The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 102 The Main Altar of the Holy Spirit Cult (4000 words)

All the information and intelligence gathered by those branded with fear in the city was also compiled by Huo Yuhao. In the undead demiplane, the spiritual avatar possessing Huo Yuhao's second spiritual sea intelligence spiritual power lay with its eyes closed on a huge undead structure composed of tens of thousands of undead creatures.

At this moment, the information that Huo Yuhao gathered from the holders of the Fear Brand was finally transmitted here. Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar used these external undead creatures to share the pressure brought by the massive information flow, while integrating this intelligence through simulated soul skills, and planning how he should proceed and carry out his next action.

At this moment, at the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, the girl who had been cultivating with her eyes closed in a dark red dress opened her eyes; she had received instructions from Huo Yuhao.

She left the secret chamber where she cultivated and came to a room where several seemingly human but actually evil spirit masters were present. Upon seeing her enter, they all respectfully bowed to her and said, "May the Holy Emperor live ten thousand years, and may the Holy Maiden's immortal beauty last forever."

Ma Xiaotao coldly said, "Let's go, Mingdu."

Under Huo Yuhao's arrangement, Ma Xiaotao took over the task originally belonging to Scorpion Tiger Douluo, which was the Holy Spirit Sect, the organization that the Holy Spirit Cult was using as an alias. She was responsible for leading the Holy Spirit Cult members to Mingdu to participate in the competition, while also infiltrating Mingdu to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult's actions. Of course, under Ma Xiaotao's influence, Huo Yuhao was given the opportunity to operate later.

At the same time, a furtive figure activated his Reality Mimicry and left Mingdu, flying towards the Demon Forest. This person was Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar. Although he didn't invest much spiritual power, his role was only to provide a coordinate location. What he was going to do this time was naturally to steal the Holy Spirit Cult's home.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult is currently focusing all its attention on the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament held in Mingdu, and their headquarters is actually short-handed, as it is a force that worships Tang San and is disguised as the Asura God Saint Emperor.

Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't just watch them take advantage of the situation to grow stronger. Although helping the Sun Moon Empire launch a war against the original three kingdoms of Douluo to gain an opportunity and profit from the chaos was indeed part of Huo Yuhao's plan.

However, Huo Yuhao couldn't just watch Tang San pluck fruit from the sky, so he planned to take this opportunity to detonate the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, shattering their original structure and exposing the Holy Spirit Cult to the light of day and the eyes of everyone.

While forcing the Sun Moon Empire and other forces to openly play their cards, he had Ma Xiaotao take advantage of the chaos to gradually imprint fear marks on the remaining evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Cult, turning their fear and faith into part of Huo Yuhao's resources for advancement.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's soul power is now at level 63, so he can start preparing for the soul ring needed for his seventh martial soul, which is the true form of the martial soul. This trip to the Demon Forest is a good opportunity to take care of it all at once.

As this spiritual embodiment travels and prepares, the first round of elimination matches for this year's All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is about to begin.

Although the Sun Moon Empire's newly released rules, which heavily favored Soul Masters, caused some commotion, the competition format was ultimately approved due to the disunity among various factions.

The Sun and Moon Empire decided to hold the competition on a vast plain in the suburbs. The draw ceremony had already taken place. At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight shone in the east, soldiers shrouded in silver armor lined up in two rows on the streets of Mingdu.

It stretches outwards from the entrance of the Mingyue Hotel. It seems to have no end in sight, and the passageway they form is completely under lockdown.

Compared to the previous competition hosted by the Star Luo Empire, Mingdu made much more thorough preparations. Just this passage alone required the deployment of 20,000 troops to open it up. At the same time, Huo Yuhao understood what they wanted to do, which would minimize the chances of those Soul Masters with special abilities noticing the anomaly in the city.

At this time, there were traces of evil spirit masters' activities throughout the city. If these traces were exposed to other forces, they would inevitably affect the Sun Moon Empire's future plans.

