Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1263 The Soul Master's Return to Soul Master, the Mortal's Return to Mortal (4K)

Huo Yuhao paid no attention to the despair in the eyes of the evil soul masters below.

He simply turned around and went back into the magic tower, looking at the huge Ammonite-Poseidon workstation.

Blood-red lines flew out from Huo Yuhao's palm, forming a formation resembling a giant bat in mid-air.

As Huo Yuhao channeled his soul power into the giant bat formation, the formation in mid-air began to emit streaks of bloody light.

If any evil spirit masters were present at this moment, they would surely be shocked to discover something.

The blood-red fluctuations emanating from the formation that Huo Yuhao drew in mid-air were exactly the same as the killing domain he himself released.

However, the blood-red patterns floating in mid-air soon began to break. Without any support, the array's routes alone could not operate continuously.

But Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry. He simply took out a large piece of rare metal and slowly began to carve it with a spirit carving knife.

In just over an incense stick's time, Huo Yuhao had already carved a core magic array the size of a human face.

If you look closely, you'll find that there's an identical bat image carved onto this core magic array.

The entire core array was placed directly on the core expansion dock of the Ammonite-Poseidon workstation.

The next moment, a violent burst of blood-red light shot into the sky, its coverage area far exceeding that of Huo Yuhao's killing domain, completely engulfing the entire Mingdu.

Huo Yuhao used his mental detection to sense the area and was immediately startled. He quickly reduced the range and set the magic-suppressing area to only include the imperial city and the inner city.

Now Huo Yuhao understood why the magic-suppressing effect of the Slaughter City back then was so good; the method used was probably similar to the one he was using now.

The sea god has his sea god pillar, the angel god has his angel god pillar, and clearly there was also a Rakshasa god pillar in the Rakshasa god's slaughter city back then.

The source of the continuous magic-suppressing effect for the entire Killing City back then was most likely the power of the Rakshasa Pillar hidden beneath Killing City.

The actions of Rakshasa God back then were roughly the same as what Huo Yuhao is doing now with the Ammonite-Poseidon workstation.

Now he's free, no longer needing to keep the Killing Domain active.

Huo Yuhao chuckled. The Killing Domain had taken a heavy toll on him, even with the support of the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores.

For an ordinary Limit Douluo, covering the entire imperial city and inner city with their own domain is a pipe dream.

Now I've truly become the Demon King.

If the evil spirit masters in the City of Slaughter want to end everything here.

They must rely on their physical strength and the soul bones within them to defeat the undead legion guarding the Demon Tower and destroy the core of the formation.

Only in this way can they regain the right to use Soul Rings and Soul Skills, instead of fighting like primitive people wielding their Martial Souls.

However, Huo Yuhao was quite skeptical as to whether these evil soul masters could actually do that.

After all, whether it's a killing domain he releases himself or one released under the control of the formation, it can be whitelisted.

The undead creatures guarding the Demon Tower include, but are not limited to, bone dragons, wailing banshees of the undead lord level, undead knights, liches, and golden bone flying zombies.

These guys are all at the title level, they can use their soul skills at will, and half of them can also use magic.

If any evil spirit masters manage to break into the Demon Tower, they won't be ordinary evil spirit masters. They'll have to unleash their full power and get ready to be dealt with by Long Xiaoyao.

Huo Yuhao would definitely not let Long Xiaoyao die easily; once he's dead, the debt is wiped clean.

It would be a real shame not to make good use of such a powerful Limit Douluo.

After Long Xiaoyao finished meeting with Elder Mu and catching up, Huo Yuhao planned to help him repair his foundation and recuperate. There was still hope that Long Xiaoyao's cultivation would return to the Limit Douluo level.

It would be perfect to place it in the Demon Tower to atone for one's sins. It would be even better if one could trick the other party into dying of old age and being transformed into an undead creature.

A level 99 Limit Douluo guarding the Demon Tower—if any evil soul master could destroy the core of the Slaughter Domain's formation, it could only be Tang Sanqian; there's no other possibility.

Nana was busy arranging for the staff of the Soul Palace.

While preparing for the battle royale show in the Killing City and the deathmatch in the Imperial City three days later, I made a good profit in each city.

Zhao Yang had already appeared inside the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Imperial City.

This is where Xu Tianran was imprisoned after the Orange Mutiny.

Xu Tianran seemed to be in a good mood at this moment, leisurely brewing hot tea. Just as Zhao Yang arrived, the tea was ready.

"I knew it, the only winners in the end could be you guys."

Xu Tianran was barefoot and walked towards Zhao Yang.

The prosthetic body made of rare metals clattered on the floor of the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Yang looked somewhat surprised; he had come at Huo Yuhao's behest.

Xu Tianran had many loyal eunuchs under his command, and even though he was in the Imperial Palace, he could still send out messages if he wanted to.

The other party wanted to meet with Huo Yuhao to discuss the matter, which was accomplished by a fearless eunuch who walked straight to the Demon Tower and asked a lich for permission to speak.

"You seem to have a very good understanding of the situation outside?"

Zhao Yang looked at Xu Tianran, a rare complex expression flashing across his stiff face.

After all, the main reason he turned into an undead was because of Xu Tianran.

If it weren't for the fact that the other side forced his father into rebellion in order to seize power within the royal family, he, as the son of a duke, would never have chosen to rebel.

If he hadn't chosen to rebel, he wouldn't have gone after Ju Zi, only to encounter Huo Yuhao and have his head chopped off by Huo Yuhao.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Tianran was the culprit who caused his family's ruin and death.

"The people below are just loyal."

Xu Tianran simply smiled indifferently at Zhao Yang's question, a hint of arrogance on his face.

"What about the oranges?"

Zhao Yang punctured Xu Tianran's last bit of arrogance with just one sentence.

Just as Zhao Yang had expected, Xu Tianran's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

The palace coup involving the orange was definitely the loudest slap in his face.

But soon, Xu Tianran laughed again: "So I killed all these traitors, using your hands."

"This is the price of betraying me. Whether it's Orange or the Holy Spirit Cult, they were all blinded by false power. I only used a little trick, and the Holy Spirit Cult rushed to capture you."

"In the end, you owe me a favor. If it weren't for me, it wouldn't have been so easy for you to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult."

At this point, Xu Tianran finally revealed his true intentions: "Is this favor enough to exchange for a life?"

"I still have many secrets. If you want to control the entire Sun Moon Empire, you will find it impossible to make any progress without my help."

Zhao Yang gently shook his head: "If the lord truly wanted to spare you, he wouldn't have sent me. Don't you understand that?"

Xu Tianran's pupils suddenly contracted.

Zhao Yang continued, "Our lord has no intention of becoming emperor. He has no need for your arrangements, your trump cards, or your long-hidden confidants."

"Our lord demands that Soul Masters return to their Soul Master status, and mortals return to their mortal status. This applies not only to the Sun Moon Empire, but to the entire Douluo Continent from now on."
