Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 339 Our First Meeting, I've Come to Kill You

Bang!

After a thunderous explosion, Tang San's arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist. However, before he could even utter a sound, the blue-gold phantom in front of him struck his forehead with a lightning-fast finger.

As the force emanated from his fingertips, Tang San suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.

Immediately afterwards, his head exploded like a watermelon hitting the ground, along with his body, which seemed to have been hit by a chain reaction.

Bones, flesh, and all bodily tissues exploded at that moment, turning into a pool of blood evenly smeared on the ground, leaving not even a slightly larger bone fragment.

"The 273rd time."

The woman glanced at the blood-stained ground with disgust, raised her hand, and yawned wearily.

"How long are you planning to keep going? Haven't you been tested enough?"

"Becoming my successor is not such an easy thing."

The blue-haired figure spoke calmly: "Back then, the two God-Kings, Evil and Good, entrusted the God Realm to me. Naturally, I must be responsible for the safety of the God Realm. If he can't even handle this much, how can I entrust the God Realm to him with peace of mind?"

"Hmph, I see now, you're deliberately torturing him."

The woman pursed her lips, then couldn't help but glance at the blood-stained ground: "Speaking of which, this little guy's tenacity is truly extraordinary; he hasn't given up even now."

"That's really good, but he's probably close to his limit."

The blue-haired man seemed to have thought of something, and chuckled as he asked, "Do you think if I gave him a choice right now, he would agree without hesitation?"

"You really have a twisted sense of humor..."

During the conversation, the blue-haired man waved his hand again, and Tang San, who had been blown to pieces, seemed to have experienced a reversal of time and reformed.

So easily, they pulled him back from the embrace of death.

Returning to the world of men.

As soon as he regained consciousness, Tang San trembled all over and collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, retching violently.

He did this not because he couldn't bear the pain.

Having experienced hundreds of deaths, he had long since become numb to the agony of his body being slowly crushed. What truly terrified him, causing him to shudder and vomit incessantly, was the despair of utter helplessness.

This has happened hundreds of times already. How many more times will this happen?

How much longer does he need to endure before the other party lowers their guard as he expects?

How much longer will it take before I have a chance to escape?

As these thoughts surfaced in his mind, an unprecedented sense of fear swept over Tang San, as if an invisible hand was dragging his soul into an abyss of eternal silence.

Not far in front of him, the blue-gold phantom looked down indifferently at his current ugly state, and spoke in a slightly seductive voice.

"Do you want to end all of this?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw the other party conjure a golden short blade out of thin air and casually throw it in front of him.

"You can skip the second test if you castrate yourself."

"..."

Surprisingly, Tang San did not resist his suggestion; instead, he felt a sense of relief at finally being able to find a way out.

There was even a sense of relief that "it was so easy to end all of this."

There was no resentment or hatred, no bitterness or unwillingness. In that almost numb state of mind, he felt as if he could calmly accept everything.

However, just as he trembled as he picked up the short blade and slowly approached his little tuft of hair, Huo Yuhao's ferocious face, filled with mockery and ridicule, suddenly appeared in his mind.

Like a devil who revels in the suffering of others, his azure eyes, which looked at him, were filled with anticipation and schadenfreude.

For no apparent reason, Tang San was jolted awake and threw it away as if waking from a dream.

no no!

It's not time to give up yet. As long as we persevere, the other party will eventually reveal their weakness.

He will definitely have another chance... When the time comes, whether it's Huo Yuhao or Tang San from the God Realm, he will repay them a hundredfold for the suffering they inflicted upon him!

Noticing the renewed glint in Tang San's eyes, the blue-gold phantom narrowed its eyes slightly.

He was genuinely shocked. He didn't know if it was because Da Ming and Er Ming had tortured him too much before, but this teenager in front of him actually possessed a willpower that was no less than his own.

Clearly, simply torturing and killing this guy with the same name wouldn't achieve the desired effect. To truly control him, he had to try other methods...

Oh well, there's plenty of time anyway, we can take it slow later.

The most urgent task now is to give this guy the status of a successor to a divine position, so as to prevent any unforeseen changes or complications.

The crisp sound drew his attention back to Tang San, who had once again summoned the eight spider spears on his back and was charging towards him, brandishing the Clear Sky Hammer.

Faced with this harmless attack, the blue-gold phantom, having already made its decision, struck with lightning speed, slapping him across the face.

The powerful blow dislocated Tang San's chin, and his body was sent flying uncontrollably.

