Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1151 The Fruit of the Blue Silver Mandala (6K)

As time went on, Ah Yin's soul fluctuations became increasingly apparent.

Soon, Huo Yuhao discovered something else amiss.

The other person's soul contains other souls.

Huo Yuhao was able to discover this because he had seen many souls of this type.

Whether it's Nana, the others in the Soul Palace, or Huo Yuhao himself, any Soul Master who has undergone the Spirit Transfer Ceremony will experience this special change in their soul due to signing a soul contract with another Soul Beast.

Just like within Huo Yuhao's soul, there are also several points of light, which are wisps of souls from his own soul, intertwined with his own.

But why does Ah Yin's soul also contain such a speck of light?

Surely Ah Yin herself couldn't have learned the art of soul contracts, could she?

Moreover, there were far too many points of light in the other party's soul. Looking at them densely packed, it was as if one were seeing a golden night sky!

Even a rough scan would reveal dozens of points of light hidden within Ah Yin's body.

Is it the soul of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master who was devoured in previous generations?

Huo Yuhao frowned. Something was wrong.

If these specks of light were truly the souls of the successive Shrek Sea God Pavilion Masters, they should have been completely devoured by Ah Yin over time.

Huo Yuhao possesses more than ten methods to completely annihilate a soul, so how could someone like Ah Yin not be able to do the same?

In other words, these dozens of points of light hidden within Ah Yin's body are other souls?

Huo Yuhao became increasingly confused.

Soon, Ah Yin's massive body began to move again. Golden threads sprouted from its huge root system, breaking through layers of soil and drilling upwards.

From Huo Yuhao's perspective, thousands of golden threads simultaneously burst from the ground, shooting straight towards the sky, a sight that was both spectacular and eerie.

Soon, one of the golden threads touched the main body of the ancient golden tree, which was riddled with holes and somewhat rotten roots that had been sucked away.

The golden threads pierced into the decaying root system almost without any obstruction.

Soon, a barely perceptible but undeniably present surge of vital energy was forcibly extracted from the decaying root system of the Golden Ancient Tree and channeled into Ah Yin's massive body.

With the injection of this vital energy, the golden threads that were originally growing on the roots of the ancient golden tree began to pulsate. Streams of pure power flowed through hundreds of thousands of golden threads into Ah Yin's massive body.

The thousands of golden threads that had just sprouted soon pierced into the roots of the ancient golden tree, also beginning to extract energy.

The next moment, an even more sorrowful wave rippled through Ah Yin's soul, seemingly carrying a hint of sobbing and a deep sense of remorse.

The intense emotional fluctuations even affected Huo Yuhao's mental body, causing his mood to plummet.

Before Huo Yuhao could even figure out what was happening, brown spores condensed on the thousands of newly sprouted golden threads and flowed upstream along the golden threads toward the roots of the ancient golden tree.

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened slightly. That was... parasite?

Huo Yuhao was familiar with the shape of the spore because it was Tang Ya's second soul skill, the parasitism of Blue Silver Grass.

This soul skill is usually activated in combination with Tang Ya's first Blue Silver Entanglement or third Soul Skill, Sand Serpent Net, to restrict the enemy's movements while silently sprinkling spores on the enemy's body.

As long as soul power is injected to activate the second soul skill, Parasitism, the spores sprinkled on the enemy will suddenly burst into thin strands of blue silver grass, binding the enemy like a dumpling.

Although the Blue Silver Grass's control effect is far less resilient than the Salamander Web, it has the advantage of being activated without warning, allowing it to be used at will.

If Huo Yuhao remembers correctly, Tang San's second soul skill is also this soul skill.

Because of this soul skill, he is invincible in one-on-one soul battles, unless he encounters a top-tier offensive soul master who can forcibly tear apart Blue Silver Grass.

Just as Huo Yuhao was pondering, the brown spores had already been sent into the root system of the golden ancient tree.

The next moment, spores exploded in the roots of the ancient golden tree, sprouting slender vines that burrowed into the tree's flesh.

At the same time, within Huo Yuhao's mental detection network, the Golden Ancient Tree's emotions also fluctuated for a moment, as if it were in extreme pain.

These spores are far more powerful than those golden threads. After bursting open, they pierce into the roots of the ancient golden tree and begin to devour its power.

Huo Yuhao watched as, in just a few breaths, the vine that burst forth from one of the parasitic seeds drained the root system, which was about the thickness of a finger, until it withered.

The roots, after being sucked dry, were pitted and uneven, looking as rough and worn as the weathered plaster of an ancient city wall that had been weathered for thousands of years.

Huo Yuhao also gasped in astonishment. This was the Golden Ancient Tree. The abundance of power within it was so great that it was no exaggeration to say that it contained mountains of gold and silver.

If any other being were alive and subjected to this kind of absorption, even a Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to withstand such torment!

In just a few minutes, the parasitic vines had absorbed enough energy, and a small blue-gold flower bloomed in the center of several thin vines.

In just a few minutes, the vines and flowers withered simultaneously, and blue-gold fruits were condensed, falling down with a soft thud and landing on Ah Yin's body. Pure power surged up and merged into Ah Yin's body.

Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine. Such a terrifying devouring method was both bizarre and terrifying to the extreme. No wonder the Golden Ancient Tree was helpless!

While devouring the roots of the Golden Ancient Tree for personal gain, they also gradually wear down the roots of the Golden Ancient Tree, preventing it from drawing new power from the earth to repair itself.

Such vicious methods are no less than biting the hand that feeds you.

With a thought, Huo Yuhao waved his right hand, tearing open a spatial rift. He reached out and grabbed a blue-gold fruit, which appeared in his hand.

Frowning, Huo Yuhao crushed the blue-gold fruit in one swift motion, and immediately felt an extremely pure power, almost requiring no refinement, surge into his body.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat astonished. The power contained within this blue-gold fruit was probably no less than the total soul power of a level three milk bottle.

Moreover, these blue-gold fruits possess extremely pure power after bursting open, capable of almost instantly restoring the user's soul power. This was the first time Huo Yuhao had ever seen such an astonishing fruit.
