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

Chapter 449 Revenge

Douluo Continent.

In a desolate mountain range, suppressed groans of pain emanated from a cave that appeared to have been carved out by human hands.

Looking into the dimly lit cave, one could see Tang San, who had disappeared from the mainland for many years, inside, panting heavily.

What's troubling is that crimson blood keeps dripping from his body, and the ground beneath his feet seems to have been soaked in blood countless times and then dried up again, with the soil turning a strange reddish-brown.

Since leaving the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he came here and has been hiding ever since.

As he had initially anticipated, the entire process of possession went very smoothly. Facing the God King Tang San, who offered no resistance, he took over Tang San's body with almost no effort.

As for why he has never been born and why he suffered such severe injuries, it is entirely because he has been trying to merge the power left behind by Ji Dong and Lie Yan after their deaths for the past few years.

After the great war between the dragon gods, the five great god kings of the divine realm created the peerless killing move, the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms. Logically speaking, the power of the three should be able to be fused to some extent.

But over the years, no matter what methods he tried, he was unable to integrate these two forces into his body, and the end result was always that he ended up with injuries all over his body.

He knew very well that God King Tang San was dead, and what followed was a battle between himself and Huo Yuhao.

Although it's unknown what level of strength that guy has reached now, judging from the power he displayed after absorbing the origins of the seven original sins in his previous life, it's clear that the power of the Asura God alone is insufficient to support him in achieving final victory.

If the opponent were someone else, he might not be too worried. After all, once the power of the Seven Deadly Sins is fully unleashed, the host will also die on the spot. But Huo Yuhao is different. This kid is really reckless when he goes crazy!

Having finally been reborn, he didn't want to be dragged down with the other party and perish together again.

This time, he's going to win!

He wants to win completely!

As his gaze hardened once more, eight blood-red spider spears suddenly shot out from Tang San's back, piercing into the bodies of several soul beasts that had already fainted beside him.

Just then, he suddenly felt himself being locked onto by a somewhat familiar divine sense. Before he could react, a very gentle voice echoed in his mind.

"Tang San".

As if the voice had stirred up long-dormant memories, Tang San trembled and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"The God of Kindness?"

"It is I. I am currently in the void outside this lower plane, speaking to you through divine consciousness with the God of Evil."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to realize that he wasn't the original God King Tang San, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. Suppressing his panic, he asked in a seemingly calm manner.

"How did you all suddenly appear here?"

"It didn't happen suddenly."

The God of Kindness said, "Several years ago, we sensed that our two heirs seemed to have encountered some misfortune. We were worried that the divine realm was facing an insurmountable crisis, so we followed our senses and came here. We never expected to find you here."

As the words fell, another unsettling, sinister voice rang out: "Tang San, what exactly happened in the God Realm? Why are Ji Dong and Lie Yan's origins in your hands?"

I don't know!

Who knows what exactly happened in the realm of gods?

Tang San inwardly grumbled.

He was quietly healing his injuries at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well when the critically injured God King Tang San suddenly appeared, claiming he would be his scapegoat.

That's not all. The most ridiculous thing is that this guy was so stupid that he ended up dying from his recklessness, which really refreshed his understanding of the world.

However, this dilemma only lasted for a brief moment before Tang San seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Yup!

Wasn't he just worried about not being able to deal with Huo Yuhao?

And just like that, a ready-made helper has been delivered right to our door!

Since the two first-generation god-kings, like him, knew nothing about the situation in the god realm, he could say whatever he wanted.

You must know that these are two first-generation God Kings, powerful beings who are on par with the first-generation Asura God, and even stronger in cultivation. With their help, no matter how strong Huo Yuhao is, he will never be a match for the three of them!

This time, he truly had the opportunity to contend with Huo Yuhao, no, to completely annihilate him!

An indescribable hatred welled up in his heart, but a heavy expression visibly appeared on Tang San's face.

As if recalling some painful and unbearable past, he closed his eyes in anguish and opened his mouth, choking back sobs.

"Here's what happened."

"Yuhao, Yuhao?"

"what?"

Hearing the calls coming from beside him, Huo Yuhao swayed as if waking from a dream.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing him like this, Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance and asked with some concern.

"What happened to you just now?"

"Uh, it's nothing, I just suddenly sensed something interesting."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand: "Business comes first. Let's take care of your situation first."

