Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 207 Heavenly Punishment from the Holy God of the Dead (Daily 10,000 words)

Huo Yuhao stared wide-eyed in disbelief. To prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by those with ulterior motives, Huo Yuhao had deliberately chosen to fly towards the sky first, but he never expected to see such a wonderful sight.

He had now passed through the thick clouds and ventured deep into the sky. The sky's color had deepened, the stars had begun to twinkle, and the sun had become even more dazzling.

He saw the stars before the sun had set in the evening?

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth in surprise. If it weren't for the golden light surrounding him, his mouth would have been twisted and his eyes would have been distorted by the cold wind.

"We can't fly any higher. Continuing to fly higher would consume too much energy."

"Okay, Mr. Thousand Years."

Huo Yuhao responded, but he couldn't help feeling shocked. The altitude at which Qian Daoliu was flying with Huo Yuhao was far higher than when he was riding the airship. The Star Dou Forest below had become indistinct, with only the prominent mountains and rivers clearly visible.

Turning his gaze around, the plains of the entire continent seemed to have become a slightly curved line. Huo Yuhao was certain that this was not an illusion. But why would the continent warp up after flying high enough?

Looking up at the intoxicating starry sky, the sky was not clear at this moment, perhaps because Huo Yuhao had not flown high enough. The stars in the sky appeared under a layer of faint white light, which was the unique color at the boundary between the sunlight and the deep starry sky.

"call"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and looked down at the scene before him. Shrek City had already disappeared from Huo Yuhao's sight, and only a corner of the Star Dou Forest remained, hidden in that strange arc.

He had arrived above the Star Luo Empire, but there was no sound around him. At this altitude, even flying soul beasts had disappeared, and the thin air was almost unsuitable for any life to survive.

Although Huo Yuhao couldn't see the specific scene below, everything beneath his feet had turned into a huge map. By simply following the map along the mountains and plains, Huo Yuhao had already found the location of Star Luo City.

"No need to fly any further. This position is perfect. Since you're not entirely confident, let me handle it. Both of them have made their moves. If I don't, wouldn't I just be sitting in your mental sea doing nothing?"

Just then, Electrolux spoke up, interrupting Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. His original plan was to lower himself to a height of 10,000 meters above the ground, then hold the meteorites given by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, move laterally for a distance to give the meteorites enough acceleration, and then aim and throw them down.

In this way, even if Huo Yuhao doesn't know Dai Huabin's exact location, he can raze the inner courtyard where Dai Huabin and the Duchess live to the ground in one go.

There were never many servants left in the Duke's mansion to serve the mother and son. Among them were Dai Shiliu and others who had repeatedly made things difficult for them. Other servants were not qualified to serve in the inner courtyard on a regular basis.

None of these servants didn't want to miss an opportunity to kill the mother and son so they could curry favor with the Duchess. They were just afraid that when the Duke returned, the Duchess would use them as scapegoats, so they didn't actually do it. Huo Yuhao had no mercy for these people.

"Old Master Yi?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Electrolux was planning to do.

"Yuhao, have you always believed that an absolute alibi requires you to appear in front of everyone within a certain number of minutes after the deceased's death to be considered a perfect alibi?"

Huo Yuhao was a little confused by Electrolux's words, but he nodded nonetheless.

Then, Electrolux burst into hearty laughter: "You're so bound by worldly ideas. Isn't it possible that the person you want to kill hasn't even died yet, but you've already appeared before everyone, and then, not long after, news of their death arrives silently?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled. Of course he could understand what Electrolux meant, but he didn't know how to be in two places at once, so how could he do that?

"Relax your mental resistance, Yuhao. Today, I will show you, the Great Insect, and the Great Priest Qian how a true master of the rules can erase a person's life."

Electrolux's mental fluctuations arrived, and immediately Huo Yuhao's mental sea turned gray, offering no resistance. Huo Yuhao was now incredibly curious about what Electrolux would do.

A strange power flowed from Electrolux's gray sphere, slowly spreading throughout Huo Yuhao's body. The vertical pupil between Huo Yuhao's brows split open, and his three golden eyes transformed into pure gray at that moment—a gray filled with a sense of vicissitude, as if it could see through everything in the world.

Immediately afterwards, a gray spirit ring slowly rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet. As the gray spirit ring ascended, it created a series of afterimages, making it impossible to discern whether it was one or multiple rings.

"Hmm, it feels like I've been reborn. Yuhao, although I don't know why I killed so many people in my memories, I seem to have a deep-seated hatred in my heart, but now there is only peace."

"That's why I'm willing to help you this time. Only those who have erased the hatred in their hearts have the right to say they've let go. After helping you this time, Qian Daji, Da Chongzi, and I will all be in a deep sleep for a while. I hope that when we wake up again, you will be able to truly let go of the past."

As he spoke, Electrolux manipulated Huo Yuhao's body while taking out all the meteorite fragments from Huo Yuhao's storage soul tool.

"It's too much of a coincidence that only one meteorite hit the White Tiger Duke's mansion. We can't be so careless next time."

Electrolux said something reproachfully, then flicked the smallest meteorite with a finger-picking gesture. The next moment, the meteorite's trajectory seemed to change slightly, and it was flicked away by Electrolux.

This effortless ease and perfection reminded Huo Yuhao of Guanyin's Tears in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's memories, and it seemed even more exquisite.

"This meteorite will strike a small tree outside Xingluo City in half an hour."

As he spoke, Electrolux flicked away the remaining meteorites.

"This meteorite is moving very fast and will burn up in the air. When it burns up, the sky will be dark, and the residents of Xingluo City will see a dazzling shooting star."

"This meteorite will coincidentally strike a statue in Star Luo City in ten minutes, but because it is also very fast, it will only create a small hole in the statue at most."

Finally, Electrolux reached out and pushed the meteorite that Huo Yuhao was holding forward, then gently pushed it with his palm, changing the meteorite's trajectory.

"This slowest-flying meteorite will trace a horizontal arc at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. Once its altitude drops to a critical point, its original horizontal trajectory will be pulled down rapidly by gravity, and finally—it will land precisely in the inner courtyard of the Duke's mansion."

Electrolux's tone was devoid of pride, as if he had done something insignificant.
