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

Chapter 417 Do you want to examine it more thoroughly?

It wasn't until he was trampled underfoot that Oscar seemed to realize what had happened.

Despite the splitting headache, he struggled to open his eyes, which were already covered in blood, only to see Huo Yuhao raise the Sword of Life with both hands and thrust it fiercely towards his neck.

A strong sense of crisis exploded in his mind. In that instant, Oscar almost instinctively raised his left hand and gripped the emerald green short blade tightly.

Even though the short blade had ripped the flesh of his palm to shreds, his strong will to survive prevented him from letting go. Instead, he unleashed astonishing power, using all his strength to block the attack.

However, this scene only fueled Huo Yuhao's madness.

Suddenly, the eight spirit rings that originally belonged to the Spirit Eye beneath him disappeared, replaced by the seven spirit rings of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul.

But that wasn't all. Huo Yuhao then activated the source of arrogance and rage that he hadn't used for a long time.

As two dazzling lights shone from his body, his already exaggerated power surged once more, briefly suppressing Oscar in his Asura God state, and slowly pressing down on him under the astonished gaze of the other party.

The enhancement effects of the two original sin sources are not static, but rather have an upscaling effect, improving upon Huo Yuhao's original foundation.

It is precisely for this reason that he has rarely used this power since merging with the Snow Emperor.

After all, although his combat power has always been strong, his actual cultivation level is not very high. For example, when he was only at the seventh ring, even after activating the Pride Origin, his cultivation level only rose to the level of a Title Douluo.

Conversely, after merging with the Snow Empress, he essentially gained the full power of a priest. In comparison, the enhancement effect of the two original sin sources naturally seems somewhat lackluster.

Perhaps one day in the future, when Huo Yuhao has a sufficiently strong foundation of cultivation, the enhancement effect of the Pride Origin will surpass that of the Snow Empress, but he clearly does not have that ability yet.

However, the fact that his cultivation level didn't improve much doesn't mean that the Pride Source had no effect on him. You should know that this thing not only improves cultivation level, but also greatly increases physical fitness and strength!

In this respect, Huo Yuhao, who has already absorbed the complete power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, does not have the problem of having a low base level, which makes the improvement ineffective.

With just the activation of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, his power was already much stronger than that of Ma Hongjun, who was a second-level god. Now, with the simultaneous activation of the Pride and Fury Origins, his power was approaching that of a first-level god.

Oscar, who was being trampled underfoot, was stunned by the scene. His pupils contracted slightly, not knowing whether it was the sudden surge of power from the other party or the dark aura that clearly came from the God of Original Sin.

Just then, a dark red light flashed in Huo Yuhao's silver-white eyes.

Senses amplified!

As his lustful nature was silently aroused, Huo Yuhao gripped the hilt of the Sword of Life with both hands and twisted it with all his might.

The sharp blade churned through the mangled flesh, amplifying the already unbearable pain several times over, causing Oscar, caught off guard, to scream in agony as his arm began to spasm uncontrollably.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huo Yuhao suddenly drew his short blade, bent his knees and raised his leg again, and angrily stomped on Oscar's chest!

Boom-! ! !

The earth trembled and cried out in anguish.

From that thunderous roar, Oscar's chest caved in, and his eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets.

Uncontrollably, crimson blood gushed from his mouth, landing on Huo Yuhao's snow-white hair and clothes, making him look like a ferocious demon.

But no matter what, the difference in cultivation between the two was still there. After a brief period of intense pain, Oscar forcibly suppressed the amplified sensory effects. His right hand, which was gripping the blood-red greatsword, exerted force again and slashed at Huo Yuhao's thigh, which was standing on his chest, without hesitation.

This move did indeed work. As a god who was in charge of killing, Huo Yuhao was well aware of the Asura God's destructive power. Almost the instant he realized the opponent's intention, he flew up and dodged this seemingly ordinary attack.

Despite his current dominance over Oscar, he wasn't actually in much better shape. After unleashing a soul shock that had amplified by 256 times, even with the Eye of Destiny, now a super artifact, protecting him, he still felt a tearing pain in his head.

