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

Chapter 422 This kid's playing tricks so cleverly? (Part 2)

"By the way, have you decided which spirit ring you want to attach to Ah Yin?"

Watching Huo Yuhao finalize his preparations, Xue Di couldn't help but ask him a question in his mind.

"...The Judgement."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and then began to explain.

"The Spirit Eye and the Ice Emperor are respectively focused on spiritual power and ultimate ice, neither of which is suitable to contain Ah Yin's power. In addition, the Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor still have reserves of power. I can gather the power of many spirits together and condense them on their own, just like in my previous life, for the ninth spirit ring of these two spirits."

"In comparison, the abilities of the Judgement Messenger are undoubtedly much more diverse, and even if it incorporates Ah Yin's creative power, it won't have much of an impact."

Xue Di nodded, as if remembering something, and continued to ask, "But didn't your Judgement reach its limit when it first contained the seven original sins? There shouldn't be any problem with continuing to fuse with Ah Yin's power, right?"

"The power of creation is compatible with almost any power except the power of destruction. In theory, as long as you are careful in the process, it will not cause the original sin to riot. In fact, to some extent, its addition can increase the stability of the Judgment Messenger Martial Soul."

At this point, Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject: "However, I don't intend for this spirit ring to only possess the power of creation."

"What do you mean?"

Xue Di was confused, but quickly realized: "Are you planning to guide the power of destruction into the spirit ring that Ah Yin gave you?"

"right."

Huo Yuhao said with a hint of helplessness, "After all, we've already suffered a loss once against the Ice and Fire Dragon King; we can't afford to do it again, can we?"

The reason why the ice and fire attributes in his body are out of balance is because the power of the ice attribute is too great, while the power of the fire attribute has not been replenished for a long time.

Although the two forces combined to form a pair of dragon wing soul bones, the ultimate ice also had the support of a large number of soul rings from the Ice Emperor Martial Soul.

Similarly, even if he uses the power of creation and the power of destruction to condense a pair of soul bones that reach a state of balance, the divine ring that Ah Yin gave him when he became a soul spirit will become a time bomb that could explode at any time.

After all, the power of a spirit ring is not static after one becomes a god. Just like Ma Hongjun and others, who stayed in the God Realm for decades, their spirit rings all reached the level of 100,000 years.

Ah Yin's extra divine ring may not cause trouble now, but unless Huo Yuhao intends to suppress its power forever and prevent it from improving further, it will eventually face an unbalanced state again.

The previous imbalance of ice and fire attributes had already caused him enough trouble, so Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't create any more problems for his future.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​treating everyone equally, he decided to risk using two completely opposite forces to jointly construct a divine ring for the Judgment Messenger's martial soul.

The Snow Empress, whose mind was in tune with Huo Yuhao's, quickly understood his thoughts and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I really don't know where you get all these crazy ideas from. By the way, won't these two forces merge?"

"Judging from your past life memories, it seems that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life perished because they merged their powers."

Huo Yuhao was not worried about Xue Di's concerns at all, and chuckled with relief.

"Don't worry, these two forces won't fuse on their own unless actively catalyzed. Have you ever seen ice and fire attributes fuse together without external intervention?"

Just thinking about it makes it clear that if things were that easy to merge, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life in the divine realm wouldn't become husband and wife, but would keep their distance or even become enemies.

After all, no one wants to lose their power and perish together because of a careless contact.

However, after listening, Xue Di only snorted coldly, her tone somewhat dissatisfied.

"Of course I know about this. What I mean is that you should be more careful and not get carried away and try to merge with any opponent you can't beat."

"Forehead"

Huo Yuhao's breath hitched, and he quickly chuckled and coughed lightly twice: "How could that be? I'm someone who values ​​my life the most."

"Ha, don't you humans say men only lie in bed? How come you're different?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately displayed a heartbroken expression, his tone filled with resentment.

