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

Chapter 429 A God-King Who Doesn't Belong to This Era (Part 2)

For some reason, even though Huo Yuhao's expression didn't change at all, the God of Arrogance and the others felt a chill inexplicably rise in their hearts.

A tense atmosphere permeated the air until Huo Yuhao's soft chuckle broke the silence.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Yuhao stared at the God of Destruction, retorting without backing down, "Do you intend for me to surrender as well?"

"You can understand it that way, but I'm more inclined to think that this is giving you an opportunity. You have good talent. As long as you do as I say, I can find you a divine position in the divine realm, so that you can enjoy eternal life like those gods."

"What if I refuse?"

"I'm sorry, you don't have the option to refuse."

The God of Destruction's tone remained calm, yet there was no room for negotiation.

"Since I came to this lower plane, there has been one thing that has been troubling me: until now, I have never sensed the existence of the plane's will. But just now, I suddenly understood."

"Considering your obviously abnormal talent and the ability to forcibly strip away divine status, I think the will of this world resides within you."

Halfway through his sentence, the God of Destruction suddenly shook his head, overturning his previous conclusion.

"To be more precise, you are the embodiment of the will of this plane!"

"."

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. It was the first time he had ever seen someone change the correct answer and jump straight into the wrong one.

"If I'm not mistaken, you previously stripped people of their divine power through the Seed of Planes, didn't you? Were you trying to use it to strengthen yourself and break free from the control of the divine realm?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly fall silent, the God of Destruction became even more certain of his guess, and his tone became more resolute and confident.

"I must say, as a person from a lower plane, you are very ambitious, but now that I have discovered this, I will never allow you to continue. The only way for you to survive now is to hand it over."

"A plane seed that has attempted to escape control has seriously threatened the safety of the divine realm. Even putting that aside, the fact that you have slaughtered so many gods means that even if you are unaware of the rules of the divine realm, you will ultimately not escape punishment."

"Under these circumstances, my leniency towards you is already a great favor. If you remain obstinate and refuse to hand over the Seed of the Plane, then not only me, but the other gods will not allow you to continue to exist in this world."

As he finished speaking, the God of Destruction's eyes suddenly filled with a chilling light.

"At that time, you will be an enemy of the entire divine realm."

"To be an enemy of the entire divine realm?"

As if amused by those words, Huo Yuhao scoffed lightly, his expression carrying a hint of mockery.

"What? Tang San has only just fallen, and you're already so eager to turn the God Realm into your personal fiefdom? You think you represent the entire God Realm!?"

As if he hadn't noticed the God of Destruction's increasingly gloomy expression, Huo Yuhao coldly questioned him.

"What do you mean by slaughtering gods? Tell me, where is this place? How did they get down here? Who started this trouble first?!"

"Where were you, the God of Law Enforcement, when those people I killed secretly descended to the mortal realm, violating the rules of the divine realm?! Where were you, the God of Law Enforcement, when they threatened to slaughter all living beings on the continent?! Tell me, what have you, the God of Law Enforcement, been doing all this time since they descended to the mortal realm?!"

The God of Destruction's face turned ashen, but he didn't know how to refute it.

He hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to know so much about the God Realm, which rendered all his prepared arguments futile.

Huo Yuhao didn't expect his answer at all and gave his own.

"Unfortunately, you didn't do anything from beginning to end."

"As the god of law enforcement, you watched them descend to the mortal realm, allowing them to run rampant and commit crimes that would condemn them to long prison sentences. Then you came out and pretended to uphold justice, preparing to arrest them and imprison them so that they could no longer threaten your position."

"Not only that, but now you come before me and use a bunch of high-sounding words to question me, saying that I shouldn't have killed so many gods?"

At this point, Huo Yuhao paused, his gaze slowly sweeping over the people around the God of Destruction, finally settling on the God of Destruction himself.

