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

Chapter 394 Rebuilding the Glory of the Tang Clan: The Seven Freaks Have an Unshirkable Duty! (Two Chapters Combined)

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's description, the Evil Emperor's eyes widened involuntarily.

"You mean, the thing lying in there is the ancestor of those guys from the Purple Emperor's Extinction Dragon gang?"

"This is just speculation at the moment, and it cannot be completely confirmed."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, and while setting up the ceremony venue, he casually asked, "By the way, you actually know the Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon Clan? Then tell me about them."

"To be honest, I don't know much about them either. To be honest, I'm not really familiar with the soul beast races of Jingyang Mountain. I only had some contact with them when I lived in Jingyang Mountain before."

"But now that you two have said that, I understand why those guys always like to head into the heart of the mountains."

The Evil Emperor pondered for a moment, then looked up at Huo Yuhao: "Actually, what I just said isn't over yet. The clansman I sent to the center of the mountain range later encountered a ten-thousand-year tribulation with power far exceeding that experienced by other soul beasts, and ultimately perished because his origin was damaged."

Huo Yuhao was puzzled: "Did he experience a heavenly tribulation in the Jingyang Mountains?"

"No, it's the Demon Forest. It seems that because he went deep into the center of the Jingyang Mountains, the influence of that thing on the Heavenly Tribulation has been permanently left on him."

When talking about his clansmen, a hint of regret finally flashed in the Evil Emperor's eyes: "Although his talent is not as good as mine, in theory, breaking through 100,000 years should not be a problem. This is also the reason why I have not dared to enter the Jingyang Mountains for hundreds of thousands of years."

"Speaking of this, I actually admire the Zihuang Extinction Dragon Clan. Almost every member of their clan has ventured deep into the heart of the mountains and been affected by the Heavenly Tribulation. Yet, even under these circumstances, there are still a few individuals who are able to withstand the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation after receiving the blessing, break through 200,000 years of cultivation, and advance to the level of ferocious beasts."

"Of course, many Purple Emperor Heaven-Slaying Dragons, like my clansman, died directly under the 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation."

Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the truth behind the Zihuang Extinction Heavenly Dragon Clan's disappearance from the annals of history?"

The Evil Emperor shook his head: "At most, that can only be considered one of the reasons. They brought it on themselves. In fact, this race is small in number and brutal by nature, even more so than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"After the strong members of their clan died one after another under the heavenly tribulation, what awaited those weaker clansmen was the encirclement and annihilation by the other soul beasts. As far as I know, the last Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon died 20,000 years ago when it was besieged by several 100,000-year-old soul beasts."

"."

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. Just as he finished setting up the ritual formation, he clapped his hands.

"I understand. In that case, let's get started quickly and head to Jingyang Mountain Range to see what makes this so-called Ancestor of the Sub-Dragon so powerful."

"?"

What is that?

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Evil Emperor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Damn it, I'm telling you this so you can stay away from that awful place, not so you can go in and die!

So I've gotten myself on a pirate ship?!

This isn't a vehicle heading to the realm of gods!

"that."

An unease flickered in the Evil Emperor's eyes as he cautiously said, "I suddenly feel that living in the Demon Forest isn't so bad. How about this: I won't hold your trespassing against my territory against you, and we'll keep to ourselves from now on, okay?"

In response to his suggestion, Huo Yuhao merely curled his lips into a gentle, harmless smile.

"Words spoken are like water spilled; do you think that's possible?"

Of course, while saying this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy inside.

Especially after confirming the identity of this Dragon King as the "sub-dragon born alongside the Dragon God" and the "legendary ancestor of sub-dragons".

As such an ancient being, even if his strength is not as great as the Dragon God of the past, he should be much stronger than the Ice and Fire Dragon King, who is clearly a generation younger, not to mention that he controls destructive power far beyond the ordinary elements.

Unable to inherit a divine position and with his cultivation level stuck at level 99, this was undoubtedly exactly what he desperately needed—power that would give him enough say when facing the gods of the divine realm.

After all, even though he could easily kill Ning Rongrong, it was only because she was a support deity who wasn't good at fighting, and that's not a reliable indicator.

As for Tang San's wisp of divine soul, whose combat power was comparable to that of a peak second-level god, although he also achieved victory, it was more due to the space-time freezing effect of the Ice Dragon Wings and the sealing effect of the Jealousy Source.