At this moment, the Soul Masters from various factions followed this passage to the plains outside Mingdu. The competition venue was located in the eastern suburbs of Mingdu, and could be seen in the distance once you left the buildings of Mingdu.

At this moment, the normally deserted suburbs were teeming with people, and more than 30,000 soldiers were maintaining order, dividing the crowd into sections and isolating them from the competition venue.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, wondering if he should also cause some trouble here, just like he did in Xingluo City before. After all, the population of Mingdu far exceeded that of Xingluo City. However, he decided not to make any preparations, since his main purpose in coming here this time was to hide himself and incite conflict between the various countries.

On the north side of the competition venue, there is a high platform constructed entirely of metal, which looks capable of accommodating as many as a thousand people. The platform is ten meters high and has a diameter of over a hundred meters.

It was estimated to be about 120 meters long. The wide platform shone with a silvery-white metallic luster and appeared to be made of a special metal. Around the competition venue, there was a groove, and within that groove, a transparent light screen with a slight yellow tint rose into the sky. Looking up, it seemed to have no end in sight.

Besides the competition arena, extending outwards from the arena, every hundred meters there is a ring of huge soul-guided screens supported in the air by tall frames. Each screen is more than twenty square meters in size, and there are more than a hundred such screens around the competition arena.

The rest area for the contestants is located on the east side of the competition stage. It is mainly divided into two areas. The area closest to the competition stage is a covered area that can accommodate about twenty participating teams. The rest are just some outdoor chairs arranged in rows on both sides of the covered area towards the back.

The sky was already bright, and the rising sun from the east shone on everyone, as if gilding all the contestants. There were so many teams that it took almost half an hour just to get everyone seated, and the clamor of the crowd could be heard from afar.

Huo Yuhao sat in his seat, eyes closed, resting. He sensed that among the various teams nearby, there were people who had been branded with his fear. His perspective constantly shifted between these people, since most teams in the previous tournament would bring their reserve teams.

Those reserve team members are naturally the official team members of this year's competition. Most of them have also been branded with fear by Huo Yuhao. It can be said that now, Huo Yuhao has complete control over the combat plans and personnel information of the teams belonging to the academy.

Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit Cult members arrived at a shed. The group was completely silent, and no one dared to speak. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult had a clear hierarchy, and the leader was Ma Xiaotao, the Holy Maiden who instilled deep fear in them.

The Shrek Academy members had already arrived at this place. As expected, the leader was indeed Xuanzi, but the other person leading the team was Zhang Lexuan. Although Huo Yuhao had never met her before, he naturally knew her information through the fear marks left on the Shrek Academy members.

Below the platform to the north, a special group of soldiers was approaching at high speed. These soldiers were dressed in golden outfits, but they did not have any ordinary weapons or equipment. These golden-clad guards all looked to be over thirty years old, and each of them had a restrained spirit and obvious soul power fluctuations. The group consisted of about five hundred people.

The rising sun shone on them, making them gleam with golden light. After arriving below the platform, they immediately spread out and surrounded it. They then formed a defensive formation to protect the platform, which was also a demonstration of force against other factions.

Also escorted by the Royal Soul Master Corps, a procession of carriages arrived below the platform. At the front was a dragon carriage, resembling a small palace, pulled by thirty-two horned-scaled horses, followed by guards and a large number of Sun Moon Empire officials in official robes.

The imperial carriage stopped in front of the platform. Two maids standing on it lifted a curtain embroidered with anemone patterns, and a wheelchair was pushed out, in which sat a handsome young man.

This person was none other than Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire and a titled Douluo. The woman pushing his wheelchair was dressed in palace attire. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her beautiful eyes held a touch of majesty. When her gaze flashed, she was as noble as an empress.

There was another person accompanying Ju Zi. Huo Yuhao had obtained information about Meng Hongchen from the fear mark on his body. It was none other than Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall.

