Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 448 The First Secret Chamber (Daily)

The terrifying explosion even shook the ground violently. More than a third of the people in the massive underground soul tool manufacturing base were affected. The casualties were heavy.

Huo Yuhao had only been at Mingde Hall for half a year, so his experimental table was located on the edge, not at the epicenter of the explosion.

Even so, the shockwave from the violent explosion still propelled his lab table and himself to the side for more than ten meters.

Huo Yuhao was so angry he wanted to curse. If he had been hit at the epicenter of the explosion, he would have been severely injured, if not killed. Those bastards from the Body Sect were truly...

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, feeling sullen, but this wasn't the time to curse. Getting to the elevator and running away was the most important thing.

As the explosion ended, figures suddenly emerged from the ground. These people were all dressed in black, moved with extreme agility, and immediately began to attack those in their vicinity.

From an aerial view, one could see that at each of the four explosion sites, a massive hole, each over ten meters in diameter, appeared. These men in black emerged from those holes. They were not only well-prepared, but also incredibly powerful. Their attack unleashed a torrent of bloodshed.

Among the hundreds of people, almost none were below the Soul Saint level. Almost all of them unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms upon appearance, wreaking havoc.

Qian Daoliu, who hadn't slept, sensed this scene through Huo Yuhao's mental detection and couldn't help but gasp. The Body Sect's scale was almost on par with the Spirit Hall back then.

If he remembered correctly, Bibi Dong had only sent this many combat forces when she launched the Soul Hunting Operation against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.

Hundreds of Soul Saints were rampaging here, and violent power fluctuations surged in the sealed underground. Huo Yuhao could only cower on the ground and take out two steel shovels.

There was no other way. Although the concealment of the Moon Concealment Spirit Descent was very strong, who knew if he stood up and ran towards the exit, he would be targeted by one of the Soul Saints of the Body Sect. It was not impossible for Huo Yuhao to try to deal with a Soul Saint if he used all his trump cards, but there were more than a hundred Soul Saints in the arena at this moment!

Damn it, what's the point of playing this?

Huo Yuhao's brain worked at lightning speed, constructing a mimicry spell to conceal his spirit rings. Then, the third spirit ring beneath his feet was activated, and the two steel shovels in his hands were instantly imbued with an earthy yellow light.

This is Huo Yuhao's third soul skill - Earth Ant King Slash.

[Earth Ant King Slash: A soul ring skill produced by a 30,000-year-old Thousand-Jin Ant King. It greatly enhances the absorber's power level and adds a strong earth element to the weapon. Each swing can forcibly separate mud, sand, and rocks, and also adds a slight gravity control effect.]

The ants' affinity for the land far surpasses even that of the Titans. Beneath the soil, they are the true masters, digging through mountains and unloading ridges. The saying "a thousand-mile dike is breached by an anthill" perfectly illustrates this.

Huo Yuhao originally thought that the main function of his soul skill was to greatly enhance his physical strength and to have a strong destructive power against the defense of earth-attribute soul masters, but he soon discovered that this was not the case at all.

With the help of the Earth Ant King Slash, Huo Yuhao was practically a human-shaped tunnel boring machine, able to dig through the soil with great ease. When he exerted his full strength, his speed was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary person jogging.

If this soul skill were given to someone else, it might be quite troublesome, since they need oxygen, and digging the cave too deep or too fast could easily lead to oxygen deprivation.

However, Huo Yuhao had no such concerns. He possessed an aquatic breathing technique, allowing him to hold his breath for an extremely long time.

Without saying a word, Huo Yuhao dug a hole and buried himself in it, filling the hole with all the soil he dug out and using the Earth Ant King's Blade to gently control the gravity and compact it.

Soon, Huo Yuhao realized he had gone astray. Why was he still thinking about those two broken shovels? Didn't he have the Ice Emperor's Claw?

Ice Emperor, who had been diving in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea with Qian Daoliu, was stunned by Huo Yuhao's actions.

This is the second time. Huo Yuhao has used the Ice Emperor's Claw, which he was given, to do strange things.

Last time, Huo Yuhao used the Ice Emperor's Claw as a cooling glove, and this time he used it as a portable entrenching tool. Except for not using it to fight, it seems that Huo Yuhao can do anything with the Ice Emperor's Claw.

The Body Sect dispatched over a hundred people this time, almost all of whom were Soul Saints or above, including more than a dozen Title Douluos. As soon as they appeared, they activated their respective Martial Soul True Forms and began indiscriminate attacks.

Within minutes, over a hundred more Soul Masters lay dead in pools of blood.

Huo Yuhao shuddered upon detecting this and quickened his pace.

The group of people who are killing everyone they see right now are not Poison Undying, nor do they recognize Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao dug the hole very quickly, but soon, after digging down forty or fifty meters, he realized something was wrong. He was almost at the edge of the tunnel dug by the Body Sect.

Huo Yuhao has no interest in meeting the people from the Body Sect right now. He definitely can't go up the elevator in Mingde Hall. Those things are made of metal, and his Earth Ant King can't cut through them. The most urgent thing now is to dig the tunnel further and wait for the battle above to be over before quietly going back to play dead. That would be the safest option.

So Huo Yuhao continued digging downwards, bypassing the Body Sect's tunnel, and then quickly continued digging downwards.

Huo Yuhao's attention was mostly focused on the battlefield above, where the two old bastards, Du Busi and Jing Hongchen, had already started fighting, and he didn't notice what was happening below him at all.

In his view, he had already bypassed the passageway of the Body Sect, so what was there to worry about? He would take a half-hour nap underground and then leave immediately, so there would definitely be no problem.

As for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo that the Body Sect was so eager to acquire, Huo Yuhao had no interest in it at all.

A mere 100,000-year-old soul beast isn't even considered a ferocious beast. Now that Huo Yuhao's standards have risen, he really doesn't think much of it anymore.

On the contrary, Huo Yuhao was very interested in the Conferred God Platform that sealed the 100,000-year-old soul beast. He decided to borrow it from the Body Sect after some time to study it, hoping to draw some valuable design inspiration for soul tools from that level-nine soul tool.

"Kara!"

Just then, Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Claw seemed to have hit some other metal rather than soil and stone. It was a thick wall made of rare alloy blocking his way, at least thirty centimeters thick.

This alloy wall was made entirely of rare metals and contained defensive soul tools. Its defensive power was definitely not weak, but it was still frozen into brittle paper by the Ice Emperor's Claw, which had the ultimate ice attribute. The next moment, it was instantly torn apart by the Ice Emperor's Claw, and Huo Yuhao also fell down without paying attention.

"Holy crap, a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!"

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. Hadn't he been avoiding this thing all along?