This move seems very practical, but in reality, if the opponent sends out two decent level two deities at the same time, he will be in a tough fight.

Sealing cultivation takes time, and he can only seal one person at a time. Unless the other person is stupid enough to just stand there and stare blankly, even if they just interfere casually, he will not have a chance to succeed.

In short, with his current strength, he might be able to crush everything in the lower realms, acting like he doesn't eat beef when he sees anyone. But if he were to look at the God Realm, even a slightly powerful first-level god would be enough to flatten and crush him, not to mention the five God Kings, including Tang San.

Although it is already an extremely exaggerated thing for someone who is not even a Contra Douluo in terms of cultivation level, he also faces the predicament of finding it difficult to make further breakthroughs on this basis.

For example, continuously enabling the souls in the spiritual space to become priests can improve his strength, but the extent is relatively limited and not enough for him to bridge the gap with those first-level gods or even god kings.

This is obvious. If someone as powerful as a god-king could catch up to you after you merged with a few gods, that would be a real joke.

Now, the legacy of the Ancestor of the Dragons undoubtedly gives him a real opportunity to catch up with these powerful figures.

Perhaps after so many years, the Dragon King's power has also been greatly depleted, but as the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. With the power that surpassed that of ordinary god-kings in his lifetime, even after so many years, it can still bring unimaginable improvement to Huo Yuhao.

But then another problem arises: this thing is powerful, but swallowing it whole is not an easy task.

According to the legend, the progenitor of the dragons was killed by the dragon god himself. Although the reason is unclear, to be on the safe side, Gu Yue Na, who is half of the dragon god, certainly cannot help him like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Just like how the Ice and Fire Dragon King would instinctively submit upon sensing Gu Yuena's aura, if this thing were to instinctively go berserk upon sensing an aura, there would be no one left to cry to.

However, there's no point in considering these things now. We'll have to see how things go first. The most urgent task is to condense the second soul core so that as many souls in the spiritual space as possible can become priests.

Although doing this will not give him the power to contend with the God King, there will always be a time when quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Moreover, the more power he integrates, the more confident he will be when facing the Ancestor of the Dragons.

If you can't deal with the God King, can't you at least deal with the power left behind by the God King who died many years ago?

Nodding slightly to Gu Yuena beside him, Huo Yuhao summoned Elder Yi from his mental space and asked him to help preside over the ceremony.

"Teacher, let's begin."

"it is good."

Seeing that this calamity seemed unavoidable, the Evil Emperor sighed and asked in a desperate manner.

"So, what part of the soul bone do you want? By the way, I'd recommend the arm, because that way, your fingers can be made to resemble mine at will..."

"I refuse."

Before the Evil Emperor could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao rejected his suggestion without hesitation and said seriously that if he really got such a soul bone, he would definitely make things difficult for every one of his tentacles in the future.

Finally, after a harmonious discussion, the location of the soul bone was determined to be the same as the Evil Eye Soul Bone from the previous life.

As for the Evil Emperor himself, although he was indignant about Huo Yuhao's discrimination against tentacles and bluntly stated that they did not know how to appreciate true beauty, he could only reluctantly accept it due to the other party's tyranny.

In fact, there are many benefits to choosing the Evil Eye external soul bone.

Firstly, this position belongs to the vertical eye, which is connected to the skull. Just like the power left behind by the Ice Dragon King greatly improved the quality of the Ice Emperor's torso bones, with the effect of the source of greed, he can completely make the head soul bone, which is also of the spiritual attribute and was given by Alu, also advance to the god level in this fusion.

This was undoubtedly a huge boost to Huo Yuhao. Judging from the soul skills that were as applicable and effective as those of the Evil Emperor and the Sea Princess, it was clear that Aru's race had an exceptional talent in mental power. However, due to their cultivation level and weak physical condition, they were unable to fully unleash this potential.

Now that the quality of the soul bone has the potential to be upgraded to god-level, this potential can finally be realized.

Leaving aside the mental barrier, with this skill in place, even if the Evil Emperor exhausts all his life force while releasing the Light of Time and Space, he still cannot harm Huo Yuhao in the slightest.

Once it is upgraded to a divine skill, its effects will only become more exaggerated, and it may even be able to resist divine attacks from deities.