The accompanying dizziness, coupled with the almost frantic release of his physical strength, caused his limbs to unconsciously become somewhat weak, making it undoubtedly a better choice to temporarily create distance.

Having successfully gained a brief respite, Oscar struggled to his feet, his face contorted with pain, as he looked at the white-haired man who had severely injured him.

"You're Huo Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao didn't speak, but silently took out the Twin Swords.

Then, it summoned the ice and fire dragon wings on its back.

Oscar felt a chill run down his spine every time he pulled something out.

The power came from the God of Original Sin, and one after another, artifacts that seemed as common as cabbages on the roadside, and finally, two external soul bones whose quality was comparable to that of artifacts.

He simply couldn't understand how a being from the lower realm could possess such things.

"Owner……"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's state, Ning Rongrong instinctively wanted to say something, but she stopped abruptly when she saw the look he was giving her, and dared not make a sound.

His originally indifferent silver-white eyes seemed to be stained with blood, and contained a chilling ferocity and murderous intent.

Even back in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, she had never seen Huo Yuhao so crazy.

The next second, Huo Yuhao moved again.

The ice dragon wings on his back glowed faintly, and the water elements in the air gathered and formed a huge dragon head from the void. It opened its mouth and breathed out a lifeless frost breath downwards.

What appeared to be merely a light, white mist to the naked eye seemed to plunge the world into an ice age. The terrifyingly low temperature made Oscar feel as if his blood was about to freeze, and he involuntarily shivered.

But he did not panic. The blood sword in his hand once again burst out with scarlet light, and it looked like it was about to dispel the cold mist. However, Huo Yuhao took this opportunity to descend from the sky and reappeared from the cold mist. The twin swords in his hand burst out with unprecedented light and slashed down towards Oscar's face.

Emperor's Sword!

Although he was already on high alert, Oscar was still instinctively shocked when he saw Huo Yuhao actually break into the range of the blood-red light and launch an attack on him.

It's unbelievable that there's such a reckless fighting style.

He instinctively raised his greatsword horizontally, but once again clearly felt Huo Yuhao's terrifying strength, which was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

It was as if the opponent was wielding not a slender longsword, but an axe or a giant hammer. Although the previous move hadn't given him any sense of power, the force that followed made his hands suddenly go numb, and he instinctively staggered forward.

Where the hell did this monster come from?!

Why have this guy's eyes changed again?

As if covered by winter frost, Oscar keenly noticed Huo Yuhao's change and felt a sudden sense of unease well up in his heart.

Immediately afterward, as if his premonition had come true, a beautiful figure resembling Huo Yuhao appeared behind him and slashed at him with her long sword.

It's the Imperial Sword again! The Snow Empress's Imperial Sword!

Even though he activated his Asura Divine Power to protect himself the moment he sensed the danger, he still couldn't completely withstand the damage from the Emperor Sword. The sharp sword intent left a deep bloodstain on his back.

Fortunately, the chilling aura of the Emperor's Sword immediately froze the nerves around his wound, so the attack did not cause him any pain, and he did not even bleed much.

But this thought only lasted for a moment before Oscar realized something was wrong.

He sensed an inexplicable, bone-chilling coldness spreading from the sword wound into his body.

The next instant, the Snow Empress unhesitatingly activated the Ice Explosion Technique.

boom--

A deafening roar.

As if a bomb had been planted in his wound, Oscar screamed in agony as his back was blown to pieces, the blood and flesh of which were instantly frozen into crimson ice shards, carried away by the shockwave.

By fusing with the Snow Empress's left arm bone, the original Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone not only successfully advanced to the divine level, greatly increasing the power of the Ice Explosion Technique, but also making it more practical than before.

Now, this skill is no longer like before, where you have to inject special ice-attribute soul power into the opponent's body through physical contact before detonating. Instead, you can integrate soul power into the attack in advance while releasing other skills, and then unleash it directly upon hitting the target.

Besides the Ice Blast Technique, the left arm bone also gained a new passive effect during the fusion with the Snow Emperor's soul bone: it has an unimaginable enhancement effect on any ice-attribute skill released through the left hand.

