《My Power is Upgrading Everything (Rewrite)》 Chapter 1: Putra Chapter 1: Putra (Author Note: Yes, This is a rewrite of my Past Fanfic, Hope you like it) --- Chapter 1 --- In a metropolitan city hotel, a man with short ck hair and brown eyes stood before a tall mirror. His name is Putra Indra Santoso, a 29 years old man with no extravagant desire except to live his life to the fullest. Unfortunately, Putra''s background makes it hard to fulfill his lowly desire. A beautiful woman stood beside Putra and hugged him tightly with a smile on her face. "Hey, do you think we can do it now?" She asked coyly, but Putra was so quiet. Putra nced at her and replied indifferently, "No, you can go home now. It''s not hard to discover that you''re my father''s agent, so you can wear your clothes back and get the fuck out of my hotel room." The woman was stunned and changed her expression into a poker face immediately. She clicked her tongue in annoyance and walked to the hotel door. The woman tried to grasp something from her pile of clothes and found nothing for some reason. Putra nced at her and added, "Don''t even try,dy. I took away your gun already. Do you think I''m stupid enough to let a cougar with a weapon inside my room? That guy seemed to have be senile these years, huh." "Does this look familiar?" He aimed a handgun at her head. ... "Leave, or I''ll blow your wide ass forehead." The female agent gritted her teeth and walked out of the room silently. She never broke eye contact with Putra until she closed the door. The man sighed and sat on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a tired look. "It''s been 29 years since I was born in this world, and that guy still hates me to his old bones." Hemented while picking up a wine bottle. ~shback~ --- 29 years ago -- Mawar Hospital. ''''Uwah... Uwah!!'''' The sound of a crying baby echoed through the hallway. It''s awfully silent, considering a hospital shouldn''t be this empty. A man in a bloody tuxedo ran into the corridor and approached the Delivery Room hurriedly. He slowly looked at the room''s sign door with a trembling hand because the surgery was over, hoping his wife would be okay. He''s a handsome man with rich ck hair and ck eyes, which are standard features in this country. He breathed in and walked into the room, feeling the somewhat suffocating warmth of the room heater. He stared at the doctor with a pale face. "Doctor, how is she?" "I''m sorry, we can''t do anything to save your wife. We tried our best, but her heart disease didn''t make it easier for us." The doctor turned around and shook his head. "At the very least, your wife wanted to give birth to your son safely." Women''s heart function changed drastically during pregnancy, causing them to possess a high risk of dying. Cardiomyopathy is one of the heart diseases that can cause the death of pregnant women, and this disease makes the heart bigger, thicker, or stiffer. Cardiomyopathy could make one''s heart weak, so it can''t pump blood properly around the body. In the end, cardiomyopathy can cause problems, such as heart failure. And Linda sadly had this curse for her entire life. The man pulled away the curtain and found a beautiful woman hugging a crying baby. She is no more than 24 years old with brown hair and a paleplexion, having no sense of warmth at all. She has passed away. "L-Linda..." He falls to the floor. He watched his lifeless wife and trembled because his loved one had passed away. The only woman he could only fall in love with has be a mere corpse. And that''s because of her stubborn choice and that child. Yes, that newborn child. A cold and dark sensation swept over the man''s heart when staring at the newborn child. It doesn''t matter if this baby was his flesh and blood. Hatred was burning in his eyes. "It''s because of you..." He muttered, leaving the doctor to frown on the side. "If only you didn''t..." He gripped the bed and stared at the newborn''s brown eyes. Those eyes reminded him of Linda, which lessened the hate in his heart. "W-What''s his name?" The doctor cleared his throat and answered, "Putra Indra Santoso. That''s the name your wife chose on herst breath." "I-I see..." The man grieved and reached over to his deceased wife, crying silently in pain. The time flies so fast, and Putra grew into a healthy five years old boy. He was raised by his cold father, getting no ounce of love from him. Though his father only hired some babysitters to raise and take care of him well, those women only cared about his father''s money. It caused him to view the world differently than others. When Putra was eight years old, his father suddenly abandoned him and kicked him out. However, in just a few days, a woman took him from the street and weed him into an orphanage called White Room. That woman raised Putra tirelessly and gave him everything he needed to survive in this world. She provided Putra with Knowledge, Strength, and Integrity until he became an adult. ~ shback End ~ "Putra." Putra suddenly woke up from his stupor and stared at the ss of wine. He chuckled wryly and remembered his mother''s reason for adopting him. "Haha, this makes me remember so many things in my shitty life." He was merely a child who just got abandoned by his deadbeat father, walking in the street aimlessly. Yet, a woman offered to take him in because he reminded her of her deceased son. It''s an odd coincidence that shouldn''t happen naturally. "Mother, why did you adopt me?" A youthful voice echoed in Putra''s mind, causing an amused giggle to follow after. "Hmm, there are two reasons. It''s because you reminded me of my deceased son. Also, I want to do it. That''s all." Those sweet words kept repeating inside Putra''s head. "Just because I want to do it, huh" Putra couldn''t help but smile because the first reason didn''t matter to him. When his mother adopted him purely because of her motherly feeling, that warmth saved him. *Drrtt!* Putra noticed his phone trembled and saw a phone call wasing. It''s an unknown number, which makes him frown because someone is hacking hiswork. He had nothing to do, so he received the call. "Putra." A familiar voice of his senile fatheres out from the speaker. "Do you need something? It''s about time to give up on your honey trap, father. It''s getting old like you." He replied while sipping his wine. It caused his father to be quiet. "Did I hit the nail?" ... "You have five minutes... Some agents wille and try to kill you. Ran away immediately." The call disconnected, and Putra ced his wine ss on the table. He walked to the nearest window and flicked the curtain slightly, making it like wind sways. "Well, there are some people outside." Putra''s brown eyes shone under the hotel room''s light. He caught a few people hidden in bushes and trash cans. There is also an annoying bug in the building rooftop near his hotel. He smirked and began to prepare himself by wearing a face mask and turning off the hotel room''s lights. He counted the times and waited for the people to enter his room. Like what Putra''s father had warned, a group of people broke into the room with full-armed equipment and searched the entire ce. He watched them silently in the cab close to the front door. Since he couldn''t see anyone outside his room, Putra walked out casually andmented, "There are 3 seconds left on the timer." His voice echoed in the silent hotel room, but a mechanical rm too. *Nit!* BOOM! The room zed with a loud explosion as Putra hummed while walking in the corridor. He walked into the janitor and picked up some tools. "Let''s cut the electricity off." He wore a glove and used power tools to cut the hotel''s power grid. The whole ce became pitch ck, but a pair of brown eyes glowed fine. ... "The target has left the room! I repeat! He has left the room-!" BOOM! A young woman in a camouge suit grimaced when hearing herrades'' transceiver died. She ced up the sniper rifle and viewed the hotel through the scope solemnly, feeling a breeze on her neck for some reason. "Huh??" "Boo." She heard a yful voice in her ears and dropped dead on the roof. Her slender neck was bleeding as sharp lines wrapped around it. "Hello, There." Putra picked the sniper''s transceiver and whistled. "It''s me, your target." "What a lovely night, isn''t it?" *ZZT!* "Specter, hand yourself to us, and the leader will give you a painless death. After all, We won''t hesitate to make a messy move to deal with you!!" Putra raised his gaze and watched a helicopter looming over the hotel. He gave them a middle finger and jumped off the roof, grabbing the railing and entering the building. Heunched a few gunshots to give away his current location and tricked them by jumping to the lower floor. In just a few seconds, he arrived on the basement floor while the soldier searched on the middle floor. "That was easier than I expected. But one thing is sure these people weren''t under my father''smand." Putra tossed his clothes and grabbed the janitor''s outfit. He carefully moved out of the scene and drove Honda Civic away with candy in his mouth. He nced at the mall getting swatted by a group of police and shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Police are also involved." He thought about something for a moment. In the busy night street, so many people walked around and enjoyed their time. Putra stopped because he was a good andw-abiding citizen, watching a heavy trucking from the left side of the four-way street. As the setting was too perfect, Putra shook his head and whispered, "There is no way a child walked in the busy street alone like a cliche-." "Oh, fuck!" A child is running toward the heavy truck. Like literally. Putra pulled the gear and kicked the gas pedal hurriedly because that child''s life was on the line, ramming the honda in front of the heavy truck. BAAM! Panic ensued in the busy street as people watched the poor honda getting smashed by a heavy truck and demolished into a mess. The child trembled and watched a man walk out of the destroyed honda, bleeding because of a sharp-looking pipe inside his chest. Putra fell on the asphalt and smiled because he was an idiot. He stared at the child and said, "Kid, don''t buy a hond-! *Cough* next time..." He didn''t regret his choice to save this child''s life but hoped for a more peaceful death than getting his chest impaled by a sharp pipe. ''Old man, I''m sorry.'' Putra smiled while thinking about the only family member he had. ... "Uugh..." Putra groaned because his stomach felt like shit. "Where am I?'' He opened his eyes and scanned the ce in confusion, finding himself inside a shabby-looking storage room. A beautiful blonde-haired womanes into his vision. "Hao''er!" She hugged him tightly. The woman cried and whispered, "It''s my fault... I shouldn''t have let you enter the Duke Mansion." ''The fuck?!'' Putra put on a confused look. A piece of memory suddenly smashed into his mind and gave him a clue about his current situation. "Huo Yuhao..." A familiar name from fiction Putra read in the past. Putra wished this wasn''t real because that fictional world was doomed, but he clearly was reincarnated as a child named Huo Yuhao. He instinctively hugged the blonde-haired woman who was supposedly Huo Yuhao''s mother and said, "I''m fine, mom." And that''s how Putra reincarnated as Huo Yuhao and started his second life. Chapter 2: The Greatest Upgrading System Chapter 2: The Greatest Upgrading System --- Chapter 2 --- Putra sighed heavily inside and stared at the rundown cottage ceiling. This ce was unfit for living in 21th century. Well, it''s still hard for him to believe he suddenly was reincarnated into Douluo Dalu''s world. "At least there are no god''s mistake cliches." Hemented while yawning slightly. He moved around and found the sleeping mother beside him. He used "His mother." because Huo Yuhao''s memories have fused perfectly with him. He had to ept that Putra Indra Santoso was no more, and exclusively Huo Yuhao remained, which was hard to swallow for a few hours. "I''m Huo Yuhao." He caressed his mother''s face. Huo Yun''er is a beautiful blonde with a calm-looking appearance that could melt one''s heart. She''s a diligent, hardworking, determined, and good-natured mother despite the horrible bullying she went through. Huo Yuhao jumped off the bed and stretched a little, wandering around the cottage with a weird expression. He would be six years old in a few weeks, but this stick-like body is horribly malnourished. Well, he can''t me anyone besides people in the White Tiger''s mansion or the mistress who oppressed Huo Yun''er and Huo Yuhao. They didn''t only cut off their food resources but also other necessities. After checking the whole cottage, Huo Yuhao only discovered a handful of rice grains and some yellowish vegetables. There is not even an egg here in this rotten pantry. "This is worse than I thought." Hemented with a weak smile. "And with this frail body, I can''t even help her. My luck is just horrible, I guess." Huo Yuhao thought about several things and felt his stomach grumbling in need of food. He felt the cold air and shivered because of it, climbing quickly to the bed. "Ah... The nket was only enough for one person." He grabbed the stitched brown nket and stopped midway when trying to cover his body. "What a dilemma." Huo Yuhao huffed and entered Huo Yun''er embrace, feeling his face touching her breast. He has been sleeping with many women in his life, but this was particrly embarrassing for some reason. "Good night." He covered Huo Yun''er with the nket and drifted into a deep slumber inside her warm embrace. ... A blinking star entered Douluo Dalu''s universe and flew across space. Its existence was unique and radiated energy equal to Divine God Kings, or even purer because of its origin. [Ding!] A monotonous sound echoed in the quiet space. [Rebooting...] [The system is currently searching for a suitable host] [Checking potential...] [...] [The system has discovered a suitable host] [Activating Stealth Mode] The ball of light disappeared from that space instantly. . . Divine Realm. A handsome man with long blue hair and a golden trident mark on his forehead frowned. He nced at the starry sky, and something was entering his domain. It was a small white star, which suddenly disappeared into nothingness. "What''s that?" He muttered solemnly. "Should I check that small white star?" However, before the God of Sea could even widen his divine sense to the corner of the universe. A beautiful brown-haired goddess hugged him from behind. "San Ge~!" She excitedly greeted him with a beaming smile. "Wutong wants to adopt a new pet, so we should have told her to stop. At this point, the entire garden will be full of rabbits and cats." The man chuckled and replied, "No, let her be. I want to see Wutong have as much fun as possible in the Divine Realm." Xiao Wu couldn''t help but shake her head wryly because their child was too spoiled by Tang San. Their lovely Tang Wutong obviously was loved by Gods in the Divine Realm. Still, It''s about time to teach her some discipline. "Ah, She is mad at Rong Nianbing because he won''t make Multiyered zed pancakes for her. She used her daddy''s name to threaten him, you know~!" "San Ge~! She is so naughty because you''re spoiling her too much!" "Like you." Tang San kissed her forehead gently. "Where do you think she got that lovely chaotic energy? Also, is it wrong for a father to spoil his daughter?" Xiao Wu blushed and pouted, "Hmph! You''re ying around with me!" Even though the woman was angry, they ended up on the sofa and cuddled for a few minutes. Xiao Wu tilted her head because Tang San seemed to focus on something before. "Ah, what are you doing before Ie?" She asked while tilting her head. ''Cute.'' Tang San thought while caressing his wifey''s hair. He hoped this moment wouldst forever. He wondered for a moment about how to answer Xiao Wu''s question. He shook his head and replied naturally, "Well, It''s not that important because I sensed a wild star. It happens once in a while." "Really?" Xiao Wu puffed her mouth. "Yeah, what about a warm soup? I''ll make it for you." Tang San returned by changing the top, which was very effective against his wife. ''''Yey!'''' Unknown to Tang San, the disturbance he felt a moment ago would create a problem in Douluo Dalu''s universe. More than he could handle. And his daughter will be one of the problems in the future. ... Douluo, Star Luo Empire. A dim white light suddenly appeared and floated above the White Tiger''s Duke Mansion. No one noticed white-colored energy swept over the area and gathered in a small cottage behind the mansion. [Host: Huo Yuhao locked] A white ball of light descended from the sky and entered the cottage, hovering above Huo Yuhao''s forehead. [The system concluded Huo Yuhao as the most suitable candidate and decided to bound with his soul] [Binding system with host soul] [Binding in Progress...] [1%...] [19%] [36%] [42%] [69%...] Huo Yuhao clutched his mother''s bosom and experienced a bad dream. He breathed heavily and released steam from his forehead. [96%...] [99%] [100%] [The system have linked to the host''s soul] He coughed a little and fell asleep soundlessly again, feeling the warmth from his mother''s body. "Hmm?" Huo Yun''er woke up from her sleep and saw her son hugging tightly. Like a good mother, she smiled a little and eased Huo Yuhao by patting his back. As the morning arrived, Huo Yun''er yawned and cooked porridge for her son. She wholeheartedly made breakfast for Huo Yuhao, denying her empty stomach. Ten minutester. "Hao''er~." She called over her son. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and heard a voiceing from the kitchen, seeing Huo Yun''er walk toward him with a bowl of warm porridge in her hands. "Mom." He responded and sat on the bed. Huo Yun''er sat beside him and said, "Here, eat this warm porridge. It would slowly ease your stomach ache." She fed Huo Yuhao with a wooden spoon and made the child''s eyes widen in awe of the taste. He happily enjoyed everyst bite, remembering they won''t have enough food for two people. "Mom, aren''t you hungry too?" He asked naturally, which caused her to giggle in amusement. Huo Yun''er wiped some wet rice off his lips and replied, "Mom is not hungry, but does the porridge taste good?" Huo Yuhao nodded immediately because that was one of the best porridges. Maybe the hunger and his new body added to this result, but it doesn''t matter. He could feel the warmth of his mother''s love. He knew very well that the rice in the kitchen was almost non-existent. No, it''s already run out because of this porridge. "It''s delicious!" He smiled while feeling bad inside. Huo Yun''er patted his head and walked away with the dirty te, telling him to wait for her. She would go and boil drink water for him. "Aih, this guilt feeling is irksome." Hemented while staring at the ceiling. Huo Yun''er is too good of a mother, but her life is miserable. A maid and lover of Duke White Tiger but neglected because he went to the frontline and charged the army. He slowly leaned on the wall and added, "I have to find a way to get out of this ce. It''s harmful to us to live here because the White Tiger''s mistress would always try to torment my mother. However, how could I achieve that?" "This world is not easy because Tang San and hispanions have reached the Divine Realm, which means every move I made might catch their attention. There are also Dark Spirit Masters looming everywhere." And him being Huo Yuhao is not a good point. It''s well-known that Huo Yuhao is Tang Family''s errand boy after getting manipted by Tang San to love his spoiled daughter. "Life is hard..." An annoyed sigh escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. [Good Morning, Host] ... Huo Yuhao tilted his head and muttered, "What?" A blue screen suddenly appeared before his eyes and greeted him with a good morning. It''s a weird expression because it feels like a monitor flying in the air without a frame. "When did I have a system? What''s this, Reincarnator package or something?" He frowned while staring at the system panel. [I merged with your soulst night. My sole purpose is to find a host that could utilize me to the fullest] Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but feel suspicious about this system thing. He read too many stories where a system is bullshit most of the time, and the host is a mindless servant to do a never-ending amount of quests. Like reading Huo Yuhao''s mind, the system created an additional panel. [The system won''t affect the host''s choice] [The system only desired the host to achieve the highest realm possible] Huo Yuhao frowned and skeptically asked, "Let''s assume that is true. What kind of system are you?" [Greatest Upgrading System] "That''s a mouthful." Hemented with a small smile. With this system, he might be able to erase his shitty fate. "Well, nice to meet you, system." "Err, do you have a name?" [No] "Then, Evo. I''ll call you that from now on." Huo Yuhao gave the system a new name. Chapter 3: 1st Quest Chapter 3: 1st Quest --- Chapter 3 --- "Evo, can you show me your function?" Huo Yuhao called upon the new system. [Right away, host] [1. Status] [2. Inventory] [3. Quest] [4. Upgrade] He stared at the system panel silently for a moment because the first three functions were pretty self-exnatory. He read too many novels and stories to know these things. ''What a good old day when a gun isn''t on my head 24/7.'' He thought to himself. His sense of awareness has returned to some degree, making everything clear for him. Huo Yuhao circted his breathing and continued, "What''s the upgrade?" [Upgrade function is the central ability of the system, giving a chance to upgrade everything, whether living beings or not. For example, you can upgrade yourself, bloodline, weapons, and martial techniques to the highest stage possible] "That''s a bit broken." Huo Yuhaomented with a grin. "Then upgrading my talent should be possible right?" [That''s possible] [However, the Upgrade function is only usable when you have UT] "UT??" A frown appeared on Huo Yuhao''s young face. [Upgrade Tickets, you can think about it like a currency of the Greatest Upgrading System] [And you can only get [UT] through Quest] I''m back!" Huo Yun''er walked into the cottage with a bucket filled with river water. She went to the small kitchen and boiled the water for Huo Yuhao. "Wee back." Huo Yuhao smiled at Huo Yun''er. He observed her physical condition skillfully and saw a few bruises on her knee, which left him cold inside. They lived in the forest behind the White Tiger''s mansion, and no one ever visited them. "Are you okay? Your knee..." Huo Yun''er covered her knee with a cloth and let out a clueless chuckle. "I''m fine." She replied naturally, not wanting to make him worried. She quickly changed the topic to a few things rted to Spirit Master because the old Huo Yuhao wanted to be one in the future. And Huo Yuhao entertained the fact and listened to her exnation. He''s not a child, but Huo Yun''er obviously doesn''t want to make a fuss about her problem, which is sad. After five minutes, the water boiled, and she brought the kettle to the table, waiting for it to cool down. "Ah, It''s about time for breakfast in the mansion..." Huo Yun''er panicked as the sun was about to rise. She worriedly looked at her son because his condition was not best to be left alone. Huo Yuhao took this chance and said, "Don''t worry, mom. You can go to work. I''ll be fine alone." "Eh? B-But..." Huo Yun''er was stunned by her son''s sudden statement. Since when did Huo Yuhao be so mature? "No, but! You can go to work without worrying about me. I can take care of myself." The child proudly continued, which caused Huo Yun''er to giggle a little. Huo Yun''er hugged Huo Yuhao and gave him a peck on the forehead. She left after telling him to stay inside and don''t wander around today. "I''ll be back at noon, okay? Don''t wander around like yesterday because you might encounter people from the mansion." She warned for thest time. He nodded like a good child and responded, "Mhm." ... "Evo, give me a quest." [Ding! You have received a quest] [Quest: 1st Training] [Objective: Do 100 sit-ups, pushups, and squads followed by one-kilometer runs] [Reward: Starter Pack and 1x Gold Upgrading Ticket] "What a tedious quest." Huo Yuhao wryly chuckled because it would be hard to finish those goals with his twig-like body. At least it''s not impossible, like killing one hundred thousand years old spirit beasts. "Is a Gold Upgrading Ticket rare?" [Yes, Upgrading Tickets have different grade] [Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, ck Gold, tinum, Amethyst, Gold Amethyst, and Lastly tinum Amethyst. Each grade has a different upgrade chance and possibility] [Do you want to know about the exact percentage?] "Kept going." Huo Yuhao nodded and slowly crouched on the ground to start his task. He began with sit-ups and pushed this child''s body to the limit. It took him an hour to do it while feeling light-headed. A few hourster, Huo Yuhao rested on the floor and breathed heavily. He had never felt so tired, even when he was getting trained by his past life''s mother. "This makes me remember things from my past lives." [You have finished the 1st Training Quest] Evo''s monotonous voice echoed in his mind. [You have obtained a starter pack and 1x Gold Upgrading Ticket] "Give me a description, please?" A smirk appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. [Noted] [Name: Starter Pack] [Type: Treasure Box] [Grade: A] [Description: A treasure box filled with beginner items to help host in his future endeavors] [Name: Gold Upgrading Ticket] [Type: System Currency/Upgrading Ticket] [Grade: Gold/S] [Description: An upgrading ticket with a 90% chance to upgrade any item into S Grade. And a 10% chance to reach SS Grade] "Hoh." Huo Yuhao breathed in to calm his nerves, staring at the system panel with an intrigued look. The Gold Upgrading Ticket has more value than he expects. "Evo, you said the Upgrade Function can upgrade everything, right?'' [Indeed] [Do you want to upgrade something, host?] "I want to upgrade you." He replied, which gained a silence from the system. [Request Denied] [I''m afraid that''s impossible with a Gold Upgrading Ticket...] [Please choose another item to upgrade, host] Huo Yuhao shrugged and added, "Worth a try. You can''t me me because you said Upgrade Function could upgrade everything. Is that a loophole in your system?" [...] "Don''t be quiet like that. I''m just joking around, you know." His smirk widened. Evo said it''s impossible with Gold Upgrading Ticket but doesn''t say anything about higher grade UT. Huo Yuhao pondered for minutes about his option to upgrade because there was a wide variety of it. He had to think outside the box, using the Gold Upgrading Ticket to its maximum value. He could have upgraded his body, but that was too basic. Anything is possible. "Evo, does the starter pack give random items? If so, my luck should affect it, no?" [No] [Starter Pack doesn''t give you random items for your beginner''s journey but is reassured. Everything inside the pack truthfully is deemed to be beneficial for you] "I see, never mind then. I was about toin if the starter pack is like gacha." Huo Yuhao despised the low rate of Gacha-rted things. He spent a couple of hundred dors in the past to get a five stars weapon and ended up with nothing. Huo Yuhao wanted to upgrade his luck, but since the starter pack isn''t rted to such an attribute. It would be better to upgrade other things first. "I''m thinking too hard. At this point, I''ll never use the Gold Upgrading Ticket." He sighed and said, "Evo, use the Gold Upgrading Ticket on the Starter Pack." [Excellent Choice, host] [You have used Gold Upgrading Ticket on Starter Pack] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired the Greatest Starter Pack] [Name: Greatest Starter Pack] [Type: Treasure Box] [Grade: SS] [Description: A treasure box filled with several SS grade items to help host in his future endeavors] "Easy." Huo Yuhao''s smirk broadened into a grin. Chapter 4: Starter Pack Chapter 4: Starter Pack --- Chapter 4 --- Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel with excitement in his heart because Starter Pack jumped two grades because of the Gold Upgrading Ticket. It''s only a 10% chance, but his luck is not that bad. [Do you want to open the Greatest Starter Pack?] "Sure." Huo Yuhao took the kettle from the table and poured the water into a cup. He watched Evo process something and create another system panel. [Opening the Greatest Starter Pack...] [Congrattion, host] [You have obtained...] Prating Fist(Martial Universe) 1x Dragon-Blooded Body Tempering Pills 3x Master Craftsmanship Skill Book 1x Master Chef Skill Book 1x Master Alchemist Skill Book 1x Random Legendary Beast''s legacy 2x Senzu Beans(Dragon Ball Universe) 69x Goblin''s Mask 1x Four Season Saber Technique(IMDC Universe) 1x Extreme Mirage Lightning(ATG Universe) 1x Haki Training Methods(One Piece Universe) 1x Failure(Overgeared Universe) Bronze Upgrading Tickets 10x Silver Upgrading Tickets 5x Gold Upgrading Tickets 2x "God Damn!" Huo Yuhao gagged on his water and watched the item list with a shocked look. He coughed profusely and pinched himself on the wrist to check if this was real or not. He felt pain, which means this is real. It is beyond his expectation. He recognized some items and muttered, "Greatest Started Pack indeed... Evo, I love you." [...] [In total, you have obtained three master skill books, three martial techniques, 72 consumable items, two legacies, two pieces of equipment, and one training method. Also, 17 Upgrading Tickets] [Do you want to proceed by checking them out?] Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement and watched several system panels appear around him. He checked the nearest one and began to read. [Name: Prating Fist] [Type: Martial Technique] [Grade: C+] [Description: Basic martial art from Martial Universe, building one''s foundation through repetitive training, Prating Fist has nine stages based on echo. When mastered, one could damage the enemy''s internal organs and create nine echoes] Huo Yuhao pursed his lips andmented, "The technique''s name is quite questionable. Prating, huh? I hope it''s effective in the future for *Cough!* defeating my enemy." He naturally skipped Master Skill Books'' descriptions because they are self-exnatory. He could be a master in those fields by learning it through Evo. It''s cheating, but whatever. "Senzu Beans, who would have thought I could get this from the Starter Pack?" He nced at the system panel. [Name: Senzu Beans] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: SS] [Description: A miracle-like bean from Dragon Ball''s universe. When eaten, a person''s physical condition frankly was restored to its natural peak] Senzu Bean is a highly versatile consumable because fatigue disappears, and stamina and ki (energy) reserves are restored by simply eating it. The nourishing properties are also so potent that one Senzu Bean can keep a person "full." for ten days. "Senzu Bean. Hmm, Let''s see..." Huo Yuhao grabbed one from his inventory and tried it, feeling his physical condition return to its peak. His body instantly was filled with never-ending stamina and energy. It''s like drinking an energy drink without the side effects. "Well, that''s too much. I''m healthier now. This energy would be enough for me to survive three weeks without food. It''s clearly effective for training, but I had to minimize the usage of Senzu Bean because of how valuable it is in a tight situation. I wasted one already." Huo Yuhao skipped Goblin Mask and Dragon-Blooded Body Tempering Pills. It''s just a wooden mask and three pills that could temper one''s body, which is usable but not worth attention. "Oh, wow." His eyes focused more on the other three martial techniques/methods. [Name: Four Season Saber Technique] [Type: Saber Technique] [Grade: SS] [Description: A powerful Saber Technique based on worldly seasons, utilizing state rather than form. When mastered, one could manifest four seasons and their cycle] [Name: Extreme Mirage Lightning] [Type: Movement Technique] [Grade: SS] [Description: Extreme Mirage Lightning is the Hua Family''s unique movement skill. When mastered, one could suppress energy(aura) and move like lightning] [Name: Haki Training Method] [Type: Training Method] [Grade: SS+] [Description: This unusual method guided one on how to train spiritual energy for three specific types/purposes, which were Kenbunshoku(Observation), Bososhoku(Armament), andstly, Haoshoku(Conqueror) Haki based on innate willpower] "Yep, I got a jackpot." He couldn''t help but grin excitedly. With these techniques and items, he could get out of this ce with his mother. "Oh, wait. There is thest item I forgot to check." "Failure." BOOM! A greatsword suddenly appeared out of the inventory and smashed against the ground, making the dust and dirt fly everywhere. Huo Yuhao dodged by rolling his body to the right and stared at the greatsword with disbelief. "Evo, what the fu-! Never mind, I remember that inventory brings out the item when I call the name." He sighed, remembering saying "Senzu Bean." before. "Disable this function, Evo." [Voice-based Inventory''s release has been disabled] Evo responded monotonously. Huo Yuhao moved his gaze back to the greatsword and noticed the shape simr to a shark with a dim blue shining. This weapon is clearly not made of "normal." material. [Name: Failure] [Type: Weapon/Greatsword] [Grade: S+] [Description: The first item created by Legendary Pagma''s Descendant, Grid. It was "skillfully." made of Blue Orichalcum known for its lightness and durability] [When equipped, the user could use 5-Joints attack, Cutting, and Bisect Skill] [Innate Effects: Inflict fear on the enemy with 20 levels lower. Attack power +20% in dark ces] Huo Yuhao''s jaw dropped because this weapon was insanely good. Let''s not mention the innate effects. He could use three attack skills by simply equipping it. "Why did Grid name it Failure?" He tilted his head in confusion because such a good weapon deserves better treatment. Well, everyone''s naming sense is different. Huo Yuhao grasped the handle and tried to use Failure out of curiosity. And Evo sent a system panel to him. [Your level is not enough to equip Failure] [Level requirement: 50/Spirit King Realm] "Seriously?" Huo Yuhao facepalmed because Evo could have told him earlier. "Whatever, ce this thing back into the inventory then." A bright blue light enveloped Failure and made it disappear into nothingness within a sh. A deep mark was left behind on the floor, making Huo Yuhao wonder how to exin it to his mom. "Mom, An elephant suddenly falls from the sky! That''s enough exnation. I guess." He chuckled because a child''s imagination is wild, but the scenario was not impossible because Douluo Dalu''s Universe was full of dangerous beasts. Speaking of the dangerous beasts, Huo Yuhao hasn''t checked two random legendary beast legacies from the starter pack. He searched for the system panel and looked up at the ceiling. [Name: Random Legendary Beast''s Legacies] [Type: Legacy/Gacha] [Grade: A-SS] [Description: Upon activating this item, one could obtain a random legendary beast''s legacy] [Quantity: 2] "Oh no... Why??" Huo Yuhao stopped at the type and was annoyed by it. "Everything is good so far. Why did you give me Gacha? Evo..." [...] [Do you want to open Random Legendary Beast''s Legacy?] "No, fuck no!" He yelled immediately. ... ... "Open my status window first." [Opening Status Window...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 5 years old(almost six)] [Cultivation: Level 0] [Martial Soul: Unawakened] [Current Condition: Full of energy] "Well, it''s so in." Huo Yuhao was disappointed with his status panel, but he hasn''t done anything extreme to be strong. After brushing off the annoyance from the Gacha type, he stared at the system panel and said, "Evo, I want to upgrade my luck with a Gold Upgrading Ticket." [Upgrading host''s luck with Gold Upgrading Ticket] [Upgrading...] [...] [Your luck has reached S rank] [Innate Effect: Luck +20%] "Of course, I didn''t get SS rank with my previous luck." Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly. He lost 90/10 and got S rank. He considered using another Gold Upgrading Ticket on his S Rank Luck but decided to drop the idea because of how precious this thing was at the moment. "Let''s save it forter. Evo, open the random Legendary Beast''s Legacy." [Opening Random Legendary Beast''s Legacy] [Congrattion, Host] [You have received [Blue Fire Fox] and [Purple-Crowned Wyvern] legacy] [Both are A+ grade legacies...] "Are you kidding me?" [...] "This is why Gacha is a scam... RNG is a lie." Huo Yuhao muttered indifferently. "Evo." [Yes, host?] "Use Silver Upgrading Tickets on the legacies. It has 20% of reaching S rank, right?" [That''s correct. However, Silver Upgrading Tickets also have an 80% chance of failing to get S-] "Shut it, and upgrade the damn legacy..." Huo Yuhao red at the system panel. His mood is down because of the shitty gacha rate. [Using two Silver Upgrading Tickets on [Blue Fire Fox] and [Purple-Crowned Wyvern] legacy] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired [Albino Nine-Tailed Fox] and [Purple-med Divine Dragon] legacies] "Good..." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief. Huo Yun''er suddenly entered the cottage and said, "Hao''er, I''m home! Where are you?" Before Huo Yuhao could even gain hisposure, the adult woman walked into the bedroom. "Hmm, What happened to the bedroom?" She looked at the messy room with a surprised look. "A-An E-Elephant fell from the sky?!" He replied with a flushed face. Chapter 5: Training and Upgrade Chapter 5: Training and Upgrade --- Chapter 5 --- In the forest near a rundown cottage, a blue-haired small boy with a blindfold dodged several moving blocks of wood tied in rope. He skillfully swayed his body left and right, sensing multiple objects move toward him at different tempos. BAM! Cough! Huo Yuhao jumped and weed with a whole tree smashing his stomach. "Damn it." He cursed while falling to the ground. He opened his blindfold and watched the tree floating above his head with an annoyed look. It''s been a few days since he reincarnated into this world and progressed rtively fast because his senses reached their former heights again. As long as Huo Yuhao grasped the entry level of Haki, he could use [UT] to upgrade his mastery to a higher stage. Well, that was a n, but he didn''t get any results for a few days. And Huo Yuhao even visualized all kinds of enemies from his past lives. Only today, he felt everything flow correctly. He used the Master Skill Book from the Greatest Starter Pack and made this makeshift training ground with Craftsmanship Skill. It helps quite a lot more than just meditating. "I''m close..." Hemented while grasping a rope and pulling it down to return every bounded piece of wood to its original position. Haki is, frankly speaking, Ambition or Willpower. It manifested from the depth of the user. Huo Yuhao dodged and closed his eyes, feeling the air current created by the wood movement. He felt no intention because wood is a dead object, but everything seemed transparent for a moment. However, like inside a deep trance, Huo Yuhao kept moving and felt spiritual energy flowing out of him. His eyes closed tightly, but he could sense the woods floating around him. [You have learned basic Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki] Evo announced with a dull tone. "I did it?" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and grabbed an iing piece of wood with his hand. It was a surprise for him because Haki was hard to achieve unless the individual was talented or born with it. "Ah, talent... Huo Yuhao awakened Spirit Eyes, which was a spiritual-based martial soul. It''s a sudden theory, but my innate talent for Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki should be quite high, no?" [Name: Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki] [Type: Spiritual Skill] [Grade: F+/Entry Level] "I only have 14 Upgrading Tickets left." Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment. "Evo... Upgrade my Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki with a Bronze Upgrading Ticket." [Processing...] Bronze Upgrading Ticket has a 60% of upgrading low-leveled anything to C-B Grade and 40% of bing A Grade. It''s only 20% odd between those chances, but Huo Yuhao never hoped much. [Using one Bronze UT on Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki] [Upgrading...] [...] Huo Yuhao felt his brain pierced by a thousand needles, and his overall sense became abnormal. He slowly stumbled to the ground and began to throw up. Everything felt weird. Blergh! [You have upgraded Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki into C+ Grade] [Your spiritual energy indirectly has increased by ten folds and reached a new stage] [This might cause mild shock] "Mild, your head! Warned me sooner, EVO!" Huo Yuhao smacked his hand on the ground in frustration. This system is messing with him. [Do you want to adjust the setting of notification?] He stared at the system panel coldly and said, "Yes..." [The {Warned the host when something wrong happened} Protocol has been created and implemented within the system] Huo Yuhao sighed and crouched to the nearest tree, leaning his back on it. He closed his eyes and familiarized himself with the current mastery of Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki. It allowed him to feel everything below future sight''s stage, which is pretty neat. Still, He smiled and peeked at his Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki''s panel. [Grade: C+/Middle Fundamental Stage] "Evo, you said I have to reach at least the peak fundamental stage on Kenbunshoku(Observation) and Busoshoku(Armament) Haki to take Purple-med Divine Dragon''s legacy, right?" [Yes, Host. That''s the minimum condition to absorb Purple-med Divine Dragon''s legacy] Evo replied monotonously. When Huo Yuhao tried to use Purple-med Divine Dragon''s legacy a few days ago, Evo warned him to prepare himself first because this legacy was too strong for him. Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding andmented, "My Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki is near the requirement, so I''ll focus on Busoshoku(Armament) Haki now." "The method is vague, but Busoshoku Haki is a form of Haki that allows the user to use their spiritual energy/Willpower to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themself, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities." "Which means manifestation." He muttered while picking one Dragon-Blooded Body Tempering Pill. A small-looking red pearl with silver shone. [Name: Dragon-Blooded Body Tempering Pill] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: B+] [Description: A pill created with several rare medicines and a drop of Earth Dragon''s Blood, having a heating and tempering effect on one''s body. It could bring out impurity and refine one''s body to the [Body Metamorphosis] stage] You might think, why don''t Huo Yuhao upgrade his body? He can''t because it hastens his growth and makes him a child longer than people his age. It''s not a good move because the result is more harmful than the payback. "Evo, use one Bronze Upgrading Ticket on this Dragon-Blooded Body Tempering Pill." He instructed the system. [Using one Brozen UT on Dragon-Blooded Body Tempering Pill] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired Sky Dragon Body Pill] "Oh, wow." He noticed the pearl on his hand be translucent white with a cloud pattern. [Name: Sky Dragon Body Pill] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: A+] [Description: A pill created with a few heavenly medicines and Sky Dragon''s Blood, having an extreme heating and tempering effect on one''s body. It could bring out all impurity and refine one''s mortal body to the highest [Body Metamorphosis] stage in the "mortal." realm] Huo Yuhao shrugged casually and flicked the Sky Dragon Body Pill into his mouth. As He swallowed the consumable item, warm energy spread across his body. He felt heating from his stomach and ran up to his throat. [I advise you to keep your mouth closed, host. The medicine tried to escape your body] He narrowed his eyes and maintained a rxed posture while his body released a sweat like no tomorrow. A ck sweet slowly seeped out and hardened on his skin like a shell. An hourter. Kacha! Huo Yuhao''s body released a white vapor filled with medicinal aroma. He opened his eyes and was fascinated because his whole body felt like getting reborn. It''s a liberating feeling simr to getting into a warm bath-up. "Awesome." He uttered all this sensation in one word. His spiritual energy rushed out of his skin, forming an invisible shield. [You have learned basic Busoshoku(Armament) Haki] Evo announced again. [Name: Busoshoku(Armament) Haki] [Type: Spiritual Skill] [Grade: D/Entry Level] "Oh, D Grade? That''s beyond my expectation." A translucent shield coated Huo Yuhao''s palm. It also releases this calm white-colored energy. "Then... What are we waiting for, Evo? Use one Bronze Upgrading Ticket on Busoshoku(Armament) Haki." [Using one Bronze UT on Busoshoku(Armament) Haki] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have upgraded Busoshoku(Armament) Haki into B Grade] "Having S Rank Luck is so nice." Huo Yuhaomented with a smallugh. "And with this, I''ve reached the Peak Fundamental Stage in Busoshoku(Armament) Haki." The translucent shield turned into dull ck, which shone with a slight metallic luster. It''s weak, but Huo Yuhao could feel his physical strength multiplied by several folds. He has reached the basic "Hardening." stage and can coat his whole body with spiritual energy. He picked a random pebble and tried to use the Imbuement of Busoshoku(Armament) Haki, which resulted in disappointment because he couldn''t do it yet. And It has something to do with getting his Spiritual Energy manifested outside his body. "Hmm, Should I upgrade the Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki with a Silver Upgrading Ticket? It''s tempting." He stared at the sky peacefully. "No, let''s not be greedy and throw up again. It''s better to get everything naturally." "I also have to tune myself with these new skills first. There are only two weeks and a few more days before I turn six. It''s tight, but I should be able to squeeze out some technique." "Haa... I should have told mom to think about our condition, but I am sleepy." He yawned and fell asleep. ... ... "Hao''er?" "Hao''er??!" "Huh!" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw his mother''s worried expression. "What are you doing here... Mom?" Huo Yun''er ced her hands on her hips and replied, "I should be the one who asked that, Hao''er. You left home often these days, and today you haven''t returned afternoon." "Afternoon?" The sky has turned orange, and crows are flying everywhere. "..." Huo Yuhao. "I-I can exin..." He half-exined why he repeatedly was in the forest for thest few days and gained an awed look from his mother. She covered her mouth in surprise. "I''ve been training here. Take a look at those wood pieces I tied to small ropes." He said with a weak smile. "After getting beaten up by children in the White Tiger''s Mansion, I realized being weak is notfortable." "It''s a sin for being weak." He stared at his mother''s eyes and asked, "After I awakened my martial soul... Mom, do you think we can get out of this ce?" It caused Huo Yun''er to change her expression. The former shock was reced with hesitation because Huo Yuhao knew she was waiting for the White Tiger''s Duke, who wouldn''t return soon to protect them. ''Even without Kenbunshoku(Observation) Haki, I could tell she didn''t want to leave. How pitiful, because as a Huo Yuhao, I believed you deserved better than this. At this point, you''re pushing yourself to a cliff, mom.'' He sighed inside. Huo Yun''er has suffered a lot, but her determination and hope kept her through it. Nevertheless, those things wouldn''t cause her life any good because everything would gradually worsen beyond saving. It''s saddening, to be honest. ''Two weeks... I have two weeks to convince her.'' Huo Yuhao thought solemnly. If the thing doesn''t go well, he''ll use force. Chapter 6: Hunting and Acting? Chapter 6: Hunting and Acting? --- Chapter 6 --- "Haa..." "What a stubborn woman." Huo Yuhaomented with annoyance. He stared at his mother from afar, doing theirundry, and sighed because she was too determined in the wrong way. Huo Yun''er isn''t a well-known character in Douluo Dalu 2 series because she died before Huo Yuhao started his journey. All her life after having an affair with Duke White Tiger is worse than someone could imagine. Since Huo Yun''er wasn''t a legal wife and a mere personal maid of the duke, the duchess banished her to the forest. She raised Huo Yuhao for almost 12 years and passed away because of an illness. That''s how it''s supposed to be. ''There is no way I''ll let that happen... I''m not dumb enough to let you suffer more than this, mom.'' Huo Yuhao released his spiritual energy. However, no matter how much he tried to convince Huo Yun''er to get out of this damn ce, she always refused and insisted on staying here. "It''s not wrong to trust someone, Mom. You''re expecting too much from Duke White Tiger because he won''te here as long as the duchess was in charge of the Mansion." "You''re being too determined, so don''t me me for being maniptive. It''s how my previous mother taught me how to survive in this world." Huo Yuhao picked the goblin mask from his inventory and wore it to cover his cold expression. He took a step and disappeared into the forest. "Evo, give me a quest." [Ding!] [Name: Hunting] [Objective: Kill ten animals inside the forest (0/10)] [Reward: 2 Iron Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Herbs] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] "Before that, is that objective set in stone?" He calmly questioned while calcting something. [No] "Then, I''ll abuse it." [...] Huo Yuhao picked a kitchen knife from his inventory and walked into the deepest part of the forest. He eased his breathing and scanned the area with Kenbunshoku Haki, sensing three small rabbits. "Survival of the fittest." He hardened his leg and kicked the ground. Swoosh! A blue-haired kid skipped through the bushes and shed the rabbit''s neck. He repeated the same process and killed three rabbits without any problem. [3/10] "Animals have the instinct to run away when sensing other''s presence, so sneaking on them would be hard in this scenario. Kenbunshoku Haki was insanely useful because I can match their presence with my spiritual energy." "Let''s keep going." [You have killed Wild Rabbit] [You have killed Forest Pigeon] [You have killed Piglet] [You have...] [...] [...] ... In the forest, a blue-haired kid breathed heavily and watched his bloody hand with a weird smile. Huo Yuhao has never killed any living beings until now, so he was overwhelmed though not that long. Huo Yuhao took a few minutes to organize his thoughts and returned to normal immediately. He was Putra Indra Santoso before and was famous for being the Specter, an unknown mercenary hired by many countries. "This is going well." Huo Yuhao wiped sweat with his sleeve and scanned the area with Kenbunshoku Haki again. "Hmm, I don''t sense anything. Should I go to other areas? This forest is quite huge, after all." "Anyway, show me the numbers, Evo." [42/10] "Only that much?" He tilted his head in confusion. "I''ve only killed small animals so far. It seems that I overestimated this body''s ability." "Well, My fitness isn''t the best considering the previous Huo Yuhao never developed his muscle and ate any nutritious foods. Thank God I consumed the Sky Dragon Body Pill, or I''ll be out of breath when killing ten animals..." He waved the kitchen knife and added, "Let''s kill a few more and check mom''s condition in the mansion." An hourter, Huo Yuhao breathed heavily with a mature boar below his feet. "Evo." He said while storing the corpse in inventory. [You have killed 60 animals] [Do you want to finish Hunting Quest?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded, watching the system panel change into a progression bar. [Estimating the reward based on the exceeded objective...] [...] [You have obtained 12 Iron Upgrading Tickets and 5x Random Herb] [You have received ck Pool Grass(F), Zoysia Grass(F), 100 hundred years old Ginseng(D), Holy Basil(F), and Fire Spirit Grass(E+)] [Do you want to check out the herbs?] "Okay." Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes at the random herbs and pondered for a moment about something. [Name: ck Pool Grass] [Type: Herb] [Grade: F] [Description: Basic alchemy ingredient with a weak paralysis effect] [Name: Zoysia Grass] [Type: Herb] [Grade: F] [Description: Basic alchemy ingredient to enhance other''s herb effect] [Name: 100 years old Ginseng] [Type: Herb] [Grade: D] [Description: A rare tonic that could significantly enhance one''s immunity and health] [Name: Holy Basil] [Type: Herb] [Grade: F] [Description: A basil with a pain-numbing effect and has mint-like smells] [Name: Fire Spirit Grass] [Type: Herb] [Grade: E+] [Description: A medicinal herb, consuming it would make one resistant to fire for a short amount of time] "Heh." Huo Yuhao''s alchemist skill is activated when seeing these herbs. It''s not hard for Huo Yuhao to think about a few medicines he could make on top of his head. "They are great for random rewards, though my luck clearly affected some of it. Hmm, I could make a paralysis drug and fire-resistant tonic." Iron Upgrading Ticket upgrades everything from F grade below to E-D Grade with a 50% chance and another 50% chance to be C Grade. It''s the only Upgrading Ticket with the same odds, which is nice because Huo Yuhao''s luck could affect it easily. The scale should tip-off to C Grade easily. Huo Yuhao walked to the nearest pond and said, "Evo, upgrade these herbs with Iron Upgrading Tickets." [Using Five Iron Upgrading Tickets on ck Pool Grass, Zoysia Grass, 100 years old Ginseng, Holy Basil, and Fire Spirit Grass] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired ck-Tined Grass(D+), Royal Zoysia Grass(C), 420 years old Ginseng(C), Sacred Basil(D+), Tiny Ifrit Grass(C)] "Not bad." Huo Yuhaomented while washing himself with the pond''s water. These herbs'' potency increased significantly. ... At the Star Luo Imperial City''s outskirts, Huo Yuhao wandered through the small market and stopped at the butcher shop. He dropped some rabbit meat on the pretense of being told by his mother to do an errand, tricking the butcher smoothly. Huo Yuhao got one silver coin and some bronze coins, which he used to buy bad-quality fabric from the street. When Huo Yuhao purchased sewing kits, a few people on the way talked about Duke White Tiger. "Hey, have you heard that Duke White Tiger is catching people on the border near the Sun and Moon Empire?" "Eh, I thought we didn''t have bad blood with the Sun and Moon Empire?" "Nope, You''re right. We didn''t have bad blood with the Sun and Moon Empire, but the Duke White Tiger caught some shady people on the border. They seemed to be testing something." "The Duke won''t return for at least a month, dealing with those shady people." Huo Yuhao frowned and kept walking down the street, hearing the same news six times. He could assume this was true, but something was weird. A month is a long time for Duke White Tiger to stay on the border, which means he could use this chance to run away with his mother. "Sun and Moon Empire... Spirit Guidance Devices, the start of technology in Douluo Dalu''s series." He mumbled solemnly. No one besides him and people from Sun and Moon knew about the Mass-Killing Weapon. He remembered a female character who became the antagonist in this awful story, "Ye Xishui. The Death God Douluo." "Whatever, I have to return first." Huo Yuhao entered an alley and disappeared quickly. --- White Tiger Mansion --- Huo Yuhao arrived at the White Tiger Mansion and saw a blonde kid walking around arrogantly with some of hisckeys. "What''s this cliche young master''s encounter?" He sighed in defeat. Dai Huabin is Huo Yuhao''s half-brother, the son of White Tiger''s Duchess. He''s a prideful individual who values his pride and honor over everything else shown at a young age. (An: I changed mistress to duchess from now on) Huo Yuhao nced at the block near Dai Huabin and noticed his mother walking with a heavy basket. What a perfect chance to make Huo Yun''er realize this ce is not pleasant for them. "Acting it is." He brushed some dirt on his clothes and changed his expression into a cheerful look. He waited for the perfect timing and walked in front of Dai Huabin and hisckeys. ... ~ Huo Yun''er Pov ~ I walked through the block with a heavy basket of rag-like clothes in my hands. With slow and steady steps, I approached the left-wing gate and saw Dai Huabin with his friends. "Hao''er!" My eyes widened in horror. "Hey, you there!" Dai Huabin''s friend shouted at Hao''er. My son was caught off guard and entered a stance, raising his hand at Dai Huabin and his friend. "This is not good." I dropped the basket, hoping to break this situation off. However, it was toote. Dai Huabin''s friend grinned wickedly andunched a punch at Huo Yuhao''s guts. I couldn''t do anything and watched my son cough a mouthful of saliva, falling to the ground. "Argghhh..." Huo Yuhao loudly groaned while clutching his stomach. His painful expression makes my heart sink into an abyss. "Hehe, Weak as usual. You''re going to be a good sandbag, servant boy. What do you think, Huabin?" Theckey stared at Dai Huabin cheekily. "Sure. I could practice my boxing technique." Dai Huabin answered indifferently. Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin are supposed to be half-brothers, but those arrogant blue eyes aren''t even close to Duke White Tiger''s eyes. There is remorse or even slight pity for my Hao''er. I walked in front of them and kneeled, "Young master Huabin, please spare my son. I-It''s my fault for not forbidding him to go here!" Dai Huabin gazed at me coldly because the duchess should have told him I was a dirty maid who slept with Duke White Tiger. It''s not a secret inside the White Tiger''s Mansion. ''Please, leave my son alone.'' I gritted my teeth silently. Dai Huabin crossed his arms and replied, "Sure. I''ll spare your son if you lick my new shoe." "Oh, how wicked~!" "Go, lick his shoe, you dirty servant~!" Theckey heated thement, making things worse for me. It''s hard to believe a group of children could say such a thing, but something like this is normal. I lowered my head and saw a blue blur move toward Dai Huabin at incredible speed. "Leave my mom alone!!" Hao''er shouted while punching the young master of White Tiger''s n. BAM! "Weak." Dai Huabin kicked my son on the head. He didn''t stop and stomped him a few more times. "HAO''ER!" I was held by theckeys, watching my son gets tortured. They used spirit skills on me, which restricted my movement. ~ Normal Pov ~ ''This is boring but effective.'' Huo Yuhao thought while feeling worm-like stomps from Dai Huabin. He smiled inside and watched his mother''s horror because this should make her realize they were nothing but ants in this ce. After a few minutes, Huo Yuhao is lying on the ground with a bloody nose as Dai Huabin leaves with a smirk on his face. "Hao''er, t-this is my fault." Huo Yun''er hugged Huo Yuhao with tears running from her eyes. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes andmented, ''This is far from over, mom. You should have felt more pressured and anxious from now on.'' ''Well, I hope you forgive me in the future.'' Chapter 7: Miserable Chapter 7: Miserable --- Chapter 7 --- At the cottage. Huo Yuhao squeezed a clean cloth into his nose and watched Huo Yun''er searching for medicine to treat him. However, they are too poor to buy ointment for bruises. "Mom, you still have work to do, no? I''ll be fine. You can go back to the Mansion." Hemented naturally, causing the adult woman to tremble in anxiety. "Looks, that arrogant kid didn''t scratch anything besides my nose. I''m quite durable, hehe~." "Also, they might be mad at you for leaving too long." Those words hurt Huo Yun''er more than Huo Yuhao because a mother can''t see their children getting harmed. And the worst part was she couldn''t do anything about it. She''s a weak woman with aplicated life. "H-Hao''er. M-Mom will be back as quickly as possible." Huo Yun''er forced a smile while clenching her fist in frustration. Huo Yuhao smiled back and saw Huo Yun''er walk to the front door. His expression immediately returned to normal when she disappeared. "Hopelessness and Anxiety. Let''s see if your hope for White Tiger Duke could help us." Hemented while leaning on the wall. ... Huo Yun''er returned to the White Tiger Mansion and suddenly was greeted by the head maid. She was terrified because this woman could do something horrible to her. "Oh, Yun''er. Where were you a few minutes ago? I thought you were doing theundry?" The head maid questioned with a weird gentle smile on her face. Huo Yun''er doesn''t like this feeling and situation because the head maid never smiles at her. She lowered her head in worry and replied, "I was treating my son''s injuries, ma''am. He fell from the stairs..." The head maid frowned andmented, "Stairs? Woah, your son is more worthless than you~. Well, I want you to finish theundry quickly, or I''ll cut your food for this month." "R-Right away, Ma''am!" Huo Yun''er ran away to where she left the basket, failing to notice the head maid''s smile had be a yful grin. Huo Yun''er came to the block and found the basket, sighing in relief. However, everything inside the basket had gone when Huo Yun''er checked it, which left her stunned for a moment. A couple of guards passed her away and talked about something among themselves. "Um, sir. Do you see the clothes inside this basket?" She asked politely. "Clothes? Ah, I''ve seen a maid burning the clothes in the left-wing''s gate. They said the clothes were waste rags in the storage, so they don''t have any use for it anymore." One guard answered casually. It''s not unusual to see something like that happen. Huo Yun''er stared at the guard in disbelief and muttered, "No way... They should have learned my task on the clothes." "They did this on purpose." "Well, see you,dy. We have to go round." The guard waved his hand and walked away with his friends. Huo Yun''er nced at the basket and grimaced because she couldn''t possibly fill it back. ''What should I do?'' She thought solemnly to herself. Everything seemed to fall apart one after another for her. Left with no choices, Huo Yun''er picked the basket heavily and went to the maid quarter to meet the head maid. As Huo Yun''er stepped into the quarter, some ridicule and giggles greeted her instantly. They didn''t even bother to hide it anymore behind her back. Huo Yun''er breathed in to calm herself and walked into the head maid''s office. "Ma''am, I couldn''t finish theundry because some maid burned the clothes on the left-wing side of the Mansion. Please forgive me." She reported while clutching the basket. "Do you have proof?" The head maid narrowed her eyes. "Are you sure you''re not the one who burned those clothes?" "I won''t do such a thing, Ma''am!" Huo Yun''er raised her voice a little, but it was enough to trigger the head maid off. The head maid grabbed over a wood stick and waved it to Huo Yun''er. "Did you raise your voice at me?! Huo Yun''er, you needed to be disciplined!" She repeatedly smacked the mother on the leg. Huo Yun''er fell to the ground and groaned silently because this was not too painful for her. She has lived through hell and hardship for six years, and experiencing some beating won''t make her down so easily. After fifteen minutes, Huo Yun''er kneeled on the ground with bleeding calves. The head maid is a Spirit Elder with spirit rank level 36 and three spirit rings, so her attack is more than people could handle. Her stick smacks could tear someone''s skin apart. "Do you have something to say about this, Yun''er?" The head maid huffed and smiled at her. Huo Yun''er pressed her head on the floor with great difficulty and replied, "N-No, Ma''am. It''s my fault for being extremely rude to you." "B-But, can you please not cut off our food ration?" "About that, I''m not the one who decided to cut off your food ration, Yun''er. The Duchess actually was displeased with your poor performance this month and ordered me to do it." The head maid shrugged like this was no big deal for her. She was doing her duty. Huo Yun''er stared at the head maid with a shocked expression on her pale face. She endured many things in the past six years, and the Duchess has never directly moved toward her. There is some light bullying, but she never minds it much. No, they haven''t even seen each other for a while now. Thest time Huo Yun''er met the Duchess was three years ago when White Tiger''s ceremony wonderfully was held in the main Mansion. The head maid yawnedzily and shouted, "Somebody! Please take Yun''er away. I don''t want to see her face anymore today." Huo Yun''er doesn''t resist and feels her world crumbling slowly into oblivion. She was dragged like a broken doll to the forest gate and stared at the sky silently. What am I doing wrong? White Tiger Duke is her childhood sweetheart, and they fall in love with each other for years. Huo Yun''er never thought herself worthy of bing his wife or even concubine, considering her origin as a mere maid. Yet, there is this tiny hope for her. ''Is it wrong to hope for a better ce to live? No, I don''t mind living in a horse stable, but can Hao''er at least grow healthy without any shorings? I don''t ask much...'' She felt the taste of mud on her lips. It''s raining. Huo Yun''er remembered saying she would return as quickly as possible to her son. She lifted herself and hissed in pain because her bleeding calves stung. "I have to go home, or Hao''er will be worried..." She whispered to herself while grabbing a random stick. Huo Yun''er supported herself with the stick and slowly walked into the forest. Her mind ran through so many things and imagined different scenarios. "Mom, When I awakened my martial soul... Can we leave this ce?" Until one thought shed in her head. She stopped and felt the rainwater touching her body, shivering because of the cold. ... Huo Yun''er stayed in the same position for an hour, thinking about her son''s words. "Dai Hao..." She muttered White Tiger Duke''s name. "When will you return? It''s been six years since I saw your sharp face. And I''m afraid I can''t hold myself together anymore." Stressed out, Huo Yun''er quickly caught a horrible fever, and her face flushed like a ripe tomato. And when one has extreme heat, hallucinations ur most of the time. Huo Yun''er stumbled into the mud and hallucinated herself on grasnd with White Tiger Duke, leaning on each other under the starry night sky. They were very intimate and enjoyed the time even though that day was cold. "Yun''er. I have to go to the battlefield soon. Will you wait for me here? I promise everything will be fine when my royal mission is over." Dai Hao grasped her hand gently. His voice makes Huo Yun''er feel butterflies in her stomach. Huo Yun''er never thinks deeply about Dai Hao''s promise at the time and is swallowed by happiness. She was too naive, assuming everything would be fine. No, everything is NOT okay. Everything bes horrible when Dai Hao or the White Tiger Duke isn''t around. And the only thing that makes her strong so far is Huo Yuhao''s existence. His presence is a coping method to keep her sanity. "Empty promise..." "Empty words..." "It''s sinful for being weak." Huo Yun''er grumbled while feeling mud flowing on her face. Her vision bes blurry under the heavy rain, making her unable to see clearly. A child silhouette suddenly stood in front of her. "Look what they are doing to you, mom." A cold voice akin to a devil''s whisper entered her ears. "Not a single of them cares about us. None..." "Hao''er, I-I''m sorry." She closed her eyes and fainted. ... ... "Evo, give the Albino Nine-Tailed Fox Legacy to my mother." Chapter 8: Yaes Legacy Chapter 8: Yae''s Legacy --- Chapter 8 --- Huo Yuhao slowly brought Huo Yun''er on his back. He returned to the cottage and kicked the door with his small leg, forcing the shabby wooden door apart. As Huo Yuhao ced his mother on the bed, he fed her with a senzu bean. A pure white crystal appeared on his left hand and emitted a dim blue light. It is the Albino Nine-Tailed Fox Legacy. [Name: Albino Nine-Tailed Fox Legacy] [Type: Legacy] [Grade: S] [Description: A deity loathed by her race, having congenital blue fire and a divine sense that tricks heaven''s judgment. When one inherited this legacy, legend said they would lose themselves in infinite fantasy] [Requirement: A Spiritual-based Martial Soul] Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but shake his head at the description and requirement because Huo Yun''er fit them very well. He hadn''t seen her cry for a very long time as she stayed determined for six years. "You''ve been strong, mom. It''s okay to cry now." Hemented while crushing the crystal into dust, pouring it into her body. [Trial has started] ... Huo Yun''er felt warmth spreading over her body, and everything seemed to bepletely white. She opened her eyes and saw a forest with countless weird white trees and fluorescent blue leaves. "Where am I?" Huo Yun''er mumbled to herself. She walked calmly through the path that seems lead her to another ce within this forest. A few minutester, she arrived at the beautiful blueke and noticed a small ind in the middle of it. Cherry blossom trees decorated the ind with such a grand sight, painting the water with pink petals. Huo Yun''er couldn''t believe her eyes because she had never seen such scenery. The Duke White Tiger Mansion was her home since small, and she rarely goes outside. If she recalled correctly, the head maid prohibited her from buying anything in the market. "What a pitiful child~..." A calm yet soothing voice appeared in theke, causing Huo Yun''er to look around in confusion. Huo Yun''er was alerted by this voice and asked, "Who''s there? S-Show yourself-!" As Huo Yun''er finished her words, a white silhouette with a pinkish shade shed from behind andnded on the small ind. Her eyes slowly widened because the voice was from a majestic nine-tailed white fox with some pink shade on its fur. "Hello, Child. Nice to meet you." The nine-tailed fox opened its mouth. "My name is Yae. The Blue me Deity of Heavenly Fox''s n." Meanwhile, Huo Yun''er was horrified because only one hundred thousand years old spirit beast was capable of talking. She thought it was only a legend and bedtime story, but this encounter was only possible with such a powerful spirit beast. "Um, my name is Huo Yun''er. Ma''am?" Huo Yun''er returned the greeting back with sweat on her forehead, causing the nine-tailed fox to giggle in amusement. Since Huo Yun''er entered this ce, the nine-tailed fox has been watching her meticulously. The Mystic Forest appeared based on one''s character, and the blue leaves on the trees showed that this woman was remarkably calm andposed. However, the cherry blossom on the Heavenly Fox''ske showed that she was seeking love despite the struggle. The "Wrong." love was hurting her more than ever. The nine-tailed fox couldn''t help but giggle more because the first person who received her legacy was simr to her former self. "Well, you certainly have a beautiful name," Yae said naturally. "Then, Huo Yun''er. Do you know why you''re here?" The nine-tailed fox returned. Huo Yun''er shook her head and replied, "I don''t know... I fainted in the middle of the rain, and that''s thest memory I could muster to remember." "Your son carried you home. He''s also the one who gives you this chance. A chance to survive longer in your cruel world because your Qi Luck is one of the worst I''ve seen in the whole millennia." Yae answered while tapping the water with her paw, showcasing the moment Huo Yuhao slowly brought her home on theke like a projection. Huo Yun''er watched the moment and grimaced because Huo Yuhao could catch a cold. Her son''s expression is also not like usual. It''s cold and filled with annoyance. "In short, You''ve be my legacy inheritor." Yae arrived in front of Huo Yun''er. Her sheer beast-like size is ten times that of the adult woman. "How did my son obtain your legacy?" Huo Yun''er questioned with a sigh. It''s still unbelievable to her. Yae stared at her and replied casually, "About that, I also don''t know. I awakened from my deep slumber a few days ago." The mood bes awkward because none of them opens their mouths for a while. Huo Yun''er was still confused and tried her best to absorb information from Yae. Yae yed around with Huo Yun''er blonde hair and braided them skillfully, waiting for her to wake up from the shock and confusion. "Your legacy... What actually will happen to me?" Huo Yun''er muttered while staring at Yae''s pink eyes. Yae waved her paw and said, "You''ll ept my blood and strength. Of course, with a cost, nothing is free." "I''ll also train you here for one hundred years minimum." "I can''t do that! Hao''er is waiting for me..." The mother shouted with a desperate expression. ... ... "I-I''m sorry..." "Heh." Yae curved her lips and smirked wickedly. "Are you sure you worried about your son the most? You only wanted to meet White Tiger Duke, No?" "He''s more important than your son! Admit it!" "It''s not like that..." Huo Yun''er literally was caught off guard. However, Yae doesn''t care and added, "What a terrible liar. I know deep inside your heart that Huo Yuhao''s existence is nothing more than a recement for White Tiger Duke." "You even relieve yourself while watching your son''s sleeping face..." Huo Yun''er blushed and tried her best to counter Yae''s words, but nothing came out clearly, "I-I... I don''t..." "It''s useless to deny it, Huo Yun''er." Yae flicked the woman''s forehead yfully. "I know all of your deepest and darkest fantasies." "Your secret is like a book to me." Huo Yun''er trembled and said, "Even if you say so, I can''t stay here for one hundred years. I have to take care of my son." "Not take care of yourself?" The nine-tailed foxmented, making Huo Yun''er blush even more. "Don''t worry about that because time flies faster here. I believed One hundred years is equal to a few days outside." "Well, first and foremost, my inheritor. You''re fucking dumb!" ... Huo Yuhao dried his mother with a towel and covered her body with a new nket he made with low-quality fabrics. "Evo, Upgrade this nket with an Iron Upgrading Ticket." He instructed casually. [Usine one Iron Upgrading Ticket on the ordinary nket] [Upgrading] [...] [You have received a Comfortable nket] He nced at the Comfortable nket''s system panel and nodded because his mother won''t lose body heat with this. "Also, give me a Quest." He added indifferently while using the goblin mask again. "I have to deal with some trash in the White Tiger Mansion. They''ve been too far on my mom." [Ding! A Quest] [Name: Small Punisher] [Objective: Kill three maids who sabotaged Huo Yun''er works(0/3)] [Reward: 9 Iron Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Knife(E Grade)] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao lifted the kitchen knife in his hand. Chapter 9: Assassination and Interrogation Chapter 9: Assassination and Interrogation --- Chapter 9 --- Huo Yuhao jumped from tree to tree and arrived at the deep forest entrance with no one guarding it. Being outcasted from the White Tiger Mansion is a good thing because only a few people or none watch over them. "They would have never thought of A child causing chaos in the mansion." A cold smirk appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. He tested the limit with his mother, and the treatment got worse than he expected. He disappeared from the tree andnded on the tile, watching the busy night scenery of the White Tiger Mansion. Everything seemed cheerful and full of joy here,pletely different from the cold cottage where Huo Yun''er and he had to live. Huo Yun''er jumped to the roof and used Kenbunshoku Haki to sense everything within fifteen meters radius. His mind quickly filled with information, but it wasn''t enough to make him feel a headache. "Not here. This ce isn''t the maid quarter where White Tiger Mansion''s maids lived. What an annoyingly vast mansion." Hemented while kicking the tile and jumping to another roof. Huo Yuhao stopped at some ces and discovered the maid quarter a few minutester. The rain hadn''t stopped yet, so his entire body literally was soaked because of it. However, his blue eyes still shone indifferently. Unlike others, Huo Yuuhao didn''t mind the coldness of the heavy rain. It''sfortable instead and makes his mind at ease than usual. "Where are you guys?" Huo Yuhao''s eyes scanned through the entire maid quarter, pushing his Kenbunshoku Haki to the extreme limit. "Did you look at Huo Yun''er expression this noon? It''s so funny~!" "She was embarrassed by the head maid afterward, getting beaten up by a stick like a wild dog." "Pfft-, I hope Huo Yun''er doesn''t bark at uster, knowing we are the ones who burned the clothes in the basket." Huo Yuhao''s smirk turned into a full-blown grin when hearing these voices. "Found you guys..." He whispered while dropping into a bush. He leaned on the wall and continued to hear nonsense from the maids. They wore Chinese Maid outfits, having different colored sash based on the court they were assigned to by the head maid. ording to Huo Yuhao''s memories, the white sash is for the maid in the kitchen. The red and blue were appointed to do theundry and clean the bedrooms. These maids aren''t too old, around their twenties. "Well, the head maid is calling me." The white-sashed maid said with a yawn. "I''ll be back in fifteen or twenty minutes, don''t use all the hot water, okay? I want to take a warm bath too." "Sure, sure. Give us a snack when you return." The red-sashed maidmented while sitting on the bed. The blue-sashed maid''s face brightened and continued, "I want some red bean cookies!" "What a glutton." The white-sashed maid sighed in defeat. "Fine, I''ll take some snacks from the kitchen." As she left the living room, the red-sashed maid went to the bathroom and had a hot bath, leaving the blue-sashed maid alone in the bedroom. Huo Yuhao took this chance and picked some fabrics from his inventory. "Eh?" The blue-sashed maid tilted her head in confusion because the window opened for some reason. The wild wind forced some rainwater into the room. "Oh no, who the hell opened the window!" A blue blur shed within her peripheral vision, and before the red-sashed maid could react, a leg smacked her neck from behind. She wasunched to the bed and gasped for air, feeling a thick cloth wrapped around her mouth. "Sshhh, I don''t want to kill you too early." A childish yet cold voice entered her ears. The blue-sashed maid struggled even more, and Huo Yuhao stabbed her thigh with the rusty kitchen knife. It was shallow but enough to make her groan painfully. "I said shut up, woman." Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue in annoyance. His old personality came out a little. "Be a good girl, or I''ll stab you again." Specter is a cold-hearted mercenary who doesn''t care about his target''s gender. He killed too many people and never gave a shit about their looks. Huo Yuhao quickly tied the blue-sashed maid onto the bed and walked to the bathroom carefully, sensing the other maid with his Kenbunshoku Haki. She was busy treating her hair and unaware an unknown guy had entered the room. "Who''s there? Ling, I''m still in the bath!" The red-sashed maid shouted. "Wait for your turn, geez." "Kyaa!" She was about to yell some more, but a pair of small hands suddenly pulled her onto the floor. Huo Yuhao utilized Busoshoku Haki and used a dirty cloth to cover her mouth, forcing the maid to gag profusely. She couldn''t grasp the reality around her and felt someone slowly dragging her into the living room. The blue-sashed maid''s eyes widened when seeing her friend getting dragged like an animal by Huo Yuhao. He threw her onto the floor beside the bed and crossed his arm, giving off a killer vibe. "Well, let''s start the interrogation. From now on, I''ll do a yes and no session with you two, nod your head for yes and shake your head for no. Answer me honestly, or this rusty knife will cut open your skin." Huo Yuhao took a chair and sat casually. ... ... "Do you know who I am?" Huo Yuhao asked while ying with the rusty kitchen knife. They shook their heads violently and stared at the rusty kitchen knife with horror in their eyes. "Good, I''m Specter. Nice to meet you." He smiled behind the goblin masked and continued, "Next. At noon, a few maids burned some waste clothes on the left-wing side of the mansion. It''s you guys, right?" The blue-sashed maid nodded, but the red-sashed maid shook her head this time. Huo Yuhao picked up the random pebbles he stored in the inventory and threw one at the liar''s eyes. "Mhhn-!!" A painful groan escaped the blue-sashed maid''s mouth. "I thought I warned you guys already? Answer me honestly, or I''ll kill you with these pebbles." He juggled ten small pebbles casually. After a few minutes of the session, the maids looked at Huo Yuhao like he was a monster. He questioned them about a bunch of things and threw them with pebbles when lying. Those pebbles hit their vital organs, making them feel incredible pain. "Oh, well, I got nothing useful from those dirty mouths." Hemented while ncing at the clock on the wall. "Your friend should return soon. I''ll finish you guys now." Huo Yuhao shed their necks and waited for the white-sashed maid to return. And a minuteter, she arrived at the room with a tray of snacks. Unfortunately for her, she didn''te with anyone. "I''m back, Ling? Yan?" The white-sashed maid called for her roommate but weirdly was greeted with silence. As she entered the bedroom, Huo Yuhao whistled and greeted her yfully, "Hey there, I''m here to talk about your extended life warranty. You''ve not paid the oxygen for a few months, ma''am." "WHO-!" Before the white-sashed maid could even shout at Huo Yuhao. He flicked a pebble with Busoshoku Haki to her throat, stunning her for a moment. Huo Yuhao used Busoshoku Haki on his leg and moved quickly toward the white-sashed maid, but a yellow spirit ring suddenly appeared out of thin air. A brown snake with red eyes manifested andunched a vicious liquid at Huo Yuhao. "Oh?" He dodged to the left and jumped to the ceiling, pushing himself once more to the maid. BAM! The white-sashed maid blinked and saw the ceiling with disbelief. Before she knew it, Huo Yuhao tackled her to the ground and nted a rusty kitchen knife on her shoulder. "Uugh-!" She groaned painfully, and a little hand covered her mouth. Huo Yuhao sat on her chest and asked, "So what are you talking about with the head maid? You must be proud for making someone else hurt, right?" "Ah, my bad. I covered your filthy mouth. How can you answer me?" He sighed while lifting his middle finger. "Talk, Or I''ll push this knife deeper into your shoulder." "I-I... Aarrgh!" The white-sashed maid stuttered, and Huo Yuhao added a little force on the knife. "The head maid is congratting me for sabotaging Huo Yun''er task! She said a good job for making that dumb whore know her ce!" She answered with fear in her voice. "And?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head because there should be more. She shivered and continued, "F-From now on, the duchess will cut off Huo Yun''er food rations and forbid her from getting any food from the kitchen. If we caught her red-handed, stealing food. W-We can punish her ordingly." Huo Yuhao pped her face and asked indifferently, "And..?" "T-There is no more... Let me free, please." The white-sashed maid cried in fear. "Oh, I will. Don''t worry about it." He lifted his goblin mask and smiled at the maid, watching her expression turn into full-blown shock. "I will free yourself from this world. That''s it." "Huo- Kuh!" The white-sashed maid watched the rusty knife move to her head. [You have finished the Quest] [You have rewarded 9 Iron Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Knife(E)] "Upgrade the Random Knife(E) with one Bronze Upgrading Ticket." He replied while pulling the rusty knife off the maid''s head. [Using one Bronze Upgrading Ticket on the reward Random Knife(E)] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired a guaranteed A Grade random knife] [Do you want to take the reward?] "Heh, A Grade? Sure." Huo Yuhao checked the whole ce and discovered several gold coins and other items. After cleaning his marks on the crime scene, he carefully left and watched the system processing his reward. [Processing...] [You have received Baruka''s Dagger(A)] "Dagger??" [Name: Baruka''s Dagger] [Type: Dagger] [Grade: A] [Description: This dagger actually was once used by the warlord "Baruka." and infused with magic that reduces the weight of its wielder, allowing for greater agility] [Innate Effect: Speed +15%] "Does the effectst forever?" Huo Yuhao frowned for a moment. [The innate effect onlyst below level 50/Spirit King] He sighed andmented, "Of course it is." "Whatever, It''s a good weapon, and I can upgrade itter anyway." Huo Yuhao nced at the mansion and chuckled, "Tomorrow, I wonder what kind of expression the head maid has." "I''ve created some problems for her, hahaha." The forest was filled with childishughter, causing people who walked the area to feel dread. Huo Yuhao unknowingly created a rumor. After this, the lush woods behind the White Tiger mansion was called Laughing Ghost Forest. Chapter 10: High Human? Chapter 10: High Human? --- Chapter 10 --- The next day, White Tiger Mansion was in literal chaos because three maids oddly were murdered by someone without getting noticed. The guard couldn''t find anything suspicious in the room and hadn''t seen a shady person entering the Mansion Compound. Like Huo Yuhao anticipated, no one ced suspicion on him and his mother because they would never expect them to do it. What could a weak maid and her six years old son do? The White Tiger''s guard couldn''t find the killer and increased the security inside White Tiger Mansion. A few spirit masters with Spirit King Realm dispatched in every corner, patrolling with deep suspicion. And all those searchingsted for a few days and only led up to nothing. "The killer is among us." The White Guard''s captain said to everyone inside the White Tiger Mansion. ... In the forest, Huo Yuhao grilled some fish and watched his status panel with a weird look. [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Race: Human] [Age: 5(Almost 6)] [Cultivation Realm: None] [Martial Soul: Unawakened] [Skills: Craftsmanship, Cooking, Alchemist] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Dagger Mastery] [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(32), Bronze(7), Silver(3), and Gold(1)] Huo Yuhao has been living in this world for almost two weeks and trains himself diligently, gathering Upgrading Tickets. He even has reached B+ on Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki without using the Upgrading Tickets. Still, his spirit energy seemed weaker than the rest of his arsenal. First, Spirit Energy is native to Douluo Dalu''s universe. It''s the most basic "type of energy." anyone could cultivate to get stronger because almost everyone has had it since birth. However, not everyone can train it because they need to have a cultivable martial soul, and Spirit Power awakened at six when their Spirit Awakening ceremony. And there are some exceptions to the rule, like Bloodline Power and Spiritual Energy. Huo Yuhao obviously has more powerful Spiritual Energy than most people, but his Spirit Energy bnced that for being awfully weaker. He was annoyed by this fact andmented, "It has something to do with my spirit eyes'' mutation, after all. Unlike other Duke White Tiger''s sons, Huo Yuhao''s martial soul leaned more to his mother''s side." "Solution." Huo Yuhao muttered while thinking deeply about something. That race part in the status panel caught his attention, but gambling with unknown results isn''t his style. "I don''t have much time. I''ve met the requirements for Purple-med Divine Dragon Legacy, but I might fall into deep slumber like mom. Upgrading my race will enhance my overall arsenal because it covers many things." He breathed in and said, "Evo, use my Gold Upgrading Ticket on my race." [Excessive pain, spiritual shock, and physical alteration might ur. Do you still want to upgrade your race, Host?] "Well, the new notification works perfectly. And yes, upgrade my race." Huo Yuhao nodded naturally, preparing himself for the impact. [Using one Gold Upgrading Ticket on the Host''s race] [Upgrading...] [...] "Uugh." Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened because every part of his young body screamed in agony. He stumbled to the ground and coughed a mouthful of blood, feeling his bone grinding against his muscle. ... ... An hour and a halfter. [Congrattion, Host] [All your base attributes and talents have indirectly increased by fifty times] [You have be the first High Human in this universe] Huo Yuhao breathed heavily for a moment and muttered, "That was horrible." "Hmm??" He felt incredibly light and noticed his tiny hand had be slightly rger." than before. He rushed to the small pond near him and watched the reflection with a shocked look. [High Human is an advanced version of the human race, having more potential and talents. High Humans have a very adaptable physique to the environment, giving them an advantage in every situation] Near the small pond, a seven years old child stood with a cute yet handsome face. His short blue hair swayed gently under the sunlight, giving off a fresh atmosphere to his whole appearance. Even though he wore shabby clothes, they couldn''t hide his otherworldly look. Any adult woman can''t resist his charm and would try to pat him. "This..." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched. He wanted to throw a fit because his cute look didn''t match his overall persona, but he couldn''t do anything about it. At least he can use itter to trick some older woman. He washed his body in the small pond and noticed something growing "down." there. He chuckled in amusement and felt his Haki reach a higher stage too. His Kenbunshoku Haki hasn''t attained the future sight, but he could predict movement to get an inferior version. As for his Bososhoku Haki, Huo Yuhao noticed his hand quickly was coated with a more dense spiritual energy than before and had a deeper ck color. He remembered that hardening and imbuement should be invisible to people, but any high-leveled cultivator must have the ability to see Haki. Also, Huo Yuhao could feel Spirit Energy circting and refining itself inside his body. The High Human "Adaptable." physique is no joke because it is like a sponge that absorbs water(Spirit Energy) like no tomorrow. "Damn. What should I do next with this body? I can''t waste my time with simple training anymore. Still, I think basic training is essential for my current stage, and extremely developing muscles at a young age is not good for my future." [Your growth won''t be affected by training, Host] [High Human''s adaptable body erased any weakness in your previous body] "Is that so?" A grin appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because White Room''s training regiment was still nted deep in his memory. ording to his previous mother''s statement, he could reach the Perfect Human performance with it. "Human body holds so many secrets, training it brought the raw potential to the table. Pushing the limit is humanity''s dream from the beginning." [Kenbunshoku Haki(A)] [Busoshoku Haki(A)] Huo Yuhao brushed his short blue hair and asked, "Evo, can you tell me about my mom''s current condition?" [She''s halfway through the trial, Host] Evo answered with a dull tone. "Nice... I hope my mom finishes the legacy trial when my Spirit Awakening Ceremony is over." He smiled slightly. "I''ll devise a n so that we can get out of this damn ce without any problem." [Ding! A new daily Quest has given] [Name: Advance Training] [Objectives: Do 1000 sit-ups, 1000 pushups, 1000 squats, and followed by 62 miles or a 100km run] [Reward: 5x Bronze Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Apprentice ss Book] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "Challenge epted! Let me test this new physique." He pressed the Yes button and walked out of the pond. He began to push his limit and trained until evening, unaware fox-like eyes observing him from the cottage. "Hao''er, you''ve be more handsome and adorable~." A small whisper echoed in the cottage. ... A week passed quickly, and Huo Yuhao finished the Advance Training Quest eight times. He discovered the reward was not set in stone like the hunting quest and abused it for that eight days without stopping. With a single Senzu Bean, he couldst a very long time and won''t lose any energy. Of course, he tried his best to eat nutritious food and almost eradicated half of the animal poption in the forest. Well, he gives them his best thanks for increasing his strength to them. Huo Yuhao currently holds a saber made of the "hardest." wood in this forest and rushes forward while shing the air. A faint spark ignited the air and left a scorching mark along the way. The Burning to Destion, a rapid speed saber shes that could ignite the air and leave burning destion in the shape of a scorching mark on the opponent''s body. It could burn one''s body to ashes in the perfect stage. "All stages were easy to master, but something iscking." Hemented while looking at the wooden saber in his hand. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but frown and picked a towel from his inventory to wipe his sweat, walking back to the cottage. As he walked into the bedroom, a bright white light entered his vision. "Mom?" He looked at the bed, finding Huo Yun''er lying there with a calm expression. She has be more beautiful in the past weeks, and her blonde hair turned slightly luscious white with a pinkish shade. Some of her assets have also be bigger. World-ss female models in Huo Yuhao''s past life look like a jokepared to Huo Yun''er. Still, the shocking part about Huo Yun''er so far is her massive spiritual energy, rivaling Huo Yuhao''s in sheer quantity and quality. He didn''t know what kind of trial she went through, but it was fruitful. Huo Yuhao made a warm soup with rare herbs in the forest to support and enhance his mother''s bodily''s function. After all, Even with a Senzu bean, resting in bed for more than two weeks is quite harmful to one''s body. "Mom, I made warm soup for you." He sat on the bed and supported her back with his hand. "Eat it slowly, okay?" Huo Yuhao smiled gently and told her about his daily training, being a routine every time he fed her. And carefully exined how they should run away from this ce. "I love you, mom." He ced Huo Yun''er on the bed again and kissed her forehead. ... ... Yae''s legacy realm. "Do you still love White Tiger Duke after seeing your son''smitment to you? He does everything to take care of you. And even be strong so you guys could run away from this ce." Yaemented while staring at her inheritor. "On the contrary, besides some empty words, that guy hasn''t done much for you." Huo Yun''er watched the clearke with a smile on her face because Hao''er was indeed an ideal son. His lovely smile and gentle care so far make her heart flutter more than ever. (An: You know where this was going. Hehe, boys!) "This felt wrong..." Huo Yun''er heavily breathed while blushing hard. "He''s my son, you know~!" "I know!" Yae yelled with an excited expression. "That makes it even better." "Also, human morals don''t work on you two anymore because you inherited my position as a deity, and your son will be too soon." "Remember well, my student. Immorality is hot!" "Mm, Immorality is HOT!." Huo Yun''er nodded her head frantically in agreement. Chapter 11: Class and Emergency Quest? Chapter 11: ss and Emergency Quest? --- Chapter 11 --- After bing the High Human, Huo Yuhao discovered many perks and abilities from his new race. First of all, his sense was way better than before. He could sense any living being''s presence within twenty meters radius with his hearing alone. The second perk was simple yetplex because his thought process became five times faster. He could solve problems by simply shifting his focus to one topic. And using this new perk, he could widen his Kenbunshoku Haki to further boundaries. And thest perk was his new body. Huo Yuhao has never felt this amazed in his entire life because the adaptable physique is like a new stigma for him. No matter how much he pushed his body to the limit, he adapted to it a dayter. Still, adaptation isn''t an immediate process because he must rest to achieve it. "It''s like a discount version of Zenkai Boost." Hemented wryly once. "However, unlike Zenkai Boost when one needed to be brutally injured, my adaptation works by simply pushing my limit." ... At the Cottage. Huo Yuhao whistled casually and skillfully stirred a pot filled with medicinal herbs. "Sono chi no sadame~!" Hemented while pouring a red liquid into the boiling pot, making his concoction release a white smoke. He smiled and added, "Jojo~!" "Well, the Fire-Enhancing Potion is finished. It''s nice to have a fast-running mind because I can convert information and technique, implementing it without a problem to create a potion like this." [Name: Fire-Enhancing Potion] [Type: Consumable/Self-Made] [Grade: A+] [Description: An unique tonic filled with rich medicinal effects, and drinking it would enhance one''s fire resistance and affinity to a higher level. This tonic could increase one''s strength by three times] After gathering over 200 medicinal herbs in the past two weeks, Huo Yuhao began to use Master Alchemist Skill and create so many drugs/potions. He also invented different poisons but was more secretive about creating them because none should know his secret. "This is thest dose." Hemented while downing the Fire-Enhancing Potion for the sixth time. He felt a spark inside his stomach and dropped to the floor, meditating to absorb the medicine. A few minutes passed quickly, and the blue-haired boy exhaled white vapor from his mouth. Huo Yuhao''s body released an intense sweat and somehow gained a slight crimson gleam. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but chuckle and muttered, "The medicine property isn''t effective anymore, huh? My current physical strength is close to or even equal to Spirit Ancestor with four spirit rings." "That''s amazing, considering I could absorb over a Millennium years old spirit ring without any problem now." He stared at the window and saw the morning sky. "It''s morning already?" "Evo, Status." [Opening Status] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Race: High Human] [Age: 5(Almost 6)] [Cultivation Realm: None] [Martial Soul: Unawakened] [Skills: Craftsmanship, Cooking, Alchemist] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Dagger Mastery][Upgrading Tickets: Iron(51), Bronze(90), Silver(3)] Huo Yuhao smirked because the Advanced Training Quest was like a free gold mine for him. He manipted the objectives and trained more than he should have been, doubling and even tripling the amount with his adaptable physique. As a result, Huo Yuhao received more rewards. Advanced Training Quest gave 5 Bronze Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Apprentice ss Book. He doubled the objective before the quest was over and gained more. "Still, I only got four ss Books for some reason." He said while staring at his inventory. "Should I use them now? Evo, use Bronze Upgrading Tickets on the ss Books. I have a lot of them anyways." [Using 4x Bronze Upgrading Tickets on four Random Apprentice ss Books] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired Four Veteran ss Books] [Do you want to use them?] "Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded, feeling a rush of information in his head. He doesn''t get any headaches because his spiritual energy and mind have be stronger when bing High Human. [You have received Assassin, Avenger, Pdin, Archer sses] "Oh, these sses." He stared at the system panel with a surprised look. "Some of them sound cool, and others are self-exnatory." [Name: Assassin] [Type: ss] [Description: Assassins are specialists in stealth and quick execution of enemies from the shadows. They are unique for being able to gather their strength onto a powerful attack or to use weaker attacks in quick session] [Name: Avenger] [Type: Sub-ss] [Description: Avengers are a subss of warriors, They are A Warrior ss with a new fighting system. Avengers are almost simr to Sword Master, but the difference is that they are fire elemental based and have notable changes to skills when advanced to the next awakening] [Name: Pdin] [Type: Specialization ss] [Description: Pdin is one of the primary specialization sses of the Cleric, Pdins specialize in defense, melee attacks, and diverting damage to themselves. Their arsenal includes auras and protective relics for allies, and powerful melee skills against their foes] [Name: Archer] [Type: ss] [Description: Archers are experts in flexibility and marksmanship, using their bows-arrows and even their bodies as lethal weapons to enemies. They are known for their superior mobility and skills that can kill enemies while avoiding being attacked] [Do you want to equip new sses?] Evo asked with a dull tone. Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Do I have a limit on how many sses I can equip? Each of them has a different development, right?" [No, you don''t have a limit. The only problem you might have is utilizing the ss at the same time because of the weapon''s limitation] "Only that? It would be a piece of cake then." He equipped the ss and felt his entire body changing to amodate these new sses. He squirmed for a moment and felt his muscles be more refined than before. Huo Yuhao lifted his shirt and saw visible muscle growth with an amused expression. "Hmm?" He nced at Huo Yun''er on the bed and seemed to feel her stare. "Mom?" [She''s still in the legacy''s trial] Evo answered monotonously. Huo Yuhao shrugged and said casually, "Must have been a wind then." Unknown to Huo Yuhao, Yae and Huo Yun''er observed him very meticulously from the legacy realm. They stared at him like he was a delicious piece of meat. Huo Yuhao kissed Huo Yun''er on the forehead and went outside for some information. He wanted to know when "exactly." the Spirit Awakening Ceremony was held in the White Tiger Mansion. If possible, Huo Yuhao liked to find another ce to awaken his martial soul. "Being monitored is annoying." Huo Yuhao wore the goblin mask and slipped through the White Tiger''s guards. He sessfully goes to the city again and quickly searches for information. "Hmm??" The city was somewhat crowded and busy today, having more people on the street than usual. Huo Yuhao frowned and scanned the crowd with a solemn gaze. He approached the nearest beggar and asked, "What happened in this ce?" "You don''t know? The princess returned from her journey today, and people areing to greet her. It''s one in a hundred years'' chances because we haven''t seen the princess yet." The beggar answered with a weird expression. "Where have you been, boy? Under the rock all this time?" Huo Yuhao threw a copper coin at the beggar casually and chuckled, "Haha, something like that. Thanks for the information." "Is that so?" The beggar looked down and picked the copper coin. However, when he lifted his head again, Huo Yuhao disappeared into the crowd, leaving no mark. "Where is he??" ... Huo Yuhao sat on the roof and watched a carriage moving in the main street with some powerful spirit master guarding it. He used Kenbunshoku Haki to check the carriage and found it was empty. "What a cheeky princess." Hemented while noticing a small group moving in the crowd. Among them is a young girl with long purple hair, no more than seven years old. "Anyway, it''s not my problem. I have something else to do-." [Ding! Emergency Quest] [Name: Stop the Ambush] [Objectives: Kill two Assassins(0/2) and cure the princess''s poison(0/1)] [Reward: 2 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random ss-based Armor(B-A)] [Failure: Princess''s Death] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No?] "Evo, Are you serious?" Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in annoyance. "Tch, whatever. I can get two Silver Upgrading Tickets, so why not?" "I also can test my ss." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and used the Kenbunshoku Haki to cover a part of the city, sensing two ill intents following the princess''s group. He added Bososhoku Haki to his legs and jumped into the air. A sh of lightning escaped Huo Yuhao''s body, covering his presence from other''s senses. He arrived at the alley and saw the princess in the corner, raising her sword at the assassin. "Here we go." Huo Yuhao picked Baruka''s Dagger from inventory and waited for a chance. ... nk! "Who are you?!" Xu Jiujiu frowned while staring at the dark-covered person in front of her. "How did you know our n?" The assassin was quiet and leaped to the air, creating a wind sh toward the princess. He revealed a small hidden knife and threw it at her. Xu Jiujiu wanted to use her martial soul, but she somehow was attacked by another assassin. She coughed blood and looked behind, finding a woman in a dark robe. She was cornered and left with no choice but to destroy an orb inside her clothes. Fireworks soared to the sky and created a massive explosion with the royal family''s symbol. "I''ll not die!" She firmly said while summoning a beautiful-looking crown on her head. "You won''t." A voice echoed in the area. The assassin''s instinct screamed to dodge, but it was toote because his head was separated from his body by a white-gleaming dagger. [You have killed An Assassin] Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to the other assassin and kicked the ground, rushing to her. "Throw me your sword!" He shouted at the princess. Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth in confusion and threw her sword at Huo Yuhao. [You have activated the Avenger ss] Huo Yuhao grasped the sword handle and activated Avenger''s exclusive skills. Avenger Force, causing a wave of heat to explode from his body and reducing the enemy''s speed by 10%. "Graves." Huo Yuhao shed to the assassin and swung the sword at her. The assassin activated her martial soul and summoned a turtle with a thick shell. Her body was covered with a protectiveyer, glowing with dim green light. CLANK! "No..." Xu Jiujiu stared at this scenery with horror on her face. "Nice guard." Huo Yuhao smiled behind his goblin mask because Graves is a three-hit skill. He rotated his whole body and shed the barrier again, executing a powerful rising shst. CLANK! BAM! The sword shed through the assassin''s body, leaving bloody scenery in the alley. [You have killed an Assassin] Huo Yuhao sighed because that was his first fight in this world after training for so long. He threw the sword back at the princess and checked her condition with Kenbunshoki Haki. "Drink this." He said indifferently while picking up a potion in his inventory. "Eh, Um, what?" The princess reacted weirdly. Huo Yuhao was annoyed and shoved the whole potion into her mouth, jumping to the roof as his quest finished. He couldn''t stay here for too long because her previous signal must have called some "powerful." people. [You have finished the Emergency Quest] [You have received 2 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random ss-Based Armor(B-A)] "Sweet." Huo Yuhao hummed while returning to the forest. ... "Princess!!" A middle-aged woman arrived at the alley with a worried expression. "Are you okay??" "T-There was a blue-haired boy who wore a weird-looking mask. He saved me..." Xu Jiujiu slumped on the ground and stared at the sky. "He saved me..." Chapter 12: Ebony Arms Shroud-Eas Chapter 12: Ebony Arms Shroud-Eas --- Chapter 12 --- "I''m home." Huo Yuhao returned to the cottage with an excited smile because of the recent quest''s reward. He also got news about a small Spirit Awakening Ceremony in the city hall. [Do you want to open the Random ss-based Armor(B-A) Reward?] "Nope, not now." He replied while walking to the kitchen and creating a fire to make porridge. "Let''s talk about rewardster, Evo. I have to feed mom first." [Noted] Evo responded with a dull tone. ... After feeding Huo Yun''er carefully and wiping her "beautiful." body thoroughly like usual, Huo Yuhao started his daily training and went to the deepest part of the forest. This ce is rarely visited by people and has the smallest amount of animals because only strong ones live here. Huo Yuhao even saw a ten years old spirit beast a few times. "Dagger, Sword, Mace, and Bow-Arrows." Hemented while thinking about the new sses. These weapons needed to utilize these sses to their maximum value. Huo Yuhao tested Avenger ss already and experienced the amount of force he could generate. Unlike Assassin and Archer ss, which focused on agility and dexterity. This subss warrior is too straightforward. Meanwhile, Pdin ss is a tanker whose mobility is the same as none with Avenger ss. However, Pdin''s movement is more fluid than thetter. "This is interesting, four slightly different mechanics and fighting styles. Combining them would be difficult, but not impossible for me. Right, Evo?" He nced at the system panel. [Yes] "As for the armor..." Huo Yuhao grumbled in annoyance. "If only I had another Gold Upgrading Ticket. Using a Silver Upgrading Ticket would be a waste because I could only get S-Grade Armor at best." "What a crisis." [You can convert 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets to 1 Golden Upgrading Ticket, Host] Evo suddenly stated. Huo Yuhao inhaled his frustration and asked calmly, "I can do what? Again." [You can convert 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets to 1 Golden Upgrading Ticket, Host] Cracks! Huo Yuhao released intense spiritual energy and cracked the ground below him. He has lived in this world for almost three weeks, but only now. Yes, only now has this system informed him about this function. "Why didn''t you tell me sooner?" He stared at the system indifferently. [You didn''t ask, Host] Huo Yuhao sighed and questioned, "Whatever, I don''t want to ruin my good mood. Is there any more hidden function that I don''t know?" [There are Scan and Map functions categorized as sub-functions within the system] Evo answered naturally. "Good. Now let''s talk about the Upgrading Tickets Conversions function. Since I can turn 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets into 1 Gold Upgrading Tickets, I can do the same thing reverse, no?" [That''s correct] "Then, Show me my Upgrading Tickets." [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(51), Bronze(86), Silver(5)] Huo Yuhao covered his mouth because Iron Upgrading Tickets are good but too low grade for his liking. "Convert all of them to higher grades." He said after not so thorough consideration. [Converting Upgrading Tickets...] [...] [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(1), Bronze(1), Silver(4), Gold(1)] A wry smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because all his work for weeks turned into more valuable tickets. He shook his head naturally because getting attached to such momentary things was weird. He picked the Goblin Mask and told Evo to upgrade it with thest Iron Upgrading Ticket, watching the wooden mask shining under his gaze. [You have acquired White Goblin Mask(D)] "Oh, this is quite nice." Huo Yuhaomented while looking at the bone-like mask in his hand. It has a more intrinsic shape than the previous version, having a horn on the left top side. [Name: White Goblin Mask] [Type: Equipment/Mask] [Grade: D] [Description: A mask made of the rare White Goblin, having weak forest magic ced within it to hide the user''s identity from prying enemy] "It''s time for the main event. Evo, This is the moment, upgrade my random ss-based armor reward with Gold Upgrading Tickets." He excitedly said. "Give me SS Grade Armor." [Using one Gold Upgrading Ticket on the Random ss-Based Armor(B-A)] [Upgrading..] [...] [You have received a Random ss-Based Armor(SS)] [Do you want to open the reward?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao waited for the progress bar to appear. [...] [You have received Ebony Arms Shroud Type Destroyer(SS)] "Arm Shroud??" He tilted his head weirdly and continued, "From that trash-? Never mind. Give me the description." [Name: Ebony Arms Shroud] [Type: Armor Hundred/Destroyer] [Grade: SS] [Description: Ebony Arms Shroud is a Growth-Type Destroyer Hundred based on [Emilia Gudenberg''s Hundred "Innocence."], having the same ability to copy weapons. In addition, This newly developed hundred also have "Devourer." quality to be stronger by eating rare material] [Since this is a Soul Weapon, you need to have a connection with it, Host] [Do you want to form a soul connection with Ebony Arms Shroud?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao felt an odd click in his mind and watched a ck-dding dagger appear before him. It''s a 20 cm dagger with a tinum-colored handle and a red jewel embedded into it. There is also a faint silver aura surrounding it. "Does the hundred have a name?" [No] "I''ll call it Eas from now on, hehe." The ck-dding dagger released a silver shone and covered Huo Yuhao''s body, wrapping him with tight silver armor and four enormous de-like wings around him. "I guess these four de-like wings based on my sses?" Hemented while thinking about a heavy mace and shield for his Pdin ss. As he expected, one wing transformed into a pair of mace and shields. Huo Yuhao frowned weirdly because his grip bent the shield a little, which was not good for him. "Hmm, is it just me, or is this mace and shield fragile?" He asked the system. How could a weapon be weaker than the user? [Ebony Arm Shroud is currently at Level 0, which means the mace and shield actually are made of raw Spirit Energy and no other materials] "..." Huo Yuhao wanted to be mad but was too tired of this new annoyance. He could only sigh and ced Eas back to his soul, watching the sky with a depressed look. The armor peeled itself from Huo Yuhao''s body because the "main." part returned to his soul. He was happy to get another SS Grade item but annoyed because he couldn''t use it yet. He needed rare material to level it up. "Should I feed Failure to Eas?" Huo Yuhao pondered this choice because the Blue Orichalcum in the Greatsword is clearly a rare material from the Overgeared Universe. Still, Failure alone is a good weapon with three skills and innate effects. The Baruka''s Dagger also came into Huo Yuhao''s thought, but the speed-increasing innate effect is too good to be sacrificed by him. After all, it''s effective until he reaches level 50. "Haa... The Spirit Awakening Ceremony would get held in two days. I have enough time to get rare material for Eas, leveling it up a few times." Huo Yuhao leaned on a tree, falling into deep thought. "Evo, how did your scan work? Can you search for rare material for me?" [Activating Search Mode] Evo responded quickly. Huo Yuhao''s Kenbunshoku Haki seemed to be activated indirectly by Evo, and another system panel with several different-colored dots appeared beside him. [Green Dots on the map are rare materials, Host] "Evo, you''re the best." Huo Yuhao grinned while running to the nearest dots. He looted the whole forest and discovered many rare herbs. And after "looting." until evening, he returned home in a better mood than before. ... A day has passed, and Huo Yuhao has demolished every rare material in the forest. He didn''t leave anything behind and took everything. Yes, everything, whether it''s useless or not for him. He also went to the city and checked the cksmith there for rare minerals, finding one or two that met his criteria. And finally, he leveled Eas to level 11 and gained another de-like wing. It seemed that Eas worked like Martial Soul and every ten levels advanced, another de-like wing would appear and increase the slot for a copied weapon. Well, Eas is a soul weapon. "You''re such a glutton." Huo Yuhaomented while staring at the ck dagger in his hand. Huo Yun''er had shown a sign of awakening because her spiritual energy began to solidify. She also moved her fingers slightly sometimes when Huo Yuhao fed her. And The White Tiger Mansion has be gloomier in the past days because the "Killer." haven''t been caught by the White Tiger''s guards. It left a bad taste in everyone''s mouth and fear of noting out. The duchess apparently hired an exorcist to purify ghosts from the mansion, making Huo Yuhaough for hours. Hrious. ... Huo Yuhao is currently at the tallest tree in the forest and made a sniper rifle with Eas. He aimed at the maid quarter or precisely the head maid''s office. "A modern weapon is the best for quiet assassination." He whispered while loading a poison-filled bullet into the chamber. He stared at the head maid through the scope and indifferentlymented, "You''re one of the main targets, head maid. Don''t thank me for sending you to hell." Swoosh! A quiet poof escaped the barrel, and the bullet flew at an incredible speed, piercing the head maid''s skull. The poison triggered upon contact with blood and caused the middle-aged woman to scream in agony, making every inch of her body melt into meat paste for one hour straight. It''s a slow and low process. "Hmph! You don''t get away easily for beating my mom, you old bitch." He canceled Eas''s ability, causing the bullet to disappear from the head maid''s head. And no one beside him would know how that middle-aged woman "brutally." was assassinated. He jumped from the tall tree andnded on the ground casually, whistling like he was doing daily chores a second ago. "Well, I have a legacy to tackle." Hemented while walking back home. "Hahaha, I wonder what kind of exorcist would you hire next, duchess~." Chapter 13: Nagas Legacy Chapter 13: Naga''s Legacy --- Chapter 13 --- Huo Yuhao frowned and stared at the deep purple-colored crystal in his hand. It is the Purple-med Divine Dragon''s legacy and supposedly a God''s Legacy too. And he prepared for the whole three weeks to take this legacy. [Name: Purple-med Divine Dragon''s Legacy] [Type: Legacy] [Grade: S+] [Description: Naga was the Chaotic Purgatory Dragon and lived in the chaos realm for millions of years, bing the Divine Dragon when the evil side wanted to devour him. His True Thunderfire grandly was known to be the bane of all evil and the "strongest." me in the Dark me Universe] "This is it." Huo Yuhao breathed in, increasing his grip strength slightly. Cracks! Swoosh! Dark clouds gathered in the sky and weed the bright day with heavy rain. Huo Yuhao was unaware of this fact and drifted into Purple-med Divine Dragon''s legacy realm. ... ... Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw himself standing over a tall cliff. He stepped back and found the tform was no more than 1-meter square, making his movement awkwardly limited. "Huh, to think I''d get into such a situation." Hemented while using Kenbunshok Haki to observe the area. He slowly looked up and discovered an enormous towering silhouette. "Damn..." [Name: Naga] [Species: Divine Dragon] [Cultivation: Level 140/Half-Step God King] Naga is an enormous western dragon with purplish ck scales all over his body. And has a long, serpentine neck and tail, along with a pair ofrge yet muscr wings. His head features four unique backward-facing horns, rows of erged teeth, and fin-like ears. (An: Naga''s appearance based on Fatalis from MHW) "Took you long enough, human''s child." The Divine Dragonmented with an amused sneer. "However, I can see that youe here prepared, unlike other idiots who rush in and expect good things." "My name is Naga. The Chaotic Purgatory Dragon of the Dark me Universe." "Err, thanks?" Huo Yuhao responded awkwardly. Naga lowered his head to Huo Yuhao and stared at him for two minutes. "Your soul is "exceptionally." strong and has more tenacity than an adult dragon, but your White Tiger''s bloodline is truly dirty." A sigh escaped his tooth-filled mouth. Huo Yuhao''s expression hardened for a moment because White Tiger''s bloodline was one thing he didn''t expect toe from this enormous dragon. "Are you going to erase this bloodline?" He asked naturally. "No. You haven''t realized this particr truth, but your body is the most amazing bloodline container in the universe. No matter how much water you pour into it, it won''t break because of the pressure." Naga replied with an envious chuckle. "Fusing my bloodline would be "extremely." difficult because usually, the container can''t adapt to it very well. They would explode before even tasting my Thunderfire." "But, I''m not?" Huo Yuhao added, to which the Divine Dragon responded with a nod. High Humans are an illogical race because of their adaptability, and some people in the distant universe even called them the God Race. "Yes, and I''ll be very straightforward. About my trial, you only have to endure my bloodline and Thunderme for a minimum of one hundred years. The longer you endure it, the more benefit you get from me." Naga smirked slightly and exined. "I warn you first, even with your god-like body. My Thunderfire would burn you continuously for years. Also, my fiery bloodline will torch you from inside to the deepest part of your soul." "Do it." Huo Yuhao returned casually. "Hmm??" The Divine Dragon blinked his eyes, actually caught off guard. The child shrugged his short shoulders and repeated, "I said do it. I''m not afraid of the Thunderfire sauna." "Do you think I''ll give up because of such a threat? I am always ready to put my life on the line when taking this legacy. I have someone to protect outside, sir dragon." "Hahaha! How amusing! Absolutely Amusing!!" Naga excitedly roared to the sky, staring at the minuscule-sized human child in front of him like he was a precious gem. (An: Subarashii!!) Huo Yuhao''s mouth opened in awe because the majestic Divine Dragon''s charisma somehow was ruined in his eyes. He sighed inside and waited for Naga to finish his loudugh. The whole legacy realm is shaking because of it. A few minutester, Naga cleared his throat and looked down at Huo Yuhao again. "Then, we''ll start the trial." He said with a fake deep voice. The Divine Dragon whispered something and summoned dark clouds in the sky. An enormous purple me ball dropped and swallowed Huo Yuhao''s body. Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened because the Divine Dragon wasn''t joking about the burned part. He gritted his teeth and sat on the cliff immediately, calming his mind from this torturing pain. [Your Pain Resistance reached level 15] [Your Fire Resistance reached level 11] [Your Fire Affinity reached level 12] Resistance and Affinity were part of Huo Yuhao''s status panel but actually were never shown because they are passively part of his body. Hearing Evo''s monotonous notification makes a smile appear on his face. "Good, breathe through your nose calmly and exhale everything back from your mouth. Felt the Thunderfire coursing on your skin." Nagamented naturally. He pricked his chest and sent a glob of blood into Huo Yuhao''s body. "Absorb my blood and experience the most brutal physical pain you ever had. It will form your arrogance and mindset against weak attacks, dulling your pain sensitivity and morale when facing the strong enemy." "Dragon is Prideful and Strong Creature. We were born strong and grew stronger with arrogance deep within their bones, harnessing that arrogance and controlling it like a calm sea." "Control it like a calm sea that would devour everything on your path." ... ... "Also, what''s your name, my inheritor?" Naga suddenly asked with a shifted tone. "GOD, FUCKING DAMN IT!" Huo Yuhao cursed while gazing at the enormous dragon. "Come on, Naga! You were so wise and profound a moment ago. Why are you breaking character so fast..." "I''m bored..." Naga returned casually. "Being dead for millions of years is hard for a Divine Being like me. I''m dead, but not at the same time because my soul is pretty much alive." "As long as my Thundefire still has a bit of spark, I''ll stay alive. That''s it." "Aih, My name is Huo Yuhao." The corner of Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched slightly. He gained augh from the Divine Dragon, causing the legacy realm to tremble again. And from that moment, Huo Yuhao bes friends with the Chaotic Purgatory Dragon. ... ... ... A few hundred yearster, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and sighed in relief because everything was alright now. [Your Pain Resistance reached level 101] [Your Fire Resistance reached level 120] [Your Fire Affinity reached level 123] Evo''s notification sounds echoed in his mind again. "Congrattions, Yuhao. You have absorbed my bloodline and Thunderfire perfectly." Naga praised while floating in the air. "We should hold a party, and I''d tell you an amazing story about how I became the Poke-Dragon Champion. It will motivate you to be stronger and give you a boost of youth." Huo Yuhao has listened to this same line over a hundred thousand times and replied, "Sorry, no thanks. I have enough of your story, Naga." "N-No way..." The Divine Dragon was speechless because his inheritor and best friend rejected him again. There have been 10400320 rejections this century. "How could you be this cold to me??!" "You''re the Purple-med Divine Dragon, Naga. Burn yourself with Thunderfire. It would warm your heart." Huo Yuhaomented with a chuckle. "..." Naga couldn''t believe his ears for a moment. Is this the legendary angst teenager phase for Huo Yuhao? Since the blue-haired child was so polite to him a few hundred years ago. "Don''t stare at me like that." Huo Yuhao stretched his body because he hadn''t moved much for a few hundred years. "Your story is not particrly refreshing anyway. You beat everyone with a one-hit move and be the champion. That''s it. I was sure you''re using that banned medicine called Extremely Rare Candy." "I''m not!" Naga countered while crossing his dragon arms. "I won fair and share. Everyone in the ck me Universe can confirm it." Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "They are dead." Naga was annoyed and returned, "Still, I''m not cheating! The dark dragons were the ones who cheated using Extremely Rare Candy. My experience and Thunderfire are better than them all." Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao could only wonder what kind of universe ck me Universe was. The Divine Dragon said the whole universe perished with him but never exined how that happened exactly. Huo Yuhao bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for everything, Naga. And before you''re rambling about how I shouldn''t bow like this. It''s out of respect." "d you remember that, Yuhao." The Dragon God responded with a grin. "Dragon''s Pride is one thing you cannot sully. It deeply was engraved on every dragon''s blood." "Well, it''s about time." He added while bing slightly paler for some reason. Huo Yuhao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" "My legacy is unique yet cliche in a way. When youpletely absorb my bloodline and Thunderfire, my whole being will disappear alongside this realm. And I''m happy because someone was finally able to do it." Naga smiled peacefully. "This is my end, the final rest." "You said thanks for everything before, right? I should be the one who said that to you. Thank you for everything, Yuhao." "It''s been fun to have a friend like you." Huo Yuhao smiled too and replied, "Yeah, me too." The Divine Dragon lifted his right arm gently and pushed his imperfect fist to Huo Yuhao, causing the air current to shift in the legacy realm. Huo Yuhao couldn''t butugh and fist-bumped the Divine Dragon naturally. "Goodbye, Yuhao." Naga''s silhouette slowly faded into the legacy realm. "Mm, Goodbye." Huo Yuhao nodded, tearing up slightly. ... ... "Hahaha, Got YOU! I finally caught you crying!!" The Divine Dragon reappeared andughed at Huo Yuhao. "..." Huo Yuhao. The blue-haired child stared at Naga and coldly said, "I''ll roast you and feed your corpse to Eas." "Hehe, you can''t. I''m dead already. BYE!!" Naga disappeared for real this time. Huo Yuhao face-palmed himself and muttered, "What a dumb dragon..." "Goodbye, bro." ... ... [You havepleted the legacy trial] [You have gained Naga''s Bloodline] [You have gained Naga''s Thunderfire] [You have be Sub-Race: True Dragon] [You have awakened Naga''s Martial Soul] [You have attained a new title, The Second Chaotic Purgatory Dragon] [Eas have leveled up to Level 21] [You have indirectly purified your White Tiger''s Bloodline] [You have be Sub-Race: White Tiger] [You have received Bloodline Ability: Demonic Changes] ... Huo Yuhao returned to the real world and saw that everything was still the same. Naga once said that the flow of time is faster in the legacy realm. "My body has be stronger." Hemented while stretching a little, feeling two bloodlines inside his body. "It''s weird but amazing at the same time." "Well, It''s not like I can train my body in the legacy trial. I can''t say otherwise about my Spiritual Energy, though." [Kenbunshoku Haki: SS+] [Busoshoku Haki: SS+] Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel and continued, "Andstly." [Haoshoku Haki: SSS] Chapter 14: Mommy?? Chapter 14: Mommy?? --- Chapter 14 --- Huo Yuhao was trapped inside the Naga''s legacy realm for 420 years "exactly." and took the trial given by the Divine Dragon firmly. He neverined and endured everything, even listening to Naga''s story. "That was fruitful." Hemented with a chuckle. "And I awakened the White Tiger''s bloodline, which enhanced my physical strength even further. The mutation most likely still urs to my martial soulter, but my starting point is much better than the original Huo Yuhao." He was excited because having a 100k years spirit ring won''t be a problem with his current base. The Spirit Eyes also will be more powerful than it should have been, having been influenced by Naga''s and White Tiger''s Bloodlines. "Evo, show me my status." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, thinking about the million years spirit ring from the legendary Daydream Ice Worm. [Opening Status Panel] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 6] [Race: High Human] [Sub-Races: True Dragon(+), White Tiger(+)] [ss: Assassin, Avenger, Pdin, Archer] [Cultivation Realm: None] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(+), Unknowns(Unawakened)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Dagger Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(21), Baruka''s Dagger(A), Failure(Locked)] [Upgrading Tickets: Bronze(1), Silver(4)] Huo Yuhao clicked on the additional tabs of his sub-races and watched the system panel expand slightly, giving detailed information about them. [True Dragons or Giant Dragons were the first dragons ever born in the universe, they wield enormous strength and power. Naga, Chaotic Purgatory Dragon, was the strongest true dragon in the ck me Universe, and you''re his inheritor, making you a true dragon in bloodline and essence] [White Tigers are one of the mythical beasts representing the autumn season and Metal element. Yet, the bloodline inside your body seemed to mutate and enabled White Tiger to use Light Element. White Tigers are known for their superior physical strength, and King of The Beasts] Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I have never seen White Tiger''s full potential in Douluo Dalu''s universe as all of them were side characters." "Let''s check Naga''s Martial Soul." He clicked on the Chaotic Purgatory Dragon. [Name: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon] [Type: Martial Soul(Blood)] [Description: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon is a unique Martial Soul passed to you. It doesn''t need Spirit Ring to be stronger each stage because Naga''s bloodline would condense Blood Ring for each breakthrough] [Innate Ability: True Thunderfire. An Absolute Fire Element with an excessively "powerful." purifying effect. And it''s known to be the Bane of All Evils] "Evil Spirit Masters, don''te near me." Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and summoned a small purple me, burning steadily above his palm. It''s the True Thunderfire, and he could hear sizzling thunderps from it. "Hmm, I want to try something..." He suddenly called Eas and created a moderately long sword to use the Avenger ss. A burning sensation spread from the deepest of his heart, increasing his strength several times for one minute. "Graves." Huo Yuhao moved forward and sliced the air, noticing purple mes spreading from his attack. He continued with another horizontal sh, finishing the move with a decisive rising cut. BAM! The air exploded rapidly and left three beautiful me rings around Huo Yuhao. It expanded and burned some trees into ck ashes. "Rip trees." Huo Yuhao said while staring at the Eas sword in his hand. It has excellentpatibility with Thunderfire and probably the same for other copies in the future because Eas slowly was tempered inside Naga''s legacy realm. "The more you know, Thunderfire is a versatile me, and I can even use it for alchemy, so creating high-tiered pills and medicine shouldn''t be too hard with it." "What should I do next? I haven''t awakened my other martial soul yet." Huo Yuhao walked back to the cottage, thinking about his Spirit Eyes. As Huo Yuhao pushed the front door, a melodious voice entered his ears. "Hao''er, wee back~!" A soft body crashed onto Huo Yuhao and hugged him tightly. [Huo Yun''er has finished her legacy trial] A gorgeous woman hugged Huo Yuhao tightly. She was over 6 feet with a lust-inducing body and asset that "easily." made other women jealous. And Her luscious pale blonde with some pinkish shade stranded to her bountiful hips. ''Damn! Mom has be more beautiful again.'' Huo Yuhao felt his little face stuck in a valley. It would be a lie if Huo Yuhao said he wasn''t interested in his mother because no woman was close to her in anything. Huo Yun''er is a good mother and beautiful woman, but her womanly charm hasn''t disappeared. No, it bes more dangerous after she receives the Albino Nine-Tailed Fox Legacy. "Mom-!" Huo Yuhao was about to say something, but Huo Yun''er suddenly seized his lips hungrily. He couldn''t help but chuckle inside because her tongue probed him. He hugged her back and thought, ''Milf aged like fine wine, and I guess that statement is true after all.'' Huo Yuhao didn''t reject his mother''s advance and waited for her to be tired tounch a counterattack. After a few minutes of a sloppy kiss, her lips parted from him. It was a big mistake for her. "Amazing~! You''re so handsome, so adorable, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er mumbled huskily, unaware of the predator before her. "Mom?" "Yes??" "Don''t me me for this." He said while plunging his lips into Huo Yun''er, pushing her to the ground. "You''re the one who started it." "Eh?" She was dumbfounded. "Mhhn~!" Huo Yun''er squirmed immediately under her son''s advance because it was more intense and passionate than she could handle. Even the Albino Nine-Tailed Fox was speechless when seeing this. Her pink eyes slowly gained a heart pattern. "This is amazing~!" She moaned while surrendering herself to Huo Yuhao. After living in Yae''s Legacy Realm for one thousand years, her mind was corrupted and filled with a never-ending love for Her son. ''Is it wrong, Yes? Is it hot? Absolutely!!!'' Huo Yun''er thought and watched Huo Yuhao dominate her like an animal, forcing her lips to be one with him. She doesn''t know her son could be this rough. ... ... Heavy breathing echoed in the cottage, Huo Yun''er lying on the ground with an excited look on her face. And Huo Yuhao licked his lips slowly. "That was sweet." Hemented with a smile, causing an invisible arrow to strike Huo Yun''er in the heart. She doesn''t know if this was love or lust anymore. Huo Yuhao rested his head on her chest and said, "Wee back, mom. I''m d you can tackle the legacy without any problem." "Mm." Huo Yun''er blushed and nodded slightly, patting him on the head gently this time. "Hao''er... C-Can we do it again?" Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Anytime for you, mom. Still, we have something else to do now." Huo Yun''er was confused and remembered the White Tiger Mansion''s existence. That ce disappeared from her mind when trained by Yae. It''s not particrly important for her anyway. "Hmm??" She heard a faint yet long grumble from Huo Yuhao''s stomach. "You haven''t eaten anything? Then, Mom will cook something for you." "Hehe. Thanks, mom!" Huo Yuhaoughed because he actually was meditating for too long. Even though Huo Yuhao''s body wasn''t doing any intense stuff, Naga''s Legacy consumed his energy for some reason. After the meal, Huo Yun''er and Huo Yuhao told their legacy stories and fell asleep while hugging each other. Chapter 15: Decision Chapter 15: Decision --- Chapter 15 --- A soft purr was tickling Huo Yuhao''s ears. He gradually awakened from his sleep and felt something soft yet firm rubbing against his face. It took him a few minutes to realize Huo Yun''er was hugging him like a ko. Huo Yun''er was still asleep, and her beautiful face was perfect with that satisfied smile. That inviting rosy lip made Huo Yuhao think about yesterday''s event, and he was slightly embarrassed. Nevertheless, He''s not dense enough not to realize her desire and passion for him. ''What a woman. Evo, give me her status.'' Huo Yuhao sighed inside while thinking about something. [...] [Name: Huo Yun''er] [Age: 26] [Race: Human, Albino Heavenly Fox(+)] [Cultivation: Level 10] [Martial Soul: Mystic Spirit Eyes(+), Heavenly Fox(+)] [Description: A woman with a severe sonplex who loved her son the most in this world] ''Well, this exins some things.'' He stared at his mother''s status panel with a weak smile. The description of her is rather amusing too. Huo Yuhao clicked on Heavenly Fox''s race and saw an additional system panel appear. "Huh, this is broken." Hemented while reading the short exnation about this race. [Heavenly Foxes are the legendary demonic beast that governs over illusion and yin me, but the truth is more than that. They actually have a reign over Luck and Doom, making them one of the "strongest." races ever existed. Yae, Albino Heavenly Fox is rare existence within the n and possesses even more powerful control over Destiny] [The reason why Albino Nine-Tailed Fox''s Legacy is only S Rank is that Yae wasn''t able to reach a higher realm and passed away before her fateful peak] Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding and expected his mother to give him a stroke of high luck in the future. He couldn''t help but grin when thinking about it. It''s like having the Goddess of Luck on his side. He moved his gaze to the other section and discovered that Huo Yun''er possessed a twin martial soul. He checked them out and was curious about what kind of changes her Spirit Eyes got after the legacy trial. [Name: Mystic Spirit Eyes] [Type: Martial Soul] [Description: Mystic Spirit Eyes is the abnormal evolution of Spirit Eyes, a Spiritual-based Martial Soul influenced by the Albino Heavenly Fox''s lineage. The one who had this martial soul could see the fortune and doom of someone else] [Name: Heavenly Fox(Variant)] [Type: Martial Soul] [Description: A variant of Heavenly Fox, Albino Nine-Tailed Fox, that possessed extreme yin me called Blue Fox Fire. It could burn one''s spiritual energy and reduce one''s mind into nothing but ash] "Is this a coincidence? I think not." Huo Yuhao has Thunderfire, an Absolute Fire Element in short Yang-based me. It makes himpatible with Huo Yun''er. ording to Naga, the Divine Dragon slept with countless Yin Dragons in the past and increased his strength by several realms. This healthy activity provided Thunderfire with a "nutritious." essence to make it stronger. "What coincidence?" A melodious voice awakened Huo Yuhao from his thoughts. "Ah, good morning." He awkwardly responded while feeling the softness of her chest. "Mom, you suffocated me." "Fufu~! My bad." Huo Yun''er released Huo Yuhao from her tight embrace, kissing him on the forehead. "I can''t help myself because My Hao''er is so handsome in the morning~! At this point, I''ll forget to make breakfast and cuddle for an hour." Huo Yuhao grazed her lips with his index finger and said, "That''s such an excellent proposition, mom. Still, I have to do my daily training." "I can''t skip it for a day, you know." Heughed because without abusing his Daily Quest, how could he get so many Upgrading Tickets in thest weeks? Huo Yun''er puffed her cheeks slightly and whispered, "That''s unfortunate then." "Yeah." Huo Yuhao replied by kissing Huo Yun''er on the forehead like usual. He jumped off the bed and yfully smiled because teasing her was fun. "Hao''er..." Huo Yun''er froze on the spot for a moment. "Why did you tease me like this~!" "Hehe, but I like it~!" ... After teasing Huo Yun''er, Huo Yuhao went to the backyard and received Advanced Training like any other day. With his new physical prowess, he started with 10k sit-ups and finished the rest objectives without losing breath. "This is more like a light warm-up now." Huo Yuhao breathed and rested on the ground, keeping his legs straight to check his lower body condition. "It usually took one or two hours to finish the daily quest, but now I can finish it in less than one hour. That''s an improvement, surely." "And I don''t feel any burn yet." Being High Human is already a cheat for Huo Yuhao because he keeps improving himself every day. Then, getting True Dragon and White Tiger as sub-races enhances that even further. This world is unfair, but he won''tin because he got the most benefits. "Let''s see how far I can push myself." Huo Yuhao grinned excitedly and started to do a series of exercises, sweating profusely under his shirt. [Name: Advanced Training] [Objectives: 30k/1000 Sit-ups, 30k/1000 pushups, 30k/1000 squats, and 3000km/100km runs] [Do you want to finish the quest?] Huo Yuhao cooled down and replied, "Yes. Let''s see how you estimate the reward this time, Evo." [Estimating the exceeding values...] [You have received 6 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x ss Advancement Token] "Around 60 Bronze Upgrading Tickets, I will take it." [Ding! You have passed the requirement, Host] [You cannot ept Advance Training Quest anymore] "That''s sad, but you''re correct. I''ve met the requirements for Advanced Training. And with my current physical strength, the quest isn''t really effective." Huo Yuhao agreed with the system''s decision. "Hmm? Wait, this isn''t a Random ss Book?" [Name: ss Advancement Token] [Type: ss Only] [Description: A one-time uses token that can advance any veteran ss to the next awakening] He was quiet when reading the description because he could upgrade his ss with this token. It doesn''t cost any Upgrading Tickets, which is good. "Awakening..." He mumbled to himself. "I''ll save it for now. I need to think about this thoroughly because I haven''t explored the four sses much, so awakening them now would be a rash decision without a pro and contra." "Why the long face, Hao''er~?" Huo Yun''er asked while leaning on the window. She has observed her son''s training and marveled at his abnormal stamina. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Nothing, Mom. I''ll go to the river and wash myself up." "Don''t go for too long!" Huo Yun''er waved her hand at him. "I have cooked some breakfast for you." "Okay." Huo Yuhao waved his hand back. ... ... "So this is some breakfast?" Huo Yuhao looked at the dining table filled with food. "If we are poor like before, this amount of food would feed us for the whole week." Huo Yun''er covered her mouth and answered, "Don''t mind the small detail." "Is that so?" He tilted his head, starting the devour the food like no tomorrow. High Humans have a fast metabolismpared to regr humans, which allows them to store more energy. Huo Yun''er slowly supported her chin with her slender arm and watched Huo Yuhao eating peacefully. It is the ideal life she wanted, where Hao''er and her didn''t have to worry about food and other necessities. She curiously activated her Mystic Spirit Eyes and saw golden light gathered above Huo Yuhao''s head, signifying his current luck. He has such a terrifying amount of Qi Luck. ''As expected of my Hao''er~! Such a lucky child.'' She thought while humming gently. After breakfast, Huo Yuhao drank a cup of water and stared at his mother in the kitchen. He noticed her changes, but not drastic ones. Huo Yun''er is still Huo Yun''er, despite her growing Son Complex. "Mom, can I awaken my martial soul somewhere else?" "No, since you''re so hesitant about this matter before, let me change the question." Huo Yuhao ced the wooden cup on the table. "Can we get out of this ce?" Huo Yun''er smiled and replied, "Sure, Hao''er. I''d follow you everywhere you want." "T-That was fast." He frowned weirdly, gaining a giggle from Huo Yun''er. "I was thinking about this matter in the legacy realm. We are suffering in this ce for too long, so maybe it''s time to change for a better life." She stated honestly. As Yae said, Huo Yun''er past self is foolish. Huo Yuhao leaned on the chair because they finally could get out of this ce. He liked to deal with the White Tiger Duchess first, though. He can''t let the annoying tigress be free easily. "Hmm??" His Kenbunshoku Haki was activated. A group of people ising to their ce. Huo Yun''er also felt the disturbance and nced at the front door, seeing some familiar faces. "White Tiger''s Guards, what are they doing here?" She put on a confused expression. Huo Yuhao instinctively picked up Baruka''s Dagger from his inventory and assumed the White Tiger''s Guards were here for some reason. There is no way they found out about the head maid''s assassination, leaving one possible assumption. "The Duchess." Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er said at the same time. "Huo Yun''er, we are here to arrest you for stealing the duchess''s treasure." A loud voicees from the outside. Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched and responded with, "Bullshit." Chapter 16: False Chapter 16: False --- Chapter 16 --- Huo Yuhao has never heard such a stupid false usation in his entire life. Huo Yun''er stealing the White Tiger Duchess''s treasure, like how? She has been in bed for weeks, finishing her legacy trials. The White Tiger''s Guards didn''t even bother to check the area and shouted again, "Huo Yun''er,e out now, or we''ll move you out by force!" "I''ll deal with them." Huo Yuhao said while raising the Baruka''s Dagger in his hand. Huo Yun''er giggled and replied casually, "No, let mom handle this, okay?" She wiped her hand clean with a towel and walked out of the front door, greeting the guards with a smile on her face. They were mesmerized by her new appearances and dumbfounded for a moment. Huo Yun''er felt disgusted inside because only Huo Yuhao should be stunned by her. However, she still maintained a calm smile and observed them silently. Yae has taught her many things in the legacy realm, and deception is one of them. "Hmm, do you need something from me, guards?" She uttered with fake concern. "I''ve been sick in the past two weeks and couldn''t get out. Did something happen in the White Tiger Mansion?" "Don''t y dumb, Huo Yun''er! You thief!" A woman shriekes from the group. With some bold steps, a newly appointed head maid approached Huo Yun''er. She''s a woman with long light brown hair, wearing purple-sashed maid clothes. Huo Yun''er recognized this woman as the main court maid who dealt with household affairs under the White Tiger Duchess''s order. It''s not hard to guess the "strong." connection between them in this false usation, but the White Tiger''s Guards don''t care. ''Well, what did I even expect from them? They are all ears with a blind sense of justice.'' She thought while shaking her head slightly. "Huh??" The newly assigned head maid stood before Huo Yun''er and realized her height wasn''t even reaching this lowly woman''s chin. Huo Yun''er looked down indifferently and asked, "What proof did you have that I stole the Duchess''s treasure? Do you think I''m dumb enough to let you humiliate me?" "This case should be investigated thoroughly first, no?" "This bitch-!" The head maid raised her hand and wanted to p Huo Yun''er but got one herself first. PA! She fell to the ground dramatically with a burning red mark on her cheek, causing the area to bepletely silent. It was out of everyone''s expectation because the meek and weak Huo Yun''er fought back. "W-What?!" "Guard, A-Arrest-!" BAM! Huo Yun''er suddenly kicked the head maid in the face and made her release a pig-like squeal. "Yes, scream like that~! You''re sounding more like a pig now." She indifferently said while covering her mouth. "Ah, beg my pardon. I was disciplining a wild animal." Huo Yun''er moved her gaze back to the White Tiger''s Guards. "Should we continue the conversation?" Her pink eyes released intense spiritual energy, catching the guard in a powerful illusion. Huo Yun''er skimmed through their heads and discovered some interesting stuff about this usation. "Heh." Huo Yun''er widened her smile into a grin. "Well, that was surprising." Huo Yuhaomented while walking out of the cottage. He observed Huo Yun''er from the beginning and sensed her spiritual energy control was close to him. She even created an illusion so casually. Huo Yun''er hugged him and said, "Let''s get out of this ce. The White Tiger Duchess will pay for your journey." "Err, how?" "Trust your mom~!" She added with a wink. ... ... At the White Tiger Mansion, the Duchess waited for the lowly maid Huo Yun''er to be caught by the Guards. She tolerated this whore maid for too long and couldn''t hold herself after the head maid''s death. "Hmm?" She heard a knock on her room. "Duchess. The White Tiger''s Guards have caught and brought Huo Yun''er." Someone reported calmly, bringing a smile to the Duchess''s face. "Escort me there." The White Tiger Duchess opened the door and walked through the hallway, moving to the punishing court where all crimes within the Mansion harshly were punished. She arrived at the punishing court and witnessed a familiar blonde woman tied with a rope and kneeling on the brown pavement. She couldn''t help but smirk when seeing this. "What a moment to be alive, isn''t it? Huo Yun''er." She coldly said while looking down at the dirty woman who stole her husband''s love. "D-Duchess, what have I been doing wrong? You always make things hard for me, cutting my monthly food portion and even my nonexistent sry. What am I doing WRONG?!" Huo Yun''er screamed while releasing tears. The Duchess was pleased seeing the tears on this woman and replied, "What''s wrong you said? Your existence is wrong, Huo Yun''er. You''re nothing but a mere maid." "You''ve been caught red-handed, stealing my nest night. And I decided to punish you with one hundred whips and permanent banishment from this ce." She added, watching aplete horror appear on her opponent''s face. "Guards, Do it." Fwip! "N-NO!!" "Arghhh!" ... "Well, just look at that." Huo Yun''er leaned on the wall behind the White Tiger Duchess. "You''re not going to let me live peacefully, huh? No wonder Yae told me I was fucking dumb for living here my entire life." Huo Yun''er has ced a powerful illusion on the White Tiger Duchess and showed her the ideal scenario deep within her wicked heart. And the one who got punished in the punishing court was the new head maid, getting whipped violently by the guards. The poor woman was beaten to death, squealing like a pig on the ground. Meanwhile, Huo Yun''er suddenly was inspired by this sight and imagined some wild things in her head. ''I don''t mind getting whipped by Hao''er, hehe~!'' She suddenly thought. "Are you done?" Huo Yuhao asked while dragging a leather bag filled with gold coins and some treasure from the White Tiger''s Treasury. Huo Yun''er wiped the drool on her lower face and cleared her throat, "Ehem, we can go anytime." "Is that so? You''re not going to get your revenge on this woman?" He nced at the Duchess. "She''s the source of your suffering." The Duchess is a beautiful woman for her age, having shining ck hair and a sharp yet elegant-looking face. Her noble''s lineage was clear from her appearance alone. "Revenge? I''ve done it." Huo Yun''er smirked while ncing at the Duchess. Thick and gloomy ck lights gathered on the Duchess''s head, signifying her horrible Qi Doom. She would experience the worst luck a human could get for ten years, suffering from illness and all kinds of miserable conditions. Huo Yun''er hugged Huo Yuhao and returned, "Do you want to add something? No one would notice it because I''ve covered the whole Mansion with Illusion. Some powerful spirit master might catch the phenomenon, but they won''t be able to do anything." "A Deity-level Illusion is special, so normal mortals can''t cancel it easily. Eh, Hao''er?" "If you say so, I''ll use this." A mysterious-looking bottle filled with green liquid appeared in Huo Yuhao''s hand. He freed himself from his mother''s grasp and shoved the bottle into the Duchess''s mouth. Huo Yuhao watched the potion disappear into the Duchess''s mouth and nodded his head. "Let''s go. This ce makes me sick." He said while grabbing his mother''s hand. "Mm, let''s go." Huo Yun''er replied naturally. They walked out of the White Tiger Mansion, and Huo Yun''er had never felt so free in her entire life. It''s a liberating feeling, like a heavy shackle off her legs. "Hao''er, We should have left that cursed ce years ago." Huo Yun''er breathed in the fresh air of the Star Luo Imperial City. Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "We should." They walked to the northern gate, where Huo Yuhao heard that a temple was holding a Spirit Awakening Ceremony today. And on the way there, Huo Yun''er bes curious about the potion he used on the Duchess. "Hao''er, I''m curious about the medicine you forced the Duchess to drink. What''s it?" She asked while staring at him. The blue-haired kid let out a viciousugh and answered, "It''s a harmless poison, but the Duchess who drank it will experience horrible diarrhea for a month. After that, all her hair would start to fall off, making her look like a hairless cat." "Pfft-! Hahaha~." Huo Yun''er couldn''t contain her amusement andughed to her heart''s content. She didn''t know her son could be this vicious. Then, again no one could me him because he was so handsome and adorable. "My Hao''er is the best~!" They went to the temple in the northern part of the Star Luo Imperial City and literally were greeted by a warm-looking woman in a white robe when stepping on the front gate. Even though they look "rather." mysterious with cloaks sewed by Huo Yuhao a few days ago, the woman somehow still greets them warmly. "Wee to the temple. Are you here to awaken your martial soul?" The woman cheerfully asked while looking at Huo Yuhao. "Um, Yes." Huo Yuhao answered, which caused the woman to giggle in amusement. The woman guided them inside and said, "Come in. The Spirit Awakening Ceremony was about to get started." Chapter 17: Spirit Awakening Ceremony Chapter 17: Spirit Awakening Ceremony --- Chapter 17 --- Huo Yuhao entered the temple, looking around with an astonished gaze. He hasn''t seen the architecture of this world much because his daily routine was training and training for thest three weeks. ''Oh.'' His blue eyes wandered around the temple. The nun giggled when seeing Huo Yuhao''s antics and said, "It''s always nice to see a child being enthusiastic. I can''t me him because today was the Spirit Awakening Ceremony." "Are you his mother?" She added while moving her gaze to Huo Yun''er. Under that cloak, she could see a beautiful woman with a peerless appearance. "Yes." Huo Yun''er replied with a smile. The nun couldn''t help but smile andmented, "You have such an adorable son, ma''am. I have to refrain myself from patting him, you know." Huo Yun''er frowned inside because her fight and flight instinct just jumped for a moment. She would never let an unknown individual touch her beloved Hao''er. They would get their bodies burned by her foxfire first. "Ma''am??" The nun waved her hand before Huo Yun''er. "Are you okay? You seemed to nk out for a moment." "Ah, people say that a lot to my son." Huo Yun''er answered with a giggle. "And yes, I''m fine." As the three delved more into the temple, some parents and children were waiting for the nun to start the Spirit Awakening Ceremony. They are so excited to see what kind of Martial souls their children awakened today. And The children are full of expectations because this event will decide their path to bing Spirit Master. Huo Yuhao shook his head because Douluo Dalu''s world is unfair for people with no bloodlines and inborn talent. Not saying you can''t be more powerful, but your starting point and future path would be several times harder. "Hey, are you new here?" A young girl asked while approaching Huo Yuhao. She''s no more than 6 with short ck hair and wearing a simple dress. The most noticeable part about her is those bright green eyes. "Why are you wearing a cloak? It''s going to be hot, you know." "I''m fine." Huo Yuhao replied while lowering his hood. He didn''t want to attract their attention and stood to the side, waiting for the Spirit Awakening Ceremony to start. The girl became more curious and decided to stand in the same spot as him. "What''s your name?" "Your age?" "Woah, your skin is so smooth." "Your eyes too! How could they be so shiny like a gem!?" Huo Yuhao looked away and reduced the girl''s question to white noises. He used Kenbunshoku Haki a little bit and checked the whole temple, assuring himself that no one from the White Tiger Mansion was following them. He sighed in relief and saw the nun walking into the middle of the room, bringing a blue crystal ball. She gently smiled at everyone and exined a few things about the Spirit Awakening Ceremony. And the ritual finally started. The nun called over a young boy with dark brown hair and told him to stand before her. She activated her martial soul and summoned a beautiful rose, having two yellow spirit rings around her body. "Spirit Grandmaster." Huo Yuhaomented naturally. Everyone noticed the spirit rings expanded around the kid''s body and released intense yellow lights. "Spirit Awaken." The nun whispered while pressing her hand gently on the child''s head. "Martial Soul, Toad." She added while cing the blue crystal near the brown-haired kid. "Touch this crystal, child." "Mhm." The brown-haired kid grinned and grasped the blue crystal, making it glow dimly with white light. His parents were excited because he could be a Spirit Master. The nun patted his head and stated, "Not bad. Your spirit rank is level 2." After a brief congrattion, the nun continues to awaken the children''s martial souls in the temple. Some are lucky, but the rest literally were struck with being level 0 and didn''t get a chance to be Spirit Master. It''s saddening to see their bright expression turned into a hopeless mess, but this is a regr urrence in this world. Huo Yuhao noticed the young girl beside him bing more nervous than before. Her enthusiastic antics stopped minutes ago when a child awakened blue silver grass with level 0 spirit power. "It''s boring." He yawned slightly. "The Spirit Awakening Ceremony is moreckluster than I expected." The girl was shocked and softly rebuked, "Hey, don''t say that... Spirit Awakening Ceremony is a tradition passed along for ten thousand years in the Douluo Continent. Have a little respect for the nun for doing this ceremony voluntarily, please." "Well, you''re correct and wrong simultaneously. At least you''re not nervous anymore." Huo Yuhao leaned on the wall, watching the girl tilting her head in confusion. Kids were easily distracted. The nun tenderly called over the girl because it was her turn and awakened her martial soul. A bright green light exploded in the temple, and a dark cauldron was manifested in the air, releasing pressure in the area. "T-This." A gasp escaped the nun''s mouth. Huo Yuhao recognized this martial soul and mumbled in disbelief, "No way... She''s here?" "ck Cauldron? It looks strong!" A kid in the crowd suddenly shouted with a surprised tone. The nun hurriedly told the girl to touch the blue crystal, and bright blue illuminated the temple, giving off a mysterious atmosphere to everyone. Even the nun was too stunned to speak because this girl has legendary talent. "Innate Full Spirit Power." The nun said while staring at the girl solemnly. "Child, you have one in one hundred years aptitude. Your spirit rank is level 10." "Hmm?" The girl looked around nervously, wondering if this was real or not. She lowered her head in embarrassment because everyone stared at her like she was a rare creature. "You must be shocked." The nun calmed her. "Take a breather and hold on to this, honey." A petal dropped from the rose and covered the girl with a gentle yellow light. She became less nervous and walked back to her position with a blush. "Congrattions." Huo Yuhaoplimented her naturally. He would never have thought to find one of his prospective teammates here. "Thank you. I haven''t told you my name, don''t I?" She nodded like a chick, blushing even more. "Um, nice to meet you again... My name is Xiao Xiao." Huo Yuhao smiled under his hood because he already knew her name beforehand. "Nice to meet you, Xiao." He returned while thinking about her future. Xiao Xiao was one of the "strongest." members in terms of natural potential, having two martial souls. Due to her poor development, She only became the title douluo and couldn''t reach the Divine Realm with her loved ones. ''Looks like Xiao Xiao hasn''t found out about her other martial soul.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. "What about yours?" Xiao Xiao asked while trying to peek into his hood. "You''ve been ignoring me from the start." He let out a small chuckle and replied, "Ah, my name is Yun Long." Huo Yuhao could have told Xiao Xiao his real name, but the White Tiger n could have searched this areater, and having this interaction with her was risky enough. He came out with Yun Long''s name because Naga used that in the past. (An: if you know, you know) "Child, it''s your turn." The nun looked at Huo Yuhao, waving her hand at him. Huo Yuhao walked to the nun, noticing a wind movement behind his back. Huo Yun''er seamlessly approached Xiao Xiao and started to interrogate her. "What do you want from my Hao''er, Girl?" She asked with a frown. "You have to pass through me first." "Eh??" ... ... Huo Yuhao stood before the nun and felt her curious gaze all over his body. The charm of young High Human is terrifyingly effective against women. And she isn''t an exception. "Don''t fight back, okay~?" She said while pushing her spirit energy into him. Huo Yuhao regted his breathing and perceived two orbs of lights inside his soul. The first one rose to his eyes, and the other stayed around his chest. "How rxing." A relieved sigh escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. [You have awakened your martial souls, Host] Evo announced with a dull tone. [The Eyes of the Lord] [Chains of Heaven] A beautiful-looking ck chain with a golden mark appeared out of thin air, hovering around Huo Yuhao like part of his body. It released an ethereal golden light, making him look like an otherworldly being. "Haa..." When everyone was captivated by the Chains of Heaven''s appearance, the nun looked down and saw the most beautiful blue eyes she ever sees. Those eyes reminded her of the blue sky that reigned over the world. Huo Yuhao deactivated his martial soul and said, "Thank you, sister. I owe you a favor." "Then, let me pat your headter." The nun replied immediately, leaving Huo Yuhao speechless for a moment. He nced at his mother and hesitantly nodded his head in agreement. "Now touch this crystal." Huo Yuhao grasped over the crystal''s clear surface and felt his spirit energy getting sucked out. He hovered his hand over the crystal and stopped his power from leaking. It caused a simr phenomenon as Xiao Xiao before. "Another one. W-What kind of world is I actually living in??" A frustrated groan in the temple. "Are you sure this talent is rare?" [You have awakened Supreme Innate Full Spirit] Chapter 18: Outside World Chapter 18: Outside World --- Chapter 18 --- The Spirit Awakening Ceremony ended smoothly, and some jealous people began to spread a rumor about the twin shining stars in the city. The topicsted for a few weeks, but that was for another day. "Hehe~! What an adorable child." A delightedugh echoed in the temple. The nun is patting Huo Yuhao''s head with such an unambiguous passion. "Are you done?" Huo Yuhao asked while using his Kenbunshoku Haki to find Huo Yun''er. She was currently facing Xiao Xiao and warned her about something. The nun breathed heavily and replied, "Five more minutes~!" She released Huo Yuhao from her unholy grasp five minutester and released a satisfied sigh. Her whole body literally was filled with never-ending happiness. "Ehem, my name is Mo Roxue. You can visit me anytime for help, child." The nun said while clearing her throat, remembering her "unholy." behavior a moment ago. Huo Yuhao stared at her nkly and replied, "No thanks. I won''t be returning to this ce anytime soon." "Eh, that was sad." Mo Roxue felt a little down when hearing Huo Yuhao''s replies. She can''t pat him and get a boost of energy like this anymore. "Oh, wee back you two." Huo Yun''er and Xiao Xiao returned to the temple after their deep conversation with each other. The young girl had a determined look on her face, which caused Huo Yuhao to wonder what kind of topic they were chatting about in the back. Well, it''s not hard to guess it was rted to him. "Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''er hugged Huo Yuhao from behind and rubbed her head on him. "Have you missed mom?" Huo Yuhao smiled and answered naturally, "I have." "Aww, mom missed you too~." She returned while smiling happily. "I would have never thought myself to get jealous because of mother and son''s bonding." Mo Roxuemented while shaking his head. She looked at Xiao Xiao and asked, "Child, your parents should be here soon, right?" "Mm, mother said she woulde after finishing her work at the bakery. She was busy because the Princess''s return makes people demand a ridiculous amount of bread." Xiao Xiao nodded slightly. "Your mom works at the bakery?" Mo Roxue was surprised. "Yes. We owned one, to be fair. I can give you freshly baked bread for free." The young girl continued while moving her gaze to Huo Yuhao, expecting a reaction from him. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but feel amused inside and politely denied, "Sorry, I can''t stay for too long. We have nned a journey to grandma''s house." "I-I see..." Xiao Xiao lowered her head. "Six years. I''ll be at the Shrek Academy in six years." He said while patting her head. "We can meet again there." "R-Really??" "Yeah." "Okay, that''s enough. Remember our conversation." Huo Yun''er stood between them skeptically, separating Xiao Xiao from her beloved son. Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "Yeah. Just wait, I''ll be strong enough to be his support in the future." After some brief conversation, Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er went away from the northern gate and rode a carriage to the outside world. Mo Roxue slowly looked down at her hand, finding a small pouch of gold coins. Huo Yuhao still paid her for awakening his martial soul, despite doing it for free. "He''s such an interesting child." She said while looking at the northern gate. Xiao Xiao''s small figure came into her vision, making her curious about something. Mo Roxue pondered for a second and asked, "Hey, child. May I know what you are talking about with his mom? "It''s a secret, sister. I can''t tell you." Xiao Xiao responded with a giggle. "..." Mo Roxue was speechless. Xiao Xiao watched the blue horizon that reminded her of Huo Yuhao''s royal blue eyes. "Let''s meet again in six years, Yun Long." She whispered to herself. ... ... Huo Yun''er hugged Huo Yuhao in the carriage and felt a rush of spiritual energy back into her head. A droplet of blood fell from her nose, making her son look worried. "Mom, are you okay??" Huo Yuhao worriedly asked while checking her condition. Sheughed and answered, "I''ve canceled the illusion. It used more energy than it should have because I maintained it for too long, hehe~." "Yae said I need to absorb my first spirit ring before using Deity-level illusion. Your mom is clumsy." "Drink this. It will ease your mind." Huo Yuhao stuffed her nose with a clean cloth and picked a potion to make her feel better. He sighed and added, "You should tell me sooner, and pushing yourself like this isn''t good at all." "Yeah, I''ll do that in the future." Huo Yun''er drank the potion and leaned on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. "You know... I''ve listened to your daily story when doing my legacy trial." "I was moved and felt useless at the same time. Just for a moment, I thought, "Hao''er need to see how powerful I had be." and used the illusion to cover my weakness." "Hao''er, you should have noticed this. I love you, and it makes me desperate..." She fell asleep because of the potion''s effect. Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "This will be a long day. As long as we cross the border, the White Tiger n shouldn''t be able to track us." "Have a nice nap, mom." ... ... "Evo, Status." [Opening Status Panel...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 6] [Race: High Human] [Sub-Races: True Dragon(+), White Tiger(+)] [ss: Assassin, Avenger, Pdin, Archer] [Cultivation Realm: Level 20] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(+), The Eyes of the Lord(+), Chains of Heaven(+)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Dagger Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(21), Baruka''s Dagger(A), Failure(Locked)] [Upgrading Tickets: Bronze(1), Silver(10)] "Level 20..." Huo Yuhao frowned while staring at the system panel. "Is this rted to the Supreme Innate Full Spirit?" [Yes, the Supreme Innate Full Spirit only happens when one has "Extremely powerful." Martial Soul. And thest person recorded with this awakening is Qian Renxue, who possessed Seraphim Martial Soul] Evo exined monotonously. "Well, that makes things simple for me. Does that mean I can absorb two spirit rings without any problem?" He narrowed his eyes. [That''s correct] "Extremely Powerful, huh." Huo Yuhao checked his new martial soul and clicked to create additional system panels. His blue eyes widened when reading the description. [Name: Eyes of the Lord] [Type: Martial Soul] [Description: Eyes of the Lord was a strong Martial Soul affected by High Human''s Lineage, having immense control over Spiritual Realm and ability to see and replicate even God''s Movement] [Innate Ability: Heavenly Mirror, replicate one''s movement inside out like a reflection] [Name: Chains of Heaven] [Type: Martial Soul] [Description: Chains of Heaven is a heaven-defying chain that could bind even a god. It has innate spatial and suppression attributes on the enemy, sealing their abilities and strengths with ease] [Innate Skill: Suppression, Seal enemy based on the percentage of your strength and Spirit Energy] "Oh, that exined many things. They are broken and versatile for all situations, allowing me to copy and suppress anyone above me. Even though I doubt Chains of Heaven could suppress much at my current level." Huo Yuhao naturallymented because he had to do some testster. "Though I grasped all my martial souls'' effectiveness. Chaotic Purgatory Dragon covered my physical aspect, Eyes of the Lord clearly based on my spiritual power. Andstly, Chains of Heavens weakened my enemy." Thebination was out ofmon sense, considering Huo Yuhao doesn''t feel a bacsh when using two or more martial souls simultaneously. He also could switch between three of them, like breathing. Finally, Chains of Heaven depleted the most Spirit Energy out of the three. Not saying the other Martial Soul didn''t use Spirit Energy. Chaotic Purgatory Dragon and Eyes of the Lord used Naga''s Bloodline and Spiritual Energy more, which is an eptable deal for Huo Yuhao. "And there are Demonic Changes." Huo Yuhao muttered while feeling White Tiger''s bloodline in his veins. He harnessed the feeling and noticed faint white furs covering his skin. "All my senses strengthened without consuming any energy but stamina." Huo Yuhao''s nose fiddled a little because he smelled blood not far away from this ce. He used Kenbunshoku Haki and Eyes of the Lord, overlooking some broken carriages with blood and corpse everywhere. The carriage moved toward the ce and stopped awkwardly because the driver was shocked by the scenery. "S-Sir, What happened outside?" Huo Yuhao changed the tone of his voice and asked cluelessly. His childish voice awakened the driver back to reality. The driver breathed slowly to calm himself and responded, "A group of mountain bandits seemed to attack these carriages not long ago. Stay inside, kid. I''ll check for any survivors." Huo Yuhao shrugged and ced a pillow below his mother''s head, jumping outside the carriage. He utilized wide-ranged Kenbunshoku this time and tried to sense living beings within 250 meters. "D-Don''te here! Don''t kill me!" A scream wasing from afar. He kicked the ground and approached the sound, finding himself on the cliff. A bad-looking guy was pointing a sharp de at a youngdy around his age. "Ah yes... Another cliche." Huo Yuhao felt Deja Vu and predicted a quest toe next. [Ding! Emergency Quest] "Come on, Give me a break." Chapter 19: Chain Quest? Chapter 19: Chain Quest? --- Chapter 19 --- [Ding! Emergency Quest] [Name: Save the Damsel] [Objective: Save the Girl(0/1)] [Reward: 9 Bronze Upgrading Tickets] [Do you want to ept the quest] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao epted the quest with a tired look because he escaped one hole and fell into another. He kicked the ground and summoned Chains of Heaven, controlling it to save the girl. "D-Don''te here!" The girl seemed to notice Huo Yuhao''s presence and bit her lips. The bandit couldn''t help butugh and replied, "Hmph, I''m sure you fetch quite a lot in the ck market with that appearance, kid. Those pesky nobles want adorable kids these days. Don''t me me for doing it rough." "Stay put-!" A white-gleaming dagger passed through the bandit''s neck. Cough! "W-Who?" Huo Yuhao mmed Thunderfire on the bandit''s chest and indifferently said, "Stay away from her, pedo bastard." The bandit was engulfed with purple me and fell from the cliff with a shocked expression. He couldn''t even utter thest word because his neck suddenly was ruptured by Huo Yuhao. The girl trembled and swayed like a broken doll, but Huo Yuhao quickly used Chains of Heaven to catch her. He can''t let her fall and makes the quest fail. "Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao asked while checking her condition with Kenbunshoku Haki. He wasn''t paying attention to her appearance a moment ago, but this girl was noble. This girl is seven years old or younger, having neat blonde hair and bright amethyst eyes. She wore a casual dress and a blue ribbon around her waist. Even though her clothes were messy because of some mud here and there, they couldn''t tarnish her pure image. "T-Thank you." She kneeled on the ground, knowing her knees gave up after that life and death event. "Thank you for saving my life." She cried for a few minutes, and Huo Yuhao wiped her tears with a clean handkerchief. He soothed her mind with Spiritual Energy, making herfortable around him for now. "Can you tell me what happened? Ah, also your name." Huo Yuhao asked while covering her with his cloak. "My name is Qianye Ying''er. I''m the youngest child of the Qianye n and was on a trip with my mother to our vacation vi at Star Luo Imperial City. W-We were ambushed by bandits when passing a mountain range. They robbed and killed everyone, even my m-mom..." [You have finished the quest] [Rewarding 9 Bronze Upgrading Tickets] [You have triggered chain quest] Huo Yuhao''s face hardened when hearing Evo''s monotonous voice. He slowly nced at the system panel and saw a new quest tab appears. [Name: Bandit & Scheme] [Objective: Find out the bandit hideout and the truth about the ambush(0/2)] [Reward: 2 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Spirit Ring(Purple)] [Do you want to take the chained quest?] [Yes/No] ''You''ve got me good, Evo. You know very well I won''t miss out on these rewards.'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but sigh. He took the quest and brought Qianye Ying''er back to the carriage. The driver was still busy checking out the survivors in the destroyed carriages. However, they should be brought by the mountain bandit somewhere else, ording to the youngdy beside him. Qianye Ying''er clutched her hand on Huo Yuhao''s sleeve when seeing the bloody scenery again. "Everything will be alright." Huo Yuhao assured Qianye Ying''er while giving her a pat on the back. Huo Yun''er peeked out of the carriage and pouted when seeing her Haor''er with an unknown girl. "Who''s she, Hao''er?" She asked suspiciously. Huo Yuhao shrugged and began to tell everything to Huo Yun''er, making the older woman silent for a moment. She stared at Qian Ying''er with a pitiful gaze because witnessing such a thing at a young age was traumatizing. Huo Yun''er massaged her temple and continued, "What do you want to do then?" "I''ll investigate this matter. No matter how you look at this problem, some mountain bandits were somehow brave enough to attack noble carriages?" Huo Yuhao replied calmly because of the quest. "It''s not weird, but vastly umon." "Qianye Ying''er told me they have some Spirit Ancestor Guards, but they couldn''t even survive against the bandits, meaning the opposite side also has Spirit Masters." "W-When I was running away, I saw someone with five spirit rings. It''s the bandit leader." Qianye Ying''er suddenly added, which left Huo Yuhao mute for a moment. That statement made everything moreplicated now. Huo Yuhao was confident enough to take down everyone below Spirit King Realm, but since the bandit''s leader possessed five spirit rings, he had to prepare something first. Huo Yuhao''s physical abilities and spiritual energy are on par with a Spirit King. However, he needed to consider that his enemy might have an annoying set of Spirit Skills. "Hey, is there a vige near this mountain?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked the driver. "A-Ah, there is one after that mountain." The driver replied sheepishly. "I don''t think we can get away safely and should report this to the Star Luo Imperial City''s Guards." Huo Yuhao frowned inside because he was running away from that ce, and this man wanted to take them back. He nced at Huo Yun''er, noticing a coldness in her eyes when the driver said that. "Let''s go to the vige." He said to the driver. "B-But-!" Huo Yuhao abruptly rushed to the driver and pressured him with Haoshoku Haki, making the poor man shiver in fear. "I said let''s go to the vige, sir." A smile appeared on his childish face. ... ... The carriage arrived at the vige. Huo Yuhao used Kenbunshoku Haki and sensed the peaceful atmosphere in the vige. There was no slightest fear on these people''s minds while mountain bandits loomed around them. "How weird." Hemented casually. "W-We are here." The driver said, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. They jumped off the carriage and looked at the bustling city with a calm gaze. Qianye Ying''er hides behind Huo Yuhao and warily gazes at everyone. Huo Yuhao picked a gold coin from his inventory and threw it at the driver. "Your payment, go away immediately." He said while walking away. The driver gulped in nervousness and waved the leather in his hand, making the horse move again. Unaware of the indifferent expression on Huo Yuhao''s face because there was no way he would leave him alive. That guy was from Star Luo Imperial City and has seen his face, after all. Huo Yun''er barely noticed something, but her nose detected poison in the air. She looked down at her son and assumed he had done something to the driver. ''Dead men tell no tales.'' Huo Yuhao thought while searching for a temporary ce to rest. They walked into a quiet restaurant and ordered some food with copper coins. Huo Yuhao told his mother to ask about this vige''s condition in the past years and waited with Qianye Ying''er at the table. "Hey, is there someone in your n that hates you?" He suddenly asked, which made the youngdy scrunch her face in confusion. Qianye Ying''er thought about it and answered, "I think someone from my uncle''s side has a grudge against my mother... I''m not sure about what because mother never told me." "Am I going to die too..?" She looked down, feeling tears building up in her eyes. Huo Yuhao shoved a rice cake into her mouth and replied, "You won''t die with me around." Huo Yun''er returned to their table with some fruit juices. She began to tell her son about the vige''s condition, and there was no bandit group in the vicinity because this ce was close to the Star Luo Imperial City. Unless they want to court death and get imprisoned for lifetimes, no criminal dared to do such things. "Well, that confirms something." Huo Yuhao takes a sip of the fruit juice. "Let''s go to the inn next." "Sure." Huo Yun''er agreed immediately. The three went to the nearest inn and rented a room, rxing until the evening. When the night arrived, Huo Yuhao ced the White Goblin Mask and leaned on the window. "Hmm?" He noticed a slender finger lifting his mask. Huo Yun''er kissed his forehead and said, "Please be safe, okay?" Huo Yuhao smiled and kissed Huo Yun''er back, hugging her for five minutes. He moved his gaze to the sleeping Qianye Ying''er and sighed inside because this girl had gone through a lot. "I''ll be back soon, so please protect her." He jumped out of the window, disappearing with faint electricity. "We haven''t been out of the city for a day, and Hao''er has met with two girls already. At this point, he will have a harem." Huo Yun''ermented helplessly. "Hmph! I won''t let those girls easily be close with my Hao''er." "You can''t me him. Divine Dragons always have luck with women." A familiar voice appeared in the room. "Fufu~." ... ... Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and returned to the destroyed carriages. He checked them with Kenbunshoku Haki and heard some noise from the previous cliff. "Oh?" He carefully moved to the cliff again. A group of three was talking on the cliff. "Are you sure this is the ce?" A skinny-looking man asked. Another person with a bandana over his head scowled at his partner and replied, "Yes, I saw him running here to catch that girl. Do you think I''d lie about something like this?!" "Shut up! You''re the one who wanted to use our goods without the boss''s permission." A guy with a scar on his face shouted. "The girl must have jumped into the cliff with brother kong." They stared at each other for a minute and agreed to return to their hideout. "Let''s report that Kong Ming failed to get the girl. And He jumped into the cliff with her." The skinny-looking man dered. "Yeah, that should be enough." "I hope the boss won''t be mad at uster." Huo Yuhao listened to the three calmly and followed them for half an hour, navigating through the dense forest. He arrived at the abandoned mines and caught flickering light inside. His Kenbunshoku Haki detected more than thirty people, including the survivor there. [Objective: Find out the bandit hideout and the truth about the ambush(1/2)] "One more to go." Huo Yuhao muttered while grabbing the Baruka''s Dagger. Chapter 20: The Truth Behind It Chapter 20: The Truth Behind It --- Chapter 20 --- Abandoned Mines. "Evo, can you scan the mine''s structures?" Huo Yuhao asked while leaning on a tree. [Scanning...] [Done] Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and saw several rooms within the abandoned mines. He even noticed some treasures, but that wasn''t important right now. He walked to the abandoned mines and approached the rocky walls below the main entrances. "There should be a hole around here." He crouched while pressing his hand on it. After a few moments, Huo Yuhao knocked on the rock and heard an empty sound. He used Thunderfire to melt the wall down and saw a dark path before him. Huo Yuhao entered the hole and moved slowly, sensing every presence inside the abandoned mines with Kenbunshoku Haki again. He could tell these bandits were strong, having average Spirit Grandmaster cultivation. Well, that''s not the problem. Like Qianye Ying''er told him, there is a man with Spirit King cultivation. Huo Yuhao delved more into the cave and arrived at the room with bright light. He peeked through the gap and saw a burly man with a red lion-like mane beard. Even without Kenbunshoku Haki and Evo''s help, he could feel the intense bloodstained aura from this guy. And three men before were here too. "B-Boss, Kong Ming appeared to have died together with the girl. We couldn''t find his corpse around the area and believed he fell into that cliff." A skinny-looking man reported while bowing his head. "Are you sure the girl is dead?" The boss returned to them indifferently. "Have you seen her corpse yet?" Huo Yuhao noticed theck of empathy in the boss''s statement and frowned because Qianye Ying''er seemed more important to him. That arrogant way of speaking, manner, and looks. ''I see... He''s that kind of a guy.'' He thought while thinking about something for a moment. The boss looked down at the three and said, "Found that girl''s corpse tonight. And If you don''t find even a piece of her hair, I''ll burn all of you to ashes." "Y-YES, BOSS!!" The three bandits yelled and ran away from the room. The boss sat on his chair again and muttered, "Bunch of useless idiots... Just how long do I have to order them around? They promised 1 million gold coins to stay here for a month and be a bandit. And this task is bing more and more annoying." "Fake an ambush and me others. As expected from nobles, they are evil to the cores." A line filled with ridicule escaped his mouth. "Whatever, I''ve killed the woman. The girl will soon follow her to heaven." [You have finished Ambush & Scheme] [Rewarding 2 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Spirit Ring(Purple)] [...] [You have triggered the next Quest] [Name: Extermination Mission] [Objective: Kills Bandits and the Leader in the vicinity(0/39)] [Reward: 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket and 1x Random Spirit Ring(ck)] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "That was unexpected." Hemented to himself. Huo Yuhao wondered about the danger of epting this mission because Spirit King is his enemy. He could deal with the rest of the bandits, but the Leader would be a problem. That''s until some options shed in his mind. Huo Yuhao returned outside, preparing some poison on the way there. He called Eas and equipped himself with dark-ted armor. Baruka''s dagger firmly grasped his hand, increasing his speed by 15%. "Let''s do this." He jumped out of the bush, rushing into the abandoned mines. There were two guards at the entrances, but they couldn''t even react when a white-gleaming dagger passed through their necks. [You have killed a bandit] [You have killed a bandit] Huo Yuhao burned their corpse with Thunderfire and kept moving forward. He exterminated a few more bandits with a swift movement and stealth strikes. They couldn''t even react on time because he had an absolute advantage over speed. Extreme Lightning Mirages makes things easier because these bandits'' presence sense is basically nothing. They are Spirit Masters who focus on Spirit Skills and Spirit Energy maniption rather than physical abilities. Huo Yuhao indifferently stabbed a drunk bandit from behind and covered her mouth with his hand, dragging her forcibly into the darkness. [You have killed a bandit] [Objective: Kills Bandits and the Leader in the vicinity(15/39)] "How could these guys win against Qianye Ying''er guards?" He muttered in disbelief. He overestimated these bandits and failed to realize Spirit Grandmaster is only a regr human with spirit skills. Unless they have a beast-type martial soul that changes their physical capabilities, they don''t stand a chance against him. Huo Yuhao''s current overall abilities are on par with Spirit King with five spirit rings. He could even defeat some people with higher realms by catching their guards, using the unorthodox method. "Whatever, that''s an error on my side." Hemented while moving in the shadow of the abandoned mines. Huo Yuhao arrived at the decent-sized space within the mines and saw some people in cages. "Hmm, maid and servants?" He stared at them solemnly. He moved his gaze somewhere else and watched the bandits drinking beer. After brief nning, he jumped off the vent andnded on their tables, using Eas to create a pistol with a silencer. "What-!" "Who-!" He pulled the trigger quickly and killed all of them, watching their lifeless bodies fall to the ground like ragdolls. All of them have small holes in their foreheads. [You have killed a bandit] [You have killed a bandit] [You have killed...] [...] People in the cages blinked and watched this sight with shocked expressions. "H-Help us!" "Please!" "Shut up..." He coldly red at the people in the cages. "I''ll save youter. These guys are more important now." "Don''t make annoying noises. For fuck sake, you''ll alert them." Huo Yuhao disappeared from their sight and left a bunch of floating ashes behind. He destroyed the rest of the bandits in the abandoned mines and breathed out as that was a good warm-up for the Leaderter. ... The Leader felt a cold atmosphere in the abandoned mine and rubbed his neck while looking around weirdly. It''s not a winter season, nor have there been rains in the past two days. "Hey, bring me some booze!" He yelled, but no response came from outside. "These useless morons... Are they drunk again? I swear the god, I''ll fucking kill them allter." He walked from his seat and pushed the door, sensing an object moving in his peripheral vision. "Motherfucker!" He spun around and transformed into an even bigger guy, having red furs all over his body. The Leader failed to notice the white blur in the air and punched the iing boulder with all his strength. His mouth twitched in annoyance, but what came next scared the living shit out of him. "Huh?" A sharp object suddenly pierced his neck. He turned around again and saw nothing, feeling a heavy smack on the back of his head. BAM! The Leader was sent flying back to his room and saw a kid with a weird-looking mask walk into the room. He couldn''t breathe properly for some reason and felt a cold gaze on his soul. "W-Who the fuck are you?!" He roared while summoning his spirit rings. They are standard for Spirit Kings, which were two yellow and three purple spirit rings. Huo Yuhao didn''t bother responding and headed toward the Leader, leaving some afterimages. "me Prison!" The fifth spirit ring immediately released a bright purple light. Huo Yuhao sensed fire elements gathered around him and formed a crimson prison made of me. "Haha, die-!" [You have resisted the attack] [You will not receive any fire damage lower than your fire resistance ] Huo Yuhao jumped out of the me prison and created a heavy sword with Eas, feeling the Avenger ss activated upon the touch on the handle. He rotated his whole body and added momentum to this attack. "Red Hawk." Avenger''s first unique skill. Attacking the enemy byunching a sword attack in the shape of a fiery hawk. BAM! "No way, my fire..." The Leader was swept over by the red hawk and felt his entire burning. He released a muffled scream as the paralyzed poison affected his nervous system. Huo Yuhaonded on his chest and asked, "Who hired you to ambush these people? Answer me, and I''ll save your life immediately." "Q-Qianye X-Xuanji." The Leader said with great difficulty because the poison had spread all over his body. He couldn''t sense anything except seeing a cold smirk forming on Huo Yuhao''s face through the lower gap of his mask. "Y-You DEMON-!!!" WOOSH! A purple me covered both of them, but Huo Yuhao wasn''t affected by it. He looked down at the Leader''s furious expression and pulled Baruka''s Dagger from his neck. "Well, I didn''t have ck-Tined Grass and Royal Zoysia Grass anymore to make this paralyzing poison. It''s effective against Spirit King like him" The Baruka''s Dagger was coated with dark liquid. There are a few droplets left after poisoning the Leader''s body. Huo Yuhao a sigh of relief because his surprise attack worked pretty well against this guy. He used three types of Haki and essentially overkilled him. [Objective: Kills Bandits and the Leader in the vicinity(36/39)] "36 only? Ah, the only remaining bandits are probably those guys before." Huo Yuhaomented while checking the Leader''s room, finding some documents not-rted to the mission. "Evo, scan the whole area and give me the location of rare materials. I''ll collect them while walking out." [Okay, Host] Huo Yuhao looted the abandoned mines fast and rescued the prisoner from this ce. As he walked out of the bandit hideout, the cliff entered his vision, so he created a sniper rifle with Eas. "Let''s see..." He aimed at the cliff, seeing three people standing there. BAM! [You have killed a bandit] Huo Yuhao pulled the triggers two more times and received the recoil like it was nothing. The survivor watched him in confusion, unaware this kid casually killed three people 700 meters away. [You have killed a bandit] [You have killed a bandit] [You have finished the Quest] [Rewarding 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket and 1x Random Spirit Ring(ck)] "I''ll bring you guys to Qianye Ying''er." Huo Yuhao made the sniper rifle disappear into nothing. "And on the way there, I want some of you to tell me everything that happened at the ambush." "Clear?" They nodded frantically and felt awe inside because such a kid actually has a powerful presence. Huo Yuhao brought them through the forest, and a maid told him about the ident. "It''s not an ident." Hemented casually. "You''re ambushed out of someone''s n." "Eh??" The maid was shocked for a moment. They arrived a few miles outside the vige, and Huo Yuhao ordered them to wait for him. He utilized Extreme Lightning Mirage and returned to the inn. "Mom, I''m back." Huo Yuhao jumped into the window. Huo Yun''er hugged him and replied, "Wee back." However, Their little reunion awakened Qianye Ying''er from her ufortable sleep and made the noble youngdy wipe her eyes gently. "Yuhao?" She looked around in confusion. Huo Yuhao walked to her solemnly and said, "I''ve found the person behind all of this." "Really?" Qianye Ying''er was dumbfounded. She looked at Huo Yuhao with a hopeful look and wanted to know who killed her mother. Hatred has grown inside her young heart. Huo Yuhao nodded and continued, "As expected, it''s one of your family members, maybe your uncle? His name is Qianye Xuanji." Qianye Ying''er suddenly shivered violently as herplexion became pale like a paper sheet. She looked down and couldn''t believe her ears for a moment. "T-There is no way?!" "N-No way..." "That can''t be..." Like losing her hope, Qianye Ying''er fell intoplete silence. "He''s not your uncle?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head in confusion. Qianye Ying''er bit her lips and slowly opened her mouth, "That person isn''t my uncle..." "Q-Qianye Xuanji is..." "Qianye Xuanji is my father." Chapter 21: Organization? Chapter 21: Organization? --- Chapter 21 --- "Qianye Xuanji is my father." As Qianye Ying''er finished her words with a stutter, an absolute silence followed in the room. Huo Yuhao was stunned and stared at this noble girl with a gaped mouth for a moment. "Damn..." Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. He never knows that Douluo Dalu''s dad could be this murderous because even his previous dad wasn''t that cruelpared to them. Yes, That man still provided something for him. "It must be a mistake." Qianye Ying''er clutched on her dress with teary eyes, feeling her world crumble quickly. Huo Yuhao sighed and answered, "You can ask your maids and servants for more information. And unfortunately, I couldn''t find your mother''s corpse in the bandit hideout. They seemed to transport her away before I went there." "Now the question, for what reason?" "I don''t know." Qianye Ying''er was a naive girl. Everything was fine for her until yesterday because a warm-loving family and happiness went down in a mere day. Qianye Ying''er slowly crumpled in fear because she couldn''t trust anyone now. She was beyond terrified and even traumatized at this point. Huo Yun''er leaned on the wall and eyed the golden and ck glow above the girl''s head to be bnced. It should be impossible because Luck and Doom Qi couldn''t coexist in bnce without external cause. "Ah..." She stared at Huo Yuhao. His luck is influencing Qianye Ying''er indirectly, making everything that happens from now on somehow rted to him. Usually, It would be a horrible idea to keep them together, but that one girl named Xiao Xiao also experienced the same thing. Yae said that Divine Dragon tends to mark people regardless of gender. It''s usually an act of honoring a potential mate or loyal subordinate. And Huo Yun''er didn''t like the direction this was going. She should be the only one who possessed Huo Yuhao''s love and passion. Even though Huo Yun''er sympathizes with Qianye Ying''er unfortunate fate, she doesn''t allow this girl to get away with her beloved son. ''Hao''er. We aren''t even leaving White Tiger Mansion for one day yet. And you have marked two girls.'' She thought solemnly. Huo Yun''er being possessive is normal because her extreme son''splex and Nine-Tailed Fox''s bloodline flow inside her body. However, she also understands that Divine Dragon was beyond her ability. "This is the only way." She hugged Qianye Ying''er. "Cry, child. Today is an exception." Qianye Ying''er began to cry and hugged Huo Yun''er back like she was her mother. She felt the familiar motherly warmth and slowly fell asleep again. "What a day." Huo Yun''ermented while patting Qianye Ying''er on the back. Huo Yuhao chuckled helplessly and replied, "Tell me about it. We escaped one hole and fell to another within a day. I feel the Qianye n will arrive here soon and begin to spout some nonsense about the fake ambush." "Hmm, How do you know about that?" "Guts feeling." He added while shrugging his shoulders. ... ... Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun''er, and Qianye Ying''er moved out at midnight and met with the servants again. "Youngdy!" They were excited when they saw Qianye Ying''er again. [You have received the main Quest] [Name: Start An Organization] [Objective: Built a base(0/1) and have at least 200 loyal subordinates(0/200)] [Reward: 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket and 1x Random Training Ground] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao pressed "Yes." immediately because he couldn''t deny such a quest with good rewards. He nned a few things in his mind and peeked at Qianye Ying''er alongside her surviving servants. There are 14 of them, including Qianye Ying''er herself. [Objectives: Built a base(0/1), have at least 200 loyal subordinates(1/200] "I guess that one subordinate was my mom." Hemented casually. "All of you, hear me out." "I''ll give you a choice. Will you follow me and survive in this world together or return to Qianye n." They abruptly be silent, and Qianye Ying''er has such aplicated expression on her face. She stood before her servants and looked Huo Yuhao in the eyes. "I can''t return to the Qianye n." Qianye Ying''er politely said while lowering her head to Huo Yuhao. "I''ve realized returning to such a ce will put my servant and me in danger, so please take care of us." "This is a selfish request from the deepest part of my heart, but I''ll pay you with everything I had." Her amethyst eyes shone with determination. It''s not hard for Qianye Ying''er to realizeing back to Qianye n was a horrible choice. No one besides Qianye Ying''er and her mother knew about her innate ability when reaching six years old a few days ago. She could see one''s heart with her eyes, knowing their deepest desire and nature. Huo Yuhao''s soul was brilliant gold with the most beautiful blue light. It shows his ambition and free will to help them out of this situation. "Sure." Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. "I''ll take care of you all under one premise. Absolute Loyalty." "I''ll do it. Qianye Ying''er pledged her absolute loyalty to Huo Yuhao." She bent her body like a nobledy while raising her robe slightly. [2/200] Evo showed the Quest''s progression. "W-We''ll do the same." The servants of Qianye Ying''er bowed before Huo Yuhao, increasing the progression even more. ''That would be fifteen, not bad for a start.'' Huo Yuhao thought while telling them to stand up again. He nced at the Abandoned Mines and thought of something for a moment. He couldn''t keep that ce alone because they might be able to trace themter. "Go to the North. I''ll follow you guys shortly after." Huo Yuhao instructed them naturally. "And Mom, please prevent them from doing foolish things." Huo Yun''er giggled and replied, "Okay." "What are you going to do, though?" Huo Yuhao summoned Eas and indifferently answered, "Erasing our traces." He quickly disappeared like a ghost and came to the Abandoned Mines again with some explosive barrels of Eas''s copies, loading them all withpact Thunderfire. He positioned them inside the weak spots of this ce, setting them to explode in the morning. "I want to make it as natural as possible, but that would take too much time." Huo Yuhao jumped off the mountain and followed his group. ... As the morning sun ascended, the people of the vige awoke from their sleep and began their usual activities. Yet, a loud boom suddenly echoed within the mountain range. BOOM! SWOOSH! The abandoned mines exploded from inside, and an enormousndslide descended, causing massive panics among the vigers. "What?" "What happened?!!" "T-The mountain is gone!" "Everyone, a hugendslide ising. Take your family away immediately!" Fortunately for them, Huo Yuhao calcted the cause and made it so that thendside moved to the cliff. That portion ofnd would get buried alongside the evidence of Qianye Ying''er existence. He''s not evil enough to kill innocent people. And as Huo Yuhao expected, a group of people from the Qianye n came to the crime scene and witnessed a destroyed mountain area. They obviously questioned how something like this happened, but these vigers didn''t even know because it was at the start of the morning. They are too panicked to understand. "God Damn it!" A middle-aged man with long gray hair smashed a rock in a fury. "I was so close... With their sacrifice, I could advance to the next realm effortlessly. My wife''s blood isn''t enough. I need Ying''er toplete the ritual." A woman kneeled and said, "S-Sir Xuanji, should we go to the Star Luo Imperial City? She might be there." Qianye Xuanji clicked his tongue in annoyance and replied, "No, that can''t be. Since he said Ying''er would follow my wife soon in the bird carrier, that girl must have been running away. Ying''er is an intelligent child. She wouldn''t go to the Star Luo Imperial City because it would be too obvious." "It was such a great n to paint my brother in a bad light. Now everything is ruined." He continued while summoning his nine spirit rings, releasing his Title Douluo''s presence. "Search everything within 100 kilometers radius. Dig all this dirt because I want everyst bit of trace you could find." "I have to find Qianye Ying''er. She''s thest part for me to awaken our buried lineage..." "The Legendary Qian n. No, Seraphim shall appear in this world once again!" Qianye Xuanji tried to reach the sky with his hand. ... ... Huo Yuhao and hispanion purchased a medium-sized carriage and some horses, driving to the northern side of the Star Luo Empire. "Eh, Organization?" Huo Yun''er stared at her son with a surprised expression. "You wanted to build one?" Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Yeah, It''s not a poor n. We needed a strong foothold to survive in this world, and creating an organization isn''t a bad start." "That''s why..." Qianye Ying''er muttered to herself. She was amazed at Huo Yuhao''s ambition and marveled at his firm belief at such a young age. "Um, do you have the name of the organization?" Huo Yuhao smiled because Naga suggested a cool name for him once. The Divine Dragon was somehow able to give him so many brands for several scenarios, but one stuck in his mind until now. He grinned widely and said, "Yes, I have one." "Our Organization shall be called Dragon Nest." Chapter 22: Northern Sea City Chapter 22: Northern Sea City --- Chapter 22 --- Northern Sea City. A beautiful coastal city on the edge of the Star Luo Empire with a somewhat peaceful environment throughout the years, It was a great ce to trade but has had some problems with the sea recently. "We have arrived in the city." A carriage stopped inside the Northern Sea City. Huo Yuhao''s head slowly poked out of the carriage''s cover, and a refreshing yet salty air instantly invaded his nose. A beautiful blue sea entered his vision, making him stunned for a moment. It was one of the most beautiful sceneries he had ever witnessed in his entire life. "How beautiful." Hemented to himself. A long sandy beach and even sea rocks enhanced this scenery more. "It is." Huo Yun''er nodded in agreement. She never went out of her free will, and to see such beautiful scenery now made her eyes shine in amazement. She honestly missed out on many things in her life. Qianye Ying''er tilted her head in confusion because Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er were unaware of the outside world. They are strong, especially Huo Yuhao. Yet, their knowledge of a simple thing like Northern Sea City andmon sense is almost zero. ''It''s weird, they are somewhat sheltered, but I''ve never heard about Huo n. Are they part of those secret ns?'' She thought while staring at the mother and son duo. Huo Yuhao picked up a pouch of gold coins from his inventory and threw it at the nearest servant. "Buy as many daily life necessities as you can with this money. I''ll explore this city in the meantime." He said while pulling Huo Yun''er with him. "And let''s meet again at noon." "What about me?" Qianye Ying''er asked naturally. "You can follow us." He smiled at her. "Cover your face because we can''t let anyone know our identity. Ah, this applies to all of us." Huo Yuhao pointed at the servants and added, "You guys too." They nodded and spread across the Northern Sea City, doing different things. Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er marveled at the city atmosphere, enjoying the walk around the za. This ce isn''t that bigpared to Star Luo Imperial City, but even the big city in his previous life looks like a joke. "No pollution, great." Huo Yuhaomented with a smile under his hood. Qianye Ying''er nervously looked around and questioned, "Um, are you not worried my father was chasing us?" Huo Yuhao shrugged and answered, "We are over a thousand kilometers away from the Star Luo Imperial City, leaving no traces of the Abandoned Mines. They shouldn''t be able to locate us for a few days." "I know a Title Douluo could fly, but your father is likely trying to search you all over that destroyed mine first. He wouldn''t move far for a while. "I see..." Qianye Ying''er fell into deep thought. Huo Yuhao grabbed Qianye Ying''er by her hand and pulled her into a street food block. They bought so many things on the way and ended up on the corner of the city with several boxes of seafood. "That was fun." The formerly youngdy said with a smile. "Hao''er, open your mouth. This roasted octopus looks delicious, doesn''t it." Huo Yun''er fed her beloved son, to which he responded by opening his mouth. Huo Yuhao chewed on the roasted octopus and frowned inside because itcked seasonings. Still, good enough to be sold as street food. "Mhm, not bad." He asked for more. Huo Yun''er fed him a few more kinds of seafood, and all of themcked something. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but notice this city doesn''t have docks for ships to sail. It''s a waste because the sea was great for trading and moving goods. "The Oceanic Spirit Beast shouldn''t attack the sailors without a cause, right?" Huo Yuhao frowned at the blue sea because as the Sea God ascended to the Divine Realm, he should have added that rule among his sea followers. "This ce was famous years ago as a tourism destination within the Star Luo Empire. Yet, so many whirlpools suddenly appeared within the coastline, making it impossible to reach beside thend route." Qianye Ying''er stated calmly. "You know a lot about these things, Ying''er." Huo Yuhao teased her a little. The youngdy reddened and responded, "W-Well, this is just afternoon gossip among the noble kid circle. I also learned geography with my aunt." "Then, do you know something about the whirlpools?" Huo Yun''er ced a fish cake into her mouth. "You said years ago, right? Those nobles should know something." "That''s the mystery. No one could guess the source of these whirlpools'' sudden appearance, even the locals. They just appeared." Qianye Ying''er shook her head. "Though, some people said it was Oceanic Spirit Beast''s anger toward the fisherman." "Anger, huh?" He chewed on the spicy grilled squid with an intrigued expression. Huo Yuhao utilized Kenbunshoku Haki and Eyes of the Lord, observing the Northern Sea City''s coastline with extreme detail. Everything within a 1-kilometer radius entered his vision, even below the water. At the bottom of the sea, Huo Yuhao could see little fishes and oceanic spirit beasts moving naturally. They were swimming left and right until an enormous shadow brushed them off. [Name: Saltwater Golden Crocodile] [Age: 15.000 years old] [Description: Saltwater Golden Crocodile is an oceanic spirit beast that consumed Heaven and Earth''s treasure, growing into a new spirit beast with a thin ancient bloodline] "Huh??" ... ... They returned to the carriage at noon and met with the servant, but Huo Yuhao still couldn''t shake the fact there was a treasure ind near this city. Heaven and Earth''s treasure could only grow within the right environment. An example of that was Sunset Forest, where so many reres herbs grew into 100.000 years old Spirit Beasts and gained human-like intelligence. And Huo Yuhao cannot miss this chance. ''S Rank Luck is putting a big favor on my side.'' He thought while telling everyone his n. They would stay in the Northern Sea City for a day or two, uncovering the treasurend near this ce. "Err, are you joking?" Qianye Ying''er was speechless. Huo Yuhao proudly puffed his chest and replied, "I''m not. And We have enough time to organize our n before your father arrives here." "Hao''er wouldn''t lie about such a thing. Unless you want to go on your own, that''s it." Huo Yun''er indifferently chuckled at them, making the servant shiver. Qianye Ying''er nodded and stated, "Very well, we''ll rent the nearest inn in the city. Also, Please don''t tease us like that, ma''am. We don''t have any choices besides following your orders." Huo Yun''er slowly nced at the servant and smiled yfully at them, "I want to make things straight within our group. So remember that you pledged your absolute loyalty to Hao''er." "Yes." Qianye Ying''er responded helplessly. They are indeed the ones who were indebted to Huo Yuhao, which means refuting his order means their abandonment. He could toss them at any moment. "Okay, don''t make the atmosphere ufortable." Huo Yuhao sighed while looking at them. "We are here to find a safe ce, not to fight each other." "Hehe~!" Huo Yun''er hugged him tightly. "My Hao''er is such a good leader." As Huo Yuhao nned, they rented some rooms at the nearest inn and organized themselves for every scenario. He gave them a breather tonight because they had been traveling for a long distance today. "Evo, sort all my rewards from the chain quests." Huo Yuhao said while resting on the bed. [Sorting...] [You have obtained 9 Bronze, 2 Silver, and 1 Gold Upgrading Tickets] [As for the other rewards from the chain quests, 1x Random Spirit Ring(Purple) and 1x Random Spirit Ring(ck)] Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and asked, "These spirit rings, will they have the piece of consciousness left?" [No. The Spirit Ring only has the pure essence, making it easier for you to absorb] "I see... Then, I want to convert my upgrading tickets to a higher grade." He said while staring at the ceiling. "I want to use Gold Upgrading Tickets on my new Spirit Rings." [Converting...] [...] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(3), Gold(2)] "Upgrade." [Using 2 Gold Upgrading Tickets on 2x Random Spirit Ring(Purple&ck)] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired 2x Random Spirit Rings(Red)] [Do you want to check them out?] Huo Yuhao grinned and replied, "Hehe, let me see the upgraded reward." [Opening the Random Spirit Rings...] [...] [Name: Space Worm] [Type: Spirit Ring/Spirit Beast] [Age: 200.000 Years Old] [Description: A worm lived in the depth of void, having an ethereal body that could absorb spatial elements within the atmosphere and create a wormhole to teleport] [Spirit Skills: Spatial Maniption, Wormhole, Sub-Space] [Name: Monster-Sealing Sakura Tree] [Type: Spirit Ring/Spirit Beast] [Age: 210.000 Years Old] [Description: A mystical cherry blossom tree used to seal demons over a hundred thousand years. It has an inborn suppression against monster-like creatures and the ability to reproduce itself] [Spirit Skills: Bane of Monster, Self-Clones, Sakura Sealing Arrays] "Oh, wow... That was unexpected." Huo Yuhao scanned the system panel with a surprised look. "And Chains of Heavens is the only martial soulpatible with these spirit rings." [Do you want to absorb Space Worm and Monster-Sealing Sakura Tree Spirit Rings?] Evo created a new panel. [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao breathed in topose himself and said, "Yes." Chapter 23: New Abilities Chapter 23: New Abilities --- Chapter 23 --- "Yes." Huo Yuhao sat on the bed and straightened his back, inhaling air into his lungs. He closed his eyes and prepared himself to absorb two red spirit rings from the system. Chains of Heaven manifested themselves in the bedroom, hovering around him like a snake. [Processing...] [Transferring Space Worm and Monster-Sealing Sakura Tree Spirit Rings to Chains of Heaven] "Do it." Huo Yuhao whispered to Evo. [10%] A crimson spirit ring with two golden marks appeared out of nowhere and floated above Huo Yuhao''s head. It gradually moved to the Chain of Heaven and released faint white light. "This is how it feels, huh?" Huo Yuhao could feel foreign energy invade the Chains of Heaven''s position in his chest, merging into it. Warm vibrancy like flowing water spread over his nerve and meridian, ustoming them to Spirit Skills from Space Worm. [50%] Huo Yuhao could feel a weird sensation in the air and grasp their locations. It''s like extra material or maybe existing things from the beginning. [69%] Another crimson spirit ring with two golden marks appeared out of thin air and moved to the Chain of Heavens. A faint scent of cherry blossoms invaded Huo Yuhao''s nostrils. His entire body became heavy like extra weights suddenly were added to his shoulders. Huo Yuhao waited for two hours and sighed in relief because the added weight had disappeared from his shoulders. He opened his eyes and saw the progression bar. [100%] [Congrattion, Host] "Open my status." Huo Yuhao said while stretching his neck a little. [Opening Status Window...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 6] [Race: High Human] [Sub-Races: True Dragon(+), White Tiger(+)] [ss: Assassin, Avenger, Pdin, Archer] [Cultivation Realm: Level 29] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(+), The Eyes of the Lord(+), Chains of Heaven(2+)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Dagger Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(21), Baruka''s Dagger(A), Failure(Locked)] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(3)] Huo Yuhao noticed two more additional tabs on the Chain of Heaven section. He clicked on it, checking the newly acquired abilities. [1st Spirit Ring] [Spatial Maniption] [Description: Manipte the space around you ording to your will, using spirit energy as a medium] [Wormhole] [Description: Create a wormhole to cross between two different locations, using more spirit energy based on the distances] [Sub-Space(Passive)] [Description: A sub-dimensional space inside the Chains of Heaven. It could trap living beings for an indefinite amount of time but trapping one for a "longer." period would use your spirit energy faster] [2nd Spirit Ring] [Bane of Monster(Passive)] [Description: Your existence alone pressures any monster-like creature, weakening all their attributes by 10%] [Self-Clones] [Description: Self-clones the Chains of Heavens up to 200 copies, each having 50% strength as the original] [Sakura Sealing Arrays] [Description: Construct a 50-meters radius domain with a beautiful cherry blossom tree in the middle using the Chains of Heaven. It could strip and weaken elemental-based attacks by 50% and increase the gravity inside by 200% without affecting the caster] "Heh, I reached level 29 in one go." Huo Yuhao grinned happily because these spirit skills were "extremely." useful for him. The first spirit ring is always "important" to a Spirit Master because it''s the base and Spatial Maniption is such a versatile ability. And there is the Self-Clones ability, which allows Huo Yuhao to copy the Chains of Heaven up to 200 and create more than one Sakura Sealing Arrays simultaneously. His future enemy would get pressured for eternity with enough spirit energy. "There are also two passive spirit skills that could "potentially" make anyone suffer in my hand." Hemented with a cold chuckle. "Haha, I''m a Walking Prison now." Huo Yuhao tried to lift his body off the bed and felt everything was unbnced. He staggered for a moment, and everything was fine a minuteter with High Human''s adaptability. "That''s weird." Hemented while rubbing his forehead. "My senses are extra sensitive after absorbing the spirit rings. It would take a while to fix, but nothing negative after it." Huo Yuhao yawned and said, "Mom should return soon. I''ll take a bath then." Huo Yun''er was currently outside, buying some clothes for them with Qianye Ying''er. Even though Huo Yuhao said he could make durable clothes easily with Craftsmanship skills, she insisted on purchasing good-looking ones for him. Every good mother somehow had the same instinct. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun''er brings Qianye Ying''er isn''t just for shopping. They are having a "serious." conversation with each other as a female behind his back, like Xiao Xiao at the Star Luo Imperial City. The mother with a sonplex wants to ensure a boundary among the girl he has encountered. ... ... The following day was uneventful because Huo Yuhao woke up on the bed with drool on his cheek. He woke up out of instinct because he usually began to do daily quests right now. "Yeah, I forgot we escaped White Tiger Mansion." He rubbed his eyes in annoyance. Huo Yuhao looked around and saw Huo Yun''er beside him in a white sleeping gown. She looks absolutely stunning with her pale blonder hair scattered on the pillow like golden threads. "A new day, it is." He kissed her on the forehead and jumped off the floor excitedly, starting with some warm-ups. An hourter, Huo Yun''er furrowed her brows and woke up from her deep slumber, seeing her son''s sweaty, shirtless body at the beginning of the day. "Is this heaven?" A warm sensation rushed to her head and flowed through her nose. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "It is not, Mom. Don''t joke around like in the morning." "Yes, this is heaven." The morning started with Huo Yun''er stuffing her nosebleed with cotton. She went to the inn''s kitchen and asked the owner for permission to cook there, which was allowed instantly. Huo Yuhao stabbed a piece of meat with his fork and ate it while staring at the Northern Sea City from the window. The scenery is still beautiful, even on the second day. "Good morning." Qianye Ying''er greeted him with a smile. She carried a te with a standard egg and bacon breakfast and sat on the chair beside Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Morning. How was your sleepst night?" "Better than yesterday. I still have a horrible nightmare about it, but nothing that I can''t handle on my own." The youngdy giggled. A heart-wrenching trauma couldn''t get healed instantly. Huo Yuhao knew that very well because he couldn''t ept his adopted mother''s death in his previous life. "It''s okay to cry when you want to. No one would stop you from doing it as long as I''m on your side." Huo Yuhao unknowingly spouted a cheesy line. The mood became awkward, and he started to devour his breakfast like no tomorrow. Qianye Ying''er looked down at her te with an overwhelmed feeling in her young heart. She blushed when remembering Huo Yuhao''s gentle look a second ago, coughing a few times to calm herself. A noble youngdy has to stayposed all the time. "Ehem, Thank you." She replied gently. Huo Yun''er entered the room and brought over a trolley with several dishes, cing them on the table for Huo Yuhao. "Here, eat more, Hao''er." She said while taking a seat on another side of her son. "Eat more, so you can have more energy today." She red at Qianye Ying''er for a moment and smiled at Huo Yuhao. Qianye Ying''er swayed her little head away because of herst conversation with Huo Yun''er. The adult woman was marking her territory around Huo Yuhao. ''What a woman.'' The youngdy thought while sighing to herself. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao could only watch in defeat because their intention was clear to him. He ate his breakfast, enjoying every dish silently. ... ... "Hmm, any of you wanted to follow me today?" Huo Yuhao asked while wearing his hooded cloak. He also wore the White Goblin Mask to cover his face. Huo Yun''er smiled and responded, "Unfortunately, I have to meditate to recover my spiritual energy." "I''ll search for some relevant information with the servants. It might help our journeyter." Qianye Ying''er replied naturally. Huo Yuhao shrugged and went out, whistling casually on the quiet road. After a few minutes of talking with locals, he arrived at the fisherman docks. He searched for the oldest fisherman in the docks and saw a middle-aged guy punching a shark. "What a badass guy." He couldn''t help butment amusingly. "Sir, can I have your attention for a moment?" "Go away, kid. This ce isn''t for you," The middle-aged man mmed the shark down. "You''re too young to handle the sea." Huo Yuhao looked down at the poor shark and realized it was a 100 hundred years old oceanic spirit beast. He quickly was convinced this middle-aged guy was a boss around here because the Southern Sea City''s citizens didn''t have cultivation like him. "Spirit Master." Huo Yuhao said, which made the middle-aged man frown for a moment. "I saw three spirit rings when you punched that poor shark." "And?" He chuckled back at him. "Knowing I was a Spirit Master is nothing to me." Huo Yuhao smirked and added, "Too bad. You are poisoned by something, right?" "Tense muscles and ck circles around your eyes. A healthy Spirit Master shouldn''t have such conditions with enough rest unless you got poison inside your body." "H-How did you..." "Brat, how did you know I was poisoned?!" "That wasn''t important. Let''s have a simple trade, old man." Huo Yuhao leaned on the wooden pole near him. "I''ll save your life, and you have to be my subordinate." Chapter 24: Treasure? Chapter 24: Treasure? --- Chapter 24 --- Hearing Huo Yuhao''s bold statement, the middle-aged fisherman couldn''t help but frown weirdly. "Your subordinate? Brat, you don''t even look like ten years old." Hemented while summoning his spirit rings to scare him. "Damn, this is worse than I thought." Huo Yuhao jumped into the boat casually and tapped the middle-aged man''s throat, stunning him for a moment. He summoned Eas and transformed one de-like wing into a bunch of silver needles. "Let''s see... I''ll stab you around here, and vo~!" He said while poking around the chest area, causing a ck liquid to pour out from the middle-aged man''s body. Huo Yuhao whistled and waited for the poison toe out of this middle-aged man''s body. The alchemist in the cultivation world is a versatile master skill because he can do more than create pills, medicine, or poison. He could formte a method to heal someone from a deathbed situation with his observation skill alone. Cough! The middle-aged man coughed a mouthful of ck blood in his lungs. He wiped his mouth in disgust and felt way better than before, staring at the blue-haired kid with an awed look. "Feel much better, right?" Huo Yuhao smirked at him. "Here, drink this medicine to expel the leftover poison inside your body." A ss bottle filled with pink-like liquid flew to the middle-aged fisherman. "Brat, who are you?" He grabbed the potion with a solemn look. "There is no way a normal child could heal me...'' "I went to the Star Luo Imperial City and asked physicians for help, but they couldn''t find a way to dissolve Deep Sea Sting Ray''s Poison." "Well, let''s start by introducing ourselves. Shall we?" Huo Yuhao said while patting the shark''s head on the boat''s deck. "My name is Yun Long." "Yun? What a coincidence, My name is Yun Han." The middle-aged man responded with a curious expression. It''s not like having Yun as a family name is rare, but to think his little savior possesses the same one surprises him. Yun Han was a middle-aged man in histe fifties, having gray-colored hair and a beard. He wore a tight sailor outfit, hugging his bulging muscle. Huo Yuhao nodded and added, "As I said beforehand, you''ll be my subordinate from now on. I saved your life already." Yun Han chuckled in defeat because he couldn''t do anything to fight back in this situation. The kid before him wasn''t even afraid of Spirit Elder. What a day. "Why do you need an old man like me, kid?" He asked while downing the potion, trusting Huo Yuhao won''t harm him after doing such a big favor. "I''m too old to be your bodyguard, and it''s not like you need one from what I''ve seen so far. No kids are brave enough to step into ck Lagoon." "Well, I''m not an ordinary kid." Huo Yuhao shrugged casually. "I can see that." Yun Han picked a beer to wash out the poison aftertaste in his mouth. Huo Yuhao pointed his finger at the far-away sea from the Northern Sea City and added, "I want information about the whirlpools in the coastal area. Even though people here say it was a mystery and anger toward the fisherman, I believe there is more than that." Yun Han was quiet for a moment and drank the beer with a gloomy look because the whirlpools were a topic he didn''t expect toe out of his kid''s mouth. He sighed and told everything he knew slowly. Huo Yuhao listened carefully and heard that Northern Sea City used to be a small town, but a ck lightning strike abruptly descended from the sky and swept over the coastline. It was the beginning of the whirlpools, closing the sea travel path. The Northern Sea City''s fishermen tried to use so many methods to pass the whirlpools, but none of them survived getting devoured into the sea. The people here don''t want to talk about this because they lost their loved ones and are traumatized by the event. Even the younger generation of the Northern Sea City knows nothing about the incident because their parents never returned home. Older people like Yun Han knew enough to tell theplete story, but they stayed quiet and didn''t want to make kids go there. "Why didn''t you ask for help?" Huo Yuhao asked while staring into Yun Han''s eyes. Yun Han stopped drinking and responded, "Do you think we haven''t asked for help? We tried, but it was useless. Even a Title Douluo couldn''t help us nor revive the death. The city is declining quickly, making everything hard for us." "Some left for better opportunities while the hurting one stays to remember the dead." A desperate voice escaped his mouth. ... "What''s the strongest oceanic spirit beast you''ve seen near the coastline?" Huo Yuhao suddenly questioned, which left Yun Han speechless for a second. "I''m just curious." Yun Han pondered for a moment and replied, "I''ve seen 10.000 years old oceanic spirit beasts like Saltwater Crocodiles and Monkey-faced Eel on the border, but as long as you didn''t provoke them. They won''t bother to hurt you." "Although some of my dead friends told me they have seen an enormous snake around the whirlpools." "Snake?" Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. "Yeah, Snake." They kept talking for several hours, and Huo Yuhao rested his head on the boat with a weird expression. He looked around and saw there weren''t many people on the docks. There are only Yun Han and his friends. "Evo, Scan." [Scanning...] The whole coastline was scanned by Evo and transferred to Huo Yuhao''s mind in real-time. He closed his eyes and watched the beautiful sea from underwater, seeing more than he could before with Kenbunshoku Haki. A bunch of lights entered his visions, some rare materials of the sea. He also grasped the Saltwater Golden Crocodile''s location five kilometers away from the dock, sleeping soundlessly on the bottom of the sea. "Evo. I want you to keep monitoring the area and share with me the new changes." He said while staring at the sea. "I''ll catch a crocodile." [Noted...] Huo Yuhao called Eas and created a diving mask with it. He grasped the location between the dock and the target with Spatial Maniption, creating a wormhole above the sea surface. Since Huo Yuhao wasn''t familiar with his Spirit Skills yet, his calction was off several meters away. Well, it was good enough. He created another wormhole beside the Saltwater Golden Crocodile, sending the Chains of Heaven to the wormholes. "Here we go." Huo Yuhao created the third wormhole above Yun Han''s boat. BOOM! The Chains of Heaven appeared and moved through the wormholes, catching the Saltwater Golden Crocodile effortlessly. A fifteen meters long saltwater crocodile with golden scales was pulled out of the deep seas, hanging like a keychain before Huo Yuhao''s eyes. It struggled for a few minutes but couldn''t fight back because of the suppression. "That was easy." Huo Yuhao released his Haoshoku Haki and grabbed the oceanic spirit beast''s head. "I know you could understand me..." The Saltwater Golden Crocodile''s eyes be dted and tamer than before. It calmed down and stared at Huo Yuhao with big slitted ck eyes. "Good." He smiled slightly. "You should know something inside those whirlpools, right?" A spirit beast over ten thousand years old could understand human emotion and even know how tomunicate non-verbally. And Huo Yuhao''s Haoshoku Haki makes that easier. The Saltwater Golden Crocodile nodded his head at Huo Yuhao''s question. Huo Yuhao patted the oceanic spirit beast and asked, "Can you bring me there?" "Oh yeah, I''ll call you Goldy from now on." The Saltwater Golden Crocodile growled slowly and nudged his head against Huo Yuhao''s palm. It submitted itself to Huo Yuhao when sensing Haoshoku Haki and Divine Dragon''s bloodline from him. [You have added a new loyal subordinate] [17/200] "That counts?" Huo Yuhao was surprised and nced at the system panel. "Also, that old man has been considered to be my people?" [Yun Han agreed to be your subordinate when you cured his poison] [And Subordinates don''t have to be humans] He chuckled, "My bad then." "What the fuck-!" Yun Han yawned and saw a massive crocodile above his boat. Huo Yuhao waved his hand and shouted, "I''ll be back in an hour! If a beautiful woman was searching for me, tell her I went to the sea, checking the whirlpool." "B-Brat, wait-!" Yun Han shouted back, but Huo Yuhao abruptly disappeared alongside the Saltwater Golden Crocodile. ... ... "Let''s go, Goldy!" Huo Yuhaomanded while clutching the crocodile''s scales. Goldy nodded and swam toward the whirlpools, brushing some weak spirit beasts away. They moved so fast, and some sea creatures could only see gold blur underwater. Huo Yuhao excitedly grinned as he felt no water resistance on his body. Goldy seemed to create a translucent bubble around him, making the ridefortable for him. SWOOSH! They swiftly arrived at the closest whirlpool, one of the sixteen whirlpools in the coastal area. Huo Yuhao used Kebunshoku Haki immediately and saw a towering purple crystal within it, shining with dim blue light. [Name: Moon Monolith(Iplete)] [Type: Materials] [Grade: S+] [Description: A monolith made of moon crystals, having a "strong." gravitational pull on the area. And it could enrich the zone around it with moon essence, transforming barrennd into a sacrednd full of heavenly treasures after a "certain period" of time] [Innate Effect: Moon''s Blessing, +10% Growth Speed] "Haha, Jackpot." Chapter 25: Oceanic Spirit Beasts Chapter 25: Oceanic Spirit Beasts --- Chapter 25 --- "Haha, Jackpots." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes shone excitedly because such a treasure was perfect for the Dragon Nest''s future base development. It''s not at the same level as Yin & Yang Icefire Well in the Sunset Forest, but still a great treasure nheless. "And it''s iplete, meaning the other Moon Monoliths were inside these whirlpools. Combining them would probably boost the innate effect." Hemented while looking around the coastline. Huo Yuhaomanded Goldy to enter the whirlpool, but the oceanic seemed to be wary of something. He frowned and felt a movement near them. "Come out." His Haoshoku Haki caused a spiritual shockwave to spread violently. BOOM! He saw a small porcupine expand before his eyes, reaching the size of a basketball court. He employed Chains of Heaven to restrict the oceanic spirit beast and ced it inside the Sub-Dimensional Space. [Ding! A Quest] [Name: Beginner Tamer] [Objective: Tame 10 Oceanic Spirit Beasts] [Reward: 5 Silver Upgrading Tickets and cksmith Veteran Skill Card] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao epted the Quest and grabbed the Moon Monolith with Goldy''s help, storing it in his inventory. He also noticed the gravitational pull wasn''t affecting him muchpared to other beings like his new pet. "The whirlpool should have disappeared after a day." He said while telling Goldy to move to the next Moon Monolith. Huo Yuhao abused his Haoshoku Haki and Divine Dragon''s presence so much in this Quest. He caught every oceanic spirit beast guarding the Moon Monolith, trapping them inside his Sub-Dimensional Space. And to Huo Yuhao''s surprise, his Spirit Energy consumption was bearable. Even though the oceanic spirit beast he encountered so far never passed the 20.000 years old phase. They are strong enough to threaten Spirit King, especially in the water domain like this. "Phew, three mores." Huo Yuhao burst out of the seawater and breathed in because it''s been fifteen minutes since he was underwater. He brushed his hair away and looked around, finding himself in the middle of the coastline. "How far am I from the city, Evo?" [You''re 17 kilometers away from the Northern Sea City] Evo answered with a dull tone. Huo Yuhao stretched his neck and said, "Well, I haven''t gone for that long. Goldy, do you want to rest?" The Saltwater Golden Crocodile shook his head and waved his small leg excitedly, wanting to swim more. He had witnessed Huo Yuhao''s power and was thrilled to see more of it. "Nice, let''s go to the next whirlpool then." Huo Yuhao patted the crocodile''s head gently. It''s such a weird sight to see a child patting a massive crocodile. He ced the diving mask again, and Goldy submerged himself into the sea. They went to the next whirlpool not far away from them, which had several beautiful coral reefs around it. A blue-skinned seahorse hovered in front of them. [Name: Northern Seahorse King] [Type: Oceanic Spirit Beast] [Age: 50.000 years old] [Description: The Northern Seahorse King was a spirit beast of ancient lineage, having extreme control over water and ice element] SWOOSH! BOOM! The Northern Seahorse Kingunched several ice spears toward Huo Yuhao. And He countered by waving the Chains of Heaven around violently, bending the space around them. "Spatial Whip." A white light spread over twenty meters and swept over the area. BAM! The Northern Seahorse King felt a smack on his head, getting flown away like a ragdoll. He was about to stabilize himself by using water elements around him. However, it was toote. "Suppression." A suppression domain covered the Northern Seahorse King and suddenly was trapped by several ck chains. He stared at Huo Yuhao with a shocked look, watching the young human clench his hand. "That''s 15 in prison. Well, I hope you guys can stay there for a while." Huo Yuhao sent the new oceanic spirit beast into his Sub-Dimensional Space. "I have to finish thest two guys." Goldy waved his heavy muscr tail and pushed them one hundred meters away. He swam even faster than before, ignoring the water pressure around them. "Hmm??" "Goldy, Dodge!" A blinking white light entered Huo Yuhao''s peripheral vision. He kicked the Saltwater Golden Crocodile away and used Eas to create a sturdy shield reinforced with Busoshoku Haki. BAM! Huo Yuhao crumpled behind the shield to minimize the impact and saw a freakingly massive Shrimp Mantis between the gap. It was over twenty meters and possessed a dark-gleam shell. [Name: Adamantite Shrimp Mantis] [Type: Oceanic Spirit Beast] [Age: 42.069 years old] [Description: Adamantite Shrimp Mantis was known to be an evil predator within the deep sea, having a shell that could endure tons of pressure and an attack that could break any defense easily. Yet, it is weak against long-distance attacks] Huo Yuhao held his breath and stared at the Adamantite Shrimp Mantis. His Eyes of the Lords was on instinctively, copying the Oceanic Spirit Beast''s movement. A w moved faster than a bullet approaching Huo Yuhao, and he dodged casually by tilting his head to the left. He clenched his hand into a fist and added Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki. "Whose attacks are stronger?" A grin appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. "You or me?" "Prating Fist." Huo Yuhao mimicked the Adamantite Shrimp Mantis''s movement and fused them into Prating Fist. The seawater around his fist was boiling rapidly, and twelve echoes emerged between them. BOOM! A child''s fist and a giant ck w made contact, creating a muffling noise underwater. Shockwaves collided with each other and sent the seawater up to the sky. "See you next time." Huo Yuhao chuckled and watched the Adamantite Shrimp Mantis''s w crack under his fist. Cracks! The Oceanic Spirit Beast released a defeated cry at the sky and let Huo Yuhao trap himself in the Sub-Dimensional Space. After that, he gave the young human ast affirmation nod. [You have added a new loyal subordinate] [18/200] Huo Yuhao swam to the surface and breathed out because using the Eyes of the Lords to copy someone else''s movement for the first time was an overwhelming feeling. Everything was so slow for a moment, enabling him to see Adamantite Shrimp Mantis''s move in great detail. A golden head nudged Huo Yuhao gently, brushing his palm a few times. "Goldy? At least you''re fine. Your golden scales wouldn''t be able to resist that guy''s attack." Huo Yuhaomented with a chuckle. "There was tons of force behind it. And Don''t be discouraged because you can be more powerful in the future." Goldy nodded and dived under Huo Yuhao, cing him on his back again. He waved the seawater around for a moment and waited for Huo Yuhao''s order. "Let''s collect the Moon Monolith first. That ambush made me forget about the treasure, haha~." ... ... "There is only one whirlpool left. Let''s go." Huo Yuhao stared at the "biggest." whirlpool, spanning over hundreds of meters radius. They moved to the south and were greeted by an "extremely." fast current to the open sea. Thest whirlpool was the main reason Northern Sea City''s fishermen couldn''t travel out because it was blocking the entrance. "What''s that?" Huo Yuhao used his Kenbunshoku Haki and caught a glimpse of the white serpentine body under the seawater. [Name: Imoogi(Snake Dragon)] [Type: Spirit Beast] [Age: 69.900 Years Old] [Description: Imoogi is a Snake-like young dragon that hasn''t be a True Dragon until bing an adult, having control over the weather and the great body of water] "Naga would be disappointed when looking at this." Huo Yuhaomented while staring at Imoogi''s description. "Goldy, go one kilometer away. I''ll fight this guy." "This is something I had to settle by myself." Goldy nodded and paddled to another part of the coastline, watching the iing fight with great anticipation. Huo Yuhao activated Naga''s bloodline and released Chaotic Purgatory Dragon''s Aura on the coast. Several spirit beasts immediately run in fear, while one creature stays and approaches him. A beautiful white-scaled head burst out of the seawater, having two morous yellow eyes. It floated over one hundred meters and blocked the coast with its sheer size. They stared at each other for a moment, having an intense gazing contest. "You should lower your head down." Huo Yuhao dered while pointing his finger down. "And bow to me." The Imoogi sneered and released a faint cry, causing the clouds to gather above them. Heavy rains begin to cover the coastline, making a battle frenzy grin appear on Huo Yuhao''s face because this guy sure has pride. Huo Yuhao''s body released an intense heat, boiling the water around him. A purple-gold spirit ring manifested around him, radiating dim purple rays. "Hehe, I''ll force you to bow." Chapter 26: No More Mystery Chapter 26: No More Mystery --- Chapter 26 --- [You have condensed the 1st Blood Ring] A purple-gold spirit ring peacefully floated behind Huo Yuhao''s body, shining with purple rays. Blood Ring is Special-kind of Spirit Ring in the Douluo Dalu Universe, an exception to the mon." rule. It exuded a strong yet forceful draconic aura, causing the Imoogi to hiss in frustration. It was the condensation of Naga''s bloodline & Life Essence/Ki left within the Purple-med Divine Dragon''s Legacy, allowing Huo Yuhao to utilize Naga''s skills by not consuming anything but stamina. [Name: Naga''s 1st Blood Ring] [Type: Blood Ring/Spirit Ring] [Age: 1.000.000 Years Old(Estimated)] [Description: A condensation of Purple-med Divine Dragon''s bloodline and life essence/Ki, having some unique abilities] [Spirit Skill: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon Body, Extreme Regeneration(Passive), Thunderfire Lord(Passive)] Huo Yuhao smirked because Naga kept his promise and gave him enough starting points. He stared at the Imoogi yfully and activated his Blood Ring. A purple me ignited within Huo Yuhao''s heart, setting a ze that wrapped his entire body. Purple scales grow on his skin, covering his neck and upper chest area. His left arm bes tightlypact like a dragon''s arm, adorning gleaming sharp ws. [Chaotic Purgatory Dragon Body] [Effect: Increase all attributes by 125%] [Extreme Regeneration(Passive)] [Effect: +150% Recovery Speed] [Thunderme Lord(Passive)] [Effect: Enhance Thunderfire''s control and Firepower by 100%] "Naga isn''t lying about this sensation. It''s extremely liberating, making my inner pride resurface outside." Huo Yuhaomented and breathed in, feeling every inch of his body wanting to roar at the sky. "Well, here we go." He inhaled air into his lungs and released a "deafening." dragons roar on the coast. It shook the weather away and called upon thunderous clouds. ROAR! A pair of draconic royal blue eyes gazed at the Snake Dragon like small prey. The Imoogi''s enormous body quivered slightly, watching Huo Yuhao with a surprised gaze. There was a faint fear toward this young human deep inside its heart. Without any warning, Huo Yuhao suddenly disappeared from his position and appeared beside Imoogi''s head. He created and used Wormholes to move instantly there. "Prating Fist." Huo Yuhao bent his entire body and smashed the Imoogi''s head with his Haki-coated fist, sending the oceanic spirit beast flying to the southern coastline. BAM! SWOOSH! A shockwave blew the area apart, making the air current push Huo Yuhao away. He used this event and created a wormhole behind him, appearing above Imoogi''s head. He looked down and summoned Thunderfire, illuminating the southern coast with violet light. The Imoogi obviously won''t let Huo Yuhao attack him like that again and ordered the weather to help. A strong breeze swept Huo Yuhao, yet the monstrous child could only grin at this situation. "Hey, do you know why feeding air/oxygen into a fire is bad?" A childish voice echoed within the storm. "Because it would make it stronger! Your weak breeze wasn''t strong enough to blow my Thunderfire away." "Thanks for the food." Huo Yuhao descended from the sky with purple me covering his entire body and drop-kicked the Imoogi. BOOM! A good chunk of Imoogi''s head scales was smashed and caused severe bleeding. Huo Yuhao clenched his left hand and focused two types of Hakis simultaneously on his knuckle, punching the Snake Dragon''s forehead. BAM! ROAR! The Imoogi let out a painful roar and bashed Huo Yuhao against the nearest cliff. Its scales emitted an intense blue light and caused the seawater around them to ascend to the sky. Huo Yuhao brushed the dust off his face and stared at the water pir. "Heh, that''s more like it." He stayed there a few seconds and watched the Imoogi''s attack approaching him like a raging tidal wave. "Here, take it back." He created a wormhole in front of himself and made another wormhole beside Imoogi''s eyes, sending the water pir back to the oceanic spirit beast. The pressured water can cut almost everything, and fragile things like eyes are one of the easiest to break. The Imoogi tried to sway the water pir away, but it was toote. BOOM! ROAR! Huo Yuhao climbed the cliff and looked down at the Imoogi that destroyed its own right eye. "Oh my, Don''t look at me like that. You should have bowed before me, and I''d not done this, you know." Hemented sarcastically. "Well, it''s about noon. Don''t wanna make my mom worried, so let''s finish this immediately." ROAR! The wind and water around them shifted abruptly, turning into an enormous bluence with a tornado head. The final shot from the Snake Dragon rashly was constructed to beat Huo Yuhao, knowing deep inside this young monster cannot be defeated. Huo Yuhao reacted by covering his dragon arm with Thunderfire and creating bird chirp-like noises. He leaped into the air and moved to Imoogi with his self-created attack. "Thunderfire de." A dragon w with intense Thunderfire pierced the Imoogi''s spear like a hot knife through butter, evaporating everything around it. Huo Yuhao stared at the small horns above Imoogi''s head and waved his dragon w gently, cutting them off. It caused the oceanic spirit beast to be limp and fall into the sea. "Phew, done." He summoned the Chains of Heaven and trapped the Imoogi in his Sub-Dimensional Space. "That was a good test for Naga''s Martial Soul. The troll dragon didn''t lie about his achievement, huh." "Let''s collect thest Moon Monolith and return to the Northern Sea City." ... ... [You have tamed 17 Oceanic Spirit Beasts] [You have finished the Quest] [Calcting the rewards...] [Rewarding 9 Silver Upgrading Tickets and Master cksmith Skill Card] "Sweet. Goldy,e here." Huo Yuhao yelled while waving his hand at the Saltwater Golden Crocodile. A golden head quickly peeked out from the seawater and stared at him. He patted the oceanic spirit beast and asked, "Do you want to follow me or stay here? Nod for follow." Goldy frantically nodded his head and excitedly swam around with exciting movement. He growled and agreed to follow Huo Yuhao anywhere because the young human was a strong master to heed. It''s following an absolute alpha. "Good." Huo Yuhao chuckled cheerfully. They returned to the Northern Sea City and noticed so many people gathering on the docks, watching the coastline with somewhat fear on their faces. Huo Yuhao face-palmed himself and told Goldy to hide underwater. "Of course, people would see. My dumb head was too excited fighting that Imoogi, forgetting the Nothern Sea City''s citizens could basically stay in their backyards with a cup of tea and witness our fight." Huo Yuhao sighed in frustration and created wormholes to travel back to the quiet alley near the dock. He scanned the crowd and saw Yun Han among them. The middle-aged man has a panicked look on his face. "Uugh, I had to tell Yun Han what happened on the coast." He shook his head helplessly. "He should be able to calm the crowd with his exnation." Huo Yuhao used his spiritual energy and brushed Yun Han''s head with it, strong enough to make the old fisherman turn around. "Come here." He waved his hand with a smile on his face. "What the fuck was that!!" Yun Han shouted when reaching the alley. Thank god people are busy watching the coast because they could have heard that frustrated yell. Huo Yuhao rubbed his ears and replied, "Don''t shout. People would know our location, for fuck sake." Yun Han suddenly grabbed Huo Yuhao''s shoulders firmly and began to rock him back and forth, staring at him with a worried look. "I thought you were about to die... No one ever survived the whirlpools, after all." He muttered silently. "I know my limit, old man." Huo Yuhao reassured Yun Han. "And the source behind the whirlpool''s sudden appearance has been uncovered by me. They should have disappearedpletely in a few days." "What?? A-Are you?" "Yeah." "The whirlpool?" "Yeah." "What about the snake?" "It''s a Snake Dragon, but yeah." "Then, everything will be okay from now on??" "For fuck sake, old man. I said, "Yeah." three, no four times already! You''re going senile faster than some girl in the bedroom." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in annoyance. Yun Han scratched his neck because everything felt surreal to him. Even though he couldn''t see anything inly on the coast, witnessing the weather change abruptly with a purple glow and white blur. To think the young child before him aplished such a thing was beyond his understanding. ''I thought he was only a child with ambition... No, this kid is aplete monster.'' He thought while staring at Huo Yuhao''s royal blue eyes. Huo Yuhao leaned on the wall and exined everything to Yun Han. Well, almost everything because there was no way he told him about his abilities. The source of the whirlpools on the coast was a bunch of rocks that dropped from the moon. "What about the rocks?" Yun Han questioned because those things are dangerous to be left alone. Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "I took them away." "Good." The middle-aged man sighed in relief. "Then, What should we do next? Should I exin the disappearance of the whirlpool to the people here?" "Yeah, but don''t tell them about the rocks. It would invite unnecessary problemster because someone will definitely be curious about it. Says that Oceanic Spirit Beasts fought against each other, moving to the open sea after getting injured. That''s more believable and justified, considering the rich environment of the sea here." Huo Yuhao answered naturally. Yun Han pondered for a minute and returned, "But doesn''t that mean the oceanic spirit beast could return anytime and create havoc again? This possibility would make people anxious just thinking about it. " "They won''t because I have a way to prevent that. Trust me." A smirk appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. Chapter 27: Recruits and Workshop? Chapter 27: Recruits and Workshop? --- Chapter 27 --- Yawn~! Huo Yuhao yawned while munching a toasted bread and stared at the Northern Sea City with a weird look. A day quickly passed after he fought the oceanic spirit beasts and unraveled the whirlpools problem, but something unexpected happened. "Fufu~, why the long face? Aren''t you happy people worship you as a hero?" Huo Yun''er poked her son''s cheeks. At the coastline, the cliff he jumped to defeat the Imoogi. Huo Yuhao left a Haoshoku Haki''s mark there with imbuement to repel any wild spirit beasts, causing his strong willpower to resonate for at least several years. However, people in the Northern Sea City mistake it as a great master that drove the Oceanic Spirit Beast away. Even with Yun Han''s detailed exnation to the people here, some people somehow concluded a mysterious master who appeared and saved them all from misery. And Haoshoku Haki''s mark makes it more legit. It''s almost fantasy-like to Northern Sea City as the whirlpool on the coast has caused so much harm to people here, getting freedom after years of suffering. Yes, they also called yesterday''s event Freedom Day. Huo Yuhao was slightly dumbfounded mainly and couldn''t help but question these people''s minds. He was too busy nning their escape from Qianye Ying''er father, thinking of a suitable way to hide from that guy''s radar. "Mom, can you see the Qi Luck in this city?" He suddenly asked Huo Yun''er, who beamed immediately. She giggled and replied, "Hehe~! Everything for my beloved son." Huo Yun''er closed her eyes for a moment and opened them back a minuteter, having a golden tingle in her pink eyes. After skimming around the Northern Sea City, she deactivated her ability and rubbed her chin. "Everything is fine, nothing too extreme. Your action has blessed this city with a decent amount of Qi Luck and ensured prosperity for a few years. Their adoration for you also indirectly increased your Qi Luck, but not much." Huo Yun''ermented with a cheerful tone. "I see..." Huo Yuhao smiled and leaned on the chair. "Oh yeah, where is Ying''er?" Huo Yun''er pondered for a moment and answered, "Ying''er? She was looking around for a sea map in the city center, but they didn''t sell it for some reason. Well, they weren''t selling it because of the whirlpool, to be exact." "Sea Map... That''s one of the easiest things to get." Huo Yuhao responded while thinking about Yun Han. That old fisherman should have one lying around in his boat. Qianye Ying''er suddenly opened the door and entered the room with a smug look. "I found it! We can travel through the sea with this." She excitedly lifted an old-looking sea map. [Name: Yun Han''s Sea Map] [Type: Item] [Grade: A+] [Description: An old sea map drawn by the "oldest." and the most skilled fisherman in the Northern Sea City, Yun Han. It recorded over thousand of sea routes to travel around the Douluo Continent] "Uh, how did you get that?" Huo Yuhao asked, to which Qianye Ying''er responded with a grin. "An old man gave it to me for free. He said he doesn''t need it anymore." Qianye Ying''er replied, which left Huo Yun''er speechless. "Um, Is there something wrong with this map?" Huo Yuhao chuckled because there was nothing wrong with the sea map, but it was somewhat "Rather." useless as Yun Han was his subordinate. He could have asked the old fisherman to create another map. "Good work." He patted Qianye Ying''er on the head and instructed Evo to archive the map into the system while remembering it himself. Qianye Ying''er felt proud inside and giggled, "Hehe~." ... ... Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun''er, and Qianye Ying''er went to the docks and witnessed at least one hundred fishermen preparing their boats. As the coast finally opened again, they could go out like in the past. "Well, you look busy." Huo Yuhao said while looking down at Yun Han. The middle-aged man was adding some metal tes to his boat, fortifying it against the harsh waves of the open sea. Yun Hanughed and answered, "Of course I am. The whirlpools have disappeared, after all. Only dumb fishermen won''t use this chance to explore the open sea." "Hmm, isn''t that girl who asked for the sea map this morning? What are you doing with her?" He returned while noticing the familiar Qianye Ying''er behind Huo Yuhao. He slowly moved to the beautiful woman beside her and was stupefied for a moment. "For the love of god, is that real?" "This is my gorgeous mom, and this is Qianye Ying''er. They are mypanions in this journey." Huo Yuhao while getting hugged by Huo Yun''er. "How envious..." Yun Han cursed because Huo Yuhao had such a beautiful woman on his side. And that girl would also be one in the future. Meanwhile, Huo Yun''er pulled up her hood and wore a veil to cover her face. She seemed to have forgotten about hiding her identity for a moment. It also applies to Qianye Ying''er, who froze on the spot after realizing her mistake. "Sorry..." She whispered while cing a face mask. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "It''s fine. Yun Han was one of Dragon Nest''s members, a new one because I recruited him yesterday." "Dragon Nest?? What are you talking about, kid?" Hearing that question, Huo Yuhao shrugged and exined the surface level of his n to Yun Han. And it makes the old fisherman dumbfounded for a good five minutes. "Let me guess... You wanted to take a ship toward the open sea and find a suitable base to start this organization?" Yun Han suddenly assumed, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. Huo Yuhao leaned on the docks'' wall andmented, "Pretty much, and It''s such a waste not using a skilled subordinate like you, no?" They stared at each other intensely andughed loudly for a few seconds, leaving Qianye Ying''er confused on the side. She couldn''t understand the jokes here. "Don''t stare at me like that." Huo Yun''er sighed while feeling the gaze of the young girl. "Males, in particr, seemed to have an inherent capability to lighten the mood. It''s within their blood, no matter how young or old they were." Qianye Ying''er nodded cluelessly, observing Yun Han with her amethyst-colored eyes. "How odd..." She muttered to herself. Huo Yuhao looked around and noticed not many young men on the docks. "Anyway, do you have people who aren''t "deeply." tied to the Northern Sea City? I wanted to recruit them to the Dragon Nest." He questioned naturally. "Youngsters went to the big city. Northern Sea City only has senior people around now. It''s not an ideal proposal, but I can convince them all to join the Dragon Nest. They would ept your offer at the heartbeat because you''re our savior." Yun Han answered casually. "Even though most of us are fishermen, we also have other jobs like carpenter, cksmith, and doctors that could help your organization in the early development." "Don''t look down on us, Kid. We might be old, but our ages also indicate our rich experience in this world." "I never look down on anyone." Thatst statement makes Huo Yuhao remember his previous father. That man might be old and senile, but his rich experience in the business field was one of the best. "There is no fool like old fools. Nothing can beat experience." "Well, you can tell them about the proposition secretly. I''ll wait until noon." Huo Yuhao said calmly. "Also, you said cksmith before, right? Can you tell me where that person''s workshop is?" Yun Han nodded and told Huo Yuhao to reach the corner of the Northern Sea City. There was a small workshop with a roof made of brick tiles near the beach. "Don''t worry about your identity. I''ll be secretive when talking to recruits." Yun Han addedstly. Huo Yuhao waved his hand at the old fisherman and went to the workshop with his mom and Qianye Ying''er. "That man is an interesting person, but he can''t be my Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''er smiled behind her veils. Qianye Ying''er agreed and added, "Yuhao is stronger and more calctive in every way possible." "Thanks for the praises, but I''m not that great." Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle. They arrived at the beach and saw the cksmith workshop with a brick-tiled roof. Huo Yuhao frowned inside because he could see intense ck spotsing out of that ce. "Hello, anyone inside?" He knocked on the front door, waiting for the response. Huo Yuhao used Kenbunshoku Haki and sensed someone on the floor with faint breathing. The temperature inside the workshop was over what the typical cksmith could handle. He kicked the door and walked inside without permission. "Hmm?" He stared at the burning forge with a weird expression because there was no fuel inside, only a bright-looking stone with an odd aura. [Name: Luan Bird''s Egg] [Type: Spirit Beast/Egg] [Age: 15.000 Years Old] [Description: An abnormal Luan Bird''s Egg that hasn''t hatched after 15.000 years old, which seems to be half-dead with only essence left inside. Luan Bird is known to be rted to the Phoenix and has more spiritual energy than any other bird] "This is perfect for mom." Huo Yuhao reached over the egg and grabbed it casually. The heat wasn''t affecting him because he has Level 120 Fire Resistance. He doesn''t even feel any heating from this thing. Huo Yuhao picked the cksmith on the floor and tossed him outside like a bean bag, controlling the fire inside. After lowering the temperature, he nced at the Moon Monolith''s pieces in his inventory and decided to fuse them here. "Mom, Ying''er. Can you take care of that guy?" He said from the workshop venttion. "Okay." Qianye Ying''er replied while checking on the cksmith''s condition. "Sure." Huo Yun''er nodded slightly. Huo Yuhao stretched his young hand and said, "Let''s start." Chapter 28: Testing Chapter 28: Testing --- Chapter 28 --- "Let''s start this." Huo Yuhao looked around the workshop and grasped the space he had inside this ce. The cksmith workshop wasn''t too small, around 20 by 20 ft space and 10 ft height with feasible air venttion. He summoned Eas naturally and made a workbench with several modern cutting technologies. He wasn''t dumb enough to start everything with his hand, where he could do alternatives like using Eas to create copies of the tool from his previous life. 17 Moon Monolith pieces of different sizes surrounded Huo Yuhao, shining with dim white light under the workshop''s lighting. They have around the same grade and innate effect, besides the one Imoogi guarded, which is ten times bigger than others. [Name: Moon Monolith(Core)] [Type: Treasured Item] [Grade: SS] [Description: A monolith made of moon heart crystals, having an "extreme." gravitational pull on the area. And it could enrich the zone around it with moon essence, transforming barrennd into a sacrednd full of heavenly treasures after a "certain period" of time] [Innate effect: Moon''s Blessing, +20% Growth Speed] [Do you want to fuse all Moon Monolith Pieces?] Evo suddenly stated. [Yes/No] "Oh, I didn''t have to do it myself? Sure, fuse them into one." [Fusing...] Huo Yuhao watched white light escape his skin and fly to the Moon Monolith, causing a change from the inside. He felt a strong connection between them and heard a breaking ss noise. The gravitational pull bes more intense inside the workshop, making the anvil near him crack like crackers. The Moon Monolith turned into purple particles that hovered in the air and merged into one before Huo Yuhao''s eyes. It shrank itself several times and became an orb with a beautiful blue light inside. [Name: Moon Monolith] [Type: Treasure] [Grade: SS+] [Description: A monolith made of moon heart crystals, having an "extreme." gravitational pull on the area. And it could enrich the zone around it with moon essence, transforming barrennd into a sacrednd full of heavenly treasures after a "certain period" of time] [Innate Effect: Greater Moon''s Blessing, +50% Growth Speed] [Do you want to make a connection with the Moon Monolith?] [Yes/No?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao felt new knowledge rushing into his brain. He pricked his finger with a silver needle and dropped his blood onto the Moon Monolith, sensing the same connection as Eas. "Environmental Growth Speed... The effective range is probably 10 kilometers radius. That''s amazing because The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest doesn''t cover that much. It has a weaker effect, but I can upgrade itter." "As long as there was a moon in the sky, Moon Monolith would pull/attract the moon''s essence to the world and enrich thend around it. It''s more effective on the t yet vast terrain without tall trees or mountains because the moonlight could shine better." "Well, I have to find suitablend for that." Huo Yuhao looked around the workshop and picked some leftover pieces from Moon Monolith, feeding them to Eas. "Let''s focus on something else first." [Eas, Level 33] He was surprised and said, "It leveled up 12 times? Well, the leftover pieces were S+ grade materials." Huo Yuhao ced several rare minerals onto his workbench and purified them with Thundefire. After cutting them into several pieces and testing their conductivity with Spirit Energy, he left with two rare minerals from the abandoned mines. [Deep ck Iron] [Formed in the deepyer of the earth, it could withstand heat and ispatible with spirit energy. However, this mineral cannot contain the "spirit energy." for a long time] [Geocentric Milk Crystal] [A rare material that could store Spirit Energy without leaking it for a "long." period. Yet, it cannot directly absorb the energy in the environment, needing the help of vibration to break the process] "It feels like White Room all over again." Huo Yuhao picked another mineral that could store electricity. "I''ve wanted to do this since I reincarnated into this world. What happened when the method of my previous life incorporated Spirit Energy?" Huo Yuhao utilized the Geocentric Milk Crystal as the "main." core of this newly invented technology. After creating the shell with Deep ck Iron and several metal orbs made of conductive materials, he added bearings and assembled them into a ck Rubik-like cube. "The moment of the truth." Huo Yuhao added Thunderfire into the shell, heating it for several minutes. The Cube illuminated withplex red lines and triggered the metal orbs inside to tremble/move in their bearings. This movement bes faster and faster each second, creating kic energy and intense vibration inside. As the vibration broke the core''s barrier, Spirit Energy began to be absorbed by the Geocentric Milk Crystal and contained inside gradually. This rapid process also led to a negative and a positive charge, creating a strong electric current. Huo Yuhao proudly smiled because his first technology ever created in this world was working. He could feel the electricity charging out from the Cube''s corner, enough to make his skin feel tickled. He yed around with the cube "Two in one. The Cube could absorb the spirit energy by heating it rapidly and generating electricity on the side. When the process is over, the spirit energy inside would get contained in the core and cause kic movement again." "This Cube basically converted heat and kic energy into electricity. Hehe, This is not science fiction anymore. And, let''s not call it the Cube. Hmm? What should I name it." Huo Yuhao stared at the ck thing on his palm. "Arc Reactor? Nope, Iron Man has it already." "It''s also a cube..." "Uh... Geo-Reactor?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head slightly because Geocentric Milk Crystal was the "main." part of this work. "Yeah, that''s good enough. G-Reactor for the short sounds cool enough." "Anyway, Let''s create some inventions from my previous world.." ... ... A few hourster. "That''s enough testing for now. At least I know that my previous world''s knowledge is not useless." Huo Yuhao stretches his fingers and unsummoned Eas back to his soul, noticing the scraps on the ground. After burning the byproducts, Huo Yuhao walked out of the workshop and noticed the cksmith was leaning on the coconut tree. He looked around and saw Huo Yun''er ying with seawater on the beach. Qianye Ying''er made a sand castle with bright eyes because this was the most fun experience. "Boo~!" Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared behind Qianye Ying''er, shocking her. "Kyaa!" Qianye Ying''er dropped on the beach and looked up at Huo Yuhao with a pout. "Hmph, how could you tease me like that, Yuhao!" "Well, you''re too focused on the sand castle. There was no way I wasted that chance to tease you." He replied while rubbing his nose. Huo Yun''er walked to them and asked, "How was it, Hao''er? Did you discover something?" "Of course, witness my first creation. G-Reactor!" Huo Yuhao grinned and showed them the G-Reactor. "This thing could do so many things, but it mainly converts heat to electricity and allows spirit energy to get absorbed into it." "Huh??" They were confused and only grasped the simple exnation as if they were newborn chicks. Huo Yuhao can''t me his mom or Qianye Ying''er because this is the first time they encounter technology like this. "Um, is this simr to Spirit Guidance Devices that the Sun and Moon Empire developed for years?" Qianye Ying''er asked with a frown. Huo Yuhao shook his head and denied, "No, This ispletely new because I invented it just now. Unless someone on the other side of this world possessed the same knowledge, they shouldn''t be able to replicate it easily. This branch of knowledge should be called Spirit Engineering." "Hao''er, what can this cube do?" Huo Yun''er curiously asked while staring at the G-Reactor. "Watch this." A light bulb appeared on Huo Yuhao''s hand. He added the base and connected it to the G-Reactor''s corner, making bright light appear. "W-Woah~!" Qianye Ying''er watched this like otherworldly sorcery. "It''s amp!" Huo Yun''er covered her mouth in disbelief because she couldn''t feel any fire from the light bulb. Unlike oilmps, this thing could shine even brighter. ''Look at their faces.'' Huo Yuhao thought while shaking his head wryly. Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er were already blown away by a simple light bulb. What would happen if he told them about his future project? The cksmith was awakened from his slumber and groaned painfully for a moment. Huo Yuhao ced the G-Reactor and Light Bulb back in the inventory. "Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao asked naturally. "It''s painful as fuck!" The cksmith suddenly cursed while rubbing his back. "This is medicine for sore muscles." Huo Yuhao picked a potion and handed it to the cksmith, watching the man drink it instantly. This cksmith is a guy with short unkempt ck hair in histe twenties. He has a muscr build and thick veiny arms from smithing metal daily. "Who are you, Kid?" He asked while cing the potion ss on the ground. "My name is Yun Long, nice to meet you." Huo Yuhao replied with a smile. Chapter 29: To The Sea Chapter 29: To The Sea --- Chapter 29 --- A grilled fish smells spread on the beach. Huo Yuhao whistled while looking at the sea and nced at the cksmith who devoured grilled fish like no tomorrow. This man apparently hasn''t eaten anything for three days. "What a guy." Hemented while eating the grilled fish. Qianye Ying''er sat beside Huo Yuhao and bit the grilled fish like a kitten. Her amethyst-colored eyes dazzlingly shone when tasting the freshness and savory taste. "This is amazing~! You can really do anything, Yuhao!" She praised him. "My Hao''er is the best~!" Huo Yun''er agreed with Qianye Ying''er statement and nodded her head wisely. She tasted his porridge for weeks when taking Yae''s legacy, and this grilled fish showed his cooking skill better. Huo Yuhao shrugged his shoulders because he had Master Chef Skills. He obviously could make good food without any problem aside from the ingredients. "I could do better because grilling fish with salt and pepper is basic." He replied naturally. After filling their stomach, the cksmith rubbed his stomach with a satisfied look. "You''re amazing for a kid." Hemented with a grin. "Anyway, what happened when I fainted?" "Well, your workshop almost burned down to oblivion. I saved it before that could happen, though." Huo Yuhao answered while bringing the Luan Bird''s Egg out. "This thing was the cause. You were trying to heat it, didn''t you?" "Haha, It''s a rare material. I''m obviously curious about such a weird-looking rock and starting to melt it down. It wasn''t even working with the highest temperature I could muster. Who would have thought it could burn my workshop down!" The cksmithughed, which left Qianye Ying''er speechless on the side. Qianye Ying''er lowered her head and muttered, "How could someone be this foolish?" The manughed even more and continued, "By the way, my name is Xiao Chen. The one and only cksmith from Northern Sea City. My dream is to create a weapon that could split mountains." "Is that so? It''s not hard to create such a weapon." Huo Yuhao returned casually. Xiao Chen frowned and denied, "If you''re talking about using Martial Soul, then you''re wrong. What I want is pure destruction from a "man-made." weapon." "Here, look at this carefully." Huo Yuhao smirked and brought out Baruka''s Dagger, slicing the nearest coconut tree "gently." like brushing something off. The de made contact with the wood and passed through it like tofu. The coconut tree fell quickly, and Huo Yuhao kicked it away from them, leaving a clean cut on the stump. Xiao Chen''s mouth was hanging down, running toward the stump with a shocked look. "S-So clean. It isn''t something a weapon could achieve with good material alone." Xiao Chen said while observing the cut. Huo Yuhao ced the Baruka''s Dagger back into his inventory andmented, "You wanted to cut a mountain, right? Can you replicate the same sharpness of my dagger first?" "I-I can''t... With my skill, I wouldn''t be able to create such a weapon." Xiao Chen mumbled to himself. "I have to train even more..." "Then, join my organization. I''ll teach you how to be a decent cksmith." Huo Yuhao suddenly offered. "Organization??" Xiao Chen heard Huo Yuhao''s brief exnation and was stunned to witness a kid his age have an ambition like this. No, Xiao Chen also had a big dream, meaning he couldn''t judge this strange boy. He stared at Huo Yuhao and deeply pondered about something for five minutes. "Let me ask this. Does Dragon Nest allow me to use resources without limit?" He asked solemnly. Huo Yuhao nced at Xiao Chen and replied, "It depends on your contribution. When you''re helpful for Dragon Nest''s early development, I''ll let you use the organization''s resources." "Oh? You''re here." "Hmm??" Xiao Chen turned around and saw over 30 people behind the drunken fisherman Yun Han. "The fuck, what are you doing here, old man!" Yun Han grinned and answered, "Why are we here? Obviously, to join the Dragon Nest, I have my friends and family who agreed to join this newly created organization. We are old but better than brat like you, Chen." "Also, that boy was the one who solved our problem. You haven''t noticed this, but the whirlpools that caused the misery of the Northern Sea City have disappeared." Xiao Chen looked at the people behind Yun Han and recognized some were retired but well-known to be skilled individuals in the past. Furthermore, he seemed to hear something wrong from Yun Han''s mouth. "Can you repeat thatst line?" He frowned at Yun Han. Yun Han sighed and repeated, "He''s our savior." "It''s not a big deal. I only fought some spirit beast here and there, banishing them away from the coastline." Huo Yuhao added while crossing his arms. There was a faint smug auraing from him. "There is no way..." Xiao Chan moved his gaze to the coastline and noticed some whirlpools gone from the sea, leaving one or two behind. It''s natural because the "Bigger whirlpool." required a longer time to disappear. "Amazing, isn''t it?" Huo Yuhao released his Haoshoku Haki and made the air tremble slightly. People who saw yesterday''s event recognized this pressure and felt assured because Yun Han didn''t lie to them. "Thank you." A solemn-looking grandpa kneeled before Huo Yuhao. "I''m Shen Liu, the mayor of the city. Northern Sea City will always be indebted to you." One after another, people began to kneel on the beach and looked at Huo Yuhao with thankful looks. They have suffered a lot for years, and this boy finally saved them. Even Yun Han kneeled with a smile on his face. "You''re wee." Huo Yuhao said naturally. "So what do you think, Xiao Chen?" Xiao Chen had a defeated look and replied, "Fine. I''ll join your organization. It''s not like I can reject you or anything with these elderly kneeling on the ground. They are people who I have respected since young." ... ... nk! At the docks, Xiao Chen was hammering a metal te onto an enormous ship. He frowned and turned around, watching Huo Yuhao feeding meat to the Saltwater Golden Crocodile. "Damn, I''m d I didn''t refuse your offer." Xiao Chen grimaced while hammering the metal te again. "That beast looks scary as fuck!" Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied casually, "Don''t worry, Goldy is docile. He wouldn''t attack someone out of nowhere." "And you even named it..." Xiao Chen sighed inside. "What? Goldy is an adorable nickname." [Name: Start an Organization] [Objective: Built a base(0/1) and have at least 200 loyal subordinates(50/200)] [Reward: 1x ck Gold Upgrading Ticket and 1x Random Training Ground] "Quarter of the goals. Not bad." Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel. "I will finish this quest soon enough." "Chen, we should be able to sail in a few hours, no?" Xiao Chen smacked the metal te heavily and breathed out because this part of the ship finished. "Yeah, we could sail this ship in a few hours. The wind movement is good enough to travel out of the coast." He replied while jumping down from the ship''s deck. "Sweet. We can''t stay in this ce for too long. Three days is our limit." Huo Yuhao patted Goldy''s head, making the crocodile squirm in delight. He stared at the boundless northern sea and smiled inside because everything would be "easier." there. A few hourster. Everyone who agreed to follow Huo Yuhao on his wild journey stepped on the ship. Even though it literally was made at such a hasty pace, every fisherman and Xiao Chen acknowledged this was the "Greatest." ship they had ever seen. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao also applied his Spirit Engineering to this ship, making some features to improve this transportation''s performance by several steps ahead. A beautiful-looking yacht floated on the seawater, retaining reinforced metal ting all over its body. It''s over 100 meters long and 40 meters wide, enough for 69 people to live in the sea. Huo Yuhao walked to the top deck and looked at his subordinate calmly. "Everyone, thank you foring. From now on, you''ll be under one banner. Dragon Nest." He said naturally. "After we sailed from this beautiful city, I wish you guys could contribute to our organization and be stronger together alongside me." "It might be weird to hear this from a kid, but I sincerely hope everyone stays well." Huo Yuhao entered the captain''s room and ced his palm on the handle made of Deep ck Iron. "Chen!" He shouted while releasing his Thunderfire. Xiao Chen, who sat on the control panel, nodded and flicked the engine-starting button. Several G-Reactors within the ship were triggered and powered the engine, causing some motors to move slowly. As the engine was warming up, Huo Yuhao smirked and pushed the handle forward, making three propellers below the ship rotate. The yacht gently cruised away from the docks and drove to the coastline, moving to the open sea at a steady speed. "To the Sea!" Huo Yuhao dered excitedly. Chapter 30: Odd Developments and Pirate? Chapter 30: Odd Developments and Pirate? --- Chapter 30 --- A beautiful-looking yacht hovered on the blue ocean, releasing a faint muffling noise. Even though it moved through so many oceanic spirit beasts, none of them dared to approach it. Huo Yuhao was currently doing pushups on the deck, muttering six digits numbers each while breathing. His developed young body was forced to the absolute limit and released a breaking noise rapidly from inside. He gritted his teeth and lifted his upper body again. "694.201..." Huo Yuhao sighed and flopped his entire body onto the marbled wood. "That''s my current limit without resting even for a bit. The 2nd Blood Ring should be condensed soon." "Hao''er~!" A melodious voicees from above. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw Huo Yun''er in her white summer dress. She wore a straw hat, making her pale pinkish-blonde hair shine under the shadow. And that sweet motherly smileplimented her whole appearance very well. "Do you need something, Mom?" He replied with a smile too. Huo Yun''er shook her head gently and activated Heavenly Fox''s martial soul. A ck spirit ring appeared and hovered around her naturally. Her hair becamepletely white with pinkish shades and two fluffy fox ears on top of her head. Nine fox tails gradually spurted out of her upper butt. She breathed in and said, "I''ve absorbed the Luan Bird''s Egg Spirit Ring and reached Level 19. I have a reasonable share of strong techniques from Yae''s legacy, but your spiritual energy maniption is superior to mine." "Can you teach me how to use Haki?" "Sure." He responded with a nod. "Let''s call Qianye Ying''er too because I need to see her martial soul." Huo Yun''er frowned when hearing that but suddenly felt a soft sensation on her lips. She melted quickly into her son''s touch and breathed heavily. "T-That''s not fair..." She mumbled to herself. "Hehe, your defense iscking, mom. Don''t get jealous of Qianye Ying''er because I don''t have any feelings for her yet. I like adult women more." Huo Yuhao chuckled yfully. "Adult women... After all, Yae was right." Huo Yun''er blushed a little. The Albino Nine-Tailed Fox has guided her on the way of perversion over one hundred years, knowing one''s characters based on their inner desires. And it''s not hard for her to sense Huo Yuhao''s honesty. He indeed likes Adult Women, or Milf precisely. Qianye Ying''er came on the deck cheerfully and saw Huo Yuhao whispering something into his mother''s ears. She couldn''t hear it clearly, but it sounded somewhat lewd from afar. ''W-What are they doing in the public area?! And um, At least do it somewhere else.'' She thought while covering her blushing face and trying to peek between her fingers. "Boo!" Huo Yuhao appeared before her. "Kyaa!" Qianye Ying''er stumbled on the marble floor, but Huo Yuhao quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back up. He has an amused expression on his face. Even though Huo Yuhao doesn''t have intimate feelings for Qianye Ying''er, teasing her is fun. It''s like having that one little sister who was adorable when teased. Huo Yuhao didn''t have older or younger siblings in his previous life, so this was a new experience for him. "Ying''er, show me your martial soul." He suddenly said, which caught Qianye Ying''er off guard. The girl seemed to panic out of nowhere and peeked at him nervously. There was something wrong. "Is there something wrong? Your father won''t be able to follow us here." Qianye Ying''er breathed to calm herself and raised her head to match Huo Yuhao''s eyes. He''s a lot taller than her, so she has to push her head up. "My martial soul is quite special. It''s a Tool-type Spirit." She replied while lifting her hand. A pure white g tied to a purple pole with a sharp pointy end appeared before their eyes. "My martial soul is g. I-It''s trash martial soul that is different from anyone in Qianye n." Huo Yuhao grabbed her shoulders andmented, "Calm down, Ying''er." "No such thing as a useless martial soul in this world because even a wooden shovel could turn into a powerful spear when developed correctly. Hell, I believed a simple handkerchief could be a deadly weapon if one uses it correctly. Yours is no different." "B-But..." Qianye Ying''er bit her lips in frustration. "Not but! Do you believe me?" Huo Yuhao stared at her amethyst eyes. "I trust you, Yuhao." [Name: g(Unawakened)] [Type: Martial Soul] [Description: g, a tool-type martial soul with a pure white banner tied onto the unique spear-like pole, It has a hidden quality based on one''s belief trapped within Qianye Ying''er] ''Evo, use 2 Silver Upgrading Tickets on Qianye Ying''er and her martial soul. And 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket on my mom''s human race.'' Huo Yuhao said after considering so many things. [Converting Upgrading Tickets...] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(2), Gold(1)] [Using 2 Silver Upgrading Tickets on Qianye Ying''er race and martial soul] [Using 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket on Huo Yun''er race] [Upgrading...] [...] Gasps!! A surprised gasp escaped Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er as they felt tremendous changes. They dropped on the deck, and Huo Yuhao watched them calmly because he knew the sensation when upgrading one''s race. Qianye Ying''er felt her entire body and soul tremble under Huo Yuhao''s touch. She hugged his back tightly and didn''t want to let it go, feeling like it would disappear from her grasp. However, Huo Yun''er had a much more rxed response because she was training her Kenbunshoku Haki, which means her state of mind was remarkably calm beforehand. [Qianye Ying''er race upgraded into Holy Human] [Qianye Ying''er martial soul upgraded into Battle g] [Huo Yun''er race upgraded into High Human] Huo Yuhao noticed the noticeable changes in Qianye Ying''er martial soul because the g now possessed a Dragon-like mark with a majestic feathery wing. The pole also became longer with fiery me all over it. Qianye Ying''er slowly opened her amethyst eyes and saw a beautiful-looking dragon with purplish ck scales in front of her. She felt a connection with it, having an "abnormal." sense of faith in this creature. It''s such a serene sensation in her heart. "Oh, lord~!" She muttered while keeping her hand together tightly. ROAR! The dragon roared at Qianye Ying''er, but she wasn''t intimidated and rather happy for some reason. She lowered her eyes and witnessed her lord be a familiar-looking boy. "Yuhao." "Yes?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head. "Do you feel something weird, Ying''er?" Qianye Ying''er returned to reality and replied instinctively, "I have never felt better than this, my lord. Your existence makes everything perfect for me~!" "Uh, what??" [Name: Qianye Ying''er] [Race: Holy Human(+)] [Age: 6] [Cultivation: Level 10] [Martial Soul: Battle g(+)] [Description: A young fanatic believer of Huo Yuhao''s religion] "No way..." Huo Yuhao clicked on the Holy Human and Battle g additional system panels and was speechless. As the newly upgraded race and martial soul connected to him. [Holy Human] [Advanced humans. They have a high innate affinity toward the Light Element and better potential than normal humans. Holy Humans could be stronger based on their faith in someone else. The stronger their "faith.", the faster their growth] [Battle g] [An unique martial soul tied to one''s belief toward the Divine Dragon, Chaotic Purgatory Dragon. It possessed Holy Aura that could purify Darkness and Evil in this world] Qianye Ying''er appearance hasn''t changed much after getting her race upgraded to Holy Human. Well, she became cuter than before, but that''s it. "Thank you, my lord~!" She gently pulled Huo Yuhao''s right hand and kissed it. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity~!" Huo Yuhao face-palmed himself inside and said, "You should call me Yuhao like usual. Calling me "My lord." is weird and awkward to me." She smiled and replied, "As you wish." "Ah, that was refreshing~!" Huo Yun''ermented while shaking her head around. Her pale blonde hair bes longer and reaches her waist. After bing High Human, Huo Yun''er felt something great changing inside her. Everything seemed to be better, and her senses worked better. She also grasped Kenbunshoku Haki instantly, s only at the entry level. "Hmm, what happened to her?" Huo Yun''er looked around and noticed Qianye Ying''er loving gaze toward her son. Huo Yuhao chuckled in defeat and answered, "I''ll exin." ... ... Huo Yuhao exined almost everything to Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er, giving them false information about Upgrading Tickets by covering it as a miracle-like medicine he created. It''s hard to believe, but none seemed to care for some reason. Huo Yun''er tested her new physical prowess on the deck and sent several palm strikes filled with spiritual energy. Her movement caused the air to move forward, creating small shockwaves. Meanwhile, Qianye Ying''er waited patiently beside Huo Yuhao with a calm look on her young face. She has discovered a new light in her pitiful life. After losing her mother, she realized the first person who cared about her well-being was Huo Yuhao. Even though Qianye Ying''er was young, she knew this wasn''t love but more like a blind belief toward Huo Yuhao. It''s better than remembering the misery she experienced a few days ago. "Boss, What''s that?" Xiao Chen''s voice suddenlyes from the upper deck. Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and started his Kenbunshoku Haki, locating a few ships approaching them from the south. "Sea Bandit? I mean, Pirate," He said with a cough. [Ding! A Quest] [Name: Pirate Attacks] [Objectives: Kill/Spare Pirates of The Northern Sea(0/124)] [Reward: 5 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 2x Treasure Box(A)] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied immediately. Huo Yun''er gazed over the sea and asked, "Pirate? Hmm, Can I fight them?" "We can fight them together, mom." "Oh, my bad~!" Qianye Ying''er wanted to say something simr, but Huo Yuhao stopped her. "No, you stay here. You don''t have enough fighting experience to be in a real fight, Ying''er." Hemented while patting her head. "Be a good girl and wait here." He added while pulling Baruka''s Dagger. The girl could only nod in frustration because she couldn''t help Huo Yuhao. She felt disgusted at her weakness, cursing herself inside to grow stronger quickly. However, Huo Yuhao noticed this pretty fast. "After this, I''ll teach you how to fight. Is that okay?" Huo Yuhao said while wearing his White Goblin Mask. "Mhm." Qianye Ying''er beamed brightly and nodded her head frantically. "Please be safe, my lord- I mean, Yuhao." Huo Yuhao pinched her adorable cheeks and stated, "I''ll be back soon." "Chen, close all entrances!" "Okay, Boss!!" Xiao Chen pulled down the security lever, and every entrance gradually closed with an iron gate. Qianye Ying''er walked into the captain''s room and waved her hand at Huo Yuhao. ... "Need a weapon?" Huo Yuhao asked his mom. Huo Yun''er shook her head and answered, "Kiss me instead. That''s much better than a weapon." Looking at her solemn look, Huo Yuhao leaned toward Huo Yun''er and kissed her forehead. The mother giggled happily and activated her Heavenly Fox martial soul again. "Jump after me." Huo Yuhao called the Chains of Heaven and created a wormhole in the Pirate Ship. He kicked the yacht deck and was followed by Huo Yun''er a secondter. Theynded on the Pirate Ship and saw wild-looking people surrounding them with weapons. Huo Yuhao looked around and said jokingly, "Hello There." Chapter 31: Are you my Master? Chapter 31: Are you my Master? --- Chapter 31 --- "Hello there." Huo Yuhao smiled at them. The pirates were confused at Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er sudden appearances. They were stunned for a moment, which was a mistake because the mother and son duo grasped this chance, rushing toward them. "Intruders??!" "Who the fuck-!" "Everyone attack-!" Huo Yun''er dodged an iing sword by tilting her head to the left and raising her palm, summoning a ck spirit ring from Luan Bird''s Egg. A pair of gorgeous fiery wings draped her shoulders, covering her body with intense blue fire. "me Mantra." She muttered whilebining Blue Fox Fire and Spiritual Energy, creating an attack that could injure one''s mind easily. Huo Yuhao noticed this andmented, "Don''t kill them. We still can use themter because the Dragon Nest still needs primary members." Huo Yun''er nodded and focused back on her enemies. They are Spirit Masters ranging from Spirit Grandmasters to Spirit Elders, which was good enough to be her first real fight. They weren''t strong enough to threaten her, but she had to assess her overall abilities. Huo Yuhao''s small body passed through the crowd of adult men and women, attacking them swiftly before they could react. He didn''t kill any of the pirates and made them faint. "Let''s make this quick. I want my rewards..." He released a bit of his Haoshoku Haki. ... .., Huo Yun''er kicked the ground and rushed to the nearest pirate, lifting her palm to this poor guy''s face. And Blue Firebusted on her palm, covering the air with odd Spiritual Pressure. BAM! The pirate was blown away to the pole with a burn mark on his chest. He couldn''t even see what ensued in thest few seconds and felt his whole body smacked by a fireball. And every pirate on the deck was alerted by it. They summoned their martial souls one after another, rushing toward her with undying battle spirit. Even though Huo Yun''er was strong, they could easily outnumber her by force, which was another great mistake. Yae''s legacy recorded one against many welfares to the extreme level. Huo Yun''er was taught by Yee how to fight for hundreds of years, making her mind ustomed to crowd sight like this. It''s far from making Huo Yun''er nervous because Yae has shown her worse. "Fiery Blue Sky..." An indifferent voice escaped Huo Yun''er mouth. Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and witnessed his mother creating an enormous blue me that covered the whole ship. He doesn''t feel any heat because it''s an illusion, and only people with weak minds would feel the extreme heat from this. "You''vee this far, mom." He couldn''t help but feel pleased with her development from being a pushover woman to her current self. nk! Huo Yuhao parried the iing pirate''s sword and kicked the guy in the guts, causing him to bend on his knees. "What about this?" He added more Haoshoku Haki. His Haoshoku Haki made half the pirates drop in dread. They couldn''t breathe properly and fainted, leaving only some pirates on Huo Yun''er side. As they were no real threats, Huo Yun''er swept all of them quickly. "Mom, I''ll go to another ship." He said while jumping to other pirate ships. There are three of them. "Be safe~!" Huo Yun''er nodded and dodged a knife aimed at her neck. She breathed in and knocked the pirate with her spiritual energy, sting him away with her me. Huo Yuhao leaped in the air and created another wormhole toward another Pirate Ship. He didn''t give them a chance to react and defeated all of them with one strike. These pirates should fill up Dragon Nest''s members. BAM! He kicked thest pirate on this ship andmented, "Two more ships." After fifteen minutes, Huo Yuhao sighed in relief and looked at the Pirate Ship''s decks filled with fainted pirates. He nced at Huo Yun''er side and noticed her part was over too. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a drunken man with a bottle of wine in his hand. "Oh, are you the captain?" "What the fuck happened here??!" "How dare you attack my crew! I''m the pirate king-!" "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared and grabbed the self-proimed pirate king''s neck. "Are you Roger?" The man struggled and attempted his best to release Huo Yuhao''s choke from his neck. Yet, no matter how much force he utilized, this monster''s hand seemed to be created of metal. He was forced to the floor and saw cold blue eyes staring at him indifferently. "Are you Roger?" Huo Yuhao approached the man''s face. The self-proimed pirate king was out of breath and felt the greatest dread in his life. He trembled violently and replied fearfully, "N-No..." Huo Yuhao smacked him on the floor and continued, "I thought so." [You have finished the Quest] [Objectives: Spare Pirate of the Northern Sea(124/124)] [Rewarding 5 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 2x Treasure Box(A)] "How was it, mom? Your first fight." Huo Yuhao nced at his mother. Huo Yun''er arrived at the pirate ship with a weak smile on her face because fighting those people showed the level of her ability right now. Even though Huo Yun''er was abnormal for her level, fighting real people for the first time brought up her weakness. She somehow couldn''t control her Spirit Energy properly and injured those pirates more than she wanted. "It''s not bad." She replied wryly. "I only fought illusion so far in Yae''s legacy realm, which makes this real fight easier." Huo Yuhao shrugged and waited for the pirate captain to wake up, thinking about the Quest''s reward. He sat on the barrel and asked Evo to show him the system panel. [Name: Treasure Box(A)]] [Type: Treasure] [Grade: A] [Description: A box that holds five random items] "Mom, can you tell Chen to bring our ship closer?" Huo Yuhao''s eyes brightened like he was seeing Christmas gifts. "Anything for you, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er winked and bounced back to the Yacht, flying in the sky with her fiery wings. She hummed random tunes while thinking about her short fight with the pirates. As Huo Yun''er returned to the Yacht, Huo Yuhao told Evo to upgrade the Treasure Box with Silver Upgrading Tickets. He could have saved themter, but the Quest hasn''t appeared much in the past few days. "Wait, it is possible to get Upgrading Tickets from Treasure Box, right? Like my Starter Pack weeks ago because I got two Gold Upgrading Tickets from it." [That''s correct, Host] [However, the chances are pretty small] "It''s okay, Evo. I like the odd of that happening." Huo Yuhao grinned slightly. "I wanted to upgrade just one Treasure Box first." [Using 1 Silver Upgrading Ticket on 1x Treasure Box(A)] "Yes." [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired 1x Treasure Box(S)] [Name: Treasure Box(s)]] [Type: Treasure] [Grade: S] [Description: A box that holds six random items] "Open! Give me Upgrading Tickets, please." Huo Yuhao ced his hope on the line. His S Rank Luck should help in this kind of situation. [Opening Treasure Box(S)] [...] [You have obtained...] Random Master Skill Card(1) ss Advancement Token(1) Jungle Dungeon Key(1) Bronze Upgrading Tickets(7) Netherite Ingots(2) Gold Upgrading Ticket(1) "Hell yeah!" Huo Yuhao shouted while punching the air. His bet was working and paid him off handsomely. "Upgrade the other Treasure Box with Gold Upgrading Ticket." [Using 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket on 1x Treasure Box(A)] [Upgrading...] [You have acquired 1x Treasure Box(SS) [Name: Treasure Box(SS)]] [Type: Treasure] [Grade: SS] [Description: A box that holds seven random items] "Yes, SS Grade. What are you waiting for, Evo? Open it." [Opening Treasure Box(SS)] [...] [You have obtained...] Senzu Beans(15) 1x Random Spirit Ring(Red) 5 KG of Vibranium(SS) Silver Upgrading Tickets(8) Sun Breathing Technique(S+) Heavenly Soap(SS) Hero Summoning Card(SS) Huo Yuhao was silent when reading Treasure Box(SS)''s contents because it was more valuable than he expected. He clenched his hand in excitement, feeling greediness swallowing his heart slowly. "Haha..." He couldn''t help butugh at the system panel. He ignored the Treasure Box(S)''s rewards because everything there was self-exnatory besides the Jungle Dungeon Key, which enabled him to open a dungeon for a specific time. He was more interested in the Treasure Box(SS)''s rewards, clicking their information curiously. He knew some of them because they were famous in his previous world. [Name: Vibranium]] [Type: Rare Material] [Grade: SS] [Description: A rare element from outer space known to be nearly indestructible and "Extremely." Vibration Absorbent] [Name: Sun Breathing Technique] [Type: Martial Technique] [Grade: S+] [Description: A powerful breathing technique that mimics and replicates the sun created by the Yoriichi Tsugikuni, having twelves moves that could easily overwhelm Demon] [Name: Heavenly Soap] [Type: Rare Item] [Grade: SS] [Description: A soap bar made of the rarest and finest materials in the Heavenly Perverse World. It could affect the fate and create an "ident." when used in the bathroom] [Name: Hero Summoning Card] [Type: Summoning Item] [Grade: SS] [Description: An unique summoning item that could call Heroic Spirits from Throne of Heroes, transmigrating them to the summoner''s world] "Vibranium and Sun Breathing Techniques. Who would have thought I could get them from Treasure Box(SS)." Huo Yuhaomented with a smile. "They are great for Dragon Nest''s progressionter because Vibranium can enhance Geo-Reactor''s performance. As for the Sun Breathing Technique, I could downgrade it to suit my subordinates, though there is no Demon to y here." He was speechless when lowering his gaze and continued, "Uh, What the fuck is Heavenly Soap. Ehem, What kind of "ident." Are we talking about here? A sad one or a happy one?" [Happy One...] Evo replied with a dull tone. "Nice." "Next, we have the Hero Summoning Card." Huo Yuhao moved his gaze further down and frowned as the "Transmigration." part made this item weird for him. Does that mean the Heroes Spirit would enter someone''s body in this world? "Is it random, Evo?" [Yes] [However, only Heroic Spirits that wanted a new life would ept the Hero Summoning Card''s call, and using you as the center, they could transmigrate to anyone within 100 meters radius] [Even though they would lose their former strengths, they still have memories and experiences from their past lives. And, the Heroic Spirit can only transmigrate to the most suitable vessel, so they grow "Properly." to their peaks] [Do you want to use the Hero Summoning Card?] Huo Yuhao looked around the Pirate Ship because there were not many people in this ce, which was good. He doesn''t have to search anywhere far. After thinking about his choice, Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel and said, "Use it." [Using Hero Summoning Card] [Bypassing the Throne of Heroes] [Host, please say something] "Do you want a new life?" Huo Yuhao asked innocently. And His childish voice made it even more soothing for an adult woman. [...] [Yes] A woman''s voice that wasn''t Evo replied. [Transmigrating Heroic Spirit...] Huo Yuhao looked up and saw a purplish crimson star falling from the sky in the daytime. He watched the small star break the sound barrier and sunken into the Pirate Ship. He expected an impact, but nothing happened for some reason. "Where?" [Go Downstair, Host] Huo Yuhao breathed to calm himself and walked downstairs, finding the storage room. He entered the room and saw several cages with kids around his age inside them. He felt disgusted when seeing this. However, one kid caught his attention. A girl raised her head slowly and stared at Huo Yuhao solemnly. "Purple hair and red eyes..." Those words escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. ... ... "Oh, Are you my master?" Chapter 32: Teacher-! No, Shishou! Chapter 32: Teacher-! No, Shishou! --- Chapter 32 --- Land of Shadows. An "extremely." beautiful woman known by several names and titles sat on a lonely throne. She has long purple hair and red eyes and wears a full-body outfit, emphasizing her voluptuous body and slender shoulders with metallic shoulder pads. "Boring..." Her pale face was devoid of any emotions but boredom. Sc¨¢thach. A female warrior-queen from Celtic Mythology. The queen and gatekeeper of the foreign territory/haunted ground called the Land of Shadow. She is a prodigy of spearmanship and Rune magecraft. She possesses an immense power that is enough to obtain control over and close the gate of the "Land of Shadows." which is overflowing with countless ghosts to ward off the dead. She is also known as God yer because of the continual ying of Divine Spirits, making her feared by anyone. After bathing herself in millions or even billions of lives, Sc¨¢thach became immortal. She wanted to die as a human but couldn''t do it because no one could kill her. It''s saddening because even her precious student couldn''t kill her. Their feelings clouded their judgments at the veryst moment. "Hmm?" An unidentified power abruptly broke through the Land of Shadows, breaking Sc¨¢thach control over the "Gate." and creating an odd space & time tunnel connected to somewhere else. "This is... My connection to Throne of Heroes also was cut off by this force. An overwhelming power that beyond Counter Force and Natural Order actually exists?" "Is it Zelretch? No, that fool wouldn''t be able to enter my domain so easily." It''s not just Sc¨¢thach who experienced this bizarre event because every Heroic Spirit, divine or not, also met this unknown force. Sc¨¢thach was ready to draw her treasured weapon Gae Bolg and heard something pure yet unexpecteding from the tunnel. "Do you want a new life?" An innocent childish voice echoed to all Heroic Spirits. They wanted to reply but were afraid of the unknown consequence. Yes, all of them, except Sc¨¢thach. Sc¨¢thach felt her instinct activated by this voice and unconsciously muttered, "Yes." A golden light swallowed Sc¨¢thach''s whole being and pulled her into the tunnel, making the Land of Shadows more silent than usual. Sc¨¢thach felt weird because all the strength she had honed and trained for years seemed to leave her body. Yet, she didn''t feel difort because overwhelming rushes of warmth embraced her soul. "Freedom. For the first time after years of boredom." She mumbled while closing her eyes. "Finally, peace..." [Transmigrating...] ... ... Sc¨¢thach opened her eyes and found herself inside wooden cages. She felt weak to her very bones, having no ounce of strength at all. "Where am I?" She looked around and saw children hugging their knees in fear. A small person suddenly entered the room with an awkward movement, staring at the cages, and eventually stopped at her. A blue-haired child stood before her, sporting casual attire and a weird-looking mask. His appearance was nothing extraordinary to Sc¨¢thach because she had seen so many odd things but those eyes. ''How beautiful... A pair of azure sky-like eyes, gazing at me with such concern.'' Sc¨¢thach thought while lowering her gaze for a moment. It feels surreal to her because everything happened so fast. Huo Yuhao was surprised and mumbled, "Purple hair and red eyes..." Sc¨¢thach recognized this innocent voice and raised her head again. "Oh, Are you my master?" She questioned immediately with no hesitation. "I-, Yes. Yes, I am." Huo Yuhao awkwardly answered while nodding his head. "Anyway, let''s get out of this ce first." He grabbed over the iron lock on the wooden cages and crushed them with his hand. He opened all of them effortlessly, releasing the children and Sc¨¢thach. After giving them a nket and recovery potion, he escorted them to the deck. Some children shivered when seeing the pirates, but Huo Yuhao assured them. "Don''t worry. I''ve defeated all the pirates before rescuing you from the cages. Wait here until my motheres to pick us up." He dered naturally, to which the rest of the children responded with a nod. Huo Yuhao brought Sc¨¢thach to the upper deck and said, "Ask me anything you want to know right now. I''ll answer them honestly." "Where am I?" Sc¨¢thach asked calmly. "Douluo Dalu. A universe far away from your home universe and possibly possessed more danger because we have an annoying group of Gods that govern over higher dimensions." Huo Yuhao answered while remembering some information about Douluo Dalu''s universe. Sc¨¢thach pondered for a moment and continued, "How did you summon me here?" Huo Yuhao smiled wryly and replied, "I have a special power to do that. It''s kinda confidential, so I can''t exin the exact process of it." There is no presence of mana in the air, but something more rted to Ki/Natural energy in eastern or maybe Chinese mythology. Sc¨¢thach could feel an unknown force flowing inside her veins, which became stronger by "simply." breathing air. The distant universe with the name of Douluo Dalu, Unknown Power, and this child. Everything is new to her. "I see, thenstly. Who are you?" The former God yer stared at Huo Yuhao curiously. She has observed him meticulously and concluded he wasn''t a "Normal." child from his strength to his manner of speaking. Huo Yuhao grabbed the White Goblin Mask and pulled it off his face. He brushed his blue hair, which seemed to be longer after so many rapid advancements, and stared at Sc¨¢thach solemnly. "My name is Huo Yuhao. Nice to meet you." He said while giving his best friendly smile, but unknown to him. His action activated something inside Sc¨¢thach''s heart. "Let me pat you!" Even with her new body, Sc¨¢thach''s womanly instinct "Instantly." was triggered when seeing Huo Yuhao''s appearance. Yes, High Human''s charm is that high. "What??" Sc¨¢thach grasped Huo Yuhao''s hand and enthusiastically repeated, "Let. Me. Pat. You!" Huo Yun''er hummed while bringing the Yacht to the pirate ships and saw an unknown purple-haired girl patting her beloved Hao''er. "N-No way... Another one? I left Hao''er for a few minutes, and he met another girl!" She was speechless. And after that, Huo Yuhao has to exin everything to her. ... ... That day passed quickly, and Huo Yuhao added clean pirates to his subordinate list. He killed pirates entangled in the child trafficking business because those people were beyond repair in his eyes. They aren''t good enough to be in the Dragon Nest. Sc¨¢thach surprisingly adapted to the environment very well, but her rtionship with Huo Yun''er is a little bit off. Unlike other girls Huo Yuhao met on his journey, Sc¨¢thach was a proud warrior and an adult woman who transmigrated into a child''s body. So when Huo Yun''er tried to set a boundary, Sc¨¢thach reacted indifferently. Huo Yuhao has to defuse their heated arguments because they are precious to him, especially Huo Yun''er. After giving Huo Yun''er some exnation, she finally lets Sc¨¢thach be closer to him. Meanwhile, Qianye Ying''er wanted to convert everyone on the ship into Huo Yuhao''s believer. She somehow seeded and developed a small cult. And yes, Huo Yun''er and Scathach joined this cult without much persuasion. Huo Yuhao sat in the captain''s room and asked, "Xiao Chen, is it just me, or does every female on the ship seem to hold private gatherings every evening." The cksmith coughed on his tea and awkwardly looked around while wiping his mouth. "What are you talking about, Boss? That''s just normal evening tea among thedies." He replied nervously. "Is that so? It''s probably just my feelings." Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement because he knew everything on the ship. It''s not difficult to learn about this little cult''s private meeting, but since they are only talking about him and nothing negative, He lets them off. A few weeks passed without problem, and Huo Yuhao fulfilled one objective from the Start an Organization''s Quest. He has over 200 loyal subordinates by recruiting some vigers on the inds they encountered. [Name: Start an Organization] [Objectives: Built a Base(0/1), Have at least 200 loyal subordinates(369/200)] [Reward: 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket and 1x Random Training Ground] "This is going well." Huo Yuhaomented on the top of the Yacht, looking at a fleet of ships following him. "Dragon Nest only needs a base, and we are officially an organization." "Evo, open my status." [Opening Status Window...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 6] [Race: High Human] [Sub-Races: True Dragon(+), White Tiger(+)] [ss: Assassin, Avenger, Pdin, Archer] [Cultivation Realm: Level 30] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(+), The Eyes of the Lord(+), Chains of Heaven(2+)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Sun Breathing Technique Dagger Mastery, Spear Mastery, Martial Art Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(42), Baruka''s Dagger(A), Failure(Locked), Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(39), Bronze(7), Silver(23), Gold(1)] Huo Yuhao stared at his status calmly andmented, "Yep, everything is looking fine so far. But, I should absorb my third spirit ring to reach level 31. As for my Upgrading Tickets, taking those small quests to rescue people is worth it because they have been stacking steadily for weeks." "Still, the new perks are nice." [Name: Overclock] [Type: Extra Skill] [Grade: S] [Description: An unique skill that allows one to stimte the brain and speed up perception by several times, heightening all senses] [Name: Rune Master] [Type: Master Skill] [Grade: S] [Description: Rune Master is a "special." skill that allows one to manipte energy with Ancient Knowledge, creating miracles by using spells/runes] "Hmm, what are you talking about, my disciple?" Scathach walked toward him. "Are you done with the warming up?" Huo Yuhao turned around with a smile and replied, "Yes, I''ve finished them all. Though I believed everyone who has to do one million push-ups for a "Warming up." would have died halfway." "Should I increase it to three million push-ups?" She returned while smiling at him. "Out of all of the people I met in the past, only you''re the only one with the most gifted physical capacity, perceptive mind, and *Cough.* adorable appearance." "As your adaptation is like a cheat to the naturalw of progression, why don''t we abuse it to the extreme limit." "Uugh." Huo Yuhao denied her idea. "Let''s just start the training." "Heh, call me like usual first." A smug smirk appeared on Scathach face. Huo Yuhao shook his head and answered, "Yes, teacher-!" "I mean, Yes. Shishou!" Chapter 33: Another Continent Chapter 33: Another Continent --- Chapter 33 --- "Boss, you might want to see this." Huo Yuhao heard Xiao Chen''s voice from the captain''s room and gasped on the floor with an exhausted look. Scathach stood one meter away from him with a wooden spear in her hand, having an amused smirk stered on her face. Scathach might lose her strength when she transmigrated to this world, but her rich fighting experience and second-to-none instinct are hard to defeat. Even with a bunch of skills Huo Yuhao could only catch her off guard a few times. "You''re improving faster and faster each day, Yuhao." The former God yermented while waving her wooden spear around. "Those eyes of yours are terrifying because you can read and replicate my techniques with a simple gaze. However, reading movements like that cause imbnce in your mastery." "With a faint from a skilled warrior like me, you can easily be swayed and confused in the middle of the battle. And I''ll give you a bonus point for realizing that earlier." Huo Yuhao smiled inside because Scathach was such a good teacher because her insight was precise and factual. He was ustomed to observing his enemy in the fight, even before he got reincarnated into this world, and having someone point out his mistake is so helpful. "Are you listening?" Scathach looked down on her disciple. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "I am, so let''s end the training session here, Shishou." Xiao Chen is calling me to the captain''s room." Scathach pondered for a second because they usually spar for another hour but remembered Qianye Ying''er would hold a holy meeting soon. "Umu, you can go. I have something else to do after this too." She said while patting Huo Yuhao''s head. [Name: Scathach] [Race: Human/Immortal(+)] [Cultivation: Level 10] [Martial Soul: Gae Bolg Alternative(+), Soul Breaking Spear(+)] [Description: A woman with a particr obsession with a certain boy] Huo Yuhao clicked on Scathach''s race and martial soul while wiping his sweat. He also couldn''t help but smile when reading her description because his current appearance "obviously." affected her. [Human/Immortal] [Scathach''s rare case. Her "extremely." powerful immortal soul that settles on the child''s body causes a positive imbnce in her future growth. Even though she was a mere human with a weak regenerative ability now, after reaching a "bnce." she would regain her Immortality] [Gae Bolg Alternative] [A trusted weapon of Scathach, apanying her journey when killing so many Divine Spirits. It was her noble phantasm and made of Curuid''s remains, making it one of the deadliest weapons] [Soul Breaking Spear(Mutated)] [Soul Breaking Spear is the hereditary Martial Soul of Breaking n. A pure attack-type spirit known for its unstoppable force and mutated by Scathach''s Immortal Soul, giving it "Soul Piercing." attribute] Huo Yuhao shook his head because Shishou''s status panel was abnormal, like Qianye Ying''er and Huo Yun''er. And She even had twin martial souls because of the transmigration process a few weeks ago. Evo did say the Hero summoned by the Hero Summoning Card would need a suitable vessel to enter this world. "Breaking n, huh? One of Clear Sky n''s subsidiary ns that focused on Alchemy." Huo Yuhao remarked while thinking about that n''s location in this era. The Clear Sky n was secret from the public, and only a few peoples know about them now. "Shishou''s vessel might be more problematic than I thought, but she said there are no memories about the girl beside her name. Yang Xin?" "Hmm, Yang Xin and the Alchemy-based n. Must be a coincidence." Huo Yuhao whistled and entered the captain''s room with a towel around his neck. "So what happened here? You sounded panicked before." He asked while leaning on the control table. "Took you a while, brat." Yu Han said while drinking his wine in the corner of the room. "We found something you''ve been searching for in thest two weeks. I didn''t believe it at first, but ording to your detecting devices, there was and with a huge quantity of Spirit Energy in the East." Xiao Chen walked to the control table and pressed the Spirit Radar Huo Yuhao created when getting Netherite Ingot. It''s a function he added to the Yacht, using Netherite''s high durability and energy reflection to sense living beings'' spirit energy. Huo Yuhao frowned and mumbled, "What a massive amount of Spirit Energy scattered to several ces, which means there isnd up there. It''s a continent?" "Yes!" Xiao Chen nodded excitedly. "We discovered another continent besides the Douluo Continent. It''s a new mind-blowing discovery after the Sun and Moon Continent merged with Douluo Continent." "How long does it take to get there?" Huo Yuhao questioned naturally, thinking about building Dragon Nest''s base there. Yun Han stared at the ceiling and did the calction in his mind with this Yacht''s maximum speed. He sipped his wine and nced at the radar again. "Around a week? Maybe six days by over-exhausting G-Reactors while charging them continuously. That means your me needs to be constantly burning for the rest of the journey. Unless you have a shortcut there." "Heh, a shortcut." A grin appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. "Chen, I want you to tell everyone to prepare themselves. I''ll create a wormhole there." ... ... Huo Yuhao stood on the Yacht''s deck and summoned Chains of Heaven, preparing himself to create "wide." enough wormholes to fit the whole fleet. He breathed in and activated some skills. "Overclock." "Eyes of the Lord." "Kenbunshoku Haki." "And Spatial Maniption." His blue eyes shone with a menacing crimson hue. Huo Yuhao''s mind ran a thousand times faster than usual, making him able to calcte movement and atoms in the air. It is a forbiddenbination he could only handle for five minutes. Everything bes clear to Huo Yuhao''s eyes as lines upon lines of possibility rush into his mind. It''s strange, but He felt like a god at this moment, feeling his control over the world was boundless. "I should consider naming thisbination." He couldn''t help but chuckle because there was one anime or manga he enjoyed in the past with this "exact." ability. "Yeah, that name is cool enough for me." "I''ll call it Lace from now on." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and created a big enough wormhole for his fleet, forming another one thousand miles away. He calcted everything perfectly and smiled in satisfaction. "We are here." He stared at the vastnd before his eyes, having rich flora and fauna all over the ce. There are mountain ranges spanning over the lushnd and a beautiful blue sea around it. [Ding! You have discovered a new continent] [Do you wish to build your base here?] [Yes/No] "Of course." Huo Yuhao confidently answered while deactivating Lace and closing wormholes when thest ship arrived. [You cannot build a base until Sub-Quest "thoroughly." was finished] [Ding! Sub-Quest] [Name: Absolute Ruler] [Objectives: Defeat all the Beast Lords in the Area(0/7)] [Reward: 7 Gold Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Barrier(S)] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao''s Haoshoku Haki suddenly red because something was trying to reject them from this ce. "Heh, challenge epted. Your intimidation will be a stepping stone for my Dragon Nest!" He shouted at the vastnd. "This ce will be mine!" ... [Opening Random Spirit Ring(Red)] [...] [You have acquired Heavenly Taotie Bull Spirit Ring] [Name: Heavenly Taotie Bull] [Type: Spirit Ring/Spirit Beast] [Age: 170.000 years old] [Description: Heavenly Taotie Bull is Sacred Earth Spirit Beast with thick Earth Dragon King/Taotie''s bloodline known for its insatiable hunger and mighty Earth Bending] [Spirit Ring: Devouring, Earth Maniption, Pure Earth''s Body] "Hmm, 170.000 years old. That''s a little bit lower than my other spirit rings." Huo Yuhao said while meditating in his room. He pondered for a moment and decided to upgrade the new spirit ring with a Gold Upgrading Ticket. It is worth it because he would get more tickets after finishing the sub-quest. "Do it, Evo." [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(39), Silver(7), Silver(23), Gold(1)] [Using 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket on Heavenly Taotie Bull''s Spirit Ring] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired Gluttonous Taotie Bull-Dragon Spirit Ring] [Name: Gluttonous Taotie Bull-Dragon] [Type: Spirit Ring/Spirit Beast] [Age: 350.000 Years Old] [Description: Gluttonous Taotie Bull-Dragon is said to be the incarnation of Earth Dragon King/Taotie and is known as Gluttonous Beast. It can Devour Heaven and Earth, having supreme authority over Earth Element] [Spirit Skills: Gluttony, Extreme Earth Maniption, Taotie''s Strength] Huo Yuhao suddenly sensed Scathach''s presence outside and said, "Shishou, I know you''re outside. Can you guard the entrance because I''m doing something important here?" "Sure," Scathach responded while hovering her hand above the door''s handle. She was about to enter Huo Yuhao''s room to get her daily intake of Yuhaonium. "I wouldn''t let anyone enter the room." Huo Yuhao smiled and summoned the Chains of Heaven as the Eyes of the Lord aren''t suitable with this Gluttonous Taotie Bull-Dragon spirit ring. He stretched his neck briefly and inhaled air into his lungs nervously because the 300.000 years old spirit ring "Roughly." was his physical limit, and absorbing this would take some toll on him. "Evo, Transfer the ring." Hemanded firmly. [Transferring Gluttonous Taotie Bull-Dragon''s Spirit Ring to the Chains of Heaven...] [...] [20%] Huo Yuhao felt an earth-like sensation grasping every inch of his body. He closed his eyes and let the Spirit Ring''s energy flow naturally inside, soaking the Chains of Heaven with Earth Element. Chains of Heaven gradually connected to the Gluttonous Taotie Bull-Dragon''s Spirit Ring and gained another mark all over its parts with a brownish hue. [40%] [50%] A loud snap echoed in Huo Yuhao''s body. He frowned because some of his bones and organs somehow were reconstructed to fit Gluttonous Taotie Bull-Dragon''s Spirit skills. He ignored the sensation and adjusted his breath again. [60%] [69%] One after another, Huo Yuhao felt his body be closer to the Earth. A glowing golden mark appeared shoulders and stretched to his stomach. And after a few hours, everything was over. [100%] Scathach tried to peek into Huo Yuhao''s room and saw him with a surprised look. "Eh? Is that Yuhao?" She rubbed her eyes for a moment. On the bed, Huo Yuhao has a slightly "bigger." physique with long blue hair hanging on his back. Since he was shirtless because of the sudden transformation, Scathach could see Golden Tattoos all over his chest area. "He looks no different than 12 years old... Also, he''s cuter than before~." The God yer''s breathing abruptly bes huskier than usual. She unknowingly licked her lips and returned to normal after realizing it. "What are you thinking, Scathach? You''re an adult, so keep yourself together. B-But Yuhao is more adorable now. Uugh, I can''t let myself fall into the dark side." "N-No..." "Y-Yes~!" As Scathach was confused with her inner desire, Huo Yuhao focused more on his newly gained skills. He called his status panel and clicked on the Chains of Heaven''s 3rd Spirit Ring. [Chains of Heaven] [1st Spirit Ring(+)] [2nd Spirit Ring(+)] [3rd Spirit Ring] [Devouring] [A powerful devouring skill that converts anything one''s eaten to raw energy using Taotie-like digestive abilities, which are known to be the strongest in this world] [Extreme Earth Maniption] [Manipte the Earth around you ording to your will, using a small amount of Spirit Energy as medium] [Taotie''s Strength(Passive)] [The more you eat, the more your strength increases] "Heh, they are pretty nice." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but grin while feeling his body shrinking back to normal. The mark has also gone from his skin. [You have leveled up] [You have leveled up] [You have leveled up] [You have...] [...] [Cultivation: Level 36(Spirit Elder)] [You have condensed the 2nd Blood Ring] "Oh?" A purple-gold ring appeared out of thin air. [Naga''s 2nd Blood Ring] [Type: Blood Ring/Spirit Ring] [Age: 1.000.000 Years Old(Estimated)] [Description: A condensation of Purple-med Divine Dragon''s bloodline and life essence/Ki, having some unique abilities] [Spirit Skills: Karmic Scales, Violet Genesis, Purgatory Prison] Huo Yuhaoughed and said, "Let''s see what you have for me, Naga." [Karmic Scales] [Increase one''s defense by five-folds and wrap the whole body with durable Dragon Scales, storing any damage received into Karmic Thunderfire for Counterattack] [Violet Genesis] [Create a violet sun of Thunderfire and illuminate everything before you in destruction dawn, burning everything into nothingness] [Purgatory Prison] [Create a prison made of Thunderfire, trapping the target in eternal burning space] "Well, Naga is generous. A set of active skills instead of passive or buff." Huo Yuhao tilted his head since Naga is an entric Dragon. He was sure that Violet Genesis and Purgatory Prison are "areas of effect." skills. Yes, there are no mistakes. "Shishou?" Scathach entered the room with a smile on her face and quickly grabbed Huo Yuhao''s body, hugging him tightly. She patted his head while breathing like she was running a marathon and didn''t utter a single word. "Phew~, That was a great session." She said while wiping her forehead, having somewhat glistening skin full of energy. Huo Yuhao felt weird because he was getting molested by Scathach. She didn''t do anything sexual but unquestionably touched/patted his body like no tomorrow. "Whatever, a small price for a bigger reward. Shishou, can you gather anyone you deem strong enough to explore the new continent? We have to explore this ce and probably find Spirit Ring for you and Ying''er." Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly. Scathach nodded and replied, "On the deck like usual?" "Yeah." "Then, I''ll gather everyone there in five minutes." Huo Yuhao watched her disappear from the room and shook his head because that young girl''s body made her movement speed faster. He also prepared himself and grabbed some storage rings he created through Spirit Engineering and Spatial Maniption. ... ... "You guys are faster than me." Huo Yuhao chuckled while arriving at the deck. Six people are waiting for him. Huo Yun''er giggled while covering her lower face with a fan and responded, "Well, I''m here first because how could I not follow my beloved Hao''er?" "Um, Yuhao. Are we going to get my first spirit ring there?" Qianye Ying''er asked, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. "Even though our first objective was to explore the continent and discover a suitable camp, we might find some spirit beast on the way. That''s why Shishou, mom, and you are here because you three need spirit rings." Huo Yuhao returned while staring at the other three members. They are Vige Leaders who he recruited in the past. "Nice to meet you, lord." A ck-haired woman in a modest white robe lowered her head to him. She''s Murong Qianxue, the former chief of Snow Vige, and has the Spirit King cultivation. As for the other Vige Heads, they are burly-looking men with matching outfits. You might think they are twins at first nce, but they aren''t. Lin Ming and Zhou Xuan are the head of a decent-sized vige that is well-known for being a rival to each other one hundred years ago. "Your majesty!" Ling Ming kneeled on the deck. Not wanting to lose, Zhou Xuan kneeled and lowered his head to the floor. "It''s a pleasure to meet you, young lord!" He shouted passionately, causing Ling Ming''s mouth to twitch in annoyance. Huo Yuhao smiled at them and replied, "Raise your head. I''ll create a wormhole on thatnd." "Everyone, ready?" "Yes!!!" He created a wormhole and stepped into it, getting followed by hispanions slowly from behind. They arrived on the beach and saw tall trees all over the edge. [Mystic Tree] [Type: nt] [Grade: B-A+] [Description: A nt that absorbs spirit energy and creates a white mist] "At least the mist isn''t fatal." Huo Yuhao used his Kenbunshoku Haki and scanned the beach skillfully, finding a natural path into the continent. He told his subordinate to follow him, and they walked into the forest filled with Mystic Trees. They walked for two hours and encountered some rare spirit beast on the way, but Scathach suddenly felt something was watching over them after walking into a "deeper." part of the forest. Scathach summoned Gae Bolg Alternative instinctively andmented, "Something is watching us." [Name: Mystic Deer] [Type: Spirit Beast] [Age: 6.969 Years Old] [Description: Mystic Deer is a native Spirit Beast to Mystic Tree Forest and have a powerful Light attribute after absorbing sunlight continuously for years, It could produce a light-based spear that catches its prey off guard in the thick mist] "Sorry, but you''re too perfect for Ying''er Battle g to be left alive." Huo Yuhao waved the Chains of Heaven and pulled the Mystic Deer through wormholes before it could even catch them off guard in this thick mist. The suppression was in effect and made the poor spirit beast faint immediately. "Is this for me?" Qianye Ying''er stared at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao handed her Baruka''s Dagger and answered, "Yeah, kill it quickly. End that deer''s life without making it suffer." Qianye Ying''er nodded with resolution and grasped Baruka''s Dagger handle. She breathed in because she had never killed any living being before, but this was Huo Yuhao''s holy mandate. She has to do it. "May your soul go to a better ce, deer..." She whispered while pressing the dagger on Mystic Deer''s head. And Purple Spirit Ring floated from the spirit beast''s corpse. Huo Yuhao pressed Qianye Ying''er shoulder and put her in the meditating position. He flowed his Spirit Energy into her and whispered, "Sit on the ground. I''ll help you to absorb this spirit ring." "Shishou, what about you?" "Do you need help?" "No, I''m fine. I want to see the effect of the Spirit Ring on my trusted weapon." Scathach grinned while lifting her Gae Bolg Alternative. "So I would hunt a suitable spirit beast by myself." "That won''t do. At least bring my mom, Murong Qianxue, and a copy of Chains of Heaven with you." He gave her a solemn look because this ce was unknown to them. Who knows what kind of danger lies inside this ce? "Eh, I want to stay with you, Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''erined while hugging him from behind. "Fine." Scathath pulled Huo Yun''er and Murong Qianxue with her to another part of the forest. Huo Yuhao sent the Chains of Heaven''s copies to her, wrapping her waist with it. After watching them go, Huo Yuhao returned his focus to Qianye Ying''er. "Yeah, like that. Do it slowly by letting the spirit energy flow into your martial soul." He said calmly. Huo Yuhao looked at the mystical forest''s scenery and continued, "And now, we wait." Chapter 34: Great Waterfall Ape Chapter 34: Great Waterfall Ape --- Chapter 34 --- BOOM! Huo Yuhao stood on a boulder casually and saw an enormous water deing. He stomped his leg onto the ground and forced wall upon wall of solid rock to burst out from the ground. An enormous white ape, with a simr appearance to King Kong besides the fur color, stood over the small mountain range. The beast stared at Huo Yuhao and held a de of fast-running water. "Looks like we can''t end this peacefully." Huo Yuhaomented while summoning Chains of Heaven. He opened his palm at the gigantic beast and used his sealing technique on it. The enormous ape roared angrily at Huo Yuhao and resisted the suppression from the Chain of Heavens, waving his water de around wildly. It destroys a good portion of the mountain range but can''t reach Huo Yuhao for some reason. Now, you might think. What happened here? Let''s return to a few moments ago. ~shback~ After helping Qianye Ying''er absorb the Mystic Deer''s 6.969 years old spirit ring, Huo Yuhao told his other subordinate to hunt their spirit rings as well. And Heforted them to go around without worry because the Chains of Heaven would protect them. Qianye Ying''er called her battle g, and a deep purple spirit ring floated around it. She obtained an impressive skill called Light Maniption, enabling her to give shape to light in the atmosphere. It''s a versatile and borderline broken spirit skill because Qianye Ying''er projectile-type attack could travel slightly slower than the speed of light. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao isn''t sure if she can manipte light radiation or not. Light Maniption ranged vastly simr to Spatial Maniption because they are over advanced elementspared to the fundamental ones like Earth Maniption. Not saying they are more significant than other elements, but every "Elemental Maniption." always has limitations like energy usage, range, etc. Qianye Ying''er waved her Battle g and shaped light around her into ten arrows. Shemanded them to pierce the nearest tree, but they could only stay solid for a brief moment and charred the bark slightly. She needed more training and familiarity with her new ability. ''I can upgrade her spirit ring easily with an Upgrading Ticket, but can Qianye Ying''er handle it?'' Huo Yuhao believed her smart enough to recognize the problem lies in her spirit skill. Yet, that doesn''t mean her body and spiritual sea could handle the bacsh. He shook his head andmented, "What she needs right now is experience. Even though her spirit ring upgraded, using it without prior understanding is like giving a gun to a child." Qianye Ying''er tilted her head and asked, "What are you talking about, Yuhao?" "Nothing." Huo Yuhao chuckled and used his Kenbunshoku Haki to scan the surroundings. He could sense Zhou Xuan and Ling Ming''s presence not far away from them, searching for suitable spirit beasts. He pondered a n because his mom, Shishou, and Murong Qianxue wouldn''t return soon. "Let''s meet up with others first." He said, to which Qianye Ying''er responded with a nod. They delved more into the mystical forest and met with Zhou Xuan and Ling Ming five minutester. These guys had found and hunted what they wanted to absorb, so Huo Yuhao protected the area for them. "Hmm??" Huo Yuhao tilted his head. The ground was trembling slightly, and Huo Yuhao could feel it because of his Extreme Earth Maniption. "Something big is stomping the ground." He used his Kenbunshoku Haki and Eyes of the Lord to see far away. A head filled with white fur came into his vision, which left him speechless for a moment. The size of this spirit beast is towering over the mountain range around it. "We are done absorbing our spirit rings, young lord/your majesty." Zhou Xuan and Ling Ming said simultaneously. "You fucker-! I''m the first." "In your head! I absorbed mine faster than yours." "We are going to hike that mountain. Have any of you rejected this idea?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly. "No response. I take that as a no." Qianye Ying''er smiled inside on the side because Huo Yuhao was releasing his aura on Zhou Xuan and Ling Ming so they could calm down. She walked beside Huo Yuhao and hummed a random tune she heard from Huo Yun''er. "Dango~, Dango~." ... ... "Halt your movement." Huo Yuhao frowned a little because his Haoshoku Haki red for a moment. That giant ape was the one who provoked him when reaching this continent. How convenient to meet that guy here. "Stay here. I''ll talk with thisd first." Qianye Ying''er waved her hand and responded, "Okay." After leaving his Haoshoku Mark to repel the spirit beast away from hispanions, Huo Yuhao jumped from tree to tree and approached the enormous spirit beast. He reached the area with a grand waterfall with a deep blueke below it. [Name: Great Waterfall Ape] [Type: Spirit Beast] [Age: 111.000 years old] [Description: Great Waterfall Ape is a spirit beast native to this continent and possesses congenital physical prowess that rivals even Taotie in the early stage. It could control water elements and is known as the Water Behemoth among the spirit beasts] Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes and saw the Great Waterfall Ape was ying around with water. The beast danced below the waterfall and created a ripple on theke. "Hey, Bro! Don''t pollute the water." He yelled while smirking at the beast. ROAR! "Human... How could there be a human here?" The beast responded weirdly. "Human, weak. Human, die." A water de made of theke water appeared on the Great Waterfall Ape''s hand. He swung the weapon to Huo Yuhao and created a shockwave, cutting a portion of the mountain range. "Damn, bro. It''s not that deep." Huo Yuhao dodged by creating a wormhole. BOOM! ~shback End~ [You have encountered one of the Beast Lords] [Defeating the Great Waterfall Beast would unlock this portion ofnd to create your Base, Host] Evo stated with the usual monotonous tone. "Thank you, Sherlock Evo. There is no way I figured that out by myself." Huo Yuhao sarcastically responded while falling from the sky. He clenched both of his hands and smashed them against each other. The Great Waterfall Ape felt danger and staggered because the ground was shaking below him. Two rock pirs burst out of the mountain and smashed him like a sandwich. SWOOSH! BOOM! "Sakura Sealing Arrays." Chains of Heaven wrapped around the pir and trapped the Great Waterfall Ape with no way out. The gravity increased by 200% for a beast that weighs roughly like a small mountain. It would be fatal. An abnormally huge mace and shield made of Eas appeared in Huo Yuhao''s hand, shining with a metallic shade. He used the normal force of gravity and added momentum to his iing attack. [You have activated Pdin ss] A purple light escaped Huo Yuhao''s eyes, and his entire body was covered by Thunderfire, causing dragon scales to appear on his upper body. He added the Divine me into the mace and boosted his attribute again. "Provoke." His spiritual energy exploded and reached the Great Waterfall Ape''s mind, angering the beast even more. It makes things easier because the ape wouldn''t be able to think clearly to counter him now. ROAR! "Waterfall sh." The Great Waterfall Ape angrily used his deadliest attack and sent a flying water de akin to a moving waterfall to Huo Yuhao. "Wormholes." Huo Yuhao created a wormhole on the Great Waterfall Ape''s neck, directing the attack back to the big monkey. BOOM! "HUMAN!" A painful roar escaped the beast. Huo Yuhao lowered his shield and whispered, "Shield Charge." BAM! He smashed the fiery shield onto the Great Waterfall Ape''s thick head, creating a dent in his skull. He rotated his whole body and swung the mace with his full strength. "Holy Smite!!" BOOM! ROAR! Huo Yuhao controlled the earth around and squeezed the Great Waterfall Ape into a coffin. A cracked skull should have stunned the beast for a moment, allowing him to use another killing technique. "Space Compression." He used half his spirit energy and squeezed the Great Waterfall Ape''s neck. Crack! He dragged his hand down indifferently and ripped the Great Waterfall Ape''s head from its neck. Evo confirmed the kill a few momentster. [You have killed the Great Waterfall Ape] [You have conquered 1/7 of the New Continent] [Rewarding 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket for killing your first 100.000 years old Spirit Beast] A red spirit ring materialized from the Great Waterfall Ape''s body and floated in the air, which left Huo Yuhao in a dilemma. He awkwardly stared at the beast''s corpse and scratched his cheek a little. "Uh, how do I store this?" He tilted his head in confusion Chapter 35: Teritory Chapter 35: Teritory --- Chapter 35 --- "Uh, How do I store this?" [You can store it in the Inventory] Evo answered with a dull tone. "Really?" Huo Yuhao asked for confirmation from Evo. [Yes. Spirit Rings are considered items by the system] [Even though Spirit Rings from an outside source are unstable because they contain remnants of Spirit Beast''sst memory/ consciousness, bloodline, and raw energies. It''s still an item] Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh because of how convenient Evo was to him. He doesn''t have time to develop the spirit ring storage tool built by the genius scientist Xuan Ziwen from the Sun and Moon Empire. [Name: Great Waterfall Ape] [Type: Spirit Ring/Spirit Beast] [Age: 111.000 Years Old] [Description: Great Waterfall Ape is a spirit beast native to this continent and possesses congenital physical prowess that rivals even Taotie in the early stage. It could control water elements and is known as the Water Behemoth among the spirit beasts] [Spirit Skill: Water Control, Greater Waterfall''s Crush] "Oh?" [Water Control] [Manipte the nearest body of water around you using spirit energy] [Great Waterfall''s Crush] [An enormous silhouette roared to the sky and transformed into a destructive Waterfall that swept over the enemy with extreme water pressure] "It''s not bad. In case I can''t find a more suitable spirit ring in the future. I can absorb this for the Chains of Heaven''s fourth ring." Huo Yuhao realized something and asked, "Wait, Spirit Rings can only get absorbed by the person who killed the spirit beasts. Does that mean the Spirit Ring from the system reward doesn''t have that imprint?" [Correct] "What about this spirit ring." Huo Yuhao pointed at the red spirit ring above the Great Waterfall Ape''s corpse. "Does storing it inside the Inventory erase the imprint?" [Do you want the system to neutralize the spirit ring?] "Evo, so smart." A grin was stered all over Huo Yuhao''s face because his system was easy to read. He noticed this fact after abusing Advance Training Quest for weeks. "And yes, I want to neutralize the spirit ring. Can you do it?" "Is it possible?" [Scanning...] [...] [It is possible. However, one year thoroughly was needed to run this protocol] "I can upgrade the process with Upgrading Tickets to make it faster, right?" [...] [Yes. You can use 1 Silver Upgrading Ticket to hasten the process instantly] [Do you want to use 1 Silver Upgrading Ticket on...] "No, I''ll do itter. Having Upgrading Tickets as currency is so pleasant." Huo Yuhao remarked while storing the Great Waterfall Ape''s spirit ring in his Inventory. He nced at this corpse and remembered 100.000 years old spirit beasts can form Spirit Bones. Huo Yuhao activated the Eyes of the Lord and observed the Great Waterfall Ape''s corpse, seeing every inch of the muscle tissue, bones, and organs. Heavenly Mirror is the innate ability of Huo Yuhao''s eyes, allowing him to see his enemy''s inside out. He walked toward the shoulder area and used Eas to create a sharp scalpel. He coated the scalpel with Busoshoku Haki because the Great Waterfall Ape''s skin is so tough. It''s like cutting through rock. After cutting through tough muscle tissue, Huo Yuhao could see a gleaming white bone. It released intense spirit energy with a blue hue. And he wasted 15 minutes taking it out. [Name: Waterfall Ape de] [Type: External Spirit Bone] [Grade: S] [Description: A precious spirit bone of the Great Waterfall Ape, having the shape of a pure white de without any handle. It is located on the right shoulder area because that was Great Waterfall Ape''s main shoulder arm] [Spirit Skill: Water Stream Edge, Great Waterfall''s sh] Huo Yuhao stared at the Waterfall Ape de and felt its sheer weight. This external spirit bone weighed over 420 kilograms and possessed a trace of the Great Waterfall''s Ape bloodline. As for the spirit skills, they are self-exnatory. Water Stream Edge allowed water to run on the de surface and increased the sharpness by several folds. And Great Waterfall sh was a wide-ranged skill that sent sharp water des to the enemy. "I won''t absorb this spirit bone for now." Hemented calmly while throwing the Great Waterfall de into his Inventory. "I had to research how Spirit Bone contains the Spirit Beast''s ability. It might allow me to imbue spirit skills with other objects or create weapon based on it." "For now, let''s clean this ce first." Huo Yuhao ced the enormous corpse into his Inventory and stared at the destroyednd. Their fights smooshed some mountains together and buried theke where the Great Waterfall Ape lives. "I only have 40% spirit energy left, but that was more than enough." He crouched and gently touched the ground with his hand. [Extreme Earth Maniption] Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and skillfully reshaped thend with his ability, ttening somend and fixing theke. He shifted the mountain range to a circle-like shape with theke in the center. He chuckled slightly and whispered, "This ce is big enough to fit the whole continent of Australia. The difference of size between the two worlds is hrious." "Goldy,e out." Huo Yuhao instantly opened the Sub-Dimensional Space and let 17 oceanic spirit beasts enter theke. They looked around the area curiously and felt weird as theke was fresh water. He used Earth Maniption to increase the mineral/salt content a little. "You guys will protect this ce now. Don''t let anyone enter this besides people from Dragon Nest and me. Is that clear?" He stated while looking at the Imoogi. The snake dragon has be more obedient after getting defeated by him. "Goldy, you''re the leader of this little group. Tell me if one of them dares to fight my order because I won''t spare their lives like before." Goldy nodded his head and excitedly floated around by pedaling his tail. And the rest of the oceanic spirit beasts are shivering in fear because Huo Yuhao sounds serious. This young man was a devil. "Any problem?" Huo Yuhao smiled at the spirit beast, and they shook their heads violently. "Good." "Then, I''ll see you guys in a few hours." Huo Yuhao vanished into thin air and appeared beside Qianye Ying''er, where he left his wormhole. He sighed in relief because everything was alright. "That was tiring." He said while drinking a recovery potion. "Are you okay?" Qianye Ying''er asked while massaging his tense shoulders. "The earth is trembling violently a few times when you''re gone, Yuhao." "Well, that was me." He replied casually. "Eh??" ... ... Scathach, Huo Yun''er, and Murong Qianxue returned to the Huo Yuhao group an hourter. They have hunted and absorbed their spirit rings. "There was an earthquake here. Was it you?" Scathach questioned while squinting her eyes a little at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Yes, Shishou. I fought the leader of this mountain. Even though I wasted my spirit energy fighting that guy, everything was under my control." Scathach excused herself and started to touch Huo Yuhao''s muscles from top to bottom. She frowned because his muscle growth exceeded her training regiment''s result by fighting spirit beast once. She seemed to underestimate her disciple''s unique body. "Hmm, I''ll change your training from now on." She said while feeling a hand on top of her head. Huo Yun''er stared at Scathach and indifferently said, "You might be Hao''er teacher, but I never allow you to molest him in broad daylight. Only I was allowed to do that." Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was speechless when hearing that but quickly noticed solemn looks on Qianye Ying''er and Murong Qianxue''s faces. They seemed to take Huo Yun''er words seriously because she was the leader of Huo Yuhao''s cult. "There is no such a rule." Scathach countered with her usual cold tone. "I''ll touch my disciple whenever I want." Huo Yun''er and Scathach stared at each other fiercely, and Huo Yuhao sighed inside because he had to calm these two down immediately. The recently imed territory would be and of fire and destruction if he let them fight. Growl~! "Ah... I''m hungry. Can we return to the ship first?" Huo Yuhao beamed at them. "Of course, Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''er responded instantly. Scathach pouted and replied, "If my disciple says so." After returning to the Yacht, Huo Yuhao sent some people to secure the border of his new territory with Spirit Radar because he couldn''t let other Beast Lords take advantage of it. They are 100.000 years old Spirit Beasts, meaning their intellect is most likely at the same level as a human. Huo Yuhao also ced Chains of Heavens around the border, setting Sakura Sealing Arrays and Bane of Monster skills. Thisbination would prevent any weak spirit beast from entering his territory. And the oceanic spirit beast in theke will protect the area from the inside. ... ... After dinner, Huo Yuhao sat on the leader''s seat inside the meeting room. He threw a stack of paper on the table and looked at the people here. They are people he recruited based on intellect and skills, having the potential to help Dragon Nest. He smiled at them and said, "We''ll start Dragon Nest development now." Chapter 36: Dragon Nest (1/6) Chapter 36: Dragon Nest (1/6) --- Chapter 36 --- New Continent. In a mountain range, a blue-haired youngster ran to the peak while being chased by a purple-haired girl with a crimson barbed spear in her hand. He breathed steadily and dodged red lights that chased over his heart. BOOM! Huo Yuhao kicked the ground and dodged a menacing red light that destroyed a boulder in front of him into pieces. He sighed and sprinted to the mountain peak, releasing some faint electricity. "Haha, Good. Keep running!" Scathach yelled while chasing over him. Her skilled movement is equal to Extreme Lightning Mirage''s speed, allowing her to follow Huo Yuhao easily. She waved the Gae Bolg Alternative andunched a few thrusts in the air, destroying the forest around them. Her attacks are so destructive and filled with killing intent. ... ... Huo Yuhao arrived at the mountain peak and breathed out of frustration. "That was tiring." He straightened his back and turned around, finding his Shishou with a grin on her face. Scathach is currently standing around 142 cm with her mid-length purple hair. She wore a ck-purple tracksuit with a dragon head symbol on the chest and back. Her current appearance is the result of Growth Rune. Growth Rune is Spirit Energy-powered rune created by Scathach and Huo Yuhao that could boost one''s physical growth by several years. It builds muscle and energy cirction inside one''s body. "You survived again today," Scathachmented while hugging Huo Yuhao from behind. "As expected of my disciple." Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "I''m afraid no one can follow your "Extreme." way of teaching besides me, Shishou. Attacking your student with the intent to kill is notmon." "Also, your hand..." He gradually looked down and saw Scathach''s slender hands going under his tracksuit, touching his abs like it was her daily routine. She teased his muscles with her soft yet experienced touches, which led to his defeated sigh. "Hmm, a fresh Yuhaonium of the day. It''s keeping me alive more than anything." Scathach sniffed lightly and whispered into his ears yfully. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but chuckle inside when hearing this. After freeing himself from Scathach''s grasp, Huo Yuhao stared at the morning sun and stretched his tired body a little because his great stamina "thoroughly." was consumed by her inhuman training. Yet, it was effective because every attack stimted his instinct. "Well, everyone seemed to arrive at their peaks too," Scathachmented while looking around the mountain ranges, noticing Dragon Nest''s members standing on the peak and staring at the morning sun. "It''s been one year. Time sure flies fast." After a while, Scathach remembered something and adoringly stared at her disciple as Dragon Nest reached this far because of him. "Sun Breathing Technique, huh? That man Yoriichi, who created such a method, was a genius, but hecked some element about surroundings and human growth. Breathing "Correctly." makes one''s lungs and heart work more efficiently, allowing for better body control and enhanced physical strength." "However, hepletely forgot that humans aren''t invincible. When one pushes internal organs continuously, they start to weaken because of forceful aging or losing lifespan. And led to inevitable death." Huo Yuhao shook his head and added something to her remark, "The technique that makes Demon yers strong ironically makes them die faster. And I can''t me them because Demons gued thend and caused more destruction. Some sacrifice is better than entire humanity''s demise." "I thanked him for creating Sun Breathing Technique because Dragon Nest could have a solid technique." He continued with a smile. Scathach smiled too andmented, "Universal Breathing Technique." Universal Breathing Technique is a technique that allows one''s body to grow without aging but rejuvenates internal organs constantly. It uses the Air/Spirit Energy in the surroundings to stimte inner energy/Qi and strengthen one''s physical capacities with continual active practice. Huo Yuhao modified Sun Breathing Technique without using any Upgrade after tapping more into his High Human adaptability. He adjusted the breathing sequences so people of all ages could practice them without harming themselves. It was Dragon Nest''s first must-practice technique, and everyone has learned it well. Of course, Huo Yuhao was always skeptical and added a hidden mechanism that prevented outsiders from learning the Universal Breathing Technique correctly. And that''s Spirit Circuits. "Shishou, let''s start the next training." Huo Yuhao breathed and triggered something inside his body. A faint series of bizarre lines emerged on his skin, shining dimly with golden light. Scathach grinned and triggered the same reaction, making some bizarre lines shine under her pale skin. Spirit Energy began to move toward them, creating rapid cirction throughout their bodies. Spirit Circuits are a pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through the human body. It serves three "main." purposes for someone''s growth. Convert, Attune, and Refine raw Spirit Energy into Life Force/Qi more efficiently. And It increases Spirit Energy''s reservoir and makes them denser than usual. Yes, Spirit Circuits is Magic Circuits'' version of Douluo Dalu. Huo Yuhao and Scathach developed this method to hasten the growth of Spirit Master, creating great synergy with the Universal Breathing Technique. Without this, the breathing technique won''t be as effective when trained by an outsider. Universal Breathing Technique enhances one''s body, but without Spirit Circuits? Not by much. Huo Yuhao would argue that the Universal Breathing Technique only increases Spirit Masters'' growth by 5% to 15%, depending on their mastery, and sometimes the boost is temporary. Yet, with Spirit Circuits, one''s growth soared by three to ten folds permanently. This heaven-defying effect is even better with unique physiques/races like High Human, Demi-Immortal, Holy Human, True Dragon, White Tiger, Etc. As for Spiritual Energy training, Huo Yuhao added Haki Training Method to Dragon Nest''s training n and made all the memberspetent in three fields. Even though they had only run this training for one year, it worked exceptionally well as everyone grew steadily and could defeat an enemy with a higher cultivation realm without any problem. ... ... Huo Yuhao breathed naturally and let Spirit Energy circte in his body. Spirit Circuit rapidly converted the raw energy into Life Force/Ki and increased his physical prowess even more than before. After finishing the 1000th breathing cycle like usual, he opened his eyes and saw Scathach with a small red tear mark on her left cheek. "Crest, a mark that appears when learning Universal Breathing Technique. It inherently was connected to Spirit Circuit''s nature, and there are five types of them." Huo Yuhao checked the back of his left hand, seeing a ck star shaped like five identical swordsbined. "It''s like Demon yer Marks, but with their purposes." "The most basic mark is a droplet-like mark that appears on one''s skin, marking the beginning of training. It''s an overall boost to one''s attribute and would grow gradually into other marks when one specialized enough." "Shishou''s tear mark excels in all-around physical boost." "Mom''s flower mark excels in a wide variety of spiritual ways." "Ying''er wings mark excels in wless energy control." "And my united sword mark excels in all three fields." Huo Yuhao frowned a little because they hadn''t discovered the "further." effects of these marks. He believed they only scratched the surface of this training method. Only times and further progression would tell more about it. "Evo, Status." [Opening Status...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 7] [Race: High Human] [Sub-Races: True Dragon(+), White Tiger(+)] [ss: Assassin, Avenger, Pdin, Archer] [Cultivation Realm: Level 40] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(2+), The Eyes of the Lord(+), Chains of Heaven(3+)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Universal Breathing Technique, Weapon Mastery, Martial Art Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(57), Baruka''s Dagger(A), Failure(Locked), Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(59), Bronze(7), Silver(7), Gold(9)] "Steady progression. I haven''t found any annoying obstacles besides the Sub-Quest parts." Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and stared at the status panel meticulously. "I''m at Level 40. Should I absorb another 100.000 spirit rings in my inventory? They are great, but not that great." Scathach''s eyelids slightly twitched when hearing Huo Yuhao''s casual remarks because 100.000 years old is like a weed on the street for her disciple. She was speechless and amused because he was truly ahead of everyone, aplete monster with monstrous potential and power. Huo Yuhao stretched his body and continued, "Oh well, I could get four more by defeating the other beast lords anyway. They are bing annoyingly persistent in thest few days as I possessed a third of the continent''snds after killing the Insect Monarch in the south." [Name: Absolute Ruler] [Objectives: Defeat all the Beast Lords in the area(3/7)] [Reward: 7 Gold Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Barrier(S)] "This reminds me that I was saving UT." Huo Yuhaomented with a weak smile. He walked to Scathach and poked her nose gently. "Wake up, Shishou." "We are gettingte for breakfast." "Also, I know you''re listening to me." He added while walking down the mountain. Scathach opened her eyes and shook her head because even after observing Huo Yuhao for one year, she still didn''t know his "special." ability. This adorable disciple of hers was too mysterious, making Scathach more intrigued about him. "Everyone has secrets." She couldn''t help but smile while lifting herself from the ground. After walking down the training mountain, Huo Yuhao and Scathach entered an electric-powered train station, and some people greeted them politely. Huo Yuhao waved his hand back at them and told the operator to start the train to the Dragon Nest''s base city, Naga''s Den. "Kyaa~! The young lord is so handsome and adorable." "Look at those fabulous blue eyes. I want the young lord to look at me coldly~." "I''m thirsty for some salty liquid~. Don''t kink shame!" Huo Yuhao walked onto the train andmented, "Damn, I can''t even go home peacefully." "Bold of you to assume peacefully is a correct word." Scathachughed on the side. "Also, they aren''t wrong for admiring you, my disciple~." "Sure, sure." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. ... ... Naga''s Den. A city built near Tobake, having a poption of over 30.000 people after Huo Yuhao recruited more people near the new continent. In just one year, Dragon Nest has recruited 69.000 people, and almost half of them live here. It''s a beautifulke-side city with modern-like infrastructure all over the tnd, having tall metal barriers surrounding it. People are bustling around the city, doing their morning jobs like usual. Kids are running and ying on the yground,ughing cheerfully. Everyone seemed to be more rxed after one year of development. "It''s not bad." Scathach nced at these people. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Yeah. Still, It''s just the beginning." They walked on the street and arrived at their house within five minutes. Huo Yuhao stopped at the front gate and was hugged tightly by a yellow sh. Huo Yun''er appeared here within one second when her Hao''er instinct exploded with excitement, sensing him reaching home. "Wee home~!" Huo Yun''er warmly said. Huo Yuhao hugged her back and replied, "I''m home." Chapter 37: Dragon Nest (2/6) Chapter 37: Dragon Nest (2/6) --- Chapter 37 --- Dragon Nest''s Headquarters, Trisakti. A towering ck building stood on the edge of Great Waterfall Mountain Range, having a dragon head logo on the top that glowed with white light. Its appearance is simr to the Stark Tower beside the logo, and the size is significantly bigger. Inside the meeting room, a lovely secretary in a formal ck suit and mid-length cream skirt greeted everyone with a smile. She exined Dragon Nest''s progression in the past few months, having everyone''s attention. "Moon Monolith is working perfectly so far, young lord." "After all, cing it near Toba Lake and Sumeru Mountain was the right choice. Moon Monolith has started to affect the fauna and flora there, evolving and increasing the amount of Heaven and Earth Treasure. We have sent some Alchemist-ss units to the area. And some Spirit Master to watch over Spirit Beast''s evolution." "Also, We have used the gravitational pulling effect to create a training chamber with increased pressure, and the growth of spirit energy around the area bes denser each day." She added while showing everyone the projector of the Sumeru Mountain and Toba Lakes''s sceneries, and each possessed denser Spirit Energy ording to Spirit Radar''s scans. The secretary gradually pressed another button and showcased mountain training field number 7, a small mountain near Sumeru Mountain. It''s a ce with the least Gravitational Pulling Effect that''s 100km away from the Moon Monolith. "Training Field No.7 is a few miles from the Naga''s Den. We have tested the pressure there and concluded that everyone below Spirit Elder could train there without any problem. It has twice the normal gravity that increases the growth of our peers. steadily" "And the gravity increases twice the closer we are to the Moon Monolith, with Training Field No.3-1 prohibited to use until further inspection of the area. Thank god, young lord Vibranium Barrier was able to redirect the gravitational effect into a straight line, or else every project we nned would be useless because we can''t work on it." "What do you think, young lord?" Huo Yuhao leaned on his chairzily. He wore a formal suit but became messy as he unbuttoned it minutes ago, leaving his white shirt toe out. He has grown tremendously in thest few years, having the appearance of a tall teenager with a refined physique despite being nine years old. Yawn~. "Should I rece the Vibranium Barrier with a new one? Some ces can''t be covered by it, after all." Huo Yuhao said while staring at the secretary. Everyone stared at him with a wry look because his proposition literally solved the problem. "Ah yes, I''ll adjust the gravity field, and it will be more concentrated near the Moon Monolith." "T-That will do, young lord." The secretary replied while clearing her throat. "Now for the next issues." "Dragon Nest''s Academy has epted 42.690 students in thest three years, with half being in the advanced ss and the other in the elementary level. Lady Qianye Ying''er, Teacher Scathach, and Mistress have introduced them more to Spirit Masters, Language and Culture, and Dragon Nest''s knowledge." "We also received the candidate for White Room''s Student and surprisingly have more than my expectation. Each has enough potential to be powerful Dragon Nest''s future pirs." Yun Han raised his hand and asked, "Mei, How many brats have shown this potential? Since they are around the same age as our young lord, I''m curious about their numbers." The secretary clicked a new button and showed everyone seven pictures of young children. They are around 7-9 years old with quirky appearances and personas. Huo Yuhao nced at these kids and nodded because their stats were better than Dragon Nest''s standard. "Should I introduce them?" The secretary tilted her head, but no one in the room said anything. Huo Yuhao shrugged and told her to continue on the Dragon Nest''s progression. She nodded and continued, "As the young lord ordered, we sent a small fleet to Douluo Continent one year ago. I''ll show everyone the list of ongoing events on the Douluo Continent right now." "Star Luo Empire and Sun and Moon Empire have gone into silent war. Evil Spirit Masters also grew under the light, bing stronger each month by converting/corrupting small viges around the continent in the past three years." "As for Dou Ling Empire and Heaven Spirit Empire, their internal conflict has grown more. It might grow into civil war with some harsh friction." Everyone slowly moved their gazes to Huo Yuhao and noticed his evil grin, making some higher-ups shiver because that wasn''t a good sign for their enemy. Huo Yuhao was known for his vicious scheme, pushing his enemy to the extreme point of breaking. They had seen enough when some smartass wanted to rebel against Dragon Nest. And what did Huo Yuhao do next? He didn''t just teach those idiots a lesson but warned everyone what could happen to them if something like this happened again. That event prevented anyone from getting the idea of opposing him back. Some minorities called him a young tyrant, but Yun Han and other higher-ups knew that Huo Yuhao''s "heartless." act was essential to establish order in Dragon Nest. ''He''s mature for our future.'' Yun Han sighed while drinking his wine. He has seen many miraclesing from Huo Yuhao, and some people just failed to realize them. There would be a time when Huo Yuhao wasn''t here, and Dragon Nest should be able to stand firmly in the middle of a storm. Huo Yuhao grabbed the teacup on the table and questioned the secretary, "Anyway, the Dragon Nest''s Branch Base should beplete soon, right? Mei, show me the progression." "Yes, young lord." The projector showed a towering building near the seaside, inside a cave. It''s simr to Dragon Nest''s main headquarters but smaller, with some people moving around to build Rune Barriers around it. "Around 90% done, huh?" Huo Yuhaomented while thinking about something. He could have created permanent wormholes to connect the main headquarters and the branch, but they would consume his Spirit Energy more. Not to mention Chains of Heaven would lose some copies. "Hmm, Let''s wrap up this meeting." "I''ll fix the Vibranium Barrierter, so tell others to move away from the area." After thinking for a few minutes, Huo Yuhao dismissed everyone and told them to operate the usual n. They haven''t conquered this continent because there are two Spirit Beasts with cultivation above 400.000 years old. He has to prepare a few things to finish the Absolute Ruler''s Quest. "I''ll go the Spirit Labs, I guess." Huo Yuhao disappeared from the meeting room. ... ... Underground Laboratory. Huo Yuhao came to the ce where the Dragon Nest''s greatest minds work. He entered the nearestb and saw Xiao Chen hammering something onto an anvil. The former cksmith has be Spirit Engineer after learning Spirit Engineering from Huo Yuhao for three years, creating a way tobine smithing with technology. "Oh, you''re here, Boss?" Xiao Chen wiped his sweat and stared at Huo Yuhao. He hadn''t seen him for a while, and Huo Yuhao''s height almost reached his neck. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Well, I want to check this ce once in a while, you know. And How is the progression on changing G-Rector''s shell because Deep ck Iron is too fragile for long-term usage?" Xiao Chen picked something from a pile of scraps and threw a porcin-looking rock to Huo Yuhao. The young lord caught it casually, staring at the item for a while. [Name: Mineral Compound No.69] [Type: Item] [Grade: S+] [Description: A mineralpound created by Xiao Chen based on suitable material for G-Reactor''s shell. He synthesized over one hundred minerals and seeded in creating a blend with excellent heat/energy conductivity that has better durability than Deep ck Iron] "Oh, sweet. You''ve improved again, Chen." Huo Yuhao smiled a little because this cksmith didn''t even know what oxygen was three years ago. Xiao Chen grew from a small ambitious cksmith into a renowned Spirit Engineering. A man called the weapon maniac because he wanted to create a weapon that could split mountains. He ced the porcin-like rock on the nearest table and added, "I guess you also have created a G-Reactor with thispound?" "Who do you think I am? Of course, I''ve done it." Xiao Chen frowned while bringing the new version of G-Rector. Instead of the usual cube, it has an orb-like shape. [Name: Geo-Reactor V.2] [Type: Energy Reactor] [Grade: SS] [Description: A new version of Geo-Reactor, having a better performance than the first version by 50%] Huo Yuhao broke the reactor apart and scanned through the whole thing skillfully. He frowned and sighed because Xiao Chen created the same mistake. The weapon maniac changed the shell, but the inside was still the same. It''s just a G-Reactor with a better energy charge. "Since I''m here, let''s create the third version." Hemented while throwing his suit away. He rolled his sleeve and burned the G-Reactor V.2 with Thunderfire, leaving Xiao Chen speechless on the side. Xiao Chen wanted to say something but closed his mouth and decided to observe Huo Yuhao. He could learn a lot from Huo Yuhao''s sudden acts. Huo Yuhao added a small amount of Vibranium into the core and created inner bearings with better electric conductivity. He also assembled them while pressuring the piece with Extreme Earth Maniption, allowing him to control the mineral after three years of training. ck! Huo Yuhao used Mineral Compound No.69 as the shell and ced the finished product on the anvil, heating it with his Thunderfire. The new Geo-Reactor released purple color and generated more electricity than the two previous versionsbined. "FUCK!" Xiao Chen stared at the new Geo-Reactor. "How can you be so good!" "I''m the creator of this field, duh." A smug grin appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face, which made Xiao Chen more speechless. "Hehehe~!" "Well, follow me to the Vibranium Shield. We need to fix something there." ... ... Blessed Land. A vastnd between Sumeru Mountain and Toba Lake with a lonely purple pir in the middle, It was the Moon Monolith Huo Yuhao took and assembled three years ago in the Northern Sea City, the origin of Dragon Nest''s endless resources. He nted many medicines and let Spirit Beast live here, allowing them to evolve and grow. And he even used Extreme Earth Maniption to increase the number of rare minerals under the blessednd. Huo Yuhao and Xiao Chen arrived at the Blessed Land. And They were weed by the sight of and filled with many rare Heaven and Earth treasures. This ce would make anyone who knows treasure''s value droll like no tomorrow. "Well, there it is." Huo Yuhao said while touching a ck case near the Moon Monolith. As he opened the case, an orb made of Vibranium and other rare materials came into his sight. He used Lace and changed the orb position a few times until the axis was inverted, causing the gravity pull to concentrate on the blessednd only. There is some residue, but they actually were beneficial for Dragon Nest''s training field. Xiao Chen frowned and said, "Someone is contacting me through the spiritual link. The Bronze Monarch is approaching the west border with his army." Huo Yuhao yfully smirked and responded, "Aww, that annoying lizard finally came out from his hole. Call everyone above the Spirit Emperor Realm. We''ll show the Bronze Monarch our Dragon Nest''s power." "This is the one-sided massacre before the final conquest." Chapter 38: Dragon Nest (3/6) Chapter 38: Dragon Nest (3/6) --- Chapter 38 --- "Attention to all Dragon Nest''s members." "The Bronze Monarch was approaching the west border, and the young lord ordered everyone above the Spirit Emperor realm to gather there within 15 minutes." Xiao Chen''s voice echoed throughout the mountain range, reaching every corner of the Dragon Nest. Xiao Chen nced at Huo Yuhao and wondered why he didn''t announce this himself. He shook his head in defeat because Huo Yuhao was too hard to read. "What should we do next?" He asked him. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "We wait. Bronze Monarch isn''t dumb enough to attack West Border immediately because I ntednd and air mines there, so moving through it without my Key Rune is a suicide move from then." "Key Rune?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly. "There is such a thing??" Huo Yuhao smirked viciously and didn''t answer Xiao Chen''s question because Key Rune was always part of the Dragon Nest''s security system. Only he and Scathach are aware of this cold mechanism because they are the ones who developed barriers around the border gate. "Prepare yourself, Xiao Chen. After the war with the Bronze Monarch, there would be a crusade in the Dragon Nest. It is bound to happen anyway, one way or another." Huo Yuhao created a wormhole back to the Spirit Laboratory, leaving the former cksmith in thought about his previous statement. "Uugh, I felt something bad was about to happen." Xiao Chen followed Huo Yuhao into his wormhole. .... West Border, Suma''s Outpost. Scathach looked down on the swampnd before her eyes and frowned because the Bronze Monarch was not far away from it, observing Dragon Nest''s border like a piece of meat. There are seven beast lords on the new continent, and each has a domain of its own. Huo Yuhao defeated Water Behemoth, Insect Monarch, and Evesting Bear Lord two years ago. It caused a spark on the new continent because a newpetitor emerged from nowhere and possessed a third of thend. Of course, the other beast lord bes wary of him. Scathach leaned on the concrete pir andmented, "Now that I think about it, Yuhao conquered Insect Monarch and Evesting Bear Lord''s domain based on their resources. Even though the area was a thousand kilometers away from the Water Behemoth''s mountain range, he deliberately sparked the conflict between our conquerednd and the beast lord''s. And the nearest beast lord tried to take it, which led him to set a trap." "Silver Beast King and Mountain Lion King were trapped by his scheme and ambushed by Dragon Nest''s bombardment for hours, failing to realize their mistake for entering the Dragon''s Nest." "Is that a pun?" Qianye Ying''er walked into Suma''s Outpost with a smile on her face. "They failed to realize their mistake for entering the Dragon Nest?" "Teacher Scathach, you''re adorable sometimes, you know." Scathach nced at Qianye Ying''er and saw a blonde-haired youngdy standing in her white battle robe. After living in the harsh new continent and being trained by Scathach for three years, the noble girl has grown into a fine youngdy. Qianye Ying''er was about the same height as Scathach despite having a more "blessed." teenager-like body than the purple-haired god yer. Her luscious blonde hair was braided and reached her back, adding more aesthetic to her whole appearance. "Hmm, does it looks weird?" Qianye Ying''er tilted her head while checking her outfit. She hasn''t worn her gauntlet yet because Huo Yuhao wasn''t here. Scathach shook her head and replied, "You look simr to a certain girl I know. Well, she''s more innocent and less open-minded than you. No, I take that back because you''repletely different than her, Ying''er." "I don''t think Jeanne would ever create a cult-." She coughed while looking away. Qianye Ying''er stepped to Scathach merrily, and her lips curved into a gentle smile. "Teacher Scathach~! Do you want the new series of that exclusive picture?" She whispered into the god yer''s ears. "They are on me for today~." Scathach coughed even more, but her hand instantly stretched out to Qianye Ying''er. The blonde youngdy''s smile bes a wicked grin when seeing this, cing a stack of pictures on the hand of the renowned Dragon Nest''s demonic teacher. Qianye Ying''er watched Scathach''s face blush in shame and hum yfully while thinking about Huo Yuhao. She has spread her holy gospel to the Dragon Nest''s members and recruited them into the cult. Even though Qianye Ying''er hasn''t made any move yet, she realizes some rats are trying to w at her lord''s feet. "Teacher, rest assured. We are still far away from divine enlightenment." Qianye Ying''ermented while teasing Scathach more by spoiling her with some spicy pictures. The blonde youngdy has 90% control over the Dragon Nest''s female members, so acquiring intel isn''t hard for her. Huo Yun''er arrived at the Suma''s Outpost a few minutester with an apron. After three years, her appearance has be somewhat refined, with an adult-like aura around her. She noticed Qianye Ying''er and Scathach and asked, "Why are you blushing, Scathach?" Scathach ced the pictures in her spatial storage and naturally replied, "Well, the air is quite hot these days." "We are close to winter. What are you talking about?" A frown appeared on Huo Yun''er face. She suspiciously stared at Qianye Ying''er, but the young fanatic was only raising her hands cluelessly. "Whatever, just give me the usual goods, Ying''er." Hearing this, Qianye Ying''er nodded and threw a spatial ring to Huo Yun''er. "Hehe~! Hao''er~." Huo Yun''er peeked into the storage and giggled happily. ''This woman...'' Scathach was speechless. "Oh??" Qianye Ying''er calmly nced at the West Border and saw Dragon Nest''s members gathered above the wall. They are staring at the swamp and preparing themselves for the iing battle. The only person left was Huo Yuhao. "He''s here." Scathach suddenly dered and returned to her usual self. Everyone looked up and saw a blue-haired teenager with six mechanical arms around him. He wore a tight battle suit that showed his refined muscle and a white mask that hung on the side of his face. He opened his mouth and dered, "I''ll be short and straightforward. We''ll show the Bronze Monarch our Dragon Nest''s power and conquer hisnd." "Wear your armor and raise your weapon. It''s going to be Dragon Nest''s first fight." "This is not the war I wanted. We are here to massacre everything on our path. No Exception!" [Opening Status...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 9] [Race: High Human] [Sub-Races: True Dragon(+), White Tiger(+)] [ss: Assassin, Avenger, Pdin, Archer] [Cultivation Realm: Level 50] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(3+), The Eyes of the Lord(+), Chains of Heaven(4+)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Universal Breathing Technique, Weapon Mastery, Martial Art Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(59), Baruka''s Dagger(A), Failure(S+), White Ogre Mask, Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(111), Bronze(23), Silver(2), Gold(20)] Huo Yuhao ced the White Ogre Mask on his face and called Failure in his hand. He created a shield, mace, and bow with Eas''s copies and heard Evo''s voice in his head. [Avenger ss was in effect] [Pdin ss was in effect] [Archer ss was in effect] "And thest one." He equipped Baruka''s Dagger and heard thest notice from Evo. [Assassin ss was in effect] [All attribute has increased by 400%] [You have met all the requirements and unlocked All ss-Rted Skills] Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and felt a rush of information in his head. It took him a few minutes to soothe his spiritual sea from the enormous knowledge of four ssesbined. He looked down on his subordinate and lifted Failure, showing everyone the shark-like greatsword. "Everyone, active your martial soul!" BOOM! At this very moment, the Dragon Nest''s West Border exploded with brilliant color as over 300 Spirit Saints summoned their martial souls. 50 Spirit Douluo illuminated the area, and 7 Title Douluo floated beside Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao used Demonic Changes and made his muscles swell a little. He summoned Chains of Heaven with some golden portal appearing around him. The Eyes of the Lord glowed under the menacing blue sky, releasing intense spiritual pressure. "Universal Breathing Technique." Huo Yuhao made Spirit Circuits triggered with intense golden light, and a united sword mark appeared on the back of his right hand. "The Greatest Monster..." "Tyrant." "Young lord." "Dragon Nest''s Monarch." "True Dragon King." "Blue Genesis." "My Disciple." "Yuhao." "Hao''er..." Huo Yuhao''s spirit ring brightened the swampnd with crimson light. He heard everyone''s voice and smiled because his subordinates andpanions had been on his side for three years. However, this is not his final form. "This is not the end." He whispered while activating Naga''s Martial soul and summoning three purple gold spirit rings, making everyone shiver out of instinct. "Naga..." "This is the second time." Afortable burning sensation spread from Huo Yuhao''s heart, rising to his throat like a volcanic st. ROAR! BOOM! A piercing dragon roar escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth and made the whole continent tremble violently, creating thunderous clouds in the sky. Huo Yuhao pointed the greatsword at the Swamp Land and indifferently ordered everyone, "DRAGON NEST!" "DESTROY THEM ALL!" Chapter 39: Dragon Nest (4/6) Chapter 39: Dragon Nest (4/6) --- Chapter 39 --- "DRAGON NEST!" "DESTROY THEM ALL!!" A battle cry echoed throughout the new continent, shaking thend with bloodlust for the iing massacre. Huo Yuhao kicked the air and moved to the Swamp Land, tightening his grip on Failure''s handle. Qianye Ying''er jumped down from the wall and summoned her Battle g. As she wore her silver gauntlet, four spirit rings appeared around her. "Oh, lord~! Please grant us strength to triumph over this battle." She breathed in, and Spirit Circuits red with excitement, making some broken white lines spread on her back and forming wing-like marks. "Holy Dragon''s Blessing." Her ck spirit rings lit up and merged into one red spirit ring, creating a field of holy light around Dragon Nest''s member. This act increased the allies'' spirit to fight and their attributes by 100% when the fight started between her lord and the enemy, and It also created a bounded field around their bodies, protecting them from far three times or once if it was a life & death situation. Huo Yun''er stood on the wall and activated both of her martial souls without any problem. She used her Mystic Spirit Eyes and Heavenly Fox''s sight to watch over the swampnd battlefield, viewing every Doom and Luck Qi on the field. And her beloved Hao''er is shining the brightest in the area. Twelve spirit rings rose under her feet, releasing the intense pressure of the Deity Beast and Spiritual Energy. There are seven spirit rings on the Heavenly Fox''s martial soul, five ck and two red spirit rings. Meanwhile, Mystic Spirit Eyes have all red spirit rings. "Luck Dismantling Gaze..." Huo Yun''er reached over the Swamp Land and clenched her hand, causing Doom Qi to spread even more on the Bronze Monarch''s army. Her skill led to inevitable destruction. Scathach watched these two solemnly because Qianye Ying''er and Huo Yun''er had grown significantly "stronger." than anyone in Dragon Nest. Well, besides Huo Yuhao alone. "These blondies." She couldn''t help but smile a little. Qianye Ying''er was merely nine and a Level 49 Spirit Ancestor Realm, but she could defeat anyone below the Spirit Saint Realm. Her Light Maniption and martial art mastery are "Simply." above Dragon Nest''s standard, allowing her to overpower everyone in speed attacks. It''s a fact that you cannot blink when fighting Qianye Ying''er because a light spear would have reached your neck. Yet, she chooses to be an auxiliary-type Spirit Master because of her inner desire, leaving everyone besides people close to her confused. Meanwhile, Huo Yun''er. No one wanted to make this mother with a severe sonplex their enemy because of her innate ability that remains secret for anyone but Huo Yuhao, Qianye Ying''er, and Scathach. Even though Scathach could gauge just how dangerous this foxydy was, the limit of Huo Yun''er Luck and Doom Maniption is still vague to her. Huo Yun''er called the Mistress because her order was absolute under Huo Yuhao, and one can''t deny it. Scathach hated to admit it, but with her current strength. Winning against this ambiguous power would cost more than her arm. "What a bizarre group of people. That''s why I can''t lose to them." Scathach giggled amusingly and activated her martial souls. Everything was so fun in this world, and her new life exceeded the previous one in terms of adventure. Gae Bolg Alternative and Soul Breaking Spear appeared in her hands, shining with crimson and ck colors. And Ten spirit rings emerged out of thin air. Scathach has reached level 57 Spirit King in just three years and absorbed five spirit rings for respective twin martial souls. Gae Bolg Alternative possessed three ck rings and two red spirit rings. And Soul Breaking Spear has all red spirit rings after boosting their ages with Primordial Absorption Rune. "Eternal Arms..." She closed her eyes while crossing the crimson and ck spears. "G¨¢e Bolg: Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death." ... "T-This was..." Yun Han, one of the seven title doulos, mumbled in disbelief. His neck felt cold just watching this scenery. Everyone shivered and raised their gazes to the sky, seeing a terrifying amount of red-barbed spears fall like unrealistic rain, yet they knew this was real. The crimson rain descended to the battlefield and killed every Bronze Monarch''sckey advancing toward the West Gate. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The one-sided ughter entered their sights, leaving everyone speechless because only one person caused all this death. A youngdy in a purplish-ck battle outfit stood on the West Gate, her purple hair tied in a ponytail and her red eyes shone like the God of Death''s gaze. She kicked the ground below her and leaped into the air, waving her ck spear gently. "Soul Breaking Spear..." Her indifferent voice echoed, making the Spirit Beast tremble in fear out of instinct. ROAR! A dragon with bronze-gleamed scales appeared from the depth of Swamp Land and roared at the sky. "DRAGON NEST! TODAY, I''LL KILL EVERY LAST BIT OF YOU AND CONQUER THIS LAND!!" [Name: Bronze Dragon King] [Type: Spirit Beast] [Age: 555.690 years old] [Description: A Second-Born Dragon with the innate ability to control Corrosion Energy, known for being the Bronze Monarch because all his enemies turned into rusty dust when defeated] "Dream on, lizard." Scathach clenched her grip on the Soul Breaking Spear, causing the sudden atmosphere shift in the area. An enormous silhouette descended from the sky, revealing a spiral spearhead. It releases enough pressure to make the Bronze Monarch roar angrily at the sky. "DAMN HUMAN! CORROSION!" "Soul Breaking Strike..." A wave of destruction filled with bronze hue spread from the Bronze Monarch''s roar, erasing everything into rusty sands. Scathach''s spear halted for a moment because the Corrosion decreased the force and momentum. However, it was more than enough for her. SWOOSH! BOOM! The Soul Breaking Spear fell into the Swamp Land and created massive destruction, erasing a good chunk of thend. And the Bronze Monarch frowned because his attack failed to erase Scathach''s spear. "But you still can''t touch me." The Bronze Monarch arrogantly stared at Scathach, noticing a smirk on her face. Scathach closed her eyes and said, "Go, my disciple." A purple sh broke through the sound barrier and appeared before the Bronze Monarch. "Doom Sword." Huo Yuhao swung the Failure and pierced the ground. BOOM! Violent energy exploded underground and exploded everything, living or not, within a 100-meters radius flying in the sky. The Bronze Monarch was no exception as Huo Yuhao stared at him indifferently. Dragon Nest members began to move and sweep the Bronze Monarch''s army. Two sides are shing with each other, leaving Huo Yuhao alone with the Bronze Monarch. The dragon with bronze-gleamed scales frowned at the young human before him. He could feel the intense dragon''s blood from his tiny body, wanting to devour it to reach a higher stage. "DIE! BRONZE AGE!" "Roll, Dice." Huo Yuhaomented casually. [Name: Dice] [Type: Extra Skill] [Grade: SSS] [Description: A magical dice that could offset the mortal''s fate and nullifies iing damage when activated. Rolling various numbers would change how much damage was received by the user or even cancel the enemy''s attack] [Cooldown: 15 minutes] [Rolling...] Evo''s monotonous voice echoed. [You have rolled Number 6] [Bronze Age Nullified] "H-How?!!" The Bronze Monarch saw his attack vanish into thin air, leaving some rusty air behind. He couldn''t believe his damn eyes for a moment, but this wasn''t an illusion. He was furious andunched his sharp w at Huo Yuhao. CLANK! BAM! Huo Yuhao controlled his mechanical arm spiritually and used Eas''s Vibranium shield coated by Busoshoku Haki to sh with the iing attack. "Shield Charge." He used Pdin''s Skill and bashed the sharp w away. The Bronze Monarch''s w was blown away by Huo Yuhao''s shield charge, leaving a gap between them. Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and swung Failure with all his strength. [Skill Bisect Triggered] [Avenger''s Vengeance Storm activated] The shark-like greatsword in Huo Yuhao''s hand released an intense heat and manifested ten vibrant crimson swords around him. He swung Failure and produced a chaotic storm filled with sharp yet fiery energies. SWOOSH~! [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] "This power-!" The Bronze Monarch and his army were swept over Huo Yuhao''s attack, disabling them from attacking Dragon Nest for a few seconds. Huo Yuhao sped his hand and controlled the earth element around them. "Earth Dome." A tall dome burst out of the ground and covered everything within a 200 km radius, preventing the Bronze Monarch and his army from running away. Huo Yuhao''s fourth red spirit ring lit up and abruptly changed the atmosphere. It gave off an eerie aura, making the Bronze Monarch feel an odd sense of fear, and it was a normal reaction. [Name: Ashborn''s Spark] [Type: Spirit Ring/Pure Darkness] [Age: 500.000] [Description: Ashborn was the infamous Shadow Monarch and possessed the power of death, having thest bit of his spark sealed in the depth of void] [Spirit Skills: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, Shadow Realm] Huo Yuhao immersed himself in the darkness and summoned every beast lord killed in their new appearances. He watched the Bronze Monarch''s expression filled with fear as his once friends and rivals became Shadow Creatures. An enormous ape, a giant stag beetle, a rough-looking massive bear, a silver-beast shadow, and a majestic lion made of gray me. "Y-You..." Huo Yuhao grinned under his White Ogre Mask and created wormholes around the Bronze Monarch. "Attack him." He ordered coldly. BOOM! Five shadows leaped into the wormholes and surrounded the Bronze Monarch instantly, ambushing him with their respective attacks. They didn''t leave any chance for the dragon to retaliate. ROAR! "HUMAN!" "HOW DARE YOU-!" BOOM! "Shut up." Huo Yuhao responded indifferently, watching the Water Behemoth''s shadow filling the Bronze Monarch''s mouth with his elbow. [Avenger ss reacted with Ashborn''s Spark] [Starting advancement...] [Avenger ss has upgraded to Dark Avenger] An overwhelming sensation spread from Huo Yuhao''s chest and covered his whole body. He looked at his arm and saw red veins pop off his skin. He breathed in and let the Spirit Circuits handle the transformation, causing wings made of shadow to spurt out of his back. The united sword star mark on the back of Huo Yuhao''s hand changed into a shadowy sword mark. He didn''t notice this because of Eas''s armor covering his body. [All Avenger-rted skills have evolved] "What a weird sensation." Huo Yuhaomented while staring at the surroundings with his blue eyes, which have a crimson tint now. [Pdin ss reacted with Naga''s Lineage] [Pdin ss has upgraded to Dragonborn Crusader] [All Pdin-rted skills have evolved] Huo Yuhao''s armor gained a white tint with a golden gleam, and his left eye shone with brilliant purple-gold color. Eas''s Mace and Vibranium Shield gained a crossed fang-like symbol. "DAMNED HUMAN!!!" The Bronze Monarch released intense bronze-colored energy from his body. He stared at Huo Yuhao angrily with the half-destroyed former beast lord''s shadows around him. "I''ll kill you..." "This humiliation, I''LL KILL YOU!" He lunged toward Huo Yuhao and charged Corrosion Energy out. Huo Yuhao lifted the mace and said, "Thor''s Hammer." "Judge''s Power." He charged toward the Bronze Monarch and epted the dragon''s attack straight ahead. He kicked the ground and released his Haoshoku Haki to extreme limits. "Holy Smite EX." Purple-colored energy based on Thunderfire and Dragonborn Crusader''s holy element exploded from the mace and shed with Bronze Monarch''s Corrosion. BAM! BOOM! Their attack created another storm and shattered everything within three hundred meters, decimating any lifeform. And Huo Yuhao''s chest was bleeding because of it. However, the Bronze Monarch was in the worst condition because he lost his left arm. Holy Smite Ex broke through his scales and pulverized everything inside, separating the dragon''s left arm. ROAR!! Huo Yuhao coughed a mouthful of corroded blood and breathed out, "Universal Breathing Technique." [Dark Avenger''s Death Knell] He leaped to the Bronze Monarch with wormholes and covered Failure with Haki. He swung the greatsword skillfully and shot ten continuous dark me swords at the dragon, injuring the beast lord. ROAR!! "CORROSION ERA!!" "Bane of Monster, Sakura Sealing Arrays." Chains of Heaven bounded the Bronze Monarch onto the ground and increased the gravity around him. However, it doesn''t deactivate his attack. Corrosion Era is Bronze Monarch''s final attack by burning every energy and blood, turning them into a field of destruction. Sakura Sealing Arrays reduced the damage, but not by much. "Purgatory Prison." Thunderfire covered the ground and burned the Bronze Monarch''s scales into ashes, slowing him down. Huo Yuhao wiped the blood from his mouth and mumbled, "This should be enough to charge the Karmic Scale." [Dice''s cooldown is over] "Roll." Huo Yuhao charged thest hit of the Death Knell. [Rolling...] [You have rolled number 1] [Reducing Bronze Era''s damage by 20%] Huo Yuhao faced the Corrosion Era directly and let Corrosion Energy hit him. A blinding dark-violet light burst out from the Failure, cutting through the air with extreme heat. Bronze Monarchughed and roared, "You''re STUPID! CORROSION ERA WILL ERASE YOUR EXISTENCE FROM THIS WORLD!" "HAHAHA, GOODBYE! LITTLE DRAGON!!" "Erase me from this world?" Huo Yuhao flew through the Corrosion Era with half-destroyed Eas''s armor. The greatsword in his hand burned with bloodlust, wanting to ughter the enemy before him. "You''re not close enough." He seemed to skip through the space with pure speed alone and waved the Failure down. The Bronze Monarch''s head was split open, but his mind was unaware of this. Thunderfire covered the beast lord''s body and burned him to a crisp. "ARRRGGGHHHH-!" "Karmic Scale: Final Counter." [You have killed Bronze Dragon King] "Take your damage back, bronze lizard." Huo Yuhaomented and noticed everyone''s gazes were on him. He turned around and saw Dragon Nest''s members standing on the battlefield in a rough condition. They needed more training, but this wasn''t that bad, considering this was their first war/massacre. He can''t me them for getting injured. "Well, I''m not safe either." He touched the already healed, bleeding chest. [You have defeated the sixth beast lord] [Defeat all beast lords of the new continent(6/7)] Huo Yuhao raised Failure to the air and yelled, "This our Dragon Nest victory!" "YEAAAAH!" "WOAAAAAHHHH!" "I''M ALIVE!" Thunderous shouts escaped every Dragon Nest member, making the battlefield tremble in glory. Everyone stared at Huo Yuhao and dered victory upon him. "DRAGON NEST''S VICTORY, TRUE DRAGON KING!" "DRAGON NEST''S VICTORY, TRUE DRAGON KING!" "DRAGON NEST''S VICTORY, TRUE DRAGON KING!" ... ... Under the booming shouts, Huo Yuhao smiled a little behind his White Ogre Mask and said, "Six done, one more left." Chapter 40: Dragon Nest (5/6) Chapter 40: Dragon Nest (5/6) --- Chapter 40 --- West Border, Suma''s Outpost. Huo Yuhao rested on a mattress and stared at the ceiling with a tired look. He was surprised by the Bronze Monarch''s durability in thest fight, considering the rusty-looking dragon resisted quite well against his attacks. Corrosion Energy is also an annoying ability to face off because Huo Yuhao couldn''t let anyone be close to it. Unless he wanted Dragon Nest''s members to be rusty dust, that''s it. He shook his head and closed his eyes, letting High Human''s adaptability take care of his body. ... ... "T-That was unbelievable..." Liu Mei, also known as the Dragon Nest''s secretary and Lightning Demon, said while looking at the destroyed Swamp Land. "How could the young lord create such massive destruction while taking care of the Bronze Monarch straight ahead? Not to mention he pushed away the Corrosion Energy from us." Yun Han chuckled wryly on the side and replied, "You seemed to forget who he was. That brat was the greatest monster on thisnd and True Dragon King of the Dragon Nest." "Be more respectful, Yun Han... He''s our leader, don''t call his majesty "Brat." like that." A solemn-faced manmented while frowning at the former fisherman of the Northern Sea City. This man is one of the Dragon Nest''s higher-ups, Liu Beng. A man in his early thirties with short green hair and a scar mark on his neck. Yun Han shrugged and kept drinking his wine, making Liu Beng annoyed. "Let Elder Han be, brother. The young lord permitted Elder Han to call him like that." Liu Mei smiled weakly. "Ah yes, Beng and his belief, nothing unusual here." A yawn escaped a young-looking kid in his hoodie. "I wanted to sleep, but the rm was going off." Pa! Murong Qianxue suddenly pped the young-looking kid and gently smiled like an ice demon. "Oh, you''re the oldest here, Ji Ma. Act like an adult because your appearance won''t fool anyone here. Also, The young lord is a thousand times more adorable than you." She made everyone around her tremble out of the cold. Ji Ma stuck his tongue out and countered, "Say that to yourself, Qianxue. Act like an adult, not a Shotacon!" "What? No one agrees with me?" The other higher-ups chuckled because Ji Ma used a forbidden word on Murong Qianxue. The woman before them is known as Ice Demoness, and saying something rted to her taste is considered taboo. He was lucky Qianye Ying''er or Huo Yun''er wasn''t here. Murong Qianxue ced her hand on Ji Ma''s shoulders and whispered, "Hey, let''s talk in a more peaceful ce." Zhou Xuan stared at Ji Ma with a pitiful gaze and prayed for this man''s life. Even though Ji Ma was one of the higher-ups, he was also one of the recently recruitedpared to others. He slowly peeked at Ling Ming, who also had the same look. "Rest in peace, shorty." Ling Mingmented while looking away, wiping nonexistent tears from his eyes. Ji Ma''s mouth twitched in annoyance as Murong Qianxue lifted his body in the air. He wanted to nitpick, but the Ice Demoness dragged him somewhere else already, leaving five title doulos above the West Border''s wall. Yun Han sipped his wine and said, "Well, what are we going to do now? Bronze Monarch has died under Yuhao''s hand, and his spirit beast''s army will get wiped to the ground soon." Liu Beng shook his head and replied, "Drunken man like you won''t help anyway. I''ll check the surrounding area." "I''ll go with you!." Zhou Xuan and Ling Ming immediately stared at each other. "Motherfucker! Why did you always copy me?!" "You copied me first, numb nuts!" "These two..." A sigh escaped Liu Beng''s mouth. Liu Mei giggled and told everyone she wanted to report the war casualty to the young lord. "See you guyster." She waved her hand and disappeared with a sh of lightning, having a faint dragon silhouette flying after her. ... ... Scathach danced around the battlefield and massacred thest bit of the Bronze Monarch''s army with her Soul Breaking Spear. She grinned wildly and let blood drench into her battlesuit, feeling the warm sensation seep into her skin. "Universal Breathing Technique." The red tear mark on her cheek grew slightly and covered half of her face, turning into a half-destroyed mask. "Soul Breaking..." "Hmm??" Scathach stopped her spear midway and examined her current condition. She reached over her face and clutched the half-destroyed mask with a confused expression. And feeling something is changing inside her Spirit Circuits. "What''s this sensation? All my strength increased by several folds without getting any buff?" She frowned while examining her condition. Everything seemed okay spiritually and physically, but something was off. Spirit Circuits inherently developed based on the Magic Circuits of her previous world. They created Spirit Circuits toplete the Universal Breathing Technique and increase the efficiency of someone''s growth. "Soul..." Scathach muttered to herself. "Spirit Circuits reside within the Spirit Master''s soul, and the pseudo-nervous system that spreads over one''s body is just a physical expression. That''s why having Magic Circuits broken in my universe was a dead end for Magus." "A technique that makes one''s soul stronger..." She realized something and felt an intense pulse in her chest. "Universal Breathing Technique and Spirit Circuits would turn one''s soul into what the Spirit Master desired." "I have to research this with Yuhaoter." Scathach breathed out and noticed the mask crumbling from her face. She stretched her body and grabbed a handful of stones from her spatial storage. As she threw them away, spirit rings within one hundred meters "somehow." were sucked into them. Rune Stone, it''s an item Scathach and Huo Yuhao developed to store spirit rings. It keeps "Essence." and other things, allowing the Spirit Ring to get absorbed by someone else after a certain period. Scathach waved her hand, and Rune Stones returned to her back slowly. She checked their qualities and nodded because nothing was wrong with the mechanism. She loosened her nerves by breathing and saw two people flying out from her peripheral vision. "Murong Qianxue." "And Ji Ma? What are they doing there?" "Probably just usual stuff." Scathach kicked the ground and returned to the Suma''s Outpost by gliding in the air. She arrived at the Suma''s Outpost and saw Huo Yuhao lying on the ground while Liu Mei gave him a report about the war. Shended on the concrete and alerted both of them. "Wee back, Shishou." Huo Yuhao smiled at her. "How was it, Refreshing?" Scathach smiled back and replied, "Of course. I could never feel better without a battlefield, but Yuhaonium is still the one for me." "Ehem, Teacher Scathach. Please pardon my intrusion, but I haven''t finished my report to the young lord. It will be a problem if he doesn''t know Dragon Nest''s loss and wins so far." Liu Mei cleared her throat. Scathach picked afortable nket in her spatial storage and tied herself with Huo Yuhao in one motion. "Continue, Mei. I''ll also hear your report." She said while hugging her student tightly. "U-Uh, okay." Liu Mei was lost and felt slightly jealous inside. The secretary skillfully exined everything that ensues in the war/massacre against the Bronze Monarch and his spirit beast army. She reported that Dragon Nest doesn''t lose any members, but some people did get injuries, not life-threatening ones. "After the war, we have killed over 169.420 spirit beasts, and the number is still growing.." "As for the loots, Xiao Chen and other Spirit Masters have been dispatched to check the Spirit Beast''s remains. We probably need a few days to sort out Spirit Bones and rare materials." Scathach inhaled deeply and added something to Liu Me''s reports, "I''ve killed a few thousand more in the south. You should send someone there." "Okay." Liu Mei nodded in understanding. Huo Yuhao gave Liu Mei a thankful look and said, "Good Job, Mei. I gave you one week''s holiday after the battlefield cleaning because you deserve it. And tell everyone who contributed to this war to take one Life Force enhancing pill." "Eh? Is it okay?" Liu Mei was shocked because the Life Force enhancing pill was a precious rare medicine that only a few people could get. It''s "precious." because one''s Life Force/Ki and indirectly lifespan increased by consuming it. Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and answered, "Tell Yun Han and Xiao Chen to give everyone one pill. You guys higher-ups could get two." Liu Mei couldn''t describe her overwhelming feeling right now and lowered her head. "T-Thank you, young lord. I''ll tell everyone about this." She responded merrily. As the secretary returned to her ce, Scathach chuckled because the Life Force enhancing pills aren''t precious. Her disciple has a ton of those pills inside his magical storage device, over a billion probably, after synthesizing Senzu Beans with other medicinal ingredients. "How wicked~!" She whispered into Huo Yuhao''s ears. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "What''s wrong with giving my subordinate some small rewards? They will be happy for a while now." ... ... A month passed quickly, and Huo Yuhao was currently in his bedroom. He woke up with a yawn and brushed his long blue hair up. "Hao''er~." "Yuhao~." "Hmm, my disciple~." Huo Yuhao yawned and saw Huo Yun''er, Qianye Ying''er, and Sctahach mumbling on his bed. He smiled weakly and kissed them on the forehead. "Good morning." He said while checking their conditions. "Young lord, emergency!" Liu Mei''s voice echoed in the bedroom. "The Spirit Radar has detected an enormous spirit energying to the Dragon nest." "Well, she takes quite a while to react." Huo Yuhaomented while walking off the bed. He stretched his body slightly and picked up a hoodie from his wardrobe. "Thest beast lord, Auspicious Monarch." Chapter 41: Dragon Nest (6/6) Chapter 41: Dragon Nest (6/6) --- Chapter 41 --- A new continent, a ce far away from the Douluo Continent and hidden with natural tall rock seas around it. It''s a remote ce that shouldn''t get discovered in the current era, but Dragon Nest did anyway. Three years ago, Huo Yuhao used Lace and immediately teleported Dragon Nest to this ce with his spatial maniption and wormholes, bypassing the new continent''s natural protection. And They immediately were greeted with a cold gesture from the Water Behemoth, which is pretty understandable. This ce has seven beast lords and no humans since Spirit Beast killed them all 10.000 years ago. A ce where natural survival of the fittest was set in stone by the lords, separated into seven domains that were roughly bigger than every continent in Huo Yuhao''s previous lifebined. Huo Yuhao has defeated six beast lords after settling down on the new continent for three years. It led thest beast lord, the Auspicious Monarch, to finally find her way to Dragon Nest''snd. This creature is known to be the strongest of the seven beast lords. ... ... Huo Yuhao currently stood on the Dragon Nest''s East Border, Bali''s Outpost. He''s in his ck hoodie, facing the strongest creature on this continent with a smile on his face. No ounce of fear but excitement ising from him. [Name: Auspicious Monarch] [Type: Divine-Blooded Spirit Beast] [Age: 696.696 years old] [Description: Auspicious Beast is a Mythical Qilin that possesses the Divine Blood of all five Auspicious Beasts, having natural power over fundamental elements andws that exceed her ancestors. She was the fated-to-be ultimate creature that stands on the Apex of all Spirit Beasts] The Auspicious Monarch stood before Huo Yuhao. A beautiful horse-looking beast with pure white eyes and majestic green scales all over her body. She possessed a fin on the back of her slender blue-furred legs and a fiery, almost fish-like tail. A pair of majestic ck antlers arose proudly above her mane-covered head, with adorable deer ears twitching because of the morning wind. "Take you quite a while toe here, Auspicious Monarch." Huo Yuhaomented casually. "I thought you wouldn''t ept my invitation after three years. After all, you''re the only one who doesn''t threaten us whening to this continent." The Auspicious Monarch blew the morning wind gently with her puff and stared at Huo Yuhao calmly. She had been watching this very human child for three years, and every single of his actions was bizarre and simply out of the norm. "Human, your actions so far were amazing." She opened her mouth slightly. "This continent was never meant to be discovered until the second wave of god ascended to heaven. My mothers told me to wait and remain alive until the day of freedom fell to this world. They are telling me myths about humans as a creature." "Humans are weak, and that''s a fact, but their potential, emotion, and wickedness are the ones that drove everything beyond others'' expectation. My mothers told me to be wary of everything, especially the greed of humans." "However, I realized greed has different meanings for every living individual. Is it wrong to be greedy, so your family can eat well? Yes, obviously. So your family can eat well, right?" "Is it wrong to be greedy on the path of getting more powerful? Yes, obviously. Still, that greed is the fuel to be stronger than anyone else. An ego that was born inside everyone''s heart, burning with passion and longing for hope." The Auspicious Monarch walked using the air below her feet like a tform and approached Huo Yuhao, staring at the blue-haired teenager with pure white eyes. "Human, your greed is endless. Yet, is that wrong?" Huo Yuhao smirked and replied, "No. My greed is endless, and nothing can change it. After all, I promise to reach the top when I arrive in this world." "Then, let''s have a battle of wits." Thest beast lord continued while closing her eyes. "Using our powers against each other will only destroy this beautifulnd. And I don''t want to see that happen. You can decide the game that favors you." "Oh, Cheating is allowed." "Are you sure?