As for the other skill, Mind and Body Clarity, although it doesn't seem to have much presence in normal times, it plays a crucial role whenever Huo Yuhao uses the Judgment Messenger Martial Soul or even the Origin of Original Sin.

After all, no matter how strong Huo Yuhao's willpower is, there will always be times when he relaxes and becomes negligent. Without the support of this skill, he would probably have already been influenced by the desires of the original sin and succumbed to them.

Now, this skill has been upgraded to a divine skill, which not only further reduces the risk of him using the Judgment Messenger Martial Soul, but also lays the foundation for him to completely control these original sin sources in the future, which can be described as a huge improvement.

Secondly, besides being able to enhance Aru's soul bone through the source of greed, choosing the Evil Eye Soul Bone has another advantage: it can be used as a fusion material to help the Eye of Destiny advance.

The reason why his Eye of Destiny was able to be upgraded to a level that surpassed ordinary divine artifacts in just a few decades in his previous life was definitely due to the external soul bone of the Evil Emperor.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of the high starting point brought about by the fusion that his natal artifact was able to stand out from all other artifacts and possess such high potential.

In this life, after ascending to the rank of priest through the power of faith, the soul bone born from the Evil Emperor will only become stronger than before, just like the remains of Brother Tianmeng.

Furthermore, since the Eye of Destiny had already consumed an Evil Eye Soul Bone in its previous life, it is in some ways from the same source as this thing. If it is supported by the power of faith during the process, it might really be able to help it break through again from a state that was already not far from becoming a super artifact.

It will become his truly unique and irreplaceable divine weapon.

a few days later.

"...Is this the Douluo Continent ten thousand years from now?"

Looking at the boundless sea before him, Ma Hongjun raised his hand and scratched his long, bright red hair, his tone filled with curiosity.

"It doesn't look much different from when we left."

"Changes should only occur on human territory. What changes can we expect to see on this desolate sea?"

Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun on the head in annoyance and couldn't help but retort.

"I've heard that the continent has developed very rapidly in the past ten thousand years. Back then, we could only use soul tools for storage, but now they have developed into all sorts of things with various functions. Even the Tang Sect, which we founded together, has declined as a result."

Before Ma Hongjun could speak, Oscar couldn't help but curl his lip in disdain, looking utterly contemptuous.

The latest novel is first published here!

"So what if it has many functions? You can only use a specific soul tool at a certain level. Does it mean you can fight beyond your level?"

"Those people are truly blind. How could a mere soul tool compare to Xiao San's hidden weapons? Back when we were all Soul Masters, we killed the Soul Master of the Fierce God Team with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. The entire process didn't even require expending a single bit of soul power. Can a soul tool from ten thousand years later do that?"

"But these people, one by one, have actually embraced soul tools and now look down on hidden weapons!"

Perhaps because Ning Rongrong met her demise here, Oscar now harbors a deep-seated hatred for everything related to Ning Rongrong, and a subtle hostility towards the entire Douluo Continent.

Furthermore, when he was a support-type Soul Master adventuring alone, Tang San's hidden weapons had helped him escape danger on many occasions, so Oscar naturally couldn't stand seeing Tang Sect's hidden weapons suffer such unfair treatment.

Knowing that Oscar was emotionally unstable, Ma Hongjun patted his shoulder and gently comforted him.

"Alright, Xiao Ao, what's there to get so excited about? No matter how powerful that soul tool is, it's just a joke in our eyes."

"Exactly, even if we just stood there and let them hit us with their soul tools, we probably wouldn't be able to hurt a single hair on their head, right?"

Seemingly on the same page as Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai revealed a smile of agreement. Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up as he made a suggestion.

"I think we should do this: since we're bound to go to jail anyway, why not take this opportunity to let loose? If by the time we find the murderer and avenge Rongrong, the gods haven't sent anyone to arrest us yet, then we can help Xiao San revive the declining Tang Clan. What do you think?"

Although the divine realm has rules prohibiting deities from interfering with the mortal realm, the purpose of doing so is not to protect the mortal realm, but simply to maintain stability.

Especially for a native god like the God of Destruction, who was born from the divine realm from the very beginning, he wouldn't care how much trouble they caused in the lower realm. At most, he would just make them spend more time in prison.

"Great idea! Count me in!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up as he turned his head to look at the others beside him.

"Xiao Ao, Zhu Qing, and your uncle and seniors, what do you think?"