He chuckled and moved on from the topic, then took out a bright red seed and handed it to Qiu'er.

"Gu Yi should have already explained the situation to you two briefly. Here, take it."

"..."

Although she was somewhat puzzled by Huo Yuhao's attempt to change the subject, Qiu'er was still inevitably drawn to the seed.

However, the moment she sensed the aura emanating from the seed, her expression became subtle.

"You intend for me to inherit the title of God of Asura?"

"yes."

Huo Yuhao nodded honestly: "Is there a problem?"

"It's not a particularly big problem, it's just that I feel it's a bit strange that I inherited the Asura God given that I have the bloodline of the Golden Dragon."

Qiu'er was speechless for a moment, and after stammering for a long time, she finally managed to squeeze out another question.

"Are you sure this position is right for me?"

"Do you really think there's any other divine position that would suit you?"

Huo Yuhao countered with a question, and seeing that the other party stammered and couldn't answer, he continued to explain.

"I've already considered this. With your Golden Dragon bloodline, your physical attributes are already among the top in your class, so there's no need to deliberately pursue improvement in that area. In this case, the Asura God, with his powerful killing abilities, is more suitable for you."

This is like a long sword. Although its sharpness is the same no matter who holds it, it does not mean that it can exert the same power in everyone's hands.

Between a thin man and a strong man, the latter is undoubtedly more lethal when wielding a long sword.

Qiu'er is undoubtedly the latter of the latter.

Similarly, once a person's physical abilities have reached a certain level, it's better to equip themselves with a powerful weapon rather than continuing to delve deeper into that area.

"Moreover, of the remaining three God-King positions, only the Asura God can barely be classified as a melee fighter."

At this point, Huo Yuhao shrugged: "You didn't have a choice at all."

"Okay, you've convinced me."

Qiu'er, who was usually indifferent, rarely showed a helpless expression. Although she felt a little resistant because of her own bloodline, she had to admit that what Huo Yuhao said made sense.

Reaching out to take the Seed of Divinity, she seemed to suddenly remember something and continued to ask questions.

"What about the Asura Demon Sword?"

Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously and said in a meaningful tone, "I will give it to you once you have officially inherited the divine position."

Perhaps it was because Tang San, the God King, entered the plane of the dead so suddenly that he killed Tang San in a daze before Tang San could even put the artifact into his soul.

He had previously sent Ye Guyi down to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, mainly to retrieve that super artifact. However, plans don't always go as expected. Since Tang San's body was taken away, the matter of the Asura Demon Sword had to be temporarily put on hold.

But just now, he seemed to have sensed the target's presence again.

Without dwelling on the matter any longer, Huo Yuhao flipped his hand and, as if by magic, produced another white seed, then turned to look at Zhang Lexuan.

"Sister Lexuan, after some consideration, I believe you are more suited to the position of the God of Kindness. This is a seed of divinity; you can try absorbing and refining it."

"The God of Kindness?"

Zhang Lexuan reached out and took it. Although she didn't know much about the situation in the God Realm, nor did she understand why she was suitable for the position of a benevolent god, she didn't raise any objections out of trust in Huo Yuhao.

He pressed on, but in a somewhat joking tone.

"What, so in your eyes I'm still a kind older sister?"

"Ahem, that's about right."

Huo Yuhao unconsciously coughed twice. After some hesitation, he decided to swallow the fact that the first God of Kindness was the most cunning and perverted god-king in the divine realm.

Just kidding, if Sister Lexuan knew this, she'd probably find a new way to increase the intensity of his workout.

Qiu'er, who had gained his memories, had obviously thought of this as well. Her meaningful gaze made Huo Yuhao break out in a cold sweat.

"Without further ado, you two can go back and begin now."

As if sensing Huo Yuhao's deliberate attempt to change the subject, Qiu'er looked amused. Fortunately, she had no interest in secretly tattling, so she scoffed and turned to leave.

It has to be said that becoming a god is still very attractive to most people, even Zhang Lexuan and Qiu'er, who are relatively calm.

As if they couldn't wait, the two quickly disappeared from Huo Yuhao's sight.

"Hmm, I need to deal with this troublesome matter."

Withdrawing his gaze, Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned his head to look at the several illusory halos of light behind him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Having such a powerful divine position isn't necessarily a good thing; the amount of faith power required is simply enormous..."

His earlier statement that it would take several more days to fully condense the divine position was actually a very conservative estimate.