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head in confusion. [Name: Dice] [Type: Extra Skill] [Grade: SSS] [Description: A magical dice that could offset the mortal''s fate and nullifies iing damage when activated. Rolling various numbers would change how much damage was received by the user or even cancel the enemy''s attack] "You''re putting yourself in a bad situation, you know." "Especially against a person like me." [SSS Rank Luck] [Innate Effect: +55% Luck] The Auspicious Monarch nodded and responded, "I have a strong belief in my heart." "Well then." Huo Yuhao amusingly shrugged while lifting his left hand. "Let''s settle this with Rock-Paper Scissors." "This is a simple game where you throw your hand in the shape of a rock, scissors, and paper." "Rock wins over scissors." "Paper wins over rock." "Scissors win over the paper." "When the same hand signal actually was used, it is considered a tie, and y resumes until there is a clear winner. Simple, right?" "The game is simpler than my simple life. But Hand? What a dilemma." The Auspicious Monarch frowned while looking at her front leg. She looked at Huo Yuhao and sighed, releasing a blinding light from her body. Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes slightly and saw a beautiful woman appear before him. She''s over 180 cm with a bountiful body and pale blue-colored hair that fades into a darker shade at the end, in a green-scaled dress with inner stocking-like ck fabric covering her skin. There are antlers on top of her head and adorable deer ears on the side. "I haven''t used this form for 100 years." She opened her eyes unhurriedly, revealing her white-colored pupil with a yellowish shade. "Please bear it for a moment, Human." Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was speechless because this was his first time seeing a spirit beast turning into a human. He knew this was possible as he had also read Douluo Dalu''s series in the past. "Damn..." He mumbled to himself, having an astonished look on his face. The Auspicious Monarch shook her head for a moment and stretched her human body adorably, bouncing some of her assets around cluelessly. Huo Yuhao coughed a few times and looked at her respectfully. After five minutes of stretching, the Auspicious Monarch nodded her head because everything seemed alright. There is nothing wrong with her human form. "Let''s start." She said with a resolution. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Let''s go." [Rolling Dice...] [You have rolled 6] "Rock..." "Paper..." "Scissors!" ... ... Naga''s Den, Huo Yuhao''s house. "And that''s how I got the Auspicious Monarch here." Huo Yuhao said while introducing thest beast lord to his family. He watched their expression turn into a full-blown shock. "Eh?! New cult- I mean member?!" "ANOTHER WOMAN? HAO''ER!" "As expected of my disciple, winning a war with a simple throw of the hand. Truly amazing." Huo Yuhao sat on the sofa and swallowed a porridge made by Huo Yun''er, pouring the motherly breakfast slowly. He nced at the kitchen and saw them confronting the Auspicious Monarch like she was a new kid in the block. "Their reactions are more amazing than mine." Huo Yuhao wrylymented while hearing Evo''s monotonous voice. [Ding! You have finished Absolute Ruler Quest] [Defeat all beast lords on the new continent(7/7)] [Rewarding 7 Gold Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Barrier(S)] "And another one." [Ding! You havepleted Start an Organization Quest] [Built a base(4/1) and have at least 200 loyal subordinates(420.699/200)] [You have exceeded the objection by arge margin...] [Calcting the reward...] [...] [Rewarding 2 tinum Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Training Ground(SSS)] [You have established Dragon Nest as an organization] [Unlocking Sub-System, Dragon Nest''s Management System] "Oh?" Huo Yuhao gazed at the system panel with disbelief as a wall of text rapidly appeared in front of him. He scanned through all of them and dropped his spoon on the floor. "What the fuck..." [Dragon Nest''s Management System] [A Sub-System that allows the host to view Dragon Nest''s progress as well every member''s state, including their possible improvement and inner loyalty toward the organization] [Name: Dragon Nest] [Base: New Continent] [Leader: Huo Yuhao] [Vice Leaders: Huo Yun''er, Qianye Ying''er, Scathach] [Semi-Vice Leaders: Yun Han, Liu Mei, Liu Beng, Murong Qianxue, Ji Ma, Zhou Xuan, Ling Ming] [Members: Xiao Chen, Shen Liu, Goldy, (+420.696...)] Huo Yuhao leaned on the sofa and began tough wildly like a madman. He covered his face while a sense of achievement bloomed in his heart after three years of hard work. "Haa... Naga, I made it." Chapter 42: Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon Chapter 42: Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon --- Chapter 42 --- In a vast white room, Huo Yuhao was lying on the clean paved floor and stared at the white ceiling. He closed his blue eyes and opened them slowly, grasping the surroundings through all his five senses. [Name: tinum Upgrading Ticket] [Type: Upgrading Ticket/System Currency] [Grade: tinum/SSS] [Description: An upgrading ticket with a 97.5% chance to upgrade anything into SSS Grade. And a 2.5% chance to reach EX Grade] "Ex Grade... Something that I haven''t achieved so far." Huo Yuhaomented while staring at the system panel. Even though he knew the tinum Upgrading Ticket allowed him to upgrade anything to a grade beyond SSS Grade, it was still surreal to him. Not to mention having two tinum Upgrading Tickets at his level was possible because of the long pause of Start an Organization''s Quest. He probably won''t get the same ticket soon, considering Evo hasn''t given him any Quest with excessive difficulty. "It''s a small window, but gambling is gambling." Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and decided to check his status panel. He wanted to see any possible perks that are worth to be upgraded with tinum Upgrading Ticket. [Opening Status...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 9] [Race: High Human] [Sub-Races: True Dragon(+), White Tiger(+)] [ss: Assassin, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Archer] [Cultivation Realm: Level 50] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(3+), The Eyes of the Lord(+), Chains of Heaven(4+)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist(S), Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Universal Breathing Technique, Weapon Mastery, Martial Art Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(59), Baruka''s Dagger(A), Failure(S+), White Ogre Mask, Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(111), Bronze(30), Silver(12), Gold(27), tinum(2)] "Well, convert these Upgrading Tickets. I have saved enough in the past three years." He said with a smile. [Converting...] [...] [Upgrading Tickets: Iron(1), Bronze(1), Silver(6), Gold(8), ck Gold(2), tinum(2)] "That''s more like it." Huo Yuhao nodded and started to think deeply about what kind of item or perk he should upgrade with the tinum Upgrading Ticket. There isn''t much choice, to begin with, anyway. After thoroughly examining his status, Huo Yuhao decided to upgrade one thing and saves the other tinum Upgrading Ticket for something else in the future. It''s too precious and such a waste to use it now. "Evo, I choose you." [ess Denied] Evo responded with a monotonous voice. "I knew it... It won''t be that easy to Upgrade you, Evo." A wry smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. "Well, thanks for confirming something for me." "Anyway, Let''s upgrade my SSS Rank Luck." [Using 1 tinum Upgrading Ticket on the SSS Rank Luck] [Upgrading...] [...] [Your SSS Rank Luck upgraded to EX Rank Luck] [Innate Effect: +110% Luck] Huo Yuhao pumped his fist excitedly because he won the 1/40 and suddenly felt a weird sensation on his chest. He huffed and bent his body on the floor, gasping for air. A piercing golden light descended from the sky and hit the Dragon Nest''s rune-based barrier. At Huo Yuhao''s house, Huo Yun''er, Scathach, and the Auspicious Monarch felt this phenomenon and stared at the backyard with a frown on their faces. Something is changing below there, and three of them know "exactly." who caused it. Scathach couldn''t grasp the Luck Concept in the atmosphere, so she could only feel something was changing faintly. Huo Yun''er and the Auspicious Monarch were different because they could, directly or indirectly, manipte the Luck Qi surrounding them. "Hao''er..." Huo Yun''er muttered to herself, seeing golden lightning piercing the backyard. "His luck is increasing again." The Auspicious Monarch said with a speechless look. Even she, a descendant of five auspicious beasts, couldn''t achieve something like this because that would be against thew of nature. "How??" Back to the underground training room, Huo Yuhao groaned and mmed his hand on the floor with an annoyed look. He wanted to curse but held himself down. After being stunned for several minutes, Huo Yuhao sighed with a sweat-filled body. [You have acquired an Extra Skill: High-Roller(S+/Passive)] [Increase the chance of winning an odd by 25%] Huo Yuhao nced at the new skill and sighed because at least somethingpensated him. "Evo, what happened before? I thought you had a protocol that warned me when something wrong was about to happen?" He asked the system. [There is nothing wrong...] Evo answered naturally with the usual dull tone. [Increasing your SSS Rank Luck was indirectly boosting your good karma, and that wasn''t wrong ording to the system protocol, Host] [You might feel a bit ufortable, but your pain resistance should be high enough to endure that] "..." Huo Yuhao was too stunned to speak. He couldn''t help but feel the monotonous sarcasm from Evo, but then the system wasn''t wrong in this scenario. He shook his head and said, "Evo, I don''t feel like arguing with you, so let''s upgrade other things first." [Ok] "Upgrade the 1x Random Barrier Reward(S) with ck Gold Upgrading Ticket. With my current luck, It''s a good thing to upgrade because It can protect the Dragon Nest and external forces from external forces such as an irresponsible group of Gods." [Using 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket on the 1x Random Barrier(S)] [High Roll(Passive) activated] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have acquired 1x Random Barrier(SSS)] [Do you want to open the 1x Random Barrier(SSS) reward?] [Yes/No] "Yes." He replied casually, hoping for a barrier that could even fool God''s Divine Sense. He couldn''t let Tang San meddle with his n before everything was ready. [Opening the 1x Random Barrier(SSS)...] [You have received...] [Absolute Void Curtain(SSS)] Huo Yuhao clicked on the system and read the description with a small smile. "This is it." He sighed in relief because everything would be fine now, as nothing could enter the new continent. [Name: Absolute Void Curtain] [Type: Barrier] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Absolute Void Curtain is a powerful barrier that surrounds a specific area with an imprable curtain made of Refined Void, causing everything within it to be an Independent Dimension. Any attempt to break this barrier would result in a spatial storm that swept over the attacker into nothingness] [Warning! After applying the barrier on the new continent, only people the Dragon Nest''s Management System recognized as members would be allowed to enter and exit] Huo Yuhao grinned indifferently and said, "Dragon Nest currently has 420.700 members after the Auspicious Monarch joined, which means I can finally exterminate those annoying rats from this ce. They have been leeching on my resources for two years." "Evo, open the 1x Random Training Ground(SSS) reward." He continued with a giddy mood. [Opening 1x Random Training Ground(SSS)...] [...] [You have acquired Self-Evolving Dungeon(SSS] "Give me the information." [Name: Self-Evolving Dungeon(SSS)] [Type: Training Ground/Growing Sub-Dimension] [Description: Self-Evolving Dungeon is a Sub-Dimension that keeps evolving based on the environment with innate energy absorption, environment adapting, and a full-functioning life system. This Sub-Dimension also has time dtion that''s slower than the outside world, roughly 1:4, and still growing] [Warning! One hour in the outside world was equal to four hours inside, but that doesn''t mean anyone who entered this Sub-Dimension could stay there forever. Anyone who entered the Self-Evolving Dungeon "strictly." was advised to get out in one month(outside world''s time), or the Sub-Dimension would swallow your essence to the brim, turning you into dungeon soil] "Any other limitation, Evo?" Huo Yuhao asked with a solemn expression. "Since there is a time limit, how long someone needed to enter the Self-Evolving Dungeon again?" [Calcting...] [Roughly one month''s cooldown period] Evo answered after a brief calction. "Four months means 2920 hours inside the dungeon with one month''s cooldown period for each entry. And six months outside equals one year of daily training inside. Well, what a broken training ground for my current level, and Dragon Nest would definitely grow tremendously with it." Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought for a moment. "Since I haven''t entered the dungeon myself, I can''t test the energy level inside because it could be denser and purer than the outside world. Is it possible for the dungeon to spawn Spirit Beast like the monster in RPG dungeons?" [You should check it by yourself, Host] [A reminder from me, since you''re the owner of the Self-Evolving Dungeon, the limitation ced on you is lighter than others] [Do you want to create a connection with a Self-Evolving Dungeon?] [Yes/No] "Obviously, Yes." Huo Yuhao answered while preparing himself for an impact, but nothing wasing toward him. He closed his eyes and noticed the surrounding was changing quickly, turning into a mountainndscape filled with vast forest andke. [You have formed a connection with Self-Evolving Dungeon] [Self-Evolving Dungeon has adapted to your Spirit Energy''s purity, absorbing and evolving based on it] [Every Spirit Beast you have killed so far will get respawned as a monster in the Self-Evolving Dungeon] [Self-Evolving Dungeon has spawned Mountain Ape, Silver Liger, Earth Bear King, Twin-faced Giant, Bronze Dragon...(+100.000)] [Do you want to name the Self-Evolving Dungeon?] Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and stared at the vastnd before him with a surprised look. His mouth was wide open because this ce was roughly the same size as Water Behemoth''s domain and even rger." as there was anothernd beyond this mountain range. "SED? Well, that would be too simple." "Hmm..." "Upgrade, Evo... Advance?" "Whatever, I''ll call the Self-Evolving Dungeon "Advalon." from now on." Huo Yuhao med his bad naming sense and grinned at the sight of his dungeon. "Advalon, you''re going to be one of Dragon Nest''s most important resources!" "Hahaha~!" Chapter 43: Happy Accident? Chapter 43: Happy ident? --- Chapter 43 --- [You have killed Bat-Winged Monkey] [You have killed Thousand-Legged Centipede] [You have killed Mountain Liger] [You have killed...] [You have...] [...] [...] Huo Yuhao ignored Evo''s notifications and quickly swept over a mountain with Extreme Lightning Movement. He lifted Baruka''s Dagger and decided to upgrade it mid-battle with a Gold Upgrading Ticket. [Using 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket on Baruka''s Dagger(A)] "You have served me well, Baruka''s Dagger." Huo Yuhao said with a low tone while dodging a flying rock. "Now, it''s your time to be upgraded like my other items." [High Roller(Passive) activated] [Upgrading...] [...] [You have upgraded Baruka''s Dagger to Ice Elven Queen''s Dagger] Huo Yuhao watched the gleaming-white dagger in his hand be slightly longer with a leaner tip and darker handle. It qualifies as a short sword but maintains the former''s slender quality with an ice-like edge. And the Ice Elven Queen''s Dagger released an intense coldness that made the surrounding temperature drop. [Name: Ice Elven Queen''s Dagger] [Type: Weapon/Dagger] [Grade: S+] [Description: A treasured weapon of the Ice Elven Queen made from the coldest material in the Frost World, carrying a powerful authority over the ice element. And Unlike usual weapons, this dagger was carved utilizing Elven power and blessed ancestral magic to "extremely." lighten one''s weight up] [Innate Effect: +50% Movement Speed and Freezing''s Debuff added when attacking enemy] [Innate Skills: Ice Maniption, Linked Strike, Hyakki''s Presence] "And there she is. You''re more beautiful now." Huo Yuhao smiled and felt his weight lighten up several times, coursing with Ice Element from the dagger itself. His body slowly was covered by a thinyer of ice. "I''ll call you Frost from now on." Huo Yuhao ducked down and moved his gaze to the iing Two-Faced Giant spirit beast. Advalon is a growingnd of opportunity, having nearly endless resources because the ce itself is Self-Evolving based on Huo Yuhao''s surroundings. "This would be my 144th kill, I Guess." He killed over one hundred spirit beasts in the past 30 minutes, and all of them turned into light energy simr to or not close enough to the experience points in the RPG-based game. This energy increases Huo Yuhao''s Spirit Power, but not by much because his overall quality is higher. [Name: Two-Faced Giant] [Type: Spirit Beast/Dungeon Monster] [Age: 30.000 years old] [Description: Two-Faced Giant is a spirit beast with a human-like appearance and enormous muscr physique over 15 meters height, having two faces on the side of its head. It constantly releases a green light that could make one''s fear intensify and stunned on the field for a certain period] Huo Yuhao waved Frost and heard Evo''s notification, rushing toward the Two-Faced Giant with ice elements gathering in the atmosphere. [Assassin ss was in effect] WRYYYYY!!! The giant roared at Huo Yuhao and hit him with intense green light from the four of its eyes. However, the blue-haired teenager clearly was unfazed because such weak intimidation wasn''t enough to scare him. "Get good, bro." Huo Yuhao released his Haoshoku Haki and made the air tremble in terror. "That''s not enough to scare me." He leaped toward the Two-Faced Giant and waved the Frost gently, creating a thin wave of ice in the air. A burst of energy swept over the area and left the spirit beast with a decapitated head. [You have killed Two-Faced Giant] "Well, Frost makes that easier." Huo Yuhao casuallymented while watching the corpse explode into a bunch of white light energy. "Also, I haven''t gotten any spirit bones so far." ck! A skull bone dropped from the decapitated head andnded beside Huo Yuhao. "Nevermind." He said with a weak smile. [Two-Faced Giant''s Skull] [Type: Spirit Bone/Skull] [Age: 30.000] [Description: A skull bone of the Two-Faced Giant, possessing a spirit skill, "Intimidation." that weakens the opponent''s will to fight by 75%] "Not bad. I can reward this to someer." A ck spirit ring emerged from thin air and hovered silently. Huo Yuhao threw the skull and ck spirit ring into his inventory and kept exploring Advalon with the Extreme Lightning Movement, killing a bunch of Spirit Beasts. And he noticed something after a few hours of hunting. There are no 100.000 years old Spirit Beasts. "The oldest spirit beast around is roughly below 70.000 years old, and that''s only applied to boss-like room areas within Advalon''sndscape. Well, it''s fine because Advalon is still evolving anyway." "The danger is close to zero for people like higher-ups of the Dragon Nest and me, but other members would benefit from hunting here a lot. It''s a good training ground." Huo Yuhao pondered for a while and peeked into his messy inventory, seeing a bunch of spirit rings and spirit bones. Spirit Masters from the Douluo Continent would have wide-opened mouths and shocked looks when seeing this scenery. "Ex Rank Luck is a literal godsent." He chuckled while cing Frost into his inventory. "It was the right call to upgrade it with a tinum Upgrading Ticket." "That''s four hours here." Huo Yuhao yawned and continued, "Let''s return and prepare something to eradicate some pests from Dragon Nest." ... ... A white light appeared in the underground training room, and Huo Yuhao walked out of thin air, looking around with a vignt gaze. He shrugged and created a wormhole connected to the backyard because it was convenient. "I''m back." He said while pushing the backdoor, seeing three people waiting for him. "Hmm??" "Why the long face, Shishou?" Scathach crossed her arms below her growing chest and stared at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat solemn look. "What happened down there?" She seriously questioned. "Yeah, I liked to know about that too." The Auspicious Monarch spoke her thoughts. Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and replied, "Let me take a shower first. I''ve been hunting for four hours." "Err, okay?" He disappeared with a lightning sh and entered the bathroom with a relieved expression because none of them followed him there. He was about to close the door and saw Huo Yun''er with a smile waiting inside. "Hehe, I know you''d be here, Hao''er~!" A giggle escaped Huo Yun''er mouth. She has been reading Luck Qi in the atmosphere and noticed most of them ended here. "Good morning, mom." Huo Yuhao smiled at her. "So... Are we going to bathe together?" Huo Yun''er was wrapped in a white towel and had her blonde hair tied in a bun. She stood on the edge of the bathtub with a coy smile. "Of course~!" She winked while walking toward him. Huo Yun''er helped Huo Yuhao remove his training clothes and marveled at every inch of his body. She stared down and licked her lips in excitement a little. Her beloved son cannot be considered normal at a young age. Huo Yuhao smelled the fragrance from Huo Yun''er and grabbed her hand. "Mom, you''re not going to do it now, right?" He asked while staring at her pinkish eyes. "You deserved a better meaningful moment than just doing it in a bathroom, you know." Huo Yuhao was stunned and giggled again, "Mom might be thirsty, but I can hold myself pretty well, Hao''er. And like you said, I won''t do it here~!" "I just wanted to take a bath together with you." "Oh, we ran out of soap..." "Soap..." Huo Yuhao muttered while taking the Heavenly Soap from his inventory. A smooth white bar of soap appeared in his hand. "I have one here, but this thing is too dangerous for normal usage." "It''s just a soap bar, Hao''er. Nothing dangerous about it." Huo Yun''er responded while snatching the Heavenly Soap from his hand. As the soap bar made contact with her skin, it slipped off and fell onto the bathroom floor. "Oh no-? I mean, yes?" "Kyaa~!" Huo Yun''er tried to grab the Heavenly Soap and slipped on the floor, making Huo Yuhao fall onto her breast. Their lips met with each other and nudged passionately. Huo Yuhao explored her mouth for a few minutes and realized their situation. Huo Yun''er hugged Huo Yuhao tightly and melted in his care. It''s just pure kissing with no other touches, but it was so hot. "Hao''er, you''re so bold." Huo Yun''er blushed when parting her lips from Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but chuckle in defeat and grabbed the Heavenly Soap with his left hand, which made him magically slip, and positioned Huo Yun''er on top of him for some reason. "It''s a happy ident..." "Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''er took the lead and kissed Huo Yuhao''s lips again, biting gently onto his nape afterward. "Mhhn~!" "Mom~." After several minutes of intense french-kissing, Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er gasped for air. They stared at each other warmly and heard a sudden knock from someone outside. Knock! Knock~! The Auspicious Monarch knocked and asked, "I noticed an odd change in the naturalw. Are you guys okay there?" "Y-Yeah, we are fine." Huo Yun''er cleared her throat and replied from inside. "Nothing wrong happened here." "Right, Hao''er?" Huo Yuhao nodded and added, "Everything is alright." They stared at each other for a few seconds andughed because the mood "suddenly." was ruined. Huo Yuhao has to admit Heavenly Soap is "extremely." effective and dangerous when used in the bathroom. He can''t imagine bringing this item with anyone but hispanion. "Let me wash your body, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er said with a slight flush. "Sure." Nothing special happened in the bathroom, and Huo Yun''er washed over her son''s back gently, scrubbing every sweat off with Heavenly Soap. Intense yet pleasing pheromones hit Huo Yun''er and made her move more sensual, but that''s it. They ended up in the bathtubs, and Huo Yuhao rested his head lightly on his mother''s soft bosom. "The soap, let''s use it againter." He said, to which Huo Yun''er responded with a nod. "Fufu~ It''s such an amazing item~!" ... ... "Well, let''s talk about the backyard event." Huo Yuhao returned to the living room with a towel on his head. He rubbed his hair gently and sat on the sofa, facing Scathach and Auspicious Monarch. "I''ve discovered a dungeon. It''s tied to me, specifically." He continued, which left Scathach speechless. "Eh?" Even though the God yer and Auspicious Monarch both have the same reaction, Scathach is the only one who knows about Dungeon. "You have a reality marble tied on your soul? How is that possible?" Scathach returned with a frown. Huo Yuhao opened his mouth slowly and replied, "It''s part of my power, Shishou." "Um, what''s the dungeon?" The Auspicious Monarch asked while tilting her head in confusion. "A secret realm with its own natural rules and order. I discovered this ce out of pure luck, and you should have noticed that right away, no?" Huo Yuhao replied because the Auspicious Monarch could read Luck Qi in the air like Huo Yun''er. Huo Yuhao exined Advalon''s existence to them excellently and watched Scathach''s expression change a few times. Well, they are mostly "shocked." and "confused." about this ridiculous event. And he didn''t lie because the Self-Evolving Dungeon literally was obtained randomly out of pure luck. Scathach sighed andmented, "Haa... You''re getting more and more mysterious, Yuhao." "People say that often about me. I''ll take that as apliment from you, Shishou." Huo Yuhao responded with a grin. "Anyway, I''ll introduce Advalon to everyone after cleaning some pests." "Oh, is it time?" Scathach''s red eyes glowed dimly. "It is the same for that, Shishou." The Auspicious Monarch put on a confused look and asked, "What are you two talking about?" "Just a normal house cleaning." Huo Yuhao answered casually. Chapter 44: Cleaning... Chapter 44: Cleaning... --- Chapter 44 --- Dragon Nest. An organization that overrules the new continent far away from the Douluo Continent, having over a hundred thousand members after 3.5 years of rapid progression. Some might think this was slow, and some believed it was too fast, but they grew and evolved tremendously under pressure and only lost in quantity against other factions like the Sun and Moon Empire. However, like any other organization in this universe, Dragon Nest had some pests that leeched off everyone''s effort and hard work without even batting an eye. It''s not really out of the expectation to end like this, considering the organization''s soaring growth speed. It''s partially Huo Yuhao''s fault because he miscalcted Dragon Nest''s recruitment. Since there is no "clear." requirement, Dragon Nest recruited more members than the organization could handle, leading to some people bing entitled to their needs. And these people aren''t just annoying. They are smart enough to hide among Dragon Nest''s members. "They live long enough." Huo Yuhaomented while standing on the Dragon Nest''s headquarters, Trisakti. He watched the main base with his blue eyes and smiled because everything would be over today. A purple sh appeared beside Huo Yuhao, revealing Liu Mei in her usual secretary outfit. She handed a few sheets of paper with people''s names that don''t get recognized by Evo as Dragon Nest''s members. "Young lord." Liu Mei lowered her head politely. "It is the list of people that don''t match your data." Huo Yuhao scanned the papers and muttered, "The number is growing quite a lot. There are 9000 of them now, mostly from the East Coast line, huh? Good job, Mei." "It''s nothing, young lord. I''m surprised that you could find them this way." Liu Mei returned naturally. Higher Ups know about the "Rats." problem within the Dragon Nest, but they can''t solve it pletely." because of the odd rtions among the members. "I just found the solution this morning." Huo Yuhao smiled at her yfully. He exined his brief n to Liu Mei and watched her face turn into a solemn look. Even though Liu Mei didn''t like violence, it was always effective in this situation. "Gather them all on Jaya''s Peak. I''ll be waiting there." "If any of them asked, the reason for the sudden gathering isst month''s reward distribution. You''ll personally give them another Life Force enhancing pill under my order." Liu Mei nodded and replied, "I''ll do it immediately, young lord." She disappeared from her position and left purple lightning behind. Huo Yuhao whistled and created a wormhole to Jaya''s Peak, the highest mountain on the Dragon Nest''s base, in the southern part of the Great Waterfall Mountain Range. Huo Yuhao leaned on the tallest tree and waited for the pest group to enter the predator''s den. He seemed to fall asleep, letting Kenbunshoku Haki take control and overflowing all his senses. It didn''t even take a while as a group of people of various ages arrived at Jaya''s Peak, looking around with confusion because no Liu Mei was weing them. Huo Yuhao nced at them and asked Evo thest question. "Evo, Dragon Nest''s Management System doesn''t consider them members. Why so?" [Exactly 9613 people aren''t considered Dragon Nest''s members because of their characters so far. As you know yourself, the majority of them are nothing but leeches on Dragon Nest''s resources, trying to destroy the organization from the inside] [Do you want me to show their offenses so far?] [3200 of them are rapists, all victims and evidence have been pletely." destroyed before others could discover it] [1002 of them have murdered Dragon Nest''s member under the premise of Spirit Beast''s attack] [4000 of them have deliberately created a conflict among the member to destroy your reputation, which Qianye Ying''er have dealt passively with her influence] [1411 of them have shown hostility toward you before even joining the Dragon Nest] [And finally, All of them have been stealing resources without contributing anything to the Dragon Nest] Evo finished the report with a monotonous tone. ... ... "Haha..." Huo Yuhaoughed in defeat because there were some crimes he didn''t know about until today. He sighed because he was such a horrible leader, but part of him realized this wouldn''t happen with a strict recruitment policy. A simple character check should be enough to determine one''s quality, but he was busy making this organization grow. Since He was reincarnated as Huo Yuhao and epted Evo as his system, Huo Yuhao always thought he could achieve more things because Upgrade Function gave him a wide variety yet almost infinite possibilities. And He failed to realize when establishing a big organization like Dragon Nest, the lives of others be part of his responsibility. Huo Yuhao remembered Naga once told him a story about a random event and ended with, "You know, Yuhao... You''re too mature for your "Own." good. I know your soul is older, but that doesn''t change anything because kids should act like a kid sometimes. " "How old are you again? 29? Yeah, that''s fucking youngpared to me." "When you decide to make a group, remember to name it Dragon Nest and treat your subordinate well because even with the weakest push, they could make you achieve something higher." "Oh yeah, where am I again? Ah, let''s continue the story of the amazing Poke-Champion, Naga. When this great me was on the chunin exam-." The annoying dragon ended his advice abruptly, which caused Huo Yuhao to smirk. "Emotional, huh?" Huo Yuhao suddenly summoned the Chain of the Heavens and created a barrier around Jaya''s Peak. He jumped down from the tallest tree and alerted everyone on the ground. "Young lord?" "What''s he doing here??!" "Oh my god!" "Did he find out already?" "Bruh, run!" "Tch, the tyrant is here." Huo Yuhao stared at them and indifferentlymented, "Don''t even think about running away, you pests. I''m here to wipe all of you from Dragon Nest." "Huh??!" They were shocked when hearing Huo Yuhao''s statement and felt enormous pressureing from him. Some immediately tried to run away from the Jaya''s peak, but Huo Yuhao ced over 50 Sakura Sealing Arrays around this ce. Their only option is to fight him until the end. "Bronzy,e out." Huo Yuhao''s shadow expanded and stretched into a dragon-like shape. ROAR! The Bronze Monarch''s Shadow roared on Jaya''s peak and looked down on the pest. He stood behind Huo Yuhao and released a faint bronze-colored hue. "Pests should die..." A predator growl escaped the dragon''s shadowy mouth. Huo Yuhao pulled Failure from his inventory and gently smiled at them. "What are you going to do now?" He asked them casually. "Y-You can''t do this to us!" "Other members won''t agree with your action." "The higher-ups. Yes, the higher-ups would be here any moment and stop you." (An: Gore''s Warning?) "PFft... HAHAHA. That sound so funny." Huo Yuhao''s smile bes a wide maniacal grin. "DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY COULD STOP ME?" "BOLD FOR YOU TO ASSUME THEY COULD EVEN LAND A SCRATCH ON ME." "WHO DO YOU THINK AM I??" Huo Yuhao skipped through the crowd and gripped the guy''s neck with Demonic Chang. His sheer strength alone has shattered the guy''s bone. "Who do you think Am I?" He stared at the person''s eyes indifferently. "Who is the leader of this fucking organization, bitch?!" Putra''s personality resurfaced when Huo Yuhao was agitated and left everyone speechless because the teenager''s charisma abruptly was reced with pure wildness. He crushed the person''s neck and stared at the other with a cold gaze. His dim blue eyes shone with no sense of emotions and sent a shiver down their spines. [You have killed a traitor...] Evo announced naturally. Huo Yuhao dragged Failure and sliced the nearest person into a bloody mess, hearing Evo''s notification again. "I forgot the fresh blood was warm..." [You have killed a traitor...] "Like a warm shower in the morning." [You have killed a traitor...] "Killing you guys." [You have killed a traitor...] "Eh, you''re a rapist? Then die." [You have killed a traitor...] "What, you hate me? Then die too." [You have killed a traitor...] "Come here, bitch. Do you think I care about your gender?? Fuck that! This sword is rated E for everyone." [You have killed a traitor...] "No, take this on your old spine. Here, I''ll help you cut it into pieces." [You have killed a traitor...] "I''m insane? Meh, that''s your feeling." [You have killed a traitor...] "What? You don''t want to die? Bro, are you serious?" [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed...] [You have...] [You...] [...] [...] Huo Yuhao swept over Jaya''s Peak with bloody carnage and killed every traitor without batting an eye. He swung Failure many times and didn''t lose a single count because they were dead with one sh. "6969th... Oh, you''re lucky." Huo Yuhao stopped in front of a young woman with Karen''s haircut. He ced Failure''s edge near her face and chuckled slightly. "T-Then, will you spare me?" She asked while trembling on the ground. "I-I''ll do anything, young lord. PLEASE, I''ll serve you forever!" Huo Yuhao stared at her frightened face and asked, "Aww, Anything." "Here... French kiss, my greatsword." The woman''s face was sliced by Failure, causing a limp body to fall on the ground. Her lips french-kissed the greatsword''s edge intensely, and she died. "Aih, that''s Failure''s first kiss. What a waste." Huo Yuhaomented indifferently. "Hmm? Don''t worry. You guys would get your turn." He turned around and saw the rest of the pests watching him with horror on their faces. He began to kill them slowly with a maniacal method one could imagine. [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed a traitor...] [You have killed...] [You have...] [You...] [...] [...] . . Evo''s notifications have be white noise in Huo Yuhao''s head. His entire body thoroughly was drenched with blood and dirt from smashing the ground a few times. He stopped beside thest pest, a white-haired woman in herte thirties. "Phew, that was tiring." He sat beside her casually. The woman trembled and opened her mouth, "Y-You monster... How could you do something like this? Are you even human?!" "MONSTER!" "YOU''RE A MURDERER!" "A FUCKING MONSTER WHO MURDERED PEOPLE!!" [Name: Tang Wu''er] [Age: 37] [Race: Human] [Body Counts: 300] [Description: A hypocritical drama queen] Huo Yuhao grabbed her chin andmented, "You say a lot for a person with 300 body counts. Woman, do you think this world is unfair." "Yes, it''s FUCKING unfair." "I killed people and bore the sin myself. What about you? Did you ever feel guilty?" He approached her frightened face and stared her dead in the eyes. "I-I have never killed anyone-!" "ARRRRGGGGHHHH!" A purple me covered the woman''s head and burned her into ash. However, it doesn''t kill her instantly because Thunderme would burn even more ording to one''s karma. Chaotic Purgatory Dragon isn''t just a title. [You have killed a traitor] "9613..." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief. He seemed to lose his vision and felt some people hugging him. "It''s okay now. Mom is here." A gentle whisper entered his ears. "Mhm, everything will be alright, my lord." Another familiar voice assured him from the right. "Sleep, Yuhao. I''ll handle the rest." Amanding yet worried voice echoed. Huo Yuhao gradually melted into Huo Yun''er warm hug and fainted because of the excessive usage of Spiritual Energy. He has been manifesting Haoshoku Haki in the form of fear to every traitor and makes feel dread thates from his willpower. It''s a pure spiritual attack that could make one''s mind go crazy by merely making contact with it. "Everything will be okay, Hao''er/Yuhao/My Disciple." "Good night..." Huo Yuhao muttered while closing his eyes. Chapter 45: Huang Yuna Chapter 45: Huang Yuna --- Chapter 45 --- After the cleaning day, Dragon Nest''s mood bes much better than before. Scathach revealed that Huo Yuhao killed the traitor''s group on Jaya''s Peak and took over the security system within the base. Everyone was shocked, but the horrible deeds of the traitors made everything easier to exin. There is no such thing as a protest because the higher-ups have dealt with it based on Huo Yuhao''s judgment beforehand. He was all prepared and ended in a better light than the traitor, which was so clear with Qianye Ying''er influence. Qianye Ying''er has organized everything for this moment because as soon as Huo Yuhao made a move on the traitor, her Fanclub/Cult began their n. Huo Yun''er watched over the Dragon Nest''s Luck Qi and noticed the "great." changes after Huo Yuhao''s action. Since the pest cleansed off the organization, a more excellent Luck Qi started to grow on thend. ... ... Main Base, Naga''s Den. At Huo Yuhao''s house, Huo Yun''er sat in the living room with a cup of tea. She nced at Qianye Ying''er and Scathach that just returned a few minutes ago. It''s not hard to notice something wrong. "How is the public reaction?" Huo Yun''er asked while sipping her tea. Qianye Ying''er smiled slightly and replied, "Well, everything is ording to my n. Even though some people are skeptical, they can''t really fight the truth with evidence. Yuhao has been doing so many things in the past 3.5 years, making most of them worried about his current condition." "Liu Mei would deal with the rest. We had to wait for them to realize those pests'' bad deeds on Dragon Nest so far because Tang Wu''er has created some influence on the normal member." "The reaction will be better soon." Scathach continued while sitting on the sofa. "Even though Tang Wu''er was a wolf in the sheep crowd, some sheep could easily tell something was wrong with her. It would grow into one united view against her in the end." "And it''s not like she can return to the living world to prove her point." She sneered indifferently. The Auspicious Monarch walked into the living room and made everyone look at her. She shook her a little and took over the couch near Scathach. "Yuhao''s condition is better now. It''s just excessive usage of his willpower." She stated, which caused them to be relieved. "That''s why I can''t heal Hao''er with my spiritual energy." Huo Yun''er sighed while closing her eyes. "Haoshoku Haki, an extreme manifestation of one''s willpower. It''s such a terrifying method to utilize spiritual energy because you don''t just control it. You expressed your influence over others with it." "Haoshoku Haki?" The Auspicious Monarch tilted her head adorably to the left slightly. She was confused because she had never heard such a term in her entire life. Scathach opened her mouth and exined, "Haki is Dragon Nest''s spiritual energy training method passed down by Huo Yuhao. It''s branched to three fields, Kenbunshoku(Observation), Busoshoku(Armament), and Haoshoku(Conqueror)." "Most people could only train Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku, leaving Haoshoku Haki alone because this type of Haki has a different requirement." "One had to possess the qualities of a king." "Qualities of a king..." The Auspicious Monarch muttered while looking at them with a frown. She noticed faint spiritual energying out from thesedies'' bodies. "All of you possess it?" Qianye Ying''er giggled and replied, "Yup. It''s rare, but some people in the Dragon Nest possess Haoshoku Haki. However, our Haoshoku Haki is weaker and different than Yuhao because his qualities are higher than all of usbined." "My body "always." shivered when having contact with Yuhao''s Haoshoku Haki. It''s not just powerful, but also tramples over weak will like sea waves." The Auspicious Monarch was quiet when hearing such a statement from Qianye Ying''er. She has never heard of such a bizarre way to train one''s spiritual energy and has to be born with it. The qualities of a king aren''t a foreign subject to her because she was also born with them, but it seemed to be different in their cases. ''No, this is why I can''t see Huo Yuhao''s mystery. There is always a thick mist that resists my divine eyes.'' She thought to herself after observing Huo Yuhao for three years. "Well, He''s our King." Scathachstly added with a chuckle, to which everyone agreed immediately. ... ... A month passed, and Huo Yuhao finally awakened from his deep slumber. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and revealed royal blue eyes that shone with golden hues dimly. He breathed in and out, sucking the spirit energy into the atmosphere. "Haki..." Huo Yuhao''s mind ran faster than usual, which increased his perception of the surroundings. He looked around slowly and immersed himself in this odd condition. [Haki] [Kenbunshoku Haki: SSS+ Rank] [Busoshoku Haki: SSS+ Rank] [Haoshoku Haki: EX Rank] [Your Spiritual Energy has evolved to Spiritual Sea] [You have obtained the Supreme King''s Presence] [You have acquired the Lesser Divine Sense] [You have unlocked the Voice of All Things] "How long have I been sleeping, Evo?" Huo Yuhao massaged his forehead for a moment and heard Evo''s notification. He frowned and scanned the system panel with a weird look on his face. [30 days and 6 hours] Evo answered with the usual dull tone. Heughed weakly andmented, "That''s longer than I assumed. Thest thing I remember was mom, Ying''er, and Shishou''s voices." Huo Yuhao unhurriedly sat on the bed and saw some medicinal incense on the desk. "Thank you, Ying''er." He chuckled and meditated while entering his Spiritual Sea. It was a vast white sea filled with Spiritual Energy and at least denser than usual, causing him to feel at ease just by seeing it. After a few minutes, Huo Yuhao adjusted his thought and slowed it down to normal. His perception was abnormal since waking up, and he couldn''t control it very well. It''s not that bad because some problems that annoyed him before seemed to be easier to solve now, but adapting to it would take quite a while. Huo Yuhao suddenly was awakened by several voices that entered his mind and frowned because the Voice of All things seemed to be on passively. He could hear white noises from inanimate objects, which was bizarre. [Name: Voice of All Things] [Type: Innate Skill] [Grade: SSS] [Description: The Voice of All Things is a "mysterious." and excessively "rare." ability that allows one tomunicate with people, creatures, and objects in the world around them without the need for a physical message, such as speech or writing] [The Voice of All Things shouldn''t be mistaken for the innate ability to understand animalmunication. It''s more like hearing the animals'' thoughts or understanding the message in their heart. It''s somewhat like Telepathy] Huo Yuhao returned to the real world and picked out Frost from the Inventory. He could hear faint noises from the dagger and smiled because Frost was worried about his condition. "Thank you for worrying about me." He replied while brushing the edge gently. The Ice Elven Queen''s Dagger released a faint blue light that seemed to respond to Huo Yuhao''s replies, thus making him chuckle amusingly for a moment. Such ability and experience. "What about the other perks? Like Lesser Divine Sense?" [Name: Lesser Divine Sense] [Type: Spiritual Technique] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Lesser Divine Sense is an ability to perceive the world around you. It doesn''t consume spiritual energy and has a wide rangepared to Kenbunshoku Haki] Huo Yuhao activated his Kenbunshoku Haki, which caused an enormous amount of information to flood his mind. The ability to observe has reached the whole continent''s range and to the "extreme details." as well, leaving him speechless. "Young lord, when will you return?" A familiar voice from one''s heartes to Huo Yuhao. "Boss, please get well soon." "Brat, I don''t have enough booze here. Help~!" "My lord~!" "Young master Yuhao." "Hao''er is awake~?!" "Hmm? My disciple is awake already." "Human, you''re awake." The Auspicious Monarch entered the room with a tray filled with a ginger-like smell. She approached a cup of medicinal brew on the table and sat on the chair beside Huo Yuhao''s bed. "Yeah." Huo Yuhao replied naturally. "Good, drink this. Ying''er made it for you." She added while pushing the cup at Huo Yuhao. [Name: Herb Brew] [Type: Medicine] [Grade: S] [Description: A warm and delicious Herb Brew made of several rare herbs and ingredients. It could support and strengthen one''s physical condition through daily consumption] Huo Yuhao grasped the cup and felt the warmth from the outeryer. He drank the Herb Brew slowly and ced the cup back on the table a few secondster. That was great medicine for him because he hadn''t moved much for a month. "Ah, You never told me your name, Auspicious Monarch?" He suddenly asked, which caused the beast lord to giggle a little. The Auspicious Monarch amusingly shook her head at Huo Yuhao and replied, "You''re a monthte to ask that question. Well, betterte than never." "My name is Yuna." She continued while crossing her arms. "Huang Yuna, to be exact, the Descendant of Five Auspicious Beasts." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and returned, "It''s such a coincidence that our family name and given name started with the same letters." "Anyway, nice to meet you, Yuna." "Let''s get along well from now on." "Likewise, Yuhao." Huang Yuna smiled back at him. Chapter 46: Three years Chapter 46: Three years --- Chapter 46 --- Three years passed quickly. Dragon Nest has grown tremendously and expanded its influence on the Douluo Continent, dering its existence to the major factions. It caused chaos and confusion because no one could have predicted or known Dragon Nest''s origin. This organization has been growing and hiding in the shadows without anyone noticing. A massive piece of purplish-ck metal orbited around the Douluo and floated for a few minutes. It transformed into a needle-like shape by releasing intense heat and creating a protective energy barrier. [G-Reactors usage 0.1111% and operating properly] A monotonous female voice echoed. [Energy Conversion from the Sun''s Radiation stayed at 300% and thoroughly umted in the G-Fuel''s External Storage System] [Deploying Stealth Barrier...] [Calibrating Ratatoskr''s Interster Satellite Unit on the Douluo''s space domain] [Marking the Douluo''s Surface with Spirit Radar...] [Douluo Continent: Shrek Academy, Sun and Moon Empire, Star Luo Empire, Heaven Spirit Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and Holy Spirit Cult havepletely marked] [Preparing for Master''s Order...] [Elsha''s Shell recharged] [Altair''s Shell recharged] [Vero''s Shell recharged] [Bastet''s Shell recharged] [Iris''s Shell recharged] [GIANA have finished Master''s orders] [Returning to Trisakti...] A sh of signal escaped the invisible satellite station and pierced the atmosphere instantly, reaching a deep ocean where a blinking red light monolith stood firmly on the seafloor. The signal transferred to the Dragon Nest''s Headquarters, or more precisely, under the towering building where a ck box filled with millions ofpressed mechanical circuits running at the inhuman rate possible. A ck-haired woman with some purple shades appeared in her ck floral gown. She seemed to be a holographic entity and walked out of the ck box like it was its manifestation. This beautiful woman is an Artificial Intelligence Huo Yuhao created two years ago when he received Techno Master ss. Giana or Girl Is Adorable, Not Artificial was Artificial Intelligence with an inhuman extreme precision calction based on Lace Demon. Technomaster''s ss allowed Huo Yuhao to create aplex program that mimics the nature and information of an individual, which he abused to develop a copy of himself. Yet, like every scientist''s first creation, Huo Yuhao''s mimic program caused a new variable that made Giana view herself as Huo Yuhao''s creation and younger sibling. Giana walked into a silent corridor and grasped a metallic cube near her core. As the metallic cube reacted with Giana''s neo-electrical signal, it expanded into a beautiful human-like doll vessel for her. "G-Vibranium Vessel activated." She said while entering the vessel. The doll''s blue eyes opened slowly and revealed an almost human-like characteristic besides the neon hue. Giana was currently standing over 169 centimeters with mid-length ck hair with some purple shades. Her curvy vessel "beautifully." was covered with a half-revealing gown that hugged some assets while revealing her creamy midriff. "Phew~!" Giana sighed in relief. "This is morefortable while twirling around the corridor." She swiped her hand in the air and summoned a blue interface made of light that regtes Trisakti''s Building. She clicked some buttons and lightened her bedroom with purple neon light. "It''s better now." She smiled while walking out of the corridor and entering a lift to the ground level. "Good morning, Giana." Liu Mei greeted her with a smile and a cup of warm coffee in her hand. The Dragon Nest''s secretary was in her usual outfit and had her dark-purple hair tied in a ponytail. Oh, she also has a hair essory with oni''s horn shape. Giana smiled back at Liu Mei and replied, "Morning, Big sister Mei~! Coffee, again? Too much caffeine isn''t good for your heart, you know." Liu Mei couldn''t help but chuckle when hearing Giana''sment about her Coffee Addiction. And it''s not like caffeine would do anything to her heart because it is "strong." bio-electricity kept running inside her body and eliminating harmful substances constantly, which her Martial Soul''s doing since absorbing 1st Spirit Ring. The Dragon Nest''s Secretary, or everyone known as the Queen of Thunder, was one of the seven higher-ups in the organization, possessing Thunder Demon''s Martial Soul that maniptes extremely-powered electricity that could burn anyone below Title Douluo Realm to death effortlessly. Her overall strength was "easily." in the Top 7 within the Dragon Nestmunity. [Name: Liu Mei] [Title: Queen of Thunder] [Cultivation: Level 95(Hyper Douluo)] [Martial Soul: Thunder Demon Empress] [Power Level: Level 98] Giana peeked at Liu Mei''s ssified information andmented on her current underwear, "Heh, You wore purple again today, Big sister Mei. Master would return from Advalon today, so you want to seduce him again~?" Liu Mei blushed slightly and cleared her throat because Giana somehow hit the spot. "I-I don''t know what you''re talking about, girl." She replied while sipping her coffee. "Hehehe~!" A giggle escaped Giana''s mouth. ... ... Advalon. This ce is known as one of the Dragon Nest''s most renowned resources. It provided the organization with a suitable ce to train that possesses denser yet richer spirit energy. And a nearly endless amount of Spirit Ring and Spirit Bones without concern about Spirit Beast''s extinction. Dragon Nest''s members are required to have a Dungeon Key to enter Advalon. It was a dragon-shaped bracelet with point-recording and teleportation runes embedded inside it, having five different levels ording to how long one could stay inside Advalon. White Dungeon Key allowed one to stay inside for three days. Yellow Dungeon Key allowed one to stay inside for seven days. Purple Dungeon Key allowed one to stay inside for ten days. ck Dungeon Key allowed one to stay inside for fourteen days. Andstly, the Red Dungeon key allowed one to stay inside for 28 days. Dungeon Key is also usable in other Training Grounds and ces like Domain Field Training Ground on Sumeru''s Mountain, where Dragon Nest''s members could temper their physical strength and spirits with the help of natural gravitational pull from Moon Monolith. Dungeon Key strictly was provided to Dragon Nest''s members based on their contribution credits to the organization, which means they have to take a quest from the Dragon Nest''s Headquarters. It applies to all adult civilians besides children and students of Dragon Nest''s academy because they used School Points to ess Dungeon Key and other training facilities. As long as they showed reasonable progress and talent, they could ess every training ground below ck Level. And another exception to this rule is White Room''s Students. White Room''s Students were allowed to ess every needed resource and training ground below Red Level without any supervision. As White Room''s students are monsters and the future pirs birthed by Dragon Nest, they are even allowed to ask for higher-ups'' teachings and escort them inside Advalon. There are currently only Seven Youngsters qualified to be in the White Room. They are well-known among the Dragon Nestmunity and envied by Dragon Nest''s Academy students because of their privileges, which led to a pretty "hefty." rivalry between both divisions. White Room''s Division consists of three male and four female students. Each of them possessed unique talents in "certain." fields, a strong martial soul, a gifted physique, and the quality of a genius. And an enormous potential to be Title Douluo before twenty-two years old. They are the peak of humanity in this era. Advalon, Red-Leveled Domain. Inside a domain surrounded by red barriers, Scathach stood in the middle of t ground with seven youths from White Room Division. Even though they are around 13-15, their statures and build are no different than adults. Some even exceeded normal adults. Meanwhile, Scathach has grown into a beautiful young woman with ironically taller height and "bigger." assets than her former self. She''s over 180 centimeters with silky purple hair braided to her back. And her body matured even more after living in this world for 6.5 years, developing a pair of Double D-Cups chest and impressively toned thighs. The warrior-queen currently modeled a stylish purplish-ck tracksuit with Dragon Nest''s symbol on the back. This set of training clothes, "seemingly." was created using synthesized materials that could withstand Title Douluo''s attack a few times and was enchanted with several restriction runes to intensify her training. Scathach called Soul Breaking Spear with seven spirit rings and stared at the White Room''s Students. "Let''s see all of your progress today." She said with a stern expression. "Lin Yan, Present! I''ll go first, teacher." A young man with a half-burned face. He has umon hair split between white and ck. He walked toward Scathach and summoned his martial soul, making five spirit ring burst out of the ground. Scathachughed when hearing this and replied, "When I said all of you. I wanted to see all of you fight me simultaneously." Her statement makes the White Room''s students frown at each other because Scathach is known as the Demonic Teacher within the Dragon Nest Community. And It was "normal." for her to beat them to a dying state was expected of them. "I won''t wait forever here," Scathach added while furnishing the Soul Breaking Spear with Busoshoku Haki. "Dodge, or you''ll be sent to the hospital instantly." Lin Yan''s eyes widened because Scathach suddenly appeared before his eyes. He breathed in and triggered the Spirit Circuits inside his body, boosting his sense to feel her attack. A brown-looking hue covered his skin and focused on the chest area. BOOM! Scathach seriously smashed Lin Yan''s chest with the back of Soul Breaking Spear and sent the poor young man flying to the sky. She was about to finish him off, but a young woman with short green hair appeared out of thin air and disturbed her. "L." The corner of Scathach''s eyes narrowed a little. The young woman named L smiled at Scathach and brought out a dagger made of bone. She shed the air and created a vacuum space between them. "Hehe~." She cheekily giggled and winked while disappearing again. Scathach casually pped the vacuum space with her spear and quickly grabbed L''s cor, smashing the young woman to the ground without remorse. BOOM! CRACK! COUGH! "Damn-!" L coughed a mouthful of blood and waved her hand to teleport herself away from Scathach. Scathach rotated the Soul Breaking Spear and was ready to throw it somewhere. Her Kenbunshoku Haki covered the whole area and waited for the green-haired young woman to appear. "Where are you going, L." She said indifferently. L appeared fifteen meters from Scathach''s position, but the Soul Breaking Spear was already in front of her face. She genuinely was caught off guard and inclined to create a spatial barrier. "You''re reckless as fuck." Another young woman appeared and kicked L away, allowing the green-hairedss to dodge Soul Breaking Spear. L fell with her face nted on the ground first and painfully groaned, "Kuugh, good assist. Ka." Ka is a young woman with short yellowish-blonde hair that reaches her pale neck and red eyes. She was L''s biological older sister with a faint resemnce, which was their eyes. "Don''t talk in the middle of the fight." Scathach appeared and grabbed the thrown Soul Breaking Spear, akin to instant teleportation. She punched Ka on the stomach and stomped L with her leg. BOOM! "Freeze." Ka''s red eyes shone with a dim green light. The time around them became slower, and Ka minimized the iing damage by shifting her body a little. She noticed Scathach''s speed returning to normal and activated other spirit skills. "el." BAAM! Scathach punch made contact with Ka''s stomach, but it suddenly brushed away. "Oh?" She reacted while pining the green-haired young woman below her shoes. "It''s ridiculous." Ka gritted her teeth and saw a portion of her stomach bleeding. Even though she wore the same tracksuit as Scathach, the warrior queen''s fist was still able to injure her. "Come on, don''t be shy. L, You can teleport out of this situation, right?" Scathach warmly smiled at her, increasing the force on her legs. Crack! "NOOOOO~!" L noticed her spatial barrier cracked under Scathach''s shoes. "Teacher, you''re a bully~!!" Everyone was speechless and saw L teleported herself behind a young man with a straitced expression. He was observing his fellow White Room student from afar, but now Scathach had her attention on him. L ced her hand firmly on the young man''s shoulders and teased, "Hehe, sorry! Tank Teacher''s attention for me, Akira~!" Akira was a young man with a "refined physique." He''s over 180 and has unkempt brown hair, having a disbelief yet enraged expression because of L''s acts. "L, you MOTHERFUCKER-!" He cursed while fuming a little. "EEEHHH~, I didn''t visit your momst night!" L returned with a shocked expression. She saw Scathach in the distance and teleported away. "By the way, BYEE~!!" Akira blinked and activated his martial soul plus Busoshoku Haki out of instinct. His Kenbunshoku Haki couldn''t detect Scathach''s movement because she was too fast, which led to a ck diamond-like shine covering his body and bouncing Scathach''s attack. BAM! CLANK! "Not bad," Scathachmented while pulling Soul Breaking Spear back. She twirled the shaft and gathered more force by vibrating the whole spear. "But not enough." She thrust the spear into Akira''s chest and watched their Hakis sh violently, creating an odd spiritual spark in the air. And Scathach is obviously the stronger one in this scenario. Her spear blew Akira''s defense away and pushed him several meters away. Akira coughed blood and mumbled, "Diamond Vajra Body was useless against the powerful Busoshoku Haki. I needed some people to weaken her while I tanked the frontal attack. L knew about this and nned something." Lin Yan suddenly descended from the sky with a giant piece of wood in his hand. "HardWood Cudgel: Great Monkey Sage''s Transformation." His weird-colored mix of hair merged into gray and spread all over his body, revealing a half-transforming humanoid monkey. "All or Nothing." The wood expanded up to a hundred meters and covered the skies. Lin Yan roared and smashed the Wood Cudgel onto the field, causing air pressure to force everyone. Scathach pierced Soul Breaking Spear on the ground and stared at the Busoshoku Haki-coated wood without worry. Her first spirit ring lightens up and releases ominous energy to the surrounding. "Here-!" Scathach was about to throw the Soul Breaking Spear again. Then, she realized Akira, Ka, and L had disappeared from his field vision. A familiar-looking youngdy with clear blonde hair and a pure-like appearance stood a few meters away from her. She has such an angelic presence and warmest amethyst-colored eyes, but Scathach''s instinct felt something was off. "Ying''er." "Holy Field." A light barrier covered the whole area and trapped Scathach from going everywhere but above. Qianye Ying''er held her battle g firmly, and six spirit rings floated behind her. Scathach was left with no choice and grinned because L seemed to predict this from the beginning. Yes, why did the most gifted White Room student with Kenbunshoku Haki attack her in such a frontal way? "Holy Barrier is a self-created spirit skill that traps a target under extreme holy light. And usually, one can''t escape it without having enough power to break it." She stared at Qianye Ying''er. "However, to fully control me. You have to add more restrictions because Holy Barrier couldn''t hold me for too long, which left me with thest two students of White Room''s division." "Shen Xi and Chen Fan." "As expected, the teacher can feel something was wrong within a few moments." A white-haired young woman with dragon-like green eyes emerged out of the shadow and approached Scathach with incredible speed. Her figure passed through space and reached the warrior queen quickly. "You can''t throw your spear in that form." "Nice observation, Shen Xi." Scathach chuckled because Shen Xi was right. "But you know I have more than one arm, right?" Shen Xiunched an intense pink light from her palm and clenched a firm fist to attack Scathach. "Of course, that''s why I have backups." She replied naturally. "Universal Breathing Technique." A young man with wild red hair appeared with a zing sword. He was no more than 170 cm in height, with refined muscle under his clothes and thick-looking arms. "First Move: sh Steps." "Third Move: Burning Sky and Rain." L and Ka appeared five meters away from them and used Spirit Fusion''s ability, making a beautiful peacock and tinum-scaled crocodile appear out of thin air. The beast merged with each and created a beastly woman with peacock wings and tinum-colored armor. "Time and Space''s Squall." A melodious voicees out of the beastly woman. Scathach frowned and felt her entire body stop, lifting a single finger out of the question for her now. Akira angrily roared because L used him and charged toward Scathach like a furious boar. "FUCK YOU, LOLA!" An image of a giant boar manifested from Akira''s body, charging toward Scathach with an unstoppable force. ... "Well done," Scathachmented while trapped by a twoyered barrier and four iing attacks. She couldn''t move or counter their attacks with restriction rune seals on her body and clothes. "You guys can defeat me with ten seals on." "Then, let''s lift one seal off." Her voice cracked under the barrier and left everyone in absolute terror. And L was the first to shout about this unfairness. "NOOOOOOOOOO-!!!" BOOM! Scathach lifted one of her power seals and disappeared from everyone''s view. They could only perceive a terrifying red light and dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes, groaning in pain. "Good job, ss. All of you can survive in the real world for a few minutes now with those skills and teamwork. And remember that individual strength is more important. Trusting yourself first is the key." She said with heavy sarcasm. "Ugh... Why am I here? Just to suffer." L grumbled on the ground. "Also, just how powerful are you with all seals lifted off, teacher?" "Honestly, I don''t know," Scathach replied while shrugging her shoulders. "I haven''t used my full strength since the war against the Bronze Monarch and his army." "And Yuhao never goes all out on me." ''He will... on the bed.'' Qianye Ying''er rolled her eyes in disbelief when hearing Scathach''s statement. She had seen Scathach and Huo Yuhao spar, and it was batshit insane for everyone who witnessed it. "They destroyed a small continent after fighting for a whole month..." L tilted her head and asked, "Hmm?? Did you something, Ying''er?" Qianye Ying''er smiled and replied, "Nothing." ... ... Advalon, Red-Leveled Domain. On the cloud. "They are lively and abnormal. Forcing Scathach to lift her first seal. That''s quite an amazing achievement." Huang Yuna said while watching Scathach and White Room students from the clouds. She nced at the handsome blue-haired young man beside her. "They are Dragon Nest''s future pirs, so forcing Shishou to lift her first seal is the bare minimum." Huo Yuhao yawned casually. "It''s been six years, huh? Time flies quite fast." Yuna noticed a weird sentiment in Huo Yuhao and asked, "The n, are you going to Douluo Continent?" Huo Yuhao grinned and answered, "Obviously." "I made a promise with someone there." Chapter 47: Auction? Chapter 47: Auction? --- Chapter 47 --- Huo Yuhao rested his head on the cloud and told Evo to open his status panel through their Soul Link. And a digital screen filled with remarks and digits appeared before his blue eyes. [Opening Status...] [Status] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 12] [Race: Ancient Human] [Sub-Races: Divine Dragon(+), War Beast(+)] [ss: Dawn Bringer, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Silver Ranger, Techno Master] [Cultivation Realm: Level 79/Spirit Sage] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(5+), The Eyes of the Lord(+), Chains of Heaven(7+)] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice, Uriel] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist(S), Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Universal Breathing Technique, Weapon Mastery, Martial Art Mastery] [Equipment: Eas(89), Frost(S+), Failure(S+), Toolbox(SSS) White Ogre Mask, Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(35), Gold(15), ck Gold(8), tinum(1)] Huo Yuhao grinned when staring at his Status Panel because he had been improving so muchpared to his former self six years ago. He obviously became stronger, to the point no Dragon Nest member could outpower him besides some individuals and gain enough influence over the current world. "I''ve gone through a lot." [Ancient Human] [Ancient Humans are the upgraded race of High Human, having superior adaptability with more significant potential in all field possible because their origine from the Primordial Era] [Divine Dragon] [Divine Dragons are True Dragons that gained distinguished "Divinity." after going through constant tempering of their Draconic Nature, Chaotic Purgatory Dragon or Naga''s origin blood has upgraded to reach this state, causing the inheritor of Naga''s bloodline toprehend the Law of Fire, Thunder, and Destruction] [War Beast] [War Beasts are creatures born when individuals mix Origin Race with several other Beast Races and absorb all beastly characteristics. They possessed better senses overall and physical prowess to defy the Law of Nature] Huo Yuhao currently possessed two origin orbs near his chest, and they were Divine Dragon and War Beast''s origin cores. Since Ancient Human was his primary race, he could utilize these two sub-races abilities without any problem. He even has three unique forms when using Divine Dragon and War Beast. "I haven''t used that mode in a while. Thest time someone forced me to use it, I ended up destroying the small continent on the east, haha." Huang Yuna frowned to the side andmented, "That''s not something you should be proud of, Yuhao. You know well that continent could be a good ce to ce Dragon Nest''s branch base." "Eh? But fighting is fun. It''s not like the Small Continent has enough resources to stand on its own." Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle. The Auspicious Monarch was left speechless and sighed in annoyance, "I wonder why humans are so battle-hungry. I swore on my mother''s name that no one in this world could beparable to you and Scathach. And your mother is out of the question because she wasn''t exactly human anymore." Huo Yuhao chuckled more and leaned on the stuffy clouds like they were his pillows. "Well, we can create another continent with enough preparation." He replied casually. "Wait, when did I be part of this n?" A tick mark appeared on Huang Yuna''s beautiful face. Huo Yuhao gave her a smug look and answered, "Hehe, since you entered this little organization of mine, let''s do our best Spirit Beast''s Division Captain, Yuna~." "How shameless..." Huang Yuna couldn''t help but narrow her white eyes at this young man. She observed his features and noticed he had be taller again today. Huo Yuhao has be quite a handsome young man in the past three years. His overall height is 189 centimeters, having a solid yet slender stature that contains immense power from those refined muscles under his clothes. And his short blue hair fluttered gently because of the breeze, giving off this calming experience for those who looked at him. However, the most impressive part of this young man''s features was his azure eyes. After upgrading his race, Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes be even more exquisite, like the sky with this goldish tint in the pupil. And this distinct feature gives Huo Yuhao another glorious nickname within the Dragon Nest''smunity, Blue-Eyed Dragon King. ... ... "Well, let''s go down." Huo Yuhao stretched his body a little and watched over the Advalon''s scenery. The Self-Evolving Dungeon has been evolving significantly after three years, providing his organization with an absolute advantage against every faction on the Douluo Continent. He also nned to ally with the Spirit Beast on the Star Dou Forest and the Extreme North. "Sure, give me some cookies when we are back home." Huang Yuna nodded and jumped off the clouds, making Scathach tilt her head below them. Scathach shrugged and squinted at the green sh thatnded beside her. "You''ve watched long enough there. What do you think about them, Yuna?" She asked naturally. Huang Yuna nced at the White Room Students and smiled because they were abnormal from her viewpoint and Dragon Nest''s standard. However, that''s not enough for people like Scathach because this supposed warrior queen only wanted Monster. "They aren''t bad." The Auspicious Monarch replied naturally with a smile. "Need some improvement here and there, but overall more monster-like than any students from the Douluo Continent. And they are still young, so having a better foundation at an early stage is great." "Still, you can''t measure them with this guy." Huo Yuhaonded on the ground several hundred meters away from the sky and brushed some dust off his tracksuit. He noticed everyone''s baffled expressions and cluelessly reacted with a casual greeting. "Uh, morning?" "Why is everyone staring at me like that?" He asked, to which Qianye Ying''er responded with a giggle. "Oh my god, is that THE YOUNG LORD!" L shouted like a good fangirl. "He JUMPED from the sky." Ka sighed because of her younger sister''s hyperactive nature and added, "It''s a cloud... Around 1.9 km off the ground, the young lord was fine without getting any injuries whennding there. And He killed off the impact perfectly, so none of us suddenly were swept over by the dust." "Nice calction..." Akira silently whispered while breathing dirt because Scathach broke all his bones. And Qianye Ying''er healing takes quite a while to recover all of them. Huo Yuhao shook his head and grabbed some potion from his inventory. He used the wormholes to give them one each and said, "Here, drink this. Shishou''s training is hard, after all." They received a ss of potion near them. It was a recovery Potion with pinkish liquid inside it, having potent medicine to heal one''s injuries instantly. Only a few people could create this Recovery Potion in the Dragon Nest. "Thank you, young master!" Chen Fan drank the potion without hesitation, showing his trust in Huo Yuhao''s goodwill. His eyes widened in surprise. "Delicious!" "It''s strawberry vored." Hearing that, Shen Xi sipped the potion and felt the sweetness from the pink liquid. She was dumbfounded because the effect worked instantly, and like what Chen Fan said, It was delicious. While another Alchemist "thoroughly." was focused on creating good products, Huo Yuhao was somehow able to add vor to such a creation without wasting the medicinal property. "How is this even possible?" Like a fascinated scientist, Shen Xi pondered and watched the potion closely. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but be amused by Shen Xi''s reaction to his creation because she was the only White Room Student with great talent in the Alchemist Field. As the other began to drink the potion, he wrote a note and teleported above Shen Xi''s head. "Hmm?" Shen Xi watched a piece of the white paper slowly glide before her eyes. She opened her palm and stared at the content, moving her gaze to Huo Yuhao. She blushed hard because Huo Yuhao noticed her fascination with a potion and thankfully continued, "Thank you, young master." "It''s not a big deal. Who likes nd potions anyway." Huo Yuhao replied, to which Shen Xi responded with a giggle and nod of understanding. Medicine does not always have to be bitter and hard to consume. "Yuhao, how is Advalon so far?" Scathach suddenly asked. "If I''m not wrong, the wave would be started soon, right?" The wave is Advalon''s advancement procedure where all Spirit Beasts within the area would be aggressive and attack everything. It was necessary to progress because when every living being in the dungeon thoroughly was killed, Advalon would absorb the energy and evolve even more. Advalon has gone through two waves, with each one happening annually. It needed to have every title douluo in the Dragon Nest participate in this event because they would gain immense experience-like energy to reach the next level. "After the auction on the Douluo Continent was over roughly in 3-4 weeks, Advalon would go through its third wave." Huo Yuhao answered calmly. "We''ll have some time to prepare ourselves." "Uh, can we join? I heard Ying''er joined thest wave." Lin Yan raised his hand excitedly. He wanted to see the spirit beast above 200.000 years old because this red-leveled domain has two with 100.000 years old phases each. "Sorry to disappoint you, but your presence wouldn''t be any help, Yan." Huo Yuhao gave the young man a sad look. Lin Yan was a high-spirited individual, but the wave possessed more danger than one could handle. Qianye Ying''er was on the second wave of Advalon because Battle g could buff Title Douluo regardless of her cultivation realm. "Oh..." Lin Yan looked down, gaining a sigh from everyone. Akira patted his buddy on the back and said, "You only have to be stronger, bro. We are the White Room''s students, so believe in our potential and Dragon Nest because we will eventually reach that level." The White Student smiled when hearing Akira''a morale-boosting words. This man understood how to soothe situations pleasingly, despite having an anger problem when L used him in her n earlier. "The optimistic maniac is reliable, huh," Lmented while leaning on Ke''s back. "Sister, are you going to meet Teacher Chen again? I know that cksmithing is ingrained in your blood." Ka drank the potion and replied, "Yeah, I have a training session with Teacher Chen at 10 am." Qianye Ying''er gently pped her hands and gained everyone''s attention on a whim. She picked a small device that looked like a typical iron baton. "I received a call from Giana. Some people from the Sun and Moon Empire and Shrek Academy have reached Java Ind." She informed them while pressing a button, creating a holographic screen in the air. "Yuhao, they seemed to have epted our invitation to the meeting and auction." Huo Yuhao frowned because he recognized some people on the screen. He pondered about something and told White Room''s students to get some rest. "Oh yeah, return to your dorm and get spiritual recovery pills from the Medicine Hall. Put them on my tab." He casually said while sending six youngsters. White Room Student was stunned for a few seconds because Spiritual Recovery Pills are expensive, even with their privilege. And to give such things freely, Huo Yuhao was so kind to them. "Thank you, young lord/young master!!!" They said while bowing their heads at him. "You''re wee." Huo Yuhao returned, watching six youngsters disappear from the Advalon. ... ... Huo Yuhao used the Dungeon Door to Trisakti and saw two familiar figures waiting for him. He stepped out of the seemingly white portal with Huang Yuna, Scathach, and Qianye Yinger. "How is the situation?" He questioned Liu Mei while grabbing a protein bar from his pocket. Ancient Humans needed a lot of energy. Liu Mei brought out her tablet and replied, "Yes. I''ve contacted the Auction Hall, and they have escorted the representative to the hotel. Even though they are skeptical because the location was on an abandoned ind, they still agree." "Also, none of them seemed to be aware of our technology." "Hehe~! Of course, I have covered everything tidily, and It is not like they can realize Spirit Engineering with just poor eyes and mere observation skill." Giana proudly brushed the bridge of her nose. Huo Yuhao patted Giana''s ck hair and replied, "Good job, you two." "Let''s wait until the rest of the guests arrive on Java Ind. As for the Shrek Academy and Sun and Moon Empire''s representatives, Give them some refreshment for a few days first." "Noted." Liu Mei clicked a few things on her tablet. "Um, young lord. Madam is searching for you right now." "You missed breakfast, she says." Oh, Shit-!" Huo Yuhao dropped his protein bar. He felt a spiritual presence from afar and turned around, only to see Huo Yun''er with a warm motherly smile on her face. "Hao''er... You promised never to miss breakfast when I was on the base. Where are you this morning~?" She hugged him from behind slowly, having her hand intertwined on his chest. Huo Yuhao let out a defeated sigh and replied, "It''s my fault. I forgot, mom." "No excuse?" Huo Yun''er slowly rested her head on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. "No." He returned immediately. She locked Huo Yuhao''s hand and continued, "Good. Now, let''s return home and eat some freshly cooked breakfast." They watched Huo Yuhao dragged by Huo Yun''er to Naga''s Den and were left speechless. Qianye Ying''er, Scathach, and Huang Yuna stared at each other and smiled because that woman''s sonplex was endearing. It might be because they lived around her long enough to befortable with it. "What is today''s breakfast, by the way?" Huang Yuna stared at Qianye Ying''er curiously. "Bread. Toast, to be exact." Scathach answered because she peeked into the kitchen before going to Advalon. And Huang Yuna''s eyes shone like twinkling stars when hearing this. "UWOOOOH! BREAAADDDD!!" The Auspicious Monarch disappeared from their field vision. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er smirked because Huang Yuna had a few weaknesses, and one of them was freshly-baked bread. Giana face-palmed andmented, "Ah yes, The Bread Enthusiast, Huang Yuna." Chapter 48: Little Surprise and Guest? Chapter 48: Little Surprise and Guest? --- Chapter 48 --- Huo Yuhao finished breakfast and ced his spoon on the empty te. Huo Yun''er cooked several things for him, but her french toast somehow was the greatest among all of them. People might think it''s weird to eat dessert, but Huo Yuhao doesn''t care and devours enough french toast to feed a big family for a week. "So Good~!!" Huang Yuna squealed in joy while nibbling on honey-covered toast. Her adorable face beamed with a warm yet cute pinkish glow, causing everyone around the dining table to get amused by it. The feared Auspicious Monarch is no more. This woman is just a bread enthusiast. "I bet the Spirit Beast''s division would have their jaws on the ground when seeing theirmander like this." Huo Yuhaomented with a teasing smile on his face. Scathach joined and added, "Last week, she hid a few boxes of croissants at the training ground. And ate them while no one was watching her." Huang Yuna blushed when hearing Scathach''sment and lowered her head. "S-Shut up, Bwead is life. How dawe you, Scathach!" She suddenly replied while having toast stuffed into her mouth. Huo Yuhao chuckled and wiped the Auspicious Monarch''s mouth with a napkin. He gently cleaned some honey off her face andmented, "Don''t talk when you''re eating, Yuna." "BREAD IS LIFE!" Huang Yuna finished the toast and stood from her seat. "Yeah, yeah. Stuff more toasts into your mouth, Yuna. You''re not a Qilin anymore, but a squirrel." Qianye Ying''er giggled while gracefully cutting her share with tableware, which left the Auspicious Monarch speechless. Huo Yun''er ced a tray filled with various cuts of meat, searing with a heavenly aroma. Scathach wanted to take her chance, but the mother caught the warrior queen''s wrist. "Hao''er first, Scathach." She said while smiling at the God yer. "Sure," Scathach replied, looking at Huo Yun''er hand that locked her wrist like an iron bar. "Your strength increased again." "Yeah, It''s not that important to share." Huo Yun''er returned while giving her beloved son the "biggest." portion. Huo Yuhao leaned on the chair and checked Huo Yun''er status with Evo''s help. He frowned a little because of his mother''s cultivation. When she said, "It''s not that important." any title douluo would be shocked when knowing her real strength. [Name: Huo Yun''er] [Age: 32] [Race: Ancient Human, Divine Fox(+)] [Cultivation: Level 98(Peak Hyper Douluo)] [Martial Soul: Mystic Spirit Eyes(7+), Heavenly Fox(9+)] [Power Level: Level 99.5(Demi-God/Deity Level)] [Description: A mother with an ultimate sonplex and her love for Huo Yuhao was limitless] Huo Yuhao smiled weakly inside when reading the description box because even though it was short, it fit Huo Yun''er very well. He clicked on the Divine Fox''s race and saw an additional panel appear out of thin air. [Divine Fox] [Divine Foxes were creatures who witnessed the mystery of the universe beginning, having an innate ability to see Luck, Doom, Fate, and even the Destiny of one''s being. They are extinct because of this fearsome ability and passed down their bloodlines to the Heavenly Fox n] Huo Yuhao always wondered how far Huo Yun''er could see one''s destiny because she wasn''t just an oracle with those eyes. Huo Yun''er exined that her ability didn''t manipte but directed the Luck and Doom Qi away, indirectly stripping one''s fate and destiny. It would be easily mistaken as future sight because one''s destiny changes based on life choices. "Hmm... We haven''t done it for a few weeks." Huo Yuhao''s eyes slowly lingered on Huo Yun''er rosy lips. It''s a based fact that Huo Yun''er has be more "Milfy." after getting her High Human race upgraded to Ancient Human. And Divine Fox Race enhanced that even further, giving her such a charming foxy persona from time to time. Huo Yun''er ced her finger on Huo Yuhao''s lips and brushed the meat''s juices off. She gave him a wink and licked the juice sensually. "Oh, Did I catch you off guard~?" She teased him and leaned on the dining table, making her "huge." racks rest on it. "Yeah. That was wonderful." Huo Yuhao replied with a smile. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er squint their eyes at the massive assets on the dining table. They are frowning because how could someone be so big yet perky? Those things are almost gravity-defying at this point. "Big." Huang Yuna said while stacking french toast like a tower on her te. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er agreed and replied, "Mm, Big." They aren''t talking about the same thing but agree something was big on the table. After breakfast, Huo Yuhao went to the washroom and washed his hand, remembering something important about Douluo Dalu 2''s story. "Oh no... I forgot about that ident." Huo Yuhao remembered that worms woulde to the Douluo Continent after drifting in the open sea for a while. And that worm gets attacked by some powerful Spirit Beast in the ocean and Spirit Dou forest, forcing itself to hide in a secret spot. "Star Dou Forest''s Entrance. Is that worm going to be there, though? I''m afraid my existence and actions in the past six years have changed several things from the original story." "Butterfly effect is a thing, after all." Huo Yuhao remarked while staring at his reflection in the mirror. He was too far ahead of the original Huo Yuhao. After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao suddenly connected himself to Giana''s core with his spiritual energy. His Techno Master ss was special because he didn''t need to wield any weapon to have its skill. "Hmm? Do you need something, Master?" Giana flew out of the nearest electronics. She was in her ethereal form, having a height of barely half a foot. She looked like a little fairy. Huo Yuhao wiped his hand with a towel and replied, "Connect me to RISU." [Connecting...] [RISU or Ratatoskr Interster Satelite Unit was under Master''s Spiritual Control] Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and opened them again to see the scenery of Douluo from orbital space. He used Overclock and scanned the whole with Kenbunshoku Haki, making some people alerted because his powerful Spiritual Energy swept over them. "It''s like the whole world is on my palm." Huo Yuhao employed Risu''s wide range to grasp Skydream Ice Worm''s location. And after several seconds, he discovered a powerful spiritual energy source from Star Dou Forest''s territory. A sigh of relief escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth because he was saving Skydream Ice Worm for the Eyes of the Lord. No way he would miss out on a free sentient 1 million years old Spirit Ring. [Name: Tian Meng] [Species: Spiritual Ice Worm] [Cultivation Age: 1.000.000 years old(weakened)] [Description: Skydream Ice Worm or Tian Meng is a spirit beast with dual attributes, Ice and Mental/Spiritual. She reached the 1.000.000 years old phase by consuming a lot of Cold Essence and fell into deep hibernation] "Uh, She??" ... ... Java Ind, The Entertainment District. Java Ind was an abandoned ind before getting discovered by Dragon Nest. It was well-known as a dead ind without any resources and was "actually." used by some pirate groups as a hideout. However, the ce transformed in just two years and became an entertainment district for Dragon Nest''s members. Even though Java Ind doesn''t have a vast area, Dragon Nest used it smartly by adding a few floating inds around it. It caused the ind to be more like an anchor to several ces on the boat. And the whole district is roughly 50 km square, with a towering building in the center. Several ships arrived at Java Ind''s docks, revealing a group of people escorted by Dragon Nest''s high-ranked members. They are people invited by Dragon Nest to attend the first-ever public auction. "Huh, I didn''t expect this ind to be such a ce." A blue-haired man from the Shrek Academymented whennding on Java Ind. "How could such an organization build something like this under our noses?" This man is Shrek Academy''s 216th Headmaster, Yan Shaozhe, and is known as Bright Phoenix Douluo. He was one of Shrek Academy''s representatives. A woman with neatly bundled green hair and in a military jacket kicked Yan Shaozhe from behind. She huffed and crossed her arms because he was blocking her view. "You''re on the way, Shaozhe!" She said with a frown. This woman is Sin Ling''er. The Head of the Spirit Guidance Department and one of the other Shrek Academy representatives, she was known as the Valkyrie Douluo. Yan Shaozhe brushed his back and replied, "Geez, I know you''re short, but don''t kick people like that." "What did you say? I''m 170 centimeters!" A tick mark appeared on Sin Ling''er face. They bantered lightly for a few moments and saw two or three people from the Sun and Moon Empire. Yan Shaozhe recognized a particr individual and couldn''t help but narrow his eyes. "That man is..." Sin Ling''er has a solemn expression all of a sudden. Yan Shaozhe nodded and added, "Yes, Jing Hongchen. The Lord of the Virtuous Hall and famous researcher in Spirit Guidance Tool''smunity. The Sun and Moon Empire actually sent him here." They are talking about a middle-aged man with silky white hair and blue eyes. He wore a monocle and a purple robe with Sun and Moon symbols on the chest area. A few more ships arrived, and the dock "immediately." was crowded with people. Yan Shaozhe was speechless because Dragon Nest invited not just big factions but also kingdoms on the Douluo Continent. "This is getting out of hand." Sin Lin''er leaned on a ship. "Hmm??" A powerful presence suddenly appeared, and everyone raised their heads instinctively, witnessing a beautiful woman in formal attire descend from the sky with dancing purple lightning. Shended at Java Ind''s entrance and greeted them with a friendly smile. "Wee to Java Ind, Everyone." Liu Mei greeted while pushing her sses up. "My name is Liu Mei, your escort until the Dragon Auction Event is over. Please be mindful of your actions here because Dragon Nest won''t tolerate people with no sense of respect. Any Action that was out of the norm and morality would ban you from ever entering Dragon Nest''s facilities." A man in a stylish-looking tunic walked through the crowd of people and approached Liu Mei with a smirk. "Who are you threatening us like this, huh?!" He yelled before the Queen of Thunder''s face. "Sir, that wasn''t a threat but a warning from me." Liu Mei answered calmly. "Unless you want to be out of this event, I rmend you to be "less." aggressive." "HOW DARE YOU!" The man shouted instead. (An: Yes, This is such a Cliche) Liu Mei giggled and replied, "Oh~?" Dragon Nest''s members in the area shivered when hearing Liu Mei''s shift in tone. The Queen of Thunder was known for being strict among the Dragon Nestmunity, and this guy was dumb enough to shout at her. "That guy is dead..." "You''re messing with Thunder Demon." "If I was him, I''d run away immediately." Liu Mei casually flicked her finger because there was no room for discussion and sent the man flying back to the Douluo Continent''s southern beach, a few kilometers away from Java Ind. Everyone who witnessed Liu Mei''s action pletely." was caught off guard because everything happened so fast. Their eyes aren''t fast enough to grasp it. Among the crowd, some people obviously noticed something even more frightening about this escort. Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth in disbelief because he witnessed Liu Mei''s spirit ring configuration in that "blink of an eye." moment. ''How is that even possible?!'' Yan Shaozhe clenched his hand tightly. Jing Hongchen fixed his monocule with a slightly trembling hand of shock. "I''m afraid this organization is not that simple..." He whispered solemnly. "That woman. She has four ck and five red spirit rings." Liu Mei brushed some dust off her clothes and stated, "Well, without further ado. Ladies and Gentlemen, follow me to Java Ind." She turned around and guided them into Java Ind, receiving several bizarre gazes from the guest. However, Liu Mei didn''t mind and told Giana to eliminate the sted guy from Dragon Nest''s guest list. "Everything is ording to the n." Chapter 49: Rune Stone Chapter 49: Rune Stone --- Chapter 49 --- Two years ago. Douluo Continent was shocked by the sudden appearance of a mysterious and unknown organization, Dragon Nest. They appeared out of nowhere and imed small inds on the southern edge as their territory. Every major faction was surprised and obviously curious by this new organization. Friday, Thirteen. Every major faction on the Douluo Continent suddenly was visited by two people in white robes with a dragon''s head symbol on the back. They were Dragon Nest''s higher-ups, Liu Beng and Murong Qianxue wanted to announce the Dragon Nest''s existence to the world. Even though they visited the major faction calmly without any aggression, some didn''t agree with Dragon Nest''s appearance and tried to attack Liu Beng and Murong Qianxue. It was a big mistake because both higher-ups showed absolute domination against their ambushers. People who witnessed the brutal fight spread this news and made another sensation, saying Dragon Nest has two Title Douluos with extreme strength. Eventually led to a formal brawl between Liu Beng and Murong Qianxue against everyone who didn''t agree to ept Dragon Nest''s emergence. The result is not surprising as Liu Beng and Murong Qianxue stomped everyone on their paths. They destroyed a good portion of the East Ming Desert, a deadnd between the Heavenly Spirit Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. And people named that ce Dragon Origin Desert now, honoring the first step Dragon Nest made on the Douluo Continent. One month passed quickly without any activities from this new organization, leading everyone to be more curious about them. Some smart people decided to send agents to the Southern Edge Sea, finding Dragon Nest''s base on the small inds. They witnessed hundreds of people from the nearest area getting recruited and epted into the organization, creating a new wave once again. People from across the Douluo Continent were intrigued. What kind of benefits did Dragon Nest even provide? However, no matter how much outsiders wanted to spread or know, Dragon Nest never gave forthright answers and only told new members after pledging their loyalty to the organization. "Dragon Nest only epted people with hearts to grow and be stronger together. We valued "loyalty." more than anything." Huo Yuhao''s decisive action in the past, killing traitors for Dragon Nest, caused every member to be saddened because their young leader had to carry such a heavy burden that they didn''t even realize existed. From that moment, they valued loyalty more than one''s qualifications. Ten months passed, and a few groups became agitated about Dragon Nest''s rapid growth. They spread a false rumor about Dragon Nest, trying to paint the new organization in a horrible light. However, actions speak more than rumors. Dragon Nest held a grand banquet and invited everyone to join the winter night. It was an event where over 100.000 people "thoroughly." were introduced to Dragon Nest''s culture for the first time, including foods, fashion, lifestyle, entertainment, and even martial art techniques. The Douluo Continent was amazed, but they only knew about the surface level because Dragon Nest had never shown a single technology created through Spirit Engineering. After all, such a thing would trigger more chaos than good. So people only know that Dragon Nest was a rich-cultured organization left far behind by factions like the Sun and Moon Empire in technological advancement. Oh boy, How wrong they were. The winner is always the one who saved their cards for the veryst moment. Huo Yuhao used deception and tricked the whole continent into thinking that Dragon Nest was just an outsider with no fundamental knowledge about their civilizations. It''s easy to make people believe something when they know "absolutely." nothing about it. After the grand banquet held by the Dragon Nest, the trade between the organization and the faction started. Dragon Nest traded unique products like potions and pills to get some items from the Douluo Continent. It created chaos because the medicinal potency of those items was higher than anyone expected. If the Shrek Academy was known for nurturing powerful Spirit Masters for ten thousand years. Then, Dragon Nest was known for being an organization with miracle-like medicine in just a year. Another year passed fast, and Dragon Nest established itself as one of the influential factions on the Douluo Continent, having enough members to be a small empire. Of course, Dragon Nest became the number one medicine supply because no one could replicate their product. Many people have tried to copy the medicine, but none seeded. Many, including Dark Spirit Masters, attempted to break into Dragon Nest''s secret. Those people were either dead or getting prisoned for eternity because Dragon Nest had more than two Title Douluo, which left everyone speechless. "Don''te to Dragon Nest with ill intent because you''d anger the Dragons inside it." That simple line sent a shiver down everyone''s spine alongside the corpse on their front doors. ... ... Java Ind, Mti Hotel. Liu Mei had a tea break with a few people from the major factions. She ced her cup on the ss table and looked at them calmly. "How was your rest, everyone?" She asked with a smile. "I hope the hotel service was satisfactory to your liking." Jing Hongchen nced at the guests and asked Liu Mei, "I''ll be frank, what''s the reason Dragon Nest suddenly held an open auction for the first time? We haven''t had any problem trading things in thest few months, no?" Liu Mei smiled and replied, "We have some items that can''t get traded by normal means. They are rare resources and medicineing from a farawaynd. Thanks to Sun and Moon''s empire help, we developed the Spirit Guidance Tool to transport our goods here." She ced a tablet on the table, and everyone frowned at such a small item until a light screen manifested in the air. "This is the list of items we would ce on the Auction." She continued while swiping the screen, revealing over a hundred precious materials and herbs. They weren''t too shocked that Dragon Nest was able to create a device that recorded data and showcased it. "Purple meteorite." Jing Hongchen was surprised when seeing one item on the list. This rare metal only appeared in a small portion of the Douluo Continent. On the Shrek Academy''s side, Yan Shaozhe''s eyes focused on the higher list and saw an item that would make his disciple''s life easier. He clenched in disbelief because that herb shouldn''t exist anymore. "Ice''s Heart Apple." Yan Shaozhe muttered while thinking about his student''s problem. "Xiaotao''s martial soul has been acting up in the past months. This medicine would be perfect for easing her pain." Sin Lin''er noticed her friend''s pained voice and shook her head because this man was so miserable. After losing his love life, Yan Shaozhe''s only family was his student. She sighed and saw everyone staring at the Auction''s goods. "Hmm?" An item caught Sin Lin''er attention. "What''s this Rune Stone?" Hearing that question, Liu Mei smirked inside because someone finally took the bait. Such an item obviously would catch one''s attention sooner orter as they had never heard about it, and Rune Stone''s appearance would shake the Douluo Continent. Liu Mei pressed a button on her tablet and showcased Rune Stone''s information without opening her mouth. The Dragon Nest''s secretary watched the guest''s eyes widen in astonishment upon reading Rune Stone''s description. A brown-colored stone with a unique ck marking and the size of an adult''s hand entered everyone''s eyes. [Name: Rune Stone(ck)] [Type: Dragon Nest''s Assets] [Grade: B+ Item] [Description: Rune Stone is Dragon Nest''s resource specifically developed to preserve Spirit Ring using a "special." method, which allows anyone to absorb the essence without any spiritual mark attached] "N-No way..." "This is..." "How did someone even create this?!" "This item was going to change Spirit Master''s way of cultivation forever." "An item that can store a Spirit Ring. Any spirit master who needed a spirit ring to reach the next realm could absorb it without worry about the spiritual imprint." Jing Hongchen couldn''t help but frown when reading this. He shook inside, and his curiosity as a scientist was burning. "Is there any proof this thing works?" Liu Mei pped her hand, and a maid came with a small wooden box. They watched the maid gently ce the container on the ss table and remove the lid, revealing the same brown-looking stone with purplish markings. "This is Rune Stone with a 6.900 Years Old spirit ring,ing from the Golden-horned Rhino. It''s a pure attack type Spirit Beast known for its solid physical ability." Liu Mei said while lifting the Rune Stone from the wooden box. "And to use it..." Crack! Liu Mei clenched her hand casually and crushed the stone into a fine dust. A purple ring emerged from the marking and floated in the air, shining dimly with the faint image of a golden-horned rhino in the center. "It''s real..." Someone among the guests muttered, and everyone could feel the attraction from the Spirit Ring with no imprint attached to it. You can''t absorb the Spirit Ring that someone else killed, a fact everyone has known for ten thousand years, but it shockingly was broken today. "New era..." "A new era for every Spirit Master." Liu Mei waved her finger and drew a clear line in the air while picking an empty Rune Stone from her spatial ring. She used her Rune Mastery and sealed the purple Spirit Ring back. "Are you guys interested now?" She said while yfully swaying the Rune Stone in her hand. "The Auction Hall would put 300 Rune Stones, so feel free to trade your treasure for themter because Dragon Nest would only sell this out to the public in 2 months." "Any question?" Liu Mei said amusingly. Chapter 50: Late Night Encounter Chapter 50: Late Night Encounter --- Chapter 50 --- Two weeks passed, and all guests arrived at Java Ind to attend the Dragon Auction Event. They are amazed by the experience Dragon Nest gives them because Java Ind is more like a holiday spot than a gathering ce. Mti Hotel. Every representative was gathered in a conference room and greeted by Liu Mei like usual. She wore a summer dress and straw hat while introducing someone from the Dragon Nest to them. "Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Dean of Dragon Nest''s Academy, Hao Xie." Liu Mei said with a smile on her face. Beside her was a gentle-looking woman with silky rose hair and warm brown eyes. Hao Xie was in her early thirties. She wore a clean white robe adorned by several flower petals and Dragon Nest''s symbol on the chest area. "Nice to meet all of you here." Hao Xie said while lowering her robe politely. "As Liu Mei has said, My name is Hao Xie, and the Dean of the Dragon Nest''s Academy." "My purpose in gathering all of you here is to offer an interesting idea regarding the new generation. And Dragon Nest''s Leader has agreed with this. I want to offer every academy on the Douluo Continent a student exchange program to the Dragon Nest''s Academy." "We''ll provide every student with care and enough resources for one year. You can read the documents on the table to know more about Dragon Nest''s Academy way of teaching." Yan Shaozhe picked the document and was surprised when reading the content. Dragon Nest''s Academy provides a way to improve students'' ability and martial soul regardless of innate talent. Each student pletely." was gifted with resources based on their progress and improvement per semester. "What''s thisplimentary 50.000 School Points?" Yan Shaozhe questioned while pointing at the single line on the document. Hao Xie giggled and replied, "School Points are the currency used within the Dragon Nest''s Academy. It allowed the student to buy extra resources they needed for training, with examples like pills or potions." "Of course, 50.000 School Points won''tst forever, so they have to earn more by showing progress in their studies." Jing Hongchen flipped the document gently and read through everything with a solemn look on his face. He coughed and lifted his hand to catch Hao Xie''s attention. "I''m curious about the training grounds Dragon Nest''s Academy has. It stated that students could ess them to improve their overall strengths." "Mei." Hao Xie gave the Dragon Nest''s Secretary a delightful look. "Show them the gravity domain and elemental area." Liu Mei nodded naturally and pressed the button on her tablet, showcasing an area with several youngsters meditating. The air seemed to be trembling on the video, which caused some people to frown. "This is the Gravity Domain. One of the training grounds used to nurture the young generation in the Dragon Nest, and we used the gravitational pressure to refine physical force." "As for the next one." Liu Mei followed by swiping her finger across the tablet, showing several areas with rich flora and fauna. "Elemental Areas are ces with rich elements within Dragon Nest''s territory. They are suitable for spirit masters to cultivate and be closer with their Martial Soul''s origin." Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is Dragon Nest''s Academy? From these recordings, they aren''t part of the Douluo Continent, right?" "Unfortunately, I can''t share that piece of information with you guys." Hao Xie responded by shaking her head lightly. "You can contact your supervisor about this matter and think about it deeply because this was a rare chance. I''ll wait for the response until the Dragon Auction Event is over." "Any question?" She watched over the guest with a polite smile on her face. A young representative from the Star Luo Empire raised her hand and questioned, "Um, you said the Dragon Nest''s Leader agreed with this idea. Can you tell us about this important person?" "After all, Dragon Nest''s Leader had never shown himself/herself in public." Hao Xie was about to answer, but Liu Mei quickly stopped her by covering her mouth. "Well, That''s confidential information as well. However, one thing was sure, Dragon Nest''s Leader was a kind and passionate individual." She answered, which left everyone confused. The meeting was over with unanswered questions, and the representative quit the room with apparent curiosity. Liu Mei sighed because Hao Xie would start fangirling at that very moment. Thank God, she was fast enough to stop her iing one-hour speech about Huo Yuhao''s greatness. The Dragon Nest''s Secretary fixed her sses and said, "I know you''re part of the cult, but control yourself, Xie." "My bad." Hao Xie replied with a chuckle. "I can''t help myself, you know? Young lord''s greatness was like God sent to this world. No, he''s a Deity that descends to this world." Liu Mei gently flicked the Dragon Nest Academy''s Dean on the forehead and continued, "That wise mind of yours is beyond me." "Whatever, since the young lord agreed with the idea. There shouldn''t be a problem." ... ... Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er arrived at Java Ind through the warp gate in the underground pce. They walked out of the circr white portal and "immediately." were greeted by Dragon Nest''s guards. "Wee, Young leader!" "Wee, Mistress." "How are you?" Huo Yuhao responded while patting one of the guards. "Everything is alright, young leader. No one has entered this ce besides our members so far. All guests actually were ced in the Mti Hotel with some distraction in the two weeks." The guard answered. "As for us, we are eating well." Huo Yuhao smiled and added, "I see... Good work." "I''ll be seeing you guys againter." As Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er walked through a secret passage to Java City''s center, the mother chuckled and grasped her beloved son''s hand. "Hehe~! It''s time for our date~!" Huo Yun''er hummed while cheerfully "Yeah." Huo Yuhao kissed her on the cheek. "We haven''t gone outside for a while, so why don''t we go to Java Ind to take a breather and attend the Auction Event." They entered a lift and moved up to the ground level, where a few people were busy running around to prepare for the Dragon Auction Event. Huo Yuhao ced White Ogre Mask over his face and pulled Huo Yun''er outside. "Let''s go, Mom." He said gently. Huo Yun''er nodded lightly, "Mm~!" Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er explored Java Ind for the whole evening. It was rare for them to have time to do something like this because they were always busy. And sometimes, they even forget to rx. "This is refreshing." Huo Yun''ermented while walking beside her son on the sandy beach. The gentle ocean breeze makes her pinkish-blonde hair flutter, flowing brilliantly with dim sunlight. Huo Yuhao gently caressed Huo Yun''er hair and ced a fox-shaped hairpin to stop the breeze from messing it. He noticed a blush on her face and chuckled because she was adorable. "Wanna rest somewhere? We haven''t eaten anything today." He said while looking around the beach. There aren''t many people here because people are busy preparing for the Dragon Auction Event. "Let''s go to the nearest restaurant." Huo Yun''er replied while touching her new hairpin. She likes it a lot because Huo Yuhao gifted it to her. They went to a restaurant named Sand Castle and sat at the outside table to view Java Ind''s scenery. Huo Yun''er leaned on the wall and saw her grown son with a proud look. He has be such a good-looking young man in six years. Huo Yuhao lifted his mask slightly and told the waiter to serve some seafood for them. "Oh, don''t forget to bring some bottles of wine for us." He said, to which the waiter responded with a nod. "Your order wille in a few minutes, young lord." The waiter bowed and walked to the kitchen. He told the chef to serve the best seafood because the Young Lord was visiting their restaurant. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, his presence caused the kitchen to burn with spirit to create the best food in the world. He closed his eyes and felt someone patting him. "I''m not a child anymore, Mom." A chuckle escaped his mouth. "You''re always my beloved son no matter what, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er returned unaffectedly. "My precious and handsome Hao''er~!" ... They finished the dinner in a giddy mood and walked out with a satisfied look. Huo Yuhao wanted to pay with contribution points, but the owner refused by saying they owed him more than some dishes and a couple of wine bottles. And the day has be night. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao nced at Huo Yun''er and saw her face had subtle redness. They were drinking a few bottles, but she seemed more intoxicated than him. "Are you okay?" "I''m okay..." Huo Yun''er mumbled while hugging him from behind. Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "You''re drunk. Let''s go to the hotel." Huo Yuhao walked through the alley with Huo Yun''er purring on his back. And someone suddenly crashed into him. He was fine, but the other person fell to the ground. "Damn. What was that? An iron wall?" Yan Shaozhe brushed his clothes. "Pfft-!" Sin Lin''erughed on the side. Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment because he recognized these people. They are representatives from Shrek Academy and were quite famous in the past. "Uh, here." He offered his left hand to the Shrek Academy''s Dean. Yan Shaozhe lifted his head slowly and saw a young man with a weird-looking white mask. He sighed inside because Dragon Nest has such a bizarre member. And he grabbed the young man''s hand and noticed how firm yet powerful it was. "Thank you." Yan Shaozhe said with a weak smile. Huo Yuhao pulled the man up and replied, "No, It was my fault for not paying attention on the street. As you can see, I have someone on my back." "Hoho, it''s nice to be young." Yan Shaozheughed while staring at Huo Yun''er on Huo Yuhao''s back. "What''s your name, kid? Mine is Yan Shaozhe." Huo Yuhao smirked behind his mask and replied, "My name is Yun Long. Nice to meet you." Chapter 51: Dragon Auction Event Chapter 51: Dragon Auction Event --- Chapter 51 --- Huo Yuhao walked alongside Yan Shaozhe and Sin Lin''er to the Mti Hotel. After he encounters them identally in a dark alley, small talks and jokes be a genuine conversation. "So, what do you think about this ce?" Huo Yuhao asked while staring at the street. "Dragon Nest has been secretive in the past two years, and I''m sure you are surprised by Java Ind''s facilities?" Yan Shaozhe chuckled in excitement and replied, "It would be a lie if I said no because every establishment on Java Ind was beyond my expectation and simply superb. I barely saw any problem so far and the food! Yes, the food is amazing here!" "d you like it." Huo Yuhao smiled behind his mask because everyone on the Dragon Nest had been working hard on Java Ind. They transformed a dead ind into a ce filled with joy and entertainment. Sin Lin''er glimpsed a giddy mood from Huo Yuhao and blinked her eyes because this young man was quite mysterious. He was obviously Dragon Nest''s member because no outsider besides guests like them was allowed to enter Java Ind. His overall looks are solid, with one exception his face literally was hidden behind an odd-looking mask. "Do you have any questions? I''ll answer them for you." Huo Yuhao abruptlymented, which caught Sin Lin''er off guard because this young man noticed her gaze. Cough! Sin Lin''er cleared her throat and asked, "Ehem, T-Then... Can you tell us more about Dragon Nest? We know, but that was from our perspective only." "Interesting question. Dragon Nest, huh?" Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment. He remembered so many things in the past six years and was distracted when recalling them. "Let''s make it short. This Organization was started based on pure ambition and hope to escape a doomed fate. People were gathering and helping each other, creating a strong tree that protects everyone from their unwanted past." "Dragon Nest was born because of people who wanted to live in this unfair world. Young or adult, everyone believes that staying weak is a sin and bing strong is a way to break their unwanted destiny." "We are friendly, but I suggest you never anger us." "Hmm, why so quiet?" "No, we were shocked..." Yan Shaozhe shook his head because hearing Dragon Nest''s upbringing from Huo Yuhao opened their eyespared to tant and sometimes inurate news on the Douluo Continent. "Dragon Nest has been a hot topic for people on the Douluo Continent. A new yet powerful organization with an overwhelming appearance and presence. Yet, listening to your words makes us understand Dragon Nest more." "Yeah." Sin Lin''er nodded in agreement. She remembered the deal Liu Mei and Hao Xie made this morning and added, "Uh, I don''t think you''d answer this, but what do you think about Dragon Nest''s Academy?" "It''s a good ce. Every student there was given a great chance to be what they wanted, but Dragon Nest Academy valued hard work more than raw talent. Of course, talent is important and makes things not unfair, but that''s when rivalryes." "After all, A good rivalry birthed a nice environment where students pushed each other''s limits to surpass them. And they also have a chance to enter White Room''s Division." "White Room''s Division??" Yan Shaozhe and Sin Lin''er frowned when hearing Huo Yuhao''s tant expose of Dragon Nest Academy''s secret. The young man was unhinged and walked casually to the Mti Hotel. "W-Wait, what''s White Room Division?" Yan Shaozhe watched over the young man with a frantic expression. Huo Yuhao was about to enter the Mti Hotel''s front gate and stopped after thinking about something. He nced at the Shrek Academy''s representatives and answered, "A ce where monsters were born and made by Dragon Nest." He waved his hand at them and entered the Mti Hotel, telling the receptionist to give him the King Suite. As Huo Yuhao entered the lift, Yan Shaozhe and Sin Lin''er followed to the reception hall hurriedly. "See you guyster." He said while moving to the highest floor. ... ... Huo Yuhao gently put Huo Yun''er on the king-sized bed and went for a warm shower. He ced the White Ogre Mask on the sink and grazed his hair gently. After meeting with Yan Shaozhe and Sin Lin''er, Huo Yuhao began to remember a few plots in Douluo Dalu 2. "This is getting interesting, my existence changed the story drastically, and everything was still on the tolerable path." Hemented naturally. "I only have to worry about Tang San and his friends in the Divine Realm. Their existence is like a ticking bomb for me." The next day, Huo Yuhao woke up and saw Huo Yun''er sleeping face. He smiled because she was hugging him like a ko. "Morning." He kissed her lightly. "Hmm~?" Huo Yun''er furrowed her brows and opened her eyes slowly. "Where am I?" Huo Yuhaoughed and answered, "Mti Hotel, you were downing a few wine bottlesst night and became drunk. I had to bring you on my back here." "Is that so?" Huo Yun''er tried her best to recallst night''s event and blushed because she was making the poor restaurant owner empty the wine storage. Even though Huo Yuhao said a few bottles, that was an understatement. "I''ll call the hotel service. Does warm soup sound good?" Huo Yuhao reached over to the transceiver. He dialed the Mti Hotel''s service and watched his mom nodding her head. After ordering some food, Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er cuddled under the nket andzily enjoyed their time. Itsted 15 minutes before the hotel''s attendant knocked on their door. "The breakfast is here." ... ... An hourter. Liu Mei calmly stepped into the Mti Hote''s highest floor and approached the king suite. She knocked on the door and asked Huo Yuhao''s permission to enter. "Young lord, everything was ready." She said while waiting for an answer. "Oh, Liu Mei? Come in." Huo Yuhao responded from inside. As Liu Mei entered the king''s suite, a scenery that could make every adult woman in Dragon Nest jealous appeared before her eyes. Half-naked Huo Yuhao was sitting on the edge of the bed, pampering Huo Yun''er by feeding her warm soup. Even though Liu Mei was speechless, she stayed in character and fixed her sses carelessly. "The Dragon Auction Event was ready. We moved the goods into the underground storage room and waited for the guest to enter the building. Um, Are you going to attend the event as well?" She reported while staring at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao ced the empty bowl of soup on the tray and asked Huo Yun''er, "What do you think, Mom?" "Sure, Sounds fun. I wanted to see some people make fools of themselves." Huo Yun''er responded with a fox-like smile. Liu Mei nodded and said, "Then, I''ll prepare an extra VIP room for you. Ah, one more thing. Do you want me to ce the Red Rune Stone on the Auction?" "Why not? I''d like to see their reaction to our product." A grin stered Huo Yuhao''s face. ... ... Java Ind''s Center, Dragon Auction Event. A towering building stood above everything on Java Ind and emitted a dark-like shine. Over a hundred guests entered the building and "politely." were apanied by the Dragon Nest''s members to the Auction Hall. Jing Hongchen walked into a two-story room with a massive podium in the middle. He and other Sun and Moon Empire representatives entered the VIP room on the second floor and frowned because Shrek Academy''s people stayed beside them. "Morning, what a nice day to attend an auction. Am I right?" Yan Shaozhe greeted Jing Hongchen with a smile. "Certainly. Now, if you excuse me." Jing Hongchen responded while walking into the VIP Room. He doesn''t want to talk with Shrek Academy''s people now because the Auction''s Items are more noteworthy. Yan Shaozhe shrugged andmented, "What a cold guy." Calm steps approached the Shrek Academy''s representatives from behind. They couldn''t help but be alerted because of it. "Hmm?" Sin Lin''er and Yan Shaozhe turned around and saw Huo Yuhao apanied by Huo Yun''er in her morous dress. "Damn, Boy! I don''t know you have such beauty on your side." He said, to which the young man responded with a chuckle. "Morning." Huo Yuhao said while looking at Yan Shaozhe and Sin Lin''er. They have been wearing more formal clothes for this event. "I see that you guys are dressing a little bit." Sin Lin''er huffed her chest in defeat and replied, "Well, I can''t wear pajamas on such an important event. That would be a rude move from Shrek Academy." "That''s true." Yan Shaozhe fixed his tuxedo. Huo Yun''er lowered her head and stared at Yan Shaozhe and Sin Lin''er with an amused look behind her veil. "Oh, Shrek Academy? So you two are Bright Phoenix Douluo And Valkyrie Douluo." She said while gauging these two strengths. "How did you..." Sin Lin''er wanted to ask, but the Auction abruptly started. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please enter your assigned room and spots. The Dragon Auction Event will get started in a few seconds." "Once again! Ladies and Gentlemen, please enter your assigned room and spots. The Dragon Auction Event will get started in a few seconds." Huo Yuhao walked past Yan Shaozhe and advised, "Save your resources, Yan Shaozhe. Don''t waste them on B-Grade items." Leaving the Shrek Academy''s representatives on the corridor, Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun''er entered thest VIP room on the second floor. They sat on the sofa and watched the podium through the half-opened curtain. "Wee, everyone." Liu Mei, in her flowing purple gown, walked onto the podium. "The first open Dragon Auction Event will start now." "Without further ado, let''s start with the rule of the Auction. We don''t receive gold and only trade our goods, which means you can trade with items of the same value." "Is that clear enough?" Liu Mei smiled because noint wasing from the guest. "Then, let''s start with the first item." Chapter 52: Uproar Chapter 52: Uproar --- Chapter 52 --- "Oh my god, how could they even make products like this?!!" "Dragon Nest is insane." "I-I had to buy those cosmetics for my wife." "Fuck your wife! I want all of them for myself." The guest is arguing with each other because the Dragon Auction Event started with beauty-enhancing products. It makes the women representatives go crazy by listening to the effect after usage. Huo Yuhao leaned on the sofa andmented, "They are quite lively. There is no betterbination than women who are starved for attention and like to be beautiful with beauty products." "You''re ying around with them, Hao''er." A chuckle escaped Huo Yun''er mouth. Huo Yuhao shrugged his shoulders indifferently because that wasn''t his problem for people being dumb enough. They seemed to forget Dragon Auction Event doesn''t just have beauty products. And people eliminated themselves from getting a good thing like Rune Stones. "It was an easy trade." He scanned the item they used to trade the cosmetic kits. Liu Mei smiled a little when watching some guests enthusiastic about the Auction''s goods and introduced them to the second item. She snapped her finger and showed everyone a ss box with a chest te armor inside. "This is White Rabbit te made from the White Moon''s Steel, known for its durability and lightness. It''s enchanted with Rune Mastery and makes the wearer''s weight like a feather." Liu Mei said with a teasing tone. "And even Spirit Sage can''t destroy it easily." The representatives from Major Factions frowned when hearing "Rune Mastery." from Liu Mei''s mouth because that technique was Dragon Nest''s specialty. It''s remarkably mysterious and could get used in almost every field. They wanted to. No, they had to buy White Rabbit te not because of the effect but to uncover Rune Mastery from the armor itself. If they could reverse-engineer the fundamental understanding of it, they might be able to learn Dragon Nest''s secret. ''Young lord is right. They are delusional.'' Liu Mei thought while pping her hand. A couple of guards walked into the podium and showcased White Rabbit te''s ability for the bidder. "The guards... They are Spirit Sage." Someone murmured in disbelief, watching a stern-looking guard with seven spirit rings on the podium. The stern-looking punched his fellow guard that wore the White Rabbit te, and everyone was surprised because no damage actually was received. The armor and wearer are fine. "Now for the bid, we only ept prized treasure equal to 5.000-10.000 years of medicine ingredients or any rare materials." Liu Mei said whilemanding the guards to ce the armor back in its case. "Damn, I can''t trade my treasure right now. My king ordered me to get the Rune Stone..." A frustrated groan escaped one guest''s mouth on the back. "If only Gold Coins were usable here..." "I want to trade the Fifth ss Spirit Guidance Tool: Turtle Barrier for that armor," Jing Hongchen''s voice suddenly echoed. "It''s a defensive tool that could create a 10 meters radius dome barrier and receive an attack from Spirit Sage twice." "Damn." "Fucking whale." "This guy is filthy rich." "Is there anyone who wants to bid for White Rabbit te? Since there was none. Then congrattions to the Sun and Moon Empire''s representative for getting White Rabbit te." Liu Mei handed the ss case to the nearest servant so that Jing Hongchen could get the item. Not even a minuteter, Jing Hongchen ced a block-looking device on a tray held by the Auction''s Servant and received the White te Armor. He smiled because he could see faint marks of the Rune Mastery inside the armor. Liu Mei introduced a few more items around the same grade as White Rabbit te, causing Jing Honchen and some people to hog them all. They are unaware that Dragon Nest baited them to waste their treasure here. It''s a good trade but not worth it based on Liu Mei''s view. After an hour, the Dragon Auction Event entered a break time, and everyone finally could breathe in relief. The Sun and Moon Empire''s VIP room was full of the Auction''s goods. Jing Honchen grasped the interior of White Rabbit te and used his Spirit Guidance to observe the Rune. "Hmph! It would take some time to decipher this." He muttered while cleaning his monocule with a clean handkerchief. Meanwhile, at the Shrek Academy''s Vip Room. Sin Lin''er was annoyed and continuously tapped her high heels on the carpet because Yang Shaozhe prohibited her from bidding. "Why?" Yan Shaozhe sighed and replied, "You know why already, so Don''t make me repeat it. We had to save resources for the Rune Stones and other treasures." "Tch, fine." Sin Lin''er swayed her head. "Haa... I hope that Young man''s advice is working." ... ... "Now, let''s start the Auction again." Liu Mei ced an ancient-looking wooden box before their eyes. "The next item is a pill created by the Dragon Nest''s famous alchemist. It could repair one''s meridian and increase the Spirit Rank of Spirit Master under Spirit Douluo Realm by five levels directly. The name of the pill is Earth Breaking Pill." Silences, everyone was dumbfounded by the effect because raising five levels is not a joking matter. They were unsure, but when Liu Mei opened the wooden box, rich medicinal energy burst out and filled the Auction Hall. "Holy shit!!" "It''s real!" "Fuck, what should we do... We traded our resources for other items already." "NOOO! I should have saved my golden-scaled grass." Third of the guests are frustrated because they couldn''t get a chance to get the Earth Breaking Pill. They could only watch and learn from their mistakes. "Star Luo Empire wanted to trade Star Essence with Earth Breaking Pill." A calm voice reverberated in the Auction Hall. A purple-haired young woman sat in the Star Luo Empire''s Vip room, wearing a bluish-white dress. Liu Mei nced at the room and asked, "Esteemed Guest, may I know what Star Essence is?" The young woman opened her mouth gently and replied, "Star Essence is a rare miracle liquiding from a meteorite that fell into the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years ago. It could enhance one''s physical aspect and have a low probability of causing the second awakening of a martial soul." Everyone was quiet when listening to the young woman. Even Liu Mei was taken aback for a moment because Star Essence values more than Earth Breaking Pill. After all, having a chance to second awake a martial soul is like evolving the martial soul itself. "Before that, how low was the probability of second awakening one''s martial soul?" Liu Mei asked calmly. The young woman in Star Luo Empire''s Vip room took a while to answer this question. She seemed unsure of the chance because Star Essence hadn''t researched properly. The effect only happened after constant consumption through the generation of the Star Luo Empire''s royal family. "2%... It only has a 2% chance of second awakening one''s martial soul." She answered firmly. Liu Mei heard Huo Yuhao''s spiritual voice reaching over her head and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to take part in this bid?" "No? Then, Congrattions to Star Luo Empire''s representatives for getting the Earth Breaking Pill." She gently tapped the Auction Hammer and told a servant to send the goods away. At Huo Yuhao''s Vip Room, Huo Yun''er was confused about her son''s decision. "Why did you tell Liu Mei to trade the Star Essence?" She asked curiously. "Mom, don''t you think 2% is such a good odd?" Huo Yuhao responded with a confident look because he has several cheating perks that increase the chance of Star Essence''s second awakening effect. Not to mention Evo could upgrade the item easily. Huo Yun''er pondered and said, "I mean... It''s only 2%." "You''ll seeter, hehe." Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to the Star Luo Empire''s Vip room casually and utilized Kenbunshoku Haki to detect people inside it. "Sometimes coincidence could be freaky." Hemented because he knew that young woman was. [Name: Xu Jiujiu] [Age: 17] [Species: Human] [Cultivation: level 54] [Description: Star Luo Empire''s Princess] "You know her?" Huo Yun''er narrowed her eyes. Huo Yuhao nervously coughed and replied, "W-Well, yeah. That young woman is Star Luo Empire''s Princess, and I saved her six years ago." The mother''s face darkened because she remembered some annoyance and muttered, "Six years ago... I still won''t permit her to be close with Hao''er without any further examination from myself." ''Fuck! I forgot to tell mom about that story.'' Huo Yuhao cursed while covering his mouth with a napkin. As the trade between Star Essence and Earth Breaking Pill was over, Liu Mei pped her hand to gain everyone''s attention. She cut off the light and slowly brought it back after the servant brought several metal boxes onto the podium. "W-What''s that??" Several guests were confused because only representatives from the Major Factions actually were told beforehand about Rune Stone. Liu Mei clicked something, and a big yet bright screen appeared from the wall behind her. "This is our final Auction Goods, Rune Stone." "Inside these metal boxes, we had Rune Stone, an item that could store a Spirit Ring and be absorbed by any Spirit Master regardless of the Spiritual Imprint. It''s an item that only Dragon Nest could create after several years of hard work." "As for the authenticity, we have someone here to demonstrate the Rune Stone''s usage." Liu Mei called over a young-looking man in Dragon Nest''s Academy Outfit, which consisted of a red zer, a white shirt with a blue tie, and green trousers. The young man picked a rune stone from his spatial storage unit and showed everyone a brown rock with purple markings. He crushed it, releasing a deep purple spirit ring on the podium. Everyone gasped in shock, besides some people who knew this information beforehand. The young man summoned a Dark-feathered Owl and absorbed the spirit ring while adjusting his breathing. And after several minutes, the young man finished and showcased five purple spirit rings. "WHAT THE FUCK!" "HOW COULD HE HAVE FIVE PURPLE SPIRIT RINGS!" "THIS IS BEYOND LOGIC!!" "WE WANT AN EXPLANATION!" An enormous uproar happened in the Auction Hall, and Liu Mei released her Title Douluo''s pressure to shut them up. Her spirit ring slowly emerged from the darkness, illuminating the room with crimson light. ZZT! "Calm down." Liu Mei''s fingers slowly were coated with intense purple electricity. "That''s the standard of our Dragon Nest''s Academy. We raised powerful Dragons that stand over themon standard." "Don''t lump your weak logic on us." Her cold eyes stared at the guest, sending shivers down their spine. ... ... Everyone couldn''t even respond "properly." because of the pure pressure Liu Mei released. Her Queen of Thunder title wasn''t for nothing because their heart literally was electrocuted by getting gazed at alone. Liu Mei unknowingly gained fans outside of the Dragon Nestmunity. "Let''s start the bid." Liu Mei''s cold voice reached their ears. "Y-YEs, Mommy! I-I mean, Mommy? Sorry. Mommy?" Chapter 53: Auctions End Chapter 53: Auction''s End --- Chapter 53 --- Liu Mei started the bid for Rune Stones, making everyone frantically open their mouths to trade their resources for Rune Stones. The male bidders seemed more eager after the Dragon Nest''s secretary disyed her power. Since the Dragon Auction Event only ced 300 Rune Stones, it became a war of mouth between the factions. Liu Mei walked to the nearest metal boxes Without wasting everyone''s time and announced, "Dragon Nest ced 300 Rune Stones for today''s auction. 100 Rune Stones are purple, 199 are ck, andstly was a red Rune Stone." "The rule hasn''t changed, and you can freely trade your resources/treasures with Rune Stone. Of course, the value has to be equal." A series of papers flew to the bidders, which contained details about the Rune Stone''s spirit ring. Each recorded the age and from what type of spirit beast the spirit ring came. The higher list caught everyone''s attention because everything above number 30 could be considered a rare and even extinct Spirit Beast. A thousand words aren''t enough to describe their surprise because some of these Spirit Rings actually were recorded in the legend because of their terrifying abilities. Weirdly, number one on the list seemed unknown on the paper. At the Shrek Academy''s Vip Room, Yan Shaozhe clenched his hand excitedly and muttered, "He''s right... That Young man''s advice saved us from trading useless things." Even so, Yan Shaozhe had to admit that he underestimated Rune Stone''s value. They are no lower than Spirit Bone in significance, considering some Rune Stones contained a Spirit Ring from legends. 10.000 years ago, these spirit beasts were considered famous and even optimal pairs for a "certain." type of Martial Soul. "Hehehe~! Looks, Who areughing now." A vicious chuckle escaped Yan Shaozhe''s mouth, making him look like a third-rate viin. Sin Lin''er sighed inside because of her friend''s reaction and was relieved because she wasn''t dumb enough to bid before. She looked around the Auction Hall to find the mysterious young man''s location because he wasn''t on the first floor. "There." She stared at the furthest VIP room, framed on the second floor''s corner. "Hmm? I can''t see clearly beyond the curtain." Huo Yuhao nced at Sin Lin''er, slightly amused by the Valkyrie Douluo''s attempt to observe him from afar. Unfortunately, her vision won''t pass through the enchanted curtain. Even if she used her spiritual energy, he could easily counter it with Haoshoku Haki. A faint yet powerful Spiritual Energy emitted by Huo Yun''er and Huo Yuho smiled because she didn''t have to use her illusion here. And he can''t do anything about it because everyone who tried to pry into their secrets has received a bacsh. "Uugh." Sin Lin''er felt an intense pain in her head and groaned painfully for a few seconds. She gasped for air and solemnly watched the mysterious young man''s room. "H-How powerful..." Yan Shaozhe noticed something was wrong and asked, "Are you okay? Your face bes pale all of a sudden." Sin Lin''er trembled slightly and replied, "Yeah. It must have been the wind. The room is quite chill, you know." "Okay..." The Shrek Academy''s Dean responded while giving her a suspicious look. It''s not hard to know something was wrong with Sin Lin''er. Liu Mei opened the first metal box and revealed several purple Rune Stones. She picked the nearest one because that was the lowest on the list. "We''ll start from this Rune Stone. You can read the document and know how old and from what kind of spirit beast the spirit ring came." She said while gazing at the crowd. "Go." The bidders started to present their treasures'' value at Liu Mei and hoped to win the trade. The Dragon Nest''s Secretary fixed her sses and listened carefully. "First Purple Rune stone traded for 1.000 years old white lotus." "Second Purple Rune stone traded for Geocentric Lightning Essence." "Third Purple Rune stone traded for Water Core from the Bk Kingdom." "Fourth..." "Fifth..." "Sixth..." ... ... Liu Mei recorded everything with her tablet and kept everyone on a checklist because some guests might want to create a loopholeter. She clicked on thest Purple Rune Stone and watched their expressions, overwhelmed by adrenaline. "Okay, we are done with the appetizer." She said while leaning on the following metal box. "Now, we are on the entree." "Warning, Major Factions like Shrek Academy, Sun and Moon Empire, and Body Sect couldn''t trade more than 50 ck Rune Stones." "And why''s that even mentioned!" A short-looking man with cross-shaped scars on his chest suddenly yelled from the Vip room. "I have enough resources, so why should I let a lesser group of people take it?" This man is from Body Sect, an organization where the Spirit Master trained a rare type of Martial Soul. And Body Sect is rather unorthodox as they only epted members with Body''s Type Martial Soul. It means someone with Spirit Eyes, like Huo Yun''er and Huo Yuhao, could join. Liu Mei smiled at the man and replied, "Don''t you think 50 is enough? After all, We have to share things. I won''t force you to participate if you don''t want to, but the exit door was there. You can get out anytime." Even though Liu Mei doesn''t release any form of pressure, the way she talks makes everything more threatening. The Body Sect''s representatives could only grit their teeth in annoyance and epted the rule. "The first ck Rune Stone." She continued while opening the second metal box. "Bidders, go!" "Heaven Spirit Empire traded 30kg of Heavenly Jade and Two 10.000 years old Spirit Bones for 20 ck Rune Stones." "Dou Ling Empire traded Spirit traded 1 Ton of Volcanic Rupture Ore and 1 Spirit Bone for 20 ck Rune Stones." "Oh? What a surprise, Star Luo Empire traded more Star Essence, 10.000 years old Ginseng, and 45 Kilo of Refined Meteorite Ore for 35 Rune Stones.." Liu Mei stared at the young woman in the Star Luo Empire''s Vip room. "Such a splendid decision." "Hmm? There is another surprise. Sun and Moon Empire traded 5 Seventh ss and 4 Eighth ss Spirit Guidance Tools for 24 ck Rune Stones." At the Sun and Moon Empire''s Vip Room, Jing Hongchen''s expression darkened because they didn''t have enough resources to buy 50 ck Rune Stones. He wasted most of them on Dragon Nest''s equipment, which had the Rune Mastery''s secret. "God damn it... I should have saved our resources." He cursed while gripping the sofa''s edge. Yan Shaozheughed when hearing a frustrated groan from the Sun and Moon Empire''s Vip room. He was delighted because Jing Hongchen actually lost it. "Imagine you don''t have enough resources to bid in an Auction. It couldn''t be me, Bwahaha." Hisughter escaped the room. Several peopleughed too, and Jing Hongchen fumed inside when hearing Yan Shaozhe''sment, wishing death upon this Shrek Academy''s bastard. "Just you wait, Shrek..." Jing Hongchen mumbled indifferently. Liu Mei ignored Shrek Academy and Sun And Moon Empire''s banter and moved her gaze to the Body Sect. She heard a firm deal from the representatives and announced it. "Congrattions to Body Sect for getting 50 ck Rune Stones by trading the 20.000 years old Geocentric Dark Pearl and several Heaven and Earth''s treasures." "Hmph. We could trade more if there is no limit." The representatives from Body Sect huffed arrogantly. Sin Lin''er nced at Yan Shaozhe and called Liu Mei to trade Shrek Academy''s resources for the Rune Stones. She pped Yan Shaozhe''s shoulder and said, "That item should be enough, right?" "Yeah." Yan Shaozhe replied yfully with a nod. Liu Mei listened to Sin Lin''er and dered, "Congrattions to the Shrek Academy for getting 50 ck Rune Stones by trading 15 Spirit Bones, several Rare Medicine Ingredients, and Fallen Ancient Golden Tree''s Branch." "Shrek, they prepared some Good Shit for this Auction." "As expected of the Shrek Academy." "Oh my god, how could they have so many Spirit Bones?" "I mean, it''s Shrek Academy. What do you expect? Their roots started 10.000 years and even birthed several heaven-defying monsters, including the Thousand Hands Asura and Tang Sect''s Master, Tang San." Praises and jealousye one after another, but Yan Shaozhe and Sin Ling''er have be numb because they are proud members of Shrek Academy. He even smirked when hearing Tang San''s name from a random guest. Liu Mei released a sigh and closed the metal box, leaving thest item for the Dragon Auction Event. "Ladies and gentlemen, open your eyes and witness this Red Rune Stone." She walked over to the podium and grasped thest metal box. "This Rune Stone was unique, specially created to hold 400.000 years old Spirit Rings from a powerful Dragon Spirit Beast, Lord Sabtush. It possessed incredible power and two Spirit Skills." "Dragon''s Fear and Sky Dragon Lord." "You also could gain Sabtush''s Origin Bloodline from this rune stone. One of its kind, Blood Rune Stone." Liu Mei clicked on her tablet, and the box''s lid was slowly opened from the inside, revealing an enormous ck rock with a unique red marking. ROAR! BOOM! The Auction Hall suddenly was swept over by powerful Dragon Roar, and everyone with Dragon-like Martial Soul felt fear from the depth of their soul. "ARGHHHH!" "NOOOOOO?!!!" "MY HEAD!" "M-MOMMY!" "DADDY!!" "AUHUUAAAHHAA!" Sin Lin''er who possessed Greenme Dragon Martial Soul felt a tight grip in her heart and let out a bloodcurdling scream. She hugged herself ufortably and hoped for this to end. The other guest is no better than Sin Lin''er because they also experience the same pressure, feeling imaginary dragon fang on their necks. "What a weak group of people." An indifferent voice echoed in the Auction Hall. "You can''t even handle this weak sauce pressure?" [Supreme King''s Presence] A golden light escaped Huo Yuhao''s Vip room, surrounding the whole Auction Hall with a majestic presence. The blue-haired young manzily leaned on the sofa and shattered Blood Rune Stone''s pressure, isting it inside the metal box. sp! The metal box gradually created a translucent barrier and covered Sabtush''s Rune Stone from releasing excessive pressure. However, everyone still remembers the dread in their hearts. "For those who possessed Dragon Martial Soul, you''re a fucking disgrace to Dragon n." Huo Yuhao added while deactivating Supreme King''s presence. Liu Mei giggled when hearing Huo Yuhao''sment and looked at the baffled expression of the guests. She shook her head because the young lord was as outstanding as usual. "Now, let''s see who wanted to bid for Sabtush''s Rune Stone?" She questioned amusingly. Jing Honchen immediately mmed his hand on the table and shouted, "Sun and Moon Empire would like to trade 2 Ninth ss Spirit Guidance Tools for Sabtush''s Rune Stone!" "Hoho, 2 Ninth ss Spirit Guidance Tools going once." "2 Ninth ss Spirit Guidance Tools, going twice." The representative from Body Sect raised his voice and joined the bid, "Body Sect would like to trade 25 Spirit Bones for Sabtush''s Rune Stone!" "Oh my fucking gods, these guys are NUTS!" The audience couldn''t help butment. The amount of resources the Body Sect and Sun and Moon Empire possessed is ridiculous. Sin Lin''er calmed herself down and gripped Yan Shaozhe''s thighs. "S-Shaozhe, We can''t let them grasp such a dangerous item. We have to. No, S-Shrek Academy had to get Sabtush''s Rune Stone." She mumbled weakly. "I know." Yan Shaozhe nodded solemnly. "Shrek Academy would like to trade 25 Spirit Bones and Three drops of Ancient Golden Tree''s Essence." "5 NINTH CLASS SPIRIT GUIDANCE TOOLS!" Jing Hongchen dered, leaving everyone speechless. They couldn''t believe their ears for a moment because the Ninth ss Spirit Guidance Tool cost more than 100.000 years old Spirit Ring. Meanwhile, Shrek Academy and Body Sect are shocked by Jing Hongchen''s decision. This man is mad. "Congrattions to Sun and Moon Empire for getting Sabtush''s Rune Stone by trading 5 Ninth ss Spirit Guidance Tools. What a good Auction we have today." Liu Mei responded naturally. She bent her body slightly and continued, "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Dragon Auction Event has ended today. Thank you for participating." "We, Dragon Nest, wish everyone to return home safely." ... ... Huo Yuhao Vip room. "They are more idiots than I thought." Huo Yun''ermented while resting her head on Huo Yuhao''s shoulders. "Who knows?" Huo Yuhaoughed and nced into his Inventory. [Inventory] [...] [Bronze Monarch''s Rune Stone(20)] [Water Behemoth''s Rune Stone(34)] [Insect Monarch''s Rune Stone(11)] [Pandora''s Rune Stone(2)] [Sabtush''s Rune Stone(18)] Chapter 54: Liu Meis Power Chapter 54: Liu Mei''s Power --- Chapter 54 --- The Dragon Auction Event ended sessfully, there were a lot of surprises here and there, but the representatives from each faction were clearly impressed. From the services whening to Java Ind for the first time until thest day, when the Auction grandly was held. When the representatives returned to their factions, Dragon Nest''s assets over Rune Stones would explode and be a hot topic for years. After all, How could Spirit Masters not be excited, knowing there was a way to store Spirit Ring into an object? Of course, greed and jealousy over Dragon Nest''s ability to create Rune Stone will appear. It''s bound to happen, but Huo Yuhao has prepared everything for six years. Java Ind might look like an ordinary ind with several ships anchored. Yet, several 100.000 years old Oceanic Spirit Beasts lived around it, a little-known fact because only higher-ups knew about this matter. The day representatives stepped out of Java Ind, Huo Yuhao expected some chaos to happen sooner orter. And he was right because Giana told him that several Evil Spirit Masters from Holy Ghost Church surrounded the coastal area. ... ... At the Auction''s treasury, Huo Yuhao stood at the entrance and saw many things stacked in this room. He leaned on the nearest because the Event earned more than he expected, meaning the bidders couldn''t see through his scam. "There is a reason why I don''t allow Gold Coins as the currency because they mean nothing. Meanwhile, treasures like this have more value." Huo Yuhaomented while picking a familiar-looking device. [Name: Hongchen''s Blessing] [Type: Defensive Tool] [Grade: S+] [Description: Hongchen''s Blessing is a ss 9 automatic defensive soul guidance tool with its defensive effect equal to the "strongest." attack unleashed by the user with all of their Spirit Energy without initiating any Spirit Skills. And It depleted 1/5th of the user''s energy and formed an invincible barrier with defensive power up to 3 times the user''s cultivation] [Warning, Hong Chen''s Blessing needs to get recharged after each usage. By cultivating/absorbing the spirit energy in the air, the user could charge the device "full." within three days passively or a whole day by doing it manually] "Huh, I don''t expect to get this thing here." Huo Yuhao stared at the floating red orb on his palm. Hongchen''s Blessing possessedplex spirit arrays inside it, but he could easily decode itpared to Primordial Runes. "I don''t know if this was a good thing or not for my n." ''Well, everything was fucked up when I arrived in this world anyway." He added while storing the Hongchen''s Blessing in his inventory. Huo Yuhao swept over the treasury and picked the "impressive." items he could experiment withter. He had a fair share of curiosity about Star Essence because the liquid could second awaken one''s martial soul, even with the low odds of that happening. [Name: Star Essence] [Type: Heaven and Earth''s Treasure] [Grade: S+] [Description: Star Essence was a unique liquid from a meteoritending on the Star Luo Empire years ago, which Xu n had been consuming through many generations, causing a mutation and a second awakening of their inherent Martial Soul, Star Crown] [Star Essence''s real name is Divine Water. It has the effect of drawing out one''s potential, but is also "extremely." poisonous after consumption] Evo added, which left Huo Yuhao speechless. "No fucking way!" Huo Yuhao slowly looked down at several vials filled with Star Essence. He was speechless because Douluo Dalu''s universe possessed so many things, and Divine Water was one thing he didn''t even know. "No wonder the Star Luo Princes seemed unsure about the percentage. Her ancestors probably killed themselves until that "one." guy survived and passed the Star Crown Martial Soul to Star Lou Empire''s royalty." Yawn~ "Are you done?" Huo Yun''er yawned while walking into the Auction''s treasury. She and Liu Mei have been waiting for Huo Yuhao outside. Huo Yuhao smiled weakly and answered, "Pretty much. We can give the rest of these resources to the Researcher, Craftmaster, and Medicine Hall." Huo Yun''er nodded and scanned through the treasury, finding nothing that could amuse her. The Luck Qi within those rare medicines and materials is minuscule. There is also a good amount of Spirit Bones, but none are good enough for her and Hao''er. "Oh, someone is brave enough to return to the Douluo Continent immediately." She suddenlymented because her vision saw something. "From what faction?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. The foxy mother pondered for a good one minute because she couldn''t remember any insignificant beings that didn''t associate with her beloved son. "Body Sect, was it?" She tilted her head in confusion. Huo Yuhao was amused and chuckled, "Oh? It''s going to be interesting." At the Mti Hotel. Every faction''s representative gathered to discuss the way back home because, even though Dragon Nest would provide them with transportation to the Douluo Continent, no one would protect them when they stepped on the beach. Yan Shozhe and Sin Lin''er, as the representatives from the righteous Shrek Academy, obviously became the center of attention and asked to protect them. The Shrek Academy''s Dean sighed and spoke naturally, "I''ve said it already. All of you can stay at Java Ind until everything calms down because we can''t protect everyone at once." "B-But we had to return immediately to spread this precious information about Dragon Nest. The news about Rune Stones alone would shock the entire continent in chaos." Someone in the crowd desperately replied. "What''s more important? Your life or the news?" Sin Lin''er was annoyed. "Don''t be a fool and think about it deeply because being dead won''t help you. Please understand that Dragon Nest''s secrets aren''t everything." Everyone was quiet when listening to Sin Ling''er, even Jing Hongchen and representatives from other Empires. Liu Mei pped her hand and walked into the Mti Hotel''s lounge room. "Well said." The Dragon Nest''s Secretarymented while looking at them. "Have you noticed that Body Sect''s representatives have already gone from Java Ind?" "Huh??" "What? Where are they?" ''Those maniacs... Hehe, it''s fine because 50 ck Rune Stones will be moved to the virtuous hallter.'' Jing Hongchen realized Body Sect''s representatives had left Java Ind when they walked back to the Mti Hotel. Liu Mei smiled and dered calmly, "I have received an order from higher-ups of Dragon Nest. For the safety of our Dragon Auction Event''s first guest, I''ll be the one who escorts you back to the Douluo Continent." "Eh?" They are genuinely surprised. Jing Hongchen frowned inside because Liu Mei''s existence would ruin his n. He wanted to meddle with her deration, but Yan Shaozhe and several other representatives agreed immediately. "Thank you, Mommy~!!" "Woah, what a lifesaver." "I could finally live longer." "These fools..." Jing Hongchen silently cursed while massaging his temple. ... ... Every representative walked to the dock and filled up a Yacht provided by Java Ind. "Let''s go." Liu Meimanded while summoning a massive katana out of thin air. It has a "y." character carved on the beginning of the de. As the Yacht moved from the dock because of Giana''s control over the mechanism inside, everyone watched Liu Mei with an awed look because her presence became more prominent. And ghost-like armor made of pure lightning covered her body. "U-Um, Ma''am." A young man walked to Liu Mei with a hopeful look. "May I ask something?" Liu Mei used Universal Breathing Technique to ignite her Spirit Circuits and moved her gaze to the young man. Her eyes shone coldly because of the effect, making him terrified. "What''s it?" She returned naturally. The young man stuttered, "P-P-P..." "Huh?" "PLEASE STEP ON ME!!" He shouted with all his might, leaving everyone stunned on the spot. Aplete silence happened on the ship deck, besides the sea wind noise. ... Liu Mei couldn''t help but giggle when hearing such an absurd yet familiar request because people often did this in the Dragon Nest''s base. Queen of Thunder''s title might sound menacing, but that also attracts some strange guys. "Sorry, boy. You''re far from my ideal type, and I already have someone else in mind to be my partner." She answered with a kind yet cold tone. "As for stepping on you? Why Don''t you jump out of the ship and die?" "I-I see, then sorry for bothering you." The young man blinked his eyes in disbelief and turned around because he couldn''t die here yet. He sighed but received kind encouragement from some of Liu Mei''s followers in the crowds. "What the fuck just happened!?" Yan Shaozhe shouted while looking at Liu Mei. Sin Lin''er sighed and whispered, "Boys." Jing Hongchen wiped his monocule clean with a handkerchief and ignored the scenery on the deck. He watched the sky and sea meticulously, noticing some people. And his lips curved when realizing Evil Spirit Masters had surrounded the Yacht. "KEKEKE!" "THE INFORMATION IS RIGHT. THERE ARE SOME BIG FISHES HERE~!" Several ck-hooded Spirit Masters appeared out of thin air and surrounded the Yacht. Liu Mei grasped the handle of her katana and whistled casually. An enormous silhouette descended from the sunny sky. "y All Evils." The calm voice of Liu Mei echoed in the area. "Come, Wyvern." BOOM! ROAR! A Crimson-Scaled Wyvern appeared and caused a storm that swept the Evil Spirit Masters away from the Yacht. Liu Mei pulled the katana and summoned her spirit rings, creating a vast domain of lightning above the ocean and below the sky. "W-What kind of power is this?" They shivered when looking at the domain of lightning. Liu Mei floated with an enormous demonic-looking arm beside her body. "Kill her!" The Evil Spirit Masters'' leader shouted and released his cultivation realm too. He was also a Title Douluo with an odd Spirit Rings configuration, but Liu Mei doesn''t even bat an eye. Over 70 people with cultivation over Spirit Sage and Spirit Douluo Realms rushed to Liu Mei. There is also one Title Douluo, under the Evil Spirit Master''s leader,ing toward her with a menacing-looking scythe. SWOOSH! "Crane Style: Drifted through the darkness." Liu Mei''s silhouette suddenly trembled like buzzing lightning, and her katana barely moved from its spot. The Wyvern roared, and one spark caught everyone''s attention. One purple lightning spark appeared and shed with the air, followed by another. And another one. It caused a rapid reaction and created a bright sh in the area. SWOOSH! BOOM! An extreme thunderp manifested from Liu Mei''s act, leaving burned ashes in the air. Her katana was moving too fast for one''s eyes to see and shed everything around her into a bunch of ashes. "She used extreme friction... And burned everything like a divine judgment from the sky." Someone said with a horrified tone. "The Queen of Thunder." COUGH! The leader of the Evil Spirit Master coughed a mouthful of blood and stared at Liu Mei with a terrified expression. This woman is a monster. "Oh, yeah. I forgot to introduce myself." Liu Mei slowly grinned like a mad woman. "My name is Liu Mei. The 2nd ranked Higher-ups of the Dragon Nest." "Y-You! NO WAY!" Everyone, including the Evil Spirit Master''s leader, finally realizes Liu Mei''s real identity. Some people even cursed themselves for not connecting the dots sooner. The Queen of Thunder chuckled and added, "You might have heard about my brother Liu Beng. He''s such an adorable boy, right~?" Those words sent shivers and fear to people who knew about Liu Beng''s feats two years ago. The Dragon Nest''s Demon Wind Douluo and Liu Mei actually called him an "Adorable boy." And It showed that she was more powerful than the former. The Evil Spirit Master gritted his teeth because he literally was left with no choice in this situation. He summoned a dark spear and called upon the Dark Moon in the sky, shining the area with destruction rays. "Bright Phoenix..." Yan Shaozhe activated ]Bright Phoenix Martial Soul and created a holy barrier around the representatives. He stared at Liu Mei and hoped she could finish this fight sooner because everyone would get injured at this rate. "SO WHAT IF YOU''RE THE SECOND-RANKED?!!!" "I''LL TAKE ALL OF YOU HERE WITH ME!" The Evil Spirit Master''s Leader shouted while stabbing himself in the chest with the dark spear, causing the dark moon to swallow everything around it. Liu Mei sighed in disappointment and walked past the Evil Spirit Master, leaving faint electricity in the air. She sheathed her katana back and whispered, "Torn to Oblivion." BOOOOOM! A purple pir of lightning swallowed the dark moon and the Evil Spirit Master''s leader into nothingness. And Liu Mei returned to the Yacht while undoing her martial soul. "Don''t stare at me like that." She said casually, like fighting Evil Spirit Masters was a daily chore for her. "That wasn''t even enough to warm me up." From that day, Liu Mei gained another title from the people of the Douluo Continent. Lightning Goddess Chapter 55: Wave and Journey Chapter 55: Wave and Journey --- Chapter 55 --- A week passed quickly after the representatives of each faction returned safely. And as Huo Yuhao expected, the news about Dragon Nest''s assets over Rune Stones and several other things exploded and spread like wildfire, bing a hot topic in a matter of a day. People are curious about the technique or the Rune Mastery Dragon Nest utilized to create Rune Stones, but the mysterious yet new organization isn''t dumb enough to reveal it. There is no way Huo Yuhao allowed an outsider to know Dragon Nest''s secrets because he knew just how greedy one could get. After several months of neverending curiosity, those greedy factions would start to pressure Dragon Nest to reveal the secret, but like Naga once said. Dragon Shouldn''t and Never bow to anyone. As for the Dragon Auction Event. It ended satisfactorily because Dragon Nest gained quite a decent amount of rare material and some spirit bones. Meanwhile, a "certain." group was quite unlucky because their representatives were ambushed by Evil Spirit Masters, causing them to lose 2/5 of their ck Rune Stones. Yes, we are talking about Body Sect. When the representatives of the Body Sect wanted to return immediately to their factions, a legion of Evil Spirit Masters in the coastal area ambushed them without mercy. Even though they are strong, a group of Evil Spirit Masters is tough to beat. This unfortunate event generated a hate spark, causing the Body Sect to dere war against Evil Spirit Masters. ... ... Dragon Nest''s Treasure Land, Advalon. Huo Yuhao swept over Advalon''s Third Wave with a group of Title Douluo. They wiped the Spirit Beast off the face of the Self-Evolving Dungeon''s domain and ttened the surroundingnd because it would trigger the Training Field to evolve nicelyter. "Arise." A blue-haired young man in dark-ted armor and six floating mechanical arms walked toward ten 100.000 years old spirit beasts. He didn''t even worry about the terrifying enemies before his blue eyes and called several gigantic shadowy creatures to the living world. [Great Waterfall Ape(Shadow) Lvl.94] [Hercules Beetle Emperor(Shadow) Lvl.95] [Evesting Bear Lord(Shadow) Lvl.91] [Silver Beast King(Shadow) Lvl.93] [Mountain Lion King(Shadow) Lvl.92] [Bronze Dragon King(Shadow) Lvl.97] [Azure Sky Dragon(Shadow) Lvl.97] [Tree Spirit Fairy(Shadow) Lvl.96] [Emperor ck SwordFish(Shadow) Lvl.94] Nine shadowy creatures emerged from Huo Yuhao''s shadow and surrounded him like his loyal servants. They are his Shadow Generals brought back through Darkness Maniption and Death Maniption. Unfortunately, This self-created skill based on Ashborn''s original ability is limited because Huo Yuhao couldn''t create more than 9 Shadow Generals right now. He had to tap more into his Fourth Spirit Ring''s skills and even maybe upgrade it to 1.000.000 years oldter. "Open, Toolbox." Huo Yuhao said and watched his shadows ughter the Dungeon''s Monsters. [Opening Toolbox...] [Name: Toolbox] [Type: Pocket Living Workshop] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Toolbox is a Pocket Living Workshop. It''s a pocket dimension, incorporating several Spirit Engineering-based tools inside, akin to a cksmith Workshop the user could use to create all kinds of equipment] A slime-like creature floated beside Huo Yuhao. Yes, Toolbox is an adorable golden blob of water with dim ck lights around its round body. Huo Yuhao created Toolbox a few months after Dragon Nest revealed itself to the world because he didn''t want to use Eas as a workshop. Eas is Huo Yuhao''s trusted armor, so he couldn''t waste it to be an anvil and forge. "Palu, give me a bow." Huo Yuhao chuckled slightly and called the Toolbox''s nickname, causing the golden slime to shine in joy and spew out a bow made of Spirit Bones and several other rare materials. "YEE~!" The slime squealed excitedly. [Name: Luminous Spine] [Type: Reinforced Bow] [Grade: S] [Description: A powerful bow created from 25.000 years old Spirit Bone, Luminos Beast''s Horn. Given a shape simr to a Spine after several refinements with rare materials] [Skill: Light Horn Arrows] Huo Yuhao grasped the Luminous Spine and stared at the pure white bow. He felt thefortable handle and his spirit energy rushed into the body''s weapon. [Silver Ranger ss was in effect] "Multi Shots." Huo Yuhao pulled the silk-like bowstring and used the Luminous Spine''s skill to create an arrow with a horn-like head. SWOOSH! As Huo Yuhao released the bowstrings, over fifty arrows flew out like light pirs. "Let''s do it faster." He brought Frost from inventory and activated Dawn Bringer''s ss to increase his speed, fading into the darkness slowly. [Dawn Bringer ss was in effect] [Extreme Stealth activated] ROAR! ROAR! Huo Yuhao''s Shadow Generals have a monster smackdown with 100.000 years old Advalon''s monsters. He entered the chaotic ground and swung Frost to create a thick Ice Barrier around them. BOOM! The Great Waterfall Ape smacked 100.000 years old Dungeon Monsters with its shadowy water de. And Huo Yuhao smiled because the water would help Frost''s Ice Maniption. "Bronze Age." The Bronze Monarch sted shadowy-colored waves and destroyed the area. The other Shadow Generals wiped the Dungeon Monster clean and left ten shining crimson spirit rings on the area. Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and used Rune Master''s Skill to store these rings into Rune Stones. "Seal." He clenched his hand gently. ZZT! "Area 01 is clear." Scathach''s nonchnt voice entered Huo Yuhao''s earpiece. "Area 02 is clear." Qianye Ying''er reported while breathing heavily. It seemed she had a hard time against 100.000 years old spirit beasts but still won in the end. "Area 03 is clear." "Area 04 is clear." "Area 05 is clear." "Area 06 is clear." Several reports from other higher-upsing right after Qianye Ying''er and Huo Yuhao nodded because everyone was doing well. "Area 07 is clear." Huo Yuhao replied while looking at the sunrise. He chuckled and added, "Good work, everyone! Let''s grab some drinks and meals!" Everything was alright until Advalon advanced more than Huo Yuhao had assumed. The Self-Evolving Dungeon noticed its owner''s power and absorbed one of his aspects, driving a new stage before the next evolution. "Young lord, a new beast has arrived on Area 03." Liu Mei''s solemn voice arrived on Huo Yuhao''s earpiece. He frowned when hearing it, using the Dawn Bringer ss to create Shadow Clones. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a Chimera-like Spirit Beast appear before his eyes. He asked Evo to scan the Beast and smiled because it was a "great." opportunity for everyone to get a rare Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone. [Name: Chimera] [Type/Species: Dungeon Monster/Spirit Beast] [Age: 500.000 years old] [Description: Chimera is Advalon''s byproduct, an amalgamation of all Spirit Beasts spawned so far and possessed great power that rival Hyper Douluo''s strength] "Yuhao, Can I kill this thing?" Scathach suddenly asked through the earpiece. She has an enthusiastic smile when seeing a new Dungeon Monster appear. And her battle spirit was burning with excitement. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile and pushed the earpiece''s all-call button, "Do it, Shishou. And Everyone, this is code red. Be careful of the Chimera''s strength because that thing has power that rivals Hyper Douluo." "Roger!" They responded firmly. With everything in motion, Huo Yuhao summoned the Chains of Heaven, and seven spirit rings appeared out of thin air, shining with crimson lights. Except for the Seventh Spirit Ring because it has a "murky." brown color. [5th Spirit Ring] [Name: Warrior Incarnation] [Type: Spirit Ring/Will''s Piece] [Age: 696.900 years old(Growing)] [Description: Warrior Incarnation is Last Will''s Piece from the Campione''s Universe. It allowed the host to wield a force that negated one''s power and divinity] [Spirit Skills: Golden Sword, Authority Negation Chains, Anti-Divine Chains] [6th Spirit Ring] [Name: Karma''s Core] [Type: Spirit Ring] [Age: 800.000 years old] [Description: Karma''s Core is Spirit Ring from Karmic Beast, Spirit Buddha Lotus. It wielded the power of Karma and even affected worldly events] [Spirit Skill: Karma Sealing Chains, Karmic''s Gaze, Desperado(Passive)] [7th Spirit Ring] [Name: Heaven and Earth''s Essence] [Age: 1.000.000 years old] [Description: A crystallization of Advalon''s Second Core. It contained power over Heaven and Earth] [Spirit Skills: Enkidu''s True Avatar, Eternal Age of Babylon, Enuma Elish] "Divine Constructs." Huo Yuhao''s fifth and seventh spirit rings gradually released an intense ancient light and transformed thend around them into a Golden Domain full of Chains of Heavens. "Pierce him, Enuma Elish." He looked at the Chimera and ordered the divine-binding weapon. BOOM! Over a thousand chains red from the ground and soared to the Chimera, pressuring the whole 07''s sector area with terrifying forces. ROAR! The Chimera tried to fight back by releasing intense lightning, but under the Authority Negation, It quickly negated. Enuma Elish covered the sky and fell to the Chimera, swarming the Dungeon Beast like no tomorrow. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Absolute Destruction, Huo Yuhao didn''t leave the Chimera to fight back and used "decisive." force to kill it. He created wormholes to move the Dungeon''s Beast and called upon the Golden Sword to behead it. [Avenger ss was in effect] "O Sword, shine with brilliance for the sake of my victory and justice!" Huo Yuhao''s Eyes of the Lord activated and used the Divine Reflection to copy Chimera''s characteristics. He lifted the Golden Sword and swung it gently, cutting the Dungeon Beast''s head off. [You have killed Chimera] "Phew... How is everyone?" He asked while pushing the earpiece. Qianye Ying''er sighed in relief and replied, "Thanks for sending your clone here, Yuhao. The Chimera is far stronger than I expected." "Everything is alright, Kiddo." A burst ofughter reached the earpieces,ing from Yun Han. The Drunken Ocean Douluo was standing in the Chimera''s light essence currently. "Go get some drinks, old man." Huo Yuhaoughed too. "Advalon would start advancing soon." Other replies came to Huo Yuhao''s earpieces, reassuring him that everyone was alright and not injured. However, the most unexpected response is Scathach, who killed two Chimera herself in just a few seconds. She only lifted five of her seals, which means the God yer''s strength has increased again. [Advalon is evolving...] Giana''s warning echoed. [Please return to the outside world quickly] After looting everything, Huo Yuhao and the Dragon Nest''s elite warriors returned to the Trisakti. Huo Yuhao told Liu Mei to count the resources they gathered from Advalon''s Third Wave. Sitting on the floor, Scathach plopped her head on Huo Yuhao''sp and groaned in a giddy mood. "Congrattions, Shishou." Huo Yuhao brushed Scathach''s purple hair. Scathach giggled and replied, "You know already?" The Dragon Nest''s leader shrugged his shoulder andmented, "Of course. Your Spirit Circuits released a more potent Spirit Energy, which means your innate strength has reached the Tenth Stage." After studying Universal Breathing Technique and Spirit Circuits further, Scathach and Huo Yuhao discovered that the mastery of both "actually." was divided into tenyers. The 1st to 3rdyer showed how a Spirit Master could manipte Spirit Energy within their Spirit Circuits. This stage also indicated how skillful one''s breathing technique was And boosted one''s strength three times. The 4th to 6thyer showed how a Spirit Master could manifest Spirit Circuits onto the physical world, usually in the shape of an imperfect mask. This stage is called "Soulification." and boosts the Spirit Master''s power by five times. The 7th to 9thyer is an advancement of the previous stage, but the manifestation is perfect. Usually, the Spirit Master''s face "literally." was covered by a perfect-looking mask with the Crest Symbol on it. This stage boosted one''s strength by ten times. However, All nineyers only boosted the Spirit Master''s strength by a "certain." period, roughly one to three hours. And thestyer allowed Spirit Masters to increase their strengths by fifteen times constantly. No cooldown period because they can use Universal Breathing Technique indefinitely. "Let me take a nap," Scathach said while closing her eyes. Huo Yuhao caressed her hair and replied, "Go sleep, Shishou. We have a journey tomorrow." ... ... The following day. At the Dragon Nest''s warping gate, Huo Yun''er hugged her beloved son like a ko and cried because she didn''t want him to go. "Nooo! I don''t want Hao''er to go!" She yelled while tightening her grip. On the side, Qianye Ying''er and Scathach were speechless because Huo Yun''er agreed to let Huo Yuhao gost night. Yet, She changed her mind so quickly. "Ma''am, you know that Yuhao can return anytime he wants to the Dragon Nest, right?" Qianye Ying''er suddenly said, which stopped Huo Yun''er for a moment. "He easily could create a wormhole to the front door of our house while yawning." "Yes, I can do that." Huo Yuhao added with a weak smile. Huo Yun''er wiped her tears clean and asked, "Will you return for a noon cuddle? What about the night? I can''t sleep without you on the bed." "I also need a morning kiss..." Huo Yuhao kissed her on the cheek and returned, "Sure. Now, can I go?" The mother embraced Huo Yuhao with all her might and used Time Maniption to freeze the area to make this moment even longer. After quite a long moment, she freed him. "G-Go... Visit me often. Or I''ll find you personally." "I love you, mom." Huo Yuhao said while hugging her back. As the young man waved his hand and entered the warp gate with hispanions, Huo Yun''er picked tissue from her spatial storage and wiped her tears. "I missed Hao''er already..." "Um, Mistress." Liu Mei approached Huo Yun''er and naturally exined. "The factions that agreed to our Student Exchange Program have sent their students to Java Ind." "I was about to tell the young lord, but he has gone on his journey. Here is the list." Huo Yun''er picked the tablet from Liu Mei''s hand and scanned through the list. Since Huo Yun''er was distracted from Huo Yuhao''s journey, she could focus more on this. And after reading the document keenly, Huo Yun''er nodded because almost all of the factions agreed besides Body Sect. "Take them to the 1st Branch of the Dragon Nest Academy." She replied while returning the tablet. Liu Mei nodded calmly and added, "What about the representatives who arrived alongside the student?" Huo Yun''er mulled for a few minutes because she couldn''t let representatives have too much control. After all, They are here to monitor if Dragon Nest Academy is teaching things to their students or not. "Where are the representatives right now?" She questioned with a solemn look. "Dragon Nest''s Third Base. Tower City, Orario." Liu Mei clicked on her tablet and showed Huo Yun''er a hologram of a group of people. Huo Yun''er smirked and said, "Well, let''s greet them first." ... ... Huo Yuhao, Qianye Ying''er, and Scathach arrived at the Northern Sea City and were "immediately." weed by Dragon Nest''s members who guarded the warp gate. "Wee to the Northern Sea City''s base." A young woman bowed to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "Raise your head." "Thanks, my lord." She bowed even more, which caused Qianye Ying''er and Scathach to giggle on the side. "Anyway, let''s go to the Star Dou Forest first." Huo Yuhao said while picking White Ogre Mask. "Finally, an exciting journey." Scathach stretched her body a little and wore a ck mask to cover her lower face. Qianye Ying''er followed Huo Yuhao and Scathach''s acts, wearing a pure white veil to cover her appearance. She looked around the Northern Sea City and smiled because it''s been six years since she was here. "Yuhao, is there something important in the Star Dou Forest?" She couldn''t help but ask curiously. Huo Yuhao chuckled behind his mask and answered, "Well, we are going there to find a worm." "A worm??" "Yes, a worm." Chapter 56: Star Dou Forest Chapter 56: Star Dou Forest --- Chapter 56 --- "Giana, give us the route to the Star Dou Forest." A blue-haired young man casually sat on the edge of a cliff and ate his sandwich. Huo Yuhao waved his legs around and enjoyed the breakfast his mom cooked. A blue hologram map appeared before Huo Yuhao''s eyes, mapping the whole Douluo Continent. "Here, I''ve used the Spirit Radar to create a pocket map in the Algorithm," Giana answered through Huo Yuhao''s earpieces. "Do you need something else, Onii-chan~!" Huo Yuhao choked on his sandwich and groaned, "Okay, don''t tease me like that." "Hehe~!" Giana''s giggle echoed in the earpiece. Huo Yuhao sighed because the AI he created had be more mischievous. Maybe he should update Giana''s algorithm and core codes. ''Nah, The current Giana is already perfect.'' He noted inside as Giana "truthfully." loved by everyone in the Dragon Nestmunity. Her precise calction and remote control of technology helped them a lot. And updating Giana''s algorithm and core codes would be a pain in the ass. Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to waste his time and let the AI learn the world herself. "You''re lucky, Giana." Huo Yuhaomented while finishing his sandwich. "Eh??" ... ... Huo Yuhao summoned one of the Shadow Generals, the Azure Sky Dragon, for their flying transportation. A shadow expanded into a slender western dragon with four wings, and Its body was over 20ft and covered with shadowy azure me scales, burning dimly under the sun. "Hmm, I''ll call you Skye from now on." He said while patting the actual Sabtush. Fun fact, this is the Spirit Beast who governs over the small continent he destroyed when fighting with Scathach. [You have renamed Azure Sky Dragon, Skye] Evo announced monotonously. "Thank you, my lord..." Skye quietly growled under Huo Yuhao''s pats and enjoyed the treatment. After bing the young man''s shadow, he became more powerful and even gained a chance to be his general. "Wow~!" Qianye Ying''er arrived at the cliff and looked at Skye with an awed gaze. Even though she had seen the Azure Sky Dragon, it still looked as majestic as ever. Scathach suddenlynded beside Qianye Ying''er and gave Skye a praising look because such a majestic ride befitted Huo Yuhao and her. "Umu, not bad." She said naturally. "Get on." Huo Yuhao jumped onto Skye''s back and felt the solid texture of the dragon scale. He was shocked because that exined his Shadow General''s overall defense. Without further ado, Qianye Ying''er and Scathach followed Huo Yuhao to Skye''s back. As they stepped onto the Azure Sky Dragon''s Shadow, the creature roared and pped his wings. "To the west." Huo Yuhao pointed his finger at the vast horizon in the Star Dou Forest''s direction, causing Skye to st the surrounding air and soar at supersonic speed. A translucent, almost invisible dark aura covered Skye''s body, so none of them received a whish. "Light Reflection." Qianye Ying''er added anotheryer of protection, which caused Skye and them to disappear from ordinary''s eyes. Scathach was about to apply an Invincibility Rune and smiled inside when seeing this because Qianye Ying''er made a good decision. She doesn''t like people prying into her personal space, especially people with an annoying amount of curiosity. SWOOSH! Skye glided through the atmosphere and passed over several kingdoms within the blink of an eye. Huo Yuhao checked the map andughed because they would reach the Star Dou Forest in no time at this speed. "Can you fly faster, Skye?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but challenge the Shadow General. ROAR! "Challenge epted, my lord..." Skye responded with a broken humannguage. He prepared the second pair of wings and charged the Spirit Energy in his shadowy body, grinning with the sharp toothy mouth. BOOM! Skye generated a massive shockwave and created a ripple in the air, sending his slender body forward and elerating his flying speed even further. He was known as the Sky Lord, and speed was his domination. Huo Yuhao saw the map rapidly refreshing because Skye moved too fast for the Spirit Radar to handle. "Keep going." He grabbed one of the Azure Sky Dragon''s scales. SWOOSH! ... ... Star Dou Forest. "Uugh..." Qianye Ying''er gently rubbed her temple and slowly jumped off Skye''s back. She felt slightly nauseous because her vision couldn''t keep up with the Azure Sky Dragon''s speed. "Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao asked with a weak smile. "That might be a little too much." Qianye Ying''er frowned when hearing "a little too much." from Huo Yuhao''s mouth. However, she suddenly remembered something and acted a little more ill. "I need a rest, Yuhao. Can you carry me~?" She asked with such a hopeful tone. "Sure." Huo Yuhao knew Qianye Ying''er was ying around but still followed with her act. He lowered his body and felt the young woman''s growing bosom touching his back. Scathach watched these lovebirds with slight jealousy but let them alone because she would get her momentter. She hummed and patted Skye''s back, observing the Star Dou Forest''s scenery. "Well, this ce is denser than I believed. The forest and surroundings filled with Spirit Energy, but the people of the Douluo Continent were too afraid. They couldn''t even deal with some Spirit Beast." Scathach called Gae Bolg Alternative and closed her eyes to sense the surroundings. Her Kenbunshoku Haki covered the whole 1km radius, feeling every creature within it. "Not a single spirit beast here is strong enough to be my sparring partner. That''s somewhat disappointing." The God yer sulked. "Of course, Shishou. We are only at the entrance of Star Dou Forest." Huo Yuhao said while carrying Qianye Ying''er. "If you want to fight something stronger, let''s explore the deeper part of the forest." "Let''s go!" Scathach''s eyes shone with excitement. They walked to the outeryer of the Star Dou Forest and met with several spirit beasts. However, they barely passed 500 years old, and Scathach scared them away with her presence alone. "Tang Ya, dodge!" A youthful shout reverberated in the area. Boom! A small lightning p followed, causing Scathach to narrow her red eyes slightly. They used Kenbunshoku Haki and saw a pale purple-haired young man rushing toward a pink-scaled snake. Several meters from the young man, a youngdy appeared to be around 15-16. She has very long ck hair tied into a ponytail behind her back. And her pink eyes shone with a purplish light. "Hmm, they aren''t bad for Douluo Continent''s standard. Those movements are refined enough to attend Dragon Nest''s academy advanced ss." Scathach observed both youths with little interest. "They are not alone." Huo Yuhao added while seeing another pair of youths behind a thick tree. "Well, my past advancement changes something, huh?" "Sanshi, provoke the Datura Snake!" The pale purple-haired youth shouted. And a red-haired guy in a ck jacket jumped out of his hiding spot. The red-haired guy flipped his middle finger to the spirit beast and yelled, "Hey, Oval Face! Watch this." The Datura Snake hissed and rushed to the young human who angered him. However, a thick ck shield suddenly appeared, and the beast smacked itself on its oval face. "Hehe, Gotcha!" The red-haired young man snickered yfully. "Good." The purple-haired young man activated his martial soul and transformed his right arm into Dragon Arm with powerful lightning around it. "Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track." His movement bes faster. Datura Snake couldn''t do anything and saw Thunderous Dragon w attack its upper body. The Spirit Beast released a painful groan and fell onto the ground. And the three youths sighed in relief because they finally could defeat this spirit beast. "Tang Ya, go for it." The pale purple-haired young man allowed the girl to kill and absorb the Datura Snake''s spirit ring. The girl named Tang Ya squealed in joy and replied, "Yay! Thank you, everyone." Tang Ya sent a decisive dagger strike to the Datura Snake''s eyes and killed the spirit beast instantly. She watched the emerging purple spirit ring with a giddy mood and couldn''t wait to absorb it. Thest youth in the group, a youngdy with flowing golden hair and two fluffy rabbit'' ears, shouted, "Who''s there!?" They immediately turned around and saw Scathach, gasping at the sight of her sudden appearance. They couldn''t even sense her presence as she was a few steps away from their ce. "Impressive," Scathach said while pping her hands. "Teamwork, decisive attack, and overall roles are disyed wonderfully. The blondie over there is probably ready to use a swift attack in case the Snake gets away, right?" "You''re scaring them." Huo Yuhao walked out of the shadow and stopped beside Scathach. "Draw back your presence, Shishou." "Oh, They are pressured with this amount of bloodlust? My bad then." Scathach responded while quickly drawing back her bloodlust and allowing the group of youths to breathe again. "W-Who are you?" The purple-haired young man asked while shielding Tang Ya from them, especially Scathach. This woman''s presence was beyond their levels. Qianye Ying''er plopped her head off Huo Yuhao''s back and answered, "We are the exchange student from Dragon Nest. Nice to meet you, Shrek Academy''s students." The four youths were shocked and stared at Huo Yuhao''s groups with even more solemn expressions. Huo Yuhao lifted his arm to show they weren''t enemies and slowly reassured them about it. "Let''s calm down first." Huo Yuhao said with a polite tone. "Like what mypanion has said, We are exchange students from the Dragon Nest Academy." "My name is Huo Yuhao." He continued with a peaceful smile. "Nice to meet you all." Chapter 57: Shocks and Worm? Chapter 57: Shocks and Worm? --- Chapter 57 --- After meeting with the Shrek Academy''s Students, Huo Yuhao defused the situation and exined the Dragon Nest''s Student Exchanging Program to them because the Shrek Academy''s representatives seemed not to announce it. For a short time, the mood lightened, and Huo Yuhao even offered to have lunch together. And Even though they are wary of Huo Yuhao''s groups, The Shrek Academy students still sit around a bonfire while eating grilled fish. "God, you''re scaring the living shit out of us!" The red-haired young man named Xu Sanshiined while biting on a grilled fish Huo Yuhao made. "By the way, this is so delicious~!" The leader of the group, the pale purple-haired young man from earlier, called Bei Bei. "Sanshi, please keep your manners." Heughed weakly and prepared an antidote for the worst scenario possible, eating the grilled fish with a surprised expression. "It is good." The cheerful youngdy Tang Ya had a cat-like expression the whole time and even devoured nine grilled fish already. She stared at Huo Yuhao with blinking star eyes like he was true humankind''s savior with his cooking skill, which left Huo Yuhao amused inside. "Huo Yuhao, if you open a restaurant in the future and let me eat for free, I''ll go there every day!" She said while giving him a thumbs up. "That''s a big IF because my life can''t be simple even if I wanted to." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently. Jiang Nannan, thest member of Shrek Academy''s group, had an intrigued face when eating Huo Yuhao''s grilled fish. She has been observing the mysterious blue-haired young man since meeting with him. ''His cooking skill is bizarre. How could a regr river fish be this good? He doesn''t even use any spices besides some sprinkle of salt.'' Jiang Nannan thought to herself. She wanted to know the secret of Huo Yuhao''s recipe, but he never showed anything special in the cooking process. Jiang Nannan gradually frowned and appeared apathetic in others'' eyes while staring at Huo Yuhao''s back solemnly. "What''s his secret..?" She muttered silently. Qianye Ying''er sat on a t rock and said, "This looks familiar for some reason, like a certain Spirit Engineer/cksmith at the Dragon Nest''s Labs. That guy achieved his dreamst year and still wanted to make a more powerful weapon." Scathach squealed happily after eating her disciple''s food and became interested in Qianye Ying''er statement. "Are you talking about Xiao Chen?" She asked naturally. "Obviously. There is only one Weapon Maniac in the Dragon Nest." Qianye Ying''er shrugged her slender shoulders. She giggled because Xiao Chen was probably doing something wild in his workshop. "Poor Ka, her teacher is one of a kind." "Well, It''s not like everyone in the Dragon Nest is normal." Scathach nodded and added, "That''s true." While eating the grilled fish and having a casual lunch, Tang Ya peeked into Huo Yuhao''s mask when he was eating the grilled fish. She witnessed a bit of Huo Yuhao''s face and became curious about his looks. Qianye Ying''er smirked and teased, "Do you want to see Yuhao''s face~? It''s not that big of a secret because you can ask him to lift it, you know." "Really?" Tang Ya gave Huo Yuhao a hopeful look. "Haha, Ying''er trapped you." Scathach gently chuckled while hearing her disciple''s defeated sigh. "I know you can ignore it, Yuhao. However, that pride of yours won''t allow it." Huo Yuhao watched everyone staring at him and slowly grasped the White Ogre Mask. He lifted the mask slowly, revealing his face to them. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi''s eyes widened like they were about to pop out of their sockets. The red-haired youth pped his friend''s shoulder and shouted, "Oh my fucking god! There is someone more handsome than you, Bei Bei!" Jiang Nannan dropped her grilled fish and whispered, "H-How could someone be... Be this good-looking and pleasing to one''s eyes?" Tang Ya literally passed out because of the shock, and Huo Yuhao couldn''t me them because Ancient Human''s charm enhanced with Divine Dragon and War Beast "extremely." boosted his appeals to others. His identity is not a big deal like what Qianye Ying''er has said beforehand. It is because none besides Dragon Nest''s members knows about it, but having a face mask always helps him from getting an annoying reaction. And for females of all ages, his charm could be a deadly weapon. That''s why the Qianye Ying''er cult has a dominant amount of female followers. Huo Yuhao ced White Ogre Mask back on and said, "You''ll get used to it soon. After all, We would meet each other quite often in the Shrek Academyter." "I-I don''t think we would..." Jiang Nannan replied instinctively, blushing slightly. Xu Sanshi''s face actually darkened when seeing Jiang Nannan''s expression, pushing him to dere, "I know we just met, but I have to warn you something, Yuhao. Nannan is mine!" "Who''s yours?" Jiang Nannan responded coldly. Huo Yuhao nonchntly waved his grilled fish and said, "Don''t worry, I won''t meddle with your couple drama. I have a fair share of fiancees already." "Fiance?? Just how old are you, Yuhao?" Beibei jokinglymented. "With that face and physical build, I believe you can have more than one hundred girlfriends." "Twelve." Huo Yuhao answered and ate his grilled fish. Like another bomb of shocking facts dropped, the Shrek Academy Students were shocked beyond return. They could only stare at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, hoping that it was just a yful joke from him, and unfortunately. It''s not a joke. "How??" Scathach decided to interfere and stated, "Dragon Nest''s special training method pushed one''s body to the limit, and students from Dragon Nest''s Academy naturally have older appearance than their real age. Even though Huo Yuhao was an exception, it still applies to everyone in ourmunity." "Dragon Nest is not an ordinary organization." She added while swaying her head proudly. It took an hour for the Shrek Academy''s students to calm themselves as they would never have thought the mysterious young man was three years younger than them. And Huo Yuhao hasn''t shown his cultivation realm yet. "W-What about the Fiancee part?" Tang Ya asked naturally, triggering another bomb on the field. Qianye Ying''er and Scathach looked at each other and smirked slightly, showing their left hand at Tang Ya. The youngdy from Shrek Academy slowly looked at the mysterious yet beautifuldies from Huo Yuhao''s group and saw breathtaking engagement rings on their fingers. "I-I can''t... It is too much, Beibei. Take Tang Sect''s n master spot from me." Tang Ya dramatically dropped onto Beibei''s chest like she was dying. Heck, even Xu Sanshi has his jaw hanging in pure amazement. Jiang Nannan stared at the beautiful engagement rings and muttered, "How lucky of you... Qianye Ying''er and Yang Xin." "You don''t know how hard it was for us to get this ring." Qianye Ying''er said with a wry smile. "We had toplete a thousand trials to be Huo Yuhao''s fiance. And no, I''m not joking." "It''s easy for me, though." Scathach continued, which made the corner of Qianye Ying''er mouth twitch in annoyance. Qianye Ying''er facepalmed and clicked her tongue, "I know you would have said that from miles away." "Get good, Ying''er." ... ... The lunch ended with several twists, and the Shrek Academy''s students became closer to Huo Yuhao''s group, despite the shocking parts. Tang Ya''s face was pale from the excessive twist of Huo Yuhao''s personal information, which was only surface level. ''What kind of face would they make if I revealed that I was Dragon Nest''s leader, but then... I can''t let them know about that, especially with Tang San''s influence around here.'' Huo Yuhao thought while closing his eyes. "Yuhao?" "Yuhao??" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and replied, "Yes." "What are you going to do after this? Our group will hunt in the Star Dou Forest for one more day because Jiang Nannan needs her fourth spirit ring." Beibei questioned while tying his shoe''sces. "We have another objective in the Star Dou Forest too, but the location is probably out of reach for you guys. It''s not going to take a day, but let''s separate from here." Huo Yuhao stretched his neck a little. "Soft Bone Rabbit? Here, a little gift from me." A purple rune stone flew to Jiang Nannan. "See you guyster." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and disappeared from their visions alongside Qianye Ying''er and Scathach, leaving a group of speechless youngsters. "T-This is..." Jiang Nannan''s hand trembled violently. Tang Ya recognized the infamous item in Jiang Nannan''s hand and shrieked in shock, "RUNE STONE!" "Just who are you, Huo Yuhao!?" After leaving the Shrek Academy''s group, Huo Yuhao led Qianye Ying''er and Scathach to a specific area on the Star Dou Forest''s outeryer. They arrived in five minutes, and Huo Yuhao told hispanions to hide their presence. "Wait here..." Huo Yuhao gradually activated the Eyes of the Lord and added Haoshoku Haki, creating a spiritual energy storm in the area. He waited for a few seconds and sensed a "sudden." movement underground. Cracks! The ground burst out with brilliant white light and a thinyer of frost, revealing a spirit beast. A plump yet round head appeared off the destroyed ground and connected to a slender meaty body over 7 meters. This spirit beast''s body possessed white jade color, sparkling with brilliant light under the shadow of a lush forest. A pair of eyes sparkling with golden light on its round head. And The most peculiar thing is that from half a meter away from its head at every segment, a circle-shaped gold pattern could be seen clearly. There are ten gold patterns from head to tail, signifying the cultivation stage of this spirit beast. "Finally~!" An excited feminine voicees from the Spirit Beast. "Oh, Heavens! Finally, I found a human with a Spiritual-Based Martial Soul. Little brother, this beautiful sister''s name is Tian Meng. I''m 1.000.000 years old spirit beast. Do you want to ept me as the first-ever intelligent Spirit Ring?" "Don''t be afraid. Big sister won''t bite you." Her voice somehow sounds desperate. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Sure." Chapter 58: Tian Meng and Yi Lai Ke Si Chapter 58: Tian Meng and Yi Lai Ke Si --- Chapter 58 --- "Eh??" "Wait, what?" Tian Meng stared at the young human before her with a surprised gaze because he agreed too smoothly, which caused 1.000.000 years old to be more suspicious inside. She gauged Huo Yuhao from top to bottom, finding nothing evil rted to him. "My mom. She saw you in the past." Huo Yuhao lied as casually as he breathed. With a smile, he added, "My mom can foresee the destiny and fate of someone, knowing you could help me. She hinted about a 1.000.000 years old Spirit Beast''s existence in the Star Dou Forest, and I put the pieces together." "T-There is such an amazing individual?" Tian Meng couldn''t believe her ears for a moment. However, that also exined how this bizarre young man could be this calm before her majestic presence. Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "Well, yeah." Even though Huo Yuhao lied about Huo Yun''er seeing this event and gave him hints about Tian Meng''s existence, thetter part of his statement is valid. And He could even ask Huo Yun''er to foresee someone''s destiny, but that would break the taboo of her ability. He gazed at the 1.000.000 years old Spirit Beast and smirked inside because she would be a perfect match for the Eyes of the Lord. "Do you need preparation? Also, Can I call you sister Meng then?" He asked with an innocent tone. "Uh... You can call me Sister Daydream or Sister Meng." Tian Meng was overwhelmed by Huo Yuhao''s innocent disy of character. She cleared her throat and said, "Ehem, I''ve prepared myself for years and can''t let this chance go away." "Do you know just how rare a Spiritual-Based Martial Soul is? I tried to be a Title Douluo''s spirit ring, and that person died because he couldn''t withstand my power. Hmph! How unfortunate." "And you, my little brother, are lucky because the previous failure showed me how to be the 1st ever conscious Spirit Ring." Tian Meng started to rant about how great her power was and even lied a little about how she gained her cultivation. She''s a "narcissistic." individual who could not lie very well, reminding Huo Yuhao of Naga when telling his "Epic." story. ''She would be a great friend with Naga.'' Huo Yuhao thought while sensing a spatial disturbance in the sky. The ck cloud gathered in the sky, turning the scenery more gloomy. "And finally, when we met with Bing''er, we could start our n to make you into A GOD." "Fuu... Let''s get started. And Before that, what''s your name, little brother?" The Skydream Ice Worm questioned, which made Huo Yuhaough uncontrobly. "Haha..." "Hahaha!" Huo Yuhao lifted his White Ogre Mask and replied, "My name is Huo Yuhao." "O-Oh, you have quite a handsome face." Tian Meng was dumbfounded because she didn''t know a human could be this pleasing to see. "I-It''s close enough to match this sister''s true beauty." She slowly approached Huo Yuhao with her round head and released gentle spiritual energy to fit the Eyes of the Lord. With a swift motion, Tian Meng brought out her essence and merged it with Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. Huo Yuhao frowned and used Haoshoku Haki to make things smoother because 1.000.000 years old Spirit Ring''s essence is no joking matter. He absorbed a 1.000.000 years old spirit ring to the Chains of Heavens and had to meditate for a month. BOOM! A thunderp echoed in the sky, and the spatial disturbance Huo Yuhao felt before became even more chaotic, creating a dimensional hole. He stayed still and waited for Tian Meng to sense it herself. "KYAA~!" A yelp of surprise escaped Tian Meng''s mouth. "W-WHO! WHO DARES TO DISTURB THIS SISTER!" BOOM! Like responding to Tian Meng''s enraged shouts, another loud thunderp appeared and made a piece of will descend toward them. The 1.000.000 years old Spirit Beast tried to fight the unknown force, but it was a futile attempt. Tian Meng created a spiritual shock that could fry one''s brain into nothingness, but the piece of will retaliated and entered Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. "HOW?!" She was speechless because this thing was more powerful than she expected. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao whistled casually inside and watched Tian Mang''s panicked actions. It''s amusing to see Tian Meng losing her mind over the piece of will. And that unknown force was known to be the scion of light before, so that reaction is understandable. [Name: Yi Lai Ke Si] [Type: Divine Spark(Weakened)] [Age: 20.000+ years old(Estimated)] [Description: Yi Lai Ke Si was once the holy woman and Scion of Light, but her life turned upside down after her lover and the whole world''s betrayal. Changing the cheerful woman into abandoning the light that once bathed her in radiance turned to darkness-seeking power to execute her revenge and to wipe out the human species. She was also known as the Cmity Necromancer Electrolux] Huo Yuhao sat on the ground and meditated to ept rampant energies from both forces. He breathed in and used Universal Breathing Technique to increase his mind''s activity. "Yuhao, you..." Tian Meng stared at Huo Yuhao with a surprised gaze. "You''re a Spirit Sage?!?! How could I not know about this?" The young man couldn''t be bothered for a moment because Yi Lai Ke Si''s Divine Spark is equal to or even more "powerful." than 1.000.000 years old Spirit Ring and replied, "I''ll exinter." "O-Okay." The Skydream Ice Worm could only awkwardly nod her head. Huo Yuhao''s Spirit Circuits grew and created thousands of sub-circuits, branching to all parts of his body. They are filled with pure Spirit Energy and refined thoroughly into pure strength under his skilled Breathing. Even with Ancient Human''s Body enhanced with Divine Dragon and War Beast''s inborn talent, the energy from Yi Lai Ke Si''s Divine Spark was still excessive, showing just how powerful she was when in the past. "W... Where am I?" A confused yet dreaded voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. A ball of gray-colored light floated calmly above his Spiritual Energy''s reservoirs, glowing with a dim ebony hue. Huo Yuhao didn''t expect the infamous teacher of the original Huo Yuhao would be a woman in this world. It''s just like Tian Meng, whose gender was altered when he searched her location with RISU''s radar. "Recovery your Divine Spark first. Let''s talk when you''re able tomunicate properly." Huo Yuhao added a Primordial Rune he learned from Scathach to iste and nourish the Cmity Necromancer Electrolux''s Divine Spark to recover using his Spiritual Energy. The gray-colored lights flickered when sensing the Primordial Rune and replied, "Thank you..." "You''re wee." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and said, "Sister Daydream, you can do it now. Don''t worry about the unknown force because I''ve dealt with it already." "Really?" Tian Meng was happy. That annoying gray soul wanted to take over her host''s spiritual sea, so how could she not be happy when hearing he was alright? "Yeah." A chucklees from Huo Yuhao. "I''m ready to ept your Spirit Ring, and let''s be good partners for each other, Sister Daydream." Cough! "W-What are you talking about, Rascal?!" Tian Meng yelled because of the way Huo Yuhao praised his replies. She puffed her round cheeks, which appeared to be so adorable. The spirit beast doesn''t realize that she looks like a round marshmallow with some blush. "H-Hmph! I found my true love years ago." Huo Yuhao tilted his head and teased, "What are you talking about, Sister Daydream? Since you''re going to be my first Spirit Ring for my martial soul, isn''t it normal for me to hope for a good partnership as an equal partner? You were thinking about something dirty, didn''t you?" "Y-You... No, I''m not!" Tian Meng blushed even more while knocking her head onto Huo Yuhao. "Take my spirit ring, you rascal!" "Sure, sure~." Huo Yuhao allowed the Skydream Ice Worm to pass through his Haki''s Defense and merged herself with the Eyes of the Lord''s martial soul. It would be a long process because Tian Meng doesn''t seal her essence to match Huo Yuhao like in the original story, but he prepared for it. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er watched Huo Yuhao''s interaction with the 1.000.000 years old spirit beast. "Mistress wouldn''t like this. Huo Yuhao was somehow able to obtain another woman within a few hours of the journey." The former youngdy frowned. "It''s two women, to be exact," Scathach casuallymented because she could sense Cmity Necromancer Electrolux, a familiar presence to the people from the Land of Shadows. "I haven''t thought about it, but is it possible to connect my domain to this world?" "As long as I have the Primordial Key Rune, I should be able to open the Gate of Skye." The only thing that stopped Scathach from doing so was Counter Force''s intervention and this world''s Gods. Qianye Ying''er rocked Scathach''s shoulder gently and questioned, "What do you mean by two, Teacher?" "Hmm... Huo Yuhao will tell youter." Scathach gave the blondie a smug smile. ... ... After an hour, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bright azure-colored gems. A mystic hue on his pupils, shimmering with golden light. "Perfect." One word ising from his mouth. [Eyes of the Lord] [1st Spirit Ring] [Name: Tian Meng] [Species: Spirit Beast/Living Spirit Ring] [Age: 1.000.000 years old] [Description: Skydream Ice Worm or Tian Meng is Huo Yuhao''s first living spirit ring, she has Ice Element and Mental Attributes with extreme dominion over spiritual energy] [Spirit Skills: Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Resonance, Spiritual Shock, Spiritual Interference] Huo Yuhao doesn''t use his Haki and could see everything within a 2 km radius with such detail. Falling raindrops from lush green leaves, a butterfly pping its wings gently, and the air current around the Star Dou Forest. He felt like he was the ruler of this world. "Yuhao?" "Huh?" Scathach and Qianye Ying''er were caught by Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Resonance, allowing them to see what he witnessed right now. They gasped in surprise for a moment because even Kennbunshoku Haki couldn''t cover such arge domain. Even though the Kenbunshoku Haki let them see the future by predicting the iing movement, Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Detection was on a whole other level. Scathach pondered andmented, "Huo Yuhao''s skill slowed down the perception of time. Perceives every detail in the environment, including muscle movements, motion vectors, spirit power, and distance to objects to the extreme boundary." "It''s just like..." "Eyes of the God." Qianye Ying''er solemnly continued. A pure white spirit ring with ten golden marks floated beside Huo Yuhao and manifested a golden-haired youngdy in a white worm-like hoodie. She was no more than 17 with mid-length golden hair and a great figure covered by her clothes. "Hehehe~! What do you think?" Tian Meng proudly puffed her chest. "My abilities are awesome, right." "As expected of you, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao fed Tian Meng with praises, making her face beam with smugness. Tian Meng grabbed Huo Yuhao''s shoulders with her ethereal hands and confidently dered, "Little Brother Yuhao. Mark my words, I''ll definitely turn you into A God~!" Chapter 59: Extreme North Chapter 59: Extreme North --- Chapter 59 --- "What?" "What did you say?!" Tian Meng tried to rock Huo Yuhao''s body back and forth, but since her current state was merely an ethereal form powered by her spiritual energy, she couldn''t move the immovable young man. "You heard it correctly, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhaoughed yfully. "I''m going to beat the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor into submission. Her 400.000 years old strength is enough to be a reasonable gauge for my sealed powers." "T-Then, what about my n?" Tian Meng sounds desperate because she hasn''t seen her beloved Bing Bing for a while. It''s been years since she saw the Ice Emperor of the Extreme North, hoping she could convince the ranked 8th Cmity. Huo Yuhao gave her an amused look and returned, "Your n isn''t going to work well without proof. Ice Emperor is the second strongest being in the Extreme North, and like her title, words aren''t going to sway her thought easily." Tian Meng was dumbfounded and pondered for a moment because Huo Yuhao''s statement was true. A powerful spirit beast like Ice Emperor won''t get convinced easily, so having a more fail-proof method would make this easier." "Still, you''re just a Spirit Sage, Little Brother." "Even if you have twin martial souls-." "I''m not just a mere Spirit Sage, trust me." Huo Yuhao called the Chains of Heaven to the real world, causing Tian Meng''s eyes to widen in shock. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and watched six crimson spirit rings floating around her young host. The seventh spirit ring appeared, and her jaw dropped immediately. "N-No way..." Huo Yuhao grinned at Tiang Meng and teased, "Surprise~! You''re not my first 1.000.000 years old spirit ring." "Kuugh... M-My pride. How could break this sister''s pride like this, Yuhao." Tian Meng dramatically fell onto the ground and even created light to focus on herself with spiritual energy. Huo Yuhao shrugged and called, "Come here, Skye." SWOOSH! Tian Meng saw Huo Yuhao''s shadows expanding on the corner of her eyes and felt the presence of the Great Beast, no weaker than the Ice Emperor. She turned around and witnessed a shadowy dragon with azure mes on its body. "Shishou, Ying''er. We have done the first step, so let''s go to the Extreme North." Huo Yuhao called over hispanions. "What are you-." Tiang Meng was confused and saw two beautiful youngdies appear out of thin air. She hated to admit it, but their appearances rivaled hers. "Heh." Scathach looked down on Tian Meng and observed the Sky Dream Ice Worm with a curious look. "You''re not bad for a worm. To have so much Spiritual Energy that could match my dear student is rare." "How did you see me??" Qianye Ying''er giggled since Tian Meng was shocked because someone beside Huo Yuhao could see her ethereal form. Spirit Circuits enhanced the usage of the Universal Breathing Technique, allowing one to boost all five senses and even grant innate ability based on the individual. "Well, she would get used to itter." She approached Skye and patted the dragon on the head. ... ... Huo Yuhao''s group flew to the Extreme North of the Douluo Continent with Skye''s help, coursing through the atmosphere quickly. "Dragon Nest..." Tian Meng rested her miniature form on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. "So you''re the leader of this super secret organization?" Huo Yuhao nodded and replied casually, "Yeah." "It''s not a big deal, Sister Daydream." "IT''S A BIG DEAL!" She returned with a pout. Tian Meng adorably beat Huo Yuhao''s shoulder a few times, but she couldn''t affect him physically like before. She was annoyed because her host was so casual about everything. "Ah, I forgot to tell you about this, Sister Daydream. I have three martial souls, not just two." Huo Yuhao suddenly added, which left Tian Meng speechless. "Y-You..." Tian Meng was fuming, and Huo Yuhao chuckled even more after teasing her, humming throughout the journey to the Extreme North. On the second note, Even though Huo Yuhao could have met the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the Star Dou Forest sooner, he wasn''t sure about the beast''s background because Tang San was her father technically. ording to Douluo Dalu 2''s story, Tang San sealed half of his daughter''s consciousness and soul into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which Huo Yuhao couldn''t understand the reason for even until now. Divine beings like a god shouldn''t meddle with the lower realm, they say? What a load of crap. "What a jerk." Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. "Hmm, did you say something?" Scathach nced at her student. He smiled at her and returned, "Nothing." Skye''s speed suddenly became slower, and everyone noticed that. "What happened, Skye?" Huo Yuhao asked his shadow general. "My lord, we have reached the Extreme North," Skye responded while reducing the height, letting Huo Yuhao and others see the scenery of uncorrupted white snowynd. "Woah..." Qianye Ying''er covered her mouth in surprise. "What a rare scenery to see," Scathach added while observing the purend filled with snow. She couldn''t help but smile when seeing this new part of Douluo Continent. "Unfortunately, Dragon Nest only has a vast icend with artificially-made snow." Huo Yuhao smirked and said, "We can fix thatter." "Skye, drop us at the outeryer of Extreme North. We''ll move on foot because we have the best native navigator for this ce." "Sister Daydream, you''ll help us, no?" "H-Hmph, like I could reject your request." Tian Meng swayed her head away. Huo Yuhao poked Tian Meng''s left cheek with his finger, "I''ll show you something extraordinaryter. It would definitely shock you to the core." "We will see about that." As the Azure Sky Dragon dropped them on the Extreme North''s entrance, Huo Yuhao pressed a button on clothes and changed the fabric into pure white like snow. "This ce is quite cold." Hemented while adding Stealth Rune on himself. "It''s a ce called Extreme North. What do you expect?" Tian Meng rolled her eyes. Huo Yuhao ced the White Ogre Mask and replied, "Well, it''s going to be a good ce for training. Anyway, Sister Daydream, please show us the way." Tian Meng jumped off Huo Yuhao''s shoulder and returned to her original size. "Follow me." She said while flying forward. Huo Yuhao used Universal Breathing Technique and felt the cold air entering his lung. The Spirit Circuits activated rapidly, turning the cold energy into a warm sensation that spread all over his body. "Let''s go." He nced at Scathach and Qianye Ying''er, who responded with a nod. They followed Tian Meng and surprised her with their incredible speed, moving lightly above the snow without creating foot marks. The Skydream Ice Worm frowned and increased her pace, but the three humans could follow her easily. After a few kilometers, Tian Meng stopped because they were near the inner area of the Extreme North. She looked around for a moment and wondered for a shortcut to find the Ice Emperor faster. "Is there a problem?" Huo Yuhao asked while puffing white steam from his mouth. Tian Meng rubbed her chin and replied, "I''m thinking about a shortcut. You covered yourself with a weird technique before, no? Does it mask your presence?" "Yes." Qianye Ying''er answered for Huo Yuhao. "Stealth Rune allowed the caster to cover one''s presence for three hours. It masks all kinds of things, including smell and aura." "Great~!" An excited grin appeared on Tian Meng''s face. "We''ll take a shortcut through Ice Devil Titan''s domain. He shouldn''t be able to sense us with his dull spiritual sense." They moved again and immediately entered the Ice Devil Titan''s Domain, encountering several giant-sized beasts with human-like appearances on the way. After running for fifteen minutes, Scathach tilted her head and saw an enormous shadow. "Oh, wow. What a big guy." She said casually. [Name: Ice Devil Titan] [Species: Titan/Spirit Beast] [Age: 269.000 years old] [Description: The Ice Devil Titans live in cold environments and are descendants of the Titan Giant n, with Ice God''s Blood flowing in their veins] [Ice Devil Titans are over ten meters tall at birth. Adult Ice Devil Titans are over fifty meters tall, and The Ice Devil Titan King is over a hundred meters tall. He''s most likely the rgest." living creature on the Douluo Continent] The Ice Devil Titan King had a very simr build to humans. It had long yet slender arms, and snowy white fur covered its entire body. Even its face had somewhat resemnce features to humans, except there were many wrinkles on its forehead, and its skin had a copper tint. It had tworge fangs, and those two fangs showed its true colors as a spirit beast. "Damn, Boy! He''s Th." Huo Yuhaomented while looking at the enormous being before him. Tian Meng''s face became pale, "Oh no..." "Run-!" "Toote!!" Huo Yuhao and Scathach jumped, soaring toward the enormous beast. The Ice Devil Titan King enjoyed the scenery of the Extreme North and walked around his yground, seeing two ants-like creatures approach him. He frowned and released his beastly aura toward them, but they became even faster for some reason. "Hello there, big guy." Huo Yuhao pulled his entire left arm to the back. "What about rock paper scissors?" "Here, take my rock." Tian Meng watched her host throwing a punch and closing her eyes tight because she didn''t want to see Ice Devil Titan King kill him. "Prating Fist." "Gae Bolg: Halve." SWOOSH! BAM! CRACK! BOOOOM! "Eh?" She slowly opened her eyes and saw the infamous Ice Devil Titan King falling to the ground, creating massive avnches in every direction. "Hehe, Do you think Huo Yuhao is weak?" Qianye Ying''er giggled on the side. "He''s the absolute ruler of the Dragon Nest, and people call him by many titles, but one should be enough to make you understand the base of his power." "Huo Yuhao, The Blue-Eyed Dragon King." Chapter 60: Ice Emperor Chapter 60: Ice Emperor --- Chapter 60 --- BOOM! The Extreme North was suddenly shaken by a powerful tremor, sending the snow to the sky and scattering the area in chaos. The source of this was Ice Devil Titan King who fell after receiving two abnormal human attacks. "Oh, well. You should have used paper." Huo Yuhao descended from the sky andnded on the enormous beast''s chest. [Ice Devil Titan King(Dizzy)] Huo Yuhao saw the status of the Ice Devil Titan King and smiled because this guy was so tough to receive Shishou and his attacks and only got dizzy. "What a guy." He chuckled and activated the War Beast''s sub-race. "That''s why your blood is gonna be a fine addition to my War Beast''s race." Tian Meng and every Spirit Beast within a 1km radius trembled when sensing the wild beast''s aura from the Ice Devil Titan''s body. Even with the Stealth Rune, Huo Yuhao''s presence was like a beacon of power against Spirit Beast with wild instinct. "W-What''s that..?" The Skydream Ice Worm looked at the monster on top of Ice Devil Titan King''s Chest. A human-like beast stood around 8ft with pale skin and long white hair tied in a ponytail surrounding his slender yet muscr physique. Thick white furs, like an animal pelt, covered his whole body, which took the form of clothes. There are also cloaks made of feathers floating around the creature, gleaming with ck luster. (An: He looks like 41st Shin Yoosung from ORV) [War Beast''s Form(Heavenly Demon Change)] [Allowed the host to transform into Humanoid Beast with a White Tiger-like appearance as the base, enhancing all attributes by 399% based on the Races added to White Beast''s Race] [Races(+)] [Great White Tiger(Metal/Light)] [Abyssal Roc(Darkness/Wind)] [Elder Phoenix(Fire)] [ck Tortoise(Water)] [Taotie(Earth)] [Wood Fairy(Wood)] [Mythical Qilin(Luck)] [Divine Fox(Destiny) Huo Yuhao lifted his w-like finger and pierced Ice Devil Titan King''s chest, absorbing the blood supposed to have Ice God''s lineage. He could feel an extreme coldness yet pure strengthing from the beast''s blood and merged it with War Beast''s race. [You have taken the Ice Titan Devil''s Blood] [Please wait three months for War Beast''s Race to digest and absorb the blood] "That''s longer than I expected." Huo Yuhao patted the small prick with Wood Fairy''s nourishment, healing the dizzy spirit beast from his punch. "There, you all good, buddy." "Thanks for the blood." He deactivated the War Beast''s form and said, "Evo, use 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket to hasten the process." [Utilizing 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket to hasten the War Beast''s absorption process] [Please wait 30 minutes for War Beast''s Race to digest and absorb the blood] "That''s much better." A satisfied chuckle escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. Scathach stepped on the Ice Devil Titan''s chest after ying with the snow around the enormous beast. She threw a snowball at her student and watched him catch it casually, smirking because Huo Yuhao War Beast''s senses improved again. "Yuhao, should I add more Restriction Runes on your body? I assume thest one has be easier." Scathach questioned with a grin. Under Huo Yuhao''s clothes, she could see aplex amount of Restrictions Runes in the shape of scarlet Ouroboros. There are 12 segments of the Ouroboros''s tattoo, meaning Huo Yuhao has twelve seals on his body. ''And each segment has at least 50 Restriction Runes, which could turn Spirit Sage into a useless mess because their spirit energy and physical strengths would getpletely sealed, turning them into a weakened human. However, my beloved student is different because 12 segments aren''t enough to restrict him. His body is like a constantly evolving star with boundless potential.'' Scathach licked her lips because Huo Yuhao might be able to kill her with his full power. After all, with 12 seals off, Huo Yuhao could tap the power of gods. Huo Yuhao chuckled when hearing Scathach''sment about the Restrictions Runes. And she wasn''t wrong because he could feel his body be lighter thanst week. After killing so many Spirit Beasts in the Advalon and currently absorbing Ice Devil Titan''s blood, the Restriction Runes becking a little. "Go for it, Shishou. You can add two more seals." He said with a challenging tone because his Spirit Energy would get reduced to a mere Spirit Grandmaster after it. Scathach walked toward Huo Yuhao and had Primordial Runes floating above her right palm. She lifted her student''s shirt and gently caressed his abs for a moment. "There! That should be enough for now." She said while looking at the two added segments of the Ouroboros''s tattoo on Huo Yuhao''s upper left chest. "Uuh... That wasn''t so bad." Huo Yuhao felt heavier and moved around for a moment to adapt to new restrictions. "Well, let''s go down. The big guy should awake from his dizziness now." They jumped off Ice Devil Titan King''s chest and ran toward Qianye Ying''er. Huo Yuhao noticed Tian Meng''s dumbfounded expression and smirked inside because his previous feats shocked her. Tian Meng clutched Huo Yuhao''s shoulders and asked, "H-How could you, a Spirit Sage, punch Ice Devil Titan King with such ease?!" "Training, Sister Daydream. I''ve been training for six years straight with "extreme." intensity, and people usually won''t survive." Huo Yuhao shrugged while adjusting his Universal Breathing Technique. "Anyway, let''s meet the Ice Emperor." "Hehe, I told you already~." Qianye Ying''er snickered on the side. They moved to another side of Extreme North with Tian Meng''s help. Even though the Skydream Ice Worm received too many shocks, she was still determined to make the Ice Emperor join her n to make Huo Yuhao a god. It''s a way that bypasses Divine Realm''s biasedw that restricts Spirit Beast from ascending godhood. "We are here." Tian Meng solemnly watched and that parted between ice and snow. She wiped her forehead nervously and used her spiritual energy to scan the area. "Huo Yuhao, can you lend me your spiritual energy for a moment? I wanted to use my presence to lure Bing Bing." "Take as much as you want, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao doesn''t have a reason to say no. Tian Meng dived into Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea and created a spiritual copy of herself, but purely made of her host''s spiritual energy. A golden silhouette parallel to Huo Yuhao and Tiang Meng''s looks manifested in the air, releasing Skydream Ice Worm''s presence in the Ice Emperor''s Domain. "Come here, Bing Bing. I know you''re here." A smile slowly appeared on the golden silhouette face. SWOOSH! BOOM! "Tian Meng..." A cold voice akin to Pure Ice echoed from the depth of Snowy Land, revealing a jade-like creature to the world. "You''re still alive?" "You worm, how dare youe here after eating those Ice Essences. You GLUTTONOUS WORM!" BOOM! As the snow suddenly exploded and was blown away by the Ice Emperor''s power, everyone could see a beautiful spirit beast with a unique appearance. [Name: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion] [Species: Spirit Beast/Royal Ice] [Age: 399.999 years old] [Description: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, or what people know as the Ice Emperor, possessed an Absolute Ice element. She is the second strongest out of the Arctic kings of the Extreme North and is ranked 8th amongst the continent''s top 10 Cmities] The Ice Emperor was roughly 1.5 meters long. The Ice Emperor was a scorpion with two dominant color schemes, One was the color of ice, and the other was a jade green color. Its head pletely." was covered with a jade-like glow, and its silver-white mouth shone with an ominous, cold light. The Ice Emperor also has two pinchers around one meter long with strange diamond-like hexagonal bumps, having mirror-like texture at the tips. It also has a long tail with five segments and an "extremely." sharp stinger at the end. And A pair of yellow diamond eyes stared at Tian Meng with indifference, making the Skydream Ice Worm tremble in excitement. "My beautiful Bing Bing~!" Tian Ming finally met her love life again. "You''reing to die, huh?" The Ice Emperor released the Absolute Ice element and wanted to blow Tian Meng away, but the 1.000.000 spirit beast was ready. Tian Meng slowly grinned and created an orb of Huo Yuhao''s spiritual energy, sealing the Ice Emperor in a trap that won''t break easily. She tapped the Golden Orb and whispered, "We''ll be together again, Bing Bing~." "YOU BASTARD-!" The Ice Emperor yelled before getting shut up by Tian Mengpletely. Huo Yuhao summoned the Chain of Heavens and created wormholes to transport them away from this ce. He doesn''t need to wait for Tian Meng''s order because this ce isn''t suitable for his uing fight with the Ice Emperor. BOOM! Theynded outside the Extreme North and created a crater because of the Ice Emperor''s sheer strength. Tian Ming was taken aback and saw her host giving a thumbs up. "You can talk with the Ice Emperor first, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao shouted while taking a beef jerky from his inventory. "I''ll wait for my turn here." Tian Meng nodded and replied, "Okay." She created a hole in the Golden Prison and saw piercing jade lighting. It passed Tian Meng''s spiritual manifestation and sealed thend behind her in Absolute Ice. "Chill, Bing Bing. Chill..." She couldn''t help but shake her head. The Ice Emperor huffed and growled, "Why are you doing this, Tian Meng?" "Bing Bing, I want you to join my super duper genius n. After reaching 1.000.000 years old and thinking for so long, I''vee up with a brilliant idea. I WANTED TO MAKE A GOD!" Tian Meng dered with a proud look on her face. The Ice Emperor frowned and returned, "Make a god? Are you insane?" "Of course not." The Skydream Ice Worm giggled. "Bing Bing, what do you think about humans?" "At first, they were weak, but their potential and desire drove them to be stronger. 10.000 years ago, you felt it, right? The sky changed abruptly, and A God was Born." "That''s why I wanted to replicate that by turning myself into an intelligent Spirit Ring. We could make a human god with our strength." "With my current host, whose potential is probably the highest in the world, I''m 69.69% sure we could turn him into a full-fledged God. And with your help, my beautiful BingBing. We could raise that chance even more." "Hmph, you would only make your host explode before he could even be stronger." The Ice Emperor sneered because Tian Meng''s n was bound to fail. "Is that so? Little Brother Yuhao, this sister needs your help a little." Tian Meng called over her host. Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and arrived on their sides instantly. "Nice to meet you, Ice Emperor." He lifted his mask. "My name is Huo Yuhao." "You said I''d explode, but that won''t happen because Sister Daydream''s 1.000.000 essence couldn''t affect me. I''ve absorbed her essence and stored it in my body, allowing me to grasp four of her spirit skills." "Not to mention..." Huo Yuhao summoned Chains of Heaven''s spirit rings. "I''m not your typical human." The Ice Emperor''s yellow eyes widened because seven spirit rings emerged from thin air. She broke through Tian Meng''s barrier and approached Huo Yuhao. "How is that possible?" "Y-You have six crimson spirit rings and one 1.000.000 years old..." Huo Yuhao lifted his White Ogre Mask and answered, "I just built differently." "What about a little contest?" "Contest." The Ice Emperor is still thinking about the pros and cons of Tian Meng''s n. It sounds ridiculous because the Skydream Ice Worm wanted to make a god, but this human is beyond "normal." standards. Huo Yuhao released his Haoshoku Haki and continued, "We''ll fight here and prove each other''s strength. And the loser should agree to the winner''s wish." "You can use your full power." "What an arrogant human..." The Ice Emperor waved the stinger around Huo Yuhao''s head. "Are you sure you can handle my noble power?" "Who knows? We haven''t started the fight yet." Huo Yuhao returned with confidence. The Ice Emperor suddenly released an ice st at Huo Yuhao, and he stayed in the position with a smirk. The ice wave swept over the area, but one spot burned with intense heat. A purple me covered Huo Yuhao''s body, burning with draconic presence. "Those spirit rings..." The Ice Emperor crossed the pincers and saw five purple-gold spirit rings around Huo Yuhao. A faint image of an enormous dragon appeared behind Huo Yuhao, overshadowing the sky with his might. It released a presence that made the Douluo Continent shudder for a moment. "Naga''s Thunderfire... Violet Supernova." A concentrated purple ray escaped Huo Yuhao''s body and swept over the Ice Emperor, burning the ground to nothingness. BOOM!!! COUGH! "A-Are you even a human..?" The Ice Emperor was in bad condition because Thunderfire somehow countered her Absolute Ice. She could have died because Huo Yuhao''s attack melted her outer shell. Huo Yuhao stepped before the Ice Emperor and patted the spirit beast''s head a few times. "What do you think, Ice Emperor? Am I strong enough~?" He said with a yful tone. "Tian Meng, what kind of monster are you bringing here..." A painful groan came from the Ice Emperor. Chapter 61: Divine Throne Chapter 61: Divine Throne --- Chapter 61 --- Tian Meng raised her nose high and dered, "MUAHAHAHA~! DO YOU SEE THAT!" "My little brother Yuhao is so strong~!" "Stop bragging, you stupid worm..." The Ice Emperor groaned in annoyance while getting healed by Qianye Ying''er. She stared at Huo Yuhao with a solemn gaze because no normal should be able to injure her, and even Title Doulou is no exception. After a while, the Ice Emperor slowly opened her mouth and continued, "Fine, I''d join your n to make this young human a god. I''ve witnessed his prowess and believed he could be a powerful god." "Yey, Bing Bing~! You won''t regret your decision!" Tian Meng hugged the Ice Emperor''s tail excitedly. "Get away from me!" The Ice Emperor waved her tail andunched Tian Meng away. Huo Yuhao smiled because individuals like the Ice Emperor "easily." were convinced with brute force. Even though the Skydream Ice Worm''s words worked in the original story, it would take too long and pull so many attractions. ''Evo, is your Stealth Mode still on?'' He asked the system because a god might have been observing them. [Yes, Host] Evo answered immediately. [Stealth Mode is still on] [You don''t have to worry about the Gods in the Divine Realm because the system has created a shield to cover your presence] "Good." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief because he didn''t want to deal with Tang San at his current level. He moved his gaze to Scathach and Qianye Ying''er because they also received a Stealth Mode from the Dragon Nest Management System. And To be fair, all Dragon Nest''s members also gained this "critical." privilege. Even though Divine Beings could gaze on Dragon Nest''s members, they wouldn''t be able to spy on the secret behind it. He walked to Scathach and requested, "Shishou, can you create a bounded field around us? The next step of our n would be a little chaotic." Scathach nodded and replied, "Umu. Leave it to me." She grasped her right hand and released two Primordial Runes to seal the area around them. After creating a bounded field, she added Stealth and Mist Runes to confuse people who wanted to approach this ce. "Still amazing as always." Qianye Ying''ermented while looking at Scathach. "Woah, What''s this ability?" Tian Meng felt the space around them closed by a mysterious power. Even the Ice Emperor didn''t know about such an ability. Humans are such extraordinary living beings. Huo Yuhao approached the Ice Emperor and brought out a blue orb with pure water elements inside it. It caught Tian Meng and the Ice Emperor off guard because they could feel Spirit Beast''s living essence. "Bing Di. This orb is Water Luan Bird''s living essence." He exined to them calmly. "An artificial spirit beast created using Spirit Beast''s gene. Dragon Nest is trying to find a way to transnt a 2nd martial soul to a Spirit Master, but We can''t do it without a functional soul." [Name: Water Luan Bird''s Essence] [Type: Artificial Spirit Beast/Core] [Age: 150.000 years old] [Description: Water Luan Bird''s Essence is Artificial Spirit Beast''s Core by growing Spirit Beast''s gene using Life Incubator, which injects genes into a sterile artificial egg and nourishes it with Life Energy] [Even though Artificial Spirit Beast''s Core is considered Spirit Beast, they are just pure essence generated from the growing gene without Innate Soul/Consciousness] "I know Sister Daydream has a way for that by transnting your inner core and essence to me, but that wouldn''t smoothly work because I have three martial souls. My Spiritual Sea was way too crowded already." "However, I won''t give up." "Eh, Yuhao... Don''t tell me." Tian Meng gazed at her host with a speechless look. Huo Yuhao nodded and added, "I know someone that could help me create my 4th Martial Soul. She should be awake now after receiving nourishment from my spiritual sea." "Are you talking about me..?" A calm female voicees from the depth of Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. It caused Tian Meng to yelp in surprise because she recognized this overwhelming presence. "How was the nap, Electrolux?" Huo Yuhao returned casually. "It''s good. Even though I can''t remember anything about my past life, my consciousness has enough power to recall thest moment of it." A ghastly ball of light floated in Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. "So... You wanted my help? I don''t know who you are, but I''m indebted to you." "Wait, wait. Then, why is the Water Luan Bird''s living essence important in this matter?" Ice Emperor suddenly questioned, to which Huo Yuhao responded with augh. He nced at the Ice Emperor and replied, "Bing Di, you''re close to 400.000 years old, no? Do you want to be stronger and evolve at the same time? If you absorbed this Water Luan Bird''s living essence, in theory, you could turn into Ice Phoenix." "I-Ice Phoenix..." Tian Meng looked at the Ice Emperor and imagined her beauty after gaining a pair of wings. She couldn''t help but be excited inside. "As for you, Electrolux. I need your help to condense and form my 4th martial soul." Huo Yuhao continued, which caused the Ghastly ball of light to flicker for a moment. "Very well. I''ll help you." A calm responsees from the necromancer. With that confirmation, Huo Yuhao threw the Water Luan Bird''s living essence at the Ice Emperor because only her decision would matter now. Everything is ording to the n so far. "Bing Di, make your choices." The Ice Emperor silently stared at the small orb before her and used her pincher to grab it. She felt the pure water elementing from it and said, "Tian Meng. If my life ends here, I''ll haunt your life forever." "W-wait, what! I did nothing wrong!" Tian Meng shouted back at how ridiculous the Ice Emperor was. She doesn''t notice it, but the scorpion smiles at her when absorbing the Water Luan Bird''s Essence. A water-like cocoon surrounded the Ice Emperor''s body and released dim ice-blue light. Everyone stared at the cocoon with great interest, but Huo Yuhao told them the Ice Emperor would be okay because Water Luan Bird''s Essence is gentle. "Let''s focus on my 4th martial soul''s problem." Huo Yuhao sat on the ground and discussed the problem with everyone, especially Tian Meng and Electrolux. "After experimenting with great difficulties, I can create the prototype of Martial Soul with my Shishou''s help. We wasted 1.000.000 years'' worth of resources to make it happen, but it was only an embryo of the real one." He suddenly ced his hand in the air and created a wormhole. A ck-light dropped from the wormhole and caught everyone''s attention. It was a ck throne that seemed made of cracked stone with several Primordial Runes engraved on it, shining with several colors of the fundamentalw. There are several carved beast-like patterns all over the seats. [Name: Soul Throne(Unawakened)] [Type: Soul Artifacts/Martial Soul(Embryo)] [Grade: SSS+] [Description: Soul Throne is an artificial tool-type martial soul based on "Asauchi." from Bleach Universe and made with an extreme amount of Heavenly Materials. By using the Primordial Rune, Soul Throne mimicked Huo Yuhao''s soul and developed an unawakened Spirit] The Electrolux stared at the throne and muttered, "Divine Throne... To Think I would see something simr to the Divine Throne again, what a coincidence." "Yuhao, can I borrow your body?" "Request denied. I can''t let someone else take my disciple''s body." Scathach went full defensive because she didn''t know what Electrolux would do to Huo Yuhao. "Yeah, no! I won''t tolerate you for taking my host." Tian Meng added with a frown. Everyone seemed to be against Electrolux''s request, but Huo Yuhao calmed them down. If there is a person who could help them turn the throne into a martial soul, it would be Electrolux because her knowledge and mastery over the soul are the best. "Don''t worry. Electrolux, you won''t harm me, right?" He asked the Ghastly ball of light. Electrolux''s light ball flickered and replied. "Yes, I only wanted to feel the throne. After examining it by myself, I might be able to help you." With a sigh, everyone agreed to let Electrolux take over Huo Yuhao''s body for a moment. They watched the young man''s blue eyes turn ghastly gray with a menacing silverish-dark aura spreading from his skin. It''s like the God of Death descended to the mortal world. Since Electrolux was a small piece of her divine consciousness, Scathach wondered how strong this woman was at her peak. Electrolux walked toward the throne with Huo Yuhao''s body and caressed the seat. Tearse down from her eyes because heartbreaking emotions resurface inside. Even though the Cmity Necromancer Electrolux couldn''t remember anything, she could feel faint betrayal. "Ah... How infuriating. I cried, but about what?" Sorrowful cries escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. However, it was the voice of a sad woman. "My memories..." "I can''t remember them." "Even my name, I can''t remember it." "It''s okay... You can make new memories here." Huo Yuhao said while hugging the necromancer from behind. He gave the Ghastly ball of light a warmth, calming the broken divine consciousness. After five minutes, Electrolux left Huo Yuhao''s body and thanked him for soothing her. "Thank you, Yuhao." She said while floating in the Spiritual Sea. "You''re wee." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile. Electrolux shook her current body and stared at the ck throne with a calm gaze. She has found a way to help Huo Yuhao turn this thing into a martial soul. "I know a way, but It would consume your spiritual energy or even deplete it to zero. The percentage of sess is around 50%. Do you really trust me to do this?" "Yeah. I have a stroke of good luck on my side." Huo Yuhao smiled while sitting on the throne. Electrolux exined the way to Huo Yuhao and others, leaving Scathach silent for a moment because the necromancer was more knowledgeable than she thought. To think a mere divine consciousness could manipte spiritual energy in such a way is absurd. "First, we needed an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy to activate the throne''s embryo soul, giving it soul-like essence that could be one with Huo Yuhao." "Second, I need Huo Yuhao to create a connection to the throne." "The process wouldn''t be instant, which means Huo Yuhao had to endure a lot of pain because adding something to your soul is akin to shoving an unknown object to calm water. It would create chaos in your Spiritual Sea, Yuhao." "My pain resistance is quite high. And Shishou''s training has made me numb to it basically." Huo Yuhao casually stated. Electrolux gave Huo Yuhao a quiet look and continued, "Third and final step. I''ll be Yuhao''s first spirit ring to stabilize his 4th martial soul." "Are there any of you who wanted to add your thoughts to my n?" Scathach lifted her hand and said, "Swear with your soul that you''d help Huo Yuhao. No, let''s make an oath with my Primordial Rune." "If you say so," Electrolux replied whileing out of Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. Scathach hovered her hand above the Ghastly ball of light and ced an unknown rune that "no one knows." on Electrolux''s divine consciousness. And even Huo Yuhao couldn''t recognize it. Huo Yuhao has to use Evo''s help and have his mouth opened for a moment because Scathach really doesn''t want to make a random bet with Electrolux. [Name: Loyalty Rune] [Type: Primordial Rune] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Loyalty Rune is one of the Primordial Runes, having magical properties to make one''s soul loyal to another. It was regarded as Forbidden Rune because the target would follow the caster''s order without any question] "I vowed to help Huo Yuhao with all my strength," Electrolux said while floating above Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. "Good." Scathach nodded in agreement, cing her palm on Huo Yuhao''s neck. A ck dragon-like mark appeared on Huo Yuhao''s skin, having the same function as Command Seal. (An: Sieg''s Command Seal) Huo Yuhao smiled wryly and said, "Shishou, you..." "Sssh, this is for your own good." Scathach sealed Huo Yuhao''s lips with her finger. "Be a good disciple and ept Electrolux as your servant." Electrolux knew what Scathach was doing, but she stayed quiet because Huo Yuhao promised her to create new memories in this life. She couldn''t convince them, so epting her fate is better. "Let''s start." The necromancer dered. Everyone looked at the Ghastly ball of light and watched it grow into a beautiful woman with an "extremely." paleplexion. She has long white hair and a pair of gray eyes, wearing a ck gown to cover her slender body. "Staff of Light." Huo Yuhao felt his Spiritual Energy depleted drastically and witnessed it be a long staff in Electrolux''s hand. She whispered some things and summoned unknown characters in the air, causing a wave of golden light to sweep over the area. Scathach crossed her arms to resist the light wave and muttered, "Amazing." Qianye Ying''er felt her Battle g changing when overwhelmed by Electrolux''s technique. She gained enlightenment and quickly meditated on the ground. "What a good seedling. Let me help you a little." Electrolux waved her staff to Qianye Ying''er and blessed her with the purest light element, allowing the Battle g to go through the 2nd Awakening. "Huo Yuhao, prepare yourself." "This is going to be tough." Huo Yuhao nodded and felt an odd warmthing from the Soul Throne. Electrolux chanted mystic codes with her Staff of Light and awakened the artificial martial soul. BOOM! Tian Meng trembled and muttered, "S-So strong." The Soul Throne changed color into brilliant ck gold, and the cracked stone released intense spiritual energy. The gap merged slowly with each other, creating a perfect throne with a majestic presence. Electrolux sat on Huo Yuhao''sp and whispered, "Yuhao, create a connection to the throne." "Heh, so you wanted to y it like that." Scathach frowned when seeing this. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and approached the Soul Throne''s embryo, connecting it to his soul. He suddenly groaned in pain because it was like a thousand hot needles piercing his heart. "Uugh." He hissed while gripping the armrest on the throne. [Pain Resistance reached Level 200] [Pain Resistance reached Level 201] ... ... ... Two hours passed, and Huo Yuhao was sweating bullets because the pain was worse than he expected. He adjusted Universal Breathing Technique and focused his attention on creating a connection with Soul Throne. ... ... Another two hours passed, and Huo Yuhao was bleeding from his eyes. He coughed a mouthful of ck blood and told Evo to teleport one Senzu Bean straight into his mouth. As he chewed the miracle bean, his injuries constantly recovered and worsened, creating a cycle of rebirth. ... .. "Good job. Leave everything to me now." Electrolux suddenly kissed Huo Yuhao''s lips and disappeared into pure particles of light. "OY! OY! What are you doing there?!" Tian Meng shouted with a blush on her face. Dum! A loud heartbeat echoed in the area, and everyone stared at Huo Yuhao solemnly. This young man seemed to attain an odd change because his presence pletely." disappeared. Dum! Dum! One after another, Huo Yuhao''s heart released loud noise, and the Soul Throne exploded with ebony gold brilliance, washing the area with the Supreme Aura of The Ruler. A gray-colored Spirit Ring with a unique golden pattern appeared out of thin air and surrounded the Soul Throne, manifesting a majestic crown on Huo Yuhao''s head. Huo Yuhao slowly awakened from his profound reflection and revealed a pair of grayish-gold eyes, gazing at the world with a bored gaze. [Ding! Congrattion, Host] Evo''s voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s head. [You have awakened the Divine Throne of Beginning and End] Chapter 62: Ice Emperors Evolution and Shrek Academy Chapter 62: Ice Emperor''s Evolution and Shrek Academy --- Chapter 62 --- [Name: Divine Throne of Beginning and End] [Type: Martial Soul] [Description: Divine Throne of Beginning and End is an artificial martial soul that regained its True Name after being connected to the Host. It has the qualities of Alpha and Omega based on the Host''s soul origin] [Innate Ability: Genesis & The End] Huo Yuhao gently rested his head on the throne and felt warmth from the smooth rock''s surface, which was surprisingly quitefortable. He closed and opened his eyes, seeing the world from an entirely different angle than before. "It feels like cheating." A sigh escaped Huo Yuhao because of the Divine Throne of Beginning and End''s innate ability. He doesn''t need Evo to show the description because the throne actually was in his soul. [Genesis & The End] [Allowed the user to view the origin of everything and utilize 120% of them] "What do you think, Yuhao?" Electrolux''s voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s mind. Her damaged existence has be stronger after bing the throne''s 1st spirit ring. [1st Spirit Ring] [Name: Cmity Necromancer Electrolux] [Type: Divine Consciousness(Iplete)] [Description: Thest piece of Yi Lai Ke Si''s Consciousness, having knowledge and power over Light Elements and Necromancy] [Spirit Skills: Necromancy, The Child of Light(passive), Ruler Authority, Cmity Necromancer Electrolux(Summon)] Huo Yuhao smiled and calmly replied, "Never felt better than this, Eluxia." When connecting to the Divine Throne of Beginning and End, the necromancer merged her divine Consciousness with Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. She politely requested to give her a new name because of his previousment about creating new memories here. And Huo Yuhao gave her "Eluxia." As a new name. Eluxia materialized herself in the real world, but her appearance has changedpared to before. She still has her long white hair and gray-colored eyes, but those eyes aren''t so dull anymore with a faint golden hue. And Her lips be healthier with a rosy shade. She wore a modest ck dress with purple roses on the skirt area. And a grayish-gold tiara was set above her head, shining with dim golden light. She looks like a dignified queen who has found her king. Scathach nodded in appreciation andmented, "Well, my disciple is more handsome than before." "Is that so? Ugh..." Huo Yuhao chuckled while staring at his teacher and glimpsed her origin with a simple gaze. He clutched his head because an enormous amount of information rushed into his mind. "What happened??!" Everyone bes worried when seeing Huo Yuhao''s painful reaction. Huo Yuhao calmed himself down and added, "I''m fine, everyone. The ability from Throne of Beginning and End is more powerful than I anticipated. I know it''s strong, but still underestimate it." "You should deactivate the throne. The process consumed 95% of your Spiritual Energy and Spirit Energy. And It''s a miracle considering your Spiritual Sea was still working." Eluxiamented while rubbing Huo Yuhao''s forehead, soothing his mind. "Have you been training your Spiritual Energy before?" "Yeah, I trained the Haki Training Method." Huo Yuhao answered casually. "Still, I can''t deactivate the Throne of Beginning and End yet. We have to absorb the Ice Emperor''s essence first." Tian Mang frowned and whined, "No! You should rest first, Yuhao. Absorbing Ice Emperor would bring harm to your current state." "What state?" Huo Yuhao returned while creating a mace with Eas and used the Full Recovery Skill from Dragonborn Crusader ss, recovering all negative states and energy with the cost of a very long cooldown. It''s the ultimate skill that he could only use once every two years. "What???" Tian Meng''s eyes widened in awe because Huo Yuhao''s sicklyplexion returned to normal. Even his Spiritual Energy and Spirit Energy reached 50% again instantly, which should be impossible. "How many secrets do you have, Yuhao?" Eluxia stared at her Host solemnly, but Huo Yuhao casually shrugged his shoulders without giving them any exnation. Cracks! "Hmm? She''sing out of her cocoon." The necromancer moved her gaze to the water-like cocoon a few meters away from the throne. She could sense the Ice Emperor''s origin essence had changed drastically with additional water elements. The cocoon broke abruptly, and the ice jade silhouette escaped, flying in the sky with Ultimate Ice particles changing around the field. An icy storm formed and surrounded the sky, giving off a mysterious cold presence. [Name: Scorpion-Tailed Ice Jade Phoenix] [Type: Spirit Beast(Variant)] [Age: 600.000 years old] [Description: The Scorpion-Tailed Ice Jade Phoenix is the evolution of the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor after absorbing Water Luan Bird''s Essence. She bes an Ice Phoenix with Ultimate Ice and Pure Water elements while still retaining her origin] An enormous yet beautiful bird appeared before them. The current Ice Emperor had a leaner body with soft frozen jade feathers over it. Sixrge wings spread from her back, pping gently like flowing water. Her pinchers have transformed into sharp talons. Andstly, a long scorpion tail with a diamond-like stringer hanging on her butt, gleaming with cold light. "Bing Bing..." Tian Meng released tears. The newly evolved phoenixnded on the ground and released a satisfied chirp, "It feels great." Huo Yuhaoughed and responded, "d you like it. Also, congrattions on reaching the 600.000 years old phase." Tian Meng and the Ice Emperor froze in their spots when hearing Huo Yuhao''s statement. And the newly evolved phoenix realized her cultivation increased by 200.001 years, and no tribtion happened because of the bounded field. The Ice Emperor looked at her current appearance and felt a more powerful energy inside. She was stunned for a moment because she jumped from 399.999 years to 600.000 without repercussions. And not to mention that her Ultimate Ice bes more powerful with the support of Pure Water Elements. "Do you want to try your new strengths?" Huo Yuhao questioned with a chuckle. "What about another bet like before, but I won''t move from my throne." "Let''s do it." The Ice Emperor, whose pride was hurt by Huo Yuhao hours ago, immediately agrees. Without further ado, She spread her wings and created a domain with extreme hail. Huo Yuhao has a smug expression from the beginning, irritating the Ice Emperor. Scathach and Tian Meng watched the Ice Emperorunch an energy st with potent Ultimate Ice and High-Pressured Pure Water de at Huo Yuhao, creating a wave that could cut through almost everything. [Child of Light(Passive)] [Light Elements loved you and even granted you a special privilege to manipte them with ease] "Mirror Force." Huo Yuhao quickly incorporated Light Elements and Primordial Runes to create a tall Mirror with strong reflection properties. He watched the iing attack and closed his eyes. SWOOSH! CLANK! BOOM! "W-What?!" The Ice Emperor saw her attack reach Huo Yuhao''s mirror and get reflected. She pped her wings to disperse the attack but was speechless inside because Ultimate Ice should have frozen any material upon touch. "Do you want to continue?" She heard Huo Yuhao spout those words and saw his eyes glow with a dim golden light. It feels like her existence is a mere bug before him, the absolute ruler of strength. ''Those eyes... They are seeing everything.'' She gulped nervously. "N-No, I think that was enough testing for today." Huo Yuhao deactivated Eluxia''s spirit ring and breathed out because that didn''t consume as much Spirit Energy as he thought. The Child of Light is such a powerful Spirit Skill. After recovering from the shock, the Ice Emperor grew more sure about her decision to assist Huo Yuhao. She nced at Tian Meng and admitted the gluttonous worm had found an outstanding person. "Well, let''s not waste any more time." She returned her gaze to Huo Yuhao and released her essence. "Yuhao, do you want to ept my spirit bone? After absorbing the Water Luan Bird''s Essence, I could shape my Spirit Bone better than before." Huo Yuhao pondered and asked, "Even an external one?" "Yes." The Ice Emperor nodded firmly. "Then, Give me a Liquid-based Spirit Bone and some drops of your blood." "Uuh... Okay?" ... ... As the Ice Empress merged herself with Huo Yuhao''s Throne of Beginning and End, a crimson spirit ring with six golden patterns appeared out of thin air. She created an orb of icy water, an external Spirit Bone, and slowly integrated it into his left shoulder. [Name: Ice Empress''s Pauldron] [Type: External Spirit Bone] [Age: 600.000 years old] [Description: Ice Empress''s Pauldron/External Bone is a unique Spirit Bone because it could change shape ording to the user''s will. Its former shape is Icy Liquid, which means it is possible to take it out, unlike other Spirit Bone] [Spirit Skills: Permafrost Motionless Domain, Ice Empress''s Wrath] Huo Yuhao turned into War Beast for a moment and chugged a vial filled with Ice Emperor''s Blood, hearing a notification from Evo. [You have ingested the Scorpion-Tailed Ice Jade Phoenix''s blood] [Please wait six months for War Beast''s race to digest and absorb the blood] "Wee, Bing Bing~!" Tian Meng hugged the Ice Emperor. An adorable girl around 16-17 floated on Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Sea. She has long green hair tied in twin tails and bright yellow eyes. And she wore a white dress with a green skirt above her thighs, which was covered by ck stockings. Six icy wings appeared on her back, and a scorpion tail came from her upper butt. "Get away from me!" Bing Di pushed Tian Meng away with an annoyed expression. She puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms, staring at the SkyDream Ice Worm indifferently. "Hehe~!" "Bing BING~!" "These two are so lively," Eluxiamented while giggling."My new life here is already better." ... Huo Yuhao nced at the information about Bing Di''s spirit ring and tilted his head for a moment. "This is interesting." He said while deactivating the Throne of Beginning and End. [2nd Spirit Ring] [Name: Scorpion-Tailed Ice Jade Phoenix] [Type: Living Spirit Ring] [Age: 600.000 years old] [Description: A Spirit Beast that governs over all battlefields with her mastery over Ultimate Ice and Pure Water Elements] [Spirit Skills: Ultimate Ice and Pure Water Maniption, Ice Empress''s Absolute Zero, Ice Empress''s Emergence(Summon)] "Not bad." Huo Yuhaomented with a smile while standing on the ground. He used Univer Breathing Technique and stabilized his position. "Hmm, where is Ying''er?" "There." Scathach tapped Huo Yuhao''s shoulder and pointed her finger at Qianye Ying''er, who meditated on the ground. The former youngdy was releasing a dim golden aura and sighed in relief. [Name: Qianye Ying''er] [Age: 12] [Race: Ancient Holy Human] [Cultivation: Level 69] [Martial Soul: Saint Battle g(6+)] [Description: An exceptionally devoted follower of Huo Yuhao''s Religion] "Nice~." Huo Yuhao coughed while swaying his head away from Scathach''s gaze. The God yer frowned and shrugged because her disciple spouted random things daily. Qianye Ying''er gradually awakened from deep meditation and felt so free. She summoned the Saint Battle g and saw a change in the pole and the g itself. The staff was slightly longer, and the former dragon symbol had be brighter with the faint image of a saint hugging it. "With this strength, I can help my lord..." She chanted while grasping her hands gently. "Oh lord~! Thank you for the blessing." Huo Yuhao patted Qianye Ying''er head and said, "Good job, Ying''er." "Since our n is over, let''s go to the Shrek Academy and meet with other Exchange Students from Dragon Nest. They must have been waiting for us." He continued, to which Qianye Ying''er responded with a nod. Scathach shook her head andmented, "At least do something with your clothes, Yuhao. Don''t tell me you wanted to attend Shrek Academy with that bloody appearance?" "I know my disciple is wild, but this is something else." Huo Yuhao could feel sarcasm from Scathach''s mouth and look down at his current attire. When awakening and connecting his soul to the Divine Throne of Beginning and End, his body went through a rebirth. Blood wasing from his pore, painting the jackets and stuffy trousers he wore in red. There are also some horrible tears here and there. "Haha, You''re right." A weak chuckle came from Huo Yuhao. After three minutes of cleaning, Huo Yuhao wore a long, silver-buttoned blue coat with three separate coattails. A white dragon pattern runs around the cor, with a dragon''s head hanging over the coat''s left shoulder and its tail slinking down the right, all the way to the bottom. Each cuff also possesses five gold buttoned straps with ck lining. Under the coat, there is a clean ascot vest neatly buttoned. And he also wore dark pants with a scale pattern running across their surface and tall, brown boots with two golden buckled straps at the top. (An: Vergil''s Clothes) Huo Yuhao brushed his blue hair up and noticed everyone''s silent gaze. "What?" He asked with a yful smirk. "Never seen someone this handsome?" "Oh no, Tian Meng''s narcissistic nature is influencing him." Bing Di immediately said, which caused a tick mark to appear on the Skydream Ice Worm''s forehead. Tian Meng pouted and yelled, "It has nothing to do with me!" Scacthah suddenly hugged Huo Yuhao and nted her lips on him. They went on full-blown french kissing, catching everyone off guard. As both parted a minuteter, the God yer licked her lips and said, "Yuhao, don''t tease me like that. I can''t hold myself back, you know?" "My turn~!" Qianye Ying''er kissed Huo Yuhao and left thedies in the Spiritual Sea speechless. She moaned and added, "Ahh~! It''s been a while." Huo Yuhao patted Qianye Ying''er back and said, "I thought the dose wouldst until tomorrow. It''s not even a whole day yet." Qianye Ying''er melted into Huo Yuhao''s embrace and even breathed heavily. She returned to normal after Scathach coughed a few times. "Hehe, you know it''s hard for us to get the dose, Yuhao~! Mistress is always watching us." She said with a happy smile. Three of them don''t realize that threedies inside Huo Yuhao''s spirit sea are blushing hard at the tant exposure of their intimate interaction. "H-Human is so shameless." Bing Di blushed while covering her head. Tian Meng could only nod and added, "Y-Yeah. Does it feel good, though? They seemed to enjoy it a lot." "It''s normal," Eluxiamented on the side. "Dual Cultivation is a thing for them." "EH??" ... ... Huo Yuhao used wormholes to teleport them out of the bounded field and summoned Skye to watch over Extreme North''s outer area in the sky. "There are some people." He looked down and saw several people outside the bounded field. "They wouldn''t be able to enter anyway. Do you want me to release the bounded field?" Scathach looked at her disciple naturally. Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Sure. After all, We left nothing but destruction there. They won''t get anything from it." "Poor people." Qianye Ying''er continued with a pitiful gaze. Scathach broke the bounded field with a simple flick of her finger, and people around the area were shocked. They entered the destroyed portion ofnd and were confused because there was nothing there. "My lord, we have arrived at the Shrek Academy." A familiar voice entered Huo Yuhao''s earpiece. "Oh, Qianxue?" Huo Yuhao pressed the earpiece to reply. "We''ll be there in a few minutes." Murong Qianxue responded, "Okay, noted." Huo Yuhao patted the Azure Sky Dragon and said, "You heard that, Skye? Can you fly fast enough to reach Shrek Academy in a few minutes?" "Easy, My Liege." Skye covered them with his aura again and disappeared from the Extreme North''s sky. Huo Yuhao shared the direction with the shadow general and noticed the dragon flew even faster. SWOOSH! BOOM! Meanwhile, At the Shrek Academy. Murong Qianxue crossed her arms and nced at the four chosen students from the Dragon Nest Academy to join the Exchange Student Program. Each faction agreed to let seven students go because the number was enough for the iing Continental Tournament. Yan Shaozhe wiped his cold sweat and asked, "Um, why don''t we wait inside with a cup of tea?" "No, we must wait for the rest of the students." A frown appeared on Murong Qianxue''s face. "You can''t tell me what I have to do..." "O-Okay..." The Dean of Shrek Academy nervously replied because the cold woman before him was the Ice Demoness Douluo. She massacred Title Douluo left and right two years ago when announcing Dragon Nest''s existence. The group started to gain a fuss because the Shrek Academy''s students gathered around and watched the infamous Dragon Nest Academy. "Woah, are they part of the Dragon Nest?" "They look strong." "Especially that beautiful woman." "Are you dumb?" "What?!" "You''re dumb... That woman is the Ice Demoness Douluo and actually was rumored to be one of the strongest individuals in the Dragon Nest. Just look at the badge on her blouse." "Dragon Nest." A ck-haired girl with bright green eyes halted her steps at the nearest shop and watched Murong Qianxue. She remembered the day she awoke her martial soul and met with an odd yet handsome-looking boy. "It''s been six years. And I''ve entered the Shrek Academy today. Will he keep his promise?" She muttered to herself. "What''s that?!" Someone from the crowd shouted. Everyone looked up and saw a blinking red light approaching the Shrek Academy''s gate. Yan Shaozhe wanted to activate his martial soul because it could have been an intruder, but Murong Qianxue stopped him. The Ice Demoness sneered, "Stop there, fool. Unless you want to embarrass yourself." BOOM! The red lightnded on the front gate and caused a shockwave that pushed everyone away. The onlookers were shocked and saw three figures standing on the ground. "Woah, B-Beautiful..." The male spectators noticed Qianye Ying''er and Scathach immediately. Even though bothdies wore veils and masks, they could feel the overwhelming appealing from them. Meanwhile, the female observers were stunned because of Huo Yuhao''s presence. His overall appearance gave off a mysterious charm, and that mask enhanced it even further, making them want to see the face of this unknown individual. "I-It''s him." Xiao Xiao''s body trembled when seeing the blue-haired young man''s impression. Even though he was way taller and older than the boy, that appearance was very familiar. "Am Ite?" Huo Yuhao smiled behind his mask. Chapter 63: Yan Shaozhes shock Chapter 63: Yan Shaozhe''s shock --- Chapter 63 --- Huo Yuhao whistled casually and followed Yan Shaozhe with other Dragon Nest Academy students to the amodation dorm provided by the Shrek Academy. After reaching this ce, the dean personally escorted them to the outer court area. Cough! "Ehem, we haven''t seen each other for a while." Yan Shaozhe cleared his throat and nced at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhaoughed and responded, "Yeah. I''ve been busy after the Auction Event, you know. Like training and other stuff. My teacher is strict about my training procedure because she would beat me to death continuously, hahaha." Scathach pinched Huo Yuhao''s left arm gently and had the "Do you want more training." expression on her face. Even though she has such a sweet smile right now, people she trained would run away immediately upon seeing it. And Huo Yuhao is no exception because having a durable body like him means more training from her. "Well, I be stronger thanks to it." He added with a weak smile behind his mask. Yan Shaozhe chuckled when hearing Huo Yuhao''s replies and returned, "That sounds rough, buddy. Nevertheless, I''m sure a young man like you has enough energy to ovee it." "You have no idea." Huo Yuhao sighed while feeling Scathach hugging his arm. They arrived at the housing dorm and saw a white-haired elderly sitting on an ancient-looking rocking chair. And this down-to-earth senior seemed to be enjoying the evening view of the Shrek Academy. [Name: Mu En] [Age: 250 years old] [Race: Human] [Cultivation: Level 99(97) Injured Demi-God] [Martial Soul: Light Holy Dragon(Variant)] [Description: The current Sea God Pavillion Master and a man once known as the Dragon God Douluo, but now just an injured elderly in a calm self-reflection] Huo Yuhao scanned the description with an amusing expression because Mu En''s life is ratherplicated yet simple. After all, the only problem was love. He wanted to call this elderly a simp but then remembered the woman in question also had an issue with her life. "Damn. What a drama." He recalled the Douluo Dalu 2''s story in his head. Yan Shaozhe briefly gave the elderly a polite bow and escorted the Dragon Nest Student to Housing Dorm No.14. Everyone followed him to the building beside Huo Yuhao, Qianye Ying''er, and Scathach. Qianye Ying''er could see someone''s soul and character with her eyes, and Mu En possessed a bright gold gem with some brown shades, making him a serene individual with unfinished problems. Meanwhile, Scathach believed in her instinct and sensed Mu En''s sheer power by looking at the elderly. This guy is around the same level as Huo Yun''er but appears weakened because of old injuries. Such a waste because she wanted to fight him with all the seals off. "What a good day, isn''t it?" Huo Yuhao greeted him casually. "Indeed." Mu En nodded while ncing at Huo Yuhao. "You have a quite mysterious background, young man. Those eyes of yours aren''t something a youngster should have. And I assume you have faced death often." Huo Yuhao snickered and added, "Haha, you''re not wrong." "Well, See youter, elder." He waved his hand and walked away with Qianye Ying''er and Scathach, leaving the Sea God Pavilion Master confused because he couldn''t read his Spirit Energy and Spiritual Energy. After applying Suppression Rune, Huo Yuhao''s cultivation realm appeared to be Spirit King with Spirit Rank Level 52. Mu En shook his head because Dragon Nest was a mystery to him. He has lived long enough for someone his age, but this new organization suddenly emerged when he wasn''t at his peak. He was worried about many things, and Shrek Academy''s safety was one of them. "I hope we can build a good rtionship with Dragon Nest through this Student Exchange Program." He said while looking at the Sea God Lake, watching the blue water having the sunset''s orange tint. "Also, that young man... He made Light Holy Dragon feel vulnerable for a moment." Huo Yuhao followed the group again and felt rather happy inside because there was no significant change in the world. The Shrek Academy is still the same in some parts, and a character like Mu En does his role like the original. The elderly was Huo Yuhao''s teacher in the original, dying after sustaining his injuries for too long. "That guy is not bad," Scathachmented while ying with her fingers. "If I could get his injuries, he would be a decent punching bag." Huo Yuhao facepalmed inside and said, "Shishou... How casual of you." Scathach pouted and added, "What? Is it wrong for me to say such a thing? I''m confident with my strength and yed countless Divine Beings with this pair of hands." "Right. My bad then." He recalled Scathach''s origin with the Divine Throne of Beginning of End''s ability. He saw a purple-haired woman dancing on the battlefield like a madwoman and yed countless living beings. Her red barbed spear swallowed more lives than one could imagine. Qianye Ying''er frowned and suddenly spoke, "That elderly somehow connected to the young man named Bei Bei we met in the Star Dou Forest this morning." "Do you know this, Yuhao?" "Bei Bei, huh?" Huo Yuhao wondered about something. "That elderly is his Great-great Grandfather." Qianye Ying''er was shocked because Mu En lived longer than she expected. Even though she knew Title Douluo possessed more lifespan with each breakthrough, the elderly in the rocking chair was frailer than Yun Han. "How bizarre." She muttered to herself. "Aih... I thought we lost you three for a moment." Yan Shaozhe sighed when seeing Huo Yuhao still following from behind. "At least tell me first if you want to go somewhere else." He returned his gaze to everyone and continued, "Anyway, this ce will be your living ce from now on." Everyone slowly looked at the building behind Yan Shaozhe. It is a rtively big two-story building with several private rooms inside it. There is also a decently vast balcony on the right side of the second floor where they could hold an activity like barbeque. Huo Yuhao stood beside Yan Shaozhe and said, "Shrek Academy is generous for giving us a ce like this." "Of course." Yan Shaozhe proudly responded. "We are known for our generosity for 10.000 years and raising Monstrous Spirit Masters throughout history." "Is that so? Thest time I checked, the first dean of Shrek Academy was known for his gambling addiction. Some even believed he loved money more than anything." Huo Yuhao watched Yan Shaozhe''s lips twitch because that piece of information should be in the dark history, and not many people know about it. "I''m joking, Senior Yan." He added with an innocent tone. "There is no way that''s true, right?" "O-Obviously." Yan Shaozhe coughed a few times with an awkward look on his face. "Ah, before that!" He abruptly picked up a book list with the Dragon Nest Academy Student''s names. He turned around and scanned the youngsters with a calm look one by one, flipping the pages to confirm something. "Can I get a nod when I call your name?" He asked, to which everyone responded with a nod. "Chu Yue, Fourth ss." "Here!" "Rong Ming, Fourth Grade." "Here." "Lin Dong, Fifth Grade." "Here." "Xiao Mao, Fifth Grade." "Here." "Yang Xin, First Grade?" Yan Shaozhe tilted his head in confusion when reading the information. He searched for the student and noticed Scathach raising her hand. "That would be me." Scathach nodded her head. The dean of Shrek Academy was stunned and asked, "Uh, this document says you''re 12 years old. I believed Dragon Nest wouldn''t do such a thing, but can I check your bone age?" The God yer shrugged and walked to Yan Shaozhe, giving her left hand to get checked. Yan Shaozhe grasped Scathach''s hand and checked her bone age, having his eyes widened in full-blown astonishment. "Dragon Nest has a special training method. Even though we look older, our age is younger." Scathach stated calmly. "The four students before me are the same, but they are only Dragon Nest Academy''s higher-ranked students." "I''m not from the same division as them." "White Room..." Yan Shaozhe released Scathach''s hand and fell into deep thought. He looked down at Scathach''s information page and continued, "That exined this... Yang Xin, 12 years old. Martial soul, Soul Breaking Spear. Level 53 Spirit King." "What a monster..." "Y-You can return to your position." "Another one?" He flipped the page again and saw Qianye Ying''er information with a speechless look. "Here." Qianye Ying''er walked out of the crowd. "Do you want to test my bone age too, Sir?" Yan Shaozheughed in defeat and replied, "For confirmation? Yes." After checking Qianye Ying''er bone''s age, Ya Shaozhe could only sigh and let her away. And only one page left on the list, which made him nervous. He slowly flipped the page and scanned the information. "..." Yan Shaozhe. "Oh? Why the long face, Senior Yan?" Huo Yuhao peeked at the information and chuckled because Liu Mei and Hao Xie actually went too far on his page. "Huo Yuhao, 12 years old." "Martial Soul, Spirit Eyes." "Level 52 Spirit King." "The number 1 student of the White Room Division." "Andstly, please treat him well, or we''ll be at your front door next morning." Chapter 64: Inconvenience and Encounter Chapter 64: Inconvenience and Encounter --- Chapter 64 --- Shrek Academy, Housing Dorm No.14 Huo Yuhao gradually woke up because of soft purring sounds beside him. He yawned and saw Huo Yun''er in her silk purple sleeping robe hugging him like a pillow from the side, chuckling because she was using the wormhole toe here. She could sneak in without attracting too much attention with her illusion. "Morning," He said while kissing Huo Yun''er cheek. Huo Yun''er furrowed her brows and blinked a few times, seeing the unfamiliar scenery of her son''s dorm room. "Five more minutes. I need my Hao''er battery to be fully charged~." She groaned while hugging him even tighter. ''I don''t know that your mom is this affectionate, Yuhao.'' Eluxia''s curious voicees from Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied spiritually, ''Well, our rtionship is rather special than your normal mother and son.'' ''D-Don''t tell me...'' Tian Meng suddenly entered the conversation with a shocked tone. ''A-Are you two, you know, kissing each other and stuff?'' The young man shrugged and added, ''Pretty much. Well, we haven''t crossed thest boundary yet. And It doesn''t matter to us anyway because our limits have broken normal boundaries since I became True Dragon.'' ''H-How perverse~!'' Bing Di covered her reddened face while imagining wild things in her head. Even though Incest was considered normal in the Spirit Beast''s society because they wanted to keep the blood pure, she doesn''t expect humans to practice it too. After five minutes, Huo Yun''er charged her Hao''er Battery and had glistening skin for some reason. She doesn''t wear make-up, but her beauty is always on the top tier with a healthy dose of affection. "Hmm, What''s for breakfast?" Huo Yun''er asked while rubbing her eyes. She smelled something nice from the other side of the room and lifted her nose slightly. "Kimchi Jjigae?" "Yeah. My clone made it." Huo Yuhao answered while reading a book beside Huo Yun''er. "I can''t move because my beloved mom would get awakened from her beauty sleep." "Aww, that''s so sweet~!" Huo Yun''er squealed and went for a kiss. She yfully pressed Huo Yuhao against the bed frame and gently overtook his lips. Their tongues entangled and went on full dance for a few moments. And Huo Yuhao being a guy that doesn''t want to lose, pushes her onto the bed. "Mhhm~!" "You''re so wild in the morning, Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''er breathed heavily with her pale blonde hair scattered on the bed sheet. Huo Yuhao chuckled and returned, "Aren''t you the one who smooched me first?" "Hehe~." Poof! A soft noisees from the kitchen, and Huo Yuhao receives a notification about his clone cooldown. He shook his head a little because he should upgrade Dawn Bringer''s skillter. "Oy, Kimchi Jjigae is ready." He said while caressing Huo Yun''er hair. "Let''s eat before it bes cold." Huo Yun''er jumped off the bed excitedly and said, "Let me feed you~!" ... ... After feeding Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun''er went to the shower and cleaned her body. She checked the Shrek Academy''s provided necessities by herself and nodded because everything was alright, scking in qualities. She stepped out of the shower and muttered, "Hmm, I''ll tell Liu Mei to send a few things to Hao''er dormter. Most importantly, the bed needs to be a lot better." "Yes, At least king-sized for my beloved son." Huo Yuhao meditated on the bed while adjusting the Universal Breathing Technique. He nced at the bathroom and saw his mother walking out in her purple dress. "You look beautiful, mom." He praised her with a smile. "Thanks." Huo Yun''er smiled back. "I''ll be back at night, have a nice day, Hao''er~!" She gave him ast kiss and used her teleportation skill. Like a certain Hokage, she disappeared with a yellow sh. "Also, tell your three new friends to be more docile because I don''t want to make my hands dirty." Her stern voice echoed in the room, which caught even Eluxia off guard. Tian Meng''s face bes pale because Huo Yun''er presence is akin to a towering mountain for her. Even though she is a Spirit Beast with 1.000.000 years of cultivation age and has extreme control over Mental Attributes, the foxy mother could probe her mental defenses like they were wet paper. And no, that''s not the scary part. Tian Meng, Bing Di, and Eluxia felt a natural threat to their existence from the casual gaze of their host''s mother. Even the cmity necromancer has to doubt herself if Huo Yun''er is a divine creature or not, but she is most likely a deity-like being. "Destiny," Eluxia muttered with a solemn expression. "Yuhao, your mom is..." "Amazing? I know, right." Huo Yuhao responded casually. He stretched his body and went for a quick shower, picking up the package on the desk provided by the Shrek Academy. He opened the box and saw the 1st-grade uniform, which consisted of a white zer with matching white pants, a gray buttoned shirt, and a ck tie. "Wait... The size is small as fuck!" Who would have thought the first problem Huo Yuhao had in the Shrek Academy was his uniform? An annoyed sigh escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth because the Dragon Nest''s students in the dorm probably experienced the same problem. And he was right because someone knocked on his room''s door. "Yuhao, we have a problem." Scathach''s voice came from the other side. "Uugh, my chest area is so tight!" Qianye Ying''er voice followed after it. Huo Yuhao opened the door and saw his lovelypanions in a somewhat "unsettling." situation. Scathach''s thighs were more revealing because the skirt was too small, while Qianye Ying''er zer''s buttons held its dear life tightly for containing those mountains. Murong Qianxue stood behind them and had a solemn look on her face. "This is my fault, young lord. I should have confirmed our students'' size beforehand." She lowered her head, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a wry chuckle. Huo Yuhao shook his head andmented, "It''s okay, Qianxue. I wanted you to tell others to give their uniforms to me. I''ll modify them with Palu. Ah yes, tell me their sizes too." "As for Shishou and Ying''er,e in. I''ll adjust your uniform directly." "I''ll be back in a few minutes!" Murong Qianxue ran away from the second floor. Huo Yuhao''s room, Scathach and Qianye Ying''er sat on the bed with only their lingerie. The warrior queen wore a bold purplish bra with a floral pattern and a matching thong. Meanwhile, the young blondedy is sporting an adorable white bra with polka dots and white cotton panties. And they also wore ck and white stockings, respectively. "You two look good in those undies." Huo Yuhao said while summoning Palu. Scathach blushed and replied with a stutter, "O-Of course, I know my style." Qianye Ying''er covered her mouth and giggled, "Thank you for thepliment, Yuhao. I was thinking about a bolder approach like Teacher''s, but you seem to like this innocent type more." Huo Yuhao nodded because his preferences were somewhat subjective. He picked their uniforms and told Palu to scan everything, adding some materials to enhance the uniforms'' durability. "50.000 years old silk from Human-Faced Spider..." "Let''s extract 25.000 years old Meteorite Cores to make the thread as well?" "I also can synthesize thispound..." Huo Yuhao''s left eye shone with white me. Scathach rested her head on Qianye Ying''er shoulder andmented, "Even though I could have used a Primordial Rune to widen my skirt, I sometimes forgot that Huo Yuhao is a skilled master craftsman." Qianye Ying''er shrugged and replied, "Yeah, People called him The Creator for a reason, Teacher." Huo Yuhao picked up the newly created and improved uniforms from Palu''s storage space and scanned them for a moment. "Ah, I went too far." He awkwardly scratched his cheek. [Name: 1st Grade Uniform 2.0] [Type: Uniform/Armor] [Grade: SS+] [Description: 1st Grade Uniform 2.0 is an unusual armor based on the Shrek Academy''s uniform design with extraordinary durability. And also veryfortable to wear] [It could resist Mental Spying Abilities and receive even Title Douluo''s attack a few times without any problem. Because of the Pandora or 100.000 years old Celestial Slime''s core used on the uniform, the user could repair the uniform by using Spirit Energy] [Innate Ability: Self-Repairing, Cold and Heat Resistance, Protection Lvl.90 and Anti-Spy] Scathach nced at the uniform and chuckled, "Heh, Do you want to mass-produce this?" "Uugh, I went too far, okay. Stop teasing me." Huo Yuhao groaned while handing the uniform back to them. "Oh, Wow~!" Qianye Ying''er wore the uniform and felt thefortable yet soft cloth rubbing against her skin. "It feels amazing. I bet You''d be rich by selling female clothes with this material, Yuhao." Huo Yuhao was speechless and returned, "What? You want me to be a designer now?" Theyughed for a few minutes, and Murong Qianxue came to the room with other students'' uniforms. Huo Yuhao fixed them with Toolbox''s help, but not to an excessive level, like the 2.0 version. ... ... Huo Yuhao casually walked out of the dorm with a protein bar in his mouth, watching the calm morning scenery of the Shrek Academy. Oh well, it''s not very peaceful because he heard amotion from a block away. "What did you say?! Aren''t you the one who tripped on me?" "Shut up. It was clear you''re hitting on my girl." "Let''s see." Huo Yuhao whistled and activated his Kenbunshoku Haki, finding a familiar-looking blonde teenager with two decent-looking girls behind him in an alley. They faced a pretty boy with bluish-pink hair, wearing the same 1st-grade uniform. "Haa..." He sighed and continued, "Since I''m not entering the Shrek Academy like it''s supposed to be in the original, some changes would happen." [Name: Dai Huabin] [Age: 12] [Race: Human] [Cultivation: Level 27/Spirit Grandmaster] [Martial Soul: White Tiger] [Description: An arrogant and prideful young master of the White Tiger n] "No wonder." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. [Name: Wang Dong(Tang Wutong)] [Age: 12] [Race: 1/4 Human and 3/4 Spirit Beast] [Cultivation: Level 28/Spirit Grandmaster] [Martial Soul: Bright Goddess Butterfly(+), Clear Sky Hammer(+)] [Description: A cross-dressing girl with mysterious background] Wang Dong and Dai Huabin unexpectedly activated their martial souls, creating a wave of spirit energy in the alley. They frowned andunched a punch at each other. "Huh??" A blue sh appeared between them. Huo Yuhao used a random wooden stick to stop their punches. "Hey, you guys know that fighting with no teacher''s supervision is prohibited, right?" "Damn. It''s not even a day yet." Dai Huabin scowled and asked, "Who are you?" "Hmm, Me? I''m your friendly neighborhood ssmate, Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao answered with a chuckle. Chapter 65: New Standard Chapter 65: New Standard --- Chapter 65 --- "I''m your friendly neighborhood ssmate, Huo Yuhao." Dai Huabin frowned when listening to Huo Yuhao''s casual remarks and seemed to have heard that name once somewhere. He looked down at the wooden stick that stopped his punch and added more force, wanting to blow this clown away. "You''re not listening, huh?" Huo Yuhaomented while pushing the wooden stick slightly. BAM! Cough! "Huabin!!" The two girls shouted in worry. The second young master of the White Tiger n was sent out of the alley, flying to the nearest tree and coughed blood. Huo Yuhao imbued 0.01% of his Haoshoku Haki into the wooden stick and shrugged because that was apparently too much for this guy. "My bad, you''re weaker than I expected." Huo Yuhao waved the wooden stick casually. He turned to Wang Dong and asked the cross-dressing girl, "Oh yeah, are you okay?" Wang Dong was shocked inside because this mysterious masked guy appeared out of nowhere and started sting the annoying blonde guy. "E-Eh? Uh, yes! I''m fine." He replied with a stutter. "Thanks." "You''re wee." Huo Yuhao returned casually. Dai Huabin tried his best to raise his body, but no matter how much strength he used, the effect of Huo Yuhao''s Haoshoku Haki was too potent for him. "B-Bastard..." His legs constantly trembled, remembering the feeling of the impact. "What happened here?" A serious-looking man arrived at the alley. He has mid-length brown hair and green eyes shielded by clean sses, wearing a white robe with ck straps around his waist. Huo Yuhao didn''t recognize this guy for some reason but acted normal because he hadn''t done anything wrong. After all, Dai Huabin received a bacsh because he couldn''t handle his Haoshoku Haki. "Sir, let me exin." Wang Dong walked forward and exined to the serious-looking man what had urred here. And since any story has two sides, the man asked Du Huabin''s side too. "That''s why... My name is Du Weilun. The director of the outer courtyard''s Martial Soul Department." The man sighed while shaking his head. "I''m disappointed in all of you for fighting over misunderstandings." Wang Dong lowered his head and mumbled quietly, "But I''m not wrong... That guy overreacted just because I tripped and crashed on his girlfriend." "I also have apologized." Dai Huabin slowly was supported by the two girls and stared at Huo Yuhao with a hateful gaze. He doesn''t care about Wang Dong anymore, but this unknown masked guy has gotten on his nerves. "I''ll punish youter withmunity service." Du Weilun said while moving his gaze to Huo Yuhao. "Hmm, who are you?" Huo Yuhao smiled behind his mask and replied, "I''m the new exchange student from the Dragon Nest Academy, Sir. I was walking around to enjoy the scenery and found this ruckus by chance." Everyone beside Wang Dong was stunned like a statue when hearing Huo Yuhao''s answer. Especially Du Weilun, who just gained a warning from Dean Yan to be aware and treat the Dragon Nest Academy''s exchange students well. "If you see a masked student with blue hair, never get on his bad side." Yan Shaozhe warned Du Weilunst night. Huo Yuhao pulled out a gold badge with Shrek Academy''s symbol and said, "In case you don''t believe me, here is the badge Shrek Academy provided to us." Du Weilun stared at the badge and cursed because this wasn''t how he was supposed to meet the exchange student. He was about to reach Housing Dorm No.14 to fetch the 1st Grade Students but to think he would meet one here was a bad sign already. "Ehem, I thought we agreed to meet at the housing dorm." Du Weilun cleared his throat and acted professionally. Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "I''m bored." "..." Dai Huabin. "..." Wang Dong. "..." Du Weilun. ... ... After clearing out the misunderstanding and sending Dai Huabin to the clinic, Huo Yuhao, Du Weilun, and Wang Dong walked to Housing Dorm No.14. "Um, Yuhao. What''s Dragon Nest Academy? I''ve never heard it before." Wang Dong suddenly asked with an unsure tone, which left Du Weilun speechless. How could this boy not know about the Academy of the mysterious organization, Dragon Nest? Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and exined, "Dragon Nest Academy is a learning ce funded by the Dragon Nest. It''s a ce where young people learn how to train themselves and be stronger up the Dragon Nest''s standard." "After the recent auction event that Dragon Nest held on Java Ind, the leader agreed to start a Student Exchange Program with every faction on the Douluo Continent." "I was chosen to attend Shrek Academy, hoping to learn something new here." "Well, I''m not that impressed so far." He continued while observing the scenery. Wang Dong digested the information and returned, "I see... Then, how strong is Dragon Nest Academypared to the Shrek Academy?" Du Weilun''s ears perked after listening to Wang Dong''s question because Huo Yuhao''s answer would be a great source of information about the Dragon Nest Academy''s base level. "We are too far ahead of you guys." Huo Yuhao chuckled while ncing at Du Weilun. "I''m not being arrogant here. And to prove that you can guess my age and cultivation." "If you get it right, I''ll give Shrek Academy 10 ck Rune Stones." "This is ridiculous!" Du Weilun''s eyes widened. "Are you saying 10 ck Rune Stones are nothing to you?!" Huo Yuhao picked a random spatial ring in his Inventory andzily activated the tool. Rocks with ck marks started to pour down like water, stacking on the ground. There are at least 20 Rune Stones on the paved-stone floor. "Oh my GOD!! It''s the rumored Rune Stones." The director of the outer courtyard''s Martial Soul Department couldn''t believe his eyes for a moment. Huo Yuhao "honestly." was amused by Du Weilun and returned his gaze to Wang Dong. "You can start guessing~." He said yfully. "18." Wang Dong stared at Huo Yuhao. "Wrong." "20?" "Damn, Am I that old??" "Uh, 17!" "Cold." "15!" "A little warmer." "13? No way..." "Warmer, but not boiling." "10?!" Wang Dong gained a chuckle from Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao facepalmed himself and started tough, "Pfft~! HAHAHA~!" "He''s twelve." Scathach and the Shrek Academy Students approached them. She has been watching her beloved student having fun and wanted to join. Wang Dong blinked a few times and stared at Huo Yuhao with a taken aback expression, "What?! YOU''RE TWELVE? NO FUCKING WAY!" "Now, guess my cultivation." An evil smirk appeared behind the White Ogre Mask. ... ... Fifteen minutester, a group of four walked to the study building on the other side of Sea God Lake. "Poor things, you broke his mind," Scathach amusingly said while walking beside Huo Yuhao. On the other hand, Wang Dong had an existential crisis after knowing Huo Yuhao was a Spirit King and the same age as him. Qianye Ying''er giggled softly and continued, "To be fair, Douluo Continent''s standard is outdatedpared to the Dragon Nest, so we can''t me the poor girl- Oops, I mean boy." Qianye Ying''er and Scathach can observe one''s character with a simple gaze, so Wang Dong''s gender is no secret. However, since it was fun, they decided to y along with the cross-dressing girl''s delusional ys. Wang Dong was stunned by Huo Yuhao''s heaven-defying achievement and didn''t even catch Qianye Ying''er blunder a few seconds ago. So he hasn''t realized the secret has been uncovered by the three. They arrived at a billboard with the grade and ss assigned to each student. Huo Yuhao scanned the vast board and noticed they got assigned to the 1st ss taught by a teacher named Zhou Yi. "That name sounds familiar." Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin. "Ah, the Monster Teacher." "Monster Teacher?" Qianye Ying''er tilted her head and moved her gaze to Scathach. Scathach smiled at the blonde girl and asked, "Why are you staring at me, Ying''er?" "N-Nothing." Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection in the outer courtyard to find Zhou Yi''s ss. After discovering a woman with a skin mask that makes her a sterner and menacing-looking hag, he smiled and told everyone to follow him. They entered the Freshman Study Building and walked in the corridor, drawing students'' attention left and right because of their mysterious appearances. Huo Yuhao stopped at thest ss in the building, pulling the door open. "Are they?" "Yeah, they are the Students from the Dragon Nest Academy." "Woah, that guy is so tall. Wait, why did he attend the 1st grade like us??" "Don''t tell me he''s 12 years old too..." Huo Yuhao ignored the mobs and took the front seat near the windows. Qianye Ying''er and Scathach sat beside and behind him, iming territory over the ssroom. "Now, we wait." Huo Yuhao used Universal Breathing Technique to stimte the Spirit Circuits, circting Spirit Energy inside his body. Wang Dong returned to reality and found himself sitting beside Scathach. "Huh, where am I?" He looked around, causing Scathach to chuckle. "Hey, you. You''re finally awake." Scathach responded while crossing her arms. "What??" Wang Dong couldn''t understand her. BAM! The ssroom''s door "abruptly." was opened by a stern-looking woman. She''s 46 or 50 years old with dark silver hair neatly pulled into a bun and light copper eyes, wearing a gray turtleneck blouse with a red coat that covers her chest and a pale brown skirt. Even though Zhou Yi looks like a stern grandma everyone dislikes, that''s only a facade because Huo Yuhao knows she wore a skin mask. [Name: Zhou Yi] [Age: 29] [Race: Human] [Cultivation: Spirit Sage/Level 77] [Martial Soul: Silver Vajra Bear(Variant)] [Description: A beautiful teacher in disguise] She red at everyone and said, "My name is Zhou Yi. I''ll be your teacher until the third grade, and depending on your progression, that probably won''t meet my standard. I''ll kick you out of the Shrek Academy immediately." "Since there is no question, Homeroom started now." Unlike the original, no students werete to the ssroom, and even Dai Huabin arrived with his side chicks five minutes before Huo Yuhao''s group. Zhou Yi exined the curriculum to them straight and moved her gaze to Huo Yuhao. "What do you think about Shrek Academy''s curriculum, Student Yuhao?" She asked calmly. Huo Yuhao stared at Zhou Yi and replied, "It''s good. For Shrek Academy''s level, that''s it." "Oh? Please borate." Zhou Yi returned while taking a seat and made Huo Yuhao the center of attention. She tricked him into being under pressure because she wanted to see what kind of mentality the Dragon Nest Academy''s students had. As everyone''s gazesnded on Huo Yuhao, he smiled because Zhou Yi was clever with her approach. "To put simply, Shrek Academy''s teaching was behind us. We valued hard work more than raw talent, making our standard higher because students pushed to break their limit one after another." "You might think, "Oh, we also trained hard, and our Academy is known for 10.000 years throughout the history of the Douluo Continent." And expected your future to get guaranteed because of it. No, your standard is outdated." "Shrek Academy''s teaching isckingpared to the basic teaching of the Dragon Nest Academy." "And can you show that to us?" Zhou Yi maintained her calm voice because she had read Huo Yuhao''s information. She was shocked, but the student must know the difference between Shrek Academy and Dragon Nest Academy. Yes, this was her motive all along. Huo Yuhao read Zhou Yi''s move and said, "Ying''er." Qianye Ying''er nodded and called her Saint Battle g, releasing spiritual pressure that washed every student in disbelief. And what came next shocked them even further. "I-Impossible..." A terrified whisper escaped one of the students. Zhou Yi solemnly looked at Qianye Ying''er five spirit rings and spoke in wonder, "All ck spirit rings." And this doesn''t just happen at the Shrek Academy because every faction that agreed to the Student Exchange Program witnessed the first change of the new Era on the Douluo Continent. Dragon Nest''s standard. Chapter 66: Shallow Observation Chapter 66: Shallow Observation --- Chapter 66 --- Sea God''s Ind, Sea God Pavilion. The Sea God Pavilion is the central power and governing body of Shrek Academy. A long table was upied by the Sea God Pavilion members, with Mu En seated at the end of the table because he was the current pavilion master. Everyone listened to Yan Shaozhe''s report about the Dragon Nest Academy''s Studentsing to the Shrek Academy two days ago. Even though they just arrived and stayed for a short time, they have created an enormous wave inside the academy. Yan Shaozhe picked a list and said, "After observing the students from the Dragon Nest Academy so far, we have concluded a few things about the youngster group." "Every student from Dragon Nest thoroughly was trained as a martial artist and well-versed in handling weapons. Even if they are Auxiliary Spirit Masters, they are skilled enough to know how to exploit their physical ability to the extreme limit. They also seem to possess a secret technique that boosts their overall prowess significantly for a certain period." "It''s their breathing technique. After some quite ugly spars, We confirmed they used the same breathing technique to stimte their inner organs to work beyond normal." Sin Lin''er lifted her hand to interrupt and asked, "Pavilion Master, may I interrupt the report?" Mu En nodded and replied, "Go ahead." "Since Shaozhe has mentioned the Ugly Spars, I''d like to add that Lin Dong, who entered the fifth grade, defeated the whole ss without breaking a sweat." Sin Lin''er made everyone in the room quiet. "And he''s Auxiliary Spirit Master with food-based Martial Soul, Cotton Candy." "Eh??" They were taken aback by Sin Ling''er second statement. Sin Ling''er sighed inside when seeing everyone''s reaction because she also couldn''t believe her eyes when seeing the spar herself. "Yeah, you hear it right. Lin Dong defeated a ss full of Spirit Kings and some Spirit Emperors without breaking a sweat despite being an auxiliary type Spirit Master." She confirmed with a troubled look. "He''s no more than 17 years old. And a Level 69 Spirit Emperor with two purple and four ck spirit rings." "How is that even possible??" Du Weilun muttered to himself. "For the longest time, the Great Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang has ced a standard for us, Spirit Masters." There is an optimal age of Spirit Ring for every bottleneck that identifies the oldest possible Spirit Ring that can get absorbed without significant risks. Spirit Master can naturally absorb younger Spirit Rings, but the absorption of an older Spirit Ring can result in serious injuries or even death upon rejection. However, there have been a rare few cases of Spirit Masters having "sessfully." absorbed Spirit Rings beyond the optimal age. Usually, this may result in serious injuries or even death upon rejection, but with an exceptional physique, spiritual power, and willpower, the odds can be more favorable. There is no official term for this event, but one could refer to this as limit surpassing. 1st Spirit Ring: Less than 423 years old Spirit Beast 2nd Spirit Ring: Less than 764 years old Spirit Beast 3rd Spirit Ring: Less than 1.300 - 1.800 years old Spirit Beast 4th Spirit Ring: Less than 3.000 - 5.000 years old Spirit Beast 5th Spirit Ring: Around 12.000 years old Spirit Beast 6th Spirit Ring: Around 25.000 (In manhua, exactly 28,756) years old Spirit Beast 7th Spirit Ring: Between 30,000 ~ 50,000 years old Spirit Beast 8th Spirit Ring: Between 50,000 ~ 100,000 years old Spirit Beast 9th Spirit Ring: More than 100,000 years old Spirit Beast And Dragon Nest breaks this rule. The new yet mysterious organization somehow created a new standard where the start of Spirit Master''s cultivation had to be Purple Spirit Ring. That means each Dragon Nest member has an exceptional physique, spiritual power, and willpower above or equal to Level 30 Spirit Elder at the beginning. That''s just ridiculous, but the proof was right before them. Mu En felt conflicted because his great ancestor Yu Xiaogang''s standards have been used for 10.000 years and proven effective for the longest time. He is obviously happy because a fresh shift happened on the Douluo Continent but somewhat sad inside because the previous ideal would disappear in the future. He shook his head and said, "Shaozhe, please continue." "Okay." Yan Shaozhe flipped his analysis. "After observing each student even further and knowing about confidential information about the Dragon Nest Academy, I discovered that there are at least 3 White Room Division Students whoe to our Shrek Academy." "Before continuing, I had to say that White Room Division is probably like our Shrek Seven Devil, where a group of talented and exceptional seedlings trained even better than the normal students. They are monsters who defymon sense." "Those three students are Huo Yuhao, Qianye Ying''er, and Yang Xin." "Fan Yu, share the data." Yan Shaozhe nced at the white-haired man with bright golden eyes. The man was the Vice-Dean of the Spirit Guidance Weapon Facility. Fan Yu nodded and ced a box-looking device that projected three youngsters with striking appearances. Everyone in the room stared at the three youngsters and frowned because the data showed they were 12 years old. "This is not a joke." Yan Shaozheughed in defeat. "They are 12 years old because I''ve checked their bone''s age myself." "Yang Xin..." Sin Lin''er frowned when looking at Scathach''s projection, and her martial soul caught her attention. "Yang..." "Is she from the Breaking n?" "Most likely, yes. Nevertheless, Yang n hasn''t made an appearance for a long time, so we don''t know if Yang Xin was connected to them or not." Yan Shaozhe replied naturally. "What about the pure-looking girl? Qianye Ying''er." A sturdy man in his fifties rubbed his beard constantly. He has needle-like white hair and a tall yet solid figure full of sturdy muscles. His bronze-colored skin reflected a metal-like light under the sun. "What are you thinking about Douduo?" Sin Lin''er asked her husband with a confused expression. Qian Duoduo opened his mouth and said, "Hmm, is it just me, or does Qianye Ying''er sound familiar?" Everyone bes quiet again because his question reminded them of an event six years ago. In the mountain range area near the Star Luo Imperial City, an enormous volcanic eruption swallowed an unfortunate amount of lives. Among those victims, a woman from Qianye n is assumed to pass away. Weirdly, Qianye n dered the youngdy of the n missing in this ident since her corpse was nowhere in the area. Yan Shaozhe brought out a picture issued by Qianye n six years ago and looked at Qianye Ying''er projection. "Name, Age, and even her older facial features match up with the image sent by the Qianye n six years ago." He said solemnly. "There are no idents..." Mu En''s voice echoed in the room. ... ... "Still, it doesn''t exin how a six years old girl grows into a Spirit King within six years. Her martial soul is also not a regr one because, ording to Zhou Yi, the youngdy could attack and support each other at the same time." Fan Yu suddenly added. "She''s 12, but her control over Spirit Energy and Light Elements is close to a Title Douluo." "Calling them genius is an understatement." Fan Yu sighed while rubbing his forehead because his wife, Zhou Yi, couldn''t evenprehend the base level of their abilities. "What about the boy?" That line caused everyone to move their gazes to the masked blue-haired young man. Sin Lin''er scowled because the identity of this young man was more mysterious than the two previous girlsbined. There is no record of him on the Douluo Continent so far. "Uh, can we take off that mask?" She naturally requested, to which everyone agreed. Yan Shaozhe had aplex expression when hearing Sin Lin''er request because Huo Yuhao''s face was rather eye-catching, and seeing it would make a woman''s nose bleed immediately. It is proven too potent because some curious female students and teachers asked Huo Yuhao to open his mask, and they fainted from the shock upon witnessing it. "Ladies, bear yourself." He nced at Fan Yu. Fan Yu chuckled wryly and pressed a button on the box-looking device, showing Huo Yuhao''s appearance without his White Ogre Mask. And instantly. "O-Oh my..." "What a handsome young man." "He reminded me of myte husband." Sin Lin''er quickly pulled a handkerchief and covered her lower mouth, especially her nose. She didn''t expect Huo Yuhao to have such an appearance and charm that even she couldn''t resist. Her husband literally sat beside her right now. "A-Are you sure this is not fake?" She wanted to argue with Yan Shaozhe, but there was nothing to argue with because Huo Yuhao''s appearance was 100% genuine. Yan Shaozhe shook his head and replied, "I said bear yourself beforehand." "Anyway, the young man''s name is Huo Yuhao." "He possessed Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, a rare body-type martial soul." "No more than 12 years and Level 52 Spirit King." "He seemed to be an influential member of the Dragon Nest and the group''s center because even the Ice Demoness Douluo regarded him politely." "Also, We got warned to treat him well, or the Dragon Nest would be on our front door." "What do you mean by that?" Qian Duoduo questioned immediately. Yan Shaozhe sighed and answered, "At the bottom data we received from the Dragon nest, there is a note with the same line. Even though the sender doesn''t specify the treat well part, It was a clear warning not to provoke Huo Yuhao." "Bah, they wanted us to give a special privilege to this brat?" A drunk-looking elderlymented. "It''s not even a formal request. Just how arrogant are they!?" Mu En looked at Huo Yuhao''s projection and said, "Do it. Treat him better than other students, but not to an extreme level where he could do anything." "Eh, pavilion master?!" Everyone looked at Mu En with surprised gazes. The pavilion master smiled weakly and added, "That young man is more mysterious than all of you had thoughts. We barely know him. Trust me, that young man holds a greater secret than this." "if you say so, pavilion master." They responded calmly, even though some clearly didn''t agree. BOOM! A loud explosion echoed in the Sea God Lake and caught Sea God Pavilion''s member''s attention. "What''s that?" Du Weilun turned around and peeked outside of the pavilion. "This presence, Oh no..." Yan Shaozhe''s face bes pale. "Xiaotao, her martial soul went berserk again!" Sin Lin''er saw a blue-haired young man and shouted, "Wait, there is another presence above the Sea God Lake!" "That''s..." "Huo Yuhao!" Chapter 67: Fiery Lady? Chapter 67: Fiery Lady? --- Chapter 67 --- Huo Yuhao and Qianye Ying''er walked on the bridge around the Sea God Lake. They enjoyed the evening atmosphere and talked about many things, mainly about interesting facts about the Shrek Academy so far. "What a beautiful evening to walk and enjoy the scenery." Huo Yuhaomented casually. He smiled behind his mask and felt the sunset touching his skin. Qianye Ying''er hugged Huo Yuhao''s right arm cheerfully and replied, "Hehe, what a good time~! After a few days, I finally could be alone with you, Yuhao." Huo Yuhao chuckled when hearing Qianye Ying''er reply because Huo Yun''er and Scathach were too much for her. Even though the saint-like beauty has mastered a way to control one''s mind through verbal maniption and bribing, she couldn''t trick the foxy mother and god yer forever. One is a deity''s inheritor who wields power over otherworldly forces, and another one is a god yer who "undoubtedly." was feared by Gods in her previous world. No matter how talented Qianye Ying''er was, she couldn''t beat those with her slick tongue and cunning mind alone. Qianye Ying''er could be considered a rare genius, Scathach said so herself. And she is only 12 years old, putting her above every one of the same age. Since they used Illusion Rune to cover their Spirit Ring''s appearance and ages, no one besides people from Dragon Nest''s members realized Qianye Ying''er possessed two 100.000 years old spirit rings as her fifth and sixth spirit rings. Huo Yuhao gently caressed Qianye Ying''er golden hair and asked her, "Have you thought about the 2nd martial soul transntation project, Ying''er? With Eluxia and Sister Daydream, we have a safe method to do it now." "If you say so, Yuhao. I would do it for you." Qianye Ying''er rested her head on his chest. They walked alongside the bridge for fifteen minutes and felt an odd sensation from their Kenbunshoku Haki. Huo Yuhao nced at the Sea God Lake and saw a fiery ball approaching them at an rming speed. [Name: Ma Xiaotao(berserk)] [Age: 23] [Race: Human] [Cultivation: Spirit Sage/Level 75] [Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix] [Description: A fierydy with a problem] Qianye Ying''er pouted and groaned, "Of course, something like this would happen on our date." Ma Xiaotao focused on Huo Yuhao and Qianye Ying''er,unching a zing fireball at them. She didn''t seem aware of her action and attacked everything that moved. Akin to sleepwalking, but to an extreme degree. Huo Yuhao summoned Ice Empress''s Pauldron and created three icy feather wings to receive the iing fireball. He frowned because Ma Xiaotao was more rebellious than the original. BOOM! ''Yuhao, do you need help?'' The Ice Emperor asked while looking at Ma Xiaotao. She sensed the Evil Fire Phoenix''s essence from the attacker and wanted to fight back. Huo Yuhao swayed the ice phoenix wings and replied, "Nah, I''m fine. This level of fire is far from enough to injure me." [Fire Resistance Level 310] "It''s strong but not hot enough." "Ying''er, give me some leverage." He added, to which Qianye Ying''er responded with a nod. She summoned the Saint Battle g and created a stacked shockwave to toss him away. Huo Yuhao somersaulted in the air and dropkicked Ma Xiaotao on her face. He gives the fierydy a good smack on her left cheek and blows her away like a breeze. BAM! BOOM! Ma Xiaotao fell into the Sea God Lake like a diving bomb, but her me evaporated the water a secondter. She clutched her face and furiously stared at Huo Yuhao. "What?" Huo Yuhao responded while floating above the Sea God Lake. "I just want to make you sober." "Here, some water." He used Haoshoku Haki to ssh water on Ma Xiaotao''s face. SPLASH! Since Huo Yuhao added his spiritual energy, the water doesn''t get evaporated by Ma Xiaotao''s Phoenix me. And her whole body was drenched inke water. "How was it? Fresh?" He casually asked while pping the ice phoenix wings to hover in the air. Ma Xiaotao bes even more enraged and charged toward Huo Yuhao with a fiery scarlet arm. He dodged by tilting his head to the left, catching her face with his hand. BAM! "AAAAHHHH~!!" She released a cry and tried her best to attack Huo Yuhao, but the young man''s arm was like solid ice that couldn''t be melted or moved. [You have resisted the attack] [You will not receive any fire damages lower than your Fire Resistance] Ma Xiaotao''s Spirit Rings emerged from thin air and made Huo Yuhao frown. She clenched both hands and increased the temperature around them to a superheated degree. The red me bes darker. "Oh, well. You wanted it the hard way." Huo Yuhaomented while dragging Ma Xiaotao into the Sea God Lake. He summoned the Divine Throne of Beginning and End in its astral form, using the Ice Emperor''s spirit ring to decrease the temperature. BAM! Huo Yuhao mmed Ma Xiaotao''s head on the bottom of the Sea God Lake and made her spew a mouthful of saliva, creating a shockwave to st theke water up. BOOM! "Absolute Zero." He added Ultimate Ice to his finger and flicked Ma Xiaotao''s forehead. The floating water solidified and created a beautiful ice spiral in the center of Sea God Lake. [Ma Xiaotao(Fainted)] Evo showed him the status of his opponent. "Fainted? Uh, Good enough." Huo Yuhao watched Ma Xiaotao''s me dissipate slowly, revealing her appearance to him. She''s a beautiful woman in her early twenties with long yet silky scarlet hair and a pair of ruby-like crimson eyes. After getting flicked by his Ultimate Ice, her clothes crumbled into dust because of the stress between two opposite forces, leaving her butt-naked in full glory. Cough! "O-Oh, what a fine specimen." Huo Yuhao respectfully coughed and peeked for a moment. After seeing enough, he picked up a thick nket and covered Ma Xiaotao like a taco. Tian Meng frowned and said, "Yuhao, you..." "What? I only admired the scenery before my eyes. It''s not my fault." Huo Yuhao returned casually. ... ... BOOM! Huo Yuhao jumped out of the ice pir he created indirectly and noticed some people waiting for him. "Hello, there." He greeted them with a smile behind his mask. "What a lovely evening, isn''t it? I just caught a random fiery exhibitionist on my way home." He added, which left Yan Shaozhe speechless. They witnessed the young man fight Ma Xiaotao and were shocked by how casually he handled her frenzy state. No, it was more like a one-sided beating. They could see Ma Xiaotao wrapped in a nket and seemed to have fainted after the beating. Her me also has be tamer for some reason. "Thank you, Yuhao. My student could have created more chaos if you weren''t here." Yan Shaozhe gave the bizarre young man a thankful look. He was too naive, thinking the Ice''s Heart Apple he bought from the Dragon Auction Event would solve Ma Xiaotao''s martial soul problem. Huo Yuhao handed the fainted Ma Xiaotao to Yan Shaozhe and responded, "You''re wee? It''s nothing special, though." "And you shouldn''t have let her eat Ice''s Heart Apple right away." "Pardon, What do you mean?" Yan Shaozhe frowned when hearing Huo Yuhao''sment. The young man shrugged and replied, "Unless you''re an idiot, you should know that Evil Fire Phoenix''s nature couldn''t get fixed that easily. And by pressuring her dark side, you harmed her essence more than good." "Training that woman to ept the dark side of her martial soul would have been better because she could grow stronger and adapt to her origin." "Don''t tell me you don''t know?" He looked at the dumbfounded expression of Yan Shaozhe. The Dean of Shrek Academy was too focused on controlling Ma Xiaotao''s Evil Fire Phoenix. And he failed to realize that Fire Element is burning even hotter under pressure and bing more unstable. Yan Shaozhe looked at his disciple and clutched the nket tightly. "I-Is there a way to save her?" He asked naturally. The elder of Sea God Pavilion shook their heads when hearing Yan Shaozhe''s question because, since the past ident with the woman he loved, Ma Xiaotao was his only family. "Well, there are many ways to fix her problem." Huo Yuhao answered with a nod. "However, let''s wait until she wakes up from her sleep. Let her me stabilize because I don''t want to deal with a fiery patient." "Then, see you guyster!" He disappeared by using the Extreme Lightning Movement. "Wait-!" Yan Shaozhe tried to grab Huo Yuhao, but the young man had already vanished from his position and left a ssh of water. Sin Lin''er crossed her arms andmented, "You acted like he wouldn''t be here. That kid literally lived a few blocks away from this ce." "Ah, M-My bad." Yan Shaozhe was ashamed of himself because he was panicked about Ma Xiaotao''s condition. "Let''s wait until Xiaotao wakes up first." "Brrr... Theke is colder than usual." Qian Duoduo suddenly added, which made everyone realize something. How could Huo Yuhao deal with Ma Xiaotao so effortlessly? A typical ice element won''t work because her phoenix me is close to Absolute Fire level. Yan Shaozhe''s body trembled because the information about Huo Yuhao was iplete. That young man possessed more than one martial soul. "Ultimate Ice." ... ... Huo Yuhao grabbed Qianye Ying''er and said, "Ying''er, let''s go somewhere else. Topensate for this event, I''ll buy you as much street food as your want in the Shrek Academy City." "Really~?" Qianye Ying''er giggled excitedly. "Yeah." Huo Yuhao smiled while pulling her. "The date is not over." She beamed and shouted, "Let''s go~!!" Chapter 68: Lovesick Xiao Xiao Chapter 68: Lovesick Xiao Xiao --- Chapter 68 --- Two days passed after the Ma Xiaotao incident, and nothing special happened besides light sparring in Zhou Yi''s ss. Huo Yuhao had a round and beat the student with his fist, making him a menace in their eyes because he didn''t just knock them but also made them feel a painful experience. Huo Yuhao created a new technique bybining Prating Fist, Busoshoku Haki, and Eyes of the Lord. He named it Gentle Love Tap, a supreme skill where he could hit one''s body and inflict incredible pain without dealing excessive damage. "The ss is over. Be sure to apply my teaching to your Spirit Energy circtionter." Zhou Yi said while cing a marker on the desk. "And Huo Yuhao, you stay here for a moment." Huo Yuhao yed with his pen in boredom and awkwardly stopped because Zhou Yi suddenly called his name. Since he wasn''t from the Shrek Academy, he expected her never to ask about that matter. "Uh, okay?" He replied, which caused Qianye Ying''er and Wang Dong to chuckle on the side. Wang Dong leaned on his desk and teased, "Hehe, Teacher Zhou probably would punish you for not paying attention. People were busy writing notes, and you were ying with your pen." Huo Yuhao pointed at his head casually and returned, "Who writes notes when you can listen and remember everything here? What''s this backwater learning method?" "You might haven''t noticed it, but Yang Xin and Qianye Ying''er also don''t write notes and train their Spirit Energy instead. Or Are you paying attention to me so much that you forget to see others?" He teased back, which made Wang Dong blush. "W-What are you talking about?!" Wang Dong shouted with a stutter. "Chill, bro. I''m just joking." Huo Yuhao whistled while seeing Zhou Yi''s expression change when hearing his previous statement about the learning method. As the student left the ssroom one after another, Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao were the only ones inside. They stared at each other and didn''t open their mouths for five minutes, making the tension heavier with each second. "What do you want, teacher Zhou?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked. "Just spit it out already." "Those elders wanted to know so much about Dragon Nest Academy''s learning method. You tried asking higher grade exchange students, but none answered back." "In the end, you chose to approach the leader or center of the group, me. No?" An evil smirk appeared behind Huo Yuhao''s mask. Zhou Yi sighed and replied, "Yes." Huo Yuhao walked from the seat and spoke, "Well, too bad for you, teacher Zhou. I don''t ept a deal from someone whose authority is lower than Sea God Pavilion members. Tell Yan Shaozhe to meet me at Housing Dorm No.14 tonight." He casually walked past the stern-looking woman and met with hispanions outside the ss. "Hmm, What''s with that expression, Wang Dong?" He asked, noticing something weird from the three. "Yuhao, I know you''re popr, but this is ridiculous." Wang Dong said while showing a white letter with a green gem-like leaf. It''s still sealed, but Scathach and Qianye Ying''er clearly have read the content with their spiritual sense. Of course, they acted like everything was normal. ''Women.'' Huo Yuhao hoped he had a cup of roasted Arabian ck coffee with him for some reason. Oddly specific? He didn''t think so. He took the letter from Wang Dong''s hand and opened it in one motion. After reading the letter, he couldn''t help but chuckle because that girl was reallying to the Shrek Academy for him. "I hope you don''t forget our promise, huh?" He said while reading thest part of the letter. "Sincerely-." "Sincerely, who??" Wang Dong curiously asked. Huo Yuhao nced at Wang Dong and answered, "Sincerely, Your mom." "Y-Yuhao, You bastard?!!" ... ... When walking out of the building, Huo Yuhao parted from the group because he had something else. He waved his hand to Scathach and Qianye Ying''er and went to the location written inside the letter. "Should we follow him?" Qianye Ying''er asked the god yer solemnly. "The girl in the letter seemed to know Yuhao earlier than us. Since the Mistress hasn''t shown anyints about it, she most likely joined the harem." Scathach pondered for a moment because she knew how challenging it was to gain recognition from Huo Yun''er. Even though she was known as the God yer and Warrior Queen in her previous world, that excessively possessive foxy woman was hard to deal with by ordinary means. And there is no exception because girls like Qianye Ying''er and Huang Yuna experienced the same trials. "Leave him be." The God yer shook her head. "From the letter, we know the girl has been waiting for six years. And Huo Yun''er will definitely know about this event sooner orter, so she could decide the girl''s fate." Qianye Ying''er pouted and groaned, "Eh... But I want to see~!" Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao arrived at the back of the studying building and saw Sea God Lake Scenery. A ck-haired girl in a 1st-grade uniform stood near a lush willow tree and nervously looked around, searching for someone. Huo Yuhao smiled inside because the small Xiao Xiao he knew had developed into a fine young woman despite her age. She''s around 169 or 171 centimeters with nicely growing assets and a let loose ck hair. Her green eyes have be brighter akin to emeralds, whichplimented her beautiful face even more. [Name: Xiao Xiao] [Age: 12] [Race: Human] [Cultivation: Spirit King/Level 51(Hidden)] [Martial Souls: Three Lives Soul Sealing Cauldron(3+), Nine Phoenix Worshiping Flute(5+)] [Description: A Lovesick Girl in Mission] "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao was speechless because Xiao Xiao actually reached Spirit King, unlike her original counterpart. What happened to her when he was gone? "Whatever, I''ll know about itter." He brushed the curiosity first and walked toward the willow tree, making his appearance known to her. Xiao Xiao looked around and saw a tall young man approaching her from afar. Her heart skipped a beat upon seeing this familiar-looking person. "Y-Yun Long, we will meet again." She tried her best not to cry because of the overwhelming feelings. Huo Yuhao opened his mask and replied, "How are you, Xiao Xiao? You have be more beautiful." Xiao Xiao didn''t reply and went for the hug because it had been so long since she was meeting him. She still remembered the promise she made to Huo Yuhao''s mother, pushing her to be strong enough to support him in the future. "Thank you for the hard work." Huo Yuhao patted Xiao Xiao''s back and watched her nervous expression melt. After calming herself, Xiao Xiao wiped her tears with an expensive-looking handkerchief and smiled brightly at Huo Yuhao. "I''ve been waiting for this day. We finally met again, Yuhao." She said while grasping his hand. "We finally could be together..." Her raspy yet sweet voice echoed in the backyard. Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened in awe because Xiao Xiao''s behavior changed abruptly. Even though she looks the same, her pinkish-red aura says otherwise. And It reminds him of Huo Yun''er when she was hungry for attention. "Fuck me, Another Yandere." He whispered to himself. ... ... After that, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao slowly walked to Housing Dorm No. 14, but from time to time, the lovesick girl would steal a nce at him and squeal in happiness. "Uh, Xiao Xiao." He called her name. "Yes, Yuhao~?" Xiao Xiao replied immediately. Huo Yuhao sighed and asked, "Can you tell me how you reached the Spirit King?" Xiao Xiao tilted her head because even a Title Douluo shouldn''t be able to know her real strength. She beamed because Huo Yuhao was obviously different from others. "Six years ago, when you''re gone. White Tiger n was struck with a financial crisis and forced to sell their ownednds on the Star Luo Empire to survive." "Even though my family has nothing but a bakery. We somewhat can purchase a good chunk ofnd near with our 20 years'' worth of savings and build a merchant group." Xiao Xiao pulled a badge with a bread logo in the middle. "We named it Thousand Bakery to remember our origin." "The merchant group expands rapidly for six years and is even lucky enough to find some gem mines, making our wealth equal to some kingdoms within the Star Luo Empire." "As the only child and sessor of the Thousand Bakery Merchant, I was allowed to train with more resources and cultivated my strength quickly." She giggled and continued, "Of course, it was secret because I have 10.000 years old Skull Spirit Bones to hide my real level. Having twin martial souls is a perk that blessed me in this situation because I can fool everyone with my Three Lives Soul Sealing Cauldron that only has three spirit rings." "You know, I always wondered how such a miracle could happen to my family, especially me. The answer is you, Yuhao." She said with a thankful look. "After meeting you, I was struck with lucky chances." "And with that lucky chance, I''ve fulfilled the requirements ced by your mother." "Build a useful faction that can support you in the future." "Reach Spirit King Realm before I be 13 years old." "I can cook, clean, and service you." "Yuhao, will you ept me?" She suddenly asked. Huo Yuhao stared at Xiao Xiao''s green eyes and saw her origin story with the Divine Throne of Beginning and End. After a thorough examination to confirm something, he chuckled in defeat because she was obsessed with him. He opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Xiao, my feelings are limited because we knew each other briefly. Yet, you have tried and waited long enough to prove something." "That''s why Xiao Xiao, I''ll open my heart for you." "Oh god, this is so awkward." He continued while swaying his head away. "Anyway... Xiao Xiao, let''s be friends and know about each other first." "You haven''t changed..." An amusedugh escaped Xiao Xiao''s mouth. "Then, Yuhao. I''ll make you fall in love with me." Chapter 69: Special Night~ Chapter 69: Special Night~ --- Chapter 69 --- Housing Dorm No.14 backyard. After Huo Yuhao returns to the dorm with Xiao Xiao, Qianye Ying''er wants to show her seniority and challenges the new girl to a light spar. Well, it''s not a very heartwarming spar. Inside the bounded field, Qianye Ying''er rushed toward Xiao Xiao without summoning the Saint Battle g. She was confident enough to beat the new girl without using her martial soul, spreading her Spirit Circuits with the Universal Breathing Technique. "So fast..." Xiao Xiao narrowed her green eyes. She quickly summoned Nine Phoenix Worshiping Flute and made Qianye Ying''er frown slightly. It was a 10-inch long green flute with Phoenix-like carving all around it. Five spirit rings emerged from thin air, surrounding Xiao Xiao with ck lights. Qianye Ying''er smiled andmented, "One purple and four ck spirit rings. Not bad." Sheunched a roundhouse kick at Xiao Xiao and heard a cold yet raspy sound from the flute. Qianye Ying''er felt her muscle and sense weaken significantly, which made her attack lousier before reaching the target. "Decent." BAM! "Ugh." Xiao Xiao crossed her arms and felt the sting sensation on her skin. Even though her spirit skill works on Qianye Ying''er, that kick still sends her a few meters away. She solemnly observed Qianye Ying''er and whispered, "Second Spirit Ring: Snake Binding Spell." Qianye Ying''er clenched her fist and beat the iing green light into pieces. She rapidly charged forward, covering her whole body with Spirit Energy. A few afterimages appeared and surrounded Xiao Xiao in aplex pattern. "Bind." Xiao Xiao blew the flute gently. "This." Qianye Ying''er afterimages disappeared, leaving her alone with green marks all over her skin behind Xiao Xiao. "The previous green light doesn''t disperse buttch on my body." Xiao Xiao nodded and responded, "You can''t destroy my binding spell with a simple punch. It would reappear andtch on your body like a curse until your Spirit Energy is exhausted." "I only have-!" BAM! A Busoshoku Haki-coated fist made contact with Xiao Xiao''s face and sent her flying like a ragdoll. "Green." Qianye Ying''ermented while having a half-destroyed angelic mask on her left face. "I''m giving you some handicaps, but your techniques are better than I expected." She looked at Xiao Xiao, who solemnly wiped her bleeding nose. This girl changed her face position at thest moment to reduce her fist''s damage. Xiao Xiao brought the flute to her lips and yed a simple yet vibrant melody, "Phoenix Transforming Spell." Her body experienced a change because green light burst out from her skin. All Xiao Xiao''s pink muscle tissue brimmed with power after receiving stimulus from the flute''s tune, increasing her overall physical prowess by 150% for roughly one hour before the effect faded. Xiao Xiao''s green eyes turned into brilliant emeralds with a reddish hue. She breathed in and ran to Qianye Ying''er with explosive speed. "Interesting,e." Qianye Ying''er entered a stance. ... Huo Yuhao watched over the bounded field and asked, "What do you think, Shishou?" "She''s passable. Xiao Xiao''s control and spiritual energy are okay, but her physical strength is not good enough to fight for a long time. Even if she boosted her strength with Spirit Skill, it is pointless against people with better stamina." Scathach responded honestly. "She needs to catch up with everyone''s progress on the Universal Breathing Technique. Considering she has been waiting for six years straight to meet you. Her willpower should be enough to handle my gentle training." Huo Yuhao weakly smiled when hearing Scathach mentioning her "Gentle Training." because that''s literally a death sentence for people who intrigued her curiosity. She would drill her cruel teaching to the deepest part of someone, turning one into a monster, and only White Room Students survived the gentle training so far. Of course, Huo Yuhao received a superior version of Scathach''s gentle training in the past. And It still traumatizes him to this very day. "Good luck, Xiao Xiao. I hope you survived Shishou''s hell." Huo Yuhao cheered while observing the bounded field again. Xiao Xiao shivered when dodging Qianye Ying''er attack and frowned because her instinct told her something even more dangerous would happen after this spar. "Always Keep your eyes on the enemy." Qianye Ying''er said while stomping the ground, sending the floor up to mess with Xiao Xiao''s vision. Xiao Xiao prepared to defend against Qianye Ying''er attack but felt slender arms around her waist. "Eh?" She felt her body lifted off the ground. "Suplex." Qianye Ying''er mmed Xiao Xiao''s body back. BAM! Cough! "I-I thought we were girls..." Xiao Xiao spewed out a mouthful of saliva and fainted. Qianye Ying''er picked up a handkerchief to clean her hands and replied, "There is no such a thing as girl ordylike on the battlefield. Grow up, new girl." "You''re saying cool things for someone who cried like a baby on your first training." Scathach broke the bounded field and entered the backyard. "I-I don''t know what you are talking about, Teacher?" Qianye Ying''er swayed her head, but the God yer could see a slight blush on the golden-haired girl''s cheek. Scathach smirked and raised her index finger, "Memory Rune." "S-STOP! T-Teacher, don''t do it." Qianye Ying''er quickly ran past the fainted Xiao Xiao and hugged Scathach to prevent her from showing her shameful past. "I-I''ll give you a new batch of the goodster." "Oh, There is a new one?" An excited shine appeared on Scathach''s red eyes. Qianye Ying''er sighed and quietly whispered, "There are some new releases by the Secret Dragon publishers. It''s a three-book series by EAY." "EAY?!" Scathach was shocked. "Ying''er, give me that good stuffter." "Yes, so please don''t expose my dark past." A defeated chucklees from Qianye Ying''er. Huo Yuhao walked into the backyard and asked, "Hmm, Secret Dragon released another article?" Scathach and Qianye Ying''er stared at each other, nodding to hide this news from Huo Yuhao. The god yer turned around and whistled cluelessly. "It''s nothing, Yuhao. We are talking about Recipe Books for spicy foods." Qianye Ying''er returned to her usual self. "Teacher wanted to make some spicy hot pockets, that''s it." "Let me tryter, Shishou." Huo Yuhao said while staring at Scathach. Scathach coughed and answered, "I''ll let you try spicy hot pocketster." ... ... Since Xiao Xiao fainted from Qianye Ying''er attack and muscle exhaustion, she "actually." was moved into the vacant room inside Housing Dorm No.14 to recover quickly with Murong Qianxue''s treatment. And Fun fact, Murong Qianxue is one of the best healers among the Dragon Nest''s Community despite her Ice Demoness title. After checking on Xiao Xiao''s condition, Huo Yuhao returned to his room and had a warm shower. He felt someone''s presence inside his room and smiled because Huo Yun''er finally came to visit again. He wore a towel to cover his little brother and walked out of the bathroom, seeing Huo Yun''er with a dejected expression on the bed. "What happened, Mom?" He asked worriedly because her energy was lower than usual. Huo Yun''er looked at her beloved son and returned, "Hao''er. Can we do it now?" Huo Yuhao was speechless and listened to Huo Yun''er story about her day. And apparently, There are over 69 weddings that happened in the Naga''s Den today. After seeing people happy with their loved ones, Huo Yun''er felt jealous because she hadn''t done anything special besides skinship with him. "I see..." Huo Yuhao massaged his forehead in embarrassment. "It''s my fault for not paying attention to you, mom." Huo Yun''er shook her head and responded, "It''s not your fault, Hao''er. Mom is just emotional." Huo Yuhao grabbed Huo Yun''er wrist and pushed her onto the bed, looking down at her gorgeous face. Even though Huo Yun''er has been working for an entire day, she hasn''t lost her shine. And those thin rosy lips curved down in sadness. "Let me fix that." Huo Yuhao kissed her lips. Huo Yun''er pink eyes widened in surprise, feeling a warm tongue invading her mouth. She gradually closed her eyes and enjoyed the treatment from Huo Yuhao. "Mhm~!" "Hao''er~!" She gasped for air and hugged him tightly. After a few minutes of intense kissing, Huo Yun''er ended in a joyful state and looked at Huo Yuhao warmly. She brought his head closer to her chest and whispered, "Are we really gonna do it here?" "If you want to? Yes." Huo Yuhao smiled at her. Huo Yun''er blushed because he was bing more charming for some reason. "Hmm, you''re teasing me again~!" She huffed adorably. "But you like it, no?" He returned smoothly. "Hehe, Yes." ... ... Huo Yuhao waited on the bed because Huo Yun''er wanted to shower first. He nced at themp light on the table and changed the color into romantic red. The door opened, and a blushing Huo Yun''er walked in her towel and let loose her pale blonde hair. She nervously nced at him and slowly sat on the king-sized bed. "You look beautiful, mom." "Call me Yun''er..." She reprimanded softly. Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Then, Yun''er." "Let''s drown in pleasure~." Huo Yun''er stared at Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes and felt assured to take the first step. She kissed him and slowly reached over his towel, feeling the bulge behind it. Huo Yuhao smirked and rubbed her toned ass gently, brushing the creamy skin. She breathed heavily and parted their lips, leaving a trail of saliva. Without saying anything, Huo Yuhao''s slick hand had already uncovered her towel and revealed a neatly trimmed region of hers. A finger teased thebia, gaining a yelp of surprise from her. "Hao''er..." "Yes, Yun''er?" He yfully rubbed her inside. "Mhhn~!" She moaned because herher region is always so sensitive after inheriting Yae''s legacy. She pouted inside because Yae had taught her many things, but Huo Yuhao somehow gained an advantage. "S-So big." Huo Yun''er ripped Huo Yuhao''s towel and saw a meaty rod spring up, standing proudly with the sheer size and grith. She gulped and determined to service him too. She massaged his balls and heard a groan from Huo Yuhao''s mouth. A smile appeared on Huo Yun''er face as her smooth hand slowly reached the shaft and rubbed the tip. "Yun''er~!" "Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''er spasmed because the feelings had been building up in her pussy, and she finally reached an orgasm. Huo Yuhao experienced the sama phase and shot a thick creamy load on her massive breast. "It''s so thick." She spread the cum between her massive tits and made a sandwich with Huo Yuhao''s meaty rod in the middle. She gradually added forces and gave him a boobjob. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao hissed in pleasure because his dick wrapped between two heavenly pillows. He watched Huo Yun''er approach his dick and lick the tip. Gluk~! Huo Yun''er swallowed his dick and used her mouth, licking the tips inside. Huo Yuhao didn''t want to lose and flipped her body to see her pink pussy. Huo Yuhao licked the entrance with his tongue and did the legendary 69 positions. They teased each other for a while and orgasmed for the second time. "MHHN~!" "OH, YEAH~!" A gush of dampness sprayed on Huo Yuhao''s face, and he licked his lips yfully because Huo Yun''er squirt tasted sweeter. GLUK! GLUK! Huo Yun''er swallowed Huo Yuhao''s cum and felt the warm liquid enter her throat. She slowly unsheathed his dick and watched the meaty rod getting covered by translucent liquid. Her breathing bes huskier upon seeing it. "Yun''er." Huo Yuhao pulled Huo Yun''er to his side and ced a pillow below her head. His dick twitched in excitement, wanting to do the main course. Huo Yun''er looked down at the monster dick before her pussy and said, "Take me, Hao''er." "Take Mommy''s pussy" "dly, Yun''er." Huo Yuhao shoved his dick into the entrance and felt a breaking hymen, making bloode out. She was a virgin all along. "After bing High Human six years ago. My hymen haspletely recovered." Huo Yun''er said with tears. "I was saving this special moment only for you, Hao''er." "Yun''er..." "I''ll give you my best." Huo Yuhao started to move his hips and brushed the inner wall of Huo Yun''er pussy, making her moan continuously. "Mhhn~!" "Yesh, shove that monster deep inside me, Hao''er~!" "Uuh." He increased the pace and felt the heat. Huo Yun''er pussy is remarkably tight and warm but perfectly matches up with his massive dick. "YES!" "Fuck me, Hao''er~!" "Fuck me more~!" Huo Yun''er wrapped her legs behind Huo Yuhao''s back. Huo Yuhao plowed her pussy more powerfully with each second, knocking the entrance to her womb. She moaned wildly like an animal and smiled happily. "Yun''er." He mumbled while squishing her breast. "Hao''er, take mommy''s breast." "Suck on it." He teased the nipple and felt it harden within a second, sucking it to make her excitement go up. After a while, Huo Yun''er orgasmed, but he didn''t stop and kept moving his hips. "O-OH~!" "Hao''er~!!" "HAO''ER~!!" "YES, FUCK MOMMY''S PUSSY!" "Paint it white with your seed." "You like it, Yun''er~?" He asked with a grin. "YES!" "YOU LIKE THIS DICK INSIDE YOUR PUSSY!" "YESSSSSS~!!!" "FUCK, INCEST IS SO HOT~!" Huo Yuhao hugged her while humping her pussy like no tomorrow. She moaned and yelled, "YES! INCEST IS SO HOT!" "GIVE YOUR MOMMY THOSE THICK LOADS~!!!" "I''m CUMMING!" Huo Yuhao kissed Huo Yun''er and released massive loads into her womb, watching her stomach bloat slightly. It doesn''t end there because the night is still long. They kept having sex inside Huo Yuhao''s room and made a mess in every corner. Moans echoed in the bedroom, making the room drown in debauchery. Hours passed without them even realizing it. Huo Yuhao fucked Huo Yun''er in many positions and even did some ys. She had her butt up and moaned because his dick went into her womb rapidly. "FUCK ME~!" "YESH. FUUCK MEEE~!!" Huo Yun''er couldn''t believe herself missing this pleasure for years. She should have done it sooner and tasted his dick in the past without any hesitation. "Yun''er, take my CUM~!" "YEEEEESSSHHHH~!" Huo Yun''er was drunk in pleasure and rolled her eyes. She fell onto the bed, making Huo Yuhao''s dick slide off her pussy. Huo Yuhao hugged her and whispered, "That was the best sex I have experienced so far, Yun''er." "Hao''er... I love you~." She replied with an exhausted whisper. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "I love you too." "Hmm, I seemed to forget about something?" "Whatever, Yun''er is more important." He shrugged and fell beside her. "Good night, mom." "Good night, my beloved Hao''er~." A loving smile appeared on Huo Yun''er beautiful face. Chapter 70: Afterward and Weekend Chapter 70: Afterward and Weekend --- Chapter 70 --- The following day, Huo Yuhao woke up with a rxing yawn and opened his eyes at the sight of the ceiling. He moved his hand around, but no Huo Yun''er on the bed. "Oh, you''re awake~?" Huo Yun''eres out of the kitchen with nothing but an apron. Her gravity-defying chest stretched the poor cloth and made such a sensual tent. Huo Yuhao gulped because his instinct told him to jump and eat her again. Such a temptation is hard to resist considering the heaven-like experience they hadst night. ''Don''t... Don''t do it, Yuhao!'' Tian Meng shouted from the spiritual sea. She and others were tormented by Huo Yuhao''s wild night with Huo Yun''er and couldn''t sleep because they were connected spiritually. Even though Tian Meng was a spirit beast, she was still a woman. And witnessing such wild debauchery makes her mating instinct explode. Heck, Bing Di fainted with a nosebleed after watching for two hours. The only person whose calm is Eluxia, but Tian Meng could see a shade of pink on her cheek. The necromancer tried to hide her reaction, and Skydream Ice Worm noticed how badly she wanted to do it. ''Ehem, I don''t mind such a good time. It would be a pleasant memory for me.'' Eluxia faked a cough, which left Tian Meng speechless. The Skydream Ice Worm could only watch with wide eyes open and mouth hanging in disbelief. Tian Meng trembled and firmly swore, ''This great me won''t fall! No matter how perverted you were, Yuhao! This SISTER won''t fall to your temptation!'' Huo Yuhao ignored Tian Meng''s rambling and hugged his mother from behind. "W-We can''t, Hao''er. Mom is still sore after our first night." Huo Yun''er blushed bashfully. "You''re such a monster on the bed." "A kiss then." He chuckled while giving Huo Yun''er a peck on the cheek. ... ... After having a warm breakfast that Huo Yun''er cooked for him, Huo Yuhao meditated on the bed with a surprised look because Naga wasn''t lying about getting power-ups by mating/strictly speaking, Dual Cultivating. The amount of Bloodline Energy condensed in one night was more than one year''s worth of self-cultivation. And yes, We are not talking twice or thrice of the effect anymore. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile andmented, "My War Beast''s transformation was also affected by it. After absorbing Ice Devil Titan and Bing Di''s Blood, the buff reached the 500% threshold." "Finally, a breakthrough." Hearing a humming in the shower, Huo Yuhao decided to open his status panel because there should be quite a change in his overall strength. [Opening Status...] [Status] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 12] [Race: Ancient Human] [Sub-Races: Divine Dragon(+), War Beast(+)] [ss: Dawn Bringer, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Silver Ranger, Techno Master] [Cultivation Realm: Level 80/Spirit Sage] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Purgatory Dragon(5+), The Eyes of the Lord(1+), Chains of Heaven(7+), Divine Throne of Beginning and End(2+)] [Contracted Souls: Tian Meng, Bing Di, Eluxia] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice, Uriel] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist(S), Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Universal Breathing Technique, Weapon Mastery, Martial Art Mastery, Gentle Love Tap(S)] [Equipment: Eas(89), Frost(S+), Failure(S+), Toolbox(SSS) White Ogre Mask, Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(35), Gold(14), ck Gold(8), tinum(1)] "Can you guys see this?" Huo Yuhao pointed his finger at the status panel. However, he was bound to be disappointed because Evo''s existence was beyond his contracted soul''s sense. ''What are you pointing at, Yuhao? Air?'' Tian Meng cluelessly tilted her head. Bing Di, who awakened from her shock, was also confused and continued, ''Yeah, we couldn''t see anything, Yuhao. Are you joking with us?'' Only Eluxia was quiet when listening to Huo Yuhao''s question because when bing his spirit ring, she felt a greater strength in his soul. It''s an unknown power that she couldn''t identify even with her knowledge of Spiritual Energy and Soul that could rival God in this universe. The necromancer is curious and wants to ask her host about this greater strength, but she quickly remembers that everyone has a secret. She sighed and decided to hold herself back because a secret better stays secret. Not to mention she was afraid that Huo Yuhao would abandon her. "That''s unfortunate." Huo Yuhaomented while closing his status panel. He picked up a towel from his inventory and waited for Huo Yun''er to finish her shower. "Oh well, let''s clean this ce. We made quite a mess." Huo Yuhao scanned the room with his eyes and saw a worrying dose of juices and seeds. He smiled weakly and used the Cleaning Rune to cleanse everything, making the room clean in a matter of a second. Huo Yun''er walked out of the bathroom awkwardly because herher region was still sore. She could heal it with her power but liked to let it naturally recover because it signifies the next step of her rtionship with her beloved Hao''er. "It would take a while for me to walk normally." She said while smiling at Huo Yuhao. "Don''t you think so, Hao''er~?" "Yeah, My bad. I should hold myself back a little." Huo Yuhaoughed while scratching the back of his head. Huo Yun''er shook her head and added, "It''s fine, hehe~. We both like it anyway." Theyughed cheerfully, and Huo Yun''er swiftly changed into her working attire. Even though the Dragon Nest was a new yetpetent organization, it still needed a leader, and Huo Yun''er had to take the leader position while Huo Yuhao was here. "I''ll be back in the evening, have a nice day~!" She waved her hand and disappeared from the room. BAM! The door suddenly was smashed by Scathach, making Huo Yuhao sigh because the god yer definitely knew what happened between themst night. "Good, she finally left you alone." She said with her usual stern tone. "You don''t know how hard it was for me not to kick that thin wall apart to join you two." Scathach walked over to the destroyed door and kissed Huo Yuhao''s lips. "You''re making me out of control, Yuhao~!" As they parted their lips, Scathach pouted adorably and dered, "You, my dear disciple, have to do me next. No rejection allowed." Hearing that makes Huo Yuhao chuckle because the jealousyes from Scathach brimming and even sweeping her usual stern self. He was amused because the cold and aloof God yer looked so adorable. "I promise." Huo Yuhao replied while hugging her. "Now, let me have a nice shower because our guests have been waiting for the "whole." night." "Sure." Scathach nodded gently and sat on the chair while solemnly observing the room. Thest night was so wild for her because the amount of pheromone Huo Yuhao released could even drug a god. It''s like the most inviting natural aphrodisiac and would be a disaster if she didn''t use Bounded Field to contain it. Qianye Ying''er peeked from outside and asked, "Um, teacher. The mistress has returned to the dragon nest, right?" "Yeah." Scathach smiled because Qianye Ying''er seemed affected byst night''s event. And She could feel her youthful frustration. "Thank god." A sigh of relief escaped Qianye Ying''er rosy lips. "Also, the Dean of Shrek Academy and his disciple have been waiting in the living room. I saw them when checking on Murong Qianxue. Today is the weekend, so none of us had a ss to attend." "Well, let''s meet them." Huo Yuhao suddenly walked out in short pants and a ck t-shirt. ... ... Housing Dorm No.14''s the living room. Yan Shaozhe was biting his nail because Huo Yuhao made him wait for the whole night. The Ice Demoness Douluo said he was busy with something else, but a weird noise and odd shaky activity wereing from the second floor. Ma Xiaotao nervously looked around because the atmosphere of this ce was weird. She has heard about Dragon Nest''s rumors for the past two years and is shocked to know they had a Student Exchange Program with Shrek Academy. After consuming the Ice''s Heart Apple and absorbing the essence to calm her Evil Fire Phoenix, Ma Xioatao fell into a deep sleep and awakened three weekster in the recovery room under the Sea God Ind. Ma Xiaotao was skeptical when knowing a student from Dragon Nest Academy defeated her berserk state casually, but she trusted her teacher the most. After all, the father-like figure Yan Shaozhe would never lie to her. "What kind of person is he?" She muttered while staring at the stairs to the second floor. Huo Yuhao walked down the stairs and greeted, "Yo, good morning, Dean!" "Don''t Yo me, Yuhao! You are making me wait here for the whole night." Yan Shaozhe responded with a frown, but Huo Yuhaoughed it off. The young man sat on the sofa before them and tilted his head because Ma Xiaotao''s mouth was wide open. Her ruby-like eyes were wide open, like seeing something out of this world. "Ah, my mask? I forgot to wear it." Heughed while cing Illusion Rune to turn off the charm by 90%. He looks like the original Huo Yuhao beside the aura around him. "This should be enough now." "H-How could you be that handsome??" Ma Xiaotao leaned on the table, having a curious expression. Her wariness over Dragon Nest seemed to disappear instantly upon seeing Huo Yuhao''s face. This woman''s heart literally swayed so easily. Huo Yuhao shrugged and answered, "I don''t know. Maybe it''s inside my blood. My mom is exceptionally gorgeous, you know." "Anyway, let''s go to the main topic." He continued while moving his gaze to Yan Shaozhe. "What kind of deal you wanted to make with me, Dean Yan?" Chapter 71: Failed Deal and Burn Chapter 71: Failed Deal and Burn --- Chapter 71 --- Huo Yuhao and Murong Qianxue faced the Shrek Academy''s representatives with casual yet calm looks. They talked for three hours about Dragon Nest''s training method, which made them speechless because the main thing about Dragon Nest Academy was the rivalry between students. "That simple?" Yan Shaozhe frowned after listening to Huo Yuhao''s story. "I know you guys gave our student School Points to survive there but to think it would be this dire..." He remembered the report about Lin Dong and muttered, "It''s a mad way of teaching, but definitely working. Of course, Dragon Nest Academy gave their students basic needs, and that''s basic fairness. Nheless, if students want to grow more than others, they have to gain more School Points to get external resources." Huo Yuhao nodded andmented, "50.000 School Points wouldst for two semesters or one year, but that only takes into ount essing the training ground. We have a Medicine Hall where students could buy physical refinement pills or spirit gathering pills to improve their strengths." "We could do this because Dragon Nest is more advanced with abundant resources while other academies hid their resources only for "special." students. Dragon Nest Academy obviously has divisions, but one thing is for sure. All of our students are special." "Dean Yan, how many students could ess the special training room below Sea God Ind?" A grin gradually appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because Yan Shaozhe became solemn when hearing that. Yan Shaozhe clenched his hand and questioned, "How did you know about that?!" "Oh, so there is a special training room there? My guess is correct, hahaha. Thanks for confirming it." Huo Yuhao chuckled and watched Yan Shaozhe''s face turn pale like paper. He tricked him so easily. "Y-You..." Yan Shaozhe rubbed his temple because talking with this young man was tricky. He doesn''t know the depth of Huo Yuhao''s verbal maniption because he can''t read him at all. And those royal blue eyes seemed to always gaze straight into his soul. "Hey, be more polite!" Ma Xiaotao demanded while frowning at the handsome young man. Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned, "I''m more polite than you thought, Senior Xiaotao. Do you think Dragon Nest would even talk about this information with you guys? Dream on because the other faction doesn''t get this special treatment. They could only grit their teeth and watch our students be stronger faster than you could do with training one Spirit Sage." "You can take everything I say with a grain of salt, but believe me. In just a few more years, Dragon Nest would be more powerful than it was right now. And you could only watch and tremble inside your little home." "Yuhao, what do you think about an alliance with us, Shrek Academy?" Yan Shaozhe suddenly proposed, which caused Murong Qianxue to sneer. The Ice Demoness rolled her eyes at Yan Shaozhe''s proposal and responded indifferently, "Alliancepletely was formed when every faction is on equal footing. Shrek Academy cannot provide us with anything but slight entertainment. And that''s no different than leeching on us." "Do you think we didn''t know Shrek Academy wanted to know about our Runes Knowledge? I bet all your researchers are hungry for it." "Answer me, the respected dean of Shrek Academy. Can you give us something equal to ally with Dragon Nest?" Her voice was cold, and it was enough to make Ma Xiaotao shiver out of instinct. Ma Xiaotao entered a stance because she felt threatened by Murong Qianxue, but that would be a futile attempt because even Yan Shaoze wasn''t confident to fight against the Ice Demoness Douluo and win. [Name: Murong Qianxue] [Age: 35] [Species: Human] [Cultivation: Level 97/Hyper Douluo] [Martial Soul: Onimusha of the Winter(9+)] [Power Level: 98.9 Peak Hyper Douluo] [Description: A colddy with a particr fetish] Huo Yuhao nced at Yan Shaozhe and checked the man''s status panel. And he was surprised to find out he was weaker by arge marginpared to Murong Qianxue in overall power level. [Name: Yan Shaozhe] [Age: 112] [Species: Human] [Cultivation: Level 96/Hyper Douluo] [Martial Soul: Bright Spirit Phoenix] [Power Level: 97/Low Hyper Douluo] [Description: A man with love scars] Yan Shaozhe is ironically three times older than Murong Qianxue, and Huo Yuhao found it amusing because the Dean of Shrek Academy''s background is more surprising than anyone ever expected. It is told very poorly in Douluo Dalu 2''s story because everything was "somewhat." rushed at the end. Still, Yan Shaozhe''s grandparents can be considered the "most powerful." people on the Douluo Continent. And they are equal to Mu En at his peak. If fate works well for Yan Shaozhe, he could be Demi-God and reach 99 with proper guidance. Well, he survived this cruel world long enough that was quite lucky of him. "Let''s talk about this againter." Huo Yuhao suddenly closed the discussion because Yan Shaozhe couldn''t win with such a weak proposal. He needed other elders from the Sea God Pavilion to consider the pros and cons. And Yan Shaozhe understood that because Murong Qianxue''s cold statement made him realize Shrek Academy doesn''t provide any benefits. "Very well. I''ll hold a meeting in the Sea God Pavilion to discuss this matterter." He sighed in defeat. "Let''s talk about something else." "Yuhao, You imed there are many ways to solve my disciple''s problem. Can you prove that?" He asked while staring at Huo Yuhao with a hopeful look. "Eh?" Ma Xiaotao gasped in shock because her Martial Soul Evil Fire Phoenix had been a big problem since she was six. This hereditary sickness caused so much pain for her and even made her go insane from time to time. Huo Yuhao leaned on the sofa because he wasn''t lying when saying Ma Xiaotao''s Evil Fire Phoenix is so easy to fix. However, there are many ways to do it. Ma Xiaotao''s ancestor, Ma Hongjun, possessed a problem with his Evil Fire Phoenix. That''s why the chicken boy had to visit red-light districts continuously to keep himself from getting berserk. And a person with a strong Ice-Attributed Martial Soul is a "great." pair with him. This method worked for Ma Xiaotao, but Yan Shaozhe had been searching "suitable." partner for her, and not worked very well so far. An immortal herb called Cockb Pheonix Sunflower could fix Ma Xiaotao''s issue. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao hasn''t gotten that herb in thest six years because Sunset Forest''s location "strictly." was hidden by Tang San. And He couldn''t use Risu to detect it. Ma Hongjun devoured a rare core from a Prehistoric beast and 2nd awakened Evil Fire Phoenix to Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix, eliminating the negative effect of his martial soul. Ma Hongjun could be considered one of the most talented people from 10.000 years ago with his powerful martial soul, but because of hisziness, he got punished when bing a god. There is also another way to fix Ma Xiaotao''s problem, which is by epting her dark side. It would enhance her Evil Phoenix Origin and make her talent soar even more. In the original story, she bes the Evil Spirit Master and is powerful enough to fight known future figures. "Ninth Heaven Rainbow Phoenix." Huo Yuhao muttered, which stunned Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao. "In theory. Anything with strong Yang or Fire Element could cleanse Ma Xiaotao Evil Fire Phoenix''s Bacsh." He smiled and said, "Make your choice, Senior Xiaotao." "Do you want to ept or cleanse your darkness? It all depends on your decision." "Oh yeah, I only epted rare things like Spirit Bones, Heavenly Herbs, or Rare Minerals as payment." He added while grinning at Yan Shaozhe because he would make this guy poor. "I''ll do anything to help my student." Yan Shaozhe countered firmly, but his heart would cry a few minutester. Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her mouth and said, "I want this darkness to disappearpletely. It just gives me nothing but suffering for the past 17 years. This stupid disease always made me insufferable to even talk with my fellow students." "I-I''m afraid they would burn to ashes when I lost control." Yan Shaozhe shook his head because Ma Xiaotao couldn''t make good rtionships with others. After joining Shrek Academy for 17 years, she barely could maintain contact with her teammate because of the Evil Fire Phoenix''s Bacsh. Just one intense emotional trigger, enough to make her lose control. "Qianxue, escort the dean outside. I''ll start the treatment by myself." Huo Yuhao suddenly flicked his finger and created a bounded field around him. Murong Qianxue nodded and dragged Yan Shaozhe before he could even react ordingly. Thest thing he could catch was Ma Xiaotao''s yelp of surprise. "Kyaa~!" "Xiaotao!!!" He shouted desperately like a drama queen. Murong Qianxue threw the dean on the ground and said, "Stop being so dramatic. Your student would be okay." "If I were you, I''d worry more about your financial status after this." Ma Xiaotao''s eyes widened because Huo Yuhao released an aura of a Phoenix. She yelped in surprise because it was purer than her Evil Fire Phoenix, which shouldn''t be possible. After all, Ninth Heaven Phoenix Rainbow was known as Divine Beast in the ancient record. It didn''t end there because Divine Dragon''s presence overwhelmed the room a secondter. "Y-You, What are you??" She asked while looking like a terrified cat or maybe a chick because she had Evil Fire Phoenix. Huo Yuhao''s face suddenly bes solemn, like that question is a million-dor question. It is the "once in a lifetime." moment because he hasn''t done it to others yet. He walked to overshadow Ma Xiaotao with his sheer shadow and size. He quickly changed his voice to be lower and said, "I''m Batman..." "W-What???" "Yey!" Huo Yuhao pumped his fist in excitement because he had fulfilled one of the secret goals. "Anyway, let''s start your treatment." [Name: Uriel] [Type: Extra Skill] [Grade: SS+] [Description: An Extra Skill that embodiment the presence of Archangel Uriel and possesses a portion of her ability, It allowed the wielder to summon her authority over Hell me Ignitions and Holy Power that destroy devil] [Uriel activated] [Demonic Judge of Fire''s ability triggered because of Evil Fire Phoenix''s Nature] "Hell me Ignition." Huo Yuhao slowly lifted his right hand and summoned a pure white fire that burned away at any evil found in its target. And This fire won''t die by normal means because of its destructive power. However, Huo Yuhao could use Thunderfire to tame it "easily." as the most powerful me in the Dark me Universe is no joke. Naga would be mad if his Thunderme lost to Uriel''s Fire. Huo Yuhao summoned the Thundefire and merged with Hell me Ignition, creating a me with mainly violet and pure white color. It releases a holy draconic presence that makes anything considered Evil bend their knees on the ground. "Senior Xiaotao?" He yed around with the Divine me like it was a tennis ball. "You can handle heat quite well, right?" "W-W-Wait! LET''S TALK ABOUT IT FIRST-!!" Ma Xiaotao fearfully shouted, but Huo Yuhao whistled casually and threw the me onto her body. "Let it BURN!" Chapter 72: New Ma Xiaotao? Chapter 72: New Ma Xiaotao? --- Chapter 72 --- A wise man once said, "Fire always lives within everyone''s heart as long as the ember burns till thest breath. A phoenixes from ashes, reviving itself like scattered sparks." "He also said, It doesn''t make sense, but whatever." Huo Yuhao rubbed his imaginary smooth white beard and examined Ma Xiaotao''s wless skin with appreciation. "Hmm, truly profound and immacte." ''Stop! What are you doing, Yuhao!'' Tian Meng yelled from the spiritual sea. She can''t help but feel speechless because her host has been watching the naked woman for hours without blinking. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and responded, "Aih, Sister Daydream. This younger brother only appreciates the beauty before my eyes." "Is it wrong?" "You''re watching Bing Di''s sleeping face for hours, and I don''tin. What kind of elementary-level hypocrisy is this?" Tian Meng was taken aback and felt a cold aura lingering on her neck. ''T-That''s different. I only watched her fair and beautiful face, not her naked tummy- I mean body...'' She tried to counter the argument but fell right into Huo Yuhao''s trap. ''Oy, pervert worm. What did you say?'' Bing Di clutched Tian Meng''s shoulder with her cold hands. The Skydream Ice Worm trembled in fear, but she couldn''t do anything because the Ice Emperor sealed her in Ultimate Ice. "Fuck! It isn''t fair!" A frustrated groan of the Skydream Ice Worm echoed in the spiritual sea. Huo Yuhao smiled and focused on burning all evil attributes inside Ma Xiaotao''s Evil Fire Phoenix. Her martial soul was one of the more powerful Fire Elemental Spirits, but the bacsh made her suffer rather than enjoy life. "Eyes of the Lord." His royal blue eyes gained a grayish-golden hue. He could see the origin of Ma Xiaotao and even witnessed something Douluo Dalu 2''s story doesn''t uncover. And it was surprising because Ma Xiaotao was not only the descendant of Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang from Tang San''s era, but she also possessed the purest bloodline that exceeded them. 10.000 years of stacking pure bloodline allowed Ma Xiaotao to possess Evil Fire Phoenix with more Evil Nature and Ultimate Fire. And These attributes collided with each other since she was a child. Huo Yuhao watched Ma Xiaotao''s skin slowly be dark-like charcoal and smiled because the cleansing process was almost over. He let the Hell Thunderfire spread across her bountiful body, hastening the procedure even more. [Ma Xiaotao''s Evil Attribute has dropped to 69%] Evo notified him with a progressive bar. [50%] [33%] [26%] [12%] [9%] [2%] Ma Xiaotao''s scarlet hair released several drops of ck liquid and became shinier. She breathed in and out instantly, inhaling the oxygen to burn more energy inside her body. A bunch of golden embers shed inside her heart, spreading all over her nerves. [1%] [0%] Poof! She suddenly turned into dust, which caused Tian Meng and Bing Di to stare in shock. Eluxia observed the ember from Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea and pondered because a strong soul was burning in the ashes. It was impossible to see with naked eyes, but the necromancer could clearly witness a beautiful phoenix crying to the sky. "Reborn from the ashes." Huo Yuhaomented with a grin. Ma Xiaotao''s body appeared from the pile of ashes, waking up slowly with a fuzzy feeling in her head and a gentle breeze brushing her skin. She looked around with a confused look on her face because the process didn''t only erase her darkness but also everything rted to it. It means her Spirit Rings and Spirit Energy too. [Name: Ma Xiaotao] [Age: 23] [Cultivation: Level 78/Spirit Trainee(Erased)] [Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix Empress(Variant)] [Description: Pure Lady] "Where am I?" A soft voicees from her lips. "Um, Yuhao. What happened to me?" Huo Yuhao was surprised because Ma Xiaotao became more soft-spoken than before. When the description says "Pure." he didn''t expect it to be like this. Well, it''s not that bad, and she''s more adorable. "Congrattions, Senior Xiaotao." He replied naturally. "We have burned every evil trait in your Evil Fire Phoenix." "Really?" Ma Xiaotao''s ruby-like eyes gleamed excitedly. She activated her martial soul and sensed pure warmth generating inside her heart. No spirit ring came up, but she felt happier because it was like a curse lifted from her. And Tears came up from Ma Xiaotao''s eyes because it''s been so long. She suddenly went for Huo Yuhao and hugged him tightly as if her life depended on it. "T-Thank you, Yuhao. I finally could live without being afraid of my dark side. I could make friends andugh with them." She said while looking at her benefactor''s face. Their position was awkward because Huo Yuhao was on the bottom while Ma Xiaotai was hugging him with no piece of cloth whatsoever to cover her skin. Her soft mountains are rubbing against Huo Yuhao. It looks rather sensual, and Bing Di began to cover her nose from bleeding. It took more than five minutes for Ma Xiaotao to stop crying, and Huo Yuhao respectfully let her lean on him. He coughed a few times to signal something, and the phoenixdy didn''t notice it. "Are you calm now?" Huo Yuhao looked at Ma Xiaotao, who loosened her hug and sat on his stomach. "Um, yes." Ma Xiaotao nodded gently. He moved his head away and added, "By the way, you''re naked the whole time." "Eh???" ... ... A day passed after Huo Yuhao helped Ma Xiaotao cleanse her Evil Fire Phoenix. Inside the Dean''s office, Yan Shaozhe cried like a baby because the cost was 10 Spirit Bones above 10.000 years old and several rare minerals. He weakly leaned on his chair and mumbled, "I should have asked for the price earlier... That evil brat makes me poor in just two days." "Fuck!" "At least Ma Xiaotao is happy now." He sighed while thinking about his financial status. After all, ten spirit bones with a cultivation age past 10.000 years old are not cheap. And rare minerals Huo Yuhao wanted cost more than three years'' worth of his sry. Yan Shaozhe looked at the paper on the table, which was the list of rare minerals Huo Yuhao wanted. He opened it and saw nine different minerals with specific usages for creating Spirit Guidance Tools. "Hmm? Use your Spirit Energy on this ck dot." He noticed a small note on the edge of the paper. Yan Shaozhe felt something was wrong but activated the hidden rune on the list. As he added his Spirit Energy, the parchment exploded and released ten more parts with a new list of materials. "T-This..." The corner of Yan Shaozhe''s mouth twitched. "HUO YUHAO!!!" ... Housing Dorm No.14, Backyard. Huo Yuhao rubbed his ears because someone seemed to shout his name. He shrugged and dodged an iing attack from Scathach. He used Kenbunshoku Haki to see the red spear moving in the air and stabbed several ces. He used Busoshoku Haki to harden his left hand and deflected every single one without fail. "Good, your reaction speed isn''t rusty," Scathachmented while increasing her pace. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "You''re looking down on me, Shishou. Even though I don''t use my body quite often in the Shrek Academy, I''m fast enough to dodge your attacks." The god yer smiled and returned, "Is that so?" "Then you don''t have a problem with three seals off, right?" Crack! The ground below her shoes cracked from sheer pressure, and Scathach disappeared from her position. Huo Yuhao used the future sight and tilted his head to the right, seeing a red spear go through like a sh. He summoned Frost and lifted two of his seals off to match up with Scathach''s overall strength. "Don''t me me for ruining your morning, Shishou." He said while waving the dagger at Scathach. She sneered and answered, "Try me, Yuhao." BOOM! "A-Are they even humans?" Ma Xiaotao watched Huo Yuhao and Scathach''s warm-ups match with a shocked expression. They are moving too fast for her eyes to handle. "I don''t know..." Xiao Xiao answered while sitting outside the bounded field. She knew Huo Yuhao was strong, but to think he would have such power despite being the same age was outstanding. She narrowed her green eyes at Ma Xiaotao and asked, "Also, what are you doing here, Senior?" Ma Xiaotao blushed and replied, "W-Well, I only wanted to see how powerful Dragon Nest''s exchange students were. It''s nothing special Since the Shrek Academy allowed me to be representative to observe them." Xiao Xiao''s green eyes be somewhat colder when hearing Ma Xiaotao''s answers because it''s clear that this senior wants to be closer to Huo Yuhao. "I see... Good for you." She returned while moving her gaze back to Huo Yuhao. She bit her finger because he was so hot when dodging Scathach''s spear. Unlike Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao could see Huo Yuhao''s movement because her eyes "actually." were enhanced with Spirit Skill. ... ... At the entrance of Shrek Academy, a group of people walked inside after gaining permission from the guards. They wore white hoods with golden lining, showing their noble origin from the Qianye n. "So this is the Shrek Academy?" A young man with golden hairmented while opening his hood. "Not bad for a ce to learn something." "Oh well, I''m here not for studying, though." He looked at the vastnd of Shrek Academy and chuckled excitedly, "Ying''er, your fiance ising for you." Chapter 73: Awakening Potential and Main Quest? Chapter 73: Awakening Potential and Main Quest? --- Chapter 73 --- "Good, keep running." Scathach''s voice echoed in the backyard while Xiao Xiao and Ma Xiaotao ran like their lives depended on it. A massive shadow approached them with immense presence and dragged the area like an ocean. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A Shadowy Swordfish violently chased over them like a hungry beast and stabbed part of their bodies, ripping internal organs mercilessly. Painful groans echoed one after another, but they couldn''t slow down because they would die. They would die, but they wouldn''t die because Regeneration Primordial Rune was "constantly." activated to keep them running for days. Scathach, the demonic teacher, is well-known among the Dragon Nest Community because she would destroy and mold you into a strong warrior. Her method is somewhat unorthodox but "extremely." effective, having the result that no one can''t argue. Even though Dragon Nest hasn''t epted Shrek Academy''s proposal to be an alliance, Scathach has trained Xiao Xiao and Ma Xiaotao because she is interested in their potential. One is a cold-blooded girl, while the other is a pure newborn phoenix. Scathach grinned and dered, "Yes, show me! Show me you''re worthy enough to be closer to my disciple. This training is nothingpared to what I gave him when he was 6. Failing this means you''re a failure in his eyes too." "Ugh... Looking at their suffering brings bad memories." Qianye Ying''er leaned on her room''s window and used Kenbunshoku Haki to peek into the bounded field. Her mastery is high enough to be considered a master in the One Piece universe. Being an Ancient Holy Human gave her high talents in all areas. The bounded field was invisible to normal eyes, but a technique that allowed someone to see the future bypassed that anti-spy protection. And Scathach only created a low-leveled barrier, so Qianye Ying''er could easily see through it. "Hmm?" A frown appeared on Qianye Ying''er face because her future sight detected an annoying event. She sighed weakly and whispered, "Of course, they would find me sooner orter. That trashy father is truly living up to his sinful nature." "By the way, what are you doing there, Yuhao?" Qianye Ying''er nced at the rooftop. Huo Yuhao has a big pot above the rooftop with Thunderfire burning below. He was making a 2nd Awakening Potion with Star Essence because he finally found a way to eliminate the poison after witnessing Ma Xiaotao''s Rebirth. "Me? Well, just casually making a potion here." He answered while pouring a bluish-colored vial full of Star Essence inside the pot. He stirred for a moment and used Kenbunshoku Haki to detect impurities inside the mixture. "Star Essence is no different than Divine Water, but since it would be poisonous for a mortal. I had to create a substance with a purifying effect. 10.000 years old Blood Ginseng was known for increasing one''s Inner Energy and purifying poison inside one''s body." "And by adding several Heavenly Herbs and a few drops of Naga''s blood, I should be able to create a rapid reaction where the Star Essence''s effect bes higher." Huo Yuhao watched the white liquid inside the pot be pitch ck. He frowned and asked Evo to scan his creation because failure would waste the Star Essence. He only had a limited amount of Star Essence because Star Luo Empire''s Royal Family kept it somewhere hidden from public eyes. [Name: Nameless] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: SS] [Description: An unknown potion with an effect to awaken one''s martial soul. And it was created with several rare ingredients and a few drops of Divine Dragon''s Blood, having a 75% chance of 2nd awakening] "That''s disappointing." Huo Yuhaomented while looking at the grade and Description. Even though the chance of sess increased by 73%, the SS Grade and effect don''t meet his general requirement. It''s not a bad thing by any means, but for Huo Yuhao, who was sure all his four Martial Souls exceeded SS Grade, this potion is basically useless. He chuckled and continued, "I want to name it Disappointment for some reason. And I wondered why Grid named his greatsword, Failure." "Our naming sense is not that different, I guess." "Anyway, Evo. Upgrade Disappointment with ck Gold Upgrading Ticket." [Using 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket to Upgrade Disappointment(SS)] [Upgrading...] [...] [You acquired Disappointment(SSS)] [Name: Disappointment] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Disappointment is a Divine Wine that identally was created by the Host using Divine Water, a few drops of Divine Dragon''s blood, and several Heavenly Herbs blessed by the God of the Moon and Drink, Soma. And have an effect awakening one''s hidden potential by 100% chance] "Upgrade is op." Huo Yuhaough maniacally. He looked down at the pot and noticed the pitch-ck liquid turned into a honey-like color with a sweet yet floral scent. It is somehow enough to make one drunk by sniffing it alone. "Soma, huh? That guy should be the God from Danmachi." He picked a clean spoon and tried a drop of Divine Wine. "What a strong, good damn wine..." Huo Yuhao felt something was awakening inside his soul, but he only tasted a drop of Disappointment. The effect is not fully activated. [You need to take a whole pint ss of Disappointment to awaken your potential and Martial Souls, Host] Evo answered after scanning the effect of Huo Yuhao''s newest creation. Huo Yuhao brought out some pint sses Yun Han gave him a few months ago from his inventory and carefully collected the Disappointment. And to his surprise, he could only fill up to five-pint sses. "Ying''er,e here." His head peeked out of the roof, making Qianye Ying''er tilt her head in confusion. Qianye Ying''er jumped off the window and created a wall of light to jump for the second time. Shended on the roof sessfully and looked at five-pint sses weirdly. "Um, you wanted me to drink alcohol?" "Does Yun Han finally affect you, Yuhao?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but roll his eyes at that usation and answered, "You know we got Star Essence from the Dragon Auction Event, right? I''ve created a potion or Divine Wine that could awaken one''s potential." "I only have five shots here, leaving only two for others because you, Shishou, and I would drink it here." "That sounds amazing, but doesn''t Star Essence only have 2% of sess?" Qianye Ying''er walked to Huo Yuhao and checked the Divine Wine with her amethyst-colored eyes. "Oh, it smells sweet." "100%." Huo Yuhao grinned at the golden-haired girl. "My Divine Wine has a 100% chance of awakening one''s potential." Qianye Ying''er eyes widened in wonder, "No way..." "What are you two busy about?" Scathach suddenly teleported herself onto the rooftop, leaving dyingdies inside the bounded alone. Her nose twitched a little when smelling Disappointment''s scent. "Y-You... Yuhao, you created Divine Wine?" "This student of yours is the best." Huo Yuhao winked yfully. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er could only stare at this young man with disbelief. They always regarded him as the greatest for years but still underestimated his ability to create a miracle. Huo Yuhao pushed two pints at them and said, "Well, let''s talk about the detailster. Drink!" "Just one shot of Disappointment." "Cheers!" He took his pint and downed the whole Divine Wine in one motion. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er stared at each other, shaking their heads. They followed him and drank the Disappointment, triggering the effect immediately. Huo Yuhao, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er were stunned on the spot and felt something burning inside their chests. The necromancer, Eluxia, gradually frowned because she sensed a significant shift of Spiritual Energy in the area. [You have ingested Divine Wine...] Evo''s voice echoed inside Huo Yuhao''s head. [Awakening Host''s Hidden Potentials] [Four Hidden Potentials detected...] [...] [...] [True Lord of Dragons(SSS)] [Limit Breaker(SSS)] [Boundless Emperor(SSS)] [Dimensional Conqueror(EX)] [Error detected?!?!?!] [Dimensional Conqueror hasn''t fully awakened] [Ding! The System has started the Main Quest] [Name: World Domination] [Objective: Conquer Random World(0/1] [Reward: Dimensional Conqueror fully awakened, tinum Upgrading Tickets(3), and Amethyst Upgrading Ticket(1)] [Penalty: Upgrade Function sealed for ten years] [Time Limit: 2 years] [Do you want to ept the Main Quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao was speechless inside when hearing a series of notifications from Evo. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at the Main Quest''s panel, feeling somewhat troubled when reading the penalty. "Ten years. That would be annoying..." He frowned while thinking about something because he couldn''t ept the Main Quest that easily, but Dimensional Conqueror is EX grade. After thinking deeply about his decision, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and asked, "Evo, what does the objective mean by A Random World?" "Don''t tell me the system would give me a gacha where I had to randomly pick a world to conquer?" [Yes, Host] "God fucking DAMN IT!" Huo Yuhao cursed while mming his hand against the pot, sending it down to the Housing Dorm. A wide hole "instantly." was created from the rooftop or the basement. Fortunately, no one was under the rooftop because they would die by getting hit. BOOM! Huo Yuhao groaned in frustration because everything was perfect for six years straight, but one thing always made him skeptical. Even with EX Rank Luck, Dice, and High Roller Passive that increase the odds of winning, he was still afraid of Gacha. The greatest archenemy from his previous life. ''Are you okay, Yuhao?'' Tian Meng asked worriedly. ''Yeah, just tell us if you have a problem.'' Bing Di added confidently. "Do you need a hug?" Eluxia said while materializing herself in front of Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao looked at his contracted spirits and smiled, "Thank you for the concern, everyone. I''ll be fine." Scathach and Qianye Ying''er were meditating beside Huo Yuhao, listening to Huo Yuhao''s random ranting with confusion. They wanted to help, but the young man seemed to talk with himself before his Contracted Spirits started a conversation. "Fuck it. Yes, I epted the quest." Huo Yuhao said while looking at the system panel. [Do you want to pull the World now?] Evo asked with a dull tone. [Yes/No] He breathed in and answered, "Yes." Chapter 74: World to Conquer and 2nd Awakening Chapter 74: World to Conquer and 2nd Awakening --- Chapter 74 --- [Random World Spin started...] Evo''s monotonous voice echoed. [Spin...] [...] Huo Yuhao watched the rotating wheel of doom appear before his eyes. It was pitch ck with a golden lining carved with the name of the world. They are well-known fictional worlds and have several advantages for him, but that doesn''t mean the disadvantage is clear. [High Roll activated] "Come on, give me an easy one." He muttered while watching the wheel spin even faster. Yet, the reality is often disappointing. "For fuck sake. This world..." The corner of Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in disbelief. The wheel abruptly stopped at a particr world, which caused him to facepalm because only a horny teenager would choose this world. [Highschool DxD] [Please conquer the Highschool DxD in two years] [You may operate Dragon Nest] [No limitation added because several God-like Beings lived in there] [The Main Quest started in a week] [Good Luck, Host] "Two years. It is going to take a while." Huo Yuhao breathed in to calm himself and stared at the vast blue sky. He started to think of a n because Highschool DxD is not an unfamiliar name to him, but he only watched the anime. Even though Huo Yuhao knew light novels existed, he didn''t even bother to read them in the past. [True Lord of Dragons(Passive)] [After awakening the inner potential, the Host bes the True Lord of Dragons, allowing you to release absolute Aura of Dominion against all types of dragons in the Universe and decrease their strengths with presence alone] [Limit Breaker(Passive)] [Extra Skill that allows the Host to increase all attributes and growth speed by ten times when facing limitation] [Boundless Emperor(Passive)] [A quality of Boundless Emperor, giving the Host power to break throughmon sense and mortal or divine standards because you inherently are destined for greatness. It allowed the Host to be out of the Karma Cycle and be Fateless Soul] [Dimensional Conqueror(Passive)] [Allow the user to travel through any dimension and even own the Dimension after conquering it] [Warning! Dimensional Conqueror(Passive) hasn''t awakenedpletely. You can''t fully utilize the skill until you finish the Main Quest] Huo Yuhao smiled proudly because these four passive skills were his hidden potential. And by the descriptions alone, these would be helpful to finish the Main Questter. "As for my martial souls. Well, this wasn''t far from my expectation." [Chaotic Dragon Emperor] [True Ancestor Eyes of the Lords] [Chain of Heavens] [Divine Throne of Beginning and End] He could feel his spirit eyes and Naga''s martial soul go through the most changes because not only did their names be grander than before, but both Martial Souls also evolved to a higher grade. Probably almost reaching EX Grade. The Chain of Heavens and Divine Throne of Beginning and End also went through a second awakening, which qualitatively enhanced the inherent abilities than before. Even though the name and appearance don''t change much, Huo Yuhao believes they be more powerful. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and asked, "Eluxia, Sister Daydream, and Bing Di. Did you guys feel it?" The contracted souls were quiet because Huo Yuhao''s martial soul suddenly evolved. Tian Meng, his True Ancestor''s Eyes of the Lord''s 1st spirit ring, could feel God-like Spiritual Energy flowing inside her Host''s eyes like no tomorrow. It''s like he was the incarnation of Spirituality. Meanwhile, Eluxia and Bing Di were speechless because the Divine Throne of Beginning and End binds their origin sparks permanently. The artificially made martial soul made them Huo Yuhao''s first and second servants. Bing Di tried to break the bind and muttered, "I think this was a mistake." Eluxia shook her head gently andmented, "ept your fate, Ice Emperor. The Divine Throne of Beginning and End''s restraint couldn''t get broken, and you can''t try. Unless you''re a literal god, I believe we are permanently bound to Yuhao." "Well, we are putting ourselves in this situation. And there is always a risk, but I already epted mine when bing Yuhao''s 1st spirit ring." "Let''s be honest with ourselves. Do you think this young man needs our help to be a god? The answer is clearly No because his potential alone exceeds our values, but we still tag along because of his promise." "B-But... Never mind." Bing Di sighed to herself because Eluxia was right. After observing Huo Yuhao for several days, she noticed this young man''s potential to be god exceeded hers. He doesn''t even need their help, but they need him. Only Tian Meng wouldn''t ept reality while knowing it because of her insecurity. After all, this was her grand n to make a Human God after 10.000 years. Even though the Skydream Ice Worm hides it with her narcissism, the Ice Emperor knows Tian Meng is afraid to be abandoned by Huo Yuhao. "Damn, younger brother. You be more monstrous after awakening your martial soul~!" Tian Meng said while checking the True Ancestor Eyes, finding a pair of blue eyes that exceed even azure sky in beauty. And These eyes would put anyone to shame by looking at it alone. "A-As expected of my Host." Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied. "Act like usual, Sister Daydream. You''re more adorable that way." Tian Meng was caught off guard and yelled, "W-What! This Sister is beautiful and cool, don''t call me cute!" "How dare you~!!" "Yes, that''s better." He smiled and moved his gaze to Scathach and Qianye Ying''er. After drinking the Divine Wine of Disappointment, they meditate to awaken their potential. Scathach opened her eyes and said, "That felt awful. Who would have thought my potential would be higher in this world? Fate is ying around with me." "Yuhao, kiss me. I need it to wash out this drunkness." Her face flushed with redness. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh inside because Scathach could easily do that herself. Washing away alcohol content from the Divine Wine is like a walk in the park to her, but as a good student, he still kisses the god yer anyway. Scathach hugged Huo Yuhao and felt his wild tongue, gasping because he was rubbing her toned thighs yfully. She pouted and pushed him to the tiles. "A bad student needs to be punished." She said while sitting on his stomach. She pulled Huo Yuhao''s cor and bit his nape gently yet sensually. [Name: Scathach/Yang Xin] [Age: 12/Still growing immortal] [Race: Ancient Human(+), True Immortal(+), Progenitor Vampire(+)] [Cultivation: Level 80/Spirit Sage] [Martial Souls: Gae Bolg Alternative(5+), Heaven Breaking Spear(7+)] [Description: The reincarnated God yer and Warrior Queen with an extreme teacher and student fetish] Huo Yuhao felt Scathach unhurriedly sucking his essence and watched her red eyes glowing dimly. After a few minutes, she lifted her new fangs and gasped because the new sensation was so addicting. "Delicious." She mumbled to herself while looking at Huo Yuhao hungrily. "Fufu, More~!" Huo Yuhao was about to stop Scatach, but she locked her arms perfectly to prevent him from moving. Her slender arm hugged his body while those meaty and toned thighs rubbed his crotch. "Mmm~!" A satisfied moan escaped Scathach while licking her lips. "Yuhao, you''re so delicious~!" Huo Yuhao pulled her cheeks in defeat and said, "If I were an ordinary human, you''d suck me dry, Shishou." Scathach chuckled and returned, "My bad. Awakening this newfound power made me hungry for blood, and you smell absolutely fantastic, my dear disciple~!" "I''m still here, you know?" Qianye Ying''er opened her eyes slowly. She felt tremendous power overflowing inside her body but also sensed danger from Scathach. [Name: Qianye Ying''er] [Age: 12] [Race: Ancient Holy Human, Archangel(+), Dragon-Blooded Saintess(+)] [Cultivation: Level 70/Spirit Emperor] [Martial Soul: Holy Dragon Battle g] [Description: A fanatic believer in Huo Yuhao''s religion] "Thank you for giving me such a precious chance, my lord, Yuhao~!" Qianye Ying''er crouched to Huo Yuhao and kissed his hand politely. "This little servant is thankful and willing to serve you for eternity." "Oh, my lord, Let''s go to bed now!" Her breathing suddenly bes heavier. She shoved Huo Yuhao''s hand onto her bountiful chest and let him squish them plentifully, making Scathach''s expression frozen in surprise. Scathach grinned and said, "This girl..." "You''re finally showing your true color." Qianye Ying''er smirked inside and replied cluelessly, "I don''t know what you are talking about, Teacher. Ying''er has always been an innocent girl~." "Unlike a certain someone with a notebook filled with-!" Scathach pped Silent Rune onto Qianye Ying''er mouth out of instinct. She noticed Huo Yuhao''s gaze and faked a cough while ring at the golden-haired young woman. "Heh." A smug expression stered all over Qianye Ying''er face. Huo Yuhao hugged them and said, "Thank god, you two became more powerful than before. I''m more confident about bringing you to that ce." "That ce?" Qianye Ying''er and Scathach tilted their heads. He leaned to their ears and answered, "Another world." ... ... After Huo Yuhao exined the requirement to awaken his fourth potential, everyone was speechless. Even the God yer, Scathach, couldn''t help but feel conflicted because to think her beloved student had to conquer another world was such escting progress. However, Scathach also remembered Huo Yuhao wielding power to bring a person like her into this world. It''s not that much of a stretch, but the world he had to conquer was full of powerful Gods. He said this world had some simrities with her previous world, which piqued her interest. Since they have one week to prepare, everyone has the same thought about reaching higher realms. Even Qianye Ying''er has contacted every higher-up through Giana to hold an emergency meeting. At night, Huo Yuhao lies on his king-sized bed with Huo Yun''er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er. The foxy mother allows the two to join after hearing the news about Huo Yuhao''s task to conquer another world. "Can''t sleep?" Huo Yun''er asked her beloved son. Huo Yuhao smiled weakly and replied, "Yeah." "Everything will be alright, trust me. Hao''er." She reassured him after reading Luck and Doom Qi in the atmosphere. Her son wouldn''t fail because of such a task. "Yeah, you have me on your side." Scathach suddenly added. "True, true~!" Qianye Ying''er nodded while cuddling Huo Yuhao''s broad chest, clinging to a nket. "I swore to protect and treat everyone well when Naga gave me his bloodline. True Dragons would never go back on their promises." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes shone dimly. "At any cost..." Unknown to Huo Yuhao, his presence transcends mortal for a moment. And Huo Yun''er giggled inside because her son was so amazing to have such power. "Good night, Hao''er~." She leaned to kiss him. Scathach opened her eyes and kissed his left cheek, "Good night." "Hehe~! Good night, Yuhao." Qianye Ying''er kissed Huo Yuhao and rested her head on his chest. "Good night, everyone." Huo Yuhao replied with a delighted chuckle. Chapter 75: Endless Grinding and Insanely Fast Progress Chapter 75: Endless Grinding and Insanely Fast Progress --- Chapter 75 --- Housing Dorm No.14, Meeting Room. In the room with the round table, Dragon Nest''s higher-ups and several high-ranked members attended the emergency meeting in their hologram projection. "We are here today to hold an emergency meeting." Qianye Ying''er took Liu Mei''s position as the secretary because the Queen of Thunder with the Student Exchanging Program. "Yesterday, Yuhao received a task to unlock a portion of his potential. He challenged to conquer another world." "Wait, wait. Hold on for a minute." Yun Han ced his wine on the table. "Did you just say conquer another world?" Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead because it would be a pain in the ass to exin Highschool DxD''s lore, but he had to do it nheless. He contacted Giana through the spiritual link and told her to share the knowledge in his head. Everyone received a file and checked it immediately, leaving them speechless because it was "indeed." another world. And this world has several Gods from different mythology reigned over it. Murong Qianxue checked the file and muttered, "Gods, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, Dragons, and Humans. What a chaotic world to live in..." "As for their powers, are they genuinely a god? Even though they have divinity, the Gods in our world are higher-dimensional beings with absolute control over lower realms." "That''s the confusing part." Huo Yuhao sighed while telling Giana to share a rough estimate of Highschool DxD''s power level. ... Tier-1/Spirit Master(Level 1-10) Regr humans, animals, and other creatures with no magical power and at the bottom of the food chain and even considered canon fooders by higher tiers. Tier-2/Spirit Grandmaster(11-20) Anyone from the weakest magic user, including but not limited to a "human." revived to below the average low-ss devil. It also applies to sorcerers who''ve just started their training. Tier-3/Spirit Elder to Ancestor(Level 21-50) The tier varied power degrees of a low-ss sorcerer, devil, angel, or fallen angel and applied to most magical creatures in the world. Tier-4/Spirit King(Level 51-60) The stage between the low and middle-ss creatures in the food chain of Highschool DxD''s world. Even though not urate but may be close enough because we haven''t gone there yet. Tier-5/Spirit Emperor(Level 61-70) Beings with middle-ss magical power. It uses the exact rough measurement as tier 4 because we didn''t go there to explore the area yet. Tier-6/Spirit Saint(Level 71-80) The stage between the middle and high ss. Tier-7/Spirit Douluo(Level 81-90) High-ss Devils, Angel, Fallen Angels. Tier-8/Title Douluo(Level 91-94) The stage between high and ultimate ss. Tier-9/Hyper Douluo(Level 95-98) Ultimate-ss Tier-10/Limit Douluo or Demi-God(Level 99) Satan/Seraph/Gov. General-like power. Tier-11/God Officer, 3rd ss God, 2nd ss God(Level 100-120) Gods, Super Devils, Heavenly Dragon, Divine-like Beings. Tier-12/1st ss God to God Kings(Level 130-150) Beings who are above the gods and can bring about the end of the world. An example of the Great Red, Ophis, and Trihexa. .... Everyone was quiet when seeing the difference in power scaling between their worlds and stared at Huo Yuhao, who solemnly stared at them. He seriously wanted to conquer this world? "This is rough power-scaling. I''m not one hundred percent sure because the Gods in our world are 4th Dimensional Being after ascending godhood. While the Godkings are 5th Dimensional Being with infinite control over lower realm like Douluo and even higher nar realm outside there." Huo Yuhaomented while leaning on his chair. "That''s why I don''t want to reveal too much of our power to the public. Do you think I care about these lousy factions like Body Sect? The answer is no because the Gods out there are more terrifying. They don''t care about rules and only want to satisfy their so-called justice without thinking about the cause-effect of their actions." "10.000 years ago, Tang San the Sea God and Asura God wiped out Spirit Hall from the face of Douluo, and guess what happened now? The remnant of Spirit Hall bes Holy Ghost Church and created more terror." "Then, What should we do in this situation, young lord?" A random guy asked with a confused look. Huo Yuhao sighed because he was saving this project for the future, but the Main Quest suddenly appeared. "Giana." He called for the Dragon Nest''s beloved AI. "Yes, Master~?" Giana appeared in her digital form. "Open God yer Project." He added, to which Giana responded with a nod. She swiped her hand in and transferred files to everyone in the Emergency Meeting. "This is..." Yun Han''s eyes widened in awe because Huo Yuhao really nned for everything. Drunken Ocean Douluo always wondered why the young man was so agitated in this meeting, odd than his casual self. It seemed the High School DxD''s World was more dangerous than everyone expected. Huo Yuhao looked at them and indifferently dered, "We have six days before the mission begins. In this oddly tense moment, Shishou, Mom, and I would turn everyone into God yers. I don''t care about your feelings. Train until everyst bone and blood in your body is strong enough to face the Gods." "Aww, Hao''er being tsundere again. So cute~!" Huo Yun''er quickly hugged Huo Yuhao from behind, which caused everyone tough because they knew their leaders acted tough to motivate them. "Trust us, Kiddo." Yun Han sipped his wine and released a satisfied burp. "We won''t let you take every burden like thest time." "We, Dragon Nest, would be your greatest power no matter what." Everyone smiled and gave Huo Yuhao a firm look. Huo Yuhaoughed and shouted, "HAHAHA~! THEN, START MOVING, YOU FUCKERS! START TRAINING WITH ALL YOUR MiGHT AT ADVALON!" "Dragon Nest would conquer another world." He added while standing from his seat, making everyone instinctively bow to him. They opened their mouths simultaneously and replied, "Your wish is ourmand, Hao''er/Yuhao/Young Lords/Master!" [Ding! Quest has appeared] [Name: Be Title Douluo] [Objective: Be Title Douluo before the Main Quest started(Level 80/91)] [Reward: 3x Treasure Boxes(S), Gold Upgrading Tickets(5), ck Gold Upgrading Tickets(2)] [Penalty: None] [Time Limit: 6 Days and 9 Hours] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied. Evo is good at reading at the moment. "Well, Dragon Nest. Let''s start grinding." ... ... As Huo Yuhao announced the news, Every high-ranked member of the Dragon Nest was required to attend Inhuman Hellish Training by Scathach, Huo Yun''er, and him in Advalon. They are destroyed into pieces and molded to be God yer within six days. That''s plenty because Advalon''s time dtion has increased "greatly." over the past three years. It was a whopping 12:1, meaning they had roughly 2.5 months to train inside Advalon. Huo Yuhao, Eluxia, and Xiao Chen, or what people called the weapon maniac, also started to make Battle Armor based on Hundred/Huo Yuhao''s Eas for everyone who participated in the World Conquering Quest. It shows sess because Huo Yuhao used 1000% of his brain with Overclock and prepared this for so long after receiving Ebony Arm Shrouds six years ago. They also created and added God-ying Weapons with Primordial Rune enchanted on the Hundred''s Battle Armor. And Eluxia helped them to turn the Armor into a Spiritual Item that could create a bond with Spirit Master. The next step was the Martial Soul Transnting Project, where every high-ranked member of the Dragon Nest was qualified to have one more martial soul besides their original one. This project enhanced their overall strength a lot. And even higher-ups like Yun Han ascended to level 100 despite not having God''s Position, making him a wild god/god officer. Even though everything went well, Dragon Nest burned 50 years'' worth of resources in just one month. However, it''s worth it to start the God yer Project prematurely because Huo Yuhao can''t let his subordinate die in the Highschool DxD world. He also can''t fail Main Quest because his progress would be slower without Evo''s upgrade. As for the Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao created a Dark Avenger Clone that wouldst forever until someone killed it. Even though the clone only has 10% of his power, it is strong enough to wipe everyone there. Huo Yuhao, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er also used another excuse, like seclusive training, as they gained sudden enlightenment, and Yan Shaozhe somehow believed them. And sixty-nine dayster. ... ... At the Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon. A young man with long blue hair tied in a ponytail was sitting at the mountain''s peak. Over a Billion micro neon green lines with concentrated Spirit Energy appeared on his pale skin, circting to match his breathing technique. He slowly opened his eyes and showed the world a pair of majestic blue eyes, changing color to Golden, Green, and Greyish colors within one motion. "Chain of Heavens..." Huo Yuhao unhurriedly opened his mouth and summoned over a hundred thousand ck-colored chains with golden markings. Nine spirit rings materialized around him and suppressed the whole area inside Advalon in pressure. And unlike your typical spirit rings, Huo Yuhao''s Spirit Rings have a brownish-golden color that indicates each of them is 1.000.000 years old or even older. "Naga." A massive dragon shadow with purplish-ck scales appeared behind him. Seven purple gold Spirit Rings appeared and rotated around the Dragon''s Body. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and mumbled, "Ancestor Eyes." As he revealed the Ancestor''s Eyes, Divine-like Spiritual Energy washed the whole dungeon and suppressed every living being with the Supreme King''s Presence. They couldn''t move because bright blue eyes gazed at their souls. And two white gold spirit rings appeared behind Huo Yuhao''s head. "Divine Throne-!" "STOP! STOP, YUHAO!!" Tian Meng suddenly roared from the spiritual sea. "Do you want to kill your subordinate with energy overload, you dumbass? For fuck sake, your monstrous show-off killed the nearest 100.000 years beast instantly." Bing Di waved her hand casually andmented, "Why not? I don''t mind seeing my host dominating the world." Eluxia giggled and added, "Haha, that''s true~. Also, Huo Yuhao controlled his spiritual energy well with my teaching, which meant he wouldn''t kill anybody. He has grown tremendously over the past 69 days. With this talent, he should be a god sooner orter." "I haven''t slept that long, huh?" Huo Yuhao sighed while circting Spirit Energy with Universal Breathing Technique. [Status...] [Opening Status...] [Status] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 12] [Race: Ancient Human] [Sub-Races: Divine Dragon(+), War Beast(+)] [ss: Dawn Bringer, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Silver Ranger, Techno Master] [Cultivation Realm: Level 96/Hyper Douluo] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Dragon Emperor(7+), True Ancestor Eyes of the Lords(2+), Chains of Heaven(9+), Divine Throne of Beginning and End(2+)] [Contracted Souls: Tian Meng, Bing Di, Eluxia] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice, Uriel] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist(SS), Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Universal Breathing Technique, Weapon Mastery, Martial Art Mastery, Gentle Love Tap(S)] [Equipment: Eas(101), Frost(SS), Failure(SS), Toolbox(SSS) White Ogre Mask(S), Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(35), Gold(19), ck Gold(9), tinum(1)] "What a grind. I''ve been wasting more resources than anyone, but it is necessary." Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and felt power overwhelming him inside. Even though he currently has 42 segments of Ouroboros Tattoo, which restricted his strength with Primordial Rune. His power was still overflowing because of the excessive energy. By the way, Huo Yuhao finished the Be Title Douluo Quest one week ago but decided to solidify and bnce his strength first with his teachers'' help. Scathach helped him control his physical strength, and Eluxia taught him how to utilize Spiritual Energy properly. "I need a warm bath after this." Huo Yuhao deactivated all his abilities and nced at his inventory. [699x Senzu Beans] [Scathach''s Stockings] [Huo Yun''er Sleeping Gown] [Qianye Ying''er Bra] [20x Huang Yuna''s Breads] [17x Sabtush Rune Stones] [2x Training Suits] [Heavenly Soap] [3x Random Treasure Box(S)] "Oh, It''s Upgrading Time." Chapter 76: Great Upgrade, Great Rewards~! Chapter 76: Great Upgrade, Great Rewards~! --- Chapter 76 --- "Ah... It is the best~!" Huo Yuhao dipped himself inside a private hot spring and groaned in satisfaction. He has been training non-stop and breaking his limit countlessly for over two months, so rxation is a must. Even with Ancient Human''s strong adaptation talent with Divine Dragon and War Beast''s innate aptitude, he still had to consider his overall mental health. Eluxiamented his Spiritual Sea had reached a stage where he could construct an inner spiritual world. However, hecked catalysts, which was the Life Gold original Huo Yuhao gained through Auction in the Spirit Master Continental Tournament, or precisely Star Luo Empire. And fortunately, there is an alternative to that. After the Eyes of the Lord''s 2nd awakened to the True Ancestor Eyes of the Lords, the Divine Reflection ability evolved into a Spiritual Field where he could store everything he was like a book. It doesn''t just observe everything inside out and copy God''s movement anymore because the replication could exceed the original. Now, It is where everything is getting interesting because Huo Yuhao knew a Title Douluo had to form a core simr to the Golden Core in a ssical eastern fantasy novel. Knowing the future knowledge made Huo Yuhao condense three Soul Cores with Eluxia''s method. The first Soul Core was Spirit Energy Core, with all his Spirit Energy condensed in his abdomen area. And Eluxia taught him how to apply Rotation or Spin Force to create a Core that constantly spun and absorbed Spirit Energy through Spirit Circuits, forming a pure mass of energy akin to the sun. Since Spirit Energy Core is attributeless, Huo Yuhao could channel his Spirit Energy freely to increase the potency of his abilities. The second Soul Core was the Extreme Blood Core, with all his bloodlines condensed in his heart area. Unlike the Spirit Energy Core, Blood Core is aplex mix of several Rare Beast''s Bloodlines. And harder to spin because of the messy wavelength of Blood Energy. Of course, Huo Yuhao discovered a way to condense his Blood Core after a while. With inspiration from a "certain." anime, he used a Spiral Double Helix shape with Divine Dragon''s Blood and War Beast''s Mixed Blood as the foundation to support all bloodlines. The Blood Core is a multi-colored Spiral Double Helix with a pure, almost translucent white bubble around it. And It allowed his blood to store Raw Strength and evolve rapidly by converting Spirit Energy into Life Energy/Ki. Huo Yuhao''s natural regeneration speed became faster with Blood Core, and the Blood Energy consumption when using Divine Dragon and War Beast modes, alongside Chaotic Dragon Emperor, decreased significantly. He could fight for months without getting exhausted. Thest Soul Core was the Spiritual Core, which was the condensation of Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Energy. And the way he chose the shape surprised Eluxia because the Spinning Sun and Double Spiral Helix weren''t enough ording to his liking one month ago. And Spiritual Core was shaped like a tree. Yes, a massive greenish-white tree with thick green roots and white branches spread across Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. Because of the unconventional shape, Eluxia even had to argue with Huo Yuhao for weeks. While the roots siphoned the Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Sea and strengthened the Tree itself, the branches created beautiful golden leaves that could nourish everything spiritually. After one month and nine days, the Massive Tree covered Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Sea with thick roots and vast branches that supported millions of golden leaves. Even though it looks nothing special, when Eluxia observes the Tree, she notices that every golden leaf possesses dense Spiritual Energy equal to her host''s spiritual energy before training. With this Spiritual Core, Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Energy is close to infinity. And that''s ridiculous because everything came from True Ancestor Eyes of the Lord''s ability to store more Spiritual Energy than he could handle. Not to mention His Haki reached an unknown level where he couldn''t measure his depth. "Anyway, let''s start Upgrading." Huo Yuhao sighed while shaking his head. "Evo, convert everything to a higher grade." [Converting...] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(5), Gold(2), ck Gold(1), tinum(2)] "Upgrade Random Treasure Box(S) with 1 tinum Upgrading Ticket."