"I'd like to try lying in bed, but you haven't given me the chance!"

Xue Di choked for a moment, and a sense of sympathy inexplicably arose in her heart.

But soon, this compassion was overwhelmed by an ever-growing desire.

Before she could respond, Ah Yin suddenly spoke up.

"Master, do you have any requirements regarding the location of the soul bone?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot about the soul bone."

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized, but after a brief moment of thought, he looked at A Yin with some uncertainty.

"It seems all six of my soul bone slots are already full. You have a good understanding of your own power. Do you have any recommendations for external soul bone slots?"

Thanks to the soul ritual he recently performed with the Demon Emperor, he has completely completed the task of replacing the only missing part of his left leg with a soul bone. Now, if he wants to accommodate the soul bone bestowed by Ah Yin, he will probably have to find a way from those external soul bones.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had brought the question back to her, A Yin hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I am not good at fighting, and since you, Master, do not lack high-damage skills like other Soul Masters, even if I provide an external Soul Bone, the improvement to your strength will be very limited. On the contrary, my vitality may be of greater help to you."

At this point, Ah Yin paused, her tone becoming increasingly tense: "So if Master is willing, I think we can try replacing the heart."

"Heart replacement?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued: "Tell me more about it."

With the master-servant contract in place, he naturally wasn't worried that Ah Yin would harm him. At this moment, he genuinely wanted to hear what novel ideas this Blue Silver Emperor had in store.

Seeing that he didn't get angry, Ah Yin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Here's the thing, I plan to give up on condensing an external soul bone and instead use the power of creation to condense a new heart for you, Master. Because this heart is entirely composed of life force, it has a near-perfect compatibility with any living being, so there's no need to worry about any rejection reaction from your body during the replacement process."

"And once successful, you will essentially have a heart that continuously provides life energy, which will greatly improve your physical condition."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up.

As the owner of the Gold of Life, he knew very well what Ah Yin's words meant.

If the heart transformation is completed, it is equivalent to transforming his body into a piece of living gold.

This may sound exaggerated, but the effect is definitely even better.

It should be noted that even though he had already mastered the Sword of Life, he could only activate and utilize the life energy within it. He would never dare to directly devour and refine it.

After all, if he did that, he would face the same fate as the golden tortoiseshell.

Ultimately, this is because once the host's life force reaches a certain level, the "Gold of Life" will instinctively begin to absorb it in reverse, completely draining the host's life force.

This is extremely fatal even for gods; even Gu Yuena, who is half-dragon god, cannot swallow it whole.

Now, Ah Yin's actions are equivalent to helping him condense a heart made of living gold that has been cleansed of its flaws.

Imagine if every drop of blood flowing through his heart carried life force and burst forth to his limbs and bones, nourishing every corner of his body. How incredible would that be?

When that time comes, what flows in his veins can no longer be called blood, but rather an extremely concentrated life energy.

Therefore, comparing his body to the gold of life is absolutely not an exaggeration.

Ah Yin's explanation continued.

"In addition to that, there is the Blue Silver Emperor's immortality."

"This characteristic became especially apparent after I achieved godhood. Although I can't be reborn from a drop of blood, as long as my soul remains intact, it's not difficult to quickly reshape my body and revive. If my master replaces his heart, he will probably also have this characteristic. In that case, even if he faces a life-or-death crisis, he will have a better chance of survival."

Without a doubt, this is a powerful characteristic that even Huo Yuhao couldn't help but marvel at.

For Ah Yin, whose cultivation level is only at the second level of godhood and who is not particularly skilled in combat, this effect may not be that strong. After all, her strength is what it is, and she still cannot defeat opponents she cannot defeat no matter how many times she is resurrected.

The soul of a second-level deity can easily be annihilated by the enemy's powerful methods, making it impossible for them to be resurrected.

But Huo Yuhao is different. Whether it is mental strength or soul, he is undoubtedly powerful. To eliminate him in this respect, it would be necessary for a god-king level being to take action personally.

