Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 551 The Elixir Devours the God (10,000 words per day)

"Teacher, what about your health!"

"It's alright, I can hold on for a few more days."

Moon waved his hand laboriously and forced a smile.

Huo Yuhao instinctively wanted to take out all the secrets he had hidden away, but Mu En stopped him.

A gentle force pulled a chair from the side and placed it in front of him.

"Sit down, and tell me about what has happened to you in the past two years."

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to sit down as instructed.

Huo Yuhao hesitated briefly before saying, "Teacher, perhaps I should..."

"It's alright, please speak first."

".good."

Seeing that Mu En insisted, Huo Yuhao went along with his wishes and recounted the events that had occurred in the past two and a half years.

Even if we only pick out the most important part of the story, which lasts for two and a half years, it still takes a very long time.

Huo Yuhao didn't skip over many things; most of it was about his experiences in the undead demiplane.

It took him about two hours to give a general account of what had happened.

In the end, Moon didn't show any particularly strong emotions; he seemed to be asleep, with his eyelids half-closed.

The only time Mu En's mental state fluctuated slightly was when the topic of Long Xiaoyao came up.

But in the end, it all turned into a few sighs.

"I hope you can grow up quickly. I don't have much time left to fight for you young people. My time is running out."

"Once I die, the long-planned grand scheme of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire will begin. At that time, the entire continent will be engulfed in war and will never be at peace again."

"In the past two and a half years, the resources you brought to the academy have been enough to transform the Soul Guidance Department, and your own growth has not lagged behind. You just said that you have a way to obtain a lot of rare metals controlled by the Sun Moon Empire? Good, after you go out, just go and talk to Duo Duo and the others."

Mu En reviewed Huo Yuhao's experiences over the past two years and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"teacher."

Huo Yuhao finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"May I see your body?"

"Heh. You haven't given up on treating me yet?" Mu En let out a few low laughs. "Xuanzi once said you have the ability to bring the dead back to life. Hahaha, he must be getting old. Is that the power of the life-carving knife between your brows?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and first took out a pill that emitted a heavy, dark golden light. The pill did not look very good. It was supported by a twisted, dried piece of bark. There were several lines engraved on the pill, which seemed to be for dividing the pill into six portions to be taken at once.

Just a slight whiff of the faint fragrance emanating from the pills was enough to restore some color to Mu En's body, which had been deteriorating to the extreme.

"teacher."

Huo Yuhao eagerly held the pills and presented them to Mu En.

The pill Huo Yuhao took out at this moment was called "God Eater". It was said to be a secret medicine refined from herbs and trees that had grown for an exceptionally long time. It was said to even attract minor gods and was a secret medicine that received the grace of the gods.

When facing the berserker Buddha Sculptor, Huo Yuhao once took a secret medicine that not only extinguished the karmic fire set on his body by the Buddha Sculptor, but also restored his damaged body almost instantly.

Huo Yuhao didn't know if such pills could reverse Mu En's gradually declining health, but he really wanted to give it a try.

"Don't waste such a good thing. I know you have many secrets, but the evil energy in the Dragon Pill is too strong. It's not something a single pill can cure."

Huo Yuhao stared stubbornly at Mu En, not even retracting the God-Devouring Beast that he had brought to Mu En's mouth.

Mu En turned his head with difficulty, looked at Huo Yuhao with a determined look in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Alright, don't blame me for wasting a magic pill on you."

With great effort, Moon raised his hand, held the God-Devouring Beast in his palm, and smelled it.

"Hmm, it smells wonderful. Your teacher has encountered many rare and precious herbs, even some that are eighty or ninety thousand years old. But the fragrance emanating from this pill surpasses even those rare and precious herbs. Could it be that it was made from a celestial herb that the original Shrek Seven Devils consumed?"

Mu En put the pill to his lips, but hesitated to take it.

"Teacher, I still have some here."

Perhaps to put Mu En at ease, Huo Yuhao took out all his hidden treasures: a dozen or so pills that didn't look very appealing, several swaddled Ksitigarbha pills wrapped in red cloth, and several pills whose fragrance was in no way inferior to the God-Devouring Pill in Mu En's hand.

"All right."

Mu En was both annoyed and gratified as he swallowed the God-Devouring Pill given to him by Huo Yuhao. The moment he swallowed the pill, an almost indescribable life force flowed into Mu En's withered body along with the pill that melted in his mouth.

Almost instantly, various colors appeared on Moon's body, and the old wounds on his broken body, which had lived for hundreds of years, were being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huo Yuhao activated his mental detection to the fullest extent, observing Mu En's physical condition after consuming the God-Devouring Elixir.

Moon closed his eyes comfortably, letting out a long, contented sigh.

Although he was very curious about the origin of the God-Devouring Stone in Huo Yuhao's hand, he did not ask any questions and instead enjoyed this rare moment of peace.

He had been tormented by the malevolent energy within the Dragon Pill for far too long.

So long that this resentment had almost become intertwined with his soul.

The power residing within him was constantly causing his body and soul to fall into a state of dual collapse and repeated repair.

For Moon, this was undoubtedly the most painful torment.

If it weren't for his deep attachment to Shrek Academy, he would have loved to fall into a deep, eternal sleep and never wake up again.

He is too tired.

It can be said that the reason Mu En did not die before Huo Yuhao returned was purely because he wanted to see Huo Yuhao again and hear firsthand about Huo Yuhao's experiences and changes over the past two years. That's why he held on to his last breath and did not return to the tree.

For a powerhouse like Moon, a single obsession can allow them to last for months or even years longer.

Although they haven't yet reached the divine abilities of Electrolux, such as seizing the sun and moon, shrinking mountains, discerning fortune and misfortune, and manipulating the universe, their powerful bodies, which are close to those of gods, still allow them to understand yin and yang, comprehend life and death, and even, to a certain extent, avoid death and prolong life.

But now, with the Devouring God pill, even though Mu En no longer had the will to continue, he still wouldn't die of old age immediately. Moreover, the powerful effects of the Devouring God dissipated in his body, making him feel a little more comfortable, and the intense pain subsided.
