Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 727 Yaksha Explores the Sea (6K)

The group walked about 100 meters from the entrance, then turned left. After several turns, they arrived at another large gate.

This door cannot be opened with a key.

Li Chong only has one of the keys; the other four are still with the people who left earlier.

This door is a full meter thick. It's an alloy composed of seven or eight different metals. Even an eight-ring Soul Master might not be able to break through this defense if they tried to attack it head-on. And if they did, the shockwave would immediately trigger all the Soul Guidance Devices inside.

However, on the other hand, when the door is stronger than the surrounding walls, the door loses its value because there's no need for people to confront it head-on.

Huo Yuhao admitted that the security measures inside the door were very good. The complicated keyhole and the password that required an unknown number of digits to pass through left him dumbfounded. The security measures were difficult to deal with, but if I directly attacked your wall, how would you deal with it?

Huo Yuhao bypassed the door and placed his hands on the wall. His bone hands immediately turned frosty, and the next moment, a metal wall was frozen brittle by Huo Yuhao.

Immediately afterward, Huo Yuhao took out a steel shovel and activated the Earth Ant King Slash. With a few swishes, dirt and metal fragments flew everywhere. Huo Yuhao dug a large hole, big enough for a person to fit, into the originally impenetrable thick wall.

Jing Ziyan, who had been talking the whole time, was stunned: "I bet the future bunker designers of the Sun Moon Empire will have a real headache."

Everyone else nodded silently. With Huo Yuhao's digging speed, unless the entire armory was walled with doors of the same strength as rare metals, who could possibly defend against it?

……

Western suburbs of Mingdu.

The Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition is in full swing. After more than half an hour of work, each Soul Master's Soul Tool has taken shape. But there is only one exception.

While Huo Yuhao was multitasking by directing his clone to make zero-yuan purchases, his main body was still meticulously crafting his own soul tool.

He was determined to win the championship in this competition.

A Sun and Moon Divine Needle, a Level 9 Fixed-Equipment Soul-Guided Cannonball, and such a large piece of Cold Heart Iron Essence—the rewards are absolutely incredibly generous.

At this moment, Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin spent at least half of her time focusing her gaze on Huo Yuhao.

While others' soul tools were already taking shape, with at least one or two core arrays already completed, he was still making those intricate parts.

If it were just about making soul tools and nothing else, Ye Yulin wouldn't have paid so much attention to Huo Yuhao.

The reason he paid so much attention to him was mainly because of the speed at which Huo Yuhao made those parts, and the steady, fluid progress of his hands during the production process.

By now, both the workbench and the area beneath it were piled high with various parts. Yet, the number of parts he needed to make seemed endless; almost an hour had passed, and there was no sign of him stopping.

Let's see just how far he can go!

Ye Yulin thought to herself.

It cannot be said that Huo Yuhao did not create any core formations; on the contrary, Huo Yuhao created almost the most core formations in the entire event.

Hundreds of miniature AND-OR and XOR gate level-one core arrays were created by Huo Yuhao as if by lightning, with the average production time of each core array not even exceeding one second.

Often, Huo Yuhao would simply make a light stroke with his palm on the cut rare metal plate, then slap it with his other hand, and a dozen identical core arrays would drip off.

But what exactly are they busy with?

At this moment, Feng Ling had already arrived in the rest area below with several elders of the Evil Soul Masters.

Occasionally, bursts of roars and flashes of light erupted in the distant sky, which could be seen even at the Soul Master Competition venue in the western suburbs.

The three underground forces that organized the competition acted as if nothing was wrong, simply telling the spectators that fireworks were being set off over there.

From Feng Ling's calm and composed attitude towards the game, it's clear that they are confident in their ability to defend the palace.

Huo Yuhao simply smiled at this. If anyone really thought that he was only fighting on two fronts, then he would be sorely mistaken.

Don't forget, the string of small balls hanging from Elder Xuan's waist is not just for show; those God-Sealing Balls are not empty.

Huo Yuhao's hands never stopped moving, and his thoughts kept changing as he continued to create the product with effortless grace.

While continuing to make the soul tool, he turned his attention back to the little skeleton he was remotely controlling.

At this moment, the little skeleton controlled by Huo Yuhao had silently dug through the wall, leaving only a layer of metal wall in place.

However, Huo Yuhao did not rush to break through the tunnel and rush out. Instead, he controlled the little skeleton to dig for a while longer, advancing about fifty meters before placing his hand on the wall.

Although Huo Yuhao has mastered a certain degree of the method of creating his own soul skills, and can even activate soul skills through remote-controlled little skeletons, there is a drawback: soul skills with ultimate attributes cannot unleash their full power without relying on soul rings.

Huo Yuhao guessed that it was because the little skeleton did not possess ultimate attribute power. If it were to activate its soul skill in its true form, even without using soul rings, its destructive power would not be much less.

However, penetrating a layer of iron sheet did not require the use of extreme ice. Carefully controlling the direction of the spread of the cold air, Huo Yuhao made a hand gesture to Ji Juechen.

The next moment, Ji Juechen, like a hungry wolf, kicked open the frozen metal wall and saw a middle-aged Soul Saint with his back to him.

Upon hearing the strange noise, the middle-aged Soul Saint was immediately shocked. However, he never expected that his opponent would not have come out from the main gate, but rather from the wall of the passageway behind him. What kind of attack method was this?

His goal was simple. Within this second level lay countless carefully laid soul-guided traps.

Once you lure your opponent in and set up these traps, even if they are a Title Douluo, they will suffer greatly.

Moreover, he had no idea how many enemies were coming. Sounding the alarm immediately was the best option.

The problem is that Ji Juechen is behind him.

If you want to leave, you have to get past Ji Juechen, a top-tier seventh-ring combatant.

The spirit rings beneath Ji Juechen's feet lit up almost simultaneously, and the Sword of Judgment exploded like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

In a flash, Ji Juechen maintained his balance with his left hand forming a sword finger, his right arm bent into a crescent moon, his left foot standing on one leg, and the sword of judgment in his right hand seemed to chase the clouds and the moon, falling down with unstoppable force like a meteor from the heavens.

It was Ji Juechen's signature move, the killing move he used to deal with Huo Yuhao, Yaksha Probing the Sea!

This move, though not a soul skill, is even better than one. Its power is in no way inferior to the full-force attack of an ordinary eight-ring Soul Douluo!

"Click—"

The middle-aged Soul Saint suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head, and his whole body rolled away like a gourd. His level six invincible shield, which lasted for fifteen seconds, was activated, but it had already lost its meaning.

His spine was shattered by Ji Juechen's Yaksha Probing the Sea strike, and even his internal organs were displaced by the powerful sword strike.