And this is only the current situation. As his strength and cultivation increase in the future, even a God-King will no longer be able to pose the slightest threat to his life.

In addition, his formidable combat prowess and reckless fighting style allow him to maximize the power of this characteristic.

"Then let's go with the heart...that's it."

While secretly thrilled, Huo Yuhao didn't forget to remain impartial: "By the way, when you were condensing your heart, was it possible to guide the power of destruction to reside within it as well?"

"You can give it a try."

Having witnessed Huo Yuhao condense the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings firsthand, Ah Yin was not entirely unfamiliar with his idea. While giving a positive answer, she couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"However, this will greatly increase the danger of the process. After all, given the destructive power of the destructive force on the body, the process is likely to be accompanied by excruciating pain."

"I understand, it's settled then, let's begin."

Having chosen this path, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't be deterred by the slightest danger or pain.

Sometimes that's just how it is; if you want to gain more power than others, you have to take risks.

In contrast, using the power of creation and the power of destruction to establish a balance has already greatly reduced the danger on the original basis.

If you hesitate and waver even when you have such a good opportunity, you probably won't have a chance to beat Tang San.

Of course, the most important thing is that the rewards for doing this are substantial enough.

Analogous to Ah Yin's earlier idea, if the power of destruction is guided into the heart during the condensation process, could it be that he can add the attribute of destruction when he launches an attack?

Could he, like when he used the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King to complete the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, use these two powers to further temper his limbs and bones, making his physique even stronger?

What should I call my heart then?

Blue Silver Heart?

Forget it, we haven't even succeeded yet, there's no point in worrying about it now...

"Huh, why has the halo around this little guy changed?"

As Rong Nianbing watched Huo Yuhao's clothes fade and his spirit rings change, he couldn't help but frown.

"What does he want to do?"

Because of the great distance and the intense destructive power in between, he did not sense anything amiss about the spirit rings belonging to the Judgement Messenger.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw strange golden lines emerge from under Huo Yuhao's collar, like wildly growing thorns, spreading all the way to his neck before gradually stopping.

But that wasn't all. The next second, Huo Yuhao took out a short, emerald-green blade and, without hesitation, plunged it into Ah Yin's chest, right before Ah Yin's astonished eyes.

"???"

Goodness, really? This kid's got some serious tricks up his sleeve.

If that old bastard Tang Hao knew that his wife had been stabbed in the heart as a form of sexual escapade, wouldn't he be so angry he'd bleed from all seven orifices?!

Just as Rong Nianbing was filled with curiosity, Gu Yuena, who was standing to the side, seemed to have already seen through Huo Yuhao's plan and turned her head to look at him.

"Please give this to Yuhao for me; he probably needs it right now."

"Forehead?"

Rong Nianbing lowered her head and then noticed that the other party had handed her a very simple and ancient-looking turquoise bracelet, just like the Life Sword in Huo Yuhao's hand, which was lush and vibrant.

He vaguely sensed the immense life energy contained within it, and his pupils suddenly contracted, his whole being once again plunged into shock.

After a long while, as if unable to contain his curiosity, he met Gu Yuena's gaze with a puzzled look.

"I don't know either of you. This is the first time we've met. Why don't you give it to him yourself?"

"I have a portion of the Dragon God's bloodline within me; if I get too close, it might provoke the progenitor of the sub-dragons."

Gu Yuena glossed over the question, then added more details after a moment's thought.

"And this is the first time I've seen him place such trust in a deity from the divine realm; I'm willing to trust his judgment."

"..."

Rong Nianbing remained silent, then couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle softly.

"That kid is really lucky; he actually found such a good wife."

He reached out and took the bracelet, took a deep breath, and turned his head to look at where Huo Yuhao was.

"Since that's the case, I'll help you this once!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his cultivation as a first-level deity erupted from his body without reservation.