After all, he never expected that his ascension to godhood would be stuck at the stage of faith power.

When he was exploiting the Haotian Sect, he plundered nearly a quarter of the entire God Realm's reserves.

Considering how easily Tianmeng and the others became gods, he originally thought that this was enough for him to become a god as well. But when the moment actually came, he realized how outrageous it was to want to create a god-king position on his own.

Perhaps because his divine position is more powerful than that of ordinary god-kings, according to his perception, let alone a quarter, even if all the reserves of the central part of the god realm were taken out, it would only be barely enough for him to squander.

It should be noted that the reserves of faith power from the previous life could directly expand the area of ​​the divine realm more than three times its current size.

Such a massive amount of faith power was barely enough for him to become a god, which shows how exaggerated his divine position was.

Just like building a house, if you want to build a skyscraper from the ground up, you not only need a solid foundation, but also enough materials to build the skyscraper.

He already had enough for a solid foundation, but the materials...

Under normal circumstances, consuming all the reserves of the divine realm could indeed allow him to become a god-king.

However, the problem is that Tang San destroyed the central hub of the God Realm once. In the process, not only the mental barrier that covers the entire God Realm was affected, but also the power of faith contained in the central hub of the God Realm.

Although the God of Destruction took immediate remedial action, a considerable portion of the damage was still lost.

This resulted in the God Realm's existing reserves being insufficient for him to condense a godhood, leaving him stuck at the level of a demigod, or rather, a pseudo-god king.

However, even though his cultivation level has not yet reached the God King level, Huo Yuhao's current strength is beyond doubt.

Putting aside his newly acquired abilities, in terms of physical attributes alone, he has already surpassed the Golden Dragon King in every way.

If he were to fight the God of Destruction and Tang San again, even if he stood still and let the two of them fight, they would have to put in a lot of effort to barely break through his defenses.

Of course, the improvement in physical fitness was secondary. The biggest improvement Huo Yuhao made in this process was actually in his cultivation level.

Although he had the support of Tianmeng and others before, the cultivation of several soul spirits was still only that of a priest. Even if they were combined, they could only barely make him reach the level of a third-level god or a second-level god.

When facing opponents of similar level like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, he might be able to easily cope with them thanks to his rich combat experience and powerful skills. However, if he were to face an opponent like the God of Destruction, whose cultivation level was far inferior, he would inevitably be caught in a tough battle.

But now the situation is different. Having absorbed the evil thoughts of the Golden Dragon King that gathered the entire dragon race, his cultivation level can only be described as soaring to the sky.

This is especially evident in the divine soul, which has no realm limitations. Even though he is not a true god-king yet, the strength of his divine soul is absolutely unmatched.

Tang San couldn't do it, and neither could the First Asura God.

This is a level he had never reached, even after forcibly absorbing the seven deadly sins and igniting his own life in his previous life.

Seeing that he couldn't complete the process of condensing a divine position for the time being, Huo Yuhao simply stopped worrying about it and turned to look at the ancient tree of life that was supporting the condensed liquid of destruction.

He once mistakenly believed that, apart from Lieyan and Jidong, who only obtained godhood but were not passed down super artifacts, among the five god kings, only the Goddess of Life did not have her own super artifact.

However, he now realizes that he may have been wrong.

The Goddess of Life is not without divine artifacts; rather, her natal artifact is her very being, which is the ancient tree of life before her.

This is undoubtedly a terrifying thing. According to what Huo Yuhao knows, if the God Realm Central Hub is the control center that controls the God Realm, then the Ancient Tree of Life is the core that nourishes everything and spreads life.

Just like the heart and brain, they are equally important and equally indispensable.

It is precisely because it continuously converts the mental energy it absorbs into life energy that the divine realm is such a vibrant place.

"Let's go. Now that our target has been identified, it's time to continue our revenge."

Huo Yuhao summoned the Scythe of Sin and pointed it forward. The Ancient Tree of Life and the Condensed Liquid of Destruction instantly transformed into two slightly illusory balls of light, which then swayed and merged into the Scythe of Sin.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The long handle of the sickle was suddenly covered with vine-like wooden patterns, while the blade was engulfed in a purple flame that seemed to never go out.

In just a few seconds, the sickle seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

Refreshed.

After doing all this, Huo Yuhao chuckled, took a step, and simply ignored the impregnable spatial suppression of the God Realm, disappearing without a trace.