Crimson blood mixed with his teeth spurted from his mouth, and he spun around before crashing heavily to the ground.

boom--

The tinnitus echoed incessantly, his head buzzed, and despite the burning pain on his face, Tang San was surprised.

Why didn't the opponent smash his head in one blow this time?

But then, a gentle voice answered his question.

"Failed the second round of assessment, entering deep adventure."

The next second, a golden beam of light descended from the sky, healing his injuries and teleporting him away from this nightmarish place.

"Where did you take him?" the woman next to her asked curiously.

"Little White's clan territory."

"……ah?

Seemingly sensing the woman's confusion, the blue-haired man added calmly.

"Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is dead, he still has a wife and daughter alive. To prevent them from threatening the lives of other sea spirit beasts in the future, we should take this opportunity to get rid of them as well."

"Just like when we dealt with the Demon Orca King, I plan to have that kid assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan in carrying out this mission."

"I see."

The woman nodded thoughtfully, then seemed lost in some kind of reminiscence, her eyes flickering slightly: "Speaking of which, it's been so long since I've seen Xiaobai since I became a god. Is he in any danger?"

"This time I plan to deal with the smaller one first. With Little White by my side, there shouldn't be any danger..."

As he spoke, the blue-haired man's voice gradually lost its confidence.

Remembering the times he had suffered at the hands of the Silver Dragon King due to carelessness, he suddenly changed his mind.

"But you're right. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, it's better for me to follow secretly. I'll leave things here to you."

Although the Silver Dragon King mistakenly believed that this was a trap set by him and did not act rashly, who knows if the other party would travel through space to check the situation after sensing Tang San's location?

It's better to be safe than sorry.

If Tang San were to fall back into the Silver Dragon King's hands at this crucial moment, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to him.

Although he wasn't present in his true form right now, he could still manage to stop the Silver Dragon King for a while, preventing her from taking the person away...

"Okay, okay."

Watching the blue-haired man's figure gradually disappear, the woman waved her hand listlessly: "Give my regards to Xiaobai."

Soon, as the blue-haired man disappeared, the entire Qiankun Wenqing Valley fell into silence.

Just as the woman was feeling helpless in the face of the dull environment, a white figure stepped into the valley without any hesitation.

"Um?"

As the controller of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, the woman naturally sensed the situation immediately. Her eyes lit up slightly as she looked at the uninvited guest who had suddenly stepped into the valley.

"Oh, a handsome young man has arrived?"

Having long been accustomed to her divine status and considering herself superior, the woman felt no sense of vigilance whatsoever. After a brief moment of thought, a playful smile crept onto her lips.

"In that case, I'll use you to kill some time."

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden and silver light, under the woman's control, surged towards the handsome white-haired boy like a wave.

To her surprise, even in the face of such a sudden situation, the boy did not show the panic she expected. Instead, he let the halo pull him towards the valley without any resistance.

They even seemed a little impatient.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Gazing at the boy's calm demeanor, the woman felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of unease.

But she quickly suppressed that feeling.

Although her cultivation level was not as high as that of the blue-haired man from before, she was still a genuine second-level god, which was vastly different from the humans in the Douluo Continent. Moreover, she was currently in control of the Qiankun Wenqing Valley, so how could she possibly be afraid of a seemingly harmless human boy?

"You're scaring yourself..."

Before she could finish speaking, the woman's pupils constricted sharply, as if she had seen something terrifying.

After the boy landed on the golden platform, seven spirit rings quietly appeared beneath him, and his azure eyes also gained intricate patterns, resembling some kind of eerie formation from a distance.

However, this was not the most terrifying thing for her. As the boy slowly raised his head, the intricate halo began to rotate on its own in a strange manner.

Immediately afterwards, the boy's gaze seemed to pierce through an invisible barrier, landing precisely on her.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

From calm to sudden realization, and finally to deathly indifference.

Witnessing the change in those eyes, the woman instinctively held her breath, her whole body stiffening as if filled with lead.

In an instant, a tangible chill rushed into her heart, frantically assaulting her reason.

This guy... he can see himself!?

"Nice to meet you, Nine-Colored Goddess..."

As if to confirm her thoughts, the young man, whose appearance was so stunning that even she felt somewhat inferior, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, forming a cruel arc.

Without making a fuss about his malice, after a polite greeting, he uttered cold words that foreshadowed the situation being completely out of control.

"—I've come to kill you."