The violent shockwave instantly tore apart all the destructive power surrounding them. Feeling his body suddenly become lighter, Rong Nianbing's lips curled up again. With a heavy stomp on the ground, he shot out like lightning.

Just like a whistling wind, even though teleportation was impossible here, he managed to achieve an effect comparable to teleportation by relying on his cultivation and the wind-attribute Aotian Blade that he had somehow acquired.

Almost instantly, Rong Nianbing arrived in front of Huo Yuhao.

Then, he became somewhat unsettled.

Feeling the overwhelming aura of original sin emanating from Huo Yuhao, he was completely dumbfounded.

It's like suddenly discovering that the goddess you've been longing for is someone else's lapdog, and that seducing you is just a task for her master.

An indescribable sense of sorrow welled up in my heart.

He had even thought of letting Huo Yuhao inherit his godhood, but when he turned around, he found out that this guy was actually one of the God of Original Sin's people?

Wait, something doesn't seem right.

After sensing it carefully again, Rong Nianbing's mood suddenly changed.

Although Huo Yuhao did indeed possess the aura of the God of Original Sin, he did not seem to sense any characteristics of a successor to a divine position from him.

In other words, this guy seems to have only taken the benefits from the God of Original Sin, but hasn't become the successor to the godhood yet.

In an instant, the gloomy mood vanished, replaced by an indescribable excitement.

Just kidding, this is hardly the master's task.

This is the goddess he's been longing for, the one he'd want to cherish day and night, now actively throwing herself into his arms!

It's like a couple who are about to get married, but on the eve of their engagement, the woman is accidentally beaten to it by someone who happens to be passing by and does whatever she wants.

What could be more satisfying than stealing someone else's heir?

The thought of those original sin gods coming to their senses and discovering that the little cabbage they had painstakingly nurtured had been turned into a fait accompli made Rong Nianbing want to roar to the heavens.

"Is there something you need, senior?"

Her thoughts were pulled back to reality by Huo Yuhao's voice. Rong Nianbing froze for a moment, then quickly coughed twice and handed the bracelet that Gu Yuena had given her to Huo Yuhao.

"Your girlfriend asked me to give this to you, saying it will be helpful."

Huo Yuhao recognized it at a glance as Gu Yuena's enormous piece of living gold. Lost in thought, he couldn't help but subconsciously look at the white-haired figure in the distance.

After a long silence, he nodded seriously and said, "I understand. Thank you for bringing it over, senior."

If the Sword of Life in his hand alone was not enough to balance the vast power of the Ancestor of Dragons, then after obtaining the Gold of Life given by Gu Yuena, all of this was no longer an unattainable dream.

Unexpectedly, after delivering the items, Rong Nianbing did not leave. Instead, she pretended to be nonchalant and inquired about the matter.

"Speaking of which, with such talent, have you encountered any deities who want you as their successor?"

"Forehead?"

Although he didn't know why Rong Nianbing would ask this, Huo Yuhao still answered truthfully: "No."

"That's great!"

Rong Nianbing's face lit up with joy, but then he seemed to realize that something was off about what he had said, so he quickly explained.

"That's right. The situation in the divine realm is complicated. Many gods want to find successors, and among these gods, quite a few try to achieve their goals through coercion, bribery, and deception. The reason I asked you this question is to prevent you from being deceived by those guys and inheriting their divine positions without understanding why."

"."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao recalled his past life and couldn't help but give Rong Nianbing a strange look.

Is this guy using himself as a case study?

As expected, Rong Nianbing suddenly changed the subject and revealed his true colors.

"You've seen my strength. Although I'm not as powerful as those supreme god-kings in the divine realm, I'm still hard to beat below the god-king level. It just so happens that I've recently been planning to pass on my godhood, and you also have the aura of my emotional godhood within you, so we're quite compatible."

"Would you be willing to inherit my position as the god of emotions?"