Without a doubt, the most suitable techniques for this effect, besides the Ice Explosion Technique which also belongs to the left arm bone, are the Snow Empress's two most famous signature techniques.

Her original intention in granting Huo Yuhao this ability was to maximize the power of these skills.

Thus, with the enhancement of multiple divine skills, the power of this ice explosion was directly amplified to an extremely exaggerated level, causing great damage to Oscar while also shattering the Asura divine power on the surface of his body from the inside, making it disappear without a trace.

Faced with this rare opportunity, Huo Yuhao and Xue Di seemed to be of one mind, simultaneously raising their left hands, which had turned ice blue, and pressing them one after the other towards Oscar's heart.

"roll!!!"

Oscar roared wildly, no longer caring about conserving his divine power, and instinctively wanted to throw the two of them away.

But Huo Yuhao seemed to have anticipated this, and once again activated the Ice Dragon Wings on his back.

It was that familiar, eerie feeling, as if a portion of time had been quietly ripped away. Although the freeze was shorter this time, at such close range, a moment was enough for Huo Yuhao's attack to hit.

Oscar looked down in astonishment, staring in disbelief at the hand that had suddenly been imprinted on his chest, as if struck by lightning.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Huo Yuhao didn't give him the chance at all. As his left arm lit up with a bright green light, the Ice Explosion Technique was activated again!

A violent surge of energy erupted from Oscar's body, unleashing a devastating force that extinguished all life from within.

Oscar did not reappear until the shockwave and dust dissipated.

He was facing Huo Yuhao when he uncontrollably knelt down on the ground, vomiting blood. A huge hole had appeared in his chest, and his heart, which should have been in the center, had disappeared without a trace.

Just like the wound inflicted by the Emperor's Sword, no blood seeped out. It was unclear whether the blood had been frozen or had been completely obliterated in the explosion.

From the silence, Huo Yuhao sheathed his twin swords, roughly lifted Oscar's hair, forced him to meet his gaze, and asked, word by word.

Tell me, how do you want to die?

Oscar's eyes were unfocused, his lips twitched, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Ha! Huo Yuhao... cough cough... you'll die a horrible death!"

Even breathing seemed to become extremely difficult for him. His voice was broken and intermittent as he viciously cursed Huo Yuhao before the end of his life.

"."

Hearing Oscar's response, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but lower his eyes. As the scene of Gu Yuena being injured flashed through his mind, the madness in his eyes intensified.

Just as he was about to torture the other party by any means, an ethereal voice rang in his ears.

"Give him a quick death."

Huo Yuhao trembled and turned his head sharply, seeing the silver-haired girl who had appeared beside him at some point.

Although he looked somewhat weak, apart from a few traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, there were no obvious external injuries on his body.

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but found his voice choked with emotion.

"As you can see, I'm fine."

As if guessing what Huo Yuhao wanted to ask, Gu Yuena spread her arms and spun around in front of him, blinking twice.

"Or would you like to have a more thorough examination?"

"...At a time like this, you're still thinking about joking."

Huo Yuhao seemed amused by her words, but as he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and the violent aura emanating from his body disappeared in an instant.

It was as if she had suddenly turned back into that harmless little lamb.

But as his gaze returned to Oscar, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he activated the dimensional seed located in his mental space.

Just like when it devoured Ning Rongrong's Nine-Colored Goddess position, a verdant vine emerged from the Eye of Destiny, poured into Oscar's forehead, and plundered his entire divine position.

Losing one's divine position means losing hope of resurrection; after death, one can only enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Of course, compared to experiencing excruciating torment under amplified senses, or being destined to die and having one's soul scattered, unable even to enter the cycle of reincarnation, this was already considered a relatively mild method by Huo Yuhao.

And there was no need for Huo Yuhao to take any further action. Without the blessing of his divine position, Oscar's lingering life finally came to an end, and his eyes became completely dull and lifeless.

At the same time, the God of Destruction and others from the divine realm seemed to sense something and their eyes widened suddenly.

"Another god has fallen!?"