"HAHAHA~!!" "What happened to him?" Tian Meng woke up from her nap because of Huo Yuhao''sughter. Bing Di shrugged and replied, "The usual." Eluxia curiously frowned and stared at the thin air where Huo Yuhao''s gaze focused, but no matter how much she tried to observe this higher power, she couldn''t feel nor see it. Eluxia believed Huo Yuhao wasn''t hallucinating because the degree of the miracle he showed so far was impossible to achieve by normal means. Even though Genius and Madness "actually." were separated by a thin line, Huo Yuhao was something else. A monster that kept evolving and bing stronger by simply existing. Huo Yuhao clicked on the nine rewards he gained from Random Treasure Box(Ex) and checked them one by one. And the first item was quiteedic for some reason. [Name: rk Kent''s sses] [Type: Equipment] [Grade: SS] [Description: A casual ck-rimmed sses that could deceive even God''s eyes.

Its capabilities centered around poison, medicine, purification, and space] [Warning! The Sky Poison Pearl can release a poison called the Heaven Wounding Thought Severing Poison, which could y gods and devils] "Yeoui... It''s an imperfect Divine Weapon because Ogre''s soul wasn''t residing within it." Huo Yuhao muttered while looking at the Monkey King''s famous staff. Scathach was nagging him for not using a staff-like weapon for years because it doesn''t synergize well with his sses, but with Yeoui, that shouldn''t be a problem. Of course, he mastered the staff and spear because of Scathach''s inhuman teaching for years. He shivered when thinking about it because he would lose one or two limbs every training session. Huo Yuhao summoned Yeoui and saw a stone-looking bo staff drop from thin air. He prepared himself and caught the staff, finding it heavier than anything he had wielded. His muscle flexed for several minutes before he could finally endure it. "Damn, you''re heavier than I thought." Hemented with a speechless tone. [Do you want to form a connection with Yeoui?] Evo asked with a monotonous voice. [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Sure." Inside Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Sea, the contracted souls suddenly felt a suction force that devoured their host''s Spiritual Energy and Spirit Energy like tomorrow. Spirit Energy Core and Spiritual Core are brimming with white light, moving to Huo Yuhao''s hand and covering the stone-looking bo staff. "What''s this?" Eluxia used her Divine Sense and felt Primal Dragon Auraing from the staff in Huo Yuhao''s hand. After a few minutes, Huo Yuhao gasped in surprise because Yeoui swallowed 40% of his energy. And it would take a few days to recover them. [True Lord of Dragons activated] "Come on, girl. Settle down." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes shone with a purplish draconic aura and firmly grasped the rough yet smooth surface of Yeoui. [Yeoui has acknowledged you] The weight disappeared, and Huo Yuhao finally let out a sigh of relief. He patted the stone-looking bo staff and said, "Take care of me well, okay." "Now, the next item might be dangerous..." [Do you want to form a connection with Sky Poison Pearl?] [Yes/No] A green-colored circr sphere the size of a person''s palm appeared before Huo Yuhao. He felt such vicious energying from it but grasped it with his left hand. [Modifying Sky Poison Pearl''s Signature] [The process would be a little painful, host] [Please bear it for a moment] Huo Yuhao breathed in and circted Spirit Energy throughout his entire body. The Sky Poison Pearl released jade-like light and prated his skin, causing him to feel immense pain. [Pain Resistance Level 444] [Poison Resistance Level 329] [Your Poison Resistance has reached level 330] [Your Poison Resistance has reached level 331] [Your Poison Resistance has reached level 332] [Your Poison Resistance has reached level 333] [Your Poison Resistance has reached level 334] [Your Poison Resistance has reached level 335] [Your Poison Resistance has reached level 336] [Your Poison...] [Your Poison...] [Your Poison...] [Your Poison...] [...] [...] [...] [...] Huo Yuhao''s pale creamy skin bes greenish with several dark blemishes, but his energy runs well. Ancient Human''s Adaptability allowed Huo Yuhoo to withstand Sky Poison Pearl''s Poison. [You have attained Heavenly Poison Body(Passive)] A few hourster, Huo Yuhao opened his left palm and saw a green-colored circle mark. He smiled and heard Evo''s notification. [You have formed a connection with Sky Poison Pearl] He chuckled and said, "Sweet, another weapon I could use to fight Godster on." "W-What is that terrifying thing?!!" Tian Meng shouted with a terrified tone. "My spiritual body is trembling just by sensing it..." Bing Dimented while covering her body with a nket made of Ultimate Ice. "Mm, such a powerful poison." Eluxia moved her gaze to the green-colored mark on Huo Yuhao''s palm. "But everything is okay, right?" Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Yeah." And after that, Huo Yuhao had to exin what''s Yeoui and Sky Poison Pearl to his contracted soul and left them speechless inside the spiritual sea. "Don''t be too shocked. We haven''t tested Yeoui and Sky Poison Pearl against the Gods from Douluo Dalu''s Universe." He whistled and sensed someone entering the hot spring. Huo Yuhao decided to save the two Random Treasure Boxes forter and purified the hot springs with Sky Poison Pearl. His body releases some of the poison before. A blue-haired woman walked into the hot spring with a white towel wrapped around her body. She looked around and saw Huo Yuhao. "Oh, Your training is over, Yuhao?" Huang Yuna asked while waving her hand at him. "Yeah, do you want to join?" Huo Yuhao returned with a smirk, which caused the Qilin to giggle amusingly. She walked into the hot spring and replied, "Sure~!" "Hehehe, let me tell you the story of Heavenly Bread Master." Chapter 77: Relax Time and Tiny Problem? Chapter 77: Rx Time and Tiny Problem? --- Chapter 77 --- After bathing in the private hot springs with Huang Yuna, Huo Yuhao brought the curious Qilin to the Self-Evolving Dungeon to pass a secret order. Since most of the higher-ups and high-ranked members of Dragon Nest would go to the Highschool DxD''s world, Huo Yuhao needed a solid wall to protect the Dragon Nest. They arrived at the most distant area inside Advalon, the edge of the Self-Evolving Dungeon. The Auspicious Monarch, Huang Yuna, looked around curiously and nodded because no matter how much she visited this odd ce, it was magical. "So, what do you want from me?" Huang Yuna turned around and saw Huo Yuhao, who had a weak smile on his handsome face. Huo Yuhao shook his head and answered, "I want you to protect the Dragon Nest from now on. Yuna, my next mission would cause the Dragon Nest to be weaker, but I know you have reached 1.000.000 years old." [Name: Huang Yuna] [Type: Divine-Blooded Spirit Beast] [Age: 1.500.000 years old] [Description: Huang Yuna is a Mythical Qilin that possesses the Divine Blood of all five Auspicious Beasts, having natural power over fundamental elements andws that exceed her ancestors. She was the fated-to-be ultimate creature that stands on the Apex of all Spirit Beasts.] [Yuna like Bread and Huo Yuhao the most in this world] "Those eyes are surely amazing." The Mythical Qilin giggled while thinking about her meeting with Huo Yuhao. She was amused inside and allowed him to win regardless of their shing luck, but he also read her trick. No, they are both cheating to win. She stared at the young man before her and continued, "Oh well, I''ll do my best, leader." "The payment, though." "I''ll make bread for you." Huo Yuhao answered, which caught her off guard. Even though many people know this already, Huo Yuhao''s cooking skill was matchless in the Dragon Nest''s Community. The only person Huang Yuna knew that could defeat him in cooking was probably only Huo Yun''er. "I''ll make bread for Five years..." "DEAL!" Huang Yuna''s eyes shone excitedly while tackling Huo Yuhao to the ground. "Hehehe~! You get yourself a deal, Yuhao!" Huo Yuhao chuckled because the Qilin was easier to tame than he thought. She drooled already when hearing he would make bread for her. "What a glutton." Hemented while patting her head gently. "Hmph, you''re lucky because I''m such a generous Auspicious Beast." She pouted, which made her even cuter. "Here, I''ll give you a lucky charm." Huang Yuna reached her antlers and snapped the end part to create an artifact bestowed with her power. She clenched her hand and brought her mouth close to gently blow the broken antler with five elemental enhancements, creating a beautiful pendant. [Name: Five Elemental Fortune Pendant] [Type: Blessed Artifact/Spirit Bone] [Age: 1.500.000 years old] [Description: A portion of Mythical Qilin''s Antler, possessing all fundamental five elements and great luck bestowed for the wearer] [Innate Effect: Reduce Elemental Damages by 75% and Increase the wearer''s luck by 50%] Huang Yuna stretched the pendant''s segment and wrapped it around Huo Yuhao''s neck, kissing him on the lips. She hugged him and whispered, "I''ll be waiting." "It wouldn''t take long." Huo Yuhao enveloped her thin waist and kissed her back. ... ... Huo Yuhao and Huang Yuna went to the Dragon Nest''s main base, Naga''s Den. They walked to the house and met with Huo Yun''er, Qianye Ying''er, and Scathach again. After telling each other stories, they took a nap in the main bedroom. Four hours passed quickly, and Huo Yuhao''s senses returned to normal again because his mental prowess had recoveredpletely. He looked at his four beautiful partners and checked their overall strength. [Name: Huo Yun''er] [Age: 32] [Race: Ancient Human, Divine Fox, Heavenly Spirit Woman] [Cultivation: Level 130/1st ss God(No God Seat)] [Martial Souls: Mystic Truth-Seeking Eyes(12+), Nine-Tailed Divine Fox(10+), ck Fan of Samsara(1+)] [Power Level: Level 130.9/Highest Wild God] [Description: A woman with ultimate Son Complex and boundless love for her beloved Hao''er] [[Name: Qianye Ying''er] [Age: 12] [Race: Ancient Holy Human, Archangel(+), Dragon-Blooded Saintess(+)] [Cultivation: Level 91/Title Douluo] [Martial Soul: Holy Dragon Battle g(9+), Brahma Soul Bell(2+)] [Description: The greatest fanatic believer in Huo Yuhao''s religion] [Name: Scathach/Yang Xin] [Age: 12/Young Immortal] [Race: Ancient Human(+), True Immortal(+), Progenitor Vampire(+)] [Cultivation: Level 96/Hyper Douluo] [Martial Souls: Gae Bolg Alternative(5+), Heaven Breaking Spear(9+)] [Description: The reincarnated God yer and Warrior Queen with an extreme teacher-student fetish] "You guys have be stronger. I''m so proud." Huo Yuhao said while caressing their silky hairs. "Say that to yourself, Hao''er~!" Huo Yun''er curiously returned with a giggle because her son''s strength exceeded her by somewhat of andslide. Even though Huo Yun''er had reached the realm of a god, despite not having God Seat, the Divine Fox''s primal instinct told her that Huo Yuhao could defeat her anytime. Scathach also noticed that sensation from Huo Yuhao and continued, "Honestly. I have nothing to say besides, as expected of my disciple. You passed my newest training routine faster than earlier." "I can''t wait to feel your strength." She whispered somewhat sensually with battle intent. "It would be amazing~." Qianye Ying''er shook her head because the mistress and teacher achieved a higher realm than her. After destroying and molding herself rapidly in the hellish training, She barely reached Title Douluo a day ago. However, that''s also abnormalpared to others because Qianye Ying''er was a Spirit Emperor before going through the God yer Project. "Don''t be discouraged, Ying''er." Huo Yuhao calmly reassured the golden-haired girl. "You''re achieving something impossible in the current era. And technically, the youngest Title Douluo ever recorded because Shishou and Me were a few months older than you." "You''re doing great." He patted her head gently. Qianye Ying''er had never felt sofortable because Huo Yuhao''s praise was like music in her ears. She rested her head on his firm and broad chest, feeling the warmth rushing to her heart. "Thank you, my lord~." She mumbled with a smile. Growl~! "Am I the only one hungry here?" Huang Yuna suddenly said while releasing a growling sound from her stomach. She blushed and made everyoneugh because only the gluttonous Qilin could break such tension. Huo Yuhao rolled his sleeve and said, "Well, there is only a day left before our mission begins. Let''s enjoy our time together." "I''ll cook something for us." "Yey~!" Huang Yuna jumped on the bed excitedly. ... ... After cooking for everyone, Huo Yuhao decided to check on the Shrek Academy because, unlike the Shadow Clone from Naruto Universe, Dark Avenger Clone was "spiritually." linked to him. So he knew a group of annoying people from the Qianye n had been knocking on Housing Dorm No.14''s gate. A young man named Sihan Tu, in particr, relentlessly challenged the exchange student from Dragon Nest to gain Qianye Ying''er attention. However, since Qianye Ying''er has been training the whole time in the Advalon to be God yer, she doesn''t even care about this guy. Even though Yan Shaozhe warned Qianye n''s representatives not to create trouble and problems against the Dragon Nest, Sihan Tu didn''t care and kept visiting Housing Dorm No.14 for five days straight. Sihan Tu thinks Shrek Academy isn''t worth his attention because he has Qianye n to back him up. Not to mention Sihan Sect is well-known in the Star Luo Empire for raising talented seedlings. "Ugh, that guy is still here?" Qianye Ying''ermented while walking out of the Wormholes Huo Yuhao created to visit Shrek Academy. "Who?" Scathach munched on her sandwich. "That clown? He doesn''t look special." Qianye Ying''er sighed and answered, "When I awakened the Battle g as my martial soul six years ago. My disgusting father lost hope in me and decided to sell my young beauty to a famous sect called Sihan Sect." "He arranged a marriage between me and Sihan Sect''s sessor, Sihan Tu. He''s quite talented for Douluo Continent''s standard, but not worth mentioning in Dragon Nest because any advanced ss student could kill him easily." [Name: Sihan Tu] [Age: 24] [Race: Human] [Cultivation: Level 55/Spirit King] [Martial Soul: Jade-Swallowing Moon Serpent] [Description: A fool who thinks with his lower head] Sihan Tu is a handsome young man in his early twenties. He''s around 179 centimeters with slick ck hair held by a jade hairpin. He wore a golden robe with bold ck characters of the Sihan Sect. "He''s twice your age?" Huo Yuhao said, to which Qianye Ying''er responded with a nod. Qianye Ying''er lowered her amethyst-colored eyes to the front gate and replied, "I''ll deal with him myself. No, killing him should be fine to warn Sihan Sect and Qianye n." "Can I do that?" "Sure, you can even dere war on them." Huo Yuhao coldly responded with a grin, which caused Scathach to gasp in excitement. "E-Ehem, I supported Yuhao''s decision. Go, Ying''er!" Scathach faked a cough. Qianye Ying''er couldn''t help but roll her eyes when seeing Scathach''s reaction because she didn''t even bother to hide it from Huo Yuhao anymore. "Give me a few minutes." Qianye Ying''er disappeared from Huo Yuhao''s room. As Qianye Ying''er reached the front gate, Huo Yuhao smirked andmented, "Wanna bet?" "What bet?" Scathach returned with a curious look. "Well, simple. How many limbs do you think that guy would have after this." He whistled while leaning on the window, watching the whole area with Kenbunshoku Haki. The God yer frowned and stated, "I''ll trust my instinct and bet with Zero. He would lose all his four limbs." "Five." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Eh??" "That guy would lose all his five limbs." Chapter 78: Qianye Yinger Domination Chapter 78: Qianye Ying''er Domination --- Chapter 78 --- Qianye Ying''er walked out of Housing Dorm No.14 and faced Sihan Tu with a calm look on her face. She doesn''t wear a veil to cover her face, so her beauty is exposed to the whole area around the building. Everyone was stunned because she was like a pure yet beautiful saintess that stepped into the world to purify it. Her graceful aura washed over the area, making everyone instinctively stare at her amethyst-colored eyes. The males with a weak will bent their knees, while the female felt powerless before her beauty. Awe and Jealousy, but more importantly, disbelief spread among them. At the block near Housing Dorm No.14, Wang Dong covered his mouth and whispered, "Is Ying''er also like me? But there is no way because Father said God or their descendants cannot stay in the mortal world without getting sealed..." "Dragon Nest, what are you guys?" "Especially you, Yuhao." He solemnly watched over Qianye Ying''er encounter with Sihan Tu. That annoying man has been provoking Dragon Nest''s exchange students inside the Shrek Academy for days. However, no one can fight him because Qianye n and Sihan Sect are known to have a massive influence on the Douluo Continent. And Sihan Tu also doesn''t break any rules yet. "That guy is dead." Xiao Xiao suddenlymented while leaning on the wall beside Wang Dong. Wang Dong was startled and jumped like a cat, "Hyaa~! Don''t frighten me like that, Xiao Xiao!" Xiao Xiao chuckled because Wang Dong''s reaction was amusing inside. "You know Wang Dong. You sometimes act more like a girl than a boy." Shemented because his mannerisms and everything are too feminine for a boy. Feeling like his secret somehow was exposed by her, Wang Dongughed out loud to cover his nervousness and dodged Xiao Xiao''s suspicious gaze. "Haha~! What are you talking about, Xiao Xiao? There is no way I''m a girl." He responded while checking his disguise art. Even though Xiao Xiao was mortal, he couldn''t let his guard down. "Well, I''m just saying." Xiao Xiao returned while moving her gaze to Qianye Ying''er. She had to admit the golden-haired girl was more beautiful than other girls and approved to be one of Huo Yuhao''s harem members. "Wang Dong, how strong do you think Qianye Ying''er was?" Wang Dong tilted his head and returned, "Ying''er? She is a Spirit King at 12, and that should speak enough volumes to her true strength, right?" Xiao Xiao couldn''t help but chuckle when hearing Wang Dong''s answer because he was more naive than she expected. She tasted Qianye Ying''er personally and realized the pure-looking youngdy was holding her strength back. No, Xiao Xiao believed all Dragon Nest''s students were holding back because Shrek Academy doesn''t mean anything to them. "Oh yeah. Since you asked me about Ying''er, what do you think about Yang Xin?" Wang Dong asked Xiao Xiao, which caused the green-eyed girl to shiver in horror. Xiao Xiao felt a massive headache and wanted to vomit when hearing Yang Xin''s name. And To put it simply, Xiao Xiao was traumatized by Scathach''s inhuman training method to mold her body to be numb with pain. "A-Are you okay?" The cross-dressing girl noticed Xiao Xiao''s face be pale. Xiao Xiao adjusted her breathing and replied, "I-I''m okay." "Let''s just watch Ying''er." As they returned to their former attention, Xiao Xiao''s green eyes widened because several people suddenly appeared and surrounded Qianye Ying''er. Qianye Ying''er looked at the people from Qianye n andmented, "You guys are hiding for quite a while, huh." "Like little rats, that''s it." One hooded individual walked out of the group and lifted her hood. It was a stern-looking woman with fiery red hair and a scar on her neck. "Youngdy, please return to the Qianye n with us. Your father, The patriarch, has been searching for your well-being for six years." She said while facing Qianye Ying''er. Even though the woman was older than Qianye Ying''er, their height wasn''t that different, allowing the golden-haireddy to stare into the woman''s eyes. "You''re the secret order, No? Ye Ling, My father''s right hand." Qianye Ying''er replied. "It''s been six years, but your ugly face is still the same." "Youngdy." Ye Ling frowned immediately. "Please return to Qianye n." "I don''t want to use my strength-!" Qianye Ying''er hand flew in the air and pped Ye Ling''s face across the field. The red-haired woman blew into the Sea God Lake and caused a massive ripple. BAM! BOOM! "What strength?" Qianye Ying''er amethyst-colored eyes shone with a golden hue. Sihan Tu awakened from his stunned state and looked at Qianye Ying''er with a lustful gaze. It''s hard to believe a 12 years old girl could be this beautiful. Wiping the drool on his lips, he walked to Qianye Ying''er and bowed a little. "Oh, Ying''er~, We finally met again." "Do you miss me?" "It''s me, Sihan-!" Qianye Ying''er stepped on Sihan Tu''s thigh, forcing him to bow firmly on the ground. The heir of the Sihan Sect painfully groaned because the heels of Qianye Ying''er shoe prated his skin. She looked down and asked, "Sihan Tu, which one do you prefer right now? Death or be crippled for the rest of your life?" "W-What are you talking about-! ARRRGHHH!" Sihan Tu watched the golden light cutting his left arm. It was filled with heat and made him feel a painful experience. "M-MY ARM!!!" "ARRRGGHHH!" His blood-curdling cries reverberated in the field, making everyone gulp in dread. Ye Ling returned to Housing Dorm No.14 again, but everyone could see a red pping mark on her face. She reddened in shame because Qianye Ying''er dared to humiliate her. And her eyes widened when seeing the youngdy cutting Sihan Sect''s heir arm off. "NO!!" She ran toward them. "Holy Field." Qianye Ying''er casually lifted her palm and created a barrier to trap Ye Ling, pressuring the red-haired woman inside a light-powered chamber. Ye Ling summoned her martial soul and showed everyone that she was a Spirit Douluo with 8 Spirit Rings. A golden butterfly with a powerful light element manifested and released a golden beam. "BREAK!" She yelled coldly. Everyone closed their eyes and waited for an explosion, but nothing happened. Ye Ling froze on the spot and watched her golden beam disappear upon contact with the Qianye Ying''er barrier. "Ah, I forgot to tell you that Holy Field is a self-created skill. It absorbed any light element and strengthened itself, making it an archnemesis of Qianye n." Qianye Ying''er chuckled yfully. "Don''t make meugh!" Ye Ling''s eight spirit ring exploded with brilliance. Three images made of light appeared and created menacing golden light. Yet, as Qianye Ying''er said before, the light element would be ineffective inside the Holy Field and even be useless. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The relentless effort from Ye Ling makes everyone from the Qianye n speechless because the barrier is still perfect without any cracks whatsoever. Heck, it bes stronger and harder to attack now. "Swallowing Force..." Sihan Tu breathed heavily and opened his mouth, sucking the Spirit Energy from Qianye Ying''er body. He was furious because this bitch decapitated his left arm. Heughed and continued, "HEHEHE~! I''ll ravish your body and kill you after this, Ying''er. And no matter how much you fought back, I''ll enjoy your suffering with a smileter." Qianye Ying''er smiled and flicked her finger, causing a stream of holy light to cut Sihan Tu''s other arm. "You''re talking bullshit for someone who was on the ground, kneeling before me like a worthless dog." She heard a painful groan from Sihan Tu''s mouth. "ARGH!!" "H-How..." "My swallowing force should have weakened your power!" Sihan Tu screamed while looking at Qianye Ying''er with a shocked look. His Jade-Swallowing Moon Serpent should be powerful enough to overpower her trash g. "AARRGGHH!!!" His right leg burned to oblivion. Qianye Ying''er looked at Sihan Tu''s left leg and said, "Aww, you look like meat on a stick now." "How cute~!" Thatst line made everyone shiver because Qianye Ying''er sounded entertained by Sihan Tu''s state. It''s like Sihan Tu is nothing but a broken toy for her. The golden-haireddy suddenly brought up a g with a pure white pole. She looked at everyone and called her spirit rings, making Ye Ling, Sihan Tu, and everyone from Qianye n stare in astonishment. "F-Five ck Spirit Rings..." Sihan Tu looked at Qianye Ying''er like she was a monster. Ye Ling trembled and whispered, "What actually happened to her six years ago??" Qianye Ying''er casually stabbed the Holy Dragon Battle g on the ground and caused a massive white-scaled dragon to appear in the field. "Oh lord, please punish everyone that forsaken this follower of yours." She chanted while waving her g. Qianye n''s representatives watched the massive dragon open its mouth and swept them with a fiery breath filled with pure light elements, burning them to the ground. She doesn''t even blink when attacking them and cutting Sihan Tu''sst limb. "P-Please, don''t... Don''t kill me, ARRRGGGHHH!!" Sihan Tu pleaded and felt his right leg torn to pieces. "Wait, I heard you wanted to use my body before, right?" Qianye Ying''er lips leaned to Sihan Tu''s face. He was crying and having snot all over his face. "Then, I''ll cut your lower head too." "Don''t thank me for it." She chuckled while crushing the pitiful little thing with her heels. BAM! Crack! "AARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Sihan Tu passed out and became crippled with no way to recover after this. And Since Qianye Ying''er added every attack with her Haoshoku Haki unless Sihan Tu has gods on his side. BOOM! COUGHS!! Everyone from Qianye n coughed a mouthful of blood and dropped on the floor. As for Ye Ling, she received an extra attack on her face. "M-MY FACE!!" Ye Ling dropped to the ground and felt her skin melting down. She shrieked like a banshee, but no one dared to help her. Qianye Ying''er looked at everyone and dered, "With this, I announced that Dragon Nest would prohibit Qianye n and Sihan Sect from cooperating with us, and Anyone who sided with them would also get banned from buying resources from us." "Andstly, Qianye n and Sihan Sect..." "I, representatives from the Dragon Nest, dere your factions our enemy from now on..." Chapter 79: 1st Main Quest: World Travel Chapter 79: 1st Main Quest: World Travel --- Chapter 79 --- After themotion, Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe faced each other in Housing Dorm no 14''s living room. It seemed Shrek Academy was troubled by this event. "So, what are you doing here, Dean Yan?" Huo Yuhao smiled at the Dean of Shrek Academy because of themotion Qianye Ying''er had caused 30 minutes ago, which sparked a sensation inside the Academy. After all, Dragon Nest dered war against Qianye n and Sihan Sect, despite doing it with unorthodox disrespect. And Qianye Ying''er also crippled the Sihan Sect''s sessor without mercy. "Aih... You''re gone for five, no six days at this point. And created a problematic move." Yan Shaozhe sighed while rubbing his forehead. Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned, "It''s not like Shrek Academy was involved, no? From what I know, you have warned Qianye n''s representatives not to create a problem with us, and this is our answer." "To begin with, It''s their fault for harassing our students." An evil smirk appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because he could use this to make the Qianye n and Sihan Sect look even worse than now. Yan Shaozhe shook his head and continued, "Also, are you sure about the Qianye Ying''er deration? Even though I know Dragon Nest was strong with your standard and people like the Queen of Thunder and Ice Demoness, Qianye n and Sihan Sect are still formidable forces." "HAHAHA~!!" Huo Yuhao couldn''t hold hisughter and pped the sofa continuously for a few seconds. Yan Shaozhe''s statements sounded so funny in his ears because Qianye n and Sihan Sect couldn''t do anything to the Dragon Nest. They only have to send two or three God yers to wipe them outter. "Why did youugh?" Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. "Qianye n and Sihan Sectbined have at least 7 Title Douluos. They are well-known on the Douluo Continent and respected by factions like the Sun and Moon Empire." "And?" Huo Yuhao casually leaned on the sofa. "What can they do?" "Dean Yan, let me tell you something." "Dragon Nest would never lose against them." He walked toward Yan Shaoze and patted his shoulders. "Since you know Liu Mei, imagine 50 of her against thebination of Qianye n and Sihan Sect. Who do you think will win?" Yan Shaozhe was speechless when hearing the young man''s analogy but immediately became solemn after imagining fifty Queens of Thunder in the sky, creating massive destruction on the Douluo Continent. He wanted to confirm something and questioned, "A-Are you implying that Dragon Nest possessed such firepower?" "Hehe, Who knows~?" Huo Yuhao cheekily answered with a chuckle. "..." Yan Shaozhe. ... ... With a protein bar in his hand, Huo Yuhao yawned and watched Yan Shaozhe return to Sea God Ind to share this news with other Sea God Pavilion members. "Evo, I wanted to ask something..." [What is it, Host?] Evo responded with the usual monotonous tone. Huo Yuhao leaned on the door frame and asked, "Is there a time difference between Douluo Dalu and Highschool DxD''s World?" [The world of Highschool DxD naturally has a faster time than Douluo Dalu''s Universe. Still, not by much] [2 years in there equal to 6 months in the Douluo Dalu] "Thanks for the information, Evo." Huo Yuhao smiled while chewing on his protein bar. After confirming the time dtion with Evo''s help, Huo Yuhao told everyone through Giana about it. They are delighted to know the World Conquering Mission won''t take two years in real time because everyone has their agenda. And Dragon Nest also doesn''t have to worry about losing power for too long. [You have two hours left before the Main Quest] Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Giana." "Yes, Master~?" A small Giana appeared on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. "Tell everyone to gear up." "Okey, Dokey~! SIR~!" Giana spread her data and reached the ck Box under the Dragon Nest''s headquarters, Trisakti. She quicklyputed Huo Yuhao''s orders and sent them to people who were part of the World Conquering Group. Over a hundred pings simultaneously echoed inside Advalon, and everyone smiled because it was the moment. Huo Yuhao finished his protein and saw a fierydy approaching Housing Dorm No.14 from the Sea God Lake. It was Ma Xiaotao with a worried look on her face. "YUHAO~!" She yelled across the road and ran toward Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao stepped inside the dorm and waited for Ma Xiaotao to reach him. As she stepped on the doormat, he shut the wooden door and heard a crashing noise on the other side. "Uugh..." "H-How could you m a door on me..." Ma Xiaotao dropped to the floor and rubbed a red mark on her forehead. She pouted at Huo Yuhao adorably and crossed her arm, refusing to lift her body from this ce until he sincerely apologized. "Hmph! I won''t leave until you say sorry!" [Name: Ma Xiaotao] [Age: 23] [Race: Human, Young Fire Phoenix] [Cultivation: 77/Soul King(Reabsorbing Spirit Rings)] [Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix Empress(+5)] [Description: A young phoenixdy with deep fascination over a mysterious blue-haired boy] "Sorry, Senior Xiaotao. I thought a weirdo was running toward our dorm with ill intention." Huo Yuhao spoke sincerely. "epted." Ma Xioatao nodded her head like a chick. "Wait, are you telling me that I was a weirdo??" He offered his right hand to lift her and returned, "Of course, Not. Who would be dumb enough to call a beautiful Senior Sister like you a weirdo?" Ma Xiaotao felt happy inside when hearing Huo Yuhao''s answer and pulled herself up with Huo Yuhao''s help. She returned to her feet and looked around Housing Dorm.14 with a wary look. "Yang Xin is not here, right..?" She asked with a whisper. Huo Yuhao lifted his index finger and caught Ma Xiaotao''s attention as he drew it to the upper floor. The redhead''s face bes pale when sensing a familiar presence that jumps off the balcony. "Oh no..." "Well, you look healthier than six days ago. And definitely be stronger." Scathachmented while walking to Ma Xiaotao. "I bet you''re running excitedly here to be trained again by me." "Right?" Ma Xiaotao shook her head and responded, "U-Um. Actually." However, it was toote because from what Huo Yuhao knew after learning under the god yer for six years. Scathach takes no for an answer when asking her student about training. "Right??" Scathach grasped Ma Xiaotao''s shoulders firmly and stared at her ruby-like eyes. Ma Xiaotao trembled and whispered with a stutter, "Y-Yes..." "S-Save me, YUHAO!!" "Good Luck, Senior Xiaotao." Huo Yuhao casually waved his hand and watched Scathach dragging Ma Xiaotao away to the backyard. One hourter, Scathach returned to the dorm with a satisfied smile. Even though her clone would supervise Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong''s training for the next six months, she still needed slight amusement before going to another world. "Poor Xiaotao." Huo Yuhao smiled at Scathach. "You pushed her to the second stage already?" Scathach smiled back and replied, "Her nature as Fire Phoenix makes the training more effective. Even though she doesn''t have extreme adaptability and talents in some fields, Ma Xiaotao should be able to catch up with Dragon Nest Academy''s Advanced Division in six months." "This also applies to Xiao Xiao. As for Wang Dong, she''s a special case because of her origin." "Certainly. What a waste of talent." Huo Yuhaomented with a chuckle. ... ... One hour and forty-five minutester. Dragon Nest''s Secret Base, Shadow Rose Garden. Huo Yuhao, Qianye Ying''er, and Scathach arrived at the Shadow Rose Garden and "politely." were weed by several people who were part of the World Conquering Mission. And they could see Huo Yun''er waving her hand at them from afar. "Oh god, you are finally here." Xiao Chen walked out of the crowd with a marked silver box filled with devices from his research. [Name: Multi-Functional Workshop] [Type: Item] [Grade: SS+] [Description: Multi-Functional Workshop is a device created by Xiao Chen using Self-Created Compounds, a vast storage room enchanted with Expansion Rune to bring all his tools] Huo Yuhao nced at the marked silver box and said, "Oh, I see you bringing big guns for this mission." Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and answered, "Who do you think I am, Young lord? As the number one Spirit Engineer, how could I bring all my tools to Another World." "Just imagine how many rare and unknown materials I could obtain there?!" ''You''ll be disappointed, Xiao Chen.'' Huo Yuhao thought this because he believed Highschool DxD doesn''t possess that many rare materialspared to Douluo Dalu. He gazed at everyone and exined a few more things about Highschool DxD''s world since they would need to stay alert. "Everyone, listen to me." "When we arrive at the Highschool DxD, I want you to stay calm and collected. Also, Do not separate yourself from the group." Everyone nodded when hearing Huo Yuhao''s warning, waiting for the mission to get started by him. Huo Yuhao nced at the system panel near him. [5] [4] [3] [2] [1] [0] [...] [Initiating the Main Quest] A bright light covered everyone on the field, and Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, feeling the shift in space around him. He slowly opened his mouth and saw a barrennd with many living beings. [Error?!] Evo''s monotonous voice sounded somewhat confused. [Dimensional Conqueror(Passive) prevented the system from teleporting the Host correctly] [Please wait for 15 minutes] ROAR! ROAR! BOOM! A Red Dragon and a White Dragon fought against each other on the battlefield, roaring against Angels, Fallen angels, and Devils there. [Red Dragon Emperor] [White Dragon Emperor] "Are you kidding me??" Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in disbelief. Chapter 80: Great War Chapter 80: Great War --- Chapter 80 --- [Name: Y Ddraig Goch] [Race: Dragon] [Age: Unknown/Ageless] [Level: Heavenly Dragon] [Battle Power: Level 96/Hyper Douluo(Growing)] [Description: Ddraig is one of the Two Heavenly Dragons and the arch-rival of Albion. He is called the Red Dragon and is known as the Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch, Red Dragon Emperor and Red Dragon Emperor of Domination] Ddraig is a dragon with the appearance of arge red Western Dragon, with a long neck and green eyes. He also has dim red and golden spikes throughout his body adorning spiky-leather wings. [Name: Albion Gwiber] [Race: Dragon] [Age: Unknown/Ageless] [Level: Heavenly Dragon] [Battle Power: Level 96/Hyper Douluo(Growing)] [Description: Albion is one of the Two Heavenly Dragons and the arch-rival of Ddraig. He is called the White Dragon, also known as the Vanishing Dragon, Albion Gwiber, White Dragon Emperor, and White Dragon Emperor of Supremacy] Albion is an enormous white western dragon described as having a beautiful pure white body. He possessed blue eyes and two golden horns, but unlike most western dragons, had feathered wings. "Huh, They are weaker than I expected?" Huo Yuhao frowned because his Divine Dragon instinct told him to trample these red-white dragons. It''s like an inherent sensation that lingers within his blood. "Wait, let me check something..." He instructed Evo to scan everything on the battlefield and was shocked to discover none of these people, even at God Officer realm based on Douluo Dalu''s standard. Even though they are strong, they are way below what Huo Yuhao expected from his earlier calction. Gods in this world aren''t on the same level as Douluo Dalu''s Deities, which makes him underwhelmed. Highschool DxD''s powerhouse is strong, but only a few individuals could tap higher dimensions like Douluo Dalu''s Gods did. Huo Yuhao facepalmed himself and cursed, "Fuck, Years'' worth of Dragon Nest''s resources wasted!" "Yuhao, is this another world~? WOAH~!" Tian Meng''s curious voice echoed in the spiritual sea. She nced around the battlefield and felt overwhelmed by the destruction created by the Great War between God with Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, and Dragons. The Skydream Ice Worm wanted to vomit and groaned, "Uugh..." Eluxia was also somewhat shocked because this world was weaker than she expected. After all, Huo Yuhao mentioned several things that fascinate her, like God and Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils'' presence inside this ce, but sad to witness they are not even close to someone she doesn''t remember. "They are quite strong but weak?" The necromancer adorably tilted her head in confusion. Bing Di frowned and added, "Yuhao, are you sure this was the ce? Even though some beings are beyond my power before evolving, they are still manageable. Of course, those Dragons are out of the question." "I made a mistake." Huo Yuhao replied to them wryly because he assumed Highschool DxD would be a good match-up with the Dragon Nest, making himself think the anime world for horny teenagers scarier than it should have been. Yes, the reality is often disappointing. He chuckled in defeat and added, "You canugh at my stupidity and overreaction. I''ll ept it." The contracted souls shook their heads and replied, "We won''tugh at you, Yuhao." They have seen how much effort Huo Yuhao put into his training for over two months. Any living being shouldn''t be able to function well after such a hellish experience of pushing the limit every second, putting physical and spiritual pain to the highest level. Yet, their host did and recovered with just a casual dip in the hot springs and nap with hispanions. "Thanks, everyone." Huo Yuhao felt cheerful when hearing their responses. "Human??" "What''s human doing here?" Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a group of humans with bat-like wings on their backs. No, they are Devils whose appearance is no different than humans in this world, except for that distinct characteristic which was their bat-like wings. And by seeing the four wings behind these so-called devils, Huo Yuhao knew they were barely above the low-ss devils. "Whatever, I''ll just kill him." A young-looking devil suddenly lifted his hand to create a magic circle andunched an attack on Huo Yuhao. "Fireball!" Huo Yuhao saw the lousy fireballing andmented as if something extraordinary had happened before his eyes, "Oh, wow~! Fireball? Very ssic." BAM! "In the end, Demonic Power is Devil''s Blood Energy and maybe Mana." Huo Yuhao was unscathed and brushed some dust from his clothes. He currently wore Shrek Academy''s 1st-grade uniform with a ck cloak to cover it. "Not a bad attackpared to what Spirit Master with one spirit ring could do in the Dragon Nest." "And it''s fucking Weak." He indifferently red at them and clenched his hand to overpower the Demonic Power with his spiritual energy. The Devils were surprised, "What-!" Huo Yuhao appeared before the young-looking devil and sent a prating fist to obliterate his head. Even though he doesn''t use any spirit energy, his physical strength is overkill and more than enough to kill the devil with four wings. BAM! [You have killed a devil] "L-Lurem''s head!" The other devils watched the blue-haired human erase their friend''s head from existence, and the sheer power behind that punch took Lurem''s life. Huo Yuhao looked at them andmented, "You started this first, don''t regret it." "No-! AARRGGHH!" "Don''t kill..." "Fuck, DIE HUMAN-!" "Wind Magic-." [You have killed a devil] [You have killed a devil] [You have killed a devil] [You have killed a devil] Huo Yuhao used Universal Breathing Technique and inhaled the air on the battlefield. He was surprised to feel Spirit Circuits in his body absorb the natural energy of Highschool DxD''s world quite well. However, it still feels inferiorpared to Spirit Energy from Douluo Dalu''s universe. He stretched his neck and calmly muttered, "I have less than 15 minutes before Evo fixes the teleportation. Then, Shall I make a debut for myself?" "First of all, greetings." Huo Yuhao released 10 seals and inhaled enough oxygen to fill his lungs. He let Naga''s bloodline boil in his heart and applied Haoshoku Haki to enhance his voice. "Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Roar!!" RRROOOAAARRR!!! BOOM! A loud dragon roar followed by a massive shockwave swept over the battlefield and caught everyone''s attention, and even the two Heavenly Dragons stopped their fights. They trembled in pressure because such a frightening aura covered the whole ce a secondter, shaking their wills. Over a hundred thousand warriors from three sides fell to the ground because they couldn''t endure Huo Yuhao''s Dragon Presence and Haoshoku Haki. "What''s that? Such a powerful presence..." A silver-haired man clutched his head in pain. He was the first and only Lucifer Morning Star of this era, King of Devils, and one of the four great satans. An injured devil with a scar on his chest approached Lucifer and said, "Lucifer, we have to seize this chance. Let''s attack at the same time and catch God off guard." "I agree with Beelzebub. We can''t waste it." Said A woman with long ck hair and purple eyes. She wielded a ck staff, and her Demonic Power flowed through the blue gem embedded in it. Lucifer nced at his fellow satans and responded, "No, let''s not be hasty and watch for the situation first, Beelzebub, Leviathan." "Asmodeus-?" He frowned because thest satan was gone from his position. "That arrogant guy already went to the Dragon Roar''s source..." After thinking briefly about something, Lucifer sighed and told his wife something, "Lilith, tell everyone to hold their forces." The King of Devils was looking at the beautiful woman inside a solid magical barrier. Lilith is the mother of all devils and also Adam''s ex-wife. She has a voluptuous body, fair pale skin, silky silver hair, and unmatched brown eyes filled with experience. Despite that overtaxing duty Lilith does for Lucifer, she still channels her power that connects to all pure devils on the battlefield. And warned everyone to stay in position. In the sky, a holy-looking man in white armor closed his eyes and tried to detect the person who released such a terrifying force. "Father, what should we do?" A soft-spoken woman with 12 pure white angel wings appeared and kneeled before the Biblical God. She has the appearance of an "extreme." beautiful woman with curly blonde hair and a voluptuous figure and is known as the most beautiful woman in heaven. Her name is Gabriel, One of the four Seraphs. Another seraph followed after Gabriel, a handsome-looking man with long blond hair and green eyes. Like Gabriel, he has twelve wings growing from his back, and unlike other angels whose wings are white, his wing has a shade of gold. He''s Micheal. The other seraph also appeared, but they somehow were injured after shing with four Satans and their former brother and sisters who fell to worldly temptations. Uriel is a serious-looking guy with reddish-blonde hair. He was no more than 23 in appearance and wore white armor tainted by blood, which only had one shoulder te after fighting Azazel. As for Raphael, he looks awkwardly simr to Uriel besides their hair and aura. He had mid-length whitish-blue hair and wore white armor with several holes, having a gentle and calming energy to heal any angels near him. "Micheal, bring your brother to the Dragon Roar''s source. I''ll handle the situation from now on because Heavenly Dragons'' interference is hard enough for us." God said while creating a spear made of light. "We can''t afford to let another dragon meddle with the war." "Raphael, heal everyone while I defend the front line." "Uriel, protect Raphael." "And Gabriel, watch over the throne." He smiled, to which everyone responded with a nod. "As you wish, father." A firm replyes from the four seraphs. Meanwhile, the fallen angels'' side is no better because they have the lowest number in this great war. After the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor joined the battlefield, fallen angels started to lose. A man coughed a mouthful of blood. He''s in his twenties with an average build, ck hair, golden bangs, and a ck goatee. He also possesses twelve jet-ck feathered wings that grow out from his back. He''s the leader of Grigor, Azazel. "Fuck! What was that?!" Azazel wiped the blood from his mouth and looked north to where a terrifying Dragon Roar wasing from, which made him pale for a moment. He spewed nasty ck liquid from his mouth and cursed, "I couldn''t even recover my power properly because of the two heavenly dragons, and another oneing up here? Fuck ME!" Azazel looked at the destroyed battlefield and felt sad inside because Fallen Angels lost too many numbers. They were also pushed by the Devils and Angels, cing their position in a worse spot. "Baraqiel, how many did we lose?" He asked his fellow fallen angel. Baraqiel is a middle-aged, gruff-looking man with ck hair, a matching beard, and a muscr body. Being the Vice Governor General of the Fallen Angels, Baraqiel possesses ten ck wings. "58%..." Baraqiel answered solemnly. "It was still decreasing because of the Red Dragon Emperor''s me and White Dragon Emperor''s poison. Our soldiers are losing their lives left and right." Someone floated beside them and said, "Then, we shall make it even by destroying other factions too..." His name is Kokabiel, a man with long ck hair and red eyes, and unlike other Fallen Angels, he has pointy ears. And he also possesses five pairs of ck wings like Baraqiel. "Easy for you to say that, Kokabiel." Azazel sneered while using light energy to heal his injuries. ... ... "Albion." "Ddraig..." "That dragon. I don''t want to bet, but I''m pretty sure the previous Dragon roares from a Dragon God." The Red Dragon Emperor looked at his rival with a grave expression because they felt unknown fear in their blood. Albion nodded and responded, "Every inch of my body is shivering for a moment." "That dragon would be a fair opponent for us..." They frowned at each other and shouted, "MINE!" BOOM! BOOM! Huo Yuhao smiled and closed his eyes, waiting for the fish to take the bait. He peeked a little and saw a devil with twelve wings on his back. [Name: Asmodeus] [Race: True Devil/Satan] [Age: 300] [Level: Satan ss] [Battle Power: Level 94/Title Douluo] [Description: An arrogant devil who wanted to dominate the world with a half-baked n] Asmodeus is a human-like devil with a paleplexion, dark green eyes, and ck hair pulled to the back. And He looked at Huo Yuhao with confusion. How could a human reach this? [Ding! Quest] [Name: Debut! Makes a history in the Great War] [Objective: Defeat/Kills every faction''s leader] [Reward: Silver Upgrading Tickets(30), 1x Master ss Awakening Card] [Penalty: None] [Time Limit: 12 minutes and 30 seconds] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao answered casually. "Human, how did you enter this battlefield?" Asmodeus questioned while releasing his presence, causing the ground to tremble violently. "I was lost on the way to my destination. Will you trust me?" Huo Yuhao answered, which left some new people that arrived confused. "Of course, you don''t." "Anyway, let''s clear the misunderstanding." Huo Yuhao stepped once and summoned seven purple gold spirit rings, overflowing Naga''s presence again. Everyone pushed aside like a cotton ball and watched the blue-haired man in shock. "T-This is..." "You''re not a human!" "I''m a human, dragon, and war beast." A chuckle escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. "However, today... I''ll let you taste my best friend''s power." "Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Avatar." Everyone looked up and saw a towering silhouette with purplish-ck scales. It has a long, serpentine neck and tail, along with two pairs ofrge yet muscr wings. Its head features four unique backward-facing horns, rows of erged teeth, and fin-like ears. "D-Dragon God..." "Which one of you wants to die first?" Huo Yuhao''s eyes be deep purple with slits, releasing a fiery hue from Thunderfire. Chapter 81: Huo Yuhaos Debut? Chapter 81: Huo Yuhao''s Debut? --- Chapter 81 --- "Which one of you wants to die first?" That line sent a shiver to everyone on the battlefield. And even the God who faced the three satans and fallen angels 50 kilometers away unknowingly lifted his arm to defend himself like the words threatening him. "Come, Failure." Huo Yuhao swiped the air and called for the shark-shaped greatsword, inflicting fear upon anyone who was 20 levels lower than him. BAM! The greatsword dropped from thin air and abruptly pierced the ground, releasing a sharp bluish-dark gleam. Huo Yuhao grasped the handle with ease and lifted the Failure. [Dark Avenger ss was in effect] Huo Yuhao''s upper body pletely." was covered by purplish-ck scales, and four backward-facing dragon horns grew on the side of his head. When four muscr wings spurted from his back, Huo Yuhao''s left arm became dragon-like with sharp ck ws. Asmodeus felt his heart pumping blood rapidly and filling his body with nervousness. He stared at Huo Yuhao''s purple-slitted eyes and gulped because Dragon God seemed to set his eyes on him. "Magic Arrows." He breathed in and created a magic circle. Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and disappeared with faint purple electricity. "Too slow." Hemented while nting his fist on Asmodeus''s chest te. BAM! BOOM! A series of echoes reverberated on the battlefield, followed by Asmodeus''s painful groan. Satan couldn''t even blink before getting sted by Huo Yuhao in the chest. "Uugh, my body felt like shit." Asmodeus could feel his internal body receive substantial damages, enough to make him bedridden for months, and that''s just from one punch. Huo Yuhao kicked the ground to propel himself up and chased over Asmodeus like a predator hungry for its prey, "Who says you can run?" ROAR! The Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Avatar moved ording to Huo Yuhao''s will and trampled over the battlefield, killing over a thousand angels, fallen angels, and devils in just one swipe. It is like the incarnation of destruction because no one can stop the massive dragon from killing them. Unfortunately, they could only watch and wait for their turn to die. A violet-colored sun with ck cracks manifested above Naga''s avatar and burned everything within a one-kilometer radius to ashes. Its mere radiation causes several electrical discharges that zap any deemed evil creatures to oblivion. Huo Yuhao knitted his left arm''s muscle and flowed Blood Core''s energy to create a crimson aura, covering Failure''s edge with a menacing hue. "Avenger''s Dark Crash." He suddenly elerated and swung the greatsword, cutting Asmodeus in half and dragging the half-burned Satan on the ground like he was a ragdoll. BOOM! "Doom de." Huo Yuhao fell onto the battlefield and triggered several energy swords that burst off the ground, killing anything around it. He watched Asmodeus''s shocked face because the devil couldn''t react and got obliterated by him. [You have killed devils] [You have killed devils] [You have killed devils] [You have killed devils] [You have killed devils] [You have killed devils] [You have killed devils] [You have killed devils] [You have killed angels] [You have killed angels] [You have killed angels] [You have killed angels] [You have killed angels] [You have killed angels] [You have killed angels] [You have killed angels] [You have killed fallen angels] [You have killed fallen angels] [You have killed fallen angels] [...] [...] [...] "Why are you doing this?" Asmodeus tried to talk, despite losing the lower half of his body. His face also burned quite terribly. Huo Yuhao tilted his head and answered excitedly, "d you''re asking~! I''m here to conquer this world." "Conquer? Haha, what a monstrous dream for humans. Well, you''re strong enough to have such a goal." Asmodeus was speechless at first and began tough like a madman because the human''s goal was no different than his goal in this war. "Finish me. Purple Dragon Emperor." "Very well." Huo Yuhao decisively waved Failure and severed Asmodeus''s head, making one of satan his first kills in the Highschool DxD. [You have killed Asmodeus] "NOOO!!" A shoutes from Leviathan when watching her fellow satan beheaded by an unknown human. She was filled with rage and waved her staff to create a massive magic circle, summoning an enormous body of water. BOOM! "I''ll drown you to death..." Leviathan''s purple eyes shone coldly. Huo Yuhao stabbed Failure on the ground and started to wave his hand randomly, condensing Naga''s Bloodline into his lung to ignite Thunderfire rapidly. "Katon: GO FUCK YOU NO JUTSU!" He inhaled the air and spewed a massive purple fiery breath that shed with Leviathan''s wave. Demonic-powered Water and Thunderfire smashed against each other, creating super hot steam with a strong electric current on the battlefield. [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] "I-Impossible!" Leviathan''s eyes widened in disbelief because her water magic "easily." was countered with half-assed skill from this draconic human. Huo Yuhao suddenly jumped out of the steam with a deep crack in the ground and appeared beside Leviathan in a second. He clenched his hand into a fist and smashed the female satan''s head without mercy. "Nothing is impossible, even your death." Another ten seals lifted from Huo Yuhao''s body. SWOOSH! BAM! Leviathan''s whole head fell into chaos because the damage shook her brain, destroying it into a pulp as Prating Fist with Busoshoku allowed Huo Yuhao to injure something from the inside out. [You have killed Leviathan] Ten shockwaves echoed in sequence, creating a path for Leviathan''s crumpled dead body to fly away. Huo Yuhao checked his cloak and saw two vials filled with Asmodeus and Leviathan''s blood. A smile appeared on his face because Eas was doing a good job collecting them while he was destroying two satan. "Oh, you finally show up. Angels." Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Micheal with over a thousand angels behind him. They are clenching their weapons, clearly afraid of him, especially the disy of power he has shown so far. Micheal calmly lifted his hand to reassure the angels behind him and opened his mouth, "Can we settle this matter peacefully, Purple Dragon Emperor? After all, our father God and Angels haven''t provoked you once." Huo Yuhao was amused and returned, "It''s the second time someone called me the Purple Dragon Emperor. It has a nice ring to it, not going to lie." "Still, for settling things down peacefully. I think that would be impossible." "Pardon?" Micheal looked at Huo Yuhao with a confused expression. Huo Yuhao shrugged and casually added, "My goal is to conquer this world. Unless your father and all angels kneel before me, surrendering your faction, I would never view you as my allies." Micheal couldn''t believe his ears for a moment and frowned because Huo Yuhao''s request was too ridiculous. After all, He wanted to make God bow before him. "T-That is..." The male seraph whispered to himself. "Impossible? I don''t think so." Huo Yuhao replied to Micheal''s stutter. Even the seraph couldn''t help but feel conflicted when hearing his creator had to bow for someone else. "Sealing Magic!" A magic circle appeared around Huo Yuhao and sealed the space. Looking at this, the blue-haired young man chuckled and saw the three factions surrounding the area because they had to make a temporary deal to stop him. "Funny." Huo Yuhao grinned like an eager child. "Very funny." "Just a moment ago, you were fighting each other." "And now united to fight me." ROAR!! The Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Avatar was tied by God''s Power and trapped insideyer uponyer of barriers. The massive dragon doesn''t like it and continues to destroy the seals one after another, making God''s face pale. Huo Yuhao also could feel Ddraig and Albion waiting in the sky for a chance to fight him. At this very moment, he faced over one hundred thousand enemies or even more, and couldn''t hide his excitement. "Haha..." "HAHAHAHA~!!!" "Naga is right. Nothing is more exciting than witnessing your opponents'' band together to fight you." Huo Yuhao''s purple-slitted dragon eyes gained a grayish-gold hue. "It''s exciting because you can wipe them in one attack..." BOOM! CRACK! "What kind of dragon..." God''s hand trembled violently because Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Avatar broke one hundred seals in one head bump. BOOM! CRACK! ROAR! Naga''s avatar longed for freedom and bashed every barrier God created. Its purplish-dark scales released a crimson light, and every faction''s leader could feel something dangerous was about to happen. BOOM! KACHA! Huo Yuhao smiled inside because God''s divinity couldn''t hold the power of the Purple-med Divine Dragon. Even though he hadn''t pletely." condensed Naga''s power, it was more than enough to trample everyone here. "You..." God muttered because such strength shouldn''t exist in this world. An existence like Great Red and Ophis has exceeded the norm already. And not to mention the Apocalyptic Beast, who has been sleeping for years. "Another irregrity." He oversaw the three sides of Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils in the area and prepared a n. Still, no matter how much God thought about it, he couldn''t see a future where they could win against this monster. ROAR! Naga''s avatar reappeared behind Huo Yuhao and roared at everyone, deafening them. The dragon prepared Thunderfire to attack, but Huo Yuhao stopped it. He told Toolbox''s Spirit/Palu to make a sturdy saber and closed his eyes, letting three factions prepare for an attack. "Everyone, listen to me well," God called three faction leaders with a solemn look. "There is only one way for us to survive this attack." "Prepare your most "powerful." attack without holding back and attack the Purple Dragon Emperor simultaneously." "There is no other way besides this, huh?" Lucifermented while looking at Huo Yuhao with a meticulous gaze. This blue-haired young man killed thousands of devils and two satans in just a few minutes. He appeared out of nowhere and created absolute chaos. Azazelughed and added, "Whatever you say, Pop." "Be respectful, Azazel!." Gabriel pouted, which caused Azazel tough because even after falling to worldly desire, the chief of chastity still treated him the same. ... ... Huo Yuhao breathed out and opened his eyes, seeing so many magic circles and holy light powers around him. He pulled a saber from Palu''s mouth and allowed everyone to see a semi-divine weapon. [Name: Star Quaking Saber] [Type: Spirit Weapon] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Star Quaking Saber is a weapon made of Uru and a thousand types of rare metals, using a Thunderfire-powered forge to refine everything into one saber] [It''s a half-step Divine Weapon, having the ability to could cut through magic or all kinds of energy upon contact and even space based on the wielder''s affinity with the saber itself] [Innate Ability: Star Quaking sh, Unbreaking(XII), Energy Mending, and Glory] [Warning! Since Star Quaking Saber is a half-step Divine Weapon, it has a newly born spirit weapon and is considered a "bewitched." weapon because of refinement from Thunderfire] A saber appeared before everyone''s eyes. It has a mainly ck-colored body with crack-like patterns all over it and a brownish handle with unknown characters carved into it. The de is around 122 centimeters, gleaming with dreamy white light. The handle is 20 centimeters and made of apressedpound to withstand Uru''s alloys. Huo Yuhao slowly grasped the handle and felt thefortable texture grazing his palm. If Yeoui is a prideful weapon, Star Quaking Saber is like a newborn to him. "Ste." He granted the saber a name. "We are going to cut through stars." Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to everyone and dered, "Come." "ATTACK!!!" The three leaders shouted simultaneously, causing a barrage of attacks to swarm the area. God''s divine power covered the battlefield to create seals, wishing it could prevent Huo Yuhao from fighting back for a few moments. However, they underestimated Huo Yuhao, who only released 20 of his entire seals. They thought the monstrous being had shown all its power to them, but the reality was far beyond their imagination. "Four Season Saber Technique..." Huo Yuhao gently lifted Ste, giving the saber a chance to shine brilliantly under everyone''s gaze. He stepped onto the barrier God created to contain him and moved in such a slow manner. "Fifth Move: Endless Metamorphosis." God and other leaders'' factions opened their mouths and felt supreme sharpness overflowing in the air, frowning because the Purple Dragon Emperor could disy more powerful skill than before. "Huh?" Lucifer''s eyes widened because the scenery around them changed into a fuzzy spring. He could hear a painful groan across the battlefield. And seeing his own body floating in the air. "This..." Beelzebub felt his neck burning and saw the fuzzy spring be summer with searing temperature. He couldn''t even react, only discerning the burn in his soul. Azazel raised his arm instinctively to guard and experienced soft raindrops that pierced his body like no tomorrow. His face became pale like paper when the raindrop showed its real power. "F-FUCK!!!" He lost a chunk of his body and survived because of the regeneration speed he had invented beforehand, but others weren''t so lucky. God''s violently whole body trembled when sensing absolute frost invading his skin. He looked at his non-existent arm and clutched his hollow chest. "H-How could someone possess such a power?" As the cycle of the season quickly happened and ended on the battlefield, Huo Yuhao finished his technique by tearing through space. BOOM! [You have killed Beelzebub] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] The battlefield ttened and turned into a destroyednd with a hint of season changes. Huo Yuhao breathed out and smirked because Ste survived Four Season Saber Technique''s intensity. Any S Grade weapon would immediately break because of the sheer force he ced on it. "Good girl." Huo Yuhao praised the saber. "Be proud of all of you who survived. Because I, Huo Yuhao, only used that technique once!" [You have 44 seconds left] "Now, what should I do with you two?" He nced at the Ddraig and Albion. Chapter 82: Great War Ended Chapter 82: Great War Ended --- Chapter 82 --- "What should we do, Albion?" Ddraig asked while solemnly looking at the unknown Dragon''s incarnation. This neer''s strengths exceeded Satan, Seraph, Fallen Angels, and God, leaving the Red Dragon Emperor speechless. The White Dragon Emperor frowned inside when hearing his rival''s question because he also didn''t know how to defeat Huo Yuhao. Even though he was suspicious about something, Divine Dividing should be able to weaken this blue-haired monster''s strength. "I have a n, but I won''t share it with you," Albion answered casually. "Such a powerful dragon is certainly a fine enemy to fight." Ddraig couldn''t believe this guy and spouted, "Are you kidding??" The Heavenly Dragons bantered with each other and trembled for some reason. They witnessed Huo Yuhao draw a saber out of nowhere and swung the frightening weapon gently, but the effect was out of this world. There is no sign of dimensional warping, but the scenery changes abruptly because of Huo Yuhao''s intent. Four seasons manifested on the battlefield and swept over the three factions in the storm. Huo Yuhao shed the space with his saber, creating several cracks that ttened thend. BOOM! "Shit!" Ddraig cursed when seeing this. Albion also couldn''t believe his eyes because such destruction "literally." was created by a single individual being. Even though the White Dragon Emperor was confident in his strength, he was sure Huo Yuhao was still holding himself back. It was a gut feeling, but he could only trust it now. "T-This is going to be a rough fight..." "Then, what should I do with you two?" Huo Yuhao turned around and looked at them with a small smile. Albion breathed in and prepared his poison to fight this blue-haired monster. He descended from the sky and channeled his power to sh with him. "Reduce." A wide spray of poison was spread over the sky and covered Huo Yuhao from every direction. The White Dragon Emperor roared and used his ability to divide Huo Yuhao''s power. Huo Yuhaoughed inside and told Eas to collect several drops of blood samples from every faction''s leader. He moved his gaze back to Albion and used Sky Poison Pearl to absorb the White Dragon Emperor''s poison. [You have obtained Albion''s poison] "W-What??" The White Dragon Emperor was flustered because his poison disappeared into nothing. The only thing left in the sky was Huo Yuhao, with glowing green light on his palm. Huo Yuhao kicked the air and advanced toward Albion, feeling white light escaping his body. He tilted his head because his strength suddenly was divided in half. "So this is Divine Dividing?" Hemented while watching Albion absorbing half of his power. Albion absorbed Huo Yuhao''s strength and was overwhelmed with unknown energy. He coughed a mouthful of saliva because a choking sensation was spreading from his chest. Even though he became stronger by absorbing Huo Yuhao''s strength, his body felt like it was about to break. Huo Yuhao lifted another seal and boosted his overall strength by three times. "Heh." He gradually grinned and clenched Ste''s handle. Albion watched the blue-haired monster appear before his eyes and instinctively swung his dragon w at him. Huo Yuhao''s saber pushed Albion''s w and exposed the White Dragon Emperor''s chest. CLANK! BOOM! "Boost!" Ddraig entered the battle and spat a fiery breath at them. ROAR~! BOOM! [Fire Resistance has nullified Fire Damages] Huo Yuhao kicked Albion''s body away and focused his attention on Ddraig. "Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Roar!" He inhaled oxygen into his lung and added Naga''s bloodline power to spark Thunderfire. BOOM! Crimson and Purple mes shed in the sky, increasing the heat in the atmosphere. ck clouds formed around them, and Huo Yuhao used this tounch thunder strikes. "Thunderfire''s Crash." BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A sequence of thunder strikes powered by natural Thunderfire and Red Dragon Emperor''s me, hitting Ddraig straight in the face. "Y-You used my me against me?!" Ddraig was dumbfounded and felt a sting on his face because Huo Yuhao did injure him. "AAAAAA! Boosts x10." He used histent ability and charged toward the new enemy. "Prating Fist." Huo Yuhao entered a stance and pulled his entire right arm back, pushing his whole body to add more force to this attack. "DIVIDE!" "DIVIDE!" "DIVIDE!" "DIVIDE!" "DIVIDE!" "DIVIDE!" Huo Yuhao frowned and noticed his fist be slower because of Albion''s ability. Ddraig rotated his whole massive body and swung his tail at him. BAM! A tail whip and fist made contact, causing Huo Yuhao to fly several meters away. He breathed in and employed Universal Breathing Technique to trigger every billion Spirit Circuits in his body, manifesting a half-destroyed demonic white mask with ck marks. "Boost!" "Boost!" "Boost!" "Boost!" Ddraig charged again and boosted his strength four times to fight Huo Yuhao again. However, to Red Dragon Emperor''s surprise, Huo Yuhao tossed his saber into the void and weed him with nothing but his bare hands. "HAHAHA, YES!" "SHOW ME YOUR STRENGTH!" A burst ofughter escaped Ddraig''s mouth. "Space Maniption." Huo Yuhao''s hand shone with a dreamy white color. "Space Distortion: Quake." Albion gasped on the ground because Huo Yuhao''s strength was too much for him to absorb. Even after expelling 80% of it, he still couldn''t use it well. "T-This is too much." He whispered to himself, feeling every inch of his body bloating like a balloon. "Huh? What the..." The White Dragon Emperor looked up and watched Huo Yuhap punching the air before him, creating a crack in the air akin to ss. BOOM! Ddraig blinked once and abruptly faced a quake that shook the sky. He was caught off guard and felt a hurting crash on his body. BAM! The Red Dragon Emperor fell to a mountain and destroyed it with his body. He trembled because the quake shook his whole body and organ, bypassing his dragon scales and thick muscles. Huo Yuhao breathed out and received a notification that Eas had collected every blood sample from the faction''s leaders and 72 demon pirs. He smiled inside and used Kenbunshoku Haki to check the survivor, finding some people living out of the Four Saber Season Technique''s fifth move. Well, it''s not like Huo Yuhao was going all out because he hasn''t used any Authority Negation from Chains of Heaven. A spirit skill ability that seals Gods or Divine Beings'' divinity, making them no different than mortals. Unless they are strong from the beginning, Chains of Heaven would be their archnemesis. The Chains of Heaven are also a threat to all beings deemed as monster-like because Huo Yuhao''s second spirit ring allowed him to debuff them with his presence alone. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao looked down and saw Albion rising to the sky with a determined look. He watched the White Dragon Emperor rushing toward him and spraying another poison. "You know this is not going to work, right?" A chuckle escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. Even without Sky Poison Pearl, he has a body resistant to poison. He utilized Extreme Lightning Mirage and coated his fist with Busoshoku and Haoshoku Haki, moving to the White Dragon Emperor with a confused look. His Kenbunshoku Haki red and foresaw a future. "Prating Fist." He punched Albion and noticed the White Dragon Emperor''s body release a white light. Albion grinned and shouted, "Reflect!" BAM! "Ugh..." Huo Yuhao received a reflect damage like the future sight and faked a painful groan. Albion seized this once-in-a-lifetime chance and tried to bite him, flooding him with poison that could reduce the existence of all organic matter, including Gods. Even their souls are reduced bit by bit. "FALL!" The White Dragon Emperor tried to tear Huo Yuhao''s body apart but discovered something weird. His fangs couldn''t pierce through the blue-haired monster''s clothes. "Gotcha." Huo Yuhao has coated his whole body and uniform with Busoshoku Haki. He clenched his hand and blew Albion''s mouth with an enormous force, driving them both to the ground. BOOM! A massive white-scaled dragon fell from the sky and crashed to the ground. Huo Yuhao kicked the cage of Albion''s tooths and saved them all for ingredientster. Of course, Huo Yuhao also collected the White Dragon Emperor''s blood, flesh, and scales. He stepped out of the fainted Albion''s mouth and noticed a fiery dragon charging toward him. Ddraig boosted his strength a hundred times and prepared a fire with another ability of his. "Prate!" Ddraig swung his fiery w at Huo Yuhao. "Oh, Scary... Here, Take it yourself." Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and created a wormhole, transferring Ddraig''s attack back to himself. BAM! "Y-You bastard-!" Ddraig''s eyes widened in disbelief. His fiery w entered a portal and stabbed his fucking own chest. ROAR! "Hehe~!" Huo Yuhao jumped and delivered Ddraig the same treatment as Albion, knocking some of the Red Dragon Emperor''s teeth off. BAM! Ddraig received enormous damage because Huo Yuhao injured his body and mind with abination of Busoshoku and Haoshoku Haki. The Red Dragon Emperor fainted and dropped to the ground. His massive body swept thend, pushing a cloud of dust away. BOOM! Huo Yuhao collected all kinds of things from Ddraig''s body and thought about something for a moment. "Hmm, should I kill them?" He pondered for a moment. "Wait, let''s try that." He activated True Ancestor Eyes and used the second spirit ring ability. [True Ancestor Eyes of the Lord] [1st Spirit Ring: Skydream Ice Worm] [2nd Spirit Ring(+)] [Name: Soul Devouring Butterfly] [Type: Spirit Ring/Cursed Beast''s Essence] [Age: 1.000.000 years old] [Description: Soul Devouring Butterfly is a cursed Spirit Beast summoned by Advalon''s third wave. It''s a chimera monster with the ability to devour and control the soul] [Spirit Skills: Soul Devouring, Soul Absorption, Soul Maniption, Cursed Energy(Passive)] Huo Yuhao gazed at Ddraig''s body and checked his soul with Soul Maniption. He could see a bright red dragon''s spirit and cut a small portion of Ddraig''s soul away, which allowed him to create Spirit Soul with Eluxia''s helpter. [You have 5 seconds left] Evo reminded him with a monotonous tone. "Fuck!" Huo Yuhao went to Albion and did the same procedure quickly. God suddenly walked to Huo Yuhao in a worse shape after receiving Four Season Saber Technique''s fifth move and stopped a few meters away. "Purple Dragon Emperor... No, I should call you Huo Yuhao. Who are you, and what do you want from this war??" He asked solemnly. "So, you were injured all this time?" Huo Yuhao nced at God and noticed something strange for a moment. Godughed weakly because someone actually noticed that and replied, "Hahaha... You see, I have some problems before going to war." "Anyway, tell me your goals?" Huo Yuhao smiled and honestly answered, "I want to conquer this world." [You have 2 seconds left] "T-Then, can you do me a favor? It is shameless to ask such a thing because you have defeated me, but your goal to conquer the world is also at risk because of this matter." God stated while looking at Huo Yuhao''s normal blue eyes. Since they fought for no real reason, this was the only time he could witness Huo Yuhao''s appearance. Eyes that were filled with a desire to win and rule over something. ''Ah... Such a beautiful soul.'' God also saw humanity deep within Huo Yuhao. [You have 1 second left] "What''s it?" Huo Yuhao asked while looking at the timer beside him. God smiled because there was a misunderstanding between Huo Yuhao and the three factions. He couldn''t help but sigh because everything would get avoided with some more verbalmunication. And If a simple bow to this young man could prevent such a brutal event that kills over a hundred thousand lives, God would dly do it. "What a shame." "Huo Yuhao, beware of this creature." "This creature would be your biggest challenge to conquer this world." "Its name is Trihexa." [Commencing the initial teleportation destination] "What a damn moment..." Huo Yuhao''s body suddenly shed and disappeared from God''s vision. God was confused and yelped in surprise, "He vanished??" Even though Huo Yuhao''s appearance was short in the Great War, his name was recorded in history and feared by many people. They called him by many names and titles. The most well-known throughout history were Huo Yuhao, the Purple Dragon Emperor, the Chaotic Dragon Emperor of Liberation, the Handsome-faced Swordsman, the Dragon of Destruction, andstly. The Blue-Eyed Dragon God. Chapter 83: Raynare? Chapter 83: Raynare? --- Chapter 83 --- [You have finished A Quest] [Name: Debut! Makes history in the Great War] [Calcting rewards...] [Rewarding: Gold Upgrading Tickets(2), Silver Upgrading Tickets(69), and 1x Master ss Awakening Card] Huo Yuhao abruptly fell from the sky andnded on a freaking water fountain. He destroyed the ce and released an annoyed groan because Evo teleported him so suddenly. BOOM! "The fuck, Evo..." He cursed while freezing the water around him into ice. "You should have warned me of the impact." [The System believed a mere water fountain wouldn''t harm the Host in any shape or form] Evo answered with a dull tone. [Unless you wanted to register the Water Fountain as a harmful object...] "Whatever." Huo Yuhao sighed and used Kenbunshoku Haki to check the area around. He was at a familiar-looking park and frowned because the time was close to evening. "Master ss Awakening Card." He sat on the nearest bench and checked the reward from the Quest. [Name: Master ss Awakening Card] [Type: Awakening Item] [Grade: S+] [Description: Master ss Awakening Card is an awakening item that allows the user to increase skill proficiency to Master Level, even awakening Hidden ss from the skill] [An item rted to the skill needed to awaken the ss] After carefully reviewing the Master ss Awakening Card''s overall description, Huo Yuhao was quiet and couldn''t help but frown. He was thinking about something for a moment because this awakening item would be valuable once he upgraded it. "Evo, use 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket on the Master ss Awakening Card." [Using 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket on Master ss Awakening Card] [Upgrading] [...] [You have acquired 1x Legendary ss Awakening Card] [Name: Legendary ss Awakening Card] [Type: Awakening Item] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Legendary ss Awakening Card is an awakening item that lets the user increase skill proficiency to the highest mortal level possible, even awakening Legendary ss from the skill] [An item rted to the skill needed to awaken the ss] "I hope this is working." "Or it would be such a waste of an Upgrading Ticket." Huo Yuhao picked Failure from his inventory and ced it on hisp, using the Legendary ss Awakening Card on his Master cksmith Skill. [You have used Legendary ss Awakening Card] [You have wielded Failure made by Grid, Pagma''s Sessor] [You have awakened Pagma''s Incarnation Legendary ss] He pumped his fist and shouted, "Hell yeah!" [Name: Pagma''s Incarnation] [Type: Legendary ss] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Pagma''s Incarnation is a legendary ss that awakened through unorthodox means, but since the ss holder was from another world. It was modified to meet the Host''s overall stats] [ss''s Skill: Pagma''s Authority, Pagma''s Swordsmanship] [Innate ss''s Effects] [1. The probability of adding additional options when making items will increase] [2. The probability of item enhancement will increase] [3. Pagma''s Incarnation could equip All types of equipment items unconditionally. However, there is a penalty depending on the grade of the equipment] "Hahaha~!!" Huo Yuhaoughed like a madman when reading about the benefit of awakening Pagma''s Incarnation ss. [Ding! You have achieved a Quest!] "Hmm??" [Name: Pagma''s 1st Creation] [Objectives: Create five SS+ or Above Grade Items manually] [Reward: Gold Upgrading Tickets(10), 2x Random Materials] [Penalty: Pagma''s Incarnation downgraded to normal cksmith again] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "Only five? Bet." Huo Yuhao pressed the Yes button and stretched his body from the wooden bench. As the sun began to set, he looked at the broken fountain sealed by thick ice and shrugged because he would tell someone to fix itter. He whistled and walked out of the park, passing through a young-looking couple. It was a brown-haired young man with an average build and a young woman with silky ck hair and violet-colored eyes. "They look familiar..." Huo Yuhao nced back and met the young woman''s gaze. [Name: Raynare] [Age: 100] [Race: Fallen Angel] [Level: Low-ss Fallen Angel] [Battle Power: Middle-ss] [Description: A fallen angel who preys over innocent lives] Huo Yuhao smiled inside and walked away from the two, feeling another presence in the park. It''s not hard for him to see a red-haired young woman hiding a few meters with some magic. Well, Evo did say he would get teleported to the initial destination. "This is interesting, but I don''t see everyone from Dragon Nest here, Evo?" He asked while watching Kuoh City''s area with Kenbunshoku Haki. [They are teleported all around the world based on their characteristic] "I see." Huo Yuhao opened Dragon Nest''s management system and located everyone with it. He noticed Huo Yun''er was in Kyoto, Scathach was in Scond, and Qianye Ying''er was at the Vatican. After locating everyone, He teleported to the highest building in Kuoh City andmented, "Kyoto, huh? Mom is the closest one because we are in the same country." He clicked the watch on his wrist and called, "Giana, are you there?" "Hey, There~! It is your magical AI, Giana~!" A small fairy made of light jumped off the watch. "Do you need my help, Master?" Huo Yuhao told Giana to contact everyone through Spirit Watch, but since they don''t have a satellite connection. It would take quite a while to reach all members of the Dragon Nest. She also mentioned herputing ability was reduced by half because her central core was left behind under Dragon Nest''s main headquarters. "If we could reach space and start another satellite, I would be able to reach everyone faster." Giana looked at the sky, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle. He suddenly picked a small ck-colored orb withpressed metal that contained another satellite like the Ratatoskr Interster Satellite Unit. Funnily enough, this satellite "actually." was nned to beunched alongside RISU. Yet, Xiao Chen opposed the idea because one satellite was more than enough to monitor Douluo. Not to mention Risu alone holds several weapons of mass destruction. "Oh, you brought Iofi here too?" Giana''s eyes blinked in surprise. Huo Yuhao used his energy to turn on thepressed satellite and let Giana control it. The small-looking fairy ced her hand on the ck-colored orb and let the program flow through her artificial soul. "Good job, Giana." He quickly used Divine Sense to reach space around the earth and made a wormhole to move the satellite. [Interster Orbital Facility Item or IOFI activated] Giana whispered monotonously. [G-Reactors usage 0.2969% and operating smoothly] [Energy Conversion from the Sun''s Radiation has started and reached 132%] [Deploying Stealth Rune Barrier] [Moving the Interster Orbital Facility Item around Unknown''s space domain] [Contacting all Dragon Nest''s members through Interster Orbital Facility Item] [Giana needed one hour to finish the task] Huo Yuhao poked Giana''s cheek and told her to stay inside the watch so that she could focus on her task. He grabbed a protein bar inside his inventory and watched someone approaching him with future sight. "Oh well, you actually searched for me?" He waited and looked at a familiar-looking young woman. "What a surprise." Raynare frowned when reaching the radio tower on the west side of Kuoh City. She looked down at the blue-haired young man before her and felt a weird sensation all over her body. "Are you done killing that brown-haired guy? Poor guy, You blue balled him quite terribly." Hearing that statement, Raynare alerted and used her power to create a light spear. "Die, human!" Sheunched an attack that should instantly kill any human with no Sacred Gear and special abilities. "H-How did you grab my light spear!!" The fallen angel''s violet eyes widened in shock. Huo Yuhao pinched Raynare''s light spear between his fingers and crushed it casually. As the person with Child of Light passive, such an attack wouldn''t injure nor work against him. After all, Light Elements loved him. "How crude," Eluxiamented with a disappointed look inside Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea. "The way she maniptes light elements is way too crude..." "It''s saddening to see." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and used Ruler Authority to grab Reynare''s body with telekinesis. He brought her to the radio tower and stared at her violet eyes. "R-Release, human! Release me right now!!" Reynare couldn''t help but feel fear in her heart. "Re..." The scenery around them changed abruptly, and Reynare faced an enormous western dragon with purplish dark scales. She shivered violently because of such a monstrous presence. "D-Dragon..." Raynare suddenly remembered the myth and returned to reality. She looked at Huo Yuhao''s royal blue eyes with fear and pleaded, "B-Blue-Eyed Dragon God, Huo Yuhao." "P-Please spare my life." "I-I don''t know you''re..." "Aww, you scared her." Tian Mengmented while floating beside Huo Yuhao in her ethereal form. "Just a mere illusion was enough to scare her into such a mess." "So, what are you going to do with her?" "Since she is a Fallen Angel and probably the weakest among them, I don''t see any worth from her." "Hey, I have an offer," Huo Yuhao threw Raynare on the metal bar next to him. "Raynare, can you contact Azazel for me?" "I-I can, S-Sir Dragon God." The fallen angel nervously replied while lowering her head. She cannot bear herself to look at those blue eyes anymore. Huo Yuhao patted her head gently and said, "Then, Do it." "Contact him, and I''ll spare your life." Chapter 84: Fallen Angels has Fallen Chapter 84: Fallen Angels has Fallen --- Chapter 84 --- At the abandoned church on the corner of Kuoh City, Huo Yuhao sat on the broken sofa and meditated to recover his energy. Even though the recovery speed was worse than he expected when he arrived at the Great War, he didn''t expect it to be this bad. And Huo Yuhao shouldn''t have a problem using any of his Spirit Skills for several years because his energy reserve is more than 100 Hyper Douluobined. The Spirit Energy''s Soul Core also helped him by filtering natural energy or magic energy in the atmosphere into pure energy. "This is 100 times slower than usual, but whatever." "I can work with this." Huo Yuhao saved plenty of Spirit Energy Recovering Pills in the Inventory to recharge his reserve. He looked around the room and found the underground ce below the Abandoned Church was quite stuffy because of the darkplexion. He waved his hand to draw Cleanse Rune and applied the effect on the whole room. A series of light bubbles appeared and swarmed the room with a cleansing effect, returning the underground ce to its former condition. The once dim and shady room bes clean with a brown-paved floor and white walls. Huo Yuhao noticed a wooden cross a few meters from the sofa andmented, "God, huh? I should have asked where this thing called Trihexa "actually." was located. Aih, it''s toote to regret it." "What do you want, Reynare? I thought your duty was to call Azazel for me." He suddenly added while turning around, finding the fallen angel woman in somewhat modest clothes. Reynare nervously looked down and replied, "U-Um, sir. I have contacted Azazel through Communication Magic, and he will reach this ce as soon as possible." It''s still hard to believe that she would meet Blue-Eyed Dragon God randomly like this. Reynare hoped this was a nightmare and awakened soon, yet no matter how she saw it. This experience is too fucking real. She peeked at Huo Yuhao and stared at his stunningly attractive face, making him like an otherworldly being. That carefree yet serious expression, smooth blue hair tied in a ponytail, and clear royal blue eyes akin to the sky. Reynare couldn''t help but be tempted by a desire for the second time, even after bing Fallen Angel years ago. If falling from grace could happen more than once, Reynare would have "fallen." continuously for several years by seeing Huo Yuhao''s face alone. "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao yawned and crashed onto the sofa again. "Then, can you get me some food from the nearest restaurant first? A variety of it if possible." Reynare was speechless because Huo Yuhao gave her such a random errand, but she had to do it. "I-I''ll be back in a few minutes, sir." She bowed and left the room in a sh, leaving some ck feathers. Huo Yuhao shook his head and sighed, "Do fallen angels always leave ck feathers when they go? I just cleaned this room, you know?" "Anyway, let''s clear a quest while she is gone." "Palu, spit an anvil out, please." Huo Yuhao said while grabbing a cksmith''s hammer from his Inventory. It was a ball-peen hand hammer weighing slightly over 2000 kilograms enchanted by several Primordial Rune. A golden slime jumped out of nothingness and spat a metal chunk onto the floor, creating a crack. It was an anvil that Palu or Toolbox used to mold any materials after getting heated by Huo Yuhao''s Thunderfire, having quite a high resistance against heat and fire. It''s the legendary Heart Chilling Iron, and Huo Yuhao upgraded it to suit his taste years ago. "What are you doing, Yuhao?" Bing Di curiously asked while looking at the Heart Chilling Iron. She could feel the chill auraing from this chunk of metal. Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "I''m going to create five things that will help meter. It would either be trash or something incredible, so watch closely." ... ... An hourter, Reynare flew into the sky with a panicked look because she didn''t expect ordering some food would take so long. Since she bought so many things from the restaurant across Kuoh City, the fallen angel had to carry a load of food with her. "Oh no..." Her violet eyes widened because she suddenly remembered something important. "I forgot to tell Kwarner, Mittelt, and Dohnaseek about Sir Dragon God''s existence." "I have to be fast!" "Or they would die!!" Reynare pped her wings and hoped her fellow fallen angels were still hunting Sacred Gears users like what Kokabiel told them to do in this city. --- Abandoned Church --- The fellow fallen angels Reynare worried about werending on the ground. The first fallen angel was a tall yet busty woman with yellow eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right-sided face. Her attire consisted of a maroon trench coat-like top with a wide cor, a matching miniskirt, and ck-heeled shoes. The trenchcoat top was open at her chest, giving a window of her breasts and cleavage. She also wore a gold ne around her neck. She appears to wear a white shirt underneath her top, but it can only get seen from the bottom. The other fallen angel was a girl with blonde hair styled into twin tails and blue eyes. She wore a Gothic Lolite attire, which consisted of a ck dress with white frills, arge ck bow on the front, a green jewel embedded on the cor, white thigh-high socks, and ck shoes. She also wore arge ck bow tie on top of her hair. They are Kwarner and Mittelt, Reynare''s partners in crime. Who got ordered by one of the Grigori''s higher-ups, Kokabiel, to kill Sacred Gears users in Kuoh City. "Phew~! Today is tiring too." Mittelt, the girl in Gothic Lolita outfits, groaned while shaking her body. "How could so many Sacred Gears users pop out one after another like this?" Kwarner sighed and replied, "If doing this could help Grigori''s progress, then we should do it properly." nk! "Hmm??" They heard a muffled nk somewhere in the area. Kwarner smelt a burning metal close to them and tracked the sources. "What? Something is wrong with our base." She said while looking at the abandoned church with a frown. "I know you smelled it too, Mittlelt." "How could an abandoned ce like this have a metal smell, like someone is smelting something." "Yeah, it''s weird." Mittlelt nodded her head in agreement. They decided to check the abandoned church and caught the metal mming noise bing louder than before. As they descended to the underground floor, Kwarner saw something out of this world. "T-This..." "What are you, K-!" They "immediately." were weed by the sight of a blue-haired young man mming his cksmith hammer against a chunk of metal. His upper body was bare-naked and possessed such refined muscles with six packs glistening with sweat. The young man was no more than 16 or 18 years old with such a heavenly look. His slender yet muscr arms flexed when the hammer dropped rhythmically, creating a sound field. Every movement of his body was perfect and even hypnotizing to see. Kwarner considered herself to be a tough-willed person, yet before this sight of temptation. Her nose was running with the warm blood of a virgin. Meanwhile, Mittlelt breathed heavily and clutched her small bosom in awe. She bit her lips and blushed in shame because she didn''t even know this person, but her instinct wanted more than to see this. nk! Huo Yuhao mmed his hammer for thest time and breathed out while wiping sweat from his face. He turned around and saw two fallen angels with dreamy looks on their reddened faces. It looks like they have a fever dream. "I understand their feelings." Tian Meng nodded sagely like this wasn''t the first for her. After all, she had seen Huo Yuhao naked several times and witnessed his charm daily. She had to admit that Huo Yuhao was too dangerous for any female. "S-Shut up, you annoying worm." Bing Di shouted while covering her eyes with hands like a scope. "I-I''m enjoying the scenery here." "Mm, muscle~." Tian Meng looked at the Ice Emperor and screamed, "No, BING BING! You have gotten corrupted by his charm~!!" Eluxia couldn''t help but shake her head at Tian Meng and Bing Di because they weren''t honest with their feelings. All of them have been charmed by Huo Yuhao for different reasons, and Tian Ming bashfully denies it with a blush, while Bing Di is developing likes for his muscles. "Of course, I''m no different from them." The necromancer giggled because she liked how Huo Yuhao yfully teased others, especially her. Huo Yuhao watched Kwarner and Mittlet suddenly drop on the floor, fainting because of the excessive heat and blood loss. He shrugged and ignored them because they were still alive. [Ding!] [You have finished Pagma''s 1st Creation] [You have created Guardian Shield] [You have created Starless Saber Sheath] [You have created Leviathan Axe] [You have created Energy Purifier] [You have created Switch Axe] [All items met the requirement] [Calcting the reward...] [You have received Gold Upgrading Tickets(10), Elder Dragon Bones(SSS), A chunk of Life Gold(SSS)] "Nice." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief because the quest was more challenging than he expected. He looked down at the floor and saw several scraps or failures he produced along the way. "Eas, eat these away." A ck-light escaped Huo Yuhao''s finger and ate all the scraps instantly, leaving a clean floor. [Eas have reached Level 103] "Kwarner!" "Mittelt!" Reynare shouted in worry when seeing her fellow fallen angels in the puddle of blood with a paleplexion. She carefully dropped the food and checked their condition. "R-Reynare... That guy is too hot!" Kwarner said while closing her eyes again. "Y-Yes, He''s too HOT!" Mittlelt squealed and fell onto Reynare''sp. Reynare was surprised and shouted, "NOOO! Not you guys too!!" Huo Yuhao shoved the Heart Chilling Iron anvil back into Palu''s inner space and looked at them with a strange gaze. "What are you guys doing?" He said weirdly. "Where is my food?" Chapter 85: Valis Challenge Chapter 85: Vali''s Challenge --- Chapter 85 --- Years ago. Three factions of Gods with seraphs, four great satans with 72 devils pirs, and fallen angels wage the Great War against each other. They fought for several days and nights until Heavenly Dragons, Red Dragon Emperor, and White Dragon Emperor entered the war and inflicted massive damage on all of them. They agree to unite briefly to stop the Heavenly Dragons, only to be greeted by the greatest monster of destruction ever recorded in supernatural world history. A monstrous being with a human-like appearance wasing out of nowhere and swept the battlefield like an unstoppable storm. Some people said he was a Counter Force that appeared to stop the Great War, but no one argued his insane feat of defeating three factions with unknown abilities. Huo Yuhao, or the Blue-Eyed Dragon God, is a terrifying being with the power to destroy the world. He could manifest his draconic will and summon an enormous dragon akin to a mountain. With a purple me, Huo Yuhao burned over one hundred thousand lives instantly. He is also a master of martial arts and has superior strength, simply by how he single-handedly killed one of the satan, Leviathan, with just a punch. And Huo Yuhao''s most well-known feat in the Great War was his swordsmanship. When he held the God-ying Saber Ste, he created an attack that blew every faction apart, and people who survived could only tremble when witnessing the season change quickly. Also, Huo Yuhao defeated the Heavenly Dragons with overwhelming strength, pinning them to the mountain and ground like a ragdoll. However, Huo Yuhao suddenly disappeared from the world after defeating everyone. He doesn''t leave anything, but his goal is to conquer the world. Some pantheons believed he was a myth, but people, who were traumatized because of the Great War, knew he would return sooner orter. ... ... Grigori, an organization created by Azazel and the Cadre Fallen Angels, fell from the grace of God of the Bible in Heaven after they gave in to their impure thoughts. Azazel rubbed his forehead in a dilemma and sighed because his and many others'' greatest nightmares had appeared again. He looked down at his chest and touched the hole created by Huo Yuhao''s saber technique. Those raindrops still give him a shiver until now. Heughed weakly and said, "Haha... After over six hundred years, the Blue-Eyed Dragon God finally returned and made an appearance. And to think my subordinate was the one who discovered him made me question the world''s will." "I don''t know if Grigori was blessed or cursed by this encounter." Azazel nced at the person beside him. "It''s not cool to spy on other''s business, Vali." Vali Lucifer is one of the remaining descendants of the original Lucifer. He''s the current possessor of Longinus: Divine Dividing, a sacred gear created by the God of the Bible with the White Dragon Emperor''s soul sealed within it. He is a handsome young man with dark silver hair and light blue eyes, wearing a dark green V-neck shirt with a high-cored ck leather jacket over it. He also wears burgundy jeans with a silver chain drooping down over them and ck shoes with ck buckles. "I have told you to ce a seal on this ce," Vali replied casually. "Don''t me me for entering without permission, Azazel." "Anyway, is that true?" The current White Dragon Emperor focused on Azazel''s face because he was sure this man said Blue-Eyed Dragon god along the line. Azazel shrugged and replied, "It''s true. He has returned, but I advised you to stay here. Even Albion would agree with my advice." "Right?" "He''s right, Vali. Even though I don''t want to admit it, that blue-haired monster is out of our league." A pair of white Dragon wings manifested on Vali''s back, with eight energy feathers. "Ddraig and I fought him, and we ended up in quite a horrible state. Why do you think God can seal me inside this Sacred Gear?" Vali frowned because the legend of the Blue-Eyed Dragon God was quite confusing to him. Even though people exaggerate his feats in the Great War, Albion and Azazel always warn him about the incarnation of destruction. It doesn''t stop Vali and gives him the limitless motivation to fight such a being. "Still, I want to fight him!" Vali excitedly grinned, to which Albion and Azazel responded with a sigh. He wouldn''t stop until Huo Yuhao gave him a taste of absolute defeat. "Vali. Curiosity killed the cat, they say." Azazel shook his head and created a green magic circle tomunicate with Reynare, who gave him information about Huo Yuhao. Reynare epted the Communication Magic and nervously replied, "H-Hello, Azazel. Reynare here." "Oh, Azazel finally contacted you back?" A familiar voice suddenly followed, which caused Azazel and Albion to tremble slightly because this voice had been hunting them every night. "Why so quiet all of a sudden??" "Come here. Why don''t we have a heartwarming reunion with food and beer." Azazel''s mouth twitched in disbelief because Huo Yuhao was casual about it. It seemed the source of the Supernatural World''s sensation for several centuries hadn''t realized the impact he made in the past. After thinking about something, Azazel writes something on paper, so people would know where he went for a while. He nced at Vali and saw his hopeful look. "Whatever... Follow me, Vali." He suddenly jumped off the chair while creating a teleportation magic circle. "Also, Don''t create a problem when we are there, okay?" "Sure, Azazel." Vali nodded and stepped onto Azazel''s magic circle, waiting for the governor-general of Grigori to teleport them to Huo Yuhao''s location. He giddily clenched his hand and wanted to see the Blue-Eyed Dragon God. "I don''t feel good about this meeting..." Albionmented with a frown inside Divine Dividing. Vali rolled his eyes and replied, "Get over it, Albion. You were overthinking this shit for centuries." Azazel activated the teleportation magic, and they reached Kuoh City in just a few seconds. The Governor General of Grigori looked around for a moment and saw an abandoned church twenty meters away. "That ce, huh?" He said while walking toward the church, followed by high-hoped Vali. As they approached the abandoned church, Huo Yuhao''s presence swept over them and made the White Dragon Emperor frown deeply after several centuries. "This presence is never getting old," Albionmented weakly. Azazel opened the church''s door and stepped inside, looking at the stair leading to the underground room. He breathed in to calm down and walked to the stair with a sharp look. They arrived at the underground room and discovered a blue-haired young man on the sofa with three fallen angels sitting on the couch beside him. Azazel and Albion recognized this person and face-palmed inside because the Blue-Eyed Dragon God had returned to this world again. Huo Yuhao had a slice of pizza in his mouth and greeted, "Yo! How are you guys?" "Want some?" ... ... Azazel sat on a half-broken wooden stool andined, "Damn it! I hoped Raynare was joking about your existence." "After centuries of absence, Why did youe back to the surface?" He added while grabbing on chicken wings. Huo Yuhao was surprised and answered, "It''s centuries for you guys, but I leaped through time to reach this ce. From my point of view, the Great War was a few hours ago." "Y-You what??" Azazel choked on the wings. "Tell me you are joking..." "I''m not. I got teleported to the park in Kuoh City a few hours ago, and Reynare can give you the testimony about it." Huo Yuhao wiped his hand clean with a napkin. He obviously isn''t dumb enough to reveal Evo''s existence because the upgrading system was his "greatest." source of power. Azazel was speechless and fell into deep thought because Huo Yuhao wielded greater power than he expected. He nced at the White Dragon Emperor and noticed he was ring at Huo Yuhao. "It''s been a while, Huo Yuhao..." Albion said while releasing a dim white light from Divine Dividing''s wings. Huo Yuhao chuckled and returned, "Yeah. How are you, Albion? I see that you''re in a ratherplex situation there." "Oh well, Thanks to you, I was sealed inside this sacred gear for centuries." The White Dragon Emperor of Supremacyughed in defeat. "It''s not 100%fortable to live in but interesting enough to stay for a while. I''ve seen so many events with my hosts." "Host, this kid?" Huo Yuhao faked his reaction and moved his gaze to Vali. [Name: Vali Lucifer] [Age: 18 years old] [Race: Half-Human and Half-Devil] [Level: Satan ss)] [Battle Power: Level 91/Title Douluo(Growing)] [Description: A battle-hungry young man with a dream to fight the most powerful being in this world] "Not bad. You can be considered a talented monster in Dragon Nest." Hemented, which caused Vali to frown at him. "Oh no... Vali, don''t-!" Azazel immediately shouted, but it was toote. Vali bravely stood from his seat and dered, "Blue-Eyed Dragon God, I challenge you to a duel!" "This is not Yugi-... Nevermind." Huo Yuhao shook his head and burned the napkin with Thunderfire. "Very well, I''ll entertain you for a moment." "However, if you lose, join my organization." "Your organization?" Vali tilted his head in confusion. Huo Yuhao smirked and answered, "Yes, It''s called Dragon Nest." Chapter 86: Star Destroyer Chapter 86: Star Destroyer --- Chapter 86 --- On the back of the Abandoned Church, Huo Yuhao yawned and faced Vali Lucifer with his new creation. Azazel created a barrier to contain the fight and hoped they wouldn''t just go on full st, destroying the area. "Are you going to fight me with that piece of metal?" Vali couldn''t help but frown when looking at the sheath made of unknown metal slightly over 4 ft long in Huo Yuhao''s hand. It''spletely ck with several cracks around it, separating the sheath into three segments. [Name: Starless Saber Sheath] [Type: Sheath/Weapon] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Starless Saber Sheath is a metal-looking sheath created to contain the power of the star and dismiss excess energy inside-out. It was "specifically." made of Uru''s alloys and Star-attributed Spirit Bones, weighing over 3 tons to suppress Star Quaking Saber''s intensity] [Starless Saber is close to bing a semi-divine item like Star Quaking Saber because it hasn''t manifested the weapon''s spirit perfectly. And needed Divine Materials to reach a higher stage] [Innate Ability: Star Absorption(Passive), Big Dipper''s Fortress, Sirius''s Undying Storm, Shooting Stars Summoning] "Yeah. This thing is more than enough to fight you." Huo Yuhao answered casually. After reading the description of the Starless Saber Sheath, Huo Yuhao already nned to refine Ste and the sheath with Life Gold. Even though Evo doesn''t specify how much Life Gold he acquires for finishing Pagma 1st Creation Quest, it should be enough to make and refine some items. "How much is a chunk of Life Gold?" [Roughly 9 Kilograms] Evo answered with a dull tone. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Nice." "Anyway,e with everything you got, Vali." "Hahaha~! Very well!" A wide grin appeared on Vali''s face because he finally could face a Dragon God. Albion sighed and added, "Don''tin to meter if your body was broken in half by him." "Vanishing Dragon: Bnce Breaker!" Vali''s body was covered with blinding light, leaving a white armor with five blue jewels semnce of Albion''s eyes. The energy wings expanded slightly and released bluish light particles. Huo Yuhao chuckled because Vali''s Bnce Breaker gave him inspiration for Eas''s armor mode. He raised the Starless Saber Sheath and applied his Armament Haki, covering the ck sheath with spiritual energy. "Come, Little White Dragon." He waved the sheath casually. Vali pped his wings and charged forward quickly, increasing his momentum to crush Huo Yuhao''s body. White light covers his entire self, making him look like a white sh. Huo Yuhao''s Observation Haki scanned the area and waited for Vali to reach him. And As the current White Dragon Emperor is about to hit him. Huo Yuhao slid to the left and smashed the armor with half his base strength. BAM! BOOM! COUGH! "W-What?!" Vali crashed on the other side of the field, watching Huo Yuhao with an awed look. He couldn''t even react correctly because the blue-haired individual suddenly shifted his position and smacked him with the ck sheath. His demonic power doesn''t even have time to reduce the impact. Huo Yuhao was amused andmented, "Is this everything you got, Little White Dragon? Charging your enemy straight ahead shows that you are very confident with your strength, but that blind you." "My teacher wouldugh and beat you to death with this kind of performance, you know." Vali huffed and nced at the armor''s part where Huo Yuhao smashed him. "He''s right, Vali. Fighting an unknown enemy like that would be suicidal." Albion spoke calmly. "Not to mention our Scale Mail couldn''t even hold itself against his attack. It immediately shattered upon impact." "I know." The young lucifer wiped a trace of blood from his lips and grinned because Huo Yuhao was a real deal. "However, that''s good enough for me to use this." "Divide!" Nothing happened because Huo Yuhao didn''t have physical contact with him. The Armament Haki created an invisible coating that prevented Vali from using Divine Dividing on Huo Yuhao. "I''ve learned a few things from my fight with Albion. His ability is quite annoying." Huo Yuhao walked toward Vali. "And that''s why you wouldn''t be able to defeat me." Vali''s eyes widened in shock because Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared before him, waving the ck sheath with killing intent. ''If I don''t dodge, I''ll die.'' That was Vali''s thought when facing the ck sheath coated by Conqueror''s Haki. BAM! Crack! Vali instinctively rolled to the left and spread his wings, flying away from Huo Yuhao. He watched the ground and saw a long yet wide crack from the sheath''s attack. "Let''s kick this up a little." Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage again. Vali solemnly looked at Huo Yuhao and tried to match his insane speed. They are moving too fast for normal eyes to handle, so people like Reynare can only see white and ck shes shing inside the barrier. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "He''s still monstrous..." Azazelughed in defeat because Huo Yuhao was ahead of his league. He was confident enough to survive for a few moments, but this guy seemed to seal his full power based on Albion''s observation. The White Dragon Emperor could feel Huo Yuhao''s strength growing continuously in the Great War. That strength also contained excessively pure and massive energy that Albion couldn''t handle, which he had to dispose of 80%. And the rest is still too much for his living dragon body to handle. "That''s just how ridiculous his strength was," Albion exined to Vali. "I had to bet with Ddraig that only Ophis and Great Red could match his strength." "That''s not helpful, Albion." Vali focused on attacking Huo Yuhao with everything he got, but the blue-haired monster never let his guard down. BOOM! BAM! "Tch, there is no other way." "Half Dimension." He pinched the air and tried to reduce Huo Yuhao''s size by half. Huo Yuhao noticed this and clenched his hand, using Spatial Maniption to counter Vali''s Half Dimension. Silverish and White lights shed, creating chaos inside the barrier. BOOM! "Fuck!" Vali watched as Huo Yuhao was unscathed by his attack. "Fuck it! Albion, I''ll use that." Albion sighed and responded, "It''s not like I can convince you otherwise, Vali." "I, who am about to awaken, Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God. I envy the "infinite." and pursue the "dream." I shall be the White Dragon of Supremacy. And I shall take you to the limits of white paradise." "Juggernaut Drive." Vali''s Juggernaut Drive appears very simr to the Scale Armor armor with a much more Dragon-like appearance and is gigantic than the former. The white armor now possesses w-like growths on the hands and feet, uniquely-shaped horns, and a fanged mouth on the helmet. ROAR! "Four should be enough." Huo Yuhao tapped his chest a few times and released his seals. He cracked his fingers and summoned Eas. "Eas, you should be able to copy that, right?" "Then, let''s do it." "Hehe~!" "What''s he doing?" Albion and Vali were confused when looking at Huo Yuhao. The blue-haired guy suddenly stopped moving and lifted his empty hand. Some gibberish wasing from his mouth, but they couldn''t hear it well. "Manifest, Violent Dragon which devours the gods'' flesh and blood. Cut off the cloudy heavens. Bahamut." Huo Yuhao looked up at Vali. [Eas''s Bahamut Ascension Mode] BOOM! ROAR! "Oh God, You gotta be kidding me." Azazel took a few steps back and watched the barrier with a paleplexion. "He also has sacred gear??" "No, this is not Sacred Gear. It''s living armor." As the white smoke slowly disappeared, Vali saw a ck armor simr to his Juggernaut Drive''s form. However, it was leaner and morepact, standing over 3.5 ft and having purplish-red lines across the scale mail and everything. Fourteen bastard sword-like wings hovered independently behind the armor. "As expected from a monster..." Albion muttered solemnly. "This is exciting! HAHAHA~!" Valiughed at the sky because he was d to have such an opportunity. Huo Yuhao grabbed one of Eas''s wings and turned it into a pile bunker with a built-in Dragoon cannon. It doesn''t need to be grand because he would blow Vali''s Juggernaut Drive apart in one attack. "Here we go, Vali!" Albion warned his host. "Yes." The young lucifer pped his vanishing dragon wings and shed to Huo Yuhao''s side. Huo Yuhao faced Vali directly and bumped into the Juggernaut Drive''s armor. BOOM! The sh caused a spark on the field, destroying the ground into a mess. Vali seized this chance and used Divide once on Huo Yuhao, which was a grave yet correct mistake. "Divide!" "ARRRRGGGGHHHH!" Vali screamed because his body couldn''t handle Huo Yuhao''s strength, which allowed the Juggernaut Drive''s mode to stay longer. "I-I can finally use this move!" He trembled in excitement. "ACCEPT MY STRONGEST MOVE, BLUE-EYED DRAGON GOD~!!!" "DIVIDING SMASHER." Collective energy condensed into Vali''s right hand and "directly." was used to activate Half Dimension rapidly, potentially reducing everything from existence. "Eas''s Destroyer." Huo Yuhao looked at Vali''s armored hand and bashed the Pile Bunker strongly, shing with the Juggernaut Armor''s hand. He released another seal and pumped 69% of his Spirit Energy into Eas. The pile bunker prated Vali''s armor and triggered Dragoon''s cannon to shoot Huo Yuhao''s energy. "EVERYONE, GO DOWN!" Azazel shouted outside the barrier because this sh would impact everything in Kuoh City. "Ebony Dragoon Canon: Destroyer." An innocent female voice echoed in the field. Vali coughed a mouthful of blood because his Juggernaut Drive armor "forcibly." was shattered. He watched the thick nail-like stinger in his right hand and saw it disappear into nothingness in real-time alongside his entire right arm. SWOOSH! BOOOOOOOM!!! A beacon of ck light exploded and created a wide pir of destruction, shattering Azazel''s barrier into pieces and reaching the exosphere instantly. Roughly 4 minutester, It passed through the moon and came to Venus, erasing a small chunk of the because the beam only grazed it. The ck light then disappeared a secondter. BOOOOOM! The shockwave followed and swept over the mountain where Abandoned Church stood, leaving only a t ground with several holes. "Holy Shit!" Azazel cursed while looking at Huo Yuhao with fear and awe. "Oh well, Level 103 Eas is too much." Huo Yuhao deactivated Bahamut Ascension Mode and used Primordial Rune to fix everything that could get "fixed." quickly. Huo Yuhao used Light Maniption to create a barrier around the Earth''s stratosphere so that the sun won''t kill anyone. And he reduced the shockwave with shock absorption Rune. Since Evo doesn''t issue any notifications, he shouldn''t kill anyone. Huo Yuhao looked around the formerly abandoned church and scratched his cheek because the mountain had turned into tnd. "Evo, remind me to check Bahamut Ascension Mode and Eas''s current stateter. That power has potential." He looked down on the fainted Vali, who luckily only lost an arm. He picked up an ultra regeneration potion and sprayed Vali with it. Several magic circles suddenly appeared and surrounded Huo Yuhao. A girl with short ck hair and sses confronted Huo Yuhao with a "fearlessness." yet solemn expression and said, "Raise your hands. Under the jurisdiction of Kuoh City''s observer, I''m here to arrest you for attempting to mass-murdering innocent lives in Kuoh City." "State your name, Disgusting Criminal?!" "Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao wryly smiled and raised his hands. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, his action today would gain every faction''s attention and lead to another big sensation amongst the supernaturalmunity. He also obtained another title, Star Destroyer. Chapter 87: Heiresses and Serafall Levia-Tan~! Chapter 87: Heiresses and Serafall Levia-Tan~! --- Chapter 87 --- After Huo Yuhao identally created a scene on the corner of Kuoh City, one of the city''s governors appeared and wanted to arrest him. Bizarrely, they somehow ended up in the nearest cafe close to the formerly small mountain where the abandoned church used to remain. Inside a decently-sized cafe, Huo Yuhao was facing the Kuoh City''s governors with Azazel and Vali sitting beside him. On the other side of the table are three young women from famous devil noble ns in the underworld. [Name: Rias Gremory] [Age: 18] [Race: Full-Blooded Devil(Gremory & Bael)] [Level: High-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Level 68/Spirit Emperor] [Description: A spoiled princess of the Gremory n, living in her ideal fantasy world] Rias is a beautiful young woman with a nicely-shaped body, white skin, bluish-green eyes, and a busty figure. Her most distinctive feature is her long, beautiful crimson hair, which reaches down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Loose bangs cover her forehead, and side bangs frame her face. She wore Kuoh Academy girls'' school uniform, which consists of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a ck ribbon on her shirt cor worn under a ck shoulder cape. And a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white ents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks. [Name: Sona Sitri] [Age: 18] [Race: Full-Blooded Devil(Sitri)] [Level: High-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Level 69/Spirit Emperor] [Description: Sitri n''s Heiress with a dream to make devils'' future better] Sona is a bespectacled young woman with a slim figure, ck hair styled in a short bob cut, and violet eyes. Despite not having a busty figure like the red-headed devil beside her, Sona has a noble yet calm charisma surrounding her, making the young devil rather stern but bright to others. She wore slick thin-framed sses and a Kuoh Academy girls'' school uniform like Rias. [Name: Lucia Halphas] [Age: 18] [Race: Full-Blooded Devil(Halphas & Beelzebub)] [Level: High-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Level 71/Spirit Saint] [Description: She''s an ambitious noble girl with a dream to live peacefully, but her hidden linage wouldn''t allow it] Lucia Halphas is a young woman with clear skin and a refined appearance, simr to a dove. She has neat long brown-gold hair that always ends with spikes-like shapes. Her eyes are bright yellow with a hint of crimson hue. She has a body that rivals Rias, which is also nicely developed in the rear area. And like both heiresses from Gremory and Sitri ns, Lucia wore Kuoh Academy girls'' school uniform. However, she had a silver-looking rapier clutching onto her waist. Azazel looked at the famous heiress with a small smile because they were somewhat well-known in the supernatural world, but their opponent was Huo Yuhao. He had to step in, or this matter would be more chaotic. "Huo Yuhao, why does that name sound familiar?" Rias Gremory said while looking at Huo Yuhao. His handsome face immediately caught her attention. Sona Sitri breathed in and secretly prepared a glow stick under the table. She was nervous inside because they encountered one of the worst disasters in supernatural history. Even though Sona acted brave earlier, after hearing Huo Yuhao''s name, she knew everything was fucked up. Even though Sona''s sister was one of the current satans, she believed Huo Yuhao could destroy the underworld. And she acted rashly because of that privilege, which is understandable because an unknown young man created destruction in Kuoh City. ''Onee-sama, pleasee here. This individual is beyond our league.'' She squeezed the glow stick tightly, which was Magical Girl''s staff. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao called for a waitress and ordered a cup of americano, ncing at Vali whose been quiet since waking up from his sleep. He smirked inside because the young lucifer''s pride had been crushed, which would help him growter. "I''ll be waiting for your attendance, Vali. Remember that you have to join Dragon Nest." Hemented while moving his gaze back to Sona. "Like I have a choice..." Vali grumbled while remembering the absolute force that erased his entire right arm. He was still thinking about the fight and figured out Huo Yuhao possessed unknown strength. Even when dividing Huo Yuhao''s strength, the excess power and energy allowed him to stay in Juggernaut Drive Mode for a while. His demonic power means nothingpared to Huo Yuhao''s Spirit Energy. "At least I know your organization is going to be interesting." "You''ll be surprised." A chucklees from Huo Yuhao''s mouth. "Wait, Is that Magical Girl''s staff??" Sona blushed when hearing Huo Yuhao''s question and lowered her head in shame because her sister purposely had to make an emergency calling item like Magical Girl''s staff. Since Sona was in a tight spot, she had to use it despite the embarrassment. Rias was shocked and said, "Sona, you... You finally embraced that side." "I-I''m not!!" Sona shouted back, which caused Lucia tough to the side. The Halphas''s heiress has been watching over her friends for several years, but they were amusing in her eyes till now. She grabbed her drink and sipped the iced coffee while looking at Huo Yuhao. "It seems there was a misunderstanding between us, Blue-Eyed Dragon God. I know your excellency is not someone who settles things peacefully, so what aboutpensation?" "Says who?" Huo Yuhao returned casually. "If possible, I want to settle things peacefully and quickly, but people with powers talk with their fist, not their mouth. And No matter what age or era it was, everyone hoped and wanted to stand on the top." "I admit that my previous attack was out of calction. I''m trying new things with this punching bag." He continued while patting Vali''s shoulders. The young lucifer wanted to argue, but he was clearly a punching bag back then. Even Albion had to agree, as his host couldn''t deal a single significant blow to Huo Yuhao. "And I don''t see anything worth my attention from devils." The heiresses frowned when hearing that because Devils in the underworld have so many precious things. Still, Huo Yuhao''s tone sounded casual, making them think he was ying around with them. "Are you sure?" Lucia suddenly leaned over the counter and pushed her chest against Huo Yuhao. Her absurd action was so obvious, and everyone was stunned by it. This girl is so bold. "When I saidpensation, I''d even sacrifice myself to be your concubine." ''Don''t touch my younger brother, you devilishss!'' Tian Meng yelled when seeing Lucia shoving her massive udders into Huo Yuhao''s face Bing Di nodded in agreement and added, ''Begone Thot! Yuhao is ours~!'' Huo Yuhaoughed in amusement and looked into Lucia''s eyes because this girl wanted to use this so-calledpensation excuse to get her freedom. Genesis & The End allowed him to see one''s origin, and Lucia''s greatest dream was to cut her tie off Devils World. "Girl, get a hold of yourself first." Huo Yuhao gently pushed her back to the seat. "When you can discern the difference between freedom and duty, I''ll consider your proposal." "Also, after conquering this world. I can get concubines whenever I want." Rias raised from the seat and responded, "You''re joking! My brother wouldn''t allow such a thing to happen." Azazel, Vali, Lucia, and Sona shivered and saw a ck-ded naginata appear, reaching Rias Gremory''s hair. Some of her red hairs fell on the floor because of the sheer sharpness. "Stop, Qianxue." Huo Yuhao said, which made everyone move their gazes at the beautiful woman with long pale blue hair and an exquisite appearance. She was no more than 22-25 years with a goddess-like body, wearing blue jeans and ck leather jackets to cover her bosom. [Name: Murong Qianxue] [Age: 35] [Race: High Human, Demonic Warrior] [Cultivation: Level 120/2nd ss God(No God''s Seat)] [Martial Souls: Onimusha of the Winter(11+), Lightning Dragon Disks(1+)] [Power Level: 2nd ss Wild God(Weaker than Gods with God Seats] [Description: A colddy with a particr fetish involving younger boys, especially her master''s young self] She huffed and pulled her naginata back, "I''m flying from a ce called Tibet to this ce, Master." "Sorry for the dy." The Ice Demoness kneeled before Huo Yuhao, which left everyone in the cafe speechless. This woman suddenly appeared and attacked someone with a sharp object, then bowed to someone else. "Rias, are you okay?" Sona pulled Rias down to the seat and noticed the redhead''splexion was like paper. And to be fair, who wouldn''t be shocked when a random woman abruptly pointed a weapon at them? Rias trembled and felt extreme cold invading her body, which led the General Governor of Grigory to frown because the cafe was surrounded by thick snow already. At first, Azazel doesn''t even notice the change in weather. "So strong..." Even Albion''s soul could feel the intense coldness from Murong Qianxue. Some magic circle appeared inside the cafe, and a beautiful girl in herte teens with ck hair, tied into twin tails, and bright blue eyes appeared. She has a youthful body, albeit withrge breasts. She wore a frilly pink magical girl costume with some white decorations. "Serafall Levia-Tan~! Has appeared~!" She dered while waving her magical girl staff. "SONA-TAN~!!" "Are you in danger~!?" "Eh??" Serafall suddenly detected several intense presences in the area. Sona facepalmed and sighed because her sister came at the most awkward time. Chapter 88: New Satans, Devil Factions, and An Offer Chapter 88: New Satans, Devil Factions, and An Offer --- Chapter 88 --- [Name: Serafall Leviathan] [Age: 201 years old] [Race: Full-Blooded Devil] [Level: Satan ss] [Battle Power: Level 96.9/Hyper Douluo] [Description: An adorable satanic magical girl, Levia-Tan~!] After Serafall Leviathan appeared in the cafe, she immediately noticed Huo Yuhao and Azazel''s presence. The first is the famous Blue-Eyed Dragon God, while the other is the Governor General of Grigori. As the one who bore the Leviathan Title, Serafall recognized these two by appearance and auras. How could she not know the individual who killed the original Leviathan? ''I couldn''t deal with them by myself. I need backups.'' Serafall solemnly thought to herself. She nced at Sona and two other heiresses, hoping they hadn''t provoked Huo Yuhao yet. Serafall breathed in to calm herself and said with a childish voice, "Are~! What happened here?? Why did so many strong people meet all of a sudden." "Don''t look at me with that gaze, Serafall Leviathan. I''m a side guy who watched everyone unfold abruptly and progress into this state." Azazel answered while drinking the coffee he had ordered beforehand. "If you want an answer, ask your younger sister and the other heiresses from Gremory and Halphas ns." Serafall frowned inside and giggled, "Is that so~?" "Sona-tan, Rias-chan, and Lucia-chan, can youe here and exin a few things to me?" Huo Yuhao lifted his hand to stop Murong Qianxue from stabbing Rias Gremory with her spear. After seeing the redhead acting so rudely against her young lord, the Ice Demoness was annoyed and furious. "Young lord, why did you stop me?" Murong Qianxue pouted and asked, which caused Huo Yuhao to shake his head a little. He looked at the devils and answered, "I''ve killed so many devils in the past, so adding a few numbers now would create some annoying resistanceter." "Conquering them with force is easier, but Devils should get separated into two factions after wars." "Four. After the Great War, There were four great devil factions in the underworld." Vali suddenlymented while drinking his tea. "Old Satan Faction, Anti Satan Faction, and Great King Faction, the Guardian Faction." "Old Satan Faction is a group of the original four devil kings'' descendants. They are a bunch of fools who wanted to revive old Satan''s dream to dominate the world without concrete strength to support it." "Anti Satan Faction, also known as Anti-Satan Rebels, is a group formed by 6 Houses of the 72 pirs during the Devil Civil War, who opposed the Old Satan Faction''s ns of restarting the Great War. They also started the current four Great Maou systems, managing devil parts of the underworld to be better." "That woman in a frilly outfit is one of the satans, who inherited Leviathan''s title despite her lineage. Serafall Leviathan(Sitri)." "The Great King Faction is rooted within the Devil''smunity. They are a group that believes in blood purity and are tied to old traditions, ruling the underworld from the shadows. And rtively have a weird rtionship with Anti-Satan Factions." "And thest faction, Guardian Faction. It''s a group led by Lucifuge n and five other Extra Demon ns to protect the first Lucifer''s Will. They are the most neutral faction and call themselves the Devil''s Guardian. Even though their number is the lowest among the devil factions, Guardian Faction has quite an influence in the underworld." "The current leader of the Guardian Faction, Grayfia Lucifuge, is known as the Silver-Haired Guardian of Devils ns. And Her strength alone is on par with four great satans of this era." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but wonder how much the world has changed because of his influence. Of course, he was aware that by meddling in the Great War, he would create a new future with worse or better conditions for himter on. Grayfia Lucifuge went into this new direction also because of him. ''That also exins why someone like Lucia Halphas exists in the current era. As the younger generation, their strengths are also not bad, with Rias reaching level 68 andparable to Spirit Emperor.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. Serafall walked forward and bent her body to Huo Yuhao politely. "I''ve understood the situation. ording to my sister, you''re testing your strength, correct?" She looked at Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes. Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Yeah. It was a spar, but something was out of my expectation. I guarantee that no lives directly nor indirectly were killed in the ident, so you don''t have to worry about it." "Well, I erased a small chunk of Venus. You didn''t feel anything because the was too far from earth." "Y-You what?" Sona reacted with a shocked expression. "Fuck! You gotta be kidding me." Azazel realized something and used his magic circle to view Venus. His eyes widened because 1/20 of the "literally." was erased to oblivion. He expanded the magic circle and allowed everyone in the room to view the current state of Venus. The three heiresses trembled upon seeing the destruction Huo Yuhao created, and Sona nervously gulped because she wanted to arrest this monster earlier. He only has to lift his finger to kill her. "I experienced it straight ahead, but to think the ray would be this powerful." Vali looked at Venus''s view and nced at the regenerated right arm. He already epted his fate when losing it, but Huo Yuhao was kind enough to fix the lost limb for free. Venus''s size is about the same as earth, and Huo Yuhao destroyed 1/20 of it while testing something in a spar. Serafall clenched her hand in worry because she needed the other Satan to help her. When two familiar-looking magic circles appeared, Serafall sighed in relief and looked at the current person who bore Lucifer''s Title and Silver-Haired Guardian. "Ah, this is an awkward situation. I''m Sirzechs Lucifer. Nice to meet you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." Sirzechs Lucifer greeted while walking out of his crimson magic circle. Grayfia Lucifage followed after and stepped out of her silverish-blue magic circle. "Nice to meet your excellency, The Blue-Eyed Dragon God." She bowed to Huo Yuhao to show her courtesy. [Name: Sirzechs Lucifer] [Age: 203] [Race: Pure-Blooded Devil] [Level: Satan ss] [Battle Power: Level 97.9/Hyper Douluo(Growing)] [Description: A romantic man with some screw loose] Sirzechs is a handsome man who seems to be in his early 20s. He has shoulder-length crimson hair and bluish-green eyes simr to Rias. He wore a formal tunic with light armor for his upper body, having wings-like shoulder pads. And long white pants. [Name: Grayfia Lucifage] [Age: 203] [Race: Pure-Blooded Devil] [Level: Super Satan ss] [Battle Power: Level 98/Hyper Douluo(Growing)] [Description: A beautiful yet strict woman with a kind heart and hidden fetish] Grayfia is a beautiful young woman in her early twenties with back-length silver hair styled in a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest flows down, which ends in twin braids and a pair of calm red eyes. She wore a battle dress, somehow like a bluish-white french maid costume, despite having several military essories like a badge on her bountiful chest and Lucifage n''s symbol on the left shoulder. ''Oh? Limit Douluo, that wasparable to God who weakened in the Great War.'' Huo Yuhao looked at Grayfia''s status with a surprised look. He couldn''t help but not because The Silver-Haired Guardian truly lives to her title. He shook his head and answered, "Nice to meet you two. Now, let''s settle a few things." "Azazel, do you also want to join?" "Is this rted to your goal?" Azazel returned, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. He sighed and walked from his seat. "Then, I''ll join this conversation." Huo Yuhao instructed Murong Qianxue to do something with the Primordial Rune, and they were alerted when they saw the scenery change abruptly. Vali blinked and noticed Azazel disappear from his position alongside two satans and a silver-haired guardian. "Onee-sama/Onii-sama??" Sona and Rias were also startled because Sirzechs and Serafall vanished. --- Mirror Dimension --- Sirzechs Lucifer, Serafall Leviathan, Grayfia Lucifage, and Azazelnded on a tform made of wood. They frowned at each other and looked at Murong Qianxue, who waved her hand in aplex pattern to stabilize the world around them. "Is that rune?" Azazael curiously looked at Murong Qianxue. Murong Qianxue sped her hand and sneered, "You don''t have the right to know, Crow." "So cold." The Governor General of Grigori shook his head in defeat because he didn''t have the power to fight this cold woman. Even with Sirzechs, Serafall, and Grayifa, he doesn''t think Huo Yuhao''s servant would be easy to handle. "Separate dimension..." Grayfiamented while using her demonic power to check the mirror dimension. Huo Yuhaonded on the ground and said, "Wee to the mirror dimension,dies and gentlemen. I bring you to this ce to give you an offer." "An offer that would change your faction''s future." Serafall couldn''t feel any malice from Huo Yuhao and naturally asked, "Uh... May I know what the offer is, Blue-Eyed Dragon God?" "Hehe, It''s simple. Surrender your factions to me, and I''ll give you a chance to reach a higher realm." Huo Yuhao answered with a chuckle, which caused them to freeze on the spot. He patted his chest and added, "And to prove that... This demonstration should be enough to convince you." Huo Yuhao''s seals broke one after another, increasing his overall strength and energy like volcanic eruptions. In just a few seconds, He released 30 of his seals and caused the Mirror Dimension to tremble violently as Divine Aura slept out from his body. Everyone suddenly was pushed away like cotton against a storm, creating an energy shield to protect themselves. Yet, it was pointless because Huo Yuhao''''s energy shattered it instantly. Azazel''s light energy and Devil''s Demonic Energy couldn''t resist 80% of Huo Yuhao''s full power. "Damn... He''s fucking around with us in the Great War." Azazel said with a speechless look on his face. "So this is his true power." "A monster..." Serafall couldn''t hold herself anymore and dropped on the ground. Sirzechs covered himself with the power of destruction and mumbled solemnly, "Dragon of Destruction." Grayfia remembered her father''sst words passed down by the original Lucifer himself years ago. "He''s a True Monarch." She gazed at Huo Yuhao. [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 12] [Race: Ancient Human, Divine Dragon, War Beast] [Cultivation: 100/Wild God] [Battle Power: Level 135/Half-Step God King] Chapter 89: Ouroboros Dragon, Ophis Chapter 89: Ouroboros Dragon, Ophis --- Chapter 89 --- "Okay, don''t die." Huo Yuhao chuckled while sealing his power back. After pushing his limits recklessly in Advalon to reach Title Douluo Realm, he attained a strength that rivals Gods despite not having God Seat nor Immortal Qi. So Huo Yuhao is nothing but a wild or fake god. Regardless, that was enough to pressure anyone in the lower realm. And people like Sirzechs, Serafall, Grayfia, and Azazel would have a rough time facing it. No, they don''t have a chance in the first ce. ''HEHEHE~! Just look how strong my younger brother is~!!'' Tian Meng proudly lifted her nose, making Bing Di and Eluxia shake their heads in entertainment. After all, The Skydream Ice Worm doesn''t contribute much to Huo Yuhao''s overall strength, maybe around 5-8% maximum. When Eluxia taught Huo Yuhao how to manage his Spiritual Energy, Ting Meng could only give her experience and insight when self-cultivating, basically her dreaming. Not saying that Tian Meng was useless, but pure Spiritual Energy maniption is only helpful in a scenario where the enemy is clueless. Something like an illusion and pure spiritual attacks would only help Huo Yuhao in specific cases. Eluxia, the former Necromancer Cmity, was more frontal and dark with her teachings. It''s more suitable for Huo Yuhao, whose Spiritual Energy was extremely vigorous after honing Haki Training Method for years. ''Huo Yuhao was close to reaching the Divine Origin Realm. With this pace, He should be able to form Divine Consciousness sooner orter.'' Eluxia thought while looking at Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Sea and Spiritual Core. Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Sea is no different than a vast ocean with a bluish body of water coursing with Spiritual Power. A massive tree stood in the center like a towering giant, having countless branches with golden leaves filled with spiritual energy. Meanwhile, Murong Qianxue frowned and clutched her hands with a disappointed expression because she couldn''t hold the Mirror Dimension very well when Huo Yuhao released his restriction seals. Even with this new strength, Huo Yuhao is still beyond her reach. "You''re doing great, Qianxue." Huo Yuhao gently patted Murong Qianxue''s shoulder. "Your Mirror Dimensionsted longer than I expected." Hearing the praise, Murong Qianxue smiled happily and nodded because her effort was paying off. Huo Yuhao also gives her some advice to improve her Rune Mastery. "Fuck, I thought you were going to kill me!" Azazel gasped on the floor. He was holding on to his dear life when facing Huo Yuhao''s presence, hoping the blue-haired beast to just joke around. The Satans and Silver-Haired Guardian agreed with Azazel''s statements because their hearts skipped a beat for a second there. The Blue-Eyed Dragon God is no joke. "Well, that was just a demonstration." Huo Yuhao grabbed a chair from his inventory and sat on it. "So, would you ept my offer?" "Can we discuss this with our factions first? At least give us a few days to talk with our people about it first." Sirzechs fixed his cor because he was sweating like tomorrow. "Yes, please~!" Serafall said immediately. She acted cutely to cover her nervousness because she was the only person who couldn''t handle Huo Yuhao''s presence nicely. Grayfia doesn''t say anything because Lucifer''s Will from years ago has told her to surrender upon meeting Huo Yuhao. Yes, The original satan passed a message to the next generation of the Lucifuge n, telling them how to survive in the future. And Huo Yuhao''s appearance confirmed it today. Azazel smiled weakly and said, "I''m on the same boat as them, Huo Yuhao. I need to convince my friend in Grigori to agree with your offer." "Very well." Huo Yuhao nodded a little. "I give devils and fallen angels three weeks, no one month to think about my offer. If none of you respond even after the time limit, I''ll visit your ce and do the deed." "This is not a warning but a promise." A gentle smile appeared on his face. And the devils couldn''t help but question who the devil was here. "Before that, I''ll share one more piece of information." "I''m not alone, there are several people under my organization, like my beautiful helper here, and their strengths are close to each other." "Dragon Nest..." Azazelmented, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle. "Someone is listening." Huo Yuhao grabbed a recovery potion and threw it to Azazel. "Drink that recovery potion to heal your injuries. I don''t put poison in it, so you don''t have to worry about something like that." He picked some candies and casually shared them among the devils, "As for you guys. Here, have some candy. It would heal your senses and stabilize the damages from my sudden aura explosion." Serafall looked down at her palm and saw candy in a paper wrapper. She carefully opened the wrapper and discovered a small green pearl with a sweet aroma. Looking at the other devils, Serafall decided to take a bullet. "Oh my, It''s so good~!" She squealed because the candy melted slightly and triggered a calming effect on her body. "This is like World''s Nectar." Grayfia followed shortly after and felt her mind at ease. Murong Qianxue rolled her eyes because these people didn''t even say thanks to the young lord. They also haven''t realized the value of Full Recovery Potion and Heart-Calming Candy, which "positively." are sought after in the Dragon Nest. And Both are easily worth more than 100.000 Credits. ''And the ones they consumed were made by the young lord personally, having 50% more efficiency than the ones sold by the Medicine Hall.'' The Ice Demoness thought while crossing her arms. Huo Yuhao picked rk Kent''s sses and smiled because he wanted to see the effect. As he ced it, everyone frowned at him. "W-Who are you??" Serafall was confused. Murong Qianxue was ready to activate her martial soul and shouted, "What have you done to my young lord!" "It''s me, Huo Yuhao." He shook his head, but they didn''t believe him for some reason. Who would have thought rk Kent''s sses possessed such a powerful effect? Unknown to Huo Yuhao, rk Kent''s sses made him look like a blue-haired nerd and even adjusted his facial appearance to be less attractive. He''s still handsome, but not enough to make one faint anymore. ''What an item. I can''t recognize you for a second.'' Eluxiamented from the spiritual sea. ''Yeah, you look like a different person.'' Bing Di tilted her head in puzzlement. Tian Meng looked at the casual ck-framed sses and gently rubbed her chin. ''Is this some kind of divine artifact you created in the past?'' She questioned her host. "Well, something like that." Huo Yuhao answered while lifting the sses off, shocking everyone in the Mirror Dimension. "I-Impossible, that guy is you?" The self-proimed magical girl muttered to herself. Murong Qianxue blushed in shame and lowered her head, "I-I''m sorry for my rude behavior, young lord." "It''s okay." Huo Yuhao dismissed his subordinate''s worry and watched others'' reactions in amusement because the sses in his hand could even fool God''s Eyes. No one would know his identity unless he revealed it himself. ... ... They returned to the cafe and discovered Vali on the table with several cups of tea. The heiresses are sitting in front of the young lucifer, waiting for the satans to return. "Since when did you be a British Citizen, Vali? I see that you have embraced Albion''s origin and the British'' culture of drinking tea." Huo Yuhao casuallymented, making Albionugh inside the Divine Dividing. Albion held his stomach andughed, ''HAHAHA~! He got you good, Vali.'' "Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Vali returned while stacking the 16 cups on the table. "I assumed you offered the same deals for Azazel and Devils, right?" "Yeah, you can ask Azazelter." Huo Yuhao nced at the Governor General of Grigori. "For now, I''ll take the destroyed small mountain area as living space." "Y-You can''t..." Rias nervously said. "Oh, Your brother has agreed with this." He suddenly pointed at Sirzechs, which caused Rias and two other heiresses to be shocked. The female redhead was stunned when hearing that and looked at her brother with a terrified expression. There is no way her brother would let such a dangerous person live in Kuoh City, especially with her still governing it. "Please understand, Rias," Sirzechs responded while shaking his head. "And Huo Yuhao has promised me that he wouldn''t meddle with your problem. On the contrary, Kuoh City will be safe because of his presence." Rias hung her head down and mumbled, "No way..." "Can we trust you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God?" Sona suddenly asked while standing before him. Even though her knees are weak, she has to confirm Huo Yuhao''s words. "It depends on how you view me, Sona Sitri." Huo Yuhao returned while yfully poking her forehead. "You wanted a peaceful end, And I give you one now. Unless you provoked me first, that''s it." "I hope you''re not lying." Sona covered her forehead. ... ... And just like that, two days passed after the spar incident and meeting. The destroyed small mountain area turned into a grand housingpound with several ssic Japanese-styled houses enchanted by Primordial Rune. Several strong people from different mythology and factions also visited from time to time, and Huo Yuhao offered the same thing to them, like devils and fallen angels. Some asked for time to think, while others straight denied it. "Mom should have visited me soon, but she said Kyoto has quite a problem." Huo Yuhao rested on the side of the house with some Heart-Calming Candy. "Ying''er visiting me in a few days with some people from the Vatican." "As for Shishou... The Gate of Skye seemed to reawaken when she visited her castle in Scond." He chuckled and said, "I''m alone. Sad." "Is that delicious?" A t yet childish voice echoed in the backyard. A cute young girl with long ck hair down to her hips and ck eyes appeared out of nowhere. And her ears are different from humans as they have pointed tips. She wore a Gothic Lolita ck dress with some purple ribbons. "You finally visited me, Ouroboros Dragon. Ophis." Huo Yuhao smiled at one of the most powerful beings in the High School DxD''s world. Ophis nodded and replied, "I have been watching you, Unknown Dragon God." [Name: Ophis] [Age: Unknown] [Level: Dragon God of Infinity] [Battle Power: Level 125/1st ss God(Infinity/Iplete)] [Description: A being who longed for her home, absolute silence] "You, Help me defeat stupid red..." Huo Yuhao tapped the side of the wooden floor and said, "Sit here, Ophis. Why don''t you eat this candy while talking about defeating this stupid red." "Candy..." Ophis eyed the Heart-Calming Candy with gleaming eyes. "Okay." Chapter 90: Ophiss Deal and Absorbing Bloodlines Chapter 90: Ophis''s Deal and Absorbing Bloodlines --- Chapter 90 --- After the Ouroboros Dragon appeared and ate candies while telling her story about the Stupid Red or the Great Red, one of the strongest beings in the Highschool DxD. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but chuckle inside because she was more uplicated than he expected. "So, someone is taking away your home?" Huo Yuhao asked the small Dragon God beside him. She was chewing her candy and nodded a little. "Then, Why don''t you fight this so-called stupid red?" Ophis stopped for a moment like she was in deep thought and answered, "This is delicious." "Hmm??" Huo Yuhao was speechless because Ophis ignored his question because her mind and senses focused on the Heart-Calming Candy''s taste. And he can''t me her because he makes the candy taste too good for someone who has never tried it. After finishing one candy, Ophis nodded and said, "Baka red is strong. Our strengths are roughly equal, but I always lose for some reason." "I need some aid..." "And that''s why you became the leader of Khaos Brigade?" Huo Yuhao tried to pat her head, which was surprisingly sessful because Ophis didn''t show any aggression. Like a clueless but curious girl, Ophis nced at Huo Yuhao with a confused gaze and brushed her head against his palm a few times to ensure something. "Weird." She said tly. "Something about you is weird, Unknown Dragon God." "Your presence is strangelyforting." [True Lord of the Dragons(Passive)] "Hehe, I''m quite special." Huo Yuhao answered with a smallugh. "Also, you can call me by my name or nickname like Yuhao, Ophis." The Ouroboros Dragon blinked and returned, "Okay. Yuhao, Can you give me more candy?" Huo Yuhao nced down at the bowl where at least 20 Heart-Calming Candies were kept and smiled because Ophis ate them all in a few minutes. He required 10.000 years'' worth of ingredients to make them, but she consumed them like no tomorrow. "Ophis, what about a deal?" He suddenly proposed. "I''ll help you fight Great Red away from the Dimensional Gap, and you''ll help me conquer this world. How about that? Of course, you can add another condition to fit your liking." "Sweets." Ophis immediately grabbed the corner of Huo Yuhao''s clothes. "I want more sweets, like this candy." Huo Yuhao facepalmed because Ophis was so easy to deal withpared to others he had met. And her desire to return home is so pure. "Only that?" He asked, to which the Ouroboros Dragon responded with a nod. "Only sweets and help." Ophis licked her fingers, relishing the taste left behind by the melting Heart-Calming Candy. She looked at Huo Yuhao with a hopeful gaze, which made the blue-haired young man chuckle in defeat. Something about her dull tone and curious expression is amusing to Huo Yuhao. And this same being was feared by many people in this world. "Then, I''ll also add another condition. Is that okay?" He patted Ophis''s head again. "Sure." Ophis was about to give Huo Yuhao her snake, but since he wanted something else. She would dly trade it for some candies. "Yuhao..." "What do you want?" ... ... A few hours passed, and Ophis returned to Khaos Brigade with a small pouch with an enchanted chain around her waist. It''s a spatial item with countless sweet medicines inside it, which was part of her agreement with Huo Yuhao. "Ophis, you finally returned." Someone suddenly called her. It was a handsome young man with short ck hair and blue eyes. He wears a uniquebination of a Japanese school uniform (more specifically, the gakuran-type worn by Japanese schoolboys in the fall) and ancient Chinese robe attire tied on his waist like a jacket. His name is Cao Cao, and he is part of the group leaders within the Khaos Brigade. "Hmm, what''s that pouch?" "Why do you want to know, human?" Ophis frowned indifferently and clutched the pouch because this was her greatest treasure. She won''t share her candy with anyone else. Cao Cao looked at Ophis and sighed inside because even when getting some of her power stolen, the Ouroboros Dragon''s presence was no joke. "Nothing, I''m just curious." He replied naturally. Ophis ignored Cao Cao and walked past him with a candy in her mouth. Huo Yuhao told her never to trust these people because they were useless against Great Red. She was confused but decided to trust Huo Yuhao more because of sweets. Cao Cao and other group leaders would open their mouths in disbelief upon learning this. "Haa... We only have to wait until everything is ready." Cao Cao turned around and looked at Ophis with aplicated gaze. Meanwhile, in Dragon Nest''spound, Huo Yuhao stayed inside his sealed room and looked at several vials Eas had collected in the Great War. [Lucifer''s Blood] [Leviathan''s Blood] [Beelzebub''s Blood] [Asmodeus''s Blood] [72 Demon Pirs'' Blood] [Extra Devil ns'' Blood] [Fallen Angels'' Blood] [Seraphs'' Blood] [Biblical God''s Blood] [Ddraig''s Blood] [Albion''s Blood] [Ophis''s Blood] "Oh wow, you collected quite a lot of them." Tian Mengmented while looking at the vials. Bing Di scanned over the blood and added, "Some of this blood is nobler than mine, but the rest is weaker in potency like that of Leviathan''s blood." Eluxia frowned a little and focused on the Biblical God, Seraphs, and Fallen Angel''s blood. They possessed rich amounts of Light Energy, whether pure or not. The only difference between them was that Biblical God''s blood is the origin and has more potency with a hint of divinity. "Are you going to absorb all of them?" She asked Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "Yes. Even though the effect was unknown, Ancient Human''s adaptability should be able to help me with fusing the blood and enhancing themter." "I might have to create another spiral helix in my Blood Core, considering the mix of all Devils'' blood would cause imbnce for War Beast. It also applies to Biblical, Seraphs, and Fallen''s Angel''s blood." "As for Ophis, Ddraig, and Albion... I believe Naga''s Bloodline is strong enough to absorb them all." "Everything seemed alright..." Eluxia thought about something for a moment. "Do you need help?" "Later. Thanks for asking, Eluxia." He replied while closing his eyes. "For now, I have to focus on something else." Tian Meng and Bing Di''s instincts screamed in amazement as the room filled with Beastly Aura. Huo Yuhao transformed into War Beast form and used Ruler Authority to condense the blood he collected into four. [Name: True Devil''s Blood] [Type: Bloodline] [Grade: SS] [Description: A condensation of all devils blood with dark yet strong demonic power within it] [Name: True Seraphs''s Blood] [Type: Bloodline] [Grade: SS] [Description: A condensation of all angels blood with gentle yet violent holy power within it [Name: Biblical God''s Blood] [Type: Bloodline] [Grade: SSS] [Description: A powerful blood that was once sovereign of humanity, having a hint of Divine Energy] [Name: True Dragon''s Blood] [Type: Bloodline] [Grade: SSS] [Description: A mixture of Ophis, Ddraig, and Albion''s Blood] Huo Yuhao waved his hand and slowly merged the bloodline into his Blood Core. However, he suddenly heard Evo''s voice telling him about something. [True Dragon''s Blood is 100%patible with Divine Dragon''s Race and Naga''s Bloodline] [Biblical God''s Blood is 100%patible with Ancient Human''s Race] [Do you want to fuse them?] [Yes/No] "Huh?" Huo Yuhao wasn''t surprised about the True Dragon''s Blood being consistent with him. However, to think Biblical God''s blood ispatible with the Ancient Human Race. That''s something else. "Err, okay." [Fusing...] Huo Yuhao felt an explosion inside his Blood Core and noticed the outeryer, which actually was Ancient Human''s innate adaptability, being attacked by Biblical God''s Blood. He gasped for air and trembled violently for a few minutes. "Fuck..." He cursed in annoyance, gritting his teeth while waiting for Ancient Humans to absorb Biblical God''s Blood. [Ancient Humans have upgraded to Demi-Primordial Human] [You have awakened Faith Energy] "Ugh, I forgot upgrading races is very ufortable." Huo Yuhao stretched his body and noticed some golden hair strands falling off his head. He used Light Maniption to create a reflective mirror and saw his new appearance. Nothing changes except a few strands of his blue hair be golden, which was rather underwhelming. "What did I even expect?" [Fusing...] Evo suddenly said. Huo Yuhao felt another enormous wave of energy from Naga''s Bloodline and used Universal Breathing Technique to control his body flow. His draconic blood was thicker than True Dragon''s Blood, allowing him to absorb them smoothly. [You have fused True Dragon Blood] [You have awakened the Power of Infinity] [You have awakened zing Inferno me] [You have awakened Soul Reducing Venom] "Infinity." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and felt the Ouroboros Dragon''s ability. "How disappointing. It basically reduces my energy consumption into neverending fractions, but not an infinite quantitypared to True God." "Simply put, It''s passively allowed me to use my energy more efficiently. Close to zero, but would never reach it." "What a paradox." He chuckled because his strength increased slightly, but something was changing extensively inside his Spirit Core. The Golden Sun rotated faster than before and generated more energy than before. Huo Yuhao stared at True Devil''s Blood and absorbed it, creating another spiral helix inside Blood Core. He felt an unknown link of power and demonic energy that red like a flood. Some strands of his also be white. [You have absorbed True Devils Blood] [You have awakened New Race: True Daemon] [You have awakened True Demonic Power] [You have obtained Solomon''s Blessing] "Next." Huo Yuhao created another spiral helix with True Seraph''s Blood. Unlike True Devil Blood, the energy was somewhat warm yet cold. [You have absorbed True Seraph''s Blood] [You have awakened New Race: Genesis Seraph] [You have awakened Genesis Holy Energy] [Child of Light(Passive) reacted with Genesis Holy Energy and upgraded to Child of Genesis(Passive)] "Open status." [Opening Status...] [Status] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 12] [Race: Demi-Primordial Human] [Sub-Races: Divine Dragon(+), War Beast(+), True Daemon(+), Genesis Seraph(+)] [ss: Dawn Bringer, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Silver Ranger, Techno Master, Pagma''s Incarnation] [Cultivation Realm: Level 99/Limit Douluo] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Dragon Emperor(7+), True Ancestor Eyes of the Lords(2+), Chains of Heaven(9+), Divine Throne of Beginning and End(2+)] [Contracted Souls: Tian Meng, Bing Di, Eluxia] [Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice, Uriel] [Extra Passive Skill: High Roll(SSS), Supreme King''s Presence, Lesser Divine Sense, Voice of All Things, True Lord of Dragons, Limit Breaker, Boundless Emperor, Heavenly Poison Body] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist(SS), Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Universal Breathing Technique, Weapon Mastery, Martial Art Mastery, Gentle Love Tap(S)] [Equipment: Eas(103), Frost(SS), Toolbox(SSS), White Ogre Mask(S), Yeoui(SSS+), rk Kent''s sses(SS), Ste(SSS+) Guardian Shield(SS+), Leviathan Axe(SS+), Switch Axe(SSS), Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(74), Gold(14), tinum(1)] "Oh, it shows Extra Passive Skills now." Huo Yuhao looked at the new section of his status panel. "Well, that was quite a lot." He rolled around on the floor a few times and yawned because absorbing bloodlines takes too much effort. At least he doesn''t have to wait like War Beast''s bloodline assimtion. "Okay, next project." "Eluxia, are you ready?" "We are gonna make Spirit Soul with a portion of Ddraig and Albion souls." Chapter 91: Rumored Saintess and Helena? Chapter 91: Rumored Saintess and Helena? --- Chapter 91 --- Dragon Nest''s Compound. Murong Qianxue watched Huo Yuhao''s private house from afar and sighed because he hadn''t gotten out for three days. No one knows about Huo Yuhao''s condition after he shut himself inside a realm enchanted by severalyers of runes. Several people from the Devils and Fallen Angels'' sides have been trying to make contact with Huo Yuhao. However, since he entered seclusion, no one from Dragon Nest could make a clear decision on his behalf. Murong Qianxue had to deal with them herself, which tested her will and patience. ''These people are annoying.'' The Ice Demoness thought while drinking her green tea. She has already sensed three presences behind her. She ced her tea on the table and turned around, "What do you want this time, Crow, Silverhead, Greenhead." "Damn... I have a name, and you nicknamed Crow. At least call me a handsome fallen angel or something." Azazel returned while walking into the room. "In your dream." Murong Qianxue responded indifferently. Azazel chuckled because his flirting technique wasn''t working Murong Qianxue. He nced at the devils who followed him into the Dragon Nest''s Compound and said, "I assumed you''re here to ask a few things like me." The devil he was talking to are Grayfia Lucifuge and Ajuka Beelzebub, one of the current Devil Kings. Also, the brightest researcher in the devilmunity as he created the Evil Pieces system to reincarnate other species into devils. Ajuka is a bewitchingly attractive man in his early twenties, with light blue eyes and green hair naturally slicked back. He has a mysterious aura around him which he ims makes him seem devilish. After hearing many bizarre things from his fellow satans, Ajuka bes curious and decides to visit Dragon Nest''spound with Grayfia because everyone warns him to be careful. Yet, he couldn''t even meet with the Blue-Eyed Dragon God as Murong Qianxue denied his request to have an audience with him. It''s been three days, and Ajuka hasn''t given up because he liked to see the famous World-shing Saber. If possible, he also wants to ask about Huo Yuhao''s time travel to the future. This information is limited to a few people only. "Ma''am, I''d like to meet the Blue-Eyed Dragon God." The green-haired satan politely requested, which made Murong Qianxue''s brows twitch in annoyance. Murong Qianxue crossed her arms and replied, "It''s been three days, and you haven''t given up. The young lord allowed your factions to have one month to think, don''t upset him. Unless you wanted him to visit the Underworld personally, that''s it." "That doesn''t sound funny." Ajuka sighed inside because this woman was hard to deal with, evenpared to others like Grayfia Lucifuge or Serafall Leviathan. Murong Qianxue''s indifferent personality is the hardest to crack. "Is he still staying in the room?" Grayfia suddenly questioned while looking at Huo Yuhao''s house from the window. "Yes. And I wouldn''t let you guys disturb him." Murong Qianxue answered while drinking her tea again. "Well, I''ll stay here and wait then." Azazel casually sat on the sofa because he had many questions regarding Dragon Nest. He has convinced a majority of Grigori''s members to surrender, but some people don''t have the brain to see the consequence in the long run. Grayfia sat on the opposite sofa and added, "Same." "Pardon my intrusion." Ajuka followed them, which left Murong Qianxue speechless. The Ice Demoness leaned on the wall and rubbed her forehead because she didn''t want to waste her time on them. She tilted her head and felt familiar energying from thepound''s gate. "Finally, someone who could take over this issue." She groaned while disappearing from the room. Ajuka stared at Murong Qianxue''s position and muttered, "What an incredible speed she has. That''s pure speed without an ounce of mana or demonic energy." "She''s a human, but her strength exceeded Biblical God," Azazelmented. "I know this sounds ridiculous. Still, I believe Dragon Nest has more people like her." "Are you sure, Azazel?" Grayfia opened her mouth for the second time. The fallen angel shrugged and added, "Even though I fell from grace, God''s characteristics are fresh in my mind. He''s powerful and the ruler of heaven, but his presence is somewhat inferior to Murong Qianxue." "I''ve met some people from Dragon Nest in the past three days, and all of them possessed menacing auras like sharp weapons that could cut everything." "You can take my words like a grain of salt." "It''s hard to believe, but Grayfia and I have witnessed Huo Yuhao''s power. Heck, I can''t breathe properly before him." "Why do you think we decided to take his offer?" Azazel rested his arms on the sofa''s rails. Someone opened the door, and they moved their gaze there instinctively, finding a young woman with silky golden hair and a white veil that covered her facial features. Grayfia frowned because she couldn''t sense this young woman''s presence. "Oh my, nice to meet you." The young woman greeted them with her sweet yet gentle voice. Azazel recognized the young woman and spoke, "Wow. Why did the rumored new saintess of the Vatican visit this ce?" "That saintess? The reincarnation of Jeanne D''Arc." Ajuka wanted to confirm Azazel''s words, and the young woman giggled when hearing them. Qianye Ying''er shook her head slightly and replied, "That''s just an exaggerated rumor. Even though we have a lot of simrities, I''m not the reincarnation of Jeane d''Arc. People from the Vatican are mistaking me for her because of this." A big white g with a dragon''s head symbol tied into a long spear-like pole appeared before them. It released a pure light element that made the devils inside the room shiver a little. "T-That is." Grayfia and Ajuka''s devil nature shuddered for some reason. "Saint g." Azazel covered his mouth in awe and pondered because that artifact vanished from the face of the earth after Jeanne D''Arc''s death. The church and exorcists tried to search for it, but none could find it after hundred years. "Wait, no. That''s not Jeanne''s g." Qianye Ying''er smiled at Azazel while deactivating her martial soul and answered, "Correct. That''s something I was born with, Martial Soul." "Ah... How rude of me. Let me introduce myself first." "My name is Qianye Ying''er. The right wing''s division leader of Dragon Nest and Huo Yuhao''s fiance." "Fiance??" Grayfia''s eyes widened. BOOM! An explosion suddenly urred from Huo Yuhao''s room, and Qianye Ying''er summoned her martial soul again. She quickly manipted the light element in the atmosphere and created a holy barrier, which prevented the explosion from getting outside the Dragon Nest''s Compound. "Young lord!" Murong Qianxue shouted while waving her hand to cool down the area with ice. Everyone watched the explosion die gradually and reveal a handsome young man with mainly blue hair and some white and golden strands. He was okay with no injuries, and they could see a pinkish light above his palm. He coughed a few times and exhaustedly whispered, "Uhuk... Sess." [You have sessfully absorbed Young Dragon''s Spirit as your fourth contracted soul] [Do you want to name it] "Eluxia, you can give the Spirit Soul a name. After all, you contributed the most to this creation." The necromancer smiled inside the spiritual sea because all she did was give Huo Yuhao advice and direction. "Even though my naming sense is quite bad, I''ll try my best." She replied naturally. After a few seconds of thinking, Eluxia slowly opened her mouth and added, "Helena. I shall name this young soul Helena." [Ding!] [Name: Helena] [Type: Spirit Soul/Growing Dragon Soul] [Age: 5 minutes old] [Description: Helena is an artificial soul created using Spiritual Codex from the Cmity Necromancer Eluxia and Two Heavenly Dragons Soul''s pieces, having draconic traits] [Divine Throne of Beginning and End] [1st Spirit Ring: Cmity Necromancer Eluxia] [2nd Spirit Ring: Scorpion-Tailed Jade Ice Phoenix] [3rd Spirit Ring: Young Heavenly Dragon, Hna] [Name: Helena] [Type: Spirit Ring/Dragon Soul] [Age: 5 minutes old] [Description: An unorthodox spirit ring personified by Hna''s origin from Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor, possessing their innate abilities] [Spirit Skills: Boost, Prate, Divide, Reflect] [As Helena bes older and more powerful, the rted Spirit Skills/Innate Abilities also be more potent. The host is also able to summon her dragon form into Material Worldter] Huo Yuhao ced Helena back in the Spiritual Sea, near his Spiritual Core, and nourished her soul there. Tian Meng, Bing Di, and Eluxia surrounded her and began to say something. "Wee young one." Tian Meng smiled while looking at the ball of light. "Thou shall call me older sister daydream from now on." "Like she could understand you." Bing Di rolled her eyes at Tian Meng''s acts. Eluxia giggled in amusement and said, "Helene actually could understand Tian Meng. Well, only based on feelings at this point because her nature hasn''t grown yet." Huo Yuhao stretched his body and looked around wryly because he had created another destruction. He noticed the holy barrier and smiled because Qianye Ying''er had returned to his side. "Yuhao~!!" Qianye Ying''er quickly hugged Huo Yuhao and kissed his lips, making a few women in the area jealous. Grayfia clenched her hand and mumbled, "Lucifer''s Will." Chapter 92: Annoyance and Confession Chapter 92: Annoyance and Confession --- Chapter 92 --- Dragon Nest''s Compound. After telling everyone what happened when he was inside the sealed room and introducing Qianye Ying''er as his fiance, Huo Yuhao sat in the room with two devils and the leader of the fallen angels. "Why the long face, Grayfia?" Huo Yuhao smiled at the famously known Silver-Haired Guardian. Grayfia nced at the young woman beside Huo Yuhao and asked, "Is she really your fiance?" Qianye Ying''er smiled because she could feel jealousying from Grayfia''s heart. Having eyes that could see someone''s desires is so convenient in this kind of situation, which caused her to giggle in amusement. ''Let''s see... She''s not bad. That appearance is 7.9/10, and with a gentle yet firm heart, this woman is definitely suitable to be Yunlong''s good little maid.'' The young woman thought while observing Grayfia Lucifuge inside out. She even expected Huo Yun''er to agree because such a fine servant is rare nowadays. Not to mention Dragon Nest would conquer this world sooner orter. She giggled and showed the silver-haired devil her engagement ring, "Too bad for you because I''m legit his fiance." Huo Yuhao obviously noticed that Qianye Ying''er wanted to test Grayfia Lucifuge''s character. He sighed inside because the blonde would convert one of the current most prominent devils into her cult''s followers. And it was toote to prevent it. Once Qianye Ying''er focused on something, that person would be on her watchlist. "Says Grayfia-San. What''s your motive for chasing over my fiance?" She asked casually. "I don''t know what you''re talking about?" Grayfia was caught off guard but acted cool outside. However, she forgets to hide her nervous clenched hands. "Is that so? What a shame." Qianye Ying''er giggled while resting her head on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. She was having fun teasing this rigid-looking woman. The males stared at each other, shaking their heads helplessly because women were still mysterious creatures no matter how old they were. This statement was proven true throughout history. While the gold and silver individuals are ring at each other, Huo Yuhao calmly listens to Ajuka and Asazel''s questions regarding Dragon Nest''s policy and benefits, like what they could obtain from agreeing with his offer. After all, achieving a higher realm is vague to them because the higher ce in this world is heaven or other gods'' realms like Asgard and Olympus. "Before that, I have to ask this." Azazel suddenly stopped. "Are you part of Chinese Mythology?" Huo Yuhaoughed because Azazel''s question was hrious. After all, Douluo Dalu''s Universe could be considered Xianxia based on the Chinese Novel''s standards. It''s technically part of the mythology, but he doesn''t think so because everything has branched too much outside reality. "No, I''m not." He answered while shaking his head. "You''ll understandter when every major faction receives my offer." "I''ll tell you my origin at the correct time." Azazel couldn''t believe this guy and rolled his eyes, "Again, with that mysteriousness... Do you think this is Xianxia''s drama?" "Kinda." Huo Yuhao smirked a little. "Anyway... Yuhao-Dono, Can I see your World-shing Saber?" Ajuka suddenly changed the topic, which caused Huo Yuhao to raise his brow a little because this man had been asking curious-filled questions for the past hour. "World-shing Saber? Ah, you mean Ste." Huo Yuhao was confused for a second and connected the dots because he hadn''t told anyone about his weapon, so people could only assume things. He took out the Star Quaking Saber from inventory, which caused the room''s mood to be heavier because the de had yed numerous beings in the Great War. Even Azazel trembled upon seeing the bewitched saber that shed some of hisrades in the past. Fallen Angels are luckypared to other factions because they distanced themselves from Huo Yuhao at that moment. "Ara, what a nice weapon." Qianye Ying''ermented while looking at the clean ck des slowly getting off the Starless Saber Sheath. "Did you create another weapon when I was at the Vatican?" "Well, Something like that." Huo Yuhao nodded casually, which caused the two devils and the Governor General of Grigori to frown. Now that Azazel thinks about it, Huo Yuhao did draw a fresh de out of smithery when fighting everyone in the Great War. ''Don''t tell me he could create Divine Weapon out of spite? That''s utterly broken. What the fuck!'' Azazel was mind blown because even Biblical God needs a few days to months to create Sacred Gears. Ajuka''s eyes shone brightly as he excitedly analyzed the de, "What a breathtaking weapon. One can''t obtain such hardness and sharpness with the normal method!" "Can I inspect it further personally-! Hiss, so sharp." He tried to look at the de closer and felt intense energy cutting his skin. "I take that as a no." Huo Yuhao shook his head and sheathed Ste back because no one should be able to use her beside him. It was custom-made to meet his overall stats and attributes, having weight simr to the Starless Saber Sheath. They could try, but the bacsh would be too big. "Oh yeah, I haven''t asked this a few days ago. Why did youe here with some people from the Vatican, Ying''er?" He suddenly remembered something. Qianye Ying''er changed her expression and weirdly replied, "The reason... It''splicated and borderline stupid." "Two days ago, a nun was asked to fly to Japan, specifically Kuoh City, to be a part-timer in the Church. Still, I found it shady and decided to tag along because you''re here too." "Then, some stupid guys stole Excalibur from Vatican''s warehouse. And the trace led us to the same location." "Kuoh City..." Azazel solemnly thought because he didn''t feel good about this conversation. Something feels off because some guys also instructed Fallen Angels to leave Kuoh City alone like someone is his attention away from this ce. "Reynare, Mittelt, Kwarner." "Wait, there is another guy in her group, right..." "Dohnaseek." Huo Yuhao suddenly replied. "Raynare said there was a guy in her group, but he disappeared after killing some Sacred Gears users in Kuoh City." "Dohnaseek..." Azazel''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Fucking Kokabiel!" "Fuck! Fuck that crazy guy!" Everyone was quiet when seeing Azazel''s sudden outrage as he spouted so many random animal names. He breathed heavily and rubbed his temple like going through a life crisis. "Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao threw Heart-Calming Candy at him. "I''m not. A crazy guy who''s a war fanatic from Grigori is nning something. No wonder I haven''t heard anything about him in the past three months." Azazel caught the candy and chewed on it immediately. He looked at Huo Yuhao and added, "If a fallen angel randomly appeared and started to say some bullshit, please don''t believe his words. And don''t associate him with Grigori because we aren''t part of his n." "I don''t want our race to be extinct because of an idiot." Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Sure." "Thanks, Yuhao." Azazel sighed in relief. "Sorry, but I have to return first." He created a magic circle and disappeared from the room, leaving four people in an awkward mood. Huo Yuhao whistled and called for Murong Qianxue, telling her to fortify some barrier around the Dragon Nest''s Compound. This city would be chaotic in a few days if Highschool DxD''s plot went on correctly. "So, do you have more questions?" He returned his gaze to Ajuka and Grayfia. Ajuka wanted to ask about Time Travel''s topic but decided not to open his mouth because hearing things like stolen Excalibur and rogue fallen angels made him worry about something. "I have to return to the Underworld too. Thanks for answering my question, Yuhao-Dono." He lowered his head to Huo Yuhao. "Then, see you again in a few days." "What about you, Grayfia-chan?" Huo Yuhao yfully asked, which caused the silver-haired woman to bashfully shakes her head. Grayfia took a deep breath and said, "Can we talk alone." "Oh my? You''re going to make your move now. How bold~!" Qianye Ying''er covered her mouth because a woman like Grayfia is easy to read. She kissed Huo Yuhao''s cheek and walked to the front door. "Then, I''ll be leaving you two alone here." "Don''t worry... I won''t let anyone enter this ce. So you two could let out some steam~!" "Ying''er, stop." Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. "Grayfia''s face reddened like a tomato because of your teasing." "Hehe, my bad~!" The teasing master walked out of the room and hummed while using runes to seal the door. Grayfia awkwardly walked off her seat and bowed before Huo Yuhao, looking at his royal blue eyes nervously. "Y-Yuhao-Sama, can you take your weapon out again?" She requested with a stutter. "Uh, okay?" Huo Yuhao pulled out Ste, and Grayfia could feel the blood of Lucifer from it. Tears ran from Grayfia''s eyes, which left Huo Yuhao surprised because this happened so suddenly. She grasped the de and let the edge cut her palm, dripping the carpet with her blood. Weirdly, a menacing ck light started toe out from Ste''s de. "The de contained thest will of the Original Lucifer." "When you defeated him in the Great War, he sacrificed some of his true devil''s blood to seal a mental message to the future head of the Lucifuge n." "He told the previous head, my father, to surrender upon your second arrival to this world." "I, Grayfia Lucifuge, the 2nd Lucifuge n''s Head, present herself to Huo Yuhao-Sama''s reign." She kissed the de, which cut her rosy lips slightly. [You have restored Lucifer n''s innate skill] [Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light] "Ahh..." Grayfia felt a familiar powerful ck light explode from Huo Yuhao''s body, making her devil''s nature happy. "T-This is the Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light" "Yuhao-Sama." "Please ept this lowly servant." [Do you want to ept Grayfia Lucifuge as your servant?] Evo''s voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s mind. [Upon epting her, you''ll receive a hidden quest] [Yes/No] "Yes, I epted you to my family, Grayfia." Huo Yuhaoughed in defeat when hearing Evo''s notification. Grayfia smiled happily despite her bleeding lips and hugged Huo Yuhao''s legs. "Thank you... Thank you, Yuhao-Sama~!" She whispered like a dreame true. [You have triggered a Hidden Quest] [Name: Lucifer''s Last Will] [Objective: Unify all devils under your control and kills people who tarnished his name] [Reward: 32x True Evil Pieces, Gold Upgrading Tickets(10), and Random Ancient Devil''s Blood] [Penalty: None] [Time Limit: 1 year] Chapter 93: Exorcist, Nun, and Nekoshou Chapter 93: Exorcist, Nun, and Nekoshou --- Chapter 93 --- nk! "Faster!" nk! "I SAID FASTER!" BAM! CLANK! Huo Yuhao swung a random twig coated with 1% of his Armament Haki and sted a blue-haired girl with quite a voluptuous body. She held a two-handed sword with an ax-like guard and odd three-pointed ends. He waved the twig andmented, "What''s the use of your sword if you can''t even swing it properly?" "Excalibur is nothing but scrap." "It''s not even worth mentioning such a sword. No, the only thing famous about the sword is the name." He added, which caused the girl to tremble in anger. [Name: Xenovia Quarta] [Age: 17 years old] [Race: Human] [Level: Mid-ss Exorcist] [Equipment: Excalibur Destruction, Durandal(Sealed)] [Battle Power: Level 41-59/Spirit Ancestor-King(Dual-Wield)] [Description: A girl with a wed view of the world, thinking anything rted to darkness must be evil and disgusting things] Xenovia is a young woman with chin-length blue hair dyed green fringe on the right side and bold brown eyes. She''s around 166 cm in height with a very bombshell body for a girl her age and a firm physique because of her early-age training, shown by her toned arms and lean yet athletic thighs. She wore a Church battle suit consisting of a ck, skin-tight, short sleeve leotard with pauldrons, fitting fingerless gloves that reached her biceps, and thigh-high boots decorated with straps. It was "neatly." covered under a white hooded cloak with gold and blue ents. Even though Xenovia is from a church, she shows questionable curves and areas that could lead to sins. It''s dangerous for weak-willed men or any teenager with a right-functioning lower head to see such an appearance. "Take your words back..." Xenovia trembled when hearing Huo Yuhao''s remarks. "I can withstand the insult aimed at myself, but you cannot disgrace Excalibur''s name!" She rushed toward Huo Yuhao and shouted, "Excalibur... Destruction!" "Kid." Huo Yuhao shook his head. The Excalibur Destruction released an intense golden light powered by holy power, and Huo Yuhao watched the de approaching him. He added another small amount of Armament Haki, raising it to 1.5%, and swung the twig in his hand. "Ittoryu: Sanj¨±roku Pondo H¨­." BAM! A powerful energy sh escaped the twig and swept over Xenovia''s firm abdomen with terrifying force, canceling her Excalibur Destruction ability. Cough! Xenovia choked on air and wasunched like a cannonball on another side of the field, crashing onto a thick wall reinforced by runes. She couldn''t even see because her vision was blurry, fainted while looking at a lonely figure on the training field. "Xenovia-San!" A young blonde girl stepped onto the training field and approached Xenovia with a worried look. She has two silver rings with green gems on her frail-looking hands. [Name: Asia Argento] [Age: 17] [Race: Human] [Level: Low-Level] [Equipment: Twilight Healing(Sacred Gear)] [Battle Power: Level 3/Spirit Trainee(Weak as fuck)] [Description: A kindhearted girl with so much anxiety and a young believer of Huo Yuhao''s religion(newly converted)] Asia is a pretty young girl with long blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair flows down to her back, with split bangs over her forehead and a single strand sticking out from the top and sloping backward. She wore a dark teal nun outfit with light blue ents, a white veil over her head, a brown satchel slung on her right hip, and brown boots with ck straps in an X-shaped pattern. She also wore a silver cross ne around her neck, hidden under her robe. "Aww, you don''t have to be that harsh, you know." Qianye Ying''ermented with a giggle. She was sitting on a chair with a cold smoothie in her hand, watching the spar with an amused expression. Since Qianye Ying''er wasing from the Vatican, she went to Kuoh City with three other girls. While Xenovia and Asia stayed in the Dragon Nest''s Compound, thest girl went to her acquaintance''s house to greet them first. "Sadly, It has to be this way." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "The standard of the Vatican''s training is too low to meet my expectation. Not to mention Xenovia''s view about this world is too naive." "No matter howrge or small an organization was." "There are always some rats living inside it." "No?" He smirked at Qianye Ying''er. Qianye Ying''er giggled because some people from the Vatican had been bugging her to be the new Saint Jeanne D''Arc. Some specific guys even desired to take her Holy Dragon Battle g like it was a lost artifact, but they couldn''t because the Saint g is her martial soul. In the end, Qianye Ying''er has to use force and beat everyone in the Vatican, taking control of everything from the shadow. Of course, it''s not hard for Qianye Ying''er to spot some rats inside the Vatican and sentence them under close observation. The Vatican is no different than her yground, with some exceptions of Archangels and special people like Vasco Strada, Dulio Gesualdo, and Griselda Quarta. Everything rted to light elements and holy power was "easily." owned by Brahma Soul Bell because Qianye Ying''er could manipte individuals who practiced them. Even though the golden-haireddy arrived at the Vatican less than a week ago, her influence is on par with Azazel, the leader of Grigori. And no one realized it because Brahma Soul Bell makes everything easier for her. "I''ll deal with themter, Yuhao." She answered, drinking her smoothie. Huo Yuhao chuckled and returned, "Shishou would beat you in shape if she saw you like this." Qianye Ying''er immediately used her Observation Haki to peek into the future and sighed in relief because Scathach didn''t appear out of anywhere and shocked her. "Don''t scare me like that, Yuhao!" She pouted at him. "I''m just saying." Huo Yuhao shrugged, which made Qianye Ying''er enter alert mode because Scathach could have appeared at any time. "F-Fine." Qianye Ying''er groaned and ced her smoothie down. After fixing her sitting position and stretching a few times, she used Universal Breathing Technique to absorb natural energies into Spirit Circuits and convert them into Spirit Energy. She meditated for two hours and discovered how scattered energy was in the Highschool DxD''s world. Unlike Douluo Dalu Universe, the force here is messy and filled with unnecessaryponents like distinctive aspects of races, while Spirit Energy could support any Spirit Skills without any problem. "Um, Ying''er." A soft voice is calling her. Qianye Ying''er opened her eyes slowly and saw Asia standing with half-beaten Xenovia. "Hmm, is there any problem?" She asked with a confused expression. "Uh, Well... I want to ask about that blue-haired guy." Xenovia suddenly opened her mouth. "Just who''s he?" "Eh..." Qianye Ying''er forgot Xenovia is all muscle with barely any brain to process information kind of girl. Even Asia was speechless because the blue-haired girl hadn''t converted to the New Religion. "Yuhao is quite famous. How could you have never heard about him?" "Don''t tell me you only asked him for a duel because he told you Excalibur is trash." "Is there any more important reason than that??" Xenovia cluelessly tilted her head, making Asia facepalm. "Now that you mentioned it, Huo Yuhao is a Chinese name, no? And sounded rather familiar for some reason." "Oh, my lord..." Asia prayed while shaking her head. Qianye Ying''er stared at Xenovia''s soul and discovered that she was clueless. "Xenovia-chan... Huo Yuhao has many titles throughout history, which "entirely." were recorded in the Church''s archives. And Blue-Eyed Dragon God is one of them." She said, watching Xenovia''s expression change into a shocked look. "WHAT?!" "WAIT, SO HUO YUHAO IS THE HANDSOME-FACED SWORDSMAN???" ... ... "Someone is calling my name." Huo Yuhao casually strolled on the block close to Dragon Nest''spound. Since Qianye Ying''er and others were fully absorbed in their meditation, he decided to try some sweets at the nearest bakery. And Ophis probably would like them too. "Let''s see..." He arrived at the decent-sized shop, having a bold que with "Warm Sun Bakery." characters written on it. "Hmm, Xiao Xiao owned a bakery too." "I should have brought Xiao Xiao to Highschool DxD, considering there isn''t much real danger here. Anyway, I was overly cautious because Main Quest is a sudden quest. " Huo Yuhao reached over the bakery''s door handle and met with a small squishy hand of a girl. He looked down and saw a white-haired girl in Kuoh Academy''s girl uniform. "Ah..." "Hello?" He greeted her awkwardly. "Hello..." She silently answered back with a confused tone. [Name: Koneko Toujou(Shirone)] [Age: 16 years old] [Race: Nekoshou, Low-ss Devil(Reincarnated)] [Level: Mid-Level Devil] [Battle Power: Level 43/Spirit Ancestor] [Description: A cute cat girl with aplicated past] Koneko is a petite girl with white hair and gold eyes. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose splits hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wears a ck cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. "My hand." She said while staring at Huo Yuhao''s sses. Yes, he wore rk Kent''s sses because walking around would be easier. Huo Yuhao chuckled and lifted his hand off the door handle, "My bad. I must have startled you." "Are you going to buy something too?" Koneko nodded and replied, "This ce has the best mochi." "Try it." "I see... Then, I''ll try it." Huo Yuhao gently opened the door and entered the bakery, leaving the cat girl alone at the entrance. ... "What was that..." Koneko looked at her hand and felt Nekoshou''s instinct react when Huo Yuhao touched her. There was something primal about this young man with sses, and she couldn''t put her hand on it. Her cheeks reddened because Nekoshou is inherently a lower-ssed beast racepared to Huo Yuhao''s War Beast with several ancient bloodlines. It''s normal for Koneko to feel overwhelmed by this strange sensation. A feeling of facing the Alpha of beasts. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, a ck-haired cat girl with striking hazel-gold eyes instinctively shivered because someone had made contact with her sister. "Nyaa~?!" A cat-like yelp escaped her mouth. "Hmph! Someone dared to approach my little sister~!" "How dare you, NYAA~!!" Chapter 94: One Cat? No, Two Cats! Chapter 94: One Cat? No, Two Cats! --- Chapter 94 --- At the park, Huo Yuhao chewed on mochi and sensed a cat girl''s presence in the bush a few meters away from his bench. And It was Koneko. She had been observing him like a curious cat for an hour. ''Are you going to do something with her?'' Bing Di asked while looking at the adorable white head between bushes. ''From the blood, I could feel she was part of the beast race.'' Huo Yuhao leaned on the wooden bench and replied, "Well, you''re not wrong. She''s part of the Nekoshou n. A unique Yokai n branched from the Nekomata Race, having high talent in Youjutsu and Senjutsu." "Unfortunately, because of a traumatic experience, Koneko buried her heritage and never trained it. She could easily have be Ultimate ss Devil with enough effort." He fixed his sses while feeling the chewy yet soft texture of the mochi in his mouth. This sweet mochi is quite a p. Meanwhile, Koneko bit onto her sweet red-bean bun and watched Huo Yuhao meticulously. She blinked once and noticed he was gone from the bench. "Eh?" Huo Yuhao stood behind her andmented, "It''s rude to watch over someone like that, you know." Koneko was alerted and turned around, finding the blue-haired young man. She was shocked inside because he suddenly appeared behind her without any use of magic. And she felt overwhelmed because that pair of blue eyes seemed disappointed. "I-I''m sorry..." She lowered her head. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Nah, It''s okay little cat. I assumed something about me bothers you, right?" Koneko raised her head and nervously asked, "A-Are you also Nekoshou like me?" ... "Pfft..." "HAHAHA~!" Huo Yuhao was amused because Koneko seemed to mistake War Beast''s scent for Nekoshou. And War Beast''s base was the Great White Tiger, which technically was arge cat. He couldn''t me her for not recognizing a superior race here. ''Should I scare her a little?'' He thought while using 10% of War Beast''s mode, making silverish-white furs grow on his skin. A pair of beastly eyes stared at Koneko. She yelped in shock and gnashed her teeth because the imagery of a massive white tiger abruptly appeared before her. There are also several powerful creatures, like a snake-tailed ck turtle and a fiery bird. Huo Yuhao watched cat ears grow on top of Koneko''s white head, and two cat tails came out from her skirt, revealing her cotton cat-marked panty. This transformation "simply." was triggered because of his War Beast''s aura. ''Cute~!'' Tian Meng squealed upon seeing the new Koneko. ''Hmph!'' Bing Di haughtily swayed her head when looking at Tian Meng''s reaction. Eluxia noticed the Ice Emperor''s response and teased, ''Aww~! Someone is jealous.'' ''W-Who is JEALOUS!'' The green-haired beast yelled and crossed her arms to show dominance. Still, no matter how Eluxia sees it, Bing Di is an adorable girl who throws her appealing tantrum. Tian Meng overheard their conversation and felt heart-warmed because Bing Di cared about her attention. The Ice Emperor is a soft-hearted creature with extreme pride and jealousy, which makes her much cuter than usual. ''BING BING~!!'' She hugged Bing Di tightly. Koneko shivered and asked, "A-Are you going to hurt me, N-Nyaa?" "Oh?" Huo Yuhao was surprised because Koneko used "Nyaa." at the beginning of her question. Yet, he chuckled as his small prank went too far. He made Koneko enter Flight or Fight mode when activating 10% of his War Beast''s form. It''s simply too much for the young Nekoshou like Koneko, whose experience in Beast Race is abysmally low. She couldn''t even use her animalistic potential to a decent level because of her trauma when knowing her older sister went mad. "No, I won''t hurt you." He shook his head and patted Koneko''s head gently. "Sorry for scaring you." "However..." "Koneko-Chan." "Don''t you think you''re too weak?" "How did you..." Koneko''s eyes widened in awe because she had never told her name once. Huo Yuhao removed the sses and dropped another bomb of a shock on the poor cat girl. "D-Dragon God." She couldn''t handle the truth and passed out immediately. "What have you done to my sister, NYAA~!!" A furious shout appeared and approached Huo Yuhao. He moved his gaze to the right and saw a fuming ck-haired cat girl ready to fight him. He recognized the girl and smiled wryly because the small prank had developed into a moreplicated state. [Name: Kuroka] [Age: 19 years old] [Race: Nekoshou, Reincarnated Devil] [Level: Ultimate-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Level 85/Spirit Douluo] Kuroka is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long ck hair with split bangs, and hazel-gold eyes with cat-like pupils. Her attire consists of a ck kimono, a yellow sash, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband. The kimono features a red interior and is somewhat loose at her shoulders, giving a view of her big breasts, which are slightly inferior to Qianye Ying''er. "GET AWAY FROM HER!!" She rushed toward Huo Yuhao and cast a purple magic circle tounch a powerful magic. A series of fiery ck wheels flew in the air and chased over Huo Yuhao''s head. "Not bad. Is this what Nekoshou is capable of?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head a few times and dodged them with ease. Kuroka frowned and covered her body with Ki,unching a roundhouse kick at him. Huo Yuhao was still in 10% of War Beast''s Form and decided to test something. He gently ced Koneko inside a barrier made of Primordial Rune and countered Kuroka''s kick with a p. Their strengths are equal at first nce, but he was holding his strength back. BAM! Huo Yuhao grabbed Kuroka''s slender leg and mmed her onto the ground, creating a massive crack. And with a technique called Touki, Kuroko was unharmed despite having some dizziness. "Muddy Hands..." She used Senjutsu to manipte the nature around them and trapped Huo Yuhao with mud. As the ground drenched into a muddy-like texture and sealed Huo Yuhao''s legs, she released herself from his grasp. "Who are you?" "What have you done to my Shirone, Nyaa?!" Her tone was indifferent. Huo Yuhao casually walked off the muddy trap and replied, "Well, believe me, or not. I honestly just pranked you, little sister." "Like this." His blue eyes were more animal-like, and the beastly aura grew wilder than before. BOOM! The pressure of Divine Beast covered the park, which left Kuroka silent inside because her knees became jelly-like all of a sudden. All her strength also left her body, and that was out of instinct. "Ah..." "Beast God... My mother said it was a myth." Kuroka looked at Huo Yuhao and watched his blue hair be white. His above-average body also grew more dominant withpact muscle, making him like a humanoid beast. Huo Yuhao clenched his hand a few times because War Beast''s form had be more powerful. After absorbing some blood, his overall strength has reached a new height. He looked down on Kuroka, sweating puddles or maybe not sweat, and sighed inside. Surprisingly, Kuroka stood up with shaky hands and legs, walking to protect Koneko. She fought her instinct back with a desire and will to save her younger sister. "I won''t move..." She crossed her arms solemnly and prepared to die till herst breath. Huo Yuhao scratched his cheek while deactivating War Beast''s form and said, "What a surprise. You actually fought back Nekoshou''s instinct with sheer will alone? Your aptitudes and potential to be stronger are higher than your younger sister''s." "Is it because you''re older?" "No, you just want to protect her." He smiled in amusement because Kuroka would be a fine piece to improve this worldter. Her origin as a yokai will be helpful, considering there are two factions of yokai in japan now. "Hehehe~, I think Dragon Nest needs a house cat." "N-Nyaa?" Kuroka shivered when seeing Huo Yuhao''s evil smirk. ... ... At the same time, Narita Airport. "Ugh, I should have used the Teleportation Rune." A young woman with long purple hair and red eyes stepped outside the airport. She wore ck jeans and an oversized purple shirt tucked into the pants. And ck sunsses that cover her eyes from sunlight. "What a bright idea, Giana..." She nced at her watch. After awakening her lineage as a progenitor vampire, the young woman prefers darkness more now. The sun didn''t affect her in any shape or form, but the shadow of the night was just better. Giana pouted and responded, "Eh, but you''re the one who told me to choose a way to reach Japan?? Didn''t you say you wanted to surprise the Master by secretly taking flight? Teacher Scathach is horrible, Hmph~!" "Don''t act cute..." Scathach rolled her eyes. "Fine, it''s my fault." "Hmm?" The God yer nced at the quiet part of the airport and saw some ck metal boxes carried by so many people. She could feel weak holy energye from them, which left her confused for a moment. She pondered and said, "Giana, do me a favor and track those metal boxes'' locationter." "Do you want to share this information with others too?" Giana returned while using Iofi as a temporary core memory. "Sure," Scathach answered casually. She moved her gaze back to the asphalt road and clicked her tongue in annoyance because she didn''t have transportation to Kuoh City. "Aih... Come here, Selia." An invisible creature resembling a massive purplish-skinned bat appeared out of nowhere andnded before Scathach. "Bring me to Kuoh City." She patted the familiar''s head gently. The bat nodded and let Sctahach ride her back. "Let''s go, girl. I need my Yuhaonium." Chapter 95: Learning and Inventing new things Chapter 95: Learning and Inventing new things --- Chapter 95 --- A few hours after Huo Yuhao picked cats from the park, he yed around with them on the terrace. Since they are in their cats'' forms, he doesn''t have to worry about getting caught red-handed by someone. They are just adorable creatures, that''s it. Yep, Definitely. Well, Kuroka and Koneko look somewhat scared of him. "I won''t hurt you guys." Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat. Kuroka, in her cat form, nervously looked at Huo Yuhao and replied, "B-But you caught us, Nyaa..." "U-Un." Koneko nodded her head a little, hiding behind Kuroka. Despite her awkward rtionship with her older sister, she couldn''t help but rely on Kuroka''s protection. And even knowing the older Nekoshou wouldn''t be able to do anything before Huo Yuhao. "That''s true. Only for a few days, though." He returned to them. "I bring you two here to experiment on something." And upon hearing Huo Yuhao''sments, Nekoshou''s sisters started to tremble in fear because of the word "experiment." which struck anxiety in their hearts, especially Koneko. Of course, Huo Yuhao realized his identally specific phrasingte and facepalmed himself. "My bad..." He sighed while patting the cats with a soothing aura from Wood Fairy''s innate ability. He watched their ears and tails slowly drop down infort. "Let me rephrase my lines." "I bring you two here to learn more about Senjutsu and Youjutsu. Oh yeah, also their branches of usage like Touki." Kuroka calmed down and asked, "Are you also a Yokai?" "Nope." Huo Yuhao answered with a light chuckle, which left the ck cat quiet for a moment. "Regardless, don''t worry. It''s not hard for me to discover a way to learn it. Just give me a few drops of your blood." "Swear." The ck cat stared at Huo Yuhao solemnly. "Hmm??" He was confused by her sudden request. "Swear that you won''t hurt Shirone first." Her hazel-gold eyes shone with a resolution, which caused Koneko to be stunned. Koneko looked at her older sister and touched her traumatized spot because she pushed herself this far to protect her. And this is definitely not something Stray Devil, who bes power-hungry after killing her master, could do. ''Onee...'' The white cat looked down and found Kuroka''s legs shivering while making this deal. Unknown to Koneko, she started crying when learning that her older sister protected her from evil people years ago when they ran from Naberius Laboratory. ''Kuroka-nee doesn''t discard me. She put herself in danger to save me from other devils'' hands.'' Koneko isn''t dumb. It wasn''t difficult for her to put the pieces together, but she was too afraid to admit her past. Huo Yuhao smiled and responded, "I won''t hurt her, I promise." Kuroka stepped forward and offered her hand to let Huo Yuhao absorb the Nekoshou Blood. He shook his head and transformed his left hand into War Beast''s form, gently sticking his sharp finger into Kuroka''s small cat leg. She hissed for a moment and suddenly moaned, "MMhn~! NYAA!!" "T-This feeling, so good~!" A joyful purr came from Kuroka''s mouth, which left Huo Yuhao speechless inside because the suction force shouldn''t make her feel anything. Is this Kuroka''s coping mechanism to prevent her from getting nervous? It Sounded lewd for some reason. [You have obtained Nekoshou Bloodline] [Name: Nekoshou''s Bloodline] [Type: Yokai''s Blood] [Grade: SS] [Description: Nekoshou is a special Nekomata or Cat Yokai, they only had female members and bred other races, usually conducted with male humans or other more powerful races. Nekoshou have a high talent in Spiritual Energy, Nature Energy, and Supranatural Techniques such as Senjutsu and Youjutsu] [Ding! Nekoshou''s Bloodline is 100%patible with Great White Tiger''s race] [Do you want to absorb all positive traits?] "Hmm, is there a negative trait?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but question his system, leaving the ck cat lyingzily on the floor with a blissful look. [Nekoshou has an uncontroble urge to Mate with strong partners. Even though Great White Tiger will absorb it just fine, your libido potentially grows beyond your sanity and control] Evo answered with a dull tone. [Unless you wanted to be a Wild Animal who couldn''t think straight all of the time, I advised you only absorb Nekoshou''s positive traits] Huo Yuhao was speechless and muttered, "Ugh... I don''t want to be horny all the time." [You have absorbed Nekoshou''s Bloodline] A weird twinkle spread all over Huo Yuhao''s body, and adorable tiger-like ears appeared on top of his head. It was a pair of white-furred ears with a ck-striped pattern. Three tails with a simr stripe alsoe from his upper butt, swinging around yfully. "Nyaa?" Kuroka and Koneko''s eyes widened when seeing this. They could feel an overwhelming Natural Energy from Huo Yuhao''s body, wondering how he could achieve this. Huo Yuhao brushed over his new ears and asked, "What do you think?" "Y-You look handsome, I mean adorable, I mean handsome... Ugh, it''s confusing." Kuroka released a frustrated noise while walking around Huo Yuhao with a curious gaze. Koneko doesn''t know why, but she agrees with her sister''s statement. Nekoshou''s sister looked at Huo Yuhao''s eyes and noticed his royal blue eyes had gained a gold hue, simr to theirs. "Is that so?" Heughed while patting them again. "Then, let''s start the test. I want to learn all kinds of abilities rted to Nekoshou. Can you teach me?" "I''llpensate you twoter." "Okay, Nyaa~!!" Kuroka and Koneko stared at each other and nodded simultaneously. Even though Huo Yuhao hasn''t tried to tame them, he indirectly has gained favorable impressions. Of course, the sisters still need time to ept their situations. Huo Yuhao created a time chamber with Primordial Runes and expanded the room to amodate the training. He wants to experiment with many things, including a quick yet synergized way tobine Senjutsu and Youjutsu with his overall arsenal. Since he has watched quite a lot of anime and possesses enough experience in energy maniption, he might be able to recreate some techniques. There is also Eluxia, who could give me insightter. "Um, before we start, I had to notify Rias Buchou first. So she doesn''t have to worry about me." Koneko suddenly said, which caused the older Nekoshou to frown inside. Even though Kuroka has a contract with Sirzechs Lucifer to let Koneko live peacefully, she still doesn''t trust the redhead devil because the condition of the Underworld is so corrupt. Not to mention she actually was still considered an SS-Ranked Criminal there. ''The contract is not working very well. What could guarantee me that Shirone wouldn''t be caught in this kind of situation again?'' The ck cat thought while looking at Huo Yuhao. A brilliant idea shed in her mind because Blue-Eyed Dragon God is one of the strongest beings in this world. "Nyahahahaha~!" Kuroka mischievously giggled. Huo Yuhao ignored Kuroka and stared at the small white cat, "Oh, about that. I have already informed your peerage about this meeting through Murong Qianxue." "Eh, but doesn''t she..." Koneko remembered the cold-looking woman. "She won''t kill them, right?" Looking at Koneko''s worried expression, Huo Yuhao assures the white cat with a promise that the Ice Demoness wouldn''t kill anyone without his permission. "Even though Murong Qianxue appears cold, she''s gentle inside. And she never fights my order." He said, which caused Koneko to sigh in relief. "Anyway, let''s start." Time Chamber''s Array is a technique that only Scathach and Huo Yuhao could perform because no one else has enough mastery over Primordial Runes to create such a thing. It separates a marked dimension like Mirror Dimension but also alters the time flow to be slower than real-time. With trial and error for the past six years, Huo Yuhao can only create a small room with a 1:24 time dtion, meaning one day inside equals one hour outside. It''s also energy-consuming, and he couldn''t maintain it for more than a week. Well, he has a cheat to maintain it forever. [You have applied Power of Infinity on Time Chamber Array] Evo notified with a monotonous voice. [You have created a small pocket dimension] --- 7 Days Later --- Two extremely sweaty cat girls rested on the floor with exhausted looks. They had been through hell and experienced so many bizarre things in just a week. And from time to time, they even questioned their sanity. First of all, Huo Yuhao is aplete monster. Even though Kuroka could be considered a rare genius and developed her mastery over Senjutsu, Touki, Youjutsu, and Magic at a young age, she still couldn''t bepared to Huo Yuhao. This guy absorbed everything like a sponge and developed a new system of Youjutsu. He also created an efficient way to use Senjutsu and Touki, applying them to his surroundings and himself. No, in the first ce, the Magic System in the High School DxD''s world is always looser than another universe. Even a dumb person could be a powerhouse with enough innate talent and imagination. And Devils with strong Demonic Power and creativity are wasting their potential on trivial things like n''s ability. Of course, there are a bunch of magic types in this world, but Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but discover many loopholes. As far as Huo Yuhao has seen, only Ajuka Beelzebub, Serafall Leviathan, Grayfia Lucifuge, and Sirzech Lucifer met the criteria to be a genuine magician from the devil''s side. How disappointing, and that''s because the Original Satan manipted their Demonic Energy more roughly than them. Like Eluxiamented when seeing Raynare manipting her Light Elements and Holy Energy. "They are too crude." [Solomon''s Blessing was in effect] [You have formed 1st ss Magic Circle] [1st ss Magic Circle has advanced to 2nd ss] [...] [...] [...] [You have reached 6th ss Magic Circle] Huo Yuhao breathed in and let a bright white magic circle with unknown characters surround his Blood Core, which was the source of his demonic energy. "How strong..." Kuroka solemnlymented while feeling an immense aura from Huo Yuhao''s body. Unlike other Devils, his demonic energy is oddly warm and gentler. "I could reach a higher stage, but that would be a waste of time. The 6th ss Magic Circle is enough to strengthen any magic I invented to Satan ss Level." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. He yawned and added, "Well, Next." An enormous amount of Natural Energy entered Huo Yuhao''s body and circted through his bloodstream. He breathed out and meditated in the lotus position until the nature traits merged with his Spirit Energy, turning him into a Sage. Beast Sage, to be exact. "Hmm, not bad." Huo Yuhao''s silky blue hair bes mostly white but different from his War Beast''s form. There is a shade of red on his hair. [You have mastered Senjutsu and Touki] [You have attained Chaotic Beast Sage Mode] "Amazing..." Koneko mumbled while clenching her small hands because she wanted strength like this. With this fearsome force, she doesn''t have to worry about getting protected by her loved ones. She could stand in the world proudly without fear. Huo Yuhao flicked Koneko''s forehead and made her whimper in pain for a second. "ept your origin and train everything you had to a significant level. When you reach it, I''ll teach you how to aplish this form." He said with a smile. "R-Really, Nyaa?" A strong glimmer of hope appeared in Koneko''s gold cat eyes. He patted her and replied, "Yeah." "Now let''s get out of this ce first-!" BOOM! "HUO... YUHAO~!!!" An excited female shoutes from a hole. The Time Chamber Array "abruptly." was destroyed by the owner of this voice, and Huo Yuhaoughed weakly because only one person could do this so effortlessly. Kuroka covered her face with her kimono''s sleeve and saw a beautiful young woman with long purple hair, red eyes, and a chest slightly more voluptuous than hers casually stepping into the room. "Who?" She whispered out of surprise. "What a warm greeting... Wee back, Shishou." Huo Yuhao smiled at Scathach. Scathach giggled and immediately hugged Huo Yuhao, taking over his pale lips. And her slick tongue probed him wildly. She single-handedly made several girls and women jealous on the spot. "Ahh... It''s the best~!" She breathed heavily near Huo Yuhao''s ears. "Fresh Yuhaonium." Koneko blushed and covered her young eyes with her hands, which was a useless attempt because she peeked into the scenery through the gaps of her fingers anyway. "What a perverted thing to do..." She said to herself. "I-I wonder how it feels." Chapter 96: Scathachs Wishes (1/2) Chapter 96: Scathach''s Wishes (1/2) --- Chapter 96 --- "What''s this smell..." "Dirt?" A blue-haired young man stood with a weak smile on the vastnd filled with holes after horrendous destruction. His nose twitched because of the dusky smell of dirt flying everywhere. "Blood..." He nced down at his chest and saw some stab marks. Even though he had already regenerated, some blood spots were still fresh on his clothes. "Don''t tell me you''re tired already, my dear student~?" A bold provoking question echoed from afar. A young woman with silky purple hair and red eyes stepped onto a half-destroyed rock. She had a crimson-barbed spear in her right hand, shining with gleaming extreme bloodlust. Thend. No, the whole battlefield was "directly." enveloped by the young woman''s bloodlust alone, and no one could stop her from doing so. The legendary god yer is a woman warrior who has yed countless divine spirits because of her boredom and desire to die. "Haha..." Huo Yuhaoughed dryly at Scathach. "We have been fighting for the whole month, Shishou." "Don''t you think it''s the right time to stop and rest?" "Save your sweet words forter, Yuhao." She shed toward the young man. Huo Yuhao sighed and used Universal Breathing Technique for the 1078th time. His Spirit Circuits red with Spirit Energy and repelled a flurry of Scathach''s spear thrust. "Very well, since you want it that way." He raised his senses to greater heights and watched the scenery around him with a wary look. "Prating Fist." He clenched his hand a little and punched the seeming shadow behind him. A loud series of echoes appeared, followed by a loud bang noise. BAM! CLANK! Scathach coated her Gae Bolg with Armament Haki and countered by rotating her spear upward, twisting her whole body like a slithering snake to gain more momentum. She stomped the ground and made the area hard to travel for a moment. "Halve." A half-moon swing was performed, creating a shady crimson energy st. Usually, this attack was enough to demolish anyone under Title Douluo Realm, but Scathach took another step and added her Conqueror''s Haki. Huo Yuhao swiftly grabbed over thin air and dragged out Ste from his inventory, coating the Star Quaking Saber with Armament and Conqueror Haki. CLANK! BOOM! Their weapons don''t even touch each other but somehow have a small gap in between that sh fiercely. A crimson light filled with bloodlust and a royal blue aura with sovereignty fought in the area, causing white lighting to spark left and right. ''Damn, monsters...'' Tian Mengmented while hugging her knees. Bing Di bit her finger and pondered about something when seeing the sh because this wasn''t just a sh between Spiritual Power but also intent. Only one with a stronger will could win and reign over the other. ''I know Scathach was a monster, but to think she could reach this level herself is amazing.'' Eluxia''s eyes shed with a realization. Even though Huo Yuhao''s talent was something else, the purple-haireddy also cannot be underestimated. Scathach frowned and asked, "You created another weapon? Quite a fancy saber you have there." "I could sense that you have yed some lives with it." Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "You can say it like that." nk! He pushed Gae Bolg away andunched a kick at Scathach, causing her to dodge. He pulled Ste off the sheath and shed the space around them. "Oh?" The warrior queen''s eyes shone with amazement. "Blood Field." As Huo Yuhao''s saber was about to reach Scathach, a field of viscous red blood manifested from Scathach''s body and stretched to a few hundred meters. And Her usual red eyes now have a thick ck iris. Huo Yuhao noticed this and triggered Chaotic Beast Sage Mode to match Scathach''s transformation. "Pagma''s Sword Dance." He kicked the ground and swung the saber at her. "Kill." "Where did you learn this..." Scathach frowned because a portion of her blood field disappeared. She lifted Gae Bolg and faced an enormous shing force. BOOM! Huo Yuhao appeared before her and added, "Wave." Scathach''s eyes widened a little because Huo Yuhao''s movement became unknown for some reason, which meant this was apletely new sword technique he hadn''t shown her even once. And She couldn''t help but add her strength to grip Gae Bolg more and grinned as her immortal vampiric blood was boiling in excitement. "HAHAHA~! That new form! That new sword technique!" "YESH~!!" "SHOW ME MORE, YUHAO~!!!" Her maniacalughter echoed in the pocket dimension. She wanted to die in this new life properly, and only Huo Yuhao could grant it. The fierce sh of Conqueror''s Haki exploded, and Scathach became wilder in her approach. She summoned Soul Breaking Spear and sprinted with a feral grin. "HAHAHAHAHA~!!" On the battlefield, cracks rapidly were created one after another because of Scathach''s steps, and that''s just how strong she was. Even though the Pocket Dimension could hold up to 1st ss Wild God''s strength, she could make it crumble with physical strength alone. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Huo Yuhao dodged and countered Scathach while using the Universal Breathing Technique to expand his senses further. A white demonic mask covered his face, and the reddish-ck mark spread over his neck and hair. "MORE~!" Scathach also used Universal Breathing Technique to the peakyer, creating a white mask with a half-grinning pattern. Huo Yuhao locked Scathach''s arms between Ste''s sheath and his left arm. "Shishou, Don''t make me excited... You know it wouldn''t be good for both of us." "You''re going to make me... Lost control." "YEAH, LIKE THAT. BE WILD AND KILL ME~." Scathach bit her lips under the mask. "KILL AND CONQUER ME, MY STUDENT~!" Her bloodlust red with a hungry-filled sensual cry. Huo Yuhao mmed her onto the ground and cursed, "Fuck it." "Chaos God yer Magic." A white magic circle appeared behind Huo Yuhao, skillfully engraved with over 100plicated magic forms from an unknownnguage to Scathach. Its thick magical energy pressured the area with natural gravity, ten times heavier than usual. Scathach kicked Huo Yuhao''s hand and waved her Soul Breaking Spear to summon a massive spear avatar in the sky. She stepped back and observed the magic circle solemnly. "Chaos God yer Magic: Gravity Fall." ''Prepare for loud explosion noises.'' Tian Meng sighed and closed her ears when seeing the white magic circle. It''s hard to believe something thisplex and powerful "personally." was invented in seven days. Even though Huo Yuhao deemed the 7th ss Magic Circle to be a waste of time to develop, it would rival 200.000 years old in the potency of producing skills. ''As expected of him.'' Eluxia closed her eyes. ''Right, Helena? Your papa is awesome~.'' "Take this, Shishou." Huo Yuhao punched the magic circle andunched a wave of destruction that poured out like silverish dust. BOOM! Scathach''s massive spear manifestation met with Huo Yuhao''s Chaos God yer Magic and distorted into pieces upon touch, which left her shocked for a moment. She watched the silverish dust swarm the battlefield and erase giant rocks clean to the ground. "Such a high-pressured wave... Normal humans would get their bodies twisted into dust, but not me." She picked her Gae Bolg and was ready to throw it. "Blood Shadow Spear Domain." The once field of blood bes ck like a shadow and bursts out with millions of Gae Bolg Alternatives. Scathach''s domain was her intent to kill and die, which everything she had gone through manifested through her trusted spear, Gae Bolg. "Barbed Spear that Pierce with Death." "Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death." "Seal the mother earth and nine heavens in crimson fears..." That silent whisper escaped Scathach''s mouth. She locked her eyes on Huo Yuhao and threw her spear to destroy him. Huo Yuhao smiled because the sky suddenly released crimson rains, but if you look closely, each raindrop is Gae Bolg''s Alternative. And the ground exploded with countless red-barbed spears. Each spear is enchanted with her Conqueror and Armament Haki, making this field nothing but her intent to kill. It''s such a dreadful skill Scathach created to ughter as many Divine Entities as possible. "She has be stronger again. I didn''t check Shishou''s strength personally when closing my training in Advalon, but she honestly surprised me." He stepped forward and watched the crimson spikes of earth and raindrops approach to aim his life. ''How beautiful.'' Bing Di covered her mouth. She witnessed the young man standing before crimson rain and neverending spikes, fearlessly grinning like this was his goal. He''s a small creature, but his bravery transcends the world. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and whispered, "Shishou, good job." "However, I''ll end this now." He caught the red sh, which was Scathach''s thrown Gae Bolg, and crushed it into pieces. It all began in water. It all returns to the water. In other words, water is life and yet death. The mother that bears us and a devouring serpent All things are in flux, and not even time can go against the current Like a boat tossed about on a great river, in the end, it too is merely devoured. Ahh, cruel uncertain providence. But that cruelty and uncertainty have already been forgotten. The face of their most beloved mother I will be a serpent, open my mouth, and devour billions ofnds. An eternal void, never filling. An eternal pleasure, never satiated. You must change all things and return to my mouth. Huo Yuhao clenched his hand and punched the ground, "Ouroboros." CRACK! BOOOOOOOM!! An enormous geyser exploded from the ground and swallowed everything on the battlefield, leveling everything into a seemingly endless body of water. "Ahh... Great." Scathach looked at her attack getting destroyed. "This force... Every water on the battlefield was basically a magic spell." She floated from the ground andughed because Huo Yuhao''s attack defied logic. It doesn''t cancel but levels everything down with it, and even the crimson raindrops were deemed useless before it. Huo Yuhao stood on the Magic Spell and said, "Here I go, Shishou." "Come, Yuhao!" Scathach weed while drawing the real Gae Bolg. CLANK! BOOM! Scathach thrust her spear relentlessly and chipped Huo Yuhao''s flesh slowly but surely. However, this also applies to her as Huo Yuhao shed her body at a closer pace. Shockwaves urred, destroying the pocket dimension''s wall. BAM! BAM! Huo Yuhao''s fist and Scathach''s kick made contact, pushing each other away. They breathed heavily and rushed forward with even more force to defeat others. "Death Pierce." "Chaos God yer Magic: Heaven''s Columb." STABS! Scathach stabbed Huo Yuhao''s chest and smiled while having a big hole in her chest. A faint yet strong electricity burned her flesh and prevented the god yer from regenerating for a moment. Her dear student''s hand literally reached her beating heart. "You win..." She whispered while looking into Huo Yuhao''s eyes. "Now, Kill me." "Very well, Shishou." Huo Yuhao brought Scathach into his warm embrace and kissed her lips. And just like that, the god yer died for the first time after reincarnating to Huo Yuhao''s side. And Tears ran from her eyes as if salvation fell to her. ... ... Scathach''s cold body released bloody color and slowly regenerated back to normal with new internal organs. And Being a Progenitor Vampire is a cheat. Her eyes opened with a low breath of satisfaction. "How was it, death?" Huo Yuhao parted her lips. She pouted and replied, "It''sforting... And quiet." "But boring." "You have taken my first life, Yuhao." "Now..." "Y-You have to take my virginity too." Scathach blushed while burying her face in his chest. Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "Hahaha, Let''s go." "To the bed." Chapter 97: Scathachs Wishes (2/2) Chapter 97: Scathach''s Wishes (2/2) --- Chapter 97 --- After the devastating fight between Huo Yuhao and Scathach, the pocket dimension''s wall crumbled into dust and exposed them to the world. The God yer was half-naked with a hole in her armor''s chest area that boldly showed a valley between two mountains. Huo Yuhao was no good either because he only had tattered pants after fighting Scathach. Of course, none received life-threatening injuries as the healing factors kept them alive. The purple head had her regeneration from immortality and progenitor vampire''s parks, while Huo Yuhao had countless healing factors from his races. Even though Huo Yuhao isn''t immortal, he is no different than one. "Aih... At least we don''t destroy a small continent like before." Huo Yuhao chuckled while looking at the half-destroyed pocket dimension. He had to cancel Ouroboros''s Magic Spell, or the outside area would get flooded with destruction. He was carrying his teacher like a princess and made herugh. "It''s not that bad considering none of us released our seals. The destruction is pretty tamepared to years ago." Scathachmented while resting her head on his chest. Well, the Pocket Dimension isn''t supposed to get used as a battleground. "We also don''t use our Hundreds." Hearing that, Huo Yuhao sighed inside because Eas''s firepower had massively advanced when reaching Level 100. Who would have thought the Dragoon Cannon''s st could get to the goddamn Venus and scrape 1/20 of it to nothingness? "Hundred, huh? I''ve not seen yours yet, Shishou." He suddenlymented. Hundreds are armor equipped with the god-ying weapon Dragon Nest created to conquer this world but looking at the situation. They don''t need to use it. Scathach smiled and answered, "My Hundred is quite... Special? It''s Chevalier-Type, but it consumed my blood to function properly." Huo Yuhao frowned and couldn''t help but ask, "You didn''t form a soul connection with it?" "I did." She shook her head. "When I was in Scond, I connected my soul with the Gate of Skye again." "It took me a while, but for an oddly specific reason. I had to link the Hundred with my blood first." Scathach huffed because Huo Yuhao seemed to change the topic and pouted, "It''s a mundane thing to discuss... Just take my virginity already. "Sure, sure." Huo Yuhao walked out of the pocket dimension and sensed several people were waiting for them. Considering they have been fighting inside for a month, it''s around one day and six hours outside. "A-Are you okay, Nyaa?" Kuroka asked because the unknown woman suddenly dragged Huo Yuhao away from them. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "I''m fine. You can rest assured and return to your faction first, Kuroka." "You too, Koneko-Chan." "EEhhhhh...." Kuroka was speechless. The Nekoshou Sisters felt conflicted because they had formed a special rtionship with Huo Yuhao. Even though they only stayed together for a week, Kuroka and Koneko were d he fixed their rtionship. Not to mention, He also trained and fed them delicious food every day. It''s hard for them to admit it, but the cat girls have gotten tamed by Huo Yuhao. The ck cat''s tail waved around as she thought, ''I had my mind a few days ago to make Huo Yuhao fall in love with me. Nekoshou will get revived with his seed.'' Meanwhile, Koneko was sad because she couldn''t eat Huo Yuhao''s delicious cake. She looked down and mumbled a few quiet words rted to him. Scathach nced at them and smirked because her student sure caught good pets. "I wonder how your mother reacts to this. Have they be your ve?" She asked, which made Kuroka frown. "We are not ves, Nyaa!" Kurokained with her usual catness. "Mm." Koneko agreed with her sister. "We are tamed." "What?" Huo Yuhao looked at the white-haired cat girl with a confused look. Did she seriously say that? Scathach giggled andmented, "Being tamed is no different than being enved. Well, you''re lucky." "Let''s go, Yuhao~!" "If you need help, you can call meter." Huo Yuhao shook his head and walked past the Nekoshou Sisters, making them feel conflicted inside. Koneko fumbled with her little fingers and remembered the scene when Scathach kissed Huo Yuhao. She blushed and looked at his gentle yet firm back. "I Won''t Give Up, NYAAA~!!!" Kuroka shouted while puffing her cheeks. The White Cat nervously looked at her older sister and asked, "Nee... Nekoshou n needs so many babies, right?" "Then, I should contribute too..." Kuroka''s hazel-gold eyes widened and denied, "No! You''re too young to carry a baby. Onee-chan won''t agree with this." "But..." Koneko used her hopeful look to convince Kuroka. "No means No, Nyaa!" She reprimanded, which made Koneko''s desire for the deed even bigger. "Hmph, go back to your peerage first." "They should be worried about your condition. And remember, no babies until 18!" Kuroka sighed and created a magic circle to teleport back to Khaos Brigade because she hadn''t notified the members of her teams about her disappearance. Koneko watched Kuroka disappear with her purple magic circle and whispered, "Age is just a number..." "Exactly~!" Someone suddenly gripped Koneko''s shoulders. Qianye Ying''er had a sunny smile and offered, "Koneko-Chan. Do you have time to hear about our lord and savior, Huo Yuhao?" "U-Um, sure," Koneko replied because she didn''t know anything about Huo Yuhao apart from his history. Listening to Qianye Ying''er about him should be fine, no? Like a gentle saint, Qianye Ying''er pulled Koneko''s hand and brought her to the den of corruption. On the corner of Dragon Nest''s Compound, a group of beautifuldies is praying inside a building to a photo of half-naked Huo Yuhao. "Oh, Lord..." Asia cried like she had a divine revtion. Qianye Ying''er stepped inside the room with Koneko and said, "Everyone, we got a new lostmb here." "Wee her." "Wee to Huo Yuhao''s Religion~!" A series of greetings echoed in the room, which left Koneko surprised. Koneko shivered out of instinct and tried to find an excuse, "I-I think... I should go to my peerage first." Qianye Ying''er blocked the entrance with a smirk and said, "Wee to the lord''s religion, Ko¡­ ne¡­ ko-Chan~!" "N-Nyaa..." A terrified whimperes from the white cat. ... ... Inside the private house, Huo Yuhao stopped in front of the bedroom and said with confusion, "I felt a disturbance in the force..." "It''s just Ying''er." Scathach rolled her eyes because that golden-haired girl converted any worth-taking female to her cult''s followers. They looked at each other and began tough because there was no way Qianye Ying''er would stop from doing so. As long as no one was hurt, Huo Yuhao won''t stop her either. Huo Yuhao and Scathach are bathing together, talking about their progress in the past week. Even though he wasn''t a virgin anymore, he felt nervous about taking his teacher''s virginity. She''s such a beautiful person inside and out, but something about her was unique. ''What am I even thinking?'' He submerged his head in the bathtub. Scathach sat on the edge with a towel around her body and asked, "Hey, Yuhao. Do you love me?" Huo Yuhao pulled his head out of the water and replied, "Of course." Looking at Huo Yuhao''s firm look, Scathach smiled and kissed his lips gently. It was a sweet, gentle, warm, andforting sensation. "Aah..." "So sweet." Huo Yuhao looked at Scathach''s red eyes. She stepped into the bathtub and started to stroke the dangling rod between Huo Yuhao''s legs. "S-So big..." She mumbled in disbelief. "Hnn~!" "Hey, not fair- AAHN~!" Huo Yuhao opened Scathach''s towel, ying around with her are and making her nipple poke out slowly. She hissed in pleasure and hastened her hand movement to make him erect. "Mmm~." Scathach teased Huo Yuhao''s erect dick with her bare ass, brushing the little tyrant with her ample skin. He bit into her nipple gently and made her eyes widen in shock. "Yesh~!" She hit a brief orgasm and breathed heavily. Huo Yuhao brought Scathach''s face closer and kissed her before she could regain herposure. His finger probed herher region yfully. "Y-You..." Scathach''s body trembled in pleasure because of the build-up Huo Yuhao had done so far. Her nipple and pussy are so sensitive, and one intense rub would make her cum. "Shishou, cum~!" Huo Yuhao teased while grazing her pussy entrance. "MMHH~!!" She was shocked. How could this feel so good? "Bad student..." "This teacher shall punish you." ... Huo Yuhao blinked and felt someone throw him onto the bed, a smooth handnding on his chest. He looked down and saw Scathach licking his balls gently. "Do you want me to suck this?" Her tongue licked the shaft. "Say please, and I''ll do it~." "Come on, my beloved student~." Huo Yuhao is a shameless boy. He opened his mouth and fearlessly said, "Shishou, please suck my massive dick." "Very well." Scathach''s thighs locked on Huo Yuhao''s face and her mouth licked the tip of his dick. Her sweet and bold scent invaded Huo Yuhao''s nostrils, causing him to breathe slightly heavier. Her toned thighs were soft, and he was all for them. She sucked Huo Yuhao''s dick gently and fit the whole meaty rod into her mouth, but that wasn''t even enough to cover half of it. She struggled for a moment and gagged, but a legendary warrior queen had mastered her body control to the limit. ''How did he hide this thing?!'' She slowly dropped her head and felt the meaty monster filling her throat. Scathach gave Huo Yuhao a sloppy blowjob and massaged his dick with her inner muscle, treating the lower head with care. He hissed in pleasure and clenched on her ass. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao nted his face on Scathach''s pussy with her legs spreading on the bed. He licked the pink entrance, wetting the juicy lips with his saliva. And without further ado, apetition started. None of them had to talk because the first to cum would get punished. The sensation was building up, and they cum, squirting on each other. GLUK~! GLUK~! A massive load overstuffed Scathach''s mouth, but she enjoyed it more than expected. Huo Yuhao''s semen tastes sweet with a wild aftertaste. "Haa... Haa..." "You''re sopping wet here, Shishou." Scathach slowly unsheathed Huo Yuhao''s meaty spear and watched it glisten with her saliva. "Fuck! That''s so hot~!" She cursed while shivering in excitement. The moment when they hit orgasm together makes her blood boil. "Hehe." Huo Yuhao chuckled while giving her ass a nice p. PA! "Hnn~! Hey!" She turned around. He smiled and asked, "So, a tie?" Scathach raised her chin and yelled, "Who do you think am I, BOY? I''m SCATHACH, THE GOD SLAYER!" "NO TIE UNTIL THE REAL WINNER IS DECIDED!" That''s what she said. Scathach was lying on the bed and gulped upon seeing the behemoth on her virgin pussy. "B-Be gentle, okay." She said with a soft voice. "What?" Huo Yuhao swiped his hair back. "Did you say something, Shishou?" Under the light, or maybe because Scathach was too horny, but she swore her student seemed more handsome today. His sharp jawline and facial expression be more refined, with sweat running down his lips, and everything is just different. She bit her lips and said, "Do It!" Huo Yuhao chuckled and shoved his dick into Scathach''s pussy, making her moan instantly. She felt a slight tingle of pain as her hymen "finally." was broken by him but immediately swept over by pleasures. MMHM~~! She''s over the sky. "I''ll start moving my hip, Shishou." Scathach''s pussy is tight. Even tighter than Huo Yun''er because she trained her body the most out of everyone. However, Huo Yuhao''s dick was too big, and he could see a bulge forming. "AAHN~!" "AAHH~!" Huo Yuhao moved his hips gently and heard Scathach''s moan, enjoying her virgin hole to the fullest. He could feel his dick squished by soft yet warm pillow-like flesh, wrapping it around like a case. "Shishou, you''re so tight." "Fuck!" Scathach wrapped her legs behind Huo Yuhao''s back, forcing the dick to go deeper. "FUCK, YOU''RE SO GOOD, HHNNG~!" "YUHAO!" "YUHAO!" "FUCK, YOUR TEACHER''S TIGHT CUNT!" "L-LIKE THAT! MORE~!!!" "OOH~!" Huo Yuhao kissed Scathach and rotated her body to get more leverage, grabbing her left right up. "SO GOOD ~!" Huo Yuhao fucked Scathach relentlessly and made her moan louder with each second. Not only, but her pussy also bes morefortable with each thrust. Sweats are running down their bodies. "Fuck me~! FUCK ME~!!" Scathach shivered because how could she miss this? It''s one of the best experiences after epting Huo Yuhao''s offer to have a new life. "Yes, FUCK You." Huo Yuhao bit her nape, which Scathach followed by biting her neck. And different than usual, she gives her Progenitor Blood Essence to him. [You have received Vampire Progenitor Blood Essence] They lovingly stared at each other and became wilder than before, changing position every hour. Scathach has orgasmed at least 20 times in a row and still has more than enough stamina to do this for a month. Huo Yuhao cummed inside and out of Scathach 17 times and filled her pussy to the brim. "S-Shishou~!!" He roared while pulling her thighs closer. "YUHAO~!!" She called her name while rolling her eyes. She felt so happy when having sex with him. "Haa..." "Haa..." Scathach panted while resting her head on the bed, but her ass was still up. Huo Yuhao caressed her ass and gave them a good smack, making her shiver again. He fingered her pussy to get some cum and rubbed her butthole yfully. "E-Eh, Yuhao. That hole is." Her eyes widened. "Do you want to try?" Huo Yuhao whispered like a devil. Scathach gulped in high expectation and nodded, "Take my ass." "Fuck my ass..." Without further ado, Huo Yuhao fucked Scathach''s ass with all his might and made her head swing back. "AAAAAHHHHNNN~!!" She groaned in pain and pleasure. "T-This is..." "Sho FUCKING GHOODS~!!" Scathach would never think. Yes, she would never expect doing an Anal would be this GOOD! Huo Yuhao grunted and felt his teacher bouncing on his massive dick, making him feel so much pleasure in just a few motions. He doesn''t want to lose and rock his hips back and forth, giving that virgin asshole special treatment. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, he awakened Scathach''s fetish for anal. "Uuh, KEEP GOING!" He grabbed over her chest from the back and squished them real good. Their grunts echoed in the room, but it was no different than the white noise of horny creatures. "AAHN~!" "YES!" "FUCK MY ASS!" "HAAAAAA, MY ASS SOOO HOT~!!" "YOUR DICK IS BREAKING ME FROM THE INSIDE!" "YUHAO~!!!" She shook her ass to match Huo Yuhao''s movement. PA! PA! Huo Yuhao mmed Scathach''s ass with his cock and imed every hole in her body. He felt massive sts were about toe and shouted, "SHISHOU, I''M CUMMING!" "C-CUM INSIDE." Scathach was out of breath. "PAINT MY ASS WITH YOUR CUM, YUHAO~!!!" PA! "CUMMING~!!!" "MMMNNN!!" Scathach slumped on the bed as Huo Yuhao pulled his dick off, watching the asshole gaping with a thick load of cum flowing out. "I won..." He pped her ass, making them jiggle. Hey beside her and added, "Scathach... I love you." "Me too." She replied with an exhausted look, her ass burning with pleasure. "W-Wanna do it again?" Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Everything for my beautiful Shishou." Chapter 98: Are you from Another World? Chapter 98: Are you from Another World? --- Chapter 98 --- In a messy room, Huo Yuhao awakened from afortable sleep and felt slender arms wrapping around his chest. He smiled and turned around, finding Scathach snoring lightly. She has such a happy and satisfied expression on her beautiful face. "How long have we been doing this?" [Roughly a whole day] Evo suddenly answered. [23 hours, 34 minutes, and 45 seconds to be exact] [You have absorbed Vampire Progenitor Blood Essence] "Hmm??" Huo Yuhao immediately checked his Blood Core and was surprised to find a new spiral helix. There are five spiral helixes, Divine Dragon, War Beast, True Daemon, Genesis Seraph, and Vampire Progenitor, intertwining like a rope knot. And yes, Demi-Primordial Human blood kept them under control. "Neat, I guess?" He chuckled while thinking of Vampire Progenitor''s overall abilities. It mainly focused on Blood Maniption, but he also could summon familiars. Scathach''s breathing changes slightly, which makes Huo Yuhao chuckle because she finally woke up. He pped her rear gently and said, "Good morning, Shishou. Well, It''s evening now." "Sore..." She mumbled in a hoarse voice. "What, again?" She pouted in annoyance and pped his back, "I''m fucking SORE! You fucked my ass so badly!" Huo Yuhao gently spun around to meet Scathach''s face and caught her hands. He reached over her ears and whispered, "But you like it, don''t you?" "Shishou, you keep asking for more." "As a filial disciple, I only fulfill my beloved teacher''s wishes." Scathach blushed becausest night was so wild, and everything felt surreal. Even though the legendary warrior wasn''t new to such a thing, this new territory blew her mind. And she still felt full after Huo Yuhao drowns her in pleasure. "Hmph, I''d like to do this more often now." She suddenly demanded while kissing Huo Yuhao''s forehead. "Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded while caressing her hair. They cuddled for a few minutes and soaked in the warm bathtub to relieve their muscles after it. Nothing happened besides some light teasing, which ended with theirughter in the bathroom. Scathach wore a casual oversized blouse and looked at the skirt on her spatial ring. She nodded and picked a thin ck pantyhose to show her thighs because Huo Yuhao seemed like it that way. Huo Yuhao leaned on the door frame andmented, "You look beautiful no matter what you''re wearing, Shishou." "I-Is that so?" Scathach coughed while checking herself on the tall mirror. "Yes." ... ... Huo Yuhao stepped out of the private house and noticed a slight sting on his neck. Scathach gives him a few hickeys, which shouldn''t disappear anytime soon. ''She''s marking her territory, that monstrous woman...'' Tian Meng finally opened her mouth today. She couldn''t bring herself to say anything yesterday because her host was no different than a rabbit in heat. Eluxia giggled on the side andmented, ''Heh, Just tell Yuhao you''re jealous.'' ''You too, Bing Di.'' ''W-What! I-I don''t know what you are talking about?!'' The Ice Emperor blushed because she watched Huo Yuhao and Scathach''s actions without blinking. The necromancer smirked because everything around Huo Yuhao was so amusing to experience, and she hadn''t gotten bored so far. And It must have something to do with his natural charm. Any females Huo Yuhao encountered so far have gained a favorable impression of him, well some just idiots who couldn''t see Mount Tai. "Yuhao-sama." A silver-haired beauty in a blue-white maid outfit came to him. Yes, Grayfia looks like how she is supposed to be if Huo Yuhao doesn''t change history. Huo Yuhao nced at Grayfia and responded, "Oh, Gray-... Wait, why did you wear maid outfits?" Grayfia smiled at Huo Yuhao and said, "Since Yuhao-Sama epted me as a servant, then It should be eptable for me to wear something befitting my role, right? I also have handed my Guardian Position to someone else because serving you is more important to me." "Or is it because I look bad in this kind of clothes?" She raised her skirt and looked around, finding nothing wrong. "I''ll be honest, Grayfia... You look fantastic." Huo Yuhao stated with a solemn expression. Grayfia''s face beamed with emotion because such praise struck her directly in the heart. What kind of loyal servant wouldn''t be delighted when given such recognition by their lord? Unknown to Huo Yuhao, Grayfia checked her clothes 68 times before meeting him. She wanted to show him the best of her because the previous encounters were somewhat awkward. And tears of happiness dropped from her eyes because everything she went through today was worth it. She pumped her fist behind the back and quietly muttered, "Yes." "Oh, who''s this?" A curious-filled question echoed in the entrance and made Grayfia move her gaze there, finding a youngdy with long purple hair and bewitching red eyes. At first, the silver-haired maid couldn''t believe her instinct, but thisdy was dangerous. Extremely dangerous. ''Another monster...'' Grayfia thought to herself. Scathach could feel Grayfia''s observing gaze and said, "Not bad. Some people in this world possess quite nice eyes." Huo Yuhao sighed because he hadn''t told Scathach about the situation here. After all, the god yer was busy forming a connection with the Gate of Sky back in Scond. And her sudden appearance when he finished training with the nekoshou sisters was a surprise. "Let me introduce you to this beautifuldy, Grayfia." "She''s Scathach, my teacher and fiancee." He said while presenting Scathach to the silver-haired maid. "And Shishou, this is Grayfia Lucifuge. My newly epted serv- I mean maid." Scathach crossed her arms and nodded because Grayfia met enough conditions to be Huo Yuhao''s maid. Strength-wise, the silver head needs more training to serve him properly. "Pets and a maid, I see what you are doing here, my disciple." She gave Huo Yuhao a smug look. "I wonder what your mom thinks about this." Huo Yuhao rubbed his temple and responded, "Even though she might kill anyone who dared to be close to me with bad intentions. Mom is wise enough to agree with my decision." "And I''m sure she has seen this moment with her eyes." "If you say so." Scathach shrugged because she hadn''t found a way to defeat Huo Yun''er. That foxy woman is too strong because her abilities are "honestly." broken, manipting Qi of Luck and Doom, as well as Destiny and Fate. Even though Huo Yun''er has taboo rules where she couldn''t spout anything rted to a future event, Scathach knew very well the foxy woman could tell Huo Yuhao with some loopholes. She shook her head and added, "Anyway, I''ll stroll around the city." "Don''t do anything dirty behind my back." Huo Yuhao watched Scathach walk away with awkward legs movement and wryly smiled because they were doing it too much. He returned his gaze to Grayfia and asked, "Do you need something from me, Grayfia? Sirzechs and other satans should have sent a message to me, right?" Grayfia returned to reality and replied, "A-Ah, yes." "The satans want to have words with you, Yuhao-sama." "If you agree, I''ll contact them now." "Hmm... Sure, what about tomorrow?" He answered after thinking about it. The silver-haired maid nodded while creating a magic circle to contact someone in the underworld. After a few seconds of brief talking, she looked at Huo Yuhao and confirmed the intention of the four devil kings. "Follow me, Grayfia." Huo Yuhao whistled and walked to the nearest training hall, greeting some people on the street, with Grayfia following him in the back. She looked around meticulously and noticed that the residents were so strong too, which made her nervous. The weakest Dragon Nest member in thepound could defeat her without any problem. "Um, Yuhao-sama." The maid called for him. "Yes?" Huo Yuhao walked while looking at the evening sky. Grayfia nervously breathed out and asked, "Are you from another world?" "No matter how many ancient history books I read, I couldn''t find anything rted to you before the Great War. You appeared out of nowhere and made history yourself." "I thought about it very hard, Even when I was small till now. There is only one possible answer. You''re not from this world." She stood firmly while a gentle breeze brushed her long silver hair, but her eyes still focused on Huo Yuhao. A silence urred between them, but Huo Yuhaoughed in amusement because he underestimated Grayfia''s curiosity and intelligence. Of course, people would assume because of his unknown origin. Who wouldn''t? Such a powerful being appeared out of nowhere, after all. Huo Yuhao looked at Grayfia and answered, "Yes, I''m from another world." "And I arrived in this world to conquer it." "Is there a problem?" Grayfia was stunned when hearing Huo Yuhao''s replies and never expected her guess will be correct. She would be fine if he answered with lies, but this was shocking. Contrary to her calm look outside, the maid was startled inside. The blue-haired young man before her was an otherworldly being. And she had been fascinated by him since the tender age of 4 because her mother and father often told a story about him, The legendary Blue-Eyed Dragon God. People say he is a monster, but Grayfia only sees him as a liberating hero who stops the Great War. Even though he killed so many lives, she could roughly calcte the casualty would be much worse if the war continued, and some devil''s ns'' extinction is not beyond a stretch. Grayfia could only smile and replied, "No, Yuhao-sama. There is no problem with it." "I see..." Huo Yuhao continue to walk. [Grayfia Lucifuge''s loyalty increased] [Grayfia Lucifage has a great favorable impression of you] [Ding! You now could awake Grayfia Lucifuge''s Martial Soul] Chapter 99: Grayfias Martial Soul Chapter 99: Grayfia''s Martial Soul --- Chapter 99 --- After telling Grayfia that Huo Yuhao is actually from another world, the mood bes somewhat weird because you might think it would end awkwardly. No, the silver-haired maid is more curious now. She has been asking many questions regarding Douluo Dalu''s universe, and Huo Yuhao answers them patiently because having a secret about his homeworld is pointless with her level of curiosity. Frankly, the maid was speechless because such an eastern fantasy novel-like world actually exists outside there, which also exins Huo Yuhao''s origin. Not to mention Huo Yuhao recited many unknown terms like Spirit Power, Spirit Rank, Spirit Beast, and Spirit Master without exining deeply about them. Is he afraid she would open her mouth and tell others about this information? The answer is no, but for different reasons that Grayfia hade up with by herself. ''No, Master hasn''t trusted me yet. I have to show him that I was a good servant-! I mean maid! Yes, maid!'' She thought while clenching her hand with firm resolution. Unknown to Grayfia, Huo Yuhao is toozy to exin everything because she could get them by asking questions to the Dragon Nest''s members in thepoundter. A brief introduction is good enough for now. [Grayfia Luficufe''s loyalty has increased] [You now couldmunicate through "Telepathy." with her] "Well, that was... Something?" Huo Yuhao said with a wry expression because he barely did anything to keep Grayfia on his side. It''s not like he wasn''t attracted to the silver-haired maid because she is such a charmingdy with an adorable personality, but they barely knew each other. In his previous life, there was thismon phrase, "Tak Kenal Maka Tak Sayang." which means if you don''t know someone, you couldn''t love that person. If Huo Yuhao and Grayfia Lucifuge were closer, he wouldn''t mind bringing her to his side. After all, she could be a finepanion from what he had observed in thest three meetings they had with each other. Her deep fascination for him is admirable, but he doesn''t see anything besides that. ''Grayfia, can you hear me.'' Huo Yuhao still walked on the gravel path while looking at the evening sky. Meanwhile, Grayfia Lucifuge was startled because she abruptly heard Huo Yuhao''s voice. ''E-Eh, Yuhao-sama! When did you...'' She couldn''t feel any mental probe, making this telepathy more natural thanmunication magic. Even though this ability isn''t rare, to do it without her noticing any mental breach. And she has trained her mind through vigorous training with firm discipline for 199 years. Grayfia shook her head because she shouldn''t be surprised. After all, Huo Yuhao''s image in her mind is an invincible being, and doing something like this is nothing but a walk in the park for him. Wait. Grayfia suddenly halted her steps and nervously looked at Huo Yuhao because didn''t that mean her secret and dirty secrets had gotten exposed to him? The maid immediately covered her embarrassed face because she couldn''t marry anyone now. "Ahhh!" A soft frustrated groan escaped her mouth. Huo Yuhao tilted his head and sighed, "Don''t worry, I wouldn''t see into your head, Grayfia. This telepathy is special and can only be used tomunicate because I epted you as my servant a few days ago." "R-Really?" Grayfia hopefully looked at him. ''Damn, what''s this adorable creature?'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but question himself because Grayfia always appeared to be a professional and slightly emotional woman when meeting him. He hasn''t seen her in such an adorable light like this. "I would never pry into someone''s head that wasn''t my enemy. Even though people see me as a viin, I still respect one''s territory. Anyway, we have arrived at the training building." He coughed and wondered what secrets Grayfia had in her mind now "Thank you, Yuhao-sama." Grayfia tried her best to hide the embarrassment and nodded her head. Huo Yuhao nced away and returned, "Don''t mind it." They entered the training building and saw some people spar on a vast ground, leaving Grayfia confused. The building wasn''t that big outside and decently sized to 30 meters cubic from her observation, but the interior is more expansive for some reason. "Ah..." "Does this ce use the same technique Senior Murong demonstrated when you met me for the first time, Yuhao-sama?" She nced at Huo Yuhao, hoping for an answer from him. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Pretty much. We used runes to expand the space inside the building and Mirror Dimension for a training room because a light spar could be destructive sometimes." "Uh... Why did you call Murong Qianxue your senior, though?" He frowned because he hadn''t paid attention to the outside world. Scathach is taking his time inside the pocket dimension, and once they go out, the bedroom is their first destination. "After you epted me as your servant, I went to some people in thepound for more information. Since I''m not familiar with this ce, Senior Murong is the only person I could talk to before. She''s nice but always puts on a cold facade until she understands my new role." The maid said. "Ah, there is no particr reason, but she likes me to call her that." "I see..." Huo Yuhao went to the nearest training room. "Well, you can ask her for more information about Dragon Nest." Grayfia smiled and replied, "Noted, Yuhao-sama." Huo Yuhao told Grayfia he could awaken her martial soul, which made the maid quiet for a few minutes. Evo said the procedure wouldn''t take that long, but the system has to make the silver-haired devil''s bodypatible with Spirit Energy. [Soul Pulse would cause the target to feel extreme shock and pain for a few seconds] Evo added, which caused Huo Yuhao to sigh. After the exnation was over, Grayfia opened her mouth and said, "Do it." "I don''t mind extreme pain." [Do you want to awaken Grayfia''s Martial Soul?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao rolled his right sleeve and ced it near Grayfia''s lips, making her eyes squint slightly. "Bite onto my arm. It would help you suppress the urge to cryter." He said casually. "U-Um... Okay." Grayfia gently bit onto his arm. "Are you ready?" Huo Yuhao asked, to which the maid responded with a nod. He pressed the yes button and watched Grayfia''s eyes widen in shock as her entire body shook. She bit Huo Yuhao''s arm and hugged him while a thousand suns seemed to burn her from the inside. "Uugh..." Grayfia groaned, feeling a gentle pat on her head. "There, there." "Everything would be fine." Huo Yuhaoforted Grayfia, sensing Spirit Energy flowing inside her body. [You have awakened Grayfia Lucifuge''s Martial Soul] [Propator & Ennoia] [Name: Propator] [Type: Martial Soul/Tool-Type] [Grade: SS+] [Description: A ck handgun with the ability to manipte time] [Name: Ennoia] [Type: Martial Soul/Tool-Type] [Grade: SS+] [Description: A silver handgun with the ability to manipte space] Huo Yuhao was surprised because Grayfia awakened twin martial souls with broken innate skills. Even though he was sure, both guns possessed a limitation on how much they could manipte time and space. And At the end of the day, the silver-haired maid could be much stronger now. "Congrattions, Grayfia." Hemented, but she didn''t look happy for some reason. "I-I''m sorry... I''vemitted a big crime." Tears dropped from Grayfia''s eyes. "Eh?" Huo Yuhao gradually looked down at his right arm, seeing a light bite mark on the skin, and said, "It''s fine, Grayfia. I can regenerate anytime to heal the bite mark." "See." He showed her wless skin with no marks. Grayfia felt conflicted, but then Huo Yuhao''s new words astounded her. "Since you felt wrong, then what about this? I''ll punish you." "Please punish me, Yuhao-sama!" She eagerly responded. "Mm... Good. I''ll use one of my original techniques." Huo Yuhao warmed his fingers and ced them near Grayfia''s bum. "Gentle Love Tap." PA~!! "AAHHN~!" A decisive palm attack to make one experience painnded on Grayfia''s rear and made her moan. The sheer noise from pping flesh echoed in the training room, which sounded lewder than it should have been. ''P-Pervert!'' Bing Di yelled from the spirit sea, covering her face with a handkerchief. ''Hmm... That should be painful, but why did she look happy? Wait, is that cry of happiness??'' Tian Meng rubbed her eyes while seeing Grayfia. Eluxia tried to cover Helena''s ears from outside corruption andmented, ''I hope Helena doesn''t grow that way.'' "T-Thank you for the punishment, Yuhao-sama." Grayfia blushed hard and felt her rear burning in pain and maybe a little pleasure. Yes, just a little bit. Huo Yuhao looked at his hand and wondered why he didn''t use Gentle Love Tap when ying with Scathach in bed. What a waste. "Let''s start your training." Grayfia was about to ask for more punishment but decided not to because Huo Yuhao had issued the training. "Mm." She nodded, listening to how Spirit Masters cultivated their strengths from him. "Hello~! Anyone here?" Qianye Ying''er joined them fifteen minutester, bringing food for Huo Yuhao. "What''s that?" Huo Yuhao eyed the paper bag in Qianye Ying''er hand. The golden-haireddy giggled and answered, "Cheeseburger! You haven''t eaten anything for 31 days, no? Let''s eat together, Yuhao~!" "Grayfia will take a while. Sure, let''s eat together, Ying''er." Huo Yuhao nced at Grayfia on the ground with a ck spirit ring around 99.690 years old. However, Scathach suddenly barked in and sniffed something with a smug on her face. "Hmm, What''s this? I smell something..." She said yfully. Qianye Ying''er frowned and asked, "What''s it, teacher?" "Virgin," Scathach replied immediately, causing the golden-haired girl to fall onto the floor. "N-No way..." Qianye Ying''er couldn''t believe her ears. "I-I thought you guys were recovering in that house." "Get good, Ying''er. Hehehe~!!" Scathach lifted her chest proudly. "Y-You..." Huo Yuhao facepalmed on the side, "Can we just eat?" Chapter 100: Advice and Guests from heaven Chapter 100: Advice and Guests from heaven --- Chapter 100 --- Grayfia Lucifuge is a woman with a dream. She has faced many things in the past 200 years and discovered more corruption than goodness, covered by the shallow illusion that everything would be fine. However, just one person was enough to shake the illusion. There is no such thing as a perfect n because something or someone out there could always break it. Even after the Great War, Grayfia witnessed the surviving ns thrive and grow to get more corrupted, leaving aside the Extra Devil ns from Lucifer House because they believe in the Original Lucifer''s Will. She doesn''t mind the new four satans faction because they fought for the devil''s better future despite having some heavy banter with the royalty of higher devil ns. Still, they aren''t enough. The Devils in the underworld needed an absolute ruler. DUM! "So, this is how it feels to be a Spirit Master?" A throbbing sensation appears within Grayfia''s heart. Grayfia opened her eyes slowly and scanned a ck spirit ring floating around her, releasing soft temporal feels. Even though the silver-haired maid became a Spirit Master with just one spirit ring, it enhanced her devilish strength even more. Still, it''s another source of power from another world. "It feels bizarre." "Spirit Energy is not like Demonic Power... It''s more delicate and flows like water, but universal in usage because I can still Lucifuge n''s ability with it." "Hmm, this is my martial soul?" Grayfia called Propator, a ck handgun with gleaming dark light covering it. She could feel the Time Attribute remaining in her left hand, swirling and entering her body. "Is this what Yuhao-sama felt when using his power?" "Nope." Someone suddenly appeared before her face. "KYAA~!" Grayfia Lucifuge was startled and looked at Scathach, who was having french fries in her mouth. The red-haired young woman observed her student''s new servant and nodded because her martial soul wasn''t poor. "TEACHER, DON''T TAKE MY FRENCH FRIES!" Qianye Ying''erined on the side. She pouted because the french fries should feed to Huo Yuhao, but Scathach took them away. Scathach shrugged and replied, "You''re too slow." "It''s not like the fries needed anyway. And Yuhao was busy eating his burger." Everyone nced at the blue-haired young man who enjoyed his food and ignored them all. His attention solely focused on the cheeseburger. Huo Yuhao chewed and returned, "What?" "I haven''t eaten anything for a whole month. Of course, I''m hungry." ''What should I do?'' Qianye Ying''er pouted because teacher Scathach had taken another step like the mistress. She felt left behind by them, and thestment from the demonic teacher made her desperate. She blushed and whispered, "I-I also want my virginity to get taken by Yuhao..." "I will, but let''s take it slowly, okay?" Huo Yuhao smiled while patting Qianye Ying''er head gently. Qianye Ying''er eyes brightened when hearing that, "Mm." "At this point, Ying''er would be spoiled, Yuhao." Scathach rolled her eyes. "Do you think I don''t know she was skipping her training in the Vatican?" The golden-haireddy was caught off guard and immediately hid behind Huo Yuhao. She used the puppy eyes technique, but such a thing won''t work against Scathach. "Yuhao, protect me~!" She said, which left the Warrior Queen speechless. "Haha, she has been training intensely in the past few days to catch up on her vacant training period, Shishou. Let Ying''er cut some ck this time, okay?" Huo Yuhaoughed in amusement. Scathach sighed and replied, "Fine." "I''ll let her cut some ck this time." "Just let me see how much she had be after the so-called intense training." Huo Yuhao''s smile gradually hardened, "Sorry, Ying''er. I can''t save you from this." "Eh?" Qianye Ying''er stared at the purple-haireddy in disbelief. "NOOOO~!!" Meanwhile, Grayfia was tilting her head in confusion because the mood between the three was lighter than she thought. Not to mention Huo Yuhao smiled more freely. Hearing Qianye Ying''erints, Scathach casually ignored the golden-haired fanatic and moved her gaze back to Grayfia. "You must be curious why I said "Nope." before, right?" She said, finishing the french fries. Grayfia unknowingly nodded her head and responded with, "Yes." "I''m not sure how strong people from the Great War are, but Huo Yuhao has never gone all out since three years ago. People give him a fancy title throughout history, and they only saw a fraction of his power." Scathach wiped her hand with a handkerchief. "He sealed most of his power anyway." "Y-Yuhao-sama sealed his power?" Grayfia was surprised, looking at Huo Yuhao for confirmation. After all, the handsome blue-haired young man had showcased a presence more powerful than the God of the Bible, ording to Azazel. And this purple-haireddy said he was sealing his power? It''s just ridiculous. "Yep." Scathach chuckled andmented, "Heh, You''re lucky to be one of Huo Yuhao''s new servants in this world, allowing you to get in the front seat of his mightiness." "You had no idea how many young and beautifuldies want that servant position. Your name is Grayfia, no?" "Grayfia Lucifuge." The silver-haired devil answered, which caused Scathach to ponder for a moment. "Well, Grayfia. Since you have just started your journey with him. I''ll give you one piece of advice." Scathach suddenly grabbed the maid''s shoulder and made her winch in pain a little. Grayfia looked up slowly and shivered when seeing a pair of cold red eyes, freezing her soul instinctively. "Don''t you ever betray Yuhao..." "If that happens, before he could even touch you, I''ll kill you myself." Grayfia watched the world around her change into a suffocating blood field filled with killing intent. Several imaginary red spears pointed at her heart, neck, and other vital areas. Scathach only needs one more step. Yes, one more step is enough to kill her. "Do you understand?" A cold voice rang in her head. "Y-Yes," Grayfia hardly answered, gasping for air because death had never been so close to her. "Good. I hope you met my expectations." Scathach drew back her bloodlust and walked to Qianye Ying''er, dragging the golden-haired fanatic to another training ground. Things are going to be messy. Qianye Ying''er struggled and yelled, "NOOOO! PLEASE, DON''T BRING ME THERE!!" "YUHAO, SAVE ME~!!" Huo Yuhao yawned and responded, "Good luck, Ying''er. Come back before dinner." "I''ll cook for youter." Huo Yuhao stretched a few times and approached Grayfia with a wry expression because Scathach scared the devil maid to the core. He offered her his hand and asked, "Are you okay, Grayfia?" "Even though Shishou is sometimes cold, she''s warm and soft inside." "..." Grayfia breathed out and grabbed Huo Yuhao''s hand. "I can''t see that yet, Yuhao-sama." "There is a lot of time." Huo Yuhao returned while calming her with his True Daemon''s nature. "Well, we have some guests. Why don''t we greet them first?" "Guest?" The maid couldn''t help but frown inside. "Yes, Archangels from heaven." ... ... "Brother, are you sure this was the right choice?" A confused voice rang on the front door of Dragon Nest Compound. "Yes, do you forget what he can do to our father?" Another voice questioned a blonde man. Micheal heard the voice of Uriel and Raphael, shaking his head because their father told them about Blue-Eyed Dragon God''s second appearance back when he was on his deathbed. Even though it''s hard for them to ept their father''s wish, the Biblical God''s decision has been made and implemented into the heaven system. "Uriel, Raphael... Don''t tell me you want to oppose our father''s wish?" He asked them back, which left the two archangels mute for a moment. "This is for the best." "And Father knows what''s best for us." A bright golden light descended from the sky, and Micheal sighed inside because his sister was fearless as always. A beautiful woman with blonde curly hair that curls at the end and a voluptuous figure wrapped in a holy white dressnded beside him. "Brother, how can you do this?" Her voice is full of worry. Micheal smiled wryly and replied, "This is my duty as the temporary holder of the heaven system." Gabriel scrunched her face adorably and stubbornly returned, "No, this is our duty. Father has never told you to carry all the burden, Micheal." The front door was suddenly opened, revealing a familiar silver-haired female devil. "Grayfia Lucifuge," Micheal called the woman''s name. "Wee to the Dragon Nestpound." Grayfia bent her body slightly to them. "Yuhao-sama have been waiting for you." "Ah... Of course, he would see using here." Micheal was awed for a moment and remembered that Huo Yuhao wasn''t ordinary. Gabriel peeked at the person behind Grayfia and was stunned. She looked at the handsome young man with short blue hair, having some white and golden hairs hanging around. ''Father... You were right. He hasn''t changed much, but something about him reminds me about you.'' She thought while nervously staring at Huo Yuhao. There is this weird feeling offort in her heart when seeing his face. "Yo, wee." Huo Yuhao walked forward and greeted them casually. "Grayfia, prepare tea for us." Grayfia nodded and replied, "Right away, Yuhao-sama." Micheal shook his head slightly and responded, "Then, pardon our intrusion." "P-Pardon our intrusion," Gabriel added with a weird sensation in her heart. Chapter 101: Deja Vu Chapter 101: Deja Vu --- Chapter 101 --- Huo Yuhao sipped his tea and looked at the archangels who visited the Dragon Nest Compound out of nowhere. He can see theming with Observation Haki beforehand, despite not using it to the fullest. ''Well, Observation Haki should be active passively as long as my spiritual core still has energy left.'' He thought while checking the massive tree in his spiritual sea. His contracted souls are enjoying their time, building their personal spaces. Huo Yuhao chuckled inside because Tian Meng was building a private beach inside his spiritual sea. This Skydream Iceworm is carefree and exceptional at manipting spiritual energy, resting on a beach chair made of ice with ssy sunsses over her head. ''Go away, Yuhao! This sister needs some rxing time after crazy shit happens around you!'' Tian Meng rolled her body around and waved her handzily at him. If only she wore a bikini, she would look better. Oh well, she was toozy to change her hoodie. Huo Yuhao sighed at her, ''That''s not very cute of you, Sister Daydream.'' The corner of Tian Meng''s mouth twitched slightly, and she ignored him from now on because he would drag this useless conversation for his personal amusement. ''What a sadist...'' She grumbled while covering her head with a pillow. "Um, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." Someone called Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao ced his cup on the table and replied, "Sorry, I was "daydreaming." for a moment." ''Fuck you!'' Tian Meng yelled from the spiritual sea. ''Fuck you, motherfucker.'' ''Thanks for thepliment.'' Huo Yuhao replied while smiling at the archangels. After all, what Tian Meng said was true. ''IT''S NOT A COMPLIMENT!'' ... "Yuhao-sama, I brought some snacks too." Grayfia ced a big te filled with bite-sized sweets, cakes, and other food. "Thank you, Grayfia." Huo Yuhao nodded in recognition because she knew how to serve guests well. Picking a Manju from the ce, he asked, "So what do you guys need from me?" Micheal sighed and replied, "We shall surrender heaven to you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God. It was our father''s order before he passed away from using thest bit of his divine power to foresee the future." "I see... He''s a fragile man with strong beliefs, not going to lie." Huo Yuhaomented while recalling the Biblical God''s condition. "He got weakened when fighting in the Great War, and my attack should worsen his condition furthermore." "He is..." The male archangel smiled weakly. They kept talking about heaven''s surrender and Huo Yuhao''s uing n, which led to the matter of heaven''s system left behind by the Biblical God to control the flow of the world. Huo Yuhao was speechless andmented, "Who would have thought he supports my goal of conquering this world? I know heaven will be my territory sooner orter, but this was faster than I expected." "Like, aren''t you guys in heaven opposing this decision?" Micheal shook his head and replied, "Father''s order is absolute for us. And I always believed he was doing the best for everyone." "You''re a good man, Micheal. However, don''t get me started on how fucked his system was." Huo Yuhao made the archangel''s expression harden in dread. "Do you think his system is perfect for maintaining this world''s bnce?" "If so, why did such a thing like Bnce Break exist in Sacred Gears?" "I fought with the White Dragon Emperor a few days ago, and he used the Bnce Breaker. Unless the Biblical God wants humans to strive and break their limit, this "Bug." in the system shouldn''t get intended, right?" "Since you''re the temporary governor of heaven''s system, you should realize there are more ws now." He added while staring into Micheal''s eyes. "The heaven needs a new God." Micheal stood up from the couch, and his eyes widened when hearing thatst line, "Don''t tell me you want to take over the system." "That''s hisst wish, no?" Huo Yuhao returned casually. "..." Micheal. "Haa... Correct. He wanted you to govern the heavens but with a condition." He responded while sitting back. Huo Yuhao honestly was amused by the Biblical God''s condition and asked, "What is it?" Micheal breathed in because their father''s words were still fresh in his mind, despite hundred years having passed. He nced at Gabriel and moved his gaze back to Huo Yuhao. "Protect this world from an outsider." "So he knew?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh. After all, the Biblical God can see far into the future, but he somehow expected Huo Yuhao to protect this world. Ah, he doesn''t have a choice left. "Father knew that you were from another world. He couldn''t find a single record of your existence in heaven''s system." Gabriel suddenly opened her mouth. "He left these words before passing away..." "The Great Red has always been protecting the Dimensional Gap from an outside threat, but our father calctes that within one year after your second appearance, something dangerous woulde and destroy this world." "Trihexa alsoes in contact with Lucifer''s Blood and breaks the seal he ced before the Great War, making the threats not onlying from outside but inside our worlds as well." Grayfia frowned when Gabriel mentioned Lucifer''s Blood and stared at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao-sama, Lucifer n have perished and only left a few descendants as far as I know." She reported solemnly. "The only person with Lucifer''s Blood I could think of right now is Rizevim Livan Lucifer. He''s thest descendant of Lucifer." The silver-haired maid knew Huo Yuhao had Lucifer''s Blood through an unknown method, but he didn''t seem to be a person who would awaken the legendary beast that could destroy the world. He wanted to conquer this world, not destroy it. "There is another person with Lucifer''s Blood, but Rizevim is still the main suspect." Huo Yuhao suddenly stated, which left Grayfia quiet because all Lucifer descendants should get recorded within her family library. "No, that can''t be..." Grayfia covered her mouth as a person came into her mind. "Razevan Lucifer, The original Lucifer''s grandson. He died ten years ago in an ident." "And A kid is missing in that very ident." "Vali Lucifer." Huo Yuhao nodded, finishing Grayfia''s mysteries. "He''s on our side, don''t worry about him awakening Trihexa." "That guy might be dumb, but he''s not that dumb." In the Grigori, Vali sneezed and immediately frowned while looking around his room. "Someone is talking about me..." He muttered while lying on his bed. "Since when did you be this narcissistic, Vali?" Albion couldn''t help but curiously question his host. Vali rolled his eyes in disbelief and said, "Shut up. Albion." Back at the Dragon Nest Compound, Grayfia Lucifuge was dumbfounded and pondered because she had met the young man Huo Yuhao talked about now. Vali Lucifer is the current White Dragon Emperor, which means his mother is a human. "Vali is part of Dragon Nest now. He wouldn''t do such a thing." Huo Yuhao confirmed his own words because Micheal and Gabriels appeared nervous. Atst, they finally could sigh in relief. And Huo Yuhao can''t me them because Trihexa''s existence is like a ticking bomb to this world. Even though he wasn''t sure how stronger this creature was because he hasn''t read any Highschool DxD''s light novels, he gave them the benefit of the doubt as the Biblical God warned him in the past. "Oh yeah, do you guys know about this?" Huo Yuhao opened his palm and released a brownish-golden light, making Gabriel squeal in surprise. The bombshell archangel grasped Huo Yuhao''s hand and cried, "Father!" "Huh??" Huo Yuhao felt the warmth of Gabriel''s soft hand, watching her cries. Micheal was frozen like a statue when sensing Huo Yuhao''s brownish-golden light, powerful energy that only Biblical God possessed and no one could replicate. Still, Huo Yuhao''s version seems more powerful and different because the faith sent to Huo Yuhao was from all Dragon Nest members who believe in his mightiness. "Father!!" Gabriel hugged Huo Yuhao and shoved her bountiful breast onto his face. Grayfia couldn''t feel anything and asked, "Um, can someone exin?" "Yuhao-sama?" Huo Yuhao shook his head and returned, "I''m the one who asked about this first, Grayfia." Micheal lifted himself from the couch and walked to Huo Yuhao with a solemn expression. He stared at him and kneeled before the brownish-golden light. "Oh, Father... Someone has inherited your will." He lowered his head. "Yuhao-sama, please put the heavens under your control..." Huo Yuhao sighed, "This feels familiar." Chapter 102: Gabriels Curiosity Chapter 102: Gabriel''s Curiosity --- Chapter 102 --- A day passed after the angels'' visit, and the Dragon Nest''spound became more lively than ever. Huo Yuhao waszily lying on the tatami floor while watching the television of this world, knowing the era was still in the early stage of development. "Father, open your mouth... Aah~!" A beautiful woman with long yet curly blonde hair fed him a sliced apple. Yes, this person was Gabriel, one of the archangels from heaven. Since Huo Yuhao epted heaven yesterday to be under Dragon Nest''s direct control, Gabriel assigned herself as his caretaker. Even though he didn''t need one, the beautiful archangel insisted firmly. "No! Eat mine, Yuhao-sama~!" A beautiful woman with silky silver-haired hair opposed Gabriel, wanting to feed him a sliced peach. She''s Grayfia Lucifuge, or what people know as the silver guardian of the underworld. People will be jealous when seeing this scenery because not only is Huo Yuhao served by beautiful women, but they are also so well-known in the supernatural circle, and only a few individuals are lucky enough to have contact with them. Huo Yuhao was shoved by a sliced apple and peach, smiling wryly inside because a rivalry grew between the angel and devil so fast. He shook his head and ate the cut fruits. [Gabriel''s Loyalty has increased] [You now could awaken Gabriel''s Martial Soul] ''Seriously? I only ate fruits.'' Huo Yuhao was speechless. As they kept feeding Huo Yuhao with fruits, He surfed through the channels and stopped when Kyoto was "briefly." mentioned by the tv caster. "Kyoto''s weather has been quite sunny sincest week~!" The excited voice of the female casteres from the tv. "And the chance of rain is close to zero." "Hmm... It''s weird, but the city has be livelier because the weather is nice for a family holiday. What a lucky month it is." "What do you think, the viewer at home? Why don''t you visit this beautiful city with your family~?" Huo Yuhao supported his chin andmented, "Lucky month, huh?" It''s not hard for Huo Yuhao to discover the reason behind Kyoto''s good weather because his mom probably maniptes the Qi Luck there, giving the city more prosperity. But for what? He couldn''t find out why Huo Yun''er decided to take over Kyoto because nothing was appealing there except the West Youkai Faction. And then he suddenly recalled the leader of the West Youkai Faction, a female Nine-Tailed Fox named Yasaka. "Fox..." He muttered because Huo Yun''er often mentions her inherited legacy beast. He has Naga, the Chaotic Purgatory Dumb Dragon of the Dark me Universe. Meanwhile, Huo Yun''er has Yae, the Blue me Deity of the Heavenly Fox n. And She said the Heavenly Fox ces some conditions for her to inherit the deity power to the fullest. He chewed the apple and peach in his mouth and muttered, "It has been six years, and mom still hasn''tpleted her legacy trial. There are always two spiritual sources in her body, merging slowly..." "Don''t tell me she wants to finish it here?" Grayfia sat beside him and asked, "Yuhao-sama, what are you thinking about now? You seemed to be in a trance for a moment there." Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "I was thinking about my mother. It''s been a week since I met her." "Yuhao-sama/Father''s mother??" The angel and devil women tilted their heads at the same time. "Yep." He nodded casually. "I missed her food already." Gabriel pondered something in her head and said, "Um, Father... Then, can I cook something to ease your longing? Just say which dishes you want." "No, it''s okay." Huo Yuhao helplessly chuckled because Gabriel had been acting like a filial daughter the whole day. She only wanted to make him happy. "Let''s awaken your martial soul, Gabriel." "Martial Soul?" Gabriel was confused. Grayfia took her chance and exined, "Martial Soul, or what people from Huo Yuhao-sama''s world called Spirit, awakened when one reaches six at Spirit Awakening Ceremony and starts their journey to be Spirit Master." "It''s quite literally the manifestation of one''s innate talent." "There are three types of Martial Soul, Tool, Beast, and Body Spirits." "Oh~! You know a lot, Grayfia." Gabriel praised while pping her hands. Grayfia Lucifuge has pride as a proper maid, so she asks several people from the Dragon Nest Compound for information regarding Huo Yuhao''s homeworld. The silver-haired devil lifted her nose slightly and added, "However, You also have to awaken Spirit Power because that yed a role in your cultivation." "Mine is Level 10, and Dragon Nest Members from the Douluo Dalu''s universe called it Innate Full Spirit Power, allowing me to absorb a spirit ring and reach the next stage of Spirit Master''s cultivation." Gabriel''s eyes widened in awe when seeing a ck handgun appear in Grayfia''s left hand with a ck ring of light around it. "What''s this dark-colored halo?" She curiously questioned because no devil aura wasing out of it. "Spirit Ring, it naturallyes after killing Spirit Beast. And Yuhao-sama discovered a way to use another source of Spirit ring, allowing Spirit Masters from the Dragon Nest to grow stronger without killing "Real." Spirit Beast." Grayfia calmly answered while remembering the shock she experienced when obtaining a powerful skill from her 1st Spirit ring. Time Maniption, that''s Spirit Skill Grayfia obtained from the 99.690 years old Spirit Beast known as Temporal ck Butterfly. A rare spirit beast with potent Time Attribute and spawned in the Advalon, having a 0.5% spawn chance per year. One has to be lucky enough to hunt these spirit beasts because they could disappear into Temporal Space and hide there forever. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao''s luck is very high. And despite being a rare spirit beast, Temporal ck Butterfly''s attack power was even lower than Tian Meng''s. After all, manipting time needs deep understanding, control, and creativity. Grayfia exined the cultivation realm of Spirit Master to Gabriel, and the angel listened and nodded her head like a newborn chick, even writing everything on a white notebook that she stored in her bountiful bosom. After several minutes, Huo Yuhao turned off the TV and watched Gabriel mumbling something. "I see... Spirit Master. Even humans could face a god with this method." She said while closing her notebook. "Do you want to be one too, Gabriel?" Huo Yuhao asked with amusement in his tone. Gabriel beamed immediately and returned, "Father, Can I?" "Come here." Huo Yuhao tapped the t pillow he used toy down beforehand and told Evo to awaken Gabriel''s martial soul when he said so. Gabriel sat there with a hopeful look and curiously watched him. "This will be a little painful. Endure it." He warned her, to which the angel responded with a nod. Huo Yuhao used the Faith Energy from Demi-Primordial Human traits and soothed Gabriel''s body with warmth. She flushed a little and grabbed his right hand, cing it on top of her head. "Hehe, Father~!" ''Evo, awaken her martial soul.'' Huo Yuhao tried his best to make the experience less painful, but Gabriel still felt extreme pain all over her being and forced a smile because she didn''t want to show an ugly appearance to him. One second felt like forever, and Gabriel choked for air, releasing tears because of the excessive pain. [You have awakened Gabriel''s Martial Soul] [Testament] [Name: Testament] [Type: Martial Soul/Tool-Type] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Testament is a pair of pure white wing-like swords, having a power that governs over the Concept of Vow and Binding] "Good job." Huo Yuhao wiped her tears with his hand. "Don''t cry because Gabriel is a good girl, right?" "Mm." Gabriel nodded, feeling a new sensation growing from the depth of her soul. She noticed a pair of pure white wing-like swords glowed with pure white light. Huo Yuhao patted the angel a few times and noticed Grayfia was staring with a dull expression. He signaled her toe to his position, so he could pat the maid''s head because she was jealous. "Oh, What do we have here?" Scathach walked into the room with a bucket of popcorn. "My student and his little servants..." "Are you going to make this teacher of yours jealous?" Huo Yuhao smiled weakly and replied, "Stop teasing me, Shishou." "So, how was Ying''er?" Scathach smirked because she had been testing Qianye Ying''er progress in the training room and was surprised to find the golden-haireddy had be stronger again. She sat on the sofa and said, "Hmph, you''re not lying when telling me she was training intensely." "Anyway, Have you checked the data I shared through Giana?" "What data?" Huo Yuhao frowned a little. "This data~!" Giana appeared from Huo Yuhao''s watch and manifested some holographic images of metal boxes from the airport. Gabrial blinked a few times and muttered, "These metal boxes... Weren''t they made to store Excaliburs?" "I feel something annoying is going to happen." Huo Yuhao immediately used Observation Haki and saw a few images. He rubbed his forehead in annoyance and said, "Kokabiel." "For fuck sake, He''s going to attack Kuoh Academy in a few minutes." Chapter 103: Kokabiels Attack Chapter 103: Kokabiel''s Attack --- Chapter 103 --- "For fuck sake." Azazel was furious. He mmed his hand onto the office desk when receiving a call from Huo Yuhao. At first, he is suspicious because the literal incarnation of doom reached him first, but hearing the reason behind it makes him irritated. "Are you kidding me?" "Do you think I would joke around like this?" Huo Yuhao questioned while stretching his body. "Yes." Azazel returned immediately. "..." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in annoyance, "Just shut the fuck up and meet me in thepound. Ah yes, your sister is here too." Azazel frowned a little when hearing thest line from the famous Huo Yuhao regarding his sister because he only had one sister before and after falling from grace. It''s somewhat awkward for them to meet each other after the Biblical God passes away. "I hope he was joking..." Azazel watched the magic circle disappear slowly. "Then, again... Why would someone in his position lie? He could kill me at any moment." Azazel leaned on his chair with an exhausted expression and stared at the ceiling with aplicated gaze. He sighed and called some people in the Grigori to follow him. "Kokabiel... That bastard." He groaned while rubbing his forehead. "Baraqiel, Vali. Come to my office now." "We have a problem here." ... Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly because Azazel needed to know about Kokabiel''s n, as the wild fallen angel wanted to start another Great War between three factions. Unfortunately for Kokabiel, that wouldn''t happen because devils, fallen angels, and angels would be under Huo Yuhao''s control sooner orter. He nced at Gabriel, observing her progress in absorbing her 1st spirit ring. It was a spirit ring from Red Rune Stone or what he called Pandora Rune Stone. It''s a unique rune stone where spirit rings from Dungeon Monster condensed into one container and battled each other, leaving only the most "powerful." spirit ring there. Usually, Pandora Rune Stones would birth out a powerful spirit ring with unique skills that could pair up with the user well, but in some odd cases, people gain a worthless spirit ring that doesn''t match up with their martial souls. "Hmm... Pandora Rune Stone takes so much time to create. I probably can make it faster with Nightmare Demon Pot, but I haven''t tried it because of the unknown property between two worlds." Huo Yuhao thought while scanning the red spirit ring above Gabriel''s head. [Name: Heavenly Spring Dove] [Type: Spirit Ring] [Age: 100.700 years old] [Description: Heavenly Spring Dove is an amalgamation of Pandora Rune Stone, a spirit ring that is born by devouring other spirit beast''s remnant and evolved under pressure, which turned 10.000 years old Spring Dove''s spirit ring into Heavenly Spring Dove] [Heavenly Spring Dove possessed the concept of "Caged Freedom." and powerful light element] "What about Gabriel?" He looked at the beautiful angel. [Name: Gabriel] [Race: Archangel] [Age: Ageless/more than 690 years old] [Cultivation: Level 19/Spirit Master] [Martial Soul: Testament] [Power: Level 98.9/Hyper Douluo] [Description: A sweet angel with a traumatic past using someone''s existence as a coping mechanism] Huo Yuhao was quiet when reading Gabriel''s status because she had grown more powerful than before. After the Great War, she became stronger by a few levels. Nheless, when briefly looking down and reading Gabriel''s description, Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but sigh as this woman still hasn''t forgotten the loss of the Biblical God''s life. And he can''t me her either because a God is supposed to be omnipotent. "Omnipotent, there is no such a thing in this world." Huo Yuhao said after observing Ophis''s blood and strength over infinity. Even though the Great Red probably has the power of 1st God ss or Half-Step Godking with the ability over Dream, he''s confident enough to defeat it himself. He wasing here prepared to fight God-ss Enemy, but the reality is often disappointing. "Shishou, can you stop staring at me like that." He sighed while looking at Scathach. Scathach smirked and yfully replied, "Well, you look delicious, my dear student." "So, how was your little new servant?" "I started to see a pattern here, big boobs, nice butts, and overall beautiful faces." She narrowed her red eyes at Gabriel''s figure because the angel had a bigger chest than her. However, at first nce, she could see that Gabriel doesn''t train her body to the fullest. "She looks like a soft doll that could break anytime." Huo Yuhao smiled weakly and returned, "Shishou, are you jealous? Don''t worry. Your butts and thighs are marvelous." Scathach blushed because of how casually her student spouted things and pouted, "H-Hmph, of course! I''ve trained my body well." "Cute." Huo Yuhaomented with a chuckle. After Gabriel wakes up from the meditation, she looks around in confusion and watches the red spirit ring above her left palm. She summoned her martial soul Testament, the dual sword with wing-like guards. It''s weird because she could feel two new abilities in her head. "Eternal Vow." "Pure Binding." Gabriel was surprised for a moment and fell into deep thought because her spirit skills were absurd. It doesn''t have a massive attack power but is dangerous upon activation. Of course, there are some limitations, and she doesn''t mind them at all. "How was it?" Huo Yuhao asked while fixing his messy hair. Gabriel smiled beautifully at him and answered, "It feels amazing, Father~!" "Even though the foreign energy isn''t mixing with my light energy, I could feel my strength increasing tremendously." "Good." Huo Yuhao nodded because he was sure Gabriel''s base strength was more than a Title Douluo. It also applies to Grayfia, but he doesn''t have a Time-Attributed spirit ring older than the silver-haired maid''s 1st spirit ring. They could age their spirit rings at Advalonter, anyway. Gabriel looked around and asked, "Where is Grayfia-san?" "I give Grayfia little errands. She should have returned soon." Huo Yuhao picked Heart-Calming Candy and shared some with Gabriel, who looked curious about these sweet-scented pearls. "Have you never eaten candy before, Gabriel?" Gabriel tilted her head and returned cluelessly, "Candy? These pearls are called Candy?" ''Just how clueless are you about a simple desire like this?'' Huo Yuhao was actually surprised. "Gabriel. What kind of foods have you usually eaten in heaven?" "Hmm... Let''s see, Anything thates from nature. Archangels usually don''t eat because we can sustain our bodies with Light Energy." Gabriel replied instantly. "Sometimes people share their fruits with me." "What about meat?" Huo Yuhao tested her. Like thinking deeply, she looked up and hesitantly said, "Meat... I don''t really have a problem eating it, but I''ll always be thankful for the animal that provides it first." "Even though it is saddening, It''s a cycle of life." Huo Yuhaoughed andmented, "I see." "Then, enjoy the candy." "Thank you, Father." Gabriel lowered her head gracefully and tried one of the candies. Her eyes widened in shock because she had never tasted something sweet yet soothing. "D-Delicious..." Gabriel felt a pat on her head and smiled because the warmth from Huo Yuhao''s hand reminded her of the Biblical God. Even though Gabriel knew they weren''t the same individuals, she wished to feel this way for a while. "Yuhao-sama, everything is ready." Grayfia walked out of a blueish-white magic circle. "How are-." "..." She was stunned. And honestly jealous of how Huo Yuhao treated Gabriel. However, Grayfia believed she had to earn this treatment with her excellent performance as a maid. Grayfia sighed inside and reported again, "The four satans rted to the Kuoh Academy made contact with me. They will arrive in a few minutes." "Nice, Shishou. Are you going to follow us to Kuoh Academy?" Huo Yuhao asked Scathach. Scathach chewed her popcorn and instead asked, "Is this guy called Kokabiel strong?" Huo Yuhao shrugged and answered, "He''s barely at Title Douluo''s strength." "Then, no. Let me see the item within the metal boxester." Scathach rolled her eyes in disgust. "Trash doesn''t deserve a match with me." "..." Grayfia. "..." Gabriel. The angel in the room wanted to argue with Scathach, but the god-yer casually released her title douluo pressure. Gabriel walked back a few meters away, crossing her arms in disbelief. They called her the most powerful angel, but she was nothing before this purple-haireddy. And Gabriel was threatened with the sensation of death. "Cute, now go away. I want to watch some movies." Scathachmented while looking at Gabriel. "Shu~ Shu~!" "See you in a few minutes, Shishou." Huo Yuhao created a wormhole in the Kuoh Academy. Even though someone ced a barrier, he could go in and walk to the rooftop of the main building without any problem. Gabriel and Grayfia followed Huo Yuhao, seeing the scenery inside the academy was gloomy red because of the barrier. They saw a familiar fallen angel with five pairs of feathery wings. "VALPER GALILEI!!" A furious shout suddenly echoed in the field. "I''LL KILL YOU!!!" Chapter 104: Clark Kents Appearance Chapter 104: rk Kent''s Appearance --- Chapter 104 --- Huo Yuhao sat on the roof and ate Heart-Calming Candy while watching the attack inside the Kuoh Academy. He instructed Gabriel and Grayfia to hide their presence first because he wanted to know the reason behind Kokabiel''s attack. "VALPER GALILEI!" "I''LL KILL YOU!" A furious shout echoed in the field. Huo Yuhao looked down. He saw a rather handsome young man with short blond hair, blue eyes, and a mole underneath his left eye. This guy wore the Kuoh Academy boys'' school uniform, minus the zer and rips all over the shirt. He has a sword in his hand, shining with ebony ck light. [Name: Yuuto Kiba] [Age: 17] [Race: Modified Human, Reincarnated Devil] [Level: Middle-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Level 45/Spirit Ancestor] [Equipment: Sword Birth] [Description: A young man driven by revenge] "DIE!" Yuuto Kiba roared and jumped toward Valper Galilei. Valper Galilei has the appearance of a short, bespectacled elderly with gray hair, a mustache, and ck eyes, who wore a priest outfit. Even though Yuuto attacked him, Valper still had a calm expression. CLANK! A young man with short white hair and red eyes suddenly stopped Yuuto with a grotesque-looking sword. He was dressed in clerical clothing and often had a disturbing smile on his face. And this young man''s name is Freed Sellzen. "Freed, show the failure product the power of Excalibur," Valper said indifferently. "HAHAHA~!" Freed grinned and waved the fused Excalibur from three Excalibur pieces. "LET''S SEE WHOSE SWORD IS MORE POWERFUL!" "MINE IS LONGER AND BIGGER!" "AND MUCH MORE HOLY!" "Holy shit." Huo Yuhaomented upon seeing this guy. Even the most famous archangel of heaven was speechless when seeing Freed. Gabriel couldn''t help but cover her mouth in disbelief because all the priests or exorcists she knew were always soft-spoken and polite despite their appearances. Of course, there are some exceptions, but their hearts are still in a good ce. Still, Freed is different because he has more sin than faith in Gabriel''s eyes. Gabriel understands not everyone is sinless because only a newborn baby will have such purity. As individuals grow up, they would pile up life lessons and unique experiences, learning bad and good things along the way. Freed is different because he is a psychopath and a battle maniac. He preferred violence over logic, spoke vulgarly, and was insane. He killed monsters and Devils just for the sake of his pleasure and also had no qualms about murdering humans. "Disgusting..." Gabriel felt pity for Freed. Pity such a thing could live in this world. Huo Yuhao patted Gabriel''s shoulder and said reassuringly, "I know you''re kind to others, Gabriel. Unfortunately, not everyone deserves a second chance." "There is always that one person who is beyond fix." Gabriel nodded and smiled, "I''ll keep that in mind, Father." Grayfia cleaned the rooftop with her handkerchief "thoroughly." and sat beside Huo Yuhao, observing Rias Gremory, Sona Sitri, and Lucia Halphas''s peerages. They are famous in the underworld for their achievement because of reaching High-ss Devil status through the new devil development program. After the Evil Pieces'' system started a few hundred years ago, the devil n in the underworld initiated training their heiress intensely to match their status. They had to reach High-ss Devil in six years and prove their strengths with a rating match against the former generation. "Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess, Not bad for the sister of Lucifer." Grayfia looked at Rias, who fought against the horde of Cerberus with her power of destruction. "They are growing steadily." BOOM! Rias Gremory summoned several red magic circles in the air and bombarded the Cerberus Kokabiel summoned with her power of destruction. "Issei, dodge!" She yelled at a young man, who became her peerage memberst week. "BOOST!" "BOOST!" "GIVE ME MY OPPAI~!!" A brown-haired young man screamed and punched the iing Cerberus in the face,unching the beast a few meters away. "..." Rias Gremory. Huo Yuhao facepalmed because he got second-hand embarrassment from this guy. He knew Issei Hyoudou was a pervert and his goal was to be Harem King but to shout breast to strengthen yourself is cringe as fuck. "Shishou will obliterate this guy without any mercy." He sighed while looking at the red gauntlet in Issei''s left hand. [Name: Issei Hyoudou] [Age: 17] [Race: Reincarnated Devil] [Level: Mid-ss Devil(Growing)] [Battle Power: Level 39/Spirit Elder(Growing)] [Equipment: Boosted Gear] [Description: Self-dreamed Harem King, Oppai is life] Issei is a high school student of average height with short spiky brown hair, two short locks of hair behind his head, and light brown eyes. He wore a Kuoh Academy boys'' outfit with an unbuttoned zer and a red t-shirt. "That''s the Boosted Gear." Gabriel recognized the Sacred Gears wielded immediately. She pondered how a perverted person wielded a power that could kill a god but believed this young man was somewhat better than Freed Sellzen. ''What''s this weird sensation? My Oppai''s sense is tingling!'' Issei thought while boosting his strength again. He looked around and faced another Cerberus, bing pale because the beast was scarier than before. "Fuck!" "Ara~! Do you need help?" A sh of lightning struck the Cerberus, burning the beast to a crisp. Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to the source of this yful voice, seeing a young woman with long ck hair styled in a ponytail and a body that could rival Rias in buxomness. [Name: Akeno Himejima] [Age: 18] [Race: Half-Blooded Fallen Angel, Reincarnated Devil] [Level: Middle-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Level 61/Spirit Emperor] [Description: A young woman with a father issue] Akeno is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long ck hair, and violet eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a long ponytail, reaching down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in ce. Like most of the girls at Kuoh Academy, she wears the customary Kuoh Academy girls'' school uniform, along with ck calf-length socks. "Can you feel it too, Gabriel?" Huo Yuhao questioned the angel beside him with a smile. "Doesn''t that young woman feel familiar to you?" "Yes, but I can''t get my hand on it," Gabriel replied with puzzlement because she felt the Fallen Angel''s presence from Akeno''s body. "Well, the main event is about to get started." Huo Yuhao sensed several presences surrounding the barrier. Qianye Ying''er suddenly contacted Huo Yuhao with Giana''s connection and said, "Yuhao, hold the guy named Valper. I need him for the court in the Vatican." "We can''t let that guy die there because Justice should get served correctly. We have one of his victims here." "Victim?" Huo Yuhao frowned because he knew Yuuto Kiba was the only survivor of the Holy Sword Project. On the side, Gabriel frowned because how could she have never heard about this? He nced at the shady-looking elderly and added, "Very well, bring the Vatican''s force to Kuoh Academy. I''ll hold Valper with Bronzy." "Hmm??" Grayfia and Gabriel peeked into Huo Yuhao''s shadow, realizing it was expanding into a draconic creature. "Go." Huo Yuhao instructed his shadow general to hide inside Valper Galilei''s shadow. No one noticed a massive force moving in the darkness besides three people that watched everything from the rooftop. Grayfia could feel an eerie sensation from the shadow and asked, "Yuhao-sama... That shadow is?" "It''s my subordinate." He replied while counting down in his head. "ARRRGGGHHHH!" Yuuto''s sword was shattered by Freed''s united Excalibur, causing Rias and his fellow peerage members to be worried. They couldn''t help him because their hands were full of Cerberus. "KIBA!" Issei shouted in worry. Koneko''s nose twitched slightly because a familiar intoxicated scent invaded her nostrils. She looked around and spotted a young man with dazzling blue hair sitting on the roof of the main building. Her Nekoshou instinct soared through her head immediately. ''Y-Yuhao... Nii-sama!'' She thought while recalling the saintess''s teaching two days ago. The young Nekoshou panicked because there must be a reason why Huo Yuhao went to this ce himself. ''Don''t tell me he is gonna save us from Kokabiel?'' Her imagination started to be wild. Valper cleaned his sses and said, "Haa... As expected of failed products. You could create a demonic sword, so what? They are meaningless before the holy sword Excalibur." He picked a bizarre diamond-shaped crystal with a dark shade of blue and indigo on its outside. And Yuuto''s eyes widened when he saw this crystal, causing him to be enraged once again. "AAAAHHHH!" Yuuto created another sword and aimlessly swung his sword at Valper. CLANK! BOOM! COUGH! Kokabiel flicked his finger and struck Yuuto''s chest with ance made of a light element. He sent the young reincarnated devil flying to the sshouse. "Hmph, Trash." Hemented indifferently. Valper watched Yuuto and threw the diamond-shaped crystal onto the ground like garbage. "Freed, finish him." He said, making the psychopathugh in expectation. "DIE, YOU FILTHY DEVIL!" Freed swung his sword. BAM! "Excalibur? This scrap is not even good enough to be a skewer." A youthful voice full of boredom echoed in the field, and they saw a young man with dashing blue hair and ck-framed sses stopping Excalibur with his bare hand. "HUH???" "Who are you?" Kokabiel looked at the young man with hostility. Huo Yuhao smirked and answered, "rk Kent." Chapter 105: Ex-Caliburn Chapter 105: Ex-Caliburn --- Chapter 105 --- "rk Kent." Everyone was confused because they had never heard such a name before. Some people even have difficulty pronouncing it, like Issei and other members of the heiresses'' peerage. Freed tried to shake Excalibur from Huo Yuhao''s hand, but the grip was too powerful. He tried to use the holy sword''s abilities, but none activated for some reason. "Bastard... LET GO OF MY SWORD!" "A fine sword is important, but the wielder isn''t good enough." Huo Yuhao casually lifted three fingers off the Excalibur, and Freed still couldn''t lift the holy sword. "King Arthur pulled his sword from the stone in the legend, so how could you not be able to lift this scrap from my fingers?" "It''s just two fingers, you know?" Huo Yuhao smirked because Freed''s struggle entertained him a little. "What about this? I will lift another finger to make it easier for you." They watched Huo Yuhao slowly lift another finger from Excalibur, but an unknown force kept hisst finger sticking to the de. And no matter how much Freed added or used his strength, he couldn''t lift the united Excalibur. Valper Galilei rubbed his eyes in shock because a regr human shouldn''t be able to touch Excalibur. People such as exorcists needed the Holy Element naturally or embedded into their bodies to wield the holy sword. However, looking at how casually the unknown young man named rk Kent touches the Excalibur''s de makes Valper speechless. "Quite a boring sword, I would say." Huo Yuhao applied Armament and Conqueror''s Haki into his index finger, pressuring the Excalibur with his powerful will. Huo Yuhao could hear a faint cry from the united Excalibur, which was the Voice of All Things'' effect. The holy sword is crying in sadness because the wielder was someone who didn''t deserve glory. "I''ll end your misery." Crack! CRACK!! "..." Freed. "..." Valper. "..." Kokabiel. What''s Excalibur? Excalibur is one of the four Holy Swords forged through means of magic and alchemy by those who have reached the territory of God. It''s one of the two Holy Swords wielded by the Legendary King of Britain, King Arthur Pendragon. Even though the united Excalibur is pieces of the original sword merged back together. It still holds some of Excalibur''s former power, having destruction potential beyond mortal standards. nk~! Yet, the falling metal noise echoes in the area, and everyone watches the broken upper de of the united Excalibur bounce a few times on the ground. ''Save our friend, please!'' A series of voices suddenly came to Huo Yuhao''s ears. ''We don''t wish for anything, but Yuuto deserved to live longer.'' ''He had gone through a lot!'' [Ding! You have received a quest] [Name: Wronged Children''sst wish] [Objective: Save Yuuto Kiba''s life(0/1)] [Reward: Sacred Gear: de cksmith, 5 Silver Upgrading Tickets] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Penalty: You''ll receive Heartless Bastard''s Title] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched a little when reading the penalty. He looked at the sources of the voice and located the diamond-shaped crystal on the ground, which was tossed by Valper Galilei a few moments ago. "It must be nice to have such caring friends." He used Ruler Authority and made the crystal float to him, catching it with slight amusement. "Well, I have quite a big family." "Right, everyone?" Huo Yuhao called over Tian Meng, Bing Di, Eluxia, and Helena within his spiritual sea. He could hear the Skydream Ice Worm and Ice Emperor''s denial, knowing deep down they cared for him. Eluxia is probably the most honest in the group, leaving Helena, who was still growing. [You have epted the quest] "BASTARD!!" Freed was furious because someone was breaking his new toy into two pieces. He pulled out guns from his exorcist robe and shot a barrage of bullets at Huo Yuhao. None of them even scratch Huo Yuhao''s outfit, a ssy blue suit with a white shirt and a red-orange stripe tie. BAM! BAM! BAM! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! "Reporter''s Punch." Huo Yuhao slowly balled his hand into a fist and punched Freed in the guts. BAM! COUGH! Freed coughed a mouthful of blood and sted to the barrier several hundred meters away. And because Huo Yuhao used Haki to shake his internal organs, he struggled to move and twitched like a fish out of water for a long time. "Oy, Pervertedd right there. Feed this to your blonde friend." Huo Yuhao brushed his suit to ensure no dust touched it and threw a recovery pill at Issei Hyoudou. He could have handed Senzu Beans, but remember that Issei once took a request from a weeb and debated about a Dragon Ball parody. There is also a parody character of Ash Ketchum guarding the magical forest for familiars if Huo Yuhao wasn''t wrong. Issei caught the green-looking pearl with his hand and hesitantly looked at Huo Yuhao. Even though he didn''t feel a bad intention, he couldn''t help but frown in suspicion. "Do it, Issei." Ddraig''s voicees from the Boosted Gear. "That thing in your hand is a miraculous drug and much better than Phoenix Tear." "R-Realy?" Issei returned nervously. Ddraig was annoyed with his host''s indecisiveness and answered, "Yeah, now give it to Yuuto and save him from critical condition." Issei nodded firmly after hearing the Red Dragon''s replies, running toward Yuuto with all his might because he couldn''t let Cerberus chase him. "Boost!" "Do you think I would let you go?" Kokabiel''s eyes be red because this brat named rk Kent dares to ignore his presence. He created a massive light spear andunched it at Issei. Huo Yuhao grabbed a random pebble with Ruler Authority and flicked his finger, sending the small stone with enough force to blow Kokabiel''s attack away. BOOM! "Y-YOU!" Kokabiel moved his gaze to Huo Yuhao. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Well, someone is deaf. I''ve said that my name is rk Kent." "A young reporter from Ligma Corp." As Issei fed Yuuto a Recovery Pill, Huo Yuhao heard a notification from Evo and smiled inside because the reward wasn''t too bad. [You havepleted the quest] [You have received Sacred Gear: de cksmith] [Name: de cksmith] [Type: Creation-Type Sacred Gear] [Grade: A++] [Description: de cksmith is a creation-type sacred gear with the ability to create Holy Swords based on the wielder''s imagination and will] [Warning! de cksmith couldn''t create Divine Constructs-based sword] [Do you want to form a connection with de cksmith?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao pressed Yes and waited 3 seconds for the sacred gears to appear within his soul space. Unlike the Spiritual Sea, this ce is where Huo Yuhao formed a contract with Eas six years ago. And Eas is not the only item he formed a bond with over the past six years. [Ebony Arm Shrouds] [Sky Poison Pearl] [Yeoui] [de cksmith] [Pagma Incarnation ss reacted with de cksmith] Evo said with a dull tone. [Pagma Incarnation ss synergized with de cksmith] [Toolbox(Palu)''s Advancement triggered by Pagma Incarnation ss and de cksmith] [Three existences reacted with each other] [A sub-space created through unorthodox means...] [You have attained Azure Emperor''s Vault] [Azure Emperor''s Vault is dimensional storage solely used to store all host''s creations] [All Equipment moved to Azure Emperor''s Vault] [de cksmith(A++) upgraded to de cksmith(S)] "Hehe..." "Hehehe!" Everyone watched the blue-haired young man solemnly because he oddly became quiet. A sinister chuckle escaped his mouth, which made them shiver for some reason. Except for one person, Kokabiel, who has been eyeing Huo Yuhao like he was his mortal enemy. "This humiliation..." "I''ll pay it with your life." He created several massivences made of light elements. ''Evo, show me my upgrading tickets.'' Huo Yuhao ignored Kokabiel because upgrading de cksmith is more important now. [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(79), Gold(14), tinum(1)] ''Hmm... Convert all of them to a higher grade.'' [Converting...] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(9), Gold(1), ck Gold(2), tinum(1)] "Evo, use one ck Gold Upgrading Ticket on de cksmith." [Using 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket on de cksmith] [Upgrading...] [High Roller activated] [...] "DIE!" Kokabiel bombarded the area with his attacks. The heiresses gulped in worry and created severalyers of barrier to protect themselves, hoping none of their friends would get killed by Kokabiel''s attack. Valper''splexion bes pale when seeing this scenery because he is also in the range of attack. "W-Wait! It''s not what we agreed to in the contract, Kokabiel-sama!" He yelled but received no response. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Several gigantces shook the Kuoh Academy, causing a massive earthquake and storm that swept the area in chaos. "KYAAAA!" "SAVE MY LIFE!" "NO, MY BOOB!" "I CAN''T DIE HERE. I STILL WANT MY HAREM!!" A series of terrifying voices rank in the area until a bright white light appears before their eyes. ... "What''s this light..." Rias Gremory looked at the field while squinting her eyes. "It''s warm..." Akenomented while licking her lips. "Such a holy power, but how could a devil like me wasn''t affected by it?" Gabriel was stunned on the rooftop and slowly covered her mouth in disbelief because this wasn''t just holy power. "Father, have you finally returned? The throne of heaven is waiting for you..." She whispered while tearing up a little. "This isn''t holy power," Grayfia said with a solemn expression. [de cksmith(S) upgraded to Great Apostle''s Creation(SSS)] A blue-haired young man with ssy ck-framed sses stood in the destroyed area. Weirdly, only the ground below his shoes was still intact from Kokabiel''s attack. "Ex-Caliburn." He said while lifting a sword. This sword makes every sword they have seen pale in appearance. It''s a long sword with a pure white de, gold guard, and a bluish-red handle wrapped in the finest silk. Its beauty makes Valper drop onto the floor because such a thing shouldn''t exist in this mortal world. [Dark Avenger ss was in effect] [Pagma Incarnation ss was in effect] Kokabiel was dumbfounded because the sword in the young man''s hand felt familiar. "No! There is no way!" He shouted in fear. "Where was your arrogance before, Kokabiel?" Huo Yuhao lowered the Ex-Caliburn into a shing motion. "Don''t tell me you''re afraid?" "I have never attacked you once in this encounter, but since you attacked me first..." "I''ll dly repay it." Kokabiel tried to run away because he couldn''t see a way to win against this monster. Yet, his movement was "suddenly." sealed by something. "Pagma Sword Dance: Restraint." Huo Yuhao''s sword emitted a holy aura that swept the Kuoh Academy in glorious might. Several shouts of encouragement from nature flow to him, causing the pure white de to be golden. "Kokabiel..." "Take this." "EX-CALIBURN!" Huo Yuhao swung the sword and sted a concentrated energy sh at Kokabiel, covering the sky with golden particles. BOOM! "ARRRGGGHHHH!" Chapter 106: God is Dead Chapter 106: God is Dead --- Chapter 106 --- "ARRGGGHHHHH~!!" "Oh, well. What a waste of energy." Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes and watched Kokabiel getting sted to the sky. The fallen angel is obviously injured, but Huo Yuhao doesn''t have the intention to kill him. He used Spatial Maniption to sense the area and clenched his left hand gently to create a wormhole in the sky, connecting it to another wormhole back to the Kuoh Academy. BOOM! Kokabiel entered the portal and struck the paved floor near Huo Yuhao with heavy force, causing the ground to shake slightly. He was ridden with injuries, having long diagonal cuts from his left leg to his right shoulder. The ten-winged fallen angel has a terrified look akin to facing something ridiculous and out of this world. Fear is an understatement when one looks at Kokabiel''s wet paperplexion. [Kokabiel(Heavily Injured/Fainted)] ''Killing him would be easier, but I need a lighter to trigger the three factions.'' Huo Yuhao thought while feeling the gazes of the viewer. He sighed inside and healed Kokabiel''s body, waking him up by stabbing Ex-Caliburn onto a non-vital area. After pinning the fallen angel, he wiped a non-existent sweat and said, "Phew, that makes me nervous." "I expected him to be stronger." Everyone was speechless inside when hearing Huo Yuhao because this blue-haired young man with ck-framed sses suddenly appeared and beat the living shit out of Kokabiel. Five minutes not even passed after rk Kent''s arrival, which is ridiculous because they know just how strong Kokabial was. However, the evidence is clear, and they could only swallow the fact nervously. Huo Yuhao watched Kokabiel gradually gaining his consciousness back and couldn''t help butment, "So slow..." "Oy, wake up." He kicked the poor fallen angel''s face into reality. BAM! "HAA? WHERE IS THIS? ARRGGGH!" Kokabiel shouted immediately upon feeling the pain and looked around with a panicked expression. He wanted to move away, but a long sword stabbed his stomach to the ground. "Kuugh, my body." "Morning, Ugly Princess." Huo Yuhao yawned, sitting on the Kokabial''s back like a chair. Kokabiel trembled when hearing this voice and said, "Y-You! What are you?!" The fallen angel doesn''t use "who." anymore in his question because Huo Yuhao is beyond that. He even believed this dangerous creature on his back wasn''t human and was an unknown incarnation from another pantheon. Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "How rude. We have met once in the past, you know." "Anyway, your n to spark a war between the three factions isn''t going to work with me around, Kokabiel." He lifted his sses slightly, giving Kokabiel a sneak peek into his real identity. Kokabiel''s eyes widened in shock, and he was too stunned to speak because the mysterious young man was actually the Dragon God of Destruction. His breathing bes unfixed when realizing what is about to happen to him. Huo Yuhao shrugged and noticed the barrier was getting broken by golden light. He sensed Qianye Ying''er presence a few meters away from his position, smiling because the golden-haireddy sure took her pace carefreely. "Everyone, stay on your spot." Qianye Ying''er stepped into the scene. "We are from the Vatican." Rias Gremory faced Qianye Ying''er with a frown and questioned, "Why should we do that? Kuoh City is under our jurisdiction, and you should have asked for permission to meddle with this problem." "Heh." Qianye Ying''er looked Rias from up to down, chuckling because this little girl was brave enough to act all mighty when someone was saving her ass from the sudden attack of Kokabiel. "Since you''re the governor of Kuoh City, how could you not know that someone is smuggling something like Holy Swords to this ce?" "If that gentleman over there doesn''t help you, you could have lost your precious life." She added casually. Rias clenched her hand tightly because what this young woman said was true. Her peerage couldn''t beat Kokabiel, with her knight being injured and needing help a moment ago. "Rias-Buchou..." Koneko suddenly pulled Rias''s sleeve. "Let thisdy be for now. We have to check Yuuto-senpai''s injuries first." "Also, Issei-senpai, stop being a pervert." She continued while narrowing her gold eyes at Issei, who had been eyeing Qianye Ying''er like no tomorrow. "You look creepy and disgusting." "B-But, the opp-!" Issei was about to spout something, but Akeno closed his mouth with a handkerchief before he could finish his line. Qianye Ying''er smiled at Akeno andmented, "You saved him from getting impotent. What a nice instinct you had there." The mood is extremely awkward because the two sides stare at each other silently without opening their mouths until several magic circles manifest and surround the sky with colorful lights. Grayfia and Gabriel also appear not long after that, descending slowly from the rooftop to the ground. They are actually still shaken by Ex-Caliburn''s power. ''That power is Bnce Breaker.'' Grayfia observed the Ex-Caliburn that impaled Kokabiel to the ground. And yes, that''s still half of the truth because the st might be the holy sword''s strength, but Huo Yuhao used Pagma Sword Dance''s Transcend. Transcend is a sword technique that needs excessive movement and acting, so shouting a cringe-attacking move is necessary. And Huo Yuhao did it for fun because Ex-Caliburn was his first creation with the Great Apostle''s Creation. Huo Yuhao could only me Pagma for it, but it''s not that bad. He would upgrade Pagma Sword Dances sooner orter because today''s fight inspired him about a few things. Meanwhile, Grayfia was thinking about the Ex-Caliburn''s strength. Gabriel is wandering around Huo Yuhao with curiosity in her eyes because Huo Yuhao doesn''t like his true self at all. If she didn''t see him using the magical sses, she wouldn''t be able to recognize him now. "This is amazing." The angel muttered solemnly. "Just how could sses have such a magical property?" "Also, who''s rk Kent, Father?" Huo Yuhao smiled at Gabriel and answered, "Well, he''s a reporter." "Then what about Ligma Corp?" Gabriel tilted her head innocently, which made Huo Yuhao''s smile harden because he couldn''t exin Ligma Joke to her. Even though the angels are supposed to be pure and out of mortal''s sin-inviting desire, Gabriel is a unique case because other seraphs sheltered her too much, to the point she doesn''t even know what candy is. "That''s something I made up on the spot. Don''t overthink it." He replied with a sigh. "I see..." Gabriel was somewhat disappointed, making Huo Yuhao feel bad inside. Huo Yuhao thought about something for a moment and said, "About rk Kent, we might be able to meet him in the future. It''s not impossible, considering I could travel between worlds." "Oh!" Gabriel''s eyes brightened immediately. Rias suddenly approached Grayfia and nervously asked, "Grayfia-san, what should we do?" Grayfia shook her head and replied, "Wait. Your older brother will be here soon." "And there he was." Sirzechs and other devil kings appeared in the sky, falling to the Kuoh Academy''s ground with a shocked look. At first, they can''t enter the barrier because Kokabiel uses an awkward magic form, but a bright golden light suddenly sts the top off. "Onii-Sama!" Rias shouted with a happy smile. Sirzechs waved his hand at his sister, looking around suspiciously because there was no sign of Kokabiel-. "Nevermind." He spotted Kokabiel under Huo Yuhao. Azazel also appeared with two other people from Grigory, having a dark expression as Kokabiel''s action could lead to a problematic event if no one stopped him. Let''s not talk about the war between factions because provoking Huo Yuhao was bad enough in his dictionary. "Vali, where are you staring?" Azazel noticed something was weird with the silver-haired young man. "You too, Baraqiel." He continued while looking at one of his closest friends. Vali and Baraqiel stared at Rias Gremory''s peerages solemnly for a different reason. The rough-looking fallen angel was looking at his daughter, who probably hated him for past incidents rting to his position as Fallen Angel and Himejima n. "Akeno..." Baraqiel muttered to himself. As for Lucifer''s Descendant, Vali is looking at Issei Hyoudou, the current possessor of Boosted Gear and his destined rival. "You feel it too, right? Albion?" Vali called his partner. Albion looked at the red gauntlet with the green gem on Issei''s left hand and responded, "Yeah, there was no mistake. It is Ddraig''s aura, despite being weaker than the previous host." "Maybe we should say thanks to Huo Yuhaoter for helping us to find them." Vali''s mouth twitched and grumbled, "No." "What a tsundere..." Albion rolled his eyes. "When did you learn that term!!" Vali couldn''t believe this white dragon at all. ... Qianye Ying''er looked at Valper Galilei and said, "Valper Galilei, The Vatican will put you in a sinner court soon. We shall judge your action of stealing Excalibur pieces and helping the fallen angel Kokabiel to start a great war again to end." "Well, the situation is quite tight now." She nced at the devil kings and people from Grigori. Even though the Vatican could represent heaven''s faction, Gabriel is on Huo Yuhao''s side, so she doesn''t have to meddle with troublesome partster. "This is nerve-wracking." Xenovia warily looked at the Devils and Fallen Angels. "Is this all?" "Hmm, what are you doing, Irina? Tosca?" Irina and Tosca are fellow exorcists like Xenovia, with Irina being the Excalibur wielder and Tosca being the Sacred Gear user with barrier-creating ability. "You see that pervert-looking guy right there?" Irina pointed her finger at Issei. "He''s my childhood friend." "Um, I also have a friend there. His name is Yuuto." Tosca looked at the bloodied Yuuto lying on the ground. A bright light descended from the sky, making everyone gaze at it. And saw Micheal beautifullynd on the ground with a scattering golden hue. Huo Yuhao wore off rk Kent''s sses andmented, "You''reing grandly for somee to a party." "What?! Who is this guy? Where is rk Kent?" Issei shouted without a break. Konekonded an uppercut on Issei''s chin and said, "Shut up, Issei-senpai." "..." "Anyway, everyone is here." Huo Yuhao looked at them all. "Shall we start this meeting?" "First of all..." "God is Dead." Chapter 107: Three Factions Submission Chapter 107: Three Factions Submission --- Chapter 107 --- "First of all." "God is Dead." Huo Yuhao shared the news of Biblical God''s death like it was Saturday morning. He saw everyone have different expressions, from sadness, grief, denial, and disbelief. For some people in the area, this news isn''t new and doesn''t matter to them. However, devotees such as Xenovia and Irina have their reality crumble instantly. "No, there is no way!" Xenovia shouted with all her might. "God is almighty... There is no something like this happening!" "I prayed every day..." "Sorry to break this up for you, but Biblical God passed away years ago, and Micheal has been governing heaven in his stead." Huo Yuhao replied with a dull tone. "You can ask the person himself if you don''t believe me." "Micheal-sama, please tell me he''s lying to me-! No to us..." Xenovia clutched her hands nervously because one answer would determine everything and looked at Micheal with a hopeful look. Irina grabbed Xenovia''s arm tightly because she didn''t want to hear Micheal''s answer. She is afraid of the possibility, and being ignorant is a blessing. Still, Micheal sighed in defeat because the day this was announced faster than he expected. He looked at the young believer of Biblical Teachings and answered, "Unfortunately. What Huo Yuhao said was true, God had passed away years ago." "And I''m the one who listens to your prayers every time." "You can me me for concealing the truth, and I''ll pay everything back, but chaos would unfold before everyone when knowing this truth." Xenovia and Irina dropped to the ground with paleplexion, hoping Micheal would say he was joking next. Sadly for them, Micheal never lied, even for good, because of his nature as an Archangel. "N-No way..." Xenovia couldn''t believe her ears for a moment. Even Irina couldn''t utter a word, and her soul gradually died down from spirit to life because the God who paved and led the way for her had passed away. She cried and muttered, "What should I do now?" "God is dead..." "Who would lead us to greatness?" "How weak." Huo Yuhao suddenlymented with a yawn. "God is dead, so what? You''re still alive and healthy enough to stand on your own." "Why are you waiting for him to lead you, make your path, and walk forward whether it was unknown or not?" He continued, which left everyone quiet. "Wake up to reality, little girls. Nothing ever goes as nned in this ursed world. Your only choice is to survive or be other stepping stones for their survival." Irina raised her head and saw a giant with azure sky-like eyes looking down at her. Those eyes stared at her as if she was a pitiful ant and nothing more than that. She trembled in fear and was about to ask help from God, but remembered her lord had passed away. Xenovia experienced the same things as Irina, her hand and leg trembling when witnessing the dark valley between her and Huo Yuhao. Is this her limit? They couldn''t ask for help, not help themselves before Huo Yuhao. No, they can do it. They "simply." don''t believe in themselves. Well, even the will to survive is useless without power. Still, it''s worth trying, no? Huo Yuhao sighed because they possessed weaker will than he had assumed, "Don''t give up so easily, and think about people who care for you." "W-Why are you saying something like this? What''s your reasoning? It doesn''t benefit you. Xenovia asked with a stutter. "What did you see from us?!" "The answer for that is simple, Xenovia-chan." Huo Yuhao chuckled a little at her ranting. "Because I''ll be your new ruler, I can''t let my people suffer, don''t I?" Micheal suddenly kneeled before Huo Yuhao and dered, "Heaven will be under Huo Yuhao''s control from now on. It''s thest will left behind by our father." "May the new ruler, Huo Yuhao, bless us with his generosity." Gabriel followed shortly after her brother and added, "May father bless us with his benevolence." Everyone was surprised, especially the leader of fallen angels and devil kings on the spot. They are still thinking about epting Huo Yuhao''s offer and are given one month to decide, but Heaven is actually the first faction that falls into his hands. Who would have thought the most orthodox-minded faction would surrender first? Azazel''s expression is solemn when hearing that the Biblical God left a will so that Huo Yuhao could inherit Heaven. Doesn''t that mean he also could control God''s System left behind by the father? It makes the governor-general of Grigori curious about something. ''Something, there is something special in this interaction.'' Azazel thought to himself. ''After all, someone needed a simr energy like the father to manage God''s System-.'' "Wait..." Realization kicked in a littlete for the fallen angel''s leader, making Azazel facepalm andugh at his stupidity for a moment. "Baraqiel, follow me. We will surrender Grigori to Huo Yuhao." He said with a goofy smile. Baraqiel frowned and questioned, "Are you serious? We haven''t asked Shemhazai about this, you know?" Baraqiel sighed inside and followed his friend. Even though Azazel always acts like a fool, he''s smart enough to know what''s a good decision for the future of all fallen angels. "He would be pissed, but don''t worry. He''ll also thank meter." Azazel replied while strolling to Huo Yuhao, bending his knee. "I, Azazel, as the representatives of Grigori, surrendered our faction to Huo Yuhao." "May the new ruler bless us with his sympathy and glory," Baraqiel immediately added, which made Huo Yuhao chuckle. "Take you long enough to figure it out, Azazel." Huo Yuhao heard a notification from Dragon Nest''s Management System. "Yeah." Azazel nodded his head. The only remaining faction was quiet, looking at Heaven and Grigori''s representatives with aplicated gaze. That''s because the devil faction hasn''t agreed with each other, with Old Satan and Great King Factions fighting them back for even thinking about surrender. Ajuka Beelzebub, Serafall Leviathan, and Falbium Asmodeus have decided that arguing with the Great King Faction is useless because those old fools wouldn''t listen to them. They probably listen if Huo Yuhaoes to the Underworld directly and makes them remember the dread of his existence. Sirzechs Lucifer is the only Devil King who wants to argue with those people. It has something to do with his mother being someone from Bael n, which is understandable. "You better move now," Grayfiamented while gazing at them with a t-looking expression. "The sooner you surrender to Yuhao-sama, the better benefit you getter on." "I don''t say this because I surrendered to him first." "I say this as the former Silver Guardian of Guardian Faction." They were stunned for a moment, staring at each other awkwardly. Ajuka stepped forward first because he knew devils couldn''t win against Dragon Nest in any shape or form. Serafall followed after Ajuka and wryly said, "We don''t have a choice, Sirzcehs." "Sirzechs, My grandfather still remembers the day he fought Blue-Eyed Dragon God. He shivered and cried in agony because of how terrifying Huo Yuhao was in the past." Falbium grabbed Sirzechs''s shoulder tightly. "Yes, his title alone is enough to make one tremble in fear. That kind of person is befitting to be a ruler of our current society." Falbium looked into Sirzechs''s eyes and continued, "the Great King Factions needed someone to trample them down. And I''m all for it." Because of Huo Yuhao''s existence, the devil''s race has more survivors than in the original story. All the original devil ns still have quite a member and crowd the Underworld without any problem for the past hundred years. Of course, marriage between nobles is still a culture under there to keep the bloodline pure. And no one prevents marriage between the lower noble n and high noble anymore because someone like Sirzechs Lucifer from Gremory n was born that way. His father is lucky to capture the heart of ady from the Bael n. Looking at his fellow devil kings, Sirzechs rubbed his temple slightly because he also left in a tight spot. "Onii-sama, A-Are we going to surrender too?" Rias asked with a worried expression. Sirzechs forced a gentle smile before his adorable younger sister and asked back instead, "Well... What do you think, Rias?" "I think it''s the right choice." Sona suddenly entered the conversation between the siblings. "This is necessary for the future of our peaceful generation." Lucia also butts into the conversation, "Yeah. I don''t want to imagine my n getting wiped from existence, so I''ll be on Sona''s side." "B-But..." Rias wanted to dispute, but there was nothing to argue with in the first ce. She looked down and felt a pat on her head. "Rias, leave everything to your brother." Sirzechs hugged her and walked away to Huo Yuhao. The other devil kings waited for Sirzechs, knowing Rias would be his soft spot on his final decision to save the Devil Race. Ajuka figured this out and stared at Huo Yuhao, wondering if he knew about this matter beforehand. ''Huo Yuhao summoned us here by using Grayfia Lucifuge''s call and used Kokabiel''s attack as an excuse to hasten our decision. What a terrifying person I had to serve from now on.'' Ajuka chuckled in amusement. They reached Huo Yuhao with a grave expression, causing him to narrow his eyes. "What do you want to do, Devil Kings? Are you going to ept or reject my offer?" He asked calmly. It sounded so casual like he was offering candy to them. "We, the Four Devil Kings, and the representatives of the Devil Race submitted to our new sovereign, Huo Yuhao." They said simultaneously. "Wee to the Dragon Nest." Huo Yuhao epted their pledge of loyalty. [Ding! Dragon Nest''s Management System has reached level 2] [You now could use potential scan and extra buff for member] Chapter 108: Level 2s Perks and Ophis Join the Dragon Nest Chapter 108: Level 2''s Perks and Ophis Join the Dragon Nest --- Chapter 108 --- A weekter. "Mm~!" "So nice... Keep going, Yuhao." "Aaah~!" Scathach groaned in satisfaction, making people around them blush. "You''re making me feel so good!" Huo Yuhao had a wry smile stered on his face and said, "Shishou, don''t make people misunderstand, please... After all, I''m just massaging your back." Scathach chuckled mischievously and responded, "Hehe, that''s the point, Yuhao. They should misunderstand this steamy session so that no bitch will be closer to you." "I doubt that your strategy will work, Shishou. You''re igniting the fire more than you think." Huo Yuhao sighed because women love topete for some reason. It''s not hard for him to guess what could happen next because several eyes have been peeking from the gap in the door. Scathach unknowingly started apetition between thedies in the Compound, mainly Ying''er and otherdies from this world. Huo Yuhao knew his lovely teacher was a little petty for his affection, which made her cuter somehow. Still, At least no one was injured yet. Healthy rivalry is fine, but Huo Yuhao does hope the Yanderes wouldn''t kill anyone out of spite. Even though he might sound like a hypocrite, life is precious and befall bad karma on people who have taken it. He doesn''t want to see them have negative karma because of him. That would be stupid, no? "Fine." Looking at Huo Yuhao''s expression, Scathach pouted and covered her face with a towel. "I''ll stop ying around." "Thanks." Huo Yuhao gave her a peck on the nape. "Hmph!" Scathach swayed her head, ending up kissing Huo Yuhao in the end. [Potential Scanned] [Name: Scathach] [Age: 13/Immortal(mentally older)] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Paths: Spear User(Lancer), True Blood Master, Asura, and Great Pugilist, +12] Huo Yuhao parted from Scathach''s lips, feeling her purple head rest on his chest. He patted her gently and looked at the system panel with aplicated gaze. After the three factions submit to Dragon Nest or personally him, the Dragon Nest Management System somehow reaches level 2. It allowed him to see potential and rmended a path, helping Dragon Nest''s members to reach their maximum potential. Of course, Huo Yuhao shouldn''t forget another function given by the Dragon Nest Management System Lv2. Extra Buff that boosts the growth of Dragon Nest''s members and helps them adapt to their potential to obtain the maximum result. [Scathach(Buffed)] [Recovery Speed +20%] [Growth Speed +20%] [Mental Immunity +20%] [The Buff Effect would increase every time the Dragon Nest Management System leveled up, upgrading the member''s overall stats hidden or not to another level] [The Buffsted permanently as long as the Dragon Nest Management System acknowledged the individual as a Dragon Nest member] "Nice." Huo Yuhaomented with a smile. "What nice?" Scathach covered her breast with a towel. Huo Yuhao suddenly rubbed something below with a yful smirk, making Scathach blush slightly. "This." He answered casually. Scathach looked at Huo Yuhao''s hand caressing her ass and bit her lips because she wanted to do it again. Maybe her sexual drive is higher than usual, but being marked as a Divine Dragon''s mate always makes her remember their first night. "Do you like my ass that badly?" Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Hehe, yes." "Hmph, what a Pervert." Scathach huffed with a fake annoyance while sitting on Huo Yuhao''sp. "But at least you''re my pervert~." ... ... Huo Yuhao stretched his neck and walked to the vast training field with a bored expression. Even though he hasn''t neglected his training in any shape or form, the restriction ced by the seal started to be bearable to him. By stressing his physical body and energy to ufortable degrees with Restriction Runes, he unorthodoxly achieved a level exceeding his cultivation realm. People who reached level 99 on Spirit Rank were known as the Demi-God in the Cultivation Ladder of Douluo Dalu''s universe, but they were far from being God. And yet, Huo Yuhao is a unique case because Eluxia believed his overall stats were close to a God in quality. "Well, adding additional seals would make me feel better." He said while lifting his training shirt, looking at the red ouroboros pattern on his left chest. There are 42 segments, including the head, which means he has 42 seals on him now. "Hmm, I don''t remember giving you my snake?" A confused voice echoed in the field. Huo Yuhao immediately nced to the side and saw Ophis sitting above a rock, supporting her chin with those slender hands. He shook his head and answered, "This isn''t your snake, Ophis. The design might be simr, but these are my restriction seals, which helped me to be stronger." "Help you be stronger?" Ophis was even more confused when hearing that. The concept of getting stronger was alien to her because an entity like her and Baka Red was strong from the beginning. "Why Training? You''re strong already." Huo Yuhao flicked his fingers and pulled Ophis into the Azure Emperor''s Vault, which at first nce is simr to a certain archer''s reality marble but with a beautiful azure sky and white clouds. Thend literally is also filled with lush green grass and several clear ponds. "Ophis, watch this." He breathed in and used Universal Breathing Technique, igniting Spirit Circuits with enormous spirit energy. A burst of power exploded from Huo Yuhao''s body, covering the area with a ssy white aura. BOOM! Ophis stared at Huo Yuhao without blinking, noticing his strength reach the limit of the mortal. Then her eyes squinted slightly because the "snake." tattoo on his chest glowed dimly. BOOM! "42 Seals Off." All the ouroboros segments on Huo Yuhao''s chest released a dim light, causing his overall strength to explode rapidly. BOOOOM! "This is..." Ophis''s eyes widened because Huo Yuhao''s current strength was far "stronger." than her peak and Baka Redbined. Even if all the gods united to fight him, she doubted they could win against him. And it''s just in terms of raw strength, not to mention their innate ability such as infinity, dream, and divinity from other pantheons. Ophis could only recall a few names across this world, but they were still far from reaching the blue-haired monster''s level before her. "Is this the result of the training?" She curiously muttered to herself. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao sighed in disappointment because this level of strength wasn''t close to his previous assumption. He clenched his hand a few times to test the water and shook his head because he was close to God King''s strength but felt so far from it. "So close yet so far." Hemented while sealing his strength again. Eluxia observed the changes within Huo Yuhao from inside and out silently. ''Your spiritual sea is close to the Divine Origin Realm, Yuhao.'' Shemented solemnly. ''You needed a small push to reach that stage... Just a little push.'' ''It''s just the tip~!'' Tian Meng suddenly said, which gained a p from Bing Di''s tail. ''Don''t change the mood with your perverted nature, stupid worm!'' Bing Di coldly stared at Tian Meng. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "I hope so, teacher Eluxia. I''ve been in the Spirit Domain Realm for a few months now." "Maybe adding another seal will help, to be honest." "Aih... There are so many things to fix and improve too." It''s embarrassing to say this, but Huo Yuhao has been hitting a thick barrier in his ability mastery. With Spatial Maniption being the hardest to improve in the past six years. You might think something like Divine-Negation, Ability-Negation, Death Maniption, or Earth Maniption would be the hardest. But no, Spatial Maniption is the hardest to improve for Huo Yuhao because it was his 1st spirit skill and possessed so many branches to learn. "It''s not as simple as bending space with your will." He makes a mental note to explore more Spatial Maniptionter. He wanted to utilize everything he had to the maximum potential. Huo Yuhao stopped using the Universal Breathing Technique, deactivating the Azure Emperor Vault. He blinked rapidly because so much information shed in his head about this new storage, which was actually not just a sub-dimension to store weapons. "Yuhao, teach me!" Ophis suddenly pulled his hand. "Teach me to be stronger!" Even though she sounded excited, her expression was t as stone. Huo Yuhao chuckled and asked back, "You mean training?" Ophis tilted her head cluelessly and responded, "Is there a difference?" "No." Huo Yuhao patted Ophis''s adorable head gently and told her about the restriction runes, to which she silently listened with an eager aura around her. ''What''s this cute dragon from?'' He thought while feeding her candy. After exining everything, Ophis pondered for a moment and asked, "I see, so can you ce Restriction Runes on me?" "Sure." Huo Yuhao lifted his finger and drew several characters that bound together. "Do you have a favorite color?" Ophis stared at Huo Yuhao''s royal blue eyes and answered, "Royal Blue. I want a royal blue seal." Huo Yuhao finished the Rune Casting onto Ophis''s body, stering the Rune on her shoulder. It''s simr to his ouroboros dragon''s seal but just blue instead of red/crimson. "It feels weird, warm, and cold for some reason." Ophis moved around with a puzzled expression. Even though she couldn''t find anything, her strength was sealed and squeezed by the seal. "Uuh... That''s refreshing." Huo Yuhao added two more segments for himself, making 44 seals total. "Oh yeah, Ophis. Do you want to join Dragon Nest?" "I''ll give you an allowance like Heart-Calming Candy every week." Ophis brushed the offer but was interested when hearing the allowance part as her eyes glowed with excitement. "Candy... Sure, I''ll join." She said firmly. [Ophis, The Ouroboros Dragon, has joined the Dragon Nest] Evo notified Huo Yuhao with a dull tone. [Potential Scan...] [Name: Ophis] [Age: Ageless] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Paths: True Dragon Queen, Infinite Aura Master, Battle Mage, and Huo Yuhao''s Wife] "..." Huo Yuhao. Chapter 109: Teaching Ophis and A Flag? Chapter 109: Teaching Ophis and A g? --- Chapter 109 --- Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in disbelief, looking at Ophis''s potential page with aplicated expression. Even though he believed the Dragon Nest Management System wouldn''t judge someone''s potential wrongly, still the rmended paths look awfully suspicious. ''Evo, is there an error with the management system?'' He couldn''t help but ask Evo. [No error detected, host] Evo answered with a monotonous tone. [Even the God yer, Scathach, has the same rmendation path as Ophis. You haven''t checked them all up before] [Do you want me to show you?] Huo Yuhao sighed and replied, ''sure.'' [Name: Scathach] [Age: 13/Immortal(Mentally older)] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Paths: Spear User(Lancer), True Blood Master, Asura, Great Pugilist, Grand Lancer, Vampire Queen, Martial Queen, Great Caster, Primordial Rune Grandmaster, Battle Mage, Unorthodox Vampire Dragon Queen, Blood Dragon Warrior, True God yer, Heaven Piercer Lancer, The Queen of Underworld, Huo Yuhao''s Wife] Huo Yuhao scanned the rmended paths with a wry smile because Shishou sure has vast potential to be all of these sses. The first four sses were mastered by her already, leaving the other 12 in question. Well, thest one is pretty self-exnatory. "Wife, huh?" Even though Huo Yuhao considered Scathach his life partner when giving her the engagement ring. Still, making her his wife is a bigmitment. Of course, he would marry her dly when everything is under control, but everything isn''t at the level where he could befortable and fool around all day. Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered Huo Yun''er and mumbled, "Marry... I wonder what Mom is doing right now?" "Wife? Marry?" Ophis''s voice suddenly entered his ears. "Yuhao wanted to marry me?" Huo Yuhao looked down, blinking a few times because Ophis somehow concluded something on her own with just two words in his mouth. She has the usual t expression and is probably clueless about her statement. "Why do you think so, Ophis?" He asked naturally. Ophis tilted her head and looked around, silently searching for someone else on the training ground. "Because I''m the only one around here." She replied while looking at him. "I don''t mind marrying you, but you have to kick Baka Red away from the dimensional gap." She added, which left Huo Yuhao speechless for a moment. Huo Yuhao chuckled in defeat because someone like Ophis is beyond fixing, but he didn''t mind her because the ouroboros dragon looked adorable with that "I had no idea." expression. "I''ll keep those words in mind, Ophis." He patted her head again. Ophis enjoyed the patting and remembered her goals here. She lifted the small pouch tied by a chain around her neck, showing the artifact storage was empty of candies. Huo Yuhao smiled andmented, "So you areing here because you ran out of candy?" She nodded and responded, "No candy, no fun..." "It ran out too quickly... The precious candy." Huo Yuhao shook his head because the pouch had at least 100.000 pills with different effects (mainly to increase spiritual energy) and vors. And Ophis gobble them up in just a month, which should be enough to make people under Spirit Saint Realm overdose and lose their minds. ''Being an infinity dragon sure is convenient.'' He thought while trying to check Ophis''s spiritual sea. After a brief examination, he discovered that Ophis had developed a small spiritual sea and liking to pills or anything sweet. In Huo Yuhao''s eyes, Ophis''s innocence is no different than Gabriel''s because they possess a simr degree of ignorance. Yet, While Gabriel''s ignorancees from her getting sheltered by other archangels, Ophis "simply." doesn''t put her mind on anything else besides the dimensional gap. He filled Ophis''s pouch with another batch of sweet pills and told her to watch him training on the side. Like a squirrel, Ophis sat on the rock and chewed her favorite delight with glowing eyes. Huo Yuhao summoned his 6th-ss magic circle and cast Chaos God yer Magic on himself, pressuring himself with extreme gravity without affecting the surroundings. He circted his spirit energy with the Universal Breathing Technique and started to do 100 sets of push-ups, sit-ups, and squats. It was enough warm-up because his body hadn''t pushed to the limit after reaching this world. After an hour, he breathed heavily because of the restriction runes on his seals. When adding two more seals, Huo Yuhao squished his strength and energy into someone at Spirit Sage''s level. His overall realms appeared to be lower, and his physical strength might be weaker than usual, but after he adapted everything, he''ll be able to reach his original realm easily. Huo Yuhao''s seal doesn''t just work as power sealing but also as energy storage because every time he adds a new seal, his energy core will get drained and expanded, adding another deep to it. "Hmm?" Ophis felt threatened for some reason. She enjoyed the pill in her mouth and saw Huo Yuhao pulling a in-looking stone staff from thin air. "That weapon felt so ominous..." "What''s this sensation? It feels like another dragon god is living here." "Is the staff?" ''Yeoui.'' Huo Yuhao looked at the staff in his hand, feeling the roughness from the weapon made of Ogre''s hip bones. Even though he hadn''tpleted the God of Highschool''s Manhwa, he knew enough about this world. Well, Huo Yuhao died before knowing the ending. He also doesn''t have free time because many annoying stalkers from different countries want his life. "Let''s stop thinking about that and focus on something else first." Huo Yuhao gripped the staff and closed his eyes, taking a step forward gently. He thrust the air and tried to control his strength from creating a shockwave. What makes Yeoui deadly is the extreme weight, size alteration, and the amount of force he could generate with it, making this staff the most dangerous blunt weapon. Huo Yuhao has several ideas to abuse Yeoui with spin he learned from Eluxia. If he could generate enough centrifugal force with spin, breaking someone''s defense would be easy. Unless his enemy has an impact negation/nullification, he would always be the winner in physical strength. Ophis watched Huo Yuhao swing Yeoui around, adjusting an error, and controlling the weapon''s weight from destroying the training ground. One tiny blunder was enough to create a massive earthquake and destroy thepound. "Amazing... He tamed the wild staff." Ophis''s eyes widened for a moment. "Do you want to try?" Huo Yuhao stopped and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his shirt. He created a copy of Yeoui with a simple thought because this was part of the staff''s ability. Despite not having the durability and heaviness of the original, the "copy." has a simr ability. It should be enough to teach Ophis to control her power after getting restricted by the seal. Ophis ran toward Huo Yuhao and nced at the copy meticulously. She grabbed the staff and felt the heaviness, frowning because a mere stone-looking thing is so hard to lift. "Heavy... I like it." Shemented while waving it around. The amount of shockwaves Ophis generates makes Huo Yuhao''s mouth gape in awe. "I''ve created a monster." Hemented while stopping the staff from destroying this ce. BAM! He grabbed the staff and said, "Ophis, you need to promise something first. Don''t randomly use the staff, okay? It''s a dangerous weapon that could tten this easily." "Especially when you are waving it around like that." "Okay." Ophis nodded while turning the staff into a stick to match her size. "Then, Teach me how to use this properly?" "Copy my movement and listen to my instructions." Huo Yuhao said while stepping a few meters away. Huo Yuhao taught Ophis how to handle staff and exined several styles, usage, andbinations she could use against the enemy in different scenarios. Oddly, Ophis learned faster than Huo Yuhao expected and absorbed the knowledge he imparted to her in a sh. A being that is born strong finally learns how to fight appropriately. [You have taught Ophis how to fight] [You have epted a disciple] [You have gained the title "Young Teacher." from this achievement] [Effect: Disciple''s Learning speed +25%] "That''s convenient." Huo Yuhaomented while observing Ophis''s movements. "Hmm..." Ophis smiled because swinging this bo staff was more fun than she assumed because the heaviness helped her to feel something odd. She had never felt pressure in her entire life, and even when fighting Baka Red, she only wanted her home back. Of course, she doesn''t detect noticeable changes in her overall strength, but something is changing. And that change happened because of Huo Yuhao. [Ophis''s Loyalty has increased] [Ding! You have triggered a hidden quest] [Name: Ophis''s True Strength] [Objective: Find a reason why Ophis lost her power(0/1)] [Reward: 15 Silver Upgrading Tickets] [Penalty: None] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao epted the quest immediately. "Ophis,e here." Ophis stopped waving her staff around and responded, "Why did you call me?" "I won''t give your candy back." Huo Yuhao felt the defensive toneing from her and chuckled, "Don''t worry, I won''t take the candy back." "I just want to ask something." "Someone stole your power, right? Do you remember the person who did it?" "Oh yeah... Rivezim asked for a portion of my power, so I gave him a little over 1/4 of my full power because he told me Baka Red would get defeated with it." Ophis answered casually. [You have finished the quest] [Rewarding 15 Silver Upgrading Tickets] [You triggered a chain quest] [Name: Restore Loli Dragon''s Power] [Objective: Return Ophis''s original power(0/1)] [Reward: 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket and World Travelling Ticket''s Pieces(1/4)] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] "..." Huo Yuhao was too stunned to speak. "Is this a fucking g??" Chapter 110: Testing Grayfias Spirit Skill Chapter 110: Testing Grayfia''s Spirit Skill --- Chapter 110 --- After teaching Ophis some moves and warning her not to wave Yeoui''s copy recklessly, Huo Yuhao stretched his body once more and cooled down his body. "You''re having fun without me?" Scathach''s purple hair suddenly hangs beside him. A refreshing beverage wrapped in a ss bottle touched his cheek, making him smile a little. Huo Yuhao grabbed the drink and replied, "Well, after fighting you a week ago, I''m just warming up the rusty gear. Nothing special." "Thanks for the drink, though." "Nothing fun, huh?" Scathachmented back. She moved her gaze to Ophis on the training ground, watching the ouroboros dragon with an impressed look. At first nce, Scathach could see that Ophis is aplete amateur when handling a weapon like a bo staff. Her movement is also awkward, but considering her teeny build, that''s quite normal. Of course, what made Scathach surprised isn''t that. "Copying one''s movements isn''t easy." "She copied everyst bit of your movement but added "Clumsy." charm on those deadly attacks without losing the basic stance." Scathach smiled curiously and added, "Interesting. It''s like a child ying with a stick, but one strike was enough to kill a veteran fighter off guard into meat paste." Yes, Ophis swung Yeoui''s copy with a simr movement to Huo Yuhao, and Scathach could see that well. And how cluelessly waving her hand in an unfixed pattern, Ophis unknowingly bes a walking disaster if no one controls her. "You applied Restriction Runes on her?" Scathach asked, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. "Heh, then she would be a worth-teaching candidate." "I''ll take over from now on. Go y with your maids and little angel." "Be gentle." Huo Yuhao warned them because the training field couldn''t withstand a fight between God yer and the Ouroboros Dragon. He could sense Scathach''s amusement, hoping she doesn''t injure herself by unsealing her power. Even though Scathach''s power is third in the Dragon Nest, her body hasn''t recovered to the top condition after their fight in the pocket dimension a week ago. After all, Scathach used a lot of energy to revive herself. Huo Yuhao casually walked out of the training ground and looked at the blue morning sky. "Restore Ophis''s Power and World Travelling Ticket''s Pieces." He shook his head because the fucking g wasing out of nowhere. "Yuhao-sama?" Grayfia suddenly teleported herself to Huo Yuhao, bringing a clean towel for him. "Why are you standing alone like that?" She asked curiously. "Just thinking about something. Is that for me?" Huo Yuhao returned while looking at the towel. Grayfia nodded and handed the towel to him, "Ying''er said you are training." "You''re such a good maid, Grayfia." Huo Yuhao praised her for being so thoughtful. He wrapped the towel around his neck and told her to follow him. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, simple praise was enough to make the silver-haired maid happy. Grayfia maintained her stone-cold expression, but she rolled around and punched her hands in the excitement in her head. ''Yuhao-sama is praising me~!'' ''Yuhao-sama is praising me~!'' ''Yuhao-sama is praising me~!!!'' [Grayfia Lucifuge''s Loyalty has increased] "Oh yeah, how is your progress?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked. Grayfia was stunned for a moment and answered nervously, "W-Well, I''m doing fine on my cultivation." " Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "Be honest with me, Grayfia. Ask me if you need help because your condition is special, even in Douluo Dalu''s Universe. I''m sure having twin martial souls makes you confused about what you should develop first, no?" [Name: Grayfia Lucifuge] [Age: 203 years old] [Potential: SSS Rank] [Rmended Paths: Battle Maid, Time-Space Gunslinger, True Devil Queen, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] Huo Yuhao could only smile when reading Grayfia''s rmended paths and look at the silver-haired maid with some expectation. With her base power equal to Hyper Douluo, she could grow stronger beyond the standard stage of Douluo Dalu''s Universe. ... ... In a park, Huo Yuhao told Grayfia to show her overall progress after one week of Martial Soul Awakening. He sat on a wooden bench and watched the silver-haired devil summon a pair of handguns with one red spirit ring floating around her waist. ''I did give her some rune stone with a simr attribute, but to think she was absorbing the essence and aging her 99.690 years old spirit ring is surprising.'' Huo Yuhao thought while observing Grayfia''s spirit ring. In most scenarios, Spirit Masters couldn''t even age their spirit rings, but only some people were lucky enough to get theirs reced with new ones in God Trials. With the Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon, Huo Yuhao bypassed this rule because the monster spawned within the dungeons works as a farmable essence/experience to age one''s spirit energy. Even though people could age their spirit rings with rune stones that hold Dungeon Monster''s essence, it is inefficientpared to farming/grinding the existing monster in the dungeon. Not to mention aging was limited by the Spirit Master''s aptitude and the rune stone''s quality. "Even the most genius student in the Dragon Nest Academy could only absorb 80% of the essence, which is understandable because the essence inside the rune stone couldn''t stay for too long after being released back." "Well, Ying''er is an exception." "But you''re amazing, Grayfia." Huo Yuhao opened Grayfia''s status and checked her spirit ring''s description. [Name: Propator] [1st Spirit Ring: Temporal Devil Eagle] [Name: Temporal Devil Hawk] [Type: Spirit Ring] [Age: 196.690 years old] [Description: Temporal Devil Eagle is the only breed between Temporal Eagle and Devil Hawk, having devilish nature and powerful time attributes from Temporal Eagle. It''s a rare spirit beast that could only appear once in Decamillennium] [Spirit Skills: Time Maniption, Temporal Eyes] Since Time Maniption isn''t a new skill to Huo Yuhao because he and Ke from the White room possessed it too, he focused on Temporal Eyes more. [Temporal Eyes] [A spirit skill to see time passage, allowing the user to glimpse into distant past, present, and possible future] "Damn, but I haven''t seen its full potential." Huo Yuhao covered his mouth in awe, making the maid confused. He turned around with his back facing Grayfia and said, "Grayfia, can you use your Temporal Eyes?" "Eh?" Grayfia was shocked but nodded anyway. Her eyes glowed with a silverish glow and released a horrible ck hue. Huo Yuhao smiled and added, "I''ll test the limit of your ability, Grayfia. I wanted to see how much you could see into the future." "For the next hour, You''ll guess words that were going toe from my mouth. Are you ready?" "I''m ready, Yuhao-sama!" Grayfia answered eagerly. "Then, let''s do this..." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and used Observation Haki. It is different between seeing the future and the possible future because Grayfia''s spirit skill allows her to witness the "various." possible results. ... ... One hourter, Grayfia breathed heavily and sat on the bench beside Huo Yuhao with a tired expression. "After testing, we know your limit is 5 minutes into the future, and when a variable happened, you could predict at least ten oues. Mm, this spirit skill is such a blessing for you." "Good job, Fia." Huo Yuhao said while patting her head. "Fia..?" Grayfia was still exhausted, so her voice sounded rougher or huskier. It makes her sexier for some reason, especially with those sweats glistening from her forehead to her neck and cleavage. Ehem! Huo Yuhao faked a cough and continued, "It''s a nickname. I won''t call you Fia if you don''t like it." Grayfia''s eyes widened when hearing that, having a smile blooming on her beautiful face. "I like it... I like it, Huo Yuhao-sama! Please call me Fia from now on." She excitedly grabbed his hand and squished it between her breasts. Her face is literally one inch away from Huo Yuhao''s, making their position somewhat awkward. After all, she sat on Huo Yuhao''sp like a cowgirl. ''Yuhao, are you sure you want to conquer this world, not thesedies'' hearts?'' Tian Meng suddenly questioned with a suspicious look on her face. Bing Di and Eluxia didn''t say anything but had the same expression as the Sky Dream Ice Worm. Huo Yuhao shook his head and wryly responded, ''It''s not like that. Do you think I''m a pervert who only thinks about catching women left and right?'' ''YES.'' 3x. "..." Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao-sama?" Grayfia''s soft breath touch his neck. Huo Yuhao ignored his contracted souls and answered, "Yes, Fia?" Grayfia blushed hard and said, "C-Can I..." "Can I cook for you?" Huo Yuhao was expecting something more and felt disappointed when hearing her request, but this was more than enough with their current rtionship. "Sure, I have so many times on my side." Huo Yuhaoughed in amusement. "I hope you can satisfy me, Fia." Grayfia doesn''t catch the meaning behind Huo Yuhao''s words because she is exhausted. Still, her spirit burned like a fiery sun. "Mm, leave it to me, Yuhao-sama~!" Chapter 111: Jealous Azazel and Black Goat Chapter 111: Jealous Azazel and ck Goat --- Chapter 111 --- Dragon Nest Compound, Grayfia''s House. Huo Yuhao sat at the dining table with an amused expression because Grayfia Lucifuge, or what people formerly known as the Silver Guardian, was wearing an apron and cooking for him. Devils in the underworld would lose their minds when looking at this. "What a lucky bastard you are, Yuhao." Huo Yuhao nced at the front door and saw Azazel leaning on the door frame. The fallen angel has a jealous expression on his face because of Grayfia in the kitchen. Grayfia frowned while frying a nicely seasoned fish filet and questioned indifferently, "What do you want, Azazel?" "Yuhao-sama is busy, so he doesn''t have time for your useless chatter." "Also, watch your tone..." Her eyes pierced Azazel, making the fallen angel feel attacked inside. "Damn... Cold." Azazel brushed off the threatsing from Grayfia because he knew Huo Yuhao didn''t mind the yful jokes. He shook his head and sat beside his new ruler. "I''m here to discuss something with him, so can you stop ring at me like that?" He dodged Grayfia''s cold gaze. Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement andmented, "Leave Azazel be, Fia. That fish almost cooked well there, and you don''t want to burn it down, right?" "Ah!" Grayfia panicked and flipped the fish filet. Returning attention to Azazel, Huo Yuhao grabbed the ss of water prepared beforehand by Grayfia and asked, "So, what discussions do you have to bring to me?" "I..." Azazel was speechless inside at how easily Huo Yuhao redirected Grayfia''s attention. "Well, It''s about Grigori." "Even though we surrendered to Dragon Nest, some members still have no idea about this. Shemhazai, one of my fallen angel friends, was even confused with my decisions." "I know this sounds repetitive, but they wanted to meet you first. Some members of Grigori aren''t fallen angels because I took humans with sacred gears under our faction too." He sighed and added, "Not to mention, we still have bad rtions with devils in the past three years because Kokabiel created a mess left and right without me knowing." "And it won''t get fixed anytime soon." "Meeting them wouldn''t be a problem." Huo Yuhao immediately answered after chugging the water. "About the rtionship with fallen angels and devils, I''ll settle the matter when visiting the underworld. After all, we have been imprisoned and soon will judge Kokabiel''s action." He looked into Azazel''s eyes and said, "You don''t have a problem with execution, no?" Hearing how casually Huo Yuhao spouted things makes Azazel wonder what kind of word this blue-haired creature lived in all this time. And Even though killing isn''t new to Azazel, he couldn''tpare himself to Huo Yuhao in the slightest. Heughed in defeat and replied, "Haha... I can''t even fight your decision, Yuhao." "Just who are you?" "I''ve been wondering for more than a hundred years because no history ever recorded you before your first appearance in the Great War. As if you appeared out of thin air and decided to start sting that horrible war." "Are you Alien? You know,ing to this world to conquer it?" "..." Huo Yuhao. "In a way, you''re not wrong, Azazel." Huo Yuhao could only smile because people started to find out the truth after digging for more information about his appearance before the Great War. Of course, it doesn''t exist, so the only possible answer is that he''s an outsider. "However, I''m not an alien. I''m from another world." Azazel''s eyes widened, "WHAT THE FUCK!" "Azazel! Language!" Grayfia sternly said from the kitchen. "S-Sorry, Ma''am." Azazel reacted weirdly because this information would strike every faction''s heart. A shocking discovery that Huo Yuhao, the Blue-Eyed Dragon God, is a being from another world. It exined everything. When Azazel means everything, he means it. Huo Yuhao always confused him with the abilities he had shown in the Great War and thest week. They aren''t abilities from this world, especially with the boundary Biblical God has ced for years. "Fuck, I feel like a fool." He mumbled to himself. "Don''t tell me you''re Isekai Protagonist, Yuhao?" Huo Yuhao yed a clueless character and returned, "Isekai? What''s that? My world doesn''t have such a term, Azazel." "Are you sure?" Azazel could feel something was off. Huo Yuhao shrugged and exined the basics of Douluo Dalu''s universe to Azazel, blowing the fallen angel''s mind out of the simple story about how Douluo Dalu got created. "Holy Shit..." Azazel couldn''t believe his ears for a moment. "I know it, I fucking know it. Your world is Xianxia World!" Azazel bes excited because he has read several eastern fantasy novels about cultivation, and some of them are meh for his taste, not going to lie. Still, some stories are fantastic in describing world-building and power. The scale of destruction those cultivate could also be insanepared to this world. [Azazel''s Loyalty has increased] "Don''t get too excited." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at Azazel''s reaction. "I can''t bring you there until Ipletely conquer this world. We still have many things to check out because other gods wouldn''t like my ambition to control this world, after all." "I see..." Azazel was disappointed. "So what do you want to do after this?" "Fia. I need you to schedule a meeting with Great King Factions in the underworld and search for Rivezim Livan Lucifer''s location." Huo Yuhao responded, to which the maid responded with a nod. Even though Rizevim was rted to Khaos Brigade, Ophis said he wasn''t always in the organization and only attended meetings when it benefited him. He, The only child of Original Lucifer, is hiding somewhere else in this world. "I''ll take over the devils as soon as possible, leaving the Old Satan Faction alone with Khaos Brigade." "Wait, wait. Why did that Terrorist Organization suddenly enter the conversation?" Azazel interrupted Huo Yuhao''s statement, making Grayfia frown slightly. "Because they are connected." Huo Yuhao answered Azazel''s question. "Do you think the current spawn of original devil kings is strong enough to fight the current Devil Kings? Sorry to break it for you, but even Grayfia before Spirit Awakening is stronger than Sirzechs Lucifer." "ording to Grayfia herself, the original devil kings'' descendant or old satan faction is always on the weaker side." "Is that true?" Azazel gazed at Grayfia. Grayfia finished garnishing her dishes and replied, "They are a group of ants who only think about conquering the world without the power to back them up. If what Yuhao-sama said is correct, I''d even be surprised that they were given a hand from the Khaos Brigade." "How nonchnt..." Azazel whispered while smelling something good behind the counter. His eyes brightened, wondering what kind of food the silver guardian cooked there. Grayfia brought a tray filled with food to the dining table, cing tes near Huo Yuhao. She sighed in relief because everything went well, and nothing burned. "Can I get one too?" Azazel pleaded with a hopeful expression. Grayfia somehow smiled and replied, "Go die." "How cruel..." The leader of the fallen angel slumped his head on the dinner table. "Yuhao-sama, may I feed you~?" She faced Huo Yuhao and changed her tone instantly, causing Azazel to open his mouth in disbelief. ''Is this really the cold silver guardian of the underworld, I know??'' Azazel couldn''t help but question the reality. How could the cold-blooded devil who guarded the devils in thest 100 years act this gently and cutely? Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Sure." Grayfia''s beautiful face beamed as she carefully picked a spoon and fed Huo Yuhao cooked salmon. "Yuhao-sama, Aaah~!" She said adorably. Huo Yuhao smiled and opened his mouth, tasting Grayfia''s food for the first time. And his first thought was, "Impressive." "You''re better than I thought." "I might have you cook for me daily." He praised her while chewing the salmon. It''s soft and falls apart in his mouth, having a bnced seasoning that doesn''t overpower the fish taste. "Next." Grayfia felt extremely happy and responded, "Yes, Yuhao-sama~!" ... ... After tasting Grayfia''s food, Huo Yuhao is honestly surprised by her cooking skill because the world has changed tremendously because of his past actions, so she shouldn''t have skills rted to this. However, the maid proves him wrong. "Thanks for the food." Huo Yuhao smiled at Grayfia. "Kuuh..." Azazel grumbled on the side. Huo Yuhao had to admit that he forgot the fallen angel was still here because Grayfia swayed his perception for a moment. "Hmm, you''re still here?" Azazel was annoyed and yelled, "Of course, I''m still fucking here, you lucky bastard... I''m SO JEALOUS~!!" "Haha, my bad." Huo Yuhao chuckled helplessly. [Azazel''s Loyalty has increased] [You now could awaken Azazel''s Martial Soul] Azazel dropped his head and suddenly shouted even louder, "Boss-! I mean, Senior! Please teach this junior how to conquer a woman like Grayfia." "..." Huo Yuhao. "There is no such skill... You only have to be charismatic enough." Azazel was taken aback and said, "Shit! Do you expect me to be ridiculously handsome in one night?" "I mean..." Huo Yuhao shrugged and pointed at his face. "..." Azazel. Huo Yuhao ignored Azazel''s stone face and said, "Well, I could awaken your martial soul, though." "Grayfia and Gabriel got their martial souls awakenedst week." "Eh, I can? Really?" Azazel excitedly responded. "Yes, now get away from my face!" Huo Yuhao kicked Azazel away because he only likes Milf and cute girls. [Do you want to awaken Azazel''s Martial Soul?] [Yes/No] "There would be an "Iing." little pain." Huo Yuhao pressed "Yes." and watched Azazel''s face warp in agony, shrieking like a dying crow on the floor. "ARGH!!" Azazel clenched his fist. What''s iing? He felt it already. [Azazel has awakened "ck Goat." martial soul] "Bee~!" A small ck goat around the height of Azazel''s calf appeared in the dining room. "This is... A Goat?" Azazel looked down at the goat with aplicated expression. [Name: ck Goat(None)] [Gender: Female] [Type: Martial Soul/Summoning Beast] [Grade: SS] [Description: An unknown ck goat with a great affinity toward darkness and casualty, having a thin bloodline of a higher demon from another dimension] Huo Yuhao was startled andmented, "Oh, it''s a rare type of martial soul. It has its own intellect." "It''s Beast type, but more than that." "Hmm... Not bad." "What do you mean not bad? It''s just a goat??" Azazel was speechless. "Wait, what''s your martial soul, Grayfia?" Grayfia tilted her head and summoned one of her handguns, which caused Azazel''s mouth to twitch in disbelief. "This is unfair, she got a magical gun, and I got a fucking goat," Azazelined while feeling weird energy flowing in his vein. "Oy, don''t disrespect a martial soul like that. Even a trash martial soul could be powerful with the right development, and yours had intellect, which is even rarer than Grayfia''s martial soul." Huo Yuhao is lost in Azazel''s reaction, watching the ck goat''s expression darken when this host insults her. "BEE~!!" The ck goat jump-kicked Azazel in the guts. BAM! BOOM! "Holy shit." Huo Yuhao watched the bizarre scene before him with a surprised gaze. "Bee~!" The ck goat huffed and swayed her head. Azazel was struck into the wall and muttered, "How could a goat be this powerful?" "Hmm??" He suddenly felt a chill in his spine. "My house..." Grayfia grabbed Azazel''s head with her hand. "Fix it." "Y-Yes, Ma''am!" Azazel felt the death god choking his neck. Huo Yuhao sat back on the seat and said, "Aih... Nothing is normal around me." Chapter 112: An Incoming Meeting in the Underworld Chapter 112: An Iing Meeting in the Underworld --- Chapter 112 --- Dragon Nest Compound, Grayfia''s House Backyard. "Is this the item called "Rune Stone?" rumored from the Dragon Nest?" Azazel carefully grabbed a ck-marked Rune Stone from the table and felt enormous yet wild energying from it. He had never felt such a weird sensation before. As if this wasing from another world. He sighed andmented, "What am I even thinking? Of course, it''s from another world." "Still, Runic Magic exists there? I mean in the Douluo Dalu''s Universe." "About that, my Shishou taught me and others about runes." Huo Yuhao replied casually. It makes Azazel confused clearly because someone like Huo Yuhao has a teacher. What a surprise. Azazel had many questions but knew that Huo Yuhao wouldn''t answer them all in one sitting. This guy always liked to y things mysteriously exactly, like those cultivators. "Just sit down and absorb the spirit ring." Huo Yuhao said while yawning. "Imagine the rune stone is the water source, and the spirit ring and its essence is water that flows down into your body. Guide it to your martial soul and absorb it." "Bee~!" The ck goat suddenly kicked Azazel again. "Ouch!" Azazel rubbed his back. "Bee~! Beee~!" "Don''t tell me my host is stupid, she said." Huo Yuhao shared it with Azazel because he could understand the ck goat through the Voice of All Things. "Bitch." Azazel pped the ck goat''s rear. "BEE!!" The ck goat was annoyed. Huo Yuhao watched the governor-general of Grigori, and a ck goat sh with each other, rolling in the backyard with annoyed expressions stered on their faces. "Fuck it." Azazel threw his trenchcoat and revealed a thick vest he had prepared for Huo Yuhao''s absurd actions. After thest madness with Vali, he couldn''t take any chance of him dying because of friendly fire. "Bee~!" The ck goat sneered and charged toward Azazel. BOOM! They shed fiercely against each other, wrestling in Grayfia''s backyard with a loud booming noise. Huo Yuhao was speechless because this scene reminded him of a specific anime in the past. ''Err... I expected something great, but an adult man fought a ck goat under a shining sun.'' Tian Mengmented while eating chips made of Huo Yuhao''s spiritual core leaf. It''s nutritious for her spiritual body. ''Dayum, he mmed that goat to the ground~!'' ''Oh!! The goat is kicking him in the back!'' Huo Yuhao heard Tian Meng narrating the fight and smiled wryly because thiszy sister worm became more leisurely. At least her power helped him with a foundation to reach Divine Origin Realmter. ''FINISH HER~!!!'' Tian Meng cheered for Azazel, who suplexed the goat onto the ground. "ORA!" Azazel yelled, lifting the goat with a red face because his martial soul was heavier than he expected. BAM! The ck goat fainted and groaned, "B-Bee..." "HAHAHA, know your ce, trash!" Azazelughed while breathing heavily. This goat has more stamina and power despite its small size. Huo Yuhao facepalmed andmented, "Why are you so proud of it, Azazel? You''re literally a defeated goat that is barely an adult." "So you''re beating a kid and happy about your achievement." "..." Azazel. Azazel felt a weird sensation in his chest because a slight irritation blinded him for a moment. He looked down at his fainted martial soul,ughing in defeat because today was more frustrating than usual. "Damn... I feel bad now." "At least you''re in the right mind now." Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and threw the ck-marked Rune Stone on the ground to Azazel. "Anyway, crush that stone and absorb it." "You have better odds now, considering you have KO the goat." Azazel caught the rune stone with his hand and returned, "Okay, stop doing that. I know I''m the one at fault here." He put on clear-framed sses, a magic tool to clear one''s mind from cloudy thoughts, and crushed the stone with his bare hand. He watched a ck halo appear out of thin air and observed the foreign object. "It''s emitting some sort of energy, Spirit Energy..." Azazel sensed a wild energy of a living beast from it and asked, "Huh, you didn''t lie. Spirit Rings do hold the remnants of a spirit beast." "And you said a 100.000 years old Spirit Beast could rival humans in terms of intellect?" Huo Yuhao shrugged and answered, "It''s bloodline things. If the Spirit Beast possessed a rare or divine bloodline, the stronger they are than others." "For example." "Bruh." Azazel''s eyes widened in awe. He saw twelve gray angel wings unfurled from Huo Yuhao''s back and pped gently. Unlike Angels and Fallen Angels, Huo Yuhao''s wings didn''t release an ounce of light/energy and possessed a weird aura of holy yet tainted instead. "Even though the amount of wings doesn''t directly correspond with one''s strength, people with this privilege usually were talented, right?" Huo Yuhao questioned the fallen angel. Azazel nodded and returned, "Yes." Huo Yuhao smiled and continued, "It applies to the Spirit Beast and Human from my homeworld. Even though the bloodline didn''t rte to one''s strength, it still indicates that you could grow more powerful than others. They usually grow faster too." "Not saying people with no bloodline are weak and talentless, but you can''t ignore this matter because there is no such thing as fairness here and there." "Some people are lucky like me, and some are not." "However, people with nothing special are what makes them special because they are like a nk canvas that could get painted into a beautiful art." "That still doesn''t exin how you have those wings, though." Azazel narrowed his eyes. Huo Yuhao chuckled yfully and didn''t even bother to answer Azazel''s suspicion, telling the fallen angel to absorb the spirit ring before the ck goat woke up from sleep. [Name: Azazel] [Age: More than 800 years old] [Potential: SS+ Rank] [Rmended Paths: Warlock, Demonic Goat-Fallen Warrior, Magecraft Grandmaster, Dragon Nest''s General Advisor] Huo Yuhao checked Azazel''s potential and wasn''t disappointed because the fallen angel has high potential coupled with these unique suggested paths. "Still, Advisor, huh?" "I hope your mind would be helpful for us, Azazel." Huo Yuhao smirked slightly. With a small steping from behind, Huo Yuhao nced back and saw Grayfia bringing a ss of icy lemon tea on a ceramic tray. "Yuhao-sama, refreshment," Grayfia said while bowing her head slightly. Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "Fia... You don''t have to be so formal, you know?" Grayfia kept her professionalism and stated, "No." "As a maid, I have to know my ce, Yuhao-sama. You epted me as your pitiful servant, and I shall fulfill with the best of my ability." "I-I see..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. Grayfia''s face glistened with pride for a moment there. Bing Di knocked on Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sea and suddenly warned, ''Don''t get fooled so easily, Yuhao! I''m sure this devilish woman is just as perverted as Tian Meng!'' ''OY!'' Tian Meng was displeased when hearing this usation. ''This great me isn''t perverted.'' ''You may call me cultured and not a pervert. It''s fucking different!'' ''Can you two calm down for a day?'' Eluxia sighed and covered Helena from these bad''s influences, using her spiritual control to create a powerful tape and close these fools'' mouths. ''It feels like babysitting three babies right now.'' Huo Yuhao ignored his contracted souls'' antics and grabbed the icy lemon tea. "Well, thanks for the drink, Fia." He said while sipping the refreshment made by his maid. Grayfia remembered Huo Yuhao''s previous order and said, "Oh yeah, Yuhao-sama. I have scheduled a meeting with the Great King Faction in the underworld tomorrow morning at 9." Huo Yuhao was surprised and returned, "So fast?" She tilted her head and replied, "I thought you wanted to settle everything quickly?" "..." Huo Yuhao never thought Grayfia would take things like this. "Good job." He sipped the icy lemon tea solemnly and thought having a maid wasn''t that bad. It''s not like his life is unorganized because Huo Yuhao believed he had more discipline than anyone. However, an assistant that could help with trivial matters is essential. Liu Mei technically does this job too, but she is more of the Dragon Nest''s Secretary than a maid. Even though Huo Yuhao could call the Queen of Thunder anytime, it would disturb Dragon Nest''s functionality. "Grayfia, give me all documents and information rted to the Underworld after the Great War." Huo Yuhao suddenly requested. Grayfia was confused and still answered, "I''ll gather them all by this evening, Yuhao-sama." "Do you have more orders?" There is a hint of expectation in her voice. Huo Yuhao finished the cold drink and replied, "No." "Oh wait, what devil n will be our host tomorrow?" Grayfia smiled and answered, "Bael n." Chapter 113: Venelana Baels Misery Chapter 113: Venna Bael''s Misery --- Chapter 113 --- Underworld. A group of devils is bustling around the Bael Mansion, preparing for Huo Yuhao''s appearance. Even though they were shocked by the sudden notice from the Grayfia Lucifuge, they couldn''t do anything about it. They either epted the notice or faced the Dragon God of Destruction''s sinister side. An adult woman with long brown hair and calm purple eyes walked out from a magic circle, looking at the Bael Mansion with a weird gaze. She has a bombshell body blessed in all three sizes, wearing a white dress with ck ents that emphasize her beauty even more. This woman is Venna Bael, the half-sister of the current Bael n''s Patriarch. Even though she has strong Power of Destruction and Bael''s blood flowing in her body, she couldn''t be the matriarch because of her other lineage. "Venna-sama! The patriarch has been waiting for you." A butler with an ashen appearance approached her. Venna sighed and said, "David... Just what''s my brother thinking?" "Does he even know the problem with inviting the Blue-Eyed Dragon God to the Underworld? Not to mention advocating the Bael n as the host for his visit." David could only wryly smile because he had lived long enough to witness what Huo Yuhao could do to the Underworld. Just one sh of his saber was enough to obliterate everything, and David wasn''t even joking to himself. Maybe it''s his coping mechanism because the Great War felt fresh in his mind like it was yesterday. "Since Zekram-Sama founded the Great War King alongside the other n leaders after the Great War, the Bael n''s position always stayed on the top. It''s also part of the patriarch''s pride, Venna-sama." Venna couldn''t help but roll her eyes in annoyance when hearing David''s replies because her younger half-brother, or what people have known as Lord Bael, is very prideful. She doesn''t even hide her dissatisfaction with this man. Lord Bael/Patriarch is so prideful and tight to the tradition, to the point of kicking his son because he doesn''t inherit the Power of Destruction from his so-called pure Bael''s blood. "At least the Founder doesn''t know about this yet. He has been sleeping for one hundred years, after all." Vennamented while walking toward the Bael Mansion. David followed Venna from behind and replied, "I hope you don''t get mad and blow up the attic like a month ago, Venna-sama." "People of your age have children and act more calmly too." "Well, maybe it''s time for you to get a husband-!" David''s eyes blinked nervously, sensing an enormous yet potent Power of Destruction pointed at his forehead. He watched Venna ring at him with her index finger stretched out, and demonic energy red like no tomorrow. Some veins popped up on her beautiful face, indicating her annoyance toward him. "David, how old are you again?" Venna smiled at him. "Why don''t you retire already? I''ll send you there personally with some broken bones." David could feel the shiver in his old spine and replied, "Sorry for my rude remarks, Venna-sama." "I''ll think twice before saying anything from now on." "Good..." Venna drew her finger back. "It would be a waste to rece a good butler like you with someone else." Venna walked away, leaving David with a speechless and exhausted expression. The old butler seemed to age even more after that threat. "Haa..." David sighed to himself. "No wonder people called her the Ruin Empress, one of the strongest devils of this era." He watched Venna''s back and added, "And one of Underworld''s Three Beauties." "The Noble Mistress, Venna Bael." "The Silver Guardian, Grayfia Lucifuge." "And the Magical Girl, Serafall Levia-Than~!" A voice suddenly appeared from behind. "OH, SATAN!" David shouted and jumped on the spot, hugging himself in fear of the sudden voice. He turned around and saw Serafall Leviathan in her magical girl outfit. "Aih... For the 1.469 times, please don''t shock me like that again, Serafall-sama." He said while rubbing his beating chest, feeling this old heart of his might jump out anytime. "Teehe~! My bad." Serafall returned while sticking out her tongue. David shook his head gently, giving Serafall a weary look because the devil king must being here for the Blue-Eyed Dragon God''s visit in a few hours. The other devil kings haven''t arrived, which is always the case because they somewhat dislike the Bael n. Ajuka Beelzebub and Falbium Asmodeus had problems with the Bael n years ago and settled it somehow. Only Sirzechs Lucifer is a person who actually disliked the Bael n because of personal reasons. Well, more like his mother''s lineage problem. The current mistress of the Gremory n is Lord Bael''s twin sister, known as the Tainted Flower of the Bael n within the mansion. "I hear you are muttering something about the mistress. Is she going to attend the meeting as well?" Serafall asked David. Her curiosity has no end because the three beauties rarely meet in one ce. She encountered Grayfia Luficuge very often in thest week, but that''s understandable because the silver guardian has be Huo Yuhao''s maid. Serafall had to meet Grayfia and send the message between the Underworld to the Dragon Nest. Davidughed weakly and answered, "I don''t know about that, Serafall-sama. After all, Venna came here because Lord Bael called for her." "I might guess the reason behind it, but this is Lord Bael we are talking about." "His pride about this meeting probably soared than usual." "Lord Bael, huh?" Serafall pondered about the man who ruled over the Bael n currently. "I still wondered how the Bael n functioned properly in the past 100 years but considering the support from the Great King Faction. It''s not really a worry for him." David listened to Serafall''s statement, shaking his head because Serafall was pretty much correct. Still, she missed one fact about Lord Bael and the Bael n. Lord Bael bing the patriarch isn''t because he was strong. He bes a leader because of the hierarchy of pure blood and the former leader(his father)''sst order. Venna couldn''t fight this order because she had to submit or receive a bacsh severely. ''Even the strong are suppressed by blood purity.'' David thought while escorting Serafall to the meeting room. Meanwhile, in the Lord Bael''s Office. Venna faced her half-brother, a man with a solemn yet cold look and tall height. He wore a ck suit with a purple tie that matched his short ck hair and bright violet eyes. Lord Bael''s age is more than 300 years despite his mid-thirties appearance. "So, what do you want?" Venna said while crossing her arms. She doesn''t even bother to sit down and drink tea when facing her half-brother because he would never call her on a trivial matter. Somebody might look at this and say how disrespectful Venna is, but she has the right to act this way because of her title as Ruin Mistress alone, and their rtionship isn''t that healthy in the first ce. Lord Bael, or Kromael Bael, is staring at Venna calmly. He ced the patriarch''s seal on his office table, making the brown-haired devil woman frown slightly. "Venna, my order for you is simple." "I want you to seduce the Blue-Eyed Dragon God and bring him to our side. With your beauty, he should sumb eventually." "Bastard... You never change." Venna''s eyes glowed coldly. Her power of destruction flowed rapidly and covered the whole room, but with the patriarch''s seal on the table, she couldn''t do anything to Kromael. The former lord''s order binds Venna forcibly, disallowing any act of harming toward the man before her. As long as Bael''s blood flowed within her vein, she couldn''t fight Kroamael back. ''People called me the Ruin Mistress, but what ruined is nothing but my fate.'' Venna gritted her teeth. She clenched her hand tightly, making the nail dig into her flesh. Kromael smirked and dered, "Venna Bael, as the current Patriarch and third Lord Bael, I ordered you to bring the Blue-Eyed Dragon God to Bael n''s side by all means." Venna red at Kromeal and indifferently replied, "Yes, Lord Bael. I''ll bring the Blue-Eyed Dragon to our n by all means." She turned around and walked out of the room, mming the door to show her contempt. "I hated it here..." She whispered to herself. Venna aimlessly walked into the garden and looked at the gloomy sky with ck clouds. She sat on the nearest bench and closed her eyes because everything was wrong when she stepped into this ce. She cried silently and whispered, "Someone... Please save me." Chapter 114: Dont Bully Ophis! Chapter 114: Don''t Bully Ophis! --- Chapter 114 --- "Phew." Huo Yuhao sighed while lying on his bed. After reading the documents rted to the Underworld that Grayfia gathered for him, he could conclude the Underworld''s situation is more chaotic than he expected. Books and papers are scattered on the floor, filling up his bedroom to an rming height like a flood. Some of these documents are extremely rare, and the public never heard of them, nor does the source exist anymore. "Oh well, what did I expect from a ce called the Underworld? The area is no different than the new continent, but too many hands controlling it from the shadow." "Not to mention the Realm of Death or the Realm of Hades." Huo Yuhao was suspicious about something when reading the records about the Realm of the Death because Hades governed that area with grim reapers under his control. Hades and the original devil kingspromised to keep a boundary against each other, the devils cannot enter the Realm of the Death, and Grim Reapers cannot step into the devils'' territory. Well, it''s against the naturalw anyway. This "Agreement." has been functioning for thousands of years, but that most likely would be broken by Huo Yuhaoter. Underworld will be one of Dragon Nest''s territories in the future, and he couldn''t let Hades meddle with it. Huo Yuhao also discovered some issues regarding the Nekoshou Race, Nebirous n, Cleria Belial, Beal n, and Old Satan Faction. "It''s going to take a while because the roots have been staying long in the devils''munity, and killing them won''t be enough. I need to show them justice and make an example, just like in the past..." His royal blue eyes glowed while recalling the cleaning protocol of Dragon Nest. Eluxia shivered unknowingly, feeling a ghastly killing intent more potent than anyone she had encountered. She couldn''t remember them well, and her memories about that world had always been cloudy. After bing Huo Yuhao''s contracted soul, she experienced new happy memories that reced the old ones. ''What was that...'' The necromancer mumbled to herself. Tian Meng and Bing Di are napping in their personal spaces, deafening themselves because peaceful times like this rarely happen. And Helena has shown tremendous growth in thest week, developing into a significantly enormous ball of rose light. Eluxia nced at Helena and asked, ''Yuhao, I have something-!'' BAM! The wall of Huo Yuhao''s bedroom was smashed from outside, making the whole house tremble slightly. He frowned and used Observation Haki to see what happened, witnessing Scathach chasing Ophis. "COME HERE!" Scathach excitedly chased over the ouroboros dragon. Ophis frowned and ran away from this battle maniac as she had no free time because of her. At first, Scathach only tested her staff mastery and then began to bully her with a sharp red stick. She hates red things because they remind her of Baka Red, but Scathach''s red stick is more dangerous. Ophis doesn''t know why, but Scathach''s attack actually makes her feel pain, and she doesn''t like it. Scathach waved Gae Bolg Alternative and questioned, "Ophis, why don''t you fight back? I''ll give you more candy, you know?" Ophis breathed heavily and replied, "Go away, bully!" For the first time in her life, Ophis was troubled by something else besides the Baka Red that stole her home. "Hehe, what about no?" Scathach chuckled and replied while throwing her spear. "..." Huo Yuhao would have never thought the situation would end up like this. He rubbed his forehead because Shishou is known as a teaching genius. After all, she could spot one''s talent for something quickly. She could uncover one''s weakness with a simple nce and determine a training course/method suitable for that individual. However, she often used unorthodox methods to teach her students and awaken their potential. Scathach probably discovered something bizarre about Ophis and bullied the ouroboros dragon with her hellish training. A purple magic circle appeared on Huo Yuhao''s bed, revealing a sweaty Ophis with a dirty appearance. Her gothic loli dress has ripped in some ces. "Ophis~!" Scathach''s voice reached into the room. "Yuhao, hide me from that bully!" Ophis sounded so desperate for some reason. Ophis trembled and buried herself inside Huo Yuhao''s nket, hugging his waist. She heard a step approach them and hoped Huo Yuhao would help her. The ouroboros dragon couldn''t run away from this woman nor teleport herself because of Primordial Rune: Spatial Lock. Huo Yuhao sighed and nced out the window, "What have you done, Shishou? Ophis is a cute dragon, so you don''t have to push her that much." "Give her some rest." Scathach rested her head on the window frame and hummed, "Hmm, if you say so." "It would be such a waste of talent, though. Ophis, you want to defeat the Great Red and take over your home back, right? Don''t you think my training in thest week has been fruitful to your strength?" Ophis''s small head peeked out of the nket and replied, "But I don''t want to be trained by you. Your red stick is annoying." Scathach''s mouth twitched because of her treasured Gea Bolg Alternative called "Red Stick." by Ophis. She forced a smile re with a threatening aura and made the ouroboros dragon hide inside Huo Yuhao''s nket again. "Ophis, what do you want?" Huo Yuhaoughed and patted Ophis''s head gently. "Candy." She answered while hugging his waist. "I want Yuhao to feed them." "To me." Scathach jumped into the room through the window and pulled the nket away. "Ophis, let''s set the ground rules, shall we?" She said, making the ouroboros dragon frown slightly. Even though Ophis believed Scathach was annoying, there is no mistake that bullying/training increased her strength slowly but surely. Still, she couldn''t trust Scathach at all. "What''s it?" Ophis replied while hiding behind Huo Yuhao. "You can only spend two hours with Yuhao a day. Maybe less after his mother returned but limited nheless." Scathach stated while sitting on the bed. "Trust me, if you think of me as a bully, then Yuhao''s mother is more monstrous than me." "You can''t hide from her, and Yuhao won''t protect you forever." "She probably has set her eyes on every woman close to Huo Yuhao when arriving in this world." "I-Is Yuhao''s mother that strong?" Ophis couldn''t help but question Scathach. She felt nervous because Yuhao did say a few things about his mother a week ago. Scathach smirked yfully and said, "Her name is Huo Yun''er. She possessed power over destiny and fate. If youmitted one mistake toward Huo Yuuhao, that was enough to make your fate miserable in her hands." "Well, Huo Yun''er doesn''t have toy in her hand on her target. She could curse someone with just a thought." "I-I see..." Ophis tried to maintain her t expression, but hearing about Huo Yun''er from Scathach made her even more afraid of the future. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Stop scaring her too, Shishou. Mom wouldn''t do something too extreme to a girl like Ophis." "Hmm?" Ophis realized she was getting swayed by Scathach again. "You Bully!" The ouroboros dragon pouted, which made Scathach giggle because this girl was so easy to bully. However, that also means Ophis''s ignorance is easy to exploit, and Scathach assumes someone is messing around with her soul. ''It''s imperfect. Ophis might not realize it, but separating a portion of her power creates an imbnce. ording to Yuhao, someone tricked Ophis by making her sacrifice a little over 1/4 of her full power.'' Scathach thought while staring at Ophis. "Ophis is like a baby ko hiding behind her dad for some reason." Shemented casually. "Shishou!" Huo Yuhao was speechless. "Hehe." Scathachughed in entertainment. "Yuhao-sama, everything is ready-!" Grayfia suddenly entered the room and watched Huo Yuhao lying on the bed with Ophis hugging and Scathach sitting near him with a yful smirk. She was stunned and calmed down because this should be the expected scenery from now on. After all, a person like Yuhao-sama wouldn''t get satisfied with just one or two women. ''Don''t worry, Yuhao-sama! I''ll be a worthy maid and woman for you in the future!'' The devil maid somehow vowed for an entirely different reason than her original duty. Lucifer would be wondering where the heck hisst will is going. Huo Yuhao stretched his body slightly and replied, "Well, it''s time to go." "Do you want to follow us, Shishou?" Scathach rolled her eyes and said, "No. I heard the Underworld is full of weak ass devils, which sounds uninteresting to me." "I''ll stay in thepound and train Ophis." "Hmm, I don''t wanna..." Ophis responded while squinting her eyes at Scathach. "I''ll follow Yuhao to the underworld, and we might find Rizevim there." "Everything is decided then." Huo Yuhao nodded while thinking about something. "We need one member to help me finish the Nebirous n''s case." "Grayfia, have Koneko from Rias Gremory''s Peerage visited thepound recently?" He asked the maid. Grayfia pondered and answered, "About that, Rias Gremory and her peerage went to the Underworld too, Yuhao-sama. After the Kuoh Academy got attacked by Kokabiel, the devil kings decided to hold training camp alongside the school holiday." "Perfect, I only have to contact Kuroka." Huo Yuhao summoned his magic circle and told the ck cat to visit the Dragon Nest Compound in a few hours. "Grayfia, can you cook breakfast for me? I want to wash up my body." "Right away, Yuhao-sama~!" Grayfia smiled and disappeared in a sh. Scathach couldn''t help but sneer andmented, "That Maid sure is enthusiastic about serving you." Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Grayfia is a good maid." ... As Huo Uuhao walked to the shower, he remembered Eluxia was saying something. ''Teacher Eluxia, did you want to say something before?'' He asked calmly. ''It''s nothing.'' Eluxia answered from the spiritual sea, The necromancer watched Huo Yuhao meticulously and shook her head because neverending suspicion would lead to her demise. She should have trusted her host more. ''What am I even thinking?'' She shook her head gently, watching Huo Yuhao take off his clothes. Eluxia looked down at the something hanging between Huo Yuhao''s legs and blushed slightly. ''W-Well, It''s not that bad, I suppose.'' She coughed dryly. Chapter 115: Breakfast before the Underworlds Meeting Chapter 115: Breakfast before the Underworld''s Meeting --- Chapter 115 --- Dragon Nest Compound, Huo Yuhao''s Dining Room. "I''m here, NYAA~!!" Kuroka jumped out of her magic circle,nding in the room with an excited expression on her cute cat-like face. Her sudden appearance made Grayfia frown slightly in the kitchen. "Yuhao, Darling~! I arrived on time." She added, which left everyone in the room speechless. Scathachzily sat on the chair as she waited for Grayfia''s cooking. Yet, when hearing Kuroka''s bold greeting, she immediately released her cultivation pressure and made the cat tremble. "Know your ce..." The warrior queen smiled at Kuroka. Kuroka lowered her head and returned, "N-Nyaa! Sorry..." The ck cat couldn''t help but feel nervous around Scathach and not to mention other powerful beings like Grayfia in the kitchen. She also noticed Ophis sitting on the table with a bowl of candy. ''Eh? What''s Ophis-sama doing here??'' The nekoshou thought to herself, realizing that Ophis had been gone for a week without notice. Does that mean she stayed in the Dragon Nest Compound all this time? Kuroka felt jealous inside, but she couldn''t do anything about it. After all, her strength is weaker than all thesedies, soparing herself with them is likeparing mud and sky. Scathach sighed and said, "Cat, Sit. Yuhao will be here in a moment." "Thank you, Ma''am." Kuroka''s nervous expression loosened slightly. She sat on the nearest chair and looked around the room, not finding Huo Yuhao for some reason. Kuroka was disappointed inside as she thought he would be here, deciding to circte her energy throughout her body. "You''re doing it wrong. Huo Yuhao doesn''t teach you properly about energy cirction, huh?" Scathachmented while observing Kuroka''s energy pathway. "When you circte energy within your body, you need to breathe and expel the used energy. Storing it back into your body would create bacsh because the newly generated one and old energy shed with each other." "Like Ophis, you copied Huo Yuhao''s movement and instructed but didn''t realize the bigger picture. What a shame." She added casually. "Hmm?" Ophis frowned at Scathach. "Training with Yuhao is much faster than you, bully." "He also gives me more candies..." "Is that so?" Scathach sneered indifferently. Kuroka lifted her hand and asked, "Then what should I do?" "From what Huo Yuhao taught, Nature Energy flowed directly into one''s body." Scathachughed and said, "That dumbass is a genius, and his physique was "simply." gifted from heaven. Don''t copy him because it would be a pointless attempt." Kuroka was surprised andmented, "I don''t think dumbass and genius stayed in the same sentence..." "Do you have a problem with myment?" Scathach narrowed her eyes at the ck cat. Kuroka''s tails straightened instinctively and replied, "N-No." "Whatever, follow my instructions." Scathach grabbed a protein bar from her spatial tool and began to tutor Kuroka. She wondered how people in this world live so cluelessly. ... ... Huo Yuhao walked out of the shower, wearing new pants and cing the towel around his neck. He opened his bedroom door and felt the awkward atmosphere in the dining room. He rubbed his hair with the towel and watched Scathach scowling at Kuroka beside her. "Oh, you''vee?" He said with an amused expression. "Sooner than I expected." "Yuhao... Am I a Genius too?" Kuroka moved her gaze to Huo Yuhao with a proud look. "Huh?" Huo Yuhao was confused by her question. Scathach flicked Kuroka''s forehead andmented, "She has mastered 1st part of the Universal Breathing Technique. However, she still has a long way to reach the firstyer and even manifest spirit mark because she hasn''t awakened her Spirit Circuits." "It''smendable for people of this world, but Dragon Nest Academy''s elementary students reach this level before even entering the school." Kuroka clutched her forehead and mumbled, "No way~!" "Eh, then why did you look so proud before?" Scathach coughed and replied, "Well, I was thinking, for a pet, you''re not that bad." "Is that apliment or an insult, Nyaa?!" Kuroka pouted at Scathach. Scathach smirked and replied, "Well, who knows." "Uugh, how cruel..." The ck cat couldn''t believe this demoness at all, Scathach''s actions have always been obscure to her, and none of them are predictable. Huo Yuhao shook his head at these two and sat beside Ophis, patting her adorable head. "Grayfia, what are you cooking there?" He curiously asked. Grayfia sipped a small te to test the soup''s consistency and taste. She nodded her head in the confidence of her cooking. When she heard Huo Yuhao''s question, she smiled and answered, "Miso soup and some light side dishes, Yuhao-sama." "Sounds good enough." Huo Yuhao smiled back. Even though Miso Soup itself is a simple dish, there is nothing wrong with it because he would rather eat something simple than extravagant things. He could have eaten a protein bar made of precious herbs and ingredients to fill his stomach like Scathach, but Grayfia''s cooking is to die for after a week of eating. Of course, Grayfia''s cooking skill is minusculepared to Huo Yun''er because something is always unique and endearing about a mother''s home cooking. Thinking about Huo Yun''er makes Huo Yuhao feelplicated because she hasn''t contacted him for a few weeks. She should be fine, considering no one in this world could fight her, including the Great Red that protects the dimensional gap and Trihexa. Divine Fox isn''t simply a race. It''s a status that Huo Yun''er inherited from her legacy master, and Huo Yuhao upgraded it once with an upgrading ticket in the past, allowing her to manipte more than bad luck and great luck. "Eat well, Yuhao-sama~!" Grayfia suddenly ced all dishes she had cooked for Huo Yuhao on the dining table and said with a gentle voice. Only stupid and clueless people wouldn''t realize such a tant act of advancement toward Huo Yuhao. Kuroka stared at Grayfia Lucifuge with a confused expression because this woman was the infamous cold devil woman known as the silver guardian in the underworld. However, she somehow bes Huo Yuhao''s maid. "Then, let''s have breakfast." Huo Yuhao pped his hands and began to eat Grayfia''s cooking. And once again, he was surprised by the development of her skill. It''s the peak mastery of a chef. ... ... After the hearty breakfast, Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Thanks for the food." He watched Scathach and others eating Grayfia''s cooking, drinking a ss of water to clean his throat. He looked at Kuroka and pondered about the Nekoshou Incident. And Even though the ck cat and her sister had told him about the Naberius n''s wrongdoing, he still had to clean her criminal record. Well, he has Grayfia and four devil kings to settle this matter, so it should be easy. It''s not like Naberius n has enough force to fight him because they are weaklings before his eyes. "Fuwaa~! So delicious, Nyaa~!" Kuroka carefully finished herst bite and beamed cheerfully. Scathach only tasted the miso soup because the protein bar served her stomach already. "Not bad." Shemented haughtily. "This is not candy..." Ophis stared at the steamed green beans on her te and frowned because this didn''t look appetizing. "I hate veggies." "You wouldn''t grow if you don''t eat one, stop being picky." Scathach ced the small bowl on the table. "I can just transform..." Ophis countered, which left Scathach speechless because she seemed to forget the child-like being in front of her was a legit dragon. Ophis''s body glowed with purple light, and everyone watched her grow significantly in the blink of an eye. The formerly small young children-like Ophis is now a barely adultdy with a charming appearance, despite the t expression. Also, unlike her formerly gothic loli dress, Ophis wore a white buttoned shirt with long sleeves and ck pants that mimic Huo Yuhao''s casual outfits. "See?" Ophis tilted her head while pointing at herself. "..." Scathach. "..." Kuroka. "..." Grayfia. "Cute. No, you''re more beautiful than before." Huo Yuhao smiled at Ophis beside him. Ophis''s cheeks reddened slightly, but no one seemed to notice because the blush was faint. "Really?" The ouroboros dragon asked while staring at him. "Yeah." He smiled gently, making a happy feeling spread within Ophis''s heart. The ouroboros dragon might be confused about this warm feeling, but she likes it a lot for some reason. Scathach leaned on the dining table and pulled Ophis''s cheeks to check something. "Hmm, since you were originally a dragon and still one, does this transformation false?" She couldn''t help but be curious about this. "No, It''s true. Even though my outer appearance is changing, everything is basically the same. My essence, such as "Infinity." and life force, never changed and stayed like that forever." Ophis answered calmly. "Do you like this or my previous appearance, Yuhao?" Everyone immediately focused their gazes on Huo Yuhao, even the contracted souls in his spiritual sea. Being the only male in the room is sure to be full of pressure. Huo Yuhao chuckled and yed it cool, "You''re charming no matter what, Ophis. Your charm isn''t something that only appearance could describe because personality-wise, You''re adorable." ''Tch, fucking smooth. He got away so easily.'' Tian Meng clicked her tongue in annoyance because she wanted to see a spicy drama here. Scathach giggled on the side because her beloved disciple possessed such a flowery mouth. She released Ophis''s cheek and said, "Then, I''ll take a nap and train after it." "Hope you return before noon." Huo Yuhao shook his head wryly and replied, "I hope so, Shishou." "Kuroka, you''re going to follow me to the underworld." "Eh, why? I''m a wanted criminal there, you know?" Kuroka was shocked. "Don''t worry. I''ll solve that problem for you, but first. Do you want to join the Dragon Nest?" Huo Yuhao returned to her. Kuroka disappeared and hugged Huo Yuhao from behind. "Hehe, of course, Nyaa~!" Chapter 116: Arrived at the Underworld Chapter 116: Arrived at the Underworld --- Chapter 116 --- Huo Yuhao and others traveled to the Underworld via the dimensional gap with a magical train. They could have used Grayfia''s teleportation magic, but he insisted on using this transportation because it might give him an idea for Dragon Nest''s space carrierter. "Oh yeah, Kuroka''s potential." He leaned on his seat and checked Kuroka''s potential page. The ck cat sat near the window and watched the surrounding scenery, a colorful space. [Ding! You have used the potential scan] [Name: Kuroka] [Age: 19 years old] [Potential: SS+ Rank] [Rmended Path: True Nekoshou Mistress, Nine Lives Divine Beast, The Great Saintess of Yokai, Huo Yuhao''s Pet, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] "Heh, what a bunch of interesting paths." Huo Yuhao smiled when reading about Huo Yuhao''s pet because Kuroka is basically one at this point. She is obviously talented enough to be the leader of the Yokai Faction, which is currently in a white position as his mother resides there. Even though Kuroka''s talent and strength are considered incredibly impressive in this world, she still has a long way to go to be something like the Great Saintess of Yokai. ''Well, It''s not going to take years to conquer this world. I already have everything nned perfectly, which started from the devils to another god pantheon.'' Huo Yuhao thought while closing his eyes. Grayfia massaged Huo Yuhao''s shoulder and watched over the infamous criminal in the past. Ophis doesn''t really need eyes to observe because she only has to give the dragon a bowl of candy to make her stay in one ce. "Is it good, Yuhao-sama?" She asked with a smile. Huo Yuhao nodded lightly and replied, "Yeah, It feels nice. Your hands are so smooth, Fia." Grayfia''s cheeks reddened when hearing that, increasing her grip strength more than usual. Huo Yuhao noticed this sudden change and wryly smiled inside at how easy it was to motivate this maid. "Dear passengers, the Magical Train will arrive at the main station in 3 minutes." A voice echoed in their room. "Dear passengers, please collect all your baggage before leaving." Huo Yuhao shrugged because all his items were inside the inventory and spatial rings. He doesn''t want to bring annoyingly big suitcases everywhere. "Underworld, huh? Let''s see what kind of ce it was." Hemented while stretching his neck. "I''ll call over the Bael n''s representative." Grayfia suddenly said while summoning her magic circle. She ced it near her ears and heard a familiar noise from the other side. Her eyes widened for a moment because the Bael n actually sent one of the most influential devils in the Underworld to escort Huo Yuhao. Yet, Grayfia felt something was wrong. She covered her mouth and pondered, ''Venna Bael, that unfortunate woman doesn''t have a good rtionship with Kromael Bael(Lord Bael) and the previous n leader... So why did the Ruin Mistress be the representative?'' ''Hmm, very suspicious.'' Grayfia couldn''t help but wonder about something. Huo Yuhao put on rk Kent''s sses and grabbed an overcoat made of a rare spirit beast''s pelt. He yawned because many things have to get settled within a short amount of time. "Let''s go..." He walked to the door, but Ophis suddenly grabbed his left hand. Oh yeah, Ophis has returned to her little form. "Yuhao," Ophis called his name. "Do you also use transformation? Your appearance changed drastically, but your smell is still the same." Huo Yuhao was genuinely surprised and said, "Ah, that''s one of rk Kent''s sses'' weaknesses. It only covers me from the outside and gives other impressions of a young reporter." ''It could fool even God''s eyes, but other senses still could pass through my disguise. Well, the item is an SS Grade Item, and I could upgrade it againter.'' He made a brief mental note to upgrade rk Kent''s sses in the future. Huo Yuhao patted Ophis andmented, "Thanks for pointing that out, Ophis." The ouroboros dragon nodded and felt happy inside because this should be considered apliment. And nothing couldpare to Huo Yuhao''s praise. Even though small, Ophis unknowingly smiled while thinking about her time with Huo Yuhao. Something about this young man always fascinated her and created a moment out of this world. "Hm." Ophis looked at Huo Yuhao''s hand. It''s firm yet soft, filled with extreme warmth and limitless power. "Magical Train has arrived at the main station." The announcer said. Grayfia stood beside Huo Yuhao andmented, "Follow me, Yuhao-sama." "As for you, Kuroka. Turn into your cat form and stay on Yuhao-sama''s shoulder." "Ok~!" Kuroka jumped from her seat and transformed into a ck cat with two slender tails,nding perfectly on Huo Yuhao''s right shoulder. She sniffed his smell curiously and was intoxicated because the beastly aura hadn''t faded. Nekoshou always seeks a strong mate, and Huo Yuhao met all the criteria to make a strong baby kitten. No, he was overqualified to be her mate. ''Hehe, Yuhao''s scent is so good, Nyaa~!'' Kuroka rubbed her face on Huo Yuhao''s neck. Grayfia pinched Kuroka''s rear and warned indifferently, "Just because madam Scathach wasn''t here, that doesn''t mean you''re free to do questionable things in public." "You''re here to clear your criminal record, so don''t make me change my mind." "So cold, Nyaa..." Kuroka was annoyed inside. Still, she couldn''t do anything about it because Koneko''s future depended on this matter. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Okay, stop arguing. We still have a long way to go." "Hehe, if darling says so~!" Kuroka nodded while having a goofy smile on her cat face. That smugness irked Grayfia slightly. They dropped off the station, and every devil in the vicinity immediately stared at them. Obviously, Grayfia caught their attention because the devils''munity rarely saw her. "Hey, is that person really what I am thinking right now?" "The silver guardian. Eh, wait! Why did she wear a maid outfit??" "I heard she passed her head guardian position to Roygun Belphegor." "So she handed over that position and decided to be a maid? For who, though?" A young devil rubbed his hands carefully and mumbled, "Hehe, the silver guardian in a maid outfit isn''t that bad. She looks sexy~!" "Oy, shut your mouth. She would hear that!" Another young devil pped his friend. "You''re the one who shouts!!" The group of young devils, who imagined themselves to be Grayfia''s master and did lewd things, shouted at the person that exposed them. Grayfia frowned and said, "So noisy... Forgive me for not overseeing this situation, Yuhao-sama." "It''s fine, Fia. I can understand their youthful feelings. You''re beautiful, after all." Huo Yuhao replied casually, which left devils in the area speechless. They expected a cold response from Grayfi, yet the maid blushed, unlike her usual self. "WHAT?!!" "T-The silver guardian is blushing!" "Is this a dream?" "B-Bro, pinch me! It must be a dream!" BAM! The devil punched his friend, making the questing reality devil cough a mouthful of blood. "B-Bastard, I SAID PINCH! Not PUNCH!" He roared while trembling on the ground. ck! A gentle yet powerful step echoed in the station, swaying their attention to the entrance. They moved their gazes there and "literally." were dumbfounded by Venna Bael''s sudden appearance. "R-R-Ruin... Mistress." Venna walked toward Huo Yuhao''s group and greeted, "Wee to the Underworld, Blue-Eyed Dragon God. I''ll be your escort until the meeting is over." She smiled politely at Huo Yuhao and lowered her head, causing Grayfia to be even more suspicious because this wasn''t Venna Bael she knew. "D-Did she says B-Blue Eyed Dragon God." "I thought that was a myth..." Venna flicked her finger and created a white magic circle with a purple flower on the floor, teleporting them away from the station. They arrived at Bael n''s private station and were "immediately." weed by a carriage. "Please enter, everyone." She said while opening the door. Huo Yuhao observed Venna and was honestly surprised by this change the most. Venna Gremory, scratch that. Venna Bael actually didn''t marry Zeoticus Gremory and stayed in the Beal n. He knew this already from Grayfia''s Underworld record but was still surprised. Huo Yuhao sighed inside because the butterfly effect he created was much more potent than he had assumed. He stepped into the carriage and sat on the seat. Ophis stayed on hisp, and Kuroka buried her head on his shoulder. Grayfia was about to sit beside Huo Yuhao, but Venna suddenly grabbed her chance and took it. "May I sit here, Dragon God?" The brte devil asked. ''This woman.'' Grayfia furrowed her brows a little. Huo Yuhao observed Venna''s expression and replied, "Sure. You don''t have to call me like that." "Yuhao is fine." "Then, Lord Yuhao. Thanks for allowing me to sit beside you." Venna giggled and nted her bountiful real on the cushion. She clearly wanted to seduce Yuhao. Grayfia sat on the other side and said, "I wonder what makes you act like this, Venna..." Venna brushed off Grayfia''s statement and replied, "Oh my, what are you saying, Grayfia? I''m always like this, just more curious about Lord Yuhao because I only heard the story and never met him in person." ''That smile... How fake. She''s hiding something.'' Tian Mengmented after witnessing this new devil. ''I know, so let''s find out what she was hiding from us.'' Huo Yuhao added while resting his head on the chair. He was unaware that choosing a public station would cause spicy rumors to spread in the Underworld. Chapter 117: The Meeting Chapter 117: The Meeting --- Chapter 117 --- Bael Mansion, Front Gate. "We have arrived," Vennamented while opening the blind on the carriage, allowing them to see Bael Mansion''s sight. After seeing this, Honestly. Huo Yuhao was surprised at how grand the noble in the devils''munity was. Even though he knew Gremory n was supposed to have bountiful assets because of Venna''s business skills, that didn''t happen in this world because of his appearance in the great world. Bael Mansion spanned several hundred kilometers, having several blocks of usage like a garden and living areas used by a different member of the family. The main mansion is a grand castle made of unknown ck stone and a ck g with a purple flower pattern proudly ced on top. Huo Yuhao sighed because he couldn''t find any noticeable opponent inside this ce. No wonder his Shishou doesn''t want to join this little trip, as she would be bored to death. ''Wait, Shishou should have met the Vampire Faction when she arrived in Scond, right? Don''t tell me she was disappointed because Vampire here is weaker than expected.'' Huo Yuhao put on a weak smile because he hyped Highschool DxD''s world too much for Scathach. The warrior queen was bound to be disappointed. "What do you think, Lord Yuhao?" Venna suddenly asked. "The Bael Mansion has stood for more than one thousand years. We only renovated it twice in the past, so it still retained its former glory." Huo Yuhao nced at Venna and replied, "It''s okay." "It''s okay?" "Yeah, The castle right is no different than a sand castle for me. Built on top of pride and greed, which bound to crumble slowly but surely." He added, which left Venna silent for a moment. Venna blinked her eyes in surprise because she had never heard such a perfect description of Bael Mansion like this. For the first time, someone rted to her. And hearing this makes the brte devil''s curiosity grow a little. Of course, Venna doesn''t forget her duty, but maybe. Yes, perhaps Huo Yuhao could be a key to her freedom. She kept her calm expression and responded, "I see. Quite a unique take from the legendary dragon god. After all, there is no way this small mansion amazed you." Looking at Venna''s face, Huo Yuhao already guessed that lord bael had nned something. Even though her expression looks natural and her manner of speaking is polite, it''s slightly forceful. Nothing wrong with it, but he found it rather displeasing. A person who couldn''t speak their mind is nothing but a more inferior creature before the wicked. They couldn''t gain freedom, to even desire what they wanted. They kept talking for 3 minutes, and Huo Yuhao listened to Velenana''s introduction to Bael n''s rich history. Frankly, he was only interested in the Power of Destruction and Mana Stones mines of the Bael n. The carriage stopped, and Huo Yuhao saw a familiar face waiting for him in front of the castle. He was amused because Serafall Leviathan finally could have such a firm expression. ''Or maybe not.'' He looked at Serafall''s slightly trembling legs. Huo Yuhao also saw a butler and an arrogant-looking man observing the carriage with a solemn look. Thetter clearly was the current lord of the Bael n, but he was awfully weaker than Venna. Venna''s strength is on par with Grayfia''s before she got her twin martial soul awakened. And Lord Bael is barely qualified to be on the Title Douluo Realm. Huo Yuhao also noticed that Venna''s expression changed a little when seeing Lord Bael. Its subtle changes, but they couldn''t escape his eyes. As the carriage''s door got opened by the butler, Grayfia walked out first and checked the area for her master. She nodded and gave lord bael a suspicious nce. Huo Yuhao stepped out and said, "Well, that was quite stuffy." "I hope the meeting met my expectations." Lord Bael frowned when seeing Huo Yuhao for the first time as he only saw his portrait. The people in the past described him as overly good-looking, with luscious blue hair and a pair of dreamy royal blue eyes. ''It''s just exaggerated, I see.'' Kromael proudly believed that he was more handsome than the legendary dragon god. Still, appearance doesn''t mean anything when ites to strength. He maintained his noble facade and greeted, "Wee to the Bael Mansion, Dragon God." "Shall we enter the meeting room?" "Sure." Huo Yuhao replied with a nod. Everyone focused on the meeting between the Blue-Eyed Dragon God and the Great King Faction of the Underworld. They didn''t realize that Huo Yuhao''s shadow separated itself and stayed outside the mansion. Skye and Bronzy guarded the area in case some annoying flies decided to mess with this meeting. Both Dragons keenly watched the space around the mansion, observing the possible space disturbance. Huo Yuhao got escorted to the meeting room, where several people and the new devil''s kings had been waiting for him. He looked at these old devils and grinned at them, sending a shiver to their fossil-like spine. "Ah, some faces be wrinkled than before. A few of you are lucky that my saber didn''t kill you that day, huh?" A casualment suddenlyes from Huo Yuhao''s mouth. "Looks like the Great War doesn''t teach you guys a lesson." He grabbed the nearest chair with ruler authority and brought it over. Ajuka Beelzebub and Falbium Asmodeus couldn''t help but furrow their brows, watching the usual haughty elders of the Great King Faction tremble upon seeing Huo Yuhao. They underestimated the Blue-Eyed Dragon God''s action in the past. A devil woman in her mid-thirties bowed herself before Huo Yuhao and greeted, "W-We humbly weed the Blue-Eyed Dragon God to the Underworld." The other followed and added, "We humbly weed the Blue-Eyed Dragon God to the Underworld." Kromael Bael expected this kind of reaction already. His ancestor, Zekram Bael, had warned him about the Blue-Eyed Dragon God''s existence beforehand and told him to be wary every time. However, he wasn''t panicking or anything. That''s because he has a special weapon to deal with Huo Yuhao. ''Be useful for the n, Venna.'' Kromael thought while checking at the brte devil beside him. Everyone took their seats beside Huo Yuhao''spanion. Huo Yuhao watched everyone''s faces in the room andmented, "Not everyone attended this meeting, right? I believed the Great King Faction had more members than this." Kromael smiled and replied, "Unfortunately, only high-ranking ns within the Great King Faction and the devil kings could attend this meeting, Dragon God." "We obviously would pass on the resultter." Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead because this was getting more annoying than it should have been. He grabbed the chair''s armrest and crushed it with his hand. Crack! A breaking noise echoed in the meeting room. The old devils gasped when witnessing this. "Oy, who do you think you are?" Huo Yuhao gazed at Kromael. "Pardon??" Kromael didn''t expect a sudden shift of emotion from Huo Yuhao because he was actually friendly a second ago. The formerly reporter-looking young man now looks pissed for some reason. Everyone''s eyes suddenly widened as a powerful demonic aura exploded from Huo Yuhao''s body, filling up the meeting room and blowing the magic-tempered windows away. BOOM! COUGH!! "Listen, I''m not here to y with your childish noble blood shit." Huo Yuhao rested his chin on his hand. "I''m here to conquer this world." "Do you think I am a joke?" BOOOM! As the meeting room couldn''t handle the pressure, the rooftop was blown away by Huo Yuhao''s demonic aura. With all devils'' bloodlines in his body, True Daemon''s Race is a being that stood above them. Huo Yuhao is the Demon King, so his presence alone could kill devils in the vicinity. Kromael Bael gritted his teeth because he had never experienced such humiliation. His father always told him that he was born to be the winner of this era, having noble blood and the Power of Destruction flowing in his veins. Even the famous Ruin Empress is nothing but a pawn in his hand. Today, that''s not the case. Huo Yuhao''s aura didn''t stop spreading and covered the whole area of Bael Mansion, creating a crack in the magical barrier. In a matter of seconds, several hundred kilometers flooded with crimson energy. k! Huo Yuhao raised from his seat and walked to Kromael Bael, looking down on the prideful devil. "I ask once again, who do you think you are?" He questioned while stepping on Lord Bael''s hand. "K-Kromael-!" CRACK! "ARGH!!" "I said, who do you think you are?" Huo Yuhao repeated while releasing his Conqueror Haki a little. Kromael Bael looked up and saw a towering figure akin to the pir of heaven before him. The distance between them is too far toprehend, making him feel weak inside out. "I-I''m just a mere devil, Lord Dragon God..." He decided to swallow his pride once. Yes, just this once. After everything was over, Kromael Bael and Bael n would be the only ones on top. "Haa... It seemed just one isn''t enough." Huo Yuhaomented while opening his palm, causing a radiating ball of energy to form. It was violent and filled with the intent to destroy everything. Kromael immediately sucked a cold breath because he recognized this ability. No, everyone knows this ability. Venna covered her mouth in awe and mumbled, "Power of Destruction." Huo Yuhao clenched his hand and crushed Kromael''s leg with the Power of Destruction. And simply saying, "Hakai..." "ARRRGGGHHHH!!!" The Power of Destruction is the inherent ability of the Bael n''s members, but when Huo Yuhao used it, this ability evolved even higher than usual. After all, this world''s power scaling scuffed from the beginning. Magic only needed the power of imagination and potent demonic energy for a devil. Huo Yuhao possessed his previous life''s memory with a powerfully highprehension mind, allowing him to reach something that the devils of this world can''t do. [You have upgraded "Power of Destruction." to "Concept of Destruction." Lvl 5] "This is an example." Huo Yuhao released the concept of destruction. "I''m here to take over this ce." "Surrender now, or I''ll make you experience the same thing as this dumb shit." "W-We surrender-!" The devils trembled when feeling the gaze of those terrifying royal blue eyes. "Hold on!!" A shout suddenly echoed in the area. Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue in annoyance and saw magic circles around the Bael Mansion, covering the sky with colorful lights. Evo issued a quest when this happened. [Ding! You have triggered a quest] [Name: A meeting''s disturbance] [Objective: Kill the Original Satan''s Descendant(0/3] [Reward: 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x Martial Technique Lucky Spin] [Penalty: None] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao pressed Yes and watched a devil woman in revealing attire revealing herself from the magic circle. He gauged her strength and was bored because this woman was no different than Lord Bael. They are trash in power and personality. "Stop right there, Dragon God! How dare you conquer devils!!" Katerea Leviathan yelled while cropping her breast. "As the descendant of the Leviathan, I can''t let this happen." Serafall Leviathan clenched her hand and responded, "Katerea, please hear me out. You should surrender because I don''t want to watch the massacre here." "Think about it calmly. You''re no match for Huo Yuhao." "HMPH! IT''S UP TO ME TO DECIDE! SHUT UP, YOU LOWLY BITCH AND FAKE LEVIATHAN." Katerea returned with an even louder voice. It''s filled with disgust toward Serafall, who dares to steal Leviathan''s title. "With Ophis''s strength, no one could defeat me!!" She added proudly. Ophis tilted her head because Katerea was stupid. She isn''t even confident enough to fight Huo Yuhao herself, and her snake wouldn''t do anything to the blue-haired monster. ''If I fought Yuhao, He''ll be mad and stop giving me candy...'' Ophis thought, having a paleplexion when imagining that. Huo Yuhao cropped his finger into a hole and aimed it at Katerea Leviathan. "Skye." He called his servant indifferently. "Bite her." BAM! A shadowy creature jumped from the darkness and swallowed Katerea''s body, leaving the lifeless head to fall into the ground. SPLAT! The head sttered into meat paste and bones, causing everyone to be pale. They trembled because It was simply too fast for them to react. [Objective: 1/3] Evo notified. Huo Yuhao looked at the other descendants of the original devil kings and said, "I''m not giving you guys a choice. You had to die here and now." Chapter 118: The Meetings awkward end Chapter 118: The Meeting''s awkward end --- Chapter 118 --- "KATEREA!!" A dreadful shout reverberated in the Bael Mansion. The devil kings recognized this voice and looked at the person, whonded near the decapitated head of Katerea Leviathan. It''s a good-looking devil with ck hair tied in a ponytail and long ears, wearing a ck tunic with red ents and a ck cape. "Creuserey Asmodeus." Falbium Asmodeusmented while brushing off dust from his clothes. Huo Yuhao''s concept of destruction destroyed the building around them, so some debris was bound to hit them. Well, only fine dust resulted from his aura, weirdly. Ajuka Beelzebub frowned because everything went too well. He looked at Huo Yuhao and solemnly pondered about the message Grayfia Lucifage passed on to the devil kings before contacting the Great King Faction. ''There will be a slight disturbance, and some rats wille out of their holes when the meeting is ongoing.'' He couldn''t help but be amazed by Huo Yuhao''s ability to lure out the Old Satan Faction. Ajuka coldly trembled when realizing how terrifying Huo Yuhao was and mumbled, "He wanted to take over the devils in one swoop, destroying two factions left with one stone." "After that, there are no four factions anymore. Only devils under the Dragon Nest." Huo Yuhao stared at Creuserey and was bored because he didn''t meet the criteria to be his opponent. This guy only possessed pure devil blood with decent talent, but he somehow exuded such an arrogant air. He doesn''t want to use this term. Yet, no matter how he sees it, Creuserey is canon fodder. He looked down and watched Skye(Azure Sky Dragon''s Shadow) wagging its shadowy tail like a dog, ''Did I be too proud of myself too? Nope, this guy is just too weak.'' "I won''t let this slide! I''ll show you the true might of the original devil kings'' descendant!!" Creuserey roared while flexing a purple snake tattoo on his right arm. "Taste the snake blessed by the infinity dragon god, Ophis!" The devils from the Great King Faction were dumbfounded when hearing Ophis''s name because people believed the Ouroboros dragon was equal to Huo Yuhao in status and strength. They didn''t realize the child in Huo Yuhao''s seat was Ophis herself. Even Ophis was confused when her name "suddenly." was mentioned by Creuserey. This guy is dumb for fighting Huo Yuhao, but she can''t take her snake back immediately. Huo Yuhao instructed her to rx and watch the show. ''Candy is more important than you, Celery. Was it his name? Whatever Celery is green, and I don''t like green.'' Ophis picked a candy from her pouch and enjoyed it while watching the show. "HAHAHA, The power within my darkness is awakened!!" Creuserey Asmodeus yelled in excitement, leaving Huo Yuhao''s contracted souls speechless. ''Fuck, So Cringe!'' Tian Meng felt a shiver running through her body. ''Even this beautiful me knows her limit when showing greatness, foolish devil!'' Bing Di and Eluxia nodded as they somehow had to agree with Tian Meng''s statement this time because the Skydream Ice Worm at least knew her limit. "Star Extinguishing st!" A massive green magic circle appeared before them. Huo Yuhao didn''t even bother to defend himself andmented, "Well, I have never seen someone so shameless yet proud when using borrowed power." "Your ancestors would cry upon seeing this sight." "SHUT UP! What do you know about my origin!" Creuserey clenched his fist tightly. "Just go die!" Asmodeus n''s ability was called Starsend Moment, which allowed them to control the star energy in the atmosphere. It merged with demonic power and let the wielder unleash much powerful magic. Massive energy erupted from the magic circle, flying toward the half-destroyed castle. "Bronzy." Huo Yuhaomanded the Bronze Monarch''s shadow general without blinking his eyes. "Corrosion." BOOM! A massive shadow jumped from the shadow and stood over the mansion like a small mountain. It has a mainly shadow-like body with metallic brownish scales all over the body. Andst, a long yet spiky tail with a hammer-like end. ROAR! "BRONZE ERA! ROAR~!!" Bronzy let out a piercing dragon roar. The new monster created a tremendous shockwave filled with unknown property and let it face Creuserey''s attack, causing a space and time disturbance in the area. BOOM! Creuserey watched his attack make contact with Bronzy''s shockwave and lost momentum for some reason. The magic rapidly bes weaker, and the star glitters within it, turning into rusty dust. "T-This is..." Even Grayfia was surprised by Bronzy''s ability. As the descendant of the Lucifuge n, Grayfia knew very well how potent Starsend Moment was. It does not just amplify Asmodeus-Blooded Devils'' strength but also enchant their demonic power to be more resistant against other magic. The wielder of Starsend Moment also granted traits from the stars and allowed them to unleash powerful attacks by igniting their blood. The original Asmodeus was rumored to haveplete control of this ability and could draw star power indefinitely. Yet, that means nothing before the Bronze Monarch. "How??" Creuserey was in disbelief. Huo Yuhao smiled andmented, "I''m the one who killed your pitiful ancestor with these very hands. Do you think you could defeat me with that half-ass attack? Several hundred years too soon, boy. Even your ancestor couldn''t scratch me." "I-I have Ophis''s snake. I''m invincible!" Creuserey stuttered but kept his pride and stature firm. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and added, "Then, have a pleasant fight with my servant." "Go, Bronzy. He''s yours." "Kukuku, take my bronze era, mongrel!" Bronzy shouted and rushed toward Creuserey, creating some earthquakes with each step. A thundering battle roar echoed in the mansion as everyone watched the massive dragon st Creuserey away with its tail. BAM! "ARGGGHHH!" "I can''t DIE-!" SPLAT! The full force of Bronzy''s tail struck Creuserey and turned the devil into a meat paste, sticking to the mana barrier. Another descendant of the original devil kings has passed away. [Objective: 2/3] Everyone gasped in horror. It''s brutal. Too brutal for their eyes, but they couldn''t do anything about it. After all, those indifferent cold blue eyes don''t even look at them like living beings. Death is not new to them, but when Huo Yuhao does it, they feel unimaginable fear and dread from the deepest part of their souls. "What do you think?" Huo Yuhao asked the devils with a smile. "Should we continue this meeting with some lives on the line? Or reschedule because I want everyone. I want every devil n in the Underworld to attend it." That''s not a smile of a human, nor a dragon. That''s the smile of the cruelest devil they ever see. "Ah, before that. One rat wants to run away." Huo Yuhao suddenly said while gazing at the magic circle around the mansion. Magicians should have poured at any moment, but he sealed the space in this area beforehand, preventing anyone entering besides people with Title Douluo''s strength. Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and created a wormhole, forcing a devil man to smack his face onto the concrete floor. Everyone was startled again and stared at this new guy with solemn gazes. "Another one... Shalba Beelzebub." Ajuka squinted his eyes because this man was thest descendant of the original Beelzebub. Well, ording to the data, that''s it. Shalba gritted his teeth and cast teleportation magic, which "instantly." was canceled by Huo Yuhao. To be precise, Shalba''s magic circle got damaged into pieces before even being activated. "Huh?" He looked at his magic circle, grumbling in irritation. Huo Yuhao turned around and said, "It''s useless because all your magic would get canceled upon entering my vision. I''m still working on it, but this ability is convenient and powerful." For once, Huo Yuhao used the Belial n''s ability, Worthless. Worthless is a Demonic Power that allows the user to invalidate the special abilities or demonic powers of others. Despite its potency, it does have several weaknesses. The user must understand the properties of the objects they intend to nullify to render them "worthless."pletely. And Huo Yuhao cheated his way out of Worthless''s weakness because he could see the origin of all things with his eyes and used it up to 120%. He only needed one nce to know the mystery behind something. Though, only one mystery remained a mystery throughout Huo Yuhao''s life. And that''s women. "So Shalba, is there anyst word you want to say?" Huo Yuhao created a sword with his sacred gear. It''s a sword filled with holy power, having the property to burn the devil''s body and soul to the dust. Shalba sucked a cold breath, shivering when feeling the holy power from Huo Yuhao''s sword. He looked around and wanted help but remembered he was attacking this ce to spread his influence. "K-Kill me..." Shalba said while looking down. "Very well." Huo Yuhoa casually swung his sword. However, beyond everyone''s expectations, Shalba suddenly pulled out a dagger and lunged toward Huo Yuhao. This dagger is quite weird as ck liquid dripped from it. "DIEEEEE!!" He stabbed Huo Yuhao''s chest. "YUHAO!" Grayfia, Kuroka, and Ophis panicked. Ophis could feel a terrifying substance from the dagger and grasped her budding chest because she felt pain in her heart when seeing this. She doesn''t want Huo Yuhao to get hurt, despite knowing no one should be able to injure him in this world. ''What''s this feeling? I felt lost. Like the time when Baka Red stole the dimensional gap from me.'' Ophis thought, dropping a drop of tears. "Aww... So cute. You wanted to poison me with this dagger?" Huo Yuhao''s amused voice entered their ears. "Very unfortunate, my poison resistance is quite high, you know?" [Samael''s Poison has invaded your body] Evo notified with a dull tone. [You have resisted the poison] [You have received no damage from Samael''s Poison because of Heavenly Poison Body and Sky Poison Pearl] [Poison Resistance has reached level 369] "Too bad, right?" Huo Yuhao shed Shalba''s body in half, hearing the cry of agony from the devil. "ARRRRGGGGHHHH! MY BODY!!" [Objective: 3/3] [You have finished the quest] [Rewarding 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x Martial Technique Lucky Spin] Huo Yuhao threw his new sword into the Azure Emperor Vault and told his shadow general to prepare themselves as he would let the magician enter the mansion''s area. "Fia, ce a barrier on the room." Huo Yuhao returned to his seat. Grayfia nodded and immediately created a barrier, hearing a finger flick from Huo Yuhao. They watched hundred upon hundred of magicians summoned around the mansion, but a secondter, a violent gust blew them away from existence. Blood sttered everywhere, making some old devils remember the Great War. A monster floated in the sky with a bloodied battlefield below him. "Bronzy, leave some for interrogation." Huo Yuhao moved his gaze back to the devils in the meeting room. "You want to reschedule the meeting, right?" "Right??" His piercing blue eyes gaze straight into their souls. "Y-Yes, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." They are pressured and nod in defeat, having no way to fight him back. BOOM! The Bael Mansion was renovated by Skye and Bronzy, leaving only the castle, as everything within 100 kilometers radius is a mess. Of course, no friendly fire beside Lord Bael because Huo Yuhao only wants to make an example for them. "Everything is over, my liege." Skye and Bronzy bowed before Huo Yuhao. "Good job, take a rest." Huo Yuhao nodded lightly. A crimson magic circle appeared in the sky, and Sirzechs Lucifer appeared in his ck suit. "What happened?" He was confused. Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, "Yo, you''rete to the party." "Party..." The devils'' mouths twitched in disbelief. They couldn''t believe this monster at all. As every devil in the room was terrified by Huo Yuhao''s carefree attitude, three beauties of the Underworld watched him with a glistening and admiring gaze. ''Yuhao-sama, so cool~!!'' Grayfia waved a pompom excitedly in her mind. Serafall feltplicated by her feelings. After all, Huo Yuhao murdered the devil king''s descendant in cold blood. She liked he was decisive but also hated him for murdering without a sense of remorse. She''s no saint but wished for slight remorse from him. ''I hope he could be a proper lord of the devils. Wait, why don''t I help him to be one? That''s one of Magical Girl: Levia-Than''s abilities. Bringing hope to the underworld~!'' Serafall suddenly thought to herself. Venna Bael bit her lips a little because Huo Yuhao''s action was so hot in her eye, so dominating and aggressive, leaving no room for argument as he was absolute. "Maybe... Maybe he could help me?" She mumbled silently. Chapter 119: Seduction Plan? Chapter 119: Seduction n? --- Chapter 119 --- A day has passed since the "failed." meeting between the Great King Faction and the Blue-Eyed Dragon God. It''s hard to suppress the rumor when several earthquakes and typhoons appeared out of nowhere from the Bael Mansion. Well, It''s not like Huo Yuhao tried to hide it. "Right?" Lucifuge n''s Mansion, Grayfia''s Quarter. Huo Yuhao whistled while resting on the edge of the pool. He watched Ophis floating on the water with her floaties and ate candies like no tomorrow, devouring her middle of the day''s snack. Everything is going as nned except for one thing. "Lord Yuhao, what do you think of my swimsuit?" Venna Bael smiled and walked toward Huo Yuhao in her lust-inducing swimsuit, a white bikini with a floral pattern that cups her voluptuous breast and matching underwear wrapped around her wide yet creamy rear. Huo Yuhao was surprised, coughing and watching Venna''s body from top to bottom respectfully. Even though he has beautiful partners and can handle his desire quite well, there is nothing wrong with appreciating beauty. After all, he is a man too. "What about mine, Yuhao-sama?" Another voice approached him. Huo Yuhao turned around to the left and saw Grayfia bringing a tray full of refreshments from him. Unlike Venna''s provocative swimsuit, Grayfia is somehow able tobine her maid outfit with a swimsuit. Is she prepared for a situation like this? Grayfia modeled a ck one-piece bikini wrapped around her perky body perfectly and a see-through wet white apron on top of it, which somehow makes her lewder. There is also a window from the swimsuit, framing the sight between two mountains wlessly. Huo Yuhao gulped slightly upon seeing it, feeling a soft pillow wrapping his left arm. Venna took her chance and hugged him, having a yful smile on her face. "Lord Yuhao, you haven''t answered my question?" The brte devil coyly asked. "You look beautiful, Venna-san." Huo Yuhao replied with a wry expression. It was clear that she wanted his attention. Venna giggled and returned, "Hehe, You can drop the "San." from my name, you know. After hearing your statement yesterday, I know my status is lower than yours." "Kyaa, You''re so domineering~! It makes my heart skip a beat." "Then, Venna. Let''s keep it here." Huo Yuhao smiled a little. It''s not like he doesn''t like Venna or anything, but her intention to break the limitation ced by the Bael n with his help is weak. Venna is a beautiful woman. Don''t get Huo Yuhao wrong, but he wouldn''t help someone that couldn''t help herself. She has to show her worth, not just as a pitiful woman but also as a strong-willed person that could break worldlyws. "Stay away from Yuhao-sama, Venna." Grayfia ced the tray on the floor and frowned at the brte. Venna rubbed her cheek cluelessly and responded, "Eh, But I did nothing wrong? As the escort assigned from the Great King Faction, I only do my duty to apany Lord Yuhao." "Truthfully, I don''t have a problem with it." Grayfia pulled Huo Yuhao to her bosom. "However, you''re from the Bael n. Who would have known that you were approaching Yuhao-sama with an ulterior motive." "Do you really see me that way, Grayfia?" Venna smiled weakly. Grayfia didn''t miss a beat and answered, "Yes." Vennaughed in amusement because that answer hit quite a sore spot in her heart. Grayfia knew she was a mere tool for the Bael n without its own desire, wanting freedom that doesn''t even exist. She looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "I got a headache. I''ll rest in my room for a while." Venna brought a towel from her magical earring and covered her body with it, walking away in a gloomy mood. Her lonely figure gradually disappeared from Huo Yuhao''s field vision. "She is always like that." Grayfia sighed while cing a drink on Huo Yuhao''sp. "Venna Bael is a once in a thousand years genius. Her talents "strictly." were nurtured by the Bael n from the tender age of three, turning her into a puppet for them." Grayfia looked at the path Venna took and added, "She never felt an ounce of love from her family as her mother is just a mere subus who falls in love with the previous Lord Bael. And that mother passed away before Venna could even feel mother''s love." "She never had a genuine smile on her face. If you see one, it''s either fake or only to act polite." "That sounds miserable." Huo Yuhao sipped his drink. "However, It''s not the right time to help her." "Grayfia, do you want to know what my mother enjoyed the most?" Grayfia tilted her head and replied, "Is it Yuhao-sama?" "Well, not that obvious. I mean in general." "In general?" "Yeah, What my mother likes the most is a person with a will to fight their destiny and fate. She likes irregrs because they could be a good wife for me and match her requirements." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Eh, Wife??" Grayfia was startled. "Well, engaged would be the correct word for now. Do you think Shishou and Ying''er just became my fiancee by doing nothing?" He chuckled helplessly because Huo Yun''er is a kind woman, but to make her son happy, any girl or woman had to fit her demands first. Grayfia gulped nervously, imagining the gruesome or almost impossible task Huo Yuhao''s mother tasked Scathach and Qianye Ying''er. She clenched her hand slightly as she should have expected that being on Huo Yuhao''s side wouldn''t be easy. ''I have to prepare myself.'' The silver-haired devil vowed to be worthy before meeting her master''s mother. A powerful will to fight her destiny and fate? She would do anything for Huo Yuhao. "Uugh, I''m back Nyaa~!" Kuroka jumped out of a teleportation magic circle. Huo Yuhao smiled at the ck cat and greeted, "Wee back." "How was it? Do you find anything useful about the Naberius n''sboratory?" Kuroka sighed and replied, "No." "Everything has been burned to the ground. No evidence was left behind besides my sister and me in that experiment. I have this vivid memory about my mother''s gift before she passed away, but I forgot where it disappeared." Huo Yuhao patted Kuroka''s head and said, "It''s okay. We aren''t in a rush anyway." Kuroka purred happily, wagging her butt left and right in joy because of something about Huo Yuhao''s warm hand pleasing her. It''s instinctual behavior from her blood, wanting to submit to him. ''Hehehe~! Darling smells so good.'' The nekoshou thought while rubbing her face on his thigh. Bear in mind, Kuroka is in her human form. "Go Sleep." Grayfia pulled out her handgun and struck Kuroka with a time bullet, freezing the depraved cat''s time. She pulled Kuroka from her leg and threw her to the pool. Ssh! "NYAAA~!!!" "SO COLD~!!!" Kuroka''s time returned to normal and cold water immediately weed her. She shivered because Grayfia''s attack was so fast for her reaction time. She rubbed her head on Huo Yuhao''s thigh a moment ago, but suddenly water sshed onto her face. "YOU''RE SO COLD, NYAA!!" She yelled at Grayfia. "Hmm? Did you say something?" Grayfia pointed her handgun at Kuroka, making the nekoshou grit her teeth in annoyance because this was unfair. Kuroka is also part of the Dragon Nest, so how could only Grayfia awaken her martial soul? ''What am Icking? Hehe, should I be more stealthy with my approach?'' Kuroka floated in the pool. ''Since Huo Yuhao never pushed me away, he doesn''t dislike me. Yosh, I can do this, Nyaa~!!'' She pumped her fist in the air. [Kuroka''s loyalty has increased] [You now could awaken Kuroka''s Martial Soul] Huo Yuhao raised one brow and stared at the appearing system panel with a somewhat surprised look. He expected this to happen sooner orter, but day and a half longpared to Grayfia, Gabriel, and Azazel. Well, they have their own cases on viewing him. Grayfia is a maid who admired him from a young age and had quite a fetish in the master&servant''s rtionship. Gabriel used his existence as a coping mechanism, healing her injured heart slowly and ultimately with the new experience. As for Azazel, Huo Yuhao thought the fallen angel was salty or wanted to be a cultivator with excitement when hearing about the Douluo Dalu Universe. ''I''ll call Kuroka to my roomter.'' Huo Yuhao finished his drink and stared at the sky with a crooked smile. The Underworld is no different from than outside world, except for the sky. It''s murky red. The area around Lucifuge''s Mansion has been cast with magic, making the sky blue. It''s still fake, and Huo Yuhao doesn''t fancy it. "Since when did I be obsessed with the color blue?" He sighed while looking at Grayfia, who sat beside him. Grayfia enjoyed her time with Huo Yuhao and daydreamed about something, not realizing her master''s gaze. Cough! Huo Yuhao faked a cough because he had stared at her beauty enough and said, "Fia, maybe it''s time for dinner already." Grayfia smiled and replied, "I''ll prepare the dinner then. You can rest, and I''ll call you again, Yuhao-sama." "Mm, thanks." Huo Yuhao returned with a nod. ... ... Huo Yuhao''s Room. He stepped into the guest room prepared by Grayfia and closed the door, yawning because the Underworld was much more boring than expected. "Hmm??" Magic is covering the room from outside, preventing anyone from entering this room. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Venna in a bathrobe, "What''s the meaning of this, Venna?" "Lord Yuhao, do you dislike me?" Venna asked instead. "Am I not beautiful enough?" Venna walked to Huo Yuhao and stared into his mesmerizing royal blue eyes. She could never get enough of it. Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead and answered, "Haa... You''re mistaking me. I do think you''re beautiful, Venna." "Then, why??" She suddenly pushed him onto the bed. Venna unrevealed her bathrobe and let Huo Yuhao see her body in full glory. Every curve is revealed with no shame as she has the pride to be one of three beauties in the Underworld. "For Lord Yuhao, I''m willing." "I''m willing to do anything." "You''re crying..." Huo Yuhao''s gentle voice struck her ears. Venna''s eyes dropped a streak of tears, her emotion was unstable, and the Power of Destruction inside her was in chaos. She lunged toward Huo Yuhao and kissed him. Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to break the boundary, but consoling her should be enough. Leaving her in this state would be dangerous. Their kisssted for a minute, but it felt like forever. Venna''s supple and soft lips are heavenly, rivaling Scathach''s, yet the devil is more skilled than the warrior queen in this field. Her tongue danced with Huo Yuhao''s, falling into an unknown passion. Another hot minute passed. Venna broke the kiss and gasped for air, huffing her voluptuous chest slightly. Her purple eyes focused on Huo Yuhao and sparkled because he didn''t push her off. "Let''s stop here..." Huo Yuhao suddenly said, breaking her expectations. "We barely know each other, Venna." "Do you truly like me? What about my feelings?" "Don''t you think you''re egoist?" "I-I..." Venna couldn''t form a word. Huo Yuhao hugged her and continued, "Venna. You should appreciate yourself more." "You''re a beautiful woman with blessed looks and talents." "Freedom isn''t something others could grant without cause. You need to help yourself first. Like, Who''s Venna Bael?" "I-I''m sorry..." Venna wiped her tears in a hurry. She felt ashamed because of her selfishness. "I-I''ll return to the Bael n first, Lord Yuhao..." "Thank you forforting me." She picked up her bathrobe with a trembling hand and walked to the door, but for a moment. Huo Yuhao could see a faint ck tattoo on her white back, which ruined her beauty. Venna forced a weak smile for thest time and said, "Then, Lord Yuhao..." "See youter..." Eluxia opened her mouth for the first time after observing Huo Yuhao and Venna Bael''s conversation. "Yuhao, that tattoo..." The necromancer said with a frown. "Yeah..." A cold whisper escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. "ve Seal." Chapter 120: Kurokas Awakening and Lord Baels Last Plan Chapter 120: Kuroka''s Awakening and Lord Bael''s Last n --- Chapter 120 --- Huo Yuhao felt a little bad for Venna because rejecting her advance toward him was the only way to wake her up. He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose, lying on the bed with aplicated expression. "Have you scanned the seal, teacher?" He called over Eluxia, the necromancer. Eluxia nodded and replied, "Even though this world had a fundamental difference from ours, the seal isn''t moreplex than my spiritual codex. I could sense the ill intent behind it." "Counting your research on this world''s magic, I could copy the method of the ve Seal within a few breaths." She proudly added, lifting her nose slightly. Huo Yuhaoughed a little and asked, "How adorable. Since when did you be this prideful? Don''t tell me sister daydreams have been influencing you?" "RUDE!" Tian Meng interrupted Huo Yuhao''sments on her. "I didn''t teach her anything, hmph!" "This sister only acts natural all her life. My motto is "Life is too short for my beauty!" So you heard that right!" Bing Di couldn''t help but roll her eyes because this worm''s narcism had grown too much. "Now I''m regretting ever meeting with you." She cursed while freezing the worm in ten-inch ice. "What-!" Before Tian Meng could respond to Bing Di, the ice had sealed her. With that depth of ice, she wouldn''t be able to move for a few hours or possibly half a day. Eluxia chuckled and said, "I only picked one or two habits from Tian Meng and Bing Di. It''s not that bad." "What do you mean it''s not that bad?" Bing Di was speechless. Huo Yuhao shook his head andmented, "Okay, stop arguing with each other. Even though we aren''t in the Douluo Dalu Universe, I have started to sense a slight change in the air." "This world hasn''t been fully conquered yet, but the Spirit Energy started to generate in the atmosphere. It was faint the second time we arrived in this world, but now it''s around 6.9% thicker than before." "Ah." Now that Huo Yuhaomented on this, Tian Meng and Bing Di feel the sudden change in the atmosphere. There is a slight Spirit Energy in the air, which seems faintpared to their homeworld. Still, it''s praiseworthy, considering this ce didn''t have any weeks ago. Spirit Energy''s concentration between the Underworld and the Human World is also different. As the human world is neutral, the Spirit Energy within the Underworld is contaminated with demonic energy, making it suitable for devils and other dark creatures. It doesn''t mean the devils could wield the Spirit Energy freely because they had to awaken their martial soul to utilize it. They could feel and even use it, but with this concentration level, even bing Spirit Grandmaster is hard. Not to mention, Spirit Masters need Spirit Rings to increase their realms. Without Spirit Rings, even a person who somehow awakened a martial soul couldn''t achieve much. Only beast-like creatures benefitted from these changes because they could be Spirit Beasts and grow more powerful than before. Since bloodline matters in Spirit Beast''s cultivation, Dragons could possibly reach the 100.000 years mark in a few years. ''I might have to visit the familiar forestter. Who knows that I was lucky enough to encounter poke-! I mean, familiar monster to get bound as my Vampire''s servant.'' Huo Yuhao recalled a person. Specifically, a guy parodied as Ash Ketchum or Satoshi in the familiar forest. Huo Yuhao shook his head because the matter of Venna wandered to another topic. He sighed and contacted Kuroka through their spiritual link, telling Nekoshou to visit his bedroom. Grayfia was busy arranging the Lucifuge Mansion because she was the only Lucifuge alive. Her father and mother passed away one hundred years ago, leaving this ce dusty. She also has a younger brother, but his location is unknown. Huo Yuhao heard Grayfia banished her younger brother somewhere else years ago, not allowing the foolish man to tarnish Lucifer''s Will. "Did you call me Darling nyaa~!" A ck cat jumped from the window andnded on Huo Yuhao''s bed, wiggling her body slightly. She blinked a few times because of the female devil''s scent lingering in the room. This sweet yet alluring scent could make men''s hearts melt instantly. However, seeing Huo Yuhao''splexion. He seems fine. She rubbed her cat''s chin and asked, "Venna Bael tried to seduce you a while ago, right?" "Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded his head. "She''s desperate and not in the right state of mind. I cannot help her yet because it wouldn''t be good for herter. Venna has more than enough strength to destroy the Bael n. Nheless, she got shackled like a loyal dog by the lord bael using the ve Seal." "Wait, ve Seal?? Huh?!" Kuroka was shocked. "Not even a peerage contract, but a ve Seal?" Even though Kuroka hasn''t been in the Underworld for years, ve Seal was "strictly." banned after the peerage system created by Ajuka Beelzebub. After all, the peerage system is considered a master-servant rtionship already, but ve Seal is even lower than that. Victims of ve of Seal are nothing but animals waiting for someone to take their lives. With a simple order like, "Kill yourself." the victim would attempt suicide instantly. And There is no such thing as fighting back. "How despicable one could be..." Kuroka mumbled to herself. The nekoshou couldn''t help but feel pity for Venna Bael. The Ruin Mistress of the Underworld is a ve of Lord Bale. Kuroka recalled Venna''s dreamy look before checking the Naberius Laboratory, ''No wonder she always makes that expression when looking at Darling.'' "Hmm, this isn''t the right time." "But you''ll save her eventually, no?" Huo Yuhao wryly smiled when hearing Kuroka''s remark and replied, "Yeah. I''ll try my best to help Venna." "I''ve nted my blood mark on her body and soul before so that danger wouldn''t touch her." He patted Kuroka and added, "Anyway, I''m calling you here to awaken your martial soul." "Eh?" Kuroka was surprised. Her eyes glittered in excitement because she had been waiting for this. She rubbed her face on Huo Yuhao''s thigh and yelled, "Then, what are you waiting for, Nyaa?! I want to awaken my martial soul now!" Looking at the frantic cat, Huo Yuhao warned her that the procedure would be a painful experience. Weirdly, Kuroka didn''t mind and even breathed heavily for some reason when listening to his warning. "Hehe~!" Kuroka cheekily grinned and turned to her human form, lying her head on Huo Yuhao''sp. She stuck out her tongue adorably. Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "I warned you already." [Do you want to awaken Kuroka''s Martial Soul?] [Yes/No] ''Yes.'' Huo Yuhao pressed the invisible system panel. "NYAAA~!!" A lewd moan echoed in the room, making Huo Yuhao cough nervously. "MM~! AAAAHHH~!!!" [Kuroka has awakened "Elementals Beads." Martial Soul] "IT''S SO PAINFUL, YUHAO~!!!" Huo Yuhao flicked Kuroka andmented, "It''s over, stop ying around." "EHH~! But you haven''t pampered me yet." Kuroka pouted and wiggled her twin mountains at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao pped her rear and returned, "Don''t be a naughty kitty now. Bring out your martial soul so I can assess your future cultivation." Kuroka blushed when he pped her buttocks and brought out five beads from her chest. Each represents fundamental elements of this world. [Name: Elemental Beads] [Type: Martial Soul/Tool-Type] [Grade: SS+] [Description: Elemental Beads. It''s a tool-type martial soul manifested beads of fundamental elements. Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood Elements] "Oh, so this is a martial soul." Kuroka yed around with balls. No, she yed around with beads of elements. Huo Yuhao pondered briefly because Elemental Beads was quite a versatile martial soul. "Kuroka, which elements do you want to master first?" He asked calmly. Kuroka remembered the technique Huo Yuhao used when training sage energy. She looked at him and answered firmly, "Wood, Nyaa~!" "So I can handle wood like you~!" ''This cat is a fucking pervert!'' Tian Meng yelled from the spiritual sea. Bing Di rolled her eyes and sneered, ''Pots calling kettle ck.'' Huo Yuhao ignored Kuroka''s innuendo and picked a Rune Stone from his inventory, throwing it to her. "Absorb this. You awakened to level 10 immediately like Grayfia and Gabriel." He said while stretching his neck. Huo Yuhao checked his shoulder and saw a hickey mark left by Venna. He looked at the ceiling and mumbled, "Please bear it for a moment there, Venna." ... ... Bael Mansion. "Useless!" Kacha! Kromael Bael threw a vase at Venna and scratched her cheek, making blood drip to the floor. However, the brte devils appeared to be emotionless, like a doll. "You can''t even seduce that goddamn bastard?" "You useless bitch, no wonder father ignored your trashy slut of a mother." Venna stared at her brother silently and remembered Huo Yuhao''s words an hour ago. ''Who''s Venna Bael?'' She thought to herself. ''Who am I?'' ''I am nothing but a ve...'' Kromael squinted his eyes and groaned, "Why did you cry?" "Stop crying, for fuck sake." "Yes, brother." Venna stopped crying abruptly, but her dim purple eyes remained moist. Even though ve Seal has taken over Venna''s body, her emotion can resurface a little. Kromael looked at his non-existent leg and broken hand, gritting his teeth in humiliation. He was furious. How could a noble blood like him get treated like this? ''I have to use another pawn. A useful puppet that could help me eradicate the Blue-Eyed Dragon God.'' He thought while looking at Venna. "Bitch, heal yourself and clean the floor." Venna grazed her cheek and used healing magic on herself, kneeling to wipe her blood. "Use your tongue. Lick the floor clean." Kromael has a bright idea when seeing this to satisfy himself. Venna trembled slightly but followed his order. The sight of Ruin Empress turning into a dog-like creature makes Kromaelugh loudly. He grabbed a bottle of wine on the table and said, "HAHAHA~! Yes, this is the way. And This is how people should act before me!" Venna stayed in her position with blood stains ruining her beautiful face. "Done, brother." She replied monotonously. Kromael finished his wine and continued, "Venna, this is your new order." "You''ll seduce the Daihauser Belial tonight. Get his seed and bore a child with your trashy blood." "Abination of Bael''s Power of Destruction and Belial''s Worthless should be a good pawn against the Blue-Eyed Dragon God. That annoying dragon shall die in my hand in the future." "Do you understand?" He lowered his gaze. "Yes..." Venna answered tly. After getting dismissed by Kromael, Venna walked out of the office and mindlessly stared at the long path ahead. She could see a gloomy future waiting for her. "Freedom isn''t something one could grant without cause..." Huo Yuhao''s voice appeared in her head. "Appreciate yourself more, Venna." "You''re a beautiful woman with talents..." "Do you really like me?" She cried with tears running from her eyes but maintained a t, emotionless expression. "Venna-sama..." David, the butler, was standing with a saddened look. Looking at Venna''s miserable expression makes his old heart ache. Venna smiled at David and replied, "I''m okay, prepare the carriage to the meeting ce. I have to settle something first." David looked at Venna''s back and mumbled, "You''re not okay, Venna-sama. Your eyes are crying for help..." "You deserved better than this." Even though David wants to help, he is just a mere butler with limited strength. He clenched his fist and said, "I have to confront the Blue-Eyed Dragon God about this." "He''s the only one who could lift Venna-sama from Bael n''s curse." Chapter 121: Small Talk and Misla Baels Cure Chapter 121: Small Talk and Mi Bael''s Cure --- Chapter 121 --- "What''s this..." "What are you doing here, David?" Grayfia Lucifuge stared at the butler of Bael House with a suspicious gaze. David smiled weakly and kneeled before Grayfia, pushing his forehead on the ground. "P-Please let me talk with the Blue-Eyed Dragon God." He said desperately. "This is about Venna-sama." "At this rate, we wouldn''t be able to save her from the Bael n." Grayfia frowned because David had always been on her gray list. After all, this old devil didn''t only survive the Great War but also served the Bael n for more than three generations. His strength is admirablepared to other old devils, but he couldn''t do anything because of Zekram Bael''s existence. "Let him in, Fia." Huo Yuhao leaned on the gate. "I''ve been waiting for him." After the first meeting, Huo Yuhao has been keeping tabs on everyone''s faces, and David is the only one who stood out because he survived his Saber years ago. ''Having a good memory is convenient.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. Grayfia didn''t say much and opened the gate to let David in. Even though she was suspicious about this man, Yuhao-sama ordered her. "Don''t say useless things." She warned when closing the gate again. David released a cold sweat and replied, "I''ll keep that in my mind." He sighed because devils these days are monstrouspared to the old days. It''s also a sign that bloodline doesn''t matter because reincarnated devils have shown more potential than their masters. The only exception in this new wave of changes is people like Grayfia Lucifuge, Venna Bael, and the new devil kings. Of course, there is an abnormality, the current Rating Game''s Champion, Diehauser Belial. Diehauser Belial possessed a powerful innate ability called Worthless, allowing him to cancel all kinds of attacks. People called him the most "powerful." devil in this era, but David begs differently. Unlike Diehauser Belial, Grayfia never shows off her power to the public, and many people make spections. One day, Grayfia Lucifuge appeared on the border between the Realm of Death and Devil''s Domain, ying millions of dead spirits with one demonic energy st. ''The silver guardian is still terrifying.'' David walked into the Lucifuge n''s mansion. However, Huo Yuhao brought David to the garden for some reason. "Sit." Huo Yuhao created a wooden chair out of the earth. David sat on the chair and looked at Huo Yuhao nervously because the individual before him was very random, to be honest. Even in the Great War, no one knows his true intention besides conquering this world. Huo Yuhao created the same chair and continued, "Talk." "U-Um..." David felt threatened when getting red at by Huo Yuhao, but the blue-haired young man was simply in a horrible mood now. It''s not David''s fault. It''s the fault of the current devil''smunity. Huo Yuhao doesn''t have a problem with inequality because Dragon Nest works that way, but he firmly believes everyone should have a chance topete. Having a little richer bloodline than others doesn''t mean you won''t die at the end of the day. Huo Yuhao calmed his aura and listened to David''s story, feeling a little bad because his constion didn''t seem to work on Venna. An hourter, he remembered someone with Bael''s name in the original story. "David, do you know someone with the name Sairaorg Bael?" He suddenly asked. David was shocked because Huo Yuhao knew the infamous banished son of the Bael n. He weakly smiled and answered, "Yes." "Sairaorg Bael is the first son of Lord Bael. He was banished from the main mansion because he couldn''t use the Power of Destruction, making him a source of mockery for years." "However, just a year ago. Sairaorg-sama grew into the most powerful young devil in the rating game as no one could defeat him and his peerage." "His mother, Mi Bael, has been in aa due to the devil''s sleeping disease 17 years ago." David looked at Huo Yuhao and continued, "Since Lord Bael was disappointed with his first son, he married another woman immediately and made another heir." "It caused Bael n to be in a somewhatplicated situation because Lord Bael''s twin sister, Kalia Gremory, supported Sairaorg to be the next lord." "Kalia Gremory?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but have a weird expression on his face. After all, Venna should be the wife of Zeoticus Gremory in the original story, but the new Lord Bael''s twin sister actually coveted that spot. He doesn''t know if this was a lucky or unlucky progression for him. Still, remembering Venna''s face four hours ago makes Huo Yuhao bitter. So many changes he doesn''t even know from the original story happened because of him. Yet, some plots like Issei Hyoudou''s devil reincarnation, Kiba''s holy sword project, and Koneko''s Naberius n incident still urred like the original. "The world''s fate is fixing itself despite the changes..." It''s the only conclusion Huo Yuhao had right now. "Pardon?" David was confused by Huo Yuhao''sments. Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "Nothing. The meeting will get held in 6 hours, so escort me to Sairoarg Bael''s ce. I wanted to have some words with him." David was unmoved and mumbled, "What about Venna-sama..." "She would be fine because everything is ording to my n." Huo Yuhao patted the butler''s shoulder. David felt Huo Yuhao''s words and felt at ease for once, hoping that Venna could obtain her happiness now. "Fia, let''s meet again in the meeting ce. Also, bring Kuroka and Ophis with youter because they are cultivating right now." Huo Yuhao ordered the maid calmly. Grayfia smiled and replied, "Will do, Yuhao-sama." David escorted Huo Yuhao to the small vi on the edge of the Bael n''s territory. This ce is so barren because no one lived within 10 kilometers, except a small group of servants under Sairaorg Bael. Huo Yuhao looked down and saw a young man with a slightly buff physique kneeling on the ground, doing a squad with sweats all over his body. "For an outcast, he''s not bad." Hemented because this guy reminded him of someone from Shinobi World. "Thanks to Lord Bael''s aggressive way of thinking, Sairaorg could train without worry." "And he might have realized this." "But his demonic energy is way above the three heiresses I met at Kuoh City." [Name: Sairaorg Bael] [Age: 20] [Race: Pure-Blooded Devil(Bael & Asmodeus/Unawakened)] [Level: High-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Spirit Saint/Level 79] [Description: The calm and aloof banished son of the Bael n, cultivating his strength and influence to avenge his mother] "Let''s see..." Huo Yuhao ditched David''s magic circle and forciblynded on the ground near Sairaorg. BAM! "Who?" Sairaorg dodged out of his instinct and raised his arms to defend himself. As the dust cleared, he saw a blue-haired young man with ck-framed sses. Since he had heard the rumor about yesterday''s event, he frowned and asked, "May I know why the Blue-Eyed Dragon God decided to visit this small territory of mine?" "Just curiosity." Huo Yuhao answered while staring at Sairaorg''s purple eyes. Unlike his father, Sairaorg''s eyes are firm and filled with determination to survive. There are no hints of arrogance, either. What a good seedling. "Curiosity?" Sairoarg was speechless. What kind of person barged into someone''s home to satisfy their curiosity? A weird one, for sure. Huo Yuhao ignored Sairaorg''s weird gaze and added, "Sairaorg Bael, do you want to be stronger? Stronger than your corrupted and arrogant father?" "I''ll give you a chance to get a good punch on his annoying face. After that, you''ll be the new Lord Bael." He smirked faintly. They say never make a deal with the devil. However, hearing Huo Yuhao''s offers makes Sairaorg Bael tempted for a moment. "What''s good for bing the new Lord? I only wanted a cure for my mother''s disease." Sairaorg responded casually. ''Got you.'' Huo Yuhao''s smirk bes a grin. "Then, I''ll cure your mother." "Bring me to her ce." "..." Sairaorg. Even though Sairaorg couldn''t believe Huo Yuhao''s words or trust him, he couldn''t do anything to the Blue-Eyed Dragon God. His strength is far weakerpared to Huo Yuhao. "Trust him, Sairaorg-sama." David suddenly appeared, breathing heavily because Huo Yuhao forcibly broke his magic circle. "He''s our only hope now." "David!" Sairaorg''s eyes widened because the butler before him was the only messenger from the main house that cared about his mother and him. Hearing David''s words, Sairoaorg sighed in relief. "Fine, follow me." He brought Huo Yuhao to a small house near the flower garden. "I''m back, mom..." Sairaorg''s expression mellowed a little, which amused Huo Yuhao from the inside because he understood what this young devil felt. It sure reminded Huo Yuhao of when Huo Yun''er fell into sickness six years ago. [Name: Mi Bael] [Age: 269] [Race: Pure-Blooded Devil(Bael & Asmodeus(Under Awakening)] [Level: High-ss Devil] [Battle Power: Spirit Trainee/ Level 1] [Description: A lost child of the Asmodeus n, hiding her identity to this day. She fell into aa because the inferior Bael''s Blood is trying to prevent Asmodeus''s Blood Awakening] ''Another change... it was Lucia Halphas, who possessed the blood of Beelzebub. Now it''s Mi with Asmodeus.'' Huo Yuhao was surprised. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh a little when seeing Mi Bael''s status because this exins everything. The irony of Lord Bael banishing his son for being inferior is when Asmodeus''s blood flows in him. He bet Lord Bael doesn''t even realize his bedridden wife is part of the Asmodeus n. "Can you cure her?" Sairoarg asked weakly. Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Before doing that. I''ll add another offer for you." "Join Dragon Nest." "Your organization?" The young devil returned with bewilderment. "Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded casually. "After I heal your mother, join my organization and swear your loyalty with all your heart." ''Deal." Sairaorg watched Huo Yuhao lowering his hand and shaking it immediately because his mother was all that mattered to him. Huo Yuhao walked to Mi Bael''s bed and closed his eyes briefly, allowing True Daemon''s blood to ignite in his body. David and Sairaorg were dumbfounded because twelve devil wings unfurled from Huo Yuhao''s back. Isn''t he supposed to be a dragon? What''s wrong with this pressure? "Devil God..." Davides to a realization. "There is a rumor once that the devils birthed by Lilith are not true devils." "All the current devils bore the first human''s blood within their veins." "Except for the first Lucifer, who manifested because of the failed concept that Biblical God failed to finish. There is supposedly a devilish being that stood on the pinnacle of all devil ns, including devil kings and Extra Devil ns..." "The devils in the past called that creature..." "The Inverse Solomon: Ars Goetia." Huo Yuhao''s blue hair becamepletely white, and his clear skin darkened slightly. A wide crack with crimson light appeared around his eyes, spreading to his neck and shoulders. His royal blue eyes be devilish ck with crimson pupils. "Hmm... What a weird sensation." Huo Yuhao ced his finger on Mi Bael''s forehead, fully awakening her blood with outside stimtion. BOOM! The Power of Destruction and Starsend Moment collided in the room, but Huo Yuhao canceled them with his Worthless instantly. Mi opened her eyes and felt an urgency to bow before someone. She looked at Huo Yuhao and cried as her devil''s blood felt an urgency to serve this young man. "Mi... Awaken from her sleep to serve the Devil God." She lowered her head, causing Sairaorg and David''s eyes to widen in shock. [Mi Bael has be your subordinate] Evo reported with the usual dull tone. [Mi''s Loyalty has increased] [Mi''s Loyalty has increased] [Mi''s Loyalty has increased] [Mi''s Loyalty has increased] [You now could awake Mi Bael''s Martial Soul] "..." Huo Yuhao. "Rise." "We shall talk about this matterter." "For now, talk with your son." "Yes, Devil God." Mi lifted her head and saw Sairaorg. She cried once again because her son had be a healthy young adult. "Mother!" Sairoarg rushed and hugged Mi. David looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Uh, Devil God." "Call me like usual." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched because he would have too many titles at this point. [You have obtained a new title] [Milf Hunter] Chapter 122: The Second Meeting Chapter 122: The Second Meeting --- Chapter 122 --- "Ugh... What kind of training was this? It''s cruel." Sairoarg sat on the ground with a tomato-likeplexion because Huo Yuhao ced gravity runes on his body, forcing all his demonic body within him to ignite continuously. It also put extreme strain on his muscles, like a thousand horses pulling them apart. "We only have a few hours before the meeting starts, so I have to awaken your bloodline before that." Huo Yuhao answered casually. "Your mother fell asleep because of her Asmodeus''s Blood shing with Bael''s Blood, and you are her child. Do you want to experience the same thing?" "She was lucky I could forcibly trigger the bloodline''s factor." "One wrong move and she could have died." Sairoarg could only sigh when hearing that because he also never heard of Devil''s Sleeping Disease cures. There are some rumors, but he hasn''t found a source to help his mother. David is right. Huo Yuhao is his only hope. "Here, eat this." Huo Yuhao threw a body-tempering pill from his inventory. It''s a drug that could awaken one''s potential, like the Disappointment Wine he made, but less potent because Sairaorg couldn''t ept all the benefits. Honestly, the wine still could awaken Sairaorg''s potential but also poisoned and exploded his body to pieces. [Name: Sairaorg Bael] [Age: 20] [Potential: SS] [Rmended Path: Star Martial Artist, Demonic Pugilist, Star Destruction Battle King, Dragon Nest''s Guardian] Sairoarg grabbed the pill mid-air and stared at it weirdly. Why does this remind him of those cultivation novels he read in his spare time? He looked at Huo Yuhao and mumbled, "Don''t tell me..." "Senior, are you teaching me how to cultivate?" [Sairaorg Bael''s Loyalty has increased] ''Fuck, not this again!'' Huo Yuhao was speechless. He squinted his eyes at Sairaorg and watched the young devil have an enlightened expression on his face. It makes him feel weird or maybe disgusted in a way. "Stop staring at me like that." He coldly said. "Eat the goddamn pill, and close your eyes." "No matter how painful it was, endure the pain." Sairaorg took a deep breath and consumed the body-tempering pill without hesitation. He could feel the foreign energy invading his body, clearing something inside. "T-This feeling." "Am I about to make a breakthrough!" Huo Yuhao pped Sairaorg''s forehead with a gentle love tap and indifferently said, "Stop saying cringy shits and focus..." "Ara~! Was Sairaorg angered Devil God?" Mi walked to the training field in her slumbering robe. Even though she received Huo Yuhao''s demonic energy, it couldn''t change her skinny and weak body instantly. Though, Mi awakened both the Power of Destruction and Starsend Moment to a very high degree. From Huo Yuhao''s view, Thisbination was "honestly." considered one of the strongest as Mi could use her abilities to destroy the Underworld. Mi was the vassal house(Vap) of the Bael n with pure devil blood because her mother possessed Bael''s blood too. Her duty was to marry Kromael Bael in the past and bore an heir for him. Sadly, Asmodeus''s Blood acts up and causes misery for her. It''s a blessing and a curse. Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "No, your son is just acting delusional, so I punish him ordingly." "Hehe, is that so?" Mi giggled happily. "Still, are you going to kill my husband?" Hearing that, Huo Yuhao stared at Mi''s face. She''s calm-tempered and has such a sweet smile when asking that question. "So what? Are you still loving your dear husband, Mi?" He returned casually. "Haha, No way..." Mi mustered a smallugh as she could feel a strong sarcasm in Huo Yuhao''s words. Not to mention the words dear husbands make her feel sick again. She did like Kromael in the past, feeling the result of Sairaorg''s abnormality was her fault. Then, Huo Yuhao told her that she and Sairaorg have Asmodeus''s blood in their veins. It changes her perspective slightly. Only because of this blood they had to suffer for 25 years. Mi at least fell asleep because of disease for 17 years, but she missed those 17 years of her son''s life. Sairaorg suffered more than hers and endured the ridicule of other noble devils. When waking up a moment ago, Mi heard that some devils tried to kill Sairaorg a few times but failed because Kalia Bael(Gremory) protected him from the shadow. Thanks, satan. Her sister-inw has a good heart, or Sairaorg wouldn''t live so peacefully. ''My three years old Son had to survive this cruel world just because of a bloodline... I can''t ept this!'' She thought while clutching her branch-like arm. Mi sighed and mumbled, "I need to grow stronger." "You can." A warm touchnded on her head. Huo Yuhao patted Mi''s head gently because their height difference was quite distant. "Devil God..." Mi looked at Huo Yuhao with a hopeful look. "Can you teach me the way?" Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "It would be painful." "I-I can do it..." She firmly responded. "Well, just don''t moan." Huo Yuhao awakened threedies'' martial souls, but they moaned like crazy. It should have been a painful experience, not a pleasant experience. He even questioned this world a few times. Why do all women here seem to be sexually sensitive? It''s not a joking question because Huo Yuhao barely finished the DxD series. "Err, okay..." Mi weirdly reassured him. [Do you want to awaken Mi Bael''s Martial Soul?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao pressed the button. "Ahhhn~!!" A moan left Mi''s mouth. It was weak but definitely a lewd one. "..." Huo Yuhao. "For fuck sake..." Mi fell onto Huo Yuhao''s chest with a blush on her sick face, rubbing her thighs nervously because the pain was too sudden for her to resist such a sensation. It''s painful but more stimting than everything. ''This is bad. Devil God''s scent is...'' She inhaled Huo Yuhao''s scent and breathed heavily. [Mi Bael has awakened "Star Lion Seal." and "Rope." martial souls] [Potential Scan activated automatically] [Name: Mi Bael] [Age: 269 years old] [Potential: SS+] [Rmended Paths: Monster Tamer, Prison Devil Mistress, Heavenly Lion Queen, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] Mi Bael is a beautiful young woman with brown hair and purple eyes. Despite her frail-looking body, she possessed an undying will to fight her current fate and destiny. She possessed something that Venna couldn''t have because of the ve Seal. "Devil God..." Her gentle voice ticked Huo Yuhao''s ears. Something wet is dripping on the floor. It''s sweat, don''t overthink it, you pervert. Huo Yuhao grabbed a nket from his inventory and ced it around Mi''s body. He faked a cough because the sweat made her sleeping robe somewhat see-through. ''This damn title''s rate is lying.'' He thought while looking at the system panel beside him. [Title: Milf Hunter] [Grade: S] [Passive Effect: Every woman considered a "Milf." within 10 kilometers radius is 50% more attracted to you! Hehe, boy~!!] Why is Huo Yuhao displeased with such a powerful title? The answer is simple. This title could potentially attract Yendere Milf within a 10 kilometers radius. ''I have enough Yandere on my side, so having more would be a pain in the ass.'' He thought to himself. Mi felt happy when Huo Yuhao covered her with a nket, realizing her sweat made the sleeping robe see-through. And since she was aa patient just a moment ago, she doesn''t wear anything below the robe. Shame. She blushed hard, realizing how embarrassing it was. "T-Thanks, Devil God," Mi uttered her words with a stutter. Ah, she really wanted to bury her face in a hole. "It''s okay... You''re beautiful, Mi." Huo Yuhaomented while moving his gaze away. Not realizing this could draw the line further than the master and servant rtionship. ''Devil God... No, Mi! An olddy like you doesn''t deserve to be his woman. You also have a son!'' Mi has aplicated thought. ... ... Huo Yuhao exined how Spirit Master cultivates, making Mi shocked for a moment. He told her to absorb the Rune Stone quickly because she would make her debut tonight alongside Sairaorg. Watching a ck ring float around Mi, Huo Yuhao shook his head because her body was too weak to get more than 10.000 years old Spirit Ring. It''s remarkable enough that Mi''s rare devil constitution allowed her to absorb a ck spirit ring into Star Lion Seal. And Spirit Beast with a star attribute is rare in the Douluo Dalu''s Universe. Of course, what surprised Huo Yuhao was her mental strength. Mi''s mental strength is more or less than Spirit Emperor''s. "David, all devil ns should arrive at this meeting, right?" Huo Yuhao nced at the butler, who had been staring mindlessly for an hour. David nodded and replied, "Yes, Dragon God." "All devil ns are invited to this meeting, including the Extra Devil ns." "As for the original satan n''s members, I''m afraid we have none. You killed most of them yesterday." He added with a wry smile. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes because those fools didn''t deserve to be descendants of the original devil kings. They only inherited their ancestor''s arrogance and stupidity. Those fools aren''t the only devil kings'' descendants in this world. Mi and Sairaorg are part of the Asmodeus n. Lucia Halphas is part of the Beelzebub n. Vali Lucifer is part of the Lucifer n. The only missing piece is Leviathan n''s descendant, who should have lived somewhere in this world. Cough! Mi awakened from her meditation and coughed a mouthful of ck blood. She wiped her lips clean and breathed morefortably now, having demonic energy growing tremendously in her body. She noticed a new knowledge about Spirit Skill appeared slowly in her head, which made her confused for a moment. "Regulus Aurum." She whispered silently. A small token appeared above her right palm, expanding into a pentagram pattern. It released violent lightning and the shadow of a lion''s head, burning with a beastly aura. The lion''s head was "grandly." adorned by a majestic golden mane and two piercing red eyes. "What a majestic being." Mi was shocked. "Haa... I''m too weak to summon its whole body." As the only daughter of the Vap n, seeing such a marvelous lion was thrilling for Mi. She wanted to see its whole body but only sighed because she was too weak. Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Mi,e here." "Eat this bean and prepare yourself. The meeting was about to get started." Mi looked at the green bean on Huo Yuhao''s palm and responded, "Yes, Devil God." "As for your son. He''ll awake soon." Huo Yuhao nced at Sairaorg, who pushed his physical limit with pure will and mentality. ... ... Demonic Land. A ce where previous devil kings held their meetings before the Great War, It was "specifically." created to let devil ns settle their problems with a duel to the death. It''s an outdated tradition but effective. And today, this ce would be used by the Blue-Eyed Dragon God to settle his n with the devils. All devil ns'' leaders were required to present, or the Dragon God would visit their homes personally. Kromael Bael arrived with his teleportation magic and saw a long white table with over 72 seats. He frowned because the Extra Devil ns served under the Lucifer n present in this meeting. He looked at the familiar crimson magic circle and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Gremory..." He looked at a crimson-haired man apanied by a beautiful ck-haired woman. The ck-haired woman approached Kromael andmented, "Oh my, what a sight we have here?" Her words are very vicious. "My brother actually bes a cripple? You even used magic tools to rece your leg, haha." Sheughed in amusement. "I smell something burning here." "Oh wait, it''s just your karma." "Shut up, you traitor..." Kromael red at his twin sister. "A tarnished creature like you doesn''t deserve to be called Bael." Kalia smiled and returned, "You''re right." "I''m not Bael anymore." "I''m Gremory." Kalia walked away, leaving Kromael alone. The leader of the Bael n gritted his teeth and walked to his seat, waiting for the Blue-Eyed Damned Dragon God to appear. Kromael looked at Venna, who approached Diehauser Belial and even fell into his embrace. He smirked because Venna''smon blood as a subus has an advantage against a man. After all, she could increase the chance of her pregnancy. The subus''s children grew at an abnormal rate with the price of sacrificing the mother''s lifespan and demonic power. Kromael could have another pawn used to pay for his humiliation in a month or maybe a week. ''I only need to force Venna to feed her life force to the utmost limit. Her child will be a monster with the Power of Destruction and Worthless from the Belial n! Kuhahaha!'' He grinned inside. Every devil n''s leader arrived before the meeting began and sat on their seats, including the Grayfia Lucifuge. They waited for Huo Yuhao and saw a massive white magic circle in the sky. A massive Demonic Power''s pressure made some spew a mouthful of blood. They couldn''t believe their eyes because a being higher than the original lucifer stepped out of the magic circle. He''s wearing a ck tuxedo and ck-framed sses and appears to be an 18 years old young man. Twelve devil wings with gold and crimson glitters greeted them with a sheer presence alone. Huo Yuhao stared at them indifferently and said, "Let''s start the meeting." "I only have one question for all of you..." "Surrender." "Or Die..." Chapter 123: Your Majesty, Ars Goetia Chapter 123: Your Majesty, Ars Goetia --- Chapter 123 --- Death. Yes, Death. That''s what everyone honestly felt right now when facing Huo Yuhao before them. A pressure that makes their bones and hearts shiver like no tomorrow. This person is no dragon. He''s a devil god. ''How is this even possible?'' Ajuka Beelzebub thought to himself. He has been running down research based on Huo Yuhao''s history because he was a well-known name for almost one thousand years. Not even once people in the past mention Huo Yuhao possessed the ability to be a devil god. However, no matter how absurd it was, the person before them was genuine. They could feel their devil''s blood and demonic power boiling profusely. "Why so quiet?" The devil god whispered to them. "Where is my answer, surrender or die?" "The House of Lucifuge decided to surrender!" Grayfia immediately uttered her thoughts, leaving everyone speechless. Despite not wearing her trademark maid outfit because this meeting required Grayfia to be the Leader of the Lucifuge n. And Grayfia decided to wear a formal white dress with a blue flower on her left bosom. She dislikes it because the dress makes her somewhat lost. At least the blue flower makes it bearable to wear. ''Ah, I want to wear my maid outfit again...'' Grayfia thought while having a solemn expression. The other devil thinks Grayfia pondered about the survival of the devil''smunity, but she doesn''t care about that. "We surrender to the Devil God." The Extra Devil Families'' representatives, like Lucifuge n, announced firmly. Grayfia warned them about this matter, so they could make the right decision without looking like a fool. The head of the Belphegor n, Roygun Belphegor, licked her lips hungrily because the rumored Dragon God or maybe she should call him Devil God now is more attractive than she thought. ''Bearing his child would be an honor. I understood why the Captain decided to pass her guardian position to me now.'' Roygun thought to herself. Roygun is a beautiful young woman in her twenties with long yet wavy cherry blossom hair and two horns protruding from her head. She wears a high-cut formal dress with high slits and has a well-endowed bust and slim waist. Well, they don''t have another choice in the first ce. Who would be stupid enough to choose to die in the legendary Dragon God''s hands? "I won''t surrender!" "Even if my life is at stake, I''ll never let the devil race fall into your hand!" A young-looking man stood up from his seat. He was from the house of Paimon and had somewhat feminine features with short white hair. Yet, the only thing noticeable about him is his foolish bravery. Even though he looks young, his age is simr to Mi''s. Huo Yuhao stared at himzily and returned, "I see... Do you want to bring your whole family into this or yourself?" The current lord of Paimon was confused. He doesn''t understand what Huo Yuhao means for a second, ring his demonic energy to resist Huo Yuhao''s True Daemon''s Aura. "M-Myself!" He proudly said. BOOM! "AAH-!" Everyone watched lord Paimon explode into a blood mist, sttering the white table in red. It was such a cold scene because they could hear thest shriek before he died. Huo Yuhao moved his gaze back uninterestedly and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to die?" They couldn''t say anything. "I surrender..." The lord of the Phenex n said. Over 32 ns followed shortly after, shivering from the inside because they didn''t want to experience the same thing as Lord Paimon. Yes, this is what Huo Yuhao wanted from the beginning. An example ruled by instant fear. It''s cruel, but Huo Yuhao doesn''t need a subordinate with foolish bravery. Not in a million years, Huo Yuhao would let his subordinate charge proudly and blindly to the battlefield, only to get one shot by the enemy. "There are 40 more, so what''s your answer?" Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and watched Venna standing behind Kromael Bael. Even though Lord Bael had a calm expression, he could feel the half-assed scheme behind that face. As for Venna, she hasn''t shown a sign of awakening. ''This is troublesome...'' Huo Yuhao thought while telling Kuroka through telepathy to appear. Kuroka jumped from Grayfia''sp and turned into her human form, shocking everyone on the spot as they recognized her. The infamous reincarnated devil killed her peerage master and became an SS-rank criminal. "Hello, there~!" She greeted them casually. "You might think it''s a wild ck cat, but it''s actually me!!" "Kono Kuroka da~!!" Huo Yuhao pushed Kuroka away and said, "Naberius n, let''s hear your exnation. Since your n is the one who started to ster criminal titles on my adorable pet, what''s her crime?" "Mou~!" Kuroka pouted because she wanted to relieve the mood slightly. Naberius n''s Head released cold sweat and sensed everyone''s gazes on him. He nervously sighed and said, "S-She killed her master, our second heir." "And?" Huo Yuhao smiled in amusement. "She also learned the forbidden technique Senjutsu that makes her go mad and kill everything before her eyes." The Naberius''s Head answered immediately. "I-It''s dangerous and could cause chaos in the Underworld." "AND?" Huo Yuhao used Ruler Authority and dragged the man from Naberius n to the floor. "There is more, right?" "Let me help you with that." Huo Yuhao grabbed the Naberius n''s Lord by his head and lifted him, letting demonic power invalidate the man''s mind. He used magic to check everything inside and smirked because something was interesting here. "Chaos God yer Magic: Mind Projection." Since imagination and demonic power are all needed to cast magic in this world, Huo Yuhao could easily do something like this. Such a lousy magic system it is. Huo Yuhao nced at the sky and saw arge screen covering it. A picture started to y even with audio, letting everyone know what happened years ago in the Naberius n. "What should we do now?" "Theboratory exploded before the product even finished..." "We have been trying to create artificial Super Devils. And with the backing of the Great King Faction, we should be able to create one now." "Tch, if only that human researcher is a bit faster." "Now he died with his pathetic pussy wife." "What about their children? They have two daughters, right?" "The older one, what was her name again? Kuroka could endure the modification because we had her younger sister on our hands." "Hehehe, what a stupid cat. Kuroka''s mother and father died in theboratory while she was waiting for her demise." "As long as she showed a favorable result, we could copy the method and spread it among the other nobles... Imagine an army of Super Devils." "We aren''t talking about the Underworld anymore. Even the whole world will be ours." Silence. Aplete silence ensued in the demond. No one could utter a word because the scene before them was too shocking. Some devils knew about this already, but they didn''t even bat an eye and mixed well with others. "Kuroka,e here." Huo Yuhao called over the Nekoshou. Kuroka knew what Huo Yuhao was about to do when witnessing his magic and breathed out to calm herself. It''s been years, and she has be stronger than before. She had to let the trauma away. "I''m ready, nyaa~!" She hugged Huo Yuhao, which caused Grayfia and the other women in the vicinity to frown. Huo Yuhao patted Kuroka''s head and showed everyone a distant memory of her when the Naberius n decided to use her Nekoshou bloodline in the experiment. "AAAARRGGHH!" Everyone saw a young Kuroka bound into a wall with several chains firmly locked on her limbs. She was "horribly." fed with unknown potions and substances to increase her metabolism and demonic power, causing an eruption of energy. "Please, don''t do this to my sister." "I''ll endure it!" "I''ll do everything!!" Kuroka''s desperate voice echoed in the field. Blerg! Ady from the house of Dantalion pukes on the spot. She covered her mouth in dread because the scene was too cruel for this age of the devil race. In the past, something like this wouldn''t be a problem, but in this peaceful era, something evil actually happened. It''s not just her. Everyone felt ufortable watching this video. However, the scene continued without giving them a chance to calm themselves down. Kuroka was experimented on for years and reached the level where one would be insane mentally and physically, but she persisted for her sister. And the Naberius n will watch and heal her for a new experiment. Until that day, Kuroka reached a power beyondmon sense and killed her peerage master. She got med for being a mad killer, which Naberius n covered to bury their immoral action. "Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao asked Kuroka calmly. "Yes." Kuroka nodded with a smile on her face. She was relieved because everyone knew the truth now. Huo Yuhao looked down at the Naberius n''s head and indifferentlymented, "What should we do with this trash, everyone?" "I think executing him will be too soft of a punishment, no?" "That''s why I''ll grant him a special thing... Endless Suffering." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and a massive holy sword appeared in the sky, releasing a bright golden light. He casually dropped his finger and watched the Naberius n''s head getting stabbed in the chest. "ARGH!" "HOT!!" "HOT-! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!" Holy element is the bane of the devil. However, Huo Yuhao''s holy element is much more than that. It''s the element of genesis, representing the beginning. "That sword will burn you for eternity. And this chain will drag you to the prison I created personally." Huo Yuhao''s eyes glowed with crimson light. "Rot in there..." BOOM! Arge chain stabbed the Naberius n''s head in the stomach and dragged him into Huo Yuhao''s Sub-Dimensional Space. A prison he used to store Ocean Spirit Beast in the past. "No!" "NO!" "PLEASE!" "THIS IS MY FAULT!" "PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!" "ARRGGHH-!" BOOM! Naberius n''s Head was gradually dragged into space and disappeared from the face of demond. "Who''s next?" Huo Yuhao smiled at them. ''This guy is a Devil God...'' Everyone thought at the same time. Huo Yuhao ignored the terrified gazes and told Kuroka to stay on his side because the next target would be a little dramatic. He cracked his knuckle and looked at Lord Bael. "Lord Bael, do you have something to say?" He asked Kromael, making everyone change their attention to the current head of the Bael n. Kromael maintained a calm face and responded, "Pardon?" "I''m innocent, Dragon God." "Eh, I don''t even ask about your crime, though?" Huo Yuhao returned with a grin. "Innocent, your ass, that''s it." Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to Venna and observed her t mask-like expression. He could feel the chaotic spiritual energy in her mind and sighed inside because it wasn''t toote. To put it shortly, Venna currently has an imbnced connection between her spiritual energy and physical form. One wrong move and she would fall into a sleeping disease like Mi. "Venna Bael, can youe here?" Huo Yuhao stretched his hand to her. Their distance isn''t far, but it feels like an endless field for Venna. ''Stay in your position and guard me against that lunatic!'' Kromael ordered Venna through mental connection. Huo Yuhao noticed and questioned, "You don''t want to? Do you hate me that much, Venna?" "I''m sorry, Lord Yuhao. I can''t leave my brother..." Venna answered naturally. "His safety is my priority." "Why are you crying then?" Huo Yuhao suddenlymented. "Crying..." Everyone watched tears running from Venna''s beautiful eyes. It''s weird because she kept maintaining a smile like it was an "innate." program. "Why... Why am I crying?" Venna wiped her eyes. "It doesn''t stop." "Eh?" "Why..." "Am..." ''Stop CRYING!'' Kromael ordered, but it wasn''t working. Venna gradually lifted her head and saw Huo Yuhao waiting for her. A source of light and hope she had been waiting for, but she was afraid to take a step. ''Hurry up...'' An unknown voice whispered into her ears. ''My son is waiting for you. Grab his hand.'' Venna crawled on the floor and groaned because the ve seal prevented her from getting away from Kromael. She kneeled and gradually stood up, exposing her Power of Destruction to the whole world. BOOM! Venna''s dress got destroyed, and only some remaining pieces covered her body. Except for one spot, her back. Gasp!! Everyone was shocked because a wicked pattern banned for hundreds of years was "faintly." stered on Venna''s back. A magic technique binds one''s freedom like a leash, which had disappeared after the civil war. "S-ve Seal..." "How did the Ruin Mistress get a ve Seal on her body??" "This is." "BAEL CLAN, YOU BASTARD!" "That''s why..." Diehauser Beliel''s eyes widened because no wonder the infamous Venna Bael had been acting weird in thest few hours. They barely knew each other for a century, but she suddenly tried to make an advance on him today. Even though Venna tried to be intimate with him, Diehauser Belial rejected her because he always had an issue with the Bael n. That''s why he was suspicious of everyone rted to this n. After all, his cousin''s death was rted to Zekram Bael. k! Venna''s high heels made contact with the floor. One step at a time. She walked to Huo Yuhao slowly, but the ve Seal on her back burned like hell. She endured a lot of pain and forcibly functioned physically with sheer will alone. Crack! The ve Seal cracked because of Venna''s Demonic Power. Left with no choice, Kromael Bael prepared a teleportation magic and shouted, "VENELANA, IGNITE YOUR POWER OF DESTRUCTION AND KILL HUO YUHAO FOR ME!" "Yes-! NO-! Yes, broThEr." Venna lunged forward and hugged Huo Yuhao, crying blood because she didn''t want to do this. She doesn''t want to hurt Huo Yuhao. Venna only met Huo Yuhao yesterday, but he was the only one whoforted her and gave her an unknown warmth of affection. Something she was longing for since arriving in this world. "I don''t want to..." Venna mumbled while having blood running down her cheeks. "YUHAO-SAMA!" Grayfia panicked because Venna''s demonic power could injure even the God of Death. Full ignition would destroy the whole Demonic Land into chaos. "EVERYONE, COVER YOURSELF!" Sirzechs shouted while creating a barrier. The other devil kings followed after him and created a barrier to protect everyone in the area. "HAHAHA, DIE!!" Kromael frantically shouted while disappearing with teleportation magic. BOOOOM! ... ... Quiet. Very quiet. [You have upgraded "Worthless." into the "Concept of Nullification." skill] [You have nullified Venna Bael''s Power of Destruction] "AAAH!" Venna''s ve Seal crumbled from her back, leaving a bloody scar. She hugged Huo Yuhao and cried to all her content because she was finally free. Huo Yuhao hugged Venna back and caressed her slightly burnt brown hair. "Everything will be fine now. Good job for fighting back, Venna." "Go sleep. I''ll deal with the rest for you." He lightly kissed Venna''s forehead. CRACK! A wide crack suddenly appeared in the space, which allowed everyone to see a dimensional gap. The dark red color made several shivers in the spot. "This ability..." Roygun Belphegor was speechless. Isn''t this her n''s ability to make a crack on anything? "W-What''s this!" Kromael''s voice appeared from the crack. Huo Yuhao handed Venna to Kuroka and grabbed the crack with his bare hand, dragging Kromael back to the demond. Huo Yuhao''s face is unbearably cold, and even his contracted souls had never seen this side of him. "Chaos God yer Magic: Immortal Phoenix Regeneration." "W-Wait!" Kromael was shocked. "I can exin-!" "PUH!" Kromael''s face was smashed by Huo Yuhao''s hand, BAM! BAM! BAM! Huo Yuhao smashed his face continuously and watched the Chaos God yer Magic healing the devi. He didn''t let Kromael healpletely and beat him to death. "ARGH!" BAM! "ME-!" BAM! "PL-!" BAM! "PLE-!" BAM! "ASE-!!!" BAM! "PLEASE-!" BAAM! "HAVE-!" BOOM! Huo Yuhao concentrated Power of Destruction in his fist and punched Kromael''s face, causing a small explosion that erased half of Lord Bael''s head. "M-Mercy..." BOOM! Huo Yuhao emotionlessly pulverized Kromael''s body into dust, but the magic cast beforehand will gradually heal the devil. Kromael should have thanked Huo Yuhao because he healed his leg and hand. What a kind man Huo Yuhao is. "Stop this!" A loud shout appeared out of nowhere. It was a middle-aged man with ck hair and violet eyes who wore noble attire. He has an aura of firm dignity that exudes from him. "Stop this, Dragon God." "Kill my son... Stop torturing him like this." Yes, this middle-aged man is Zekram Bael. He awakened from his sleep because of the True Daemon''s Aura. "What if I don''t want to?" Huo Yuhao answered while punching Kromael. "Are you saying that your son deserved death?" "No, No... Not in my dictionary." "Who do you think you were?" He continued, which left Zekram quiet for a moment. Zekram looked at the sky and said, "Looks like I don''t have a choice either here." "I always thought this time woulde eventually." "That''s why I searched for something. Something to fight you, Dragon God." "Face my strongest weapon, Ingvild." "She''s the one who rules over the dragon race." "Bnce Breaker: Nereid Kyrie''s Hymn of Endless Green Sea." A feminine voice reverberated in the area. Serafall Leviathan trembled because this feeling in her guts was no mistake. She saw a beautiful foreign girl who appeared to be in herte teens with a "whimsical aura." She has long purple hair and orange eyes. However, she wore nothing but rag-like clothes for some reason. "Another ve Seal..." She frowned when seeing a faint magic mark on Ingvlid''s forehead. A loud and cold song invaded everyone''s ears, pressuring them. People who had a rtion to the Dragon Race feel even weaker because this ability weakens them to a powerless state. [You have resisted "Perish Song of Ingvild Leviathan." entirely] Evo notified Huo Yuhao. [True Lord of Dragons(Passive) resisted the Dragon Conqueror''s Charm] [Ding! You have triggered a Quest] [Name: Save thest descendant of the Leviathan] [Objective: Save Ingvild Leviathan(0/1)] [Reward: 10 Silver Upgrading Tickets and World Travelling Ticket''s Piece(1/4)] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao stood up and kicked Kromael''s body to the sky, giving it to Zekram Bael. He created a portal and mmed his hand on Ingvlid''s forehead, using the Concept of Nullification on the ve Seal. "Y-YOU!" Zekram felt the connection between him and Ingvlid was "suddenly." broken by an external force. His Power of Destruction erupted and rushed into the air, flying toward Huo Yuhao at an rming pace. Huo Yuhao nullified this ability and said, "Like father, Like Son." "Both of you are trash, huh?" Zekram Bael frowned and tried to run away, but Huo Yuhao had already nullified all kinds of magic rted to space maniption within 100 kilometers. He pointed his finger at Zekram and added, "This will teach you a lesson..." "It wouldn''t kill you two, but it should be enough to show the difference between us." "Don''t mess around with me." Huo Yuhao clenched his hand to flow his demonic power into Chaos God yer Magic. He breathed in and indifferently chanted, "The Time of Birth Hath Comes." "I Am the Remedy of Eternity." "Now, burn like the garbage you are..." "Ars Almadel Salomonis." A massive energy column akin to a star appeared above the demond and spread over 100 kilometers. It flowed out of the space and poured over the area like a wave of destruction. A powerful beam of light followed after, chasing over Zekram and Kromael. "N-No... What''s this." "This isn''t the power of this world." BOOOOM! All things before Huo Yuhao got erased from existence. A young man floated in the sky alone with a fainted purple-haired girl in his embrace. Huo Yuhao nullified the attack before it became too chaotic and looked down at the meeting table. They are staring at him with fear. The devil kings kneeled on the ground and shouted, "WE SURRENDER TO THE DEVIL GOD." "ARS GOETIA!" The 72 pirs. Well, 69 pirs n heads stared at each other and kneeled simultaneously. The Extra Devil/Demon ns governed by Grayfia also kneeled on the ground. "WE SURRENDER TO THE DEVIL GOD." "YOUR MAJESTY." "ARS GOETIA!!" Chapter 124: New Devil Community and Youkai Faction? Chapter 124: New Devil Community and Youkai Faction? --- Chapter 124 --- Two days passed quickly after the second meeting. Many things changed in the devilmunity as they now have a supreme leader, even higher than the four devil kings. The Devil God, Ars Goetia. They could have used Huo Yuhao, but Serafall and other woman lord within the new council somewhat like Ars Goetia more because it sounds more intimidating. Well, something like that. Another topic would be ns that had too many corruption and evil deeds in the past 500 hundred years. The wed flowers and roots were wiped out by Huo Yuhao, leaving new seeds that he assigned to rule over those ns. For example, Bael, Naberius, and Paimon ns were "instantly." reformed under Huo Yuhao''s order. He told Grayfia to clean everything dirty inside out without leaving any witnesses, but everyone knew this was his doing. The new Lord Bael is Magdaran Bael, the son of Kromael Bael. Despite the influence of Kromael and Zekram, Magdaran is theplete opposite of them. He''s a dedicated botanist having a deep fondness for nts and flowers, particrly the purple flowers that bloomed throughout the Bael city. He doesn''t even want the Lord''s position. However, no one else wants to upy it because Sairaorg is busy with his way to be immortal like those cultivators in the eastern fantasy novel. Kalia Bael is now part of the Gremory n. Venna Bael had fallen into deep recovery because she forcibly broke the ve Seal''s contracts with her will. And it''s not like Venna will ept a position that makes her suffer for almost her entire life. As for the Naberius and Paimon n, Huo Yuhao left them to Grayfia as he believed in her management skill. That matter aside, Huo Yuhao now watched Sairaorg meditating on the training ground and ate french fries made by Grayfia. He has been waiting for Venna to open her eyes and help Sairaorg to be more familiar with Spirit Energy. "Enlightenment..." Sairoarg mumbled solemnly. "The ultimate Dao, I shall attain it." Huo Yuhao chewed his fries andmented, "What is this fool bbering about there? I told him to sense Spirit Energy, not be immortal." "Um... Can I sit here?" A sweet voice filled up Huo Yuhao''s ears. It almost sounds like a fairy song or a type of ASMR voice. Huo Yuhao changed his focus to the voice and saw a purple-haired girl in a white dress. This girl is Ingvild Leviathan, who just made her recovery, mostly rted to her mental health. Ingvild Leviathan is the original descendent of the Leviathan born in the human world. She''s half human and half devil, allowing her to obtain Sacred Gear. Her Sacred Gear: Nereid Kyrie is rare because she can enve Dragon-type creatures and races while also controlling the Sea. Simply put, the Sacred Gears evolved with her Levithan''s Lineage. And it''s still progressing till this moment. Zekram Bael said she was the one who rules over the Dragon Race, which is somewhat true to a certain extent. No way in hell Ingvild could control Ophis and Great Red. She only has the potential to do it. Noticing her hopeful expression, Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Sure." "How is your recovery?" "Must be hard to be awakened by someone and told to fight shortly after." "Well, yes." Ingvild giggled wryly. "A lot of things changed when I got awakened from my sleep. Mostly dark as far as I remembered." "Even then, thank you for saving me." She sat beside Huo Yuhao with a slight blush and continued, "The Heart-Calming Candies also helped me a lot in the past two days, hehe." Ingvild looked around for a moment and leaned more to Huo Yuhao''s side. She sighed because of a relieving scent, and presence became closer to her again. Maybe because Huo Uuhao saved her? Ingvild doesn''t know the feeling in her heart. Ingvild hummed and filled the training ground with her tone, calming even the small animals like squirrels and birds within one hundred meters. Her ability is so powerful with proper training. "Y-Yuhao." She called out his name. Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement and returned, "Hmm, Yes? You finally called my name, Ingvild." "I thought you detested me?" Ingvild panicked and hurriedly said, "M-Me detested you? That''s too pretentious for a timid girl like me! I-I''m just nervous because my mother said the man who hugged me most likely will be my husband in the future." [Ingvild Leviathan''s Loyalty has increased] "W-We even had skinship before..." "..." Huo Yuhao. "I''m just checking your forehead yesterday to check if Zekram left his spiritual imprint on you." [Ingvild Leviathan''s Loyalty has increased] "B-But you also kissed me." Ingvild covered her ripe tomato-like face. "It''s indirect..." Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat. A day ago, when healing Ingvild''s mind from ve Seal''s influence, she indirectly drinks apple juice from his cup. [Ingvild Leviathan''s Loyalty has increased] Ingvild pouted and mumbled, "It still counts..." [Ingvild Leviathan''s Loyalty has increased] [You now could awaken Ingvild Leviathan''s Martial Soul] ''Girl. You''re delusional as fuck!'' Tian Mengmented on Huo Yuhao''s spiritual world. Even though Ingvild couldn''t hear it, Huo Yuhao brushed off the worm''sments. "How Adorable." Huo Yuhao finished his fries and stretched his body a little. He checked over the new skills he upgraded and developed in thest three days. [New Trait''s Section into Status] Evo notified him. [Concepts: Destruction(10), Nullification(4), Tear(11), Stars(7), Dark Light(2)] The Concept of Tear evolved from Belphegor n''s ability, Crack. It allowed Huo Yuhao to create a crack/hole in anything he wanted, except something higher than himself. It''s a neat ability because Huo Yuhao could ignore one''s defense and armor with this, allowing him tounch an attack at maximum damage. As for the Concept of Stars, it''s from Asmodeus n''s Ability. Sadly, this n never explores its full potential, but well understandable because Asmodeus n''s members are either sick or too prideful. And thest concept Huo Yuhao developed is Dark Light. Yes, it''s the original Lucifer''s well-known Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light, which could fight even the Divine Energy of a God. The concept is simple. Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light is Darkness that swallows the pure light of the world, harnessing the power to oppose natural order. Lucifer used his ability once to resist Huo Yuhao''s Saber and negated the damage by a lot despite still getting injured. In theory, the Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light could swallow everything because it has the same property as Dark Hole. "Yuhao, I''m hungry..." Ophis suddenly jumped out of nowhere andnded on Huo Yuhao''sp. She hugged him and also patted her stomach to emphasize her world-level dilemma. "This is the apocalypse." "Where did you learn that word?" Huo Yuhao pulled Ophis''s cheek, making the ouroboros dragon like a chubby glutton girl. "Oh well, it''s lunchtime." At a small garden, Huo Yuhao sat around a table and waited for Grayfia toe because she had been quite busy recently. She has to deal with the filths within the new devilmunity. "Where is Kuroka?" Ophis searched for the ck cat''s presence. After the second meeting, Kuroka went to the Gremory n and visited her younger sister. Ophis, who only watched and didn''t involve herself with others, doesn''t know about this. Huo Yuhao stuffed Ophis''s mouth with cheesecake and said, "She will be here soon. I can feel it." "Eat this in the meantime." "Is that so?" Ophis bit into the cake. Her eyes brightened because this was better than she expected. How could a block of mixed flour and cheese be this good? Ingvild looked at the scenery and felt slightly jealous because she also wanted Huo Yuhao to feed her. She bet the taste of that cheesecake would be one thousand times better. "Do you want some?" Ophis cut the cake and ced it on the te for Ingvild. Cakes are to be shared, but candy is not. Ingvild was dumbfounded and returned, "Eh, Are you sure?" Ophis nodded and pushed the te away, enjoying her pieces while staring at the sky. She seemed to be in a trance because of the new desert. "I''m back, Nyaa~!" Kuroka returned a few minutester and even brought Koneko with her. Huo Yuhao smiled and observed Koneko, noticing nature''s energy had started to increase in her body. Compared to weeks ago, Koneko could fight a stronger opponent now without getting burdened by her Senjutsu Mastery. After all, Kuroka''s name was "finally." cleaned from her Criminal Record two days ago. What a happy ending for both sisters, as Naberius n alsopensated for their misdeed, giving Kuroka vast territory in the west. With her current situation and wealth, Kuroka could be a noble like the other 72-pir devil ns. Reviving Nekoshou n will be easier with Huo Yuhao on her side, but she said it would be too much of a hassle. Not to mention Kuroka''s mother has a connection with the Youkai Faction, which both Kuroka and Koneko have never visited. Koneko is also against bing noble, so they decided to turn thend into a vacation ce for people in the future. It''s a decently sizednd of over 69 kilometers square with a spacious mountain range and twinkes. Thekes are somewhat fitting for Kuroka and Koneko. Cough! Someone faked a cough while making her entrance. "Wee back, Fia." Huo Yuhao smiled at his maid. Grayfia smiled back at him and replied, "Mm, I''m back, Yuhao-sama." ... ... Oh yeah, Huo Yuhao and others are currently on a floating ind on the edge of the Underworld. Since he doesn''t want to stay in a crowded ce like the capital city where Bael n belongs, he decides to apply floating magic on a random ind. He also reinforced the ind with Primordial Runes in case some idiots try to barge in. And with Wood Maniption supported by Water and Earth Maniption, he could create a firm castlefortable enough to stay in for a few weeks. Inside one of the bedrooms, Huo Yuhao sat on the chair and watched over Venna on the bed. "Her condition isn''t that bad, Devil God. She will be fine soon." Mimented while handing a hot tea to him. "Thanks." Huo Yuhao grabbed the cup. "Yeah, Venna is currently adjusting herself." "The ve Seal suppressed her freedom and demonic power to a certain degree. It seems that Kromael and Zekram want to limit her growth so that she doesn''t grow too much for them to handle." "Smart and Stupid move for them, to be honest." Mi giggled and replied, "I have to agree with that." "Still, what are you going to do now? As far I know, you already have Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels on your side." Huo Yuhao sipped the tea and responded, "About that?" "Hmm, I kind of want to attack Hades." "The God of Death..." Mi was speechless inside. However, realizing she was serving Devil God makes her realize his desire to conquer is no joking matter. Even though she didn''t attend thest meeting, Mi debuted to the public as a benevolent devildy who got exiled by her husband. She returned to the Vap House and took over the business, helping Huo Yuhao to gather everyone''s good opinions about him. However, to attack the Realm of the Deaths. They needed a lot of resources. Not saying the new council isn''t stable, but they haven''t prepared for the sh. "Yuhao, is that you?" Venna opened her eyes slowly. Huo Yuhao grabbed Venna''s hand and replied, "Yeah, I''m here." Venna smiled weakly and asked, "Am I a good woman?" "Yes, you are." He returned gently, making the smile on Venna''s face bloom even more, [You have epted Venna Bael as your subordinate] [Venna Bael''s loyalty has increased tremendously] [You now could awake Venna Bael''s Martial Soul] "Y-Yuhao, Do you think..." Venna''s whisper sounded small. Huo Yuhao gently caressed Venna''s hair away from her pale face and said, "Have a good rest first. Let''s talk about that matterter." "O-Okay..." Venna felt relieved because Huo Yuhao didn''t push her like before. She cried in happiness inside. Mi sighed when seeing this. They are lucky Huo Yuhao appeared at the right time and saved both of them from the Bael n. If not, she wouldn''t be awake from the sleeping disease, and Venna will suffer more than this. ''Devil Lord is such a blessing, fufu~!'' Mi thought while covering her mouth with a fan. ... ... On the other side of the world, Youkai Faction. A beautifuldy with pale blonde hair and some pinkish shade sat on the leader''s chair. She possessed an extreme charm beyond this and a body that could make one droll. Nine fluffy tails swayed around her, indicating her position in the room. "Hao''er is doing a good job there." The woman whispered in amusement. "He caught quite a decent amount ofdies'' hearts." "You seem to be in a good mood, Goddess Huo." A woman with the same amount of fox tail. She''s the leader of the West Youkai Faction, Yasaka. Yasaka is a young woman with a voluptuous figure, long blonde hair, and matching eyes. She is a woman with delicate facial features, and her hair is usually tied in a loose ponytail, reaching down to her legs that end in a spiral, with bandages to keep it in ce. She usually wears a traditional Shrine Maiden attire with a white coat(Haori) over that, held closed by a red ribbon and a golden crown. "Well, my son is handsome. Why wouldn''t I be happy?" Huo Yun''er returned casually. "Anyway, how is your study? You read everything, right?" Yasaka blushed because she was required to read so many erotic novels by the author named EAY. It''s teaching her how to behave as a noblewoman in public and the bedroom. "Mommy~!" A small child with a resemnce to Yasaka appeared in the room. Her name is Kunou, Yasaka''s daughter. Kunou hugged Yasaka and said, "Mommy, Mistress. Lady Amaterasu has arrived at the shrine." "Should I invite her in?" Huo Yun''er rested her head on the chair and said, "Tell her to crawl here..." "This is time for a lesson. My little goddess disciple needs to learn a lot." "Don''t you think so, Yasaka?" Her voice is sweet and alluring, even for a woman like Yasaka. Yasaka reddened slightly and whimpered, "Y-Yes, Goddess Huo." "Tell the little girl toe here quickly." Huo Yun''er smirked faintly. "My son needs the best service in this world." Chapter 125: Succubus and Rizevims Location Chapter 125: Subus and Rizevim''s Location --- Chapter 125 --- "Good, you''re doing well." "Keep walking like that, slowly and steadily." "Kyaa~!" Venna tripped on the garden and was about to fall, but Huo Yuhao immediately caught her. She was currently rehabilitating her devil blood and overall physical prowess. Venna could do this by consuming healing items such as Phoenix''s Tear from Phenex n or Senzu Bean. However, she decided to do it more naturally with Huo Yuhao''s help, which made Huo Yuhao spend more time together with her. It''s a petty move from Venna because almost everydy on the floating ind bes jealous of her privilege. Even Huo Yuhao could casually create Phoenix''s Tears and heal her instantly. But why would Venna do that when she could deepen her rtionship with him? Pain is nothing. Love is eternal. And Love is war. Nothing is fair,dies! After getting freed by Bael''s shackle, Venna''s feelings for Huo Yuhao exploded through the roof and even reached the nine gxies. She wanted to know more about him. His favorite foods, hobbies, birthday, most liked lovemaking position-! ''This feeling is still growing...'' Venna felt strong arms enveloping her body. They are warm like the morning sun and gentle enough to make her excited by imagining things. "Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao''s voice was like a song in her ears. "It''s been a day. You could have just slept on the bed, you know?" Venna pouted and answered, "No." "I''ve had enough rest, and today is perfect for my rehabilitation. Just feel the atmosphere and look at this blue sky." Huo Yuhao was "honestly." amused by her response because the blue sky in the Underworld is artificial through magic. After all, they are under the world. Putting the pun aside, Venna is doing great with her recovery. Venna should be able to function healthily in one or two more sessions because his wood and dark element''s presence helped her quicken the devil''s regenerative ability. Maybe he should create another breathing technique for Devil Race? Universal Breathing Technique would definitely work coupled with Spirit Circuits Huo Yuhao has nned for this world. And physically, the devil is no different than a human, with some exceptions like a horn or longer ears. Of course, there would be unwanted effects and results without proper research. Not to mention none of the people who got their Martial Soul awakened by him activated their Spirit Circuits yet. It would trigger explosive growth that they might not be able to handle. Huo Yuhao told Venna to rest on the stone bench and told her about the Martial Soul, making the devil surprised for a moment. Even after hearing the price for awakening such a power, Venna casually nodded and allowed Huo Yuhao to do it. ''Pain is nothing!'' Venna thought to herself. [Do you want to awaken Venna Bael''s Martial Soul?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao hoped Venna wouldn''t moan like others. He sincerely hoped so. "Loosen your muscles and mind." Hemented beforehand, pressing the Yes button slowly. "Ahn~!!" Venna closed her mouth instinctively and rolled her eyes in pleasure. Her entire body shook violently, especially those wide hips. Something was dripping between Venna''s legs, and her face immediately turned into a blissful expression, which left Huo Yuhao speechless. Even Huo Yuhao''s contracted soul is speechless because Venna is much more sensitive than others. They don''t consider Venna''s Subus lineage because pain like this is sometimes the same as instant orgasm for this race. And remember, Venna is still a virgin. It might be an addiction for her. "L-Lord Yuhao~!" Venna''s breathing became huskier, alluring with more sex appeal as her purple eyes gained a love-like pupil. [Venna Bael has awakened "Charming Demoness Mask." and "Silver Needles." Martial Souls] [In addition, Venna Bael has awakened The Subus Queen''s Blood] [Potential Scan activated] [Name: Venna Gremory] [Age: 276 years old] [Potential: SS+] [Rmended Path: True Subus Queen, Demonic Mistress of Destruction, Heavenly Seductress, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] "Lord Yuhao~!!" Venna jumped into Huo Yuhao''s body and hugged him tightly, pressing her lips against his lips. Huo Yuhao could only smile in defeat because he didn''t dislike this situation at all. ''You pervert motherfucker!'' The three spirit souls yelled from the Spiritual Sea. ''Yes. Yes, I am.'' Huo Yuhao shamelessly responded. "..." Tian Meng. "..." Bing Di. "..." Eluxia. This boy had been dodging this for a few months, but now he showed his true nature. ''At least deny it, I-Idiot!'' Tian Meng roared like a dragon. Huo Yuhao pushed Venna to the ground and dominated her mouth, twirling the Subus''s tongue yfully. She arched her back because she would never expect Huo Yuhao to be this good. Unlike Venna, Huo Yuhao has plenty of experience in this life or previous ones. "Haa..." Venna gasped for air. Her body is aching for something. Huo Yuhao released Venna and asked, "Was that your first kiss?" Venna bashfully looked away before nodding her head a little. She was embarrassed by her actions. "L-Lord, you should take responsibility." She covered her mouth adorably. "I will." Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement. "But let''s keep it for another day." "Some people are watching us from afar." "Eh?" Venna felt like cold water pouring into her head. She looked around and saw a suspicious bush with two pairs of cat ears, ck and white. Their cat tails are also swaying left and right visibly. Not far away from the bush. Grayfia, Mi, Ingvild, and Serafall watched them with darkened expressions. There is also Ophis, who stood 5 meters from them, licking her Lollipop with a t expression. "Um..." Venna was speechless. No wonder the mansion was so quiet. Thesedies have been watching her and Huo Yuhao for a while. Huo Yuhao pulled Venna from the ground and brushed the dust off her face. After checking her condition for thest time, he discovered Venna''s spirit energy was circting faster than people in the Douluo Dalu''s Universe. Her body is also releasing this sweet pheromone. If Huo Yuhao doesn''t possess high resistance to poison and Sky Poison Pearl, even he could be agitated by it. Huo Yuhao''s mind might be clear, but his body isn''t. Cough! He faked a cough and awakened everyone from their trances. "I heard there is a ce called Familiar Forest. Where is that ce?" He suddenly asked, which made Grayfia instinctively move to his side. Grayfia used her time maniption to elerate herself and said, "I''ll escort you there, Yuhao-sama." "Teleportation Magic would be the most reasonable, but flying there is much faster." Serafall clicked her tongue because the silver-haired maid was fast when taking her chance. She wanted to be closer to Huo Yuhao as their previous meeting was quite awkward, but she didn''t have free time. The new council is solidifying itself under Huo Yuhao''s influence, and her job is to monitor everything. "Can I go?" Venna asked excitedly, forgetting her condition. Huo Yuhao flicked her forehead and replied, "Maybe next time." "Take a nap and Cultivate diligently." "Ugh..." Venna was disappointed. Nheless, a happy smile bloomed on her face. After all, she made significant progress with Huo Yuhao in just a day. "Also, this." Huo Yuhao picked a Spiritual-Type Rune Stone from his inventory. It''s the most suitable one for Venna''s Charming Demoness''s Mask. "Ask Mi or Kuroka how to absorb it." "I can''t, Nyaa~!" Kuroka jumped out of the bush. "Nyaa~!" Koneko added while nodding her head. She blushed hard when realizing her cat-like entrance, mimicking her sister''s usual behavior. "Why so?" Huo Yuhao nced at the ck cat. Kuroka tilted her head and answered, "I''m tracking Rizevim Lucifer''s location right now. Teaching Venna-san about the Spirit Master''s cultivation will hinder my progress." "That grandpa of Vali is currently in the Underworld." "Some informant in the Khaos Brigade told me so." "Oh yeah, those wizards you left alive in the first meeting are actually from the Astaroth n''s Territory. They have been hiding in the disguise of servants there." She added solemnly. Grayfia frowned and mumbled, "Astaroth n..." "There was a shady business rted to them in thest ten years. I heard the current heir of the Astaroth n has visited the human world very often, specifically the Vatican." "His name is Diodora Astaroth if I remember correctly, having unknown peerage members that even some people couldn''t recognize because they always wore robes..." "Their robes are awfully simr to what the wizard''s legion wears in the first meeting." The maid connected the dots. "This is not a coincidence." Huo Yuhao recalled the fight between Rias Gremory''s Peerage and Diodora Astaroth''s Peerage in the anime. How could he forget this moment? "Master, you have received a message from Sister Ying''er." Giana chimed in from the watch on his wrist. "Sister Ying''er said someone called Diodora has been harassing nuns and holy maidens in the Vatican. That devil also tried to make Asia Argento looks horrible, causing her to get exiled before she helped the pitiful girl." "Fia, where is Astaroth n?" Huo Yuhao asked the maid. Grayfia smiled faintly and answered, "It''s near the Familiar Forest." "How convenient..." Huo Yuhaoughed a little. [Ding! you have triggered a mission] [Name: The Karma Chaos Dragon and The Lucifer] [Objective: Go to the Familiar Forest and help Tiamat kill Rizevim Lucifer(0/2)] [Reward: 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket and Tiamat''s Affection(based on the performance)] [Penalty: Tiamat''s Death and She Bes an Undead] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] ''Yes.'' Huo Yuhao epted the Quest immediately. ... ... ROAR! A loud dragon roar echoed within the core area of the Familiar Forest. It''s a terrifying roar filled with hatred and intent to kill. "Rizevim Lucifer, how dare you steal my treasure!" A bale blue Western Dragon with celestial blue scales stood at the cave entrance, ring at the small figure before her. The small figure is the son of the original Lucifer, Rizevim Lucifer. "Why, You''re mad?" The devil returned casually. "It''s not like you are going to use it anyway." Tiamat huffed and angrily said, "Then, Die." Chapter 126: Calling Huo Yuner and Lucky Spin Chapter 126: Calling Huo Yun''er and Lucky Spin --- Chapter 126 --- With a n ready and a quest going, Huo Yuhao contacted Qianye Ying''er through his watch. It''s somewhat surprising because the satellite signal could prate the difference between the space realm. Remember, Huo Yuhao is still in the Underworld. Huo Yuhao had already guessed how this could happen after a brief assumption. Since the world of Highschool DxD has started to adapt to Douluo Dalu''s Spirit Energy, this new source of power quickly traveled through space & time and spread across entire realms. Allowing IOFI, or Interster Orbital Facility Item scan more than RISU could do in the Douluo''s orbit. Huo Yuhao currently waited for Grayfia and others on the edge of the floating ind. He dialed a contact in his watch and heard a low-ringed ringtone echoing. "Hello~?" A familiar voice appeared. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Hello, mom." "How are you?" "Oh my... Someone finally remembered his mother. How cruel of you to only call me now, Hao''er! Hmph!" Huo Yun''er pouted on the other side of the call. She''s watching over her student, who seems absorbed in their literature material. "W-Well, I was quite busy." Huo Yuhaoughed nervously. Even though he knew this wouldn''t work for Huo Yun''er, he still tried to make an excuse because he was "honestly." focused on too many things. Of course, Huo Yun''er rolled her eyes when hearing the excuse. ''How adorable.'' She thought to herself. It''s like a child lying with all the evidence lying around on the ground. ''Hao''er be more yfultely, huh? It''s a good thing because he finally could rx for a bit. Our world is too messed up and mentally consuming, especially for him.'' Huo Yun''er recalled her son''s repetitive all-nighters throughout the month. When Huo Yuhao received his mission to conquer this world, he trained in the Advalon without a blink of sleep. If Huo Yuhao is exhausted, he will meditate and adapt first to his condition. Pushing his limit is borderline self-torturing. His training cannot be replicated, even for Scathach. "Hmm, Mom will trust you for now." Huo Yun''er smiled a little. "Come visit Tokyo soon. I have prepared some gifts for you." "They are ripe, thick, and juicy~!" "There is also a fresh and young one here~!!" Huo Yuhao was speechless when hearing Huo Yun''er reply. She was not talking about food, so it must be women she approved there. He isn''t dense enough not to know Huo Yun''er way of thinking. Still, This mother with a severe sonplex is wild because she likely conquered Kyoto or the whole Youkai Faction by merely revealing her goddess-like presence. ''Oh god, I hope she doesn''t do anything evil there.'' Huo Yuhao hoped while releasing a sigh. "Thanks, mom." "I''ll be looking for your giftter." "Love you." Hestly said. Huo Yun''er smiled and replied, "Love you too~!" "And see you soon~!!" At Kyoto, Huo Yun''er hummed happily because the beloved Hao''er finally called her. She looked down on the teaching ss and saw severaldies or girls with beautiful appearances. They are in the top 1% of this country and possess enough raw potential to be valuable. "Girls, what''s our motto?" She called them out. "Young master Huo Yuhao is number one." They responded immediately in harmony. "People who offend him are trash. Minuscule dust in this vast universe." "Serving him is the noblest duty, public or private." A scroll hung on a tall pole rolled down and revealed Huo Yuhao''s portrait of when he was reaching 12 years old. He''s wearing azy hakama with his blue hair let down. His blue eyes are clear and steady, perfecting the handsome face blessed upon him. "Praise, Young master Yuhao~!!" A shout ignited the spirit in the room. It wasing from a girl. She is a beautiful young woman with ck hair and violet eyes with a ribbon on the right side of her hair, wearing an unorthodox Miko(Shrine Maiden) outfit consisting of a in white robe, a red skirt, and ck stockings. This girl is Amaterasu, or what people throughout history have known as the Goddess of the Sun. The former leader of the Shinto Faction, who sealed herself inside a cave for several hundred years. Only Yasaka and her siblings knew this cave until Huo Yun''er teleported inside it, forcing the Goddess to uncover herself. And the Divine Foxy Mother dragged her out and began spreading the supreme sonplex holy writing to Japan in just a few weeks. It''s gaining poprity because this genre is quite rare in this era. And singledies or even married ones had been corrupted by the cultured book at an rming rate, making global warming look pathetic. The holy "It is wrong for a mother to love her son passionately." and "100 ways to win your son''s heart." have be best-sellers, causing a wave in the light novel industry. Even though slower, these books have started to reach other countries. The author EAY is a genius with a mysterious identity, and only some people know her personally. ''Fufu~! SPREAD DA CULTURE~!! MUAHAHAHA~!!!'' A burst ofughter echoed in Huo Yun''er mind. This voice is somewhat simr to Huo Yun''er herself but less motherly and more experienced in certain aspects. A pink-haired woman floated within Huo Yun''er spiritual sea. She''s Huo Yun''er mentor and legacy master, Yae. Yae formed a contract to possess the inheritor''s body once in a while until Huo Yun''er created a new body for her. In the meantime, she wrote her light novels and reversed her name for the pen name. Huo Yun''er shook her head because this deity teacher of hers had a few screws loose. ''Just like me, what''s wrong with it? Immorality is hot!'' She thought while closing her eyes. ''Nothing is forbidden if you''re brave enough~!!'' Huo Yun''er breathed in and said, "Come here soon, Hao''er." ... ... Back to Huo Yuhao, everyone has prepared for Familiar Forest''s the exploration and Astarorth n''s cleaning. Coincidentally, Koneko said that her peerage master(Rias Gremory) and Sona Sitri nned to visit the Familiar Forest. They have scheduled to do this since Rias reincarnated Issei Hyoudou into a devil. "I hope your dumb master doesn''t do anything idiotic there." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butment. After seeing Rias and witnessing her inability to control the peerage despite being a high-ranked young devil, he was disappointed. The red-headed dummy literally let her knight fight someone stronger by a mile away. She could have told him to retreat and solidify their defense formation first. Having an emotional subordinate sure is hard, but if this was her limit of authority. Then her peerage is doomed. ''Just how many plots helped Rias and Issei survive this world?'' Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. "Then, I''ll be going." Huo Yuhao pped his devil wings. "Have a safe trip, Devil God/Lord Yuhao." Venna and Mi lowered their heads slightly. They somehow look like a long-lost twin with brown hair and purple eyes. "Mm, I''ll be waiting here too." Ingvild waved her hand at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smiled at them slightly and looked at the people who would apany him to the Familiar Forest. Serafall and Koneko joined this trip because Rias and Sona mighte in contact with Rizevimter. As for Kuroka and Ophis, they are doing this for fun. "Well, let''s go!" Huo Yuhao loosened himself and vanished from everyone''s eyes, flying to the horizon with the speed of sound. A sonic boom echoed several kilometers away from them. Grayfia summoned her handgun and shot herself with an elerating bullet, which increased her speed by a lot. She also disappeared from her position and followed Huo Yuhao from behind. Meanwhile, Ophis yawned and kicked the air, teleporting herself to Huo Yuhao''s side. "Boo~! What a show-off!" Kurokained while puffing her cheeks because there was no way she could follow them with her physical ability alone. Kuroka might be fast butpared to a monster like Grayfia and Ophis. She is nothing. It also applies to Serafall and Koneko. "Damn..." Serafallmented with a weak smile. She knew Huo Yuhao could awaken one''s martial soul, but to think Grayfia would grow to this level was astonishing. It''s not even two months since Huo Yuhao reappeared back in this world. ''Yuhao Onii-sama is amazing~!'' Koneko''s eyes brightened when seeing this scenery. She clenched her tiny hand and vowed to be stronger soon, like what the saintess taught her. Serafall shook her head and said, "Let''s just use the teleportation magic." "Flying there will be a hassle." "True..." The Nekoshou sisters agreed with Serafall. Huo Yuhao breathed in and felt the air around him, smiling because Spirit Energy''s concentration had be thicker. He activated his Observation Haki and scanned the area he passed through. ''Evo, how many Upgrading Tickets do I have currently?'' [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(44), Gold(1), ck Gold(1), tinum(1)] Evo showed him the system panel. There are still a few kilometers away from the Familiar Forest, ording to Grayfia''s map. He has enough time to upgrade something to satisfy his boredom. Also, He gained some Silver Upgrading Tickets from the side mission. Huo Yuhao remembered he got Martial Technique Lucky Spin from killing Devil King''s descendant quest. And he was annoyed. "Fuck, it''s gacha again." "Even with my luck and skill, I''m still not confident with it..." [Do you want to use Martial Technique Lucky Spin?] "Ugh, do it." Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat. [High Roller activated] [Spin...] Huo Yuhao looked at the spinning circle before him and at least hoped for a good martial technique. Even if he got a bad one, he could upgrade it in the future, but let''s not get his hopes down first. [Ding!] "This..." Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened in surprise. [You have obtained "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves." Technique] Chapter 127: FBI, Open Up! Chapter 127: FBI, Open Up! --- Chapter 127 --- [You have obtained "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves." Technique] [Name: Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves] [Type: Martial Technique/Cultivation Art] [Grade: Unknown] [Description: Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves is a martial technique created by Nameless Master, which failed to reach its full potential. The main principle of this technique is to create boundless energy akin to waves by causing a ripple inside one''s heart] ["One ripple moves the sea, causing a wave that grows into a massive tsunami and devours everything before it."] ["Waves aren''t just formed in water as time and space also relied on a wave to stabilize the worldw. Without waves, even light and darkness wouldn''t exist in this vast universe."] [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves is also a Cultivation Art. It converted one''s movement physically and spiritually into pure ki for all-purpose, attacking, defense, and support] [In a way, the force created from the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves ispatible with all kinds of energy because the "waves." adapt to everything] [Do you want to learn the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves Technique?] "Before that, why is the grade unknown?" Huo Yuhao asked Evo. [There are two possibilities] Neo answered monotonously. [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves is "Gradeless." because the creator hasn''t fully developed the technique] [Or the current system is too low to view its value] Huo Yuhao frowned when hearing the second possibility an overpowered system shouldn''t have such a problem. Maybe he was lowballing the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, but an unknown technique like this always has one or two ws. There is no such thing as a perfect technique because even the Universal Breathing Technique has limitations. That''s why Huo Yuhao and Scathach invented Spirit Circuits to hasten Spirit Master''s growth. Oh well, Huo Yuhao only has to find it out by himself. [You have learned the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves Technique] Huo Yuhao doesn''t have to be in a meditation position to feel something is changing inside his body. He could sense a small wave churning between his Spiritual Core and Energy Core, bing the center of it. It ripples for a moment and steadily turns into a wave-like sequence. The only problem is the Wave is very close to his Blood Core. Huo Yuhao shook his head because he would fix thister when finishing his quest. "What an interesting technique." Hemented while reviewing the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves. The "wave." is pretty aggressive because weak forces such as raw demonic power or light energy would get devoured instantly. Huo Yuhao created a ripple in his finger and flicked an airwave to a cloud before him, causing a sonic st. He was speechless because it was almost effortless to create such an attack. Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and mumbled, "Is it because of the technique? No, it just amplifies my base strength." "Huh, what a neat technique." "It''s sad that I can''t upgrade it yet." [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves has reached Level 1] "Anyway, let''s finish this guy." Huo Yuhao noticed the Familiar Forest was a few miles away. Far away from the Highschool DxD''s world, a smallntern within a dark universe ignited after billions of years. The light spread over and illuminated several gxies. "Gathering... Ten Thousand Waves. The Secret Art of our little universe has found its new owner." A mysterious voice echoed. It''s hard to discern whether this voice was female or male. "Are we finally able to reach that ce?" "A ce that the Nameless Master failed to reach..." Thentern shook slightly and started to be dimmer with each second. "Not yet. The Lord hasn''t awakened the True Wave of Ten Thousand Universes. This humble observer and servant shall wait till you discover us." Another voice added, causing the dark universe to return to normal condition. Completely dark without a speck of light. ... ... Huo Yuhao frowned and nced at his back, seeing Grayfia and Ophis following him. Is it just his feeling a while ago, or did someone observe him from afar? It''s weird. He had never felt like this before because Evo didn''t notify him about anything dangerous. Nor his battle instinct jumped out of nowhere to warn him. Huo Yuhao tried to use Observation Haki and peeked into the future, but he only saw an almost dead guy with a pig-like face on the ground. This guy is Rizevim Livan Lucifer. "Yuhao-sama?" Grayfia''s voice awakened Huo Yuhao from his deep thought. "Why are you staring nkly at the ground?" Huo Yuhaoughed weakly and replied, "Well, I''m just thinking about something. Anyway, this is the Familiar Forest, right?" Grayfia nodded while moving her gaze to a vast forest surrounded by the mountain range. Several magic barriers are ced on this ce to protect certain species from extinction. Of course, a guardian lived in this ce. The Chaos Karma Dragon, Tiamat. She hailed to be almost equal or strong enough to fight Heavenly Dragons and some gods in the outside world. Not to mention she possessed a lot of treasures from the olden era, allowing her to create chaos by simply using one of them. ROAR! BOOM! A massive explosion escaped the barrier and blew the sky apart, leaving Grayfia startled. She just tried to peek into the future event within the forest, but it happened. "These smells, Tiamat and Rizevim." Ophis arrived shortly after, and her nose sniffed familiar scents. "What is Rizevim doing here?" Huo Yuhao saw a great western dragon with celestial blue scales chasing after a devil. He was speechless because the chase split the mountain range in half. And the dragon possessed such an unruly destructive presence. ''What a strong presence...'' Tian Mengmented while frowning slightly. ''No matter what world it was, a dragon is such a noble creature. The previous heavenly dragon Yuhao fought is around 200.000 years old in strength if we use Douluo Dalu''s Universe System.'' ''And they could still grow even stronger with time...'' The Skydream Ice Worm clicked her tongue andined, ''Tch, how unfair.'' Bing Di rolled her eyes because the dragon bloodline is the most sought-after, even in Douluo Dalu''s Universe. The strongest known Spirit Beast on the Douluo Continent is literally a dragon who lived in the Star Dou Forest. She, the Ice Emperor, merely ranked 7th with her noble bloodline. The Ice Emperor doesn''t want to admit it, but there is a vast gap between her and the legendary Golden-Eyed ck Dragon. However, the gap is even wider if she had topare Tiamat to the annoying ck dragon. Meanwhile, Eluxia only watched the fight with a calm look on her face because it didn''t interest her. It''s a good fight but too crude in control. ''This world needs a lot of work.'' The necromancermented casually. "DIE!" A hateful voice reverberated in the mountain. Rizevim dodged a burning me andnded on the rock, looking at the female dragon before him meticulously. He created several magic bullets in the air andunched them at Tiamat. These magic bullets are ten meters in size, having the power to destroy middle-sized towns instantly. Tiamat rolled her entire body and whipped her tail, causing a sweeping force to sh with the magic bullets. Still, it wasn''t enough to erase Rizevim''s attack. BOOM! Tiamat crashed on the mountainside and groaned in annoyance. How did Rizevim be so powerful in a short amount of time? One century ago, he wasn''t this strong. "Bastard, you used Ophis''s Snake, didn''t you?!" Shees to a realization. Rizevim chuckled and responded, "So What if I used Ophis''s Snake? It doesn''t matter in life and death battle, no?" "Just give me your life-changing treasure, Tiamat." "And this will be over painlessly." "I don''t want to kill a good tool like you." He haughtily added. As if he could kill Tiamat anytime. Tiamat stood up and angrily challenged, "Try me, bitch." They shed even fiercer than before, destroying a portion of Familiar Forest. Tiamat attacked more aggressively, but none of them even seriously damaged Rizevim. Only some scratch, that''s it. Rizevim dealt more damage to Tiamat than the Chaos Karma Dragon could do to him. The fiery breath doesn''t stand a chance against Rizevim''s concentrated magic bullets. Being the first descendant of Lucifer is sure giving him a perk in talent. Unfortunately, Rizevim''s fate was pletely." sealed when Huo Yuhao received Lucifer''s Last Will Quest a while ago. And Huo Yuhao epted two more quests rted to Ophis and Tiamat, which tasked him to erase this guy from the living world. Just how fucked up is this guy? "Yuhao, I felt a portion of my power near this ce." Ophis suddenly said while chewing her candy. "It''s very close..." "It''s here." Huo Yuhao blinked and saw the exact copy of Ophis floating a meter away from him. It''s a young girl in a gothic dress, having her hair styled in a ponytail. "Who are you?" The girl tilted her head. "Why does Lilith feel two sources of infinity here?" "Lilith is confused." Ophis tilted her head and said, "I see... Rizevim created you using my power." "Give it back, my power." "Don''t wanna," Lilith responded tly. "..." Ophis. "..." Lilith. Rizevim briefly looked up and saw his bodyguard facing three unknown people. Wait, is that Ophis? He was shocked and mumbled, "What''s Ophis doing here? Isn''t she supposed to stay in the main headquarters?" "She alsoes with Grayfia Lucifuge." "Something is weird." "How dare you divert your focus on something else!!" Tiamatunched a beam from her mouth. BOOM! Rizevim was caught off guard and shouted, "Lilith, do your job!" "Rizevim, Protect... Lilith''s Duty." The copy of the ouroboros dragon disappeared from the sky and appeared before Tiamat. She opened her little palm and sted Tiamat away. BOOM! Cough! Tiamatnded on theke and coughed a mouthful of blood. Huo Yuhao threw Senzu Bean into Tiamat''s mouth and said, "Go take a rest, Tiamat." "I''ll deal with Rizevim." "Well, I''ming here for him." "Dragon God..." Rizevim connected the dots quickly. Huo Yuhao smiled and added, "I must say, you''re hiding quite well Rizevim Livan lucifer. I''ve been searching for you for a few weeks, but who would have you visit the Underworld too." "What a coincidence." "Lilith, kill him." Rizevim doesn''t beat around the bush and orders his bodyguard immediately. Lilith nodded and jumped into the air, covering her little hand in purple-colored energy. She clenched her hand into a fist and punched Huo Yuhao straight ahead. nk! "Annoying..." Ophis appeared with Yeaoi in her hand, defending Huo Yuhao from the fist. "That''s my power... Give it back." Ophis added a little more force into her stone stick and drove Lilith away to the border of Familiar Forest. She clumsily waved her weapon and caused a massive shockwave. BOOM! "You''re weaker than Lilith. Weird." Lilith jumped back into the air. "You should be stronger than Lilith." And that''s because of the seal Huo Yuhao ced on Ophis a little over a week ago. Ophis pointed her staff at Lilith and said, "I''ll show you the power of my stick." "Shishou will be proud." Huo Yuhaoughed on the side. "Oh well, I have trash to burn." Huo Yuhao appeared beside Rizevim and stated, "FBI, Open up!" "You''re arrested for illegal childbor and possession of an underage girl!" Chapter 128: Rizevims End Chapter 128: Rizevim''s End --- Chapter 128 --- "You''re arrested for illegal childbor and possession of an underaged girl." Huo Yuhao ced his hand on Rizevim''s shoulder and added spiritual pressure, causing the devil to groan in pain for a moment. Rizevim was startled because he couldn''t feel Huo Yuhao''s presence. The mastery of Extreme Lightning Mirage has reached the stage where even the 6th sense couldn''t grasp Huo Yuhao''s location. His control over this stealth movement technique is higher than the creator itself. No way in hell Rizevim could sense him with demonic power alone. Nevertheless, Rizevim is calm. He could see a way to fight Huo Yuhao and survive this situation. He breathed out and observed the surroundings for a second, smiling because the item had arrived. "Dragon God..." Rizevimposed himself. "Why don''t we retreat from each other for a beneficial rtionship in the future?" Huo Yuhao retracted his spiritual pressure and yed it well, "Oh? Beneficial rtionship?" "What exactly can you provide me for, Lucifer''s Son? My only goal is to conquer this world, and I tend not to y around with my food." Rizevim oversaw Ophis''s sh with Lilith and smiled inside because everything was in a perfect location. He twisted his shoulder to escape Huo Yuhao''s grasp and summoned a sword with an unpleasant bloody aura. BAM! Huo Yuhao frowned and stayed in his position. A sharp sword''s edge was about to reach his neck, but he casually lifted his finger and coated it with Armament Haki. nk! "Quite a decent sword." Hemented lightly. "As expected of the handsome-faced swordsman. There is no way my surprise attack could catch you off guard." As the dust cleared, a young man stood before Huo Yuhao. He''s a handsome young man with silver-white hair and red eyes, wearing a priest outfit like Freed Sellzen with a Japanese Gakuran coat over it. His appearance is a mix between Kiba Yuuto and the psychopath devil hunter. "My name is Siegfried. The descendant of the dragon-ying hero, Siegfried." "Nice to meet you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." He grinned with intense battle spirit. His lust for battle isparable to Spirit Saint above. About his strength, Sigfried is more or simr to Sairaorg. "Swordsman, huh?" Huo Yuhao pinched the demonic sword between his finger. Unlike the united Excalibur, this sword is much sturdier. It''s still not enough, though. BAM! Siegfried was blown away by Huo Yuhao''s finger and staggered a few meters away with a shocked expression. That attack is so ordinary but packed with force. "Twice Critical: Bnce Breaker." "Chaos Edge Asura Revenge." Siegfried manifested two more pairs of arms. They are silver in color, having the same texture as dragon scales. Five swords flew out of his robe and fit into each arm,pleting the transformation. ''Hmm, this is just like Eas. No, Eas isn''t connected to my body because they float around me.'' Huo Yuhao thought while observing Siegfried. Huo Yuhao was toozy to bring out his weapon from the Azure Emperor Vault nor create one through the Great Apostle Creation. He nced at the nearest tree branch and broke it off using Ruler Authority. "Oh?" Sigfried was surprised. "Are you going to fight me with that twig?" Huo Yuhao coated the twig with Armament Haki and replied, "This twig is more than enough." "HAHAHA~!" Siegfried rushed forward andunched a flurry of sword attacks at him. Each sh carried enough strength to split a mountain apart, but Huo Yuhao parried everything without breaking a sweat. nk! "HOW??" [Armament Haki: EX] "Nanomachine, son. It hardens in response to kic impact." Huo Yuhao answered while kicking Siegfried in the guts. Huo Yuhao didn''t stop and bashed Siegfried with the twig, breaking his body from the inside. When Armament Haki reached peak mastery, one could damage their enemies internally. It is called "Ryou." or Internal Destruction ording to the Haki Training Manual, ater emission stage. "KuugH!" Crash! Siegfried''s silver arm was broken in half, leaving five barely functioning. Huo Yuhao stepped on Siegfried''s back and pulled the rest apart by himself, causing him to roar in pain. "ARGHHHHHH!!!" "M-MY ARMS!" Huo Yuhao ripped the Sacred Gear away and stabbed the twig into Siegfried''s chest. He nced at the young man''s real arms and stomped on them mercilessly. "With this, you can''t use a sword anymore." Crack! A bone-breaking noise echoed in the forest as Huo Yuhao pulled Siegfried''s arm like a twig before. He burned them with Thunderfire andmented, "Not so tough, eh?" "Y-You... Demon." Siegfried cried in agony and hatefully red at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smiled innocently and replied, "People say that a lot. But what about you? Since you''re Siegfried, what about Siegroast?" "W-What are you-!" Before Siegfried could react on time. A bright purple me appeared out of nowhere and burned him to the ground. The descendant of the dragon-ying hero has be nothing but ash. Huo Yuhao shrugged and added, "My bad, It''s more like a Siegburnt." BOOOOM! A loud shockwave spread over the Familiar Forest, and Huo Yuhao saw Ophis bashing her staff into Lilith. Their fight is more shy than his for some reason. He shook his head and located Rizevim a mile away from the Familiar Forest. The devil is clearly trying to escape this ce by sacrificing Seigfried to stall him here. "Skye, bring him here." Huo Yuhao casually ordered one of his shadow generals. "Right away, my liege." Skye jumped from the shadow and flew away, causing a series of wind storms. ... ... Ophis pushed Lilith to the ground, ramming Yeoui with all her sealed might. She might be clumsy with her staff-handing technique, but under Scathach, that charm added to each of her attacks. She hasn''t used 40% of her true strength because she wanted to see how different Lilith is from her. After all, Liliths is like her before meeting Huo Yuhao. A t, emotionless being who doesn''t enjoy candy. At least she had a goal to take over the Dimensional Gap. But Lilith''s duty and life goal are to protect Rivezim, which seems to be shallower than eating a bowl of candy. "How could you be this strong... Lilith is surprised." Lilith wiped small blood from her lips. Despite theck of facial expression, she was genuinely shocked by Ophis''s strength. Ophis rested the staff on her shoulder and answered, "This is the power of candy." "Candy..." Lilith mumbled to herself. "Lilith wonders how it tastes..." "You''ll know soon." Ophis grabbed Lilith''s hand and absorbed the copy into herself, restoring her original power. Lilith crumbled in purple light and caused Rizevim to cough blood. Cough! Ten miles away, Rizevim stopped on theke and coughed a mouthful of blood. His creation, Lilith, has been destroyed by someone in the Familiar Forest. "How could this be!?" Rizevim wiped his mouth in awe. "Lilith shouldn''t be killed so easily, even if Ophis went down and fought her personally." "I used Sephiroth Grall to create the strongest body in this world, but to think it would still lose..." Rizevim Livan Lucifer has been nning to ascend this world, reaching a ce that no one ever touches with the help of Trihexa. Yet, he couldn''t even get the final piece within Tiamat''s treasure cave. There are five more seals ced on by Biblical God that prevent Trihexa from destroying this world. With Tiamat''s treasure Reverse-Drill Lance, he could break them instantly and free the legendary Emperor Beast of Destruction. Trihexa would go rampant and force the Great Red to leave the Dimensional Gap. There is even a possibility that the Great Red falls under Trihexa''s ws. ROAR! A massive shadow dragonnded on theke and faced him with great animosity. "There is no other way..." Rizevim guessed someone was chasing him. He created a magic circle and ced it himself. Skye rushed like the wind and stabbed Rizevim''s chest with his shadowy sharp tail, pulling the devil to the sky. The shadow general pped his wing and returned to the Familiar Forest. BAM! Rizevim got thrown into the ground. Huo Yuhao grinned andmented, "Well, well. Look what we have here, the son of Lucifer." "Aren''t you too shameless and tried to run away from me?" "Who told you I am running?" Rizevimughed while spitting on Huo Yuhao''s clothes. "This is part of my n." "You can''t kill me, Dragon God. When someone takes my life, the breaking magic on Trihexa''s prison will be activated and awaken the beast." "Do you know what that means?" "Full destruction of this world." Huo Yuhao stared at Rizevim and responded with augh, "HAHAHA~! And?" "You''re an idiot. Do you think I care?" "I''ve been searching for Trihexa myself, so you''re doing a free job for me, fool." "So what if the beast destroyed this world? I can restore everything with me on top. A hero who saved this world, which sounds nice, no?" "Huh?" Rizevim''s eyes widened in shock. Huo Yuhao kneeled on the ground to face Rizevim and whispered, "In the first ce, I''m not from this world, idiot." "I''m from another world." "..." Rizevim. "N-No way..." "This can''t be!!" "Y-You are lying!!!" "Aww, someone is in denial." Huo Yuhao patted Rizevim''s cheek and shared a vision of Douluo Dalu''s Universe. Rizevim was pletely." dumbfounded by the information and couldn''t believe it for a moment. However, this is simply the truth. Huo Yuhao stopped the vision and said, "You could have be a good son by listening to your father''s will." "Yet, here you are with a n to destroy this world''s foundation and sacrifice millions of lives." "Truly a fool." Rizevim looked down at the ground, having a mental breakdown. "In my homeworld, even trash could be a god." Huo Yuhao smirked widely, like a devil. "Sadly, even trash like you is not qualified." "Goodbye, Rizevim." Huo Yuhaobined the concept of Dark Light and Destruction, turning Rizevim into a particle of silver light. He saw a trail of demonic power or magical energy flying in the atmosphere, but he won''t stop it. He left it be so that Trihexa could escape the prison. "Also, such a trick won''t work on me, Rizevim." Huo Yuhao clenched his hand and grabbed Rizevim''s soul with Ruler Authority. He looked at the soul and burned it with Thunderfire, erasing Rizevim from this world.

