Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1164 The Prototype of Divine Gear (6K)

According to these two people's deductions, to become a god at level 100 in Douluo Continent, having all six soul bones is the most basic requirement, as this is the foundation for divine equipment.

To create divine equipment, the age of the soul bone should naturally be as high as possible, and it probably cannot be lower than ten thousand years.

For example, Tang San's head spirit bone was formed from a 50,000-year-old wisdom, and the Sea God Douluo's helmet was made from a 30,000-year-old head spirit bone.

Below this age limit, even with abundant divine power, one cannot transform a soul bone into divine equipment; limited by one's foundation, one has reached the limit.

As long as one possesses six ten-thousand-year-level soul bones, and one's cultivation and physical body have both broken through the hundred-level shackles, and one receives divine power infusion, one can condense one's own unique divine equipment.

The previous few checkpoints were not a concern for Elder Qian and Elder Yi. The key issue was the divine power infusion. Given Huo Yuhao's current status, where could he find divine power infusion?

This was the source of the two elders' worries, but they never expected that Huo Yuhao's torso bones and spinal appendages, after absorbing the essence of the Eight Spider appendages, would break free of the restraints on their own before Huo Yuhao did, and would irrationally condense towards the divine armor on their own!

No, it's a bit premature to say that Huo Yuhao's external spinal bones have reached the critical point of divine armor condensation. The twelve bone clusters on his spine clearly still need a large amount of the essence of external soul bones to completely complete their transformation.

Only Huo Yuhao's torso was truly one step away from becoming a divine artifact. After absorbing that essence, even if it was only a small part, it finally broke through the barrier and began to transform into the prototype of a divine artifact.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that although the plate armor on his back was the same thickness as the armor in front of him, it was much more solid. This was probably because he was different from ordinary people and had the advantage of having two vertebrae.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's chest armor appeared extremely imposing. The thick breastplate, the jewel-like waist armor, and the shimmering, flared battle skirt were all dazzlingly beautiful.

The golden scales of the torso armor emitted a faint emerald green glow, while the base of the scales was pure white, making the entire torso armor, which was predominantly golden, look absolutely stunning.

Huo Yuhao knew that this emerald green and pure white background was precisely where the brilliance of the Ice and Snow Emperors lay!

Behind the entire torso armor, twenty-four external vertebrae resembled twenty-four dazzling, alien gemstones, inlaid at the center line of Huo Yuhao's torso armor, emitting a faint yellowish-green glow. Although the twelve bone clusters looked somewhat abrupt, they also possessed a certain symmetrical beauty.

Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew his soul power, and the golden torso armor also slowly disappeared, but a few doubts arose in his heart.

Ah Yin's strange intervention goes without saying, and the eight spiders that had become sentient were far from being level 100.

How to put it? The skill level is like that of a peerless martial arts master from ten thousand years ago—it couldn't be any higher.

Although the eight steel-blade-like spider legs were incredibly powerful, and the Devouring Golden Silk technique alone caused Elder Xuan to suffer a loss, and when it ambushed him, it also left him in a sorry state.

However, his ability to perform in a straightforward manner was somewhat lacking, and he could not unleash the full potential of the Sea God Douluo with his divine equipment. At best, he was only a Limit Douluo with no soul core.

However, this was not the time to ponder these issues. Just as Huo Yuhao had made up his mind to leave the underground first and make further plans, a spiritual force carrying a hint of hope entered his ears.

"You are Wu Tong. No, you are the child Xiao Dong has taken a liking to, aren't you? That demonic spider has already fled far away. Can you keep this old woman company for a chat?"

Huo Yuhao was immediately shaken upon hearing these words.

This place is a thousand meters below the base of the ancient golden tree, so the owner of this voice could only be Ah Yin.

Why is it that not only does Ah Yin not hate me for my methods, but she also wants to see me?

"You're a good boy, so calm down. Even for Xiaodong's sake, shouldn't you let this old woman see you?"

Huo Yuhao hesitated for the first time, but A Yin acted first. The nearby roots rolled up the soil, pushed it aside and compacted it. In no time, a passage was built.

Huo Yuhao was even more shocked at this moment. The passage that Ah Yin had built for him led directly to the other party's heart.

Not only that, Ah Yin even moved all the huge roots that were wrapped around the heart, leaving a passage specifically for Huo Yuhao.

"Is that really Gintoki, senpai?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and walked towards Ah Yin's heart, following the path Ah Yin had dug for him, and asked the question that concerned him most.

"A-Gin."

Ah Yin's voice was hesitant, as if she were lost in memories, and she spoke slowly after a long while.

"Yes, I am Ah Yin, the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor."

Ah Yin answered the question very slowly. Huo Yuhao was already close to Ah Yin's heart when he heard her finish answering the question.

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock."

Ah Yin's heartbeat was now becoming increasingly loud in Huo Yuhao's ears.

At the very center of the tree roots, there is an incredibly huge, heart-like structure formed by several enormous rootlets, shimmering with a pale blue light.

The thick root system tightens and the fine root system pumps, powerfully contracting and expanding this heart-like creation, which is the size of a small mountain, again and again.

On that heart, which resembled a mountain range, the aorta and the inferior and superior vena cava were actually composed of those thick, dark blue tree roots with golden veins.

The heart, which was originally entangled by layers of roots, now has a passageway large enough for a person to enter.

Huo Yuhao could almost feel the massive amount of life force pumped out by the blue heart with each contraction. Just approaching the vicinity of this heart, the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was already several times higher than that of the Sea God Pavilion.

Finally, Huo Yuhao stood before the heart in front of him.

Watching this heart-like creation contract and expand powerfully again and again, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but marvel at how such vibrant life force existed in the world.

Before Huo Yuhao, a phantom of blue and gold slowly condensed, transforming into the appearance of a woman.

The woman wore a long blue and gold dress that covered her entire body. Her noble and elegant temperament accentuated her otherworldly beauty, and her azure eyes were as flawless as blue crystals.

Her long, azure hair cascaded down her back. She was so beautiful, it was as if she were the very center of this world, breathtakingly beautiful, that everything else paled in comparison.

Huo Yuhao stared blankly at those deep blue eyes, which shared a similar rhythm with Wang Dong'er's large blue-pink eyes.