"Because of your foolish plan, my companions and I, and even this plane of existence, were almost destroyed. You should be grateful that I'm not holding your inaction against you now, yet you come to blame me?"

"You dare to challenge me?!"

"That's enough!"

The sudden roar drowned out Huo Yuhao's questioning. Noticing the complicated gazes of his subordinates, the God of Destruction's face showed a hint of anger.

"I only gave you a chance to repent because you were unaware of the rules of the divine realm, but I never expected you to be so stubborn!"

"They have indeed committed an unforgivable crime, and I will decide on that matter when I return. But that does not absolve you of the guilt for wantonly slaughtering the gods and stripping them of their divine positions!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's gradually cooling gaze, he seemed to have finally regained control of the situation, his expression softened a bit, and he spoke with a firm tone.

"If I'm not mistaken, a large part of your power comes from other divine officials. I don't know how you did it, but this is also a violation of the rules of the divine realm, an act of unauthorized interference in the mortal world! Including the Silver Dragon King, all of you present here must return to await the judgment of the divine realm committee, just like Tang San!"

Huo Yuhao didn't speak, but just gazed at the God of Destruction from afar, then raised his head and arrogantly exposed his neck.

"There's no need for a trial. My head is right here, my neck is right here. I just don't know if you have the ability to take it."

"furious!"

He casually shoved Tang San into the hands of the God of Arrogance, and the God of Destruction roared, his aura suddenly intensifying as he unleashed it upon Huo Yuhao without reservation.

"I'd like to see what gives you the right to spout such nonsense in front of me!"

Just as the two were about to start fighting, the God of Arrogance and the others were about to lead Tang San, Tang Hao and the others to a safe distance when they saw a familiar dark blue light suddenly emanate from Huo Yuhao.

Immediately afterward, under their astonished gazes, Huo Yuhao's aura began to rise rapidly.

"God of Arrogance, is that your Nine Heavens of Unrivaled Pride?"

From the silence, a voice rang out, pulling the god of pride back from his shock.

He subconsciously opened his mouth as if to say something, but after stammering for a long time, he could only nod blankly.

"It is indeed somewhat similar to my ability. Strange, this isn't an ability that can be acquired casually."

"I also discovered some abilities stemming from lust in him."

The god of lust couldn't help but agree: "He possesses an attraction similar to mine."

"This is really strange. We haven't looked for an heir! Where did he get these original sin abilities? Why don't you go ask him later, Lust?"

Why do you want me to go?

"Don't tell me you didn't sense it. Of the seven deadly sins, that guy has the strongest aura of lust."

"This only shows that people in the lower realms are generally more lustful. Look at the patterns on that weapon, isn't that the power of jealousy?"

"Hiss, how come all of this guy's abilities are our trump cards? Confess honestly, have you been secretly allocating resources to this guy?"

"Hmph, don't forget you're one of them too. So, are we just going to stand by and watch? Aren't we going to help?"

"Whom should we help?"

"Of course, I'll help Lord Destruction. But, it's rare to encounter something so miraculous. I don't really want to fight that kid. Let's just wait and see."

Just as the original sin gods were engaged in a heated discussion, Huo Yuhao, under pressure from the God of Destruction, took out the Living Sword, which had transformed into a giant sword.

However, unlike before, because the life energy contained within it was completely absorbed by Huo Yuhao, the originally vibrant green part now seems to be covered by a filter, giving people a hazy feeling.

Fortunately, the brilliant gold part representing the characteristics of the Golden Dragon Lance, as well as the dark pink pattern representing the source of jealousy, are still preserved, and this phenomenon is not insurmountable.

With the characteristics of the Golden Dragon Spear, Huo Yuhao only needs to plunder some of his opponents' life force during future battles to replenish the Life Sword's depletion. Before long, the Life Greatsword will be restored to its previous vibrant state.

As his cultivation reached its peak under the blessing of the source of arrogance, he seemed completely unaware of the oppressive aura, and whispered instructions to Gu Yuena and the others beside him.