Chapter 129: Is it a Scheme or Coincidence? --- Chapter 129 --- "Being blessed with women is a thing." "But what''s this NYAA~!!" Kurokained when arriving at the Familiar Forest because she saw a blue-haired buxom of ady intimately hugging her darling. She was furious as they weren''t apart for more than 10 minutes. "Tch, Onii-sama, such a chick ma. I was hoping for a time with just us around." Koneko clicked her small tongue in annoyance. She peeked at the Tiamat and became more annoyed because the dragon was more well-endowed than her. "Too big..." Koneko stared at her budding chest and mumbled, "I''m still young... They would grow, right?" Serafall Leviathan rubbed her forehead when seeing this. She wasn''t against Huo Yuhao forming a rtionship, but as the supreme leader of the devils. He''s too casual with makingdies fall in love. And she''s not a typicaldy either. It''s a freaking Chaos Karma Dragon, Tiamat. "This is getting out of hand." Serafall''s mouth twitched in disbelief. If this keeps going, the magical devil girl Levia-than wouldn''t be able to bring peace to the underworld. She could only sigh and wish that no moredies fall in love with Huo Yuhao. Maybe this is a form of jealousy, which is a confusing stage for herself. Huo Yuhao pushed Tiamat away and said, "Don''t call me "Hubby." for fuck sake. We aren''t even close." "Hehe, don''t be like that, hubby~! Even though I don''t dislike this cold side of yours." Tiamat smiled happily. "This makes things more exciting in our marriage life." "Ahh~! You were so bright and brave when saving me back then." "..." Huo Yuhao was kinda regretting finishing the Quest. This world is indeed for horny boys. Tiamat is a beautiful woman with long blue hair reaching her ankles. Her facial feature is exquisite and even rivaled the beauty known in the Dragon Nest with a pair of crimson eyes with slitted pupils. She''s wearing her scales, which seemed like a leotard with a celestial oversized blue coat above it. They are covering her creamy white skin and vital areas, but at the same time also exposing it to the world. There is always a thin line between nudity and lewd, but Tiamat stood between these categories. Barely, that''s it. "You smell so good~!" Tiamat walked around Huo Yuhao and sniffed him like a dog. She even wagged her rear excitedly, which left Huo Yuhao speechless. [Title: Lay the Dragon, not y the Dragon] [Grade: A] [Effect: Increase the favorability of female dragons by 10%] [Title: Lucky Bastard] [Grade: A+] [Effect: Increase the chance of a lucky encounter by 12%] [Title: Harem Protagonist] [Grade: S] [Effect: Increase the chance of making the opposite gender fall in love by 20%] ''What the fuck, Evo!'' Huo Yuhao sighed inside. Sometimes having an Ex Rank Luck is troublesome. [All titles obtained through your actions, Host] Evo responded dully. [The system have no qualm about this matter] "I thought so." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and frowned because someone was trying to peek again. He turned around and saw a trace of shadow disappearing between the flickering sunlight. "Fia, see 5 minutes into the past. I sensed a group of people gathering here when I fought Rizevim." Huo Yuhao ordered the maid. Grayfia nodded and used temporal eyes, gazing around the Familiar Forest for a few seconds. She was startled when seeing a hooded man with a strange-looking spear. ''That spear...'' ''Longinus.'' She thought to herself. Grayfia deactivated her spirit skill and said, "A few hooded people rted to the Rizevim were here a moment ago. One of them possessed the True Longinus." "Oh?" Huo Yuhao was slightly surprised. He might not read Highschool DxD light novels, but he watches the anime out of boredom. The only character that matches Grayfia''s description is a guy from Hero Faction. The possessor of Sacred Gear: True Longinus, Cao Cao. Grayfia told Huo Yuhao that the six-armed swords guy Siegfried was also part of this group, which confirmed Huo Yuhao''s guess. Sadly, Grayfia couldn''t see more into the past, so their escape route wasn''t visible. "I''mcking, sorry..." The maid lowered her head. Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It''s okay, Fia." "You still have a long way to go, especially on reaching a higher mastery of your spirit skills." "I haven''t mastered mines after 6, no seven years of cultivating." Heughed wryly. It''s not a lie because Spatial Maniption is a vast Spirit Skill to explore. Huo Yuhao hasn''t gotten the hang of it until this very moment. If he used Evo''s grading system, his spatial maniption would be around the S grade rank. It falls short in gradepared to his other mastery but stronger in force because Space/Spatial is one of the universe''s fundamental aspects. "SOMEONE HELP!" A cry of a girl emerged from the forest. Everyone nced at the source and discovered Sona Sitri running from the bushes. Serafall Leviathan''s eyes widened and moved before anyone could spout a word. "Sona!" The devil king sounded more panicked than usual. Huo Yuhao''s spiritual senses were "slightly." shaken because over a thousand creatures made of shadow lingered in this ce. At first, he doesn''t notice it, but with Ashborn''s spark within his body. Such a maniption over a creature with little to no soul is noticeable now. ''Was I distracted?'' Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and expanded the spiritual sea to cover the Familiar Forest. He realized something and smiled in amusement. He moved his gaze back to Tiamat and said, "Tiamat, you might want to return to your cave. Someone has breached your magic barrier." "Ack!" Tiamat immediately rushed to her cave. ... "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!" "FUCKKKKK!!" "MY BABY!!!" A frustrated roar reverberated in the Familiar Forest because someone had stolen Tiamat''s treasure. The robber didn''t take everything, but he was still stealing in broad daylight. While Tiamat was busy with Rizevim, the robber took his chance and took the most valuable treasure within her cave. "I''ll kill that guy..." Tiamat''s eyes cried in tears. A hateful aura is ring from each cell of her body. "I''ll kill that guy..." "I will fucking kill that guy!!" "Oh, damn. This ce is no different than a broken ship after the violent storm." Huo Yuhao used the wormhole and followed Tiamat to her cave. "They sure know how to destroy a ce, huh?" "But they are also stupid for leaving evidence." "On the outside, Several beast-like creatures made of Sacred Gear: Annihtion Breaker tried to create chaos. If you destroyed them and tracked the trail, you might able to find the robber." "Hubby~!! You''re so smart!" Tiamat went for a kiss, but Huo Yuhao casually threw her into a wormhole. He sent the Chaos Karma Dragon to the Annihtion Maker''s beasts. Huo Yuhao grabbed the nearest chair and yfullymented, "Go mad Tiamat. Let me show your worth." And as expected. Tiamat went hard on the beast made by the Annihtion Maker and destroyed every one of them in just a blink of an eye. She doesn''t even bother to use her me because physical attacks are just as effective. After all, these creatures "actually." were not made to fight dragons like her. They are here for distraction. "Annihtion Maker." "One of the Longinus." "A Sacred Gear with an overpowered ability to create a monster based on the wielder''s raw imagination." "It''s rumored the wielder could create an Anti-God monster, which sounded right at my alley." "Don''t you think so, Sister Daydream, Bing Di, and teacher?" Huo Yuhao grinned, which made the contracted soulsugh. ''HEHEHE, with that Sacred Gear, you''ll be more broken, Yuhao~!! This sister approves!!'' Tian Meng rubbed her hand in expectation. She wanted to see Huo Yuhao''s enemy suffer in the future. ''Chaos shall reign this batshit horny world!'' ''Ugh, Edgy... You''ll be a bad influence on Helena.'' Bing Di said while covering her mouth in disgust. ''Nheless, I''m with you this time because such ability is priceless.'' ''I''ve never heard of an item that creates a horde of the army, which could kill even a god.'' Eluxia wanted to say something but hesitated a little. Her necromancer ability is basically a one-man''s army ability that''s more versatile than Annihtion Maker''s basic form. Huo Yuhao probably knows about this already because he could bring back the dead to the living world from pure darkness, which is the pr opposite of her Light Necromancy. If theybined both abilities, Eluxia was sure Huo Yuhao would be a person with the most "powerful." force ever recorded. Eluxia shook her head and said, ''There is nothing wrong with stealing this Sacred Gear.'' ''But how would you do it?'' ''Aren''t the Sacred Gear moved to another wielder immediately when the current one passed away??'' "Well, my lovely teacher seemed to forget about something." Huo Yuhao chuckled faintly. "Who created Sacred Gear again?" The contracted souls are confused for a moment. ''Fuck!'' Tian Meng cursed in realization. ''Fuck, you scheming bastard.'' ''You have been nning this from the very beginning!'' Bing Di pondered for a moment and mumbled, ''Since Huo Yuhao would be the new Biblical God ording to the previous will, he has right over the Heaven System.'' ''That means... Yuhao could strip Sacred Gear from the wielder.'' Eluxia added, which left the Spiritual Sea quiet. ''Talking about scary individuals...'' ''Aren''t you one of them?'' Huo Yuhao smiled and cluelessly responded, "What are you talking about, teacher? This handsome student of yours isn''t scary at all." "This is a coincidence." "Pure coincidence." ''Bah, that smile again! You''re ready to do something beyondmon sense again, right?'' Tian Meng started to get a pattern of Huo Yuhao''s personality. He''s not a human, outside and inside. Nor a dragon or beast. He''s a monster. When the second meeting was "hurriedly." held two days ago, it was for the first time they witnessed the new side of Huo Yuhao. The casual and yful young man is no different than a demon in a human''s skin. Huo Yuhao is not the type of "I am the justice." kind of man. He''s Kind to his subordinate and extremely cruel to his enemies. Tian Meng and Bing Di nced at each other, sighing because Huo Yuhao could be God anytime. They are just clinging to his magnificence. ''An unorthodox ruler...'' Eluxia watched over the blue-haired young man with a new light. "We are 30% away from conquering the Underworld." Huo Yuhao brushed his hair away and looked at the cave''s ceiling. "Hades." "Let''s see what kind of a game you can arrange for me." Chapter 130: Being A Harem Protagonist is Hard Chapter 130: Being A Harem Protagonist is Hard --- Chapter 130 --- "So, you guys are almost dead because of the beast?" "How awfully weak you were as a group." Huo Yuhao casuallymented while looking down at Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri''s groups. "Don''t you guys have an instinct to survive or something?" "At least run away, for fuck sake." Rias Gremory lowered her head in shame because half of her members were "seriously." injured by the beast that shouldn''t appear in the Familiar Forest. She couldn''t do anything as the beast possessed an Anti-Demonic Power ability. It also applies to Sona Sitri, as her peerage couldn''t control the horde with their formation technique. They were overwhelmed, which resulted in some people getting injured. She might be wiser than people her age but before an overwhelming force. It''s useless. Serafall listened to this berating and couldn''t help but sigh on the side because what Huo Yuhao said was true. They could have run away from the Familiar Forest. Teleportation Magic wouldn''t take 4-5 minutes to cast, and since they are heiresses of famous ns, they could even use the magic faster than the standard. Yet, they decided to stay here? The answer is pretty simple, even for Serafall, who loved her sister dearly. "Ego." She sighed in defeat. "Your ego is too big, blinding your options of choices." "We can still fight back." "We are strong enough to handle this." "After all, we are the heiress." "Right?" Serafall stared at Sona with a disappointed sigh. Sona gritted her teeth and responded, "Yes, Onee-sama." "T-This is my fault. I should have retreated quickly when the situation wasn''t favorable. You can punish me for it." She added hesitantly. "Then, as the supreme ruler of the devils. For three months, she shall wear only the magical girl outfit." Huo Yuhao smirked lightly, causing everyone to stare at him in amazement. "I agree with this punishment!" Serafall blinked a little and pped Huo Yuhao''s hand in excitement. "T-That is..." Sona nervously wanted to reject this, which would contradict her words before. She couldn''t take them back because such a decision would harm her credibility. "I ept the punishment, your majesty." "Good." Huo Yuhao nodded in amusement. "As for you, Gremory. I sentenced you to three months of a character-fixing course under my subordinate, Murong Qianxue." "Fix that head of yours before making a decision. You have to realize ego doesn''t mean shit on the battlefield. The most cautious one always survives no matter what." He continued, making Rias clench her hand tightly. "Do you understand?" Rias stared at Huo Yuhao''s piercing blue eyes and lowered her head in dread. There was a suffocating feeling in her chest. She regted her breath and replied, "I understand your majesty." However, It is not so smooth. "WHY DOES BUCHO HAVE TO BE PUNISHED?!" Issei Hyoudou jumped forward and stood before Rias, protecting her from Huo Yuhao. Everyone was stunned because this fool sure was brave. "What do we have here? Oh, is this your new host, Ddraig?" Huo Yuhao smiled while staring at Issei''s left arm. "At this point, Vali would never get an equal rival." "Tch, you annoying bastard." Ddraig appeared in the form of the red gauntlet. "I thought you would never start a conversation with me." "Well, I''m quite busy here, you see. Unification of devils isn''t an easy matter." Huo Yuhao answered casually. "O-Oy, Ddraig. You know this guy too?" Issei whispered to the gauntlet, but everyone could hear him. The new Red Dragon Emperor seemed to forget everyone here has super-hearing. Ddraig grumbled in dismay and replied, "Partner, you''re an idiot..." "Haa... Ignorance is truly bliss for you." "Rias Gremory told you once that a powerful being casually swept over the Great War and even defeated me, right? That being is the guy before you. Don''t be deceived by his appearance. Even though he saved us when Kokabiel attacked the Kuoh Academy, he''s a monster." "D-Dragon God?" Issei trembled violently. "Aww, someone is still salty." Huo Yuhao chuckled mischievously. "Are you still mad about getting destroyed by me? Or is it because of me that you got sealed into that gauntlet?" Ddraig didn''t respond nor open his mouth and huffed inside the Sacred Gear. He won''t fall to Huo Yuhao''s bait like thest time. He learned from his mistake, after all. "Anyway." Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to Issei Hyoudou. "You said, Why does Rias have to get punished?" "The reason is simple, Kid." Huo Yuhao stepped forward and showed him the difference between their heights. And Huo Yuhao was the tallest person in this ce, besides Tiamat. "In a war, if you could survive, survive." "Die honorably will only bring suffering to others." "So what if you die with your ego?" "What about others?" "Have you ever thought about your parents, knowing their son died because of his ego? Do you think they are happy?" "What achievement have you obtained in your life?" "Being a brat and a pervert? Oh god, the shame." "In this world, the winner had the power to decide everything. Your honor and ego ain''t shit." Huo Yuhao released a small percentage of his Conqueror Haki, brewing a storm in the Familiar Forest. Everyone watched Huo Yuhao lift his finger and aim it at Issei''s forehead. "Tell me, does your beloved buchou deserve her punishment? Maybe it''s too light." Huo Yuhao''s finger made contact with Issei''s forehead. BAM! Issei was blown away with a smoking forehead. He fainted andnded on a pond, where the water spirit lives. "ISSEI!" Rias shouted in worry. "Rias Gremory''s punishment will be extended to a full year. She will get prohibited from essing Gremory n''s wealth and help from her rtives, especially Sirzechs Lucifer." Huo Yuhao said while brushing his finger with a handkerchief. "She also would be stripped from her nobility and must work as a mere servant within the punishment period." "Anyint, and I''ll assign the same punishment for that person." Huo Yuhao gazed at Gremory''s peerage member coldly. Silence. They couldn''t fight Huo Yuhao''s decision. He''s the Supreme Leader of the Devil. Huo Yuhao turned around and walked away from the group, flicking his finger to fix the magic barrier around the Familiar Forest. "Serafall, contact Sirzechs and tell him about Rias''s matter." He said while stretching his neck. "Right away, your majesty." Serafall felt a little bad for Rias, but the princess of Gremory needed a lesson to grow. "Tiamat, are you going to follow me or stay here?" Huo Yuhao watched Tiamat disappear from her position. Tiamat walked to the fainted Issei and asked, "Ddraig, you haven''t brought my treasure back, no? What exnation do you have for me?" ''Fuck!'' Ddraig cursed in his mind. "O-Oh, Tiamat. Long time no see." "Where. Is. My. Treasure. DDRAIG?" Tiamat tilted her head with a small smile. "Don''t even bother with him. Your treasure was destroyed in the Great War when he fought Albion." Huo Yuhaomented while recalling the Great War. "If I remember correctly, It''s a tool to resist Albion''s poison." "Fuck, don''t expose me like that!" Ddraig was speechless. "Oh-uh." Tiamat pondered for a moment. "Hehehe..." A smallugh escaped from Tiamat''s mouth, which was never a pleasant start for Ddraig. "Being inside Sacred Gear doesn''t limit me from torturing you, you borrowing bastard!" Tiamat suddenly pulled out a small nail-like tool, having an incredible aura of death. She aimed at Issei''s hand and stabbed it without care. "Every time you try to move your soul and active your power, an incredible pain will burn you." "This curse will stay until you bring a treasure with an equal value." ''Kuugh... It''s aher nail.'' Ddraig groaned in pain, feeling his soul pulled apart. Tiamat swayed her head and hugged Huo Yuhao, "Hubby, let''s go~!" Huo Yuhao shook his head and told Grayfia to prepare Teleportation Magic. They will visit the Astaroth n shortly after because they have a connection with Rizevim. Ophis nced at the sky and mumbled, "Baka red..." The crack in the sky disappeared, causing Ophis to frown slightly. ''Is she watching Yuhao too? No, I won''t give Baka Red Yuhao and Candy, hmph!'' The ouroboros dragon climbed onto Huo Yuhao''s back, trying to protect the young man from Great Red''s observation. "Ophis?" Huo Yuhao felt the hug from her. "I''m bored... I want to stay like this for a while." Ophis replied with her usual t expression. Huo Yuhao patted her and said, "Sure." ''Darling''s left side is free~!'' Kuroka was about to jump and hug Huo Yuhao''s arm, but the silver-haired maid seized the spot. "So fast." "Shirone, I''ll visit youter. Take care." She waved her hand at Koneko and jumped to Huo Yuhao''s shoulder in her cat form. Koneko watched this scene and cursed inside that she couldn''t follow Huo Yuhao to the Astaroth n like her sister. She nced at Rias and her fellow peerage member. ''Buchou, sometimes your karma is beyond my understanding.'' She slumped while checking Issei''s condition too. Meanwhile, Rias was too stunned to speak. After hearing her punishment, the redhead nked and fainted on the ground. "Err, I''ll bring Issei," Kiba said while supporting Issei. Akeno smiled wryly and responded, "Then, Koneko-chan and I will take Rias to the Club." "Follow me," Serafall said to Sona and her peerage. One after another, everyone is leaving the Familiar Forest. A small creature slowly appeared from the mud and looked around for a moment before manifesting itself into a human-like form. It searched for something and reached a ce where Huo Yuhao burned Siegfried into ashes. "Siegfried has died..." "We can''t recover his body and soul." The creature crumbled by itself, leaving no trace at all. "HUO YUHAO!" Cao Cao received the report and smashed his hand against the wall. "How dare you kill my friends..." "Don''t worry, Sieg... I''ll pay you back." "The Hero Faction wouldn''t leave this be." ... ... Huo Yuhao sensed the change in the Familiar Forest and smiled because the robber was brave enough to hide the beast made by Annihtion Maker under his feet. "Do you find anything about the robber?" He asked Tiamat. Tiamat''s face hardened as she replied, "No." "The robber is so slick with his tricks. The connection between the beast and the maker is so faint. I could barely track them down." "How unfortunate." Huo Yuhao returned while looking at the new scenery. BOOM! Upon arriving at the Astaroth n, an explosion greeted them with a full-blown st. "Where is that bastard, huh?" A familiar voice echoed in the ruined mansion. "Where is Diodora Astaroth? The Vatican would like to have a word with him!" A golden-haired young woman stood above the rubble. She wore saint-like clothes and a beautiful hairpiece that kept her silky hair in ce. A bright battle g released a dangerous amount of light energy, which left Grayfia and Kuroka speechless. As devils, Grayfia felt threatened. Even the reincarnated devil, Kuroka, felt the dread from the light energy. "Who is this girl?" Tiamat frowned slightly. Ophis peeked from Huo Yuhao''s back and said, "Oh, It''s just Qianye Ying''er." Yes, the person who made the Astaroth n into such a state is Qianye Ying''er. After hearing Asia''s sad backstory, she tracked Diodora Astaroth''s location and teleported to the Underworld when she discovered a secret passage on the outer church of the Vatican. There is a teleportation magic circle. Someone has made a secret path to the holy ce. Qianye Ying''er kicked the nearest devil and asked, "Where is Diodora Astaroth?" "I don''t know..." The devil responded. "Wrong answer." The blonde burned the devil into ash. If people see this, they would wonder who''s the devil. "Hmm, This scent?" Qianye Ying''er moved her gaze and saw Huo Yuhao standing a few meters away. "Yuhao~!!" She jumped down and moved too fast for someone to notice without Haki. Huo Yuhao hugged Qianye Ying''er and said, "No wonder I have not seen your message in thest few days." "That should be my words, hehe." Qianye Ying''er smiled happily. "So, who is thisdy?" She eyed Tiamat meticulously. Tiamat frowned and replied, "I''m his wife. " "..." Qianye Ying''er. "Bitch please, you don''t know how hard it was to be his wife." "iming to be one without Yuhao''s mother''s approval is a death wish." Qianye Ying''er rolled her eyes and said, "You''re not strong enough to meet the standard." "What did you say?" Tiamat was annoyed. "Fight me!" "Sure, go ahead." Qianye Ying''er responded with confidence. "I''ll wipe the floor with your face and use your horn for decoration." Tiamat doesn''t say anything and drags Qianye Ying''er away, leaving a shockwave on the ground. Huo Yuhao watched this andmented, "Do you see this? It''s one of many reasons why being a Harem Protagonist is hard." ''But you like it, you scoundrel!!'' Tian Meng yelled furiously. "Hehe~!" Huo Yuhao chuckled when hearing that. He doesn''t deny it. Chapter 131: Tiamat Vs The Cult-! I mean, The Saintess Chapter 131: Tiamat Vs The Cult-! I mean, The Saintess --- Chapter 131 --- Once upon a time. A young child was chased away by her father and watched her mother die in an incident. She survived and forged her path to a higher realm, surpassing limits beyond the world''s standard. In just seven years, she achieved a strength that tapped into the Realm of Gods. People say she was a genius, but none of these are possible without a particr person. A person who saved her from an unwanted tragedy, the person she loved the most in this world. No amount of words could describe her feelings for this person. Her Lord. Her God. Her Fiance. Her Master. "Huo Yuhao..." Qianye Ying''er breathed in and felt the atmosphere around her. She gradually looked down to the ground and saw a handsome young man with ck-framed sses. It does make him look less attractive but adds a nerdy charm that she doesn''t dislike. A saint always prays to god. However, now someone dares to steal God''s affection away. sphemous, it is. That''s why Qianye Ying''er will show the difference between a faker and a faithful follower of the religion. "Are you ready, blue lizard?" Qianye Ying''er breathed out, igniting her spirit energy up to 50%. "That should be my word, blonde bitch." Tiamat growled while manifesting a pair of leathery wings on her back. "Huh??" Tiamat blinked once and suddenly crashed on the mountain a mile away from the Astaroth n. She doesn''t even know how this happens to her. An intense sensation seared Tiamat''s right cheek with a palm mark left behind by Qianye Ying''er. "Damn..." Tiamat looked up. She saw Qianye Ying''er casually hovering in the air with two beautiful wings with golden feathers. These wings are much different than the angel wings of this world because a draconic aura faintly emitted from them. Not to mention the amethyst-colored eyes, which now have gained dragon-like pupils. These transformationsplimented the half-angel white mask on her face. "Why? Shocked?" Qianye Ying''er mocked. "Then, let''s see how you dodge this next." A literal attack with light speed approached Tiamat, chasing the Chaos Karma Dragon. And that''s just a concentrated ball of energyunched by Qianye Ying''er. BOOM! A pir of light soared to the sky. The mountain disappeared from the face of the Underworld. "That attack was a surprise, but I''ll get serious too." Tiamat sucked a cold breath and wiped the saliva on her lips. Qianye Ying''er smirked and replied, "Do your worst." BOOM! The Dragon and Saintess shed in the sky, causing a sonic boom and shing shadows. Qianye Ying''er amethyst eyes observed Tiamat and dodged every attack with ease. She could read the path of her attack and predict every iing one, allowing her to counter everything. Meanwhile, Tiamat was furious. None of her attacks ever reached this woman. Tiamat''s punches and kicks are faster than sound, but no matter how much she tries, Qianye Ying''er evades them smoothly. Qianye Ying''er is not a soft person. She delivered her counter with scary precision and dealt internal damage with the Armament Haki. She has disabled at least 2 or 3 internal organs in thest few contacts. BAM! Qianye Ying''er kicked Tiamat''s stomach and sent her down to the ground, causing web-like cracks over 500 meters. Unlike Huo Yuhao, she only has some seals. Her strength might not be on par with people like Huo Yun''er and Scathach, but Qianye Ying''er was "firmly." regarded as one of the most powerful women in the Dragon Nest. Cough! Cough! Tiamat coughed profusely and groaned, "When did such a monster appear in this world? It isn''t normal." "What''s wrong?" Qianye Ying''erzily unted her finger. "Are you tired? Why don''t you give for being on Yuhao''s side." "A small lizard-like you would only hinder Dragon Nest. We raise a dragon, not a reptile." "Hubby is the only reason I am still alive to this moment." Tiamat gritted her teeth. "I won''t give up." "My love for him is real." "Hmph, you barely know him." Qianye Ying''er sneered in disgust. Tiamat returned to her dragon form and released a piercing dragon roar that echoed everywhere. She inhaled air and magical energy, igniting them in her lungs. ROAR! A fiery breath spread over the sky and covered more than 1-kilometer square ofnd in hot temperature. It doesn''t just burn but drowns horrible things into a karmic cycle. Qianye Ying''er looked at this attack and pushed her palm forward, "My lord, here I pray. Cover the earth and heaven with your light." BOOM! A series of Spirit Rings manifested in the red sky and was "immediately." followed by a golden cube that smashed the Tiamat''s fiery breath down. The shockwave ttened thend, causing massive destruction. Thend split into seven with a crater shaped like a squire in the middle. "DON''T FUCKING LOOK DOWN ON ME!" Tiamat roared with all her might. "I''M THE CHAOS KARMA DRAGON, TIAMAT!!" CRACK! BOOM! The light cube was shattered from the bottom, revealing a half-injured Blue Western Dragon. Despite the injury, Tiamat''s face was "cheekily." stered with a smug expression. ROAR! Tiamat jumped up and rolled her body, swinging the sharp w at Qianye Ying''er. nk! "Fast." Qianye Ying''er summoned her battle g and parried the w away. "And heavier than before..." "Well, in that form, understandable." "You''re talking too much!" Tiamat''s massive figure vanished. BAM! Qianye Ying''er returned to the Astaroth n and got struck in the main castle where all pure-blooded Astaroth lived. She was surprised because Tiamat''s speed increased abruptly. Drip! Fresh blood fell from her left ear. "Haa..." Qianye Ying''er touched the warm blood and smiled because her opponent wasn''t so bad. "Brahma Soul Bell is useless in this kind of fight." "Well, the Holy Dragon Battle g is enough." She stepped out of the rubble and nced at the trembling young-looking devil. "Ah, you are..." "Diodora Astaroth." "Take your time there. I''ll be back in a few minutes." "Also, don''t run away... I have ced a holy field in this castle." Qianye Ying''er quickly shed out of the Astaroth Castle and faced Tiamat again. The Chaos Karma Dragon has never been so solemn in her entire life. Before this woman, Tiamat didn''t want to lose. "Universal Breathing Technique, 100% Spirit Circuits." Qianye Ying''er appeared with a full white mask. It''s still the same angel mask but with twisted wings spread out a few inches. Dragon scales grew under Qianye Ying''er eyes, developing on her chest to the end of her fingers. Sharp ws reformed as her entire left side dragonized. She picked the Holy Dragon Battle g and swayed it around, forming an untangled thread of lights in the sky. It kept expanding until the blinding golden shine covered everything. The devil felt searing pain just staring at this scene, so Huo Yuhao had to take this matter with his hand and formed a barrier with the Primordial Rune. "How terrifying..." Kuroka solemnlymented. "Is this the power of Darling''s homeworld?" "Still, to think such a yful-looking and flirty girl has this side." Grayfia heard Kuroka''sment and released a cold sweat, remembering her first encounter with Qianye Ying''er. At that moment, the golden-haireddy could have burned her devil''s body with this intense light energy. "She hasn''t gone all out. I could feel something is missing," Ophismented while chewing her candy. Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "All Dragon Nest members who entered this world with me are "primarily." equipped with a tool. A tool to kill a god." "It''s not a Sacred Gear, but it could act like one. It doesn''t have shy ability except granting the wielder a power beyond the mortal standard, reaching the Realm of God." "Qianye Ying''er doesn''t want to use it." " And she wouldn''t use it." "This battle, our breathing technique is more than enough." He looked at the beautifuldy shining in the sky. She looked like the incarnation of the Goddess, descending to the world. Tiamat roared and bashed her body against Qianye Ying''er, causing a booming sound. BAM! It washes everything outside of Huo Yuhao''s barrier into a hurricane. "ARRGGHHH!!" Tiamat felt a pain in her wing. "A mere lizard..." Qianye Ying''er finger dug deep into Tiamat''s flesh and lifted it above her head. The Dragon rolled over the Astaroth Castle and was thrown away like a ragdoll. The force one had to possess to lift a living dragon is insane, but Qianye Ying''er did that so casually. Is this the true power of the Universal Breathing Technique coupled with Spirit Circuits? Qianye Ying''er kicked the air and leaped toward Tiamat, clenching her hand into a fist. Her Conqueror Haki and Armament Haki melted into one, creating a unique golden color when meeting with the light element. Tiamat fought back and pped her wings. She looked at Qianye Ying''er and opened her for the second time, but now with greater firepower. She stored enough energy to st a part of the earth away. "CHAOS KARMA FLAME!" A bright blue me exploded from Tiamat''s mouth. Qianye Ying''er brushed her Holy Dragon Battle g and brandished the g to its full glory. She summoned a massive white-scaled dragon and flipped the pole in her hand. "El Cero..." A technique Qianye Ying''er learned not too long ago. Itbined her spirit skill and natural light in the atmosphere, causing a rapid reaction to the light wave. A brilliant golden wave escaped the summoned white-scaled Dragon''s mouth and crashed with Tiamat''s final attack. BOOOOOM! El Cero pushed the blue me away and swept over Tiamat''s dragon body. She couldn''t even react and got swallowed by Qianye Ying''er new attack. Tiamatnded on theke with a scorched body and fainted from the excessive damage. "Not bad. I shall take you as the new member of the cult." Qianye Ying''ermented while deactivating her transformation. She breathed out to calm her Spirit Circuits because she hadn''t reached thest stage like Scathach and Huo Yuhao. She flicked her finger and healed Tiamat''s body, "You still have a lot to learn, young follower." "Anyway, Let me handle that bastard." Qianye Ying''er moved her gaze back to the Astaroth n. Diodora shivered in fear and felt a tap on his shoulder, turning around to find Qianye Ying''er. "You''re dead, Mr. Trash." Qianye Ying''er punched him twice. Diodora would get judged by the Vatican for his wrongdoings in thest couple of years. Chapter 132: The Cult is Spreading Chapter 132: The Cult is Spreading --- Chapter 132 --- Boom! Qianye Ying''er tossed Tiamat in the backyard of the Astaroth n, leaving the dragon to heal herself. Qianye Ying''er used a Healing Spirit Skill on Tiamat a while ago, so she should be awakened sooner orter. She looked down at the Diodora Astaroth andmented, "Still, you''re hiding quite well, huh?" "I always wondered how a devil could infiltrate a ce like the Vatican so secretive. You have a connection from inside, right?" "Who is that guy?" Diodora Astaroth sweats bullets and tries to dodge Qianye Ying''er amethyst-colored eyes. Well, It''s a pointless attempt because she could see one''s soul and characteristics. "To be honest, I don''t dislike your hobby." Qianye Ying''er suddenly said while smiling a little. " Diodora Astaroth is a despicable devil. He had an extreme nun fetish. He had preyed on famous nuns and Holy maidens in several countries of the human world. He would seduce the girls with his heartwarming words to make them fall in love with him. After the nuns and maidens were "promptly." cast out by their churches, which left them devastated, he would appear and supposedly save them from the depths of their despair. Only to eventually get taken advantage of by himter on, like get ravished and mentally break them in both bodies and hearts. Diodora would then reincarnate them as his servants who vishly pledged their loyalty to him. It''s disgusting, but Qianye Ying''er doesn''t oppose his method. The only problem was Diodora''s method is forceful, so his victim doesn''t achieve true loyalty. Qianye Ying''er is different. She believed everyone should join her religion from the deepest part of their hearts, following her teaching to greatness. The happiness one could achieve is far more splendidpared to ckmailing and scamming innocent girls in the churches. Is it Fanaticism? What''s wrong with it as long as everyone is happy? Diodora instilled fears, and Qianye Ying''er passed over the hope of Huo Yuhao''s greatness. The difference is clear. "You only get some girls in so many years..." Qianye Ying''er is disappointed by Diodora''s achievement. "I conquered the whole Vatican in just a few weeks. We are not the same." Diodora felt something pierce his chest and saw a spear made of light burning his skin. He wanted to winch in pain, but Qianye Ying''er immediately shoved paper with a silence rune on it. "Be a good boy and wait for your punishment." She flicked her finger and teleported Diodora to the Vatican, specifically her torture dungeon. It would be one hell of an experience for Diodora. Vatican, Secret Dungeon. Diodora arrived inside a prison cell and was "suddenly." weed by a bright-coloredmp. He hissed because themp contained a holy element, radiating so much light that even a pure-blooded devil like him couldn''t handle it. Tap! A small step suddenly appeared in the room. It was a familiar-looking nun with a ck robe and white shawl around her neck. "A-Asia?" Diodora gulped his saliva nervously. "Hmm, you know me?" Asia responded with a confused expression. "Ah, you''re the devil I healed out of pure kindness in the past. You''re also the cause of why everyone pointed their fingers at me for being a sinful creature." "Poor me, I cried my eyes out, but none reached their hands to me." "Until I met the saintess, that''s it." Asia Argento is a poor girl who lives based on blind fate to her lord. It was shocking when Qianye Ying''er told her the Biblical God had passed away and left the throne of heaven for so long. Fortunately, she has a new idol to pray for now. "I''m not doing this for revenge." Asia put on fingerless gloves. "Since the Saintess sent you here, it means you had a confession to doter on in the judgment hall. Diodora Astaroth, bear the pain." Her green eyes shone viciously inside this dungeon. "Twilight Healing: Bnce Breaker..." "Myriad Healing Touches." "N-No! Don''te closer!" Diodora felt the ominous sensationing from Asia''s hands. "ARRRGGGHHH!!" ... ... Qianye Ying''er wiped her hands clean and returned to Huo Yuhao''s side, watching the young man with gleaming eyes. She lifted his sses slightly and smiled in amusement. "I only saw you in these sses for a moment before returning to the Vatican when Kokabiel attacked the academy called Kuoh or something. It doesn''t look bad at all." Shemented with a giggle. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Right? It''s just for the aesthetic." Qianye Ying''er is flirting with Huo Yuhao in broad daylight, leaving threedies in a bad mood. Yet, after seeing her fight with Tiamat, they don''t have much of a word orint. She gave them a smug look and said, "Don''t be too sour. You have a lot of chances to be on Huo Yuhao''s side. I''m not the final judge of your rtionship, but it doesn''t mean you are free to do anything." Ophis tilted her head and stood before Qianye Ying''er. She stretched her little hand and said, "Candy Tax." "..." Grayfia. "..." Kuroka. Even Qianye Ying''er was surprised by Ophis''s sudden statement. She briefly scanned the little girl from top to bottom and realized something unusual. "I see..." Her amethyst-colored eyes witnessed Ophis''s pure soul. It''s docile with mainly three desires. ''Dimensional Gap(Home), Food(Candy), and Huo Yuhao(affection).'' She patted Ophis''s head gently. It''s the first time they meet because she has been quite busy since Kokabiel''s incident. She looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Where did you find this adorable creature, Yuhao?" Qianye Ying''er fed Ophis some pills in her spatial storage and hugged the ouroboros dragon tightly. Even though Ophis couldn''t beat Huo Yuhao''s cuteness six years ago, she would be in the second spot immediately for being so fucking adorable. The Ouroboros Dragon doesn''t mind the sudden hugs and enjoys her candy like any day. "It''s alright. Huo Yuhao''s candy is better." She said while ncing at Qianye Ying''er. Qianye Ying''er smirked faintly and whispered, ''Eh, but Huo Yuhao is the one who made those candies, though.'' Ophis was shocked inside. The Ouroboros Dragon immediately took her words back and said, "This candy is not bad. I can taste the sweet herbs used on it." However, it makes Ophis wonder, Why do candies given by Huo Yuhao seem tastier? They were also more enjoyable andsted longer in her mouth, making her want to savor the taste more than any food she had beforehand in this world. What makes it so different? "My job is over here, but I''ll stay on Huo Yuhao''s side for a while. Noints, right?" Qianye Ying''er questioned, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a karate chop on the head. Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "Stop teasing them." "You''re inheriting Shishou''s bully nature more recently." "Hehe~!" Qianye Ying''er yfully winked her eyes and stuck out her tongue. And just like that, three days passed. Astaroth n has been restored, with a branch family member taking over it. Huo Yuhao granted the new leader Astaroth''s pure blood and gave her the order to chase over all corrupted n members that weren''t detected previously by the new council. It''s a quick way to have a loyal subordinate. Still, Huo Yuhao was surprised by others'' development, with Qianye Ying''er spreading her teaching to otherdies in themunity. In just two freaking days, 1.000 to 10.000 members joined in without stopping. You might think Tiamat would get mad after getting defeated by Qianye Ying''er. No, they be such a best friend because the Chaos Karma Dragon has the same interest as the golden-haired maniptor. Even Venna and Mi joined Qianye Ying''er growing group, learning a lot from her. "Aren''t you going to join them, Fia?" Huo Yuhao asked while drinking lemon tea. He gazed at the small garden, where severaldies were talking with Qianye Ying''er excitedly. Grayfia shook her head and replied, "I''m on duty, Yuhao-sama. Your priority is above mine." Huo Yuhao wryly smiled inside because Grayfia was rather stiff for her desire. It''s Grayfia''s charming point, but she should have taken more breather. Changing the topic, Grayfia coughed and asked, "About your n, when will we attack the Realm of Death, Yuhao-sama?" "Well, I''m still waiting for the response. Since I have taken over the devil and more than half of the Underworld, Hades should have reacted more actively." Huo Yuhao responded calmly. "God is a petty and arrogant being, Fia." "Only some are smart enough to hide them." "I already ced the hook and bait, waiting for Hades to take it." Huo Yuhao sighed and watched Kuroka write a note while listening to Qianye Ying''er. "Sooner orter, Hades will catch on me." Hemented lightly. "Prepare yourself, Fia." "Mm." Grayfia nodded solemnly. Huo Yuhao scrolled through his inventory and checked the items one by one. [Junge Dungeon Key(1)] [Treasure Box(2)] [Random Summoning Card(1)] [Hero Summoning Card(1)] "Hmm, maybe I should start upgrading and using these items." Huo Yuhao wondered while pondering about something. "Hero Summoning Card and Random Summoning Card, what kind of person will I summon this time? Shishou was a great help at the time, and Dragon Nest wouldn''t grow this big without her mastery over Primordial Rune." "Oh well, only one way to find out." Huo Yuhao pulled out the Hero Summoning Card from the inventory. Chapter 133: Minamoto no Raikou Chapter 133: Minamoto no Raikou --- Chapter 133 --- "Hero Summoning Card." "It''s been almost four years since I got one of these." Huo Yuhao pulled a golden-stripped card from his inventory and observed the detail briefly. It just looks like one slightly thick golden-printed dor at first nce. Of course, with double SS to show its grade. Since the "Hero Summoning Card." only affected the area of 100 meters square with him as the center, the possible Hero would get limited in a way. And eliminating a Hero that doesn''t have a suitable vessel. Just like Scathach in the past. Her new vessel is literally in the room below Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao expanded his Observation Haki past the floating ind he made and scanned every area within 100 meters radius. He nodded and told Evo to start the process. [Do you want to use the Hero Summoning Card?] [Yes/No] "Yes." He smiled amusingly. [Breaching the Throne of Heroes'' Barrier] [Stabilizing the path] [Host, please say something] Evomented monotonously. Huo Yuhao cleared his throat and said, "Anyone... You might remember me from the past, but here I am again. I''m here to give you another chance to live in another world." "Please respond to my voice if you are interested." "Ah, we also have cookies here." He picked a cookie off the te, which Grayfia baked for him. Speaking of Grayfia, she was doing an errand in the kitchen to make a smoothie. She would return shortly after. Huo Yuhao watched a crowd of ck clouds gathering above the floating ind. He frowned slightly and watched purple lightning dancing in the sky, forming an ox-like symbol. BOOM! The purple lightning struck the mountain below Huo Yuhao''s floating ind. He was surprised because the lightning didn''t hit a humanoid living being, with Scathach being an example, but hit an ox-like creature or maybe a devil cow raised in the Underworld. [A small error detected] [Ushi Gozen/Minamoto no Raikou couldn''t find the most suitable living vessel beside the demonic beast] [Altering the Demonic Beast''s nature] [1 Gold Upgrading Ticket used in advance] [Processing...] "Oy, At least ask my permission first!" Huo Yuhao was speechless. Evo has never done something like this before. [Demonic Calf upgraded to "Ushi Oni of the Underworld." race] [Minamoto no Raikou Synchronized with "Ushi Oni of the Underworld." Race] [Excessive Nurture of Heavenly Dam and Corrupted Divinity of Lightning has added into her origin source] The demonic cow grew bigger quickly under the Gold Upgrading Ticket''s influence. It rivaled even the biggest mammal onnd in terms of sheer size. There is also a faint shade of purple on its fur. ''Haa, this reminded me of Liu Mei.'' Huo Yuhao thought while watching the cow glow in a faint blue light. He could sense Spirit Energy sucked into the beast''s body. In the blink of an eye, something unexpected happened. No, Huo Yuhao has already expected it. However, it still caught him off guard. An elegant, virtuous, and morous woman in the prime of her youth appeared before Huo Yuhao. It''s also a beautiful woman overflowing with tolerance. Surely the personification of maternal love. Simply put, A MILF. Yes, with all capitals. Raikou has beautiful eyes and long dark purple hair, which she ties at the very end. She also appears to wear atex bodysuit with a cloth draped over her enormous chest. This cloth has a heart-shaped insignia linked to her cor. A simr fabric was "actually." found over her crotch, tied by a rope around her waist. Raikou possesses light armor like tight gauntlets and grieves, elbow and knee-length. Her weapon(Katana) was "firmly." seen sheathed behind her well-endowed ass, connected to her by another sort of rope. A quiver holding a set of arrows joined by her right hip, leaving only her back for storing an old-fashioned Japanese longbow. ''Is it even legal to have such a body??'' Bing Di was jealous because this woman possessed a better body than her. She is more than 100.000 years old, but none of her parts areparable to Raikou. Even Eluxia, who never felt such a thing as jealousy, felt defeated when she saw the person Huo Yuhao summoned from another world. Minamoto no Raikou barely exposed her skin, but why does it look more obscene? ''Smash!'' Tian Meng suddenly said. ''What!'' Bing Di frowned at the Skydream Ice Worm. ''What did you say?'' Tian Meng cluelessly tilted her head and replied, ''What?'' ''I didn''t say anything.'' They stared at each other for a hot minute, leaving Eluxia alone with her confused gaze toward Minamoto no Raikou''s body. Meanwhile, Minamoto no Raikou looked around and focused on a blue-haired young man with ck-framed sses. This person is the one who called over the heroic spirits in the Throne of Heroes a moment ago. "Are you my master~?" She couldn''t help but let out a motherly smile. [Milf Hunter activated] [Lucky Bastard activated] [Harem Protagonist activated] "This is not the Holy Grail War, Raikou-san." Huo Yuhao responded to her question. He was somewhat overwhelmed when three more notifications appeared above Raikou''s head. "There is no such a thing as Master and Servant in this world. No, there is something simr, but it has nothing to do with your former world." Raikou covered her mouth coyly and returned, "Oh my~! You even knew my name? What a surprise." "I see... So, in a way, this is another world??" Huo Yuhao nodded and answered, "Yes." "This is the world of Draconic Deus. It''s a supernatural world where even gods still live inside it. And this world is not my homeworld because I''m here to conquer it." "Eh?" Raikou was startled when hearing that. Huo Yuhao slowly exined everything to Minamoto no Raikou, with some exceptions, like how she could get transported to this world. That''s apany''s secret. After 5 minutes of brief exnation, Minamoto no Raikou blinked her eyes a few times. She looked around and saw several mountain ranges and thick forests. "Fufu~! What a wonderful world." She giggled while moving her gaze back to Huo Yuhao. "So what should I call you, Master?" "Yuhao is enough." Huo Yuhao smiled weakly. "No, that''s too simple." Raikou pouted and hurriedly grasped his hand. "What about Sweetheart? Honey? My Boy?" Facing the relentless questions, Huo Yuhao lifted his hand in defeat and told her anything was okay. Raikou smiled happily and hugged him with all her might. "Then, I''ll call you honey from now on~!" She excitedly dered, leaving the contracted souls of Huo Yuhao silent. [You have added Minamoto no Raikou as your subordinate] [Showing the potential page] [Name: Minamoto no Raikou/Ushi Gozen] [Age: ???] [Potential: SSS] [Rmended Paths: Heavenly General, Grand Berserker, The Nurturer of Boundless Emperor, The Mother Cow, Alter Lancer, Dragon Nest''s Eternal General, Huo Yuhao''s concubine, Huo Yuhao''s wife] ''Nevermind.'' Huo Yuhao sighed when reading the Rmended Paths. He nced over at Minamoto no Raikou, who moved around the field with a curious expression on her beautiful face. He pulled another Summoning Card, but this time. It''s random. [Random Summoning Card] [It functions like a Hero Summoning Card, but the individual summoned by this card was "likely." spawned from the endless omniverse. The individuals also don''t have to enter new vessels because they could be alive when summoned] [Do you want to use the Random Summoning Card?] [Yes/No] "Raikou-san, how was it? Does your new body feel nice and merge well with your soul?" He called over the newpanions from Nasuverse. A world where "Can it be a waifu." is a thing. Raikou nodded and replied, "Even though I lost some of my powers, they would return to me eventually. I also felt somewhat stronger than before because I don''t have to rely on someone''s mana." "I have never felt so free than this." She added while flowing Spirit Energy in her body. This new force felt stronger than mana. "Good." Huo Yuhao was expecting a surprised face from Scathach when they returned to Dragon Nest''s Compound. As fellow servants, Shishou and Raikou should have a harmonious rtionship, no? He looked at the Random Summoning Card and pressed Yes confidently, hoping the summoned individual wasn''t from aplicated world. [Using Random Summoning Card] [Connecting to the Source of Omniversal Order...] [Stealth Mode activated] A blinking white light appeared from the Random Summoning Card, and Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes slightly. He watched a portal to another world materialized and showed a scene of a ck-haired woman getting chased by a group of people. "Ah, this woman..." Huo Yuhao gazed into the portal. "Nico Robin." Huo Yuhao didn''t realize the bewildered gazes from hispanions as he had just done something ridiculous. ''This gate is warping Space and Time, but how is that even possible without calcting the course? It''s not light-based nor sorcery.'' Eluxia thought to herself. Raikou was impressed and mumbled, "Honey, you''re so amazing~." [You have triggered a Quest] [Name: Save Nico Robin] [Objective: Defeat Borsalino/Kizaru(0/1)] [Penalty: Summoning will get dismissed] [Reward: 5 Silver Upgrading Ticket and Seed of Concept Fruit(x5)] [Time Limit: One Hour] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao answered before Evo even questioned him. "Raikou-san, can you show me some tricks? I have a good ce for me to see your worth." "Oh? Sure~!" Raikou answered without any hesitation. Huo Yuhao pulled the legendary Milf Warrior of the past into the portal and said, "Let''s go to One Piece!" Chapter 134: Saving Nico Robin (1/2) Chapter 134: Saving Nico Robin (1/2) --- Chapter 134 --- Three months after the Marineford War. Portgas D. Ace, the Fire Fist. Or now what people of the world have known as Gol D. Ace got executed by Admiral Akainu, Sakazuki. This event even led to many surprises, such as the revtion that the Marine Hero Garp is the Revolutionary Leader''s Father and Straw Hat''s Grandfather. One of the famous names also died in this battle. Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, tragically passed away after an intense battle against the powerful marines and his former son/subordinate ckbeard, which was "quickly." followed by Red Hair Pirate''s interference to stop the war. The world is too stunned to speak literally. Even after three months, the news didn''t calm down whatsoever. ... ... Marineford, Fleet Admiral''s office. "Biri~ Biri~!" "Yes, Sengoku here." A man picked up his Den Den Mushi. "What? Is it true??" "I see... I''ll send Kizaru there." Crunch! A middle-aged man sat not far away from Sengoku. He was eating senbei(rice crackers) and enjoying his time in this office, staring at the ceiling mindlessly. "Get out of my office, Garp. You have your job outside." Sengoku sighed while sitting in his seat. After the Marineford War, he was "greatly." injured after shing with Whitebeard but still had to do his job nheless. Meanwhile, Garp is getting his left arm sprained with some cracked bones. Though, he doesn''t appear to be so injured. "I don''t wanna! Lazing around like this is always the best. Also, my left arm hasn''t healedpletely." Garp grinned, which caused Sengoku''s mouth to twitch in annoyance. Sengoku frowned andmented, "That''s an excuse." "Bahahaha~! You can tell, but my left arm hurts as hell. Ahh, if you forced me into work or a mission, I couldn''t use it properly in the future!" Garpughed while releasing a painful groan, which was obviously fake. Sengoku rolled his eyes and said, "Nevermind, get that old bone of yours recovered." Garp shrugged his left arm casually and asked, "So, why did you dispatch Kizaru? It''s not so simple, right?" Sengoku nced over the window near him and recalled his brief conversation with people from East Blue''s branch, specifically Tequ Wolf. The people there spotted the Devil Child(Akuma no Ko), Nico Robin. Even though Tequ Wolf is somewhat outside of Marine''s jurisdiction, Sengoku could still send people there to monitor if big-named criminals try to hide from the world. It was an unpleasant area where ves and criminals were "actually." sent to manualbor and repent for their mistakes, ording to the World Government. "Tequ Wolf..." Grap''s face ckened slightly. "That ce is..." Sengoku felt the gentle breeze through the window and returned, "I know, Garp. Don''t even make me respond to the same things for years." As the legendary figures of the Marine talked to each other, a piercing golden light traveled quickly on the horizon. It''s Kizaru, who just received a Den Den Mushi massage from Sengoku. "Hmm... Why was the Devil Child at Tequ Wolf out of all ces?" Kizaru pondered in confusion. After all, the Straw Hat and his crewmates have gained attentiontely, but hiding in Tequ Wolf is either a genius or a dumb decision. "Oh, almost there." He tilted his head and saw a massive yet long bridge spanning the cold sea. Kizarunded on the bridge and walked around, experiencing gazes from the ves here. He ignored them and searched over the prison chief, who governed this ce. Just a momentter, a man in thick clothes and a trapper hat walked over the snow to approach Kizaru. "Ah, Kizaru-dono. What can I do for you?" He questioned with a small smile. It''s barely visible. Kizaru didn''t mind the smile and responded, "Three months ago, have you noticed a suspicious prisoner who appeared to be a woman in herte twenties? She has ck hair and slightly tanned skin." Even with Observation Haki, it would be hard for Kizaru to spot a specific person in this crowd of prisoners. The prison chief wondered briefly, calling over someone to fetch a document. "Please wait for a moment, Admiral." He said while offering Kizaru afortable ce to talk. Kizaru agreed to follow the prison chief andmented, "This ce is quite cold, eh?" Not far away from the conversing Admiral and prison chief, a woman in a prisoner outfit is moving out with scraps on her little shoulder. She heard the conversation and frowned because the Marine knew her location faster than expected. Someone is being a snitch here, but who? Nico Robin is a ck-haired woman in herte twenties who wears a single-piece blue prison jumpsuit. However, herplexion has lightened over the past three months because of the cold weather in the Tequ Wolf. ''What should I do?'' Robin thought while scanning around the area with her blue eyes. She could have used her Devil Fruit''s power, but that will expose her even faster.b With a n in her mind, Robin brought the scraps to the recycle zone and spotted a familiar-looking child with a female prisoner. She stopped and hid in the alley, hearing the talk between the two. "Soran, can you tell me more about this woman called Robin? You found her in the snow, right?" The female prisoner asked calmly. "I''ll give you chocte candy if you tell me more about her." Soran smiled and answered, "Sure." ''That woman, huh?'' Robin sighed because Soran, the young girl who was never out of this damned ce, is very naive about maniption. She can''t possibly me the child for telling her information to others. Meanwhile, at the prison chief''s ce, Kizaru received a book about the prisoner who recently joined the Tequ Wolf. The Admiral flipped through the page and noticed a ck-haired woman. "Bingo~!" Kizaru smiled in amusement. "Spread your men to the city and notify me when someone notices her presence." The prison chief nodded and replied, "Right away, Admiral!" Just like that, over a hundred wardens are "instantly." sent to search for a woman called Nico Robin. To be fair. It''s not hard to find her because the female-concentrated camp got separated from the men''s one. And Robin is not very stealthy with her appearance. White snow and prison jumpsuits are hard to blend, even with shady weather like this in Tequ Wolf. Well, she doesn''t have much choice in this situation. Ten minutester. "There is she!" "There is Nico Robin!" "Chase her!!" Robin ran from the alley and used her devil fruit''s power to snap her chaser''s legs. Robin has be softer after bing the Straw Hat''s pirate. In the past, she wouldn''t hesitate to break someone''s back and neck, killing them mercilessly. "ARGHH!" A row of painful groans in the area, but Robin didn''t even bat an eye. "There you are!" A voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Robin raised her arms to guard, but it was toote because a fast attack struck her stomach. BAM! Like a cannonball, Robin flew several meters away and even broke some houses. They were "firmly." built with wood and scraps from bridge construction, so the impact still makes her grit her teeth in pain. "To have Admiral Kizaru himself chasing me to this remote ce. What an honor." Robin coughed a few times, smiling with blood drips from her lips. "Let me guess... You received a call from someone?" "Oh?" Kizaru furrowed his brow. "No, not really. I''m here to check the source, but you are actually here. My quick trip isn''t wasted, hehe." Robinughed and said, "You''re lucky then." "I am." The Admiral returned casually. "It ends here, Devil Child." A wave of light flew past the snow and approached Robin at an rming rate. She could only trust her instinct in this matter. "Thirty Flowers: Marigold!" Robin created a copy of her arms, creating a shield formation to deflect or maybe defend against Kizaru''s attack. It was pointless because she didn''t have Armament Haki to resist the light wave. BOOM! Robin grunted in pain and created another batch of legs to wrap around Kizaru''s legs, hoping it would stall him for a moment. She used her devil fruit''s power and disappeared from Kizaru''s view. Flower petals scattered everywhere, leaving only a patch of blood where Robin had created her shield. "Haha, Rat." He chuckled while jumping to the sky. He could see Robin desperately running away from him. He flicked his fingers, sendingser beams toward Robin. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Robin dodged skillfully and went toplex paths with a roof above, limiting Kizaru''s sight on her. He might be able to use Observation Haki, but there should be a limit. She breathed heavily and mumbled, "My injuries are worse than I imagined. Kizaru damages not only the majority of my left ribs but also my right arm." "I can''t escape smoothly..." Robin stopped inside a factory to melt scraps and new-brought steel from outside, finding Soran on the corner too. "What are you doing here, Soran?" She was rmed and panicked. Soran tilted her head and answered, "Um, I''m ying hide and seek with big sister olive." "That woman..." Robin was speechless. Olive is probably away from this ce and reported everything to someone rted to the outside world. It is not good. Even Nami, one of her crewmates, wasn''t this cruel. "Yata no Kagami." A blinding light reflected from a t mirror inside the factory, causing Robin''s eyes to widen in shock because the attack covered Soran and her. "100 Flowers: Vajra''s Mask." Robin lunged toward Soran and hugged the child tightly. One hundred arms formed behind her and merged into a mask-like shield. BOOM! Her skin was burning from the extreme light, searing like hot flesh under the sun. "R-Robin, are you okay?" Soran blinked her eyes. Robin forced a smile and replied, "Yes, Soran. I''m alright." "Aih, what trouble. Did you shield a prisoner with your body? Is this your goodwill, Devil Child: Nico Robin?" Kizaru walked into the factory like it was Saturday morning. "Don''t worry. I wouldn''t kill you here. After all, I got instructed to catch you alive." They are staring at each other. Robin is solemn, while Kizaru is very casual about everything. He even has a bored look stered on his face. "What is this? Bullying ady and a child is not gentleman-like, you know." An unknown voice suddenly appeared. Kizaru was rmed because he couldn''t feel this person''s presence as a blue-haired young man appeared from the shadows. He squinted his eyes and felt something weird. His instinct told him to retreat for some reason. "Hmm, who are you?" Kizaru frowned slightly. Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "Jack Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow." "Huh??" Everyone was confused because they had never heard such a name. Even the contracted souls inside Huo Yuhao were speechless when hearing a random ass namee from this shameless young man''s mouth. ''Oy, Oy. Who is this Jack Sparrow you were talking about, huh? You have too many secret identities at this point, young man!'' Tian Mengined while picking up popcorn. Bing Di stole the popcorn and shouted, ''Is this guy powerful, Yuhao? Not this funny guy in a yellow suit-! I mean the Jack Sparrow Guy.'' ''Captain Jack Sparrow.'' Eluxia pressed the name for Bing Di. ''Also, this funny-looking clown somehow has the power of Light Concept within his body. It has something to do with foreign will inside his soul.'' Huo Yuhao ignored the contracted souls and added, "What''s the matter? Never heard my name?" "What..." Kizaru was confused even more. "Walk away, Kid. I''ll forget your confusing acts just now." "Damn, the PPAP guy just called me Kid." Huo Yuhao cursed in this situation. "Anyway, I don''t wanna, old man." "This woman is my priority whening here." "Well, You''re dying now!!!" Kizaru moved so fast and appeared before Huo Yuhao, lifting his leg and imbuing it with light. He kicked the blue-haired young man quickly. SWOOSH! Huo Yuhao yawned and ced his palm down, covering it with Armament Haki. POOF! The attack was pletely." nullified. And the force behind the kick got erased by Huo Yuhao''s palm. Huo Yuhao''s shoe moved a little as he transferred the wave into the ground below him. It''s the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves'' basic technique, which absorbs and redirects. Huo Yuhao struck Kizaru''s stomach with his palm and said, "Ripple: Chapter Two." "Small Tsunami." The wave within Huo Yuhao swirled rapidly and flowed into his palm, sending a powerful shockwave that blew Kizaru away to the factory''s wall and the sky. The icy clouds parted, revealing sunlight for the first time in seven hundred years. A massive palm-like hole appeared on the factory''s wall, causing sizzling iron noise. BOOM! "Well, he''s quite durable. My current 10% isn''t enough." Huo Yuhaomented while turning around. Robin is watching him in awe. She observed the blue-haired young man before her with an amazed gaze. His otherworldly appearance and royal blue eyes are just too bizarre. No, she meant beautiful. "Eat this." Huo Yuhao gently fed her with Senzu Bean. "It will recover your injury." "W-We have to run!" Robin swallowed the Senzu Bean. Instead of checking her healed arms, she told Huo Yuhao to run. "He wille back in a second!" "Hah, He wouldn''te back." Huo Yuhao chuckled wryly. "Mypanion is waiting for him outside." "Yourpanion??" Robin noticed a buxomdy in a somewhat lewd outfit standing outside the factory. ... Cough! "Damn!" "That hurts." Kizaru choked on air and clutched his stomach, feeling his entire body shaken by the unknown young man''s attack. Who is this guy? He looked down and saw a purple-haired woman in a weird-looking outfit waiting for him with her sword. He descended to the ground and faced the unknown woman. "Are you hispanion?" He questioned while charging his attack. "Oh my~! C-Companion? I-I don''t think we are at such a stage yet, but I don''t dislike it~!" Raikou blushed while rubbing her warm cheeks. "Hmph! Don''t think because your small praise to me will save your demise." "This servant shall prove its worthiness to my honey~!" Raikou pouted adorably while pointing her katana at Kizaru. This fight will be one of the most shocking news after the Marineford War, The appearance of two demons. Chapter 135: Saving Nico Robin (2/2) Chapter 135: Saving Nico Robin (2/2) --- Chapter 135 --- Minamoto no Raikou is the heaven-sent child of Gozu Tennou, allowing her to wield divinity and authority over lightning. Facing an opponent that literally turned himself into light makes her slightly excited. She has yed countless mysteries from her living era, but this person before her piqued her interest again. In the end, epting Huo Yuhao''s offer to join his side isn''t a horrible decision. "Huh..." Kizaru was speechless. This woman acts all mighty without showing her presence or aura like the blue-haired young man. Something is weird about these people. Weirdly, Kizaru couldn''t gauge their strengths for some reason, with the blue-haired young man being so annoying. He hissed inside because the weird palm strike still hurt. Raikou pulled out her katana from the sheath and said, "Be ready." "That weapon... How dangerous." Kizaru felt a shiver in his spine. BOOM! Inside the half-destroyed factory, Nico Robin''s eyes widened in shock because the lewd-looking woman actually fought on equal ground with the famous Admiral Kizaru. She doesn''t even show a sign of nervousness when dodging those light beams. ''What kind of reflex does she possess to dodge light?'' Robin thought to herself for a moment. Even though Robin has trained her observation skill since the tender age of 8, the fight is still hard to view for her. She could only see some sparks and shadows under the falling snow. "Do you want to see the fight?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile. "I have a convenient ability that would help you." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes glowed dimly, sharing the spiritual vision with Robin. She was startled because a totally new world seemed to expand instantly, and much information flooded her mind. Spiritual Sharing is one of the abilities Huo Yuhao obtained when forming a contract with Tian Meng. It shares what he experiences through the spirit''s eyes, allowing someone to witness a whole new realm above mortal standards. Everything within a 10 kilometers radius appeared so detailed in Huo Yuhao''s vision. Even the fast-paced fight between Minamoto no Raikou and Admiral Kizaru couldn''t escape his eyes. "Amazing..." Robin mumbled in amazement. Admiral Kizaru traveled at the speed of light and tried to pressure Raikou with his speed, but the purple-haired woman casually parried and countered his every attempt. Her katana is durable, despite not using Haki against one of the strongest Admirals. Yet, one small detail caught Robin''s attention. When the two powerhouses exchanged a blow on each other, Kizaru gained cuts all over his light-elemental body. "How is that even possible? She didn''t even use her Haki." "Logia Fruit user is invincible against someone without mastery over Armament Haki, but one sh from her injured Admiral Kizaru??" "Pfft." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh when hearing that. There is no such thing as invincible in this world, and Haki is just a manifestation of one''s will. Minamoto no Raikou is a famous warrior who has fought and yed countless demons with her sword. She hasn''t learned Haki, but every attack executed by her is imbued with a powerful willpower to win. nk! BOOM! Raikou kicked the roof and smashed Kizaru''s face with her fist. She aligned her katana and said, "Heavenly Ox''s Crush." Kizaru formed a light-concentrated shield and watched a bull made of purple lightning charging toward him. He couldn''t dodge because the distance between them was merely 30 centimeters. BAM! "How annoying." Kizaru clicked his tongue in annoyance. Raikou pushed her entire body and struck Kizaru like a mad bull, having the Admiral crash into the ground. "Raikou-san, we have a limited time here. Can you finish him faster?" Huo Yuhaomented casually from the factory, leaving Robin and Kizaru speechless. With a motherly smile, Raikou turned around and replied, "Hai, Honey~!" "Huh?" Kizaru felt something dangerous awakening before his eyes. The previously purple-haired woman got reced with a raging beast that could destroy the world. The admiral blinked just once. And He suddenlynded on the edge of the bridge with a dislocated shoulder. CougH! "What happened?" He covered his mouth and saw blood covering his hand. Mad Enhancement is a skill that every Berserker possesses inherently. Still, in Minamoto no Raikou''s case, she doesn''t lose in madness but enhances her maternal love for her master. She would do anything beyond the moral standard to satisfy her child(master). In this state, her strength is insane. Huo Yuhao could only smile when seeing this because his titles helped him summon Minamoto no Raikou. He''s a Lucky Bastard with Ex-Ranked Luck and Milf Hunter. "And she hasn''t fully awakened her potential." He was amused as Scathach doesn''t instantly be an adult like Raikou. It''s probably because Raikou''s vessel is an upgraded version of Demonic Calf. A lightning sh sliced through the snow, and Kizaru''s instinct jumped into action to survive. He covered his whole body with Armament Haki and dodged an iing attack. BOOM! An energy sh and purple lighting sliced the ocean near Tequ Wolf into two, leaving a static wave that made the thunderstorm. CRACKLE! BOOM! Kizaru had never experienced something like this in his entire life. Even when facing "the Strongest Man in the world." Edward Newgate, or what people know as Whitebeard, Kizaru could still handle it somehow. "Shit!" He cursed while releasing all his strength. "YASAKANI NO MAGATAMA!" Blinding yellow light escaped Kizaru''s body,unching several orb-filled with destruction to face Raikou. It is one of his strongest attacks, which should be able to give him a moment to breathe. "Biri~! Biri~!" Kizaru pulled out his Den Den Mushi and secured the distance between him and the beast-like woman. "Sengoku, I don''t have much time here." He didn''t even wait for the other side to respond. "I. No, a new trouble has arrived on the sea." "The mission failed. Two individuals appeared out of nowhere and saved Nico Robin." "First, a blue-haired young man named Jack Sparrow." "And the other is a woman in Wano-based clothes. Their identities are currently unknown because I have never heard of them." "Send a backup, quickly!" Kizaru dodged a punch from Raikou and felt the wind blow in his ear. He breathed in and assessed the situation, having a hard time because the injuries from the Marineford War worsened with the new ones from this woman. "HAAA!" Raikou let out a war cry, clenching her left hand. "This is bad..." Kizaru''s mouth twitched slightly. He left with no choice and released a massive energy beam from his right hand, creating all three attacks to even out Raikou''s attack. "Three Sacred Treasures." Mirror, Sword, and Jewels appeared from the beam and shed with Raikou''s punch. BOOM! Raikou frowned and hissed because her right hand was "temporarily." crippled from that attack. Thebined attack of Kizaru possessed something that her Demonic Calf''s innate nature hates, refined light. Still, Kizaru isn''t in a better position. Raikou might cripple her hand, but the yellow-suited admiral lost his entire right arm. "He ran away with a tail between his legs..." Raikou mumbled while shaking her body in difort. She observed the sky and noticed the yellow light escaped this ce. "That man knew hisst attack would stun me for a moment." "No, he didn''t." Huo Yuhaomented while creating a bow from Eas. He pulled the bowstring quickly and prepared tounch one attack to finish Kizaru, adding his Haki and the Concept of Nullification into an arrow made of Darkness. SWOOSH! Huo Yuhao released his finger and watched a spear-like arrow flying past the horizon, creating a screeching sound. He smiled and told Skye to bring a banana when Kizaru was dying. Huo Yuhao doesn''t have a problem with Kizaru, but the yellow-suited admiral has to die. Robin wouldn''t return to this world for a while, so he must warn the group who chased her. [30 minutes left before the System returns Host and hispanions to Draconic Deus] Kizaru left as quickly as he could, ignoring the pain of losing his limb. His Observation Haki was alerted because the danger was approaching him. "Just a little bit more..." He could see the Marine''s Branch a few kilometers away. Even with his light speed, everything appeared to be slower. BAM! A spear-like arrow struck Kizaru straight in the chest, making him cough blood profusely. He couldn''t use his Logia''s power for some reason and fell into the ocean. "There is no way-! Ssh! Skye hovered in the sky by pping his wing and watched the banana his liege told to bring changes color into gold-like, having weird patterns all over it. ''Should I bring this back to my liege?'' He noticed a corpse floating in the ocean. Then, Huo Yuhao''s voice entered the shadow general''s mind. ''Let the corpse be, Skye. I detect no oceanic beast within 100 kilometers. His corpse will be my message toward the Marine and World Government.'' ''Return to my side immediately.'' "Right away, my liege." The shadowy dragon pped his wings and blew the sky away, returning to the Tequ Wolf. ... ... "Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao descended from the sky with a worried smile. Raikou was embarrassed and returned, "I-I''m okay, honey." Huo Yuhao sighed and grabbed Raikou''s right hand, checking it for a moment before giving the purple-haired Berserker a senzu bean. He also checked her forehead because the Mad Enhancement might increase her body temperature excessively. "F-Fweh!" Raikou blushed because of Huo Yuhao''s sudden action. Robin approached them warily and asked, "Just who are you two?" "I''m here to rescue and bring you to my world. You are "randomly." chosen to be my subordinate. Quite lucky, I had to say." Huo Yuhao answered casually. He is toozy to exin everything, so Robin receives information about Dragon Nest and his goal. The young archaeologist was speechless because another world exists out there. Robin hasn''t uncovered this world''s secret, and a new one ising to her face. "Is it hard to swallow?" He chuckled yfully. Robin smiled in defeat and replied, "It is hard to swallow, Sir Jack." "Ah, my real name is Huo Yuhao. Jack Sparrow is just someone''s name I knew in the past." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently. "Anyway, are you going to follow me, Robin?" "I know you have a pirate crew and others to follow, but it doesn''t matter to me. I offered you to join Dragon Nest and return to this world when you are strong enough." "You still have two years before meeting with your friends, no?" "How did you even know about that?" Robin sighed weakly. "Can I think about it first?" Her hesitation somewhat amuses Huo Yuhao, but he doesn''t have much time. "You have 20 minutes." Huo Yuhao replied while disappearing with Raikou. ... ... Huo Yuhao hovered above the cloud and expanded his lesser Divine Sense to the world. He could feel everything around this globe and noticed nothing existed outside this. Only the Sun, Moon, and some stars surrounded this. Beyond that, there is only dark space. "This ce is like a prison." Huo Yuhaomented while searching for something interesting. He scanned the world and saw a small ind hidden from all ces, covering his mouth. "This ind is Laugh Tales?" He created a wormhole and stepped onto the ind. This ce is nothing special, having some cliffs and trees on it. Huo Yuhao walked into the ind''s center and saw a treasure chest with a pointer made of unknown wood. The wood has "This is one piece." written on it. He shrugged and opened the treasure box. A piece of paper. Yes, just a piece of paper. Huo Yuhao picked it and was amazed because the Voice of All Things made him hear something beyond normal senses. He pped his face in amazement andughed loudly. "HAHA!" "HAHAHAHA~!!" "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!" "One piece is indeed real." Huo Yuhao ced the paper back into the treasure box, staring at it with a smile. "However, it''s useless for someone else besides me, A World Traveler. The people of this world will never be able to realize its true value." "Gather all the keys and open the gate to a higher dimension." "The world of One Piece is just small collective dust under a greater realm." "The Realm of Gods." Chapter 136: Asserting Dominance Chapter 136: Asserting Dominance --- Chapter 136 --- One Piece is a small world with noplex higher dimension from what Huo Yuhao heard through the paper inside the treasure box. This ce has another name, only known to Joy Boy and Gol D. Roger. Well, including him after reading the content of the paper. Only two words were "literally." written upon it, but with Voice of All Things, one could gain more than that. It''s the memory left behind by the Joy Boy, recorded perfectly into the paper''s very fiber. A tale full ofughs because Joy Boy transcribed his life story and imagination about a higher realm that existed beyond this world. It was full ofughs because half of the story was just myths, but Huo Yuhao believed in the Joy Boy. He''s very sure that the paper used by the Joy Boy is unique because it could store spiritual memory. Is it just imagination? Is it just a dream? No one knows the truth as they never tried to achieve it. The other half of the story was about the Void Century. An era where all things became loose as everyone started a conflict with each other, using the weapon of mass destruction to wipe each other. It also stated how to utilize the Ancient Weapons, gaining their control with a unique yet simple method. However, Gol D. Roger most likely never disclosed this information to everyone. Gol D. Roger is a fool, but he was a good fool. He realized a secret like this would be better to remain as secret as it is. "What a guy." Huo Yuhao chuckled while watching the ocean lie after this ind. As thest ind of the Grand Line, this ce was covered with mist and mysteries, having only one way out and entering. Only someone with Divine Sense or Voice of All things could find the path correctly. "So, what''s written on the paper, Honey~?" Raikou suddenly asked while ying around on the beach. She made a small sand castle as Huo Yuhao contemted the One Piece''s Treasure. Huo Yuhao smiled and returned, "Do you really want to know?" "It''s nothing special and probably has no meaning for people of this world besides three or maybe five people with D''s bloodline and will." "Is it~?" Raikou pouted, bing more curious about the content of the treasure box. "I''ll tell you then." Huo Yuhao shrugged casually. "The paper only contains two words with no decoration meaning behind it. Unless you''re a world traveler who knows about several other worlds with the same term." "Anyway..." "The words written on the paper are..." "Tiny World." ... ... Minamoto no Raikou was confused. Tiny World? What is the meaning behind these words? ''Just who are you, Honey?'' Raikou thought while watching Huo Yuhao''s broad back. Despite his young age, Huo Yuhao looks no different than adult men or even better, considering his otherworldly appearance. She hugged him from behind tightly and asked, "Honey, why are you wearing these sses? It''s not amon sorcery item because my eyes couldn''t see your "True." appearance for some reason." "I''m sure there was nothing wrong with your eyes, no?" Huo Yuhao remembered that Raikou was the descendant of Gozu Tennou and chuckled because her Divine background made it harder to see his appearance. rk Kent''s sses suree in handy. "Well, this rare item helped me tremendously in the past month, Raikou-san. Without it, many lives would fall to me." Huo Yuhao answered with a wry expression. He would have never thought being handsome would be this troublesome in the past. In his previous life, Putra was neither ugly nor handsome. He''s above average for sure, but that''s it. ''Bah! Talking about being narcissistic!'' Tian Mengmented with a sneer on her face. ''Bing Bing says I influenced you, but you always like this, right!'' Bing Di rubbed her temple and said, ''Shut your mouth, Tian Meng. You have no right to criticize Yuhao. At least he''s better than you in his narcissism.'' Eluxia has to agree with Bing Di because Huo Yuhao doesn''t really use his appearance to achieve indecent and lustful things. Of course, women anddies are flocking over him like moths flying to a me, but he wisely rejects them and only chooses people who can help him. So far, Eluxia has never been disappointed with Huo Yuhao''s decision. He''s wise and tricky enough to conquer the Draconic Deus''s World and Douluo Dalu''s universe. Even this primitive world(One Piece) is not a big deal for him. Eluxia is still somewhat disgusted with this world''s nature, though. After seeing how someone consumed and absorbed the impure concept of light into his body(Kizaru), she was "actually." taken aback because such a thing shouldn''t be impossible. Not to mention the fact this impure concept of light had someone''s will inside it, allowing the wielder to change and adapt to it. In Eluxia''sst world, despite not remembering everything about it. She recalled the way to control the fundamental element of the world. Law of the Universe, mastering one is as hard as bing a god. This world is different because, ording to Huo Yuhao''s brief exnation, anyone who consumed devil fruits could wield a concept of something, which was the lower stage of Law. Isn''t that ridiculous? It''s like a p on the face for people who painstakingly tried toprehend the Law of the Universe. And Kizaru''s light ability made Eluxia so disgusted that she wanted to puke. ''Losing the ability to swim is nothingpared to gaining control over a concept.'' Eluxia thought while pondering about something. There must be a higher existence somewhere else in this world. That person either passed away or observed this broken ce silently, but Eluxia doubted thetter more. ''There is no divine entity in this ce, teacher. The energy concentration of universalws in this world is too thin for god-like beings. They wouldn''t drop so low to excite themselves here.'' Huo Yuhaomented while leaping through space to the Tequ Wolf. [No Divine Entity Detected] Evo reported with a dull tone. [The strongest beings on this are demigods] Meanwhile, Raikou tilted her head in confusion because she couldn''tprehend Huo Yuhao''s replies about the reason behind him wearing the mysterious ck-framed sses. "Fall to you?" ... ... Huo Yuhao and Raikou leaped back to the Tequ Wolf, seeing several marine battleships surrounding the dock. They sure took the threat more seriously after realizing Kizaru''s panic call. In just 20 minutes, there are at least 30 battleships near Tequ Wolf. "Have you made up your mind yet?" Huo Yuhao spotted Nico Robin with several people from the Tequ Wolf andnded on the ground. Robin smiled weakly and replied, "I don''t have much choice, no? It''s better to follow you and returnter." "However, can you do something about this ce?" Huo Yuhao nced at a group of people behind Robin and observed their natures briefly. He asked Evo if he could bring them to the Draconic Deus Universe. [No] Evo tly responded. [Host and Minamoto no Raikou are "temporarily." able to enter this world because of the Random Summoning Card. The Host''s purpose here is to save Nico Robin, which makes her securely summoned by the system] [You could visit this world after the Main Quest is over] "..." Huo Yuhao. He sighed and said, "Robin, how many people in this ce owed your kindness? Saving them now wouldn''t make any difference because we wouldn''t return to this until my mission is "thoroughly."pleted." "Yes, you heard it right. I can''t save these people, Robin." The faces of the people behind Robin be pale when hearing Huo Yuhao''s answer. He''s right because they haven''t treated Robin enough to get her kindness. And one of them snitches Robin''s location to the outside world, causing this possible disaster for all of them. It''s unfair, but they couldn''t do anything about it. "No! Please save everyone!" Soran stepped out before everyone, staring at Huo Yuhao with a hopeful yet firm gaze. "They might be bad, but everyone is trying hard to live here." "People called us Prisoners and Criminals, but the majority of us are innocent and know nothing about our sin." "You have quite a mouth for a child." Huo Yuhaomented while shaking his head. "I don''t want to break your bubble early, but not everything in this world is free, kid." "I know!" Soran pouted, which left everyone speechless. "Honey..." Raikou whispered something into Huo Yuhao''s ears. Huo Yuhao smiled and sighed in defeat, "Fine, I''m doing this for you, Raikou-san." ... "PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!" Huo Yuhao''s voice echoed to the whole world. "Remember this name, Jack Sparrow! Captain Jack Sparrow!!" "I have imed Tequ Wolf to be my territory and prohibited everyone from entering it for two years. Any breach of my field will get considered an offense by me." "I don''t care about your Marine''s Justice, World Government, and Celestial Dragon Shits." "You take one step into this ce, and your fate will be the same as Admiral Kizaru... Dead on the ocean." His voice ended coldly, causing everyone in the world of One Piece to shiver. Everyone was shocked. An unknown individual doesn''t care about offending the World Government, Marine, and Celestial Dragon. His name will get recorded in the story for having balls of steel and being the bravest man in the world. Jack Sparrow, this name didn''t just shock the world but also destroyed the power bnce between pirates and marines. "W-What an individual..." Robin covered her mouth in awe. Huo Yuhao created a copy of Yeoui and bashed the Marine Battleship with the erged staff, killing everyone there. He doesn''t bat an eye because the marine wouldn''t leave Tequ Wolf peacefully after his leave. BOOOM! Huo Yuhao stabbed the Yeoui in the center of the Tequ Wolf, causing a small earthquake for a moment. He channeled his Spirit Energy and used Wood Fairy''s authority over wood elements. BOOOOM! "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence..." Huo Yuhao stomped his leg on the ground and caused massive trees to grow around the Tequ Wolf, covering the long bridge city like a barrier. Each tree is thicker than a mountain, towering over everyone with their shadows. Tequ Wolf is a vast sea with some inds connecting in the form of a bridge. In short, this ce is fucking huge, but Huo Yuhao covered them well without even showing a sign of trouble. The Tequ Wolf''s residence was speechless. How powerful. Is this the power of a god? How is this even possible? What kind of Devil Fruit did Jack Sparrow eat to possess such power? Huo Yuhao ignored everyone''s gaze and even added Primordial Rune''s barrier around the Tequ Wolf. This rune will seal the space around Tequ Wolf and eject anyone with dark intentions toward the city. It''s not perfect protection, but it will do for two years. "Evo, how much time do I have left?" Huo Yuhao breathed out because doing this consumes a lot of energy. At least 5% of his Spirit Energy was pletely." depleted to create the forest barrier. Fighting in the Great War isn''t this exhausting. [You have two minutes left] "You can still show me treasures with your scanning function, right?" Huo Yuhao recalled the moment he left White Tiger Mansion''s forest. [Of Course, Host] [Do you want me to show them?] "Yeah." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and watched several green lights appear. He smiled and said, "It''s looting time." With a flick of his fingers, Huo Yuhao created wormholes and teleported everything into his inventory. Whether it was devil fruits, rare metals, or weapons, they entered his pocket without stopping. "Kekeke~!" Heughed in joy. Of course, Huo Yuhao doesn''t take all the natural resources because these people won''t survive if he does so. He left some water veins and food sources enough for them to live in Tequ Wolf. [You have finished the Quest] "Nice." Huo Yuhao returned to Raikou and Robin''s side. "How was it?" Robin smiled and lowered her head thankfully, "Yes, thank you for everything. I''ll remember this kindness for the rest of my life and try my best to pay it back." "Such a dream." Huo Yuhao chuckled amusingly. "Huo Yuhao, I ept your offer," Robin said firmly, knowing she received more benefits than Yuhao. [Returning to the Draconic Deus] [In three, two, one...] Huo Yuhao and Raikou teleported back to thend below the floating ind. The white portal blinked a few times before spitting Nico Robin into the air. "Kyaa!" ''Damn, Evo. Chill.'' Huo Yuhao caught Robin in princess carry, making the archeologist blush slightly. [Lucky Bastard Activated] [Harem Protagonist Activated] As Huo Yuhao, Raikou, and Robin disappeared into white light. Everyone on the Tequ Wolf kneeled on the ground and worshiped them, especially Huo Yuhao. Like he was their god. With the power of the butterfly effect, Tequ Wolf will be awful ce where everyone can live in peaceter on. They are also one of the most known factions in the world, rivaling the World Government in size. Well, the ce isn''t Tequ Wolf anymore. Everyone agreed to change it to match Huo Yuhao''s brilliance. Pir City Hidden in the Lush Forest, Elwood. Chapter 137: Hades and Lilith Chapter 137: Hades and Lilith --- Chapter 137 --- [You have received another title] [Am I The Messiah?] [Effect: People view you more in good light than others] "Seriously?" Huo Yuhao was speechless. He couldn''t help but smile when listening to Evo''s notification because he hadn''t done something grand to acquire this title. Huo Yuhao saved Tequ Wolf, but that was out of Raikou and Robin''s requests. He went to One Piece for Nico Robin only, after all. "C-Can you put me down?" Robin whispered in his ears. "Sure." Huo Yuhao put the ck-haired beauty to the ground, letting her see the scenery around them. Robin was honestly surprised because this ce waspletely unknown territory to her. Robin watched the red sky with aplicated gaze as the world she knew had a blue sky. Just how vast is this universe? The atmosphere of this ce is also cozier than she expected, having a warm and fresh environment to live in, which probably happened this way because she escaped the Tequ Wolf''s winter. "Yuhao-sama, where are you going this whole time?" Grayfia walked out of the magic circle. She has a worried expression stered on her beautiful face. "Hmm??" She looked at Robin and Raikou, "These women are?" "Hi, Fia. Oh, they are our newpanions. Let me introduce you to Minamoto no Raikou and Nico Robin." Huo Yuhao smiled and responded casually. "Robin, Raikou-san. This beautiful woman is my maid, Grayfia Lucifuge." Unknown to Huo Yuhao, the three women stared at each other with a meticulous gaze. They are observing their futurepetitor. The Battlefield of Women is rough when your target brings newpetitors like nothing every day. Grayfia sighed inside because the cult Qianye Ying''er created in thest two days had grown tremendously, gaining members who loyally obeyed her teachings without question. The maid doesn''t want to admit it, but Qianye Ying''er has bribed her with some photos of Huo Yuhao. She let out a small sigh and said, "Nice to meet you two." "Likewise." Raikou smiled politely, feeling this silver-haired woman was way closer to her honey. Should she wear a maid outfit too? Robin is the only one who can''t feel the mental fight between the devil and demonic women. She could only sense the heated spark, but everything beyond that was impossible because her spiritual sense was weaker than Grayfia and Raikou. ''How strong...'' Robin clenched her fist, reimagining the fight between Kizaru and Raikou half an hour ago. It was still fresh in her mind as she couldn''t do anything before the yellow-suited admiral. "Haa..." Robin cleared her throat and mumbled, "I only have one year and nine months left. After that, the crew would return and gather in Saobody." "Until that time, I''ll train myself to the utmost limit." "Good, because my Shishou will wee people like you." Huo Yuhao suddenly said while patting Robin''s shoulder. "Well, that''s for another day, Nico Robin-san~! Now you have to rest and recover your mental state." "Fia, bring Robin to the guest room. I''ll go to the meeting room with Raikou-san." Grayfia nodded and replied, "Okay, Yuhao-sama." "Eh-?" Robin was struck on the back of her neck by Grayfia. She fainted on the spot, but the silver-haired maid immediately caught her and walked away to the magic circle, disappearing into nothingness. "Oh, pure magic still exists in this world? How amazing." Raikou squinted her eyes when observing Grayfia''s magic circle. Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "You can call it that way." ... ... Huo Yuhao looked at the tall wooden door and stepped into the room with a long table. Eighty-five seats for each Devil n and Satans remained alongside the table, excluding the Supreme Leader one for him. He sat on the highest authority and said, "Let''s start." "YES, GOETIA-SAMA!" Everyone in the room responded immediately. Ajuka Beelzebub shared knowledge about the Realm of the Dead with everyone. It''s also rted to Hades, one of the three major gods from Olympus. Huo Yuhao quickly skimmed the report and was slightly amused because conquering the so-called Realm of the Dead won''t be a nd activity for the next few days. Flipping through the documents, Huo Yuhao also discovered that some grim reapers(Hades''s subordinate) had been trying to find out about his information. Anything rted to him also spreads at an rming rate to all factions in Draconic Deus''s world, starting from the God''s group like Norse, Greek, Hindu, Celtic, Egyptian, and Persian. His existence is such a threat to them. It''s better this way. Huo Yuhao doesn''t have to waste his energy on luring them into his scheme anymore. They would split into three groups, the Spectator, Peacemaker, and Aggressor. Peacemakers will try their best to make no conflict with him. They are a group of bootlickers. Aggressor clearly doesn''t like his conquering feats. Jealous or heavily-justice kind of people. And Spectator will watch, waiting for the result and pouncing on the winner that benefits them. They are a group of the most disgusting and wise-minded individuals. "Oh?" An article caught Huo Yuhao''s attention. "A rumor of a reincarnated devil that doesn''t use Devil Piece appeared in the human world, specifically the middle east, Africa, China, and Southeast Asia." "Is this confirmed?" He nced at Ajuka. "Yes." Ajuka nodded solemnly, causing the n heads and devil kings to mutter in disbelief. "We have caught them all, but they kept appearing out of nowhere in greater numbers. Not to mention all of these devils are mindless and seem to possess child-like intelligence." "As if they are just born into this world..." "Where are they?" Huo Yuhao frowned when hearing Ajuka''sst statement. Roygun Belphegor raised her hand and suddenly responded, "If I may answer, Goetia-sama." "Go ahead." Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to her. Roygun cleared her throat with a cough and replied, "All the unknown reincarnated devils were under Guardian''s control. We attempted to fix them and gained some information regarding their unknown origin." "However, what we gain so far is only." "Mother, Dark, Obedience. " "Just three words." "Even when we used a harder method, nothing changed with those three words kept being repeated by them." She finished, which left Huo Yuhao mute for a moment. "I see... Can you bring one of them here? I might be able to see something beyond normal interrogation." Huo Yuhao said naturally. Roygun flicked her wrist and drew a magic circle, whispering something in the air as a portal appeared behind her. One of the Guardian''s members brought the devil here, and it was a female werewolf. Huo Yuhao activated Genesis and the End''s ability, seeing the origin of the female werewolf. He blinked a few times, allowing everyone to see his blue eyes had a golden tint that made them shiver. They were waiting for Huo Yuhao to open his mouth but were alerted when heughed like a madman. "Haha..." A cold grin cracks on Huo Yuhao''s face, reminding them of the cruel Devil God. "That Hades Bastard." "He thought he could meddle with the reincarnation cycle and recreate devil society with his authority over the Realm of the Dead. Fucking Karma will chase over his body and soul." "Hades? He''s connected to this?" Sirzechs asked calmly. Serafall, Ajuka, and Falbium eyed their fellow satan in surprised light because they thought the red-haired Lucifer would be somewhat frantic at Huo Yuhao for disciplining his younger sister, but he kept calm. Huo Yuhao told the Guardian Member to bring back the female werewolf and answered, "Hades... He tried to create Super Devil with the help of his power and Lilith, the mother of original devils." "WHAT?!" They are shocked when hearing that. Who''s Lilith? She''s the mother of all devils, the ex-wife of Adam, who created the current devil society alongside the original Lucifer. Everyone believed Lilith passed away after the great war, but hearing she was still alive under Hades''s possession is crazy information. Huo Yuhao saw everyone''s reaction and added, "Hades used Lilith''s body as an incubator to create new Super Devils with other races. The female werewolf was "actually." birthed through aplex method of birthing technique." "She''s on the verge of death after creating some of you, who were still alive after the Great War. I thought she passed away alongside Lucifer, but to think Hades will take her half-dead self and experiment to create a powerful army is beyond my understanding." "I might be the Devil God in your eyes, but Hades? What scum he is." Heughed indifferently. "Now we have one more reason to attack the Realm of the Dead." "Hades could hide, but he would never escape from my grasp." "So, WE SHALL ATTACK HADES, meaning Olympus will get dragged one way or another." He red at his subordinate. "Do you have a problem with my decision?" "NO, DEVIL GOD-SAMA!" The devil responded well. "WE SHALL ATTACK HADES AND TAKE MOTHER LILITH BACK!" "Good." Huo Yuhao was satisfied with their replies. [You have triggered a Quest] [Name: The Audacity of Hades] [Objective: Save Lilith and Kill Hades(0/2)] [Reward: Ashborn''s Spark(Brilliant Light), Gold Upgrading Ticket(1)] [Penalty: The System will confiscate Ashborn Spark''s Spirit Ring and abilities rted to it for ten years] [Time Limit: One Week] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] ''What an annoying penalty...'' Huo Yuhao thought while epting the new Quest. ''Well, the stake makes it more challenging.'' He closed his eyes to run through several ns, calcting everything based on his knowledge about Hades. This guy will be the second god-like being he fought in this world. "We will attack the Realm of the Dead in two days. There is no grand n or tactic, just pure raw breakthrough." He suddenly said, causing a new wave of surprise. "B-But, your majesty, isn''t that too reckless?" Someone returned nervously. "We didn''t know how much force Hades had." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and continued, "No, this is the best move we could execute. We will show the supernatural world that devil races aren''t pussy. Grow some fucking bones, you boneless devil." "Don''t tell me you don''t want to save Lilith? Your fucking ancestor..." His blue eyes focused on the devil, making everyone stare at the poor middle-aged devil. "I-I..." The middle-aged devil lowered his head. "I will follow your majesty''s order." ''Boo! Huo Yuhao is bullying this poor guy! Abuse of power!'' Tian Mengmented from the spiritual seal, but Bing Di and Eluxia could see a wild grin on her face. This worm sure likes to dominate others. Tian Meng''s face and words don''t match each other. After telling everyone to prepare for the full-blown attack and probably deration of war against Olympus, Huo Yuhao finished the meeting with some words. "That''s it. Have a nice day, everyone." Huo Yuhao walked out with Raikou. "Good job," Raikoumented while hugging his arm, sandwiching it between her mountain valley. Huo Yuhao coughed respectfully and returned, "Thanks, Raikou-san." "Why don''t we have a meal first?" "Your majesty, Goetia-sama!" Someone suddenly called him. It was Sirzechs Lucifer with his father, Zeoticus Gremory. The redhead devils approached him with a solemn look. "Do you need something?" Huo Yuhao questioned them, hoping this won''t hinder him from getting a meal with Raikou. Sirzechs breathed in and nced at his father, seeing Zoeticus''s slight nod at him. They suddenly lowered their bodies to a perfect reversed L shape. "Thank you for saving and punishing Rias!!!" They said simultaneously. "Huh?" Huo Yuhao was confused. "What??" Sirzechs opened his mouth and added, "We have been spoiling Rias since she was a child because of her talents and lineage. I might be a doting brother, but I hope she can grow more mature since the Kokabiel''s incident." Zeoticus sighed in relief and continued, "It''s our fault for her to grow like this, but with your absolute authority, Rias will grow to be a better person and devil in the future." "Once again, thank you, your majesty." "..." Huo Yuhao. "Okay..." "You''re wee, I guess?" "I''ll have a meal, bye." Huo Yuhao told them to rise and walked away with Raikou. "Please visit Gremory Mansion in the future, Goetia-sama!!" Sirzechs and Zeoticus shouted from the hallway, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a little nod. Raikou giggled andmented, "They are funny." "Yeah." Huo Yuhao let out a chuckle. Chapter 138: Small Talk and Corruption? Chapter 138: Small Talk and Corruption? --- Chapter 138 --- The next morning. "YUHAO~!" Huo Yuhao was eating his seafood pasta when a familiar shout echoed on the floating ind. He choked for a moment and emptied a ss of water immediately. Sitting on the veranda with Grayfia and Robin, Huo Yuhao saw Scathach trespassing his Rune Barrier like it was nothing to her. A smile cracked on Huo Yuhao''s face because Shishou''s rune mastery was higher than his. And he has a freaking Rune Master Job. Scathach hopped a few times andnded on the veranda like a breeze, touching the concrete fence delicately. "I''m here~!" She dered her presence proudly. "Why are you here, Shishou? I thought you weren''t interested in conquering the Underworld?" Huo Yuhao responded calmly, wiping his mouth with a napkin. Scathach acted cluelessly and returned, "When did I say that? Anyway, I heard about your n through Giana, so let me fight Hades!" Huo Yuhao sighed in loss when seeing her act and told his lovely teacher to drop from the fence first, exining the Realm of the Dead''s strike initiative and reason. She listened to them well and even nodded a few times boringly. "So we only have to beat the shit of everyone, pretty simple." Shemented, which left Grayfia on the side speechless. How casual can one be? Scathach confidently believed she could beat everyone on Hades''s side, but Grayfia somehow acknowledged the red-eyed battle maniac even without proof. If Qianye Ying''er could defeat Tiamat with such ease, then Scathach, who was supposedly more powerful than the cult- fan club''s leader, should be able to defeat a god-ss being like Hades. A simple guess but admittedly close enough to the truth. "I would like to be in the frontline." Scathach crossed her arms, taking no for an answer. "Fine... Just don''t destroy the ce, Shishou. I don''t want to revamp the whole Realm of the Dead and mess with this world''s cycle of rebirth." Huo Yuhao responded calmly. "Hehe~! As expected of my disciple, you''re the best-!" When Scathach was about to hug, a katana suddenly flew out with great force. SWOOSH! As the god yer, she casually caught the de with her bare hand and nced down at the person who disturbed her quality moment with Huo Yuhao. Scathach frowned and mumbled, "You''re... A servant?" Even though almost seven years have joyfully passed since Huo Yuhao summoned her to the Douluo Dalu Universe, she still remembers the signature energy of a servant. "You too?" Raikou returned with a confused expression. The berserker andncer stared at each other awkwardly, not knowing what they should say next. Scathach made the first move and shoved the katana away from her face, pulling Huo Yuhao into her embrace. Raikou doesn''t like this,unching a palm strike on Scathach''s sr plexus. BAM! Scathach lowered her elbow and received the palm strike without any problem. "Gae Bol-!" Huo Yuhao grabbed their hands and said, "Okay, stop!" "Stop fighting!" "But Honey, she''s being rude for grabbing you away from me~!" Raikou pouted, making Scathach chuckle. Scathach stared at the big-breasted berserker and sneered, "Me, taking away Yuhao? He''s mine from the beginning, you cow!" "Also, what''s this honey thing..." Her gaze pierced Huo Yuhao''s skin. "Okay, let me exin..." Huo Yuhao responded while cing them six feet apart. He told Scathach about the Summoning Cards and made the god yer''s expression mellow slightly. After a few minutes, Scathach huffed and said, "Out of all things, you summoned more women. Just what''s wrong with your luck, Yuhao? I don''t against your n on building a massive harem, but at least do it in moderation." "..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. "It''s not my fault." "The summons are random, like literally." "How could I know the servant would be a female??" Scathach isn''t "fully." convinced by Huo Yuhao''s reasoning because over one hundred thousand women are chasing this blue-haired scoundrel. He only had to snap his finger once, and they would lift their skirts for him. "I am not convinced." She firmly stated. "Unless..." "Enjoy the breakfast, Raikou-san, Fia. I''ll be back in a brief moment." Huo Yuhao knew where this was going and disappeared from the veranda with Scathach, leaving Raikou and Grayfia alone for one hour. When they returned, Grayfia and Raikou could see a slight blush on Scathach''s cheeks. The mighty red-eyed woman was conquered by Huo Yuhao and even purred like a cat while hugging his arm, sweating out her satisfaction in the bright yellow happy aura. ''Did they...'' Raikou gazed at Grayfia. ''Yes, they did.'' Grayfia hopelessly nodded. She saw the past with her temporal eyes and viewed some spicy scenes, only thest bit. Minamoto no Raikou bit her lips in dissatisfaction because she couldn''t approach Huo Yuhao very well yesterday. After the hearty meal, Huo Yuhao told her to rest and adapt to the environment first. It also applies to Grayfia in thest few weeks, getting instructed by Huo Yuhao to train and hone her mastery of Spirit Skills. Combined with her maid job, she has no time to advance even further in her rtionship. "Why the long face?" Huo Yuhao gentlyughed while sitting back in his chair. "You two have a lot of chances to get closer to me, and no one would hold you back. Even my mother." "My mother might test you, but the decision is up to me in the end." "If I don''t like you, I''d already said it from the beginning, no?" He added, which surprised Grayfia. It''s true. Huo Yuhao never pushed Grayfia and the other women away. He calmly observed and gave them time to understand the meaning behind his intention. No one could form a strong rtionship instantly. One had to understand and spend a long time with individuals, understanding them slowly. Of course, there is such a thing as "Love at First Sight." but the rtionship based on it usually doesn''tst long. It either ended prematurely, or time washed it away into history. Raikou gently ced her hand on the table and said, "Let''s go on a date~!" "After this war against the Realm of the Dead, Let''s go on a date, honey~!" "Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded casually. "I would like to know more about you, Raikou-san." Scathach wasn''t mad when hearing Raikou''s proposition andy her head on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. This guy consoled her too much. She couldn''t be mad at him. ''Well, I like to go on a date too.'' Scathach peeked into Huo Yuhao''s face. Huo Yuhao peacefully finished breakfast with a cereal bar and remembered something. "Oh, yeah. Shishou, I found a good candidate to train for you." He suddenly said. "Hmm, the other woman?" Scathach returned with a pout. Huo Yuhao scratched his cheek and replied, "Uh... Yes." "Her name is Nico Robin, a person from a world of pirates." "She possessed quite a unique ability through the consumption of devil fruit, an item with an innate concept of the universe." "When one ate a devil fruit, that person lost the ability to swim but was able to manipte a concept. Whether it''s darkness, light, space or even brazen things such as slow, quake, rubber, weights." Huo Yuhao described the devil fruits to Scathach. "Hmm... How bizarre." Scathach pondered about something. "Where is this girl?" "About that... Ying''er fetched Robin away before Grayfia could pick her up for breakfast." Huo Yuhao felt somewhat bad for Robin because the golden-haired youngdy wouldn''t leave her be. ''Oh no.'' Scathach pped her forehead. It was toote. She could have prevented the new girl from being corrupted by Qianye Ying''er, but it was toote now. Just one hour of divine revtion was enough for any weak-hearted maiden to fall into that girl''s palm. "I''ll check her condition." Scathach kissed Huo Yuhao and disappeared from the veranda. Huo Yuhao coughed andmented, "What a nice day." ... ... The Sixth Heaven, Zebel. "Sister, listen to us. Stop locking yourself up in the bedroom!" Micheal knocked on Gabriel''s bedroom. However, no replies areing out. The other archangels looked very worried about this situation. "What should we do?" Uriel asked while staring at the door. "At this point, we would never know our sister''s condition. Since Kokabiel''s attack on the Kuoh Academy and meeting with the Blue-Eyed Dragon God, she became more emotional." Raphael rubbed his temple and added, "We can''t leave her alone like this. I''m afraid Gabriel will lose her way into sin." Thinking hard about this situation, Micheal opened his mouth and said, "There is no other way. We should call Yuhao-sama here. He should have returned to hispound after visiting the Underworld." "Sama... Are we really going to be his subordinate?" Uriel felt this was wrong. After all, Huo Yuhao attacked their father in the past. Raphael agreed with Uriel and continued, "This is hard to ept, Micheal." "This is our father''sst will. Don''t tell me you don''t want to follow it, brothers. We should trust his decision till ourst breath." Micheal smiled weakly. "I understand your feelings, but this is for the greater good." ... On the other side of the door, Gabriel is sweating on her pure white bed and letting out heavy breathing. Her face is flushed with redness, making the once pure-lookingdy more sensual. "Father is so cute." Gabriel held a picture of a blue-haired child wearing tight ck pants. He''spletely naked on the upper half, exposing his tender skin and lean muscle. Yes, this is Huo Yuhao''s picture from six years ago. "Father." "Ah~! Father~!!" "How can you be so cute~?" "How can you be so handsome~!?" "Gabriel is a fan." "No, Gabriel is losing her way. P-Please forgive my sin, Punish me~!!" "AAHHHH~!!" Gabriel sniffed the picture and arched her back, sighing in relief. The golden halo above Gabriel''s head slowly bes darker each day, indicating her slow corruption. Now, you might wonder. How could Gabriel obtain this picture? The answer is simple, Qianye Ying''er. "Fufufu~!" Qianye Ying''er leaned on her chair while seeing the scene inside Gabrial''s bedroom. The picture held by the beautiful archangel is tempered with a monitoring rune, allowing her to see and hear everything. On a big yet wide table, over a thousand simr monitoring screensy before Qianye Ying''er eyes. Each screen ranged from every female member she recruited and talked to afternding in this world. "How beautiful." She giggled in joy. "What a great development." "I''m doing such a great job, and with this. Huo Yuhao''s religion will grow even further." She grinned while looking at the table and said, "Don''t worry. My lord, Yuhao. I''ll spread your religion until the end time~!" Chapter 139: Concept Fruits and Bad Girl? Chapter 139: Concept Fruits and Bad Girl? --- Chapter 139 --- Grigori. "Is this true?" "What are you rambling for, Vali? It''s true, you dumbass." "Don''t call me that..." Vali Lucifer read the information letter Azazel gave him, frowning because it felt too surreal. Huo Yuhao has killed his wretched grandfather in the Underworld, Familiar Forest. He should have felt relieved, knowing that the bastard died in Huo Yuhao''s hands. Yet, it''s unsettling that he couldn''t kill Rizevim by himself. ''Ahh... It''s annoying.'' Vali cursed in his mind. After getting tortured by Rizevim and his father, Vali has grown into a power-hungry youth. Even though he doesn''t let the dark desire ovee his heart, the sudden death of the lunatic grandfather makes that drive to be stronger dead for some reason. After all, Vali trained every day to make Rizevim''s life miserable. "Hmm? What''s this..." Vali flipped the letter and saw an additional message from Huo Yuhao. He read it and began tough like a maniac because this new boss somehow predicted his sour mood after reading this news. "That guy sure knows how to talk his subordinate out of frustration. He got your brazen nature very well in just one meeting, Vali." Albionmented in amusement, knowing Vali''s personality. "Shut it, Albion." Vali was embarrassed. After all, he challenged Huo Yuhao to a fight and was pletely." defeated to the ground. Even his most powerful technique couldn''t scratch Huo Yuhao, making the blue-haired young man look like a wild beast to him. Vali sighed because he should have trained more, and bing the Dragon Nest''s member opened a new stage for him. Azazel observed Vali''s face and smiled, "Such a good expression you had there." "Aih, I remember you were a crybaby years ago." Like a sad father, Azazel wiped nonexistent tears from his eyes. Vali''s mouth twitched when listening to this man''s nonsense. "AAH, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU TWO!" Vali stormed out of the room, leaving Azazel alone in his office. The general governor of Grigori shook his head andmented, "What a nice moment to be alive. Since we are under Huo Yuhao''s direct control, fewer issues have been happening in thest two months." "Sooner orter, this world will fall into his hands. I wonder what he is going to do with the Heaven System." Azazel was always curious about his father''s Heaven System because it governed the cycle of life and death in this world, allowing one into rebirth after cleaning their karma. The Heaven System also controlled how the Sacred Gear and Miracle were distributed to humankind. Or anyone who believed in the Biblical God. "I will ask himter about it." Azazel picked up the coffee on his table. ... ... [Vali Lucifer''s loyalty has increased] [You now could awaken Vali Lucifer''s Martial Soul] Huo Yuhao peeked at the system panel in the air and chuckled because the letter had arrived. He could have used themunication magic, but a written letter would be more sentimental to share about Rizevim''s death. "Things are going well." Hemented casually. "Hyaaa~! Take this, Nyaa~!" Kuroka''s shouts echoed in the training ground. The Nekoshouunched a cat paw-like energy st at Grayfia after infusing it with a fire element. Grayfia lifted her handgun and fired an energy bullet at the iing fire paw, freezing in motion. She was about to shoot another bullet, but Kuroka had already anticipated that. Kuroka skipped the distance between them by creating a chain of small explosions with her elemental beads. Water sshes evaporated because of it, causing the white mist to cover the training ground. Grayfia kept her stature andunched a barrage of energy bullets, feeling the earth below her feet moving. Several cat tails made of rocks sealed her legs to the ground. "Gotcha~!" Kuroka infused Wood Element into her palm and struck Grayfia''s stomach. Grayfia watched the palm approaching her stomach and sighed, vanishing from Kuroka''s view. The ck cat was speechless when a cold sensation rubbed her sensitive neck. "This is unfair, nyaa~!" Kurokained while raising her hands. "Time maniption is too overpowering!" "Ugh... With my elemental beads, I can only get closer to her." "You''re wrong. I''m at my limit as well." Grayfia shook her head gently. "Time Maniption is only powerful when the user is strong enough to control the flow. The energy consumption is also massive. elerating myself 30 times depleted 50% of my spirit energy in just 1 second." The silver-haired maid smiled and added, "You''re doing great, Kuroka." BOOM! The nekoshou and devil nced at the other side of the training ground, seeing the new girl named Nico Robin being trained by Scathach personally. They envied and pitied the girl because Scathach was known for her brutality in training. Even Huo Yuhao wasn''t so safe against the red-eyed teacher. "Come on. I know you could do more than this." Scathach kicked Robin on the stomach and made her puke on the ground. Robin groaned in pain and used her devil fruit''s power on Scathach''s neck, trying to strangle her. However, it''s a useless move because Robin doesn''t have enough physical strength to do it. "Insect''s bite is more painful than this." Scathach sighed in disappointment. "Yuhao said your power was unique and had the potential to be a vital resource for Dragon Nest, but this is worse than I thought." Robin gritted her teeth and mumbled, "One more time..." " I can''t hear you." Scathach raised her voice a little. "One more time..." "I can''t hear you! Robin!" Scathach grabbed Robin''s face and stared right into her blue eyes. "ONE MORE TIME, PLEASE!" Robin firmly replied. "Please help me to be stronger." Scathach grinned and dragged the young archeologist into the gravity pits, throwing her into the center. "In this gravity-increased field, I''ll teach you to draw primordial runes. Endure the weight on your body whileprehending this new knowledge." She said sternly. "Understand, Robin?" Robin nodded solemnly and responded, "Crystal, Shishou." Scathach flicked Robin''s forehead and returned, "That''s ma''am for you, girl. Only Yuhao could call me Shishou." "Yes, Ma''am!" ... Huo Yuhao enjoyed the time before they began the n to attack Hades and the Realm of the Dead. "I haven''t checked my rewards from Saving Robin." Hemented while opening his inventory. Five devil fruits with no colors and undefined patterns appeared on the table. [Name: Seed of Concept Fruits] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: D-SSS] [Description: Seed of Concept Fruits is an incredibly umon consumable item forprehending Universal Laws, ranging from something simple such as fundamental elements to abstractws like Death and Life] [After consumption, the obtainable concept ranged from D to SSS grade because it depends on the user''s talent. One couldn''t consume more than one Seed of Concept Fruit in their entire life] [And unlike Devil Fruits, the Seed of Concept Fruits are free from Worldly Curse because it was pure force without any will from the previous era. It also doesn''t have limitations from reaching a higher realm where pure concepts are needed] [Of course, a lower grade doesn''t mean the concept is weak. The people who have eaten the Seed of Concept Fruits could develop their unique ability of their own and reach the Law of Universe Stage] "What do you mean by limitation of devil fruits, Evo?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. [Devil Fruits are a manifestation of one''s desire, Host] [It allows one to breach natural order like a shortcut butes with weaknesses such as "losing the ability to swim." and "limitation of ascending to a higher realm because that person''s soul got tainted by the will of the past."] [Only people with D''s will and God''s Blessing could transcend this limit and be demi gods] Huo Yuhao bes even more confused, digesting the information slowly because One Piece he knew wasn''t thisplicated. Or maybe this specific One Piece is an Alternative Universe connected to another realm? That''s his possible guess for now. "Can I get rid of Devil Fruits'' weakness? I get some of them when saving Robin." Huo Yuhao questioned the system. "Oh wait, I can just upgrade it." What a dumb question Huo Yuhao had in a while. [...] [Yes] [You could have just upgraded the Devil Fruit into a better Devil Fruit] Huo Yuhao smiled and pulled Pika Pika no Mi, a banana fruit with a glimmering yellowish gold shade and dim light. Even though Qianye Ying''er possessed Spirit Skill to manipte light elements, this fruit will help her gain the Concept of Light. [Do you want to upgrade Pika Pika no Mi?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied naturally. [Using 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket on the Pika Pika no Mi] [Upgrading...] [You have received Concept of Light Fruit] "Evo, I can consume more than one seed of concept fruits, right?" He went to the Qianye Ying''er room. [Yes, Host] [Your Demi-Primordial Human and War Beast allowed you to bypass the boundary. The awakened potential: Limit Breaker also helped you in this situation] "That''s good then." Huo Yuhao saved the seed forter. Huo Yuhao was about to knock on Qianye Ying''er room when hearing a small moan. He was stunned on the spot, opening the door gently. ''Don''t do it, Yuhao!'' Tian Meng shouted from the spiritual world. ''Oy, Remember! You have a war tomorrow!'' The young man grinned and replied, "War can wait, Sister Daydream." "It seems that I have been neglecting my little Ying''er." "Ahn~!" "Yes, Yuhao~!" "Please shove that big thing into me." "Split me into half~!" "MM~! I''m so wet..." Qianye Ying''er voice is much higher in pitch than usual. "I''m such a bad girl..." "Yes, you are." Huo Yuhao replied while leaning on the wall. "Looks like I have to teach you some lessons." Knowing where this would develop, Qianye Ying''er bit her lips and coyly responded, "P-Please put me in my ce, my lord." "This little girl has been astray from your holy path." Huo Yuhao ced the Concept of Light Fruit on the table and asked, "Who has been a bad girl all this time?" "M-Me~!" Qianye Ying''er shivered in excitement. Chapter 140: Qianye Yinger Turn~! Chapter 140: Qianye Ying''er Turn~! --- Chapter 140 --- Qianye Ying''er blushed hard while lying on her bed, staring at Huo Yuhao with a hopeful look. This excitement in her heart has grown tremendously in the past seven years. Her feelings for Huo Yuhao will explode in passion today. "Haa..." "Haa..." "Yuhao, my lord..." She purred softly. Huo Yuhao watched Qianye Ying''er and forgot how well-endowed she was for a second. Even though it wasmon sense that people from Douluo Dalu''s Universe look older than their age, Qianye Ying''er transcends that by several levels. Qianye Ying''er looks like a full-grown adult and more gifted than several women he knew in charming aspects. Her skin is soft without blemish, having big breasts that are supple with a pink nipple poking through the silk sleeping gown. Her ass is to die for, inviting Huo Yuhao to caress it with care. ''Fuck, Since when did Ying''er be this beautiful? Aren''t these too big for her age??'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. He has been focusing on conquering this world too much. He sighed inside and gently picked up Qianye Ying''er golden hair, gasping at the alluring scent. He looked at her amethyst-colored eyes and lifted her chin. "Who''s the bad girl?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile. "M-Me~!" Qianye Ying''er responded in excitement. Huo Yuhao chuckled and seized Qianye Ying''er pink lips, savoring the taste of her mouth. Their tongues danced with each other, causing moans to escape a few times. He rubbed her ass gently and felt the firmness of it. As he released Qianye Ying''er from his kiss, she gasped and looked very intoxicated. "My lord..." "Ying''er is wrong." "Ying''er is sinful." "Please cleanse my body with your divine rod~!" She took her chance and grasped the meaty thing in Huo Yuhao''s pants. It has formed a tent and looks very tight there. Huo Yuhao brushed Qianye Ying''er lips and said, "Not yet." "Your punishment will start now." "Eh~?" Qianye Ying''er suddenly felt a smooth cloth wrapped around her head, sealing her vision. Everything is dark and makes her nervous. She couldn''t see anything because Huo Yuhao had nullified her power with Concept and Primordial Runes. "My lord?" "Yuhao?" "Fuu." Huo Yuhao blew a wind to Qianye Ying''er ears and suddenly kneaded her breast from behind. She moaned instantly. "Mm~!" "Do you feel my hand? Ying''er, was it too strong?" He asked indifferently. "Mm~! Y-Yes, my lord." Huo Yuhao teased Qianye Ying''er nipples with cold energy, driving them erect slowly. Her body shuddered in pleasure and started to be warm by itself. "You''re so wet under there, Ying''er." He added more force, hearing the whimper from Qianye Ying''er mouth. "I-I''m so weeeettt~!" "Aaahn~!!" Qianye Ying''er experienced a shock she had never felt before, wetting the bed from her lower lips. "Bad girl, who said you can cum?" Huo Yuhao''s voice whispered. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and tied Qianye Ying''er onto the bed with the Chains of Heaven. He locked her arms on the bedframe and stretched her legs open, seeing a damp area on her cottonce panties. He lowered the temperature of his finger with ice maniption and slowly rubbed her wet pussy. She shrieked in surprise because of the coldness, trying to move. "No, No. You can''t move yet." "Be a good girl, and receive your punishment." The cold finger plowed into her pussy. "Ah-!" Qianye Ying''er felt something shoved into her mouth. It was her panties. "Mm..." "Uugh..." Huo Yuhao liked her desperate attempt and said, "You can''t cum. If you even cum once more, I''ll stop. You don''t want that, right?" He kept fingering Qianye Ying''er pussy and watched the juice flooding his finger. After several minutes, the drool started toe from Qianye Ying''er mouth. She couldn''t handle this much pleasure. Qianye Ying''er has learned many lewd things in the past seven years, but experiencing them herself is close to none. She masturbated daily to keep her mind in ce, but this. It''s something else. She listened to frustrated wives'' and adult women''s night stories, learning from them. However, everything was thrown out of the window when Huo Yuhao took control. The panties dropped from her mouth. "Do you want to cum?" Huo Yuhao pulled her nipple slightly. "M-May I...?" Qianye Ying''er responded with a feverish mumble. Huo Yuhao grinned and returned, "No." "Beg for it, Ying''er." "Beg it like a little slut you are." Qianye Ying''er gulped her saliva and shouted, "Please, my lord~!" "Let me cum!" "Let this little slut of yours CUM!!" "Then, cum." Huo Yuhao struck his finger into Qianye Ying''er cunt and reached a ce near her hymen. Since Qianye Ying''er received Huo Yuhao''s consent and stimtion, she lifted her entire lower half and squirted a fountain of juice. She cleared her throat and moaned like crazy. "AAAAHHHH~!" "I''M CUMMING~!!" "Damn, how sensitive." Huo Yuhao wiped his face because her climax was wilder than he expected. He licked his lips and tasted the sweetness for some reason. The cloth on Qianye Ying''er eyes loosened, revealing her dreamy-looking face to Huo Yuhao. She looks turned on the highest degree with rolled eyes and drool in her mouth. ''Did I go too far?'' Huo Yuhao felt somewhat horrible, but Qianye Ying''er enjoyed it more than him. It also looks very sensual. He picked the water-replenishing candy from his inventory and fed it mouth to mouth because Qianye Ying''er had been squirting like a fountain, so she must have lost a lot of liquid. It was a brief kiss, but Qianye Ying''er hungrily wanted more. Huo Yuhao released her hands from the bedframe and pushed Qianye Ying''er down. She fished his dick out of the pants, rubbing the ball with her soft hand. "My lord..." "My lord..." "Let me worship your dick~!" Qianye Ying''er went down and licked his shaft, making it tremble. Huo Yuhao saw Qianye Ying''er kiss his dick and leave faint lipstick marks like it was the most beautiful thing in the world, whispering godly prayers about a magnificent meaty rod. "Oh, my lord. You''re so big." "So bigger than my arms." "No man shall everpete with you. They are lower than even wormspared to this dick." And not going to lie. Huo Yuhao was stimted and leaked a precum when hearing that. "Ah, holy water~!" Qianye Ying''er reached his dick''s hole and licked the precum. Her eyes widened in awe because that was the tastiest liquid she had. After worshiping Huo Yuhao''s dick for five minutes, Qianye Ying''er slowly put the meaty rock into her lips. She skillfully lowered her head, gagging on it for a moment. Huo Yuhao was speechless because Qianye Ying''er blowjob skill was not bad. He could feel his dick getting enveloped by her soft and warm throat. "MM~!" Glug! Glug! Glug! Qianye Ying''er gagged because it was too hard to fit the entire dick in her mouth and throat. Huo Yuhao grunted and grabbed her head, cumming in her mouth. Gluk~! Gluk~! Qianye Ying''er slowly lifted her head and felt Huo Yuhao''s warm cum in her mouth. It was sticky, warm, salty, and sweet. This sensation overwhelmed her sense of taste, causing her to grow an addiction to it. She opened her mouth wide and showed Huo Yuhao how much of a good girl she was now. "My lord, can I swallow this?" She asked with a hopeful gaze. "Swallow it." Huo Yuhao nodded in amusement. Qianye Ying''er smiled and gulped Huo Yuhao''s cum, having a little orgasm because his seed contained a mysterious substance that made her feel hotter each second. Or is it just his draconic influence over her? "Am I a good girl now~?" She asked immediately. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Yes, you are." "Still, you have to beg for it, okay?" Qianye Ying''er jumped from the bed and lifted her sleeping gown, revealing her clean pussy to him. "My lord, please take my virginity~!" She dered while having her wet hole dripping with juice. "I can''t wait anymore." "This little slut of yours is hungry for a real cock." "That''s the n." Huo Yuhao noticed a faint rune above Qianye Ying''er crotch. It was an unknown rune and probably invented by her. "Hmm, what''s this rune?" Qianye Ying''er blushed and proudly said, "I-It''s sensory sharing rune, allowing me to share any experience with your followers, my lord." "Any sexual experience I went through so far has been shared with your religion''s followers. Of course, female and trusted members only. As the leader, I shall share this joy with others, right~?" She grinned, leaving Huo Yuhao and his contracted souls speechless. "The Rune also increases the effect of Dual Cultivation by 1000 times for you because, in theory, you indirectly had sex with 1000 women simultaneously. Including me." "Dual Cultivation is only for plebians. Milluple Cultivation is for real godly beings like you." Qianye Ying''er proudly puffed her chest, making them jiggle in motion. "I''m such a genius when thinking of this idea~!" "Hehe~! Praise me~!!" Huo Yuhao doesn''t know whether tough or cry after he knows about this rune ability. Nheless, Qianye Ying''er looks so fucking adorable right now. He couldn''t wait anymore and grabbed Qianye Ying''er ass, giving her a peck on the nape. "Why are you so adorable, Ying''er?" He asked while pulling his pants off. "Fuck me, my lord." Qianye Ying''er hissed while facing down with her ass up. Huo Yuhao teased Qianye Ying''er wet cunt by pping his man''s meat around it, rubbing the lips yfully. She groaned in frustration and begged him to fuck her needily. He shoved his dick into her needy hole and felt the extreme tightness of her inner pussy. He grunted hard because of the walls wrapping around his meaty rod. "Oh, My GOD!" "MY LORD! YOU''RE SO BIG! YOUR DICK IS SPLITTING ME IN HALF." At the same time, a thousand nuns in the Vatican dropped to the floor and started to moan like crazy. Thank god they are in Qianye Ying''er personal quarter, or people would be alerted by this. PA! PA! PA! Huo Yuhao moved his hips rapidly and made Qianye Ying''er feel nirvana for the first time. Her entire body was flooded by an unbelievable amount of pleasure, drowning her once virgin self in lust. "AHN~!" "AHN~!" "SO GOOD, DON''T STOP!" "MY LORD~!! YOU''RE MAKING ME LOSE MYSELF~!!" Huo Yuhao kept smashing Qianye Ying''er and made her fall into something sinful. "THIS IS BAD~! I''LL GET ADDICTED TO THIS!!" Qianye Ying''er felt her cunt burning. It wanted to get continuously fucked up by Huo Yuhao. "I CAN''T LIVE WITHOUT YOUR DICK ANYMORE~!!!" "Ying''er, I''m about to cum." Huo Yuhao whispered while hugging her from behind. Qianye Ying''er shook her body and shouted, "CUM, MY LORD! PUMP YOUR HOLY SEED INTO MY BODY!" "BREED ME LIKE A SOW~!!" Huo Yuhao growled and shoved his entire dick deep into Qianye Ying''er pussy, reaching into her womb. He released a jet of cum and made her stomach bloat like a balloon. Qianye Ying''er grinned wildly and let out a heavy moan, "AHHHH~! I''M CUMMING~!!!" "Not enough." Huo Yuhao pulled his dick from Qianye Ying''er pussy and noticed it was still erect. He cummed a few times already, but it wasn''t enough to satisfy him. Feeling Qianye Ying''er holebined with the flesh of his other followers makes him more turned on for some reason. It''s not just good. It''s so fucking good. "Ying''er, you''re the one who started this." Huo Yuhao pped Qianye Ying''er ass and put his dick on her other hole. "W-Weh...?" Meanwhile, Qianyie Ying''er couldn''t even respond correctly. "AHHN~!!" A moan escaped her mouth again. Huo Yuhao drove his dick into Qianye Ying''er ass, taking her virginity like no tomorrow. His balls made contact with her pussy and dribbled with leaking cum. "AAAH! MY ASS~!!" "MYASSHHOGOOOD~!!" "I KAN''T LIBE-!" "MMMMM~!!!" Qianye Ying''er mind was pletely." filled with nothing but pleasure at this point. She wanted to stop because she couldn''t handle it anymore, but Huo Yuhao kept fucking her like a horny rabbit. Huo Yuhao mmed his dick into her ass, causing Qianye Ying''er to faint in pleasure. She woke up several minutester and experienced a wilder orgasm than before. "I''m FUCKING CUMMING, YING''ER~!!!" Huo Yuhao said while pulling her ass into him. "TAKE THAT!" "AAAAHHHHHHHHNNNN~!!!" Qianye Ying''er gasped and dropped to the floor with a messy look. At the same time, a thousand nuns have fainted in their own puddles of juices. ... ... "Phew." Huo Yuhao breathed out and mumbled, "Damn..." "I should have controlled myself more..." He looked around and noticed Qianye Ying''er bedroom had be a wrecked ship. He smiled wryly and helped Qianye Ying''er in her recovery. "Love you, my little Ying''er." Huo Yuhao slept beside Qianye Ying''er and kissed her forehead. Qianye Ying''er purred in a pleasant dream and hugged Huo Yuhao instinctively. Chapter 141: Underworld War: Part 1 Chapter 141: Underworld War: Part 1 --- Chapter 141 --- Soft. Huo Yuhao slowly awakened from his slumber and felt marshmallow-like softness hugging him. He blinked a few times and saw a golden-haired youngdy in his embrace, smiling because this new life of his became better and better each second. ''I''m living the best of my life here.'' Hemented while giving Qianye Ying''er a peck on the forehead. Qianye Ying''er furrowed her brows slightly and purred happily, waking up from her pleasant dream. "Hmm~?" She looked at Huo Yuhao''s face and poked his cheek with her finger yfully. "Hehe, that was such a great dream~!" Huo Yuhaoughed andmented, "It''s not a dream." "Eh?" Qianye Ying''er suddenly felt an intense sore in her lower half and groaned slightly. She hissed and watched Huo Yuhao shake his head, helping her from this miserable condition. Huo Yuhao wanted to use senzu bean, but Qianye Ying''er refused to say her self-recovery was enough. The youngdy breathed in, circting the energy in her abdomen. Qianye Ying''er blushed hard and mumbled, "Um, my lord... I mean, Yuhao." "You know, this is my first time." "And I was a little wild." "Don''t worry." Huo Yuhao patted her head gently. "I don''t dislike it, Ying''er. You were so adorable one hour ago." Qianye Ying''er buried her head in Huo Yuhap''s chest and inhaled his manly scent. "Can we stay like this for a while? I need some time to recover my stamina." She whispered to him. "Everything for my little Ying''er." Huo Yuhao returned calmly. ... ... Qianye Ying''er recovered her stamina by converting light elements and Spirit Energy into vitality. The effect of "Milluple Cultivation." helped her reach level 99 by having a sexual connection with Huo Yuhao, which felt like cheating. She breathed in, wondering how potent Huo Yuhao''s energy was because she reached level 93 Title Douluo before doing the deed. The quality of his bloodline and vitality is much higher than everyone''s. It''s ridiculous but simply a fact. Huo Yuhao''s innate perks are growing alongside his journey, affecting his monstrous growth in the past seven years. He possessed more reservoirs of Spirit Energy, Mental Energy, and Bloodline Energy than everyone in the Dragon Nest. Their qualities are also insanepared to your typical Spirit Master. Only Huo Yun''er and Huang Yuna couldpare to him in the bloodline department, but that was years ago when he focused on conquering the new continent. Now? He won not just by quality but also quantity. And Huo Yuhao still trained himself to the bone like no tomorrow. Huo Yuhao''s training routine is literally self-torturing, putting extreme pressure on every cell and atom of his body. ''Jumping six levels instantly when raising one is like climbing a massive mountain. Am I daydreaming again?'' Qianye Ying''er stared at the blue-haired young man. Frankly, Huo Yuhao looks like a young adult, and with those sses off? No one couldpare this charming godly being. "What''s wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smirk. "Haven''t you seen your handsome fiance without sses?" Qianye Ying''er pouted and countered, "Hmph, I am!" "You better wear those sses in public because annoying flies always approach you." "Sure." Huo Yuhao hugged Qianye Ying''er from behind, remembering why he wasing here. He used Ruler Authority and picked the Pika Pika no Mi from the table. "Here, eat this. This fruit is called Concept Fruit and allows the person who ate it toprehend, evolve, and use Concept freely." Qianye Ying''er tilted her head and looked at the bright-looking banana with a confused gaze. She picked it and peeled the banana, ncing at Huo Yuhao with realization. "Hehe, I see~!" She peeled the banana slowly. Qianye Ying''er ced the banana on her pink lips and teased, "Such a big and long banana. It must be delicious." "But, Ying''er is a good girl." "Don''t y around, Ying''er." Huo Yuhao sent a karate chop on Qianye Ying''er head. "Trust me. You don''t want to make me too excited right now because we had a lot of things to do." "Bleh~!" Qianye Ying''er pursed her lips and stuck her tongue out. ... ... After gaining and consuming the Concept Fruit, Qianye Ying''er sensed a strange change in her body because the light seemed to be one with her. Nothing changed much outside, but everything rted to light was much more familiar than before. Qianye Ying''er thought she possessed a high mastery over the light element but was proven wrong as Pika Pika no Mi allowed her toprehend the Concept of Light to a greater level. Even her body could be light. How bizarre. "Hmm..." Qianye Ying''er turned the tip of her finger into pure light. "Wait... Does this affect my martial soul?" Huo Yuhao walked out of the shower andmented, "Check your battle g and soul bell, Ying''er. It''s not proven yet, but the Concept Fruits could affect one''s soul slowly." "Concept Fruits used to possess the previous user''s will, but I have cleansed it. In theory, Martial Soul Second Awakening is possible." "Also, congrattions on bing the youngest Demi-God." He added while sitting on the chair. Qianye Ying''er realized what Huo Yuhao meant. After all, she was the youngest member of the Dragon Nest, who joined the world-conquering n. Yes, Qianye Ying''er is two months younger than Huo Yuhao. "Thank you, Yuhao~!" She smiled and let out a giggle. Huo Yuhao gently shook his head and returned, "It''s just part of my responsibility." [Name: Qianye Ying''er] [Age: 13] [Gender: Female] [Race: Ancient Holy Human, Archangel(+), Dragon Saintess(+)] [Cultivation: Level 99/Demi-God] [Martial Soul: Brilliant Dragon g(9+), Brahma Goddess Bell(4+)] [Description: The greatest believer of Huo Yuhao''s religion] Qianye Ying''er summoned her martial souls, staring at them with a surprised gaze. Her holy dragon battle g changed entirely with a white-gold pole and pure white g embroidered with a dragon''s head-like pattern using ck-golden thread. She looked at her other hand and saw the formerly Brahma Soul Bell turning into a small yet beautiful golden bell with a carving of the faceless goddess on the outside. It''s a spiritual-type martial soul transnted into Qianye Ying''er body with 100%patibility, but now the connection is 150%. ''No wonder my Mental Energy reached the Spirit Domain Realm...'' She could onlyugh at this ridiculousness. Qianye Ying''er could have used the God-yer Hundred to be a few good hours, but the Concept of Light Fruits helped her step into godhood. It''s all because of Huo Yuhao''s help. Even though Qianye Ying''er already believed in Huo Yuhao with all her heart, this act of kindness pushed her loyalty and affection to an rming point. "Looks like you two are having fun without me." A voice suddenly appeared in the room. Qianye Ying''er turned around and saw Scathach leaning on the wall, watching them with a meticulous gaze. The golden-haired youngdy wasn''t intimidated and grinned at the god-yer. "Teacher, I''m not a virgin anymore. Suck that up!" Qianye Ying''er gave Scathach a peace sign, making the red-eyed woman''s mouth twitch in annoyance. With this, Scathach couldn''t bully her anymore. Scathach faked a cough and responded, "W-Well, congrattions, I suppose." Huo Yuhao watched thedies and told them to get along as the Devils would start attacking Hades and his realm tomorrow. However, Scathach only frowned and dropped a bomb of fact. "What do you mean by tomorrow? It''s today, you sleepy head." Scathachmented, which left Qianye Ying''er speechless. "Well, it''s your fault for having too much fun without being aware of your surroundings." "Uh..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t believe his ears for a second. He was "actually." flustered because Sister Daydream and other contracted souls had warned him about this. He wore his sses again andughed, "Betterte than never, hehe." Scathach rolled her eyes and dragged them out of the room, witnessing a massive wave of devils under the floating ind. The devil n''s leader has been waiting for Huo Yuhao, expecting his order to attack the Realm of the Dead. Huo Yuhao fixed his cor and stepped into everyone''s view. Everyone was immediately greeting him. Grayfia and Kuroka teleported to his side and stared down calmly. "Glory to your majesty, Goetia-sama~!!" "Glory to your majesty, Goetia-sama~!!" "Glory to your majesty, Goetia-sama~!!" Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, "Good, all of you are here." "Fia, assign every position I have nned to the devil ns." "Yes, Yuhao-sama." Grayfia nodded, giving every devil n a position in this iing war. The devil kings would be on the frontline with Extra Devil ns. Meanwhile, the 72 Devil ns will be the support and clearing force when Hades''s Realm of the Dead fall into chaos. Of course, they couldn''t leave the Devil Realm alone without protection, so Huo Yuhao ordered a Dragon Nest member in the human realm toe over here. Murong Qianxue and several other powerhouses arrived yesterday morning, adapting to the surroundings enough to familiarize themselves with a potential ambush attack from Hades. You might think, why doesn''t the Dragon Nest attack alongside the Devils? It''s simple. It''s the war for Devil Race. They wanted to free Lilith from Hades''s grasp and conquer the Underworld, leaving no influence behind. Azazel and Micheal will handle the meeting problem with Olympus as Hades''s brother wouldn''t leave the Devil Race alone. Huo Yuhao stretched his neck slightly and activated the True Daemon''s mode. His skin darkened a little, and the blue hair started to lose color into ashen white. Everyone gulped when seeing this, especially the devil n''s leader, as Huo Yuhao''s act in the second meeting was still fresh in their mind. "This is the day the Devils be the one and only ruler of the Underworld. We shall attack the Realm of Dead and its governor Hades, freeing Lilith, the Mother of all Devils, from him." "DEVIL, WILL YOU FOLLOW ME?!" "YES, YOUR MAJESTY!" They responded immediately. Huo Yuhaoughed and continued, "KILL HADES AND FREE LILITH!" "KILL HADES AND FREE MOTHER OF ALL DEVILS!!" "KILL HADES AND FREE MOTHER OF ALL DEVILS!!" "KILL HADES AND FREE MOTHER OF ALL DEVILS!!" ''How easy...'' Tian Mengmented from the spiritual sea. ''Well, understandable considering an existence called Devil God is standing before them.'' Bing Di observed the sea of devils and added, ''This is overkill. I don''t know how strong Hades was, but Scathach should be enough to beat him, no?'' Eluxia chuckled because Tian Meng and Bing Di were clueless about Scathach''s strength. Even she, the Cmity Necromancer, couldn''t decode the things called Primordial Rune. Someone with mastery of such a thing is never simple. ''Yuhao, do you need my help? My light element will be Hades''s archnemesis.'' She asked, knowing what answer it would be from Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Thanks, teacher." "But I want the Devil Race to shine in this war." "Not to mention, I can''t let my teacher be bored of her enemy, right?" "Just watch and enjoy the war." Chapter 142: Underworld War: Part 2 Chapter 142: Underworld War: Part 2 --- Chapter 142 --- The Devil Race is one of many races in this world. They lived peacefully for the past 300 years with some horrible choices of actions here and there hidden in the shadows. It changedtely because the devil races surrendered under a new sovereign. And that new Sovereign is The one and only Devil God, Ars Goetia. Today, the supreme ruler of the devils marched toward the Realm of the Dead to defeat Hades and release the mother of all devils. ... ... Serafall Leviathan watched a massive white magic circle covering the sky and recognized this as teleportation magic, but never at this ridiculous scale. "The amount of concentration and control one had to possess for achieving such a feat is... Hard." Ajuka Beelzebubmented casually. "We have over 580.000 devils participating in this war, so teleporting them all in one motion usually will exhaust energy and even suck one''s life dry." He smiled and added, "Yet, that just shows us how amazing he is." "I can attempt to do it, but my demonic power will get reduced in 2/3 instantly," Sirzechs said while shaking his head. "Creating a teleporting circle isn''t the problem. What matters is that you have to warp space and time correctly, so none of the targets got injured in the journey." Falbium nodded and added, "Yeah... I know some cases when young devils'' imagination went wild when using teleportation magic and cut themselves in the process." "Well, that was one hundred years ago." The n leaders overheard the devil king''s conversation and reacted somewhat differently. They are either awed or frightened by Huo Yuhao''s prowess, but this is nothingpared to his past achievements. ''At age six, my beloved student transported a fleet of ships thousands of miles away. What you guys witnessed just now is only the tip of the iceberg.'' Scathach thought while puffing her chest proudly. It might sound unbelievable, but Huo Yuhao did it. Huo Yuhao''s lesser divine sense covered the whole area of the Underworld, reaching the Realm of the Dead''s border. A ce where dead souls are sorted and transported to heaven when their karma is purged clean. There is also a ce called Cocytus or Ice Hell, the deepest part of the Underworld, where dangerous criminals and creatures are "thoughtfully." imprisoned. "Found it." Huo Yuhao''s eyes shone dimly. He snapped his fingers and teleported everyone on the border of Hades''s Realm. Huo Yuhao still floated in the sky and cast a Primordial Rune barrier around the Realm of the Dead, preventing outside breach after their attacks. He doesn''t want someone to camp them up from behind. That would be a bothersome scenario. "Yuhao-sama, everyone is ready." Grayfia Lucifuge reported, giving him a t gaze. Huo Yuhao noticed something weird about his maid and asked, "Is there something wrong, Fia? You''re more expressionless than usual." Grayfia stared at Huo Yuhao and replied, "I don''t know what you are talking about, Yuhao-sama. This loyal maid of yours has always been like this." Seeing her reaction, Huo Yuhao finally understood that Grayfia Lucifuge was jealous. Even though the silver-haired maid has been acting peaceful and collected outside, who wouldn''t be mad when your idol doesn''t pay attention to you? Grayfia gets it. There is a vast difference between her and Huo Yuhao. However, Grayfia also hoped they could be closer and more intimate. That''s just her little wish. And to be honest, Huo Yuhao was at fault here for not paying attention to Grayfia. After the ascend, He handed the devil council works to her and even told her to cook every day. ''I have be such a horrible scumbag...'' Huo Yuhao sighed inside. Huo Yuhao should have learned from Huo Yun''er case with the White Tiger Duke about how abandonment could lead to a bad situation. It would cause a negative impact physically and mentally. He looked at Grayfia and said, "I''m sorry." "I''ll pay more attention and treat you better." "Eh?" Grayfia was caught off guard. She was flustered and told Huo Yuhao never to feel sorry. "Don''t be like this, Yuhao-sama." "It''s not your fault at all." Huo Yuhao patted Grayfia''s head and added, "How about a date in Kyoto? I''ll introduce you to my mother." "What do you think?" "D-Date..." Grayfia mumbled to herself, her cheeks flushed in slight redness. ''How cute.'' Huo Yuhao chuckled while pulling the Leviathan Axe and Guardian Shield. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er flew to Huo Yuhao''s side, manifesting their martial souls. They are ready to beat some bad guys in Hades''s Realm. "There is a boundary between the Underworld and the Realm of the Dead," Scathachmented lightly. "I can break it, but the space around us will be unstable." Qianye Ying''er shrugged and added, "That also applies to me. My current light element will burn everything rted to dark and evil, so breaking the boundary is a no for me." "I see..." Huo Yuhao eyed the boundary, smirking because he has a perfect individual for this job. "Fia,e here." Under Qianye Ying''er and Scathach''s gazes, Grayfia floated to Huo Yuhao silently. He instructed the maid to summon her martial soul and brought it closer to him. Since Grayfia only absorbed spirit rings into one martial soul at the time, she is more prominent in Time Maniption. A perfectbination with Huo Yuhao''s Space Maniption. "Well, let''s see howpatible we are, Fia." Huo Yuhao observed the ck handgun and grabbed it with his hand. SWOOSH! Massive Spirit Energy suddenly erupted in the sky. Scathach squinted her eyes and watched the Chains of Heaven manifest like dancing snakes around Huo Yuhao. "This is..." "Spirit Fusion?" Spirit Fusion is the ability of two or more Spirit Masters with simr or corresponding properties to fuse and be one entity orbine their Spirits to form a skill, bringing out explosive power for a short period depending on the strength of the Spirit Masters. Still, Spirit Fusion is awfully rare and requires Spirit Harmonization. The degree of Spirit Harmonization reflects on the final output power of the Spirit Fusion. A silver-haired woman with Heterochromia blue and red eyes, having wings made of ck chains on her back. She wore a simple white robe with a blue ribbon, releasing a noble aura. ''Is this how Yuhao-sama felt every day? So powerful it feels like the world is moving ording to my desire. With a simple hand gesture, even this world...'' Grayfia blinked a few times and lifted her hand. "World-Severing Goddess Manifestation." She drew a handgun out of nowhere and pulled its trigger with ease. "Trigger Off: World Crisis." Scathach''s eyes widened because a tube-like bullet escaped her vision and flew past the army, reaching the boundary of Hades''s Realm. It pierced through the fabric of space and time, creating a giant entrance or spider web-like crack in the air. BOOOM! CRACK! "Oh, so this is Grayfia''s full potential." Scathach eyed the goddess-like manifestation before her. "Even though Huo Yuhao powered her with his Spirit Energy and Chains of Heaven, her future wouldn''t be too shabby." "Not bad." The tube-like bullet executed by Huo Yuhao and Grayfia Lucifuge''s Spirit Fusion established the passage to Hades''s Realm, allowing the devil race to march without a problem. They also dealt surprise damage, considering anything on the other side gets annihted by temporal and spatial storms. That attack possibly could injure 1st ss Ranked God. After all, breaching time and space is dangerous, even for higher dimensional beings. The Spirit Fusion turned off shortly after, revealing a heavy-breathing Grayfia. She coughed profusely, feeling dehydrated and exhausted as if she had been working for months without consuming anything. She might be a pure-blooded devil, but this was something else. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao barely sweats. He looked at the silver-haired maid wryly and said, "It''s your first time, so understandable that you are exhausted." ''Phrasing!'' Tian Meng said while lifting one eyebrow. "Here, take this bean." Huo Yuhao ignored Tian Meng and gave Grayfia a senzu bean to recover her stamina. "Thanks, Yuhao-sama." Grayfia ate the Senzu Bean. Huo Yuhao gave Scathach a signal and shouted, "My people, MARCH FORWARD!" "THIS IS FOR OUR GLORY!" "FOR LILITH!" "FOR GLORY!" The army under the n''s leader shouted back. "FOR LILITH!!" Scathach jumped to the frontline with the devil kings and led everyone into Hades''s Realm. Since this attack was a surprise, there weren''t many of Hades''s subordinates (Grim Reapers) greeting them. The God yer waved her treasured red spear and yed everything before her eyes. She scouted the area, telling the devil kings and the devil n''s leaders to sweep clean the rest. Huo Yuhao waited at the entrance and tried to detect any possible anomaly. After everything was under control, he stepped into the Realm of the Dead, a wastnd with no living creatures. "That should be the case, but this is disgusting..." He watched Scathach facing the newly-reincarnated devils. "Just how long have Hades been creating new devils?" "100? 300 years?" "Yuhao, you might want to see this." Scathach used her spiritual voice. Huo Yuhao focused his Observation Haki on the location Scathach shared and saw an unknown-looking devil. There is also this skeletal-like being standing beside it. Hades has the appearance of a tall skeleton dressed in attire worn by high priests, which gives off a creepy aura. Despite having no eyes, his eye sockets can glow to give the appearance of eyes. ''This presence... Dark Lich with unbounded divinity.'' Eluxia frowned when sensing Hades. "Bats..." Hades grumbled in anger. "What does this mean?" "How dare you attack my realm!" "You have be so arrogant with the new ruler you had, huh?!" Hades struck his Skeleton Staff and created numerous magic circles enhanced with divine aura, firing abination of fire spears and lightning bolts at the devil army. The devil kings countered with their powers, resisting the divine-powered attacks with slight difficulty. Only Sirzechs and Ajuka could stand while protecting the army behind them. Serafall and Falbium have a slight problem because Hades''s attacks are spreading too much. The Extra Devil ns'' leaders went forward and supported the magic defense. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "I''ll start with you." The devil beside Hades suddenly disappeared and charged Sirzechs with a silver energy beam. "You fake Lucifer..." Sirzechs couldn''t react because he was countering Hades''s magic with the Power of Destruction and watched the silver beam reach his chest, sending him flying several meters away. Grayfia''s red eyes shook and became colder when seeing this devil. She clenched her hands and furiously shouted, "EUCLID!" "SO YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HADES ALL THIS TIME?!!" Grayfia is angry. And that''s because of her younger brother. Euclid Lucifuge doesn''t want to follow Lucifer''s Last Will with her, so she banishes him. He disappeared from the world without an ounce of presence. She won''t be mad if Euclid lives peacefully, but he chooses to work with Hades and experiment with Lilith''s body. Now it was clear how Hades could gain ess to Lilith. Euclid should have shown Hades the secret of Lucifuge''s n, the loyal followers of the original Lucifer. "Go." Huo Yuhao suddenly pushed Grayfia. "Beat your brother up. I''ll handle the rest." Grayfia solemnly nodded and replied, "I''ll be back, Yuhao-sama." Hades looked at Huo Yuhao and silently chanted his magic, testing how sturdy the rumored blue-haired monster was. Huo Yuhao noticed the divine-powered magic circle appearing one after another near him. The effect of this iing attack is around 5 miles radius, capable of killing Soul Douluo instantly. "Hmm..." Huo Yuhao''s eyes scanned the magic circles and disabled them before Hades couldunch them. He pointed his finger at Hades with a gun-like gesture and chanted, "Chaos God yer Magic." "Magic Bullets." Hades''s glowy eyes widened because several bullets made of demonic powers suddenly appeared. He created a barrier and was speechless as the firepower exceeded his expectations. "I thought he was a swordsman?" "He is actually quite skilled in magic." Huo Yuhao smirked at Hades and said, "Watch out for your head." "Huh??" Hades read Huo Yuhao''s lips and noticed a purple-haired woman appearing with a red spear. A chill spread in his skeleton body, having a red sh blowing his skull off. BOOM! Scathach called for Gae Bolg Alternative andmented, "Oh, He didn''t die?" Hades appeared fifty meters away from Scathach and breathed out nervously. That was dangerous. That attack made him feel chill, which should be impossible. "Zeno, you dealt with her. I have to prepare something." Hades ordered his loyal subordinate. A skeleton in a white robe and hood appeared, brandishing his scythe with darkness. "Yes, my lord." The grim reaper responded. Scathach tilted her head and questioned, "Hmm, Grim Reaper?" "Do you think this small fry is enough to defeat me?" "This is so insulting to my pride." "I''ll send you to the afterlife." Zeno pointed his scythe at Scathach. Scathach frowned and returned, "You have thick skin for a skinless creature." BOOM! And just like that, the war between the Devil Race and Hades has begun. Chapter 143: Underworld War: Part 3 Chapter 143: Underworld War: Part 3 --- Chapter 143 --- "This is going to take a while." Minamoto no Raikou yed Hades''s subordinate with her katana, ripping through a wave of reincarnated devils. She breathed out and watched the neverending horde of the enemy stepping out from a hole. She frowned and contacted Huo Yuhao about this, telling the blue-haired young man to check it. "I''ll be there in a moment." Huo Yuhao casually responded while facing Hades. The God of the Dead, one of the Trinity Gods of Olympus. Even though Huo Yuhao faced the Biblical God in the Great War before, the concept of divinity in this world is very vague. Is it the origin of all things or the literal embodiment of it? Hades is not weak. He possessed the power of 2nd ss God based on Douluo Dalu''s standard, but something about him was weird. ording to Eluxia, Hades''s Origin Soul is far different than other divine beings. It''s not rted to death, for sure. "Blue-Eyed Dragon, no Bat God. What the hell do you think? Do you think my ce is so simple to attack?" Hades suddenly screams, making Huo Yuhao smile a little. Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and returned, "Don''t y dumb with me, Hades. You not only imprisoned Lilith and used her for your disgusting personal gain! No way in hell Devil will leave you alone." "I, the Supreme Ruler of the Devils, dered war against the God of the Dead, Hades!" Hades''s burning eyes flickered andughed because a mere leader of bats dared to threaten him. He lifted the skeleton staff and whispered a magic spell, causing the space to warp around them. Huo Yuhao flicked his fingers and canceled the magic spell, creating a spider web-like crack in the air. He twisted his left hand slightly and used Chaos God yer Magic to swarm Hades with demonic-powered light. BOOM! Hades frowned because Huo Yuhao had canceled his magic twice at this point. He thought the first cancetion was a fluke as the magic circle couldn''t form in time. ''Huo Yuhao, or what these disgusting bats knew as Ars Goetia, probably possessed all the devil n''s abilities. That includes Lucifer''s powers and Belial''s troublesome Worthless.'' He dodged the demonic-powered light and got caught off guard when bullet-like energy pierced his shoulder. BAM! Hades staggered on the spot and cursed, "Damn bat... He used a blindspot in these flurry of attacks." Unknown to Hades, Huo Yuhao was never serious about his offense and lowered his overall strength. He didn''t use anything special besides Chaos God yer Magic, powered by his True Daemon''s demonic power. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao still sealed his power. Hades was about to prepare another magic spell and felt a breeze on his left side. Scathach struck Soul Breaking Spear into Zeno''s skull and killed the grim reaper permanently, destroying the soul of Hades''s subordinate. "Y-You..." Hades was angered when seeing this. Scathach pulled the ck spear from Zeno''s skull andmented, "This is not fun. Bring me a stronger opponent, Hades." "I, Scathach, demanded a joyful battle." Hearing that, Hades released a massive divine aura and made the Realm of the Dead tremble violently. His skeleton staff shone brightly with purple light, causing Scathach to smile a little. "Grim Curse..." A magical scythe appeared and shed the air near Scathach. Scathach tilted her head and sensed something spiritual from Hades''s attack, kicking the Soul Breaking Spear at him. BAM! CLANK! Hades ced the skeleton staff and received the Soul Breaking Spear with defensive magic. Crack! The defensive magic cracked because of the sheer pressure, but that wasn''t enough to make Hades nervous. He added another divine-powered magic spell and sent the spear back at Scathach. "Gravity Cannon!" Scathach caught the Soul Breaking Spear and watched the air around them shaking. She breathed in, feeling an invisible force sweep over the area like a tsunami. BOOM! The invisible force also swept everyone in a one-kilometer radius, attacking foe and friend blindly. This attack also scattered the devil army to different ces in the Realm of the Dead, separating every group randomly, Scathach quickly called for her Gae Bolg Alternative and struck the ground firmly, not allowing a gravity cannon to push her away. She used Universal Breathing Technique and manifested a white half-mask on her face. Hades lifted the skeleton staff and dered, "Pluto, Thanatos kill that purple-haired wench for me!" "Yes, Hades-sama!" Two cloaked grim reapers appeared from thin air. "Oh, two-on-one now? Well, It bes pretty interesting." Scathach stretched her hand, grabbing the ck and red spears to fight Hades''s Subordinate. BAM! Scathach kicked the ground and appeared on Thanatos''s side, thrusting an intent-powered red spear at the grim reaper''s chest. We are talking about one hit kill spear thrust. "Gae Bolg." BOOOOM! Pluto reacted instinctively to save his fellow grim reaper and ced a scythe on Scathach''s spear path. He underestimated the power of Scathach''s Gae Bolg. Hades''s eyes widened in realization. "That spear!" He shouted in horror. "Thanatos, abandon your body now!" "Toote." Scathach''s Gae Bolg Alternative flew through Pluto''s Scythe and pierced through Thanatos''s chest, cing a deadly curse on the grim reaper. Thanatos was struck clean into a wall, coughing blood profusely because of a thorn-like sensation spreading from his chest. He couldn''t breathe nor utilize his grim reaper''s power too. "1st Spirit Ring: Immortality Severing." Scathach clenched her hand into a fist, causing nine red spirit rings to manifest on her back. "ARGH!" Thanatos screamed, trying his best to survive this torture. However, it was a futile attempt. Scathach now is far differentpared to her past self. She grew stronger after meeting Huo Yuhao and developed apact of deadly techniques to secure her victory. So, No matter what or who her enemy is, she''ll y them with her spear. Her first spirit ring alone allowed her to sever one''s immortality and caused cursed wounds. The cultivation of Douluo Dalu''s Universe boosted Scathach''s former strength to a greater height, allowing her to do many things she couldn''t do in the past. It''s starting with new martial arts and an undiscovered field of magecraft. "Is the Celtic Faction also part of this attack?" Hades grumbled while ring at Scathach. He finally recognized the famous god-ying weapon wielded by Warrior Queen Scathach. Everyone believed the legendary treasure weapon had disappeared alongside the owner, knowing Scathach didn''t have a descendant or disciple to pass it away. Hades also heard a strange rumor that Gae Bolg had the same value as True Longinus. "Drive her to Cocytus!" Hades ordered his grim reaper. "We can''t let someone with Gae Bolg escape the Realm of the Dead. It would be a vital mistake and error for our nter." Pluto nodded and approached Scathach solemnly, having jet-ck energy covering his body. He picked up the death scythe and shed with Scathach. BOOM! Scathach was amused and countered every move from Pluto. She pulled out a new Gae Bolg Alternative and started to y around with this grim reaper, moving far away to the Realm of the Dead. Hades sighed in relief, forgetting something important. "You shouldn''t have forgotten about me, Hades." Huo Yuhao suddenly grabbed Hades''s shoulder. "What makes you so confident and arrogant to move your eyes from your opponent." "Huh?" Hades felt an unknown pressure and groaned in pain, having Huo Yuhao''s willpower overwhelm everyone in the area. It''s not a simple presence but a deration of a true ruler. Huo Yuhao''s Conqueror Haki red like no tomorrow, flooding every corner of the Realm of the Dead. No one could move as they could sense a literal Death on their neck. Hades shivered and gazed into Huo Yuhao''s eyes, feeling something weird in his head. "How..." He suddenly whispered in fear. "This is impossible." "Just what are you??" Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Well, that''s not important for someone who is going to die soon." "I had to say... You''re quite strong, Hades." "But not strong enough." Releasing his seals, Huo Yuhao caused the Realm of the Dead to be wrecked ships. His power exploded through the roof and rmed everyone in the area. "Die, Hades." He grabbed Hades''s neck and lifted him. Hades abruptlyughed and dropped his skeleton staff, having one brief moment before his death. "Me, Die? What a joke." "I''m not alone here, Bat God." Huo Yuhao pped something because his Observation Haki weirdly reacted. BAM! Hades was released from Huo Yuhao''s grasp, hovering in the air with a weird-looking book. There are also two individuals with Super Devil''s aura rivaling Grayfia Lucifuge before her martial soul awakening. "They are... Artificial Devils?" Huo Yuhaomented while looking at his hand. A faint demonic power was "weirdly." left behind by the new subordinate of Hades. The first Super Devil is a muscr youth with bronze hair. The other Super Devil is a girl in herte teens with long jade-green hair. "Why are you two taking so long?" Hades indifferently questioned. The muscr youth kept an emotionless face and replied, "Sorry, Master. We have to fight the Chaos Karma Dragon on the way here. She is stronger than I expected, so I had to use 30% of my power." The teen girl nodded and added, "Yes, Yes. Fighting Tiamat is a lot of surprises." Huo Yuhao tried to contact Tiamat using telepathy but couldn''t gain any response from the other side. He used his divine sense and saw a blue-scaled Dragon with a hole in her chest. ... ... "Oy..." Huo Yuhao''s voice is unbearably cold for some reason. "Grit your teeth." Hades, Balberith, and Verrine gasped on the spot. They couldn''t muster the strength to stand up properly, feeling a heavy weight on their bodies. Huo Yuhao walked to Balberith and punched the artificial Super Devil in the guts. Hades blinked and watched his long-created product turn into blood mist. "Hakai..." The Concept of Destruction erased Balberith from existence Verrine mindlessly stared at her brother getting killed instantly and felt the warm blood running down her face. Huo Yuhao doesn''t even stare at her eyes, but those devilish eyes seem to kill her over a thousand times. "Stop." A firm hand grabbed Huo Yuhao''s hand. Huo Yuhao nced at the person, seeing a handsome young man appearing in his mid-twenties with ck hair. He wears a ck cloak, and his body gives out a dark aura. "Erebus!" Hades shouted the handsome young man''s name. Erebus stared at Huo Yuhao and said, "Stop Blue-Eyed Dragon. It''s your defeat." "I don''t care about your motive, but hell isn''t a ce you can invade so easily. As long as I''m still patient, I order you to retreat with your army." "Oh, but... I wanted that red-eyed woman with Gae Bolg to stay. She killed one of my creations." "Are you done?" Huo Yuhao returned indifferently. "Hmm?" Erebus tilted his head. "I see... Just another insect to kill." Huo Yuhao lifted Erebus''s hand and caused the Primordial God of Darkness to furrow his brow. His other hand grasped Erebus''s face and mmed him to the ground. BOOOOOOOOOOOM! The sheer strength Huo Yuhao used to m the Primordial God was enough to shake the whole Realm of Hades. Erebus never felt so humiliated and wanted to pay Huo Yuhao back by killing him with a dark spear. CRACK! The spear made of darkness shattered upon meeting Huo Yuhao''s skin. "WHAT??!" [The Child of Genesis was in effect] [Reduce Darkness Elemental Attack by 90%] "Harden your face." Huo Yuhao lifted his feet off the ground. BOOM! Huo Yuhao kicked Erebus and sent him to the upper domain, shaking Mount Olympus. Several gods approached the source and saw The Primordial God of Darkness, Erebus, with a broken jaw and disfigured face. He grinned coldly and turned around, "Don''t worry." "Hades, you''ll follow him soon." Chapter 144: Underworld War: Last Part Chapter 144: Underworld War: Last Part --- Chapter 144 --- Huo Yuhao was annoyed. He was also a little bit pissed. Even though Huo Yuhao nned everything and confidently believed in his army''s abilities, the opposing forces somehow could counter the devil army. Of course, everything would be over if Huo Yuhao used his strength from the beginning and went ham on Hades. However, that would be a pointless attempt to show Devil Race''s Merits. That''s why Scathach tries to enjoy the fight despite lowering her strength to an awful level. Her spear strikes literally could blow the Realm of the Dead in chaos, which is a big no-no. After the Underworld War, the Devil Race''s training program needed to be changed. "Don''t worry..." "Hades, You''ll follow that insect soon." Huo Yuhao indifferently sighed, staring at the terrified Hades tly. "Good for you because I''ll break this ce apart..." Huo Yuhao summoned the Chains of Heaven, mentallymanding a thousand ck chains with ancient golden characters to destroy Hades''s realm from the ground to every corner of this ce. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The realm of the Dead violently trembled as if a massive earthquake had happened in this ce. With half his seals released, Huo Yuhao doesn''t hold back and ttens everything rted to Hades. Hades'' ritual altar. Hades''s Shrine. Hades Castle. Even Hades''s small garden. Hades watched everything he had built be tnd, falling to the ground in despair. He couldn''t say anything because Huo Yuhao could kill him anytime with this ridiculous power. Those chains'' presence is enough to make Hades tremble like his existence is being ripped apart by just standing near them. Chains of Heaven destroyed not only the ground but also the personal space Hades created in the past years. Any magic barrier bes useless because Huo Yuhao''s 1st Spirit Ring on Chain of Heaven is Spatial Maniption and Wormhole, so breaking the space is the first thing he learned when getting this Spirit Ring from Quest''s Reward. The devils, who survived Hades''s Magic, stared at this scenery with dumbfounded looks. They couldn''t believe their eyes because something like this was beyondmon sense. Yes, even in the supernatural world''s standard. In the first ce, only some individuals could realistically destroy the Realm of the Dead. And they are either god-ss or monstrous being like Ophis. They always saw Huo Yuhao as a tyrannical and cold ruler with incredible strength, but this was the first time the devil could figure out the mark of his greatness. A clear peek into his full power. After destroying everything rted to Hades, Huo Yuhao ordered one Chain of Heaven to wrap around the God of the Dead''s neck. "KUUGH!" Hades groaned in surprise. He tried to fight back the Chains of Heaven''s effect with his divine aura, but it was useless. Chains of Heaven is an Anti-Divine weapon that holds the concept of "Reign over the Gods." the strength and durability of the chain grow stronger with the target having higher Divinity. Huo Yuhao developed and molded the Chains of Heaven to be the ultimate binding weapon, suppressing everything. Yes, he wasn''t satisfied with just subduing Divine Beings. He wanted more than that because his enemy won''t be just a god. There are thousands of monsters with world-destroying strength without any divinity outside there. Hades began to feel his Divinity getting suppressed and weakened as he was only a magician. Without Divine Aura, he lost or debuffed his magic spell by 200%. He might have some powerful magic spell, but they wouldn''t be able to touch Huo Yuhao. And Erebus''s attack was nullified by Huo Yuhao. "T-This..." Hades groaned on the ground. "Y-You devoured my magical energy too!" Huo Yuhao nced at Hades and replied, "I have quite a big stomach, you see? I can''t let you die so easily too, so let Taotie have its meal." [You have absorbed Hades''s Magical Energy] [You have absorbed Hades''s Magical Energy] [You have absorbed Hades''s Magical Energy] [You have absorbed...] "Anyway, How is her situation, Kuroka?" Huo Yuhao contacted the ck-haired Nekoshou through telepathy. Kuroka checked Tiamat''s condition and replied, "She''s okay, the wounds might be big, but her regenerative power is working perfectly." "It would take 1-2 weeks to cover a hole in her chest, though." Hearing that, Huo Yuhao shouldn''t have killed Balberith so easily and tortured the artificial devil a bit more. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and continued, "Kuroka, elerate her healing factor with Senjutsu." Kuroka''s eyes widened and nodded, starting to flow Senjutsu Energy from her body to the Blue-Scaled Western Dragon. Even though she wasn''t as skilled as Huo Yuhao, she understood more than enough foundation to do this. After confirming Tiamat''s condition, Huo Yuhao overwhelmed the Realm of the Dead with his Conqueror Haki. He stunned enemies that don''t have a strong will, breaking their desire to fight. And for the artificial devil who was just recently born, it''s very effective. BOOM! Hades''s skull cracked because Huo Yuhao''s presence was much stronger than any Gods he knew. He clenched his jaws, waiting for backups toe. Erebus is defeated, but Hades has three more powerful Gods as his allies. "Shishou, finish that rat soon. You can have a better fight here." Huo Yuhao casuallymented while sensing three decently-strong presencesing toward him. He has Leviathan Axe on his back and Guardian Shield ready on his left wrist, ready to sabotage ambush attack. His Haki must have been a danger alert to these guys. BOOM! The space cracked and revealed three god-like beings. "I see... They are your little friends, huh?" He said while observing Hades''s allies. First is a phantom humanoid creature with a jet-ck body, a muscr build, glowing fire-like eyes, and horns on his head. His body also gives out a chaotic aura. The second ally is a hundred meters sphere with numerous eyes and tentacles. This guy''s body gives an unbelievable aura, and his presence also gives out a dark mist. Andst, a beautiful young woman with the cute face of a child, long ck hair, and pointy ears. She wears a cute frilly dress. Her body also gives out a tremendous dark aura like Erebus. Well, they are obviously rted. "Hades... What a worthless appearance you had there." Angra Mainyu, the phantom humanoid, said while gazing at Hades. Tartarus stayed in his position without uttering a word and focused on Huo Yuhao. Unlike other gods in the field, he could feel immense dangering from this blue-haired young man. It''s faint, but his innate aura is weirdly simr to Ophis and Great Red. "Where is Erebus..." Nyx looked around to find her brother. She couldn''t discover nor feel his presence in the Realm of the Dead. "Your brother is up there." Huo Yuhao lifted his finger. "I kicked his annoying face to the upper world, probably Mount Olympus." "..." Hades. "..." Angra Mainyu. "..." Tartarus. Nyx moved her gaze to Huo Yuhao and returned, "Why did you say?" Huo Yuhao grinned and repeated, "I kicked your insect-like brother to the sky. He''s so annoying, even threatening me to retreat and give my beloved Shishou to him." Nyx used Magic: Blink and appeared on Huo Yuhao''s side, ready to st him away with her darkness. However, Huo Yuhao lifted his elbow and mmed her face. "You-!" Nyx trembled in anger. BAM! "Too slow, Kid." Huo Yuhao kicked Nyx''s left rib before she could even finish her word. Angra Mainyu charged toward Huo Yuhao, preparing Light Magic and Dragon ying Magic. A weakness of Huo Yuhao because he was a Dragon God and also Devil God. Still, Angra Mainyu forgot something. Huo Yuhao wasn''t just Dragon God or Devil God. These are merely the title of his true self. "Light Dragon yer Magic: Evil Banishment." Angra Mainyu let out a white light. It traveled toward Huo Yuhao so fast and illuminated the area. BOOOOOM! A cloud of dust flew everywhere, but Huo Yuhao still stood on the spot without any injuries. He brushed the dust off his clothes and heard Evo''s notifications. [You have resisted Angra Mainyu''s Attack] [All Light Elements nullified by Child of Genesis''s Passive] True Ruler of Dragons'' Perk has nullified 75% of Dragon yer Magic] [Solomon Blessing has absorbed excessive Magical Energy] "IMPOSSIBLE!!" Angra Mainyu shouted in disbelief. "My magic is a literal archnemesis to you!!!" "Well, you clearly don''t know anything about me." Huo Yuhaomanded the Chains of Heaven to seal Angra Mainyu''s movement, sealing the Evil God of Persian Mythology in ce. CRACK! The gravity around Angra Mainyu increased by 200%, locking him there until Huo Yuhao allowed him to move. It caused the ground to crack and left a dent. "Don''t look down on me!" Nyx furiously charged her magical power and divine aura into this attack. Darkness began to form a spiral current in the area and swallowed everything before it. She looked at Huo Yuhao and shouted, "DIE!" Nyxughed madly because Huo Yuhao wouldn''t be able to survive this attack. She wanted to see his frightened and despairing expression. Huo Yuhao doesn''t even bother to stare at Nyx''s expression and waits for Scathach to appear. The spiral of darkness was about to swallow him, but it abruptly disappeared into nothingness. SWOOSH! Nyx''s attack was "literally." reced with thin air. "N-No way..." "My Darkness..." "It''s not even worth absorbing..." Huo Yuhao''s cold eyes gazed at Nyx. Nyx dropped to the ground and saw an ax stabbing her chest, freezing her in solid ice. Her expression is priceless, showing one''s despair and the loser''s will. "Dragon God, let''s peacefully settle this matter. I''ll show you Lilith''s ce and Hades''sboratory." Tartarus suddenly said. "I allied with Hades because we have amon enemy, a rampant Longinus User. So, fighting you weren''t part of my promise." "Toote, you stand on his side. You''re my enemy." Huo Yuhao responded emotionlessly. "And don''t worry. I won''t fight you, Tartarus." "Someone is on her way here to beat the shit out of you." BOOM! Scathach destroyed the ground and ascended with blood wings on her back. She saw Tartarus and immediately dragged the Primordial God of Abyss into her domain, a killing ground of warrior queens. Huo Yuhao walked to Hades and dragged the Chains of Heaven with his hand, pulling the God of the Dead to the upper realm. He walked there and tortured Hades with a burning Thunderfire. It was a slow burn, turning Hades''s soul into ash gradually. Hades''s cries could be heard in the entire Realm of the Dead, praying for forgiveness. And Huo Yuhao ignored him. "Oh, river? I hope you can swim, Hades." Huo Yuhao kicked Hades to the Styx River, drowning him with a burning sensation that never disappears because Thunderfire is a me that burns all evils. After several minutes, Huo Yuhao finally arrived on the border between the Realm of the Dead and Earth(Greece). He could see a temple and dragged Hades with a smile on his face. Everyone stared at them but couldn''t move for some reason. It''s fear. Huo Yuhao arrived at Mount Olympus and saw several Gods dropping from the sky. "What a warm wee I have here?" He greeted them while tossing half-dead Hades to the ground. BAM! "Hades has been proven to imprison Lilith(Mother of all Devils) and use her flesh to create Artificial Devils. His criminal record is as clear as the sky." "In conclusion, I''ll execute Hades in front of you to make an example. Don''t mess with my people." "Do you have a problem with this, Zeus?" Huo Yuhao stared at the most powerful God among the gods before him. It was a middle-aged man with a white beard and mustache, wearing a in toga. Zeus looked at Hades and then Huo Yuhao, sensing an incredible dangering from this blue-haired youth. His presence alone is suffocating him and other Olympian gods. They couldn''t stare at Huo Yuhao''s eyes, leaving only Zeus, Poseidon, Apollon, and Artemis in a tight spot. Those demonic blue eyes are terrifying. "No replies means Yes." Huo Yuhao summoned a Golden Sword from his Fifth Spirit Ring. A golden field with countless Golden Swords manifested around him, covering 2 kilometers radius of Olympus''snd. "Hades, The God of the Dead." "Your Divinity is based on Souls." "You have consumed millions over millions of dead souls, increasing your strength to do evil deeds. And with my sword, I shall bring justice forth!" Huo Yuhao swung his Golden Sword clean, leaving a half-moon arc that ys Hades''s skull off his skeleton body. Hades''s Divinity of Soul pletely." was stripped when Huo Yuhao activated his fifth spirit ring, making him no different than a mortal. The Olympian Gods closed their eyes, staring at the skull on the ground turning into ashes. Zeus and Poseidon are the only ones who look at their brother''s yed head. They are sad but also relieved. [You have killed Hades and Saved Lilith] [You have finished a Quest] [You have received Ashborn''s Spark(Brilliant Light), and 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket] "I''ll be back to Mount Olympuster. You have two choices." Huo Yuhao turned around, wanting to finish his job at the Underworld. "Surrender or Experience the same fate as Hades." SWOOSH! Huo Yuhao disappeared from the Olympian Land, erasing the suffocating presence. They finally could breathe at ease. "What should we do, Brother?" Poseidon asked Zeus. "Should we..." "Don''t even think about avenging Hades, Poseidon." Zeus closed his eyes and sighed in defeat. "As the Chief God of Olympus, I could feel several divinities from that person''s body." "Just one of his Divinity enough to burn us into ashes." "It''s an unknown yet monstrous source of power that I couldn''t recognize." "Then, we should surrender..." Athena finally opened her mouth. "We can call other God Factions, but they wouldn''t hear us. Olympus has been in a difficult spot after Uncle Hades left us." "As that person said, He''s not a very clean God. He has done atrocities left and right." "Athena..." Poseidon rubbed his temple. Zeus looked at the other Olympian Gods and said, "We will surrender Olympus to him. It''s not a matter of pride as you have witnessed that person''s strength." "Anyints?" ... Zeus nodded and stated, "Prepare for that person''s second advancement toward Olympus." Huo Yuhao returned to the Underworld and saw Tartarus getting stabbed by Scathach''s Gae Bolg Alternative. The Primordial God of Abyss''s size has been reduced to small slime, losing so much of his power. "You''re back?" Scathach used Soul Breaking Spear to lean on. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "We are over with Hades." "With this, I have conquered the Underworld." Huo Yuhao sighed and told the devil kings to clear this ce. "And there is more awaiting me out there." He looked at his subordinate and dered, "Everyone, this is our Victory." "GLORY FOR THE UNDERWORLD!" They responded with high spirits. "GLORY FOR THE DEVIL!" "GLORY FOR YOUR MAJESTY, GOETIA-SAMA!" At the same time, Huo Yun''er sipped her tea and looked at the Chinese Mythology''s Faction. "So, you wanted me to help you guys defeat the Blue-Eyed Dragon God?" She wanted to confirm their request. "Yes." The representative named Hou Yi replied firmly. Huo Yun''erughed in amusement and pped her hand on the chair a few times. It''s hrious. "Hou Yi, do you know my name?" She questioned the man with a bow on his back. Hou Yi frowned and answered, "The new Ruler of the Shinto Faction. Yae Sakura, isn''t it?" Huo Yun''er shook her head, shutting down every possible escape route with her illusion. "That''s just a facade I created." Shemented while lifting her finger. "My real name is Huo Yun''er." "The Mother of Huo Yuhao." "That can''t be!" Hou Yi was ready to draw his bow, but Huo Yun''er flicked her finger and created the illusion that swallowed Hou Yi''s entire well-being. "It can be, moron." Huo Yun''er giggled while staring at the corpse on the floor. "You can''t even endure 10.000 years of cold illusion. "How weak..." "You wanted me to help you defeat my beloved Hao''er?" "Kept dreaming... No one shall touch my Hao''er." Chapter 145: Emergency Quest Chapter 145: Emergency Quest --- Chapter 145 --- A day and a half passed after the Underworld was pletely." conquered by Huo Yuhao. And he bes busier than before, even with Grayfia''s help. Reforming the Realm of the Dead without changing its function is a very tough job to aplish quickly, needing countless magecrafts, runes, and magic to erase Hades''s influence over the dead soul. Hades''s Divinity of Soul is more annoying to erase than the Divinity of Death. That bastard is still irritating after his blessed end. Of course, The Realm of the Dead couldn''t be left behind without a governor or monarch, so Huo Yuhao appointed Murong Qianxue as the new leader of that ce. He believed Murong Qianxue possessed a firm discipline and the ability to reform the Realm of the Dead into a better ce. Well, a better ce is a long stretch because the Realm of the Dead is where sinful souls washed out their sins and karma until Heaven opened a door for them. Anyway, Huo Yuhao finally conquered both Heaven and Hell. "Yuhao-sama, I think you need some rest." Grayfia ced a cup of tea on the table. Huo Yuhao looked at his lovely maid and replied, "I only stayed up for one day and a half. It''s not a big deal, Fia. With my strong mind and physique, staying upte for a month won''t be a problem." "I also felt bad for dumping all the council work on you in thest four days." Grayfia Lucifuge felt a warm sensation in her chest but firmly shook her head and returned, "No, you shouldn''t feel bad. It''s my job as your servant." "Let the administration job to me, Yuhao-sama." "Please take a nap, even for a short time." Hearing Grayfia''s rants about his health, Huo Yuhao could only wryly smile because his training routine before going to this world is so brutalpared to staying up for 1.5 days. Even if he wanted to sleep, a brief and deep meditation to increase the potency of his Spirit Energy would be a better alternative. It''s refreshing and circtes his Mental Energy efficiently. ''Well, taking a short nap won''t kill me.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. Huo Yuhao sipped the tea made by Grayfia and walked to the couch, lying downfortably. He remembered the Quest had given him a bountiful reward, wanting to check them before falling into his nap. ''Evo, Show me the rewards I have gained so far. Oh, and only the things I haven''t touched and used.'' [Okay, Host] [You currently possessed 32x True Evil Piece(Empress Piece), 1x Random Ancient Devil''s Bloodline, 1/2 World Travelling Ticket Piece, 5x Seeds of Concept Fruit, Ashborn''s Spark(Brilliant Light), and several Silver and Gold Upgrading Tickets] [Do you want to include your loot in One Piece''s World?] ''Nah, they are different from Quest''s reward. Oh well, sort them out in grade and type for me, Evo.'' Huo Yuhao responded while staring at the system panel. [Name: True Evil Piece] [Type: Binding Item/Boosting Item] [Grade: SS+] [Description: True Evil Piece is a perfect form of Evil Piece. It developed in the far future and bound the target into the Ruler Piece, making them loyal to their Ruler. True Evil Piece also boosted the target''s base potential and strengthened their innate powers by a leap or roughly 500%] [Of course, everything must be fair. True Evil Piece entitled subordinates to use their Ruler''s energy up to 10% for their eternal servitude] [Quantity: 32] "Ten Percent..." Huo Yuhao mumbled, pondering the pro and cons of the True Evil Piece. 10% of his Spirit Energy is a lot, and for Title Douluo''s standard, his energy seems limitless. His energy recovery speed is abnormal because of the constantly-spinning Spirit Core within his abdomen. As for the Ruler Piece, Evo automatically established it in his soul. And Huo Yuhao decided to use itter for Huo Yun''er. She deserved to be the first because she supported him from the beginning. [Name: Random Ancient Devil''s Bloodline] [Type: Bloodline] [Grade: F-SSS] [Description: Ancient Devil is a creature that is a manifestation of the opposite world. There are millions of them scattered in the vast universe, having unique lineage and abilities. Unfortunately, the Ancient Devils had extinct after the Millenium Crusade by Monster Race] [Ancient Devil''s Bloodlines rated from F to SSS Grade, with F being the lowest caste and SSS Grade being the most powerful, known as the Nox Emperor] [However, even the Lowest Ancient Devil is considered a dangerous threat in several universes] [Do you want to pull Random Ancient Devil''s Bloodline?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao responded with great anticipation, cing the teacup on the table near him. [Rolling...] [...] [You have obtained Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline(F)] [Name: Ancient Ink Devil] [Type: Ancient Devil Bloodline] [Grade: F] [Description: Ancient Ink Devil is a being that maniptes magical inks and wipes the world as its canvas, having the power to ruin space and time with a stroke of its brush] "..." Huo Yuhao. "I... What??" "Is this even possible?" Huo Yuhao has EX Rank luck, so he should have rolled a higher-grade bloodline without any problem. It''s proven true for several years, as he could upgrade anything into better things despite the odds. Does the EX Rank luck start to lose its effect? He neverined at Evo for a few years, but this needs to get exined thoroughly. Well, Unless there is something special about Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline. Lowest grade bloodline. Upgrade? Huo Yuhao told Evo to show him the Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline, and the entire room was "instantly." flooded with a ck substance. ''''Fuck." He felt drowned and noticed Grayfia''s panicked expression before cking out. "Yuhao-sama!" Grayfia shouted, getting thrown out of the office. A thick liquid prevented her from entering back. "What happened here?" Scathach teleported to Grayfia''s side. Several otherdies and girls also followed her shortly after. Grayfia Lucifuge bit her lips and exined everything to Scathach, making everyone fall into an awkward mood. Scathach frowned and called her Gae Bolg Alternative, striking the ink barrier around the office. BAM! CLANK! The spear bounced back. "It''s useless..." The warrior queen mumbled in confusion. "I can''t break it carelessly. Even with my full power, I''m afraid to injure Huo Yuhao on the other side." "Let me try." Qianye Ying''er ced her hand on the ink barrier and flowed her Concept of Light, but the Ink isn''t rted to darkness. It also bounced back her light. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er stared at each other,ing to one viable conclusion. "We need her help." They said simultaneously. "Her help?" Grayfia and the otherdies stared at Qianye Ying''er, waiting for an answer. Qianye Ying''er smiled and added, "Huo Yuhao''s Mother, the Dragon Nest''s Mistress." "Huo Yun''er." ... ... Huo Yuhao sinks deeply into an unknown ce, having no sense of the external sensation. He couldn''t pinpoint his location, as if this entire ce was a nk space. He asked Evo where he was, but no response came from the system. [Error] [Error] [Error] [Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline has invaded Host''s body] [Using 1 ck Gold Upgrading Ticket to increase Host''s Affinity with Ancient Ink Devil Bloodline''s power] [New Spirit Ring "All-Transforming Ink." added to Host''s Throne of the Beginning and the End] [Ashborn Spark(Brilliance Light) has merged with Ashborn''s Spark(Spirit Ring) andpleted the Power of Shadow Monarch] [The system has issued an emergency trial] [All power except Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, and All-Transforming Ink sealed by the system] [Emergency Quest: Absolute Fortification of Onyx Brush World] [Objective: Defend the Castle from Endless Monster Horde and ughter every single enemy(0/100.000.000.001] [Reward: Exclusive Item: Onyx Brush(F/Sealed), Ancient Ink Devil''s Memory, and 1 tinum Upgrading Ticket] [Limitation: Host''s Cultivation limited to Spirit Emperor(beginning), Upgrade Sealed, some items will be locked] [Penalty: Upgrade Feature sealed for one year] [Time Limit: Null] [Warning! You can''t reject the Emergency Quest] [Replicating the Millennium Crusade in...] [3] [2] [1] [0] Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and felt the burdensome gravity on his shoulder, seeing a wide yet vast in ofnd before his eyes. He breathed in and out, calming himself. [Temporary Status Window added] [Name: Theomars von Admante(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 18(13)] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(Low)] [Martial Soul: None] [Cultivation: Sixth ss Devil Warrior/Spirit Emperor(Level 69)] [Description: Seventh Young Master of Admante Family, the Banished Child] Huo Yuhao frowned and turned around, finding an unfamiliar room decorated with a fictional medieval setting. He walked to the tall mirror and saw his current appearance. Huo Yuhao saw a healthy-looking young man with short ck hair and brown eyes. This guy has no unique features besides a cut scar on his left eyebrow. The cut is glowing with a red hue. "Where the hell am I?" Huo Yuhao mumbled while trying to use his Observation Haki. Since it''s not power and more of a technique he honed strictly for seven years, he could still use it freely. It also applies to Universal Breathing Technique, Extreme Lightning Mirage, and other techniques he learned under Scathach''s teaching. Huo Yuhao''s spiritual sense expanded and reached out of this room, covering the castle and thend before it. He was surprised to find only a handful of people(devils) living in this ce. [You''re at Titania Bolos, Host] Evo answered monotonously. [Small Star in the distant universe, one day before Apocalypse/Millenium Crusade executed by the Monster Race] [The system required finishing the Emergency Quest to absorb Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline. Think about it like Naga''s Legacy Trial, but more in-depth] [Current Progress: Bloodline Assimtion(1%)] "Young master Theo!" A surprised shoutes from behind. It was an old-looking butler with a long yet stylish mustache. Huo Yuhao tilted his head and responded, "Who are you?" The butler was stunned for a second and suddenly cried, "Oh, Tania(God)! Why are you so cruel?" "At first, you took Young Master''s health! Now even his memory is taken from him!!" Huo Yuhao sighed andmented, "Calm down, please. Care to exin what happened to this ce and me?" "O-Okay." The butler wiped his tears, leaving Huo Yuhao speechless. Chapter 146: Clich茅 Transmigration be like Chapter 146: Clich¨¦ Transmigration be like --- Chapter 146 --- "HAAAAAAA..." A long and tired sigh escaped Huo Yuhao''s mouth. After listening to the Damian(Butler''s name) story about Theomars von Admante, Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but sigh at this ridiculous yet cliche scenario. Simply put, Huo Yuhao was "forcibly." transmigrated to Theomars von Admante''s body, the seventh young master of the Admante Family. A former genius and now trash that got his "Devil Source." crippled by the monster race. Theomars was a disappointing disgrace that the Admante family banished him to this lonely castle on the edge of Clove Continent, fending against a low-leveled monster race. Apparently, Theomars died after going through the "Devil Berserk." state and allowed Huo Yuhao to inhibit his body. Of course, Evo stated this was nothing but a replication of this world''s history. [Do you want to receive Theomars von Admante''s Memory?] [Yes/No] "Damian, can you give me a day to digest this information?" Huo Yuhao stared at the butler. Damian nodded and responded, "It seems everything is alright besides the amnesia part. Young master Theo, please don''t hurt yourself." Watching Damian leave, Huo Yuhao flopped on the bed and told Evo to transfer Theomars''s memory to him. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in 18 years of memories. A small star called Titania is no different than Earth at first nce, except for its size. Titania is three times bigger than Earth and contains a rich resource for any living being to live in it. Devil Race(Kroman) has lived in Titania for 15.000 years and developed several empires. These empires are friendly with each other because Kroman has amon enemy, Monster Race(Siluman). Theomars stayed in Karuta Empire and were part of the Admante Family, one of three founder families. The other founders are the Narmos and Kemos Families. Admante Family is a former Devil n with Ancient Ink Devil''s bloodline flowing inside them. They have been regarded as the most influential devil warrior-producing family, possessing seven 9th ss Devil Warriors (Title Douluo). And this castle''s name is ck Pearl, a banished pce for trash. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and released another sigh of frustration because this Emergency Quest won''t be over soon. "Sister Daydream?" "Bing Di?" "Teacher?" [The system has blocked allmunication to the homeworld and people rted to it] Evo notified Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and whispered, "This will be a very long and boring Quest." "Anyway, let''s start fixing some shits." He sat on the bed and used Universal Breathing Technique, feeling Inner Energy flowing into his body. He breathed in, changing Theomars''s body for the best and discovering this guy once had two hearts. The Devil Race(Kroman) is not much different than humans in the Douluo Dalu''s universe outside and inside. However, they have two hearts, making them have two lives essentially. And the extra heart is called the "Devil Source.", an organ where Inner Energy is gathered and cultivated to reach a higher stage. The energy then circtes to the whole body, achieving theplete cycle of Devilication(Bloodline activation). As for the Cultivation Realms. There are nine realms for Devil Warrior, with three minorpletions for each breakthrough, simr to Douluo Dalu''s Universe. The people here used Low, Mid, and High for thepletions. It applies to technique mastery too. Ah yes, Monster Race ambushed him and destroyed Theomars''s Devil Source, destroying his cultivation. It was supposed to make him unsuitable for training inner energy anymore, but Universal Breathing Technique was working better with one heart. ''Having two hearts will be such a drag...'' Huo Yuhaomented while washing his body with Inner Energy. A ripple began to stir in his soul and flooded everything. [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves has reached Level 2] Huo Yuhao reformed Theomars''s body to his main body, adapting to Titania''s environment. He breathed out and released ck smoke from his mouth, pushing ck mucus(impurities) out of his body. The next morning. Damian worriedly waited outside his young master''s room and felt nervous because the young man had lost his memory. The door was suddenly opened, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar-looking youth. "Y-Young master??" A fair-skinned youth with lustrous ck hair and rich brown eyes stood before Damian. He stood over 183 centimeters, wearing tattered pants and a loose robe that revealed his lean physique. "Clean my room and prepare a nutritious breakfast. After that, bring it to the training ground." Huo Yuhao ordered Damian and walked away. "Eh..." Damian was speechless because the young master had returned to normal. Yes, Theomars von Admante is a fast-spoken person who uttered his thoughts honestly. Huo Yuhao''s Observation and Conqueror''s Haki haven''t changed much except for how long he could use them, but Armament Haki will be a vital ability. Devil Warriors fought with their bodies, after all. He entered the Training Ground and noticed how barren it was. He smiled and tried to use Primordial Rune but failed because this world wasn''tpatible with it. No Runes. No Magic. ''I can only use pressure points, huh?'' Huo Yuhao pressed several points in his body and felt his movement restricted. "Oh wait, I can also try this." "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves: Body Refining." "Tempering and Strengthen Body with inner waves." Huo Yuhao began to do the necessary exercise and manipted his body for three hours straight. He wanted to mold this physique, preparing for the iing Monster Race''s attack. "Evo, show me the timer of the Monster Race''s attack." [You have 12 hours left] [11:59:59] Damian entered the Training Ground and was dumbfounded to sense Inner Energy from his young master''s body. "H-How... He shouldn''t be able to train Inner Energy anymore. Yet, this heat and quantity." He mumbled to himself. "Young master reached 1st ss Devil Warrior again." "How??" "This is madness?!" Huo Yuhao heard Damian''s shocks and chuckled as Spirit Circuits would make his cultivation grow faster, but he needed Primordial Rune. Anyway, Universal Breathing Technique is more than enough for now. "Don''t stand there like a fool, Damian. Give me breakfast." He casuallymented while cooling off his body, Eating this world''s food for the first time was definitely a new experience for Huo Yuhao. Still, it doesn''t hinder him from reviewing the abilities he could use in this Emergency Quest. [Darkness Maniption] [Death Maniption] [All-Transforming Ink] Darkness and Death Maniption are not very hard to understand for Huo Yuhao because he possessed Asborn''s Spark(Iplete Version) for more than four years. He hasprehended them for a decent amount of time, trying his best to uncover Darkness and Death. Darkness is a little easier, but Death is somewhat awkward. Death was silent. Death was immutable. Death was the end of one''s cycle of life. All things in existence only left behind one thing in the end. That was "nothing.". If a Life was born, Death naturally followed. Death was the home to which all life returned. When a person died, they would return to dust. When a universe decayed, it would get annihted into nothingness. No life could live forever. Even a great race had their prosperity and decline. Even a universe was born and eventually destroyed. Scathach once muttered to him, "Yuhao, being Immortal is boring. Being immortal only makes me want "Death." even more. Can you give "Death." to me?" Huo Yuhao killed Scathach once and sent her to the afterlife, which she described asforting and quiet but boring as fuck. "What a funny description." He couldn''t help but chuckle in amusement. However, thanks to Scathach, Huo Yuhao could improve his Shadow Army even further. Combining Darkness and Death, Huo Yuhao created Eternal Shadow and "Loyal Subordinate." bound to his life(Shadow), a cheap copy of Shadow Monarch''s ability to turn dead into his army. Nevertheless, his shadow general could be stronger rapidly. As for the All-Transforming Ink. He doesn''t know. This is the newest ability Huo Yuhao obtained. [Name: All-Transforming Ink] [Grade: F] [Description: A flexible ck substance that could transform based on one''s will] "..." Huo Yuhao. "Why am I not even disappointed?" He tried to use All-Transforming Ink and noticed a ck ink starting to drop from his left hand''s index finger. "R-R-Royal Blood..." Damian''s jaw dropped. "Y-Young master-! I mean, your highness. When did you awaken your bloodline?" He asked immediately. Huo Yuhao tilted his head and replied, "I don''t know... Last night? I had a dream about getting drowned by ink." Damian''s expression hardened when hearing that, asking some questions to Huo Yuhao before closing and opening his mouth like Koi. He looked at the ink on Huo Yuhao''s finger and kneeled on the ground. "May the Royal Ancestor bless Theomars von Admante!" "Your highness, please ept my pledge of allegiance to you!" "Uh, sure." Huo Yuhao replied while drinking milk. He doesn''t care about subordination because everything will go when he protects the castle and ughters the monster race. ''They''ll be useful in the iing war, I suppose?'' Then, not too long after, every person in this lonely castle went to his room and pledged their allegiance to him. Coincidently, Royal Blood or ck Blood is a sign of the Karuta Empire''s True Ruler. What a nice freaking coincidence. [Karuta Empire fell before the rightful owner showed its glory. That''s what happened in the past] Evo answered Huo Yuhao''s confusion. [With your awakening, the war between Monster Race and Devil Race will be even. It''s ironic, considering the Monster Race caused all of this by ambushing Theomars von Admante] "So you mean, what doesn''t kill me, make me stronger?" Huo Yuhaomented while sitting on the window frame of his room. The window is wide enough to fit him. He looked at this world''s sun and added, "What a beautiful golden glow, reminding me of Ying''er." This loneliness is eating him slowly. Annoying. Yet, Huo Yuhao couldn''t do anything about it. "Evo, I have guessed the answer, but Can I take items from my Inventory?" A weak smile stered Huo Yuhao''s face. [No] Evo tly answered. [The System has frozen All-Items rted to the homeworld] "This Quest..." "Whatever, but I can still use inventory, right?" [Yes] "Good." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief. Believe it or not, Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to carry a spatial bag everywhere(this world has one). It is just vulnerable. Huo Yuhao enjoyed the noon while using Universal Breathing Technique to increase his inner energy potency. He also reached 2nd ss Devil Warrior, expanding his energy pathway and boosting his physical strength. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao''s Observation Haki detected something approaching the ck Pearl Castle. He looked up and saw a massive eagle hovering in the sky. The eaglended in the garden inside the castle and revealed a group of people. A young woman with silky white hair and beautiful bronze eyes jumped from the eagle and stared at Huo Yuhao. She''s a young beauty with charm one could have once in a thousand years. Huo Yuhao stared back and smirked at her, making the young woman ashamed and blushed slightly. "And here we are, the cliche fiancee." He whistled while waiting for Damian''s entrance to his room. Damian ran to his room and reported, "Y-Your highness, T-The Crown Princess Terresa de Kemos is here!" Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Yeah, yeah. I know." "Just let them wait in the main hall." He jumped from the window and dropped to the training ground, grabbing a wooden staff to beat some peopleter. He walked to the main hall and saw the Crown Princess with her followers. "Greetings, Crown Princess." He smiled while bending his body a little. It''s far from enough to be considered a bow. Terresa nodded and replied, "Nice to meet you, Theomars-!" "Stop, princess! Let me talk!" Someone suddenly interrupted, as Huo Yuhao expected. A blond-haired young man named Gale Narmos, the heir of the Narmos Family. He''s 18 years old, like Theomars and Terresa, but more arrogant even with both of thembined. "I''ll set this straight, Trash." Gale red at Huo Yuhao. "Princess is here to annul your engagement with her." "Sure." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "A TRASH LIKE YOU-! Wait, what??" Gale and everyone in the room was speechless. Even the Crown Princess couldn''t help but cover her little mouth in disbelief. "Yeah, you heard that right." Huo Yuhaozily yawned. "Let''s annul this cliche engagement trope." Chapter 147: Monster Races Attack Chapter 147: Monster Race''s Attack --- Chapter 147 --- Hearing Huo Yuhao''s words, everyone in the room stared at him with shocked expressions. The Crown Princess is beyond flustered because this wasn''t Theomars she knew. Even though Theomars von Admante was known as a fast-spoken young man, he wasn''t very wise in handling provocation. Gale Narmos wanted to show the Crown Princess his might, but Theomars doesn''t fall for that. Theomars epted the Engagement Annulment immediately, leaving them speechless. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes when seeing their reactions, especially the youngdies. He''s not dumb to buy their drama-inducing scenario, which every woman loves. Women love Drama. It''s the truth. They seek Drama, even indirectly. "Yes, you heard that right." Huo Yuhao yawnedzily. "Let''s annul this cliche engagement trope." "Have a nice day, for you and with the Crown Princess. I hope the wedding party ising soon. I won''te, though." He gave a cheeky smile at Gale Narmos. "Then, see ya." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and walked away, feeling a breeze on his back. Gale Narmos released an intense inner energy with visible green wind around his body, staring at Huo Yuhao with infuriated-red eyes. "Who said you can go away..." Gale said indifferently. "How dare you mock me?" Huo Yuhao was amazed at this guy''s attitude and returned, "Pardon, are you fucking deaf?" "Go Die, Theomars!" Gale lunged at Huo Yuhao, attacking him with a pressured air blow. SWOOSH! Everyone closed their eyes because the oue was clear: Theormars von Admante would be humiliated today. He would drop to the ground and possibly enter aa. That''s what they expected. BAM! BAM! Crack! The Crown Princess was the first to open her eyes. She saw Gale Narmos on the ground with a bloodied face and fainted. The number one genius and heir of the Narmos Family was "instantly." defeated. "Ah, the staff is broken. What a waste of wood." Huo Yuhao threw the wooden staff to the ground, hitting Gale Narmos''s family jewel in an ident. Yes, an ident infused with Darkness Energy. And a little bit of Darkness(Yin) Energy definitely won''t make someone impotent, right? Right? It seems Theomars hated this guy to the guts. "Anyway, see ya." Huo Yuhao whistled and stepped out of the hall, making one of the most anti-climactic entrances and exits recorded in this world. He told Damian to deal with the rest and enjoyed the rest of the day cultivating. ... ... A knock echoed from the other side of the door. Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes and stopped cultivating, calming the inner energy to the bottleneck of 2nd ss Devil Warrior. Huo Yuhao loved this world''s power system because it was so simple. Of course, with Extreme Lightning Mirage, his cultivation stage is unknown to people with a dull sense. "Enter." He said while taking a seat on the chair. As the door opened, Huo Yuhao could see the Crown Princess enter his room. She was indeed a beautiful youngdy. "Do you need something, Crown Princess?" Huo Yuhao smiled at her. "I don''t think this Trash of me couldn''t help you with anything, though." Terresa de Kemos sighed and replied, "I''m here to ry a message from the Kemos Family. We wanted to "Formally." annul the engagement between you and me. Of course, your family has agreed with this." "Clearly... I don''t have a say in this matter. Well, My reply is still the same as before. Sure, let''s annul the engagement." Huo Yuhao returned casually, feigning not to know the Crown Princess''s annoyance. Teressa pouted andined, "Are you the Theomars I knew??" "Your temperament is changing too muchpared tost month." "Also, your fight with Gale. What kind of special ability did you use?" Faced with these questions, Huo Yuhao cluelessly tilted his head and answered, "What do you mean? That guy tripped and mmed his face on the ground. He even smashed my wooden staff in half, sad." "..." Terresa couldn''t believe this guy. Since when did Theomars be so shameless? "Ha... Aspensation for the annulment, our family decided topensate you with two Purple Devil Flowers." She ced a ss box on the table. "Also, this." Another box followed shortly after. It was made of metal, having a ck luster. "This Devil Artifact could protect you from 5th ss or 6th ss Monster Race Attacks. Use it well." "Also, you better be careful with Narmos Family. Gale wouldn''t leave you be." "Goodbye, Theo..." Terresa gave him a lonely yet mncholy nce and disappeared from the room. Her presence also thinned and reappeared in the guest room, 30 meters away. Huo Yuhao opened the metal box and discovered a pendant with a white crystal hooked to it. "What a heartless ex-fiancee." Hemented while shaking his head. 6th ss Protection Artifact? She knew very well Narmos had hundreds of 6th-ss Devil Warriors. And Let''s not talk about higher-ss devil warriors. What could Theomars do in this situation? His family literally banished him to this barren castle. "At least thepensation is generous enough..." Huo Yuhao checked the ss box. Two identical purple flowers with distinct aromas appeared before his eyes. [Name: Purple Devil Flower] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: S] [Description: Purple Devil Flower is a rare flower grown in the area with a rich natural aura. It''s an excellent consumable item, having a miraculous property such as granting a "Healing Factor." when eating the petals and "Poison Immunity." when eating the stalk] "Hmm? The other Purple Devil Flower is a little different." Huo Yuhao noticed the second Purple Devil Flower''s petals were more vibrant. [Name: Violet Devil Flower] [Type: Consumable] [Grade: S+] [Description: Violet Devil Flower is only born one in a thousand years, having the same property as Purple Devil Flower except for one special effect upon consumption. Anyone who eats Violet Devil Flower increases their lifespans by 100 years and gains the ability to purify their Blood] "Haha..." "HAHAHA..." "My Ex-Rank Luck is still working, Baby~!!" Huo Yuhao pumped his fist in excitement. He saved the Purple Devil Flower because he might be able to grow it in the homeworld and decided to consume the Violet Devil Flower. Closing any possible entrances to his room, Huo Yuhao sat on the ground and began to eat the Violet Purple Flower. It was sweet and somewhat refreshing, flowing down to his throat gently. "Universal Breathing Technique..." Huo Yuhao experienced a sh of memory, watching the Underworld War''s events unfold slowly in his head. He sighed and watched everything from start to finish, seeing how the devil marched into the Realm of the Dead. It was his fault to attack Hades without understanding the Underworld''s devil and his subordinate''s power. He overestimated and believed everyone from the Underworld would be okay but forgot they weren''t part of Dragon Nest yet. Tiamat was injured because he believed she could do well against someone like Qianye Ying''er, but the reality is far from that. Was it Huo Yuhao''s fault? He was confident with his new subordinate, but they didn''t meet his standard except for some people. That''s why he created a better training program for the Underworld''s devil, spreading the new breathing technique toplement their devil lineage. He''ll take this as a lesson. And they should be fine on the other side because Huo Yun''er and others still kept everything in check. It was barely a day, but Huo Yuhao missed them already. Usually, Tian Meng''s rants would cheer him out now. Huo Yuhao felt the Violet Purple Flower''s effect had been absorbed into his body and strengthened his internal organs. He could feel the slight change here and there. "Evo, show me the Quest''s page." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. [Emergency Quest: Absolute Fortification of Onyx Brush World] [Objective: Defend the Castle from Endless Monster Horde and ughter every single enemy(0/100.000.000.001] [Reward: Exclusive Item: Onyx Brush(F/Sealed), Ancient Ink Devil''s Memory, and 1 tinum Upgrading Ticket] [Limitation: Host''s Cultivation limited to Spirit Emperor(Level 69)] [Penalty: Upgrade Feature sealed for one year] [Time Limit: Null] Huo Yuhao stretched his body and called for Damian, telling him and the other servants to prepare themselves. "What''s about to happen, your highness?" Damian asked nervously. Huo Yuhao loosened his sleeve and answered, "Apocalypse. Monster Race willunch a full-blown attack in 8 hours. Share this news with the Crown Princess''s Escort. It''s up to them to believe it or not." "Let them decide whether this fool''s words are a good warning or a joke." "No, you''re no fool, your highness!" Damian suddenly shouted. "Royal Blood flowed in your veins, making you eligible for greatness." "Please..." "Please don''t undervalue yourself." Huo Yuhao smiled because Damian sounded like a certain silver-haired maid he cherishes. "It''s better to undervalue everything than overvalue it." He countered the butler. "I have learned this mistake in a bad way." Looking at his young master, Damian witnessed apletely different person than the young man he formerly knew. That expression. And That knowing one''s faulty eyes. ''Did the awakening change his mindset?'' He thought while observing Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao ignored Damian''s gaze andmented, "Go, we don''t have much time here. Time is money, Damian." "Y-Yes, your highness." Damian ushered out, running to the Crown Princess''s escort room and warning them about the iing Monster Race''s attack. Of course, they thought it was a joke. It''s within Huo Yuhao''s expectations, but the Crown Princess doesn''t take his words lightly. Faced with the news from Damian, Terresa de Kemos ordered everyone who followed her to return. They had to return to the Capital and warned everyone about this matter. Everyone except Terresa thought this was Huo Yuhao''s scheme to kick them out of the castle and bore small loathing toward him. Huo Yuhao leaned on the window and saw the massive eagle flying away from the ck Pearl Castle. If they traveled at max speed, the Karuta Empire would be able to prepare for the war in six hours. Thirty minutester. "Your highness, everyone is here," Damian announced everyone''s attendance in his room. Huo Yuhao nced at them and said, "The monster race will start one of their attacks on that in." He pointed his finger at the vast in before the ck Pearl''s castle. "We couldn''t do anything but fight and protect this ce. Run is impossible because the Karuta Empire will be in chaos." "And my family won''t do shits." "That''s why... I wanted everyone to be a good piece of this survival. It doesn''t matter if you are weak. Chefs, please cook good meals for everyone. Maid, please prepare afortable resting ce." "Guards, please do your job and protect this ce." "Andstly, Damian... Coordinate everyone ordingly." Huo Yuhao looked at the grasnd and dered, "As for me, I''ll go and face them directly." Everyone was dumbfounded, and Damian suddenly hugged Huo Yuhao''s legs. "No! You can''t! It''s dangerous." Heined, having every servant and guard of the castle nod their heads. BOOM! Huo Yuhao released his Conqueror''s Haki and made their knees weak with a simple presence. "My order is absolute... Do your goddamn task, or I''ll kick you out of this ce." He said indifferently. "The best fighter we have is 5th ss Warrior, Guard Captain. He wouldn''t be able to survive against millions of Monster Race." The Guard Captain''splexion paled when hearing Huo Yuhao''s statement. Millions? That''s ridiculous. His limit is only ten 5th-ss Monsters at once. "Don''t be too nervous... You won''t die with me here." Huo Yuhao chuckled while deactivating his Conqueror''s Haki. "As long as you were doing your job properly, nothing will happen." "If you understand that, GO! DO YOUR JOBS!" ... ... Huo Yuhao rxed in his room and meditated to understand his abilities furthermore. "This is hard but not impossible." [Name: All-Transforming Ink] [Grade: E] [Description: A flexible ck substance that could transform based on one''s will. The ink also can be applied to something] "Adding another line..." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in disbelief. After consuming S+ grade Violet Devil Flower, his Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline be purer and reached the E grade. What an unfair trade. Just how powerful Ancient Devil''s Bloodline was? That''s for another day. After warming himself in this cold weather, Huo Yuhao stood on the wall of the ck Pearl Castle. He watched the grasnd calmly and felt somewhat sad because it would get ruined soon. [00:00:01] [The wave has started] Evo alerted Huo Yuhao. The world was "slowly." illuminated by the morning sun, but what came next wasn''t a warm golden glow. But a wave of destruction. Huo Yuhao noticed the Monster Race(Siluman) started to appear from afar, one after another. They painted the grasnd''s dirty twinkle with burning torches and weapons to kill Devil Race(Kroman). Today is the end of the Devil Race. Huo Yuhao used Universal Breathing Technique and jumped from the tall wall of the ck Pearl Castle. He dropped down andnded, killing the momentum with his Darkness Maniption. "Evo, start counting." [0/100.000.000.001] Huo Yuhao turned his body into a shadow-like state and charged forward, facing the enemy without nervousness. It''s just one against many, but he doesn''t care. "I''ll finish this Quest." "Yes, I''ll finish this Quest and return home." Chapter 148: Testing Eternal Shadow Chapter 148: Testing Eternal Shadow --- Chapter 148 --- Monster Race(Siluman) is an alien creature with the appearance of a gray-skinned human. They have mimicked the Devil Race(Kroman) and evolved into something new. That''s why most of them possessed monster-like features like wings, ws, and scales. Monster Race is also quite intelligent but not wise enough to build technology. They have a unique bloodline called Spirit Ancestor''s Bloodline, allowing them to enhance their physical strength. Yes, unlike Devil Race, Monster Race couldn''t cultivate Inner Energy. However, their bodies proved strong enough to win any long-driven battle. That''s it, Until a real monster appeared before them, ying 100 Monster Soldiers with one attack. BOOM! "ARGGHHH!" "A Kroman is attacking our frontline!" "H-He''s too powerful!!" Huo Yuhao regted this breathing and attacked the Monster Race most efficiently. He transformed the All-Transforming Ink into a halberd and coated it with Eternal Shadow and Armament Haki, killing 4th ss Monsters despite being in 3rd ss Devil Warrior Realm. CLANK! He reached this stage after consuming the Violet Devil Flower, which enhanced his inner energy even further. After waving his weapon and sting at least 100 monsters, Huo Yuhao moved to another area. He doesn''t want to waste his time. Monster Race is mighty outside with their superior physical prowess, but their inside is very vulnerable. Huo Yuhao used Armament Haki to injure them inside, destroying their cell. Of course, Huo Yuhao has to use his Observation Haki constantly with one million enemies around him. He has to dodge, parry, and counter each attack without losing a beat, or everything will be over. Theormars''s body is different from his original body. It''s not trained to the extreme and is barely enough to be used recklessly. Its stamina is also not unlimited, making Huo Yuhao constantly cycle his inner energy with Universal Breathing Technique. nk! Thud! Huo Yuhao instinctively parried an arrow, grabbing and throwing it back to the source. What''s remarkable about Theomars''s body is his raw survival instinct is high. The danger is one thing he always felt when entering this battlefield. He bleeds. He kills. He ughters. He tramples over the monster race with shadowy armor covering his body. His ck helmet covered his head, letting bright brown light escape. Its eerie brown light makes one feel dread. Huo Yuhao is thrusting his halberd, remembering Scathach''s teaching to handle polearm. "Gentle, Swift, and Decisive." He moved like a war god amidst the monster race, ughtering everything on his path. Cough! Huo Yuhao coughed a mouthful of blood as Theomars''s body couldn''t keep up with his extreme performance. The shadow armor was uncovered, revealing his overheating body. "I''ve been fighting for five hours." He wiped the blood from his mouth. He was lucky the monster race hadn''t sent 6th ss Monster or above here. "Retreat... This body needs to recover from the extensive performance." "But first..." Huo Yuhaobined Darkness and Death Maniption, staring at the pile of corpses with keen eyes. His shadow, illuminated by the morning sun, expands greatly, covering a 100 meters radius. SWOOSH! Huo Yuhao had never felt so empty in his entire life, but it was strangelyforting. The Darkness and Death Laws seemed to embrace him in coldness. "Arise." All his inner energy drained to zero, making a wailing cry appear on the battlefield. This scene will never be forgotten and engraved in the Monster Race''s minds. Their fellow brethren''s corpses started to release a shadowy aura, and limbs made of darkness crawled out slowly. Their dead brethren have be hideous shadowy creatures. "W-What kind of sorcery is this?" One monster uttered in shock. [You have turned 19 Tusk Monster Race into Shadow Warrior] [You have turned 34 Winged Monster Race into Shadow Warrior] [You have turned 77 Armored Monster Race into Shadow Warrior] [You have turned 80 Centurion Monster Race into Shadow Warrior] [You have turned 40 Orc Monster Race into Shadow Warrior] [You have created the "Shadow Realm." from Your Eternal Shadow] [Shadows: 250/250] "250... That''s my limit, huh?" Huo Yuhao ordered his new pawns to enter the shadow realm and used Extreme Lightning Mirage to retreat from the battlefield. He doesn''t have the inner energy to maintain Shadow Warriors. He could only extract them, not letting them fight yet. Huo Yuhao retreated to the ck Pearl Castle and fell to the floor with a heavy sigh, which alerted the servant. "Doctor, hurry up!" Damian''s voice echoed throughout the whole castle. "Your highness is bleeding!!" "Calm down... it''s just a wound." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. This level of pain isn''t enough to make him wince or cry. While the doctor was tending his wounds, Huo Yuhao ordered Evo to show him the objective bar. He doesn''t know how many monsters were ughtered by him. [Objective: 10.369/100.000.000.001] "A little over 10k..." Huo Yuhao smiled weakly. "I have to be better-!" "Your highness!!" Everyone watched Huo Yuhao faint on the spot. ... ... Huo Yuhao appeared in a dark ce filled with shooting stars, witnessing a beautiful woman with flowing crimson hair and gold eyes. She possessed a wild lion-like charm, smiling at him tenderly. "Oh, someone actually able to reach this ce~?" She sounded amused for some reason. "Don''t be afraid, child." "We shall meet again when you are stronger." Huo Yuhao wanted to say something, but a polished ceiling greeted him immediately. "The fuck..." He cursed while feeling a headache. "Where am I?" "Your highness, you finally awake!" Damian grabbed his hand. "Thank god, I was worried." Huo Yuhao listened to Damian''s grumbling for several minutes and was surprised to find out he had fainted after returning to the castle. He was fine, mentally. It''s the case of Zero Order. Zero Order is an extreme state where Devil Warriors use all their inner energies. It led to exhaustion and forcibly shut down physical function for several hours. Even with the "Healing Factor." Huo Yuhao gained through Violet Devil Flower. He still needs 2 hours of rest to restore his stamina and energy instead of half a day. It''s a miracle, ording to Castle''s Doctor. [Name: Healing Factor] [Type: Passive Skill] [Grade: C+] [Description: An ability to recover from bodily injuries or disease at a fast rate] [Name: Poison Immunity] [Type: Passive Skill] [Grade: C] [Description: Immune to 100 kinds of poisons] These two passives are very helpful because the monster race did some damage and tried to poison him several times on the battlefield. Huo Yuhao stretched his neck and jumped off the bed, asking for ck Pearl Castle''s defense. "How is the situation?" Damian blinked and solemnly answered, "We got surrounded. The shaman has created a deep pit around the castle at a long distance so that the monster couldn''t reach this ce." "Still, the Guard Captain reported some monster able to sneak into the castle like Winged Monster Race. Without the barrier and Guards, we wouldn''t be able to resist them." "We should wait until-! "I''ll push them away again." Huo Yuhaomented while walking out of the room. " "No! Your Highness, at this point, you''ll die." Damian warned him sternly. Huo Yuhao flicked Damian''s forehead and replied with a chuckle, "Of course, I''ll die." "You''ll die." "Everyone will die." "But not this day." "..." Damian. Huo Yuhao utilized Universal Breathing Technique to circte his inner energy and discovered he was about to reach the 4th ss Devil Warrior Realm. He was satisfied because the battlefield pushed his limit from low to high 3rd ss Devil Warrior in one fight. [Status] [Name: Theomars von Admante(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 18(13)] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(Low)] [Cultivation: 3rd ss Devil Warrior(Recultivated)] [Battle Power: Fifth ss(Low)] [Passive Skill: Healing Factor, Poison Immunity] [Active Skill: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, All-Transforming Ink, Eternal Shadow(+)] [Description: Seventh Young Master of Admante Family, the Banished Child, Transmigrated Person] Huo Yuhao achieved this much in just a day, familiarizing himself with the environment. "What a drag." He needed to protect this castle and kill every monster race. "Wait..." "Evo, you strictly said items rted to homeworld before, right?" [Yes] "Does it include an item bound to my soul too?" [Yes] "So an item that didn''t rte to my homeworld and was not bound to me is free to use? For example, Quest Reward that I haven''t touched at all." [...] [Yes?] [After thorough consideration, The Host may pick and freely use two items unrted to the homeworld and soul from the inventory] "Only two? Better than nothing, I guess." Huo Yuhao fell into a dilemma, pondering what would be the best choice for this Emergency Quest. This ck Pearl Castle basically has no protection nor resources to support itself. After a long yet short five minutes, Huo Yuhao scrolled through the inventory and picked two items. [Are you sure, Host?] Evo asked him. "Yeah, these items are the best for the current situation." Huo Yuhao responded calmly. [You have selected "Nightmare Demon Pot." and "Jungle Dungeon Key." from the inventory] Picking Jungle Dungeon Key is pretty self-exnatory. Huo Yuhao probably has to stay in this world for a few months, and with scarce resources, he wouldn''t be able to defend this castle. A Dungeon will be a decentnd to grow food and hunt to gain experience. And Huo Yuhao was sure it worked like Advalon, despite not being able to self-evolve and have time dtion. As for the Nightmare Demon Pot, Huo Yuhao had a hunch about this item. "I''ll do a small experimentter." He huffed in confidence. "Let''s push the monster away first." Huo Yuhao went to the battlefield and fought with the monster race again. However, this time. He has 250 Shadow Warriors supporting him greatly. Even though maintaining them cost 2/3 of his inner energy, it was still an agreeable price for increasing his kill counts. And they literally be immortal soldiers that fought alongside him. Another 5 hours passed, and the day reached evening time. Huo Yuhao breathed heavily and looked at thend near the ck Pearl Castle. He has cleared this area by wiping more than 20.000 4th ss Monsters. His shadow helped a lot, adding 5000 more to his kill counts. Returning to the ck Pearl Castle, Huo Yuhao sighed and deactivated the "Eternal Shadow." Skill. His shadow warriors haven''t increased in number, and their strength is stagnant at 3rd and 4th ss. "Wee back, your highness." Damian greeted him, having a solemn expression on his face. "Do you still want to stop me?" Huo Yuhao casually pointed at the battlefield. Damian shook his head and replied, "No. No, your Highness. I''ve witnessed your strength and ability to kill more than 30.000 monsters, no joking matter. And those shadowy creatures, I congratted your Highness for obtaining noble power." "It''s not just me, but everyone. We were shocked by your performance and awaited our death until you showed us this validity." "Validity, huh?" Huo Yuhao patted Damian''s shoulders. "How much food do we have now? And how long will itst?" Damian sighed and answered, "A month." "We only have enough food for a month as merchants usually enter the castle. But the monster race suddenly attacked us." "Bring warm food to my room." Huo Yuhao went to this room, thinking about this castle''s condition. Throwing the sweaty clothes to the floor, Huo Yuhao used Universal Breathing Technique and meditated for ten minutes. Damian brought the warm food and ced the tray on the table, diminishing himself quietly. SWOOSH! Huo Yuhao''s cultivation skyrocketed and reached 4th ss Devil Warrior, increasing the amount of Inner energy and physical strength he previously had. Growl~! Huo Yuhao smiled and rubbed his stomach, eating the warm food Damian put on the table. After filling himself, He picked the Nightmare Demon Pot from the inventory and observed the item meticulously. [Name: Nightmare Demon Pot] [Type: Artifact] [Grade: SS+] [Description: A mysterious ck jade pot with the ability to refine Demon Spirits] "Evo, Can I substitute Demon Spirit with Shadow Warriors?" Huo Yuhao asked with a grin. "Since shadow warrior is technically the soul of a dead creature, I should be able to do it." [Theoretically, possible] [The refining process might have a lower sess rate because of the different materials used...] [It''s worth it to try] Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes andmented, "Let''s see if the lower sess rate could win against my luck." He ordered his shadow warrior to cover andpress themselves into shadow beads. He has read the Tales of Demons and Gods, so using Nightmare Demon Pot shouldn''t be a problem. He tossed 10 of them into the pot and covered the lid. Is it hical? Probably? Does it help Huo Yuhao? Yes. At least these souls aren''t innocent before he extracts them into shadow warriors. How did he know this? Death Maniption, Son. Huo Yuhao flowed his inner energy into the pot and added a bit of Eternal Shadow Element, which caused the Nightmare Demon Pot to light with a mystical bronze glow. He could feel the ten shadow warriors fighting each other and leaving one survivor, absorbing the essence left behind by the other fallen shadow. The survivor shadow is Centurion Shadow Warrior, a centaur with shadowy armor. He possessed a darker shade of shadow and released dim purple light. [Name: Novice Centurion Shadow] [Type: Shadow Warrior] [Battle Power: 4th ss] [Description: Novice Centurion Shadow is Shadow Centaur who went through Nightmare Demon Pot''s refining and evolved to wield the force of the earth. This shadow warrior is also 3x faster than a living centaur] "Hehehe..." "We know where this is going, Evo." Huo Yuhaoughed mischievously. Chapter 149: Ancient Ink Devil: Titania von Valstrax Chapter 149: Ancient Ink Devil: Titania von Valstrax --- Chapter 149 --- One month has passed. ck Pearl Castle has been defending the continent''s border and survived the first wave of the apocalypse. Even though the monster wave still attacked this ce, it became manageable when Huo Yuhao became stronger alongside his shadow army. And if we are talking about his Shadow Army. Huo Yuhao has been mauling his Eternal Shadow and Nightmare Demon Pot to the utmost limit. The quantity of energy he fed into this magical pot was enough for someone in this world to reach 8th ss immediately. If Huo Yuhao had to rate his new shadow army, they were far weaker than his Shadow Generals in the homeworld. However, their potential is better because of the Nightmare Demon Pot''s help. What, your warrior is weak? Just shove them in. After one month, Huo Yuhao expanded the amount of shadow he could extract to 500 and strengthened them with Nightmare Demon Pot. It''s a tiring and energy-consuming method because he always got "Zero Order." twice a day. Frankly, it''s worth it. Meanwhile, ck Pearl Castle''s living conditions have improved in just one month. Not by a lot, but enough for them to survive with the help of Jungle Dungeon Key. Jungle Dungeon Key allowed Huo Yuhao ess to a pocket dimension with a wide jungle area. This ce was "totally." filled with dangerous beasts and even dinosaurs, but a great location to cultivate food. As long as Huo Yuhao doesn''t kill the boss, the Jungle Dungeon will always be open and support the ck Pearl Castle with resources. The gate to Jungle Dungeon was "actually." set in the castle''s basement, where only Huo Yuhao and individuals eligible to fight could enter. It''s a dangerous zone, so Huo Yuhao couldn''t let a weak maid enter and died because of the monster''s attack. Even so, the weakest servant in the ck Pearl Castle could fight 3rd ss monsters just fine. She isn''t the best fighter, but her cooking was number one. ... ... In the training ground, Huo Yuhao was pletely." surrounded by the ck Pearl Castle''s guards. Each possessed peak 4th ss Devil Warrior''s strength, with the Head Guard being 5th ss Warrior. Huo Yuhao breathed in and stepped forward, baiting one guard to attack him. The guard was provoked andunched a fist infused with inner energy. He skillfully grabbed the guard''s hand and mmed him into other guards, breaking the formation. After that, Huo Yuhao approached the head guard and dodged a flurry of attacks. BAM! BAM! BAM! The training ground is overwhelmed with heavy-punching noise as the Head Guard is a burly guypared to Huo Yuhao, who possesses a leaner physique. Weirdly, their strength is around the same. Huo Yuhao deflected the head guard''s attack with the back of his palm and observed the iing attack with his eyes, not leaving any details behind. After exchanging blows for three minutes, Huo Yuhao slipped through the head guard''s defense and mmed his elbow into the man''s face. He smiled and told them to rest. Huo Yuhao chugged a pouch of water andmented, "That wasn''t a bad session. Addie, stop falling to such an obvious provocation and guard your position." Addie, the guardsman thrown away by Huo Yuhao a moment ago like a ragdoll, felt ashamed and responded, "Yes, your highness!" "And Krom, good job." Huo Yuhao continued while staring at the head guard. This guy is a bear-like guy with a matching personality and appearance, having a thick beard and brown hair. Krom shook his head and returned, "I still have a long way to go, your highness. I''ll try my best to reach 6th ss devil warrior before winteres." Huo Yuhao chuckled and gave them farewell, walking to his room and wiping the sweat on his face. "Evo, status." He said while walking on a stair. [Name: Theomars von Admante(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 18(13)] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(Low)] [Cultivation: 5th ss Devil Warrior(High/Recultivated)] [Battle Power: Sixth ss(Mid)] [Passive Skill: Healing Factor, Poison Immunity, Devil Force] [Active Skill: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, All-Transforming Ink, Eternal Shadow(500+)] [Description: Seventh Young Master of Admante Family, the Banished Child, Transmigrated Person, ck Pearl Castle''s Lord] The world of Titania is awfully simr to Douluo Dalu but a somewhat lower version of it. The cultivation realms aren''t so different. When the devil race(Kroman) reaches the 5th Stage, they obtain an ability called Devil Force exclusive to themselves. It could be a powerful or useless ability, but still a boost to one''s strength. And lineage doesn''t affect this at all. For example, the Head Guard''s Krom awakened his "Nether Bear." ability and increased his physical prowess. And Theomars von Admante awakened "Bouncy Air." power, ording to Damian( the butler). When one awakens their Devil Force, a massive change in appearance is normal. Everyone thought Huo Yuhao''s Devil Force was rted to his undying shadow army, but they were wrong. "Iris." Huo Yuhao called over his loyal shadow. A purple shadow immediately appeared out of the darkness and kneeled before Huo Yuhao. It was definitely a female shadow, having a cat-like appearance and a yellow-eyed boar''s head on her right shoulder. "Yes, my liege." [Name: Iris(Imprinted)] [Type: Shadow Cat Warrior(Variant)] [Battle Power: 5th ss(Peak)] [Description: Shadow Cat Warrior whose name was granted/imprinted by her master''s All-Transformation Ink. Iris is a skilled marksman and agile fighter on the battlefield, capable of killing 6th ss Monster with enough preparation] "Rise, How is the in?" Huo Yuhao asked, keep walking to his room. Iris followed him and answered, "Everything is okay, my liege. The monster race(Siluman)''s number has decreased, but I noticed 3rd ss monsters no longer exist in the perimeter." "We can expect 6th or even 7th ss monsters toe soon." "7th ss, that''s new." Huo Yuhao patted Iris''s head, watching her wiggle her shadow cat''s tail. "We still have a long way to go, though." [Objective: 769.313/100.000.000.001] "Iris, watch over the tower. I''ll be there once I wash my body." Huo Yuhao ordered the shadow. Iris nodded and disappeared from his view, moving through the castle''s shadow and appearing above a newly built watchtower. Huo Yuhao entered his bedroom and went straight into the bath, filling it with rare herbs grown in the Jungle Dungeon. He sat insidefortably and used Universal Breathing Technique to refine the inner energy inside his body. It''s time to reach 6th ss Devil Warrior. The stronger he bes, the faster it is for him to return home. However, he might be a little reckless. Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and forced all inner energy to gather in his heart, rotating it continuously. He wanted to replicate Soul Core into Devil Warrior''s cultivation because his energy recovery speed was too slow for his liking. Sometimes he drained all his energy in the middle of the battlefield. Crack! ''Fuck! This body is so fragile.'' Huo Yuhao felt a crack in his ribcage. He cursed inside and tried to fix the problem, but his bones shattered into pieces one after another. Theomars von Adamnate''s body tempered intensively for a month, but it couldn''t endure Soul Core''s forming. Something Huo Yuhao could do at twelve years of age. "Come on..." "Come ON!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth in annoyance and forcibly pushed Universal Breathing Technique to an unknown territory. His brown eyes glowed with beautiful blue light, stirring the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves Art. THUD! His heart stopped beating for a moment. Huo Yuhao''s vision turned hazy, but he immediately bit his tongue to keep awake. He refused to bow down and died in this ce. "I don''t know what you were thinking, Ink Demon..." "You dragged me to this ce and haven''t shown yourself once." "Fuck you..." He grinned, blood running from his mouth. Every bone in Huo Yuhao''s body shattered into pieces, and he used Armament Haki to keep them in ce. Huo Yuhao gradually closed his eyes and reappeared in an unknown space. "Hmph! How rude..." A huff entered his ears. "You should be proud to be invited to my pce, but cursing me? It''s sphemy!" Huo Yuhao blinked and saw an unfamiliar woman with flowing crimson hair and gold eyes. She''s a beauty out of this world and could rival Scathach and Qianye Ying''er natural beauty. But something about her is off. "You''re the Ink Devil?" Huo Yuhao concludes quickly. The woman smiled andmented, "Not bad, two encounters, and you could already tell my identity? The first one is very brief, and you were unconscious." "Well, it doesn''t matter, I suppose." "You''re correct, young Kroman. I''m the 1st Ancient Ink Devil." "Titania von Valstrax." "Hmm, not Admante?" Huo Yuhao countered curiously. Titania rolled her eyes and stated, "Admante is just one of many devil families that inherited my blood. They be so prideful with just some low-tiered perks." "Like hell, I felt embarrassed seeing my bloodline be so thin and used incorrectly. Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline might be the lowest of the lowest rank, but our potential is even higher than Nox Emperor." "Wait, so you are Theomars von Admante''s Ancestor?" Huo Yuhao bes more curious. Hearing that, Titania couldn''t help but feel insulted. "How dare you link me to those low born..." "T-This is Bloodline Harassment!" Titania began to p the empty air with her slender hand and puffed her cheeks, making her so goddamn adorable. After throwing her fits at Huo Yuhao in several colorfulnguages he doesn''t understand, Titania crosses her arms and frowns slightly. She looked at Huo Yuhao and grunted, "You, who obtained my blood out of nowhere, Are irregr. Even though I granted my blood to millions of my followers, none could reach this ce." "Except you." "Yes, you, Theomars." "I believed you to be dead but returned alive weirdly. I didn''t sense anything weird. As if something is interfering with my senses..." Her gold eyes locked on him. ''Huh?'' Huo Yuhao was confused. Is his appearance still Theomars here? That''s weird, but give him a clue this ce wasn''t a soul ne. Titania sighed and added, "Forget it. If your Ancient Ink Devil''s bloodline is one level thicker, I could have activated the fourth locks. What a shame." "Be stronger next time,d." "And don''t do reckless things like this without preparation again." "Or you''ll die, for real this time." "Goodbye, My little Theo~!" She teased while waving her casually. Huo Yuhao shivered and returned, "Don''t call me that-!" ... ... "Guuh!!" Huo Yuhao returned to the bathroom and gasped, screaming at the top of his lungs because Titania forcibly fixed his body. This force is simr to the All-Transforming Ink but much thicker and more flexible. He spewed a gallon of impurities and mumbled, "That was horrible." [Name: Theomars von Admante(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 18(13)] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(Mid)] [Cultivation: 6th ss Devil Warrior(Mid/Recultivated)] [Battle Power: Seventh ss(Low)] [Passive Skill: Healing Factor(B+), Poison Immunity(A), Devil Force(S)] [Active Skill: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, All-Transforming Ink(D+), Eternal Shadow(500+)] [Description: Transmigrated Person, ck Pearl Castle''s Lord, Titania''s Heir, Valstrax''s Only Child] Huo Yuhao walked out of the bathtub and stood before the tall mirror, noticing he was slightly taller and more muscr than before. He''s still lean by any means, but something is different. "My hair... Did they be darker? And my eyes." "The pupil reddened..." Huo Yuhao sighed because he looked like an edgy anime protagonist and washed his body quickly, wearing fresh clothes to visit the watchtower. He hasn''t realized this was just the start of a more significant transformation. Nine months have passed. He officially has stayed in this world for a whole year. Huo Yuhao stood on the highest building of ck Pearl Castle and watched the once-green grasnd now have turned into a dirty battlefield. He closed his eyes andmented, "Time flies so quickly." "I wonder what mom is doing?" "Shishou too." "Ying''er as well." "And the bread muncher, Yuna..." "Ophis, Fia, Kuroka, Raikou-san, Robin... Everyone..." "I missed them..." A weak smile cracked on Huo Yuhao''s face. [Objective: 5.069.693/100.000.000.001] "Your highness! We received a message from the capital!" Damian shouted from the garden. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and jumped,nding beside Damian without causing a speck of dust to fly away. His step is quick yet delicate. "What did they say?" He questioned calmly. Damian nodded and replied, "Admante Family will send 9th ss Devil Warrior to escort you out of this ce. The reason is unclear until that person arrives here." He hesitated and continued, "They thought you died under the monster race''s siege, but the Spiritualist Emma and I have fixed the enchantedmunication device with ck crystal we mined under the castle, sharing our lives here with the capital." "Y-Your highness..." "Are you mad?" Huo Yuhao sighed and replied, "No." "I''m the one who led you to farm the ck crystal and create or fix a device tomunicate with others. Even though ck Pearl Castle was "Clearly." performed just fine, we need to know everyone''s situation." "Don''t be too afraid. I''m not going to kill you or anything." "Also, who''s this 9th ss Devil Warrior?" "I-It''s..." Damian''splexion paled. "It''s your older sister, 2nd Young Lady." "Mercedes von Admante..." A slight headache struck Huo Yuhao''s head as Theomars'' memory shed suddenly. He rubbed his time and was "actually." dumbfounded this information got buried deep in the matrix. ... ... Far far away. A young woman with long braided silver-pink hair and red eyes sat on the flying beast. She wore a red coat and a ck skirt with red trim, fashioning white boots and gloves. Her expression is t, but inside isn''t very much. ''Hehe~!'' She smiled while staring at the blue sky. ''Of course, he''s still alive~!'' ''My little boy toy, Theo~!!"'' Under the young woman''s feet are ten million corpses of the 7th ss Monster. Yes, this is Theomars'' older sister. Mercedes von Admante, or else known as Angel of Admante. Chapter 150: Theomars Traumatic Past Chapter 150: Theomars'' Traumatic Past --- Chapter 150 --- Huo Yuhao was in a dilemma. A fucking dilemma. Like how the fuck this memory isn''t surfaced sooner. Theomars von Admante is a very vocal kid and was once considered one of Admante''s talents, but his not-so-special appearances are rare in the family. His dull appearance makes him stand outpared to his other siblings, which leads to unfortunate bullying from a young age. Admante''s family currently has eight children, three young masters, and five youngdies. Theomars are such a sensation in the family. Before Theomars'' sixth birthday, all his sisters gathered and molested him in the dark room. They trained him to be a little toy and yed around with his body. At nine, the sisters drugged Theomars with an aphrodisiac and locked him in a room full of sex clones. They watched him for a month, viting those clones. The forceful pleasure is enough to make a young mind addicted to sex. When Theomars hit puberty, the sisters took their turn and popped their cherries with him. It was not an enjoyable experience because they tortured him in each session, training him to be obedient. After the 5th sister takes her turn, Theomars is beyond broken and always tries to avoid Admante Mansion at any cost. He doesn''t want to meet or talk with his sister. Even when Theomars reported this to the adult, all they said were his sister were "pranking him." with good times. Hell no. The disgust Theomars had for the sisters couldn''t be described with words. It was such a pleasing coincidence that the monster race attacked Theomars, which led to the new family head(Theomars'' 1st sister) banishing him to this ck Pearl Castle. "Those Bitches..." Huo Yuhao clutched his head, feeling a searing headache. "I''ll make them pay." Maybe this is Theomars'' unpaid anger flowing through Huo Yuhao''s mind presently, but he doesn''t care. There is a difference between pranks and evil acts. Huo Yuhao utilized Universal Breathing Technique to calm his nerves and organize a "warm." wee for the iing 2nd sister of Theomars. He will make that woman pay, making her experience what Theomars experienced in his younger days. "My liege... Your anger." Iris''s head peeked out from the shadow. The adorable shadow cat is worried. "Don''t worry. I''m fine." Huo Yuhao sighed and sat down, patting Iris''s head. [Name: Theomars von Admante(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 19] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(Mid/25%)] [Cultivation: 8th ss Devil Warrior(Mid/Recultivated)] [Battle Power: Ninth ss(Low)] [Passive Skill: Healing Factor(S), Poison Immunity(S), Devil Force(S)] [Active Skill: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, All-Transforming Ink(D+), Eternal Shadow(2.000+)] [Description: Transmigrated Person, ck Pearl Castle''s Lord, Titania''s Heir, Valstrax''s Greatest Child] Huo Yuhao''s Observation Haki surrounded the ck Pearl Castle and reached two kilometers beyond the wall. He saw a flood of the monster race above the 5th ss marching toward this ce. He breathed in and whispered, "Good, I need something to vent my frustration. Just the right for them toe up." "Iris, Brunhilde, Khiron. On your position." "Yes, my liege." Three shadow warriors with menacing auras appeared and kneeled before him. They disappeared a secondter and left Huo Yuhao alone in the garden. Huo Yuhao heard a bell ringing in the castle, meaning a wave of monsters was about to appear. Someone has warned everyone in the area to be in their position and doesn''t do anything reckless. He smiled and kicked the ground, ascending to the sky. "Arise..." His voice is like a deration of war, triggering the looming shadow of the ck Pearl Castle. The shadow warrior appeared one after another from the soil illuminated by the sun, forming three groups of the army. On the edge of a cliff, a shadow centaur with full-ted armor and a zing white me emerged,manding his division to greet the monster race. He was one of the Elite Shadow Warriors, Khiron. One of the very shadows converted on the battlefield for the first time by Huo Yuhao and survived the Nightmare Demon Pot to this day. He was "actually." named after Chiron, a famous individual in Greek Mythology. In the sky, over 700 shadow warriors with wings followed a female warrior shadow named Brunhilde. A winged-monster race(variant) born from the Nightmare Demon Pot, having a constitution of valkyrie and prowess to fight countless enemies. She was wrapped in dress-like armor, burning with pink me. And just like Khiron, Brunhilde is inspired by Valkyrie from Nordic Mythology. Meanwhile, Iris stayed in the backline with 500 shadow warriors of nature like her. As shepressed dark energy into a bow, no exnation was "clearly." needed for her group. A sturdy shadow armor covered Huo Yuhao''s body, which he created through Darkness and Death tempering. Eternal Shadow Armor could resist and absorb the enemy''s attack efficiently, even allowing him to decay them upon touch. Only high-concentration attacks from 9th ss Monster/Warrior could pierce Huo Yuhao''s armor. That''s if he allowed them to touch him. Huo Yuhao clenched his left hand and used All-Transforming Ink into halberd, coating it with Armament Haki. Pointing at the iing monster''s wave, Huo Yuhao huffed and loudly dered, "Attack!" "AAAHHHH!" "WRAAAAA!" "WOOHOO!" The bow squad charged their attacks and lit the arrow with dark energy, burning the tip with ghastly fire. They released the bowstrings andunched a rain of darkness at the enemy. The Valkyrie squad spread out and formed several throwing weapons such as spears and other polearms. Brunhilde equipped herself with ance and shield, charging to the rear end of the enemy line. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Monsters are flying everywhere. They couldn''t fight back this ughter because the 7th ss Monster and lower are fodders for Huo Yuhao''s shadow army. "Remember, no monster!" Khiron brandished his battle ax and began to chop the enemy from the front, ughtering them. His movement is too fast for normal eyes to follow, leaving ck shes on the battlefield. The army followed Khiron and swarmed the monster''s wave. Huo Yuhao focused on the leader and jumped with half his might, leaving a spider web-like crack on the ground. He clenched his grip on the halberd and swung down. "Ripple Blow." A wave-like energy covered Huo Yuhao''s halberd. BOOM! An energy wave akin to a nuke descended on the monster wave and loaded Hou Yuhao''s ears with killing notification. His slightly red eyes don''t even blink when seeing this scenery, the death of a hundred thousand lives with one halberd strike. A single swing of his weapon is enough to obliterate anything lower than 8th ss into nothingness. It also covers a 100 meters radius area that even the 8th ss monster was having a tough time surviving his extreme offense. Death energy is scary, one grazes on the skin, and your lifespan is "instantly." reduced in half. And Darkness Energy is making it worse. Huo Yuhao applied Darkness Energy''s stickiness on his attack, forcing the target to stay on the spot. Once his attack reaches the target, it will kill. After living in this world for one year, Huo Yuhao cared less about shy attacks. This homesickness led him to develop an efficient attack to ughter the whole army of the monster race. The monster race army feared Huo Yuhao and even called him the Ruler of Shadow. However, they couldn''t stop attacking him because the king ordered them to retrieve something from the border castle. Sacrifice doesn''t matter to the monster race(Siluman) because their number is far greater than to the Devil Race. Once they conquer the border castle, the monster race will be undefeated. The shadow army is like a ck me burning through the enemy, swallowing them into the endless darkness. "They sent more fodder this time. I wonder why?" Huo Yuhaomented while checking the Quest''s objective. The number is rolling and increasing each second, reaching 6 million quickly. Huo Yuhao threw the halberd and eliminated three 8th ss monsters in one swoop. "Weird, they seem ten times weaker than before." He added, calling the halberd back. That''s not weird. Huo Yuhao recently broke through the middle stage of the 8th ss Devil Warrior Realm. His strength is also abnormalpared to a typical devil warrior, around six times stronger. Creating an Energy Core in his heart nine months ago granted him almost no dy in energy recovery, which decreased the energy required tounch an energy-based attack. It hastens his growth exponentially. "My liege, we have destroyed our enemies." The three elite shadow warriors kneeled in front of Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded and responded, "Good job." "Transport the corpse into the Jungle Dungeon. I''ll convert and refine themter." The lower-ssed shadows shivered in excitement when hearing Huo Yuhao''s words. It''s a chance for them to be stronger and reach the same noble rank as three elite warriors. Their loyalty toward him is out of the roof. What''s better than serving Huo Yuhao for eternity? Nothing. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao instinctively turned around and saw a dark-skinned monster race. It was an orc with a dirty grin and red tattoos all over its muscr body. The dark-skinned orc pointed at Huo Yuhao and made a slitting gesture across its neck, disappearing into dust. "Was that a provocation?" Huo Yuhao was amused. "Elementary student''s roast is better than that guy." ... ... A night gradually weed Titania, making things easier for the shadow army as they could observe the in better in the darkness. There is a reason why the monster race didn''t dare to attack at night. Jungle Dungeon. Huo Yuhao is refining low-ssed shadow warriors and turning them into the veteran stage, increasing his army''s strength. He doesn''t have to check them up because Evo will notify him. [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran centaur warrior] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran centaur warrior] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran centaur warrior] [You have refined...] [You have refined...] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran winged warrior] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran winged warrior] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran winged warrior] [You have refined...] [You have refined...] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran shadow cat] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran shadow cat] [You have refined 10 Shadow Warriors into a veteran shadow cat] [You have refined...] [You have refined...] His energy is close to 10%, indicating he will stop. Huo Yuhao yawned and grabbed a ripe fruit near him, tasting its sourness for a second to keep him awake. He stood up and looked at the vast jungle area, hearing beasts and dinosaurs roar all over it. A towering creature appeared from tall trees. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw the Jungle Dungeon Boss, a 19ft gold-furred jaguar with a unique ck dots pattern and a body of pure muscle. This beast was huge but possessed a pair of intelligent green eyes. [Jungle Guardian(Level 79/Tamed)] With Voice of all Things, it''s not hard for Huo Yuhao tomunicate with the Dungeon''s Boss. He proposed a term and condition where they could benefit others without destroying this ce. He and ck Pearl Castle''s people will be able to move freely and nt foods in this ce. And the Jungle Guardian will live peacefully under Huo Yuhao''s protection. Appearance is sometimes confusing, as Jungle Guardian is no different than azy house cat. "There, your food." Huo Yuhao pointed at the pile of the monster race''s corpses. Jungle Guardian purred and rubbed her face on Huo Yuhao, giving him a lick. She headed for the food, causing him to chuckle a little. "Then, see ya." He summoned the portal and returned to the basement. Huo Yuhao sensed a strong presence approaching the castle and used Shadow Teleportation to reach the castle''s wall. He focused on the beautiful white moon in the sky and saw an ethereal beauty appear. He smiled coldly because the beauty was none other than Theomars'' 2nd sister, Mercedes von Admante. "No, greeting? Theo has be such a bad boy..." Mercedes''s tone is t, but her intention is clear. Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned casually, "Greeting for who? Your majesty, Mercedes von Admante? I''m not a member of the Admante Family anymore, dear Angel." "..." Mercedes''s eyes widened in surprise. "What? Wanna make me kneel?" Huo Yuhao provoked her again while crossing his arms. "Theomars von Admante was long dead when the monster race ambushed and left him in the cold winter." No, this can''t be. This guy is not the toy Mercedes used to know. The t expression on Mercedes''s face cracked, revealing a suspicious frown. "Who are you..." Huo Yuhao flipped his finger off and dered, "The man before you is Theomars von Valstrax!" "The ck Pearl Castle''s Lord!!" The confidence Huo Yuhao exuded left Mercedes speechless. Mercedes blinked in surprise and noticed Huo Yuhao floating just like her in the sky. He was 30 centimeters away from her. "Theo, Kneel." She said calmly, believing Theomars hadn''t changed at all. And his current confidence is just a facade. "Kneel... Or sister will be mad at you." Huo Yuhao bent his body slightly, causing a smile to appear on Mercedes''s beautiful face. ''Good-!'' Mercedes''s breathing bes heavier. PA! "Eh?" A red palm mark was "abruptly." stered on Mercedes''s left cheek. The heat from Huo Yuhao''s hand is still here, shocking Mercedes to the very core. H-He back-pped her? "Y-You..." PA! Huo Yuhao pped Mercedes again indifferently. "Kneel? Know your ce, bitch..." He said with such venom. Today, Mercedes von Admante will know her ce. Chapter 151: Breaking Mercedes~! Chapter 151: Breaking Mercedes~! --- Chapter 151 --- [Name: Mercedes von Admante(Stunned)] [Age: 24] [Race: Impure Ink Devil(High)] [Cultivation: 9th ss Devil Warrior(Mid)] [Description: A young woman with concealed fetishes. "Sadist Brother Complex." and "Calm outside but extremely depraved inside."] Mercedes froze on the spot, feeling her younger brother''s palm smack her cheeks. It wasn''t something she expected to happen whening to this ce. The face of her brother is cold. It''s not something Theomars von Admante could do because he was such a hopeless child. This person before her is stern and unfeeling, having piercing red eyes that she doesn''t recognize. Theo is weak. Theo is obedient. Theo is a good boy. He would never fight back and does everything she orders with a sweet yet powerless smile. As if he was a puppy. "D-Don''t talk like that to me-!" A wave of anger swelled in Mercedes''s heart, but Huo Yuhao smacked her again. This time with more power to destroy mountains apart. PA! BOOM! Mercedes crashed to the ground with a dumbfounded expression and watched Huo Yuhao''s figure descend from the sky. His red eyes are shining under the white moon, making him look like a demon. He walked toward her slowly, triggering something primal. Fear. Survival Instinct. The Ancient Devil''s presence is not something the Impure-Blooded Devil could fight. Sure, Mercedes inherited a very thin bloodline of Ancient Ink Devil, but that''s it. So what if her cultivation is higher? It doesn''t mean anything in front of the superior bloodline. "D-Don''te here! Don''te, or I''ll kill you!" Huo Yuhao stopped and challenged her, "Do it..." "Kill me." "Give me everything you got, Mercedes von Admante, and show me how talented you are, how smart you are, How powerful you are!" "Here, I''ll defeat your greatest strength until nothing is left behind. After that, you''ll be nothing but just your previous self." Mercedes released her cultivation and forced the whole ground to melt under extreme temperatures. She wanted to defeat Huo Yuhao in one move and concentrated all her strength into one fist. She gritted her teeth and rushed forward recklessly, punching the air with everything she got. "DIE, THEO!" SWOOSH! BAM! Mercedes watched her fist reach Huo Yuhao''s chest and grinned because he would burn to death. Her fiery inner face is erupting like tomorrow, but something unexpected happened. It''s nothing. Yes, Nothing. All of Mercedes''s energy seemed to have disappeared when hitting Huo Yuhao, leaving her helpless. Her eyes widened in shock because any 9th ss Devil Warrior would experience life and death when facing her fist. "This is it?" Huo Yuhaomented with boredom. "This is your best?" "I expected more from Angel of Admante, but you are just an arrogantdy with no power to back it up." Huo Yuhao used Advanced Armament Haki and Eternal Shadow Armor to nullify the damage, but some still went through. It''s painful, but it''s nothingpared to what Theomars has experienced from a young age. "Let me show you the real punch..." Huo Yuhao lifted his right arm and overloaded the area with the Conqueror''s Haki. A storm was brewing in the sky and caused a lighting p. He covered his entire fist with Eternal Shadow and let a smoke-like aura burn on his skin, making the atmosphere even heavier. Mercedes gasped because she couldn''t breathe properly. She looked up and witnessed the mighty being with the power of darkness in his fist. ''I don''t wanna die...'' ''Please, I don''t wanna die...'' Huo Yuhao smiled at her and swung his fist, "Take this... Bitch." ''NOOOOOO-!!'' Mercedes''s life shed, discovering all the moments she went through in thest 24 years. She was such a horrible person and sister to Theomars. If only she could return to the past. BOOM! Huo Yuhao was merciless and sent a deadly uppercut on Mercedes''s chin, sending her flying to the sky. The aftereffect washed the vastnd behind Mercedes, creating a deep groove around 19 kilometers long. It looks no different than a valley. Mercedes, with a bloody appearance, fell from the sky. She was gravely injured mentally and physically, but not life-threatening to kill her. Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to kill Mercedes because that would be too merciful for her disgusting acts. She must pay and know her ce. "Brunhilde, catch and bring her to my room." Huo Yuhao ordered his elite subordinate. He looked down at his right hand and noticed the minor swelling. Weirdly, he felt somewhat satisfied. ''It''s not over yet.'' Huo Yuhao clenched his hand into a fist again. ... ... Mercedes awakened from her nightmare and found herself in an unknown room. She looked around and felt her limbs getting restricted by something. "It''s useless... The energy-dampening chain was "skillfully." made of a special mineral we discovered under the ck Pearl Castle. With it, you can''t use inner energy." A demon voice ticked Mercedes''s ears. Mercedes nervously moved her gaze to the source and saw Huo Yuhao sitting on a chair. The moonlight is showering him with light in this dark room. Huo Yuhao stared at Mercedes andmented, "How was your nap? I make sure none of your injuries are fatal, only some broken bones here and there." "Oh yeah, I also drugged you with the same aphrodisiac you used on me years ago. Just quadruple the dose, which should be enough to fry your brain like a rabbit in heat." "You should feel it, right? The heat." Mercedes''s eyes widened in shock as her entire body zealted up like a hot pocket. She panicked and breathed heavily, feeling something akin to fever hitting her. "Why..." She struggled to speak. Her throat feels so dry. Huo Yuhao smiled and added, "Ah, I also drugged you with a medicinal herb that increases one''s pain sensitivity. For example..." He flicked his finger and creased a small gust that swept over Mercedes''s chest, brushing her nipple. "AAAHH~!!" Mercedes groaned in pain and pleasure, wetting the bed. She rolled her eyes and let out a fountain-like stream from her warm vagina. Huo Yuhao wore tight gloves and walked to Mercedes. "Does it feel good? No, that can''t be, right? Tonight, I''ll make you experience the same pain Theomars went through." "I''ll put you in his ce instead, turning you into a mere cock sleeve." "Prepare yourself, Mercedes." "N-NO! PLEASE! DON''T DO IT!" Mercedes screamed at the top of her lungs. "YES, IT''S MY FAULT! PLEASE, DON''T HURT ME!!" "Too bad... I remember you didn''t say anything and kept torturing Theomars. He pleaded for hours, days, and even months. Only for you and four other bitches to fuck him up." Huo Yuhao pped Mercedes''s face, making her squirt again. "AHHHH~!!" "This is only the beginning." A sinisterugh echoed in the room. ... ... In the basement, the sunlight pierced a small gap between the sewer hole and illuminated a dark room. This room is different from other cells, having a bed and everything needed to interrogate female prisoners. The previous person who lived in the ck Pearl Castle is a perverted man. Thanks to him, Huo Yuhao doesn''t have to waste his time preparing the room for Mercedes. On the wet bed, Mercedes is lying down with a crazed-like expression stered on her face. Her entire body is red from Huo Yuhao''s handling and released musty-smell sweat. She couldn''t count how many times she had cum out of Huo Yuhao''s torture, frying her brain. For an entire night, Mercedes could only moan in agony. Huo Yuhao trained Mercedes into a bitch and trapped her in eternal pain/pleasure. Usually, people will go insane after experiencing such a thing, but 9th ss Devil Warrior sure is mentally strong. She resisted for quite a while until Huo Yuhao began to use a rough method. And the result? Mercedes von Admante was "already." reced with a hot mess of lust. There is no such a thing as Angel of Admante anymore. The woman on this bed is a sex-crazed bitch, whose Huo Yuhao hasn''t finalized into his cock sleeve. He won''t make it easy because she had to experience what Theomars did. "I''ll returnter... I wonder how long you could stay rational? A day, a week? Or maybe a month." Huo Yuhao used Shadow Teleportation and ordered Iris to feed Mercedes with drug-induced foods. She would stay stimted until he felt satisfied. Damian entered the room and said, "Your Highness, the capital is asking for the 2nd youngdy''s report." "What should we do?" Huo Yuhao was changing his shirt and pondered for a second because Mercedes was assigned to check his condition here. He frowned and replied, "Bring the device here." "I''ll handle it." "Themunication is only voice-based, right?" "Yes, your highness." Damian nodded, confirming the function. The butler went out for 3 minutes and brought back a metal box with enchanted characters and ck crystal embedded into it. Telling Damian to activate it, Huo Yuhao manipted his vocal cord and made his voice more feminine, like Mercedes. His mannerism also changed while making conversation with the person in the capital. ''How??'' Damian was speechless. As Putra, he learned many things from the White room, and method acting is just one of many things to deceive his enemy. He wanted to survive in that filthy world where corruption leads, so one persona is not enough for him to live. Specter is one of many names the world uses for Putra Indra Santoso. He is also known for titles such as Thousand-Faced Assassin and the Mercenary King of Southeast Asia. "Everything iscking here... Nheless, I confirmed Theo is alive in the ck Pearl Castle. A powerful figure seemed to protect this ce without the people''s knowledge." "Yes, I also noticed Monster Race''s corpses on the border. I''ll stay here and monitor them for one or two months." Huo Yuhao finished the report with Mercedes''s voice. Damian pped his hand excitedly and asked, "When did you be so skillful in acting, Your Highness?" Huo Yuhao smiled at his past life''s memory and replied, "A long time ago." "Anyway, prepare breakfast." "Right away, Your Highness." Damian left Huo Yuhao alone. Huo Yuhao leaned on the chair and looked at the ceiling because he had less than two months to break Mercedes''s mind. He wished she could suffer longer than this, but the capital would be alerted by her absence. Huo Yuhao guessed someone like Mercedes would stay here for two months without inducing unnecessary suspicion. "Two months, huh?" "I''ll enjoy it the best I can." ... ... Training logs. After one week in the basement, Mercedes became more docile in Huo Yuhao''s hands. She started to appreciate the pain, but he wouldn''t let her feel enjoyment from this. After two weeks, the Angel of Admante acted more submissive and licked Huo Yuhao''s boots happily if he allowed her to do so. She hallucinated more and giggled like a mentally ill patient ward. Three weeks down, Mercedes von Admante''s body could only cum with an order from Huo Yuhao. She perceived this as a reward because he always cucked her from this rare bliss. And four weeks passed, and Mercedes von Admante kneeled on the cold floor and pressed her forehead to the ground. Huo Yuhao dropped several buckets filled with cold water and washed her like an animal. She shivered in joy and mumbled, "Thank you~!" "Thank you, master~!" "Look into my eyes, and what are you, Mercedes?" Huo Yuhao ordered indifferently. Mercedes slowly lifted her head and stared at Huo Yuhao with her dull red eyes. "I''m your cock sleeve, Master~! I''m just a piece of meat with no will that you can use anytime. My body, mind, and soul are yours~!" She dered firmly. "PFFT... HAHAHA!" Huo Yuhao covered his face andughed like a maniac. He felt amazing. Theomars felt amazing. "Then, my cock sleeve. Give me your best performance." Huo Yuhaomanded while sitting on the wooden chair. Mercedes slowly stood on the floor and swayed her body to Huo Yuhao sensually. Since she was naked, her massive breasts jiggled with cold water and dripped down to her wet cunt. Her beautiful face flushed with redness. Crawling to Huo Yuhao, Mercedes licked his boots and moved to the bulging part of his pants. She bit the zipper down and fished out a massiveid penis. Mercedes''s eyes brightened as she tried to make this big boy even bigger. She licked Huo Yuhao''s balls and sniffed the Ancient Devil''s pheromone from him. After getting Huo Yuhao''s cock erect, Mercedes gave him a masterful blowjob and used her throat despite gagging a few times. Huo Yuhao cummed inside her mouth and told her to swallow. Glug~! Mercedes swallowed the whole thing and opened her mouth to show Huo Yuhao no semen left. "Master, then this cock sleeve will do her duty." She stepped on the stool and ced her cunt above his erect cock. "Wait..." Huo Yuhao suddenly said. Mercedes stopped, trembling because her muscles twitched when hearing Huo Yuhao''s order. She gasped and waited for him to finish. "Once you pierce your worthless cunt with my cock, You''ll ept your fate as nothing but cock sleeve for eternity. Are you aware?" He smiled at her. "Mercedes, I''ll give you a chance..." "We can stop here. You can return to the capital with no attachments left." "You''re free to do anything." "Or you can stay here and be a good cock sleeve for me. Permanently." Mercedes''s mind was in chaos because this was her dream to run away from this ce. However, she cannot. However, she can''t live without Huo Yuhao''s order any more. The pain and pleasure he has given to her are engraved deeply in her body, mind, and soul. His touch and words are simply like divine order to her. What''s good about being Admante''s 2nd youngdy and Angel of Admante anyway? Cock sleeve is way better than that empty title. Huo Yuhao pped Mercedes''s ass and whispered, "I give you one minute to decide... Shove my dick inside or leave this ce-!" "I''LL BE A SLAVE!" Mercedes immediately dropped her hips down and arched her back in pleasure. "I''LL BE YOUR SLAVE FOR ETERNITY." "Use me whatever you want, so break and mold me into anything!" "I''m YOURS~!!" Mercedes is shaking her hips rapidly and feels intense pain because Huo Yuhao''s big cock is hitting her womb. She hissed in pleasure and cried happily. "Mercedes, when I filled your worthless cunt with my semen. I want you to cum your brain out. Erase your former self from your mind." Huo Yuhao bites into her nipple. "Erase and rece it with a ve called Mercy." "Yes, YES~!!" Mercedes''s pussy bes even tighter. Huo Yuhao choked her neck and shouted, "I''m cumming, DIE MERCEDES!" "AAAHHHHNNNN~!!!" Mercedes cummed hard and grinned like a fool, erasing the young woman named Mercedes von Admante from her mind. From now on, she''s Mercy. A good-for-nothing cock sleeve.

"Tell me this isn''t a joke." [Yes, you canmunicate with the homeworld for one hour after finishing this mini Quest] Evo answered monotonously. [The system has noticed instability in your mind, so I think this is a viable reward for your hard work] Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel and mumbled, "One hour..." "Mom." "Ying''er." "Shishou." "Yuna." "Everyone..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but cry in happiness. He could finally hear their voices again. He wiped the tears and firmly resumed, "I''ll finish this Quest quickly." Chapter 152: Monster Races Nest Chapter 152: Monster Race''s Nest --- Chapter 152 --- Two months have passed after Mercedes von Admante, the hateful sister of Theomars, came to visit the ck Pearl Castle. Unfortunately, she doesn''t bring anyone with her. After the one-month process, Huo Yuhao treated Mercy(Mercedes''s nickname) a little better. He brought the once sadist woman with an extreme brotherplex outside and assigned her as a maid. The following month is nd as Huo Yuhao fought the monster race and did Dual Cultivation with Mercy. Her 9th ss Devil Warrior Cultivation is beneficial, considering the energy needed to break through is higher for him. And she dly followed his order without any problem. Currently, This is Mercy''s Status. [Name: Mercy(Mercedes von Admante)] [Age: 24] [Race: Impure Ink Devil(Superior)] [Cultivation: 9th ss Devil Warrior(Mid)] [Description: Huo Yuhao''s ve with several fetishes. A "Hardcore Masochist." and "Self-Depreciating Pet."] On the battlefield, Huo Yuhao destroyed another wave of the monster race, and Mercy supported him from behind. After doing things with him continuously in thest month, Mercy''s blood experienced qualitative changes. She bes slightly more powerful and fitter than before. However, this also changes her Devil Force. Her "Devil Force." is formerly called "Roar of me Ogre." which allowed her to wield fiery inner energy. It went into aplete change and became the "Nursemaid of Ink''s Steel.". An auxiliary ability to treat any wounds with her inner energy. With it, Mercy also could enhance her physical strength and inflict a "curse-like wound." that starts to bleed continuously. It also works on bloodless creatures, but the harm done will be equal to a wound. Huo Yuhao shed through the monster race with his halberd and frowned because a thousand arrow-like projectiles wereing toward him. "Crash." He charged the halberd with Eternal Shadow and waved at the sky, creating a shockwave that repelled the arrows. BOOM! Rhino Siluman appeared out of nowhere and struck him with significant momentum. Huo Yuhao groaned for a moment and mmed his hand on the monster''s head. BAM! The Rhino Siluman''s head is blown apart by Darkness Energy. "The fuck... What was that?" Huo Yuhao was speechless because his Observation Haki couldn''t sense thising. His spatial awareness is high, but this rhino guyes out of nowhere. Teleportation? No, Huo Yuhao should have sensed teleportation with his Eternal Shadow Domain. An absolute field where any beings will get noticed upon stepping on it. "Master, Are you okay~?" Mercy approached Huo Yuhao and lifted his hand, licking it with care. Huo Yuhao felt better and replied, "Yeah." "I was caught off guard." "Ah, no wonder..." Mercy looked down at the monster race''s corpse and frowned suspiciously. "This Rhino Siluman is from a powerful n amongst the monster race. They could hide from the enemy''s spiritual sense and skip one mile in one step." "It appeared to be teleportation at first nce, but you can counter them easily with Spiritual Disarray, changing the wavelength of your spiritual energy constantly." "Lure them in, and finish them in one blow." "n..." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. "How many ns do monster races have?" Mercy tilted her head and answered, "We have recorded over 202.932 ns. They keep breeding like no tomorrow and create a new monster every winter." "As long as you can identify their innate characteristics, the weakness should be pretty clear." "After we finish this wave, I want you to share everything rted to the monster race with me." Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought. "Of course, through mental transfer." "Okay~!" Mercy responded cheerfully. She was happy her knowledge would be helpful for her Master. She might get a small reward. The shadow army faced the 7th ss Monster Wave just fine and ughtered everything before them. Huo Yuhao and Mercy went further to the enemy''s line and shed with several 8th ss Monsters. Huo Yuhao doesn''t have a hard time familiarizing himself with the monster race''s characteristics. He recorded every enemy he encountered and stored them in his mind, creating a battle-proof n to kill them quickly. Some unknown enemies created trouble for him, but Evo''s scan will help him out of a tight spot. It wasn''t good because he wanted to be less reliant on the system. Huo Yuhao realized many things in thest 14 months, having zero ess to the upgrade function and everything he built. Even though the training was "strongly." ingrained in his mind, there was a limit on his path. It is a moment when his White Room traininges to light. "What''ll you do when there is a missing piece in a puzzle?" "And you can''t rece this piece." "Break the puzzle apart..." Huo Yuhao''s halberd danced in the air. "And rebuild everything from zero, assembling a new one." "A new perfect one." [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves has reached level 3] Huo Yuhao''s halberd appeared in a phantom state, swirling with shadowy energy. Facing an enemy with strong inner and external defense, he created a ripple in the air and sent out a devastating attack. "Tremor''s Cleave." SWOOSH! BOOM! Mercy covered her eyes from dust and saw the sky and ground split in two by Huo Yuhao''s attack. She was dumbfounded because Huo Yuhao hadn''t reached the 9th ss Devil Warrior Realm. He couldn''t ess Greater Inner Energy yet, but his attack could affect nature already. It is abnormal. However, Mercy felt this was normal for some reason. Why is she so shocked? ''What do I expect? Silly Mercy, Master is always the best~!'' She nodded proudly. Huo Yuhao doesn''t stop there and suddenly throws his weapon at a small rock formation near Mercy. ''Eh?'' Mercy felt a cold breeze on her neck. BOOM! She turned around and saw the rock formation turn into a dark-skinned orc. Her red eyes squinted in disgust. "Ugly..." Shemented honestly. "Kuugh! Bastard, how did you feel my presence?!" The Orc screamed at Huo Yuhao. He stomped the ground and summoned a sturdy club made of rock. Huo Yuhao smirked and replied, "Be smarter next time, Orc. This ce was a freaking grasnd before." "Do you think hiding as a small rock formation makes sense?" Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to waste his time and rushes toward the dark-skinned Orc with Extreme Lightning Mirage, coating his halberd in Advanced Armament Haki. This Orc provoked him first two months ago, but he never faced him personally. He only watches from afar. Today is different. The Orc tried to ambush his ve. ''No one touches my thing.'' Huo Yuhao appeared on the Orc''s side and struck the monster''s stomach. BAM! CRACK! "ARGGGHHH-!!" "YOU KROMAN BASTARD!!!" The Orc moved in time but lost half of his body. Death Energy is cutting his lifespan constantly. The monster tried to run away, but an arrow struck him on the forehead. Iris watched the battlefield with cat-like purple eyes, waving her hand at Huo Yuhao because she was doing a good job. Huo Yuhao waved back and questioned Mercy, "What about this monster? Is he from a n?" Mercy breathed out nervously and answered, "First, thank you." "And second, no." "This Orc is one of the unique cases I mentioned before. A newly bred monster." "But... I have never seen one this strong. An 8th ss monster that could hide its presence from 9th ss Devil Warrior? Such an absurd monster grows to this stage in just one winter." "This is a sign of dangerous cmity." "No shit, sherlock. I literally warned the Crown Princess about this apocalypse." Huo Yuhao was annoyed. "Huh?" Mercy reacted weirdly. "Crown Princess? She disappeared 14 months ago, though." "The monster wave started to attack the capital and turned everything into chaos. We survived because several 9th ss Devil Warriors lived there, but the Crown Princess never returned from her journey." "..." Huo Yuhao. Something is strange. "Theomars... Bastard..." The dark-skinned Orc whispered before passing away. "Kill..." ''Evo, Scan this Orc''s bodyposition, NOW!'' Huo Yuhao instructed his system. [Name: None] [Type: Monster Race(Siluman)] [Grade: 8th ss(Mid)] [Description: An Variant of Orc Siluman birthed by Kroman''s womb, bing stronger after rapid consumption of inner energy] "Shit." "Fucking Shit." "No wonder they keeping like an endless wave..." Huo Yuhao cursed while opening Evo''s map. He viewed thendscape around the ck Pearl Castle and noticed the open sea on the north. There is also a nk spot on the east with several question marks. "Mercy, what''s the ce on the east? The mountain there." He pointed at the mountain range 2000 miles away from the castle. Mercy looked there and answered, "Uh... Hormes''s Mountain? It''s a hunting ground the Karuta Empire hasn''t used in a while. There is nothing there." "No, there is something there." Huo Yuhao scowled in disgust. "That ce is a monster race breeding center." ... ... "Is this true..?" A solemn voice came from themunication device powered by the ck crystal. The capital was shocked after listening to Mercy''s report about Hormes''s mountain. Mercy nced at Huo Yuhao and answered, "Yes. I had this weird suspicion for a month staying here, but to think the monster race will build a nest there." "That''s why I requested aid from the capital. One more 9th ss Warrior will be helpful here, and my 2nd younger sister will be a perfect candidate for it." The person on the other side went silent for a moment and sternly questioned, "Mercedes von Admante, don''t tell me..?" "Don''t tell me you want to add more merit for Admante Family? You''re too much." "Of course not," Mercy replied immediately. She wanted Master to enve her sister too. "The nest is located in Hormes''s Mountain, a hunting ground with several mountain ranges and caves. My sister''s "Hymn of Thousand Wings." will be the most suitable ability for this mission." "After all, wind energy could scan the area more efficiently." "Fine. I''ll ry the mission to the Admante Family." The capital receiver responded. "ra von Admante will be there in 4-6 hours." Closing the call, Mercy sighed in relief because acting like Mercedes made her feel sick. She jumped to Huo Yuhao and said, "Master, Am I a good girl?" "I''m luring a new ve for you~!" Huo Yuhao pinched Mercy''s cheek and praised, "Yes, Mercy is a good girl." "Hehe~!" Mercy shivered in joy. Huo Yuhao actually sent his shadow warriors to Hormes''s Mountain and discovered the nest one hour ago. He was correct about this ce being a breeding ce for a monster race. Even so, he couldn''t find a trace of the Crown Princess and her followers. He doesn''t feel an emotional bond to the Crown Princess or this world because everything is just a replication/simtion of the millennium crude. However, he couldn''t let the monster''s nest grow continuously like this. Burning that ce down should have added a decent number to his Objective''s meter. [Objective: 19.890.931/100.000.000.001] "My liege." Iris and Brunhilde returned from their area scouting. Huo Yuhao told Mercy to be his chair and asked, "Do you find something else there?" Iris opened her mouth first and reported, "I discovered over 300 caves connected in the Hormes''s Mountain. There are around 30 million 5 to 7th ss monsters there." "I couldn''t go deeper because my presence will alert them." Brunhilde followed and added, "I also discovered an independent realm inside the hunting ground. That ce was "weirdly." protected with an ancient contraption." "I can''t check inside. Yet, I did see some 8th ss monsters guarding that area." Huo Yuhao viewed Brunhilde''s memory and saw an altar surrounded by 8th ss Monsters. "Hmm... They aren''t guarding this ce. They are waiting for something or maybe someone." Hemented calmly. "Anyway... Have a rest, Iris, Brunhilde." The shadow warriors nodded and returned to the Eternal Shadow Realm. "Ahn~!" Mercy let out a moan, feeling the heaviness of Huo Yuhao''s body on her weight. It felt so good. "I''ll take a quick shower and nap. Stays here and greets ra when she arrives." Huo Yuhao ordered while walking away. Mercy grinned and replied, "Hai, Master~!" Aftering cleaning his body, Huo Yuhao went to his bedroom and took a nap. He breathed in, sinking deeply into a dream world. "Wee." A familiar voice greeted him. Huo Yuhao wanted to dream about his homeworld, but Titania always ruined it. Yes, every time he tried to sleep, the Ancient Ink Devil dragged him into her realm. "Can you let me sleep peacefully?" Huo Yuhao red at Titania. Titania puffed her cheeks andined, "Hmph! I''m giving you many pieces of advice, but what is your attitude to me? Forget about the clue. I won''t tell you about the altar now!" "I won''t talk to you anymore..." ''What are you? Kindergarten kid?'' Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead. "Tch, what do you want?" Titania nced and swayed her redhead away, refusing to talk. Huo Yuhao let out a frustrated grunt and said, "Fine... I''m sorry. What do you want, Titania?" "Artifact," Titania responded with a still-mad look. "There is an artifact inside that altar. It would help you refine the Ancient Ink Devil even further." "You have one day left before the full moon." Huo Yuhao pondered and asked, "What''s the Artifact?" "The name of the artifact is Fairy King''s Canvas," Titania answered, concealing the truth from Huo Yuhao. Chapter 153: The Great Ones Trial Chapter 153: The Great One''s Trial --- Chapter 153 --- "I felt dizzy." Huo Yuhao breathed in, using his mental energy to clear everything clouding his mind. After talking to Titania for three hours in her realm, Huo Yuhao gained enough information about the altar in the Hormes'' Mountain. And that ce is more a graveyard than a hunting ground, ording to her. It was "actually." created to store one of the worldly artifacts, Fairy King''s Canvas. A scroll with a clean golden beast''s skin cover tied with silver silk rope. Titania refuses to tell him about the Artifact''s power, which is somewhat troublesome. She hid something, but he couldn''t do anything about it. "What''s she nning?" "Titania... Ancient Ink Devil." Huo Yuhao sighed and jumped from his bed, grabbing a coat because the weather began to get colder these days. He used Universal Breathing Technique to keep his body warm and sensed a powerful presence approaching the ck Pearl Castle. ''Oh, another bitch ising to the trap.'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile sinisterly. He could get a chance tomunicate with the homeworld after enving five of them. He literally killed two birds with one stone, avenging Theomars and fulfilling his desire. ... ... Mercy hummed in her room and stared at the night sky with a dull gaze, yawning out of boredom. Feeling the heat on her cheeks, She wanted to get punished for some reason. Huo Yuhao prohibited Mercy from pleasuring herself, so she could only imagine wild things in her mind. It could only push her to the edge, but never enough for her to be satisfied. Still, Mercy followed his order happily. "Ahn... So wet." She mumbled while feeling a familiar presence in the atmosphere. This gale of winds, it must be ra. Peeking through the window, Mercy sees a beautiful young woman with long pink hair and ruby-like eyes. She wore a ck battledress and slick white pants wrapped around her thighs perfectly. ck robe draped on her shoulder, flowing gently because of the breeze. ''You will be a fine ve like me, ra.'' Mercy hungrily thought. She walked to the veranda and weed ra von Admante with her "Mercedes." persona. "Evening, sister. You must have been tired after the long journey. Why don''t we have tea time first." She said calmly. ra smiled and replied, "Sure. This ce is further than I expected." As ra entered Mercy''s room, she looked around for a person and frowned because he wasn''t there. She wanted to ask her sister about this, but the monster nest''s matter was more important. She could have funter. It''s been one year, so waiting for a day to meet her little brother isn''t that much of a difference. ra couldn''t help but lick her lips in excitement. Sitting on the chair, ra watched her older sister Mercedes von Admante pouring tea into a cup. The warm yet rxing aroma tickled her nose. "Here..." Mercy handed her the cup. "It''s one of my newest brews. I named it spring''s dream." "What a name," ramented while sipping the tea, feeling her mouth overwhelmed with a pleasant aroma. She finished the cup in 3 seconds and asked her sister for more. Mercy poured the tea again and sat opposite ra, smiling in expectation because this foolish woman had drunk drugged tea. It was a colorless, tasteless, scentless drug Huo Yuhao created and used on her two months ago. "Oh yeah, about Theo-!" ra smashed her face on the table and was "suddenly." knocked out cold as the drug''s effect was flowing so fast in her nervous system. "Hmm..." Mercy poked ra''s face a few times. "It worked too well." Huo Yuhao casually entered the room and looked at ra, grinning indifferently. Theomars'' sisters fell into his trap, one after another. He couldn''t wait to break all of them and get the Quest''s reward. [Name: ra von Admante] [Age: 22] [Race: Impure Ink Devil(High)] [Cultivation: 9th ss Devil Warrior(Mid)] [Description: 3rd Young Lady of Admante Family. Likes "Pegging her brother." and "Humiliating other people."] "Bring ra to the basement and lock her with Energy-Dampening Chains." Huo Yuhao ordered Mercy. "Fed her with the more sensitivity-enhancing drug. I''ll be back after checking the Hormes''s Mountain." "Yes, Master~!" Mercy saluted, dragging ra from her legs. Huo Yuhao covered himself in the Eternal Shadow and used "Shadow Exchange." to reach the Hormes Family. He arrived at the highest point of the mountain range and checked the area with his Observation Haki. "Arise." He called his shadow army. "You guys will go to the monster nest and close every entrance with sturdy rocks." "Your wish is ourmand, my liege." The army responded while moving through the darkness. Once the caves were closed, Huo Yuhao would flood the cave with Death Energy and kill every monster quickly. Since they couldn''t escape, none of them could survive this ambush. Huo Yuhao proceeded to the altar on the hunting ground and used All-Transforming Ink into a longbow. He didn''t want to attract attention, so he covered the arrows with advanced armament haki. SWOOSH! Several arrows flew past the darkness and reached the altar at an rming pace, piercing through the 8th ss Monster. Huo Yuhao teleported there and watched the corpse getting drowned in the eternal shadow realm. "Not bad." Huo Yuhaomented on his archery ability. He could improve it more with "ripple enforcement." from the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves Technique, piercing the enemy effortlessly. However, this was a sufficient stage for now. Walking to the altar, Huo Yuhao pricked his finger and dropped his ck blood on the unique-shaped contraption. He sensed a movement and felt the altar shaking violently. Titania''s cheeky smile shed in his mind. "Fuck, Titania, you devil-!" Huo Yuhao cursed and disappeared with a blinking blue light. Opening his eyes slowly, Huo Yuhao saw a white path with two flowing ink-like water on each side. The wateres from the white quartz walls, giving him an eerie feeling. Far from Huo Yuhao''s position, a pagoda made of pure gold stood brilliantly. "The Great One''s Trial. Walk past the path of agony without using inner energy." An ancient voice echoed in this ce. Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in annoyance as Titania tricked him into taking this trial. He sighed in defeat, walking forward without using inner energy. A bubble appeared on the ink-like water, making Huo Yuhao frown slightly. SPLASH! It was a small creature with a goblin-like appearance. No, it''s a group of goblins, but their skin is bronze instead of the usual green. Huo Yuhao used the All-Transforming Ink because it didn''t consume inner energy and began to kill the bronze goblin, finding them quite agile and skillful in team coordination. Yet, they are weak. After killing the goblin, Huo Yuhao discovered they were "literally." created from ink. No, this isn''t like Sai''s drawing in Naruto World, but something more realistic, like a living creature. Birthing lives from ink. Ancient Ink Devil is indeed more outrageous in potential than Nox Emperor. Huo Yuhao kept walking and faced a different enemy with increasing difficulty. At first, it was just a group of bronze goblins. Then, Hobgoblin. And currently, a Goblin King. Huo Yuhao dodged a massive club and swung his ink-transformed halberd at the Goblin King. He frowned because this guy has 8th ss Monster''s strength and defense. ROAR! The Goblin King roared and lunged forward,unching a flurry of punches at Huo Yuhao. These punches were enough to tten a small mountain, but Huo Yuhao evaded them at a hair-thin distance. He observed the bronze-skinned creature with his red eyes and was fascinated byws applied to such a thing. This thing isn''t just alive but able to make its own decision. A conscious being Huo Yuhao failed to create when making Artificial Intelligent: Giana. He had to copy his consciousness when creating that adorable bratty AI, but Goblin King is different. BOOM! The club smashed the white concrete floor and created a crack, causing debris to fly everywhere. Huo Yuhao changed his weapon into a dagger and disappeared from Goblin King''s vision. Goblin King turned around and felt someone grabbing his neck. ROAR! "Die." Huo Yuhao coated the dagger with advanced armament haki, stabbing the Goblin King''s neck. The inner destruction pulverized Goblin King from the inside. BOOM! SPLAT! The Goblin King exploded into ck ink, sshing everywhere. Huo Yuhao wiped his face andmented, "Well, Giana is better, I assume. She''s more intelligent than this guy." He stretched his body a little because that was a good warm-up. He walked forward and noticed there was a 10 meters distance between him and the pagoda. Huo Yuhao''s Observation Haki was alerted because a ck sh suddenly split his body into two. He couldn''t do anything and watched his leg still standing on the ground. That''s 3 seconds in the future. BOOM! Huo Yuhao stepped back instinctively and watched a towering giant before him. "Holy shit..." He mumbled in disbelief. An Ogre has appeared. If Goblin King is considered enormous, this Ogre is a literal giant. However, this is not just any Ogre. But Ogre King himself. Huo Yuhao has receivedpiled information about the Devil and Monster of this world from Mercy. A powerful devil given the title of the Great Ogre King founded the Karuta Empire''s Neighbour, Kamine Empire. The record rumored that Ogre King was a giant-like being with red copper skin, bulging yet lean muscle, and terrifying pupil-less ck eyes. He possessed insane power and dominion over steel and fire. A mountain around the size of Hormes''s mountain vanished when the Ogre King swung his fist once. Just Once! He''s a transcendent devil who reached the rumored 10th ss Devil Warrior Realm. Mercy''s former Devil Force is only half of Ogre King''s Devil Force. And it is still powerful enough to put her among 9th ss Devil Warriors. "Can we talk?" Huo Yuhao put on a weak smile. SWOOSH! A massive steel greatsword flew at him. "Yeah, I think so too." Huo Yuhao stepped aside and dodged the greatsword, turning his ink dagger into a halberd. Ogre King released a battle cry and shook the whole ce, making dust drop from the ceiling. Huo Yuhao was unfazed because his will was not weak enough to be pressured by such intimidation. After all, He has fought Gods and Devils in the past. "Come here, boy." Huo Yuhao released his Conqueror''s Haki. "Let''s see who is stronger here." BAM! BOOM! The whole realm is shaking because of the sh between Huo Yuhao and the Ogre King. They exchanged blows and injured each other gravely with their weapons. Huo Yuhao grinned and felt his whole body cracking under Ogre King''s attacks. He waved his halberd wildly and shed through the red copper-skinned being''s Achilles tendon, severing the movement speed. He grabbed the flying greatsword and threw it back at the Ogre King''s head. CLANK! The Ogre King scowled as the greatsword created a spark when touching his skin. He tried to move but hadn''t fully recovered his Achilles tendon yet. Huo Yuhao took this chance and blew Ogre King''s legs. GRAAA! Several steel weapons appeared out of thin air and burned with fiery yellow mes. Huo Yuhao breathed in, focusing all his energy on one point. He coated his leg with armament haki and stomped the quartz floor, breaking them into pieces. He kicked the debris to the Ogre King''s steel weapons and made them fly everywhere. His red eyes shone in the cloud of dust, eyeing the giant prey. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The steel weapon struck the walls, ceiling, and ground. Huo Yuhao appeared below Ogre King''s abdomen and struck the giant''s pressure points with his fist. Usually, it would be hard because pressure points need precision to be applied. And when your enemy is 100 times the size of a human, applying force to pressure points is effortless. ''This guy...'' Huo Yuhao frowned because a heat suddenly came from Ogre King''s body. His fist is slightly charred because of it. "Do you think a little burn will stop me?" "Don''t make meugh..." He dug his feet into the floor andnded a decisive blow on Ogre King''s stomach, leaving a dent. BOOM! The Ogre King''s body lifted from the ground for a moment. And a shockwave washed the whole realm. Huo Yuhao mmed his hand into Ogre King''s stomach and pierced it with All-Transforming Ink. He flowed it through, clenching his hand to create countless spikes coated with advanced armament haki. CRACK! Breaking sounds echoed in the room. The Ogre King''s body is pierced by thousand ck spikes from inside, having several pokes through his skin. "Inner Destruction..." Huo Yuhao pulled the All-Transforming Ink. BOOM!! Arge portion of Ogre King''s body evaporated, causing dripping ink tond on the white floor. The Ogre King spewed out a mouthful of ink and kneeled on the ground with a small smile. "W-Well done... Devil..." "Warrior." Huo Yuhao wanted to extract Ogre King''s Shadow, but the trial would be over when he used Inner Energy. And sadly, he wouldn''t be able to because this guy doesn''t have a soul. "Canva..." The Ogre King raised his finger and pointed at the pagoda before melting into ink. Huo Yuhao looked down at the ink and mumbled, "What a waste." "Still, good fight." He gave the Ogre King an honorable salute, walking to the pagoda with a rxed expression. Huo Yuhao wiped the blood from his lips and smirked because he had learned many things from this fight. He could apply them to Eternal Shadowter. And the All-Transforming Ink might be able to mimic these beings. He stepped on the stairs and looked at the pagoda, which was much taller from close. He shook his head and touched the pagoda, hearing a ss-breaking noise from inside it. The pagoda crumbled and revealed a treasure box made of an unknown metal. It opened itself and showed Huo Yuhao several items. A scroll. A copper-colored gem. And a hammer. cksmith Hammer. [Fairy King''s Canvas] [Ogre King''s Heart] [Ogre King''s Hammer] "..." Huo Yuhao. "Okay..." "I''ll take them." Huo Yuhao threw Ogre King''s items into the inventory. Upon touching the Fairy King''s Canvas, Huo Yuhao arrived at a new ce and saw a familiar-looking young woman. "Crown Princess?" Huo Yuhao approached her but didn''t sense any sign of life. There are also several injuries across her body. "She failed the trial and died." Titania suddenly appeared. "Teresa and her followers got ambushed by the monster race 14 months ago, falling to the Hormes Mountain. Since their enemies are 8th ss Monsters, they couldn''t fight back." "She entered the Great One''s Trial. Unfortunately, she was barely a 7th ss Devil Warrior and perished when facing the Goblin King." "This ce is called Inkless Land... It preserves her corpse and soul." Huo Yuhao stared at Teressa andmented, "Too bad. You told me to survive but die sooner instead." "You can revive Teressa when reaching 10th ss, you know." Titania hummed yfully. "It''s such a waste to leave a beautiful fiancee of yours to die, no?" Huo Yuhao flicked Titania''s forehead and said, "I don''t even care about her. And I''m still mad at your trick, Titania." "Hmph, then what do you want to do with her?" Titania crossed her slender arms. "About that..." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. "Arise..." ... ... Huo Yuhao returned to the outside world and was "immediately." greeted by an altar''s sight. He called for his elite shadows and learned they had executed his order perfectly. In a great mood, Huo Yuhao followed Iris to the nearest cave entrance and saw a massive yet sturdy rock. He grabbed the rock and tried to sense every monster inside this ce, finding Crown Princess''s followers in the deepest part. They aren''t in the state of living anymore, bing a glob of meat to produce a monster. "Kill me..." "Kill Us!" Huo Yuhao''s Voice of all Things heard some words. He shook his head wryly and said, "Rest in peace." Death Energy escaped Huo Yuhao''s palm and flooded the cave with dread, killing every monster inside quickly. Millions of them dropped on the ground cold. [You have killed 36.990.234 Monster Race] Evo was notified shortly after. "Shadow Army... Start moving those corpses to the Jungle Dungeon. I''ll do intense refining with Nightmare Demon Pot after this." Huo Yuhao used Shadow Exchange, returning to the ck Pearl Castle instantly. He stretched his body and continued, "Just onest thing before I finish this day." "Let''s break ra into submission." Chapter 154: Turning Clara into a Pet~! Chapter 154: Turning ra into a Pet~! --- Chapter 153.5 --- ra Pov. A weird smell invaded my nostrils, and I woke up chained on the ground like an animal. This choker makes it hard for me to breathe, but something is more suffocating than that. "Mercedes..." I scowled at my older sister. "What''s the meaning of this?!" Lashing out my anger, Mercedes smiled faintly and grabbed a horsewhip. Fwip! My sister spanked me on the butt. I screamed at the top of my lungs, squirming in pain as my dder emptied itself. She makes her orgasm with a spank. There is no way. My breathing bes heavier, and the room bes blurry for some reason. I couldn''t think of anything besides the fierce heat on my body. No, I must resist. I must escape this ce. Theo. Yes, Theo. That little good-for-nothing should be able to avert Mercedes''s attention and let me escape this ce. First, I have to use my inner energy-! Crieek. The cell door was suddenly opened, revealing a handsome young man with ck hair and red eyes. "T-Theo..." It can''t be. Theo isn''t handsome. He''s cute but never a bad boy. "Ahn, Master~!" Mercedes acted like a spoiled girl and stuck herself on Theomars'' body like glue. She''s grinding her body on him. Theomars pushed Mercedes away and looked at him. He opened his mouth andmented, "What a pathetic state you are in, ra von Admante." "Chain like an animal... How does it feel? Humiliated, isn''t it." Before I could open my mouth, Theomars kicked me in the guts and caused my whole body to convulse in pleasure. I cummed hard and squirted on the floor. He grabbed my pink hair in disgust and whispered, "I''ll make you undergo what Theomars experienced in the past. Turning you into an animal or maybe a personal pet should be enjoyable for a while." "HAHAHA~!!" Hisughs drilled through my ears. "Mercy, hand me the injection." He grabbed my wrist and injected something into me. I don''t know what it was, but my five senses are bing more disorganized. Theomars teased my skin with cylinder ice and rubbed it for several minutes. My younger brother called me things and slowly reached down to my wet pussy, thrusting the ice inside the fleshy hole. "AHhn..." I hissed in pain. The ice was freezing my lower mouth, triggering the pain and pleasure receptors. I wanted to cum so bad! I wanted to squirt the floor!! "No, you can''t." He pressed his finger on my crotch, edging me into an awkward spot. "Who said you can cum, you little bitch..." "In this game, I''m the rule... Abide by the rules..." "Oh, wait? I forgot you''re not even a person." "You''re an animal." Theomars pulled my head to match his eyes. Those red eyes are terrifying. But why? Why does it feel so hot? Why does getting humiliated by him turn me on?! For the next two hours, Theomars slowly tortured me in eternal pain and pleasure. Mercedes also took her chance, plugging something heavy into my ass. When I wanted to cum, he magically pressed the area around my womb and stopped me from getting off. What a devil. Theomars also made me drink unknown substances, making my head feel funny. Three hours in, and I couldn''t take it anymore. I bounced my ass like a whore. I rubbed my thighs against each other, feeling the coldness of an ice dildo in my pussy. Theomars watched me in amusement, looking down on my pitiful self. "Do you want to cum?" He asked with the widest grin ever. Hearing this question, I nodded franticly and spouted nonsense, "Yhesh~! Pweas! Leme chuuUUM~!!" Theomars pped my cheek instead and ced a chastity belt around my waist. I could feel the ice dildo dig deeper into my pussy. "Only a good girl pet could cum..." He patted my head. "Are you a good girl?" "I don''t think so." "NOOOOOOO!" I screamed hopelessly. Theomars walked away, disappearing from my vision gradually. "Oh my, what a shame." Mercedes''s high-pitched voice echoed in the room. "That won''t do, ra." "Master won''t let you cum with that weak begging." "Since you are an animal, beg like one..." "You deserved it, after all." ''Like an animal...'' I thought to myself. I''m not an animal, though. Am I? "Here, let me teach you..." My older sister was such a helper. ... ... Normal Pov. Huo Yuhao sipped his evening tea and enjoyed the scenery, having a rxing time. It''s been 12 hours since he locked ra von Admante in the basement and broke her. Her character is less assertive than Mercedes, making it easier for him to influence the disgusting sister of Theomars. He also used a higher dosage of hallucinogen and dopamine-increased drug to keep her stimted. It makes him look like a viin. Well, he doesn''t care. This ce wasn''t real, to begin with, right? Once he finished the Emergency Quest, he would return to his homeworld and reunite with his family. Six hourster, Mercy returned with a cheeky smile and reported ra''s training had been very smooth. Huo Yuhao only has to step in and take control of everything. "No, keep ra there for a few more days. Starved her." Hemented lightly. "And only let her drink Hallucinogen." "Aye~!" Mercy followed his order. Six dayster, Huo Yuhao went to the basement and checked ra''s condition. She''s staring at the iron bars mindlessly. Huo Yuhao stood in front of the cell''s bar and observed her reaction. "Woof~!" ra barked, cracking a smile on Huo Yuhao''s face. And for thest test, Huo Yuhao opened the door and said, "You''re free, ra. Walk out and gain your freedom." "Come on. You only have 3 minutes." ra stared silently and sat on the floor like a good doggo. After three minutes, Huo Yuhao entered the room and still let the door open. She submissively bowed and said, "Master~! ra is a good pet." "Please use me whenever you want." "My mind, body, and soul are yours." "Treat me like an animal." "Treat me like an Animal for the rest of my life~!!" Ah, so refreshing. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh because that''s two out of five bitches that ruined Theomars life. "Mercy, water." Huo Yuhao ordered his first ve. Mercy nodded and threw cold water out of the bucket, wetting ra''s body. She repeated this six times until the pink-haired pet was clean enough to meet her lord''s standard. Huo Yuhao picked a wooden chair and sat on it, throwing a key to unlock ra''s chastity belt at Mercy. "Open the lock." He said, causing ra to bark excitedly. Mercy opened the chastity belt and smelled intense fumes from ra''s lower holes. It was the sweet aroma of a frustrated bitch. The ice dildo made of cold mineral slid off ra''s pussy and made clunk noises. Her pussy is healthy pink and releases warm dampness. A week''s worth of edging is clearly driving ra von Admante insane. And Mercy''s gaslighting-! She meant training convinced ra to be Huo Yuhao''s pet permanently. "Offer yourself, bitch." Huo Yuhao leaned on the chair. ra struggled to stand up but still did it nheless. She opened her pussy lips and said, "M-Master~! Woof!" "Please fuck this bitch in heat. My cunt is for you to plow." "Use my hole to dumb your precious liquid..." Huo Yuhao heard Evo''s notification about the new ve and smiled amusingly. "You passed, ra. Now cum." He said casually. "AAHHNN~!!" "I''M CUMMIN~!!!" ra''s eyes immediately widened in shock as her entire body shuddered violently. Her hip is rocking back and forth, cumming her brain out for five minutes. Her cum juice stained the floor and made everything wet. She has a fool''s grin, drooling because she finally got her relief. And Huo Yuhao won''t let her recover from this. "Cum, again." "AAHHHHHHN~!" "Cum, you little bitch." "AAAANNNN! SHO GOOOD!!" "Cum." "Cum!" "CUM!!" "CUM YOUR BRAIN OUT!!!" ra dramatically flopped to the ground with white eyes and an ahegao expression. Her cunt is literally drenching with pussy juice. However, her hips can''t stop moving for some reason. "Mercy, lift her ass." Huo Yuhao unbuckled his pants, revealing an erect cock ready to prate ra''s pussy. Mercy happily walked to ra and lifted her from the stomach, presenting the young woman''s juicy ass to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao pped ra''s ass and made them red, teasing the wet cunt with his cock. "Another one has fallen." Hemented while shoving his meat deep inside Theomars'' 3rd sister. An animalistic shriek escaped ra''s mouth. "AAAAAAH~!!" Huo Yuhao hissed because ra''s pussy was tight, wrapping his cock perfectly. It was wet and warm, stimting his man''s meat. He could feel his balls touching her clit. "AHHN~!" "SO BIG!" "SO BIG, MASTER!" "YOU''RE SOOO BIIIG~!!" "MY PUSSY! MY PUSSY IS BREAKING!" Huo Yuhao went ham on ra and pounded her for one hour straight. He drowned ra in pleasure, kneading her breast wildly. No matter what he does to her, ra doesn''t fight back and ept his abuses. She doesn''t care anymore. She''s an animal. What she only thought right now was fucking and more fucking. "ra, tell me. Tell me what you are?" He whispered while grabbing the metal cor. "I''M YOUR PERSONAL USE PET! MY HOLE IS FOR YOU TO STRETCH, MASTER!!" She responded loudly. Huo Yuhao locked the cor on ra''s neck and ejacted inside. He could see her stomach bloating. "Two down, three more to go." Huo Yuhao wiped his face clean. He looked down at the bitch on his floor and pulled Mercy''s hand. "It''s your turn now, Mercy." Mercy stepped on ra and replied, "HAAI~!!" One hourter, Huo Yuhaoy on the bed with two beauties at his side. [You have enved ra von Admante] [Objective: 2/5] Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and yawned, "Soon. Soon, I can talk with them again." Chapter 155: An Abrupt Flood Chapter 155: An Abrupt Flood --- Chapter 154 --- In the Jungle Dungeon, Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead and ced ten 8th ss Devil Warriors into the Nightmare Demon Pot. He waited for a moment and watched the pot releasing white smoke. He failed. Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in disbelief as the session rate for the higher-stage refining was lower than he expected. He has sacrificed millions of shadow warriors to enhance his three Elite Shadows to the 9th ss Realm. [Iris(9th ss Shadow/Low)] [Brunhilde(9th ss Shadow/Low)] [Khiron(9th ss Shadow/Mid)] After enhancing these three, Huo Yuhao fell into a failing streak when refining shadow warriors. It''s a humbling experience, for sure. Feeling the gaze, Huo Yuhao nced down at his shadow andmented, "Do you want to talk? Though, I''m sure you were still shocked." A feminine shadow with bronze-colored me eyes slowly crawled from the darkness. The shadow stood silently for a moment before sitting beside Huo Yuhao. Yes, this shadow is Teressa de Kemos, the Crown Princess of the Karuta Empire. Huo Yuhao extracted Terresa''s shadow a week ago in the Great One''s trial. "Just speak your mind, Rosa(Her new name)." He spoke while refining shadow warriors with Nightmare Demon Pot. "It feels surreal." Rosa opened her lips slowly. "It feels like a nightmare. I have so many regrets in my life, knowing I wouldn''t be able to fulfill them because of the Great One''s Trial." She looked at Huo Yuhao and continued, "Theo-! I mean, my liege..." "I can''t thank you enough." "This second chance, I''ll cherish it..." Huo Yuhao was amused and responded, "Well, you''re wee." "I only took advantage of you. So, don''t glorify it." "..." Rosa. "Very well." Rosa has told Huo Yuhao about the incident she went through 14 months ago when leaving the ck Pearl Castle. She and her followers got ambushed by a mountain-sized rock thrown from far away. It was so sudden, and they couldn''t react in time. Since they don''t have many ces to run, Hormes Mountain is their only viable option. Big fucking mistake because that ce was Monster Race''s nest before the wave even started. She survived the swarm but watched her followers get caught by the monster race and transformed into a gnarly b of meat to breed monsters. Entering the altar, Teressa died shortly after in Goblin King''s hand. She escapes one hole and enters another one. How unfortunate can one be? What makes Huo Yuhao confused is that a mountain-sized attack doesn''t create a shockwave that would attract his attention. Such a massive area-on-effect attack should have reached ck Pearl Castle, no? Something isn''t right. "Maybe exploring outside the castle is necessary, after all." Huo Yuhao pulled out a dark-colored bead of 8th ss Shadow. Rosa stared at the bead and asked, "Can I enter that pot too? If it could make me stronger, I''ll do anything." Huo Yuhao raised his brows and replied, "Technically, you could be strong with Nightmare Demon Pot. However, you need to survive the refining process." He exined the Nightmare Demon Pot''s function to Rosa, and she still wanted to enter, which left him surprised. Huo Yuhao doesn''t have much memory about the Crown Princess, but was she this strong-headed in the past? It''s not a bad thing. Huo Yuhao picked Rosa''s bead and tossed it with nine other 6th ss Shadow Beads. He watched the newly extracted female shadow fight with her devil force, killing herpetitor. "More! I can still handle it." Rosa''s voicees from the pot. Her realm jumped to 7th ss instantly. Huo Yuhao threw seven 7th ss Beads into the Nightmare Demon Pot and observed Rosa''s survival game. She still possessed her devil force and Kemos''s power to control nts. Rosa created a shadowy wood-reinforced shield and put other shadow warriors in killing formation, stabbing them with sharp thorns. It took her one hour to be the winner inside the Nightmare Demon Pot. "I-I can continue..." Her voice is shaky. "Are you sure? The following refining is more dangerous." Huo Yuhao warned Rosa. He kept failing to make another elite shadow for two months. And once shadow died in the Nightmare Demon Pot, they were "permanently." erased from this world. Huo Yuhao couldn''t see it, but Rosa smiled a little. "Do it." "I warned you already." Huo Yuhao shrugged and tossed nine 8th ss Shadow Beads. They are low-leveled like Rosa, having an admirable achievement in thest wave of the monster race. Facing them won''t be easy for Rosa. The refining took six hours, retaining Rosa as the final survivor. Honestly, She surprised Huo Yuhao with her cunningness, baiting the other shadows to fight each other until exhausted. Even though she wasn''t in a healthy condition, as thest shadow injured a chunk of her body, Rosa persisted and became the only shadow left in the Nightmare Demon Pot. "Congrattions, Rosa. You''re my fourth elite shadow." Huo Yuhao praised Rosa, checking her attributes. [Name: Rosa(Terresa de Kemos/Imprinted] [Type: Shadow Devil Warrior(Variant)] [Battle Power: 9th ss(Low)] [Description: Rosa is a shadow extracted from Terresa de Kemos. She possessed high intelligence, excellent martial arts mastery, and power over nts. After being refined through Nightmare Demon Pot, she bes a shadow warrior with god-level growth] Rosa came out of the Nightmare Demon Pot, kneeling before Huo Yuhao calmly. Did she seem to be more adult? The current Rosa is around 180 centimeters tall with clearly more significant assets and a lc-colored shadow dress. Also, her hair is "neatly." styled in a ponytail. She is still a shadow, by the way. Huo Yuhao was speechless, knowing this didn''t happen to the three elite shadow warriors. Their appearance adjusted slightly after refining, but not to the point of growing older. "Uh, you can return to the Shadow Realm now..." He said awkwardly. Rosa stared at him and responded cheerfully, "Yes, my liege~!" ... ... Two days passed, and another wave appeared from the open sea. DING! DING! The bell warned everyone to enter the protected area, allowing Huo Yuhao to focus more on fighting. Huo Yuhao arrived at the ck Pearl Castle''s walls and watched the grasnd with a frown. "What the fuck..." A massive flood is washing over thend and approaching the ck Pearl Castle with several gigantic oceanic monsters. Mercy and ra appeared on Huo Yuhao''s side and looked at this scenery solemnly. It''s the first time something like this has happened. Even in the Karuta Empire''s History. "This is not good. One sh from this flood will shake the whole castle apart." Huo Yuhao thought of a n. With thatrge body of water, they only have around three or four minutes before everything gets submerged in seawater. "Khiron! Rosa!" He summoned two elite shadows, ordering them to create a firm barrier of nts and rock around the castle. He also told Khiron to make several cliffs to flow the water away. Rosa jumped from the castle wall and stomped the ground with all her might. She scanned the source of vegetation underground, triggering their growth as quickly as possible. A formation of lush trees with thick roots emerged from the ground and surrounded the 10 kilometers area near ck Pearl Castle. It showed what the 9th ss Shadow Warrior could do in a tight situation. Khiron followed Rosa''s lead,pleting a solid rock barrier near the forest. "Core Formation..." The shadow centaur dragged his hand down and created a drain system 20 kilometers away. The iing seawater will smash their barriers, drain, and flow back to the sea. "ra... Your new devil force is rted to electricity, right?" Huo Yuhao asked the pink-haired woman. "Yup~!" ra rubbed her face on his sleeve. Huo Yuhao wished today was rainy, but it was only cloudy. "Start gathering thunderclouds if you can." ra nodded and used her new devil force, "Celestial Wing of Thunder Roc." to the atmosphere. She gathered the thunderclouds and charged them with her inner energy. "Iris, prepare your squad. Follow my lead." Huo Yuhao summoned the shadow cat warrior and changed All-Transformation Ink into a bow. He utilized Universal Breathing Technique to enhance his physical prowess, pulling the bowstrings with all his might. A 3-meternce made of shadow rested on the string, coated with three different energies. It might be overkill, but Huo Yuhao''s instinct is never wrong. After applying Haki, Darkness, and Death Energies into thence. Huo Yuhao waited for the monster wave to be closer to the wall. "Archer... FIRE!" SWOOSH! Huo Yuhao fired thence and saw the ck light travel above the thunderclouds. He clenched his hand, exploding the projective heunched into one million needles. "Death Rain..." He mumbled to himself. This technique needed a lot of concentration, but he could pull it off under pressure. "ra, now!" ra immediately pped her hands and made lightning ps echo in the area. Thunder crashes ensued shortly after, striking the monster race to a crisp. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Huo Yuhao and Archer Squad''s attacks finished the rest of the wave. And only some 8th ss Monsters survived theirbination siege formation. Anything lower than that died. BOOOOOOOM! The tsunami crashed onto Khiron''s rock barrier, making some cracks here and there. Yet, it is far from enough to destroy it. And with Rosa''s wood formation, everything is under control. The drainage system sucked the seawater gradually, reducing the height to 30 meters deep. "That was close..." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief. Believe it or not, ck Pearl Castle won''t be able to survive the flood without these barriers. This ce isn''t sturdy enough for that. nk! Huo Yuhao turned his bow into a halberd and fended against a bone-like projectile. He moved his gaze to the tsunami and noticed a monster with a shark head. "9th ss Monster(Low)." He gauged the strength precisely with Observation Haki. The monster grinned, revealing a toothy grin, and called his friends. Twelve simr monsters resurfaced from the flood. "There are 13 of them now." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile. "Mercy, kill as much as you can." "ra, fry them with your lighting strike." " Khiron, Rosa, focus on the barrier. Don''t let a single monster break into the castle''s perimeter." "Iris, support everyone from the backline with your arrows." "Brunhilde, follow me to face them." He kicked the ground and soared to the sky, having a valkyrie on his side. Huo Yuhao covered his halberd in ripple energy and swung down with the idea of splitting the monster wave. "Tremor''s Cleave." His attack covered the sky and descended like illusionary dawn. The area it covered is simply ridiculous. KABOOOOM! The seawater sshed everywhere, messing with the monster wave formation. Huo Yuhao''s attack created a long crater on the ground, splitting the tsunami into two. Brunhilde created several throwing weapons and rained everything below her with them. Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and hid in the mist, approaching the shark-headed monster swiftly. sh! "One." Huo Yuhao''s halberd shed through the monster''s head. "So what if you are 9th ss, your spatial awareness is worse than a spirit emperor." Monster Race survived based on instinct, so when Huo Yuhao masked his presence with Extreme Lightning Mirage and Haki, they couldn''t find him. After creating chaos in the enemy line, Huo Yuhao began his massacre spree. He stepped on the water gently and moved through the wave of monsters without showing his presence. One swipe of his halberd and a portion ofnd got erased alongside the tsunami. Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to prolong the fight because he has a horrible promotion about this absurd wave. He killed another shark-headed monster and corrupted the water with Death Energy, decaying the monster''s life force. Slowly but surely, the enemy number decreased to a manageable number. "Master, another flood ising!" Brunhilde shouted from the sky. "An octopus-like monster is leading it this time!" BOOM! Huo Yuhao frowned and noticed he was "suddenly." surrounded by several 9th-ss Monsters. "I see... They are trying to bait me into the water." He nced around. "What a scheme." Huo Yuhao released his Conqueror''s Haki to the upper limit and caused a swirling storm of mental energy in the area. He lifted the halberd and bent his body, swinging the weapon in a full circle. "DIE!" As the word fell into everyone''s ear, a turbulent shockwave greeted the monster race and sted them into nothingness. Huo Yuhao cleaned the area from the mist and saw the iing wave with a monstrous octopus. "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves..." "2nd Chapter: One Ripple to the End." Huo Yuhao clenched his grip on the halberd and used 50% of his inner energy on this attack. He shed the air and created a ripple, causing a chain reaction of shockwaves. Kacha! The space around him seemed to crack like ss, sucking the air and generating emptiness. It grew bigger and bigger each second, bing this massive wave of energy. SWOOSH! Huo Yuhao''s attack moved forward and shed with the iing flood, allowing everyone to see two opposite forces in action. The deep blue ocean and empty ck void. "Prepare yourself for the impact!" Brunhilde shouted at everyone in the castle. She covered herself in shadow and left a small hole to view her master''s prowess. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! A pir soared to the sky and released ebony light, changing the atmosphere into a dusky night. Huo Yuhao coughed blood and looked at the monster wave with a firm gaze. He pushed himself a little bit too far physically, but the answer speaks for itself. [You have killed 50.431.692 Monsters] Evo notified him. [Objective: 1.000.909.310/100.000.000.001] "Phew..." Huo Yuhao breathed out, regting his energy to a calmer state. "I finally reached 1% of the objective." "Just 99% more-!" Huo Yuhao gasped and fell to the ground, feeling incredible heat all over his body. He turned around and saw Titania in her phantom form. "What are you doing... Titania..." Titania smiled and responded, "Nothing. You see, Ancient Ink Devil''s bloodline is different from others. It bes purer alongside its host." "You, my little rude inheritor, are finally reaching the requirement to wield my power." "Master it quickly, or your body will go "Kaboom." like in the past." She slowly disappeared into nothingness. [Ancient Ink Devil Bloodline has reached B+ Grade] [You have awakened "Tracing." from Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline] [Name: Tracing [Type: Passive] [Grade: F] [Description: Tracing is the power to mimic everything with All-Transforming Ink. A lost art used by the Ancient Ink Devil in the past] Huo Yuhao endured the pain of awakening Titania''s ability for a few minutes and groaned back to his feet. He stood up and told everyone he was okay. "Clean the battlefield!" Huo Yuhao shouted, returning to the ck Pearl Castle. "Yes, My Liege!" The shadow army responded immediately. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, hisst attack against the monster wave caught several empires'' attention, including Karuta Empire. At Admante Family. The current family head stood inside her office, prying outside her window. She''s tall, pale-skinned, with eyes of pure ck irises and a red "x" in the center of each of them. Her asymmetric medium-length snow-white hair has the asional ck streak and is "neatly." swept to the right side of her head. She wears small ck and white snowke-pattern earrings. She wore a double-breasted white overcoat with graypels and a cor of ck fur. Looking at the ck pir in the east, Alexandra von Admante pursed her lips in confusion. "That ce..." She opened her mouth gently. "Theo..." Chapter 156: Forgetting Important Past Chapter 156: Forgetting Important Past --- Chapter 155 --- Watching the seawater level drop down to the ankle, Huo Yuhao smiled in satisfaction because Khiron did a fantastic job on the drainage system. It''s been two days since the sudden flood attack from the monster race, and thend around ck Pearl Castle is covered in a heavy amount of salt, making vegetation die quickly. Besides the row of trees around the castle that Rosa had grown, no nts are detected for several thousands of miles down to the open sea. Huo Yuhao felt an unpleasant premonition about this situation but knew that essential resources such as food and medicine weren''t a problem. After all, Huo Yuhao solved the problem with Jungle Dungeon 14 months back. It was the best decision he made to keep the ck Pearl Castle kicking on and alive. Talking about the problem, they received a call from the Admante Family. The current family head, Alexandra von Admante, suspiciously questioned Mercedes and ra''s absence repeatedly, telling them to return home within a week. Even though Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to let his pawns away, Alexandra is a peak 9th ss Devil Warrior with insane Devil Force and was "faintly." rumored to have raw potential to reach the legendary 10th ss Realm. Huo Yuhao hated this feeling, but Alexandra felt more threatening than Ogre King he had fought in the "Great One''s trial.". It may be Theomars''s instinct to survive that tries to warn him. He has to be stronger and enve the other sisters, making it easier for him to defeat Alexandra. That''s the only way. Theomars 4th and 5th sisters are twins. They are 20 years old and have low 9th ss Devil Warrior Realms, including powerful Devil Forces to manipte heaven and earth. Technically speaking, Weather and Mountain. If it wasn''t for seniority, they could have entered the Karuta Empire''s warrior association and be a famous duo. "Mercy, ra. Come here." Huo Yuhaomented while chewing on dinosaur jerky. "Master~!!" Huo Yuhao nced at them and continued, "I have important jobs for you two. It''s simple and easy enough for you two to aplish." "I want you to make Harmonia and Triana interested in visiting me at ck Pearl Castle. Use any possible method without attracting Alexandra von Admante''s attention. That bitch''s sense is sharp." "Any possible method..." Mercy mumbled, her red eyes glimmering with amusement. "Anything?" ra tilted her head. Huo Yuhao grinned indifferently and answered, "Yes, Anything." ... ... Five days passed, and Huo Yuhao finally broke into the low 9th ss Devil Warrior realm with the help of Mercedes and ra. Dual Cultivating with the lower strength benefited him a lot. He never experienced this in the homeworld because his cultivation is too high, and his Spirit Energy is way purer than anyone. Theomars von Admante is different, he''s talented, but everything was "unfortunately." taken away from him. Simply put, Theomars doesn''t have enough luck like him. Also, System. Well, Evo hasn''t helped Huo Yuhao much in this Emergency Quest. The system is more like a monitor for him now. Inside a well-lighted room, Huo Yuhao opened the Fairy King''s Canvas and rolled down the scroll, revealing a clean sheet. It''s not paper or leather, but something different. Huo Yuhao activated All-Transforming Ink and watched the liquid dripping from his index finger. "Tracing..." He closed his eyes and rubbed the ink across the canvas, imagining the most basic 1-dimensional thing. A line. "Okay." He opened his eyes and saw a literal line forming into a solid object, rolling off the canvas. Feeling the confidence building up, Huo Yuhao continued to 2-dimensional objects and 3-dimensional objects. A square and a cube manifested. ["Tracing." has leveled up] [Tracing(E)] "It''s working. That means I could apply White Room''s artistic knowledge to Tracing." Huo Yuhao sat in the lotus position, recalling his memory as Putra Indra Santoso. His 29 years'' worth of life shed slowly, making him experience the nostalgia, agony, and happiness he had buried for a while. Drip! "Huh?" Huo Yuhao unknowingly cried, touching ink from the corner of his eyes. He tried to wipe it off, but the ink kept pouring out with strange emotion. He tries to recall something. Something. Something important to Putra. "Mom?" He couldn''t remember her face. Her voice. Mother''s presence with Putra in the past. All of them seemed to disappear one after another. "Wait... What''s mom''s name again?" Huo Yuhao isn''t talking about Huo Yun''er. He spoke about Putra''s adopted mother from his previous life, the warm-loving woman who saved him from the street and imparted an essential piece to his horrible life. "Ibu(Mom)..." "Mukamu(Your face)..." "Nama mu(Your name)..." "Suaramu(Your voice)..." "Aku th lupa semuanya(I forgot all of them)..." Huo Yuhao smacked his face on the hard floor and rolled around while screaming. "This can''t be?!" "Why can I remember them??" "AAAAHHHHH!!" "Your Highness!" Damian entered the room and looked at the fainted Huo Yuhao on the floor. His face paled beyond belief as he hurriedly checked the young man''s condition. "Your Highness? N-No way, he fell into aa again." Damian nervously called for the doctor and watched the check-up, listening to the diagnosis with a solemn look. "There is nothing wrong with Your Highness." The doctor said while checking Huo Yuhao''s pulse. "This is Zero Order. He has used all his inner energy." "But something is bothering me, butler." "What''s it, doctor?" Damian returned attentively. The doctor stared at Huo Yuhao and continued, "Your Highness''s condition was "actually." once described in the legend. The chosen one with noble blood will cry out Ancient Power and unify Titania Bolos to greatness again." "This prophecy has been told to every Devil Family, including other empires." "However, even after more than 30.000 years, the chosen one hadn''t appeared until now. One year ago, Your highness awakened royal blood, but something bizarre happened, no? He didn''t manifest Ancient Power." "He could be ate bloomer, overpowered by his Devil Force to control shadow." "One thing for sure, after he wakes up from this deep slumber, a sign will appear..." "A sign..." Damian clenched his hand in worry. "I hope it''s not a bad sign." "Your Highness has suffered too much in his life. I wish he could live and form a healthy rtionship with a good girl, bing a husband and father." Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao drowned in darkness and felt someone hugging him tightly. It was Titania, caressing his ck hair gently. "You''re such a silly person, Theo." Titania smiled weakly. "Why did you push yourself to this point?" "My threat is simply a drive to make you stronger. Yet, you used All-Transforming Ink to the extreme and tried to create something out of its realm." "I don''t know what you were imagining..." "But All-Transforming Ink isn''t invincible. So, You cannot create something that doesn''t possess substance in your mind." Titania couldn''t understand what Huo Yuhao was saying when crying in agony. It''s anguage she had never heard of, even after living for so long. Nevertheless, she could feel Huo Yuhao''s despair and misery. As if someone ughtered his whole family before his very own eyes. "Well, it''s not like you can listen to my voice in this condition." She pulled Huo Yuhao''s cheek, stretching it a little. "If only you were born 100.000 years sooner... I wouldn''t be this lonely." "To think Valstrax would obtain such an annoying heir. I bet that even the Nox Emperor couldn''t see this future with her eyes." Titania silently nced at Huo Yuhao''s forehead and pondered something deeply. "Good night, Theo." She kissed him, blushing because that was an embarrassing thing to do. "Aih, so embarrassing..." ... ... Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and found himself lying on a cloud. He moved around and saw a massive smoke forming above his head, gathering into this familiar silhouette of a woman. The silhouette bes more solid and stops abruptly. "W-Wait! Show me more!" Huo Yuhao jumped from the cloud, stretching his hand to grab the smoke. Bam! Huo Yuhao was "immediately." greeted with a marble floor and the familiar scenery of his bedroom. "..." Huo Yuhao looked at his hand and caught the Fairy King''s Canvas. [You have reprehended numerous skills] [Art Mastery(A)] [Perfect Body(S)] [White Room''s Martial Arts(A+)] [Perfect Control(S) [Weapon Mastery(A+)] [Cold-Blooded(SS)] Huo Yuhao felt numb in his head, making everything around him seem moreckluster than before. He checked the reprehended skills and saw nothing wrong with them. "Mot-!" He mumbled and hissed in pain. An annoying headache appeared out of nowhere, attacking him like an annoying crowd of bees. Huo Yuhao attempted three more times to call Putra''s mother, and the headaches were "instantly." triggered every time. "Fuck..." He cursed while lying down and stared at the ceiling. "Fuck." "Fuck." "Fuck." "Fucking Hell..." "Your Highness?" Damian entered the room with a bowl of warm water. "You finally awake!" "Thanks, God(Tania)!" Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat and sat on the floor, leaning against his bed. "What happened when I fainted, Damian?" Damian cleared his throat and replied, "First of all, congrattions on your recovery, Your Highness. It''s been two weeks since you fell asleep." "Two weeks." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but frown. "Have the monster race used this chance to attack us?" The butler shook his head and added, "No, we haven''t detected any monsters in thest 15 days. They have been silent and tame for some reason." "How weird." Huo Yuhaomented lightly. "Indeed." Damian nodded in agreement. After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao told Damian to prepare a warm bath and meal for him. Even though 9th ss Devil Warrior doesn''t need food to survive, he needs to taste something right now. Dipping himself in the bathtub, Huo Yuhao opened the status window and was surprised for a moment. "This is..." [Name: Theomars von Admante(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 19] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(High/68.9%)] [Cultivation: 9th ss Devil Warrior(Low/Recultivated)] [Battle Power: Ninth ss(Mid)] [Passive Skill: Healing Factor(S), Poison Immunity(S), Devil Force(S), Tracing(D), Art Mastery(A), Perfect Body(S), Perfect Control(S), Weapon Mastery(A+), Cold-Blooded(SS)] [Active Skill: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, All-Transforming Ink(D+), Eternal Shadow(2.000+), Devil Trigger(SS)] [Technique: Extreme Lightning Mirage, Haki(+), White Room''s Martial Arts] [ve: Mercy(Permanent), ra(Permanent)] [Description: Transmigrated Person, ck Pearl Castle''s Lord, Titania''s Heir, Valstrax''s Greatest Child] "Devil Trigger?" Huo Yuhao touched the system panel. [Name: Devil Trigger] [Type: Active/Buff] [Grade: SS] [Description: Ignite the Ancient Devil''s Blood within your body and trigger True Devilification, increasing all your attributes tremendously for one hour] [Cooldown: 24 Hours] Huo Yuhao gently rubbed his chin, curiously wanting to try Devil Trigger here. However, it might cause destruction, and the cooldown is a whole day. "I''ll test itter." He enjoyed the warm water. "As for the other skills... Pretty self-exnatory." "White Room''s Martial Arts, huh? That''s something I haven''t heard in a while." While Huo Yuhao was recovering from a deep sleep, Mercy and ra faced their older sister with heavy tension in the room. They should have returned to the Admante Family two weeks ago, but the capital ordered them to do an emergency task. It was to help the Merchant Group from the monster wave in the south. "Take you a while to follow my order..." Alexandramented indifferently. Mercy put on a calm facade and replied, "Well, what can we do? Capital''s emergency task is rarely to happen, sister." "Not to mention the monster has three 9th ss on their side." ra followed Mercy''s lead and added, "We have to fight them for twelve days and recover our inner energy first, 1st sister." "Is that so?" Alexandra grabbed a cigar, burning it with a match. "Do you have fun?" "Pardon?" ra returned with a confused expression. Alexandra released a big puff of smoke and asked, "Do you have fun with Theo? You''re not dumb, ra. Stop making me repeat myself." SWOOSH! An unimaginable pressure released from Alexandra, making both Mercy and ra kneel on the floor. They breathed heavily and looked at the woman before them like she was a monster. "I warned you guys already." She put her legs on the desk. "Don''t touch Theo ever again. We agreed to leave him dying in that castle one year ago." "Right?" Her voice is piercing their eardrums. "W-We understand, 1st sister." Mercy and ra responded. This level of presence is simr to or even higher than their master. Alexandra swiped her hand andunched both pink-haired sisters outside, closing the door with pure psychokinesis. She killed the cigar by rubbing it on an ashtray, ncing at the picture frame on her desk. A boy with ck hair and brown eyes is smiling happily, hugging Alexandra with such warmth. "Theo... Why did you stay alive? Why can''t you die?" "Sister is living full of sin already. Please, Don''t make me lose control and go there personally to vite you again. Ahh." Alexandra''s breathing bes slightly heavier. Chapter 157: Provoking the Eldest Sister Chapter 157: Provoking the Eldest Sister --- Chapter 156 --- nk! BOOM! Huo Yuhao charged to the enemy line with less energy than usual. His movement also looks more casual, flowing through the monster army gently. "Die, Ruler of the Shadows!" A crocodile-headed monster swung its weapon at Huo Yuhao. A machete flew at the speed of sounds, showing just how powerful a high 8th ss Monster is. Huo Yuhao observed the iing gently and dodged with a thin hair difference, preparing himself to kick the monster''s head. His leg traversed through a blindspot and struck the sweet spot on the crocodile''s left ear. "Head''s Strike." Hemented while walking away, leaving a monster with a destroyed brain. Thud! As the crocodile-headed monster drops to the ground, the other monster looks at Huo Yuhao with fear. Such an ordinary kick dealt so much damage. It''s White Room''s Martial Arts. A perfectbination of all martial arts from Huo Yuhao''s first life. It focused on one aspect, killing and shutting the enemy down with a precise hit. Withplicated requirements such as Perfect Body and Perfect Control, only a handful of people could use this martial art in the past. Yet, this is the cultivation world where people could punch mountains in nothing, so martial arts mean no shit in front of energy st bullshit. That was what Huo Yuhao thought until he tried to remaster this martial art again. He discovered his haki and energies blend well with each movement, even enhancing them to an unknown realm. The monster race was speechless because Huo Yuhao used them as training dummies. He ughtered their fellow brethren one after another mercilessly, turning them into lifeless vessels for his shadows. Huo Yuhao breathed out, closing the first kata/form. He looked down and saw a pile of monster corpses under his feet, each with 8th ss strength. "Thank you for the lesson." He emotionlesslymented. "My liege, we have finished our task." The elite shadow appeared and reported everything that happened on their sides. Although Iris, Brunhilde, and Khiron did a satisfactory job as usual, Rosa showed an astonishing result of killing the 700.000 monsters herself. Since thest monster attack, Rosa was "quickly." ordered to a defensive role. Every shadow was surprised by her ability now. Her Devil Force to grow thorny nts from shadow is so powerful that it always catches the enemy off guard. Rosa''s support helped the shadow army because the thorny nts have a potent paralyzing effect on the enemy. The thorn also bled and poisoned the monsters, weakening them excessively. Her ability makes it easier for the shadow army to kill more monsters. Huo Yuhao nced at them and responded, "Not bad. But you guys can be better." "Rosa, teach them battlefield tactics and maniption you learned in the past. I want all the elite shadows to be able to adapt to every battlefield, no matter what''s the disadvantage. Even dirty moves are allowed..." "Do you understand?" "Yes, my liege," Rosa responded calmly, feeling Huo Yuhao was colder than usual. Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and disappeared from the battlefield, leaving the elite shadows. "Um, do you guys feel it?" Rosa asked her fellow subordinate. Khiron nodded and responded, "As a matter of fact, I do. My liege grew stronger and went through deep hibernation for two weeks recently, triggering a weird change." "It makes him more focused on the battlefield but colder in a way." "Colder, like temperature?" Brunhilde tilted her head in confusion, making them stare at this clueless winged shadow warrior. Seeing her colleague''s reaction, Brunhilde became more confused and added, "What? Did I say something wrong?" "I don''t dislike Brunhilde. Stay cute, okay." Iris reached over Brunhilde''s head and rubbed it with her hand. ''Huh??'' Brunhilde watched Khiron and Rosa nod at Iris''s statements. After all, the valkyrie is more brute than a brain. Agreeing on something, Rosa moved her thorns on the battlefield even further and cleaned the rest of the monster army. She wanted to finish this as quickly as possible, craving to finish her task to teach Iris, Khiron, and Brunhilde about Battlefield Tactics. "I hope Master Theo is okay..." Rosa stared into the distance. [The amount of shadow you could extract have increased] [You now could store 5000 Shadows in total] Huo Yuhao listened to Evo''s notification and kept moving to the ck Pearl Castle. He already guessed this to happen, as breakthroughs always enhance his skills. SWOOSH! "Your Highness!" Damian greeted him immediately. Huo Yuhaonded on the castle wall and returned, "What''s the matter, Damian?" Damian put on aplicated face and brought themunication device out. He told Huo Yuhao that someone from the capital was sending him a message this morning. It was from Alexandra von Admante. An order to call her back upon arriving at ck Pearl Castle. "Hmm..." Huo Yuhao grabbed the device and waited for a moment, hearing a familiar and fear-inducing voice from the other side. "Theo..." He frowned and watched his hand tremble slightly. Theomars must have been very scared of this woman. "What do you want?" He replied casually. Alexandra was stunned for a second because Theomars had never used such a tone with her. She gained herposure and said, "I just want to say something." "Mercedes and ra... Have they done bad things to you there?" "Ha..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t believe this bitch. The audacity of asking a question like this. Heughed in disbelief and mocked, "And? Does it matter to you, dear 1st sister? I believe you''re no different than those two." "So what if you''re the family head? In the end, you''re a disgusting vitor who disguised yourself in virtue light." "And don''t get me started on how disgusting your past was ..." "..." Alexandra was too stunned to speak. This tone. This voice. This anger. And this disgust. It makes Alexandra shudder for some reason. There is no way Theomars could possess a threat against her because he was only a weak devil with a destroyed Devil Source. He wouldn''t be able to cultivate anymore. However, what''s this sensation of dread in her chest? As if a monstrous beast faced Alexandra on the other side of thismunication device. Alexandra focused for a moment and envisioned a handsome young man with ck hair and scarlet eyes. He brimmed with almost endless inner energy and possessed the Aura of the Conqueror, staring at her emotionlessly like she was nothing but dust. "Why so quiet? Don''t tell me you are Surprised. Hahaha, when I stepped back into the Admante Family. I promised to destroy everything there and put you on a leash." Theomars'' voice echoed in the room. "You mad Bitch." Thatst line struck Alexandra right in the core and made her snap. She exuded a murderous aura and giggled, mming her hand on the table continuously. BOOM! The whole office is blown away by her cultivation realm alone. The sky changed color and filled with aurora. "Me, a bitch?" An extremely terrifying yet beautiful smile stered Alexandra''s face. "Aww. That was adorable~!" "Theo, sister has been suppressing herself, you know." "I don''t want to hurt you anymore after that incident, but..." "You provoked me." Alexandra made the wholend in the Admante Family''s residence tremble in chaos. "Older sister is mad now." "I have no choice but to kill you..." She licked her lips sensually. "1st Sister, please lower your pressure!" Mercy suddenly appeared and hugged Alexandra from behind. At this point, everyone in Admante''s residence will die out of shock. ra followed and grabbed Alexandra''s hand. "Yes, 1st Sister. Please appease your anger and think about the surroundings." Alexandra huffed and returned to her aloof persona, disabling all the pressure. "I want to visit, Theo." She said firmly. Mercy lifted her brows andmented, "Why so suddenly... Theo is living fine in that castle, 1st Sister. Aren''t you the one who prohibited us from touching him??" "You''re also busy, remember? The Hunting Festival of the Karuta Empire wille soon. We should raise Admante''s prestige more than Theo''s at this moment." "You''re right." Alexandra bes calmer when hearing Mercy''sment. Taking her chances, ra opened her mouth and said, "Why don''t we dispatch Harmonia and Triana to pick Theo up, 1st Sister? As far as I know, they haven''t done anything for one year." "They are more than enough to take him here, no? What can Theo do against two 9th-ss Devil Warriors? And He literally cried when facing us." She continued while feeling unbearably wrong. She wanted to throw away her clothes and begged Huo Yuhao for forgiveness after bad-mouthing him. However, this is necessary to fulfill her task. Alexandra processed ra''s words and answered, "That''s not a bad idea, ra. Call Harmonia and Triana here." The three sisters waited for five minutes and sensed the bustling wind in the area. A twin girl with tan skin and pink-blonde hair appeared before them. They possessed amused expressions with matching bluish-red eyes. Harmonia von Admante is an active-looking girl, wearing a ck skirt and white dress. She wore a blue coat over her dress, showing her badge as one of the renowned Devil Warriors in the capital. Meanwhile, Triana von Admante is a passive-looking girl, wearing a white skirt and ck dress in the same style. She wore a green coat over her dress, having the same badge as Harmonia. "Sisters, are you calling Monia~?" Harmonia smiled sweetly at them. Triana nodded and questioned, "Mm, do you call us here?" "Yes." Alexandra brushed the formal greeting, telling the twins about Theomars'' provocation. "Eh? Monia is shocked. How could Theo be so fierce?" Harmonia put on a curious look. Triana grabbed Harmonia and tly continued, "Theo, so fierce..." "That doesn''t matter." Alexandra firmly retorted. "I call you here for one job. Bring Theo back to the Admante Family." "I give you two a week..." "Failure is not permitted." "Roger~!" Harmonia smiled cheerfully. "Umu, Roger..." Triana charged her Devil Force, creating an invisible air force around her. "Then, we''ll depart immediately." Alexandra blinked once and noticed the twins had disappeared from her vision. "Don''t disappoint me..." She whispered while returning to the Admante''s mansion. ''That was intense. I almost wet myself.'' Mercy sighed in relief. ra bit into her fingernail and mumbled, ''Sorry, master. This pet ismitting such a sin toward you.'' ... ... "Hey, Riana," Harmonia called her twin''s name affectionately. "Yes?" Triana responded silently. Harmonia kissed Triana''s cheek and asked, "Do you think we could have fun before bringing Theo back?" "You know, the kinky stuff. I haven''t done it for more than a year now." "Kinky stuff..." Triana blushed a little. "S-Sure." Hugging her twin, Harmonia giggled and dered, "Then it''s decided. We will squeeze Theo''s little brother dry before bringing him back." Chapter 158: Ink Creature Chapter 158: Ink Creature --- Chapter 157 --- "Tracing..." "On." Huo Yuhao sat on the ground, skillfully rubbing his finger against the Fairy King''s Canvas. He drew a small nine-tailed fox and added so many details that it looks too realistic, but this is necessary. The All-Transforming Ink moved ording to Huo Yuhao''s will, squirming and solidifying itself into a pink nine-tailed fox. It stayed and jumped around for a minute before popping out of existence. Poof! [Tracing has leveled up] [Tracing(C)] "Good. I can increase the size of the "Tracing." skill now." Huo Yuhaomented while drawing with his finger, creating a group of foxes. He watched the foxes and was amused by them, recalling Huo Yun''er Divine Fox Form. He picked up the pace and drew countless creatures until his inner energy depleted to 5%. Taking a short break, Huo Yuhao consumed an "Energy Booster." potion from his inventory. Even though Huo Yuhao doesn''t have his Alchemy Skills, he still has his mastery and memory to create things. And with the medicinal ingredients of this world, it''s not hard for Huo Yuhao to create a supplement that aids his growth. Recovering his inner energy quickly, Huo Yuhao returned to the grind and kept using Tracing to a certain level. Rinse and repeat. [Name: Tracing [Type: Passive] [Grade: C] [Description: Tracing is the power to mimic everything with All-Transforming Ink. Anything created through Tracing needed a "Deep Impression." within the wielder''s mind. The wielder was allowed to add more details and manifested even more powerful things] Tracing is a powerful ability. Huo Yuhao won''t deny it. Regardless, Tracing needed a specific level of quality to be triggered. It also required the wielder to possess a deep impression of the subject, like experience getting drawn out. Huo Yuhao was restricted to a small object with his Tracing proficiency, trying to draw everyone in the homeworld once, and each attempt was a failure. In conclusion, he only has to raise his Tracing to B or A Grade. [Tracing''s proficiency has increased] [Tracing''s proficiency...] [Tracing''s proficiency...] [Tracing''s proficiency...] [Tracing''s proficiency...] [...] [...] Huo Yuhao entered a state of emptiness, staring at the wall mindlessly and moving his hand instinctively. Each stroke caused an inner energy storm in the room and stirred small dust to all corners. His perception of time bes very vague, experiences a drown-like condition. He focused all his attention on the art before him. Twelve hourster, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and skimmed at the abstract drawing on the Fairy King''s Canvas with a speechless look. "Uh..." "What is this??" [Ding! Tracing has leveled up] [Tracing(B-)] [You have unlocked a way to add intent into your Tracing] [You have created the first Ink Creature] [Do you want to store it in Fairy King''s Canvas?] "Ink Creature..." Huo Yuhao has a weird look on his face. A young deer with curved ck horns on each side of its adorable head and fluffy yet cloudy blue fur appeared before Huo Yuhao. It released a meek-sounding squeak, which caused Huo Yuhao to be astonished for a moment. "Ah..." "You''re a Mythical Qilin." "Wee~!" The Qilin rubbed its head against Huo Yuhao''s thigh. [Name: None] [Type: Ink Creature/Mimicked Mythical Qilin] [Cultivation: 7th ss Beast(high)] [Description: The Ink Creature, Mythical Qilin is inferior mimicry of youthful Huang Yuna. It possessed the power to manipte all five fundamental elements and small luck around its creator] "Can you transform into human form?" Huo Yuhao asked, to which the cloudy-furred beast responded with a shake of its head. Patting the beast, Huo Yuhao pondered about something and stared at the Fairy King''s Canvas. [Name: Fairy King''s Canvas] [Type: Ancient Artifact] [Grade: SS+] [Description: Fairy King''s Canvas is an ancient artifact created by the first Ancient Ink Demon: Titania von Valstrax. It increases the effect of All-Transforming Ink by 500% and lowers stamina consumption by 75%] [1st Effect: Ancient Ink Blood''s Strengthening] [2nd Effect: Sub-Dimension Space] [3rd Effect: Locked] [4th Effect: Locked] [5th Effect: Locked] [6th Effect: Locked] "..." Huo Yuhao. "What do I even expect from that woman?" "Store, Mythical Qilin." He noticed a blurry white light escape the Fairy King''s Canvas and suck the fluffy beast inside. "Well, here we go." Stretching his finger a little, Huo Yuhao continued to train Tracing till the next day. ... ... Several days passed after Huo Yuhao identally created the young Mythical Qilin with Tracing. It seems that his reminiscence toward Huang Yuna resurfaced more than others. With rapid session, he leveled up "Tracing." to a B+ grade and created two more Ink Creatures. A pink-furred fox and purple-haired vampire, having appearances from Huo Yun''er and Scathach, respectively. And Huo Yuhao met the requirement to meet Titania again. In the dream-like realm, Huo Yuhao faced Titania. She had this yful grin, staring at him like he was a piece of meat. "Oh my, you''re such a fast learner, Theo~!" Titaniamented while trying to butter him up. Huo Yuhao pushed her away and responded, "Don''t you owe me an exnation, Titania? Tracing ability couldn''t possibly cause me to explode, no?" Titania giggled and returned, "Fufu, that''s correct. Young Ink Devil. Tracing is an ability based on imagination and memory to manifest through All-Transforming Ink. The lies I told you were to ignite motivation as you only use All-Transforming Ink to create a weapon." "Truly a shame. You make my noble blood''s ability to perform such a lousy result." "For example..." Titania snapped her finger. "Ink World." Huo Yuhao blinked and saw the scenery around him change instantly into a pitch-ck realm. He could still see for some reason, despite the murky darkness. "Heaven Devouring Ink Serpent." Titania''s voice echoed in the realm. BOOM! Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened as a massive serpent with shiny tinum scales appeared out of nowhere, attacking him aggressively. "Arise-!" "That won''t work here." Titaniazily said. "If you want to escape, you shall only use All-Transforming Ink and Tracing ability until I''m satisfied." "Be happy, Theomars. You received a one-in-a-million chance to receive my knowledge." BOOM! Huo Yuhao created a shield with All-Transforming Ink, parrying the serpent away. However, the force behind this beast is ridiculous. BAM! His right arm was "immediately." dislocated upon contact. "Fuck..." Even with Perfect Control and cement, he still couldn''t reduce the impact of Titania''s Ink Creature. Huo Yuhao pulled out Fairy King''s Canvas and made Titania amused inside, summoning three Ink Creatures he had made so far. The Mythical Qilin received Huo Yuhao''s order and formed a thick mist with its elemental maniption. The pink-furred fox releases a mellow mental energy and tries to confuse Titania from locating their locations. Andstly, the purple-haired vampire jumped at Titania herself to check something. "Hoho, attacking the caster? Nice decision." Titaniaughed, grabbing a handful of ink to create destructive rain. "Still, far from enough to reach me." Huo Yuhao activated the All-Transforming Ink and began drawing something on the canvas. Titania sometimes attacked him, causing the process to be slower than usual. The serpent also made Huo Yuhao and his ink creatures change location a few times. He doesn''t know how long he stayed in Titania''s Ink World. Maybe a day? A week? A year?" Well, one thing is clear. He was almost drawn an Ink Creature out of this world. Titania frowned because intense intent wasing from the mist, making her curious about Huo Yuhao''s tactic. "Let''s end this... He''s not ready to wield the next ability-!" She was about to summon her second servant, but the purple-haired vampire suddenly appeared with a red spear and ambushed her. "Gae Bolg!" The young vampire threw the red spear with a dangerous amount of killing intent. Titania squinted her gold eyes and mumbled, "8th Guardian: Sea-Tearing Orca." SWOOSH! A whirlpool appeared and bounced the red spear back to the purple-haired vampire. BOOM! The vampire exploded into a mist of blood, covering Titania''s field of vision. Titania groaned in disgust, telling her guardian to clean the blood away. "Finish him." She ordered the Heaven Devouring Ink Serpent to stop ying with Huo Yuhao. BAM! Huo Yuhao stepped back and witnessed the serpent leaping out from the ground. The fangs were about to reach Huo Yuhao''s body, but the Fairy King''s Canvas suddenly released a bright white light. "Come... My old friend." A rare smile cracked on Huo Yuhao''s emotionless face. It was a smile filled with nostalgia. "This is..." Titania somehow could feel the heat in her Ink World. It should be impossible because Ink World is an absolute neutral field, where all Devil Force got nullified to nothing. Even Huo Yuhao''s Ink Creature, who performs elemental mastery, is debuffed by 75% of its full capability. Gruggle! The ink around Titania is starting to boil at an rming rate. The Temperature is soaring too fast for her to react. BOOOM! The Fairy King''s Canvas released an intense white light and spewed out a massive creature, rivaling the World Devouring Ink Serpent. It was a young western dragon with purplish ck scales, possessing fierce purple me around its muscr body. "Burn this ce down, Naga." Huo Yuhao''splexion is pale because drawing young Naga to this world consumed around 90% of his inner energy and stamina. And this version of Naga basically possessed 5% of the real one could do. ROAR! The dragon roared to the ck sky, covering the whole world with its purple thunderfire. The Ink World began to melt slowly but surely, leaving Titania speechless. "Just what kind of creature did he imagine?" Titania tried to maintain her domain. "The Ink World might be weaker because I''m still in this state, but I have never encountered such a ridiculous dragon in my life." "Even a 10th ss Devil Warrior couldn''t defeat such a dragon..." BOOOOOOOM!! The whole world exploded into ashes. "AAAAHHH, Damn it!" Titania blew her finger continuously and pouted because Huo Yuhao could destroy her Ink World. It took one drop of her All-Transforming Ink to make Ink World, but the burning effect stillsted on her finger. "Phew, Phew~!" She sucked her index finger in annoyance. "This unfilial inheritor, hmph!" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and looked around, locating Titania a few meters away. "Send me back, Titania." He said while feeling weak. "I met the requirement already." "I know... Shut your eyes for a moment." Titania responded coldly. "..." Huo Yuhao put on a deadpan expression. "Don''t stare at me like that! Just shut your eyes." Titania ordered, to which Huo Yuhaoplied as he would never return outside with her mood like this. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and felt a gentle push on his lips, probing into his mouth gently. He opened his eyes and found Titania kissing him with a reddened face. "D-Done! Go back now!!" Titania suddenly pushed him away, turning around quickly. She doesn''t want Huo Yuhao to see her current state. "Just said you want to kiss me, you know? What''s this cliche tsundere moment?" Huo Yuhao shook his head. ... ... [Ding! You have awakened Ancient Ink Devil''s "Ink Domain." ability] Huo Yuhao returned and was "abruptly." weed with a familiar stone ceiling. "Titania..." He rubbed his lips lightly. "Unfortunately, this is only a simtion." "She would be a good friend to everyone in the homeworld." Stretching his body, Huo Yuhao walked out of the room and yawned as he needed a warm bath. He picked up a recovery potion and drank it on the spot. "Hmm??" Huo Yuhao nced at the roof, feeling two 9th ss Devil Warriors approaching the ck Pearl Castle. "They are here." He whispered in delight. Mercy and ra are doing their job wlessly. Harmonia and Triana hovered above the ck Pearl Castle, seeing the area with surprised faces. "Woah, this ce... This ce is no different than barrennd. Monia thought there was grasnd around the ck Pearl Castle. What happened here?" Harmoniamented curiously. Triana nodded and added, "Yes, I''m curious..." Harmonia shrugged and continued, "Let''s find our little brother first, Triana." "Mm." "Let''s find Theo." Chapter 159: Making the Twin Sisters Fall Chapter 159: Making the Twin Sisters Fall --- Chapter 157.5 --- "Triana, don''t you think this castle is too grim?" "Yes, Monia." "It''s weird..." "And Theo lived in this ce for over a year." The twin thought at the same time. They hoped Theomars wouldn''t be aplete piece of shit here. That would be a shame. "4th Young Lady." "5th Young Lady." Someone called Harmonia and Triana suddenly, making the twin turn around and sees Damian greeting them politely with a bow. "Damian?" Harmonia recalled the butler''s name. Damian nodded and replied, "Yes, It''s me, Damian." "I''m here to inform you two. Your Highness Theomars have been waiting for your arrival in his room." "Eh?" Triana was surprised. "Theo acted like a brave man once in his life..." Harmonia saw her twin''s reaction andmented arrogantly, "Don''t overthink it, Triana. It''s Theo we are talking about here. He probably wanted to gain our favor to protect him from the 1st Sister." "He''s so dumb for provoking Sister Alexandra in the first ce." "T-True..." Triana believed Harmonia''s words but had a deep suspicion left in her heart. Damian escorted them to Huo Yuhao''s room and exined the fake general situation of the ck Pearl Castle. This ce might look worn out from the outside, but the inside is warm enough for people to survive the winter. And not to mention the endless supply of food and water from the Jungle Dungeon. Damian isn''t dumb to share these with Harmonia and Triana. "We have arrived, youngdies." Damian stopped before a brown wooden door. "Your Highness Theo is inside." Harmonia smiled and replied, "Is that so? Hehe, Monia is more excited than usual for some reason." She barged into the room immediately. "Thank you, Damian." Triana nced at Damian before following her twin sister. Damian smiled back and returned, "You''re wee." Entering the room, Harmonia and Triana could see a handsome young man with thick ck hair and unfamiliar red eyes. He calmly sat on the chair while sipping a cup of tea, giving off a serene vibe. "T-Theo." Triana recognizes her younger brother instantly. Even though he had be more handsome, his facial features still resembled Theomars she knew. What happened to him? Meanwhile, Harmonia is stunned on the spot. She has never seen such a hottie in her life. Sure, she had seen several handsome men in the capital, but none could rival this young man. His serene demeanor and mysterious aura are straight up Harmonia''s alley. So when hearing Triana calling Theo''s name, Harmonia was shocked. "What??!" Huo Yuhao ced the cup and yawned, "Haa... You acted like a ghost was standing in front of you. Jeez, can you speak calmly?" "Have you gone senile, Harmonia von Admante? I can see some wrinkles on your skin." "R-Rude!" Harmonia released her 9th ss Devil Warrior''s aura, trying to pressure Huo Yuhao. However, he doesn''t care and keeps a mocking smile. SWOOSH! "I need to teach you a lesson." Harmonia moved forward at astonishing speed, but when she was about to p her younger brother''s face. He caught her hand and mmed her down to the floor. Crack! "Lousy." Huo Yuhao stepped on Harmonia''s back, staring at Triana with his glowing red eyes, "What do you think, 5th Sister? You might want to help Harmonia." "However, you take one step, and I''ll break her finger." "Triana, use your Devil Force-!" Harmonia shouted furiously. BAM! "ARRRGH!!" Huo Yuhao used Internal Destruction on Harmonia''s pinky finger and broke its bone apart. "I''m not in the mood to argue here..." He released his Cultivation, which widened the twin''s eyes open. "N-Ninth ss..." Triana mumbled in disbelief. "Devil Warrior." Harmonia huffed in pain. "There is no way." "There is no way... Everyone knows your Devil Source got destroyed in Monster Race''s ambush. You shouldn''t be able to cultivate inner energy anymore." "And we have checked your body once! It''s crippled!!" Huo Yuhao grinned indifferently and responded, "That would be a case for Theormars von Admante. You''re correct. He was disabled and couldn''t train his inner energy again." "I''m not Admante anymore, remember?" "The man in this room currently is Theomars von Valstrax." "And this man will also make you experience hell." ... ... Under the ck Pearl Castle, Huo Yuhao dragged Harmonia and Triana into the torturing room. He has sealed their inner energies with the Energy-Dampening Chain, so further retaliation is useless. The twin could only ept their fates. "There, you''ll live here for one week from now on. And within that one week, I will transform you into a needy slut." "A bitch that couldn''t live without my cock or decision." Harmonia spat at Huo Yuhao and challenged him, "I won''t let you break me! Even if you torture me, I, Harmonia von Admante, won''t lose." "Sister." Triana couldn''t help but feel speechless. Harmonia makes the situation worse. "Good." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "Don''t make it easy for me. That wouldn''t be fun." "Let''s savor this one week together." "Starting from this energy drink." He abruptly shoved a ss bottle into Harmonia''s mouth and made her gag for a second, pouring all the content into her throat. Harmonia could feel her body heating up and making everything she touched weird. The gagging sensation in her mouth turned into extreme pain. "AHHN!" The drug makes her very sensitive. T-That was dumbfounding. Triana stood on the spot getting sprayed by her twin''s translucent juice and looked at her silently. She gulped nervously and watched Huo Yuhao turn around. "N-No, please..." Huo Yuhao grabbed Triana''s hair and forced her to drink the same drug, pinching the nipple through her clothes. Triana crossed her leg instinctively and a moan, dropping to the floor with liquid pouring from her lower mouth. "AHHHN~!!" She cummed hard, losing control of her dder. Seeing the two women on the floor, Huo Yuhao unknowingly smiled and experimented with his new ability. An ink dropped from his finger and formed an invisible domain around him. It covers only a 10-meter radius outside but is "extremely." vast on the inside. Almost endless at first nce. [Name: Ink Domain] [Type: Active] [Grade: S] [Description: Create a domain with All-Transforming Ink and turn the Ink World to your liking. Even though strong, Ink Domain could only trap people with lower cultivation than the host. Breaking the Ink Domain is only possible when the target possesses extreme "Devil Force." rted to time and space maniption] [Duration: Ink Domain onlysts for 30 minutes in real-time] [Cooldown: A day(decrease as the wielder be stronger)] "What a convenient ability." Huo Yuhao set the time dtion to one day for each second in real-time. "1.800 seconds... Meaning 1.800 days and less than five years, huh?" "I hope I get this skill sooner." "Make things easier for information gathering and torture. Mercy and ra would also break faster. Oh well, everything is going to be better soon." "Mind Break..." Huo Yuhao recalled a tag from a known cultured website in his past life. "Haha." In the ink domain, ink slowly transformed into tentacles and slithered toward the twin women from the Admante Family. These tentacles are made from All-Transforming Ink, grabbing around Harmonia and Triana''s bodies. Harmonia is the first to wake up and panic because a ck thing suddenly shoves into her mouth. She struggled to breathe and felt her clothes melting slowly. "Ahhn~!" A moan escaped the gap in her mouth. "Ahhn~! T-Too big! Stop!" Another tentacle formed itself from the shadow and rubbed against her bare pussy, teasing the wet hole continuously. It always drives her to the edge, but not enough to make her orgasm. "I-I''m cumming-! No!!!" A frustrated groanes from Harmonia. The tentacle stopped the moment she felt good. Triana opened her eyes slowly and watched her twin sister getting vited by several dark tentacles. Harmonia''s whole body is piping hot, sweating like she has done extreme exercise. "Monia." She tried to call Harmonia but was "literally." greeted by an electric shock in her pussy. Triana rocked her head up and experienced a massive stimulus down. She experienced orgasm for the second time in the day and breathed heavily. She looked down and saw a simr tentacle had plowed her in the ass, probing her inner wall. "Ahhn~!" "Ahhn~!" "Stop, please~! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!" Triana grunted hard, having her mind experience genuine confusion. She grabbed the tentacle with her hand and felt anothering from behind. It never ends there as the tentacle groped her breasts, kneading them like dough. Triana moaned again and could feel something building up in her pussy again. They don''t know how much time has passed and could only drown in neverending torment. And Especially for Harmonia, who always got edged beyond her resistance. Harmonia begged Huo Yuhao to let her cum, but no replies came. And suddenly, everything stopped. "Huh??" Harmonia and Triana looked around in confusion, feeling a throbbing sensation all over their bodies. "How was it? One day in my ink domain?" Huo Yuhao appeared while drinking cold water. "Yes, you heard that right. Only one day has passed since you entered this world and begged like a bitch to cum." "Y-You bastard!" Harmonia shouted with trembling legs. "Make me cum now!" "Not with that attitude." Huo Yuhao returned casually. "By the way, there are still 1799 days to go. And you can call me anytime if you want to turn into my bitches." "All you just had to do is beg. Beg like a little bitch, you are." Harmonia flustered and gritted her teeth in annoyance. Her body desperately wanted to cum, but her pride won''t allow it. The tentacle also infused strange drugs into Harmonia''s nervous system, making her extremely horny and sensitive to touches. Even a simple scratch will push her to near orgasm. Yet, She would never beg again. She would never beg Theomars again. A few moments ago, she was just "momentarily." swayed by heat. Yes, definitely. "M-Monster..." Triana uttered, causing Huo Yuhao to chuckle. "Haha..." "Hahaha." "Me, Monster? No, that''s not right." Huo Yuhao smacked Triana''s ass with the intent to hurt her. She grasped for air and orgasmed with pain searing on her ass. "Don''t forget. You two are also monsters." "Don''t justify your past action toward Theomars like what I did is horrible. At least you''re an adult now, but Theomars is a child. You two are part of the group that vited his body and mind, torturing him till no return." "Don''t act innocent, just bitch..." His red eyes struck fear into Harmonia. "I''ll be petty from now on. And take my words back, no begging." Huo Yuhao slowly vanished from the ink world. "You two will stay in this world for one year." "I''ll be back after one year." "Let''s hope those pussies stay wet, hahaha~!" Huo Yuhaoughed sinisterly, leaving the twin in endless suffering filled with pain and unsatisfied pleasure. The tentacle began to wrap around Harmonia and Triana''s bodies, shoving and probing them as if they were toys. Moans echoed in the Ink World. The moan became more frustrating as time passed, which sounded like a desperate animal in a cage. Harmonia and Triana cried in agony, drooling because the tentacle was too much for them. One yearter, Huo Yuhao walked toward the Admante twin and whistled casually. "Well, have you enlightened yourself?" He asked Harmonia. "Fweh... Cum..." "I want to cum..." "Let me cum..." "Just once, once." Harmonia couldn''t even speak correctly. "M-Master!" Triana suddenly called while kneeling on the ground. She was butt-naked, putting herself in a submissive position. "I''m sorry. It''s my fault~!" "This lowly bitch is wrong. Please, forgive me." "Forgive me." "Please let me repent for my mistake. Let me be your ve eternally. Yes, I''ll be willing slut for you." "See, it''s not hard." Huo Yuhaomented lightly. "And Triana, start sucking then." Triana hurriedly crawled to Huo Yuhao and mumbled, "Thank you. Thank you, Master." She gently pulled Huo Yuhao''s dick and looked at the precious meat rod with gleaming eyes. She was hungry for pleasure. Triana licked Huo Yuhao''s shaft and led her lips to the tip, bringing her mouth down to swallow the dick. Gawk! Gwak! She struggled but tried her best to show Huo Yuhao she was a good little bitch. Huo Yuhao grabbed Triana''s head and pushed her down, forcing the poor woman to roll her eyes. "Take my semen." He said while ejacting in her mouth. He could feel Triana''s throat squishing his dick tightly. PWAH! Triana could release herself after a minute, having the semen taste linger in her mouth. "Ass up, face down." Huo Yuhaomanded, to which sheplied instantly. Raising her ass, Triana could feel Huo Yuhao''s strong yet cold finger rubbing her clit. She released a muffled moan as her hand closed her mouth. "M-MastER-!" Without any warning, Huo Yuhao shoved his big dick inside Triana''s pussy and made her squeal happily. "AAHN~!" "THIS IS IT~!!!" "PLEASE, PLOW MY PUSSY EVEN DEEPER, MASTER~!" "ABUSE MY LOWER HOLE TO YOUR BIDDING!!" Huo Yuhao could feel Triana''s inner wall sucking him deeper. "Good girl." He rocked his hips faster. "Watch, Harmonia." He provoked the other woman in the area. "Watch your twin''s state. She''s no different than bitch in heat." "Imagine if this pussy was yours. Imagine if you were the one who experienced this pleasure." Huo Yuhao pulled Triana''s ass and said, "Here, take it." "Cum, Triana!" "AAHHHHNNNNN~!!!" Triana rolled her eyes to aplete white and fell to the floor with one year''s worth of edging. Her whole body spasmed in pleasure, shutting its function for a moment. [You have received an achievement] [Name: Fucking to Death] [Grade: A] [Effect: Inflict 100% more pleasure when driving women to near death while doing sexual activity] "I-I... I''m sorry." Harmonia suddenly said. Drool is gushing from her mouth. "P-Please forgive me. I''ll be your ve like Triana." "I''ll be your bitch too." "Yes! I''ll do anything for you, Master." "Hmm... Too bad." Huo Yuhao responded while cing Triana on his shoulder. "You didn''t sound convincing enough." "Maybe another year in this ce will make you behave better." Harmonia''s eyes widened as she screamed, "NOOOOOO!" "Bye-bye ~!'' ... ... "So good! It feels so good." Triana bounced on Huo Yuhao''s dick. Huo Yuhao smiled because Harmonia was guaranteed to fall soon, leaving Alexandra alone. After conquering Alexandra, he could talk with everyone on the homeworld. "MASTER THEO, I GIVE UP!" "I GIVE UP MY RIGHT AS HARMONIA VON ADMANTE!" "I''M YOUR LITTLE BITCH NOW! P-PLEASE! P-P-PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR SLUT FOR ETERNITY!" "Music to my ears." Huo Yuhao said, realizing six minutes had passed in real-time. Returning to the Ink World, Huo Yuhao saw Harmonia von Admante bowing on the ground. She cried and had some red marks across her body. "Heh, someone has finally realized her position." "Y-Yes, Master. M-May I serve you like Triana?" Harmonia uttered with the utmost respect. Huo Yuhao epted Harmonia''s service and watched her lick the sole of his boot happily. He created a chair and let Harmonia do something with her upper mouth first. "T-Then, I''ll start." Harmonia began licking the heavenly dick like it was the greatest treasure in the universe. She worshiped it more than the god of this world. Swallowing the whole thing into her throat, Harmonia dutifully gave Huo Yuhao the best sloppy blowjob she could do. And a few hourster, Huo Yuhao finally cummed in her mouth. "Good." Huo Yuhao patted Harmonia''s head. "What are you again, Harmonia?" "I''m just a mere slut, hungry for your cock. Master~!" Harmonia''s cloudy eyes shone dimly. Huo Yuhao pushed Harmonia down and aligned his dick with her pussy, roughly pressing her down. "AAHH~!" "AAAHH~~!!" "I FINALLY GET PLOWED!" Harmonia cried in happiness. Huo Yuhao kept pushing his dick into Harmonia''s pussy and began to move back and forth. He grabbed her bountiful breast and pinched the hard nipple, making her hiss in pleasure. After making her feel great, Huo Yuhao turned her around and pistoned even more powerfully. "OOH~!" "I''M DYING!" "YOUR DICK IS BREAKING ME APART~!!" "TOO GOOD! IT IS TOO GOOD!!" "Cum, slut." Huo Yuhao bit into her nape. "AAAGGGGGHHHHHHHNNNNN~!!!" [Ding! You have enved Harmonia and Triana von Admante, adding them to your ve list] [Objective: 4/5] "One more to go." Huo Yuhao pulled his dick out, noticing a gush of semening from Harmonia''s pussy. "Remember, Harmonia. From now on, you''re my slut." Chapter 160: A Faint Suspicion Chapter 160: A Faint Suspicion --- Chapter 158 --- Six days have passed. Huo Yuhao sessfully tamed Theomars'' twin sisters and put them under his control. With one more left before he could finish the quest and obtain a way to talk with everyone on his homeworld. He walked to the veranda with only pants, stretching and using Universal Breathing Technique to flow his inner energy well. When reaching the 9th Devil Warrior, Devil Race''s body evolved and possessed the affinity to wield Greater Inner Energy. It''s ten times purer and more potent than regr inner energy, holding enough force to blow everything apart with a simple wisp. Weirdly, simr to pure Spirit Energy for some reason. Huo Yuhao gradually nced at his bed and saw the twin sister'' flushed faces. "Was that out of my desire?" He questioned himself silently, feeling lost for a moment because his hate toward Theomars'' sister was like an unquenched thirst. It''s understandable because Theomars'' sisters are disgusting. However, Huo Yuhao didn''t understand something. Was he this sadist before? No, let''s not overthink it. Just protect this castle, kill those monsters, and enve Alexandra to finish this world off. [Name: Harmonia von Admante] [Age: 20] [Race: Impure Ink Devil(Superior] [Cultivation: 9th ss Devil Warrior(Low)] [Description: The 4th Young Lady of the Admante Family. Likes "Punished by Her Master." and "Orgasm Denial."] [Name: Triana von Admante] [Age: 20] [Race: Impure Ink Devil(Superior)] [Cultivation: 9th ss Devil Warrior(Low)] [Description: The 5th Young Lady of the Admante Family. Likes "Punished by Her master." and "Tentacle y Addict."] "I''ll be a little bust from now on." Huo Yuhao called for a maid, telling her to clean Harmonia and Triana. "Alexandra has ordered the twins to fetch me back the Admante Family, meaning this castle will get abandoned. Unfortunately, I can''t let that happen because monster waves are rampant these days." "The castle won''t survive with me." Huo Yuhao trusted his shadow army, but only four elite shadows could fend against 9th ss Monsters. That''s a tiny number than the Monster Army''sst flood with over ten 9th-ss Monsters. He pulled out the Fairy King''s Canvas and started drawing an exact copy of himself. Or precisely, Huo Yuhao before entering this simtion. "All-Transforming Ink: Ink Clone." The ink squirmed, forming a young man with dazzling azure sky-colored hair and royal blue eyes. "I can''t say much about appearance-wise, but the ck Pearl Castle wouldn''t get defeated with you here." Huo Yuhaomented while imprinting his Eternal Shadow on the clone. So he could use Shadow Exchange anytime. ... Huo Yuhao took his time to enjoy thest proper foods he had in the ck Pearl Castle. He ordered Damian to give him extra fancy dishes with the ingredients they got in the Jungle Dungeon. He stored some in the inventory because he wouldn''t eat anything in the capital. God knows how many people tried to scam Theomars there. "Um, Your Highness." Damian suddenly called him. "What''s wrong?" Huo Yuhao was in the middle of chewing his dinosaur steak. Damian scratched his mustache nervously and replied, "It''s about the Underground Mine under the castle... We have discovered a vein of ck Star Iron. With your shadow army, the vein was "firmly." secured. Yet, the smith couldn''t process it." "Normal fire won''t work." ck Star Iron is a well-known crafting material in the Titania Bolos, which everyone regarded as the most versatile ingredient to make a weapon and armor. And the reason behind that is the mineral''s property to channel Inner Energy is up to 200%. The more pure and old ck Star Iron is, the stronger the item created with it could be. Not to mention this material is light and durable. There is even a history about 8th ss Devil Warrior, who yed 9th ss Monster with ck Star Iron Sword. "How much ck Star Iron do we have currently?" Huo Yuhao wiped his mouth with a napkin. Damian''s face brightened as he answered, "Around 0.3 Ton." "That much?" "Yes. We have that much. Though, I suppose the quantity keeps increasing as time passes." Damian exined the shadow army helped with thebor so much that an almost 12 kilometers radius of mine was "quickly." created within 15 months. They mined several rare minerals and had no problem smelting them until ck Star Iron appeared. "I''ll do something about it. Tell Harmonia and Triana to wait in the garden." Huo Yuhao walked to the basement, reaching the mine himself. Upon arriving at the ce, Huo Yuhao could see his shadow army mining rocks and pushings countless carts filled with rare materials. It''s not a coincidence that this ce was "literally." blessed. "Well, I can use this item now." Huo Yuhao grabbed Ogre King''s Heart and Ogre King''s Hammer from his inventory. [Name: Ogre King''s Heart] [Type: Consumable/Material] [Grade: SS+] [Description: Heart of the Ogre King, possessing intense fire and metal(steel) elements. Consuming the Ogre King''s Heart allows one to wield power over fire and steel. And refined to artifact enhanced any fire and steel attribute by 300%] [Name: Ogre King''s Hammer] [Type: Equipment] [Grade: SS] [Description: Ogre King''s Hammer is War Hammer, which also functions as cksmith''s Hammer due to Ogre King''s size. It was enchanted with Ancient Devil''s Blood and could refine minerals with a single strike] "Not time to wait." Huo Yuhao picked the Ogre King''s Heart, which looks like a devil fruit with a metallic copper glow. He swallowed the whole thing and felt a throbbing sensation in his chest. [You have consumed Ogre King''s Heart] [You have gained "Ogre King''s Devil me." and "Steel-like Body." Skills] [Ding! You''re now worthy to wield the Ogre King''s Hammer] Ogre King''s Hammer is like what the description said. A War Hammer with a long handle made from unknown white bone and a teardrop-shaped hammerhead. It weighed several tons, but with the "qualification." he gained. It''s so light andparable to a typical hammer. Tying his hair up, Huo Yuhao stretched his body andmented, "Well, let''s start hammering some shit." ... ... Dum! DUM! Everyone in the ck Pearl Castle could feel tremors from time to time and smile helplessly. It was their Castle''s Master doing, after all. After Damiand relied upon the matter of ck Star Iron, Huo Yuhao began producing new equipment for everyone. Huo Yuhao only needed their sizes, body type, and specialty as the servant has reached 5th ss Devil Warrior or higher in thest 15 months. And frankly speaking, his craftsmanship blew them away. How could he be so good at cksmithing? Even the veteran cksmith in the ck Pearl Castle was speechless. Like Alchemy, Huo Yuhao also mastered the art of cksmithing in the homeworld. He doesn''t need it to be a passive skill because everything was "strongly." ingrained in his mind. In the Underground Mineshaft, a handsome young man with ck hair and red eyes hammering piping hot-looking metal intensely. He used All-Transforming Ink coated with Armament Haki as an anvil because no material in this underground could resist his hammer strike. His right hand grasped a massive war hammer, smashing it down against the neat-shaped handguard. CLANK! The spark flies everywhere. "Almost there..." "Qilin, prepare the Quenching Liquid." Huo Yuhao ordered the fluffy beast to fill the basin with gold-like liquid, a mix of Water and Metal Elements. "Wee~!" Qilin followed themand perfectly. Huo Yuhao picked up the handguard and dipped inside the basin, feeling the warmth. Ogre King''s Heart does raise his Fire Resistance and Fire Affinity to an incredible level. After several minutes, Huo Yuhao fished his creation andmented, "All done." "I made 69 sets of armor and weapons for everyone in the ck Pearl Castle, excluding myself." "This handguardpleted my inner armor set wlessly." [Name: ck Star''s Handguard(Left)] [Type: Inner Armor/ck Star Armor Set] [Description: ck Star''s Handguard is a handguard made of ck Star Iron and several rare minerals, giving the wearer extra defense] Huo Yuhao wiped his sweat and added, "It took me longer than I expected." Checking his inventory, Huo Yuhao could see several other ck Star''s armor pieces. [ck Star''s Light Chestte] [ck Star''s Light Legging] [ck Star''s Boots] [ck Star''s Shin Guards(W/L) [ck Star''s Hand Guard(W)] Even though Huo Yuhao couldpress the Eternal Shadow into durable armor and use Armament Haki constantly, he doesn''t want to take his chance against Alexandra von Admante. That woman is dangerous, so extra protection is a huge plus. And like what Titania assessed a while ago, He should stop using All-Transforming Ink too simply. "Well, I only use Halberd and Bow most of the time." Huo Yuhao nced at the two weapons leaning on the cave wall. [Darkest Star''s Halberd(SS)] [Falling Star X-Bow(SS)] Darkest Star''s Halberd is apletely jet-cked halberd around 2 meters long, with an "extremely." sharp ax end. A piece of red silk was "skillfully." tied in the middle of the pole. It''s called the Darkest Star because Huo Yuhao made it with the purest ck Star Iron one could possibly refine. As for the Falling Star X-Bow. It''s an X-shaped bow with a slender body made of the purest ck Star Iron and bowstrings synthesized from the monster race''s tendon. "I''m ready." He stored everything in the inventory, also a big chunk of ck Star Iron, to y around with people in the capital. He wanted to see what kind of benefits these people could give him. ... ... The next day. "Damian, tell my clone immediately when something dangerous is about to happen. Don''t ever try to fight back if there is an enemy beyond everyone''s level, and call me. Understand?" Huo Yuhao said calmly. Damian nodded and replied, "Understood, Your Highness." Harmonia and Triana waited for Huo Yuhao and calmly observed the conversation between the butler and him. Looking at the ck Pearl Castle for thest time, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and turned around. "Let''s go." He said to the twins. "Yes, Master~!" They responded happily. Damian blinked his eyes once and saw the trio sh to the horizon, only allowing him to see three ck spots far away. He shook his head wryly because the young master had the right to leave this ce. "Aih... It would be a little lonely here." He wiped the tears in his eyes with a handkerchief. Flying in the sky, Huo Yuhao observed thend below him calmly. Titania Bolos is a small star based on Evo''s data, floating calmly on the edge of the universe. Yet, a fucking Alien-based Race can invade this ce. "Coincidence, huh?" Huo Yuhao looked at the vastnd of grass, having no sign of intelligent beings. They have traveled several kilometers from the ck Pearl Castle and break the sound barrier with Triana''s ability to control the sky. He was surprised that she wasn''t more powerful than ra, as Devil Force is a cheating ability. "Master, there is a Karuta Empire''s Army Post nearby. Do you want to stop and check it out first?" Harmonia asked calmly. "It seems the capital has predicted the monster race to attack this ce." "It''s a viable prediction because there was a big city called Norman 30 miles away from the post." Huo Yuhao ignored Harmonia and checked the so-called big city with his Observation Haki, frowning because a simr scenario also happened in this ce. "Monster Nest..." He mumbled solemnly. "The attack of the monster race will start from thatke." Huo Yuhao pointed at the vast blueke between the army post and the city. "This ce was swept by flood three weeks ago, right?" "When everyone is busy protecting the city, some monster nts their eggs in theke. Well, I said some, but it is roughly around 5-7 million of them." "Eh?" Harmonia''s eyes widened in shock. Hearing Huo Yuhao''s statement, the twin fell into a dilemma. "You can warn them if you want, but I don''t care about it. Going to the Admante Family was our goal from the beginning." Huo Yuhao kept flying forward, leaving the twin silents. Since Huo Yuhao has given his permission, Triana and Harmonia created a temporary barrier around theke. They also warned the army post about the iing attack. Yawn~! "Evo, give me all bodies of water within 3000 miles radius." Huo Yuhao yawned while observing theke. [Okay, Host] [There are over 69kes of various sizes and 38 rivers across thend] "That''s like 107 spawn points. The monster race is surely persistent." "At least there are nokes around the ck Pearl Castle." Huo Yuhao whistled while enjoying the scenery. [Ding! You have received a mini quest] [Name: Prevention is better than Cure] [Objective: Destroy 107 Monster Nest before the monster race can start the surprise attacks(0/107)] [Reward: Fairy King''s Canvas: Third Effect unlocked, Karuta Empire''s 2nd Emperor Badge, and Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] "Haa... Evo, I''m starting to doubt you." Huo Yuhao rubbed his temple. "Fine, I''ll ept the quest." Huo Yuhao cracked his fist and said, "Let''s add a few million to my kill counts." Chapter 161: Arrived at the Capital City: Grodunberg Chapter 161: Arrived at the Capital City: Grodunberg --- Chapter 159 --- "Let''s see..." Huo Yuhao grabbed the Falling Star X-Bow and peeked at the map Evo had marked once. Just once is enough for him to pinpoint every location of the monster''s nest. Using Universal Breathing Technique, Huo Yuhao enhanced his physical strength and pulled the bowstrings gently. The newly made bow is somehow rougher to operate than he expected. It won''t be even with 50% of his full strength. However, that''s why Huo Yuhao liked it. The raw force he could generate with this bow exceeded even some SS-ss Weapon he created in the past. Of course, in pure stats alone, not counting added abilities from things such as Spirit Bones used as materials. "With my bow, I abused the power of Fire and Steel. Darkness lingers within my arrows, and Death strikes everything struck by them. Eternal Shadow is equality all my enemy shall experience at the end time." "Die... You imbecile monsters." "My arrows will never miss... Gund Pati." He tilted the Falling Star X-Bow and aimed at the atmosphere, firing a sequence of energy arrows. Several sparks appeared and shed across the sky, having a potent force to blow everything apart with a single strike. The fire and steel danced with each other, triggering the multiplication of Huo Yuhao''s arrows. One arrow separated into two. Then four, and keeps going until over 100. The arrows seemed like lightning strikes from heaven, painting the blue sky with ck streaks across the horizon. The ck lines be bigger and bigger as time passes, turning the once normal-looking arrows into missiles. Everyone witnessed this breathtaking scenery with their mouth wide open and eyes dted in disbelief, hearing a series of thunderps from the sky. SWOOSH! KABOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOOOM!!! [You have killed 112.030.700 Monster Races] [You have killed 87.300.020 Monster Races] [You have killed 13.023.046 Monster Races] [You have killed 69.012.342 Monster Races] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [You have killed...] [...] [...] [...] [You have obtained a new achievement] [Extreme Monster ughterer] [You have received a new title] [Monster-Exterminating Archer(S)] [Name: Monster Exterminating Archer] [Grade: S] [Effect: Dealt 150% more damage on Monster Race when wielding bow] Huo Yuhao threw Falling Star X-Bow back into the Inventory and watched the ck lightning strikes every body of water within a 3000 miles radius. He checked the area with Evo''s map and noticed the red area changed into blue again, leaving only a few spots with red marks. It includes theke near the Army Post and some locations deep in Karuta Empire''s territory. "There are 9th Level Monsters there, huh? Anyway, my attacks should have injured them quite badly, given how much power and energy I put into them." "Probably on their death bed." "Master, was that you?" Triana suddenly appeared with a gush of wind. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "If you want to eliminate the nest, I rmend you lead everyone in the army post to attack theke immediately." "There are two or three 9th ss Monsters there." Hearing Huo Yuhao''s words, Triana frowned and mumbled, "I''ll do so." "Please wait for a moment, Master. I know it''s bad already for us to dy the journey." "Y-You can punish me if you wantter." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and returned, "Shut up. You only want to get off, Triana." "Hehe..." Triana giggled, disappearing from Huo Yuhao''s sight. Huo Yuhaonded on the ground and summoned Rosa, telling her to finish the 9th ss Monsters on the edge of thisnd. She was surprised for a moment and nodded in affirmation. "Leave it to me, my liege." Rosa crouched down and used her shadow nts'' maniption. She clenched her hand and triggered several monstrous roars across thend. [Your subordinate: Rosa has killed twenty 9th ss Monsters] [Adding them to the kill counts] Evo notified Huo Yuhao. "No. not yet." Rosa pulled her hand and dragged the monster corpses into the Eternal Shadow Realm, knowing they would be beneficial resources for her lord. Huo Yuhao noticed this and didn''t say anything, as 9th ss Monsters would be good shadow beads to increase his shadow army''s strength. "Oh yeah, Rosa." "You''ll stand by on my side." "We are going to the capital after this monster nest thing is over." Rosa trembled when catching what her lord meant. Capital? Her former home. "You can turn off your phantom form too, Rosa. And change your appearance so no one will be suspicious." Huo Yuhao added casually. "I need an aide that wouldn''t hinder my n." Rosa mumbled something and changed her appearance to be more human-like. She stood over 6 feet, having unparalleled beauty and scattered ck hair. She wore a proper yet modest blue dress and matching high heels. There is a resemnce to Terresa de Kemos, but people won''t notice it until their fourth or fifth nces. It''s possible because Huo Yuhao''s Shadow Extracts don''t transform one''s soul into aplete Shadow being. It''s just the essence of one''s being, getting converted into a shadow warrior. Of course, turning off Phantom Form, where all physical damage is pletely." nullified and gives shadow warrior basically immortality, doesn''t bring anything to the table. Except for appearance-wise. It''s one of the differences between Ashborn''s Power and Huo Yuhao''s Eternal Shadow. "Share all information rted to capital through the mental link, Rosa." "I want to review them in this journey." "Right away, my liege." Rosa closed her dark blue eyes. [Ding! You have finished the Quest] [Rewarding Fairy King''s Canvas: Third Effect unlocked, Karuta Empire''s 2nd Emperor Badge, and Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist] [Third Effect of Fairy King''s Canvas unlocked] [Fairy King''s Canvas(Bonded)] [1st Effect: Ancient Ink Blood''s Strengthening] [2nd Effect: Sub-Dimension Space] [3rd Effect: Summon Ancient Ink Devil''s Vassals] "That''s neat." Huo Yuhao could feel the Fairy King''s Canvas be stronger. Wandering to the other rewards, Huo Yuhao checked their descriptions quickly. [Name: Karuta Empire''s 2nd Emperor Badge] [Type: Quest Item] [Grade: A+] [Description: The lost badge of Karuta Empire''s 2nd Emperor. It held the dying message from Mile de Kemos hundred years ago] [Name: Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist] [Type: Martial Art] [Grade: S] [Description: Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is a martial art invented by Master Bang, the Ultimate Defensive Art. This style of martial art involves understanding and re-creating within one''s body the flows of torrential and undting forces, putting this into the user''s fists] [Do you want to learn Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao shrugged and pressed yes, feeling theplex information enter his mind. He breathed in and out, shaking his body to adapt to this technique. "What a perfect technique toplement White Room''s Martial Arts and Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves. It''s like Trinity, creating force beyond the user''s realm." "Like..." Huo Yuhao stepped back and lifted his leg, kicking the air alongside the world''s atmosphere. Gently. Precisely. And Bang! Rosa''s eyes widened when witnessing a row of clouds disappear from the sky. She doesn''t feel any usage of Devil Force or Inner Energy from Huo Yuhao''s body, which means that the attack is a pure martial art technique. ''How amazing...'' She thought to herself. [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves has reached level 5] [White Room''s Martial Arts have evolved to S Grade] [Water Stream Rock Smashing Rock has leveled up to level 15] Huo Yuhao puffed a white steam from his mouth. He looked at his leg and mumbled, "The friction is too much. I have to be more gentle..." After waiting for fifteen minutes, Huo Yuhao finally saw Harmonia and Triana again. They appeared slightly messy because of the monster nest''s subjugation, but no injuries were "apparently." visible. "Let''s go." Huo Yuhao jumped and kicked the air with his inner energy, flying into the sky. Rosa and the twins followed him silently. They didn''t encounter any issues on the journey and arrived at the capital city''s border in just two hours. It could be faster, but Huo Yuhao has to mark some areas with rare treasures along the way. And ordered some Shadow Warriors to pick them. "We have arrived, Master~!" Harmonia said with such enthusiasm. "Mm, wee to the Capital City. Grodunberg." Triana added calmly. "Grodunberg..." Rosa''s eyes blinked a few times, overseeing the familiar-looking scenery before her. Grodunberg is a massive city, spanning over 149 kilometers of squares, with several sectors connected to the central sector for three known noble families. It looks like Aqu Constetion from above, having a thick yet tall-looking border outside the city. Huo Yuhao felt somewhat nostalgic as Theomars'' memory shed in his mind briefly. A cold smirk cracks on his face because none of the memories are memorable or happy. "Admante Family." He could see a tall castle in the central area with a twin clock tower near it. "I''m going to destroy everything to rubble..." "Haha..." "Hahaha..." Telling Harmonia and Triana to lead him, Huo Yuhao flew inside the Grodunberg and sensed several powerful presences. He couldn''t help but contain his excitement because they would be valuable additions to his shadow army. Five minutester, theynded at the front gate and were "immediately." greeted by the family guards, which possessed 7th ss Devil Warrior Realms. The guards stared at Huo Yuhao curiously and in contempt, not knowing who he was. Well, his appearance isn''t the same as Theomars of the past. Huo Yuhao ignored them and walked through the gate after Harmonia talked with the guards. "Who''s he? I have never seen such a domineering young man in my life." "Yeah... Those red eyes send a shiver down my spine." "But don''t you think he looks simr to someone?" "True. However, I can''t put my mind to it. Probably a young master from other noble families?" "Ah, I see. Just another bastard then-!" "Woah, what was that??" The guards felt a violent gush on their faces. Swoosh! "Stop, Rosa..." Huo Yuhaomented indifferently. "Killing them won''t do anything." Rosa was about to kill the guards with her shadow thorns but stopped when hearing Huo Yuhao''s order. She clicked her tongue in annoyance and didn''t argue with his decision. However, she remembered their faces and this contempt for eternity. ''I''ll remember this. You guys are safe today.'' Rosa sent another chill to the guards'' spine. Harmonia and Triana also carved the guards'' faces in their death lists but acted naturally. They arrived at the Admante Mansion and were "instantly." weed by rows upon rows of servants. "Wee back, youngdies." They opened their mouths simultaneously. "Where is Alexandra von Admante?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly. The room suddenly bes quiet. The servants looked at Huo Yuhao with dumbfounded expressions. He opened his mouth again and added, "Tell her that Theomars von Valstrax is here." The dumbfounded expressions warped in disbelief instantly. And they couldn''t believe their eyes and ears for a moment. None of the servants believed this young man before them was Theomars or the banished child of the Admante Family. "What? Is she not here?" His cold voice pierced everyone''s ears. "That''s disappointing." "Theo. 1st sister is attending the Family Gathering. She wouldn''t be in the mansion for a few days." Mercy suddenly appeared with her Mercedes persona. She walked down the stairs elegantly. "..." Huo Yuhao. Hushing away the servants, Mercy smiled and arrogantly approached Huo Yuhao. "Follow me." She said excitedly, making the fleeing servant nod in realization. ''Yes, this is how it should be.'' The servants thought confidently. Not realizing how wet Mercy''s bottom part is. It''s literally drenching. Mercy escorted Huo Yuhao and others to her room, finding ra with no clothes on the floor. "Ahn~! Master." Huo Yuhao kept a deadpan look and said, "What''s this." Mercy instantly kneeled on all four behind Huo Yuhao, letting him sit on her back. "W-We can help ourselves, M-Master." She breathed in heavily. "T-Three weeks without you is more torturing than death." Looking at this, Harmonia and Triana also kneeled on the floor. "Do I look like I care about your condition?" Huo Yuhao returned indifferently. The Admante sisters whimpered when seeing this cold demeanor. ''Heh, this looks rather nice.'' Rosa thought to herself. Yes, this is more like it. Not once did people in the central forget the fact Theomars von Admante is his sisters'' ything. No one dared toy their hands on him because thesedies were overly protective. However, there is more than that. As Terresa de Kemos, Rosa witnessed the torture Thaomars went through in his childhood. Of course, it was by ident. Now, the roles have reversed. The arrogant and dignified youngdies of the Admante Family are nothing but lowly bitches in the heat for Theomars. ''It means my liege only has to tame Alexandra von Admante next. It would be hard but not impossible.'' Rosa giggled in amusement. After Mercy and ra exined everything to Huo Yuhao, the room fell into awkward silence. "Then, I''ll visit the Family Gathering." "And create some problem." Huo Yuhao suddenly said, which left Rosa speechless. Yet, again. He has the power and ability to do so. "You four wait here." The Admante''s Young Ladies wanted toin as they wanted to see everyone getting humiliated by their masters, but they could only look down at the floor in a sulking mood. Not seeing Alexandra von Admante kneel on the dirt is a wasteful moment. "Don''t make those faces. All of you would get the front seat as I drag Alexandra back to this ce with a leash." Huo Yuhaomented while stretching a little. He''ll fight or get away with the 2nd Emperor''s lost badge. "Let''s go, Rosa." Huo Yuhao headed out. "Yes, my liege," Rosa answered with a smile, anticipating the iing event at the Royal Pce Garden. Chapter 162: Huo Yuhao vs Alexandra Chapter 162: Huo Yuhao vs Alexandra --- Chapter 160 --- Huo Yuhao strolled on the street of Capital City, Grodunberg. He whistled in pleasant tones while having a menacing halberd on his shoulder. "London Bridge is falling down." "Falling down, falling down." "London Bridge is falling down." Huo Yuhao arrived at the Royal Pce''s front gate, staring at the majestic walls with a smile. "My fairdy..." BOOM! Huo Yuhao sted through the wall and walked inside casually, ignoring the bewildered gazes of the royal guards. Rosa followed him from behind and tied the royal guards with her shadow thorns, pinning them on the ground. "Rosa, where is the garden?" He asked the elite shadow. Rosa pointed her finger at the west wing of the Royal Pce and answered, "There. The Royal Pce garden is there." Huo Yuhao strodezily like this was his house and used Observation Haki to check this ce. "Not bad. Some guests are high and mid 9th ss Devil Warriors." "Hmm?" "Three." "Three?" Rosa tilted her head when hearing Huo Yuhao''s statements. "Yeah, There are three people who could detect my observation technique. Probably the family heads." Huo Yuhao finished his words, which left Rosa silent for a moment. The only people that met Huo Yuhao''s criteria are Aiden Narmos, Gale Narmos''s Father. Alexandra von Admante. Andstly, Terresa''s royal older sister, Lily de Kemos. The current Ruler of the Karuta Empire. "Well, let''s greet them first." Huo Yuhao kicked the ground gently and soared to the sky, skipping the distance between the front gate and the Royal Pce''s Garden. He frowned slightly and felt an illusion barrier to prevent weak-willed people from entering the garden. inly put, only 9th ss Devil Warrior and above could walk in and out freely, which makes him rather intrigued. It has nothing to do with Illusion Skill but is more like specific cements of items across the garden to confuse. The Royal Pce Garden is a formation of arrays that could disorient all five senses. However, this was far from enough to trick Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao broke the formation array and arrived at the green path of grass, looking around calmly. "In case something unpleasant happenedter." He prepared the lost badge of the Karuta Empire''s 2nd Emperor in his pocket. "Who are you?" Someone suddenly blurted. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a middle-aged man with an unkempt yet sage-like white beard. "That''s my question." "Who are you, old man?" Swoosh! Bam! Huo Yuhao lifted his elbow and received a kick from this oldie. He used the energy from his enemy and bounced it back in a skillful uppercut. Crack! Boom! "You''re not from around here..." The middle-aged man squinted his ck eyes. "That technique, I''ve never seen it." "As if you-!" "I have no qualms with you. After taking Alexandra away, I''ll be back to the Admante Family." Huo Yuhao shed to the middle-aged man and struck him in the abdomen, shutting the nerves inside his body for a few minutes. "So stay there, old man." He walked away, leaving the unknown middle-aged man speechless. "Um, my liege." Rosa appeared from the shadows. "That man is Royal Pce''s Head Guard. Helmut Gorden." "Is he important?" Huo Yuhao returned with a yawn. Rosa fumbled with her fingers and answered, "No, not really. He somewhat trained me in the past to reach 5th Devil Warrior." "Then, he doesn''t mean anything to my n." Huo Yuhao continued to move around the Royal Pce Garden until a crowd of people caught his attention. He stopped and met with a familiar-looking woman''s eyes. At the same time, Alexandra von Admante halted her step and gazed upon a ck-haired young man with deep scarlet eyes. Her hand was "instinctively." shaken by his sudden appearance. ''No! No, This can''t be!'' Alexandra thought to herself. She tried to calm down. ''I-I haven''t prepared myself yet. At this point, I''ll lose my control-!'' It was toote. A ck sh skipped through the garden and caused a strong gust of wind. Everyone in the Family Gathering Event simultaneously moved their gazes to the sources, finding Huo Yuhao with his halberd. "Alexandra von Admante, remember my words back then?" Huo Yuhao questioned the Admante Family''s head. "I''ll put a leash on your precious neck." "What the hell!" "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" A man around Alexandra''s age walked forward and faced Huo Yuhao. He possessed white hair and deep green eyes. "Noisy." Huo Yuhao waved the halberd, causing a shockwave that sted the man away. BOOM! Everyone was stunned. The explosion left a deep crater on the ground, causing dirt and grass to fly everywhere. "Theo..." Alexandra''s eyes shone dimly with devilish light. She suddenly rushed toward Huo Yuhao and tried tounch an inner energy st, which seemed powerful enough to wipe the entire garden away. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao doesn''t need to enter a specific stance and lift his right hand. He pped Alexandra''s wrist away and mmed her to the ground. However, Alexandra used her other hand to support herself andunched a vicious kick to Huo Yuhao''s crotch. "Okay, that''s dirty." Huo Yuhao sidestepped and watched the inner energy st erupt from Alexandra''s restrained hand. BOOM! The inner energy soared to the sky and exploded like a thousand fireworks. Like a whirlwind, Alexandra freed herself from Huo Yuhao''s grasp and reappeared a few meters away. Her face flushed with redness while grabbing the throbbing wrist once gripped by him. "You''ve be stronger, Theo~!" "Much stronger than before." "That''s why I should use more strength to kill you..." She gave Huo Yuhao a small smile, having the whole garden tremble under her pressure. Huo Yuhao was indifferent and replied, "Like it was important. Stop babbling shit ande to me, crazy woman." "Crazy woman..?" Alexandra giggled amusingly. "Yes, you''re right. I''m a Crazy Woman~!" BOOM! Lily de Kemos observed the situation unfold and used her Devil Force to manipte the nts in the Royal Pce Garden. She didn''t want Alexandra to create more damage, but it was toote. Alexandra released even more powerful pressure from her body and forced anyone with cultivation lower than mid-9th ss Devil Warriors to kneel on the ground. These people couldn''t breathe and looked at Alexandra like she was a monster. Yet, Huo Yuhao stood there just fine. He wasn''t affected by Alexandra''s monstrous presence. And Instead. An equal pressure was released from Huo Yuhao''s body, causing a sh in the Royal Pce Garden. Alexandra''s bright yet illusionary white aura shed with Huo Yuhao''s shadowy ck energy. Crackle! The thunderous p urred between them, catching everyone off guard for a moment. The sight before them is too shocking at this moment. "Alexandra, you..." Lily de Kemos couldn''t fathom the depth of their powers. "You have broken the taboo." "The 10th ss-!" BOOOOOOOM! Upon finishing her words, Lily could feel an eruption of inner energy and create nt barriers for everyone. She clenched her hand tightly and groaned because it was too much for her. She coughed a mouthful of blood and saw an unknown woman standing before her. This woman''s back looks awfully simr, but her ck hair gives the same sensation as the young man that faced Alexandra von Admante. The woman didn''t open her mouth and gave Lily a gentle smile filled with regret. ''Still soft-hearted as always, Elder sister.'' Rosa thought while using Shadow Maniption to cover everyone. ''We don''t belong in the same world anymore, but I''ll fulfill my regret the best I can. After that, my only purpose and well-being are to serve my liege.'' She added while moving her gaze to Huo Yuhao. Alexandra''s eyes widened when she witnessed her younger brother resist the presence of the 10th ss Devil Warrior. She lifted her hand and created several weapons out of nowhere, throwing them at him. Huo Yuhao waved his free hand like a flowing water and created a domain around his foothold. Looking at the iing weapons that elerated even further, he coughed air from his lung and coated his hand with Armament Haki. "Flowing Waves: Sphere." BAM! BAM! BAM! His fist moved like sea waves, devouring all weapons thrown by Alexandra. It''s one of the basicbinations between Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves. It''s a basic technique, yet the most versatile usage as Flowing Waves could do more than just a defensive move. Alexandra frowned and created another row of weapons, increasing the power and numbers twofold. "Arms Ballistic." She looked at Huo Yuhao with great expectation. "Flowing Waves: Tsunami." An imaginary image shed in Alexandra''s eyes. Huo Yuhao''s movement started very slowly and delicately. After all, he only took one step forward. Then, it bes more intense and powerful each second. A raging wave that swept everything without discerning the origin. Every weapon pointed at him has crumbled into dust. "..." Alexandra. "Arms Ballistic: 10.000 Weapons of End." ''I won''t hold back anymore.'' Alexandra manifested ten thousand weapons in the sky and covered the sunlight, creating a looming shadow on the ground. A big mistake. Huo Yuhao manipted the scattered shadows and dragged them out with his halberd like a shovel. He bent his entire body andshed out, lifting a curtain of darkness. The curtain of darkness enveloped Alexandra''s weapons and drowned them in a muddy-like substance. SWOOSH! Facing the vicious substance, Alexandra coated her weapons with Greater Inner Energy but noticed Huo Yuhao''s aura and energy swallowed half of it. ''His inner energy seemed to possess an "absorbing." quality.'' ''How weird...'' ''Theo should have possessed "Bouncy Air." Devil Force and flexible inner energy, if I remember correctly, but this darkness. No, this shadow ispletely different.'' Alexandra fell into bewilderment. Her youngest brother should be a worthless Devil Warrior with useless devil force, which fortunately has crippled when the monster race destroys his Devil Source. Devil Source is essential for Devil Race(Kroman) to be stronger, and losing it is basically a death sentence for waiting. They might retain all the power cultivated before getting Devil Source was pletely." destroyed, but it would slowly wither and be unusable after one year. More than one year has passed, but Theomars became more powerful instead of losing his inner energy. Something isn''t adding up. Amused by this situation, Alexandra didn''t realize Huo Yuhao was under her chin already. "Pretty arrogant of you to face me so casually." His voice brushed Alexandra''s ears. BAM! Alexandra felt a heavy blow strike her chest. "Theo, since when did you be so petty." She puffed an air out and looked at Huo Yuhao. "Petty? Look in the mirror, bitch." Huo Yuhao returned while waving his halberd at her. "Look in the mirror and see your actions years ago." "Yep, those memories. I''ll make you experience it." Alexandra''s eyes turned colder alongside her aura, shining dimly with bloodlust. The sky changed suddenly and filled with colorful aurora. The aurora descended and covered Alexandra, wrapping her in white armor with touches of greenish color. She looked at Huo Yuhao silently and teleported to his side. Huo Yuhao expected this when using Observation Haki and ducked down, waving the halberd wildly. nk! "Illusion Weaponry..." Alexandra opened her mouth. A million weapons appeared and struck the ground. KABOOOOM! The whole city of Grodunberg was shaken by this attack, causing several cracks in the Titania Bolos itself. Floating in the sky, Alexandra looked down with flushed cheeks and let out a small moan, "Ah, finally..." "Theo is..." "Theo is what?" Huo Yuhao appeared behind Alexandra and smacked her down. BOOM! Another earthquake shook the city. "..." Alexandra couldn''t believe what just had happened. She sat in a deep hole and stared at the light path ahead of her. "He should have died." "Theo should have died." "I''m sure... That attack, even peak 9th ss Devil Warrior, will die upon experiencing the initial burst." Wiping herself on the lips, Alexandra could feel a small scratch that her youngest brother had inflicted. It''s small but sessfully drawn out of her blood. Just one drop. One drop of blood makes Alexandra realize something. Crack! The warm and loving image of her youngest brother, Theomars von Admante, broke into pieces. "No!" She shrieked hysterically. "STOP!" "DON''T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!!" "THEO!!!" The image crumbled and was "slowly." reced with a helpless image of young Theomars in a cage. CRACK! KACHA! "Kukuku." "I''m free... Again." An excited small appeared on Alexandra''s beautiful face. It was a feral grin, loaded with lust and possessiveness over someone. Raising from the rubble, Alexandra stretched her body and yawned in satisfaction. "I have been sleeping for too long~!" "Mmm, it''s good to be back." "How long has it been? One year? Hmm, around one year and six months." "Anyway, where is my beloved Theo~!" BOOM! The hole suddenly expanded, morphing into a tform for Alexandra to walk out. [Ding! You have triggered a Quest] [Name: Alexandra von Admante''s True Self] [Description: Alexandra von Admante has been suppressing herself to protect Theomars from her dark passion. Now that suppression has morphed and unshackled, releasing the unstable woman with the "extremely." possessive desire to love Theomars again!] [Objective: Shut down Alexandra von Admantepletely(0/1)] [Reward: 1x Random Item of All Grades, Beast King''s Core, A drop of Fairy Tree''s dew] [Penalty: Death] [Do you want to ept the Quest?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao epted while scanning Alexandra''s current condition. [Name: Alexandra von Admante] [Age: 27] [Race: Pure-Blooded Ink Devil(Mid)/Ancient Devil(Locked)] [Cultivation: 10th ss Devil Warrior(High/Unsealed)] [Description: The 1st Young Lady and the current Head of the Admante Family. An inborn sadist with no bound, liking "her beloved brother Theomars von Admante." and "Theomars''s cries." to the extreme despite having a dual personality disorder] Alexandra stood on a rock pir and stared at Huo Yuhao sensually, licking her lips with excitement. "Ah, this is killing me~! I want to vite and make you cry, Theo~!!" "And let''s make it interesting..." Alexandra waved her hand and warped the world around, changing the air into a cage between Huo Yuhao and her. She grasped the air like it was a weapon and "magically." wielded a grotesque-looking sword. Alexandra''s Devil Force is called "Illusionary Manifestation." which allows her to turn imagination into reality. Even though Alexandra couldn''t change other wills freely and something that wasn''t hers, she could still trap them in her domain and overwhelm them until they fell under her reign. She could manipte anything that has be hers. That includes living and dead things, with one exception. Someone that she couldn''t manipte after awakening her Devil Force 19 years ago. Theomars, her beloved younger brother. Her Devil Force couldn''t affect him. That''s why she was so obsessed with him. That''s why she manipted everyone to be a mean and borderline maniac about him. That''s why she wanted him to be by her side forever. A toy that will never break. "What an annoying smile." Huo Yuhaomented casually. "Hmm?" Alexandra tilted her head. "I wonder what kind of faces you''d maketer when I defeat you." He added while pulling out a scroll from thin air. "Because I won''t hold back to this pesky world''s limit anymore." "Dragons would never drop their standard this low..." Huo Yuhao continued with disgust. "Huh??" Alexandra blinked in surprise beforeughing because that was the funniest joke she had ever heard. "You''re only a low 9th ss Warrior." "Just give up, Theo." "Give up and be one with your sister again." "I''ll lower your punishment-!" She was about to finish her words, but an eruption of energy urred abruptly. [You have forcibly created "Spirit Circuits." with All Transforming Ink] [You have used the "Universal Breathing Technique." to expand "Spirit Circuits." to the highest level] [You have ignited Ogre King''s Power] [You have used Devil Trigger] [You have broken the "Devil''s Taboo." and reached the 10th ss Devil Warrior Realm. This effect would onlyst until the "Devil Trigger." deactivated] [Devil''s Taboo "Devil Dragon God of Adversity." have been activated] Upon activating Devil Trigger, Huo Yuhao''s whole body was "quickly." swept over by a violet-colored me. Gleaming dark silver scales have grown on his skin. And three pairs of massive wings, each fused into a trident-like structure and possessing a segment ending in an opening designed to expel scorching devil-draconic energy. His limbs had grown more muscr, having spikes on each joint, ring with a fiery aura. And A lean yet muscr dragon''s tail with a sharp trident-like end also grew from his upper butt. Huo Yuhao''s head developed a twisted dragon horn, having grooves connected to his eye socket. His eyes have red irises and blue sclera now. And his chest has three horizontal gaps that expel pressurized energy particles like a jet engine. [Ding! The Darkest Star''s Halberd was "directly." influenced by Host''s Devil Taboo and evolved into "Ego''s Weapon." in an unorthodox manner] [You may name your Ego Weapon] "Dosa." Huo Yuhao said, causing the Darkest Star''s Halberd to tremble and release intense purple light. The weapon did be 100x heavier than before but stayed normal when he wielded it. Nothing changed besides the ax''s end, which gained a liquid-like state. "This is..." Alexandra was speechless. "How could-!" BAM! Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and punched her in the face mercilessly. She was caught off guard and felt a barrage of punches raining down her body, but she couldn''t do anything because his movement was too fast to follow. "Weaponry Barrage: 9 billion droplets of the universe." Alexandra escaped by teleporting herself out of Huo Yuhao''s reach, creating an attack that enveloped the whole in darkness. A droplet of rain from the sky, but it''s not water. "Ink Domain: Erase." Huo Yuhao swiped the halberd in his hand, using the weapon''s tip like a brush. The All-Transforming Ink expanded and erased Alexandra''s manifestation like nothing. BOOM! The ink exploded with everything swallowed by it. Alexandra wasn''t surprised by this, charging forward with several puppets she had conquered at a young age. Some of them are people with 10th ss Devil Warrior realms. Huo Yuhao pulled the Fairy King''s Canvas open and said, "Come, Heaven Devouring Ink Serpent." SHINING! The massive serpent jumped from the scroll and crashed on Alexandra''s puppets, smashing them onto the ground. BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Huo Yuhao charged toward Alexandra again and swung the halberd at her with full power. "THEO!" Alexandra furiously shouted, summoning a spear that could match Huo Yuhao''s weapon. CLANK! BOOM! They are already several thousand miles away from the Capital City, but the shockwaves still affect Grodunberg. Huo Yuhao exchanged blows with Alexandra, countering her attacks with the flowing-like move possible. He observed her mastery over the spear and tried to find a weakness. CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! Their silhouettes danced in the sky. ''Why?!'' Alexandra put on a frustrated expression. She thrusts her spear rapidly and watches Huo Yuhao effortlessly dodge them all. And then she saw an opening. "THEO!" Alexandra smiled widely and lunged the spear forward, expecting it to hit him flesh. However, the reality is sometimes far different for everyone. Huo Yuhao lodged Alexandra''s spear between his elbow and stabbed the halberd into her stomach. "Fool." "You''re perfect at everything, huh? No wonder I don''t see any loopholes in your movement. I bet you never lost to someone in your life." "And that''s your biggest w. If you don''t have a weakness or opening, I can make one by baiting you." "Now die..." Huo Yuhao used Inner Destruction powered by all his energy to blow Alexandra''s stomach. "I''m Immortal!" Alexandra chanted, causing her body to shine in dreamy white light. BAM! Her stomach was "brutally." blown away, leaving a small portion of it but following her chants. She regenerated quickly. The "Devil Force: Illusionary Manifestation." could also be applied to her body. "You''re cheating." Huo Yuhao sneered upon seeing this. Alexandra grinned and replied, "me the game, not the yer, Theo~!" "Is that so?" "Remember those words well, then." "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, Third Chapter: Never Ending Cycle..." "Of Destruction." As Huo Yuhao finished his words, the energy he once poured into Alexandra''s body began to react weirdly. "ARRGGHH!" Alexandra felt immense pain. Rapid explosions kept happening in her stomach. "I-I can''t feel-!" Before Alexandra could finish her sentence, Huo Yuhao smashed her jaws and cut her tongue. His speed is equal to light itself at this moment. Huo Yuhao struck Alexandra''s chest with a halberd and spread All-Transforming Ink into her body. He used Titania-inspired techniques to nullify one''s ability by creating Ink Domain near Alexandra''s beating hearts. ''No, I can''t-!'' Alexandra panicked for the first time in her life. BAM! COUGH! Alexandra coughed blood from her mouth. "Oh well, your Devil Force also has rules." Hemented while pulling Alexandra''s white hair, forcing her to see his red eyes. "Let me guess... You need to "verbally." chant something to manifest it." "Am I right?" "Haha." Hisugh prated her ears. "After receiving excessive damage, you dered that you are immortal." "Furthermore, you also wanted to dere, "I don''t feel pain." when experiencing my trick. However, I stopped you." "me the game, not the yers..." He pushed the halberd even deeper. "No?" "!!!" Alexandra red at him. She tried to contact her puppet through the mental link and felt their presence disappearing because Heaven Devouring Ink Serpent had swallowed them all. Huo Yuhao dragged Alexandra to the ground and ordered the Heaven Devouring Ink Serpent to deal with Alexandra''s remaining attacks. Struggling for thest time, Alexandra summoned her sisters mentally and ordered them to ambush Huo Yuhao. They would create an opening for Alexandra to regenerate her mouth and tongue. SWOOSH! The four youngdies appeared, surrounding Huo Yuhao with a t expression. ''GO!'' Alexandra groaned in pain. Her eyes squinted in hope. "Pathetic bitches..." Huo Yuhao grinned indifferently. "Kneel." "YES, MASTER~!!" The four youngdies kneeled on the ground and moaned happily, leaving Alexandra stunned. ''N-No. It can''t be!'' Alexandra couldn''t believe her eyes. Huo Yuhaoughed maliciously and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. All youngdies of the Admante Family except you have be my faithful ves. I had such a good time breaking and training them to this state." "Thanks for sending Harmonia and Triana a week ago, making my goals easier." "It''s quite nice scenery, right?" He forced Alexandra''s eyes too wide open to see her sisters kneeling on the ground shamefully, exposing their rears to the world. ''No! I''m the goddess of this world!'' ''I always win!'' ''I can still win if my Devil Force is activated-!'' "No, you can''t." Huo Yuhao choked Alexandra''s neck. "Let me show you the power of my Devil Force, Alexandra~!" "Forced Plundering." [You have stolen "Illusionary Manifestation." from Alexandra von Admante] [Random Devil Force assigned to Alexandra von Admante] [Alexandra von Admante has epted the "Ultimate Breeding Vessel." Devil Force] "AAAAH!" Alexandra moaned, trembling on the ground. Huo Yuhao smiled because Forced Plundering is a double-edged ability that allows him to steal someone''s Devil Force andpensate with a new one. It''s Luck-Based Devil Force, giving his enemy a random Devil Force. Also, the plundered Devil Force will be defective after a certain amount of usage. If his enemy''s luck is 10-90% lower than his, they will obtain fairpensation like all the ves he had tamed. If his enemy''s luck is 91-100% lower than his, they will obtain a weaker Devil Force. Unfortunately, Alexandra''s luck is much lower than his Ex Rank Luck. Huo Yuhao expanded his senses and said, "Everything that urred because of "Illusionary Manifestation." after I met with Alexandra von Admante will return to normal, beside Alexandra herself." [1st Rule applied] [You have two more Rules left to use] [Please use them wisely, Host] "Well, I expected this much." Huo Yuhao epted Evo''s notification calmly. "It''s not that important now, though." "What is important right now is¡­ Alexandra~!" Huo Yuhao smiled at the eldest sister of Theomars. "Let''s have fun~!!" Chapter 163: The Last Slave~! Chapter 163: The Last ve~! --- Chapter 160.5 --- "What a nice day." Huo Yuhao smiled happily and yanked the leash on his hand, dragging the proud Alexandra von Admante to the front gate of the Admante Family. As if she were a threatened cat, Alexandra gave Huo Yuhao a fierce gaze, but he ignored it. She couldn''t utter a word because her mouth was "tightly." shut with a piece of bamboo from All-Transforming Ink. All Huo Yuhao wanted now was to punish this bitch into submission, fulfilling Theomars'' revenge andpleting the Quest. After that, he could talk with his family on the homeworld again. "Harmonia, Triana. Create a heaven and earth barrier around the Admante Family Estate." He ordered the twins. "Mercy, kick all servants out." "And ra, warn everyone in Grodunberg City. Says that "Don''t disturb my fun." until I finished my business with Alexandra." "Return immediately when your assignments are over. I might reward you." He continued, causing the four youngdies'' faces to light up in excitement. "Yes, Master~!!" Giving Huo Yuhao a bow, four of them disappeared from the area. Huo Yuhao pulled the chain connected to Alexandra''s leash and forced her eyes to stare at his. "Now we have some time together, Sister Alexandra." "I''ve been waiting for this..." Entering the Admante Family Mansion, Huo Yuhao went to the dungeon below it and threw Alexandra onto the hard bed. He threw his coat away and began to pull out several vials, cing them on the table. ''What are those?'' Alexandra frowned, knowing she would get tortured soon. ''Poison?'' "No, It''s not poison. You see, I canbine several medicinal herbs and create potent drugs." Huo Yuhao suddenly said while mixing several vials into one bowl. "My expertise usually won''t be used for such a petty thing, but..." "No one would stop me here." He finished the drug, allowing Alexandra to see the pink-colored liquid. It screamed aphrodisiac by appearance alone, which left Alexandra at a loss. Huo Yuhao summoned the All-Transforming Ink, creating a needle to pierce Alexandra''s fair skin. She groaned in surprise because such a thing won''t work for her. She possessed resistance against substances like this. Oh boy, how wrong she was. "Ahp-!" Alexandra''s eyes widened in shock. Her body felt extremely hot, making every part of her into erogenous zones. One touch. Just one touch is probably enough to make her cum. Activating his Ink Domain, Huo Yuhao disabled Alexandra''s three senses and left her sense of touch and hearing alone. He grasped Alexandra''s shoulder gently and made her tremble. "Alexandra, do you know about Ancient Ink Devil?" He suddenly whispered, which made the woman in question frown. Even though Alexandra wanted to reply, she couldn''t. ''Don''t tell me...'' Alexandra finally realized the reason behind her brother''s drastic changes. '' Ancient Ink Devil. It exined everything. "AHHN~!" A moan suddenly escaped Alexandra''s mouth as Huo Yuhao bit her ear. She gasped in surprise, whimpering in unexpected pleasure. It''s painful. It''s painful but felt so good. "Does it feel good?" He asked yfully. "You wanted more?" "N-!!" Alexandra frantically shook her body. Huo Yuhao''s hand slowly rubbed Alexandra''s nape, moving down to her smooth back. It stimted her beyond belief and awakened something in this pitch-ck darkness. His finger reached down to her bra, unsping the hook one after another. The feeling of fabric rubbing against her nipple makes Alexandra''s breathing heavier. "Fiuuh." "Hgnn~!" Alexandra''s pussy became wetter when feeling the blowing wind in her ears. She couldn''t hold it anymore and shamefully cummed again. "That would be twice now." Hemented on her state. "Aren''t you ashamed, Alexandra?" "You orgasmed because someone blew air into your ear." "Pfft, even Mercy wasn''t so easy." "GRR!!" Alexandra growled furiously. Huo Yuhao grinned and lowered his hand, rubbing the soft gap between Alexandra''s panties and butt. Her face flustered as she tried to endure his touches. She was no different than a powerless woman because Huo Yuhao sealed her Devil Source with All-Transforming Ink, preventing her from essing inner energy. "MM~!" "MMM~!!" Drool ising from Alexandra''s lips. It was too much for her. This sensitivity is too much. Her will is powerful. She had cultivated her will for 27 years old. ''Something like this.'' ''S-Something like this won''t make me..!'' ''S-Something like-! I''m cumming~!'' Alexandra released a muffled moan and orgasmed for the third time. "AAHH~!!" Ripping the panties apart, Huo Yuhao grabbed Alexandra''s ass and felt the softness of it. He was amazed such a woman could be a viiness, but that was understandable with such a lustful body. PA! He pped the ass, watching it jiggle for sure. "HHNN~!!" "For a tough woman, you have quite a soft ass." Hemented, making her squirm even more. Alexandra breathed deeply and thought, ''H-He make me cum again. T-Theo makes me cum again...'' ''I can''t believe it. Theo is supposed to be my toy.'' "HIIEEK~!" Alexandra sensed the touch on her crotch. He fingered her pussy vigorously and caused the juice toe out quickly. She rolled her eyes in pleasure, squirting again. "AAHhh..." "Haa..." "Five times. Don''t worry, we just started." Huo Yuhao chuckled coldly. "The more my drugs flowed in your vein, the hornier you got. It merged perfectly with one''s body and blood, heating up in response to physical trauma." "That''s why." Huo Yuhao pinched the inner wall of Alexandra''s pussy, making her whole body arced like a bow. She couldn''t even gasp and passed out from pain(pleasure). ... ... Alexandra slowly opened her eyes again, feeling a light lingering around her face. She groaned for a moment and watched her sister Mercedes bouncing on Huo Yuhao''s massive cock. Mercedes''s breasts are bouncing, having the nipple erect like a diamond. She involuntarily gulped nervously because of it. She has never seen such a long and girthy penis. "AHHN~!" "Master, your cock is so good." "It''s filling up my slutty cunt~! Oh, YESSS~!!" Alexandra has also never seen Mercedes act so vulgar. ''What''s this feeling.'' She looked at the meaty rod prating her sister''s wet hole. She suddenly felt this weird sense of loss and jealousy in her chest. Alexandra''s hands are tied, so touching herself is out of option. "Master, I''m cumming~!" "I''m CUMMING!" Mercedes moaned like a whore, nting the dick deep in her pussy. She cummed and sprayed her squirt over Alexandra''s face. Alexandra stared in disbelief, sniffing the musky smell of her sister. It makes her hotter. "Aww, do you want to try it too?" Huo Yuhao pulled his dick from Mercedes''s pussy, letting his cum flow from the steaming hole. Alexandra looked at the meaty monster with amazement, noticing the fine coating of cum and juice on its shaft. "Nod if you want to try. Of course, bow to me first." Huo Yuhao gave her a smug look. Alexandra clenched her hand tightly and wouldn''t fall into an obvious trick. She gritted her teeth and returned with a firm gaze. "I see... Too bad then." Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and summoned ra this time. "Woof~!" ra excitedly crawled on four. She surrounded Huo Yuhao like a dog and rubbed her face against his dick. She was naked, wearing nothing but a dog''s ears essory, an animal choker, and a buttplug tail. "Sit." Huo Yuhao ordered casually. ra sat down submissively and exposed her wet cunt, dripping with translucent liquid, to Huo Yuhao. "Suck." Hemanded again. ra grinned happily and started licking Huo Yuhao''s balls, giving them a clean service. She sniffed the manly scent and giggled, Moving through the shaft, ra cleaned the cum and Mercedes''s pussy juice. She arrived at the tip and kissed the hole with a loving gaze, opening her mouth slowly. SLURP! ra sucked the cum left, coating her mouth with it. She began to swallow Huo Yuhao''s cock and gagged for a moment before continuing to half. She bobbed her head slowly and tried to give Huo Yuhao maximum pleasure. Twirling the tongue inside, ra skillfully gave Huo Yuhao a sloppy blowjob and sometimes nced at him. She saw his satisfied expression and hummed pleasantly. ''I can do better~! I can be a good girl for my master~!!'' ra thought while moving on, swallowing the whole monster into her throat. She could feel the cock pulsating inside. After a few minutes, ra buried her nose in Huo Yuhao''s crotch and felt the pubic hair tickle her skin. The scent is even wilder here, enough to make her pass out in the past. "Good girl." Huo Yuhao grabbed ra''s head, cumming into her throat. ra fell into euphoria and ignored Alexandra''s disbelief look on the side. The leader of Admante''s Family bes more confused and horny simultaneously. ra pouted her pinky lips, downing the thick semen from her beloved master. She rested for a few seconds before pulling her head and releasing the meaty rod. Plop! Huff! ra breathed in and asked, "Am I a good girl, master?" "ra is a good girl, right??" "Yes, you are." Huo Yuhao smiled and patted ra''s head, making her squeal. "Now... Turn around and face our eldest sister." "Show her how good it was to be fucked by me, ra." "Yes, master~!" ra turned around, kneeling on all fours. She lifted her ass and allowed easy ess to her pussy. Facing Alexandra, ra opened her mouth and said, "Sister, are you horny?" "Seeing me sucking the master''s cock turn you on?" "It turned you on, right?" "Just be honest, sister~! Mm~!" Huo Yuhao shoved his dick inside, making ra groan. "It feels good, elder sister. This thick, long, veiny cock is splitting me in half~!" ra provoked Alexandra, noticing the moistness of Alexandra''s thighs. Something is dripping between these toned thighs. "Sister, you must be jealous, Hehe~!" "What a shame you would never get fucked like me! NEVER WITH THAT BITCHY ATTITUDE OF YOURS!" ra''s inner pussy wrapped Huo Yuhao''s dick, giving him unexpected ecstasy. He smiled and pounded her pussy with more force, making her face scrunch in surprise. "Woof! SO GOOD~!!" "MY PUSSY! MY PUSSY IS BREAKING APART!" Alexandra hissed and looked at the scenery before her eyes with feverish heat. She couldn''t move her eyes from them, watching Huo Yuhao pound the living shit out of ra. Weirdly, ra enjoyed the rough treatment and blushed like this was her greatest joy. She moaned and kept pestering Alexandra on how nice the sex between her and her master was. Alexandra moaned and imagined Huo Yuhao''s cock prating her needy vagina, struggling to keep herself from this temptation. ''I-I can''t... I can''t give in.'' She firmly thought. ''Alexandra, you''re strong.'' ''You''re not a Sow.'' She stared at ra, who got fucked like an animal. ''Yes, a sow...'' Alexandra suddenly felt a tight grip on her heart. The renewed Devil Force of hers activated by itself. Alexandra''s "Devil Force: Ultimate Breeding Vessel."pels her to get filled with powerful seeds. Her reasoning doesn''t matter because this Devil Force''s influence is absolute, but let''s see how much she could resist. "I-I''M CUMMMMIN~!!!" ra was lifted by Huo Yuhao, making her pussy face Alexandra. She orgasmed hard and sprayed her eldest sister with her cums. "MMMM~!!" "Sister, it feels so good." "Oh?" She parted Alexandra''s thighs and saw the wet pussy. "PFFT! Someone is horny." "Master. Please look at this." "Look at how shameful this bitch is!" Alexandra''s face reddened, but she couldn''t do anything. She could only ept this mockery because ra wasn''t under her influence. "I know, pet." Huo Yuhao pped ra''s ass. "However, she must suffer more... Not just pain, but also unsatisfied pleasure." "I''ll tease the fuck out of Alexandra by fucking each of you before her very own eyes." Huo Yuhao pushed ra''s off his cock, showing the mighty rod to Alexandra. "I offered you once, Alexandra." "You refused, and it would stay that way until I''m satisfied." ... ... Alexandra bounded into a solid chair, having vibrator dildos in her ass and pussy. There are several vibrators eggs pasted on her nipples and several erogenous zones. Her mouth was gagged with panties-soaked cum, filling her nose with Huo Yuhao''s pheromone. However, that wasn''t the important part. Alexandra''s eyes and attention are "deeply." focused on Huo Yuhao, who sits on a throne before her. He was serviced by Harmonia and Triana, getting his dick and balls pampered like heavenly treasures. Jealousy. Alexandra had never felt so jealous in her life. That thing. That majestic cock. She wanted to get a taste of it too. ''Why are you two hogging all the fun?! THEO IS MINE! MINE!!'' Alexandra cried while cumming out of the dildo''s vibration. It was the nieth time of the day. Triana lifted herself above the ground and spread her ass open for Huo Yuhao, giving Alexandra a small smile. She dropped herself onto Huo Yuhao''s cock and groaned in pleasure, moving up and down continuously. Her ass is forced open by Huo Yuhao, causing Alexandra to gulp her saliva nervously. ''S-She forced such a thing into her butthole.'' Alexandra was speechless. ''I-I wonder how it feels.'' Harmonia kissed Huo Yuhao and licked his chest, rubbing her pussy on his thigh. "Mm." She mumbled something into her master''s ears. Huo Yuhao grinned and increased the intensity of Alexandra''s vibrator, making her squirm. He ordered Triana to turn around and let Alexandra see her current expressions. Seeing the blissful expression of Triana, Alexandra suddenly shook her entire body. "MhE! I WANZ! FCK MWE!" Huo Yuhao grasped Triana''s ass, pulling down and fucking it throughly to torture Alexandra. "MASTER, MY ASS!" "FEELS SO GOOD~!!" "YOUR COCK! YOUR COCK IS AMAZING." "MORE~! MORE!!" "I CAN''T GET ENOUGH OF IT~!!!" Triana bounced for several minutes, but those minutes felt like a day for Alexandra. The younger twin moaned with a high-pitched voice and slumped on Huo Yuhao, cumming hard. Harmonia pulled Triana away and cleaned Huo Yuhao''s cock, preparing herself to get impaled by it too. She could feel her twin''s taste on it and smile. "Sister Alexandra~! Watch Monia, okay~?" She gives Alexandra a peace sign. Standing on the edge of the throne, Harmonia slowly inserted Huo Yuhao monster''s cock into her pussy and watched Alexandra''s suffering with the biggest smile possible. "NPP!!" Alexandra gave Harmonia a dead stare, but the older twin didn''t care. "And down~!" Harmonia evilly said, sheathing Huo Yuhao''s cock fully with her pussy. Alexandra witnessed the bulge on Harmonia''s crotch and prayed to her to stop this act. Falling into despair, Alexandra could only watch her younger sister fucking Huo Yuhao''s cock. She cried in agony and cummed again. "AHN~! SO NICE!" "MASTER''S COCK IS THROBBING IN MY WOMB." "I COULD FEEL EVERY VEIN THERE." "UH! AHN!" Harmonia grunted, feeling her life wasplete with Huo Yuhao''s cock. She teasingly smiled at Alexandra and gave Huo Yuhao a series of kisses to make the eldest sister jealous. Alexandra would envy her to death. Alexandra wished she was in Harmonia''s ce now, but that won''t happen. Hearing the meat-pounding and water sshes noises, Alexandra was on the verge of breaking. "What''s the matter, sister?" Mercedes suddenly appeared from behind Alexandra. "Why are you crying?" She grinned andmented, "Don''t tell me... You hoped master to fuck you too?" "That''s so funny." "Well, I can give you some advice." "You know what, let''s ra tell you." ra appeared and threw several trophies and achievements Alexandra got in her whole life. A statue, treasure, and her top-student certificates, including Admante Family''s Head Order to the ground. "Abandon all of this. Oh yeah, your pride too." ra said while smiling at Alexandra. "I ce it near enough for your squirt to reach it." "All you need is to cum over them." "Easy, right? And then you have to beg like a bitch, and wish the master gives you a chance." "Do it, Alexandra." Huo Yuhao''s voice echoed in the world. Alexandra stared down at her favorite dress on the floor. Her favorite novels. Her favorite statue. And several other things. Admante Family''s Head Badge, her rightful position. ''Should I abandon these for my lust?'' "I-I-I''M CUMMING~!!!" Harmonia''s voice entered Alexandra''s ears. Alexandra raised her eyes and saw Harmonia squirting with an expression filled with joy. ''I want that.'' ''These means nothing.'' ''I want to be fucked too. Fuck these worthless things!'' Alexandra grunted and tried her best to cum, rubbing her ass against the chair. She scratched her skin, but she didn''t care. Desperately wanting to cum, Alexandra stared at Huo Yuhao''s cock buried in Harmonia''s snatch. She imagined herself in Harmonia''s position and finally achieved orgasm. "MM CMMNN!!" Alexandra let out a relieved moan and cummed hard. However, the squirting doesn''t even reach the items on the floor. "Eh?" Her eyes widened in shock. "HAHAHA~!" Several waves ofughter echoed in the Ink World. "That was so funny~!" Mercedes and ra stood before Alexandra, staring at their foolish eldest sister. "Do you think it would be that easy?" "Sike, Master ordered us to increase the distance because you were masturbating for too long." "Jeez, can''t you cum faster? Master is very disappointed." ra added with a sigh. At this moment, Alexandra realized this was aplete hell. ... ... One yearter, Alexandra emotionlessly stared at the floor with a puddle of juice around her. It was almost like a pond. Huo Yuhao and her four sisters tortured her, cucking her mercilessly. Alexandra is no more. She''s a mere squirter whore now. Her goal is to cum all over her past and beg for mercy. A ck-haired young man stood before her. He looked down at her and smiled in satisfaction. "Alexandra." He called her name. "Have you learned your ce?" Alexandra opened her mouth and replied, "Yes, I have..." "Do you want to be fucked?" "Can I?" "Yes, You can." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "Just one easy mission for it." He lifted a bag filled with all her possessions and continued, "Cum." Alexandra''s eyes widened as she immediately triggered her bowel movement, aiming at the bag with such precision. "I-I''m cumming." She squirted on the bag, gaining a proud p from her sisters. "Ah, you finally get it!" Mercy appeared out of nowhere. "Congrattions, Sister," ra said, pping her hand. Harmonia smiled andmented, "Yes, that''s it. The eldest sister, you''re so cool." "Mm, you''re so cool," Triana addedstly. They stared at each other with a grin and dered, "Hehe, Eldest Sister. You''re such a whore." Huo Yuhao turned off Alexandra''s restriction and released her from the chain, allowing the broken woman to be free. She aimlessly looked around and fell into the puddle of her cum. After all, it''s been one year since she sat on that chair. "You can go away now." Huo Yuhao said confidently. "I''ll even give the Illusionary Manifestation if you want." "You''re free, Alexandra von Admante." Alexandra trembled and kneeled on the ground, pushing her head against the puddle. "NO! PLEASE, NO!" "I BEG YOU!" "I BEG YOU, MASTER!" "PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR SLAVE. I''LL DO A GOOD JOB, I PROMISE." She ignored the awful stench of herself, waiting for Huo Yuhao to reply. She waited and waited. An unknown amount of time has passed. She could feel the puddle be dry, disappearing slowly. However, Alexandra knows. She couldn''t stop kneeling, or her master won''t give her mercy. "Alexandra, you''re a sow from now on. You have to give me pleasure and obey all my orders." Huo Yuhao finally replied. "Failure is not an option." "You fail once, and I''ll abandon you forever." "Do you understand?" "If you understand, raise your head." Alexandra cried in happiness and replied, "Yes, I understand." "Understand what?" "I understand that I''ll be your SOW, MASTER~!" "Good." Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and broke the Ink Domain, giving Alexandra ess to light again. They were still in the dungeon all along. He nced at the four sisters and ordered, "Clean her up." "I don''t want a dirty whore servicing me. My slutty sow is always clean, or she wouldn''t get rewarded." "Yes, Master~!" They dragged Alexandra away. ... ... Huo Yuhao chilled in the dungeon and stretched his body because spending time in the Ink Domain consumes quite a decent amount of energy. The state of the world is literally motionless, allowing him to manipte it at will. "Just a little more." He murmured, waiting for Alexandra. After five minutes, Alexandra walked into the dungeon with a see-through silk robe. She is a beautiful woman, staring at him nervously with those mystic eyes. Alexandra stopped one meter away from him and kneeled on the ground with a solemn look. "T-Then, this little sow will start servicing master." She said with such resolution, making Huo Yuhao smile. People wouldn''t believe this woman was Alexandra von Admante. They would think she was a beautiful but cheap prostitute on the side of the road. "Go on." Huo Yuhao replied casually. Alexandra crawled and mimicked ra''s method, approaching him with clear intention. She swayed her toned ass, trying to gain Huo Yuhao''s attention. Noticing hisck of reaction, Alexandra went for the big guy and opened Huo Yuhao''s zippers with her teeth. She gently pulled the zipper and saw something she had desired for so long. She gulped instinctively and saw theid monster. Yes, it''s not even hard yet, but her face split in half by the shadow. Alexandra began licking the shaft carefully and massaged the balls with her soft hand. She could feel the pleasant taste and scent linger on her tongue and nose. Working her way up, Alexandra sucked Huo Yuhao''s cock like a pro and gave him a masterful blowjob. Then, she suddenly stopped. "M-Master, Did I do a bad job?" She asked fearfully. "No, not really." Huo Yuhao replied while grabbing her head. Theomars'' hatred seems to die as time passes, but some resentment is still in his heart. "Let''s change the pace. I''ll change my persona a little." As Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, Theomars awakened before Alexandra''s eyes. The sweat and warm smile greeted her, which shocked Alexandra to the core. "Hmm, shall we start, Sister?" He said while pushing her head down. "M-Master-!" Alexandra was "abruptly." forced to swallow the whole cock into her mouth and gagged violently. She looked up and saw red eyes staring with warmth. A familiar warmth. The gagged slowly became morefortable and pleasurable. "Sister, I''m cumming." Alexandra''s eyes widened as a gush of semen flowed to her throat. She gulped and enjoyed the aftertaste. Theomars picked Alexandra up and ced her on hisp, caressing her snowy white hair. He seized her butt and spanked them up, making them red. "AHN~!" "AHHH~!" Alexandra moaned in pain and pleasure. "Sister, why did you do such a thing to me in the past?" "You''re such a bully... So, you deserved this kind of treatment, no?" "And that''s why you''d be a good-for-nothing sow-ve for me." His smile is like a thousand suns, triggering a sense of guilt in Alexandra''s heart. "Yes. I deserved this, master..." Alexandra moaned while feeling the smack on her ass. "I deserved to be treated like a lowly ve." "Hehe, good~!" Theomars fingered her pussy yfully. The hole became wetter every time he fingered her, but he didn''t stop for five minutes. The silk robe stuck to Alexandra''s skin and incorporated her sweat well. "Fuwa..." Alexandra let out a moan. Theomars kissed Alexandra on the forehead and kneaded her breast to increase the sensitivity further, causing the nipple to be erect like a diamond. He bit onto the nipple and made Alexandra cry in pain. ''I must endure this. It''s my sin. I must be master''s ve to repay my sin.'' Alexandra thought while getting manhandled by Theomars. Theomars threw his shirt away and pushed Alexandra to the bed. Licking his lips excitedly, he gently untied the panties Alexandra had worn and greeted the pink pussy with a lick. "Master?" Theomars shoved his dick into Alexandra and made her moan again. He lifted one of her legs, pumping the meaty rod deeper than before. "MMMM~!!" "This is~!!" "SO, THIS IS HOW IT FEELS~!!!" "IT... IT''S SO GOOD~! OOOH~!! I''M BECOMING NUMB AND DUMBER EVERY TIME MASTER KNOCKS ON MY BABY''S ROOM~!!!" She made a slutty face, which made Theomars pound her more. Theomars choked Alexandra''s neck and kissed her, seeing her expression filled with painful ecstasy. "I LOVE YOUR MASTER!" "I LOVE YOUR DICK MASTER~!!" "I''M DYING-!!!" Alexandra''s pussy clenched, locking Theomars'' cock in ce. They cummed simultaneously. Theomars didn''t stop and kept fucking Alexandra like the sow she was, not giving a single break for hours. Several days passed, and the dungeon was "continuously." filled with animal-like moans. "TAKE MY CUM, SISTER~!" Theomars buried his dick deep inside Alexandra''s pussy. All her holes have gotten filled to the brim. Her stomach is bloated like she was pregnant with nine babies. Alexandra''s expression is nothing like before. It was full of pain, pleasure, and enlightenment of her life from now on. Huo Yuhao sat on the bed and waited for Evo''s notification. [You have enved Alexandra von Admante] [You have finished the Quest] Chapter 164: A Brief Reunion Chapter 164: A Brief Reunion --- Chapter 161 --- "Finally." "Finally." Huo Yuhao excitedly stared at the system panel. [You have finished two quests] [Rewarding: 1x Random Item of All Grades, Beast King''s Core, A drop of Fairy Tree''s dew, Endless ck Ocean Art(S), and a chance tomunicate with the homeworld] "Master..." "Master..." "I''m sorry, it feels so good," Alexandra murmured in her sleep. Huo Yuhao nced at Alexandra and sighed in trouble. Summoning the other ves, he ordered them to check Alexandra''s body and give her a room to rest. Changing the environment, Huo Yuhao stopped at Admante''s Family Garden and sat in the flowers area. He tried to get himself together and even used Universal Breathing Technique to calm his excitement. [Do you want to use a chance tomunicate with your homeworld host?] Evo asked calmly. Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "I have been waiting for this, Evo. Of course." [Creating a stealth tunnel between two worlds] "Huh?" Huo Yuhao frowned when hearing that. [Connecting to the homeworld, currently Highschool DxD] [Ding! The tunnel could onlyst for an hour] Huo Yuhao''s eyes shut down as he sensed something coursing through his soul. It''s a weird sense of connection to a familiar ce. "Yuhao!" Tian Meng''s worried voice suddenly rang in his head. "S-Sister Daydream?" Huo Yuhao looked at the golden-haired woman in a white hoodie with a surprised look. He held an urge to cry and hugged her tightly. Tian Meng was caught off guard and smiled a little, hugging Huo Yuhao back. She patted his back gently and felt the awful mental state her host was currently in. Bing Di and Eluxia appeared shortly after, seeing Huo Yuhao broken from the prison. "He''s back!" The Ice Emperor approached Huo Yuhao. ''What''s this darkness?'' Eluxia frowned and squinted her eyes, observing Huo Yuhao''s soul. ''Huo Yuhao is influenced by something.'' "Bing Di, Teacher." Huo Yuhao freed himself from Tian Meng and went for a hug to other contracted souls. "T-This is..." Bing Di blushed because Huo Yuhao rarely do something like this. "Why are you hugging me so tightly? Did you miss the much??" "Yeah." Huo Yuhao pulled her cheeks a little. Eluxia epted the hug with ease and asked, "What happened to you, Yuhao? You were in aatose state for three months, and we couldn''t contact nor reach your soul for some reason." Hearing the question, Huo Yuhao released a weak chuckle and calmly replied, "I''ll keep it short because I have less than an hour before the tunnel gets cut off." Huo Yuhao briefly yet thoroughly exined everything that happened to him in the Titania Bolos and made the contracted souls frown, falling into an awkward silence. Especially Eluxia, who couldn''t believe such a world existed, but then Huo Yuhao proved her dimensional traveling was a thing. ''More so... A replication of a dimensional-destroying event? I don''t think it would be that simple.'' Eluxia was worried about Huo Yuhao''s well-being because his emotional state changed so much in just three months. Well, 16 months technically in the Titania Bolos. ''I''m afraid. And protecting a castle of all things, why such a ce? There is something hidden in this trial.'' Eluxia opened her mouth and said, "Yuhao, listen to me well." "I could feel darkness trying to get a hold of your soul. It''s both beneficial and horrible because you should never let yourself drown." "You may embrace this power, but never let it devour you." Huo Yuhao nodded and returned, "I know. I''ll keep your words in mind." "Well, I don''t have many times left to say goodbye." "So..." Eluxia''s eyes widened in shock because Huo Yuhao suddenly kissed her lips. She gasped for a moment, feeling the probing in her mouth. She grasped the back of Huo Yuhao''s head and let the young man passionately kiss her. It was short but worth it. Even though Huo Yuhao doesn''t say anything, his loving expression says it all. "How unfair." Eluxia scowled at him. Knowing what would happen next to them, Tian Meng and Bing Di prepared themselves. "Sister Daydream, please take care of me." Huo Yuhao said, making Tian Meng roll her eyes. "Hmph, for a scoundrel, you sure know how to tter someone." Tian Menh tip-toed and leaned on for a kiss, pushing her lips against Huo Yuhao''s. She is a virgin and has never kissed someone before. However, she had seen enough spicy moments through Huo Yuhao''s eyes and knew where and what to touch. "Mm, I never kissed a man before." Tian Meng slowly parted her lips from Huo Yuhao. "No one wants to kiss you before." Bing Dimented casually, rendering Tian Meng speechless. "..." Tian Meng. Tian Meng wanted to refute Bing Di''sments, but deep down knew she was a virgin for her whole life. "Damn you... If only you weren''t so hot." She mumbled to herself. "Technically, I''m cold as fuck. Don''t forget that I was the Ice Emperor. Anyway, It is My turn." Bing Di pushed Tian Meng away and seized Huo Yuhao''s lips like a majestic ruler. However, Huo Yuhao won''t back down so easily and dominate her tongue ys. Bing Di was taken aback and admitted Huo Yuhao was a worthy opponent. ''It''s not bad... Soothing and warm.'' Bing Di faked a cough and shamelessly said, "W-Well, we should do this more often when you are over with Titania Bolos." "Sure." Huo Yuhao patted Bing Di''s head. "YOU..." Tian Meng was annoyed with Bing Di and Huo Yuhao''s interactions. "Then, I''ll leave my Spiritual World to you three. And protect Helena from bad influence, teacher." Huo Yuhao gave them a content look, and Eluxia responded with a nod while holding a pink dragon egg in her embrace. Watching Huo Yuhao use the Spiritual Manifestation to the outside, Eluxia sighed andmented, "I hope he will be okay." "What are you talking about, Eluxia? Of course, Yuhao will be fine." Tian Meng crossed her hand. She nced at the dragon egg in Eluxia''s embrace and continued, "Thatd created miracles as easily as he breathes." "True, true." Bing Di nodded in agreement. Eluxia''s expression finally softened as she responded with, "Yeah." ... ... Huo Yuhao floated out of the realm that trapped him and nced at the material used with a frown. "All-Transforming Ink..." He pondered solemnly. "That''s not important now. I only have 46 minutes left." As he floated out, Huo Yuhao could see the floating ind had changed tremendously in just three months. It expanded three times in size and possessed a more assertive Primordial Rune Barrier than before. He expanded his Divine Senses to all realms, locating everyone''s location in just one minute. With overwhelming feelings in his heart, Huo Yuhao''s lips trembled. And he dered, "Everyone, I''m back." A thousand worried shouts echoed back to Huo Yuhao''s ears. He clenched his hand gently and created a Spiritual Room to gather everyone in one location as he didn''t have enough time to visit them singly. A bright blue-gold light exploded in the Underworld''s Sky, spreading and condensing into a sphere. Huo Yuhao stepped in and watched several Spiritual Manifestations appear. "Yuhao~!!" "Deshi~!!" "Hao''er!!" Huo Yuhao could feel the tightest hugs on his Spiritual Manifestation and saw three heads looking at him with tears. "Ying''er, Shishou, Mom." He let out a relieved sigh, hugging them with a heart-wrenching expression. Finally, he felt whole. They are his home. They are his peace. A peaceful Huo Yuhao longed for more than a year. "I miss you all." He caressed Huo Yun''er pinkish blonde hair. "We miss you too." Thedies responded, sounding like music in Huo Yuhao''s ears. He imagined these voices lingering in his head like a hallucination. However, this is no hallucination. It''s reality. "Idiot Deshi!" Scathach punched Huo Yuhao in the guts. "We know you''d be alright, but at least told us before entering something like a trial." She went for a kiss with tears, making Huo Yuhao feel sorry because he was indeed reckless when opening the quest reward: Random Ancient Devil Bloodline. Also, he doesn''t feel the slightest pain from Scathach''s punch. It was "clearly." filled with love and worries for him. Qianye Ying''er is sobbing on his chest, tearing up like a child. Even though Huo Yun''er told everyone Huo Yuhao would be fine three months ago, Qianye Ying''er notices Huo Yun''er doesn''t tell anyone theplete truth. What kind of ce is Huo Yuhao trapped in, nor does danger await him there? Huo Yun''er brushed them off from the truth, maintaining a confident smile. "I missed you, my lord." She whispered with such a longing. Putting it into perspective, Huo Yun''er has witnessed millions of timelines with her eyes. She had overseen Huo Yuhao''s death more than anyone in the Dragon Nest, but she believed in his ability. She believed in her beloved son. There is one in 223.009.692 chance Huo Yuhao will lose himself in the darkness "temporarily.". And It was also one of the most irregr timelines when Huo Yuhao realized the abnormality and returned to their sides safely. No way in hell Huo Yun''er could honestly speak about this to someone else. She couldn''t bring herself to tell weak-hearted women that Huo Yuhao might die. They''ll fall into despair and spread bad karma, causing a destructive reaction. ''I''m not a true god yet. I can''t breach into other realities without triggering other powerful beings. This World(Highschool DxD) is fine, but those cruel universes are beyond my realm.'' Huo Yun''er forced a smile, adding more force to her hug. "I''m okay. I''ll be back safely." Huo Yuhai lifted Huo Yun''er chin. "You don''t have to worry about my condition, mom." "All you have to do is to believe in me." "AHHHH~!!" Feeling the moistness in her eyes, Huo Yun''er finally cried and hugged Huo Yuhao like a ko. Everyone was speechless because Huo Yun''er always showed her yful and calcting side, but this. This is the real Huo Yun''er. Even though Huo Yun''er has be stronger beyond this realm''s standard, she is still a mother. Mothers worry for their children. Even in their dreams, a mother couldn''t help but think about it. That''s just one of many wonders of living as a mother. "I lost you once... I can''t lose you anymore, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er instinctively expressed, which made Huo Yuhao''s heart tighten for a second. "Mom, you..." Huo Yuhao looked down in shock. "Don''t tell me you..." "Shush." Huo Yun''er sealed his mouth with her lips. ''That wasn''t important right now. You''re still my beloved son, Hao''er.'' ''You didn''t abandon me back then when you could. Then I won''t abandon you for eternity as well. My goal is to live happily with my Hao''er, after all.'' Feeling the emotion from Huo Yun''er, Huo Yuhao could only wait for the answer in the future. After the not-so-pure kiss, thedies within the meeting room could only cough in jealousy. They knew the rtionship between Huo Yun''er and Huo Yuhao, but this was harder to see than expected. Especially for Gabriel, who adorably chewed on a napkin and was on the verge of crying as if Huo Yuhao had abandoned her. Huo Yun''er calmed herself and hugged Huo Yuhao''s left arm. "Maybe you should start exining, Hao''er. Thedies are dying for your story." She said, which made Huo Yuhaough in defeat. Huo Yuhao cleared his throat and stated, "I only have around 39 minutes left, so my exnation will be as short andpact as possible." "It started..." He told everyone about the Ancient Ink Devil''s trial without disclosing anything rted to Evo. He filtered the information enough for them to understand anything without asking for the second time. And 20 minutester, they stared at Huo Yuhao with teary eyes. "Yuhao-sama..." Grayfia rubbed her eyes. "I thought it was my fault." "No, it wasn''t. Fia." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. "Sometimes, my confidence soared through the roof. I felt invincible and expected others to meet my standard." "Standard that doesn''t fitmon sense..." "Sorry, Tiamat." He nced at the Chaos Karma Dragon. Tiamat hurriedly shook her head and replied, "W-Well, It''s embarrassing. I''m just too weakpared to those artificial devils. If we want to me something, I will me my weakness." The devil kings felt ashamed when hearing Tiamat''s statements because they unknowingly relied on Huo Yuhao''s influence the most when attacking the Realm of the Dead. They got influenced by Huo Yuhao''s confidence and believed the devil race would win without casualties. Even Sirzechs couldn''t see Huo Yuhao in the eyes proudly anymore. "Raikou-san... I promise to spend more time with you after this." Huo Yuhao firmly stared at the buxom-looking woman. Raikou smiled sweetly and replied, "I''ll be waiting..." Huo Yuhao spotted Nico Robin and said, "Sorry, Robin. I brought you to this realm without leaving a single message. Same as Raikou-san, I''ll pay you backter." Nico Robin put on aplicated face and answered, "No, everything is fine, Yuhao-sama." "Everyone treated me warmly here. The Dragon Nest provided me with more resources than I ever had in my homeworld." "You don''t owe me anything..." "I-I should be the one who owes you... Even with my body, I''ll try my best to pay it back." Huo Yuhao could only nod, making Robin smile somewhat sensually. "Father." Gabrial suddenly kneeled before Huo Yuhao. "Can you please give me a surname?" "Anything is alright." "Why?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback. Gabrial opened her mouth and replied, "I-I felt lonely... I wished to have something to remember and cherish about you. My martial soul won''t do it because it doesn''t have your essence ." "Then... I''ll grant "Edelweiss." as your surname." Huo Yuhao patted the beautiful angel''s head, causing Gabrial to purr in happiness. "Thank you, father~!" Gabriel couldn''t help but smile. Talking about purr, Kuroka jumped forward and said, "Yuhao-nyaa~!" "I know you wille back!" "Don''t worry about Shirone and me. We are fine and healthy." "Maybe we can make some kittens after your trial... Hehe~!" Everyone red at Kuroka with a stink gaze, but Nekoshou grinned smugly. Mi and Venna pulled Kuroka back to the crowd and greeted Huo Yuhao. "We congratte you on your return, Yuhao-sama." They said while bowing their heads. "Mm." Huo Yuhao exchanged a few words with the female bael, promising to spend more time with them. Ophis stood silently from afar, lowering her head. "Ophis." Huo Yuhao called the Ouroboros Dragon''s name. "Be a good girl and protect everyone for me, okay?" "I''ll give you a lot of candyter." Ophis''s eyes widened as she smiled and hurriedly hugged him, releasing a muffled cry. "Mm... I''m afraid Yuhao won''te back and leave me forever. I''ll be a good girl." She whispered to him. "Promise?" Her eyes locked on Huo Yuhao''s. "Promise." Huo Yuhao gently patted Ophis''s head. Huo Yuhao talked to everyone for fifteen minutes, telling each other stories andughing in silliness. He enjoyed everyst bit of this moment. [Sirzechs Lucifer Loyalty has increased] [Serafall Leviathan Loyalty has increased] [...] [...] [...] [Do you want to awaken their martial souls?] [Yes/No] "Yes." Huo Yuhao warned everyone about the martial soul''s awakening. After awakening the martial soul of the subordinate with high loyalty, Huo Yuhao told them farewell and stood before Grayfia Lucifuge. "Fia, do you remember my words not too long ago?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly. "Yes, Yuhao-sama," Grayfia recalled the promise and nodded, blushing a little. Huo Yuhao kissed Grayfia''s forehead and continued, "After my trial is over." "Let''s go on a date." Tearing up a little, Grayfia hugged Huo Yuhao and replied, "Yes, Let''s go on a date." "See youter, Fia~." Huo Yuhao slowly vanished from the meeting room, leaving Grayfia''s embrace. She clenched her fist and stared at the sky calmly. "Grayfia..." Huo Yun''er called the silver-haired maid''s name. "Yes, mistress?" Grayfia wiped the tears and responded. Huo Yun''er patted Grayfia''s shoulder and said with a grin, "Congrattions, you have passed my test." "EHH?!" Everyone was shocked. Even Scathach and Qianye Ying''er couldn''t believe it for a moment. It took them a few years to gain Huo Yun''er approval, but Grayfia did it less than a year. Impossible! "Please take care of my Hao''er." The foxy mistress winked, which left Grayfia speechless. Gaining herposure, Grayfia Lucifuge smiled merrily and answered, "Mm, I will." ... ... [Disconnecting the tunnel] [Bringing the host back to the Titania Bolos] Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw the flower garden with a calm look on his face. [Do you feel better, host?] Evo asked monotonously. "Yeah. 100%." Huo Yuhao replied with a grin. "Nothing will stop me from finishing this Emergency Quest anymore." Chapter 165: 2nd Emperors Dying Message Chapter 165: 2nd Emperor''s Dying Message --- Chapter 162 --- [Rewards: 1x Random Item of All Grades, Beast King''s Core, A drop of Fairy Tree''s dew, Endless ck Ocean Art(S)] [Do you want to pull the random item?] [Yes/No] "No, not yet. This quest''s reward is too valuable to be opened here." "Such a waste." Huo Yuhao decided to keep the reward unopened. Moving his gaze to other rewards, Huo Yuhao checked their descriptions one by one.