"Greetings to the Regent, greetings to the Regent's Consort." Apart from the Royal Soul Master Corps deployed for defense, all the officials present knelt down and paid their respects to Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

Huo Yuhao used the fear imprints within the arena to transform his power of belief into a network that swept across the entire competition venue. The Sun Moon Empire really went all out this time, with quite a few Title Douluos secretly overseeing things.

"Silence." At this moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out, and a powerful pressure instantly spread throughout the entire venue. The instant the voice appeared, everyone felt a darkness before their eyes, as if dark clouds were pressing down on them.

Even breathing became rapid, and all the discussions vanished instantly in the low voice. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the entire competition venue and spectator area became completely silent in an instant, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was somewhat incredulous, never expecting that the Sun Moon Empire would have such a powerful figure. Just how strong was this person?

Only Huo Yuhao knew that this person was Long Xiaoyao, the Dragon Emperor Douluo who was the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. A glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. It seemed that Long Xiaoyao had finally come to Mingdu and had not been misled by his butterfly effect.

In order to complete the Tower of Death, Ye Xishui will definitely leave the Holy Spirit Sect headquarters in the Demon Forest and come to Mingdu to secretly prepare and collect vengeful spirits. In this case, even in the worst-case scenario, the Demon Forest will only have Zhongli Wu, the nominal sect leader and Super Douluo, in charge.

Moreover, according to the original trajectory, this Holy Spirit Cult leader is also the National Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire, and will also come to Mingdu during this competition.

After a brief announcement of the opening ceremony and the rules, the competition began quickly. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, leaving the battle to the rest of the Imperial Academy, who were, after all, elites selected by the Heavenly Soul Empire.

It's enough for them to handle it in the preliminary rounds.

At this moment, in the Demon Forest, Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar had already set up a circle of teleportation and isolation arrays around the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters. Since he had been working on spatial array diagrams in Dragon Valley for two years, this kind of operation had become quite proficient for Huo Yuhao.

After completing all the arrangements, he began to set up sealing arrays and reverse teleportation arrays around the core area of ​​the Demon Forest. Once the arrangements were complete, Huo Yuhao activated both arrays simultaneously.

At the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, the evil soul masters and their followers stared in disbelief as the sky turned gray and a massive magical barrier enveloped them. Several titled Douluo-level experts unleashed their auras, and at the same time, a sinister voice rang out.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the headquarters of my Holy Spirit Cult? Are you tired of living?!" As the barrier rose, an endless stream of undead creatures swarmed in from outside. These undead creatures, each carrying a powerful aura of light, gave the members of the Holy Spirit Cult a terrible headache.

Their resistance to the evil soul master's methods and their seemingly indestructible and endless numbers were both terrifying. These were all low-level undead creatures sent out by Huo Yuhao, and he didn't even allow them to form undead constructs.

At the same time, ten undead kings emerged from the light and shadow of ten huge teleportation arrays and attacked those titled Douluo and above powerhouses.

"Damn it! Who are you people?!" The owner of that sinister voice fled in a sorry state from the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters. This person was the Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder, the strongest remaining member of the Holy Spirit Cult's altar, a level 97 Super Douluo, and a titled Evil Soul.

Behind him followed a ghostly figure wielding a scythe. This figure followed the Holy Spirit Cult elder at a seemingly slow but actually fast pace, always keeping close behind.

No matter what methods this Evil Soul Douluo used to try to get rid of or hinder the figure of Death, they would all pass through its body without causing any impact. Whenever Death raised and swung his scythe, it would tear through space, purifying the Evil Soul Douluo's soul and the evil energy in his body while severing a portion of it.

"Damn it! What kind of ability is this! Aaaaaah!" Whenever this happened, the Evil Soul Douluo would curse angrily, but he was helpless, being played with like a mouse by the Death God King.

The situation was almost the same in other parts of the battlefield. The seemingly powerful evil soul masters and titled Douluo were treated like toys in the hands of the undead kings. Gradually, the fear in their hearts grew stronger and stronger. Only after Huo Yuhao sensed that the fear imprint in their hearts had taken shape did he summon the undead creatures back to the undead plane.