"You all step back a bit."

"Can you manage on your own?"

Rong Nianbing looked up at the God of Destruction with some apprehension.

"Although they are both God Kings, Destruction is many years older than Tang San, so his strength must be much greater."

"I know."

Huo Yuhao smiled casually, "You might not believe it, but I actually know his strength quite well."

Rong Nianbing raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more. Like the others, she quietly retreated to a safe distance from being affected immediately.

Looking at Gu Yuena again, Huo Yuhao noticed that she and Qiu'er had exited the Spirit Fusion Technique state, and she was still holding the Silver Dragon Spear, which had been summoned back to her side at some point and was now broken into two pieces.

Is there any chance of repair?

"have no idea."

Gu Yuena shook her head, her eyes showing little regret: "Perhaps when I become the Dragon God, I can restore it to its original state."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao subconsciously recalled his past life, thinking of the golden cocoon in the God Realm that was formed by the Golden Dragon King, and he spoke softly.

That day isn't too far away.

Watching the two leave the battlefield, Huo Yuhao then looked at the God of Destruction, who had stood proudly in the void from beginning to end, never stopping his actions in the slightest.

"Ready?"

As if he wasn't worried at all about others running away, nor about his own failure, he raised his hand and summoned the Destruction Scepter, whose quality was comparable to the Asura Demon Sword. He looked down at Huo Yuhao with undisguised confidence in his eyes.

"Or should I give you a little more time?"

"Yes, it's ready."

Huo Yuhao nodded and summoned the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings on his back. Immediately afterward, his heart clenched again, and his entire demeanor changed along with the sudden shift in color from green to purple on his chest.

His heart pounded like never before, like a high-pressure water pump sending blood containing destructive power to every part of his body. The terrifying pressure that erupted in an instant even made his body emit a sound similar to the sound of ocean waves.

The purple demonic patterns, exuding an aura of destruction, replaced the original green patterns. Unlike the unique aura that made people want to get close to him just before, Huo Yuhao now gave people a chilling sense of madness and ferocity simply by standing there.

But that wasn't all. As a deep purple energy flowed down his spine and into the Icefire Dragon Wings, the pair of external soul bones, whose quality was comparable to divine artifacts, unexpectedly burst into purple flames.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the seemingly dreamlike wing membrane was completely burned away by the flames, and the remaining skeleton seemed to have suddenly undergone some kind of strange mutation, and began to proliferate and mutate like twisted thorns.

Seemingly experiencing this for the first time, the intense pain caused Huo Yuhao to hunch over, and a suppressed sound of agony escaped his throat.

And so, amidst destruction and suffering, they were reborn.

When he recovered from the sudden, intense pain, his original ice and fire dragon wings were completely unrecognizable, and no trace of ice and fire power could be seen.

If I had to describe it, the wings now resemble a mast that has lost its sails; the wing membranes have completely disappeared, leaving only a gigantic skeleton that is extremely grotesque and covered with sharp spikes.

Those were a pair of purple bone wings.

"Huff... huff..."

Huo Yuhao, panting, looked up and met the God of Destruction's shocked gaze. A cruel smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Time waits for no one, let's...begin!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he appeared before the God of Destruction and brought his greatsword down.

So fast!

The God of Destruction's pupils shrank suddenly.

Based on the rumors that Huo Yuhao was comparable to a first-level god, he had already overestimated the opponent's strength as much as possible.

But when the moment of actual combat arrived, he discovered that this guy's strength still exceeded his expectations.

Instinctively raising his scepter to defend himself, the God of Destruction felt a tremendous force strike him. Before he could react, he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground.

boom! ! !

The earth shook violently.

A single, probing attack altered the mountain's topography, creating a massive crater hundreds of meters in diameter.

Having rebuilt his heart and completed the Soul Ring of the Judgement, Huo Yuhao seems to have gained a lot this time, but the biggest improvement is in his physical fitness.