The content of Endless ck Ocean Art blew his mind in amazement, causing him to smile weakly. "Soul is the origin of everything." "Soul is the basis of everything." "Everything shall return to Soul Land, enemy or not." "Soul Land, Endless ck Ocean that led everything to the source of the universe." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and felt something growing in his chest, heating rapidly.

Huo Yuhao was speechless. "What a bountiful harvest I have..." "Well, better be lucky than none at all." "I''ll save the Beast King''s Core forter. This body couldn''t handle too many upgrades at one time." Huo Yuhao yawned and opened his eyes slowly, seeing the sunrise appear from the garden. He was bathed in the warm rays and breathed using Universal Breathing Technique to stabilize his energy. Three energies are swirling within him now. Inner Energy. Spiritual(Mental) Energy. Soul Energy. "Open status."

Huo Yuhao said while meditating. [Objective: 2.074.269.013/100.000.000.001] "2%, huh?" "I was hoping the number went up drastically after decimating those monster nests." "Well, I can''tin." "The monster race is simply reproducing too much." "Horny motherfuckers..." Huo Yuhao sighed and stopped regting his Greater Inner Energy. "At this moment, Sister Daydream would call out my hypocrisy." "Haa... I missed them already." pping himself on the face, Huo Yuhao was motivated to finish this joke of a quest quickly. He was "somewhat." swayed by Theomars'' feelings and hatred toward his sisters for a while, but everything is okay now. "Mercy." He called the 2nd sister. "Yes, master~?" Mercy appeared with a smile on her face. Now Huo Yuhao looked at her a little bit closer. Mercedes does look like Florence Nightingale. Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "Call everyone here except Alexandra. Let her rest." Mercedes nodded and rang a bell, causing three shadows to approach the garden at light speed. A few secondster, The other loyal ves of Huo Yuhao arrived at the flower area and lined up beside Mercedes. ''These are...'' Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. Now even ra, Harmonia, and Triana look like characters he has known in his previous life. ra is awkwardly simr to Miyako Shikimori. And even the twins Harmonia and Triana look like Shiranui re. Having this revtion, Huo Yuhao frowned because Theomars'' memory made him not question these simrities. He sighed as the hatred of the abused young man blinded his perception. "Anyway... I''m calling you here to issue something. Titania Bolos will soon experience a full-blown attack from the monster race." Mercy tilted her head and raised her hand. She asked permission to ask the question, which Huo Yuhao approved immediately. "What do you mean, master?" Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and exined, "This is just my raw guess, but all the monster waves and nests spreading across the continent is nothing but Reconnaissance. If I have to assume the worst, the monster race wants to gauge our strength." "And bring down the ck Pearl Castle." "ck Pearl Castle..." Thedies from Admante Family mumbled to themselves. "ck Pearl Castle isn''t just a mere castle. It has many secrets I hadn''t uncovered, causing it to get swarmed with monster waves constantly. You didn''t know about this, but I have killed over a billion monsters in the past sixteen months." Huo Yuhao said with a sneer. "Yes, sixteen months of constant life and death battle." Silence ensued in the flower field. Even the constantly-in-heat ra blinked her eyes surprisingly when hearing her master''s story. "Then... What should we do, master?" She asked with her somewhat calm demeanor. "Gather all strong people and start nning for the counterattack." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "I don''t know how much time we have left, but make it quick." "Let''s start from the Karuta Empire first. The current Empress and Narmos''s Family Head still have their uses." Mercy''s expression changed slightly, but Huo Yuhao noticed it. "What''s wrong?" Huo Yuhao questioned with a frown. "About the Empress and Narmos''s Family Head... They are actually at the front gate." Mercy answered hesitantly. "After your fight with Alexandra, they kept asking for any information rted to you." "Of course, in a peaceful manner. 10th ss Devil Warrior is not a joking matter, after all." "My liege." Rosa''s head peeked out from Huo Yuhao''s shadow. "When you were fighting with Alexandra, my sister requested a meeting with you." "You can reject." "No, let them in." Huo Yuhao responded while contacting the clone in ck Pearl Castle. "Very well, I''ll inform them." Mercy and Rosa said simultaneously, making the first ve and shadow female frown at each other. ... ... Huo Yuhao sat in the garden and stared at Lily de Kemos and Aiden Narmos. He opened his mouth and said, "Let''s not beat the bush around and go straight to the point." He picked up the Karuta Empire''s 2nd Emperor''s lost badge on the rock table and made the two leaders'' eyes widen in surprise. He injected his inner energy and triggered the rey function. A dying figure of a man appeared before them. His entire body is glowing with dim golden light. "Great Grandfather..." Lily was speechless. "How??" Even Aiden Narmos couldn''t believe his eyes for a moment because the 2nd Emperor of the Karuta Empire disappeared without notice years ago. He didn''t leave anything, but his descendants kept the Karuta Empire running well. "To people of the future... My name is Croal de Kemos, the 2nd Emperor of the Karuta Empire. This badge recorded my dying message and will for anyone who finds it to share this information with my descendant." "I was ambushed by the monster race when trying to find their root." "The monster race has opened the space crack on the Grand Marshal Mountain. It''s small, but they can make it bigger and bigger each day." "I don''t have much time left... No, We don''t have much time left." "I-I... Blerg! I have located the monster race''s main army and weaknesses" The man coughed a mouthful of blood. "Deep inside the crack, there are over a hundred 11th-ss Monsters. Yes, you heard that correctly." "They possessed the strength of an Ancient Monster on their sides." "Our only way for us to win is the noble blood." "The heir of Valstrax. The owner of Ancient Ink Devil Bloodline." "The legendary noble blood should be able to seal the crack." "Please... Please find the noble blood, or I''m afraid Titania Bolos wouldn''t exist anymore..." "If I can be selfish... Please tell my wife my apology and the news I can''t return with the anniversary gift. We recently just got married and have a child, haha. I hope she isn''t mad at me in the Overworld(Kroman''s Heaven)." "I love you, Jennifer..." The message ended with a weak smile on Kroal de Kemos''s pale face. Lily de Kemos cried a little and held herself from making a scene. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and remembered the sadness of herte Great Grandmother, hoping for her husband''s return. Meanwhile, Aiden Normas solemnly stared at the badge. "Noble Blood." He mumbled with a frustrated groan. "Where the hell are we supposed to find that person?" "Even though the Admante Family is known for being Ink Devils, Ancient Ink Devils are a different matter. Its existence stood above all of us." "We should search-!" He was about to propose a n, but something suddenly dropped on the table. "You don''t have to." Huo Yuhao activated the All-Transforming Ink, making ink drip from his finger. "..." Lily de Kemos. "..." Aiden Narmos. Huo Yuhao smiled and continued, "What a fucking coincidence, isn''t it?" Rosa chuckled when seeing her sister''s expression and looked at Huo Yuhao with brighter eyes. ''As expected of my eternal master.'' The shadow woman thought to herself. "Noble Blood... Ancient Ink Devil." Lily stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. "No wonder he could defeat Alexandra." Aiden Narmosmented. Brushing their dumbfounded expressions, Huo Yuhao exined the possible aggressive attack from the monster race and told the two leaders to contact other empires before it was toote. He also told Lily and Aiden to fortify Grodunberg''s defense as quickly as possible. He couldn''t stay here for too long. "Follow my ns if you want to survive." "Monsters aren''t smart, but they aren''t idiots either." "Always cautious and be alerted about your surroundings." Huo Yuhao walked away, leaving the two leaders in deep contemtion. "W-Wait... What about my sister?" Lily suddenly shouted, which halted Huo Yuhao''s steps. Huo Yuhao sighed and grabbed Terresa''s corpse from the inventory,ying it down gently on the ground. Lily couldn''t handle her emotion anymore and ran for the lifeless body. "Terresa!" She cried while hugging Terresa''s body. "She died after fighting a monster out of her league. When I arrived at the location, she had already passed away." Huo Yuhaomented calmly. Lily sobbed and recalled the incident a few days ago, "What about that woman who protected me with her barrier... Who is she?" "Rosa, talk to her." Huo Yuhao ordered the shadow, who had been waiting for her summons. "Okay, master~!" Rosa dragged Lily into the shadows and disappeared from the garden. Aiden''s eyes widened as he asked, "Oh, noble one... Do you know about my son''s situation? Gale joined the journey with Crown Princess 16 months ago, and I''ve never heard anything about him since." "He passed away. Monster Race used his body as a catalyst to create more monsters. He was beyond help, but you can find his trace in Hormes Mountain." Huo Yuhao answered while walking away. Aiden clenched his hand and whispered sadly, "I see..." "Thank you for telling me." "It''s nothing special. As Gale''s father, you had the right to know this." Huo Yuhao vanished from the garden. "Mom probably has the same worries as him." He reappeared on the top of the clock tower inside the Admante Family Residence. Looking afar to the horizon, heughed in defeat and continued, "Damn, I miss her food." Chapter 166: Alexandras Mysterious 2nd Personality Chapter 166: Alexandra''s Mysterious 2nd Personality --- Chapter 163 --- A few months have passed in Titania Bolos. The Karuta Empire has issued their 2nd Emperor''s dying message to other empires, warning them about the Monster Race''s iing attacks. Some decided to ally with the Karuta Empire, and some tantly refused to believe Lily de Kemos for spreading such information. However, these people immediately shut down when experiencing monster waves with peak 9th ss Monsters. If 9th ss Monsters could put them in trouble, what about 11th ss Monsters that transcendedmon boundaries? Complete Annihtion and Submission. After getting destroyed, the Anti-Karuta Faction begged to enter the alliance with shattered pride. If Lily de Kemos wasn''t so kind, they wouldn''t be able to join the coalition and wait for the monster race to wipe them out. Titania Bolos is a star where power talks more than words. Experiencing life-and-death situations is a daily urrence here, but the monster race attack pumped the death rate to unimaginable numbers. Millions died in a mere day. You better have insane luck to live in this world. ... ... On a wide yet vast in, the alliance base stood firmly with tall walls surrounding it. This ce was "quickly." built, so anyone could ess every part of the continent with ease and counter monster waves as fast as possible without dragging the battle for too long. It''s also not too far from the ck Pearl Castle, so Huo Yuhao could return anytime he wanted. And with this alliance base, He doesn''t have to waste time gathering information. Rosa is watching the training ground from the outlook post, staring down at Huo Yuhao. He was "rigidly." surrounded by over forty 9th-ss Devil Warriors from across the continent. "Here we go again... My liege was beating the shit out of them for more than three months to increase their cultivation. Yet, only some gained enlightenment and tapped into the 10th ss Devil Warrior Realm." "Shame. Truly a shame." "You''rementing like 9th ss Devil Warriors are weak. They don''t grow like grass, you know." Lily de Kemos jumped to the tower, giving Rosa a funny look. After some exnation, the royal sisters reunite but have an awkward rtionship as Rosa doesn''t really see Lily as intimate anymore. Lily is still her sister, but Rosa prioritizes her master above anything else. Lily is okay with it, knowing Huo Yuhao gave her sister a second chance to live in this world. It''s unorthodox, but who cares. Lily still counts this as a kind act. "Oh, we are talking about grass now? My liege could literally make his shadow army grow their strengths to 9th ss like watering down grass with a pot." Rosa grinned, which left Lily awestruck. Lily shook her head in defeat and returned, "Whatever, at least his shadow army is on our side." She moved her gaze to the training ground and replied, "I hope we can get a few more 10th-ss Devil Warriors to defend against the monster waves. Aih, my hope is too high." Huo Yuhao breathed in, rxing in the sight of strong devil warriors. Unlike the ck Pearl Castle''s guards, these people are strong and masters of devil art. They are leaders and frontiersperson in their country, polishing their skills to the highest height possible. Dirty tricks won''t work. Baiting them also won''t be so easy. However, they are also on the weaker side of martial art mastery. ''Attack and adapt. Evolve as you face your enemy.'' Scathach''s voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s head. Swoosh! An intense breeze came toward Huo Yuhao''s head. Huo Yuhao dodged and tapped the attacker on the shoulder, using the Flowing Waves: Sphere to deflect all iing strikes. He ducked down and stomped the ground, generating a shockwave that washed everyone near him away. Kicking the ground, Huo Yuhao elerated forward and kicked the rubble into pieces. It distracted and covered his enemy''s field vision because Armament Haki covered these pebbles, creating a confusing array of Spiritual Energy. BAM! Huo Yuhao''s silhouette danced and eliminated the nearest person with a clear punch in the rib. "Got you." A giggle from a woman appeared from behind him. Huo Yuhao''s left legshed like a whip and mmed the woman''s face with no mercy. He sent the poordy away and secured a distance, observing the rest of the fighters. "Don''t talk when trying to catch your enemy off guard. You''ll be a poor assassin and die before even killing your target." Hemented indifferently. "You guys are 9th ss Devil Warriors... However, I noticed something simr about all of you." "You used the Devil Force too much. Stop relying on Devil Force unless you really need it.." "And Use your Inner Energy more... That''s the fucking basis of Devil Warrior''s strength." Hearing Huo Yuhao''sments, some 9th-ss Devil Warriors coughed in shame because what he said was true. Devil Force is just too convenient in the devil race''s path to bing more powerful. It blinded their perception to reach a higher realm, like Alexandra, who solely believed her Devil Force was invincible until Huo Yuhao beat her. So many young kroman focused on reaching the 5th ss to awaken their Devil Force, unaware of the proper foundation to use their inner energy. It led to declining potentialter on, making them stuck forever in the 7th and 8th ss Realm. "I have said this many times, but I''ll keep repeating it... Strong is subjective. Even though results matter, your journey is what makes yours now." Huo Yuhao rushed forward with untraceable movement and traded blows with a solemn-looking man. His punches connected with the man''s staff strikes, quickly breaking the technique apart with a ripple-like sequence. BAM! "More." He eyed them with shining red eyes. BOOM! "More! Move your body!" "Stop moving like stick figures, god damn it!" "Oy, guard your shin, or I''ll make you nutless for eternity!" "For fuck sake, you dumb fools. Even the student in Dragon Nest has a better battle sense than you..." Huo Yuhao''s roars could be heard within 300 meters radius, shouting at the famous warriors on the continent like they were children in the yground. Yes, these masters of masters are nothing in front of God yer''s beloved student. No wonder the Monster Race, with a superior body and muscle brain, could overwhelm the devil race. It only takes one small opening and chances to kill someone stronger than you. Five hourster, Huo Yuhao breathed somewhat heavily and looked down at the group of 9th-ss Devil Warriors on the ground. They have several broken bones and internal organ failures because Huo Yuhao wanted to teach them some lessons. Well, their injuries aren''t fatal enough to cause death. However, painful enough to make them realize their weaknesses. They won''t make the same mistake again now. "At least you guys aren''t pushovers." Huo Yuhao listened to the painful groans on the ground. "Rest and review your ability once more tonight." He walked away and watched Mercedese with a towel and a water bottle. "Here, master~!" She faithfully handed the water and rubbed the sweat off his skin. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes because Mercedes and four others were trying to get on his good side. He doesn''t care much about them besides the extra firepower, as Theomars'' past had been avenged by him already. "Where is Alexandra?" Huo Yuhao asked and drank the water to quench his thirst. Even though he wasn''t hit by the devil warriors in training, dodging all of them still consumes his stamina. Mercy pouted and answered, "Like always, she''s warming your bed, master. Even though sister Alexandra is a 10th ss Devil Warrior, losing the Devil Force weakened her strength and function." "Not to mention Akexandra''s new Devil Force makes her constantly in heat more than ra, whose libido is higher than the twinsbined." "W-Well, it''s understandable for us... We can''t live without yours anymore." Mercy shamelessly looked down at Huo Yuhao''s crotch, licking her lips hungrily. Huo Yuhao was speechless. He forgot one of many annoying aspects of perverted people. First of all, they are determined to getid. He sighed and flicked Mercy''s forehead, "I''ll call you when I need to do dual cultivation. Go to your office and heal the people sent to the red zone." With Mercy''s new Devil Force, she was "immediately." appointed to be the leader of the healer group. Her ability to patch up life-threatening injuries like nothing is a blessing for the alliance. Meanwhile, other Admante Ladies were assigned to protect the alliance base until the monster wave resolved. Of course, Huo Yuhao''s order is still above the alliance''s needs. Even if the whole continent voted for help, they wouldn''t move until Huo Yuhao opened his mouth. Opening his bedroom, Huo Yuhao saw Alexandra and three otherdies of Admante lying on the bed soundlessly. As if they were sleeping, but he could clearly notice their acts. "Wake up. I don''t bring you here toze around." Huo Yuhao crossed his arm, having a stern expression on his face. "M-Master?" Alexandra innocently rubbed her eyes, brightening her expression upon seeing him. Who could have thought the cold and calcted head of the Admante Family would end up like this? ra peeked her head out of the nket, purringfortably. She doesn''t seem to want to move from her current position. Only Harmonia and Triana stare at Huo Yuhao with straight expressions. "ra, Harmonia, Triana leave... There is a mission for the three of you." Huo Yuhao said calmly. "Oh, mission~?" Harmonia was the first to say something. "Has the search team found the location of Grand Marshal Mountain already?" Huo Yuhao shook his head and answered, "No, your job is to visit Southern Fort and eliminate the monster waves there. Ten mid-9th ss monsters detected, which shouldn''t be a problem for you, ra." "As for Harmonia and Triana, I want you to secure the resources, such as rare minerals for creating armor and weapons. And medicinal herbs to supply more tonicter on." "I don''t want to take a chance in this situation. We would fight more than 97 billion monsterster, so having more supply is better than nothing." Huo Yuhao could have used thend within Jungle Dungeon, but he couldn''t let anyone know about it besides trusted people. The secrets between Terressa and her follower''s ambusher remain a mystery, which leads to his suspicion against other empires. One of many motives behind allying is to spot traitors of the devil race. Just like Dragon Nest, this ce needs some cleaning. "Hmm... Understandable." ra felt somewhat disappointed and jumped from the bed. She bowed to Huo Yuhao and left the room quickly. Harmonia and Triana stared at each other, sighing because this mission wouldn''t be exciting. They prefer to stay with Huo Yuhao for the whole day, but knowing their master''s personality. Aint would lead to harsh punishment. Like ra, they said Huo Yuhao a polite farewell and disappeared from the room. "See youter, master~!" Harmonia winked her eyes at him. Meanwhile, Triana only gives him a thirsty look before following her twin sister. The room soon fell into silence. In thest few months, Alexandra has acted like a good servant to Huo Yuhao and obeyed his order without hesitation. However, he wasn''t dumb enough not to realize something weird about this woman. Picking up a chair, Huo Yuhao sat near the bed and stared at Alexandra calmly without showing emotion. "What''s the matter, master~?" Alexandra tilted her head, asking sweetly. Huo Yuhao scoffed andmented, "Alexandra, you can stop acting now." "or should I call you the real dual personality of Alexandra?" "What are you talking about, master? The real dual personality? There is no such a thing-!" Alexandra smiled at Huo Yuhao like it was a silly question. "..." Huo Yuhao maintained a deadpan look. He didn''t say anything and kept staring at Alexandra, making her smile crumble with each second. After an hour of awkward silence, Alexandra''s smile was "slowly." reced with a defeated yet solemn look. "Did Titania tell you about me?" Alexandra finally opened her mouth. Her red "X" irised eyes have turned into a deep purple. "No, she doesn''t even bother to tutor me properly." Huo Yuhao returned indifferently. Alexandra giggled and nodded in agreement, "Sounds like her. Well, master~! Nice to meet you, I guess?" With an interested grin, the mysterious personality loosened her sleep robe to tease Huo Yuhao and added, "How did you know about the real dual personality, though? I''m sure that even Alexandra herself never finds out about me." "No, to be honest... No one in Titania Bolos could discover my presence." "Not even that pesky Titania..." "I don''t know." Huo Yuhao shrugged casually. "Even though I have plundered Alexandra''s Devil Force, her Devil Taboo is untouched." "As far as I am concerned, Devil Taboo is the first sign for the devil race to gain power exceeding the limit... Or in my dictionary known as the path toward Godhood." "Mine is rted to Devil Dragon God." "Alexandra, however..." "As you can see, you just confirmed my suspicion. "..." The mysterious personality was stunned. She began tough and heaved her chest in disbelief. "Hahaha~!" "As expected, you''re the best. You''re the best, master~!" "Then, have you guessed my identity~?" She coyly crawled toward Huo Yuhao. Feeling the anticipation from the woman, Huo Yuhao leaned on his chair and stared at the ceiling. "Alpha and Omega." Hemented with a guessing tone, making the mysterious woman''s smile widened in expectation. "Titania von Valstrax possessed the weakest rank in the Devil Race Ranking, indicating she was the end of the Ancient Devil Race." "After bantering with her for almost two years, I know she doesn''t have a person close to her besides one person... The pr opposite of her." "Or should I say, the beginning of the Ancient Devil Race? The highest of the highest ranking, the absolute ruler of all Kroman." "The Nox Emperor..." Chapter 167: The Nox Emperors Incarnation Chapter 167: The Nox Emperor''s Incarnation --- Chapter 164 --- "The Nox Emperor." Upon hearing the words, Huo Yuhao observed Alexandra''s expression and noticed her "x." purple iris flickered for a moment. Alexandra smiled at him as if she was a proud teacher who witnessed her student answering correctly. It was a brief millisecond, but Huo Yuhao captured the moment well. "How hurtful. Why did that fool Titania could gain an heir like you while I stuck being single for eons." Shemented with a sigh. "I''m jealous, very jealous." Her smile lightened when uttering this. "Well, you''re right." "This darling ve and eldest sister of yours are indeed the Nox Emperor herself. To be precise, Alexandra von Admante is just one of the countless incarnations I created in the past." "And Alexandra von Admante''s personality is split into two because I want to see what kind of being my incarnation could be. Alexandra is somewhat a failure as she couldn''t control herselfpletely, losing authority of her emotion so easily." She nced at Huo Yuhao and added, "Not to mention she lost to a low 9th ss Devil Warrior despite being 10th ss Devil Warrior. I know you used power enhancement to make the fight fair, but my incarnation usually never lost." "Then... You started to torture me after that." "W-Well, I have to say this honestly. You awakened something intense inside me, master~!" She blew him a kiss. Huo Yuhao dodged the imaginary kiss with an annoyed look, which made Nox-Alexandra giggle in amusement. He has several thoughts running through his head, knowing Nox Emperor could kill him with just her sneeze. "I won''t kill you, master. My will won''t allow such an act." Like reading his mind, Nox-Alexandra pouted disapprovingly. "I pledged my loyalty to you three months, three weeks, five days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 59 seconds ago." "My soul, mind, and body are solely dedicated to you for eternity." She submissively said, kneeling on the bed. "Of course, my main body was also affected by this awakening. It would take fifty years for her toe here personally. Titania Bolos is too far from my grand star, which makes me wonder why Titania ced her home on the corner of Everlith Universe. "Wait... Since my incarnations connected through psyche-astral lines, they were probably influenced by your kindness(torture) too." "Should I give Kroman Absolute Order to you? I don''t need it anyway." "What I need is..." Alexandra eyed Huo Yuhao''s crotch hungrily. Huo Yuhao ced a pillow on his crotch andmented, "Stop staring at me like that. And stop joking around." "Joking? Pfft,e on. You fucked me senselessly beyond repair. I can''t live without your touch and little brother anymore." Nox Alexandra smirked at him. "Have you wondered why Alexandra''s 1st personality hasn''t resurfaced for so long? You fucked her to aa, for fuck sake." "..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t counter Nox Alexandra''sments. Even though Huo Yuhao tried to control himself at the time, Theomars'' hatred and passion were too excessive. He sighed and rubbed his forehead in defeat. "Don''t feel guilty about your actions. You won the fight, so you deserve the reward." Nox Alexandra sat on Huo Yuhao''s pillow and leaned on his chest. "You imed me as your prize. That''s justmon sense here." "And You''re blessed that Alexandra von Admante is Nox Emperor''s Incarnation. Even the eyes of the sovereign couldn''t foresee this future." "The absolute control over the Kroman Race is just an extra reward." "How casual." Huo Yuhao sneered, feeling the Nox Emperor dump her responsibility on him. "Yet, you didn''t reject it." Nox Alexandra went for a kiss, but Huo Yuhao ced another pillow before her face. "Rude... Is this how you reject women?" "Yes." Huo Yuhao threw Nox Alexandra onto the bed. "MM~!" Alexandra nervously stared at Huo Yuhao''s solid figure. His body is like ambrosia that fell from the eternal garden, charming any woman tomit an act of sin. The Incubus Devil fell shortpared to Huo Yuhao''s charms. ''Lucky Titania... I''ll take your precious sessor and get rid of my single status.'' Licking her lips, Nox Alexandra heavily anticipated what would happen next. Huo Yuhao took off his shirt and said, "I''ll call you Nox Alexandra from now on." "Even though you said flowery words to me, you haven''t proven your loyalty. Given the mood in this room, you should know what we were going to do." "Yes~!" Nox Alexandra replied while taking off her sleeping robe. ... ... [You have umted another achievement and obtained a title] [New Achievement: Even the Devil Goddess Empress is falling for me identally] [The Quasi-Primordial Lucky Bastard] [Grade: SSS] [Effect: Increase the chance of a lucky encounter by 75%] [Description: This ridiculous achievement was "fortunately." obtained after conquering Nox Emperor''s Incarnation and indirectly influenced her true self through a hivemind-like connection] Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel with a deadpan expression and looked at Nox Alexandra, who rested her head on his chest. She breathed softly, brushing his skin with a gentle puff of air. Looking at Alexandra''s sleepy face, Huo Yuhao could feel Theomars'' resentment slowly fade into thin air. This body has be his entirely. Huo Yuhao lifted his back from the bed and started to meditate, flowing his inner energy in and out for several minutes. After circting the native energy with Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, he opened his eyes slowly and saw Nox Alexandra fascinated expression. "You reached 10th ss?" She asked in disbelief. "Aren''t you supposed to be neen years old? That broke the record of my grand star''s genius by 81 years..." "Built differently. Don''t ask how." Huo Yuhao replied while hearing Evo''s notification. [You have reached 10th ss Devil Warrior] [Unlocking the Devil''s Taboo: Devil Dragon God of Adversity] [Name: Devil Dragon God of Adversity] [Type: Innate Skill/Path] [Grade: SSS] [Description: The "Devil Dragon God of Adversity." is Devil''s Taboo unique to the host. It''s the amalgamation of Huo Yuhao''s struggle in Titania Bolos, condensing into power to destroy all creation under the 5th Dimension. It''s the unknown thorny path of the ruler and conqueror chosen by your strongest desire] [Innate Powers: Wild God''s Authority, Devil and Dragon Godly Physique, Nameless King''s Path] [Warning! Devil''s Taboo could only get activated for a certain amount of time. Constant activation will lead to Karmic Destruction and Permanent Soul Injury for not being able to endure the Taboo against the natural order] [The System rmended the host use Devil Taboo when reaching 11th ss or even higher realms to sustain the damage properly] Unknown to Huo Yuhao, a crown of broken blue light surrounded his ck head. As he guessed before, Devil''s Taboo is the starting point of godhood in this universe. This stage is when one condenses everything into a single essence. "How unbelievable. You tell me a barely adult man could break the Taboo without consequence? In my Star, this could only happen to the first-generation Ancient Devils." Nox Alexandra stared at the crown of light on Huo Yuhao''s head. "Why the long face?" Huo Yuhao deactivated his Devil''s Taboo. "Alexandra also broke her Taboo years ago, no? It''s nothing special." Nox Alexandra shook her head and returned solemnly, "That''s a ridiculous take, master. Alexandra is Nox Emperor''s incarnation, which means her Devil Taboo was "literally." determined from the beginning." "It''s called "Minor Devil Goddess of the Beginning." that allowed Alexandra to ess the hivemind. Yes, this is why the incarnation of Nox Emperor(including herself) who reached 10th ss or above is affected by your torturous kindness." "We are conquered by you indirectly..." A bitter smile appeared on Nox Alexandra''s Face. "I see..." Huo Yuhao recalled Qianye Ying''er also created something simr to this. However, Nox Emperor''s Incarnation scales are even moreplex than Qianye Ying''er perception-sharing runes. That includes emotion and feelings, not just touches. "Your method is too risky." Nox Alexandra won''t deny the harsh statement and replies with a chuckle, "My true self is toozy. She''d rather sleep for one thousand years than do her job as the ruler." "Nox Emperor spread the incarnations so that she doesn''t have to move a single inch from the bed." "Now imagine an intense memory of tortured Alexandra packed into one and shoved into her head. She probably fell into stupefaction and came continuously on the spot for several days, making dumb expressions or something like that." "That''s one year and six months inside Ink Domain..." Huo Yuhaoughed and facepalmed because he dugs his own grave. He doesn''t feel happy at all about this news. Maybe a little, just a little. Trust him. "Well, I don''t have much time left... Alexandra is about to awake from hera. Make a new body for me if you can." Nox Alexandramented while lying her head on hisp. "I can, but doesn''t that mean you''ll cut your connection with your true body?" Huo Yuhao answered while summoning a 9th ss Shadow Warrior, a new one he refined yesterday. "This should be good enough." "Yeah." Nox Alexandra touched the Shadow Warrior, feeling herself sink into it. "Welp, see you soon." The Shadow Warrior released a dim green aura and revealed a carbon copy of Alexandra. Except this woman has deep green-white hair and an "x." purple iris. It seems Harmonia and Triana aren''t the only twins in this alliance. "Mm... Where am I?" Alexandra opened her eyes, seeing her master Theo. "Master Theo~!!" She hugged him tightly. Yes, Alexandra returned to her docile and innocent self before losing control of her emotion. "How adorable." Nox Alexandra looked at this scenery with a funny expression. "Alexandra''s nickname in her childhood is Alexy. You can call her that, master." "Alexy?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. Nox Alexandra cracked a smile and replied, "It has nothing to do with me. That memory is buried deep in her mind." "Hmm... Alexy, who am I to you?" Huo YUhao asked. Alexandra grinned and replied, "My master~!" "See." Nox Alexandra shrugged her shoulders. "Anyway, let us rest for a day... Um, maybe three days. I''m still sore down there. I''ll contact Titania and help you to find Grand Marshal Mountain." "Sure." Huo Yuhao agreed without question. They have formed a master and servant rtionship. [Ding! You have triggered a quest] [You have stopped Nox Emperor''s Death from the original path by conquering her indirectly. She has awakened from her sleep and prevented the Monster Race from cursing her to death] [A quest generated] [Name: Grand Marshall Mountain''s Cracks] [Objective: Find the Source of the Monster Race''s Invasion, Seal the Cracks, and Kill Homun Monster Monarch(0/2)] [Reward: Titania von Valstrax''s Affection(+15%), Raki del Krmine''s Affection(+20%), and the Grand Duchess Ink Devil''s Quill] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [No/Yes] "Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded, pressing the button without hesitation. He walked off the bed and stretched slightly, sensing the spiritual connection from his clone in the ck Pearl Castle. "What??" "I''ll be there soon!" "For fuck sake, I can''t even catch a break." He cursed quietly. [You have reached the 2nd Stage of the Millennium Crusade] [The Monster Race has allied with the Nether God to destroy Titania Bolos] [You have ten days before the new wave starts] "..." Huo Yuhao. "Damn... There are even stages in this quest." "I have no choice but to proceed toplete the quest. Fortunately, I still have that." Chapter 168: A Way to Solve the Invasion Chapter 168: A Way to Solve the Invasion --- Chapter 165 --- A few dayster, Nox Alexandra watched Huo Yuhao fly away from the alliance base and go to the ck Pearl Castle. She waved her hands still, knowing he wouldn''t be able to see her at this point. "This is unlike you, Titania." Shemented lightly. "Why haven''t you exined what it meant to be Valstrax''s Inheritor to Theo? His Ancient Ink Bloodline is bing strong each second and ultimately reaches your level soon." "Also, stop hiding." Nox Alexandra''s eyes shine in mystical purple light. "Even though I''m an incarnation, my sense has reached the Divine Revtion stage. Alexandra is quite talented, after all." A drop of ink appeared, turning into Titania von Valstrax with an annoyed expression on her beautiful face. "What do you want?" She responded indifferently. "Nox Emperor... No, Raki. You promised me 7.900 years ago not to step into my territory unless something emergency happened. However, not only you broke that promise so easily, but you dared to spread your incarnation here." "Tell me a reason for not attacking Everlith Pce now. It might take five years to reach that ce, but my blood(ink) will always paint your domain in death." Titania''s golden eyes focused on Nox Alexandra. Nox Alexandra raised her hands in defeat and returned, "Aih, still the same as always are you, Titania." "Take a chill pill for a second, can''t you?" With a smile, Nox Alexandra snapped her finger and created a stylish table and two chairs. She sat down and brewed tea, waiting for Titania to sit down too. Titania sighed and reacted by sitting on the chair, making Nox Alexandra giggle in amusement. epting a cup of tea from Nox Alexandra, Titania took a sip andmented, "Tch, too bitter." "Like your love life." "Oh, we are just going straight to it, eh?" Nox Alexandra didn''t mind thement. "As for your statement, my love life bloomed recently." "Pu-!" Titania spewed the tea in her mouth, staring at this pretentious woman with frowns. "Y-You what??" Ignoring Titania''s shocked look, Nox Alexandra brushed her fellow devil''s disbelief with augh. "Hehe, you see. Master Theo has imed my heart through Alexandra. He dominated every inch of my soul, mind, and boy with his touches. Those touches are engraved deeply in me." "And since I still have the Astral Link, all my incarnations and the main body are affected by it. I''m a little flustered, but we have definitely fallen in love with him." "Stop joking!" Titania released the pressure that made the alliance base shake violently. Everyone thought it was an enemy attack, but the source came from Huo Yuhao''s room. After that, they ignored it, and somedies were blushing hard. They believed Huo Yuhao had intense "workouts." in his room. "I''m not joking." Nox-Alexandra firmly said. Her resolution creates a field that scatters Titania''s pressure away. "Theomars is my beloved master. I''ll do anything for him, even handing over the Everlith Universe to him." "And you have no right to decide this matter. It''s all up to Master Theo, Titania." "He didn''t reject my advance nor my proposition to be Absolute Ruler of our Universe. Soon, he will be strong enough to handle both my and your title." "Don''t be selfish, Titania... You knew very well that Valstrax and Krmine needed a suitable heir. None is better than Theomars himself." "I don''t want to share him with you." Titania countered while mming her hand on the table. "He''ll be my heir." "He''ll be my partner." "He''ll be Valstrax forever." "Remember that..." She red while vanishing into thin air. Nox Alexandra knew Titania could still hear her and dered, "Even though he''ll be your partner. You didn''t say anything about serving under him, no?" "I would dly take that position in the future." "As for the Wife''s position, let''s see about thatter... His affection will decide it." "Scram!" A hateful roar echoed in the room. Well, it''s more like a defensive kitten to Nox Alexandra. Nox Alexandra chuckled, staring at the boundless blue horizon with a relieved gaze. Titania isn''t hard to convince as she only appeared tough outside. The Ancient Ink Devil is indeed soft-hearted. "Well, I technically didn''t break my promise." She drank the tea. "Since I''m Alexandra''s inactive personality who never meant to resurface more than emotional level and merged with her when attaining 11th Grade Devil Warrior." "My existence lives because of Master Theo. He awakened my consciousness and separated it from Alexandra, birthing Nox Alexandra that possessed the body of his Shadow Warrior." "At the end of the day, Master Theo still assigned me as his servant." "He probably didn''t realize this, but his Shadow Warrior''s soul is also merging with mine. It increases my devotion and affection to an unpredictable level." "My life is his now, after all." "Shadow, huh..." Nox Alexandra finished her tea. "The bnce between light and darkness. The gray area between the beginning and the end, his powerpliments Ancient Ink Devil and Ancient Everlith Devil very well." "Fufu~! I wonder how strong he could be until the main body arrives at Titania Bolos. 11th ss wouldn''t be a question, but 12th ss is possible enough for him." "Cutie Titania, let''s see how long you can keep your secret from him." ... ... Huo Yuhao used "Extreme Lightning Mirage." and traveled across the continent with tremendous speed, leaving no trail behind besides some light shockwaves he had generated from his step in the sky. He kicked the air and glided through the cloud, observing thend with his Observation Haki. He marked some locations with Monster Nest for the alliance to subjugate and saw a familiar-looking castle afar. It''s just a little dark dot, but a smile couldn''t help but appear on his face. One might wonder why Huo didn''t Yuhao use Shadow Exchange to return to ck Pearl Castle. The answer is pretty simple. It was for scouting the area the alliance never went to because this route to ck Pearl Castle is considered a forbidden path. The reason behind the forbidden path is unknown, even to Karuta Empire''s Empress, Lily de Kemos. With a frown, Huo Yuhao noticed a massive energying from the ground and saw an enormous earthworm burst out of the rocky terrain, ambushing him. Huo Yuhao smiled wryly and waved his hand, sending a wave of destruction down. BOOM! The painful roar escaped the gigantic earthworm as its entire body crumbled into dust. Huo Yuhao was about to fly away, but a shimmering white light suddenly caught his attention. He used telekinesis, which was applicable after mastering inner energy, and grabbed this shiny thing. A white crystal sucked into his palm. [Name: Monster Core] [Type: Material] [Grade: A+] [Description: The essence of a dying 9th ss monster race with immense energy within it. Upon consumption, there is a 30% chance to evolve one''s body to possess the strength of 9th ss Monsters] [Ding! The drop rate of Monster Core is significantly low. Only 9th ss Realm and higher Monsters could form it] "Like... How low are we talking about, Evo?" Huo Yuhao curiously questioned because Monster Core is valuable for people on his side. [0.69% chance to drop from 9th ss Monsters] [1.42% chance to drop from 10th ss Monsters] [3% chance to drop from 11th ss Monsters] [And 6.9% chance to drop from 12th ss Monsters] "Well, shit." "Let''s see how my luck affects the drop rate then." Huo Yuhao didn''t do anything grand and located all the earthworms underground with his observation haki, finding the source as quickly as possible. There are no 10th-ss Monsters there yet because the second phase just started. He immediately gathered his inner energy into one water droplet and dropped it down. It might look ordinary, but this droplet contained his Eternal Shadow(Darkness and Death) and Ogre King''s Power. Thus the droplet is absorbed into the ground and activated under Huo Yuhao''s order when reaching the nest, sting the whole area in shadowy mes and metal smells. Its application is simr to Armament Haki''s inner destruction, but instead of flowing inside. This attack expanded rapidly and covered everything in destruction. Simply put, It''s Outer Destruction. BOOOOM! Huo Yuhao''s kill count of the monster increased by five digits instantly and was about to reach six soon. "I should train my Ancient Ink Devil''s abilities more. The manifestation I could pull off is still too weak to meet my standard." Hemented while hearing Evo''s notification. [You have killed 99.873 Monsters] "How many Monster Cores do I get?" Huo Yuhao asked, checking the underground briefly. [Scanning...] [Out of 99.873 earthworms, there are only 156 that dropped monster cores] "Not bad. I can use half of the drops to increase everyone''s strength in the ck Pearl Castle. It''s about damn time to make them stronger, so the castle won''t go down so easily." Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. "One problem solved from the reports." Huo Yuhao used the Spiritual Link he established with Nox Alexandra and told her to lead some alliance warriors to subjugate this ce. Monster Core will be a precious resource for them. ''Okay, Master~! I''ll do it quickly!'' The new servant responded sweetly, which made Huo Yuhao smile a little. After taking the monster cores, Huo Yuhao continued his journey to the ck Castle and arrived 40 minutester. Landing in the garden, the servant and guards greeted him warmly. "Your Highness, you''re finally back." Damian cried in happiness, which left everyone speechless. Huo Yuhao pushed Damian away and responded, "Yeah, stop hugging me!" "I''m only away for a couple of months. And my shadow warriors should be able to protect this castle without any problem." "But we missed you~!" Damian responded dramatically, gaining a re from everyone. This guy. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "My clone told me you want to be stronger. I have something to solve it, but it doesn''t mean you can ck on your cultivation." Grabbing monster cores from his inventory, Huo Yuhao exined to everyone its effect upon consumption. He handed two monster cores each to everyone, knowing the 30% chance was low. Telling them to absorb the cores immediately, Huo Yuhao went to his room with Damian. "You can talk freely now, Damian. What''s your concern?" Huo Yuhao leaned on the wall. Damian cleared his throat and answered, "Yes, Your Highness." The butler exined the ck Pearl Castle''s living conditions for a few minutes and continued the monster wave''s topic, telling Huo Yuhao that some monsters use the mine shafts under the castle to breed. Not very surprised by it, Huo Yuhao kept listening to Damian''s report and was startled when "Grand Marshal Mountain." suddenly got mentioned. "Go back a few lines... What did you say?" Huo Yuhao asked meticulously. "Uh... Grand Marshal Mountain?" Damian tilted his head. Huo Yuhao nodded and confirmed, "Yes, that''s it." "Do you know where Grand Marshal Mountain is located?" "Grand Marshal Mountain is located deep within the Eternal ck Ocean, submerged by tsunami thousand years ago. If we used ck Pearl Castle as the starting point, the mountain is around 9.000 miles away from here." "This information is old, Your Highness. I get the gist of it after reading an old journal in the castle." "Where is that journal?" Huo Yuhao raised his brows. "In the library... You have not been there for almost two years." Damian smiled while telling Huo Yuhao to follow him. And Huo Yuhao could only me Theomars for sleeping all day in his bedroom. Arriving at the library, Damian picked up some books and ced them on the table. "Here, the books used Ancient Language." Huo Yuhao picked the book at the top and skimmed through the content quickly. Damian said it was Ancient Language, but he sees it more like English. "This..." Huo Yuhao stopped at a particr line. "Monster Race used the passage below the ocean to invade... It''s one of their characteristics. This gate stabilized using the sacrifice of countless monster''s life, causing the spatial fabric to be weaker slowly." "To stop the gate, someone must close it from the other side." "Who..." Huo Yuhao checked the book''sst page and saw the author of this book. "Grand Duchess Ink Devil..." "Satanichia von Admante." "..." Chapter 169: The Second Phase Started Chapter 169: The Second Phase Started --- Chapter 166 --- ck Pearl Castle''s Library. Huo Yuhao is lying on the floor with a deadpan expression, gazing at the ceiling emotionlessly. He has read everything in this goddamn library but found nothing about Satanichia von Admante. That woman is apparently Theomars'' Grand Grandmother. And there is also no record of her in the Admante Family. Hemanded Alexy/Alexandra to check the Admante''s Family Library but found no answer. Even in the secret chamber where all precious information and treasure are stored, Alexy told Huo Yuhao that "Satanichia''s life biography." has long disappeared in history. Huo Yuhao could have talked with Titania, but the Ancient Ink Devil ignored his call. "Fine, I''ll do it myself." He told the butler to make a warm meal and bring it to his room. Returning to his room, Huo Yuhao meditated before a window and used Universal Breathing Technique to circte enhanced inner energy to his whole body parts. After circting his energy for the 100th Cycle, he stopped and breathed out, exhaling all the waste. "This body has be self-sustained. As long as there is energy in the atmosphere, I can convert it into inner energy." "I also possessed more than enough Soul Energy from Endless ck Ocean Art for emergencies." Huo Yuhao puffed smoke from his mouth, seeing the swirling waves pattern on it. He suddenly remembered something and asked his system, "Evo, I''m technically... No, rightfully ck Pearl Castle''s owner, right?" [That''s correct, host] Knowing what he would do next, Huo Yuhao smiled yfully and opened his mouth. A small whisper that one barely could hear came out, but only Huo Yuhao and Evo could listen to it. If only Alexandra''s Devil Force could be activated inwardly, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t have this problem. [You have applied the second rule of Imaginary Manifestation] Evo notified calmly. [You have one usage left] "Your Highness, the meal is here." Damian entered the room with a somewhat excited smile. Huo Yuhao stretched his body and replied, "Thanks, Damian. Now, go and absorb the monster cores I distributed to you." Damian nodded in understanding and left quietly after cing the tray on Huo Yuhao''s office desk. "Treat your subordinate better, huh?" Huo Yuhao sat on the chair and filled his stomach. Naga''s words stuck in his head for a few moments. After finishing his meals, Huo Yuhao summoned his shadow army and watched them spread into four divisions. Even though Huo Yuhao hasn''t seen them personally for almost four months besides Rosa herself, his shadow army''s strengths have developed tremendously under the constant attack of monster waves. He knew Khiron, Brunhilde, and Iris dominated the battlefield with their skills and indomitable strengths. They reached peak 9th ss two weeks ago, and all the shadow warriors in the army also advanced to 8th ss naturally without needing Nightmare Demon Pot''s assistance. It''s good progress, but they won''t do well against the iing 11th ss Grade Monster behind the portal at the Grand Marshal Mountain. So? The Nightmare Demon Pot they go. Huo Yuhao basically reduced his army to a third of the original, but their strengths couldpete with every empire in Titania Bolosbined. All the shadow warriors upgraded to 9th ss Shadow Warriors. As for the elite shadows, they attained the 10th ss Stage and broke the taboo unorthodoxly. Rosa, the former living Kroman(Devil Race), broke the Devil''s Taboo. And the other elite shadows seemingly awakened something simr called Monster''s Blessing. [Name: Iris] [Cultivation: 10th ss Shadow Warrior(Low)] [Monster''s Blessing: "Divine Protection of Sun and Moon."] [Name: Brunhilde] [Cultivation: 10th ss Shadow Warrior(Low)] [Monster''s Blessing: "Fool''s Romantica of Fallen Angel."] [Name: Khiron] [Cultivation: 10th ss Shadow Warrior(Low)] [Monster''s Blessing: "Shadowless Warrior of the Dying Star."] [Name: Rosa] [Cultivation: 10th ss Shadow Warrior(Low)] [Devil''s Taboo: "The Thorn Princess, Undying Shadow Garden."] Huo Yuhao read the description of his elite shadows'' new abilities briefly andughed because this world is ridiculous when ites to power scaling. Iris couldunch an attack blessed with sun and moon, injuring Divine-like beings with her arrows. It also applied to her body, increasing the 10th ss(low base) to the peak for a short time. Brunhilde possessed an ability to create an absolute defensive domain that resisted attacks based on her feelings and affections toward her master. It became more effective as long as she believed Huo Yuhao was the best person in her heart. And her appearance changed to that of a fallen angel with ck-feathered wings. Khiron could ask for the help of the nearest dying stars and extract their assistance in the form of a strengthening buff. He could manipte the earth at will and increase/decrease gravity. Lastly, Rosa. She broke the Devil''s Taboo and gained the authority to turn anynds she stepped into the Undying Shadow Garden. It''s a domain that created endless shadowy thorns, which also sucked life energy rapidly until nothing was left behind. "How was it?" Huo Yuhao asked his elite shadows casually. "Weird... I felt more, hmm? Dangerous? With this untapped power coursing through my body." Iris replied while scratching her neck awkwardly. Brunhilde felt the same and added, "Yeah, it''s weird." "My body is like a kapow~! And a Kabaam~! Dingy DING! Then, return to normal as if nothing happened." Upon hearing her description, everyone stared at Brunhilde with amazed gazes and chuckles amusingly. "What?" Brunhilde looked at them, confused. ''How adorable.'' Huo Yuhao decided to pat Brunhilde. The winged shadow warrior didn''t dislike the pat and even enjoyed it to some degree. Khiron faked a cough and took his turn to exin Monster''s Blessing to everyone. "Mine is rather weird, my liege. My Monster''s Blessing allowed me tomunicate with dying stars and unleash their wish to shine brighter for thest time. It somewhat connected to my origin as Centaur." "I couldn''t remember it well, but every monster race possessed this inborn memory about our ancestors. They are powerful beings with the strength to blow up small stars and fill their stomachs with it." "However, our Monster''s Blessing seems to change under your influence, my liege." Iris and Brunhilde nodded in agreement. "My Monster''s Blessing should be "Feline''s Warrior of the South." ording to the inborn memory," Iris added to Khiron''s exnation. Brunhilde thought hard while scrunching her face and mumbled, "I can''t remember mine... Ugh, tooplicated." "What about you, Rosa?" Huo Yuhao nced at the former princess of the Karuta Empire. Rosa smacked her lips excitedly and replied, "Well, what can I say? My Devil''s Taboo will be useful for you, my liege. My power is yours to use, and I can guarantee that Undying Shadow Garden will be a horrifying path our enemy shall take." "My strength also increased exponentially. I shouldn''t have a problem fighting for months against a monster wave of the same level as me." "Good." Huo Yuhao was satisfied with the development of his shadow army. They couldn''t fight 11th-ss Monsters yet, but that would be his problem. And Controlling a wave of 10th-ss Monsterster should be fine for now. "Brunhilde, Iris. Can you check Eternal ck Ocean for me? And report everything you see through the spiritual link." He suddenlymanded. "Ah, call support immediately when you notice something strange." "Your wish is ourmand, my liege." Iris and Brunhilde kneeled on the floor. "Thanks." Huo Yuhao smiled at them. "I''ll prepare the army to attack the Grand Marshal Mountain quickly. ording to the 2nd Emperor''s message, we don''t have that much time left." "Don''t worry about the castle. I have already ced protection on it." "As long as I''m still breathing and kicking well, the ck Pearl Castle won''t fall." Rosa knew Huo Yuhao''s words had double meanings, not justforting to his shadow army. She pondered and gasped silently, watching Huo Yuhao put his finger on his lips. She only guessed, but if it was true. Then, ck Pearl Castle will be the strongest fortress in the Titania Bolos. Tightening her lips, Rosa kept her mouth closed. Iris and Brunhilde left the castle an hourter, bringing some winged-shadow soldiers to scout arger area of the Eternal ck Ocean. Khiron asked for permission to test his power, and Huo Yuhao told him to do it in moderation, considering the area near ck Pearl Castle had weakened quite a bit because of relentless attacks from the monster race. Huo Yuhao is lying on his bed, nning the Grand Marshal Mountain''s attack soon. "It''s going to be hectic." He sighed while closing his eyes. "Hmm?" Someone is crawling under his nket. "What are you doing, Rosa?" Rosa deactivated her phantom form and hugged Huo Yuhao''s waist between her well-endowed bosom. Lifting the nket, Huo Yuhao could see a grin on her face. "I''m just taking my chance before it''s toote. My liege, we wouldn''t have time to do fun things as the monster race will attack us soon." She said provocatively. "Let me serve you in bed this once." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but shake his head and said, "Since when did you be this naughty, Rosa?" "Heh, you underestimated how thirsty I was, my liege. When I lived as Terresa de Kemos, my desire for you was high." "My liege, can I~?" Rosa rubbed her cheeks on his crotch. "Please~?" "Just once, okay?" Huo Yuhao returned weakly. "Okay~!" Rosa leaned forward and kissed Huo Yuhao''s lips. ... ... Ten days have passed. Huo Yuhao reached the 10th ss Devil Warrior''s peak with the help of Beast King''s Core, gaining "Moonlight Energy." and "Beastification." skills from it. He also raised All-Transforming Ink to A Grade afterprehending the usage of Ink in this universe, gaining ess to higher maniption of Ancient ink Devil''s Bloodline. All his skills became more refined in just one week because of Ink Domain. What''s more noticeable is the fact he could use Devil Trigger and Devil''s Taboo longer than before. [Name: Theomars von Valstrax(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 19 years old] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(Peak/85%)] [Cultivation: 10th ss Devil Warrior(Peak/Recultivated)] [Battle Power: 11th ss(Mid)] [Passive Skill: Ancient Devil''s Regeneration(S), Poison Immunity(SS), Devil Force: Forced Plundering(S), Tracing(A+), Art Mastery(SS), Perfect Body(SS), Perfect Control(SS), Weapon Mastery(S+), Cold-Blooded(SS), Ogre King''s Devil me(SS), Steel-Like Body(SS), Moonlight Energy(SS), Beastification(SS)] [Active Skill: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, All-Transforming Ink(A), Eternal Shadow(3.420+), Devil Trigger(SS), Ink Domain(S+), Devil''s Taboo(SSS)] [Plundered Devil Force: Illusionary Manifestation(1 Use left)] [Technique: Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Haki(+), White Room''s Martial Arts, Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Endless ck Ocean Art] Looking at his status, Huo Yuhao is more than satisfied. "My liege." Rosa peeked out through the shadow. "The alliance has arrived." Yes, Huo Yuhao also ryed the information about the Grand Marshall''s Location to everyone at the alliance base. Even though only 8th ss and higher Devil Warriors could partake in it, it''s still a weak numberpared to the monster races. Well, It''s still better than nothing. Huo Yuhao arrived at the top of ck Pearl Castle, seeing several thousand 8th ss Devil Warriors led by 9th ss Devil Warriors on the continent. Even so, the amount of 10th ss Devil Warriors barely reaches two handsbined. "Seventeen 10th ss Devil Warriors, including the Admante Sisters, Karuta Empire''s Empress, and Norma''s Head. We are still on the weaker side without my shadow army." Huo Yuhaomented lightly. "I hope they couldst long enough facing the scattered monsters my shadow army couldn''t kill on time." "You''re hoping too much, my liege..." Rosa chuckled in reality. "Some of these people are cowards who reached their current cultivation at an older age, making them weaker than usual." "They better be fodder than actual warriors." "You know this as well, no?" Huo Yuhao didn''t deny Rosa''s words and replied, "They have their uses." CRACK! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! A violent tremor appeared out of nowhere and shook the whole. "They are faster than I thought." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and used the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves to neutralize this tremor. Crack! The fabric space above thend the alliance army was currently in suddenly ripped apart, revealing an ugly-looking monster with an eel-like body and wolf-like head. ROAR! "Get ready!" Huo Yuhao shouted to the army. [The Second Phase of the Millenium Crusade has started] Chapter 170: Extreme Invasion Chapter 170: Extreme Invasion --- Chapter 167 --- Titania Bolos finally descended into chaos. The blue sky has changed into menacing scarlet with several tears on the space fabric, allowing monsters to pour out like no tomorrow. Theynded on the ground and began swarming the area in great numbers. The ground is trembling. Thunderous roars of the monster race filled the in. Looking at this apocalyptic scenery, how could someone not be afraid? Breathing heavily in the dust caused by the invasion, all the Kroman instinctively gasped. Their breathing became heavier, but someone suddenly awakened them from this shock. "Pick your fight wisely!" Lily de Kemos shouted at the alliance army. "Don''t leave your formation, even for a second!" "If you can''t win alone, support the others!" "SURVIVE!" "SURVIVE AND FIGHT!" "FIGHT AND PROTECT OUR WORLD!" Her voice echoed with so much passion and will to fight. As the Empress of the Karuta Empire, Lily de Kemos couldn''t show a single weakness or nervousness, leading the alliance to this unknown-fated war. Is she afraid? Of course. Is she trembling upon witnessing this sight? Absolutely. Yet, Lily has to do it. "The Empress''s Pure ss Heart." Lily has activated her Devil''s Taboo and covered a 15 kilometers radius with a pure white aura, cleansing and strengthening the mind of Devil Warriors on the battlefield. It also heightened battle sense and Devil Warrior''s strength up to 110%. She didn''t stop there and created a domain filled with green vegetation, separating the monster races into three groups. 8th ss Monster will get trapped in the northern area near ck Pearl Castle. 9th ss Monsters got firmly restrained on the sandynd in the south. Meanwhile, all 10th ss Monsters focused on the ck Pearl Castle itself. They aren''t close enough to attack the castle, but Huo Yuhao should be able to attack them from this distance. It''s part of Huo Yuhao''s idea. Lily stopped moving, controlling the nts, and distributing the monster wave properly without any error. Or else the precious life of the Devil Warrior will pass more quickly. "I leave the rest to you, Your Highness Theo." Lily forced a smile while using 100% of her attention on the battlefield. "I''ll protect you, your majesty." Aiden Narmos solemnly said, using his Devil''s Taboo to create a strong wind barrier around Lily. He wouldn''t let a single monster through his defense and mess up everything. Lily didn''t say anything and nodded her head with gratitude. She''s not that defenseless in this situation, but more shield for her is better than nothing. The Admante Sisters spread out on the battlefield, reducing the number of monsters in the area as much as possible. Even though four of them reached 10th ss Devil Warriors a few days ago, the monster wave helped them to adapt to this new realm. And contrary to the sisters'' belief, Alexandra actually did a fantastic job, despite losing her Devil Force. Well, her "Absolute Breeding Vessel." is going full throttle after the first night with Huo Yuhao. Absolute Breeding Vessel didn''t justpel Alexandra to get filled with seeds but also to be the perfect incubator. Even though she doesn''t get pregnant, her body stores Huo Yuhao''s characteristics. That''s why Alexandra could manipte Darkness expertly and swarm millions of monster races with her sub-Devil Force. She created row upon row of weapons with Darkness Maniption, dragging her enemies into the abyss. Mercy blinked in surprise, giggling because Alexandra still held the title of the most talented Admante. She doesn''t count her master as he took Valstrax''s name. "I couldn''t let her steal the show." Shemented while shaking her head. Well, it''s not just Mercy because the other youngdies of the Admante Family be pumped with spirit. Mercy enhanced her body with Devil''s Taboo and made uniquely-shaped tattoos spreading on her creamy white skin. She let out a battle cry like a berserker and stomped the ground, causing a massive earthquake. ROAR! A ninth-ss monster with a tiger-like head and bulky physique pounced at Mercy. "DIE!" Mercy''s fist made contact with the monster''s face, blowing everything apart behind it. BOOM! The sheer power of Mercy''s fist created a powerful shockwave that washed over the monster wave, killing more than half a million. Out of everydy of the Admante Family, Mercy gained the most changes in appearance and strength-wise. She lost her original devil force and gained a support type, which surprisingly opened a path to the bigger picture. Her Devil''s Taboo was called "Goddess Healer''s Berserk." and allowed Mercy to ess raw divine-like strength. She might lose her sanity, but everything will be fine as long as Huo Yuhao is around her. ra whistled casually and called the incarnation of lightning from the sky, gathering thunderclouds. A massive pair of wings spread out and washed the area with a powerful sucking force. She breathed out, triggering the lightning strike to hit her. BOOM! ra''s whole body was "immediately." covered with intense white electricity. Her pink hair danced wildly as her cultivation soared to mid-10th ss Devil Warrior. She lifted her finger, mimicking a shooting-like gesture, and said, "Let''s see how you can withstand this." "Bang!" A white pir of electricity expanded from ra''s finger and washed the area with intense electromaic waves. She repeated this with a grin and massacred millions of monsters in just a blink of an eye. Harmonia and Triana nced at each other, shaking their heads because they didn''t want to lose against them. The older twin walked forward, sping her hand raspily. She closed her eyes and created a massive dent in the Titania Bolos, making several millions of monsters fall into a deep hole. Clenching her hand, Harmonia opened her mouth and whispered, "Earth Burial..." BOOOOOM! The dent condensed rapidly and buried the monsters to their deaths. Triana flicked her finger gently and manipted the sky, increasing the air pressure enough to make the 9th ss Monster''s bone shatter. She pointed her index finger down and chanted, "Heaven-Locking Formation: Sky Fall." BOOOOOOOM!! "Hmph, show off," Harmoniamented with a sneer. Triana maintained a small smile and replied, "This was nothingpared to our master. I may lock the heaven(sky), but he destroys it." "Just look at the sky, hehe." Everyone looked up instinctively and witnessed ck rains descend on them, which somehow tightened their hearts in worry. This scene made the monster wave stop for a second as they couldn''t prepare for their deaths. "Strike them down, Gund Pati." Huo Yuhao enhanced his archery skill with Observation Haki, widening his range and increasing the number of arrows he shot. This skill has nothing to do with massacring the monster wave but weakening them to a manageable level. So other fighters could defeat them without too much pressure. Averting his attention, Huo Yuhao senses several 10th ss Monsters surrounding him. They were hovering in the air and red at him like a piece of meat. "On your left." Huo Yuhao smiled at them. A boomerang flew above the ck Pearl Castle at horrifying speed and decapitated half of 10th ss Monsters. It was not a boomerang, but Huo Yuhao''s Halberd: Dosa. Huo Yuhao picked up the pace and shed with the rest of the 10th ss Monsters, overpowering them with his polearm mastery. He didn''t give them a chance to fight back as Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist deflected and redirected iing attacks. These monsters are strong, incredibly strong, andparable to Spirit Beast with 200.000 years of cultivation age. However, facing them is far easier than his beloved shishou, the god yer herself. Bouncing the halberd from left to right, Huo Yuhao kicked the nearest Monster Race to gain momentum and smashed his weapon at its skull. BOOM! The rotating wave-like tip pulverized the monster''s head and generated even more rotation. Huo Yuhao coated the halberd with Armament Haki and added Ogre King''s me, making the ax''s edge scorching hot like a miniature sun. "DIE, YOU TRASHY KROMAN!" A bull-headed monster activated its Monster''s Blessing and made the sky tremble, summoning an even bigger manifestation of the golden bull. Its sheer size is thrice ck Pearl Castle. "Don''t have time for that... Take care of that bull, Khiron." Huo Yuhao ignored the attack and moved to the next opponent. "Bye." "..." The bull-headed monster was speechless. "Your wish is mymand, my liege!" Khiron suddenly shouted with all his might. He held his twin axes tightly and borrowed the power of the closest dying star, creating a massive lion golem against the iing golden bull. ROAR! BAM! The gigantic avatar and golem shed fiercely, causing a storm in the area. Huo Yuhao waved his halberd and observed the battlefield for the second time, seeing the Devil Warriors change the tide quite well. He smirked and said, "Arise." "W-What! What''s this!" A shocked shout came from the monster wave. "ARGGGHHHH!" The shadow warriors crawled out, moving based on Huo Yuhao''s order to kill the living monsters in the battle. Huo Yuhao extracted more than one hundred 10th ss Monsters on the spot, adding them to his immortal shadow army. "Your gravest mistake is to bring your strong soldiers to my face. They are mine now." Hemented casually. Huo Yuhao kept ughtering the 10th ss Monsters on the battlefield and extracted more shadows. Even though the monster race(siluman) still has more numbers, he would devour them into the Eternal Shadow Realm sooner orter. "Not yet..." His eyes wandered around thend. "I can''t leave yet." ''This situation just turned for the better. It is still not stable enough for the alliance to win. I''m not worried about the ck Pearl Castle because I had ced my Illusionary Manifestation''s 2nd rule on it.'' Huo Yuhao breathed in, destroying one of the monster''s units with his energy st. Dodging an attack from chameleon-like siluman, Huo Yuhao burned everything around him with Ogre King''s me. He contacted other elite shadows and asked, ''Iris, Brunhilde. Have you located the area?'' ''We are close, my liege.'' Iris responded while hugging Brunhilde''s back. She and the winged-shadow warriors had arrived at the Eternal ck Ocean four days ago, trying to determine the "Crack." location. Even though the description is unclear, Iris could pinpoint some ces with her Monster''s Blessing and cat eyes. "Give me three more hours. We have eliminated 1352 out of 1523 potential entrances in the Grand Marshal Mountain. Aih, this ce is too big for its good." Iris looked at the sinkingnd below her. "Can the alliancest three hours?" She returned with a worried tone. Huo Yuhao suddenlyughed and returned, "Are you looking down on me, Iris?" "I-I don''t dare to do such a thing, my liege..." Iris flustered, nervously scratching her nose like a cat. Huo Yuhao sighed and told Iris to focus on her task. "Three hours, huh?" He nced at the roaring battlefield filled with corpses. "I want to save my stamina for the main event, but something like that is impossible in this situation..." Grabbing Fairy King''s Canvas, Huo Yuhao spread the scroll open and chanted, "Come, Heaven Devouring Ink Serpent!" BOOM! An enormous shadow appeared and stood tall against the enemy, hissing arrogantly at these small fries. ''You call me to defeat these ants?'' Heaven Devouring Ink Serpent rolled its eyes at Huo Yuhao. "What? Go, swallow them as much as you can." Huo Yuhao ordered, having 5% of his energy consumed by summoning Titania''s servant. You might think it''s not much because Huo Yuhao still has 95% more and could recover it quickly, but he wants to save everything for the 11th ss Monsters behind the Grand Marshal Mountain''s portal. Five percent of his energy is vital for his n. "Three hours... Let''s lower my energy consumption." Huo Yuhao ced the halberd back into the inventory. He clenched his hand, balling the palm and rxing them. "DIE, KROMAN!" Another 10th ss Monster runs for Huo Yuhao''s life. Huo Yuhao barely moved from his position and used the stream-like hand movement to reach the monster''s cheek. "No, you." He smacked the monster''s head to the ground, creating a massive crater. However, like an endless wave, The monster started toe one after another toward Huo Yuhao. "A-Amazing..." Lily de Kemos opened her eyes because the monster waves moved to Huo Yuhao, lessening the burden on her side. Once she peeked out of the defensive formation, she could see Huo Yuhao calmly defeating any monsters that came to him. His fist moves like a stream, killing with swiftness and decisiveness. Not only that, but Lily also noticed Huo Yuhao never left the circle he made on the ground despite facing billions of monsters. Nox Alexandra observed the fight from afar andmented, "He''s worthy to bear Valstrax. His mastery of martial arts, even on my home star, is "rarely." seen." "I hope he won''t reject Krmine''s title. An heir with double family titles is not that rare, after all." "Well, my master is obviously saving his energy. And so, I''ll do my job as well." Nox Alexandra smiled sweetly and stared at the tears in the space fabric. She used her Devil''s Taboo that unlocked after going through Nightmare Demon Pot''s refining and sealed the space with it. ... ... Two hourster. Huo Yuhao breathed slightly heavier than usual, standing on the five meters radius circle with billions of monster corpses around it. His clothes are wet from sweat, sticking to his skin. "My liege, we found it!" Iris''s excited voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s head. "We managed to find it one hour earlier than I bargained for, yey!." "Hehe~!" "Good." Huo Yuhao calmed his nerve. "It''s time for a counterattack." Chapter 171: Counterattack Chapter 171: Counterattack --- Chapter 168 --- "How many casualties do we have on our side?" Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat on his face. "We have been fighting for slightly over two hours, which should feel like an eternity for some people, so the number shouldn''t be low." Hearing Huo Yuhao''s question, a bitter smile cracked on Lily de Kemos''s face. She sighed in frustration because the alliance was too weak to fend against the 10th ss Monsters'' wave. "We lost 60% of our army, mainly 8th ss Devil Warriors and low to mid 9th ss Devil Warriors. It only took one loose 10th ss Monster to sweep our army, which I couldn''t control with my Devil''s Taboo." "Please forgive myck of ability, Your Highness Theo." Lily lowered her head in shame. Huo Yuhao looked down at kneeling Lily andmented, "It''s not your fault, you know?" "This is one of many risks of this world-ending war. It''s not your fault for the alliance army to be so weak. So what if we lost 60% of it? You still save 40% of the people here, no? Their weakness is the reason behind their deaths." "I give them the honor for fighting bravely for Titania Bolos, and losing lives is normal in this ce. You can be sad, but that''s forter. Focus on what you faced first." "Swallow that sadness and turn it into motivation. Motivation to win this war." Everyone heard Huo Yuhao''s statement, clenching their hands tightly because he was correct. In war, life & death are within expectation. "Rise your head, Lily de Kemos. The final stage hasn''t started yet." Huo Yuhao added while ncing at the sky. "We still have something to do." Lily de Kemos slowly raised her head, seeing Huo Yuhao with her pink pearl-like eyes. She blinked a few times and smiled because this person was the rightful ruler of this world. "Lily." Huo Yuhao called her name gently, making the young empress''s heart skip. Contrary to Lily de Kemos''s belief, he suddenly threw some leather pouches at her. "Huh?" Lily instinctively caught all of them. "Those pouches are filled with recovery items such as antidotes to thousands of poisons, regeneration potions, and other life-saving things I created in the past 14 months at ck Pearl Castle." Huo Yuhao stated the content of the pouches. "There are also Energy Boosters, which could increase one''s inner energy for one hour. I advised you guys to use it in an emergency only because the Energy Booster draws your life force into raw strength. Meaning you''ll die upon eating it. It''s thest resort to protect everyone..." "When I said you''ll die, I really meant it." Making everyone swallow their saliva nervously. Huo Yuhao received a report from Nox Alexandra and sighed because every part of the Titania Bolos swarmed by the monster race. Well, an extreme invasion from their side indeed. However, it''s time for a counterattack. Bringing Lily closer, Huo Yuhao whispered something to the young empress''s ears and caused her eyes to widen in shock. She solemnly looked at him and nodded in understanding. "Leave it to me." She said while pumping her fist. Huo Yuhao smiled amusingly and looked at everyone with his sparkling red eyes. "Everyone, the fate of this world is in your hands now. The alliance base on the central continent has gotten destroyed by the monster race, leaving only two survival camps." "Your jobs now are to protect those bases. Protect those ces until I close the gate on the Grand Marshal Mountain." He added casually, making his part sound not significant. Yet, everyone knows closing the gate is far worse than protecting the survival camps. They could only hang their heads low when hearing hisment. After all, some rumor said 11th ss Monsters dwelled at the gate on Grand Marshal Mountain. It''s basically a death sentence. "Trust me." Huo Yuhao''s voice, which sounds aloof and cold, brushed their ears. "We can do this." That smile of confidence. These words or reassurance. This young man. They will remember this moment forever if they survive this world-ending event. There is no ounce of doubtful thought shes in their minds when listening to this young man. "We can do this." This line resonates for a moment that felt like an eternity. ... ... Huo Yuhao fetched Admante Sisters and Nox Alexandra, returning to the ck Pearl Castle shortly after. They didn''t have much time to prepare, but more than enough to get things ready. Lining before Huo Yuhao, six beautiful women stared at him with great interest. They are waiting for him to say something. "I have something to say... It''s information you could only get because you are my ves." He said with a wry smile. Huo Yuhao cast a Spiritual Barrier in his room so that only selected people could hear this. Even though Huo Yuhao couldn''t use Primordial Rune because this universe seems to reject it, the "Mystic Spiritual Arts." that Eluxia: Cmity Necromancer taught him is still usable. He didn''t use Mystic Spiritual Arts all this time because it consumed too much mental energy in his current state. His main body possessed immense mental power, which was close to infinite as the Spiritual Core Tree regenerated it more than he used, but Theomars'' is different. Theomars von Valstrax''s innate mental energy and what Huo Yuhao intensively cultivated for more than two years isn''t even close to 30% of his original reserve. Using Haki wasn''t so energy-consuming as it''s a nearly passive-like skill. However, Mystic Spiritual Arts are different. Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and said, "Before that, let''s keep this conversation to ourselves." He applied a silence spell on his ves, telling them the reason behind it a secondter. "I''m from another world." "..." The Admante Sisters couldn''t believe their ears for a second. Meanwhile, Nox Alexandra rolled her eyes because this was within her scope of guess. It exined many things about Theomars'' abnormality, whether it was his growth rate or insane ability. "Knew it." She mumbled to herself. Huo Yuhao ignored Nox Alexandra''sment and continued, "To be precise, I''m not Theomars von Admante. As I said, Theomars died already, and I upied this body." "Ah..." Mercedes recalled the moment she met her master for the first time. No wonder he acted more manly than her brother. The sisters immediately had a realization. Huo Yuhao shook his head and exined his problem to them, but not in detail because Evo''s existence must remain secret forever. Even though he was sure they wouldn''t betray him in any shape or form, he didn''t want to risk it. So, Huo Yuhao told them about cliche reincarnation shits from his past life. Of course, with some twists here and there. Testing their loyalty, Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and said, "You can leave this room if you want and be free again. I won''t do anything to stop you." Huo Yuhao knew the answer. And so do they. "No, masters!" The Admante Sisters and Nox Alexandra panicky kneeled on the ground. "W-We can''t live without you anymore." "Can you just bring us to your world?" Nox Alexandra pleaded. "Yes, bring us with you." Mercy added firmly. "It''s not like our status changes knowing this, you know?" Harmoniamented while fumbling with her fingers. "Mm. We are still your ve, master." Triana nodded in delight. "Pet, Pet too~!" ra gazed at Huo Yuhao with pitiful animal eyes. "Master, please don''t leave me... Uuh." Alexy sobbed, lowering her head sadly. ''Looks what you have done, Theomars. Your hatred binds me with these women.'' Huo Yuhao rubbed his temple, ming Theomars von Admante''s hatred toward his sister. He knew this was partly his fault for getting railed in vengeance. Theomars is a victim, no mistake on this part. Do these sisters of his deserve the torture he makes them experience? Absolutely. Does Huo Yuhao care? Usually, not. Huo Yuhao was "briefly." influenced at his weakest mental point. And yes, it''s justified. He felt the gazes of these women and sighed, "It''s up to your performances..." "If you survive this war and follow my order properly, I''ll keep you on my side." He decided to give them a chance. After all, this ce wasn''t a simtion anymore. Evo''s linking this world with the homeworld through a particr tunnel confirmed Huo Yuhao''s suspicion about this emergency quest. "WE WILL DO OUR BEST~!" The six women suddenly shouted with all her might, which left Huo Yuhao stunned. Ah, he trained them too well. Is this a win? Huo Yuhao doesn''t know. Breaking the Spiritual Barrier, Huo Yuhao pped his hand to gain his ves'' attention and said, "Recover your inner energy and stamina. Wear the armors I made for you. We''llunch a counterattack to the monster race in ten minutes." "Nox, you stay." "Go!" The Admante Sisters left the room, wondering what Huo Yuhao wanted to do with Nox Alexandra. "Nox Alexandra... Make sure no one, including your true body, knows a thing about this." Huo Yuhaomanded, which caused the green-haired beauty to giggle. "Don''t worry." Nox Alexandra smiled at him. "My connection to the hive mind has been broken since entering this Shadow Warrior''s body. You should have realized this ten days ago, right?" "Even the current Alexandra or Alexy isn''t part of Nox Emperor''s incarnation. She''s her own person." Huo Yuhao didn''t say a thing for a moment and suddenly added, "And Titania too." "..." Nox Alexandra. "You know this whole star is her domain, no? It''s impossible-!." "You can''t?" "No, I obviously can do it!" "Then, do it." Nox Alexandra pouted andined, "Aih, you''re indeed her heir." "Don''t you want to take Krmine''s title too, master~? It''s way better than petty Valstrax and makes your overall power stronger than your current level. I guarantee that the power to rule a universe is no joking matter." "I''ll consider it." Huo Yuhao wore the ck Star Armor Sets. "Touch¨¦." Nox Alexandra sighed in defeat. Huo Yuhao didn''t reject nor ept her offer. He hasn''t met Nox Emperor herself, so not knowing the person he would inherit the title will be a hassle for now. Titania is a pain for him already. Huo Yuhao hasn''t mastered Ancient Ink Devil''s ability yet. Adding another one will break his bnce. ''You won''t talk to me, huh? Titania.'' He dismissed Nox Alexandra, stretching his body and entering an in-depth meditation on the floor. He wanted to form a Spiritual Core and Blood Core simultaneously, increasing his fighting power significantly. It''s a little bitte, but he could brute force it. The Spiritual/Mental Core is an umtion of Mental Energy in one''s mind and condensed to support one''s innate will. Huo Yuhao created one fast because he was skilled enough in this field. In the past, he rushed too much and forced Theomars'' body to follow his will. As for Blood Core, there is only Ancient Ink Devil''s blood in his body. Far easier to managepared to all bloodlines he had in the main body. Slowly. Slowly Huo Yuhao felt three forces rotate inside him, connecting and forming a trinity. There is the fourth force, but it contains the three like a boundless sea. [You have formed "Spiritual Core." and "Blood Core."] [You have gained the Trinity of Energy, Mind, and Body] [You have reprehended a skill] [Space Maniption] "Nice." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. "This makes everything easier now." "My cultivation is still at 10th ss(Peak), but I should be able to break through sooner orter." He nodded, drinking a ss of water to quench his thirst. "Let''s start." ... ... Iris and Brunhilde hovered in the sky, looking down on an enormous crater on a massive submerged mountain. Around 45 minutes ago, They spotted a blinking green light pouring out monsters in the capsule-like shell. It took them ten days to find this ce. "Iris, Brunhilde. I''ll be there in a second." "Get ready!" Huo Yuhao suddenly arrived with six women on his side. "Yes, my liege!" Iris and Brunhilde responded at the same time. Floating in the sky, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and covered the whole ocean around the Grand Marshal Mountain with his Observation Haki. He covered every corner, surrounding everything with his Eternal Shadow Realm. He wouldn''t let a single monster escape. [Objective: 12.679.402.118/100.000.000.001] Huo Yuhao is going to finish the emergency quest today. "Arise." Titania Bolos rotated slowly, letting the sunshine on another part of it. Yet, suddenly. A pir of darkness soared to the sky. It covered a quarter of Titania Bolos''s surface. BOOM! Death began to crawl out. The shadow ovepped the light, turning everything into a grayish world. Ashes flying everywhere, brandishing the army of death toward billions of monster races. A ck-haired young man with scarlet eyes stood in front of the army of death, covering himself with sturdy shadowy armor. He grasped the air and summoned a halberd, stabbing the ocean below him. BOOM! The shockwaves alerted the monster in the area. It was sudden, but the monster felt the same thing. Death. "Kill them all..." "Leave no survivor." ROAR! A loud battle cry echoed on the battlefield, starting the intense battle between Huo Yuhao''s army and Monster Race. SWOOSH! BOOM! Huo Yuhao jumped forward and greeted the monster race with a casual halberd thrust. "Fill my kill counts." He said indifferently. It was just a simple thrust. But everything immediately went into chaos. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! A wave of destruction prated the Grand Marshal Mountain''s surface and demolished a good chunk of it. Huo Yuhao''s attack exposed a crack underneath. However, unlike the one near ck Pearl Castle, this crack is muchrger andparable to the 4/5 continent of Australia. "Huh... Well, get into the rabbit hole." Huo Yuhao entered the gate, falling into apletely different dimension. Huo Yuhao was "immediately." greeted with a vast teau and dark surroundings. There is no source of light, but he can see clearly. From afar, he could see a purple forest tree with billions of cocoons hanging on the branch. Something is pulsating in those cocoons. "This teau... It''s floating above the abyss, a neverending ck hole." "Grrr... KROMAN!" A massive hand grabbed onto the teau. Huo Yuhao blinked and saw a giant-like monster the size of a literal mountain. This big boy is an 11th ss Monster. "UUGH, DIE!" The monster possessed the armadillo''s head, sucking the air and Huo Yuhao with great force. Huo Yuhao grinned and pointed his halberd at the monster, sending a small bubble of his energy. "Take that." The energy was "instantly." sucked by the monster and began to expand like no tomorrow, exploding when reaching a sufficient number. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "Inner Destruction: Bubble Burst." Huo Yuhao heard Evo''s notification. [You have killed a monster] "It just got started, hehe..." The shadow army followed Huo Yuhao into the portal and tainted the teau with dark patches. Looking at the giant corpse of the 11th ss Monster, Huo Yuhao grinned and opened his mouth. "Arise." Chapter 172: *Hidden Title* Chapter 172: *Hidden Title* --- Chapter 169 --- The Monster''s Dimension, or what people in the past known as the "Origin Womb." was a gray area where all monster races originated. It''s a chaotic ce, which is basically on life support. At first, only rough white rocks floated above aplete abyss that would swallow one for eternity if one fell into it. There is no blue sky or light source. Not even a single body of water. This ce is doomed. Nevertheless, the monster race persisted and evolved to survive in this environment, making their bodies much more durable and adaptable to any situation. Well, not for long. They wouldn''t adapt to Death. And Death always chases after you. BOOM! Thick shadowy me wisp exploded within the gray dimension, burning several floating rocks into ashes. A giant that seemed made of a blinking crimson-ck shadow moved through the explosion and threw a massive white rock toward the monster race''s breeding camp. ROAR! "ENEMY, ATTACK!" "ENEMY! THE RULER OF SHADOW IS HERE!" "HE HAS INFILTRATED OUR DIMENSION!" BOOM! Before the monster race could react, a rain of arrows ambushed them like no tomorrow. Since this dimension wasn''t that well-illuminated, it was hard to dodge a swarm of attacks. "ARGHHH!" The shadow army stepped into the breeding camp, rushing forward with their menacing-looking weapons. A shadow centaur triple the size of a normal one ran with all his might, swinging a twin battle ax. An extreme bloodlust exploded from the shadow centaur as his battle ax''s movement caused the whole camp to tumble around a little. "For OUR LIEGE!" The shadow centaur waved his battle axes, making a series of earthquakes. The shadow army wasn''t affected by this, advancing to eliminate the breeding camp. They bumped against millions of 10th-ss Monsters in this area but won in qualities as the darkness in this ce makes them more powerful. BOOM! CRACK! The massivend they currently inhabit was split in half, gaining attention from the 11th ss Monster nearby. "YOU TRAITOR!" A giant minotaur kicked the air and smashed the shadow warrior with its fist. "HOW DARE YOU BETRAY YOUR BRETHREN!" He was about the destroy the breeding camp with its massive hand, but a pink-haired woman suddenly appeared before him. "Thunder Roc''s Missiles." She pointed her finger at the minotaurs. Bam! A pir of light burned the minotaur''s head to a crisp, leaving only a thick skull. The pink-haired woman sped her hand firmly, summoning a massive bird with a wingspan of over 1000 miles. She grinned and looked at the lining rocks before her eyes, shooting a beam of destruction. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Another woman with light pink hair kicked an ind-like rock with her leg, sending it to another monster breeding camp nearby. Despite being a 10th ss Devil Warrior, her power exceeded that. BAM! The rock flew faster than one could see, causing rapid destruction. Several 11th-ss Monsters gathered far away, observing the situation with a discerning gaze. A fox-headed monster opened its mouth andmented, "This is bad." "We have lost 20% of our army. At this rate, the n will fail." A goat-headed sneered and said, "A bunch of peasant ants dares to step into my domain. Let me kill them for our glory." "It won''t take me five minutes to deal with them." "Wait!" Another monster shouted. It was an owl-headed monster with clear judgmental eyes. "We can''t attack rashly. I know it''s within our blood but from the report. The Ruler of Shadow might turn you into his shadow army too." "He''d swallow us if we got too railed by his advance." "Almost all 12th ss Monsters are busy trying to summon Nether God. We won''t get their help until the ritual is over." "We should pinpoint The Ruler of Shadow''s location and kill him quickly. That''s the only way for us to win." Hearing the wisest monster''s advice, the 11th ss Monsters shut their mouths for a moment. "Leave it to me." A brave-looking monster stepped forward. They looked at the lion-headed monster and sighed because this guy possessed the best sense out of all of them. "Go ahead, Leo." The owl''s head nodded in understanding. The lion-headed monster activated his Monster''s Blessing and saw the world around him from another perspective. He smelled something dangerous from afar. Something different. No, someone that awakened primal fear in Leo''s monster''s blood. Gasp! Leo suddenly arrived in a gloomy world, facing a terrifying pair of scarlet eyes. These eyes possessed devilish qualities beyond anything he had witnessed for his entire life. Within this bloody ocean, Leo could see an unparalleled shadow that could even devour the source of the universe. He instinctively shuddered and deactivated his Monster''s Blessing, puking blood. "Leo! What happened?!" The owl''s head supported his brethren, frowning at his current condition. "R-Run." "Run?" "W-We should run! NOW!" Leo screamed at the top of his lungs, leaving everyone speechless. SWOOSH! A winged-shadow warrior appeared before them, creating several pieces of weaponry coated with shadow energy. Sheunched severalnces at them and immobilized half of the 11th ss Monsters. The other half reacted, responding with their Monster''s Blessings. BOOM! Several manifestations and powers gathered in one ce, pushing the winged-shadow warrior into a tight spot. Well, they are far from injuring her. An unadulterated domain filled with crow feathers expanded from the winged-shadow warrior, resisting every power that came toward her. KACHA! The manifestation of the monster race''s abilities broke under the domain. "What!" "Impossible!" "My Monster''s Blessing is..." They are dumbfounded because this domain could resist their powers. TING! TING! A metal shing noise echoed in the gray dimension, making the monster nervous as the power of the sun and moon traveled across this poorly-lighted world. The shower of arrows descended from above, raining on the area near the winged-shadow warrior. These arrows are imbued with the power of stars, meaning that killing 11th ss Monsters isn''t so hard with it. THUD! THUD! THUD! The monsters couldn''t endure the attack and passed away on the spot with several holes in their bodies. And before they could fall into an endless abyss. The eternal shadow realm caught them. "Arise." That one word resonated, triggering something within the monster corpses. A horrifying scene unfolds in front of the monster race''s eyes. Their brethren became part of The Ruler of Shadow''s army. "NOOO!" The owl-headed monster shouted in dread. "Don''t worry, you''ll follow them soon." An armored shadow knight with dim bluish light appeared. He seemed to step on thin air, standing before the owl-headed monster. There is also a red light escaping its helmet. "Y-You-!" "The Ruler of Shadow-!" A halberd prated through the owl''s chest, destroying him from the inside. ... ... Huo Yuhao looked down at the owl''s corpse and said, "Arise." [You have sessfully turned Abyssal Owl Monster into Shadow Warrior] [You have sessfully turned Abyssal Lion Monster into Shadow Warrior] [You have sessfully turned Abyssal Wolf Monster into Shadow Warrior] [You have sessfully turned Abyssal Goat Monster into Shadow Warrior] [You have sessfully turned Abyssal Viper Monster into Shadow Warrior] [You have sessfully turned Abyssal Tiger Monster into Shadow Warrior] [You have sessfully turned Abyssal Unicorn Monster into Shadow Warrior] Huo Yuhao ignored Evo''s notification and read his new shadow warrior''s memory for a second, gaining information about another part of this dimension. He frowned and mumbled, "12th ss Monsters... The Nether God." "Sacrifice and Summoning." "Nox. Do you know something about this?" Being called by Huo Yuhao, Nox Alexandra poked her head out of the shadows and replied, "Hmm... I have never heard such a name before, master." "Even if I still have a connection to the hivemind, there is no such thing as "Nether God." recorded in this universe." "This being is probably an outsider." "Though, something does bother me." "Oh, Tell me?" Huo Yuhao broadened his senses even further. They have been fighting in this dimension for 18 hours and find no end to it. Nox Alexandra opened her mouth and replied, "If the rule and order Nox Emperor maintained are still going on. Then, the Everlith Universe couldn''t get invaded by an outside force." "Ah, nothing should be able to pass through." "But..." She nced at Huo Yuhao. "..." Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao facepalmed in realization because he was the one who triggered the Emergency Quest from Ancient Ink Devil''s bloodline. The System replicated the Millenium Crusade Event, assigning him a task to protect the castle and eradicate all the monster races. ''I''ll have a lot of questions after this, Evo...'' He thought while focusing on his problem first. [...] Gathering more information by conquering the monster''s dimension, Huo Yuhao and his shadow army arrived at the continental-sized floating rock. A pir of purple energy soared to the sky with several towers lit up by low-ssed monsters below it. Huo Yuhao could see a weird-looking pattern spreading across this floating rock, making the ground pulsate with a weird aura. As if this floating rock is alive, which Huo Yuhao is inclined to think so. Huo Yuhao blinked once, and a 12th ss Monster suddenly appeared out of nowhere, attacking him in the chest. It was a killing move for sure, aiming for his vital area. BOOM! CRACK! Huo Yuhao''s Eternal Shadow Armor was "slightly." cracked. Even the Armament Haki couldn''t protect him from that attack. "That. That didn''t kill you? How weird..." The 12th ss Monster before Huo Yuhao has a simr stature to that of a human. Instead of an animal''s head, this guy only has antlers on top of his head. Huo Yuhao kept his head calm and kicked the air below him,unching a roundhouse kick. It was "casually." caught by the 12th ss Monster, but Huo Yuhao immediately reacted and used "ripple." to vibrate everything around him. BAM! The monster got pushed away. Huo Yuhao didn''t stop and keptunching a bombardment of attacks, assessing the power of 12th ss Monsters. After exchanging some blows, he concluded something. BAM! "Kuugh! You damned kroman!" The monster was irritated because Huo Yuhao was deflecting his attack. Nothing passed through this weird defensive technique. Crack! Despite not receiving any damage himself, Huo Yuhao''s inner armor went through intense pressure against the 12th ss Monster. After all, The ck star armor set is only effective against being below 11th ss. CRACK! "What''s My liege doing?" Brunhilde couldn''t watch this fight. She knew Huo Yuhao shouldn''t have a problem fighting the low 12th ss Monster with his current strength. He literally blew peak 11th ss Monster into pieces with one attack. Behind the helmet, Huo Yuhao grinned and pushed his cultivation art to the utmost limit. His energy cores are rotating rapidly like no tomorrow. Crack! The inner armor is breaking apart, but Huo Yuhao doesn''t care. ''An opening!'' The 12th ss Devil Warrior saw a gap in Huo Yuhao''s movement. ''Now, Die!!'' Swinging his fist heavily, the 12th ss Devil Warrior punched Huo Yuhao''s chest with all his might. It causes a ss-shattering noise, but that''s it. Kacha! [Ding! You have leveled up] [You have breakthrough 11th ss Devil Warrior(Low)] [You have breakthrough 11th ss Devil Warrior(Mid)] [You have a breakthrough 11th ss Devil Warrior(High)] [You have attained 11th ss Devil Warrior(Peak)] [Due to the extreme amount of your Inner Energy, Mental Power, and Bloodline Prowess. You have leveled up] [You have entered into 12th ss Devil Warrior(Low)] [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves has leveled up to level 8] [Endless ck Ocean Art has reached level 21] "Thank you for the spar." Huo Yuhao genuinely said, clenching his right hand into a fist. "This-!" BAM! Huo Yuhao executed a simple yet powerful straight, connecting his fist to the 12th ss Monster''s face. It holds none of his energy but pure martial intent to destroy something. SWOOSH! KABOOM! The 12th ss Monster vanished into nothingness. A shockwave followed shortly after, brushing the massive continent-like floating rock slightly. It was just a slight touch and enough to shake the whole thing. Staring at the cause of his attack, Huo Yuhao breathed out and mumbled, "12th ss Devil Warrior... It''s close to a fake 3rd ss God in the Douluo Dalu Universe." "Well, it doesn''t matter." Over a thousand 12th-ss Monsters appeared and hovered above the continent-sized floating rock. They possessed a more intense presence than the one Huo Yuhao killed a second ago. It seemed the 2nd Emperor of the Karuta Empire made a mistake in his observation. There is more than he warned them about in his dying message. Well, Huo Yuhao couldn''t me him. "The real battle started now." "Everyone, follow me." Huo Yuhao moved with his halberd. "YES, MY LIEGE/MASTER~!!!" ... ... Three yearster. The monster''s dimension fell intoplete chaos. No, it was destruction. At the vastest piece ofnd, a pile of several billion monster corpses lying all over. Shadows are looming around, flickering like candlelight. A ck-haired young man with half-destroyed armor and helmet sat on the tallest pile of corpses. His lean yet muscr body is full of scars and fresh wounds after facing all the monsters in this ce. Yet, those red eyes keep shining menacingly. "Master. Maybe you should rest for a little." Mercy climbed onto the corpse pile. Her beautiful face is full of worry. Huo Yuhao drank a recovery potion and replied, "No, I can''t. There is still some monster left in this ce." "How long have we been fighting again? Three years? Well, I can still work with it." Indeed, Huo Yuhao has fought in this dimension for three years without stopping nor a single blink of sleep, ughtering every monster his eyes set on. [Objective: 99.999.999.000/100.000.000.001] "Just one thousand and one more..." Huo Yuhao''s eyes focused on the system panel. "Evo, my status." [Opening Status] [Name: Theomars von Valstrax(Huo Yuhao)] [Age: 22 years old] [Race: Ancient Ink Devil(Peak/99%)] [Cultivation: 12th ss Devil Warrior(Peak/Recultivated)] [Battle Power: Deity ss(Mid)] [Passive Skill: Ancient Devil''s Regeneration(SSS), Poison Immunity(SSS), Devil Force: Forced Plundering(S), Tracing(S+), Art Mastery(SS), Perfect Body(SSS), Perfect Control(SSS), Weapon Mastery(SSS+), Cold-Blooded(SS), Ogre King''s Devil me(SS), Steel-Like Body(SS), Moonlight Energy(SS), Beastification(SS)] [Active Skill: Darkness Maniption, Death Maniption, Spatial Maniption, All-Transforming Ink(SS+), Eternal Shadow(269.800+), Devil Trigger(SS), Ink Domain(SS+), Devil''s Taboo(SSS)] [Plundered Devil Force: Illusionary Manifestation(1 Use left)] [Technique: Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Haki(+), White Room''s Martial Arts, Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Endless ck Ocean Art] [Description: The Casten of ck Pearl Castle, Vasltrax''s only heir, Titania''s beloved, Nox Emperor''s beloved, and Monster ughterer] "Nonsense." Huo Yuhaomented when reading his description. Fixing his Eternal Shadow Armor, Huo Yuhao looked down at the corpse below his foot. "Arise... Let''s finish this quest." He said indifferently. BOOM! As thest monster camp was pletely." destroyed by Huo Yuhao, there was only one ce left where they could live. They are the strongest of the strongest from the monster race, possessing power above the 12th ss Monster despite being one. Huo Yuhao and his shadow army arrived at the center of this dimension, finding exactly 1000 thousand 12th ss Monsters. "Oh well, you guys are greeting me? That''s rare." Huo Yuhao mocked while grasping his halberd. The monsters responded quietly. They red at Huo Yuhao with hatred and fury because this person ughtered their brethren like they were grass. "There is no discussion left in this situation. It is a full-blown war between you guys and me." "Let''s end this already..." "SACRIFICIAL LAMB FORMATION!" Ten 12th ss Monsters surrounded Huo Yuhao and the shadow army. "ACTIVATE!!!" The monsters seemed to possess a formation technique, making Huo Yuhao slightly weak. The formation is nothing special and a primitive form of an unknownnguage spell. [A powerful curse: "Heart-Devouring and Soul-Destroying Curses." nted on your soul] [Nether God has marked your soul] [All Stats reduced by 25%] [DING! You have finished the second stage of the Millenium Crusade] [You have started the final phase] [Nether God''s Arrival] [Final Phase started in 30 minutes] [Warning! Kill two Monster Monarchs before it is toote. Or the Nether God would be able to use 100% of his power] The 800 of the 12th ss Monsters split into two groups, eating each other to be the two most "powerful." monsters ever recorded in history. After the ritual, a twin monster with the appearance of a young girl and a boy floated silently above the ck hole. They didn''t possess special features besides the gleaming slitted golden eyes. They opened their eyes and stared at Huo Yuhao. "Kill." "Kill." An innocent, sounded voice echoed in the monster''s dimension. Huo Yuhao felt a shiver in his spine, turning around and thrusting his halberd to empty air. BAM! He was "suddenly."unched several kilometers away. "That''s new..." Huo Yuhao licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. [Name: Unknowns] [Race: Monster(Ultimate)] [Battle Power: Deity(Mid)] "Master/My Liege!" The shout of worryes from his servant. Huo Yuhao raised his hand, indicating that he was okay from the sneak attack. "Focus on your side. They might have only one hundred 12th-ss Monsters left there, but they are the strongest of the strongest." "I''ll deal with this twin monster." The Shadow Army understood the assignment, starting to march forward and attacking the one hundred 12th ss Monsters left. Admante Sisters also dropped down on the battlefield and supported the best they could. Huo Yuhao lifted the halberd and dodged a w attack from the twin''s monsters. They seemed able to transform or use any monster abilities freely. nk! He threw his halberd at the female Monster Monarch and watched the male one approaching him from behind. His hand was coated with an advanced version of Armament Haki, blocking an iing tusk. BAM! He quickly kicked the male Monster Monarch, teleporting himself to the halberd. The female Monster Monarch seemed to anticipate this movement, but she was wrong. CRACK! Huo Yuhao let out a bubble-like energy st from his palm, making the Female Monster Monarch''s eyes widen. It was too fast for her to defend herself, having no choice but to create a meat shield from her flesh. BOOM! The Female Monster Monarch''s left arm turned into this fleshy abomination, pulsating with power. Huo Yuhao''s bubbles can pass through her arm but are not strong enough to reach her body. "KILL!" The Male Monster Monarch appeared and stabbed Huo Yuhao from behind with his tusk-like hand. It pierced Huo Yuhao''s abdomen sessfully. "Behind you-!" The Female Monster Monarch alerted her twin. BOOM! Huo Yuhao exploded into a mist of ink, allowing the real Huo Yuhao to m his fist into Male Monster Monarch''s spine. This punch is dangerous and possesses the strength to blow a small apart. SWOOSH! BAM! CRACK! Huo Yuhao could feel the spine of the Male Monster Monarch getting broken into pieces, which also applies to all the bones within its body. However, it''s not as effective as he thought. "Kill." The Male Monster Monarch''s fleshtched onto Huo Yuhao''s fist and shone with a crimson ray. The light is blinking rapidly before exploding. "Damn-!" Huo Yuhao cursed while shielding himself. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Everything within 1000 miles was "literally." covered with an intense explosion. For a moment, the monster''s dimension got illuminated with bright light. The scorching temperature was simr to that of the Big Bang''s heat. Cough! "Haa... I almost died there." Huo Yuhao spewed a mouthful of blood, having all his Eternal Shadow Armor stripped out by the explosion. He consumed too much inner energy to resist the explosion, or he would get fatally injured. And possibly burned to nothingness on the spot. He knew the shadow army and his ves were fine as they got protected by Eternal Shadow Realm. The problem is the Monster Monarch themselves. "Fucking hell, you''re still alive." The Male Monarch has turned into a lump of flesh, steadily growing back into his original form. He obviously consumed an insane amount of life force to execute that suicide-like attack, which left Huo Yuhao frowning. "Kill." He chased after Huo Yuhao again. "Kill." The Female Monster Monarch followed too. Huo Yuhao entered a stance andmented, "Come on. We don''t have much time left." BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! In a dark dimension, Huo Yuhao battled against the twin Monster Monarchs. He waved his halberd calmly, creating a wave that repelled every iing attack. After observing the Deity-level enemies, Huo Yuhao discovered their fighting was "strictly." based on animalistic instinct. The twin would transform their body part into a monster, attacking him like prey. Huo Yuhao breathed in using Universal Breathing Technique, expanding his danger sense to another level. He stepped into the space and dodged sharp-looking teeth. BAM! He caught the Female Monster Monarch''s crab pinchers, attacking her shoulder joints. "Bubble Burst." He adds Inner Destruction to the Female Monster Monarch''s body when he makes contact with her. He would immobilize them slowly before using one of his trump cards. Twenty-five minutester, Huo Yuhao and the twin monster monarch arrived on the edge of Monster''s Dimension. They have destroyed 90% of this ce, ripping everything apart. Breathing heavily, Huo Yuhao looked at the iing attacks from both of them. ''They are slower for some reason...'' His red eyes dted slightly. ''No, my technique finally affects them. No matter how powerful their physique was, Inner Destruction powered with indefinite rotation energy waves is impossible to resist.'' ''Which means... It''s time to end this.'' "Kill!" The Twin Monster Monarch lunged toward Huo Yuhao. However, to the Monster Monarchs'' surprise, Huo Yuhao suddenly threw away his halberd and opened his arm wide. He allowed them to attack him. STAB! Huo Yuhao''s chest is "brutally." prated by the twin monsters, exposing his heart and many other things. Hugging the monsters, Huo Yuhao smiled and whispered, "Ink Domain: Absolute Moon World." A drop of ink escaped Huo Yuhao''s body, covering him and the monsters in liquid darkness. It expanded greatly and covered the whole monster''s dimension in a matter of a second. Huo Yuhao pushed Ink Domain to the limit, intending to seal this ce alongside it. "DIE!" "DIE!" The Monster Monarch shouted angrily, but Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Within Ink Domain, which I have enhanced with my Devil''s Taboo. All attacks are useless against me." "This is my world." "This is my domain." "Shuush, children should go to sleep." Huo Yuhao patted the twin Monster Monarch''s head gently. The Ink World swallowed the Monster''s Dimension whole and abruptly condensed back into a drop of ink, leaving nothing behind. Huo Yuhao unsummoned all his shadow army and hurriedly jumped out of the crack. He crashed onto Grand Marshal Mountain, which is no longer submerged in seawater because his attack had dropped the sea level of this world. "Almost there." He sighed and heard Evo''s notification. [You have killed the Twin Monster Monarch] [Objective: 100.000.000.000/100.000.000.001] [The Final Phase has started] [Sabotage Nether God''s n to conquer Titania Bolos] Huo Yuhao''s expression bes solemn all of a sudden. TING! He shuddered uncontrobly and saw a purple-skinned hand with sharp w-like fingers pass through his chest, which had regenerated a few seconds ago. "I can''t sense-." Huo Yuhao nced back and discovered a faceless humanoid being with purple skin and ck markings all over its body. He was speechless because this guy''s grin reached his elf-like purple ears. "So, you''re the Ruler of Shadow? I praised you for defeating my sacrificialmb but with your current strength." The Nether God said arrogantly. "Even a thousand of you aren''t enough to fight me." "Such trash. As expected of this 2nd-ss Microsome Universe." "Oh well, there aren''t many Deity Level Beings here. Conquering this ce shouldn''t even take a year for this majestic me." Huo Yuhao grabbed the hand that pierced his chest and used all his strength to bend it away. "Do you think destroying my heart will be enough to kill me..." He said indifferently. "Dream on." Huo Yuhao ignited all his cores, activating his Devil Trigger instantly. "My will is eternal." The Nether God''s grin widened, warping his faceless face with a spiral-like shape. "Hahaha... How ungrateful." Huo Yuhao suddenly couldn''t feel anything. Even his passive and active skills seemed not to work. "I have sealed your soul source. And overwrite your whole being with my authority. After this, you''ll experience pain beyond mortal belief and die out of agony." "Dream well and Never wake up... Lowly shadow." Nether God ripped Huo Yuhao''s head and crushed it like a grape. His headless body turned into a bloody ck mist a secondter. The Nether God stretched his hand andughed maniacally. "HAHA!" "HAHAHA~!!" "FINALLY! THIS WORLD SHALL BE MINE!" "I''LL TAKE THIS WORLD AND RENAME IT NETHER GOD REALM!" [You have died] [You have used "Illusionary Manifestation." before your Death] [You have fulfilled a condition to master "Eternal Shadow."] [You have met the final requirement to activate Ancient Ink Demon''s True Power] [You have resisted Soul-Altering Ability with a unique perk: Endless Soul Waves] [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves reacted upon your Death] [A wisp of primordial will awakened] [Titania von Valstrax called you to her realm] [After further observation, the System decides to ept it...] [Moving Host''s Soul to Three Thousand Ink Worlds of End...] [...] [...] [...] Chapter 173: Huo Yuhao vs Nether God Chapter 173: Huo Yuhao vs Nether God --- Chapter 170 --- [You have entered the Three Thousand Ink Worlds of End] In a pure white world, Titania was lying on the floor with a smile on her face and looking at the sky. After roughly five years, her sessor finally reached the milestones for inheriting Ancient Ink Devil''s True Power. Well, the requirement is rather unorthodox but effective. Anyone who inherited Ancient Ink Devil''s blood has to die twice and survive the second death with pure will alone. The physical body is useless as only the powerful shall shine the brightest in this Ink World. Titania has never seen anyone survive this trial except for Theomars von Admante. Regarding the Admante Family, Satanichia von Admante gained Titania''s attention in the past but ultimately failed at the second death stage as she was too weak-willed to abandon her family. That woman passed away shortly after. Such a shame. However, several hundred yearster, her great-grandson actually met Ancient Ink Devil''s trial condition. If this isn''t fate, Titania doesn''t know anymore. "Hmm?" "Wait... What''s this?" Titania rubbed her eyes continuously, seeing a naked young man arrive in her domain. And it wasn''t Theomars. "Who?" A tall young man stood in the white world. He''s the pr opposite of Theomars von Admante, having clean blue hair, royal blue eyes, and an exquisite handsome face. His lean yet muscr body seemed to carve by the universe''s will to despise males in existence, exuding a wless sheen. Handsome is an understatement to describe this young man. ''And his thing is massive!'' Titania looked at the monster between the blue-haired young man''s thighs. Huo Yuhao blinked twice and breathed out, rubbing his neck as the sensation of getting ripped apart was new. He sighed because Scathach was correct about something. Death is stale and boring. It''s a peaceful moment after his life ended, but that''s it. Everything around him bes limbo, waiting to move forward once again. After adjusting himself, Huo Yuhao cleared his throat and reviewed Nether God''s power again. He smiled weakly because he eventually found an impressive opponent after a while. Yes, A real opponent that reduced him to this state. Even if Huo Yuhao wasn''t in the best condition, he still counted this as a loss. Huo Yuhao turned around and greeted Titania with a small smile, "Hi there, Titania." "You must be confused. Am I right?" Titania frowned because this way of talking does resemble Theomars, but more gentle in a way. "W-Who are you?! Where is my Theo?!" She raised her voice immediately. "Here." Huo Yuhao pointed at himself. "To be exact, there is no Theomars von Admante in the first ce. He has long died and disappeared off this world, allowing me to inhibit his body." "My name is Huo Yuhao. The Ruler of Dragon Nest." "I''m from a faraway ce and transmigrated to Theomars'' body. You didn''t know about this information because I used a special technique to prevent my info from leaking outside." The Ancient Ink Devil scowled andmented, "Three years ago... Before you were going to Grand Marshal Mountain. No wonder I couldn''t monitor the ck Pearl Castle." "Correct." Huo Yuhao chuckled amusingly. "I have an amazing teacher, you see." "I felt cheated..." Titania mumbled to herself. "This isn''t part of my master n... I was about to reincarnate you to be my hus-! I mean my true heir." Huo Yuhao shook his head in delight andmented, "I know you were nning something. After rejecting me for three years, you must have a word with Nox Alexandra about me, no? It was so easy to guess." "I''m not that clueless, Titania. My mental state is somewhat awkward in the past, but not anymore." "This world where you always drag me in is the core of Titania Bolos, which exins why you couldn''t see my soul. You always see the outeryer, Theomars von Valstrax." "The mystery is solved, finally." "..." Titania couldn''t refute Huo Yuhao''s words. After all, she wasn''t checking on his soul even once, believing Theomars was the most talented heir of Valstrax. And how wrong she was. "Don''t make that face. You want to give something to me, right?" Huo Yuhao chuckled, sitting on the white world. His presence is calm and full of confidence, making Titania sigh in defeat. "I''ll dly take it." Titania rubbed her forehead and sat straight like Huo Yuhao, staring at his royal blue eyes. They are indeed beautiful, like the boundless sky itself. ''Well, he''s more handsome than before... I don''t mind.'' She thought while reaching into her chest. ''And Another World, he said? That sounds exciting, hehe.'' Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened as Titania exposed her bare chest, pouring out the white mountain with a pinkish peak. However, what surprised him wasn''t that. "Back when the Everlith Universe was born. Ancient Ink Devil and Ancient Godlight Devil manifested alongside it. The Ancient Godlight Devil is the manifestation of the beginning and all creation after the universe. And Ancient Ink Devil is the manifestation of the end and all ends following it." "Ancient Ink Devil ranked the lowest not because she was weak, but to bnce to the highest rank..." "There is no world without Ink. It overwrites fate and destiny, turning something into reality. It also ends anything that touches it..." Titania stabbed her chest decisively and pulled her second beating heart, sttering the white world with ck blood. She moved to Huo Yuhao and said, "Oh, the Ruler of Dragon Nest from another world, Huo Yuhao..." "Will you ept my second heart? Will you take the Ancient Ink Devil''s power and shine the brightest to end this world''s enemy?" Titania''s red hair flowed wildly, and her golden eyes shone like a sun. Huo Yuhao stared at Titania calmly and answered, "I will." Titania smiled satisfyingly, reaching for Huo Yuhao''s lust-inducing chest this time. She pushed her beating heart and made a firm connection with him. Huo Yuhao''s eyes shut down as overflowing energy invaded his soul, creating a link to Titania. He let out a small grunt and endured the extreme pain. "Hmph, you should pay me backter, Huo Yuhao." "Having my heart is not a joking matter. With it, you''ll be my eternal partner. That''s why Kroman has two hearts, you know?" [Ding! You have fully awakened and absorbed Ancient Ink Devil''s Bloodline] [You have received "Primordial Ink Heart." and met the condition to use all of Fairy King''s Canvas abilities] [All Skills rted to Ancient Ink Devil have upgraded by one grade] [All-Transforming Ink has evolved to Primordial Ink] [Ding! Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves has leveled up to level 10] [You now couldmunicate to the unknown distant universe] [Endless ck Ocean Arts has evolved to Endless Primordial Sea Art upon reacting to Ancient Ink Bloodline] [You have finished Grand Marshal Mountain''s Cracks Quest] [Rewarding Grand Duchess Ink Devi''s Quill(SSS)] Huo Yuhao''s senses slowly be sharper and sharper with each second, immersing himself in this situation. He picked many small things around him and realized they were the subject of the higherponent, such as fundamental elements andws of the universe. He opened his eyes slowly, witnessing the world from apletely different than usual. Even though Huo Yuhao possessed Lesser Divine Sense, the state he''s currently in is something else. Everything bes clean. The single drop of Ink seemed to capture the universe, holding it within a frame. This frame is small, around the size of Huo Yuhao''s palm, but contains the secret of the universe. ''A soul from Another World. His imagination sure is amazing.'' Titania shook her head gently, observing Huo Yuhao''s adaptation to her power. She extended her hand to Huo Yuhao''s face and caressed it warmly, striking his lips with hers. It''s filled with passion. "Wake up..." "My dear Oberon." ... ... On the surface of Titania Bolos, The Nether God stepped onto the continent and spread his influence. His purple aura exploded excitedly and created several monsters made of Nether Energy. He snapped his finger casually, causing an earthquake to shake the whole world. "YES, LET''S START BY REFORMING THIS UGLY STAR, HAHAHA." "MY NETHER GOD REALM SHALL STAND!" After killing the Ruler of Shadows, Nether God went to the nearest natives of this world. He called upon one of them and ordered them to give up, surrounding themselves with him. However, something unexpected happens. "SURRENDER, YOU WORM!" "I''LL CONSIDER YOUR LOWLY PROSTRATING AS THE HUMBLE NEW BEGINNING TO YOUR RACE." "WE WON''T GIVE UP!" Someone suddenly shouted at the Nether God. A young woman with a beautiful appearance floated in the sky. She has pearly white hair and bright blue eyes, wearing a pure white battle dress. Yes, she is Lily de Kemos. "Oh?" The Nether God tilted his head amusingly. "A small, pitiful Ant dares to talk back?" "Witness my power, you lowly being." He waved his hand casually, destroying everything behind Lily into pieces of debris. BOOM! A purple pir of light exploded and soared to the sky. The sky and earth are touching, spreading ashes everywhere. Arge portion of Titania Bolos is sunken deeply and turned into a deep crater. It was a frightening sight. Using such a simple and casual gesture, The Nether God could cause so much destruction. However, Lily de Kemos didn''t even flinch. She fearlessly stared at the Nether God and responded, "And?" "That''s it? You want to scare me with such destruction. I lost someone precious to me long ago..." "Do you think this can cause me more despair than that? You might be a True Deity with immense power and authority, so what? I, Lily de Kemos, won''t drop myself to an ugly level." "I''d rather die and suffer for eternity than give up." "Do you know why? Because I achieved everything I promised to that person." After a long war, Lily de Kemos and the Alliance were able to wipe out the monster waves. They had lived peacefully for three years, knowing a danger woulde sooner orter. After all, that person promised to return once sealing the crack on Grand Marshal Mountain was. As long as hees back, Titania Bolos will thrive. "Hmm..." The Nether God teleported to Lily''s side. He choked her neck firmly and felt the bone behind the fair flesh, lifting with a bad mood. "Those eyes of yours are disgusting." Hemented, but Lily didn''t falter. Her eyes kept shining brightly without an ounce of fear. "Oh, you said that person before, no? Is that person perhaps the Ruler of Shadow? In that case, I have killed your only hope." "See this." He flicked his finger, summoning a pulp of blood and bones. It moved like a squirming worm, forming Theomars von Admante''s head and face. "!!!" Lily''s eyes widened in shock. ''No, this can''t be.'' "PFFT! HAHAHA, YES! That face of despair." The Nether God crushed the head on his hand like a grape again, forcing it into Lily''s mouth. "Here, you can have your Ruler of Shadow." "I''m sure he will be able to be reunited with you." Lily could feel a mouthful feeling invade her tongue. She wanted to puke, but remembering Theomars'' moment with her, she endured everything. She stared at the Nether God hatefully and activated her Devil''s Taboo, causing a white light to escape her body. The Nether God stabbed Lily''s stomach with his hand. Cough! Lily choked on the air and spewed blood from the corner of her mouth. "Useless attempt." The Nether God chuckled, pulling Lily''s guts out and wrapping them around her neck like a ne. "Yes, this suits you more." "Now, Witness my reign over this world." The Nether God dragged Lily like an animal and made her see him destroying several settlements the alliance had built in thest three years. Millions of lives passed away, but none surrendered to the Nether God. Even when "Death.'' approached them, all the Kroman acted happily and embraced theirst moment with satisfied smiles. No matter how old or young they were. Agitated by this situation, the Nether God summoned several meteors and destroyed another city. WHY?! WHY THESE LOWLY BEINGS DIDN''T FEAR HIM?! HOW DARE THEY?! Anger arose within the Nether God as he came here to conquer this world. And without fear, his influence couldn''t grow further than the True Deity level. Crossing into this world consumed a lot of energy, so the Nether God bes angrier when thinking about it. "Haha... Too bad." Lily de Kemosughed gracefully. "Do you think everything will go as you nned?" "Wake up, oh great Nether God? Nothing goes as nned in this ce." "Do you know why?" Lily grinned and continued, "Because this world only has one rightful ruler." "SHUT THE FUCK UP, WOMAN!" The Nether God kicked Lily to the ground, destroying every bone in her body. A mere 11th ss Devil Warrior couldn''t resist such an attack. And usually, any living being like Lily would die with extreme impact, but the Nether God thought that would be too easy for her. BOOM! A mushroom-shaped cloud soared into the sky. Lily spewed some glob of blood, staring at the brownish-blue sky with a small smile. Her vision bes hazy as the Nether God''s silhouette descends on her. ''Are you really dead, Your Highness?'' A thought shed in Lily''s head. ''Are you really won''te and save us? I knew this was a hopeful thought that meant nothing, but you''ll be here, right? After all, you make us believe in you.'' The Nether God lifted his hand and tried to use telekinesis to grab Lily''s body, but someone suddenly grabbed his hand. "Well, I was a bitte." A clear voice with a manner of speaking Lily was familiar with and longed for years echoed in this destroyednd. ''Ah... What''s this feeling? My eyes are tearing up.'' Lily tried to open her eyes, wanting to witness that young man''s appearance again. "No, go to sleep, Lily." "You''re doing the best. I''m proud of you." A warm sensation overflowed Lily''s body, restoring her health and condition to normal. "W-Wee back, Your Highness." Lily de Kemos finally smiled peacefully. "Y-YOU!" The Nether God looked at Huo Yuhao with a shocked movement. "YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED! YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED AND SUFFERED FOR ETERNITY WITH THE CURSE?!!" Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "You see... I''m somewhat resistant to Soul-Rted Ability." "You might destroy my physical body, but everything is here at the end of the day." He pointed at his heart, specifically his soul. "As I said before, My Will is Eternal." The Nether God''s faceless face frowned because a small fry shouldn''t be able to resist his authority, but here we are with the Ruler of Shadow. Even though the Ruler of Shadow''s appearance changed, the spark within is still the same. Weird. ''Those eyes...'' The Nether God felt a weird sensation when being stared at by Huo Yuhao''s eyes. It''s not a pair of eyes a lowly being could possess. Huo Yuhao smiled at the Nether God and said, "Let''s change the ce, shall we?" "I don''t want to destroy Titania Bolos and dirty it with your remains." "My contractor will be mad." "What are you-!" The Nether God was about to release his authority, but a hand suddenly mmed him hard to the sky. BOOM! The cloud dispersed, parting into two parts. BAM! CRACK! The Nether God struck into the Moon, groaning because that attack caught him off guard. It was too fast. Huo Yuhao kicked the ground and appeared on the Nether God''s side, adjusting to the Moon''s gravity. He let out a warming-up haze from his mouth, staring at the Nether God calmly. There is no anger in his eyes. Only an intent to defeat and destroy this faceless motherfucker to nothingness. "Stand up. We aren''t finished with our fight yet." "You lowly bastard..." The Nether God fixed his dislocated jaw. "DIE, NETHER AUTHORITY!" SWOOSH! An eruption of energy exploded from the Nether God''s body, but a jet-ck substance suddenly covered the whole Moon and nullified it immediately. "Fairy Ink Canvas''s 4th Ability: Primordial''s Rejection." Huo Yuhao pulled out a scroll from his inventory, opening it to expose a clean white te of paper. He flicked his finger and summoned the Grand Duchess''s Quill, an old-looking quill made of brownish metal and golden feathers ornament. It also has a gaping end, which is sucking his blood. "Don''t even bother to call for help. Primordial Rejection is the perk to reject any will besides its user. It doesn''t matter if you were a god, devil, or monstrous creature." "Hmph!" The Nether God scoffed. He pointed his finger at Huo Yuhao and said, "Fine, I''ll show you that petty tricks like this are nothing for me." "Nether God''s w!" BOOM! A massive w filled with a dreadful aura emerged from thin air, moving toward Huo Yuhao at an rming speed. Huo Yuhao casually stroked the quill onto the Fairy King''s Canvas and created a straight line, manifesting a pir of darkness to face the Nether God''s w. BAM! The two attacks shed fiercely, creating energy sparkes. Bright blue light and purple rays burst, blinding the Moon. "Not bad." Huo Yuhao smirked, looking at the Grand Duchess Ink Devil''s Quill. It increases his proficiency upon activating Ancient Ink Devil''s skill and applies more force to each manifestation. Meanwhile, The Nether God was shocked. ''This lowly creature... He was able to counter my Nether God''s w.'' ''No, It must be a fluke! It can''t be real.'' The Nether God raised his faceless head and charged an even more powerful attack to kill Huo Yuhao. "Nether God''s Scythe." Huo Yuhao saw a massive scythe overshadowing the Moon, blocking the sun from reaching this ce. Its sheer size and power are definitely stronger than 2nd ss God. Not wanting to lose, Huo Yuhao immediately drew something on the Fairy King''s Canvas. "HAHAHA! IT''S USELESS! Nether God''s Scythe is an absolute killing skill that could kill anything on its path. It erases the concept of living and overwrites everything with my authority." "DIE, YOU LOWLY ANT!!" Huo Yuhao put the Fairy King''s Canvas with one hand and pointed it at the iing attack. "Come, Naga." He said with a grin, summoning a massive western dragon with purplish-ck scales. ROAR! BOOM! Naga''s body poured out from the Fairy King''s Canvas and erased half of the Moon. This dragon was too big for his good. The Chaotic Purgatory Dragon opened its mouth and showered the cold yet dark spaces with purple Thunderfire. The me erupted continuously and overshone the sun for a couple of seconds. The Moon is melting because of it, but Huo Yuhao cares less. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! As everything was "literally." engulfed by the Thunderfire, Huo Yuhao shielded himself with Fairy King''s Canvas and watched his best friend''s me illuminating the whole fucking sr system. It seemed Naga wasn''t exaggerating when saying he was the strongest dragon in his universe. The "Everlith Universe." is massive, but for a second. A purple light seemed to ignite up the corner of it with extreme heat. ''I might know why Naga always refuses to exin how his universe vanished alongside every living being in it...'' Huo Yuhao thought while slowly uncovering himself. He checked out Titania Bolos and discovered the small star was fine, as Titania probably protected it from her domain. "B-Bastard..." The Nether God burned to a crisp. His entire body turned pitch ck after enduring the Chaotic Purgatory me, and being a deity with the innate sin of fear makes things worse. He red at Huo Yuhao and rushed toward him, unleashing a weird-looking sword. Huo Yuhao rolled the Fairy King''s Canvas and dodged The Nether God''s attack, tilting his head to the left from this guy''s vexation. He waved his hand and kicked the ground, creating a wave motion. BAM! CLANK! A halberd appeared on Huo Yuhao''s hand, countering the Nether God''s weapon. "DIE!" "DIE!" "DIE!!!" Huo Yuhao followed the rhythm and used "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist." to deflect the Nether God''s attacks. He also incorporated "White Room''s Martial Arts." to counter-strike the Nether God. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Moon has melted down already, leaving only a floating rock in the warm space. Huo Yuho and the Nether God exchanged blows intensely, causing a ripple around them. The fabric space is tearing apart because of them, revealing several muddy-like voids. BAM! Huo Yuhao''s face was "heavily." mmed by the Nether God''s fist, but instead of receiving damage, he immediately countered with a quick left hook. It was swift, making the Nether God daze for a moment. It''s more than enough time for Huo Yuhao to gather "Ripple." in the air and kick the Nether God''s torso. The infinite rotation energy made the attack incredibly fatal for anyone as it destroyed even the target''s cell. CRACK! BOOM! The aftereffect caused the Moon''s piece to get blown apart. The Nether God wasunched into the burning sun, growling in pain because Huo Yuhao''s energy remained in his body. Huo Yuhao pulled his left arm back, flexing his muscle intensely, and threw a stream-like punch. "Water Stream World Smashing Fist: KAI!" ''This is...'' The Nether God was speechless. His face made contact with Huo Yuhao''s punch, injuring himself even further. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! The wisp of the sun got red out, shaking the shining star a little. "NOT YET!" Huo Yuhao booted the rubble left behind by the Moon andunched ashing kick. "Frontal Kick." "Heart Smashing." "Head Execution." The Nether God might not have eyes, but he could witness Huo Yuhao split into three for a split second. Three kicking strikesnded on his body, weakening several body parts. BOOM! The sun red even more than before, blinking a few times. The heat doesn''t affect Huo Yuhao as he focuses more on defeating the Nether God. And The Nether God knew what Huo Yuhao was thinking. Huo Yuhao had thrust his halberd, but the distance between him and the Nether God was quite far. "NOT SO EASY!" The Nether God ripped his left arm, causing the space around them to warp. "You can''t reach me, HAHAHA~!" "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao''s following action shocked the Nether God. He kicked the halberd with all his might and sent the polearm flying like a shooting star. As the halberd is an Ego Weapon, it also possesses a unique ability. "Increase your weight by 10 million fold, Dosa." "Drown that faceless Thanos to the core of the sun!" BOOM! The halberd elerated even more, driving the Nether God at the sun. "ARGGGHHHH!" The Nether God roared in pain. "ANT! ANT!" "ANT! ANT! ANT!" "DO YOU THINK AN ANT LIKE YOU COULD KILL ME!" Huo Yuhao grinned and replied, "But they can..." The Fairy King''s Canvas expanded greatly, exposing several drawings Huo Yuhao made before confronting the Nether God. A Mythical Qilin jumped out of the scroll, jumping around the space in a giddy mood. Then, a pink Nine-Tailed Fox followed and floated near the sun with a foxy smile. Andstly, a literal manifestation of the God yer herself. "KILL HIM!" Huo Yuhao indifferently said. Naga''s wings expanded, causing a chaotic space storm in the area. He opened his eyes and sted the sun with Thunderfire. The Mythical Qilinbined the five fundamental elements and stripped Nether God''s luck indirectly. The Nine-Tailed Fox let out azy yawn and cast a powerful Illusion to keep the Nether God''s divine sense in ce. And the God yer stood on the Moon''s piece, throwing a red spear with all her might. A red sh traveled through space and struck the sun''s core. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! "ARGGGHHHH!!!" The Nether God was "firmly." struck on the sun''s core with a ck halberd and red spear on his chest. He furiously wanted to escape this ce, but nothing was possible with his current power. "HOW DARE YOU-!" Before the Nether God could even finish his sentence, Huo Yuhao drew something in the Fairy King''s Canvas and manifested something. A de slowly emerged from the scroll, fusing with the Grand Duchess Ink Devil''s Quill. Huo Yuhao infused the edge with his energy and shed his sword gently. "Fairy King''s Sword sh." "Oberon, the Truth." The reality turned upside down as a clear straight line traveled through the sr system. Everything crumbled rapidly and swallowed the sun into the void. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The Sr System lost its color as the source of light disappeared. The Cosmic Storm is brewing for a few seconds. Huo Yuhao immediately took a quick measure and created a new sun with his Tracing skill. ... ... "I..." "I WON''T DIE..." "I WON''T DIE SO EASILY!" "THAT''S WHY I''LL TAKE EVERYTHING FROM YOU!!!" A furious shout echoed in the quiet space. Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise, seeing thest wisp of energy from the Nether God flying away to Titania Bolos. ''For fuck sake.'' Huo Yuhao cursed to himself. He quickly drew something on the Fairy King''s Canvas as his martial arts wouldn''t reach in time. In this brief moment, time seems to stop around him. Huo Yuhao entered a brief trance and let out a small whisper. "The Drawing of Heaven and Earth." A divine construct, specifically a miniature world with functioningws, surrounded the Nether God''s attack. It contained the star-copsing attack and self-destructed. BOOOOOOOOOOOM! SWOOSH! FWIP! The miniature world exploded and condensed into a grain of dark rice. "N-No way..." The Nether God''s defeated voice slowly faded into nothingness. [DING! You have finished the Emergency Quest] "..." Huo Yuhao breathed heavily, floating in the space with an exhausted look. Using Tracing rapidly like that consumed an immense amount of energy. He breathed out and whispered, "Phew..." "I''m tired..." "But I''m done with Emergency Quest." A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. Chapter 174: Emergency Quests End Chapter 174: Emergency Quest''s End --- Chapter 171 --- After erasing the Nether God''s existence from the Everlith Universe, one year went on very quickly. Titania von Vasltrax revived everyone killed in the ident and even rebuilt some empires, so the Kroman in her domain could live easier. However, despite the crisis, the ck Pearl Castle sessfully became a religious ce that only the leader of an empire could visit. And considering how much Huo Yuhao portrayed when fighting the Nether God, it was understandable. Now, you might wonder. Why did Huo Yuhao decide to stay one more year in Titania Bolos when he had already finished his Emergency Quest? The answer is pretty simple, Titania''s request because she wanted him to pay her back, and Nox Emperor, who likes to hand over the "Everlith Universe." to him. He "officially." conquered the Everlith Universe and added it to his Main Quest''s objective, despite notpleting the Highschool DxD first. Is this a work of fate? Huo Yuhao honestly didn''t know. After experiencing the cliche transmigration quest, Huo Yuhao realized he wasn''t that invincible or omnipotent. He also has weaknesses here and there, but giving up won''t solve them. Of course, Huo Yuhao still wanted to retain his first life as everything rted to his adopted mother seemed gone. He couldn''t even remember her name, having a horrible headache every time he tried to recall it. That''s his first goal. The second one is the Greatest Upgrading System''s origin. Such a flexible yet powerful system wouldn''t exist without its creator, no? What kind of being actually created Evo? Huo Yuhao has been wondering for almost 19 years about this matter but decided to cease his curiosity because developing the Dragon Nest and conquering another world were more important at the time. Well, the future would unfold the mystery sooner orter. ... ... At the ck Pearl Castle''s Casten Room, Huo Yuhao awakened from his sleep and yawnedzily. He rubbed his eyes and looked around briefly, seeing several beautiful women on his emperor-size bed. ''Maybe I should hold back a little? At this rate, I''ll be addicted to sex-! I mean dual cultivation.'' He faked a cough, feeling soft breathing on his left side. A naked Titania wasing into Huo Yuhao''s vision, making a small smile appear on his face. Even though their rtionship developed so much in thest few years, it was nothing more than heir-beneficiary. It also applies to Lily de Kemos as she bes a friend with benefits, but only with Huo Yuhao. As for the rest of thedies, they are Huo Yuhao''s loyal ves and servants. "Mm, Master~!" Another beautiful woman purred on Huo Yuhao''s other side, hugging his arm tightly between her bosom. She had unparalleled beauty, long tinum hair, and dim purple eyes with an "x." shaped pupil. Her body is well-endowed in three specific areas, but that ass. That ass of hers is incredible. Oh yeah, this woman is the Nox Emperor herself. Raki del Krmine. She used a prohibited technique and traveled through several dimensions to reach Titania Bolos. Usually, she would take several years to traverse between the sr systems, but the Nether God''s appearance aroused Kroman''s interest all over the Everlith Universe. "Everyone, wake up. It''s time for me to say farewell." Huo Yuhao leaned on his pillow. As if a fire rm gets pulled, everydy on the bed opens their eyes instinctively and reacts in panic. "W-wait, Oberon. We still have a few days in our contract, right?" Titania hugged him like a ko. And yes, she started calling him Oberon after giving her second heart a year ago. "Y-Yes, Master. Why don''t you stay a little bit longer?" The Nox Emperor supported Titania''s statement, which rarely happened. "I''m sure your family on the other side could wait two or three more days..." Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat because he had done everything he could do in this ce. His Ancient Ink Devil''s bloodline has fused perfectly with him. "You know I can''t, right?" Hearing those words, thedies made sad expressions and lowered their faces. "W-Will you ever return, Master?" Alexandra von Admante parted her lips slowly. "After all these years..." "We can''t live without you anymore." "Even the slightest second felt like an eternity." "Your shadow warriors are lucky because they can apany you everywhere, but what about us? No, what about turning all of us into shadow warriors as well?" Huo Yuhao sighed and responded, "Haa... We have talked about this, Alexandra." "Extracting one''s shadow into my army adds a certain amount of bad karma to my soul. I interfered with the naturalws of the "Everlith Universe." and so the answer is still no." "Then, bring us with you!" Titaniained with a pout. "Yes, BRING US, Master~!" Raki grinned excitedly, which left Huo Yuhao speechless. This woman wants to run away from her duty. Huo Yuhao flicked Raki''s forehead andmented, "What do you think would happen when two of the strongest devils in this fucking world disappear from their post? A being like the Nether God will knock on your front door again." "You might see him as a weakling, but the Nether God I fought is not in his full power. I was lucky to be able to reduce his strength." The atmosphere bes grim as what Huo Yuhao said is true. Without Titania and Raki, the Everlith Universe will fall into chaos, and only a handful of people could handle it. Huo Yuhao looked at their dejected expression and continued, "Don''t worry... I''ll be back, surely." "After all, this universe has be mine." "Right, Raki?" He pecked the Nox Emperor''s forehead. Raki purred in joy and replied, "Mm~! The Everlith Universe is yours, Master~!" Huo Yuhao shook his head and talked with thedies casually, making themugh. However, it quickly evolved into an intense orgy. A few hourster, Huo Yuhao sat in the dining room and enjoyed hisst breakfast in the Everlith Universe. Damian was wiping his tears and spoiled the mood. "I''m not going to die, Damian." "I only returned to my homeworld for a few years. And after that, I''ll immediately create a tunnel back." "Can I hug Your Highness? I know Young Master Theo passed away years ago. Still, can you please act like him for a moment...?" Damian suddenly requested. "I watched him grow. I watched him cry silently and couldn''t bring myself to heal his agony." "Wait a minute. I want to finish this warm soup first. Just like usual." Huo Yuhao replied with a smile, which made Damian cry even more as that smile does remind him of Theomars. Finishing the soup, Huo Yuhao stood up and walked to Damian. Damian hugged him like a father Theomars couldn''t have and said countless words of sorry. He cried like an ugly duck, making Huo Yuhao''s clothes damp and dirty. Huo Yuhao patted Damian''s back and said, "Damian, Theo is grateful for your presence. Believe me or not, Theo remembered his joyful memory with you at hisst moment." "Do you know what he thought when closing his eyes for eternity?" "P-Please tell me..." Damian wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Huo Yuhao smiled like foolish Theomars and said, "Thank you for everything, Damian. I know this wasn''t a proper goodbye, but I hope you can live well." "You''re my father figure. The only person who gives me warm soup every cold weather." "I wish... You''ll be free from this guilt." "Goodbye, Ian." Sobs! Damian dropped to the floor and hugged his knees, smiling with snots all over his face. "Goodbye, Young Master Theo..." "I appointed you as Vice Casten." Huo Yuhao dropped a clean nket over Damian''s shoulder. "Take care of this ce for me while I''m away." Damian watched Huo Yuhao leave the dining room and answered with conviction, "I will! Leave it to me, Your Highness." Walking to the garden, Huo Yuhao saw thedies waiting for him. "I can''t bring you back. My power only allows one person-travel as this world isn''t stable-!" "We KNOW!" They shouted back, stunning Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise and reacted awkwardly, "What?" Titania sighed andmented, "We know. Stop repeating yourself already." "We give up on following you back to your homeworld. What a shame, though." "I was expecting an exciting journey with my Oberon~!" She added with a teasing tone. "..." Huo Yuhao. "We are here to say farewell too, Your Highness." Lily walked forward and ced something in Huo Yuhao''s hand. "This is nothingpared to your action for us, but please receive it." Huo Yuhao looked down and saw a slim-looking book containing several secret techniques involving formation arrays. Itpiled all knowledge from the Everlith Universe, especially the Nox Emperor''s royal library. "Thanks." Huo Yuhao rubbed Lily''s head. cing the book into the Inventory, thedies suddenly surrounded Huo Yuhao and hugged him. "See you again, Your Highness/Master/Oberon~!!!" [You have obtained Ancient Godlight Devil''s Bloodline] [You have received Fairy Queen''s Innate Spirit] "See you again." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. [Returning to the temporary Homeworld: Highschool DxD] ... ... Huo Yuhao felt a muddy sensation all over his body. It was "actually." Primordial Ink, which covered his body when the Emergency Quest got triggered. [DING! You have finished the Emergency Quest] [Onyx Brush(EX), Ancient Ink Devi''s Memory, and 1x tinum Upgrading Ticket] [Unsealing the Upgrade Function] [Unsealing the ban on Inventory] [Do you want to fuse your side status to Main Status?] [Warning!

There is a chance for a skill to disappear upon merging] [Do you want to fuse Oberon von Vasltrax''s Status to your Main Status?] [Yes/No] "How long would it take?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly, absorbing the Primordial Ink into his body. He was "immediately." weed with the sight of a white-marbled altar and several familiar faces. [Around 30 minutes] "What about the side effects?" [The Host won''t suffer any side effects] "Then, Do it." Huo Yuhao stretched his body slightly. A beautiful silhouette shed before Huo Yuhao''s vision, cracking a happy smile on his handsome face. "Yuhao-sama!" Grayfia Lucifge lunged toward Huo Yuhao and tackled him to the floor, hugging him tightly. Huo Yuhao immediately kissed Grayfia, feeling up her sweet lips and mouth. Her breathing became heavier as her face flushed with redness. "I''m back, Grayfia." "Mm, Wee Back. Yuhao-sama." Chapter 175: New Status Update Chapter 175: New Status Update --- Chapter 172 --- "Yuhao-sama, please eat this~!" "What about this~?" "Oh, this meat ising from the best breed this year. It has nice marbling and melts in your mouth. Here, aah~!" Grayfia Lucifuge was "extremely." ecstatic when finding out about Huo Yuhao''s return. As she spread this news through Giana''swork, Grayfia pulled Huo Yuhao to her quarter and cooked warm food for him. It''s been exactly nine months since thest time Grayfia and others saw Huo Yuhao, waiting for him patiently. Dragon Nest''s coalition is fighting against the Persian, Buddhist, and Hindu Gods'' union. Meanwhile, the Greek and Norse Faction chose to join the Dragon Nest''s coalition. And Even though the situation hasn''t changed much, some Hindu Gods seem to try to release Trihexa from its seals. All this is because of Huo Yuhao''s dominating presencest time when he dragged "The God of the Death: Hades." to Mount Olympus, killing the skeleton deity mercilessly. Well, that''s for another day. Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly and ate everything that Grayfia fed him happily. It''s maybe his feeling increased by homesickness, but the silver-haired devil maid before him somehow bes more beautiful after three years. Technically only nine months passed here, but whatever. "Eat this too, Yuhao-sama?" Grayfia noticed Huo Yuhao''s smile. "Um, is there something wrong?" Huo Yuhao shook his head casually and replied, "No, nothing wrong." "It''s just... Is it me, or have you be more beautifultely, Fia?" "W-What!" Grayfia reacted bashfully, blushing hard. She rubbed her cheeks adorably, which made Huo Yuhaough. After finishing the hearty meal, Grayfia told Huo Yuhao to rest on herp and exined everything that happened when he was gone. Huo Yuhao listened to her story attentively for a good few minutes, getting distracted by her floral scent. ''Aih... I get addicted to dual cultivation.'' Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat. He closed his eyes and said, "Fia, since the situation isn''t very demanding, let''s go on a date after I meet with everyone." Grayfia''s expression softened as she replied, "Yes, Yuhao-sama." "Let me take a nap for thirty minutes." Huo Yuhao rolled his head to face Grayfia''s soft stomach. "I have to manage my new abilities first." "Mm." Grayfia nodded, brushing his hair gently. [Ding! Fusing the Temporary Status to the Main One] [Processing...] [...] [...] Huo Yuhao''s body entered a passive mode, and he took this chance to visit the Spiritual World. He arrived at the boundless golden sea and saw four figures near his Spiritual Tree(Core). "Yuhao, wee back." Eluxia went for a hug, to which Huo Yuhao responded by hugging her back. "See, I won the bet." Tian Meng lifted her little nose proudly. "This guy is a living damn paradox. He finished his emergency mission faster than conquering this world." "Anyway, where is my reward?" "Tch." Bing Di clicked her tongue in annoyance. She leaned toward Tian Meng, pecking her cheek lightly. "Done. I shouldn''t have made any bet around Huo Yuhao with you." "HEHEHE~!" Tian Meng squirmed happily, causing Bing Di and others to look at her disdainfully. Oh well, The Ice Emperor is more disgusted. "MUST BE PUNISHED! GO AWAY, PERVERT!" A childish shout echoed in Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual World. BAM! A pink sh traveled through the air and mmed into Tian Meng''s stomach, sending her flying into the Spiritual Tree. "Kuugh-!" Tian Meng choked on air, drowning in the golden sea with some bubbles. Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened when he saw an adorable-looking child with sparkly pink hair. This little girl has a small white nose, a small fang poking out of her mouth, a ck dragon horn, and bright blue eyes that resemble Huo Yuhao''s. She wore an open-back white dress to her knee, which functioned like a frame for her young dragon wings. "V!" The girl threw a victory sign at Bing Di. "Is she...?" Huo Yuhao nced at Eluxia. Eluxia nodded and replied, "She''s Helena. The Dragon Egg we spiritually condensed from Ddraig and Albion''s Soul Pieces, resulting in new living Spirits with their abilities umted in her soul." "She cracked out of her egg six months ago and developed rapidly to a Soul Beast with roughly 100.000 years old''s level of Spiritual Energy. We are actually surprised, but knowing her source of power, which were "Ddraig." and "Albion." her growth is understandable." "As for Helena''s level of intellect... I could say she inherited a lot from you and me." Eluxia let out an exhausted sigh, which left Huo Yuhao speechless. "Why do you mean by A lot?" Huo Yuhao''s expression bes stuffy when hearing the Cmity Necromancer''s statements. He could see something more than weariness from Eluxia''s eyes. The young dragon girl''s nose twitched a little, smelling a familiar scent not far from her. She turned around and saw a handsome young man with dazzling blue hair. Realizing who he was with simple mental guessing, Helena jumped cheerfully and shed to Huo Yuhao. She hugged him like a sticky substance and shouted, "PAPA~!" "I FINAlLY MET YOU~!!" Her raspy yet sweet invaded Huo Yuhao''s ears. ''Ah, no wonder...'' Huo Yuhao finally realized what Eluxia meant. yful and Quick-witted. After getting examined by Helena, Huo Yuhao sat under the Spiritual Tree with the young dragon on hisp. The little girl was humming familiar-sounding sounds and rubbing the back of her head on him. "Back again on Spiritual Geographic, here we have a dragon with his young spawn." Tian Mengmented while pushing ssy sses onto her face. "Nothing shady happened yet, but Don''t worry... It is definitely illegal to film." "Don''t make it weird, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Also, Helena." "Yes, Papa~?" The little girl tilted her head. Huo Yuhao pulled her cheeks and warned solemnly, "Promise you won''t do anything dangerous toward others and yourself without a proper reason." He said this because his younger self is somewhat unstable, and White Room helped him to be more disciplined. Behind his yful side, there was always chaos waiting to get released. Even though Huo Yuhao could control Helena with his Absolute Control over her soul, doing so would damage Helena''s growth in the future. An irregr being like Helena must have freedom but also some limitations. Still, Huo Yuhao knew better that a child needed "Love & Guidance." than forced authority and coldness. ''Love and Guidance, huh? Never thought of these words for years now.'' A nostalgic memory sparked in Huo Yuhao''s mind. And then something snaps again. Huo Yuhao hissed in pain, clutching his head. "Papa/Yuhao!" Worried shoutse from Huo Yuhao''s contracted souls. Huo Yuhao bit his lips and replied, "I''m fine. Just a slight headache." It was a lie. His soul felt like it was about to explode. Something or maybe someone is prohibiting Huo Yuhao from essing any memory rted to that person. At first, he thought Evo influenced this but scratched the suspicion quickly because he could remember everything well before going to the Everlith Universe. Huo Yuhao circted Spiritual Energy and lessened the headache, calming his contracted soul about his situation. "Anyway, let''s talk about our stories. I''m curious about Helena''s growth." He changed the topic, knowing damn well they could spot his trick. ying along, Helena opened her mouth and responded, "Hehe~! Then, let me tell you about my newest ability." Eluxia rubbed her forehead helplessly and said, "You two do alike." Huo Yuhao and Helena nced at each other,ughing their ass off because the link between them was thicker than blood. Thirty minutes passed in the Spiritual World, and Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a click in his mind. He smiled and told Helena to stop the rest of her story forter. "It''s about time. My mother and others should be here at this point." He said while patting Helena''s head. "Be a good girl, okay?" "Mm." Helena nodded obediently. However, a slight yet devious smirk appeared on Helena''s innocent young face. "What about Sister Daydream, though?" She returned while cing her little finger on her cheek. "Prank her as much as you want." Huo Yuhao winked his eyes at Helena, making her throw a thumb up. "OY!" Tian Meng reacted, twitching her lips in disbelief. ... ... [Ding!

"Oh, he woke up~!" Huo Yun''er giggled in happiness. "About a damn time, of course, he would wake up," Scathach said with a smile. Qianye Ying''er nodded and added, "I missed you so much, Yuhao." Huo Yuhao smiled awkwardly because four beautiful women anddies were using theirps for his pillow. He could smell the jealousy from millions of men if they witnessed this. Their scents invaded Huo Yuhao''s nostrils, which is dangerous for many reasons. ''Calm down there, buddy.'' Huo Yuhao looked down at his pants wryly. He blinked a few times and said, "I''m back." "Wee back, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er gently pulled him closer, reaching for a kiss. Huo Yuhao didn''t fight back and felt her soft lips wrapping around his tongue. It was a sloppy french kiss, which awakened a dangerous mood between the frustrateddies in the room. "Next." Scathach hugged Huo Yuhao from behind, kissing him wildly. From her flushed face alone, Huo Yuhao could see his beloved Shishou was sexually frustrated. Andstly, Qianye Ying''er, who kissed Huo Yuhao with the softest tongue y. Well, not very peaceful down there. ''Bad girl.'' Huo Yuhao pped Qianye Ying''er ass and made her squirm a little, but she didn''t say anything to deny hisment. "Um, Yuhao-sama... About the date." Grayfia Lucifuge suddenly opened her mouth. She fumbled with her fingers, causing the three frustrated women to snap back to reality. Cough! Huo Yun''er faked a cough and said, "W-Well, we can wait for that." Even though Huo Yun''er is thirsty for something, she doesn''t want to bother Huo Yuhao''s date with Grayfia Lucifuge. It''s rare to see a woman as dedicated as this silver-haired maid. Of course, Huo Yun''er would prefer dragging Huo Yuhao to the bedroom immediately, but Grayfia deserved her part. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er could only shake their heads, smiling at Grayfia. "Go, you two. Or I''ll pounce on my beloved student." Scathach pushed Huo Yuhao to Grayfia. Qianye Ying''er slipped something into Grayfia''s sleeve and continued, "Yeah... Don''t go for too long, though. At least return within one or two days." Grayfia peeked into her sleeve and blushed hard after seeing the content of Qianye Ying''er gift. ''C-Con...'' She gulped nervously. ''This size... Is Huo Yuhao-sama that big??" Qianye Ying''er chuckled yfully, expecting a great reaction from Grayfia Lucifuge. "Thanks for understanding, Mom, Shishou, Ying''er." Huo Yuhao gave them a thankful look and grabbed Grayfia''s hand. "Then, I''ll be back after the date and spend more quality time with you all." "Just a moment..." He hugged them tightly, whispering something to thedies'' ears. Their eyes widened as a happy smile formed on their faces. "See you soon." "Let''s go, Grayfia." He pulled Grayfia into a wormhole. Grayfia nodded and responded excitedly, "Mm." Watching the two left, Huo Yun''er shook her head andmented, "Marriage, huh?" "Well, I''m never against it." "What do you think? Scathach, Ying''er?" Scathach swayed her head away and replied indifferently, "Who cares about marriage? As long as I could be with my beloved disciple." "Teacher, you''re cute sometimes, you know?" Qianye Ying''ermented while hugging the god-yer. "That''s true." Huo Yun''er grinned a little. "Stop Teasing Me!" Scathachined, which made the twodiesugh in amusement. "This is just a payback for your bullying, teacher." Qianye Ying''er winked at her. Scathach pouted and muttered, "Hmph... I hope Yuhao returns fast." Chapter 176: A Date with the Devil Maid Chapter 176: A Date with the Devil Maid --- Chapter 173 --- On the street of Kyoto City, a handsome young man and a beautiful woman walked alongside each other. The bustling yet warm city makes the mood merrier for some reason. "Maybe, we should change our clothes first?" Huo Yuhao suddenlymented, feeling the gazes of the people. After all, he hasn''t changed his clothes for one year. He wasn''t worried about being dirty because Primordial Ink cleaned all of the sweat and blood he exerted. Hearing that, Grayfia immediately realized she was still in her maid outfit and nodded gently with a blush. "Sure, Yuhao-sama." She replied calmly. She also wanted to look more womanly on a date, you know. They went to the nearest mall in the area, checking some clothes and trying some. However, Huo Yuhao immediately noticed a problem. He didn''t bring a single yen to buy something in this ce. Let''s not talk about clothes because he could casually copy them with Primordial Ink''s Tracing. However, How could he treat Grayfia food on a date without a single money? After all, Kyoto is famous because of the street food alongside the shrines and temples. ''You gotta be kidding me.'' Huo Yuhao sighed in disbelief, feeling a stare from behind. Since Grayfia is still trying on her new clothes in the changing room, it shouldn''t be her. Huo Yuhao turned around with a frown and saw this beautiful young girl in her shrine maiden outfit. She has luscious ck hair with a ribbon on the right side and bright purple eyes. "Um... Are you perhaps Young Master Huo?" She asked with a nervous smile. Huo Yuhao nodded and responded, "If you''re part of my mother''s group, then yes." The girl''s face brightened when hearing that, pulling a wallet from her sleeve. "Here, Young Master Huo. The Mistress told me to hand this to you." "She knew you''d forget about this." Huo Yuhao looked at the wallet, noticing a small blue dragon pattern on the edge of the leather, and smiled helplessly. "Thanks." He grabbed onto the wallet, brushing the girl''s skin identally. "Mm~!" The girl released this small, surprised moan. "..." Huo Yuhao. What has Huo Yun''er done in Kyoto? The girl realized her reaction wasn''t so subtle and lowered her head in shame. "Ahh, s-sorry... I''m sorry to show you the unsightly part of myself." "Forgive me, Young Master Huo." Huo Yuhao sighed and replied, "It''s fine..." "You can go now." "Also, say thanks to my mother too." The girl nodded and ran away from Huo Yuhao''s sight, disappearing on the corner of the mall. [Name: Amaterasu, The Goddess of the Sun] [Race: Divine Spirit/Living God] [Cultivation: Half-Step 1st God ss] [Battle Power: Half-Step 1st God ss] [Description: Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun, is a famous deity within the Shinto Faction. She was dragged out of the resting cave by Huo Yun''er and received her "unique culture." teaching, bing the vice-leader of the Thousand Women Association] "Did mom just use the Goddess of the Sun to run an errand for her?" Huo Yuhao was speechless. "Damn..." "But, isn''t she just a pervert?" He recalled her flushed face when handing the wallet. He looked at the wallet in his hand, hoping Amaterasu didn''t do anything weird to it. There are some wet patches on the ground where Amaterasu ran before, which were dried up by her authority over the sun. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, the Goddess of the Sun will watch his date with Grayfia Lucifuge. However, she wouldn''t do anything except make things smoother for him. Kyoto City became less crowded, but the warm aura is still livelier than ever. The atmosphere also bes cozier now. "Y-Yuhao-sama, what do you think about my outfit?" A shy voice tickled Huo Yuhao''s back. Huo Yuhao nced back and was stunned upon seeing Grayfia. He knew she was a beautiful woman with a charming personality, but her current outfit cranked that up by several levels. Grayfia walked out of the changing room. She fashioned a white blouse that emphasized her breast, which hinted at her purpleced bra as the material was slightly transparent. And a casual long ck skirt that ended with her elegant low heels. Her usual braided silver hair is loose and straight, running to her back. "You''re beautiful." Huo Yuhao genuinely praised her with an impressed smile. Giggling happily, Grayfia blinked a few times and noticed his outfit had changed too. "You''re handsome too, Yuhao-sama." She returned the pleasantry. Huo Yuhao shook his head, staring at the mirror beside him. He wore a white shirt with a vintage brown coat and ck pants. They unintentionally paired themselves like a couple. "Well, what are you waiting for?" Huo Yuhao grasped Grayfia''s soft hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. "Let''s go... We have a date." Grayfia smiled and followed Huo Yuhao to the bustling street, enjoying the scenery and street foods. They strolled around Kyoto and eventually sat on a bench in a local park, staring at the evening sky. "Fia, open your mouth." Huo Yuhao slyly grabbed a corndog. "Yes?" Grayfia opened her mouth, feeling something brushing her lips. It was spicy. But vorful enough to catch her off guard. "It''s good," Grayfia said while munching on the corndog. Huo Yuhaoughed because he expected a more surprised expression from her. Eating his portion, Huo Yuhao recalled his past as Putra andmented, "You know... In the past, I''ve been thinking of buyingnd in the countryside and building a farm." "Eh?" Grayfia is honestly surprised by this news. She didn''t know Huo Yuhao would have such a simple goal. "But don''t you think aplishing such a goal will be easier now?" Huo Yuhao looked at Grayfia and replied, "Nope, it''s harder now." "As my influence and organization grow more powerful... Myst goal isn''t so simple anymore." "With great poweres great responsibility, a man once said." "I made quite an enemy not too long ago, and protecting my loved ones seems more important, no?" Huo Yuhao brought up a napkin closer to Grayfia, wiping the sauce from her cheeks. "I see..." Grayfia''s cheeks reddened, acknowledging what Huo Yuhao implied. Grayfia sighed in relief and opened her mouth, "When I was a child. I dreamed of meeting you once." "You, it''s embarrassing to say, are my only idol." "Your action to break the Great War is such a legend that I could never forget once my father told me... It was intense and felt unreal." She looked at Huo Yuhao and continued, "When we met for the first time, I barely kept myself from screaming in joy." "Um..." She shylyughed, forgetting her usual persona. "Do people say that you''re cute, Fia?" Huo Yuhao suddenly said, to which Grayfia responded by shaking her head. It was adorable. He pushed her nose gently and added, "Well, I didn''t mind seeing you this way more often. Of course, my lovely devil maid is cute too, but you can act more casually with me." "Is that an order?" Grayfia questioned, returning to her calm self. "I wonder." Huo Yuhao pulled Grayfia closer, making her head lean on his shoulder. "Do you want this as an order? Or ept it as my wish?" Grayfia felt a warm sensation in her chest and whispered, "Thetter part doesn''t sound bad." "Right?" "Mm." They enjoyed the evening walking while holding hands, arriving at the unique-looking inn. It was a traditional inn on the edge of Kyoto, standing firmly close to a bridge with a gentle-running river below it. Huo Yuhao and Grayfia nced at each other, nodding understandably because the inn looked nice enough to stay for tonight. They checked in and were "immediately" escorted to one of the rooms in the building, which showcased the scenery of the river. There is also a private onsen and lounge room with a tatami floor. "Let''s take a bath first, shall we? I''m sweating a lot because of the strolling." Huo Yuhao coughed, knowing damn well only some dust brushed him all this time. He released Grayfia''s hand and walked to the shower to clean himself, feeling the silver-haired devil''s hesitant grip on his coat. "What about showering together?" Grayfia asked with all the bravery she could muster. She''s also nervous, but this is important for her. Of course, it was unsettling for her to ask such a question. She was ready to face Huo Yuhao''s rejection. However, what greeted her was a warm smile. "Sure, let''s shower and enjoy the onsen together." Huo Yuhao replied gently. Since he has been staying in the Titania Bolos for roughly six years, a woman''s feeling is one of many things he learned. It''s still a mystery, but Huo Yuhao tried his best to read their needs. Thankfully, Grayfia is a pure-minded woman in a sense. "I''ll be waiting." Huo Yuhao lifted Grayfia''s hand and kissed it. Huo Yuhao went to the cleaning room and turned his clothes to the Primordial Ink, absorbing them into his body. He stretched a little bit and grabbed the towel the inn provided. Walking to the shower, Huo Yuhao felt the room-temperature water running from his head. ''That''s nice.'' He thought while hearing the sliding door from behind. He was nervous for some reason. "Yuhao-sama." Grayfia is fully naked, with only a white towel wrapping her body. "I''ll start scrubbing your back, okay?" Huo Yuhao felt a soft texture on his back, brushing against his skin sensually with two small poking sensations followed by a slight whimpering from Grayfia. Her warm breath tickled Huo Yuhao''s nape, making his thing harder than usual. And for god sake, Grayfia smells damn great. Grayfia had never felt this way either, and utilizing her breast to wash someone''s back is an idea taught by Qianye Ying''er. She only used her instinct to serve Huo Yuhao at this point. She noticed Huo Yuhao''s towel bing looser, getting lifted from the front. She swallowed her saliva nervously and witnessed a fleshy monster for the first time. She knew about the male''s genitalia, but Huo Yuhao was way "bigger." than the average. Its sheer size and girth are simr to her arm. Grayfia breathed in and said, "Yuhao-sama, may I help you tend your member down there? It looks painful." Huo Yuhao didn''t say anything and turned around with a wry smile, nodding in defeat. He sat on the small wooden chair and watched Grayfia kneeling before him. Her exposed breast is bigger from his angle, wrapping around his dick perfectly. Grayfia kneaded her breast gently, bobbing the white mountain up and down. Huo Yuhao hissed and was surprised by her technique, leaking some precum. "Mm..." Grayfia licked the tip of Huo Yuhao''s dick, tasting his cum for the first time. Huo Yuhao felt a build-up from Grayfia''s boob job, and then something warm wrapped his dick. "Do you like it, Yuhao-sama?" Grayfia said while sucking his dick. Since the dick is more monstrous than average, Grayfia''s breast could only bury 2/3 of it. Grayfia kept serving his dick, making it feel better. Huo Yuhao was about to cum and grabbed Grayfia''s head inactively, pushing his dick deeper into her throat. Grayfia''s eyes widened in surprise, feeling the gush of cum flowing inside her throat. She gagged and stared at Huo Yuhao surprisingly. After cumming inside the Devil Maid, Huo Yuhao sighed in relief and couldn''t help but ask, "Your technique is great. Where did you learn this?" Grayfia slowly unveiled his dick and answered, "Mistress and Ying''er." "But... It''s still hard." "Is my technique not satisfying enough?" Huo Yuhaoughed and answered, "Well, my dick won''t be soft so easily. I need cum a few times normally." Gulp! ''That exins something.'' Grayfia looked at the erect dick. Huo Yuhao chuckled and returned, "Hahaha, don''t mind it. It''s my turn to give you some relief now, Fia." "Huh?" "Ahn~!" Grayfia felt Huo Yuhao''s warm hand on her snatch, fingering her hole skillfully. She gasped in shock and moaned without even realizing it. "That was a cute moan." Huo Yuhao lifted Grayfia''s legs and began to lick her now a wet virgin hole. Her pussy is pretty pink with neat lips. He teased Grayfia by licking herbia and gently munching her clit. Grayfia felt an electric shock running through her body, shaking her hips violently. She masturbated to keep her mind together daily, but this experience is. It''s something else. A forbidden pleasure she never touched. Huo Yuhao''s tongue rubbed Grayfia from the inside, giving this unbearable shiver all over her pussy. "Y-Yuhao-sama, AAHN~!" She couldn''t hold her voice, moaning even louder than before. Huo Yuhao was "suddenly." showered by Grayfia''s squirting and licked his lips hungrily. "Sweet." He rested his head on her breast. After a minute, Grayfia and Huo Yuhao cleaned themselves again, moving to the onsen in this lovely mood. "Oh, what is that?" "Alcohol?" "You ordered them, Fia?" Hearing the questions, Grayfia smiled and floated the basin on the onsen, dipping beside him. "It feels great." "Do you want me to pour one, Yuhao-sama?" She offered to pour him the sake. "You can drop the sama off, you know? If we are alone, calling me Yuhao is more than enough." Huo Yuhao picked up the cup and watched the sake getting poured into it. "You can even call me Yuhao publicly." "I don''t wanna..." Grayfia said in a low tone. "Calling you Yuhao-sama makes me feel special." "To others, people calling Yuhao-sama by just a name might give them a sense of intimacy. Yet, viewing Yuhao-sama higher than myself is enough happiness already." "My only wish is to stay by your side forever, as a maid or even a w-wife..." She stuttered at the end, which made Huo Yuhao chuckle. Huo Yuhao drank the sake in his hand and wrapped Grayfia''s rear gently, feeling the softness of her body by leaning closer. Grayfia didn''t reject Huo Yuhao''s advance and massaged his thighs with her hand. They might look normal above the water level, staring at the night sky calmly. Yet, theypetitively tried to stimte each other under the water. Huo Yuhao seized Grayfia''s mouth with a kiss, feeling the sake''s floral smell. She was intoxicated like he was and soppily kissed him back. "Mm, Yuhao-sama~!" She gasped when Huo Yuhao teased her nipple. "You''re so big down there..." "Why don''t you try to tame it then?" Huo Yuhao challenged her, making the half-drunk devil maid pout. Grayfia gently lifted her ass and sat on Huo Yuhao''s crotch, letting her toned cheeks wrap his dick like a hotdog bun. Huo Yuhao grunted because the cheeks were even more dangerous than the boobs. "Ooh~!" He couldn''t help but grin, watching Grayfia''s ass dance on his crotch. Grayfia giggled and said, "How was it, Yuhao-sama?" "Does my ass job turn you on?" "It turns you on, right~? The same goes for me. Your long and hard cock is making my inside burn in desire..." "I can''t hold it anymore." "Let''s see who can make others cum first." Huo Yuhao''s hand reached for Grayfia''s crotch this time and rubbed the flesh near her pussy. He doesn''t want to give her all the main dishes, biting onto her ears gently. Grayfia shuddered and felt she was about to cum. "Yuhao-sama~!" "Fia~!" Huo Yuhao cummed onto Grayfia''s back and covered her skin with a thickyer of his semen. He could hear her breathing be huskier, meaning she was horny as fuck. "My vagina..." "Your what?" "My pussy!" "Yuhao-sama, please take my virginity!" Grayfia kissed him again, hungrily this time. "Please take my virginity and shove your monstrous cock inside my pussy~!" "Hehe, dly. My beautiful Fia." Huo Yuhao lifted her from the son and returned to their room. Since he has added Primordial Rune since entering the bathing room, no one should be able to pry in. Grayfia snuggled to his chest, purring like a cat. Huo Yuhao brought Grayfia to a big futon and gently ced her down, witnessing her body in full glory. The Highschool DxD''s World is worthy of their waifus, indeed. Gosh, she''s gorgeous. That beautiful face. It was "slightly." dampened because of sweat and onsen. That killer''s body, screaming to him to do lustful acts. Huo Yuhao could see warm steaming from Grayfia''s body. She was hot for him. He was hot for her. Grayfia''s breast bounced as she breathed out heavily. She looked at Huo Yuhao with a warm-looking expression, waiting for his advance. Huo Yuhao slowly dropped to the floor and picked up Grayfia''s fine leg, kissing her sole yfully. He licked her thighs, gradually reaching to her crotch again. He gave her another cunnilingus, but this time more intense than before. He reached a ce Grayfia was more sensitive to, triggering her moans. "OOh~!" "Yuhao-sama~! That... That feels good~!" Huo Yuhao ced his hardened member and teased Grayfia''s hole by tapping around the lips. She grunted hard, pushing her wet pussy toward him. "Please..." "Please, Yuhao-sama~!" Huo Yuhao usually makes his women beg for it, but Grayfia deserves special attention for her hard work. "AHHN~!" Huo Yuhao drove his dick into Grayfia''s pussy, feeling the warm fleshy sensation hugging him inside. He could feel the tip of his dick reaching her womb, knocking on the baby-making door for the first time. "It''s so big... It''s so big." Grayfia huffed, feeling her pussy rammed by Huo Yuhao''s member. She could feel her pussy taking the shape of his dick already. Theirpatibility is too good. "I''ll start moving." "Mm." Huo Yuhao moved his hips and made Grayfia''s eyes widen in shock. She held her mind-blown moan and groaned sheepishly, feeling the throbbing cock inside her. "Mm~!" "Ahn~!" "OOh, AHH~!" "You''re so good, Yuhao-sama~!" "Your cock is shaping my pussy to fit it." "I don''t think anyone could satisfy me at this point..." "Anyone?" Huo Yuhao faced her. "Fia, you''re mine for eternity." Huo Yuhao changed his pace to a faster side and heard a squeal from Grayfia. "YESSH~!" "I''M YOURS~!!" "MY BODY IS YOURS!" "MY MIND IS YOURS!" "MY SOUL IS YOURS!" "Make me yours, Yuhao-sama~! Mark my pussy with your godly seed and breed me like the horny devil I am~!" "My Fia is such a naughty devil maid." Huo Yuhao kissed her, pumping his dick with more force. "I''M CUMMMING~!!!" They both cummed hard as Huo Yuhao filled Grayfia''s hole with his semen. Grayfia''s breathing was as if she was breathing a thousand kilometers of marathons, but a satisfied smile stered on her face. "Yuhao-sama, I love you~!" She hugged him happily. Huo Yuhao hugged her and replied, "I love you too." "But do you think this is over?" "The night is still young, Fia." "Eh?" Grayfia realized the cock inside her pussy was still hard, making her instinctively clench it. She gulped nervously and asked, "You''re still hard... Should we do more?" "Not even a question." Huo Yuhao turned Grayfia around and fingered her other hole. "T-That''s..." Grayfia yelped in surprise. "me yourself for being so hot, Fia." Huo Yuhao''s lustful voice entered her ears. "AHHNN~!" "MY ASS, OOOH~! MY ASS FILLED WITH YOUR COCK~!" "YUHAO-SAMA~! YUHAO-SAMAAAAAAAAAA~!!" Huo Yuhao fucked Grayfia doggystyle, fucking her ass continuously for an hour. She orgasmed countless times by this new wild experience, and he cummed inside her. He watched her gaping anal hole, licking his lips hungrily. "Yuhao-sama... More." "Fuck me more~! Fill all my holes." "I-I want you to use me whatever you want." "Hoho, what a dangerous request." Huo Yuhao kissed her silver hair from behind. "Are you sure?" "YES!" Huo Yuhao fucked Grayfia senselessly until sunrise, dirtying the room with his semen. They changed position every five minutes and explored carnal desires like no tomorrow. Grayfia''s eyes opened tonight. She experienced what it means to be a woman. Well, maybe a little bit extreme. Even so, with her Pure-Blooded Devil''s constitution, she couldn''t oust Huo Yuhao''s stamina. He''s literally as monstrous as everyone who had slept with him described. "I''m CUMMING~!!" Huo Yuhao lifted Grayfia, making her bounce on his cook. Grayfia couldn''t reply because this was too much pleasure for her virgin mind. Well, she wasn''t a virgin anymore. "~!!!" She rolled her eyes, drooling messily. A stream of pussy juice and Huo Yuhao''s semene from her pussy. ... ... After having a wild night, the sunlight prated through the sliding window and illuminated the messy room. Huo Yuhao was sleeping on the futon with Grayfia Lucifuge curling on his chest. "Yuhao-sama..." "Grayfia loved you so much." "Please, never leave me alone again." Huo Yuhao was deep asleep, yet Grayfia''s voice seemed able to enter his passive consciousness. "Yes, I promise..." "I won''t leave you alone again." Grayfia smiled, rubbing her cheeks on his chest. Chapter 177: Clearance Chapter 177: Clearance I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! --- Chapter 174 --- At 8 A.M, Huo Yuhao woke up from his nice sleep and was "immediately." greeted by Grayfia Lucifuge''s beautiful face. He chuckled and bopped her nose gently, making her purr softly. Huo Yuhao stayed on the futon for a few minutes, teasing Grayfia a few times until she woke up too. Her brows twitched slightly before opening those gorgeous rubies-like eyes. "Yuhao-sama? Where are we-!" Grayfia rubbed her eyes, feeling the soreness all over her body. She blinked and blushed hard after remembering their passionate night. It felt like a dream for Grayfia as she slept with her idol and master. "Awawa..." She released this cute awkward noise, which made Huo Yuhao chuckle in amusement. There is also imaginary steaming from her reddened face. "I don''t know that my Fia is adorable." Huo Yuhao teased her even more. "S-Stop~! Yuhao-sama..." Grayfia pouted while hiding her face, burying it in his chest. Huo Yuhao lifted Grayfia''s face lightly and pecked her forehead, hugging her for a few minutes. "Let''s hit the onsen once again. Our bodies are all sticky after the intense night." He said, to which Grayfia responded with a nod of agreement. "Um, Yuhao-sama. Do you think we can do it again?" Grayfia suddenly asked. "You know we can''t do it anymore once we return." "Do what?" "S-Sex..." "Oh my, Fia is such a naughty woman." "N-Naughty... I don''t mind, but can we do it?" "Of course, let''s go~!" ... ... After hitting the onsen for the second time, Huo Yuhao and Grayfia Lucifuge did a quick Dual Cultivation until noon. Believe it or not, Grayfia has never been so happy in her entire life, even her skin glowing with such enjoyment. The inn''s ownerdy evenmented that Huo Yuhao was such a good husband. Walking out of the inn, Huo Yuhao sighed because Grayfia refused to use "Cleaning Rune." to cleanse the mess they made and decided to do everything manually. Well, it doesn''t take that long. Grayfia is a top-notch maid, after all. ''She probably saved the futon as a memorial, Yuhao. It''s called "Tokens of Virginity," which is evidence of the couple''s first night.'' Eluxiamented calmly. ''I had to say... You were quite wildst night and earlier.'' She faked a cough. Eluxia and other adult contracted souls of Huo Yuhao wanted to try spicy activities, but their current condition doesn''t support it. Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly because this body basically hadn''t done any action for one year. His sexual urge pretty much runs wild when finishing the emergency quest. That''s why being surrounded by beautiful women he loved triggered more lustful thoughts than usual. And being a person of several different races makes things harder to control. Divine Dragon and War Beast''s desires to mate are enough to make him horny most of the time, which means adding other races'' qualities is like pouring an overflowing container already. "I''m done, Yuhao-sama. Let''s return." Grayfia merrily stepped out of the inn and hugged his left arm. Huo Yuhao nodded and created a wormhole back to the floating ind in the Underworld. Even then, he felt a slight prying gaze on his back before walking into his wormhole. It wasn''t an ill gaze and was somewhat familiar. Huo Yuhao nced back and mumbled, "Who would have thought a goddess has a hobby stalking someone." "You''re bad at doing your job, Amaterasu-san?" As if Amaterasu was a scared puppy, she peeked out from the bush near the inn. Her presence concealing is near perfect, but Huo Yuhao''s Haki is too strong. [Observation Haki: EX+] Thanks to Titania von Valstrax''s Blessing through her second heart, Huo Yuhao reached higher mastery of his Observation Haki. He didn''t simply read the flow movement and read the future anymore, but also a million possibilities ahead of it. No, it''s not simple 6th Sense. Huo Yuhao was certain his vision of the world was not limited to the future. Like a picture, the world was "literally." contained inside a microscopic canvas. Titania called this state "Vision Beyond Frame." and allowed anyone who achieved it to view something outside their level. It''s one of the reasons Huo Yuhao could fight Nether God without receiving extreme damage. "Follow us. I''m sure my mother would like to hear your report." Huo Yuhao kept walking to the wormhole. Amaterasu was terrified because her presence got detected this easily, which even other gods wouldn''t be able to do with their authority constantly activated. It just proved Huo Yuhao was something else. ''As expected of the young master...'' She thought while jumping out of the bush, following Huo Yuhao and Grayfia to the Underworld. Since Kyoto is currently under Yasaka''s control, Amaterasu could roam freely. They arrived at the Underworld with a single step and were "instantly." greeted with a shout. "WELCOME BACK, BOSS!" Azazel saluted Huo Yuhao. "..." Huo Yuhao stared at this shameless fallen angel with a deadpan expression. "Yeah, whatever." He walked past Azazel. Azazel''s face froze as heined, "So cold!" "I missed you too, you know!" "Uugh, stop. Don''t act like that." Huo Yuhao pushed the fallen angel away, pping him on the back. "Why so chummy... I know you wanted something from me." Azazel grinned while rubbing his hands like a dirty businessman and replied, "Hehe, nothing special. I want permission to ess level 2 of Dragon Nest''s knowledge." "Level 2?" "Let me exin..." A familiar-looking man appeared out of nowhere. He wore Dragon Nest''s researcher coat, having this slick yet weird hairstyle. Huo Yuhao''s eyes squint when looking at this man. His hand stretched out and triggered a secret action between them. PA! Huo Yuhao and Xiao Chen pped their hands excitedly. "You Madd, how could you go without telling me first? You didn''t know how worried we were." Xiao Chen said, shaking his head disapprovingly. Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned, "Like I could do anything. I got dragged to another dimension without consent." Hearing that reply, Xiao Chen immediately reacted like a child on Christmas morning. "That smile... That goddamn smile. You must find some interesting material there." "Yup." Huo Yuhao threw a spatial bag filled with rare minerals he mined under the ck Pearl Castle. Xiao Chen opened the spatial bag and sniffed it, gaining a weird gaze from everyone. "I smell a new invention." He said solemnly. "Anyway, start exining. What''s this level 2?" Huo Yuhao looked around briefly, scanning the familiar member of the Dragon Nest. He teleported to the floating ind, but this ce seemed to be the main base. Xiao Chen cleared his throat and said, "Ehem. Level 2 is one of five authorities to ess Dragon Nest''s resources. One is the highest, and five is the lowest." "We separated based on contribution like in our world. And with the help of Gabriel, we used her vow rule to determine whether one is worthy to ess certain resources." "It might sound like gatekeeping, but some people(mainly the opposing force) have tried to steal Universal Breathing Technique and other secrets by reading our member''s soul." "Gabrial''s vow is so strong that no one could break it. Not even gods from Hindu Faction could overwrite it to find our secret. That''s why when somebody achieved a certain amount of contribution, they would meet Gabriel with the higher-ssed member to gain clearance." "So you''re saving the information?" Huo Yuhao pondered about something for a moment. He nced at Azazel andmented, "And you want me to give you clearance?" Azazel nodded and answered, "I''m researching your invention field, Spirit Engineering. With my current level, the knowledge I could obtain is still limited..." "And someone is stingy with their knowledge." He gave Xiao Chen a stink gaze. Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and countered, "Oh,e on. You acted like a creep in the past four months, Azazel." "As I said before... Spirit Engineering is fascinating, but hold yourself back a little. Combining technology from two worlds isn''t easy." Huo Yuhao shook his head because this always happened when two geniuses met each other. "Chen, go to yourb and finish that project." "That project, you mean the Spirit Energy generator?" Xiao Chen tilted his head. "Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded casually. "I noticed the Spirit Energy in the atmosphere hasn''t grown muchpared to one year ago. The percentage is too low for a Spirit Master to cultivate." "At this point, our new members wouldn''t meet their peak potential." "Fine." Xiao Chen wanted to start a new project with the material Huo Yuhao gave to him, but the leader''s order was the highest. "Oh yeah, catch." Huo Yuhao opened his palm and caught a Spatial Ring, "This is?" Xiao Chen smugly walked away and replied, "All the research I have done in the past year, alongside the materials. There are some rare items there from Mount Olympus and Asgard." "Thanks." Huo Yuhao threw the ring into his inventory. And Xiao Chen casually waved his back. "Follow me, Azazel. Let''s visit Gabriel." "You want my knowledge, no?" "I love you, Boss!" Azazel went for a hug, but Huo Yuhao dodged him with disgust. Grayfia looked down at Azazel and replied, "Don''t do anything weird, Azazel. I don''t want to waste my bullets on you." "Uh..." Amaterasu observed this situation in confusion. "Weirdo." "..." Azazel. He felt attacked when Amaterasu ndered him. He knew very well this Goddess of the Sun was an entric fellow too. They walked to the Library of Heaven, a small library on the corner of the floating ind. Huo Yuhao entered the gate and sensed a spatial movement in the air. "Father~!!" A soft sensation attacked his face, making Grayfia slightly irritated. An angel has descended and hugged Huo Yuhao intimately. "Wee back~!" Gabriel kissed Huo Yuhao''s cheek. Huo Yuhao smiled and patted Gabriel''s softback, brushing her wings gently. "I''m back. How are you?" He asked calmly. Gabriel let out a happy smile and answered, "Me? Gabriel is fine, Father." "It''s a little bit lonely here, but I''m doing my job very seriously." "Thanks to the martial soul you awakened." "d to hear that." Huo Yuhao grabbed Azazel''s shoulder, telling Gabriel he wanted to grant this fallen angel level 2''s authority. Gabrial summoned her sword and dropped it on Azazel''s shoulder, making the golden-haired fallen angel shine excitedly. "With the authority given and witnessed by Gabriel Eddelweis and Huo Yuhao, I vowed that anything rted to Dragon Nest wouldn''t get known to the public or enemy. Even If I die." Azazel dered with a firm and clear tone. "You''re free to ess level 2." Gabriel epted the vow. "Yoohoo~!" Azazel entered the library and disappeared from their vision. "Thank you, Boss!" With the maniac gone, Huo Yuhao was left behind with three beauties on his side. "Let''s have lunch. Mom should have been waiting." He said while locating Huo Yun''er position, finding her in the private quarter with Scathach and Qianye Ying''er. There are several familiar presences there too. Chapter 178: Huo Yuhaos Peerage Chapter 178: Huo Yuhao''s Peerage I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 175 --- "Oh, look who is back." Scathachzilyy on the couch and exposed her bare stomach to everyone. She is snacking on roasted peanuts, staring at the Underworld Television Program. Today is her resting day, so the god yer only wears short pants and a loose purple t-shirt. Huo Yuhao amusingly smiled when hearing Scathach''sment and replied, "It''s just one day? It''s nothingpared to a full year where I am not around, no?" "Here, a souvenir." He ced a handguard on the couch. Scathach''s eyes brightened as she could sense something special about this damaged handguard. There is also an immense martial intent left behind each crack. It gave off the feeling of an "Undying Warrior." like her. "That''s the only armor piece that survived the war I went through in Titania Bolos. Some of my enemies'' aura seeped through and added a "bloody effect." on it. You can find meter to fix and strengthen that handguard." Huo Yuhao said with a small smile. Touching the crack on the handguard, Scathach shook her head andmented, "You went through a lot, huh? Fine, I epted this small souvenir." "But I still need a bigger one." She eyed Huo Yuhao''s pants, making him sigh in defeat. "Yes, yes. Everything for my Shishou." Since the handguard is part of the ck Star Armor Set, it went through harsh tempering in the Monster Dimension. It also survived the big bang-like explosion, which somehow evolved the material. Huo Yuhao was either lucky or receiving benefits after a disaster at that moment. Still, he was confident his Shishou could do something with the handguard. Her Primordial Rune Mastery isn''t for nothing. Huo Yun''er walked off the kitchen, bringing a massive hotpot onto the dining table. Qianye Ying''er followed from behind and brought some side dishes. "Everyone, it''s lunchtime." Huo Yun''er huffed in satisfaction and told everyone to sit down. Everyone sat down around the dining table, staring at Huo Yun''er cooking with surprised looks. ''I lost... I didn''t know Mistress Huo was such a skilled chef as she never cooked anything around me. No wonder Huo Yuhao-sama has a rich pallet.'' Grayfia solemnly thought to herself. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao grabbed a seat andmented, "Hmm, it smells amazing like usual." Raising her nose proudly, Huo Yun''er opened her mouth and replied, "Of course! I can''t disappoint my beloved son with poor dishes, can''t I? You deserved a banquet, but I thought my home cook should ease your homesickness." "True." Huo Yuhao chuckled, remembering three years without any warm food. Well, it''s not like he has to eat because his True Kroman lineage allows him to live without consuming anything for centuries. Eating up the food, Huo Yuhao looked around the dining table and smiled at this hearty atmosphere. And everyone he cherished. Yes, this is it. It''s what he has been missing for a while. ''Ah, this warm rice in my mouth.'' ''This happy environment.'' ''I felt emotional...'' Huo Yuhao pulled his sleeve and wiped his eyes from the dust. Of course, thedies noticed his not-so-suspicious action but gave him a knowing smile. They aren''t dumb. Huo Yuhao must have suffered a lot in his trials, and they are here to heal him after that tiring moment. "Here... Eat more, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er ced a piece of meat into Huo Yuhao''s bowl. "Yeah, eat more veggies too." Qianye Ying''er also ced a leaf of lettuce submerged in the hotpot''s broth. "You''re so skinny. It''s a miracle that your muscle hasn''t deteriorated after being passive for a year." Scathach nodded, pushing a te of roasted fish near him. "I couldn''t help but wonder what you have been eating there." "Honestly speaking, I was consuming air most of the time." Huo Yuhao answered weakly, knowing Universal Breathing Technique is his go-to to replenish energy and stamina. "Try this, Yuhao-sama/Father~!" Grayfia and Gabriel don''t want to lose, giving Huo Yuhao some dishes. And the lunch passed so quickly, leaving the dining table empty. ... ... Huo Yuhao crashed the couch and leaned on Huo Yun''er soft shoulder, cuddling with her essentially. "I hope my absence doesn''t affect the conquering progress." He suddenly said. Huo Yun''er giggled and replied, "Don''t worry. We are doing just fine." "Those pesky gods couldn''t do anything against us. Remember that you''re not the only pir in the Dragon Nest, Hao''er." "Yeah." Huo Yuhao checked his inventory, scrolling through pages upon pages. "I''ve been saving this for years." "That is..." Huo Yun''er blinked in surprise. "Did you get Ajuka to make Evil Pieces for you?" "Haha, yeah... Something like that." Yes, Huo Yuhao currently holds a True Evil Piece, an empress piece with a decorated tiara entirely made of unknown materials. It released a dim blue light simr to Huo Yuhao''s eye color. "You''ll be my first Empress, Mother." "What do you think?" Huo Yun''er yed around with his hair and responded, "Me? As expected of my Hao''er. Well, I''ll dly ept that position." Huo Yuhao pushed the Empress Piece to Huo Yun''er chest, hearing a notification from Evo. [Ding! You have added "Huo Yun''er." to your peerage] [Boosting innate power and raw potential of Huo Yun''er by 500%] [After a certain period, the Host could use some Huo Yun''er abilities...] Huo Yun''er was stunned for a moment and rxed her slender fingers confusingly. She bes more powerful with a leap. A leap! It''s not even a little increase as Huo Yun''er could feel the burst of energy within her Soul Core. Like any good Dragon Nest member, Huo Yun''er has formed Three Soul Cores simr to Huo Yuhao''s. The method is somewhat different, though. Huo Yun''er used Tails-Marked Cores, which separated her power into three parts. The Mind, Spirit, and Body each possessed three tails of Divine Fox. And now, an additional core developed based on her soul, making it ten tails. ''This should be impossible, but we are talking about my beloved Hao''er here. His miracle-like ability never ceases to surprise me.'' The heir of Divine Fox felt a warmth in her chest. Huo Yun''er pped her hand and said, "Amaterasu. Gather all high-ranked girls within our association, including Ophis." "Ying''er, Shishou, Grayfia, Gabriel. Come here, and I''ll bestow my True Evil Piece on you." Huo Yuhao waved his handzily. He was in hisfort zone at this moment. Grabbing four True Evil Pieces, Huo Yuhao merged them sessfully with thedies and heard Evo''s notifications again. [Ding! You have added "Qianye Ying''er." to your peerage] [Ding! You have added "Scathach." to your peerage] [Ding! You have added "Grayfia Lucifuge." to your peerage] [Ding! You have added "Gabriel Edelweiss." to your peerage] [Boosting their innate power and raw potential by 500%] [After a certain period, the Host could use some of your peerage''s members'' abilities...] "Yuhao?" A small gasp echoed in the room. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Ophis stepping out of the magic circle with her mouth wide open. She was in her small form, wearing an elementary student outfit. There is also a small girl around ophis''s size with blonde hair and matching eyes. She has nine soft tails and fluffy fox ears. "Yuhao!" Ophis rushed like a bullet, hugging Huo Yuhao tightly. Huo Yuhao patted Ophis and said, "See... I promised you that I''ll be back." "But are you being a good girl when I''m away, Ophis?" "I..." Ophis tried to dodge his gaze. "I''m a good girl." "Is that so? I believed you then." Huo Yuhao knew how awkward Ophis could be, but that was for another day. "Anyway, do you want to join my peerage, Ophis?" "Peerage?" "Yes, Peerage. Like what the Devil practiced for centuries." Ophis tilted her head and replied, "A normal Evil Piece couldn''t and never will be able to turn me into a devil. They are too weakpared to my infinity." "Who said it was a normal Evil Piece? Look at this." Huo Yuhao pulled out Empress Piece from his inventory. "It might look like a normal Evil Piece, but this version can enhance your potential and power. Defeating Baka Red shouldn''t be a problem for you." "And above all things. You''ll get connected to me for eternity till death part us apart." ''Smooth...'' Thedies thought simultaneously. Unfortunately, Ophis isn''t very skilled in romance. Ophis picked the Empress Piece and swallowed it, making everyone panic instantly. "Don''t eat it! You will get a stomachache." They were speechless. Ophis frowned and answered, "I''m fine." "It tastes kind of nice..." [Ding! You have added "Ophis." to your peerage] [Boosting innate power and raw potential of Ophis by 500%] [After a certain period, the Host could use some Ophis abilities...] "Hmm?" Ophis patted her tummy, feeling the increase in her power. "With this, Baka Red..." "My home..." She mumbled and slowly nced at Huo Yuhao. The definition of "Home." definitely has changed for her. The Dimensional Gap is where she belongs, but Huo Yuhao is a person she wants to stay with forever. ''Do I really want to return to the Dimensional Gap?'' Ophis have been questioning this for a year now. Looking at Huo Yuhao, Ophis realized the attachment and bond she had built. "Don''t overthink it." Huo Yuhaoughed in amusement. "This is also your home, Ophis. I''m sure everyone has said that to you once, at least." "Mm." Ophis nodded, burying her face in Huo Yuhao''s clothes. Huo Yun''er grabbed the blonde-haired girl with nine fox tails and cleared her throat slightly. "Yuhao, let me introduce you to Kunou." She said calmly. "She''s the Co-Ruler of Kyoto alongside Amaterasu and her mother, Yasaka." "N-nice to meet you, Young Master!" The girl responded nervously. "Nice to meet you too, Kunou." Huo Yuhao smiled at her. "And then, I believed introducing her wasn''t the only issue here." Huo Yun''er shook her head and continued, "Kunou is here to request help from the Dragon Nest. She has detected some malicious presence in Kyoto." "I wanted you toze around, to be honest... However, your appearance will make an impact on our enemy." "And not to mention that you haven''t imed God''s Throne in heaven." Gabriel''s eyes excitedly shone as she added, "Yes, father~! You should visit Heaven and take your rightful position." "Okay... One by one." Huo Yuhao understood his mother''s n. "Let''s do some light action." Chapter 179: The Fox Deity Appearance Chapter 179: The Fox Deity Appearance I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 176 --- It was nap time. Huo Yuhao is lying on the couch and hugging Huo Yun''er, or he could say cuddling with her to relieve his longing. He also meditated to restore his Spirit Energy because adding sixdies into his peerage drained so much energy. Thankfully, it''s not 10% of his energy per peerage member, but the whole peerage itself. Well, there is a benefit to having quadruplet martial souls with a near-endless reservoir of Spirit Energy. He could always gather more energy, but a "pause for recharge." in the middle of a heated battle would be dangerous. Even for a tiny fraction of a second, an enemy could catch him off guard like the Nether God''s attack. That would be disastrous. ''Should I create another energy pool?'' A thought shed in Huo Yuhao''s mind. ''Nah, that will cause an imbnce in my current state. I achieved harmony after years of training. Changing it won''t be easy.'' Unlike Theomars, who got reseated to a nk state because of the monster''s ambush, Huo Yuhao couldn''t do the same without the consequences. And losing his cultivation now would be detrimental to conquering High School DxD''s world. ''Then... Why don''t you make an external reservoir? Tian Meng suddenlymented as if it wasn''t a big deal. ''There is no rule saying a Spirit Master couldn''t do it, no?'' "..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t believe his ears for a moment. ''N-No way, Sister Daydream. You. You''re actually so smart.'' ''The Fuck! What do you mean by that?!'' Tian Meng was furious when hearing Huo Yuhao''s nder against her. The audacity of this motherfucker. Huo Yuhao smiled and returned, ''I meant... You always act perverted and edgy when something unique happens. Who would have thought you could solve a problem like this.'' Hearing that, Tian Meng was speechless. Bing Di pped her knees andughed loudly, pitying this worm because what Huo Yuhao said was true. Tian Meng had never shown any significant help besides some nitpickyments. Eluxia, the Cmity Necromancer, always overshadowed Tian Meng in Spiritual Field. And it''s a fact. Even Helena was surprised when Tian Meng could say such a simple yet correct answer. ''To be fair, Papa is overthinking his problem. The better answer is always the simplest one.'' She spoke her thoughts. ''Having a bright mind is sometimes troublesome.'' Huo Yuhaoughed and epted any advice that benefited him, having fun teasing Tian Meng for a couple of minutes. Opening his eyes, Huo Yuhao returned to the real world. "How was it? The nap must be refreshing." Huo Yun''er rested her head on his arm. Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Yeah. It helped me gain some ideas to make Dragon Nest stronger." "Giana." "Yes, Master~!" A small yet adorable holographic fairy leaped from Huo Yuhao''s watch. "Do you need something?" "Start a project under the name of "Universal Battery." on my private server." Huo Yuhao answered calmly. "Hints to Xiao Chen about this matter secretly." "And use resources from blocks 9 to 17 for this project. I don''t want to waste those precious materials." "Should I add Azazel to this project, Master? Even though his personality is quite entric, he is proven to be bright-minded and a genius in the magic scientific field." Giana asked, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle. "Why not?" He poked Giana''s head gently. "If he''s capable enough to gain your recognition, he could enter the team." After all, Giana was "literally." created using his Soul Replica, meaning her judgment is no less than his. And she is technically Helena''s older sister by default. "Noted. I''ll be notifying Azazel about this secretly." Giana disappeared and entered the Dragon Nest''s server. Huo Yun''er watched this and shook her head because Huo Yuhao was the coolest when doing his job. "Hao''er, about Kyoto''s issue. Some rogue from the now-destroyed Khaos Brigade will appear tonight." She stated casually. "Their motive is unclear, but knowing this small group''s leader. His temperament is not very good." "Was it Cao Cao?" Huo Yuhao questioned while stretching his limbs. The meditation is quite refreshing. Huo Yun''er nodded and continued indifferently, "Yes, he is. That young man didn''t know where he should stop." "And Indra, A God from Hindu Faction, even backed him up." "There is a possibility Indra is present there too. It''s not like he could do anything against my beloved Hao''er, but please don''t destroy Kyoto because it would be a massive loss for us." "Why so?" Huo Yuhao was confused. Huo Yun''er couldn''t answer Huo Yuhao for a few minutes, clearing her throat nervously. "Kuhum, there are some important industries in Kyoto, and losing them will be a big loss for us." She didn''t exin the industries to Huo Yuhao, making him smile wryly. Well, he could guess it more or less. "Maybe it''s time for Yae to have her own body, mom." Huo Yuhaomented, which made Huo Yun''er stunned for a moment. She stared at him and giggled in defeat. "Haha... Nothing escaped those beautiful eyes of yours, huh? I thought Yae was covered with Godly Illusion already, but it seems less effective now." ''Switch with me for a moment, Yun''er. It''s the first time your son noticed my presence.'' A voice echoed in Huo Yun''er head. "Yae wanted to talk with you. Are you okay with it?" Huo Yun''er asked, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. Closing her eyes, Huo Yun''er immersed herself in an illusionary world and changed ces with Yae. And the first thing Huo Yuhao noticed once Yae opened her eyes was the fox pupil different from his mom''s. "Nice to meet you, I guess?" Yae gave him a smug look. "I have many questions rted to you, young man. Like how did you get my legacy." "Anyway, that''s not important now. Your mother is currently on thest step of her Deitification, a critical stage where one''s soul transcends mortality and bes a Deity." "With me inside her, sounds weird... I know. Huo Yun''er couldn''t be a true deity. A mountain can''t have two tigers, well two foxes in our case, or a disaster would happen." "That''s why I wanted you to create a suitable vessel for me. It has to be a vessel with Yin and Yang nature, possessing a strong affinity toward illusion and fire element." "Ah, also with big boobs and nice ass. Thighs as well." She added casually. "As for everything else, I leave it to you." "I see that you''re quite cultured like me and have nice taste in women." "Seriously?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback by this woman''s statements. "I''m seriously serious. Women wanted to look beautiful no matter how old they were," Yae pouted while shaking her body. "Do you have a problem with it, hmm?" "No..." "Great~!" Yae hugged him. "Take this as a small reward. As you finished my new body, this big sister is all yours." "Oh yeah, Kyoto was one of Dragon Nest''s most significant ies this year. You better be careful with that Indra guy." "See ya~!!" [Ding! You have triggered two quests] [Name: Kyoto''s Safety] [Objective: Protect Kyoto, Defeat Heroes Faction, and Kick The God of War Indra away from the location(0/3)] [Reward: 1x ck Gold Upgrading Ticket and Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art] [Penalty: -10% of Yae Affection] [Name: Yae''s Request] [Objective: Built or Obtain a suitable vessel for Yae(0/1)] [Reward: 1x ck Gold Upgrading Ticket and World Travelling Ticket''s Piece(1/4)] [Penalty: -10% of Yae Affection] [Do you want to ept these quests?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao epted the quests because they would benefit Huo Yun''er in the long run. Even though The rule of Deitification is new to him, it is most likely simr to how a Limit Douluo bes God in Douluo Dalu''s Universe. "That''s quick." Huo Yun''er regained control of her body. "Did Yae say something outrageous to you, Hao''er?" "No, not really." Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly. "I handled someone simr all the time." Huo Yun''er chuckled andmented, "Must be tedious." "Yup." Huo Yuhao recalled Tian Meng in his Spiritual ne. "Gonna have a trip to theb first. After that, I''ll visit Kyoto with somedies. Is that okay?" "Do whatever you want. Mom is waiting here." Huo Yun''er said while resting on the couch. She grabbed the remote and changed the tv program to a drama. ''I wonder if all women went through the same stage...'' Huo Yuhao nced at the drama ying on the television. He called Grayfia through the peerage link and told her to meet him at the front door. Ophis is attending Elementary ss in the Dragon Nest''s Compound. Gabriel is doing her job in the Library of Heaven. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er went shopping for new clothes. Huo Yuhao arrived at the front gate and was "immediately." greeted by a familiar-looking milf. He smiled and said, "It''s been a while, Raikou-san." "Ara~! Wee back, Honey~!" Raikou answered while embracing him warmly. "I missed you." "So, when is our date?" "Uh..." Huo Yuhao reacted awkwardly. He did promise to spend more time with Minamoto no Raikou. "Yuhao-sama?" Another three voices appeared simultaneously. And none of them were Grayfia. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Venna Bael, Mi Bael, and Nico Robin standing with surprised looks. "I''m back..." Huo Yuhao gave them a smile. "Yuhao-sama~!" Venna moved first and secured a spot on Huo Yuhao''s left arm. "Oh my, I can''t miss my chance." Mi giggled, slowly creeping to Huo Yuhao''s right arm. Nico Robin stared at this scenery and felt slightly jealous, but her position was far near Venna and Mi. "How are you, Robin?" Huo Yuhao asked her. "Eh? I''m doing fine." Nico Robin felt a throbbing sensation in her chest. Oh god, she couldn''t help but feel overwhelmed when seeing Huo Yuhao''s smile. It was Qianye Ying''er fault. ''If only Sister Ying''er didn''t bring me to her cult...'' She always thought of herself as a strong-willed woman, but Qianye Ying''er temptation is like the devil whispering to her ears. "What perfect timing. Do you guys want to follow me?" Huo Yuhao pped his hands. "I''m going to Kyoto." "Okay~!" The four of them responded instinctively. Grayfia Lucifuge arrived using her teleportation magic and witnessed Huo Yuhao get surrounded by four beautiful women. ''I left Yuhao-sama for a few hours, and women swarmed him like moths around a fire. Yet, it''s eptable because I couldn''t handle him myself.'' The Devil Maid recalled their first time, blushing a little. Joining the crowd, Grayfia would never think they would go to Kyoto again. ... ... Several hours have passed in the Dragon Nest''s hiddenb. Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "We are almost there." "I''ll bring the prototype with me. Try to make a better one while I''m away." He grabbed a blue cube-like device on the metal table. Xiao Chen and Azazel lie on the floor in half-dead conditions because working under Huo Yuhao is like hell. This guy''s mind works too fast for them to handle. Azazel is a genius, but Huo Yuhao developed this project from scratch with his god-like processing mind. It doesn''t take them an hour to create a "Universal Battery." or what they call "Mana Cube." now. "Did I hear correctly, "Prototype," he said. It took me years to develop something like Artificial Sacred Gear, but he created something like this so casually." Azaazelined while mming his head on the floor. "What a Monster." Xiao Chenughed and added, "Haha... Our boss is more absurd than you thought." "And don''t just call it Prototype." "After all, the Mana Cube is a revolutionary device." "It could power up our "Hundred." for days." "Yeah..." Azazel has to agree with Xiao Chen. "Who the hell came up with the idea of creating a storage device that could reserve the sun? The amount of energy it could store and strengthen Spirit Master is insane." "I bet we have to make the inferior version soon, cus no way in hell people could use this device..." "Pfff... You predicted our demise." Xiao Chen chuckled in defeat. "But! It was fun!" "Yeah. HAHAHA~!" Azazelughed maniacally. Today, the Mad Researcher and Weapon Maniac became best friends. "By the way, can you share this "Hundred." data things?" Azazel suddenly asked. "Nope, Search it yourself!" ¡­ Huo Yuhao teleported out of the hiddenb, arriving at the peaceful-looking garden. "Sorry for making you guys wait." Huo Yuhao said while looking at the five beautiful women under the pavilion. "Let''s go." "Yes, My Lord/Honey/Yuhao-sama~!" Chapter 180: Kyoto Crisis Chapter 180: Kyoto Crisis I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 177 --- Huo Yuhao and the five beautifuldies arrived at the Yasaka Shrine, where the current vice-leader of the Kyoto Faction lived. It used to be a youkai faction that governed Kyoto before Huo Yun''er came with Amaterasu. "The atmosphere is nice," Grayfiamented while scanning the area with her ruby-like eyes. "I thought there would be heavy attackers here?" Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and replied, "We went on a date here yesterday, Fia. They probably were hiding somewhere else." ''Date?!'' The four otherdies were stunned on the spot. It''s like something burned inside them all of a sudden. Minamoto no Raikou blinked her eyes and called him, "Hey, Honey." "Yes, Raikou-san?" "What about a little tour around Kyoto? Even though I''m part of this country''s history, witnessing its growth in the recent year was fascinating to me. You know, just you and me." Hearing Raikou''s slick request, Venna twirled her hair and said, "W-Well, it''s been a while since I visited the human world. I don''t mind a small tour around the area." "That''s true... We were busy cultivating in the main base." Mi nodded her head while nning something too. "Uh..." Nico Robin stared at these women with an amazed look. She also wanted to be closer to Huo Yuhao, but knowing thepetition intensity, she decided to take it slow. Even though Robin is confident in her beauty, having such a thing ismon in this world. There are beauties left and right with unique traits, such as Devil, Angel, Vampire, and even Gods. And she shouldpete with them? Being an attractive woman isn''t enough to charm Huo Yuhao. That''s what Qianye Ying''er taught to everyone in her cul-! Club! ''Personality, huh?'' Nico Robin thought while looking down at her trapped chest. She modestly dressed because visiting Kyoto was part of the job, which also applied to otherdies apanying Huo Yuhao. "Well, looking around new ces is fine to me. As an archaeologist, gaining new knowledge is interesting enough." "Kyoto, I can''t wait to see what this beautiful city could offer." "Then, do you want me to escort you guys? Fufu~." A feminine voice from behind. It caused Nico Robin to turn around at breakneck speed. They followed the voice''s source and saw a young woman with a voluptuous body, wearing a loose shrine maiden outfit. She had very long blonde hair with matching golden eyes. A woman with delicate facial features and her eyebrows are cut very short and round. "My name is Yasaka, and I''m the vice leader of the Thousand Women Association." The woman introduced herself. "Wee to Kyoto, Young Master Huo." "Thedies too." She smiled at them politely. Nico Robin sighed in relief because Yasaka''s appearance almost triggered her to use Devil Fruit''s ability. Even though this woman doesn''t seem to possess ill intentions, growing up in a chaotic pirate world makes Robin enter fight-or-flight now and then. Huo Yuhao patted Nico Robin''s shoulder and said, "Everything is fine with me around, Robin. You can depend on me, you know? Haha." Nico Robin let out a small chuckle and replied, "I''ll do so, Yuhao-sama." Nico Robin was indebted to Huo Yuhao, but leaning on his back didn''t seem bad. She has a crew in the pirate world that could give her a sense of reassurance and family, but Huo Yuhao makes her feelfortable. Noticing Nico Robin''s alert reaction, Yasaka felt somewhat horrible about her sudden entrance to the group. She didn''t mean this because they seemed absorbed in the environment. "I''m sorry for theck of awareness." Yasaka bowed slightly. "I''ll be more careful with my approach from now on." "Lady there." Yasaka stared at Nico Robin with a worried expression. "As the vice leader of the Thousand Women Association, I''ll try my best topensate you." "It''s fine." Nico Robin responded awkwardly. "You haven''t done anything wrong, Yasaka-san." "No, I can''t leave this behind! Follow me! I''ll escort you guys around the Yasaka Shrine." Yasaka firmly dered, which honestly made her look adorable. Yasaka gracefully escorted them throughout the Yasaka Shrine. The excitement in her eyes when telling them about the history of this ce was so bright akin to shining gold. They arrived at the living quarter of the Yasaka Shrine, where Yasaka and Kunou lived together for years. It was afortable Japanese-stylepound with a lush bamboo forest surrounding it. Not far away, there is also a calm-streaming river nearby, flowing from a mountain behind the shrine. As they enjoyed the scenery while drinking tea that Yasaka made personally for them, the blonde nine-tailed fox opened her mouth and said, "Shall we talk about the problem now?" "Go ahead." Huo Yuhao nodded casually, acknowledging Yasaka''s ability to create this peaceful mood. Yasaka sipped her tea calmly and stated, "Around a week ago, or more precisely eight days ago. The Rune Barrier set up by the Goddess Huo was "briefly." broken down by an outsider." "It was such a small gap, but enough to smuggle a few people within five minutes. Those people infiltrated Kyoto and hid in the shadow carefully." "They got trapped here, but with an unknown motive... I don''t want to take any chances and request help from the Dragon Nest." "Very well. But what about Indra? That God of War should have entered Kyoto as well, no?" Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully. Yasaka sighed and answered shamefully, "We couldn''t detect God Indra, Young Master Huo. Even though my strength is qualified to satisfy Instructor Scathach''s criteria, detecting a being with divinity is outside my realm." "And Amaterasu-sama was out of reach till yesterday. She entered her cave(home) back to train her power under Goddess Huo''s order." ''Just for giving me a wallet...'' Huo Yuhao now realized how humorous Huo Yun''er influence over this ce was. Nico Robin suddenly opened her mouth and questioned, "Is there any casualty that happened in thest eight days? If there is, I''d like to see the map and route of the infiltrator." "Yes, there is. The outsider attacked some ces across Kyoto and killed over ny-six youkai. Mainly Tengu and Nekoshou." Yasaka replied while cing Kyoto''s map before them, highlighting ces with red dots. "Nekoshou?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. Yasaka tilted her head and reconfirmed her words, "Ah, I mean Nekomata, Young Master Huo. I sometimes forget Nekoshou and Nekomata are different but somewhat connected." "A year ago, when Goddess Huo appeared, she unified the West Youkai Faction and East Youkai Faction. Well, it was either die or surrender condition, so most of the East Youkai Faction surrounded quickly." "Fast forward to now, Kansai and Kyoto are under the control of the Dragon Nest. The Thousand Women Association is just a subpany." "You might know the current leader of the Nekoshou n, Young Master Huo. She''s a beautiful young Nekoshou with the name Kuroka." "I see..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile a little, remembering the mischievous cat girl. Nico Robin scanned the map and mumbled, "Something is weird." "Why does the pattern of attacks seems to be directed outside Kyoto? As if they want to draw our attention away." "I mean... If they want to do something in this city, shouldn''t it be at an important ce?" "Like this castle, for example." Her finger pointed at the castle nearby. It was a castle built by Tokugawa Shogunate in 1626 and was "currently." used as a tourist spot. "Oh no..." Yasaka reacted as if something horrible would happen. "That ce... Nijo Castle is the ce where Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi kept." "Kusanagi, the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven..." Grayfia pondered about something. "A holy sword. Why did they aim for such an item, knowing it wouldn''t work against Yuhao-sama." "It wouldn''t work on Lord Yuhao, but still extremely fatal for us, Grayfia." Venna Baelmented while shaking her head. "Living around Lord Yuhao and others from the Dragon Nest changes your perspective." "You can''t me her... I''d think the same with the Invincible Devil God-Sama around me." Mi teased Grayfia, making the Devil Maid blush a little. "I wonder what kind of date you had with him." "T-That''s a secret..." Grayfia whispered, dodging the gazes from Venna and Mi. Minamoto no Rakou has been quiet for the entire conversation, staring at the Kyoto Map with a nostalgic look. It was a rough sketch, but she could see somendscapes simr to the past. ''This is a different world than mine, but their history isn''t too far-fetched. Of course, me being a male in this world is somewhat weird, but whatever...'' Raikou thought to herself, overhearing about the Kusanagi. "Hmm??" "Are you interested, Raikou-san?" Huo Yuhao suddenly called her name. "A little," Raikou responded with a nod. Loud footsteps echoed in the corridor. "YASAKA-SAMA!" A tengu appeared after pushing away the sliding door. "P-Princess Kunou is kidnapped!" "A group of humans appeared and kidnapped her from the Teleportation Gate." Yasaka''s golden eyes widened in disbelief, knowing the Teleportation Gate was a protected ce. "What happened? Tell me in detail?" She calmed herself. "Princess Kunou is returning home after school. She was about to cross the road, but a purple mist suddenly appeared with a human, who warned us about their n." "H-He told us to hand over Rune Stones from the Dragon Nest and yourself as ransom if you want Kunou to be safe." The tengu kneeled on the ground. He gritted his teeth because he couldn''t do anything. "When and where?" Huo Yuhao asked while finishing his tea. "Tonight. Nijo Castle." The tengu answered worriedly. Yasaka rubbed her temple and said, "They resorted to kidnapping my child in the end, huh?" "What a group of trash..." Dark aura swirls from Yasaka''s body, which Huo Yuhao is familiar with because he has seen Scathach ughter aura. "It''s probably a Sacred Gear User, A Dimension Lost, to be exact." Huo Yuhaomented calmly. "It can manipte space and create barriers, allowing them to exploit Primordial Rune Barrier''s weakness." "No wonder." "Yasaka, just ept their terms for now. I''ll help you." "Thanks, Young Master Huo." Yasaka kneeled to him. "I''ll follow your advice and order from now on." "You don''t have to..." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. Yasaka shook her head and returned, "No! I insist!" "But why did they need something like Rune Stones? It''s useless for them." Venna said. After all, only Spirit Master could benefit from the Rune Stone. Absorbing it without being one is suicide because the Spirit Beast''s Spirit Ring within the Rune Stones is wild. Not to mention thepatibility, adding Spirit Ring into an unawakened body(martial soul) will result in Energy Overload. And Death. "We only have to find out." Raikou shrugged her shoulders, making Huo Yuhaough. "Yes, we have to find out the reason." Huo Yuhao''s shadow expanded and covered the whole room, causing countless shadowy eyes to appear. "And let''s make it interesting." Chapter 181: Kyotos Attack Chapter 181: Kyoto''s Attack I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 178 --- In a dimension protected by severalyers of barriers, Cao Cao rested his spear on the shoulder and looked down on the daughter of Kyoto''s leader. "As expected... It''s disgusting to see." Hemented, which made Kunou grim a little. Kunou is a clever girl. She knew her situation wasn''t favorable, and being surrounded by dangerous Sacred Gears users was even worse. She knew Cao Cao, the descendant of Cao Cao himself, the current holder of True Longinus. Besides Cao Cao, Kunou could see some other humans who "likely." were most likely descendants of famous heroes throughout history. They are also possessors of powerful Sacred Gears. The first person Kunou currently sees is a ck-haired young man with sses who kidnaps her from the Teleportation Gate using his Sacred Gear. He wore this weird japanese-gakuran high school uniform with a mage robe. "What? Are you mad because I kidnapped you?" Georg spoke calmly. Kunou stayed quiet and nced at the girl beside the sses guy, seeing a beautiful young foreign woman with blonde hair and sky-blue eyes. Like Cao Cao, she wore a gakuran high school outfit with an armor or chest te worn on top of it. ''What a weird fashion for a girl...'' Kunou squinted her golden eyes because Goddess Huo and Sister Ying''er were thousand times more fashionable than this young foreign woman. ''Those eyes... Why did I feel so judged?'' Jeanne covered her treasured chest te. "Stop staring at me like that, Youkai-chan!" "Ugh..." Kunou doesn''t feel impressed by the nickname. Changing her attention to other members, Kunou was startled by a two-meters tall man with a well-built body and shoulder-length gray hair. He wore the same uniform as his group but with greek-inspired armor on top. "Hahaha~!" Heraclesughed at Kunou. "Are you afraid, little monster? Right, be afraid of me. That''s how it should be...! Trembles before The descendent of the great hero Heracles!" Heracles''s arrogant statement irked Kunou a little because Teacher Scathach could beat this guy without lifting a finger, probably erasing him from existence too. ''Dumb muscle guy, next.'' Kunou breathed in, spotting an edgy-looking young man. He has neck-length ck hair styled in a bun and a pair of shades, wearing a gakuran uniform. No armor or robe, just a straight-up high school outfit. "..." Kunou had never felt so disappointed in her life. "I could feel darkness flow within me... The shadow." Con mumbled to himself, leaving Kunou speechless. And Not far from the edgy young man, a boy sat down with his book. He is a short, dark-skinned young boy with gray-blue hair and purple eyes. Like other members of the Hero Faction, he wears the same damn outfit with a dark robe. "Hmm... This Anti-Youkai monster isn''t bad. I can make it easier to kill Youkai." Leonardo stared at the picture in the book. "The only downside is its low durability." "I needed some references and information about the Blue-Eyed Dragon God. Hey, you there. Can you tell me his weaknesses?" He stared at Kunou indifferently. Kunou felt a weird sensation all over her body. Something about this body is creeping her out. "I won''t tell you..." Kunou bares her fangs at Leonardo. PA! Leonardo threw his book at Kunou and said, "Then, Die." Cao Cao sighed at this situation andmented, "Calm down, Leonardo. We couldn''t kill her yet." "Without the rune stones that our contractor needed to extract the power from another world. And Yasaka, we couldn''t open the treasure gate." "Yeah, that''s true... Leo, I wouldn''t let that small monster get into my head if I was you. HAHAHA~!" Heraclesughed, making Leonardo pout in annoyance. Jeanne shook her head at this sight and said, "Still, why are theyte? It''s been a week since we nned this operation, but the backup hasn''t arrived yet. Did they betray us?" Georg fixed his sses and replied, "I think they wanted to test us with this mission. No matter what, attacking Kyoto isn''t so simple." "We couldn''t just run away, you know? We''re bound to fight someone strong sooner orter." "Indra is monitoring us..." Cao Cao closed his eyes. "Even though I couldn''t sense his presence, this lingering sensation of being watched isn''t just gut feeling." "My spear is itching for real God''s blood." Kunou felt this weird sense of stupidity when hearing Cao Cao''s bold statement. And As expected from the person who wields the strongest Sacred Gear, True Longinus. His delusion has no bound. Having a powerful weapon doesn''t mean you are invincible. That was what Teacher Scathach taught her. ''I hope mother won''t do reckless things, but with Young Master Huo here... There shouldn''t be any problem from extracting enough information and adapting to this group''s needs.'' Kunou used Universal Breathing Technique to calm herself. Panic has no use in this situation. Kunou has to conceal her strength and use it to her advantage. ... ... Nijo Castle. Yasaka stood in a vast field, waiting for the heroes'' faction to appear before her. She breathed in a few times and noticed her shadow blinked back at her. She smiled inside because Young Master Huo was probably the most bright-minded person with this idea. The Nijo Castle might appear empty, but the shadow flickers slightly under the moonlight. ''I know he possessed some powerful creatures in his shadow, but this isn''t just some anymore...'' Yasaka sighed inwardly. ''His shadows are a literal army now.'' Sensing the disturbance in the space, Yasaka prepared herself and saw a group of humans with her daughter. She yed a dramatic mother''s role and shouted worriedly, "Kunou!" Of course, she was still worried, but with Huo Yuhao. She is aware Kunou will be fine. "Mother!" Kunou shouted back, trying to shake the barrier around her body. It wrapped her like tape and made every movement hard to do. Cao Cao ignored Kunou''s struggle and stepped forward, looking around to see if Yasaka had tried to do some tricks with this exchange. He couldn''t sense any living beings within the Nijo Castle. "I sensed no magical energy either. The castle is clean." The magician of the group reported to Cao Cao. Nodding his head at Georg, Cao Cao returned his gaze to Yasaka again and said, "Well, it seems you are smart enough." "However, the requirement isn''t finished yet." "Give us the Rune Stones." Yasaka sighed and threw a spatial ring at Cao Cao, making the young man catch it with a smile. Cao Cao had heard of this item for months and wanted to have one for himself. "So this is the spatial ring? Not bad." Hemented while trying to connect his senses to it, allowing him to see a pile of Rune Stones inside the sub-dimension. He didn''t realize the Spatial Ring in his hand was a defective product. And the Rune Stones in the sub-dimension were "actually." created through Huo Yuhao''s Tracing Skill. "Give me back my daughter..." Yasaka''s eyes glowed brightly. Cao Cao smiled and replied, "Sure, sure... In exchange, you''ll walk forward without doing anything. And received the seal we would ce on you." Yasaka walked forward without saying anything and gave Kunou a calm gaze. It was more than enough code to make the young nine-tailed fox realize something. Kunou bobbed her head lightly, waiting for Yasaka to approach Cao Cao first. "Goerg!" Cao Cao shouted with a grin. "Dimension Lost: Bnce Breaker!" "Utopia of the Mist!" Purple mist exploded and covered the whole area of Nijo Castle. Cao Cao grabbed Yasaka by her hair, piercing something into her shoulder. "Kuugh-! What are you..." Yasaka acted painfully. She could feel a throbbing sensation all over her body. "That''s the Berserk Form. It contained the blood of Yamata-no-Orochi and Curse of the Distant Witch, triggering animalistic instinct within monsters like you." Cao Cao kicked Yasaka away. SWOOSH! BAM! Yasakanded several meters away and coughed profusely. "Fox FIRE!" Kunou''s body was illuminated with bright me, burning the area rapidly. BOOM! Cao Cao frowned and watched the golden sh move past him. Kunou arrived at Yasaka''s side in a blink of an eye. Something was burning. Cao Cao looked down and saw the sleeve of his gakuran uniform get slightly charred. This uniform is tailor-made and very durable, but Kunou burned it. "Oh no..." Jeanne said in horror. "You MONSTER BITCH!" Cao Cao roared furiously. Yasaka watched a white light travel through the air and used Youjutsu Spells to create a strong barrier. BOOOOOM!! Cough! ''My body is getting hotter and hotter. It feels ominous. I''ll start losing control at this point.'' Yasaka wiped the blood from her lips. "Kunou, get behind me." "Y-Yes, Mother." Kunou clenched her hand because Yasaka was hurt. Cao Cao summoned the True Longinus and aimed the spear at the mother-daughter nine-tailed foxes. He has no qualms about killing monsters like them. "Die..." "Even If I be mad, I''ll protect my daughter." Yasaka was about to transform into her nine-tailed fox form and felt a tap on her shoulder. "Go rest." Huo Yuhao''s voice entered her ears, causing a wave of relief inside Yasaka''s body. The Beserk Form was "instantly." cleansed by this warm yet pure energy. "You are..." Cao Cao looked at the new person who appeared out of nowhere. "Blue-Eyed Dragon God." "You''re alive, after all." Huo Yuhao smiled and returned, "Not quite a gentleman, I have to say." "Threatening a mother with her daughter and even wanting to kill them off the burnt sleeve. You look like a bratty child who didn''t graduate school, Cao Cao." "That spear, though." "Not a bad weapon, to be honest..." "However..." Huo Yuhao pulled the Darkest Star''s Halberd: Dosa from his inventory. "It''s nothing against me." "As for your question... Of course, I''m alive." "Dying is not even a word in my dictionary." "I don''t know about yours." Cao Cao clenched the True Longinus and chanted, "O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God." "Suck the ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction." "You. Announce the will, and turn it into a glow." "Wipe my enemy from existence! TRUTH IDEA!" A bright golden-white light expanded from True Longinus and covered the whole castle in milliseconds. Its heat induced extreme pain to anyone below it. ''Cheap trick.'' Huo Yuhao thought while resting the Darkest Star''s Halberd: Dosa on his shoulder. As the destructive light powered by the Dying Will of the God of the Bible himself descended, Cao Cao grinned in anticipation and wanted the Blue-Eyed Dragon God to disappear from this world. "Flowing Waves: Great Tsunami." SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!! ck waves appeared and shocked the area in chaos, rotating continuously into this menacing pir. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Cao Cao''s Truth Idea was "abruptly." pushed away, exploding the sky and causing a loud shockwave that shook the whole of Kyoto. Everyone was speechless. It was out of their expectation. The "strongest." attack of True Longinus was "literally." repelled. "..." Cao Cao stared at Huo Yuhao mindlessly. Huo Yuhao yawned casually, showing no worry about repelling such a mind-blowing attack. "Try again, Kid." Chapter 182: A Kick that Split the Heaven Chapter 182: A Kick that Split the Heaven I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 179 --- "Try again, Kid." This line hits Cao Cao hard for a second, realizing the blue-haired monster in front of him is the real deal. He couldn''t help but stare at Huo Yuhao solemnly because some gods rumored him entering aatose state. It''s been a year since Huo Yuhao''s disappearance after conquering the Realm of the Death and killing Hades on the foot of Olympus Mountain. ''He deflected my Truth Idea... Even Indra didn''t take my attack so easily and had to dodge.'' Cao Cao prepared a n to win in this unexpected situation. He nced at Huo Yuhao''s dark lustrous halberd, frowning because that weapon possessed immense presence. And not to mention the swirling energy on its tip, which seemed to have a dangerous gravitational pull. ''Cao Cao, Heracles, and Con have coveted the sword. We are free to go now.'' Georg''s voice appeared in Cao Cao''s head, making the bearer of True Longinus smile inside. Cao Cao pulled a magecraft from his clothes and showed Huo Yuhao a blue crystal. "Let''s meet again, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." He clenched his hand, destroying the crystal into dust. "Siegfried''s life, I''ll repay it in threefolds." A magical energy erupted around Cao Cao''s group and caused a mass teleportation magic. Huo Yuhao watched these delusional youths and shook his head disappointedly. "Null." Huo Yuhao doesn''t even move from his position. SWOOOOOOOOSH! TING! The mass teleportation magic was "instantly." canceled by Huo Yuhao''s Concept of Nullification. The magic system in this world is unbearably poor and has thrown fundamental basics out of the window. Magic is magical. No one could deny that. However, even magic needed a rule. Huo Yuhaoprehended magic in his make-up mystic codes and script, allowing him to manifest or conceptualize his imagination into the real world with the basic premise of "Equal Exchange or Nothing at all.". "Equal Exchange." means the change of demonic energy into magic equally through the "Magic Circle.", powering them while maintaining the universe around it. Or else his magic will destroy space and time, even rewriting existing event into nothingness. Once he breaks his taboo, nothing can stop him besides Godkings. Imagination is a wild thing. Huo Yuhao could have imagined "Coulomb Force." at its peak, and this world is fucked up. Some monsters might survive, but the rest would get erased. As for "Nothing at all.", Huo Yuhao basically possessed the absolute authority of his magic. He could cancel his magic at will, turning them into nothing. It erased any possibility of anyone interfering with his magic or causing an error. Then a question like thises, "Doesn''t that mean Huo Yuhao nerfed himself?" No. Huo Yuhao''s magic is not a simple manifestation of his imagination. If someone said, "magic meant to achieve a higher realm and unrevealed universal mystery." "Magic is an unknown force." "Magic is only good for killing." "Magic is strong because it was a mystery." Then Huo Yuhao will answer like this, "My magic is a code. I could write billions of codes to destroy this very world into pieces, but does that mean magic is strong? No, magic is strong because I make it so." "It''s a manifestation of my power." "Nothing magical about it." And right now, everyone will witness its true power. BOOOOOOOM!! The teleportation magic erupted and left the Heroes Faction speechless. "W-What?!" Georg, the magician of the group, detected a demonic power overpowering everything in the area. It negated any magic to be activated. Anti Magic is a thing, but this is something else. Cao Cao used the Magic Crystal imbued by thest descendant of Solomon before she died. It''s an absolute space-warping item that could transport the wielder anywhere(in this world only) without cost. It''s so strong that even gods couldn''t prevent it. And someone fucking canceled it. "Fog of Extinction!" Goerg activated his Sacred Gear, securing a distance between them and Huo Yuhao. Jeanne gritted her teeth in disbelief at this situation and activated her Sacred Gear: Bnce Breaker, creating a metallic holy dragon out of swords. "We must get away from this ce, NOW!" She shouted while staring at Huo Yuhao. This sense of fear overwhelmed Jeanne''s rational thinking. "ANNIHILATION MAKER: ANTI DEVIL-DRAGON MONSTER SWARMS!" Leonardo activated Sacred Gear as well and summoned rows upon rows of monsters. Their appearance was simr to that of giant werewolves with thick armor-like scales and red eyes. Not only were these monsters "especially." created to counter Huo Yuhao''s Draconic and Devil traits, but they also negated all magic types. Now we are talking about who is more overpowered. "Oh, we are using numbers now?" Huo Yuhao chuckled while swinging his halberd casually. "Then... Let''s see if your army can handle mine." "Arise." RROOOOOOOOOOARR!! BOOOOOOOOM!! The shadows lurked in the Nijo Castle, awakened and answered their master''s call, crawling from the depth of darkness. Several gigantic creatures with entire bodies of solidified shadow stepped up, towering over the castle. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao has ordered Grayfia and otherdies to create a force field around the Nijo Castle, separating this space from the real world. Or else the quest he had taken from Yae would fail immediately. "My liege..." The four elite shadows, whose strengths rivaled 2nd ss Gods at their peaks, appeared before Huo Yuhao. They kneeled hurriedly to show respect toward him. "What''s your order?" "Kill every werewolf-like creature in your sights, trample them down without any chance to fight back." Huo Yuhao ordered casually. "Show them the power of the Shadow Army, who won the Millenium Crusade..." "Your wish is ourmand, my liege~!!" The shadow army moved, surrounding the Heroes'' Faction with their weapons. Even Cao Cao couldn''t help but rethink his life choices now. Soon the Nijo Castle turned into a loud battlefield. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Huo Yuhao''s Shadow Army and Leonardo''s Annihtion Maker: Monsters shed with utmost intensity, which pales inparison to fighting in the Monster Dimension for three years straight. It''s more like a light warmup for the shadow army. "Cao Cao!" Goerg is called the leader of the Heroes'' Faction. "We need your Truth Idea!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and mumbled, "I know." "O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God." He was about to chant the True Longinus''s most prominent attack, invoking the Dying Will of the Biblical God. However, only stupid people would let it through twice. "Too naive, Kid!" Huo Yuhao suddenly shed to Cao Cao''s side, attacking the young man''s guts with a swift kick. BAM! Cao Cao wasunched like a ragdoll to the castle wall and experienced his entire body shaking in pain. Every cell in his body seemed to scream, wanting to explode. And it was just from one kick. He coughed blood and said, "Bnce Breaker: Pr Night Longinus Chakravartin." Huo Yuhao appeared again before him, lunging the terrifying halberd at Cao Cao''s face. "Parinayakaratana!" Cao Cao screamed with hatred and swung the True Longinus with all his might. CLANK! "Oh?" Huo Yuhao felt the Darkest Star''s Halberd: Dosa lost its force. It''s literally stagnating in the air. Cao Cao''s ability nullified any weapon-rted attacks. "Pr Mirror: Reflection!" Cao Cao drove his spear and struck Huo Yuhao''s chest. Huo Yuhao grinned and pped the True Longinus away with his palm, twisting his other arm like a whip. "Flowing Waves: Tidal Break." BAM! Redirecting the force of True Longinus, which originated from himself, Huo Yuhao destroyed 1/3 of Nijo Castle in the process. He breaks the shock and kicks Cao Cao''s sr plexus again. Cao Cao is strong. However, he''s a ss cannonpared to the Nether God. "ARGHHH!" Cao Cao smashed onto the gravel and caused a deep dent in the ground, shaking everything around it. He groaned and used a potion to heal his injury with difficulty. Huo Yuhao stood calmly, looking down at Cao Cao with a disappointed expression. "Come on, Hero. Is this your limit?" Hemented jokingly. "After all, being chosen by True Longinus granted you a right to be a ughterer, no? As a descendant of a hero, you must destroy beings like Devil, Fallen Angels, and Dragon, which you believe are threats to human beings." "I know many people like you... You branded an entire race based on your justice, not knowing innocent always live in the bad." Cao Cao''s face ckened as he mockingly responded, "What do you know about me?!" "You''re just an outsider from another world." "You''re here to conquer it. A DEMON LORD THAT I SHALL SLAY!" "Yeah, whatever. I don''t care about your backstory. You attacked my people first, and I''ll take everything from you." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes shone indifferently. Cao Cao sent several orbs at Huo Yuhao and attacked him with extreme viscosity. Heunched a barrage of spear strikes, leaving no holes behind for him to dodge. ''Crude.'' Huo Yuhaomented while waving his halberd too. CLANK! BOOM!! CLANK! BOOM!! Each sh and swing caused extreme shockwaves, ripping Nijo Castle apart rapidly. Huo Yuhao could feel Cao Cao''s desperation in his spear, shaking his head because the True Longinus would never reach its full potential in this guy''s hand. What a shame. ''I expected more, but everything ends here.'' Huo Yuhao could feel his Shadow Army defeating Cao Cao''spanions, leaving only this desperate young man alone. "ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!" "O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God." "Suck the ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction." "You. Announce the will, and turn into a glow." "TRUTH IDEA!" "Aren''t you tired of relying upon someone''s will to attack me, Cao Cao? Oh well, I''ll let you see something interesting before your death." Huo Yuhao didn''t move from his position and let the Truth Idea hit him. "DIE!!" Cao Cao roared at the top of his lungs. SWOOSH! BAM! FWIP! The True Longinus struck Huo Yuhao''s chest, but nothing happened to him. The Truth Idea couldn''tnd any damage on Huo Yuhao. "H-HUH?!" "What a fool..." Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement. "Do you think A Dying Will of the Biblical God will hurt its inheritor?" "You might be able to injure other Gods, but not me." "The base of True Longinus''s Truth Idea is empowerment from Biblical God''s dying will, so attacking me who will reim the throne of heaven is a futile attempt. It''s like pouring a cup of water into the sea." "Y-You..." Cao Cao puked a gallon of blood due to the anger and despair Huo Yuhao caused. If a gaze could kill someone, he could have killed this blue-haired monster a million times. Huo Yuhao grabbed True Longinus from Cao Cao''s hand and pierced the spear into his tattered gakuran uniform, creating a massive hole in his chest. [You have used the Concept of Small Plundering on Cao Cao] [You have sessfully plundered the True Longinus: Holy Spear of the Setting Sun] [You have erased Cao Cao using the Concept of Nullification and Destruction] "My liege, we have captured five people." Khiron dragged Cao Cao''s underlings, making them kneel before him. "Y-You killed Cao Cao!" Heracles shouted at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao yawned and replied, "Yeah, so?" "Does it matter?" "I thought killing was normal to you guys." "Well, I don''t care." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and used the same procedure to wipe these people from existence.

Failed] [The Primordial Rune''s connection between Jeanne and Qianye Ying''er is detected] [Erasing her existence will cause substantial damage to Qianye Ying''er] Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes in surprise and said, "Ah... I see." "You''re the spy in the Heroes Faction, right?" Jeanne trembled and replied, "Yes, Master." "It was issued by the Holy Sister Qianye Ying''er to spy on the Heroes Faction''s activity. I couldn''t report anything to her because Cao Cao and others would be suspicious of me." Pa! Pa! A series of ps suddenly echoed in the Nijo Castle. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a man with a buzz-cut hairstyle, greenish-brown hair, andvender eyes. He wore circr sunsses, an aloha shirt, and a jewel around his neck. "You killed them, huh? Pretty merciless as I expected." The man opened his mouth, speaking casually toward Huo Yuhao. "Erasing the evil part of mankind is not a bad move." "Indra, King of the Gods and Lord of Heaven, also the God of War, Storm, and Rainfall." Huo Yuhaomented calmly. "Fancy titles you have there." "I''d like to say the same for you." Indraughed amusingly. They stared at each other silently, gauging their strength. ''Strong.'' They thought at the same time. While Indra felt Huo Yuhao''s energy seemed limitless and filled with a divine-like aura, Huo Yuhao considered Indra as "the most powerful 1st ss God." he had ever met. Indra is strong, but Huo Yuhao didn''t see how this guy could win against him. It''s not arrogance, but the confidence he polished after training with Scathacth for years and defeating the Nether God. Still, they knew this ce wasn''t suitable for a long fight. As much as Indra wants to fight Huo Yuhao, the situation isn''t perfect. "One attack." Huo Yuhao proposed suddenly, which caused Indra to grin at him. "Sure, one attack it is." Indra''s body released extreme electricity. SWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!! They rushed at each other simultaneously, causing the storm to brew in the sky. Indra kicked the ground andunched a punch filled with a divine aura. It was a destructive attack that warped the space around them, breaking the space fabric easily. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao lunged with rotating energy waves on his right leg, sending a normal-looking high kick toward Indra. His attack appeared normal besides the waves, but Indra could perceive immense destructive intent behind it. He bent his body down a little and raised his left arm, kicking the air. There is no waste movement. No waste of energy. Everything seemed to flow into the tip of Huo Yuhao''s leg. "Heavenly Lightning Fist!" Indra shouted his attacking move. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and whispered, "White Room Martial Arts: Recoilless Kick." BANG! Like two opposite forces, Huo Yuhao and Indra caused a moment of silence in the area. A bright light erupted a secondter and wiped Nijo Castle from existence. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Lightning danced in the storm, striking thend continuously. Yet, something seemed to part the heaven apart and let through the moonlight. Cough! Indra staggered on the half-destroyed floor and looked down at a deep groove of a bloody wound on his chest with a surprised expression. He thenughed wildly and said, "Hahaha... Recoilless Kick? A kick that split the heaven apart. What interesting technique you have there." "This is your win, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." "Let''s meet againter." Indra slowly vanished into a mass of electricity. "..." Huo Yuhao. This guy came and left without an invitation. Huo Yuhao looked down at his right leg and felt a throbbing sensation there. It''s not bad, just a little sprained after receiving Indra''s punch. [Ding! You have finished a quest] [Rewarding 1x ck Gold Upgrading Ticket and Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art] "Well, this is going to be more interesting than I expected." Huo Yuhao smiled a little. Chapter 183: Kyoto Arcs End Chapter 183: Kyoto Arc''s End I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 180 --- Six days have passed after the slight problem Heroes Faction created in Kyoto. Yasaka resolved everything perfectly, cleaning the destroyed Nijo Castle and recing it with the new one because it is still a tourist spot. Apparently, the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi or Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven that the Heroes Faction tried to steal was a fake. The real one is always on Amaterasu''s side after her brother gives it to her. Huo Yuhao also learned why Cao Cao and his group wanted to possess Rune Stones through Jeanne. As the Dragon Nest''s presence is known to the whole world, some of the knowledge from Douluo Dalu''s Universe is leaked forcibly by reading Dragon Nest''s member soul. However, it was darker than that. A group of Evil Gods wants to use Rune Stones'' essence to open the dimension gate toward Douluo Dalu''s Universe. Indra is somewhat connected to this matter because he was Cao Cao''s supporter, but his attitude when meeting Huo Yuhao was weird. There is a third person between Cao Cao and Indra, which Huo Yuhao didn''t know as he only watched the anime. Hecked some information but was not discouraged by it. Another question would be, why did Huo Yuhao stay for six days in Kyoto when the mission was already over? The answer to that is rtionship. Huo Yuhao has five dates in a row with Venna, Mi, Raikou, Robin, and Yasaka. Such jealousy-inducing news, but being a Harem Protagonist is challenging indeed. Of course, Huo Yuhao didn''t push their rtionship further than going on a date because his rtionship with these charming women anddies is still shallow. Even though Huo Yuhao is horny, he knows how to keep his little brother in check. Even with Yasaka, Huo Yuhao only enjoyed the onsen and alcohol with the blonde nine-tailed fox. They talked about life stories and hobbies they had, nothing special happened, but they felt good about the first date. The only exception is Venna. The thirsty devil couldn''t wait and requested Huo Yuhao to pop her cherry on their first date. As a gentleman, Huo Yuhao couldn''t refuse and fulfilled her needs. He also added her to the peerage. Huo Yuhao offered otherdies to join his peerage too, but Mi and Yasaka kindly refused because they felt their qualifications fell shortpared to other women. They believed there would be more deserving individuals for the spot in his peerage. In the end, Huo Yuhao only gained three more peerage members. ... ... Huo Yuhao stood in the mountain field behind Yasaka Shrine and faced Kunou. The young nine-tailed fox created several fox-shaped fireballs andunched them at him. He dodged effortlessly and noticed some fireballs were "actually." fake, which could confuse the enemy. Still, it won''t work on him. As the golden sh skipped the fireballs, Huo Yuhao tilted his head and dodged Kunou''s fiery fist. He smiled and flicked Kunou''s forehead gently, sending her flying like a shuttlecock. "Ugh... My forehead." Kunou rubbed her forehead painfully. "Big brother Yuhao, at this point, I''d grow a horn and be an oni because of you." Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Haha, that won''t happen." Kunou puffed her cheeks andined, "No fun!" Shaking his head, Huo Yuhao went to Kunou''s side and patted her head gently. "You''ve be more powerful in just six days, Kunou." Hemented proudly. "Keep training your me and Spirit Energy, and you''ll be even stronger than some gods in this world." [Kunou''s Loyalty has increased] [You now could awaken Kunou''s Martial Soul] [Do you want to awaken Kunou''s Martial Soul?] [Yes/No] "Here, I give you a little gift." Huo Yuhao pressed the yes and watched Kunou squirm ufortably for a moment. [Ding! Kunou has awakened the "Mourning Fox''s Feathers Fan."] [Name: Mourning Fox''s Feathers Fan] [Type: Martial Soul] [Grade: S+] [Description: Mourning Fox''s Feathers Fan is a martial soul awakened from the deepest part of Kunou''s soul. It could control fire and wind elements. Also grants a blessing toward the deceased] [Scanning Kunou Status...] [Name: Kunou] [Race: Nine-Tailed Fox(Youkai)] [Age: 13 years old] [Martial Soul: Mourning Fox''s Feathers Fan] [Cultivation: Level 10(Spirit Trainee)] [Battle Power: Level 42/Spirit Ancestor] [Description: The Princess of Kyoto and the needy younger sister] A fan made from rows of beautiful blue feathers appeared above Kunou''s head. It has a handle made of mahogany wood and a small fox tail ornament connected at the end. "So this is my martial soul..." Kunou waved around her fan. It was adorable to see. Huo Yuhao scrolled his inventory and searched for Rune Stone suitable for Kunou''s martial soul. "This is it." He picked up a ck Rune Stone. "Kunou, take this and crush it with your hand." "After that, absorb the energy into your body." "Okay." Kunou trusted Huo Yuhao and followed his order, crushing the Rune Stone with her hand. A ck spirit ring appeared and hovered near her. Huo Yuhao assisted the young nine-tailed fox and watched her seed in absorbing a ck spirit ring an hourter. It is different between Douluo Dalu Universe and Highschool DxD. While Douluo Dalu is higher in power and cosmology, people from Highschool DxD had a better start because of the Dragon Nest''s influence. Also, powerhouses like Grayfia Lucifuge and other Devil Kings, who possessed Title Douluo''s strength before awakening her martial soul, are more monstrous than normal limit douluo. Sooner orter, they would ovep the Spirit Master with old standards in the Douluo Dalu''s Universe. It obviously would happen when Huo Yuhao brought them there. Remember, Old Standards. The Dragon Nest will not be affected by their new allies'' presence. "Yuhao-sama!" Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Nico Robin waving her hand excitedly at him. "Ie to bring you lunch," Robin said while showing a lunchbox. "Let''s eat together. Kunou~!" Kunou nodded and replied, "Yey, Let''s eat together~!" As they sat down and ate their lunch, Huo Yuhao checked Nico Robin''s status. He didn''t have time to peek thest time because he wanted to enjoy his time with her. [Scanning Nico Robin''s Status...] [Name: Nico Robin] [Race: Human] [Age: 29 years old] [Devil Fruit: Hana Hana no Mi] [Martial Soul: Origami Paper(7+)] [Cultivation: Level 73/Spirit Saint] [Battle Power: 81/Spirit Douluo] [Description: Nico Robin is the Devil Child from Ohara, the only survivor of the saddening event] [Ding! The system has reviewed Nico Robin''s Future Path] [Rmended Path: Thousand-Armed Mystique Witch, Flower Demon Woman, The Greatest Archeologist, Myriad Changing Demi-Goddess, Dragon Nest''s Advisor, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] "..." Huo Yuhao expected thest rmended path already. It''s routine at this point. Nevertheless, Huo Yuhao had to say Robin''s Rmended Paths are unique. For example, Myriad Changing Demi-Goddess is "probably." rted to her Origami Paper''s martial soul, which allowed her to change its shape. And Thousand-Armed Mystique Witch is her Devil Fruit''s abilitybined with magic from this world. Nico Robin received not one but two synergized benefits from two different worlds. "Is there something on my face, Yuhao-sama?" Robin suddenly asked because Huo Yuhao had been staring at her for a while now. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "It''s nothing. I just noticed your skin is healthier than before. I don''t know how to say it, but you are more charming. Something like that." "W-Well, my skincare routine is better now." Nico Robin giggled nervously, hiding her blush with a napkin. Kunou squinted her eyes when staring at these two. She cleared her throat and asked, "Kuhum... Brother Yuhao, Sister Robin. Are you two going to make babies." Cough! Huo Yuhao choked on his tempura and chugged a bottled water empty to clear his throat. "Kunou, where did you learn these words?" He gave her a reprimanded look. Kunou tilted her head and answered, "Eh? I mean, doesn''t every girl teach when reaching a certain age?" Nico Robin couldn''t help but cover her face in embarrassment and mumbled, "Me, Yuhao-sama, babies..." The lunch ended somewhat awkwardly, causing Robin to sometimes steal a nce at Huo Yuhao. She didn''t say anything, but her intention was clear and shown on her face. Huo Yuhao wanted to change the mood and asked, "Robin, do you miss your homeworld?" However, Robin answered them pretty quickly. "Yes, I missed it." "Even though my homeworld is full of chaos, it is a special ce where I was born and held some of my dear memories... My family and friends are also still there, struggling to survive." "There is still around nine to eight months before we would meet again at Sabaody Archipgo." Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Then, I''ll conquer this world quickly." "I can''t let you down, can''t I?" "No, you never let me down, Yuhao-sama. From the beginning till now, I have always been the one who received your help." Nico Robin shook her head whileughing wryly. "I am more of a freeloader at this point." That''s an understatement. Nico Robin has been researching ancient magic under Azazel and the Devil Kings. Her talents and wits toward this field are rarer than Sacred Gear''s Users, making her an exception in this world''s standard. Her ability is one of the few reasons why the area around the Nijo Castle, when the small war happened, is safe. She also reached over level 70 in just a year. Spirit Masters with the old standards will lose their shits when hearing about this. As they walked down the mountain, Grayfia appeared from a magic circle and said, "Yuhao-sama, Mistress is calling for you." "There is an issue regarding the newly added Asgard Faction... They wanted to meet you in person. Mistress said you could refuse, but as the ruler of the Dragon Nest, showing your face is essential in this situation." Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "I understood." "Let me say goodbye to Yasaka and Kunou first." "Very well." Grayfia returned, staring at Robin calmly. Nico Robin noticed Grayfia''s gaze and responded with a smile. ... ... At the front gate of Yasaka Shrine, Huo Yuhao is saying goodbye to the mother-daughter foxes duo. "We haven''t talked much, but I appreciated yourpany, Yasaka, Kunou." He said while hugging them. [Harem Protagonist activated] [Quasi-Primordial Lucky Bastard activated] [Milf Hunter triggered] Huo Yuhao ignored Evo''s notification and felt a soft sensation touching his lips. Yasaka kissed him and said, "Likewise, Young Master Huo." Kunou''s face reddened when seeing this lewd act as she hugged Huo Yuhao''s stomach tightly. "Big Brother Huo, are you going to be my father?" She asked in a not-so-innocent manner. There is also a hint of excitement in her voice. "I don''t know..." Huo Yuhao gave Yasaka a yful look. "We''ll see in the future, Kunou." "H-Haha..." Yasaka couldn''t hide her surprise and giggled nervously. Waving his hand, Huo Yuhao and hispanions left Kyoto with teleportation magic. Huo Yuhao arrived at the backyard of Huo Yun''er quarter, seeing a ck sh in the corner of his eye. "Yuhao Darling, Nyaa~!!" An excited voice rang across the garden. It was Kuroka. Huo Yuhao hugged the lovely Nekoshou and said, "Ah, I missed you too, Kuroka." "Hehe~!" Kuroka chuckled while rubbing her chest on him. "Hao''er." Huo Yun''er called from the window nearby. "Come in. There would be some guests in an hour." "I want to make my son more handsome." "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied helplessly. Chapter 184: Meeting the Norse Gods Chapter 184: Meeting the Norse Gods I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 181 --- In a dressing room, Huo Yun''er walks around Huo Yuhao and judges his current outfit. "Hmm, this looks good." "But this color is better." "Suit or Casual? What do you think, Grayfia?" Grayfia stared at Huo Yuhao, who wore a formal blue navy suit and ck-white striped tie. His short blue hair was swept to the back, making his handsome face more prominent than usual. And his tall stature makes the suit look better. "I think this is the best, Mistress." She answered approvingly. "Right~?!" Huo Yun''er squealed happily, leaving Huo Yuhao speechless inside. Who would have thought Huo Yuhao could experience something like this in his life? "Let''s do some photo shoots first." Huo Yun''er suddenly said. "Grayfia, grab the camera." Grayfia grabbed a camera out of nowhere and replied, "I''m ready, Mistress." Her ruby-like eyes are shining brightly. "..." Huo Yuhao. ... ... After the tedious modeling photoshoots, Huo Yuhao leaned on the sofa and sighed exhaustedly. Huo Yun''er and Grayfia are giggling on the side, ogling his pictures. Huo Yuhao loosened his tie and heard a click. "Oh, Come on..." He gave Huo Yun''er a questioning look. Huo Yun''er giggled while holding her camera, giving Huo Yuhao a peck on the cheek. "Hehe, I can''t help myself, you know? My Hao''er looks very handsome and hot when loosening his tie~!" She replied while showing him the picture. ''Damn.'' Huo Yuhao checked his picture, which is very detailed and high quality. Even the camera in his previous life was garbagepared to this. He doesn''t want to admit it, but this picture likely would be a thirst trap for women in the Dragon Nest. Well, maybe not because Huo Yun''er never shared something special with someone else like Qianye Ying''er. It''ll be her treasure. "I''ll keep this as my treasure~!" Huo Yun''er dered proudly. "Yup." Huo Yuhao could only ept reality. Grayfia stopped twiddling with pictures and received a message from Giana. And yes, she also received a watch connected to the Dragon Nest''s Networks. "Yuhao-sama, Mistress. The people from Asgard have arrived." She reported to them. Huo Yun''er coughed and slyly slipped the camera into her spatial ring, giving no chance for anyone else to take it. "Very well, greet and bring them here." She responded calmly. Huo Yuhao shrugged and went to the living room, where several cups of tea and light snacks were "already." prepared beforehand. He wondered why they went this far but realized Odin was a sly old fox despite his carefree character. Sitting on the sofa, Huo Yuhao felt someone rubbing his forehead. "Odin is a cunning and perverted old fox. I wanted to show that my Hao''er is a thousand, if not a million times better than him." Huo Yun''er honestly said while sitting beside him. "He''d witness the new leader he must serve with reverence." "I can''t let you appear shabbily, don''t I?" She smiled, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. Grayfia Lucifuge emerged from the corridor with some distinguished guests behind her. Despite escorting Gods from Asgard, she didn''t show the slightest nervousness and acted like a professional maid. "The representative of Asgard has arrived," Grayfia announced with her mellow yet calm voice. "Nice to meet you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God and Heavenly Fox Mistress." An elderly with long, gray hair and a matching beard stepped up. He wears a gold and white monocle over his left eye without any chain. "Wee to my humble abode, Odin." Huo Yun''er responded with a softugh. "Sit, and let''s talk." Odin nodded and sat on the opposite side of them, followed by a rough-looking man and a beautiful young woman with long, straight silver hair. Huo Yuhao observed these people meticulously and felt the immense energy from Odin and the rough-looking man. If his guess wasn''t poor, this man must be the Thor of this world. ''Not an Aussie, eh.'' Huo Yuhaomented inside while staring at the rough-looking man. Thor is a man in histe thirties with short yet sharp ck hair. His face is rough, as expected of a man who likes to fight, coupled with a muscr physique hidden behind that majestic tunic. There are some scars here and there, which seemed to be his trophy. As they conversed, Huo Yuhao introduced himself as Huo Yun''er partner and asked several things regarding Asgard. He didn''t use any honorifics toward Odin and Thor, simply respecting them by speaking casually. Odin had no problem with this, but Thor seemed unconvinced about something. "Hahaha~! I see. No wonder the Dragon Nest is so strong. Their leader is such a charismatic young man." Odin pped his knee,ughing in amusement. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "I amcking in many aspects. However, I learned a lot this year." "Being humble is nice, but I wish my son learned one or two things from you... I was thinking of handing over my position to either Thor or Vidar, but this brat only knows how to fight." Odin sighed while ncing at Thor, making him choke on the warm tea. "What?" Thor sluggishly reacted as if he didn''t care about the position. Odin shook his head andmented, "He has been guarding Yggdrasil for years. Now Loki is running wild because of his absence." Thor clicked his tongue in annoyance when Odin mentioned "Loki." in his sentence. That guy has always been a problem in their pantheon, spreading chaos like no tomorrow. Even though Thor has defeated Loki several times, the God of Mischief could run away every single time. Loki''s trickery knows no bounds and sometimes fools even the wisest mind. "Mom, your house is protected, right?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked while grabbing a new cup of tea. Huo Yun''er tilted her head in confusion and answered, "Of course. Why did you ask a question with such an obvious answer?" Huo Yuhao smiled inside and moved his gaze to Thor. "Thor. We didn''t have wine or beer here, but will you ept this cup of tea?" Odin jerked his knee, nudging his son to respond to Huo Yuhao''s offer. "Okay..." Thor extended his hand. Yet, an overwhelming pressure suddenly erupted from Huo Yuhao''s body and swept over the living room with intense blue light. He just activated his Conqueror Haki to the highest limit and pressured Thor. BOOM! Thor frowned and felt his hand shaking from Huo Yuhao''s presence alone. His eyes widened in surprise, but this wasn''t enough to stop him. Faint electricity escaped Thor''s skin, responding to the Conqueror Haki aggressively. ''Such an intense presence...'' Odin thought solemnly. ''This will be the most serious "hand-over cup of tea." I have ever seen in my life.'' Huo Yuhao ced the cup on Thor''s hand and said, "Enjoy." With a grin, Thor gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look and drank the warm tea till the cup was empty. He even raised his pinky finger, which honestly looks hrious. "This is my loss. I''m sorry for underestimating you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God. You''re a real warrior and man." He said with an excited tone. His fighting spirit is apparent now. Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned, "Yuhao is fine." "Since we are under the same banner, you don''t have to use a formal title like that." "Guhahahaha!" Odin couldn''t hold hisughter at this scene. "Yes, this is it." "Youngsters should be hot-blooded and filled with passion." "Not the perverted passion..." The young woman Odin broughtmented. Odin ignored thement and said, "This is why you have been single since birth, Rossweisse." "Uwaaah!" Rossweisse cried when hearing Odin''s horrible line andined, "It''s your fault, Odin-sama. You''re the one who yed around without doing your job." "I-I''m the one who stayedte and finished them up, Uwaaa!" "Here." Huo Yuhao gave Rossweisse a handkerchief. "T-Thank you." Rossweisse sobbed while cleaning tears from her face, blushing when realizing the person who helped her. ''Oho~! I could use this. Deepening the rtionship between Rossweisse and Blue-Eyed Dragon God doesn''t sound bad.'' Odin thought to himself. ''The problem is...'' Odin could feel the cold gaze that sent a shiver down his spine from Huo Yun''er. Yep, this ship is not going to sail soon. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes briefly and pondered Loki''s problem that Odin had. Killing the God of Mischief would be the obvious solution, but what Loki wanted was to start Ragnarok. He knew this because he finished High School DxD''s Anime. "You''reing here not just for tea, right?" He suddenly spouted, making a wry chucklee from Odin''s mouth. "Not only humble, but you''re also sharp as well." Odin leaned on the sofafortably. "Let''s just say that since your second appearance, the world of gods has be more hectic than usual." "Killing Hades is a bigger deal than you realized." "Gods are arrogant. We felt threatened by your presence overall, and your Dragon Nest makes it worse for some gods out there." "Evil Gods are brewing their n to fight you currently. Loki is one of them. As the chief of the Norse Faction, I requested you to kill Loki permanently from existence." Hestly added, which left Grayfia and Rossweisse speechless on the side. That''s such a bold request. Huo Yun''er nced at her son, waiting for his reply. If it''s Huo Yuhao, then he wouldn''t refuse this request. "Consider it done." Huo Yuhao confidently responded, hearing Evo''s notification about a new quest. [You have triggered a new quest] Chapter 185: A Spar with the God of Thunder Chapter 185: A Spar with the God of Thunder I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 182 --- Crackles~! The sound of thunder echoed in the area. Odin sighed when seeing this sight, looking down on the arena below with aplicated expression. Huo Yun''er stood beside her and enjoyed some pearl-sized grapes. "Why are you so nervous? Not wanting to see your son lose?" Huo Yun''er poked Odin''s pride a little, making the gray-haired elderlyugh. "Haha~! I believed in my son, but your son is definitely scarier." Odin responded while leaning on the fence. He watched Thor standing in the arena with divine lightning covering his memorial tunic, causing every muscle in his muscr physique to tighten. Even though Odin wasn''t in the arena, he could feel Thor gathering energy/force in his body. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao sat on the ground with a scroll and a quill. He didn''t show any intent or fighting spirit like Thor. Well, this spar was unnned. Thor suddenly challenged Huo Yuhao before they returned to Asgard. It was to decide "Who''s more manly." ording to Thor himself. "I hope this ce could contain their fight," Odinmented solemnly. Huo Yun''er giggled and replied, "We used Primordial Rune to cover all ces that the Dragon Nest owned. It''s somewhat different from yours, Odin, but don''t worry. Even the strongest being in this world would take some time to destroy our Primordial Rune''s Barrier." "Well, you know Scathach, no?" "You almost got killed by her a few months ago..." "Haha..." Odinughed nervously, remembering the God yer firing her red spear at him. To think apletely different Scathach from another world would appear out of nowhere. Scathach is a famous warrior, but she is long dead in this world. Dragon Nest''s Scathach is more scary and menacing. Odin is trembling when hearing her name alone. Huo Yun''er was amused by Odin''s reaction as this perverted elderly had been offending Scathach in the past, receiving quite a bacsh. If Scathach isn''t holding back, Asgard will lose their all-father. ''Well, that''s a different matter for a different day.'' She thought while eyeing her beloved son. ''Hao''er has acquired an impressive set of abilities. He didn''t talk much about them, but his Ink seems to possess a universal warping quality.'' ... ... Thor collided his fists against each other, creating electric shockwaves in the arena. "Here Ie." He announced with a grin, taking a step forward. Huo Yuhao''s eyes calmly observed Thor''s movement as he appeared on his left side. With a casual brush on the Fairy King''s Canvas, Huo Yuhao created an ink ripple in the air and defended himself from Thor''s punch. BAM! The God of Thunder''s punch is not to be underestimated. Huo Yuhao could feel the force behind Thor''s fist was slightly lower than Indra''s. No, by looking at his expression, Thor is not serious yet. "Oh?" Thor''s eyes brightened when seeing his attack nullified by Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smiled because he was also interested in this world''s divinity function. He flicked the quill in his hand and created storm-like strokes on the Fairy King''s Canvas, causing a violent gush to push Thor away. "What about this!" Thor shouted excitedly. "Thunderous Chop!" Thor changed his approach into a chopping motion, but the force behind it was still the same as before. The difference is the surface area, which is more signalment and de-like. Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t let Thor down and met his expectations. SWOOSH! "This is... Silk?" Thor watched his handnd on ck silk, sinking but not strong enough to cut through it. The current intensity of his lightning couldn''t create a sharp hand de. Huo Yuhao flicked his wrist again and manifested several long rubbers into the air, controlling them with his other hand. These rubbers moved based on his will, rotating like a pinwheel. BOOM! Thor dodged in time, but the rubber pinwheel caused a deep groove in the ground. "Come again." Huo Yuhao smirked yfully, taunting the God of Thunder. Thor epted the challenge and increased the intensity of his lightning, charging forward with even more ferocious movement. As if he was a wild beast, he approached with intense energy. Huo Yuhao scanned Thor''s movement with the slightest dy and noticed something weird. That''s not the posture of someone throwing a hand orunching a kick. Then, something clicked in Huo Yuhao''s head. "Ah." "Hammer." BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!! Thor held an empty air, but the destruction he caused was like a massive hammer hitting the floor. Cracks are spreading like a spider web, but Huo Yuhao is nowhere to be seen. As the rubble and dust were dispersing, Thor used his divine sense to search for Huo Yuhao. He looked around toplete his observation but couldn''t find Huo Yuhao''s shadow. Wait, Shadow? If Thor remembered correctly, Huo Yuhao also has the power to summon shadow creatures. And He used it to kill Devil King''s Descendants one year ago. "Toote." A drop of Ink shed before Thor''s eyes, smashing against his chest like a cannonball. BAM! CRACK! Thor anchored into the wall and was shocked by this surprise attack. He wanted to move from this unfavorable position, but the long rubbers Huo Yuhao created beforehand entrapped his body like snakes. "Be careful, Thor." Huo Yuhao appeared while adding hisst stroke on the Fairy King''s Canvas. "This one is a little dangerous for you." "You might want to use your Mjolnir for this." "You Crafty Bastard." Thor couldn''t believe this guy. Thud! With a firm stepnded on the arena, everyone could see another Thor created from Huo Yuhao''s drawing. Its appearance is exactly like Thor''s, except for the darkness-filled eyes and palerplexion than the real one. And not to mention the divine lightning that covered its body, which red with such intensity. A replica of Thor seems like a twin brother he never had. On the podium, Odin was "utterly." shocked and screamed, "HOW?!" Replicating a god is no joking matter. Huo Yuhao has to mimic everything Thor possesses, from physical quality to his very divinity. It''s understandable if they had known each other for years and lived together, but Huo Yuhao only met Thor once. ONCE! Odin has witnessed Loki mimicking Thor and some gods from another pantheon, but even the God of Mischief couldn''t do something this absurd with his ability. ''You told me he could copy my son in just a few exchanges? You gotta be kidding me.'' Odin frowned while thinking about Huo Yuhao''s secret. Huo Yun''er rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Don''t be too shocked. Hao''er is one in a trillion million talent, ording to my mentor." "Everything you have seen and heard about him until now is the tip of the iceberg." She proudly added. "And bear in mind, even when Hao''er was angry... He never used his full power. It would be too destructive for this and our home world." Back in the arena, the Ink Thor created a hammer made of lightning and kicked the ground. This copy''s movement is exactly like the real one, from muscle movement to mannerisms. As the Ink Thor dashed forward, Thor couldn''t hold his grin and released more intense lightning. He grabbed thin air and summoned a majestic-looking hammer. Mjolnir is a giant hammer with a ck outer frame with a blue structure throughout its entire design, from the head to the handle. There is a Norse symbol on its middle piece. CRACKLES!! The divine lightning struck the arena and burned the restriction Huo Yuhao ced on Thor''s body. The God of Thunder firmly grabbed his weapon''s handle and released this powerful aura. Thor threw himself toward the clone and swung Mjolnir, causing a ripple in the space fabric. Electricity danced and caused thunderps. "Hammering Grind." The Ink Thor reacted with the same movement and swung its lightning hammer at Thor. The two hammers collided heavily, triggering a massive shockwave in the arena. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!! The tiles pulverized into dust and exposed the rune under the floor, but Thor is not "actually." focused on that. He looked at his clone and mumbled, "So, it''s not just a cheap copy..." "..." The Ink Thor stared at Thor emotionlessly. Even though Thor used excessive force, there is no scratch on Huo Yuhao''s Ink Creation. Thor grabbed Mjolnir with two arms and used 50% of his strength to stop ying around. It''s time for him to end this spar. He breathed in and roared, "AAAAAAAAGGHHH!" The battle cry shook the clone, letting Thor release a more powerful technique. Thor bent his knee and swung his hammer like a half-moon. The arena was showered by divine lightning as everything became bright. "DIEEEEE!!" KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!! Thor grinned while looking at nothing before his eyes. The clone has been crushed into nothingness by his attack. SWOOOOOSH! "Good fight." Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared and mmed his fist against Thor''s chin, sending him to fly back to the wall again. BAM! CRACK! BOOOM! Thor fainted on the spot yet still held Mjolnir tight in his right hand. "H-He won..." Odin was speechless. He knew Huo Yuhao would win against his stubborn son, but not in this anticlimactic manner. Huo Yun''er giggled and said, "See." Then, something even more shocking happened before Odin''s eyes. The "Huo Yuhao." in the arena dispersed into a bunch of Ink. "That was a good nap." Huo Yuhao yawned, leaning on the fence next to Odin. Odin moved his eyes from the arena and fence next to him, rubbing his eyes continuously and questioning reality. "Y-You, Arena, Thor..." He said brokenly, like a senile grandpa. "Huh??!" "Oh? That was my clone." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "I made one before entering the arena." "..." Odin. ''This guy is nuts.'' Chapter 186: Trying Dual Cultivation Technique Chapter 186: Trying Dual Cultivation Technique I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 183 --- After defeating Thor in the spar, Huo Yuhao said farewell to Odin and Rossweisse. He went to the training room and saw Scathach bullying people with her Gae Bolg Alternative. He smiled andmented, "Shishou, your hobby is fascinating as always." Scathach nced at him and replied, "Don''t me me. me these people for being weak." "They couldn''t even dodge spear strikes that I''ve slowed down several times." ''Shishou, Your spear strike is mach one at the bare minimum.'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but facepalm. Even with Observation Haki, dodging such an attack will take insane reflexes and body control. He doubts these people have that high of Observation Haki. No, these recruits probably need survival instinct the most in this situation. Poor them. At least they would be more powerful in no time. Which also exined how Nico Robin developed into Spirit Saint within a year. The training is painful but effective. Scathach skipped over the newbie through red eyes and suddenlymented, "Talking about being fancy. I heard you did something in Kyoto." "Something about kicking the annoying God Indra out of the territory." "Is he strong?" "No, not really." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently. "He possessed strong divinity, which put him at a lot of disadvantage against us, but his mastery over weather and lightning are top notch based on this world''s standard." "I can''t put my hand on it, but this world''s divinity works differently than ours. Well, a literal human with Sacred Gear could kill a living god. That should exin a lot." "This world is unbnced one way and another." "True." Scathach nodded in agreement. She has fought several Gods from the Greek and Norse Pantheon, but none of them could even make her fight seriously like Huo Yuhao. Something about their divinity and power is weird. It''s theirs, but more like an inborn privilege in Scathach''s eyes. This privilege gave God authority over what divinity they owned but made them hopeless in other fields. For example, Scathach met with Amaterasu very often this year, but the Goddess of the Sun''s strength is only above the executive member of the Dragon Nest. Amaterasu''s power revolves around the Sun. That''s it. A sub-vice leader like Murong Qianxue could defeat her with Fake 2nd ss Gods'' cultivation. And to be fair, Murong Qianxue is a hard counter for Amaterasu because she reigned over Ice Element, specifically Eternal Winter. Giving Huo Yuhao a dirty look, Scathach suddenly sent an elbow strike to his face. Huo Yuhao dodged to the left and raised his knees, defending himself against an iing kick. BAM! Their legs met each other and caused a stagnant air as both tried to overpower the other. "Oh?" "You aren''t rusty as I believed." "Being in a constant war must push your senses to the limit." "You guess?" Huo Yuhao smiled at Scathach. "Well, let''s see how much you have improved there," Scathach responded with a chuckle andunched a barrage of attacks on Huo Yuhao, trapping him in this weird sensation of losing physical control. "Please note that I always believed you''ll be stronger." Huo Yuhao pped Scathach''s hand calmly and kicked her shin, creating a wave-like movement as he pushed her back rapidly. Each attack was utilized to counter Scathach''s attacks and redirected her force with minimal footsteps. ''Interesting...'' Scathach couldn''t recognize this martial art. No, Huo Yuhao never used it on her. She could see it was abination of countless martial arts and counterys, which needed perfect analysis of the opponent''s movement. One wrong move and the counter would fail miserably. "But do you think I''m only ying around here?" Scathach suddenly changed her attack patterns. It was more fierce and dangerous, having the intent to kill with one swoop. These new attack patterns also induced weird air, as if Huo Yuhao''s attack were reversed and lost its power. Huo Yuhaobined the White Room Martial Arts and Water Stream World Smashing Fist into his move sets. However, it has a specific weakness, such as losing power against other countery-driven techniques. Scathach, while not using Water Stream World Smashing Fist, created a simr technique. From Huo Yuhao''s observation, she could reverse the opponent''s movements and manipte them with a series of Ki Acupoints. BAM! Two fists collided with each other, nullifying the other''s strength. Muffled sounds echoed in the training arena as a breeze brushed the ground gently. Skirrrt! Scathach''s training clothes were "suddenly." ripped apart, revealing her purple sports bra and tight yoga pants that wrapped around her ass perfectly. Huo Yuhao was "actually." caught off guard by this as Scathach tackled him like a pro wrestler, locking her thighs around his neck. "Y-You Pervert! What kind of perverted martial art you actually created!" "When did you be such a pervert!" The ripping is part of the force they created at the same time. When two simr energies collided with each other, they merged and caused a weird phenomenon. In this case, it created an invisible force that ripped Scathach''s clothes. "Shishou, it''s not my fault." Huo Yuhao helplessly said. "No, Confess it!" Scathach frowned at him. "Confess what?" "Confess that you''re a pervert! Confess that you''re hot for your beautiful teacher!" "..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. He also felt this confession is not needed because Scathach isn''t a shy-minded woman. And thatst statement. There must be a hidden scheme. ''Or not'' Huo Yuhao noticed the increase in temperature from Scathach''s body. Her breathing also bes huskier with each second. She''s excited. Huo Yuhao smirked inside and yelled shamelessly, "I''M A PERVERT!" "GOSH, WHAT SHOULD I DO~! NO WOMAN COULD SATISFY ME?" "HMMM!! IF ONLY A WOMAN WHO IS AS PERVERTED AS THIS PERVERTED ME EXISTED! A WOMAN WHO LOVED GETTING TEASED AND TAKEN FROM BEHIND~!!" "STOP!" Scathach blushed while covering Huo Yuhao''s mouth with her hands. ''What a shameless student?!'' Even though Scathach is a proud woman, who doesn''t care about others'' opinions, she still has an image to maintain. She cannot let her students know about this side of her. She trembled all of a sudden, feeling a lick in her hand. ''Y-You!'' Scathach wanted to moan when Huo Yuhao licked her. Something about his touch is turning her on. Exactly, Huo Yuhao used Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Arts on Scathach, performing an act to stimte her desire to do Dual Cultivation. They could feel some newbie approaching quickly. Now or never. Scathach''s chest heaved up and down, looking at Huo Yuhao with a feverish look. She used Primordial Rune to leave a message and teleported them away from the training ground. A floating line appeared in the air. The newbie arrived and read it suspiciously, "I''m out for lunch." "But it''s dinner time already..." "Also, what kind of food does teacher Scathach eat at this hour??" At Scathach''s Quarter. The student and teacher fell onto a soft king-sized bed. Huo Yuhao released himself from Scathach''s grasp and kissed her lips quickly, leaving no room for resistance. She hugged him tightly and caressed his back. As both tongues intertwined, Huo Yuhao utilized Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art and rubbed Scathach''s ass. She moaned and said, "Ahh~!! What''s this? Did you train in sexual arts too? How could you feel so good~?" "Hehe, I get an incredible Dual Cultivation Art. What do you think, Shishou?" Huo Yuhao chuckled yfully. "Do you want to try it out?" Scathach bit her lips hungrily and mumbled, "Do it." "Use the damn Dual Cultivation Art!" "Eh, but I''m a pervert~? How could I do such a thing to a "pure." woman like you? Unless you''re also a pervert like me." Huo Yuhao teased her, making Scathach groan in frustration. "Fine! I''m also a pervert! I''m a perverted woman who fantasized about her stud disciple taking her from behind!" Scathach yelled, humping her lower region on Huo Yuhao''s thigh. "See, we are both perverts. Perverts together strong." Huo Yuhao whispered while licking her ears. ... ... Scathach''s quarter is filled with moans and grunts for an hour, muting for a few minutes before resuming the lewd-sounding acts. Scathachy on the bed with an ahegao look on her face, sweating like no tomorrow. Her body was "literally." filled with pleasure and limitless energy after doing Dual Cultivation with Huo Yuhao. It''s the effect of Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art that benefitted both sides without any side effects. And They could feel the "Progenitor Lineage." within them be more potent. As for Huo Yuhao, all his bloodlines seem excited and improved by significant leaps. Above all this, Scathach and Huo Yuhao are extremely satisfied. The Ultimate Dual Cultivation Art. Crack! BAM! The bedroom door abruptly slid open, turning into dust before Huo Yuhao''s eyes. A wry smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face as he saw Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er standing there with scary-looking smiles on their beautiful faces. "Hao''er~?" Huo Yun''er is wearing her sleeping gown, showcasing her cleavage bravely. "How could you take Scathach before your beloved mother first?" "Is this rebellion?" Qianye Ying''er nodded and added, "Umu, bad Yuhao~!" "You should have done it with us too!" Huo Yun''er stepped in and faced Huo Yuhao, "It''s our turn, right?" "Mom, I..." "Right??" "Yes..." Another four hours passed, and Scathach''s bedroom soon filled with moans again. They have a foursome and use Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Arts to the fullest. Looking at the threedies on the bed, Huo Yuhao breathed out because Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art consumes more stamina than regr Dual Cultivations. Heid down and said, "I love you all." "Even though being a harem protagonist is hard, I''ll bring joy to my loved ones." Thedies couldn''t respond as he did too much "Dual Cultivation." with him but naturally smiled when hearing his statement. "Are you going to visit theb?" Giana''s voice appeared from Huo Yuhao''s watch. "You still have some projects left there." "Nah. Change the schedule to tomorrow morning." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I''ll spend my time with them first." "Noted." The little fairy responded. "Enjoy your time, Master~!" Huo Yuhao felt happiness blooming in his heart. He hugged Huo Yun''er and fell into a dream world. Chapter 187: The Suspicious Evo Chapter 187: The Suspicious Evo I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 184 --- Huo Yuhao woke up with three soft sensations lingering on his body. He smiled helplessly and felt the breathing of hispanions, moving them gently to the side. He stared at the ceiling and discerned the change in his body as the Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art is like doping to his cultivation. It doesn''t just increase his spirit energy but also strengthens his bloodline by a few stages. And no side effects at all. Who wouldn''t be happy with such a powerful Dual Cultivation Technique? ''Especially for a person like me.'' Huo Yuhao thought shamelessly, knowing his libido grew tremendously after absorbing True Kroman''s Bloodlines. Ancient Ink Devil and Ancient Godlight Devil are two powerful bloodlines that had settled down because of the Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art. After checking his new improvement, Huo Yuhao breathed in and asked internally, ''Evo, care to exin why the "Emergency Quest." is located in the real dimension? Not a replication, as you stated beforehand?'' ''My perception is "weirdly." blocked at the time, but something doesn''t make sense, right?'' [...] ''Answer me, Evo.'' ''I''m not a fool.'' [The System deemed the "Ancient Ink Bloodline''s Awakening." as the essential foundation for the host''s future] [As the Emergency Quest moved host to the distant past of the Everlith Universe: Titania Bolos, every action you made there changes the future of the dying Universe] [Without this action, the host wouldn''t be able to awaken Ancient Ink Bloodline to its full potential] Hearing that, Huo Yuhao finds what Evo said is true because Titania''s Bloodline wouldn''t be as active as now. He required the Fairy Queen''s help to learn about Ancient Ink Devil''s Ability, despite herself barely teaching him anything. However, it doesn''t erase Huo Yuhao''s suspicion of Evo. Not even a bit. ''Then, do you know something about my previous life? I can''t remember specific memories rted to someone.'' He suddenly questioned. [The system didn''t find anything wrong with your soul and memory] Evo answered immediately, but the monotonous tone seemed more stagnant than usual. ''Check again.'' [But the host''s soul is stable?] For the first time, Evo sounded confused. ''I said to check again, Evo...'' [Running Deep Soul Scanning] [Scanning...] [...] [Error] [???] [Re-Running Deep Soul Scanning] [Error] [Error] [Error] [...] Evo. Evo protocol repeats over a thousand times, and then Evo uses a different method. [Checking the backdoor and recalibrating the Deep Soul Scanning] [Scanning...] [Ding! An unknown seal detected within the host''s soul] [The system''s level is too low to open the seal] [Please upgrade "the system." before proceeding with the seal] "..." Huo Yuhao was stunned. He didn''t expect this at all. And What do you mean by an unknown seal? No one in his previous life is supernatural. Sure, there are several master martial artists and gunmen beyond the standard, but they could die out of mortal injury. Bullets and nuclear bombs could kill them instantly. Some people use physical-enhancing drugs, but even they barely reach a superhuman level. [It has to be someone close to you, host] Evo suddenlymented. [The current system couldn''t break the seal, but the person who did it should be on Tier-1 Entity ording to deep scan] ''Tier-1?'' [It''s ssified information] [...] [After further observation, the system decided to uncover some piece of information to the host]] [The greater macrocosm of the infinite cosmos is vast, and the "normal." grading system didn''t work as precisepared to the small, weak world like Highschool DxD] [The weakest Tier-9 is a being who can conquer multiples and possess control over it. They are close to or even more inferior than a Nox Emperor from the Everlith Universe] [She''s at peak Tier-8 to Mid Tier-7, being the ruler of the multiple gxies and Everlith Universe] [Tier-7 is roughly at the same level as Godkings from the Douluo Dalu Universe, but it depends on their divinity and innate ability. A few individuals could breach into Tier-6 for a couple of minutes] [As for the Tier-1...] [They are the strongest out of the strongest creatures in the Omniversal Order. Just a minuscule of their strength is enough to erase everything you have built up so far to nothingness] [No, that''s an understatement... Their mere presence is enough to reduce you to nothingness, host] [The system expected you to get a sense of crisis when knowing this news, but it would be better for you to know this earlier] Evo added while observing Huo Yuhao''s reaction. Huo Yuhao breathed in and digested the new information calmly. He closed his eyes and witnessed a dream about countless strong being ragging over the Dragon Nest like it was nothing. He clenched his fist and mumbled, "Thanks, Evo." [You don''t have to worry about those being''s presence for a while, as the seal could protect you and everyone close to you from their senses. It worked as an invisible cover for your growth] [Ding! You have triggered a new quest] [Name: Be a God] [Objective: Condense your godhood and create your own Divine Realm(0/2)] [Reward: 3x tinum Upgrading Ticket, the Seed of Adversity, 1x World Travelling Ticket] [Penalty: None] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] "You know very well I wouldn''t reject it." Huo Yuhao pressed the Yes button and epted the quest. Bing a god is one of his earliest goals in the first ce. It''s just that Douluo Dalu''s Gods are "innately." restricted from growing even further. And only Godkings could be considered the strongest as the 5th Dimensional Being. And yup, Huo Yuhao disliked this restriction. Thanks to Evo and this new quest, he has a clue to bypass Douluo Dalu Universe''s restrictions. ''I only have to be a god here, no? I''m technically still using Douluo Dalu''s power system, but my strength and presence wouldn''t get restricted by the universalw there.'' A smirk appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because he expected a shocked expression from the gods in the Douluo Dalu''s Universe. He knew they had been curious about the Dragon Nest because the barrier he ced around the new continent was sometimes breached unsessfully by higher dimensional beings, especially someone with divinity over the sea. Fortunately, They couldn''t descend to the Douluo because of the restriction. Because of Huo Yuhao''s sudden movement, thedies gradually awakened from their sleep. Huo Yun''er yawned sensually and went for a morning kiss, leaning on his chest. Scathach pecked his cheek and used his arm as a pillow. As for Qianye Ying''er, she was drooling on his thighs. ''Yeah, I have to protect them.'' Huo Yuhao''s motivation burned even stronger when seeing hispanions'' sleepy faces. ... ... Huo Yuhao prepared some vegetables in the kitchen, running down the sink with water as threedies had a hangover on the dining table. They are still in the Scathach''s quarter and recovering their stamina after the wild night. "This won''t do..." Huo Yun''er said solemnly. "He''s too good now. Even the three of us couldn''t handle him." "We need some helper." Scathach felt a sting in her lower half and nodded grimly, "I agree. His Dual Cultivation Technique is too dangerous to be left alone." "He devoured us like it was nothing..." "But who should we bring?" Qianye Ying''erid her head on the dining table, sniffing the cooking smell from the kitchen. "I''ll bring Nico Robin then. She likes Huo Yuhao as much as me." Scathach silently grumbled because she didn''t want to say this woman''s name. "Raikou. She''ll do a good job." She said doubtfully. Huo Yun''er giggled and added, "Well, I''ll fetch Grayfia in our next session." ''Tch, how could I forget about the maid?!'' Scathach couldn''t take her statement back. Even though her rtionship with Raikou isn''t good, theirmon ground is Huo Yuhao. Qianye Ying''er yfully tapped her slender finger on the dining table andmented, "There are more candidates like Ophis, Kuroka, Tiamat, Venna, Yasaka, Amaterasu, Gabriel, Serafall, Koneko(Shirone), Asia, Ingvild, Mi, and the list goes on." "To be honest, every woman could be his." "What are you guys talking about?" Huo Yuhao stepped out of the kitchen and ced four bowls of porridge on the table. "Nothing." 3x "How suspicious." Huo Yuhao sat down, shaking his head because their intention to get himid down and satisfied was obvious. It''s not like he was deaf and couldn''t hear them from the kitchen. "Anyway... Let''s enjoy the morning, shall we?" They agreed with Huo Yuhao as the morning should be a serene moment for them. After the hearty breakfast, Huo Yuhao meditated on thewn behind Scathach''s quarter and discovered his spirit energy multiplied by four times. That''s enough energy to create a small universe in his body. He smiled wryly andmented, "I have to finish the Mana Cube''s Project." "The prototype couldn''t handle this sudden increase." He pulled up a cracked small blue cube with his left hand. It released a dim light, which leaked energy. Huo Yuhao stood up and stretched a little, "Let''s do some work first." "I''ll also do something about Yae''s new vessel." Chapter 188: Finishing Mana Cubes Project Chapter 188: Finishing Mana Cube''s Project I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 185 --- In the restrictedb, Huo Yuhaoid down around the piles of rare minerals from Highschool DxD''s world and Titania Bolos. These materials are "innately." deemed beneficial to finish the Universal Battery or Mana Cube''s project as he runs through several calctions. Even though he renamed the project Mana Cube, histest creation is apact G-Reactor in its better form, which could absorb and store all kinds of energy. It has the same function but the same time difference usage. G-Reactor uses Kic Energy from rotating metal bearings to store Spirit Energy and Electricity. Meanwhile, Mana Cube uses Kic Energy to vibrate surrounding energy, whether it is Electricity, Demonic Energy, Holy Energy, Mana, or Spirit Energy, millions of times and purifies it to pure energy. With the help of the Techno Master ss and Rune Master ss, Huo Yuhaobined his Spirit Engineering with Primordial Rune, creating a sturdy energy storage to contain a sun inside it. Leaks wouldn''t happen because he uses the concept of "Divine Dividing." from Albion''s Power and "Infinity." from Ophis''s power to write codes that release excessive energy from the Mana Cube and reabsorb it back into an infinite cycle. To finish it off, Huo Yuhao tempered the Mana Cube with "Chaos God ying Magic." and printed his "Equal Exchange or Nothing at all.". The only problem he had so far is the materials couldn''t endure so much enhancement he ced. Well, creating a synergy between these fields of knowledge was hard. "Sculpting Knife." Huo Yuhao used the upgraded ck desmith or what Evo called the "Great Apostle Creation." for some reason. The sacred gear is now a floating red crystal and could instantly make SS-Grade or Lower graded weapons. If he wanted to create SSS-Grade Equipment or Weapons, he must use a lot of concentration. Well, anything Huo Yuhao made with "Great Apostle Creation." or what he had simplified as GAC from now on, is still inferior to what he made personally with his smithing hammer. Pagma''s Incarnation ss granted him a skill that blessed any creations he made with his very hands. It''s not only the quality but also the overall performance of his inventions which is far superior to GAC''s constant production. While Pagma''s Creation is better overall, GAC gives Huo Yuhao more freedom with his creativity and is less time-consuming. Also cost-effective because his energy wouldn''t be exhausted with mere projections. Anyway, Huo Yuhao went on a tangent. A slender-looking sculpting knife with a sharp edge appeared on Huo Yuhao''s hand as he picked one of the rocks nearby. It was a big round rock around the size of an adult''s head, gleaming in milky jade color. Weirdly, the rock has this weird pattern, like a leaf. "What''s this again..?" [Name: Havens'' Blood] [Type: Material/Rare Mineral] [Grade: SS+] [Description: Havens'' Blood is a rare rock grown near the World Tree: Yggdrasil. It absorbed the natural energy from all realms, bing a conduit of stagnant elements] This rock was "actually." given by Xiao Chen. Huo Yuhao skilfully split the rock into four, shaving them into handful-sized cubes. He began to embed the "Spirit Codes." from the Chaos God yer Magic into the outeryer of the cube, making it glow dimly with green light. Drilling holes into the unfinished Mana Cube, Huo Yuhao set up some rails for the bearings. He filled the holes with metal balls made of specific minerals to gather more kic energy and coated them with Primordial Runes inside out. Hollowing the cube''s center with Spatial Authority, Huo Yuhao tempered the hollowed walls with Space-Time Magic and Primordial Runes rted to it. It took Huo Yuhao an hour to finish this process. Lifting the green cube, Huo Yuhao raised his index finger and used Techno Master ss to register anotheryer of code into the blue orb-shaped core, replicating "Divine Dividing." and "Infinity." into it. After not-so-long two hours, Huo Yuhao sighed and infused his energy into the mana cube, turning the green object into a small blue box. ''Let''s see...'' Huo Yuhao watched the bearings moving and causing diffusion to the spirit energy he infused. As the spirit energy rapidly breaks into pure energy, it flows into the core and rotates continuously. The scripts Huo Yuhao wrote on the outeryer lit up and caused the Mana Cube to float above Huo Yuhao''s hand. He grinned and shouted, "Yeah, baby~! It''s what I''ve been waiting for!" BOOOOOOOOOOOM~!! As Huo Yuhao celebrated, the Mana Cube exploded and washed the area with a massive explosion. "..." Huo Yuhao. "You gotta be kidding me." He wiped ash from his face, looking down on the half-destroyed Mana Cube. "Another failure." Huo Yuhao sighed and threw the garbage into the pile, standing proudly several hundred meters away from him. It looks like a three-story buildingpared to Huo Yuhao himself. He has spent at least a week inside thebs and around one hour outside, but he still couldn''t perfect the Mana Cube. The more he finds a way to improve it, the more ws he discovers about this thing. It''s like a neverending dilemma. Huo Yuhao used Overclock non-stop, elerating his thought to find any possible error. Still, he ended with over 936.903 failures. ''Genius, they say? Monster, they say?'' He couldn''t help butugh ironically. ''Papa, do you need help?'' Helena''s voice echoed from the Spiritual World. ''I could give you some insights, you know?'' Her giggle fixed Huo Yuhao''s mood quickly. ''Sure, Helena.'' He replied gently. Eluxia listened to Huo Yuhao and Helena''s conversation with a smile, feeling the warmth in her chest. It is a feeling she missed in the past. The past she couldn''t remember, but painful when trying to recall even a portion of it. She felt it was better to overwrite these confusing memories with her new family. ''She smiled.'' Tian Mengmented silently on the side. Bing Di nodded and replied, "Yup, she smiled. That''s rare without anyone doing anything to her.'' ''Usually, only Huo Yuhao and Helena could make her smile.'' Huo Yuhao talked about the utility of Mana Cube, and Helene listened with an attentive look on her face. People said children learn faster and process information better, which seemed valid as the one-year-old spiritual being could deduct Huo Yuhao''s problem. "Hmm, what about this?" Helena opened her little mouth. "Why don''t Papa mimic your body''s system and incorporate it into the Mana Cube? Since only your body can withstand such immense energy, using it as a base is a nice idea, no?" "Just try it like you created the AI Onee-chan and me." "But more in a metaphysical and objectified manner." "Papa, everything about you is transcending normal boundaries. Why did you limit yourself by using other examples when you''re the best reference in this vast universe? Hehe, sometimes you were a dummy~!" Huo Yuhao didn''t deny Helena''s yfulments because failure is part of sess. He has considered mimicking his body function into the mana cube, but that would require a new set of codes. And no material is "harder." than him. A bright ideaes to Huo Yuhao''s mind. He gathered some minerals that could absorb blood and melted them into one, creating a prism-shaped alloy. He repeated this several times beforebining them into a Rubik''s cube. It''s a 9x9 Rubik''s Cube with a blue metallic color and reddish outline. The minuscule gap between the squares released strange stagnant air. Huo Yuhao grabbed the Ink Devil Duchess''s Quill and used it like a carving knife, writing the codes on the Rubik''s cube. Each script is "extremely." small and precise, filling the cube''s square quickly, but couldn''t get seen with normal eyes. Even people with Advanced Observation Haki would have a rough time reading the script. Well, it''s not like they could understand thenguage. Only someone with the "Voice of all Things." could understand Huo Yuhao''s Spirit Codes. After a few hours, Huo Yuhao finished the codes and bit his finger. Blood spilled over the Mana Cube, but instead of getting dirty, the cube absorbed it and lit up the codes. The cube appeared to be a bright red light bulb. However, if you see it clearly, one could witness row upon rows of weird crimson alphabets. The core is connected to the squares, soaking up all the blood and bing more like an artificial heart. "Please work..." Huo Yuhao picked the Rubik''s Cube up, infusing his Spirit Energy into it. It has the same function as the previous version but with a more sophisticated flow, like how his body stores energy. The cube began to float and work independently. [Ding! You have gained a new achievement] [Grandmaster Inventor] [Ding! You have created Sub-Body External Energy Reactor] [Do you want to name it?] "Rubik Mana Cube..." "Uh, RM-Cube?" [Name: RM-Cube] [Type: Growth-Type Energy Reactor] [Grade: SSS(Still Growing)] [Description: Rubic Mana Cube is an invention created by the host, using his body as the base of the Mana Cube and Spirit Codes to mimic other functions such as "infinite energy release and absorption cycle." and "absolute control." into it.

You have formed an innate Spiritual Link with RM-Cube] [You have reached level 100] [No God Seats detected] [Lowering the rank back to Level 99.999] "Phew..." Huo Yuhao dropped himself onto the floor and sighed in relief, hugging the Rubik Mana Cube with a grin. "One done, another one ongoing." He said while thinking about Yae''s new vessel. He has a rough idea about how to make a suitable one for the Fox Deity. "Giana, make a new folder." "Okay~!" The small AI fairy appeared in theb. "What name do you want to use on this new project, master~?" Huo Yuhao smirked and replied, "Gigai: Faux Body." Chapter 189: Yaes New Vessel Chapter 189: Yae''s New Vessel I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 186 --- Huo Yuhao stayed in theb for one more week, creating Gigai: Faux Body for Yae. Even though Huo Yuhao was "priorly." inspired by Gigai from Soul Reaper Universe, his version is more like a homunculus from Nasuverse as it is created from his blood. Using Primordial Ink, Huo Yuhao tied the essence of blood with Yin and Yang Elements. He failed countless times because the Gigai couldn''t develop into the desired shape. He med Yae for putting so many requirements. "Err... Yuhao, don''t tell me you became lonely after all those years in another world and decided to make a sex doll?" Tian Meng suddenlymented, which made Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitch in annoyance. This Skydream Ice Worm has been teasing him about the Gigai for days and questioning his fetish. "I''m not. Stop teasing me, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao drew Primordial Rune on the ground. After that, he dropped his blood and catalyzed the growth with Primordial Ink, using tracing to create a living female body. "You say that, but..." Tian Meng squinted her eyes, seeing the love doll on the floor. It was a fair-skinned attractivedy with long pink hair and a bombshell body. ''No matter how you see it, this thing would get used for sexual release...'' Even Eluxia and Bing Di had to agree with Tian Meng''s remarks, knowing Yae requested a body for herself. "Yuhao, can you make another one? I want to try something." Eluxia suddenly asked, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. "Sure." Huo Yuhao repeated the process and created another unfinished Gigai. The problem with his Artificial Vessel is it couldn''t maintain a "breath of life." for too long. Yes, the pink-haired Gigai began to age and crumbled into dust. As Huo Yuhao created another Gigai, Eluxia expanded her spiritual sense and spread it to the newly made Artificial Vessel. It moved slowly from the finger, breathing like a genuine human before Huo Yuhao''s sights, and sat on the floor with a nk look. Eluxia immersed herself in this Gigai, feeling the fleshy sensation after living as Huo Yuhao''s contracted soul for over a year. She opened her eyes and saw him looking with a bewildered look. "It''s working." She said while lifting the slender hand, grazing it over the naked body. "You''re almost there, Yuhao. This body is near perfect, from the nerve system, blood, muscle, skin, connective tissues, but youck something." "What''s it?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. Eluxia hugged him with the Gigai and whispered, "A simple energy charge to imitate life isn''t strong enough for an adult living body to sustain itself." "Everyone started from an infant stage, slowly gathering life energy as they grow older and wither when death follows them. This Artificial Vessel is a different case..." "You skillfully made and blessed it with Yin-Yang Elements to contain Deity''s Soul, skipping a crucial stage." "Life Granting." "This is a perfect stage for you to learn more about my Light Necromancy, Yuhao. I''ll teach you the connection between Life and Death Laws." She parted from the hug and stared at Huo Yuhao''s face smugly, "Are you ready? It would be more fast-paced than before." "You''re challenging the wrong person, Teacher." Huo Yuhao answered with a grin. Eluxia used the Gigai and taught Huo Yuhao about the advanced Light Necromancy, giving him several clues about granting life to a soulless vessel. It was quick because Eluxia transferred the knowledge through the spiritual link, but it depended on Huo Yuhao''sprehension at the end of the day. And inventing this branch of necromancy took Eluxia years, if not her entire life. ''He absorbed my knowledge like a sponge. Sooner orter, he would be able to master my technique.'' Eluxia thought amusingly. She giggled and wished to see abination between Huo Yuhao''s Shadow Army and Light Necromancy in the future. It would be a devasting branch of power, unique to Huo Yuhao only. ''I can''t wait.'' ... ... [You haveprehended the Concept of Life] [The Concept of Life has reached level 2 because of your knowledge] [The Concept of Life has reached level...] [The Concept of Life has reached level...] [The Concept of Life has reached level...] [The Concept of Life has reached level...] [The Concept of Life...] [...] [...] [...] [Concept of Life has reached level 35] [Unlocking Concept Skill: Life Bestowal] [Ding! You haveprehended both Concepts of Life and Death] [Unlocking Concept Skill: Life and Death''s Touch] "Wow, he learned faster than I expected," Eluxiamented as she rubbed her chin. The Gigai she used has long expired, but observing Huo Yuhao from the Spiritual World is still possible. Huo Yuhao sat inside theb motionlessly and released a breath filled with immense life energy. His body transformed before the contracted souls'' eyes, bing leaner and morepact with muscle. And to be exact, every inch of his body is full of pure vitality. He opened his eyes slowly, revealing a beautiful pair of blue sky-like eyes glimmering with a light green hue. "With this..." Huo Yuhao quickly and delicately created a new Gigai, using the same process as before but infused with the Life Bestowal to increase the Vessel''s lifespan. Gigai is supposed to be ageless, but that doesn''t mean no one can injure it. That''s why Huo Yuhao disregards the fact that Yae''s soul could reject the Artificial Vessel because of theck of life. A beautiful Gigaipleted, lying calmly on the floor with its body in full glory. It has long pink hair, a charming face, an hourss figure with an appropriately massive bosom and rear, toned thighs, and potent Life Energy. [Ding! You havepleted a quest] [Rewarding 1x ck Gold Upgrading Ticket and World Travelling Ticket''s Piece(1/4)] Huo Yuhao sped his hand and finished the Gigai with a silk robe because he didn''t want to be teased by Tian Meng again. "DAYUM, GIRL. SHE IS THICC~!!" Tian Meng couldn''t help butment from the Spiritual World. "Look at those massive boobs and ass... Also, Those thighs, Sheesh." "Yuhao~!" She called his name with this needy tone. "Can you make another one like this for me~?? Pretty please." "..." Huo Yuhao looked at the thin air with a deadpan expression. "No." ... ... Huo Yuhao strolled out of theb and found a ck-haired cat girl waiting for him. She yawned and stretched her voluptuous body into an arc, rubbing hazel gold eyes sleepily. Sniff~! Kuroka''s nose twitched as she turned to the left, spotting Huo Yuhao. "Darling, I''ve been waiting for you, nyaa~!" She went for a hug. "How long have you been waiting for me?" Huo Yuhao caught Kuroka and ced her down, staring at her helplessly. Kuroka tilted her head and answered, "Around six hours? Hmm, Yesterday. You were busy with the Norse Gods and ehem bedroom." She coughed yfully, making Huo Yuhao pinch her cheek gently. "I wonder from whom you heard that information..." Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat. It''s between Qianye Ying''er and Scathach, flexing on the other members. Huo Yuhao didn''t know his harem brought more members to suck him dry. Kuroka giggled nervously and changed the topic, "W-Well, that''s not important. I heard you want to visit heaven after this." "Can I go too, Nyaa?" "Sure. Is there anyone else?" Huo Yuhao epted her request immediately. "Gabriel. She''d be in a bad mood if you don''t ask her out." Kuroka replied wryly because that archangel would be annoyed if they didn''t bring her to heaven. Kuroka also doesn''t want to make Gabriel mad because the archangel can make her lose instantly. The concept of Vows and Binding is too strong for Kuroka''s current level. Patting Kuroka''s head, Huo Yuhao told her to follow him back to the Huo Yun''er quarter. The Nekoshou agreed, hugging his left arm excitedly. ''Darling smells more alluring for some reason~!'' The cat girl thought to herself, purring upon experiencing Huo Yuhao''s Concept of Life. They arrived at the Huo Yun''er quarter and saw her sitting in the garden with a pile of books. Huo Yun''er is leaning on the fence, wearing thin-framed sses and biting on her ssy-looking pen. "Mom, I''m back." Huo Yuhao called her from behind. "Ah!" Huo Yun''er instantly panicked and quickly stored the piled books in her spatial ring, identally sending a paper flying in Huo Yuhao''s direction. Huo Yuhao caught the paper and read the writing in silence, "Seven Shades of Blue, A warm night in the cabin with my son..." "We went on the holiday-!" "Stop!" Huo Yun''er ran and snatched the paper, burning it to ashes with a blue me. She covered her embarrassed face with her hands, hoping Huo Yuhao would forget the content of her written imagination. However, a sneaky smile emerged on Huo Yuhao''s face as he stepped forward to face Huo Yun''er. "Don''t worry, mother." He whispered into her ears. "Your secret is safe with me." "It''s not like you sold the best-selling adult novel to the whole world, right?" "Right??" Huo Yun''er head released a white steam, causing Huo Yuhao to chuckle in amusement. "Yun''er, please look at my eyes." Huo Yun''er was shocked when Huo Yuhao called her that, lifting her head and staring at those beautiful blue eyes. She watched him hugging her tightly and heard these heart-fluttering words. "No matter how quirky you are, I will always love you." "Of course, you''re mine and mine alone." "No one allowed to touch my lovely mother beside me." His voice is full of passion and possessiveness, which Huo Yun''er rarely heard from him. Huo Yun''er knees be weak, realizing Huo Yuhao is much hotter in this state. ''Oh no, my knees...'' She couldn''t help but bite her lips in expectation. However, Huo Yuhao pecked her forehead and said, "Well, let''s not push ourselves too far. We just had a wild session yesterday. Your body needs to adapt to the changes first." Huo Yun''er pouted and mumbled, "Fine..." Huo Yuhao cleared his throat and added, "I have finished Yae''s request." He grabbed the chair in the garden and ced the Gigai on it, leaving Huo Yun''er and Kuroka speechless. They saw the beautiful Artificial Vessel and gazed at Huo Yuhao with a questioning look. Huo Yuhao lifted his hand helplessly andmented, "It''s her request. I only made it to meet her requirements." "We''ll see..." Huo Yun''er touched her forehead and pulled a burning blue me, tracing it into the Gigai. The Gigai shuddered and opened its eyes, showing them an alluring pair of purple eyes. Yae Blinked a few times and screamed, "YEAH, BABY~! IT IS WHAT I''VE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS! IT IS WHAT I''VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT~!!" "GOOD JOB, LITTLE BROTHER, HEHE~!" Yae yed around with her new body and jumped around the garden in a giddy mood. She lunged toward Huo Yuhao and stole his lips, kissing him happily. "..." Huo Yun''er. "..." Kuroka. "Get away." Huo Yuhao pushed Yae away because she was trying to grab his hardening little brother. Yaeughed and replied sultrily, "How cold~! I only wanted to thank you, mwah~!" "Don''t be shy. You''re more honest down there." Grabbing Huo Yun''er and Kuroka, Yae grinned at Huo Yuhao and continued, "What about four-!" "No." Huo Yuhao stopped her mouth with his finger. "I have to visit heaven." "Also, we aren''t close..." "Let''s wait and see how I viewed you as a person first." "Eeehhh..." Yae was stunned. She misjudged Huo Yuhao''s persistence against her charm. ''Well, that makes it more interesting.'' "Then, let''s have tea first. I''ll brew it for you." Yae pulled them into the house. ... ... An hourter, Huo Yuhao sighed because this foxy woman was a good talker and knew how to lead a conversation. She is also a tea-brewing master. "What do you think?" Yae asked with a smirk. "Not yet." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. cing the teacup on the table, Huo Yuhao smirked back at Yae andmented, "The tea is delicious, but a rtionship between man and woman doesn''t grow this fast." "Yae, there is a difference between sleeping and knowing someone." "You got me there. What a tough opponent." Yae shrugged in defeat. "A month. Let''s make a bet." "If you still have no interest after a month, I''ll stop." [Ding! You have triggered a quest] "Challenge epted." Huo Yuhao nced at Kuroka. "Let''s go, Kuroka." "Let''s go, nyaa~!" As Huo Yuhao and Kuroka disappeared from the living room, Yae slumped on the table and murmured, "Yun''er, your son is a monster." "His fate is the brightest I have seen in my life." "Is that so?" Huo Yun''er giggled amusingly. Yae dropped her head on Huo Yun''erp and said, "I finally found a mating partner suitable for my lineage. You still remember your promise seven and half years ago, right?" "Yes." "Good, we''ll help him traverse over negative strings of fate. And the tragedy that happened in my universe wouldn''t be repeated." "Huo Yuhao. The fateful one, shall we ascend you over the infinite cosmos?" Chapter 190: Divine Revelation Chapter 190: Divine Revtion I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 187 --- Huo Yuhao and Kuroka went to the Library of Heaven on the corner of the floating ind, fetching Gabriel. The beautiful archangel is sitting on a swing and reading a novel written by Huo Yun''er. "Her halo, nyaa~!" Kuroka pointed her finger at Gabriel''s halo, blinking between bright gold and dark. "I don''t know how sin works in this world, but it sure is bizarre." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butment. They walked to Gabriel and made the archangel put the novel down skillfully between her bountiful bosom. "..." Kuroka has never felt so jealous of someone''s bust. But Gabriel used those mountains so conveniently. ''If only mine could still grow?'' Kuroka''s more blessed than average women in this world, but she still feltcking for some reason. Gabriel tip-toed from her swing and asked Huo Yuhao, "Do you need something, Father?" Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "I wanted to visit heaven. It''s time to reim the throne of heaven and put the heaven system back in control." "I''m here to bring you there? You don''t have a problem escorting me, right?" Gabriel''s blueish-green eyes brightened as she hurriedly grabbed Huo Yuhao''s hand. "Finally~! Of course, I''ll be more than happy to escort you around heaven, Father~!" She replied like an excited child. "You finally returned home." Tears areing from her eyes. Huo Yuhao wasn''t expecting such a dramatic reaction from Gabriel, but he remembered how she truly cared about the Biblical God. Now that care is directed to him like a coping mechanism for her loss. Even though Huo Yuhao wasn''t the one who caused the Biblical God''s death, he was one of the factors in his decline. After sealing Trihexa, the Biblical God went to the Great War''s Battlefield and fought devils, fallen angels, heavenly dragons, and him. ''And that man still has a moment to tell me about Trihexa.'' Huo Yuhao shook his head, staring at Gabriel with a defeated look. "Father~?" Gabriel lowered her head in confusion. Letting a weary sigh from his mouth, Huo Yuhao patted Gabriel''s head gently and said, "I see... Then, let''s not dy it." "Let''s go to heaven now." "Mm~!" Gabriel hugged his left arm. "Me too! Don''t forget about me, nyaa~!" Kuroka hugged his other arm. Gabriel snapped her finger and created a golden magic circle below their feet, doing mass teleportation magic. Since Gabriel was from heaven, she felt obligated to do so, even though Kuroka knew the location too. ''To the heaven~!'' ''I couldn''t wait.'' Imagining Huo Yuhao sitting on the throne of heaven, Gabriel sent three of them to heaven. They arrived at the Sixth Heaven instantly and saw three familiar faces greeting them. "Yuhao-dono!" Micheal was surprised to see Huo Yuhao here. Yet, Gabriel has prepared everything to wee him since his second appearance. He tried kneeling alongside his brothers, but Huo Yuhao stopped them because a formal greeting isn''t "actually." needed. He wasn''t here to impose dominance, as they surrendered to him one year ago. Well, he would do itter. Huo Yuhao is paying respect and homage to the Biblical God. He didn''t want to barge in and create chaos, you know? "Uriel, Raphael. You can say yourints now before I reim the throne. Unlike Micheal and Gabriel, you two showed dissatisfaction when surrendering to me one year ago, no?" "You surrender not because you trusted me. You surrender because yourte father ordered all of you to do so." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes shine when staring at two archangels. "Come on, said it. I won''t be mad." A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because some constructed critique wouldn''t turn off his ze to conquer this world. Uriel opened his mouth first and said, "We are not dissatisfied. We only thought there would always be one and only God in this heaven. Our father, Our creator, the Supreme God of Humanity." "Father decided you''ll take his mantle, and as his son, I only follow his teaching to this very heart. Even if I opposed the idea." Raphael nodded and continued, "Your action so far showed no indication of wiseness. Killing without remorse, conquering without thinking of consequence." "I know it sounds hypocritical, considering how many lives this hand has taken in the Great War. Our father isn''t innocent either, but his wisdom shan''t get surpassed by you." "I believe you aren''t ready." ''They are right.'' Huo Yuhao chuckled while closing his eyes. After realizing how disappointing Highschool DxD is, he became less weighty in his judgment and yful with his action. There is nothing wrong with being yful, but he was the leader of the Dragon Nest and millions of others. Arrogance and Confidence mixed in his soul, bringing disaster like the devil''s army he led to the Realm of the Dead. "Haha, that struck me quite brutally." "I guess being Chief of Patience and Temperance makes you two observative, huh?" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and stared at the two archangels, shaking his head because they weren''t trusting him. "I''ll keep your words in mind." He gave them a smug expression. "We will see if I was worthy or not soon." He walked to the seventh heaven with Micheal, Gabriel, and Kuroka. They saw a tall golden gate decorated with beautiful yet humble-looking ornaments. The gate stood grandly above pure white clouds. CRIEEEEK~! As Huo Yuhao took a step forward, the gate of heaven opened as if it was weing him inside. "..." Micheal was speechless. He could only enter after praying for months, if not years. Even though their father granted him ess and sub-control over heaven''s system, he''s technically an uninvited guest for the seventh heaven. The seventh heaven is the home of Biblical God, afortable ce where he epts his eternal rest. His remaining became one with the world and protected it from harm if something dangerous ever happened. He also left Sacred Gear''s System, so humanity could gain a chance to survive in this supernatural world. Gabriel''s body trembled when seeing this sight, following Huo Yuhao from behind with admiration. "Nyaa~!" Kuroka''s face smacked against an invisible barrier. "I can''t take another step..." Huo Yuhao was "actually." amused by this sight and nced at the gate of heaven. Watching the ck girl struggle to break the invisible barrier, but no matter how hard she tries, the force is still way above her current level. After all, this invisible barrier is the same barrier the Biblical God uses to seal Trihexa. Not to mention any intruder would get kicked out by the defense system if they were threats. Fortunately, Kuroka isn''t a threat to heaven. Huo Yuhao stared at the gate of heaven and said, "Can you let her in? She''s one of my trustedpanions." "She won''t do anything bad with me around." "Uwaaa~!" Kuroka used too much strength as the invisible barrier disappeared, causing her to smack her face on the cloud. It wasn''t as fluffy as she expected. "Uugh..." Huo Yuhao offered a hand to lift her, and Kuroka grasped it with a wronged expression. "Thank you, Darling~!" She said sweetly. ''Father!'' Gabriel red at Kuroka. ''!!!'' The gate of heaven reacted weirdly as well. They entered the seventh heaven and saw a lonely throne with two floating orbs on each side. This ce is basically an empty room filled with clouds and a golden sky. Even the sky looks somewhat gloomy for some reason. Micheal and Gabriel prayed while kneeling their legs down, seeing the throne with the utmost respect. "Yuhao-dono/Father." "Please take a seat." "He has been waiting for you for years." Huo Yuhao walked casually and sat down on the throne of heaven, feeling the invasion of spiritual energy. Usually, Huo Yuhao would resist it, and sensing no harm, he epted the connection. Ding! Like a bell of reign getting rang, the whole heaven trembled. Above Huo Yuhao''s head, a godly halo formed itself. However, it wasn''t just golden, but blue gold instead, simr to the crown of light he had when using Ancient Ink Devil''s Form. On earth, a phenomenon happened abruptly as several stars surrounded the sky. The ground and sea shook violently for a second, spurting several white pirs. The white clouds be bluish-gold, indicating heavenly changes in the atmosphere. A drop of water fell into a motionless white world, and Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again. Huo Yuhao saw the Biblical God standing before him with a smile. "It took you longer than I expected to visit this ce. Well, my vision isn''t as omnipotent as I thought." "There always be the sky above the sky." "Nice to meet you, Huo Yuhao." "Or should I call you Putra Indra Santoso?" "You..." Huo Yuhao frowned solemnly. He never told anyone about his previous life''s name. Huo Yun''er and Yae definitely knew something, but they weren''t women who would snitch. The Biblical God smiled helplessly and sat on the ground, "Sit. I''ll exin how I know about this particr information." "Also, you can call me Yeshua." "Though, no one called me that after my ascension." "Okay, Yeshua." Huo Yuhao sighed and sat because he had too many questions. "Water? Wine?" "No, I''m not thirsty." "Straight to the point then." Yeshua nodded calmly. He looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "One year after your disappearance in the Great War, I used my heavenly vision to see everything about you." "After all, you''reing from another world, apletely unknown territory to ours." "Let''s just say I bite more than I can chew." "Like a p on the head, I received a revtion, which is ironic because I''m one of the strongest beings here..." "That revtion contained a warning for me and a task for you." "Warning that I shouldn''t dream about finding your secret, even though the revtion shared your first life''s name to convince you that this was real." "The task is?" Huo Yuhao questioned calmly. Yeshua took a deep breath and answered, "As soon as you conquer this world, a powerful being will arrive with his army." "He''ll be your first obstacle to bing part of the order, the revtion said." "It''s your destiny to fight this being. Or this world will face its end." Chapter 191: Huo Yuhaos 1st Divinity Chapter 191: Huo Yuhao''s 1st Divinity I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 188 --- "It''s your destiny to fight this being. Or this world will face its end." "My destiny." Huo Yuhao breathed in, taking all this information with a cool-headed mind. He was shocked, but the Biblical God/Yeshua has no reason to lie. However, who sent this information? He couldn''t think of anyone at the top of his head. "But why my destiny? If this being is an obstacle for me, it should be a fated enemy of mine, no?" Yeshua smiled helplessly and answered, "The reason behind that is yourself, Yuhao. I also thought hard about it when receiving this revtion, and then I realized you are growing stronger." "Unlike me and any other gods or powerful beings in this beautiful world, we couldn''t grow stronger beyond our prime. Our innate divinity is "unfortunately." based on the privilege this world has set in." "Take that away. And we are no different than fish out of water." "Even myself cannot be considered the strongest here in the world as the red one has protected the dimensional gap for countless years. Red couldn''t leave because there was a bigger threat outside, waiting to swallow our world. More powerful, more sinister, more dangerous than Trihexa." "Because of your sudden growth, destiny altered itself to fit your current strength or even more considering you''ll be a god after this." "I''m curious what kind of God you would be. Is it based on your strength? Your character? Or your deeds? I knew there is more than one way someone could attain godhood, but yours are moreplex." "Like I would know..." Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat. Hey on the ground and stared at the nd sky, picturing a future where he settled down everything. His loved ones live happily without burden, bathing in prosperity. Prosper. Luck. Yeshua saw Huo Yuhao with a surprised look and chuckled because the faint divinity ignited, burning with passion from this young man. He looked at an almost see-through hand and said, "Well, I''ve fulfilled my task here." "Yuhao, I''ll give you advice as a god." "God isn''t everything. They are stillcking more than others and could be defeated." "For Gods, belief is everything. It also applies to you." "If you believed in what you desired, the people would follow it wholeheartedly." "This is going to be your final rest, huh?" Huo Yuhaomented while meditating on the floor. Yeshua has an enlightened expression and replies, "I''ve died for years. Even though I haven''t aplished everything, my death felt more peaceful now." As the Biblical God disappeared, he suddenly opened his eyes in worry and continued, "Wait. Wait a minute." "..." Huo Yuhao felt this situation was simr for some reason. Oh yeah, that damned best friend of his. Yeshua gave Huo Yuhao a knowing grin and said his final will, "Take care of my daughter, my future son-inw." "She''s a good child, so don''t be too harsh on her, okay?" "Of course, it also applies to your brother-inw. They might be unique, but I know their hearts are "inherently." filled with goodness. With some exceptions, which you can ignore if you want." "Goodbye." "Hahaha~!" Hisughter filled the white realm as he disappeared into the fragment of lights. Huo Yuhao helplessly shook his head because the Biblical God gained a finalugh at the end. [Ding! The host has broken through mortality] [The unstuck Godhood Condensation started again] [Focus on your desire, host] "I''ll take care of Gabriel, Yeshua." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, feeling the power left behind by the Biblical God entering his body. "Rest assured and take a break." [Ding! 10th Spirit Ring made of Biblical God''s remains absorbed to the "Chain of Heavens."] [Ding! The host has be a God through unconventional methods] [No, God Realm detected] [Using another microsome medium, the Ancient Godlight Devil''s Power forcibly awakened] [Extreme Matter Maniption] [Creating an inner universe within the host''s cell] [1 Cell Universe is currently activated] [You have 69.9 Trillion Cells left to get awakened] ... ... Gabriel''s eyes widened when seeing a blinding bluish-golden light explode from Huo Yuhao''s body. The seventh heaven trembled violently, and everything turned into chaos. She blinked amazingly and saw a familiar aura approaching her. "Father..." She cried and looked up. ''This is a small gift I forgot to impart when passing away. It umtes more power after being confined in my throne for so long.'' A voice entered Gabriel''s ear. ''Live happily, my precious daughter.'' Gabriel''s heart stirred in happiness as she dropped to her knees. She hugged the gift given by her father and sobbed, "G-Goodbye, Father." "May you have an absolute and peaceful rest." Gabriel''s brothers also experienced the same thing as they knelt, crying in joy. Micheal received a message to be less solemn and enjoy his life more than controlling heaven, as Huo Yuhao took over it now. Meanwhile, Uriel and Raphael received some words from the Biblical God about trusting Huo Yuhao more from now on. After all, the young man sitting on the throne of heaven would be the ruler of the world soon. Kuroka stared at Micheal and Gabriel weirdly, catching a chess piece floating to her. She picked it up and felt Huo Yuhao''s wisp of aura from it, smiling because she had heard Grayfia and the otherdies enter his peerage. "Is this for me?" The empress''s piece radiated with divine blue light, merging with Kuroka''s body. She gasped and sensed a rejection from inside because there was still the mutated bishop piece from her previous peerage. Crack! "Eh?" The bishop''s piece shattered into dust when shing with Huo Yuhao''s True Evil Piece. Such a weak medium wouldn''t be able to fight a godly catalyst to connect her and Huo Yuhao''s souls. "Meditate. Cultivate your spirit energy as much as you can. This world will change soon..." Huo Yuhao''s voice appeared in her head. "I''ll increase the spirit energy concentration and reform this world to be more suitable for my divinity." "Mildly said, I''m imposing my desire over this realm." "Okay, darling~!" Kuroka nodded and sat on the ground, meditating to increase her spirit energy. Everyone, who''s part of the Dragon Nest, also gets the same massage as Kuroka. Huo Yuhao warned them before he fell into a passive state. The world of Highschool DxD revolved, evolving to a higher realm as Spirit Energy flooded all sides of the world. Huo Yuhao''s sense spreads like water filling an empty cup, loading the earth and countlesss outside it. The dimensional gap trembled, and a massive red dragon blinked her eyes in shock. She felt a terrifying force invading the ce she had sworn to protect for her entire life, but it wasn''ting from outside. Every God, who is still alive, felt enormous yet dangerous pressure on their shoulders. They felt a cold yet majestic gazending on their divine soul, boringly seeing them as lower ss. Some gods even kneeled on the ground because the pressure was too much. At the Dragon Nest''s Academy, Ophis is enjoying her lunch break with Kunou and stops in the middle of chewing her sandwich. The Ouroboros Dragon lifted her head and gazed at the sky with a rare smile on her small face. "Yuhao?" She said in confusion. The brilliant stars decorated the sky and made people question if this was the apocalypse, not realizing the event before their eyes were the awakening of the new God. Huo Yun''er, Scathach, Yae, and Qianye Ying''er sat in the garden after the tiring night. When Huo Yuhao''s aura appeared out of nowhere, they instinctively grinned. "He reached it," Scathachmented while leaning on herzy chair. "As expected of a disciple of mine." Qianye Ying''er pped her hand and added, "We should catch up soon, no? I don''t think my fake God''s strength is enough to stand beside him now." Yae giggled and responded, "Don''t worry, child. You''re growing steadilypared to these two." "Huo Yun''er is undergoing her Deitification after her recovery. Damn, Yuhao is that brutal on the bed, huh? And Scathach probably bes one when epting her nature more." "Being a God yer put her in a weird position, but she could choose to be the "Deity of War." or "Deity of Blood." with her powers." "What about both?" Scathach returned casually. Yae shrugged and replied, "No one will stop you." "Dual Divinities aren''t rare, to begin with. Who was it, Indra, right? He possessed several divinities and controlled them quite decently." Huo Yun''er ced her tea down and closed her eyes, remembering the hardship she had gone through in the White Tiger Mansion. She lived as a maid who could barely survive and feed her son. Let''s not talk about the food they eat daily, which caused even a scoop of rice to be scarce in their cottage-like house. She grumbled in anger every time this thought appeared in her mind. It was such a heavenly blessing for her to Huo Yuhao. "I''ll start my Deitification." She suddenly said, which made Yae frown. Yae observed her inheritor''s expression and sighed, "Go. You know how to take over my divinities, right? You could also take my position as I no longer need them." "I want to try another field in this life." Huo Yun''er smiled at Yae and replied, "Thank you for the knowledge." Yae rolled her eyes because this mother-and-son pair was monstrous in potential. They are like a diamond stuck in the mood, ording to her vision in the past, but encountered great luck. Huo Yun''er fate should end when Huo Yuhao reaches eleven years old, but she is now almost a deity-level entity. And let''s not get started with Huo Yuhao. ... ... Seventh Heaven. Huo Yuhao breathed in and out, maintaining a calm rhythm. Infinite energy seemed to invade his mind and body, reaching his soul ultimately. [Ding! You have condensed your first divinity] [Congrattion, Host] [You have reached 1st ss God Realm] [You have be the "God of Fortune."] Chapter 192: The Record of Ragnarok Chapter 192: The Record of Ragnarok I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 189 --- [Divinity: Fortune added to the host''s status] Huo Yuhao smiled when hearing Evo''s notification and kept staying in this motionless position. He was far from over and channeled his energies again. Possessing an enormous reserve is a blessing for him. [Converting Spirit Energy into Immortal Qi] [Condensing the second divinity] Huo Yuhao pushed his desire to the limit and seized this chance to be more powerful than ever. Douluo Dalu''s Gods are limited by their divinity as they can only possess one at a time, including Tang San, who must change between his Sea God and Asura God''s Seats. However, Highschool DxD World is fundamentally different. A God could possess several divinities simultaneously, which doesn''t mean they are more "powerful." than Douluo Dalu''s Gods. This loophole opened a new gap for the Dragon Nest''s members to be stronger. And Huo Yuhao wanted to abuse this function, putting his benefit above everyone else in the Douluo Dalu''s Worlds. Kacha! The space around Huo Yuhao suddenly cracked and revealed the dimensional gap. A wisp of dimensional energy prated seventh heaven''s defense and seeped into Huo Yuhao''s body. [Absorbing the Dimensional Gap(Void)''s power to stabilize the host''s immense energy] [Condensing 8th, 9th, and 10th Blood Rings of Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Martial Soul] [3 Cells of Universe are currently activated] [Congrattion, Host] [You have reached the Half-Step ss Godking Realm] [You have be the "Dragon God of Destruction."] A grin appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because he fulfilled his promise to Naga. He could feel two sources of energy lingering within his cell, appearing like two bright stars in dark gxies. The first star is golden and releases a warm shine, having the quality of the sun. Meanwhile, the second star is entirely dark, with the formation of clouds around it. These clouds emitted intense heat and electricity enough to fry anything around them. [Naga''s Purgatory me: Thunderfire has evolved under the appropriate condition] [You have acquired "Neb Thunderfire."] [Name: Neb Thunderfire] [Grade: EX] [Description: A fiery thunder star that eradicated ck me Universe into ashes] "..." Huo Yuhao read the description of the Neb Thunderfire with a deadpan look. Huo Yuhao guessed Naga did something in the past, but to think he was the one who ended his home universe. That reckless dragon has never ceased to surprise him. "No wonder he doesn''t want to talk about it." [Ding! You have finished the "Be a God." quest] [Rewarding 3x tinum Tickets, The Seed of Adversity(SSS+), and 1x World Travelling Ticket] [Name: The Seed of Adversity] [Type: Material/Consumable] [Grade: SSS+] [Description: The Seed of Adversity is the resentment Chaoting Purgatory Dragon after devouring all adversity in his homnd. It''s a key to open ck me Universe''s dimensional gate, but you could also consume it to increase Chaoting Dragon Emperor''s Martial Soul quality] "Let''s settle this issue forter." "I have something else to do right now." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and witnessed the seventh heaven once again. He lifted his hand and changed the world of Highschool DxD with his Half-Step God king''s authority, fixing all the dimensional cracks all over the ce. "No, this isn''t my full power." "I can change more..." He looked up and watched countlesss (stars) lining before the earth. Huo Yuhao opened his right hand and closed it shortly after, "Universal Seal. I wouldn''t let outsiders interfere with my from now on." He moved his gaze to the two floating orbs near the throne of heaven and smiled. These orbs are Heaven''s System and Sacred Gear''s System, respectively. After some consideration, Huo Yuhao grabbed Heaven''s System and used his newly strengthened Divine Sense. Yet, Evo''s notification appeared out of nowhere. [Ding! You have gained ess to Heaven''s System] [Do you want to add "Heaven''s System." to the "Sub System: Dragon Nest Management System."?] [Doing so will allow the user to directly change anyone in this world who believes or have faith in you to be Dragon Nest''s Members spontaneously] [Of course, with added functions, such as "Heavenly Mandates." they have to follow] "Do it." Huo Yuhao nodded calmly, feeling a surge of information in his head. He blinked a few times and could sense countless emotions from anyone who believed in Biblical God. Some were afraid, but most rejoiced by his presence, even if they didn''t know about Supernatural World. It''s just a feel-good sensation that makes them at peace. Emotion. Thinking about this word makes Huo Yuhao feel amused inside for some reason. If He followed the script like the original Huo Yuhao went through, he''d ascend as the God of Emotion. A powerful 1st ss God and the original Huo Yuhao''s martial soul could push the border to half-step God King, but that''s it. His limit is "instantly." sealed when his family name isn''t Tang. "Well, next." Huo Yuhao covered his mouth and nced at the Sacred Gear''s System. [Ding! Do you want to fuse Sacred Gear''s System with Azure Emperor''s Vault?] [Doing so will create a living spirit inside the Azure Emperor Vault, which automatically controls all the sacred gears in this world] [Upon merging, all the Sacred Gear''s Users will feel powerless for a moment because the Vault''s Spirit cut off their connection and ced them in second-onmand only of wielding the Sacred Gears] [The host obviously could give Sacred Gears permanent to the chosen ones] [After all, the Sacred Gears are rightfully the host''s assets] Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "Fuse them." [Ding! The living spirit, "Palu.", is now the monitor of sacred gears and all your creations] Huo Yuhao summoned Palu and saw the golden slime jumping out of thin air, rubbing its small head on his cheek. "Good, you''re not inferiorpared to Eas now." Hemented with a chuckle. "Wu~!" Palu nodded excitedly. Huo Yuhao stood up from the throne of heaven and stopped the magical event that had happened in the world, restoring the sky, sea, and ground back to normal. "Father~! You''re amazing~!" Gabriel suddenly hugged him, giving a tight squish with her voluptuous boobs. Huo Yuhao smiled and responded, "Mm, there shouldn''t be any problem with heaven from now on." "I also lifted a ban regarding sin, like love for an angel." "Having sex would be fine, but don''t fall into the pleasure." He gazed at Micheal. "And yes, Micheal." "Yes, Yuhao-sama!" Micheal suddenly kneeled before him. Huo Yuhao shook his head wryly andmented, "You and your brother could find your loved ones now. It''s not taboo anymore." "Well, It also applies to all angels, excluding fallen ones." "I''m sure your father conveyed some words about this beforehand." "Also, this." Huo Yuhao flicked his finger, returning all the fallen angels to faith. His Faith. Azazel and other Fallen Angels felt a connection to heaven again, instinctively crying. "He did it..." Azazel wiped his eyes with dor bills. "Boss has fixed heaven for us." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes because Azazel''s emotion reached out to this ce and yawned, "I want to take a rest." "However, my job isn''t fully done here." "Darling! I''ve reached the Soul Douluo Realm!" Kuroka opened her eyes from meditation and rushed to Huo Yuhao, hugging him from behind. He patted her head and returned, "Good, Kuroka. You''ll be a Title Douluo soon." "But girls, can you free me for a moment? I have to announce something to the whole supernatural world." "Okay~!" 2x. Gabriel and Kuroka released Huo Yuhao, anticipating him to do something extraordinary again. Huo Yuhao cleared his throat and started speaking with his Divine Sense covering the entire globe, probing the secret realms of other mythologies effortlessly. "This is Huo Yuhao. I am sure everyone knows my name at this point..." "I''m here to dere one andst offer for you to fight me. We''ll straightforwardly settle this problem." "In a week, I invited all of you to the battle of the gods. It would decide the fate of your factions and this world." "You can bring your armies, but those weak beings won''t matter to me." Huo Yuhao smirked and announced, "This is the Record of Ragnarok." Chapter 193: The Fallen Archangel, Gabriel Chapter 193: The Fallen Archangel, Gabriel I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 190 --- Huo Yuhao leaned on the bedframe of Gabriel''s bed. She invited him here because he was exhausted after turning his Spirit Energy into Immortal Qi and having all his Mental Force upgraded simrly. Well, maybe "exhausted." is slightly misleading because Huo Yuhao couldn''t feel tired after reaching godhood. It''s more like he hadn''t adapted to this new power yet. He closed his eyes and felt extreme changes in his body. Every cell in his body seemed to overflow with natural energy and power, but only three activated. That''s three out of 69.2 billion cells, each possessing energy simr to a living universe. They are the source of Huo Yuhao''s godhood. No, these two cells are for his godhood to resist Universal Order, which could cause when his presence touches a lower realm like this world. That''s why Seventh Heaven and the whole world are violently shaking because of this matter. "Father." Gabriel''s voice brushed Huo Yuhao''s ears. And he didn''t have to open his eyes to see what Gabriel was currently on. The Archangel of Chastity stood before Huo Yuhao with a sliver of cloth sticking to her voluptuous body. She wore some cloak hanging over her hardened nipple. Translucent sweats are running on her pure body. And her blonde hair flowed down, reaching to her bubbly ass. Chastity? Are you sure Gabriel isn''t lust-incarnate herself? Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but admire Yeshua''s taste in creating angels like Gabriel, or maybe it was this world''s nature to birth thick women. Not thick with k at the end, but c. Maybe triple c. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Yes, Gabriel? Do you need something from me?" "C-Can you take my virginity!" "Why so?" "Because... Because I love you." "Every day without you felt so mundane and boring. I know my affection and feelings are "probably." an annoyance to you, but I don''t want to be afraid anymore." "I want to let out my feelings." "My love." "Father, please..." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and smiled helplessly inside because his rtionship with Gabriel was weird. She saw his figure as a coping mechanism for losing her father. However, the Biblical God''sst will seemed to open her eyes. "Annoyance, huh?" Huo Yuhaomented casually. "What makes you think so, Gabriel?" "I''ve never seen you as an annoyance. You were a beautiful and smartdy, maybe a little naive when we met for the first time, but that''s your charming point." "And all this time, you didn''t change much." "I still like you this way." "Come here." Huo Yuhao patted the bed gently. Gabriel followed his order and sat beside him, sometimes ncing at his face. "Gabriel, what do you like about me?" "Everything." "Everything?" "Mm, your hair, eyes, face, personality. I like how you dominate everything before you." "Even if I killed an innocent life?" "T-That''s... You want to kill innocent life?" Gabriel hesitated when hearing this answer, which made Huo Yuhao chuckle. Huo Yuhao gave a reassuring look and returned, "I won''t unless they are idiots or my enemy." "Idiots... enemies..." Gabriel nodded. She agreed with Huo Yuhao''s words. Huo Yuhao smirked and ced his index finger on Gabriel''s lips, brushing it to her little nose. "Well, that was enough, I suppose." He said amusingly. "Gabriel, do you know why I give you my Evil Piece." "So, I could be your peerage?" Gabriel tilted her head. "No, the reason is..." Huo Yuhao slowly seized Gabriel''s lips and kissed her for the first time, making her eyes widen in surprise. "So you could be on my side forever." "Forever." Gabriel cried in happiness and felt Huo Yuhao''s tongue leading her to an unknown territory. Their lips smacked against each other, moaning in pleasure. There is an itchy sensation in Gabriel''sher region, which gathered up because of her love for Huo Yuhao. "Yes~!" The flowing surge exploded from Gabriel''s dder, making her hips shake like no tomorrow. A gush of translucent liquides from her lower mouth, wetting the bed''s edge and carpet. "Amazing~!" "That''s Amazing..." "DADDY~!" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrow when Gabriel called him that andughed in defeat. It seemed that he awakened something inside of her. After a few seconds, Gabriel recovered from her first male touch and looked at Huo Yuhao''s crotch. Nervously swallowing her saliva, the beautiful archangels grabbed the pants and pulled them down. Since Huo Yuhao didn''t say anything, Gabriel believed what she currently does was right. "Daddy, you''re so big." She released theid monster out and was surprised by its sheer size. "It''s not even erect yet." Qianye Ying''er has warned her about Huo Yuhao''s penis, but this is something else. ''It''s warm.'' She grabbed the penis and massaged it with her soft hand. She slowly let the blood flow through the meaty monster and brought her face closer, sniffing the manly scent. Giving some licks on the tip, Gabriel cupped Huo Yuhao''s balls and used her holy power. "Oh, wow... Where did you learn these." Huo Yuhao''s dick felt amazing. Gabriel grinned and confidently replied, "Books." ''Ah, mother''s books...'' Gabriel gradually swallowed Huo Yuhao''s penis and massaged the behemoth with her throat. She doesn''t gag and stares at him proudly. "Uh...'' Huo Yuhao grunted hard. "I''m cumming!" Gabriel''s eyes widened as ropes of cum flowed to her throat. She hurriedly raised her head and contained the juice in her mouth. She opened her mouth for Huo Yuhao to see and twirled the cum with her tongue. After that, she swallowed it in one gulp. Glug~! "Mmm, Daddy''s cum is so delicious." "I want more..." "Here." Gabriel rubbed her stomach, tracing her finger over the womb. Huo Yuhao took Gabriel''s ankle and pushed her to the bed frame, licking her pussy lips. AHHN~! "D-Daddy~! That ce is dirty, no~! AAAHN~!!" Gabriel couldn''t contain her moan as Huo Yuhao licked her pussy, teasing the virgin cunt yfully. He used Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art on her, making all his touch feel amazing. He turned her on beyond heaven itself. Like, literally. Gabriel cum again and has watery eyes from the pleasures. ''N-No wonder so many fallen angels fallen because of sexual acts... If Daddy didn''t lift the restriction, I could have fallen more than a thousand times.'' "Do you like that?" Huo Yuhao licked Gabriel''s thighs and ced his dick on her moist cunt. "YESH~!" "Then, here. I''ll give you more love." Huo Yuhao shoved his dick into Gabriel''s pussy and felt the tightness of her virgin hole. The flesh wall is squishing his penis and not letting it move. "AHHNN~!" "DADDY''S BIG COCK IS BREAKING ME~!" "Oh~! AHN~!" Huo Yuhao groaned and moved his hips, fucking Gabriel''s pussy in the best way possible. He knocked her womb and hit several sensitive spots. Their lewd moans filled the room. Gabriel is a slobbering mess after experiencing a ton of pleasure. The best thing she ever had before getting pounded by Huo Yuhao''s cock was masturbation. And that''s amazing, but she couldn''t do it too much because of the restriction. Now. "SO GOOD~!!" "DADDY IS SPLITTING ME IN HALF!" "OWH~! OWH!!" "I''M CUMMIN, GABRIEL~!" Huo Yuhao warned her. "CUM~! DADDY!" "CUM INSIDE ME~!!" "CUM AND BREED YOUR LITTLE SLUTTY ANGEL~!!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH~!!" Gabriel let out a breathy moan, and Huo Yuhao spurted his spunk inside her. Huo Yuhao patted Gabriel''s head and said, "Good job." "Take a rest first. We''ll do it again after you recover." Gabriel couldn''t respond because her body and mind were drowned in pleasure, fainting due to shock. Huo Yuhao wiped his forehead and sensed a familiar presence entering the room. He turned around and saw Kuroka in her Nekoshou''s heat state. She wore nothing but thongs and see-through yukata. Her eyes have love-shaped pupils. "Bad Darling~!" Kuroka said with a dripping pussy. "You make me so turned on~! Nyaa~!" "Take responsibility and breed me~!!" She licked her lips sensually. Huo Yuhao shook his head andmented, "Bad kitty." "Bad kitty, I like it~!!" Kuroka hopped on Huo Yuhao and kissed him. Chapter 194: And the Playful Nekoshou, Kuroka Chapter 194: And the yful Nekoshou, Kuroka I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 191 --- "Mm~!" Kuroka sat on Huo Yuhao''sp and massaged his hardening dick with her ass cheeks. She kissed him with her sopping wet lips, moaning like a cat in heat. "NYAAAH~!! My titties, darling sucking my tiities~!" Huo Yuhao sucked on Kuroka''s right breast and teased her nipple with his tongue. As he pinched her other nipple, the ck Nekoshou squirmed and moaned again. "Cum, Kuroka." He bit her nipple gently, sending electric wave-like pleasure to her whole body. "AAhn~!" Kuroka arched her back and squirted her pussy juice. The liquid is gushing like a fountain, and Huo Yuhao smells the sweet yet musky scent. Huo Yuhao looked at Kuroka''s cat ears and rubbed them with his finger. "HYAA~!" "D-Darling, that''s tickling me~!!" Kuroka''s body trembled with a blush, feeling uneasy as if her skin was "softly." getting brushed by feathers. It''s uneasy. It''s uneasy, but Kuroka is "actually." turned on by it. Huo Yuhao smiled because this was interesting. He licked Kuroka''s ear and made her shudder in pleasure. "Mm~! It feels weird." "As if you are touching my g-spots." "Uuuhhh~!!" Kuroka moaned while letting out a sigh of relief. Kissing each other again, Kuroka noticed Huo Yuhao hadn''t cum yet after she rubbed it with her ass cheeks for five minutes. She pouted and kneeled on the floor, bringing the monster''s cock closer to her chest. Even though Kuroka''s chest is slightly smaller than Gabriel, she could still give Huo Yuhao a sensational boobjob with them. She wrapped the meaty rod between her bountiful mountain and began to knead down, making Huo Yuhao gasp in wonder. "You used Senjutsu." "Hehe~!" Kuroka stuck out her tongue yfully. "A normal boobjob won''t make you satisfied. That''s what I learned from your mother, darling~!" "We have to go over and beyond, nyaa~!!" ''We?'' Huo Yuhaoughed helplessly. How many women have his mother and Qianye Ying''er corrupted when he went on a quest? Kuroka swallowed Huo Yuhao''s dick, which made his eyes widen pleasantly. Huo Yuhao always thought cat girls have a tongue with a sandpaper-like texture, but surprisingly Kuroka''s tongue only felt slightly rough than Gabriel''s. That slight roughness makes the fetio more intense, stimting the sensation to another level. Kuroka had a smug look on her face and served Huo Yuhao the best she could, pushing him closer to the edge. She licked his precum and blinked in amusement because he tasted amazing. After a few minutes, Huo Yuhao grabbed Kuroka''s head and pushed his dick deeper into her throat. "I''m cumming~!" "Nyaa~!!" Kuroka was "literally." caught off guard. Ropes upon ropes of cum filled her throat and entered her stomach. The taste of Huo Yuhao''s cum is sweet yet tangy, but with an addicting aftertaste. Kuroka didn''t feel pain from the dick inside her throat because her body was flexible. She pulled the meaty rod out and smacked her lips, "Mmm~!" "You know what? I can''t get enough of your cum, darling~!" "Can we do this daily?" Huo Yuhaoughed and answered, "You might regret that statement soon." "Nyaa?" Kuroka was confused as Huo Yuhao lifted her off the floor. Huo Yuhao gently tossed Kuroka to the bed and ripped her thongs to nothingness. He used Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art and fingered her moist cunt, causing her to squeal. "W-Wait, nyaa~!" "Too soon~! AAAAAAHHHN~!!" Kuroka orgasmed and looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. Huo Yuhao smirked and positioned his dick on Kuroka''s pussy, rubbing it around the hole. He teased her briefly andmented, "Gabriel is a good girl, but you''re a bad kitty, right?" "Bad kitty, beg for it." "Beg for this dick to breed you?" ''So hot~!'' Kuroka thought while humping the air. "D-Darling, nyaa~!" "Please breed this bad kitty and fill her womb with your seed." "Make me pregnant with three children at the time." "MM~! So we can have preggo sex, NYAA~!!" "Fuck me! PLEASE POUND MY PUSSY LIKE NO TOMORROW~!!" "Okay." Huo Yuhao smirked, pushing his dick into her hole. Kuroka wrapped her legs behind Huo Yuhao''s back as he shoved his dick into her pussy. "OOHH, This is... It is bigger than I thought it would be inside me." "My tummy is bulging." "My womb got prated by darling''s dick, hehe~!" "I''ll start to move." Huo Yuhao rocked his hips. "Eh, what? AAAAHNNNN~!" Kuroka reacted toote and couldn''t believe this amount of pleasure. She moaned wildly and filled the entire room with pleasant screams, having her pussy pounded by Huo Yuhao. "Big~! BIG~! DARLING''S COCK IS SLAYING ME~!!" "I MIGHT- AAAAHNNN~!!" She couldn''t even finish her words and orgasmed midway. "Ahhn~!" "Ahhn~!" "Ahhn~!" Kuroka drooled and was conquered by Huo Yuhao''s dick, mainly because she couldn''tst long against Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art. And The amount of pleasure she had experienced right now was out of this world. "I''m cumming, Kuroka." Huo Yuhao warned her. "Fweh~? Cum in me~!!" Kuroka responded as if she was drunk. Well, she was drunk for pleasure. "NYAAAAAAAAAAAA~!!!" Kuroka orgasmed hard and rolled her eyes, having her stomach bloat slightly. "Good job." Huo Yuhao smiled while pulling out his dick, feeling something from behind. "Hmm?" He turned around and saw Gabriel giving him a rimjob, "Gabriel?" "Yes, Daddy. I''ve recovered~!" She nodded with a smile. "You can fuck me again~! I want to try the famous doggy style and sixty-nine position." "Plow me with your holy rod again." "Um, please?" She used her pitiful dog eyes technique at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and returned, "Face down, ass up." Gabriel''s eyes brightened as she lowered her face on the bed and raised her bubbly ass. Huo Yuhao fingered her this time and shoved her with the monster''s cock without warning. "OOHH~! T-This is better than before~!" She squealed in happiness. Huo Yuhao grabbed Gabriel''s waist and fucked her back and forth, rubbing her pussy''s g-spots. He pped her ass instinctively and made her moan. "Ahhn~! Yes, punish me too, Daddy~!" "Punish this sinful archangel." "I''ve sinned by masturbating and imagining you punishing me like this! To think it would be true today, Oooh, AAHN~!" PA! PA! PA! The pping noises echoed for an hour, and Gabriel tried her best to savor everything. She cummed several times, but Huo Yuhao didn''t show any exhaustion. He had be a god. They changed position to 69, and the archangel was amazed by its efficiency. As Huo Yuhao finished her mouth, Gabriel orgasmed again. "DADDDDYYYYY~!!!" Huo Yuhao fucked Gabriel and Kuroka for an unknown amount of time. After the third round, he doesn''t give them time to rest and plows every hole without mercy for several hours. Thankfully, Huo Yuhao had bent space and time in this ce so that they could fuck in peace. "I''m Cumming, Gabriel, Kuroka!" "CUM ON US~!! They responded while lying on the bed. Huo Yuhao cummed and sprayed the thick semen all over their bodies, painting the archangel and Nekoshou in white. He watched this sight with a satisfied smile and said, "I''d not regret liking you two." "Gabriel, you''re amazing." "Kuroka, I''d cherish you." "Let''s be a big family from now on." Gabriel and Kuroka couldn''t speak because of exhaustion, but they nodded in agreement. "Mm~!!" Chapter 195: Neglected? Chapter 195: Neglected? I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 192 --- After doing the deeds with Gabriel and Kuroka, Huo Yuhao sat on the floor and sighed in relief. He smiled because both women were gorgeous and had lovable personalities. They are willing to wait for him, unknown whether he''d be back or not. Huo Yuhao shook his head and snapped his finger, making afortable nket for them. It was one of Huo Yuhao''s newest powers from the Ancient Godlight Devil''s power to manipte extreme matter, allowing him to create something out of nothing with near-no cost. No wonder Titania and Raki(Nox Emperor) are the strongest in the Everlith Universe. One is born with limitless power to create something, while the other can devour everything into an endless ink void. Well, the Ancient Godlight Devil''s power is not invincible either. Huo Yuhao couldn''t create aplex thing immediately, definitely not on the level where he could pop out a living star out of nowhere like the Nox Emperor, but he at least could do it step by step to manifest it. ''Hey, stop ignoring me!'' Tian Meng''s annoyed voice rang in Huo Yuhao''s head. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, ''Does something bother you, Sister Daydream? I haven''t done anything wrong, right?'' ''Then, stop fucking those chicks...'' Tian Mengmented. ''Oh, that? I can''t do it.'' Huo Yuhao answered casually. How could he reject Gabriel and Kuroka''s feelings for him? ''I knew it, you perverted motherfucker!'' ''But you''re also a pervert like me?'' ''S-Shut up!'' Huo Yuhao bantered with Tian Meng until Bing Di decided to seal the worm''s mouth with her ice. ''Stop being an idiot. And say your intention from the beginning, Tian Meng.'' The Ice Emperor sighed in annoyance. ''Sorry, Yuhao. This idiot is acting like a tsundere because she wanted to congratte you for reaching godhood.'' ''You don''t know how much it means to us, Spirit Beasts. Tian Meng and I have been listening to the myth about Spirit Beast reaching godhood, but we''ve witnessed humans attain it 10.000 years ago.'' ''Those humans are younger than us... And we were jealous of their achievement, reaching the sky that cannot get reached.'' Bing Di bitterly continued. ''Douluo Dalu Universe has a limitation, a petty boundary that positioned us at a disadvantage. We are like animals in chopping blocks waiting for Spirit Masters to kill and absorb our Spirit Ring...'' ''Even 400.000 years old Spirit Beasts like me have this fear before meeting you. However, my pride won''t allow it to show up.'' ''From the deepest part of my heart... Thank you, Yuhao.'' Huo Yuhao chuckled and returned, ''You''re wee.'' ''You too, Sister Daydream.'' Tian Meng huffed inside because she felt worthless about this. She was the one who proudly said Huo Yuhao would be a god with her n, but he reached it faster than she could ever help. It doesn''t even take more than two years since their first encounter. Of course, Huo Yuhao knew Tian Meng''s feelings. ''You''re underappreciating your value, Sister Daydream.'' ''Without your Spiritual Energy support, Teacher Eluxia won''t be able to sustain herself in my Spiritual Realm. You''re the one who bnced my Spiritual Core, considering many failed attempts I had in the past.'' ''You''re doing good enough to deserve this.'' Huo Yuhao reassured Tian Meng, knowing the pervert worm would react rashly. However, Tian Meng blushed in the Spiritual World. ''H-Hmph! Who said I''m underappreciating myself?'' Tian Meng swayed her head away. ''I know my role very well.'' Tian Meng fumed while breaking away from Bing Di''s ice seals. ''I-I''m just saying you should stop fucking those chicks and start fucking us as well...'' ''M-Maybe after you created living bodies for us.'' "..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. ''Sister, you...'' ''Are you perhaps jealous?'' ''What?! Can''t you me me?'' ''You''re the one who made us watch it. You didn''t even think about feelings!'' Huo Yuhao rubbed his temple in defeat because what Tian Meng said was true. He didn''t block their perception of the outside world, allowing them to see everything. Like literally, everything. Of course, Tian Meng and other adult contracted souls could choose not to watch. However, even a formerly god-like being, such as Eluxia the Cmity Necromancer, is tempted by Huo Yuhao''s sexual intercourse with his loved ones. They are also as close as or maybe closer than women like Grayfia and Kuroka. It''s understandable if it was Huo Yun''er, Qianye Ying''er, or Scathach. Yet, Huo Yuhao seems to ignore his contracted souls. Eluxia hasn''t uttered a single word since Huo Yuhao became a god. She''s quiet, unlike her usual self. ''Don''t be a dense harem protagonist now, Papa~!'' Helenamented from the Spiritual Realm. She puffed her cheeks and continued, ''Are you going to keep mama and aunties waiting for your advance? Bad Papa!'' ''Who are you calling AUNTIES!'' Tian Meng and Bing Di''s mouths twitched in disbelief. This little dragon needs to get punished. ''UWAA, STOP! You two are bullying me~!'' Helena curled like a ball and hid behind Eluxia. Tian Meng and Bing Di wanted to catch Helena, but Eluxia''s expression was grim. That her frowning face of her was enough to make their spine shiver in the cold well. Imagine making a creature with the "Ice Emperor." as her title feels cold. Huo Yuhao sighed and smiled wryly, closing his eyes to enter the Spiritual Realm. He appeared before his contracted souls and looked at Eluxia''s scowling face. The cmity necromancer isn''t mad. She is confused. After experiencing so many new memories, Eluxia is the happiest she could ever be. And still, something about watching Huo Yuhao spoil other women feels awfully hurt, as if she had experienced this in her life. She didn''t feel this way one year ago, but his disappearance and closeness with other females from Highschool DxD''s World recently caused a crack for bad memories. The feeling of being neglected. As Eluxia drowned in a weird yet painful piece of recollections, Huo Yuhao suddenly hugged her tightly and said, "I''m sorry." "I''m sorry for neglecting you and others." "Just like Raphael and Uriel said, I''m still inexperienced and failed to see the cause of my actions..." "I''m truly sorry..." His voice was "truthfully." filled with regrets. Eluxia opened her mouth and replied, "It''s not your fault." "Tian Meng and Bing Di are just frustrated." "I''m doing fine." "M-Mama, you..." Helena stared at Eluxia with a shocked look. Even Tian Meng and Bing Di couldn''t help but cover their mouths in surprise. Huo Yuhao looked at Eluxia worriedly, "I''m not just talking about Tian Meng and Bing Di, but you too. You, Eluxia." "Yuhao, Don''t worry... As you can see, I''m not jealous-!" "YOU''RE CRYING!" Huo Yuhao suddenly shook her. "YOU''RE CRYING RIGHT NOW, ELUXIA! AND IT''S BECAUSE OF ME!" "Eh?" Eluxia was stunned. Tears ran down Eluxia''s eyes, falling into the endless spiritual sea. "Why am I crying?" Huo Yuhao grabbed Eluxia''s hands and said firmly, "Let''s go." "Let''s go on a date. Right now." Chapter 196: Making Eluxia Happy Chapter 196: Making Eluxia Happy I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 193 --- Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and snapped his finger, creating another faux body for Eluxia. He doesn''t need to do this manually anymore because the Gigai''s blueprint is in his head, and "Extreme Matter Maniption." skip some of the processes. "Eluxia,e here." He said while patting Gigai''s head. It was the replica of Eluxia''s soul appearance. A tall yet calm-looking beauty with extraordinary facial features, she had silver-grayish long hair that fell down like a river, shining with dim golden light. Her body is hourss-like, curving perfectly from top to bottom. Eluxia followed Huo Yuhao''s order and entered the Gigai, opening her grayish-gold eyes. Those eyes seem to uncover the world and im everything before it in an unorthodox light. "This is better than before..." Eluxiamented calmly. Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "I created this Gigai for you. It was better than the one I made for Yae because the Gigai contained my "Fortune." and allowed you to gain a small portion of my luck." "It sounds ridiculous, but some of my luck is better than Yin-Yang blessing or other things this world has to offer." "Your luck, huh?" Eluxia clenched her hand gently, feeling the power surging from inside. She has never felt so alive before. If being a contracted soul of Huo Yuhao felt like floating in a serene cloud, then having a body while still connected to him felt like being above the cloud itself. It''s just perfect. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger again and put Eluxia in a beautiful white dress and ck stockings, draping over a wide yet thin coat over her creamy shoulders because they''d visit a cold ce soon. Well, it''s not like temperature could affect Eluxia''s new body. "About the date, are we going to visit somewhere extraordinary?" Eluxia asked curiously. "I don''t mind as long as we have a quiet time together." "Close your eyes." Huo Yuhao smiled at her. Eluxia shrugged and replied, "Sure..." Huo Yuhao used Spatial Authority to teleport them from heaven to a small ind near Greend. It''s a new piece ofnd created after Huo Yuhao ascended to his godhood, a quiet ce where they could enjoy their time to the fullest. Grabbing Eluxia''s hand gently, Huo Yuhao pulled her to the beach and said, "Open your eyes." Eluxia opened her eyes slowly and witnessed a deep blue ocean with white clouds and several chunks of white ice around it. Even though she couldn''t really get her hand on it, the scenery before her was beautiful and soothed her heart for some reason. The chill breeze brushed Eluxia''s rosy cheek, making everything calmer than usual. The sensation of something touching her physical body is incredible. Huo Yuhao ced a pic carpet on the beach, changing the topography slightly so the wave doesn''t touch them. "Eluxia,e here." He patted the carpet while grabbing a teapot. Eluxia sat on the carpet and leaned on Huo Yuhao''s right shoulder, making him smile weakly. "This is not bad." Shemented truthfully. "Warm drink will make it better." Huo Yuhao returned while putting a cup of warm tea in her hand. She epted it and smiled, "Thanks." Huo Yuhao has tea for himself and enjoys the scenery with Eluxia, having a casual yet open conversation with the cmity necromancer because they barely talk. He asked Eluxia to let out her frustration. Yes, every frustration she had about him. Eluxia opened her mouth and said, "I-I..." "I just remembered what happened in my past life..." Her lips quivered slightly. "When you were bing a god in the seventh heaven. As if a dam gate got opened, all my memories flooded my mind." "Those memories are painful to witness... My name is Yi Lai Ke Si. I''m the Scion of Light." "My belovedrades and fiance betrayed me for the sake of pettiness. They poisoned and framed me for treason." "I was furious... And fell into the dark path of necromancy." "After painstakinglybining my Light Magic and Undead Magic, I created Light Necromancy and drowned the world in chaos, killing and killing hundred thousand if not millions of lives mercilessly." "That world shall know my pain..." "Even though I was defeated and endured a curse that put my soul for a thousand years... I''d not forget those betrayals." "Then, I slept for an unknown period and lost a good portion of my divine spark. Inded on the Douluo Dalu''s Universe and met you, Yuhao..." "My memories are fuzzy, but I couldn''t be more grateful for the healing of my wound surely with your warmth." "However, I''m afraid... Deep inside, my instinct still told me everyone would betray me again. You and the world will turn their backs on me." "And you''re a god now. You''re more than capable enough to do that-!" Huo Yuhao released an intense golden light from his body as he sighed in disbelief. "Haa... So this is what you were worried about." He groaned while closing his eyes. "Who are you?" "Yi Lai Ke Si..." "I said who are you, teacher?" Huo Yuhao painfully asked. "You''re not Yi Lai Ke Si anymore." "You''re not the murderer you once knew." "You''re my stern and lovely teacher. I''ve given you a beautiful name to make you forget everything about your past life. Aren''t you the one who wanted new memories?" "I asked again... Who are you, teacher?" Realization kicked in as Eluxia''s eyes fluttered under Huo Yuhao''s warm gaze. Herplicated expression melted into a mellow one. "I''m Eluxia." "Do you think I''d betray you?" "No, you won''t." "Do you think everyone will betray you here?" "T-They could be..." "Then, trust them for my sake. If they Ever Dare to betray you, I''ll be the one who kills them first. Remember, Teacher. We love you." "You have Tian Meng and Bing Di. Your friends." "You have Helena, our daughter." "You have me! Your disciple and lover." "So, will you trust us?" "I will." Eluxia stared at Huo Yuhao''s calm blue eyes and clenched her hand, answering the question with conviction. "Good." Huo Yuhao smiled and kissed her lips. ... ... "Mm~!" Huo Yuhao and Eluxia kissed passionately on the beach. He snapped his finger and created four walls to surround them, dampening the area from any possible observation. He tiled the sandy beach and added afy bed slowly raised off the ground. "Yuhao..." Eluxia''s breathing is faster and heavier than before. Her cheeks are "literally." flushed with redness. Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Let me spoil you more, Eluxia." Pecking Eluxia''s forehead gently, Huo Yuhao massaged her body with Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art and stimted her sensitive part. He rubbed the back of her head and nipples, licking her sweet armpits sensually. "MMph~!" Eluxia couldn''t hold her moan. Even though Eluxia has watched Huo Yuhao doing it with several women, she doesn''t know he would be this good. No, she should have known this from how excited those women looked when doing the deed with him. Huo Yuhao''s touch is like warm sunlight, brushing against her skin yfully. It''s addicting. "I''ll start to be more serious now..." He suddenly said. "Eh?" Eluxia was surprised. Huo Yuhao''s finger moved below her stomach, reaching theher region. As he teased her pussy lips, Huo Yuhao slowly fingered the virgin hole of the Gigai''s body. Eluxia arched her back and moaned at the top of her lungs. "OOHA~!!" She was shocked. "AHHHN~!" "You''re so wet, teacher." Huo Yubaomented with a chuckle. Eluxia sensed Huo Yuhao''s finger rubbing against her inner wall for a few minutes and felt something building up. Her eyes widened open as a gush of pleasure squirted from her sex. Huo Yuhao kissed her lips again and added, "I''ll rece those bad memories with better ones." "It''s so good that you wouldn''t be able to remember those wretched pasts." He pulled down his pants and revealed his mighty cock, making Eluxia gulp nervously. She experienced orgasm after thousands of years and expected this cock to be crazy enough to break her mind. However, she was also thrilled to try it. "D-Do it..." Eluxia whispered huskily. "dly." Huo Yuhao gently shoved his dick inside, breaking Eluxia''s hymen. "AHHH~!" "T-This is too big~!" She squealed in awe and surprise as her pussy squished the dick tightly. Huo Yuhao grunted because Eluxia''s pussy was trapping his dick, not allowing him to move for a few seconds. However, as time passed, Eluxia''s pussy became moist and wetter. He moved his hips more and made Eluxia moan, trembling in pleasure. "Mmm~!" "MMm~!" "YUhao~!" Huo Yuhao sealed her mouth with his, ying with her exposed breast to increase this experience even more. He skillfully pounded her g-spots and reached her womb. "Owh!" "So good~!" "You''re pumping me with your love~!" "Love me more, Yuhao~!" "Paint me with your love~!" Eluxia locked her legs around Huo Yuhao''s back, forcing the dick to go deeper. Huo Yuhao hissed and said, "I''m cumming! Take all of my love, Eluxia~!!" "GIVE ME~!!" Eluxia smiled happily and hugged Huo Yuhao, feeling his warm semen fill her inside. "I-I love you." She exhaustedly said. "I love you too." Huo Yuhao caressed her face. "B-But I want more..." Eluxia felt somewhat shameful asking this question. "Everything for you, Eluxia." They fucked inside the small cabin for a few days or five minutes outside with Time Dtion Magic. He makes Eluxia satisfied enough to make her drool from happiness and contentment. After filling her up, Huo Yuhao let the Cmity Necromancery her head on hisp. "Have a good sleep, Eluxia." He patted her head gently. ''Who''s next?'' He asked internally. ''Me!'' Tian Meng and Bing Di answered immediately. They stared at each other for a moment and continued, ''Us! Do us at the same time~!'' Huo Yuhaoughed helplessly and returned, ''Very well.'' ''I''d not let you two rest...'' ''Oh, so hot~!'' Tian Meng licked her lips. ''Damn...'' Bing Di couldn''t contain her excitement. Chapter 197: The Satisfied Tian Meng and Bing Di, Surprising Changes! Chapter 197: The Satisfied Tian Meng and Bing Di, Surprising Changes! I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 194 --- Patting Eluxia''s head, Huo Yuhao created another room with his control over the matter. He shifted the ind with his Space Authority and fortified the barrier again. "Have a nice sleep, Eluxia." Huo Yuhao smiled while kissing her forehead. He stepped out of the bedroom and watched another room with a king-size bed manifest out of nothing. He smiled and entered the room, snapping his finger to create Gigai for Tian Meng and Bing Di. The first Gigai is a slender woman with long blonde hair, thin eyebrows, rosy lips, and gentle-looking facial features. She also has a nice pair of D-cup breasts and a bubble butt. And she is wearing an oversized white hoodie with a gold-blue mark like Skydream Ice Worm''s pattern. The second Gigai is a petitedy with green hair styled in a ponytail. She has cute yet fierce facial features with pale red lips. Her breast is around a C-cup, but that huggable waist makes herfy to hug. She wore a white-green gothic loli dress with a skirt around her creamy thighs and a crown made of green ice on top of her head. They are beautiful indeed. "Aahh, I can''t wait anymore!" A wisp of golden light escaped from Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Realm, entering the first Gigai. Tian Meng''s soul merged perfectly with the first Gigai as she opened her beautiful pale blue eyes. Those eyes are rich with Mental Energy and release a dim golden light. "Fuck, I''m so horny." She kissed Huo Yuhao immediately. Watching him fuck Eluxia is enough to make her enter a heated state like this. Bing Di bit her lips in the Spiritual Realm because Huo Yuhao''s muscles were perfect. After bing god, those fibers seem made out of endless divine energy. She couldn''t help but mumble, "I can finally touch them." Bing Di entered the 2nd Gigai and opened her gold-colored eyes. She pushed Tian Meng slightly and began to lick Huo Yuhao''s chest, worshipping his muscle. ''I really neglected them this badly, huh? Huo Yuhaoughed helplessly at this situation. Huo Yuhao grabbed Tian Meng''s shoulders and lifted her hoodie slightly, feeling up her perky breast. Tian Meng moaned heavily as electric shock spread over her physical body, turning her on even more. "Ooh, aahn~!" Huo Yuhao smiled and smacked her lips with his, sucking her tongue and ying around with it for a while. It was an intense kiss for a virgin who hadn''t gotten a serious French Kiss like this. He kissed her a week ago, but that''s more like a greetingpared to this. Huo Yuhao used Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art and pinched Tian Meng''s nipples, making the pleasure meter go up again. Her pale blue eyes widened in shock as her lower body shook like a wild horse. "Cute." Huo Yuhaomented while lowering his right hand to Tian Meng''sher region, feeling the dampness on her virgin pussy. He teased her pussylips and fingered the moist cunt skillfully, making translucent gush out. "OOWW~! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH~!!" Tian Meng screamed and had an orgasm for the first time. Unlike her imagination, the real thing is game-changing. It''spletely different than masturbating alone. Huo Yuhao''s touch is like addicting ambrosia, which makes Tian Meng feel like floating in a cloud. She squirted and wet the floor with her juice. "Yuhao! Why are you so perfect~?!" "These biceps~!" "These triceps~!" "These abs as well~!!!" "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao looked down and saw Bing Di caressing his muscle diligently, licking every crevice with her tiny pink tongue. "You like them that much?" Bing Di''s cheeks flushed because she could only watch all this time. And touching them now felt unreal as she was unsure about her feelings toward Huo Yuhao. He''s her contractor, after all. Huo Yuhao smirked inside andmented, "There is something more muscr down there, you know?" "D-Down there..." Bing Di noticed a tent on Huo Yuhao''s pants. She grabbed over the pants slowly and pulled them, revealing a long yet veiny monster standing proudly like an unholy sword. She swallowed nervously because the amount of muscle on this guy was incredible. It''s twitching, leaking a bit of precum. "C-Can I lick it?" "That''s the point of letting it out, no?" Huo Yuhao teased her. Bing Di pouted and licked Huo Yuhao''s dick slowly from the shaft. She felt the bump of his vein and ran her somewhat chill tongue to the tip, sucking his addicting precum. She shivered in surprise as the cum tasted surprisingly good. Bing Di put the big thing before her lips and began to suck it dutifully, bopping her head up and down. Huo Yuhao was impressed with her skills because Bing Di could fit 1/3 of his dick into that tight throat. At first, every woman gagged for a few seconds before they gotfortable with his dick. Bing Di stared at Huo Yuhao and gently lowered her head to sheath his dick. She suffocated a little bit and gave him a deep throat for a few minutes straight without stopping. Her mouth is tired. Her virgin pussy is "literally." drenched. "Hyaa~!" Bing Di suddenly released Huo Yuhao''s dick and squealed in pleasure. "Hehe~!" A pervertedugh came from behind. Tian Meng rested on the floor while licking Bing Di''s wet pussy and teasing her pinkbia yfully. Huo Yuhao forced Bing Di to focus on sucking on his dick as her lower half was pleasured by Tian Meng, making her experience a double amount of pleasure. Bing Di orgasmed hard once when Tian Meng licked her clean. And cum again a secondter when Huo Yuhao ejacted his semen down her throat. "I''m cumming." Huo Yuhao warned her. ''''AAAAAAHHHHn~!!" Bing Di''s eyes rolled as she got sent to a joyful paradise. Pulling his dick out, Huo Yuhao looked at Bing Di with a smile and noticed Tian Meng''s pale blue eyes had heart-shaped pupils. "Mm, so hot~!" She squirmed in delight. Huo Yuhao fetched Tian Meng and put her onto the bed, cing his dick on her lower entrance. "Eh? W-Wait, I''m not ready~!" "Yuhao-!" "Toote, Sister." Huo Yuhao grinned at Tian Meng, shoving his massive dick into her cunt. "OOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHH~!!!" Tian Meng moaned like crazy. She could feel something breaking down there but it was "immediately." washed by pleasure and pain. Of course, the pain didn''tst long because Huo Yuhao wanted her to feel good. Huo Yuhao moved his hips rhythmically and used Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art on Tian Meng, giving her maximum pleasure for the first time. "AAAHNN~!" "AAAHNN~!" "AAAHNN~!" Pa! Huo Yuhao''s dick plowed Tian Meng''s moist cunt rapidly, making her moan continuously. His balls are pping against her ass. Tian Meng felt an electric shock spreading from her pussy, feeling the monster probing her from the inside. She squirmed and groaned, pulling Huo Yuhao closer to her. She kissed him sloppily, forcing the young man to fuck her more. "Ooh~!" "AAAHN~!" "My pussy is breaking~!" "GOD DAMN~! YOU''RE SO BIG~!" "HOW CAN YOU BE SO BIG, YUHAO~!!" "I thought you were a monster, but no... You''re a goddamn CUNT DESTROYER~!!!" Huo Yuhao feltplicated when hearing the title. He gave Tian Meng a fierce look and turned her around, putting her in a doggy position. Huo Yuhao climbed onto the bed and pped Tian Meng''s cheeks, giving her ass a tight squish. "OOOHH!! I-I''M CUMMMMINNN~!!!" Tian Meng screamed at the top of her lungs. ''His thick cock is too powerful to be left alone...'' She dropped onto the bed with drool from her mouth, having a life-changing experience when fucked by this beast. Bing Di awakened from her nap, watching Huo Yuhao fucks Tian Meng like a beast. She covered her mouth and remembered what they were doing. "Yes, Muscle... Destroy her pussy, Yuhao~!" She looked at Tian Meng''s blissful look and rubbed her pussy instinctively, feeling another sensation build up. Huo Yuhao turned around andmented, "It''s your turn, Bing Di." "Be a good girl and lie down on Tian Meng''s back." "Y-Yesh~!" Bing Di responded excitedly. She jumped onto the bed with trails of ice andy down on Tian Meng''s back, making the blonde groan in joy. Huo Yuhao gave Bing Di a peck on the forehead and ced his glistening cock near her pussy. She looked down with expectation and never changed her focus. "Here we go." He slowly pushed his dick inside. Bing Di arched like a bow and watched her lower region bulging because the monster cock was entering her. "Mmm~!" "Y-Yuhao, you''re too big." Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Don''t worry. I make the Gigai to be flexible and stretchable." "It''s only painful at the beginning." "Trust me." "Okay..." Bing Di nodded adorably. "I-I want to be one with your muscles..." "F-Fuck my pussy with y-your cock!" "dly." Huo Yuhao moved his hips forward again. "Uugh, AAAAHN~!!" "MMM, It feels so good ~!!!" "Right?" Huo Yuhao grinned while pumping Bing Di''s tight pussy with his cock, giving her the experience of heaven. She couldn''t contain her moan and howl like an animal in heat every second. Her gold-colored eyes release a pink light when Huo Yuhao shoves that meaty monster into her. "Yuhao~!" "Yuhao~!!" "YUHAO~!!!" Huo Yuhao kissed Bing Di and made her stomach with the sheer size of his cock. Logically, no woman should be able to handle this monster, but with his power, everything is possible. He kept fucking Bing Di''s pussy for minutes, grinding her moist tight walls in frenzy heat. "Awhn~!" "MMN~!" "WHY ARE YOU SOO GOOOOOOOD~!!" "THE MUSCLE, I CAN FEEL YOUR MUSCLE SLAYING ME FROM THE INSIDE~!!!" "YUHAO, I''M ABOUT TO CUM!!!" "CUM, BING DI!" Huo Yuhao hissed while pistoning her strongly, grabbing her huggable waist. He pounded deeply for thest time and entered her womb, cumming hard inside. "I''M CUMMMMIIIIIIIIN~!!!" Bing Di rolled her eyes in delight, falling into brief enlightenment. She reached a realm beyond mortal pleasure. Huo Yuhao wiped his forehead and whispered, "That was amazing..." "Hmm??" Tian Meng crawled and sucked Huo Yuhao''s still erect cock, staring at him dearly. "Daddy, please~!" "Fuck me again." "Fuck my needy pussy~!" "I need it!" "Sure, I''ll give you all my attention for today." Huo Yuhao smiled and patted Tian Meng''s head. Snapping his finger, Huo Yuhao controlled the time within the room to one hour per secondpared to outside. He grabbed Tian Meng''s waist and ced her over his dick. "No rest until we are satisfied..." "Hell, yeah!" Tian Meng screamed in excitement. "FUCK MANIA~!!" ... ... Three weekster, Huo Yuhao sat on the bed as Tian Meng was lying on the side with her body covered and filled with cum. Her new body got pumped full, having all three holes pounded by Huo Yuhao. Tian Meng''s mouth, cunt, and ass won''t get satisfied until Huo Yuhao has sex with her. Meanwhile, Bing Di is bouncing on Huo Yuhao''s cock mindlessly. Her gold-colored eyes are white as if she is in a trance state. And just like Tian Meng. She''spletely naked, with her body covered with sweat and cum. Huo Yuhao didn''t give them rest for weeks and fucked both spirit beasts with care. They arepletely charmed by his cock and can''t live with it anymore. Heck, they might prioritize having sex with him more than bing gods. "I''m cummiiiiiiing..." Bing Di couldn''t speak properly and fell onto the bed, having Huo Yuhao''s dick stuck in her tight pussy. Huo Yuhao pulled his dick out and watched a gush of semen flowing like a fountain. [Ding!

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 195 --- Checking out his co-owned divinities, Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh because he only wanted to fix his problem. Yet he was rewarded with these surprises instead. It seems like Huo Yuhao''s "Fortune." affected a lot of things. Still, God of Lust? Even though Huo Yuhao has done hundred sexual acts with different women, acquiring divinity shouldn''t be this easy. He clicked into the God of Lust''s tabs and discovered the reason. Lust is a desire. Huo Yuhao''s desire to treat his woman better umted with longing in the Everlith Universe when he fought against billions of monsters, which carried to this world shortly after. That longing became stronger and broke free after Eluxia exposed her true feelings to him. Not to mention his version of lust only worked with the opposite gender. Huo Yuhao''s Lust Divinity is a power to elerate a woman''s potential growth. And the trigger of that exact power is simple. Yes, Sex. Knowing his lifestyle, Huo Yuhao would definitely use this power daily with his loved ones. And Huo Yuhao is happy his lovers could be stronger by doing Dual Cultivation with him. The "Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Arts." starts to beckluster for some reason now. Still, it doesn''t mean that this Dual Cultivation Art is useless. In this way, this technique aided Huo Yuhao in conquering women on the bed. Weirdly, the God of Lust''s Divinity doesn''t corrte to any of Huo Yuhao''s Martial Souls. "Evo, open my status." [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 18] [Race: Primordial Human(Primitive God)] [Sub-Races: Divine Dragon(+), War Beast(+), True Daemon(+), Genesis Seraph(+), True Kroman(+)] [God Seats: God of Fortune, Dragon God of Destruction, God of Lust] [ss: Dawn Bringer, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Silver Ranger, Techno Master, Pagma''s Incarnation] [Cultivation Realm: Level 145/Half-Step Godking Realm] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Dragon Emperor(10+), True Ancestor Eyes of the Lords(2+), Chains of Heaven(10+), Divine Throne of Beginning and End(5+)] [Contracted Souls: Tian Meng, Bing Di, Eluxia, Helena, Titania(Innate Spirit)] [Profession Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice, Uriel] [Extra Passive Skill: High Roll(SSS), Supreme King''s Presence, Lesser Divine Sense, Voice of All Things, True Lord of Dragons, Limit Breaker, Boundless Emperor, Heavenly Poison Body] [Concepts: Destruction(10), Nullification(4), Tear(11), Stars(7), Dark Light(2), Concept of Small Plundering(9] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist(SS), Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Weapon Mastery, White Room''s Martial Art Mastery, Gentle Love Tap(S), Water Stream World Smashing Fist(SSS)] [Cultivation Art: Universal Breathing Technique, Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, Endless Primordial Sea Art] [Azure Emperor''s Vault: Eas(103), Frost(SS), Great Apostle Creation(SSS), White Ogre Mask(S), Yeoui(SSS+), Sky Poison Pearl(Ex), rk Kent''s sses(SS), Ste(SSS+) Guardian Shield(SS+), Leviathan Axe(SS+), Switch Axe(SSS), Ex-Caliburn(SSS), The Darkest Star''s Halberd: Dosa(Ex), Fairy King''s Canvas(Ex), Grand Duchess Ink Devil''s Quill(SS/Damaged), Onyx Brush(EX+), RM-Cube, Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(29), Gold(17), ck Gold(5), tinum(4)] Huo Yuhao skimmed through his status and focused more on the divinity parts, feeling the ethereal sensation on every fiber of his body. He nodded and clenched his hand gently, gathering the immortal qi in his body into a bundle of strings. The strings rotated around his heart and reced the rotating sun rapidly, forming a brighter core. [Spirit Energy Core upgraded to "Immortal Qi Core."] [The current Immortal Qi''s recovery rate is 12% per second] Huo Yuhao didn''t stop there and bound his Spiritual Core to a higher stage with his newfound power, manipting the massive tree with golden leaves. [Spiritual Core upgraded to "Quantum Mental God Tree."] [The current Divine''s Spirituality recovery rate is 11% per second] Andstly, Huo Yuhao focused on his Blood Core. Theplex spiral helix contained all sorts of Bloodlines from creatures all over the Universes. Even though Huo Yuhao''s Physique has been experiencing a massive change after bing god, he still felt the same inside-out. Manipting the Complex Spiral Helix, which is "indirectly." tied to his Universe Cells, Huo Yuhao gently increased the amount of Blood Energy to the maximum. Huo Yuhao witnessed the Inner Universe within his Cell bing robust and experiencing a "Great explosion.", allowing all the bloodlines to coexist in harmony. There is a sign of life there, but Huo Yuhao decided to check thatter. [Blood Core upgraded to "Spiral Blood Codes."] [The current Blood Energy''s recovery rate is 99% per second] [Ding! You have gained "True Immortal."] [Trait "My Will is Eternal." reached its actual form] ["My Will is Eternal." will be hidden until great danger happen] Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "One of my trump cards." pping his hand, Huo Yuhao let Eluxia, Tian Meng, and Bing Di rest after the intense Dual Cultivation. They deserved it. Both rooms suddenly warped in size and entered Huo Yuhao''s Divine Consciousness. Huo Yuhao converted the matter with Divine Spirituality, allowing his contracted souls to enter and exit his Divine Consciousness. They are connected to him permanently now, so this kind of freedom wasn''t a problem for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao returned to Heaven and saw Arcangels lining before his eyes, except Gabriel. That daddy-loving Archangel is still recovering after their Dual Cultivation Session. Alongside Kuroka, they are hibernating due to the sudden evolution. "We greet the new father, divine spirit, and our leader." Michaels and his brother kneeled on the white floor. "Huo Yuhao-sama!" Huo Yuhao dismissed the greeting and replied, "Get up." "You don''t have to use excessive honorifics like that." "You can call me Yuhao-dono like usual, Michael." "You too, Raphael, Uriel." "Your wish is ourmand, Yuhao-dono." They responded immediately. Huo Yuhao wasn''t used to their bright gazes because Raphael and Uriel used to dislike him a few hours ago. Shaking his head, Huo Yuhao brushed this weirdness and said, "Prepare all the angels in Heaven." "I''ve sent a direct invitation to all Gods in this world, whether those people are good or not, to attend the Record of Ragnarok." "Pardon?" Michael tilted his head in confusion. Huo Yuhao smirked and exined, "Record of Ragnarok is a chance for Gods from this world to stop me." "They can choose to fight or surrender, but as the name suggests. It will be a one-sided war between Dragon Nest and them." "..." Michael. "..." Raphael. "..." Uriel. Huo Yuhao attained his godhood a few moments ago. And he already dered war against other gods. The god they now served is indeed extraordinary. Even though Michael and his brothers want to say Huo Yuhao is too hasty in his decision, the wisdom of a god is beyond them. There must be a reason why Huo Yuhao decided to execute such a drastic move. Huo Yuhao blinked once and mumbled, "Ny-three percent..." "This is passable." "Michael, Raphael, Uriel, show me your Martial Souls." Michael quickly summoned a normal-looking long sword made of iron. The spine of Michael''s sword is unique because the Holy Element is so strong within it. Unlike Gabriel''s, Michael''s Martial Soul doesn''t show its true worth until getting 2nd awaken. As for Raphael and Uriel, they haven''t awakened their martial souls yet, which is understandable. They don''t believe in Huo Yuhao until he ascends his godhood. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and triggered the awakening within Raphael and Uriel, allowing them to pull swords out of nothing. Raphael''s sword is one-ded and covered in vines and leaves. Meanwhile, Uriel''s sword is like a scimitar with a yellow me. "Good, The three of you will be Heaven''s Vanguard." "Train well. I''ll send someone to check on you guys soon." Huo Yuhao disappeared from their vision. "Ah... And don''t worry too much about the Record of Ragnarok. You three aren''t ready for it." His calm voice echoed in Sixth Heaven, leaving Michael and his brothers speechless. "Thanks for the gift, Yuhao-dono." Michael smiled weakly, feeling the sword in his hand change slightly. "Thank you, Yuhao-dono." Raphael and Urial bowed to thin air. ... ... Huo Yuhao floated above the atmosphere and looked down at the Draconic Deus(Earth). "This ce will get destroyed when my great enemy arrives." "Countermeasures are needed." "Then, what about using the dimensional gap''s power?" A voice suddenly appeared from behind. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a red-haired woman in a white dress. She''s beautiful with long yet silky red hair, slitted-gold draconic eyes, a well-endowed body, and a dreamy aura. Something about this woman is soothing. "We finally met, Huo Yuhao." "I am-!" "Great Red." Huo Yuhaomented calmly. "Ah..." "You know already?" The woman let out a loose smile. Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "The only being who could sneak up on me in this world is probably you." "Not because I couldn''t read the future, but because of your ability to hide from Divination." Great Redughed cheerfully and returned, "Haha, I see." "As expected from the Otherworlder. All of you are monsters." "Anyway, Yeshua has told you about the enemy, right?" "Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded casually. "And I''m here to ce a protection." Chapter 199: Placing Barriers Chapter 199: cing Barriers I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 196 --- "Protection??" Great Red curiously stared at Huo Yuhao. "I know you possess several bizarre abilities, but sealing the 5th Dimension is impossible unless you are..." "No way, you attained Divinity already?" When Huo Yuhao first emerged in the Great War, Great Red had never felt so threatened by his otherworldly strength and abilities. She witnessed countless bizarre things with her "Dream." power. Even then, Huo Yuhao didn''t pose any danger or hostility toward her. He disappeared and appeared yearster, iming his desire to conquer this world. He sessfully brought the three factions under his hand but vanished again awkwardly after conquering the Realm of the Dead. Now meeting him personally for the first time, Great Red couldn''t sense the depth of Huo Yuhao''s power. He seems limitless and shallow simultaneously, having no presence of a lower being. In the past, Great Red sensed immense draconic pressure from Huo Yuhao''s body, but now that pressure seems gone. Yes, something about him is weird. Huo Yuhao smiled and didn''t exin much, "Well, I leave it to your imagination." "Though, I promise to help Ophis... So, no personal feelings if that airhead yet adorable dragon suddenly popped out of nowhere and beat you up." "What?" Great Red was stunned. Why did Huo Yuhao suddenly bring up Ophis into the conversation? Ophis to Great Red is like a sister. Even though Great Red kicked Ophis out of the Dimensional Gap in the past, it meant for her and this world''s safety. The Dimensional Gap is a dangerous bridge between this world and the outer universe, which holds tremendous danger. She couldn''t let Ophis roam so freely, or else the Ouroboros Dragon would get sucked into the void. Not many people know this, but since the beginning of time, powerful beings like Great Red, Ophis, and Trihexa were "purposely." birthed into this world for a reason. Great Red is a literal manifestation of dreams so that living beings can dream. Ophis is a literal manifestation of infinity so that living beings canst and improve indefinitely. And Trihexa is a literal manifestation of destruction so that living beings can end themselves. Everything that starts needs to End. There are more powerful beings like them, but they perished before reaching their peak. Huo Yuhao smirked because Great Red''s thoughts were stered all over her face. "You''re looking down on people from my world too much, Great Red." "I know some of Dragon Nest''s members will have a difficult time against you, but our top echelon could wipe this world faster if I ordered them to." "Well, it''s understandable for a being like you." Compared to Yeshua(Biblical God), Indra, or any other gods in the Highschool DxD world, Great Red is ten if not a hundred times stronger than them. That''s because of her origin as Dream Manifestation. "Open your eyes wide, Great Red." Huo Yuhao pulled Fairy King''s Canvas and Onyx Brush from his inventory, staring at the Draconic Deus(Earth) with a possessive smile. "This is the power that protected Dragon Nest." Huo Yuhao opened the scroll in his right hand, revealing a golden page with a mystical blue hue. His finger dripped with ck-colored blood and moistened the white brush''s tip. Great Red could feel an unimaginable powering from the scroll and brush, frowning because such a power can even shape a world. There is something profound and mysterious about Huo Yuhao''s ck blood too. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and skimmed the scroll with his brush, making Great Red''s eyes widen in shock. "Wait, what?!" Before Great Red''s eyes, a ck line appeared in the atmosphere of Draconic Deus(Earth) and covered the sky with its darkness. The line moved and formed a drawing of a mountain and sky, intertwining the slowly. Huo Yuhao nced at the moon and sun, maintaining the orbital order so the Draconic Deus won''t fall if he added more reinforcement. "Moon Drawn By Clouds." Huo Yuhao whispered as if it were magical words, triggering a drastic change in his power manifestation. "Sun Lock to the Earth." "Sun and Moon, Spatial Lock." Huo Yuhao ended his first drawing and saw the Draconic Deus protected from any 2nd ss God''s existence. However, it was far from enough to keep it safe. The iing "Great Enemy." is a challenge for Huo Yuhao to join the order. ording to Yeshua(Biblical God), that exact enemy will possess immense power rivaling him. Huo Yuhao didn''t want to take any chances and started drawing again, creatingyer uponyer of dimensional barriers. After an hour or so, Huo Yuhao breathed in and saw several Primordial Ink Sealings he had ced onto this world. On the other hand, Great Red was speechless because Huo Yuhao spammed his godly sealing abilities like no tomorrow. Even though she was the strongest in this world, except for Trihexa, she felt these seals would restrict her movement. "Great Red, try to enter the Dimensional Gap." Huo Yuhaomented calmly. Great Red awkwardly nodded and tried to pierce spatial fabrics with her ws, feeling their toughness of it. She could do this way easier an hour ago. Easier than breathing. However, She failed. "..." Great Red. "What have you done?" Huo Yuhao shrugged and answered casually, "I impose my will toward this world." "Locking Space, Time, and Realms with my Primordial Ink." "Anyone below my level. Wouldn''t be able to enter and escape." "Of course, if you have my permission, nothing is impossible." Huo Yuhao flicked his brush, sending a drop of his Primordial Ink to Great Red. Great Red caught the ink and felt the resistance in space fabrics disappear. "Ridiculous..." She couldn''t help but mutter in disbelief. Huo Yuhaoughed and said, "Nothing is ridiculous if you experience what I went through when I disappeared for a while." "Also, you should try to rx more..." "Are you reading my mind?" The Great Red frowned solemnly. "No, not really." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile. "As I attained my godhood, I could feel every emotion in this world. You, in particr, are bored and anxious about something." "Guarding the Dimensional Gap must be hard, huh?" "I see..." Great Red fell into aplex thought. How long has it been since she roams and protects the Dimensional Gap? The incredibly lonely and quiet area where only she couldst and live for eternity. "Thanks." It''s just one word, but Huo Yuhao knows Great Red is grateful. "You''re wee." Huo Yuhao yawned while putting the Fairy King''s Canvas and Onyx Brush back into the inventory. "Do you have an appointment, Great Red?" The True Red Dragon God Emperor shook her head and answered, "I wanted to return to the Dimensional Gap formerly, but knowing your seals will protect this world and its realm, my job lessened a lot." "Maybe visiting the Human World isn''t so bad." Huo Yuhao extended his hand and offered, "Then what about lunch at my home?" "I bet you''ve never eaten anything good for years. Well, I doubt you even need food to sustain yourself." "As long as there is "Dream." in this world. I''ll continue to exist." Great Red nodded with a smile. "A lunch, eh? Sure, let''s see how good the food is in your home, Huo Yuhao." Great Red grabbed Huo Yuhao''s hand, feeling the warmness of his skin. "Follow me. You''d not be disappointed." Huo Yuhao grinned slightly. Chapter 200: Yaes Plan on Rose Chapter 200: Yae''s n on Rose I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 197 --- Huo Yuhao and Great Red used the Dimensional Gap to traverse back to the Underworld. Even though he could easily use Spatial Authority, taking this route allowed Huo Yuhao to realize how important this ce was for Highschool DxD''s stability. Not many people or entities know about this because the Great Red proimed Dimensional Gap as her territory. The only exception is the Biblical God(Yeshua), who exhausted his divine power to foresee the future. Years in the future led to Biblical God''s early death, but he sessfully sealed Trihexa and warned the Great Red. It was unfortunate as the Biblical God doesn''t have much of a choice. It either dies early or perishes, not knowing the danger thates to this world''s face. From the current situation, the Biblical God obviously chose the former. Great Red told Huo Yuhao that outsiders have loomed behind the Dimensional Gap since his arrival to Draconic Deus as if they were waiting for the fruit to ripen. But what''s ripe enough to gain the outsider''s interest? "What, so you''re telling me the absence of your influence for slightly over a year is due to an unknown trial?" Great Red was speechless. Huo Yuhaoughed and answered, "Pretty much." "It was an absolute train wreck because I couldn''t use my full power, but I learned a lot from it." "For example..." Huo Yuhao summoned a drop of Primordial Ink from his index finger, transforming it into a ck pole. Ripple appeared on the end of the ck pole, swirling into an ominous sharp storm. Huo Yuhao tossed the pole nearby and caused a massive explosion that covered roughly a one-kilometer cubic area, leaving Great Red speechless. That attack was enough to kill some gods in this world. ''Just how much power he gained when finishing that trial?'' Great Red stared at Huo Yuhao''s back solemnly. As the Dream''s manifestation, Great Red could tell that a small drop of ink was far from exhausting Huo Yuhao. Not to mention how casually he maniptes matter through this bizarre ripple method. "Just like that." Huo Yuhao smiled at Great Red. "I believe you can replicate it with your power." Great Red chuckled weakly andmented, "It would be a cheap copy." "Dream is versatile because I can shape everything one could dream off, but something already existing is quite hard to manipte." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and returned, "A cheap copy is better than nothing. Unlike any other beings in Draconic Deus, you and Ophis were born strong." "Ophis trained under my teacher, so her power grew even more in just a year." "You have potential, Great Red." After hearing that, Great Red bes silent for a moment. She opened her mouth and said, "Rose." "Rose?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head while creating a tear in the Dimensional Gap. "My chosen name." Great Red nodded calmly. "Calling me Great Red every time will be awkward if we decide to be partners from now on." "Oh!" Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. His divine blue eyes shone in surprise. "Well, let''s do our best to protect this world, Rose." "Mm." ... ... Underworld, Dragon Nest''s Floating Ind. While Huo Yuhao imed the throne of heaven, Huo Yun''er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er entered seclusion. They have decided to condense their divinity under Yae''s instruction, reaching the realm of a deity based on the Great Divine Fox''s belief. At the separated mirror dimension, three of Yae''s clones were "skillfully." created from her mastery over illusion art, which she assigned to observe three beautiful women anddies. Even though they are clones, they are far from being emotionless. After all, Yae''s clone is "inherently." connected through the hivemind. Yae nced at the meditating Huo Yun''er andmented, "She is doing just fine." "I thought Yun''er would face hardship because condensing her divinities too early, but as expected of the woman who birthed the Brightest Lucky Star." "Divinity of Luck, Illusion, Fire, and finally Truth." "She''s going to be one hell of a deity." Yae proudly nodded her head. "As for Scathach and Qianye Ying''er, they aren''t bad either." Looking at the other Mirror Dimension, Yae saw Scathach meditating with two spears floating above herp. The God yer released a dim crimson and gold aura, covering her body with a blood-like substance. "I believed Scathach to be a muscle-head, but she sure surprised me with Divinity of Blood, ughter, War, and Magic. Mastering those Primordial Runes requires talent as well, I assume." Yae rubbed her chin in fascination. "What a fine woman. I wonder where Huo Yuhao pulls her from. That world should be quite dangerouspared to this unrefined world." Yae said so because Primordial Rune''s existence alone is more powerful than most gods in the Draconic Deus. And now imagine what kind of entity created the Primordial Rune in Scathach''s former world. She couldn''t help but be somewhat curious about it. Even on her deathbed, Yae knew about the outer universe''s existence. There is no way her world is the only world in this vast spacescape of Star Rails. There must be more. "Still, to think the Brahma Goddess also reincarnated to this world. She must have used all her inborn power and be nothing but a teenager in this current state." "Fate sure gives her a leeway to be close with Huo Yuhao." Yae smiled in amusement. "At this pace, she''ll soon recover her strength and be even stronger again." "I don''t know about her past life''s memory, though. She might keep it or forget about it. Weirdly, Qianye Ying''er hasn''t shown any Light of Creation so far." Yae moved her gaze to the beautiful youngdy in a mirror dimension. She sat down motionlessly and gave off the feeling of extreme temperament, making the atmosphere zing in golden brilliance. Qianye Ying''er face is enough to make men drool over her, and for years that beauty kept growing into untouched territory, except for one person. "Dragon, Devotion, Desire, Destruction and not surprisingly Creation." Yae chuckled, shaking her head because of how ridiculously talented Qianye Ying''er is. In her former world, Yae believed someone needs at least 10.000 years to start deitification. And that was just a simple starting point, not the whole process for one divinity. Qianye Ying''er condensed five at the same time. "The sunshine is warm." Yae returned to her body and yawned,zily lying on a couch with a smile. Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared with Rose and said, "How are you, Yae?" "Where is everyone? Ah, never mind. They are condensing their divinities." Yae nodded and responded, "So, who is this fellow?" "Since I be one with this new body, I couldn''t ess all of my ability, so my future vision is kind fucked." "Oh, her? She''s the Great Red." Huo Yuhao answered casually. "And her name is Rose." The Great Red giggled and introduced herself, "Nice to meet you. I''m Rose. Most people know me as the Great Red." "Eh?" Yae was speechless. What''s Great Red? Great Red is the Dragon of Dragons, the Apocalypse Dragon, or the True Red Dragon God Emperor. She is the most powerful existence in this world, which Yae could see why at just first nce. ''Dream, huh? That''s pretty neat and mixed well with my illusion. We can be good friends.'' Yae nned something in her mind. Teaching this fellow about DA Culture doesn''t sound horrible. "Hehe..." "Hehehe~!" Yaeughed mischievously. "Wee to the Dragon Nest, Rose." "Thank you." Rose returned calmly, not knowing the rabbit hole she''d fall into. Huo Yuhao rolled his sleeve andmented, "Well, it''s close to lunchtime." "They should be done in an hour or so." "I''ll cook something." "Sit down, Rose. I''d keep my promise and serve some nice food." He walked to the kitchen. Rose sat down on the couch and was "slowly." approached by Yae. ''Have you heard about the Light Novel?'' Yae whispered into Rose''s ears. "Um, no?" Yae grinned inside and continued, ''Do you want to check my collections?'' ''Don''t worry. We can start things slowly~!'' "O-Okay," Rose responded awkwardly. It''s been a while since Rose touched upon the world''s culture, so she does not know much. However, starting now will be okay, right? "Let''s be a good friend, Rose~!" Yae hugged Rose''s left arm. "Mm." Chapter 201: Clearing the Misunderstanding Chapter 201: Clearing the Misunderstanding I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 198 --- An hour and a halfter. Huo Yuhao rxed on the couch with Yae and Rose, enjoying a decent cup of coffee. After bing a god, he hasn''t familiarized himself with divine abilities and learned things slowly. Well, it shouldn''t take long. After all, Huo Yuhao possessed the Genesis and the End. Huo Yuhao also served the lunch foods at the dinner table, but they waited for Huo Yun''er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er to finish condensing their divinities first. Yawn~! A pleasant yawn entered the living room, revealing Scathach in casual yoga pants and Huo Yuhao''s loose t-shirt. It seems Shishou missed her student. "Good evening, Shishou." Huo Yuhao greeted her with a smile. "Eh, Yuhao? You returned already." Scathach was surprised, fixing her hair quickly. She tied her long purple hair in a ponytail, which caused Huo Yuhao and the otherdies to chuckle. Huo Yuhao shook his head amusingly andmented, "It''s fine, Shishou." "Even if you were half-asleep, you''re still beautiful as always." "Woah, so smooth." Yae couldn''t help but roll her eyes. Even though she had observed Huo Yuhao for years, she realized he was more of a womanizer after returning from his trial. Scathach blushed a little because Huo Yuhao''spliments always sent butterflies to her stomach. She sat down beside Huo Yuhao, leaning on his shoulder. ''He became stronger again.'' She thought while feeling the intensity of Huo Yuhao''s Divine Power. Unlike Scathach''s ughter-focused quality, Huo Yuhao''s divinity focused more on his inherent quality. Now that she could see a more abstract thing like luck, Huo Yuhao appeared to be the literal incarnation of fortune itself. ''Ridiculous.'' Scathach couldn''t help but smile. Huo Yun''er returned shortly after, smiling at everyone(especially Huo Yuhao) in the living room. Something about her changed drastically, but one needs Divine Sense to see/feel it. Scathach blinked her red eyes and stared at the intense blue aura around Huo Yun''er body. The blue hue resembled fire and illusion, giving off unreal sensations. As if Huo Yun''er could shape everything around her into a fiery illusion, leaving nothing behind. "You''re bing a half-step Godking." Huo Yun''er leaned on the couch and kissed Huo Yuhao''s cheek. "As expected of my beloved son, Hao''er." "Hmm?" Everyone in the room was stunned as a youngdy with silky gold hair appeared out of thin air. Her looks make Scathach and Huo Yun''er speechless. If Huo Yun''er is your gorgeous milf-type of woman. And Scathach is your stern teacher-type of woman. Then thisdy is clearly a young, pure goddess that has descended to the mortal world. It has nothing to do with looks because all three possess unparalleled beauty, but the atmosphere around them. And not to mention the small golden flower mark on Qianye Ying''er forehead. "What?" Qianye Ying''er tilted her head in confusion. "Why are you guys staring at me like that?" Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Nothing." "Congrattions on bing the youngest god in the Dragon Nest, Ying''er." He praised her, boosting the youngdy''s self-esteem. "Hehe~!" Qianye Ying''erughed proudly. Huo Yuhao smiled and added, "Let''s have lunch while I exin a few things about the next n." "Oh, also... This woman is the Great Red." "Her name is Rose. Get along with her, okay." The three women stared at Rose, giving her a questioning gaze for a second because Huo Yuhao brought another one home. The name Great Red clicked something in their mind as Qianye Ying''er covered her mouth. "Oh~!" Qianye Ying''er nned something in her head. She gave Yae a wink, which made the yful fox giggle. Meanwhile, the Great Red looked at the three women with a terrified look because their strengths were around the same baselines as Huo Yuhao. Just one person was enough to create an imbnce in this world, and now there are three more. ''Those gods are fucked up.'' Rose thought while smiling bitterly. Lunchtime urred shortly after, and everyone had a great time around the dining table. Of course, the main character of the conversation is Huo Yuhao, as he ascended to Godhood first. Rose listened to the conversation and felt her knowledge expanding more than usual. When Huo Yun''er mentioned her homeworld, Rose''s ears perked up because the outside universe was unknown. She knew another world existed through a long period of living in the Dimensional Gap, but trying to bypass it would destroy Draconic Deus. As its protector, doing so is egocentric and against her inborn duty. "Yuhao~! I''m back." A small and sweet voice filled the room. Rose''s eyes widened in surprise as a little girl in an elementary school outfit entered the room. She was chewing her food as Ophis stood in the hallway, staring at her with a frown. "Baka Red..." Ophis''s tone grew colder. Her power exploded under the roof, overflowing the living and dining room with a purple sh. BOOM! "This power..." Rose was taken aback. Ophis has grown more powerful than the limit ced upon her vessel. Infinite doesn''t mean one''s strength is Limitless. That''s why Draconic Deus ced a limit upon Ophis''s vessel, making her strength tied to the world''s standard. However, in just one year and a half, Ophis''s strength evolved under Dragon Nest, particrly Huo Yuhao and Scathach''s teaching. Pulling out a white rock staff from her spatial bag, Ophis struck Rose with it. nk! Rose hardened her hand into a w-like state and blocked Ophis''s attack, causing another explosion with crimson and purple energy. "God-Killing..." Ophis released more pressure from her body. "Dream w," Rose responded with her dream power. nks! Huo Yuhao sighed weakly andmented, "Stop." Both dragons'' attacks were "casually." stopped by Huo Yuhao''s chopsticks. "..." Rose. "..." Ophis. The Ouroboros Dragon pouted and questioned, "Yuhao, why is Baka Red here? Do you want to disown me now...?" "I won''t disown you. Ophis will be on my side forever." Huo Yuhao responded while cing down his chopsticks. "This is a misunderstanding." "I''m sure you have felt it, right? I have ascended and be a god." "Mm, your scent has be more golden(divine) now." Ophis nodded her little head. Even though Ophis''s response is umon, everyone understands what she means. After all, Huo Yuhao is basking in literal gold if they use their spiritual sense. Huo Yuhao chuckled andmented, "After bing a god, I sealed the space and time around the Draconic Deus. That includes the Dimensional Gap(Void), where Great Red(Rose) lived as protector." "She doesn''t steal your home, Ophis." "She protects it and doesn''t want you to get injured." "That''s a lie..." Ophis stayed firm in her stance. Rose sighed inside because her reprimanding a thousand years ago did sound too harsh for Ophis. Ophis hugged Huo Yuhao and dered, "Baka Red should go away. You took my home before. I''m not sharing this home with you now..." "Yuhao is mine." "All the candies are mine~!" "Uugh, so precious..." Yae held her chess. "Who left this adorable child here?" "Noment," Scathach admitted Ophis is adorable, but calling her a child stretched it too much. Rose stared at Huo Yuhao and Ophis silently and said, "I''m not going to live here, Ophis." "My duty is still protecting the Dimensional Gap." "I''m here because Yuhao invited me for lunch." "R-Really?" Ophis changed her gaze from Rose to Huo Yuhao. She sounds so betrayed when hearing Rose''s statements. Huo Yuhao patted Ophis and asked, "Ophis, do you hate Rose?" "Yes..." Ophis answered quietly. "And why so?" "Baka Red stole my home..." She fumbled with her fingers. "But you have a new one, no? You can hate her for doing so, but you know the truth already." Huo Yuhao gently rubbed her cheeks. "What about this? I''ll give you a new vored candy soon, but you had to let Rose slide this time. I''m not saying you can spare Rose up, as you can visit her in the Dimensional Gap anytime now to talk." "Try to understand why she forces you out of the Dimensional Gap." "And remember this. I will not leave you behind." "...Okay," Ophis answered understandingly. "I''ll let Baka Red go this time." "Next time, I''ll go to the Dimensional Gap and beat her up as Purple Demon did to me..." "..." Rose''s mouth twitched in disbelief. "Purple Demon..." Scathach blinked her eyes. "You little-." Ophis hid behind Huo Yuhao and added, "Yuhao is here now. You can''t drag me into the mirror world." "Bleee, You bully, lose this time." Ophis''s little tongue sticks out. "Hahaha~!" Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er couldn''t hold theirughter. Imagine calling the God yer Scathach, a Purple Demon, and Bully so confidently? Even Yae found this scene amusing. As Ophis joined the lunch, Huo Yuhao finished his share and suddenlymented, "Oh yeah, I dered war against all God Pantheons in this world." "Nice." Scathachughed excitedly. "That''s why Dragon Nest will go all out soon. Call every conquering member tomorrow." Huo Yuhao continued, making Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er nod their heads. Chapter 202: Preparation for the Record of Ragnar?k Chapter 202: Preparation for the Record of Ragnar?k I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 199 --- The world of the supernatural is in chaos right now. The Blue-Eyed Dragon God has finally returned and imed the throne of heaven, bing the new god. His ascends changed every part of the world, making other god pantheons feel threatened. It would have been fine if Huo Yuhao minded his own business. However, his intention is always clear from the beginning. Huo Yuhao wanted to conquer this world, so he didn''t take no for an answer. After ascending godhood, Huo Yuhao immediately challenged every god''s pantheon, weak or not, into an event called the Record of Ragnarok. It wasn''t a polite invitation either, as everyone who heard his voice could sense his demeaning tone as if he was looking down on them. Who wouldn''t be mad, no? Even though the ce and time haven''t been "promptly." decided yet, the god''s pantheons all over the Draconic Deus prepared and sharpened their weapon. They wanted to wipe Dragon Nest from this world, which is the intention of Evil Gods. Now even the righteous gods colluded with Evil Gods, wanting to dethrone Huo Yuhao from his position. Unfortunately for them, Dragon Nest isn''t a child yground. After returning to the Dragon Nest, Huo Yuhao called all his subordinates and imparted to them a way to reach godhood. They have broken the mortal limit by not following Douluo Dalu''s Universe standard, which is themon of the 10th Spirit Ring being the final step to bing a god. Even though they missed a few steps, Dragon Nest''s elite members aren''t far from the truth. They have absorbed more spirit rings than the standard, leaving them with twocking objectives. First, Immortal Qi or Divine Energy. And Second, God Seat. The God Seat wouldn''t be a problem because the elite members of Dragon Nest could condense their unique position in this world without getting limited by realmw. However, converting one''s spirit energy to Immortal Qi/Divine Energy would take a long time. That''s why Huo Yuhaobined Mirror Dimension and Ink Domain to create Hyperbolic Time Chamber. To ensure all the Elite Members of Dragon Nest, who apanied him on this conquering quest, became a god-like entity. They have a foundation already. So Huo Yuhao provided them with more time. Huo Yuhao believed they could achieve at least 2nd ss Deity with some exceptions like sub-vice who guaranteed to be 1st ss Deities, such as Murong Qianxue, Xiao Chen, and others. One minute in real-time is "roughly." equal to a year inside the replication of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, so they should havee up sooner orter. Huo Yuhao originally nned to do this after conquering the Realm of the Dead. However, curiosity really killed the cat for him. After being absent for a year, he returned andmenced his n. Sitting on the rocking chair, Huo Yuhao yed around with Azure Emperor Vault and checked some weapons, pondering what he should have done with these things. These things he meant for were Sacred Gears from all across the globe(Draconic Deus). Huo Yuhao shouldn''t have a problem using Sacred Gears because he is technically their owner. Of course, Yeshua(Biblical God) created them to give humanity a chance to survive the iing apocalypse, but he''d solve thatter himself. Pulling out the True Longinus, Huo Yuhao watched the former spear of Cao Cao be a dull-looking spear that once pierced the mortal form of the Biblical God, which has returned to its basic form. Sacred Gears corresponded to its wielder, evolving based on feeling and desire. Cao Cao desired power and his self-righteous justice to be true, which reflected his True Longinus in the past. Now in Huo Yuhao''s hand, True Longinus bes a dull-looking spear with a ck handle and bluish-silver spear de. There is no fancy curve or carving, just an ordinary spear that any skilled cksmith on the face of the earth could make. Huo Yuhao preferred Halberd because he used it a lot back in the Everlith Universe and yed billions of monsters with it. And True Longinus isn''t far from it. His mastery over polearms has reached a state where he could understand the flow or ripple. Well, Huo Yuhao was "directly." influenced by Scathach''s teaching on her way. She didn''t say other weapons are trash, but the spear is always superior in any way possible. Huo Yuhao grabbed True Longinus gently and infused his Conqueror and Armament Haki into it, making the spear tremble violently. True Longinus bes all-ck before cracks start appearing one after another, revealing a royal blue color. Golden light pierced through all the darkness and showed the new appearance of the spear. A blue spear around 2 meters with a ripple-like gold pattern appeared in Huo Yuhao''s palm, having a twisted spear de like a dragon''s head with sharp ridges. [Name: True Longinus(Marked)] [Type: Sacred Gear] [Grade: EX] [Description: A Divine Spear overwritten and tempered by different kinds of wills. It can strip and control "Luck.", destroying natural orders with "Purgatory.", and weaken goddesses with its charm] [Host rmended trying the Divine Spear to find out more abilities] A wry smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face because thest perk of the new True Longinus is "literally." influenced by his God of Lust''s Divinity. Huo Yuhaoughed andmented, "Weaken goddesses with its charm, haha." "Evo, does thest perk affect my Shishou?" [If you deemed her as enemies, yes] Evo answered monotonously. [However, under normal circumstances, there shouldn''t be any effect] Huo Yuhao nodded and added, "Good." "I''m nning to lend this spear to her. Can''t have it debuff her fighting ability, right?" He noticed a ripple in his Ink Domain. Changing his focus, Huo Yuhao opened one of the portals and watched Murong Qianxue walk out with her naginata. Her body released an intense chill simr to Absolute Ice, yet more spread out than Huo Yuhao''s. Murong Qianxue stood proudly on top of her legs, having a body quite tall for a woman, which is 1.9 meters or 6''3 foot. That exact body also could charm any male easily, especially with those D-Cup bosoms and sizable rear. Her elegant bluish-green hair danced gently because of the wind, framing her beautiful face. Usually, a god would have divine rings, but that''s not the case for Dragon Nest''s members. Murong Qianxue is "peacefully." surrounded by twelve crimson spirit rings with a gold print of warriors and snowkes on them. Since their bodies are modified by Spirit Circuits and throughout the usage of the Universal Breathing Technique, they were walking on the path of divinity already. [Name: Murong Qianxue] [Age: 36] [Race: Divine Human, Demonic Entity]] [Cultivation: 1st ss God(Level 131)] [Martial Soul: Onimusha of the Winter(+12), Lightning Dragon Disk(+5)] [Power Level: A True 1st ss God who could shape the 4th Dimension with ease and wield the power of Winter] [Description: A lonely woman with a particr fetish toward young boys, especially her master''s younger self. She loved him so much~!] Huo Yuhao shook his head because Murong Qianxue was somewhat of a unique person, just like every woman he had encountered in his second life. "Congrattion, Qianxue." Huo Yuhao praised her. Murong Qianxue smiled and humbly replied, "This is nothingpared to yours, Master." "U-Um..." "Um?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head. He could feel the nervousness in Murong Qianxue''s voice. Balling her fist to firm more resolution, Murong Qianxue stared at Huo Yuhao''s beautiful royal blue eyes and requested, "M-Master Yuhao, Can I hug you for once?" "I might not know my ce, but I missed you so much..." "Ah..." Huo Yuhao chuckled helplessly. "I made another woman heartbroken." "You don''t have to be fearful, Qianxue. As your master, I can''t let my subordinate be sad." "Here." He opened his arms. Murong Qianxue''s eyes widened at this chance, and she quickly hugged Huo Yuhao tightly. She cried while uttering her frustration for the past year and her anxiety when he was gone. Huo Yuhao patted her back and said, "You can always ask." "Well, it''s up to you to develop this rtionship, but let''s take things slowly, haha." Murong Qianxue blushed and responded softly, "Mm." Huo Yuhao sighed inside because building a harem wasn''t part of his n, but he couldn''t do anything about it. Harem''s path chooses him. He also wasn''t so dense not to feel several woman''s presences in the bush a hundred meters away from him and Murong Qianxue. He became a god already, which means it would be embarrassing not being able to spot his loved ones. ... ... Three dayster. Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and dered to all god pantheons, "I''ve decided the time and ce to finish this matter." "Record of Ragnarok, I''ll hold it on thend where I began my step in this world." "I''ll wait for you guys there..." He added with an amused tone. Chapter 203: Draconic Deuss End (1) Chapter 203: Draconic Deus''s End (1) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 200 --- A site located on the reverse side of the world, which normal humans couldn''t interact with unless they possessed supernatural power. The barrennd once served as the battlefield for the Great War between three factions used once again. A blue-haired man sat on a unique-looking throne, looking at the beautiful dawn sky with a smile. Today is a beautiful day to fulfill his goal of conquering this world. People called him by name after his arrival. The Blue-Eyed Dragon God. The Devil God, Ars Goetia. The New Genesis and End, Humanity God. However, those titles don''t matter today. These countless gods from different pantheons will fight a man named Huo Yuhao. He won''t represent anything grand except himself. Is it arrogance? A man can represent himself as the strongest before these famous and mighty gods. No, it''s his absolute confidence. Even though the sun had risen, stars adorned the morning sky brightly as if they were watching the blue-haired man in expectation. His aura caused a ripple in space and time, changing the terrain. The earth shatters, and the sky is apart, forming a massive bluish-white colosseum with his thought. ck pirs are falling from the starry sky and constructing row upon row of majestic walls across the barrennd. The blue-haired man yawned in boredom, moving his throne to the highest point of the building. Thud! The thronended perfectly and caused the whole Colosseum to tremble violently, revealing heavenly light filled with divine energy and power of the strongest humans. The light surrounded earth and heaven, inviting anyone willing to join him in this grand arena. The final moment is to decide if this world could fight this man. Some knew the answer already as they watched the arena in curiosity and full expectation. Some fools ignored the obvious. They entered the arena with hatred and arrogance, willing to sacrifice millions, if not billion, to defeat this blue-haired man. Well, not all fools are horrible. Some are foolish for not epting the truth. Wiseman once said, "The truth is always bitter." "That''s why people choose the sweet lie." Under everyone''s gaze, the blue-haired man opened his eyes and revealed the most beautiful pairs of royal blue gems. Boundless power swept over the Colosseum and shocked anyone with a weak will. Some gods couldn''t even look at those pair of eyes straight. Fears struck their hearts, but the top mighty gods gazed into the blue-haired man''s eyes without a problem. Opening his mouth, the blue-haired man smirked and said, "Wee to The Record of Ragnarok." ... ... SWOOOOOOOOOOSH! BOOOOOOOOOM!! Several pirs of myriad light ascended to the sky. A group of people stood firmly on the right side of the Colosseum, showing their strength as if they were the fang of a dragon. Rings made out of mysterious divine power exploded with brilliance, painting the right side with kaleidoscopic dominance. In the leading position, a purple-haired woman in divine armor stood with her twin spear. Her power surged and caused chaos on the other side of the Colosseum, making them ufortable. The smirk on the purple-haired woman seems to provoke the opposite group, telling them to face her if they were brave enough. Beside the purple-haired man, a youngdy with a pure appearance stood with her g-bearing staff. She appears to be in her early twenties, but her holy aura rivals gods famous for their holiness. No, her holy aura seems much godlier than theirs. Some people even instinctively kneeled when feeling this aura. Not far away from these two goddesses, three women represented the former three factions, and the yokai factions stood firmly alongside the elite of the Dragon Nest. They are the Archangel, Pure Devil, and A Nekoshou. Led by a woman in her icy dress-like armor who wields a divine-looking naginata. The Ice Demoness, or what people have known as the new chief of the Realm of the Dead, nced at three women chosen by her masters. She admitted they were decent enough to enter her master''s greatness, but this war shall prove their worth even further. "Don''t embarrass Master Yuhao in this war. Our victory is guaranteed, but I will not tolerate a blunder." Her cold voice is alluring yet firm, making men''s hearts freeze in weird sensation. "Yes, Senior." The three women responded solemnly. On the alliance gods'' side, several wise gods stare at the opposite side with a gloomy looks. "Aih, to think Ragnarok happened sooner than I predicted. I''ve be too old." The all-father, Odin, or the chief god of the Norse Pantheon, sighed while sitting on his king''s side. It''s a position assigned to him and all other chief gods allied with the Dragon Nest. Besides the Norse Pantheon, there are also Greek, Shinto, Chinese, and Celtic Mythology on the alliance side. They are looking at the opposing side with wry smiles because these fools haven''t witnessed Dragon Nest''s terrifying power. Greeks have seen enough when Hades gets one-sidedly erased from existence below their home. Chinese, Shinto and other areas nearby fell into the hand of the crafty fox goddess in weeks. They are on their knees when facing her. Celtic, it''s self-exntation with the God Killer on the Dragon Nest. It''s not just gods that allied with the Dragon Nest, as other races like vampires and werewolves joined. Of course, their position is slightly inferior due to the difference in power. A pink-haired woman with a foxy smile sat on her rocking chair, grinning from ear to ear. She looked down on the Hindu faction alongside the evil god faction as they were clearly not on the same page but allied to fight her champion. "To defeat amon enemy, even ill-fated forces decided to fight alongside each other. How ironic, considering the Evil Gods want the destruction of this world by opening a portal to another world." She giggled andmented, "Have eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. As expected of third-rate deities." "Right, Yun''er?" A beauty with pinkish-blonde hair sipped her morning tea and responded, "Well, Hao''er is going to win one way or another." "He is still deciding what reasonable way he had to destroy these fools." ... ... "Indra. I didn''t expect you to attend this small asion." A handsome young boymented while looking at the famous "King of Gods." of Hindu mythology. They have not been in a good rtionship for a few thousand years. Indra rolled his eyes and returned, "Shut your trap, Shiva." "I''ll defeat Huo Yuhao today and you tomorrow. So, you better save your strength." Shiva smiled and responded calmly, "As much as I wanted to fight you back tomorrow. It''s not feasible because we either die trying or fall shamefully today." "The fate of the world is in our hands." A voice came from Shiva''s mouth, but it wasn''t his. "The creation won''t fade if we try our best." Another voice followed, which caused Indra''s mouth to twitch. Indra crossed his arms and said, "You and your annoying forms..." "We are one. You know that from the beginning." Shivaughed in amusement, overseeing the battlefield. Shiva noticed the God of Trickery and other evil gods not far away from the Hindu Pantheons, frowning because he didn''t want to be on the same ground as them. However, what can he do? ''Even with those visions, this situation is more dangerous than I expected.'' Shiva sighed helplessly inside. Loki smiled slyly under the shadow and watched Huo Yuhao sitting high and mighty on his throne. "Heh, that throne will be mine soon." He said confidently. "Everything will go as nned when my Ragnarok begins." "And those otherworldly forces shall be under my reign." The other evil godsughed, following Loki as they were "deeply." entranced by his brilliant n. Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and summoned several beings from his throne, allowing them to take a step into reality. WOOOOOOOOOOSH! Ice storm appeared out of nowhere, revealing a pair of beautiful goddesses. The first goddess is a woman with long golden hair and beautiful icy blue eyes, sporting a pearly white dress as she stands on the right side of the throne. The second goddess is a petitedy with green hair styled in a twin ponytail, wearing a gothic loli dress with a matching green color. She stood beside the first goddess, holding her hand with a pout. BOOOM! A brilliant golden exploded, exposing a breathtaking beauty with grayish golden hair and gray eyes. The beauty held onto the hand of a pink-haired child with a draconic appearance as she stood on the right side of the throne. And finally, a pir of ck light erupted and covered the whole Colosseum. A silhouette of a woman appeared. No one could recognize this woman besides one person. "Oberon, the victory shall be yours..." An eternal voice echoed as the spirit of the silhouette hugged the blue-haired man from the back. Huo Yuhao leaned on his throne and dered, "The Record of Ragnar?k Begins!" Chapter 204: Draconic Deuss End (2) Chapter 204: Draconic Deus''s End (2) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 201 --- While people on the other side of the world lived peacefully and didn''t notice the slightest change in their lives, gods and several powerful creatures faced each other on the reverse side of the world. Hindu Gods and Evil Gods Factions be the scion light and darkness for the opposing side, which only separated from their idealism to defeat Huo Yuhao in Record of Ragnarok. One wants to stop Huo Yuhao from conquering Draconic Deus. Meanwhile, the others want to dethrone Huo Yuhao and im his otherworldly position. Unknown to them, nothing escapes from the True Ancestor Eyes of the Lords. Under Huo Yuhao''s gaze, everything would be visible, whether it was their ulterior motive or n. Huo Yuhao''s eyes might get sealed when doing his emergency quest in the Everlith Universe, but his sense isn''t. Especially, Spiritual Sense, which has be the base for his Divine Sense. Before the emergency quest, Huo Yuhao could only cover a thousand miles of area with his Spiritual Sense alone. And it evolved under extreme pressure of billions of monsters reaching for his neck. A thousand miles be ten thousand miles. Ten thousand miles be one hundred thousand miles. Atst, Huo Yuhao reached the point where he could easily cover the entire, if not the sr system, with his Spiritual Sense alone. If Tian Meng enhanced his vision, it would be ten times that. [World''s Vision-Sharing] A technique that evolved and was "constantly." shared with everyone on the Dragon Nest''s side. It feels like a thousand pieces of information fed into their brain without any dys, but they wouldn''t feel burdened because Huo Yuhao controlled all of it. His divine consciousness is "firmly." located in his Spiritual Core, and it took every piece of information quickly and formalized them most efficiently. World Vision-Sharing barely exhausts 0.01% of his Quantum Mental God Tree(Spiritual Core). Maybe even less than that. ... ... "They are looking like a group of mighty clowns," Scathachmented while crossing her arms. She was itchy for the enemy''s blood after condensing her divinity. Qianye Ying''erughed gently andmented, "Calling them clowns isn''t enough." "They are the whole circus, if not the fool entertainment industry." A row ofughter came from the Dragon Nest''s members when hearing Qianye Ying''er jokes. They are people, whoe to this world and expect something dangerous, but in reality, some gods and powerful creatures in Draconic Deus cannot even getpared to things they fought in the Self-Evolving Dungeon Advalon. They are so weak. Xiao Chen rubbed his palms together and said in expectation, "Hehe, I hope my gadget is shining in this war." "What do you think, Murong Qianxue?" He asked the cold Sub-Vice Leader of the Dragon Nest. Murong Qianxue snorted and replied, "It would be good if they could resist my spirit skillter." A wry smile appeared on Xiao Chen''s face. After all, their spirit skills evolved after bing a god. Huo Yuhao looked down from his throne and asked the opposite side calmly, "So, what format do you want in this war?" "All-Out-War?" "Or Separated?" Indra and Shiva frowned when hearing Huo Yuhao''s question as they stared at each other. Loki and the Evil Gods smiled as if they were expecting this already. And just like that, Loki opened his mouth first. "Separated! We wanted this Ragnarok to be separated!" Loki said while standing tall proudly. "We can do seven against seven from each faction." "And Squad Fight, where our army is against your army." "If you don''t mind, we can also do one-against-one for ten matches." "BOOOOOOO!! That''s boring!" Scathach shouted at Loki, giving him an annoyed look. Well, the Gods of Trickery casuallyughed at her. Oh boy, someone is getting his ass whooped to oblivion soon. "Separated, it is." Huo Yuhao nodded while letting Loki make fun of himself. He lifted his fingers slightly and created an arena spanning over ten kilometers in the middle of the Colosseum, which touched both sides. He smiled in amusement and continued, "Let''s start from seven against seven. Send your strongest fighters." "Are you going to fight?" Shiva asked while ncing at Indra. Indra sneered and replied, "Me? I''d save my stamina to fight Huo Yuhao." "Let those annoying bastards fight first." Shiva smiled as if Indra''s words were funny andmented lightly, "As expected of the King of Gods. You wanted to see the enemy''s strength first before dipping your feet into unknown territory." He could see Indra''s intention effortlessly. A dreadful feeling grew on the stage as Loki spread his fingers, causing the ck mist to expand excessively. He gazed at Huo Yuhao while summoning seven creatures on the vast stage. "These are..." The Spirit Masters from Dragon Nest simrly reacted when seeing these seven creatures. Scathach even frowned slightly and said, "Spirit Beast..." "This guy. He used the stolen Runes Stones and infused its power to creatures of this world, bred them, and created these ugly monsters." Before everyone''s eyes, seven monsters stood with unique features and characteristics. Just like the legend, Loki is a father of monsters. A vampire with draconic features, having bones of different sizes arranged like armor. Those bones were enchanted with runes and appeared more mystical than some sacred gears. A twin wolf, one with silver furs and the other with golden coats howled at the sky. Their crimson eyes released intense killing intent as the surrounding space and time shook slightly. Thunderps reverberated in the area, revealing a burly yet hideous ogre with six arms and different kinds of weapons emitting tainted bluish-dark electricity. It was "clearly." created to mock the God of Thunder, Thor. There is also a skinny humanoid monster with pale skin and no eyes but has this weird-looking gold aura covering its body. Even though the poor creature has no eyes, it wears an eyepatch on its left hollow eyesocket to mock Odin and his overall appearance. Besides the skinny monster, a weird-looking creature was over the ground and released a static noise. It''s weird because its body is mainly purple me and golden sparks. And finally, a massive white serpent with seven pairs of wings, covering at least a one-kilometer square area with its body. "What do you think? This power of mine." Loki proudly said, leaving the other god speechless. They didn''t expect him to possess such a powerful small army within his arsenal. "Pfft, hahaha~!" Xiao Chen, the weapon maniac,ughed to his heart''s content when hearing Loki''s proud statement. "Did he really says "This power of mine." after summoning several creatures below the 100.000 years old realm?" "HAHAHAHA~!" Hisughter bes even louder at this sight. The spirit masters of the Dragon Nest shook their heads. It''sughable to see Loki presenting such a weak line of monsters, but they pitied him more because he was about to be awakened from his dream soon. They didn''t want to fight these monsters because it wouldn''t prove much of their skills. It would be a waste of time. Even the battle maniac and god yer, Scathach, couldn''t help but sigh in disappointment. She has fought several 100.000 year old Spirit Beasts in the dungeon back at the Dragon Nest''s main base, and these weak-ass monsters created by Loki wouldn''t satisfy her battle-hungry nature. Yet their dejected actions boosted Loki''s confidence to greater heights, making him believe they were afraid of his creations. If only he knew the truth and standard of Dragon Nest. Sure, Loki could scare some people in Douluo Dalu''s World, but those people are the lowest-ranking of spirit masters. And those people still used the old standard to measure one''s strength. Any title douluo would demolish his monsters, though. After thinking about it, Huo Yuhao chose who would fight in this starting round. It was through telepathy, so seven people immediately jumped onto the stage. "Robin, Kuroka, Gabriel, Grayfia, Venna, Mi, and Raikou-san. Show them your hard work so far." Sevendies stood beside each other, facing Loki''s monsters somewhat excitedly, and expected Huo Yuhao would see how much they had grown in just a year. "Let''s do our best, Nyaa~!" Kuroka pumped her fist. "Mm, let''s do our best, everyone." Robin followed with a smile. Venna giggled andmented, "I can finally show Lord Yuhao my newfound power, fufu~!" "Mm." Mi nodded while summoning her whip. "I won''t let Devil God-Sama down." Raikou grabbed her sword and said, "Hmm, that snake looks decent, but I''d take the six-armed one." "Then, I''ll take down the vampire," Gabriel responded while summoning her martial soul. Grayfia closed and opened her eyes, observing the arena briefly before giving Huo Yuhao a confident nod. A pair of guns appeared in her hands, swirling with spirit energy. "Ladies, Yuhao-Sama expected a lot from you. Show him your best capabilities, and don''t give Loki the satisfaction he wanted..." Grayfia indifferently said while staring at Loki. "Destroy your opponent quickly without any possible retaliation..." "Mm." 6x. Grayfia maintained her calm look and added, "Ladies, Summon your spirit rings." SWOOOOOOOOOOOSH!! Under everyone''s gaze, fifty-six spirit rings erupted from the ground, illuminating the stage with intense ck and red light. Even though most of these spirit rings are ck, some are red, which means all of them to possess at least one 100.000 years old spirit ring. "W-What is this?" Loki was surprised by such a disy of power. "Is this red halo supposed to be higher than the ck ones I obtained from killing those mortals?" Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Let''s start." "Record of Ragnarok, 1st Round." "Start!" BOOOOOOOOOM!!! Before everyone could blink, seven silhouettes moved quickly across the stage andunched their most powerful attack. "Five Element Strike!" Five elements danced in the sky and struck down the skinny monster of Loki, destroying its body into nothingness. "World of Paper: Folding Flower Lance~!" A Typhon of paperses forth, folding itself into a mightynce coated with haki, and strikes down the massive winged snake of Loki. The monster let out a blood-curdling before perishing. "One Thousand Days'' Rain of Destruction..." A thousand silver needles hovered in the air, powering up with the power of destruction and bing fiendish purple color. Individual needle''s size besparable to an adult human because of the enhancement, raining down one of the wolves. "Beast''s Howling Whish." A mighty whip shed through the air and carried the power of a mighty golden lion called Regulus Aurum, killing the other wolf of Loki. The wolf couldn''t move because of the whip suppression against the beast-type enemy. "Ox-King Storm Call - The Inescapable Net of Heaven!" Minamoto no Raikou lifted her sword and summoned some silhouettes moving quickly in the air. She watched the six-armed monster getting attacked by her avatars, finishing thest strike with a quick draw. A pir of light rose. "Oh, Great Father. Limitless Vow''s Heaven Stab." Gabriel descended from the sky with the p of her wings as she gently pushed her sword further. She closed her eyes and opened them back with a resolution, giving her sword great force. The vampire witnessed this helplessly because of the extreme holy powering from Gabriel''s strike. "Neverending World''s Break." Grayfia aimed her gun at thest monster and pulled her trigger. Unlike others, she trained her martial soul with the most sophisticated method and caught up to several elite members in manipting time and space. After shooting the first bullet, Grayfia shot one more with her other gun and caused a disturbance in the arena. An invisible swirl appeared and devoured everything on its path. SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! BAAAAAAAAAAAM!! KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Half of the arena disappeared from existence. "..." Loki. "..." Indra. ''''..." Shiva. "They have grown so much in just a year." Huo Yuhao smiled proudly. "Seven of them, and none disappoint me." "Maybe putting them in a group wasn''t a bad idea." "What should I call it, hmm..." "The MILF SQUAD!" Tian Meng took words from Huo Yuhao''s mouth, leaving other contracted souls speechless. "What?" She looked at them back fiercely. "It''s not a bad name." "It is, haha~!" Huo Yuhao chuckled in defeat. Was he this easy to read? Chapter 205: Draconic Deuss End (3) Chapter 205: Draconic Deus''s End (3) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! Check the Synopsis for the Link~! --- Chapter 202 --- Silence. The Anti-Dragon Nest''s God Forces look at the sevendies in the half-destroyed arena inplete silence. That''s five kilometers of destruction, erasing anything in that area into nothingness. Many thoughts shed in their minds, but the two were instinctively simr. How? And is this the limit of Dragon Nest? They knew Dragon Nest had long recruited many people in the Draconic Deus, including every race and even some divine creatures such as angels and holy beasts. These newly recruited members received a training method to be stronger and resources such as Rune Stones and Extremely-Advanced Otherworldly Technology, which were "immediately." targeted by them as they were curious about Dragon Nest''s foundation. Loki killed at least one hundred new members and snatched the shared training method through gruesome methods, reading their souls and preventing them from getting reincarnated by Heaven''s Systems. He also used the Rune Stones to create his gruesome monsters. Fortunately, Loki couldn''t use the Otherworldly Technology the Dragon Nest had created because of its safety measure when stolen. When seeing how much power these sevendies could exert, Loki only scratched the surface of an iceberg called Dragon Nest. Usually, when faced with such a situation, people would begin questioning their master n. Not for Loki because he was a madman and the God of Trickery. Loki bes even more excited when Dragon Nest possesses more than he expected as his greed explodes through the roof. Well, he''s an idiot with extreme ambition, if you put it bluntly. "Mine, mine, mine..." Loki''s eyes grew wilder with each second. If Gaze could eat someone, he would have eaten the sevendies on the stage and seized their powers. He''s not sad about the seven monsters that get erased, as they were mere products to him. Not far away, Shiva frowned slightly and ruined his peaceful expression because this exceeded his assumption about the Dragon Nest. He knew the Dragon Nest was strong. But not this strong! Moreover, Shiva couldn''t help but think what he had just witnessed was not the limit of the Dragon Nest. He hasn''t seen it personally, but the strength of God yer Scathach, Blue-Eyed Dragon Huo Yuhao, Great Fox Goddess Huo Yun''er, and the Reincarnation of Jeanne D''arc Qianye Ying''er is very well-known in the supernatural world. No, he doesn''t have to mention them because the new ruler of the Realm of the Dead is known as a powerful monarch who ruled with her Iron Fist, and Frost is a closerparison. "Since these seven have this many powers, I can assume the Frost Queen is mightier than them... At least ten times with the intense energying from her body." Shiva seized Murong Qianxue''s aura with his unique-shaped pupils'' eyes. Shiva didn''t realize Murong Qianxue''s current state wasn''t her full power. She was in base mode, not channeling her divine energy or activating her martial soul. Once one''s flesh, spirit, and mind ascended to the god realm, a qualitative change urred and leaped all the former stats into greater heights. There is a difference between a god who''s a god and a cultivator who became a god. Not only were these two natures distinguishable, but their powers sometimes were not on par with each other. Not saying a god whoes into existence is weak, but they are limited to a certain degree. Meanwhile, Shiva is fascinated with his thoughts. Indra observed the sevendies on the half-destroyed stage and mumbled curiously, "I don''t know about the angel, that little cat, and human... But those three devils obviously have exceeded their predecessors." "They have surpassed the Original Satans by arge margin." "And that woman." Indra squinted his eyes when staring at Minamoto no Raikou. "Why does she seem to have a connection with me?" "That lightning of hers for sure is simr to mine. Yet at the same time, I couldn''t discern the origin." Even though Indra was the King of Gods, his divine-like observation couldn''t find a clue about Minamoto no Raikou. Minamoto no Raikou felt the gaze of Indra and squinted her eyes, putting on an unpleasant expression because those eyes reminded her of someone. "Good job." Huo Yuhao''s soothing voice entered Minamoto no Raikou''s head, corresponding to the other sixdies. "I''m proud of you all, and as I have promised. I''ll grant you any gift as long it is within my capability." The foul mood in Raikou''s heart melted immediately. She smiled and boldly teased, "Hehe, you can''t take your words back, honey! Even if I asked for a spicy gift~!!" It''s not just Raikou because the otherdies thought the same, making a small smile appear on Huo Yuhao''s face. Huo Yuhao shook his head as he already took a fancy to thesedies. He teleported them out while repairing the half-destroyed arena with his spare thinking. Also, fortifying with enhancement magic, Looking down at the opposite side, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and said, "1st Round, Dragon Nest''s victory." "Do you have anyints?" Quiet. None of the opposite gods are willing to say something. Huo Yuhao was okay with that and continued, "Oh well, I will take your response as a yes." Even though the opposite gods could only grit their teeth in this matter, they couldn''t do anything about it. The disy of power from the sevendies took words from their mouths. Some gods here don''t even have the confidence to defeat one of the sevendies, and they are "quickly." faced with a stronger enemy. Huo Yuhao smirked inwardly and announced, "Then, let''s proceed to the 2nd round." "I believe we agree to do army against army, right?" "Bring the best of the best of your armies. I hope they are enough to be a snack for our dragons." "Snack?" Indra''s mouth twitched. He red at Huo Yuhao and silently called, "Arjuna, Karna. Lead the army to the arena." "Yes, Father/My Lord." Two figures lead the Heavenly Army under Indra''s order, stepping onto the arena with the grand aura of the warrior as they overwrote the formerly gloomy mood into that of the majestic entrance. The first is a tall, handsome man with fair-golden skin resembling the sun, broad-chested, and long arms that extend to his spear. He fits the warrior who wielded a spear and bow&arrows. He wore a golden armor with several sparks. Meanwhile, the other man is also tall and handsome with silvery dark skin, a thinner physique, and toned muscle in his arms. He wore a in attire, which was a long-sleeved white robe. Not wanting to lose, Shiva also summoned hismanders, "Mahabali, lead the army." "Yes, my lord." Mahabali has the appearance of a handsome man with long ck hair, pale white skin, and a muscr body wearing a native sari dress. He has a sharp eye possessing unbelievable divinity, constantly releasing a supreme aura. Like Indra''s, Shiva''s army stepped onto the stage and brought another change, filling the atmosphere with a white light of enlightenment. Loki flicked his wrist andmanded his subordinates to step onto the arena, washing the once pure atmosphere into that of taintednd. "This..." Shiva''s expression sank slightly. Indra red at Loki in displeasure but decided not to say anything because Karna and Arjuna would deal the rest for him. "What?" Loki grinned at Shiva and Indra. "Do you expect me to support you guys, even though we are on the same side?" The change in the atmosphere is invisible to people who don''t have a divine origin, such as descendants of gods and gods themselves. Yet Huo Yuhao could see this change without reacting too much because it was insignificant to him. After all, He has faced a monster that could transform miles upon miles of area with just a step in Everlith Universe. It''s likeparing a toddler. No, an ant to a literal continent-sized giant! "Go." Huo Yuhao sent his voice to the ck Dragon Unit. As cliche as its sounds, this unit served the Dragon Nest from the shadow and only received the order of Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun''er, Qianye Ying''er, and Scathach. Consisting of fifteen people, they are elites of the elites members of the Dragon Nest. Of course, besides the Sub-Vice Leaders like Murong Qianxue, Liu Mei, and others. Their strength couldn''t get measured by the Draconic Deus''s standard as each of them ascended to the god realm with Huo Yuhao''s help. "2nd Round, Army against Army." "Starts!"

