Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 438 The Undead Demiplane (Daily 10,000 words)

When it comes to teaching magic, the kind elder Elex instantly transforms into the strictest teacher, relentlessly urging him on.

"You're still not using it enough. Void Construct is the foundation of spellcasting. If you don't master it, how can you summon your undead army in an instant? How long would it take to rely solely on the Gate of the Dead? Do you know that necromancers are assassins' favorite targets?"

Electrox flicked his staff and spoke the most vicious words in the gentlest of tones.

"Practice more. You don't have any other tasks tonight, so practice void casting three hundred times. I haven't even asked you to change formations flexibly, just to activate a fixed spell. This slow speed won't do, absolutely won't do."

"If there comes a time when the old man doesn't have time to teach you, I'll just condense all the spells I know into a gray spirit ring and give it to you. You can use that thing to cast spells however you want, but that will stifle your talent for growth."

"You're still young, so train hard and don't slack off."

Electrolux strolled through his undead demiplane, casually interrupting Huo Yuhao's explanation.

During the conversation between the master and disciple, Huo Yuhao had already crossed the hillside that was their previous target.

Behind the hillside, large groups of white skeletons turned their heads in unison, numbering at least hundreds.

Within their eye sockets flickered a crimson flame of the soul.

Hundreds of skeletons turned around at the same time, the soul fire in their eye sockets flickering violently, creating large red halos in the air.

Just then, Qian Daoliu's figure gradually solidified and slowly floated out.

"Haha, big bug, little scorpion, I'll take my leave first. You two can figure out how to build your bodies in Yuhao's spiritual sea."

Qiandao burst into a smooth, rapid laugh.

Huo Yuhao looked helplessly at Qian Daoliu's smug expression. In his spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor were staring at a magic model that had been shaped into a lump of mud.

Clearly, although Electrolux didn't hold back, the two of them still have a long way to go before they can truly emerge from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea for a stroll.

"These little skeletons are all of the Light attribute? Tsk tsk tsk, that's really rare."

Qian Daoliu's form floated forward a distance, looking at the small skeletons all over the mountainside with some surprise.

These skeletons were clearly unable to speak, and even lacked any consciousness, possessing only the most basic instincts.

Even so, they could still recognize their master. After noticing Electrolux and Huo Yuhao behind Qian Daoliu, they opened and closed their jaws in unison, making a uniform "click".

Well, although quite a few of the little skeletons' jaws popped off with a thud, making it look a bit comical, overall it's still quite impressive.

Soon, Qian Daoliu floated back. Although he could temporarily escape Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness by relying on the method shared by Electrolux to temporarily condense his spiritual power into a physical form, he could not do so for too long, nor could he leave Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness too far away.

"I'll probably need to work on the big worm and the little scorpion for a while longer, but the Thousand Great Sacrifice is enough for now. During this time, I've pretty much reverse-analyzed the surface mechanism of that Asura God imprint, and it's time to move on to the next step of the plan."

Electrolux stepped forward, randomly picked up a small skeleton, took the soul fire from its head, and tossed it aside. The skeleton immediately shattered into pieces on the ground.

The wisp of soul fire skipped away. The Gate of the Dead lacked everything except bones; it went to find a new body for itself.

"I say, Old Yi, turning me, a high priest of the Spirit Hall, into a skeleton soldier, you really have a way of thinking."

Qian Daoliu looked indignant, strongly suspecting that this guy was transferring his own feelings of resentment towards the Holy See onto himself.

Electrolux chuckled. Was his little scheme so obvious that Qian Daoliu had noticed it? He had no chance of turning the leader of the Radiant Church into an undead creature, but turning the High Priest of the Spirit Hall into an undead creature seemed pretty exciting.

"Alright, hurry up and go in. I'll let you be a skeleton soldier to assist with the experiment for a while. Besides, you've been dead for over ten thousand years, why do you care about this?"

Electrolux waved his scepter, and the shattered bone fragments floated up and reassembled into a complete human skeleton. Some small bones that were not yet complete, such as the radius, nasal bone, and sphenoid bone, were also taken from other skeleton soldiers by Electrolux and stuffed into this skeleton.

"Yuhao, the knife."

Electrolux reached out, and Huo Yuhao tapped his brow, took out the Blade of Life, and handed it to Electrolux.

A rich life force was drawn from the Life-Carving Knife by Electrolux and injected into the bones of the small skeleton in front of him. For a moment, Huo Yuhao even felt as if the skeleton had come to life.

Qian Daoliu's figure flashed, and he actively merged with the small skeleton, using his spiritual power to resonate with the skeleton that had already transformed into an undead, and quickly took temporary control of the skeletal body.

However, Qian Daoliu looks somewhat frightening now. Although his semi-transparent form is still there, a skeletal skeleton can be seen through it. How should I put it?

What an eerie high priest!

However, Huo Yuhao quickly and considerately helped Qian Daoliu solve this small problem. He activated his highly skilled mimicry ability, hiding the skeleton inside Qian Daoliu's body, making the originally illusory form look much fuller.

Qian Daoliu raised his palm, looking at the delicate lines on his palm, and couldn't help but sigh.

For a fleeting moment, I even thought I had truly come back to life.

Yes, if you don't look closely, you can feel the strong aura of light and the rich vitality emanating from Qian Daoliu, and no one could possibly associate him with the skeleton soldiers.

"Not bad, not bad."

Electrolux nodded in satisfaction; this disguise was enough to fool the Divine Test Mark's detection mechanism.

After his research over this period, he discovered that the divine test mark he captured actually had two verification mechanisms: one was to confirm that the successor was not problematic, and the other was to confirm that the successor was not dead.

If these two conditions are met, the divine mark can be imprinted on the inheritor.

In this way, he could also reverse-engineer the deeper mechanism of the Divine Test Mark. This Divine Test Mark had basically no encryption methods; it was just slightly encapsulated. It was not difficult for Electrox to disassemble its structure.

While the two were engrossed in their research, Huo Yuhao had already begun the training on constructing teleportation runes set up by Electrolux.