"As long as it helps Rongrong get revenge, I have no objections to anything else." Oscar was the first to express his opinion, but his expression clearly showed that he was eager to try.

Tang Hao first exchanged a glance with Tang Chen and Poseidon beside him before chuckling and refusing.

"Let the founders of the Tang Sect handle the affairs. I, as an outsider, will not get involved. If things really develop as you say, I plan to go and see how the Haotian Sect is doing. It would be best if I could help the sect take another step forward, just like you have."

Tang Chen didn't rush to express his opinion, but instead looked at Poseidon beside him and asked for her opinion.

Poseidon smiled and agreed, "In that case, I'll also go and see where the original inhabitants of Poseidon Island settled after they migrated. I've heard that things are developing quite well there."

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, everyone looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was frowning slightly.

"Let's talk about this after we find the killer."

The real business hadn't even started yet, and these people were already so optimistically fantasizing about what would happen if they succeeded. It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Alright."

Seemingly sensing that Zhu Zhuqing wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, the others didn't press her and quickly changed the subject.

"In that case, let's speed things up. We're still completely clueless about the killer. Instead of wandering around like headless chickens, we should first discuss how to find them."

"How about we ask some humans from the lower realms to find out what's going on?"

Ma Hongjun suggested hesitantly, "I think we can go back to the academy first. I heard that Shrek Academy has become the number one academy, with students all over the continent. They might know something about it."

"Hey, it's rare to see you use your brain, Fatty. But this is too inefficient. Time is of the essence. We must find the murderer before the gods of the divine realm become aware of this."

Dai Mubai chuckled twice and shared his thoughts: "I think we should split up. Zhu Qing and I will go back to the Star Luo Empire to ask the royal family about the situation, and Fatty, you can go to Shrek Academy."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned subconsciously: "The opponent's strength is comparable to a first-level god. We must join forces to have any chance of defeating them. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to split up?"

"As long as you don't reveal the aura of a deity carelessly, you'll be fine."

Dai Mubai waved his hand, his words full of confidence: "We went down to the mortal realm so secretly this time that even the God of Destruction and the others didn't find us. The murderer definitely won't find us either. And even if they do, we're not like Rongrong who has no fighting power at all. Even if we can't win, we can still escape."

"Of course, Zhu Qing's concerns are also reasonable. We should agree in advance that once any of us obtains accurate information or location of the murderer, we must not act rashly. It is best to notify the others to assemble first before making any plans."

Oscar nodded in agreement: "Then let's do as you say, Boss Dai. I'll go to Qiankun Wenqing, where Rongrong was murdered, and see if I can find any clues."

"Then I'll go to the Haotian Sect ahead of schedule, as planned."

Tang Hao said, "Although the sect has been in seclusion for many years, it still has a large number of disciples. If we send them out to gather information, I believe we will have results soon."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Oscar looked grateful, then turned to look at Poseidon and Tang Chen.

"If you two seniors are willing, please also help me inquire with the survivors of Seagod Island and the sea spirit beasts that live on the sea, to see if we can find any clues."

Unlike the other five, who were all at the second level of godhood, Poseidon and Tang Chen, whose cultivation was only at the level of priests, might not even have a chance to escape if they encountered a killer. For safety reasons, he decided to send the two to the safer ocean to swim.

Poseidon clearly understood his meaning and immediately smiled and nodded.

"no problem."

The realm of gods, the residence of the god of destruction.

Facing the figure in purple robes sitting upright on the sofa, the God of Pride knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.

"My lord, the gods who ascended to godhood alongside Tang San, the God of the Sea, have all secretly gone to the Douluo Continent. Do you think we should take action directly?"

"No need, let them make a fuss for a while first."

The God of Destruction shook his head, his tone cold: "Right now, these few have only secretly descended to the mortal realm. According to the rules of the divine realm, even if they are caught, they won't be imprisoned for long. It's better to wait until they cause a bigger scene and their crimes are more serious before taking action."

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked again, "Has the God of Emotions descended to the mortal realm?"

"not yet."

The God of Arrogance said somewhat awkwardly, "He said he wanted to feed his wives before leaving."

The God of Destruction's lips twitched slightly: "Tell him to hurry up, preferably to descend to the mortal realm before Tang San's companions make their move and witness their actions. That way, we'll have an additional neutral witness, and even Tang San won't be able to say anything more."

"Yes, sir. Then I shall take my leave."