She only appeared twice, when she turned the Astaroth n upside down and the Underworld War against the Realm of Death. People regarded her as the Reincarnation of Jeanne D''Arc, but the gods knew the truth. Jeanne D''Arc Soul has long returned to the Biblical God''s side, so only her descendant remains. And that descendant of hers is the current wielder of de cksmith. No matter how they saw it, Qianye Ying''er is from the same world as Huo Yuhao. The unruly presence of Qianye Ying''er even made every God tremble instinctively, especially the Hindu Faction and Light Gods in the area. Samael released a war cry as the battle began, charging forward like a mad bull. Qianye Ying''er kicked her battle g and swayed the pole, creating a beautiful arc. Her 1st Spirit Ring lit up, causing the surrounding Light Elements to gather and manifest into fair golden hands. BAM! Samael mmed himself against the golden hands, groaning in pain. "Light Dragon Fist." The golden hands balled into a fist, punching Samael away. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Everyone in the Colosseum was stupefied. Such force. How could someone generate such a terrifying attack with simple action? Qianye Ying''er, who looks no more than twenty, actually achieved this. ''As if a huge carrot shoved into their mouths.'' Qianye Ying''er giggled softly, causing a thousand men''s hearts to flutter. She appeared to be a goddess in the arena. Samael roared again and released this violent aura, changing the area around him into a dark zone. BOOM! The light and darkness shed. An invisible spark appeared as the two opposite elements fiercely pushed each other. Samael''s darkness exploded once more. It happened after Lokimanded something in a whisper. Qianye Ying''er noticed this and smiled because this fool was more foolish than anyone she had seen. Using Spirit Energy in such a shady manner would only lead to destruction. And then something shocking urred. Samael abruptly disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind Qianye Ying''er. An ashen-colored bone punctured his right palm and shot toward Qianye Ying''er. TING! But Qianye Ying''er casually coated her hand with Advanced Armament Haki, catching the ashen-colored bone. A metallic sound echoed throughout the Colosseum as they made contact. "CRUSH HER!" A grin crept onto Loki''s face. Samael suddenly bulged like a bloated balloon as every muscle in his body jutted beyond belief. A terrifying physical force enhanced with a dark aura surged, creating a crack in the arena. ROAR!!! Samael''s right hand bes dragon-like, trying to crush Qianye Ying''er like a hydraulic press. "Interesting." Qianye Ying''ermented with a smile. CRACKS! KABOOOOOOOOOM!!! The arena couldn''t handle the pressure and shattered into pieces, making rubble fly everywhere. A cloud of dust spread, but none of the observers dare to close their eyes. It is the fight that decides the fate of this world. They cannot miss it, even for a fraction of a millisecond. "HAHAHA~! The victory shall be mine!" Loki screamed in delight. Scathach leaned on the Colosseum''s wall while closing her eyes and chuckled in amusement, "What a fool." "Does he think the arena got destroyed because of that ominous-looking angel?" "Um, Instructor." Robin raised her hand. "Is it just me imagining things, or did Qianye Ying''er power keep growing?" Scathach gave Robin an amusing nce and said, "What''s your current progress in Universal Breathing Technique?" "Universal Breathing Technique? Err, I have only reached high mastery so far." Robin answered with a weird expression. "As for my Spirit Circuits, I have manifested the flower patterns." "Robin, those two you mentioned are the foundation of every Dragon Nest Member, me and Yuhao included," Scathach remarked casually. "When you manifest the Inner Demon''s Mask and reach perfection in Universal Breathing Technique, you can draw in infinite strength." "Your Spirit Circuits is so efficient that Spirit Energy keeps rotating forever, making your strength explode a hundred if not a thousand times of the base." "No way..." Robin was speechless. Scathach smirked and added, "Those fools might have stolen the basic version of Universal Breathing Technique, but they could never copy Spirit Circuits unique to the Dragon Nest." "Did they think the Primordial Rune and Mystic Code Huo Yuhao created is easy to crack? Pfft, I bet even Gods of the same level as Huo Yuhao couldn''t do it." Robin pitied these Gods Scathach had mentioned but also idolized Huo Yuhao for something this amazing. "Robin, open your eyes. Use everything you had to observe Qianye Ying''er fight and absorb it for your good." Scathach instructed while staring at the arena. "This is your time to see the littless''s true strength." ... BOOOM! The cloud of dust blew up. As it cleared up, everyone could see Samael kneeling on the ground to the point arena sunk deeper. His stature is now lower than Qianye Ying''er small figure. Qianye Ying''er appearance didn''t change, except for a white angel mask covering her face. One part revealed a smile, and the other was a gloomy frown. Incredible suction power appeared from Qianye Ying''er body, absorbing the surrounding energy. Her index finger was "directly." ced on Samael''s right hand and pressed the ominous-looking angel. The opposite gods'' expressions sank when seeing this. Loki''s excited expression has long gone. It was "immediately." reced with disbelief. Qianye Ying''er grabbed Samael''s right hand and crushed it, lifting the Dragon Eater. "There you go!" She looked up and tossed the massive creature to the sky. BOOOOOOOOM!! The shockwave washed the arena. Qianye Ying''er flicked her hair and gathered an unfathomable amount of divine energy onto the tip of her index finger, shaking the whole area as a golden orb formed quickly. BAM! A massive white dragon with glimmering white-gold scales and four feathered wingsnded on the arena. "Dragon Swallowing Light Beam." SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!! The golden orb released a brilliant light as it expanded and rose to the sky. Samael tried to fly away and dodge, but it was a useless final attempt because Qianye Ying''er had sealed his power with her Primordial Rune mastery. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! The light touched Samael and caused an extreme explosion, washing away the Colosseum and several miles radius and area in radiation. This radiation heat could have burned everyone in the Colosseum, yet they were safe because Huo Yuhao created a strong barrier around the area. And it wasn''t even the end. The White Dragon kicked the arena and soared to the sky, opening its mouth. Those massive yet sharp teeth caused everyone to shudder. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRR!!! A majestic dragon roares out and is "directly." followed by the brutal devouring of Samael. Samael released a painful groan as the White Dragon chomped its body a few times, spraying toxic green blood in the sky. Thankfully, the residual radiation evaporated the blood. The white dragon disappeared with another explosion, creating this beautiful yet creepy firework. Gabriel and the other Archangels closed their eyes. Even though they got saddened by the fate of Samael as he''s technically still their brother, this death is more of the release of his past self. "May you rest in peace." Gabriel prayed while holding her hand. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao wasn''t interested in Samael''s death. After all, the angel himself has long been corrupted by a dark force. He looked down at Loki and nonchntly said, "Next." Chapter 209: Draconic Deuss End (7) Chapter 209: Draconic Deus''s End (7) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 206 --- After witnessing the glory of light, everyone gulped their guts nervously as the beautiful young goddessnded on the stage with a slight frown of dissatisfaction. "Too weak." Qianye Ying''ermented, feeling disgusted by Loki''s creation. "Is this the best you can do? Altering other''s body with the help of Spirit Beast''s Soul Power." Loki''s hand trembled in murderous intent. He looked at Qianye Ying''er like he wanted to kill her a million times but held himself back because this wasn''t the proper time. If Loki''s gaze could kill someone, he would do it without hesitation now. Unfortunately, his forte doesn''t even lean toward such a field. "What a bummer." Qianye Ying''er continued while pulling her g, twirling it casually. All Gods sucked cold breath when looking at Qianye Ying''er. Even though they didn''t have proof, they could moderately feel the young goddess-like woman hadn''t used her full power. Her divinity is domineeringpared to other Gods specialized in wielding Light Elements. And to their shame, she doesn''t look old and barely reaches her thirties. Of course, Gods could alter their appearance to be younger than their "True." age, but Qianye Ying''er is obviously young. Unknown to them, Qianye Ying''er wasn''t even twenty. Qianye Ying''er walked down the arena and nced at Huo Yuhao, giving him a V sign. He smiled and told her to prepare for something else, as this small tournament was merely a warm-up for the Dragon Nest. "Third Round, First Match. Dragon Nest''s Victory." Huo Yuhao''s voice sounded bored in the Colosseum. Everyone from the Draconic Deus Universe could discern his tone, feeling embarrassed and enraged. Those who allied with the Dragon Nest felt embarrassed because their world was way weaker than expected when facing the Elites of the Dragon Nest. Meanwhile, Those who opposed the Dragon Nest felt enraged because their enemies looked down on them. But what can they do in this situation? Their best shot is to believe in Loki, Indra, and Shiva. "Next." The arena repaired itself as Huo Yuhao''s voice reverberated again. Loki nced at Indra and Shiva, "Are you guys going to step in? I might possess other trump cards in my sleeve, but the victory of the world shall be mine forever." "Even you, a King of Gods, wouldn''t say anything after that." Indra grimaced because he thought of sending Arjuna to the arena before, but his son got killed in the 2nd Round. He couldn''t even utter his anger because it would be an embarrassment. Yes, A shame for his son''s sacrifice. Indra grimaced, thinking about the Wild Card he couldn''t use as it could endanger not only his faction but also the world. "Kori, you will fight in the second match." Shiva suddenly said to a young woman beside her. The young woman is around twenty or maybe even younger than that, with a charming face and flowing ck hair. Herplexion was like light chocte, and those green eyesplimented her beauty even more. Kori nodded and replied, "Yes, Lord Shiva." As she walked into the arena, Kori''s appearance piqued the interest of everyone in just a few seconds. Her beauty is far-fetched and inferior to Qianye Ying''er, which makes her unique. Qianye Ying''er gave the impression of an untouchable goddess. On the other hand, Kori gives off a modest and righteous aura. "Shiva, you..." Indra stared at the back of Shiva solemnly. "You have finished the Faith System?" Shiva smiled and didn''t say anything. The Faith System is something that Hindu Gods researched for several centuries, with Biblical God''s Sacred Gears and Devil''s Evil Pieces System as references. Using Dragon Nest''s Universal Breathing Technique, Hindu Gods could create a synthetic form of their divinity and bestow it to their subordinates. This new type of energy is named "Prana.", allowing the wielder to exert incredible power. It is supposed to be secret, but Shiva knew the Anti-Dragon Nest''s Force got pressured hard recently. Since Huo Yuhao has promised, they only have to win one match. One match and this world wouldn''t get destroyed by him. Kori is top of three within the Faith System''s Spiritualist. She is strong and has immense strength, maybe simr to those who possessed Longinus Sacred Gears and Unique Lineage. Even the current Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor won''t be her match, but under the matter, they don''t get Dragon Nest''s help. As if Huo Yuhao was reading Shiva''s mind, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Vali, it''s your turn." "Don''t embarrass me." In the Fallen Angel Block or Grigori, a dark-silver-haired young man stood from his seat. "Tsk, It''s finally my moment to shine." He said excitedly. Vali Lucifer couldn''t wait anymore. After awakening Martial Soul one year ago, Vali Lucifer has experienced hellish training and exceeded his limits countless times. However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn''t defeat the Dragon Nest''s Elite Members. He barely reached the top twenty new members as the Dragon Nest recruited strong people like Satans, Archangels, and Fallen Angels from Grigori. That''s not counting Youkai Faction and Vampire Faction. He kicked the seat andnded on the arena with a boom, causing dust to fly everywhere. Giving his opponent a look, Vali smiled because Kori''s aura was slightly inferior. ''You shouldn''t look down on your opponent, Vali.'' Albion''s voice suddenlymented. Vali smiled and replied, "I know." "I''m just excited, you know?" Huo Yuhao flicked his finger to create a barrier around the arena and announced, "3rd Round, Second Match." "Starts." There was no excitement in his voice. Everyone focused on the arena and saw Kori enter a stance, making some gesture that released tangible green energy. The energy became bigger and covered her body, making her look like an incarnation of a green deity. The energy spurted out some energy weapons, floating around Kori''s body. Vali Activated his Sacred Gear and arrived before Kori, sending a powerful punch imbued with magical energy. BAM! "Hmm?" A green shield blocked Vali''s punch and fulfilled the condition to activate Divide. [Divide!] Albion''s voice echoed in the arena. Swoosh! Kori smiled at Vali''s antics and disappeared from his vision. She crouched and kicked him in the stomach. BAM! Vali took a few steps back and frowned because his Divide wasn''t effective on Kori. Something is wrong with her green energy. "Are you surprised?" Kori uttered while looking at him. "Divine Dividing, Boosted Gears, or Longinus, be useless to Spiritualists. You cannot affect my power as it relies on the Faith System." She lifted her fist and added, "The stronger our faith, the stronger we be." Everyone in the arena was shocked when hearing Kori''s bold statements. Vali shook his head andmented, "You''re strong. Stronger than my past self if what you said is correct." "However..." "I could tell the weakness of the Faith System easily." Kori and Hindu Gods'' expressions be solemn. Vali smirked and continued, "The power of faith is strong and allows its wielder to be a heavenly-like existence, but your weakness is "actually." tied to the faith itself." "It all depends on God, who sponsored you, right?" "And If I can shatter their images, your power will be nothing." "Do not tarnish my lords'' names..." Kori''s face was cold. Vali shrugged and returned, "Let me see the power of your so-called Faith System. After all, It''s just a cheap copy of Dragon Nest''s Cultivation Method." "This is the real power." BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! [Variant Bnce Breaker!] [Heavenly White Dragon Emperor''s Transformation] A man in armor appeared before everyone''s eyes. His armor is pure white with a streak of blue color, having this oozing draconic aura. Two pair of energy wings ejected from his back. I, who am about to awaken! Am the Heavenly Dragon who lost all to the principles of supremacy I envy the "Blue Sky." and pursue His "Endless Limit." I shall be the White Dragon God of Supremacy ''''And I shall take you to the limits of innocence!'''' [DEMONIC WHITE DRAGON DEMI-GOD''S DRIVE!!!] White lightning struck the arena as Vali Lucifer stood with newly transformed armor. His armor bes leaner in size, capturing the spirit of Demon and Dragon. The sockets of his armor released violent blue light. The energy wings erged, almost twice his armor. The gauntlets on Vali''s armor also amodated sharp silver ws now. Spirit Rings exploded with brilliance, covering the sky with ck and crimson lights. Vali is level 81 Spirit Douluo with six ck and two red spirit rings. Kori didn''t just watch and use her more powerful form. "Spiritualist''s Sacrifice." Kori''s life force seeped away as her entire body was "quickly." overpowered by Faith Force. She pulled out a spear and stood against Vali''s iing attack. Vali looked at Kori and said, "Shield this with your Faith if you can." [LONGINUS SATAN ULTIMATE SMASHER!!!] BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Vali punched the air as magic circles surrounded the area, multiplying by one hundred each second. His energy dispersed and gathered continuously, causing a wave of electricity and shockwaves. A deep silver light rose, swallowing the arena. Fabric spaces cracked one after another. And before everyone could react, the arena was pletely." razzed to the ground, and they could only see Vali in his draconic armor. There is no Kori. She haspletely vanished from this world. Even her soul couldn''t escape Vali''s attack. Shiva shivered as his eyes bulged in disbelief. "H-How?" In Shiva''s vision, Vali Lucifer shouldn''t possess such immense power. Yet Vali defied his destiny and wielded a strength that rivaled even GODS! And all that, thanks to the Dragon Nest. Huo Yuhao smiled at Vali and praised, "Not bad." Chapter 210: Draconic Deuss End (8) Chapter 210: Draconic Deus''s End (8) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 207 --- Vali Lucifer canceled his transformation and sighed because he couldn''t maintain the Demonic White Dragon Demi-God Drive form for too long. Since Vali just started the path of the newly reformed Douluo Cultivation System of the Dragon Nest, he still couldn''t master the skill tobine his Demonic Energy, Draconic Origin, and Spirit Energy. Unlike Huo Yuhao, he wasn''t well-versed in this field. And to be fair, let''s not talk about merging three forces alone because fusing two is hard enough already. Not to mention, Vali has yet to master the Three Hakis. Under Scathach''s borderline suicide training, Vali only entered the intermediate stage of Observation and Armament Haki. As for Conqueror''s Haki, Vali could only describe it with his new transformation chant. I envy the "Blue Sky." and pursue "His Endless Limit." Vali Lucifer has set Huo Yuhao as his goal, knowing he wouldn''t be able to surpass him, making the manifestation of his Conqueror''s Haki hastened. Every god, who hadn''t made contact with the Dragon Nest, looked at Vali with a shocked expression. They have experienced many shocking things in thest hour, but Vali truly opened their eyes. The new generation of White Dragon Emperor incorporated his Devil''s Origin and Sacred Gear''s prowess, showing them just how powerful the Otherworld''s Power System was. If the sevendies of the 1st Round showed them how Draconic Deus''s natives could cultivate Douluo Dalu''s path, then Vali showed them how they could attain the Hybrid Path of it. Unknown to them, Vali Lucifer was very dissatisfied with his power. Well, it is mostly self-criticism. "Not enough..." The silver-haired man mumbled to himself. Albion''s voice echoed in Vali''s head. Vali shook his head and denied, "Nah, Albion. Our new form is barely passable." "Huo Yuhao is more refined and dominating." "I couldn''t even imagine how he could reach such fine control and not explode." Albion sighed, "I know." "I just want to try harder..." Vali nced at the position where his opponent Kori used to exist before getting eradicated by his attack. He scoffed because his Longinus Satan Ultimate Smasher was too much for her. That attack was "inherently." created to kill gods in the first ce. "Hmph, Faith System is just So-So." Hemented while walking off the stage, infuriating the Hindu Gods. Shiva''s expression was calm, but deep inside, he was enraged. He looked at Vali Lucifer and said, "It seems my vision wasn''t wrong." "We must stop the Dragon Nest at all costs." "Indeed, we were too naive before and underestimated Dragon Nest due to our pride." A voice reached Shiva''s ear. Shive recognized this voice at any time in the beginning. He didn''t even have to turn around. "It''s you, Bayani." He said with a reassuring tone. Bayani is a skinny-looking man with an unkempt white beard and hair. His eyes are deep brown, giving off an extraordinary feeling. And He wore a simple white robe to cover his tan skin-sticking to bone''s physique. Bayani is one of the Faith System''s users, but unlike Kori, he was strong from the beginning. He was known as a genius who could recite sutra and dharma from a young age, creating his legend in the supernatural society, but not many people know him. Even the gods, known for their omnipotence, couldn''t recognize this skinny man. He just appeared out of thin air and maybe was born with it. "Long time no see, Lord Shiva." Bayani bowed respectfully. "I''vee out of my seclusion." "Should I fight the next match?" Hearing Bayani''s question, Shiva calmly shook his head and returned, "No, you don''t have to." "Even though I''m eager to stop the Dragon Nest, we are not the only ones fighting them." "Right, Indra?" Indra frowned but didn''t say anything. Since Loki and Shiva had sent their representatives onto the stage, he was the only one left to send one himself. After this, gods would jump onto the stage and enter a fight. The three beginning matches concluded to test the Dragon Nest''s power. Another three matches for them to adapt. And thest four is their chance to grasp victory. Even though Indra knew it was wishful thinking, he could only hope the Dragon Nest wouldn''t be too overbearing. He still remembered the young monstrousdy who killed his son. Clenching his fist, Indra calmed down and said, "Go." A shadow flew out,nding on the arena. Everyone looked at the shadow and couldn''t help but gaze back at Indra. It is because the shadow is a look-alike of Indra himself. A shadow is a man in battle armor, adorning a war helmet on his head and wielding a silver-colored vajra in his right hand. They could see faint lightning dancing around the shadow''s body. Yet, in the Dragon Nest''s area. No one was interested in this shadow. "Teacher, are you going to fight that thing?" Qianye Ying''er asked while stuffing a red cherry into her mouth. She also fed one to Scathach. Scathach nced at the shadow and rolled her eyes, "Meh." "Too weak." "No substance." "Not worth it. Unless that thing wanted to kill me with boredom." Qianye Ying''er giggled andmented, "Those fellows would vomit blood due to anger if they heard you, you know? Hahaha~!" Even then, Qianye Ying''er knew Scathach wasn''t bluffing. When the purple-haired God yer says the enemy is far too weak for her enjoyment, she means it. Well, it''s not like there are that many people who could satisfy her battle-hungry nature. Qianye Ying''er counted around twenty people or so who could spar with Scathach without getting bullied in exchange, herself included. After forming their God Seats, Qianye Ying''er was confident in her abilities. She also possessed more Concepts and Laws than Scathach. "Yuhao, can I send someone to the arena? Don''t worry. She is strong enough to handle that thing." Huo Yuhao was observing the dimensional gap and replied, "Sure." "Just don''t let her fail. I can''t lose my face after bragging earlier, right?" Scathach smiled and assured him, "You''ll be surprised." "Valerie, go." A young woman with short blonde hair and red eyes appeared from thin air, wing out bloody dimensions. Drops of blood rotated and slowly fully revealed her body. She''s no more than 169 centimeters with big breasts and slender yet fair legs. She might be in her early twenties or younger than that, wearing Dragon Nest''s specialbat suit of Scathach''s unit, a crimson robe coupled with deep purple thigh-hugging leggings. A blue dragon''s head logo with two spears crossed seemingly embedded on the back of her robe. If her beauty alone is "keenly." described as a pleasant sight, wearing thisbat suit captures her valiant magnificence and enhances her charm as a hybrid of Vampire and Human. Valerie Tepes is Dhampir. She was abused and forced to work for years, to the point she experienced bacsh when her faction knew she possessed Longinus: Sephiroth Graal. Sephiroth Graal is a Sacred Gear with endless power, allowing her to revive someone through the mystery of life and soul. But using it too much would consume her soul, making Vrie experience countless horror. But thanks to Scathach''s arrival at the Tepes''s Territory not too long ago, Valerie Tepes sessfully shattered her fate and became strong enough to control Sacred Gear''s bacsh. "Progenitor, give me a few seconds." Valeria Tepes doesn''t want to let Scathach down. Scathach chuckled, "If you can''t finish that thing in a few seconds, I''ll increase your core training by a hundredfold." Valerianded on the stage and froze like a statue when hearing Scathach''s words. "M-Me and my big mouth..." She looked at Indra''s shadow and mumbled, "I won''t hold back and do my best." Huo Yuhao yawned and said, "Third match. Starts." SWOOSH! Indra''s shadow rushed toward Valerie, only to find the surrounding stage wrapped by a blood-colored field. The sky above the arena changed from bright blue to gloomy gray, releasing an eerie feeling. Valeria''s red eyes turned incredibly cold and borderline emotionless. A golden cup appeared in her right hand, and a bloody cross appeared in the other. Both released an intense ray. "Sorry..." Her calm voice echoed in the arena. "I don''t have time for this, so..." "Could you die for me?" BOOM! The arena exploded as Valerie walked out of the stage, revealing a bloody crater with Indra''s shadows dismembered into a thousand pieces. "3rd Match, Dragon Nest''s victory." Huo Yuhao announced while looking at Valerie Tepes in surprise. Not many people notice, but they should have caught how Valeriebines Soul and Life Maniption, creating a Death Whisper that sucks one''s life force. And Indra''s shadow is made by his divinity, which means he could feel his shadow''s death. "How..." The corner of Indra''s mouth seeped with blood. "How did Dragon Nest make so many monsters?" Chapter 211: Draconic Deuss End (9) Chapter 211: Draconic Deus''s End (9) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 208 --- Valerie''s mystical might surprise Huo Yuhao for a second, as she could drain one''s soul and vitality through her Sacred Gear and Martial Soul. And that bloody cross is probably the reason she could manifest the power of death despite not having its quality. She has potential, but this won''t work against individuals that have high resistance to these particr aspects. Or they are born with the element of Soul and Vitality, making the attack pointless as it bes their nutrients. In the eyes of these Gods, Valerie seemingly appeared to be a monstrous existence. But for Huo Yuhao, she''s still an unpolished diamond. After all, his eyes could see far more than God''s senses. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Third round, 3rd match, it''s Dragon Nest''s victory again." "How boring. Can you guys put up a fight already?" Hemented with a sigh. Even though Huo Yuhao''s words sound irritating, the opposing Gods couldn''t do anything about it. As time passes, the more they realize that the Dragon Nest is nothing of their thoughts. This organization isn''t Khaos Brigade. The scale, the force, and the foundation they have exceeded their belief by a heavenly leap. It''s not even funny, but they could onlyugh in their tears. The opposing Gods moved their gazes to Loki, Shiva, and Indra. Their stares are "literally." filled with hope. Of course, Loki, Shiva, and Indra could feel the peer pressure on their shoulders. As an Evil God, Loki doesn''t care much andughs mockingly at how ironically these people are. These righteous Gods openly condemned him back then, yet now they fawned over him. However, Shiva and Indra are different. Their nature is the God of Bnce and King of God, so these Gods'' hopeful expectation fed their powers. Shiva frowned inside as he didn''tment, maintaining his calm look. Indra clenched his hand hard and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, looking at Valerie Tepes with an unreadable expression. He calmed down and began to put pieces together, nning something. ''He has returned.'' Shiva thought while looking at Indra, sighing in relief. ''We still have hopes.'' In the sky, thunderclouds suddenly gathered and caused Huo Yuhao to frown slightly. A wisp of ominous aura fell into the Colosseum, causing a choking pressure to befall everyone. "Hmph, small thing." Huo Yuhao huffed, flicking his finger and erasing the aura. He looked at the sky and taunted, "You can''t wait anymore, can''t you?" "You have been eyeing us for a while now." The sky trembled as if it responded to Huo Yuhao and then returned to normal. Huo Yuhao wasn''t dumb because he could sense the ominous aura that had influenced several opposing Gods, mainly on Loki''s side. Loki was stunned, blinking in surprise andughing even more. He heard a voice in his head, a powerful, ancient, deep voice! ''Do you want power?'' ''If you want it... Kekeke, I can give it to you.'' The voice whispered into Loki''s mind, making thetter more excited. Huo Yuhao told Evo to scan the origin of this ominous presence. [Scanning...] [The origin of this ominous presence is Cursed God from the confined universe, Host] Evo stated calmly. ''Oh, Is there further information?'' Huo Yuhao observed Loki, whoughed like a madman and caught everyone''s attention. [The Cursed God is in the same realm as an entity like the Nether God, a being who could traverse between the universe and possess immense power] [The Cursed God mainly used the "Curse Technique." which originated from his ne, but his utmost achievement is probably the "Godly Killing Curse Technique."] [The Godly Killing Curse Technique is a technique that could affect even one''s destiny, albeit temporarily. However, it''s proven ineffective if your divinity is higher] ''That''s not the only information about Cursed God, right?'' Huo Yuhao guessed immediately. [Correct] Evo replied monotonously. [In my database, the Cursed God always brings his partners everywhere] [The Cursed God''s wives, the Goddess of Corruption, and the Goddess of Belief. are a powerful entity themselves rivaling top-tiered 1st ss Gods if we used Douluo Dalu''s Tiering System] Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and mumbled inwardly, ''What''s my probability of winning?'' [100% without a doubt] Evo answered immediately. [However, I advised you not to look down on the Cursed God and his partners. They must have a n] "I know." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. After experiencing a long war in the Everlith Universe, Huo Yuhao wasn''t so dumb to look down on his enemy. The foolish move one could make in a war, even if it''s a sure-win war, is to look down on others. Many rulers have made this mistake once they tasted countless victory streaks. And regret is the only thing they can taste after it. The Cursed God seemed to know that Huo Yuhao''s subordinates couldn''t get influenced as they possess high-level, if not undying, loyalty toward him. His only choice is to influence Loki and others. And from the look of it, Shiva and Indra are resisting his influence. "Not bad. Let''s see if Shiva and Indra can endure long enough." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, thinking about the new direction of Draconic Deus''s future. If Shiva and Indra could endure the influence of the Cursed God, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t treat them too badly. He''d revive their fallenrades and family with the power of Valerie Tepes''s Sephiroth Graal. But that still depends on their performance. Loki''s aura suddenly surged with power, pushing everyone around him like ragdolls. He grinned at Huo Yuhao and made a neck-slitting gesture with his finger. Huo Yuhao chuckled as this attempt to threaten him was childish in his eyes. "Send your next fighter, Loki." Hemented lightly. "Show me what you got." Loki blinked in confusion at Huo Yuhao''s confidence as he chanted something silently, creating aplex-looking magic circle in the now-recovering arena. It was a summoning circle. "What''s he nning?" Odin looked at Loki with aplicated expression. A red hand suddenly wed out of the summoning circle, grabbing the arena tightly. ROAR!! Odin''s eyes widened as he shouted, "Don''t tell me!" "Loki, you bastard! How dare you perform ck Magic on Surtr!!" As everyone was awed by the fiery red hand, the entire being shot up andnded in the area. The surrounding ground shook violently, and everyone could see a towering 100 meters tall fire giant. The fire giant wore this weird-looking flesh armor, squirming in pain as the heat from the giant continued to burn it. Yet the flesh armor is still being held together by a golden chain. A giant sword made of ck me struck the arena, burning everything around Surtr. "CURSED GOD''S ENHANCEMENT!" Loki roared, mming his hand against a magic circle. The Cursed God''s power traveled from his veins to Surtr''s body, causing the fiery red giant to transform into a grotesque blue giant with decaying flesh and some see-through bones. ROAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!! "Surtr, no!" Odin shouted, feeling his heart distressed in helplessness. The protector of the burningnd of Muspelheim has been corrupted and fell onto Loki''s grasp. Odin didn''t know how Loki achieved this because he knew Surtr wouldn''t be affected by Loki''s scheme unless something horrible happened without everyone knowing. Thor''s body shed with lightning, grunting furiously at Loki. He wished he could have dropped to the arena and beat Loki himself. Unfortunately for Thor, Loki has exceeded him in power and authority. Huo Yuhao contacted someone he trusted with telepathy and said, "Beat him up." "If possible, sever Loki''s connection with Surtr." "Okay, Master." A voice echoed in the Dragon Nest''s Unit. A woman in icy battle armornded on the arena, brandishing her naginata with divine light. "Murong Qianxue, Sub-Vice Leader of the Dragon Nest." She dered with a cold tone. "Ready to fight." Chapter 212: Draconic Deuss End (10) Chapter 212: Draconic Deus''s End (10) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 209 --- Murong Qianxue brandished her martial soul and unleashed a powerful Divine Might she had cultivated. The naginata in her slender hand gained a freezing quality as the surrounding arena, even half of the Colosseum, underwent a harsh winter. Surtr''s red me raged in the snowstorm, burning furiously. The legendary divine sword L?vateinn released an intense jet-ck fire and created a small domain around him. Even then, these mes barely resisted Murong Qianxue''s Divine Winter Domain. As the Fire Giant, who received the influence of the outer dimension''s power of the Cursed God, Surtr still couldn''t rival Murong Qianxue. However, He''s seemingly equal to the Great Red, or full-powered Ophis, before her training with Scatahch, meaning his power is at the very top of Draconic Deus. Even Shiva and Indra couldn''t help but frown when sensing Surtr''s sheer pressure, thinking just how powerful the Cursed God was. Not even a few minutes pass, and they are "already." drawn to take the Cursed God''s offer. As long as they could defeat the Dragon Nest(Huo Yuhao) and reim their world''s peace, paying some price isn''t a problem. They haven''t realized how ironic their train of thought is. Surtr roared angrily and gazed at Murong Qianxue like a predator eyeing its prey. Murong Qianxue didn''t care much, summoning a ck-colored disk from the depth of her soul. The disk released an intense green lightning, dancing around her body harmoniously. With a flick of her fingers, the disk separated into a thousand pieces and surrounded her like an invisible barrier interconnected by a green lightning cage. "Third Round, 4th Match." Huo Yuhao''s bored voice announced. "Begins..." Surtr is "seemingly." possessed by savage instinct and stomped his massive leg to the arena continuously. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Under the rapid strikes, the Colosseum trembled slightly. It was such a terrifying sight, witnessing the might of a mutated fire giant destroying something. Loki grinned from ear to ear, not expecting this massive increase of power when the Cursed God''s energy got used. He''s also a God, but he couldn''t do this instantly. Marvelling Surtr''s power, everyone forgets about the Dragon Nest''s bizarre achievements for a second. Then, Murong Qianxue brought them back to reality. A shriek suddenly echoed in the arena and was soon followed by a loud bang. BAM! SWOOOOOSH!! The ice demoness appeared before everyone''s eyes. Murong Qianxue now wore a blue-colored yaksha mask, which had two sharp horns and two sharp fangs. Her eyes were framed by the mask''s holes, glowing with ice-cold light. When Scathach saw this transformation, she narrowed her eyes andmented, "Oh, Qianxue reached this stage?" "Toplete an Inner Demon Mask with such detail, her Spirit Circuits probably evolved after reaching God-level. No, her Universal Breathing is also soundless, synergizing well with her body." Scathach rubbed her chin and smiled, "I thought Liu Mei was the only one who could reach this stage, but Ice Demoness''s loyalty rivaled her pride, huh?" It''s not a secret that Murong Qianxue''s loyalty toward Huo Yuhao is nearly boundless. No, it was fanatical, like Qianye Ying''er and most other female members of the Dragon Nest. However, unlike them, Murong Qianxue''s martial soul could bring an infinite source of energy due to this undying loyalty. She''s an Oni Warrior who followed her master with a firm Warrior''s code. Huo Yuhao''s words are like the Divine Mandate for her, and fulfilling his wish is as good as achieving nirvana. Everyone awakened from shock as Surtr crashed onto the arena, destroying it into smithereens. Murong Qianxue stepped into the air, watching the fiery blue giant indifferently. After all, Huo Yuhao ordered her to beat Surtr up and sever Loki''s connection. After bing a God-level Cultivator, Murong Qianxue could sense something deeper than when she was a Title Douluo and Wild God. Surtr''s soul is currently struggling. Well, suffering is a better word as the Cursed God''s influence drilled through his soul. Murong Qianxue waved her hand and summoned a naginata, throwing it at Surtr. "Ice Fall..." Her emotionless voice dropped. BOOM! An icy tornado formed in the sky, descending toward Surtr. "WAKE UP!" Loki ordered through their connections. Surtr woke up from the deep crater and tried to dodge Murong Qianxue''s attack, but how could it be so simple? As 1st ss God, Murong Qianxue''s attack is "literally." enhanced by 4th Dimensional Energy and Authority, she could rip through space and time fabric, freezing everything in endless winter. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! The icy tornado tore Surtr''s back, revealing his bulging blue muscle. "Freeze." Shemanded, causing flowers of ice to spread on Surtr''s back. A warm vapor suddenly appeared, surprising Murong Qianxue slightly. "M..." A crooked voicees from Surtr''s mouth. "Muspelheim''s Core..." A ball of moltenva abruptlyva, washing the arena in "extremely." hot temperature. Murong Qianxue frowned and scoffed, "You want to y with fire against me?" "Hmph! You''re not worthy!" A freezing divine presence exploded and shed with Surtr''s Muspelheim''s Core. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Fiery volcanoes were swept over by fierce winter, causing explosions one after another. BAM! BAM! BAM! CLANK! Surtr and Murong Qianxue shed with their weapons, creating sparks in the area. The massive divine sword was chipped by frost-coated naginata, having several cracks with ice on them. Everyone was "quickly." drawn into this fight. Every time the two monsters fought, a ripple in the fabric space was evident, and shockwaves washed through the arena. Surtr tried to catch up with Murong Qianxue''s speed but failed because of the stature difference. Murong Qianxue suddenly disappeared and grabbed Surtr''s feet, mming left and right like a ragdoll. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Infusing her winter divinity into Surtr''s body, Murong Qianxue prevented the fire giant from healing. It was effective because their attribute is arch nemesis. Loki''s jaw dropped in excitement, thinking his creation enhanced by Cursed God''s power could rival the Dragon Nest''s Ice Demoness. And oh boy, how wrong Loki was. All this time, Murong Qianxue hasn''t even used her Spirit Skills. So, let''s not mention her full power. Murong Qianxue fought Surtr for five minutes, beating him from blue to purple. "Found it." She suddenly said, grasping the lightning disk "1st Spirit Skill: Thunder Call." "2nd Spirit Skill: Holy Aura." "Fusion..." Murong Qianxue clenched her fist and summoned thunderclouds. "Strike him down." ROAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!! Surtr roared at the sky, watching a bolt of bright green lightning strike him like heaven''s judgment. He swung his sword but didn''t expect the lightning to pass through and hit his chest. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! "More, more..." Murong Qianxue kept clenching her fist. KACHA!! The sound of bone breaking entered Murong Qianxue''s ears, but it didn''t stop her. Murong Qianxue mercilessly threw her divine judgment, punishing Surtr with ten thousand lightning strikes. Everyone shuddered at the thought of experiencing this. And soon, the Surtr turned into a charred fire giant. BAM! Its massive body fell onto the arena, motionless. Murong Qianxue shed quickly and stabbed her naginata fast, piercing Surtr''s head like it was nothing. "Sever!" COUGH! Loki coughed a mouthful of blood, watching Murong Qianxue with disbelief. He has cast Divine Magic: Destiny Bond on Surtr, but this woman broke it. Loki could still ept the Dragon Nest for their bizarreness, but Divine Magic was "actually." different. It was a field Loki was most familiar with, and if not, he wouldn''t experience otherworldly power using his magic. ''Be patient, Loki. We just tested my influence on that little fire giant.'' A voice whispered into Loki''s head. ''You still have more chances, kekeke~!'' Loki nodded and returned to his usual calmness, "Now that I know Fire Giant could ept your power without much problem." "I wonder if we could do more on Dragons and Gods." ''Don''t worry. Your opportunity would appear sooner than you will ever expect.'' Murong Qianxue pulled her naginata, extracting a hand-sized red crystal with Surtr''s soul. She looked down at the corrupted corpse and froze it, turning it into ice clouds of dust that were "quickly." devoured by a void. ''Missionplete.'' Murong Qianxue nced at Huo Yuhao''s direction. Huo Yuhao smiled and responded, ''Good job.'' "Third Round, 4th Match." "Dragon Nest''s victory." "Well, don''t you guys feel this is more boring than earlier?" "Why don''t we spice it up a little?" Huo Yuhao chuckled wickedly. "You may bring three fighters next and count it as three matches." "And Dragon Nest will send two-!" "YOU''RE LOOKING DOWN US TOO MUCH, HUO YUHAO!" Indra shouted at the top of his lungs. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and added, "You don''t let me finish." "You can bring three figures. And it counts as three matches." "And fine, I''ll only send one fighter instead of two." "This is my way of looking down on your pitiful performance." Chapter 213: Draconic Deuss End (11) Chapter 213: Draconic Deus''s End (11) I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 210 --- "This is my way of looking down on your pitiful performance..." Huo Yuhao''s nd-! No, bored words echoed in the Colosseum and shocked everyone. His royal blue eyes gazed at them as if they were worthless clowns. Indra''s body is shaking, his anger about losing a family member. The anger of losing subordinates. And The anger of being looked down on by Huo Yuhao. All this umtion of anger in his heart erupted at this very moment. Indra red at Huo Yuhao as his entire body released an extreme surge of electricity. The Divine Aura exploded like no tomorrow, shaking Heaven and Earth. "HUO YUHAO! I''LL NEVER FORGET THIS HUMILIATION!!" Indra roared at the sky. Huo Yuhao dug his ears casually, "What a clown." This small amount of aura and killing intent aren''t enough to make Huo Yuhao nervous. Shiva shook his head bitterly at Indra''sshing and walked toward the King of Gods. He patted Indra''s shoulders and said, "Calm down." "He wanted to rile up our emotions, don''t get caught on to it." Indra brushed Shiva''s hand away and said indifferently, "I know." The dignified look in Indra''s eyes hadn''t changed, but a hideous quality flickered inside them. This quality was unnoticed by others. Still, people from the Dragon Nest didn''t followmon sense. Yae was writing something in her notebook when several threads of destiny connected to the Draconic Deus snapped. It was a sign of someone defying their fated future, detaching themselves from the protection of nar Consciousness. The fox deity looked down on the arena and sighed, "What a shame." "If his mentality was strong enough, arge chance and fortune awaited him after this. If his breaking point is this low, he''s not worth cultivating." Yae''s eyes flickered with starry effect as she giggled, "Well, he can still be a pawn for Huo Yuhao." "You''re nning an evil thing again..." Huo Yun''er couldn''t help but sigh. The motherly fox patted her forehead helplessly, staring at her sly mentor with unexinable emotion. Thanks to Yae, Huo Yun''er discovered her path and broke the shackle that limited her former self. It''s just that Yae is too yful. Huo Yun''er might have be a deity that governed over Luck, Illusion, Fire, and Truth, but Yae is her mentor. The fox deity has more experience in viewing others'' futures. "What evil?" Yae pouted adorably. "Can''t you see this cute mentor of yours is doing nothing~!" Huo Yun''er sighed, "Sure, sure, I believe you." "Hmph, now that you know." Yae nodded, sipping a ss of wine with an evil smile on her beautiful face. "..." Huo Yun''er. Yae, At least don''t smile too tantly! Huo Yun''er nced at Huo Yuhao and saw the silhouette of a woman hugging him. "That must be the Primordial Ink Devil Hao''er told us." Shemented solemnly. "Indeed, that woman is quite powerful," Yae added calmly. She wasn''t uncultured about Everlith Universe that Huo Yuhao conquered in his emergency mission. That ce is also filled with danger, making Yae frown as Huo Yuhao''s power is unreadable from her viewpoint. If Huo Yun''er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er current power are "roughly." represented as an endless sea. Then, Huo Yuhao''s power is akin to the boundless starry sky. Scathach warmed up and swung her spears gently, creating a whistling wind. Her actions caught everyone''s attention as the bloody aura filled with terrifying killing intent washed them. Although the Dragon Nest''s allied members weren''t "directly." targeted by this aura because Scathach dispersed her aura to all directions, they still gasped in disbelief. "Fuck, that woman isn''t followingmon sense..." Odin bit his nail in disbelief. Thor nodded in agreement and mumbled, "She''s a monster." All hairs on Thor''s body stand up when sensing Scathach''s aura. It makes him and others wonder just how many people have this purple-haired woman killed. "Yuhao, I''m bored~!" Scathachined to the Leader of the Dragon Nest, rendering everyone speechless. "I wanna fight!" "Let me fight!" Huo Yuhao put on a wry smile as he responded, "Go on, Shishou." "Three versus One, it''s all yours." Scathach nodded and smirked, "Umu, let''s see if they could make my blood boil." It sounds arrogant, but no one could retort Scathach''s confidence statement. Even Indra, Shiva, and Loki instinctively nced at each other solemnly. The Anti-Dragon Nest Faction couldn''t send ordinary-powerful people in the next round. The previous four matches have taught them a lesson of expecting the Dragon Nest to send the monster into the arena. Qianye Ying''er. Vali Lucifer. Valerie Tepes. And Murong Qianxue. Four of them alone have surpassed their expectations by a leap. It''s not good because the stronger Dragon Nest was, the more gloomy the future for them. Scathach stepped onto the arena and waved her hand, sending a wave of runes to fix and fortify the ground. "Hurry up! You''re going to make me die out of boredom." Loki gritted his teeth and called someone over. It was a beautiful woman with a tall figure and long hair of mixed colors of red and blue. She got dressed in a robe with white and ck colors. "Father." The woman kneeled. "Hell, don''t fight this power and ept it." Loki ced his magic pattern-covered hand on his daughter''s head. Hel epted her father''s order without a fuss, waiting silently. Suddenly, Hel roared painfully and attracted everyone''s attention. "ARGH!" BOOOOOOM!! Hel released murky energy from her body, creating a pir of dark energy that rose to the sky. Her red-blue hair turned ck and white, separated in the middle. Half of her beautiful face burned, bing hideous. Hel''s clothes turned into dust and merged back into a pure white dress. Shiva and Indra frowned at this sight. This Loki. He has no morals, even for his own daughter. Shiva hesitated before saying, "Bayani, go." "This is yourst mission... Show them the power of our Faith System." Bayani nced at Hel and Loki, then nodded at Shiva. "Leave it to me, My Lord." An invisible force enveloped Bayani''s body, making him look like a sage. Indra observed his subordinates and suddenly felt a tap on the back. It was one of his former vanguard, the Great Victorious Fighting Buddha, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong. "Let Nezha fight." The Youkai said. "Like Xuanzang and me, he has ascended and be Buddha too." "His power also surpassed me. Even though it was quite ironic because Dragon Nest''s Universal Breathing Technique is one of the reasons for Nezha''s explosive growth." Sun Wukong added bitterly. Indra was about to say something when a young boy who wore clothing reminiscent of a lotus flower appeared beside Sun Wukong. "God Indra, let me fight. Even though the Dragon Nest has shown many monstrous feats, given to their origin, I will show them the power of our world." Nezha bowed politely. "Very well." Indra could feel the young boy''s power rivaled himself, a King of God. Hel, Bayani, and Nezha walked into the arena. They faced the infamous God yer, Scathach, seriously. Scathach waved her spear and checked her opponent, smiling a little. "Not bad." "It seems your Gods didn''t send you here to y around." "Weaker than I expected, though." She sneered with disappointment. "How dare you insult my father..." Hel grumbled angrily. Bayani maintained his calm expression. He''s in aplete zen. Meanwhile, Nezha only smiled and cupped his hand, "God yer, Scathach, please advise me." "Yuhao, start the match." Scathach rested Gae Bolg Alternative on her shoulder. Huo Yuhao smiled and announced, "Third Round, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Matches start!" Before everyone could react, Scathach waved her hand at lightning speed and sent a red sh toward Hel''s chest. "Gae Bolg..." Scathach''s emotionless voice reverberated in the Colosseum. BAM! Hel couldn''t react as the attack was too fast and was pinned onto the ground by Scathach''s Gae Bolg Alternative. A gaping hole appeared on her chest, gushing out with dark blood. "One done," Scathach said casually. "Two left." Chapter 214: Draconic Deuss End (12) Chapter 214: Draconic Deus''s End (12) --- Chapter 211 --- Bayani and Nezha felt the cold sweat run down their backs. They couldn''t even react when Scathach threw her spear and killed Hel on the spot. This absurdness sends a chill on their spines. "The Legendary Gae Bolg shouldn''t get underestimated," Nezha mumbled while using Universal Breathing Technique. "Touki: Great Buddha Fire Manifestation." A bright white aura covered Nezha''s body and enhanced his base strength with a qualitative leap. Nezha summoned a Fire-Tipped Spear and Wind-Fire Wheels, two of four Divine Weapons he possessed. He grasped the spear and ignited the rotating wheels, catching them on fire. Bayani chanted dharma and released green energy like Kori when she fought Vali Lucifer. Nevertheless, Bayani''s is more pure and thicker than Kori''s. The green energy turned into four arms, floating and releasing a profound aura. Bayani inhaled a deep breath, gazing at Scathach calmly. "Let''s go, Prince Nezha." He said while stepping forward, leaving an afterimage. Nezha nodded and rushed forward. Bolts of lightning shot up, creating a flicker of white and green light in the arena. CLANK! BAM! "How unbelievable." Nezhaughed helplessly. Nezha swung his spear and was able to strike Scathach''s head, but to his surprise, her hair seemingly gained ck luster. The same goes for Bayani, who couldn''t believe his eyes. He hasunched a punch with his spiritualist energy, yet a metallic sheen on Scathach''s hand stopped it. "What''s this?" He mumbled in doubt. "It seems simr to Faith System''s Spiritualist Force." Scathach disappeared from their vision as Bayani felt a massive danger from his back. "Spiritualist''s Giant Right Hand!" Bayani roared, expanding one of his energy hands. "Armanent Haki: Emission." Scathach casually sent a palm strike. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Bayani got sent flying by Scathach''s palm strike,nding twenty-five meters away. He coughed a mouthful of blood and felt all his internal organs shift in that exchange. "Wind of Healing..." A green light traveled inside Bayani''s body, healing himpletely. Bayani was about to check Scathach''s position when a violent wind suddenly mmed against his face. "Blood God yer Technique: Head''s Strike." Scathach appeared before Bayani, punching his face mercilessly. BAM! "Touki: Fire Punch!" Nezha appeared and deflected Scathach''s punch. He tried to, but the sheer force behind this punch was too terrifying. "Sir Bayani!" Nezha shouted hurriedly. Bayani sped his hand and chanted, "Spiritualist''s Prayers!" The energy hands behind Bayani sped simultaneously and created a powerful barrier. It received Scathach''s punch and didn''t budge at all. BANG! "Oh?" A surprised look appeared on Scathach''s face. "What about this?" Scathach smiled and pulled her arm,unching an even more powerful punch. Nezha and Bayani''s eyes widened. "This is..." "Beyond previous fighters." "DON''T LOOK DOWN ON MY FATHER!" A roar echoed all of a sudden. Scathach stopped and nced at the supposed dead opponent, sensing another heart beating in her chest. She frowned, "Is it regeneration?" "I crushed her heartpletely, leaving a trace of my divinity." "She dispelled my divinity?" Scathach concluded, sensing the second heart appeared in Hel''s body. It makes her wonder just what kind of power Loki bestowed on his daughter. "Grrr..." Hel grabbed the Gae Bolg Alternative in her chest and pulled it out, ring at Scathach. "Take this back!" The spear flew back at Scathach. Scathach stretched her hand and caught the spear. Hel shed to the God yer''s side and mmed her hand at Scathach. Scathach''s red eyes lit up, dodging the bloody hand of Hel. The God yer observed the change in Hel''s body and released her Blood Divinity, creating a field of ughter. Hel simrly reacted and erected another field of darkness. SWOOSH! The two fields shed fiercely. "Hehehe, taste the power of Cursed God... The Shadow." Lokiughed at Scathach. Just like a shadow, Hel perfectly mimicked every skill/technique Scathach made until now, recing the energy used with Cursed Energy. Although this ability is troublesome, it''s not invincible. Scathach was the legendary warrior queen! Her skills and technique could get copied, but Hel couldn''t possibly imitate her fighting experience. "Copy this then." Scathach summoned Soul Destroying Spear and added Advanced Armament Haki: Inner Destruction. She drove the ck spear to Hel. Hel mimicked Scathach and created a spear made of Cursed Energy,unching the same attack with a simr form. CLANK! The two spears shed and released a metal-shing noise. Hel''s eyes twitched as her spear received this energy and transferred it to her body. BOOM! Hel''s body exploded from inside, shattering everything apart. Scathach turned around, focusing her attention on Nezha and Bayani again. "How dare you..." A hateful voice drilled Scathach''s ear. A powerful gripnded on Scathach''s leg. Hel recovered instantly and tried to throw the God yer away. Scathach somersaulted in the air and grasped Hel''s shoulder, throwing her instead. "Blood God yer Technique: Thousand Flowers." Scathachunched another spear strike. To Scathach''s surprise, Nezha and Bayani prevented her from attacking Hel again. "Spiritualist''s Left Leg Stomp!" "Rotating Universal Rings!" A massive green leg and two chakrams flew at a fast pace. BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Clouds of dust filled up the arena. "Did we get her?" Nezha looked around vigntly. "I can''t sense her presence..." Bayani frowned slightly. Helnded on the arena and touched the ground, expanding the Cursed Energy. "Blood Rain that Pierce Heaven..." The three of them instantly looked up when hearing this line. Scathach hovered in the air, waving her hand down. A drop of blood transforms into Gae Bolg and multiplies by a million, decorating the sky with frightening scenery. Nezha and Bayani felt their heart tighten. "Spiritualist''s Prayer!!" "Touki: Buddha''s Bells!!" "Cursed Magic: Curtain of Darkness!" "elerate 100x." Scathach smiled faintly, basking herself in this bloody sky. Spears akin to raindrops fell one after another, making the three contestants suffer. Nezha got pierced countless times. Still, he tried to avoid vital injuries that affected his mobility. The same goes for Bayani because his back is filled with red spears, making him look like a skinny-looking porcupine. The Spiritualist gritted his teeth and used everything he had to heal. The worst of them all is Hel. Although she used Magic, it wasn''t sufficient to counter Scathach''s attack. As a result, Mel got stabbed all over her body. "Explode." Scathach tightened her fist, exploding the spears. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Three massive blobs of blood expanded in the arena. "Ha... Ha..." Nezha heaved his chest up and down. He used his Touki and Divine Aura to the limit, sessfully escaping. On the other hand, Bayani drew a lot of energy from the Faith System and coughed blood. He nced at Shiva and saw God''s expression be slightly pale. "This is not good. I-! No, we have to end this quickly." He muttered while standing up with difficulty. Everyone could hear his bones cracking and mending at this very moment. Hel wed out of a massive crater, coughing ck blood. She trembled and felt her Life Energy weakened abruptly. It seems the Cursed Energy wasn''tpatible with her. The Divina Aura in her body and Life Energy bestowed by her mother shed with Cursed God''s influence. After all, Loki hastily used the Cursed God''s Power without calcting the power Hel could wield. Unlike Surtr, Hel''s body barely met the standard to get enhanced by Cursed God''s Power. Scathach looked at them andmented, "It seems you guys couldn''t dance anymore." "What a pity." "I was to get a little serious." "What?!" Everyone was shocked by Scathach''s statement. They thought Scathach was already serious all this time. Pfft, how hrious. Yae pped her hand on the chair continuously, feeling her stomach hurt from their shocked expression. Even Huo Yuhao felt amused by their reaction. "Boy, your talent isn''t bad. Take thisst attack of mine." Scathach said while staring at Nezha. "I''ll spare your life." As for Bayani, Scathach didn''t care. The thin-looking elderly is hanging on in his life and does not possess much raw potential left to train. Hel is a different case. Thanks to her hateful father, Hel wouldn''t return to normal. Her body and soul have been corroded by Cursed God''s Power. "Be grateful. You can open your eyes wide in this life." Scathach activated her Spirit Circuits and summoned the Inner Demon Mask. Yes, a ck mask with a cruel smile, full of carnage. Scathach stomped the ground and generated a repulsive force, sending Nezha, Bayani, and Hel into the air. They tried to run, using every method possible, and it was futile. "Gae Bolg Alternative..." "Soaring Spear of Piercing Death!" Scathach threw three red spears in a row, creating a whistling sound in the Colosseum. As if the red spear''s existence is too godly, the space around it warped, allowing a great force, and stabbed its target mercilessly. Of course, the target won''t just let it happen. "AAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGH! FIGHT!!!" Nezha roared as he released every ounce of Touki and Divine Aura from his body. Bayani closed his eyes and burned his life force. "SPIRITUALIST SACRIFICE!" Hel clenched her body and looked at Loki, hoping for his worried expression. Yet she could only see a disappointed look. Sheughed bitterly inside and screamed outside to vent herst frustration. "FOR MY FATHER!" She erupted the Cursed God''s Power in her body and turned into a wolf, charging at the red spear of Scathach. SWOOSH! KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Scathach turned around, walking out of the arena, as blood rain sttered in the background. The three of them were "crushingly." defeated. Bayani died. Hel got destroyed beyond regeneration could fix. The amount of damagended on her body is too much. Soon there is only dust with faint divinity in the arena. Meanwhile, Nezha. She smiled andmented, "What a lucky brat." Nezha coughed a mouthful of blood a few times and panted as his heart crushed by Scathach''s Anti-Divine Origin. He had long fainted and entered a critical condition. Well, he can still get saved. Huo Yuhaonded in the arena and surprised everyone. He tapped his hand on Nezha''s head and healed the boy, throwing him to Sun Wukong. "Sun Wukong, you know what this meant, right?" He smiled at the Youkai. Sun Wukong smiled back wryly and nodded, leaving the Anti-Dragon Nest Faction alongside Nezha. Huo Yuhao nced at Hel and gathered the dust, cing it in his inventory. He pped his hands and announced, "Well, well, the Third Round, 5th, 6th, and 7th Matches... It''s my Dragon Nest''s victory." "Should we continue, or do you guys want to give up right here, right now?" Hearing Huo Yuhao''s offer, everyone gulped nervously. Huo Yuhao is giving them ast chance. "I''LL NEVER GIVE UP!" Loki and Indra roared at the same time. "Yes, me too." Shiva nodded in agreement, stepping forward. "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, chuckling at their ignorance. "Then,e to the stage and fight!" "This is thest battle to decide your World''s Fate!" Chapter 215: Draconic Deuss End (13) Chapter 215: Draconic Deus''s End (13) (Important Notice: The upload will twice a week from now on!) --- Chapter 212 --- Huo Yuhao''s presence is like a boundless wave. He stepped onto the arena gently, but the effect of thending was enough to send everyone away. In the arena, everyone could see a blue-haired young man who stepped into adulthood. Even though the young man''s handsome and youthful appearance caused females in the area to adore him, the others couldn''t lower their guard. After all, this person was the Leader of the Dragon Nest. He''s the new Biblical God who leads most of humanity, angels, and fallen angels. He''s Ars Goetia who leads all devils of the underworld. He''s the Blue-Eyed Dragon God, Huo Yuhao. A monstrous being from the otherworld, wanting to conquer their homnd. A bright golden blue light enveloped the sky as if it were greeting Huo Yuhao''s presence in the arena. The world trembled violently and waited for their ruler''s order. "Come on the stage, let''s settle this once and for all." Huo Yuhao calmly said, undisturbed by other''s reactions. He gazed at Loki, Shiva, and Indra. "Humph!" Loki snorted indifferently. He stepped into the arena and released a tainted Divine Aura of his, causing the surrounding area to be murky like muddy water. "Let''s go." Shiva also released his Divine Aura. The Presence of Destruction enveloped Shiva''s body, causing the tunic on his body to blow off. Two other images also appeared near Shiva, but their appearances are blurry. Indra closed his eyes and called a lightning strike that hit his body. An armor covered his body, releasing intense electricity and Divine Aura. Huo Yuhao watched them with low interest and nced at Shiva, shaking his head helplessly. It seems the Hindu Gods are desperate. They even sacrificed themselves to be one. No wonder the famous God of Creation and God of Protection from the Hindu Factions didn''t attend this meeting. "Shiva, you..." Indra nced at his fellow Hindu God. Shiva smiled weakly and retorted in a low tone, "We are doing what we can, Indra." "This is our final and desperate attempt to save this world." "Even if we had to pay a huge price," Shiva added, causing Indra to shake his head. Shiva, the God of Destruction, is already strong enough. And he received the power of other Trimurti now. Even Indra felt threatened by Shiva''s power before the power''s transfer, but Shiva was right. It is their final chance! "I will kill you, Huo Yuhao!" Indra summoned his God''s Weapon, Vajra. Huo Yuhao ignored Indra''s worthless threat and summoned a drop of Primordial Ink, brushing against the air with his finger. The Primordial Ink stretched and turned into an ordinary-looking halberd. He waved the halberd around gently and finally struck its bottom part against the arena. He looked at the Anti-Dragon Nest''s Faction and offered, "You guys can also enter the arena." "I''m making it fair for you guys, so Everyone who hasn''t fought could enter the arena." "Kekeke, how arrogant." Lokiughed sinisterly at Huo Yuhao. "You''ll regret this, Huo Yuhao..." Loki waved his hand and told everyone to enter the arena, surrounding Huo Yuhao. Shiva and Indra hesitated for a few milliseconds before ordering their army to surround Huo Yuhao. Soon, the arena was "literally." packed with Hindu Gods'' Armies and mutated creatures. Huo Yuhao''s slim and refined build looks extremely smallpared to them all. As if he was an ant facing a massive ocean wave, but it couldn''t be more wrong! "Record of Ragnarok..." Huo Yuhao emotionlessly announced. "Final Round, Ending Match." "Starts!" ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!! "ATTAAAAAAAAAAACCKKK!" They released their battle cries. SWOOOOOOOOOOSH!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Huo Yuhao watched a massive bull charging at him and stretched his left hand. The bull made contact with Huo Yuhao''s fist and stagnated abruptly. And Huo Yuhao didn''t move in the slightest. A flimsy coat of spiritual energy emitted from Huo Yuhao''s hand. "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist." Huo Yuhao swung his right arm and mmed it against the bull''s head. BAM! "WOOOOO!" A painful groan escaped the bull''s mouth as its massive body crashed out, bing lifeless. "Die!" Someone suddenly tried to sneak behind Huo Yuhao. Unfortunately for the attacker, Huo Yuhao had an extreme vision that wasn''t "actually." limited by physicality. Huo Yuhao nced back and returned, "No, you die." "ARGH!" An immense mental power erupted and blew the attacker''s head off, turning it into a paste. Huo Yuhao gazed at the other attackers. And they experienced the same fate. "Don''t look straight into his eyes!" Shiva warned everyone, creating a barrier that protect allies from mental attacks. Huo Yuhao grasped his halberd and jumped toward Loki''s Mutated Beast Army. He coated his halberd in Advanced Armament Haki and used [Wave''s Creation] from the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves to cover the de of his weapon. "Shadow''s des Wave!" Huo Yuhaonded heavily, creating a crack all over the arena and shaking the Colosseum. His halberd struck the air and created a wave of shadowy des, drowning the enemy in an endless storm. BOOOOOOOOOOM!! Before they could even dodge or react, they were "directly." swallowed by Huo Yuhao''s attack. Indra and Shiva watched this scene with deep frowns as their expression became ck like a pot. "I''ll go and hold him back." Indra shed to Huo Yuhao''s side. nk! Huo Yuhao didn''t even look at Indra and used his halberd to parry his lightning-coated Vajra. "Huo Yuhao!" Indra roared, utilizing the Divine Aura in his body. Indra created an afterimage and pounced at Huo Yuhao. To his surprise, the Vajra passed through Huo Yuhao''s body. "Shit-!" Huo Yuhao''s body disappeared before Indra''s eyes. He got weed with a flurry of lightning instead. "3000 Lighting Movements." Huo Yuhao appeared behind Indra and kicked him on the back. The sheer force behind Huo Yuhao''s kick caused the space between Indra and him to boil, generating a small yet powerful explosion. We are talking about a kick that could blow a literal. BOOOOOOOOM! Indra crashed several hundred meters away, embedding himself into the Colosseum Walls. He felt pain all over his body. "Cursed Binds!" Loki''s Magic Circles surrounded Huo Yuhao and created a cage. "Magic and Cursed God''s Power, huh?" Huo Yuhao breathed in and utilized the Demonic Powers inside his body. "Then, what about this..." "Destruction X Spatial Magic: Punctured Dimension." Crimson and Silver Energy erupted from Huo Yuhao''s palm as a seventh-circled white magic circle shot out an incredibly bright ray. The ray shed against Loki''s Magic Circle, eating it from the inside. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Loki staggered in disbelief as his Cursed Binds failed. Huo Yuhao looked at Loki''s disbelief expression and shook his head internally. It seemed only the Great Red understood the extraordinary prowess of Draconic Deus''s Magic. Draconic Deus''s Magic might look weak because of the problem with its input and output. However, it also allows the wielder to bend Magic Power creatively without much of a limit. When someone learns enough, even ordinary-attribute magic like [Slip] and [Dispel] could be dangerous. Just imagine a Magic that causes someone to slip infinitely, applying to air, making it harder for anyone to attack the caster. Or dispel that cancel any powers. It sounds like a nightmare. For Loki, that is. Huo Yuhao didn''t care andnded in the arena, starting another mass ughter. He moved without leaving a shadow and attacked without a trace, perfectly massacring the army of Anti-Dragon Nest. Swift. And Brutal. Huo Yuhao''s polearm mastery and movement show its might. He killed ten people in one attack, dodging their counterattacks with ease. CLANK! Huo Yuhao''s halberd was about to kill someone when a barrier made of Divine Aura protected the target. The sound of metal shing against metal echoed on the battlefield. "Heh..." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes lit up slightly. Shiva used the power of other Trimurti, protecting the army with an invisible Divine Shield. He also has prepared the following attack. SWOOOOSH! An arrow flew and shed to Huo Yuhao''s forehead. It should be a sure-kill attack because Shiva poured a massive force into it. BAM! Huo Yuhao stretched his hand and grabbed the arrow, leaving Shiva and others speechless. He casually catches the arrow fired by the God of Destruction and doesn''t move an inch. "Your will is pitifully weak." Huo Yuhaomented casually. He stared at the arrow in his hand and mocked, "A will in attack is important. It shows one''s determination." "To win, to destroy, and to protect. But your arrowcked that because you only want to end this without meaning." Huo Yuhao bounced his halberd and attached a string made of energy to it. cing the used arrow into the string, Huo Yuhao aimed at Shiva and smirked, "Shiva, what a loser you are." Swoosh! BAM! The arrow flew back at Shiva. The God of Destruction''s eyes widened because the force behind this arrow was countless times stronger than earlier. Shiva''s mask of calmness was "quickly." reced with nervousness. He used the Divine Power of Protection, manifesting a sevenyered barrier to defend against the arrow. CRACK! The arrow punctured the firstyer of the barrier and continued to the rest. Shiva broke a cold sweat when he saw the arrow stop at thest barrier and heaved a sigh of relief inside. Not even a secondter, Shiva''s smile froze. Huo Yuhao abruptly teleported before Shiva''s eyes and kicked the arrow heavily. "Get down." He said indifferently. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! The Colosseum shook violently as the God of Destruction kneeled on the area with a crater below him. The earth is seemingly sunken because of Huo Yuhao''s kick. Cough! Shiva coughed a mouthful of blood, looking very pale. "Disappointing as expected." Huo Yuhao looked down on him. BOOM! A murky, dark missilended on them. "DIE, DIE, DIE!" Loki frenziedly shouted. Huo Yuhao shook his head and grabbed Shiva by the neck, throwing the God of Destruction at the dark missile. "You..." Shiva was speechless. The God of Destruction was "quickly." bombarded by Loki''s Cursed Magic Missiles and received substantial damage. He wanted to protect himself by erecting the God of Protection''s Shield, but the Cursed God''s influence corroded his body. BAM! Indra arrived at the arena again andunched a punch at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao raised his elbow and received the punch, redirecting the force with a frontal kick. To his surprise, Indra dodged with his lightning-like reaction and sted a powerful storm into the spot. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The storm ragged the arena, attacking friend and foe mercilessly. Indra''s eyes released a flickering lightning as he shed with Huo Yuhao continuously. His Vajra was coated with wind and lightning, giving off his title as the God of Storm. However, Huo Yuhao doesn''t take Indra seriously. Using Observation Haki, he could see several future paths and dodged ordingly. Not to mention, with [Spatial Authority], Indra''s attacks couldn''t touch him. Huo Yuhao twisted space and time infinitely, creating an invisibleyer between him and Indra. Not only is this "invisible." the barrier protected him from physical attacks, but even the Divinity of Indra couldn''t pierce through it. Unless Indra possesses [Spatial Authority] like him, he couldn''t attack Huo Yuhao. Not now, not in forever! Loki seized this chance and created a massive summoning circle, causing almost every God in the area to tremble. The Great Red(Rose) and the Ouroboros Dragon(Ophis) felt a despicable sensation in the atmosphere. They instinctively frowned and nced at Loki''s summoning circle. "This is unpleasant..." Rose mumbled. "This ugly..." Ophis snorted. "666(Trihexa)!" Zeus roared, feeling threatened. Since trampling over his father, Zeus has never been this nervous before. In Draconic Deus, besides Gods and supernatural beings, three creatures lived beyond norm and order. They are the Trio of Bnce, one sage once said. Ophis, the Dragon God, who represents Infinity, Chaos, and Nothingness, is known as the Ouroboros Dragon and the Infinite Dragon God! Great Red, also known as the Apocalypse Dragon, the True Red Dragon God Emperor, True Dragon, and the Dragon of Dragons, was the strongest Dragon residing in the Dimensional Gap. And finally, a final creature. 666 (Trihexa) is a legendary creature known as the Apocalyptic Beast and Emperor Beast of Apocalypse. It is the Beast recorded in the Book of Revtion. Trihexa is the embodiment of living disaster. Not many people know, but the previous Biblical God wasted so much of his strength only to seal Trihexa. Yes, he couldn''t kill Trihexa for some reason. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRR!!! A beastly, gnarly roar reverberated in the Colosseum. Even the surrounding area of the Reverse side of the world trembled. A limb stretched out of the summoning circle,nding on the arena. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! "Destroy... Everything!" An emotionless voice was "forcibly." transmitted to everyone. Far, far away. Trihexa destroyed the forbidden seals embedded by the previous Biblical God and crashed its body against Loki''s summoning circle. CRACK! BOOM! The pathway between the sealing area and the Colosseum is torn apart by Trihexa''s aura, making Huo Yuhao in the arena narrow his eyes slightly. Huo Yuhao seized the iing Emperor Beast of Apocalypse andmented, "No wonder Yeshua could only seal this thing." Trihexa had the appearance of a massive beast with characteristics from different animals like a lion, a leopard, a bear, a dragon, etc. It has seven necks, seven heads, ten different-shaped horns, and seven elongated, muscr tails of various shapes. It also has four bulky arms and two legs thicker than its arms. As if the Apocalypse Beast greeted the world it was about to destroy, it released another roar. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRR!!! Huo Yuhao stood casually, remaining indifferent to the roar. A rare, challenged smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s handsome face as he inhaled air into his lungs. Huo Yuhao stepped forward and released his Conqueror''s Haki, brewing a chaotic storm in the atmosphere. Lightning flickered as he unleashed the loud dragon roar. "Purgatory Dragon God''s Roar!!" ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRR!!! BOOOOOOOOOOM!! The two auras shed fiercely, destroying the ground, sky, and the surrounding area. Huo Yuhao extended his left arm and transformed it into a muscr Draconic Arm, coating it with Armament Haki. He held his left arm like a piston and threw a powerful punch. The punch smashed against one of Trihexa''s heads and sent the massive Apocalyptic Beast to the sky. Winds blew everywhere, sending some weak Gods flying away. Shiva nced at Loki and questioned, "Do you know what you have done?" "What? Winning?" Loki smiled evilly. "To me, winning is everything." "Even if this world is "identally." destroyed, we can still fix it with the power left behind by that blue-haired monster..." "Right, Indra?" Loki nced at Indra. Indra wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Chase after Huo Yuhao. Don''t let him touch Trihexa before it can gather enough Destructive Force. We''ll use Trihexa to crush him!" "You... Whatever." Shiva sighed helplessly. Even his future sight couldn''t predict this moment. The whisper in his head became louder, and he couldn''t help but feel a headache. Shiva shook his head and said, "Let''s go!" The three Gods, alongside their remaining army, advanced toward Huo Yuhao fearlessly. Huo Yuhao didn''t even look at them and chanted, "Arise." A domain of darkness suddenly enveloped the Colosseum as shadowy hands and weapons rose. Hundreds of thousands of eternal shadow army created a loud cracking noise and shed with the Anti-Dragon Nest''s Army. BOOM! BAM! CRACK! A chaotic war has started. Huo Yuhao changed the ink halberd in his hand into a saber and swung it a few times, creating a summer atmosphere. sh! ROAR! Trihexa opened one of its mouths, spewing a fire breath that could cover the entire forest and mountain. Two attacks made contact. BOOOOOOM!!! A searing heat warmed the sky. The air current washed out everyone, but the two beings stayed in the air. "What a thick skin." Huo Yuhaomented, turning his saber into a brush. "Tracing..." "Dispel Defense x100." He waved the brush, creating a sealing character in the air and mming it to Trihexa. Trihexa felt fear and instinctively dodged, but how could Huo Yuhao let the Apocalyptic Beast run away? "Spatial Authority: Limitless Prison." BAM! ROOOOOOOOARR!! Trihexa was rmed, feeling the space around it to freeze awkwardly. It feels its entire body stuck inside near-solid mud. The sealing character crashed onto Trihexa''s body and lit up, weakening its proud defense. Huo Yuhao''s Dragon Arm gained a pinkish gleam as he stretched his sharp ws. [Absolute Prate x7] Helena''s sweet voicees from the depth of Huo Yuhao''s soul. "Papa, Go!" "Devil Dragon God''s Annihtion ws." Huo Yuhao stomped his leg into the air and swung his Dragon''s Arm. The ws tore through Trihexa''s body and split it into seven pieces, spraying dark blood everywhere. Trihexa roared painfully. Not only did Huo Yuhao weekend its defense, but it was "effortlessly." shed through Huo Yuhao''s Dragon ws. However, Trihexa can regenerate. The separated bodies regenerated and became aplete beast of their own. Huo Yuhao dodged aser beam from one of Trihexa''s bodies. He clenched his fist and punched the air. BOOM! The separated body exploded into bits. "Not enough, huh?" Huo Yuhao raised his right arm, transforming it into another Dragon''s Arm. His blue eyes gained a slit, amplifying his Conqueror''s Haki even further. A small thunderbolt covered Huo Yuhao''s Dragon w, rotating rapidly under Trihexa''s watchful gaze. A fiery hue emitted from the thunderbolt and burned the spatial fabric. Yes, the spatial fucking fabric! Even the passage of time is "seemingly." charred by this small thunderbolt. Every God who had Fire as their Divinity felt a mountain-like weight on their shoulders when Huo Yuhao summoned this thunderbolt. [Neb Thunderfire] [A fiery star that eradicated a whole universe into ashes] And A wisp of Neb Thunderfire is enough to destroy a giant star! "Let''s see if you can survive this." Huo Yuhao pointed his w at the Trihexa''s bodies. He grazed the air and created a fine purple line. Indra, Shiva, and Loki watched this scene and felt goosebumps in their skins and spines. The purple line spread and devoured Trihexa. It didn''t stop there. As the fiery line turned into a purple ray of extinction, it tore through the atmosphere and reached the nearest in the sr system, erasing it from existence. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Everyone''s eardrums ruptured as the supermassive explosion covered the starry sky. It created a vacuum force one after another before the universe fixed itself. Chapter 216: Draconic Deuss End (14) Chapter 216: Draconic Deus''s End (14) --- Chapter 213 --- Arge explosion blinded and deafened everyone. Far in the starry sky, a bright purple light swallowed everything. Trihexa roared, feeling fearful as its body couldn''t resist the wisp of Neb Thunderfire Huo Yuhao unleashed. The power behind this terrifying fire is enough to wipe a universe to ashes. Any kind of resistance is useless. Trihexa possessed Immense Durability and High-Speed Regeneration that threatened Draconic Deus if the Great Red and Ophis didn''t exist, but how could a mindless creature bepared to the Purgatory Dragon God''s True me? It''s likeparing a newborn baby to a literal force of destruction. After everyone''s ears rang, they could see the sky crumble, and open space appeared. Trihexa, or precisely its actual body, floated in the air and released a weak presence. After the bombardment of Neb Thunderfire, Trihexa abandoned its massive outer body/armor and revealed its actual body. A ball of light concentrated and became smaller, forming a young girl with ten horns and six wings from different creatures. [Name: Trihexa(Weakened)] [Race: Destruction Beast] [Age: Unknown] [Description: Trihexa is a legendary creature known as the Apocalyptic Beast and Emperor Beast of Apocalypse, who received a wisp of universal destruction and weakened to its weakest state.] ''I see... To offset the damage, Trihexa sacrificed its power, huh?'' Huo Yuhao thought casually. He believed Trihexa was a mindless creature as he hadn''t read Light Novel of High School DxD in his previous life, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. Even Trihexa still has an instinctual behavior to survive. Huo Yuhao kicked the air and floated to the young girl with ten horns and six different kinds of wings. Loki''s eyes widened in horror when he saw Huo Yuhao''s move, "Hurry up, prevent him from getting to Trihexa!" "Destruction Disc!" Shiva condensed his Divine Aura and sent a flying disk of destruction power. Indra also moved and lifted his weapon, "Vajra''s Storm Punch!" The Vajra in his hand exploded with lightning brilliance and rushed toward Huo Yuhao. Sensing the attacks that tore the surrounding space, Huo Yuhao nced at the two Gods and pressed his right hand against the air. Like ss breaking, Huo Yuhao''s gentle hand push seemingly shattered the space and caused a row of shockwaves to get swept out. BOOOM!! The attacks and shockwaves neutralized each other. "What?" Shiva was surprised. Everything Huo Yuhao has done so far is beyondmon sense, but he shattered the space with such a gentle movement. Any Gods with enough power could tear the space, yet what Huo Yuhao has done is something else. "Don''t stop! Keep attacking!" Indra roared while charging forward. Huo Yuhao ignored them and created an invisible wall with [Spatial Authority], dividing the distance between himself and others, creating an infinite space due to his higher power. BAM! Indra crashed onto the wall like mud. "Damn it!" He groaned and released everything he had to break this wall apart. To Indra''s surprise, he couldn''t do anything. Shiva also stopped by the invisible wall and frowned as he could sense endless spatial power from it. So, breaking it is seemingly possible for them. That is until a hoarse voice whispered into their ears. "ept my influence..." "ept my power..." "And you will be able to defeat that man!" "Tsk." Shiva instinctively shivered as he watched Indra''s expression brighten in delight. "INDRA, NO!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. However, it was toote. BOOM! Indra''s body released a powerful energy. Heughed and pulled his left arm back, punching the invisible wall before him. BAM! Crack! Huo Yuhao raised his brow slightly and sighed, thinking how wasteful of Indra to ept such a weak power. He arrived at the Trihexa''s side already and grabbed her forehead. "D-Destroy..." The young girl mumbled fearfully, feeling Huo Yuhao''s touch. "Go sleep, little girl. Adults are going to y now." Huo Yuhao smiled and covered Trihexa in an ink bubble, trapping her in a dream world. "Destroy-!" Trihexa''s eyes lit up in surprise. "Huo Yuhao!" BAM! Huo Yuhao caught Indra''s fist effortlessly andmented, "You shouldn''t have yelled when attacking someone." "The King of Gods, what an unfitting title for God like you." "A king must be dignified, wise, and know when to advance and retreat." "Above all that, A king must have confidence and trust in his people..." "You have abandoned all reason and epted the outsider''s influence to defeat me only, making the meaning of "Protecting this world." lookughable." Huo Yuhao sighed while shaking his head. "What a disappointment..." "Indra, You have lost your purpose." Huo Yuhao increased the strength of his hand and crushed Indra''s hand with sheer physical prowess. "ARGH!" Indra didn''t just feel physical pain. When Huo Yuhao crushed his hand, his soul seemed to receive the same damage. Indra shook Huo Yuhao''s hand away andunched a frontal kick, but Huo Yuhao casually raised his elbow. Huo Yuhao stretched his left arm and punched Indra''s face, "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist." BAM! SWOOOOSH! BOOM!! Indra was sent flying like a cannonball and crashed to the ground. He gasped for air and abruptly felt the pain in his face disappear. Not only that, but his power grew more robust. His muscle swells. His heart beat loudly. An image of two beautiful women appeared in Indra''s head. He was captivated. Looking at Indra from afar, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Even the Goddesses that Cursed God brought along has started to y around in my world, huh?" Huo Yuhao stared at the sky and continued, "You guys are really looking down on me..." CRACK! KABOOOOOOOOOOM!! A mighty aura exploded from Huo Yuhao''s body, followed by a bright purple light, covering the sky like an aurora. The aurora expanded greatly until the entire reverse side of the world was "literally." covered by it. At the Colosseum, Scathach''s mouth twitched in disbelief, "T-This is..." "Conqueror''s Haki!" "Oh boy, this disciple of mine." "He always brings surprises one after another." Scathach licked her lips excitedly. "Yuhao said he was at war in his emergency mission on the other universe... It doesn''t seem that simple, right?" Qianye Ying''er added beside her. Scathach nodded, "I''m afraid he doesn''t just experience a war." "This change could only happen when one experiences an apocalypse." Not far away, Yae rubbed her eyes rapidly. "This vigor..." "It feels simr to that person." She mumbled to herself. "What are you talking about, Yae?" Huo Yun''er asked. Yae peeked at Huo Yun''er solemnly and answered, "It''s nothing." ''Let''s pray that I''m just imagining things...'' ''If Huo Yuhao really has a connection with that person. I don''t know how to reactter.'' Weak supernatural beings and Gods in the Colosseum fainted one after another, falling to the ground immediately after Huo Yuhao released his Conqueror''s Haki. Loki was preparing tounch a forbidden magic, but a hand appeared on his shoulder. He froze and heard Huo Yuhao''s voice in his ears. "H-Huo Yuhao..." "Just don''t." Huo Yuhao patted Loki''s shoulder. "I-! ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!" Loki was about to activate the magic, but a blood-curdling scream escaped his throat even faster. Loki felt excruciating pain all over his body, mind, and soul. He turned into ashes, leaving a ball of soul that Huo Yuhao sealed in his Spiritual World. Death is too good for Loki. He deserves more than that. Huo Yuhao turned around and looked at Shiva, "You know, it''s not toote to surrender." "Retreating doesn''t mean you lose the war." "It means you''re wise enough to survive." Shiva frowned and retorted, "But I divined you destroy this world." "My divination is never wrong!" "Frog in the well... You watch this world''s future without knowing its danger." Huo Yuhao lifted his palm, creating a purple ball of destruction made from the wisp of Neb Thunderfire and Law of Destruction. "Then, die..." "I don''t need a poor pawn." Shiva grimaced and activated the power from the God of Protection alongside his divine spark, creating a shield that could tank the world''s destruction. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao''s attack isn''t just the world''s destruction. "Here, I''ll let you see a glimpse into the future and realize just how stupid you were." Huo Yuhao used Tian Meng''s ability to share his Spiritual Vision. Shiva''s eyes shook as images appeared in his head. His chest heaved up and down, watching something he shouldn''t see. His hands trembled in cold sweat and realization. BOOM! "Am I... Wrong?" Shiva''s shield and body were pletely." devoured by the purple ball of light. Huo Yuhao felt it was a pity, but he didn''t need an ally who couldn''t see more than a veiled future. [Ding! You have used "Small Plundering."] [You have sessfully plundered Trimurti''s Divinities!] ''What a fool.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. Him, Destroying Draconic Deus? Not in a million years! This world is too beneficial to be destroyed. What Shiva saw was probably the battle between himself and the destined enemy, which caused the world''s end. And Huo Yuhao is here to prevent it. BAM! Huo Yuhao suddenly felt someone ticking his back. Indra appeared out of nowhere with his new appearance. He no longer has his armor. All his muscles bulged to a grotesque amount, and his skin turned ivory-like. "Die, Die, Die, Die, Die, Die!" Indra kept punching Huo Yuhao, causing storms left and right. He sped his hands and smacked him, "DIe, HuO YUhaO!!" Ding! A ck metal te appeared and shielded Huo Yuhao from Indra''s attack. "Eas?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head, feeling the connection from his hundred. "Hmm, you want to absorb this guy?" "Sure." Indra''s hand stuck at the ck metal te. He tried to pull his hand back. Yet he abruptly felt a suction force from the ck metal te. The suction force bes stronger and stronger, making it impossible for him to escape. "N-No!" "I WANT TO KILL HUO YUHAO!" "I CAN''T DIE HERE!!" "I''M NOT DONE...!" BOOOOOOM!! Eas devoured Indra''s body entirely and emitted a strange blue light. [Ding!] Evo''s notification rang in Huo Yuhao''s head. [You havepleted a quest, World Domination] [You have conquered Everlith Universe(Perfect)] [You have conquered Draconic Deus(Excellent)] [Objective: Conquer Random World(2/1)] [You have exceeded the objective...] [Calcting reward...] [Hidden Potential: Dimensional Conqueror(EX) is fully awakened!] [You have obtained 6x tinum Upgrading Tickets and 2x Amethyst Upgrading Tickets] [A new Achievement is unlocked] [Greater Upgrade] [You have started a path of Greater Upgrade upon unlocking the Amethyst Upgrading Ticket!] "HAHAHA, FINALLY!" An excited voice echoed all over the world. The space above the Colosseum split up. Everyone looked up, seeing three figures. The first is a gray-skinned man with three horns and long green hair. He looked quite handsome and wore ashen-colored armor. The second is a woman with a voluptuous figure. Herplexion was simr to the man''s, but her hair was bright blue. She wore a white gown and an eye mask that covered her eyes. The third is women. She''s slimpared to the previous woman, but herplexion is greenish, and her figure isparable. Weirdly, all her hair seems to be faint yet slithering purple tentacles. She wore a robe that only revealed her private parts. The gray-skinned manughed and pointed at Huo Yuhao, "First of all, you!" "Die!" "Destiny Bond!" POOF! Huo Yuhao''s body exploded, spraying ink everywhere. Everyone who was still conscious was shocked. "Hmm?" The eye-masked woman frowned. "He didn''t die." "Wait, that was just his clone!" Her voice reverberated in confusion. "Huh?" Everyone felt the absurdness in her words. Then, everyone could hear a yawn. They turned around and stared at the throne. Huo Yuhao leaned on his chin on the back of his hand and stared at the three outer Gods. "Let''s see..." He said with a smile. Chapter 217: Draconic Deuss End (Finale) Chapter 217: Draconic Deus''s End (Finale) Author Note: I also want to shamelessly promote the rewrite of my other fanfic. Kaiju Maker in Another World, Check it out! --- Chapter 214 --- "Let''s see..." Huo Yuhao leaned on his thronefortably. He gazed at the three intruders who were supposed to be his destined enemies shortly after he conquered the Draconic Deus''s World. The Cursed God. The Goddess of Corruption. And the Goddess of Faith. They are strong with unique divinity as well. [Ding! You have triggered a quest!] [Name: This is my Domain] [Objective: Kill the intruders from your newly conquered domain(0/3)] [Time Limit: 3 Days] [Reward: tinum Upgrading Tickets x10, Ultimate Curse Technique] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao nced at the system panel and answered, "I ept." "Hahaha! Not bad, not bad. Someone actually escaped from my Destiny Bond Curse." The Cursed Godughed in excitement. He gazed at Huo Yuhao and added, "Even if it was a clone, anything that originated from it should receive the same fate... Surprisingly, you didn''t receive any significant damage." Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Oh, you mean that pitiful Ink Clone of mine?" "It has less than 0.01% of my power." Everyone from the Draconic Deus''s World was shocked when they heard Huo Yuhao''s words, especially the Gods and Beings of the Anti-Dragon Nest Faction. At first, they were dumbfounded when they found the "Huo Yuhao." who fought Indra, Shiva, and Loki, and three divine armies beneath them was a clone. Yet not long after, Huo Yuhao said that the clone barely possessed his strength. He must be bluffing! That''s what everyone thought. Yes, there is no way someone could hold such a power. Thor, who heard Huo Yuhao''s statement, was freezing on the spot. He sat in his seat with an astonished expression as he recalled the spar with Huo Yuhao a while ago. He almost uses his full power and is still defeated by his clone. "Don''t tell me... At that time, he was." Thor raised his head and stared at Huo Yuhao deeply. From the blue-haired man, all he could feel was a calm aura and endless energy. Besides Thor, Odin lifted his eyepatch and examined Huo Yuhao. A terrified expression formed on Odin''s wrinkled face as something unbelievable happened before his divine eye. Huo Yuhao became one with nature. No, the world! The world bes one with Huo Yuhao, submitting every energy it has for him. "T-This is... Even the Great Red and Ophis couldn''t do this." Ophis and Great Red appeared from the Dimensional Gap,nding near Huo Yuhao''s throne. However, they also awkwardly stopped as they sensed the world recognized Huo Yuhao as its owner. Ophis''s big eyes lit up in amazement. Meanwhile, Great Red(Rose) gasped in disbelief. ''After he defeated Indra, something definitely changed.'' Great Red pondered a bit. She peeked at the three unknown beings in the sky andmented, "Even the barrier ced by Huo Yuhao got torn apart by them." "They aren''t a simple group of people." "The power of Dream." Great Red was about to use her power, but she suddenly saw Huo Yuhao raise his hand. Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, "They aren''t your enemy, don''t bother to intervene." "Why do you think I set a Colosseum here?" Great Red''s eyes widened in realization. She looked around and sighed, "The reverse side of the world. Besides supernatural beings,mon people won''t get injured here." "You didn''t set this battlefield for Indra and others..." "You set this battlefield for them, isn''t it?" Several Hindu Gods fell to the ground, having a paleplexion when they realized how incrediblyughable their leaders'' ambitions were. To save the world? Don''t joke around. Huo Yuhao didn''t take them seriously from the very beginning. Not far away, Yae observed the three intruders attentively. Her star-like eyes clouded with weirdness as she couldn''t recall any information about them. "The world is vast, huh?" The Cursed God''s expression froze when he heard Huo Yuhao''s reply. He put his hand over his face andughed even louder, giving off the vibe of madness. "Hahaha~!" "So, you''re saying my curse was weak?" Huo Yuhao shrugged and chuckled indifferently, "I didn''t say that. Pfft, what an idiot." "Idiot? You dare to call me an idiot?!" The Cursed God grimaced, and a cold aura released from his body. "I, D, I, O, T." Huo Yuhao moved his lips slowly. Bang! A red-colored hammer sts through the light and reaches toward Huo Yuhao but stops when it is about to touch him. Huo Yuhao smirked as the red-colored hammer crumbled into dust slowly because of Destruction Law, causing the Cursed God''s expression to darken even more. "Destruction..." The Cursed God crumbled in satisfaction. "You mastered the Law of Destruction." "No wonder you dare to be brave before my presence." "Rusha, give me new blood." He continued, making the eye-masked woman beside her nod. The eye-masked woman floated forward and waved her hand gently, pressing against the air. "Kmar Leewa Nohn!" Several mysterious, silver-colored symbols appeared and dispersed in the blink of an eye, merging with the air. [Ding! The Goddess of Faith used "Incite Defection."] [Sub-System: Dragon Nest''s Management System resisted the Goddess of Faith''s ability] Everyone who wasn''t part of the Dragon Nest suddenly groaned as tears welled up from their eyes. However, those weren''t tears of horror. But tears of happiness instead! "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao raised his brow slightly. "Evo." [This is the Goddess of Faith''s exclusive ability. When she fights enemies head-on, she can activate the "Incite Defection." based on her divinity to turn 30% of the enemy''s forces into her loyal followers!] [The lowest number of target defecting is one, and the highest is one million. After the defection, the target''s loyalty will be in the "Fanatical." state because of her strong divinity!] Huo Yuhao felt his heart tremble for a moment. This ability is too Overpower! If Huo Yuhao didn''t have Dragon Nest''s Management System, he could have lost his subordinates and loved ones. Imagine losing 30% of your force instantly. That''d be devastating. Not only do you lose a good chunk of your power, but you also have to fight yourpanions, friends, and family to death. [Don''t worry, Host. Although Incite Defection is powerful, it has some limits too, as someone with a firm heart and determination wouldn''t get affected.] [Those who swear their loyalty to you, those who admired you, those who loved you from the depth of their hearts won''t ever dream of betraying you!] ''In short, people with the slightest thought of betraying me in the alliance will be my enemy from now on.'' [Exactly] Huo Yuhao activated True Ancestor''s Eyes of the Lords and scanned the lines of karma in the atmosphere. He watched a pure white line separating into countless needles and piercing the newly fanatical subordinates of the Goddess of Faith. Still, it doesn''t end there. The Cursed God stared at his other wife and said, "Give them some meat, Corruption." The Goddess of Corruption grinned and clenched her hand hard, creating a spark that flew everywhere. People affected by the "Incite Defection." opened their eyes wide, feeling something inside them changing rapidly. Their whole bodies are suddenly overwhelmed with power! Yes, unlimited, corrupted power! Who would have thought this whole ordeal only happened in a fraction of a second? Yup, you heard that right. The Goddess of Faith and the Goddess of Corruption only took a fraction of a second to make 30% of Dragon Nest''s Alliance defect. They granted them more power. Some Gods and Goddesses from this world lowered their heads and whispered fanatical chants toward their used-to-be enemies. It was a bizarre sight. "Go, kill your friends and families!" The Cursed God ordered. "RAAA!!" "DIE!!" "For the GODDESSES!" "FOR THE GODDESSES!!" Huo Yuhao shook his head and said amusingly, "You want to y numbers with me?" "You chose the wrong person to mess with!" "Arise." BOOM! The Colosseum and the surrounding area shook violently. Deep shadow enveloped the ground and sky. Hands, ws, and wings made of shadows came out. ROOOOOOOARRR! AAAAAAAAAAAUUU! "My LIEGE!" Over 250 thousand shadow soldiers kneeled before Huo Yuhao. Comparing this to the cute amount of shadow army Huo Yuhao summoned to Indra and others earlier is ridiculous. The scale is just on a different level. Several gigantic shadows overshadowed the sky. Ground Beasts, Sea Beasts, Sky Beasts, Humans, Elf, Centaurs, Valkyries, Dragons, and even a glob of shadowy waters kneeled before Huo Yuhao. They are the army he forged from a long war. They are the army he brought to victory. They are the army who would never betray him. They are. The Eternal Shadow Army. "This is..." The Goddess of Faith''s mouth twitched. "Hmph, cheap tricks!" The Cursed God waved his hand and created a wave of energy,unching it at Huo Yuhao''s army. "Cursed st." BOOOOOOOOOM!! Arge explosion swept over the Eternal Shadowy Army, but not even a secondter. The Cursed God''s expression became twisted. The dust flew everywhere and revealed the army with no scratch whatsoever. "Get up. Today, we will fight once again!" Huo Yuhao rose from his throne. "My Shadows, show your enemy just how powerful you are!" "Show them our power that trample those DAMNED MONSTERS!" "My Dragon Nest, with the power we cultivated from farawaynds!" "Today, we will show them the Doom of DRAGONS!" "KILL!" Killing intent exploded from Huo Yuhao, forming an image of a death reaper that put its scythe on the. "KILL!!!" Warcry echoed all over the reverse side of the world. Cultivators and Shadows marched forward, fighting their opponents. BOOOOOOOOOOM!! Explosion after the explosion urred on the battlefield. Blood spilled everywhere, creating a flowing river of death. Huo Yuhao rushed toward the Cursed God and drew out Dosa, coating it with Armament Haki and Conqueror''s Haki. The Law of Destruction and Death surged from his hand. "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves." "Imminent Death." "Cursed God''s Technique: Shattered Space." The Cursed God flexed his pinky finger. BAM! Two techniques sh. A halberd and breaking space force made a turbulent vacuum in between, sucking everything around it. KABOOOOOOOOM!! Huo Yuhao and Cursed God separated because of the after-effect. "Hmph!" The Cursed God snorted. Huo Yuhao smirked, "Hmm. So, that''s your Cursed God''s Technique." "Not too shabby." ... The Goddess of Faith wanted to help her husband when a golden-haireddy appeared and stopped her. "Goddess of Faith, isn''t it?" Qianye Ying''er smiled at her. "Why did you want to help the Cursed God?" The Goddess of Faith frowned and retorted, "It''s none of your business, die!" A red ribbon appeared and struck Qianye Ying''er. nk! Qianye Ying''er swung her battle g, shaking her head helplessly. "How ironic..." "As the Goddess of Faith, you sure have no faith in your husband." "My faith is stronger than yours!" Qianye Ying''er dered, releasing her divinity. Her Devotion is like a bright star at this very moment. Dragon, Devotion, Desire, Destruction, and Creation. In short, D4C. Among the five divinities Qianye Ying''erprehended, Devotion is unmistakably the strongest! Since Huo Yuhao saved her years ago, Qianye Ying''er has devoted her life to him. So, when sheprehended the Divinity of Devotion, those years felt like forever. But even if it was forever, she never felt bored and wronged. "Today, I''d not let you meddle with Yuhao''s business." Qianye Ying''er stated, pointing her battle g at the Goddess of Faith. "You little bitch..." The Goddess of Faith seemingly became feral as her manner of speaking changed abruptly. Her neat hair red, bing mane-like instantly. The eye mask on her head burst out, revealing red demonic eyes. It''s not something you considered to see from the Goddess of Faith for sure. The red ribbon enveloped the Goddess of Faith''s limbs. She looked at Qianye Ying''er and cursed, "I''ll fucking kill you!" ... The Goddess of Corruption frowned at the Goddess of Faith''s enraged state. She sighed and felt someone sneaking behind her. "Oh, good evening." Huo Yun''er hovered in the air and giggled, covering her mouth with a fan. "Like Ying''er, I won''t let you meddle with my Hao''er matter." The Goddess of Corruption''s eyes shone with dark light, trying to corrupt Huo Yun''er. "What are you trying to do?" Huo Yun''er tilted cluelessly. "Ah, you want to corrupt me with your power." She added with a surprised look. Huo Yun''er giggled again, "Aww, how cute." "Do you think there is something I have on me that hasn''t gotten corrupted?" "You''re a little toote in this matter." The Goddess of Corruption''s eyes blinked as she saw darkness from Huo Yun''er. Swoosh! Huo Yun''er blinked and ced her hand on the Goddess of Corruption''s face, "When you could pry into Luck and Truth, you touched the Land of Taboo already." "Let''s see how much corruption you have..." The Goddess of Corruption felt a chill in her spine. Bam! The Goddess of Corruption smacked the hand away from her face and said solemnly, "What a vixen..." "Fufu, I prefer to be called a mistress." Huo Yun''er returned casually. ... Scathach observed the Cursed God and nced at the fanatical followers that the Goddess of Faith defected a few seconds ago. A red spear and a ck spear appeared in Scathach''s hands. "It''s going to be interesting..." She said while crashing into the enemy''s line. Scathach watched countless Gods and Goddesses or beings with the same power level rushing toward her. She chuckled and brandished blood-colored energy, starting her ughter. She moved from one ce to another, spilling enemy blood with a swift spear strike. Each strike was enough to kill Gods and Goddesses, who defected from the alliance. Today, they finally experienced how terrifying the God yer Scathach is. Back to Huo Yuhao, he exchanged a few moves with the Cursed God and gauged his strength. The Cursed God is strong. Even though he doesn''t seem to have high martial skills, his Cursed God Technique possesses enough flexibility to be equal to Huo Yuhao''s current form. "Cursed Circus: Game of Snake!" Several lines appeared from the air and became snakes, encircling Huo Yuhao in aplex formation. Huo Yuhao took out the Grand Duchess Ink Devil''s Quill and brushed out his Primordial Ink into existence. "Phnx." SWOOOOSH! A massive dome-shaped shield manifested. Crack! The snakes bit onto the shield, cracking it. "Die!" The Cursed God clenched his hand. A ck-colored blood spilled all over the sky. The Cursed God smirked and felt a coldness in his neck. "Shit!" Huo Yuhao swung Dosa gently and created a ripple in the air, cutting through space effortlessly. DING! The Cursed God summoned a scissors-shaped weapon and made Huo Yuhao''s halberd strike straight ahead. It was golden-colored scissors with silver and ck des, gleaming with cold light. There are inscription patterns on the scissors, making it look more mysterious. As Dosa made contact with the scissors, an unbelievable scene appeared before Huo Yuhao''s eyes. ''He cut the Spiritual Energy in the atmosphere and channeled it back to himself.'' Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. ''That scissors.'' ''It''s a Divine Weapon.'' Huo Yuhao scanned the weapon and discovered something weird about it. "This weapon of yours..." The Cursed God pushed the scissors forward and grinned, "It could cut the enemy''s strength and make it mine!" "Haha, it''s toote for you to realize." "Just like any enemies I had faced, your strength will be mine soon!" [Ding! The Cursed God has used "All-Things Hunt." and stole a small portion of your strength!] [Ding! You have gotten inflicted by "All-Things Hunt." and received "Small Weakening." Debuff] "This is amazing." The Cursed God felt power course through his veins. His physical prowess has increased by a qualitative leap. Not to mention, the energy the Cursed God stole from Huo Yuhao is like a vast sea. The Cursed God has never felt so excited. He grabbed his scissors and separated them into two swords. After that, he pointed the two weird-shaped swords at Huo Yuhao. "With this new strength, I''ll take everything from you." "Cursed Circus: Game of Lions." "Game of Wolves." "Game of Chicken." "Game of Turtle." Four different groups of beasts kicked the air and pounced at Huo Yuhao, each with their purpose. "How careless of me." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I nearly give a fuck..." "Huh?" The Cursed God watched his Cused God''s Technique vanish from the world. "What happened?" [Law of Nullification] Huo Yuhao broke the Cursed God''s technique apart, rendering it useless. Huo Yuhao appeared below the Cursed God and punched his stomach. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! "Kuugh-!" The Cursed God felt pain in his stomach as he got sent flying outside the Draconic Deus''s. Huo Yuhao drove him away, using [Spatial Authority] to develop wormholes. They have traveled quadrillion kilometers away and crashed onto an uninhabited. The is three times smaller than the Draconic Deus''s, but the gravity here is 100 times heavier. Blerg! "How could you still have that much strength?" The Cursed God spatted a mouthful of blood. Huo Yuhao dug his ears and replied, "It''s just a small portion of my strength, not worth mentioning." "As long as I can understand the fundamentals of your Cursed God''s Technique, I won''t get affected as much as others." Wiping the blood from his mouth, the Cursed Godughed excitedly, "Then, you are wrong..." "Bringing me here was a big mistake on your part." "Here, I could unleash my Cursed Seals!" He roared, releasing a frightening aura. The-! No, the entire sr system shook violently. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" "Okay..." Huo Yuhao rooted on the ground and stared at the Cursed God helplessly. "And?" "You''re still weaker than me." BAM! Huo Yuhao suddenly punched the Cursed God''s stomach, sting a good chunk of the. The Cursed God hovered in the open space, groaning in pain. "B-Bastard..." "How could you attack me before I prepared?" "You are an idiot indeed. Anyone with the right mind wouldn''t wait for their enemy to be stronger?" Huo Yuhao mocked helplessly. "Well, this is the time to end this..." As Huo Yuhao took a step forward, the world changed drastically. A Dragon, Blue Eyes, Chains, and a Throne appeared. Twenty-seven rings of light manifested, glowing brightly in the dark open spaces. Yes, they are Huo Yuhao''s Spirit Rings. Each Spirit Ring is over a million years old with unique colors and powers, making the Cursed God nervous. It didn''t stop there as Huo Yuhao activated his Devil Trigger, causing the Primordial Ink Devil and Primordial Godlight Devil to be agitated. BOOOOOOOOOM! A bright sh illuminated the sr system. Far, far away. On the Draconic Deus''s, everyone from the Dragon Nest and the Eternal Shadow Army instinctively nced at the vast starry sky. They could feel the immense presence of their ruler. "Your Highness." "Kami-sama." "My Liege!" "Dear." "Father." "Yuhao." "Yuhao-sama." "Hao''er~!" Their feelings resonated with Huo Yuhao''s power. Although they weren''t there with him, they could feel his overbearing presence and confidence. As if saying, I Will WIN! Huo Yuhao released the presence that could destroy the universe at this very moment. The Goddess of Faith''s mood bes worse. Her new faithful followers are weaker than the army on the opposite side. She also couldn''t gain any advantage against Qianye Ying''er, which frustrated her even more. ''That woman fucking lied to us...'' The Goddess of Faith cursed in her mind. ''She said this world has the bearer of Waves, who hasn''t grown fully.'' ''Hasn''t grown her head! That damned Bearer of Waves is a monster!'' The Goddess of Corruption grimaced and mumbled, "The Inheritance of the Waves..." ''Many powerful beings in the vast universe want to covet it, but the trace of thest Bearer of Waves was lost three million years ago.'' ''I know it was too good to be true!'' She added with a darkened face. "That woman. She appeared out of nowhere and spilled beans about thest Bearer of Waves." "She did this on purpose." "But what does she actually want?" "To the test Bearer of the Waves?" "Ara, are you daydreaming when fighting me?" Huo Yun''er ced her hand on the Goddess of Corruption''s shoulders. "That''s not a good thing to do near your enemy." "Since... You could get killed~!" She whispered gently. ... In the vast dark space, the Cursed God''splexion paled. "You! The Bearer of the Waves!" There is a hint of fear in his voice. Huo Yuhao tilted his head and returned in confusion, "The Bearer of the Waves?" The Cursed God snorted, "So what if you are the Bearer of the Waves?" "An Outer God like me doesn''t have to feel afraid of someone who hasn''t matured." Huo Yuhao wanted to know about the Bearer of the Waves things. He asked Evo, but the system denied his request as he could find it himself. [You can interrogate the Cursed God before killing him] Evo emotionlessly replied. Huo Yuhao smiled and summoned Fairy King''s Canvas alongside his Onyx Brush. The Primordial Ink in his body boiled in excitement as Huo Yuhao was about to use them today. "Cursed God''s Killing Technique." The Cursed God released an energy the size of a giant star. He pointed his fingers at Huo Yuhao, "Killing Bond." A massive beast was "sessfully" summoned by the Cursed God and opened its gigantic mouth to swallow the. Huo Yuhao watched this calmly, brushing his brush against the Fairy King''s Canvas. With just a simple stroke, a cosmic phenomenon appears. A ck sh shattered space and time, striking the Cursed God''s summoned beast. It killed the beast instantly. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! A cosmic storm swept over the sr system, swallowing stars one after another. The Cursed God trembled and felt a brush on his cheek. Green blood dripped from his skin. "Fuck, fuck!" "What the fuck is this monster?!" The Cursed God blinked and decided to run away. His body flew away, leaving a trail of green light. Huo Yuhao kicked the ground and created a deep crater on the, destroying half of it. He chased after the Cursed God, sending attacks once in a while to terrorize him. It was a funny sight. After a while, Huo Yuhao caught the Cursed God and tied him with the Chains of Heavens. Huo Yuhao pressed his hand against the Cursed God''s head and nted Primordial Ink in his body to prevent him from killing himself. "I''ll give you a chance for trespass on my domain." "Answer my question, and I''ll give you a swift death." "In your dream!" The Cursed God snarled. "What an idiot." Huo Yuhao activated the True Ancestor''s Eyes of the Lords, dragging the Cursed God into an illusion. The Cursed God frowned and looked around, "An illusion?" "Do you think a mere illusion will make me open my mouth?" Huo Yuhao chuckled wholeheartedly and answered, "Who said this is an ordinary illusion?" "This is my Spiritual World. I decide everything in this world." "For example..." Huo Yuhao created a knife out of thin air and stabbed the Cursed God in the head. "I can make one second of pain feel like forever." The Cursed God''s body convulsed as he roared to the sky. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGH!" His blood-curdling pain echoed in the Spiritual World, but Huo Yuhao maintained a nk expression. One second end. And Huo Yuhao stabbed the Cursed God again. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHH!" It continued for hours until Huo Yuhao felt the Cursed God''s resistance weakened. "KILL ME!" "YOU BASTARD!" "KILL ME RIGHT NOW!" "I DON''T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE!" "PLEASE, KILL ME!!" Huo Yuhao stabbed the Cursed God again and told Evo to upgrade something in the meantime. [Upgrading Concept: Small Plundering with tinum Upgrading Ticket] [Small Plundering upgraded to True Plundering] In the real world, Huo Yuhao plundered the Cursed God''s Power. [Ding! You have plundered "Cursed-Type Divinity."] [Ding! You have plundered "Cursed Style: Divine Language."] As Huo Yuhao emptied the Cursed God''s Memories, he summoned Neb Thunderfire and burned his body into ashes. Of course, it doesn''t end here. "Arise." BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Arge shadow erupted in the open space as a hand wed out, revealing the Cursed God''s appearance made of shadows. "Well, that was a disappointing oue. I thought the destined enemy would be stronger." Huo Yuhao named the Shadow "Tucan." and sighed helplessly. [The Cursed God and his wives are strong, Host] Evomented calmly. [After all, they are the powerhouse of Mid 7th Tier Level] [It''s just that you aren''t supposed to go to Everlith Universe and obtain more power there.] [That''s why I said your winning rate is 100%.] [I must say, your luck is out of standard!] [Luck: EX] "Not my problem." Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned to the Draconic Deus. As he arrived at the Draconic Deus''s, he could see thend bathed in Gods and Goddess''s Bloods. He shook his head and nced at his army. The Goddess of Faith and the Goddess of Corruption were pletely." neutralized, making the Dragon Nest the sole winner of this world. Huo Yuhao approached the Goddesses from the outer universe, watching them locked in a prison made by Qianye Ying''er. "Good job." Huo Yuhao patted Qianye Ying''er. Qianye Ying''er squealed happily. Huo Yuhao looked down at these Goddesses and said, "I''ve killed your husband." "Don''t worry, you''ll get reunited with him soon." "No-! YOU BASTARD!" The Goddess of Faith screamed at the top of her lungs. The Goddess of Corruption frowned and epted her fate, seeing Huo Yuhao''s cold blue eyes gaze on them. They have been tricked, backstabbed, and ultimately bamboozled. Huo Yuhao tortured both Goddesses for a few minutes, weakening their resistance before using True Plundering. [Ding! You have plundered "Incite Defection."] [Ding! You have plundered "Goddess of Faith''s Eyes."] [Ding! You have plundered "Inner Corruption''s Whisper."] [Ding! You have plundered "Corruption Goddess''s Divinity."] After burning them to ashes, Huo Yuhao revived them into Shadow Soldiers. "Arise." Two shadows wed out of the prison, kneeling before Huo Yuhao. [Ding! You have finished a quest.] [Rewarding tinum Upgrading Tickets x10, and Cursed God''s Technique] Hearing the crisp notification, Huo Yuhao turned around and faced his subjects. He raised his hand, "We have defeated our enemy!" "I DECLARED, THE RECORD OF RAGNAROK HAS ENDED!" "THIS IS DRAGON NEST''S VICTORY!" The cheers echoed thousands of miles away. "DRAGON NEST!!" "DRAGON NEST!!" "DRAGON NEST!!" Today is the mark. The mark of a new era for the Draconic Deus. Chapter 218: The Record of Ragnar?ks Aftermath Chapter 218: The Record of Ragnar?k''s Aftermath --- Chapter 215 --- The Record of Ragnar?k hase to an end. Many Gods, Goddesses, and Supernatural Beings lost their lives due to the Goddess of Faith''s ability. However, the Dragon Nest became the biggest winner without a doubt. They showed overwhelming growth, variation, and powers that trampled the current system in the Draconic Deus. Ultimately, Huo Yuhao exposed just how naive they were. Yes, they are nothing but frogs in the well. The ones allied with the Dragon Nest rejoiced. The ones who opposed the Dragon Nest regretted their decisions. It was a matter of choice, but they couldn''t possibly walk back, no? In this war, the estimated casualty of both sides is over 68%. Yes, both sides. Since the allied factions of the Dragon Nest''s Alliance weren''t part of the Sub System: Dragon Nest''s Management, the Goddess of Faith''s Incite Deception caused substantial damage. Asgard and Mount Olympus lost so many of their Gods and Goddesses. Even the Vampire Factions and the Vatican under Scathach and Qianye Ying''er shared the same downfall, which was unfortunate because they couldn''t do anything about it. Well, everything will recover slowly as Huo Yuhao is now the ruler of the Draconic Deus. ... Within the Dragon Nest''s Estate in Kuoh Town, Huo Yuhao leaned on the wall and watched countless new Shadow Soldiers before his eyes. They were Gods, Goddesses, Divine Armies, and Supernatural Beings who fell in the Record of Ragnar?k. Yes, Huo Yuhao turned them into his Shadow Soldiers because it would be a waste of resources if he didn''t do so, especially the Cursed God, the Goddess of Faith, and the Goddess of Corruption. These three Outer Gods possessed pieces of information that baffled Huo Yuhao. After the will of Biblical God(Yeshua) warned Huo Yuhao about the intruder, he always wondered where these "destined enemies."e from. From the tortures and the Outer Gods'' mouths, they said a woman in white appeared out of nowhere when they wandered in the universal pathways and told them the location of Bearer of the Waves. She specifically mentioned the Bearer of the Waves hasn''t awakened its power, triggering their greed for endless power. The woman in white is mysterious. ording to Tucan(Cursed God''s given name), the woman could easily defeat him without lifting a finger. He didn''t know the depth of her power at all. So, Huo Yuhao couldn''t get any lead on this matter. But again, thetter part is also critical. The Bearer of the Waves. This title is for individuals who inherited the power of Primordial Waves from the distant universe. Anyone who wielded such power was guaranteed a proper path to bing the Dimensional Conqueror. That''s why the Cursed God wants it. An Outer God like him also wants to be famous and revered in the vast omniverse. So far, there aren''t any Bearers of the Waves left. It means, upon obtaining "Gathering of the Ten Thousand Waves." a while ago, making Huo Yuhao the sole inheritor. Distant Universe. Even decently powerful beings like Cursed God and his wives could only dream of getting there. Huo Yuhao shook his head and diminished Tucan, Dwee(Goddess of Faith), and Sol(Goddess of Corruption) to the Eternal Shadow Realm. He sighed and nced at the other shadows, mainly Indra and Shiva, that resurrected through his power. Although their appearances changed as they adorned armor now, he could still feel their divinities. The Hindu Faction experienced the most loss in this war. It was almost pitiful, but Huo Yuhao didn''t feel bad for them. After all, their leaders were ipetent. Well, they''d be better in the future as Huo Yuhao won''t change anything besides the direction of their faiths. Huo Yuhao is a God now, so he needs devoted followers to supply him with Faith Energy. The more faiths he received, the stronger his divinity became. It is the most orthodox way. Of course, just like the Cursed God stated earlier. Huo Yuhao could also conquer other dimensions and seize their worldly essence, increasing his divinity. Still, it depends on the dimension''s level. "Return to the shadow." Huo Yuhao ordered his new shadow army. The shadow army nodded and slowly submerged themselves into the Eternal Shadow Realm. "What a tiring day." Huo Yuhao sighed, stretching his body. Someone sneaked behind Huo Yuhao, causing him to frown. "What do you want, Yae?" Yae silently gazed into Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes and massaged her chin in confusion. "Yuhao, are you perhaps connected to a powerful Constetion?" She asked solemnly. "Constetion?" Huo Yuhao returned weirdly. "Yes, Constetion." Yae nodded firmly. "The constetion I mentioned is the brightest star in the collective universe. They are beings. Who possesses extreme power and authority beyond the Dimensional Barrier." "I couldn''t sense anything special as my full power hadn''t recovered yet, but your soul definitely has a trace of Constetion with you." "I don''t know..." Huo Yuhao responded with a sigh. "After I returned from my mission, a good chunk of my memory disappeared. And every time I tried to remember, a headache would assault my mind." "Your soul..." Yae patted Huo Yuhao''s chest. Her expression darkened as she discovered Huo Yuhao''s soul seemingly restrained by something, but it didn''t affect him negatively. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Let''s not talk about that for now." "I''d rather indulge myself on another topic." "That''s good, I guess." Yae nodded in agreement. After all, They won a war and conquered this world. She pondered for a bit and added, "Don''t worry. I''ll try finding a way to solve your problem." "Thanks." Huo Yuhao smiled at the foxy woman. Yae waved her hand casually, "It''s nothing. This big sister of yours is a powerful deity!" "Leave it to me!" Huo Yuhao and Yae went to the Huo Yun''er ce, finding her in the office with several stacks of paper. "I''m back." Huo Yuhao said upon entering the room. He greeted Huo Yun''er and kissed her on the forehead. "Wee home, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er returned the gesture but kissed Huo Yuhao''s lip instead. "You must be tired, go to sleep, and I''ll handle the rest for you." Huo Yuhao hugged Huo Yun''er and made her breathe heavily. "If you do this again, I can''t let you away, you know?" She leaned on Huo Yuhao''s chest with a pouting mouth. "Then, I would take a short nap." Huo Yuhao chuckled and left Huo Yun''er alone with Yae. When Huo Yuhao went to rest and entered the bedroom, Huo Yun''er changed her expression from warm to solemn. "How is his situation?" Huo Yun''er asked her mentor. Yae shook her head and answered, "All good. If I had to say, maybe Yuhao needs to rx more." "We didn''t know how much he suffered due to thest mission on another world." "Rx more..." Huo Yun''er mumbled to herself. Since Huo Yun''er escaped the White Tiger Mansion years ago, She always watched her beloved son carry the burden of others. He saved countless lives and gave them a better future. He founded an organization. He brought them to this world and conquered it. As a youth, Huo Yuhao achieved more than any man. He''s a Divine Dragon among men. Huo Yun''er noticed one report sticking out of her table. Her eyes lit up immediately. "This is it." She said excitedly. "Hmm?" Yae tilted her head, checking the paper. "Ooh!" "This might work." Huo Yun''er lifted the report paper as if it were a treasure to make her son happy. "ording to Hao''er, we still have less than a year before finishing our mission of conquering this world." "Now that we have conquered it, there shouldn''t be a time limit." "No time to waste. I''ll find that woman now!" Chapter 219: Returning to the Homeworld Chapter 219: Returning to the Homeworld --- Chapter 216 --- Two months passed after the Record of Ragnar?k. Huo Yuhao and others decided to stay for two months in the Draconic Deus to stabilize the situation after the war. All the Factions have collectively joined the Dragon Nest''s Alliance, and none dare to question this. The cultivation system was "quickly." implemented, and Spirit Energy spread all over the world, changing the power system forever. Many miracles in the human world happened, but everything was under control. The new era had started, and everything went ording to n, but it was time to return. No matter how sad it was. And it''s not like they wouldn''t meet again from this world''s residence because Evo informed Huo Yuhao that he could create a connected path between the two worlds. After returning, Huo Yuhao only has to choose the area to ce the portal down. Bam, problem solved. Of course, Huo Yuhao will arrange the portal in one of the Dragon Nest''s bases. As for which ones, that depends on the condition of the bases. ... Heaven, Throne of Heaven''s Room. Huo Yuhao meditated above soft white clouds, gripping thest bit of control over this world. Learning from the Cursed God''s invasion, Huo Yuhao knew a normal barrier wouldn''t work against a God King-level threat or above. Huo Yuhao neededplete control over this world, especially the Draconic Deus''s and Sr System, and he could bring them into a universe-sized mirror dimension. It wasn''t an easy job, but it wasn''t hard either. After bing God of Fortune, Dragon God of Destruction, and God of Lust with several other divinities he shared with others, Huo Yuhao''s authority over the 4th Dimension and nearly the 5th Dimension is absolute. Yaemented once that having authority over a higher dimension doesn''t equal bing stronger. It makes one''s Dimension higher than others, negating any lower being''s assault toward you. But some beings cannot be measured by "Dimension." alone. Even a mortal could injure Gods with some preparation, no? Irregrs exist from time to time. Thankfully, these individuals are rare, and if not, the bnce of countless universes would have disappeared. Huo Yuhao immersed himself in the purend of the world, hovering in a dark space. His blue eyes shone brightly in this darkness, illuminating the path toward the consciousness of Draconic Deus. Not far from him, a flickering golden me lit up. A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s handsome face as his hands extended toward the flickering golden me. "Look how weak you are..." Hemented pitifully. "The constant war and destruction created by others causes the Spark of the World to end like this. You''re no different than a flickering me in a dying candle." "As expected, Trihexa, Great Red, and Ophis are your agents." "But even they couldn''t resist the otherworldly forces." He added while seizing the golden me. "Don''t worry. I won''t let you die." "This world and its inhabitants still need you." A burst of divinityes from Huo Yuhao''s body. Immense luck flowed to Heaven and redirected to the ground, making the whole and its surrounding area tremble slightly. WOOSH! The flicker, small golden me burst out with intensity and grew significantly bigger like the sun itself. Every supernatural being in the world could sense the change in the atmosphere. Yokai could feel the freshness in the atmosphere as the quality of natural energy improved by leaps. Magicians and the Devil could sense the Magical Energy be thicker and more abundant. Even Gods and Goddesses felt their Divine Aura be easier to control. "Well, see youter. I''ll leave this ce to you." Huo Yuhao waved his hand at the golden me and vanished from the dark space. The golden me watched the distant darkness and hovered silently in its home. ... Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times. He rubbed his neck and nced at the sky, seeing a faint golden barrier surrounding the world and sr system. Only people like Huo Yuhao, with strong ocr prowess and senses, could see this. "I''m done with my task." He yawnedzily. A voluptuous figure entered the room. It was Gabriel in her casual blouse and ck skirt. Since Huo Yuhao ascended as the new Biblical God, many restrictions on Heaven have lessened. So, Gabriel could wear a more revealing outfit without being afraid of pilling up sins. Her current blouse framed the twin mountain peaks she had, and wless skin on her back as it was open for her angel''s wings. "Dadd-! *Cough!* I mean, Father." Gabriel coughed when she identally called Huo Yuhao a nickname. She forgot she was in Heaven. It seemed Yae and Qianye Ying''er had taught this once-innocent archangel a few bad things. ''Both nicknames aren''t that bad.'' Huo Yuhao smiled, shaking his head helplessly. "Gabriel, how is everyone''s preparation?" Gabriel skipped from cloud to cloud and answered, "Everyone went smoothly~!" "Mistress told me to fetch you, Father." "Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded and nced at the Throne of Heaven. "I''m going to miss this ce." Tian Meng''s voice rang as she protested, ''Don''t be a drama queen, please! We could go back anytime, remember?'' ''Yuhao is talking about the privilege of the Supreme Ruler.'' Eluxiamented casually. ''Remember that the Throne of Heaven allowed Huo Yuhao to modify this world to a certain extent.'' ''It also helps him master ''Dimension.'' faster.'' ''Someone is not paying attention, so your exnation is useless, Sister Eluxia. Oh well, So much from the newly evolved Great Wisdom Sky Dragon!'' Bing Di added with a load of sarcasm. ''Dumb Dragon, Dumb Dragon~! Aunt Meng is Dumb Dragon~!'' Helena''s voice echoed throughout the Spiritual World. "..." Tian Meng. She heaved her chest and chose a corner, curling up into a ball and sulking herself. Huo Yuhao chuckled at Tian Meng''s fate. After evolving from a Worm to a Dragon, the 1,000,000-year-old Spirit Beast didn''t change much. Maybe it has to do with Tian Meng skipping the steps of evolving into the Dragon Species due to Huo Yuhao''s bloodline. ''Boohoo, everyone is bullying me...'' Tian Meng''s cries echoed in Huo Yuhao''s ears. She tried to gain his empathy here. And like a good partner, he is. Huo Yuhao decided to ignore her. "Let''s go." He said to Gabriel. Gabriel nodded, and they teleported to the Kuoh Town. The Dragon Nest''s members and some promising individuals from this world have been waiting for him. The promising individuals are inhabitants who achieved passable results based on Scathach''s observation. Their cultivation speed and adaptation are betterpared to other supernatural beings. Grigori: Azazel, Ikuse Tobio, and Vali Lucifer. Underworld: Grayfia Lucifuge, Sairaorg Bael, Venna Bael, Ingvild Leviathan, and Ajuka Beelzebub. Heaven and Vatican: Gabriel, Asia Argento, Xenovia Quarta, and Griselda Quarta. Youkai: Kuroka Toujo, Koneko(Shirone) Toujo, and Kunou. Asgard: Rossweisse(recruited). Vampire: Valerie Tepes. New Hero Faction: Arthur Pendragon, Le Fay Pendragon] Dragon: Ophis, Tiamat Otherworld: Minamoto no Raikou, Nico Robin It was quite a line up. Unfortunately, some people couldn''t go as they have other duties to do. For example, Great Red(Rose), Yasaka, and Mi Bael rejected the invitation because they wanted to observe and maintain their territories. Huo Yun''er smiled when she saw her son''s arrival. She giggled and nced at Nico Robin, causing thetter to nod. "Why did she nce at you?" Minamoto no Raikou curiously asked Nico Robin. The survivor of Ohara shook her head and calmly returned, "It''s nothing special." Two months ago, Huo Yun''er summoned her and proposed a n. And Nico Robin agreed immediately. For her benefactor, Nico Robin is willing to do almost anything. "How shady..." Minamoto no Raiku cast a suspicious look, to which Nico Robin responded with a small, concealedugh. Huo Yuhao approached them and opened his mouth, "Are you guys ready?" "We are ready!" They responded simultaneously. They have said farewell to their family, friends, and others. And now, they were excited to see the new world. Huo Yuhao nodded, ''Evo, do it.'' [Ding! You have finished Conquering a Random World] [Commencing Mass Teleportation to the Home World: Douluo Dalu] [Opening the passage between two worlds] [Mass Teleportation started in three, two...] [One!] ... A sh of light engulfed Huo Yuhao and others. In a fraction of a second, they disappeared from the DxD World and reappeared on the altar of Dragon Nest''s base. SWOOSH! They opened their eyes one after another, witnessing a grand room surrounded by white ss. Huo Yuhao breathed the fresh air of his homeworld. He turned around and stared at the passengers he brought with a faint smile, "Everyone, Wee to our World(Douluo Dalu)!" Chapter 220: Curious Guests Chapter 220: Curious Guests --- Chapter 217 --- "Wee to our World(Douluo Dalu)." Huo Yuhao smiled at the guest from the DxD World. They were still entranced by the sudden change of energy because, unlike their world, Douluo Dalu had just stepped from the ancient era. Only 10,000 years passed since thest batch of humans ascended to the God Realm. The world hasn''t gotten polluted. Yes, the Era of Gods just began. Ophis sniffed the air and skipped on the ground a few times. "My body feels heavy." Shemented with a frown. "That''s because the Spirit Energy here is denser," Scathachmented lightly. "No matter how much you trained in the Draconic Deus, it''s nothingpared to this ce." "Of course, since you were quite strong before starting your path as Spirit Master. You have a better start than most people in this world." The God yer added while shrugging her fair shoulders. Ophis pouted. She doesn''t like this restriction on her body. She could still use her ''Infinity.'' but this world seems to reject her power and weaken it by countless folds. "Yuhao, Help me!" Ophis ran to him. Huo Yuhao rubbed Ophis''s head helplessly and responded, "You can just open the seal on your body, you know?" "Oh, you''re right." Ophis''s eyes lit up. She pressed her hand against her chest and released the seal that locked some of her strength. A burst of purple aura exuded from Ophis''s body, catching everyone off guard. The ground shattered, which left some Architects from the Dragon Nest speechless. They knew Ophis was strong because she could herself against Scathach''s training for one year, showing remarkable growth. However, they forgot to factorize that Ophis was one of the strongest creatures in her homeworld. Her strength is bound to increase by leap, considering Scathach never holds back when she wants to teach someone. "Shit! We need to fix the whole thing now." The head researcher, Xiao Chen, grumbled in annoyance. After returning from another world, Xiao Chen nned to bury himself in research as he possessed many new materials. It is because Ophis cracked the ground and the arrays underneath it. "Maybe I can help?" Azazel walked out with a grin. He already has that dirty look on his face, annoying Xiao Chen. "Fuck off." Xiao Chen rolled his eyes. "You haven''t even mastered the 3rd Stage of Spirit Engineering." Azazelughed and countered, "Hehe, someone didn''t give me material to study, so I can''t master the 3rd Stage of Spirit Engineering." "Ignore them..." Huo Yuhao''s eyebrow twitched at these two maniacs'' antics. "How is your body?" Ophis balled her little hand into a fist a few times and answered, "Weak, but better than earlier." "Can we have dessert first?" Such an absurd change of topic will baffle anybody. Still, Huo Yuhao shook his head and contacted someone from his wristwatch. The outermost wall parted and revealed a beautiful woman. It was Huo Yuhao''s secretary, Liu Mei. "Leader, you have returned?" Liu Mei was puzzled. She''s also excited. It was a good thing that Huo Yuhao and others returned. They are two months and a half earlier than she expected. It also means they conquered another world in just over a year. Liu Mei gazed at Huo Yuhao with deep admiration, thinking only a man like him could achieve such a feat. She then nced at the unfamiliar group of people and sensed a suffocating presence from some of them. ''And he also brought some formidable people.'' Liu Mei thought to herself. ''Hmm?'' The silver-haired woman in the group gazed at Liu Mei solemnly, making thetter sense of wariness. But again, Liu Mei isn''t the type of woman who backed down without a fight. Electricity flickered between their gazes. Their Haki sh causes the surrounding air to tremble slightly. Grayfia Lucifuge felt threatened when Liu Mei entered the room. Yes, this was her first time after bing Huo Yuhao''s personal maid/secretary! A rival finally appeared! "Not bad." Liu Mei overwhelms Grayfia with Conqueror''s Haki, causing the devil maid to frown in displeasure. Scathach chuckled andmented, "Grayfia, Liu Mei is one of the top powerhouses in the Dragon Nest. Even with a better starting point, you wouldn''t pose a threat to her." "Is that so?" Grayfia faintly smiled, not denying nor agreeing with Scathach''sment. She has pride as Huo Yuhao''s Maid! She won''t admit defeat! "I''ll return to my room and sleep." Scathach shook her head, walking away. "There aren''t many important things to do anyway." "Dragon Nest, Dismissed!" Huo Yuhao promptly announced. The original Dragon Nest Member heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the altar room. The majority of them have a family of their own. So, not seeing their rtives for over a year would pile up homesick one way or another. After they left, only individuals from the DxD remained and waited for Huo Yuhao''s order. "Psst, Vali. What do you think about this world?" Ikusei Tobio asked the current generation of White Dragon Emperor. Vali Lucifer crossed his arms and replied, "I don''t know." "What matters the most is that this was stronger! I couldn''t help but imagine how much I''d grow on this new stage." "Never mind, I forgot you were a training maniac." Ikusei Tobie sighed in defeat. Huo Yuhao pulled a box from his inventory and opened it before them, revealing several customized wristwatches. "Everyone gets one each." "This wristwatch was a technology I developed. It has a built-in coordinator and helper, Giana." "The wristwatch will bind to your biometrics and spiritual matter." "We used CC or Contribution Credits in the Dragon Nest to exchange resources and many other things. Since you just joined, I have added 100,000 CCs to your ounts. That is more than enough for a day." "If you need further exnation, you can ask Giana herself." "Well, take it." Azazel was the first to move. He picked a random wristwatch and wore it on his left hand, feeling something connected to his body and soul. Even though the connection was surface level, it was enough to let Giana help them. "Amazing..." Azazel uttered while scrolling through the wristwatch''s function. Information keeps shing on the holographic screen. Others also wore wristwatches, checking their function. "Okay, you''re free to roam around the Dragon Nest''s Territories except for some restricted areas." Huo Yuhao told them casually. "We will meet again in twelve hours." "You guys are also dismissed." "Don''t bete. I would hold a banquet to wee your arrival." "Liu Mei, report." He added while staring at the Queen of Thunder. Liu Mei nodded and smiled, "Okay." ... Upon walking out of the altar room, the guests from the DxD World gasped in surprise. "Wow." Kuroka''s cat-like eyes shone brightly. Before their eyes, a vastndscape surrounded by mountains and forest appeared. A gentle gust of wind brushed their faces, giving them a feel of afortable atmosphere. For Youkai, they couldn''t help but shudder in pleasure. "This is best!" Kunou''s little body trembled in excitement. "Agree, Nyaa!" Koneko nodded in agreement. Kuroka nced at these two fellows and giggled, "Yuhao, let us free for twelve hours. Let''s explore the ce, Nyaa!" As others watched the three Youkai fly away, they also felt intrigued by this world and wanted to explore themselves. Ajuka Beelzebub and Azazel stared at each other. "Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Azazel asked while rubbing his hands like a shady guy in the back alley. "Yup." Ajuka nodded slightly. "HAHAHA, TO THE LIBRARY~!" Azazel''s maniacalugh rang in the mountain. Vali Lucifer checked his wristwatch and grinned, pulling Ikusei Tobio with him. "Let''s check the arena. I want to fight." "You too, Arthur, Le Fay!" "..." Ikuse Tobio. "Hai, Vali-san!" Le Fay sat on her broom and followed from behind. "..." Arthur Pendragon. "Interesting, interesting! Count me in, Vali!" Sairaorg Bael jumped and ran alongside the White Dragon Emperor. "I want to see the wonder of this Cultivation World." "From now on, I shall start my path toward the Immortal Realm!" Xenovia Quarta pulled Asia Argento and said, "Asia, I want to check weaponsmiths here." "Okay, Xenovia-san." Asia nodded, wanting to change her fighting glove as well. Griselda Quarta was troubled, finding it awkward to stand alone until Nico Robin proposed to explore the city in Dragon Nest''s main base together. Interested, Griselda agreed and left with Nico Robin. ''Whatever.'' Huo Yuhao thought while staring at this group of people. Liu Mei finished her report and returned to the office a while ago. "Yuhao, Yuhao. I''m hungry." Ophis pulled the corner of Huo Yuhao''s clothes. "Me too!" Tiamat joined the conversation. "Me three!" Gabriel hugged Huo Yuhao''s arm. "I will follow wherever Yuhao-sama goes," Grayfia said while standing beside Huo Yuhao. "The same goes for me." Venna smiled warmly at Huo Yuhao. Ingvild Leviathan didn''t say anything, but she also entered Huo Yuhao''s circle with a smile. "Fufu, he''s quite popr, isn''t it?" Minamoto no Raikou walked to Huo Yun''er. Huo Yun''er giggled, "Of course!" "He''s my son, after all." Chapter 221: Catching Up With Others Chapter 221: Catching Up With Others --- Chapter 218 --- At the Dragon Nest''s Main City, Naga''s Den. Huo Yuhao led several girls anddies to his home, enjoying avish lunch with them. Since Huo Yuhao couldn''t let them down, he cooked the meals with the help of Grayfia and served a ton of food. One might wonder why a ton of food. The answer is gluttonous dragons, Ophis and Tiamat. When Ophis said she was hungry, she meant it. As for Tiamat, she doesn''t want to lose against the Ouroboros Dragon. Everyone finished their food and sat in the living room. Ophisid down, rubbing her slightly bulging stomach. "Yuhao, you were filling me up." "It''s so good..." Every woman in the room froze and cast a meaningful nce at Ophis. It sounds innocent when Ophis says it, but the underlying message behind her words makes them wonder something. "Um, Yuhao-san. Can you exin more about this world?" Ingvild suddenly raised her hand bashfully. "I know someone already exined to us before going here, but I want to hear it from your perspective." Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "Are you sure?" "Mm." Ingvild Leviathan nodded her head firmly, followed by others as well. Watching their look of interest, Huo Yuhao exined the basics of the Douluo Dalu World. How people live, cultivate, and many others. He added some of his perspectives, which impressed thedies even more. They finally learned how the Dragon Nest came into existence. At six years old, Huo Yuhao actually ran away from home with his mother, saving countless people and building this massive yet powerful faction from scratch. Of course, Huo Yuhao didn''t disclose the matter of the system. Although Evo helped with many things, what Huo Yuhao did couldn''t be replicated with ''Upgrades'' alone. He gained the trust of people at a young age. That alone impressed them. "I''m just lucky." Huo Yuhao casually stated upon sensing their admiring gazes. "Yuhao-sama, luck is also part of one''s power." Grayfia Lucifuge shook her head. "That''s true, Father," Gabriel added, smiling knowingly at him. Huo Yun''er giggled andmented, "Hao''er is the luckiest person I know." "Aside from him, I only know one individual with a deep affinity toward luck." "Oh, who is this particr individual, Mistress Huo?" Venna asked while sipping a cup of tea like the noble she was. "That would be me." A melodious voice echoed in the living room. They instinctively turned around and saw a breathtaking beauty standing in the hallway. Weirdly, their expressions staggered a secondter. A blue-haired beauty stood before them. The beauty is quite tall, wearing deer-themed blue-white pajamas with real antlers and a furred tail sticking out of the hood and back. "Everyone, let me introduce you to the Guardian of the Dragon Nest." "She''s Huang Yuna, also known as the Auspicious Monarch." "Hi!" Huang Yuna greeted them with a wave of hand, making her look cuter. Huo Yuhao rested his chin on the couch and asked, "I''m back, Yuna. But what''s with the pajamas?" "Hehe, I asked Liu Mei to design it for me!" Huang Yuna ced her hands on the hip and proudly puffed her chest. "Look, I even put an ''Immortal Bread Master.'' embroidery here." Everyone looked at her upper right chest, seeing a brown bread loaf logo with a shade, white beard, and mustache. "Interesting..." Huo Yuhao. He doesn''t know what to say. Well, he was more amused than anything. "Anyway, it seems the pendant I gave protects you well." Huang Yuna nced at Huo Yuhao, sensing the incredible change from him. She hadn''t seen Huo Yuhao for a few months, and he actually became a God. The same goes for Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er. However, Huang Yuna discovered something amiss. She has overheard her mother mentioning God''s limit in the mortal world. After all, the mere presence of a God-level being could change a mortal world due to the difference in the dimensions. Of course, most of these changes are harmful as they could impact mortals, potentially killing them. That''s why Gods and Goddesses ascended to the Divine Realm, staying there that befitted their status. Not to mention, the flow of time in the Divine Realm is faster than the Mortal Realm. Sensing Bread Enjoyer''s confusion, Yae popped out of nowhere with an ice cream and said, "Let me exin." "Ah, you are?" Huang Yuna blinked her eyes in surprise. She felt the same feeling in Huo Yun''er from this fox-like woman. There is also a massive luck flowing to this woman. "Yae, the Mentor of Huo Yun''er. Nice to meet you." Yae introduced herself while cupping her hands. "Although you haven''t met me before, I''ve long known you." "I see, so what can you exin Yae?" Huang Yuna epted Yae as a friend, sensing no ill intent from her. ''Uh, oh. It ain''t good.'' Huo Yuhao looked at Yae solemnly. This fox deity targeted Huang Yuna immediately after having her on sight. She used to share a body with Huo Yun''er, limiting her contact with the Auspicious Monarch. But now, it''s different. Yae cleared her throat and said, "Huo Yuhao and others didn''t affect this world, even after they ascended to Godhood, because they reached this realm in another world where the Law of the universe is looser than here." "With this loophole, they be independent Deities not directly tied to a universe." "Oh yeah, they also don''t have to spend time to get a Godseat like in this world, as it depends on theirprehension. In other words, they could be any God they wished for." "Amazing, is something like that possible?" Huang Yuna was baffled. "Of course," Yae responded with a grin. "You could also do the same, but I advise you to hold back on the breakthrough until Huo Yuhao sets the pathway between two worlds." "Me, bing a God?" Huang Yuna''s eyes twinkled in expectation. She took Yae''s bait without noticing it. Ten thousand years ago, when a group of humans and a spirit beast ascended to the Divine Realm, Huang Yuna felt envious for the first time. Now, she could achieve the same. "Yuhao, hurry up and set the pathway!" She gazed at Huo Yuhao intensely. Huo Yuhao raised his arm helplessly and responded, "We just returned home, Yuna." "Can you let me rest first?" "Then, rest first." Huang Yuna nodded, wanting Huo Yuhao and others to take a proper first after such a lengthy mission. Huo Yuhao red at Yae for giving Huang Yuna this idea, but the fox deity innocently whistled and ignored him. "Hao''er, I''ll bring thedies around." Huo Yun''er suddenly said, smiling at him. "Sure." "I''ll stay and watch the house." "You''re funny, Yuhao. As if anyone dares to rob this house." Qianye Ying''ermented with a giggle. "Who knows?" ''Welp, I''m alone now. My clone maintained itself for quite a while.'' Huo Yuhao suddenly thought. ''I wonder what he is doing right now.'' Heid on the couch and closed his eyes, connecting himself with the clone. ... Star Dou Forest, Outer Area. A group of youths traveled in the Star Dou Forest. It''s been three months since they joined the Shrek Academy, and the exam to enter the Inner Court is close. They visited the Star Dou Forest to temper themselves and get suitable Spirit Rings. "Yuhao, I think the two-headed eagle is suitable for me." "Don''t you think so?" A red-haired young woman said while sitting on a tree branch. This young woman is Ma Xiaotao, who restarted her cultivation path. Huo Yuhao just entered his clone and blinked a few times. "Yuhao, are you okay?" Xiao Xiaonded on the tree branch and looked at him concerned. "Yeah. For you, I know this journey will be boring..." Ma Xiaotao said while lowering her head. "With your strength and resources from the Dragon Nest, there is no need for hunting Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Forest." Huo Yuhao shook his head and responded, "It''s okay." "I''m just thinking about something." He gazed at the two youngdies and smiled inside, thinking he missed them after leaving this world for a while. Xiao Xiao and Ma Xiaotao sighed in relief. As Huo Yuhao absorbed the memory of his clone, he opened his mouth and said, "Let''s go with the Two-Headed Eagle." "I''ll help this time." "Really? Yey~!" Ma Xiaotao hugged Huo Yuhao excitedly, pushing her chest against his face. Cough! Cough! "Senior, mind your image." Xiao Xiao faked coughs and indifferently red at the red-haired senior of hers. "Hehe~!" Ma Xiaotao did not mind the gaze and let out a heartfulugh. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao stared into the distance. ''Maybe I can meet her today.'' Chapter 222: Visiting the Star Dou Forest Again Chapter 222: Visiting the Star Dou Forest Again --- Chapter 219 --- Huo Yuhao hummed while walking in the Star Dou Forest. The beautiful senior sister Ma Xiaotao and cute ssmate Xiao Xiao also apanied him. They are hugging his arms, not showing any sign of letting it off. Oh yeah, they aren''t the only ones on this little journey. Behind them is a small group of students from the Shrek Academy, or more precisely, the remaining members of the Tang Sect and the cross-dressing daughter of Sea God. "Why are we here again?" Wang Dong grumbled while looking at Huo Yuhao''s back. This guy acted like this was a stroll in a park. Since the beginning of their school year, Huo Yuhao and exchange students of the Dragon Nest have stolen every limelight. Their cultivation bases are beyond the norm, with a superior advantage over everything. Even their breathing ''literally.'' is better than everyone in the Shrek Academy. Wang Dong couldn''t remember nor ess her memory as her father sealed it, but wasn''t she supposed to be one of the most talented people in this world? (AN: Her disguise is still on) Tang Ya watched her grumbling junior in amusement and giggled, "It''s better if you don''tpare yourself with Huo Yuhao." "Even us seniors still couldn''t believe such ridiculous standards the Dragon Nest used." "Right, Bei?" "Yeah." The inheritor of Light Holy Dragon smiled weakly. Bei Bei has been observing the Dragon Nest''s exchange students for months. And yes, He couldn''t find a way to win against any of them. Even if he used his Martial Soul''s mutation, he wouldn''t be much of a threat to them. Elder Mu En, the current pavilion master of Sea God Pavilion, warned him several times about offending the Dragon Nest''s exchange students, especially Huo Yuhao. Unknown to Elder Mu En, Bei Bei has long thought about this. When Bei Bei met Huo Yuhao a few months ago, he could feel his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon felt a suffocating fear. It shook his body and soul, making his blood boil just by being near Huo Yuhao. Fortunately, Bei Bei considered the suffocating fear a good training. His Blue Lightnin Tyrant Dragon has shown a qualitative change. "Sanshi, the bet you said earlier is still on?" Xu Sanshi snorted, "Of course." "You''re just too pussy to admit it." The corner of Bei Bei''s mouth raised. "Then, let''s start the bet." Bei Bei responded calmly. Jiang Nannan sighed at Xu Sanshi''s silliness. They areing to the Star Dou Forest, not to y around. Some of them are here to hunt Spirit Rings! "For god sake." Jiang Nannan nced at Huo Yuhao. She thought about something and shook her head, "Let''s not rely on others first. You can do this, Nannan." Huo Yuhao sensed somethinging toward them but didn''t say anything to warn them. He stayed quiet, observing these people. ''Let''s see how much they have improved.'' He thought casually. The most sensitive one in the group noticed something. It was Xiao Xiao. "Something ising! Northwest, it''s fast!" She warned everyone. Jiang Nannan was about to warn them as her bunny ears twitched slightly. She was one step behind. ''This is...'' Jiang Nannan squinted her eyes at Xiao Xiao. "Huyah!" Xu Sanshi summoned his martial soul. Several hexagonal ck steel pieces appeared and surrounded everyone in defensive patterns. Tang Ya''s eyes lit up slightly as the surrounding grasnd sent a signal to her. "It''s a Giant Thunder Rhinoceros!" She squealed in excitement. "Fuck." Xu Sanshi cursed under his breath. Bei Bei grinned at Xu Sanshi, "Well, well. Looks like we can determine the winner of this bet." Before entering the Star Dou Forest, Xu Sanshi challenged Bei Bei on how lucky they were. They are earth-oriented and lightning-oriented Spirit Masters, meaning their bet is ''actually'' based on what spirit beasts will appearter. "Tsk, it''s just one of three. Don''t be too sure." Xu Sanshi countered. Bei Bei''s right arm bes more muscr. Blue dragon scales appeared one after another, and his fingers turned into dragon ws. An arc of lightning hovered around his arm. ''Oh? His bloodline essence increased by 50% in just a few months.'' Huo Yuhao noticed the dragon aura from Bei Bei was much thicker than before. Still, he also caught Bei Bei''s controlcking. "It''s here!" Xiao Xiao summoned her Three Lives Soul Sealing Cauldrons. Using Xu Sanshi''s hexagonal shield pieces, Xiao Xiao ced her cauldrons purposely in front. A massive green-skinned rhinoceros appeared, sting trees left and right. Its body is ''thoroughly'' coated with intense electricity, especially its great horn. "7,000 years old Giant Thunder Rhinoceros, nice." Bei Beimented with excitement. Xiao Xiao''s cauldron released intense evil light and enveloped the spirit beast, weakening it. "Quake." She clenched her fist, causing the air to tremble. Bei Bei seized this chance and used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, leaving several afterimages behind. His speed exploded even further, allowing him to reach the Giant Thunder Rhinoceros. Four spirit rings appeared around him. "Thunderp." Bei Bei raised one of his dragon ws, concentrating lightning into its tip. "One Finger: Strike." BANG! The Giant Thunder Rhinoceros let out a painful groan. Bei Bei has sessfully pierced through its defense. ''Excellent control and chance grasping.'' Huo Yuhaomented, seeing hexagonal shield pieces float above the Giant Thunder Rhinoceros. Xu Sanshi exchanged himself with a piece of wood falling from the sky and dove down. "Shield Meteor." He said with four spirit rings near him. BAM! A ck shield appeared and smacked the Giant Thunder Rhinoceros''s head heavily. "Nannan!" Xu Sanshi exchanged ces with Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan teleported to Xu Sanshi''s position. She has already entered a stance and smashed her leg against the Giant Thunder Rhinoceros''s right eye. ''Nice coordination.'' Huo Yuhao smiled at these two. A furious snort escaped the spirit beast''s nose. It stared at Jiang Nannan and charged up, wanting to pierce her with its horn. Jiang Nannan smiled and kicked the air, showing her flexible body. She dodged the horn and gave Tang Ya a signal. Tang Ya waved her hand, and countless vines wrapped around the Giant Thunder Rhinoceros''s body. A faint dark light released from the vines, making the spirit beast ufortable. "Bind." Tang Ya maintained her control. Wang Dong didn''t stay idle as a pair of butterfly wings appeared on her back. She stretched her hand and created a prison made of light elements. Thebination of dark and light elements caused the spirit beast''s body to be heavier. "Senior Brother Bei, finish it!" "I know." Bei Bei rushed again. The thunder element concentrated in her dragon ws as he dragged them down. "Five Fingers: Cuts." SWOOOSH! BOOM! A cloud of dust flew everywhere. Bei Bei''s eyes shone with deep purple light as he heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his hand, causing Tang Ya to hop twice into a giddy mood. The dust cleared, and a purple spirit ring rose. "Sess." Jiang Nannan looked at the spirit beast''s corpse. "Hehe, our coordination is bing better and better." Xu Sanshi approached her with a smug expression. Jiang Nannan scoffed, "You''re just lucky." After that, Jiang Nannan walked away and left Xu Sanshi behind. Xu Sanshi has a helpless expression on his face. He chased after this girl to the Shrek Academy, hoping to mend their awkward rtionship. Unfortunately, there is no result so far. The trauma he inflicted has yet to recover. Unknown to Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan gave him a less cold shoulder than usual. In the past, she would ignore her straightforwardly and not utter a single word. Everyone walked to the spirit beast''s corpse, watching Bei Bei checking for spirit bones. "Wow, you guys actually found a spirit bone." Ma Xiaotaomented in surprise. Her ruby-like eyes twinkled slightly. "Uh..." Huo Yuhao probably knew how this happened. Since he was part of the team, his extreme luck brought quite a fortune to others. On top of that, he''s literally the God of Fortune. It would be weird if something like this didn''t happen. Wang Dong peeked into Bei Bei''s hand and shouted, "It''s actually an External Spirit Bone!" "Oh my god!" ''You mean oh my father?'' Huo Yuhao gave Wang Dong a strange look. Meanwhile, the others were shocked. They immediately surrounded Bei Bei and saw a green crystal horn in his hand. The horn emitted faint electricity. "This is a treasure." Bei Bei sighed, thinking about how he should share this with everyone. Using it would be the best, but everyone contributed to this fight. They also didn''t know the ability of this External Spirit Bone. Bei Bei turned around and stared, "Junior brother, how much did this spirit bone price in the Dragon Nest?" "7,000 years old spirit bone, and external-type at that. It''s quite rare." Huo Yuhao answered while rubbing his chin. "Do you want to exchange something, Senior?" Bei Bei nodded, "If possible, I want everyone on the team to get a share of this spirit bone." Everyone was touched. Bei Bei is a good leader, thinking not for himself but for the whole team. Huo Yuhao shook his head lightly, "Let me check that spirit skill first." "If it has a good ability, the value might increase." Runic words appeared from Huo Yuhao''s hand and touched the spirit bone, emitting a line of information. "What was that?!" Wang Dong pointed her finger at the runic words. "This? It''s a rune, a prettymon thing." Huo Yuhao answered casually, leaving the descendant of Sea God speechless. "Common thing, your head!" Wang Dong couldn''t believe this guy. Chapter 223: A Familiar Face in the Forest Chapter 223: A Familiar Face in the Forest --- Chapter 220 --- Huo Yuhao shrugged, "It''s a prettymon thing in the Dragon Nest." "Every student who graduated from the Dragon Nest Academy must master four-grade runes and its application." "Maybe because you have long believed the Shrek Academy to be the best in this world." He added, giving Wang Dong a mysterious look. What he said isn''t wrong. Wang Dong indeed believes the Shrek Academy is the best in the world, not only because of her personal bias as her parents studied there once but also its deep history. It''s wed as the Sun and Moon Empire and other empires also have the academy with simr qualities. Their level might not be the same as Shrek Academy, but they could nurture powerhouses as well. One of the strongest on the Douluo Continent that''d be a fitting description for the current Shrek Academy. However, the best in the world? No, the Dragon Nest took that title already. "Sorry for popping your bubble, Wang Dong. But you should wake up from your ignorance." Huo Yuhao smiled at the fuming cross-dressing girl. Wang Dong huffed and puffed her cheek, making the other sigh. Huo Yuhao created a few more runes and tranted the analysis to everyone. "Thunder Horn." Ma Xiaotao read out loud. "Age, seven thousand years old." "Type, external spirit bone." "Spirit Skill, Thunderer Transformation." Bei Bei also read the description of Thunderer Transformation and sucked a cold breath, "Upon activation, the possessor of Thunder Horn will enter Thunderer State. Increase reaction speed, attack speed, and damage potency by 150%!" "Thunderer Statests for one minute." "Even a Spirit Master with no lightning element can use it." Xu Sanshi was tempted and gulped nervously. "Adding a lightning element to normal attack..." This Spirit Bone is so good! "Hmm, overall evaluation: B+ Grade." Tang Ya tilted her head. "Yuhao, Yuhao. What does this mean?" Huo Yuhao coughed and exined, "Resources such as Spirit Bone and Rune Stones are divided by grades, starting from F to S." "This external spirit bone is quite valuable." "Sadly, not many people in the Dragon Nest would use it." The reason behind Huo Yuhao''s words is the Universal Breathing Technique and Spirit Circuits. Thebo of the two alone is enough to make this spirit bone lose its value. Still, Thunder Horn''s percentage boost is massive. The 150% increase in reaction speed and attack speed makes it better than other spirit bones of the same grade. After a while, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and said, "How about this? I''ll round up the grade to A, around sixty-nine thousand contribution credits in the Dragon Nest." "With such an amount of credits, you guys could buy six Rune Stones (ck) and some medicinal pills." "Six!" Ma Xiaotao covered her mouth in surprise. Her teacher paid a lot to get some rune stones from the Dragon Nest in the past, but he was ''actually'' generous enough to give them such an amount. "You can also specify the attribute and spirit skills you wanted." Huo Yuhao added that it was not a big deal. Wang Dong and others are numb already. Nevertheless, they stared at Huo Yuhao and cursed in their heads. "Six..." Bei Bei whispered to himself. They currently have eight people on the team. From Huo Yuhao''s tone, he doesn''t seem interested in this lousy treasure. Senior Ma Xiaotao didn''t contribute to the fight, outing them. "What do you think?" Bei Bei nced at others. ''Sure, I have no problem with it." Xu Sanshi raised his arms in defeat. Even though he wanted to obtain Thunder Horn, it doesn''t match his style. "Same." Wang Dong nodded slightly. Tang Ya giggled, "I''ve used Rune Stone once, thanks to Yuhao. It''s more beneficial for our cultivation than this spirit bone." "Then, I also have no problem." Jiang Nannan agreed quickly. "Me too." Xiao Xiao peeked at Huo Yuhao, trying to find a change in his expression. ''Woah. Yuhao, you''re scamming them!'' Tian Meng yelled from the Spiritual World. ''I don''t know what you are talking about?'' Huo Yuhao feigned the truth. The values he set are correct. After all, they got this spirit bone because of his extreme luck. Eluxia observed the spirit bone andmented, ''Such a pure lightning element.'' Bing Di sneered, ''Onlyst for one minute, though. It would be more of a trump card than anything.'' Huo Yuhao sped his hand, "Well, everything settled then." "I''ll give the list of the Rune Stonester. For now, let''s continue." "Senior Xiaotao, your Two-Headed Eagle is next." "Mm." Ma Xiaotao smiled, brimming with expectation. Storing the Thunder Horn into his inventory, they began to roam around the border of Star Dou Forest''s inner and core areas. They encountered several rare and powerful spirit beasts, even ambushed by some, but none met their requirements. After hours of walking, they decided to take a rest. They found a well-concealed cave surrounded by tall trees, which they tidied and set a bonfire. Sitting around the bonfire, Wang Dong decided to cultivate Tang Sect''s cultivation technique. ''The infamous Mysterious Heaven Technique.'' ''A cultivation technique that could absorb the bloodlines of others.'' Huo Yuhao observed Wang Dong''s energy cirction and mimicked it, hearing a notification. [Ding! You have learned the S-Grade Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Heaven Technique] "Oh, well..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile. It seems he hadprehended one of many reasons Tang San became what he is. The benefit the Mysterious Heaven Technique brought is massive. It''s all thanks to Huo Yuhao''s Throne of the Beginning and the End. He could master any technique, using it to 120% of its true potential. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes,paring the ''Mysterious Heaven Technique'' of the Tang Sect and the Universal Breathing Technique. Soon, he discovered the Universal Breathing Technique was superior! Don''t get Huo Yuhao wrong. The ''Mysterious Heaven Technique'' is good, but the Universal Breathing Technique brings the same effect with better efficiency. The Universal Breathing Technique had a massive advantage. There is no use for meditation. Anyone could use it as normal breathing, bing stronger through constant repetition. And more so, with the Spirit Circuits, the Universal Breathing Technique yields more results with less effort. ''Maybe I should upgrade the Mysterious Heaven Technique?'' Huo Yuhao pondered for a bit. After thinking about it, Huo Yuhao decided to wait. He needs Scathach''s assistance in this matter. "Yuhao, you seem to be more reactive than usual?" Ma Xiaotao suddenly poked him with her finger. "Or is it just my feeling?" Huo Yuhao grinned and returned, "What do you think?" "Hmph, probably just my feeling." Ma Xiaotao blushed and swayed her head away. "Yuhao, eat this." Xiao Xiao brought him a fresh sourdough bread from her spatial ring. ''You''d be such a good friend with Yuna, Xiao Xiao.'' Huo Yuhao picked the bread and tasted it. ... Everyone is currently meditating. They recovered their stamina, but the constant roar and cry of spirit beasts always made them alert. Only Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and Xiao Xiao stay calm. They have experienced Scathach''s hellish training, so thesemotions made by spirit beasts are nothing but a joke to them. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. "There is a group of people chased by spirit beasts outside." He said, waking everyone up. "We should help!" Wang Dong uttered instantly. "..." Huo Yuhao. "Are you dumb?" Wang Dong''s chest heaved up and down, "Who did you call dumb?" "Whatever, watch this." Huo Yuhao shared his spiritual vision with everyone. Not far away from their cave, two middle-aged men and two youngdies entered their vision. They are running away from a horde of panther spirit beasts. Huo Yuhao frowned, seemingly recognizing one of the youngdies. "Hah, sometimes my luck is almost frightening." He sighed. "What''s the chance of this happening..." "Well, It''s been a while." "Princess Xu." Chapter 224: Saving the Princess Again Chapter 224: Saving the Princess Again --- Chapter 221 --- "Princess Xu, Lady Yu, keep running." "This horde of Ghostwalker Panthers has a leader with a cultivation base over 90,000 years old." "We''ll fend off their attacks in the meantime." Xu Jiujuu ran in the depths of Star Dou Forest. She held her friend''s hand, breaking through bushes and small trees. A few days ago, Xu Jiujiu discovered a rare herb when hunting for her spirit ring. It was a treasured flower called Phantasmal Star Flower, suitable for her cultivation as she had a star-based Martial Soul. However, who would have thought they''d catch the attention of Spirit Beasts'' Alpha because of it? The alpha Ghostwalker Panther actually coveted the flower and ordered its group to hunt them. Xu Jiujiu and others have been running for hours, knowing damn well those wicked spirit beasts want to dry their stamina. ''They are ying with us(their food).'' Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth. Xu Jiujiu''s friend, Yu Xing, breathed heavily. Her physical prowess and stamina are poorer than Xia Jiujiu, so it was a miracle she could reach this far. "Jiujiu, just leave me behind." Yu Xing put on a weak look. "No, never!" Xu Jiujiu replied sternly. "It''s my fault for underestimating my capability. I should have brought Granny Yi with us." The two middle-aged men behind them were Yu Xing''s bodyguards. Even though they aren''t titled douluo, they are powerful Spirit Douluo. Unfortunately, Spirit Douluo couldn''t fight against a horde of spirit beasts above 10,000 years old. "It''s been a long time, Princess." A voice suddenly entered Xu Jiujiu''s head, causing her to freeze. This voice. She recognized this voice, but where? "Keep running forward, and you''ll meet a body of water." The voice continued to talk. "When you get near the water, an entrance formed by unknown letters will appear." "Jump into the entrance." "Why should I trust you?" Xu Jiujiu wasn''t naive enough to believe this voice. The voice chuckled and returned, "Because I saved you once from an assassin six years ago." "It''s up to believe me or not, but your survival depends on this..." "It''s you!" Xu Jiujiu finally recalled her distant memory. A blue-haired boy she had been dreaming and searching for years. "Jiujiu, are you okay?" Yu Xing was concerned because her friend suddenly shouted out of nowhere. Xu Jiujiu calmed herself down and smiled, "I''m okay. I also found a way to get ourselves out of this situation." "Follow me." They ran toward the body of water, a smallke, and saw a portal made by rotating golden letters appear. "Jump!" Xu Jiujiu dragged her friend, and they jumped into the portal. Xu Jiujiu and Yu Xing arrived at a well-lighted cave and noticed several individuals surrounding them. A group of youth, to be exact. Some are younger, some are older, but they shouldn''t be past eighteen. Unknowingly, Ma Xiaotao appeared younger after her rebirth from the ashes. Xu Jiujiu looked around and spotted a blue-haired, handsome young man in a white uniform. He wore a dragon-themed ck cloak and matching ck pants, adding to his handsomeness. "Long time no see, princess." The blue-haired young man smiled at Xu Jiujiu, making her maiden''s heart throbbing. She finally found her savior! In front of everyone, Xu Jiujiu lunged and hugged Huo Yuhao, leaving them speechless. "I miss you!" She said longingly. "I''ve been searching for you, you know?" "What?!" Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and others couldn''t believe their eyes. "Oy, oy, oy! What happened here? Why did such a beautiful sister hug a scoundrel like Huo Yuhao!" Wang Dong shouted in disbelief. Even the princess''s friend, Yu Xing, was at a loss for words. The youngest princess of the Star Luo Empire is known for her cold, noble, and prideful demeanor. Yet that princess hugged a young man now. Even if Yu Xing told this to others in the Star Luo Empire, she bet no one would believe her. Cough! Cough! "Princess Xu, please get away from Huo Yuhao. You''re making him ufortable." Xiao Xiao stepped forward and split them apart. Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly and returned to her calm demeanor, "You''re Lady Xiao from the Thousand Bakery Merchant." "I thought you studied at Shrek Academy after rejecting my offer a few months ago." "No, wait..." The princess turned around and noticed the uniform they wore. "I see... I believe everyone here is from Shrek Academy?" She bowed slightly and said, "Sorry for showing myck of respect. I was ''simply'' dragged by emotion for a second." "It''s okay, Princess Xu." As the leader of the group, Bei Bei likewise bowed to her. "We understand your feelings." "The adrenaline rush is still running in your blood." "Mm. Thank you for understanding." Xu Jiujiu let out a smile but still standing beside Huo Yuhao. Ma Xiaotao''s eyebrow twitched as she nced at Xiao Xiao. They thought the same thing. ''This fellow is shameless!'' "Before we talk, I''ll save your bodyguards first." Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and created another portal where two middle-aged men appeared and crashed to the ground. BAM! Cloud of dust washed everywhere. Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and the girls covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, not wanting dust on their faces. "And done." Huo Yuhao closed the portal and also cut a panther''s head in the process. "So powerful..." Wang Dong''s eyes lit up. "Is this the power of the runes?" "Want to learn?" Huo Yuhao shed a smirk at the crossdressing girl. "Hmph, I never said that." Wang Dong swayed her head away. Huo Yuhao shrugged and nced at Xu Jiujiu, "Wee to our group, Princess." "This was an unwanted region, but let me introduce myself first." "My name is Huo Yuhao. My current affiliation is Shrek Academy after bing their exchange student for a few months." "Xiao Xiao, Shrek Academy''s First Year Student." Xiao Xiao said after Huo Yuhao. She squinted her eyes at the Star Luo Empire''s Princess. Ma Xiaotao scoffed, "Ma Xiaotao, I''m Huo Yuhao... ''s Senior." ''Why is the specificationte?'' Everyone thought when Ma Xiaotao introduced herself. "Bei Bei, also from Shrek Academy." Bei Bei introduced himself humbly. "Tang Ya! Nice to meet you, princess." Tang Ya giggled. "Xu Sanshi, we have met once, Princess Xu." Xu Sanshi smiled slightly. Xu Jiujiu narrowed her eyes, "I don''t know that the second young master of the Mystic Water n came to Shrek." Xu Sanshi peeked at Jiang Nannan and returned, "Well, there was a mistake I must fix." "Is that so?" Xu Jiujiu followed his gaze and found Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan gave the princess a respectful nod, "My name is Jiang Nannan. Nice to meet you." "N-Nice to meet you, Princess!" Wang Dong stuttered with a robot-like tone. "I was so nervous. You''re so beautiful, after all." "Hehe, thank you for thepliment." Xu Jiujiu politely covered her mouth and giggled. "Then, it''s my turn..." "My name is Xu Jiujiu, and I''m the second princess of the Star Luo Empire." "This is my friend, Yu Xing." She added while gesturing her slender arm to thedy beside her. "Hi." Yu Xing added with a small smile. "As for the bodyguards, feel free to call them Elder Jun, Elder Kun." Elder Jun and Elder Kun nodded, sighing in relief because that horde of panthers was scary. "And once again, I want to say thank you for saving us." Xu Jiujiu finished with gratitude. "You''re wee." Huo Yuhao yawned slightly. "You should rest for now." "The night is about toe, so walking around in the Star Dou Forest will be dangerous." "Don''t worry about this ce''s safety. I''ve ced some barriers outside." Xu Jiujiu''s eyes brightened at such a skilled young man. ''As expected of my savior!'' The princess thought to herself. Everyone settled down after the introduction, telling the short story about what happened to them recently. Huo Yuhao leaned on the cave''s wall and felt Xu Jiujiu''s gaze. "Ask if you want to know something, princess." Huo Yuhao uttered while keeping his eyes closed. "Then..." Xu Jiujiu opened her rosy lips. "Where have you been all this time?" Chapter 225: Story Time, Ma Xiaotaos New Spirit Ring Chapter 225: Story Time, Ma Xiaotao''s New Spirit Ring --- Chapter 222 --- Where have I been all this time, huh? Xu Jiujiu''s question made Huo Yuhao recall his moment in the Draconic Deus and Everlith Universe. The events, The Great War, The Battle of the Underworld, Preventing the Everlith Universe from destruction, and the Record of Ragnarok. It felt like yesterday, but a few years passed for Huo Yuhao. He suffered but ultimately won every battle and war. Of course, Xu Jiujiu''s question focused on when Huo Yuhao was young. "Oh, I''m also curious about this." Xiao Xiao sat down and cleaned her pants, waiting for Huo Yuhao to tell his story. After all, there was a six-year gap when Xiao Xiao saw Huo Yuhao for thest time before reuniting in Shrek Academy. The same goes for everyone, as they never heard this monstrous blue-haired young man utter about his past. Huo Yuhao didn''t n to reveal himself this early, but after reaching the Realm of Gods, his identity wasn''t a concern anymore. And to be fair, he''s not dumb enough to reveal everything. That''s why he would go with a modified story. "Let''s see..." He said while rubbing his chin. "Six years ago, after awakening my Martial Soul, my mother and I left the Star Luo Empire and embarked on an unknown journey." "We met bandits on the way, but fortunately, someone saved us." "And that person is Dragon Nest''s Leader!" Huo Yuhao made a deeply moved look on his face. It was a lie, but everyone believed him. "Dragon Nest''s Leader." Everyone gasped in surprise. Even Wang Dong, who is new to Dragon Nest, knows that such a figure is probably a Limit Douluo with boundless power. "The most mysterious expert in history..." Xu Jiujiu muttered solemnly. "To found a super organization like Dragon Nest, that person must be ''unbelievably'' strong." "I can only say one thing about the leader. He''s someone close to bing a god." Huo Yuhao mysteriously riddled them. "He... So, Dragon Nest''s Leader is a man." Elder Yun and Elder Kun, on the sidelines, sighed in respect. "Bing god..." Wang Dong frowned slightly. Although her memory was ''inherently'' sealed, she couldn''t help but instinctively detest anyone who imed such a thing. But she kept it for herself. After all, she knows nothing about the so-called legendary figure. It''s not just her, as everyone in this cave is the same. Dragon Nest''s information is ''tightly'' kept. Their security system is no joke! Some brave people dared to attack the auction held by the Dragon Nest a few months ago and werepletely wiped from existence by the Dragon Nest''s Queen of Thunder. "Well, that matter aside. After we got saved by the Dragon Nest''s Leader." "He led us to several ces, even taking me as his personal disciple." He continued with a chuckle. "We left the continent and discovered a new ce to settle, building everything from scratch until now. I can''t say much details, except that all those years were very intense and exciting." "It was just recently that Dragon Nest revealed itself, no?" Huo Yuhao shed a grin at them. "No way..." Xu Sanshi uttered in disbelief. "I''m calling a fat lie on that personal disciple part." Ma Xiaotao''s expression darkened, "Uh, Sanshi. You might not know, but when Huo Yuhao arrived as an exchange student from the Dragon Nest Academy, Shrek got a letter to treat him well, or else they woulde to our front door..." "Meaning, Yuhao is pretty much telling the truth." "..." Everyone. Bei Bei patted Xu Sanshi''s shoulder andmented, "Did you forget Junior Yuhao is much stronger than you?" "He could wipe you off the floor anytime he wants." "Idiot..." Jiang Nannan mumbled and swayed her head, leaving Xu Sanshi''s mouth open. "Hehe, he''s indeed an idiot." Tang Ya joined, teasing the shield user. They didn''t know that Xu Sanshi''s lie sense was correct. Huo Yuhao lied about bing the disciple of the Dragon Nest''s Leader as he was the leader himself! The only possible scenario Huo Yuhao could teach himself is by meeting his past or future self. Hold up, don''t raise a g here. "I left the rest to your imagination." Huo Yuhao said to Xu Jiujiu, who responded with a nod. Xu Jiujiu sighed, "...No wonder I couldn''t find you." "So, you joined the Dragon Nest from its early point." "You''re very lucky, Huo Yuhao." She winked at him. Hehe, you have no idea, princess. The person sitting before you is a literal God of Fortune! After the shocking story, everyone closed their eyes and rested despite the roars and cries of the spirit beast outside. Wang Dong nced at Huo Yuhao now and then. However, she decided to stay quiet as she didn''t want to disturb anyone. ''God...'' She closed her eyes, falling into the dream world. Everyone fell asleep, and Huo Yuhao opened his blue eyes slightly. He nced at the ceiling and shook his head internally. ''Tang San is probably observing us right now.'' ''Unfortunately for him, I wouldn''t expose everything important about the Dragon Nest.'' ''Just wait there, Tang San. The Douluo Divine Realm will be my yground soon.'' Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. ... The sunrise on the Star Dou Forest and all the nocturnal spirit beasts returned to their nest. Everyone opened their eyes one after another, whether you were spirit beasts hunting for food, nts with fresh dews, or humans on this morning day. The bonfire died slowly. Ma Xiaotao stretched her body and found herself in a very particr situation. She leaned on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder without realizing it. With a blush on her cheeks, Ma Xiaotao gently lifted her head, not wanting to awaken the blue-haired young man. "Morning." Huo Yuhao winked at her suddenly. "Kyaa!" Ma squealed and woke everyone up. "Y-You, hmph!" She pouted her lips after doing such an embarrassing thing this morning, demandingpensation from Huo Yuhao because he was actually awake all this time. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "My bad." "There, you''ll feel betterter." He rubbed the red-haireddy''s head and transferred mental energy to soothe her mind. The fresh and pleasant sensation overran Ma Xiaotao''s head as she moaned softly, causing every girl in the cave to redden slightly. ''What did they do in the morning!'' The girls thought simultaneously. Meanwhile, the males feltplicated inside. They are either jealous or admire Huo Yuhao for being brave enough to do this. "What? I''m only patting her." Huo Yuhao lifted his hand, making a longing expression appear on Ma Xiaotao''s face. "Nothing sexual here." "Yeah, sure..." Wang Dong cast a suspicious gaze on Huo Yuhao. "Me next, Yuhao~!" Xiao Xiao excitedly crawled from her lying position. "Okay, then." Huo Yuhao smiled and stretched his hand. Soon, the cave filled with moans, especially after other girls were curious about Huo Yuhao''s technique. After preparing a few more things, the group started their journey for Ma Xiaotao''s spirit ring. The princess and herpanions also followed as it was better to be safe than sorry. The hunt for the Two-Headed Eagle isn''t easy, but they discover it three hourster. Everyone spread out as a massive three-headed eagle over ten meters tall with brownish-red feathers and wing spans over twenty meters hovered in the sky. "Three Heads..." Ma Xiaotao''s eyes lit up. "This Eagle actually mutated and mastered one more element." "You''re lucky, Senior Ma." Tang Ya and Jiang Nannanmented. Ma Xiaotaoughed, "Hehe, our efforts are paying off." Huo Yuhao waved his runes and struck the spirit beast with it, gaining its information. "Three-Headed Giant Eagle." "Age, 75,800 years old." "It''s the final evolution of Two-Headed Eagle after mastering one more element. Its original Wind and Fire Elements be stronger, adding up the Lightning Element and bing King of the Sky." "It has a faint bloodline of Sky Roc." "So strong..." Everyone mumbled to themselves. "This is basically impossible to fight." Wang Dong cursed under her breath. "Don''t worry." Xiao Xiao confidently said. "We have Yuhao on our side." "Just how much did you trust him..." Wang Dong was speechless. "Everything. I trust Yuhao with everything." Xiao Xiao is determined.4 Yu Xing pulled Xu Jiujiu''s sleeve, and uncertainty whispered, "Jiujiu, maybe we should retreat." "Even Elder Jun and Elder Kun aren''t confident of winning this." "Don''t you hear the girl earlier?" Princess Xu smiled slightly. "We should trust Yuhao more." Under everyone''s watchful gaze, Huo Yuhao gazed at the spirit beast and released a bit of his Conqueror''s Haki. An intense wave of pressure erupted, shocking them to the core. More so for the Three-Headed Giant Eagle. It let out a piercing cry, experiencing a painful moment. "Attack!" Ma Xiaotao summoned five ck spirit rings and rushed toward the spirit beasts. They were awakened from their shock and followed her. After an intense fight and some help from Huo Yuhao, they sessfully defeated the Three-Headed Giant Eagle. Ma Xiaotao breathed heavily, staring at the dying spirit beast. "You''re an honorable one." She respected the spirit beast before creating a sharp fire sword and stabbing the eagle''s main head. The eagle watched the fire sword approaching its head and closed his eyes willingly. After Huo Yuhao released his Conqueror''s Haki, the spirit beast knew today was its end. Escape is futile. A deep-colored ck spirit ring floated out. "What are you waiting for? Absorb it." Huo Yuhao said, but then he recalled something. "Ah, wait a second... Drink this as well." He threw something at her. Ma Xiaotao caught a small bottle and tilted her head, "What is this?" "Something that makes your Phoenix Martial Soul even stronger." Huo Yuhao returned nonchntly. [One of seventy-two devil pir ns, Phenex n''s Bloodline] Chapter 226: Ma Xiaotaos Upgrade Chapter 226: Ma Xiaotao''s Upgrade --- Chapter 223 --- [One of seventy-two devil pir ns, Phenex n''s Bloodline] ''Yuhao, are you going to test the power of Draconic Deus''s devil on the Douluo Dalu''s native now?'' Eluxia asked from the Spiritual World. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, ''Yes.'' ''We have seen the potential shown from the Draconic Deus''s people.'' ''Right now, I want to see what happens when otherworldly elements, such as bloodline, make contact with our native.'' ''Hmm, this girl is an interesting subject.'' Eluxiamented on Ma Xiaotao with an amused look. The necromancer observed Ma Xiaotao''s body and discovered that thetter possessed a pure Martial Soul. If she remembered correctly, this girl cleansed her Evil Fire Phoenix with Huo Yuhao''s help and changed into the Origin Phoenix. She also knew that the Phenex n, one of the 72 Devil ns, was not really evil. In contrast to the 72 Devil Pirs she knew. The Phenex n bore extreme regenerative ability, granting them immortality, but you can still kill them with a hard enough hit. They also could wield Hellfire and Wind Element. What would happen when these aspects be one with Ma Xiaotao, the Origin Phoenix''s possessor? Under everyone''s watchful gaze, Ma Xiaotao calmed her breath and sat down on the ground. She summoned her Origin Fire Phoenix and slowly pulled the spirit ring of the Three-Headed Eagle, absorbing it into her martial soul. Any experienced Spirit Master wouldn''t be this calm when absorbing a spirit ring in the middle of the Star Dou Forest. However, Ma Xiaotao wasn''t worried because she had Huo Yuhao''s protection. She nced at Huo Yuhao and saw him nodding at her. She smiled at Huo Yuhao and used the Breathing Technique that the demonicdy(Scathach) taught her. Spirit energy in her body flowed to every meridian, opening them. Several faint green lines lit up on Ma Xiaotao''s skins, which baffled the Shrek''s group. "What are those?" Wang Dong frowned slightly. "Those green lines shouldn''t be there, right?" "Yes..." Bei Bei nodded. "I believe Dragon Nest''s exchange students called them ''Spirit Circuits'' or something..." "They never told them its function." "Yuhao, exin!" Tang Ya approached Huo Yuhao and shook his arm. She has this curious look on her face. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "Unfortunately, I can''t say much." "Hehe, it''s okay. Just tell us some nifty details~!" Tang Ya''s slender cat-like eyes lit up. Huo Yuhao felt everyone''s gaze, including Princess Xu and her threepanions. He sighed as if it was a hard decision and replied, "Very well." "Spirit Circuits is a pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through one''s body and what qualifies one to be a Spirit Master based on the Dragon Nest''s standard." "As for its function, it refines raw energy from the surrounding into life force. I can''t say anything further than that..." "Pseudo-nervous system." Xu Jiujiu stared at Ma Xiaotao''s fair hands covered by blinking green lines. "Refine raw energy into life force..." Wang Dong frowned slightly. She felt this process was familiar. The same goes for the Tang Sect''s members as they nced at each other. Mysterious Heaven Technique! Their cultivation technique bore simrities to the Spirit Circuits. Yet they felt there was more to it. There is no way ''Spirit Circuits'' only refine surrounding energy into life force. There must be more details they missed. But then, they are not qualified to ask more about it. It must be difficult for Huo Yuhao to say all this to them. Unknown to them, Huo Yuhao is as carefree as usual. Even if he leaked the information of the Spirit Circuits, it doesn''t matter much for the Dragon Nest anymore. In the past, Huo Yuhao was cautious because hungry wolves were everywhere. But now? Those wolves are nothing but cute puppies to him. The only threatening factors in this world are Gods in the Divine Realm. And other Divine Realms. Ma Xiaotao quickly absorbed her new spirit ring, adding the new one to the fives she possessed. She stared at the small bottle Huo Yuhao tossed to her earlier. Although Ma Xioatao didn''t know what it was, the content of this bottle felt intimate for some reason. No, it feels like her Martial Soul is longing for it. Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, opening the bottle''s cap. The inside is a concentrated red liquid. She drank the liquid, and her eyes widened as a golden me erupted from her body. Ma Xiaotao felt extremely hot. It usually won''t happen as she possessed Origin Phoenix Martial Soul, which granted her immunity toward the fire element. "Uugh. I don''t feel so good." Huo Yuhao shed to her side and consoled, "Sit straight." "Inhale air, and exhale the heat out..." "Absorb the blood into your heart and spread it into your veins." "ept its power." Huo Yuhao''s True Ancestor''s Eyes of the Lord observed the change in Ma Xiaotao''s body. Since this world doesn''t have demonic energy, the Phenex n''s bloodline adapted inside her and produced more life force instead. The life force enriched Ma Xiaotao''s physique and promoted her cultivation. Ma Xiaotao just broke through into the Spirit Emperor Realm. Her spirit rank is around level 63, maybe near level 64. Yet, due to this sudden life energy boost, Ma Xiaotao jumped to level 67 instantly and kept increasing rapidly. Ma Xiaotao''s red hair gained a streak of gold, bing more silky than before. Her Phoenix me also experienced the change. After reaching level 69, Ma Xiaotao gasped and fell to Huo Yuhao''s knee. "Haa..." "What was that?" "What did you make me drink?" "A bloodline, a special one." Huo Yuhao answered vaguely. He watched Ma Xiaotao''s spirit rings appear gradually from thin air. The spirit rings have aged slightly. But what makes Huo Yuhao furrow his brows is their pattern. Once a Spirit Master absorbs a spirit ring, that spirit ring will have a specific pattern like their martial soul. A spirit marks people widely recognized. Ma Xiaotao''s spirit mark was once a red bird. And after absorbing the Phenex n''s bloodline, the red bird gained golden quality. It was a faint change, but almost everyone noticed it. Yes, this isn''t a simple mutation. It is a literal upgrade. "How was it? Do you feel weird?" Huo Yuhao asked Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao huffed, "No, I felt great instead." "I''ve never felt so energized in my life. As if the Phoenix me is constantly burning in my chest and supplying me with energy." "It''s good then." Huo Yuhao patted her head warmly. "You''re now one step closer to greatness." "What do you mean-! Oh my god, my cultivation~!" Ma Xiaotao squealed in surprise. "How did it increase so much?" Ma Xiaotao was shocked. She has never heard someone break through into the Spirit Emperor Realm and rise by eight levels instantly. Huo Yuhao poked her forehead gently andmented, "That''s for the better." "In the next Continental Tournament between Academies, we might fight each other." "If you could touch me once, I''ll grant a wish for you, Senior Ma." He added, chuckling at her current dumbfounded expression. ''Wish?!'' Xiao Xiao and Princess Xu froze on the spot. "Yuhao/Huo Yuhao!" Xiao Xiao and Princess Xu approached him with an interested expression. "Those words of yours... I would like to partake in it as well." Princess Xu eloquently said. "Yes. it''s not eptable that you only bet with Senior Ma." Xiao Xiao added despite her annoyance toward the Princess. Huo Yuhao grinned at them, "Then, we will see about that soon." Chapter 227: Provoking the Strongest Spirit Beast Chapter 227: Provoking the Strongest Spirit Beast --- Chapter 224 --- Now that Ma Xiaotao had obtained her sixth spirit ring, everyone was ready to return. Huo Yuhao bantered with Tang Ya briefly as thetter questioned him about the change in Ma Xiaotao. Well, Ma Xiaotao''s beauty was upgraded by three levels, at least after absorbing the Phenex n''s bloodline. No matter how restrained they are,dies such as Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and even Princess are curious about how it could happen. To answer their question, Huo Yuhao casually answered them, "Senior Ma''s transformation is a mutation of her Martial Soul. You guys can''t replicate with the same resources." Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya are puzzled, but no Xu Jiujiu. Princess Xu caught the meaning behind ''same resources'' in Huo Yuhao''s lines, meaning she could do the same result with simr material. Unfortunately, Princess Xu realized how rare Star-Based Resources are for her martial soul. She could only sigh in helplessness. Ma Xiaotao examined her changes, twirling her alluring body left and right. Although Xu Sanshi is a man of focus,mitment, and sheer will, it''s still hard for him not to peek. "Hmph, Scoundrel..." Jiang Nannan walked away. "W-Wait, Nannan. It was a mistake." Xu Sanshi followed the blonde-haireddy hurriedly. Bei Bei shook his head gently at his fellow sect member, "I don''t know how Dean San will react to Senior Ma''s transformation." "He will be shocked." Tang Ya yfully winked at Bei Bei, making thetter chuckle. Wang Dong squinted her eyes and stared at Ma Xiaotao''s spirit rings. The spirit mark''s pattern change intrigued her as she could feel a secret behind it. However, Wang Dong doesn''t recognize this pattern. Of course, she wouldn''t recognize it because it was the Phenex n''s crest. Huo Yuhao pped his hands, "Okay, let''s pack things up." "Princess Xu, we will escort you out of the Star Dou Forest. You don''t have any problem with that, right?" "I''ll be thankful." Xu Jiujiu smiled brightly at Huo Yuhao. She also wished Huo Yuhao not to leave her side but knew such a thing was impossible. Even though Xu Jiujiu is the ''youngest princess'' of the Star Luo Empire, Huo Yuhao is the personal disciple of Dragon Nest''s Leader. Their status is too different apart. Noble status meant nothing before ultimate power. After the recent incident, Xu Jiujiu realized this the most. ''To catch him up, I must be stronger.'' Xu Jiujiu secretly vowed in her heart, unknown that Huo Yuhao could hear her thoughts passively. The Voice of All Things is a frightening ability. Well, only a few people could ever use it. Everyone is packing things, and Huo Yuhao walks to the Three-Headed Giant Eagle''s corpse. He acted casually, pulling a spirit bone out and storing it inside his inventory. It was so quick, so no one noticed it. Throwing the corpse into his inventory, Huo Yuhao stretched and checked his wristwatch. Huo Yun''er and others are still shopping in the Dragon Nest''s main base. The time difference really hit, huh? Huo Yuhao stayed in his clone for almost a day, but only a few hours passed in the Dragon Nest''s main base. The power of Primordial Rune reallyes in handy. One might think this was a disadvantage, but the quality of spirit energy in the Dragon Nest''s main base is many times higher than outside. To keep the purity of spirit energy high. Time and space are regted strictly. Thud! Thud! Thud! A tremor suddenly hit them three times. Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to the west and saw a massive ape charging at their location. "Heavenly Blood Giant Ape..." One of the bodyguards from Xu Jiujiu''s group uttered in horror. "It''s over 90,000 years old." "We are done for!" "Run, everyone!" However, the Shrek Group didn''t move an inch. They stared at Huo Yuhao and waited for his advice. Even the captain, Bei Bei, waited for Huo Yuhao to open his mouth. "Over 90,000 years old... That''s not very high." Huo Yuhaomented nonchntly. "..." Yu Xing. "..." Wang Dong. "..." Everyone. Did you hear yourself? Hello, are we living in the same world? Huo Yuhao maintained aid-back posture and kept his hands inside his pants'' pockets. He stared at the iing giant and said, "Kinda cute looking, not gonna lie." "Be serious!" Wang Do shouted at him. "Chill, dude. Everything will be fine." Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "I''ll show you something interesting." "Wanna see?" Wang Dong''s mouth twitched in disbelief, but she still nodded at Huo Yuhao''s proposal. Huo Yuhao''s lips curved into a smirk as an invincible momentum surged from his body. "Open your eyes well." "And feel it with your body." "What I''m going to show is one of our three ultimate techniques." "Color of the Supreme King!" Huo Yuhao released his Conqueror''s Haki and made the air tremble. An azure-colored light broke through the atmosphere and radiated continuously. Everyone staggered on the spot, with the weaker ones on their knees already. Princess Xu and herpanions have a hard time breathing. Meanwhile, the Shrek Group isn''t any better. Only Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong are still standing. That''s still a difficult situation as their faces are red like tomatoes. Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao could stand up because of their training with Scathach''s clone all this time. As for Wang Dong, she''s the daughter of the Sea God. She has some protection against mental-type ability. A golden trident mark currently appeared on her forehead. On the other hand, the so-called Heavenly Blood Giant Ape froze on the spot and let out a painful groan, falling to the ground heavily. The Color of the Supreme King still spread over the Star Dou Forest and caused over a hundred thousand spirit beasts to faint. Star Dou Forest, Core Area. An enormous dragon whose size couldn''t be distinguished shimmered amidst the dark clouds. Its entire body was ''thoroughly'' covered with pitch-ck scales, but it shone with dark purple colors within those dark clouds. It''s more than 3 kilometers in length. The dragon opened its eyes, revealing a pair of vertical-slit golden eyes. "Who is there?!" The dragon roared to the sky furiously. The whole Star Dou Forest trembled upon its anger. The ground shook, and the thunderclouds began to appear. Far, far away. Huo Yuhao chuckled at the dragon''s furious reaction and responded telepathically, "Unfortunately, I have no intention of meeting you at the moment, Di Tian." "There will be more opportunities in the future." Huo Yuhao only leaked about 5% of his true Conqueror''s Haki, but it was enough to provoke the Strongest Spirit Beast in the Douluo Continent. Di Tian is the legendary Golden-Eyed Darkness Dragon King. He''s over 820,000 years old and the remaining True Darkness Dragon King. Di Tiang''s strength remained at its peak in this era, but weirdly, when Tang San and his friends ascended to the Divine Realm, he didn''t appear norment on it. Maybe it is because of the Silver Dragon King, who currently sleeps under the Star Dou Forest''s core. Di Tian doesn''t want the Gods of the Divine Realm to pay attention to him and finds out that the other half of the Dragon God is hiding here. ''Well, my target isn''t Silver Dragon King.'' Huo Yuhao thought at the top of his head. He turned around and said, "Everyone, let''s get out of this ce." "The Star Dou Forest will be dangerous for the next three months." "Eh?" They were speechless. In the end, they swiftly left the area before a strong spirit beast came and found them. "Yuhao, that technique of yours..." Princess Xu leaned to his side. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Sorry, Princess. It''s a secret." "I thought so..." Xu Jiujiu lowered her head. "That kind of pressure mimicked the presence of a 100,000 years old spirit beast or even more." "Such a terrifying move." Huo Yuhao smiled and didn''t respond further about the Conqueror''s Haki. After running for a few hours, they finally escaped the Star Dou Forest. To be safe, they even traveled several more kilometers. ... Dragon Nest''s main base. Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and yawned, "I''ve found the target''s location." "Hmm, let''s see if Tang San was still doing shady things..." "If the plot didn''t change much, Tang San would still seal the other half of his daughter''s power on an innocent spirit beast." "Oh, Tang Yan. You and your self-created mess." "Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I''ming for you." Huo Yuhao stood up and teleported to the Star Dou Forest. He''d not miss such a brilliant opportunity to suppress Tang San. Chapter 228: Auspicious Emperor, Three-Eyed Golden Lion Chapter 228: Auspicious Emperor, Three-Eyed Golden Lion --- Chapter 225 --- Huo Yuhao arrived at the Star Dou Forest. The instantaneous teleportation he used literally ripped the space and time fabric. "Well, let''s search for a yellow cat." Huo Yuhao smiled and nced at the far horizon. His clone is currently traveling to the border of the Star Luo Empire, ensuring the princess''s safety. He walked into the deeper part of the forest. After several usages of future sight, Huo Yuhao arrived at the smallke surrounded by a beautiful flower field. He stepped into the area casually and announced his presence. ROAR! A massive creature stood before Huo Yuhao. It was over five meters long and ''extremely'' burly, with ck and red fur all over its body. It has three identical heads over a meter in diameter and a scarlet-golden mane growing on them. Each head of this figure resembled a lion''s, but they were even more ferocious. Its terrifying teeth release a scarlet-gold glow. "Human..." "Leave this once, or you will regret it." "Regret, Die, Die!" "Oh?" Huo Yuhao was amused. The system interface appeared. [Name: Scarlet King] [Species: Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff] [Cultivation Age: 280.000 years old] [Battle Power: Level 95, Hyper Douluo] [Description: Scarlet King 8th of the Ten Great Beasts. The Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff possesses the legendary bloodline of ''Cerberus'' and ''Tyrant Mastiff'' and is ''widely'' duped as the king of Canine-Type spirit beast!] "I was searching for a yellow cat but found a red puppy instead." Huo Yuhao chuckled while shaking his head. "Well, it''s just a matter of time." ROAR! The canine roared again, "You don''t cherish your life, human!" "Then, DIE!" The spirit beast pounced on Huo Yuhao, and the middle head opened its mouth. "Scarlet King, huh? I have to say your title is not very suitable." BAM! Scarlet King''s eyes widened in shock as the blue-haired man didn''t budge from the spot. Dusts flew everywhere. When the ground was clear again, Huo Yuhao casually stepped on the Scarlet King''s lower jaw with his shoe and had his finger stopping the upper teeth. "Y-You''re a Title Douluo!" "Human, you''re shameless!" "Hehe, off the mark." Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly. "Still, I''d give you 20 points out of 100 for it." "Anyway, give me the location of your Auspicious Emperor." "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, was it?" The Scarlet King suddenly bes quiet. He stared at Huo Yuhao vigntly, and its middle head asked, "What do you want with the Auspicious Emperor?" His left head snarled, "I would never tell you about her..." "Yes, yes. I''d rather die!" "Must be hard thinking with three heads." Huo Yuhaomented and snapped his finger. BOOM! ROOOOOOOOOAR!! The left and right heads exploded into red mist. The middle head roared in pain. "Y-You..." "You what? I''m helping you for free." Huo Yuhao returned indifferently. His clothes are still spotless, even when the blood mist appears. "Now, answer my question properly." "Where is the Star Dou Forest''s Auspicious Emperor?" "This is thest time you could cooperate with me." Scarlet King whimpered as he just experienced death twice. Losing two of his heads made the cultivation base he tiredly umted decline rapidly. He''s currently weaker than your average 100,000-year-old spirit beast. Scarlet King must store enough energy to regenerate his lost head, which would take 10,000 years or more if hard luck struck him. This human is a devil! Scarlet King felt anger from the depths of his soul. "You still have five seconds..." "Four..." "Three." "Second." "One." "I don''t know!" Scarlet King answered in panic. "I don''t know where the Auspicious Emperor was!" "You didn''t know?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head. "I thought this ce was the Auspicious Emperor''s home." "It is..." The spirit beast answered. "However, she left yesterday for some reason." "Yesterday." Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. His clone entered the Star Dou Forest yesterday and left just a few minutes ago. [There is one possible answer to this situation.] Evo reported monotonously. [The Auspicious Emperor sensed the immense luck of your clone and countered your future sights earlier.] [Although the Auspicious Emperor isn''t strong, its spiritual attribute makes any other spiritual sense useless.] [It includes Divine Sense and EX grade Observation Haki] ''What a strong fellow.'' Huo Yuhaomented at the top of his head. [It is] [The Auspicious Emperor is no less than the Auspicious Monarch(Huang Yuna) in this regard!] [Beasts who possess any affinity toward luck and destiny are always ridiculous!] "Yuna." Huo Yuhao muttered while patting the pendant near his neck. The pendant enhanced five fundamental elements and granted its wearer with more luck. After all, it was ''naturally'' made with the Auspicious Monarch''s body part. ''Do you have a way to find her, Evo?'' [There is, but it would cost you 1 tinum Upgrading Ticket. Do you want to proceed?] [Not to mention, the Auspicious Emperor is ''essentially'' rted to the Sea God in the Divine Realm. The protection around her is not low.] ''Geez, 1 tinum Upgrading Ticket off the bat? I felt robbed.'' Huo Yuhao agreed anyway. [Processing...] [Ding! You have upgraded Observation Haki, and it now could break Ultimate Spiritual Resistance] Huo Yuhao blinked a few times and smiled. He picked something from his inventory and threw it to the whimpering spirit beast. "Eat that, and you''ll recover." "..." Scarlet King looked at the ground and saw an ordinary-looking green bean. He huffed, "That human must be joking..." Even then, Scarlet King still scraped the ground and ate the bean. "T-This is..." "Such a miraculous thing exists?!" He searched for the blue-haired devil''s presence, but Huo Yuhao was long gone. ... Huo Yuhaonded on a grasnd. It was an open area with nothing but golden grass of summer. He walked a few steps to the south and saw a spirit beast on the sunny part of the grasnd. Three-Eyed Golden Lion has a body translucent like crystal, its form simr to that of a lion but with ming draconic ws and a longer snout. Fine golden scales peek out from beneath its fur. Most peculiar is a vertical slit on its forehead wherein its third eye rested. Its two ordinary eyes were gold, but its third eye red with a charming red glow. [Name: Auspicios Emperor(Tempered)] [Species: Three-Eyed Golden Lion(Tempered)] [Cultivation Age: 15,000 years] [Battle Power: Level 56, Spirit King] [Description: The Auspicious Emperor of the Star Dou Forest, who makes fortune smiles to every spirit beast around it. It has the bloodline of Golden Dragon] [However, she seemingly developed her own consciousness after having her essence and mind tempered by a Divine Being''s intervention.] "So, you''re here." Huo Yuhaomented while sitting beside the lion. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was startled. She opened her eyes and saw a blue-haired human sitting beside her. She yelped and used her mental attack on Huo Yuhao, ''Die!'' Huo Yuhao facepalmed and felt someone softly brush something against his head. "Argh-! Is that what you want to see?" Huo Yuhao shed a grin toward the spirit beast. Realizing her attack was ineffective, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion tried to run away but smacked herself against Rune Barrier. ''Ugh...'' The Auspicious Emperor scrunched her nose and dropped to the ground with a painful look. Huo Yuhaoughed, "For a spirit beast that could oversee destiny, you''re sure an airhead." "But don''t worry. I''m here not to harm you." ''A-Are you telling the truth?'' A soft female voice brushed Huo Yuhao''s ears. ''I can''t sense your luck. I don''t know if you are a good or bad guy...'' Huo Yuhao released 1% of his Divinity, shocking the Three-Eyed Golden Lion as she had never experienced such overwhelming luck before. "Do you trust me now?" ''Yes...'' The Three-Eyed Golden Lion gazed at Huo Yuhao with her third eye. ''I thought humans aren''t trustworthy, but you''re bizarre.'' "Yeah. People do describe me bizarrely, and it was understandable." Huo Yuhao shrugged because of his achievements. "Well, let''s stop with the chit-chat." "I''m going to make an offer you can''t refuse." "Are you ready?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion swallowed nervously, ''O-Okay...'' Chapter 229: *Hidden Title* Chapter 229: *Hidden Title* --- Chapter 226 --- Auspicious Emperor stared at the blue-haired human curiously. She is young, but that doesn''t mean she was dumb. The moment Huo Yuhao revealed a bit of his overwhelming luck, the Auspicious Emperor felt nothing but suffocation. The string of destiny she used to see vaguely became even more vague. It was just like yesterday and a while ago. A presence suddenly rmed everyone in the Star Dou Forest. Using her vision, the Auspicious Emperor dodged the inconvenience and hid in this grasnd. This grasnd is a remote ce in the Star Dou Forest. It has natural protection toward the Auspicious Emperor, who controlled spiritual attributes. No one should be able to find her! She was very confident in her ability Yet here she was, listening to the blue-haired man''s rambling. "You''re not listening, right?" Huo Yuhao sighed while poking the Three-Eyed Golden Lion''s nose. Auspicious Emperor awkwardly dodged his poking, ''Can you repeat it, just once more?'' Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Very well." "Since your little brain can''tprehend long speech, I offer to make you a new god in this world." "Not only is your protection guaranteed, but I''ll also give you another fortuitous chance." "Right now, I''ll help you reach 100,000 years in three days." ''100,000 years old!'' The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was shocked. She couldn''t believe Huo Yuhao''s words. Three days? Who is he fooling here? Huo Yuhao smiled at the spirit beast''s suspicious gaze andmented casually, "I could see that you are still suspicious of me." "It seems I''m getting too good at concealing myself." "How about this..." Huo Yuhao used the Sub Race: War Beast''s bloodline and changed his appearance slightly. His blue hair lengthened to his back and gained a silky yet regal-like quality. However, the most prominent change is Huo Yuhao''s eyes and aura. After the transformation, his blue eyes be slightly silverish with a vertical slit. Not to mention, his presence is no different than a legendary Beast God! The Three-Eyed Golden Lion''s eyes widened in disbelief. ''This is... How could you achieve something like this?'' She could feel her body shivering at the presence of Huo Yuhao''s War Beast''spound bloodline. She''s just a mere kitten before the Divine War Beast! ''You''re definitely a human before...'' She mumbled to herself. "It''s a secret." Huo Yuhao yfully winked at her. "..." the Auspicious Emperor felt like this guy became more unreadable as time passed. Oh, wait. They only know each other for ten minutes. Huo Yuhao stretched his hand and patted the spirit beast''s head, making herfortable with his War Beast''spound bloodline. When one is part of a beast, they will submit to the higher hierarchy and food chain. War Beast isn''t just Huo Yuhao''s sub-race. It is his Bloodline Cores''s foundation. Auspicious Emperor purred under Huo Yuhao''s patting as she had never felt sofortable. She was nervous a while back. But now she could fall asleep anytime. "How do you feel?" Huo Yuhao asked with a chuckle. ''So good~!'' The spirit beasty her head on Huo Yuhao''sp. ''I don''t know, but your patting makes me feelfortable...'' ''Rrr... So warm, so enjoyable~!'' Huo Yuhao pinched his fingers and said, "Open your mouth." ''Okay!'' Auspicious Emperor agreed without hesitation. As the spirit beast opened her mouth, she suddenly felt a drop of blood entering her throat. It was so sudden, and she couldn''t react to it quickly. The Auspicious Emperor tried to lift her body, but all strength seemingly left her. All her limbs felt boneless. ''What are you feeding me?!'' Huo Yuhao smirked and answered, "My essence blood." "Well, it''s just one of many bloodline helix I have." "The mostpatible one is War Beast''s bloodline, so I give three drops of it to you." "Three drops should be enough to bind your trace of the Golden Dragon''s bloodline and evolve it. As for what you''d beter, I expected you to surprise me." ''I-I...'' The Auspicious Emperor felt extremely hot, and her vision ckened. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently because War Beast''spound bloodline was too strong. Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon, it was only a trace of it. A real Golden Dragon won''t pose a threat against War Beast. No, even the Golden Dragon King won''t make War Beast break a sweat. ''Huo Yuhao, I sensed something that might help your eyes evolve.'' Eluxia suddenlymented. ''Oh? Did she sense that Auspicious Emperor''s third eye could grant something beyond normal to me?'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. In the original story, he was supposed to absorb a carving knife made from Life Gold and absorb it to his forehead, creating a third eye where the necromancer lives. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao doesn''t need such a thing anymore. After all, he has Evo. The Greatest Upgrading System! His eyes are no longer your typical Spirit Eyes. They are True Ancestors'' Eyes of the Lords. It sounds mouthful, but Huo Yuhao couldn''t feel much better than this. Eluxia jumped from the Spiritual World and materialized herself before Huo Yuhao''s eyes. She smiled at him, "It seems you''re be too overconfident in your eyes." "Is it wrong?" Huo Yuhao hugged Eluxia and ced his arm around her slim waist. He had a teasing smile on his handsome face. "No, there is nothing wrong with your confidence," Eluxia responded with a light kiss. "However, it''s not hard to make your attribute stronger." "The base of your True Ancestors'' Eyes of the Lords is a Spiritual Attribute with several other unique perks. Your inherent ''Heavenly Mirror'' alone could make you invincible as you could copy even God''s movement." "Now you could even break down every universal mystery with it." "And with your immense luck, I bet no one could hide something from you." "Even then, you need a guide. You have a hard time finding the lion earlier, no?" Eluxia pointed her slender finger at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion''s forehead and said, "What''s a better guide than destiny and fate themselves?" "Her fate is ''already'' intertwined with yours, just like the rest of your harem." "..." Huo Yuhao''s eyebrow twitched at Eluxia''sst remark. "You have to word it like that, huh? Even to such a conclusion..." Eluxia giggled and returned, "Hehe, me yourself for being too outstanding." "So, what should I do?" Huo Yuhao nced at the spirit beast. "I can just plunder her third eye. However, she would likely be confused when realizing her ability is gone." Eluxia helplessly patted her head. Sometimes, Huo Yuhao can be a genius but also a blockhead. "I already said that your fate intertwined with her already." "You two can mutually support each other. It''s not so mutual as you are stronger than this fellow." "Sit down and follow my instructions. I''ll prepare some spells." Huo Yuhao sat down and watched Eluxia summon the scepter of light, causing the world to be ash-like. Several golden characters floated from thin air and surrounded them gradually, bing a small storm. "ce your forehead on hers." "I''llmence the ritual." "In my previous life, people used their consciousness to sense other dimensions and formed a pact with the Magical Beast." "They could grow stronger and grant each other a boost. Sometimes, the lucky one even gains their Magical Beast''s ability." "By modifying the Pact''s Spell, I can turn her into your tamed beast." "As for the ratio, it would be 99:1. Yours is 99 and hers is 1." "Damn..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. Eluxia dropped her staff above Huo Yuhao''s head, "Do you think the pact is unfair?" "Trust me, 99 to 1 is the ''most'' fair pact she could have... Any more than that, and she''d explode due to your immense energy." "1% of your energy is more than enough to keep her growing stronger." "Well, let''s begin." She said calmly. Huo Yuhao gently pressed his forehead against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. He could feel a spark forming a tight yet strong chain between them. [Ding! True Ancestors'' Eyes of the Lords have been influenced by external force...] [The influence is deemed positive...] [Do you want to evolve True Ancestors'' Eyes of the Lords?] [Yes/No] "Yes." [Greater Upgrade is triggered!] Huo Yuhao''s expression bes nk as a portion of his soul experiences an extreme change. He closed his eyes, feeling tearsing from them. [Upgrading...] [...] [Congrattions, Host] [Your Martial Soul has experienced a second awakening...] [You have awakened the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao!] Chapter 230: Heavenly Daos and Bing Dis Concern Chapter 230: Heavenly Daos and Bing Di''s Concern --- Chapter 227 --- [You have awakened the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao] Huo Yuhao released afortable sigh and opened profound azure eyes. They are deep blue with several white specks like stars, looking very beautiful. Eluxia blinked, drawn by Huo Yuhao''s beautiful eyes. It was a sort of attraction one had onceprehended the mystery of the universe. The nature and cosmos of it. Heavenly Dao! "Amazing... I was expecting your eyes to grasp the power of destiny, but this is something else." Eluxia couldn''t help butment. There is a hint of excitement in her voice. Huo Yuhao smiled and immersed himself in this situation. He saw the essence of the world more clearly than before. In the past, he could do much more than others. But now? Even powerhouses from the outside universe would have a rough time facing his ability. The Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao is the ultimate-type Martial Soul. Its main attribute was once Spiritual-type, just like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. However, Huo Yuhao''s bloodlines changed that. No, the upgrade was the first step to achieve this. Since Huo Yuhao wasn''t the original Huo Yuhao anymore, as his soul upied the kid''s dying body, his Martial Souls mutated. First, Eyes of the Lords. A pair of eyes that could even mimic God''s Movement. Second, True Ancestors'' Eyes of the Lords. A pair of eyes that could even sway a Universe. And finally, Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao. Huo Yuhao doesn''t know if this was the final evolution/awakening of his Martial Soul, but he shouldprehend their abilities first before even thinking about upgrading them. "A pair of eyes that could see the truth and essence of the universe." Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement. The Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao currently encapste Eight Great Daos. Dao of Space-Time. Dao of Myriad Shape. Dao of Samsara. Dao of Destiny. Dao of Life. Dao of Death. Dao of Destruction Dao of Nothingness. Huo Yuhao was familiar with all these Daos and felt his understanding of them became clearer after awakening the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao. As if a floodgate just opened, coursing every inch of his mind with profound knowledge. "I feel like I could form another God''s Seat." Huo Yuhao said with a solemn expression. "However, I might have to use the Throne of Beginning and the End for it." "Also, my divinity increased a little because of this awakening." "I''m two levels away from the Godking Realm." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Godking." Eluxia smacked her lips slightly. "Are you saying that you''re close to reaching the peak of this world?" "Also, congrattions. You have made a huge breakthrough." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and replied, "No, no, the peak of this world isn''t Godking." "Godking is only 5th Dimensional Being." "There was once a being called a Dragon God in this sword. He''s pretty simr to Dragon God of Purgatory and Destruction''s legacy, I epted." "Was it the friend you once talked about?" Eluxia tilted her head. Huo Yuhao nodded, "His name is Naga." "And he''s technically my first teacher." "We spend quite a time in the legacy space and bond over our life stories." "He passed away with a st." Huo Yuhaughed when he remembered that Naga once pranked him. That prank got him good. "He sounds like a funny fellow." Eluxia giggled at the thought of a giant dragon teasing Huo Yuhao. "He is..." Huo Yuhao acknowledged Naga from the deepest part of his heart. As he became more familiar with the legacy, the more he understood Naga''s mindsets and history. Like how Naga freaking burned his home universe with Neb Thunderfire. Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Well, let''s go back." "There aren''t many things to do here anymore." "Are you sure? That little dark dragon looks interesting to me." Eluxia turned around and saw a massive creature overshadowing the grasnd they were currently in. However, the rune barrier shields them from it. "There is also a Divine Dragon slumbering beneath this forest''s core." The necromancer added casually. "Meh, meeting them this soon won''t be good for me." Huo Yuhao shrugged his shoulders. "One is a sentimental dragon." "And the other is still hibernating after running away from the Divine Realm years ago." "They would be more of a burden than an ally." "That''s true, I suppose..." Eluxia sighed helplessly. After conquering the Draconic Deus, the Dragon Nest had a handful of powerful allies. Not to mention, their values are much better than this dark dragon and Silver Dragon King. Heck, Ophis alone possessed aplex nature that Eluxia wished to uncover herself. The power over ''infinity'' caught her interest. Huo Yuhao carried the Three-Eyed Golden Lion on his shoulder and said in realization, "If I take the Auspicious Emperor from the Star Dou Forest, the spirit beasts here will lose their blessing of luck." "Uh, oh, that''s not a good thing." With that in mind, Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and drowned the ground below with Auspicious Luck. It was more than enough for the Star Dou Forest to prosper for ten or twenty years. After that, Huo Yuhao used the Dao of Space-Time and teleported back to the Dragon Nest. This ability is actually not horrible because Huo Yuhao felt everything flow naturally. There is also no dy or spatial stream because the Time Element naturalizes it. If Huo Yuhao had used the ''Spatial Authority'' to teleport, the sensation wouldn''t have been this smooth. "Not bad." "I must experiment more to get familiar with these new abilities." He nodded in satisfaction. Meanwhile, in the Spiritual World, Tian Meng and Bing Di stared at each other silently. "Why the long face?" Eluxia asked as soon as she returned. "Helena?" "I don''t know..." Helena shook her head adorably. "Aunt Men and Aunt Di have been doing this for a while now." Eluxia rubbed her temple and questioned, "What''s wrong?" Tian Meng sighed and said, "After Huo Yuhao awakened his Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao, we suddenly remembered something important about our homnd." "Bing Bing is pestering me about it." "I told her to talk with Yuhao, but she refused..." Bing Di crossed her arms and added, "It''s not that I don''t want to talk with Yuhao. I was thinking about our friend''s fate." "I didn''t say anything to her when Huo Yuhao came and abducted me..." "More so, aren''t you nning that?" She squinted her green eyes at Tian Meng. Tian Meng whistled innocently, "I don''t know what you are talking about, Bing Bing?" "At the end of the day, you still joined my n to make Huo Yuhao a God." "We are simply freeloading on his mantle to this very day." "I''m not as shameless as you, you worm..." Bing Di said indifferently. "Kuugh, I''m a dragon now... Can''t you stop calling me that already?" Tian Meng pouted as she felt wronged. Eluxia sighed, "So, you just don''t want to put more burden on Yuhao''s shoulder?" "Well... Yes." Bing Di swayed her head away. She was hiding a blush, but her ears were as red as a rose. Tian Meng and Eluxia nced at each other, sighing at Bing Di''s tsundere behavior. About how they know the tsundere term? Let''s say that Draconic Deus is and of culture and knowledge. "Just fucking tell him!" Tian Meng grumbled. "YUHAO, BING DI WANTS TO TALK WITH YOU!" "W-Wait-!" Bing Di wanted to stop the noisy Tian Meng, but it was toote. Huo Yuhao appeared in the Spiritual World and questioned, "What''s the matter?" After listening to the dilemma, Huo Yuhaoughed and brushed Bing Di''s insecurity off. "Hehe, Our bond is as deep as the ocean now, Bing Di." "Don''t forget, we have slept with each other." He shed a grin at her. Bing Di covered her blushing face, "Y-You." "Snow Emperor, isn''t it?" Huo Yuhao thought about something. "Don''t worry..." "We will meet her soon." Chapter 231: Frustrated Youngsters and Azazels Hack Chapter 231: Frustrated Youngsters and Azazel''s Hack --- Chapter 228 --- Dragon Nest Main Base, Naga''s Den. Naga''s Den is the most popr city in the jurisdiction of Dragon Nest''s territory. The poption growth has exceeded 70% of the Dragon Nest''s members, with the rest on duties on other bases. This ce is a futuristic city with a melting pot of culture, as there are several buildings with different styles. The clean environment makes it even better. Several civilians are walking on a wide main street and enjoying their daily lives. On the side road, a muscr young man sat on a wooden bench and drank his cold beverage. "How bizarre..." Sairaorg Baelmented with a smile on his face. "Compared to our world, God Huo''s world can still be considered the ancient era of martial artists. However, their technology is much better than ours." Vali Lucifer leaned on a streetmp and scoffed, "This is a cultivation world. What do you expect?" "You''re just pissed that you got wiped in the arena earlier, Vali." Beside Vali, Ikuse Tobio chuckled and irked the young Lucifer. The Pendragon Siblings nced at each other, smiling wryly. "You win some, you lost some." They have been on Vali''s side for a while, so they are used to his fighting maniac behavior. It''s just that they didn''t expect someone to beat the living shit out of him in thebat arena earlier. "I underestimated this world''s power. I thought my view on it was already high, but..." Arthur Pendragon fixed his sses. "Almost everyone we have faced so far has this suffocating energy." "It must have something to do with their Breathing Technique and Spirit Circuits, Older Brother." Le Fay Pendragonmented while floating on her magical broom. "They must have trained more than Vali-san, so their mastery over it is unquestionably strong." "Indeed." Arthur Pendragon agreed with his sister''s statement. "We just made contact with Universal Breathing Technique and Spirit Circuits. Compared to them, we are total newbies..." Vali Lucifer frowned and gazed at the sky, watching the white clouds drifting in the blue sky. "I''ve gotten trained by that crazy woman for nearly a year." "I took beatings every day, but I still couldn''t describe the ''smooth'' operation she talks about..." "Breathing smoothly, she should have exined more clearly." "Crazy woman... Are you talking about the God yer, Scathach?" Ikuse Tobio''s eyes widened. "Dude, you''re going to get your ass beaten if she knew you called her that." "Fuck it." Vali Lucifer grumbled unhappily. "Dying is thest thing I care about after arriving in this world." "I want to be stronger!" "I want to be stronger and prove myself to the Blue-Eyed Dragon God!" "You''re lucky if you ever touch 1% of his power." Sairaorg Bael shook his head gently. "First, you must consolidate your Dao Heart, Vali." "Although you have an unyielding fighting spirit, it is also apanied by inferiority in your heart." "Are you trying to butter me up with that cultivation bullshit?" The corner of Vali Lucifer''s mouth twitched. "Fuck you, sincerely..." "Aih, words mean nothing. Only with an enlightened heart could one be immortal." Sairaorg Bael sighed helplessly. "..." Ikuse Tobio. "..." Vali Lucifer. "..." Arthur Pendragon. "Wow~!" Le Fay Pendragon pped her hands in amazement. "Sairaog-san, that was an amazing speech." Stop, Fay. Don''t feed his fantasy even further! The three guys thought simultaneously. "Hahaha~! My Dao Heart is as firm as a mountain! Unshakeable as I roam into the great wilderness of profundity." Sairaorg Bael Laughed. "Fuck..." The three guys facepalmed. "Anyway... What''s your Martial Soul, Vali?" Ikuse Tobio asked curiously. "I''ve watched you fight earlier, but you never showed it directly." "I''m also curious about that." Arthur Pendragon gazed at Vali Lucifer deeply. Feeling the intense gazes, Vali shrugged and answered, "It''s nothing special." "Just tell us, dude!" "It''s..." Vali was hesitating. Albion answered suddenly. "Albion, you bastard!" "Gloves, huh?" The others were surprised. "No wonder we couldn''t see it. You always wore fingerless gloves like a chuunibyou." Sairaorg Bael said. "Still, I''m jealous because I like to fight with my bare hands." "What yours then, Sairaorg-san?" Le Fay tilted her head. "Me? Well, you might be surprised, but it''s a headband." Sairaorg Bael answered honestly. "It''s Auxiliary-type Martial Soul that could enhance my fighting powers." "Hmm, mine is rather abstract." Le Fay put on aplicated expression. "My Martial Soul is my own brain. Maybe because I''m a witch who was also the descendant of Morgan Le Fay." "My older brother also awakened Sword''s Sheath as his martial soul, which is somewhat fitting." "Make sense, but brain? I thought there were only two types of Martial Souls?" Ikuse Tobio was confused. "By the way, my Martial Soul is a freaking cereal bar!" Crows feathers fell on them as Azazel appeared out of nowhere. "Tsk, tsk, as expected of you, Tobio. I told you to read the manual before following us to this world." The fallen angel criticized. "To hell with the manual. I won''t read your thick book, Azazel." Ikuse Tobio returned with annoyance. "Thick?" Everyone stared at Azazel weirdly. Azazel coughed and answered, "I was excited, so I made an entire series about this world based on the knowledge I received." "And to answer your question, Tobio." "There are three-! No, four types of Martial Souls." "Beast, Tool, Body, andstly Artificial." "Of course, there is also a variant of each type. Like mine." Azazel summoned his martial soul. "GOOOOOOD MORNIIING, MOTHERFUCKER!" A woman in ck appeared and drop-kicked Azazel on the face. BAM! Azazel flew several meters away, bounced, and crashed into a wall. "..." Everyone. Even the people on the streets were speechless. "Phew, that was refreshing. That old crow locked me too long in the Martial Soul''s space." The woman in ck said while wiping the nonexistent sweat on her forehead. She posed and added, "You see, thisdy needs one hour of sunlight to maintain wless skin." The woman looks to be in her early thirties. Wearing a ck dress, She has an alluring yet tall body and a pair of demonic green eyes that go well with her pale yet rosyplexion and mid-length ck hair. She also has two curved goat''s horns on her head. "Vte, you bitch!" Azazel shed by and hugged the goat-horned young woman from behind. "DIE!" He suplexed her on the spot. BAM! "..." Everyone. What the fuck?! First, a woman suddenly drop-kicked someone. And now the woman got mmed to the ground. Azazel and Vte quarreled in the ground like cat and mouse, rolling around a few times. "Um, should we stop them?" Le Fay Pendragon asked her brother. "Vali-san? Sairaorg-san? Tobio-san?" "We don''t know these people." The four guys replied with a straight face. "Eeeh..." Le Fay Pendragon was startled. After a while, Azazel finally won and tied the goat-horned woman with magic ropes. Well, his ways of binding are unique, though. Cough! Cough! "As you can see." Azazel cleared his throat. "There is a variant of Martial Soul." "With the example of this little goat bitch." "Fk U!" Vte screamed, but rope gagged her. Azazel ignored her and continued, "She''s a beast-type Martial Soul that has her intellect upon awakening." "Simr to a summoning beast, I had to say." "As my cultivation grew, she also gained humanoid form." "It is a pity if only her personality is a little mellower." ''Your head is mellow, dumb crow!'' Vte roared with their spiritual links. Ikuse Tobio nced at Vte and then Azazel, "How unfair..." "I got a cereal bar, and you got yourself a hot woman." Azazel chuckled, "I said the same thing when awakening my martial soul, Tobio." "However, there is a saying that there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters." "From my viewpoint, your cereal bar has more potential than this pretentious fellow." ''Hmph, Pretentious, your ass!'' Vte red at him. "I see..." Ikuse Tobio pondered about something. Azazel put on a shady businessman look and said, "You guys want to fight, right?" "Actually, it''s not impossible to find great sparring partners." "You only need to know how to." "And you know." Vali Lucifer countered with disdain. "Hehe, of course." Azazel patted his head proudly. "I''ve read almost everything in the Dragon Nest''s library." "Hear me out... Have you ever heard of the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament?" Chapter 232: Gathering and Huang Qiuer Chapter 232: Gathering and Huang Qiu''er --- Chapter 229 --- Naga''s Den, Gentle Fox Restaurant. After roaming all over the Dragon Nest''s bases, the people from the Draconic Deus World gathered in a merry-looking hall with several servings of food and drink. Azazel and Ajuka Beelzebub sat down, downing a pint of beer. "Phew, this is nice," Azazel said while feeling slightly fuzzy. "Another World''s beer tastes better than I expected." Ajuka nodded andmented, "Maybe because their method is different, which led to this bubbly heat aftertaste." "Hmm, is it the brewing and fermentation?" "Probably their water. It''s just refreshing and smoother." Azazel added his thoughts. "You''re sure so casual after making amotion on the street a few hours ago." A familiar voice appeared behind them. Azazel and Ajuka nced back, seeing Grayfia Lucifuge with a grim expression on her beautiful face. The silver-haired devil ced her hand on her hips and criticized, "Yuhao-sama left you alone for half a day, and you make a mess already." "Don''t lump me with him. I''m a good boy and stayed at the library until five minutes ago." Ajuka Beelzebub immediately threw the fallen angel under the bus. "Traitor..." Azazel grumbled. Grayfia sighed helplessly, "Azazel, what are you, six?" "If you mean number, then I''m six by the power of-! Yes, ma''am, I''m a child!" Azazel wanted to retort smartly, but Grayfia''s cold stare shut him up. "But if you want to punish me, you should punish Vte too." "Wait, wait, why did I get dragged into this conversation??" The ck goat appeared in her human form. "You drop-kicked me earlier, bitch..." "You suplex me too, bastard..." "Quiet!" Grayfia asserted her dominance by giving them a stern look. ''Fuck! Grayfia is so scary.'' The fallen angel and ck goat thought simrly. "I don''t want to see or hear any misdemeanor from you two." Grayfia reprimanded them. We are guests from the Draconic Deus, so your actions reflect on us." "Do you understand?" "Yes..." Azazel and Vte lowered their heads. "Well, well, don''t be so stiff, Grayfia." Venelena Bael appeared in her new purple dress. After the shopping spree, she spent all her contribution points on new things that caught her attention. Of course, she was mindful of her purchase. "Everything should be fine, no? No one is getting hurt, after all." Grayfia Lucifuge harrumphed, "Hmph, only this time." Not far away, Rossweisse was drinking her beer andmented, "Uwah, so intense." "The party hasn''t even started." "True, true. I was wondering when Madam will appear." Said the beautiful vampire beside her. Valerie Tepes munched on a spring roll, relishing the taste like a cat who has eaten delicious fish. Rossweisse swore she had seen imaginary fluffy cat ears above the vampire''s head a moment ago. Talking about the cat, Rossweisse nced at the couch a few meters away. The Nekoshu sisters are sitting with Fox Yokai, enjoying tiramisu cakes. "So good, nyaa~!" Kuroka moaned while rubbing her cheeks. "Mm, mm!" Koneko nodded in agreement. Only Kunuo stays quiet and searches for Huo Yuhao''s presence. "Hmm, I couldn''t find Big Brother around..." She said with a sad expression. Kuroka tilted her head and reassured the young Fox Youkai, "Don''t worry, Kunuo. Yuhao-sama will be here in a moment." "You must remember that this was his first day returning to his homeworld." "He has many things to settle." "Okay..." Kunuo''s fox ears dropped slightly. "Is everyone here?" A melodious voice rmed everyone in the hall. They moved their gazes and noticed Huo Yun''er and Qianye Ying''er in their casual yet beautiful dresses. "Goddess Huo." "Saintess." They greeted the two respectfully. "Am Ite?" Scathach also appeared a secondter. She teleported from her room and arrived in her purple-red dress. "Madam, God yer-sama." The guest also weed her respectfully. There is also a hint of fear because of what Scathach could do in the Record of Ragnarok. If they didn''t know what her acts in the war were, they might only think she was a beautiful woman, and that''s it. "Where is Yuhao?" Scathach asked. She couldn''t find her disciple anywhere. Huo Yun''er giggled and answered, "He''s still at home with Yuna." "He''d be here in five minutes." "Yuna? What does he need from her?" Scathach tilted her head in confusion. "Hehe, something special." Qianye Ying''er answered this time, but she added this mysterious tone. Back at the house, Huang Yuna blinked her big eyes and stared at the sleeping golden lion on the couch. "Did you kidnap this poor little fellow?" She asked straightforwardly. "Kidnap is a strong word." Huo Yuhao answered casually. "I''m saving her from an imminent future." Huang Yuna sighed, "Why did all the matters rted to Auspiciousness alwayse with suffering." "This poor little fellow''s life has been affected by God''s influence." "She was an innocent spirit beast who could have lived normally if God''s influence didn''t mess with her psyche." ''Did Yuna trace Tang San''s power on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but gaze at the bread lover with a surprised expression. Half of Wang Dong''s essence is ''currently'' sealed inside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Nothing negative would happen, but because Tang San''s power is too strong, the spirit beast develops her intellect. Fate and destiny are miraculous things. They always led to and set a destination one couldn''t expect. However, there are exceptions like Huo Yuhao. He possessed ''Boundless Emperor'' and ''Dimensional Conqueror'' traits that make him a Fateless one. "So, what do you want me to do?" Huang Yuna asked while gently caressing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion''s head. Huo Yuhao smiled and responded, "I want you to be his teacher." Huang Yuna raised her eyebrow and returned, "I thought Yae or your mother would do a better job than me." "They could manipte fortune more directly." "That won''t do." Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. "I need the Auspicious Monarch to help me with this Auspicious Emperor." "You''re just ying pun with me..." Huang Yuna was speechless. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Trust me and taught the little fellow well. She has a big potential, just like you." "Handing them to my mother and Yae wouldn''t yield a better result." "Fine." Huang Yuna pouted. "But that would cost you 100 Bread Points." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched, "What kind of currency is this?" "Hehe, my currency!" The Mythical Qilin puffed her chest proudly. "Anyway, since this fellow will be my disciple. She must take my family name." "Hmm, but shecks a given name..." "Qiu''er." Huo Yuhao said out of spite. "Huang Qiu''er, not a bad name." Huang Yuna nodded in satisfaction. "Your name sense is actually better than I thought." "..." Huo Yuhao couldn''t tell her that Qiu''er was the name that Three-Eyed Golden Lion had chosen for herself. In the original story, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion met Huo Yuhao and longed to enter the human world. She''s a beautiful girl, looking no different than Wang Dong in her ''real'' appearance. It is just that their personality is aplete 180 of each other. However, Huo Yuhao altered the course of the plot. He didn''t know if now Huang Qiu''er would have Wang Dong''s appearance or not. Well, Huang Qiu''er essence is that of Wang Dong. No, maybe Huo Yuhao''s essence blood changed her. How could Wang Dong''s bloodline bepared to Huo Yuhao''spound beast bloodline? Huo Yuhao picked a dark blue suit and wore it, "Do you want to follow me to the party?" "No, I''ll stay and observe Qiu''er more." Huang Yuna calmly refused his offer. "Also, I''m tired after shopping all day..." "I will be back in a few hours then." Huo Yuhao smiled and kissed Huang Yuna on the forehead. "Thank you, Yuna." His voice echoed as he disappeared from the room. Huang Yuna blushed hard and buried her face on the couch, "H-He kissed me." "Oh my god, Yuhao actually kissed me~!" "Kyaa~!" The happy Auspicious Monarch rolled around the couch with a wide grin. ... Huo Yuhao arrived at the Gentle Fox Restaurant and pushed the front door open. He saw everyone enjoying the gathering and walked inside. "Am Ite?" Chapter 233: New Experiment, Turning Sacred Gears into Martial Souls? Chapter 233: New Experiment, Turning Sacred Gears into Martial Souls? --- Chapter 230 --- "Am Ite?" Huo Yuhao''s voice immediately caught everyone''s attention. "Hao''er!" "Yuhao." "Yuhao-sama." "My Lord." "Father." "Dragon God." All kinds of greetings were ''simultaneously'' used, which left Huo Yuhao speechless inside because it was too much. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "For now, just call me Dragon God or Yuhao in public." Huo Yuhao replied while entering the hall. "Eh, I can''t do that, Yuhao-sama." Grayfia quickly rejected the suggestion. As a straightced maid and assistant of Huo Yuhao, she couldn''t bear to call him in such a casual manner publicly. Of course, if it''s just between them, she wouldn''t hesitate. Meanwhile, Azazel raised his hand and said, "Yo, Yuhao~!" Grayfia turned around and sent a death re to the fallen angel, but thetter was too drunk to care. Azazel dodged the gaze and downed more beer. Gabriel tilted her head, thinking about what she should call Huo Yuhao from now on. Father Dragon God? Father Yuhao? Thetter sounds better. "Father Yuhao!" Gabriel excitedly waved at him. Huo Yuhao sighed and epted his fate, approaching the guests from the Draconic Deus World. "How is everyone?" He smiled at them. "I hope my world doesn''t disappoint you guys." "Not at all, nyaa!" Kuroka bounced on the couch nearby. She put on a cat-like expression and continued, "We have explored the area around the continent and discovered many new things." "Hehe, some spirit beasts under Dragon Nest''s jurisdiction think Yokai are part of them." "That''s right, nyaa~! I made friends with some cats and birds in the east forest." Koneko added afterward. "Oh?" Huo Yuhao was ''actually'' amused by this fun fact. No, if he thought about it, this does make sense. Youkai focused on condensing their life force and inherently training senjutsu, simr to Spirit Beast''s cultivation. Not to mention, they must reach a specific concentration of life energy and senjutsu mastery before transforming into their humanoid form. Well, all spirit beasts need to do is reach 100,000 years of cultivation, and they could transform into a human to embark on another cultivation path(spirit master). There are a few exceptions, like Huang Qiu''er, who would soon obtain humanoid form despite not even 20,000 years of cultivation. ''Maybe it has something to do with developing wisdom earlier.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. Kunou let out a big smile when Huo Yuhao appeared, "Big Brother, I miss you~!" "I miss you too." Huo Yuhao gave her cheek a gentle pinch. "You''ve been behaving well, right, Kunou?" "Mm!" Kunou nodded vigorously. After entertaining the cute fox girl, Huo Yuhao nced around and saw thedies chatting about their recent journey. He also spotted Ophis and Tiamat eating at a table. The two ''gluttonous'' dragons are stuffing their mouths with barbecued meat. "Food?" Ophis offered a piece. "Hubby, you finally came!" Tiamat swung a bone stick. "Sure, I''ll take that." Huo Yuhao picked up the meat and calmly ate it. "As for you, Tiamat. Can you call me other things besides hubby or husband?" "Dear, then." Tiamat shed a smile at him. Meanwhile, Ophis nodded in satisfaction because Huo Yuhao enjoyed meat like her. Usually, she wouldn''t share her food with others, but Huo Yuhao is special. Ophis learned from the Red-haired Demon(Scathach) that a ''special'' person deserves special treatment. Huo Yuhao stared at the people he brought from the Draconic Deus World and smiled, raising a cup of wine. "Well, toast everyone!" He said. "Toast!" As everyone enjoyed their food and talked about their adventures, Huo Yuhao noticed the weird people of the bunch. Griselda Quarta faced Huo Yuhao with flushed cheeks. She has too much alcohol for someone from the Vatican. "Do you need something, Griselda?" Huo Yuhao asked the beautiful battle nun. "I-I... Fish yyu bhecame god earlier." Griselda said drunkenly. "Mother!" Xenovia supported Griselda and lowered her head to Huo Yuhao. "S-Sorry, Yuhao-sama." Huo Yuhaoughed, "Haha, "It''s okay." "Bring her to the side and give her some water." After bowing three times, Xenovia brought Griselda away, and Asia helped her with the drunk nun. ''I wish you became god earlier, huh?'' Huo Yuhao thought about Griselda''s drunk speech. It''s not like he doesn''t want to, but an emergency appeared one after another. "Dragon God, can we talk?" Vali walked to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nced around and responded, "Sure." "What do you have in mind? Well, I hope the fighters in the Dragon Nest didn''t bore you out." "..." Vali Lucifer sighed. Hearing Huo Yuhao mention Dragon Nest''s fighter makes him remember how horribly he was defeated a few hours ago. Ikuse and Sairaorg chuckled with funny expressions on the side, irritating the White Dragon Emperor even more. Vali Lucifer crossed his arms and asked, "I heard there is this event called Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. Do you have a way for us to enter?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head, "It''s a simple matter, but why?" "With your current power, participating in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament is a waste." "Those brats'' power levels aren''t on par with you guys." "Really?" Vali frowned slightly. Did Azazel trick them? That fallen angel is such a troll. "Unfortunately, Yes. I doubt you could even find a Spirit Douluo Realm opponent in the tournament." Huo Yuhao responded casually. "Fuck." Vali cursed with an annoyed expression. "Language, Vali-san." Le Faymented giddily. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "Actually, there is a way to make things more challenging." A grin appeared on his handsome face as he continued, "If you want to enter the tournament, your cultivation must get suppressed at Soul King Realm. On top of that, you are ''strictly'' prohibited from using any power from the Draconic Deus." "T-That doesn''t sound bad, to be honest," Sairaorg said while nudging Vali''s shoulder. "With this, we could temper our body and spirit." "Agree, we also could familiarize ourselves with Martial Soul and Spirit Skills." Arthur fixed his sses. Ikuse Tobio has aplicated expression, "I don''t know, but doesn''t that mean I can''t summon Jin(His Sacred Gear''s avatar)?" "About your avatar and Albion, I actually have an offer." Huo Yuhao put on a yful look. "An offer?" Vali and Tobio looked at each other. Huo Yuhao brought them into his spiritual world, shocking the two youths to their cores. "Where are we?" Ikuse Tobio looked around. "Separate dimension?" Vali Lucifer observed the space around with great interest. Huo Yuhao coughed, "Ehem, you two are in my head currently." "It''s called Mind Space, or Spiritual World." "You can also cultivate with sufficient understanding and umtion as it was one of the criteria to be a God." "Wow..." Tobio was surprised. "Is it the Spiritual Core that Scathach once mentioned?" Vali asked with an uncertain look. Huo Yuhao was amused, "She taught you about the Spirit Core? Hmm, that''s faster than I thought." "Yes, you''re correct." "This is one of my Spirit Core, but I used different methods when cultivating to this level." "Anyway, we are here not just to talk." Huo Yuhao snapped his finger, and a massive white dragon appeared behind Vali. "You dragged my soul here..." Albion opened his mouth in disbelief. "Hah, Dragon God Yuhao, you''re amazing." "Jin!" Woof! A ck-furred puppy with red eyes appeared beside Ikuse Tobio, rubbing its head against the young man''s leg. "Eluxia." Huo Yuhao called one of his teachers. "You called me?" Eluxia appeared out of thin air. She has this intrigued expression as if something interesting would happen soon. ''So strong...'' The four beings from the Draconic Deus thought when sensing Eluxia''s spiritual presence. "Yes, I want you to help with something. It is another experiment of mine." Huo Yuhao answered nonchntly. Experiment? "W-wait, wait, you never said it''s an experiment." Ikuse Tobio couldn''t believe his ears for a moment. "Don''t worry. Your safety is guaranteed." Huo Yuhao gave him a thumbs up. ''Bruh, I''m more nervous now.'' Ikuse Tobio was speechless. Meanwhile, Vali is more than interested in this so-called experiment. Huo Yuhao lifted his index finger and said seriously, "By the way..." "Do you know that Sacred Gear could also be Martial Soul?" "Uh, oh... I don''t like where this is going." Ikuse hugged his red-eyed puppy. Chapter 234: Merging the Power System of Two Worlds Chapter 234: Merging the Power System of Two Worlds --- Chapter 231 --- Dragon Nest''s Main Base, Advalon. Inside a lush forest, a Dragon''s roar and a Dog''s growling bark echoed several miles away. Each sound could make any spirit beasts below 100,000 years old shiver instinctively as they carry intense pressure that makes one''s blood freeze. However, the reality is often disappointing. Vali Lucifer and Tobio Ikusei breathed as if they had run ap around the world while facing Huo Yuhao in their new forms. The White Dragon Emperor currently adorned a lean draconic armor: scale mail with feather-like energy wings. The iconic blue jewels are still embedded in the armor joints and chest area, releasing a dim light. On the other hand, Tobio Ikuse is thoroughly covered with thick darkness and has his eyes transform into a frenzy of crimson. Six furry tails spurted from his rear, and two scythes somehow attached to his arms, bing one with him. Huo Yuhao yawned and smiled slightly, "The experiment is a sess." "How do you feel?" "Dying..." Tobio Ikuse answered tly. He dropped to the ground and caught his breath. Vali Lucifer released heavy air from his chest and sighed, "This is too much." "Not only you transformed our Sacred Gears into Martial Souls." "But you also turned Albion and Tobio''s dog into Spirit Souls." "It was a sess, but we are losing our abilities and must adapt to these new changes." He added helplessly. It feels like all his effort those years wasted into a drain. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Don''t be like that." "The experiment is also beneficial for Albion. You know that your connection with him has be much stronger than before, no?" "Also, you''re not limited with [Divide], [Reduce], and [Reflect] anymore." He looked at Tobio andmented, "The same goes for you, Tobio. Your connection with Jin is incredible, to be honest. Even more than Vali and Albion, which allowed you to experience a mutation." Woof! A red-eyed husky jumped out from Tobio''s shadow and started licking his face. Compared to the first Huo Yuhao saw this creature, it feels much more alive and vibrant now. Canis Lykaon. Dog God of The ck de. It''s a mutated-type Sacred Gear due to two factors. First, it originated from the King of Arcadia(Lykaon), who incurred Zeus''s wrath and became a wolf after being cursed. The second is Ame-no-Ohabari, the divine sword in Shintoism used to kill Hinokagutsuchi. As a result of the distortion caused by the union of both, the Sacred Gear was ''surprisingly'' turned from a wolf into a dog, and the divine sword became an ominous de because of Lykaon''s curse. Eluxia used her Goddess of Light''s Codex to turn Canis Lykaon into an avatar-type Martial Soul and told Tobio that both origins had merged to the point of no return, which was a curse and blessing for the young man. It was a curse because Tobio Ikuse couldn''tprehend an Orthodox Divinity. And blessing because of how powerful Canis Lykaon was. ording to Tobio Ikusei, he could create a de with the help of Jin(Cynis Lykaon), which could slice Buddha and the Gods. It''s technically ''true'' because Huo Yuhao could feel the divinity negation from Tobio''s attack, but divinity is ''strictly'' categorized into several levels. At Tobio''s current level, he could fight 3rd ss Gods from the Dragon Nest, but that doesn''t mean he could win. As for the Gods from the Douluo Divine Realm, Huo Yuhao can''t say anything for them. Vali Lucifer solemnly stared at Canis Lykaon and sighed, "Albion, you''re letting me down." "Huh?" The blue jewel in Vali''s chest burst out with a handsome-looking white dragon. Well, a ''small'' version of it. "Oy, What do you mean by that??" The cuter version of Albion finally appeared. His ''small'' body looks like a plushie with a stout nose and ppy wings. "..." Vali Lucifer stared nkly at his partner. Since Spirit Souls are technically not living beings as they are more of a spirit than anything. Albion''s current appearance is the result of that. Albion has been sealed inside [Divine Dividing] for gods now know how long, passing from new host to another. He has lost his perfect physical image, which caused Huo Yuhao to initiate ''Baby''s n'' for the Heavenly Dragon. From now on, Albion would start from zero and umte more essence to support Vali''s cultivation. It doesn''t mean the White Dragon Emperor lost their ability. On the contrary, just like Huo Yuhao said earlier, they could forge a new path together. Albion can be an Ultra Divine Beast like the ''Dragon God'' of the Douluo Dalu Universe. But first, he must develop himself from scratch. Well, their abilities are ''already'' considered cheating. Albion and Jin(Canis Lykaon) only supplied three purple spirit rings for their hosts currently. Ultimately, they would be much more mature and provide even stronger ones(spirit rings) in the future. "Okay, that''s it for today." Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and changed thendscape, revealing several panting figures. "Yuhao, you''re devil-nyaa!" Kuroka was the first toin aftering out of the mirror dimension. Besides Vali Lucifer and Tobio Ikusei, Huo Yuhao also trained everyone from the Draconic Deus. Well, it''s more of an experiment than a training. Huo Yuhao wanted to see what kind of degree they are currently in their cultivation. The most noticeable resultse from people like Vali Lucifer and Tobio Ikuse, but the others aren''tgging either. ''They are evolving.'' Huo Yuhao makes a mental note. The natives of Draconic Deus are different from the Douluo Dalu Universe. After all, they originated from a world with a rich power system and different kinds of energy, which they could customize. For example, Light and Demonic Energy are ''actually'' used as extra attributes to enhance their spirit energy. Heck, Ophis merged her ''infinity'' and spirit energy like it was her second nature. The destruction she could create now exceeds what she can achieve in the Draconic Deus. "Get some rest." He shed a smile at them. "Azazel, Ajuka, I have put forward your proposal and made a researchb on the second base. Feel free to check themter." "Kuroka, Koneko, and Kunou. You may visit the Douluo Continent, but remember not to expose anything about yourself." "Ladies from the Vatican and Underworld, I''ll give you an important mission to infiltrate an organization known as the Holy Ghost Church. If possible, you can take over the organization and use it to spread your Faith." Everyone''s eyes widened when hearing about this mission. "Can we really do that, Father?" Gabriel couldn''t help but want to confirm this mission. "Yes, it would affect the world, no?" Venna Bael added shortly after. Huo Yuhaoughed and replied, "Hehe, don''t worry." "This world is prettyx as long as you y ording to the rules." "Like I said to the cute and charming Yokai there, you mustn''t attract too much attention." "C-Cute." Kunou blushed and covered her face with her fox tails. Koneko also flushed, but she hid it well. Meanwhile, Kuroka grinned from ear to ear because she hadn''t heard Huo Yuhao''s praise for a while. "What about the rest of us?" Le Fay Pendragon raised her hand. Huo Yuhao gave them a yful look and responded, "Well, I have other ns for you guys." "What do guys think about a little tournament between your groups?" "I''ll give you a month to enter any sect in the Douluo Continent and enter the Continental Academy Tournament with a different identity. The winner of the tournament may receive one wish from me! As long as it is within my capability, I will fulfill it." "However, you may only use Spirit King Realm Cultivation with no power from your homeworld." They are shocked. One wish. They didn''t know the depth of Huo Yuhao''s power, but they were sure he was the strongest person in the world. Thedies immediately drowned in their hopeful dreams. "Remember, you only have one month." Huo Yuhao walked away. "Let the race begin." Chapter 235: Changing the Tournament Arc Chapter 235: Changing the Tournament Arc --- Chapter 232 --- Huo Yuhao and Scathach sat on the beach, gazing at the vast blue ocean and sky. Scathach has a ss of wine in her hand, something you wouldn''t expect from a battle maniac, but she also took one or two hobbies when Huo Yuhao was away. "So, how was the situation?" The purple-haireddy nced at her greatest disciple. Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, "I gave them one month to pick and enter the sect that wouldn''t expose themselves. However, I really underestimated the value of my own wish." "Beside Azazel and Ajuka Beelzebub, everyone else has joined a sect or simr organization in the Douluo Continent. Well, some are creative enough to make a new sect themselves." "Oh?" Scathach was ''actually'' amused by thetter statement. "Someone makes their own sect? Who is this fellow?" Huo Yuhao stared at Scathach and replied, "It''s your subordinate, Valerie Tepes." "And the Valkyrie from Asgard called Rossweisse." "That girl? Hmm, I didn''t expect that." Scathach was surprised for a second. However, when she thought about it, Valerie Tepes making her own sect wasn''t that weird. There aren''t many sects that focus on Unorthodox methods like Scathach''s god-ying tactic and blood maniption. Holy Ghost Church and Body Sect are good examples of this, but Valerie probably thinks those sects don''t suit her. Scathach trained Valerie herself, after all. As for Rossweisse, Scathach doesn''t have the impression of the Valkyrie, but she shouldn''t be that bad. "Wait, don''t you let the people from the Vatican, Heaven, and Underworld go to the Holy Ghost Church?" Scathach tilted her head slightly. She understood why Huo Yuhao let the natives of the Underworld, such as Venna Bael and Ingvild Leviathan, enter the Holy Ghost Church. Still, Gabriel doesn''t seem to fit into this sect. Huo Yuhaoughed, "Haha, don''t worry, Shishou." "I''ve taught-! Eluxia and I have taught Gabriel and others how to wield Light Element differently. Their mission isn''t just to infiltrate, but also spread their faiths..." "But that makes it not productive, no? You will also spread the faith of Devil God in the Holy Ghost Church." Scathach rebutted with a confused expression. "That''s the point... They are going to split the Holy Ghost Church into two factions." Huo Yuhao put on a wicked expression. "I''m experimenting with the power of faith, expecting a good result." "As you know, I''m the new Biblical God and Devil God. Both faiths will be beneficial for me. I want to see how much change they could give for my divinity." "I see... That''s why." Scathach nodded in understanding. She frowned and nced at Huo Yuhao''s body, feeling the contained pressure inside him. She sighed inwardly because Huo Yuhao had be much more powerful than her. ''I missed the day when I could still bully him.'' Scathach pouted her lips. Huo Yuhao noticed Scathach''s pout and chuckled, lifting her chin slightly to his side. "I''m yours." He said while kissing her lips. "And you''re mine." "Don''t overthink it, Shishou." "Hmph!" Scathach huffed and kissed him more fiercely. The god yer pushed her student onto the sandy beach and stared at those amazing blue eyes. Sitting on Huo Yuhao''s stomach, she could feel the outline of his abs. A warm sensation traveled when they had skinship. "I wouldn''t let you go so easily~!" She whispered to his ears. "You take those words from my mouth." Huo Yuhao winked at her. ... In the meantime, the Douluo Continent was ''suddenly'' swept by a hidden chaos. Almost every sect on the coastline got attacked by mysterious people, and they couldn''t do anything about it. As they were about to catch the attacker, they were gone! Star Luo Empire''s Border, Chasing Sky City. After escaping from the Star Dou Forest, they went to the nearby settlement and took a rest before parting away. Huo Yuhao''s clone sat in the restaurant with the squad from Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire''s princess herself. "Hmm, the situation doesn''t look so good." Xu Jiujiumented while taking a sip of her drink. "Several sects have gotten challenged by an unknown group of people. What do you think, Yuhao?" Huo Yuhao shrugged, "I don''t see anything wrong with it." "The challengers probably want to have some fun." "What do you mean by some fun?" Even the calm and collected Bei Bei couldn''t help but feel speechless. "Yuhao... Take things seriously, damn it." Wang Dong added with a serious expression. Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and asked, "From all the attacks, is there any casualty? Did people die?" "As far as I know... There were no casualties in the attack. It was a pure challenge between two Spirit Masters." The princess answered. Everyone''s eyes widened in realization, except for Wang Dong. "Uh, so? Those sects still got attacked." Wang Dong crossed her arms, which caused Huo Yuhao to facepalm. "Junior Brother, Wang Dong. Challenging a sect isn''t a new thing." Xu Sanshi opened his mouth. "People do it from time to time." "However, what these unknown and mysterious people did exceeded everyone''s expectations." "At this point, even our Shrek Academy will get challenged soon." Bei Bei continued with a weak smile. Tang Ya pumped her fist, "We have some powerful seniors in the school, so the attackers have to think twice before challenging us." "True, true." Jiang Nannan nodded, thinking about the Shrek Academy''s students of higher grades. Although they aren''t at the level of Title Douluo yet, they are still experts. Xiao Xiao and Ma Xiaotao put on aplicated expression as they nced at Huo Yuhao. These mysterious experts probably have something to do with Huo Yuhao, right? Their women''s instinct is tingling. ''Aih, I should have told them not to be too excited.'' Huo Yuhao gazed far into the window of the restaurant. It''s not hard to guess who were the maniacs that challenged these sects. "Anyway, what''s your n after this, princess?" Huo Yuhao changed the topic of the conversation. Xu Jiujiue blinked and answered, "It''s sad to part away with you guys, but I still have something to aplish in the empire. "Unless... You want to follow me back." She added while giving Huo Yuhao a side-eye. "No thanks, we are busy." Xiao Xiao smiled brightly at Xu Jiujiu. "Thanks for the offer, though." ''I didn''t ask you!'' Xu Jiujiu giggled and covered her mouth politely. "Hehe, that''s too bad then." "Still, as my savior, you can visit me in the Star Luo Empire anytime." Ma Xiaotao squinted her ruby-like eyes, "We will see in the future, princess." The threedies have a fierce staring contest that even the onlookers can feel the intense electricity in the air. "By the way, where will the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament be held?" Tang Ya asked as she stuffed her mouth with food. "Xiao Ya." Bei Bei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "Don''t ask while eating your food." "Kay~!" Tang Ya continued to eat. Xu Jiujiu sighed, "About that... I don''t know." "There are rumors that the tournament will be held in the Star Luo Empire, but that''s definitely false." "With the current situation of the Douluo Continent, the tournament might be held in the newest and strongest faction..." "Dragon Nest..." "Ack." Everyone awkwardly stared at Huo Yuhao. "What? I know that I''m handsome, but if you stare at me like that, I can''t help but feel bad." Huo Yuhao shed a grin at them. "..." Everyone. "Go to hell, you narcissistic bastard!" Xu Sanshi and Wang Dong threw pudding at him. Huo Yuhao caught the puddings, "The tournament, huh? If it gets held in the Dragon Nest''s base, it would be an entertaining event..." Hearing Huo Yuhao''s replies, they grimaced and thought, ''He must be nning something bad!'' Chapter 236: Anxious Sea God and Heroines New Life Chapter 236: Anxious Sea God and Heroine''s New Life --- Chapter 233 --- Douluo Divine Realm. "No, no, no!" "It''s gone! The sealed essence and power is gone..." A handsome blue-haired man with a golden trident mark on his forehead ran around inside his office with a panicked expression. "If Xiao Wu knew, she would be mad." He rubbed his temple in weariness because something unexpected happened in the mortal world. "What if I know? What happened, Brother San." A brown-haired woman appeared out of nowhere. She wore a white dress and bunny ears essory on top of her head. Tang San put on a painful look, "This is about Wutong''s essence." "You know that I''ve decided to split Wutong''s essence into two so she could cultivate her martial soul slowly and build a firm foundation for her advancement toward God Realm in the future, right?" "Yes..." Xiao Wu frowned because she didn''t like where this was going. Tang San sucked a cold breath and admitted painfully, "I messed up. I messed up badly, Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu''splexion became pale, but she still forced herself to ask more, "Exin." "Exin what happened..." Her hoarse voice drives Tang San''s heart into coldness. Tang San opened his mouth awkwardly and exined how he sealed half their daughter''s essence and even her ''Origin Soul'' to a spirit beast. Xiao Wu couldn''t believe her ears for a moment. As a spirit beast, Xiao Wu has a spot for her fellow spirit beast. On top of that, her husband actually spliced their daughter''s essence and Origin Soul into a young spirit beast. It was a recipe for a disaster. "How could you do something like this without telling me first..." Xiao Wu felt betrayed, and tears welled in her beautiful hazel eyes. "Wutong is our only DAUGHTER!" "I didn''t know something like that would happen..." Tang San lowered his head in defeat. "I left my eyes from the Douluo for a split second, and the carrier of Wutong''s essence just disappeared." Xiao Wu wiped her tears and indifferently said, "That''s the problem, SAN GE!" "You know how dangerous it was for someone to get their soul split into two, but you still do it anyway." "You could just leave the other half for Da Ming and Er Ming until Wutong is ready." "But no, you wanted and expected the best for Wutong. She''s just a little girl who wants to visit her ancestor''snd." "Xiao Wu." Tang San stretched his hand and tried to hug her. Pa! Xiao Wu pped his hand away, "Don''t talk to me!" After that, Xiao Wu disappeared with crimson brilliance. Tang San grasped the thin air and noticed Xiao Wu''s tears on his hand, making him feel more guilty. The Sea God sat down on the floor with a down look, "I must fix this." "I have made Xiao Wu sad again." "I promised to make her happier than ever, but now... Even our daughter is in danger." Tang San clenched his hand and summoned a crystal ball, using his Divine Sense to oversee the Douluo(lower realm). Even if it''s just a trace, Tang San hoped he could find a clue about the lost spirit beast. ''Don''t worry, Wutong. Dad will fix this problem.'' ''So, please stay safe for now.'' ... Douluo, Dragon Nest''s main base. A beautiful young woman with medium-length blue hair breathed heavily on the ground. She has fair skin, a charming face, rosy lips, and brilliant bluish-golden eyes. She wore a skintight ck bodysuit, which made her alluring body emit this unique burning charm that caused any male to swallow their saliva unconsciously. "This is no good." Even the young woman''s voice is alluring. "Teacher Yuna, you''re too strong." "Are you tired?" Said another beautiful woman with a curved horn on top of her head. She wore pajamas with a ''bread'' theme and had her silky green hair tied in twin tails. "Qiu''er, you''re forcing yourself on a Spirit Beast who just achieved a human form." Huang Qiu''er smiled weakly at that response. It''s been two days since Huo Yuhao kidnaps-! Cough, cough, she meant to bring her to the Dragon Nest. At first, Huang Qiu''er couldn''t ept her new reality, but with the help of her fellow Auspicious Beast and teacher, she adapted very quickly. Huang Qiu''er was very different from the other Spirit Beasts, and even Huang Yuna felt so. Deep inside the transformed Three-Eyed Golden Body is Huo Yuhao''s essence blood, constantly rotating and bing more powerful. She has condensed three spirit rings with the War Beast''s blood essence, each with a powerful and abnormal ability. Her Golden Dragon''s bloodline felt like a jokepared to it. Huang Qiu''er soon realized Huo Yuhao was ying around with her. He could have smacked her into submission if he wanted to. However, he actually offered this position and acted very casual about it. "Here." Huang Yuna handed a bottle of water to her disciple. Huang Qiu''er finished the drink and released a satisfied sigh, "Pua~!" "Teacher, when will I be able to see that guy again?" "That guy..." Huang Yuna giggled in amusement. "You know that for someone whose fate intertwined with yours, he has a nickname befitting his status." "Come on, don''t be shy." "Call Huo Yuhao like how you first call him." "..." Huang Qiu''er. When Huang Qiu''er first awakened from her deep sleep, she felt a master-servant connection to someone. That someone is Huo Yuhao. He''s her master. So, when she opened her eyes, the first two words she uttered were... "Ah, it''s so embarrassing." Huang Qiu''er immediately covered her blushing face. She peeked and saw Huang Yuna''s smug look, "Fine..." "W-When will Dear Mastere to visit again?" "Hahaha~!" Huang Yunaughed while holding her stomach. ''Laugh,ugh all you want~! You know I couldn''t do anything about this matter.'' Huang Qiu''er snorted indifferently. Thanks to Eluxia''s ny-to-one ratio Spiritual Pact, Huang Qiu''er will always regard Huo Yuhao as a superior being, so even if it''s not true, the bond is already imprinted deep in her soul and body. Huang Yuna wiped her tears and said, "Huo Yuhao is currently in a solitary chamber. He wanted to condense more divinity." "If you want to talk with him." "I rmend finding one of his clones." "Clones..." Huang Qiu''er scrunched her nose. ... Deep inside the Self-Evolving Dungeon: Advalon, Huo Yuhao meditated in a temporal void of darkness. This ce is where Space-Time Laws are the strongest, allowing Huo Yuhao to grasp the power of the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao. It was challenging and manageable because Huo Yuhao had several skills rted to Space and Time Maniption, but he had to grasp their fundamentals first. In short, back to the basics. Huo Yuhao also split his mind to do other training, such as honing his Divinities and polearm mastery. Huo Yuhao''s eyes shed with countless scenes of the future as he mumbled, "I leave the rest to my clone. I couldn''t waste this enlightenment." "Douluo Divine Realm, just wait for me." A smirk formed on Huo Yuhao''s handsome face. At the same time, countless academies/sects on the Douluo Continent are preparing for the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. However, none of them have realized the brewing storm that''s about toe. Chapter 237: The Seven Candidates of Holy Lady Chapter 237: The Seven Candidates of Holy Lady --- Chapter 234 --- In a quiet room, several dark-hooded people gathered. Each person has this eerie aura that words can''t exin but could easily make one shiver by standing nearby alone. "How is the situation in the West?" Asked a dignified voice back in the darkness. It was a figure who sat calmly on a throne made of bones and chains. Someone cleared his throat and answered, "Supreme Leader... I''m afraid the civil war between the Heavenly Soul Empire and Dou Ling Empire will continue for five if not ten more years." "Heavenly Soul Empire also cut their connection with us, as if they have another backer." The figure called Supreme Leader frowned slightly. One couldn''t see the face behind those shadows, but everyone in the room knew their leader was displeased. "There is a high chance that the backer is the Dragon Nest." Another person in the room uttered. "Dragon Nest? Those mysterious bunches always ruined our n." A cold yet feminine voice echoed in the room. "Supreme Leader, please give me the authority, and I''ll immediately wipe their people off the Douluo Continent." A fiery voice mocked, "Hmph, Fourth Elder. You said that, but you were the one who ran away when those two experts from the Dragon Nest swept the Douluo Continent months ago." "Shut up, they ''simply'' caught me off guard." The cold voice rebuked. Their Supreme Leader stared at the empty air, "Dragon Nest, huh?" "Besides Java Ind, we didn''t know any ces that might be their base." "I believe they held a high-fashioned auction a while ago, right?" "Yes! We tried to sabotage the area alongside the Body Sect, but we didn''t expect Dragon Nest''s Queen of Thunder toe and guard the ship by herself." Someone answered. "We couldn''tpletely gauge her strength..." "Queen of Thunder." A hoarse voice chuckled. "What an arrogant nickname." Hearing the hoarse voice, everyone suddenly bes quiet. "What''s the matter?" "Why so quiet all of a sudden?" "Sect Leader, don''t look down on the Dragon Nest..." A dignified and deep voice made the room even colder. A pair of gray eyes with slit-like dragons gazed at the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader snorted, "They are just a group of fools. How could they resist our church? We possessed a power others didn''t dare to wield while Dragon Nest was ying around with their mystery." "Haa... Sometimes the unknown is the most dangerous." The deep voice sighed. "You didn''t know when those abysses woulde and swallow you into oblivion." The tension in the room bes more awkward until the Supreme Leader says something. "Enough!" "Sect Leader." "Grand Worship." "Show me some respect..." "Heh." The Sect Leader smiled and didn''t say anything even further. Grand Worship nced at the throne and pitifully closed his eyes, making the mood in the room eerie again. After quite some time, someone finally opened his mouth and asked, "Supreme Leader, we gained several new worships this year." "Some of them can be the candidate of Holy Lady." "How many?" The Supreme Leader inquired. "Seven, Your Highness." Everyone was shocked by the numbers. Sevendies with such affinity toward evil elements are rare. The Sect Leader couldn''t help but swallow his saliva and asked, "How could I never hear of this?" The voice wavered as he responded, "This is..." "The seven candidates were ''actually'' spotted just five days ago. Each in a different location." "Seven... That''s enough to form a team." Sect Leader chuckled in anticipation. "What''s their names and background?" "The first candidate is a fallen noble from the South of the Star Luo Empire, and her name is Venna Bael. Martial Soul, Mask of Enchantress." "The second candidate is a nun from a small church near the Heavenly Soul Empire''s west border. Her name is Asia Argento. Martial Soul, Prayers Gauntlets." "Likewise, the third candidate is also a nun and is discovered on the other side of the Heavenly Soul Empire''s border." "Her name is Xenovia Quarta. Martial Soul, Unholy Sword." "The fourth candidate is the third candidate''s adopted mother. She managed an orphanage, and her name is Griselda Quarta. Martial Soul, Corrupted Light Beast." "The fifth candidate is a war orphan discovered when she showed her singing ability on the streets of the Dou Lin Empire. Her name is Ingvild Leviathan. Martial Soul, Deep Sea Siren." "The sixth candidate is most likely a descendant of a dragon-type spirit beast and human. Her name is Tiamat. Martial Soul, Chaos Karma Dragon." "The seventh candidate is Grayfia Lucifuge. She''s an independent Spirit Master who roamed around the Sun and Moon Empire''s territory." "Martial Soul, Space-Rted Tool tainted with demonic power. A Magic Gun, as she described it." "Interesting..." Everyone pondered about something upon listening to the reports. Even the Supreme Leader of the church should make these girls their saintess. They are worth nurturing, considering most could be Evil Spirit Masters with enough teaching. The Supreme Leader noticed the Sect Leader could not wait to taint those innocent girls. A sigh escaped the Supreme Leader''s mouth because everything was for their church''s greatness. "Supreme Leader, If I may request... Can I take one of the candidates to be my disciple?" One of the elders raised his hand. "I also want to take one as my disciple..." Another elder said. "Me too." "The one with the Unholy Sword martial soul is mine." "Then, I will take the one with the Prayers Gauntlet. From the name alone, I could feel closeness with her." "Tsk." The Sect Leader clicked his tongue in annoyance. He nned to take seven candidates for himself, but now he can''t. "I will take the Tiamat girl." The Grand Worship said with a deep voice. He wouldn''t take no for an answer. After all, Chaos Karma Dragon is definitely a rare dragon-type martial soul, so he didn''t want such purity to get corrupted. "You old fellows..." The Sect Leader grumbled. ''Good, good, you guys have angered me.'' ''I will let you guys away for now.'' The Sect Leader calmed himself down and said, "Then, The candidate with a space-rted martial soul will get trained personally by me." As everything settled, the meeting came to an end. Unknown to them, the seven candidates of Holy Lady will be the reason for their church''s disbandment in the future. ... In the hallway, the Sect Leader grinned and walked to the room where his new disciples resided. He pushed the door open and saw the most beautiful young woman in his entire life. Her fair face. Her alluring body. Her mid-length silver hair. However, all of those are meaninglesspared to her cold blue eyes. Those indifferent eyes caused the Sect Leader to get more excited to teach this new disciple into submission. "Haha, are you Grayfia?" He asked with a smile. Grayfia nodded, "Grayfia Lucifuge, at your service, holiness." "Call me Teacher Wu. from now on." The Sect Leader returned confidently. Grayafia frowned slightly and responded, "No." "No?" The man known for being a psychopathughed. "You''re not worthy to be my teacher." The silver-haired woman calmly stated. "In this world, I only submit to one man..." "And you''re not that person." "Hoho." Zhongli Wu snickered as a dark aura seeped out from his body. Twelve blood wings appeared and surrounded Grayfia. "I didn''t ask you to regard me as a teacher..." "I ORDERED YOU!" Zhongli Wu let out a maniacalugh as the silver-haired woman fell to the ground, twitching like a dying animal. He extended his hand and made the woman float to his side. "Haha, It would be fun breaking you down, Grayfia." Zhongli Wu didn''t know the room was ''thoroughly'' covered with an illusion rune. The real Grayfia Lucifuge sat on the chair nearby and sipped her evening tea, "How unrefined." "Ah, I missed Yuhao-sama already." The silver-haired devil rubbed herher region and mumbled, "I must be patient... If I win Yuhao''s sama''s favor. I might get what I want." Chapter 238: Returning to Shrek Academy Chapter 238: Returning to Shrek Academy --- Chapter 235 --- Shrek Academy. "Phew, we''re finally back!" A group of youths entered the gate into the Shrek Academy. A youngdy stretched her voluptuous body and said, "It took us three days to return. The adventure was wild, though." "Senior Ma, please stop doing indecent things." Someoneined. "We are still at the gate, you know. People are staring at us?" Ma Xiaotao frowned and sent a death re at the onlookers, frightening them. She was only stretching, and these hungry-looking men were already lusting over her. "Scram!" Ma Xiaotao indifferently said. Even though Ma Xiaotao has lost her ''evil'' attribute thanks to Huo Yuhao''s cleansing, that doesn''t mean the infamous fire demoness of the Shrek Academy has disappeared. She ced her hands on her hips and thought, ''I''m not even revealing that much of a skin.'' ''Well, if Huo Yuhao wants to see... I don''t mind showing him.'' Ma Xiaotao''s thoughts wandered somewhere else. After all, Huo Yuhao has seen her bare body more than once. "Tsk, save your bad thoughts for yourself, Senior Ma." Xiao Xiao clicked her tongue in displeasure. Ma Xiaotao snapped from her imagination and blinked, "Ehem, I don''t know what you''re talking about." "Yeah, sure..." Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes and went to Huo Yuhao with a skip, hugging his left arm tightly between her developing bosom. Bei Bei and others watched the antics between Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao and sighed. "I''m jealous..." Xu Sanshi mumbled. "Of course, you''re. Perv..." Jiang Nannan snorted at him. Xu Sanshi realized his mistake and wanted to fix his words, "Ack, you heard it wrong, Nannan." Of course, Jiang Nannan didn''t trust him. Tang Ya covered her mouth and giggled, "Hehe, Sanshi, you''re in big trouble." "You must coax Nannan, or she will get jealous." ''Hmph, who''s jealous...'' Jiang Nannan stomped her leg and swayed her head away, ignoring Xu Sanshi''s pleading expression. "Shishishi... Younger brother, when you be a fine man in the future, you shouldn''t act like Sanshi." Tang Ya leaned and patted Wang Dong''s shoulder. Wang Dong''s mouth twitched, "Yes, Sect Master."Even though Wang Dong is a girl, she couldn''t expose her gender because it would be a wasteful cover. Also, being a handsome boy is better than being a beautiful girl. She doesn''t like to attract male attention too much. Bei Bei pped his hand and said, "Okay, stop bickering and rest for the next two days. We have been through a lot, so make sure to check if there is something wrong with your body and mental health first." "Okay!" They responded. "Also, Yuhao and Senior Ma." Bei Bei stared at the blue-haired young man. "Can youe with me and report to Dean Yan about our journey?" Huo Yuhao turned around and sighed, "Eh, That sounds like a pain in the ass." "Don''t say that. You know we wouldn''t get out without Dean Yan''s permission, right?" Bei Bei put on a troubled smile. "Fine. I''ll entertain that old man." Huo Yuhao helplessly returned. Now that Huo Yuhao thought about it, Yan Shaoze and Azazel would be such abo with each other, considering their nature. One somehow always gets scammed, and thetter likes to scam others. Achoo! At Shrek Academy''s inner court, Yan Shaozhe sneezed and rubbed his nose indignantly. "Someone must be talking bad about me." "The weather is nice. Yup, someone must be talking about me. I hope it''s not that rascal Huo Yuhao..." His expression darkened slightly. Yang Shaozhe wanted to puke blood when he remembered that ruthless rascal charged an extreme price for helping Ma Xiaotao. Because Ma Xiaotao is like his precious daughter, he agreed immediately. Even then, his precious daughter was ''eventually'' taken away by Huo Yuhao. "Kuuh, just imagining his face is enough to annoy me." Yan Shaozhe mumbled to himself. "If only he''s not from the Dragon Nest." "I need a cup of coffee. Yes, a cup of coffee would help." As Yan Shaoze made a cup of coffee for himself, someone knocked on his office door. "Hmm?" He nced at the clock on the wall and frowned. Yan Shaozhe tilted his head because there shouldn''t be any visitors at this hour. He also has finished his statement about the Inner Court and Outer Court''s curriculum change. The door opened, revealing a blue-haired youth. "Yo, old man. I am back!" Huo Yuhao made an entrance and waved his hand at him casually. Yan Shaozhe''s hand clenched as he threw the cup at Huo Yuhao, "It''s you!" "Woah, woah, calm down there." Huo Yuhao caught the cup and sipped the coffee in a carefree manner. "Oh, nice roast on this one..." "..." Yan Shaozhe. "Haha, calm down, master." Ma Xiaotao giggled and walked between the two of them. Even then, she leaned more on Huo Yuhao''s side. Yan Shaozhe''s eyebrows furrowed, ''Aih, as they said, daughter left you as soon as they found a spouse.'' Bei Bei entered the room and said, "Dean, we are here to report about our journey." Yan Shaozhe red at Huo Yuhao and sat down, "Go on..." Bei Bei nodded and narrated their whole journey in the Star Dou Forest. When Yan Shaozhe learned they obtained a rare External-type Spirit Bone, he was this close to jumping and pouncing on Huo Yuhao. Unfortunately for him, Huo Yuhao has bought the spirit bone with Dragon Nest''s resources. "Lucky bastard..." Yan Shaozhe cursed between his breaths. "Did you say something, Dean?" Huo Yuhao leaned on the couch nearby. "Nothing." Yan Shaoze waved his hand, swooshing the blue-haired rascal away. "Continue the report." "Okay. After that, we searched for a spirit beast for Senior Ma and found a Three-Headed Giant Eagle. I believe the age is over 70,000 years old." Bei Bei continued. "Well, it''s all thanks to Huo Yuhao, who weakened it first." "Senior Ma got her Sixth Spirit Ring, and we encountered Star Luo Empire''s Princess, Xu Jiujiu, in a way and saved her from a horde of spirit beasts." "Truthfully, we were also in grave danger because the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest suddenly went berserk. All because of a mighty dragon roar that shook my whole being..." "Thanks to Huo Yuhao''s quick decision, we were out of the forest as soon as possible. After sending the princess away, we hired a carriage and returned to the academy..." Even though Bei Bei''s report sounds like bootlicking, he didn''t lie about a single thing. "Huo Yuhao again..." Yan Shaozhe nced at the blue-haired youth. Huo Yuhao shed a grin, "No need to thank me. I know that I''m amazing." "Also, I help Senior Ma mutate her martial soul, free of charge." "You wish. Do you think martial souls mutate as easily as you said?" Yan Shaoze didn''t trust Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao shrugged as Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei had an awkward looks on their faces. Ma Xiaotaoughed and activated her martial soul, simultaneously triggering the Phenex n''s bloodline in her body. Her red hair gained more golden strands, swaying gently. Six spirit rings rose from the floor, each having a simr fiery bird pattern. Besides the burning crimson-gold me, there is also a faint sense of Wind Elements around her. Yan Shaozhe''s eyes widened in disbelief, "No way..." "Yes, way." Huo Yuhao chuckled. "With this, Senior Ma could enter the Continental Tournament. She haspletely recovered her cultivation and even be stronger than her former self." "Truly rise from the ashes." "You heard him, Master." Ma Xiaotao smiled. "I want to join the tournament and represent Shrek Academy!" "Please don''t stop me." Yan Shaozhe dejectedly dropped on his chair, "Very well." "But you must pass a test against me first." "We can''t be sure your mutation is a good thing." ''Old man, you''re looking down on the bloodline from one of 72 Devil ns.'' Huo Yuhaoughed inside as he could predict that Yan Shaozhe would suffer soon. Chapter 239: The Perfect Mutation Chapter 239: The Perfect Mutation --- Chapter 236 --- Shrek Academy, Sea God Lake. In the middle of a beautiful blueke, a small ind called Sea God Ind stood for a long time and became well-known among the people of the Douluo Continent. That''s because the Sea God Pavilion stood here! The Sea God Pavilion is the central power and governing body of Shrek Academy and Shrek City. Members gather to discuss important matters of state and things that concern the safety of humanity itself. There is also a rumor that a Demi-God with Spirit Rank: Level 99 resides in the Sea God Pavilion. Many thought it was a rumor, but the name of Shrek Academy isn''t just decoration. Huo Yuhao and othersnded on the small ind, feeling an incredibly fresh sensation upon stepping on thend. Upon looking up, one could see a majestic tree hundreds of meters high with goldish-brown bark and lush green leaves. An incredible amount of life energy gathered in this tree, surprising Huo Yuhao a bit. Huo Yuhao smiled and thought, ''If Kuroka, Koneko, or Kunou came. They would like this ce because it has such a rich''Natural Force'' in the atmosphere.'' ''Ancient Golden Tree, huh?'' He scanned the tree with Evo''s help and obtained the information regarding it. "Hmm, Maybe I should nt some simr nts in the Dragon Nest''s base..." "Did you say something?" Yan Shaozhe squinted his eyes suspiciously at Huo Yuhao. At first, he doesn''t want to bring this troublesome rascal to the Sea God Ind, but the pavilion master somehow allows it. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "I''m just admiring the scenery." "Nice tree." "..." Yan Shaozhe''s mouth twitched. At least try a little bit harder when lying! Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao nodded andmented, "It is a nice tree." "A famous legend said that Tang Sect''s Ancestor and Legend of the Shrek Academy, Tang San, nted this tree before he left the Douluo Continent and ascended his Godhood." Bei Bei said as a matter of fact. "Yes, 10,000 years passed after that." Yan Shaozhe confirmed calmly. ''Yeah, and he leaves a mess left and right for future generations to clean it up.'' Huo Yuhaomented sarcastically. Of all the things Tang San''s done for this world, nting the Ancient Golden Tree is just one thing he did to prevent Shrek Academy''s destruction. And it''s not even that impressive, considering how Tang San destroyed the ughter City and Spirit Hall, the two ces that maintained order in the Douluo Continent 10,000 years ago. Sure, they were corrupt, and there is no need to sugarcoat it. However, evil people live in corrupt ces. Look now, 10,000 yearster. Trash was ''literally'' mixed with the goods. Like, he could have done much more. Huo Yuhao sighed, ''It was a good thing I founded the Dragon Nest on a different continent. Douluo Continent is a melting pot of disaster.'' ''Not to mention the Gods are freely watching us from above like it was an entertaining TV show.'' ''Well, I don''t have to worry much about them. I''m still consolidating my Gods'' Positions currently.'' Huo Yuhao whistled. Yan Shaozhe fixed his suit and said, "Follow me." Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and Bei Bei followed Yan Shaoze into the Ancient Golden Tree and were ''immediately'' greeted by an entrance tangled by roots. They went there, finding the area was rather dim but had more than enough sunlight to see. As they went deeper, Huo Yuhao could see a long table, and at the far corner was an elderly in a wheelchair. He was none other than Mu En, the white-haired elder Huo Yuhao greeted when entering the Shrek Academy for the first time. The white-haired elder is wearing an ordinary gray robe and looks very modest, something you wouldn''t expect from a former Peak Title Douluo Realm expert. "We met again." The elder opened his eyes and revealed a pair of brilliant golden eyes. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yes." "It''s nice to see you around, one of Twin Holy Dragons." "This Huo Yuhao greets you." Mu En chuckled and shook his head bitterly, "With the state I am currently in, that title doesn''t fit me." "But... I''d still take it for granted." People also called Mu En the Dragon God Douluo, but there is no way in hell Huo Yuhao called him that. Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe was speechless. When did Huo Yuhao and the Pavilion Master know each other? Such informality. As far as he knew, this rascal only yed around in the Shrek Academy and asionally sparred with the girls in his dorm. Only recently, Huo Yuhao and others went out to hunt for spirit rings. ''Weird, very weird.'' Yan Shaozhe gazed at Huo Yuhao''s back, which was ''bizarrely'' shrouded with mystery. The more Yan Shaozhe got to know Huo Yuhao, the less he knew about him. Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei also nced at each other, finding this situation weird. "Pavilion Master." Yan Shaozhe stepped forward and cupped his hand. "Elder Mu." Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei greeted. "Mm." Mu En nodded. "It seems you have a fortuitous encounter, Xiaotao, Bei." "We are lucky." They responded humbly. "Luck is also part of strength." Mu En returned calmly and nced at Huo Yuhao. "Well, let''s proceed with Xiaotao''s problem." "Xiaotao,e here." "Let me check your Martial Soul." "Okay." Ma Xiaotao nodded and walked forward, stretching her hand to Mu En. Mu En lifted his hand and grabbed Ma Xiaotao''s arm, closing his eyes. Yet a secondter, he exhaled deeply with widened eyes. "T-This is..." "What is this?" "I have never seen something like this before..." Everyone was confused except for Huo Yuhao. "I-I there a problem with Xiaotao, Pavilion Master?" Yan Shaozhe worriedly asked. Mu Enughed heartily, "If a problem means good, then Xiaotao is indeed a big problem." "I don''t know where she obtained this precious bloodline essence, but it was extremelypatible with her Origin Fire Phoenix Martial Soul." "It''s not an exaggeration saying Xiaotao has fully achieved perfect mutation." "So, Senior Ma''s case is simr to our Radiant Sacred Dragon?" Bei Bei uttered in curiosity. Mu En shook his head weakly, "Her mutation might be more powerful than that, Bei." "Our Ancestor, Yu Xiaogang, awakened a ''negative'' mutation of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. He was ''literally'' condemned by his peers until he formed the Golden Iron Triangle and devised several theories about Martial Soul''s evolution." "10,000 yearster, we inherited his bloodline. He created another path for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Radiant Sacred Dragon''s lineage!" ''Why did you make it sound epic, though?'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butment in his head. Mu En stroked his beard and continued, "What Xiaotao achieved is nearly simr to her ancestor, Ma Hongjun, but even more powerful." "Her martial soul, in my opinion, might have reached the realm of Ultimate." "But if we want to know more about it, we must test Ma Xiaotao''s new martial soul." "Let''s go to the field..." Mu En seemingly used his Mental Power to move his body off the wheelchair, hovering in the air gently. They followed him into a field within the Sea God Pavilion. It was an area of one hundred meters square with a bounded field. Mu En checked something and said, "Shaozhe, I''ll let you test Xiaotao''s new martial soul. However, be careful." "Okay, let''s go. Xiaotao." Yan Shaozhe entered the field. "Mm." Ma Xiaotao followed him. Huo Yuhao leaned on the wooden rail andmented, "Elder Mu En, do you want to bet?" Mu En raised his brows and smiled, "I don''t think this old man has enough chips to gamble with you." "It''s a light bet." Huo Yuhao waved his hand casually. "The winner only has to do a small favor, and you can even reject it if it''s beyond your limit." "Well, I''m all ears." Mu En was interested in Huo Yuhao''s proposal. Huo Yuhao smirked, "I bet Senior Ma could damage Dean Yan within three moves." "Oh, I''ll bet Shaozhe fully restricts his disciple then." Mu En responded calmly. Bei Bei recognized the smirk on Huo Yuhao''s face and failed to stop his great-grandfather. ''Aih, Junior Huo. I know you''re up to no good.'' He sighed helplessly. Even then, he felt Huo Yuhao''s prediction was ridiculous. How could a Soul Emperor possibly damage a Title Douluo? Chapter 240: The Small Favor Chapter 240: The ''Small'' Favor --- Chapter 237 --- Yan Shaoze and Ma Xiaotao faced each other on the field. One has a calm expression. And the other is somewhat nervous. Even though Ma Xiaotao was nervous outside, she felt Yan Shaoze''s aura wasn''t as terrifying as Yang Xin(Scathach), who beat the crap out of her and Xiao Xiao in the past months. That demon-like trainer is instilling trauma in Ma Xiaotao''s body, mind, and soul. "Are you ready?" Yan Shaozhe asked with a smile. "Yes." Ma Xiaotao nodded firmly. Her eyes showed a deep determination, which surprised Yan Shaozhe a little. Yan Shaozhe cursed Huo Yuhao in his head because he dared to steal his precious disciple''s heart like this. Above all else, Yan Shaozhe also heard the bet between Huo Yuhao and Pavilion Master Mu En. He couldn''t help but sneer as no matter how much Ma Xiaotao improved in a short time. She''s only a Soul Emperor. "Xiaotao, make your move." Yan Shaozhe said while cing his hands behind his back. A brilliant red light suddenly erupted from Ma Xiaotao''s body. Red mes appeared out of thin air, forming an image of a noble phoenix. Still, it doesn''t end there because the noble phoenix lets out an arrogant cry that makes all divine birds kneel before it. "This is..." Yan Shaozhe was speechless. His Martial Soul is Bright Phoenix, a rare-type phoenix that controls Radiance or Light Element. However, Bright Phoenix couldn''t hold a candle against Ma Xiaotao''s newly mutated Martial Soul. Ridiculous! Yan Shaozhe sighed as he forcibly dispelled the pressure on his Martial Soul. Even then, Ma Xiaotao''s Origin Fire Phoenix is still bursting with intense heat. Six ck spirit rings appeared around Ma Xiaotao''s body, each having a Phenex n''s Pattern. The fiery bird pattern shone brightly and added a demonic touch to the surroundings. Mu En, Bei Bei, and Yan Shaozhe were baffled by this sudden change. They couldn''t recognize this new force Ma Xiaotao summoned. Of course, they couldn''t possibly recognize Demonic Power from the Draconic Deus. Also, due to the difference inw between the two worlds, Ma Xiaotao''s Demonic Power couldn''t be suppressed with light elements like how the Holy Element works on the Draconic Deus. Ma Xiaotao stomped the ground and lunged forward with countless green lines on her legs and arms. Bam! Swoosh! "How fast." Yan Shaoze mumbled solemnly. Ma Xiaotao''s third spirit ring lit up, and a spear made of condensed Phoenix''s me appeared in her hand. The spear is three meters long with a zing tip like it could turn anything into dust. ''Since when did Xiaotao wield a spear?'' Yan Shaozhe started to feel his disciple wasn''t simple anymore. As the possessor of fire-based Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao always focused on controlling her fire element more than anything. Weapon wielding isn''t part of her strength, or so what Yan Shaozhe thought. Although Ma Xiaotao isn''t Scathach''s official disciple, she still learned one or two things about the spear used to y Divine Spirits. "Swift Stab." It was a simple stab but very quick with the drive of her momentum. Yan Shaozhe stretched his hand and attempted to p the spear away. Bam! Ma Xiaotao was ''actually'' sent flying, but she quicklynded on her foot and mumbled, "Too slow... Yang Xin''s spear is faster, precise, and deadly." "If I could mimic even a fraction of her spear technique, I should be able to force Teacher Yan to move a little." If Scathach is here, she would snort at Ma Xiaotao''s attempt to copy her spear technique. "How can a spear be this sloppy?" "Are you sure that''s not fire stick instead?" A bitter smile appears on Ma Xiaotao''s face because the woman around Huo Yuhao is a monster in one way or another. She must show her unique charm to stand out among the countless girls. "My shoring is myck of foundation." "My Spirit Circuits are too young." "Even with iplete Universal Breathing Technique, I couldn''t draw that much strength." "What Ick, what I have..." Ma Xiaotao closed her eyes. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yes, that''s right. Senior Xiaotao, follow your instinct." "If you don''t have orck something, you can simply make one." "Fortunately, You have all the resources to do so." "Make something? Is that the teaching of your leader?" Mu En nced at Huo Yuhao because he found this youth''s words interesting. "Yeah, something like that." Huo Yuhao shrugged casually. Meanwhile, Bei Bei tilted his head in confusion. He didn''t know what Huo Yuhao was talking about. Ma Xiaotao closed her eyes and probed the Phenex n''s bloodline in her body. Hellfire bursts out from her eyes, forming a terrifying scarlet mark. "True Phenex Body." Ma Xiaotao turned into a fire phoenix over three meters high. She looked majestic as her crimson hair swayed like a fine fire wave. "Oh?" Yan Shaozhe''s eyes lit up. "To manipte your bloodline like this." "As expected of my disciple." "Shameless!" Huo Yuhao shouted from the rail. "You''re the one who was shameless!" Yan Shaozhe shouted back. Mu En observed Ma Xiaotao''s change andmented, "She has unearthed her bloodline''s power, but it wasn''t perfect." "She won''tst long in that form." "She knows, but a few seconds is more than enough." Huo Yuhao replied with a grin. "That old man is in big trouble now, hehe." BOOM! The Sea God Ind trembled. Ma Xiaotao''s fingers turned into ash-colored talons. Her fifth spirit ring lit up. "Origin Phoenix''s Ambush." She shed to Yan Shaozhe''s side, leaving behind a fire trail. She opened her left hand and made a grabbing gesture, causing Yan Shaozhe''s mouth to twitch. ''Xiaotao, you have be more powerful and beautiful. But you''re still not strong enough!'' Yan Shaozhe gazed at Ma Xiaotao with a calm expression. "I won''t let that rascal corrupt you even further.'' He released his Spirit Energy a little and waved his hand at the iing talons. BOOOOOOOM!! A powerful explosion happened after the intense contact, and Ma Xiaotao was ''unfortunately'' sted by Yan Shaozhe''s counterattack again. "D-Dean was pushed back a little." Bei Bei''s eyes widened in shock because Yan Shaozhe took half a step back. "But he wasn''t injured. The firepower behind Xiaotao''s attack pushed him, but she couldn''t break the barrier between the cultivation realm." Mu En strokes his beard wisely. "Don''t be too sure. Senior Xiaotao still has one more chance." Huo Yuhao chuckled. Ma Xiaotao wiped melted spirit energy from her cheeks and stared at her teacher with a grave expression. "This won''t do..." "True Phenex Body couldn''tst long." "What would Huo Yuhao do in this situation?" "Ah." Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth. "I''m an idiot." What force allowed the weak to resist the strong? It''s none other than one''s WILL! Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and stood up, giving Huo Yuhao a victory sign. She nced at her teacher and said, "Teacher, the next one will be my final attack." "Come then." Yan Shaozhe said grumpily. Ma Xiaotao''s sixth spirit ring lit up, consuming all her spirit energy. The True Phenex Body activated again as the phoenix mes became hotter and more condensed. Wind and lightning danced around, creating a flickering storm behind Ma Xiaotao. "That sixth ck spirit ring is over 70,000 years old." Bei Bei gulped nervously. "Senior Ma''s power is terrifying." Ma Xiaotao''s aura changed abruptly, and the sound of air vibration spread on the field. "Mental Power, eh?" Mu En sensed Ma Xiaotao''s state and thought about something. BOOM! Ma Xiaotao jumped and thrust her hand down, "True Phoenix''s Descent." Yan Shaozhe squinted his eyes and released another bit of his spirit energy, concentrating it. "This y is over." Yan Shaozhe confidently watched the True Phoenix''s Descenting to him. However, he regretted his decision a secondter. Ma Xiaotao''s attack tore through Yan Shaoze''s spirit energy and nearly reached his hand. "Bright sh!" Yan Shaozhe instinctively activated his 1st spirit ring. BOOOOOOOOOM!!! An intense explosion covered the whole field, shaking the Sea God Ind again. Huo Yuhao jumped from the rail and caught the flying Ma Xiaotao, carrying her like the princess she was. "Good job." He said with a smile. "Hehe." Ma Xiaotaoughed despite her exhaustion. As the smoke cleared, Yan Shaozhe''s situation became viable as he stood on the edge of the field. "W-Woah." Bei Bei''s jaw dropped. To think the dean feared by many people was pushed back that far. "This is not over yet! Give Xiaotao back, you rascal!" Yan Shaozhe roared at Huo Yuhao. He looks like a mad mother bear whose child is kidnapped or something. "Stop, Shaozhe." Mu En''s calm voice echoed. "Look at your palm." Yan Shaozhe was confused but still looked at his right hand, seeing a scorching mark on his skin. "..." Yan Shaozhe. Huo Yuhaoughed, "Like I said, three moves." "Elder Mu En, I won the bet." "You did." Mu En nodded in agreement. "Well, hear my little favor then." Hended on the ground and grinned. "I want to exchange moves with you, a short spar. What do you think?" Everyone was shocked, including Mu En. Mu En''s eyes twinkled as he sighed, "I see..." "This is your goal from the beginning." "No, not really." Huo Yuhao returned immediately. He also wanted to see how far Ma Xiaotao had gotten with the Phenex n''s bloodline. "So, wanna fulfill the ''small'' favor?" Mu Enughed softly, "Very well." "I will show you the power of Ultimate Douluo." Chapter 241: Huo Yuhao vs Mu En (1) Chapter 241: Huo Yuhao vs Mu En (1) --- Chapter 238 --- "H-He challenged the Pavillion Master..." Yan Shaozhe was speechless. "This rascal is ridiculous!" Even though Yan Shaozhe wanted to stop this futile spar, he couldn''t because Mu En had epted the invitation. "Junior Brother." Even Bei Bei has aplicated expression on his face. Not many people in the new generation know, but Mu En is ''widely'' acknowledged as one of the strongest people on the Douluo Continent. He''s also one of the Twin Holy Dragons with the title Dragon God Douluo! Unfortunately, Mu En was injured due to some conflicts in the past and dropped from level 99 to level 97. It was so bad he couldn''t move without using his immense spiritual power. Mu En hovered onto the field and stared at Huo Yuhao amusingly. He could tell how hot-blooded this blue-haired young man was. "So, how do you want to exchange moves with me?" He asked calmly. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Before that, let''s change the area and heal your wounds." "I don''t want to destroy this ce-!" "Stop bragging, Yuhao! Do you really think you stand a chance against the Pavilion Master?" Before Huo Yuhao could finish his words, Yan Shaozhe shouted at him. His annoyance is crystal clear from the tone alone. Huo Yuhao nced at Yan Shaozhe and shrugged, "Who knows? I''ve never tried." He has fought Gods, Devils, Monsters, and even Buddha in the Draconic Deus Universe and Everlith Universe. However, he also wanted to see how theypare to the peak mortal''s strength in the Douluo Dalu Universe. Strictly speaking, Douluo Dalu Universe''s power system allowed someone to fight Gods despite being in the lower cultivation realm because they have extremely firm and stable Universal Laws here. Huo Yuhao realized this after awakening the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao, prying the secret of the universe. If not, he wouldn''t do this small experiment. But one might wonder, why didn''t he fight Title Douluo from the Dragon Nest instead? The reason is Dragon Nest has used apletely different standard than Spirit Master in the Douluo Continent, which is still somewhat old-fashioned. And who''s more old-fashioned than Mu En? He has touched the realm of Demi-God, following steps referenced from his ancestors. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger, and the surrounding space suddenly warped, shocking everyone. "What happened?" Mu En''s eyes shone as he observed the surrounding area. "The space... No, the dimension is parallel like a mirror to the real world." "And this is not a domain, am I right?" Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes. It''s just the profound application of space-altering Rune. We called it the Mirror Dimension." "Anything we do here won''t affect the real world, but there is a catch. It onlysts for an hour or so." "Mirror Dimension, huh? How fascinating. Dragon Nest''s deeper than I thought." Mu En sighed in awe. Yan Shaozhe''s mouth twitched, "I don''t know Dragon Nest has this kind of power..." Ma Xiaotao blinked and didn''t say much about this because she had gotten inside the Mirror Dimension countless times when Yang Xin(Scathach) dragged them to her hellish training. As for Bei Bei, he was too stunned to speak. They didn''t know not everyone in the Dragon Nest could cast the Mirror Dimension. Huo Yuhao said it was only an hour or so because he was confident Mu En could entertain him within that period. Yes, Huo Yuhao hoped Mu En didn''t disappoint him. ''There is a limit my clone could unleash, but it should be fine.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. He grabbed something from his inventory. It was a green bean filled with mysterious power. [Name: Ten-Folds Senzu Bean] [Effect: Upon Consumption,pletely heal any physical and spiritual injuries from one''s body and mind, even if it was life-threatening injuries] Huo Yuhao felt he was generous to give Mu En this treasure, even though he knew this was just one of many overpowered consumables he had in the inventory. He has experimented a lot with his resources, after all. "Elder Mu En, catch this." Huo Yuhao tossed the Ten-Fold Senzu Bean away. Mu En raised his brows slightly because he was observing the Mirror Dimension. He used his mental strength to form a hand and caught the green bean. "What''s this?" He asked with great interest. He could feel that this green bean was extraordinary. Huo Yuhao smirked, "Dragon Nest''s specialty. It could heal any injuries on or in one''s body." "With it, you''ll return to your peak." "You might regain your youth too." "Aih, are you scamming me?" Mu En couldn''t help but chuckle. "Just eat it and see." Huo Yuhao returned casually. Mu En stared at the green bean and decided to trust Huo Yuhao by opening his mouth. He couldn''t taste anything besides ndness upon eating the bean, surprisingly. However, his dim yellow eyes widened in shock abruptly. BOOOOOOOOOM!! The ground and air shook violently as Mu En stood up on the ground without using his mental power. His wrinkle disappeared, and his crooked back straightened. Mu En''s long white hair and beard from old age started bing ck again, gaining their lustrous gleam. His yellow eyes brightened into that of a pure light gold. His spirit energy also soared, causing a shockwave twice, indicating his return from level 97 to level 99. "Haha... How insane." Said Mu En, who now looks like a middle-aged man instead. His body emitted immense vitality that even youth didn''t have. He looks more like Bei Bei''s uncle rather than his great-grandfather. "..." Yan Shaozhe. "..." Ma Xiaotao. "No way..." Although Bei Bei has seen Mu En''s past appearance in some pictures, seeing it himself is different. "Just who are you, Huo Yuhao?" Mu En stared at Huo Yuhao solemnly. He has underestimated this youth. In the past, he thought Huo Yuhao had a ''great'' position in the Dragon Nest because of the preferential treatment people from the other side demanded from Shrek Academy. ''I''m too naive. Huo Yuhao must be much more important than that.'' Mu En gazed at Huo Yuhao''s calm blue eyes. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "You didn''t return to your appearance in the mid-twenty. That''s surprising." "Oh, and to answer your question. The leader of Dragon Nest is my master." He continued like it was ''normal'' information. Of course, it was a lie. But his lie is too good. Mu En was taken aback, "I see... No wonder." "Is this spar perhaps his instruction?" Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes because this old fellow overthought his words, but since the matter hade this far. He might as well lie again. With his thick skin, Huo Yuhao nodded and answered, "Yes, yes, my master wants to test me." "Then, I have to take this spar seriously..." Mu En clenched his hand and felt the power he once lost. "Haha, that would be my pleasure." Huo Yuhaoughed as he stood firmly on the ground. Everyone was nervous except Huo Yuhao and Mu En as they stared into each other''s eyes, trying to find a w. Surprisingly, Mu En couldn''t find any. "What suspense." Bei Bei didn''t dare to close his eyes. The spar might nowst long, but he wished to observe everything. It should help him a lot. Yan Shaozhe bit his sleeve and mumbled about Huo Yuhao being an annoying rascal. ''Yuhao, you must win!'' Ma Xiaotao fiercely stared at the blue-haired young man. "Let''s start." Mu En said calmly. Huo Yuhao nodded, "Come, Elder." Mu Enfortably stretched his arm like the elder he was and punched the air, producing a fierce shockwave. And it''s not an ordinary shockwave because Mu En enhanced it with his mental power. In a way, it''s like infusing Conqueror''s Haki into his attack. Of course, Huo Yuhao knew what Mu En used. It''s the Sovereign''s Descent or Absolute Dominance! This technique incorporates physical attacks and spiritual attacks. Huo Yuhao stared at the iing attack and pinched his thumb and index finger, condensing his Armament Haki and Conqueror''s Haki into one point. "External Destruction." He said while snapping his fingers. cklight traveled through the air and tore Mu En''s shockwave, creating a suffocating feeling. "Dear God..." Mu En stared in disbelief. "He''s a monster." BOOOM! An eruption of dust happened, covering the whole ground. When the dust was ''gradually'' cleared, everyone could see Mu En standing with blooding off his left palm. The palm he used to fend off the attack Huo Yuhao sent. "What was that technique?" Mu En asked after looking at his bleeding palm. He used the Light Holy Dragon''s essence to heal it but found Huo Yuhao''s will was still lingering on the wound. Huo Yuhao blew the dust away and answered, "Haki." "One of Dragon Nest''s Core Techniques." Chapter 242: Huo Yuhao vs Mu En (2) Chapter 242: Huo Yuhao vs Mu En (2) --- Chapter 239 --- Mu En felt strongly surprised. Haki? He never heard of such a technique, not even after living in the Douluo Continent for so long. Then, it must be a self-created technique! To manipte one''s will like this. It was simr to Mu En''s Sovereign''s Descent or what people called Absolute Dominance in the past by refining mental power to a certain extent. However, Haki is something else. In just a simple exchange, Mu En could feel Huo Yuhao used two different principles of Haki andbined them into one. First is an overbearing will that shatters others'' will. And the other is a reinforced will that could strengthen and even materialize like a bullet. Combining both allows any injuries inflicted to be ''extremely difficult'' to heal. "Amazing, Dragon Nest''s Technique possessed such a marvel." Mu En praised earnestly. "Young Yuhao, you have thoroughly surprised me." "But the fight is just getting started." Golden lightning suddenly struck the field. Mu En held the golden lightning in his hand and threw it at Huo Yuhao, creating a whistling sound in the area. Huo Yuhao smiled and ejected Armament Haki, creating a jet-ck barrier. BOOM! The lightning struck Huo Yuhao''s barrier and created a thunderous explosion. As Huo Yuhao stared into the distance, Mu Enpletely disappeared and appeared with another golden lightning. The middle-aged man used the lightning bolt like a spear, thrusting it toward Huo Yuhao''s belly. Huo Yuhao stepped aside as if he could predict the future, surprising Mu En even more. Mu En''s golden eyes twinkled, ''Interesting. It was understandable Huo Yuhao could counter my Sovereign''s Descent with Haki, but to dodge a lightning-speed attack like that? His movement is too weird as if he predicted my movement.'' Huo Yuhao stomped the ground and generated a shockwave that washed everything within fifteen meters away. Mu En dodged andnded on the ground, giving the blue-haired young man an approving gaze. "Woah, I couldn''t see anything. Even after enhancing my eyes with the Purple Demon Eye Technique!" Bei Bei shouted in shock. All Bei Bei could see were Huo Yuhao and his great-grandfather''s silhouettes moving at unimaginable speed! Ma Xiaotao put on a helpless expression because her ''Observation Haki'' was too weak. Even though Scathach has taught her, it was only to the realm where she grasped a handful of clouds rather than the ''real'' technique. Her eyesight improved, but like Bei Bei, she could only see stocky images of Huo Yuhao and Mu En. "T-This is..." Yan Shaozhe''s jaw dropped. Unlike Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei, he was a full-fledged title douluo and has long surpassed the mortal''s observation. He watched Huo Yuhao and Mu En exchange their moves in a fraction of a second. None of their movement escaped his sight, but it also shocked him because Huo Yuhao could achieve something like this. ''I know Huo Yuhao is the disciple of Dragon Nest''s Leader, but isn''t this a little too ridiculous?'' Yan Shaozhe gulped nervously. He didn''t notice that the rascal who always annoyed him was this monstrous. BAM! BAM! BAM! Huo Yuhao and Mu En contested with pure physical prowess. Although they used Haki and Thunder Element sometimes, their fists and legs were the ones that made contact most of the time. BOOM! Huo Yuhaonded on the edge of the field, and the same goes for Mu En, who had a big smile on his middle-aged face. After regaining his body''s health again, Mu En finally could let loose, and Huo Yuhao didn''t disappoint him. Every exchange he makes with youth makes his aged blood boil like when he was young. "You have a good teacher." Hemented. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yeah." Even though Scathach gave him some PTSD, she still molded him into a strong warrior. She even acknowledged Huo Yuhao for being her ''greatest'' disciple ever. Mu En closed his eyes and opened them slowly, revealing a pair of draconic eyes. Swoosh! The atmosphere suddenly bes solemn. Cold, bloodlust enveloped the whole field and would freeze anyone below Mu En''s level in fear. Yet Huo Yuhao countered it with his Conqueror''s Haki. ''This also doesn''t work?'' Mu En thought to himself. ''Hmm, then what about this?'' Mu En''s bloodline essence rotated rapidly, turning his left hand into a dragon w coated with white-gold scales. A concentrated ball of lightning appeared, releasing a dim golden light. "T-That''s..." Yan Shaoze was surprised. "Dragon Emperor Demonic Rupture!" "The Pavilion Master actually used this technique to fight Huo Yuhao?" Ma Xiaotao curiously looked down and asked, "What''s Demonic Emperor Demonic Rupture, Teacher?" Yan Shaozhe sighed and answered, "Back in the early days, the Pavilion Master Mu En was known for being a genius and nemesis of darkness." "The reason is his self-created technique to render anything rted to darkness useless by harnessing the thunderous natural qi and radiant power of light. Even if his opponent isn''t a dark-type Spirit Master, the impact of this technique would cause several internal damage and continuous explosion." "The ultimate palm technique!" "Nice, show me what you can do!" Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes lit up as boundless spiritual energy swept the area. Mu En breathed in and swept his palm against the air, creating a thunderous roar of a dragon. Huo Yuhao looked up and saw several manifestations of a golden palm descending with a dancing holy dragon around it. He lifted his right hand and released a tiny wisp of Neb Thunderfire, causing the space around him to get distorted. The wisp increased the room temperature rapidly, and Huo Yuhao sped his hands before parting them again, "Open." The wisp rotated and turned into a purple fire arrow, burning fiercely. "Release..." Huo Yuhaounched the fire arrow. The palm attacks and arrows shed in the sky. "Such a powerful me..." Ma Xiaotao sucked a cold breath. Even Mu En couldn''t help but frown when sensing the danger behind Huo Yuhao''s wisp of Neb Thunderfire. The destruction force is unfathomable. They didn''t know that Huo Yuhao barely used 0.1% of Neb Thunderfire as it would destroy the Mirror Dimension. ''If you can''t handle this, you don''t deserve your title.'' Huo Yuhao gave Mu En a challenging look. Mu En stared at the fire arrow that tore his attacks apart andughed bitterly, "Youth these days is too terrifying." "Aih, to think he would force me to use my 1st spirit ring." He shook his head gently, and a yellow ring slowly manifested from his foot, rising like a flying dragon. Mu En clenched his dragon hand into a fist and mumbled, "Golden Sky Breaker." ROAR~! The thunderous roar of the holy dragon echoed again. Mu En punched the iing fire arrow and blew the space off. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Clouds of dust covered the Mirror Dimension. Still, a golden brilliance covered the whole ground in a straight line toward Huo Yuhao''s position. Huo Yuhao opened his palm casually to block the attack and stared at Mu En, "That wasn''t ordinary 1st spirit skill." Mu En nodded, "There are some secrets to cultivating a martial soul that the public doesn''t know." "Bybining one''s bloodline essence into a spirit ring, one could evolve the ''spirit skill'' even further. In my case, the Light Holy Dragon''s martial soul caused my spirit ring to mutate." "Of course, this method required intense care and a prolonged cultivation." "Well, your eyes should be the same." He added, giving Huo Yuhao a knowing look. "I know you have a Body-type Martial Soul." "But I assumed your Martial Soul has experienced a second awakening like those from Body Sect." Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "I''d appreciate it if you don''tpare me with those people. Their method of achieving a second awakening for body-type Martial Soul isn''t suitable for my eyes. Too primitive and risky." "Hmm, eyes are indeed delicate organ." Mu En strokes his beard. "Why don''t you show me what you can do now?" He asked the same question Huo Yuhao uttered a moment ago. Huo Yuhao was stunned and thenughed, "Haha~! Elder Mu, I don''t know you''re this petty." "I''m just curious." Mu En waved his hand. "Very well, then." Huo Yuhao sighed because using the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao with this clone''s body is limited. He could only use one or two Heavenly Daos. But it was more than enough. As Mu En anticipated Huo Yuhao''s next move, the aura he released changed abruptly. "Hmm?" Mu En was puzzled. What is this feeling? Mu En felt like his whole being was being looked down upon by something. Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes gained several white specks like stars in the sky and caused everyone to shiver instinctively. [Ding! You have sessfully used Heavenly Dao of Myriad Shape and Heavenly Dao of Life!] "Come, The God of Osiris." "Bring forth your majestic appearance with my call..." Huo Yuhao molded his imagination as Heavenly Dao of Myriad Shape allowed him to create a living vessel and Heavenly Dao of Life permitted him to inject Breath of Life into it. Thunderclouds brewed atop, allowing the lightning bolts to swim one after another. A massive, serpentine body descended to the Mirror Dimension. "Slifer of the Sky Dragon!" ROAR!!! Chapter 243: Huo Yuhao vs Mu En (Final) Chapter 243: Huo Yuhao vs Mu En (Final) --- Chapter 240 --- Slifer is a red serpentine, ck-bellied dragon with spikes running down its body. Its wings are bat-like in form, with two thumb ws. Slifer''s head has two mouths; the bottom jaw of the smaller top set is part of the top jaw of the rger'' set. Thest tooth on each cheek isrger than the others. Slifer''s head is ''naturally'' crested with four spikes protruding horizontally and tworger ones from the back of the head curving vertically; the sapphiremon to the Egyptian Gods is ''majestically'' nestled at the front of the crest. Its tail crest is ''simrly'' shaped but with a single ttened spike at the tip rather than two spikes. Slifer has short limbs with three-toed feet. Crimson aura sted out from its massive body, causing the Mirror Dimension to tremble violently. Mu En stood on the edge of the field, staring at the Slifer with an astonished look. Just from standing before this dragon alone, Mu En could feel his Light Holy Dragon''s martial soul and bloodline felt threatened. How could such a powerful beast exist in this world? Mu En unconsciously activated his bloodline essence and formed an image of Light Holy Dragon behind him, making the two dragons roar at each other to show their dominance! ROAR! ROAR! "Shit!" Yan Shaozhe crossed his arms and created a protective barrier so Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei wouldn''t get affected by the two creatures'' presence. Yan Shaozhe possessed Bright Phoenix''s Martial Soul but shivered like no tomorrow when facing ''Slifer, the Sky Dragon'' and Mu En''s Light Holy Dragon. Their presence tore Bright Phoenix''s natural protection as if telling him to kneel. Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei also have powerful Martial Souls, but they haven''t cultivated them to the peak, so they are gasping like injured dogs on the floor with a paleplexion. Crack! The Mirror Dimension shattered and recovered simultaneously, which made Huo Yuhao frown slightly. "This is not good." He said while staring at Mu En''s Light Holy Dragon. It was stronger than he expected but not strong enough to grasp divinity because the possessor was still a Demi-God in body and soul. He sped his hand and wrote some runes in the air, expanding the Mirror Dimension to the whole Sea God Lake. As the Mirror Dimension stabilized, Mu En raised his brow and chuckled heartily, "Haha, It seems you don''t expect the fight will cause something like this." Huo Yuhao smiled and returned, "The same goes for you, right? Elder Mu?" Mu En nodded and stared at the Slifer again, giving it a solemn look because this dragon wasn''t a simple manifestation of a spirit beast. It looks and feels divine, making Mu En believe the Slifer was summoned in the flesh by Huo Yuhao''s Martial Soul. ''I know why the Dragon Nest put so much importance on Huo Yuhao now because he''s someone every faction wanted.'' ''His attainment at such a young age showed how unbelievably talented he was.'' ''But what''s this unsettling feeling?'' Since Huo Yuhao stepped into the Shrek Academy, Mu En always felt this blue-haired youth was ''literally'' shrouded by mystery. Even his Light Holy Dragon felt pressured by something inside him. Although Huo Yuhao has shown Mu En countless mind-boggling abilities in thest few minutes, why did he feel there is more to it? Huo Yuhao hadn''t gone all out shed in Mu En''s mind, but he felt it was ridiculous. Summoning this divine-like dragon should have exceeded his immature cultivation, pushing him to the limit. Still, Mu En''s suspicion lingers in his heart. Of course, Mu En''s intuition is correct. Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao is amongst the newest powers that Huo Yuhao obtained, and he''s not very proficient in them. There are countless ways for Huo Yuhao to defeat Mu En, but he doesn''t use those abilities because it is unfair. For example, Huo Yuhao could easily trample Mu En with Eternal Shadow, but where is the fun in doing so? Huo Yuhao likes to temper himself. Even if it''s just a small progress on his now piles of hard work and luck, he''d prefer to learn more and more about the world. After learning existences like the Cursed God and his wives exist, Huo Yuhao knows there are endless possibilities outside there. Beyond the veil of this world, terrifying forces are eyeing him like a piece of juicy steak. Huo Yuhao must learn and adapt to defeat them, ensuring his family and people''s safety. That''s why his main body entered a solitary training toprehend the Art of Ten Thousand Waves and Heavenly Daos of the Universe. "Let''s start." Huo Yuhao''s Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao shed with a keen light. Mu En responded with a smile and charged forward. His first spirit ring, only hundreds of years old, lit up. "Golden Sky Breaker!" "Rumbling!" Light Holy Dragon and Slifer shed in the air. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! The Sea God Ind burst open, allowing the two dragons to ascend and fight more violently. Huo Yuhao and Mu En exchanged blows more fiercely as their hands and legs created rippling air and explosion in the sky. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "Light Holy Dragon''s Body." Mu En''s second spirit ring lit up this time. Huo Yuhao responded with a whistle and used his ss Systems, which he hadn''t used for a long time. He still used them ''sparingly'' as each fighting style ''uniquely'' was integrated into his arsenal. [You have equipped ''Dragonborn Crusader'' ss] [No ss''s Weapons detected] [You have entered ''Battle Monk'' Mode] SWOOSH! Mu En''s upper body is ''thoroughly'' covered by white-golden dragon scales, including his neck and chin, as he punches his right arm toward Huo Yuhao''s chest. Huo Yuhao let it happen and punched Mu En''s chest in exchange. BAM! BAM! They stared at each other, and Mu En let out a surprised groan. "This-!" BOOM! Mu En wasunched to the Sea God Lake and felt his chest churning in soreness. [You have used ''Judgement Strike'' with ''Mace-like Hand'' form] [You have dealt a ''small'' damage toward the enemy] ''What happened?'' Huo Yuhao unclenched his hand and looked down with an astonished look. ''Since when did my Dragonborn Crusader ss be this strong?'' ''Wait, it''s not the ss that bes stronger.'' ''My stats exceeded my former self, years of umtion in the Everlith Universe and Draconic Deus Universe. Even if I''m just a clone.'' Huo Yuhao''s lips unknowingly curled into a smile because he had a bold idea regarding his sses. Could he form God''s Seat with them? Theoretically, he could. However, Huo Yuhao needs to understand each ss to a fundamental level first and even upgrade them to a divine level. "When you see something from a different perspective, a new path somehow opens..." Huo Yuhao sighed in helplessness. Mu En soared again and summoned his third spirit ring, which is purple-colored. He used his third spirit skill and caused a heaven-shaking shockwave that washed the Sea God Ind. "Light Holy Shockwave." Intense lightning and holy elements invaded the atmosphere, frying everything in its path. Huo Yuhao opened his palms and used Dragonborn Crusder''s Skill to nullify the shockwave. [You have used ''Shield Bash'' with ''Shield-like Hand'' Technique] [You have nullified Lightning and Holy Element with your Sub-Races'' Innate Ability] Huo Yuhao kicked the ground and appeared before Mu En''s eyes. Mu En raised his elbow and blocked the iing fist, rotating in the air and kicking Huo Yuhao in retaliation. BAM! Huo Yuhao was ''actually'' sent flying a few meters away, and Mu En chased after him. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Several water pirs soared to the sky because of them. "DRAGON BLAST!" "LIGHT HOLY BARRIER!" Slifer opened its upper mouth and sent a menacingser beam at Mu En. Light Holy Dragon roared and erected a holy barrier for Mu En. BOOM! CRACK! Mu En blew off steam and looked at Huo Yuhao, whonded on Slifer''s head. "Haha, he forced me to use four spirit skills." Mu Enughed in amusement. This fight went in apletely different direction. "Should we end this with one move? The Mirror Dimension won''tst long." Huo Yuhao suddenly proposed. Mu En was stunned but then nodded his head in agreement. The spar has gone for too long. The heaven and earth trembled upon the might they released. Mu En called the Light Holy Dragon''s image and fused it with himself, summoning his spirit rings. They are two yellows, one purple, three ck, and three reds. Mu En actually has three spirit rings that are over 100,000 hundred years old! No wonder people called him the Dragon God Douluo because his spirit ring configuration exceeded Douluo Continent''s standard. Huo Yuhao grinned at this sight and released his spirit ring, causing Mu En''s expression to freeze. Six crimson brilliance covered the sky, shining down the Sea God Lake with pure immensity. ''He''s not a young dragon. He''s a full-blown monstrous dragon!'' Mu En thought with a grin on his middle-aged face. "HAHAHA~!" A joyfulughter escaped Mu En''s mouth. After years of sickness, this is the first time Mu En enjoyed a fight again! Huo Yuhao also responded withughter as he descended with Slifer, the Sky Dragon. [Ding! You have equipped ''Dark Avenger'' ss] He called Failure(the first weapon he obtained) from the Azure Emperor''s fault and coated it with Conqueror''s Haki and Armament Haki. Wielding the greatsword, Huo Yuhao faced Mu En fearlessly. So what if he was a clone? He''s still the strongest! "DRAGON EMPEROR REALM QUAKE!" Mu En is ''suddenly'' covered with golden dragon armor as he pounces forward with a dragon w. The Light Holy Dragon''s image merged with him, creating a fifteen-foot halo behind him. Huo Yuhao swung the greatsword in his hand, which was ''ultimately'' apanied by Slifer''s roar. [Ding! You have executed Dark Avenger''s Nightmare Skill: Dark Crash!] Dark Avenger''s Aura exploded and shed with Light Holy Aura. The sky and earth inverted. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! A blinding light swept everything within one hundred miles. The Mirror Dimension finally crumbled because it couldn''t handle the damage anymore, revealing Huo Yuhao and Mu En, who stood on the field motionlessly. Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and sighed, "Jeez, what a shame. It''s a tie." "Don''t you think so, Elder Mu?" Mu En blinked at Huo Yuhao and finally nodded, "Yeah. A shame indeed." They bowed at each other after exchanging some pleasantries, leaving the audience confused. Just a moment ago, they felt like the world was about to end. "Senior Ma, let''s have dinner! I''m starving!" Huo Yuhao waved his hand at Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao nodded dumbly, following Huo Yuhao out of the Sea God Pavilion. Yan Shaozhe and Bei Bei went down, checking Mu En. COUGH! "Blergh!" Mu En suddenly spurted blood and looked very pale. "Pavilion Master!" "Elder!" Mu En wiped his blood and smiled, "Haha, it''s okay." "It''s just some light injuries." "Aih, that little monster wants to give me some faces in front of you all, but it seems I''ve wasted it." Thatst attack frightened Mu En. Yan Shaozhe looked very solemn, "Is he that powerful?" "Junior Yuhao..." Even Bei Bei felt puzzled by this result. Mu En looked at the blood on his hand and said, "Dragon Nest has raised a True Dragon. The strongest monster this world ever faced." "All this time, Huo Yuhao hides his true power. No wonder he looks down on Shrek Academy." "And I felt he hid more than this." "Shaozhe, Bei, don''t tell anyone about this spar." "Understood!" Yan Shaozhe and Bei Bei gave Mu En an affirmative look. Mu En waved his hand, "Leave. I''ll check the area in case there was damage first." Yan Shaozhe looked at Mu En worriedly before sighing and walking away with Bei Bei. As they left the field, Mu En spewed a mouthful of blood more and trembled on the ground. He kneeled with one leg and felt a shallow cut on his chest and neck, trickling with crimson aura. "Haha, he could have killed me there..." Mu En chuckled grimly. "What an interesting fellow." "He will be the storm that caused either glory or chaos on the Douluo Continent. I hope it''s the former. I don''t want to be his opponent" Mu En''sst remarks were ''inherently'' filled with indescribable fear. Chapter 244: Upgrading Luck Again Chapter 244: Upgrading Luck Again --- Chapter 241 --- Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao returned to the boarding house, watching the Sea God Lake flutter due to the evening wind. The ripple appeared so beautiful and left Ma Xiaotao marveling. Ma Xiaotao sighed and said, "Thankfully, you used the Mirror Dimension, or else the Sea God Ind and Sea God Lake would be no more. No, I''m sure the whole Shrek Academy won''t survive thatst sh between you and Elder Mu." "Still, you held back, didn''t you?" Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "No, not really." "In my current state, unleashing a more powerful attack wouldn''t be good." "Is that so?" Ma Xiaotao was confused. After all, how could a clone Huo Yuhao created years ago couldpare to his main body? This clone was ''sufficiently'' created when he was still a mortal and has yet toprehend divinities. No one in the Douluo Continent could rival him, but Huo Yuhao couldn''t say the same to the Gods and Goddesses in the Douluo Divine Realm. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao discovered another method to form a God''s Seat, and that''s by using his ss Systems. "Let''s go inside, the night ising." Huo Yuhao said as he watched the sunset. Ma Xiaotao nodded and followed Huo Yuhao inside the boarding house, finding Xiao Xiaozing around on the couch. "Oh, you''re back." Xiao Xiao rolled her body and smiled at Huo Yuhao. "How was it, meeting with the Dean?" Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Well, I have some fun." ''Your definition of having fun is defeating one of the strongest legends in the Douluo Continent, huh? Aih, how ridiculous, but I got used to it already.'' Ma Xiaotao''s lips twitched in disbelief. Xiao Xiao was seemingly interested when Huo Yuhao said he was having fun and sat up, "Care to tell me about it?" Huo Yuhao didn''t mind and told Xiao Xiao about his ''casual'' duel with Mu En in the Sea God Ind''s Mirror Dimension. As the green-eyed youngdy listened to the story, her eyes widened in shock. Xiao Xiao is the heiress of the Thousand Bakery Merchant Heiress, so she knows more information than the public does. In the past, the name Mu En struck fear in any Evil Spirit Master''s heart because he suppressed them with absolute power. The Dragon God Douluo''s title is no joke! Yet the same legend is defeated by Huo Yuhao! This joke is not remotely funny. Xiao Xiao knew Mu En was injured and was halfway into the graveyard already, but when she heard Huo Yuhao heal him to the prime, she couldn''t believe her ears. Prime Mu En. Xiao Xiao couldn''t imagine how powerful he was. "Why did you make the story sound like a casual spar in the afternoon?" Xiao Xiao scrunched her nose. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Because it is a casual spar." He pinched Xiao Xiao''s little nose and added, "When youprehend what Yang Xin(Scathach) taught you, you''ll understand the realm of experts is ''finely'' separated by manyyers." "Mu En is one of the strongest here." "But in my Dragon Nest, he''s nothing but young grass." "There is a realm above Limit Douluo, which should be your goal now." After saying that, Huo Yuhao turned around and waved his hand. He walked upstairs and stopped. "Oh, yeah. Someone from the Dragon Nest wille in the morning. You and others can choose the Rune Stones you want." "Choose wisely, and you will obtain a fortune." "Okay..." Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao watched the blue-haired young man disappear from their sight. Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao nced at each other, sighing because they couldn''t adapt to Huo Yuhao''s vision. When he said there was a realm above Limit Douluo, they believed it because the realm above was none other than the Realm of Gods. However, the real question is, can they reach it? "This is a test." Ma Xiaotao clenched her hand in determination. Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes and enviously said, "Of course, but you''re lucky to have a gift from him, which might help youter." In the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Xiao knew what Huo Yuhao gave Ma Xiaotao wasn''t ordinary blood. If not, Ma Xiaotao wouldn''t have obtained such a rapid boost of cultivation and strength. Huo Yuhao entered his bedroom and closed his eyes,prehending what he had learned after sparring with Mu En. The ss System is not an ordinary feature. There must be a reason why Evo has such a feature. It was to give him an alternative path! "Evo, open status." [Opening status...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Age: 18] [Race: Primordial Human(Primitive God)] [Sub-Races: Divine Dragon(+), War Beast(+), True Daemon(+), Genesis Seraph(+), True Kroman(+)] [God Seats: God of Fortune, Dragon God of Destruction, God of Lust] [God of Lust''s Shared Divinity: Vow, Five Elements, Corrupted and Pure Lights, Endless Wisdom, Pure Water, Absolute Ice, True Illusion, Absolute ughter, Brahma''s Seal] [Plundered Divinity: Trimurti, Sky, Storm, Wind, Lightning, Thunder, War, Cursed, Faith''s Eyes, Corruption] [ss: Dawn Bringer, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Silver Ranger, Techno Master, Pagma''s Incarnation] [Cultivation Realm: Level 145/Half-Step Godking Realm] [Martial Soul: Chaotic Dragon Emperor(10+), Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao(2+), Chains of Heaven(10+), Divine Throne of Beginning and End(5+)] [Contracted Souls: Tian Meng, Bing Di, Eluxia, Helena, Titania(Innate Spirit)] [Profession Skills: Craftsman, Chef, Alchemist, cksmith, Rune Master] [Extra Skill: Overclock, Dice, Uriel] [Extra Passive Skill: High Roll(SSS), Supreme King''s Presence, Lesser Divine Sense, Voice of All Things, True Lord of Dragons, Limit Breaker, Boundless Emperor, Heavenly Poison Body] [Concepts: Destruction(10), Nullification(4), Tear(11), Stars(7), Dark Light(2), Concept of Small Plundering(9] [Techniques: Haki(+), Prating Fist(SS), Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Weapon Mastery, White Room''s Martial Art Mastery, Gentle Love Tap(S), Water Stream World Smashing Fist(SSS)] [Cultivation Art: Universal Breathing Technique, Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, Endless Primordial Sea Art] [Azure Emperor''s Vault: Eas(103), Frost(SS), Great Apostle Creation(SSS), White Ogre Mask(S), Yeoui(SSS+), Sky Poison Pearl(Ex), rk Kent''s sses(SS), Ste(SSS+) Guardian Shield(SS+), Leviathan Axe(SS+), Switch Axe(SSS), Ex-Caliburn(SSS), The Darkest Star''s Halberd: Dosa(Ex), Fairy King''s Canvas(Ex), Grand Duchess Ink Devil''s Quill(SS/Damaged), Onyx Brush(EX+), RM-Cube, Heavenly Soap] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(29), Gold(17), ck Gold(5), tinum(19), Amethyst(2)] "Well, well, well..." Huo Yuhao stared at his system panel in disbelief. To think he hase this far aftering to this world. "Evo, my main body is still in the Advalon, right?" [Yes] "If I upgrade something, will it affect my main body?" [If you upgrade physical-rted things, then your main body will feel it] [I rmended you to upgrade more ''Abstract'' stats] Huo Yuhao smiled and asked, "I bet I can''t still upgrade you, even with Amethyst Upgrade Correct] [Indeed, you need a tinum Amethyst Upgrading Ticket for that or an even better option, Origin Blue Upgrading Ticket...] When mentioning ''Ocean Blue'' to Huo Yuhao, there is a hint of longingness in Evo''s monotone voice. "Origin Blue..." Huo Yuhao mumbled with a frown. "I thought thest grade was tinum Amethyst?" [That''s Upgrading the Ticket two tiers above Amethyst] [tinum Amethyst Upgrading Ticket is indeed the highest you know and is a medium of Tier 3''s order and allows the ''Greatest Upgrading System'' to ess even more data from the Omniversal Order, but there is a better option...] [You know about tiering already, so telling you about this is necessary] [Host, do you still remember what my purpose is?] Huo Yuhao racked his brain and recalled the moment Evo bound itself to his soul, "To find a Host that can utilize you to the fullest." [Correct, To find a Host that can utilize me to the fullest] [My current tier is Tier 4] [The system also wanted the Host to reach the highest realm possible, and that''s being Tier 1] [Ocean Blue is the Permission Order of Great Omniversal Will, allowing any system to reach Tier 2 or possibly Tier 1] "I see..." Huo Yuhao stayed quiet for a while. "Don''t worry, Evo. I''m your Host. I will bring you to that realm sooner orter." [Thank you, Host] Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Since I can''t upgrade you, I will upgrade something else." [Noted] "Evo, Upgrade my luck again." [...] [Do you want to use Amethyst Upgrading Ticket to upgrade your Luck: EX?] [There is a huge chance of failure...] "Yes, and also. Activate ''Dice'' and ''High Roll'' to increase the odds!" [Your chance of winning increased slightly] [Using Amethyst Upgrading Ticket] [Upgrading Luck''s Stat...] [Ding! You have sessfully upgraded your Luck] [Luck: EXX+] "Hahaha~!!!" Huo Yuhaoughed like a madman. [Divinity of Fortune has be stronger] [You have obtained a new title!] [The ''Little Lucky Star of Omniversal Order''] [Ding! The 1st Tier''s Hidden Seal is protecting your existence!] [Your appearance won''t appear in the Omniversal Order] Chapter 245: The Proper Usage of Class System Chapter 245: The Proper Usage of ss System --- Chapter 242 --- [You have obtained a new title] [The ''Little Lucky Star of the Omniversal Order''] [Ding! The 1st Tier''s Hidden Seal is protecting your existence!] [Your appearance won''t appear in the Omniversal Order] "Eh?" Huo Yuhao stared at thest two notifications dumbly. "This, there such a function from the seal in my soul?" "Wait, you know about this already, didn''t you, Evo?" [Only Tier 1 Entities could possess such authority, Host] [Although I don''t know who ced the seal on your soul, it still let me in] [Which means...] "The Tier 1 Entity expected you to be my system..." Huo Yuhao wasn''t dumb. He knew what Evo was implying. [Correct] [You won''t get the glory, but you were ''ultimately'' safer without those Omniversal Entities knowing your location or presence. It is, after all, a form of protection] [Only the ''Great Omniversal Will'' knew you obtained this title] "Great Omniversal Will. I bet it was a powerful entity." Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding. [Powerful is an extreme understatement. Great Omniversal Will is the watcher of Omniversal Order and its consciousness!] Huo Yuhao shook his head because he''d be depressed if he delved too much into this Omniversal Realm conversation. He sighed and nced at the new title he had obtained. [Little Lucky Star of Omniversal Order] [Since the beginning of the Omniversal Era, countless powerful entities imed to possess immense luck, but are they? To have luck means to bear its weight. The ''Little Lucky Star of Omniversal Order'' is a title that only one individual could wield at a time] [A legend echoed throughout a million realms. They said the little lucky star was a sign of prosperity and chaos for the Omniversal Order. That''s why they are also called the Radiant Epoch!] [Every time a Radiant Epoch descends, everything shall fall into adversity or prosperity!] [Effect: Your Luck is Unrivaled, even in the Omniversal Order?] [Warning: Too much luck is sometimes disaster] "..." Huo Yuhao. "This is literally Suffering from Sess. Should I feel happy or not? It feels like a cursepared to all the achievements I obtained." "Like, Milf Hunter and fucking Lucky Bastard is better..." "Can I take it off?" [Unfortunately, no] Evo answered monotonously. [It''s Permanent] "Fuck me..." Huo Yuhao cursed between his breaths. A bitter smile crept onto Huo Yuhao''s mouth because he didn''t expect something like this to happen. He wasn''t happy with the new title as it would definitely lead to countless annoyancester. Then, Huo Yuhao remembered he still had a problem with the ''Bearer of Waves'' title he learned when fighting the Cursed God and his wives. He rubbed his temple and sighed, "Anyway, let''s focus on positive matters first." "Evo, what do you think? Can I use my sses as foundations to be God?" [Positive] [However, you need to upgrade your sses to Divine-grade ss first] Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, "borate." [ss Systemes with many variants...] [A legendary individual called the ''Gamer'' once used his system and built his power based on RPG-based capabilities, which ended up employing ss-System as the base for his Constetion] [There is also ''God yer'' who inherited his true power by merging countless sses into one, saving his ne from destruction] [What you currently use is a variant ss-System. It allows you to obtain and equip sses, giving you countless choices of progress] [Since it''s variant, you could upgrade your ss through upgrading means than standard promotion. It was a shortcut, which also stopped you from understanding them to a fundamental level] "The basics..." "Then, what should I do?" Huo Yuhao had some ideas but wanted to hear Evo''s suggestion first. [Let me finish first...] [Every ss has five grades based on their growth] [Basic, Veteran, Master, Saint, and finally Divine] [All your ss, besides Pagma''s Incarnation, is at Master Grade] "Let me guess, Pagma''s Incarnation was Grand Master-grade?" Huo Yuhao questioned with a smile. [No, Pagma''s Incarnation is Divine Grade] Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened, "Damn." "How do they correspond to Item Grade or Upgrading Tickets?" [To upgrade your ss to Divine Grade, you need one tinum Upgrading Ticket] "Damn." Huo Yuhao''s heart is already bleeding when hearing this. If he wanted to upgrade his sses, Huo Yuhao needed five tinum Upgrading Tickets, which were ''inherently'' equal to five Ex-Grade attributes or items. [After your ss reaches Divine Grade, you may condense God''s Seat with them as your foundation] [For example, Swordsman > Sword Master > Sword Grandmaster > Sword Saint > and then Sword Demi-God] "This system is easier than Spirit Master''s Cultivation System." Huo Yuhaomented, thinking how straightforward it is to use a ss System to be a God. [Is it?] [Like I stated, only you could use this system, Host] [Normal people need to umte experience and promote themselves when using ss-System] [But it''s good that you finally noticed the ss System''s usage] [Still, do you want to know the ss System''s most significant use?] "Why do I feel like you''re keeping me in suspense?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but point out. [It''s just your feeling] "My feeling in your head!" "Tsk, continue." Huo Yuhao crossed his arms. [...] [The ''greatest'' use of the ss System is allowing you to cultivate different kinds of energy and power without any sh!] Huo Yuhao raised his brows and responded casually, "Haven''t I done that countless times? I cultivate Spirit Energy, Mental Power, Blood Energy, Demonic Power, Light Energy, Nature Energy, Devil Force, etc." [Are you sure?] Evo questioned back. [What you did is simply forcing your way to those energies and powers] [When you use a ss System, all those powerse with numerical values and qualities. Each needs profound management if you want to build God''s Seats based on your current sses] [If you don''t trust me, I can issue a quest] Evo added finally. "I know you would do this..." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. [Ding! You have triggered a quest] [Name: Master ss Systems] [Objectives: Learn more about your ss(0/6), Upgrade your ss to Divine Grade(1/6), and Master six sses'' path(0/6)] [Reward: 1x The Bearer of Waves'' Legend Book, and 6x Ancient Legacy] [Time Limit: One year] [Penalty: ss System sealed for an indefinite period] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] "..." Huo Yuhao''s eyelids twitched. Aren''t you just challenging me? Ha, who do you think I am? Huo Yuhao pressed the ''yes'' button and said, "Evo, convert my Upgrading Tickets." [Okay] [Converting...] [Upgrading Tickets: Silver(9), Gold(9), ck Gold(7), tinum(9), Amethyst(2)] "Upgrade my Master-Grade sses to Divine Grade." [Ding!] [You have used five tinum Upgrading Tickets to upgrade Dawn Bringer, Dark Avenger, Dragonborn Crusader, Silver Ranger, and Techno Master sses] [Upgrading...] [Dawn Bringer has upgraded to ''Abyssal Reaper'' ss] [Dark Avenger has upgraded to ''Netherworld''s Avenger'' ss] [Dragonborn Crusader has upgraded to ''Monk of Resistance'' ss] [Silver Ranger has upgraded to ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss] [Techno Master has upgraded to ''Techno Archon'' ss] [Ding! You have finished a part of your quest] Huo Yuhao reviewed each ss and mumbled, "I see... No wonder each of these needs tinum Upgrading ss." "Well, what ss should I familiarize myself with first?" He thought about it deeply and decided to choose randomly. His finger hovered in the air as he clicked one of the system interfaces. [Ding! You have equipped ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss] Huo Yuhao smiled and opened his eyes, "It''s time to be an Archer with my overpowered eyes." ... At the same time, a blue bird is flying in the gap of a higher dimension. It searched for the disturbance that caused an influx in the Omniversal Order a while ago and discovered it in the 6th Tier Universe. Even then, the location is vague. "The new Radiant Epoch has awakened." "But how?" "Why didn''t I notice this earlier?" "Please stop right there. Oh great, Omniversal Will." A woman in a white dress who looks like a literal ''enchanting goddess'' appears in the gap of dimension. The blue bird turned around and frowned, "It''s you!" "You messed with the order!" The woman smiled and replied, "I didn''t. Check the record, and you will find that I never messed with the order." "Not directly, that is..." The blue bird criticized her. "One of your lower incarnations adopted and raised him when he was young." "Hmph! Who would have thought a proud existence like you would get affected by your lower incarnation''s experience..." "Haha, even someone like me has feelings, you know~?" The goddess giggled in response. The blue bird snorted, "I will let you away this time. If you did disturb the order again..." "Okay, okay, you don''t have to threaten me." The woman waved her slender hand casually. "Remember, Lady of Star Weavers... Your decision might lead to your own demise. I''m saying this as your only friend in the Omniversal Order." The blue bird leaped and disappeared into the void. "How rude." The woman pouted. "I have other friends too..." She sighed and stared at the distance, seeing a blue-haired young man sitting on his bed. She smiled in mncholy, "Putra." "My son... I hope you''re doing well there because Mother couldn''t be on your side until Skyfall." The woman stared at the blue-haired young man for ast time before disappearing into the void. Chapter 246: Mastering Moons Piercer Class (1) Chapter 246: Mastering Moon''s Piercer ss (1) --- Chapter 243 --- [ss: Moon''s Piercer] [Type: Marksman(Archer''s Origin)] [Grade: Divine] [Description: Once upon a time, a moonlit cmity descended on the ancient world. Countless warriors gathered to prevent the catastrophe, but only one man could pierce the Moon. The Moon''s Piercer was born due to a Marksman''s desire to end the world''s suffering. Unleashing a shot that ends and starts a new era!] ... Three dayster. In an artificial forest near the Shrek Academy, countless students ran with panicked expressions on their faces. The sound of sound-splitting arrows permeated the sky, raining on the ground above. "Fuck, shit, motherfucker!" A collective curse filled the area. They are from the students who couldn''t dodge the arrows and groaned in pain. Although the arrow appeared menacing, it was non-lethal and made of illusion. However, the illusion felt so real because the impact left behind still affected them. Zhou Yi, the monster teacher of Outer Court, stared at this sight with a calm expression on her face. Even then, the chill and fright in her heart betrayed her self-fortitude. She looked down and saw a blue-haired youth standing with a three-meter hunting bow in his hand. The hunting bow doesn''t appear to be a Martial Soul or even a powerful Soul Guidance Tool, but the might it released was terrifying! Huo Yuhao''s bow is weird as if it was an artifact to hunt giant objects or demonic creatures down. Of course, that''s not the only weird thing about it. The way Huo Yuhao handled the hunting bow is like part of his body. So, when he pulled the bowstrings and ced the arrow on it, the action was smooth and quick. There is no dy at all. Huo Yuhao breathed in and locked the ground with his menacing blue eyes, firing arrows three times. Yet these three arrows split the air and created homing missile sounds. BOOOOM! [Ding! You have used ''urate Shot'' and ''Triple Shot'' Skills] [''Homing Arrow'' Skill is born] [Ding! You have maintained a great amount of concentration] [''Mental Mastery'' and ''Physical Mastery'' Skills have leveled up!] [Mental Mastery and Physical Mastery (9/10)] Silverlight auraes off Huo Yuhao''s body, dancing around him like flowing water. He ignored the aura and heard another notification in his head. [Ding! You have condensed a sufficient amount of Silverlight Energy] [''Silverlight Energy'' has leveled up] [Silverlight Energy (7/10)] [Silverlight Energy is the energy that came off the Moon when a demonic phenomenon happened. It powered the Moon''s Piercer and gave anyone who wielded it immense control over Moonlight] [Ding! You have converted a sufficient amount of Silverlight Energy into Silverlight Force] [''Silverlight Force'' has leveled up] [Silverlight Force (6/15)] [Silverlight Force is the secret power of Moon''s Piercer. It allowed Moon''s Piercer to enter a state of great focus, enhancing every attack with immense power and powerful pration effect] Huo Yuhao raised his brows and sensed some figures charging toward his location. He smiled and drew his bowstrings, firing Silverlight Energy to these people. [You have executed ''Silverlight Break''] BOOM! Zhou Yi crossed her arms and felt a shockwave wash her face. She blinked in awe as she saw three of her students standing before Huo Yuhao with shabby appearances. Although mud and small sticks covered their bodies, Zhou Yi could recognize them quickly. Xiao Xiao. Wang Dong. And finally, Dai Huabin. "These three..." Zhou Yi frowned because, among her disciples, these three youths were indeed exceptional. However, their status also gives her a headache sometimes. Xiao Xiao is the sole heiress of Thousand Breads Merchant. Considering her origin, it was a surprise that she was such a talented Spirit Master. Wang Dong is probably an inheritor from an ancient n, considering her other martial soul is Clear Sky Hammer. And Dai Huabin is also the same. He''s from White Tiger Duke''s Mansion, whose descendants always inherited White Tiger''s martial soul. Unfortunately, the White Tiger Duke''s Mansion has declined in the past six years. They have experienced bankruptcy a few times already, and no one knows why this happened. Because of this streak of unluckiness, Dai Huabin and his older brother cannot study properly at the Shrek Academy. They had to depend on themselves and sometimes do dangerous missions like escorting someone to the Star Doy Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts or gather rare resources like medicinal herbs. If Zhou Yi knew Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin were half-brothers, she would be more surprised. But to be fair, their blood rtion stopped interestingly as Huo Yuhao''s current bloodline is far from other White Tiger n members. It''s likeparing a mighty, divine white tiger to a stray cat. Huo Yuhao stared at Xiao Xiao and Wang Dang amusingly, "You two be pretty good at dodging." "We are also good at attacking!" Wang Dong suddenly jumped forward, pping her butterfly goddess''s wings at him. Huo Yuhao smiled and dodged with swift backsteps, allowing Xiao Xiao and Dai Huabin to attack him. "Attack him, kitty cat!" Xiao Xiao summoned her three-lives cauldron and activated spirit skills to suppress Huo Yuhao''s strength. Dai Huabin''s upper body transformed into that of a tiger, and he roared in annoyance, "Don''t call me KITTY CAT!" Huo Yuhao jumped and ced an arrow on the bowstrings, aiming at Dai Huabin. The white tiger boy kept charging forward and waved his sharp ws. [You have executed ''Repelling Shot''] "What-!" Dai Huabin groaned as a bright light filled his vision. He was lucky Huo Yuhao held back, or he would be blind for a while. BAM! Dai Huabin felt a heavy kick on his chest. He got sent flying away. Huo Yuhao appeared behind Wang Dong and pulled his bow, firing an arrow at nk range. Wang Dong tried to defend herself by forming a shield with her butterfly goddess''s wings, but Huo Yuhao read her like a book. The arrow released from bowstrings and had this sharp Silverlight Force covering its tip. "Yuhao, you bastard-!" Wang Dong realized the arrow could break her defense quickly. Before she could curse at Huo Yuhao, he disappeared and went to Xiao Xiao''s side. Wang Dong''s mouth twitched as the arrow prated her butterfly wing and knocked her off. Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao faced each other on a in hill. Someone with a bow would be in a horrible position in a simr situation, but Xiao Xiao didn''t think so. We are talking about Huo Yuhao here. Nothing about him screams disadvantage, even if they surround him with hundreds of people. Xiao Xiao unsummoned her three-lives cauldrons and brought out a green-colored flute. "Nine Phoenix Dancing Flute." She yed the flute without further ado, causing the air in the surroundings to tremble violently. An image of a green phoenix appeared and pped its wings to charge at Huo Yuhao. A majestic phoenix cry echoed in the forest and hill, allowing other students to pinpoint Xiao Xiao''s location. "Phoenix Seal, I curse you for not being able to use your right arm for the next thirty seconds." Xiao Xiao said as a ck spirit ring rose from her back. Huo Yuhao felt his right hand be numb all of a sudden and dropped his hunting bow. Of course, he didn''t let the bow touch the ground and swiftly grabbed it with his other hand. Xiao Xiao giggled and said, "Hehe, it''s our victory finally. You can''t use a bow with one hand." "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao sensed several presences surrounding him from all directions. He stomped the ground and rose to the sky,ughing as this was an enjoyable scenario. Xiao Xiao watched Huo Yuhao step on the bow with his right leg in mid-air and pull the bowstrings with his free hand. Her green eyes widened in disbelief. "EVERYONE, RUN!" [You have executed ''Moonlight Showers!''] Huo Yuhao''s bow let out a silver light as the rain made of Silverlight Force descended continuously for the next five seconds. He knocked everyone off, except one survived. Xiao Xiao hid behind five boulders, believing Huo Yuhao couldn''t attack through five thickyers of defense. Unfortunately for her, Huo Yuhao can. Huo Yuhao felt the curse on his right hand was off and ced an arrow on his bowstrings. He pulled the bowstrings and caused his muscles to flex slightly. His blue eyes locked on the girl behind five thick boulders. [You have executed ''Power Shot'' and ''Tracking Arrow'' Skills] [Prating Arrow V.1 is born] SWOOOSH! Huo Yuhao''s hand released the bowstrings. The arrow left and charged at the boulder with immense power, breaking one boulder after another. Xiao Xiao sighed in relief but felt something horrific was about to happen to her butt. "Oh, no. You don''t!" She was about to activate her defensive skill when an arrow broke through thest boulder and hit her butt. "KYAAAA~!" A moan echoed in the area, and Xiao Xiao fell out of surprise. ... Not far away, Huo Yuhaonded at the top of a tree. "Nice." Tian Meng pped her hands. "Amazing! I shall name that attack, BOOTY SHOT!" Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Don''t give my attack a weird name." "Oh, well... Wielding a bow and arrow is not as bad as I thought." Chapter 247: Mastering Moons Piercer Class (2) Chapter 247: Mastering Moon''s Piercer ss (2) --- Chapter 244 --- Zhou Yi stared at her students with twitching mouths and brows. She knew they weren''t Huo Yuhao''s opponents, even with overwhelming numbers, but they had been doing worse for the past three days. Yes, Huo Yuhao sparred with them for three days. And on top of that, he never used his martial soul and spirit energy. He wiped them to the ground with pure archery powered by this weird silver-colored force Zhou Yi couldn''t understand. So far, Zhou Yi only knew it was powerful and destructive if Huo Yuhao decided to learn it to a higher degree. She couldn''t imagine how monstrous he would be in the future. Zhou Yi still has the misconception that Huo Yuhao is weaker than her and needs some guidance. Huo Yuhao stared at the hunting bow in his hand and mumbled, "It''s still too light." [Name: Ebony Arms Shrouds(EAS) - Bow''s Form] [Type: Universal Weapon - Hundred] [Grade: SSS+] [DescriptionL Ebony Arms Shroud is a Growth-type Destroyer Hundred based on [Emilia Gudenburg''s Hundred''s "Innocence"], having the same ability to copy and change into any weapon. This Hundred also possessed the unique trait "Devour" that allowed it to be stronger by devouring rare minerals and materials. It has reached the end of its growth and needs to swallow Divine Metal for further evolution into Divine Tool!] Huo Yuhao turned EAS into a ring and rubbed his chin because he had some Divine Metals in the Dragon Nest''s treasury as Xiao Chen brought them over from the Draconic Deus. The question is, could those Divine Metals meet EAS''s requirements? This Hundred of his is such a Gluttonous Fellow, after all. As if the Hundred knew Huo Yuhao was thinking bad things about it, EAS released a sudden quiver and made the blue-haired youth chuckle. ''Okay, okay, I won''t call you that anymore.'' Huo Yuhao tapped the white ring on his finger. He stretched slightly and noticed Zhou Yi''s solemn expression. "What''s with the long face, Teacher Zhou?" Zhou Yi blinked and calmed herself, "Nothing." "Do you still want to help them tomorrow? Although it looks like you were bullying them, I noticed the students improved rapidly under your guidance." "Even thest one in the ranking started to refine his instinct." "What do you think? Should I continue?" Huo Yuhao smirked and asked Zhou Yi. "The Tournament between Academies would get started in less than four weeks, which means training them more won''t get me anything besides some moving targets." "You really didn''t sugarcoat your words, huh?" Zhou Yi patted her forehead helplessly. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "I''m simply telling you the truth. Only Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong are worth teaching so far." Zhou Yi frowned and inquired, "Oh, you didn''t put Dai Huabin on that list? How weird..." Upon hearing the response, Huo Yuhao gave Zhou Yi a ''Are you serious'' look and made the stern teacher shake her head helplessly. Huo Yuhao dislikes Dai Huabin, but he doesn''t show it. The amount of torture that little shit and his jealous mother put Huo Yun''er in several years ago still makes him fume sometimes. But Huo Yuhao won''t actively bully Dai Huabin back. The amount of bad karma the white cat boy bore is high enough to end him in a miserable condition. Even though Zhou Yi doesn''t know Huo Yuhao''s past, her woman''s instinct and experience as a teacher could put things together. She ultimately sighed, "Okay..." Huo Yuhao ignored Zhou Yi''s dissatisfaction and looked far ahead where Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong fell. His attacks shouldn''t have injured them too much. In Xiao Xiao''s case, she might get a little excited. Xiao Xiao rubbed her rar and stood up with a pout. "Yuhao, that was too much! How could you p my butt like that, even though I won''t be against it if you p it somewhere private." "Something is wrong with your head." Wang Dong rubbed the dirt off her face. "My head is fine." Xiao Xiao snorted. "I don''t know about your brain, though." Wang Dong''s anger rose, "What did you say?!" Zhou Yi coldly red at them from the hill, and Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao shivered instinctively. They coughed and walked toward Huo Yuhao with this innocent look on their face. "Give them a day, they will be fine." Huo Yuhao chuckled when seeing this. Zhou Yi rolled her eyes andmented, "You don''t know, but the Sea God Pavilion has decided on the new Shrek Seven Devils." "Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong are part of the new Shrek Seven Devils." "Wait, what? We don''t know a thing about this..." Xiao Xiao couldn''t help butin. Wang Dong stared at Xiao Xiao weirdly and said, "It''s an honor to be Shrek Seven Devils. Haven''t you heard the legend about the first Shrek Seven Devils? They grew stronger and even ascended!" ''I''m not interested in legend, you dumb dumb.'' Xiao Xiao thought when seeing Wang Dong''s admiring look. Nothing is more important than her family and Huo Yuhao. She doesn''t care much about the Shrek Seven Devils'' title. "You two are Candidates." Zhou Yi gave them a stern look. "That''s why you should let me finish my words first." "Besides you two... Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Luo Xing from the Spirit Guidance Department also included." "He Caitou, Luo Xing? Never heard of them." Wang Dong said with a confused look. "Of course you don''t." Zhou Yi shook her head gently. "He Caitou and Luo Xing are the aces of the Spirit Guidance Department, and they always locked themselves in the research room." "However, don''t look down on them. What they studied in the Spirit Guidance Department is the future of the Douluo Continent." "You heard her." Huo Yuhao chuckled teasingly. "You might want to learn one or two things about technology, or you will be left behind." "Anyway, get some rest." "I will meet you two in the Dragon''s Breath Restaurant." After saying that, Huo Yuhao turned around and waved his hand. "Uugh, I''m all sticky and dirty." Xiao Xiao dragged her battered body to the dorm. But she could feel the stinging heat on her butt, which made her rather excited for the future. ''Weirdo.'' Wang Dong frowned at Xiao Xiao. ... Huo Yuhao teleported to the dorm room and checked his progress in mastering Moon''s Piercer ss. He couldn''t use the Upgrading Ticket, which is a shame, but his progress wasn''t so slow either. He''s progressing rapidly. As a clone, reaching this stage is a miracle, as he doesn''t possess the main body''s godly learning speed. He could see from a different perspective. Huo Yuhao sat on the floor and meditated. A new memory shed in his mind as the sight of a bright white moon permeated the sky. He stood on a snowy in with a bow and onest arrow in his hand, aiming at the beautiful moon. His breath caused a vapor due to the coldness, but it didn''t affect his concentration. His goal is always one thing. And that one thing is to pierce the moon! Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and smiled because the sensationsted longer than two days ago. Yes, the Moon''s Piercer ss actually kind of acts like an inheritance, but he has yet to confirm with other sses. These sses used to exist somewhere in the Omniversal Order, so the people who created it shouldn''t be ordinary. "Let''s wash up first." Huo Yuhao tossed his sweaty clothes off and walked to the shower. After a short shower, Huo Yuhao rubbed his hair with a towel and nced at the window. He saw night was about toe, and the surroundings darkened. "Giana." He called out the AI fairy in his smartwatch. "Yes, Master?" A small fairy appeared. "Can you get Xiao Chen to check whether he has Divine Metal in stock?" Giana nodded, "Okay, I will notify him about it. He locked himself in the research room with no disturb indicator on." "I see..." Huo Yuhao poked Giana''s cheek and asked her if there was any ''interesting'' news in the main base, to which the AI fairy responded no. Knock! Knock! "Yuhao, are we going to the restaurant?" Ma Xiaotao''s voicees from the outside of the room. Huo Yuhao changed into new clothes quickly and opened the door, seeing Ma Xiaotao in a red dress. The phoenixdy was ''actually'' apanied by Yang Xin(Scathach) and Qianye Ying''er. They are not the real ones, as they are also clones like him. "Let''s go." Huo Yuhao smiled at them. Chapter 248: Mastering Moons Piercer Class (3) Chapter 248: Mastering Moon''s Piercer ss (3) --- Chapter 245 --- A few minutester. Shrek City, Dragon''s Breath Restaurant. On the outskirts of Shrek City, a tall building stands near a flowing river. Red and yellownterns adorn the building, and stone dragon statues loom nearby. The restaurant looks like any other, but the weing atmosphere invites one over. Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, Qianye Ying''er, and Yang Xin(Scathach) stood before the restaurant, observing with great interest. "Hmm, not bad." Qianye Ying''ermented casually. "I''ve never gone out to Shrek City often, but there are quite a lot of things here, huh?" Ma Xiaotao scratched her cheek and exined, "Shrek City hase into existence since ten thousand years ago. In the entire continent, Shrek City is one of the biggest cities with a poption of more than two million." "The Academy is the inner part and rather quiet, but the outeryer is always busy." "Of course, the Academy governs this city with independent power that does not pay taxes to any empire. The biggest ''attraction'' of the city is the Shrek Academy, but it is also an important economic center for the three great empires and Douluo Continent." "Yeah, on this continent only..." Scathach rebuked. "Shrek Academy might have to top up a few things to keep this city going." "What do you mean?" Ma Xiaotao was puzzled. Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered for Scathach, "This citycks protection." "Senior Sister, what would happen if someone of my caliber appeared randomly and ransacked this city?" "That''s impossible..." However, before Ma Xiaotao could finish her words, she recalled Huo Yuhao''s fight with the Dragon God Douluo Mu En. She shivered at the thought of Shrek City getting destroyed by thatst attack. Ma Xiaotao''s expression bes increasingly grim. "Well, well, don''t make such a face, hehe. We are just teasing you." Huo Yuhao yfully poked Ma Xiaotao''s nose. "Let''s enter the restaurant." "Everyone should be waiting for us." Ma Xiaotao dumbly stared at Huo Yuhao and two other youngdies'' backs. "S-So, it was just a joke?" She murmured to herself. "No," Scathach nced back and responded, freezing Ma Xiaotao although she was a phoenix. "It was a bit of advice." "..." Ma Xiaotao''s eyebrows twitched. Her feeling was ''literally'' stirred and then tossed aside by these people. Ma Xiaotao could only sigh and follow them into the Dragon''s Breath Restaurant. After some thought, there is nothing wrong with their advice-! No, she preferred calling it criticism about Shrek City, but as long as Mu En is here. Everything will be fine. ''Yes, everything will be fine as long as Elder Mu is around.'' Ma Xiaotao thought confidently. But her thought process immediately noticed one fatal mistake. What if Mu En wasn''t around? The Shrek Academy has several Title Douluo, but could they defeat an enemy like Huo Yuhao? Most likely not. ''It seems she finally realized the fragileness of Shrek Academy.'' Huo Yuhao smiled a little. The Shrek Academy has grown toofortable as everyone in the Douluo Continent acknowledged it as the number one faction. The prestige was ''naturally'' built by Tang San and hispanions ten thousand years ago, but now they are no longer here. They also couldn''t interfere much with Mortal World''s affairs, or they would get a heavy fine. A waitress in a red dress greeted them, "Wee to the Dragon''s Breath Restaurant, esteemed guests. Do you have a reservation or would like to grab a seat?" "Reservation." Huo Yuhao recalled Bei Bei''s invitations. "Uh, I believe it was Luxury Room No.13?" The waitress''s brown eyes widened before smiling understandingly, "Ah, I see... Please follow me to the Luxury Room No.13." Huo Yuhao was curious why the waitress acted like this. But his curiosity was ''actually'' answered not long after. The waitress escorted them into the Dragon''s Breath Restaurant, and the hallway''s interior changed three times. Yes, three times! On top of that, they also went to the highest floor with the best view over Shrek City and part of Sea God Lake. They are going to the best room in the restaurant, which should sink substantial gold. ''That Elder Mu En, he''s quite cunning.'' Huo Yuhao and others arrived at the Luxury Room No.13. A carved mahogany wood stood before them. "Please enter." The waitress opened the door and bowed her body gracefully. "Thanks." Huo Yuhao has no qualms about this matter and casually strode in. What greeted Huo Yuhao and thedies was an open room with a long wooden table with several dishes. Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, and five more people have already seated at the corner of the table. On the right corner are a bald man and a neatly clotheddy. "Oh?" Huo Yuhao could tell that two of the three people in the left corner were Title Douluo, a middle-aged man and a ck-robed woman. Thest individual is someone Huo Yuhao could consider a mature older sister with a cold personality. The mature senior sister has fair skin, long ck hair, and eyes. She wore a professional ck suit and skirt. Her body is tall and well-endowed, but her purple coat covers those juicy assets to appear more modest. She sensed Huo Yuhao''s gaze and stared at him silently. After a while, she gives him a nod and focuses on the scenery outside. ''Interesting...'' Huo Yuhao smirked inwardly. Something about this woman attracted him. [Name: Zhang Lexuan] [Race: Human] [Age: 20] [Martial Soul: Moon(+)] [Cultivation Realm: Rank 80, Soul Sage] [Description: The disciple of the Dragon God Douluo''s Mu En. She''s very respectful toward her teacher and would do anything to pay him back] Huo Yuhao raised his brows slightly. Zhang Lexuan''s status page is superb for someone not from the Dragon Nest, as expected of Mu En''s Disciple. Not to mention, Zhang Lexuan''s Martial Soul piques his interest. As the possessor of Moon''s Piercer ss, Huo Yuhai finally understood why Zhang Lexuan attracted him so much. His [Silverlight Force] is literally boiling in his body. "Ah, you finallye!" Wang Dong said in annoyance. Huo Yuhao smiled, "What''s the matter? Can''t wait for this little me?" Wang Dong gnashed her teeth and swayed her head, "Hmph." "Sit down, junior. Let''s have some food and drinks before discussing the ongoing topic." One of the elders suddenly said. It was a middle-aged man. [Name: Xuan Zi] [Race: Human] [Age: 235] [Martial Soul: Godly Taotie Bull(+)] [Cultivation: Rank 98, Hyper Douluo] [Description: He''s a disciple of Mu En. Also, a man who longed for the final step and the glutton of delicacy] "Sure." Huo Yuhao responded after briefly reading Xuan Zi''s status page, taking his seat. He nced at the other elder and discovered yet another amusing status page. [Name: Song Yunzhi] [Race: Human] [Age: 200] [Martial Soul: Greenshadow Godly Hawk(+)] [Cultivation: Rank 97, Super Douluo] [Description: An elder of the Sea God Pavilion. She''s also a person who has lived peacefully for years, appreciating the nature of the world more] Cough! Cough! Bei Bei cleared his throat as he watched Huo Yuhao and the threedies sitting down. "Wee everyone to this dinner." He said with a calm voice. "We gather here to celebrate our new roles. The new Seven Shrek Devils!" "Cheers!" He raised his ss. "Cheers~!" Everyone responded, even the elders joined by raising their wine cups. However, as they enjoyed food and drinks, Huo Yuhao noticed the gazes of Shrek Academy''s people were ''suddenly'' pointed at him. "Uh, what?" He asked while stuffing his mouth with premium-quality roasted beef. "Tsk, I should have known better There is no such a thing as a free meal, well dinner in this case." He sighed and nced at Xuan Zi, "Elder, say it." Xuan Zi chuckled awkwardly and responded, "It''s nothing serious..." "Since the new Seven Shrek Devils appointed. We, the representatives of Shrek Academy, would like to purchase a service from the Dragon Nest." "We are willing to pay..." "Pay for what exactly?" Huo Yuhao gazed at them. Bei Bei and others sheepishly looked away. Well, except for Tang Ya. This young woman has no shame. "Yuhao, please train us~!" Tang Ya said with sparkling cat-like eyes, which reminded Huo Yuhao of a certain ck-haired Nekoshou. "..." Huo Yuhao stopped chewing. [Ding! You have triggered a quest!] Chapter 249: Mastering Moons Piercer Class (4) Chapter 249: Mastering Moon''s Piercer ss (4) --- Chapter 246 --- [Ding! You have triggered a quest!] [Helping Your Competitors] [Objective: Assist the Shrek Academy in training the new Shrek Seven Devils(0/7)] [Failure: None] [Time Limit: Two Weeks] [Reward: Shrek Academy''s Strategic Resources, Shrek Academy''s Max Affinity, Tang Sect''s Secret Map] [Do you want to ept the quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao briefly nced at the quest page, frowning at the first andst rewards. He doesn''t care much about Shrek Academy''s Max Affection, but a strategic resource is something a faction wouldn''t share with outsiders. On top of that, there is also the Tang Sect''s secret map. Huo Yuhao could already guess this map has something to do with the Medicinal Garden left behind by Tang San. But Huo Yuhao knew that he couldn''t ept immediately. As the leader of the Dragon, he must squeeze Shrek Academy and possibly Tang Sect dry first. He finished his beef and washed it down with a ss of water. He rubbed his forehead and stared at Xuan Zi, "You realize this was no different than helping my opponent, right?" "Why would I help my enemy, knowing the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Tournament will get held soon? It''s no different than raising dogs and then getting bitten on the asster." "..." Xuan Zi. He also couldn''t understand Mu En''s decision. As the Sea God Pavilion''s master, Mu En is the wisest person Xuan Zi has known his entire life. Yet the same person instructed him to ask-! No, if necessary, beg Huo Yuhao to raise this new batch of Seven Shrek Devils. It was mind-boggling. Xuan Zi knew there must be a reason behind this matter. After all, Mu En suddenly regained his strength and vitality. Such a tremendous change has something to do with the blue-haired youth before him. Unknown to Xuan Zi, even a wise Mu En couldn''t bear to tell his disciples about a spar between Huo Yuhao and himself. The oue is too shocking if more people know. In short, Xuan Zi doesn''t know the extent of Huo Yuhao''s power. He only saw the blue-haired youth as a talented fellow from the Dragon Nest. Xuan Zi sighed and replied, "Shrek Academy is willing to pay more." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "It''s not about the price..." "Don''t you guys, Shrek Academy, have pride as the number one institution on the Douluo Continent? Yeah, you heard that right. Aren''t you guys the best in this field?" Huo Yuhao''s words struck deep in everyone''s hearts. Yes, he was right. The Shrek Academy is indeed the best academy on the Douluo Continent, and they have the foundation to back it up. However, the world changed too freaking fast! All due to Huo Yuhao changed its course and built the Dragon Nest, affecting the Douluo Continent or pretty much the world. Well, Huo Yuhao won''t mention that to these people. Wang Dong huffed and red at Huo Yuhao, "But you trained us already, didn''t you? Have you forgotten that Teacher Zhou''s ss was ''literally'' taught by you in thest three days?" "What did I teach exactly? I saw you no different than a moving target for my arrow." Huo Yuhao countered casually. "Y-You!" Wang Dong was speechless. How shameless can one be? Qianye Ying''er and Scathach watched this little drama with interest. They didn''t know what Huo Yuhao was nning. ''What do you think he''s doing?'' Scathach asked Qianye Ying''er. ''I don''t know.'' Qianye Ying''er responded. ''From what I''ve seen in the past months, nothing in the Shrek Academy could pique Huo Yuhao''s interest.'' ''Well, except one...'' ''What''s it?'' ''Beauties!'' Scathach choked on her wine and nced at Qianye Ying''er weirdly. But as she thought it through, the golden-hairedss had a point. What other things could attract Huo Yuhao than girls? Huo Yuhao''s harem is so massive from conquering Draconic Deus and one more Universe, but he''s still catching new girls like they were pets now. Weirdly, Scathach didn''t think it was strange, nor was she jealous. She and others literally needed help to defeat Huo Yuhao on the bed. So, more help is appreciated. Scathach wiped her mouth with a napkin and scanned the room with a watchful gaze. She ignored Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao because they were guaranteed to be part of the harem sooner orter. There are only fourdies who can be considered single in this room. One is cross-dressing as a boy. One is someone Scathach has never seen in the group. One is actually decently old, being 200 years old. And thest is this aloof-looking fellow. ''Hmm, which one caught Huo Yuhao''s attention?'' Just like Scathach, Qianye Ying''er also spotted the creams of the crop. They eliminated thedies one after another, leading to Zhang Lexuan. Likewise, one of the Shrek Academy''s elders also observed Huo Yuhao when he entered this room. Song Yunzhi is a calm and collected woman who has lived for 200 years. Her daughter was also a Title Douluo and worked as the Vice-Dean of the Spirit Guidance Tool Department. ''The way he walks, eats, and speaks exudes utter confidence. He wasn''t afraid of Title Douluo, as if they weren''t threats to him.'' Song Yunzhi sipped her tea, peeking at the window. ''Xuan Zi, This boy is either a fool or someone with deep experience despite being in a young category.'' ''It''s thetter.'' Xuan Zi let out a sigh. A fool wouldn''t act like this before a Title Douluo. After all, it''s no different than courting death. Xuan Zi frowned and finally opened his mouth, "We, Shrek Academy, do have pride. However, we are also willing to admit our weakness when nurturing talents like the Dragon Nest." "I mean... Never in 10,000 years of Shrek Academy''s history, I''ve seen someone with ridiculous Spirit Ring configurations like you guys. You must have experimented hard, attempting trial and error countless times, to discover such a method." "For example, Ma Xiaotao. Her strength and Spirit Ring''s configuration were normal or could say up to Shrek Academy''s standards, until you helped her fix the Martial Soul''s problem, allowing her to start anew." "She now has six ck Spirit Rings, and such a case is abnormal no matter how one sees it. From history, people who experienced this miraculous metamorphosis could be a GOD!" "So, you wanted me to raise Gods now? Wow, how great." Huo Yuhao chuckled helplessly. "That''s not what I mean-!" Xuan Zi wanted to fix his words, but Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his hand. Huo Yuhao raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Lexuan, "I will assist you in tempering the new Shrek Seven Devils, but that older sister right there should be my personal assistant." ''I knew it.'' Scathach and Qianye Ying''er nced at each other again. "You bastard, so you''re eyeing Senior Zhang from the beginning!" Wang Dong couldn''t help but be angry at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao shrugged and responded, "I don''t know what you are talking about. I have no idea who she was. I only find this older sister interesting after talking with elders, that''s it." ''That''s a lie.'' Everyone thought while looking at Huo Yuhao''s thick-skinned face. Zhang Lexuan didn''t show much emotion when Huo Yuhao added her to the use. Mu En(her teacher) was urate that Huo Yuhao would find her existence interesting. To put it in perspective, Zhang Lexuan is the most gifted person Mu En ever found. She possessed a rare constitution and tool-type Martial Soul, Moon, allowing her to reach a Soul Sage upon reaching twenty years of age. Although Zhang Lexuan didn''t express it, she prided herself on reaching this far and being thankful for Mu En''s teaching. "Very well, I agree with your condition." Zhang Lexuan parted her red lips. "Lexuan, this is..." Xuan Zi and Song Yunzhi were surprised. Zhang Lexuan put on a calm look and replied, "Since I was part of the use for Huo Yuhao to us, I have a say in this conversation..." Xuan Zi bitterly shook his head, "You heard her." "Fantastic." Huo Yuhao pped his hands. "We will start tomorrow morning." He gazed at Zhang Lexuan and added, "Please take care of me well, Senior Zhang." "Mm." Zhang Lexuan nodded casually. Everyone looked at their exchanges with a wide range of emotions. Bei Bei, in particr, hasplicated feelings surge in his chest. It was a secret, but Zhang Lexuan is actually engaged to him. It''s the arrangement of Mu En. ''Maybe this is for the best. I couldn''t see Sister Lexuan more than a sister.'' Bei Bei thought earnestly. He only has feelings for one person, and that''s Tang Ya. [Ding! You have epted the quest] "Well, let''s enjoy the feast, everyone!" Huo Yuhao took this chance to change the heavy mood. He felt great because Zhang Lexuan might help him master the Moon''s Piercer ss. ... One weekter. The Shrek Seven Devils sprawled on the ground. Their bodies were ''''thoroughly battered with sweat, mud, and blood all over. They felt like shit. And on the verge of dying. "Come on, if you want to grow stronger... Give it your all!" Huo Yuhao sat at the top of a boulder. Zhang Lexuan stood beside Huo Yuhao, holding a tray of fresh beverages and fruits. Huo Yuhao stretched his hand, and Zhang Lexuan thoughtfully handed him a drink. "Wang Dong, move your ass and start running!" He said while sipping his drink. ''This monster...'' The Shrek Seven Devils clenched their hands. For one week, Huo Yuhao abused them physically and mentally. He had no mercy for them, breaking them apart like puzzles andpiling them into a new person by throwing all the useless stuff. They achieved an ''explosive'' improvement, but Huo Yuhao was too much. Right now, he''s purposely drinking such a delicious and cooling drink in front of us! "F-Fuck you!" They flipped their middle fingers at him hatefully. Huo Yuhao smirked, "Keke, hate me more, you mongrels! Use that hate for something more productive, and I guarantee you an upgrade no one expected." "Do fifty moreps!" After hearing Huo Yuhao''s words, the new Shrek Seven Devils gritted their teeth and ran on the obstacle course again! The course included several terrains, deadly traps, and many others. They have experienced life-and-death situations many times, losing limbs one way or another. But this blue-haired devil healed those injuries and threw them back into the course. And no, it''s not your typicalfortable healing. Huo Yuhao threw them into a healing solution bath, which regenerated their cells and unearthed their potential while cleansing impurities in their bodies. If the new Shrek Seven Devils had to describe the healing solution in one word, they would call it HELL! Huo Yuhao finished his drink and nced at Zhang Lexuan, "Well, Senior Zhang, it''s time for our personal training." "O-Okay..." Zhang Lexuan rarely showed her emotion, but Huo Yuhao''s words caused such a change. One could see a faint redness on her cheeks. Looking at this, one might wonder suspiciously what their ''personal'' training was. Chapter 250: Mastering Moons Piercer Class (Final) Chapter 250: Mastering Moon''s Piercer ss (Final) --- Chapter 247 --- Mm~! An indecent-sounding voice reverberated atop a cliff. It was enough to make one question what people were doing in the area. A maiden is blushing meekly. She was being hugged by a handsome blue-haired young man, feeling her body warmed up by his forceful tactic. She shivered every now and then but didn''t reject the blue-haired young man''s advance. Her breathing became heavier and erratic as the young man''s irresistible pheromone broke her aloof persona. Although they didn''t do anything sexual, the maiden couldn''t help but feel dirty upon imagining dirty things with her junior. They are currently training their Unorthodox Spirit Fusion. [Ding! You have absorbed Zhang Lexuan''s Pure Moon Essence] "And done." Huo Yuhao''s yful voice brushed Zhang Lexuan''s ears. "Senior sister, you can stand up now." Zhang Lexuan bit her lips, "I can''t." "Eh?" "M-My legs are weak." Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened as he chuckled in amusement. Girl, we are just cuddling and nothing more. What do you mean by your legs were weak? I only hugged you a little tighter than usual. Unfortunately, Zhang Lexuan hasn''t experienced Huo Yuhao''s Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art. If he does so, he will be a true Moon''s Piercer! [Ding! The ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss has be stronger] [Silverlight''s Intent is forming...] [Moon''s Piecer''s Might is condensed...] [You have mastered 90% of the ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss] After one week of absorbing Zhang Lexuan''s Pure Moon Essence, Huo Yuhao''s Moon''s Piercer ss bes stronger. He could feel the faint line between himself and the final stage grow thinner. His Silverlight Energy and Force reached the maximum level, one hundred caps. All he needed to do next was to step into the new realm, forming a domain of Moon''s Piercer. However, Huo Yuhao mustprehend Silverlight''s Intent and Moon''s Piercer''s Might to do that. It wasn''t hard because Huo Yuhao had monstrous learning capabilities thanks to the Divine Throne of Beginning and End. Still, the Moon''s Piercer ss is a Divine-grade ss at the end of the day. As time passes, Huo Yuhao also bes closer to Zhang Lexuan. She was a person of few words but surprisingly excellent to cooperate with. Huo Yuhao poked Zhang Lexuan''s nose and said, "Senior Sister, you should rest first." "O-Okay." Since Zhang Lexuan couldn''t stand, she naturally sat and meditated instead. Of course, Huo Yuhao isn''t the only one who reaped a jackpot from this daily cuddling session. After Huo Yuhao depleted Zhang Lexuan''s Pure Moon Essence, her spirit energy sublimed and became purer. It''s another form of cultivation, and Zhang Lexuan could feel her strength rapidly grow. On top of that, Zhang Lexuan''s Martial Soul, the Moon, showed a sign of a second awakening! Huo Yuhao observed Zhang Lexuan for a bit and smiled because she had the attitude and talent to be a top powerhouse. Although the Shrek Academy isckingpared to the Dragon Nest Academy, Zhang Lexuan still could enjoy rich resources. She''s, after all, the disciple of Dragon God Douluo, Mu En. It would be weird if she couldn''t reach Soul Douluo Realm soon. Maybe today, she would experience a breakthrough. "Let''s see..." Huo Yuhao checked his quest panel and noticed the progress was increasing. "The new Shrek Seven Devils are doing fine. He Caitou and Luo Xing performed nicely, as expected from aces of the Spirit Guidance Tool Department." "At this pace, each of them will break through... At the very least, their coordination will be solid." "Hehe, Shishou''s Training Method is always effective." He chuckled, enjoying the misery of others. ''You really abused them, huh? Poor kids, tasting hell earlier than they should have been.'' Tian Meng suddenly appeared in her ghostly form. ''So, do you find a way to advance your Moon''s Piercer ss?'' Huo Yuhao gave Tian Meng a smug look, "Yes." "But I have to make sure first." "The essence of Moon''s Piercer is the archer''s deep desire to pierce a distant moon. I can destroy the one in the sky, but that would be disastrous on many levels." ''Haha,'' Tian Meng put on a funny look. ''Don''t tell me you wanted to make a second moon or something?'' "..." Huo Yuhao awkwardly scratched his cheek. ''No fucking way! You really wanted to make a second moon and blow it up? Your degree in ridiculousness has increased so much after returning from that god-forsaken world.'' Tian Meng couldn''t help but reprimand Huo Yuhao. She has this stern, teacher-like expression. Eluxia, Bing Di, and Helena frowned at Tian Meng, ''Why did you act so wise when the thing you did all day was sleeping?'' Tian Meng felt the peer pressure and coughed, ''Well, I''m not telling you to stop.'' "Sure." Huo Yuhao''s lips twitched. He sighed in helplessness and stared into the distance, seeing the sun''s reflection on the Sea God Lake. It creates an image that there are two suns in this world. ''Hold up, this might work...'' However, Huo Yuhao''s excitement didn''tst long. Reflection is nothing but a mirage. It has no substance. ''I can make the mirage real with Heavenly Dao of Myriad Shape, but why did I feel it was a wrong move?'' He pondered for a second. "A-Are you okay?" A sweet voicees behind Huo Yuhao. "Ah!" Huo Yuhao quickly turned around and grasped Zhang Lexuan''s hand, making her yelp in surprise. "That''s it! Senior Sister, I need you!" "You''re the one I need the most right now!" ''Oy, your words are misleading the poor girl.'' Tian Meng stared at Zhang Lexuan''s blooming red face. But Huo Yuhao ignored her remarks. Zhang Lexuan was panicking inside. Her innocent maiden''s heart couldn''t handle Huo Yuhao''s passionate words. She hasn''t had any rtionship with boys, except Bei Bei, who only sees her as an older sister figure. So, Huo Yuhao was really the first person who shook her heart this much, which led her to ask this question. "R-Really?" Huo Yuhao''s strong handnded on Zhang Lexuan''s shoulders, "Yes." "You''re the only one, Senior Sister!" "I-I..." Zhang Lexuan was short-circuited. She didn''t know how to respond back. ''Oh boy.'' Tian Meng and other Soul Spirits were speechless. Yup, Huo Yuhao is a natural yboy. ... Huo Yuhao told Zhang Lexuan about his n, and she immediately followed it. Zhang Lexuan was still embarrassed because she misunderstood Huo Yuhao''s intention, but who could she me it on? That moment when Huo Yuhao confessed to her felt like an eternity. An eternity that a maiden like her wish never ends. The sun gradually went down, and a beautiful full moon appeared in the night sky. Zhang Lexuan floated above the Sea God Lake, wearing a pure white dress. She pressed her hand against her chest, feeling her little heart about to explode from excitement. If Huo Yuhao''s experiment seeds, Zhang Lexuan''s Martial Soul will experience a second awakening. Weirdly, Zhang Lexuan was excited about something else. Her calm, serene ck eyes rippled upon seeing a handsome figure in the sky. Huo Yuhao wore a in white robe and coat, yet he looked like a celestial being from another dimension. ''I trust you, Yuhao...'' Zhang Lexuan bit her lips. From afar, the elders and the Pavillion Master of Sea God Pavillion watched over Huo Yuhao. "Do you think this crazy experiment will seed?" An elder couldn''t help but ask. Yan Shaozhe sighed, "If it''s any other person, I would say no. But we are talking about Huo Yuhao here." "He is-! He was a monster of his own and bound to create a miracle one way or another." He added slowly, fixing some parts as he was about to expose the ''little'' spar between Huo Yuhao and Mu En. Mu En smiled slightly, "He would be fine." "That young man is the sign that our world is changing. He''s the pioneer of this generation..." Thud! Thud! The sound of water droplets echoed in the silent Sea God Lake. Zheng Lexuan breathed in and summoned the True Body of her Martial Soul. Six ck and one red spirit rings rose, signifying Zhang Lexuan''s peak cultivation base of Soul Sage. A bright white glow exploded from her body, materializing into a beautiful, round moon. As Zhang Lexuan transformed into a moon, Huo Yuhao drew his bow and pulled the bowstrings calmly. He has only Zhang Lexuan in his vision. In fact, Huo Yuhao was so focused that his Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao dted to the extreme, washing theke with strong mental power. It was so strong that Mu En and the elders stepped back instinctively upon sensing the mental power. [Ding! You have charged an ultimate attack of Moon''s Piercer] [You have executed... Sacrificial Arrow] Huo Yuhao let out the bowstrings with a gentle tug and released the invisible arrow. The arrow rotated in the air, creating this sorrowful whistle. Zhang Lexuan felt her heart tighten in dread but rxed upon seeing Huo Yuhao''s calm blue eyes. She smiled inside Martial Soul''s True Body and let the arrow pierce her. Puchi! CRACK! The moon was ''swiftly'' pierced, crumbling into pieces. Cough! Zhang Lexuan''splexion drastically paled as she coughed a mouthful of blood from the Martial Soul''s True Body''s bacsh. She used all her will not to faint, or else she would be a goner. Miraculously, Huo Yuhao''s arrow also pierced the moon''s reflection on the Sea God Lake and created a significant hole. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! A pir of water rose, but everyone instinctively lifted their heads. Everyone on this side of the collectively looked at the moon and saw it get blown into an arc like a massive object just hit it. Of course, it only happened in a few blinks of an eye before the moon returned to its full glory. It felt like an illusion, but everyone knew it was real. SHING! The moon released bubbly white light and transmitted it to the Shrek Academy. Sensing the pure spirit energy from the bubbly white light, Mu En, and the elders were shaken to their core. "Everyone, cultivate now!" Mu En''s solemn voice echoed to everyone in the Shrek Academy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan were ''exclusively'' baptized by the ancient moon. This primordial force exists beyond the scope of Douluo Dalu Universe, but Huo Yuhao sessfully triggered it with his experiment and overpowered luck. [Ding! You have mastered the ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss] Chapter 251: Senior Zhang Lexuan Confessed! Yuhao, Please be my... Chapter 251: Senior Zhang Lexuan Confessed! Yuhao, Please be my... --- Chapter 248 --- Huo Yuhao slowly closed his eyes and felt the primordial force baptizing him. Although he was only a clone, the ''real'' body also experienced this sudden change due to their direct connection. Of course, the ''real'' body experienced an imperfect baptism because the primordial force of the moon was ''literally'' stored in the clone''s body. He needed to cancel the clone technique and fully activate it. [You have constructed the early stage of ''Silverlight Domain''] Evo''s monotonous voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s mind. [You haveprehended the ''Divine Might of Moon''s Piercer''] [Do you want to unlock Moon''s Piercer Legacy Past?] ''Yes.'' Huo Yuhao agreed without hesitation. He only saw a glimpse of the event in the past week, so he was somewhat excited to learn the history of Moon''s Piercer. Huo Yuhao''s mind drifted into a dream-like state. He stood atop a snowy in, hugging an unknown woman. He was confused for a second but quickly realized that the woman''s features were terrifyingly simr to Zhang Lexuan''s. It can''t be a coincidence. He recalled the backstory of Moon''s Piercer from the ss''s description and frowned. His temporal body moved, and countless monsters abruptly surrounded him and the woman. As Huo Yuhao fought with his bare hands, he killed many monsters and littered the snowy in with red. He dragged his battered body, feeling the woman in his embrace breathe heavily. Her body temperature was very low, but he knew she was still alive. Atst, Huo Yuhao and the woman arrived at a mountain peak. Tears trickled from Huo Yuhao''s-! No, tears flowed from the Moon''s Piercer''s eyes as he let go of the woman. The woman slowly walked and smiled at him. She stood on the mountain top and opened her arms while her back faced the bright moon. Her mouth opened, seemingly uttering something to Huo Yuhao. "Okay..." Huo Yuhao felt his blood boil in sadness and summoned a bow from thin air. It was a bow made of ancient wood and bowstrings refined from dyingrade''s tendons. He also summoned an arrow, aiming it toward the woman. The woman closed her eyes and let Huo Yuhao shoot her. Swoosh! The arrow sessfully hit the woman''s chest and consecutively pierced the moon behind her. After that, the moonlit cmity crumbled, finalizing the end of the era of monsters. Lives were ''bravely'' sacrificed to destroy the source of this apocalypse, leaving a lonely archer atop a snowy mountain. "RAAAAAAARRGGHHHH!" A rageful yet sad scream echoed. "Since heaven is not fair, I will make it fair!" A Moon''s Piercer was born. That day, an archer transformed into Moon''s Piercer. And his name is Xerges Dourgont. [You have mastered the ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss] [You have unlocked your ss''s Exclusive Weapon: Heroes''s Sacrificial Bow, Jerna(Low-EX)] [You have unlocked your ss''s Exclusive Skills; Silverlight Body(F) and Silverlight Astral Gaze(F)] Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, feeling a warm sensation in his hand, and it was the bow of Xerges Dourgont. "Something like this possible?" He couldn''t help but mutter. The story of Moon Piercer is unfathomably miserable, which left a deep impression on Huo Yuhao as he stood alone in the Everlith Universe against the Monster Race. Heroes could only sacrifice themselves for the greater good, leaving only one hero in solitude. Huo Yuhao doesn''t know the continuation of Xerges Dourgont''s life story, but he could reach Godhood. Huo Yuhao still remembers Xerges''s skillful fighting style andpares it to himself. They are nearly equal if we were talking about pure skills, but Huo Yuhao has many cards to use. To be fair, he experienced the story from a first-person perspective. Yes, from Xernes Dourgont''s eyes himself. ''I pity and admire you.'' Huo Yuhao thought while gazing at the white moon in the night sky. He will continue Xernes''s Legacy. [Congrattions on mastering ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss, Host] Evo sent a notification. [Do you want to proceed with the next Divine-grade ss?] "No, not now." Huo Yuhao responded calmly. Although he has mastered the ''Moon''s Piercer'' ss, it doesn''t mean it was part of him yet. "I have a question." [Go on] "Does every Divine-grade ss have ss''s Exclusive Item?" [The answer is Yes and No] Evo made Huo Yuhao frown. [sses were based on one''s legacy. The one that makes a legacy either leaves behind something for their inheritor or not] [It also depends on whether the Legacy Maker is still alive] "Are you implying that Xerges Dourgont is still alive?" Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes. [Indeed] [You have gained the approval of Moon''s Piercer] "That''s not the only information you have, right?" [...] [With my Clearance level, I was barely able to dig his information] [Xernes Dourgont is an Omniversal-level Powerhouse, and he used to be the Moon''s Piercer before the Omniversal Order gave him another title] "Like my Radiant Epoch?" Huo Yuhao pointed out. [...] [No, Xernes Dourgont gained his fearsome title with pure destruction. I don''t know how powerful he was] [However, He''s widely known and recognized as the Silver Star of Destruction!] "Wow. The world is just bing bigger and bigger." Huo Yuhao felt he was a little figure in the vast Omniversal Order. [Given your extreme growth speed, you will reach the same stage soon, Host] Evo praised honestly. "Yeah." Huo Yuhao confidently smiled. After checking his overall condition, Huo Yuhao nced at his partner and saw Zhang Lexuan float on the Sea God Lake. She looks like a sleeping beauty, drifting on the calm water. "This..." He went to Zhang Lexuan''s side and obtained a status panel of her. "Looks like I''m not the only one who received a fortune." [Name: Zhang Lexuan] [Race: Human] [Age: 20] [Martial Soul: Broken Twin Moons(Mutated), Heart''s Arrow(+)] [Cultivation Realm: Rank 89, Soul Douluo] [Description: A maiden who is curious about love. She''s the student of Dragon God Mu En, hoping to pay him back in the future] "A maiden, huh?" Huo Yuhao scanned Zhang Lexuan''s status and couldn''t help butugh helplessly. He shook his head and paid more attention to the Martial Soul''s column. "Her martial soul mutated? On top of that, she also obtained another Martial Soul, Heart''s Arrow. I''m dumb if I couldn''t connect the dots between this and my Moon''s Piercer ss." ''Congrattions on your new harem member, hmph.'' Tian Meng scoffed from the Spiritual World. ''You reap what you sow.'' ''Yeah, and I sow my nut inside you.'' Huo Yuhao returned shamelessly. ''W-What, you...'' Tian Meng was ''literally'' caught off guard. She began ranting about Huo Yuhao''s shamelessness. Huo Yuhao ignored Tian Meng and stretched his hand, trying to caress Zhang Lexuan''s cheek. But Zhang Lexuan suddenly opened her eyes, revealing sparkling white eyes. When Huo Yuhao observed them carefully, he could see an eclipse moon''s pattern on each eye. The left one was white-blue, and the other was white-green. Zhang Lexuan blinked a few times, causing her eyes to return to their original ck luster. "Yuhao?" She called his name out. "Yes, Senior Sister." Huo Yuhao smiled a little. "D-Did the experiment seed?" "Yes, it went spectacrly!" "Thank god..." Zhang Lexuan sighed in relief. She pressed her hand against her chest and realized she was wet. ''AH!'' She''s wearing all white, which means Huo Yuhao could see her body in full glory. "T-Turn around!" Huo Yuhao was puzzled inside but quickly realized this sudden mood change. He chuckled and said, "Senior, you shouldn''t be embarrassed." "You''re beautiful." "You should be proud of it." He honestly praised her. Wet Zhang Lexuan looks ''extremely'' charming at the moment. It''s the truth! Huo Yuhao held his desire back because he knew people were watching them over. Zhang Lexuan''s heart fluttered when she heard Huo Yuhao''s praise. She likes it every time Huo Yuhaopliments her. She shyly turned around, "Am I beautiful, Yuhao?" "200%." Huo Yuhao shed a grin. Zhang Lexuan chuckled and added, "Then, can you close your eyes? Just for a second." "Okay..." Huo Yuhao naturally agreed. ''Aih, here we go. Another one in the bag.'' Tian Mengined, but her eyes betrayed her words. She stared at Zhang Lexuan and cheered for her. Zhang Lexuan pressed her body to Huo Yuhao and nted her lips on his lips. Their lips smacked against each other, and tongues were even involved in the process. "That was..." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes in surprise. Zhang Lexuan bit her lips and said determinedly, "Yuhao, I like you." "Please be my boyfriend!" Chapter 252: Moons Piercer Classs Exclusive Skills and Weapon Chapter 252: Moon''s Piercer ss''s Exclusive Skills and Weapon --- Chapter 249 --- "So that''s how Senior Zhang became my girlfriend." Huo Yuhao introduced Zhang Lexuan to the girls. Zhang Lexuan is hugging Huo Yuhao''s right arm sheepishly with a blush on her cheeks, giving off this maiden-in-love charm to the atmosphere. Qianye Ying''er and Yang Xin(Scathach) watched this with an "I knew it." look on their faces. As expected of their Huo Yuhao. Meanwhile, the Seven Shrek Devils and rted members were shocked beyond belief, especially Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong. "W-What the..." Wang Dong''s jaw dropped. "H-How did this end like this?" Xiao Xiao was speechless. She was sure Zhang Lexuan wasn''t the type of woman who would take Huo Yuhao''s charm to the face this easily. However, Xiao Xiao was proven wrong with a p on the face by sight before her. "..." Ma Xiaotao was literally too stunned to speak. Her facial expression is pure disbelief. They don''t know how to react to this matter. They admired Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan, especially thetter as a fellow female but famous for her strength in the academy. She was also brave enough to confess her feelings to Huo Yuhao. ''I also confessed to Yuhao, but he didn''t ept me directly!'' Xiao Xiao''s green eyes shone dimly. She felt this was unfair. She gazed at Zhang Lexuan silently, showing a bit of murderous intent. A secondter, Xiao Xiao sighed because Huo Yuhao must have a reason to ept Zhang Lexuan. ''Senior Zhang is indeed beautiful, but she is also strong. Or is it because she was connected to Yuhao''s training these days? His bow and arrow ys have this thin presence of the Moon.'' Unknowingly, Xiao Xiao has already gotten her answer. Tang Ya pped her hand, "Way to go, Yuhao~!" "Even Senior Zhang couldn''t escape your clutch!" "Are you praising me or insulting me?" Huo Yuhao returned with a funny look. "Of course, I''m praising you." Tang Ya giggled gleefully. Bei Bei also smiled at Huo Yuhao because Zhang Lexuan deserved a guy like him. ''I was more than happy with Tang Ya on my side.'' He thought to himself. Xu Sanshi gave Huo Yuhao a thumb for catching such a fine woman. He couldn''t help but nce at Jiang Nannan, who witnessed all this with a cute frown. "What?" Jiang Nannan red at Xu Sanshi. "N-Nothing, haha!" Xu Sanshi scratched the back of his head andughed. Jiang Nannan lowered her head and puckered her cherry lips, "What a dummy." "Okay, okay, stop crowding Yuhao and Lexuan." Mu En''s hearty chuckle entered their ears as he walked toward them. "We, elders, have some questions." "You don''t have a problem answering some of them, right?" He gave Huo Yuhao a slight smirk. Since Huo Yuhao epted Zhang Lexuan as his girlfriend, Mu En was technically his father-inw. Huo Yuhao''s eyebrow twitched slightly, "Go on." "What actually happened just now?" Mu En asked straightforwardly. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "It''s called Godly Manifestation. " "When one learns concepts to the sufficient level, a manifestation of the said matter will appear physically and virtually between reality." "What I''ve been learning all this time is the way to pierce a moon." "And I need Lexuan''s Martial Soul for that." He smiled at his new girlfriend. "Ah, the moon!" Everyone gazed at Zhang Lexuan in realization. No wonder Huo Yuhao wanted her to be his assistant! Zhang Lexuan felt the intense gazes and calmly coughed to ease her nervousness. Her cold Senior Sister''s persona was ''unfortunately'' ruined, but that doesn''t mean she would show her meek side constantly. "Hmm..." Mu En noticed something extra about his disciple, Zhang Lexuan. Except for her flushed look, which is ''normal'' for a maiden-in-love, Mu En sensed Zhang Lexuan''s Martial Soul had mutated. On top of that, another Martial Soul is ''suddenly'' awakened after the Piercing Moon''s Baptism. "Impressive... Such a way of awakening Spirits actually exists." Mu En stroked his beard wisely. "Lexuan, do you feel ufortable after receiving the baptism?" Zhang Lexuan shook her head and replied, "No." "On the contrary, I felt more powerful than ever." "I also felt like my cultivation speed would be faster if I stayed beside Huo Yuhao." "I see..." Mu En nodded in understanding. After all, this phenomenon was ''thoroughly'' caused by Huo Yuhao. Mu En wanted to know more, but he doubted he could get more answers than this. Knowing Zhang Lexuan''s Martial Soul mutated positively and awakened a new one, he was more than happy. "There is more to it." Huo Yuhao said while stretching his sore neck. "You can ask Lexuan moreter. She must rest and consolidate her cultivation base first." "Okay." Mu En helplessly sighed. Huo Yuhao smiled and nced at the Shrek Seven Devils, "There would be no training tomorrow. You''re free to rx and check your improvement." "I hope you guys are doing well in the tournament because I don''t want my extra efforts wasted." "We know, stop looking down on us!" Wang Dongined while waving her fist. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "I''m not looking down on you." "You guys are just that weak." "Well, good night." Huo Yuhao turned around while holding Zhang Lexuan''s hand. Xiao Xiao bit her sleeve in jealousy, "I must be stronger faster." "Don''t you think so, Senior Ma?" She tried to burn Ma Xiaotao''s spirit to fight. Surprisingly, Ma Xiaotaoughed and followed Huo Yuhao, "That only applies to you. I live with him, hehe." "..." Xiao Xiao. "Poor Xiao Xiao." Wang Dong cast a smug look at her. Xiao Xiao was annoyed and grabbed Wang Dong''s cor, "I will beat you to a pulp!" Aih, how nice to be young.'' Mu En watched this in amusement. He ced his hands behind his back and enjoyed the night''s breeze. ... On the way to the dorm, Huo Yuhao checked his new skills. [Silverlight Domain] [Type: Active/ss''s Exclusive Skill] [Current Grade: F] [Description: The Domain of the [Moon''s Piercer], which was ''purposely'' developed with the extremity of Silverlight Force and the concept of piercing] [1st Effect: All attacks within the Silverlight Domain will ignore 50% of the enemy''s defense] [2nd Effect: All attacks within the Silverlight Domain will be 50% more powerful.

[Divine Might of Moon''s Piercer] [Type: Passive/ss''s Exclusive Skill] [Current Grade: F] [Description: The refined and ascended version of Silverlight Force.

Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise and mumbled inwardly, ''Damn.'' ''Moon''s Piercer is this strong?'' Even though Huo Yuhao has mastered the Moon''s Piercer ss, he hasn''t learned anything about it yet. [The Legacy of Omniversal Being can''t be ordinary, Host] Evo suddenlymented. ''That''s true.'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but wonder how powerful the ss''s Exclusive Weapon would be. ''Let''s check it.'' [Heroes''s Sacrificial Bow, Jerna] [Type: Ultra Divine Tool] [Grade: EX-Low] [Description: The Divine Bow of Xerges Dourgont when he was still active as the Moon''s Piercer, carrying his will and endless hatred toward Moonlit Cmity] [1st Skill: Hateful Sacrifice] [All Stats 500% by sacrificing one''s Divine Might] [2nd Skill: Killing Shot] [Manifest and fire a hate-powered arrow at the enemy, having a 0.001% chance to deal a killing blow and instantly kill the target] [3rd Skill: Moon''s Piercing Arrow] [Call upon the ''Sacrificial Arrow'' that ended an era. All enemies shall perish!] "D-Damn, DAYUM!" Huo Yuhao immediately blurted out, startling thedies. "What happened?" Thedies stared at Huo Yuhao, especially Zhang Lexuan. Huo Yuhao realized his mistake and coughed, "It''s nothing." However, deep down, Huo Yuhao bes more excited than ever and expects his other Divine-grade ss to give him a simr item upon mastering the ss. Heroes''s Sacrificial Bow, Jerna, is too damn strong. Chapter 253: Breakfast with Zhang Lexuan, and A New Class to Master Chapter 253: Breakfast with Zhang Lexuan, and A New ss to Master --- Chapter 250 --- The next day, Huo Yuhao was ''gradually'' awakened by the smell of a hearty breakfast. He rubbed his eyes and stood up from his bed, forgetting he wasn''t in the Dragon Nest''s base. "Yun''er, is that you?" He walked down to the first floor. To Huo Yuhao''s surprise, the person in the kitchen was none other than his new girlfriend, Zhang Lexuan, and she wore this adorable ko-themed apron. She also tied her long hair into a ponytail. "Ah, morning." Zhang Lexuan smiled sweetly at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao''s sleepy blue eyes widened as he felt his heart flutter in amusement upon seeing Zhang Lexuan. He chuckled inwardly because Zhang Lexuan really takes this rtionship seriously. Of course, Huo Yuhao isn''t ying around with Zhang Lexuan''s feelings as he genuinely wants to know more about her. It''s just the God of Lust''s nature he couldn''t handle well. "Morning." Huo Yuhao responded while leaning on the counter. "What are you cooking?" Zhang Lexuan ced a small bowl, "Moon Fish''s Soup." "Try it, and tell me if the taste is right." Huo Yuhao picked up the bowl and sipped the broth, feeling the savory yet light taste. He relished the soup tasted incredible for someone who just awakened from sleep. There is also a bit of fish''s meat, which adds to the soup''s texture. "It''s good." He praised while cing the small bowl down. "R-Really?" Zhang Lexuan couldn''t help but feel happy. "Yes. It tastes like someone who has learned cooking for years." "Haha, funny for you to say that because this was my first time cooking for someone else. I usually cooked breakfast and dinner for myself..." "Woah, I didn''t know you''re a skilled master in this niche field." Huo Yuhao was impressed. After all, people are busy getting strong in this world. He expected a cold senior like Zhang Lexuan to focus all her attention on her cultivation. She wouldn''t have time to waste, especially cooking delicious foods. A few minutester, they sat around the dining table. Since the otherdies are still sleeping, only they are eating breakfast. "Dig in." Zhang Lexuan rested her chin on the back of her hand, watching Huo Yuhao with an absorbed look. Huo Yuhao wasn''t being polite with it. He grabbed his chopsticks and began devouring the breakfasts Zhang Lexuan made. "Damn, it was amazing." Huo Yuhao finished them all in less than three minutes. Zhang Lexuan covered her mouth andughed, "I can cook for you from now on. I''ve got permission from my teacher to stay here." "I think there should be extra room for me, no?" "There is... Still, Elder Mu En gives you such permission?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. "Un." Zhang Lexuan nodded. ''That old man must be nning something. Hehe, unfortunately, Lexuan won''t say jack shit to you.'' Huo Yuhaoughed inside because the power of love is blind. He stared at Zhang Lexuan and added, "Okay..." "Do you have a n while staying here?" "No." Zhang Lexuan shook her head gently. "I decided to reschedule my activities." "My teacher told me to get used to my mutated Martial Soul." "As for the newly awakened one, he advised me to ask for your help." "Yuhao, you will help me, right?" She asked while giving him this confident look. Huo Yuhao helplessly sighed, "He got me." "Well, there is nothing wrong with such a request." "Don''t worry, Lexuan. I will take responsibility." He yfully winked at her in return. Zhang Lexuan was caught off guard, causing her to blush a little. Still, she was boiling happy inside. ''Hmm, adorable.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. He checked Zhang Lexuan''s status page again and immediately thought of a n to increase her strength. Her foundation is quite solid because Mu En trained her right. "We still have a few days before going to the Dragon Nest''s base..." "Lexuan, do you want to enter the Title Douluo Realm or cultivate your new Martial Soul?" Zhang Lexuan thoughtfully replied, "The first option is not viable because my mutated Moon is like a whole different Martial Soul to me now..." "It would take time for me to regain my control, so I would rather cultivate Heart''s Arrow for now." "Good." Huo Yuhao smiled and brought out some Rune Stones. "You can choose the mostpatible Rune Stone for your first Spirit Ring." "After that, I will carve the first stage of Spirit Circuits on your body and teach Universal Breathing Technique to you." Zhang Lexuan gasped as her eyes widened in shock, "A-Aren''t those supposed to be the Dragon Nest''s Secret Techniques?" Huo Yuhao gave her a funny look, "If my girlfriend can cook me breakfast, the least I can do is give her some new stuff." "As for the secrecy stuff... I will handle it." "T-Thank you." Zhang Lexuan knew she couldn''t reject Huo Yuhao. She was grateful. Huo Yuhao waved his hand humbly because doing something like this was effortless. He wouldn''t get that much of a consequence. Like, who would be mad at him? He''s the leader of Dragon Nest! At the same time, Huo Yuhao wanted to master more Divine-grade sses. He''s tight on time. ... Three hourster. Huo Yuhao carved Spirit Circuits on Zhang Lexuan''s body and left her frequently blushing because he required constant skin contact in the entire process. Zhang Lexuan wore her gray shirt again, covering the green lines-covered back. Those green lines blinked one after another, giving off a live feeling. ''She wore purple, huh?'' Huo Yuhao thought while checking Zhang Lexuan out. "So, how was it? Do you feel weird?" Zhang Lexuan looked puzzled and answered, "I don''t know how to feel. It was bizarre when my body absorbed the surrounding Spirit Energy and circted in my veins." "That''s the proper way." Huo Yuhao said reassuringly. "But the magic hasn''t even begun yet." "Lean over your forehead." "Okay." Zhang Lexuan trusted Huo Yuhao, so she leaned over him. Huo Yuhao actually didn''t need physical contact to carve Spirit Circuits, but it''s more interesting this way. He ced his forehead on Zhang Lexuan''s and transferred the Universal Breathing Technique. Zhang Lexuan gasped, "W-Woah..." "Such a profound technique. No wonder the Dragon Nest''s strength is unknown, but each of you was a monstrous expert." "Try running the Universal Breathing Technique with Spirit Circuits." Huo Yuhao chuckled because the mix would blow Zhang Lexuan''s mind. Zhang Lexuan adjusted her breathing sequence and felt Spirit Energy surging through her body like a flood. She had to stop breathing because it was too much. "I want you to utilize the Universal Breathing Technique like it was your second nature, so your current task is to run around the dorm house while using it." "Go, go, I will be watching over from here." Zhang Lexuan put on a determined look and stormed out of the living room with an excited look. Huo Yuhao opened the window and sat on it, "Let''s try tenps first." As Zhang Lexuan experimented with the Universal Breathing Technique, Huo Yuhao''s gaze wandered to the system panel. [Ding! You have mastered the Moon''s Piercer ss] [Do you want to choose another Divine-grade ss to master?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao answered casually. [Please choose one out of the five options...] [Abyssal Reaper] [Netherworld Avenger] [Monk of Resistance] [Techno Archon] [Pagma''s Incarnation] Faced with these options, Huo Yuhao decided to shuffle them and choose randomly. "Evo, shuffle and pick a random one for me." Five names shuffled before Huo Yuhao''s eyes, and one was ''finally'' chosen. "Well, that was neat..." [Ding! You have chosen ''Monk of Resistance'' to master] "From a long-ranged ss to a tank!" Huo Yuhao grinned at the thought of being aplete nightmare to his opponent. "This is going to be interesting." Chapter 254: How not to Master Monk of Resistance Class (1) Chapter 254: How not to Master Monk of Resistance ss (1) --- Chapter 251 --- [ss: Monk of Resistance] [Type: Pdin(Cleric''s Origin)] [Grade: Divine] [Description: Born in an era of war with a body naturally cursed into resisting all elements'' affinity, a boy was ''scornfully'' deemed disabled in the Elemental Universe. He got abandoned at the Guardian Valley in the harsh winter season and entered a lonely church called the ''Guardian Temple of Light'' to go through rigorous training to be stronger] [Fifty years passed, and the boy grew into a man. He has turned the curse that gued his body into his own strength, bing the first Monk of Resistance] [Once he stepped into the battlefield, Strongest Cleric, Imprable Guardian, ck-Eyed Immortal, and finally... Monk of Resistance] [He paved the path of divinity with absolute focus, firmmitment, sheer fucking will alone, proving everyone wrong] ... Huo Yuhao read the description of [Monk of Resistance] and couldn''t help but smile weirdly. "What the hell, why did [Monk of Resistance]''s Description take a lot longer than [Moon''s Piercer]?" "Evo." [To be honest, [Moon''s Piercer]''s ss is a ''special'' case, Host] [As you know, the Divine-grade ss is basically a legacy, so it records the legend of the predecessor] [Since you wanted to master this ss, isn''t it better to know more about Monk of Resistance?] Evomented back. Huo Yuhao couldn''t refute Evo''s words. However, he was still speechless by this extra revtion. He nced at the other System Panel and mumbled, "Well, I can''t change my mind mid-way." [Ding! You have chosen ''Monk of Resistance'' to master] [Guardian Trial willmence...] [You have gotten inflicted by the Demonic Curse of Heavenly Restriction!] [Your elemental affinity dropped by 500%] [Your martial affinity increased by 100%] [You have acquired a new Passive Skill: Blood Qi] [Monk of Resistance ss detected high-quality blood flowing in your body... Blood Qi started Level 69] [You have acquired a new Passive Skill: Bloody Prayer] [No Prayer detected, Bloody Prayer started level 0] [You have acquired a new Active Skill: Curse Counter] [Monk of Resistance ss detected high-quality curse energy in your body... Curse Counter started at level 75] [You have acquired a new Active Skill: Heavenly Punishment] [Monk of Resistance ss detected a high-quality cursed soul sealed in your Spiritual Sea... Heavenly Punishment started at Level 10] [A Sub-Quest is issued] [Name: Monk of Resistance''s Basics] [Objective: Please reach level 100 on Four Basic Skills(0/4)] [Penalty: Demonic Curse of Heavenly Restriction''s debuff effect will be stronger] [Reward: Monk of Resistance''s Prayer Beads(F)] "..." Huo Yuhao stared at the System Panel nkly. "What''s with this disproportionate Debuff?" "The curse made my Elemental Affinity beyond zero. A negative, I''m sure of it, but I don''t know how low it is..." "As for Martial Affinity, what can a double of my base achieve? The buff is negligible for a person like me." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but sigh, "Just how did this man live in this condition? He actually made this curse part of his strength." He checked the four skills, "Blood Qi is the energy cultivated by the Monk of Resistance, a pretty straightforward skill like my [Moon''s Piercer]''s Silverlight Energy." "Bloody Prayer is... Isn''t this just Vampiric''s Blood Transformation? The skill essentially refined the enemy''s blood into a Prayer, a condensed and more refined Blood Qi." "As for the Curse Counter and Heavenly Punishment. I didn''t expect my fight with the Cursed God and Loki''s Soul inside my Spiritual Sea would lead to such an expected harvest." A weird smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. "Curse Counter, convert anything rted to darkness into origin force. I can attack, defend, or create energy weapons with it." "The Heavenly Punishment turned Loki''s Soul into a summon, which I can use to assist me in battle." He rubbed his chin and chuckled, "Well, Loki... You''re more useful than I thought." "But you only helped me reach level 10 in Heavenly Punishment. You''re pretty weak for a God, huh?" He added in a mocking tone. Although Huo Yuhao knew Loki couldn''t respond to his mocks, he did it for petty satisfaction. This Evil God deserves all the smoke and dirt from his actions in the Draconic Deus. Huo Yuhao checked the Quest''s Panel this time and frowned because the objective was a little more problematic than he imagined. Unlike [Moon''s Piercer] ss, Monk of Resistance really wanted him to grind. There is also a penalty, which is quite harshpared to the easygoing [Moon''s Piercer] ss. "Well, the difficulty raised quite drastically." "But I''ve conquered two universes. I mean, how hard mastering this ss can be?" The sheer confidence in Huo Yuhao''s bones is unmatched. ... The next day, Huo Yuhao, The Shrek Seven Devils, Shrek''s Teachers, and some extra disciples went on a journey to visit the Dragon Nest''s base. The Continental Academy Spirit Tournament is about to start in a few days. They currently sit on an all-terrain mobility car, which Dragon Nest''s research team developed a while back. The eyes of students from the Spirit Guidance Tool Department shone when observing this beast of a ride. "I can''t believe time passed so fast..." Wang Dongmented as she watched Shrek City be smaller and smaller. "All you did was sleep like a pig. Of course, time went by faster." Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and giggled at Wang Dong. A vein popped on Wang Dong''s forehead, "Xiao Xiao, give me a break." "At least I''m not all sweaty like you." "You smelt fishy this morning... What did you actually do in the dorm room, Xiao Xiao?" Wang Dong squinted her eyes at Xiao Xiao. "Don''t tell me you love fish that much..." Xiao Xiao was ''actually'' caught off guard. "T-That''s none of your business!" She blushed a little and cursed Bibi Dong inwardly. ''Sweaty? Fishy?'' Everyone in the car thought. Huo Yuhao facepalmed at Wang Dong''s innocent. He nced at Zhang Lexuan and asked, "How was your progress?" Zhang Lexuan smiled lightly and answered, "I''ve absorbed my 1st Spirit Ring, and my progress on Universal Breathing Technique is close to level three." "Level three? Not bad." Huo Yuhao praised her efforts and talents. Since Zhang Lexuan just got her Spirit Circuits carved this morning. Yet she grasped the Universal Breathing Technique quite fast. Her understanding of the human physique is probably high. "What about you, Senior Ma?" Huo Yuhao asked Ma Xiaotao. "Me?" Ma Xiaotao was surprised by Huo Yuhao''s sudden question. "I''m at Level 5 but should reach Level 6 soon." "The thing you gave me helped with the progress." Huo Yuhaoughed and would be surprised if the Phenex Devil n''s Bloodline did not help Ma Xiaotao''s progress. "Good job, keep it up." He smiled at her. Ma Xiaotao was in a dilemma. After the whole fiasco of Zhang Lexuan bing Huo Yuhao''s girlfriend, Ma Xiaotao feltplicated about her rtionship with Huo Yuhao. She knew her rtionship with Huo Yuhao was more than ordinary. He cared about her, after all. ''If Senior Lexuan could confess her feelings with such conviction, then I should be able to do so.'' The fighting spirit burned inside Ma Xiaotao. Huo Yuhao observed Xiao Xiao andmented, "Xiao Xiao, you reached level 6?" "Damn, you''re fast." Xiao Xiao yed with her hair and responded, "This is nothing." "I''m doing my best for the tournament." "You still remember our bet, right?" "Of course." Huo Yuhao nodded in affirmation. He also made a bet with the princess of the Star Luo Empire. "Hehe, I will give you a huge surpriseter." Xiao Xiao puffed her chest confidently. Huo Yuhao couldn''t wait. "Let''s increase our pace!" He activated a barrier around the all-terrain mobility car and ran the external thruster system. "Our destination is Sky Feather City." He grinned, and the all-terrain mobility car suddenly moved like lightning. Swoosh! Boom! The all-terrain mobility car traveled across the horizon. Chapter 255: How not to Master Monk of Resistance Class (2) Chapter 255: How not to Master Monk of Resistance ss (2) --- Chapter 252 --- The all-terrain mobility car glided through the air. It didn''t release any noise as the barrier canceled it, making the travel smooth. As an avid Spirit Engineer or Spirit Guidance Master from the Spirit Guidance Department, He Caitou couldn''t hold his curiosity. The same goes for Luo Xing, another student from the Spirit Guidance Department. She had been checking Huo Yuhao out for over a week and was clearly charmed by him. However, she also has a clear goal in her life. They nced at each other and nodded. "Um, Sir Yuhao. I know this might sound rude, but I wanted to know how this transportation works." He Ciatou finally opened his mouth. Huo Yuhao raised his brow and rubbed his chin amusingly, "Oh, I believe this was your first time formally talking to me?" From the beginning of hellish training, He Caitou and Luo Xing have been very quiet. They endured everything Huo Yuhao had thrown at them and usually responded with one or three words. He Caitou scratched his cheek awkwardly, "Yes." "Are you also curious, Luo Xing?" Huo Yuhao asked the well-dresseddy beside He Caitou. Luo Xing blushed a little, "We only wanted to know the theory behind it. You don''t have to give us core information." ''Good.'' Fan Yu, the instructor of He Caitou and Luo Xing, nodded at this sight because he taught them to think outside the box. They didn''t need to know about full technology when theories could give them a more fundamentalistic understanding. "Hmm, let''s see..." Huo Yuhao thought about it for a second. He smiled andmented, "You know I might not know a thing about this field, right?" "I''m brute. I only know how to punch rock and stuff." ''That''s such a tant lie.'' Everyone thought when looking at Huo Yuhao''s annoying smile. "Even if it''s just a scrap of bread crumbs, it''s still better than nothing." He Caitou replied decisively. "Nice words." Huo Yuhao praised him. "Well, it would take a while to reach Sky Feather City. I suppose giving you some pointers won''t make this journey boring." Huo Yuhao grabbed a bag of candy and grabbed a few before passing it to others, "Still, I must warn you that some terms I used might be unfamiliar because we used different Spirit Engineering." "Understood!" He Caitou and Luo Xing answered simultaneously. Huo Yuhao began exining simple things like basic engineering and the usage of nature. Wind, heat, and electricity are weaker than Spirit Energy but are much more versatile, and everyone(even ordinary people) can use them. He also taught them a lesson about the fire element and its appliances to Spirit Engineering. Fire is not just this cool trick fire-attributed Spirit Masters used to fight their enemies. There are different temperatures. How you ignite fire might lead to different results. Everyone, including the teachers of Shrek Academy, listened to Huo Yuhao''s lesson solemnly. It is like a gate of wonder to the new world is ''suddenly'' opened for them. Unfortunately, this is the basics. Huo Yuhao wouldn''t divulge something strategic like G-Reactor or MR-Cube, but using advanced alchemy to refine metal should be impressive enough for their eyes. He created one kilogram of iron sand with [Heavenly Dao of Myriad Shape] and silently ced it into a pouch. "Watch this." Huo Yuhao brought out the pouch and lifted his right arm, summoning a small me. It was a weak me, barely enough to burn a kindling. Ma Xiaotao and other fire-attributed Spirit Masters squinted their eyes. Wait, something is not right about this me. Huo Yuhao''s fire affinity is horrendously low because of [Monk of Resistance] ss, but that doesn''t mean he lost his skill. Under everyone''s watchful eyes, Huo Yuhao showcased skillful control over the fire elements. The me swirled and used the surrounding oxygen to shape itself. The rapid reaction of burning happened, allowing the fire to burn intensely yet still contained in a ball-shaped domain. Huo Yuhao grabbed the iron sand and tossed it into the burning me, refining it with his Alchemy Technique. His me would burn anything into dust if used for attack, but the iron sand was ''slowly'' pressured by the ball-shaped domain like how precious metal was born within the earth. "If any of you are cksmith or Alchemist, you must find this process familiar." "Yup, I''m refining iron sands into a weapon using pressure and heat." Huo Yuhao grinned at them. "Of course, this one is gonna be a Spirit Guidance Weapon with Dragon Nest''s twist." As the iron sand got refined into tempered steel, Huo Yuhao added a line of Runes on its body. "Form." He said casually. BAM! Huo Yuhao pulled something out, and everyone saw a shining short sword in his hand. The sheer gleam of the short sword makes Spirit Engineers in the all-terrain mobility cars rub their hands in excitement. "Such a pure yet strong steel." Luo Xing mumbled. "And those unique engravings. They are not engraving used on the Douluo Continent." "Yes. Those are runes." Huo Yuhao answered honestly. "This one, in particr, allowed me to manipte the gravity field." "Like how the all-terrain mobility car floats in the air. And you didn''t feel it because the surrounding space is ''actually'' pressured by a device that I shall not name." A cheeky smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face. "How stingy." Wang Dongined, and everyone agreed with her. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at her, "Huush, adults are talking. You should go nap or something." "Y-You." Wang Dong was speechless. Huo Yuhao ignored her and added, "Shrek Academy sent their students to the Dragon Nest Academy, no? You will meet them and discover more about the wonder of science soon." "But remember, the amount of knowledge you obtained might be negligible. There are so many things to learn within a limited time." "I see..." Everyone nodded in understanding. The teachers especially hoped those exchange students brought incredible results. Unfortunately for them, those students might change their affiliation soon, considering Dragon Nest is better at everything. It applies to every exchange student who experiences Dragon Nest''s teaching firsthand. ... As Huo Yuhao kept talking about simple scientific matters, he and some teachers suddenly detected the space ahead warped. Crack! A dimensional crack appeared out of nowhere and swallowed the all-terrain mobility car before it could change course or dodge. BAM! They crashed into a rocky mountain. Fortunately, no one got injured because of the barrier around the all-terrain mobility car. [Ding! Congrattions on discovering one of the Douluo Continent''s Three Blessed Lands] [Once upon a time, the Dragon God and Dragon n fought an invasion of the Extraterrestrial Race in ancient times. They ughtered every bit of them, soaking thend with their blood, bones, and flesh. Their dark souls condensed on this very piece ofnd, transforming it into a cursed yet Blessed Land] [You have entered the ''The Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim!''] Huo Yuhao frowned because of Evo''s notifications. He knew about the Douluo Continent''s Three Blessed Lands, with Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley being the most known in the original series. However, Huo Yuhao never learned about the third Blessed Land because it was ''purposely'' never mentioned in the series. Still, there is only one thing that could exin this event. ''Damn, my luck is overpowered.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. He nced at others and said, "Let''s get out first." "Teachers, please protect the students. We don''t know what kind of danger exists in this ce." Everyone nodded and slowly walked out of the all-terrain mobility car, finding a in of grass-coverednd of bones. Thend is vast, but they couldn''t see the end of it. The weird thing about thisnd is the sun above them is dark with a crimson ring around it, making the gravity here many times heavier. "Something ising." Although Huo Yuhao has long sensed it, Elder Xuan Zi was the one who warned everyone. "Everyone, brace yourself!" BOOM! A massive entitynded on the ground before them. As the cloud of dust cleared, they could see a western dragon over fifteen feet made of vines-covered bones and leaves standing menacingly. Huo Yuhao observed the dragon and said, "Interesting." The dragon''s eyes are a burning ball of green me as it opens its leaves-covered mouth, "Humans, your arrival here will be judged by the God of Forest." "Prepare for the misery of a trial!" Chapter 256: How not to Master Monk of Resistance Class (3) Chapter 256: How not to Master Monk of Resistance ss (3) --- Chapter 253 --- Star Dou Forest. Beneath the Lake of Life, a massive silver dragon is sleeping soundlessly and recovering from her injuries. However, she was awakened from her deep slumber all of a sudden! Two slitted purple gem-like eyes opened in the darkness, shining with confusion. "This feeling..." A gruff female voice escaped the silver dragon''s mouth. "The Extraterrestrial Race''s remains are still on the Douluo. I thought we had ughtered every bit of them?" The silver dragon gazed into the distance and grumbled, "With my power, I can''t even detect the location of the secret realm. Tsk, how pathetic for me, Dragon God, to end up in this state..." One could feel sheer arrogance from the silver dragon''s tone alone. Left with no choices, the silver dragon could only contact the remaining of her kind on the surface. Shemanded the current Darkness Dragon King to search for the Extraterrestrial Race''s location at all costs, or else the Douluo would end up just like her. As much as the silver dragon wanted to meddle personally, she could not let herself get detected by the Gods of the Douluo Divine Realm. The silver dragon didn''t know how much time had passed. Still, she better be cautious than the catch in the crossfire. On the surface, the Golden-Eyed ck Dragon trembled upon hearing the god''s order. He had not witnessed the Extraterrestrial Race''s invasion, but his mother and father had told a legend about it. To think the Extraterrestrial Race still exists on thisnd means the Douluo won''t be peaceful from now on. "A few weeks ago, someone released a strong aura in my territory to provoke me." The Golden-Eyed ck Dragon, Di Tian, huffed angrily. "Now this..." "What a bad luck." "Bi Ji, call every Great Beast in the Star Dou Forest. It''s an emergency." A beautiful swan with an emerald-like feather heard the Golden-Eyed ck Dragon''smand and nodded gently, releasing a summoning shout to all corners. Soon, several gigantic beasts arrived at the heart of Star Dou Forest. Who would have thought the mere presence of the Extraterrestrial Race would incite so much chaos in the Spirit Beast''s faction? ... Back to the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim. Huo Yuhao and others faced the Extraterrestrial Race, which has taken dragon form. Most likely because the Dragon Rice was the one who eradicated them. Interestingly, Huo Yuhao found the Extraterrestrial Race was ''actually'' made of microscopic insects that could take over biological and non-biological life. After all, this unique-looking creature before them consists of vines-covered bones, leaves, and some coarse crystals. The crystals are invisible to normal eyes, but that doesn''t apply to Huo Yuhao. "Interesting..." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. "Humans, your arrival here will be judged by the God of Forests." "Prepare for the misery of a trial!" Xuan Zi and other Title Douluo in the group frowned. They could feel the ''dragon'' before them was more powerful than Level 98 Hyper Douluo. However, they also felt the ''dragon'' wasn''t enough to fight against them all. SCREEEEEEEEEECH!! An ear-piercing sound suddenly echoed all over the in. Everyone shivered instinctively and looked up, seeing an ashen eye gazing down at them. At this moment, they felt a soul-stirring sensation all over their entire being. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Child''s y." [30% Haoshoku Haki] BOOM! A simrly powerful Spiritual Pressure is released by Huo Yuhao, causing two opposing forces to explode on sight. A dim ashen and heavenly blue light shed, creating this spectacr spark. Although the heavenly blue light is smaller, it could contend against the dim ashen light without much problem. Everyone gasped for air, watching Huo Yuhao in awe and horror. "W-What was that?" Xu Sanshi was the one to open his mouth. Bei Bei coughed profusely and whispered, "Haki. The Supreme Technique of the Dragon Nest. To think it would be effective against that monster..." "Yuhao is our key to getting out of this ce." Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo gazed at Huo Yuhao solemnly. Mu En has ordered them to follow Huo Yuhao''s order if an emergency scenario happened on the way. They are skeptical because Mu En didn''t reveal his spar with Huo Yuhao a few weeks ago. Still, they didn''t expect the ''bad'' thing to happen this sudden. "Yuhao, what should we do?" Xuan Zi cast his pride aside and asked Huo Yuhao for help. ''Seriously, you asked me for help?'' Huo Yuhao stared at him silently. Still, Mu En must have ordered Xuan Zi to do something like this. He nced at the ashen-colored eye on the sky and replied, "Okay, listen up." "Hold them off for five minutes." "Them?" Everyone was stunned on the spot. As if responding to Huo Yuhao''s statement earlier, the surrounding area shook violently, and several Extraterrestrial Races burst out. They have mimicked otherary creatures, such as variations of Spirit Beasts and humans. Huo Yuhao smiled andmented, "Don''t worry, they might look strong, but they also have ring weaknesses." "Don''t you feel it already? Theirck of Spirit Energy?" Everyone''s eyes widened in realization because he was right. They couldn''t feel a drop of Spirit Energy from these Extraterrestrial Beasts. Even the first Extraterrestrial Dragon that greeted them earlier only mimicked the might of a dragon to scare them off. "Attack their bodies with high-intensity energy, and you should be able to deal with them." "Lastly..." "This is a trial ground." Huo Yuhao raised his index finger. "So, someone must have controlled it from behind, whether it was a spirit or another Extraterrestrial Beast. Give me five minutes, and I will find the person behind this." "Are you sure five minutes is enough?" The other Title Douluo sent by the Shrek Academy asked. Huo Yuhao raised his brow andughed the question off, "Haha, who do you think I am?" "Just focus on your part." Truthfully, Huo Yuhao could find the one behind this trial in the blink of an eye. But he thought the Shrek Seven Devils(they have eight members now because of the butterfly effect), Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan might need to experience more hardship. (AN: Luo Xing is actually a reserved member of Shrek Seven Devils) Simply put, he wanted to see how far these people could go. In the ''original'' story, they couldn''t even ascend to Godhood, unlike other Protagonist''s friends in the series. After saying that, Huo Yuhao activated the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and shared his Spiritual Vision with everyone. Gasps escaped their mouths because they could see things from Huo Yuhao''s perspective now, seeing everything in fine detail. With this, they could freely move without worrying about their backs. Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo shut their mouths. ''This is such a godly ability. It''s not as simple as viewing things in better light because I could even see the flow of Spirit Energy in the atmosphere.'' Xuan Zi sucked a cold breath. ''As if God has given them his vision.'' This line is how Xuan Zi would describe Huo Yuhao''s ability. Huo Yuhao hasn''t finished and even added 10% Observation Haki into the mix, making the things they see slower. It should allow them to find the weak spots on these Extraterrestrial Beasts. "Go!" Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. Zhang Lexuan was the first to move as she shot from the ground and summoned her new Martial Soul, Heart''s Arrow. However, she didn''t use this martial soul as intended and wielded it like a spear. Ma Xiaotao also flew forward, erupting with Hellish Phoenix me. Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo nced at each other before nodding their heads. They will act like guardians and deal with the Extraterrestrial Beast that exceeds the students'' levels. Bei Bei scanned the battlefield and shouted, "Iron Back Formation!" Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao walked forward, summoning their Martial Souls. Bei Bei stood in the middle with Tang Ya and Wang Dong. The back lines are Hei Caitou and Luo Xing, using their Spirit Guidance Tools as long-ranged weapons. Huo Yuhao watched this with a smile, "This will be a good five minutes." Chapter 257: How not to Master Monk of Resistance Class (4) Chapter 257: How not to Master Monk of Resistance ss (4) --- Chapter 254 --- Extraterrestrial Race is outer space being. They are formless creatures, to begin with, and grow by taking the form of others. However, they cannot mimic 100% of their target like it was an inborn curse, having imperfections. The best they could do is 80% mimicry. Exceeding that level, and their bodies crumble. But that limitation doesn''t weaken them. After devouring countlesss, the Extraterrestrial Race plundered traits of many races and made them their own. They slowly covered their weaknesses in one way or another. They are that of a cockroach, rapidly multiply, and hard to kill. Unfortunately, they took their sights on the wrongnd one day. They tried to invade the Douluo, the homnd of the Dragon n. A war began. Dragon God led the Dragon n and exterminated the Extraterrestrial Race. Yes, the Dragon n even did so far as to roam countless gxies and wipe out every Extraterrestrial in this universe. The resentment of Dragons is that strong. Still, who would have thought the Extraterrestrial Race''s remains survive and mimic the Dragon n''s traits instead? So far, the Extraterrestrial Race split into four groups. Extraterrestrial Beasts. Extraterrestrial Humans. Extraterrestrial Spirits. Extraterrestrial Dragons. And the Shrek Academy''s group will face them all for five minutes straight. ... Xu Sanshi and Xiao Xiao summoned their martial souls. Jiang Nannan stood calmly between the two and activated her Soft-Boned Rabbit''s power, which caused bunny ears and tail to grow on her body. "Are you guys ready?" Bei Bei asked from the back. "Yes!" Xu Sanshi readied his shield, and Xiao Xiao twisted her cauldrons. Bai Bei also transformed into a humanoid dragon and threw a purple lightning bolt at the iing Extraterrestrial Beast. "Go!" Jiang Nannan activated her Spirit Ring and teleported Xu Sanshi and Xiao Xiao away. Three of them disappeared and appeared in the air, watching Bei Bei''s lightning bolt fall. BOOM! "Xuanwu''s Shield." "Three Lives'' Weight." Xu Sanshi and Xiao Xiao pressed their Martial Souls down, causing the gravity to increase on many levels. A beam of energy descended from the force between the shield and the three cauldrons'' collide. BOOOOOM!! "Nannan, next!" Xu Sanshi roared as the Extraterrestrial Beasts below them were ''instantly'' pulverized by the high-intensity attack. Nannan touched Xu Sanshi and Xiao Xiao''s back and prepared to teleport them away. However, the Extraterrestrial Spirits, which are taking the form of Wind Elemental, surrounded them. Bei Bei squinted his eyes, "Tang Ya!" "Got it!" Tang Ya sped her hand. Blue Silver Grass began sprouting on the ground, wrapping around the Extraterrestrial Race. As the grass flooded the area, they reached the Extraterrestrial Spirits and trapped them in a tight bind. Wang Dong took her chance and condensed an intense beam of light with the Bright Goddess Butterfly. A brilliant golden light red and engulfed the Elemental Spirits in pure destruction, clearing the pathway for the ''Hit-and-Run'' group to move. Jiang Nannan immediately brought Xu Sanshi and Xiao Xiao away to another area. At the same time, He Caitou and Luo Xing put their Spirit Guidance Tools on the grounds. It was Spirit Cannons, lining up like a wall against the Extraterrestrial Humans. "Caitou, Xing, we need some fireworks." Bai Bei throws another lightning bolt at the enemy. "In a sec!" He Caitou wore a visor and bit a cigar. "All ammunition is reloaded." Luo Xing brushed her fingers against the air, causing the Spirit Cannons to light up with yellow light. He Caitou grinned and pulled a trigger, "Fire!" BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Spirit Cannons spit one shell after another, wiping Extraterrestrial Humans like fireworks on the spot. It was an unbelievable sight, especially from a department people looked down upon. The sheer firepower that He Caitou and Luo Xing achieved is more than the Control and ''Hit-and-Run'' Groupbined, but they needed preparation time. Well, that''s when rotationes in. As the captain, Bei Bei always maintained enough distance and firepower. Xuan Zi, the other Title Douluo, and some teachers watched this with a smile. The new Shrek Seven Devils lived up to their names. They didn''t disappoint the old generation. However, the proudest is none other than Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao didn''t teach the new Shrek Seven Devils for long, but they achieved a ''wonderful'' result. Their teamwork has evolved under his hellish training. "Well, you shouldn''t be too calm yourself." Huo Yuhao nced briefly andmented, noticing Extraterrestrial Dragons rushing toward Xuan Zhi and others. Zhang Lexuan faced three Extraterrestrial Dragons. Her Heart''s Arrow pointed at them, and blinding white light swept over them. BOOM! Ma Xiaotao is a tad weaker, so she could only face one Extraterrestrial Dragon at the time. Still, her Devilish Phoenix me dominated the enemy with pure heat alone. Meanwhile, Xuan Zi and others fought against a swarm of Extraterrestrial Giant Dragons. They are a ''stronger'' version of Extraterrestrial Dragon, possessing 80% quality of Pure-Blooded True Dragon. But from the look of it, the adults won''t have a problem. Huo Yuhao''s enhancements earlier yed a huge role in their sess. ''This is only the beginning.'' Huo Yuhao thought at the back of his head. ''Always expect bullshit from a ce like this.'' Huo Yuhao''s starry blue eyes scanned the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim and noticed the dying Extraterrestrial Race releasing this pure essence. He picked one of these essences and absorbed it, feeling his overall physique and blood get stronger. Only by a small amount, but still, it was impressive. "As expected from Douluo Continent''s Blessed Bowl." "Evo, how much essence do you think one needs to achieve a beneficial boost?" Huo Yuhaomunicated with the system. [Upon absorbing 1,000 Units of the Extraterrestrial''s Essences, there is a possibility of obtaining a unique bloodline and mutating one''s Physique or Martial Soul] [Every 100 Units will increase the chance by 0,1%] [The stronger the Extraterrestrial Race is, the better the essence] [But from my calction, only 1 out of 10 Extraterrestrial Race dropped this essence] "Then, why does my drop chance seem higher?" Huo Yuhao unknowingly irritated the system. [...] Evo didn''t reply and suddenly made the system panel appear before Huo Yuhao''s face. [Luck: EXX+] "Ah..." Huo Yuhao awkwardly gazed away. "Never mind, ignore my dumb question." He focused on the Extraterrestrial Race''s remains and mumbled, "Does [Monk of Resistance]''s Skills work on them?" "Extraterrestrial Race are technically dark-type creatures..." "And they nourish one''s physique and blood." Huo Yuhao sped his hands and mumbled in a zen-like state, "Bloody Prayers." [Blood Qi has increased by a level] [Bloody Prayer has increased by a level] [Curse Counter has increased by a level] [...] [...] [...] One notification after another rang in Huo Yuhao''s hand as he farmed off other people''s hard work. Even the first Monk of Resistance would not expect species like the Extraterrestrial Race to exist in the lower realm. A Monk of Resistance should grow on a battlefield, but what Huo Yuhao did is nothing more than suck off others. It is how not to master the [Monk of Resistance] ss. Of course, this steady improvement didn''tst long because the Shrek Academy''s group began declining. As time passed, their spirit energy used to a low level, and the enemy kept pouring out like tomorrow. There are still two minutes left. Huo Yuhao stared at the ashen eye in the sky and whispered in a low voice, "I see." "You''re also impatient." "But this is not enough, so keep throwing your disposable pawns at me. Give me more free experience..." He smirked evilly. "Do your best~!" Chapter 258: How not to Master Monk of Resistance Class (5) Chapter 258: How not to Master Monk of Resistance ss (5) --- Chapter 255 --- The waves of the Extraterrestrial Race are endless, wing their way to the Shrek Academy''s group. While the Shrek Seven Devils look like they are having an easy time, their Spirit Energy is close to being depleted. The same goes for Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and the adults in the Shrek Academy''s group. They are fighting Extraterrestrial Dragons non-stop, using every possible method to give Huo Yuhao more time. Zhang Lexuan breathed deeply, activating her Spirit Circuits through the Universal Breathing Technique. Since Huo Yuhao shared this technique and carved Spirit Circuits on her body, she has never felt this free. A Spirit Master must know how to use their Spirit Skills, managing which ones are the best for different situations. They also have to be mindful of their energy usage. In the past, Zhang Lexuan found the Dragon Nest''s techniques good. But now, she knew they were more than superior. The sheer freedom Zhang Lexuan had when attacking the enemy didn''t get bound to energy consumption anymore. She could use her Spirit Skills freely. Zhang Lexuan danced on the battlefield, stabbing her Heart''s Arrow at the iing Extraterrestrial Dragons. Not bound by ordinary standards, Zhang Lexuan''s new martial soul is a four-meter-long arrow with a heart-shaped end akin to a spearhead. Every time Zhang Lexuan swung her spear, a silver hue burst and pierced the Extraterrestrial Dragons. Two red spirit rings appeared, signifying the amount of spirit rings she had absorbed for her second martial soul. "Two 100,000 years old spirit rings." From afar, Ma Xiaotao looked at this with jealousy on her face. Ma Xiaotao isn''t dumb, so it was clear that Zhang Lexuan got those Spirit Rings from Huo Yuhao. She pouted andined inwardly, "Yuhao only helped me get a ck spirit ring. How unfair." And with that, Ma Xiaotao began to bombard the Extraterrestrial Race with her mutated Origin Phoenix Martial Soul. Well, She''s not any weaker than Zhang Lexuan because the God yer(Scathach) has taught her for a few months. The teachers were speechless. Since when did these two be so strong? They reached Title Douluo''s strength despite having a lower cultivation base. Let''s not mention Zhang Lexuan, who got an immense strength boost a while ago. Ma Xiaotao''s blinding performance alone caused Fan Yu(He Caitou and Luo Xing''s mentor) from the Soul Guidance Department to feel embarrassed. Fan Yu is a Level 8 Soul Guidance Master with a cultivation base of peak Spirit Sage. Still, he couldn''tpete with Ma Xiaotao. "Just what did Yuhao do to these girls..." Fan Yu and others questioned the reality. Even Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo felt this was too much of an improvement. One minute passed, and the Shrek Seven Devils pushed back from their position. The Extraterrestrial Race on their side bes more aggressive as time passes, and ordinary strategy doesn''t work again. Bei Bei frowned andmanded, "Crossing Webs Formation!" Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao simultaneously retreated from the front lines and moved closer to Bei Bei''s position. The same goes for He Caitou and Luo Xing, sealing their backside with Spirit Cannons. Then, a hexagonal patterned web with Bei Bei and Luo Xing in the middle is ''quickly'' formed. You might wonder why the two are inside instead of the others. Well, Luo Xing finally revealed her martial soul. It was a spider with metal armor all over it. It looks like a mechanical creature, but everything about it is organic. Four spirit rings manifested around Luo Xing. They are yellow, yellow, purple, and ck. Bei Bei clenched his teeth and used thetent power of his bloodline. His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon transformed into a Light Holy Dragon like Mu En did when fighting Huo Yuhao. Of course, Bei Bei''s Light Holy Dragon is not surprisingly weaker because he hasn''t fully awakened his bloodline, and his cultivation base iscking. Even then, Bei Bei''s transformation allowed him to wield the Holy Lightning Elements. Golden lightning crackled as Bei Bei infused his power into Luo Xing''s martial soul. It is not Spirit Fusion but a simple strengthening because Luo Xing''s attributes are metal and lightning. Luo Xing bore the pain from the lightning and whispered, "10,000 Years Old Spirit Skill: Thunder Cross Barrier." All Luo Xing''s spirit energy depleted, and a dome of lightning surrounded the Shrek Seven Devils. Bei Bei''s lightning used and made golden lightning flicker. "Senior He." Luo Xing stretched her arm at He Caitou. He Caitou summoned his martial soul, a cigar. The cigar is a tool-type martial soul and falls into the food-auxiliary category. It can buff one''s attributes, and he made a unique-looking white cigar that allowed Luo Xing to maintain the barrier long enough. As Luo Xing bites the cigar, she closes her eyes and controls the barrier to prevent the Extraterrestrial Race from entering the formation. "Everyone, have one as well." He Caitou made seven more for other Shrek Seven Devils. Bei Bei huffed, "Fight!" The Shrek Seven Devils began their fierce fight with the Extraterrestrial Race again. However, they let them in this time and eliminate everything that enters Luo Xing''s barrier. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Ten seconds. Thirty seconds. Sixty-nine seconds. Eighty seconds. One hundred seconds. "ARGH!" Luo Xing coughed a mouthful of blood as she couldn''t resist Bei Bei''s lighting anymore. The barrier disappeared and left the Shrek Seven Devils to survive on a very tight period. "XING!" Everyone grimaced. Xiao Xiao changed her martial soul and summoned a jade-colored phoenix flute. "Self-created Spirit Skill: Melody of Death!" Intense vibrationse from Xiao Xiao as she releases the sounds of a screaming banshee. The Extraterrestrial Race halted on the spot and almost fell to the ground dead. "18 seconds." Xiao Xiao kept her eyes on the enemy. "17 seconds." Tang Ya used her Blue Silver Grass to immobilize the Extraterrestrial Race. "16 seconds." Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth and raised his shield. "15 seconds." Jiang Nannan teleported Tang Ya from the iing attack. "14 seconds..." Luo Xing wiped the blood off her mouth. "13 seconds." He Caitou kept firing his cannon. "12 seconds." Bei Bei released a domain that swarmed the surrounding area with golden lightning. Wang Dong flew in the air and shouted, "11 seconds, HUO YUHAO HURRY THE FUCK UP!" Huo Yuhao smiled when hearing the shout and operated his Observation Haki to see several seconds into the future. His starry blue eyes glistened with yfulness, "Hang in there." [Ding! Blood Qi has reached level 113] [Ding! Bloody Prayer has reached level 102] [Ding! Curse Counter has reached level 97] Ma Xiaotao also counted the time and mumbled, "Six seconds..." "Five seconds..." Zhang Lexuan retreated, but her hand didn''t stop moving. Everyone increased their paces and ignored their battered bodies. They kept attacking despite having bloody injuries. "Four." "Three." "Two." "One..." Ding! [Heavenly Dao of Death] Huo Yuhao''s calm words echoed, "Any Extraterrestrial Race that moved for the next five seconds..." "Shall die." And like heavenly decree, his words be true. Wails and roars reverberated in the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim as every Extraterrestrial Race died magically. Millions, if not billions, died instantly. Aplete silence ensued. Huo Yuhao stared at the Extraterrestrial Race''s corpses and converted them into his Skill''s Experience. He lifted his head and noticed the ashen eye in the sky be colder than ever. [Ding! A Will of God will descend to the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim] [A Wild God is descending...] ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!!! Chapter 259: How not to Master Monk of Resistance Class (Final) Chapter 259: How not to Master Monk of Resistance ss (Final) --- Chapter 256 --- [Ding! A Will of God will descend to the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim] [A Wild God is descending...] ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!!! An eerie roar shook the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim. As the corpses of the Extraterrestrial Race scattered, shattered, and fell from the sky like raindrops, the ashen eye in the sky glimmered with evilness. The Shrek Academy''s group was stunned. After hearing the rackety eerie roar, they couldn''t move their bodies as if ethereal chains had bound them to the ground. They saw a blue-haired young man walking amidst the silent chaos and felt indescribable feelings in their hearts. Since they couldn''t move or retaliate, theirst opportunity to survive was Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao." Ma Xiaotao was the closest to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nced at Ma Xiaotao and smiled gently, "Take a breather, Xiaotao." "Leave the rest to me." His sheer confidence stunned everyone. However, that''s not what Ma Xiaotao thought when hearing these words. Ma Xiaotao''s eyes widened as she watched Huo Yuhao''s broad back move away. "H-He calls me Xiaotao." "Yuhao calls me Xiaotao, Oh My God~!" Ma Xiaotao''s heart brimmed with joy. Before Ma Xiaotao could even relish her joy, a crack appeared in the grim sky and permitted a skeleton arm covered with vines and leaves to enter the Secret Realm. They wanted to look up, but Huo Yuhao''s voice told them otherwise. "Don''t look up! Or you will lose your eyesight forever." Huo Yuhao ordered while gazing up. "What we are fighting right now is an entity above the Mortal Realm." "Yes, an entity above level 100. A Wild God!" "A Wild God might not have a God''s Seat, but that doesn''t mean it was something a mortal could see. The difference between authority over dimension will cause the weaker one to suffer." "With me around, you don''t have to worry much. But if you face any Wild God in the future and evil in nature. You could experience a fate worse than death." Everyone sucked a cold breath upon listening to Huo Yuhao''s words. [Ding! The ''God of Forest'' has arrived] Crack! BOOM! The crack in the sky shattered with an explosion as a towering creature over one hundred meters tallnded on the ground. It was a four-legged creature, a mix of man, beast, elemental spirit, and dragon. The upper body of a man is ''thoroughly'' covered with tribal tattoos. Its lower half is a stallion with muscr calves connected to vines-covered dragon bones and sharp hooves. The head of an elemental spirit was ''weirdly'' crowned with curved dragon''s horns and surrounded by several elemental particles. Behind its back are countless arm-like ck dragon wings stacked against each other, manifesting this darkness. It looks like a centaur, but it is not a centaur. That''s a hideous creature. Huo Yuhao gazed at the God of Forest''s head, seeing its eyes were a circle with a white dot at the center like a cotton ball burned with evil me permanently. ROOOOOOOOOOOARR!. The God of Forest stomped the ground with its hooves and roared to the sky. Shockwaves rolled beneath the ground, causing sizzlingva to burst out. "So noisy." Huo Yuhao dug his ear in annoyance and released his Conqueror''s Haki. [Conqueror''s Haki: 50%] BOOOOOOOOOM!! A blue aura exploded from Huo Yuhao''s body and shed with the God of Forest''s roar, creating a divergence in space and time just from their sheer presence alone. The Shrek Academy''s group squinted their eyes, watching Huo Yuhao''s back like he was their guardian. Even Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo in the group could only feel reverence. However, they quickly noticed the God of Forest had a slight advantage over this sh. Huo Yuhao smirked and released 69% of his Conqueror''s Haki out of spite, causing the God of Forest''s mind to feel shocked, like a lightning strike striking its body. WREEEEEEEE! A painful wail escaped the God of Forest''s mouth as it stumbled around the secret realm. Huo Yuhao loosened his coat and tied it around his waist. He also took off his shirt, revealing his muscr upper body. A red aura churned from his body this time. Butpared to Huo Yuhao''s Conqueror''s Haki, this aura feels more bloody. Yes, this is Bloody Qi. Of course, there is a reason behind this sudden skin exposure. Since the Monk of Resistance''s body is resistant to elements, exposed skin is akin to a reflective shield. Under everyone''s watchful eyes, Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared near the God of Forest''s head. His arms are darkened, which is the sign of Armament Haki. [Water Stream World Smashing Fist] [You have executed ''Heavenly Punishment''] A massive ck-red pagoda the size of a three-story building suddenly materialized and crashed against the God of Forest''s cheek as Huo Yuhao punched the air. BAM! BREEEEEEE!! The God of Forest wailed again as his whole body flipped and fell to the ground. Heavenly Punishment is the ''basic'' offensive skill the Monk of Resistance should learn in the early stage. It condensed Blood Qi, Bloody Prayer, and Cursed Energy into a ck-red pagoda whose size varies depending on how much energy is ''exclusively'' expended. Usually, the ck-red pagoda''s overall size is around palm''s size when a new Monk of Resistance manifests it for the first time. Blooq Qi is the foundation, Bloody Prayer is the wall, and Cursed Energy is the roof. That''s why one must refine Heavenly Punishment and discover the perfect ratio of three forces. However, Huo Yuhao was an abnormality and even cheated his way to increase the Skill''s Proficiency Level. It was also due to him possessing perfect control over his energy, no matter how overbearing they were. But do you know the most ridiculous part about this offensive ability? Since the Blood Qi, Bloody Prayer, and Cursed Counter(Energy) were ''meticulously'' refined into the Monk of Resistance''s body. Every ck-red pagoda manifested is the extension of Monk of Resistance''s cursed physique! It means every Monk of Resistance''s attack has an ''Extreme Resistance'' and ''Natural Counter'' characteristic. The ss''s description didn''t lie when saying the first Monk of Resistance turned his curse into his power. BOOOM! The God of Forest crashed into the ground heavily. It bleeds not blood but Immortal Qi. As Huo Yuhao sped his hand like a praying monk, ten more ck-red pagodas materialized in the sky. "Eliminate all Evils." His indifferent voice echoed. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! ck-red pagoda fell one after another, drowning the God of Forest in despair. Huo Yuhao''s starry blue eyes glimmered because the God of Forest was close to death. "How boring..." Hemented casually. As if understanding Huo Yuhao''s words, the beast-like God of Forest suddenly stood up and moved at unimaginable speed. The God of Forest''s hooves arrived right before Huo Yuhao''s eyes. Huo Yuhao''s Observation Haki has seen this, and he somehow was still caught off guard because the God of Forest''s movement breached even future sight. For others, the God of Forest looks like it was teleporting. But Huo Yuhao knew it was pure speed. ''Oh, this is better.'' Huo Yuhao thought as the hooves failed him. He''s many times smaller than the God of Forest, after all. BOOM! The failed hoovesnded on the ground, and the God of Forest bizarrely twisted its body. The stallion''s bottom half moved consciously and attacked Huo Yuhao with the back hooves. Huo Yuhao dodged once again. ROAR! A massive fireball, steam of lightning, high-pressure water, and meteor showers rushed toward Huo Yuhao. "Using elements against me is such a huge mistake." Huo Yuhao naturally called the previous ck-red pagodas and set them as a wall to protect himself. BAM! The God of Forest was agitated even more, knowing its attack was ineffective against Huo Yuhao. Light and dark energy pulsated from the God of Forest''s throat as it spitted a burning clump of objects at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao sensed the energy and chuckled, "It is still useless." BAM! To mock the God of Forest, Huo Yuhao pressed the wall and charged forward. He smacked the God of Forest''s body with a strong tackle, causing several whirlwinds to appear. The Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim looks like an apocalyptic area right now. Huo Yuhao is right. The Shrek Academy''s group could only watch in astonishment. It is not a fight of Spirit Masters anymore. It is the fight of GODS! Huo Yuhao pressed the God of Forest and exerted more Blood Qi, Bloody Prayer, and Curse Counter(Energy). He patiently waited till his enemy died from extremepression. Yet a cracked voice reached Huo Yuhao. "D-Dra.... Dragon God..." Lightning descended and struck the God of Forest. The surrounding area was ''abruptly'' overgrown by vines and leaves, giving another form of Extraterrestrial Race a physical appearance. Huo Yuhao frowned because he sensed a bunch of Laws. Besides the fundamental elements, there are Space, Time, Creation, and Destruction. [Ding! The mimicry of ''Dragon God'' has descended] Huo Yuaho blinked in awe, "They can even mimic Dragon God? An existence above Godking?" "Damn." ROAR! The Dragon God roared a beam of nine-colored light. Huo Yuhao''s lips curved into a smile and condensed Blood Qi, Bloody Prayer, and Curse Counter(Energy) into one point. He clenched his hand and threw the ''most powerful'' punch he could do right now. The punch is fast and ''purposely'' high-powered, focused on a single point. A bright red light illuminated the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim. Crunch! The sound of Secret Realm''s dimension cracked and entered everyone''s ear like a crisp getting bitten. [Heavenly Punishment''s Variation: Hollow Hunger] "Nevermind, it is still too weak. I bet the Extraterrestrial Race''s mimicry for Dragon God isn''t even 80%. The real Dragon God shouldn''t be this weak." Huo Yuhao blew air off and watched the Dragon God''s mimicry turn into dust. Behind the disappearing Dragon God''s mimicry is the God of Forest, who has lost 90% of its body. A mental power swept over these Extraterrestrial Races, and Huo Yuhao activated his plundering power. [You have used Small Plundering] [You have plundered Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique(SSS), Imperfect Dragon God''s Authority(SSS), Dragon God''s Spirit Mimicry(SSS)] [You have plundered God of Forest''s Mimicry, Extraterrestrial Race''s Tenacity, Extraterrestrial Race''s Duplicate] Huo Yuhao looked down on the God of Forest, "Heh, that wasn''t as boring as I expected." "I was entertained." At the same time, the essence of the Extraterrestrial Race flowed into Huo Yuhao''s body. [Blood Qi has reached Level 300(Maxed)] [Bloody Prayer has reached level 300(Maxed)] [Curse Counter has reached level 300(Maxed)l [Heavenly Punishment has reached level 269] [Ding! You have finished a Sub-Quest] [You have received Prayer Bead(F)] [Prayer Bead(F) has absorbed the God of Forest''s Power and False Dragon God''s Avatar] [You have unlocked Prayer Bead''s Seals] [Prayer Bead has reached Low-EX grade!] [Ding! You have met the hidden achievement] [Kill a Divine Being with Monk of Resistance''s Power(1/1)] [You have mastered the ''Monk of Resistance'' ss] Uh, this is definitely now How to Master the Monk of Resistance ss. But Huo Yuhao did it anyway. Huo Yuhao brushed some dust off his shoulders and looked back at the Shrek Academy''s Group, "Welp, it''s time to get out of this ce." Chapter 260: Effective Lies, and Rest Chapter 260: Effective Lies, and Rest --- Chapter 257 --- Huo Yuhao looked at the Shrek Academy''s group. They are staring at him like he is an alien or something. Even Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei, who have witnessed Huo Yuhao spar with Mu En, felt his fight with the God of Forest was on another level. If Huo Yuhao''s spar with Mu En was the fight of peak mortals. Then, Huo Yuhao''s short but dimensional-breaking fight with the God of Forest was a Man Against the Gods. The only exceptions are Yang Xin(Scathach) and Qianye Ying''er because they weren''t so surprised about Huo Yuhao''s prowess. They are curious about how he cultivated this new power(Moon''s Piercer and Monk of Resistance). "Okay, stop giving me that look." Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly. "The power I''ve shown earlier was part of Dragon Nest''s Secret Technique." "It''s called God yer Art." ''What a liar!'' Scathach and Qianye Ying''er rolled their eyes. After all, They have been in the Dragon Nest since it was ''literally'' founded. They would know if the Secret Technique that Huo Yuhao executed earlier existed. More so, the God yer Art Huo Yuhao mentioned was ''majorly'' created by the first God yer herself, Scathach. He''d be lying straight on her face, which caused her mouth to twitch in disbelief. "At the cost of burning my lifespan, I can release battle power exceeding my cultivation level. As you can see, I can''t fight for too long." Huo Yuhao added with an innocent face. ''Oh, really? From what I see, you''re ying around with the God of Forest, Yuhao! You look so rxed for someone who burned his lifespan.'' Qianye Ying''er couldn''t believe her ears. Even Huo Yuhao''s Spirit Souls cringed inside the Spiritual World. ''Daddy is so bad...'' Helena mumbled while being hugged by Eluxia. Tian Meng and Bing Di didn''t even have ament for Huo Yuhao. They could only give him 3/10 for his improvisation. As if deflecting all logic, Huo Yuhao''s lies are effective. "What! Dragon Nest possessed such a Secret Technique?" Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo were shocked. "To achieve strength above the Wild God, it must have a lot of restrictions besides burning lifespan." "God yer Art." Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou nced at each other in amazement. From the name alone, they could sense the overbearing nature. Meanwhile, the girls are more worried about Huo Yuhao losing his lifespan. "Yuhao, are you alright?" Zhang Lexuan was the fastest. She is worried for his well-being. Girl, not even an existence Godking could make Huo Yuhao sweat. Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao arrived after Zhang Lexuan, followed by Wang Dong, who had aplicated expression. Huo Yuhao smiled, "I''m fine. I only lost a few years of my lifespans, which were worth it because I can protect all of you." The girls blushed and felt touched by his words. Yes, they couldn''tprehend how a guy like Huo Yuhao existed. Even Huo Yuhao didn''t realize how misleading his lies were, as everything seemed natural. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, the God of Lust''s Position isn''t a simple sex-powered divinity because his charm and personality have changed a little. Of course, Huo Yuhao is still him. He''s just more yboy and free when ites to seducing the opposite gender. Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled something and gathered the Extraterrestrial Race''s essence. Since the Shrek Academy''s group has done their task wonderfully, they deserve these essences, which is the reward of this Secret Realm. Huo Yuhao split the massive glob of essence and sealed them onto their bodies. "That''s the Extraterrestrial Race''s essence, which could strengthen one''s physique and bloodline." "It also has a huge chance to transform your Martial Soul." "I''ve split them equally and sealed them into your bodies, so absorb it at your own pace." "Trust me, you will see a miraculous change." Everyone in the Shrek Academy''s group gasped in shock as absorbing a tiny portion of the Extraterrestrial Race''s essence allowed them to feel an immense energy in their bodies. This immense energy is a beacon of light, causing their bodies and blood to advance higher. They couldn''t help but smile in excitement. The pain and horror they went through were actually worth it. After that, Huo Yuhao also healed them with the Heavenly Dao of Life. ... They only stayed in the Yin-Yang in of the Lush Grim for less than ten minutes, but the time outside indicated the sun was about to go down. "How can this be?" They were shocked. Even Huo Yuhao found the time dtion a little ridiculous. ''I have to find a way to modify this Secret Realm somehow. This ce is a literal strategic resource.'' Huo Yuhao thought while rubbing his chin. He nced at Scathach and Qianye Ying''er and found the thoughtful expression on their faces. It seems they are thinking the same thing. "Everyone, I will seal this Secret Realm off." Huo Yuhao suddenly said. "You have seen how dangerous this ce was, so we couldn''t let the Extraterrestrial Race have a taste of the outside world..." "Wait, I thought you had killed the Wild God?" Wang Dong couldn''t help but question him. Everyone was also puzzled by Huo Yuhao''s words. Huo Yuhao gave them a funny look and chuckled, "What I killed was the Secret Realm''s spirit, which controls the ce. However, the Secret Realm won''t die even if we killed the Wild God." "After all, this ce is a Heavenly Treasure formed by the condensation of worldly essence." Xuan Zi''s eyes lit up, "So you mean the Extraterrestrial Race will slowly recover?" "Yup." Huo Yuhao nodded. "But I don''t know how long it would take, maybe a year or a decade." "To be honest, Tang Sect''s disciples should know more as you guys possessed information about a certain Heavenly Treasure like this." Tang Ya opened her little mouth and answered softly, "A-About that, we lost the record about it..." "..." Huo Yuhao. Thank Gods. The Quest''s Reward gave him the location of the Sunset Forest, where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well exists, not Tang Ya. Tang Ya was embarrassed, "Stop judging me with that gaze, uugh." "Tang Sect has been declining in the past hundred years. We barely met this year''s goal and recruited new members, if not for those despicable people..." Everyone could hear deep, sinister hatred in Tang Ya''s voice for a split second. But Tang Ya quickly covered it and added, "Yuhao, the current Tang Sect is just an antpared to your Dragon Nest." Huo Yuhao smiled at her response, "Then, you must work hard, Senior Tang. For your Tang Sect and unsolvable wishes." "We will do it together." Bei Bei grasped Tang Ya''s soft hand. Tang Ya''s eyes became watery as she nodded, "Mm." "Good, let''s seal this Secret Realm and resume our journey. We are really a littlete in our schedule." Huo Yuhao said with a smile. Huo Yuhao tightly sealed the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim with threeyer of Primordial Runes and summoned another All-Terrain Mobility Car, so they could continue their journey to the Sky Feather City. On their way there, the Shrek Seven Devils and Teacher fell asleep due to excessive mental fatigue. They have witnessed a world-breaking event in the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim. Huo Yuhao might have healed their battered bodies, but he couldn''t do the same for their mentality. "Pfft." Qianye Ying''er giggled when she saw sleeping Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao pressing themselves against Huo Yuhao. They are sleeping very daringly on his shoulders. "Don''tugh..." Huo Yuhao helplessly sighed. "Serve you right, running your mouth." Scathach snorted at him. "Whatever." Huo Yuhao shook his head and finally decided to check his loot. However, Huo Yuhao was speechless when he skimmed over the plundered loot and rewards. "Woah, this is amazing." Chapter 261: Sky Feather City Chapter 261: Sky Feather City --- Chapter 259 --- Sky Feather City. The next day. Huo Yuhao meditated with eyes closed before the window of Dreamy Goose Hotel''s room and sighed in relief. After checking in, Huo Yuhao didn''t sleep like others and reviewed his new skills instead. Mainly the Dragon God''s Skills. After observing how the Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique acted upon activation, Huo Yuhao noticed his vitality and dragon''s energy condensed into every drop of blood inside his body, which simrly turned into pure power. It followed this continuous sequence, starting from his spinal cord, then his bones, marrows, and eventually every drop of blood. This process is the opposite of human cultivation since it cultivates one''s own blood to raise potential and strength. But even more than that, this evolution process will temper one bloodline into making each drop of blood contain energy equal to a Divine Weapon. Unfortunately, it also has a high requirement of bloodline. A ''normal'' bloodline won''t cut it because of the explosive nature of this method. One small mistake and one''s body would explode. ording to Huo Yuhao''s brief analysis, only people like Scathach, Ophis, Great Red(Rose), Tiamat, Albion, Ddraig, Vali Lucifer, Grayfia, Gabriel, Yae, Huo Yun''er, and overall pure-blooded entities could replicate the Dragon God''s Physique Sequence. On top of that, the blood cycle of the Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique is defective because of the Extraterrestrial Race''s mimicry limitation. Still, Huo Yuhao is confident he can deduce the lost parts. After all, Huo Yuhao is also a master when ites to manipting his blood because he has multiple strong bloodlines. Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao was about to discover the Dragon n''s Lost Cultivation Method. A Cultivation Method that the Dragon God invented and used to be the strongest in his era. Now you might wonder, why didn''t Huo Yuhao upgrade Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique? The short answer is he can''t because upgrading a wed product is just asking for disaster. At the very least, he had to improve the Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique first. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao gradually opened his eyes. He looked at the window and felt a gentle sunlight brushing his face. "As expected, the 20% w is quite difficult to cover." "Let''s stop for now." Huo Yuhao stood up and went to the shower. He hasn''t cleaned himself after exercising a little yesterday. ... After showering, Huo Yuhao put on fresh clothes and went down to the lobby. To his surprise, he couldn''t find any of Shrek Academy''s people and used his Divine Sense to spot them. "Well..." Huo Yuhao discovered most of them sprawling on the bed. They are probably dead tired from dealing with the Extraterrestrial Race''s endless wave. He smiled and shook his head helplessly. He changed his n and went to Qianye Ying''er and Scathach''s room. After some flirting, they dragged him to the Sky Feather City''s za and had a short date there. Sky Feather City is a bustling city where wandering merchants and spirit masters would stop and restock their necessities. Since it was a couple hundred miles away from the open sea and two settlements from the Star Luo Empire, this ce is suitable as a resting ce. Due to the Dragon Nest using Java Ind to host the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament, Huo Yuhao spotted several academies and sects resting at Sky Feather City. It seems Shrek Academy is not the only one who used this route. Even knowing this, Huo Yuhao didn''t expect to meet a group of acquaintances this fast. "Yuhao, I didn''t expect to meet you here~!" Said the Princess of Star Luo Empire with a smile on her face upon catching Huo Yuhao at a steamed bun stall. Huo Yuhao was chewing on a hot steamed bun when Xu Jiujiu and her group greeted him. In return, he coughed a few times and washed it with soy milk that Qianye Ying''er handed to him. Xu Jiujiu blinked her eyes in surprise and frowned inside. Now that she observed again, Huo Yuhao was ''actually'' apanied by two beautiful young women. One is a cold beauty with flowing purple hair and red eyes. Not only is this suddenpetitor taller than Xu Jiujiu, but she also has this profound, oppressive aura around her. As for the other young woman, Xu Jiujiu has never seen such a pure-looking girl in her entire life. Those pearly eyes, snow-like skin, and long golden hair overwhelmed her. She knew someone with simr attributes, but Qianye Ying''er was like an angel descending to the mortal world. Xu Jiujiu maintained her calm and smiled at Huo Yuhao, waiting for his response. "Morning, princess. I didn''t expect to meet you this soon." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile. He looked behind and saw two more familiar faces. Kuroka and Koneko awkwardly gazed back at Huo Yuhao. Ever since they held an inside tournament between the people from the Draconic Deus, the Nekoshou Sisters have been roaming around the Douluo Continent. It was not until two weeks ago they came in contact with the Princess of Star Luo Empire and effectively joined her team. They enjoyed their time but didn''t expect to meet Huo Yuhao here. ''Nyaahalo, Yuhao~!'' Kuroka sent him a sound transmission. Huo Yuhao sighed inside, ''So, this is your chosen team?'' ''Yup, Jiujiu is such a good host, you know? We saved her from a spirit beast, and she immediately recruited us.'' Kuroka giggled in return. Meanwhile, Koneko just stared at Huo Yuhao with bright eyes. She didn''t expect to meet him this soon. But this is also a good thing for her. Huo Yuhao was genuinely surprised by Kuroka''s story. Who would have thought after he saved Xu Jiujiu a month ago, she would fall into yet another problem? He stared at Xu Jiujiu and invited her casually, "What about breakfast, princess?" "Oh, sure." Xu Jiujiu responded happily. But before that, Xu Jiujiu ordered her team to check something first, which left only her and the Nekoshou Sisters. The Star Luo Empire''s Princess probably hadn''t realized that Kuroka and Koneko weren''t humans. They went to a nice restaurant on the za and ordered some warm yet light food. Huo Yuhao sat with Scathach and Qianye Ying''er, and Xu Jiujiu sat on the opposite side with the Nekoshou Sisters. As they waited for breakfast, Xu Jiujiu noticed the absence of Shrek Academy''s people. "I thought you would go with Shrek Academy?" She asked in confusion. "I did, but they are tired because of yesterday''s event." Huo Yuhao replied with a chuckle. "They are currently recovering at the Dreamy Goose Hotel." "I see..." As much as Xu Jiujiu wanted to know what happened, she decided not to pry further. The breakfast arrived, and they enjoyed it while talking about mundane things. Sometimes, Xu Jiujiu would mention that she had prepared a secret weapon to surprise him in the tournament. Huo Yuhao didn''t think much of it. What kind of weapon could possibly surprise him? The Star Luo Empire is not that strongpared to the Dragon Nest. Well, everyone has a great time. And that''s all that matters. Shortly after, some people from Xu Jiujiu''s side arrived at the restaurant and approached her. A person whispered something to the princess and made her frown a little. Xu Jiujiu wiped her mouth with a napkin and said sadly, "There was an inconvenience on my side. It''s sad to part ways this fast, but thanks for the breakfast, Yuhao." "By the way, I''ve paid the bills." "If we crossed the road againter, I''d be the one who invites you next time." She added with a wink. After saying that, she left with her group. Kuroka and Koneko said farewell to Huo Yuhao before following Xu Jiujiu out of the restaurant. Watching them go away like that, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, "What kind of inconvenience made her this hurry?" "Why ask, we don''t know?" Scathach didn''t even bother and enjoyed her breakfast. "It''s not like we are close to that ttery princess..." "Yup." Qianye Ying''er agreed with Scathach. "My bad for asking..." Huo Yuhao''s lips twitched. "Anyway, I noticed Kunou isn''t around Kuroka and Koneko. Where is that little fox?" Qianye Ying''er tilted her head, "You don''t know? Yae has taken Kunou as her disciple, so she stayed on the main base with her." "What, That cunning fox took Kunou in? Isn''t this just the same as tainting her innocence..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. Scathach chuckled at his shocked expression, "Don''t worry. That fox might be degenerate, but her skill is clear and suitable for a nine-tailed fox like Kunou." Huo Yuhao sighed, "I hope so." Chapter 261: Prayer Bead, and Powerful Skills Chapter 261: Prayer Bead, and Powerful Skills (AN: I Uploaded The Wrong Chapter Earlier, My Bad, hehe~!) --- Chapter 258 --- Huo Yuhao''s gaze locked on the system panel. Even though he had been staring for a full minute, he was still amazed by the descriptions. It felt like he was blessed by the Goddess of Luck herself. Of course, Huo Yuhao attributed this more to his God of Fortune''s seat and his extreme luck. Being a Radiant Epoch is no joke! ...

Huo Yuhao honestly doesn''t know what to say. Firstly, he was surprised that the Monk of Resistance ss was unlike the Moon''s Piercer ss. After all, he hasn''t received any memory rted to the legacy. He asked Evo earlier, and the system told him there are many Monks of Resistance throughout the history of the Omniversal Order. Those previous generations even built the Godly Resistance Constetion. Their legends started differently than Xerges Dourgont. Even then, Huo Yuhao somewhat understood why. Monk of Resistance ss/Legacy is overall solid with a deep background, but it wasn''t as etched or tragic as Moon''s Piercer ss/Legacy. It also has something to do with the one who made the legend. Although Monk of Resistance''s legend is heart-touching, disying the struggling boy''s rise into a prominent existence. Meanwhile, Moon''s Piercer''s legend is dark and full of sorrow. A lonely man stood atop after losing everything and rising into prominence. Unlike Monk of Resistance, Moon''s Piercer is acknowledged by the Great Omniversal Will as he obtained the Silver Star of Destruction title. Most importantly, the Prayer Bead is a powerful Divine Tool like Heroes'' Sacrificial Bow: Jerna. Huo Yuhao''s attention focused on the plundered skills and abilities next. He was ''honestly'' dumbfounded by Extraterrestrial Race''s ability to mimic things. Even though this ability is imperfect, that doesn''t make it horrible. On the contrary, the drawback allowed Huo Yuhao to improve it. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao obtained the Dragon God''s traits indirectly by entering the Yin-Yang in of Lush Grim. He wanted to develop Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Martial Soul more, and these new traits would help him. Huo Yuhao checked the Imperfect Dragon God''s Authority and noticed itcked Space and Destruction Elements. These lost elements are part of Naga''s legacy, which means they are perfect for each other. With that in mind, Huo Yuhao began to develop some cultivation paths. He didn''t even realize the All-Terrain Mobility Car had arrived at their destination. ... Upon arriving at the Sky Feather City, Yang Xin(Scathach) and Qianye Ying''er yawned in delight. They looked at Huo Yuhao and noticed he had this foolish grin on his handsome face. ''Did something good happen to him?'' They thought simultaneously. Scathach is a woman who wouldn''t beat around the bush, so she gave Huo Yuhao a flick on the forehead and snapped him from his deep thoughts. Huo Yuhao blinked and rubbed his forehead, "What was that for?" "Nothing. You seem to be in your own world for a while now. I bet you get or learn something good, right?" Scathach coyly said. Huo Yuhao smiled and shared the new abilities he obtained with Scathach and Qianye Ying''er. Their eyes widened upon listening to his ridiculous description. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er thought they had be more ''powerful'' after their journey to another world. At the very least, they believed they had caught up to his base power. But no, this man just exceeded their expectations again and again! Even though Scathach and Qianye Ying''er are happy, it would be a lie if they didn''t feel a little helpless. It seems they have to train more and cannotze around. "Hmm?" Zhang Lexuan felt Huo Yuhao''s movement and opened her eyes sleepily. "We have reached the Sky Feather City?" Ma Xiaotao and others also awakened, rubbing their eyes in exhaustion. Huo Yuhao smiled at this sight and said, "Let''s check into our hotels first." "We can do other things in the morning." Everyone agreed to his suggestion and left the All-Terrain Mobility Car for their reserved hotel room. After this, everyone went into a deep sleep and would wake upte in the afternoon. Chapter 263: The 69th Ranked Carving Knife Chapter 263: The 69th Ranked Carving Knife --- Chapter 260 --- After having breakfast with the Star Luo Empire''s Princess, Huo Yuhao and thedies continued their date around the Sky Feather City. They went to a shopping district and bought some clothes, which he had to carry as the only man in the group. Thankfully, Qianye Ying''er and Scathach''s taste in clothing is very particr, or else they would have bought a whole boutique. As the twodies browsed through the merchant''s rare clothes, he was attracted to Luck Qi nearby. It was small and dimmerpared to his Luck but shining brightly in the pile of random goods. Huo Yuhao dug through the useless goods and discovered a worn-out copper ring. At first nce, this ring is nothing special, but he could see more because he was the God of Fortune. If Huo Yuhao owned this ring, it could lead him to a rare treasure. "How much for this ring?" He asked the merchant. The merchant was a middle-aged woman wearing a clean brown robe and green hood. She nced at the worn-out copper ring and said, "Three copper coins." "What about their dress?" He pointed at Scathach and Qianye Ying''er. "Ten golds." She answered tly, leaving no room to bargain. "..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. The contrast in their shopping cost is somewhat overwhelming. Then, again, Huo Yuhao only bought a worn-out copper ring, while Qianye Ying''er and Scathach bought three to five sets of silk garments. Handing the money to the merchant helplessly, Huo Yuhao and the twodies left the shopping district leisurely. They also stopped by food stalls from time to time and ordered some food for Shrek Academy''s people. They must have extreme hangovers after yesterday''s intense fight. Someone crashed into Huo Yuhao and apologized, "Sorry." But not even a secondter, that person disappeared into the crowds. "Seriously, it''s not even an hour yet." Huo Yuhao patted his pocket and chuckled because his Luck''s effect was too damn strong. Not only did he get pickpocketed, but the thief also stole his worn-out copper ring. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er obviously noticed the tant pickpocketing in the middle of the day and stared at Huo Yuhao weirdly. At his level, a pickpocketer shouldn''t be able to touch him. Huo Yuhao smiled and exined, "I let it happen." "Follow me. I want to see what that thief had for me." Scathach and Qianye Ying''er nced at each other before following Huo Yuhao with some curiosity. They arrived at the small alley and saw the thief sitting above a wooden box with a smile. "One hundred golds, not bad." The thief said while throwing and catching Huo Yuhao''s pouch he stole a few moments ago. "Obviously, it''s one hundred golds. You can live up to three years in the countryside without worrying about money." A voice suddenly appeared beside the thief. The thief awkwardly moved his gaze to the wooden box beside him and saw Huo Yuhao casually sitting with a meat skewer in his hand. "Yo!" Huo Yuhao greeted like he was the thief''s acquaintance. Yet the thief felt nothing but horror at the moment. The thief wanted to run away, sprawling off the wooden boxes and crashing into an invisible wall. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "You can''t run away. Don''t worry, Thief Bro. I will spare your life if you have something interesting for me." The thief cursed his damned Luck because he pickpocketed someone he couldn''t afford to offend. When he sees Huo Yuhao, his first thought is this handsome young master deserves to get robbed. He was also jealous when seeing Scathach and Qianye Ying''er with Huo Yuhao, so he wanted to teach the handsome young master a life lesson. However, who would have thought that his impulsive thought bit him back on the ass? The thief suddenly kowtowed and smacked his head against the ground three times. "Please, please spare my life, oh great master!" "I will return your money. No, I will even add all my money to you!" Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "I don''t need the money." "You stole from me, and I got something in return? Isn''t that fair?" His blue eyes spotted something interesting that belonged to the thief. The thief felt Huo Yuhao''s gaze and hesitantly pulled a knife case out of his sleeve. Huo Yuhao could tell the connection between the worn-out copper ring and the knife case and nodded in satisfaction. The knife case has ten times more Luck Qi, though. "Thank you for the gift." Huo Yuhao grabbed the knife case and left the alleyway. The thief was sweating buckets and immediately ran away. He didn''t dare to stay in the alleyway any longer. From now on, he wouldn''t dare to pickpocket someone like Huo Yuhao, even if he was jealous. ... Scathach and Qianye Ying''er watched the thief leave hastily but were still puzzled by Huo Yuhao''s action. They stared at the knife case in his hand and frowned because they could sense Luck Qi inside it. "You went through all that for a knife?" Scathach squinted her red eyes as she also sensed a bloodthirsty presence from the knife case. "It also cursed. Do you want me to purify it?" Qianye Ying''er added while raising her hand, which glows with a golden gleam. Huo Yuhao fiddled with the case, "Wait a minute." After opening the case, Huo Yuhao slowly pulled a 27-centimeter-long knife with a red de and gray handle. It has an ominous dak-red aura and intense resentment toward something. On the hilt, three characters were ''meticulously'' carved in. Underworld Killing Impulse! [Name: Underworld Killing Impulse] [Type: Carving Knife/Weapon] [Grade: S+] [Description: A Carving Knife made with gnawing mineral that swallowed living flesh and drunk blood. It has killed so many souls and developed property that stole life energy but has yet to mature because of the wielder''s low skill] [Can be used as a melee weapon and Carving Knife to construct Soul Guidance Weapon''s arrays] [Underworld Killing Impulse is ranked 69th in the Douluo Continent''s Carving Knife Leaderboard] "Ranked 69th? Nice." Huo Yuhao didn''t expect him to get a jackpot. The thief probably thought this knife was a little cooler and more powerful than others, but there is much secret to it. Not to mention, Underworld Killing Impulse can steal life energy like the Carving Knife that the original Huo Yuhao obtained in the auction. Still, Underworld Killing Impulse is inferior because of the material and the maker''s low achievement in weapon making. Even then, Huo Yuhao was confident he could turn this Carving Knife into a god-ying weapon. He possessed Divine cksmith ss, Pagma''s Incarnation, after all. Before that, Huo Yuhao needed to purify the Underworld Killing Impulse first. After that, he might choose another Divine-grade ss to master rted to knife-wielding. "Purify this for me, Ying''er." Huo Yuhao handed the Carving Knife to his lover. Qianye Ying''er nodded and picked up the Carving Knife. She draws a bit of her Divinities and uses them to cleanse the corrupted weapon. The bloodthirsty Carving Knife has be tamer and somehow regained a crimson de. Checking the system panel, Huo Yuhao discovered that Underworld Killing Impulse has gained ''Light Attribute'' due to Qianye Ying''er. "Thank you." Huo Yuhao received the Carving Knife back and caressed the de with his finger. "You''re wee." Qianye Ying''er was more than happy to use her power for him. They returned to the Dreamy Goose Hotel and met with the disgruntled Shrek Academy''s people in the Longue. "We bought food for you guys." Huo Yuhao ced piles of food on the table. "Eat it, and recover some energy." "Thank you, Yuhao..." They tried to sound excited. Well, they are still tired. Zhang Lexuan rubbed her eyes and stuffed dumplings into her mouth. She nced at Huo Yuhao and wondered how he stayed energized after fighting the God of Forest. Huo Yuhao''s stamina made Zhang Lexuan think deeply. ''If we did it, can Ist long enough?'' Zhang Lexuan''s mind somehow went into a lewd territory. Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao also thought simr things. But they decided to bury it with food. So, the threedies were blushing while eating. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao didn''t pay much attention to them as he yed with his new toy. He also decided on the next Divine-grade ss to master. [Ding! You have chosen a new ss to master] [Abyssal Reaper] Chapter 264: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper Class (1) Chapter 264: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper ss (1) --- Chapter 261 --- Everyone rested at the Sky Feather City for two days. The first day to rx from the exhausting fight, and the second day to familiarize themselves with their harvests. The effect of the Extraterrestrial Race''s essence is absolutely mind-blowing! Some try to enhance their physique and bloodline with it, but some are more straightforward by refining the Extraterrestrial Race''s essence with their martial souls. Well, no matter what choices were ''fearlessly'' made, it was a gain that might change the result of the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament. Of course, Huo Yuhao didn''t stay idle all this time. He has chosen a new Divine-grade ss to master, Abyssal Reaper. [ss: Abyssal Reaper] [Type: Bringer(Assassin''s Origin)] [Grade: Divine] [Description: The guide of light and darkness, Abyssal Reaper exists when justice and evil prevail too long without end. To put an end to everyone''s misery, a man who had nothing carried worn-out daggers and began his first step to be Legendary Assassin] [every time Abyssal Reaper appears to the world, everyone remembers this line,"One dagger to end a Man, two daggers to end a Dragon, and three daggers to end Gods and Demons!"] The introductions weren''t as exaggerated as Monk of Resistance ss, but thatst line was definitely cold. Huo Yuhao didn''t expect much from an Assassin-type ss because he was an assassin in his previous life. But here he was, sitting on the floor with the familiar routine of cleaning his assassination tools. Oh, yeah. Since this Divine-grade ss needed multiple daggers(at least three) to master, Huo Yuhao grabbed an unused dagger in his Azure Emperor Vault and made a new one with Pagma Incarnation''s ss. He also upgraded Underworld Killing Impulse a little, polishing it. Here are their descriptions. ... [Name: Underworld Killing Impulse] [Type: Carving Knife/Weapon] [Grade: SS+] [Description: A Carving Knife made with gnawing mineral that swallowed living flesh and drunk blood. It has been purified by the Holy Goddess and further refined by the Divine cksmith, which caused its hidden potentials and abilities to be unlocked] [Underworld Killing Impulse is ranked 69th in the Douluo Continent''s Carving Knife Leaderboard before, but now it can even enter the top five ranks] [Innate Effects: +100% Lifesteal, 110% chance of inflicting Bleeding Debuff(Stackable)] [Innate Skills: Blood and Flesh Carving, Ghostly Form, Yin-Yang Severing] ... [Name: Frost Saintess''s Short Sword] [Type: Short Sword/Weapon] [Grade: SS+] [Description: A legend said that the Ice Elven Race has many Queens but only one Saintess. Not only was the Frost Saintess a great beauty, but her fighting prowess was second to none in the Frost World. Her favorite choice of weapon is a light short sword made of the Heavenly Ice and Frost World''s Tree''s Inner Roots] [Frost Saintess''s Short Sword was said to be blessed by the Frost World''s essence itself, allowing the wielder to move like a wind and freeze the enemy for eternity] [Innate Effects: +150% Movement Speed, 70% chance of inflicting Freezing''s Debuff(Stackable)] [Innate Skills: Frost Saint''s War Dance, Ice Punishment, Death by Sheer Cold] ... [Name: Sky Poison Dagger] [Type: Dagger/Weapon] [Grade: SS+] [Description: Made with a replica of Sky Poison Pearl, this green dagger is longsting and ''extremely'' poisonous. It retains 50% of Sky Poison Pearl''s powers(including infinite inner space, poison generation, and purification), which is still very powerful to a certain extent] [Innate Effects: Immunity to 10,000 Poisons, 300% chance of inflicting random Poison Debuff(Stackable)] [Innate Abilities: Infinite Inner Space, Clean Cut, God ying Poison(Imperfect)] ... Huo Yuhao upgraded the Ice Elven Queen''s Dagger into Frost Saintess''s Short Sword with his Upgrading Ticket. As for the Sky Poison Dagger, he made it by replicating the Sky Poison Dagger into the shape of a dagger. Of course, Sky Poison Pearl won''t cut it. So, Huo Yuhao added some rare materials he never touched to his inventory. He had too many of them. Huo Yuhao kept the Underworld Killing Impulse in his sleeve. Meanwhile, Frost Saintess will get stored inside Sky Poison Dagger as an element of surprise. "I''m almost done with weapons. Next is skill." He clicked some system panels and checked Abyssal Reaper''s skills. [Opening Abyssal Reaper''s Skill List...] [Hidden Weapon Mastery Lv. Max] [Hidden Weapon Making Lv. Max] [Abyssal Breathing Technique Lv. Max] [Abyssal Steps Lv. 69] [Abyssal Body Lv. 50] [Light de Lv. 40] [Dark de Lv. 40] [Twilight de Lv. 20] [Three Lives, Three Daggers Lv. 5] [Breathe of Abyssal Death Lv. 1] [Severing Immortality Lv. 1] Huo Yuhao has mastered some of Abyssal Reaper''s fundamental skills, such as Hidden Weapon Mastery and Abyssal Breathing Technique because he had experience in such a field. Some advanced skills aren''t hard to master, but the three ultimate skills are like thorns on his path. [Three Lives, Three Daggers(Active)] [Swiftly draw three hidden weapons(or more) andbine them into one deathly strike] [Breathe of Abyssal Death(Active)] [Release Abyssal ne''s aura into reality and weaken the enemy''s strength, defense, and speed by 500%] [Severing Immortality(Active)] [Bring out the ''strongest'' momentum within oneself and sever the target''s life at the cost of the caster''s life. When executed perfectly, Severing Immortality will cause irresistible death] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched because the description of these skills was too misleading. Even if Huo Yuhao executed the ultimate skills, he couldn''t bring 100% of their effect. It''s not because Huo Yuhao was dumb or anything. On the contrary, it was because mastering the Abyssal Reaper ss must need to fit ''certain'' criteria. That ''certain'' criteria is such a headache. "Evo, can you issue a quest rted to Abyssal Reaper?" Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to waste his time, so he asks for help. [Okay, Host] Evo replied positively. [Wait a moment...] [...] [Ding! The system has issued a mini quest] [Name: Assisting des] [Objective: Develop assisting skills(Coordination, Domain, Life) and for Abyssal Reaper''s Ultimate Skills(0/3)] [Time Limit: None] [Penalty: None] [Reward: 10x Silver Upgrading Ticket] [Do you want to ept the mini-quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao pressed ''Yes'' without hesitation. Evo has given him the clues, so all Huo Yuhao needs to do is develop Coordination, Domain, and Life Skills. Knock! Knock! As Huo Yuhao was ''slowly'' immersed in his thoughts, two gentle knocks on his hotel room''s door awakened him. "Yuhao, we are going to the port now." Xiao Xiao''s voice ising from the other side of the wall. "Are you ready?" Huo Yuhao sighed, "Slowly, Yuhao. Slowly." "I''m ready. Wait for a minute." He shouted while cleaning himself. He wore his coat and opened the door, spotting Xiao Xiao in her green dress. Xiao Xiao had a cheeky smile as she twirled on the spot, "What do you think?" Huo Yuhao smiled, "It looks good on you." "Hehe, I''m d you like it." "Wanna see what''s beneath this dress?" Xiao Xiao suddenly blurted without shame. She even winked at him when saying those words. "Uh, maybeter." Huo Yuhao was ''actually'' caught off guard for a second. Xiao Xiao giggled because seeing Huo Yuhao flustered for once was not as bad as she thought. After Zhang Lexuan''s confession, Xiao Xiao has devised a new method to be Huo Yuhao''s girlfriend. Yes, she tried to be more aggressive. No, passive Yandere anymore! ... Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao met with others at the Sky Feather City''s exit gate. They have been waiting for a while now. "Sorry for the wait. I''m ready now." Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile. "Let''s go to the port." "It''s fine." "We understand." "Hehe, let''s fucking go~!" Using an All-Terrain Mobility Car, they moved the seashore and arrived at the Green Hill Port. As the name suggests, this port is ''nicely'' located near a hill of lush grasnd. The scenery here is better than most ports Huo Yuhao has visited. Below it, one could see several ships parked on the busy port. Huo Yuhao nced at Xuan Zi and asked, "Elder, you have reserved a ship for us, right?" Xuan Zi chuckled, "Of course, Shrek Academy is not that shabby that we couldn''t afford a ship." "Follow me. Our ride is near a bar." Everyone followed Xuan Zi to the Green Hill Port and was speechless at the sight of their ship. "U-Um, elder. Don''t tell me we have to ride this?" Someone raised his hand and asked. "Hehe, this is also a form of training." Xuan Zi stood before a wrecked ship proudly. Just one look at the wrecked ship is enough to make people think of themselves as drowning in the sea. "..." Huo Yuhao. He shouldn''t have trusted Shrek Academy when ites to transportation. They are too old-fashioned. He sighed, "All-Terrain Mobility Car, Speed Boat Mode." Xuan Zi and others watched as the All-Terrain Mobility Car expanded and fell onto the sea, transforming into a futuristic Speedboat that could carry more than thirty people. Huo Yuhao pped and said, "Everyone, board the boat!" "I''m your captain now." "Aye, aye, captain!" Everyone jokingly responded. "Nooo!" Xuan Zi dramatically fell to the wooden tform and cried. He wanted to see the new Shrek Seven Devils face hardship a little. Chapter 265: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper Class (2) Chapter 265: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper ss (2) --- Chapter 262 --- A big gray-colored speedboat glided on the ocean and traveled at such a high speed. From afar, the transportation looks like an oversized dagger slicing the surface of seawater. One could see people sitting on the boat''s seats, enjoying the evening ocean breeze. Huo Yuhao sat before the Shrek Seven Devils'' male members and showed them his sleight of hand. "Look at this." Huo Yuhao said while cing three rubber balls on the table and brushing his empty hand over them. Magically, the rubber balls disappeared. "Woah!" Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou were impressed. They didn''t detect any extra moves or tricks when Huo Yuhao did it. ''Why am I here?'' Wang Dong helplessly thought. Since Wang Dong hasn''t revealed her identity as a girl and is ''still'' cross-dressed as a boy, she sat with them on this journey. She grumbled unhappily inside but nced at Huo Yuhao from time to time. Even though he was such an annoying guy, Wang Dong has admitted he was handsome and genius. Everyone she learned about him fear screamed extreme confidence. Yes, he could act calmly in front of danger like the Extraterrestrial Race and sacrifice his lifespan to help them. Like, what kind of woman wouldn''t find that attractive? Thinking about it, Wang Dong blushed and started viewing Huo Yuhao from a different angle. "Wang Dong, are you okay?" Xu Sanshi noticed Wang Dong''s blush. "If you''re feeling unwell, you might want to rest more. I''m still battered from the Secret Realm''s incident." "U-Uh, I''m alright..." Wang Dong responded awkwardly. She tried to hide her blush and buried her face t on the table. Huo Yuhao nced at Wang Dong and mumbled, "No way, right?" "Well, should I continue?" He shook his head and asked the boys. They eagerly nodded and told him to do more magic tricks, leaving Wang Dong speechless. After Huo Yuhao increased his sleight of hand''s operation speed and coordination, Evo finally sent a notification. [Ding! You have developed a passive skill] [Tricky Arm (F)] [Using specific and instantaneous movement, construct a tangible yet invisible arm to assist you in action. With higher proficiency, this passive skill will increase one''s dexterity and attack speed permanently while providing extra arm to fight] A smirk formed on Huo Yuhao''s face because this skill alone had solved Three Lives, Three Daggers'' technicality. "Let''s not stop this." He added the number of rubber balls in his trick and even enhanced the [Tricky Arm] with his Mental Power to make it look puzzling. On the other hand, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Wang Dong were ''extremely'' confused because they couldn''t tell how Huo Yuhao did his trick. It happened before their eyes, but they couldn''t spot the trick. Heck, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi literally used Tang Sect''s Purple Demon Eyes to see through Huo Yuhao''s trick. But still end up with no result. [Ding! Tricky Arm(F) has upgraded due to your rapid progress] [Tricky Arm(F) has be Temporal Arm(C)] [Temporal Arm (C)] [Utilizing rapid movement and mental power to mess with one''s senses, quickly produce a tangible yet invisible arm to assist you in action. With higher proficiency, this passive skill will increase one''s dexterity and attack speed permanently while providing sixteen extra arms to fight] Huo Yuhao didn''t stop as he began to analyze a more efficient way to operate his new passive skill excellently. After a while, he finally raised Temporal Arm''s grade from C to A. He wanted to increase this skill''s grade, but the boys and Wang Dong gave up because he gave them headaches. "Should I use an Upgrading Ticket?" Huo Yuhao pondered while watching the sunset. He frowned and stubbornly decided to raise his Temporal Arm to S Grade at least. The sun slowly descended, and the moon reced it. The temperature began to drop, and everyone on the boat released vapor every time they breathed. Huo Yuhao controlled the All-Terrain Mobility Car to add another barrier while adjusting the atmosphere. "Much better." Everyonefortably sat on their seats. "Thanks, Yuhao!" Tang Ya even gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up. Unfortunately for them, Huo Yuhao has already immersed himself in his world. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er are talking with the girls when they suddenly detect three massive entities approaching their speedboat. Xuan Zi and other Title Douluo meditated silently on the boat, but their eyes were suddenly wide open. "T-Three 100,000 years old Spirit Beasts areing!" The other Title Douluo shouted. Everyone panicked, and Xuan Zi facepalmed. "Don''t shout, for fuck sake. You''re making everyone panic." Xuan Zi smacked his fellow elder on the head. The Title Douluo realized his mistake and weakly responded, "S-Sorry." "Aih, everyone calm down. I will talk with them first." Xuan Zi stood up and jumped off the boat, floating to the iing Spirit Beasts. Xuan Zi hovered above the sea and watched a giant blue octopus, an eel, and a stingray appear with overwhelming presence. Since the 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast is capable of coherent thought, they immediately demand something from Xuan Zi. "Humans, you must offer us something to pass this area!" Said the giant blue octopus. "Give us one of your people, and we will set you free..." Added the eel while squirming on the reed. The stingray didn''t say anything, but its eyes were ''already'' locked on the people aboard the speedboat. "..." Scathach. "..." Qianye Ying''er. Scathach''s face darkened, "They are asking for a beating." "Yeah..." Qianye Ying''er agreed. "I thought we had cleaned the sea routes to Java Ind?" The God yer was ready to throw her Gae Bolg. "Apparently, the increase in sea traffic attracted Ocean Sea Beasts'' attention." Qianye Ying''er pulled up her Dragon Nest''s exclusive phone and gathered information through GIANA''s Network. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er knew that Dragon Nest had guaranteed everyone that the surrounding sea between Java Ind and Douluo Continent was ''purposely'' cleaned from danger. Yet, surprising variables like this still happen. Meanwhile, Xuan Zi''s expression was grim. Even though he was Level 98 Hyper Douluo, simultaneously fighting three 100,000-year-old Spirit Beasts is undeniably challenging. Not to mention, his forte is fighting on thend and not the freaking ocean. He''s in a very disadvantageous situation. "Jian, protect the students!" Xuan Zi roared as his upper robe loosened and a pair of curved red Ox''s Horn appeared on his head. He is also visibly younger, with red tattoos on his shoulders. Two yellow, two purple, four ck, and one red spirit ring manifested around Xuan Zi. The other Title Douluo, Jian Bo, nodded and summoned his martial soul. He cursed because their journey had been chaotic ever since leaving Shrek Academy. Two days ago. They entered a Secret Realm and fought with the Extraterrestrial Race. Now, they encountered three 100,000-year-old Spirit Beasts who wanted to rob and eat them alive. "Fucking hell!" The more Jian Bo thought about it, the more he believed how unlucky they were. Unknown to Jian Bo, their unlucky strike stemmed from the blue-haired young man nearby. The three 100,000-year-old Spirit Beasts were intimidated by Xuan Zi''s strong aura. But they still have advantages over this powerful human. "Don''t you think we need to help them?" Qianye Ying''er leisurely leaned against the rail. Scathach nced at Huo Yuhao and responded, "Let''s wait for a few minutes." Xuan Zi fiercely fought against the three Spirit Beasts, and every time a stray attack passed through his defense, Jian Bo would do his best to repel them away. It continued for a few minutes until Xuan Zi sessfully injured the giant octopus and the eel. "Hateful human!" The giant octopus hatefully said. "My face hurts. This human punches my face!" The eel hissed. Xuan Zi grinned and mocked, "I can punch you guys more." The giant octopus sneered, "Hmph, you''re toote for that!" Xuan Zi finally realized the absence of a 100,000-year-old sting ray and turned around in horror. "JIAN!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. Jian Bo blinked and saw a sharp, dark spear approaching at extreme speed. It targeted his forehead. "Oh no..." He wanted to dodge, but he couldn''t. There are students and teachers behind him. sh! A sharp wind sliced through the atmosphere and split the dark spear into two. "AAAAAAAAARGHHH!" A roar of pain echoed in the sea. The sting ray has lost its tail. BAM! An invisible force followed shortly after and smacked the stingray away from the speedboat. Everyone was confused, but a shadowy mist quickly covered their field of vision. [Ding! You have an active skill] [Hiding in the Abyss (B)] The stingray heard a footstep and saw someone walking on the water. Its eyes widened as a handsome blue-haired young man descended to the battlefield, brandishing his grim reaper''s scythes. Chapter 266: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper Class (3) Chapter 266: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper ss (3) --- Chapter 263 --- Huo Yuhao was meditating on the speedboat. At first, he raised [Temporal Arm] to S-grade after fusing it with the Eternal Shadow Principle, allowing him to create limitless invisible arms to assist him in battle. Of course, he didn''t stop there. He also upgraded [Temporal Arm] with a ck-Gold Upgrading Ticket and raised to SSS grade. Since [Temporal Arm] Skill wasn''t part of Abyssal Reaper''s skillset, he found it all right to make this new skill powerful. [Ding! You have upgraded [Temporal Arm] with 1x ck-Gold Upgrading Ticket] [Your overwhelming luck affecting the result] [You have got an upgraded skill, the''Abyssal Monarch''s Touch(SSS)''] One might think Abyssal Monarch''s Touch was simr to Ruler''s Authority, which could control physical objects without touching them directly or akin to telekinesis. But it is fundamentally different. Abyssal Monarch''s Touchtouched the realm above the physical realm, fourth-dimensional space(Abyssal Domain). It used Ethereal Movements to create invisible afterimages in the higher realm that Huo Yuhao could use freely. Yes, it is a coordination skill that bypasses one''s defense and allows Huo Yuhao to grasp victory with absolute control. As Huo Yuhao immersed himself in the Abyssal Monarch''s Touch, he split his focus to the Domain-type Skill that could help him master Abyssal Reaper''s Second Ultimate Skill. It''s time to develop another skill. Huo Yuhao has many references because he has Domain-type skills like Eternal Shadow Realm, Conqueror''s Haki Domain, Killing Intent Domain, etc. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao could use shows, manga, and novels he enjoyed in his past lives as references. The possibilities are limitless. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao couldn''t be silly-willy about it. He had to create a Domain-type skill that supported and enhanced the Abyssal Reaper ss. Countless hours passed in Huo Yuhao''s mind, and he suddenly detected three 100,000-year-old spirit beasts'' presence approaching the speedboat. Huo Yuhao has finished the framework and the basic premise of his new Domain-type skill. He wanted to test it alongside Abyssal Monarch''s Touch, but who would have sandbags toe and find him? He watched the Titled Douluo Jian Bo put in a difficult spot of receiving a stingray spirit beast''s attack or dodge and let the Shrek Academy''s people die. A weak-willed person with nopassion would have dodged without hesitation. But Jian Bo is not such a person! He stays in his position and even summons his Martial Soul Avatar to protect the people behind him. Even though Shrek Academy is weaker than the Dragon Nest, Huo Yuhao must admit their ability to build one''s valiant character is strong. At least, that''s what Huo Yuhao sees so far. At the same time, Huo Yuhao also noticed that Jian Bo''s Martial Soul is quite unique. It is a giant clear blue sword, seemingly carved out of crystal, about two meters long and half a foot wide. [Name: Seven Wind Sword] [Type: Tool Spirit (Pure Attack Power)] [Grade: S+] [Description: A mutated Seven Kill Sword, Seven Wind Sword allowed its wielder to control wind and possess powerful offensive ability. The only drawback is that the wielder must master extensive swordsmanship to be stronger] ''Oh, so he''s the descendant of Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, 10,000 years ago.'' No wonder Huo Yuhao felt Jian Bo''s Martial Soul Avatar was extraordinary. Jian Bo''s sword transformed into a literal giant and caused a storm to defend against the stingray''s ambush. Unfortunately, the ambush is literally too fast to defend. sh! Before the spirit beast''s ambush could reach its target, Huo Yuhao used Abyssal Monarch''s Touch and created an invisible limb nearby to slice the stingray''s tail. ROAR!! The stingray roared in pain because Huo Yuhao cut its tail in half. And Huo Yuhao didn''t stop there and used the invisible limb to smack the stingray in the face. BAM! The spirit beast was ''strongly'' blown away, flying hundreds of meters from the speedboat. It crashed into a hardened coral reef and wailed in agony. Huo Yuhao blinked in amazement, "All I thought was to swat the stingray away with an invisible arm, but the strength released by the Abyssal Monarch''s Touch actually exceeded my expectations." "As expected of SSS grade skill." "Then, let''s check my other skills." He couldn''t help but chuckle. [Hiding in the Abyss (B)] [Fills the surrounding area with mist-like Abyssal Energy and controls its thickness with one''s mind. Once the mists are thick enough and invade the space, opponents start losing sense of their surroundings] "Hunting a weak prey never felt this amusing to me." Huo Yuhao shook his sleeve gently and pulled out Underworld Killing Impulse while stepping out of the boat. He walked to the 100,000-year-old stingray and used his bloodlust to intimidate it. The stingray trembled upon seeing Huo Yuhao. It struggled against fear and attempted to run, but it was impossible after Hiding in the Abyss activated. "Curse you!" In a moment of panic, the stingray controlled the seawater and attacked Huo Yuhao with several water beams. Weirdly, the water-energy beams passed through Huo Yuhao''s body. [Abyssal Body Lv. 50] [Strengthen one''s body with Abyssal Breathing Technique and fade into existence, rending physical and elemental attacks useless] Huo Yuhao shed and appeared atop the stingray''s head. His left hand gripped Underworld Killing Impulse, ready to stab its target anytime. [Abyssal Steps Lv. 69] [Explode with extreme speed and elerate rapidly, capable of creating afterimage by each level increase] Huo Yuhao swung his Carving Knife and fired a light energy that sliced through the 100,000-year-old spirit beast''s defense. [Light de Lv. 40] [Shot light energy sh that weakens and ignores the enemy''s physical and elemental defense based on Abyssal Reaper''s attack power] Huo Yuhao didn''t stop and began swinging his Carving Knife again. Dark energy fired from his weapon, burning the 100,000-year-old spirit beast''s flesh this time. [Dark de Lv. 40] [Shot dark energy sh that destroys and curses the enemy based on Abyssal Reaper''s mental strength] ROAR!! The stingray shook its body and bounced Huo Yuhao away. A giant sphere of seawater appeared. Huo Yuhao cast a mocking smirk as light and dark energy gathered at the tip of Underworld Killing Impulse. He stabbed the giant sphere of seawater and destroyed it. [Twilight de Lv. 20] [Combine Light de and Dark de to release a Twilight de, which is irresistible as it ignores all defense and protection. The damage caused will be multiplied based on Abyssal Reaper''s attack power and mental strength] A gray light cleaved through the air. It ignored a high, mighty 100,000-year-old spirit beast''s defense and sliced its body into two. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! [Ding! You have killed Wicked Tail Stingray] "That was disappointing." Although Huo Yuhao knew the Abyssal Reaper ss was ''purposely'' focused on high single-target damage, he didn''t expect the Wicked Tail Stingray to be this weak. Well, Huo Yuhao''s perception of strength is rather bizarre. It''s not that the Wicked Tail Stingray is weak, but rather Huo Yuhao was too damned powerful! Even if Huo Yuhao didn''t have his martial soul, spirit skills, or divinities and solely used Abyssal Reaper ss, he forgot to factorize his godly physical strength and mental prowess. Huo Yuhao yanked Wicked Tail Stingray''s tail and refined it with Abyssal Reaper''s power into a hidden weapon on the spot. [You have used Hidden Weapon Making Skill] [Ding! You have made 369 Wicked Tail Daggers] [Ding! Pagma Incarnation ss has blessed Wicked Tails Daggers and raised their grade to S+] Huo Yuhao looked at the piles of ck daggers made from Wicked Tail Stingray''s sting and smiled because he could use them now freely with Abyssal Monarch''s Touch. He gazed ahead and noticed Xuan Zi suppressing two 100,000-year-old spirit beasts with his Godly Taotie Bull''s might. He sneered and spread the Hiding in the Abyss toward them. Xuan Zi is fighting the giant octopus and eel but still pays attention to the speedboat. When he saw the stingray''s ambush, his heart dropped, and then he realized they had Huo Yuhao on their side. "That should be Huo Yuhao." Xuan Zi watched the stingray''s sting sliced in half before reaching the speedboat, and dark mist started covering the surrounding area. He grinned at the two spirit beasts and said, "Too bad for you guys. We have a guardian god on our side." Xuan Zi didn''t realize how true his statement was. The dark mist began spreading to the Xuan Zi area, and he heard Huo Yuhao''s voice. "Go rest, Elder Xuan." "I will deal with them." "Yes..." Xuan Zi sighed in relief. Meanwhile, the giant octopus and eel are panicking because the dark mist messed with their senses. They also felt their overall strength weakened when staying inside the dark mist. "BO!" Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared between the two of them. The spirit beasts hurriedly attacked him, injuring each other because what they attacked was an afterimage. BAM! They crashed into the sea and created a tsunami. Huo Yuhao stepped on the giant octopus''s head and asked, "You''re about to waste 100,000 years'' worth of cultivation age. Do you have anyst words?" "DIE!" The giant octopus was enraged and used all its limbs to attack Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao brought out the Wicked Tail Daggers and whispered, "Three Lives, Three Daggers." With the assistance of Abyssal Monarch''s Touch, Huo Yuhao draws over three hundred hidden weapons andbines them into one deathly strike! Life shed before the giant octopus''s eyes as its limbs mutted into pieces, and a beam of sharpness demolished its head. BOOOOOOOM! [Ding! You have killed a Herculean Great Octopus] Huo Yuhao turned around and stared at the sprawling eel. "S-Spare me..." The eel begged for mercy. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Nope." [You have executed ''Three Lives, Three Daggers!'' Another beam of sharpness materialized, followed by a shriek of unwillingness. BOOOOOOOOOM!! [Ding! You have killed Oceanic Dragon-Eel] "Hmm, that wasn''t a bad test." Huo Yuhao sat on the Oceanic Dragon-Eel''s corpse and rubbed his chin. "The Abyssal Monarch''s Touch has shown its might." "As for Hiding in the Abyss, I can develop it even further." "Thest thing is Life-rted skills." "What should I do..." Huo Yuhao pondered and then facepalmed, "I''m dumb." "I have such a perfect skill to support Severing Immortality all this time." He patted the Oceanic Dragon-Eel''s corpse. "Arise!" Chapter 267: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper Class (4) Chapter 267: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper ss (4) --- Chapter 264 --- [Ding! You have turned Wicked-Tail Stingray, Herculean Great Octopus, and Oceanic Dragon-Eel into your Eternal Shadow Army] Surrounded by three giant spirit beasts'' shadows, Huo Yuhao stared at them indifferently and devised a new skill on the spot. Yes, he finally grasped the concept behind Severing Immortality. Severing Immortality that Abyssal Reaper used at the final, most deciding moment. It''s a forbidden technique that could cause irresistible ''true'' death, even to immortal beings like Gods, Demons, and Buddhas. The reason behind this is very straightforward. Severing Immortality is a sacrificial attack! It sacrifices one''s life to kill. And trades one''s soul for another. The soul part is crucial because the Abyssal Reaper ss required mental power for some reason. At first, it puzzled Huo Yuhao because the Abyssal Reaper ss originated from the Assassin ss. Then, Huo Yuhao''s realization kicked in when developing the Hiding in the Abyss skill. Everything about the Abyssal Reaper screamed an unconventional debuffer than the traditional Assassin ss. "Soul." Huo Yuhao nced at the nearby Stingray Shadow Beast. "So, that''s how it is." He smirked and stored the 100,000-year-old spirit beasts'' corpses in his inventory. As for the red spirit rings, he put them inside Rune Stones and probably shared them with Zhang Lexuan or Ma Xiaotao. He could give it to Xiao Xiao, but her body doesn''t seem able to absorb the might of a 100,000-year-old spirit ring yet. Absorbing it without preparation will lead to negative results and worse death. "Oh, spirit bones..." Huo Yuhao detected two glowing bones in the spirit beasts'' corpses andughed at his immense luck again. Even though there is a very high chance for 100,000-year-old spirit beasts to form spirit bones, the drop rate is still low. Surprisingly, the Wicked-Tail Stingray and Oceanic Dragon-Eel formed left-arm and left-leg spirit bones. Meanwhile, the Herculean Great Octopus doesn''t form spirit bones as it doesn''t have ''real'' bones. This spirit beast developed immense physical strength and decently firm mental power topensate for that w. Unfortunately, it met Huo Yuhao today and met its demise. After storing his loot, Huo Yuhao whistled and began to deactivate the Hidden in the Abyss skill. The thick, dark mist slowly thinned, revealing him walking to the speedboat. "He''s back! Yuhao is back!" Said Xiao Xiao excitedly. Everyone stared at Huo Yuhao, who leisurely walked on the ocean''s surface. Some sighed in relief. Some revered Huo Yuhao. Only two people are staring at Huo Yuhao withplicated looks. They are Xuan Zi and Jian Bo. "Elder Xuan, what did thisd do in the dark mist? He''s showing more and more strength as we travel with him." Jian Bo couldn''t help but ask. "First, it was the Extraterrestrial Race, and now this." Xuan Zi, who had deactivated his Martial Soul''s transformation, chuckled and replied, "I don''t know either. I was busily fighting with that annoying octopus and eel when he suddenly appeared behind me to take over." "I couldn''t sense anything because the dark mist repelled my sensing ability after that. But I did hear some weapon shing noises and explosions." "If Yuhao used that in the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament. I''m sure no one could contend against the Dragon Nest''s team. It''s such a powerful ability, after all." Xuan Zi shivered at Huo Yuhao''s new Domain-type skill. Unknown to Xuan Zi, Huo Yuhao has yet to perfect the Hiding in the Abyss skill. Huo Yuhao is still trying to develop it till now. Yawn~! Huo Yuhao stepped onto the boat and yawned, "Let''s go to Java Ind quickly. I''m sleepy." "..." Everyone. Why did you make the 100,000-year-old spirit beasts sound like annoying mosquitoes? "This guy..." The corner of Wang Dong''s mouth twitched in disbelief. Huo Yuhao ignored theirplicated gazes and controlled the speedboat to resume its journey. The small episode with the oceanic spirit beasts doesn''t bother him. He sat on his seat again and closed his eyes, developing the Hiding in the Abyss and the new Life-type skill that could rece ''cost'' for Severing Immortality. He could use Shadow Army as the ''cost'' for Severing Immortality, but that would be counter-productive. So, Shadow Extractions had given me the idea more than anything. Three hourster. The speedboat finally arrived at the harbor of Java Ind. The Shrek Academy''s group, who had never visited Java Ind, was amazed by thevish ind and its buildings. On the other hand, Huo Yuhao, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er didn''t show much reaction. They have been here several times already. "Young Master." A familiar voice greeted Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nced at the voice and replied, "Ah, it''s you..." "Liu Mei." Liu Mei wore her usual purple-white secretary outfit and had a cloak with the dragon nest''s logo on the left shoulder. Her appearance stunned everyone in the bay. "I-Is that the Queen of Thunder?" "Damn, she''s so beautiful." "They said she''s one of the most experts in the Dragon Nest." "She ughtered many Title Doulous years ago, making her feared in the Douluo Continent..." The Shrek Seven Devils stared at Liu Mei with a fascinated gaze. Strong and beautiful woman, they couldn''t help but admire this kind of goddess. Zhang Lexuan, Xiao Xiao, and Ma Xiaotao felt inferior in the Queen of Thunder''s presence. And knowing this woman knew Huo Yuhao makes them feel even worse. ''What''s her rtionship with Yuhao?'' Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Xiao Xiao simultaneously thought. Xuan Zi, Jian Bo, and Shrek Academy''s teachers also stared at Liu Mei and gasped because they couldn''t sense her cultivation. It was ''normal'' for the teachers and Jian Bo because Liu Mei was clearly more powerful than all of them. But it''s horrifying for Xuan Zi. Xuan Zi is a level 98 Hyper Douluo, yet he couldn''t sense a damn thing from Liu Mei, making him guess that she''s at the very least level 99 Demi-God like his teacher, Mu En. "Why are you only greeting Yuhao? How unfair." Qianye Ying''er jokinglymented. "Yes, yes." Scathach nodded, adding fuel to the fire. Liu Mei coughed awkwardly and added, "Young Ladies, wee to Java Ind." "The hotel and other preparations are ready." "That''s more like it." Scathach and Qianye Ying''er nodded in satisfaction. ''You two are bullying me!'' Liu Meimented in her heart. She sighed and moved her gaze to the Shrek Academy''s people. "Shrek Academy, right?" Her tone is more professional and indifferent when addressing them. Xuan Zi stepped forward and smiled politely, "Yes." Liu Mei grabbed and tapped something on her tablet, causing several smartwatches to appear. She handed them to Xuan Zi and exined calmly, "This device will be your navigator on Java Ind." "It has built-in artificial intelligence that could help you with any possible difficulty. The Dragon Nest also has charged the smartwatches. It should have more than enough Contribution Points(Dragon Nest''s currency) for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament''s contestants tost until the tournament ends." "You can use those free Contribution Points on Java Ind and enjoy the entertainment area, so spend it wisely." "Everyone who wants to enter Java Ind must wear it, or there will be consequences." "Do you understand?" Liu Mei sternly questioned. "Understood, ma''am!" Everyone from Shrek Academy responded immediately. "Good. To activate the smartwatches, say ''GLuvH'' to the screen." Liu Mei finished her exnation. Everyone wore smartwatches carefully and said ''GLuvH'' to the screen, which soon shocked them because the ck screen lit up with a small holographic panel. ''GLuvH.'' Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. ''Aih, that mischievous girl.'' "Woah...." Amazed by the smartwatches, He Caituo and Luo Xin from the Spirit Guidance Department couldn''t help but surf through the small holographic panel after reading all the introductions. Well, it''s not just them. Everyone who entered Java Ind for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament would always have this kind of reaction. Liu Mei pped her hand to gain everyone''s attention, "You can follow the instructions in the smartwatches to find your reserved hotels and rooms." "Please pardon me. I have to bring Young Master and Young Ladies somewhere else." After saying that, Liu Mei escorted Huo Yuhao, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er away. "Damn..." Every male in the dock enviously stared at Huo Yuhao''s broad back. The treatment they got is simply like heaven and earth. However, they also understood the difference between their status and Huo Yuhao''s. With the help of smartwatches, everyone quickly found their hotels and checked some information. Not long after, a message entered their smartwatches. [You''re invited to the opening party at the Elegant Mermaid Hall. Please join us at 8 P.M] ... Chapter 268: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper Class (Final) Chapter 268: The Puzzling Abyssal Reaper ss (Final) --- Chapter 265 --- [Ding! The Hiding in the Abyss (B) has be more powerful due to your profound understanding of Space, Time, and Domain-type abilities] [Hiding in the Abyss (B) be Hiding in the Abyss (S)] [You have used 1x ck-Gold Upgrading Ticket to upgrade Hiding in the Abyss (S)] [Upgrading...] [Your luck has affected the result] [You have got an upgraded skill,Abyssal Realm''s Invasion (SSS)] [Ding! You have developed ''Faux''s Life''] [Faux''s Life (C) has be more powerful due to your profound understanding of Life, Death, and Casuality Laws] [Faux''s Life (C) has be Faux''s Soul (S)] [You have used 1x ck-Gold Upgrading Ticket to upgrade Faux''s Soul (S)] [Upgrading...] [Your luck has affected the result] [You have got an upgraded skill,Faux''s Samsara Presence (SSS)] ... After Liu Mei brought them to her office, Huo Yuhaoy on the cloud-like couch and stared at his system panelszily. He has strengthened Hiding in the Abyss and developed a Life-type skill. To top it off, he even upgraded them like Abyssal Monarch''s Touch. The upgraded Hiding in the Abyss looks like this. [Name: Abyssal Realm''s Invasion] [Type: Domain-type(Active Skill)] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Open several passages of the higher ne(Abyssal Realm) and let them invade the world with mysterious dark mist, messing with senses(including Divine Sense) and twisting the dimension to prevent anyone from running away] [Since it was purposed to strengthen Abyssal Reaper''s Breathe of Abyssal Realm, Abyssal Realm''s Invasion may increase thetter''s effect by three times] ... As for the Life-type skill, Huo Yuhao tried to make it simple. [Name: Faux''s Samsara Presence] [Type: Life-type(Active Skill)] [Grade: SSS] [Description: Target an enemy''s soul and create a shadow doppelganger based on it. After that, the wielder may freely control the shadow, which has 99% of the target''s ability, or sacrifice it to activate Abyssal Reaper''s Severing Immortality without cost] [Faux''s Samsara Presence is only practical to people below or one realm higher than the caster''s realm] ... Huo Yuhao made Faux''s Samsara Presence based on a ''certain'' president with a Stand''s power. Of course, he also added his understanding of the curse from Cursed God and Shadow Extraction from Shadow Monarch''s arsenal. He hasn''t tried Faux''s Samsara Presence, but it shouldn''t be too weak. "Master, this is the list of participants for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament." Liu Mei calmly ced down a tablet near Huo Yuhao. "Okay, let''s see..." Huo Yuhao grabbed the tablet and surfed through over two thousand academies and sects. His eyes twitched because some academies and sects were from 10,000 years ago, and they are resurfacing because of Dragon Nest''s prestige. He shook his head gently and asked, "What''s the status of Draconic Deus''s candidates?" "I''ve met Kuroka and Koneko in the Sky Feather City, and they are joining Star Luo Imperial Family''s Team." Liu Mei''s eyes gleamed weirdly after listening to Huo Yuhao''s words. She brushed her finger against the tablet''s holographic screen, "Some candidates from the Draconic Deus haven''t arrived at Java Ind, but including Nekoshou Sisters, there are ten teams so far." "They are Seeking Sky Sect(Holy Ghost Church''s Branch), Dark Heaven Academy(Holy Ghost Church''s Branch), Snowy in School(Holy Ghost Church''s Branch), Flying Sword Sect, Beast Sovereign School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon n, Body Sect, Star Luo Imperial Family, and Qianye n." "The others should arrive soon." Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "Holy Ghost Church is really ying a game with us, huh? Unfortunately for them, their trump cards are actually our spies." "This Qianye n..." "Ying''er, it seems one of our spies identally controlled your family." Hemented while staring at the Qianye Ying''er, who was licking her ice cream after a long day traveling. Qianye Ying''er narrowed her eyes and coldly replied, "Let them be. I warned them a few months ago." "But something makes me curious." "Who''s controlling that trash of a n?" "Let me see..." Huo Yuhao took a nce at the tablet. "Ah, this is a surprise." "It''s Azazel." "Pfft-! Hahaha~!" Qianye Ying''erughed cheerfully. "That damned crow probably would turn Qianye n''s members into ratbs. Such an irony, a descendant of Angel God actually fell under Fallen Angel''s control." "This is not bad at all." Scathach drank her wine and asked, "What about Valerie?" "ording to Huo Yuhao a month ago, she''s making a new faction with Rossweisse." "That''s right." Liu Mei nodded to confirm her question. "Valerie Tepes and Rossweisse built a new faction to join the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament." "And the name of it is Iron Blood Alliance." "Iron Blood Alliance situated on the edge of Douluo Continent as Valerie Tepes turned some natives into Dhampir. Of course, with their consent." "Rossweisse is in charge of training those Dhampir into powerful Spirit Masters. They are strong enough to contend against 2nd rate academies and sects without Valerie and Rossweisse''s help." "If we count both of them in, Iron Blood Alliance is a developing power that even other Great Factions must be wary of." Scathach finished her wine andmented, "That sounds about right." "Fortunately, Huo Yuhao has ced a ground rule for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament that they couldn''t use any power from the Draconic Deus. I''m curious how far my little blood servant could go." "I hope she could reach the top three... If not, I have to increase her training regime again." ''You''re not a Vampire Progenitor. You''re a demon!'' Huo Yuhao, Qianye Ying''er, and Liu Mei thought simultaneously. "Wait, vampire..." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes widened. ''Evo, what would happen if I use Severaling Immortality on Scathach?'' [She''d die, without a doubt] Evo answered tly. [But as a God yer with a rich intuition, Scathach wouldn''t let you get close enough to use Severing Immortality powered by Faux''s Samsara Presence] [Well, it''s not like you''re going to use Severing Immortality on her] [Only entities with two major realms higher than you, or Tier 5 and above, could resist Severaing Immortality] "Abyssal Reaper is amazing, huh?" Huo Yuhao murmured. [No, Abyssal Reaper is not strong] [You''re the one who makes it strong, Host] Huo Yuhao smiled and responded, "I guess that''s true." [You''re invited to the opening party at the Elegant Mermaid Hall. Please join us at 8 P.M.] Giana''s melodious voice echoed from the smartwatch Huo Yuhao wore. "There is such an event?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but ask. Liu Mei nodded, "There is." "Opening party is necessary to greet every participating faction on Java Ind. As the homeowner, we can''t be too shabby, no?" "Yeah." Huo Yuhao agreed with her. "But just an ordinary opening party won''t cut it... So, you must have nned something for this party." "That''s a surprise for tonight, Master." Liu Mei firmly returned. Huo Yuhao shrugged as he didn''t ask what this surprise was. He''d like to see it for himself. ''It probably has something to do with that, right?'' Qianye Ying''er gave Scathach a guessing look. Scathach responded with a wink, ''Obviously. Liu Mei is going to fish some people tonight.'' ... There were four hours and a half before the Opening Party began, so Huo Yuhao decided to sleep and return his consciousness to his ''true'' body. At the Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and felt his understanding of the Heavenly Dao increased by a leap. He stood up and stretched a few times, using the skills of Moon''s Piercer, Monk of Resistance, and Abyssal Reaper. "Oh, yeah." Huo Yuhao awkwardly stopped. "Let''s try Abyssal Realm''s Invasion and Faux''s Samsara Presence here." He lowered his strength to level 1 spirit trainee and exited his secluded training ground. He made a ''normal'' iron knife with Pagma''s Incarnation and watched a massive, fiery phoenix diving at him. This phoenix is over 300,000 years old and can revive itself from ashes, which is a suitable target for Severing Immortality. Huo Yuhao readied his iron knife and cast Abyssal Realm''s Invasion to cover the surrounding area with thick, dark mist. It caused the fiery phoenix to cry in surprise. [Faux''s Samsara Presence!] A dark-med phoenix flew out from the fiery phoenix''s shadow and charged at the living spirit beast. They are like mirror images of each other. [Severing Immortality!] Huo Yuhao didn''t wait and shed his iron knife at them, causing the fiery phoenix to shriek in fear. Its fiery body froze mid-air before crumbling into light particles. Even if the fiery phoenix wanted to revive itself, it couldn''t. There is an invisible force preventing it from doing so. [Ding! You have executed Abyssal Reaper''s Forbidden Skill: Severing Immortality and killed a 300,000-year-old Royal Fire Phoenix] [Ding! You have killed an immortal-like creature and met hidden condition to master Abyssal Reaper ss] [Ding! You have mastered Abyssal Reaper ss!] "Huh??" Huo Yuhao shouted on the spot. "What the fuck, I developed all these skills only for this hidden requirement to be this easy???" Chapter 269: Abyssal Brotherhoods Cloak Chapter 269: Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak --- Chapter 266 --- [Ding! You have executed Abyssal Reaper''s Forbidden Skill: Severing Immortality and killed a 300,000-year-old Royal Fire Phoenix] [Ding! You have obtained Royal Fire Phoenix''s Left-arm Spirit Bone and Spirit Ring] [Ding! You have mastered ''Abyssal Reaper'' ss] "..." Huo Yuhao. He stared dumbly at the system notification and couldn''t help but curse the hidden requirement. He was a very open-minded person, or so he thought. Nevertheless, he had never been this ''unfathomably'' speechless in his second life. Even when Huo Yuhao was thrown into a random world and experienced severe loneliness, he epted it positively. No, he even adapted to it quickly and conquered the random world before the time limit. BUT THIS! It is something else. Huo Yuhao sat on the nearby rock and sighed, "Aish, this definitely has something to do with my excessive luck. Maybe this is what Evo means when too much luck is sometimes a disaster." "I actually got wasted by myself..." [It''s not that bad, Host] [Although the hidden requirement mighte off as a random surprise, you should look the bright side] [Abyssal Reaper is a divine-grade ss, and you make it even stronger by developing three more skills that enhance the three ultimate skills] [You didn''t do this for Moon''s Piercer and Monk of Resistance because those divine-grade sses don''t have many ws you can cover] "That''s true, I suppose." Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly. He wasted a few Upgrading Tickets, but they were worth it for his case. "So, is there any reward for mastering Abyssal Reaper ss?" [There is] [Let me send it to you] [Ding! You have received Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak(EX-low)] "Abyssal Brotherhood?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head. "I thought Abyssal Reaper works alone?" [No, like countless Monk of Resistances building the Godly Resistance Constetion. Abyssal Reapers also have their own constetion called Abyssal Murder Constetion, which is weaker in number but no less threatening than the former] [A group of people who can y powerful entities in the Omniversal Order aren''t a joke, Host] "I see..." Huo Yuhao mumbled as he checked his reward. A familiar screen greeted him, but the introduction left him awed. [Name: Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak] [Type: Divine Equipment] [Grade: EX-low] [Description: A divine cloak developed from Abyssal Behemoth''s skin, fur, hides, feathers, throat, and stomach. It could conceal one''s presence and build up the killing power of the Abyssal Reaper gradually as it bonded to the wearer] [1st Skill: Abyssal Time] [Upon wearing Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak, the user''s presence will fade and enter a state of extreme temporal existence outside space-time in their current surroundings. Only Tier 5 and above can sense past the cloak''s unique ability] [2nd Skill: Abyssal Stomach] [Every part of Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak was ''meticulously'' made from Abyssal Behemoth, a creature with a bottomless gluttonous stomach. The cloak inherited such traits and possessed countless pocket dimensions, which Abyssal Reapers could use to store their weapons] Even living beings can be stored inside Abyssal Stomach, but it can''t be more than seven days as the Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak will digest life energy and strengthen itself] [3rd Skill: Abyssal Behemoth''s Piercing Cry] [Discharge the lingering soul wisp of Abyssal Behemoth within Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak and cast a mental interference that stuns any enemy below Tier 4. If the enemy is one tier higher, all Abyssal Reaper''s abilities and skills'' effects will increase by ten folds] [Abyssal Behemoth''s Piercing Crysted for three seconds and entered one week cooldown period afterward] Huo Yuhao murmured in surprise, "This cloak is not bad." Even though Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak didn''t have multiple offensive abilities like Sacrificial Bow and Prayer bead, its functionality is top-notch with godly stealth and infinite inventory space. Not to mention the Third Skill: Abyssal Behemoth''s Piercing Cry allowed Huo Yuhao to stun any enemies below Tier-4 Realm. Huo Yuhao''s fighting prowess is slightly above Godking Realm, bouncing between Tier 7 and Tier 6, depending on how much power he is willing to use. Now, he had a fighting chance against someone at Tier 5 with Abyssal Behemoth''s Piercing Cry and the rightbo of skills. Strictly speaking, Abyssal Brother''s Cloak is better than two previous Divine Tools. Three seconds might not be long, but so is your life. Huo Yuhao brought out the Abyssal Brotherhood''s Cloak and saw a ck-hooded cloak with threeyers of leather, fur, and feathers materialize before him. Wearing it, Huo Yuhao felt a cold and numb sensation all over his body as the surrounding world slowed down rapidly. He breathed in and walked to a pack of 100,000-year-old spirit beasts, catching themcking because they ignored him as if he didn''t exist in the first ce. Huo Yuhao smirked and waved his hand, sending a barrage of hidden weapons at these spirit beasts. Some notifications echoed in his head, telling him he got spirit rings and spirit bones. "The Infinite Storage Space is somewhat repetitive, but I might be able to fuse it with Sky Poison Dagger''s ability to create and refine poison." Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin. Thinking about thebination of two skills made Huo Yuhao''s lips curl wickedly. If Sky Poison Dagger doesn''t work, he doesn''t mind using the ''real'' Sky Poison Pearl in his inventory. "Hehehe~!" In Huo Yuhao''s spiritual world, his spirits arementing on him. ''Look at the damn smile. This kid is up to no good.'' Tian Mengmented after noticing Huo Yuhao''s evil smile. ''That''s what you''re catching out? You''re not curious about the bow, bead, and new cloak he just got?'' Bing Di was speechless. ''He got them every time he mastered this so-called ss.'' ''Don''t you think that''s a more important matter?'' Tian Meng waved her hand casually, ''Nah, Yuhao is a freak. And you''ve already seen more than those sses.'' Eluxia shook her head at them, ''In my previous world, humans also had professions like Yuhao. We have knights, warriors, priests, assassins, mages, and spirituals based on temples to resist Demon Races.'' ''But the truth is, humans are uglier than those Demon Races.'' ''Mama, are you sad?'' Helena stretched her hand and rubbed Eluxia''s cheeks affectionately. Eluxia smiled, ''No, not anymore.'' ''Because we have your Papa here.'' ''Mm, Papa is the best indeed~!'' Helena agreed immediately. But the little girl suddenly nced at the shadowy figure in the corner of the Spiritual World. After Huo Yuhao returned from the Everlith Universe, this big sister joined them as his contracted spirit, but she never yed with her. Even with her relentless pestering, the shadowy big sister never responded. ''Mama, how strong do you think that big sister is?'' Hna couldn''t help but ask. Eluxia nced at the Primordial Ink Devil''s Spirit and answered, ''I don''t know. Her existence is too unique for me to grasp.'' ''She''s like us spirits but different in some aspects.'' ''Well, don''t focus too much on her. Since Yuhao brought her, that means she has earned his trust.'' ''Hmm...'' Helena hummed silently. Back to Huo Yuhao, he returned to his secluded ce and sat down to meditate passively again. He has enough harvest for now, so he should return and prepare for the Opening Party at Java Ind. ... "Good god, you''re finally awake, Master." Liu Mei''s voice brushed Huo Yuhao''s ears. Huo Yuhao stretched his clone''s body and asked, "What''s the matter?" "No, nothing. We caught some rats and disposed of them already." "I''m here for a different reason, though." "Oh?" Liu Mei coquettishly looked at him and stated, "Master, can you dance with meter at the Opening Party?" "Sure. You''d be my first dance partner." Huo Yuhao smiled because this much is nothing for Liu Mei''s efforts so far. He could fulfill such a simple wish. "Yes~!" Liu Mei excitedly pumped her fist. She coughed and returned to her secretary mode, "Thank you, Master." "Let''s meet at the hotel entranceter." She disappeared from the room with a sh of lightning. Watching the disappearing Queen of Thunder, Huo Yuhao shook his head and chuckled, "How adorable." Chapter 270: Yup, Hes My Dream Man! Chapter 270: Yup, He''s My Dream Man! --- Chapter 267 --- "Oh my god. Hao''er, you''re so messy." "Can you have a more decent outfit than this? Ugh, you and your fashion sense." "My son can''t look shabby!" A golden-haired goddess in a white blouse and matching dark long skirt stood unhappily before Huo Yuhao. In Liu Mei''s office, Huo Yuhao was ''thoroughly'' scolded by his mother for wanting to enter the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament''s opening party with casual clothes. Huo Yun''er held the Dragon Nest''s vice-leader position and was the one who would greet everyer. She''d also attend the tournament as the faction''s representative alongside Yae and Kunou. Yes, three nine-tailed foxes would appear and shock everyer. But tonight, Huo Yun''er arrived at Java Ind to say some words for the contestant. Who would have thought her beloved son to be this sloppy? "This won''t do, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er ced her slender hands on the hip and pouted. "Let''s go to the nearest shopping center and buy you a new dress." After saying that, Huo Yun''er dragged Huo Yuhao to thergest shopping center on Java Ind. She was not ying around and immediately went to the infamous Athena Gallery. One of the Dragon Nest''s elders actually founded Athena Gallery. She was an ordinary weaver with a tool-type Martial Soul Knitting Needles, who followed Huo Yuhao when he brought countless people to the new continent. Shortly after, Huo Yuhao upgraded her human race and Martial Soul into a superior version of herself, allowing tool-type Martial Soul Knitting Needles to be a terrifying craftmanship tool. Not only did the elder weave better clothes now, but those she created personally even had special effects that could enhance the wearer''s strength immensely. Coincidentally, the Shrek Seven Devils, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan are checking out Java Ind''s shopping district and see Huo Yun''er drag Huo Yuhao into the Athena Gallery. "Wait, is that Yuhao?" Xu Sanshi pointed his finger at Huo Yuhao. "That... It can''t be another person, no?" Wang Dong hasn''t achieved much mastery in the Purple Demon Eyes, which means she couldn''t see much further than her seniors. "No, that is Yuhao." Bei Bei confirmed with a weird expression. Tang Ya crossed her arms and pointed, "Yeah, why did such a gorgeous ''milf'' woman drag him to the Clothing Store?" "Unless..." Everyone''s imagination is quite wild and spicy indeed. Luo Xin and He Caitou nced at each other, "It can''t be right. Yuhao''s character might be a little evil, but his attainment of the Spirit Guidance Tool shows us the spirit of a focused person." "Bah, this is where you are wrong. Hot-blooded young men like us desire older women as much as girlfriends." "Maybe, just maybe, Yuhao''s taste is very diverse." Jiang Nannan snorted, "Are you saying that you''re also interested in older women, scum." "W-Wait, Nannan. I was speaking nonsense." Xu Sanshi panicked and tried to coax the bunny girl. Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan look calm as they listen to the Shrek Seven Devils'' discussion. Of course, that was only the outer facade for their internal turmoil. Xu Sanshi''s pleading voice awakened them, "Nannan, hear me out. I''m a little dumb, but I''m not like Yuhao." "Of course you aren''t!" Thedies red at him. "Beat him up~!" Tang Ya yfully shouted. "Uh..." Xu Sanshi covered his head from their vicious beating. "Ow, ow, please spare me!" Bei Bei, He Caitou, Wang Dong, and Luo Xin looked at the poor Xu Sanshi and shook their heads. You''re ndering the idol of these women before their very faces. You''re asking for a beating, brother. "One more word about Yuhao, and I will burn your ass." Harrumphed Ma Xiaoyao as she walked to the Athena Gallery. Zhang Lexuan didn''t say much, but her aura caused Xu Sanshi to shudder in horror. She followed Ma Xiaotao to the Athena Gallery. Xiao Xiao patted Xu Sanshi''s shoulders and said, "A beggar once said it''s better to stay quiet than be a fool." "Senior, Yuhao is not the type of person who would be a sucker for other people. He has an ''extremely'' strong backbone and pride." "Also, I finally recognized that woman. She has changed so muchpared to thest time I saw her." Xiao Xiao added with a giggle. Yes, Xiao Xiao recently recalled the gorgeous woman who apanied Huo Yuhao to the Spirit Awakening Ceremony years ago. "Wait, you know her?" Everyone stared at Xiao Xiao curiously. Xiao Xiao curled her lips into a smirk, "Hehe, I will keep my mouth sealed for now and let you guys be surprisedter." "You''re not fun, bad junior!" Tang Yained. Of course, she didn''t mean it. They are curious about the woman''s identity, but since Xiao Xiao won''t tell them, they have no choice but to follow her to the Athena Gallery. "Why are you so reckless, Sanshi? Your mouth is your tiger. Don''t be like that anymore in the future." Jiang Nannan extended her fair hand to Xu Sanshi. She sighed and waved her hand gently, "Hurry up. Xiao Xiao and others would leave us behind at this point." "Nannan, you''re so kind to me." Xu Sanshi was on the verge of crying as he held Xu Nannan''s hand. From now on, he decided to pull all his efforts to make up for his past mistake with her and not make anyment about Huo Yuhao anymore. That blue-haired yboy wasn''t even here, yet he created a ripple in the calm water. Heck! Xu Sanshi cannot even afford to offend his women. ''Yuhao is scary, and his women are scarier.'' Xu Sanshi recited in his heart solemnly. ... Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was ''literally'' buried in piles of clothes at the Athena Gallery. Technically speaking, he could make his clothes with Pagma Incarnation ss, but he couldn''t easily refuse Huo Yun''er''s wishes. A wry smile stered on Huo Yuhao''s face as he watched Huo Yun''er talk with a dignified-looking woman in a professional green dress. This woman is the founder of Athena Gallery, Lu Biyun. Yet even the founder of the infamous clothing store was overwhelmed by Mother Fox''s request. Lu Biyun broke a cold sweat, "Um, Mistress. At this point, we are not going anywhere." "Why don''t you let me open some of my masterworks and see if they look good on Leader?" "Hmm, go on." Huo Yun''er grabbed a seat and waited for her. After a few minutes, Lu Biyun brought three 2-meter tall silver boxes and presented them to Huo Yun''er. As the boxes opened, thetter could see three suits with different charms. The first suit is a rose red with a red jacket, rose waistcoat, matching pants, and fitting cuffs. The fit cuffs have three golden pins, which look like ink strokes. Interestingly, the suit has no cors or ties, leaving the cor and lower neck area open. It definitely makes men more sexually appealing. "Looks good, but too red and open for Hao''er." Huo Yun''ermented casually. She nced at the next suit and saw a white suit with a brown jacket, white shirt, and squared pattern brown tie. She admitted the suit was good, but brown didn''t look good on her beloved son. "Next..." "Oh, this one is interesting." "Yuhao, try this one." She called Huo Yuhao out. Huo Yuhao helplessly escaped the suits'' prison and went to the changing room. As Huo Yuhao entered the changing room, the Shrek Seven Devils(mainly thedies) entered the Athena Gallery. "Where is Yuhao?" "I don''t see him anywhere." "He''s gone!" Huo Yun''er nced at them and recognized some faces, "Ah, you guys are Yuhao''s friends. If you''re searching for him, he''s in the changing room trying his new suit." "Ack, please pardon our rudeness." The girls bowed at Huo Yun''er. Huo Yun''er giggled, "It''s alright. Some of you would be part of the family soon anyway." "Part of the family, Yuhao..." Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Zhang Lexuan blushed while imagining something in their heads. A few secondster, Huo Yuhao exited the changing room and revealed himself in the new suit. His handsome and tall figure charmed them instantly. Thedies swallowed their saliva and felt their hearts pounding rapidly. ''Yup, He is my dream man!'' They thought simultaneously. Chapter 271: Opening Party (1) Chapter 271: Opening Party (1) --- Chapter 268 --- Java Ind, Elegant Mermaid Hall. The guests arrived one after another, wearing their best dresses and suits for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament''s opening party. Some even wore their academy''s formal uniforms to attend the party. As the one who nned the opening party, Liu Mei stood at the entrance of Elegant Mermaid Hall. She''s wearing a purple one-piece dress that strikes one''s heart like lightning and matching crystal-high heels that enhance her white, long legs. Her long, dark purple hair was neatly styled with waves, which gave one impression of falling waterfalls. Overall, Liu Mei looks like a noblewoman with overbearing professionalism. Any guests who came in couldn''t help but take several looks at her. After all, the infamous Queen of Thunder is much more beautiful than the rumors say. Giving her the title Goddess of Thunder wasn''t far-fetched either. "Master isn''t here." Liu Mei checked her smartwatch, which showed that the opening party would start in fifteen minutes. "He should have arrived with the Shrek Academy''s group, but I don''t see him with them." "He won''t forget about our promise, right?" Thinking about this, even the Queen of Thunder couldn''t help but be nervous. "Hello, there." A feminine voice awakened her. "M-Mistress Yun''er, you''re here?" Liu Mei shifted her eyes from the holographic screen and was shocked to see Huo Yun''er. Huo Yun''er wore her white dress and low heels. Although her outfits look nothing special, they enhance her natural beauty even more. Mother Fox smiled teasingly, "What, I can''t be here?" "As the Dragon Nest''s representative, I had to attend the opening party, or else people would think I''m rude." Mistress, what are you even saying? Those mortals cannot possibly harm you. Behind Huo Yun''er, Scathach and Qianye Ying''er stood with a funny smile on their faces. The God yer modeled a red dress that wrapped her body and curves wonderfully. With matching red high heels, her ck stockings and long gloves made her charm burst with braveness. On the other hand, Qianye Ying''er wore a golden dress with a puffy skirt that matched her golden hair. Her creamy thighs were ''brazenly'' exposed, leaving one with little to no imagination. Like Huo Yun''er, she wore low heels with a butterfly pattern. "Hehe, are you waiting for Yuhao?" Scathach chuckled while tapping her heels against the ground. "I have bad news for you. Yuhao wouldn''t be going for a particr reason." "Eh?!" Liu Mei was shocked. She stared at Scathach''s red eyes, trying to find a sign of fraud. However, Scathach smiled and didn''t show any facial changes. No matter how strong the Queen of Thunder was, she couldn''t see through the God yer. Their experience is on a pletely'' different level. "No way, did he forget?" Liu Mei looks downcasted immediately. ''Look what have you done to her?'' Qianye Ying''er nudged Scathach''s arm with her elbow. Even without Qianye Ying''er reminding her, Scathach has already felt bad for teasing Liu Mei too much. However, she quickly hid anyplex emotions as this was necessary to set the stage. Huo Yun''er shook her head gently, "Well, Liu Mei, we will enter the hall earlier than you." "See you inside." Huo Yun''er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying''er walked into the Elegant Mermaid Hall. Qianye Ying''er nced at Liu Mei''s lonely figure, "What a lucky woman you''re, Sister Mei, but you deserved it." On the other hand, Liu Mei felt overwhelmingly sad inside because she should have known that a busy person like Master Yuhao wouldn''t have time for her. Although small, tears have umted in the corner of her eyes. She bit her lips indignantly and suddenly felt someone rub the tears away. It was a gentle rub and filled with affection. "Why are you crying?" "Aih, you''re not children anymore." Liu Mei looked up and saw smiling Huo Yuhao. Her eyes widened in disbelief at his appearance. Huo Yuhao wore a navy blue suit(consisting of a navy blue jacket, gray waistcoat and shirt, matching pants, and gray tie) and ck shoes. His blue hair was ''slickly'' swept back, allowing his angr and sharp features to be more pronounced. "What''s the matter? You look like someone who hasn''t seen a handsome man before." Huo Yuhao teased with a smile. "I-I thought you wouldn''te." Liu Mei pouted slightly. "Who said that?" "Uh, Instructor Scathach." "And you believe her?" "This..." Liu Mei was overwhelmed by sadness earlier and couldn''t think straight. Now that she thought about it, Scathach was teasing her. "Pfft, haha~! Mei, Mei, you''re so adorable." Huo Yuhao pinched the Queen of Thunder''s nose gently. "D-Don''tugh, ah, I''m so embarrassed." Liu Mei covered her blushing face. Huo Yuhao chuckled and praised honestly, "You look beautiful tonight, Mei." "Thank you, Master. But does this mean that I''m not beautiful aside tonight?" She put on a stubborn look, which left him speechless. "Okay, don''t tease me back." Huo Yuhao sighed. "And we arete to the party." "Are you going?" He extended his hand to her. Liu Mei looked at Huo Yuhao''s hand and took it happily, "Let''s go!" She hugged Huo Yuhao''s arm and walked inside the Elegant Mermaid Hall with him triumphantly. She nced at her partner tonight and found him more attractive as she breathed in his presence. After so long, this is what she wanted. ... Elegant Mermaid Hall is a massive banquet hall nned to receive people on Java Ind. Tonight, it would be a room for talented youths from all over the Douluo Continent to meet and socialize for the first time. The hall is very grand and vast, having furnished walls and floor. There are also three silver pirs supporting the whole ce and also act as the source of light. Surprisingly, these light sources are controlled efficiently and won''t affect anyone inside. Chandeliers hung on the roof. Each had several colorful crystal lights as decorations, which were actually a sound system and recording device for a ''certain'' purpose. Mahogany tables filled with food and encircled by chairs were ''naturally'' set ording to the guests, which exceeds a thousand, if not two thousand, tonight. A gorgeous mermaid sculpture stood firmly in the center, catching everyone''s attention like a fire to moths. Youths and elders who protected them are busy talking with each other. That''s until the sound system announced the arrival of someone. "Attention~! Attention~! Dragon Nest''s representatives have entered the hall!" A pleasant voice of Giana entered their ears. Clop! Clop! Everyone instinctively parted to the sides and watched a goddess walk inside the Elegant Mermaid Hall. Her foxy yet seductive appearance invited lust and admiration from the guests. However, their shock has yet toe to an end. Another goddess in a red dress entered their vision. Unlike the first goddess, she looks more menacing and cold, as if she doesn''t care about their ant-like lives. She''s here for fun anyway. Then, the third goddess arrived and mesmerized everyone with her innocent look. Unknown to them, this one is even more dangerous than the previous two. Some guests recognized these goddesses but kept their mouths shut as the main character had yet to arrive. What a group of ignorant fools. They didn''t know the true leader of the Dragon Nest! At this very moment, Giana''s pleasant voice rang again. "Attention~! Attention~! Dragon Nest''s Zero Disciple and Queen of Thunder have entered the hall!" Clop! Clop! Clop! The sound of steps entered everyone''s ears. They moved their gazes from the goddesses unwillingly and focused on the entrance of Elegant Mermaid Hall. For men and women, young and old, this was an unforgettable sight in their lives. A handsome young man and thunderous goddess entered the hall with confidence. Fated for each other is the only description one could use to describe their joint appearance. One is tall and handsome, and the other is stunning and maic. "Well, let''s start the party." Said the handsome young man. Chapter 272: Opening Party (2) Chapter 272: Opening Party (2) --- Chapter 269 --- Huo Yuhao could feel countless piercing gazesnding on his body as these people tried to guess his identity. Unfortunately for these people, his identity as the Dragon Nest''s Leader is well-protected. To them, he''s only a mysterious young man who had taken Queen of Thunder as his partner tonight. "Zero Disciple?" "What kind of position is that? I''ve never heard of it." "Dragon Nest, what are you nning to do exactly?" "Aah, I''m so jealous. How could a brat who''s wet behind the ears could be a partner with the Queen of Thunder?" "Unfair, this world is unfair!" Bewilderment, jealousy, and condemnation alternated around the guests as they watched Huo Yuhao standing at the Elegant Merchant Hall''s entrance. Ultimately, all those emotions flowed into one question. Just who is this handsome young man? Of course, Huo Yuhao ignored them because he didn''t need to exin himself and nced at Liu Mei. He nudged his arm and smiled, "Are we just going to stand here and do nothing?" Although brief, Huo Yuhao''s charming smile captivated everydy in the hall. "Oh my god, I thought he was handsome enough, but that smile..." "That goddamn smile makes this young man even more handsome." "Yeah, I felt jealous of the Queen of Thunder now." "Where did she find such a fine man?" "Ssshh, sit down bitch. You''re not worthy of such a handsome guy." "What did you say?!" Huo Yuhao has toned down his charm by several levels, but since he had be the God of Lust, the opposite gender would have a st finding him attractive. It''s a troublesome curse that''s a blessing in disguise. Liu Mei hugged Huo Yuhao''s arm even tighter as they walked under the gaze of thousands of people, striding a long hallway with an overbearing aura that ordinary people couldn''t help. Gasps echoed one after another. People felt inferior before these very two. As Huo Yuhao and Liu Mei arrived at the mermaid statue, Huo Yun''er gave them a sly look and pped her hand. Instantly, the hall bes as quiet as a tranquil sea. "Everyone, I, the vice-leader of Dragon Nest, wee you to this very banquet." "My name is Huo Yun''er, nice to meet you." She shed her pearly teeth at everyone. Everyone looked at Huo Yun''er in surprise. They already expected such a goddess to have an impressive background and identity, but never in their wildest dreams thought she was the vice-leader of the infamous Dragon Nest. "Heaven. Not only was she goddess-like, but I also couldn''t sense her cultivation. Dragon Nest''s strength is unfathomable!" An elder, who is a Title Douluo,mented. Huo Yun''er stretched her hand and introduced Scathach, "Thisdy right here is Dragon Nest''s Elite Disciple, Yang Xin." When Scathach was summoned/transmigrated to this world, her soul upied a dying girl named Yang Xin. And she used the name for her second identity, which is very convenient. Simply put, Scathach''s name is too unique to use in the cultivation world''s settings. Not to mention, Scahach dislikes annoyance matters. After hearing Huo Yun''er, the guests looked at Scathach with reverence because the rumor said less than ten youths could be Elite Disciples in the Dragon Nest. And those spots are even determined beforehand for monstrous geniuses who got admitted to the White Room Division. Sensing the positive response, Huo Yun''erughed inside because these fools are easy to trick. Scathach''s real identity as the Great Instructor is a real piece of the deal. Huo Yun''er felt overly amused and coughed lightly, "And this youngdy is Qianye Ying''er. Another Elite Disciple, whose rank is only lower than Yang Xin." This time, everyone looked at Qianye Ying''er and felt their hearts flutter because, unlike Scathach''s overbearing appearance, this innocent-lookingdy was morefortable to look at. Of course, they couldn''t be more wrong. At the moment, people from the Qianye n are staring at Qianye Ying''er with a shocked look. They didn''t expect the lost duckling to grow into a beautiful swan in just a few years. They have discovered that Qianye Ying''er holds some importance in the Dragon Nest since she could represent the faction and even dere war against them a few months ago. But learning she was an Elite Disciple made their heads buzz in fear. Her potential and future achievements are limitless! If not for their new leader, Azazel, who has taken over the Qianye n, they wouldn''t evene to Java Ind and probably hide in the secluded part of the Douluo Continent. Huo Yun''er pped her hand again to calm everyone down and said, "As everyone knows, this beautiful woman is the Dragon Nest''s Queen of Thunder." "Her prestige soared high after our first auction." "So, I''m sure nearly all of you know her." She giggled pleasantly, "But I''m even more sure you''re curious about the identity of the young man beside her." "And what Zero Disciple actually means..." Everyone collectively nodded their heads like chickens. They are indeed curious about Huo Yuhao''s identity. Building the anticipation, Huo Yun''er pulled a fan and covered her lower face to look more mysterious. ''Aih, she''s ying around with them.'' Huo Yuhao sighed at his mother''s antics. The light''s source from the silver pirs dimmed and darkened the room considerably. A light spot appeared and locked on Huo Yuhao, making him the main character of tonight''s party. "Let me introduce you to my one and only son, Huo Yuhao." This one introduction alone was already shocking to the guest. But it was not over yet. Huo Yun''er slowly lowered her fan, "He''s also Dragon Nest''s number one genius and the only disciple of Dragon Nest''s Leader!" "He''s Zero Disciple, the only one above ten elites. As a matter of fact, his identity is even higher than a vice-leader like I am..." The corner of Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched slightly. Huo Yun''er was spouting nonsense confidently and didn''t even stutter a bit. She also mixed lies with the truth because her vice-leader position is truthfully lower than his. However, that''s because he''s the leader of Dragon Nest. Upon learning the critical information about Huo Yuhao''s identity, everyone takes a deep breath. Who doesn''t know about the mysterious leader of Dragon Nest? Rumor said he''s the strongest Title Douluo in the world, reaching Level 99 at a young age. To think this handsome young man is the only disciple of such a powerhouse. Once again, their worldviews were ''naturally'' refreshed. The majority of the guests had their jaws dropped. Even the elders, who were supposed to protect them, couldn''t help but look at Huo Yuhao with indescribable dread. Just how talented this young man is for the Dragon Nest''s Leader to take the fancy of him as his disciple. Their little minds couldn''t imagine it, but some are too brave to try. Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, "We are here not topare our status. Everyone, please enjoy the party without pressure." "The dance will start in a moment." After saying that, Huo Yuhao took Liu Mei to the empty table for Dragon Nest''s members. He was about to sit down when someone introduced themselves to him. They are wearing the formal uniforms of Sun and Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. "Esteemed Zero Disciple, my name is Jing Hongchen." Said a man with a golden-rimmed monocle greeted him. "I''d like to know more about you." "Also, maybe my grandson and granddaughter could be friends with you." "Nice to meet you, Zero Disciple." A young man in white attire greeted Huo Yuhao respectfully. "My name is Xiao Hongchen." "And this is my younger sister." A young woman in a white-blue dress stepped forward. She looked at Huo Yuhao with an ''extremely infatuated'' look, "My name is Meng Hengchen. Handsome, you look even better close up." Huo Yuhao chuckled because he was surprised by Meng Hongchen''s boldness, "Nice to meet you three, but I don''t think your goal is only friendship." "Right?" "Jing Hongchen, if you''re up to no good, I don''t mind teaching you a lesson." Liu Mei was defensive for Huo Yuhao. Jing Hongchen raised his hands awkwardly because he couldn''t defeat Liu Mei, even if he had been given one million chances. He cleared his throat and returned, "No, no. Queen of Thunder, please don''t take my intention negatively." "We truly only want to befriend esteemed Zero Disciple." "To show my sincerity, I''d like to give this Spirit Embryo to you as a gift." An hourss-like device appeared before their eyes, and the inside was a beautiful green-white crystal that emitted intense cold light. ''That green-white crystal... There is no mistake.'' Huo Yuhao could feel a presence rted to snow inside. ''Yuhao, take that crystal RIGHT FUCKING NOW!'' Bing Di shouted from the Spiritual World. Huo Yuhaoughed helplessly inside and gave Jing Hongchen a friendly smile, "Then, I will not reject Senior Hongchen''s kindness." "Thank you for the gift. It''s an interesting treasure." "I''m d you like it." Jing Hongchen sighed in relief. His heart is bleeding because Spirit Embryo is very rare and cost a fortune for him to buy a while ago. At first, he nned to use it on his grandson. However, building a rtionship with the Dragon Nest''s Zero Disciple is much more meaningful, especially since this blue-haired young man is a disciple of untouched existence. Huo Yuhao knew he couldn''t kick them away immediately and offered, "Senior Hongchen, why don''t you and your grandchildren sit down and let me hear what you had in mind." "Thank you." Jing Hongchen grabbed a seat opposite of him. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also sat down, looking at Huo Yuhao great interest. As they sat down, Jing Hongchen coughed and continued, "Actually, I have a small proposal." ''I thought you had no other intention than befriending me? Damn, Jing Hongchen, your face is thicker than a wall!'' Huo Yuhao and Liu Mei gave the bespectacled man a peculiar look. Chapter 273: Opening Party (Final) Chapter 273: Opening Party (Final) --- Chapter 270 --- Jing Hongchen had a fawning sensation in his heart. So, the way he looked at Huo Yuhao was like a treasure hunter with an irreceable treasure. "So, here is my small proposal." "We, Imperial Sun Moon Academy, majored in advanced spirit guidance technology more than other factions on the Douluo Continent. As a matter of fact, we are leaving others in a ditch." He said somewhat proudly. "Jing Hongchen, know your ce." Liu Mei''s frown deepened ever since Jing Hongchen first opened his mouth. "First in your dream." Huo Yuhao tapped his finger on the table, "No, no, Mei, let him talk." "Go on, Elder Hongchen." He''d like to see where this thick-faced elder went with this conversation. Jing Hongchen smiled and continued, "This is supposed to be a secret, but I wouldn''t keep my card hidden for you, Zero Disciple." "The Illustrious Virtue Hall under me is developing a new project called the giant human-shaped spirit guidance tool right now, and I believe it will be the future of mankind." "But then, we have a small problem with producing it." "Weck the means to activate this giant machine. Anything we made so far couldn''t supply it with enough energy." "Until we used Rune Stones from the Dragon Nest." Jing Hongchen sighed a little. Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, "Are you perhaps..." Jing Hongchen didn''t beat around the bush anymore, "Yes, if possible, we want to coborate with Dragon Nest through you and supply us with a steady amount of Rune Stones." "At the very least, for the next three years." He raised three of his fingers to make a point. "With this, we can produce the first ever giant human-shaped spirit guidance tool." Huo Yuhao leaned against his chair and replied, "Hmm, you did sound ambitious and had a vision about such a matter." "But." "But?" "But I don''t like the name of this spirit guidance tool you''re talking about, Elder Hongchen. It''s too mouthful." "This..." Jing Hongchen was speechless. He articted his vision to make Huo Yuhao agree to support him. However, he was stumped because this blue-haired young man didn''t like the project''s name. Even Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were amazed by Huo Yuhao''s insensitivity. Is this young man really the only pupil of Dragon Nest''s Leader? Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and smiled, "Why don''t we call it Mecha? It stemmed from world Mechanical, which is what Spirit Guidance Tool is about." "Mecha, mecha... That would work." Jing Hongchen nodded, finding the name better than the long name he used earlier. "So, what do you think?" "Do you think we can coborate?" Huo Yuhao stared at Jing Hongchen''s eyes and answered, "Your proposal wasn''t attractive enough." "Eh?" Jing Hongchen was shocked. Jing Honchen thought Huo Yuhao would agree as he suggested changing the project''s name. "Let me ask something." Huo Yuhao ignored Jing Hongchen''s shocked expression. "Do you think supplying you with Rune Stones continuously would do any good on my part? You literally asked me to throw my money at you and wait for god-know when." "Not to mention, I''m not optimistic enough that you can make a Mecha in three years. You guys are currently like an aimless chicken. Just admit it." "It also means my support would be no different than wasting precious resources away." "Even though my authority is above the vice-leader, you should know that wasting things is not good, especially in my teacher''s eyes." Jing Hongchen blinked in awe. Huo Yuhao really dismantled his proposal like it was nothing. At first, he thought this blue-haired young man was simple-minded. But no, Zero Disciple''s mind is very sharp. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Unless you show me some credibility that you can produce such a thing, I won''t give you my support." "I''m a ss 9 Soul Engineer!" Jing Hongchen hurriedly retorted. "Who is not a ss 9 Soul Engineer nowadays? Even Liu Mei is a ss 9 Soul Engineer by your Sun and Moon Empire''s low standard, and I could easily ask her to make me a mecha." Huo Yuhao shut him down pretty quickly. Jing Hongchen hung his head low and thought of many things to persuade Huo Yuhao. He nced at his granddaughter''s lovely appearance, and an idea shed in his bright mind. However, not even a secondter, Jing Hongchen could only give up on such an idea. He nced at Liu Mei and thought, ''He has many beauties on his side, which means using my granddaughter as a honey trap won''t work.'' Liu Mei could not bear it anymore and said, "Your time befriending Zero Disciple is over. Scram!" "I..." Jing Hongchen hesitated and nced at Huo Yuhao, finding him yawning casually. "Very well." "Zero Disciple. Let''s talk againter." He smiled friendly at Huo Yuhao. "I will show you a better proposal than this." Yes, he must prepare for a better n. After that, Jing Hongchen retreated with his grandchildren. Yet, not even a secondter, people from other factions had lined up to curry Huo Yuhao''s favor. If they couldn''t curry his favor, befriending him or making a positive impression is enough for them. Soon, Huo Yuhao''s table piled up with gifts. There is a small mountain of gifts. It''s not until the Shrek Academy''s peoplee that Huo Yuhao could take a breather. "Wow, being a big shot is a pain." Tang Yamented while looking at Huo Yuhao''s sorry state. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Tell me about it." "If Mei didn''t help, more people woulde and annoy me." "Hehe, you reap what you sow." Wang Dong didn''t hide her snarky remark about Huo Yuhao. "You shouldn''t have made such a shocking appearance earlier." "That''s not my fault." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. He nced at Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Zhang Lexuan. "You three looks good tonight." "I-Is that so?" Ma Xiaotao blushed, clutching the edge of her fiery red dress. Xiao Xiao giggled and swayed her emerald-green dress, "Hehe. Yuhao praises me." "Mm." Zhang Lexuan didn''t say much. But everyone could see her smile was ''especially'' charming when Huo Yuhao praised her beauty. The threedies are like different flowers in this hall. "Yuhao, you said there would be a dance eventter." Xiao Xiao suddenly pointed out. "Can you dance with me?" Huo Yuhao smiled, "Sure, but you had to wait in line because many beauties wanted to dance with me." "Bah!" Wang Dong threw her head away in disgust. "It''s not my fault that I''m this handsome." He added shortly after. ''Shameless and anarchistic.'' Every male guest thought to themselves. Of course, female guests had different ideas about Huo Yuhao''s narchistic remarks. If they could dance with him even once, that would elevate their status. Nevertheless, realization kicked these singledies hard when they saw Huo Yuhao was surrounded by fairies, if not goddess-level, beauty. Comparison is indeed cruel. They could only bite their lips in jealousy. Huo Yuhao presented Liu Mei calmly, "Mei here would be my first partner tonight. I have made a promise, so I had to fulfill it as a gentleman." "Yes, you''re so nice to me." Liu Mei''s cheeks reddened slightly. "Attention~! Attention~!" Giana''s voice echoed in the hall. "The Ballroom Dance would begin in five minutes." "Everyone, please clear out the center area." "Everyone, please clear out the center area." Huo Yuhao stood up from his seat and offered his hand, "Mei, it''s dancing time." "Mm." Liu Mei nodded while taking his hand. Under everyone''s jealous gazes, Huo Yuhao led Liu Mei to the center area and waited for the first song to start. He hummed patiently and nced at the Queen of Thunder. "Are you nervous?" "Yes." Liu Mei answered honestly. "To be honest, I have never danced before." "Is that so? I thought your movement technique was simr to dance moves." "You can use it, and I''ll lead you along with the song." Liu Mei clenched her free hand, "I-I can try." "Good girl." A mellow and slow song yed in the hall, and everyone waited for Huo Yuhao to make the first move. Huo Yuhao smirked and stepped forward confidently, dragging Liu Mei''s willowy figure ording to the song''s tempo. Their bodies swayed as a faint flicker of lightning enveloped them. "Beautiful..." Huo Yun''er watched the dance nearby. With Huo Yuhao''s lead, Liu Mei bes an elegant fairy and dances wholeheartedly. Her movement is awkward but gentle, giving off an innocent impression. ''This is my happiest night ever~!'' Liu Mei smiled while staring at Huo Yuhao''s handsome face. ''The night is still young.'' Huo Yuhao winked at her. ''Let''s keep dancing.'' Soon, the surrounding guests joined the center area and danced with their partners. The unforgettable legendary party reached its peak at this very moment. Huo Yuhao danced with everydy he was close to and made a name for himself, especially among the female guests. After tonight''s party, They called him the Blue-Haired Prince. And Number One Boyfriend Candidate! Chapter 274: Tower of Babylon Chapter 274: Tower of Babylon --- Chapter 271 --- The next day. Huo Yuhao sat in the breakfast restaurant with a mild hangover. Aside from dancing with thedies, he also drank wine, which put him in this miserable situation. Of course, we are not talking about ordinary wines. We are talking about the Divine Wines that Olympus and Asgard made. Huo Yuhao yawned and sipped his cup of warm water, "I did lower my tolerance, but this hit me harder than I thought." "What about you guys?" He nced at thedies, who looked fine and chatted with themselves. Huo Yun''er smiled, "Hehe, we didn''t lower ours." "That would be disastrous, Hao''er. You don''t want to see God-level Experts like us get drunk, especially at parties like that." "Just imagine the mess." "That''s true..." Huo Yuhao nodded slowly and shivered at the thought of drunk goddesses. The Elegant Mermaid Hall. No, the entire Java Ind might not exist anymore after that night, and Huo Yuhao wasn''t even joking. Qianye Ying''er rubbed her thighs andmented, "Although we didn''t get drunk, our feet do kill us, though. Yuhao, I didn''t know your dance skills were that good." Scathach snorted, "It''s all about tempo and careful steps, which is basic in my training regime." "It seems you''recking in that field, Ying''er. Should I increase your usual training?" "No, thanks." Qianye Ying''er tly refused. "Too bad then." Scathach finished her morning coffee. "I see..." Huo Yuhao was amused by them. He shook his head gently and saw Liu Mei entering the breakfast restaurant in a hurry. "Sorry, I''mte!" Liu Mei bowed several times to them. She''s currently wearing a purple officedy outfit and looks very dashing. The only messy part is her hair, which puffed up slightly. "Well, well, well... Look what we have here. Isn''t this the Queen of Dance herself?" Qianye Ying''er teased while cing her elbows on the table and leaning on her hands. "How was it? I bet you had a good dreamst night." Liu Mei blushed, but she didn''t deny the teasing. In fact, not only did she have the best sleepst night, but she also had the best dream! "Sit down and order breakfast." Huo Yuhao pointed at the empty spot beside him. "You probably haven''t eaten anything this morning." "But the next event..." Liu Mei hesitated because the next event after the Opening Party was ''literally'' preliminary trials. She couldn''t stay here for too long. "Sit down." "Okay." Liu Mei was helpless when Huo Yuhao gazed at her with those charming blue eyes. She could only sit down and order a breakfast to fill her stomach. After drinking a ss of herbal water, Huo Yuhao finally let her go. "Wait, what is this next event you were talking about?" Huo Yuhao asked out of curiosity. Liu Mei nced at Huo Yun''er with confusion. Shouldn''t the mistress tell you about this? She sighed and exined, "The next event is the preliminary trials for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament. Too many factions applied to this tournament, so we had to reduce them to 260 by letting them climb the Tower of Babylon." "Tower of Babylon... Isn''t that tower on the branch where the exchange students stayed all these months?" Huo Yuhao returned unsurely. "Yes, they went there and received some tutoring from the Dragon Nest Academy''s tutors." Liu Mei nodded calmly. "Still, the main attraction was the Tower of Babylon, where Spirit Masters could fight with wild Spirit Beasts sent from the Advalon and hone their cultivation base. It is always odd because they built their own ranking around the tower by climbing it." "We use that ranking in this preliminary." "I believe there are 210 floors in the Tower of Babylon. How far had they reached?" Although Huo Yuhao was the one who created this fine training ground, he never checked it for years. Liu Mei looked embarrassed and answered, "69th floor. None of them could even reach the 100th floor after several months." "And the ones who reached the 69th floor were Hongchen Siblings from the Sun and Moon Imperial Academy, Yu Tianlong from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Dai Yuehang from the Shrek Academy, Long Aotian and Wei Na from the Snowdemon Sect, and Xue Yulin from Xuanwu Sect, Ling Wuya from the Star Luo Empire, and Ye Guyi from Common Alliance." "Only nine of them?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but question. "Yes. These exchange students are improving rapidly and somewhat equal to Dragon Nest Academy''s third years." "But their upbringings couldn''t be changed in mere months, so it''s a matter of adaptability." "Did you say Dai Yuehang earlier?" Huo Yun''er, who had been enjoying her breakfast, stopped. "Is he perhaps the oldest son of White Tiger Duke?" Liu Mei broke a cold sweat, "Y-Yes." "I see..." Huo Yun''er smiled a little. "Hao''er, why don''t you join this little preliminary and set the record straight?" Huo Yuhao looked at Huo Yun''er and sighed, "You do know that if I joined this preliminary, it would be no different than an adult joining a toddler''s game." "What are you saying? You''re the Zero Disciple, so people are definitely curious about how powerful the disciple of Dragon Nest''s Leader is. Go there and show them some fancy moves." Huo Yun''er retorted wisely. Huo Yuhao could only ept the small task handed to him. Even though Huo Yun''er has gone past her vengeance against the White Tiger Duke and White Tiger n, she would indirectly do something to make their lives miserable. "I will bring the Shrek Academy along." Huo Yuhao stood up and pecked Mother Fox on the forehead. "I want to go there as well." Scathach finished her breakfast and wiped her mouth in a hurry. "Me too, me too~!" Qianye Ying''er raised her hand. Liu Mei fixed her messy hair and coughed, "Ehem, let me escort you there." Huo Yun''er watched their backs with a smile and silently stirred milk into her coffee. "The White Tiger n''s luck qi has depleted over the past years, and I shouldn''t be this petty anymore..." "But I can''t help it." "My former self is nothing but a single mother who got unfairly treated." "If Hao''er didn''t change my destiny, I''m afraid I would be far gone from this world." "This is also their karma. I''m just doing my part." Huo Yun''ermented while looking at the morning sky. ... After meeting the Shrek Academy''s people, Huo Yuhao brought them to the preliminary trial and was ''literally'' greeted by a crowd of humans. No, a sea of humans is a better word to use in this situation. A tall tower made of unknown dark steel entered their vision. It was over a thousand feet above the white stone floor and emitted some spiritual aura that made one''s soul tremble. "That is... The Tower of Babylon." Some teachers from the Shrek Academy looked at the tower. "Shouldn''t it be thousands of miles away at the Dragon Nest''s branch? What is it doing here?" "We used Space-Folding Runes to teleport the tower to Java Ind." Liu Mei answered casually. "Although it was costly, the preliminary trial is much more important." She floated into the air and said loud and clear, "I see that everyone has arrived at the Tower of Babylon." "With this, I announced that the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament''s preliminary has begun!" "In ten minutes, all of you will be teleported inside the Tower of Babylon and forced to climb up. The higher you climb, the better your position in the preliminary ranking." "Only 260 teams could enter the next round." Liu Mei smiled and dropped a fun bomb at them, "So, prepare yourself because the top 4 teams would get seeded to the semi-quarter final." "What?!" The contestants were shocked by Liu Mei''sst words. They have expected early elimination, but this is rather outrageous. Some teams learned about the Tower of Babylon earlier, so they weren''t as surprised as others. But still, the pressure is on immediately. Three minutes before the preliminary, contestants (including the exchanged students) gathered in their respective teams and waited nervously. A golden-haired young man in a white battle suit approached the Shrek Academy and greeted, "Hello, everyone. It''s been a while." Ma Xiaotao''s eyes widened, "Yueheng?" "The only and only." Dai Yaoheng smiled. "And it''s not only me. I also brought the other Shrek Seven Devils with me." "Captain Ma, our team also could participate in the tournament." "We can?" Ma Xiaotao and other Shrek Academy members were stunned. Dai Yuehang nodded and exined, "The Continental Spirit Academy Tournament''s rules haven''t changed much, but we exchange students hold extra information." "We have climbed the Tower of Babylon ever since we arrived at the Dragon Nest''s Branch and got permission to contest against others." "Of course, we still need a team of seven to join." "Including me, there are six exchange students from Shrek Academy." "With you, we can form another team and represent Shrek Academy." It''s not just Dai Yueheng. The other exchange students also shared this information. "This... Isn''t the Dragon Nest a bit careless with such a regtion?" They couldn''t help but look at Liu Mei. However, Liu Mei didn''t show the slightest change of expression. ''Well.'' Huo Yuhao nced at Liu Mei and saw her nod at him. ''Where is my team then?'' He only has Scathach and Qianye Ying''er on his side. A portal suddenly appeared, and five feminine and lovely figures walked out, revealing familiar faces to Huo Yuhao. "Haha, Yun''er has nned this from the very beginning." Huo Yuhaoughed wryly. With that, the preparation time ended, and teleportation runes enveloped everyone. Chapter 275: Climbing the Tower of Babylon Chapter 275: Climbing the Tower of Babylon --- Chapter 272 --- As every team entered the Tower of Babylon, teachers and elders outside saw four massive holographic screens appear on all the tower''s sides, which further split to showcase the contestants'' performance. For example, the Shrek Academy''s elders and teachers are nervous. Although the new Shrek Seven Devils has exceeded their expectations, the new format of the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament has changed and might cause their loss. However, it seems their worry is uncalled for. ... Tower of Babylon, 1st Floor. The new Shrek Seven Devils arrived at the white-marbled room with four stone pirs, observing the surroundings cautiously with Tang Sect''s Purple Demon Eyes. Their leader, Bei Bei, observed the area and raised his arm, "Everyone, I didn''t see any enemy but to make sure." "Let''s enter Xuan Wu''s Formation first." "Wait, where is Luo Xin?" He Caitou suddenly alerted everyone. They looked around and noticed theck of their eighth member. A pleasant voice echoed in the Tower of Babylon''s 1st Floor. [Rest assured, everyone. Every reserved member is currently staying in a different space(watching you from there) and could only join the battle by recing the existing member] [Team Leader, please take note] [You only have 30 seconds of resting time after finishing one floor] [You can only change members every ten floors by saying "Exchange." followed by team member''s names] [Any member who got fatally injured would be considered a loss and sent out of the tower right away] [Lastly, the Tower of Babylon would broadcast your performance to everyone outside, so do your best~!] [Good luck, I meant it] Everyone epted this information well and already nned what they must do next. Yet their first trial appeared without warning. Wang Dong blinked and suddenly saw the entire room filled with small spirit beasts. These spirit beasts are horned hares with a cultivation age of 10 years old. However, there are countless white-furred hares in this room. With that, the preliminary officially started! Most teams thought the challenge was too easy and ughtered through the horned hares like mowing grass. However, the exchange students had more experience. They told their teammates and another team from the same academy or sect to keep their energy consumption as low as possible. They climbed to the Tower of Babylon''s second floor and were ''instantly'' weed by another room of horned hares. Of course, the horned hares are twenty years old now. Third Floor, pass. Fourth Floor, pass. Fifth Floor, pass. Five minutester, everyone finally finished the ninth floor. White light enveloped them again, and one gigantic horned hare entered their vision. The shocking part is when they found the spirit beast is over 1,000 years old instead of the expected 100. Brainless teams would run and defeat the boss straight ahead. Still, the others would definitely notice the exaggerated spirit beast''s strength on the tenth floor. ording to their calctions, the boss should be 100 years old. But the cruelty has yet to begin. After defeating the boss, they were faced with a question. [Would you like to continue or give up?] "Continue!" Everyone answered without further ado. ... Tower of Babylon, 11th Floor. Everyone made a move and faced new spirit beasts this time. Bigger and stronger than horned hares, they faced a group of fast ocelots. They have a cultivation age of over one hundred years and movement like wind. Once again, they also swept the ocelots like they were nothing and met with a mind-boggling increase in difficulty. It is because the ocelots be stronger by fifty years every time they advance. When they arrived at the 20th floor, the boss they had to face was over 5,500 years old and frightened by its ghost-like speed. The arrogant teams who wasted their spirit energy met the iron te and suffered, but the horror hadn''t even begun. Amidst this chaos, the holographic screen caught the miserable sight of several teams. "This is embarrassing." "They actually dare to look down on their enemy just because they were 100 years old..." "And now, they are exhausted when facing a stronger enemy." "Who taught these kids? That person must be beaten to a pulp!" Thud! On one holographic screen, a group of youths are breathing heavily with sweat-soaked bodies. They look like someone who has run around Java Ind several times. Looking at their sorry state, some teachers and elders couldn''t hide their contempt. In a world where strength speaks, these youths actually y around and not be cautious. Jian Bo shook his head helplessly, "They won''t survive long in the real world." "Aih, thank god our Shrek Academy has a high standard in education." "Not as high as Dragon Nest, but our students at least aren''t like this." "Yeah..." Elder Xuan Zi stared at the holographic screen silently. Aside from the Shrek Academy and other factions, he has been trying to watch the Dragon Nest Team''s performance. Nevertheless, the pool of contestants is too much, and he couldn''t see Huo Yuhao on screens. "As soon as the team starts falling, we should be able to see more prominent teams." Hemented casually. Everyone slowly climbed up to the 30th floor and started to differentiate themselves from each other. They had to fight a boss that was over 10,000 years old. To be exact, 12,250 years old! And it was a fiery bull, such a spirit beast couldn''t be fought carefreely and half of the contestants got wiped. On the 40th floor, everyone faced a massive figure covered by ck scales. They hissed in fright because the spirit beast before them was nearly 20,000 years old! The cultivation age might only increase by 8,000 years, but this spirit beast is three times more dangerous. The new Shrek Seven Devils frowned at the 40th Floor''s Boss. It can be said this enemy is tricky to defeat. "Bei Bei, this Tower of Babylon''s Boss is troublesome." Tang Yained. Bei Bei nodded, "Yeah. I don''t know how the Dragon Nest got their hand on the extinct spirit beast like this." "ss Scale Beast. From the darker color of its scale, it should be around 25,000 years old or more..." "To be honest, I''m not confident in winning." "But we must try, right?" Xu Sanshi suddenly said. "Yes." Bei Bei smiled slightly. "Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, can you control the ss Scale Beast while the rest of us are charging for a super attack?" "We can!" Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan responded firmly. Bei Bei nced at the boys, "Okay, hear me out. This is our battle n." "Wang Dong, you break the ss Scale Beast''s defense." "Understood!" Wang Dong already summoned her Sky Clear Hammer. "Sanshi, you finish Wang Dong''s job and clear the path." "Aye, aye!" Xu Sanshi grinned with Xuan Wu''s shield on his arm. "He Caitou, can your Spirit Guidance Tool release the might of a Spirit Spirit Sage, if not Spirit Empero?" He Caitou pondered, "It can but we need to charge attack for a minimum of five minutes. Teacher Fan Yu only gave me one ammunition for it, so we couldn''t use it anymore for the next floor..." "It''s fine. We will cross that bridge when wee to it." Bei Bei gave them a faint chuckle. He breathed in and shouted, "Shrek Seven Devils, prepare to fight!" ... Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and his new team have already arrived at the 100th Floor. Yup, you heard that right, the 100th Floor! The corner of Huo Yuhao''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch when seeing this unfair lineup. "I alone could sweep the Tower of Babylon with team difficulty, so why did Yun''er tell you guys toe here?" He was dumbfounded. "I''m bored!" Comined a busty pink-haired woman with fox-like traits. Yes, this person is none other than the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox, Yae. "Yuhao-onii is not happy Kunou came to y?" Kunou shook Huo Yuhao''s sleeve gently. Her innocent eyes caused Huo Yuhao to sigh in defeat. Huo Yuhao nced at the other three members, "I''m not really unhappy, but I don''t think Tower of Babylon is challenging enough for the four of you." "Especially Yuna, Yae, Kunou, and..." "Ophis." That''s right the Auspicious Monarch, and Dragon God of Infinity also joined the preliminary. "Hehe, like Yae said. We are bored." Huang Yuna giggled while still wearing her bread-themed pajamas. "Bored, bored~!" Ophis hummed with Yeoui(Monkey King''s Staff) in her hand. On the previous floor, she was beating the shit of 100,000 years spirit beasts with it. Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and looked at thest team member, "I''m surprised you also came here little fox." Huang Qiu''er blushed, "Teacher told me toe along. I didn''t expect the training ground would be this tower." "A bit chaotic, isn''t it?" Qianye Ying''er looked at these girls anddies. "You can me Huo Yuhao''s charm for that." Scathach shrugged. "He''s a chick ma wherever he goes." ROOOOOARRR! A mighty roar echoed on the 100th Floor. Huo Yuhao and others moved their gazes, staring at the gigantic azure serpentine body with a bull head floating in the sky. At the same time, thunderclouds and a red name also hovered near it. [Sky Azure Bull Python] Chapter 262: Sky Feather City

Chapter 262: Sky Feather City

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 259 --- Sky Feather City. The next day. Huo Yuhao meditated with eyes closed before the window of Dreamy Goose Hotel''s room and sighed in relief. After checking in, Huo Yuhao didn''t sleep like others and reviewed his new skills instead. Mainly the Dragon God''s Skills. After observing how the Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique acted upon activation, Huo Yuhao noticed his vitality and dragon''s energy condensed into every drop of blood inside his body, which simrly turned into pure power. It followed this continuous sequence, starting from his spinal cord, then his bones, marrows, and eventually every drop of blood. This process is the opposite of human cultivation since it cultivates one''s own blood to raise potential and strength. But even more than that, this evolution process will temper one bloodline into making each drop of blood contain energy equal to a Divine Weapon. Unfortunately, it also has a high requirement of bloodline. A ''normal'' bloodline won''t cut it because of the explosive nature of this method. One small mistake and one''s body would explode. ording to Huo Yuhao''s brief analysis, only people like Scathach, Ophis, Great Red(Rose), Tiamat, Albion, Ddraig, Vali Lucifer, Grayfia, Gabriel, Yae, Huo Yun''er, and overall pure-blooded entities could replicate the Dragon God''s Physique Sequence. On top of that, the blood cycle of the Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique is defective because of the Extraterrestrial Race''s mimicry limitation. Still, Huo Yuhao is confident he can deduce the lost parts. After all, Huo Yuhao is also a master when ites to manipting his blood because he has multiple strong bloodlines. Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao was about to discover the Dragon n''s Lost Cultivation Method. A Cultivation Method that the Dragon God invented and used to be the strongest in his era. Now you might wonder, why didn''t Huo Yuhao upgrade Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique? The short answer is he can''t because upgrading a wed product is just asking for disaster. At the very least, he had to improve the Imperfect Dragon God''s Physique first. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao gradually opened his eyes. He looked at the window and felt a gentle sunlight brushing his face. "As expected, the 20% w is quite difficult to cover." "Let''s stop for now." Huo Yuhao stood up and went to the shower. He hasn''t cleaned himself after exercising a little yesterday. ... After showering, Huo Yuhao put on fresh clothes and went down to the lobby. To his surprise, he couldn''t find any of Shrek Academy''s people and used his Divine Sense to spot them. "Well..." Huo Yuhao discovered most of them sprawling on the bed. They are probably dead tired from dealing with the Extraterrestrial Race''s endless wave. He smiled and shook his head helplessly. He changed his n and went to Qianye Ying''er and Scathach''s room. After some flirting, they dragged him to the Sky Feather City''s za and had a short date there. Sky Feather City is a bustling city where wandering merchants and spirit masters would stop and restock their necessities. Since it was a couple hundred miles away from the open sea and two settlements from the Star Luo Empire, this ce is suitable as a resting ce. Due to the Dragon Nest using Java Ind to host the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament, Huo Yuhao spotted several academies and sects resting at Sky Feather City. It seems Shrek Academy is not the only one who used this route. Even knowing this, Huo Yuhao didn''t expect to meet a group of acquaintances this fast. "Yuhao, I didn''t expect to meet you here~!" Said the Princess of Star Luo Empire with a smile on her face upon catching Huo Yuhao at a steamed bun stall. Huo Yuhao was chewing on a hot steamed bun when Xu Jiujiu and her group greeted him. In return, he coughed a few times and washed it with soy milk that Qianye Ying''er handed to him. Xu Jiujiu blinked her eyes in surprise and frowned inside. Now that she observed again, Huo Yuhao was ''actually'' apanied by two beautiful young women. One is a cold beauty with flowing purple hair and red eyes. Not only is this suddenpetitor taller than Xu Jiujiu, but she also has this profound, oppressive aura around her. As for the other young woman, Xu Jiujiu has never seen such a pure-looking girl in her entire life. Those pearly eyes, snow-like skin, and long golden hair overwhelmed her. She knew someone with simr attributes, but Qianye Ying''er was like an angel descending to the mortal world. Xu Jiujiu maintained her calm and smiled at Huo Yuhao, waiting for his response. "Morning, princess. I didn''t expect to meet you this soon." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile. He looked behind and saw two more familiar faces. Kuroka and Koneko awkwardly gazed back at Huo Yuhao. Ever since they held an inside tournament between the people from the Draconic Deus, the Nekoshou Sisters have been roaming around the Douluo Continent. It was not until two weeks ago they came in contact with the Princess of Star Luo Empire and effectively joined her team. They enjoyed their time but didn''t expect to meet Huo Yuhao here. ''Nyaahalo, Yuhao~!'' Kuroka sent him a sound transmission. Huo Yuhao sighed inside, ''So, this is your chosen team?'' ''Yup, Jiujiu is such a good host, you know? We saved her from a spirit beast, and she immediately recruited us.'' Kuroka giggled in return. Meanwhile, Koneko just stared at Huo Yuhao with bright eyes. She didn''t expect to meet him this soon. But this is also a good thing for her. Huo Yuhao was genuinely surprised by Kuroka''s story. Who would have thought after he saved Xu Jiujiu a month ago, she would fall into yet another problem? He stared at Xu Jiujiu and invited her casually, "What about breakfast, princess?" "Oh, sure." Xu Jiujiu responded happily. But before that, Xu Jiujiu ordered her team to check something first, which left only her and the Nekoshou Sisters. The Star Luo Empire''s Princess probably hadn''t realized that Kuroka and Koneko weren''t humans. They went to a nice restaurant on the za and ordered some warm yet light food. Huo Yuhao sat with Scathach and Qianye Ying''er, and Xu Jiujiu sat on the opposite side with the Nekoshou Sisters. As they waited for breakfast, Xu Jiujiu noticed the absence of Shrek Academy''s people. "I thought you would go with Shrek Academy?" She asked in confusion. "I did, but they are tired because of yesterday''s event." Huo Yuhao replied with a chuckle. "They are currently recovering at the Dreamy Goose Hotel." "I see..." As much as Xu Jiujiu wanted to know what happened, she decided not to pry further. The breakfast arrived, and they enjoyed it while talking about mundane things. Sometimes, Xu Jiujiu would mention that she had prepared a secret weapon to surprise him in the tournament. Huo Yuhao didn''t think much of it. What kind of weapon could possibly surprise him? The Star Luo Empire is not that strongpared to the Dragon Nest. Well, everyone has a great time. And that''s all that matters. Shortly after, some people from Xu Jiujiu''s side arrived at the restaurant and approached her. A person whispered something to the princess and made her frown a little. Xu Jiujiu wiped her mouth with a napkin and said sadly, "There was an inconvenience on my side. It''s sad to part ways this fast, but thanks for the breakfast, Yuhao." "By the way, I''ve paid the bills." "If we crossed the road againter, I''d be the one who invites you next time." She added with a wink. After saying that, she left with her group. Kuroka and Koneko said farewell to Huo Yuhao before following Xu Jiujiu out of the restaurant. Watching them go away like that, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, "What kind of inconvenience made her this hurry?" "Why ask, we don''t know?" Scathach didn''t even bother and enjoyed her breakfast. "It''s not like we are close to that ttery princess..." "Yup." Qianye Ying''er agreed with Scathach. "My bad for asking..." Huo Yuhao''s lips twitched. "Anyway, I noticed Kunou isn''t around Kuroka and Koneko. Where is that little fox?" Qianye Ying''er tilted her head, "You don''t know? Yae has taken Kunou as her disciple, so she stayed on the main base with her." "What, That cunning fox took Kunou in? Isn''t this just the same as tainting her innocence..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. Scathach chuckled at his shocked expression, "Don''t worry. That fox might be degenerate, but her skill is clear and suitable for a nine-tailed fox like Kunou." Huo Yuhao sighed, "I hope so." Chapter 276: The Might of Huang Qiu鈥檈r

Chapter 276: The Might of Huang Qiu''er

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 273 --- Everyone is upied with the 40th Floor''s Boss while Huo Yuhao and his teammates are reaching the 100th Floor''s Boss fine. In fact, they are facing a 100,000-year-old spirit beast without breaking a sweat. "Who is going to fight?" Huo Yuhao asked thedies. Ophis was about to raise her hand, but Yae immediately grabbed it and lowered it down. "What?" The Dragon God of Infinity was confused. Yae smiled, "Well, well, don''t be like that, Ophis." "Why don''t you leave some enemy for the rest of us?" Ophis tilted her head because she didn''t understand Yae at all. Isn''t it good for them not to move and waste their energy on these low-level enemies? If the other teams and elders outside knew what Ophis was thinking, they probably coughed blood with sharp pain in their chests. Her thoughts are even beyond Dragon Nest''s standards. Since when did 100,000-year-old spirit beasts are considered low-level enemies? Only a being like Ophis, who doesn''t know about this world''smon sense would think so. "I will go." Someone suddenly said. Ophis nced past Yae''s voluptuous body and looked at the person who said that earlier, "You?" Her tone is a little condescending but understandable from her point of view. After all, the person who said she''d like to face Sky Azure Bull Python is Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er is currently wearing a ck battle suit with Dragon Nest''s blue jersey on top and has a golden spear in her right hand. Her spear is actually the Golden Dragon Spear made from the Dragon God''s 49th rib bone that Tang San discovered by chance in the Douluo Divine Realm and sealed in her body. Talking about being irresponsible, Am I Right? On top of that, only someone with Dragon God''s Martial Soul or Bloodline, Golden Dragon King''s Lineage, or Divine-grade Dragon Blood could wield this spear. Fortunately, Huang Qiu''er possessed a drop of the Golden Dragon King''s Bloodline that Tang San sealed inside her body and the Purgatory Dragon God''s Blood from Huo Yuhao. These drops of dragon''s blood allow her to draw draconic power beyond those of pure-blooded dragons and wield the Golden Dragon Spear. Of course, this also made her power change way beyond the original story, and it would show upter. Back to the topic of the Golden Dragon Spear, it is a Divine Tool. Technically speaking, such a spear should make Ophis feel threatened. However, the Golden Dragon Spear is currently in its sealed form and Huang Qiu''er couldn''t release its ''true'' power. Huang Qiu''er nced at Ophis and then stared at Huo Yuhao, "I might be weak, but I''m not that weak... Master, give me a chance." "Well..." Huo Yuhao raised his brow slightly. "There is no harm in letting you fight the Sky Azure Bull Python." "Go on, Qiu''er." Huang Qiu''er smiled when she heard Huo Yuhao call her name. ording to her teacher, he was the one who gave her this name. So, she really cherished it. "Thank you." After receiving Huo Yuhao''s permission, Huang Qiu''er crouched on the ground and entered the running start position. Scathach squinted her eyes because she recognized this form and chuckled, "Interesting." "Yuna, did you use my old training regime on her?" Huang Yuna shamelessly nodded, "I found it lying around in the house, so I use it on my disciple. What''s the matter, you want to charge me for such a lousy book?" "Wait, old training regime?" Qianye Ying''er beside Scathach shivered instinctively. "D-Don''t tell me..." Scathach chuckled again and replied, "It is the most rigorous training regime that I devised in the early days of Dragon Nest. Any living being with a weak mind and conviction shouldn''t train it, or else they would go mad." "The current Dragon Nest''s elite training regime only encapstes 30% of my old training regime, which is much safer." "That girl, she''s not bad." She praised Huang Qiu''er. Ophis pouted andmented, "What training? That''s pure torture, you bully..." When an apathetic and naive Dragon God of Infinity told you the training was pure torture, you know it is the real deal. Meanwhile, Yae and Kunou were ''actually'' puzzled by their conversations. Isn''t it just a training regime? How bad it can be? At the same time, Huang Qiu''er finally made her move. Her lower muscles twitched as she disappeared from her crouching position. She transformed into a dark-blue shadow and approached the Sky Azure Bull Python at breakneck speed. "So fast~!" Kunou''s eyes gleamed in surprise. "Hmph, so so." Ophis unhappily snorted. Scathach crossed her arms and mumbled, "From the way she moved, she should be a quadrupedal spirit beast who had transformed into a human." "Perhaps..." "A lion?" Yae chimed in with a giggle. "Yuhao, you''re so bad." "You''re actually hiding such a talent from me. This child has immense talent over luck and destiny from birth!" Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "Don''t make it sound that bad. Go away, you already have your hand on Kunou." "Also, I trust Yuna''s ability to teach Qiu''er because they are spirit beasts with simr aspects." "You''re discriminating against poor me!" Yaeined with a pout. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes as he didn''t bother to argue with Yae because he couldn''t really let the Three-Eyed Golden Lion fall to this cunning fox''s hand. He''s also telling the truth about Huang Yuna''s ability to teach Huang Qiu''er. Huang Yuna smiled at Yae, "You better not steal my disciple, foxy woman." "We will see about that." Yae returned haughtily. Huang Qiu''er hurled herself toward the Sky Azure Bull Python like that a fired arrow and swung the Golden Dragon Spear with all her might. Golden and purple light shed from the spear tip, creating an illusion of a charging dragon. The truth is, that the dragon consists of turbulent wind and thunderfire. BAM! [Five Elemental Codex - Lightning Dancing of Fire and Wind] Huang Yuna looked at the sight of synergized elements and thought like a proud teacher, ''That''s right, Qiu''er. Element is your friend, and you may ask for their assistance in this fight." "Go down!" Huang Qiu''er roared and mmed the Golden Dragon Spear sessfully at the Sky Azure Bull Python''s head. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! ROOOOOOOOARR!! The Sky Azure Bull Python felt like a massive hammer just hit its head. It let out a painful, blood-curdling roar. Although Huang Qiu''er couldn''tpare to Ophis, her strength is still top-notch in overall attributes. Not to mention, Huang Yuna has brought the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the Self-Evolving Dungeon Advalon many times and trained her there. She lets Huang Qiu''erbat countless 100,000-year-old spirit beasts with her life on the line! With those experiences, Huang Qiu''er didn''t let the Sky Azure Bull Python go after the first attack. The Golden Dragon Spear danced in her hand and attacked every vital area of the gigantic serpentine spirit beast''s body. She''s like a crazy storm that razzed through Sky Azure Bull Python. BAM! A tailshed out and hit Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er ced the Golden Dragon Spear at the front and was ''strongly'' sent flying to one of the stone pirs. Huang Qiu''er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and grinned because she wasn''t a flower in a greenhouse anymore. She used to live well in the Star Dou Forest and was ''meticulously'' protected by the Great Beasts. Yet she could fight against spirit beasts simr to those Great Beasts in terms of strength herself. The difference is clear. It''s like she has power over her own destiny! Of course, Huang Qiu''er is still far from that level. But she could feel it. ROOOOOOARR! Blue aura gathered around the Sky Azure Bull Python as a shadow of eastern azure dragon materialized and charged after Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er breathed in and used the Universal Breathing Technique, Spirit Circuits, and blood that Huo Yuhao granted to her fully. Her body shuddered and became more refined, and slightly more muscr in thigh and shoulder parts with rose-gold dragon scales. Huang Qiu''er dragged the Golden Dragon Spear and thrusted with all she had. She even used her third eye to manipte luck and divert the iing azure dragon charging at her. BOOOOOOM! The azure dragon missed its target, but still scratched Huang Qiu''er in the process. Huang Qiu''er bit her rosy lips in pain and mocked, "A mere snake trying to imitate a dragon!" "DIE!" "True Demise!" She threw the Golden Dragon Spear and aimed at the Sky Azure Bull Python''s eyebrow. BOOOM! SPLATS! The massive bull head explodes, sttering blood and brain matter on the 100th floor. "Good job." Huo Yuhao pped his hands. He truly likes the Three-Eyed Golden Lion''s performance. Who would have thought the little lion would grow this strong in such a short time? She''s indeed worthy of Huo Yuhao''s destiny contract. Chapter 277: Tower of Babylons Purpose, and 100th Floors Reward Chapter 277: Tower of Babylon''s Purpose, and 100th Floor''s Reward --- Chapter 274 --- Outside the Tower of Babylon. Everyone was quiet as their eyes locked on the holographic screens. Their mouths are wide open, which could even fill up an entire egg. The reason behind their dumbfounded is none other than a blue-haireddy in a tight battle suit. Even though the highlight of the fight was a littlete, they could see her ying the Sky Azure Bull Python on her palm and injuring it with her golden spear. She eventually threw her golden spear and blew the Sky Azure Bull Python''s head up like a watermelon. Hiss! Everyone couldn''t help but suck a cold breath. Title Douluo Experts in the area cannot even fathom how such a youngdy could kill a 100,000-year-old spirit beast that went extinct 10,000 years ago! Her beautiful yet bloody appearance struck everyone''s heart differently today. As the holographic screen ckened and Huang Qiu''er disappeared from their vision, everyone finally could breathe again. The fight didn''tst long, maybe only fifteen to thirty seconds at most. Well, one thing is for sure today. Huang Qiu''er is going to be one of the unforgettable contestants for them. "What, what was that?" "How did that girl fight the infamous Sky Azure Bull Python and win??" "That''s a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. No, it was slightly older than recorded in old text." "What team did that girl belong to? It must be the Dragon Nest, right? Because no other faction could cultivate such a monster..." "Where else could people find Sky Azure Bull Python at that level? Let''s be logical here." "Logic doesn''t exist when ites to Peerless Genius like that girl." Xuan Zi, Jian Bo, and some other teachers from the Shrek Academy frowned at the ckened screen. They are questioning themselves right now. Could the Shrek Academy produce such a monster? The answer is yes, but actually no. The Shrek Academy can also produce a monster like Huang Qiu''er by focusing resources and training from the most elite Title Douluos in the academy into one student. The problem is that they couldn''t do it. Shrek Academy is still an academy for young, developing spirit masters at the end of the day. They couldn''t simply waste/sacrifice years'' worth of resources and efforts for one student when they advocated for fairness inpetition among young geniuses. That''s just in wrong. Of course, they couldn''t say the same for other factions. There are more selfish and goal-driven people in this world. Those people would do anything to fulfill their wildest dreams. "Sometimes I wondered how an unknown faction like the Dragon Nest got their hands on resources like runestone, spirit bones, spirit beast''s meat, blood, and other treasures..." Several whispering thoughts silently echoed in the field. "It''s enviable beyond reason." "Unfortunately, the Dragon Nest is strong." If not, the Dragon Nest would have lost their precious gooses who couldy golden eggs upon stepping into the Douluo Continent. Liu Mei snorted indifferently in the sky. Even without special powers, she guessed what these lowly people had in their minds. ''I wonder what their expression would be when other stronger girls show up and beat the rest of the floors.'' Liu Mei interestingly thought. From her observation, Liu Mei discovered that Huang Qiu''er was the 2nd weakest member of Huo Yuhao''s current team. Of course, we are talking about raw power, not the ability to change the tide of destiny. After all, besides that little fox and Huang Qiu''er, the rest of the members could turn the Tower of Babylon upside down. "Hmm? The other teams finally reached the 50th Floor." Liu Mei yawned a little. "That''s faster than I expected, maybe because this was team-based and the difficulty increase isn''t that high." The Tower of Babylon could be climbed alone, in pairs, or teams of sevens. The multiple challengers trante to a higher multiplier of the boss''s strength increase. Having six more individuals on your side is the key to sess when challenging the Tower of Babylon than being alone. Imagine how muchbination, support, and control seven people could do against an enemy. There are reasons why people like to gang up on a person. Well, this only works when the enemy is still within logical reach. Seven ants won''t do anything against Sky Azure Bull Python. ... Anyway, back to the Tower of Babylon. After defeating the Sky Azure Bull Python, Huang Qiu''er fell to the ground and moaned like a girl on a wild ride. Yes, you heard that right. She moaned! "Mmhhn~!" On top of that, Huang Qiu''er also has this suggestive yet silly look on her face that makes Ophis and Kunou tilt their heads in confusion. The rest of the team weren''t so innocent, though. They could only shake their heads at Huang Qiu''er. Huo Yuhao felt a slight heat in his groin. Of course, the evil thoughts onlysted a few moments because he wasn''t a wild animal. What happened to Huang Qiu''er right now can be considered the Tower of Babylon''s intended feature. Huo Yuhao created the Tower of Babylon to hone distant members of the Dragon Nest''s branch. Not only did the Tower of Babylon have built-in teleportation runes that grab selected spirit beasts from the Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon, but Advanced AI: Giana also ced them on their respective floors based on their strengths. The Tower of Babylon absorbed the essence of spirit beasts killed inside by challengers and umted it. Then, Giana will assign these rewards based on the challengers'' performance. In fact, the reward is rich. One could receive many things from Runestone with rare spirit rings inside, spirit bones, bloodlines, advanced battlesuits, and many others. Of course, there are requirements for such privilege. First of all, one must be strong enough(mentally and physically). Second, the rewards would only drop from the 100th Floor and above. Last, one must have Spirit Circuits and master the Universal Breathing Technique in-depth. Do you think Huo Yuhao would let others plunder his things? No, he is that generous. ''Let''s forget about thest requirement for a second. The 100th Floor alone is out of their reach.'' Huo Yuhao thought while watching Huang Qiu''er recover from her embarrassment. Huang Qiu''er still has a red blush of shame on her charming face. She looked down and felt overflowing energy inside her body. Yet this energy is only a drop in a vast ocean. The Tower of Babylon still has more, and she couldn''t wait for more rewards. "Congrattions~!"Giana''s holographic avatar appeared in the air. "Your team is the first to defeat the Tower of Babylon''s 100th Floor." "Calcting contribution and biometrics." "Contestant: Huang Qiu''er has 100% contribution and can choose one of three rewards." 1x Two Spirit Ranks'' worth of Spirit Essence. 1x Random Red Runestone. 1x Random Spirit Beast''s bloodline. "Please choose." Giana disyed the option to "Choose the first reward." Before Huang Qiu''er could ask, Huang Yuna suggested the chosen reward first. "I... Okay." Huang Qiu''er knew her teacher wouldn''t give useless suggestions. Red Runestones are like pebbles inside the Dragon Nest''s warehouse as they gather into mountains. Huang Qiu''er could ask for them for free with Huang Yuna''s ess permission. As for the Spirit Beast''s Bloodline, Huang Qiu''er is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious species. She possessed a noble bloodline already. Why would she soil it? And we haven''t included Golden Dragon''s Blood and Huo Yuhao''s Blood inside her. After choosing the first reward, Huang Qiu''er felt a rich essence, different from before, invading her body. The energy twisted and turned her body before letting her cultivation base advance to level 61. Six spirit rings materialized around Huang Qiu''er, and they are not your ordinary spirit rings. They are rose gold in color! These spirit rings were materialized by her powers alone. Yes, materializing spirit rings is the innate ability of Spirit Beast who transformed into a human. For the first time, Huang Qiu''er also showcased her martial soul. Surprisingly, there are two of them. A burly golden-scaled dragon stood on her left. And a frying pan hovered above her right hand. Wait, a FRYING PAN??! Chapter 278: Potential Divine Tool, and Tower of Babylons 210th Floor Chapter 278: Potential Divine Tool, and Tower of Babylon''s 210th Floor --- Chapter 275 --- A Frying Pan?? Huo Yuhao and others looked at the cast-iron pan above the blue-haired girl''s right hand bizarrely. It has a rusty luster that makes one look down on it instinctively, but they also know this kind of Martial Soul always has the most awkward and unpredictable development. "This..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. It seemed he had changed this heroine''s fate too much. In the original story, Huang Qiu''er is strong, but she''s not this strong. Not to mention, she wasn''t supposed to appear this early because of Tang San''s intervention. Yes, the so-called mighty god who shouldn''t mess with the mortal world.Although Huang Qiu''er possessed the Golden Dragon King''s bloodline, her prowess was limited as she could only manifest the Golden Dragon Blood Soul. What''s Blood Soul? Well, it''s a Martial Soul that''s not developed with spirit rings nor energy, but blood rings and blood energy like Huo Yuhao''s Chaotic Dragon Emperor''s Martial Soul. So, technically speaking. Huang Qiu''er should have three martial souls. Her mutated Golden Dragon was ''directly'' influenced by Huo Yuhao''s three drops of War Beast''s Blood and Destiny Contract. Herself, who is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Lastly, this Frying Pan! This Frying Pan shouldn''t be your mon'' frying pan because Twin-! No, Triplet Martial Souls alwayses in aparable quality. Mildly put, this Frying Pan has the potential to be a Divine Tool. It is such funny logic. But that''s just how it is in this Douluo Dalu Bizarre World. Now that Huo Yuhao thought about it, he had never seen this girl''s status panel. ''Evo.'' [Right away, Host!] [Opening Character''s Status Page...] [Name: Huang Qiu''er(Given)] [Race: Auspicious Beast - Ascended Human] [Age: Approximately 17,000(mentally 17)] [Martial Soul: Auspicious Rose-Golden Dragon(1+), Three-Eyed Golden Lion(6+), Frying Pan] [Cultivation: Level 61/Spirit Emperor] [Battle Prowess: Level 96/Hyper Douluo)] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: The Lion Queen, Spear Overlord, Battle Mage, Lion-Dragon Saint, Dragon Lady Who Governs Luck and Destiny, Lady in the Endless Roses, Tyrannical Cook, Heaven-Destroying Pan Wielder, Huo Yuhao''s Wife] [Description: A heroine who has taken a new path in life, grasping the gold thread tossed by her dear master] Huo Yuhao''s eyes wandered to the Martial Soul''s column and sighed inside because Huang Qiu''er really has Triplet Martial Soul. ''The Three-Eyed Golden Lion probably didn''t show up because it was herself in the first ce.'' He thought to himself. He slowly nced at the Rmended Path column and couldn''t help but sigh inwardly. Evo won''t lie to him when scanning Huang Qiu''er and her potential, so he expected some outrageous path already. Yet there is still a Heaven-Destroying Pan Wielder! Huo Yuhao facepalmed, ''My guess is indeed correct. Her Frying Pan is going to be a dangerous weapon.'' As Huang Qiu''er recovered from her exhaustion and injury, Ophis walked to her and said, "Not bad. You''re not too weak." "Thanks." Huang Qiu''er shed a smile. Ophis shook her little body and quickly added, "But! That doesn''t mean you can win Yuhao! He''s mine!" What is this? A love triangle drama? After dering her bold words, Ophis walked away and pulled out a lollipop to lick on confidently. She also has this smug look on her cute face. Where is the big-mouthed dragon girl earlier? Her nature changed so haphazardly. Even Huang Qiu''er was a little speechless. Huang Qiu''er clenched her hand hard because she knew Ophis was more powerful than her. But that doesn''t mean she would give up and let the Dragon God of Infinity bully her. ''Just wait, I will surpass you with my Master''s Destiny Contract.'' Huang Qiu''er nced at her teacher, Huang Yuna, and saw her nodding gently. Huang Yuna smiled a little, ''That''s right, Qiu''er. Stay calm and collected in front of your enemy. Do not let them take advantage of your weakness.'' Yae''s eyes shed in wonder between Ophis and Huang Qiu''er before licking her lips hungrily. This girls''petition is going to be interesting. "That''s Ophis for you, desu~!" Meanwhile, Kunou happily supported her friend. "Mm." Ophis nodded confidently. Scathach and Qianye Ying''er yawned and looked at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, should we continue to the next floor?" "We should." Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle. "The 100th floor is just the beginning. Some rewards on the higher floor might surprise you." Everyone raised their brows at his words. Although they trusted Huo Yuhao, they couldn''t take his words for granted. It also caused their battle spirit to get ignited. And the Preliminary Round continued. The contestants and teams fell one after another by climbing the Tower of Babylon''s higher floors. Of course, several teams surprised everyone because some were unheard of, like Ironblood Alliance. The three teams, which were the facade of the Holy Ghost Church, also showed spectacr performance as their Saintesses breeze through the Tower of Babylon''s floors. We also haven''t counted other teams with experts from the Draconic Deus mixed in. Although the holographic screen didn''t show their performance, their team''s ranking kept racing against each other. At noon, the Tower of Babylon is bustling with people. Every team has passed the 100th floor and experienced the rich rewards from the Tower of Babylon. However, the effect was several times weaker than the one Huang Qiu''er got because they didn''t have Spirit Circuits nor train Universal Breathing Technique. Even then, the rewards are still mouth-watering. It was also a game changer for them because they could grow in the Tower of Babylon and challenge higher floors better. Not by much, though. Some teams literally failed on the 101st floor. Half a dayter, only thirty teams are still in the Tower of Babylon. They gritted their teeth in the face of a terrifying boss on the 130th floor. They thought fighting three over 100,000-year-old spirit beasts had proven their strength, but they couldn''t do anything against this spirit beast. Yes, this also applied to the people from the Draconic Deus because they couldn''t use their inborn powers on this enemy. If not for the restriction Huo Yuhao added in their inside tournament and these pig-like teammates, they could have reached the 150th floor or higher. "Fuck, you guys are so useless! At the very least, dodge! Fucking dodge the boss''s attack!" Vali Lucifer cursed at his teammates. They are dragging him down like a dead weight. On the other hand, Sairaorg Bael sped his hand and recited, "This is a trial for my Dao Heart. I hope my foundation will gain qualitative changes as I finish this floor." Arthur Pendragon and Le Fay Pendragon because this challenge is much more problematic than they thought. Unlike Vali Lucifer and Sairaorg Bael, they formed their own team called Sword and Magic School. Their performance was doing fine until they arrived at the 130th floor. "This boss is pretty much undefeatable." Arthur Pendragon fixed his sses while dodging to the left. "Fey, don''t you think Lord Yuhao is a little too much?" The witch sighed wryly, "There must be a reason..." "We are talking about Yuhao-sama here." Thud! Thud! The sound of thumping steps echoed on the 130th floor. A massive body of translucent water gathered and formed this giant slime that couldn''t be affected by physical, energy, or elemental attacks. They tried using mental attack, but this spirit beast is pretty much mindless. Everyone has been trying to find a way to defeat this spirit beast, but nothing has worked for hours! "GOD DAMN IT!" Azazel''s shout echoed. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and his team members arrived at thest floor. They entered the throne room and saw a golden-haired figure sitting on a throne made of swords and thorns. Everyone except Huo Yuhao froze like an ice statue as they stared at the figure. "Yuhao, you''re not getting away with this!" Scathach couldn''t help butin. Yes, out of everyone, she was surprisingly the one whoined about the 210th Floor Boss. It makes one wonder just what kind of boss would made the God yer this annoyed? Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "What''s the matter, Shishou? Don''t you think this is a much better boss than those spirit beasts?" Since Huo Yuhao first ever thought of creating this tower, he always wanted to temper his subordinates to their very limit. But here is the problem. As he said earlier, Spirit Beast Bosses won''t do anymore. He needs a more challenging and dangerous boss. Something beyond this mortal realm and world. With himself as the base, Huo Yuhao practically made an artificial demi-god before he went to the Shrek Academy and ced it on the 210th floor. This is also another reason why this tower is called the Tower of Babylon. [Gilgamesh - King of Heroes(Fake)] Chapter 279: The Faker Boss Chapter 279: The ''Faker'' Boss --- Chapter 276 --- Scathach red at the annoying blonde with contempt. She was close to throwing her Gae Boig but knew such a simple attack wouldn''t work in this scenario. After all, the current Scathach is only a Clone left behind to be an exchange student in the Shrek Academy. She doesn''t possess her full power, especially the Vampire Progenitor ability. Scathach crossed her arms and grumbled, "There are many Heroic Spirits in the Throne of Heroes, heck you even summoned the Minamoto no Raikou, so why did it have to be this guy?" Huo Yuhao chuckled and responded casually, "This is the Tower of Babylon, Shishou. Don''t you think the name is a little familiar?" "As the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh is the secret protector of this tower, which means no foreign power could break it down. That''s why the Branch where the Tower of Babylon is ''actually'' located doesn''t have many members." "Of course, I couldn''t create a perfect King of Heroes. So the one sitting throne there is only a faker I created based on my own understanding of Gilgamesh.""Your understanding is skewed." Scathach squinted her eyes because the blonde on the throne exuded a powerful presence more than a God of Forest from Extraterrestrial Race. In fact, Scathach felt this King of Heroes was more troublesome than the real one back in her homeworld. Yae and Huang Yuna also sensed Gilgamesh''s aura and frowned slightly. Huo Yuhao smiled because everything worked as intended. ''Hehehe, I wonder when they will realize the truth.'' When creating this floor, Huo Yuhao was dead tired and wanted to do some trolling for the future challengers. Unfortunately, no one has reached this floor beside him. Well, that changes today. Huo Yuhao stepped back and mysteriouslymented, "Well, gotta focus on your enemy. I will stay back and watch you guys fight." "Hmm..." Qianye Ying''er felt there was an underlying meaning behind Huo Yuhao''s words. However, her thoughts were ''unfortunately'' halted when several small golden portals appeared and fired weapons at them. Qianye Ying''er summoned her Martial Soul and waved it, creating a holy light barrier around everyone. "My little disciple, assist me," Yae called Kunou out. "I need a little wind." "Yes, Sensei~!" Kunou pulled her Mourning Fox Feather Fan and created a powerful gust of wind. Yae looked at this and snapped her fingers casually, creating a fiery blue spark that ignited the forming tornado and swallowed all the fired weapons into nothingness. "Qiu''er, Scathach!" Huang Yuna stayed on the spot, watching a red and blue lightning bolt speed forward. Scathach brandished her Gae Bolg and manifested her bloodlust into a charging beast. Huang Qiu''er wielded her Golden Dragon Spear and unleashed a powerful thrust. They arrived from each side of the throne, stabbing their spear out. nk! "This is..." Huang Qiu''er watched a shield appear out of nowhere and blocked her spear. The same thing happened to Scathach, which caused her to click her tongue in annoyance. "Tsk. Anti-Pration Shields. Girl, retreat." "Let Yuna attack!" Scathach said to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. "Okay." Huang Qiu''er nodded and shed with a quick step, retreating several meters away. She was about to check for her teacher when a five-colored beam brushed her vision and attacked Gilgamesh on the throne. BOOM! The five-colored beam was ''awkwardly'' stopped by another shield. Yes, a shield that could contain Huang Yuna''s iing attack. But Huang Yuna''s attack is no ordinary attack. "Break." Huang Yuna whispered while clenching her fist. CRACK! The shield cracked, and the five-colored beam sted through. Everyone saw the five-colored beam was about to blow Gilgamesh''s head off when a portal appeared and swallowed it. "BIG, BIG, BIG HIT!" Ophis suddenly appeared before Gilgamesh and smacked his head with Yeoui. Kunou raised her hand excitedly, "Go, OPHIS~!" "..." Scathach. "..." Yae. "..." Huang Yuna. "..." Qianye Ying''er. "Wow..." Kunou was amazed. BAAAAAAAAAAAAM!! A thundering sound reverberated as they watched the King of Heroes'' head tilt slightly as if the heavy stone staff was a p and not as heavy as it should be. "Eh?" Ophis was shocked. A ''normal'' Yeoui smack from Ophis could kill a 300,000-year-old spirit beast. And that''s about 10% of her physical strength. And on this smack, Ophis used 20% of her physical strength, yet the King of Heroes is still okay. What kind of durability is this? BOOOOOM! Several concentrated golden portals surrounded Ophis and sted her with a warehouse of weapons. Ophis crashed against one of the pirs. The Dragon God of Infinity lifted her right hand and saw a small cut on her pinky finger. She pouted unhappily, "Anti-Dragon Weapons." If Ophis hadn''t coated her hand with Armament Haki on time, those weapons could have cut her fingers. Well, it''s not like Ophis couldn''t regenerate lost limbs as a Dragon God herself. She just found it a pain to do. Huo Yuhao looked at their frustrated looks and thoughts, ''Since I used myself as the base for this Gilgamesh, it is a broken boss that shouldn''t get defeated through normal means.'' ''Aih, but it''s still wed no matter how I see it.'' ''And they shouldn''t have attacked the King of Heroes...'' Scathach adjusted her breathing and observed Gilgamesh on the throne calmly. "Our attacks are too predictable." "On top of that, this annoying fellow has many weapons to counter us.'' "However, the most troublesome aspect is still the durability. I trained Ophis, so I know how powerful her attack was earlier. A mountain wouldn''t survive that, but this Gilgamesh did." "There must be a loophole." She gripped Gae Bolg tightly. "Yae, Yuna, did you detect anything weird from Gilgamesh?" "Not particrly. Everything about this boss is normal," Yae responded while shaking her head. "Yeah." Huang Yuna added in agreement. "I didn''t detect anything weird about him." "But..." "How should I put it." "He doesn''t feel real." The Auspicious Monarchmented. "I hit him, though?" Ophis tilted her head in confusion. "How could he be not real?" Huang Yuna shrugged, "I don''t know. It just feels like it." Qianye Ying''er walked to them and stared at Gilgamesh suspiciously, "Is it just me or this boss hasn''t moved a single inch from his throne?" Scathach snorted, "That''s just how Gilgamesh acts usually. He looks down on others too much." "But that''s the problem, teacher! This Gilgamesh is not your usual King of Heroes and definitely not the one you know." Qianye Ying''er rebuked. "Think about it. We are talking about a boss that Yuhao created here, no?" "You know just how tricky he could be..." "And if this Tower of Babylon is a trial, there should be a way to finish it." "Um..." Kunou suddenly raised her voice. "Don''t you think that throne is weird?" Everyone stared at the throne Gigamesh sat on and frowned because it was weird. They could feel energy fluctuation from it, but it was weak and unnoticeable without focusing their attention on it. Their visions slowly turn from haziness to a realization. Huang Yuna pouted, "So, that''s why we don''t feel anything weird from the ''Gilgamesh'' himself." "Yuhao, how cunning." Even a Divine Master of Illusion like Yae got tricked by this small gimmick. She was embarrassed by this childish optical illusion. "What a faker. Hehe, that''s just Yuhao being Yuhao." Qianye Ying''er giggled. "Master can even do something like this..." Huang Qiu''er mumbled. "Yuhao, you bastard!" Scathach scolded while pointing her finger at the blue-haired young man not far away. Huo Yuhao leaned on the wall and chuckled, "Hehe. Did you notice already?" "What''s the secret?" Ophis was confused. Kunou smiled a little and exined, "So it''s like this. Do you see that blonde guy? That''s actually not the boss of the floor. The throne is..." "So what we have been trying to hit is just a decoy." "Sometimes the easiest trick is always harder to solve." "Yuhao-Onii should have calcted that the challengers would be tired and couldn''t think straight in thest four. They are also overcautious and expect the worst from the floor boss." "Yet hiding in in sight is the real boss..." "Yuhao, you meanie!" Ophis waved her Yeoui cutely. After knowing the true boss of the 210th floor, thedies and girls focus on the throne and n their movements. They used many tactics and finallynded a solid hit on the throne after an hour. Atst, a pleasant voice echoed on the 210th floor. "Congrattions~!" "You have conquered the 210th Floor!" The Preliminary Round also ended at the same time. Chapter 280: Preliminary Rounds End Chapter 280: Preliminary Round''s End --- Chapter 277 --- The Preliminary Round is finally over. And the ranking was revealed to everyone. At the highest spot is the Dragon Nest Team. They have a golden crown mark next to their name. Unfortunately, the ranking didn''t show how many floors they have conquered. Beneath the Dragon Nest Team are three teams who sessfully entered the seeded category. They are the Dark Heaven Academy(Holy Ghost Church''s Branch), Heavenly Feather Group, and Dark Hound Gang. The Dark Heaven Academy has Grayfia Lucifuge, Tiamat, and Venna Bael. They are a strong line up that the Holy Ghost Church tried to introduce in the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament. On the other hand, the Heavenly Feather Group consists of Gabriel and six other new members. You might think her teammates are weak, but with her Martial Soul''s ability, she could turn them into God Soldiers.Surprisingly, the Dark Hound Gang also only has one member from the Draconic Deus, and that person is Tobio Ikuse. He recruited some people on the corner of Douluo Continent and strengthened them with his new Martial Soul. However, his new Martial Soul''s ability is somewhat simr to Gabriel''s vow and binding but much darker. Anyway, these teams shocked everyone because three of them were unheard of. People thought fan favorites like Shrek Academy, Sun and Moon Empire, and Star Luo Empire would dominate the brackets under the Dragon Nest. Who would have thought many dark horses were appearing in this tournament? Huo Yuhao yawned and walked with his teammates. They are still angry for tricking them, and he couldn''t do anything about it. He designed the Tower of Babylon this way, after all. "Y-Yuhao." A voice called him out. Huo Yuhao nced and found Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao with the Shrek Academy''s second team. They look miserable and have sweat, cuts, and dirt everywhere. Well, most contestants look like this. "You look pitiful. How was it, the Tower of Babylon?" He asked while using his energy to heal Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao yed with her hair embarrassingly, "It''s more difficult than we thought. We can only climb to the 120th floor by putting our lives on the line." "111th floor? That''s not so bad." Huo Yuhao positively praised them. "No, many teams reached higher floors than us." Zhang Lexuan sighed while shaking her head. "The person who created the Tower of Babylon is definitely a sadist." "I..." Huo Yuhao awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Pfft~!" Scathach, Yae, Huang Yuna, Qianye Ying''er, and Huang Qiu''er couldn''t help butugh at Zhang Lexuan''s words. As for Ophis and Kunou, they are busy in their own world. This woman doesn''t know who created this Tower of Babylon is her own boyfriend. Zhang Lexuan obviously noticed theugh and was confused. ''Is there something wrong with my words?'' Dai Yueheng walked and extended his hand to Huo Yuhao, "Ah, so you''re the exchange student I''ve heard of." "You have a strong aura around you." "My name is Dai Yueheng from Shrek Academy. Nice to meet you." "Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao nced down at Dai Yueheng''s hand before shaking it. "Nice to meet you." This little white tiger also puts extra strength in his handshake, but it does not affect Huo Yuhao much. It seemed Dai Yueheng really didn''t remember his half-brother. Ah, so ignorant and prideful. At the very least, Dai Yueheng has never discriminated against the White Tiger Mansion''s Maids like a ''certain'' young master of the White Tiger n. Will it make Huo Yuhao treat him better? The answer is no. This blonde guy is just an insignificant NPC in Huo Yuhao''s eyes. Huo Yuhao put on a friendly smile and released Dai Yueheng''s hand, "I heard you reached the 69th floor on your own. That''s impressive." "Haha, it''s nothing." Dai Yuehang tried to act humble, but everyone could see his overwhelming pride in such an achievement. "Just 69th floor?" A bored, childish voice brushed their ears. They searched for the voice and saw a cute young girl in a purple gothic loli dress. Ophis looked at them back and licked her lollipop, "We reached the 210th floor and even finished it." "What?!" Everyone was shocked. "Little Girl, you must be joking, right?" "R-Right??" They knew the Dragon Nest''s Elite and Zero Disciples should be more powerful than them, but isn''t this a little too much? "I''m not a Little Girl." Ophis put her lollipop in her mouth and stubbornly said, despite her cute appearance. "Also, I''ve never lied in my entire life..." "Ophis, you lied that you didn''t have those special candies from Yuhao-Onii a while ago." Kunou couldn''t help butment. "They are different!" Ophis emphasized that two things aren''t the same. Everyone firmly believed that Ophis was joking, but some people truly believed in her words. The reason? Well, Ophis have the freaking creator of Tower of Babylon and Dragon Nest on her side. It''s like you''re ying an online game, and your friend is the admin. Huo Yuhao didn''t deny nor confirm Ophis''s words either. He yed a neutral character in this mundane conversation as he didn''t want to create annoyance for himself. "What about the new Shrek Seven Devils?" Qianye Ying''er suddenly asked. "I didn''t see them anywhere?" Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan nced at each other before sighing helplessly, "They also passed the Preliminary round, but..." "They pushed themselves too hard like us and recovered under the Dragon Nest''s recovery team right now." "It''s understandable. The new Shrek Seven Devils'' strength is weaker than ours." Dai Yuehang suddenly chimed in. "Haha, do you really think so?" Scathach chuckled disdainfully at Dai Yuehang. "I bet you could climb to the 111th floor because you have Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan as your supports." "If they are not in your team, you couldn''t even reach the 100th floor." "Your team is put together at thest minute..." "Meanwhile, the new Shrek Seven Devils were trained by Huo Yuhao personally and have gone through life and death trials like this tower." "Each of them is stronger than you..." Scathach''s voice dripped with sarcasm, but she was telling the truth. Even Tang Ya could beat Dai Yueheng despite being a few years lower in the Shrek Academy. "This..." Dai Yueheng''s expression darkened. "Who do you think you''re!" "I''m just stating the truth..." He didn''t like how condescending Scathach sounded. As the heir of the White Tiger n, Dai Yueheng has a prideful trait in his blood. Since Dai Yuehang and many exchange students didn''t attend the partyst night, they don''t know about Qianye Ying''er, Scathach, and Huo Yuhao''s identity. Ma Xiaotao knew it wouldn''t be good if Dai Yueheng fought Scathach because thetter was too terrifying. She has experienced it personally for months. ''Yuehang, stop putting that expression. You''re asking for a beating!'' Ma Xiaotao had a headache. Zhang Lexuan didn''t think about it and pped Dai Yuehang''s head. She grabbed his head and lowered it, "Please forgive him. His vision is just too shallow." "Senior Zhang, what are you doing?" Dai Yueheng gritted his teeth. "I''m saving you and the Shrek Academy." Zhang Lexuan coldly returned. "Just take the insult and shut your mouth... We cannot afford to offend the Dragon Nest." "But..." Dai Yueheng felt this was ridiculous until a solemn figure forced him to bow down. His body shook as he realized who the solemn figure was. "E-Elder Xuan..." Yes, Elder Xuan Zi is the one who forced Dai Yueheng to bow. In fact, he has observed this conversation from afar and expected the old Shrek Seven Devils to make a good impression on Huo Yuhao and his partners. He didn''t expect this Dai Yueheng to be so autistic and couldn''t read the room. It seems Xuan Zi has to question the Shrek Academy''s elders for appointing such a person to the Shrek Seven Devils. Unknown to Xuan Zi, he was one of the elders who let Dai Yueheng join the Shrek Seven Devils years ago. Scathach snorted and walked away in a bad mood, "Hmph." "Please don''t take her words to heart. She is always that blunt." Qianye Ying''er innocently smiled at everyone, making their hearts calm down. After that, Qianye Ying''er followed Scathach and disappeared from the crowd. Huo Yuhao nced at Scathach''s back and rubbed his chin, ''Maybe my prank is a little too much. Does seeing Gilgamesh in the flesh awaken bad memories in her?'' ''I will console herter.'' He sighed inside and telepathically told Liu Mei to end the Preliminary Round. Liu Mei, who floated in the sky, cleared her throat and announced, "With this, I announced that the Preliminary Round is over." "The 260 teams in the ranking shall enter the next round, and the top four will get exempted from matches until the semi-quarter final!" "Everyone who fails, don''t be discouraged. You can still stay on Java Ind and enjoy the facility until the tournament ends." "And for everyone who passes, you must rest for a day before we proceed to the next round." "Dismissed!" Liu Mei''s thundering voice echoed in the field. Huo Yuhao stared at the Tower of Babylon and shook his head gently before asking Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao to follow him, "Let''s go." Dai Yueheng watched Huo Yuhao''s back and mumbled, "Just who is he?" Xuan Zi sighed, "How could you not know?" "He''s the Dragon Nest''s Zero Disciple..." "Z-Zero Disciple?" Dai Yueheng''s eyes widened in fear. "Doesn''t that mean he is?" "Yes, he''s the disciple of Dragon Nest''s Leader." Xuan Zi nodded his head weakly. "That blue-haired young man is the Absolute Monster among Monsters." Chapter 281: Challenger鈥檚 Feedbacks

Chapter 281: Challenger''s Feedbacks

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 278 --- As Huo Yuhao and others returned to the hotel, he nced at Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao. A question slowly resurfaced in his mind. "What''s your first impression about the Tower of Babylon?" Zhang Lexuan opened her mouth and answered, "Ahead of its time." Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao thought about it and replied, "That tower is way too innovative." Huo Yuhao bobbed his head at Zhang Lexuan''s reply, but Ma Xiaotao''s answer made him smile wryly. The Tower of Babylon is indeed way too innovative for this era. Even in the original story, Huo Yuhao was the person to develop Spirit Pagoda and started a new era where Spirit Masters could form contracts with Spirit Beasts, which somewhat solved overhunting Spirit Beasts. Why is it somewhat solved, not just solved? Well, the Spirit Beasts are fucked one way or another 10,000 yearster because of a ''certain'' irresponsible God. That guy messed with the world so much, yet not solved any of the problems. It''s like that one aggravating cousin whoes to your house on holiday and leaves everything, including your room, like a broken ship. With that in mind, Huo Yuhao nned to spread the Tower of Babylon over the Douluo Dalu and reformed the Spirit Master''s system soon. Of course, this reformation only applied to the factions that Dragon Nest approved. Fortunately, the tower is only an energy-gathering site with built-in teleportation runes and a ranking system. The Tower of Babylon''s functionality lies within Giana''s monitoring system and Self-Evolving Dungeon Advalon''s constant supply of Spirit Beasts. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you have any feedback about the Tower of Babylon''s performance?" "Hmm... Can you ask your teacher(Dragon Nest''s leader) to make the Tower of Babylon easier?" Ma Xiaotao returned immediately. "Well, everything except that." Huo Yuhao was speechless. Zhang Lexuan smiled and suggested, "Since you can''t lower the difficulty, what about adding the introduction of the Spirit Beasts and Bosses?" "Some spirit beasts we fought earlier are extinct, and we barely know their information." "But isn''t that how Spirit Masters grow?" Huo Yuhao argued back. "If you can''t gather information about your enemy in the middle of the fight, then you''re doomed when fighting in the real world." "That''s why you also have to add wrong information." Zhang Lexuan slyly added. "Every now and then, you will tell misinformation that caught the challengers off guard." ''Are you a demon?'' Ma Xiaotao thought while looking at Zhang Lexuan''s sly expression. This Senior Sister is too terrifying. Yae, Huang Yuna, Huang Qiu''er, Kunou, and Ophis, who had been quiet in the whole conversation, felt this ck-haired woman had the potential to be an ultimate sadist. Zhang Lexuan felt their gazes and coughed in embarrassment, "That''s just my words, so don''t take them seriously." "If you can''t do that, you can also make five different difficulties like Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell." "I think for the contestant to reach the 100th-floor minimum to get a reward is too difficult for the current era. Yes, I mean it." "Each difficulty will correspond to how powerful the enemy per floor can be and the reward the contestant could get. Easy is obviously the lowest, and the contestant could only climb to the 30th floor." "Let''s say you can get a small increase in cultivation on the 30th floor." "As for Hell..." "Yuhao, is it true that you and your team conquered the 210th floor?" She nced at Huo Yuhao, looking straight into his sparkling blue eyes. The sudden shift caught Huo Yuhao off guard. "It''s true." Huo Yuhao answered with a shrug. "What do you want to do with this useless information anyway?" Zhang Lexuan shook her head gently, "It''s not useless." "It can be my future goal!" "I won''t ask about the specifics, though we can use this floor as the highest benchmark for the Tower of Babylon''s whole difficulty." "I see..." Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding. "But I already expected no one in the Douluo Continent could climb or finish the 210th floor for the next ten years." "Why so?" Zhang Lexuan was curious. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Your enemy on the 100th floor is a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. Now imagine what boss you had to face on the 210th floor." "What would be the minimal requirement to challenge such a floor?" "This..." Zhang Lexuan finally realized something. Huo Yuhao patted Zhang Lexuan''s shoulder and said, "Your feedback is good. I''ll ask my teacher and see if we could implement some of it." "An insider information from me. We still nned to add more floorster." "R-Really?" "Yes." "Let''s have dinnerter. I''ll send the location to your smartwatch." Huo Yuhao smiled at Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao and left with his teammates. Zhang Lexuan watched Huo Yuhao''s back and mumbled, "How can..." "He is so handsome?" Ma Xiaotao finished her words. "Yes. Wait, no..." "What, you don''t think your boyfriend is handsome?" "That''s not what I mean. Xiaotao, you dare to tease me!" Zhang Lexuan harrumphed and gently punched the phoenixdy a few times. Ma Xiaotao giggled and hugged Zhang Lexuan instead, "Let''s go back and absorb our harvest today." "We still have so much Extraterrestrial Essence, and our cultivation base has increased by one level now." "Mm, let''s go back." Zhang Lexuan agreed, but she was still pouting. "Senior Sister, have Yuhao said that you''re..." Ma Xiaotao looked at this and asked. "Me what?" "That you''re so adorable." Ma Xiaotao grinned at her and ran away. "XIAOTAO!" Zhang Lexuan blushed and chased after the phoenixdy. Ma Xiaotao also wanted to be Huo Yuhao''s woman, but she didn''t think a frontal assault would have much effect. So, unlike Xiao Xiao, she tries to make good rtionships with his women. They said if you can''t beat them, join them. After knowing Dragon Nest has such a thing as the Tower of Babylon, she shouldn''t see Huo Yuhao''s identity too lightly anymore. In the past, she could joke about it, but now? Ma Xiaotao vowed to be a woman who could stand beside Huo Yuhao. At the very least, she wished she could be Huo Yuhao''s support in some way. And this is her method. ... Huo Yuhao returned to his stay and told them he''d check on Scathach first. "Then, we will have brunch first," Yae said after some thought. "I don''t know why she made such a huge reaction earlier, so I assumed it has something to do with her homeworld." "Yes." Huo Yuhao honestly admitted. Yae giggled, "Go and meet your lovely mentor-lover. We will be waiting at the nearest restaurant." "See youter, Yuhao-nii!" Kunou waved her hand at Huo Yuhao already. "Come on, Ophis, say it too." "See you..." Ophis waved her hand slowly. Huo Yuhao patted Kunou and Ophis, telling them to order anything they wanted from the restaurantter. The restaurant''s food stock would go to zero quickly because of Ophis''s appetite, but it''s worth rewarding her performance in the Tower of Babylon. "Then, Qiu''er and I would browse the mall." Huang Yuna suddenly said while hugging her disciple''s arm. "Yuhao, can you charge my smartwatch?" She fluttered her eyshes at him. ''Is this how a sugar daddy felt?'' Huo Yuhao thought while agreeing with Huang Yuna''s request. Even without his help, Huang Yuna has enough contribution points to buy everything on Java Ind. He nced at Huang Qiu''er and said, "Buy yourself new clothes, Qiu''er." "Don''t wear battle suits all the time." "Mm." Huang Qiu''er blushed because her battle suit had tears in some ces, exposing her tender skin to him. After that, Huo Yuhao bid farewell and went to Scathach''s temporary bedroom. There, he found Qianye Ying''er at the door with a wry expression. "What''s with the expression?" He approached Qianye Ying''er. Qianye Ying''er sighed, "Go look for yourself." "Just a reminder, Instructor Scathach''s real body ising for you in the Advalon." "What??" Huo Yuhao was shocked. He opened the door and saw Scathach''s clone drinking red wine. "Toote, you had to pay for that teasing, young man." The clone uttered while smirking at him. ... Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon. A crimson light sliced through the horizon and crashed on the ground near a ce where Huo Yuhao meditated. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw Scathach in her full glory, "This, Shishou, please don''t be angry." "I was just trying to be funny when building that floor." Scathach walked to Huo Yuhao silently and grabbed his cor, "I don''t care." "Fuck me." "Now!" ''Eh?'' Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. Are you angry or horny? Chapter 282: Teaching Shishou a Hard Lesson~! Chapter 282: Teaching Shishou a Hard Lesson~! --- Chapter 279 ¡ª (Author Note: This chapter is a dedicated lemon, so you can skip it if you do not like sexual content. I hope you guys enjoy it, though~! Peace out!) ... Scathach held Huo Yuhao''s cors and said, "Shut up, and fuck me." "Now!" ''What?'' Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. Are you angry or horny? However, Huo Yuhao didn''t have time to think because the demandingdy had ordered, and he would deliver. They looked at each other''s eyes and moved their lips closer. It is the beginning of wild lovemaking. Scathach''s red eyes zed with frustration and lust. She hungrily kissed Huo Yuhao and ran her fingers over his chest. Huo Yuhao held Scahach''s head and pressed her lips to himself more. They are making out like there is no tomorrow, making wet noises as their lips smacked against each other. Yup, this is not your gentle lovemaking. "How can an angry woman be so hot?" Huo Yuhao whispered while pecking her neck. Scathach''s nose red as she bit his ear, "Hmph! So you want me to be more angry?" "Of course not. You''re always hot." Huo Yuhao''s hand slowly moved to her ass and squeezed them yfully. Even though he didn''t put much power into his grip, Scathach still moaned a little. "Mmn~!" Scathach''s flushed face is irresistible. However, she quickly recovered and ripped Huo Yuhao''s shirt off. She smacked his chest and licked his nipple sensually. Scathach skillfully grabbed Huo Yuhao''s growing member beneath his pants and rubbed the end. Although there is a fabric in between, Huo Yuhao can feel her warm hand. Hiss~! Huo Yuhao groaned in amazement. He gave Scathach a surprised look because he didn''t know her touch was this amazing. "Do you want to cum, Yuhao?" "I know you want to cum..." "But not yet~!" Her voice is like honey. Scathach held Huo Yuhao in her palm, teasing his nipple and erecting cock skillfully. She licked his corbone with her pink tongue and traced it to his neck sensually, "You want to cum, Yuhao?" "You want to cum, big boy?" "Ask me." "Ask your Shishou for permission." She revealed her white vampiric fangs to him. "Come on, don''t be shy~!" "I want to..." "ASK NICELY, DEAR!" Scathach gripped Huo Yuhao''s stiff cock and was close to making him cum Huo Yuhao hissed softly, "M-May I cum, Shishou?" "You may, my dear disciple." Scathach smiled as she sank her fangs into his neck. "I''m cumming!" Huo Yuhao''s cock was freed from Scathach''s graceful hand and sprang in joy as rope upon rope of cum came out. They stained his pants, but he didn''t care because the euphoric feeling was enhanced further by Scathach''s blood-sucking. Huo Yuhao sighed and thought, ''That was amazing...'' ''But something is missing.'' Scathach retreated her head and licked her red lips, "That''s my good boy, your blood is delicious." "No, it''s more delicious than before." As the God of Lust, Huo Yuhao could feel Scathach wasn''t fully satisfied by this y. Well, the same goes for him. In fact, Scathach''s frustration kept growing in herher region and emitted this pleasant yet bitter scent. Huo Yuhao instinctively lowered his hand down and broke past Scathach''s underwear to finger her wet pussy. She froze and felt an electric current in her body. "What was that!" She gasped wetly. Huo Yuhao smirked and brought up his finger coated with her juice. "Shishou, you''re wet down there." "Tell me, did dominating truly satisfy your anger?" "Your horny little slut." Scathach''s eyes widened in shock when she heard the way Huo Yuhao called her at the end. Her breath took a sharp turn, and her nipple hardened behind those fabrics. Huo Yuhao moved his juice-coated finger to Scathach''s mouth and rubbed them along her pretty lips, "Lick them clean." "Lick your cunt''s juice, my Slutty Shishou~!" Scathach shivered as she slowly opened her mouth. Her tongue flicked around Huo Yuhao''s fingers, lolling around as she tasted the saltiness of herher region. Her eyes dropped into horniness. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger, and the shred of fabric that covered her chest disappeared, exposing two big white mounds with pink peaks. He grabbed Scathach''s breast with his free hand and pinched her nipple with a slight increase, enough to send another electric shock to her lust-brimming spine. "You''re beautiful, Shishou." "But sad Shishou is bad Shishou..." He kneaded her other breast and brought it to his mouth. Huo Yuhao''s tongue danced around Scathach''s nipple and sucked it deeply. Slurp~! "MM AAH~!" Scathach''s sweet moan escaped from her now drooling mouth. Huo Yuhao lowered his clean hand and rubbed her thighs, making her long for the warmth. As he kept getting closer and closer to her needy pussy, he could feel her anticipation. Yet he stopped before touching her lower lips. "Why?" Scathach said in frustration. "Fuck, fuck me!" "Please, Yuhao. Fuck me with your finger." Huo Yuhao chuckled, "You told me to beg earlier. Why don''t you do the same this time?" Scathach''s hot scent entered Huo Yuhao''s nostrils. "Yuhao-!" "No, master. Please fuck your servant~!" "I''m such a bad servant, please fuck my needy little cunt!" Huo Yuhao felt a warm sensation at the back of his palm but ignored it for now because he had a beauty to eat. He grabbed Scathach''s thighs and lifted them over, making her pussy greet his face. He opened his mouth and began enjoying her pretty lower lips, making his tongue work wonderfully into her inner ps. Slurp~ Slurp~! Scathach moaned, and her body tensed up. Frustration began to disappear from her body, and lust overcame it instantly. Huo Yuhao looked at Scathach''s twitching clit and bit it gently. "ACK~! AAAAHHHN~!" Scathach jolted and screamed at the top of her lungs, squirting a fountain of her juice. Huo Yuhao licked his lips, "Mm, Delicious." Even though not much, Huo Yuhao could feel the God of Lust''s power growing inside him. Well, it''s growing in his cock. He looked down at the Scathach, who put on an ecstasy look, and noticed her breast bouncing left and right. A cruel thought shed in his head, and he swatted her right breast. PA! "AHHN~!" The sensitive Scathach was shocked and cummed again. Huo Yuhao was fascinated and decided to be fair, so he swatted her other breast. And once again, Scathach cummed hard. "AAAHN~!" The messy piece of work before him is not the God yer. She''s just a woman longing for release. Scathach breathed huskily and gave Huo Yuhao a look of adoration. "M-M..." "Master." "More." A grin appeared on Huo Yuhao''s handsome face. He lifted Scathach and ced her on his shoulder, bringing her to the chamber in the secluded ce where he practiced Heavenly Dao. He threw her on the bed and sessfully made her stand on all fours. "Shishou." "Yes, master~?" Scathach looked back with burning gazes. "Shake that ass, make my dick hard again." "Your wish is mymand." The purple-haired goddess threw her back and swayed her ass left and right. Scathach skillfully took Huo Yuhao''s mass with her ass, squeezing the warm rod with her toned rear. She rubbed her ass back and forth as if she was a ceremonial dancer to awaken the sleeping dragon. After a few seconds, she noticed something heavy pressed over her ass. Gulp~! Although Scathach has taken Huo Yuhao many times, she couldn''t help but gulp her saliva and marvel at that majestic dick. She shook her ass again, feeling her wet pussy want to get reamed by that monster. PA! "Shishou, you''re such a good slut. MY GOOD SLUT!" Huo Yuhao said after pping her left ass. "Say it, say that you want your cunt to get pounded by me." "Master, please pound my cunt. I''m thirsty for your baby batter. Fill me up and make me your breeding bitch!" Huo Yuhao grabbed Scathach''s waist and shoved his member into Scathach. Scathach moaned, feeling her world turn upside down. She could feel her inner walls hugging Huo Yuhao''s cock and changing to fit him. Yes, her body is acting on its own to please Huo Yuhao. PA! PA! PA! Huo Yuhao pounded Scathach''s pussy balls deep, rocking her like a frustrated bitch in heat she is. "AHHN~!" "YEEES!" "MASTER, YOU''RE THE BEST~!" "FUCK ME, FUCK YOUR SERVANT!" Huo Yuhao leaned forward and choked Scathach''s neck, feeling her pussy clench more on his cock. She choked and whimpered as pleasure got the best of her. She''s no God yer. She''s no legendary warrior queen. She''s just a bitch for her disciple''s cock. Huo Yuhao fucked Scathach doggy style for a good thirty minutes and choked her off and on. At thest moment, Huo Yuhao choked Scathach and let her wail in joyous orgasm. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHN~!!" Scathach''s pussy sted with countless ropes of cum. It alone makes her look like a pregnant woman. She also squirted and pissed herself, making the bed even wetter than it already was. Huo Yuhao pulled his cock from Scathach''s pussy, and a gush of cum squirted out. "UHN~!" Scathach yelped with a satisfied grin. "Don''t be satisfied yet, my little Slutty Shishou." Before Scathach could take a breather, Huo Yuhao ced his cock on her anal entrance. Scathach was shocked and aroused. Unfortunately, she couldn''t say no because her mind couldn''t form a coherent thought. Without that, Huo Yuhao started pping Scathach''s ass without mercy and made her squeal in pleasure. It went on for another hour before Huo Yuhao filled her with cum again. Scathach''s face was ''seemingly'' stered with an ahegao look. As Huo Yuhao pulled his cock this time, she instinctively moved and slowly put her mouth to work. She made sure he was clean and ready for another round. "More, more~!" Scathach said like a foolish girl. "You want more? Sure, everything for you." Huo Yuhao kissed her forehead. They unknowingly made love to each other until noon and destroyed the ce where Huo Yuhao used toprehend Heavenly Dao. Well, he can always make them again. Huo Yuhao even heard a notification of killing random Spirit Beasts a few times when pampering Scathach. In a damp cave, two figures cuddled with each other. Huo Yuhao rested on a recognizable bed and patted the sleeping beauty on his chest. Her fair skin and purple hair glowed in the darkness, giving off a mystical feeling. He waited for Scathach to recover her wits, which took around five minutes because of the rough fucking they did. Scathach slowly opened her eyes and revealed a pair of crimson eyes filled with satisfaction. She smiled slightly and opened her mouth, "That was amazing." "I felt like dying several times, but those times are also the best moment for an immortal like me." "Hmph, you''re on a demon time earlier, master." "Is that supposed to be apliment?" Huo Yuhao chuckled a little. Scathach hissed and added, "God, I wish you would break me apart with your dick." "I can''t even be mad at you anymore." Huo Yuhao was curious, "Actually, why are you mad at me?" "Well..." Scathach put on a helpless look. Chapter 283: Master and Servant Chapter 283: Master and Servant --- Chapter 280 --- After pampering Scathach for hours, if not days, in the Advalon. Huo Yuhao finally blurted the long-awaited question, "Actually, Shishou... Why are you so mad at me?" "Well..." Scathach put on a helpless look. She rubbed her finger on Huo Yuhao''s chest and replied, "You see. I was thinking my life so far has been fulfilling. And you kept your part of the deal when summoning me to this world." "When you summoned that cow (Minamoto no Raikou) in the Draconic Deus, I didn''t think much of it because she didn''t trigger anything in my soul." "However, today... Seeing fake Gilgamesh on the 210th floor makes me remember the old days in my homeworld. Of course, I''m not talking about the boring parts." "Back then, I was having fun ughtering my way everywhere I wanted." Scathach clicked her tongue and added, "Then, a realization hit me, Yuhao." "I miss my homeworld and the Holy Grail Wars, where masters would summon me and fight against other master servants." "Although this world is much more interesting, the Holy Grail Wars'' intensity, thrill, blood, and victory are unforgettable." "Unfortunately, I can''t go back to those times. I''m not a Heroic Spirit in the first ce." She chuckled bitterly. [Ding! You have created a bond with''Scathach!''] [The God of Lust''s Power is activated] [After having sex with Scathach, you have acquired the following divinity and evolved them to your level] [Scathach''s Divinity of Blood >> Divinity of Iron Blood] [Scathach''s Divinity of War >> Divinity of Holy War] [Scathach''s Divinity of ughter >> Divinity of Star ughter] [Scathach''s Divinity of Magic >>> Divinity of Primordial Magic] [Ding!

You formed''Lust Bond''with''Scathach!''] Huo Yuhao and Scathach froze on the spot. Huo Yuhao looked at the back of his left hand and saw a red mark, which looked like the Master''s Command Seal in the Holy Grail War, consisting of three red spears crossed with each other. On the other hand, Scathach felt a warm sensation on herher region and saw a dragon''s head tattoo above her pubic(womb). "This..." They looked at each other in confusion. Huo Yuhao checked the effects of Lust God''s Partner Mark and Lust Bond and was speechless. After all, this never happened when he had sex with Gabriel, Kuroka, Eluxia, Bing Di, and Tian Meng in a row. ... [Lust God''s Partner Mark] [A Permanent Mark that bestowed for a woman who has won the affection of Lust God] [1st Trait - Lust God''s Partner, which enhances all attributes by 100%, grants immortality and eternal beauty] [2nd Trait - Persona Preservation, preserve the partner''s persona even if she has gone through reincarnation and soul destruction] ...

It also would heal any injuries and open hidden potential] [2nd Trait - Whenever You Are Ready, Lust God can sense his partner and vice versa, which would pinpoint each other''s location beyond space, time, and dimension] ... Scathach stared down at the dragon''s head tattoo over her pubic and felt it pulsating with slight heat. She bit her lips because this sensation was too inducing. "Yuhao-! How did you have Command Seals?" She was about to ask Huo Yuhao a question, but then the red mark on the back of his left hand caught his attention. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and answered, "This is not Command Seals. It''s Lust Bond." "A part of my divinity. I just learned about it." The God yer listened to Huo Yuhao''s brief exnation and nodded in understanding, "In short, the Lust God''s Partner Mark and Lust Bond connected us." "Are there any possible side effects?" "I don''t think so." Huo Yuhao honestly replied. "My God of Lust''s power is pretty tame." "Everything is fine then." Scathach suddenly pecked Huo Yuhao''s lips. "With these marks, I''m one step closer to you." Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Aren''t we already close enough?" "No." Scathach snuggled on his chest. "Yuhao, what do you think of me calling you Master?" "I thought you were ying a character earlier?" Scathach pouted andined stubbornly, "You have Command Seals. I''m your Servant, and you''re my eternal Master." "Yes, yes, you''re right." Huo Yuhao could only agree after seeing his adorable mentor. After cuddling for a few more hours, Scathach finally left Huo Yuhao''s embrace and wore new clothes. Blood particles left her skin, basking her in beautiful light. "You can clean stains with blood?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butment in awe. Scathach put her legs into the ck, silky stockings and swayed her hips hypnotically, "It''s Magic, Master. Everything is possible with Magic and a little imagination." "I can definitely see magic from that ass." Huo Yuhao shed a grin at her. "Fufu, your humor is something else, but I don''t dislike it." Scathach returned coyly. "Anyway, thank you for consoling me earlier." "I never thought I''d be that stressed out." "Comprehending four Divinities puts pressure on me." "But Master, you would relieve and give me your delicious baby batter when I pent up, right?" "Anytime. I aim to please." Huo Yuhao winked at her. Scathach kissed Huo Yuhao''s forehead, "That should be my words." "See you soon, Master~!" After saying that, Scathach left in a good mood. Huo Yuhao watched her figure and smiled weakly, "This side of her is adorable." "But Holy Grail Wars, huh?" "That wasn''t out of imagination. If Shishou really wants to go, I don''t mind using this." He fished out an ethereal-looking golden ticket with white runes all over it. [World Travelling Ticket] "The World of Fate(Nasuverse) is quite an interesting ce to visit." "But let''s wait until I finishprehending Heavenly Daos first." "They are harder than I thought." He sighed bitterly. He stored the World Travelling Ticket and continued, "I also have to bring Robin back to One Piece World because the two-year promise with her crew was about toe." "Well, let''s do it step by step." He snapped his finger. The cave slowly fixed itself as Huo Yuhao used the Ancient Godlight Devil''s power. He even fortified the bedroom in case his lovers woulde and knock on his front door. Huo Yuhao sat on the bed and closed his eyes, "I hope I wasn''tte for supper." ... Java Ind, Scathach''s Bedroom. Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes and saw Qianye Ying''er(clone) lying on the bed with a look of adoration on her face. Weirdly, he couldn''t see Scathach(clone) anywhere. She noticed his aura changing and asked, "How was it?" Huo Yuhao smiled, "Everything should be okay from now on." "That''s such ame reply." Qianye Ying''er buzzed him. "What? You expected me to return and brag that I have railed Shishou good?" "Well, that sounds better." "You sly girl. Are you sure you''re not a fox?" "Hehe, if you want me to be one, I''m willing." "You..." "Pfft-! Hahaha~!" Theyughed right after. Qianye Ying''er clenched her stomach because sheughed too much and said, "I have surprising news for you, by the way." "Oh, what is it?" Huo Yuhao sat on the bed. Qianye Ying''er rolled around the bed and answered, "While you''re gone to console Instructor Scathach, a powerful mental power swept Java Ind. It was instantaneous, but I and other experts from the Dragon Nest can feel it." "It''s not from Douluo." "Of course, that level of spying couldn''t see past the Primordial Rune Barrier we set. Yet I felt it has something to do with your new girl." "New Girl, Lexuan?" Huo Yuhao frowned. "No, not her." Qianye Ying''er lifted her index finger and shook it yfully. "It''s none other than Huang Qiu''er, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion whom Huang Yuna had taken as her disciple." "Ah, I see." Huo Yuhao finally got it. "I know who was spying on Java Ind." "Really, who is this foolish fellow? Is this person a God of this world?" Huo Yuhao smiled and made his voiceically deeper, "Yes, and his legend has spread since 10,000 years ago." "Don''t tell me..." Qianye Ying''er guessed in her head because she had never heard Huo Yuhao sound this sarcastic before. "Yup, you guessed it." "I''m talking about the legendary Sea God, Tang San." Chapter 284: Supper and Another Yandere

Chapter 284: Supper and Another Yandere

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 281 --- "Sea God, Tang San." Qianye Ying''er mumbled curiously. "What''s a connection with Huang Qiu''er?" Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and chuckled wickedly, "Do you really want to know, Ying''er? You might change your perspective on this legendary figure, who ascended to godhood 10,000 years ago." "Isn''t he just a senile old man then?" Qianye Ying''er snorted at Huo Yuhao''s words. "You achieved more than him." "That''s your words, not mine. After knowing this information, you can''t unhear it." Huo Yuhao shrugged and began exining Tang San''splex connection with Wang Dong and Huang Qiu''er. Qianye Ying''er listened patiently and couldn''t help but frown in the first ten seconds. And her frown became deeper as Huo Yuhao described Tang San''s extra deeds. Learning this knowledge made Qianye Ying''er disgusted and sick. She thought her father was horrible, but Tang San was not far from him. "No wonder I always felt something was off about Wang Dong." Qianye Ying''ermented slowly. "Not only was she the daughter of Sea God, but she also came to the mortal world to y around..." "How spoiled can you be when raising your kid, Sea God?" "And this Sea God, he actually messed with Auspicious Creature and made an inversion in World''s Destiny by sealing half of his daughter''s essence into the innocent spirit beast." "That''s just another level of being irresponsible." "I''m surprised Cmity Lightning didn''t hit and roast him off." ''Well, he was the protagonist.'' Huo Yuhao answered in his head. Qianye Ying''er sat on the bed and cunningly asked, "What''s your n for Sea God?" "For now? Nothing." Huo Yuhao gave a vague reply. "Really? You''re lying as easily as you breathe, Yuhao." Qianye Ying''er rebutted. Qianye Ying''er has known Huo Yuhao for years. His backup n even had a backup n, so how could he not do anything to a threatening entity like the Sea God, Tang San? Huo Yuhao shrugged and added, "If you''re talking about taking over the Divine Douluo Divine Realm, I won''t do it for now. That ce was on the verge of breaking apart due to internal conflict." "What do you mean?" Qianye Ying''er curiously blinked. "It''s like this..." Huo Yuhao whispered into her ears. The more Qianye Ying''er listened. The more her eyes lit up in anticipation. Qianye Ying''er giggled, "I mean, I''d do the same if annoying bitchese out of nowhere and bother our peaceful world. Not to mention, if the annoying bitch actually has extra privilege, that makes her a threat." "Such a funny analogy, but fit." Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement. "Well, enough of that guy. He can''t do anything to Huang Qiu''er with Yuna around." "Do you want to grab supper at Shelby?" "The restaurant near our hotel?" Qianye Ying''er tilted her head. "Yes." "Lead the way then, sir." "As your wish, mydy." Huo Yuhao and Qianye Ying''erughed as they held hands and exited the room, moving to the Shelby Restaurant outside their hotel. As they reached the restaurant, however, their expression changed very quickly. "Holy shit." Huo Yuhao watched amotion inside. "Yeah, holy shit indeed." Qianye Ying''er couldn''t disagree. "This is what happens when you leave someone with a bottomless stomach free." Watching through the tinted window, Huo Yuhao and Qianye Ying''er saw the restaurant''s servers running back and forth to a ''certain'' table with three people. A pink-haired woman, a blonde girl, and a ck-haired girl sat at that table. And the ck-haired girl keeps throwing food into her mouth, making things disappear like magic. Yes, it''s just like a vacuum cleaner. Even from outside, they could see a small mountain stack of tes. "Let''s enter." "Yeah..." As they entered the restaurant, Ophis finally stopped eating and licked her lips in satisfaction. "Yuhao, you finally came!" Those words sound wrong, but Ophis is just that ignorant. "Yuhao-onii!" Kunuo greeted with a smile. Yae sipped her fruit juice andmented, "Consoling Scathach must be a pain." "Not really. Shishou is a handful, but that''s just her regrly." Huo Yuhao sat beside Ophis. "I see that your appetite has increased again, Ophis." "Mm." Ophis nodded. "Ever since the Scary Bully (Scathach) trained me, my body kept wanting nutrients despite me not having to eat before. Apact food with rich nutrients would do, but they taste horrible." "Should I cook for you?" Huo Yuhao waved at the waitress and ordered a te of poutine for himself. Ophis''s eyes lit up, "Yuhao wants to cook for me?" "Anytime." Huo Yuhao smiled at the Dragon God of Infinity. ''At this point, I''d lose 1% of my wealth if I didn''t do so.'' You might think 1% is not much, but remember Huo Yuhao''s position in the Dragon Nest. Even though contribution points are worthless, he can''t use them recklessly, or Dragon Nest''s economy will drop. Simply put, Huo Yuhao was in trouble. ''Hehe, look. The consequences of your action.'' Yae and Qianye Ying''er knew why Huo Yuhao wanted to cook for Ophis. "Yuhao-onii. Can I taste your cooking as well?" The little fox asked with gleaming eyes. "Sure." "But let''s eat our supper first." After emptying Shelby''s food stocks, Ophis reluctantlyes out with Huo Yuhao and others. They could hear a collective sigh of relief when a monstrous little girl stepped out of the restaurant. "Where should we go next?" Ophis fished out her lollipop. "Let''s search for Yuna and Qiu''er." Huo Yuhao replied casually. It shouldn''t be hard finding those two because their fortune aura is like a pir of beam for Huo Yuhao. They went to the mall and immediately spotted the master and disciple at Athena Gallery. The same shop Huo Yuhao visited with Huo Yun''er yesterday for his suit. The corner of Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched because he was sure Huang Yuna would make a custom-made order. There shouldn''t be a problem like Ophis because the Auspicious Monarch knew when to stop. They entered the Athena Gallery together and were ''surprisingly'' greeted by Huang Qiu''er in her new lovely white-blue dress. Compared to her fierce appearance before, she looks like a fairy now. "Oh, you look good, Qiu''er." Huo Yuhao praised honestly. Huang Qiu''er blushed, "Thank you for thepliment." But deep in her mind, she was thinking of ordering more dresses like the one she was wearing. Huo Yuhao looked for Huang Yuna but didn''t find her, "Where is Yuna?" "Ah, the teacher is discussing with the owner. She''s going to make a custom-made hoodie and pajama." Huang Qiu''er replied. "As expected." Huo Yuhao''s guest was correct. "Yae, Kunou, Ophis, and Ying''er. You can buy new clothes if you want." "Okay!" They responded excitedly. Ophis and Kunou weren''t thrilled with new clothes or dresses. Still, they also wanted to hear Huo Yuhao''s praise. Left alone with Huang Qiu''er, Huo Yuhao told the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to sit with him on the sofa nearby. She agreed and sat beside him silently. They didn''t say anything for a good minute before Huo Yuhao finally told her the news about Tang San''s spying. Surprisingly, Huang Qiu''er didn''t show much of a shock. Huang Qiu''er smiled and said, "Teacher Yuna has told me that a Divine Will is searching for me and assured me that I would be fine with her around." "To be honest, I am angry." "I''m angry because someone messed with my destiny, but I also admitted that I''m not strong enough to grasp it myself yet." "One day. One day, I will be strong enough to beat Sea God!" Huang Qiu''er clenched her hand, revealing a solemn goddess-like aura for the first time. Huo Yuhao looked at this and couldn''t help but stretch his hand. He reached for her head and rubbed it gently, "That''s right, you can do anything when you''re strong enough." "Even a Godking like Tang San is nothing for you in the future." "Mm~!" Huang Qiu''er happily epted Huo Yuhao''s rubs. It feels so good. ''I can do anything when I''m strong enough. Aaah~! If possible, I want to be loved by Master and be his lover. Being a mistress, and concubine doesn''t sound bad as well...'' An excessive obsession formed inside Huang Qiu''er. ''And not even Godking can stop me!'' Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao has made yet another Yandere. Chapter 285: Dinner and Tower of Babylon鈥檚 Expansion

Chapter 285: Dinner and Tower of Babylon''s Expansion

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 282 --- The night came and made the entertainment district on Java Ind more packed and bustling with lights. Of course, this is also due to the recent preliminary round. Those who fail could only release their pent-up frustration tonight. But they couldn''t me anyone but themselves for performing poorly. Huo Yuhao walked on the street, wearing a white sweater and a ck coat over it. His long legs covered loose ck pants, making him look charming under street lights. His natural charm has always been heart-striking. And being God of Lust could easily incite phenomenon in the opposite gender''s maiden hearts. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao doesn''t care about these people. He ignored their gazes and strode toward the Mti Hotel, where Shrek Academy people stay. Huo Yuhao stopped and saw the new Shrek Seven Devils with Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and some elders at the hotel''s entrance. They are clearly waiting for him. He smiled, "What are you guys doing at the front gate." "Are you guys waiting for me?" Wang Dong, being the tsundere that she is, immediately rebutted, "Who is waiting for you, hmph! The air outside is just nicer." ''Yeah, sure. I knew damn well every hotel on the ind got equipped with air-refreshing machines. You couldn''t see them because you''re a dum dum.'' Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. "Well, you look spirited enough. It seems the Tower of Babylon doesn''t put pressure on you guys." Cough! Cough! The new Shrek Seven Devils coughed awkwardly. "Please don''t tell such a joke, Yuhao." Bei Bei scratched his neck. "We barely passed the preliminary round." "If we don''t have Xiao Xiao, He Caitou, and Luo Xing on our side, we wouldn''t pass that 100th floor and end at 110th floor." "Interesting, so I assume someone is contributing nothing." Huo Yuhao casually jokes. Of course, he peeked at Wang Dong when saying that. "Yuhao, are you looking down on me?!" Wang Dong was furious. Huo Yuhao used his poor acting skills, "What? When did I say that?" "Xiao Xiao, back me up." Xiao Xiao stepped forward and rubbed her chin like a mystery-solving detective, "Indeed, Yuhao never said he was looking down on you. That must be your feeling, Wang Dong." "I''ve read a book before that says people who always say nonsense are usually projecting their inner self to others. Given how you always act around Huo Yuhao, are you perhaps overwhelmed by his talent and strength?" "A study also says people who are mad at a certain individual are because they want to feel weak and dominated by that person." Xiao Xiao, What book are you reading?? Huo Yuhao and others looked at the green-haired girl bizarrely. Xiao Xiao felt gazes on her body and smiled slyly at Wang Dong, "Wang Dong, I''m not insinuating anything, but..." "Stop speaking nonsense, Xiao Xiao!" Wang Dong blushed a little. "W-Who wants to feel weak and dominated..." Wang Dong''s reaction made thedies cock their eyebrows, especially Xiao Xiao, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao. ''Oy, oy, stop blushing, girl. Your cover is falling.'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but facepalm at this cross-dressing girl. At least, act like a guy, Wang Dong. Growl~! A growling soundes from Xu Sanshi''s stomach. Everyone looked at him, and he shamelesslyughed. "Haha, can we go to the restaurant already? That insane floor-climbing makes me hungry and tired." "Well, let''s go to the second famous restaurant on Java Ind, Golden Peacock Pce." Huo Yuhao agreed, changing the topic to their next destination. "Second famous, not the first? With your position, you shouldn''t have trouble making a reservation at the most famous restaurant, no?" Xu Sanshi gave Huo Yuhao a suspicious look. Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly and replied, "The most famous restaurant was out of food stock." "Out of food stock, damn." Xu Sanshi was speechless. "Did someone eat the whole restaurant as well?" "Hahaha, you have no idea." After that, Huo Yuhao brought them to the Golden Peacock Pce and booked the best room. Yet they met with people from the Sun and Moon Empire on the way there. "Zero Disciple. I didn''t expect to meet you here." Jing Hongchen greeted Huo Yuhao with a smile. Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly, ''Of all people, I have to meet this guy here.'' ''But this encounter also made me remember to check on Spirit Embryoter. Unfortunately, the Snow Empress is still deep asleep.'' He patted Jing Hongchen''s shoulder quickly and said, "Yeah. I hope you enjoy the restaurant, bye!" "..." Jing Hongchen silently watched Huo Yuhao and Shrek Academy people entering the Golden Peacock Pce''s best room. "Should we follow the Zero Disciple?" Jing Hongchen''s granddaughter, Meng Hongchen, suddenly said. Jing Hongchen shook his head bitterly, "Let''s not disturb his time. We cannot afford to stay in the Golden Peacock Pce for too long." "At this rate, we would spend too many contribution points!" "Eh, but didn''t we still have a few million?" Meng Hongchen couldn''t help butin. She wanted to see her prince charming more. "Those are our funds until the tournament ends." The bespectacled man didn''t budge. "Xiao''er, drag your sister." "Yes, Grandpa." Xiao Hongchen, who has been quiet all this time, grabbed his sister''s hand and dragged her back to the hotel. "NOOO, MY PRINCE! PRINCE YUHAO!!" Meng Hongchen cried out. Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and others from the Sun and Moon Royal Academy couldn''t help but feel embarrassed. It happened because a girl fell in love with theirpetitor''s golden boy. They endured it with their thick faces, though. ... In the private dining room, Huo Yuhao sat down with Zhang Lexuan on his left and Ma Xiaotao on his right. He asked a waitress to bring the menu and gazed at the new Shrek Seven Devils. "Order anything you want. However, don''t waste it." "Understood!" They responded excitedly. After all, Golden Peacock Pce is fancier than their dinner at the Shrek Academy. The food here must be tasty and possess nourishing effects. Huo Yuhao nced at Elder Xuan and then proposed, "Elder, I know you want to say something. Feel free to utter your confusion, and I will answer it to the best of my ability." Xuan Zi ordered some wines shamelessly and coughed, "Well..." "Yuhao, your rtionship with Shrek Academy was superficial. We even asked you to teach the new Shrek Seven Devils by trading Zhang Lexuan off." "To be honest, I''m ashamed." "Stop beating around the bush." Huo Yuhao gave him a funny look. "Also... You make my girlfriend look bad by saying you traded her off." "She''s a person, not an object!" "Yuhao..." Zhang Lexuan felt touched. However, she actually agreed with Elder Xuan. Shrek Academy has nothing but pretty girls to appease Huo Yuhao. For Zhang Lexuan, it was a necessary sacrifice to make Shrek Academy great again. Yet here, he actually appreciated her more than that. People say love is blinding, and Zhang Lexuan learned it firsthand today. Elder Xuan thought his skin was thick enough, but the blue-haired young man''s words made him feel so ashamed that heughed at himself inside. "Hah, you''re right." "I will stop beating around the bush. And ask if you can give the new Shrek Seven Devils, if possible, ess to the Tower of Babylon every three months?" "You can take this question for nothing. I don''t mind." "Sure." Huo Yuhao agreed casually. "I know it''s too much-! Wait, what?" Elder Xuan and others were shocked by Huo Yuhao''s reply. Huo Yuhao shrugged and told him a secret instead, "This is a secret, but I don''t think it matters right now. The Dragon Nest nned to spread the Tower of Babylon and build them on the suitable faction." "This..." Such news is indeed shocking. Elder Xuan doesn''t know what to say. "W-What are the criteria?" Elder Xuan doesn''t care about status anymore and learns from his table. Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "First of all, that faction must form a rtionship with the Dragon Nest one way or another. It can be subordination or simply business rted." "Second, a faction must pay 25% of the strategic resources to keep the tower active annually." "Last and most important, only those who reached the top thirty in the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament can get their hand on this privilege." "Top thirty!" Everyone in the room, except Huo Yuhao, sucked a cold breath. They didn''t know Huo Yuhao just made shit up on the spot. Chapter 286: Snow Empress鈥檚 Upgrade Awakening

Chapter 286: Snow Empress''s Upgrade Awakening

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 283 --- After dinner, Huo Yuhao returned to his hotel. He crashed on the couch and pulled an hourss-shaped device from his inventory. Lies within this device is the Spirit Embryo of a powerful spirit beast, the ruler of Extreme North. In fact, if this spirit beast didn''t go through human transformation, no one could catch her. Unfortunately, some people found the Spirit Embryo in her worst moment. Atst, she was lucky enough to end up in Huo Yuhao''s hand. Even in the original story, this also happened. Huo Yuhao was about to check on the Spirit Embryo when a green figure appeared beside him. It was a green-haired girl in an icy-themed gothic loli dress. "Bing Di." He called her out. "This is snow." Bing Di ignored Huo Yuhao and stared at the green-white crystal inside the hourss-shaped device. "There is no mistake, Yuhao." "This is my snow." "Who is your snow? Since this Spirit Embryo is a gift, it should be my snow." "Stop ying around!" She pouted and punched him a few times with no real power behind them. "You already knew this is Snow Empress when getting the gift from that shady guy(Jing Hongchen)." Huo Yuhao chuckled and returned, "Hey, don''t be like that. I''m just trying to melt the ice. You''re too stiff, Bing Di." "Hmph!" Bing Di knew Huo Yuhao was making puns with that reply. "Anyway, do you have a way to help Snow?" "Well... About that. I can help her with that." Huo Yuhao answered casually. "However, she might need to undergo a different transformation than you, Bing Di." "You mean an alternative evolution with your mysterious power?" "Yes. Since you can evolve into a phoenix by fusing with Water Luan''s essence and essentially go through a rebirth, I can''t do the same to the Snow Empress because her Snow Element is too pure and abstract." "Do it, then." Bing Di shook her hands. "As long Snow can wake up, you can help her." "Listen to me first. I''ve helped many people by strengthening their best attributes, but those people were awake. I don''t know what might happen if I tried to do the procedure on the unconscious Snow Empress." "Not to mention, Snow Emperor is in her Spirit Embryo state. Anything reckless would harm her." Huo Yuhao has grasped how powerful Upgrading Tickets can be. He used them on his loyal subordinates and upgraded their best attributes, which led to the fast development of Dragon Nest. Yup, you heard that right. It is why Dragon Nest grew so fast and left people on the Douluo Continent to bite the dust. Upgrading everything is the base of Dragon Nest. However, Huo Yuhao has never tried upgrading someone when they are unconscious. It could lead to aplexity beyond his understanding. Bing Di frowned and took Huo Yuhao''s words seriously. She had seen Huo Yuhao use his Upgrading Ticket, though don''t know what it was, and understood it was a miraculous power above this world. But if Bing Di had to make a bet, she''d rather bet it on Huo Yuhao. "Please, Yuhao. You''re the God of Fortune." Bing Di grasped Huo Yuhao''s hands and held them tightly. "You can easily prevent bad things from happening." "Just this once..." "Please." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly and kissed Bing Di''s forehead, "You don''t have to beg. I would fulfill your wish." "I''m just asking for consent earlier." "Snow Empress must be very important to you." "Snow, she''s like family to me. No, we are closer than that." Bing Di enjoyed Huo Yuhao''s pampering. "I would be a bad lover if I can''t help my lover''s friend." Huo Yuhao joked casually. "You can even add Snow into your harem." Bing Di said in return. "I think she would be fine with it." Huo Yuhao''s eyelids twitched, "Do you think I''m searching for harem members left and right?" "You don''t?" Bing Di tilted her head. "Oh, right. Women are throwing themselves at you usually." ''BUUUUURRRRN~!!'' Tian Meng''s voice suddenly echoed from the Spiritual World. "..." Huo Yuhao. ''Boom! Papa, roasted~!'' Helena''s adorableughs followed shortly after. ''Sorry, Yuhao. I was busy cultivating, and these two are bothering your time with Bing Di.'' Even though Eluxia sounds sorry, there is a slight amusement in her tone. Huo Yuhao facepalmed and sighed, "Am I that kind of person?" Bing Di reached for Huo Yuhao''s head and patted him, "Even though you''re harem hungry, I will always love you, Yuhao." "Is that supposed to be constion?" "Huh, uh." Bing Di nodded like a proud chicken. I mean, phoenix. Huo Yuhao hugged Bing Di gently and ced her on hisp while using his mental power to lift the hourss-shaped object. He breathed in and applied the Divinity of Fortune to bless the Snow Emperor. He even used his overpowered probability-altering skills like High Roller and Dice, which he never used on someone before. And it is to protect the Snow Emperor. After thinking about it, Huo Yuhao decided to use the ck Gold Upgrading Ticket. At first, he wanted to use Gold but thought it would be too low. Snow Emperor''s race is Heavenly Snow Woman. She is a literal spirit of snow and winter. Using the Gold Upgrading Ticket would only upgrade her race slightly. Gold is the bare minimum. And he couldn''t use tinum recklessly. That left a ck Gold Upgrading Ticket! [Ding! Do you want to use the Upgrading Ticket on the ''Spirit Embryo(Snow Empress)''?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes glimmered with expectation. [Upgrading the ''Spirit Embryo(Snow Empress)'' with a ck Gold Upgrading Ticket] [Upgrading...] The hourss-shaped spirit guidance tool shed in the air, releasing rapid beeping noises. The outeryers cracked because of Snow Empress''s sudden burst of presence. Intense cold escaped and immediately froze everything around the hourss-shaped device. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and turned the whole bedroom into a mirror dimension, or the hotel he stayed in would get destroyed. As the room moved and rearranged itself, an audible heartbeat echoed. Thud! Thud! The crack on the hourss-shaped device slowly spread, and the room temperature rapidly dropped. "Absolute Zero... And this is just excessive energy Snow released." Bing Di uttered when sensing the coldness in the air. "Yuhao, what kind of bizarre thing you did to her?" Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "I already said the effect might exceedmon sense." CRACK! BOOM! BOOM! Snowkes started appearing in the mirror dimension. Huo Yuhao covered Bing Di with his coat and stared at the Spirit Embryo calmly, "At this point, she''s going to be a Divine Beast. No, she will surpass it!" As the possessor of countless bloodlines, Huo Yuhao could tell Snow Empress''s origin as the Heavenly Snow Woman wasn''t so simple. Divine can''t describe her evolution. Eventually, the hourss-shaped device couldn''t handle Snow Empress''s Spirit Embryo and shattered into crumbling ice crystals. If Jing Hongchen saw this, he''d be crying blood. Snow Empress''s Spirit Embryo hovered in the air. Its white-green color slowly faded into pure white, oozing faint ice particles. These particles are like mortal dust that left a divine vessel. ''Such a development.'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but praise. But then, he noticed something weird. The Spirit Embryo bes bigger and bigger each second. The Snow Empress''s Spirit Embryo grew from palm-sized into a canoe in just a few minutes. Kacha~! A pleasant yet soft ss-breaking sound entered Huo Yuhao''s ears. Bing Di''s eyes widened at the sight before her, ''I-Is that Snow?'' Huo Yuhao swallowed his saliva, ''Beautiful.'' A naked goddess with unrivaled beauty hovered in the air. She has long, silky white hair scattering to her perky butts and some strands over her voluptuous chest. Her face is delicate, with a lovely button nose, pale pink lips, and white eyshes. However, there is one more thing that fascinated Huo Yuhao. As the goddess opened her eyes, Huo Yuhao saw aplex pair of ice-blue eyes that weren''t inferior to his. And trust Huo Yuhao. There are not many eyes that could rival his. Huo Yuhao instinctively activated his Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Daos. The moment their eyes met, the time was ''instantly'' frozen. They had every time in the world, which allowed them to appreciate each other. "It is my defeat." The snow goddess uttered while lowering her head. She stepped her fair feet on the snow-covered ground and kneeled her naked body down. "Master, may I know your name?" Huo Yuhao was in trance, "Yuhao. Huo Yuhao." "From now on, I swear my allegiance toward you." The snow goddess smiled beautifully like a blooming flower in the lone snond. [Ding! You have upgraded Heavenly Snow Woman into the ''Primordial Snow Woman''!] [Ding! The ''Snow Empress'' has initiated a soul contract with you] [Do you want to ept?] [By epting the soul contract, Snow Empress will be your eternal partner] Huo Yuhao looked down on the naked goddess, "Yes, I agree." [Ding! The Throne of Beginning and End has absorbed a new Divine Ring: Primordial Snow Woman] "Snow Empress, do you want a new name?" "dly, my dear lord." The Snow Empress sounded excited for a moment. "Then, from now on..." "Your true name will be Anastasia." [Ding! You have granted Snow Empress a True Name, ''Anastasia''] [Ding! Anastasia''s affection has risen rapidly] "Rise." Huo Yuhao extended his hand to Anastasia, and the snow goddess caught his lead. "Do you like your new name, Anastasia?" "I love it, my dear lord," Anastasia responded earnestly with a light nod. And with that, Huo Yuhao made a contract with a powerful and beautiful spirit. An entity that shouldn''t exist in this era. Chapter 287: Primordial Snow Woman Chapter 287: Primordial Snow Woman --- Chapter 284 --- "Wait, wait, so let me get this straight." Bing Di rubbed her forehead in pain. "Snow, you''re submitting to Huo Yuhao because you felt he was your superior in every way." Snow Empress, or what we should call Anastasia from now on, nodded her head. She was adorned in a white-blue royal dress, wearing a crystal tiara atop her snowy white hair, snow-colored thigh highs, and crystal high heels. Well, she can''t stay naked forever. "Ice, submitting to my lord is akin to second instinct." Snow Emperor pursed her lovely lips. "When we stared at each other''s eyes, I felt he was much more beautiful and noble than I am. Not to mention, my lord also helped me evolve into a Primordial Snow Woman.""You can think of this as me repaying him." She smiled warmly at her dear friend. "Yuhao, what have you done to my Snow?!" Bing Di couldn''t help butin at the blue-haired incubus nearby. "It''s our Snow now!" Huo Yuhao teased her. Bing Di cursed, "Damn you! Now I know how Tian Meng felt when arguing with you..." Huo Yuhao shook his head because what Anastasia said earlier was the truth. He hadn''t done anything that changed her mind. Heck! He didn''t even use his God of Lust Power. However, Huo Yuhao doesn''t know whether it was purely thankfulness or submission. To him, Snow Emperor is not your average Great Beast anymore because her origin has exceeded that of a Dragon God. Yes, he wasn''t even joking. [Name: Anastasia(True), Xue Nu(Former)] [Race: Primordial Spirit/Primordial Snow Woman(Hybrid)] [Cultivation Age: 1,700,000 years] [Martial Soul: Primordial Snow Woman(cannot be cultivated), Icy Snow Star] [Cultivation: Level 20(Supreme Awakening)] [Battle Prowess: 3rd to 2nd ss Beast God] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: The Snow Goddess, Sword Goddess, Lady of the Snowy Castle, The First Snowball that Changes Tides, Starry Ice Lotus, Dragon Nest''s Divine Commander, Huo Yuhao''s Wife] [Description: Anastasia was a Heavenly Snow Woman, a spirit of snow and endless winter. However, she obtained a second chance to ascend and awakened theSnowball ForceandIcy Snow Star, bing the first-everPrimordial Snow Woman!] Huo Yuhao thought Huang Qiu''er was already a surprise, but Anastasia was blowing out the field or freezing it with her snow. Her status panel is nothing but grand. Many interesting Huo Yuhao could pick, for example, from her new race that is Primordial Snow Woman is a Primordial Spirit that started from a hybrid between a Spirit Beast and a Human. This advantage allows Anastasia to cultivate like a Human and Spirit Beast simultaneously. Unfortunately, she couldn''t cultivate her Primordial Snow Woman''s Martial Soul. The Icy Snow Star is a fascinating Martial Soul. It''s like Zhang Lexuan''s moon, but more on a tangible field. After all, the Icy Snow Star is a literal Primordial Star floating somewhere in the vast Omniversal Order. Huo Yuhao doesn''t know where it was, but Anastasia should know. Oh, yeah. Anastasia''s Cultivation Age also increased by 1 million years, talking about being insane. She also awakened into Level 20, which only happened to people with Godly Martial Soul. As for her Rmended Paths, he wasn''t so surprised, especially thest one. Just thinking about it makes Huo Yuhao feel a headache. "Are you worried about something, my lord?" Anastasia smiled at her master. Huo Yuhao waved his hand casually and asked, "You should know the best about your current condition, right? What''s your choice, focusing on one path orpletely walking on the two worlds simultaneously?" Anastasia stared at Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes and replied, "I was thinking of sealing my Spirit Beast''s Origin. If possible, I want my Spirit Beast''s Origin to be one of your Spirit Rings, my lord." "By then, I canpletely focus on the Human''s Path to bing the Spirit Master." "Are you sure? Doing such a foolish thing would reduce your strength to a mere Spirit Trainee." Huo Yuhao tested Anastasia''s resolve. "You''re going to be a mere human in strength." Fortunately for Huo Yuhao, Anastasia is a woman of confidence. "Yes!" Anastasia gave Huo Yuhao a determined look. "My lord, you might have realized, but I got trapped in the Spirit Embryo''s state because I nearly failed to break through. I barely have my life together and lost my chance to transform into a human." "Do you know why I wanted to be a human, even though they have oppressed us Spirit Beast for years? It is because of the restriction ced on us, Spirit Beast." "No matter how much I break through as Spirit Beast, I cannot ascend into the Divine Realm. I barely survived 700,000 years of lightning tribtion. And I can''t imagine surviving 800,000 years." "The only way is to transform into a human, cultivating Spirit Master''s path, and then pursue Human God''s Legacy." "This..." Bing Di, who had been quiet the entire time, finally opened her little mouth. "Snow, you actually don''t have to follow Human God''s Legacy." "Come again?" Anastasia was confused by Bing Di''s words. Huo Yuhao added, "As Bing Di said, you don''t have to follow Human God''s Legacy. They are trash anyway." "Let me introduce you to the Dragon Nest, the Organization I founded and developed when I was young. Here, we have devised our way to be a God without being restricted by Douluo Divine Realm''s limitation." Anastasia was gobsmacked and had her mouth widened like Koi Fish, "Is it really possible to be a God without getting restricted by the Douluo Divine Realm?" "Yup." Huo Yuhao nodded in confirmation. "It''s simr to Spirit Master''s Path, but much more arduous and focused on building your Divine Foundation." "Starting from Divine Circuits, our Breathing technique, Self-Tailored Divine Weapons, and many others." "Where do you think I got my God''s Seat?" After saying that, Huo Yuhao revealed the God of Fortune''s presence a bit. Anastasia''s eyes widened because she felt a divine presence from Huo Yuhao''s body, which meant he was a God! She thought her lord had already a heaven-defying master at such a young age. Who would have thought he was more extraordinary than she initially thought? "I''m willing to experience hardship." Anastasia''s eyes glimmered with hope. Huo Yuhaoughed, "You actually didn''t have to ask. When you submit to me, my Divine Throne of Beginning and End already absorbed your Divine Spirit Ring." "Looks, your Spirit Ring is among my Spirit Ring Configurations." A massive throne appeared behind Huo Yuhao. Although it looks and feels illusory, Anastasia felt a threatening force from it. ''I felt like kneeling just from looking at it.'' Snow Empress nervously swallowed her saliva. Not long after, a series of spirit rings appeared. The first one is Ashen Silver with gold-colored ancient runes all over it. The second spirit ring is Icy Jade with golden phoenix marks. The third spirit ring is Rosy Pink, shining with twin dragons'' marks. The fourth spirit ring is Ink ck with no special features. However, if one looks closer, one can see the image of a woman. Atst, the fifth spirit ring is Snowy Azure, like Anastasia, and emits this faint coldness. Anastasia sucked a cold breath upon witnessing Huo Yuhao''s abnormal Spirit Ring''s Configurations. She has heard a legend of Spirit Master with over two Crimson Spirit Rings, but those are nothingpared to Huo Yuhao''s. This Handsome and Mysterious Human has Five Divine-level Rings, including Snow Empress! Wait until Anastasia knows Huo Yuhao still has more with Chains of Heavens and Chaotic Dragon Emperor. ''I might have broken her mind.'' Huo Yuhao looked at the frozen Anastasia before him. The Primordial Snow Woman stood still, provoking some new sensation inside him, especially when Huo Yuhao looked at those luscious red lips. Bing Di noticed Huo Yuhao''s gaze and smirked, "My Snow is beautiful, right? Don''t worry, Yuhao. You have my blessing." She even gave him a thumbs-up. You were mad earlier, and now you hand over your friend? The corner of Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched slightly at Little Phoenix''s antics. It seems Bing Di was very serious when permitting him to take Snow Empress into the harem. After a while, Anastasia returned and regained herposure. Huo Yuhao exined about Dragon Nest''s Cultivation Method, and she agreed immediately. The Primordial Snow Woman was eager to be a Deity or Goddess, surpassing her past self. Unknown to Anastasia, she has reached the Realm of Gods. But Huo Yuhao won''t tell her. That''s for her to unveil. "Let''s go, Ana. I will introduce you to some people." Huo Yuhao extended his hand to her. "Mm, my lord." Anastasia epted his hand and beamed happily. She couldn''t wait to see just how impressive Dragon Nest was. Chapter 288: Introducing New Girl to Mother Fox, and the New Divine-grade Class Chapter 288: Introducing New Girl to Mother Fox, and the New Divine-grade ss --- Chapter 285 --- Huo Yuhao and Anastasia are walking on Java Ind''s busy street, but people are weirdly ignoring them as if they didn''t exist in the first ce. "Well, you''re going to follow us all day... Aren''t you?" Huo Yuhao nced back and saw Bing Di in her conspicuous cover, a plushie hoodie. Bing Di was shocked, "H-How did you know it was me?" Huo Yuhao stared at her ko-themed hoodie and shook his head as Bing Di probably duplicated it from one of the stores nearby. Anatasia covered her mouth and giggled at her friend''s antics. "If you want to snoop around, use your Faux Body, Bing Di. Your presence as a spirit alone is enough to make the ind feel cold." "Eh?" Bing Di nced at the pedestrians.Pedestrian A shivered, "Is it me, or did the air suddenly feel colder than before?" "Y-Yeah. My hands are freezing," Pedestrian B replied. Even though he wore a thick winter coat, he rubbed his hands together like no tomorrow to generate heat. "Everything was just fine a minute ago." The sameints happened all over the ind, and Huo Yuhao sighed at his carelessness. Title Douluos are fine because they are strong enough to handle such a low temperature, but weaker ones are swimming in pure coldness now. Huo Yuhao looked at the embarrassed Ice Phoenix and said, "Control your coldness, Bing Di." "O-Okay." Bing Di hurriedly closed her yellowish-gold eyes and absorbed the excessive coldness from the atmosphere. After everything returned to normal again, she heaved a sigh of relief. Who would have thought there would be a time when Bing Di needed to control her presence because she had be too strong? Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and snapped his finger, summoning Bing Di''s Faux Body. Or else known as Gigai. Bing Di entered the Faux Body and blinked a few times to adjust her fine control over it. "Good, now cast that ignoring spell on me." A dim, abyssal light covered Bing Di''s body, and her presence erased instantly from the street. No one could tell her presence besides Huo Yuhao and Anastasia. Yes, Huo Yuhao used the Abyssal Reaper''s power to make these people ignore him and the girls. It is just so convenient. "This... What happened to her real body?" Anastasia couldn''t help but ask Huo Yuhao. "I will answer that." Bing Di hopped a few times to reach them. "When I be Yuhao''s contracted spirit, I cast aside my physical body and transform it into pure essence for him." "In fact, that pure essence has be his external Spirit Bone, which he rarely uses." "My bad, okay." Huo Yuhao responded to her stray attack. "Lastly, I prefer moving around in this form." She stuck her tongue out at Huo Yuhao and then proudly raised her C-Cup breast. However,pared to Anastasia, they are much smaller. "I see..." Anastasia felt like she could understand Bing Di. Unlike Bing Di, the Snow Empress is ''literally'' shaped like a beautiful adult woman as a Spirit Beast due to her unique origin, and she also prefers it that way. The three continued walking to the Athena Gallery and saw Huo Yun''er with Liu Mei. They are discussing something. Huo Yuhao walked in, and they nced in his direction immediately. What, you have radar senses on me or something? Huo Yuhao could only smile at their turning heads. "Y-Young Master." Liu Mei couldn''t hide her bashfulness. After the opening party, she couldn''t sleep straight and always dreamed of a moment with Huo Yuhao. "Hao''er, who is that snowy girl?" Meanwhile, Huo Yun''er just smiled and gazed ahead, staring at Anastasia with great interest. She already knew about Bing Di, so she didn''t pay much attention to her. Of course, this also led Bing Di to pout at Huo Yun''er. She was so close to swaying her little fists toin. How dare you ignore this noble Ice Emperor?! Rawr~! Anastasia felt the probing gazes of Huo Yun''er and stepped forward, "Hello, Mistress." "My name is Anastasia, and I''m My Lord''s loyal subject." "Oh, loyal subject?" Huo Yun''er gave Huo Yuhao a knowing look. Huo Yuhao innocently coughed and pushed Anastasia to talk with his mother. He focused on other things instead, like mastering the other Divine-grade ss. Liu Mei coyly went to his side and asked, "Young Master, I have nned for the next stage of the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament. Do you want to see the progress or make modifications to it?" "Hmm, let me see..." Huo Yuhao received a pad from Liu Mei. Bing Di, who sat beside him, curiously looked over andmented, "Wow, you can do a tournament like this? It basically forced weaker contestants to fight stronger opponents, one after another." "The rest time is also short." "Woman, you''re devious." "Devious..." Liu Mei was speechless at Bing Di''sment. Like Huo Yun''er, Liu Mei also knew that Huo Yuhao had some contracted spirits, and Bing Di was one of them. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Theyout is perfect enough, but can you do it in three days? That''s 256 teams until the quarter-semi final." Liu Mei confidently patted her chest and answered, "Leave it to me. I can make it happen in three days." "Though, I need to ask for permission from the Health Division first." "Alright then, we can proceed with this n." Huo Yuhao nodded and returned the pad to Liu Mei. Liu Mei happily picked up the pad and told Huo Yuhao would be away for a few hours. After that, she disappeared from the Athena Gallery. Bing Di crossed her arms and suddenly questioned, "Yuhao, now that you have basically be the strongest in this world, what''s your next n?" "Are we going to visit another world?" "Scathach''s world sounds interesting." "Also, Robin''s world wasn''t bad." "What do you think?" Huo Yuhao leaned on the sofa. "I was thinking of visiting Robin''s world first." Bing Di''s eyes lit up, "Pirate World it is." "Haha." Huo Yuhao doesn''t know since when Bing Di is obsessed with visiting another world, but this side of her is adorable. "Hao''er." Huo Yun''er called him. "Yes?" Huo Yuhao nced at her. Huo Yun''er smirked and said, "Take care of Anastasia well, she''s a good girl." "I will... What''s with the tone, though." Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. He could see Anastasia blushing hard behind Huo Yun''er. "You''re not done with the Shrek Academy''s girls, and a new just popped out of nowhere." Huo Yun''er shrugged at him. "I''m liking them so far, especially that Lexuan girl and Ana. She''s good girl." Oh, no. Huo Yun''er is just like Yae. It seems Mother Fox has corrupted another innocent soul. Huo Yun''er giggled after seeing Huo Yuhao''s reaction and checked her smartwatch, "Well, it''s a littlete. What do guys think ofte-night snacks?" "Snacks?" Bing Di giddily rose from her seat. After that, Huo Yun''er dragged them to a secluded bar and ordered the most expensive food. She had Anastasia and Bing Di fattened up for Huo Yuhao to eat. Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t go after Anastasia. They just met and formed a connection. He didn''t say no to Huo Yun''er and Bing Di, though. ... The next morning. Huo Yuhao meditated in a quiet room and felt the increase of strength that Anastasia''s Divine Ring had given to him. Although not much, improvement is still an improvement. "Let''s check Titania and Anastasia''s Spirit Ring." [The Throne of Beginning and the End] ... [4th Spirit Ring - Primordial Ink Devil, Titania(Fairy Queen)] [Spirit Skill: The Darkest Spirit World, Oberon''s Wife Call, Titania''s Will, Universe Drowning Ink River, The Lowest Devil of All] ... [5th Spirit Ring - Primordial Snow Woman, Anastasia(Snow Empress)] [Spirit Skill: Snowball Force, Icy Snow Star, Three Supreme of Snow Empress, Ultimate Snow(Passive), Cosmos Freezing Breathe] ... Huo Yuhao read these Spirit Skills'' introductions and was overwhelmed because they are strong, especially Titania''s Spirit Skills because each could alter reality or dimension. Anastasiags behind several times, but that''s understandable as Titania is the Primordial Ink Devil that''s controlled theher part of Everlith Universe. Unfortunately, Titania couldn''t enter the Douluo Dalu Universe in the meantime. Not until Huo Yuhao conquered it. Huo Yuhao closed the status panel and opened a new one. [Which new Divine-grade ss would you like to master next?] [Netherworld Avenger] [Pagma''s Incarnation] [Techno Archon] Huo Yuhao considered the pros and cons before settling on the new Divine-grade ss. He was fed up with the Abyssal Reaper, ss so a simr functioning Divine-grade ss is a no-no for him. His finger hovered over the particr choice and clicked on it. [Ding! Do you want to choose this Divine-grade ss?] "Yes." [Congrattions, you have be...] Chapter 289: Its Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon Class (1) Chapter 289: It''s Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon ss (1) --- Chapter 286 --- [Congrattions, You have be theTechno Archon!] [ss: Techno Archon] [Type: Techno Master(Mystic Engineer)] [Grade: Divine] [Description: Techno Archon is a ruler of an era where only the brightest mind could survive and be the strongest. One could create good and evil with enough intelligent and wise minds, but what''s the limit of one''s morality? Humanity''s highest feat was to create their own God!] ["In an era where there is no difference between genius and madman, are you sure you''re the most correct? The answer is no! Only the strongest man amongst men is the most correct!"]After returning to his hotel, Huo Yuhaoy on the bed and stared at the Techno Archon''s introduction with a weird expression. He has used Techno Master ss several times to build many satellites and Artificial Intelligence based on his altered mind, but this Techno Archon is confusing. Huo Yuhao understood Techno Archon''s concept, but something held him back. Yes, there is a bad lingering feeling at the back of his head for some reason. In fact, the Techno Archon ss is somewhat easy to master. There is one goal only, and that is to create a Divine Construct. Or else known as the Artificial God! Huo Yuhao nced at the Techno Archon''s skillset, "There are only five skills..." "Dimension of Knowledge(Passive)." "Gate of Truth(Passive)." "Mystic Codes." "Construct and Deconstruct." "And Limit Break(Sealed)?" "What the hell? This skill is unusable." Huo Yuhao was speechless. Limit Break only has a name and no introduction. In the end, Huo Yuhao still made some inventions as he slowly drifted into a nap because he was bored. As Huo Yuhao entered his brief slumber, a giant ck door manifested above his head. It was over fifteen meters tall, six meters wide, and looked like a pure ck steel block with countless runes. The runes looked like random writings, but they actually were mystic codes that built and setws of the universe. On top of that, if one looks close enough, the mystic codes formed a pair of golden eyes that peeked into the higher dimension. Unfortunately, none of Huo Yuhao''s spirits could see this giant ck door and its mystery. Not even Eluxia and wisp of Titania''s spirit. Thirty minutester, Huo Yuhao awakened from his nap and shook his head weirdly. "That''s weird... Did I not have enough sleep?" Huo Yuhao shouldn''t need sleep, to be honest. As a God, he doesn''t need to eat or rest. He only does them because they are fulfilling his satisfaction. On the corner of his eyes, Huo Yuhao saw a system notification. [Dimension of Knowledge has raised to Level 2] [Gate of Truth has increased to Level 2] Huo Yuhao furrowed his brow, "I see..." "No wonder I felt something was weird. The Techno Archon''s skills are growing by dreaming. They used Dream Space to improve and learn new knowledge." "But this behavior is just like a parasite." "Evo, how long have I slept?" [Exactly thirty minutes, Host] "Thirty minutes... I assume that''s the minimum duration Techno Archon ss needed to charge itself?" Huo Yuhao asked his system. [Yes. Techno Archon is a bizarre Divine-grade ss from your standpoint because it is ''literally'' poprized by a madman who abandoned his humanity to be an Artificial God] [Even though the first Techno Archon abandoned nearly everything, he didn''t sacrifice three things in his life] "Three things?" [Dream, Willpower, and Sex] "What''s that guy doing? Is he creating his own waifu or something?" [Funny you say that, Host. The 1st Techno Archon did create his own android wives] "..." Huo Yuhao. I was joking, okay. What is this guy? A weeb? But Huo Yuhao could onlyugh, "Well, who am I to judge someone? I also have done some questionable things in this life." After probing for more information, Huo Yuhao grasped the essence of Techno Archon and asked for developing quests. Evo did the magic, and a new task rted to Techno Archon ss popped out. [Ding! The system has issued a quest] [Name: Cyber Constructs] [Objective: Create as many Cyber, Machine, and Artificial Constructs as possible and create Divine Constructs] [Time Limit: None] [Penalty: None] [Reward: 1x Basic Omniversal Treasure Box (the contents depend on the Quality and Quantity of Objectives reached)] "Good god, you''re spoiling me with this quest." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butment. [if it motivates you, then it''s good, Host] Evo responded tly. [Now get going and create some Constructs] Huo Yuhao smiled and essed his Dimension of Knowledge. After surfing inside it for a second, Huo Yuhao decided what kind of Construct he wanted to make. ... Knock! Knock! Knock! "Yuhao, do you want to watch the tournament with us?" A familiar voice appeared from outside his room. It was Qianye Ying''er. Huo Yuhao was busy making Cyber Construct and replied, "No. I''m busy right now!" "You can go first, and I''ll be there in a few hours..." Outside, Qianye Ying''er shrugged at hearing Huo Yuhao''s response. She nced at thedies and girls, who followed him, and said, "You heard him." They are disappointed but can''t do anything about it because Huo Yuhao is busy. They couldn''t possibly drag him out just for their satisfaction. They areing for Huo Yuhao and not the tournament. However, it would be a waste for them not to watch some fights. Looking at their sighing look, Qianye Ying''er chuckled andmented, "It is not like Yuhao won''t see you. He''s just busy right now." "Don''t worry. Yuhao is not the type of man who likes to disappoint his women. Well, I''m sure you know about this already." When Qianye Ying''er said they were Huo Yuhao''s women, they couldn''t help but grin and nod in agreement. After that, Qianye Ying''er escorted them to the Tournament''s Arena, which was in the underground facility. Due to a Sea God''s Divine Will snooping around Java Ind, Liu Mei had to take some measures and use an underground facility instead. Although Sea God won''t be a problem for Dragon Nest, it''s better to be cautious and not invite unnecessary annoyance. They could also monitor and adjust the arena in the underground facility because everything is fully controlled with Spirit Engineering Technology here. On the other hand, Huo Yuhao was pletely'' immersed in his new Divine-grade ss. He''s like a child who has gotten a new toy to y with. [Ding! You have created a new Techno Construct] [Please name it...] [Ding! You have created a new Techno Construct] [Please name it...] [Ding! You have created a new Techno Construct] [Please name it...] [Ding! You have created a new Techno Construct] [Please name it...] [...] Huo Yuhao ignored these notifications and looked at the piles of robotic mess in his hotel room. "Well, let''s check them out." He stored his new inventions in inventory and teleported himself to the Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon. Huo Yuhao didn''t use his Main Body this time because he wasmitted toprehending Heavenly Daos. As a clone, he was much free in choice and development. Heck! Huo Yuhao even used the Extraterrestrial Race''s racial ability to help him develop Techno Constructs. In fact, They are a match made in heaven for the Techno Archon ss. Huo Yuhao entered Advalon without a problem and went to the most dangerous part of the dungeon, where only 100,000 years old Spirit Beasts and above roam here. He searched for a suitable punching bag and finally found a 300,000-year-old Mystic ck Tortoise. "Sorry, little guy. I gotta test my new ss." Huo Yuhao had a sorry expression while gazing at the massive tortoise before him. Huo Yuhao looked around to make sure no one was watching. Then, He coughed a few times while summoning his new creations from inventory and shouted shamelessly, "It''s time for D-D-Duel-! I mean, to Master Techno Master ss." "Cyber Tuners, Standby Mode!" Several dark blue neon orbs flew and formed a wall before Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded and continued, "Attack Mode, sma Pulse!" The dark blue neon orbs expanded, exposing unknown characters that lit up and absorbed the surrounding energy. A flickering lighting formation formed by these orbs released a sma Ray that attacked the Mystic ck Tortoise. BOOOM! ROOAARR! The Mystic ck Tortoise roared angrily. Even though the sma Pulse didn''t injure it, the paralyzing sensation is still annoying. The Spirit Beast opened its mouth impulsively and shot a water beam at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smirked, "Cyber Tuners, Defensive Mode." The dark blue neon orbs spread and created an energy barrier, redirecting the water beam away. Of course, they couldn''t bear the attack and exploded after a few seconds. But this is more than enough to show Techno Archon''s prowess. "..." Mystic ck Tortoise was speechless. It couldn''t talk because Spirit Beasts in Advalon are just essential copies that the Self-Evolving Dungeon created to be farmed and absorbed by Dragon Nest''s members. However, the Spirit Beasts could show some emotion, especially those 100,000 years and above. Huo Yuhao looked at the Spirit Beast and chuckled, "Do you think this is over?" "Let me show you something more interesting." "I Summon, 100x Cyber Tuners. And then, sacrifice them to Special Summon two Cyber Dragons!" A wave of neon lights merged and turned into serpentine dragons with white metal bodies and yellow eyes. "Lastly, I fuse two Cyber Dragons into Cyber Twin Dragon!" ''NANI?!'' The Mystic ck Tortoise watched the white serpentine dragons merge into one, bing a two-headed dragon with intense purple electricity. Huo Yuhao proudly crossed his arms. Yes, this was a childhood dreame true! "Battle! Cyber Twin Dragon, attack Mystic ck Tortoise!" "Evolution Twin Burst!" The two-headed dragon opened their mouths,unching a lightning st at the Mystic ck Tortoise. BOOOOM! ROAR! Another angry roar escaped the Mystic ck Tortoise''s mouth. After all, the Cyber Twin Dragon''s attacks are much stronger than the Cyber Tuners'' attacks. It did no damage to the Spirit Beast but effectively annoyed it. ''It''s my turn to attack!'' The Spirit Beast furiously red at the grinning Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao raised his right hand and clenched it, "Just you know, Cyber Twin Dragon can attack twice. Go, Cyber Twin Dragon, attack Mystic ck Tortoise again!" "..." Mystic ck Tortoise. Another lightning st flew over. (AN: No Turtleis harmedinthemakingofCyber Series!) Chapter 290: Its Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon Class (2) Chapter 290: It''s Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon ss (2) --- Chapter 287 --- ROAR!! An angry roar echoed in the Advalon. Huo Yuhao has been annoying the Mystic ck Tortoise for a few minutes now, using his new Techno Archon ss for great use. Yes, he''s reviving Machine Archetype from Yu-Gi-Oh! In the past, Huo Yuhao used to binge The Yu-Gi-Oh Series while resting from his assassination mission, and one of his favorite decks was the Cyber Dragon Deck. He also imagined his version of the deck, but imagination is imagination at the end of the day. He couldn''t possibly bring it to reality. However, Huo Yuhao could realize those dreams now.Huo Yuhao eyed the Cyber Twin Dragon with gleaming eyes and nced at the Mystic ck Tortoise. This spirit beast is 300,000 years old and has a formidable defense. Cyber Tuners are nothing but a foundation that Huo Yuhao built. It has no real power besides being used as batteries and Cyber Materials, which he could also fuse into more powerful machines. In terms of strength, Cyber Tuners are one star or equal to Level 10 Spirit Trainee in Spirit Master''s Cultivation Rank. The gist of the Cyber Race is to reach ten stars or more, which is equal to 3rd ss God or higher. Well, Huo Yuhao''s method is pretty straightforward. He would scan and reproduce everything he had seen with Extraterrestrial Race''s Mimicry and turn them into Cyber Race. Since the Extraterrestrial Race''s Mimicry is effectively 80%, Huo Yuhao could improve the subject with Techno Archon''s Gate of Truth. It was somewhat effortless, but Evo advised him not to rely too much on the addicting skill, or he would lose himself. Anyway, Cyber Dragon itself is two stars of Cyber Race. And Cyber Twin Dragon has three stars. As much as Huo Yuhao wanted to create a Divine Construct or Artificial God immediately, he couldn''t rush and had to improve step by step. The Mystic ck Tortoise roared angrily and gathered water energy in its mouth, charging another water beam. It was much more potent than the previous water beam that Cyber Tuners could reflect. Huo Yuhao knew Cyber Twin Dragon couldn''t take this attack. Weirdly, he didn''t make any order for the metal dragon to dodge. Swoosh! BOOOOOOM! Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and watched a water storm wipe out his Cyber Twin Dragon. Metal pieces and electricity scattered on the field. "The energy reading is stable and absorbable through enough fission panel." He smiled because he gained some amusing data from the destruction. The Mystic ck Tortoise charged at Huo Yuhao. It rushed forward by rolling its body sideways, producing a violent tornado in the forest. Huo Yuhao gently kicked the ground and summoned another wave of Cyber Tuners. He formed a tform with them, standing on it while watching the spirit beast destroying the forest. Huo Yuhao''s eyes gained these micro-cracks as he analyzed, "Ten Stars Cyber is impossible for now, but Nine Stars is manageable." "Come, Cyber Tuners." "Create an energy field around the forest." Millions of Cyber Tuners flew out, causing a massive shadow to loom over the forest. They bound to each other through CyberSpace and started to release an electromaic field. A buzzing noise echoed constantly, and a translucent blue barrier was ''sessfully'' erected around the forest. Huo Yuhao pulled RM-Cube and challenged the energy into the CyberSpace, allowing the barrier to stay for even years. BANG! Crack! The Mystic ck Tortoise hit the translucent blue barrier and bounced back heavily, thrashing the ground.A crack was created by a now stunned spirit beast. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "The barrier is sturdy..." "But it shakes slightly." "I want it to have a reflective property." He grazed his finger against the air and used Techno Archon''s Construct. A holographic screen greeted Huo Yuhao with several panels rted to histest creation. He clicked some panels and summoned more Cyber Tuners before merging them into a new Cyber Race. "Construct!" Huo Yuhao felt a part of his brain reactivated. "Come, Cyber Pir Dragons!" ROAR! A mechanical roar echoed in the area, and four new variants of Cyber Dragon appeared. Unlike the white Cyber Dragon, these Cyber Dragon Dragons have a lizard-like appearance and angr-shaped head. They hugged the barrier''s corners and enhanced it with a few more effects, preventing the Mystic ck Tortoise from escaping. Huo Yuhao brushed his fingers again and created another Cyber Race with several Cyber Tuners as Cyber Materials. A starry blue portal appeared, and a silver dragon head poked out. "Come, 4 Stars Cyber Race, Cyber Stardust Dragon!" Silver particles descended on the Advalon. Anky dragon with a humanoid-shaped mechanical body arrived in the world for the first time. It has a white-scaled head that matches with short jaws, arge crest, and a long segmented neck. The crest and neck both have blue ribbed sections like jet exhaust. Each limb possessed ionized sma ws. Wearing purple-blue shoulder armor, the dragon has a white-skinned tail patterned like its neck. Its tail''s tip has four small, ax-like silver des arranged in a cross. Lastly, metallic wing fingers are attached to its back with a flurry of energy that looks like wing extension and releases energy particles. ROAR!! Cyber Stardust Dragon hovered above the Mystic ck Tortoise and waited for Huo Yuhao''smand. Huo Yuhao looked at the Cyber Stardust Dragon and smirked, "This is just the beginning." "Cyber Stardust Dragon''s ability activated!" "Cyber Stardust Dragon used the power of stars and revived the fallen Cyber Races into Cyber Materials." ROAR! The Cyber Stardust Dragon roared a call. Energy particles swept the forest. The destroyed pieces of Cyber Tuners and the Cyber Twin Dragonse to life again and float around the Cyber Stardust Dragon like orbital debris. ''What the hell??'' The Mystic ck Tortoise couldn''t believe its eyes. At first, it was just a two-headed metal dragon, and now thisnky metal dragon. What is wrong with this world? "Cyber Stardust Dragon, Orbital Cannons!" Cyber Stardust Dragon morphed the Cyber Materials into several floating silver cannons. The cannon pulsated and released this heart-wrenching hum that made the Mystic ck Tortoise nervous. "Attack!" ROAR! Cyber Stardust Dragon opened its mouth, and the orbital silver cannons released a corresponding energy charge. After that, a powerful purple beam escaped and hit the Mystic ck Tortoise. The Mystic ck Tortoise felt the outeryer of its shell get destroyed and roared painfully. This metal beast is actually capable of breaking its defense. Even though the outeryer is nothing, the Mystic ck Tortoise had a horrible hunch about what will happen soon. BOOOOOM!! Huo Yuhao watched the explosion from above and mumbled, "Not enough firepower." "Cyber Stardust-!" Before Huo Yuhao could even order his creation, the Mystic ck Tortoise suddenly pounced on the Cyber Stardust Dragon and dragged it to the ground with its maw. BAM! Crunch! BOOM! The Cyber Stardust Dragon was ''immediately'' destroyed by the Mystic ck Tortoise''s strong jaws. Well, that''s a 300,000-year-old spirit beast for you. "The metal frame is too fragile." Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly. "Well, I focused more on firepower than anything on Cyber Stardust Dragon." "The energy core is alsocking because I used electricity instead of spirit energy." "Overall, it needs more adjustment." Amidst Huo Yuhao''s deep thought, the Mystic ck Tortoiseunched three high-powered water beams at him. Huo Yuhao was calm. He swiped his finger on the screen and summoned another Cyber Race, "Come, Five Stars, Cyber Shield Dragon!" BANG! A massive metallic blue sphere appeared and protected Huo Yuhao from the iing water beams. It''s also part of the Cyber Dragon Series with a body akin to an armadillo and dragon. Cyber Shield Dragon doesn''t have attack prowess, but its defensive ability is strong. On top of that, the imperfect sphere shapes and some hidden panels disperse kic energy. Soon, the water beams lost their energy. Cyber Shield Dragon unfurled itself and revealed its armadillo-dragon form. Every part of its inner body looks like a sr panel, reflecting the sunlight. Huo Yuhao looked down at the Mystic ck Tortoise, "Let''s get serious then." His finger danced on the holographic panels as he designed many Cyber Race on a whim. Huo Yuhao''s mind works wonderfully and exceeds his past performance, calcting every possible material, form, and frame. "Cyber Space, Open!" A massive blue gate appeared behind Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao discerned cyberspace and ordered, "Come! My newest creations!" Swoosh! Three shadows burst out of the cyberspace''s portal. ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! "Five Stars, Cyber Jaeger Dragon!" "Six Stars, Cyber Firewall Dragon!" "Seven Stars, Cyber Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon!" Huo Yuhao''s eyes burned with excitement, "Grand Fusion Gate." A blinking purple gate appeared in the sky. "Descend with the mightiness of Cyberspace, and roll earth and heaven to your whim." Three Cyber Dragons soared and entered the blinking purple gate. "Nine Stars, Cyber Demi-God Shining Dragon!" CRACK! BOOM! The blinking purple gate shattered. A creature over fifty meters tall with a wingspan of over one hundred meters appeared, shrouding itself in an energy mist. It had a silverish-white head and blue-white armor body extending to the muscr limbs that hosted sharp ws. Three pairs of wings made of metal silver feathers arranged beautifully, and three cannon-like barrel tails spurted from its back, swaying with pulsating energy. Three pairs of neon eyes lit up, causing the mist to glitch in and out of existence. At the same time, a formidable blue aura enveloped the whole forest. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR!! Chapter 291: Its Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon Class (3) Chapter 291: It''s Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon ss (3) --- Chapter 288 --- Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and looked over the gigantic machine before him, smiling because this was the best Cyber Race he could make currently. Hecked high-quality materials and the necessary skills to make a better Cyber Race. That''s why he chose the Fusion Path rather than the Pure Machine Path or Modification Path. [Name: Cyber D Shining Dragon] [Type: Artificial Creature(Cyber Race)] [Grade: SSS] [Rank:¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î][Description: An Artificial Creature made by Techno Archon, which holds a fearsome power over Super Micro Dimension and Quantum Core. Cyber D. Shining Dragon is currently the Administrator of Cyberspace] [Cyber D. Shining Dragon is a super fusion of three strong Cyber Dragon Variants (Cyber Jaeger Dragon, Cyber Firewall Dragon, and Cyber Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon), allowing it to wield their powers] [Ability: Super Micro Dimension, Quantum Core, Jaeger Form, Firewall Form, Azure Jetstream Form] Unlike Cyber Stardust Dragon, any Cyber Dragon from 6 stars and above didn''t use pure electricity but strictly functioned through CyberSpace that holds Super Quantum Energy. Yes, this cyberspace is connected to Huo Yuhao and holds infinite energy from his higher dimensional energy, Divine Energy, or Immortal Qi. If he didn''t do this, Cyber Race wouldn''t be able to grow. ROAR! Cyber D. Shining Dragon roared at the Mystic ck Tortoise and released several light rings. These halos acted like star ranks for Cyber Race, and the Cyber D. Shining Dragon has nine. Each halo is neon blue with several pointers out of it. At the same time, Cyber D. Shining Dragon also wore this crown made of pure energy. "Attack!" Huo Yuhao didn''t utter uselessmands and went straight to the point. Cyber D. Shining Dragon descended like a falling meteor and charged at the Mystic ck Tortoise without further ado. A sonic boom echoed in the forest as the Cyber Dragon mmed at the spirit beast. SWOOSH! BAM! The Mystic ck Tortoise couldn''t react and got thrown several hundred meters away. It looks like a funny-shaped ck cannonball kicked into a mountain range. "Enhanced Khronium Body Frame, sturdiness SSS-grade." Huo Yuhao nodded at the disy of Cyber D. Shining Dragon''s brute force. ROAR! BOOM! A darkened water beam with a hint of metal energy shot out, charging at Cyber D. Shining Dragon like a raging bull. Swoosh! Cyber D. Shining Dragon tilted its body to the left and dodged casually. Huo Yuhao smirked andmented, "Artificial Bionic Muscles, Flesh, Nerves, and Joints. Coordination, SSS-grade." "Let''s test your speed." As the darkened water beam missed, Cyber D. Shining Dragon nced at the Mystic ck Tortoise with its three pairs of eyes. A faint flicker of light appeared in them. Suddenly, Cyber D. Shining Dragon glitched out of existence and emerged above the spirit beast. It looks like teleportation, but it is not. Cyber D. Shining Dragon opened its wide maw and released an intense fire-lightning breath. ROAR! BOOM! The Mystic ck Tortoise squirmed like a fish out of water on the ground and felt very ufortable. The shell''s outeryer has shaved slightly before, and now this fire breath can corrode it. It let a dissatisfied wail and created a water shield reinforced with metal energy. Water, metal, fire, and lightning are goodbinations, especially for thetter two. Zzt! Zzt! KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Highly concentrated electrocuted liquid burst everywhere, burning the ground, trees, and surrounding air. In fact, Huo Yuhao noticed that the barrier set up by Cyber Tuners and Cyber Pir Dragons swayed violently after the exchanges. Huo Yuhao frowned and mumbled indifferently, "That was more powerful than I thought." "Even RM-Cube couldn''t maintain that much destruction at once." "However, this also showcases that Cyber D. Shining Dragon is suitable to have D''s name. At least, the power has reached that height." "The only problem is dimensionality. Cyber D. Shining Dragon is still the 3rd Dimensional Creature, or maybe 3.5?" "To elevate that, I must learn more about Techno Archon''s power and how to construct Artificial Divinity." "Tsk, such a simple yetplicated task." Huo Yuhaos sighed because there were too many things to do with such limited time. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, creating Cyber D. Shining Dragon alone already put him above the elite Techno Archons. Heck! Some Techno Archons are more clueless about their own abilities than anything. After so many times, they relied on the Gate of Truth too much and sacrificed too many things. Compared to them, Huo Yuhao only had the Techno Archon ss for a day and made skyrocketing progress. BAM! ROAR! Cyber D. Shining Dragon separated from the Mystic ck Tortoise and let out a rueful roar. The Cyber Ruler pped its wings, indifferently gazing at its enemy. Yes, like a predator to a prey. On the other hand, Mystic ck Tortoise''s shell wasn''t looking good as the previous exchange exposed its inneryer. A rough growl filled with frustration escaped the spirit beast''s mouth. Huo Yuhao didn''t install Artificial intelligence in Cyber D. Shining Dragon, and its current action is naturally like this. Of course, the Cyber Ruler always listened to hismand. Cyber D. Shining Dragon might be the current ruler of the Cyber Race in Cyberspace, but Huo Yuhao is their god! Ring! Ring! Ring! "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao nced at his ringing smartwatch. It was a call from Qianye Ying''er. Huo Yuhao epted the call and asked, "H-!" However, before he could say hi, Qianye Ying''erined, "Where are you, Yuhao? You said you''d be here in a few hours, but we haven''t seen you since then." Huo Yuhao scratched his cheek awkwardly. He couldn''t tell her he was busy fulfilling his old dream in the Advalon by making a giant machine fight a gigantic monster. He didn''t expect time to flow this fast. He coughed, "Well, I''d be there in five minutes." "See you there!" After cutting the call off, Huo Yuhao moved his gaze back to Cyber D. Shining Dragon. He closed his eyes and grinned, "Cyber D. Shining Dragon. It''s time to show your enemy what despair is." ROAR! Cyber D. Shining Dragon roared at Huo Yuhao''s words. The Cyber Ruler charged at the Mystic ck Tortoise and bombarded the poor spirit beast with cannon sts one after another. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The continuous explosion made the forest look like a fireworks party more than anything. The Mystic ck Tortoise couldn''t dodge the volley of intense explosions and was exhausted to create another water sphere. There is only one method left. Berserk State! The Mystic ck Tortoise''s clear eyes be red and violent energy bursts from its shell, ejecting spikes left and right. It doesn''t even care about the Cyber D. Shining Dragon and attacks everything around it. Unfortunately for Mystic ck Tortoise, Cyber D. Shining Dragon''s energy or stamina is nearly endless. After two minutes, the spirit beast began to lose in the counterattack and got injured even more. "Cyber D. Shining Dragon, Proto Cyber Break!" Huo Yuhao shouted for thest time. He had enough fun for today. Cyber D. Shining Dragon nodded and spread its wings before soaring to the azure sky. Its halos flew and acted as elerating gates that set themselves on the path to the Mystic ck Tortoise. The massive metal dragon fell like a blue-white meteorite and became a blurry figure after entering through the first five gates. Soon, its giant body disappeared and became Cyber Essence. The Mystic ck Tortoise was exhausted. The human and his weird metal dragons have tormented it for hours, leaving the spirit beast with no room to rest or breathe. ''Wait, where is that scary metal dragon?'' The spirit beast realized that Cyber D. Shining Dragon had miraculously disappeared. Its eyes widened in disbelief for a split second because a gigantic ghost-like metal dragon nuked the ground. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! A white-blue energy pir rose to the sky and parted the cloud away, destroying everything within a mile''s radius. Fortunately, Advalon would fix it in no time. [Ding! You have killed Mystic ck Tortoise] [You have met the maximum resentment and obtained rich rewards] [1x 300,000 years old Spirit Ring(Mutated)] [1x 300,000 years old External Spirit Bone(Mutated)] [1x Sage Beast: Xuanwu''s Bloodline(Mutated)] [1x ck Warrior''s Armor Set] "Damn, I don''t know Advalon has such a function?" Huo Yuhao was amazed by these rich rewards. Even though he doesn''t need them, finding a secret like this is a big surprise for the Dragon Nest''s development. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "Should I torme-! I mean, test some other spirit beasts?" Remember, Techno Archon sometimes forgot the line between morality and their research. To use poor spirit beasts as punching bags. Well, maybe for another day. Huo Yuhao concluded his research and told Cyber D. Shining Dragon to get back into cyberspace again. The Cyber Ruler roared for thest time before entering the portal and brought other Cyber Races along. After that, Huo Yuhao returned to Java Ind. Chapter 292: Its Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon Class (4) Chapter 292: It''s Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon ss (4) --- Chapter 289 --- Huo Yuhao returned to Java Ind and rubbed his throat slightly. It was sore due to excessive shouts earlier. Well, can you me him for being too excited? He carefreely stepped into the underground facility and used his Divine Power to clean some debris from his clothes. He walked on the space-folding runes and arrived at the arena used for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament''s 2nd round. As Huo Yuhao walked into the arena, he saw countless matches done in one moment. He looked for Qianye Ying''er and the girls, sensing them in room no. 69. Huo Yuhao teleported there and surprised them, "Hello, there." Everyone was shocked, except for some girls. "Jeez, stop teleporting suddenly like that." Huang Yunained while munching on her bread. "Make your presence known first, Yuhao.""Yes, you''re giving us a fright," Yae nodded at the Auspicious Monarch''s words. "You mustpensate us with an emotional fee." "What the hell is emotional fee." Huo Yuhao crashed on the sofa and met with Ophis''s pouting look. "I thought you were busy." Ophis stubbornly chewed on spiritual sugarcane. Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "I was. There is something I need to do at the Advalon." "Hmm..." Ophis kept chewing. Kunou suddenly shook Huo Yuhao''s arm and asked, "Yuhao-nii, Kunou want to see what you did in the Advalon?" Huo Yuhao felt curious gazes behind his back and shrugged, "Sure." He snapped his finger and summoned one Cyber Tuner, which wed its way from the Cyberspace. The dark blue neon drone caught everyone''s attention, but they couldn''t feel anything special from this thing. ''Flying Isopod?'' Ophis tilted her head in confusion. Qianye Ying''er squinted her eyes, "What is this? It looks like one of those drones you created, but I felt something amiss about it." "Yeah, it feels alive..." Huang Qiu''er suddenlymented. "Yeah, alive!" Everyone finally realized the hunch in their heads. Huo Yuhao smirked, "Because it is alive. Cyber Tuner was a mimicry of a lifeform, after all." "Don''t look down on Cyber Tuner because it might look and feel weak, but it is the foundation of the Cyber Race I created. Unfortunately, I have no way to test them besides the dungeon." "No, maybe I can show you Cyber Race''s mightter." Huo Yuhao recalled someone who had been snooping around the Douluo recently. "For now... Let''s see what the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament had for us." Everyone gazed at the viewing screen and watched the new Shrek Seven Devils fighting a group of Spirit Kings. They are winning, but something is weird about this fight. ... Underground Arena, Bracket D. The Shrek Seven Devils are fighting a team called the Ferocious Sevens and have a difficult time. Even though they led this match, they had to bench Tang Ya because of the previous matches and lost their best crowd-control expert''s support. Bei Bei fiercely exchanged blows with the Ferocious Sevens'' captain and used his dragon arm to punch a lighting break. BAM! The Ferocious Seven''s captain is a young woman. She wore a green dress and veil, hiding her face from Bei Bei''s face. "Mm, you''re tasty." She said while licking her lips. "Unfortunately, the game is over." "Boys, let''s tenderize their meat!" Bei Bei frowned and sensed something amiss with the mist. He coughed and watched blood trickling onto his hand. "Poison?" He grimly said. "Hehe, everything is fair and square in the arena. As long as we don''t kill you guys." The green-dressed woman chuckled. The same things also happen to other Shrek Seven Devils. They suddenly coughed a mouthful of blood and felt weakened slightly. "Fuck!" Xiao Xiao cursed while adjusting her breathing with Universal Breathing Technique. Then, Xiao Xiao''s eyes widened shortly after when she saw a punching to her face and sending her flying several meters away. The remaining Shrek Seven Devils fell to the ground and clutched their chest. They looked pained like something burned them from the inside. The Ferocious Sevens grinned at this, "Finish them!" However, steam with sweet scents suddenlyes from the Shrek Seven Devils'' bodies. Tang Ya watched the arena from a separate dimension where an extra team member stayed and smiled amusingly, "Using poison on us is a big fucking mistake." "Huo Yuhao is a devil." "He didn''t just tear our bodies apart with his training, but also made them much stronger and resistant to external elements, such as poisons." "That coughing blood is just a knee-jerk reaction." Yes, just as the Ferocious Sevens were about to attack the Shrek Seven Devils and finish the job, they unexpectedly stood up with a bloodthirsty grin. "What?" The green-dressed woman was stunned. Bei Bei rose with a howling golden lightning. He has awakened Holy Saint Dragon''s bloodline in his body, transforming his Martial Soulpletely. It was a challenging and painful operation, but Bei Bei sessfully did it with the Extraterrestrial Race''s essence. Right now, Bei Bei is just like Mu En. The possessor of Holy Saint Dragon Martial Soul! ROAR! Bei Bei punched with roaring dragon power and mmed the green-dressed woman''s face. BAM! At the same time, the other Shrek Seven Devils also finished their opponents. "The Shrek Academy''s first team has won 4 matches in a row." Giana''s voice echoed in the arena. "Congrattions, you have entered the semi-quarter semifinals." The Shrek Seven Devils sighed in relief. These four matches are tiresome and consume too much stamina. Thankfully, the Dragon Nest provided healthcare assistance for everyone and could fix injuries before the next match. With this newly applied healthcare assistance, everyone could fight with everything they had and even put their lives on the line. Yes, this is something that the previous tournament didn''t have. Even though everyone didn''t know how Dragon Nest did it, they were more than happy to ept this new arrangement, which made the tournament morepetitive. "Gosh, my arm is killing me." Wang Dongined while rubbing her sore hand. "That''s because you didn''t warm up before." Xiao Xiaomented with a dark expression. "Yeah, I do not want to hear that from someone who got punched in the face." Wang Dong retorted. "Shut up. You''re getting smoldered to the ground earlier." As they bickered, the rest of the Shrek Seven Devilsughed. Xu Sanshi supported Jiang Nannan and said, "Now we have entered the quarter semifinals." "No, we entered semi-quarter semifinals." Jiang Nannan fixed his words. "We have entered the top thirty-two. Well, top thirty-six rankings." "That''s good enough for our current strength." Luo Xingmented with a sigh. And He Caitou walked along her, mounting heavy spirit guidance cannons on his shoulders. "But if possible, we should get into the top sixteen. So we have a chance of fighting Yuhao." He Caitou said solemnly. Everyone was silent when hearing He Caitou''s words, but there was this gleam of hunger in their eyes. Even though they knew that Shrek Seven Devils'' strength was many times inferior to Huo Yuhao, they still wished to battle the blue-haired monster. At least they tried their best! Unknown to them, Huo Yuhao had been listening to their conversation. "Ignorant fools..." Huang Qiu''er mumbled between her breaths. She was also annoyed by the girlish boy named Wang Dong for some reason. She can''t exin her annoyance. It is just natural. "Now, now, don''t say that, Qiu''er." Huang Yuna lectured her disciple with a smile. "Everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves." "Unless those people are ungrateful," Yae added casually. "Some people just don''t deserve a second chance." "Just beat them to a pulp." Ophis gave them a weird look. "They''d be quiet after that." "So violent... As expected of you, Ophis." Kunou gave her friend a thumbs up. "I know, I''m the best!" Ophis ced her hands on the hips and lifted her little nose high. Huo Yuhao facepalmed, ''No, you''re inting this dragon''s ego too much, Kunou! Her strength doesn''t followmon sense, and it would be a disaster if she grew ignorant.'' ''I don''t want to see her sting a because of it.'' Qianye Ying''er giggled on the side. "What an amusing bunch." BOOM! Suddenly, everyone stopped talking and instinctively looked up. They frown because someone is probing Java Ind''s defensive runes array again. This time, this person exploited the defensive runes array''s weakness with extreme methods. He directly attacked everything with higher dimensional power and risked the Douluo''s safety. "The disturbance of space and time. Another deity is about to descend on this mortal realm." Yae rubbed her chin. "Yuhao, do you know this guy?" "Well..." Huo Yuhao smiled a little. "Let''s just say he was the one who messed up with the fate that Qiu''er had." Yae''s eyes widened in shock, "Wait, that''s taboo. This deity actually dares to do such a thing." "What''s wrong with your upper realm?" Huo Yuhao shrugged, "He has the privilege but not the consent." Yae rolled her sleeve, "Hmph, I will beat him up." ''Now, I know where Ophis got that mindset.'' Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched slightly. Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "Let me do it." "This will be a good debut show for my Cyber Race." He nced at Huang Qiu''er, who trembled and clenched her hands tightly. "Do you want to follow me, Qiu''er? I won''t kill the guy because that would be your job, but you can watch him getting beaten for now." Huang Qiu''er breathed in and gazed at Huo Yuhao''s eyes firmly, "Bring me along, Master." "Okay." Huo Yuhao held the courageous girl''s hand and added yfully, "Have some popcorn and enjoy the entertainment,dies. We will be back in a moment." Huang Yuna watched Huo Yuhao and her disciple disappear, "Be safe, Qiu''er." "I hope you realize you have a new family with us after this." A gentle smile formed on her beautiful face. ... Outside Java Ind, a powerful divine will descended and swept over the area with power presence. As golden blue light washed the sea, the space and time distorted, revealing a handsome man in blue. "Wutong''s Essence is nearby." "I can feel it..." "Don''t worry, Wutong. Daddy will fix everything!" Chapter 293: Its Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon Class (5) Chapter 293: It''s Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon ss (5) --- Chapter 290 --- The Sea God, Tang San, went on aplete rampage. Upon his Divine Will''s arrival to the Douluo, he doesn''t even care about his presence affecting the mortal realm. Tang San is the 5th Dimensional Being, one of the strongest Gods in the Douluo Divine Realm. In fact, his mere presence caused space and time disturbance. The sky twisted like rubber, the ground crumbled, and the sea rose into a towering tsunami that could sweep everything within one hundred miles. BOOM! As waves crashed against countless inds and drowned them, only one remained before Tang San''s vision."That ind." Tang San mumbled. "That ind must be the ce where Wutong''s essence hid. My divine sense couldn''t pry into it." His blue eyes glimmered with madness, "I only need one wave..." Commanding the sea, Tang San sent a mighty tsunami at Java Ind, yet what greeted him wasn''t the sight of a destroyed ind but an energy barrier instead. BANG! The tsunami collided with the energy barrier and dispersed like nothing ever happened. Tang San furrowed his brows, "What kind of barrier is this? Since when did the Douluo Continent develop such a thing?" After his ascension to Godhood, Tang San visited the Douluo Continent infrequently and only observed the mortal realm from the Divine Douluo Realm. He''s trying to act as the Douluo''s observer, but it has proven difficult because he had to put many things into consideration after bing a God. His responsibility spanned not just to Douluo but also to surroundings. And time is much faster in the Douluo Divine Realm. A day in the Divine Realm is one year in the Mortal Realm. So, It was easy for Tang San to lose some focus as he wasn''t omnipotent or omnipresent. How long has Huo Yuhao transmigrated into this world and merged with the original? Six, maybe seven years, depending on the time frame, and those years are only a week for Tang San and other Gods. They might enjoy a living environment that suited them the best in the Douluo Divine Realm, but that means nothing. To Huo Yuhao, the Douluo Divine Realm is nothing but a prison for the Gods and Goddesses. They couldn''t enjoy their times like the good old days when they were mortal. They might age slower. Yet that''s akin to a curse itself. Swoosh! Tang San''s Divine Will blinked and spotted two figures hovering not far away. The first is a masked man with long ck hair wearing a blue suit, and the other is a veiled young woman in a tightbat suit. He couldn''t feel their realm, but one felt familiar to him. The veiled young woman has silky blue sticking out of her veil. ''This girl feels like Wutong.'' Tang San thought to himself. ''No, there is no mistake. She possessed Wutong''s essence.'' ''In other words, she was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that I sealed with Wutong''s essence back then...'' ''How could she transform into a human this fast? I believe her cultivation is only 10,000 or 15,000 years old at the time.'' The masked man is none other than disguised Huo Yuhao. He doesn''t want to expose his real identity to Tang San too quickly and decides to y the character of the Dragon Nest''s Leader. "Oh, well. Look what we have here..." Huo Yuhao sneered. "The great and mighty Sea God!" "You know me?" Tang San grimaced because he felt Huo Yuhao was mysterious. Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned casually, "Only a fool wouldn''t know your identity with this much ruckus." "Not to mention, your Sea God''s divinity is quite eye-catching. The sea is whining within your presence." "I had to say, you''re putting many innocent lives at risk right now." "I thought you were supposed to be a good guy?" Tang San remained quiet and said indifferently, "I know you were the one who stole my daughter''s essence. Hand that girl to me." "Which girl?" Huo Yuhao mocked Tang San. "The one beside me, or the one you sealed her memory and joined the Shrek Academy." BOOM! Tang San''s aura erupted when Huo Yuhao mentioned Wang Dong in this conversation. The air whistled, and the atmosphere trembled like no tomorrow. Tang San''s family is his reverse scale, more so his only daughter. "Wow, scary! I''m so frightened right now~!" Huo Yuhao trembled in sarcasm. Meanwhile, Huang Qiu''er couldn''t help but swallow her saliva nervously because the Sea God was much more powerful than she expected. And this is only his Divine Will, not himself in person. Huang Qiu''er clenched her hand and vowed to be stronger. Stronger than Tang San. Yes, and stronger than anyone who wished badly for her master. Huo Yuhao calmly observed Tang San''s divine aura with Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Eyes and shook his head in amazement. As expected of Douluo Dalu''s first protagonist, his umtion is abnormal. Tang San''s divine energy reserve is probably four or five times more than other Godking. And his double Godseats yed a massive role in it. After all, Sea God alone is a top-notch 1st ss God, and Asura God is one of, if not the strongest Godking. On top of that, Tang San''s luck is immense. He wasn''t even the protagonist anymore because this was Huo Yuhao''s era, but he still had S-rank luck based on Huo Yuhao''s vision as the God of Fortune. If Huo Yuhao hadn''t upgraded his luck recently, Tang San might possess an advantage. Huo Yuhao crossed his arms, "I see... So this girl beside me. Nope, I can''t do it, man. I will make my woman angry because I let someone kidnap her disciple." "I will only repeat this once and for all." Tang San gazed coldly at Huo Yuhao. "Hand that girl to me, and I will leave immediately." "And if I don''t?" Huo Yuhao returned with a monotonous tone. "Then, I will take her by force!" BAM! Tang San teleported to Huang Qiu''er and used his Tang Sect''s technique that sucked any target in his hand. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t let him do that. BANG! A ck chain with golden runes appeared and blocked Tang San''s technique. Tang San''s eyes widened in awe because the chain absorbed his divine energy. Although the absorption rate is small, he could still discern it. Huo Yuhao appeared before the infamous Sea God and punched thetter''s chest, "Water Stream World Smashing Fist." BOOM! Tang San barely dodged Huo Yuhao''s punch with his left arm. Even then, he could feel a slight numbness in his arm. He was shocked, ''I know my divine will is weaker than my true body, but how could someone from the lower realm affect me?'' ''Unless this man was also a God, we are two-dimensional realms apart.'' ''This is not logical.'' Unknown to Tang San, the strong person he faced was just a clone of Huo Yuhao. The real Huo Yuhao would make him run for his money. "Go away, Tang San. This world isn''t yours anymore..." Huo Yuhao ced his hands behind his back and hovered in the air, looking like a mysterious antagonist. Tang San grimaced again, "You forced me to do this." A golden trident appeared in Tang San''s hand and made Huang Qiu''er gasp in worry. "T-That is..." Huang Qiu''er trembled, looking at Huo Yuhao''s back worriedly. "Sea God''s Trident." Huo Yuhao answered with ease. "An Ultra Divine Tool made of Martial Soul''s crystallization." "Don''t worry, the trident won''t pose much of a threat against me." Tang San waved his golden trident, and an imaginary tsunami appeared in the atmosphere, charging at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smirked and traced his fingers against the air, "Summon, 1 Star Cyber Race, Cyber Winged Kuriboh." Kuri! Kuri! An adorable creature appeared. It looks like a fuzzy ball with watery eyes and four short limbs. There is a pair of cybeic wings attached to its back. KURIII! The Cyber Winged Kuriboh cried out and released this electric field that canceled Tang San''s tsunami-like spear attack, causing the Sea God to stare awestruck. "What the..." Tang San didn''t expect Huo Yuhao to summon this weird fuzzball-like creature. Tang San''s attack is no ordinary spear technique. It contained his spear intent and divine consciousness. And to make it worse, this creature can cancel his attack! Of course, it is not as simple as it looks. Cyber-winged Kuriboh is part of the Cyber Race, and its nullification power stemmed from Worthless. Worthless is a Demonic Power that allows users to invalidate things, such as special abilities, properties, or effects. Huo Yuhao got it from the Draconic Deus''s Belial n. As long as Huo Yuhao understood the fundamentals and properties of Tang San''s attack, everything would be rendered worthless. And his Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao''s power just did that effortlessly. Well, Cyber Winged Kuriboh can only use Worthless once. Huo Yuhao tapped his fingers again and opened Cyberspace. "Tang San, you''re destined to be my rival atst." "But it is also a good thing." "A mountain can''t have two tigers." "Summon, 7 Stars. Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon!" SWOOOSH! BOOM! ROAR! A massive blue gate appeared behind Huo Yuhao, and a stream-lined metal dragon made its grand appearance with a sonic boom, roaring at Tang San. "It''s time to duel!" Huo Yuhao grinned behind his mask. Chapter 294: Its Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon Class (6) Chapter 294: It''s Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon ss (6) --- Chapter 291 --- Tang San stared at the Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon with a frown. He has used Purple Demon Eyes and his divine sense, which makes him realize the dragon before him is part mechanical and organic. However, the metal white dragon lives in such a bizarre way that he can''t find the origin behind it. Even the living part of the dragon is beyond his understanding. It is alive but not in the way living creatures operate. ''This masked man... Just who is he?'' The more Tang San thought about it, the more he was confused. Huo Yuhao calmly stared at Tang San''s confused face and grinned behind his mask. Yes, that look of bewilderment is never going old."Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon. Attack!" Roar! Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon roared and charged at Tang San with blitzing speed. A white lightning bolt stretched over the horizon and arrived before the Sea God. Tang San''s purple demon eyes widened, "So fast." BAM! Tang San swung his trident and shed with Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon, splitting in half. Watching the Cyber Race sliced in half, the Sea God was confused. "So weak?" "Why did he let such a weak metal monster attack me?" Tang San gazed at Huo Yuhao. "Is he perhaps looking down on me?" Huo Yuhao didn''t say anything and crossed his arms. "Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon''s ability activated." "Upon death, the Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon would turn into Cyber Materials and summon four Five Stars Cyber Race, Cyber Proto-Jet Dragons." SWOOOSH! Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon that Tang San sliced into half turned into a lump of metal in the air. Then, the metal lumps cracked into four cuter and little Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragons. "This..." Huang Qiu''er was speechless. Huo Yuhao swiped his fingers on the Techno Archon''s Construct, "Cyber field is activated. I used Cyber Proto-Jet Dragons and formed a barrier around you." "These little dragons possessed such a weird power." Tang San oversaw the Cyber Proto-Jet Dragons surrounding him and released an electric field in the air. Although the barrier looks weak, Tang San couldn''t take any chances. This fight is bing weirder each second. "Break!" Tang San condensed the power of the sea and struck the barrier carefully. Blue light exploded from his palm. BOOM! The Cyber field trembled like no tomorrow and looked like it was about to break at any moment. Yet everything stayed the same, even after ten seconds of intense natural power. "This barrier absorbs the power of the sea." Tang San put on a solemn expression. His purple demon eyes noticed the weird influx of energy in the atmosphere. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "That''s right." "The Cyber fieldwas capable of absorbingenergy and fortified itself even more. By attacking it, you essentially made it stronger." Of course, Huo Yuhao wasn''t dumb enough to tell Tang San the Cyber field''s weakness. He wanted to be a viin, not an idiot. In fact, the Cyber field utilized Divine Dividing and Infinity into an endless loop. As long as Tang San was dumb enough to supply the field, he would get trapped for another thirty seconds. However, Huo Yuhao knew it was pointless. Tang San was the child of destiny. He always had bullshit-level enlightenment out of nowhere. With that in mind, Huo Yuhao has meticulously cooked a full-course menu of Cyber Army for Tang San. His fingers danced on the Techno Archon''s Construct domain. Millions, if not billions, of Cyber Tuners appeared in Cyberspace. They kept appearing as Huo Yuhao''s divine energy supported them. Cyber D. Shining Dragon is not enough. Huo Yuhao needed a much stronger Cyber Race to make Tang San suffer bacsh for invading his private domain. Yes, he wanted to teach the Sea God a lesson. BOOM! And just as Huo Yuhao expected, Tang San quickly broke the Cyber field after twenty-one seconds. It is also faster than his earlier guess. He destroyed the Cyber Proto-Jet Dragons, the Cyber field''s weakness. Even then, the Sea God looks aggravated, as if someone had thrown bird shit at his front door. "You''re no ordinary man..." Tang San said after a moment of silence. "However, this farce ends now." A golden-blue aura exploded from Tang San''s body, enveloping the area with a sudden dread of tranquility. Every nt, sea creature, and spirit flowed into Tang San''s divine will and waited for his order. Tang San lifted his trident and entered a stance, which put the wind whistle in danger. Huang Qiu''er couldn''t breathe. She felt every cell in her body scream to run away. Yet she firmly stayed in her position. She had utter confidence in her master. Tang San made his move and swung his trident with the intent to kill. "Unfixed Storm." An attack faster than a light attack skipped the space and arrived near Huo Yuhao''s chest. Huo Yuhao let it hit his chest, which caused him to paralyze on the spot. Tang San moved his trident again and shouted, "Millennium Space!" Golden clouds swarmed the area around Huo Yuhao and then exploded at once. BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! The world trembled due to the explosion, and Tang San furrowed his brows. "Why did it feel like I was hitting nothing?" "Because you''re." Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared beside Tang San. "How did you-! Tang San''s eyes widened because he couldn''t detect Huo Yuhao''s presence. He used his technique again and swarmed the area with another golden cloud. BOOOOOOM! "Here, a gift for you." Huo Yuhao''s voice teased as he threw something at Tang San. Tang San raised his golden trident and stabbed the object. It was an orb-shaped object. CLING! A bright blue light exploded and blinded Tang San. "1 Star, Cyber Race. Cyber Summoning Gate." "Upon destruction, open a tunnel to the Cyber Space and summon three Cyber Dragon or its variants." "I summon Cyber Jaeger Dragon, Cyber Firewall Dragon, and Cyber Blue Eyes Jet Dragon." ROARS! Three massive metal dragons appeared and opened their jaws at Tang San. Tang San clicked his tongue in annoyance. Even though he wanted to destroy these metal beasts, there must be a trick like earlier. He also wanted to absorb these metal beasts'' energy but instinctively knew it would be futile because they weren''t normal living beings with Spirit Energy or natural energy. "Blue Silver Binds." Several blue vines shot out from the sea and wrapped the three metal dragons in ce. "Bad move." Huo Yuhaoughed. "Grand Fusion Gate." "Descend with the mightiness of Cyberspace, and roll earth and heaven to your whim. Cyber D. Shining Dragon!" Tang San''s divine soul shuddered. He witnessed the three bound dragons roar and turn into light energy that charged into a blinking purple portal in the sky. "I must stop that!" Tang San had a feeling about that purple portal. However, it was toote. Before Tang San could attack, an enormous dragon arrived in the outside world. BOOOOM! ROOOOOOOOOOARR! Cyber D. Shining Dragon roared at the world and released an aura that caused the surrounding area to glitch. Tang San stared at the massive dragon solemnly, "To think he has this kind of creature under his control." "The Douluo Continent has birthed a monster." Huo Yuhao gazed at Tang San and ordered, "Cyber D. Shining Dragon, attack." Cyber D. Shining Dragon disappeared from Tang San''s vision. Sea God looked around warily because he couldn''t detect any spatial, time, or dimensional disturbance. Tang San''s sense has reached the 5th dimension, but he still couldn''t pinpoint Cyber D. Shining Dragon''s position. A piece of dust flew on the corner of Tang San''s eyes. BAM! Tang San felt his divine soul just mmed by a heavy object. He crashed into the sea and caused a pir of seawater to rise. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! The ocean split into two, and Tang San''s divine soul shook his head a few times. ROAR! Cyber D. Shining Dragon appeared again and started bombarding Tang San with its tail cannons. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A water barrier appeared, and Tang San slowly stood up at the bottom of the sea. He wiped his lips and saw a slight redness. Shock. Anger. Indifference. Myriads of emotion filled Tang San''s mind. "I was injured?" "Hahaha..." "Destiny really likes to y games with me." "If I had to do anything to get Wutong''s essence, I will." BOOOOOOOOOM!! A crimson aura burst out and caused a storm in the sea. SWOOSH! Cyber D. Shining Dragon is still attacking Tang San relentlessly, but an energy sh suddenly slices the massive dragon in half. Huo Yuhao calmly looked down. "He is finally using it, huh? The Godking''s power." "Asura God." "Hehe, but this is also good. Tang San is digging his own grave." A cruel grin formed on Huo Yuhao''s face. As the Godking of Douluo Divine Realm, using Asura God''s power in the mortal realm might cause a bacsh from the will of the universe. But Tang San didn''t care much. Cyber D. Shining Dragon, who was in half, dive-bombed Tang San and released a brilliant white-blue light. "Quantum Core, Explode." BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! A terrific explosion urred and caused a ck hole that sucked all living things nearby. A mushroom-shaped cloud appeared for a second before disappearing into a void. Tang San gazed at the void and conjured a red sword, shing the ck hole into oblivion. After that, the ck hole vanished. He raised his gaze and met Huo Yuhao''s mask. Although Tang San couldn''t see Huo Yuhao''s face, he felt he was mocking him. "Kill." Tang San''s divine soul released immense ughter intent. SWOOOOOSH! Huo Yuhao watched another crimson energy sh fly. It was aimed at him this time. He stretched his hand and whispered, "Dao of Nothingness." An invisible power appeared on the tip of Huo Yuhao''s finger and shed with Tang San''s Asura sh, which made thetter disappear into nothingness. There is no fancy explosion. It just vanished. "JUST WHO ARE YOU?!" Tang San was frustrated. He couldn''t believe his Asura sh got effortlessly nullified like that. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "Hmm..." "Me?" "I am Ironman. Hehe, just kidding." "I will never tell you my super secret identity~!" He waved his hand yfully as if he was dismissing a child. "..." Tang San''s eyelids twitched. Tang San clenched his sword tightly, "I''ll kill you..." Chapter 295: Its Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon Class (Final) Chapter 295: It''s Time to D-D-Due! I Mean, To Master Techno Archon ss (Final) --- Chapter 292 --- "I''ll kill you..." Tang San made several afterimages and chased after Huo Yuhao, brandishing the Asura Sword. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao leisurely hovered in the air and observed the Asura Sword. "So, that''s the legendary weapon of the Asura God, the Asura Sword. Also known as the Sword of Judgment." "Of course, it''s not the real thing, but the presence that projection emitted is enough to show just how powerful this Ultra-Divine Tool is. Even the Dragon God couldn''t defend against this sword''s judgment." Huo Yuhao sighed, "What a waste for someone like Tang San to have such a good weapon." As Tang San arrived before Huo Yuhao''s eyes, he swung the Asura Sword andunched another energy sh. It was over ten meters and much stronger than the earlier attacks.Huo Yuhao calmly tilted his body to the left and dodged the energy sh, making Tang San frown. "Not so easy..." Tang San waved his hand, and the energy sh did a U-turn like a boomerang. At the same time, he also swung his Asura Sword again. Huo Yuhao got attacked in the back and front. BOOM! A red energy storm exploded in the sky. "Master!" Huang Qiu''er shouted in worry. Tang San nced back at Huang Qiu''er and stretched his hand, "Come here." "No, youe here." Huo Yuhao''s calm voice entered Tang San''s ears. Tang San felt an extreme force rocking his divine soul manifestation from inside, which sent him flying like a broken kite. He flew to a coral formation and crashed into them. BAM! Seawaters sshed everywhere. Tang San sted the seawater away and gazed at Huo Yuhao solemnly as this masked man actually survived Asura sh again. At first, Tang San thought Huo Yuhao was using space erasure to kill his energy sh, but something felt off. More so, there is no trail of Asura sh in the air. Even if other Gods defended against Tang San''s Asura sh, there is still a series of asura particles in the area. Of course, Tang San didn''t know about Heavenly Dao of Nothingness. Huo Yuhao used a higherw of the universe where nothing has yet to exist. It was one of the oldest powers, much older than the Douluo Dalu Universe. Even if Tang San dug into every corner of Douluo Dalu Universe, he couldn''t find the source of Huo Yuhao''s power. Unfortunately for Tang San, Huo Yuhao didn''t want to beat him with the power of Nothingness. That would be a one-sided beating. He only wanted to use Tang San as a whetstone for his Cyber Race. "Summon, Cyber Ritual." Huo Yuhao summoned an altar made of metal and blue cables. "Sacrifice one billion Cyber Tuners to revive any Cyber Race below 10 Stars." After that, one billion Cyber Tuners burst out of Cyberspace and vanished into the altar. "Come back to life, Cyber D. Shining Dragon!" With that, Cyber D. Shining Dragon returned to the living world. ROAR! Tang San''s red eyes glimmered with a cold light, "Not this thing again." He burst out with a godly aura and shed the air with Asura Sword before the Cyber D. Shining Dragon could annoy him. Well, it was useless. Cyber D. Shining Dragon glitched out of existence and dodged the energy sh. Huo Yuhao kept ying his cards, "Summon, 5 Stars, Three Cyber Clone Mirrors." A mirror with a metallic neon frame appeared. Three, to be exact. "Cyber Clone Mirror''s ability. Copy one Cyber Race''s appearance andbat prowess for three minutes before self-destruction." "Cyber Clone Mirrors, copy Cyber D. Shining Dragon!" "..." Tang San watched four Cyber D. Shining Dragons red at him. "Just what are these monsters?" Huo Yuhao looked down on Tang San, "Attack." ROARS! 4x. Cyber D. Shining Dragons moved like a blue sh and attacked Tang San from every corner. Even though Tang San has changed his divine soul into Asura God''s form, he couldn''t finish all these dragons at once instantly. Tang San stabbed Asura Sword to the ground and whispered, "Asura God Patrols." Four red figures emerged from the ground. They are illusory, and their appearances are blurry, but each figure is full of murderous spirits, holding a giant red sickle in their hand. "Attack!" Tang San pointed his sword at the Cyber D. Shining Dragons. Huo Yuhao watched this and shrugged, "Three Cyber Dragons, enter Jaeger Mode, Firewall Mode, and Jet Mode, respectively." The first Cyber D. Shining Dragon''s body bulged, and the halo behind its back became fiery red. It approached Tang San''s Asura God Patrol and disappeared before punching the red figure forcibly. BAM! The second Cyber D. Shining Dragon gained staff and created a barrier made of glitching energy around the second Asura God Patrol. ROAR! The third Cyber D. Shining Drago''s wings transformed into several jet thrusters, and its speed increased by leap again. The Asura God Patrol couldn''t react before getting mmed a few kilometers away. BOM! "They can even transform..." Tang San was speechless. He doesn''t know what to feel at the moment. Anger, awe, and helplessness. He couldn''t use his true power in the mortal realm as he was only a divine soul from the beginning. His Asura God Patrols should have the power of 3rd ss God, but it was limited to Level 99 Demi-God here. Tang San only wanted to retrieve his dear daughter''s essence and didn''t expect to meet this kind of trial. If Huo Yuhao knew what Tang San was thinking, he would have spit on the spot because this guy shouldn''t have split his daughter''s essence in the first ce. But no. Tang San messed with the Auspicious Emperor and sealed her daughter''s essence inside the beast. He is being over the top when ites to his own daughter. ROAR! BAM! The fourth Asura God Patrol blew up into smithereens after getting hit by the original Cyber D. Shining Dragon''s fire-lightning breath. "In the end, I have to use more power." Tang San sighed, and his anger diminished slightly. "Today, I will make everyone remember about the God who ascended 10,000 years ago." ''You''re just showing off.'' Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. Tang San breathed in, and his divine soul manifestation became more solid with each breath. Huo Yuhao prepared something, "Summon, 8 Stars Cyber Race. Cyber Chaos Box, Pandora." A mismatched dark blue box appeared beside Huo Yuhao. SHING! "Man and Sword as one." Tang San opened his eyes, and a red sword mark appeared on his forehead. "Void Cut." Tang San unleashed one of his killing moves without further ado and shed four Cyber D. Shining Dragons into bits before shing toward Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao''s Observation Haki activated, reading Tang San''s movement and future events. "Pandora''s ability activated." "Forced summons all Cyber Races in the area and turned them into chaotic Cyber Materials." "I forced to summon the one billion Cyber Tuners I sacrificed earlier." BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! One billion Cyber Tuners burst out from the Cyber Ritual''s altar, covering the sky with blinking blue neon light. "This is from earlier... I know he wanted to do something with them, and I won''t let that happen!" Tang San swung his sword relentlessly. Huo Yuhao didn''t care that Tang San destroyed a few hundred thousand Cyber Tuners. "Summon, 8 Stars, Cyber Proto-Awakening." A cross-shaped monolith appeared behind Huo Yuhao and emitted a humming noise. "Cyber Proto-Awakening''s ability activated." "Awaken spirit of Cyber Race." ROAR! A majestic dragon roar echoed from the cross-shaped monolith behind Huo Yuhao. The mimicked spirit of the Dragon God awakened, blessing the Cyber Race on the field with divine power. The chaos Cyber Tuners started merging into one, bing a vessel for the fake Dragon God''s spirit. A majestic dragon with a blue and silver armored body and orange manes made of pure electricity emerged. "Come to existence the avatar of chaos, and show your might before the arrogant enemy. Awaken, Nine Stars. Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon!" Tang San readied his Asura Sword and felt a threatening force from the new metal dragon. It might not be as big as the Cyber D. Shining Dragon, but it has the same presence. Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon roared at Tang San, which made him feel a familiar aura. "This aura..." Tang San felt his Asura Sword tremble slightly. "There is no way. Dragon God should have perished in the hand of the previous Asura God." "But there is a mistake. Asura Sword recognized this aura." Meanwhile, the silver dragon beneath the Star Dou Forest core is opening her purple eyes. "Dragon God''s aura..." "How could it be?" "I haven''t met the Golden Dragon King yet." "Also, this is a familiar ughter presence... Is it the Asura God? Has he descended to the Douluo?" "This is not good. I haven''t fully recovered my power." Back to the ocean, Tang San looked at the Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon with a dark expression. ording to the legend, the Dragon God was the most frightening existence in the Divine Realm until a great fight broke out due to his madness. "Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon, Chaotic Roar Call." Huo Yuhao whispered calmly. "Use the power of chaos to call another divine avatar." "Come to the world,panion of chaos. Nine Stars, Cyber Chaotic Purgatory Dragon." SWOOOSH! Purple mes ignited in the remaining Cyber Tuners, and another dragon appeared, which was no less mighty than the Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon. It is a muscr western dragon with a dark-purplish body and bat-like wings made of countless energy panels. ROAR!! Cyber Chaotic Purgatory Dragon poised beside the Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon, leaving Tang San and the Silver Dragon King far away to be confused. "This... What kind of Divine Dragon is this?" Tang San was puzzled. Well, there is no record of Naga in this universe. He''s a foreign dragon. Tang San started to feel everything was going out of control. No, everything is already chaotic once he steps into the mortal realm. He looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "He was the one who summoned these dragons. As long as I can kill him, everything would be over." "I will also be able to extract the secret behind this metal race." Tang San calmed down, "Asura Blood Sword." Huo Yuhao raised his brows and mumbled, "He actually ignited his divine blood. Wasn''t he afraid of the bacsh?" "Wait, I forgot that the protagonist always likes to y cards like this." "Come, then. Let me experience your strongest attack." Tang San shed his bloodied crimson aura and struck the fabric space with extreme sharpness. Huo Yuhao ordered the Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon and Cyber Chaotic Purgatory Dragon to attack. He watched the iing crimson arc and smiled behind his mask. SLASH! Huo Yuhao felt every fiber of his body scream in pain. That attack was dangerous. However, this much pain is nothing. Asura Sword is the Sword of Judgement, but does Tang San think he could judge Huo Yuhao? He has no authority over Huo Yuhao! BOOM! Huo Yuhao''s body swayed a little, and a sh mark appeared on his chest, making blood spurts out. He rubbed his injury andmented, "Not bad." However, Tang San''s expression is so ugly when he sees that Huo Yuhao survived his Asura Blood Sword. This masked man is no ordinary mortal-! No, he might be a God too. Tang San was dazed and didn''t notice two dragonsing at him. ROAR! ROAR! BOOM! Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon breathed out a beam of chaos energy at Tang San. On the other hand, Cyber Chaotic Purgatory Dragon breathed out a terrifying Thunderfire me. Tang San couldn''t protect himself with the Asura Sword because it wasn''t a defensive Ultra-Divine Tool, relying on his powerful divine soul to endure Chaotic Beam and Thunderfire me. "ARRGHH!" Tang San groaned in pain because Chaotic Beam has a corrosion effect against anything divine. It''s like poison. And Thunderfire me burned hotter than the sun, scorching Tang San''s body. Tang San''s divine soul was miserable. He wanted to dodge, but it was toote, and it became like this. His robe burned in several spots, and his left body was scorched, looking like a second-degree burn. Tang San huffed in distress, "What were those beams and fire? They actually bypassed dimensional realms." Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon''s chaotic energy originated from Sky Poison Pearl and Cursed God''s power. Each force is from a higher dimension, so it ismon sense that they could injure a God like Tang San, more so his Divine Soul. As for Thunderfire me, it doesn''t need an exnation. It was a weaker version of Neb Thunderfire, which has burned an entire universe. Huo Yuhao looked at the miserable Tang San and questioned, "Are you going to surrender and fuck off now?" "Never!" Tang San coldly shouted. "I will get Wutong''s essence back at all costs!" "Your funeral, then." Huo Yuhao snorted indifferently. He snapped his finger and summoned EAS. He didn''t want to use the Ebony Arms Shroud with Techno Archon''s power, but Tang San is a cockroach that''s very hard to kill. [Dimension of Knowledge - Full Force] "Construct, Cyber Hundred Dragon." Huo Yuhao copied EAS and used Cyber Materials to summon a new dragon. The new Cyber Dragon is shaped like a prism and hovered above Huo Yuhao''s palm. It was not just 1 Star Cyber Race but also the key to victory. "Cyber Hundred Dragon, On!" "Ability activated, the Key of Truth." The Cyber Hundred Dragon morphed and expanded before Huo Yuhao''s eyes, bing a massive dark blue key. Huo Yuhao knew what to do next and manifested his Gate of Truth. He braced himself and let the Key of Truth open the gate. BOOM! Huo Yuhao''s body froze on the spot as countless pieces of information ran amok in his head. Tang San was confused by Huo Yuhao''s action. After all, he couldn''t see Huo Yuhao''s Gate of Truth. Huo Yuhao moved again after a split second, andughter escaped his mouth, "Haha, no wonder Evo said not to use the Gate of Truth. It is truly addicting." He slowly nced at the floating silver-white orb EAS beside him and smiled, "Let''s awaken your spirit, Eas. I will also turn you into my first Artificial God." As if responding to Huo Yuhao, Eas released a dim silver light. "Prepare yourself, Tang San!" Huo Yuhao injected pure divine energy into Ebony Arm Shrouds and let a spirit consciousness grow inside the Hundred. At the same time, he also used To Archon''s power and upgraded EAS''s body with upgraded materials. Thud! A beating pulse appeared inside Huo Yuhao''s contracted weapon, and Cyberverse weed its first Artificial God. Shackles that bound the Cyberverse shattered, and a digital domain invaded the real world. BOOM! Zzt! Zzt! CRACK! Tang San watched the world transform, and the dimension supported it. The blue sky cracked into a starry sky, the atmosphere also darkened, and the sea became electric blue with strings of numbers flowing like water. "Cyberverse, On." Huo Yuhao warped reality with sheer control of Techno Archon''s power. What he did is considered taboo because he turned living space into a digital space. Eas soared to the starry sky and turned into an egg-shaped orb. All Cyber Races turned into pure energy and fed the egg-shaped orb with their lives, including the Cyber Chaos Emperor Dragon and Cyber Chaotic Purgatory Dragon. Danger! That''s what Tang San felt right now. "Born my proud spirit, and rule the reality. 10 Stars, Cyber Particle God Dragon!" Kacha! The space fabric shattered like ss, and a pure white body descended into the world of living. A pure white dragonnded on the sea of data. It has a slender eastern dragon''s body, four limbs with sharp ws, and gentle-looking organic yet metallic white wings. Above all else, it has Divine Rings or a halo behind it, fluttering with divine particles. [Ding! You have created your first Artificial God] [Please name it] "Cyber Particle God Dragon - EAS." [Ding! You have registered your first Artificial God] [Ding! You have mastered Tehno Archon ss] [Techno Archon''s Limit Break Skill unlocked!] A piece of new information rushed into Huo Yuhao''s head, and he was stunned. "Limit Break, temporarily raise Artificial God''s grade by one level." Huo Yuhao grinned and immediately used Limit Break on EAS. The Cyber Particle God Dragon let out a soft roar and enjoyed a baptism of Techno Archon''s power, feeling her power raised by one level. [Name: Cyber Particle God Dragon - EAS] [Type: Artificial God (Cyber Race)] [Grade: EX+] [Rank:¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î/(Temporarily)] [Combat Power: Half-Step Godking(based on the Creator''s strength)] [Description: The 1st Artificial God made by Techno Archon Huo Yuhao with [Ebony Arm Shroud] as the base. It possesses absolute authority over the Ultimate Particle and Artificial Divine Core(Evolution). It is currently the strongest Cyber Race and God of Cyberspace] [Cyber Particle God Dragon is the ultimate Cyber Race and possesses the power to change every particle, allowing it to change into myriad forms and wield myriad powers, not limited to Cyberspace alone] [Ability: Ultimate Particle, Divine Core(Evolution), Myriad Form, Myriad Powers, Particles Erasure] Tang San felt a shudder on his skin. He couldn''tprehend the sheer existence of a ridiculous being like Cyber Particle God Dragon. It is very existence destroys the bnce of the universe. Something like this shouldn''t exist in this world! Tang San gritted his teeth and was ready to unleash a suicide attack. He wanted to sacrifice his Divine Soul. "ASURA BLOOD SWORD!" Tang San held the Asura Sword with both hands, gripping the handle tightly. "Judgement Cut!" SHING! A crimson might over a kilometer wide raced toward Cyber Particle God Dragon and Huo Yuhao, hungrily wanting to ughter them. "Sorry, bro. You''re not Vergil." Huo Yuhao calmly ced his hands behind his back. "This attack didn''t have enough motivation." "Eas, be a good girl and help me here." "Yes, father." A feminine yet monotonous voicees from the Cyber Particle God Dragon''s mouth. Eas let out a soft roar, and invisible power shed with Tang San''s judgment cut. Zzt! Zzt! Zzt! Under Tang San''s shocked eyes, his divine sh quickly turned into energy particles and was absorbed by Eas. What was left was nothing but crimson light with no substance. "I-Impossible!" "Nothing is impossible. Eas, finish him off." Eas arrived near Tang San and bit him apart with her sharp teeth. CHOMP! "NOOOO, WUTOOOONG!!!" Tang San could not resist the ambush and red at Huang Qiu''er far away. The white dragon swallowed Tang San''s divine soul, turning it into pure particle force. Gulp! "Done!" She swallowed the energy and looked back at Huo Yuhao like an adorable puppy who waited for praise. Huo Yuhao opened his mask and revealed a proud smile, "Good girl." ... Douluo Divine Realm. At Sea God''s domain, Tang San spewed a mouthful of blood and felt his mind rumbling with madness. "ARRRGGHHHH!!!" He screamed in pain and sprawled on the floor like a dying dog. Eas didn''t just eat Tang San''s divine soul but also erased it with Particle Erasure, damaging Tang San''s foundation as a God. With such damage, Tang San couldn''t descend to the Douluo for a year. And yes, we are using the Divine Realm''s time, which means 365 years in the mortal realm. Still, Huo Yuhao guessed that Tang San had rare medicines that could help him recover quickly. He was the protagonist of the world, after all. "Wutong, Wutong, Wutong!" Tang San cried out before fainting on the spot and lying in a puddle of his own blood. That day, the Divine Realm was rmed. A Godking has gotten injured! Chapter 296: Celebrating Victory with BBQ Chapter 296: Celebrating Victory with BBQ (An: Extra Upload for the Week) --- Chapter 293 --- [Ding! Eas (Cyber Particle God Dragon) has killed the Divine Will(False)] [Ding! Eas (Cyber Particle God Dragon) has absorbed a small Divinity of Sea and Asura] Huo Yuhao stared at the divine will turning into blue light particles and shook his head. That was probably the lowest point Sea God had ever been since his ascension. Well, Huo Yuhao can''t me the Sea God. Living in the Douluo Divine Realm is pretty mundane and slow.That''s why Tang San was brave enough to send his daughter down to the mortal realm so she could experience the life of a lowly mortal. The problem is that Tang San had never seen an abnormal person like Huo Yuhaoing. Well, Tang San did sense Evo''s arrival years ago. However, he didn''t think much of it and ended up bing the reason for his misery. Even Gods couldn''t escape being yed around by fate and destiny. Huo Yuhao stared at the Cyber Particle God Dragon or Eas and smiled as this little fellow''s strength would grow beyond the Godking realm sooner orter. "Eas, return the world to its former condition." Huo Yuhao ordered the soft-looking dragon. Eas nodded and let out a gentle roar, causing the invading Cyberspace to retreat into the portal. The sky, space, and sea returned to normal at rapid speed. To make it even better, Eas also reshaped the surrounding sea with extra inds and coral reefs for the sea lives to thrive. The power of particles is very versatile. In fact, Eas''s Ultimate Particle is ''directly'' based on the Ancient Godlight Devil''s ability, a devil force and authority that created and shaped the Everlith Universe. After that, Eas nodded at Huo Yuhao and disappeared into the Cybervese, leaving a trail of white particles. Huo Yuhao nced at his left hand and saw a white bracelet shaped like a dragon hugging its tail, which was Eas''s new base form. Usually, the Hundred would have stayed in the Azure Emperor Vault, but not this time. After all, Huo Yuhao has awakened Eas''s spirituality and wisdom, making it a living weapon spirit. Huang Qiu''er kicked the air and hovered near Huo Yuhao, "Are you fine, master?" Her voice is full of worry. Huo Yuhao smiled and returned yfully, "What do you think?" "Besides this, do you see any more scratches on me?" He casually rubbed the sh wound on his chest left behind by the Asura Blood Sword. It was a terrifying attack, but the Divine Will wasn''t strong enough to hurt Huo Yuhao''s clone body more. But still, that was an achievement no one in the Douluo Dalu World had done before. "This..." Huang Qiu''er noticed the sh wound wasn''t that deep. Huo Yuhao chuckled and rubbed his chest casually, healing the wound and cleansing the Asura God''s aura. He also used his ability over matter and fixed his clothes. "..." Huang Qiu''er. Why doesn''t Tang San''s image in her mind look so scary anymore? It might be because Huang Qiu''er found Tang San insignificantpared to her master. It''s not that Tang San is weak. Strictly speaking, Tang San is one of the most powerful Gods in the Douluo Divine Realm with his twin Godseats. Huo Yuhao is just too broken! The masked man before Huang Qiu''er didn''t follow the rules of the Douluo Dalu universe and made his own rules instead. "Well, let''s go back, shall we?" Huo Yuhao invited Huang Qiu''er while extending his right hand. "Mm." Huang Qiu''er dumbly nodded, grabbing Huang Yuhao''s hand. They returned to the underground facility. Upon their arrival, the girls stared at Huo Yuhao with starry eyes. "Yuhao, that was amazing!" "How could you create so much fun and powerful stuff without me?" "Artificial Deity. I''ve only heard the rumor of it before. You''re bing more and more mysterious, you know?" "Yuhao, I''m hungry. Cook for me!" "Ophis, Yuhao-nii is justing back. Let him rest." Huo Yuhao felt great about their reactions andughed proudly, "Do you see how good the Cyber Race is now? In the future, Cyber Race will be one of Dragon Nest''s strongest leading forces in the frontline." "For now, I would umte more forces first." "By the way, Ying''er. Help me with something, please." He nced at the innocent-lookingdy. Qianye Ying''er giggled, "You want me to erase the bystanders'' memories, no? Don''t worry, I got that handled already." "You can rest assured, no one outside the Dragon Nest would know that a nearly apocalypse event just happened near Java Ind." A bright white light spread over the Douluo Continent and the surrounding area, erasing everyone''s memory of what happened a few moments ago. Of course, some individuals or creatures on the Douluo Continent could resist the goddess''s maniption. Still, Huo Yuhao asked Qianye Ying''er to do this job wasn''t for dominance. He doesn''t want every living soul to panic. "And done..." Qianye Ying''er said while drinking her wine again. She winked at Huo Yuhao andmented, "You owe me a date now." "Wait, that''s unfair. I can also erase people''s memories!" Yae pouted while crossing her arms, making her breasts jiggle. Huang Yuna pursed her lips and sneered at Yae, "As much as you wanted to do it, I believed you shouldn''t mess with people''s luck. You don''t want to get karma thrown at you." "Uugh," Yae grumbled because Huang Yuna was correct. Fate, destiny, and karma are three profound principles that protect mortals from divine beings or entities. Even though there was an exception to such a rule, as Huo Yun''er did to White Tiger Mistress years ago because Mother Fox was still a mortal back then, people like Yae are ''greatly'' restricted from doing it. One might think getting stronger means you''re free. Nope, getting more powerful means you found more rules imposed on you. That''s why what Tang San did to Huang Qiu''er is frowned upon. At the very least, Qianye Ying''er erased those mortals'' memories with the power of faith, which is one of the loopholes. Faith is a very vague concept. It can be weak and strong. Many worshiped imaginary omnipotent beings, believing those Gods could bring them into prosperity despite never seeing them. There are also followers of the said God, following his teaching to gain a small portion of his power. One thing is for sure. Everyone has faith in their hearts. It can be faith in others or themselves. The former is verymon. Thetter only happens when an individual wants to change something, no matter how small or big a goal is. What Qianye Ying''er did was ''simply'' manipte those in faiths. She unintentionally helped those goalless people to achieve more things in their lives with the price of losing some useless memory. Isn''t she a good goddess? Hehe, that depends. Yae narrowed her eyes at Qianye Ying''er, ''Maybe I should try gaining some loyal followers too.'' ''Ah, it would be a pain in the ass!'' ''Fuck it, I want tozy around in this second life of mine.'' ''But who said my disciple can''t get faith for me instead? Hehehe~!'' ''She''s nning bad things again.'' Huang Yuna sighed helplessly. This sly fox is beyond saving. Huo Yuhao nced at Ophis and Kunou, "Well, let''s have a barbeque while watching the tournament." "Yey~!" Ophis happily jumped from her seat. Kunou also pped her hand, "Good for you, Ophis." Huo Yuhao changed the room''syout and ced a circle table with a burning stove in the middle. He used Matter Maniption, turning air into A10 divine beef. After that, Huo Yuhao marinated the meat and prepared enough portions for everyone in the room. He also prepared some side dishes like pickles and veggies. Soon enough, everyone enjoyed Huo Yuhao''s meat. "Yum, Yum~!" Ophis couldn''t stop eating, drowning her mouth with Huo Yuhao''s meat and BBQ sauce. "Yuhao is still the best cook!" "He''s strong, handsome, and CAN COOK!" Qianye Ying''er nodded in agreement. "Let Him Cook!" Yae praised, giving Huo Yuhao a thumbs up. Huo Yuhao smiled, "As long as you enjoyed it." "Well, eat your fill." "I will cook more." "Long Live Yuhao!" "Long Live Yuhao!" If Tang San saw his new archnemesis casually making barbeque after destroying his Divine Will, one might wonder what kind of reaction he would make. Maybe Tang San would cough more blood? Who knows? Chapter 297: The End of Tournaments 2nd Round, Giving Up, and Anti-Divine Barrier Chapter 297: The End of Tournament''s 2nd Round, Giving Up, and Anti-Divine Barrier --- Chapter 294 --- "So full..." Ophis patted her t stomach. "Huo Yuhao is stuffing me with his meat too much." "Ophis, phrasing!" Everyone stared at the Dragon God of Infinity with a weird look. Even though they knew Ophis didn''t mean it, as she was ignorant in this field, they couldn''t help but be suspicious every time. Of course, Ophis is genuinely ignorant. "What?" She asked while tilting her head."Did I say something wrong?" "Nothing..." "Oh, then. Yuhao, please stuff me again tomorrow!" "We take our words back. You''re suspicious!" Huo Yuhao chuckled at their banter and said, "Okay, stop fighting." "Ophis is just talking about food." "Am I right, Ophis?" "Mm." Ophis nodded innocently. Huo Yuhao patted Ophis''s head and added, "I will cook packed food for Ophis from now on. She shouldn''t be hungry for a few years." "Oy, don''t raise a g!" Yaeined. "What''s wrong with you? Don''t mention a few years when talking about something." "Yeah, that''s bad practice." Huang Yuna nodded. "Even though you''re the God of Fortune, it doesn''t mean you are invincible from a jinxed situation. People say too much luck is a curse. Well, jinx was one of them." "Now you''re making me afraid." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched. Even then, he wasn''t that worried. After the emergency quest, Evo guaranteed there wouldn''t be a simr quest for another five to ten years. Huo Yuhao also needed to master many things first, starting from the sses and Heavenly Daos. The ss shouldn''t be a problem because Huo Yuhao mastered four of six of them already, leaving only Netherworld Avenger and Pagma''s Incarnation. "Oh, the second round is over. Only thirty-two teams were left." Someonemented. Huo Yuhao nced at the screen and smiled a little, "They made it, huh?" "It seems my teachings aren''t too shabby, after all." "They were lucky in thest match against enemies who used weak and low-level poison. They practically asked to be defeated by the Shrek Seven Devils I cultivated." "Hmm, Liu Mei should be here at any moment." "Which one of you wanted to fight in the next round?" "Me! I want to fight!" Ophis excitedly raised her petite hand. Huo Yuhao dumbly stared at the Dragon God of Infinity because she would blow Java Ind apart, "Uh, is there anyone else who wants to fight?" "Me! Me!" Ophis bounced before Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao threw a tomahawk-cut steak to the grill, and Ophis was quickly distracted, leaving him alone. ''So easy!'' Everyone thought while looking at the petite dragon. Huang Qiu''er leaned on the sofa and murmured, "I want to fight again, but I have a fair share of experience from the Tower of Babylon. Teacher, why don''t you fight?" "Me?" Huang Yuna pointed at herself with a sandwich in her other hand. "No, no, no." "Your teacher is toozy to y around with those kids." "I''d ratherze around." "..." Huang Qiu''er. Howe you pushed me that hard in training but thiszy yourself? At first, Huang Qiu''er saw her teacher as if she were a devil. But no, she''s worse than that. "Yae, why don''t you fight those kids instead?" Huang Yuna munched on her sandwich. "At the very least, you should exercise with your new body, no?" Yae snorted, "Fine." "I will show you something goodter." "But I will bring Kunou with me." "This is a suitable time for her next training." "Do you hear me, Kunou?" Kunou froze on the spot before sighing, "Yes, sensei!" "Good disciple." Yae nodded in satisfaction. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but shake his head at their back-to-back pass of responsibility. If not for Ophis''sck of control over her fast-growing power, Huo Yuhao would let her fight anytime she wants. ''Maybe I should add more seals to Ophis''s body?'' Huo Yuhao patted his forehead. Liu Mei knocked on the door and arrived with two familiardies. "Oh, Hi Raikou, Robin." Huo Yuhao greeted them. "I didn''t expect to meet you here." Nico Robin smiled, "Nice to meet you too, Master." "Hi, honey~!" Raikou waved her hand at Huo Yuhao. Liu Mei coughed, "Ehem, I brought them in because their teams failed to pass the second round." "Eh?" Huo Yuhao gazed at Robin and Raikou in surprise. They awkwardly blushed. Nico Robin exined, "I made a team with Raikou and recruited some decent people from the Douluo Continent. However, we faced Vali, Tobio, Gabriel-san, and Grayfia-san in a row." "Yeah, that should do it." Huo Yuhao pitied their luck. Vali and Tobio shouldn''t be a problem for Robin and Raikou, but Gabriel and Grayfia probably didn''t show mercy to them. Raikou pouted, "We entered the loser bracket but decided to give up on the tournament altogether. It wasn''t worth fighting because Grayfia-san and Gabriel-san love you too much, honey." "Is that supposed to be my fault?" Huo Yuhao was speechless. "Well, I can''t me you for it. Grayfia-san and Gabriel-san are, how to say it, a maniac for you." Raikou sighed while sitting on an empty seat. "What makes them more maniac is their power to create an army." "If you wanted to, you could conquer the Douluo Continent with them alone. No, that would be overkill still. You can ask for Gabriel-san''s assistance alone." "Anyway, I''m hungry." The voluptuous woman swayed her body sensually. "Please feed me food." "We are celebrating something with BBQ." Huo Yuhao pointed at the grill behind him. "Go sit beside Qiu''er and eat your fill." "You too, Robin." "Then, pardon my intrusion." Robin giggled while dragging Raikou to the BBQ. Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to Liu Mei, "How was the situation?" Liu Mei clicked her tablet and reported, "The second round is doing wonderfully." "Tomorrow, we can start the third round." "Have you thought about the seeded match, Master?" "Yae and Kunou will represent the Dragon Nest." Huo Yuhao replied casually. Liu Mei noted the answer and asked again, "Okay, what about the matchmaking arrangement?" Huo Yuhao pondered for a bit before answering, "Random." "Actually, no... Let the weaker teams fight against each other first." Liu Mei raised her brows but still nodded at Huo Yuhao''s words because he must have reason. "Master, about the Divine Will." "I believe a God has descended a moment ago, right?" "Yeah. Don''t worry. I''ve already dealt with that fellow." Huo Yuhao waved his hand carefreely. "You only have to focus on the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament for now." "Wait, have you condensed your godhood, Mei?" Liu Mei bitterly smiled, "As much as I wanted to, I was busy handling the Dragon Nest''s matters, and the universalws weren''t so kind on human ascending godhood." "Okay then, you will follow me to the Pirate Worldter." Huo Yuhao put the Queen of Thunder on the priority list. "The universalws there are verycking." "Thank you, Master." Liu Mei was grateful. Huo Yuhao patted Liu Mei gently and returned, "No, you deserved this, Mei." "Thank you for the hard work all these months." "The way I developed my godhood is different. However, you can ask Murong Qianxue for instructions on developing your divinity." "Mm." After that, Liu Mei left and dealt with the contestant who passed the second round. And many noticed the Queen of Thunder was in a good mood today. Huo Yuhao gazed at the ceiling, more precisely, the darkening sky, and mumbled, "I should start putting an Anti-Divine Barrier around the Douluo." "Giana, use the satellite to deploy barrier no.7." He decisively tapped his smartwatch. "Okey, dokey~!" Giana''s adorable voice rang from the watch. Outside the Douluo, a satellite orbited the and suddenly ejected a piece of ck metal. The ck metal expanded into a needle-shaped instrument that released a gentle purple light, shielding the Douluo from external influence. As the satellite moved around the, several more ck metals ejected andyered the Douluo with several barriers. "Anti-Divine Barrier deployed." "Energy consumption, 0,009%." "Radiation Level, 1,78%." "Missionpleted!" Giana''s crisp voice echoed in the silent space. Chapter 298: Broadening Horizon and Chat Group? Chapter 298: Broadening Horizon and Chat Group? --- Chapter 295 --- Huo Yuhao walked out of the underground facility. The girls are busy with their things, leaving him to his own device. He went to the nearby park and sat on a bench, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. "Now that I remembered, Evo, where is my reward for mastering the Techno Archon ss?" [I will issue the reward immediately, but do you also want to end the''Cyber Constructs''quest?] "Oh, the quest with no limit objective, wasn''t it?" Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin thoughtfully. [Yes]"There must be a reason you mentioned this, right?" [Although the''Cyber Constructs''quest has unlimited quotes on the objective, you have achieved the highest achievement in mastering Techno Archon ss already] [Mildly put, the quality of the reward won''t change much because it would be the highest possible reward for this kind of quest] [Of course, you can continue the''Cyber Constructs''quest and increase the chance of getting more rewards] "But it''s not worth it, right?" Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly. "I can''t create too many Artificial Gods within a few weeks because Eas(Cyber Particle God Dragon) alone was not pure Techno Construct." After using too much Gate of Truth, Huo Yuhao knew his limitations as this world couldn''t keep up with his Dimension of Knowledge nor had the necessary materials to build a stronger Cyber Race. In fact, Huo Yuhao had to brute force his way through to create Ten Stars Cyber Race and used synthesized materials. If not for the ''Limit Break'' skill, he wouldn''t have been able to break Tang San''s defense and beat him with Cyber Race''s power. And yes, this is the highest limit Douluo Dalu World can provide him. Truthfully, Huo Yuhao could get his hands on gxy-grade materials, but he didn''t want to explore beyond the Douluo. "Let''s end the quest here." [Affirmative] [Ding! You havepleted the''Cyber Constructs''quest!] [Calcting rewards...] [You have constructed over a trillion Cyber Construct, or more precisely, 691,213,696,978 Cyber Races] [70% of Cyber Races are Cyber Tuners, summing the extra points...] [29,9999% of Cyber Races are Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon Variants, or Synchro Cyber Monsters] [Summing the extra points...] [You have created three peak Demi-God Cyber Races] [Summing the extra points...] [You have created an Artificial God/Divine Construct that breaks five-dimensional order] [Summing the extra points...] [You have created a Divine Domain - Cyberspace] [Summing extra points...] [Congrattions, Host! You have obtained 1x Basic Omniversal Treasure Box - Tier 5] [Ding! You have mastered the Techno Archon ss] [Ding! You have obtained the VVIP Invitation Key to the Techno Archon''s Chat Group] Huo Yuhao raised his brow at thest reward. "Chat Group?" "Is this what I think it is?" [Yes, Host] [Techno Archon scattered all over the Omniversal Order, and their ways ofmunication are through Techno Archon''s Chat Group created by the Techno Archon''s first wife, Lady udia de Grace] "Damn, his wife made it?" Huo Yuhao was amazed. [Although the first Techno Archon is a self-indulgent individual, he was a pioneer in the field of invention and gained the title''Everchanging Star of Quaking Era!''] [He was the first person toy the path of Technology in the Omniversal Order. Of course, he wasn''t alone because he had his wives] [Do you want to join the Techno Archon''s Chat Group?] [I can connect you to it immediately] [Don''t worry, Host. You''re ''ultimately'' protected by the 1st Tier Seal, which means the other Techno Archons won''t find out about your identity] [Also, with your limited VVIP Invitation Key, you''re practically invincible in the Techno Archon''s Chat Group because not many people want to mess with you] [Only the Administrators and other VVIP members would dare to pry into your secret, but they would still find roadblocks] Huo Yuhao pondered briefly before saying, "Can you open the Basic Omniversal Treasure Box first?" [Sure] [Opening the Basic Omniversal Treasure Box...] [Ding! You have obtained the following items] [10x Omniversal Resource Packs(Small)] [5x World Travelling Tickets] [3x Small Universe Bags] [1x Tier 5 Mythical Heritage] "Woah, woah." Huo Yuhao''s eyes lit up. He didn''t know the three other items, but getting five World Travelling Tickets alone made mastering the Techno Archon ss worth it. He is in dire need of World Travelling Tickets, after all. Now that he has five more World Travelling Tickets, Huo Yuhao has more options for his future ns. He could go to Scathach''s homeworld and Robin''s homeworld without a problem. "Uh, Evo, give me the introduction of the other three items." [Okay] [Let''s start from the Omniversal Resource Packs(Small)] [As you noticed, it is the most basic and lowest resource pack in the Omniversal Order. But you got ten of them because you are Radiant Epoch, Host] [Upon opening it, you can get a broad range of Omniversal resources, starting from Omniversal Basic Currency, Constetion Coins, and other universal items like heaven and earth treasures, weapons, or equipment] [You shouldn''t expect too much from the resource pack, but you can still get a decent amount of Constetion Coins with your broken luck] [The next is Small Universe Bag] [Small Universe Bag is a low-leveled Omniversal Artifact, which can store a conquered universe] [It can only contain one hundred 7-6 Tier Dimensional Universe and one 5-4 Tier Dimensional Universe] [Small Universe Bag could nourish a low-leveled universe for 100,000 years before the Omniversal Order''s energy within it depleted] [However, Small Universe Bag also acts more like an energy battery powered by universes for Omniversal Order Beings] [Andstly, Tier 5 Mythical Heritage] [This is quite a troublesome thing, to be honest] [Heritage is just like Legacy, but much more stronger] [The reason behind it is because Heritage contains a strong Karma that binds itself upon the inheritor, which wouldn''t disappear until a mission from the Heritage is ''very''pleted] [Some unfortunate souls have been forced to murder, ravish, and destroy countless innocent worlds just to cut off the Karma] [In the Omniversal Order, the justice system is absolutely grey. There is no absolute kindness or evil. You can find all kinds of dialogical and just individuals there] [Host, I can''t guarantee you wouldn''t get a Heritage that was inherently evil] [However, your luck should help you with it] [Tier 5 Mythical Heritage would push your strength beyond the Douluo Dalu Power System, putting you as God Ancestor, which is above God Emperor Realm] [But please, please open the Mythical Heritage with caution...] Huo Yuhao was quiet. All these items broke his standard when it came to rewards. At first, Huo Yuhao thought the ss Mastering''s Rewards were powerful enough, but no. He was wrong! These Omniversal Beings used Universes as batteries. Huo Yuhao was curious and said, "Evo, open one resource pack for me." "I want to test my luck." [Yes] [Opening Omniversal Resource Packs(Small)...] [You have obtained the following resources] [10,000 Constetion Coins] [5kg of Starry-Eyed Bovine''s Meat(SSS++)] [10kg of Sunny Dragon''s Bone Marrow(SSS++)] [7 Liters of Sr-Swallowing Golden Tiger''s Blood(SSS++)] [1x Proto Lightsaber made by Acheron Emporium(EX)] "..." Huo Yuhao. "Uuh, what the fuck?" "I''ve never heard of any of these items." [That''s normal] [Most of these items from 5 Tier Dimension] [You can use the Light Saber as a reference for your Techno Archon ss] [As for the Meat, Bone Marrow, and Blood, eating them would nourish your body and bloodline even further] [I believe your Blood Core would get upgraded upon consumption] [Your War Beast''s Bloodline will mutate by one stage] "Damn!" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but curse in amazement. "I can''t wait then. Evo, open the rest of the resource packs." [Okay, Host] Evo opened the rest of the resource packs for Huo Yuhao, getting him a wide range of resources. Most of them were high-grade food materials, though. Huo Yuhao also got advanced weapons, armor, and technologies. Still, the most useful are ''basic'' recipes to create advanced universal alloys from ordinary minerals. They are helpful for his Techno Archon and Pagma''s Incarnation ss. After sorting things out, Huo Yuhao eventually focused on the Techno Archon''s Chat Group. "Evo, connect me to the Chat Group." Huo Yuhao said with a thrill in his voice. [Connecting the Host to the Techno Archon''s Chat Group with the VVIP Invitation Key...] [Linking...] [Setting the hidden background] [Setting a new avatar] [Host, please tell me your preferred username] "Uuh, Blue Lucky Star." Huo Yuhao replied randomly. Zzt! An electric blue interface appeared before Huo Yuhao''s eyes and shed him with a bright white light. [Ding! "Blue Lucky Star"has joined the Techno Archon''s Chat Group] ["Blue Lucky Star, Wee to the Techno Archon''s Chat Group!" - Thirsty Big Sister] ["Woah, a new member?" - Senior Steel Right Hand] ["Come on, let''s do the tradition." - Surfing into the ck Hole] ["Oh, no! They are going after rookie again." - The Honoured One] ["Fuck, they are fast! Newbie, protect your innocent, quick!" - The Eternal Virgin] ["Techno Archon''s Chat Group, Introduction Rule. If you''re a male, you must send one Dick Pic." - Thirsty Big Sister] ["If you''re a female, you must send one Boob Pic." -Thirsty Big Sister] ["If you''re none of the two genders, you must send at least one tentacle or mouth pic." - Thirsty Big Sister] [ "..." - Blue Lucky Star] "..." Huo Yuhao. Evo forgets to mention that Techno Archon''s Chat Group is basically the gathering ce for most perverted inventors in the Omniversal Order. Chapter 299: Techno Archons Chat Group Chapter 299: Techno Archon''s Chat Group --- Chapter 296 --- Huo Yuhao stared at the Chat Group''s interface with a dumb look. What kind of ce did he actually join in? He kind of regrets it. Also, this person with the ''Thirsty Big Sister'' nickname has been spamming chats nonstop. ["Do it!" - Thirsty Big Sister] ["Do it!" - Thirsty Big Sister] ["Do it!" - Thirsty Big Sister]["JUST DO IT!" - Thirsty Big Sister] Huo Yuhao ignored the spammer for now and typed, ["Is it really the rule of the Chat Group?" - Blue Lucky Star] ["YES!"- Thirsty Big Sister] ["No." - Senior Steel Right Hand] ["Yes." - Surfing into the ck Hole] ["no." - The Honored One] ["Hell Nah! Don''t believe the mercury witch!" - The Eternal Virgin] [ "..." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Hmm, you guys are bullying me! Only ckie is my best friend here, fuck you all!" - Thirsty Big Sister] '' ["Come on, Junior. If you don''t want to send it to the Public, you can also send it to me privately." - Thirsty Big Sister] [Ding!The"Thirsty Big Sister"has sent a friend request] Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and rejected the friend request. [You have rejected the friend request] ["NOOOOOO~!" - Thirsty Big Sister] ["You''re getting tricked by those disgusting perverts." - Thirsty Big Sister] ["This big sister is SEISHOU! I won''t do anything bad to your picture, I promise." -Thirsty Big Sister] Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly at the Chat Group''s interface. He doesn''t want to befriend an Omniversal-level individual yet because it would be too dangerous for himself and the people around him. Although everyone in the Techno Archon''s Chat Group felt weing so far, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t lower his guard. Staying in the Everlith Universe taught him to keep alert of all situations and natures. Then, a red-named member appeared. [''The Lady Boss'' is Active!] ["Fuuuu..." - Thirsty Big Sister] ["Kuhum, Big Sister is thirsty. I''d be offline for a while and grab a drink first - Thirsty Big Sister] ["BYEEEEEE!" - Thirsty Big Sister] Far, far away. A bombshell of a woman runs toward her bed. She has electric blue skin and red hair cascading to her hips, wearing a green apron and whiteb jacket. It was a puzzlingbination with her beauty, for sure. She hid under a thick nket and gnashed her pearly white teeth, "Damn it, I almost got my hands on the newbie nude." "Screw you, Unsymmetrical Bastard, Serial Molester, Lolicon Trash!" "Also, that scary woman..." "Ugh. I just wanna be horny, butshealways ruins my good time." ["That was chaotic..." Blue Lucky Star] ["That was just every day here." - Surfing into ck Hole] ["You will get used to it." - Surfing into ck Hole] A jelly-like being revolved around a ck hole and stared at the white screen with an amused human-like expression. "Interesting. A new Techno Archon in this era? The Omniversal Order won''t be so calm anymore in a few eons." The jelly said with a smile. ["Sup, Lady Boss! We have a new member here!" - The Honored One] ["I know." - The Lady Boss] ["Wee to the Techno Archon''s Chat Group, Blue Lucky Star." - The Lady Boss] ["I don''t know how you get the VVIP Invitation key, but you''re wee to share your knowledge, material, hobby, and life journey here." - The Lady Boss] ["Okay..." - Blue Lucky Star] From the name alone, Huo Yuhao knew the Lady Boss was none other than the first Techno Archon''s wife, udia de Grace. On the outskirts of Omniversal Order, a beautiful woman in a purple dress sat on a high-end sofa made by a dying star and sipped liquid primordial matter from her wine ss. She traced her finger on the ck interface, "Blue Lucky Star, huh?" "I heard from my husband the Great Omniversal Will has been rowdy a few moments ago and argued with 1st Tier Powerhouse over a low-grade dimensional world." "Coincidentally, the Little Lucky Star of Omniversal Order was also born recently..." "Blue Lucky Star, are you perhaps the Radiant Epoch?" "If so, I have to give a little wee gift. Not too expensive, nor too cheap for someone my level." She snapped her finger. A piece of paper appeared, and the beautiful woman in a purple dress wrapped it with her gift box, which was white with red ties. "Send." The gift box disappeared. [Ding! You have gotten something in your Chat Group''s Inbox!] Huo Yuhao raised his brows and checked the Chat Group''s Inbox, finding a little box of gifts from the Lady Boss. ["Lady Boss, this is..." - Blue Lucky Star] ["It''s just a little gift. Take it." - The Lady Boss] ["Don''t worry, there is no tracker, karma, or curse on my gift." - The Lady Boss] ["It''s just one of the old books my husband rarely used anymore." - The Lady Boss] ["Shock.JPG!" - Senior Steel Right Hand] A half-human and half-robot stood from his seat. He stared at the green interface with a shocked expression. "No fucking way!" ["Surprise Pikachu.JPG!" - Surfing into the ck Hole] "..." The Jelly. ["WHALEEEEEEEEEEE!" - The Honoured One] "As expected of Lady udia!" A humanoid beast in mechanical armor roared at the sky. He faced a purple interface with a feral grin. ["No way! Don''t tell me the Lady Boss gave the newbie one of the founder''s research books..." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Just one book alone holds tremendous secrets!" - The Eternal Virgin] "AAAAAAAHHHH, I''m SO JEALOUS!" A handsome man with a futuristic face mask rolled on the messy floor. Over a thousand petite women of all races and ages were in the room, staring at him, shaking their heads helplessly. He looked at the pink interface and bit his lips, "Blue Lucky Star is so lucky." Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was exceedingly confused by their reactions. So, he decided to ask Evo and couldn''t help but be shocked when the system said this gifted book might help him reach Tier 4. That shows just how valuable the wee gift the Lady Boss gifted by Huo Yuhao is. ["Thank you, Lady Boss." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Fufu, you''re wee." - The Lady Boss] [The Lady Boss has gone offline] "Damn. What an admin." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but praise. "Show up, give me a gift, and refuse to borate further." [She could have guessed your identity, Host] Evo suddenly threw a bucket of ice water over Huo Yuhao. "Wait, I thought the seal would help with that?" [The seal did] [However, you know the people in the Omniversal Order have a wide range ofworks, right? Your title as the ''Little Lucky Star of Omniversal Order'' might give it away] "..." Huo Yuhao. [Sometimes being too lucky is also a curse] "I get it." Huo Yuhao sighed while focusing on the Chat Group''s interface again. ["Thank you for the biza-! I mean, warm wee, everyone." - Blue Lucky Star] ["No Problem." - 4x] ["I have a question." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Shot it." - The Eternal Virgin] ["What do I need to create a better Artificial God?" - Blue Lucky Star] ["Uh, that''s a broad subject to learn in one sitting." - Surfing into ck Hole] ["I assume you just finished making your first Artificial God?" - The Honored One] ["Yes." - Blue Lucky Star] ["I am barely able to make one." - Blue Lucky Star] ["We all did at first." - x4] ["I think Ick the materials to make a better Artificial God." - Blue Lucky Star] ["If possible, I''m willing to buy or trade with you guys." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Oh?"] Everyone online in the Chat Group was interested in Huo Yuhao''s proposal. ["I''m not interested in selling my things, but we can trade." - Senior Steel Right Hand] ["Me too." - The Honored One] ["Well, I don''t have a problem selling my stuff." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Everything is negotiable." - Surfing into ck Hole] Huo Yuhao smirked, "This is easier than I expected." ["I will send a private messageter." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Kay." - x4] [Blue Lucky Star has gone offline!] Huo Yuhao leaned on the bench and shook his head because the Chat Group was interesting. However, he also needs to be careful. "Evo, open the gift box from the Lady Boss." [Okay] [Opening the Gift Box...] [Ding! You have received an Old and Worn Journal(EXX)] Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes bulged, looking at the item''s quality alone, and sighed because Omniversal Entity sure is on a different level. A metallic book made with a metal cover and crystal pagesnded in Huo Yuhao''s hand. He gently brushed the cover, unveiling unknown characters. [Ding! An Agaloran Language is detected] [Transferring knowledge to the Host] Huo Yuhao waited for a few seconds before a new set ofplicatednguage appeared in his head. He looked down and read the unknown characters. "Great Unification Form." "Interesting name..." As Huo Yuhao opened the book and read the first page, he got dragged into an immersive world of physics and science. "Genius! The First Techno Archon is a GENIUS! And this is just one of his many books." "The Great Unification Form is a form thatbines ormoreprecisely, unites the four fundamentalws, strong nuclear force, electromaic force, weak nuclear force, and gravity into one." "It allows one to harness the power of anti-gravity, super particle elerators, and even man-made sun." "There is no spiritual and magic involved. It''s just a pure scientific breakthrough." [That''s the first Techno Archon for you] Evomented. [He got the ''Everchanging Star of Quaking Era''title for a reason] "Yeah..." Huo Yuhao agreed with Evo. "But I will do my best to chase him and be a better Techno Archon." "Nothing can stop me." A rare,petitive spark ignited in Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes. Chapter 300: Random Encounters on the Street Chapter 300: Random Encounters on the Street --- Chapter 297 --- After joining the Techno Archon''s Chat Group, Huo Yuhao felt his view of the Omniversal Order was ''rapidly'' broadened. He met some entric people and was wary of their characters. Huo Yuhao nced at the Great Unification Form and shook his head because this book alone could shake the universe. The amount of usage is just too vast and versatile. He couldn''t imagine how bright-minded the first Techno Archon was. "Ah, Yuhao. Fancy to meet you here." A voice called Huo Yuhao from the right. Huo Yuhao nced to the right and saw Azazel with his teammates. They are from the Qianye n, which used to be the family of Qianye Ying''er. However, he also spotted the fallen attributes on their bodies, making him sure that Azazel had incited them to be Fallen Angels.Of course, not literally. Azazel has no such power, so he must influence their ''angel'' martial souls. The ck goatdy, Vte, is standing beside Azazel. Dressed in her gothic loli dress and chewed on lettuce leaves. "What? Are you hungry?" Vte said with a mouth full of lettuce leaves. "Lettuce is good for the skin!" She even handed some to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smiled, "No, thanks. I''m still full." "Okay, then~!" Vte balled the lettuce leaves into a ball and shoved it into Azazael''s mouth. "You bitch-! COUGH! COUGH!" Azazel kneeled on the ground and choked on the lettuce ball. He grabbed his neck and choked profusely, as he didn''t expect this development. ''THIS FUCKING GOAT!'' Vte snorted, "You deserved it, you scummy crow." "You forced me to maintain Dark Domain for too long earlier. Thisdy is exhausted." "And we still lost in the end, fuck you." "You little shi-!" Azazel rushed toward Vte and tackled her down to the ground, choke-locking her neck. "THAT HURTS, AZAZEL!" Vte roared. Azazel and Vte began to roll around on the ground while Qianye n''s promising members and Huo Yuhao watched them. "..." Qianye n''s members. "..." Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao hurried his steps and ran away from the area. These two are too chaotic. "Ah, wait! Zero Disciple, can you spare five minutes for me?" "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao halted his steps. He nced back and saw a golden-haired girl in a silver-ted dress who looked simr to Qianye Ying''er, albeit inferior in many aspects. They must be rted. The golden-haired girl bowed to Huo Yuhao and introduced herself, "My name is Ye Guyi. I''m from the Qianye n''s branch and the cousin of Sister Qianye Ying''er." "And what does it have to do with me?" Huo Yuhao returned casually. Ye Guyi''s body trembled because it was clear that Huo Yuhao didn''t like the Qianye n from his tone. The scandalous trick the patriarch did years ago became a disaster. Dragon Nest sent some people to the Qianye n''s mainpound and destroyed everything with value, leaving the family with Seraphim''s lineage to decline for months. The problem is that the Qianye n''s Main Family started robbing the branch families, making her and her family''s lives miserable. It''s not until Azazeles that their condition bes slightly better. "P-Please, let me meet Sister Ying''er. I beg you." Ye Guyi dropped to her knees. Huo Yuhao frowned at Ye Guyi because he felt pure Seraphim''s bloodline inside her body. Unlike Qianye Ying''er, who got her Martial Soul mutated, Ye Guyi must have a pretty strong ''Holy Angel'' martial soul that Azazel can''t taint. The degree of light element this ''Holy Angel'' martial soul has is nearly three or two steps away from the legendary Seraphim Spirit that the Angel God, Qian Renxue, possessed when fighting Tang San. One of her descendants actually did it. Unfortunately, Tang San has shattered the Angel God''s seat. ''This girl should have joined Gabriel''s team instead.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. Huo Yuhao clicked his smart watch and said, "Giana, send a message to Ying''er that her cousin is waiting at a nearby restaurant. Azazel shouldn''t have a problem that one of his team members is missing for an hour or two." "Okey, dokie, Master~!" Giana responded with her cutesy voice. She even made a hologram of herself doing a salute. "Check your smartwatch, and don''t waste my time." Huo Yuhao said while walking away. Ye Guyi watched Huo Yuhao''s back and bowed, "Thank you! Thank you so much, Zero Disciple!" "Ding! You have received a massage." Giana''s cold voicees from Ye Guyi''s smartwatch. Unlike before, it was emotionless, but Ye Guyi didn''t think much of it. Ye Guyi checked the smartwatch like those grandmas who couldn''t operate techs well and struggled for a few seconds before randomly pulling the message. It was the location of a restaurant named ''Angel''s Kiss'' one hundred meters from Ye Guyi''s current location. Ye Guyi bid farewell to her tainted teammates before running toward the restaurant excitedly. Unknown to Ye Guyi, she escaped a hole only to fall into another. It''s difficult to escape from this new hole. Or should we say cult? After giving Ye Guyi a chance to talk with Qianye Ying''er, Huo Yuhao went to his hotel and saw someone bench-pressing a fountain. "Sairaorg, what the hell are you doing there?" Yes, it was Sairaorg Bael. Sairaorg stopped bench pressing the fountain and grinned, "Oh, Great Daoist Yuhao, nice to meet you." "Don''t call me that!" Huo Yuhao is appalled immediately. "Oh, then what about Immortal Yuhao?" Sairaorg said with admiration. "Fuck, no!" "Don''t give me a weird cultivator nickname, or I will throw you into an endless void!" "Void..." Sairaorg was stunned on the spot. He looks like someone who just experienced enlightenment. "As expected of the Great Immortal Daoist Yuhao, your insight is boundless. To think you have a brilliant idea to temper my fleshy body even further with the power of void shows just how wise you are! This Sairaorg respects you even more." "To hell with your enlightenment..." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched as he kicked Sairaorg and sent him flying somewhere far from himself. "TO GREAT DAO~!!" Sairaorg''s voice echoed in Java Ind. "Is he gone?" A voice startled Huo Yuhao. "Yes. Were you the one talking with Sairaorg all this time?" Huo Yuhao sighed and stared at the brown-haired girl in a yellow cardigan, brown skirt, and whiteb jacket. The girl wore her sses and framed her beautiful face. "That guy has been talking to me nonstop while doing bench presses on the fountain. I wanted to run away, but he kept talking about Dao and Immortal Realm and somewhat frightened me..." She gazed at Huo Yuhao and covered her mouth in shock, "Z-Z-Zero Disciple." "I''m sorry for my rudeness." "I didn''t know it was you... My eyes aren''t good." Huo Yuhao shook his head calmly, "It''s fine." "I shouldpensate you in some way. That fellow is indeed quite annoying." "What team are you from? Also, what''s your name?" The girl fidgeted with her sses and answered, "I-I''m from the Sun and Moon Imperial Team. Technically, I''m only here to maintain their Spirit Guidance Weapons as a Technical Team Departement..." "My name is Ju Zi." ''That name...'' Huo Yuhao froze on the spot when the girl said her name. ''This girl, don''t tell me she was.'' "Um, is there something that matters, Zero Disciple?" Ju Zi was nervous. Huo Yuhao cleared his throat, "Nothing." "I will give you 10k more credits for Sairaorg''s rudeness. You can spend it however you like." "Then, goodbye." He walked away quickly. Ju Zi tilted her head in confusion and suddenly heard a ring from her right hand. There is a line that 10,000 credit has sessfully transferred to her smartwatch. "Um. I don''t know what to do with these credits." She said hopelessly. "I should talk with Elder Hongchen first." Ju Zi turned her heel and hurriedly walked to her hotel. Unknown to Ju Zi, Huo Yuhao never left the area and watched her lithe back disappear. "Ju Zi, huh?" "I actually met her here." "One of the most hated characters in the Douluo Dalu Series." "Reason... Stealing the original Huo Yuhao''s sperm and bore his illegitimate son." "Her fate isn''t any better than any heroine, but that was the path she took for revenge." "Fortunately, the same fate won''t happen to her because of the butterfly effect." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief. He doesn''t want to mess around with other''s fate. Chapter 301: Another Lost Lamb Has Fallen Chapter 301: Another Lost Lamb Has Fallen --- Chapter 298 --- Java Ind, Angel''s Kiss Restaurant. After receiving a short message that someone wanted to meet and talk with her, Qianye Ying''er spared some time because it was from Huo Yuhao. Qianye Ying''er checked her smartwatch and stood before a white building with an angelic theme. "Is this the ce?" "Well, let''s see who wants to meet me." Qianye Ying''er pushed the entrance casually and entered the Angel''s Kiss Restaurant. Her unique presence brought light to the room. She examined the white porcin interior style and gold chandeliers with cloud carving on the ceiling. She spotted a familiar-looking girl in a white dress sitting alone at the far-most left table and fidgeting in her seat.Qianye Ying''er raised her brow slightly, "Guyi? Why did Yuhao want me to meet this girl?" She didn''t think much of it and strolled to the table. Ye Guyi was nervous inside the restaurant. She had been waiting for a few minutes and thought the Zero Disciple Huo Yuhao was ying with her. Of course, that was just a sliver of Ye Guyi''s imagination because a high-end person like Huo Yuhao wouldn''t do that. "Hey, are we going to talk or not?" A sweet voice filled Ye Guyi''s ears. Ye Guyi turned around instantly and saw a goddess-like youngdy. She has fine golden hair, with each strand beautiful and more precious than any golden silk. And her amethyst-colored eyes are even more precious than any gem. ''I can sing my praise for hours, but it won''t be enough to describe her beauty.'' Ye Guyi thought to herself. "Oh, girl. Stop with the gaze. I''m not a decoration." Qianye Ying''er sat beside Ye Guyi. "Waitress, give me three slices of lemon cake!" "Three slices,ing right up!" The waitress, who had been staying idle because Ye Guyi only sat there for a few minutes, finally had a job to do. Qianye Ying''er snapped her finger, "Start talking." "And don''t even ever mention anything rted to my father. That guy is deader than death ever will be." Ye Guyi swallowed her saliva, "Yes, Sister Ying''er." "I''m here to ask for help." "Help?" Qianye Ying''er tapped her finger on the table. Ye Guyi nodded, "Yes, help." "After some idiots from the Main Family decided to contact your fiance and told him to fetch you in the Shrek Academy, the Dragon Nest sent forces to wipe them up." "D-Do you know?" "I know. I''m the one who ordered it." Qianye Ying''er replied while seeing the waitressing with three slices of lemon cake. "That trash deserves it." "What? Don''t tell me you went through all this problem only to ask me to spare those people?" Ye Guyi hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, no!" "P-Please don''t misunderstand my intention." "Although Mister Azazel has taken over the Main Family''s management well, I''d like the Holy Angel''s lineage to stay pure into the future." "That''s why please take the Branch Families under you." "We will be your sword and shield, though we aren''t up to your standard yet." "Hmm, continue..." Qianye Ying''er sliced her lemon cake with a fork and stabbed it yfully. Ye Guyi''s breath took a sharp turn. After all, Qianye Ying''er doesn''t seem to care about the Branch Family''s fate. Ye Guyi bit her lips, "After the Dragon Nest wiped the Qianye n''s force, the Main Family forced the Branch Families to hand over their resources so they could recover from their losses." "They promised that the Branch Families would get their resources back in a month or two. Obviously, we never did." No one wants to get on Dragon Nest''s BAD side, so the Main Family''s businesses start falling off like buildings made of cards." "They are declining so fast, like falling stars." "Even our Branch Family''s business was affected by it. We made a loss rather than a profit." "Some family members couldn''t even sell their businesses anymore due to your sanction." "Anytime someone hears ''Qianye'' name in the business or spirit master''s world, we will get condemned." "And?" Qianye Ying''er ate her lemon cake. "Without my mother, your Branch Families are nothing." "She did all those benefit programs to make your life better, but all she got is assassination that resulted in her death." "Even without my sanction, your Qianye n would die eventually." "P-Please show some kindness... Sister Ying''er." Ye Guyi was on the verge of crying. Qianye Ying''er rolled her eyes, "Guyi. Allowing you to call me ''Sister Ying''er is already a kind gesture from me." "No one could get to call me that easily." Her voice is even colder than any winter. It strikes Ye Guyi''s heart mercilessly. Ye Guyi still remembers when Qianye Ying''er was a meek yet joyful girl years ago. Sister Ying''er was the Qianye n''s heiress and the hope of Holy Angel''s lineage, if not for her mutated Martial Soul. However, all those years have ended. The youngdy before Ye Guyi is a Goddess who doesn''t care about mortals like her. Unknown to Ye Guyi, Qianye Ying''er was as meek and joyful as she used to be around Huo Yuhao. Such a persona only appeared when Qianye Ying''er wanted to get pampered. "Oh, I''m on myst cake slice already?" Qianye Ying''er said, making Ye Guyi panic. Ye Guyi frantically thought of a way and said, "I-I think Zero Disciple saw something in me." "What makes you think so?" Qianye Ying''er put on a darkened look. "Because If I didn''t have something special, he wouldn''t let me talk with you." "He acts cold toward me and only gazed at my body for a good fifteen seconds." "Then, he let me into this restaurant." "Hah! You call that achievement?" Qianye Ying''er snorted. She activated her divinity and scanned Ye Guyi''s body, finding the pure Holy Angel''s bloodline and light element. Qianye Ying''er would have been jealous in the past because this means Ye Guyi had a pure Holy Angel martial soul. But now? She barely cares. ''Ah, I see...'' ''Yuhao, really throw a big piece of work at me.'' ''Fine, let''s consider this a newmb entering the herd.'' Qianye Ying''er twirled her fork andmented, "Guyi." "Have you heard about lord and savior, Haoyu?" "Um, no?" Ye Guyi answered honestly. "I will give you a book. And I will ept your proposal if you finish it tomorrow morning." Qianye Ying''er added with a smile. "I Will Do My Best!!" Ye Guyi nodded like a chicken. She couldn''t waste this chance. Qianye Ying''er giggled, "I like the enthusiasm." After finishing herst lemon cake slice, Qianye Ying''er pulled out a thick book about Yuhaonism and patted it proudly, "Finish this by tomorrow morning, remember." "I will be waiting at this restaurant, same seat." Gulp! "O-Okay!" Ye Guyi clenched her hands in determination. ... The next morning. Qianye Ying''er ordered three more slices of lemon cake. They were delicious yesterday. She sliced one with a fork and ate it, humming as hasty steps approached her seat. Qianye Ying''er doesn''t need to turn around to know who it is. Ye Guyi is still wearing the same silver-ted dress and hugging the thick book of Yuhaonism. Her breathing is uneven because she probably ran to the restaurant while carrying the holy text. "So?" "What''s new?" Qianye Ying''er couldn''t hide her grin. The current Ye Guyi has this new light in her eyes. She looks enlightened in the way she sees the world. "Free." Ye Guyi answered. "I felt free." "Thank you, Sister Ying''er." "I realized my worry is for nothing. As long as I believed in Yuhaonism and devoted my body, spirit, and soul to it, there is nothing I couldn''t face." "Good girl." Qianye Ying''er praised, and Ye Guyi''s body shivered in delight. The Goddess picked the lemon cake with her bare hand, "You must be hungry. Eat this." "Thank you." Ye Guyi''s eyes shed as she lowered herself to Qianye Ying''er''s hand and ate the cake hungrily. She even licked the cream off her fingers. Like a baptism, Ye Guyi felt her body filled with newfound power. Qianye Ying''er watched a stream of primordial runes moving on Ye Guyi''s lips before settling on her exposed corbone. "From now on, you''re one of me." Qianye Ying''er grinned at Ye Guyi. Ye Guyi grinned back, "Yes, Sister." The power of devotion is scary. ... ..... Huo Yuhao yawned on his bed. He just woke up but suddenly felt cold. ''Why did I feel cold all of a sudden?'' ''Uh, oh. It is not a good sign.'' Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao just turned an innocent girl into his fanatic. Another Lost Lamb has Fallen, and this is just the beginning. Qianye Ying''er has yet to expand Yuhaonism outside the Dragon Nest. Chapter 302: Trade and Customers Chapter 302: Trade and Customers --- Chapter 299 --- Huo Yuhao yawned and started the day with coffee and checking his new Chat Group. [Ding!] [Blue Lucky Star is Online] ["Yo, yo, yo! The newbie is online!" - The Eternal Virgin] ["Morning, Senior." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Where is everyone?" - Blue Lucky Star]["Oh, they are only online every week or two. You know Techno Masters are always busy with their scientific research." -The Eternal Virgin] ["And you aren''t?" - Blue Lucky Star] ["That hurts..." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Anyway, I''m fine with no scientific research for now. It was boring for a genius like me..." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Sure." - Blue Lucky Star] Huo Yuhao knew every Techno Master had a unique and ground-breaking mindset, which means being entric is a small part of their wonderful personality. So far, that''s how Huo Yuhao sees it. Each member of the Techno Master''s Chat Group is a scary existence. Yes, Evo couldn''t provide Huo Yuhao with the information about these individuals. The system only records once-in-lifetime geniuses in the Omniversal Order. If Huo Yuhao wanted to know more, he had to talk with them in chat. ["So, are you going to buy my stuff?" - The Eternal Virgin] ["Don''t worry about the price. I''m willing to give you a 30% discount for the starter, but it onlysts for 5 Omniversal Days." - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and typed something into the chat. ["Do you ept Constetion Coins?" - Blue Lucky Star] ["Bruh, of course. Everyone has used those Constetion Coins since the beginning of time. What era are you living in?" - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao coughed awkwardly. It is his first time doing business with an Omniversal-level Individual. ["So, how much is your budget?" - The Eternal Virgin] ["100." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Brother, you better start praying... What the hell can you buy with 100 CC?" - The Eternal Virgin] In a moving spaceship shaped like a needle, the masked Techno Master couldn''t help butugh helplessly. "GOD DAYUM..." "I know he recently made an Artificial God. Still, isn''t he too poor?" Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched because he sent his reply before finishing typing. ["Typo." - Blue Lucky Star] ["I have around 100k Constetion Coins." - Blue Lucky Star] Huo Yuhao possessed exactly 175,000 Constetion Coins from opening the resource packs. It was an enormous amount for someone who lucked his way into bing decently well-off. ["100k? That sounds better." - The Eternal Virgin] If the Eternal Virgin knew Huo Yuhao had so much Constetion Coins from opening resource packs, he would beining to the Great Omniversal Will for allowing Huo Yuhao to have this much luck. BAN THIS CHEATER! Anyway, back to the Chat Group. ["100k is not much in the Omniversal Order, but it should be able to get you started in business. Tell me, Junior, what kind of scientific research did you do?" - The Eternal Virgin] ["Uh, I made robots. Cyber Robot, to be more specific." - Blue Lucky Star] "Hmm, cyber..." The masked Techno Master mumbled. "It''s not what I think it is, right?" "A newbie shouldn''t be able to touch that field yet." ["Can you be a little more specific?" - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao exined the base of his Cyber Race in the chat. The Eternal Virgin reviewed every piece of data and nodded because it wasn''t the Cyber he knew. Huo Yuhao''s Cyber was more artificial life. They could be biological or mechanical life connected through the digital realm. However, the Eternal Virgin is still surprised. The path this junior Techno Master takes is more challenging than your typical Techno Master because he also has to understand life and death through scientific means. "No wonder the Lady Boss gave him the Inventor''s old book." The Eternal Virgin sighed to himself. ["Okay, I can sell you a bundle of 5th Tier Resources for 25k CC - The Eternal Virgin] ["By the way, that''s a 30% discount included already." - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao slightly frowned because he didn''t know if this exchange was worth it. He asked Evo, and the system told him it was worth the price and he could try lowering it. ["Can you lower it again? I will buy five bundles for 100k CC." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Junior. That''s literally giving you one bundle for free." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Not Stonks.JPG" - The Eternal Virgin] ["Come on, this will only be a first-time thing." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Uugh, fine." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Take it as my kindness for the noob." - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao smiled, "What a good guy." After that, they do transactions through the Chat Group. Huo Yuhao got five orbs made of unknown metals, and the Eternal Virgin got 100k CC. Evo scanned the five orbs and told Huo Yuhao they were safe with no trackers. ["d doing business with you, Senior." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Yeah, that''s just a small thing." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Actually, there is a way to obtain more CC if you want." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Oh?" - Blue Lucky Star] Huo Yuhao was interested. ["What is it?" - Blue Lucky Star] ["I have a channel for Automata and Machine Race. Although they can make their own parts, they always bought the thing we Techno Master made for a high price." - The Eternal Virgin] ["I can get you their Constetion contacts, but remember to create their tools with the best you can. We are Techno Masters. We have quality and face to maintain." - The Eternal Virgin] ["As long as you meet their standard, you can get a ton of CC." - The Eternal Virgin] "Hmm, what do you think, Evo?" Huo Yuhao asked the system. [I think it was a fantastic deal, Host] [Even though the Automata and Machine Race exist in the outer-outer skirt of the Omniversal Order, they possess a good foundation over the eon and could survive for a very long time] [As the Eternal Virgin said, the premise is you finish the task sufficiently] "Okay, then. I don''t see why I couldn''t ept the deal." Huo Yuhao shrugged casually. ["Do you want the deal?" - The Eternal Virgin] ["Sure." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Good, let''s test the water with one customer first." - The Eternal Virgin]][ [Ding! The Eternal Virgin has sent you an invitation link] [Do you want to ept?" "Yes." Huo Yuhao answered calmly. [Ding! You have entered Channel 77 and could talk with customers] [Blue Lucky Star - Techno Master has joined Channel 77] [Ding!] [Ding!] [Ding!] [Ding!] [Ding!] [Ding!] Huo Yuhao''s presence in Channel 77 is like a pebble in the calmke, causing countless ripples. He received so many orders in just milliseconds. ["Hehehe, Surprised?" - The Eternal Virgin] ["This is the reputation of a Techno Master. Your title alone could generate wealth and fortune for eons." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Go on, ept an order." - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao stared at the orders and reviewed them before picking the most suitable one. He picked an order to create a Life Source like a battery or core and received a recipe for it. The reward is 50k Constetion Coins. "Damn." After epting the order, Huo Yuhao opened Techno Master''s work desk and slowly followed the recipe to create Life Source. Huo Yuhao watched a star-shaped core appear before him, pulsating with power. His eyes are ''naturally'' widened because this piece of technology alone is many years ahead of Dragon Nest. "I think I have found the loophole." Huo Yuhao grinned like a wicked merchant. "I can steal their technology while making money, haha~!" However, Huo Yuhao realized his customer must be expecting something more from this Life Source. The customer didn''t want him to follow the recipe and be over with it. The Eternal Virgin has given me the clue. He must create everything with the best he could. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and scanned the Life Source to see if he could upgrade it. Three minutester, he modified the recipe and changed some materials. [Ding! You have created a Construct!] Huo Yuhao stared at the now-smaller Life Source and said, "I will name you Star''s Core." "Send the order, Evo." [Sending...] The new Life Source disappeared from the work desk and appeared far away in the Omniversal Order. When the order arrived at the hand of Automata Race, everyone was shocked. Channel 77 bes chaotic. Huo Yuhao received hismission, and countless orders appeared in his inbox. ["Not bad, Newbie." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Keep it up." - The Eternal Virgin] [The Eternal Virgin has gone offline] Huo Yuhao stared at the blue interface as he knew that was the Eternal Virgin''s way to help him. The Eternal Virgin knew Huo Yuhaocked money, skill, and recipes. Huo Yuhao couldn''t be more thankful, "Thanks." Far, far away. A spaceship arrived before a super, and the masked Techno Master sat on his seat calmly. He stared at the Life Source in his hand and smirked, "He upgraded Tier 5 Recipe with 70% improvement..." "As expected. Blue Lucky Star is not an ordinary Techno Master." "I wonder how far he could reach." "Investing in him doesn''t sound bad." A young girl in a green dress appeared beside the masked Techno Master and said, "Husband, we have arrived at the base." "Do you want to eat?" "Do you want to take a bath?" "Or... Do you want me?" The masked Techno Master smiled behind his mask, "Lily, you''re so cute." "Hehe, I know." The young girl sat on hisp. "This is life~!" The masked Techno Master rubbed the young girl''s head in satisfaction. Chapter 303: Huo Yuner Trapped, Direct Plan, and Pirate World Again? Chapter 303: Huo Yun''er Trapped, Direct n, and Pirate World Again? (Author Note: An Extra Upload! We have reached 300th Chapters! To be honest, I didn''t expect to reach this far with this story. And this wouldn''t happen without your support. Thanks, everyone!) --- Chapter 300 --- Huo Yuhao finished a few more tasks and gained himself 300k CC before choosing to stop. After all, he just obtained quite a substantial amount of knowledge and needed time to digest it. Even though Huo Yuhao was monstrous, he couldn''t skip Omniversal-level recipes and knowledge. He had his own limitations. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, the rate of him absorbing Omniversal Knowledge is faster than any inborn Omniversal Beings. He''s no sponge anymore but a literal void that absorbs everything instantly. "That was a pretty good harvest." Huo Yuhao stretched in his bedroom and heard a ring from his smartwatch. He nced at the smartwatch and saw it was a call from his mother, Huo Yun''er.He epted the call, "Morning." "Morning, Hao''er." Huo Yun''er replied while being god-know-where. She looks like she is in a rainforest. "I called you because I put myself in quite a predicament." Huo Yuhao frowned, "Are you okay? Where are you?" Huo Yun''er smiled wryly, "If I knew, I wouldn''t be calling you. However, I am sure I''m still on the Douluo because our smartwatch is still connected somehow." "Giana has scanned the with satellites, and we have concluded that I entered a random secret realm." "Don''t worry. I''m not in grave danger or anything." "This ce doesn''t look dangerous. I found some prehistoric beasts, but that''s it." "How did you end up there in the first ce?" Huo Yuhao was speechless. Huo Yun''er giggled, "Well... It was quite an embarrassing story." "I was enjoying my finest wine when you fought that shabby-looking God yesterday and noticed massive spatial tears manifesting around Java Ind. As I closed them, my hand identally got stuck in one of them." "And tadaa... I got teleported into this secret realm. Well, trapped is the proper word for my situation." Huo Yuhao facepalmed after hearing her exnation because she should not be doing that. Yesterday, the amount of destruction Tang San brought to the Douluo is grave. Although Huo Yun''er is a strong Goddess, her power has yet to reach its peak. It is ''extremely'' easy for Huo Yun''er to get swayed by the higher dimensional power and enter an unknown space and time. Thankfully, Huo Yun''er didn''t look like she was in a dangerous dimension. And it''s not just Huo Yun''er. Many people were ''unfortunately'' killed by Tang San''s descent. Even if they survived out of luck, they are probably in a situation worse than death. Huo Yuhao managed the situation with the help of Qianye Ying''er, but people would soon realize the weird disappearance of these unlucky people. "Yun''er. Hear me out." Huo Yuhao put on a solemn expression. "Your survival is the most important thing right now." "Do your best to get out of that secret realm." "Also, find survivors and bring them alone if possible." Huo Yun''er nodded in understanding, "Okay." "I will send you more updatester. Love you~!" She sent him a flying kiss while closing the call. Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, "Why did she look like she was on vacation?" He was not in the mood for breakfast anymore. Huo Yuhao sighed and changed his clothes into a blue-white hoodie and ck jeans. Someone emerged in the room, and the temperature dropped slightly. "Do you need something, Anna?" Anastasia, the Primordial Snow Woman, smiled and replied, "I''m thinking of apanying you today, Master." "Yesterday, I was reborn and haven''t adapted to the atmosphere, but today is different." "I felt like I could be useful to you." Tian Mengughed in the Spiritual Realm and said, ''Hehehe, you''re probably going to be Huo Yuhao''s portable air conditioner.'' ''Tian Meng! How dare you!'' Bing Di chased after the shameless worm ice dragon. "What''s a portable air conditioner?" Anastasia tilted her head in confusion. Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched, "Don''t listen to Tian Meng''s nonsense." "Oh, okay..." Anastasia was still confused. In Huo Yuhao''s Spiritual Realm, Bing Di is freezing Tian Meng into an ice statue. Eluxia shook her head, and Helena pped her hand joyfully. ''You and your big mouth, Tian Meng.'' Eluxiamented while staring at the ice statue. After that, Huo Yuhao and Anastasia exited the hotel room. They met with some people in the lobby but ignored them. Huo Yuhao''s current goal is to meet with Liu Mei and arrange some squad to look for Huo Yun''er. Since the satellite''s ranged scan couldn''t pinpoint her location, they needed focused teams. When Huo Yuhao stepped into the underground facility, the space warped and sent him to the conference room. Not only Liu Mei was here, but the other elders also attended the meeting. "Good, everyone is here." Huo Yuhao said while sitting on the main seat. "The meeting is short." "As you know, I fought with the Sea God, who made somemotions yesterday." ''I don''t think somemotion will cut it, Leader. You guys are pretty much tearing the apart.'' Everyone thought awkwardly. Huo Yuhao didn''t mind their gazes and continued, "The result of the fight is the death of innocents and spatial tears all over the." "Although it wasn''t my fault, I don''t want bad karma, so your job is to close these spatial tears and gather every survivor you found." ''This will also make Sea God''s karma worsen.'' Eluxiamented in the Spiritual Realm. ''He has created chaos as a god and would be punished by it if you can rescue those people.'' ''Weakening Sea God, even stripping his divinity, is not impossible.'' ''After all, Sea God''s divinity requires faith.'' Huo Yuhao smiled inwardly because that was what he was nning as well. Since Tang San has descended upon the Douluo, they could start their God yer project again. "Any question?" Huo Yuhao asked while gazing at his subordinates. Murong Qianxue suddenly raised her hand, "Me." "Go on, Qianxue." "Who is that woman?" Murong Qianxue red at Anastasia. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "She''s my new spirit. People in the Douluo Continent know her as the lofty Snow Emperor of the Extreme North." "Snow Emperor..." Everyone in the room stared at Anastasia in profound yet sudden realization. No wonder they felt the extreme chill from this snowy woman. Murong Qianxue has a strong Martial Soul rted to the Winter Season, which means she could feel more than other elders. Anastasia''s sheer existence felt like a sun, more precisely, a cold moon, to her. ''I will keep my eyes on her.'' Murong Qianxue thought. With that in mind, Murong Qianxue stopped asking for trouble. She couldn''t do anything to her Master''s spirit. Huo Yuhao pped his hand, "Okay, then. The meeting is over." "Qianxue, Mei, stay." The elders disappeared one after another, wanting to gather more forces for the task Dragon Nest''s Leader had thrown on them. Liu Mei and Murong Qianxue stood before Huo Yuhao, staying in a resting position. "How is your progress on forming divinity?" Huo Yuhao asked Liu Mei. Liu Mei smiled slightly, "I made some progress. But I''m still far from forming my divinity." "The universalw here is weird." Murong Qianxue added. "It was rigid, not allowing for advancement like Draconic Deus." "That''s just how this world works," Anastasiamented casually. "In fact, It was a way for the world to bnce things up." "Bing a God is not an easy matter." Huo Yuhao knew there would be a problem like this. It seems Liu Mei needs an istion from the universalw to form her divinity. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "When will the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament''s next round get started?" "In five days to a week. The fight between Master and Sea God absorbed too much energy, and we lost 80% from enduring the impact alone..." Liu Mei sighed weakly. "We must fix some underground systems and facilities." "My bad." Huo Yuhao put on a wry expression. "I will be more careful next time." Liu Mei shook her head gently, "It''s not your fault, Master. Sea God is a formidable opponent." "We should sue him for material damage if we can." "..." Murong Qianxue. "..." Anastasia. Did this woman say she wanted to sue a God? "Liu Mei... Wild." Murong Qianxue mumbled. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "We will see about that in the future." "Five to seven days, huh?" "Maybe we can visit the Pirate World first and let you condense your divinity there. It''s safer there, too." "Liu Mei, I want you to call some people..." Huo Yuhao leaned on his chair. "Especially Nico Robin." "It''s time for Robin to meet her crewmates." Chapter 304: Tiny World, The Beginning Chapter 304: Tiny World, The Beginning --- Chapter 301 --- Seven people gathered under a palm tree. Besides Nico Robin and Liu Mei, Huo Yuhao brought four more people. They are close to reaching Deity Level and have the most potential to form a Divinity. "Okay, are you girls ready?" Huo Yuhao asked while looking at his little team. "We are ready!" 6x. Each d in a white coat, with furred high cors and folded ends. There is also a purplish-blue dragon mark across the fabric with gleaming dark chains, and it looks alive as the robe swayed by body movement. Nico Robin wore a stretchy purple blouse and a ck skirt beneath her robe, which made her curve and chest stand out. She let her long, ck hair cascade to her back, enhancing her ''female fatale'' beauty even more. Next to her is Minamoto no Raikou, who wore a one-piece summer dress with her white coat, making her look more ''Milfy'' than ever. Unlike Robin, she styled her hair in a braid.Behind them, Huang Qiu''er buttoned her white coat, only exposing her ck glove-covered arms and silk stocking-d thighs. She styled her hair in a ponytail. Even then, they make her look mysterious. Liu Mei leaned on the palm tree. She still wore her secretary-like outfit with a blue suit and pants but just had the white coat on. She doesn''t stand out, but those wavy long hairs did make her sexy for some reason. On the other end are the surprising members of this journey. They are none other than Valerie Tepes and Rossweisse. Valerie smiled while ying with her coat and twirled because her team failed to pass the second round. She lost three matches in a row, which made gentle teacher Scathach punish her by following Huo Yuhao to another world and training there. Rossweisse fumbled with her fingers because she was ufortable with thesedies'' presence. She was chosen for this journey because Valerie and she had been a good duo. She''s a Valkyrie and a good assistant overall in terms of magic. Although Huo Yuhao doesn''t know if Draconic Deus''s magic works in the Pirate World, there is no harm in bringing her there. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao couldn''t bring the Shrek Academy''s girls to the Pirate World for obvious reasons. They are close to Huo Yuhao. Heck! Zhang Lexuan is his girlfriend, but they aren''t part of Dragon Nest yet. One might wonder, where is Anastasia, the Snow Empress? Since Anastasia was Huo Yuhao''s spirit, she had a first-ss seat to enter the Pirate World without moving a finger. The same rules apply to Huo Yuhao''s other spirits. Huo Yuhao smiled at the girls, "I will start the teleportation technique then." Everyone stared at Huo Yuhao and brimmed with excitement. They could not wait to see another world. Of course, Nico Robin is more excited to see her crewmates and find the truth about the Pirate World''s true history. She has left for quite a while. ording to Huo Yuhao, her time is cut short due to the difference in time between worlds, so the time she spent in the Draconic Deus and Douluo Dalu World is two years in the Pirate World. Huo Yuhao told Evo to use the World Travelling Ticket, and the beautiful blue light swallowed them all. They vanished from Java Ind and felt the space, time, and dimension around them warped rapidly. The girls are fascinated by this phenomenon. Some even stared at the kaleidoscopic dimensional path with great interest as if they had uncovered a big secret. Huo Yuhao nced at the dimensional path with the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and showed no interest in it. He has witnessed the same sight when moving from the Everlith Universe and Draconic Deus back and forth. [World Travel Sess!] Evo showed Huo Yuhao a bright blue screen. Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction and suddenly found himself free-falling from the sky. He looked around and frowned because he couldn''t find the girls anywhere. He also couldn''t sense their presence, as if they were not in the same realm as him. "Evo, where are they?" Huo Yuhao asked the system. [It seems the same thing has happened again] Evo answered. "What do you mean?" [I used the World-Travelling Ticket to the timeline you traveled into in the past, but trigger some errors in return] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched. "Wait, don''t tell me I got teleported to the past again?" [Yes, I''m afraid so] [I will do a detailed scan...] [This...] [No, to be precise, something called you here] [It''s the will of this world] Huo Yuhao''s face darkened as he kicked the air and floated. He scanned the area with the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao but found nothing but the sea. Is this the state of Pirate World in the beginning? He looked down and smirked, "Are you not going to show yourself? My eyes are getting tired of seeing nothing but the ocean." A whirlpool appeared below Huo Yuhao, and a feminine figure appeared, wrapped in fine white silk. She has a mermaid lower half with pearly blue scales, a human upper half with a youthful face, and a handful of lovely blue hair. In fact, the mermaiddy looks very simr to Huo Yuhao. The only difference is their eyes. Huo Yuhao''s eyes are royal azure blue with white starry specks. Meanwhile, the mermaiddy has a pair of clear blue eyes like the ocean itself. One would think they are rted, but they aren''t. "Why are you calling me here?" Huo Yuhao asked the mermaid. The mermaiddy opened her attractive red lips and answered, "To show you something..." "But before that, let me introduce myself." "My name is Oceana." "I''m the spirit of this world. No, to be exact, I was the spirit of this world before the influence of higher realm descent and changed everything." Huo Yuhao raised his brows andmented, "Tiny World?" Oceana smiled, "That would be the name of this world, yes." "But that name has been lost in history." "Only a handful of people could get their information about Tiny World, but none can uncover the secret." "Man named Joy Boy and Roger are close to uncovering it." "However, their fates are grim." "Those devils envy people with talents and great luck." "Devils?" Huo Yuhao gave Oceana a weird expression. "Are you talking about the people who brought the raw power of concepts to this world?" "Yes." Oceana grimaced. "They are the worst and possibly will be your biggest enemy in the future." "Haha, interesting." Huo Yuhaoughed out loud because he didn''t think people who could only wield the raw power of concepts couldpete with him. But it''s okay. "Show it to me, then, Oceana." Huo Yuhao liked to see just what kind of individuals these devils were. Are they perhaps like the Devils in the Everlith Universe? However, Huo Yuhao found his thoughtsughable. Oceana nodded, "That''s my goal." After saying that, Oceana snapped her fingers and caused the scenery to change rapidly. Dark clouds surrounded the sky, and thunderbolts fell like rain. A massive ck swirl appeared, and hideous creatures shaped like trees with countless faces, mouths, and limbs descended one after another like water droplets, tainting the sea with colorful light. The world began to change. These hideous creatures changed the once calm sea into a ragged, stormy ocean. Lands resurfaced rapidly, followed by mountains and unknown lifeforms. "This is just the beginning..." Oceana said solemnly. She pointed at the dark swirl, "The Ancestor of D and Celestial Dragons areing." BOOM! The dark swirl spatted many humans. These humans look weird as their bodiese from various heights and possess animalistic traits. Monkey, dragon, etc. However, then another wave of humans arrived. These humans look different than the first. They genuinely look like humans but are deformed in some areas. Some look perfect, though. Both humans possessed hatred toward each other and began fighting against the chaos. They ended up injuring each side badly, causing the first wave of humans to flee and scatter across the world. The second wave of humansughed but looked gloomy as they stared at the ck swirl and sighed. Huo Yuhao calmly watched the timpse, witnessing the second wave of humans creating kingdoms while the first wave went into hiding. Many yearster, native humans, giants, and other races were born. Yet, this is just the beginning of true chaos. The massive dark swirls turned into crimson cracks. Chapter 305: The Warden and Concept Fruits Garden Chapter 305: The Warden and Concept Fruits Garden --- Chapter 302 --- The Tiny World was in chaos. There are too many changes that happened in a very short time. And Oceana couldn''t handle them all despite being the living will of Tiny World. She was hopeless and powerless. Huo Yuhao watched continents and inds appear one after another, filling the oceanic world with wonders. The descendants of D and Celestial Dragons are still fighting, but it was less intense than before.They were busy developing their forces, especially the Celestial Dragons, as they built twenty kingdoms. On the other hand, the descendant of D also built a kingdom with the help of hideous creatures. It was just one kingdom but much stronger than the twenty kingdoms. Huo Yuhao didn''t expect the descendant of D to be this friendly with the hideous creatures as if they had a connection with them. Interesting, very interesting. Kacha~! Suddenly, the massive dark swirls in the sky turned into crimson cracks. Oceana frowned upon seeing this, "They areing." "They?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. "They have no name, but I called them the Wardens," Ocean answered coldly. "And they are the ones who sent those creatures, Ancestors of D and Ancestors of Celestial Dragon, down to the Tiny World." "Their strength is unfathomable." "But something about their goal is weird to me." "What do you mean?" Huo Yuhao bes even more curious. Oceana put on a bitter smile, "Just watch." The crack expanded, and three figures descended. They are d in dark fabric and possess an immortal-like aura. It was weird to describe their aura with the immortal-like word, but something about these figures contains the quality of the higher dimensional ne. The dark-d figures have varied body shapes. The first one is tall and thin. The second is muscr yet short. Thest is feminine yet mysterious. The three figures exploded with terrifying might, causing the world to lose its color. "This is..." Huo Yuhao was surprised. "Haki!" Each dark-d figure sted the world with their Conqueror''s Haki. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Storms swept the Tiny Worlds, dragging every creature gathered beneath the three dark-d figures. Huo Yuhao was momentarily fascinated because this force-like ability is beyond ordinary Conqueror''s Haki! "They are talking gibberish." Huo Yuhao squinted his blue eyes as he couldn''t understand what these dark-d figures were saying. He asked Evo to scan thenguage these dark-d figures used, and the system told Yuhao it was on it already. Timpse happened. The descendants of D and Celestial Dragons were in truce while the dark-d figures were observing them. Each day is suffocating because they don''t know what the dark-d figures are trying to do. These wardens are unsympathetic. That''s until one day, a fruites into existence. Yes, Devil Fruit! The wardens are happy and immediately bring the Devil Fruit for themselves before disappearing into the crimson crack. Well, at least one of them has returned to the crack, leaving the other two behind. [I have scanned thenguage. It was Divine Tongue of Ostera Race] [Ostera Race is like High Humans, but their genes are unstable, causing them to mutate with different traits usually] [They are from the Myriad Heaven Realm, Host] [That''s the half-step 7th Dimensional Order Rank mainly focused on Cultivation into Immortality] [I also scanned their ability earlier and made some connections] [Haki, you know and mastered, actually originated from Ostera Race] [Of course, it has a different name] [They called it "Divine Might!"] Huo Yuhao was stunned. He didn''t expect his guess about the connection between Tiny World and the upper realm to be true. If his guest is urate, then the wardens'' goal is clear. ''Evo, their goal is probably that, right?'' [Yes, they are using the Tiny World as their garden to grow Concept Fruits] Damn it, Evo. I was joking. Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in disbelief. ROAR! BOOM! Huo Yuhao looked down and saw a fierce battle between the twenty kingdoms of Celestial Dragon and the Great Kingdom of D. The wardens seemed to encourage them to do it. The tall and thin warden backed the Celestial Dragon. And the feminine and mysterious warden backed the D. It was a fierce war, but no real winner came out. Both sides are just waiting for mutual destruction at this point. That''s until the feminine and mysterious warden taught the D to use a weakened version of Divine Might, Haki. It angered the tall and thin warden. He wanted to do the same with the Celestial Dragon''s descendants, but they couldn''t learn Haki due to hereditary reasons. Of course, that would change in the future. The tall and thin warden nurtured the Celestial Dragons, modifying their genes and granting them a chance to win. The feminine and mysterious warden also didn''t just watch. The female warden taught the Great Kingdom about ancient technology, which was her expertise. Hundreds of yearster. The constant war between D and Celestial Dragons broke out. The tall and thin warden did a dirty trick. He cast the descendant of D with a horrifying curse. Huo Yuhao didn''t know what the curse was, but the descendant of D seemed to be in pain. Weirdly, the female warden doesn''t seem to care about her subordinates'' suffering. She silently observed and hovered in the sky aloofly. The descendants of D were ''naturally'' suppressed by the Celestial Dragons. Yet fate works wonderfully when a genius is born in the Great Kingdom. He wasn''t the descendant of D nor the hideous creature. He was the first pure human in the Tiny World. Pure, as in having bnced genes. The genius created many inventions, allowing the Great Kingdom to stand on an even field with the twenty kingdoms. It didn''tst long, though. Awoooo~! A sound broke the sea, parting it into two parts. The wardens look surprised, watching mermaids appear on the surface. They look shocked. "Fishmen and Merfolk are my children." Oceana suddenly stated. "I used the tainted flesh of hideous creatures and grew lives with it. After years of evolution, they be Fishmen." "Unfortunately, they are weaker than the wardens. It is just the first encounter and testing." With the appearance of Fishmen, the wardens seemed to hasten their steps. They began to force the Great Kingdom and twenty kingdoms to wage war against each other. And the second Devil Fruit appeared. The male warden is happy. But the female warden fought over him, snatching the Devil Fruit. Sun dawned over them, creating cracks all over the area. They injured each other heavily. Eventually, the Devil Fruit fell into the hands of young Baneers. Baneers is the descendant of Giant and Pure Human. Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, "This guy." "Joyboy," Oceana answered longingly. "The First Pirate." "Who is also known as the Warrior of Liberation and Sun God Nika." Everyone watched Joyboy eat the Devil Fruit and put the wardens in a difficult spot. They are angry but can''t do anything about the young Baneers. Contrary to Huo Yuhao''s guess, the Joyboy didn''t get any power as soon as he ate the Devil Fruit. Joyboy sailed to the sea, unaware of the wardens'' scheme. He befriended the Fishmen under the influence of Oceana, making a long promise about something. Oceana didn''t show it to Huo Yuhao. Well, Huo Yuhao didn''t care much. As Joyboy roamed around the Tiny World, he finally reached adulthood and decided to return to his homnd. Unfortunately, the wardens have schemed behind Joyboy''s back and enved people from the Great Kingdom into serving the twenty kingdoms. Huo Yuhao didn''t understand why the wardens did not kill Joyboy directly. They have the power. Wait, there might be a restriction. The wardens couldn''t act recklessly in the Tiny World. Watching his folks suffer, Joyboyughed. It was theugh of misery. For the first time, Joyboy lost his joy, KABOOOOM! Joyboy''s body released an extreme aura. His body bes rubber-like, stretching and moving jiggly. He grabbed a handful of rocks and sand, turning them into a sword and spear. Boing~! Boing! Joyboy jumped behind the image of a sun and attacked the Celestial Dragons. Heughed at them all, dominating the battlefield. Moreover, the wardens look fascinated and happy. They seem surprised by Joyboy''s power, which gives them a bright idea. That day, the wardens changed their approach and formted the n to feed ''nk'' Devil Fruits to the descendants of D and Celestial Dragons before harvesting them. "The lost history... The final war is about to begin." Oceana said softly. Chapter 306: The Lost History, End of Great War Chapter 306: The Lost History, End of Great War --- Chapter 303 --- Joyboy freed the ves. At the same time, he also gained hatred from the twenty kingdoms that are Celestial Dragon''s descendants. The wardens, however, don''t care much about their conflicts. They are all-powerful and don''t need to lower themselves to the prisoner''s level. Another timpse urred, and the Great Kingdom progressed its technology beyond that of twenty kingdoms. The Great Kingdom sent some of their best researchers to another ce, which Huo Yuhao found familiar because it was a grand city revolving around technology using the natural movement of water.The twenty kingdoms didn''t want tog behind and stole some of the Great Kingdom''s technology, wanting to create a monster of their own. Unfortunately, they cannot steal creativity. As the hideous creatures merge with the world, Devil Fruits appear one after another in the Tiny World. Joyboy searches for these Devil Fruits and feeds them to his folks, which causes them to grow stronger. They are his allies now. With that, Joyboy is known for being the first pirate because of this. Surprisingly, the wardens didn''t stop Joyboy. They let Joyboy stew the Devil Fruits and let the fruit''s power soak up with his allies'' characteristics, whether they possessed animalistic traits, superpowers, or elemental abilities. Huo Yuhao noticed how happy the wardens were every time Joyboy''s ally awakened their power, seemingly producing concepts of the universe. Watching Joyboy ride a gigantic elephant on the sea, Huo Yuhao could not help but smile because this fellow is free-spirited. But this is not enough to deter the wardens. They are still looking down on Joyboy and others like they are nothing. The twenty kingdoms also frantically searched for Devil Fruits and grew their forces to match Joyboy. However, it wasn''t that easy. Being the first native to eat the ''nk'' Devil Fruit allows Joyboy to have a better experience, and that experience trantes to his allies'' rapid growth in developing their powers. Frightened by Joyboy''s rise to power. The twenty kingdoms enved more races and experimented on them, creating so many cruel and hideous inventions known to man. They didn''t care if it was immoral as long as they could overpower the Great Kingdom. Another hundred yearster. There are thousands of Devil Fruit Users in the Tiny World. Their presence trained the Tiny World''s origin, forcing Oceana to put a curse on their physiques. And from that moment, they couldn''t swim in the ocean anymore. "Devil Fruits are akin to poison for me." Ocean suddenly said. "They corroded the essence of Tiny World, weakening it day by day." "Although the hideous creatures have mostly disappeared and evolved into tamer species, they are still damaging the sea." "As the Devil Fruit Users grew stronger, the stronger restrictions put on their bodies by the Tiny World. It was natural order because the Devil Fruits don''t originate from the Tiny World from the beginning." "The wardens abused this fact and harvested the lives of Devil Fruit Users for their gain." "I don''t know what they are doing with it, but they always choose the best Devil Fruit Users..." "Unfortunately, they targeted Joyboy." KABOOOOOOOM!! Joyboy faced the wardens on the deserted ind and used his rubbery body to his advantage. He also contends with Haki, which shocks both wardens because Joyboy somehow canbine three Haki into weakened Divine Might. No matter how much the wardens try, they can''t kill Joyboy and steal his Devil Fruit. Realizing their mistakes of letting their product grow too strong, the wardens retreated and left the battered Joyboy alone on the deserted ind. Joyboy stood still on the ground, and his entire body was bloody. But a smile is still stered on his face. "Once in a million talent." Huo Yuhao praised Joyboy. "But aren''t the wardens too weak?" [Those wardens are the lowest of the lowest in the Ostera Race, Host] [After all, they are only in charge of Concept Fruits. They are nothing but mere farmers who tend the garden.] [There are more high-ranked Ostera Race members in the Myriad Heaven Realm] [Not to mention, the Tiny World''s natural order also prevented them from using their full strength. Although Joyboy also has simr restrictions, he is less pressured due to being born and grow in the Tiny World] [Even then, a rare talent like Joyboy is also vulnerable to the passage of time] [At the end of the day, he was just a product of a low-leveled realm] Although Evo''s statement is cold, Huo Yuhao agrees with it. Joyboy is strong, but he''s not heaven-breaking strong. Huo Yuhao observed the wardens returning to the twenty kingdoms, helping them to seize the upper hand against the Great Kingdom. Once again, they indirectly waged a war against Joyboy and his allies. The twenty kingdoms are joyous, though. With the help of the wardens, the twenty kingdoms'' technology rapidly advanced an ancient weapon called Uranus. They attacked the Great Kingdom with it as soon as the Uranus finished, catching Joyboy off guard. Dark clouds surrounded the Great Kingdom, making the situation bleak. Joyboy hurriedly returned to the Great Kingdom, but it was toote. Huo Yuhao looked up, seeing a massive pair of golden-white wings with an eye in the middle. It floated eerily in the sky and released a power that changed the weather. "So, that''s Uranus, huh?" Huo Yuhao scanned the technology. "The Ancient Weapon with the Name of Roman God." "It was a dangerous weapon..." Oceana mumbled solemnly. "But the Celestial Dragons could only use it a few times. They paid a huge price even to activate it for the time." SHIIING! A smite from heaven descends to the Great Kingdom. The golden beam raced down. Everyone thought it would be over for the Great Kingdom, but that''s not it. BOOOOOM!! A ck behemoth appeared from the depths of the Great Kingdom. It was a massive warship d in the replicated power of Divine Might that the wardens used for the first time when they arrived at the Tiny World. The warship unleashed a jet-ck aura and shed with the golden beam, creating a fracture in the air. Kacha! The fabric of space cracked. Everyone was shocked. The Celestial Dragons couldn''t believe their eyes. The wardens have the expression like they are questioning reality. Huo Yuhao scanned the warship and mumbled, "Impressive. It was no less powerful than the Uranus." "Pluton. Developed in the Water Seven as a fail-safe protection of Great Kingdom, in case Joyboy iste to return." Oceana introduced the warship to Huo Yuhao. "They have expected the Celestial Dragons to y dirty alongside the wardens." She sighed and added, "Unfortunately, Pluton is just a half-finished product." The Celestial Dragons gnashed their teeth. They are determined to destroy the Great Kingdom today and would pay any price. The Uranus lit up, charging energy again. Even though the Pluton looks okay, the previous sh has caused massive damage to the warship''s body. WOOSH! WOOSH! Suddenly, a massive whirlpool emerged near the Great Kingdom, and several Seakings appeared, led by a beautiful pink-haired mermaid princess. Oceana looked at the mermaid with a fond gaze, "Poseidon. My finest creation." "She''s here to fulfill her part of the promise with Joyboy." BOOM! The Seakings'' massive bodies revolved around the Great Kingdom, creating water curtains. They roared at the sky, firing jet-like water beams. Many Devil Fruit Users from the Celestial Dragon''s side tried to protect Uranus''s attacking path, but it was futile. Seeking united attacks is akin to a nemesis for Devil Fruit Users. With that, a final war has begun. Since Uranus couldn''t attack the Great Kingdom directly, it would attack Pluton and Poseidon. ''Hey, Evo... Is it just me, or was this scenario simr to the fight between Qian Renxue and Tang San 10,000 years ago? The Angel God, ruler of the sky, fought against the Sea God, monarch of the sea.'' Huo Yuhao asked his system. [It''s probably just a coincidence, Host] ''Coincidence? I think not!'' Huo Yuhao snorted. There must be a connection, even if it is indirect. ROAR! BOOM! KACHA! The final war was brutal. In the hands of Celestial Dragons, Uranus is tearing apart many Sea Kings. Poseidon could repel Uranus''s attack, but some strays escaped the Sea Kings'' protection and destroyed a significant portion of the Great Kingdom. Bloodshed happened, turning the ocean red. Pluton charged an attack and prepared to fire the dark energy aura at the Uranus. SWOOOSH! A ck-aura beam escaped Pluton''s main cannon, charging at the Uranus at a breakneck speed. BOOOOOOOM!! Everyone on the Great Kingdom''s side thought they had won. Yet the story always had its plot twist. A barrier appeared and protected Uranus from getting hit. Gasps escaped everyone''s mouth. The female warden actually protected the Uranus! The warden actually joined the battle between the two forces for the first time. Then, the loud sound of a drum echoed on the battlefield. Dum~! Dum~! Dum~! Everyone looked at the far east and saw a giant elephant carrying a man. Yes, a man who brought smiles to the Great Kingdom''s people. Laughter followed the drums, and a figure jumped from the giant elephant, joining the war. He fought with ease and brought joy to the gloomy world. The Sun God Nika has descended to the battlefield! ROAR! Three powerful Devil Fruit Users from the twenty kingdom''s side also descended to the battlefield. They also possessed the image of Gods. They are the Rain God, Forest God, and Earth God. Yet Joyboy didn''t care. He fought them all with his power. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Ind destroyed one after another. Heavy rain poured all over the area. Several thick vines broke the barrier of the deep sea. This final war changed thendscape of everything. Many people died, including the Devil Fruit Users, causing the Devil Fruits to spread all over the Tiny World. Huo Yuhao watched them all from above, enjoying this little show as it reminded his fight against the decently strong lineup of Draconic Deus, the Cursed God, and his wives. Atst, the twenty kingdoms won. Joyboy and the Great Kingdom are ''naturally'' overwhelmed, especially by the interference of the wardens. Even then, Joyboy struck fear in Celestial Dragon''s heart. After the Great Kingdom''s destruction, Joyboy dragged his battered body andunched Pluton using his rubber-like body as a sling to prevent the Celestial Dragon from taking it. Pluton ended up on the other side of the world, Wano, where Joyboy had his allies preparing everything to hide it. He also stayed behind until the mermaid princess, the wielder of Poseidon, left the battlefield. All that is left is Joyboy and his smile. Even in the face of death, he never stopped smiling. Without it, the world won''t be sunny anymore. The twenty kingdoms dered their victory and destroyed everything rted to the Great Kingdom and Joyboy, sealing all the information as taboo. They feared another great enemy like Joyboy to born. Huo Yuhao shook his head, "The war has ended." "Yes," Oceana replied bitterly. "What do you think, Esteemed True God?" Huo Yuhao smiled, "It wasn''t bad." He nced at the wardens and saw their curt expression. The female warden talked to the male warden before returning to the crimson crack and disappearing forever alongside it. As for the male warden, he stayed behind and hid within the World Government, the alliance of twenty kingdoms. His presence is like a reminder to the world. A hidden danger that everyone must eliminate. Huo Yuhao stared at the crimson crack and thought of something. "So, what do you need from me, Oceana?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile on his handsome face. Oceana bowed to Huo Yuhao, "Please save me." "No, please save the Tiny World." [Ding! You have triggered an exclusive quest] [The Preservation of the Tiny World] Chapter 307: Wrong Timeline, Shimotsuki Village Chapter 307: Wrong Timeline, Shimotsuki Vige (AN: An Extra Upload Again~!) --- Chapter 304 --- East Blue, Shimotsuki Vige. nk! A heavy hammer hitting a metal in a dimly lit room. The crisp sound reverberated. Two shadows were ''faintly'' cast by the flicker of a vibrant orange me in the burning forge. "Come on, Old Man. You can do better than this!" Shouted a blue-haired young man, who wore nothing but his tattered brown pants."Shut up. You have noment on my creation, brat!" Replied an elderly with arge, thick unibrow that jutted to the sides of his face. The elder is sweating like no tomorrow, having a cksmith hammer in his hand. He furiously hammered the hot iron due to the young man''sment, shaping it into the finest sword known to man. Crack! Unfortunately, as the elder hit the hot iron, it cracked under the pressure and turned into a worthless product. "Gosh, Damn it!" The elder mmed his hammer down angrily. "Brat, you jinx it!" The blue-haired young man is none other than Huo Yuhao. After witnessing the lost history of Tiny World, Huo Yuhao got sent to the supposed ''right'' timeline. Yet here he was, teleported to a timeline roughly a decade away before the story started. Huo Yuhao was annoyed but could do nothing about it. ording to Evo, the space and time continuum fabrics in the Tiny World are messed up because of the Ostera Race''s sealing technique. The seal couldn''t trap Huo Yuhao''s movement in the Tiny World, but it would be mildly inconvenient for him to walk around. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao is also fetching the girls on the way to the ''correct'' timeline. Yes, the girls also get sent to the wrong timelines. The side effects of his overwhelming luck are showing much faster than Huo Yuhao thought. Huo Yuhao nced at the unibrow elder, "Old Man, I have been here for a few days, but you have to prove to me that you can make decent swords." "Hmph, you''re all talk." "Tsk." The unibrowed elder clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. The Old Man Huo Yuhao called is Shimotsuki Kozaburo. Shimotsuki Kozaburo is a famous swordsmith from the Land of Wano, and he secretly gets out of his homnd and roams around the world before settling in this small vige. He has a son and a granddaughter connected to one of One Piece''s main casts, Roronoa Zoro. He''s the maker of Wado Ichimonji. One of 21 Great Grade des wielded by Zoro until this very moment, well future, to be exact. Honestly, Huo Yuhao met Kozaburo by ident. Three days ago. Kozaburo is fishing on the coasts near the Shimotsuki Vige. He''s reeling in quite a catch when a blue sh crashed on the sea and snapped his fishing line. "Who the fuck?!" Kozaburo couldn''t believe his eyes. A blue-haired young man appeared out of nowhere. He was d in a white coat, making him look dashing, especially with that otherworldly handsome face. "Where am I?" Huo Yuhao looked around in confusion. ''Damn. I won''t let this brat get close to my granddaughter.'' Kozaburo believed Huo Yuhao''s appearance was a test to make his old heart restless. Huo Yuhao and Kozaburo stared at each other. As they were both cksmiths, they could tell each other aura. Huo Yuhao was amused. Meanwhile, Kozaburo was shocked because he felt oppressed by another swordsmith for the first time. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao looks young! It was aical encounter, for sure. Close is not the right word to describe Huo Yuhao and Kozaburo''s affinity, but they can understand each other. With that, the burning rivalry in Kozaburo''s old heart sparked, and he has been challenging Huo Yuhao ever since. "Another failure, huh?" Said someone who entered the small workshop. "Father, you should stop challenging Young Master Huo." "Your health is declining as time passes." It was a man with ck hair tied back in a long ponytail and wore sses with circr frames. He wears a gray yukata with two crossed swords on the left breast. He''s Kozaburo''s son, Shimotsuki Koushirou. "Shut it! I won''t die before I make a Supreme Grade de and win against this brat!" Kozaburo roared at hisnky son. Koushiro gazed at Huo Yuhao helplessly, and thetter only smiled as he didn''t mind Kozaburo''s words. Huo Yuhao nced behind Koushiro and spotted a young girl peeking from his gray yukata. The young girl had short, dark blue hair andrge, dark eyes. She wore a light pink short-sleeved shirt with a three-buttoned cket that she left unbuttoned, dark maroon shorts, and brown shoes. She''s Kozaburo''s granddaughter, Kuina. In the canon, Kuina died at 11 from falling off the staircase. Huo Yuhao always thought it was such a bullshit way to die. But he wouldn''t judge the logic because many people die in a simr case in the slippery bathroom. Kuina shyly stared at Huo Yuhao and greeted, "M-Morning." Huo Yuhao smiled at her, "Morning, Kuina-chan." "Mm." Kuina hid behind Koushiro again. Kuzaburo''s mouth twitched, "GET AWAY FROM MY GRANDDAUGHTER, YOU BRAT!" "Okay, okay, chill." Huo Yuhao went to the coat hanger to grab his white coat and left the small workshop. Koushiro shook his head wryly, "You should treat your rival better, Father." "You said it yourself. Young Master Huo was a better swordsmith than yourself." "Hmph, I don''t mean it." Kozaburo snorted. "Kuina, remember. Don''t get closer to that brat. He''s a bad guy." He added while looking at his dear and adorable granddaughter. "Why?" Kuina only tilted her head in confusion, though. She only thought of Huo Yuhao as a handsome big brother she had a crush on. It was ''normal'' for a kid her age to have a crush, especially when Huo Yuhao was indeed too handsome. Yes, even the older sisters and aunties in the Shimotsuki Vige, like Huo Yuhao. "Just don''t get closer to him, okay..." Kozaburo said solemnly. "Hmm, okay." Even though Kuina replied to Kozaburo like that, she didn''t mean it. They are rted. Unknown to the Shimotsukis, Huo Yuhao could listen to their conversation miles away. "That damned Old Man. Does he think I''m a Lolicon?" Huo Yuhao cursed while kicking a rock on the side of the road. "I''m only interested in legal women, and 99% of them are Milf!" An Infinite Dragon God is sneezing back at the Douluo Dalu World. Huo Yuhao sighed and stared at the distance. After staying in the Shimotsuki Vige for a few days, he still couldn''t find a clue where the girl he brought into this world was. He used Divine Sense many times, but the result was null. He even ordered Evo to do deep scanning on the Tiny World, but the result was an error due to the faulty space and time. He could only search for them manually. However, One Piece is a big world, which is ironic because it was a Tiny World. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "What should I do..." "I don''t want to do things too extreme, or else I would cause divergence in the timeline, causing a butterfly effect for my past self." "Should I be a pirate, too? That doesn''t guarantee me finding them." "There is no other choice..." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and activated the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao. He used the Heavenly Dao of Destiny to see the invisible lines of fate, using them to find people connected to him. Some lines traced back to the Shimotsukis in the small workshop, which Huo Yuhao didn''t find surprising. "As expected..." Huo Yuhao''s eyelids twitched slightly as the lines in the air were too messy. "This world is on the verge of splitting apart." He focused on the far ocean and stopped after hundreds of miles as a blue-haired youngdy in a tight battle suit entered his vision. She is sting the sea with her golden spear. "Found you." Huo Yuhao was about to teleport there when a green-haired kid jumped out of bushes and aimed a Shinai(bamboo sword) at him. "Hey, you! I challenge you to a duel!" The green-haired kid shouted. Huo Yuhao dumbly stared at the kid and thought, ''I have been hiding from you for thest few days. Why did you randomly appear here like those hidden trainers in Pokemon?'' ''Damn it, Zoro. Your sense of direction works as worse as the Anime depicted!'' Yes, this green-haired kid is the young Roronoa Zoro. Chapter 308: Radiant Epochs Effect and Phantom Chapter 308: Radiant Epoch''s Effect and Phantom --- Chapter 305 --- Huo Yuhao was annoyed. He had learned from the mistakes he critically made at the Draconic Deus when changing the world''s history. Although the effect wasn''t that bad, it could lead to disasters. And Huo Yuhao doesn''t want to repeat the same mistake. Facing the young Zoro, Huo Yuhao could only sigh in his heart. This guy always appears randomly. His sense of direction is the worst. Huo Yuhao facepalmed, "Challenge me?""Why, though?" Zoro raised his nose and said arrogantly, "I heard from Kuina that you''re a skilled swordsman! But I know you''re just a fraud. That''s why I want to challenge you here and now!" Kid, you''re literally challenging a God. I don''t know if I should praise your ignorance or not. Huo Yuhao''s eyelid twitches, "Listen up, Kid. I don''t have time for your little y." "Now get out of my sight, or you won''t see the sun tomorrow." Even though Huo Yuhao said those words, he didn''t mean it. Yet Zoro being Zoro. He has endless guts in the face of danger. Zoro tightly gripped his Shinai and pointed it at Huo Yuhao, "Duel with me!" Stubborn little shit. Huo Yuhao wanted to leave immediately, but this fellow would probably chase him from now on. He sighed and grabbed a random tree branch in the bushes, waving it around like a short sword. Zoro was baffled, "You gotta be kidding me? You wanted to use a tree branch on the duel?" "Are you looking down on me? I am a man who will be the Strongest Swordsman in the world!" Huo Yuhao amusingly replied, "If you can''t repel an attack from a mere stick. You don''t deserve to fight me using a real sword." "Make your move, Kid." "Today, I will show you the essence of simplicity." Zoro groaned in annoyance while making a five-meter distance between Huo Yuhao and himself, preparing his Shinai to strike him heavily. He coldlyughed in his heart because Huo Yuhao would suffer at his hands. After all, Zoro knows his own strength. Zoro stared at Huo Yuhao and shouted, "I''ming!" Huo Yuhao interestedly watched Zoro swinging his Shinai, casting a swift shadow over the ground. Zoro thought his performance was perfect, and Huo Yuhao had yet to swing his tree branch. ''This is my win!'' That''s what Zoro thought at the moment. Still, Zoro was bound to fail. Huo Yuhao finally moved, and in Zoro''s vision, he moved very slowly. From Huo Yuhao raising his tree branch to a gentle thrust, everything is very gentle and basic. Yet Zoro couldn''t move his body. He''s swinging his Shinai with all his might, which could break his bnce if he stopped midway. No, Zoro''s bnce is ''already'' broken. Zoro didn''t realize it. Thud! Before he knew it, the tree branch was poking his forehead. Although it was just a tree branch, Zoro felt it had unfathomable power. Huo Yuhao could have added more power to the tree branch, and it would pierce Zoro''s forehead. Cold sweat dripped off Zoro''s back. The sensation of death is not a very pleasing thing to experience. "Too green." Huo Yuhaomented casually. "See ya, Kid." "You''re too weak to make me draw my sword." Yes, that''s true. Huo Yuhao hasn''t truly trusted the tree branch. It was Zoro who lunged straight into it because of his reckless attack. After that, Huo Yuhao vanished from the street and left Zoro alone in that area. Zoro stared at the ordinary tree branch and felt his world about the sword crumble. "Too strong." Zoro picked the tree branch. He turned around to see if Huo Yuhao was still there, but the blue-haired young man had long gone, "He''s too damn strong..." That day, Zoro''s forehead was red all day. ... ... Huo Yuhao whistled while flying in the sky. After fetching the girls, he will erase the memory of him from the people in the Shimotsuki Vige. He doesn''t want to create too many divergences in One Piece''s plots. He kicked the air a few times before arriving at the ind surrounded by pink-colored fog. It was weird. "Where is she?" Huo Yuhao used the Heavenly Dao of Destiny. He spotted a path leading to the ind''s heart, unknowingly venturing into their of a deadly creature. nk! nk! Huo Yuhao heard the sound of the metallic sh. He hurried his steps and arrived near a massive mango tree. He frowned and spotted a familiar-looking youngdy in a tight battle suit, gracefully dancing with her golden spear. Roar! A creature shaped like a silverback ape roared at Huang Qiu''er. Why a creature and not a beast? Well, that''s because this creature''s body consists of unknown material that mimics one''s body. From the look of it, the creature''s body could contend against Golden Dragon Spear. Even then, Huo Yuhao discerned that this beast was alive. It has such a vibrant life force and functioning soul. Huo Yuhao observed Huang Qiu''er and nodded because it didn''t look like she was losing this fight. ''What are they fighting for?'' Huo Yuhao looked around before stopping at the vines of the massive mango tree. One particr mango stands out of the rest, having weird shapes and swirls. The mango''s color is also gold, with a slight red ent. "Evo." [On it, Host] [This is...] [It''s a nk Concept Fruit] "nk Concept Fruit? How is that even possible..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. ording to Huo Yuhao''s shallow knowledge, the nk Concept Fruit was the ''true'' condensation of Tiny World''s essence. It only appeared when hideous creatures corrupted the Tiny World, eroding the realm''s natural order. nk Concept Fruits could only grow in the Void Century. Back when the Great Kingdom and Twenty Kingdoms are still fighting against each other under the control of the wardens. There shouldn''t be a single nk Concept Fruit in the current era. There are only Devil Fruits. After all, Devil Fruits appeared in the Tiny World after so many Devil Fruit Users were ''brutally'' killed in the Great War. These Devil Fruits absorbed their former eater''s essence, bing a focused Concept Fruit. "Wait, don''t tell me..." "The fault in space and time." "It twisted the Tiny World''s essence in different timelines, causing these nk Concept Fruits to grow in those timelines." "Still, how was this event triggered? Isn''t this too random?" [Your guess is correct, Host] [But this event was actually triggered by two factors...] [And you know them] "What do you mean?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. He didn''t like how Evo sounded. [The appearance of nk Concept Fruit is ''likely'' tied to your arrival at the Tiny World] [Remember, you''re a God from a higher-level worldpared to the Tiny World] [Your mere presence as the God of Fortune changed this world...] [Not to mention, your luck alone is ridiculous. No one shouldn''t have that much luck] [It affected the world around you in an unknown direction] [Radiant Epoch is not an empty title] [Fortunately, the changes don''t seem bad] [You might even have a chance to raise your Concepts to the max] [No, you might even be able to master the Heavenly Dao with enough nk Concept Fruits] [They are priceless treasures!] "Chill, Evo. You sound too excited." Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. [This is your chance, Host] Evo didn''t care. If Huo Yuhao bes more powerful, Evo would have a better chance to enter Tier 2 and above in the Omniversal Order. Yes, that''s the system''s ultimate goal. Huo Yuhao could only shake his head. BOOM! Huang Qiu''er transformed into a humanoid golden dragon girl, charging at the silverback ape with a decisive spear thrust. BAM! She sessfully broke the silverback ape''s defense, killing it. Huang Qiu''er put on a cold look as she pulled her spear, drawing an arc of blue blood. Huo Yuhao pped his hands. "Good job, Qiu''er!" "Master!" Huang Qiu''er was shocked by Huo Yuhao''s appearance. Her once cold expression instantly transformed into endless joy, making her look like an adorable puppy instead of heaven''s proud goddess earlier. Huang Qiu''er walked to Huo Yuhao and giddily said, "I''ve been looking for you for a week." "A week?" Huo Yuhao was surprised. "It seems there is still a gap between our world travels." "Anyway, are you fighting for that mango?" Huang Qiu''er gazed at the golden mango and nodded, "Mm." "I felt something special from the mango and thought of getting it for you..." Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened, "You know, you don''t have to." Huang Qiu''er shook her head, "For me, you''re the one who gave me a chance to defy my fate. A little random fruit is nothing to you what you have done for me." Well, the problem is that the fruit isn''t random. It is a nk Concept Fruit that could allow Huo Yuhao to grasp the secret into a higher tier. "Thanks." Huo Yuhao helplessly sighed and patted Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er purred in delight, "Kyuu~!" But their reunion has to be cut short because of heavy steps approaching them. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "They are here!" Huang Qiu''er alertly raised his Golden Dragon Spear. "They?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head in confusion. Huang Qiu''er pointed at the silverback ape''s corpses and said, "I don''t know what they are, but that silverback is part of dangerous creatures." "In fact, I''ve been fighting them for a week straight." "And each time, they are getting stronger and stronger." "What are they exactly..." Huo Yuhao mumbled. [I just finished scanning the Silverback Ape''s corpse, Host] Evo answered calmly. [They are "Phantom"] [Phantom is the dweller of twisted space and time, harnessing the power of broken timelines. You need to kill Phantom Lord to kill them all, as they live and work like hivemind] "Well... Let''s kill the Phantom Lord, then." Huo Yuhao gazed at the mysterious forest with a smirk on his handsome face. Chapter 309: Pagmas Incarnation Class, 1st Creation Chapter 309: Pagma''s Incarnation ss, 1st Creation --- Chapter 306 --- Huo Yuhao and Huang Qiu''er stood on the spot. Many creatures surrounded them. They are Phantom, who has taken over the shapes of many animals on the ind, from tiger, wolf, snake, and even elephant. Huang Qiu''er tightened her grip on the Golden Dragon Spear because this fight would be annoying. After killing the Silverback Ape, she realized that her weapon wasn''t very effective against these creatures. Their bodies are weird, and Golden Dragon Spear must be stabbed rapidly in the same spot to break their defense. "Master. I have to warn you about something..." Huang Qiu''er suddenly said."What is it?" Huo Yuhao replied, looking for the Phantom Lord so that he could get this over with quickly. Huang Qiu''er stared ahead, "This ind is weird. I tried using my Martial Soul, but something prevented me from using any of my spirit skills." "The only exception is my Blood Soul, which I constantly use right now." "You couldn''t use your spirit skills?" Huo Yuhao nced at her. Huang Qiu''er nodded weakly, "Yes." "It doesn''t feel too good." Huo Yuhao frowned, ''That''s weird. I can use my spirit skills freely with no restrictions whatsoever.'' [Tiny World''s Suppression] Evo answered Huo Yuhao''s confusion. [Right now, the Tiny World is in a state of full alert. It restricted outsiders and weakened them considerably] [You don''t feel any different because your existence is beyond that of Tiny World''s Suppression] [The same rules won''t be applied to Nico Robin, though] [She''s a native, after all] "Thank you for stating the obviousst, Evo." Huo Yuhao snorted. Even then, Huo Yuhao was a bit worried about the girls from the Draconic Deus as they are outsiders and have yet to mature in the Spirit Master''s field. His best guess is they are skilled enough to thrive with pure martial skills and Haki alone. Scathach has taught Valerie well enough, but Rossweisse is different. But as a Valkyrie, Rossweisse should be doing fine. ''How worrying.'' He sighed hopelessly. ''Maybe I should contact Oceana to lift the suppression a little?'' ''No, I can''t. The Tiny World''s spirit is currently in a deep slumber.'' ''Such an annoying world.'' "Master, they are here!" Huang Qiu''er shouted in distress. Huo Yuhao saw a wave of Phantoms surging from the woods, charging them at full speed. His mood was ''already'' ruined. He must vent some of his annoyance. Thankfully, some punching bags arrive and offer themselves straight to Huo Yuhao''s foot. "Evo." "Choose a new Divine-grade ss to master." [What Divine-grade ss would you like to tackle, Host?] "Pagma''s Incarnation." Huo Yuhao''s indifferent voice echoed in the forest, giving Huang Qiu''er a shudder. [Ding! You have chosen Pagma''s Incarnation ss!] Huang Qiu''er stared at Huo Yuhao with a shocked expression because she had never seen him this annoyed, not even when he fought and bullied the Sea God! Huo Yuhao stretched his left arm and said, "Come, Palu." Awoo~! A purple slime-like creature appeared from an azure swirl andnded on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder. It has defining characters besides the chubby cheeks and adorable expressions. However, no one should ever look down on this little creature because it''s the administrator of Huo Yuhao''s treasure vault and his reliable assistance in making artifacts and weapons. Even EAS, Huo Yuhao''s soulbound weapon and currently the ruler of CyberSpace, didn''t dare to fight Palu. The reason is crystal clear. Huo Yuhao didn''t just let the slime-like creature manage Azure Emperor Vault but also gave it the strength to destroy anything he created if deemed dangerous. [Pagma''s Incarnation ss activated] [Please design and create your first weapon''s blueprint] "A dull sword." Huo Yuhao casually replied. The design is simple. The sword is around 70 centimeters long, including the handle and ring-shaped guard. The de is four centimeters wide and 7,77 millimeters thick. Overall, it was a standard sword with a dull edge. [The design epted] [Rating: 69/100 or roughly C-grade] Huo Yuhao cared less about the rating, as he focused more on his ideal weapon to beat things to a pulp. After all, a good inventor won''t stop due to mere scores. [Please choose the material] "Xuanwu''s External Spirit Bone, Abyssal Ogre''s Spine, and 1 unit of pure Aradium." [The materials epted] [Rating: 150/100 or roughly Low-EX] Huo Yuhao got Xuanwu''s External Spirit Bone after killing a 300,000-year-old ck Turtle to test his Techno Archon ss. Abyssal Ogre''s Spine is the best resource he got when opening resource packs a while ago. It has a quality that Huo Yuhao wants on this dull sword. As for Aradium. It was also 5th Dimensional Material, and a pure one could cost a whole gxy. One unit of pure Aradium alone takes Huo Yuhao hours of negotiation to acquire. Fortunately, those mechanical lifeforms are always rational on pricing and payback. Staring at the material''s rating, Huo Yuhao curled his lips. Many people in the 5th Omniversal Order would probably curse Huo Yuhao for wasting precious material on a dull sword, but he didn''t care. [Ding! You have triggered a ss''s sub-quest] [Objective: Create your first weapon] [Reward: One of Pagma''s Incarnation ss''s skills unlocked] [Time Limit: None] [Penalty: None] [The sub-quest is mandatory, so it was automatically epted] [Think of it like a tutorial] "Palu!" Huo Yuhao poked the slime on his shoulder. "It''s time to make a new weapon!" Woowoo~! Purple slime grinned and huffed white vapor like a running train. Neb Thunderfire is burning inside. Huo Yuhao opened his inventory and let Palu eat the precious external spirit bone, a crimson-colored spine, and ck particles that shine under the shadiness of this forest. [Ding! Palu (Toolbox) has used Great Apostle''s Creation(SSS)] Intense heat came from the purple slime, and Huo Yuhao casually walked into the horde of Phantom. Under Huo Yuhao''s guidance, Palu rapidly processed the materials and let mental power control the Toolbox to temper the whole thing. Mental Force is invisible, yet it hammers the materials into the desired shape. The steam lessened, and Palu''s inner body heat lowered gradually. Huo Yuhao is ''nearly'' finished with his part He only needs to add the finishing touch. He bit his thumb and dripped blood into Palu''s body, allowing the slime to bind the forming dull sword to him. Technically speaking, this dull sword is qualified as a Divine Weapon. Also, the dull sword was partly external spirit bones that could grow alongside Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao doubts it would develop spirituality, though. ROAR!! A giant tiger lunged at Huo Yuhao. Pu! Palu spewed the newly made weapon to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao caught the weapon''s handle, staring at the dark de with blue and red veins. [You have created your first weapon] [Rating: 122/100 or Entry-EX] [Please name your first creation] "Hydrogen." Huo Yuhao calmly watched a giant tiger''s teeth a few meters away from himself. [Ding! You have finished the ss''s sub-quest] [You have unlocked Pagma''s Incarnation ss''s sword skill] [Sweep] Huo Yuhao''s eyes shed with mysterious light as his body moved and swung the new sword with 10% of his strength. A ck curtain of water appeared and disappeared in a blink of an eye. BOOOOOOOOOM!! The giant tiger got reduced to nothing. Huo Yuhao pointed the ck sword at the Phantom, "I hope you''re enjoying this beating." "Because you know? I''m pretty annoyed right now." A smile that''s not a smile stered Huo Yuhao''s handsome face. At the same time, a system panel appeared beside Huo Yuhao and showcased Hydrogen''s characteristics. [Name: Hydrogen] [Type: Weapon] [Grade: EX(entry)] [Owner: Huo Yuhao] [1st Power - Dark Water: Every sh aplished by Hydrogen would create waves or curtain, which is 1,000 times heavier than the wielder''s weight] [2nd Power - Abyssal Homing: Every attack aplished by Hydrogen would always hit, targeting the enemy with resentment of Abyssal Ogre that is akin to a deadly curse] [3rd Power - Universal Battery: Every attack that killed an enemy would suck life force and recover durability or strengthen Hydrogen in an overall sense] [Description: A dull sword created with pure intention to beat everything on its path, possessing mystical abilities. This weird weapon isn''t ''actually'' meant to cut or hack. It was pletely'' meant to erase everything from existence with a jet-ck curtain] [A dull sword with frightening powers...] Chapter 310: Eliminating Phantom Lord and Devil Fruits Chapter 310: Eliminating Phantom Lord and Devil Fruits --- Chapter 307 --- Huang Qiu''er stared at the dull sword in Huo Yuhao''s hand. It appeared and felt like an ordinary weapon, but she sensed an inherent fear inside her heart from it. The sword is not even long. It''s only 70 centimeters. The de is dull and jet ck, with faint blue and red lines all over the body. Yet Huang Qiu''er couldn''t erase this sensation of dread. "Master!" Watching the giant tiger about to maw Huo Yuhao down, Huang Qiu''er instinctively shouted. Huang Qiu''er knew Huo Yuhao was many times stronger than herself and always forgot when seeing him in a situation like this. Huo Yuhao swung.No, he sweeps his dull sword, to be exact. A dark-colored water curtain appeared and seemingly devoured the giant tiger into nothingness. BOOOOMM! The giant tiger is gone, reduced to atoms. Not even bones were left. Huang Qiu''er blinked in disbelief, "What..." "What just happened?" Huo Yuhao pointed the dull sword at the iing Phantom and vanished with several afterimages. They couldn''t even scream before getting their bodies swept into nothingness by a ck curtain. Slowly but surely, Hydrogen killed them all and absorbed their unrefined energy into something, not Spirit Energy. It was an energy called Primeval Aura from the Aradium. Huo Yuhao sweeps every Phantom that lunges toward them. His moves are steady and light, which makes the Phantom look like they are sending themselves to their inevitable death. Huang Qiu''er thought it was an illusion. As Huang Qiu''er had never seen Huo Yuhao wield weapons, she didn''t know the depth of his mastery. The sword is not even his ''main'' weapon. Huo Yuhao preferred Halberd more than any weapon. Bow stands in second ce, followed by knife and dagger in third, every other polearm in fourth, and swordstly. Even then, Huo Yuhao''s swordsmanship is fluid! Huang Qiu''er couldn''t describe how deep Huo Yuhao''s swordsmanship was. But one thing that was clear for Huang Qiu''er is that her master wouldn''t lose to any swordsman. ''Have you done my order, Evo?'' [Yes, Host] [I''ve scanned the ind. There are no other living beings on it besides you, Huang Qiu''er, and Phantoms] [Though, I suppose, I discovered some Devil Fruits in a few areas] ''How many?'' [Four, three is Zoans, and one is Logia-type] [I will give you the coordinates] "Okay." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes faintly, receiving knowledge about the Devil Fruits. Devil Fruits are inferior to ordinary Concept Fruits, more so nk Concept Fruits, but Huo Yuhao would still collect them. Huo Yuhao could refine the impurity with Upgrade Tickets and get more Concept Fruits. "Qiu''er, I have a small task for you." Huo Yuhao nced at Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er raised her spear and replied, "I will do it!" Huo Yuhao smiled, "Calm down. The task is easy." "All you need to do is collect some fruits." Huang Qiu''er nodded and listened to Huo Yuhao''s instruction to visit some areas while dealing with the Phantoms. Huo Yuhao charged Hydrogen and used up some Divine Aura, causing static electricity in the area. "Go!" Huo Yuhao created another water curtain and sent it to Phantom with 100% uracy, hitting them with a ck wave of destruction. A clear path was ''sessfully'' opened. Huang Qiu''er bolted away with dark electricity, disappearing from Huo Yuhao''s sight. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Her Armament Haki isn''t bad at all." "I already found the Phantom Lord anyway." "Well, let''s y around for a bit more..." As Huang Qiu''er wandered around the ind, she received images from Huo Yuhao''s eyes'' prowess. She hurriedly collected the Devil Fruits. The first fruit is a dark green kiwi with me-like patterns. The second fruit is a yellow pineapple with scale-like patterns. The third fruit is a blue rambutan with curly yet smooth hair. Andstly. "Oh, no." Huang Qiu''er stopped her track. She faced a towering loquat tree and a lone fruit hanging on one of the branches, but what made her say ''Oh, no.'' wasn''t that. A strong Phantom is guarding the fruit. It was a giant bat with sharp ws and gleaming red eyes. Usually, Huang Qiu''er wouldn''t have a problem sting this kind of enemy, but shecked Spirit Skills. And that ounts for half of her strength. "Think, Qiu''er. Think!" The beautiful youngdy gritted her teeth. Blood seeped out from her luscious lips. Huang Qiu''er hasn''t transformed into a human for long. She has yet to familiarize herself with human bodily functions. Fortunately, she has a good teacher. Huang Yuna might not be as technical and brutal as Scathach, but her extensive knowledge is invaluable. Under her tutge, Huang Qiu''er has learned the Universal Breathing Technique, carved Spirit Circuits, and even reached the fifth level of mastery. But that''s not enough. She needs more strength. More force. Ding! A faint golden luster came from the Golden Dragon Spear, causing Huang Qiu''er''s eyes to shine dimly. ''Ah, I''m so dumb.'' Huang Qiu''er thought. In the siege of Phantoms, Huo Yuhao chuckled, "That''s it." "I know you''re smart, Qiu''er." At that moment, Huo Yuhao danced amidst the ck curtain and killed everything in his sight. Huang Qiu''er spews some of her dragon''s blood into the Golden Dragon Spear and watches the spear absorb the blood''s life force, bing more powerful. The world might suppress Huang Qiu''er but can''t suppress the Golden Dragon Spear made with the Dragon God''s rib bone. Like Huo Yuhao''s case, the difference between their dimensionality is massive. Huang Qiu''er ignited her blood essence and entered a throwing position while aiming the Golden Dragon Spear at the giant bat. Her eyes be draconic with a slit and fiercely burned with fiery confidence. "Golden Dragon''s Roaring Spear!" As Huang Qiu''er roared at the giant bat, she threw the Golden Dragon Spear like a javelin. KIIEEEK! BOOOM! The giant bat was stunned by the roar and then finished by the Golden Dragon Spear. Everything happened so fast, and the creature obtained a bloody hole in its chest. At the same time, the Golden Spear also struck the towering loquat tree and caused many giant loquats to fall. From many yellow loquats, Huang Qiu''er spotted one that was different. "A white loquat with ck swirly patterns." "This is the fruit Master wants!" Huang Qiu''er kicked the soil with enough strength to crack the ground open and grabbed the loquat mid-air, retrieving her Golden Dragon Spear from the tree. "Master, I got it!" Her voice rang on the ind. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Good job." "It''s time to end this farce." "I have enough satisfaction from beating these fleas." "Am I right, little turtle?" Huo Yuhao tapped his foot on the ground. The ind violently shook, and a massive turtle''s head appeared before Huo Yuhao, twisting and rolling viciously. It looks like an alligator snapping turtle, justically than usual. Yes, the ind is the Phantom Lord. [That is the Phantom Lord, Host] Huo Yuhao wielded Hydrogen and smirked, "Attack!" "Or you won''t have more chances to attack!" ROAR!! The alligator snapping turtle roared at Huo Yuhao, using the power of twisted timelines to shoot high-powered. SWOOOOOOSH! Watching the iing beam, Huo Yuhao rested his body and gently swung Hydrogen. [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves - Zero Rule: Golden Spin] The dark water curtain was shot by Hydrogen, spinning into endless waves and spreading all over the ind-sized turtle. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! [Ding! You have killed Phantom Lord] The ind disappeared, and all the left were Huo Yuhao, who embraced Huang Qiu''er from falling into the ocean. Huo Yuhao stretched his neck around slightly, "That was quite an exercise." "But I''mgging on the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves, huh?" "I haven''t improved at all..." "Anyway, Qiu''er, where are the fruits?" Huang Qiu''er tapped her spatial ring, "Here they are, Master." Huo Yuhao told Evo to scan the Devil Fruits and had his eyes widened slightly. [Bird Bird Fruit, Model: Garuda] [Fish Fish Fruit, Model: Golden Carp] [Monkey Monkey Fruit, Model: Red Macaque] [Crystal Crystal Fruit] Chapter 311: Kozaburos Determination Chapter 311: Kozaburo''s Determination (AN: Guess what? Today isn''t my birthday, but it''s an extra chapter day!) --- Chapter 308 --- Huo Yuhao and Huang Qiu''er floated above the sea. They are staring at the space that used to be where the misty ind stayed. [You have fixed the twisted space and time, Host] Evo reported to Huo Yuhao. [There shouldn''t be more problems in this timeline] "But to make sure, I must stay for a few more days, right?" [You know already?] For once, Evo sounds surprised.Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "My experience in the Everlith Universe and Draconic Deus taught me many things. One action led to another, and eventually, everything went to shit..." [That''s harsh] [But that is a proper way of thinking about the situation] Huo Yuhao chuckled, "It seems you have gained more sentience since I ascended Godhood." [The system always sentience to serve the Host better, but the system preferred to say less] [As the Host bes more powerful, the system also would be obsolete until you don''t need it anymore] "Don''t worry. I will keep my promise and climb with you to the highest grade of Omniversal Order." [Thank you, Host] "I should be the one who said that..." "Thank you, Evo." Yes, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t be the man he is now without Evo. After discussing the Tiny World''s timelines, Huo Yuhao nced at Huang Qiu''er and saw her blushing like a ripe tomato. She probably didn''t hear or see him talking to air. He rubbed her head gently, "Good job." "You don''t let me down." "One of the Devil Fruits is yours." "You''re giving me the fruit?" Huang Qiu''er was confused. Of course, Huang Qiu''er has learned about One Piece World through Nico Robin, but she couldn''t think of anything special about Devil Fruits besides their magical power. Simply put, Huang Qiu''er wasn''t attracted to Devil Fruit. Huo Yuhao stored three Devil Fruits and picked up the yellow pineapple with a scale-like pattern, "This fruit is Devil Fruit called Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Golden Carp." "Don''t look down on it." "Have you ever heard about a legend about a weak carp that swims up a waterfall into the Dragon Gate and bes a Dragon?" "This fruit is the very concept of that event." "If you ate this fruit, you could learn the concept and even be a Divine Dragon beyond your current limitation." Huang Qiu''er was interested, "T-That''s amazing..." Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Of course, it''s amazing." "Unfortunately, I can''t let you this fruit yet." "Eh, why?" Huang Qiu''er was shocked and disappointed. "I can''t let you eat this fruit because it is dirty." Huo Yuhao assured her. "Not to mention this Zoan-type Devil Fruit is only the normal one, not even Ancient or Mythical Zoan." "I-I see..." Huang Qiu''er sighed in relief. She thought Huo Yuhao took the reward back. Huo Yuhaoughed and brought Huang Qiu''er to the Shimotsuki Vige, seeing Kozaburo fish by the coast again. Kozaburo enjoyed his early evening fishing time because Huo Yuhao was nowhere to be seen, which meant he couldn''t annoy him again, but he didn''t expect to see a blue-haired young man flying toward them. "Shit!" He cursed because Huo Yuhao wasn''t alone. He actually brought quite a beauty. What makes Kozaburo shocked, however, is the fact the beauty is as terrifying as Huo Yuhao. He couldn''t fathom the strength in her body, as if she was a monster in human form. Huo Yuhaonded nearby andmented, "You look like someone who has seen the face of god, Old Man." "Fuck you!" Kozaburo responded in annoyance. "Who is that?" Huo Yuhao pointed at Huang Qiu''er, "Her?" "Uh, how do I exin this again..." "I''m Master''s woman!" Huang Qiu''er blushed while shamelessly dering that. Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened slightly before smiling, "Well, it is kinda true." "Damn..." Kozaburo rubbed his chin. But Huo Yuhao does look good with this fine young woman. They are definitely a power couple. But then something caught Kozaburo''s eyes. His wise eyes locked on the dull ck sword on Huo Yuhao''s hip, which gleamed with faint luster. ''That sword...'' ''I didn''t see him possessing it earlier.'' ''And this aura... Supreme-grade Sword! No, it might be beyond that of a Supreme-grade Sword!'' "B-Brat, that sword." Kozaburo pointed at Hydrogen. Huo Yuhao pulled Hydrogen, "I just made it." "It''s decent, I guess..." "What do you mean by decent?" Kozaburo roared at him. "That''s the best sword I''ve ever seen!" "How could a human make such a perfect sword?" "The ratio, technique, and even the materials..." Huo Yuhao smiled because this technically was made by two individuals, that is Palu and himself. As for the materials, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t tell Kozaburo about his otherworldly ruler''s identity unless he could see potential from the elderly swordsmith. "Since you made it without an edge, there must be a good reason... Still, itcks something." Kozaburomented while eyeing Hydrogen. "A scabbard." Kozaburo and Huo Yuhao said simultaneously. "Pfft!" Huang Qiu''er couldn''t help but giggle. Kozaburo swallowed his pride and lowered his head, "Please let me make the scabbard for that sword." "My skill might becking in making a sword." "Still, I promise you a scabbard that won''t lose to Supreme-grade de." Looking at Kozaburo''s determined expression, Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Go ahead, Old Man." "Surprise me." Kozaburo grinned, "You wouldn''t regret this decision." "Can I touch the sword first?" "You know? For scaling." Huo Yuhao snorted, "Yeah, definitely for scaling." "Here." "Be careful, it''s heavy." Kozaburo received Hydrogen, and his expression changed rapidly. He was dead pale because the dull sword was heavy, five tons or more. ''As expected, this brat is a monster.'' ''His foot didn''t even sink when lifting the sword earlier.'' Kuzaburo adjusted his breathing and flexed his old muscles while holding the dull sword with two hands, appreciating it like it was his son. ''Beautiful.'' He saw the blue and red veins on the sword''s body. He knew these veins weren''t cracks but naturally part of the sword. Huo Yuhao crossed his arms, "How long would it take to make the scabbard?" "I don''t know..." Kozaburo handed Hydrogen back. "Normally, I could just sketch things up mentally and make it happen in my workshop. However, your sword is out of this world." "My skills arecking, I admit that." "Even then, I will pour everything I have to make the best scabbard." Who would have the legendary swordsmith from the Land of Wano focus on a scabbard instead of a sword? Huo Yuhao smiled inwardly, ''I''m changing the timeline again.'' ''This one is manageable, though. ording to the canon event, Old Man Kozaburo would die soon due to old age.'' ''Aih, the timing is just right.'' He felt a little heartless thinking about this. "I will stay for another week. I need to do something anyway." Kozaburo mumbled, "One week, huh?" After that, Kozaburo tossed his fishing rod and returned to his workshop, locking himself there. Huo Yuhao stared at Kozaburo''s back and shouted, "Don''t push yourself too hard, Old Man!" Unfortunately, Kozaburo didn''t listen to Huo Yuhao. He was already too far away. "I hope he didn''t burn his spirit..." "If you''re this worried, why didn''t you stop him, Master?" Huang Qiu''er asked out of curiosity. Huo Yuhao put on a skewed look, "A man who had made his mind won''t change midway." "Especially a proud swordsmith like Old Man Kozaburo." "Qiu''er, can you cook?" He diverted the conversation. "I can... A little." Huang Qiu''er answered. "Master always makes me cook her breakfast." "Make us dinner." Huo Yuhao patted her shoulder. "In the meantime, I will do something about your Devil Fruit." Huang Qiu''er immediately beamed at his words, "Okay~!" "I will cook you the best seafood~!" Watching Huang Qiu''er dive-bombed the ocean, Huo Yuhaoughed heartfully. Huo Yuhao sat on the cliff and asked, "Evo, is there an alternative way to purify and upgrade Devil Fruits into Concept Fruits without using an Upgrading Ticket?" [There is] [In the past, this method was not feasible, but you''re well-connected now] [All you need is Concept Stabilizer] "Concept Stabilizer?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head in confusion. [Concept Stabilizer is an incubator-shaped object. It is a technology of superior mechanical life developed and created by the Grand Doron Emperor, a peak Fifth-grade Omniversal Being] [The function is to stabilize a concept that has yet to be Universal Law] "Good stuff, but I don''t think I know this person." [Correct, you don''t] [But your senior did] [I''ve scanned the Omniversal Order''s database recently and found that one of the Techno Archons killed the Grand Doron Emperor in a duel 10,000 years ago] Huo Yuhao was speechless, "Who?" [The Eternal Virgin] Chapter 312: Concept Stabilizer Chapter 312: Concept Stabilizer --- Chapter 309 --- [Ding! You''re online] [Wee to the Techno Archon''s Chat Group] Huo Yuhao immediately opened the Chat Group. He didn''t dare to be carefree in this kind of situation. ["@Eternal Virgin, Senior, I need your help!" - Blue Lucky Star] ["Hello, there. What do you need from me, Junior?" - The Eternal Virgin] ["Senior, do you have Concept Stabilizer?" - Blue Lucky Star]["I do." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Some guy called Moron created it, and it became mine after I killed him 10,000 years ago." - The Eternal Virgin] ["It''s Grand Doron Emperor." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Doron, Moron, the same thing." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Preach.jpg." - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched because this guy was unhinged. The Grand Doron Emperor was a strong expert in the 5th Omniversal Order, yet the Eternal Virgin didn''t take him seriously. ["Can I borrow it?" - Blue Lucky Star] ["Hmm, what do you need it for?" - The Eternal Virgin] Seeing that his question was ''actually'' answered with another question, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. The Eternal Virgin wanted to know what he was up to. [Say that you''reprehending a new Concept] Evo helped Huo Yuhao. [You''re in dire need of stabilizer to breakthrough] ["I''m learning a new Concept, but it was unstable. I need the Concept Stabilizer to break through." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Owh. I see, I see." - The Eternal Virgin] ["You''re Lying." - The Eternal Virgin] "..." Huo Yuhao stared dumbly at the Chat Group. HOW THE-! "Wait, calm down, Yuhao." "He''s testing you." ["I''m not." - Blue Lucky Star] ["I can even prove it to you." - Blue Lucky Star] The Chat Group is silent. And the silence is loud. Huo Yuhao adjusted his breathing, waiting for the Eternal Virgin''s reply. ["Hahaha~! Just kidding, I know my junior won''t lie to me." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Sure, I can lend you the Concept Stabilizer." - The Eternal Virgin] "Yes." Huo Yuhao pumped his fist in excitement. If Huo Yuhao could get his own on the Concept Stabilizer, he could make it his own and maybe even upgrade it to be better. ["How long did you want to borrow the Concept Stabilizer?" - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao pondered solemnly before typing the keys. ["A week." - Blue Lucky Star] ["A week? You''re ambitious." - The Eternal Virgin] ["I don''t know what you''re talking about, Senior." - Blue Lucky Star] ["Sure, whatever. Just return it to me in one piece." - The Eternal Virgin] ["Just pay me 7 million Constetion Coins upfront." - The Eternal Virgin] ["I heard you made quite a profit..." - The Eternal Virgin] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched, "That''s 90% of my coins." [That''s a steal, Host] Evo said. [No one can''t even rent Concept Stabilizer usually] [Even if the Eternal Virgin is willing to rent it, one usually needs to pay with universes instead of Constetion Coins] [The Eternal Virgin is probably doing this to invest in you] "Invest?" [Yes, Invest] [Omniversal Order is a chaotic realm. The more allies you have, the stronger you are] [Why do you think some Divine-grade sses built a Faction in the Omniversal Order? Techno Archon is no different] [But I believe you must not follow his faction hastily] [We don''t know his character yet] Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, "Exactly what I am thinking." ["Deal, 7 million." - Blue Lucky Star] Far, far away. On a floating ind, the masked Techno Archon sipped his cocktail and chuckled, "He has it." "He really has it, damn." "How manymissions has he taken to get 7 million CC? And this is just pure profit. We haven''t counted the material cost..." "He''s not a genius. He''s a monster." He sighed in disbelief. [Notification!] [You have received 7 million Constetion Coins from Techno Master''s Chat Group] [Sender: Blue Lucky Star] "What a quick little fish. I was only teasing him." The masked Techno Archon shook his head helplessly. This junior is too impressive. Finishing his cocktail, The masked Techno Master rummaged through his pockets and opened some dimensional rifts identally. "FUCK!" "This is why I didn''t want to lend my things to others." "Opening personal space would twist the dimension around me." "I already hold back my power, but still..." He inspected his pockets one after another and then discovered the incubator-like object. It''s not big, around the size of two adult''s heads, and shaped like an egg with a metallic silver shell and hollow inside. The masked Techno Master stared at the device, "In the past, I tried to replicate this thing, but that Moron guy put too many fail-safe systems on the processing system." "Anyway..." "We will see if my little junior can achieve what I can''t." Soon, the device became light particles and vanished from his hand. On the other hand, Huo Yuhao received a notification from Evo. [Ding! You have received the "Concept Stabilizer" (EXX)] "EXX Grade?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t believe his eyes. "This..." [It is a Divine Device from the 5th Omniversal Order] [What do you expect?] [If it is not useless in the 4th Omniversal Order and above, Concept Stabilizer can cause war left and right] "What do you mean by useless?" A system panel appeared before Huo Yuhao. It was Concept Stabilizer''s introduction. [Name: Concept Stabilizer] [Type: Divine Machine] [Grade: EXX] [Description: Grand Doron Emperor''s first and final masterpiece. It was a mechanical device powered by the core of a luminous ring sun and made of deep abyssal steel, which could deter unstable factors in Concepts] [It was an ident] [The Grand Doron Emperor wasn''t a good inventor. He''s more known as the barbarian of a superior mechanical race than a being who was able to create EXX-grade Artifact] [Function 1: Stabilize unstable Concepts] [Function 2: Revert Concepts to their purest form] "Hmm, where is the problem? I don''t see any?" Huo Yuhao was confused. [It''s Function 2] [It said to revert Concepts to their purest form] [People who want to use Concept Stabilizer are usually those who have reached the peak mastery of their Concepts, needing one step to advance and be Law of Universe] [The problem is... The process to advance and revert are contradictory to each other] [It didn''t raise your Concepts'' level. It revert it back to zero] [Thankfully, Devil Fruit is considered an object] [The purer the concept inside it, the better the effect upon consumption] "..." Huo Yuhao didn''t expect it to be this way. "Wait, then why did you rmend me to say I wanted to use Concept Stabilizer for breakthrough earlier?" [To trick the Eternal Virgin] [Without it, he wouldn''t let you the Concept Stabilizer] [Take it out, Host] [Try it] [The whole Tiny World is your fruit garden] Huo Yuhao snorted, "I will remember this, Evo." Even then, Huo Yuhao still took out the Concept Stabilizer and saw the round-shaped object appearing before him. The silver exterior makes it look like a silver egg. Huo Yuhao clicked the only button on the device and watched it open like an incubator. The space inside is small, enough to fit an adult''s head or Devil Fruit. "Greetings." Said the device with a disturbed female voice. "My name is Verdant Care, and I''m the operator of Concept Stabilizer." "Do you want a tutorial to start?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly before replying, "Yes, please." Verdant Care exined the Concept Stabilizer slowly, allowing Huo Yuhao to understand every function perfectly. She even used holographic projection to teach him. But Huo Yuhao regretted taking the tutorial. "THIS THING IS JUST A DAMN OVEN!" Yes, Concept Stabilizer is actually simr to an Oven. Open the hatch, shove the desired object to be purified, close the hatch, and press the button again to start the process. It was easier than the Oven itself. Of course, the Concept Stabilizer is moreplex than an oven. It has a built-in Time Dtion machine. However, Huo Yuhao still felt the five minutes of his life were ''unfortunately'' wasted. ''Moron, Doron, the same thing.'' The Eternal Virgin''sment stayed in Huo Yuhao''s head like an echo. Moron. Doron. Moron. Doron. [Host...] "Sshh." Huo Yuhao rubbed his temple. After a few seconds, he breathed out and said, "Let''s test the device." "I don''t want to destroy the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Golden Carp, so let''s use another Zoan..." Huo Yuhao pulled the dark green kiwi with me-like patterns. [Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Garuda] He opened the Concept Stabilizer and put the Devil Fruit inside, closing the hatch and starting the process with a button press. "..." Huo Yuhao dumbly watched the dark green kiwi spin slowly inside the Concept Stabilizer. Wait, don''t tell me. Three secondster. Ding! IT REALLY RING! The hatch opened, revealing a brand new Devil Fruit. It still looks like a kiwi but with an additional stem shaped like wings, feathery yet scaly pattern?. [Mythical Zoan] [Bird-Bird Fruit - Model: Kun Peng] Chapter 313: Huanglong (Yellow Dragon), Rampage! Chapter 313: Huanglong (Yellow Dragon), Rampage! --- Chapter 310 --- [Name: Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Kun Peng] [Type: Zoan-type Devil Fruit (Mythical)] [Grade: SSS+] [Description: This Devil Fruit contained the essence of Kun Peng, which technically should also belong to the Fish-Fish Fruit category because Kun Peng is a giant fish and bird, but this fruit evolved from Garuda''s lineage, a Demonic Roc] [Upon consumption, one could transform into Kun Peng and wield the power of Mythical Beast to a conceptual level] [This fruit is the only kind in the Tiny World]... [Congrattion, Host] [You have gotten yourself a Concept Fruit Maker] Huo Yuhao smiled, "This felt like cheating on so manyyers." "Whatever." "What works is work, I guess." "Let''s try other fruits now." After putting the rest of Devil Fruits into the Concept Stabilizer, Huo Yuhao transforms them into peak versions of themselves. Ding! [Mythical Zoans] [Name: Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Yellow Dragon (Huanglong)] [Type: Zoan-type Devil Fruit (Mythical)] [Grade: SSS+] [Description: This Devil Fruit contained the essence of Yellow Dragon, the center of four directions, wielding great mystical power. Yellow Dragon is a True Dragon who could contend against other Auspicious Beasts] [Upon consumption, one could transform into Yellow Dragon and wield the power of Sacred Beast to a conceptual level] [This fruit is the only kind in the Tiny World] ... [Name: Monkey-Monkey Fruit, Model: Six Eared Macaque] [Type: Zoan-type Devil Fruit (Mythical)] [Grade: SSS+] [Description: This Devil Fruit contained the power of Six Eared Macaque, an evil, chaotic monkey who possessed enhanced hearing and mystical abilities] [Upon consumption, one could transform into Six-Eared Macaque and wield the power of Mythical Beast to a conceptual level] [This fruit is the only kind in the Tiny World] ... [Name: Crystal-Crystal Fruit] [Type: Logia (Enhanced)] [Grade: SSS] [Description: A Devil Fruit with the very concept of Crystal, allowing anyone who ate it to wield all kinds of Crystal-like power] [Don''t look down on the concept of Crystal. It could crystalize everything in this world] ... Huo Yuhao stared at these system panels and grinned because he got a big jackpot. But now, he needs more Devil Fruits and turned them into Conceptual Fruits like these. He only has a week. If Huo Yuhao couldn''t replicate the Concept Stabilizer by a week, he would lose this chance to raise his and subordinates'' concepts. That''s a big no-no. For the first time in his life, Huo Yuhao wasn''t confident in achieving things. But this is a good thing. Huo Yuhao stared at the silver egg before him, "This is a new challenge for me. In the meantime, I can ask Qiu''er to collect Devil Fruits around the Shimotsuki Vige''s territory." "Even a weak Devil Fruits would be the purest concept for me to consume." "Master, I''m back!" Huang Qiu''ernded on the cliff. Huo Yuhao nced and saw Huang Qiu''er carrying twoically massive marlins. These fish are over thirty meters long and could easily feed an entire Shimotsuki Vige. "Qiu''er, save the marlin''s spines and noses for me." He chuckled and waved his hand, permitting Huang Qiu''er to continue. "What do you need them for?" Huang Qiu''er tilted her head in confusion. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Your training." "You''ve been using Golden Dragon Spear for too long." "It''s time to learn about the Essence of Spear." "Scathach Shishou would teach you better, but I''m not a bad teacher myself." Huang Qiu''er beamed, "I''d like to be trained by Master~!" After that, the girl carefully butchered the fish with her Golden Dragon Spear, putting disrespect on the weapon''s name. If a ''certain'' Silver Dragon sees this offensive act, she might cough blood due to anger issues. Huang Qiu''er didn''t seem to care, though. To her, the Golden Dragon Spear is only a weapon. A multipurpose tool for her to use. Skillfully, Huang Qiu''er made a bonfire and roasted the fileted marlins with a few sticks. Unfortunately, she could only use salts on these filets. "Delicious." Huo Yuhao appeared out of nowhere and took a bite of the roasted marlin. The marlin''s natural taste is mouth-watering. Something about the coarse salt enhances the fish meat''s richness and fattiness. Maybe it''s because Tiny World is naturally like this. No wonder Luffy and his crewmates always eat meat like they are the best things in this world. Thirty minutester, Huo Yuhao and Huang Qiu''er finished both marlins, licking their fingers deliciously. Of course, their bodies don''t bloat as these marlins are barely sufficient to fill them up. One is Spirit Beast, a transformed Human with a Draconic Bloodline. And the other is someone with a bottomless stomach. "Master, should I catch more?" Huang Qiu''er asked with gleaming eyes. Huo Yuhao stared at the orange sunset and replied, "No. There is no need for that." "You have something else to do..." "The fruit, I have purified it." "Here, take it." Huang Qiu''er stared at the yellowish-gold pineapple in awe. It has gained fang-like leaves and more dragon-like scales now. "This..." "How do I use it?" Huo Yuhao flicked her forehead gently, "How else? It''s a fruit. Obviously, you must eat it." Huang Qiu''er took the fruit and rubbed her forehead. She could feel a familiar aura inside the fruit. It was draconic and pure. Purer than her Auspicious Rose-Golden Dragon Martial Soul. "Uh... Do I need to peel it first?" "Eat it whole." "Eh?" "Err, Okay..." Huang Qiu''er ate the Devil Fruit and expected it to taste disgusting like Nico Robin said in the past. To her surprise, it tastes sweet with a refreshing aftertaste. She quickly ate the Devil Fruit, leaving nothing behind. Suddenly, Huang Qiu''er felt something. Her body shook, and something incredible happened inside. BOOOM! A Draconic Aura exploded from Huang Qiu''er, making her look like a human torch burning with yellowish-golden me. Huo Yuhao snapped once, turning the surrounding dimension into a Mirror Dimension. He doesn''t want to ruin Shimotsuki Vige from an ident. ROOOOOOARRR! Golden scales grow on Huang Qiu''er, turning her into a humanoid dragon. Huo Yuhao expected her Martial Soul would ovep with the Devil Fruit''s power, but no. It is a big surprise. Half of the dragon scales on Huang Qiu''er are actually rose gold instead of yellowish gold. "The conceptual power actually fused into her." Huo Yuhao mumbled. ROARR!! Huang Qiu''er roared at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao furrowed his brow, "Oh, I didn''t expect the conceptual power to take over her like this." BOOM! Huang Qiu''er rushed toward Huo Yuhao, bing a golden light that wanted to smash him apart. Huo Yuhao stretched his hand and grabbed Huang Qiu''er''s hand, twisting it gently. But then, Huang Qiu''ershed and twisted her body to kick Huo Yuhao''s stomach. Crack! That''s not the sound of Huo Yuhao''s bones. Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened because this possessed girl injured herself to attack him. Still, it was like kicking an iron te. "Regeneration. No, Immortality, to be exact." Huo Yuhao watched Huang Qiu''er regenerate her broken bones and twisted body. Her eyes be crimson with primal instinct. ROAR! Antlers grew on Huang Qiu''er''s head. BOOOM! She grew bigger, bing an eastern dragon with half-rose and half-yellow golden scales, a pearly white belly, and four ws. Gravity changed around her, bing heavier rapidly. Huo Yuhao stayed on the spot and grinned, "COME, QIU''ER!" ROAAAR! SWOOOOSH! A crimson fire breath exploded from the dragon''s mouth, burning with pure destruction. ... ... ... "Huh?" Huang Qiu''er woke up. "Where am I?" "Shouldn''t I be eating the Devil Fruit?" "You''re awake? That''s good." Huo Yuhao''s voice called her. Huang Qiu''er blinked a few times and realized she was lying on Huo Yuhao''sp, seeing his handsome face from below. "M-Master..." "What happened?" Huo Yuhao patted her gently, "The conceptual power of Yellow Dragon is too strong for you. It''s my fault, and you went berserk on me." "This..." Huang Qiu''er paled. "D-Did I hurt you?" If she hurt him, that would be her biggest sin. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "You''re too weak to injure me." "But I must say, you gave me quite a problem earlier." Before Huo Yuhao, it was an area that used to be an ocean. But now, what is left is a scorched hole without a single drop of water. A crimson fire is still burning deep in the hole. There are also several meteors around, ruining the area beyond recognition. If they weren''t in the Mirror Dimension, Huang Qiu''er might decimate the Tiny World with her new power. Huo Yuhao caressed Huang Qiu''er, "For the next seven days, I will help you master your new power." "As for now... Rest." "Mm." Huang Qiu''er blushed because of his touch, closing her eyes due to exhaustion. Soon, the girl fell asleep peacefully. Chapter 314: Starting from Zero, Prying into Heavenly Secrets Chapter 314: Starting from Zero, Prying into Heavenly Secrets --- Chapter 311 --- A dayter. Hiyaa! Ha! A blue-haired young woman rigorously swung her spear, causing her body to sway harmoniously. Any creature would appreciate such beauty in sight, but nothing about her is warm. Everything the young beauty has done is deadly straight to the core. Her spear stabbed fiercely, creating several shadows.Her step is steady, adapting to every stab she throws. But then, a yellowish-golden aura broke from her body and caused the spear that looked like marlin''s nose to snap into two. Kacha~! The young woman stared at her broken spear and smiled bitterly, "Master, this is not working at all." "I don''t know how to reach the finest control." "Huanglong''s power is too strong." Behind Huang Qiu''er, there are small piles of broken spears. She has been trying to achieve control over the finest detail without losing control over Huanglong''s power. However, it wasn''t easy. Huo Yuhao told her to keep swinging her spear until she wouldn''t break it, but this approach wasn''t efficient because after eating Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Huanglong, her control became more wed. Everything felt awkward for Huang Qiu''er. Even the way she breathes and flexes muscles is different now. Huanglong''s power and concept changed herpletely. Huo Yuhao stared at Huang Qiu''er and smiled, "That''s because you don''t see the essence of finest control. Don''t swing your spear mindlessly, Qiu''er. Think of the most effective way to swing it." "Forget about controlling your Huanglong''s power." "You should start understanding how a fish swims." Huang Qiu''er frowned and tossed the broken spear, taking another from her spatial ring. After yesterday''s rampage, Huo Yuhao forbade her from using the Golden Dragon Spear and made over 100,000 marlin spears instead. Seeing that Huang Qiu''er focused on her training again, Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. As expected, the pure concept is difficult for a girl like Huang Qiu''er. After all, Huang Qiu''er learned to st things open with pure strength. Well, Huo Yuhao gave her the instructions and clues. She could solve the problem in a few hours. ''I have things to do as well.'' Huo Yuhao concentrated on the Concept Stabilizer on the ground and started tracing everything. He needed to understand the technology behind the Concept Stabilizer and create a cheap copy within a week if possible. As long as Huo Yuhao canprehend the technology''s framework, he could upgrade the Concept Stabilizer''s cheap copy and possibly achieve eptable results. He used the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao, the Genesis and the End, and other abilities, but none worked. This piece of technology is truly an anomaly. Wait, an anomaly? It might be a Paradox. The divergence between two forces causes it to return to its origin. If the masked Techno Archon. No, if any of the Techno Archons knew what Huo Yuhao was thinking, they would be shocked. Techno Archons are always crazy about pursuing their goals, and experts in the Omniversal Order called them degenerate for having such traits. Even then, they have certain taboos. An unwritten rule within the Omniversal Order that Techno Archon must not break. That is tampering with the Omniversal Order''s natural order of Paradox. Paradoxes exist, and the divergence caused by them is flowing chaotically. However, even the Paradoxes ruled by the Omniversal Order''s Will. It''s not just Techno Archons because even the other Omniversal Beings didn''t dare to offend Omniversal Order''s Will over Paradoxes. Thetter is just scary on infinite levels. Yet here is Huo Yuhao, grasping the secrets of the Omniversal Order. Maybe because Huo Yuhao was too lucky, but such a chance is unheard of. Step by step, Huo Yuhao unveiled the secret behind Concept Stabilizer. Suddenly, someone shouted. "HEY, FIGHT ME!" A youthful voice entered Huo Yuhao''s ears. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw the annoying young Zoro again, which caused his expression to turn sour. He sighed, "I don''t have time." "Go y somewhere else, kid." "Don''t wanna!" Zoro replied straightforwardly. "I only want to challenge you in swordsmanship!" "I will show you the will of a man who would be the strongest swordsman in the world!" "..." The corner of Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched. "Qiu''er, I want you to beat this kid for me." Huo Yuhao said, altering the blue-haired young man from her training. Huang Qiu''er nced to the left and frowned at the moss-haired brat beside her master. She tapped her foot gently on the ground and appeared before Zoro, shocking him. "W-What?" Zoro reacted poorly. Huang Qiu''er snorted, "If you want to challenge my master, you should pass me first." "A frog trapped on the bottom of a well. Your swordsmanship isn''t even a drop of the ocean to my master." Zoro frowned, "You chick doesn''t know anything." "Heh, then duel with me." Huang Qiu''er replied indifferently. After that, Huang Qiu''er dragged Zoro to the forest, and a blood-curdling scream echoed. AAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHH~!! It sounds like a ughtered animal. Three minutester, Huang Qiu''er returned, looking very refreshed. "You didn''t kill him, right?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but ask. Huang Qiu''er smiled faintly, "Of course not. I''m civilized and only vented my frustration a little." "I only pat him gently." ''Qiu''er, who are you fooling here? That scream from Zoro doesn''t ring anything gentle at all.'' Huo Yuhao thought speechlessly. They continued their routines. Huang Qiu''er kept swinging her spear. Huo Yuhao studied the idea behind Concept Stabilizer. The sun rose to the sky and fell after hours. Watching the orange sunset, Huang Qiu''er froze on the spot and stared at it in epiphany. "Micro tasking." She mumbled. "So, that''s how it is." "I don''t need to control everything at once. I can start from small things." "A fish who evolved into a dragon didn''t learn to fly immediately. It swims and swims every day..." Huang Qiu''er clenched her hand and still found it awkward, but a path of light appeared for her. "Ten percent." "No, less than one percent should be my first goal." Huang Qiu''er stared at the cracked marlin spear in her hand and closed her eyes, trying to use less power than before. Less power. Less movement. Less aggressiveness. Huang Qiu''er used both hands and stabbed forward. At the same time, a wave crashed against the cliff, causing the seawater to spray in the sunset''s glory. The youngdy didn''t care about getting wet. Her eyes are brighter than ever. ''Refine, refine, refine.'' Huang Qiu''er repeated the same movement until she sensed the sensation was right. Then, she moved to another area. Boom! The sea wave crashed again, but Huang Qiu''er could part it with her spear this time. It felt like an illusion. Huo Yuhao this and chuckled, "Smart girl." "Now, keep that pace." "You should be able to learn Huanglong''s power in a week." Why did Huo Yuhao not mention Huanglong''s concept? Well, Huang Qiu''er is too early for that. After so long, the moon illuminated the area. "You should stop training for now." Huo Yuhao said while also storing Concept Stabilizer. "Let''s eat first." "Mm." The sweaty Huang Qiu''er nodded at Huo Yuhao. They had a fulfilling dinner and rested after that. Huang Qiu''er set a tent under a tree and gazed at the meditating Huo Yuhao on the sea cliff. Looking at him alone fills her with joy. Soon, Huang Qiu''er fell into sleep. "She finally fell asleep." Huo Yuhao to sigh in relief. "Now I can focus on my n." "Evo, I only have less than a week." "Do you think my n is viable?" [Yes] [I approve your n, Host] [Since you''re limited on time and might not be able to get the Concept Stabilizer''s core technology, there is nothing wrong with getting more Devil Fruits and purifying them] [But I have to warn you...] [Don''t change this timeline too much] [Which means you shouldn''t collect Devil Fruits that have predestined users in the future] "I know." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "Let''s start." Chapter 315: Learning New Concepts Chapter 315: Learning New Concepts (An: Extra Upload, Enjoy~!) --- Chapter 312 --- The next day. Huo Yuhaoy down on the grassy portion of the sea cliff. He stared at the rising sun and sighed because searching for Devil Fruits in this era wasn''t easy. He did a few rounds on the East Blue and discovered some weak Devil Fruits, but that''s it. He couldn''t explore outside the East Blue because the twisted space and time prevented him. It''s like a video game. Huo Yuhao hasn''t unlocked that part of the world because of the unstable timeline. Even if Huo Yuhao forced himself into another region, the bnce in the Tiny World would crumble and cause more chaos.Well, he still got quite a harvest. After the rounds, Huo Yuhao got twelve non-canon Devil Fruits. Five is Paramecia. Six is Zoan. The remaining is Logia. It wasn''t a good Logia-type, but Huo Yuhao could use it. If people in One Piece knew Huo Yuhao could gather twelve Devil Fruits, even if they were trash, in a night, it would cause a huge shock. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao preferred to stay low in this situation. Huo Yuhao sat up and pulled the Concept Stabilizer from his inventory, purifying the Devil Fruit one by one. After twelve oven noises, Huo Yuhao got twelve freshly baked Devil Fruits. Of course, he didn''t purify them only to make them better. Huo Yuhao also observed the changes inside the Concept Stabilizer to see if he could use them to understand the core technology. These are the Devil Fruits Huo Yuhao got. ... Mythical Zoans. Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Bi Fang. Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Inugami. Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Nekomata. Lizard-Lizard Fruit, Model: Smander. Bear-Bear Fruit, Model: Vajra Bear. Horse-Horse Fruit, Model: Centaur. ... Enhanced Paramecia. Feather-Feather Fruit. Matryoshka-Matryoshka Fruit. Bullet-Bullet Fruit. Twist-Twist Fruit. Prickly-Prickly Fruit. ... Purified Logia. Ash-Ash Fruit. Huo Yuhao stared at these Devil Fruits and shook his head. Besides some Devil Fruits, he doesn''t want to consume anything that doesn''t help his progress on concepts. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao doesn''t have limitations on consuming Devil Fruits and can eat them without getting too bloated with the power of concepts. "Evo, I''m going to eat the nk Concept Fruit." Huo Yuhao said while storing most of the Devil Fruits. [Have you decided what Concepts you want to upgrade?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. "I also wanted topare new concepts and fuse them with the existing concepts I had if possible." [Do it] [I will support you] Huo Yuhao smiled and grabbed the nk Concept Fruits before eating it without dy. Crunch~! Concept of Nullification. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and used the particles ofws from the nk Concept Fruit to support hisprehension. Five minutes passed, and the effect disappeared. Phew. [Ding! The Concept of Nullification has reached level 25] Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, feeling a string of aura in the atmosphere. He could sense the naturalw of Tiny World and nodded in satisfaction as the Concept of Nullification had raised a whole twenty-one levels. He could nullify his enemy''s power, rendering them useless faster now. Of course, Huo Yuhao needed to understand their ability first. "Continue with the Seed of Concepts." After saving Robin in the past, Huo Yuhao got rewarded with the Seed of Concepts, five of them exactly. He never touched Seed of Concepts for so long as he didn''t understand the power of Concepts back then. He used them, yes. As for understanding them, no. Then, Huo Yuhao ate the Seed of Concepts. Unlike the nk Concept Fruits, which could enhance the existing concepts that Huo Yuhao had, Seed of Concepts allowed him to learn new ones. Honestly, Huo Yuhao didn''t n to use them this early. But he had no choices. [Ding! You have learned the Concept of Equal Exchange] [Ding! You have learned the Concept of Saving Money] [Ding! You have learned the Concept of Anomaly] [Ding! You have learned the Concept of Timeless Sand] [Ding! You have learned the Concept of Invention] [All the new concepts will start from level 1] Huo Yuhao didn''t bother to check his new concepts and ate Devil Fruits this time. [Ding! You have eaten Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Bi Fang] [You have obtained Bi Fang''s concepts, power, and bloodline] [War Beast''s Bloodline has absorbed Bi Fang''s Trait] [Mountly Red me awakened] [Ding! You have eaten Matryoshka-Matryoshka Fruit] [You have learned the Concept of Multiplication and Sealing] [Ding! You have eaten Bullet-Bullet Fruit] [You have learned the Concept of Bullet and Caliber] [Ding! You have eaten Twist-Twist Fruit] [You have learned the Concept of Twist and Turn] [Ding! You have eaten Prickly-Prickly Fruit] [You have learned the Concept of Break and Prick] [All new concepts start from Level 1] [Ding! Due to the new Concept of Twist and Turn, the Concept of Tear has increased by four levels] [The Concept of Tear is currently at level 15] [Ding! Due to the Concept of Anomaly, the Concept of Dark Light has increased by eight levels] [The Concept of Dark Light currently at Level 10] "Evo, sort my concepts." Huo Yuhaopletely immersed himself in the wonder of concepts. As far as he knew, he needed them to reach level 100 and transform them into Universal Law. [Okay, Host] [Sorting...] [Concept: Nullification(25), Tear(15), Destruction(10), Dark Light(10), Stars(7), Small Plundering(9), Death(40), Life(40), Equal Exchange(1), Saving Money(1), Anomaly(1), Timeless Sand(1), Invention(1), Twist and Turn(1), Multiplication and Sealing(1), Bullet and Caliber(1), Break and Prick(1)] The sensation was gone after ten minutes, and Huo Yuhao stared at the system panel calmly. "Where is Bi Fang''s concept?" [The War Beast absorbed it] [It has be part of the War Beast itself] "Was that a good thing?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but ask. [Yes] [The Bi Fang''s Concept is Beastly Concept, after all] [The legendary one-legged crane is a creature that allows one to elevate their existence into a Spiritual Being] [You even got a new fire called the Mountly Red me. It is the fire that Bi Fang used in its lifetime and possessed sorcery-like quality] Huo Yuhao flicked his finger and watched a buoyant red me appear on his fingertips. The me shaped like a crane, cawing at him joyfully. But then, Huo Yuhao noticed something. The energy swirl inside the red me is simr to the Concept Stabilizer. "This is..." "Divergence." "I think I got it, Evo." A grin formed on Huo Yuhao''s handsome face. "We can start on the prototype." ... ... Huang Qiu''er was awake, but she couldn''t find Huo Yuhao anywhere on the ind. "Master, where are you?" BOOM! She felt a tremor on her skin. Her eyes widened when she saw Huo Yuhao crawling out of the Mirror Dimension with an ash-covered face. Huo Yuhao coughed and cursed, "Fuck, that was dangerous." "The grid is too unstable. I can''t replicate the frame''s material and energy source that Doron uses on the Concept Stabilizer." "There must be a way." "Master, are you okay?" Huang Qiu''er sh-stepped to Huo Yuhao''s side. Huo Yuhao stared at Huang Qiu''er, and his mouth gaped open because the youngdy was wearing a tight blue pajama that wrapped around her figure perfectly, showcasing her curves and slender waist. Cough! Cough! "I''m fine." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. "You should change your clothes and prepare breakfast for us." Huang Qiu''er tilted her head and then looked down, blushing. She ran away and hurriedly entered her tent again to change clothes. Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, "She''s too well-endowed." Then, they had breakfast. After that, Huang Qiu''er continued her practice. "Hey, fight me!" Zoro appeared again. Of course, he doesn''t challenge Huo Yuhao this time. Hees to annoy Huang Qiu''er. ARRRRGHHH! A familiar blood-curdling scream echoed in the forest. "He''s courting death." Huo Yuhao sighed in awe. Interestingly, this keeps happening for the next four days. At the same time, Huo Yuhao finally grasped the secret behind Concept Stabilizer. "Hahaha, this is it!" Huo Yuhaoughed at theplex-looking blueprint in his hand. [Ding! You have triggered Dual ss Quests] [Name: Striking Iron and Embers] [Objective: Utilize Pagma''s Incarnation and Techno Archon ss to replicate the Concept Stabilizer(0/1)] [Time Limit: 1 Day] [Reward: Based on the replication rate] [Do you want to ept the quest?] "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied confidently. "Concept Stabilizer, here we go!" Chapter 316: Timeless Order Chapter 316: Timeless Order --- Chapter 313 --- The secret behind the Concept Stabilizer didn''t lie within the material or energy source. It was actually simple. The Grand Doron Emperor used the Three-Step Regression Form, an unorthodox and chaotic form of knowledge where one twists the truth and regresses it to its original form. Huo Yuhao needed to create an object that could withstand the Three-Step Regression Form and encase it in a shell, simr to the silver egg container. But if it is that easy, how could the masked Techno Master say he couldn''t do it? Well, the information about the Grand Doron Emperor is wrong.Grand Doron Emperor is not just an inventor. He was also a Rune Master and cksmith! Although the Great Doron Emperor wasn''t that skilled of a Rune Master, he''s actually a Divine cksmith who could imbue spirituality into his creation. Huo Yuhao didn''t notice it at first. But then the texture of the silver egg upon some inspection wasn''t from refining technique or cutting-edge technology, but the skilled tempering of a million hammers instead. Entering Mirror Dimension, Huo Yuhao breathed in and summoned the purple slime Palu again. It will be his second creation as Pagma''s Incarnation, marking his second step as the Divine cksmith. "Let''s start." Huo Yuhao has done extramissions in Channel 77 and bought more materials. Palu jumped back and forth, spewing an anvil and cksmith hammer for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao caught the hammer casually and ignited the Neb Thunderfire, heating the forge inside Palu''s body. ZZZT! Palu shivered joyfully, squealing while spewing fire breath at the anvil. "Palu, throw the materials." The purple slime dropped the heated materials all over the anvil, and Huo Yuhao knocked them with his hammers. His cksmith hammer moved like a thousand shadows, multiplying under his fine control. At the same time, Huo Yuhao also infused his concepts into every hammer strike, blessing the things he made. Bang! Bang! Bang! Huo Yuhao''s muscles flex constantly, putting strain on his body. He frowned but maintained this pace, not wanting to break the rhythm. "Anastasia, Bing Di, Sister Mengm, help me." Huo Yuhao said while staring at the merging lump of materials in the anvil. "I''m here, Master/Yuhao!" Anastasia, Bing Di, and Tian Menge out of Huo Yuhao''s spiritual realm. Huo Yuhao didn''t even nce at them, "Every time I tten this ball, I want you to cool it down with your ice and snow power." "Do it gently, and don''t drop the temperature too much." "Understood!" The three spirit souls gazed at the burning metal ball on the anvil. Huo Yuhao adjusted his breathing before hammering the metal lump with all his might. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! The Mirror Dimension trembled. "Now!" Huo Yuhao''s voice echoed. Anastasia, Bing Di, and Tian Meng immediately used their frost power. They cooled it down the ttened metal lumps, covering it with a thinyer of multi-colored frost. "Palu!" Wee! The purple slime nodded and sted the ttened metal lump with another wisp of Neb Thunderfire. "Temper." Huo Yuhao started hammering again. The musical sound reverberated. They tempered the metal lump continuously, disregarding time and space around them. In fact, even the three spirit souls couldn''t help but break a cold sweat because they didn''t know how many times they had cooled down this metal lump. Ten thousand times? A hundred thousand times? One million times? They didn''t know what Huo Yuhao was aiming for. Huo Yuhao activated the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao, observing the metal lump with all seriousness. He looked like he was trying to find something. His blue eyes flickered with starry specks of dust. "Again!" Huo Yuhao suddenly shouted. Palu heated the metal lump, Huo Yuhao smashed it t, and the three spirits cooled it down. "Again!" "Again!" "Again!" "Again!" "Again!" Kacha! The metal lump cracked because it couldn''t handle Huo Yuhao''s endless abuses. "STOP!" Huo Yuhao stared at the cracked metal lump. A dust-like particle was ''actually'' produced inside the crack, around the size of 69 microns. He didn''t know what it was, but this is definitely not a concept. "What is this?" [I see...] [No wonder the Techno Master couldn''t replicate the Concept Stabilizer] [That thing is involved, after all] [Congrattion, Host] [You have created Semi-Paradox Dust] [It is a weaker version of Paradox Dust, which was the mainponent of Concept Stabilizer] [Paradox Dust has no tangible effect unless you mix it with time energy, causing the origin to regress] [This is also the result of the Three-Step Regression Form] [Paradox Dust can''t be replicated. They only exist in the unstable Paradox World] [And Paradox World only appeared when timelines were diverged, twisted, and merged into one another] [A super rare asion in the Omniversal Order] "Does that mean Semi=Paradox Dust is weaker?" [Yes, it is weaker] [But you forget I can help you with it] "Upgrade..." Huo Yuhao nodded in realization. [Exactly] [The problem lies within the Semi-Paradox Dust quantity now. If possible, you need more than one grain, preferably ten thousand of them, and the tinum Upgrading Ticket won''t get wasted] "That''s easy." Huo Yuhao chuckled in joy. He focused on one of his concepts, applying them to Semi-Paradox Dust on the anvil. Soon, the dust split into two, multiplying again and again. [Concept of Multiplication, great use of it, too] [Still, you will consume too much energy if this keeps going on] "Worth it." Huo Yuhao replied casually. After that, a pile of Semi-Paradox Dust sat on the anvil, which consumed 90% of Huo Yuhao''s energy. Fortunately, he has the Energy Recovering Pills in his inventory. [Good, I can upgrade them now] [Afterward, you should seal the Paradox Dust] [The Paradox Dust could alter space and time, more so in the Mirror Dimension] "Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded while ordering Palu and others to retreat. [Ding! You have used 1 tinum Upgrading Ticket to upgrade ''Pile of Semi-Paradox Dust.''] [Upgrading...] [Sess!] [You have received a pile of Paradox Dust] "Done." Huo Yuhao stretched his hand and immediately used the Concept of Sealing to seal the Paradox Dust. His eyes lit up when looking at the pile of sparkling tinum dust. "Now, let''s make the framework and energy source for my Concept Stabilizer." "The blueprint is ready." Huo Yuhao held his hammer and opened Techno Archon''s work desk, choosing the proper material. He didn''t have fancy materials like the Grand Doron Emperor for a replica, but if it worked, it worked. He used two Divine-grade sses simultaneously, utilizing the rigidness of Pagma''s Incarnation ss and the versatility of the Techno Archon ss. Palu and three spirits helped Huo Yuhao from time to time, processing high-grade materials carefully. After countless hours, a copper orb hovered on Huo Yuhao''s palm. It was slightly smaller than the Concept Stabilizer but had the same, if not more function, than the original. Huo Yuhao has modified some things, making it more efficient. [Name: None (Huo Yuhao''s Version)] [Type: Divine Tool] [Grade: EX+] [Description: Replicating Grand Doron Emperor''s Concept Stabilizer. This Divine Tool is both a mechanical device and divine artifact, powered by the core of condensed Neb Thunderfire imbued with Heavenly Dao of Time and made of Primeval Dao Metal, which could prevent unstable factors in Concepts from breaking] [This is an improvement but also a downgrade] [Although this version of Concept Stabilizer is weaker and slower in stabilizing and reverting concepts than the alpha version, it redeemed with a morepact design and extra function to fuse concepts] [Function 1: Stabilize unstable Concepts] [Function 2: Revert Concepts to their purest form] [Function 3: Fuse Concepts into one higher Concept] [Ding! You have finished a Dual ss Quest] [Objective Rate: 95%] [Rewarding host with a recipe and material for Divine Weapon] [Verdant World Breaker(EX)] [The Godly Axe wielded by the Primeval Barbarian God] Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened, "Damn." [You should name your newest creation] [Even though you copy the Concept Stabilizer, the new function gives you the privilege to patent the technology] [Well, I''m sure no one in the fifth and fourth Omniversal Order could replicate your works] [No one would fight you over the technology patent anyway. The Grand Doron Emperor and his race perished a long time ago] "Sure." Huo Yuhao pondered a name for his creation. "I will call it..." "Timeless Order." Chapter 317: Legendary Swordsmiths Last Wish Chapter 317: Legendary Swordsmith''s Last Wish --- Chapter 314 --- After creating the Divine Tool - Timeless Order, Huo Yuhao received another notification. [Ding! You have triggered Pagma''s Incarnation ss'' sub-quest] [Name: Second Creation] [Objective: Create a legendary weapon or above (0/1)] [Time Limit: None] [Reward: One of Pagma''s Incarnation ss''s skills will be unlocked]Huo Yuhao''s eyebrow twitched slightly, "Well, that was fast." "As if the ss knew I just got a new weapon recipe." "Whatever, I will do itter." "I wanted to test Timeless Order''s function now." He returned his gaze to the hovering bronze orb. "But I don''t have raw Devil Fruits to use..." Even though Huo Yuhao knew the One Piece World had plenty of Devil Fruits, he couldn''t get more than the twelve ones he got a few days ago. It was such bullshit, but Huo Yuhao couldn''t do anything about it. He could try the fuse concepts function, but it would be a waste if the result is subpar. He sighed, "Just one more day, and I can get into another timeline." "Palu, Anastasia, Bing Di, Sister Mengs, good job." He nced at the purple slime and his contracted spirit souls. "Thanks for helping me." Wee~! Palu bounced a few times. "I will do everything for you, Master." Anastasia smiled faintly. "Mhm, me too." Bing Di followed calmly. "I WANT FOOOOOOOODDD!" Tian Meng demanded with a big, smug grin on her face. "You''re torturing me all these times with those foods you ate with the Little Dragon Girl." "Have some conscience, and share with me!" Huo Yuhao nodded, "Sure. I will save someter." "Go rest for now." Exiting the Mirror Dimension, Huo Yuhao saw Huang Qiu''er walking around the sea cliff with a worried look. "Are you looking for something?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile. Huang Qiu''er turned around and beamed, "Master, you''re back! I thought you left me for good." "Silly girl, why would I leave you? Your food is delicious, so I can''t eat normal food anymore." "Really?" "Yes. I''m craving your breakfast now." Huang Qiu''er foolishly smiled, "Then, I will get some ingredients and make something immediately!" With that, she dived into the ocean like usual. Apparently, swimming gave her an idea of how Huanglong''s power works. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, Huang Qiu''er has grasped enough control over her newfound strength. But to reachplete mastery, he needs a little more time. Even then, doing it in a week is within Huo Yuhao''s expectation. "Hmm? How strange." Huo Yuhao suddenly said. He felt something was missing in the atmosphere. Perhaps, a certain green-haired brat. "I don''t see Zoro anywhere." "Where is he?" Zoro would never miss his challenge on Huang Qiu''er. After his first defeat, he would appear at nine in the morning and three in the evening. His scream echoed well with waves crashing against the sea cliff, making Huo Yuhao used to it quickly. Wait, did Huo Yuhao reawaken his sadist tendency? Huo Yuhao shook his head unhurriedly, "There must be a reason." "Well, he should be around soon." Weirdly, Zoro never appeared. After breakfast, noon came, and the green-haired brat was still nowhere to be seen. "How peaceful..." Even Huang Qiu''er found this situation weird. "Young Master Huo." A lone figure walked to the sea cliff. It was Koushiro, Kozaburo''s son. "Koushiro-san." Huo Yuhao greeted the man calmly. Koushiro nodded but had a troubled look, "Young Master Huo, my father actually faintedst night... He had been locking himself in the workshop for four days, and by the time I checked on him, he was on the ground." "Coughing blood." "D-Do you perhaps have something to do with it?" Huo Yuhao sighed and facepalmed, "That Old Man..." "How stubborn." "I already wanted him not to push himself too hard." "Sorry, Koushiro-san. That old man pushed himself this badly because he was determined to make a sheath for my new sword." "Sheath?" Koushiro tilted his head in confusion. Huo Yuhaoo showed Koushiro his newly made Hydrogen and the sses-using man froze on the spot. Koushiro stared at the dull sword and felt a terrifyingly ancient turtle with furious red eyes staring back at him. He broke a cold sweat because it was such an intense sensation, prating his body like needles. ''This sword, it''s an evil sword!'' Koushiro thought to himself. ''No, it''s a demon sword itself!'' Even though Koushiro hasn''t seen Supreme-grade des, he possessed the Wado Ichimonji crafted by his father and could gauge the de''s strength when seeing them. The ck sword in Huo Yuhao''s hand is definitely above the Supreme-grade de, not something humans could make. "This, Young Master Huo, you made this?" Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied casually, "I made it amidst irritation." "..." Koushiro. Who the hell made a beyond Supreme-grade de just because he got irritated? Koushiro stared at Hydrogen again, "My father is weak." "He shouldn''t have moved a hammer any longer." "But... Looking at your sword, I think I can understand him now." "Unfortunately, I don''t think he could finish the sheath." Koushiro sighed hopelessly. "He was on his deathbed, and many of his internal organs weakened due to prolonged injury from his younger days." "He wants to talk with you." Huo Yuhao nced at Huang Qiu''er and said, "Qiu''er, keep practicing." "I will go with Koushiro-san." "Mm." Huang Qiu''er nodded in understanding and went to her practice immediately. Then, Koushiro and Huo Yuhao went to the Dojo. Huo Yuhao asked Koushiro where Zoro was, and the sses-wearing sword master told him the green-haired brat had been dueling his daughter since yesterday. "He''s probably sleeping in our backyard." Koushiro chuckled weakly. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "I can see that happening." They arrived at the Dojo and went to the house behind it. Huo Yuhao entered the house and saw the bedridden Kozaburo with Kuina tending him. "Grandpa, have some fruits!" Kuina said while offering a sliced apple. Kozaburo bitterly ate the apple because he didn''t want to eat anything right now. He wanted to finish his work! His MASTERPIECE! "Brat, what are you doing here?" He noticed Huo Yuhao and his son walk into his bedroom. Huo Yuhao snorted, "What else, to keep you alive." Kozaburo snorted back, "My life is my life. It has nothing to do with you." "Koushiro, bring Kuina to y." "Mm," Koushiro replied with a nod, bringing Kuina out of the bedroom. After the two left, the atmosphere became incredibly tense. Kozaburo nced at the open window and felt a refreshing wind hit his face. "You want to keep me alive?" "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "I''m d you have such a kind heart, but you don''t have to," Kozaburo added with a self-mocking smirk. "I know the condition with my body, but the bigger problem lies within my spirit..." "After crafting my two masterpieces, Wado Ichimonji and Enma, I left my homnd and want to experience the world with many of myrades." "We thrive but also get ourselves tangled in conflict." "I got stranded in a small vige and fell in love with a vige girl... She was the most beautiful girl." "But fate has a different end for us." "The reason I never seriously smith anymore is because I injured my spirit in a fight." "To create an enchanted de, I used my family''s secret technique and burned the metal with my soul. Still, the ember in my soul got weakened after continuous usage." "But I don''t want to give up." "I overestimated myself." "Yesterday, I knocked myself cold. I''m already so old, creating more masterpieces is impossible..." "Still, I don''t want to give up!" He roared while clenching his hands, tears running from his eyes. "I won''t die in peace if I can''t create another masterpiece." Huo Yuhao watched this, "I can help you." "I can even revive people from the dead." "Pfft..." Kozaburoughed at him. "You''re talking like you''re a god." Huo Yuhao smiled, "I am, Old Man." "I''m a God." Kozaburo''s eyes widened as his surroundings changed. He''s standing on the ground, watching Huo Yuhao bask in the divine aura of fortune. "Fuck, you got to be kidding me!" Kozaburo cursed on the spot. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Believe it or not, I''m the God of Fortune." "That''s a fact." "So, do you want to live?" Kozaburo stared at Huo Yuhao solemnly but eventually broke his stubborn facade, "No." "What?" Huo Yuhao was speechless. "What do you mean by no?" Kozaburo sat on the ground, "I have no attachment to the world..." "Besides creating another masterpiece..." "Koushiro is an adult." "Maybe my granddaughter, Kuina. Still, she''s a big girl already. Can you help me by watching over her?" "..." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched. Kozaburo saw Huo Yuhao''s sour expression and added, "I''m telling the truth. I''ve been thinking of apanying my wife on the other side." "I will be thankful if you allow me to create another masterpiece." "Grant me my physique and spirit at peak for ten-! No, seven hours are enough." "And I will show you my skill." "Very well." Huo Yuhao extended his hand. Heavenly Dao of Time, Physical Regression. Heavenly Dao of Life, Soul Nourishment. At that moment, a bright green and gray light shed in Kozaburo''s bedroom. "Father, you..." Koushiro entered the room and saw a fierce-looking man in his father''s clothing. "Move, I want to enter my workshop!" Kozaburo excitedly pushed his son aside, running to the workshop. He also patted Kuina on the way. "Young Master Huo, what happened?" Koushiro questioned Huo Yuhao with a confused look. Huo Yuhao stood from the chair, "I''m giving the Old Man hisst wish." "Let''s go. Let''s watch the Old Man''s ember burn till the end." Huo Yuhao, Koushiro, and Kuina went to the small workshop. They watched the bare-chested Kozaburo move with vigor, hammering a piece of metal with a wide grin. "HAHAHA, IT''S BEEN A WHILE! I CAN''T BELIEVE I CAN MOVE LIKE THIS AFTER SO LONG~!" Kozaburoughed joyfully. Koushiro was stunned, his eyes moistened slightly. "Grandpa?" Kuina was puzzled. Yet the sight of her young grandfather stuck in her mind. Bang! Bang! Bang! Kuzaburo moved with the finest, hammering the hot iron skillfully. He was like a storm in this small workshop. Five hourster, Koushiro and Kuina are stuck on their feet. Huo Yuhao leaned on the door and crossed his arms, "Grandmaster-level." "At his peak, he was actually a Grandmaster cksmith, who was very close to Saint level..." "No, he''s about to be a Saint-level Swordsmith now." Thunderclouds appeared above Shimotsuki Vige. BOOM! Thunderp echoed. Huo Yuhao peeked at the sky, "Even the Tiny World''s natural order is testing Old Man''s will." "Hehe, interesting." Kozaburo visibly aged in Kunia''s vision, making the young girl clutch her father''s sleeve. "Father, is Grandpa going to be fine?" "He will..." Koushiro answered tearfully. "He will reach a higher realm." "HAHAHA~!" Kozaburoughed like a madman. "LET THE HEAVEN WITNESS MY FINEST CREATION!" A thunderstrike descent. BOOOOOOOOOOM!! Huo Yuhao stretched his hand, and an invisible shadow covered the vige, repelling the thunderstrike. Cough! Kozaburo looked like his previous old self, coughing blood profusely at hisst masterpiece. He grabbed the warm sheath and walked to Huo Yuhao, pressing it on his chest. "Brat, I fulfill my promise..." "This is my win." He grinned foolishly at him. Huo Yuhao calmly looked at him, "Normally, I won''t admit defeat, but alright." "This is your win." "Hehe~!" Kozaburo''s eyes lit up and then dimmed. He fell, kneeling on the ground. "Father!" "Grandpa!" Koushiro and Kuina looked down while Huo Yuhao looked up. Kozaburo''s soul floated, ''Don''t forget... Take care of my granddaughter.'' ''If possible, take her as your disciple.'' ''Oy, you''re asking too much.'' Huo Yuhao''s eyes glimmered. ''Haha, remember, the winner takes all!'' Kozaburo''s soul became faint and then disappeared. The result of getting overworked, even his soul perished by making items that defy natural order. Huo Yuhao examined the sword''s sheath in his hand, "Old Man, doing you a favor would change this timeline, but so be it." "To think I will ept a disciple." Chapter 318: Shin-Tsubame, Disciple, and False Death Chapter 318: Shin-Tsubame, Disciple, and False Death --- Chapter 315 --- A white-blue sheath lies on the table. It is mainly blue, with white clouds marking it like the azure sky with heavenly clouds. Besides those, the sheath has brown cords wrapped on the opening side, parting like bird wings. [Name: Shin-Tsubame (True Swallow)] [Type: Weapon/Sheath] [Grade: EX(Entry)] [1st Power - Spirit Bestowment: Absorb nature''s energy and infuse it into the sheathed sword, granting additional effect on the sword based on the surrounding area] [2nd Power - Fleeting Swallow: Lighten the sense of the sword like that of a swallow''s wings, gliding along the wind and increasing attacking speed significantly][3rd Power - Avian, Cry of Spirit Bird: Release a domain of crying divine swallow, causing an irresistible weakening effect of physical strength and soul to the enemy] [Description: A sheath created by the Legendary Swordsmith Shimotsuki Kozaburo, who poured everything into his final masterpiece. His wish is to allow his creation to soar alongside Huo Yuhao''s sword, like a swallow in the dawn of day] [Something that native of Tiny World shouldn''t make...] "Shin-Tsubame." Huo Yuhao caressed the sheath gently. He grabbed Hydrogen and sheathed it, creating a synergy between the dull sword and white-blue sheath. They are Ex-grade respectively and qualified to be a Divine Tool as one. Shin-Tsubame''s first ability allows Hydrogen to absorb natural energy, increasing the effectiveness of the Universal Battery. Huo Yuhao doesn''t know how Kozaburo could know Hydrogen''s ability, but this can''t be a coincidence. Heck! The second power pair wells with Hydragon''s offensive ability. Everything that this sheath could do enhances the dull sword''s performance exponentially. Aside from the Shin-Tsubame''sst ability, that is. Huo Yuhao needs to test it further to know. Huo Yuhao gazed out the window and saw Koushiro and Kuina paying respect for Kozaburo after burying him beside his wife''s grave. They returned to the dojo, and Kuina''s eyes were all red. Huo Yuhao knew this was an inappropriate moment to ask Kuina to be his disciple, but he had no choice because he was short on time. He gazed at Koushiro and said, "Besides creating his masterpiece, Old Man has another wish." "Just tell me, Young Master Huo." Koushiro smiled bitterly. "If it is my father''s wish, I would do anything to fulfill it." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "That should be my words." "Whatever." "Kuina-chan, do you want to be my disciple?" "This..." Koushiro was shocked. He didn''t expect his father to trust Huo Yuhao this much. He knew just how significant Kuina''s future was for the Shimotsuki Family and had been teaching her swordsmanship from a young age, but deep inside, he was protective because she was only a little girl. Leaving Kuina in Huo Yuhao''s hand means his father truly believed the blue-haired young man could lead his granddaughter to a better path. Kuina sobbed and stared at Huo Yuhao, "D-Did Grandpa want me to be your disciple?" "Yes." Huo Yuhao replied honestly. "Then, I will be your disciple!" Kuina wiped her tears. She only has two family members, her father and grandfather. One died today. She won''t let her father die. She would be the strongest swordsman and protect her family. Even though Koushiro had harshly said that a woman could never be the strongest swordsman, she wouldn''t give up. She will be like her dear grandfather, achieving the impossible. "Good." Huo Yuhao watched the burning spirit in Kuina''s eyes. Those eyes are like Kozaburo''s a while ago. He nced at Koushiro andmented, "Koushiro-san. If you want the best for my disciple, you won''t trample her dream here, right?" Koushiro puts on a helpless and bitter expression when Huo Yuhao asks this question. What could Koushiro do in this situation? He could only follow the flow and let his daughter away. It''s not like Koushiro could fight Huo Yuhao over this matter because thetter could easily make him bite the dust. The difference in strength is like mud to the sky. Koushiro sighed, "Kuina, greet your teacher." "Mm." Kuina walked to Huo Yuhao and kneeled on her knees. "Teacher, please take care of Kuina well." Huo Yuhao nodded, "I will." "Now rise." "Hai, Shishou!" Kuina stood up and felt Huo Yuhao''s warm hand on her head. He rubbed her head a few times, injecting his divinity and immortal qi into her body. ''To be called Shisou by someone, it doesn''t feel bad at all.'' ''Evo, make the awakening process as painless as possible.'' [Yes, Host] Kuina suddenly experienced a surreal sensation, and her body jolted as if she had gotten electrocuted. She gasped and made Koushiro worried for a second. Koushiro stared at Huo Yuhao and saw him shaking his head. The sses-wearing man could only grit his teeth and wait. A few minutester. Koushiro''s eyes widened because two spirits came from his daughter''s body. One is a small blue-tailed swallow, and the other is a small fairy in a purple dress wielding a small hammer. Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes at the swallow and spirit, "Old Man''s spirit really lives alongside her, huh?" "Azure-tailed Swallow and Clear Sky Fairy." "Twin Martial Souls." "Martial Soul?" Kuina breathed unevenly, feeling newfound strength in her body. Huo Yuhao smiled and exined, "Martial Soul is the reflection of your spirit. It is usually hereditary, but yours most likely strong variants." "Oh, yeah. It is actually from another world." "Wait, you mean you''re not from this world?" Koushiro was speechless. "I never said I was..." Huo Yuhao shrugged casually. "My world is called Douluo Dalu World, and we are a higher dimensional ne than this world, or should I say this Tiny World." "As for my position in the Douluo Dalu World... Let''s say Kuina won''t have to be afraid of anything besides training." "This is hard to swallow," Koushiro responded helplessly. "Young Master Huo is actually such a figure." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "Do you want me to awaken your Martial Soul as well?" "I''d love to." The marvel of another world, how could Koushiro reject it? Huo Yuhao nodded and walked to Koushiro, patting his shoulders. "Leave Kuina to me." He whispered simultaneously. "Please..." Koushiro chuckled, knowing Huo Yuhao wouldn''t treat his daughter horribly. A young man his father approved won''t be a terrible person. "This will shock you a little." Huo Yuhao awakened Koushiro''s Martial Soul, and the ss-wearing sword master shrieked in pain. "T-There is nothing little about that..." Koushiro replied painfully. He felt his body hit by a giant beast and then electrocuted by a lightning strike. "A small pricepared to what you can get." Huo Yuhao chuckled and saw a small sparrow with a stern look appearing on Koushiro''s other shoulder. "Wind Speech Sparrow." "Not a bad Martial Soul." "Here is a method of refining Spirit Energy and some Rune Stones to advance your cultivation while we are gone." Koushiro received new knowledge and a handful of Rune Stones with many colors. "The yellow is easiest to absorb." "The purple one is a bit harder, but I rmend you absorb it for your first spirit ring." "The ck is difficult because it possesses the remnant will of the spirit beast. Still, I think you can try absorbing after bing Spirit Elder." "As for the red one... Only absorb it when you''re ready to die, and challenge with life on the line." Huo Yuhao nced at Kuina, "Kuina, our time is short, so we should leave right away." Kuina reluctantly stared at her father and said, "Before that, Master. Can I say goodbye to my friend?" "Zoro?" "Yes, him." "Go, then. I will be waiting with your father here." Huo Yuhao allowed Kuina to go. Watching the girl walk away, Huo Yuhao nced at Koushiro andmented, "Zoro is your disciple, right?" "Mm," Koushiro replied calmly. "Let''s make a bet." "What bet?" "Which disciple would be stronger in the future? Although it would be unfair, so we onlypete in swordsmanship." "I see... Then, I don''t see why I wouldn''t ept." Thirty minutester, Kuina returned with a stream of tears. "Are you okay?" Koushiro asked, and Kuina nodded. "Teacher, I can go with you now." Kuina looked at Huo Yuhao with pure determination. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger, and his divine aura enveloped the vige, entering everyone''s mind. He doesn''t want to change the plot too much, so Kuina still has to die, a false one. Koushiro already agreed to this, believing it could motivate Zoro. "Hmm, you don''t bring Wado Ichimonji with you?" Koushiro was confused because he couldn''t find a white-sheathed katana in his daughter''s hand. Kuina smiled, "I gave it to Zoro." "I want to make my own Katana and forge a legend like Grandfather." "Haha, you truly like him." Koushiro couldn''t help but chuckle. "See youter, my dear daughter." "Father will miss you." "Mhm, me too." Kuina hugged her father. Then, Huo Yuhao brought Kuina to the sea cliff. "Kuina, meet your senior, Huang Qiu''er." "Qiu''er, met your junior, Shimotsuki Kuina." After the introduction, Huang Qiu''er and Kuina stared at each other silently before giving a nod. [Host, I will start teleporting...] Evo notified Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao activated the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and wiped the memory of his existence in the Shimotsuki Vige. The only exceptions are Koushiro and Zoro. The green-haired brat''s memory was ''specifically'' sealed by Huo Yuhao. On top of that, Huo Yuhao also erased every trace he left behind in this timeline. "Goodbye, Zoro." Kuina stared at the Shimotsuki Dojo in the distance. "Let''s meet again in the future." ZZZT! Huo Yuhao, Huang Qiu''er, and Kuina disappeared from the sea cliff. ... ... The next day, Zoro woke up with a searing headache. When he saw Kuina''s cold body and her face covered with white clothes, his eyes couldn''t help but tear up. That day, Roronoa Zoro vowed to be the Strongest Swordsman, not because of himself but because he inherited Kuina''s will and dream. Chapter 319: Stasis Timeline, 96 Resets Chapter 319: Stasis Timeline, 96 Resets (AN: At this point, I might upload 4 Chapters per Week, hehe) --- Chapter 316 --- BOOM! A pir of seawater rose to the sky. "Master!" Two shouts echoed. "Calm down." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. As soon as they got teleported to the new timeline, they were greeted with an open ocean and crashed straight into it.Fortunately, the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that Huang Qiu''er ate doesn''t have a weakness other Devil Fruits have. She could swim freely in the ocean without getting affected by Oceana''s curse. As for Kuina, Huo Yuhao hasn''t nned to let the little girl eat any Devil Fruit, though some Zoans in his inventory suit her. She''s also a skilled swimmer. Huo Yuhao used telekinesis and lifted them both from the ocean, "Let''s look for an ind first. I don''t know which timeline we are currently on." "I hope it''s not too chaotic." They explored the area and finally saw an ind. It was a massive ind with towering mountains left and right, reaching the white clouds. Landing on the beach, Huo Yuhao dried Huang Qiu''er and Kuina with his new me and made themfortable enough. "Are you okay now?" Huo Yuhao asked them. "Yes." Huang Qiu''er didn''t mind being wet. "Mm." Kuina breathed in and out, adjusting her breathing due to the sudden change of atmosphere. Huo Yuhao nodded at their condition and asked Evo, ''Evo, where are we?'' [Wait, let me scan the area first] [Scanning...] [You''re in the gap between timelines] [This ce is weird. The space and time are stable, unlike the previous one] ''But since you sent me to this timeline, doesn''t that mean one of the girls is here?'' Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. [Exactly] [The problem is there is no problem with this timeline] [It''s just too stasis ] [Host, look at the sky and ocean] Huo Yuhao raised his gaze and saw the azure sky with white clouds but noticed the clouds didn''t move. Then, he looked down at the ocean and noticed no ripple or movement. "This is not good." [Yes, this is not good] [You have to find the source of this extreme timeline stasis condition] Huo Yuhao activated Heavenly Dao of Space-Time, observing the realm''s status in real-time. His frown deepened because he couldn''t find anything wrong with this timeline. "What if I use Paradox Dust?" "No, that would reset this timeline..." "What should I do?" Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Roar! A beastly roar disturbed Huo Yuhao and others. They turned around and saw the trees on the massive ind shaking, uprooting themselves. Huang Qiu''er pulled her Golden Dragon Spear and used Huanglong''s power, causing yellowish-golden scales to grow on her skin. Kuina stood behind Huo Yuhao, not wanting to be a burden for him. She is still too weak right now. Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and saw a sabertooth tiger pouncing out of the woods. The tiger is over twenty meters, covered in orangish-white furs, and has fierce saber-like fangs sticking out of its mouth. Kuina''s eyes widened, "So big..." "This is the outside world? How dangerous." "Qiu''er." Huo Yuhao wasn''t interested. "On it, Master." Huang Qiu''er turned into a stream of golden light. She swung her Golden Dragon Spear and turned into a golden-scaled flood dragon, swimming in the air andshing its strong tail like a whip. Bam! The flood dragon''s tailwhip struck the sabertooth tiger and sent it hurtling through the air like a ragdoll and shrieking in agony. Kuina was awed by this sight because she had never seen such a strong woman. Even the most powerful man in the Shimotsuki Vige, her father, might not be able to defeat this senior sister of hers! Huang Qiu''ernded on the knocked-out sabertooth tiger and said with difficulty, "Master, I knocked this fellow cold." ''It didn''t die in one hit.'' Huang Qiu''er pouted in displeasure. She has controlled Huanglong''s power well enough not to go on a rampage and even created her own technique based on Draconic''s evolution. The one she used earlier is the third stage of four stages. After one week of intense training, Huang Qiu''er created four stages of Huanglong''s power. Golden Carp, Fish-Dragon, Flood Dragon, and True Dragon. Even then, she doesn''t seem able to utilize Huanglong''s true power. Although Huo Yuhao said this was enough, she wanted more. Huo Yuhao went to the fainted sabertooth tiger and invaded its mind with mental power, searching for relevant memories about this timeline. A few secondster, his expression darkened. "I didn''t expect this to happen." "We actually entered a timeline with a time loop." [Time reset, now that makes sense] [Looking at the state of this timeline, the time loop''s reset should be...] [At the end of a thirtieth day] "At the end of a month." Huo Yuhao replied. "Well, we are stuck here for a while." "I will try finding the anomaly somehow." [I think you forgot one crucial piece of information, Host] [The timeline will reset constantly, but you and two other girls won''t] [You will still age in this stasis timeline] "Yeah, this will be a fantastic ce to train." Huo Yuhaomented self-mockingly. "God knows how long I''ll be trapped here." With that, Huo Yuhao also started teaching Kuina about Spirit Master and many other fields. However, he mainly focused on swordsmanship and cksmithing. Kuina is a once-a-century genius, and her swordsmanship has reached the finest stage in the Shimotsuki Vige alone. Unfortunately, she died in canon. That won''t happen with Huo Yuhao''s appearance, though. ... ... Eight years and ny-six resetster. A blue-haired youngdy swiftly ran into the woods, dodging the chase of several gigantic beasts. She wore a white-blue dress with two katanas on her hips, each gleaming with faint divine lights. Arriving at the end of the path, a deadly cliff with an endless bottom, the blue-haired youngdy stopped. She turned around and frowned, "Phantom is annoying." "Master said Phantom''s number doubled every reset, and it seems the theory is true. All we need to do is kill you guys until the Phantom Lord appears, and we can exist in this god-forsaken ce." Roar! An armored tyrannosaurus pounced on her. ''Kuina, you will be the strongest swordsman. No, you will be the strongest sword goddess, so remember these words well.'' A warm voice echoed in her head. ''No matter how difficult it was, don''t give up.'' Kuina smiled and pulled out one of her self-made katanas, drawing it with the finest. Water dripped from her de, and a giant fish-like shadow with vast wings appeared and loomed over the cliff. At the same time, seven ck spirit rings hovered around her. "In the name of Azure Sky, Verdant Sword Art." Kuina pointed the katana at the armored tyrannosaurus. "Waterfall Crashing the Sky!" Kuina moved in a straight line, passing through all Phantom on her path, and sliced them in half. She sheathed her katana and eliminated all enemies. ROAR! A draconic roar reverberated on the ind. Kuina gazed at the distance, "Sister Qiu''er is going to break through." "It must be good toprehend Concept and make her own Divinity." "I made no progress in Concepts after eating Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Kun-Peng three years ago." "Well, Master should be there, too." "I can''t make him wait." When talking about her master, Kuina felt no better man existed. He''s gentle, strict, loveable, and handsome! With a woosh, Kuina spread her arms and transformed into a giant blue swallow with a fish-like tail. BOOOM! Kuina broke the sound barrier and traversed thousands of miles in an instant. At the same time, a majestic yellowish-rose golden eastern dragon swam in the sky and fought with ck thunderclouds. ROAR! The dragon spat thunderous fire breath, parting the thunderclouds apart and revealing a clear sun. "Sun of Destiny!" An enchanting voice shook the realm. A godly presence descended, and the dragon experienced aplete metamorphosis with seven colorful divine rings. A beautiful halo crown manifested above her head. The eastern dragon glitched, and what appeared next was a beautiful young woman in a ck-blue dress. She also possessed the halo crown above her blue-golden hair, with a pair of gem-like blue draconic eyes. Watching this atop a mountain, a blue-haired young man in a navy blue robe smiled proudly. "Another goddess has ascended." Chapter 320: Eight Years of Accumulation Chapter 320: Eight Years of umtion --- Chapter 317 --- "Eight years." Huo Yuhao sat in a hut while getting his shoulder massaged by Huang Qiu''er. Who would have thought the newly ascended goddess would serve a man like this? But this is normal. After all, the man Huang Qiu''er served is her Master and Dragon''s Mate. "Eight years feels short in this timeline. We don''tck food, clothing, or other ''basic'' needs as they would reset and appear again every thirty days, but I will never stop waiting for that damned Phantom Lord." Huang Qiu''er smiled warmly, "Master, you shouldn''t stress yourself too much. Sooner orter, that rat-like being will appear.""You''re right." Huo Yuhao sighed, leaning on Huang Qiu''er. Their rtionship has be much closer. Even though Huo Yuhao can''t grant Huang Qiu''er a wife status yet, their pact is basically marriage after eight years. [Name: Huang Qiu''er (True)] [Race: Auspicious Dragon Goddess] [Age: Approximately 17,000(mentally 25)] [Martial Soul: Auspicious Dragon Emperor(12+), Three-Eyed Heavenly Lion(9+), Frying Pan((+)] [Concept: Huanglong, Luck, Destiny, Cuisine] [Devil Fruit: Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Huanglong] [Cultivation: Level 121/1st ss God] [Battle Prowess: Level 125/Mid-Tier 1st ss God)] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: Dragon Lady Who Governs Luck and Destiny, Lady in the Endless Roses, Tyrannical Cook, Heaven-Destroying Pan Wielder, Huo Yuhao''s Wife] [Description: A heroine with a very fulfilled life, embracing the dearness of her Master and Mate] Huo Yuhao nced at the status panel and sighed because Huang Qiu''er had grown so much in eight years. If not for the Tiny World''s restriction, she might be able to be even stronger. A few days after getting trapped in this timeline, Huo Yuhao immediately searched for a way to escape this ce. He returned the Concept Stabilizer to the Eternal Virgin and asked him for advice, but thetter and other Techno Archons told him to enjoy it while he could still stay inside. They said it was Huo Yuhao''s great fortune to find the endlessnd of treasure. However, Huo Yuhao didn''t think this ce was a fortune and more like a curse to him. Even when Huo Yuhao asks his customers on Channel 77, they are jealous of him. Left with no choice, Huo Yuhao could only develop silently in this stasis timeline. He trained himself, Huang Qiu''er, and Kuina. Huo Yuhao maxed his Concepts and reached the Law Realm with some of them. Oh, yeah. Besides that, Huo Yuhao also mastered the Pagma''s Incarnation and Netherworld Avenger ss within the first six months. He has obtained the Bearer of Waves'' Legend Book and six Ancient Legacies. Too bad Huo Yuhao couldn''t use these fancy rewards because they got sealed until he returned to the Douluo Dalu World and fused back to his ''true'' body. Did Huo Yuhao be stronger? The answer is yes but with a price. His cultivation base didn''t raise even a level. Any other skills have reached their thresholds.

