Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 437 The Holy Spirit found a sublime outlet in the miracle of analysis (Daily Man)

After activating the Moon Concealment and erasing his own aura, Huo Yuhao began chanting obscure and profound magical incantations.

He extended his right index finger and quickly sketched strange-looking runes in the air to help construct spatial magic.

Although Huo Yuhao had tried a few times with the help of Electrolux, he had never actually tried to open the Gate of the Dead while inside the academy.

This time, however, Huo Yuhao will actually enter this land of the dead. At the same time, Electrolux will not help Huo Yuhao with auxiliary spellcasting; everything will depend on Huo Yuhao's own performance.

How do I enter the Gate of the Dead?

Aside from the permissions, or rather the 'key,' granted by Electrolux, Huo Yuhao had to figure out the rest on his own.

The first thing to learn is the concepts of vectors and imaginary numbers in mathematics.

Electrolux taught Huo Yuhao the importance of imaginary numbers in this way.

[The Holy Spirit found a sublime exit in the miracle of analysis: the sign of the ideal world, the amphibian between existence and non-existence, which we call the void root of negative one.]

Just as some numbers do not exist within the realm of real numbers, many spaces do not exist in actual space. We call those non-existent numbers imaginary numbers, and the same applies to my Gate of the Dead.

To find the location of the Gate of the Dead, one cannot rely solely on techniques from the realm of real numbers; one must separate algebra and geometry and venture into the realm of imaginary numbers.

If, on a number line, multiplying a number by negative one results in its negative form on the other side of the line, we consider this a rotation of 180 degrees on the other side of the line. Therefore, if we break down negative one into the product of two negative one's, the rotation becomes two 90-degree rotations.

Yes, child, by rotating a number ninety degrees on a number line, you truly enter the realm of imaginary numbers. Once you understand this, you'll know how to find the Gate of the Dead.

Electrolux's lectures were obscure, but fortunately Huo Yuhao quickly understood them all, and following this concept, he finally sensed the Gate of the Dead that did not exist in the main world.

Layer upon layer of materialized magical runes appeared in mid-air, looking incredibly mysterious.

After carefully checking that there were no problems with the magic array he had constructed, Huo Yuhao reached out and summoned it.

A large number of magical runes instantly turned transparent and coalesced in his hand into a strange gray six-pointed star.

With a backhand slap, the spatial teleportation array created by hand was activated as spiritual and soul power were transferred, emitting a strange glow.

As the light quickly enveloped Huo Yuhao's body, he disappeared from the room.

A slightly familiar dizziness came over him, and everything around him was distorting, as if it was about to tear his body apart.

Immediately afterwards, a silver light flashed across Huo Yuhao's body, instantly reducing the tearing sensation to almost nothing.

The silver glow is a constant protective measure of the spatial teleportation magic, ensuring that Huo Yuhao will not be affected during spatial travel.

Just a few seconds later, Huo Yuhao felt his body relax and his feet were once again firmly planted on the ground.

Beneath his feet, a gray magic circle slowly disappeared.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and, after his eyes adjusted to the dark environment, slowly walked towards the black hillside in the distance.

A quiet, dark breeze swept by, bringing a refreshing coolness.

This is a dimly lit world.

The terrain here is undulating, and as far as the eye can see, it is barren, devoid of any vegetation; the earth is all black, like mud stained with ink. A chilling aura emanates from all directions.

A strange sun hung in the sky, its entire body a purplish-black color, surrounded by an eerie purple halo.

In fact, it was not a sun at all, but a massive crystal formed outside the core array of this demiplane, where dense death energy continuously drifted upwards and had become so dense that it had materialized.

With just a little refinement, one can easily extract incredibly pure crystals of soul power from it.

This round of purple sun continuously spread the power of death and soul energy to every part of this demiplane, turning the entire plane's land into an ink-black color, exuding a chilling aura.

These soils nurture undead creatures, which in turn continuously emit death energy that merges with the purple sun above. Guided by the magic array, the purple sun attracts energy from the void to replenish itself and merges with the death energy to create soul energy. In this way, the three form a constantly reinforcing cycle.

Every inch of this black soil contains an immense amount of death energy, making it an ideal breeding ground for immortal creatures.

This ubiquitous black soil is known as the Soil of Death in many planes; a small handful is worth a fortune and can even incite wars between necromancers.

This is not only because just a small amount is enough to ensure that undead creatures do not lose levels over a long period of time, but also because only a cemetery that has buried enough corpses can produce such a tiny amount over thousands of years, which shows how rare it is.

Beneath Huo Yuhao's feet lies this kind of thing.

Over thousands of years of continuous cycles, the soil of the entire demiplane has completely transformed into the Land of Death, nurturing countless undead creatures.

This is the armory of the Necromancer Saint, the Undead Scourge, Elex, and the final resting place of his last royal guard.

For thousands of years, this last elite force has slumbered here, waiting for the day when the gates of the dead will reopen, allowing them to return to the material plane and spread the fame and glory of the Necromancer God.

"It's still too slow. It took a full thirty seconds to draw the spatial teleportation array. If this were during a battle, you would have died countless times by now."

As the aged voice echoed, the phantom of Electrox's upper body slowly condensed in the air, though it appeared slightly dim.

Thanks to the extremely dense death energy here, Electrox's consciousness was able to briefly appear outside Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness without worrying about dissipating.

"Old Yi, you can't blame me for this. I was really afraid that I made a mistake with the anchor point when adjusting the vector. If I didn't find the Gate of the Dead, I might have a chance to survive if I went to another subspace. But if I went headfirst into a no man's land with only spatial turbulence, even the power of resurrection wouldn't be able to save me."

Huo Yuhao was a little embarrassed and explained with a flushed face.