Its snow-white hair grew at a visible speed, and its entire body was covered with magnificent white and blue dragon scales. Even its seven extraordinary soul rings had turned into a completely different color.

Orange, red, red, orange, red, blue-gold, blue-gold.

Before Ning Rongrong could react, the last two extremely gorgeous blue-gold spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

The next second, a frosty white mist condensed around the boy, and the unimaginably terrifying low temperature froze everything, including the air.

Within that cold mist, the boy's hair, which reached his ankles, took on a crystal-clear quality, and his silver-white vertical pupils changed once again.

Like frost flowers spreading silently on the window surface in the cold winter, growing wildly like thorns without any pattern.

It also resembled a magnificent spectacle called rime ice, unique to extremely cold regions, with ever-changing and exquisite patterns filling the originally silvery mirror-like eyes.

Almost immediately upon seeing them, one is captivated by the breathtaking beauty contained within those eyes, instinctively wanting to immerse oneself in it.

Similar to the Ocean Song provided by Liya and the Sea Princess, the sixth spirit ring provided by Xue Di not only granted Huo Yuhao the domain spirit skill Emperor Hantian, but also shared a linked spirit skill with the seventh spirit ring formed from the power of faith.

The goddess's smile.

As a soul skill that requires two soul rings to work together, it not only replaced the true form of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, but also brought Huo Yuhao unimaginable rewards.

First, there are all sorts of unimaginable boosts. With the combined blessing of the two divine rings, all the original attributes of the martial soul have been raised to an extremely exaggerated level. Even all the ice attribute soul skills have temporarily reached the level of divine skills.

This means that his soul skills have not only been enhanced in power, but they will also not be significantly weakened when they hit deities.

One important difference between gods and mortal beings is that their divine bodies have extremely high resistance to attacks launched by low-level energy, such as soul skills.

While it cannot achieve 100% immunity, it is enough to significantly reduce the effectiveness of ordinary soul skills, giving them a huge advantage in battle.

Once this soul skill is activated, all of Huo Yuhao's ice-attribute skills will transcend the scope of soul skills, and the damage he inflicts on deities will also be significantly increased.

But these are not all its effects. In addition to providing Huo Yuhao with a terrifying boost that surpasses that of a normal Martial Soul True Body, the Goddess's Smile can also summon the Snow Empress to fight alongside him, just like the Ice Emperor True Body in her previous life.

The difference between the two is that the Ice Emperor's true form summoned the Ice Emperor at her peak, whose cultivation was comparable to a level 98 Super Douluo.

The goddess's smile summoned the Snow Empress, who could replicate and use all of Huo Yuhao's ice-attribute skills except for the Ice Dragon Wings, and whose cultivation and combat power were on par with his.

An Ice Emperor with a combat power of level 98 might not be of much help to Huo Yuhao now, but what if it were another version of himself who could use all ice-attribute abilities?

Most importantly, as Huo Yuhao adds soul rings to the Ice Emperor Martial Soul or continues to improve his cultivation, the power of the Snow Empress he summons will also increase, and one can imagine how terrifying its effect will be.

This is the origin of the name of the Soul Skill.

"Are you ready?"

With a flick of his wrist, the Twin Swords appeared in Huo Yuhao's palm, and beside him, the Snow Empress, wielding an ice-blue longsword, quietly appeared.

With the same silver-white eyes and the same ice-blue dragon scales, if it weren't for the fact that her appearance was softer than Huo Yuhao's, and that her figure and clothing made it clear at a glance that she was a woman, anyone would have thought that she was a clone of Huo Yuhao.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, Xue Di smiled slightly and uttered firm words as if making a vow.

"For your use."

As soon as they finished speaking, the longswords in their hands simultaneously emitted a dazzling ice-blue light.

A chilling aura filled the air, and a sharp energy condensed from the blades. As the two raised their hands, two dazzling sword lights shot into the sky, easily shattering the surrounding space and piercing through the golden sun and silver moon hanging high in the sky.

Finally, he slashed at Ning Rongrong, whose face showed a look of terror.

……

"Look, what's that?"

Beyond the valley, in the distant Ming capital, someone pointed to the sword light that was rapidly rising in the sky, dragging a large black spatial rift across the azure curtain, as if it were about to split the sky in two, and exclaimed in amazement.

"That's... sword intent?"

In the crowd, Ji Juechen looked up at the sword light that represented the ultimate, and a candle-like light shone in his dark eyes. He suddenly turned his head to look at Jing Ziyan beside him, his voice filled with excitement.

"Let's go take a look!"