After all, during the process of re-integrating the heart, the creative and destructive forces contained within it, just like the Ice and Fire Refining Golden Body before, underwent a comprehensive transformation of his body.

Such terrifying treatment is unheard of, not only in the lower realms but even in the entire divine realm.

Huo Yuhao didn't know exactly what level his physical abilities had reached, but judging from his performance, he was clearly superior to the God of Destruction after activating the Pride Source.

Of course, part of the reason is that the God of Destruction is not good at close combat, but even so, as the God King, his physical attributes are unmatched by those of the first-level gods.

Similarly, while Huo Yuhao's physical abilities might be slightly inferior to those of a freak like the Golden Dragon King, he is definitely one of the top beings in the God Realm.

"This...this is really a being from the lower realms?"

Upon seeing this, even the lazy god, who was used to squinting, instinctively widened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Could this guy be some kind of reincarnated god-king?"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. The God of Lust, who was standing nearby, seemed to have made a connection to something and suddenly shuddered.

"Perhaps you were right, Lazy. This guy has never been to the God Realm, but he knows the situation there very well. He even knows that the Lord and the Sea God are at odds. I suspect that he is probably a reincarnation of a powerful God King."

"Huh? But didn't Lord Destruction say that guy is the embodiment of the plane's will in this world? And this information you're talking about isn't exactly a secret in the divine realm. Could it be that Rong Nianbing and those other gods whose souls were controlled told him?"

"Then what about the power of original sin within him? How do you explain that?"

The God of Lust shook his head and countered, "If it's the will of a plane, the destructive power within him might be explainable as something acquired later, but what about his original sin? Where else could he have obtained that besides us? Don't tell me this plane possesses another power belonging to the Seven Deadly Sins."

"But even if what you say is true, doesn't that still not explain why he possesses original sin?"

The God of Arrogance frowned: "Besides, the several God-Kings of the Divine Realm are still alive. Which one could he be a reincarnation of? Could he be the previous God of Good or the God of Evil?"

"Those two have no idea that Lord Destruction and the Sea God are at odds. After all, before they left the God Realm, the God Realm Committee wasn't as tense as it is now, and from beginning to end, that guy wasn't surprised by Lord Destruction's actions."

After refuting the God of Pride, the God of Lust took a deep breath and slowly stated his deduction.

"That's what I wanted to say. He might not be any of the god-kings we know. Since he's a reincarnation, let's think about it more broadly: what if he's a god who returned to this era from the future?"

"."

silence.

Everyone was taken aback by the audacious idea of ​​the god of lust.

It wasn't until quite a while later that someone asked in a dry voice.

"Is this really possible?"

"The world is vast and full of wonders. I think only this can explain the mysteries surrounding him, because he would only react this way if he had witnessed the Destroyer's actions in the future."

"So, those original sins he carried were passed down to him by us in the future?"

The God of Sloth was silent for a moment, then his voice was complex: "Have we betrayed Lord Destruction?"

It's unbelievable that Huo Yuhao and the God of Destruction didn't seem to have a good relationship, yet they gave their power to each other in the future.

As for whether Huo Yuhao stole it?

If he only carried the aura of one or two original sins, that would indeed be possible, but the problem is that he carries the aura of all of their original sins.

Even a god-king couldn't possibly steal seven at once.

Even if you really can't beat the other party, you should at least be able to self-destruct before being robbed, right?

"There's no point in worrying about that now. Let's focus on the battle at hand."

Upon hearing the reminder from the God of Lust, everyone's attention returned to the battlefield.

The God of Destruction, who had just been knocked to the ground, had risen back into the sky. His wide robes were covered in dust, making him look utterly disheveled.

Above his head, deep, thick purple clouds were constantly gathering and surging, with flashes of purple lightning appearing from time to time.

Unable to maintain his composure any longer, his eyes seemed to spit fire as he roared in fury.

"I want you dead!"
