Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 466 Cleanup (8K)

Old Master Yi once told him that when necromancers control undead creatures, their spiritual power is limited, thus restricting the scope of their control. However, they can enhance their control and transformation of undead creatures through certain magical artifacts. The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is one such artifact.

Most necromancers have extremely limited mental power, and can only control a limited number and range of objects, so they can only rely on external objects for assistance.

However, for Electrolux, such a troublesome intermediary is obviously unnecessary. The reason Electrolux was able to recover all his memories with a wisp of divine consciousness is because Electrolux's divine consciousness can be divided almost infinitely, something Huo Yuhao is far from being able to do now.

According to Elder Yi, a fully refined Ten Thousand Souls Banner can hold tens of thousands of souls. In battle, simply unleashing the vengeful spirits within allows for a large-scale attack. Any creature affected by these vengeful spirits, regardless of species, will quickly become a vessel for the spirits, transforming into an army of the undead.

Once the bodies of these undead creatures are destroyed, their souls return to the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, and in the process of continuously transforming into undead creatures, they devour the souls of other creatures to evolve. At their ultimate evolution, they are said to possess the ability to contend with gods.

Could it be that this evil soul master has become so powerful that he possesses the Myriad Soul Banner?

Of course not. Through mental detection, Huo Yuhao discovered that although there were quite a few of these vengeful spirits, they were far from tens of thousands, at most only four or five hundred. Moreover, each one of them was very weak.

These vengeful spirits were not only vastly different from the powerful vengeful spirits described by Elex, but they also dared not approach after sensing the high undead aura of the liches around them.

The next moment, six balls of pitch-black light exploded on the branch elder's body. The next moment, hissing sounds came from his body, as if he had fallen into a pot of boiling oil, and he cried out in pain.

"Impossible! This is a divine power that only a Holy Emperor can possess. How could your puppets possibly use it? Could it be... could it be..."

The branch elder howled in disbelief, his voice hoarse, while frantically urging the vengeful spirits to burn their own souls, trying to get them to attack Huo Yuhao, but all to no avail.

Huo Yuhao's first soul skill was slowly activated.

disperse.

The two words seemed to possess a special magic. The next moment, as if it were just a gentle breeze, they blew across the bodies of these vengeful spirits, dispersing the dense crimson light on their bodies and even forcibly interrupting the process of their souls burning.

[Soul Skill - Dispel: A secret soul skill unique to the Holy Angel race, bestowed by the Mother of All Spirits as a blessing upon the angels. It forcibly removes all special buffs from a designated target within a range.]

The last inheritor of the Holy Angel was a goddess who once used this technique to defend against invading deities. Even so, defeat still befell her. Behind this defeat lurks an air of conspiracy, and seems to conceal a despicable betrayal.

The originally raging vengeful spirits froze in mid-air, as if they had been frozen in place.

Huo Yuhao slowly drew runes one by one. The branch elders tried to stop him, but were tightly controlled by the six liches. No matter which direction he broke through, he would be brutally beaten by the terrifying light attribute spells.

"Impossible, impossible."

The branch elder's will was repeatedly eroded by the liches' obstruction, but he still muttered to himself, "You and I should be the same kind of people! You should also be a member of our Holy Church, so why can you wield divine power, even with the lowly corpse puppet in your hands?"

"Why, why am I not the one who possesses this power?"

The elder's voice grew weaker and weaker. In response, Huo Yuhao simply stopped inscribing the runes and integrated them into the Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash in his hand.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao's left hand brushed across the blade of the Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash, activating the Holy Flame Blade. Golden flames rose from the blade, and then, with the movement of Huo Yuhao's left hand brushing across the blade, he slashed fiercely.

call--

A golden flame even began to transform into a blazing white, turning into a massive white semi-circular ring of fire that pushed forward. Wherever the pure white holy fire passed, the malevolent aura on the vengeful spirits quickly dissipated, and their expressions became bewildered.

The raging holy flames spread to every corner of the underground hall. When the holy flames that purified the filth landed on the evil soul master elder, even more shrill screams than before rang out, and his body was also burning with even more intense white flames.

The Holy Spirit Flag shattered into countless fragments in an instant, flying everywhere.

"You! You!"

He struggled and twisted incessantly, and black, evil energy continuously evaporated from his seemingly illusory body.

The intense pain distorted his expression.

It seems he wants to say something.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense for the time being. He reached out and forcibly pulled out the other party's soul, which had already lost all its power, and crushed it into a small gray crystal.

Huo Yuhao took out the small gray crystal he had previously collected from the Great Holy Spirit and casually tossed it to one of the liches.

"Take them back. I'll search their souls when I get back. You guys are on official business this time. Once I've gathered all the information I need, you can decide how to distribute it."

In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao had already foretold the fate of the once invincible Great Holy Spirit and the branch elder. After being tormented by the Soul Refining Fire and having his soul searched, even his soul would be devoured by the Liches.

Upon hearing their young master's generous distribution method, the soul flames in the eye sockets of the six liches flickered with excitement. They used to love accompanying their old master on official business trips, precisely for this fresh taste of souls.

"Yes, my lord."

The six liches readily agreed. One of them carried the soul crystals of the two, while the other lich hurriedly put his broken teeth back into his gums before returning to the undead gate that Huo Yuhao had just opened.

Nana, who had been standing behind Huo Yuhao the whole time, was completely dumbfounded.

Although she always believed that Huo Yuhao was very strong, and she was absolutely convinced of it.

But the moment the elder appeared, just hearing the shrieks of the numerous vengeful spirits made her weak all over and unable to use her soul power.

Even though Huo Yuhao's lich almost instantly killed the two holy spirits, and Huo Yuhao even extracted the blood energy from the great holy spirit to imbue his weapon with a layer of blood energy, Nana still felt that the branch altar elder might bring Huo Yuhao a lot of trouble.

At that moment, she thought, "It's over, everything is over." But what happened next shocked her even more.