"Master, Sister, I''m back!" A cheerful voice entered the hut. "Wee back, Kuina. How is your harvest today?" Huang Qiu''er asked her fellow blue-haired disciple. Kuina pouted, "Phantoms sucks. They wanted to corner me on the Sky Cliff, but I sliced them effortlessly." "What about you, Sister Qiu''er? You finally broke through and fully ascended to godhood?" "Mm." Huang Qiu''er nodded calmly. "All thanks to Master." Huo Yuhao nced at Kuina and couldn''t help but realize the girl he took due to Kozaburo''s favor had be a fine young woman. Time affects them here, unlike any other being on the ind. [Name: Shimotsuki Kuina] [Race: Third-Wave Primeval Human] [Age: 18] [Martial Soul: Azure-Tailed Swallow(7+), Clear Sky Fairy(7+)] [Concept: Kun-Peng, Sword, Azure Sky, and Ocean, cksmith] [Devil Fruit: Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Kun-Peng] [Cultivation: Level 77/Saint Realm] [Battle Prowess: Level 90/Half-Step Douluo] [Potential: SSS] [Rmended Path: Sky-Breaking Sword Lordess, Girl in the Storm of des, Divine Swordsmith, Primeval Sword Goddess, Dragon Nest''s Commander, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] [Description: A girl who defied her Canon Event due to her Godly Teacher, thriving on a new path of happiness] "Good job, as usual, Kuina." Huo Yuhao smiled at his disciple. He didn''t let her grow too much in the cultivation base and focused on training her skills. And from the looks of it, Kuina developed nicely. "Let''s celebrate your Senior''s breakthrough with a feast." "I will cook this time." "Really, Master?!" 2x. Huang Qiu''er and Kuina were excited. On rare asions like birthdays or other celebrations, Huo Yuhao usually cooked for them. Those were divine experiences. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Why would I lie to you?" "Wait a few minutes." He stood up and went to the kitchen. Huang Qiu''er and Kuina stared at their Master''s back, longingly waiting for his dishes. They nced at each other, and a fierce lightning shed from their intense gazes. ''Master''s cooking is mine! He celebrates my breakthrough!'' Huang Qiu''er proudly lifted her big breast. Kuina enviously stared at the twin mountains, ''I will eat more than you, Sister!'' ''You will never win against me, a Goddess!'' ''I will also be one soon, too!'' ''Still, my win.'' Eventually, they stuffed their stomachs to the brim with Huo Yuhao''s cooking. After the feast, Huo Yuhao walked out of the hut and looked at the lower mountain''s scenery. This ce is the highest spot on the ind, allowing Huo Yuhao to observe everything without any ability. It was a pleasing location to live in over thest eight years. Huo Yuhao pulled something from his pocket and lit it up before putting it in his mouth. He doesn''t remember when he started smoking, but it helps him think amidst the annoyance and frustration. The cigarette is made with heavenly medicines and won''t affect Huo Yuhao''s health. "What is that?" He puffed out a smoke ring and saw a meteor falling from the starry sky. Swoosh! The meteor is actually a massive clear jade crystal. Huo Yuhao used the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and even spread his Divine Sense, only to find one of her partners inside the crystal. A Milf is sleeping inside the crystal! Chapter 321: Raikous Appearance, Last Clue, and Kuinas Blacksmith Skill Chapter 321: Raikou''s Appearance, Last Clue, and Kuina''s cksmith Skill --- Chapter 318 --- Raikou! Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened in disbelief because he saw one of the girls, Minamoto-no-Raikou, sleeping inside a crystal that fell from the sky. However, he couldn''t help but question her sudden appearance. Why now? After eight years of monotonous days, Huo Yuhao became overcautious regarding random events and things. He has prepared enough to fight the Phantom Lord with everything he has umted. "Evo, did you sense any negative signs?"[No, Host] Huo Yuhao sighed in relief and vanished from the mountain peak, arriving at the crystal''s side. He grabbed the falling meteor-like crystal with one hand and stopped as if it were a fallen cotton. He stared into the crystal with the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and noticed Raikou was in a deep sleep. Even her soul is asleep. Kacha! Huo Yuhao put a bit of strength into the crystal to shatter it into pieces, leaving the perfectly intact Raikou. The milfy servant is still wearing the summer dress with a white coat above it. [Her soul is in a state of Eternal Sleep] [You can''t wake her up with a mon'' method] [It''s...] "It''s a curse, I know." Huo Yuhao already diagnosed Raikou''s condition. Medical Skill is one of many things that Huo Yuhao developed after being trapped in the Stasis Timeline. Thankfully, he had abundant test subjects here. As Huo Yuhao thought of a method, his eyes suddenly lit up. Huo Yuhao used the Concept of Plundering, robbing the Eternal Sleep''s curse from Raikou''s soul. He also used the Cursed Divinity from the Cursed God to swallow the curse. [Ding! You have swallowed Phantom Dream Curse] Huo Yuhao digested the power of the Phantom Dream Curse and snorted as he looked up. "There, huh?" "No wonder I couldn''t find something wrong about this realm." He gazed at the full white moon in the sky. Even though the''s side is still in the middle of the day, the white moon still hangs in the sky. The sun is still the brightest, providing the perfect cover for the moon. "Little Bastard, I finally found you." Huo Yuhao carried Raikou like a princess and stepped into the mountain peak, folding the space like a walk in a park. Huang Qiu''er and Kuina are puzzled by his sudden disappearance, but their eyes widen at the sight of the unconscious Raikou. "This is..." Kuina doesn''t know Raikou, but Huang Qiu''er does. Huang Qiu''er hurriedly entered the hut and prepared a futon for Raikou, allowing Huo Yuhao to ce the sleeping milf on it immediately. "Master, this person is?" Kuina curiously looked at the motherly woman. Huo Yuhao smiled, "My woman." Kuina raised her eyebrow at his answer, but Huang Qiu''er found nothing wrong because Raikou was definitely Huo Yuhao''s woman. "Her name is Minamoto-no-Raikou. She was one of the girls like Qiu''er who followed me to this world." He added gently. "I have been looking for her for the past eight years. Today, I found her in the falling crystal meteor." ''Master''s smile...'' Kuina knew Huo Yuhao was gentle, but she had never seen him this gentle before. Unknown to Kuina, Huo Yuhao was even gentler when he was with Huo Yun''er, Qianye Ying''er, and Scathach. Huang Qiu''er sat beside Huo Yuhao and asked, "When will Ms. Raikou wake up?" "Soon." Huo Yuhao answered calmly. "I''ve already removed the curse from her soul." "Curse?" Huang Qiu''er frowned in displeasure. Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes, presumably from the moon." "The only ce I haven''t visited due to being too upied with narrow vision." "So, the Phantom Lord is there?" "Most likely. I haven''t visited the moon, so I can''t be 100% sure." Huang Qiu''er was excited. They finally could escape this god-forsaken ce and continued searching for other members. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and added, "We will strike at night." "This time, I won''t do it half-assedly." "I will assist you, Master." Huang Qiu''er assuringly smiled because she had ascended to godhood. "Me too!" Kuina didn''t want to get left behind. Huo Yuhao rubbed Kuina''s head. This adorable disciple ispetitive with her senior sister. She is also fierce. The fierceness is that of a cat. Kuina pouted because her master still treated her like a kid. She''s a full-grown woman and wishes thetter could see her appeals. "Let''s test your cksmithing skill." Huo Yuhao diverted the topic. "How manyyers have you reached in the Burning Sky Hammer Technique?" Burning Sky Hammer Technique is the cksmithing art that Huo Yuhao developed over thest eight years. It is a weaker version of Pagma''s cksmithing but more suitable for females, especially for Kuina. This technique has no level cap because one canprehend how to create something infinitely. Theyers Huo Yuhao mentioned are just an indicator of how well Kuina has reviewed her skills, tempering them again and again. Kuina awkwardly twirled her long blue hair, "Uh, about that." "I only managed to reach the 300thyer this morning." "300thyer?" Huo Yuhao was once again amazed by Kuina''s talent in cksmithing. "Your cksmithing skill already surpassed yourte grandfather." Yes, Huang Qiu''er stared at her junior like she was a monster. She also learned the Burning Sky Hammer Technique and could only reach the 169thyer after eight years. Kuina shook her head stubbornly, "But I haven''t reached Saint-level like Jiisan." Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. This girl is ambitious. Although Kozaburo reached Saint-level, it took him everything. Yes, even his life. For Kuina to reach the same level, she has to have enlightenment or polish her skills for three more years. She has too many things in her hand. Spirit Master''s Cultivation. Concept Visualization. Swordsmanship Training. And finally, cksmithing Training. She can''t be too good at them simultaneously. That would make her foundation weak. She''s not Huo Yuhao. But Huo Yuhao thrived to make Kuina a better version of herself. After that, Huo Yuhao and Kuina went to the mountain workshop. It was beneath their hut, enchanted with runes and spatial seals. Huang Qiu''er obviously stayed, wanting to take care of Raikou. ... ... Workshop. The sound of a hammer hitting iron echoed in the cave wall. The burning forge lit up the area, framing a blue-haired youngdy in her training. nk! Ckank! Kuina summoned her Clear Sky Fairy and held an azure-ck hammer in her right hand. The little creature imitated Kuina''s movement, creating shadows in the air. The shadows struck hot iron, shaping it. Huo Yuhao sat on the side, watching her silently. His mood lifted because Clear Sky Fairy is such a versatile Martial Soul. Its function is simr to his Palu. In fact, Huo Yuhao was very careful when guiding Kuina to develop the Clear Sky Fairy. One wrong mistake when absorbing Spirit Ring and Clear Sky Fairy would get ruined forever. [Name: Clear Sky Fairy (Awakened)] [Type: Tool-type/Living Spirit (Variant)] [Potential: SSS] [Description: A mutated Clear Sky Hammer that developed the spiritual form of a fairy, possessing destruction and creation power. The Clear Sky Fairy has undergone a second awakening and gets a little wisp of Neb Thunderfire, enhancing its origin further] [Essence me: Neb Thunderfire''s Wisp (99.5% Sealed)] [Spirit Skill: Shadowy Sky, Sunny Sky, Cold Sky, Cloudy Sky, Azure Sky, Royal Sky, Clear Sky Fairy''s Avatar (Sky Queen)] Even though Clear Sky Fairy''s spirit skills sound simple, each possessed the ability to aid Kuina in battle and cksmithing. Kuina could control the weather in an open space. Meanwhile, she could use her spirit skills in a closed ce like this to assist her cksmithing. After hammering hot iron for minutes, Kuina is ''awfully'' drenched in her own sweat. She breathed and forced herself to do one more hammer strike, marking the 100,000 tempering. BAM! Huo Yuhao gazed down at the shiny piece of iron on the anvil. Kuina has tempered it thoroughly, making it stronger than some heavenly mineral rocks. She even imbued it with her spirit, granting it spirituality. "That''s the 100 pieces," Kuina murmured. "With these, I can do it." Huo Yuhao smiled, "Are you nning to make another de?" "I thought Crownless and Irony have treated you well all these years?" Huo Yuhao is talking about Kuina''s katanas. Kuina made her first weapon, Crownless, six years ago. Her second weapon, Irony, was three years ago. Kuina rubbed her nose, "Crownless and Irony are my good friends, but they can''t keep up with me. I can''t be too emotional with them." "But I will definitely make them strongerter!" "Well, I will support your decision." Huo Yuhao chuckled. "So, what are you going to make?" Kuina looked down at her hammer and then beamed smugly at Huo Yuhao. "I want to try new things. So, I will make a Tachi!" Chapter 322: Rain Gouger, Raikous Awakening Chapter 322: Rain Gouger, Raikou''s Awakening --- Chapter 319 --- Kuina never ceases to surprise Huo Yuhao. A Tachi, huh? Even though Tachi is just a slightly longer and curvier Katana, the truth is more than that. The cksmithing technique required to make one is also vastly different. It is definitely a challenge for Kuina. However, seeing Kuina''s determined expression makes Huo Yuhao sigh inside and believe in her ability. She has reached the 300thyer of the Burning Sky Hammer Technique. They will leave this Stasis Timeline soon, anyway.So, Huo Yuhao thinks it''s right for Kuina to make her third weapon. "Do your best." Huo Yuhao smiled while patting Kuina''s head. Kuina enjoyed the pats, ''I will definitely reach Saint-level this time!'' With that in mind, Kuina rested for an hour before returning to her forge andid down many materials, including the refined and tempered iron she had made earlier. She rubbed her palms together and summoned a deep purple me with a coppery-red core. It was the wisp of Neb Thunderfire Huo Yuhao gifted on her 17th birthday. For one year straight, keeping control over this wisp is more challenging than raising her proficiency in Burning Sky Hammer Technique. Even then, she sessfully tamed 0.5% of it. Don''t look down on a mere 0.5% of Neb Thunderfire''s wisp because it could burn the sky and dry the sea. Water bubbles appeared, which was the result of Kuina using Kun-Peng''s concepts in her works. She used the Mythical Beast''s power to help her control the Neb Thunderfire''s wisp. nk! nk! Kuina started hammering her nned materials, heating them with purple me and cooling them with water bubbles. Clear Sky Fairy assisted her, adjusting the five-meter area around her with the perfect atmosphere. As the materialsbined into an alloy, Kuina''s eyes lit up. ZZT! Faint electricity echoes in the workshop. "Heavenly Tribtion..." Huo Yuhao looked up and faintly smiled because dark thunderclouds appeared in the sky. He was familiar with this event because he had done it over a million times in the past eight years. "She is going to be a Saint-level cksmith." "However, this is not enough." Kuina''s hand trembled because fusing the materials alone consumed too much stamina and spirit energy. Even with the support of Clear Sky Fairy, the energy consumption exceeded her expectations. Kuina was puzzled. Eight years ago, Kuina witnessed how energetic her grandpa was making Shin-Tsubame, and each of his movements filled with endless vigor. Even when he aged visibly, he still hammered the hot iron like he was young. ''Don''t tell me females are weaker, after all.'' Kuina''s resolve shook for a moment. Then, Huo Yuhao''s stern voice stunned her. "Keep your hand on the hammer and hit the hot steel..." "If your resolve is this weak, you don''t deserve to be my disciple." "Show me what Shimotsuki Kuina can do!" Kuina''s body suddenly moved on its own. The hammer in her hand moved down and struck the hot alloy. That''s right. She doesn''t have to be confused. Male? Female? That doesn''t matter. All Kuina needs to know is that she was Huo Yuhao''s disciple. ''Yes, I want to make my Master proud!'' Kuina''s spirit is burning brightly. Unknown to Kuina, the seal on Neb Thunderfire''s wisp loosened slightly more, increasing her control to 0.8% now. Six ck and one red spirit rings appeared around the Clear Sky Fairy, causing it to grow into a more adult version of Kuina. Appearance aside, the Clear Sky Fairy also gained a halo, and her hammer became bigger, rivaling a war hammer. "Self-Created Spirit Skill, Thousand Shadowy Skies!" Clear Sky Fairy''s first to sixth spirit rings merged into one, bing a red spirit ring. With two red spirit rings, Kuina looks like a zing fairy queen with two divine halos. Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows because he didn''t expect Kuina to learn to merge her spirit rings independently. However, this sess is ''truthfully'' attributed to her spirit rings from a simr origin. Nine Weather Change Peacock is a rare spirit beast in Douluo Dalu. It was one rare species that only lived with one surviving member over the past 10,000 years, having the ability to manipte weather and atmosphere. The system described the Nine Weather Change Peacock with nine beautiful plumes, each containing its Weather Changes'' power. It was a lucky catch, to be honest. After killing Nine Weather Change Peacock, Advalon copied the gic codes and origins, allowing more to appear and harvest. Even then, the chance of this spirit beast appearing is low. Coincidentally, Huo Yuhao got twelve runes with Nine Weather Change Peacock''s spirit rings, enough for Kuina to reach 1st ss God. Kuina didn''t realize her transformation and was pletely'' absorbed in making her third weapon. Swoosh! A thunderstorm descends to the mountain peak. Dragon-like lightning swam in the thunderclouds, eyeing the workshop. "Here ites." Huo Yuhao was about to lift a finger when a purple silhouette broke the thunderstorm. His eyes widened in disbelief. ''Raikou!'' At this moment, Raikou has awakened from her sleep and is ''thoroughly'' surrounded by pure electricity. Her eyes are pure white, making her look like a Thunder Fury Berserker. RRRAAAAAAAAA!! Raikou let out a battle cry. Her body bes more pronounced, having beastly traits and divine traits. "Thunder God Manifestation." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. Raikou''s hands transformed into sharp ws as she punched into the thunderstorm. She punched and punched, turning her hands into burnt crisp. But she doesn''t look like she was cared for by these mere injuries. Mad Enhancement enhances Raikou''s pain, which makes her stronger by getting damaged. At the same time, Huo Yuhao felt her origin core as Ushi of the Underworld evolved. This evolution also involves her legend and bloodline. As a matter of fact, Raikou was a God''s Child. She''s the daughter of Indra, the God of Rain and Lightning. Not Indra from Draconic Deus, obviously. But Indra from the Type-Moon Universe. Since God''s blood flowed in Raikou''s veins, she was bound to be extraordinary. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Raikou shed with the thunderstorm, and divine light started breaking off her body. At first, Huo Yuhao thought Raikou would develop the same divinity as Liu Mei as a fellow lightning wielder. But he was wrong. Before Raikou fully evolved, her divinity changed, or should Huo Yuhao say, be one with her affinity. [Name: Minamoto-no Raikou (Raikou)] [Race: True Divine Ox] [Age: Approximately 5,000 (mentally 28)] [Martial Soul: Evil Executing de(10+), Mother of Lightning(12+)] [Concept: Nurturer of Divine Lightning, Motherly God Berserker, Divine Ox] [Cultivation: Level 125/1st ss God] [Battle Prowess: Level 131/High-Tier 1st ss God] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: The Nurturer of Boundless Emperor, True Divine Mother Oxen, Sky-Crushing Thunder Berserker, Dragon Nest''s Eternal Guardian, Huo Yuhao''s Wife] [Description: A motherly servant who has experienced too long of loneliness, in dire need of Son''s Nutrients] As the thunderstorm and thunderclouds cleared, Kuina also finished her third weapon. nk! Kuina dropped to the ground, but Huo Yuhao quickly caught her. He stared at the de on the anvil and smiled, "Congrattions, you have reached Saint-level cksmith." A beautiful tachi lies on the anvil. It has a blue-silver de and jet-ck handle, like twilight in the azure sky. "Hehe, did I make you proud, Master?" Kuina giggled weakly. She consumed too much energy, sacrificing her spirit and blood. "You reckless disciple." Huo Yuhao poked her little nose. "Yes, I''m proud of you." "Now rest." Kuina stared at her proud creation and said, "I must name the Tachi first." "Hmm, I will call you..." "Rain Gouger." The de seemingly gained life after Kuina named it, glowing with faint blueness. After that, Kuina fainted in Huo Yuhao''s arms. Huo Yuhao shook his head bitterly, ''This disciple is stubborn like her grandfather.'' ''It''s in the blood, I guess.'' He stared at Rain Gouger and waved his hand, searching for a sheath for it in the Azure Emperor Vault. It was funny because Kozaburo made him a sheath, and now he wanted to give Kuina one. Ites full circle. "This one will do." A dark blue sheath fell from a blue portal and encased Rain Gouger, giving it afortable rest. Kuina didn''t know that her teacher had just given her a divine artifact. ... Huo Yuhao carried Kuina and Rain Gouger. He brought his disciple to her room and let her hug Tachi in her dream. After that, Huo Yuhao walked out of the hut. He stared at the lone figure on the edge of a mountain peak, gazing at the evening sky. Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened again. But it''s not because of Raikou''s new ascension to godhood. Her appearance has changed drastically. A white-haired beauty with a voluptuous body stood silently atop a snowy mountain. "Raikou." Huo Yuhao called her. Raikou turned around and saw Huo Yuhao. Her sad, beautiful face changed into that of pure joy. "Honey~!" She pounced on Huo Yuhao, hugging him tightly. Huo Yuhao chuckled and hugged Raikou back, giving her the warmth she had longed for years. Their lips met each other, warming this atmosphere even more. Chapter 323: Raikous New Path, Demolishing the Moon Chapter 323: Raikou''s New Path, Demolishing the Moon (AN: I just realized we reached 9 Million Views!) --- Chapter 320 --- Sitting on the edge of a mountain peak, Huo Yuhao and Minamoto-no-Raikou shared their arrival stories. From their exchanges, Huo Yuhao learned that the motherly servant got trapped by a being on the moon called Dream Devourer. The heartless bastard wanted to extract information from Raikou''s dream. However, how could it be easy? Even inplete entrapment, Raikou won''t ever betray Huo Yuhao and chooses to seal her soul inplete loneliness. So, she has been staying in a cold, dreamless realm for years. But this is fine. To Raikou, Huo Yuhao is her precious.The tenacity of a mother is unbreakable! Huo Yuhao caressed Raikou''s snow-white hair, "This doesn''t exin your ascension to godhood earlier, though." "I should thank you for that." Raikou smiled happily. You took the eternal sleep curse from my soul, allowing me to break the invisible shackles ced on myself. "You didn''t know this, but the Hero Summoning Card you used to summon me was actually unable to call all my legends." "In the dreamless state, those weakened legends that shaped me into a heroic spirit were about to scatter into the void, but your acts prevent it." "I shaped a new legend, bing a 1st ss God." "So, it''s like this..." Huo Yuhao understood the logic behind Raikou''s words. For heroic spirits, their legends shaped their concept of existence. Those legends were also the crux of their developed divinity if they wanted to be a God. Of course, Raikou has no such legends in Douluo Dalu or Tiny World. She could only improvise, attaching herself to Huo Yuhao and bing the Mother Goddess of Nurturer. She doesn''t want to destroy or kill. She only wants to be on her precious side, nurturing him. Of course, if danger happened to her precious, the mother could be a full-blown monster of destruction. That''s why Raikou couldn''t describe how happy she was when she saw Huo Yuhao in the flesh again. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao digested Raikou''s words, and his eyes widened in realization. "Wait a minute. Since your past legends are scattered, does that mean your Heroic Spirit''s skills and Noble Phantasm...." He looked at Raikou with a shocked expression. Raikou smiled faintly, "Mhm, I lost them." "Of course, I kept my personal skills, such as Eternal Arms Mastery, Mana Burst (Thunder God Manifestation), and Mystery-yer." "What you sensed earlier is not Mad Enhancement. It was an innate ability of the Divine Ox called Vitality Sacrifice." "I don''t regret this decision of mine. Opening a new page of life is better for me than being restricted by my past self, anyway." Actually, Raikou''s decision is the best decision she could make. Unlike Scathach, Raikou didn''t start with a nk te. She was a drawn painting that can''t change much anymore, and adding more details won''t help her either. Nevertheless, Huo Yuhao was happy for Raikou. "So, where is exactly this little bastard?" As they were talking, the sun had turned into a white moon. The sky also darkened. "Language." Raikou covered her mouth and giggled. "But you''re right, Yuhao Dear. This little bastard has to get punished." At this point, Raikou has dered aplete blood feud on the moon. Huo Yuhao smiled and thought of something. He opened a blue portal to the Azure Emperor Vault and grabbed some Divine Weapons he created. "Raikou, this is for you." "This is..." Raikou nced at the things Huo Yuhao showed. "Hundred (Hyaku Bus¨­)?" Huo Yuhao currently holds a silver-purple diamond, an upgraded version of the Hundred he developed in Stasis Timeline. Of course, this one is superior because one can unlock the Full-Body Armament immediately. It would rece Raikou''s body armor. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao didn''t add advanced weaponry besidesbat knives to this Hundred. "There are also a bow and arrows." Huo Yuhao showed his other hand. "Wow." Raikou''s eyes lit up. Since she lost her legends because of Dream Devourer, she also lost her weapons in return, and we don''t count the Evil Executing de because it was her Martial Soul. The bow in Huo Yuhao''s hand is a longbow made of divine wood over two meters long. He made the arrows with the same materials, except the arrowheads. They were ''purposely'' made with steel imbued with the curse of weakening and nullifying. Raikou received the bow and arrows, "They are good." "They are divine weapons I made. Of course, they are good." Huo Yuhao chuckled. He then exined the bow and arrow''s abilities, making the mother of the nurturer gasp in amazement. "What are their names?" Raikou asked curiously. "I didn''t name them... I put them based on codes." Huo Yuhao scratched his cheeks awkwardly. "Let''s say I made too many divine weapons..." "Hehehe, you''re cute, dear." Raikou giggled again. "How about I name them?" "Sure." "Let''s see... The bow will be the Red Wing, and the arrow is the Cursed Thorn." "Good enough, I guess." Huo Yuhao shrugged. He felt someone''s presence and turned around. "Qiu''er, have you packed everything?" Huang Qiu''er nodded, "Yes." As Huo Yuhao chatted with Raikou, he ordered Huang Qiu''er to pack the ind. He couldn''t erase his trace from this timeline, so he might as well bring the ind along. Too many things would go wasteful if he left them behind, including medicinal gardens, a workshop, a hut, and many other buildings. Now, you might wonder how Huo Yuhao could pack the ind. Huo Yuhao used Heavenly Daos, mainly Space, Time, and Myriad Shapes, to make a small dimension inside an artifact. The artifact''s name is World Catcher. Huang Qiu''er nodded, "Mm, I''ve ced the nodes all over the ind." She nced at Raikou and added, "Nice to meet you again, Ms. Raikou." "It looks like you''re doing well now." Raikou put on a wry expression because she pushed Huang Qiu''er away when waking up earlier due to the thunderstorm. She felt horrible and would do her best to make it overter. "Mhm... Master?" Kuina walked out of the hut dizzily. "Oh, who is this cutie?" Raikou asked Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao stared at Kuina and replied proudly, "She''s Kuina." "My disciple." Raikou''s eyes widened, "Your disciple? "I never thought you''d ept a disciple one day." "Hey, you make it sound like I can''t teach someone." Huo Yuhao joked back. Raikou smiled widely and walked to Kuina, hugging her with her motherly body. Kuina was suffocated but also felt the longing for joy in the depths of her heart. "Mom..." Kuina blinked awake. "Good girl." Raikou rubbed Kuina''s head. Kuina released herself from Raikou and red, "Y-You!" "Fufu, don''t be shy. I don''t mind being called mom, mother, or even mommy by a cute girl." Raikou stated. Huo Yuhao shook his head because he knew this would happen. Then, he introduced Kuina and Raikou to each other, though they already knew each other. After some humor and preparations, they gazed at the bright white moon in the night sky. "Let''s go." Huo Yuhao said while kicking the air. Huang Qiu''er transformed into Huanglong. Kuina transformed into Kunpeng. Raikou transformed into a Divine Ox, which could step into the sky to fly. The four of them ascended to the moon, charging at supersonic speed. BOOM! They broke the sound barrier, and several creatures suddenly fell from the sky. "Phantom!" Kuina red in annoyance. Huang Qiu''er opened her mouth, "Let me handle them." "Huanglong''s Luck-Stripping Roar!" ROOOOOOOOOAAAARR! Yellow beam escaped Huanglong''s mouth and wiped the fallen Phantom. "Senior, some of them are still alive." Kuina pulled her Rain Gouger swiftly, and clear water droplets dripped from her de, piercing the surviving Phantoms. Raikou saw this and praised Kuina in her heart. This girl is powerful, as expected of Huo Yuhao''s disciple. "Raikou, I give you the honor tond the first hit on the moon." Huo Yuhao smirked while summoning Jerna, the Heroes Sacrificial Bow. He didn''t n to fire an arrow, though. A white-bone spear with an ominous red tip already rested on the Jerna''s bowstrings. Raikou grinned happily, condensing her Divine Ox''s concept. She also used Vitality Sacrifice, firing a white beam of destruction that tore space and time. SWOOOSH! BOOOOOOOOM!! The moon was struck by the white beam, earning a hole. The moon trembled, revealing itself as a massive eyeball. Huo Yuhao stared at the eyeball, watching it twitch in anger. SWOOOSH! An energy wave washed the atmosphere, trying to put Huo Yuhao and others into a nightmare. Unfortunately, this mere trick is useless against Huo Yuhao. He already covered Huang Qiu''er and others with his mental power. ZZZZTTT~! A pleasant sound of electricity hissed from Huo Yuhao''s body. Huo Yuhao pulled the spear in his bowstrings, causing it to transform into a living dragon. His muscles twitched, showing how much strength he put into this attack. [Starlight Body] [Starlight Gaze] [Starlight Domain] [Moon Piercing Divine Intent] "Moon Leaping Dragon Roar!" Huo Yuhao released his pinch on the spear. DING! ROOOOOOOOAAAARR! A white-bone dragon swam into the void and struck the white moon, demolishing it instantly. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! The Phantom Lord didn''t even know what hit him and died instantly. [Ding! You have killed the Phantom Lord] [You have eliminated the anomaly in the Stasis Timeline] [The space and time recovered] [We are ready to go anytime, Host!] Huo Yuhao stretched his hand, "Plunder." [Ding! You have plundered Dream Devourer''s Ability: Break Dream, Shatter Soul] The remaining Phantom vanished because the Phantom Lord and thedies looked at Huo Yuhao in shock. That attack just now is terrifying. Gulp! Kuina swallowed her saliva in admiration, ''Master is the God among Gods.'' Huo Yuhao called the bone-spear back and tossed it alongside the Jerna into the Azure Emperor Vault. He turned around to them with a smile, "Let''s get out of this ce." Chapter 324: Captain Tian Meng, and a Gift from Afar Chapter 324: Captain Tian Meng, and a Gift from Afar --- Chapter 321 --- On a small ind, four figures appeared. They crashed to the ground and blew sand, creating a mushroom-shaped cloud. Pfft! Kuina coughed sand out of her mouth, "Why don''t we always have a safending?" "At first, we drowned, and now this." Huang Qiu''er brushed her shoulder and cleaned some dust, "Your skill iscking then.""Upon arriving at this ce, your reflex should have reacted quickly and used Haki to predict andndfortably." "That''s easier said than be done." Kuina feltfortable by the sand, and Huang Qiu''er waved her hand, sending a yellow beam that washed the small particles away. "Skill issue." Huo Qiu''er cast a friendly smile. "Hmph!" Kuina was annoyed. Even then, she still thanked Huang Qiu''er afterward for cleaning her body. As they bickered, Huo Yuhao and Raikou surveyed the area. They don''t have a problemnding like Kuina because their experience allows them to adapt quickly. Huo Yuhao breathed in and out, "What a nice change of fresh air." "I''ve been trapped in that Stasis Timeline for too long." "Fortunately, there is a huge time difference between such a ce and the outside world." "That''s true." Raikou agreed with Huo Yuhao. She had been trapped in the dreamless state for too long and wished to enjoy new scenery. However, Raikou still felt it was wasteful for Huo Yuhao to leave treasurednd like the Stasis Timeline. It was an infinite source of things, a strategic resource any faction would like to have, including Dragon Nest. Of course, Huo Yuhao didn''t think so. They already have Advalon, and the self-evolving dungeon is getting better and better each day, surpassing Stasis Timeline in terms of volume and space. Stasis Timeline''s gimmick isn''t enough to please Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao gazed at the distance, ''Evo, what timeline are we currently in?'' [Give me a second, Host] [Scanning] [We have arrived at the new timeline] [This is an ancient time of Ohara, times when the Tree of Knowledge just gets nted] Huo Yuhao''s face contorted slightly. The Tree of Knowledge is the basis of Ohara''s people, where they attempted to decipher Poneglyphs and got burned down alongside it by CP''s Buster Call. Celestial Dragons discovered that the people of Ohara wanted to dig into the history of the Void Century, which was possible because the Tree of Knowledge existed when the exiles had just recently arrived at the Tiny World. At the time, the warden hadn''t even shown themselves. "Where is Ohara?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly. [Go to the south] [You can use spatial transfer, but to be sure, using one of your ships is better] Huo Yuhao nodded and stretched his hand, creating a massive blue portal that spat arge white speedboat shaped like a shark with blue fins that act like exhausts. This speedboat is called Wave Crasher and is definitely the fastest vessel ever created in the Tiny World. Before Huo Yuhao could tell others to go onboard, a white mist entered the Wave Crasher and fired the honk a few times. "I shall be the captain of this ship. Call me Captain Meng!" Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched in helplessness and happiness because it seemed Tian Meng had awakened from her slumber. Unlike the Everlith Universe Incident, Huo Yuhao''s spirit souls apanied him this time. However, they are bound to exhaust themselves after staying out of Huo Yuhao''s ''true'' body for too long. So, most of the time, they slept in Huo Yuhao''s spiritual world. Their sleeping period spans one to two months, depending on how much energy they consume. From the look of it, Tian Meng has awakened after three months of sleep. [Name: Tian Meng] [Host: Huo Yuhao] [Race: Divine Spirit/Great Wisdom Sky Dragon] [Age: 2,000,000 (Mentally, 25)] [Concept: Knowledge, Sky Dragon, Spiritual Ice, Metamorphosis] [Cultivation: 6 Star Divine Spirit, 1st ss God] [Battle Power: Level 131, High-level 1st ss God] [Description: An entric Sky Dragon who metamorphosed from an Ice Silkworm, dreaming of bing the Emperor of the Sea] "This fellow..." Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched even more when seeing Tian Meng''s dream. To hell with the Emperor of the Sea, you''re a fucking dragon! He could only shake his head bitterly. He shouldn''t have told Tian Meng about One Piece''s plot and story. Unfortunately, being trapped for eight years is ''eventually'' bound to make someone bored and in extreme need of entertainment. Tian Meng wasn''t a monk. "Big Sister Meng!" Kuina happily waved her hand at Tian Meng. Tian Meng waved back. "Owh!" "Kuina, you''ve be taller again." "It seems this Older Sister''s beauty has affected you positively." "..." Huo Yuhao. "..." Huang Qiu''er. "Also... Hello, Raikou~!" Tian Meng winked at Raikou. "Cute." Raikou smiled when seeing Tian Meng''s antics. No, no, don''t call her cute. You''re enabling her extra self-esteem. "What are you waiting for, Yuhao? Get on the ship!" Tian Meng changed her character instantly. Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and jumped onto the boat. The girls followed him. Tian Meng nodded and searched for the power button, which left Huo Yuhao speechless. ''What kind of a captain doesn''t know how to use a ship?'' ''How unreliable.'' Tian Meng coughed and shamelessly asked Huo Yuhao, "How do I operate this ship?" Huo Yuhao facepalmed and sighed heavily, "The red button on the lower left corner. You know about the steering wheel and the lever beside it controlling the jet engine''s gears that would help you elerate the boat." "Before that, you might want to activate Wave Crasher''s protection system first. Click the green panel on your left." "Sankyuu~!" Tian Meng started Wave Crasher and then clicked the green panel. The Wave Crasher changed, and the open ck fell into the speedboat''s nose, looking like a great white shark''s upper and lower jaws. A water barrier appeared and wrapped the speedboat''s body. "Everyone, fasten your seatbelt!" Tian Meng pulled the lever up, causing the jet engine to roar with a blue energy ze. BOOOOOOM!! SWOOOOOOOOSH! The white shark speedboat traveled at breakneck speed, leaving a parted sea behind. It crashed into many tsunami-like waves, charging like nothing could stop it. Tian Meng grinned, "Captain Mang will find the One Piece!" "The One Piece is real!" Huo Yuhao sat on the sofazily and felt someone rubbing his head gently. Raikou caressed Huo Yuhao''s hair, "Do you know who we might findter?" He smiled, "I don''t know exactly." "We must get Robin, Mei, Valerie, and Rossweisse." "However, if I had to guess." "It''s probably Robin." "The ce we are going to visit is Ohara." "Her homnd?" Raikou blinked in realization. Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes, but technically no. We are going to visit the Ohara of the past." "But the connection is still there." "Shit!" Tian Meng suddenly cursed, throwing her wheel in anger. BAM! The Wave Crasher crashed into something. As they stopped, Tian Meng hurriedly spread her spiritual energy and roared angrily. ROOOAR! A dragon roar shook the sea. Tian Meng snorted, seeing the one who crashed into her ship was a metal box. Huo Yuhao waved his hand and transported the metal box inside the room, allowing Tian Meng to vent her annoyance. "This thing suddenly appeared out of nowhere." Tian Meng said with a frown. "The radar didn''t detect it." Huo Yuhao raised his brow and opened the metal box, revealing its contents. Cold light shed in Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes. Tian Meng snatched one of the contents. It was a letter. She read it out loud, "I hope you like my gift. Let''s meet at the summit of Endless Wave in the future." "Sincerely, your loyal waver minister." "There is no more..." Tian Meng flipped the letter around. It also burst into dust the moment she finished speaking. "Evo." Huo Yuhao called out. [Yes, the Unknown Universe finally reached out to you, Host] [As the inheritor of Ten Thousand Waves, this is a lucky chance] Huo Yuhao smirked, "But why do I feel this was provocation more than anything." Besides the letter, there is also a Devil Fruit and a White-Blue Robe. The robe is a Divine Equipment. As for the Devil Fruit, let''s say Huo Yuhao wasn''t amused. It was a Zoan Devil Fruit. [Cat Cat Fruit, Primeval-Type, Model: Primeval Wave White Tiger] Chapter 325: Primeval Devil Fruit and Unknown Robe

Chapter 325: Primeval Devil Fruit and Unknown Robe

I''ve added this fanfic to my P4treon Page, support me to read advanced chapter there and motivate me to write more chapters for you guys! /NineClouds69 --- Chapter 322 --- Far, far away. Several gxies spun in a void with a silver pir in the center. However, these gxies actually aren''t real gxies. They are beings who manifest their Immortal Aura. "You''re too rushed, Minister." A purple gxymented. "You know that the Young Lord might not be ready yet." "His fateful ascension shouldn''t be meddled, or he won''t survive against our order''s greatest enemy." A white-gold gxy trembled, "I did not meddle with the Young Lord''s ascension." "It''s just a small gift." Snorts echoed in the void. Like hell, these gxies wouldn''t buy into the blue-gold gxy''s excuse. "Small gift, your ass. Primeval Wave White Tiger is one of four Endless Wave''s Great Symbols. Giving it to the Young Lord would alert our enemy!" A red gxy was furious. "Don''t forget that the Minister also presents the Young Lord with the sealed Old Leader''s Robe. This little fucker is trying to sabotage our n to be lowkey." A yellow gxy added in all seriousness. "Beat him up!" A pink gxy roared with a high-pitched voice. "AAaah, have mercy!!" The white-gold gxy cries and gets bullied by his fellowrades. However, deep inside, he was emotional. He has sacrificed himself to get bullied for a couple of hundred years, so he hoped his Young Master would like the gift. ... ... ... Huo Yuhao didn''t like the gift at all. Anything rted to White Tiger always annoyed Huo Yuhao because of his past with the White Tiger n. Call him petty, but no one gets away from treating Huo Yun''er that badly. [It''s not time to get emotional, Host] [This Devil Fruit is unlike any Devil Fruits you encountered before] [If I''m not wrong, this was the one of the lost Primeval Symbol Beasts] [The degree of Universal Law contained within this Devil Fruit allows you to breach into Sixth if not Fifth, Omniversal Order] Huo Yuhao snorted, "I know." He must put this feeling aside for now. Even though Huo Yuhao''s White Tiger''s bloodline has integrated into War Beast''s bloodline, he can still feel it. Yet this Primeval Wave White Tiger exceeded his War Beast''s bloodline by miles away. He also believed eating this Devil Fruit would increase his level on the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves Technique. [Name: Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Primeval Wave White Tiger] [Type: Devil Fruit/Zoan (Primeval-Type)] [Grade: EXX+] [Description: Primeval Wave White Tiger was one of the long-forgotten Primeval Symbol Beasts and the only known kind to reach Omniversal Order''s level. Primal Wave White Tiger holds the Law of Reverse Spiral and Destructive Wave] [This Devil Fruit shouldn''t exist in the Tiny World, but its existence broke the fabric of reality] [Since the Primal Wave White Tiger''s power and secret followed the Tiny World''s rule, one needs to unlock the concept before proceeding to the next stage, which is Universal Laws] [Warning: The Primeval-type Zoan Devil Fruit contained the intact will of the Primeval Wave White Tiger. It is still a dangerous entity and could harm one''s soul into pieces] Huo Yuhao read the warning and frowned slightly. He wasn''t afraid of physical damage because he was ''physically'' immortal, but the one thing that could injure him was a soul attack from a higher Omniversal Order realm. Although Huo Yuhao has strengthened his divine soul, he was still cautious in taking this step. "Evo, will the Seal on my Soul protect me from the Primeval Wave White Tiger''s will?" Huo Yuhao decided to gamble. [That. I''m afraid I don''t have permission to know the details of the Seal on your Soul, Host] [It would be a gamble for you] [The odds of sess is 0.69%] [But I believe it''s worth a try] "0.69%? I like the odds." Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding and stored the Primeval Zoan Devil Fruit in the inventory. After the Everlith Universe Incident and eight years in the Stasis Timeline, Huo Yuhao wasn''t impulsive anymore. He knew he wasn''t omnipotent. That''s why he must prepare enough before eating this Primeval Devil Fruit. Huo Yuhao tore his attention from the Primeval Devil Fruit and nced at the second gift in the iron box. This thing is just as precious, if not more than the former. It was a tattered white-blue royal robe created with unknown silks and other materials. However, Evo''s scan couldn''t fully uncover those materials. The details of the robe are also full of question marks. [Name: Unknown Robe (Sealed)] [Type: Heavenly Garment, True Form (Sealed)] [Grade: ????? (EXX, Suppressed)] [Ability: ????, ????, ????, ????, Break Gxy Dawn Armor (Sealed)] [Description: An Unknown Robe from Unknown Origin, made with the best materials andws. Each thread of the robe possessed a heavenly aura that could weave worlds and universe together] [Unfortunately, you''re not worthy enough to wear this robe] [May you fulfill your destiny and ascend to your ?????] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched because he couldn''t use this robe at all, and there was no difference if he used it. Of course, owning it is a different matter. [Don''t get your spirit down, Host] [Infuse your Divine Soul''s power into the Unknown Robe to perform a soul contract with it, and you will get the Break Gxy Dawn Armor unsealed] Huo Yuhao nodded and pulled the white-blue robe, feeling it as light as a feather. He flowed his Divine Soul''s power into the robe. It slipped into his skin, bing one with him. Even though the white-blue robe had vanished, Huo Yuhao could feel it in the depths of his soul. The Heavenly Garment would need a lot of nourishment before he could use it. Yes, Break Gxy Dawn Armor got unsealed, and the price to use it alone made Huo Yuhao sigh helplessly. It''s like buying expensive gaming equipment, but your electricity can''t support it. Let''s say that even a filthy rich person like Huo Yuhao can''t afford it. Huo Yuhao either has to sacrifice all his Divine Soul''s power and divinity to even use the Break Gxy Dawn Armor for a few seconds or loan it with an Amethyst Upgrading Ticket. Yes, it is that expensive. Noticing Huo Yuhao''s expression, Raikou hugged him from behind and patted his head motherly. "Are you okay?" Raikou asked worriedly. Huo Yuhao sighed, "I''m fine." "Do you know who sent this iron box?" Tian Meng pointed at the iron box curiously. "Yes, so get your hands off it." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. "That thing could injure you." Tian Meng scoffed, "How can a piece of old iron box injure me?" "Argh!" Suddenly, the iron box zapped Tian Meng with intense electricity and stunned her to the floor. Huo Yuhao looked down on Tian Meng, "I told you already." "The box is made with a high-grade Divine Metal and carries a strong spiritual presence above your existence." "You''re lucky the iron box only zapped you." Kuina''s eyes lit up, "Master, are you nning to melt this iron box?" Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yes. This Divine Metal is usable for many things." "Can you give me a piece? A small one is fine." "Please~?" Kuina used her absolute puppy eyes technique. "Okay, I will give you a pieceter." Huo Yuhao chuckled in helplessness. "For now, let''s continue our journey to the Ohara." "Yey~!" Kuina cheered. Meanwhile, Huang Qiu''er quietly stared at the iron box and also nned to ask Huo Yuhao if he could upgrade her Golden Dragon Spear with it. After rearranging things, Tian Meng returned to her Captain Persona. Thankfully, the Wave Crusher wasn''t ''seriously'' damaged by the iron box, and the water barrier lessened the impact. Huo Yuhao waved his hand to use Pagma''s Incarnation ss''s skills, and the speedboat mended itself. Tian Meng activated the engine again, speeding up in the vast ocean. Huo Yuhao crashed to the sofa and silently stared at the ceiling of the control room, thinking about the legacy he linked with due to the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves. It is his fortune and misfortune. Karma. "It seems my way of thinking is still too naive, after all." "I need to get Tiny World under my control quickly and use the Small Universe Bag to store Tiny World and Myriad Heaven Realm, which should allow me to increase Douluo Dalu''s dimension higher." "But I can''t do this recklessly." "Before fusing the universe, I also need to neutralize Gods and Goddesses in the Douluo Divine Realm." "It seems Divine War is unavoidable." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes shed with a mysterious light. Chapter 326: Ancient Time Ohara Chapter 326: Ancient Time Ohara --- Chapter 323 --- A great white shark broke down several waves. It moved like a white sh and left behind a sonic boom. "We will reach Ohara in minutes." Tian Meng said while ncing at the radar on her control table. "I will start lowering the speed." Huo Yuhao nodded, "Mm." He silently meditated while thinking about his next steps after leaving the Tiny World. Even though he has erected the Anti-Divine Barrier around the Douluo, Tang San is stubborn. On top of that, Tang San would be desperate after their fight.If possible, Huo Yuhao wanted to exploit Tang San''s desperation. Who knows? Huo Yuhao might be able to destroy the bnce in the Douluo Divine Realm. And Huo Yuhao wouldn''t be alone in this matter. There are also Spirit Beasts led by the Silver Dragon King in the Star Dou Forest that Huo Yuhao could use as a diversion or meat shield. He doesn''t care if he is being cruel with such thoughts. "Master, Master?" Kuina called Huo Yuhao. "We have arrived at Ohara." "Sister Meng is currently hiding Wave Crusher underwater." Huo Yuhao blinked, "Okay." "Who wants to visit Ohara?" "Me!" 4x. Four of them responded immediately. "Who wants to stay?" Silence struck the control room. Tian Meng whistled and yed with her pirate hat, coughing like she had done nothing wrong. "Everyone, it is, then." Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. After putting Wave Crasher on standby mode, everyone appeared above the seawater and floated in the air. Huo Yuhao used his thoughts to control space with the Spatial Authority,nding on the lush ind. Ohara is not arge indpared to the ind Huo Yuhao stayed at in the Stasis Timeline for eight years, but it is spacious. He could see some vegetation and mounds, but what caught his attention was the tree in the ind''s center. Even though the Tree of Knowledge was ''recently'' nted, the sapling is over ten meters tall and has strong branches with lush green leaves. There is a faint ancient aura around the Tree of Knowledge, making Huo Yuhao sure it was a Heavenly-type n. It''s probably simr to the Ancient Golden Tree in the center of Sea God Lake in Shrek Academy. However, Huo Yuhao can''t be too sure. [Name: Tree of Knowledge] [Species: Overseeing Knowledge Tree] [Age: 11 months] [Description: The Overseeing Knowledge Tree originated from the Myriad Heaven Realm, possessing the ability to record information from the past, present, and future. All knowledge shall be stored in the Alpha Memory Leaves and can be used toprehend Concepts faster] [If Devil Fruit Users ate the Alpha Memory Leaves, they could awaken their Devil Fruit and learn about its Concepts] "This is amazing..." Huo Yuhao was stunned after reading the Tree of Knowledge''s introduction. This tree''s worth exceeds that of Mythical Zoans or Enhanced Logias. He could create an army of Concept Masters with it. Unfortunately, this Tree of Knowledge is too young. It couldn''t produce Alpha Memory Leaves yet. [The effect will be much better if you make tea using the Alpha Memory Leaves, Host] Evo suddenly remarked. [So, you should get your hand on the Tree of Knowledge''s saplings] Huo Yuhao nodded giddily, "Yes." But this information also confused Huo Yuhao. Did the Celestial Dragons also realize the worth of the Tree of Knowledge, but why did they destroy it in the future? As Huo Yuhao and others surveyed the ind, someone stopped them. "Halt! Who are you outsiders?" A stern voice weed Huo Yuhao. It was a muscr man in a white robe, something ancient Greek people used. Huo Yuhao stared at the muscr man and smiled, "Hello. We areing from the farawaynd in the name of pieces." "We don''t mean to trespass on the ind, but then sense Ancient Aura here." Huang Qiu''er stood beside Huo Yuhao and added, "Mm, I felt this ce holds quite an auspicious atmosphere." The muscr man frowned, "Ancient Aura? Auspicious." "Also, my name is Huo Yuhao, nice to meet you." Huo Yuhao added with a friendly tone. "Huo Yuhao... That''s an unusual name." Huo Yuhao chuckled, "People tend to say when hearing my name." "I felt deep knowledge from you." The muscr man nced around thedies before stopping at Tian Meng for some reason. "Are you perhaps a master schr?" Huo Yuhao froze on the spot, ''Oh, no.'' Tian Meng lifted her nose high and ran her mouth, "You can call me Master Meng." "I''m well-versed in all knowledge of the universe, but the ones I dabble with are Star Counting and Astral Divination." The muscr man''s eyes lit up, "I''m sorry for myck of insight, Master Meng. You must being here after sensing the Tree of Knowledge''s presence." "Umu!" Tian Meng nodded her head in all seriousness. Huo Yuhao was speechless, ''What are you Umuing for? You don''t know shit about the Tree of Knowledge''s presence!'' The muscr man bowed, "Master Meng, this little one''s name is Garam." "I''m a Schr of the Seasky Tribe." "Beside me, there are sixty other Schrs on the ind." "I see..." Tian Meng rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Let''s meet them, then." "Oh, also... Give my friend a tour around the ind." Garam grinned, "Leave it to me." After saying that, Garama unleashed a power simr to Divine Might but gentler and less oppressive. Soon, a jaguar came and greeted them. "Rororo~! I''m here!" Said the jaguar who speaks the humannguage. "Roro, escort these guests around Schr Ind," Garam ordered calmly. "Also, protect them from the shadows." Huo Yuhao raised his eyes when Garam mentioned shadows. It couldn''t be Phantoms, right? No, it must be Phantom. There are no creatures like that in Tiny World. "Rororo~! Follow me." The jaguar led Huo Yuhao and others around the ind. Tian Meng and Garam went in different directions, talking about random things on their way to the Tree of Knowledge. The Great Wisdom Sky Dragon winked at Huo Yuhao, ''Don''t worry, leave information gathering to me.'' Huo Yuhao sighed and nodded, ''I leave it to you, then.'' They walked around the edge of Schr Ind, or what people in the future called Ohara, and Roro the jaguar also exined a few things. Apparently, there will be a gathering of Schrs in a few days. All Schrs in this sea will meet on Schr Ind, discussing many topics and trying to uncover the secrets of this world. Huo Yuhao didn''t think much of their gathering at first, but then the second half of the jaguar''s exnation caught his attention. "Secret of this world?" Huo Yuhao asked the jaguar. "Yes, Rororo~!" The jaguar nodded. "Those with finite life spans always want to do the impossible." "Don''t you want to know why we exist?" "What are our roles?" "The world doesn''t just containnd, sea, and sky." "There is space beyond that azure sky." Hearing this answer, Huo Yuhao and others are surprised. They didn''t expect people of this time to have such a deep curiosity and sharp sense. To realize you''re mere ants in the box is an unbelievable attainment. But instead of wailing in despair, these Schrs gathered and debated about truth. Huo Yuhao pondered and asked, "Roro, do you know a Schr named Nico Robin?" "Roro, hmm..." The jaguar thought of something. "I don''t think there is such a person on the ind." "Nor this sea." "But I heard there was a famous Schr named Nico Roberta in the outside domain once." Suddenly, the jaguar''s furs stood up. He stared at the sky solemnly, "It''s them, Roro." "The Shadows areing." Huo Yuhao and others stared at the sky, seeing humanoid figures d in dark armor descent. They had no redeeming features, wore the same heavy armor, and looked very uniform. "Hurry, climb to my back! We must get out of this ce." The jaguar moved his gaze back at them. Huo Yuhao shook his head, "There is no need." "Kuina." "Yes, Master!" Kuina pulled her second katana, Irony. A dark-ded katana unsheathed, and the atmosphere changed instantly. She dragged the de across the air and entered a stance, "One Flower Petal Dance." "Blood Carving." Swoosh! A pair of blue swallow wings pped on Kuina''s back as she disappeared with afterimages, slicing toward the sky with a dead calm expression. SHING! A blood flower appeared in the sky. Kuina carved it with her sword, painting it with the enemy''s blood. She sheathed her katana back, and the sky cleared, leaving no armored Phantom behind. The jaguar saw this with his jaw dropped on the ground, "Fairy, she''s a fairy!" "Is this a sign of greatness?" Chapter 327: A World Made of Origami Papers Chapter 327: A World Made of Origami Papers --- Chapter 324 --- Roro was dumbfounded. ording to the Great Schr''s research, only those who trained Inner White''s Strength could have a chance of fighting or even killing the shadows. To have such a young girl kill all those shadows, just how powerful is her Inner White''s strength? Not even a Schr like Garam could fight like this. Huo Yuhao watched how easily his disciple killed the Phantoms and nodded in satisfaction because her strength was just as great as her cksmithing skills. He nced at the jaguar and read his thought, ''Inner White''s strength, huh?''''That must be Haki-! No, that must be the Divine Might''s version they used to repel these Phantoms.'' Divine Might is a perfectbination of Three Hakis after their highest stage, sublimating sense, power, and will into one authority over the natural cause. It''s tough to master, but Huo Yuhao did it in a month. With Divine Might, one could alter the world in a sense. But that depends on how powerful your will is. Imposing one''s will to a lower dimension is like dropping a drop of ink in clear water, forcing it to change, though it is ''essentially'' still more water than ink. The Schrs probably tweaked Divine Might to fit their mindset as those who think rather than fight. Huo Yuhao concluded after a few seconds, ''Weaker than the real Divine Might, but more manageable with less requirement, too.'' ''Also.... the aura is white, instead of dark like the wardens or blue like mine.'' If the Schrs on the ind knew Huo Yuhao could deduce their secret technique with such ease, they would be greatly shocked. But there are more details that even they didn''t know. Apparently, those who practiced Inner White''s strength couldn''t detect Huo Yuhao''s aura. It shows just how inferior the former was on many levels. It would be a fatal w if what these Schrs encountered was the wardens instead of Huo Yuhao. Kuina descended from the sky gently beforending on the rock near Huo Yuhao and giving him a peace sign, "Easy peasy." Huo Yuhao nodded, "Good job." "But don''t celebrate next time. There might be more enemy hiding after your blinding performance." "Hmm, where?" Kuina responded because her other hand was still on her katana''s guard. "I''m just saying." Huo Yuhao smirked at her. Kuina pouted, "You''re teasing me, Master!" ''Master?'' Roro was speechless. This blue-haired young man was the master of this sword fairy? The more Roro thought about it, the more confused he became. "Qiu''er, make a rune and energy barrier around the ind. As for Raikou, create an Eye of Thunder. I want to know where these Phantome from in an hour." Huo Yuhao ignored Roro''s dazed look. "Got it/Understood!" Huang Qiu''er and Raikou answered. They vanished and executed Huo Yuhao''s orders. Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and nced at Roro calmly, "You said there is someone called Nico Roberta, famous outside the domain. Do you know where this person is?" Roro shook his head bitterly, "This Schr is famous for being introverted, and only a handful of people could contact her. But people always spot her near the Coastline of Baltimore and Rocky Bridge Reefs." "Direction from this ind?" Huo Yuhao crossed his arms. Roro moved his head to the east and answered, "That direction." Huo Yuhao used his Divine Might and the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao, causing a faint blue light to explode from his pupils. If the timeline wasn''t so messed up, he could observe the whole, but he was limited to 100,000,000 miles for now. But the observation will be much better in a straight line, increasing the observation area by another 100,000,000 miles. Huo Yuhao''s gaze could see past the 4th and 5th dimensions. He could even see past the 6th dimension, but that would consume too much spiritual energy and not worth using for too long. After a while, the scenery of a stunning blue coastline with colorful reefs entered Huo Yuhao''s vision. He looked at every detail and spotted an origami boat floating in a still sea. A smile stered Huo Yuhao''s handsome face, "There you are." Robin''s Martial Soul is an Origami Paper. There is no possible way a Devil Fruit with simr power could replicate the presence of Robin''s spirit energy. A possibility exists, but Huo Yuhao denies it. Then, Huo Yuhao noticed something amiss about the origami boat as he couldn''t sense any life energy from it. Yet spiritual power is abundant in it. Huo Yuhao didn''t like the guest, though he was lucky. He gave Huang Qiu''er and Raikou a heads-up before grabbing Kuina''s hand and disappearing from the ind. Wooosh! Roro was left alone. He was terrified because Huo Yuhao and others vanished like ghosts. ... ... "Where are we going, Master?" Kuina asked as Huo Yuhao hadn''t shared his vision with her. Huo Yuhao stared ahead and answered, "To meet someone special." They reached the floating origami boat and caught a small hut of colorful paper. Kuina was amazed because, to her knowledge, such a heavy paper wouldn''t survive long in ake, more so in the ocean. "Robin, are you there?" Huo Yuhao brought his disciple to the boat andnded on the deck effortlessly. His voice echoed, but no one came to respond to him. Huo Yuhao frowned and walked to the hut, opening the door made of paper. He opened the door, and a portal greeted Huo Yuhao with a shing pink light. Kuina drew her katana, but Huo Yuhao stopped her. "Don''t." Huo Yuhao raised his hand and said calmly. "She''s here." "Robin is here." Swoosh! The surrounding coral reef and ocean be origami papers, swirling like a tornado around the boat. It didn''t stop there. The sky also tore itself, bing fluttering origami papers. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and opened them a secondter, seeing a lithe figure standing far away. Her long ck hair cascaded, swaying harmoniously due to the soft breeze. "A World Made of Origami Papers." Huo Yuhao dumbly stared at the beautiful woman in a tattered dress. "Robin, what happened to you?" "Your body..." The current Nico Robin still looks the same as she was before returning to the Tiny World. Still, that was a mere facade. What Huo Yuhao stared at right now was a body made of paper with a stiff smile. Robin smiled stiffly and replied, "Long time no see, Master." "You are probably curious about what happened to me." "Simply put, someone stole my body..." "I was able to save my soul with the power of my Martial Soul, but I can''t say the same for my Devil Fruit." "Someone?" Huo Yuhao walked to Robin, checking her soul. Robin nodded, "I don''t know who this person is... The first time I met her. No, it." "It was faceless and had no masculine or feminine traits, truly like a doll." "But with my body and recollections, she also obtained more knowledge and powers." "At some point, she can even create Runes." "Where is she right now?" Huo Yuhao asked. Robin put on a cold look, "Ohara." Angerced Robin''s voice, "She even dared to use my mother''s name and Dragon Nest''s knowledge to create Inner White''s strength." The former is unforgivable for Robin. Thetter part could change Tiny World into hell. No wonder Huo Yuhao felt Inner White''s strength was weird. "I''m sorry, Master." "I have let you down..." "Kill me. I have created chaos in this world and affected the future." Huo Yuhao caressed Robin''s face and hugged her, "I won''t kill you." "It''s not your fault, Robin." "Don''t worry, everything will be fine." He patted her back. Robin shouldn''t be able to feel warm with her current body. But Huo Yuhao''s embrace makes her feel warm again. Her soul sobbed, making her doll''s face wet. Kuina stared at this with an emotional look, but then she noticed something on her master''s face. Goosebumps. She felt goosebumps all over her body. Those blue eyes are usually calm. But now, they are filled with one emotion. Rage. Pure, unadulterated RAGE! Chapter 328: Forcing the Blue-Eyed Devil King Out Chapter 328: Forcing the Blue-Eyed Devil King Out --- Chapter 325 --- Huo Yuhao has never felt so angry in his life. Thest time Huo Yuhao was angry, he was emotionally affected by the remaining feelings of Theomars. At the time, he got sent to the Everlith Universe for an emergency quest. Even then, Huo Yuhao''s anger is not something easily subdued. If the cause of Huo Yuhao''s anger is rted to his loved ones getting harmed, he would be angrier. "Everything will be fine." Huo Yuhao gently mumbled while hugging Robin tightly, giving her thefort she needed. "For now, let''s get your situation fixed."Robin nodded, "Mm." Huo Yuhao smiled and created Gigai (Faux''s Body) for Robin, adding as much protection as possible. Robin''s soul got damaged after getting forced out of her body, causing it to be fragile. Robin didn''t cancel her domain because the body thief would sense her right away. It will expose Huo Yuhao and others. Unknown to Robin, Huo Yuhao couldn''t care less if the body thief knew he had arrived in this timeline. On the contrary, he hoped she knew because he wasing after her. Huo Yuhaoid Robin down and said, "I have perfected my Gigai-making Technique. Don''t worry, I promised there won''t be anyplications." "I trust you, Master," Robin said earnestly. Even though Robin still felt guilty for leaking Dragon Nest''s secret, Huo Yuhao''s tender gaze melted her worry away. She was happy to see Huo Yuhao again. Huo Yuhao contacted Tian Meng, Huang Qiu''er, and Raikou while making Robin''s new body. He has to warn them of the body thief because she could have caught them off guard, mistaking the fraud for Robin. ''Yuhao, I''m with the fake Robin now.'' Tian Meng replied solemnly. On Ohara''s heart, Tian Meng sat opposite the body thief, who smiled at her. She couldn''t find anything wrong with this fake Robin on the outside, but something about her bearing was weird. The fake Robin poured tea for Tian Meng, "Senior Meng, it''s been a while since we met." "Do you still remember me, Robin?" "I was one of the Master''s women." ''To hell with Yuhao''s women! You''re not worthy, bitch!'' Tian Meng was enraged inside. This fraud dares to lie straight to her face. Despite all the fakeness, Tian Meng smiled back and replied, "Oh my god, it''s you! No wonder you look familiar." You wanted topete against me, the Great Tian Meng? You''re one million years too young, kiddo! Let Sister Meng show you how to be a top-tier actress. Tian Meng sobbed, wiping her wet eyes. "You must have gone through a lot and suffered all this time." "Don''t worry. I will tell Yuhao to treat you nicely from now on." "A girl like you deserved better." The fake Robin was hopeful, "I rely on you, Senior." "Without you, I''m nothing." ''I know.'' Tian Meng snorted after hearing the fake Robin''s reply. As the Great Sky Wisdom Dragon, she has deduced the fake Robin''s method to fake herself well. However, it was useless against Tian Meng''s divine sense. Since Tian Meng supported Huo Yuhao''s Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao as the 1st spirit ring, she also benefited from learning her own Heavenly Daos. Nothing can escape Tian Meng''s observation. Every small action the fake Robin made is discernible in her eyes. Tian Meng decided to y around with the fake Robin a little. At the same time, Huang Qiu''er and Raikou received the bad news from Huo Yuhao and frowned deeply, especially Raikou. To Raikou, Robin is her closest friend after arriving at Huo Yuhao''s side. They are sisters! Learning that your sister''s body got stolen and forced into such a weak state was enough to make Raikou''s blood boil. She wished nothing but to inflict pain on the fake Robin now. The same goes for Huang Qiu''er. Even though her contact with Robin is brief, the bright-minded woman has taught her much knowledge of the One Piece World. Huang Qiu''er regarded Robin as no less than a mentor. That speaks of how much Huang Qiu''er respected Robin when the other people she was willing to call someone with such honorific were her teacher, Huang Yuna, and her Master, Huo Yuhao. "Wait... If Master was the one who told us this." Huang Qiu''er realized something crucial. "Doesn''t that mean he was the first person to meet Robin?" "Oh, no." Raikou''s eyes widened. "Yuhao, he''s furious..." "This is not good." "What do you mean it''s not good?" Huang Qiu''er was puzzled. Raikou nervously stared at the Tree of Knowledge afar andmented solemnly, "My Divinity allowed me to see the inner self of people I chose to nurture." "Qiu''er, you''re like a bright sunny day." "But Yuhao is something else." "He possessed a tamed darkness in his heart that shouldn''t get provoked by any means, or something horrible woulde out." "What happened to Robin might trigger Yuhao''s inner darkness." "Worse, it might force Yuhao to awaken his unwanted side." "The side we haven''t seen because Yuhao barely told us about his experience in the Everlith Universe." Huang Qiu''er was shocked, "Everlith Universe. Isn''t that..." "Yes, a ce where Yuhao got exiled for years, though only a year passed on our side." Raikou nodded with all seriousness. "I''m sure Yuhao endured many horrible things there." Huang Qiu''er didn''t cross fate with Huo Yuhao until he returned to the Douluo Dalu Universe after conquering Draconic Deus, so she missed some details. Huang Qiu''er paled, ''I wish Master doesn''t do anything reckless.'' ... ... On the other side of the world, Huo Yuhao let Robin''s soul enter the Gigai (Faux''s Body) he made. It''s the best Gigai Huo Yuhao ever made, using Matter Maniption and Techno Archon and Pagma Incarnation ss''s skills. Strictly speaking, Robin''s new body is that of a bio-android. It is also considered an upgrade for Robin, but Huo Yuhao wasn''t thinking about that when making her new body. He only wanted the poordy to be safe. [Name: Cyber-Bio Faux''s Body] [Type: A Living Vessel (Divine)] [Grade: EX+] [Potential: SSS+] [Soulbound: Nico Robin] [Innate Perk: Divine Heart(Core), Unbreakable Yin Body, Ten Thousand Fold Flower Blessing] [Description: A living vessel made with processed Bio-Android Method from Techno Archon''s database and divine materials, mimicking a rare blessed physique for females known as the Ten Thousand Flower Yin Physique] "How do you feel?" Huo Yuhao asked Robin, who was still adjusting to her new body. Robin blinked her eyes and clenched her hands tightly to the point she couldn''t feel her grip strength anymore. She breathed in and cried, "I can breathe." "Master, I can breathe again!" Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yes, you can." Robin hugged herself and mumbled, "It''s warm, too. I felt alive again..." "Master, I..." "You don''t have to pay me back. It''s my fault for causing this mess." Huo Yuhao sighed and waved his hand dismissively. "You should focus on getting used to your new body." "I make sure it uses the best materials for you." He yfully winked at her. Robin''s heart was ''deeply'' touched by Huo Yuhao''s kindness. No wonder she fell for this man. He''s so caring and understanding. Robin wiped her tears and said, "I felt better than ever." "Good." Huo Yuhao rubbed Robin''s forehead and kissed it. "Now... stay here, and I will deal with the rest for you." "I will leave the body thief''s fate to you afterward." Afterward, Huo Yuhao turned around and exited the World Made of Papers. Robin blushed hard, "D-Did Master Yuhao just kiss me?" ... ... Huo Yuhao walked out of the origami boat and stepped on the ocean indifferently. He looks differentpared to the caring man he was before. There is no gentleness in those eyes anymore. There is only anger. [Ding! You have ignited True Kroman''s Bloodline] Huo Yuhao''s body was engulfed with silverish-blue me, turning his blue hair ck. His blue eyes intensified, demonized into having polycoria with neon-blue demonic pupils. [You have entered True Kroman Mode] Far, far away. In the Everlith Universe, Titaniazed around in her realm when she sensed her dear husband using his bloodline''s power. It is such a rare case. "Someone is courting death..." Titania was speechless. "Who the hell is forcing the Blue-Eyed Devil King out!" "I can feel my Oberon''s anger..." "Ah, it''s bubbling like sizzlingva." "T-This is making me excited for some reason." The Fairy Queen couldn''t help but lick her lips. "Enough time has passed." Huo Yuhao unfurled his devil-dragon wings and vanished into the horizon. Chapter 329: Endless Pain Chapter 329: Endless Pain --- Chapter 326 --- At Ohara, Tian Meng and the fake Robin have an enjoyable conversation with each other. Even then, the fake Robin had been very anxious about meeting Huo Yuhao and asked where he was. The fake Robin would never expect Huo Yuhao to solve her scheme and meet with the ''real'' Nico Robin. She also didn''t know she was in deep trouble, known as Huo Yuhao''s anger. Tian Meng could sense Huo Yuhao''s presenceing closer and closer to Ohara, bringing unexinable darkness to the ind of schrs. She gasped because she had never seen Huo Yuhao this angry before. The fake Robin raised her eyebrows. She had been using Inner White''s powers to read Tian Meng''s expression and future, but thetter seems able to mitigate her future. Then, the fake Robin used Inner White''s powers to read her own future and choke on her tea. All she saw was a gloomy darkness. It was terrifying.BOOOOOOOM!!! Suddenly, something crashed onto the Ohara. The fake Robin was shocked and quickly used her Devil Fruit''s ability to create some barriers with runes. She looked down and saw a devilish-handsome man in a jet-ck martial robe. He possessed long silverish-blue hair and a pair of azure-neon eyes with crossed two pupils. He doesn''t look happy! The fake Robin paled because she just had a future sight of Huo Yuhao tearing her apart like nothing but flimsy rubber. She used Inner White''s powers to the limit, increasing her danger sense. But even the fake Robin''s danger sense screamed for her to run the fuck away from this ce. If she stayed in this ce any longer, she would have died. She would die miserably, with less than a 0.0001% chance of surviving. With that in mind, the fake Robin immediately used an escape rune hidden in her sleeve, triggering a long-range teleportation. "I''m sorry, Robin." Huo Yuhao uttered with hisst shred of rity. The fake Robin thought Huo Yuhao was saying sorry for her. But the truth is far from that. Huo Yuhao said sorry because he would mess with Robin''s ''true'' body, possibly reducing it into ashes before fixing it back. The fake Robin heaved a sigh of relief because the escape rune would send her in one millisecond. "Eh-?" The fake Robin saw a massive fist appearing before her, mming against her face mercilessly. She could feel her skull crack as Huo Yuhao''s punch hit her. Then, she flew out of the Ohara, skipping on the ocean''s surface a few times before crashing against a great wave into a tall pir of water. BAM! CRACK! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! If the fake Robin could scream right now, she would scream out of her soul. Huo Yuhao didn''t hold his punch back. He used the long-not-used Gentle Love Tap and inflicted a million times more pain than it should have been. A nifty skill he developed has be a frightening torturing technique in this situation. Of course, his base strength alone was enough to put the fake Robin, who hasn''t reached Divine level, in a dying state. [Name: Olvia Olga (Nico Robin''s Stolen Body)] [Race: Phantom Lord/Ancient Human] [Age: 36] [Devil Fruit: Flower-Flower Fruit (Awakened)] [Martial Soul: Sea Lotus Bone Flower(9+)] [Cultivation Base: Level 99/Demi-God] [Battle Prowess: Level 99/Demi-God] [Description: A dangerous spirit who can rob one''s body, memory, and power. Currently in possession of Nico Robin''s body and all her prior experience] [Note: An Excellent Punching Bag] "You have quite a bit of humor, Evo." Huo Yuhao smirked when reading the note at the end. "But she''s durable." After getting blown by Huo Yuhao, Olvia Olga roared from the ocean depth and caused a blue lotus to sprout, spreading spores over a kilometer radius. Soon, a gigantic row of white-bone flowers bloomed on the same. Amidst the white-bone flower field, a blue lotus sprouted, and the injured Olvia Olga revealed herself with a deformed face. Huo Yuhao was pained to see Robin''s deformed face but couldn''t be soft with a body thief like this creature. "WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY!" Olvia Olga screamed at the top of her lungs. "MASTER, THIS IS ME, ROBIN, WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME?" "DIDN''T YOU LOVE ME AT ALL??" Huo Yuhao snorted indifferently, "If you''re the real Robin, my feelings are open 24/7." "But you''re nothing but a shameless bitch!" "Also, don''t call me Master. It disgusts me." "The man you saw right now is the Hateful Avenger in the name of Nico Robin!" "I have prepared the worst judgment you can imagine..." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, summoning a broadsword. The broad sword is white-red, appearing like pulsating flesh and twitching red eyes on the de. Olvia Olga was in anguish. Nine red spirit rings exploded from her body, painting the white-bone flower field red. Countless giant-sized arms sprouting from the flower fields, creating a dome of flesh. "Taking Moon, Seizing Sun!" Olvia Olga activated her spirit skills. A literal manifestation of a white moon and a fiery golden sun appeared above Ohara ind. "Avenger Blight!" Huo Yuhao''s aura turned bright crimson, coating his broadsword with deep intent to kill. BOOM! Huo Yuhao sliced through the atmosphere, cutting straight past the moon and the sun. Slice! Both were sliced into half, falling into the ocean. Huo Yuhao''s momentum didn''t stop as he kept advancing toward Olvia Olga. "AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHH!" Olvia sent endless giant-sized arms at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao swung his broadsword rapidly. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! This exchange exposes Olvia''s weakness because any limbs she made with Flower-Flower Fruit were ''directly'' still connected to her. So, she experienced the damage done to her extra limbs. "NOOOOO! AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHH!" And the sensation of getting continuously shed is making Olvia Olga insane. Huo Yuhao cast a strong curse on Olvia earlier, making her susceptible to pain by many folds and affecting her soul. "STOOOOP! AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHH!" A mere paper cut could make Olvia feel like she was ''brutally'' mutted, and now imagine endless heavy shes from Huo Yuhao. "SPARE MEEE!! AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHH!" The curse also prevents Olvia from fainting, forcing her to experience this horrible sensation till Huo Yuhao wants to end it. "AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHH...!" The length Huo Yuhao would torture someone who had hurt his beloved is terrifying. "AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHH!" He didn''t just throw Olvia Olga into hell. "PLEASE STOOOO-! AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHH!" He makes her live in it. At some point, the Phantom Lord''s soul just cracked beyond repair, and every action she makes is ''entirely'' based on survival instinct. Olvia got reduced to nothing but a broken shell of her former self, endlessly sending waves of broken limbs at Huo Yuhao. Still, it was a futile attempt. It''s like sending cotton balls to a concrete wall. BOOM! Huo Yuhao walked on the destroyed ocean. The white-bone flower field has be dark because of Olvia''s regeneration, smearing every flower with her blood. He dragged the broadsword with one hand, staring at the broken Olvia Olga emotionlessly. Olvia is kneeling on the blue lotus, sping her hands together as if praying to a god. "You''re praying to no god." "You prayed for forgiveness." "You prayed for a shred of kindness." "Unfortunately, I''m not your God." Huo Yuhao lifted his broadsword, which had ''y All Evils and Fools'' characters on the edge. "Even if I am, I''m not the God of Kindness." "Law of Dark Light, Endless Soul Damnation!" A gray light coated Huo Yuhao''s broadsword. Huo Yuhao shed down, but his broadsword seemed to pass through Olvia. That''s because he shed her soul and put her into a limbo realm where there is no life or death. She exists in the Eternal Realm, waiting for Robin to judge her. Huo Yuhao put the broadsword away and sighed. He looked at the clear azure sky and sighed. "I almost lost control..." "Seeing Robin hurt alone can make me this angry." "I can''t imagine if it was Mom, Ying''er, or Shishou..." "I might destroy everything out of sheer madness." Huo Yuhao nced at Robin''s body, which was ''brutally'' damaged to the extreme. He sent the Law of Life and Time into the body, repairing and recovering it. After that, Huo Yuhao wiped the white-bone flower field and brought Robin''s body away. Far away, Tian Meng broke a cold sweat. "Scary!" "Yuhao is scary!" "He won''t do me like that if I tease him, right? M-Maybe I should tame it a little." Tian Meng decided not to piss Huo Yuhao off from now on. She doesn''t want to experience what Olvia experiences, even on a smaller scale. Nuh, uh Chapter 330: Robins Life-Changing Decision Chapter 330: Robin''s Life-Changing Decision --- Chapter 327 --- Huo Yuhao carried Robin''s body and snapped his finger, causing the sea to roll and erase any traces left behind by Olvia. Soon, the dark flower field withered and vanished from his vision. The ocean calmed down, and the surrounding storm dissipated into a refreshing breeze. He nced at Tian Meng on the Ohara and said, "Sister Meng, I leave Ohara to you." Tian Meng helplessly nodded and waved her hand, watching the blue-haired fellow disappear in a sh. She could hear the sonic boom miles away as he broke the sound barrier. "Where is Yuhao?" Raikou asked whilending near Tian Meng. Tian Meng''s mouth twitched, "Gone. He left as soon as he finished the fake Robin.""That''s no fun..." Huang Qiu''er wished she could see the fight more. It was a satisfying, one-sided bullying. ''To hell with your fun! Qiu''er, you''re bing more cunning and sadistic after living with Yuhao for too long!'' Tian Meng was speechless at this blue-haired girl. Tian Meng shook her head gently and continued, "Yuhao said to leave the Ohara with me. You two can go and follow him." "You don''t need my help to find him, right?" Huang Qiu''er and Raikou responded with a shake of their heads because they could track Huo Yuhao easily. It''s not like he was hiding his presence from them. With that in mind, they turned into yellowish-gold and purple light and chased after Huo Yuhao. Tian Meng watched the lights gliding through the horizon, "These two have be so strong." ... ... Huo Yuhao returned to the origami boat and found Robin was talking with Kuina happily. It seems the former has learned that thetter was her crewmate''s supposed to be a dead childhood friend or rival. "I see, so Zoro is still dumb after so many years." Kuina covered her mouth and giggled, recalling her moment with the green-haired kid. Robin giggled giddily and added, "Yes, he is also the worst at sense direction." "One time, he lost his way on the one-way street, which I thought was impossible at first, but he proved me wrong..." "Ms. Robin. You''re joking, right?" Kuina broke a cold sweat. She knew Zoro''s sense of direction was horrible, but not this HORRIBLE! Robin wore a solemn expression and said, "I wish I were joking, Kuina." "..." Kuina. Zoro, that maniac-like guy. He makes me extremely worried as a friend. Robin stared at Kuina''s speechless expression and was amused because she didn''t expect Huo Yuhao to ept her as his disciple, considering he was more inclined to get harem members. Huo Yuhao''s reputation as the God of Lust was ''funnily'' well-known among thedies'' circle, so Robin was surprised by this decision. Then, once again, Huo Yuhao is also a man of his word and takes the words he made to Kuina''s grandfather very seriously. Thinking about it, Robin started to think Kuina was a lucky girl. Of course, Robin doesn''t envy Kuina. Huo Yuhao has shown a side he has never shown for Robin, making her more than happy to be with him forever. In fact, Robin''s heartbeat is still rising every time she recalls Huo Yuao kissing her forehead. It was sweet and gratifying. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao walked in. "I''m back." Huo Yuhao carried Robin''s body like a princess. Robin''s eyes widened, "Master, Olga is..." "I damaged her soul. The rest is up to you." Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, granting Robin a choice to end the body thief. "Also, do you want to return to your real body?" "I..." Robin was about to say yes. But she hesitated because her new body was much better. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao made it with all his heart to make herfortable. To Robin, her new body isn''t just a temporary living vessel anymore. It is a token of love, a symbol that Huo Yuhao cares about her well-being. So, deciding which body she wanted to use was a life-changing decision. After pondering a bit, Robin stared at Huo Yuhao and smiled, "Master, the only children choose between two. An adult wants both." "Excellent answer." Huo Yuhao chuckled in amusement. "So, what do you want to do?" Robin adjusted her breathing and replied, "Can you turn my body into a Martial Soul? If possible. I also want to turn Olga into my puppet-like Martial Soul!" Kuina''s eyes widened in shock, "This is..." "It''s possible?" Huo Yuhao nodded, "It is possible, but people on the Dragon Nest tried this method with the tool-type Martial Soul." "We have never tried transforming a living thing or soul into a Martial Soul because it might lead to aplication. On top of that, the tool-type Martial Soul is easier to handle." "Robin can possess Triplet Martial Souls if the procedure is ''perfectly'' executed." "There is a risk, though." Huo Yuhao gives Robin an unsure look. "If you can''t handle this procedure, you could die." "Also, it is painful. Extremely painful." Robin gazed with determination and said, "I trust Master with my life!" "Also, pain is nothing as long as I can get stronger!" ''She has such a blind faith in me.'' Huo Yuhao was helpless. He should feel happy, but Robin has suffered too much to trust him like this. He patted his forehead and said, "Sit on the ground and meditate." "I will erase Olga''s personality, and she will serve you as an extra Martial Soul from now on." "As for your real body, it was contaminated with the Concept of Flower and the will of Phantom. If you''re lucky, which I can get for you, you might reach the realm of God in one swoop." "Are you ready?" "Ready!" Robin hurriedly sat down and meditated. Huo Yuhao activated his God of Fortune''s seat, causing a blinding gold light to burst from his body and painting the surrounding area with its glory. At the same time, a divine halo appeared one after another, adding more presence and authority for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao stretched his hand to the Realm of Limbo, dragging Olga''s soul and cleansing it with the Law of Life. Soon, the soul bes a beautiful blue lotus with a white flower on top. He stretched his hand to Robin''s soulless body, also turning into a Martial Soul without changing its appearance and function. He added some extra blessings, purifying the Concept of Flowers from the Flower-Flower Fruit. [Ding! You have turned Olga''s Soul into a tool-type Divine Lotus Soul Flower] [Ding! You have turned a Conceptual Body into a beast-type Mahayana Flower Demoness] Huo Yuhao increased Robin''s luck before fusing Martial Souls into her body and soul. "Kuugh-!" Robin gritted her teeth in pain. Robin felt a thousand hot needles piercing her body and soul, altering things that made her experience intense pain. However, Robin was stubborn. She insists on staying awake and proving that Olga is weaker than her. ''SETTLE DOWN!'' Robin thought coldly. Unknowingly, Robin influenced her Origami Martial Soul and made it experience a second awakening out of sheer will. The Concept of Paper burst out from Robin''s spiritual sea, transforming it into a spiritual world of papers simr to the domain she created. A divine halo slowly condensed behind Robin, giving her a beautiful light shawl. It did not stop there. The Mahayana Flower Demoness also condensed a Divine Spirit Ring as its 1st spirit ring due to its conceptual nature, adding to the ascension. Robin''s atmosphere changed. Meanwhile, Divine Lotus Soul Flower already has nine spirit rings, and each granted Robin additional Spiritual Power to transform into Divine Sense. She opened her eyes, and divine light shone from them. Swoosh! Divine Lotus Soul Flower and Mahayana Flower Demoness vanished into Robin''s body. She breathed in and sighed heavily, "I did it..." "Master, I did it!" She excitedly looked up at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded, "Good job." "Robin, your ascension is weaker than others, but it is more stable as you didn''t challenge into a higher position and settled as 2nd ss God instead." "Don''t worry, you can be stronger and only need to umte more power with your other Martial Souls." "I will help you reach 1st ss God Realm in a few weeks." "Mm." Robin was satisfied enough with her current state. However, she was more happy that Huo Yuhao would help her. Huo Yuhao nced at Robin''s status panel. ''She''s going to be a monster.'' ... ... [Name: Nico Robin (True)] [Race: Goddess/Ancient Human (Ascended)] [Age: 36] [Martial Soul: World-Folding Origami Paper(10+), Divine Lotus Soul Flower(9+), Mahayana Flower Demoness(1+)] [Concept: Origami, Flower, Soul, Serenity] [Devil Fruit: Flower-Flower Fruit (Absorbed/Omitted)] [Cultivation: Level 113/2nd ss God] [Battle Prowess: Level 117/High-Tier 2nd ss God)] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: Thousand-Armed White Goddess, World-Folding Origami Lordess, White Flower that Bloom in the Starry Sky, Soul-Eater Flower Goddess, Dragon Nest''s Advisor, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] [Description: An unfortunate woman who has suffered a lot. At least her hatred avenged, and she finally had a better life] Chapter 331: The End of Robins Misery Chapter 331: The End of Robin''s Misery --- Chapter 328 --- Robin blinked and stared at Huo Yuhao with a surprised look because the feeling of ascension was very different than she expected. At first, it was suffocating because Robin must fuse with Divine Lotus Soul Flower and Mahayana Flower Demoness, but then the sense offort washed her entire being. Of course, a realization hit Robin hard. If reaching the 2nd ss God Realm allowed Robin to possess this much authority of dimension, she wondered how powerful Huo Yuhao was. Huo Yuhao always mysteriously shows himself. Even though many have witnessed his power when fighting at Draconic Deus''sst war, Robin believed he was still holding back. But Robin has a more frightening guess.She looked up to Huo Yuhao emotionally, ''What if Master Yuhao is still growing to this very moment? He kept evolving and bing stronger, leaving others in a ditch.'' ''It must be lonely to be alone at the top...'' If Huo Yuhao knew what Robin was thinking, he didn''t know whether he should cry orugh. Her ability to read and analyze things is too good. Robin suddenly stood up and hugged Huo Yuhao, clutching his back tightly. "Robin?" Huo Yuhao was confused. "Thank you, Master," Robin uttered with utter gratefulness. "Without you, I might die a long ago..." "From now on, I, Nico Robin, will do my best to support you, even if it is a small matter." Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Silly girl. Seeing you like this makes me feel like a scumbag." "Are you admitting that you think of me as your woman, too?" Robin''s eyes glimmered with hope. "About that..." Huo Yuhao raised his hand as if he was getting caught red-handed, which caused Robin to giggle. Kuina frowned, "Can you two stop flirting? It doesn''t feel nice when you''re the third wheel." "My bad, Kuina." Robin stopped hugging Huo Yuhao and winked at Kuina yfully. Strictly speaking, Kuina spends time with Huo Yuhao longer than Robin, but her status as a disciple prevents Huo Yuhao from developing feelings for her. To Huo Yuhao, Kuina is still a foolishss of a disciple. He has yet to see her as a woman. On the other hand, it was clear that Kuina had feelings for Huo Yuhao. So, it was ''normal'' for Kuina to be jealous of Robin. Of course, Kuina would soon learn that Huo Yuhao has more women than her whole fingersbined. Robin can''t wait to see Kuina''s expression when she sees goddesses in the Dragon Nest. Her little jaw would probably drop to the ground. "They are here. Robin, meet Qiu''er and Raikou. They must have missed you a lot." Huo Yuhao stretched his right arm because he was swinging a heavy broadsword too excitedly earlier. "I will meditate for a moment." "Kuina, stay." "Okay, Master." Robin smiled and exited the origami boat. She couldn''t wait to see Raikou. As Robin left, Kuina stayed in her position and waited for Huo Yuhao to say something. "Did I startle you earlier?" Huo Yuhao asked while sitting down. Kuina''s body froze, "I..." "Don''t try to hide it. Being frightened is alright when you have never seen that side of me. I was angry, but that doesn''t cloud my judgment." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, asking Kuina toe closer. "So, are you afraid earlier?" Kuina walked to Huo Yuhao with a flustered expression, "I''m a little afraid, just a little." Huo Yuhao stretched his hand and patted Kuina''s head, "That''s good." "Without fear, you wouldn''t develop your courage." "Without fear, you wouldn''t ovee your challenges." "But next time, don''t let your fear consume you. Your enemy would abuse that weakness in a battle." "Do you understand?" "Mm." Kuina nodded, enjoying Huo Yuhao''s head pats. After calming Kuina''s heart, Huo Yuhao gifted her an advanced book about merging three types of Haki into his version of Divine Might. Kuina has learned Observation and Armament Haki in the Stasis Timeline, mastering them to a certain degree. She also awakened Conqueror''s Haki when fighting a strong Phantom. Even though swordsmanship is ''mainly'' focused on physical aspects, Kuina also must learn to use her Mental Power and Heart to grasp a higher realm of mastery. Kuina has already developed a Sword Intent, but it is stillcking. Huo Yuhao hoped she could merge her three Haki into Divine Might and develop Sword Heart and Domain within their time in this timeline. Soon, the only person on the boat was Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao breathed in and out, flushing all his distractions. When beating the shit out of Olvia Olga, Huo Yuhao''s rage is linked to something in his inventory. He didn''t have to guess because he knew what exactly it was. "Evo." [Yes, the Primeval Wave White Tiger''s Will is enhancing your madness earlier] [Thankfully, you didn''t go full berserk and destroy the world] Huo Yuhao sighed, "Primeval Devil Fruit is something else, huh?" "Even when I didn''t eat it, the will could affect me." "This thing is a little too terrifying." [That''s true] [However, this also means the Primeval Wave White Tiger deserves its name and position] [Host, you won''t consume the Primeval Devil Fruit now, right?] [If yes, I rmend you elerate Tree of Knowledge''s growth and make an Epiphany Pills with Alpha Memory Leaves first] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched, "Do you really think I''m that impulsive, Evo?" [No. You''re not impulsive at all] "..." Huo Yuhao. Why did you sound sarcastic? However, Evo is actually telling the truth. No one knows Huo Yuhao better than Evo. Evo has watched Huo Yuhao grow steadily in sickness and loneliness. The assassin-reborn boy has grown into a God many couldn''t even hold the end of his coat off. With Huo Yuhao''s current growth speed, he could reach the 3rd Tier of Omniversal Order sooner orter. When that timees, Evo''s usefulness is nearly zero. Even now, Huo Yuhao barely uses Evo''s upgrading functions and relies on himself toprehend the Unique Laws of the Universe. That shows just how high his potential is. No wonder 1st Tier Existence cares so much about Huo Yuhao and ced a seal to protect him. Huo Yuhao shook his head at Evo''s silence, "Evo, can you trace who sent this Primeval Devil Fruit?" [That''s not possible] [The one who sent Primeval Devil Fruit uses sketchy Omniversal Tunnels to send you a gift, which means the individual doesn''t want outsiders to know] [For now, you should focus on preparing yourself to eat the Primeval Devil Fruit, Host] [Leave the Omniversal Order''s matters to me] "Thanks." Huo Yuhao suddenly said. [For what?] "For being a good partner." Huo Yuhao replied while getting up. Then, he walked out of the origami boat. [Partner? Host, you''re cheesy] "Oh, shut up." Huo Yuhao returned with a smile. Huo Yuhao went out, finding himself in a touching scene. Raikou hugged Robin, and they cried in joy. Huang Qiu''er watched this on the side with a smile on her beautiful face. Kuina is still somewhat bitter about Robin, but Huo Yuhao''s words about fear cloud her judgment, making her realize she shouldn''t be jealous of others. It was intentional, but Huo Yuhao made Kuina''s mindset mature. He was lucky. As Huo Yuhao entered the scene, Raikou and Robin stopped hugging andposed themselves. Huo Yuhao stared at them and said calmly, "Even though we have solved this timeline''s problem by eliminating Phantom Lord, we can''t leave yet." "Wait, so the Phantom Lord is Robin''s body thief?" Raikou didn''t expect this coincidence. "But it makes sense. Such a power body possession usually won''t work on people like us." Huang Qiu''er chimed in. Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes." "Now, on to the second part of my sentence." "We need to stay on this timeline for a few days if not weeks." "I want to prepare myself before eating a special Devil Fruit." "You can rest in the meantime." "What do you think?" He looked at the girls, asking for their opinion. Kuina was the first to reply, "I think it''s fine, Master." "But you also need time for rxing, too." "Yeah, I second that." Huang Qiu''er added, agreeing with Kuina. "No problem with me." Raikou put on an easygoing expression. "Mhm, me too." Robin replied. She actually hasn''t explored this timeline much because she got ambushed and forced into hiding. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Very well. It''s decided, then." "Let''s stay here for a while." Chapter 332: Primeval Beast Trial Chapter 332: Primeval Beast Trial --- Chapter 329 --- Three weekster. Huo Yuhao sat under the majestic Tree of Knowledge, which had grown bigger and taller in 21 days. The trunk alone is probably a couple of hundred meters tall. Of course, the more nurtured parts are the root systems, branches, and leaves. After spending many resources on the Tree of Knowledge, Huo Yuhao made it mature rapidly and boosted its ability to produce Alpha Memory Leaves. Not only did Huo Yuhao achieve a brilliant result, but he also discovered a god-like ability from the Tree of Knowledge. It was a mutation due to Huo Yuhao''s interference with the Tree of Knowledge''s growth.Tree of Knowledge''s innate ability to store information from past, present, and future isn''t just for decoration. After reaching maturity, the tree could also store Concepts from the past, present, and future and bore Devil Fruit randomly. Essentially, Huo Yuhao just made the first-ever Devil Fruit Tree. He achieved something that the Wardens from Myriad Heaven Realm failed to do. Even then, the Devil Fruit grew too slowly on the Tree of Knowledge and only had 3 4 Devil Fruit every three hours. You might think that was fast already, but we are talking about Huo Yuhao here. He needs more Concepts than anyone in this world. The pursuit of learning universalw is something Huo Yuhao passionated for eight years ago. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao also has to make sure he doesn''t take Devil Fruits, which would alter the timelines of Tiny World. In fact, Huo Yuhao found Ice-Ice Fruit, me-me Fruit, and Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix, but decided to send them away to the ocean and wander to their fated eater. Funnily, Huo Yuhao identally finds Pika-Pika no Mi or Glint-Glint Fruit eaten by Admiral Kizaru randomly on the sea one day and ponders if he takes it now, would it influence the future timeline where he killed Kizaru and took his Devil Fruit for Qianye Ying''er. Would Qianye Ying''er lose her Concept of Light? The answer is yes, but not to a certain extent. Qianye Ying''er has long learned the Concept of Light. If Huo Yuhao altered the timeline, she would miss a small portion of the Concept. Anyway, Huo Yuhao sent the Glint-Glint Fruit away. Huo Yuhao solely focused on preparing himself to eat the Primeval Devil Fruit. The Primeval Wave White Tiger''s Will is alive inside the Primeval Devil Fruit and would pull Huo Yuhao in for a trial. The trial won''t be dangerous because all Huo Yuhao needs is to gain acknowledgment from the Primeval Beast''s Spirit. However, it is going to be challenging. Very challenging. Huo Yuhao has made several Epiphany Pills with Tree of Knowledge''s Alpha Memory Leaves and other rare materials, piling them for his trialter. He''s currently stabilizing his heart and mind. He needs aplete serenity in the face of iing anger. Besides Huo Yuhao''s things, Ohara Ind has been doing very well. Robin has taken over it, naming it Ohara again. She also erased any traces Olvia Olga left behind, including the White Inner''s Powers and many other influences on the ocean. She wouldn''t allow any changes in this timeline because she realized it would be disastrous. One wrong move and Robin''s crewmates would cease to exist. Robin and Kuina wouldn''t get affected by the timelines as Huo Yuhao has changed their fates, allowing their origin and birth horoscopes to align with himself. Overall, Robin has fixed the timeline to its supposed course. Likewise, Robin also has stabilized her godhood and be the Goddess of Origami Flower. She used her Divine Lotus Soul Flower and Mahayana Flower Demoness Martial Soul to the fullest, maxing their Spirit Rings up to 12 halos each. Robin has be a full-fledged 1st ss God. A high-tier one at that. On the other hand, Kuina also has learned to merge her Haki into Divine Might. She has reached a small sess and shouldn''t have a problem while fighting people from the Myriad Heaven Realm like the Wardens. Huo Yuhao has given Kuina a piece of Divine Metal from the Iron Gift Box, which she has been tinkering with to make her fourth weapon. She said it would be her first masterpiece. He didn''t doubt Kuina''s talent, so she should be able to make Divine Weapon sooner orter. Huang Qiu''er is currently developing her Frying Pan Martial Soul. She has experimented with it for a few days, locking herself in a kitchen for some reason. Well, she did possess the Concept of Gourmet. Last but not least, Raikou. Raikou actually hasn''t done anything but apany Huo Yuhao in thest 21 days. Anytime Huo Yuhao needed something, she would be there to help. Even the insignificant acts, like wiping sweats, Raikou would do them in a heartbeat due to sheer passion. Well, Huo Yuhao didn''t mind Raikou''s presence. She doesn''t disturb him at all and has always been helpful when assisting him in making Epiphany Pills. "Yuhao, you should stay hydrated. Here, drink this milk tea I made." The milf came to him with a tray of milk tea. Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly, thinking he was lucky with women, and drank the milk teafortably. After finishing his milk tea, Huo Yuhao wiped his white mustache and asked, "Raikou, are you not going to increase your cultivation base like Robin?" Raikou shook her head, "The way I cultivate is bizarrely unorthodox to others. Even though ''normal'' cultivation works fine, my power won''t grow much, especially my Concept, Divinity, and Mental Power." "Remember, I''m the Nurturer." "Only by sessfully nurturing others, givingfort, and assisting one''s growth... I can hone my power." "The percentage depends on how much I helped. For example, I helped you make Epiphany Pills little, and my Concept of Nurturer has deepened by 5% in quality." "The same goes with my Divine Energy (Immortal Qi)." "That''s bizarre." Huo Yuhao was speechless. He didn''t expect Raikou''s Concept to be this broken. But then, Raikou''s nurture must be sessful. On top of that, Raikou also must be patient. Only a personification of a mother like her could do something like this. Huo Yuhao shook his head, "You have gone through a lot." Raikou covered her mouth and giggled, "Don''t worry, Yuhao. I very much like this method of cultivation as I don''t mind helping poor children who got robbed from their childhood." Huo Yuhao stared at Raikou''s clear eyes calmly. She was probably more motherly than any mothers he had seen, including Huo Yun''er. Well, he would definitely not say that to Huo Yun''er. He felt his mind be tranquil and asked, "Did you use the Alpha Memory Leaves to make the milk tea?" Raikou answered with a wink, "Mm. I also used a very ''special'' milk." Huo Yuhao choked on air before staring at her in awkwardness. "I''m joking~!" Raikou giggled again. "Or am I?" Huo Yuhao put on a solemn look and said, "I like it." "..." Raikou was stunned this time. Then, sheughed joyfully. "Hahaha~!" "Let''s see, I will make more milk tea from now on." "I hope you''re not getting tired of it." "I won''t." Huo Yuhao replied immediately. "Oh, my..." Raikou couldn''t help but blush. It seems her teasing bacsh on herself. Cough! She coughed and said, "I''d check on Kuina Girl." Huo Yuhao waved his hand at Raikou''s departing back, "See you soon, Raikou." "Tell the others not to disturb me for three days." "I think it''s time for me to eat the Primeval Devil Fruit." Raikou''s steps halted, "Mm. I will tell them." After Raikou left, Huo Yuhao stretched slightly and went to the Tree of Knowledge, leaning on it. He grabbed the Primeval Devil Fruit from his inventory and stared at it for a full minute. "This better be worth it." Huo Yuhao said while eating the Primeval Devil Fruit whole. Kacha! Huo Yuhao could hear the sound of breaking ss in his soul. His veins showed up, and immense spiritual pressure hit him. "Come on, give me your hardest trial..." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. ... ... "Foolish brat, do you think my trial is easy?" A deep and calm voice echoed in the void. A majestic beast is lying in the void. It was a gigantic tiger with ck eyes full of colorful stars and a wavy white-ck pattern fur. "You want the hardest? I will give you the hardest that not even the previous Bearer of Waves could handle." The beast''s eyes shed with faint shrewdness. "Show me what you have or die trying..." Chapter 333: Becoming a Tiger Cub Chapter 333: Bing a Tiger Cub --- Chapter 330 --- Huo Yuhao blinked to gain rity and looked around weirdly. Did he get sent into the world of giants? Why did everything look big, like the trees, rocks, and grasses? Then, Huo Yuhao realized something. It is not the world of giants. He actually bes smaller."I didn''t expect to end in such a situation." Huo Yuhao nced down, finding orange-furred legs with ws. [Ding!] [You have entered the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm] [This realm is the ce where Tiger Species and Family originated from, dating back to the beginning of space and time] [Your soul has inhabited an ill-born cub of Wild Forest Tiger] [And your goal is to be the Strongest Tiger in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm, gaining the title of King] [Ding! Primal Wave White Tiger has issued a binding quest] [Name: A Cub to Tiger King] [Objective: Kill 100 Tiger Kings of Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm within five years (0/100] [Time Limit: Five years] [Penalty: Primeval Wave White Tiger''s Curse/Primeval Maddening Curse] [Restriction: You may not use any power, weapon, concept, orws you had until the trial ends] [Reward: 7x Primeval Wave White Tiger''s True Ancestor Bone(EXX+)] [Ding! You have forcibly epted the binding quest and are required to finish it before the deadline] Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched because this quest was challenging, but not to the point it would kill him. Even though Huo Yuhao felt naked without his fancy powers, he still had rich wisdom and experience. That includes his martial arts skills. On top of that, the Primeval Wave White Tiger''s Trial couldn''t seal his luck because it was Omniversal Order authorized. The title of Omniversal Order''s Lucky Star isn''t for a show. Even if Huo Yuhao has be an ill-born tiger cub, he''s still the Radiant Epoch! Huo Yuhao used the Universal Breathing Technique and saw how efficient it could be with a tiger cub''s body. Thankfully, the Universal Breathing Technique works on any species. After a few circtions, Huo Yuhao discovered something horribly wrong with this tiger cub''s body. It has weak internal organs, bones, and blood energy. It''s also struck with many inborn diseases and defects. This tiger cub is the weakest and most miserable cat Huo Yuhao has ever seen. Huo Yuhao looked around and sniffed to see if there was a mama tiger and sighed, "How unfortunate, you were ''actually'' abandoned by your parents." "Though Tigers rarely abandon their cubs, this tiger cub is a different case because he has infectious diseases." "Its existence is like a curse." "Don''t worry. I will make you a king." Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "Let''s see what I should do to improve my condition." Huo Yuhao dragged his tiger cub''s body to the bushes and said, "Evo, are you still there?" [I''m always with you, Host] "Good." "Can you show me this tiger cub''s status page?" [Right away, Host] [Opening a new status page...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Race: Wild Forest Tiger] [Age: 4 months] [Innate Talent: None] [Cultivation: None] [Ailment: Extremely Ill, Defects from Birth] [Description: The weakest tiger cub ever recorded in history] Huo Yuhao checked on the ailment and frowned because there were more illnesses than he thought. It was a miracle that this tiger cub was still alive. In fact, Huo Yuhao''s soul is the only reason this tiger cub''s body still holds up. Huo Yuhao closes his eyes and thinks. "I got it." "Let''s start by recovering injuries, fortifying the weak internal organs, bones, and many other body parts, and then look for something to increase my blood energy(nutrient)." "If possible, I must find wild herbs with an antibiotic effect." Huo Yuhao pped his face with adorable paws and said, "Okay, let''s do this." At first, Huo Yuhao looked for a ce to hide from predators. He also needed a water source. Huo Yuhao found a small pond and quenched his thirst there, using the Universal Breathing Technique to circte water energy throughout his body. "Phew, I''m hydrated now." "Now, I need nutrients. I don''t think I can kill any beasts and eat their flesh for nutrients..." Other beasts exist in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm. They are the prisoners that Tiger Kings caught outside and used here as food and challenges to grow their younglings. Huo Yuhao was ''absolutely'' tempted to kill some small beasts but shook his head because this body was too weak to hunt even a pheasant. He couldn''t move around, or he would break a bone or two. He sighed, "It seems I have no other choice than absorbing Natural Energy slowly." "I hope the Modified Senjutsu Technique Kuroka and I made in the past works in this realm." Previously in the Draconic Deus, Huo Yuhao learned Senjutsu and Touki, modifying them to make Chaotic Beast Sage Mode. It was a massive sess, and Huo Yuhao has been using it passively ever since. That time, it was effortless because Huo Yuhao''s body was sturdy and adaptable. But now, Huo Yuhao might have broken his body apart if he absorbed too much. Huo Yuhao needed to condense one unit of Natural Energy at a time and absorb it slowly. This slow method tests his patience. Soon, one month passed quickly. A tiger cub warilyes out of the hole. Even though the cub looks unhealthy, his bright blue eyes glimmered with hope. "Not the best, but I can do it with this." Huo Yuhao has focused all his energy on fixing this tiger cub''s body, using Natural Energy extensively. Huo Yuhao has eliminated 90% of the injuries, surviving off the pond''s water and wild herbs for months. Fortunately, such a small amount of Natural Energy isn''t enough to fix the tiger cub''s inborn defects. He needs Life Energy to alter this cub''s gic codes. "Calm down, Yuhao. One step at a time." Huo Yuhao huffed. "I''ve trained this body, running around to build some muscles and enhance the weak internal organs. My lungs could handle more oxygen now." [Opening a new status page...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Race: Wild Forest Tiger] [Age: 5 months] [Innate Talent: None] [Cultivation: None] [Technique: Universal Breathing Technique (Level 1), Mysterious Heaven Skill HY''s Version (Level 1) Senjutsu (Level 1), Touki (Level 1)] [Ailment: Defects from Birth] [Description: The weakest tiger cub ever recorded in history] Huo Yuhao nodded, "Let''s hunt some small beasts." "I missed the taste of fresh meat." "Wait, that sounds wrong." "Anyway, what should I hunt?" "Forest Mice? Wild Pheasant? Or Wild Hare?" "Forest Mice live in a group." "Wild Pheasant is too loud." "Wild Hare is alone, but they are also the strongest out of three..." Huo Yuhao pondered before choosing to hunt Wild Pheasant with some makeshift traps. He dug a hole andid some fragile sticks, covering them with dry leaves. He tossed wildflower seeds and chewed on some wild herbs. Rubbing the paste all over his body, he hides in a nearby bush. Huo Yuhao waited for hours. Then, he heard a gratificationing. He used the Universal Breathing Technique to slow his heartbeat and eyed the brown-feathered bird walking into his trap. Crack! The fragile sticks broke, and the pheasant dropped into the hole. It wanted to release a cry for help, but Huo Yuhao hurriedly rushed into the hole with the help of Touki and tore the bird''s head with its mouth. Crunch! Huo Yuhao was indifferent to the taste of feathers, brain matter, and blood. Gulp! Huo Yuhao used his version of Mysterious Heaven Skill and drank the pheasant''s blood, absorbing the bird''s bloodline power into his body. After one month, Huo Yuhao finally felt alive. [Ding! You have absorbed Wild Pheasant''s Bloodline Energy] [Ding! Your bloodline has be stronger] [Ding! You have generated a wisp of Blood Qi] "First hunt, sess." Huo Yuhao licked his bloodied mouth and looked down at the pheasant''s corpse. He hurriedly ate the whole thing, not fearing his digestive system couldn''t handle it because he had a Mysterious Heaven Skill. After trading with the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao got the Mysterious Heaven Skill and modified it to be much better. Even though the whole function is the same, the efficiency has increased 100 times better. It wasn''t much of use previously because Huo Yuhao had many powers to do the same thing. However, this technique is such a clutch now. Hehe, Huo Yuhao must thank Tang San for being useful once. "I should probably change the name of Mysterious Heaven Skill." He finished the bird and wiped his mouth with his paws. "Hmm, what should I call it..." "Ah, I got it." "Genesis Transformation Art." "It has a nice ring to it." Huo Yuhao couldn''t wait to see Tang San''s face when he knew his Mysterious Heaven Skill was weaker than Genesis Transformation Art. "Well, I need more than one pheasant." "Today''s goal..." "Get nine wild pheasants for me to eat!" Chapter 334: The Fiercest Tiger Cub Chapter 334: The Fiercest Tiger Cub --- Chapter 331 --- One monthter. Rustle~! Rustle~! A movement appeared in the bushes, and a pair of brilliant blue eyes shone among the leaves. A tiger cub appears bloody, yet it isn''t the cub''s blood but his prey. Huo Yuhao ate the raw flesh and chewed on bones while running Genesis Transformation Art. He silently watched the surroundings as his injuries fully healed. In a month, he also fixed 10% of the tiger cub''s inborn defects, such as weak bones and slow growth, by absorbing the bloodline power of wild droves. Those hares are very nutritious, and their bones are ''fortunately'' packed with rich calcium.Even then, it doesn''t fix the core problem. The Wild Forest Tiger''s bloodline is already the weakest of the weakest. And this tiger cub is the weakest Wild Forest Tiger. Upon fixing the tiger cub''s defects, Huo Yuhao must find a suitable tiger''s bloodline and use Genesis Transformation Art to absorb it. [Opening a new status page...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Race: Wild Forest Tiger] [Age: 6 months] [Innate Talent: Stealth] [Cultivation: None] [Technique: Universal Breathing Technique (Level 2), Genesis Transformation Art (Level 2), Senjutsu (Level 2), Touki (Level 2)] [Ailment: 90% defects from Birth] [Description: The weakest tiger cub ever recorded in history] Huo Yuhao shook his head because the introduction still said he was the ''weakest'' tiger cub ever recorded in history, which means the other cubs were more powerful than him now. It''s like saying Huo Yuhao couldn''t beat toddlers in a fight. He felt a little bitter but decided to ignore it. After two bitter months, Huo Yuhao has steadily reached level 2 on all his techniques. He also has enough blood energy and nutrients to grow now. Even then, Huo Yuhao decided not to grow too much. The defect aside, Huo Yuhao needs to know what cultivation system the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm uses. Huo Yuhao could sense the scattering of Internal Qi inside his body after cultivating the Universal Breathing Technique and Genesis Transformation Art into level 2. "Evo, have you analyzed the energy?" Huo Yuhao asked while finishing his meal. [Positive] [I have found the energy this realm used] [It is Primal Qi] [Primal Qi is the source of Heavenly Beast''s strength. The energy only appeared when one''s demonic core formed and grew stronger as the beast became older] [Host, you need to condense the scattered Internal Qi inside your body into a sphere or demonic core to start your cultivation] [The realm separated by level] [The lowest level is zero, and the highest in this realm is 300] [Most Tiger Kings are 250+ levels] "So, by forming the demonic core, I will start from level 1?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head. [Yes] [You can use the same method you use to make Spirit Master''s Soul Core to make demonic core] Huo Yuhao sighed in relief, "Thank god, I don''t want to tinker with this world''s principles too much." He went to his secret hideout, a dim cave surrounded by bushes and trees, and then started condensing his demonic core. At the same time, he also used the Universal Breathing Technique and Genesis Transformation Art. The scattered Internal Qi slowly formed near Huo Yuhao''s fragile heart and became a small ck sphere, smaller than a grain of rice, after an hour. [Ding! You have sessfully formed a Demonic Core] [You have leveled to level 1] Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, "That''s easier than I expected." "But this was still slower than a normal tiger cub was supposed to, right?" [Indeed] [Tiger Cubs in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm formed their demonic cores as soon as they were born and reached level 15 at six months] "..." Huo Yuhao finally knew why he was the weakest tiger cub. He rubbed his forehead and said, "I need a better ce to kickstart my growth." "This forestcks medicinal herbs." "Evo, you have scanned the area around the Wild Forest, right?" [I am] [I rmended you go to the east. There is a lush bamboo forest, and medicinal herbs tend to grow there] [But be careful... Most beasts there are poisonous] Huo Yuhao''s eyes lit up, "Poison." "Ah, I can concoct Body Refining Medicine with strong poison..." "Evo, show me the direction!" [Okay, Host] Following Evo''s lead, Huo Yuhao arrived at the lush bamboo forest filled with tall evergreen bamboo. He just stepped into the forest, and a bamboo snake pounced on him. Huo Yuhao snorted and enhanced his ws with Touki. sh! Huo Yuhao''s w shed the bamboo snake in half. He ran the Genesis Transformation Art and ate the snake, feeling weak, paralyzing poison travel inside his blood streams. [Ding! You have consumed a Wild Bamboo Snake and obtained its bloodline power] [Ding! Your bloodline has be stronger] [You have obtained a passive: Poison Resistance (Level 1)] Huo Yuhao groaned in pleasure because the weak poison tempered his physique and bloodline, "Hehe~!" "This ce is my treasurend!" With that in mind, Huo Yuhao hurriedly knocked on several bamboo and caused many bamboo snakes to fall on him. Bamboo snakes are physically weak. Their only good point is their poison, which allowed them to paralyze their prey before swallowing the said prey whole. However, they would never be able to poison Huo Yuhao nor touch his body because of Touki, which created a shield of his Life Force. Huo Yuhao bulldozed his way into the outskirts of Bamboo Forest, eating every bamboo snake on his way. He raised his Poison Resistance to level 5 and tempered his bloodline further. After eating 50 bamboo snakes, Huo Yuhao heard a familiar-sounding notification. [Ding! You have level up] "This is just the start..." Huo Yuhao excitedly said. ... ... Two monthster. A slightly muscr tiger cub dragged a two-meter-long viper and bashed it against a rock. The viper appeared dead but suddenly moved when the tiger cub turned around. sh! The tiger cub''s ring sharp ws shed the viper in half. "You snakes are the same..." Huo Yuhao snorted. He went down on the viper and ate it with indifference. "Evo, open my status page." [Opening Status Page...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Title: Snake Hunter] [Race: Wild Blood Tiger (Mutated)] [Age: 8 months] [Innate Talent: Stealth, Poison Resistance, Poisonous Blood, Strong Heart and Bones] [Cultivation: Level 16] [Technique: Universal Breathing Technique (Level 3), Genesis Transformation Art (Level 3), Senjutsu (Level 4), Touki (Level 5)] [Ailment: 20% defects from Birth] [Description: An above-average tiger cub] After two months in the Wild Bamboo Foresst''s outskirts, Huo Yuhao has reached level 16. He has killed and eaten too many bamboo snakes to count. His bloodline also mutated, causing his race to change into Wild Blood Tiger because his fangs and blood have a poisonous effect now. However, the best thing Huo Yuhao obtained so far is a Strong Heart and Bones. He got it after tempering his body''s medicinal concoction, and it helped him reduce defects by 60%. The remaining defect only revolved around Huo Yuhao''s limbs, which was negligible because Touki enhanced his physical strength. However, fixing defects will allow Huo Yuhao to have better limb force and be nimbler. ROOOOAR! A roar entered Huo Yuhao''s ears. Huo Yuhao frowned and turned around, gazing at the Wild Forest where he used to stay. Rustle~! Rustle~! BAM! An adult Wild Forest Tigernded before Huo Yuhao, gazing at him with a predatory look. Huo Yuhao was way smaller than this adult Wild Forest Tiger. [Wild Forest Tiger(Umon)/Level 40] ''This fellow is over twice my level.'' Huo Yuhao was speechless. Why did this tiger appear out of nowhere? Unknown to Huo Yuhao, the Primeval Wave White Tiger watched him and was dissatisfied because he had luckily dodged many life-and-death situations. So, the petty beast sent a strong opponent to test Huo Yuhao. If Huo Yuhao knew this, he wouldugh. His luck is still overpowered, after all. "Hmph, let''s see what you can do against your first enemy." A cold voice hummed in the void. Huo Yuhao faced the Wild Forest Tiger and rushed forward using Touki to enhance his physical ability. BAM! The Wild Forest Tiger dodged and bit Huo Yuhao''s stomach. Huo Yuhao gathered Primal Qi in his ws and stabbed the Wild Forest Tiger''s eyes. ROAR! A painful roar echoed. Huo Yuhao ignored the pain in his stomach and bit the Wild Forest Tiger''s neck, causing him to bleed. SWWOOSH! BAM! The Wild Forest Tiger rushed to the rock and mmed Huo Yuhao on it. They are in a stalemate. Eventually, Huo Yuhao''s poisonous blood affected the Wild Forest Tiger, and its grip on Huo Yuhao weakened. "That''s why you shouldn''t eat random things!" Huo Yuhao gasped but quickly adjusted his breathing. He activated the Genesis Transformation Art and refined the Wild Forest Tiger''s bloodline on the spot, siphoning out its bloodline energy. Out of crisis, Huo Yuhao has used Genesis Transformation Art to emte the Plundering Concept. The Wild Forest Tiger visibly grows older, as if it has lost its vitality. "YOUR POWER IS MINE!" Huo Yuhao roared, stabbing the Wild Forest Tiger''s chest and destroying its poisoned heart into a pulp. Haa! Haa! Haa! Huo Yuhao breathed heavily, staggering on his position. It''s been a while since Huo Yuhao felt his blood pumping this much. Heughed joyfully and looked up. "ROOOOOOOAAAARRRR!!!" [Ding! You have awakened Innate Talent: King''s Roar] ... ... "A tiger cub actually can kill an adult Wild Forest Tiger." "That''s probably the fiercest tiger cub I''ve ever seen, but this is not the end of my test." An arrogant voice echoed in the void. Chapter 335: Blue-Eyed Demon Tiger King Chapter 335: Blue-Eyed Demon Tiger King --- Chapter 332 --- After killing the adult Wild Forest Tiger, Huo Yuhao staggered on his steps and groaned in pain because he felt his body could break at any moment. He gritted his teeth and dragged his enemy''s corpse to his cave, wanting to eat it for more blood energy. He didn''t leave any trails of blood before entering a well-hid cave. Four monthster. A young tiger opened his eyes, revealing a pair of blue eyes. [Opening Status Page...][Name: Huo Yuhao] [Title: Snake Hunter, Predator Killer] [Race: Wild Blood Tiger (Mutated)] [Age: A year] [Innate Talent: Stealth, Poison Resistance, Poisonous Blood, Strong Heart and Bones, Wild Forest''s Blessing] [Cultivation: Level 50] [Technique: Universal Breathing Technique (Level 5), Genesis Transformation Art (Level 6), Senjutsu (Level 10), Touki (Level 10)] [Ailment: Healthy] [Description: A monstrous young tiger] ... After eating the Wild Forest Tiger''s body, Huo Yuhao refined his bloodline further and reached Level 50. He also obtained Wild Forest''s Blessing, which enhanced his natural recovery by 50%. The best part is definitely curing this body''s defect. Huo Yuhao spent one month absorbing the nutrients, another month refining his bloodline, and the rest strengthening himself. "It''s time to get out." Huo Yuhao exited his hideout and started hunting animals in the Bamboo Forest. Since he had no apparent weakness anymore, he could hunt with ease. He even fought some poisonous creatures above his levels and won because their fangs, ws, and telson couldn''t pierce his skin. Five hourster, the Bamboo Forest bes weirdly silent. A blue-eyed young tigeres out, carrying a fearsome aura. "This ce is too weak for me now." Huo Yuhaomented while licking his lips. There are traces of blood and poison on them. "Evo, what''s the next ce to visit?" [There is a valley on the northeast, Host] [The creatures that lived there were lizard-type creatures. They have thick hides, poisonous fangs, and sharp ws] [I think this is the best choice for you] Huo Yuhao''s eyes lit up because his fighting instinct boiled to fight more powerful opponents. With that in mind, he followed Evo''s direction and went to a valley called the Dark Stone Valley. "Here we go." Huo Yuhao said while running into the valley. He wasn''t afraid of danger as he charged in, killing anything that moved in his path. He rampaged through the valley and increased his strength rapidly, reaching level 80 in half a day. At the same time, Huo Yuhao''s body also grew muscr and limber. The young tiger has grown into a monstrous tiger with sparkling white fur striped ck and devilish blue eyes. A faint ''King'' mark appeared on its forehead, signifying its position among the tigers. Near a river of blood, Huo Yuhao meditated with his eyes closed. Huo Yuhao has killed every lizard-type beast in the Dark Stone Valley and absorbed their bloodline power to strengthen his bloodline, mutating into a demonic bloodline. He also created a new fighting style revolving around the movement of a tiger and its physique. He nced at the valley''s wall, seeing numerous w marks. "This isn''t enough." "I''ve replicated many techniques and emted them with my current physique, but some errors are unavoidable." "I can cover for the weaknesses, but it won''t fix it..." "If only my physique is that of a humanoid form." "ording to Evo, I must reach Level 100 to achieve my human form and challenge other Tiger Kings to a territory war. Given my current strength, lower-rank kings wouldn''t pose a problem." "But I can''t say the same for the tests thrown at me by the Primeval Wave White Tiger." Huo Yuhao put on a thoughtful expression. As if Huo Yuhao predicted the future, countless tiger roars echoed at the entrance of the Dark Stone Valley. The only entrance to enter this ce, which means he was ''naturally'' surrounded. Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes shone dimly, "There are over a hundred thousand enemies." "The ones who lead them are Elite Elder Tigers around Level 90." "If I''m not wrong, all these tigers are under the control of a Tiger King." [Yes, they are] [They are tiger kins of Moon Howling Golden Tiger] Huo Yuhao nodded, "It seems the Primeval Wave White Tiger really put a dangerous enemy on my path." "Unfortunately..." "I''m no longer a helpless cub." [Opening Status Page...] [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Title: Snake Hunter, Lizard Hunter, Predator Killer] [Race: Blue-Blooded Demonic Tiger (Mutated)] [Age: A year] [Innate Talent: Presence Erasure, Poison Immunity, Toxic Blood, Strong Vajra Physique, Strong Guardian Physique, Godspeed, Tiger''s Fear, Dark Stone Enhancement, Wild Forest''s Blessing] [Cultivation: Level 80] [Technique: Divine Hunt (Level 10), Universal Breathing Technique (Level 6), Genesis Transformation Art (Level 10), Senjutsu (Level 15), Touki (Level 25)] [Ailment: Healthy] [Description: A monstrous young tiger who walked on the way of Tiger King] ... "It''s time to test Divine Hunt." Divine Hunt is a technique that Huo Yuhao developed. It contained every essence he had experienced from many worlds, tempering them to tiger''s characteristics. Huo Yuhao jumped off his meditation spot and walked to the Dark Stone Valley''s entrance. He spotted rows upon rows of Elite Adult Tigers, each having a bloodthirsty look. "That''s the sinner!" Said one of the Elite Elder Tigers. "That thing is a sinner that our ancestors told us to kill." "Kill, kill, kill!" Huo Yuhao tilted his head, "I see... So, they could talk after bing Elite Elder Tiger." "Interesting." "Attack!" Said another Elite Elder Tiger. Soon, tsunami-like tigers swept over Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao snorted and umted Primal Energy in his throat. He looked at them indifferently and roared, "Divine Hunt - 1st Move: Beast Sovereign''s Killing Roar!" ROOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRR!!! Huo Yuhao roared an intense blue-light energy roar and wiped out the tigers that pounced on him. BOOOOOOOOOM!! A five-meter deep trench over fifty meters long was ''instantly'' formed. Then, Huo Yuhao cast Tiger''s Fear and released intimidating pressure like that of Haoshoku Haki. His mere presence shook the weak tigers, putting them on their knees. ROAR! The Elite Elder Tigers roared back, trying to regain their dominance. However, those weak tigers have lost their will to fight. Huo Yuhao only needs one roar to render half of their forces useless. Realizing they were in deep trouble, the Elite Elder Tigers nodded at each other and rushed toward Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao observed them calmly, watching one Elite Elder Tiger opening its mouth near his neck. He dodged to the left but was caught off guard by three Elite Elder Tigers who also wanted to bite him. He couldn''t escape this time because the other six had closed any dodging spots. "Mountain Tiger''s Bite!" Three Elite Elder Tigers bit onto Huo Yuhao''s stomach, right arm, and left leg. However, their teeth felt stiff for some reason. "Divine Hunt - 2nd Move: Beast Sovereign Phnx Body." Huo Yuhao saw their shocked look with a smirk. "What''s the matter? You can''t bite through my fur?" "Aww, a bunch of toothless kitties." Huo Yuhao gathered Primal Energy onto his limbs and hit them against the ground, "Divine Hunt - 3rd Move: Beast Sovereign''s Grand Shockwave." BOOOOOOOOM!! A blue pir of energy rose, pushing everyone away from Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao hit the iron while it was hot and used Senjutsu and Touki this time, sharpening every fur on his body. "Divine Hunt - 4th Move: Beast Sovereign''s White Storm." SWOOOOSH! Huo Yuhao roared and vanished from the spot, spreading white smoke that cut sharply through everything he ran past. He killed thousands of tigers in a matter of seconds, absorbing their bloodline power. Countless wails of death echoed. The tigers couldn''t even react when they died and fell to the ground as an empty husk. "Demon!" "This sinner is a Demon!" Fears struck every tiger in the area. And the worst thing is, this is far from over. Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared behind one of the Elite Elder Tigers, snapping its neck with a ferocious and urate bite. The other Elite Elder Tigers failed to notice this and fell to the same tricks. ROAR! An hourter. A blue-eyed white tiger bathed in the blood of his enemy, making his white fur jet-ck because of so much blood he shed. BOOOOOOOOOM!! The white smoke cleared, revealing many piles of bones and furs. ROOOOOOOOARR! A roar of anguish echoed in the valley. "NOOOOOOOO!!" "HOW DARE YOU!" A massive golden tigernded before Huo Yuhao, shedding blood tears upon seeing itsrades and kin''s death. "Sinner, you deserve to die!" A hateful yet feminine voice hit Huo Yuhao like a shockwave. "Say your name! I want to bury your sin-filled existence alongside my kids!" [Moon Howling Golden Tiger King (Ruler/Level 120] Huo Yuhao stared at the enemy''s status bar and smiled confidently, "My name?" "Well, you can call me..." "Blue-Eyed Demon Tiger King." Chapter 336: Miraculous Metamorphosis Chapter 336: Miraculous Metamorphosis --- Chapter 333 --- Huo Yuhao is currently at level 99. He has yet to absorb every nutrient he gets in this siege. Even then, he couldn''t catch a breath. The Howling Moon Tiger King red at him with golden-piercing eyes full of hate as if they wanted to swallow him whole. Well, it was understandable, considering what Huo Yuhao has done. Huo Yuhao doesn''t care, though. The Howling Moon Tiger King''s subordinates are the ones to offend him first."Die!" The Tiger King roared, firing a golden beam at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao also roared, firing a blue energy shockwave. Two energies shed mid-air, but the former quickly overpowered thetter. The golden beam pierced through the blue shockwave and hit Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, sending him flying to the valley''s wall. Bam! Huo Yuhao crashed onto the wall and groaned in pain. "That was decent..." "Die!" The Tiger King pounced and brandished her sharp w on Huo Yuhao, swinging it like a reaper''s scythe. Huo Yuhao circted his Primal Energy, "Divine Hunt - 5th Move: Beast Sovereign''s Shadows." BAM! The Tiger King''s sharp w hit the valley''s wall and shed through it, creating a deep trench over one hundred meters long. Her eyes shed in confusion because Huo Yuhao dodged in a split second, breaking into several shadows. "White Storm!" All of a sudden, white smoke swept over the Tiger King and inflicted several cuts on her body. "Using your furs like knives, you''re too childish!" The Tiger King roared in annoyance. Even though the knife-like smoke cut her skin, it wasn''t that deep. Unknown to the Tiger King, this very technique would be her downfall. BOOM! The Tiger King released a fearsome golden aura and cleared the white smoke, revealing Huo Yuhao, who stood above the valley not far away. She fired several golden beams, and Huo Yuhao hurriedly dodged them while running away. "Blue-Eyed Demon Tiger King! You can''t run away!" She chased after Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao amassed energy inside his abdomen and dashed at extreme speed, leaving the Tiger King with a hundred-meter gap. The Tiger King''s eyes widened because Huo Yuhao was too fast for an adult Elite Tiger. She growled in displeasure because this was probably why her subordinates couldn''t kill him and get killed instead. Still, this fact won''t stop the Tiger King from killing Huo Yuhao. In fact, it makes Tiger King angrier. "Howling Moon World!" The Tiger King unleashed her hidden ability and trapped Huo Yuhao within a domain of golden moonlight. Huo Yuhao stopped in his tracks. "A domain, huh?" He stared at the translucent golden barrier before him and thoughtfully nced back. Huo Yuhao licked blood on the corner of his lips and added, "This is going to be a tough battle." "I just need a little more push, and Level 100 will be my metamorphosis stage..." "Everything would change after that." "Before that, I need to push myself to the limit." While the Howling Moon Tiger King contemted various ways to kill Huo Yuhao, thetter pondered how he could experience life-and-death situations without spending too much. With that in mind, both sides moved. The Tiger King approached Huo Yuhao with confident strides, releasing a flurry of w swipes, Huo Yuhao skillfully dodged them, but he was clearly walking on a thin thread. If he got hit by one w attack, he''d experience a fatal injury. BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! Huo Yuhao was ''narrowly'' grazed by the Tiger King''s w swipes and is bleeding non-stop, making his appearance look terrible. The Tiger King looks ted. She attacked more ferociously and caved into the ground, creating cracks all over the ground. Thirty minutester, Huo Yuhao''s breathing finally became haggard. Cold sweats are raining on his body, but his blue eyes are still as bright as brilliant stars. For Tiger King, this was ying with her food. She wanted this sinner to suffer. However, Huo Yuhao saw things differently. He was walking in a dark world filled with hurricanes and lightning, taking one step after another to a door of opportunity. Bleeding is nothing. Breaking bones is nothing. Pain is nothing. Huo Yuhao''s brain is ''extremely'' active right now. Boom! Huo Yuhao got hit by the Tiger King''s golden beam and sent flying to the edge of the golden barrier, crashing and bouncing to the ground. Kacha! Something shattered. Huo Yuhao stopped breathing, and his heart was ''utterly'' crushed under the pressure of his overtaking injuries. The Tiger Kingughed, "Haha, you sinner bastard. You finally died." Then, a monotonous voice echoed from Huo Yuhao''s soul. [Ding! You have level up!] [You have reached Level 100] [You have reached the limit of Wild Forest Tiger''s bloodline] [Genesis Transformation Art has experienced qualitative changes and purified the Wild Forest Tiger''s bloodline] [You have upgraded Wild Forest Tiger''s bloodline] [Ding! A Miraculous Metamorphosis Triggered!] [The purified Wild Forest Tiger''s bloodline has experienced a Miraculous Metamorphosis] [You have obtained an Unknown Tiger''s bloodline (Z)] [You have emted the highest Law of Metamorphosis, Reincarnation from Zero] [Commencing True Evolution with an Unknown Tiger''s bloodline as the base...] "Huh??" The Tiger King was perplexed. From Huo Yuhao''s supposed corpse, a blue light suddenly bloomed and pierced through her domain, reaching the darkened sky. BOOM! A star constetion was ''literally'' summoned, showering the area with a heaven-and-earth phenomenon. The blue-blooded tiger''s corpse slowly transformed into a cocoon and expanded rapidly like a balloon, beating with an unorganized pulse. The Tiger King frowned because she knew the sinner would get stronger after this, but something in her blood prevented her from interrupting this process. If even sheid her hand on the cocoon, she felt like she was attempting a ''sphemous'' act. In the void, the Primeval Wave White Tiger has a stupified look on his face when Huo Yuhao''s bloodline suddenly metamorphoses like this. He has set Huo Yuhao''s trials to the maximum difficulty, giving him the most ordinary bloodline and tiger cub filled with defects. Huo Yuhao is literally the most miserable tiger cub. If not for Huo Yuhao''s questionable luck and rich wisdom, the tiger cub wouldn''t survive for a day. Heck! He''d die in less than fifteen minutes. Nevertheless, Huo Yuhao can turn his situation around and achieve the impossible. Words aren''t enough to describe his ''lucky''eback. "This bloodline..." The Primeval Wave White Tiger mumbled and broke into a cold sweat. "It might be more powerful than my bloodline." Crack! The blue cocoon cracked, causing a brilliant blue-white light to escape slightly. Roar~! A faint roar of the beast echoed. It was soft and majestic, filled with endless vigor and calmness like a deep sea. The Tiger King''s soul shook after hearing the roar. Her eyes widened in doubt and dread. "T-This is impossible!" She said hysterically. "Since the death of Ancestor Primeval Wave, no bloodline could achieve ''that'' level." "So, how could a sinful creature like you..." Kacha! Crack! The cocoon cracked again like a fragile ss, slowly crumbling into a primordial mist. The primordial mist filled everyone''s vision but soon condensed into a humanoid shape. Blue hairs stick out. A half-naked, handsome man stood on the ground. His chiseled facial features are fresh. Then, his athletic build is wrapped in a white-blue tiger fur attire, creating this charm of reborn from the wild. As the man opened his eyes, a pair of brilliant gem-like blue eyes gazed at the world. Those blue eyes are beautiful and soul-sucking, looking down on the realm like a worthless ce. Huo Yuhao breathed in and out, feeling oxygen coursing through his lungs and pumping energy all over his body. "Heh, this is it..." He said with excitement. "THIS IS MY BODY!" "I''M BACK, BABY!" Huo Yuhaoughed at the sky, shaking the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm. Hurricanes and lightning strikes danced around him. ...

He never felt this excited in his life. The reason behind this excitement is that Huo Yuhao has reached a gic breakthrough like no one could ever imagine. Huo Yuhao possesses multiple bloodlines, each existing as a helix in his True Blood Core. The bloodline that stayed the longest in Huo Yuhao is the War Beast''s bloodline, which started as the Great White Tiger''s bloodline from the White Tiger n. Truthfully, Huo Yuhao hasn''t made progress with War Beast''s bloodline. It stuck ever since he left the Everlith Universe.In fact, the other bloodlines have caught, if not surpassed, the War Beast''s bloodline. That''s until Huo Yuhao slowly cultivated Wild Forest Tiger''s bloodline and saw its potential. It was the weakest and most undesirable bloodline with no evolution path, which makes this bloodline unique. It is like a nk canvas, unlike White Tiger''s bloodline, for Huo Yuhao to create the masterpiece of a drawing. Of course, Huo Yuhao won''t discount his luck in the process. He had been waiting for a chance. The right moment. And sure enough, his hard work is paying him back. This ordinary tiger''s bloodline was purified, upgraded, and underwent a Miraculous Metamorphosis. Z-Grade! It''s higher than EXXX Grade. Huo Yuhao stared at the starry sky and smiled, "Being lucky is nice." He stretched his new body and nced at the Howling Moon Tiger King, making thetter frown. "Sorry for making you wait." "We can continue our fight now." "I won''t hold back, even if you possessed a stronger bloodline." The Tiger King frowned and turned into a golden-haired woman in white armor. She still has those hateful eyes, though. After saying that, they made their moves. The Tiger King appeared before Huo Yuhao andunched a decisive and fast straight punch to his head. Azure light covered Huo Yuhao''s body as he stepped back and threw a straight punch. BAM! Their fists met, causing a ripple in the air. Shockwaves washed the area, shattering the ground. Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes gazed at the Tiger King and shot out a blue wave that caused thetter to squint her eyes in confusion. Before the Tiger King could react, Huo Yuhao''s fist suddenlynded on the Tiger King''s pretty face and sent her flying like a ragdoll. KABOOM! "What happened?" The Howling Moon White Tiger was ''actually'' shocked as Huo Yuhao suddenly disappeared from her field of vision. Something about the blue wave spooked her. In mid-air, Huo Yuhao appeared and mmed her stomach down. BOOM! The Tiger King crashed to the ground and coughed a mouthful of blood. She felt weak. Her body should have handled such a weak physical attack, but this same attack ignored her physical defense. "What have you done to me?" The Tiger King wiped the blood from her mouth. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Do you like the taste of my new ability?" "It''s called Blue Wave." "I won''t exin shit to you, but you can think of it as a poison." ROAR! The Tiger King roared, "A mere poison won''t work on me!" She doesn''t trust Huo Yuhao. She jumped to Huo Yuhao and sent a flurry of golden beams. Huo Yuhao punched forward and manifested a blinding white spiral, which absorbed the golden beams. "Take it back." Huo Yuhao''s punch exploded with the golden beams but had ten thousand more intensity. SWOOOOOSH! The Tiger King crossed her arms and took the attack full ahead. She couldn''t dodge because Huo Yuhao''s attack was too broad. BOOM! The Tiger King''s armor destroyed and exposed a fair bit of her body as she breathed heavily. She looked at Huo Yuhao solemnly and decided to go all out, or she''d die here. "Such a forceful technique." Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes because he sensed a bloodline ignition technique from Tiger King''s body. Tiger King''s humanoid body bulked as her hair became long to her thighs, and her fingers became ws. Golden furs also grew around her body, giving her a berserker-like look. Huo Yuhao didn''t even blink when the Tiger King abruptly appeared and punched his head. He dodged, but the fist made contact with his shoulder instead. BAM! Huo Yuhao''s body twisted awkwardly. The Tiger King grabbed his leg and mmed him on the ground, firing a golden beam straight to his body. "Howling Moon Beam!" ROAR! BOOOOOOOOOOM!! A golden pir of destruction appeared, pulverizing everything within one kilometer. Swooosh! "I see... Just because I''ve evolved my bloodline. It doesn''t mean I can take attack recklessly." Huo Yuhao flickered and appeared a mile away, staring at his burning chest with a surprised expression. The Tiger King''s attack burnt Huo Yuhao''s chest so horribly that he could feel it sear through his heart. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao has threeyers of protection. God Vajra Body, The Guardian God Body, and Azure Light War Body. He also has Wild Forest''s Blessing, which could heal him by using natural energy in the atmosphere. Sure enough, Huo Yuhao''s burnt chest formed scabs and then healed within a few seconds. But he quickly noticed something weird. The Tiger King possessed an ability that should counter regeneration. She actually has the power of Erasure, allowing her to erase things from the natural order. Huo Yuhao shouldn''t be able to heal his chest or shoulder, but he did. A momentter, it dawned on Huo Yuhao. "I can physically resist Conceptual Erasure." Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes in amazement. "This is part of Undying Trait from my Unknown Tiger''s bloodline." At the same time, The Tiger King also rushed to attack Huo Yuhao again. Huo Yuhao let every attack hit his body, healing them a momentter. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Tiger King has sliced, pulverized, and burned Huo Yuhao''s body many times, but he was still intact for some reason. Huo Yuhao also fought back, fighting without fear of death. He punched and kicked as he fancied, rendering the Tiger King speechless. Their bodies shed many times, creating storms one after another. As the Tiger King used every bit of her bloodline power, the so-called poison Huo Yuhao mentioned started affecting her. "Blergh!" The Tiger King stopped, bleeding from all her orifices, including her eyes. She kneeled on the ground and looked depressed. "It''s over, huh?" Huo Yuhaomented while standing up from getting punched to a pulp. The Tiger King helplessly stared at Huo Yuhao and sighed, "I couldn''t even avenge my kin." "Blue-Eyed Demon Tiger King..." "You''re a monster." Huo Yuhao smirked, "People call me that often." "I''m not praising you." The Tiger King felt heavy. "Just finish me." "After this, you will face more powerful Tiger Kings." "I hope you die miserably." "That''s harsh." Huo Yuhao responded casually. The Tiger King snorted, "End me... I don''t have the will to fight or live anymore." "You have destroyed everything I had." Huo Yuhao stared at the Howling Moon Tiger King''s golden eyes and nodded in understanding, "Very well." The Tiger King stared back silently, watching Huo Yuhao open his mouth and didn''t let a sound out. She read his lips before her inevitable death and smiled weakly. ''I see... So, we are just a stepping stone.'' She thought before Huo Yuhao devoured her with an azure light. ''Blue-Eyed Demon Tiger King.'' ''I hope you be a Tiger Monarch, and so the death of me and my people will be honorable.'' Huo Yuhao absorbed the Howling Moon Tiger King''s bloodline power into his body with Genesis Transformation Art, strengthening his Unknown Tiger''s bloodline. Although the Unknown Tiger''s bloodline is above Howling Moon Golden Tiger''s, the former stillcks bloodline energy and umtion. So, having more bloodline energy is good, especially from Tiger kins and species. Having limitless potential doesn''t equal limitless power. People are confused about that lot. Huo Yuhao breathed in and out, adjusting the sense of Unknown Tiger''s bloodline. "I should name this bloodline." He mumbled while staring at the sky. "Since this bloodline could put the Primeval Wave White Tiger to shame, I will name it..." "Everblue Wave Undying Tiger''s bloodline." "Mouthful, but hehe. I like it." Chapter 338: Primeval Beast Trial End Chapter 338: Primeval Beast Trial End --- Chapter 335 --- After killing the Howling Moon Golden Tiger King, Huo Yuhao returned to the Dark Stone Valley but realized it had been destroyed in their fights earlier. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao sensed heart-wrenching pressureing to his location and activated Presence Erasure while running away. After running several hundred miles away, Huo Yuhao finally realized those pressures wereing from Tiger Kings. He frowned because some of the Tiger Kings exceeded that of the Howling Moon Golden Tiger King. "I have to be careful with my steps." Huo Yuhao told Evo to search for a good hiding ce before moving to the north. He arrived at an ice-cold ravine and jumped in. As Huo Yuhao hid himself in a cold cave, he used the Universal Breathing Technique to adjust his body."Evo, warn me if there are threats nearby." Huo Yuhao said while checking his new ability. [Okay, Host] Huo Yuhao nodded and nced at the new abilities. ... [Blue Wave] [Effect: Create a disturbance in reality, twisting the realm of possibility to your advantage] ... [Everwhite Spiral] [Effect: Control a disturbance, absorbing the surrounding ripple to better suit your advantage, reflecting misfortune] ... [Azure Light War Body] [Effect: One kind of Primeval Physique that possessed the ability to defy conceptual powers, rendering them useless. It also absorbed misfortune and turned it into a raw power] ... Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes lit up. He only read the introductions shortly as he was still fighting earlier, but these abilities are too good. There are no grades, only a straight description of how it works and affects reality. Simply put, they are overpowered. However, Huo Yuhao felt there was more to them. Blue Wave, Everwhite Spiral, and Azure Light War Body are part of the Everblue Wave Undying Tiger''s bloodline, which means they could fuse and be one ability. Huo Yuhao hasn''t tapped into that power. Unfortunately, that is. Huo Yuhao rested on the ground, "Thankfully, the Genesis Transformation Art was close to breaking through, or else I''d be in a deep problem." "I still have too much leftover energy and should digest it beforeing out." "It seems I have to enter a seclusion." "Before that, I should try something." Huo Yuhao used Blue Wave to twist reality around his new body, changing something with Primal Energy as the base. After experimenting with Blue Wave for an hour, Huo Yuhao''s clear skin changed and formed several circuit-like lines. The energy circuits shone with golden blue light, giving an energized look. Huo Yuhao''s lips curled, "It is working." "I have created myself a brand new Spirit Circuits." "Well, calling Primal Circuits is more appropriate." "With these circuits, absorbing Primal Energy and Natural Energy won''t be a hassle anymore." "Now, I had to condense Cores, mainly Energy, Bloodline, and Spiritual Cores." "Normally, I wouldn''t take a risk... However, I possessed the capacity to alter reality and luck on my side." Huo Yuhao wanted to test how far Blue Wave could help him. Thus, Huo Yuhao decided to condense Three Cores for the next three month. At the same time, Huo Yuhao also split his attention to improve the Divine Hunt around Everblue Wave Undying Tiger''s characteristics and bloodline ability. ... ... Three monthster. A still blue-haired man opened his eyes and huffed, "That would do for now." "I wish I could make a better Blood Core, but the Everblue Wave Undying Tiger''s bloodline is limited. I only had a handful of it." "Energy Core and Spiritual Core are easier to make because Primal Energy is everywhere in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm, and my expertise revolves around Mental Power." "Too bad I can''t walk on the Spirit Master Path." He sighed helplessly. Huo Yuhao tried using Blue Waves to mimic Spirit Master''s power system but failed because of the ipatibility between Primal Qi and the artificial Martial Souls. It''s like putting the wrong battery on a device and expecting it to work. Even though Spirit Master''s power system doesn''t work, it doesn''t stop Huo Yuhao from making some ''interesting'' stuff. [Name: Huo Yuhao] [Title: Snake Hunter, Lizard Hunter, Predator Killer, Monarch of Beasts, The First Undying Blood] [Race: Everblue Wave Undying Tiger (Primeval)] [Age: A year] [Innate Talent: Blue Wave, Everwhite Spiral, Azure Light War Body] [Tiger Totem: Nether Tiger Totem, Vajra God Tiger Totem, Godspeed Tiger Totem, Conqueror Tiger Totem, Sage Tiger Totem, Azure me Tiger Totem, Royal Blue-Blooded Tiger Totem, Divine Tiger Totem, Primeval Tiger Totem] [Cultivation: Level 150] [Technique: Divine Totem Hunt (Level 30), Universal Breathing Technique (Max), Genesis Transformation Art (Level 30), Senjutsu (Level 50), Touki (Level 50), ] [Ailment: Ascended] [Description: A monstrous Tiger King with limitless potential and a new Primeval Bloodline that could put the Ancestor of Tigers to shame] ... After three months, Huo Yuhao has fully modified his status page and turned many things to be more efficient. All his innate abilities, new or old, have been condensed into Tiger Totems, which hold various powers. For example. The Vajra God Tiger Totem, Sage Tiger Totem, and Azure me Tiger Totem. The Vajra God Tiger Totem was a fusion of the Vajra God Tiger Body, the Guardian God Tiger Body, and Wild Forest''s blessing, allowing Huo Yuhao to possess immense physical prowess, defensive capability, and extreme healing. Sage Tiger Totem condensed from Huo Yuhao''s Nature Energy and Touki. Azure me Tiger Totem is from the self-created essence me that Huo Yuhao used to refine a weapon from his bones. There are nine Tiger Totems, mimicking the Spirit Ring System. Of course, Huo Yuhao could add more Totems in the future, but he could only condense nine for now. Huo Yuhao slowly stood up, stretching his body. "Come, Onikiri." He called out, and a halberd flew to his hand. The halberd is over two meters long with an azure-ck body, a clean axe de, a short de, and a serrated edge beneath. There are uneven w marks all over the halberd''s body, which exude primal presence. Huo Yuhao swung Onikiri, and a faint roar was released. At the same time, a divine might followed and blew the ravine up, exposing a bright sun to him. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Countless Tiger Kings, who had been searching for Huo Yuhao, sensed this and pulled up to his location. They were confused by Huo Yuhao''s motive but came there nheless. Soon, several figures appeared in the sky and looked down at Huo Yuhao, covering him with shadow. Huo Yuhao frowned, "Man, you''re really covering the sun from me." "Not cool, man." "Not cool." A white-haired man walked forward and said, "So, you''re the one who killed Howling Moon." "A sinful creature, she said." "Now I see how dangerous you''re..." Huo Yuhao dug his ears, "Yeah, whatever." "Let''s settle this fight once and for all." "All of you against..." "All of me." "Arrogant!" The white-haired man''s face darkened, and overwhelming pressure exploded from his body, trying to make Huo Yuhao kneel. Huo Yuhao indifferently yawned, and a fearsome ck Tiger Totem appeared, countering the white-haired man''s might. BOOM! Two auras shed. And the white-haired man is losing. Huo Yuhao smiled, "That is the Conqueror Tiger Totem." "Now let''s see how many of you can force me to use the remaining Totems." "FIGHT!" Huo Yuhao jumped and swung Onikiri, slicing the white-haired man''s body in half. ROARS! The Tiger Kings roared and transformed into beast forms, charging at Huo Yuhao. A blue-haired man with a serene expression is falling from the sky, and many giant tigers charge and open their mouths. But the next thing they saw was Nine Terrifying Tiger Totems that shook the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm. The Tiger Totems gave them the feeling of death, making their blood colder than it was supposed to be. Heaven and earth are shaking violently. A voice reverberated, stirring everyone''s soul. "Divine Totem Hunt - Killing Move: Symbol of Destruction." Huo Yuhao swung Onikiri with all his might. A bright blue beam swallowed the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm. SWOOOOOOOOOOOOSSH! DING! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! KACHA! SNAP! ... ... ... Huo Yuhao stood before the Primeval Wave White Tiger and stared at him nkly, "Well, that was anti-climactic." "..." The Primeval Wave White Tiger. What do you mean by anti-climactic? You fucking snap the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm in half. Huo Yuhao smiled, "What''s the matter? Cat got your tongue?" "You didn''t expect me to reach this far, don''t you?" The Primeval Wave White Tiger snorted, "Hmph, you pass." "You are worthy to know this king''s name." "Remember well, Brat! My name is Hosin!" "Now, get the hell out!" [Ding! You havepleted the Primeval Beast Trial!] [Calcting the objectives...] [You have exceeded the objectives] [You have killed 3,333 Tiger Kings and countless other Tiger Spirits] [You have impressed the Primeval Wave White Tiger Spirit] [You have achieved the impossible, breaking Bloodline Restriction] [You have be Primeval Bloodline Progenitor] [Calcting the rewards...] [You are rewarded with the following rewards] [1x Primeval Wave White Tiger''s True Ancestor Marrow Bone (EXXX)] [1x Primeval Wave White Tiger Record (Gradeless)] [1x Primeval Wave White Tiger''s Symbol Baptism (Gradless)] [1x Unknown Armor Piece (Gradeless/Combinable)] [Ding! You will be sent back to reality in three...] [Two...] Huo Yuhao looked at the rewards and chuckled, "What a Tsundere." [One!] ... Chapter 339: Primeval Wave White Tigers Concepts Chapter 339: Primeval Wave White Tiger''s Concepts --- Chapter 336 --- Huo Yuhao slowly regained consciousness and noticed himself staring at Ohara Ind and the crystal ocean not far away. "I''m back." Several months passed in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm, and an hour passed in reality. He didn''t move a muscle, though. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes again and digested the experience he had undergone so far. The taste of blood and raw flesh is still fresh in his mouth, even though it is illusory. He also gets over the experience of walking on four. After Huo Yuhao was sure enough, he didn''t move from his position and returned to being the human he used to be.Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and huffed, "My bestial instinct is still there, but there shouldn''t be any problem." "Raikou-san, can you make me a milk tea." He called out. "Yes, Yuhao~!" An excited voice responded, and Raikou came with a tray full of milk tea a secondter. She looked at Huo Yuhao and noticed the change in demeanor. Huo Yuhao exuded a pheromone that made Raikou''s heart flutter. Raikou shook her head, "Here is your milk tea, Yuhao Honey." Huo Yuhao nodded and awkwardly took the cup, sipping the milk tea slowly to wash over the taste of blood and raw flesh. He drank about six cups of milk tea before stopping. "How was the trial?" Raikou asked after some thought. Huo Yuhao smiled, "I passed." "Don''t worry, I only needed to adjust my state of mind." "Too many things happened at once." "We probably should stay in this timeline for another two or three days." "I see..." Raikou was worried, but since Huo Yuhao said that, she didn''t meddle with his matter. "I will prepare a warm meal. You won''t reject it, right?" "I won''t." Huo Yuhao replied immediately. He needed to cleanse his pte right now. Raikou nodded, "Good." "The meal will be ready in half an hour." She turned around, swaying her rear invitingly. Huo Yuhao looked at them and gulped. He felt his tiger''s instinct to mate rising and quickly suppressed it because he couldn''t let it control him. He nced at the sky, "This will be a long day..." ... ... Three dayster. Huo Yuhao focused onprehending the Primeval Devil Fruit''s powers, including the Primeval Wave White Tiger''s transformation and concepts. The Primeval Wave White Tiger''s transformation is easy to master as Huo Yuhao lived as a tiger once. The concepts, on the other hand, are problematic. The Primeval Wave White Tiger possessed four intrinsic concepts. Concept of Destruction Wave. Concept of Reverse Spiral. Concept of Primeval Beast. Concept of White Tiger King. Now, the way these concepts be problematic isn''t because they are hard to learn. On the contrary, they are easy toprehend because Huo Yuhao has learned simr concepts. The problem actually lies in whether Huo Yuhao wanted to fuse them with his existing concepts or let them stay independently. In the end, Huo Yuhao let them stay independently for now. He didn''t possess enough mastery to fuse concepts at such levels perfectly. Also, Huo Yuhao didn''t cultivate the Primeval Wave White Tiger Record nor absorb the Primeval Wave White Tiger''s True Ancestor Marrow Bone as he wanted to develop the Everblue Wave Undying Tiger''s bloodline first. He also holds off on Primeval Wave White Tiger''s Symbol Baptism, waiting for his main body to use it. The only reward Huo Yuhao utilized was the Unknown Robe Piece, which wasbinable to the Unknown Robe he got back then. He unlocked the Break Gxy Dawn Armor now, though with some limitations, as there is a long cooldown period every time he uses it. With such a bountiful harvest, Huo Yuhao has be more powerful and touched the Fifth Tier of the Omniversal Order when fusing everything he had into his ''true'' body. At the bottom of Tree of Knowledge, Huo Yuhao sighed, "Too bad I can''t turn those Tiger Kings into my Eternal Shadows." "Hosin should have let me keep some of them." "He''s such a petty Tsundere." You''re the Tsundere! Your whole family is Tsundere! The wisp of Hosin''s will in the Primeval Devil Fruit cursed at Huo Yuhao. Unfortunately, Hosin''s spirit was too weak to speak with Huo Yuhao as he had a heavy price to put thetter into the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm. "Yuhao, it''s time for lunch," Raikou said while bringing the otherdies. Huang Qiu''er, Kuina, Robin, and Tian Meng are walking behind her. They brought their own cooking, except Tian Meng, and wanted to see if Huo Yuhao liked it. Huo Yuhao happily ate their food because this is his way of coping after staying in the Primeval Beast Trial. In fact, thedies'' presence helped Huo Yuhao adapt back quickly. After eating his fill, Huo Yuhao noticed the changes in Huang Qiu''er and others. "It seems I''m not the only one who trained in thest few days." Huo Yuhaomented casually. Huang Qiu''er has raised her Soul Rank by a few levels, putting her close to the peak of 1st ss God. The same goes for Robin, who chased after at breakneck speed. Kuina also didn''tg behind, preparing for her Godhood Ascension with her cksmith Skills. Surprisingly, she didn''t choose to ascend with her Swordsmanship. Kuina must have realized something when Huo Yuhao was busy preparing and going through the Primeval Beast Trial. "Robin, you have cleaned everything in this timeline, right?" Huo Yuhao asked the female fatale nearby. Robin smiled faintly, "Yes, Yuhao-sama." "I''ve erased any traces we left behind in this timeline." "The only remaining trace will be this Tree of Knowledge." She gazed at the tall tree with an emotional look. "If you want to, I can bring this Tree of Knowledge with my World of Paper." "Sure." Huo Yuhao nodded, agreeing with her proposal. "But we must leave a sapling behind. So, the future won''t change much." "Leave that to me." Raikou chimed in. "After staying in this timeline for a few weeks, I actually have cultivated Tree of Knowledge''s saplings." "Is it the ordinary one?" Huo Yuhao made sure. Raikou giggled, "The sapling is the most ordinary Tree of Knowledge''s sapling. We can''t possibly leave behind a sapling that you have enhanced and nurtured here..." "That would be a disaster." "True..." Huang Qiu''er mumbled, recalling how much mess one being like Olvia Olga can make. Tian Meng has been weirdly silent and ate her share of food with a vignt look.'' She nudged Kuina''s elbow, and thetter nodded. Kuina finished her meal and said, "Master, I''ve reached level 99 with Clear Sky Fairy and absorbed two more red spirit rings." "I felt like I could break through anytime." "Can you assist me in ascension?" She looks very determined. Huo Yuhao stared at Kuina''s determined eyes and honestly replied, "No, you''re not ready." Kuina felt her heart drop when hearing Huo Yuhao''s answer. She looked down and clenched her fist. However, if Huo Yuhao said so, then she''s not ready. Huo Yuhao chuckled at her depressed look, "Don''t be so sad." "Who said you can''t ascend even if you''re not ready?" Kuina looked up, seeing Huo Yuhao''s grin. Huo Yuhao raised his finger, "I will help you ascend." "You can go as wild as you want. You don''t have to worry about Heavenly Tribtion." "Because I''m here." It was such an arrogant statement, but everyone believed it. After all, Huo Yuhao said it. "You can ascend tomorrow. After that, we can leave this timeline." Huo Yuhao patted Kuina''s head. "Do you understand?" "Mm, I understand." Kuina can''t describe how happy she is right now. My Master is THE BEST~! Chapter 340: Kuinas Ascension u0026 Confession Chapter 340: Kuina''s Ascension u0026 Confession --- Chapter 337 --- The next day. Huo Yuhao brought Kuina to the deserted ind. "You should start meditating." He instructed the blue-haired disciple. Kuina nodded and searched for afortable ce to meditate before immersing herself in the wonder of Godhood. She found a clean stone and sat on it. Huang Qiu''er, Robin, and Raikou watched from far away. "Do you think she can ascend?" Huang Qiu''er questioned Robin and Raikou.Robin smiled and replied, "You know the answer already, Qiu''er." "No matter how bad Kuina is, she wouldn''t fall ascending to the Realm of God." "After all, she has a guardian god that is Yuhao-sama." Huang Qiu''er put on a helpless expression because Kuina would definitely get Master''s help. Even she needed the Master''s help to fend against the Heavenly Tribtion. Raikou stared at the sky andmented, "That''s not necessarily true." "Kuina is a bright girl." "Even though Yuhao likes to pamper her, he never over-spoiled her in training. So, first, he''d see how far she could endure the Heavenly Tribtion by herself." "This will test Kuina''s discipline and determination." Hearing thisment, Huang Qiu''er giggled and gazed at the deserted ind with a look of utter confidence. "Then, she would be fine." "Kuina is the most disciplined girl I know." "She was also the most stubborn girl I know." Unlike Raikou and Robin, who only knew Kuina recently, Huang Qiu''er has lived with the girl for eight years in the Stasis Timeline. She has seen Kuina grow from a helpless girl to apetentdy. Kuina breathed in, recalling all the teachings Huo Yuhao had given her over the past years. She used to be a clueless girl, unaware of many things in the world. Once, Kuina believed Shimotsuki Vige was the only ce in this world, but her perspective expanded to epass multiple universes. It''s not hard to adapt when you have eight years of training, but that doesn''t stop Kuina from feeling like the ignorant girl she is. She didn''t know what stake Huo Yuhao had to make. She''s just his little disciple. So, Kuina hoped she could be more. A girl who he could be proud of. Atst, a woman. "Master, I''m ready." Kuina opened her eyes and stared at Huo Yuhao with pure determination. Huo Yuhao nodded and cast a barrier, filtering things for Kuina. Kuina felt warmness on her skin and summoned her Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Fairy, causing nine spirit rings to appear. She has six ck and three red spirit rings. Boom! A thunderp echoed in the area. Thunderclouds covered the sky and surrounded the deserted ind, which rained with icy cold droplets. "Let''s do this." Kuina focused on Clear Sky Fairy and watched it curl before her like a ball. She hugged the Clear Sky Fairy and transformed before everyone''s eyes, gaining wings of light. Her body bes lithe and wrapped in a blue silk dress. On her now longer ears, golden earrings shaped like twin cyclones dangling. Kuina stretched her hand and summoned a blue hammer with a long blue handle and a cloud-shaped hammerhead. Nine heavenly phenomenons happened, shing with the dark thunderclouds. KABOOM! A thunder strikes Kuina, electrifying her. Kuina gritted her teeth and swung her hammer, "Nine Skies Break the Order!" BOOM! The hammer blew the iing thunderbolts away. Kuina soared to the sky and challenged the Heavenly Tribtions ahead, creating hurricanes with her mere presence. She swung her hammer many times, creating shadows that shook the sky. She persists for three cycles of Heavenly Tribtions before showing a sign of exhaustion. The thunderclouds twisted, forming a spiral of death. A red lightning dragon appeared and roared at Kuina. Kuina clenched her hand on the hammer''s handle, "This will be myst attack..." "If I can''t break this lightning, I don''t deserve to be Master''s disciple." As the red lightning descended, charging at Kuina. "Clear out! MY BLUE SKY!" Kuina focused her strength on one point and drove her hammer upward, creating a turbulent space. ROAR! BOOOOOOM! The red lightning dragon and shockwave shed in the sky. They fiercely bombarded each other, but eventually. The red lightning dragon lost and scattered in the air. Huo Yuhao smiled at Kuina''s show of might, "Good girl." Unfortunately, the Heavenly Tribtion has yet to be over. In the spiral of thunderclouds, a flicker of golden lightning appeared. Kuina watched this and paled. She fell from the sky without an ounce of energy left. The feeling of death struck her. A terrifying golden spear with runic characters fell from the thunderstorm and chased after Kuina. ''I am going to die?'' She thought as her life shed before her eyes. All of a sudden, someone hugged Kuina and made her eyes widen. "M-Master..." Kuina saw the handsome blue-haired man. Huo Yuhao patted Kuina''s head, "Good job, leave the rest to me." He clenched his hand, and divine blue light coated his skin, giving it a mysterious aura. The golden spear was close to hitting them when Huo Yuhao punched it indifferently. BAM! SWOOOOOSH! BOOOM! Huo Yuhao''s strong punch doesn''t just destroy the golden spear but also the thunderclouds, clearing the blue sky. Kuina felt the baptism of the world, feeling every cell in her body warmed in delight. The tenth spirit ring appeared as the sign of her breakthrough to level 101, fitting her in the Wild God Realm. Of course, this isn''t over as Kuina''s cultivation base kept increasing to 110, and the 11th spirit ring manifested. Both spirit rings are divine, amassed a million years of age, and shining with azure color and golden linings. With this, Kuina officially has be a 3rd ss God. Kuina brimmed with happiness as she bravely hugged Huo Yuhao and kissed his lips. "Master, I love you!" She confessed her feelings immediately. Huo Yuhao was stunned before chuckling helplessly, "This girl." Kuina stared him in the eyes and pouted, "Your answer?" "Okay, okay, I will ept this confession." "Yey~!!" ... [Name: Shimotsuki Kuina] [Race: Third-Wave Primeval Human/Goddess] [Age: 18] [Martial Soul: Azure-Tailed Swallow(7+), Clear Sky Fairy(11+)] [Concept: Kun-Peng, Sword, Azure Sky, and Ocean, cksmith] [Devil Fruit: Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Kun-Peng] [Cultivation: Level 111/3rd ss God] [Battle Prowess: Level 111/Third ss God] [Potential: SSS] [Rmended Path: Sky-Breaking Sword Lordess, Girl in the Storm of des, Divine Swordsmith, Primeval Sword Goddess, Dragon Nest''s Commander, Huo Yuhao''s Concubine] [Description: A girl who defied her Canon Event due to her Godly Teacher, thriving on a new path of happiness] ... ... After helping Kuina and epting her love confession, Huo Yuhao brought her to thedies. She was being chummy-chummy with Huo Yuhao but soon found none of thedies were jealous. They only stared at her with a proud look. "It''s good that you have confessed your feelings." Huang Qiu''er praised Kuina''s bravery. "Hehe, that was a bit cheeky but cute." Robin covered her mouth and giggled. "Hic! My baby is growing so fast!" Raikou wiped the nonexistent tears from the corner of her eyes. ''Who is your baby!'' Kuina was speechless. However, soon, she would discover the truth. "Okay, stop teasing her." Huo Yuhao shook his head in theirical disy of congrattions. "It''s time to leave this timeline." "Robin, how is the Tree of Knowledge?" Robin saluted yfully, "Stored perfectly." "The sapling?" "nted." "Good, we can leave now." "Brace yourself." Huo Yuhao smiled at them. Thedies nced at each other and nodded in agreement, confusing Kuina within Huo Yuhao''s embrace. "GROUP HUGGIES!" Raikou hugged Huo Yuhao from the front. Huang Qiu''er and Robin followed, hugging Huo Yuhao from each side. Kuina was ''literally'' squished, and her eyes widened in shock, "W-Wait!" "You guys aren''t following the script!" "This is not part of my n-!" [Teleporting...] SWOOSH! They disappeared from the Ancient Ohara timeline. Chapter 341: Fourth Timeline, Gold D. Rogers Execution! Chapter 341: Fourth Timeline, Gold D. Roger''s Execution! --- Chapter 338 --- Tiny World, Logue Town. One Day before Gold D. Roger''s execution. On the sea nearby, a whirlpool suddenly appeared and spat some people in white coats out. "Blee-! I got seawater in my mouth." Kuina stuck out her tongue, having a very curt expression. She was still hugging Huo Yuhao, but the same applies to the otherdies. Huo Yuhao patted Kuina with divine power before saying gently, "Kuina, you should start learning to control your Divine Energy or Immortal Qi." "So you won''t get into this inconvenience again."Kuina pouted, "I''ve just ascended recently. This whole divine thing is new to me." "I will learn how to control my new power quickly." Huo Yuhao smiled, "I''m d you didn''t lose your spark." He looked around and asked Evo about this timeline''s introduction, which made him raise his eyebrow because they were one day away from the beginning of a new era. The Great Era of Pirates will start tomorrow. "I..." Huo Yuhao was about to share the information but fumbled slightly because his body felt heavy. He shook his head helplessly, "Before I tell you about this timeline, can you guys stop hugging me?" Huo Yuhao is suffering from sess. Well, it''s not like he doesn''t like it. There is a time and ce for being intimate. Unfortunately, they hugged him even more. "Eh, but I want more Huggies~!" Raikouined adorably. "Agree, a hug isn''t a bad thing." Huang Qiu''er nodded with all seriousness. "Hehe, I''m just following my heart," Robin added coyly. Kuina stared at them in disbelief, "T-This..." Huo Yuhao wryly stared at them and said, "Okay, stop teasing Kuina. You don''t have to y things like this." After saying this, thedies finally left Huo Yuhao''s body and floated in the air. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and exined, "Okay, hear me out. We are currently in the right timeline, one day before Gold D. Roger is getting executed." "I didn''t sense anything weird yet." "However, we can expect the worst tomorrow." "Why?" Huang Qiu''er tilted her in confusion. Robin''s eyes lit up, "Don''t tell me the Great Era of Pirates will trigger a change in this timeline?" Huo Yuhao nodded, "Most likely. If an event could change and impact the Tiny World, Roger''s deration about One Piece is one of them." Raikou pondered briefly before speaking, "We should prevent that by stopping Roger, right?" "No, that won''t do." Huo Yuhao and Robin answered simultaneously. Robin coughed, "Yuhao-sama, let me exin this." "Raikou-san, sometimes you can do nothing about certain events and developments. I called it the Canon Event. For Tiny World, Roger''s presence as the Pirate King and his deration about One Piece is a canon event." "Change that, and the future will get ruined, creating another branch of the unknown timeline. In fact, when my body got stolen, this was the very thing I was afraid of." "I see..." Raikou''s thought was too simple. She forgets that her past also consists of twisted timelines and paradoxes. She was a servant, a Heroic Spirit, in a continuous battle called the Holy Grail War. Robin lifted her finger, "The more dangerous impact of changing the timeline is causing a butterfly effect." "For example, My young self is living in Ohara. I have two years after the Pirate King''s execution before the World Government used Buster Call to destroy my ind." "But if Roger somehow survived, the Ohara Incident might change..." "My homnd won''t get destroyed, or It will fall even worse." "We can''t gamble on it." "Isn''t it a good thing if your homnd doesn''t get destroyed?" Kuina couldn''t help but ask. Robin nced at Huo Yuhao and replied, "As much as I wanted to save my homnd, its destruction built theplex person I am now." "It''s necessary for my development. It is my canon event." "If I hadn''t gone through that, I wouldn''t have met Yuhao-sama." "If I can''t meet Yuhao-sama... Well, I can''t imagine my fate after Tequ Wolf." She looked at Kuina this time and continued, "Imagine if you didn''t meet Yuhao-sama. It would be unfortunate, no?" Kuina and the others shivered because they didn''t want such a scenario to happen. Meeting Yuhao was likely the best thing that had ever happened in their lives. He didn''t just change their lives but also their destinies. So, the panicked thought of a world without Huo Yuhao makes them feel ufortable and miserable. Huo Yuhaoforted them with a pat, "Calm down. That wouldn''t happen." "Our fates are connected. Mere butterfly effects won''t sever it." "If not, I wouldn''t meet Qiu''er, Raikou, and Robin every time we moved into a new timeline." "Oh, I never thought of that before." Robin smiled in realization. "Jeez, you''re giving us a heart attack." Kuina couldn''t help butin to Robin. "Well, my bad." Robin apologized to thedies. Huo Yuhao gazed at the cloudy sky and sensed the Tiny World with his Divine Sense, still finding nothing wrong with it. He sighed, "Let''s find a ce to stay first." "I''m also hungry after traveling through time." "Okay!" 4x. The fourdies agreed immediately. They disguised themselves and went to Logue Town. Unfortunately, many hotels are full because of the impending event tomorrow. Some visitors literally have to camp outside. On the good side, they still found a decent restaurant on the outer part of Logue Town. Entering the restaurant, Huo Yuhao sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere. Several gazes are ''instantly'' locked on him, and some aren''t very friendly. He''s currently wearing a ck demonic mask, which resembles the White Ogre Mask he wore in the past, so they shouldn''t be able to see his face. Kuina and others also wore their hoods, so their facial features were hard to see, even with Observation Haki. Huo Yuhao ignored these gazes and walked to the counter, "I want fifty meals. If you have meat or fish, throw them in, and I''d like them to be medium rare or rare." The waiter behind the counter stared at Huo Yuhao in amazement, "Is there anything else you want?" Huo Yuhao tapped his finger on the counter, "Do you have wine?" The waiter smiled, "We have wine." "Give me three bottles of red and four bottles of white." "That would be 40,000 Belly." The waiter counted the bills. Huo Yuhao reached for his breast pocket and created 40,000 Belly with his material creations. It was a bit hical, but hepensated the restaurant owner for its building safety for the next three days. He ced down the Belly, and everyone raised their brows. "Exactly, 40k Belly." The waiter mumbled, cing the money in the safe. "The food will be ready and delivered to your table in fifteen minutes." Huo Yuhao nodded and went to the table that thedies had chosen. He sat and waited while observing the Tiny World with his Divine Sense. However, the peace didn''tst long. A man with a bear belly and yellow teeth walked to Huo Yuhao, "Hey, you''re not from around here, ain''tcha?" "You don''t have the aura of those people." "Those people?" Huo Yuhao stared at him calmly. The manughed, "Bahaha, it seems my guess is correct. You''re just a visitor who doesn''t know about the iing storm." "And does it even matter to me?" Huo Yuhao responded nonchntly. "Even if that so-called iing storm is the end of the world, nothing can stop me." "Tsk, tsk, tsk. How arrogant." The beer-bellied man shook his head. "People like you always die the fastest." "Is that so? Why don''t you try?" Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes gleamed inside the dark mask. The beer-bellied man felt something horrible was about to happen when he gazed at those shining blue eyes. He trembled like a wet dog. Huo Yuhao indifferently closed his eyes, "Scram." The beer-bellied man ran away, leaving the whole room confused. "Your food is ready." The waiteres with a huge tray. Huo Yuhao nodded and ate silently, unaware of two green eyes staring at him from afar. For a second, that is. Huo Yuhao nced in the particr directionzily, and his lips curled up, "Well, that''s interesting." "It seems we aren''t the only Time Traveler here." Chapter 342: Time Remnant, Amatsuki Toki Chapter 342: Time Remnant, Amatsuki Toki --- Chapter 339 --- Huo Yuhao finished his food and washed it with white wine. It wasn''t an incredibly delicious meal, but enough to fill his stomach for a few hours. In the first ce, Huo Yuhao wasn''t picky with his food after experiencing life as a tiger. His pte has recovered, but he can''t say the same for some habits. At the back of Huo Yuhao''s head, he focused his divine sense on the green eyes that observed him from afar. It was a woman shrouded with a time aura. Huo Yuhao''s lips curled slightly, "Let''s split up after this." "However, to be safe, you will form a team of two.""Robin and Qiu''er." "Kuina and Raikou." "Eh?" Kuina didn''t like this arrangement at all. Meanwhile, Raikou loves it because she can be close to Kuina and nurture her. Huo Yuhao smiled at Kuina, "I''m pairing you with Raikou for a reason. She has controlled Divine Energy earlier than Qiu''er and Robin, which makes her a master at it." "She could help with your training." Raikou smiled and said calmly, "Well,paring Divine Power from my homeworld and Douluo Dalu is a bit awkward. But yeah, we can make it work." "They are essentially simr." "Not figuratively, though." "Okay..." Kuina doesn''t have a choice but to ept it. After that, they split up from the restaurant and explored Logue Town. Raikou and Kuina explored the area outside Logue Town and looked for clues about Phantom. They''d also train outside because doing it here catches too much attention. On the other hand, Huang Qiu''er and Robin stayed in Logue Town. They are waiting for the legendary Pirate King Gold D. Roger to appear. Of course, Robin also looked out for the World Government''s agents as they were annoying flies in this scenario. Lastly, Huo Yuhao is strolling on the Logue Town''s dock. He walked down a stair casually as if the tense atmosphere from approaching execution didn''t affect him. ''Hmm, I still couldn''t sense Liu Mei, Valerie, and Rossweisse''s aura.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. ''But they should be fine because I didn''t sense any ominous feeling like when I did sense Robin''s presence.'' ''So far, I have encountered three Phantom Lords.'' ''The first one is an ind-sized turtle, then a moon, and recently a body-possessing demon.'' ''Each of them is unique.'' ''Like a series of codes...'' He leaned on a nearby wooden pole. "Hey, you. You''re not from around here, aren''t you?" A voice greeted Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao found this line familiar because someone asked him about it earlier in the restaurant. He nced to the right and saw a skinny man in cowboy-like attire. "You don''t look like someone from around here, either." Huo Yuhao said with a faint smile behind his mask. "Well, I''m not a folk here, but I visited this ce often." The cowboy returned with a grin. "The name is Tony Steel. Nice to meet you." Huo Yuhao stared at the extended hand and took it, "Yu Long. Not your typical guy. "Haha, you''re humorous." The cowboyughed in amusement. He shook Huo Yuhao''s hand tight before releasing it, making thetter raise an eyebrow slightly. "Be careful of your steps, kid." "This ce won''t be safe anytime soon." "You, too." Huo Yuhao watched the cowboy walking into the distance. He looked down at his hand and mumbled, "Such a grip. He shouldn''t be an ordinary mortal." "Still, that gun in his hip is more interesting." ording to Huo Yuhao''s acute sense, the revolver in the cowboy''s holster is a spiritual weapon. Well, a half-step spiritual weapon, to be exact. Itcks spiritual energy. There is also one more intriguing quality about Tony Steel. He has soon-to-be-expired luck. In other words, Tony''s luck will run out soon. "Hmm, what an interesting fellow." Huo Yuhao waited on the wooden pole and closed his eyes. An hourter, a green wisp of energy shed by. At the same time, the world''s time seems to stop by its appearance. Huo Yuhao didn''t move a muscle or open his eyes, letting the invisible energy scan him from top to bottom. "Another one..." A feminine voice brushed Huo Yuhao''s ears. "There is another irregr appearing in this timeline." "This is weird." "Not to mention, I can''t see his face." The voice owner brushed Huo Yuhao''s blue hair and touched his mask, wanting to peek slightly. Click! A crisp soundes from the mask, and Huo Yuhao''s face is ''naturally'' revealed. Sharp gasps escaped the figure''s mouth. "S-So handsome." "How can someone be this handsome? Even in other timelines and my homnd, I''ve never seen someone this handsome..." Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes and spooked her, "Thank you for the praise." "Kyaaa~!" The woman squealed andically fell to the ground. Huo Yuhao smirked and looked down amusingly. "I see... Now that makes sense." [Scanning...] [Ding!] [Name: Amatsuki Toki/Tokino(True)] [Race: Time Remnant/Ostera Race''s Royalty] [Age: Timeless (mentally 28)] [Concept: Time] [Cultivation: Approximately Level 32/Soul Elder] [Battle Prowess: Potentially Level 51/Soul King] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: None, Have yet to join the Dragon Nest] [Description: A Time Remnant from Ostera Race''s Royalty, who decided to experience hardship and temper herself in the lower realm, reincarnating herself as Amatsuki Toki] A tall woman entered Huo Yuhao''s vision. She has long light-green hair that flows down her back except for two strands in front of her fair yet valiant face. She wore a short pink kimono with crescent moons and a flower ornament with a chain of pearls on the right side of her hair. Huo Yuhao recognized her immediately, "You''re indeed the only one with a strong Power of Time." "Nice to meet you, Amatsuki Toki-san." Toki stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. She stuttered, "H-How did you-!" Huo Yuhao chuckled, "How did I do what?" "How did I move in this frozen time? Or how did I know about your identity?" "Well, not your real identity, but you get the gist." Toki''s expression turned dark quickly when Huo Yuhao mentioned her real identity because it was sensitive to her. "Who are you? Why are you in the Tiny World?" Toki stared at Huo Yuhao warily. Huo Yuhao raised his index finger, shaking it yfully, "No, we aren''t ying that game here." "If the Ostera Race could use Tiny World as a garden, who said others can''t do the same? I''m just a visitor from another world." "That''s impossible!" Toki''s eyes widened. "The passage into Tiny World is ''tightly'' sealed by my family, and there shouldn''t be more passages besides the guarded one." "Not even those from Light Heaven Realm and Beast Blood Realm could enter that passage." ''Just who are you?'' Toki thought solemnly. Huo Yuhao shook his finger again, "Everything is easy when the will of the world is on your side. Also, who said my world is at the same level as your homeworld." "Well, that''s not good. You''re looking down on me too much." After hearing Huo Yuhao''s tant expose, Toki choked on her air because she didn''t think of that possibility. And this terrified her extremely. Myriad Heaven Realm is one of the high-ranking nes in the Sacred Gift Cosmos, and the handsome said his world is above her homeworld. She only heard the theory about it. To think, she would encounter a being from a higher realm in Tiny World out of all ces. How ironic. "I surrender!" Toki decided to submit, kneeling before Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao was surprised, "I thought you''d put up a fight. Toki bitterly sighed, "I''m only a Time Remnant formed by the Concept of Time. The ''real'' me has lost her memory of being Ostera Race''s Royalty and be one with Tiny World. She even married and had kids with Tiny World''s native..." "My fate is sealed. I expected my gardeners to notice me, but they betrayed me instead." "You''re betrayed?" Huo Yuhao was genuinely surprised. Toki nodded, "Yes, if not, my situation wouldn''t be this miserable." Chapter 343: Ostera Race, Three Great Royal Families Chapter 343: Ostera Race, Three Great Royal Families --- Chapter 340 --- Huo Yuhao and Toki sat on the edge of the dock, staring at the stormy ocean. Toki opened her mouth and said, "My real name is Tokino. I''m the heiress of the Great Toki Family." "In the Myriad Heaven Realm, only the Great Kukan Family and Great Tan Family bear the same power and responsibility as my family. We ruled and protected it from outside." "But you know..." "No matter how much we tried, there would ''always'' be rotten eggs in the basket." She looked up, "When we found the Tiny World in the corner of Sacred Gift Cosmos, my family hid it from other Royalties and sent three of our best Concept Fruit Gardeners here.""It was a sess. One gardener returned with an Ultimate-grade nk Concept Fruit and helped my father raise his cultivation by a leap." "He''s currently the Patriarch and one of the strongest people in the Myriad Heaven Realm." "Motivated by my father''s great increase in cultivation, I and nine other talented members of the Great Toki Family entered the Tiny World." "Ten?" Huo Yuhao was surprised by this knowledge. After all, Oceana didn''t show him anything about this. Toki nodded, "Yes, ten." "However, seven of them died in the Gardener''s scheme." "The rest are me and two other elites from the main branch." "One chose to reincarnate and seal his memory." "Onepletely sacrificed her concept power and became the mortal of this world." "And there is me, who leaped through space-time continuously, leaving Time Remnant so the Gardener couldn''t attack me." "It was a huge mistake, though." A bitter smile formed on Toki''s beautiful face. "My ''real'' self arrived in the future and experienced an intense soul shock, leading to her amnesia." "She fully embraced herself as the Tiny World''s native, married to a man called Kozuki Oden, and bore two children. Those children bore one of the strongest genes in this world." "Their potential is only slightly worse than mine, but s. They would only stay here for the rest of their lives like a frog on the bottom well." "You''re surprisingly epting of your ''true'' self''s deed." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but question. Toki sighed weakly, "When you get trapped in this timeline for many years, you don''t have any choice but to ept your fate. I lost the count after 10,000 years." "On top of that, I can''t do anything to change my circumstances." "I''m just a ghost in this passage of time." "And it''s all that gardener''s fault. He was a spy from another high-ranked realm in the Sacred Path Cosmos and nned to use Tiny World as his bargaining chip to climb higher in status." "Are you talking about the tall andnky gardener?" Huo Yuhao asked again. Toki''s eyes widened before returning to normal, "It seems you know about him already." "Yes, that''s right." "He''s the gardener." "His name is San Imu." "San Imu..." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. "If I''m not wrong, another gardener who stayed behind with him, no?" Toki was surprised inside but still answered, "Yes." "However, we killed her in retaliation." "Her name is Sandra Nefertari." "There is a connection between her and the Nefertari Royal Family, one of the World Government''s founders." "I used to think she originated from the same realm as Imu." She added with uncertainty. "However, I didn''t think so anymore because she left Sacred Path Records everywhere." "It seems she and Imu have a break." She stared at Huo Yuhao and spoke softly, "I think there is a possibility Sandra Nefertaru got reincarnated." "Even though such a technique is ''naturally'' forbidden in Ostera Race, she was one of the best gardeners who learned about it thoroughly." "She can''t die that easily." "Imu also knew this and had been putting pressure on the Nefertari Royal Family since the Void Century." "He was afraid that Sandra would appear out of nowhere and escape from Tiny World, telling others about his deed." Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "This is moreplicated than I thought." "Was Imu and Sandra stronger than you guys?" Toki shook her head gently, "Technically speaking, they are just gardeners with lower cultivation than us... However, we didn''t factor in the fact that they are using Tiny World''s restriction, which caught us off guard." "It was embarrassing, to be honest." "We are like animals on a chopping block." "As for now, Imu might be the strongest existence in the Tiny World." "He has consumed more nk Concept Fruit than anyone else in the Myriad Heaven Realm, gaining the title of King." "Your race focused on the cultivation of Immortality. How many realms were there in your power system?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. Toki cleared her throat and answered, "Our system is a bit unorthodox as we possess unstable gic codes. Our cultivation solely focuses on fixing that defect and slowly climbs to a higher realm." "There are seven major realms and nine sub-realms." "Lifeblood, Foundation Realm, Soul Realm, Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul, World Step Realm, King Realm, and Saint Realm." "There is another realm, the Immortal Realm, but it was a myth." "Before this, I was at the peak of the World Step Realm." "Even if I somehow recovered my power, Imu has reached King Realm and could pummel me to the ground." Huo Yuhao asked Evo to analyze Myriad Heaven Realm''s power system andpare it to Douluo Dalu''s. After a few seconds, he got his answer and smiled because people in the Saint Realm only amount to a Demi-God Realm. Of course, this won''t make Huo Yuhao underestimate Imu. Thetter''s knowledge of the mystical aspect might be more powerful than his. ording to Toki, Imu is very cunning and a great schemer. He also won''t hesitate to do things. Having such qualities makes him a dangerous enemy. Huo Yuhao is still curious about something, though. "Do you know the origin of D and Celestial Dragons?" Hearing this question, Toki was confused for a second. She hesitated briefly and replied solemnly, "Those who bear the name and blood of D are prisoners of the Great War that our race caught." "Most of them got cursed with Ostera Race''s Blood Binding, which made their bloodline and physique resemble us. It will make them suffer from bad luck." "The same applies to Celestial Dragons, but they are special." "They are actually Traitors of the Ostera Race, but we can''t kill them due toTan Royalty''s voted them out from execution. But I think it was because Tan Royalty is biologically rted to them, giving them a leeway." "Not to mention, they are a coteral branch family of Tan Royalty." Huo Yuhao raised his brow, "Wait, doesn''t that make other Royalty know your family had Tiny World?" Toki giggled weakly, "Our race is very inefficient when ites to punishing others." "Because we are too kind toward our family." "Of course, the matter of punishment is decided in three steps." "The first one is the sentence, and Great Tan Family''s representative controls this." "The second one is how long the sentence will be applied. The Great Kukan Family''s representative controls this. Huo Yuhao found this bizarre, "So, I guessed your family is the one who conducted the punishment?" "Yes. The Great Toki Family conducted all the punishment." Toki nodded with a somewhat proud tone. "But as you can see, it''s backfired." "Even though the Celestial Dragons didn''t pose much threat, their Ostera Race''s bloodline served as a strong catalyst for Imu to do unspeakable things." Chapter 344: Accepting Toki to the Dragon Nest Chapter 344: epting Toki to the Dragon Nest --- Chapter 341 --- Huo Yuhao was ''honestly'' enlightened by Toki''s story. He understood the Myriad Heaven Realm''s structure, thanks to her. Even then, it seemed she was still hiding something from him. And he needs to test her out of it. Huo Yuhao fiddled with his mask and asked, "You said beside you, two other royalty members of Great Toki survived the scheme." "One chose to reincarnate." "And thetter chose to be an ordinary mortal.""Who were they?" Toki put on an awkward expression before answering truthfully, "The one who chose to reincarnate was one of the Four Emperors(Yonko), The Red-Haired Shanks." "He sealed his memory and bloodline aura,pletely hiding from Imu''s probing eyes. However, he fought with Imu many times as Shankster in the future." "At this timeline, he''s only fifteen." Huo Yuhao''s eyes widened for a second. He didn''t expect a character like the Red-Haired Shank to be royalty from Ostera Race, but it makes sense. Out of other Emperors, the Red-Haired Shank possessed a quality that put him above the rest. Heck! Huo Yuhao believed Shanks had mastered Divine Might in one way or another despite not having his old memory. "Who is thest royalty?" Huo Yuhao gazed into Toki''s green eyes. Toki sighed, "It''s my stepsister." "Your stepsister?" "Yes, my stepsister. She actually sacrificed hertent blood and burned her soul to protect me. s, we still fell for the gardener''s scheme." She had such a rueful expression. "Her name is Makino, and she''d stay in the East Blue Foosha Vige as a Barmaid." "Her life is peaceful now. If possible, I didn''t want her to suffer any longer." Huo Yuhao was shocked again, ''How many Ostera Race royalty get so close to Luffy exactly? Don''t tell me they know about Protagonist Halo?'' ''This is too good to be coincidence.'' ''No, they are probably drawn by Luffy''s luck.'' ''As a Protagonist, Luffy possessed immense luck. And just being on his good side will affect their luck, too.'' ''Since Shanks ''identally'' gave Luffy Gomu-Gomu no Mi, he should have known about Joyboy''s will.'' ''Interesting, very interesting. It seems Shanks is preparing to go on an all-out war against Imu.'' Huo Yuhao nced at Toki and checked her aura of fortune, finding it swaying unnaturally. It indicates her luck is nearing its end. However, the aura of fortune also slowly gained vigor and became vibrant gold after some time. This cycle kept happening and made Huo Yuhao feel amused. Even though Toki is just a Time Remnant, her presence is still ''indirectly'' connected to the past and future. It kept her alive because the past gave her background, and the future gave her a string to walk on. She''s a ghost in a constant loop of existence. "Toki, do you want to live?" Huo Yuhao asked casually. Toki''s eyes widened, "This, I''m not sure I caught what you meant, Sir." Huo Yuhao shrugged, "It is what it is. I can give you a chance to live as a person again. A new fate, a new body, and even a new identity." Toki stared at him dumbly. At first, she thought Huo Yuhao wanted to give her a chance to reincarnate, but such a method wouldn''t work. She''s a Time Remnant. The Concept of Time formed her based on Amatsuki Toki''s memory. Unless Huo Yuhao wielded the Law of Time, she could only live like this for the rest of her life. Besides that, Huo Yuhao also needs the Law of Life and Death to defy her situation. And there is onest step, that is Soul Generation. Toki knew she was a soulless existence. Her grasp on reality is that she was the Time Remnant of Amatsuki Toki and possessed some of her memory. "It''s just a yes and no question." Huo Yuhao chuckled. Toki was unsure but still answered, "If I can live, then I want to live!" Huo Yuhao nodded in acknowledgment, "Good answer. Remember those words well." Weirdly, Toki''s vision blurred inplete darkness. She somehow fell into a dreaming-like state, even though she couldn''t sleep or dream. A gentle blue light struck her. It was gentle warmth and freshness that swept all her senses. For once, Toki felt her soul was gettingforted, something she shouldn''t have. It''s like being hugged by a gentle mother. Slowly but surely, Toki sensed her surroundings into reality. She could smell, taste, hear, touch, and finally saw the familiar-looking dock. "Awake yet?" An amused voice brushed Toki''s ears. Toki hurriedly looked to the left and saw Huo Yuhao staring at her with beautiful blue eyes. Those blue eyes are outstanding, better than any ocean or blue sky, and have white specks like stars. Coupled with Huo Yuhao''s handsome face, Toki felt her heartbeat rising rapidly. Her face flushed in panic because these feelings were new to her. She touched her chest and felt it beat, "Sir, this is..." "You''re alive now. Cherish it." Huo Yuhao waved his hand dismissively as if he had done a menial task. Toki cried in joy. She epted her fate when her ''real'' self time-traveled toward past and future, leaving her as nothing but discarded time. She has no power. However, her fate turned around. Who would have thought the random irregr she met would be this godly? He didn''t just overturn her life but also granted her the right to fight for her well-being. "I, Toki, can''t exin how grateful I am." "SIR! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR!" Toki kneeled with tears and snots. "From now on, I will do my best to serve you!" "Please ept me as your servant!" Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "Are you sure? Being my servant isn''t an easy matter, you know?" "I will do it!" Toki said with a determined look. "Very well. You will be my servant from now on." Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement. "However..." "It seems you''re hiding something from me earlier." Toki broke into cold sweats and stuttered, "I-I have no excuse." "What did you hide from me exactly?" Toki hesitated before replying, "Actually, another irregr appeared in this timeline before you." "She was an unruly fellow but extremely strong without a doubt." "I promised not to leak her presence to outsiders." "Oh, right. Now that I realize it, your coat looks simr to hers." Huo Yuhao''s eyes lit up, "Do you know her name?" "And if possible, describe her physical features because I might know her." Toki nodded and answered, "She''s a young woman with silver hair and aqua-blue eyes. Beside the cloak, she wore skimpy battle armor beneath it and looked like a Valkyrie." "Her name is Rossweisse." "Oh, right. Rossweisse said she was from another world called Draconic Deus and currently worked in the Dragon Nest." A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao''s face, "Found her." "Pardon, Sir?" Toki tilted her head in confusion at his reaction. Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Well, it''s normal for you to be confused." "I haven''t introduced myself all this time." "Let me tell you something then..." "My name is Huo Yuhao." "And I''m the leader of Dragon Nest." Toki froze like a statue and stared at Huo Yuhao as if she had witnessed a God for the first time. She has befriended Rossweisse all these years and learned many things from her. However, one name always stuck in Rossweisse''s story. And this name belongs to an existence that Toki didn''t dare to imagine. Not even Three Great Kings of Myriad Heaven Realm could afford to offend this person. Ars Goetia. The Conqueror of the Worlds. The Blue-Eyed Dragon God. The Primordial Human God. Draconic Deus''s God Emperor. And finally, the Dragon Nest''s Leader. Huo Yuhao. Chapter 345: Worldfall Monolith Time Clock, Finding Rossweisse! Chapter 345: Worldfall Monolith Time Clock, Finding Rossweisse! --- Chapter 342 --- Reverence. A Complete Reverence. Toki would have never thought the hottie she met was the infamous figure that Rossweise mumbled in her drunkard state. It felt surreal, but she knew this was her reality. She even pinched herself to check whether it was real or not. Huo Yuhao looked amused by her reaction and said casually, "Don''t be so shocked. Even though Rossweise probably described me as if I had three heads and six arms, I''m just a man with extra strengths, that''s it." ''You said that, but you revived me with not just the Law of Time, but also the Law of Life, Death, and Soul...'' Toki was speechless. Although Huo Yuhao tries to be humble, his shy abilities say otherwise.She could count people who wielded Universal Laws with one hand in the Myriad Heaven Realm. They are legends who only learned and used one Universal Law their whole lives. On the other hand, Huo Yuhao has four, if not more. A man with extra strength. Then, this extra strength is beyond her understanding. Huo Yuhao ignored Toki''s baffled look and stretched his hand, patting her head gently a few times. Toki looked up to him in surprise and felt a warm energy flowing into her new body, seemingly breaking the invisible shackles on her soul. Everything felt bizarre yet excellent for Toki as she wondered what this energy was. Unknown to Toki, it was Divine Energy. To be exact, Divine Energy from Huo Yuhao''s God of Fortune. After epting Toki into the Dragon Nest, Huo Yuhao has to treat Toki''s fortune and awaken her Martial Soul. Thankfully, the procedures weren''t challenging because he had done the same to Kuina. Some might think Huo Yuhao did this impulsively, but he didn''t. Toki is a key to enter into the Myriad Heaven Realm and conquer it. Yes, that''s another universe in the bag for Huo Yuhao. Her value exceeds everyone in the Tiny World, besides some exceptions. A massive white clock tower behind Toki and the clock above ticked oddly and shone with a bright green light. Huo Yuhao''s eyebrow raised slightly because this might be the biggest Martial Soul he had seen. On top of that, this clock tower possessed such a pure Law of Time. It was still the entry stage, but it was eptable enough, especially for Toki, who uses the Concept of Time. [Name: Worldfall Monolith Time Clock] [Grade: SSS] [Type: Tool-type] [Description: The profound manifestation of time. It appeared as a giant clock tower but actually bore a bigger secret than that] ... [Name: Toki/Tokino(True)] [Race: True Human/Ostera Race''s Royalty] [Age: Biologically 20 (mentally 28)] [Concept: Time] [Martial Soul: Worldfall Monolith Time Clock [Cultivation: Level 10/Starting from Zero] [Battle Prowess: Level 10/Starting from Zero] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: Time Twin Demoness, True Worldfall Witch, Dragon Nest''s Time Protector, Lady of Moment, Azure River Queen, Huo Yuhao''s concubine] [Description: A Time Remnant from Ostera Race''s Royalty, who underwent a rebirth and vowed to be her savior''s servant. She wished to serve him with the best she could, knowing she couldn''t pay him back] After a while, Toki blinked and looked stunned. She turned around and saw the giant clock tower in disbelief. "T-This..." "Martial Soul. I''m sure Rossweisse has told you about it." Huo Yuhao gave her another pat on the head. "Your Martial Soul is a Worldfall Monolith Time Clock, a rare one." "But it suits you well." "I have transferred knowledge about the Spirit Master''s power system." "There are many paths you can take..." "But you can only choose one between these three runes." Toki moved her gaze to Huo Yuhao''s hand and spotted three rocks with ck runic characters. She knew these rocks weren''t ordinary at first nce alone. They radiate such pure heaven and earth energy. Besides the energy, she sensed the Aura of Time from the rocks. Toki felt her Martial Soul wanted to use three of them, but Huo Yuhao said she could only choose one. She trusted her instinct and picked the rock on the left because it had a great Aura of Time. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Your sense is sharp, after all. You''ve chosen a Rune Stone from a very rare Spirit Beast." "Heavenly River Moment Snail. Even though it''s only 10,000 years old Spirit Beast, it possesses abilities and bloodline that exceed ordinary 100,000 years old Spirit Beast." "In the legend, people say that Moment Snail gained the baptism of Heavenly River and could rewind time to protect itself from drought." "Take it." Huo Yuhao threw the rune stone at Toki. "However, you shouldn''t absorb this rune stone yet." "You must stabilize your Spirit Circuits and master at least 2nd level of Universal Breathing Technique." "Sir-! I mean, Yuhao-sama." Toki caught the rune stone clumsily. "I know this is redundant, but thank you!" Huo Yuhao shook his head, "You''re wee. But maybe you should tell me where Rossweisse is now." "She''s in grave danger if we don''t find her by tomorrow." "Are you perhaps talking about Phantom?" Toki realized what Huo Yuhao implied. Huo Yuhao nodded, "Tomorrow will trigger a wave, and a Phantom Lord might appear to ruin this timeline." Toki put away the rune stone and replied, "Understood. I will escort you to Rossweisse''s home immediately." They left Logue Town and traveled several hundred thousand kilometers before arriving at an ind. Huo Yuhao looked down at the ind and found it surrounded by manyyers of Defensive Magic Barrier and some Runes. What makes things more interesting is that the barrier also acts as an energy purifier. The natural energy within the ind is probably a hundred, if not thousand times, better than the outside. Still, it was inferior to Spirit Energy. "A good alternative for cultivating, though." Hemented casually. Hended on the beach with Toki, alerting the barrier as several killing array formations pointed at him. Toki trembled because she finally learned the dangers of these barriers after bing Spirit Master and wielding Spirit Energy. She felt goosebumps all over her body. As the killing arrays were about to fire high-concentrated energy at Huo Yuhao and Toki, a gasp echoed within the ind. "Y-Y-Yuhao-sama!" A flustered voice echoed on the ind. A silver-haired figure hurriedly exited her house in a ttering outfit and appeared out of the bushes. "Yuhao-sama, you''re finally here!" "I''ve been waiting for you. For so long, sob!" Huo Yuhao was stunned by the sight before him. A silver-haired beauty is wearing nothing but an apron, sobbing pitifully. Her aqua-blue eyes are tearing up and making her look miserable. "Don''t worry. Everything will be fine." Huo Yuhao felt bad and approached Rossweisse before hugging him tightly. "I''m here for you." "I-I..." Rossweisse blushed because she felt ttered by Huo Yuhao''s sudden hug. She wasn''t confident in her figure. She also wasn''t even close with Huo Yuhao much. In fact, Rossweisse''s first interaction with Huo Yuhao was when Odin visited him. After that, Rossweisse decided to test her luck and enter Dragon Nest with the help of Qianye Ying''er. Yes, she''s a firm believer in Yuhaonism. Of course, she wasn''t as bold as Qianye Ying''er and only dared to look up to Huo Yuhao from afar. Being hugged by Huo Yuhao is one of Rossweisse''s biggest dreams. Not far away, Toki saw this and felt slightly envious, but she understood Rossweisse must miss Huo Yuhao so much. After some time, Huo Yuhao let Rossweisse off his hug. "How long have you stayed in this timeline?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly. Rossweisse sighed, "Not long, just fifteen years." "Fifteen??" Chapter 346: Rossweisses Little Request Chapter 346: Rossweisse''s Little Request --- Chapter 343 --- "Fifteen years?" Huo Yuhao stared at Rossweisse in disbelief. He feltplicated inside because Rossweisse stayed longer than he was in the stasis timeline. He wasining about it, yet the Valkyrie endures the loneliness alone. Rossweisse nodded, "Yes, Fifteen years." "That''s how long I''ve been staying in this world." "Oh, yeah. I experimented and discovered something that might pique your interest, Yuhao-sama!" To Rossweisse, this is the happiest day of her life.After so long, she finally met with Huo Yuhao again. Huo Yuhao smiled weakly, "You have suffered, Rossweisse." "No, not at all," Rossweisse responded with a happy smile, wanting to be professional before Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao bitterly patted Rossweise''s head, telling Evo to scan her and show him her status. [Scanning...] [Name: Rossweisse] [Race: True Walkure/Half God] [Age: 33] [Concept: Goddess of Magic, False Valha, True Legion] [Martial Soul: Ancient Void-Winged Qilin(12+), Armor of Magic Army(11+)][Cultivation: Level 125/1st ss God] [Battle Prowess: 129/High 1st ss God] [Potential: SSS+] [Rmended Path: Void-lingering Queen, True Magic Wielder, Dragon Nest''s Commander, 13th Circle Magic Empress, Dragon Nest''s Strongest Valkyrie, Huo Yuhao''s concubine] [Description: A lonely woman with a little dream. Please help her relieve her loneliness~!] After skimming Rossweisse''s status page, Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but sigh even more because she was talented and lived up to her potential. What''s more impressive is that she received no teaching for fifteen years and stillprehends her unique concept and divinity. If Rossweisse faced Huang Qiu''er in a battle, she might win because of her expertise in magic. It was so versatile and dangerous for those who were weak spiritually. Rossweisse enjoyed Huo Yuhao''s pats and asked, "Yuhao-sama. Have you been trapped, too?" "Pretty much. However, I got trapped for eight years." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. "Compared to you, it was nothing." "So far, I have met with Qiu''er, Robin, and Raikou." Roissweisse''s eyes lit up, "No wonder my magic fields had been sensing a sign of spirit energy. They are intruding to the northwest of Logue Town a while ago." "Oh, you''re here." She finally noticed Toki. "..." Toki''s mouth twitched slightly. You should have noticed earlier! I''m your only friend here! Toki was depressed inside, but she could only smile, "Yes, I was the one who brought Yuhao-sama here. Oh, Yuhao-sama also epted me as his servant." Rossweisse raised her eyebrow, "Is that so?" "Mhm." Toki nodded, leaving Rossweisse to wonder briefly. A small bird suddenly appeared andnded on Rossweisse''s shoulder, pecking her cheek. Rossweisse awakened from her stupor and nced at the bird, "Yuhao-sama, pleasee into my humble abode. I was making myself lunch, so let''s eat together." "Sure." Huo Yuhao calmly agreed. They went to the ind''s core, and Huo Yuhao immediately discovered things weren''t so simple. From the outside, this ind is just an ordinary ind. However, as soon as Huo Yuhao stepped his foot on the ind''s core, everything changed. The surrounding coconut trees and bushes turned into a vast field over several thousands of kilometers with many kinds of trees. There are also mountain ranges andkes around the field, but the center of all this is a massive mansion. The mansion is a Western-style one with a brownish-dark wall and white roof. The roofs aren''t ordinary because they were ''thoroughly'' covered with sr panels. In fact, these sr panels refined natural power, such as sunlight, into electricity and magical energy. Huo Yuhao sensed the magic in the atmosphere, "You''re working hard on this ind. The magic particles alone surpassed mine when I was in the Draconic Deus." Rossweisse shook her head gently and exined, "Thanks to the Magic Refining Machine I built, I can use the energy of nature and convert it into electricity before refining it into magic energy." "I used Dragon Nest''s energy-gathering rune formations as a base and modified it." "Magic energy is a tad bit weaker than spirit energy, so my cultivation has been slower than my research in magical fields." "But don''t worry. Ipensated by experimenting with this world''s devil fruits and other materials." "This... You don''t interfere with this timeline, right?" Huo Yuhao asked worriedly. He doesn''t want Rossweisse to get implicated. Toki suddenly chimed, "She almost does, Yuhao-sama. However, I stopped her quickly." Rossweisse pouted, "It''s just a devil fruit." Toki facepalmed, "The one you''re about to take is a devil fruit that holds importance in the future." "If you take it, Luffy won''t get his powers." "..." Huo Yuhao''s face bes slightly stiff because this Valkyrie almost changes the cannon event. Thank god. Toki prevented Rossweisse from doing so because this timeline might be ruined forever alongside the future. Rossweisse pped her hand to open the mansion''s front door and said in annoyance, "Well, you heard Toki, Yuhao-sama. She has been helping me from taking ''important'' stuff from this timeline." "If I could get my hand on Luffy''s devil fruit, things would get easier, though." "Rossweisse." Huo Yuhao grasped the Valkyrie''s shoulder. Rossweisse smiled at Huo Yuhao, "Don''t worry, Yuhao-sama. I know my limit." "There is a concept of Destiny Child in every world." "And Luffy is one of them." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief, "Good. Then, do you know the Destiny Child of your world?" Rossweisse tilted her head and pondered, "With my calction, I believed it was a pervert boy called Hyoudou Issei, right? Am I wrong?" Huo Yuhao patted her, "No, you''re on point." Rossweisse invited them to the kitchen, and she brought in aically massive white te of roasted fish and many other sauces. While eating their lunch, Rossweisse exined her experience of the past fifteen years. Huo Yuhao listened to her attentively, not wanting to miss any details. She told her story calmly and didn''t hide anything from Huo Yuhao. It makes Huo Yuhao admire Rossweisse even more. Her talent as a Master Magician really bloomed in this world. Even though Huo Yuhao doesn''t know the ending of the DXD Series, he certainly knows that Rossweisse didn''te close to bing a god. "I shouldpensate you in some ways..." Huo Yuhao said while staring into Rossweisse''s aqua-blue eyes. Rossweisse giggled, "Hehe, meeting you again is the bestpensation, Yuhao-sama." "No, I insist on giving you something!" Huo Yuhao firmly dered. Rossweisse was stunned by Huo Yuhao''s bright blue eyes staring at her gently, and she could see that he was feeling guilty about their parting upon entering this world. She thought at the back of her head, ''Scathach-sama did say Yuhao-sama is quite emotional with his women. If possible, he wanted to treat them the best he could.'' ''I always thought Grayfia and Gabriel were lucky for gaining Yuhao-sama''s attention.'' ''Who would have thought Yuhao-sama would care so much about me? A random woman he barely met.'' Rosseweisse bit her lower lips. As part of Yuhaonism, Rossweisse always imagined a pair of strong arms hugging her, giving her a sense offort. Even for a second, she''d pay anything to live that moment for a second. Yet today, Huo Yuhao is giving her that exactly. "D-Date..." Rossweisse stuttered. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao was confused. Rosssweisse clenched her hand and looked at Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, please take me on a date!" She''s saying this with all her bravery. On the side, Toki covered her mouth in surprise. Is this Rosseweisse she knew? After all, Rossweisse is akin to a sage who likes to bury herself in magical research. Huo Yuhao heard Rossweisse''s request and was stunned at first. Then, he chuckled, "Very well." "Let''s go on a date." Chapter 347: Goddess of Magics Title Isnt for Nothing! Chapter 347: Goddess of Magic''s Title Isn''t for Nothing! --- Chapter 344 --- After lunch, Rossweisse brought Huo Yuhao and Toki to herboratory. Herboratory is more advanced than he expected. Also, Not even the Dragon Nest''sboratory was this big. The spotless white floor and walls. Several advanced magical runes and formations. Huo Yuhao nced at the runes and asked, "You''re not using Primordial Runes?" Rossweisse shook her head, "No." "Well, it''s more like this world doesn''t like them much.""The runes I used were self-invented with Primordial Runes as their base, which passed Tiny World''s restriction." "And you''re sessful at it." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but praise. Rossweisse covered her mouth sheepishly and responded, "I''m not that impressive. It''s just that I''ve been studying magic from a young age." Huo Yuhao smiled because Rossweisse was trying to be humble. With thisboratory alone, he could assess her knowledge about magic and other subjects higher than him. She didn''t just use different forms. She invented that different form. At first, Huo Yuhao couldn''t believe his eyes for a second. Fortunately, he had seen so many bizarre things over the past years. Well, Techno Archon''s Chat Group was ''mostly'' the source of it. Rossweisse went to the nearby wall and pressed her hand on it, causing the wall to retreat. She revealed several translucent tubes with liquid and devil fruits inside. However, these devil fruits look weird. They didn''t have the curl patterns that devil fruits should have, nor shape like an object or animal. How to out, these devil fruits look more like nk Concept Fruits. Toki was baffled, "These are... You actually developed Concept Fruits!" Rossweisse smirked and lifted her nose slightly, "Let me show you my proud creation, Archeon Fruits!" "Since the devil fruits were born based on the condensation of certain concepts, the Archeon Fruits I created were based on the Law of Universe." "I used Akashic Magical Codes, rewriting the existing concept into a higher realm." "I failed many times, but as you can see, this one is... A sess." [Name: Archeon Fruits] [Type: Ascended Concept Fruit (Artificial)] [Grade: EX] [Description: Archeon Fruits is Goddess of Magic''s finest creations. Based on devil fruits and tempered with Akashic Magical Codes, Archeon Fruits possessed elevated concepts that have reached the boundary of World Laws] [This one, in particr, possessed pure Law of Dark Crows] ''Goddess of Magic''s Title isn''t for nothing.'' Huo Yuhao thought to himself. He stared at the Archeon Fruit in Rossweisse''s hand and asked, "How many Archeon Fruits have you created so far, Rossweisse?" Rossweisse awkwardly coughed, "About that..." "Tiny World''s truly backward when ites to umting raw concepts." "Countless lives throughout generations passed away only to create God-named devil fruit." "Archeon Fruits utilized those unfortunate souls, catalyzing them into one..." "So far, I can only make thirteen Archeon Fruits." "B-But don''t worry, Yuhao-sama! These Archeon Fruits are the best ones I ever created." She patted her chest, making them jiggle. "I named them Thirteen Series of Thawne Days." Huo Yuhao gazed at the rest of the Archeon Fruits and nodded, "They are extraordinary, but I''m curious about your Akashic Magical Codes now." "Also, what do you think of this?" He brought out the Timeless Order and sent it to Rossweisse. Rossweise caught the object and frowned because she could feel a force from inside that could purify concepts in their purest form. The force can fuse concepts into one, simr to her works. "Yuhao-sama, this artifact is..." "Timeless Order. I made it." Huo Yuhao replied casually. "I''ve been purifying and fusing devil fruits with that." "For example, I got my hand on the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Golden Carp once and purified it into Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Mode: Huanglong." "Fascinating..." Rossweisse nodded in understanding. She looked at the egg-like device in her hand. Meanwhile, Toki was speechless. ''How could you guys be nonchnt about such a heaven-defying artifact??!'' If Huo Yuhao knew what Toki was thinking, he would sneer because the so-called heaven-defying artifact is merely an easy bake oven taken to the extreme. "Rossweisse, can you improve Timeless Order with Akashic Magical Codes?" Huo Yuhao asked after some thoughts. Rossweisse squinted her eyes on the Timeless Order and replied, "It is possible. The Akashic Magical Codes are actually my Divinity. It holds no true power but can allow me to tap into a higher realm of knowledge." "Using that knowledge, I created Archeon Fruits." "So, improving Timeless Order is still within the grasp of reality." "The only problem is Timeless Order itself." She lifted the device with an intrigued look. "I''m afraid this might not be able to endure Akashic Magical Codes." Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "You don''t have to worry about that, Rossweisse. If I can make a Timeless Order for the first time, I can make the second one." "Very well... I will do my best then." Rossweisse giggled joyfully. She nced at Toki and said, "Toki, have you told Yuhao-sama about your origin?" "I already did," Toki confirmed calmly. "Good, I have information about the Myriad Heaven Realm," Rossweisse stated, causing Toki and Huo Yuhao to furrow their brows. The Valkyrie raised her finger and said, "When I tapped into a higher realm of knowledge, I encountered an interesting piece of news." "Your homeworld, the Myriad Heaven Realm, is in a civil war." "What?? That''s impossible!" Toki was shocked beyond belief. She knew the Ostera Race''s royalty very well. They wouldn''t fight among themselves. If not, they wouldn''t have sent the Celestial Dragons here and killed them instead. Rossweisse gave Toki a wry look, "Do you think I''d lie about something like this?" "The Great Tan''s royalty gained support from another major realm and is currently on strike against the Great Toki and Great Kukan''s royalties." "Your disappearance went unnoticed because of this very civil war." "So, no matter how long you wait, the Great Toki''s royalty won''t help you nor enter Tiny World." "No way..." Toki has a look of despair on her face. She dropped to the ground and imagined horrible things happening in her homeworld. Even though she was only a Time Remnant a while ago, her feelings and memories are real. But who would have thought having a soul would make things worse? Despair slowly gnawed on her soul. Huo Yuhao walked to Toki and ced his hand on her shoulder, pulling her out of the darkness. "Stand up. This news isn''t the end of the world." "You can still save them." Toki''s eyes regained their lives, "I... I understood, Yuhao-sama." Rossweisse looked at this andmented, "By the way, the Great Tan will send some people to the Tiny World soon. From my reading, they seem to be looking for the Royal Blood." "Royal Blood?" Toki sighed. "They are looking for Celestial Dragons." "But why?" Huo Yuhao was confused. "Even though Celestial Dragons possessed Great Tan''s bloodline, they have lost their ancestral powers." Toki fell into deep thought before mumbling, "There is no way, right?" "Yuhao-sama, I have a bold guess." "But I don''t know how to say it." "The Great Tan''s royalty might want to awaken a dangerous beast." "This same beast is why Celestial Dragons dare to betray the Ostera Race without a second thought." She put on a solemn expression. After hearing this, Rossweisse closed her eyes and opened them a few secondster. Huo Yuhao noticed a faint divine energying from Rossweise. It seems she was using the Akashic Magical Codes. "I see..." Rossweisse murmured to herself. "Great Tan''s royalty indeed targeted the beast you said, Toki." "They wanted to release the Great Fang Matter Beast!" Chapter 348: Great Fang Matter Beast Chapter 348: Great Fang Matter Beast --- Chapter 345 --- The Great Fang Matter Beast. This dangerous beast is infamous in the Myriad Heaven Realm for being the destroyer of all things. Legend said the Great Fang Matter Beast could swallow Gods, Devils, and Buddhas. Its fang has property that could sever divinities, special powers, dharmas, and sinful forces into that of a mortal. Huo Yuhao was intrigued by this information, "And you''re telling me that the Celestial Dragons possessed an ability to control this beast?" Toki nodded weakly, "Not directly, yes. The Great Tan''s bloodline flows in the Celestial Dragon''s veins, mutated after many years, and could influence the Great Fang Matter Beast''s mind." "Great Toki and Great Kukan''s royalties thought that by casting them away from the Great Fang Matter Beast, everything would be fine...""But who would have thought the Great Tan would start a civil war." "You guys are really naive." Huo Yuhao sighed while giving Toki a pitying look. Toki could only lower her head in embarrassment. She also despised Ostera Race''s way of solving problems among the family members. So what if they had the same blood flowing in their veins? Celestial Dragons havemitted atrocity against their own families! Toki hates it. Hate it very much, but she couldn''t do anything about it. After all, Toki didn''t have the power to change this oue, and her only hope was Huo Yuhao''s kindness. Huo Yuhao doesn''t know what to say. He was lucky that an interesting opponent woulde to his front door. At the same time, he could help Toki and conquer her homeworld. Rossweisse tapped her finger on her lips andmented, "I calcted the possibility, and the Great Fang Matter Beast might appear alongside the Phantom Lord tomorrow." "When Gold D. Roger gets executed, a spiral of darkness will descend to this timeline." "Your Akashic Magical Codes sure are impressive." Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but praise. Rossweisse shook her head gently, "There are limitations on how much knowledge I could get." "I categorized them based on skies. The ninth sky is the lowest, and the first is the highest." "So far, I could only get my hand on Seventh and barely tap into Sixth skies." Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes glimmered because Rossweisse''s Akashic Magical Codes connected to the Great Omniversal Order. Knowing this surprised him more than Archeon Fruits. No wonder Rossweisse could do things beyond Douluo Dalu''s standards. Talking about Douluo Dalu''s standards, Dragon Nest has be stronger with the appearance of these new goddesses. Huo Yuaho couldn''t wait to see Tang San and his friends'' reactionster. ''Hehe, don''t me me for being ruthless, Tang San. You''ve created quite a problem on the Douluo.'' Huo Yuhao chuckled coldly. Huo Yuhao doesn''t like cleaning the mess of others, but he doesn''t have a choice in this annoying situation. But it''s alright because Huang Qiu''er and Wang Dong are still within Huo Yuhao''s grasp, which means he can exploit them as Sea God''s weakness. "Rossweisse, prepare a counter n." Huo Yuhao suddenly ordered. "Leave the Great Fang Matter Beast to me." "As for Phantom Lord, let''s see what it could do first." "Understood." Rossweisse nodded, creating a magic circle and preparing something. ... ... Not far away, Raikou and Kuina floated above the sea. The nurturer nced at the distance and mumbled, "Someone is watching us." "Hmm, who was it?" Kuina also followed Raikou''s gaze. "I couldn''t sense anything wrong." "That''s because you haven''t refined divine sense enough," Raikou said with a smile. "Don''t worry, with Raikou Mama here. You will master your divine sense and divine energy quickly!" "Come on, Kuina-chan~! Call me Raikou Mama!" "To hell with your mommy fetish!" Kuina roared and retreated a few meters away from Raikou. "Also, don''t call me Kuina-chan!" She was afraid. This woman is terrifying. Raikou giggled and created a sword with her lightning, "Well, let''s start the training, shall we?" "Bring out your sword, Kuina-chan." "The best way to train your divine sense is by fighting. Old methods like meditating are fine, but you want things to be quick, no?" "At the same time, let''s polish your divine energy." "You''re allowed to use Haki and Divine Might, but don''t get them over your heads." "Sometimes what you see can be deceiving..." Raikou winked yfully. Kuina was about to pull her katana when Raikou suddenly disappeared from her vision, making her feel a chill on her neck. She instinctively dodged, and it was a huge mistake. BAM! "Uugh!" Kuina winced in pain, seeing a fist striking her stomach. Raikou appeared before Kuina, "Don''t rely too much on what you see and hear. Feel the world like you own them." "That''s the key to control your divine sense." "After all, we are higher dimensional beings now." "Matters of the 3rd dimension stayed below us." "Damn it!" Kuina swung her katana swiftly and caused Raikou to retreat. How embarrassing. She actually got caught off guard by this woman. If Huo Yuhao is here, Kuina might get embarrassed to death. "Continue..." She closed her eyes and heard Kuina''s giggle again. "Hehe, I will make you call me Raikou Mama after this training." "Don''t worry... I will be gentle with you~!" Raikou knew when she must be hard for others. Kuina''s personality is adorable, but she must be more mature. As the Mother Nurturer, Raikou wanted to see Kuina be the best version of herself. She wanted Kuina to be a goddess who befitted her name and title. ''That''s why I will not hold back.'' Even though Raikou knew Kuina might hate her more, she was willing to be the baddie viiness. Of course, Raikou also knew when to be gentle. Soon, a wind and lightning shed in the area. Several storms were ''unnaturally'' created, but no one knows why except some people. Kuina gritted her teeth. She was frustrated but had to admit that Raikou was much more powerful than she expected. ''I will master my divine sense and divinities! I will make Master Yuhao proud!'' With that, Kuina pushed herself to the limit. ... ... Back to Logue Town. Huang Qiu''er and Robin walked around the city. Huang Qiu''er has a few skewers in her hands, eating while observing the tense city. The atmosphere is more gloomy than when they came here. "Robin, what do you think of this town?" Huang Qiu''er asked, chewing on her food. Robin gazed ahead andmented, "Odd? Tomorrow''s event will be world-changing, so it is understandable." "Words of that man will cause a shift in an era, after all." Huang Qiu''er nced at Robin, "I''m not talking about that. I care less about the execution." "..." Robin broke into an awkward smile. "Well..." "If you''re talking about Logue Town''s atmosphere, it''s odd, but that should be normal." "Is that so?" Huang Qiu''er smelled something, which caused her nose to twitch slightly. "I was thinking of Phantoms when walking around the city." "At first, I didn''t smell it, but now there are some faint scents." "Really? I can''t smell anything." Robin tilted her head. Huang Qiu''er nodded and replied, "My Huanglong''s powers won''t lie to me. I can detect mystical scents and aura in the air." "Not to mention, I can innately tell if there is something off about this ce''s luck." "And this town''s luck is horrendously low." "It will face a disaster sooner orter." "Disaster, huh?" Robin mumbled, staring at the tall execution tform not too far away. Chapter 349: Comforting Words Chapter 349: Comforting Words --- Chapter 346 --- Huo Yuhao finalized his n for this timeline with Rossweisse. He still had to summon thedies and share the n first. He also doesn''t mind if thedies have an opinion about the n. "Rossweisse, about the date..." Huo Yuhao nced at the silver-haired woman beside him. Rossweisse smiled and replied, "Let''s push it far back. Even though I really wanted Yuhao-sama to bring me on a date, we have important matters to tackle." She''s very understanding of their situation. Rossweisse must suppress her longings for Huo Yuhao''s attention in this peril. She can wait fifteen years, so a couple more days doesn''t make much difference.In fact, seeing Huo Yuhao in the flesh for the first time after a while is enough to satisfy Rossweisse''s loneliness. "Thanks for being so considerate." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief. Rossweisse shook her head gently and said, "Yuhao-sama. I''m probably not the only one who wants to go on a date with you. Countless women were willing to drop their skirts for you, but here you are, worrying about my insignificant feelings." "To me, this alone is more precious than anything." "It makes me feel my existence has a ce in your heart. Even if it''s just a dot in the ocean, I''m still happy." "Your feelings aren''t insignificant..." Huo Yuhao sternly reprimanded her. "You''re wise and understanding, Rossweisse. In this chaotic world. I need someone like you because I can be wrong sometimes." "Don''t look down on yourself!" "You are worth more than that!" "I..." Rossweisse felt touched. Rossweisse was Odin''s secretary, and people looked down on her because of her clumsiness. She feigned ignorance of those people. They didn''t appreciate her talents a single bit. Eventually, Rossweisse felt distant and questioned whether it was worth living in such a gray world until she met Huo Yuhao with Odin back then. He was handsome, powerful, and confident. Even in the face of Odin, he acts nonchntly. When Huo Yuhao led Dragon Nest to fight the Anti-Dragon Nest Alliance, Rossweisse could only watch from the sideline. He watched him fight two of the strongest beings in Draconic Deus, dominating them with just a clone. Rossweisse would never have thought her fate would twist and turn into this moment. Hearing Huo Yuhao utter those words makes her feel special. It was miraculous. Rossweisse felt her cheeks warming up after seeing Huo Yuhao''s stern yet handsome face and quickly lowering her head. Her maiden heart is beating like crazy. ''Aaahh, I really want to hug Yuhao-sama again. If possible, I-I want to kiss him, too. Hehe~!'' Rossweisse drowned in her imagination. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao also got drowned. He got drowned by Tian Meng''s teasing voice. ''I need someone like you, Rossweisse~!'' ''Don''t look down on yourself~!'' ''You are worth more than that~!'' ''PFFT-! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~! Yuhao, you''re corny as fuck!'' Tian Meng was dying fromughing. Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched slightly. He was saying those words tofort Rossweisse. But as you can see, ites off as corny. Of course, Rossweisse should feel much better now. Huo Yuhao patted Rossweisse''s head and nced at Toki. Not far away, Toki is cultivating on a couch with a ck spirit ring floating around her. Beside the Worldfall Monolith Time Clock''s shadow, he also sees the shadow of a snail with a golden shell. The snail looks ethereal, swaying its head left and right. Simultaneously, the sound of a flowing river appears. "Heavenly River Moment Snail?" Rossweisse recovered her calmness andmented on the side. "Yuhao-sama, you actually gave her such a precious thing." "Rune Stone can always be farmed again." Huo Yuhao waved his hand casually. After all, they have Advalon, the Self-Evolving Dungeon. With enough time, a new Heavenly River Moment Snail will respawn and give them a rare Rune Stone again. Rossweisse nodded, "True." "But you''re giving her the Heavenly River Moment Snail Rune Stone to test her, right?" "Great Toki''s royalty possessed immense talent in the time department." "Toki is one of their greatest geniuses, so herprehension shouldn''t be that low... With the Rune Stone, she might be able to learn the Law of Time and be a mighty expert." "Unfortunately, she was a Time Remnant..." Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Being a Time Remnant doesn''t mean she has no future. Will is all the matter." "If she could endure hardship, she could climb higher." Rossweisse''s eyes flickered with a strange light as she said, "Thank you for opening my eyes, Yuhao-sama." After a while, Toki opened her eyes and sighed. She has fully absorbed the spirit ring and entered the Spirit Master realm. "So, this is how cultivating as Spirit Master felt like," Toki softly said in longing. If only Toki had known such a straightforward cultivation path existed in the past, she wouldn''t have had to brute force her with Ostera Race''s cultivation method. She wasted her life and time. ''To be a god, what a dream.'' She thought bitterly. Toki nced to the left and saw Huo Yuhao, noticing him smiling at her. She hurriedly kneeled, "Thank you for this chance, Yuhao-sama." "Toki will remember this for the rest of her life!" Huo Yuhao waved his hand diminishingly, "Get up." "How do you feel?" "Great! I felt like my body was overflowing with power." "Good, I will give you more Rune Stones, but you must develop your 1st Spirit Skill first. Combine it with your past experience, and then build yourbat style around it." "I understand..." Toki nodded. She didn''t question Huo Yuhao''s order. Huo Yuhao chuckled and added, "Spirit Master''s 1st to 3rd spirit skills are Spirit Master''s most significant reliance. They consume a small amount of energy and can develop over time." "If your Spirit Skills are versatile, you can even create Self-Created Skills that are beyond ordinary Spirit Skills." "Cultivate well. Tomorrow, we will be busy." He patted Toki''s head, flowing his divine energy into her body. He strengthened her physique and foundation. After that, Huo Yuhao contacted thedies and told them the location of Rossweisse Ind. Surprisingly, the first pair to appear are Huang Qiu''er and Robin. Then, Raikou and Kuina. Huang Qiu''er and Robin look like they have been on a good trip. On the other hand, Kuina doesn''t look so good, while Raikou carries her on the back with a smug look. The milf is literally beaming. Kuina has no strength left in her body. Raikou has squeezed her stamina dry, especially because her mind is exhausted. Huo Yuhao stared at the sleeping Kuina, "You really put rounds on her, huh?" Raikou giggled, "Hehe, Kuina-chan is very stubborn. However, she quickly absorbed my teachings like a sponge." "She has mastered her divine sense. Moreover, she wouldn''t have a problem using her divine energy now." "That''s good." Huo Yuhao patted Kuina''s head. "What about you, Qiu''er, Robin?" Huang Qiu''er and Robin shared their findings with Huo Yuhao, making him frown slightly. Huo Yuhao gazed in Logue Town''s direction and used God of Fortune''s ability to read luck. As expected, the luck in the area is bing darker and worse each second. He wouldn''t call that disastrous anymore. There would be a world-ending event there. "Good job." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. "Let''s get in first. Rossweisse is waiting for us." Thedies'' eyes lit up when hearing this. They followed Huo Yuhao into the ind and saw Rossweisse waiting by the mansion''s front door. They were stunned because Rossweisse had ascended. Not to mention, she has be beautiful. "Rossweisse!" Not surprisingly, Raikou was the first to move and hug the goddess of magic. Huang Qiu''er and Robin nced at each other, smiling faintly. They also walked forward and hugged Rossweisse. Rossweisse felt their hugs and cried slightly, "You three..." "I miss you guys so much." Huo Yuhao watched this and smiled, "What a nice sight." "Next will be Liu Mei and Valerie..." Chapter 350: Bad News Chapter 350: Bad News Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night for all my dearest viewers. As you can see from the title, I was once again struck by an inconvenience, Simply put, myptop broke down on me. When I was typing new chapterst night, the LCD broke and my screen glitching like crazy, so I can''t work on anything. But don''t be afraid, I already sent myptop to service and it would take 4-5 days to fix (shipping in my area take long ass time). I will keep uploading new chapters, but not on usual scales. I''m currently typing on my ten years oldptop, which is quite janky, but hey I at least get the work done. The quality won''t be the same as usual. Thank you for reading my works and support all this time. From your not-so handsome author, peace out! - Nine_Clouds Chapter 351: Hundred, Time Variance! Chapter 351: Hundred, Time Variance! --- Chapter 347 --- After the reunion, everyone had a sumptuous dinner. Rossweisse shared her story with thedies, and they couldn''t help but gasp in surprise at her strong tenacity. Huang Qiu''er sympathized with the goddess of magic''s situation, but she couldn''t understand her crippling loneliness because she had been at Huo Yuhao''s side all this time. Meanwhile, Robin and Raikou understood Rossweisse''s feelings more. They were robbed of their precious time with Huo Yuhao by the cursed timelines they were in. Raikou is ''actually'' forced to abandon her history and walk on a new path, enduring the loneliness. Robin''s body got stolen by the Phantom Lord, forcing her to lock herself in a mental domain and suffer for years.Ultimately, they met with Huo Yuhao again. He even paid more attention to them now. Even though it was out of guilt, they are satisfied by it. At the very least, Huo Yuhao has a conscience about them. "Magic, huh?" Huang Qiu''er mumbled. "Rossweisse, how strong are youpared to the gods in the Draconic Deus? I''ve only heard of them before, so I don''t know how to gauge their strength." Rossweisse sipped her herbal tea and replied, "I''m a 1st ss God, so my strength is above them. Of course, some would give a problem, but the remaining are easy to handle." "As long as I understand their strength and weakness, I can defeat them all with my Akashic Magical Codes given enough time." Robin raised her eyebrow, "You''re stronger than me and Raikou." "Yeah," Raikou agreed with Robin as she observed Rossweisse, finding it hard to nurture the goddess of magic because she had walked her most optimal path. Even if Raikou helped Rossweisse, her growth wouldn''t increase much. Rossweisse put on a helpless expression and replied, "You can''t be too sure. The future is unknown. You might be stronger than me." "Not to mention, the path I took is considered Unorthodox. It''s not pure Spirit Master''s power system because magic is involved." "Theplexity I mustprehend is ten times higher than normal concepts andws." "Ten times..." Huang Qiu''er solemnly mumbled. "That''s tough." Huang Qiu''er has eaten the [Zoan Devil Fruit, Model: Huanglong] and has been learning to control its power and concept for over eight years. She has ascended to godhood thanks to her hard work but also suffers to wield such powers. Imagining Rossweisse must go through such a course with ten times more difficulty made Huang Qiu''er feel sorry for the goddess of magic. Rosswiesse noticed the change on the dragon goddess''s face and giggled naturally, "You don''t have to pity me." "This is the path I''ve chosen." "Even if I was stuck on my path some days, I still have Yuhao-sama to help me." She grinned when saying that. Thedies had a look of realization. They nced at each other before smiling foolishly. That''s right, they have Yuhao! So what if they had to face a storm and chaos? Everything would be fine with him around. Huo Yuhao felt such intense faith radiating from thedies and couldn''t help but chuckle in his heart. ''Their faith is too bright. It blinds me.'' He thought to himself. Deep inside, Huo Yuhao was ''deeply'' touched by their faith in him. Having such blind faith in someone means their trust exceedsmon sense, which means even if the world breaks down at this very moment, they will still believe in Huo Yuhao. ''Well, I won''t let them down.'' As they finished their dinner, Huo Yuhao approached Toki, who meditated not far away. He sensed her cultivation and noticed it had reached spirit rank 20. She also has enough physical attributes and mental power to handle another 10,000+ years of spirit rings. ''Her talent is higher than I thought.'' Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and fished a spirit rune from his inventory. It was Heavenly River Moment Snail''s rune stone, slightly older than the one he had given to Toki earlier. Heavenly River Moment Snail is a very rare spirit beast. It has two innate skills despite being a 10,000-year-old spirit beast. Two skills possessed time attributes, which could merge into a domain. "Toki, wake up and absorb this rune stone." Huo Yuhao called her name, handing the rune to her. Toki was momentarily dazed while opening her eyes and nodded dumbly at Huo Yuhao''s remarks. She grabbed the rune stone and crushed it with her fair hand, causing a ck spirit ring to erupt and resonate with her martial soul. She was very familiar with this sensation and meditated again. Slowly but surely, Toki''s cultivation realm loosened and entered the Spirit Grandmaster Realm. "Phew, I finally reached it." She opened her eyes, heaving a sigh of relief. "Haha, good." Huo Yuhao praised. "You don''t waste my resources." "Next is this." A diamond-shaped object entered Toki''s vision. "This is..." Toki couldn''t recognize the item, but she knew it was extraordinary. "Hundred!" A voice suddenly eximed. Rossweisse appeared behind Huo Yuhao and eyed the diamond-shaped object frantically. "Yuhao-sama, you have upgraded Hundred?" Huo Yuhao nodded, "Mhm. I made it when I was bored in the stasis timeline." "I''ve improved its core ability, which could provide both divine armor(suit) and divine weapons." "Wow." The otherdies'' eyes glimmered. If Kuina is awake, she''d definitely lift her nose and praise Huo Yuhao''s greatness in the field of cksmithing. "This one is nameless, so connect your mental power with it and awaken its true name." Huo Yuhao handed a Hundred to Toki. "Yuhao-sama. I''m afraid I can''t ept this." Toki looks troubled. "This artifact is too precious..." Huo Yuhao sighed and flipped his hand, causing more Hundred to appear and pile up on the floor like a small mountain. The sound of marble hitting the floor makes thedies question reality, especially Toki and Rossweisse. "..." Toki. "..." Rossweisse. "..." Robin. "Ara~!" Raikou covered her mouth in awe. Huang Qiu''er saw this and nodded, ''Master has worked hard.'' Huo Yuhao smirked at Toki, "Do you still think this thing is precious now?" He threw the Hundred to Toki and added, "If your body and mental power weren''t so weak, I''d give you a Devil Fruit that suits your talent." "Unfortunately, even if I gave you one, you can''t master its power within a night. That would be ridiculous." "So, I''m giving you the second best choice, Hundred or else known as Divine Armament." "It''s easier to master, and you can use it in tomorrow''s event." Toki''s worldview is ''literally'' refreshed again. ording to Huo Yuhao''s words andzy tone, this diamond-shaped artifact is a divine armor and divine weapon''s conjurer. However, seeing this small mountain pile, Toki wondered if Huo Yuhao saw this object as trash. Technically, yes. Huo Yuhao found Hundred wasted so much space in his vault, though it was infinite. "Okay..." Toki helplessly caught the Hundred and made a connection with it, causing the object to light up in neon green light. Even though it was faint, everyone could sense the power of time from the newly contracted Hundred. "Call your Hundred''s name." Huo Yuhao also observed Toki''s Hundred calmly. Toki nodded, "Wake up, Time Variance!" Green light enveloped the room, and everyone''s expression changed slightly. "Oh?" Rossweisse''s interest was ''instantly'' piqued. "This is interesting." "Toki, you''re lucky. You''ve awakened a Specialized Innocent-type." "It seems your role in tomorrow''s event has increased, Toki." "Don''t you think so, Yuhao-sama?" Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, "Yes." "We can execute the n perfectly tomorrow." Chapter 352: Pirate Kings Execution, The Day Everything Break Loose Chapter 352: Pirate King''s Execution, The Day Everything Break Loose --- Chapter 348 --- The next day. Everyone woke up and stood on the beach. Kuina stretched her body and mumbled, "That''s weird. It doesn''t feel as painful anymore." "Hehe. How could I hit you too hard, Kuina-chan~!" Raikou hugged Kuina from behind. "You know that I''m gentle with cute girls like you." Kuina''s mouth twitched because she didn''t believe Raikou at all. This woman is a savage!Even though Kuina had done her best yesterday, she couldn''tnd a single hit on Raikou and could only dodge miserably. If not for Kuina''s sharp talent in swordsmanship, she wouldn''t have mastered her divine sense and energy that quickly. Of course, Raikou''s Mother Nurturer also yed a role in Kuina''s rapid advancements. Kuina hated to be hugged by Raikou, but she was helpless. After all, she made a bet with this monstrous woman and lost. Huang Qiu''er, Rossweisse, and Robin smiled when they saw this because Raikou is truly the strongest in motherly quality. Although Kuina might find it annoying, she would miss it very soon. Not to mention, Riakou''s acts are pure. She has no ill intention toward anyone with a dream. As long as the children''s dream wasn''t ''inherently'' evil, she would do her best to reform them and be the ''greatest'' nurturer. "Well, don''t be too annoyed. Here is a gift from Yuhao." Raikou giggled and handed something to Kuina. "He said this was for your hard work yesterday." Kuina''s eyes lit up. She took the unique-shaped object and said, "This is a mask?" "It''s a Divine Artifact, Demon-ying Mask," Raikou exined. "Yuhao said you have been wanting this for years." Kuina stared at the white mask with flowing golden patterns simr to a demon smirk and smiled because she was young when asking for such a reward. She relentlessly pursued the way of swords, nearly forgetting her cksmith''s roots. She wanted to be the strongest swordswoman. So, she wanted a cool mask with it. There is nothing wrong with her childish desire. Kuina rubbed the mask and thought, ''Master actually didn''t forget.'' She wore the mask immediately, causing her blue hair to scatter and create a beautiful contrast with the mask''s white color. Her aura also changed into that of a demonic being with an unrivaled sharpness. Raikou instinctively released Kuina from her hug and smiled, ''That was dangerous.'' ''I know Kuina-chan ascended with her Clear Sky Fairy, but her talent in the sword is a bit too much. It wouldn''t be difficult for her to ascend to godhood again as a Sword Goddess.'' ''As expected of Yuhao''s disciple.'' Kuina familiarized herself with the mask and sighed, "This is Divine Artifact. Master really gives them like they were candy." She''s also a cksmith, so she knew how difficult it was to smith one Divine Tool or Artifact. Let''s not talk from a cksmith''s perspective because any skilled craftsman''s greatest hope was to create a masterpiece of their own. This mask is one of Huo Yuhao''s masterpieces. No, Kuina was sure that Huo Yuhao was consistent and could make Divine Tool and Artifact if he wanted to, but the problem was his motivation. Huo Yuhao hated creating ordinary divine tools or replicas. That''s why when he gave Toki a Hundred, he didn''t view them as valuable. "Is everyone ready?" A voice suddenlyes from the forest. Thedies turned around and saw Huo Yuhao in his white coat, wearing the ck mask. They felt it was a waste for him to cover his handsome face, but thought this mysterious appearance wasn''t bad either. Behind Huo Yuhao is Toki, wearing a sleek silver-green Valkyrie Armor, her transformed Hundred: Time Variance, and appearing like a brave heroine. "Wow, you look good, Toki!" Rossweisse praised Toki''s new armor, finding the Valkyrie''s aspect endearing. Toki smiled weakly, "Thank you." Honestly, Toki felt pressured to wear this armor. She had a tough time controlling it and could only use 80% of its true power, even with Huo Yuhao''s help. She felt worthless. ''I mustn''t let down Yuhao-sama. When the Phantom Lord appears, I will use my abilities the best they can!'' Toki thought solemnly. Unknown to Toki, not even a seasoned Title Douluo could exert 80% of Divine Armor within a night. Herpatibility with her Hundred is just perfect. Huo Yuhao nced at them and willed a blue portal to appear, which let out a shing silver-blue light. Thedies blinked their eyes, seeing a streamlined-shaped dragon with jet engine wings. "This is..." Rossweisse used her Akashic Magical Codes and couldn''t help but sigh in marvel. "Cyber Race, I''ve only looked at the record once, but to see it personally is different." Raikou and Robin nodded in agreement. Seeing the Blue Eyes Jet Cyber Dragon is indeed overwhelming. For example, Kuina and Toki gasped in shock. Since Huo Yuhao has never summoned any Cyber Dragon because he was afraid Tiny World couldn''t handle its presence, Kuina never knew her teacher had such a fearsome machine monster. Toki has seen her fair share of machine monsters, but this dragon broke her worldview. Huang Qiu''er didn''t show much emotion because she had witnessed Huo Yuhao beat Sea God with his Cyber Race, showing her just how fearsome the legion of Cyber Race is. Unfortunately, Huang Qiu''er has no talent in tech-rted fields. If so, she would have learned how to create a Cyber Race under Huo Yuhao. "Get on." Huo Yuhao said while jumping to the Cyber Dragon''s back. Thedies followed Huo Yuhao and sat on the seats on Cyber Dragon''s back, feelingfortable and warm in their bodies. "Rossweisse." "Everything is ready, Yuhao-sama!" Rossweisse smiled, snapping her finger and causing the ind to disappear into a speck of light. An earring appeared, attaching itself to Rossweisse''s left ear. "Let''s go." Huo Yuhao ordered the Cyber Dragon to move. Swoosh! Cyber Dragon let out a low roar, propelling itself with its jet engine wings toward Logue Town. Meanwhile, at Logue Town, the Pirate King is escorted by the executioner to the wooden tform. Many people crowded the streets, staring at the Pirate King, Gold D. Roger, withplicated looks. Among them are Gold D. Roger''s crew, who had teary eyes. ''Why captain must die?'' A red-haired young man wore his straw hat down, trying to hide his sad expression. ''He only made a deal with a Marine, and that''s it.'' ''I don''t believe they are strong enough to capture him.'' ''Not even Rocks Pirate can handle him.'' ''Why must he relent to disease? Why couldn''t he live peacefully?'' On the execution tform, Gold D. Roger stared at the gloomy dark sky and sighed. "HEY! PIRATE KING!" Someone shouted. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH YOUR TREASURE?" "IT''S SOMEWHERE ON THE GRAND LINE, ISN''T IT?" "YOU HAVE IT? DON''T YOU?" "THE GREATEST TREASURE IN THE WORLD??!" "YOUR ONE SPECIAL TREASURE..." "ONE PIECE!!!" His voice rang in the execution ground. Everyone''s breath halted as their eyes locked on Roger, waiting for his reply. Roger was stunned beforeughing, "Hehe, hehe, Hahahaha~!" "My treasure? If you want it, you can have it! Search for it! I left it all at that ce!" Roger''s voice echoed in the field. "Hurry, kill him!" The executioners drew their des and stabbed Roger''s chest. Stab! Roger closed his eyes, feeling his life shed for thest time. Soon, cheers erupted. The execution ground mored in the prospect of getting Roger''s treasure, not knowing the truth. Yes, the new era has begun at this very moment. The Great Era of Pirate! Kacha! All of a sudden, the sound of ss breaking appears. Everyone looked up, seeing a massive crack in the sky. What happened? They thought they were dreaming. "Toki, Sister Meng." Not far away, Huo Yuhao gazed at the massive crack calmly. "Yes." Toki and Tian Meng walked off of the Cyber Dragon. They hovered above Logue Town. "Senior, please take care of me well." Toki bowed toward Tian Meng. Tian Meng chuckled, "Don''t worry. Since Yuhao left you to me, he doesn''t want you to get hurt." "Anyway, let''s do that." Toki nodded and held Tian Meng''s hand, focusing on her Martial Soul, Spirit Skills, and Hundred. Tian Meng slowly supported Toki''s energy consumption and added her to controlling time-rted abilities. "Phew..." Toki breathed out. She opened her eyes, revealing a pair of brilliant emerald-like eyes. "Domain Expansion...." "Worldfall Frozen Moment!" Ding! The ground sounds wave like a ringing bell came from Toki''s body, seemingly freezing time in Logue Town.No, it''s more like this moment was frozen instantly. Chapter 353: Great Tan Royalty, Saint Juke Chapter 353: Great Tan Royalty, Saint Juke --- Chapter 349 --- Before this, Huo Yuhao instructed Tian Meng to support Toki and protect her from danger. They couldn''t afford to lose Toki because her presence means a lot. With Tian Meng''s divine energy, she should be able to enhance and support Toki''s time-freezing domain for a full day. "Rossweisse, how is the situation?" Huo Yuhao nced at the goddess of magic. Rossweissse''s eyes gained several magic circles as she scanned the crack in the sky. She cleared her throat and answered, "Yuhao-sama, the space-time barrier above Loguetown has been breached. ording to my calction, our enemy will appear in a few minutes." "That being said... I can''t gauge their strength at all.""I guess they could be a Saint-level Existence from Toki''s world." "They are technically equal to our 3rd ss God and 2nd ss God Realm, but what makes them dangerous is their Divine Might, so be careful." "Divine Might." Huo Yuhao mumbled with a nod. Different people have different Divine Might. It could affect reality and even thew of the universe. However, Huo Yuhao wasn''t afraid. Divine Might would not affect him because he was above Myriad Heaven Realm''s level. The same goes for thedies who had be goddesses in their own unique way. Huo Yuhao had a slight feeling that the Great Fang Matter Beast might appear in this event. Kuina wore her Demon-ying Mask and asked, "Master, what should we do with the people below?" "Even though the time is frozen, they could still get killed." "About that... You don''t have to worry. Toki is keeping them alive." Huo Yuhao replied with a smile. "Pardon?" Kuina''s eyes widened behind her mask. Rossweisse nced at Kuina and exined it to her, "Kuina. Was it?" "I''m sure you already know about me, including my name. I will cut the chase." "Since you''re falling asleep early, you don''t see Toki''s awakening her Hundred. Her Hundred: Time Variance is special." "It''s a Specialized Innocent Type that focuses on freezing a moment." "Not time, but a moment." "It means that as long as she kept her ability active, she could freeze that moment and make it indestructible." "Her role is crucial in this n." "There is a such thing?" Kuina was shocked. Toki''s ability is a bit broken. Seeing Kuina''s expression, Huo Yuhao and others chuckled. Rossweisse shook her head gently and added, "Toki''s ability is overpowered, yes." "However, she also consumed a lot of energy and focus." "Senior Tian Meng will protect Toki at a close distance, and our job is to prevent the enemies from getting close to her." "And leave the Phantom Lord to Yuhao-sama." "I see..." Kuina looked at Hua Yuhao, seeing him nod. She summoned her weapons, cing them on their holders near her left hip. "I will do my best then." Huang Qiu''er also summoned her golden dragon spear. "We will do our best, Kuina." "Get that right." "Hehe." Robin giggled, calling her second self. "Kuina-chan is so adorable." Raikou grabbed a bow and arrow that Huo Yuhao gifted to her. Kuina flushed behind her mask because they were teasing her. She harrumphed and vowed to show them the result of her hard work yesterday. "They are here." Huo Yuhao suddenly said. "Hmm, they are faster than Rossweisse said." Kacha! The sky cracked even more and exploded, causing several ss-like space-time barriers to fall off. The dark void was ''naturally'' revealed, exuding an ominous aura. Dark aura seeped into the Tiny World, causing the dark thunderclouds in the area to darken even more. However, this was a different kind of dark. It was cold and ghastly, brimming with evil. Not to mention, there is no sign of lightning in the thunderclouds anymore. SKREEEEEEEEK! Heart-stirring screaming out. BOOM! The sky copsed over, widening the void entrance by one-kilometer square. The size alone could swallow Loguetown whole. Huo Yuhao was about to stretch his finger when a small figure amidst the darkness appeared. "Oh?" The figure is wrapped in a dark robe and has white hair. It was a tall yet burly man with Ostera Race''s characteristics, such as not proportional body to head size. Not far away, Toki''s expression changed drastically. Her face visibly darkened by this man''s appearance. Tian Meng noticed this and asked, "Do you know him?" Toki nodded before answering, "Great Tan Royalty..." "Saint Juke." "Saint Juke?" Not only Tian Meng, Huo Yuhao, and others also overheard Toki. Toki nodded, "Yes. Saint Juke is one of ten Great Tan Royalties who served under the Great Tan King." "If Ostera Race''s expertsbined, he''s within the top ten." "That''s because he wielded a fearsome Divine Might." "Saint Juke''s Divine Might allowed him to multiply his attacks with willpower, which blurred his enemy''s sense of reality." "I didn''t think the Great Tan Royalty who''d get sent here would be him." "This is dangerous." Huo Yuhao listened to Toki silently andmented, "It''s not only him, Toki." "I also sensed fifteen slightly weaker presences behind him." "Fifteen..." Toki pondered solemnly. "Those presences might be the Tan Dukes." "They are Half-Saint Experts. Their Divine Mights are not inferior to Saint Juke." "Everyone, be careful." As Toki finished her words, fifteen armored knights descended from the sky and stopped near Saint Juke. Saint Juke scanned the Loguetown with a weird expression. "Is this the ce?" "That''s weird. Even though we are in the Tiny World, I felt the flow of time here isn''t correct." "Hmm?" Saint Juke blinked and looked far ahead, seeing a familiar green head. "Isn''t that? How did the Great Toki Princess appear here? Wait, no wonder we couldn''t find her outside." "So, she''s here all along." "This time freeze must be her doing." He smiled, "Good. I only need to capture Toki and eat her soul to know why this Tiny World''s flow of time is weird." "Dukes, surround Princess Toki." "Yes, Saint!" The fifteen armored knights moved beyond the speed of sound and surrounded Toki but met with resistance. BANG! Several paper figurines appeared and stopped the armored knights from advancing. Although the paper figurines weren''t powerful, they were durable and annoying enough to handle them. Robin stretched her hand, "Yuhao-sama, their strength is around 3rd ss God Realm." "I can handle them alone." "No, split them. Even though your dimensionality is higher, it doesn''t always trante to being a winner." Huo Yuhao replied sternly. Robin smiled, "Understood." She nced at Huang Qiu''er and others, "Ladies, how should we split them?" "Three each?" Kuina coldly replied, eager to draw her de. "That''s fair." Thedies nodded and shed in different directions. Swoosh! With that, the Tan Dukes got separated and faced with the goddesses. Huo Yuhao stayed in the spot and met his gaze with Saint Juke''s. Saint Juke frowned because he couldn''t sense anything special from Huo Yuhao. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao doesn''t seem affected by his Divine Might. He snorted and began unleashing even stronger Divine Might, "How dare you stare at me with those insolent eyes. Kneel!" BOOM! A fierce brown aura exploded from Saint Juke, trying to pressure Huo Yuhao''s body into kneeling. Huo Yuhao was indifferent to the pressure and even yawned like nothing happened. Yawn~! "Are you done?" Huo Yuhao asked while stretching his bodyzily. "What?" Saint Juke was shocked. How did this person not get affected by his Divine Might? Huo Yuhao smirked behind his ck mask, "What about you kneeling for me?" Then, he revealed a bit of his Divine Might. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Saint Juke suddenly felt his body anchored to the ground. He crashed to the bottom of the sea near Loguetown as they parted away and revealed his unsightly state. Blooding from all Saint Juke''s orifices. He also coughed a mouthful of blood and looked terrified by Huo Yuhao''s aura. ''T-True Divine Might.'' He looks like he has seen a ghost. Chapter 354: Forbidden Beasts Descent Chapter 354: Forbidden Beast''s Descent (A/N: CHECK OUT NEW FANFIC OF MINE!) (New Fanfic: "Limitless Path: Tenma Ascension!") If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check thetest chapters there. --- Chapter 350 --- Everyone stopped. They stared at the sted sea with surprised or horrified looks. Toki covered her mouth in awe and thought, ''What was that scary Divine Might? I know Yuhao-sama also possesses Divine Might, but it was much stronger than Saint Juke, who was native and an expert of the Ostera Race!'' ''This is... Unbelievable.''Tian Meng crossed her arms andmented casually, "As expected of Huo Yuhao." "He''s ying soft." "Yuhao-sama didn''t go all out?" Toki asked Tian Meng in confusion. Tian Meng tilted her head and answered with questions instead, "What do you mean by going all out? Don''t you understand how Spirit Master cultivates?" "Gods in the Douluo Dalu World are different than ordinary gods." "We didn''t just ascend to a higher realm, but also a higher dimension." "The higher your realm, the higher your dimension is." "From 3rd to 1st ss God, you''re 4th Dimensional Existence through and through." "Huo Yuhao is technically a God-King and more, so if he goes all out, this ce will get blown to smithereens..." "Aih,ss, you''re underestimating Yuhao too much." "..." Toki broke into cold sweats. She only saw the wonder side of the Spirit Master''s power system and didn''t see through its fundamentality when bing one. Now that she thinks about it, Ostera Race''s way of immortality is inferior to the Spirit Master''s power system by ten steps. Their only best shot is their Divine Might and some other secret techniques. Tian Meng watched Toki''s face bing pale and sighed, "You''re too naive. If my guess is correct, your homeworld is only considered high-dimensional because of the Three Great Kings, right?" "Those Three Great Kings are pirs of your world." "They might be 2nd or 1st ss God Experts if we used Douluo Dalu World''s standard, but they are nowhere close to the real 1st ss God Experts, especially those who one leg into Half-Step Godking Realm." "Let''s not mention the Godking because it would be unfair." "Oh, yeah. We also couldn''tpare Yuhao to Godkings because he was an anomaly. An only freak of nature." "There would be no second Yuhao in our world." She sighed because she had been watching Huo Yuhao grow all this time. Well, not from the beginning, but long enough to know the blue-haired fellow is a monster. Heck! Beforeing to the Tiny World, that fellow yed around with Godking''s divine will and destroyed it with utter humiliation. Tian Meng stared at Huo Yuhao and the goddesses, "Even though thosedies weren''t on Yuhao''s level, they are also abnormal from Douluo Dalu''s standard." "After all, they areing from another world like you." "Well, except Qiu''er. She''s still special, though." "I see..." Toki mumbled dumbly. Doesn''t that mean she could be more powerful than her father, the Great Toki King? Meanwhile, the others also saw Huo Yuhao making Saint Juke kneeling on the ocean floor. The Tan Dukes were shocked, but thedies weren''t. "How dare you look away in a battle..." Kuina''s eyes shed with intense demonic killing intent. "Die!" Huang Qiu''er stabbed her golden dragon spear into one of her enemies'' chests, blowing a hole in that area. Robin crushed her opponent with origami papers, using the weight of their memories. As for Raikou, she just turned the duke before her into a porcupine. Back to Huo Yuhao, he looked down on Saint Juke and said, "Well, that was disappointing. I was expecting more from the so-called Saint-level Expert that Toki said..." "She''s hyping you up only for you to be a disappointment." Saint Juke gritted his teeth. Every cell in his body screaming in pain and horror because of this blue-haired masked man. Of course, most of the shockes from the fact Huo Yuhao could use True Divine Might. True Divine Might is the higher stage of Divine Might, which could allow one to wield the force of the universe. In fact, only the Three Great Kings could possess such a power. Saint Juke has tasted True Divine Might a few times when Great Tan King used his overwhelming power, but it feelspletely different when Huo Yuhao uses it. It was much, much more powerful! God. Saint Juke wished he was dreaming, but this wasn''t a dream. It''s a nightmare. An outsider actually had the power of the Great King. "W-Who are you?" Saint Juke asked with difficulty. Huo Yuhao smiled behind his mask, "Take a guess?" "Hehe, I''m not dumb enough to share my identity with others." "Anyway, if you have trump cards, you might want to use them now because I might kill you identally." Saint Juke trembled for a moment before calming himself. He moved his finger and caused the air around him to twist, breaking like an airwave. His inner energy jumped and exploded, creating a shell around him. This shell protected him from Huo Yuhao''s Divine Might, or so he thought. Saint Juke wiped the corner of his mouth, still feeling the sweetness of his own blood. He looked up and punched, "Meteor Impact!" Red heat burst from Saint Juke''s fist, which multiplied like a supernova toward Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao raised his brow, ''Is this his multiplying Divine Might?'' ''He actually stacks his attack by 10,000 times with no bacsh. Now that is more interesting.'' The massive red fist appeared before Huo Yuhao like a speeding rocket and was about to hit him. Huo Yuhao stretched his hand, condensing Divine Might on the tip of his finger. BAM! The massive red fist burst into scattered energy. Swoosh! Huo Yuhao looked to the left and saw Saint Juke wanting to punch him again. ''Oh, this time, he multiplied his speed.'' "zing Meteor Fist!" Saint Juke roared and punched with nearly all his might, multiplying the attack differently this time. The dark sky suddenly filled with countless red fists, falling to hit Huo Yuhao. ''He increased the amount of his attack.'' Huo Yuhao thought while dodging without thinking. Not a single fist even touched him. Saint Juke''s eyes widened, ''This person is indeed a monster.'' ''I can''t win with this method.'' ''I can only use that thing!'' After making up his mind, Saint Juke nced at the massive portal above and used his Divine Might. SKRRIIEEEEEK! The blood-curdling scream appeared again. Huo Yuhao frowned and stared at the portal, "Are you bringing that thing to the Tiny World?" "I thought you guys need a Celestial Dragon''s bloodline for that." Saint Juke was surprised, "It seems Toki has told you about the Great Fang Matter Beast." "However, it seems she didn''t tell you much." "Who said controlling the Great Fang Matter Beast needs the Celestial Dragon''s bloodline?" "The Great Tan Royalty had been able to control this beast from the beginning. The Celestial Dragons are ck sheep we used to mislead Great Toki and Great Kukan. Those fools." "Then, again. The im that the Celestial Dragon''s bloodline could control the Great Fang Matter Beast wasn''t wrong either." "It''s just that they also could strengthen the beast by a leap!" "Haha!" An enormous bat-like head with massive sabertooth-like fangs pokes out of the portal. It descended and revealed its dark purple serpentine body waving in the air. It also has sharp centipede legs that are stacked into massive wings. SKREEEEEEKK! The beast is over two hundred miles away, which gave Huo Yuhao a weird feeling. Huo Yuhao also felt his bloodline boil. He wanted to put this pretentious little snake in its ce. Still, Huo Yuhao held back because he wanted Saint Juke to dig hisown fucking grave. [Ding!

The Forbidden Beast has descended to the Tiny World] [Ding! You have triggered a quest] [Name: Oceana''s 1st Request] [Objective: Protect the ''Sacred Timeline'' from invaders and eliminate them all][Time Limit: 1 hour] [Penalty: Sacred Timeline ruined, Tiny World''s destruction] [Reward: 10x ck Gold Upgrading Ticket, 2x Tiny World''s essence] [Would you ept the quest?] [Yes/No] Huo Yuhao nced at the quest panel and smiled faintly, "Took you long enough, Oceana. I thought you wouldn''t wake up at all." "I''ve been waiting for a bit too long." An illusory droplet of water appeared beside Huo Yuhao. It swirled and formed a chibi version of Oceana, the spirit of Tiny World. "Sorry for the dy, Yuhao-sama," said Oceana softly. "My core needs to recover for years after our first meeting." "Is that an excuse?" Huo Yuhaomented casually. Hearing this, Oceana paled. She knew Huo Yuhao had stayed in the Tiny World for too long, resolving one problem after another caused by the Phantoms. In fact, Oceana could help Huo Yuhao out from the Stasis Timeline but decided not to because she thought of a better picture. She could only store more energy bitterly for future uses. Even then, those brilliant blue eyes seemed able to see through Oceana and made her nervous. Eventually, Oceana gave up and sighed, "Yes, it was an excuse." "Sorry for my impudence, Yuhao-sama." "Mhm, I forgot this offense once." Huo Yuhao replied. At the same time, he also epted the quest. Oceana sighed in relief. After that, the spirit looked at the forbidden beast above and frowned deeply, "Yuhao-sama, that forbidden beast can tear through everything." "Even my world''s membrane was torn apart by it earlier." "Given enough time, I''m afraid it might destroy the Sacred Timeline." "Please kill it as soon as possible." "You don''t have to hurry." Huo Yuhao stared at the enormous beast falling from the void and entering the atmosphere. [Name: Great Fang Matter Beast (Juvenile)] [Type: Forbidden Beast (Great Fang''s lineage)] [Cultivation Base: Approximately 3rd ss God] [Power Level: Approximately 2nd ss God] [Description: The Descendant of Great Fang, Great Fang Matter Beast was born with a diluted bloodline of Forbidden Beast. Its most dangerous trait is a pair of fangs that could tear nearly everything apart] [Note: The young Great Fang Matter Beast hasn''t awakened its Forbidden Beast''s bloodline. However, from its appearance, it was a few years short of awakening it] "A few years short, huh?" Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. "It seems they nned to let the Great Fang Matter Beaste here to awaken its bloodline using the Celestial Dragon''s bloodline." "After that, this fellow might touch the power of 1st ss God..." "Interesting creature indeed." "No wonder you panicked and even revealed yourself, Oceana." Oceana''s face flushed in redness. She was embarrassed because she had no real power to fight a creature like this. She could resist other invaders from Myriad Heaven Realm, but not this. She could only offend Huo Yuhao to fight it for her. Even then, she must pay a heavy price. Thankfully, Huo Yuhao is an understanding person. Saint Juke used his Divine Might to heal from his heavy injuries, increasing his healing by multiplying its effect. He groaned andughed at the same time. "Haha, have you witnessed the greatness of the Great Fang Matter Beast?" "I don''t know who you are, but..." "Soon, you will die before its fangs!" Huo Yuhao dug his earszily and replied, "You wanted to scare me with this little fellow? You''re simply dreaming." Saint Juke harrumphed, flicking his sleeve, "Have a taste of despair then..." "Great Fang Matter Beast, swallow him!" Shriek! The bat-headed monster waved its centipede legs-wings and rushed toward Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao-sama!" Oceana panicked, afraid the forbidden beast could harm Huo Yuhao. Not far away, the Toki also watched this scene anxiously. "Stop worrying about Yuhao. He''ll be fine." Tian Meng yawned. "In fact, I am more worried about that little beast. It would get beaten to a pulp soon." "Wait, and open your wide..." Tian Meng smiled smugly. ''Aih, that poor little fe.'' Huo Yuhao stared at the iing open-mawed beast and swiped his index finger casually to the left, causing the surrounding space to twist and turn. BOOOM! The Great Fang Matter Beast crashed into the ocean, causing a massive pir of seawater to rise instantly. It caused ripples over several hundred kilometers. "What??!" Saint Juke was shocked. ''H-How did the Great Fang Matter Beast suddenly appear above the sea?'' ''It was about to eat that blue-haired devil a moment ago!'' Huo Yuhao indifferentlynced at the drowning beast and returned his gaze to Saint Juke mockingly, "You and what beast?" "The one that drowned over there?" Saint Juke''splexion changed because he didn''t know what trick Huo Yuhao used to twist and turn space-time. That wasn''t Divine Might, so he could only think of concepts. Such concepts are terrifying. ''I have no choice...'' Saint Juke thought while controlling the Great Fang Matter beast with his secret technique. SHRIEK!! The Great Fang Matter Beast swam up and twisted its serpentine body in the air, approaching the Great Tan Dukes. The first group it reached was none other than Kuina''s group. Kuina frowned and readied her weapon, but the Great Fang Matter Beast bizarrely moved past her. "Huh?" She was confused. "ARGH!" "Saint Juke!" "Y-You, what have you done!" Kuina turned around and saw her enemies getting swallowed by the Great Fang Matter Beast, causing its body to bloat with hideous crimson-purple light. Her eyes widened a little because the Great Fang Matter Beast''s strength increased by a leap. She could feel it. "This guy... He sacrificed his own men." Still, Kuina was more shocked by Saint Juke''s action. Seeing such a gruesome final moment of those dukes made her body and heart chill. "Continue." Saint Juke heartlessly ordered. The remaining Great Tan Dukes paled. They would never have imagined that Saint Juke would sacrifice them like this. They areing here to feed Celestial Dragons into the Great Fang Matter Beast and let it mature, allowing them to dominate Great Toki and Great Kukan. After all, Celestial Dragon''s bloodline has evolved to suit Forbidden Beast''s bloodline awakening. It was their great n over several hundred years! Yet the Saint Juke was cornered this badly, forcing him to sacrifice them like a bunch ofmbs to a hungry wolf. Bitterness. Anger. And many other emotions swelled in the Great Tan Dukes'' hearts. They cursed Saint Juke angrily. It''s simply Despicable! Shriek! The Great Fang Matter Beast approached Raikou''s group and slithered toward the dukes. Raikou dodged before the Great Fang Matter Beast''s sharp centipede leg-wings could touch her. She could only frown at this situation. The beast was too fast. "Kill the dukes!" Rossweisse suddenly shouted. "Don''t let the beast eat them!" The remaining nine dukes were grim. Huang Qiu''er, Robin, and Rossweisse unleashed their might and attacked them to prevent the Great Fang Matter Beast from getting more powerful. "Yellow Dragon Drive." Huang Qiu''er turned into a massive yellow dragon and swiftly dragged her enemies far away, turning them into yellow particles. BOOM! Saint Juke''s eyes twitched, ''That woman is also strong. I cannot let them kill more dukes.'' Robin opened her fingers and swallowed the dukes before her into a storm of papers. "Origami Heart Murder." She clenched her right hand, causing the storm to condense and turn into a ball of red paper. Rossweisse''s situation was far worse. She watched the Great Fang Matter Beast causing a sonic boom, opening its maw to devour the dukes near her. She calmly breathed in and cast her power, "Akashic Magical Codes, Forbidden Spell: Death Needles." Two of the dukes got killed by the Death Needles, which were ck needles covered with deadly auras. Unfortunately, thest one still gets swallowed by the Great Fang Matter Beast. "AAAAAARRGGHHH!" Thest duke screamed in agony. "Tsk." Rossweisse unhappily grumbled. BOOOOOOOOM!! The Great Fang Matter Beast unleashed a terrifying aura, turning the atmosphere into an ominous crimson purple. "YES, HAHAHA~!" Saint Jukeughed happily. Huo Yuhao watched this unfazed. Even though thedies'' attempt to stop the Great Fang Matter Beast wasmendable, the truth is that the beast only needed seven sacrifices. After all, Great Tan Dukes'' bloodlines are pure and filled with energy worth several hundred years of cultivation. They are far more suitable tonic than Celestial Dragons. But they choose thetter to sacrifice because they don''t want to die. "The irony." Huo Yuhao shook his head indifferently. Chapter 356: Heavenly Dragon Awakening, Rose Dragon Princess... Chapter 356: Heavenly Dragon Awakening, Rose Dragon Princess... (A/N: CHECK OUT NEW FANFIC OF MINE!) (New Fanfic: "Limitless Path: Tenma Ascension!") If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check thetest chapters there. --- Chapter 352 --- SHRIEK! The bloodline of the forbidden beast is tyrannical. After swallowing seven Great Tan Dukes, the energy given off by the Great Fang Matter Beast caused the surrounding air to crack like a bunch of cracks. Its body bes much more powerful, making one dread just by being close to it. Those beastly eyes also transformed, bing slightly intelligent and more evil with those dark-red tail lights. However, the most noticeable change is none other than its fangs. Those fangs be even ''bigger'' and sharper. They shone with a metallic ck sheen."Oh?" Rossweisse saw this change close by. Her eyes widened when the forbidden beast''s bloodline awakened as she witnessed something unbelievable. Deep inside the Great Fang Matter Beast is a sea of blood, and at the very center of it is a revolving crimson-purple gem like Spirit Master''s soul core or blood core. The difference is this core is extremely demonic, having a ''strong'' trait that despises naturalw and order. This demonic energy is constantly pumped in and out of the Great Fang Matter Beast''s body, coating it with dangerous offensive and defensive capability. Just by existing alone, the Great Fang Matter Beast''s strength increased by a leap. ''No, there can''t be such a perfect creature. There must be a weakness or w about this beast.'' Rossweisse pondered deeply. Suddenly, a swift hand pulled Rossweisse away. The spot she floated on earlier exploded with the Great Fang Matter Beast''s aura. BOOM! "What?" Rossweisse was surprised. She turned around and saw Huang Qiu''er in her hybrid form pulling her away from the Great Fang Matter Beast. "Why did you pull me, Qiu''er?" Huang Qiu''er stared at the beast and replied, "I don''t think you can sense it, but that beast''s aura could affect you negatively." "Maybe because you don''t eat Devil Fruit, you didn''t notice it." "Affect me negatively..." Rossweisse frowned, using her Akashic Magical Codes again. "I see, thank you, Qiu''er." "You''re right. The aura is quite nasty." "It weakens the concepts you use and renders them useless after a certain period." "Of course. Our divinities stayed the same, but we can''t use them freely in the Tiny World, or we would get restricted." "This is tricky..." She tapped her chin lightly with her fingers. "Indeed, it''s a tricky situation." Huang Qiu''er agreed with Rossweisse''sst statement. Raikou, Robin, and Kuinae to their sides. "How was it, Rossweisse?" asked Kuina. Even though she was observant, she couldn''t defeat the goddess of magic in that field. Rossweisse nced at them and shared her discovery, causing thedies to frown slightly, especially Kuina. Unlike them, Kuina has only ascended recently, and her Divinity hasn''t fully matured enough to endure the Great Fang Matter Beast. She could resist but doubted her attack would work on this enemy. And the others weren''t any better. "This... What should we do then?" Robin was at a loss. "Not even space-time powers could shackle this beast." "It seems only Yuhao-sama could take on this beast." "I could have used my Heroic Spirit''s powers." Raikou followed with a bitter expression. "Unfortunately, I have lost too many mysteries and legends that my power won''t be effective on this type of creature anymore." "What about soul attack? Will it be effective against this beast?" said Kuina, who had been very quiet. "Wait, does this beast even have a soul?" "Yes, it has a soul," Rossweisse answered because she had used her powers to read the forbidden beast''s catalogs. However, the forbidden beast''s soul is ''extremely'' strong and protected by several spiritual barriers. Before they can touch the soul, they must break those spiritual barriers first. Thedies learned this information and frowned even more. Their faces darkened because this beast was annoying. "What about attacking the controller?" Huang Qiu''er eyed Saint Juke as if he were mere prey. She liked to be straightforward. Everyone nced at Saint Juke, who looked excited after seeing the Great Fang Matter Beast sessfully awaken its bloodline. Raikou squinted her eyes and sighed, "It''s useless. Even though our raw strength is higher, this man''s divine might was too strong, and our moves are like easy-to-read chess pieces in his vision." Hearing this, Kuina realized how pitiful her divine might was. She barely scratched the surface of her divine might where people like Saint Juke could turn the world''s order upside down with theirs. "Dodge!" Huang Qiu''er suddenly shouted. They hurriedly moved and appeared several kilometers away. "This is..." They looked at the Great Fang Matter Beast, seeing it raze the area into and of death. The sky turned darker, and the ocean literally evaporated into a destion. Just remaining energy alone enough to make them grimace. That aura contained 2nd ss God''s presence. If they calcted correctly, the Great Fang Matter Beast''s offensive ability has touched the realm of 1st ss God. The difference in their dimensions has gotten even out. ''Calm your heart. Leave the little beast to me.'' Huo Yuhao''s voice echoed in their heads. Thedies moved their gazes to Huo Yuhao and saw his gentle smile like a summer breeze. Their hearts rapidly calmed down, allowing them to think more rationally. Huo Yuhao watched this amusingly, ''You don''t have to worry about the little beast. Instead, I need you to watch out for the Phantoms and Phantom Lords.'' ''They must be watching us fight from the shadows.'' ''Got it?'' ''Got it!'' Thedies nodded simultaneously. They quickly saw the better picture and focused on Phantom as Huo Yuhao ordered. Given their strength, Phantoms and Phantom Lords wouldn''t give them much trouble like the Great Fang Matter Beast. With that, the goddesses separated themselves from the forbidden beast''s range. Saint Juke noticed their sudden movement and frowned, ''The future changed again.'' ''Why is it so hard to predict their movement?'' ''Is there something wrong with my divine might?" "Whatever." Saint Juke mumbled before moving his gaze to Huo Yuhao again. "Great Fang Matter Beast, Go!" Shriek! The young forbidden beast rushed toward Huo Yuhao again. This time, it moved with even ''greater'' momentum. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Several sonic booms appeared every time the beast shook its body like a snake, shaking the atmosphere. "Uh, oh... Yuhao-sama." Oceana grabbed Huo Yuhao''s sleeve with a nervous expression. Huo Yuhao calmly stared at the iing beast and heard a youthful voice in his head. "Woah, Papa is ying around~!" "Helena wants to y too~!" A burst of rose light appeared from Huo Yuhao''s body, blinding everyone in the area. Saint Juke covered his face because the light was too intense. Even his divine might was ''actually'' weakened by it. "What was that?" Saint Juke has never experienced something like this. ROAR! A majestic yet youthful dragon roar echoed in the Tiny World. The dark clouds parted and revealed a pir of rose light, seemingly expanding as time came. BOOOM! The Great Fang Matter Beast''s aura couldn''t resist the rose light and crashed heavily. It shrieked in pain and flew backward several kilometers. Everyone was dumbfounded. Huo Yuhao put on a wry smile, "It seems you also awakened from your nap." "Hehehe, the most adorable dragon princess in the universe made her appearance~!" A pink-haired young girl around ten or twelve years old appeared. She wore a dark pink dress with an open back, which revealed two pairs of bat-like dragon wings. She has royal blue eyes like Huo Yuhao, curved dragon horns, and one fang poked out from her upper lips, making her look adorable. SHRIEK! The Great Fang Matter Beast was angry. It red at Helena with an evil gaze and amassed energy in its mouth before firing a concentrated dark purple ray at Helena. "Oh? You snake dare to sully my debut!" "I, Helena the Cutest, dered today will be your funeral!" An overwhelming aura exploded from Helena''s young vessel, forming an image of a massive humanoid-shaped rose-scaled dragon. It has two pairs of wings like Helena, but its aura is more beastly. "Absolute PUNCH!" She rotated her little arm yfully and punched the iing dark purple ray clumsily. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! A mighty heavenly dragon''s aura burst out, sending the ray to the higher sky. At the same time, the dark clouds parted into two due to the sheer strength of Helena''s punch. "..." Everyone. "Well..." Huo Yuhao doesn''t know what to say. "Oops, I identally blew the attack away." Helena cupped her hand on her eyes like a telescope, seeing the ray explode hundreds of miles away. "Teehe~!" She facepalmed and stuck her tongue out yfully. [Name: Helena] [Species: Heavenly Dragon/Living Spirit] [Title: Rose Dragon Princess of Absolution!] Chapter 357: Heavenly Absolution, Saint Jukes Demise, and the Real Invasion Chapter 357: Heavenly Absolution, Saint Juke''s Demise, and the Real Invasion (A/N: CHECK OUT NEW FANFIC OF MINE!) (New Fanfic: "Limitless Path: Tenma Ascension!") If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check thetest chapters there. --- Chapter 353 --- Everyone was shocked. Watching Helena deflect the forbidden beast''s attack like it was nothing was an eye-opener for them. The girl''s small stature makes it impossible for them not to question whether she is normal. Well, it was a stupid thought. After all, Hna wasn''t normal. She was a Living Dragon Spirit born from two ''strong'' pieces of Heavenly Dragon (Ddraig & Albion) spirits, making her a Heavenly Dragon on her own.On top of that, Helena also got the best nourishment to grow stronger by bing Huo Yuhao''s contracted soul. Her strength has long surpassed her Heavenly Dragon predecessors, ditching them in the dust. In fact, no one knows how powerful Hna is. They could only make a rough estimation by calcting her sheer aura. "This little girl has be terrifying as time passes." Tian Meng''s mouth twitched. Among Huo Yuhao''s contracted souls, the concept of the ''strongest'' spirit exists. Even though Tian Meng wasn''t part of the Divine Throne of Beginning and End, she still knew thepetition among the spirits was tight. The highest spirit belonged to the Primordial Ink Demon, Titania, which Tian Meng and others hadn''t seen before. However, they knew someone who could control a universe wasn''t a ''simple'' character. After that, the second is evidently Eluxia, the Necromancer Goddess of Light. And the third is none other than this little dragon girl, Hna. Bing Di and Anatasia might be older than Hna, but even they didn''t want to fight this little dragon girl. Her power is literally unfair, especially for those with a higher cultivation base. Not to mention, Helena is very devilish and cunning. She inherited Huo Yuhao and Eluxia''s best traits, creating a headache among the contracted souls. Calling her a genius wasn''t far-fetched. However, this also makes Helena bully others easily. She only listens to Huo Yuhao and Eluxia. Today, the terrifying little monster finallyes out of her den. The Great Fang Matter Beast''s aura exploded once more in anger. After seeing its death ray blown away by this young dragon, it felt surprised but also angered. Hna giggled, "Hehe! This little snake is quite fierce~!" "Papa, leave it to me. I will beat it up nicely for you!" "Go." Huo Yuhao calmly said. He had a faint smile on his handsome face because Helena rarely went outside. She also has to nap regrly, condensing her essence as the Divine Spirit of Huo Yuhao. ording to the estimation, Hna''s essence was equal to a Divine Beast over 30,000,000 years old. So, her ytime is always cut short. Swoosh! Helena pped her draconic wings and appeared before the Great Fang Matter Beast. Her little fist was ''thoroughly'' coated with a metallic dark gleam as she punched the beast''s face. BAM! The ominous aura around the forbidden beast''s body was ''weirdly'' reduced to nothing before Helena''s punch hit it. Saint Juke''s eyes widened, ''How is that even possible? The forbidden aura could repel naturalw and defy it to a certain extent!'' ''The Great Fang Matter Beast has just awakened its forbidden beast''s bloodline, so its forbidden aura is the most chaotic right now, and no concept could attack it!'' Huo Yuhao nced at Saint Juke andmented, "Your little beast is impressive. It possessed such a unique bloodline and power to defy heaven." "However, before Helena, heaven is her yground." "This is her inborn power, Absolution." After saying that, Huo Yuhao didn''t say anything anymore. Helena is essentially unique. Perhaps the only one of her kind. She possessed Ddraig and Albion powers, which birthed a true innate talent that broke the bnce of the world. She''s literally a Bnce Breaker. Doubling, Transference, Prate. Dividing, Absorbance, Reflect. Helena inherited these abilities, which merged and formed a singr ability that Huo Yuhao and Eluxia called Heavenly Absolution. Before Helena''s eyes, the world became her yground, and she deemed everything sinful. She could alter her yground, dividing her enemy''s strength before absorbing it to herself or giving it to others. Yes, this conceptual power exceeded the concepts themselves. She brought a reality where everything is equal but herself. She''s the lovely princess, so everyone must give her a gift or be punished for being petty. It doesn''t matter if you''re stronger than Helena. Her power is irresistible. If she sees you as sinful, she will reap your strength and power as a price for her forgiveness. Yes, this Heavenly Absolution. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao couldn''t test Helena''s powers against those of higher Omniversal Beings to see if Heavenly Absolution could affect them. Huo Yuhao firmly believed in the possibility, but Hna might be too young to reach that stage yet. "Absolution..." Saint Juke was stunned by Huo Yuhao''s words. He pondered, and his expression turned grim because the Great Fang Matter Beast shouldn''t be affected by it. There must be a w in this ability. Of course, there is a w. There is no perfect ability in the Great Omniversal Order. Even those Great Omniversal Beings such as Techno Archons admitted they had ws. Helena''s Heavenly Absolution needs time to work. Five seconds to lock one''s karma, another five to ce them in her realm, and thest five to bnce everything but herself. This unbroken fifteen seconds is a restriction on Helena''s current self. However, her activation time became faster as she grew stronger personally. BOOM! Helena pummeled the Great Fang Matter Beast to the ocean and yed a gun pose with her fingers. She pointed her finger gun at the forbidden beast below, "Filthy little snake, take this~!" "One Hundred Fold Divide." BOOOM! Like a smite from heaven, a rose light pir descended from the sky and struck the Great Fang Matter Beast. SHRIEEEEEEEKKKK!!! The Great Fang Matter Beast shrieked in pain, feeling every bit of its body getting stripped of their power. Even its forbidden beast''s bloodline inside seems to thin out slightly. The young, forbidden beast panicked. As the descendant of the forbidden beast, its bloodline is its best reliance to climb higher and grow stronger. Without it, the Great Fang Matter Beast would lose its power. SWOOSH! BAM! The Great Fang Matter Beast tore the space with its fangs and escaped from Helena''s rose pir. It swam in the ocean and rushed toward Saint Juke quickly. "Wow, so fast! How about I take your speed?" Helena yfully said, and a rose light exploded from the forbidden beast''s body, bing a ball of light. As the ball of light extracted from the forbidden beast''s body, it sank into the ocean. It couldn''t swim freely anymore as every movement was as slow as a snail. Saint Juke hurriedly descended to help the Great Fang Matter Beast and used his divine might to influence the world. He multiplied the young forbidden beast''s speed, allowing it to move again. "Oh?" Helena was amused. Even though she wasn''t serious when taking the little snake''s speed, this ugly-looking elder actually could multiply its speed again. Saint Juke didn''t return the beast''s speed but increased its nearly zero speed to match its base attribute again. The Great Fang Matter Beast quickly flew toward Saint Juke. It wanted to ask thetter for another boost. "Interesting." Helena put on a wondering expression. "Hehe, I wonder what happens if I return your speed." "Such a great momentum and size... Getting hit by it must be hurt." With a wave of her little hand, Helena canceled her dividing. BOOOM! Since the Great Fang Matter Beast is running for its dear life, it runs the best it can. Its speed increased beyond the speed of light. Helena also returned its bloodline power, which makes the forbidden aura thicken around its body. And the cherry on top is that the beast couldn''t stop! It wasn''t that smart to begin with. Saint Juke paled, watching the dark behemoth charging at him. Before he could issue a mentalmand, the forbidden beast struck his small body like a merciless truck-kun. Saint Juke couldn''t even scream before perishing due to the forbidden aura rampaging through his body and soul. He literally turned into dust. "..." Everyone. "That cruel little devil..." Tian Meng was speechless as she pitied Saint Juke. When Helena sets her sights on someone or something interesting, the other party won''t end well. BOOOM! The Great Fang Matter Beast crashed on the Tiny World''s membrane, causing a massive ck hole in the sky. This ck hole poured an ominous dark liquid that corrupted the air and water upon contact. ROAR! A giant covered in full-body heavy armor manifested from the corrupted seawater. At the same time, countless green-eyed bats also appeared from thin air. "Phantoms..." Kuina tightened her grip on her katana. "They are waiting for this!" "They are the real invaders!" Chapter 358: Overwhelming Tide of Phantoms, Three Phantom Lords

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check thetest Chapters there. ---354 --- BOOOM! The loud explosion of a surging corrupted tsunami hit the sea around Loguetown. The armored giant roared toward Huo Yuhao and others, causing a ripple in the space-time fabrics. Toki paled because this ripple was such a strong disturbance toward her domain ability. If ites close enough to her, the Worldfall Frozen Moment might get canceled. If that happened, the Loguetown and this timeline would get ruined forever. "Man, this is bad..." Tian Meng couldn''t help but say. She sighed while rubbing her chin, thinking deeply about something. "Hey, how long can you maintain your domain if you get hit by the space-time ripple?" Toki unsurely answered, "I''m afraid my Worldfall Frozen Moment could onlyst five seconds. After that, this frozen time will dissolve." "Yuhao, you hear her!" Tian Meng shouted. Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, "Five seconds... So, as long as we don''t let them get close to Toki, everything will be fine." "We can also kill the Phantom Lords and end this farce simultaneously." "Helena, give that older sister a little help." Hna nced at Toki and nodded, "Okay, Papa~!" She appeared before Toki and stared at her green eyes in amusement before giggling. "Big sister, you''re interesting." "Hmm, maybe you have a chance to be Papa''s girl too." "Anyway, here is your little boost. Haiyah!" A rosy light pir exploded from Helena''s palm and hit Toki''s body, submerging herpletely. Toki instinctively crossed her arms, thinking she would get injured, but felt her strength grow with a leap instead. Her cultivation soared like a rocket and broke through to Level 70 despite not absorbing any spirit rings. Her spirit energy, physique, and mental power also surged in her meridian, increasing over 1000% of what she should have initially. "This is..." Toki was speechless. Isn''t this too heaven-defying? Helena noticed Toki''s bewildered look and smirked like a fox, "Hehe, what do you think? This princess''s ability is amazing, right?" "Papa said I''d be one of the strongest in the future." "However, you shouldn''t get toocent with my boosting. After all, it''s temporary and illusory in the greater picture. All I did was divide the world''s energy and increase your base''s strength to the limit." "Understood." Toki nodded, calming herself. With this much boost, she could resist Phantom''s disturbance better. Helena moved her gaze to Huo Yuhao and mumbled, "Sister Meng, do you think Papa will personally fight this time?" Tian Meng gazed at the iing ck tsunami and storm and replied mildly, "It''s Yuhao. He''s going to fight one way or another." "The question is, what power would he use? Necromancy is too strong for this world''sw. His sses'' power isn''t bad, but most offensive skills are too destructive." "Don''t you forget he almost destroyed the Stasis Timeline once with a casual sh from a random divine sword he made?" Helena''s expression turned into a funny one because she was the one who asked Huo Yuhao to do a casual swing. Well, it was a disastrous casual swing. "So, necromancy and sses are out of the question. Then, Papa might use that aspect." Hna mumbled humorously. "Are you talking about that unstable aspect?" Tian Meng raised her eyebrow slightly. "Hehe, exactly. Isn''t it funny that Papa is the leader of Dragon Nest, but he rarely uses his draconic powers." Tian Meng put on a bitter expression because she has evolved into a dragon and has been doing her best to master her newfound power. Unlike Huang Qiu''er, who only has blood and consumes Devil Fruit, Tian Meng inherently evolved from a worm to a True Dragon. So, she spends most of her time cultivating her mental power and dragon origin. Even then, Tian Meng couldn''tpare herself to Huo Yuhao. That monster is an anomaly. Although Huo Yuhao didn''t focus on experimenting with draconic powers much, his improvement is akin to the jetpared to Tian Meng''s snail-like speed. It was annoying to see him mastering Dragon God''s power like it was nothing. Of course, this is just Tian Meng''sining about Huo Yuhao''s daily weirdness. Still, deep inside, Tian Meng knew just how much blood, sweat, and tears Huo Yuhao put into his training. Seeing how calm Huo Yuhao was, Tian Meng knew all that hard work built his current confidence. "They areing," Oceana said solemnly. "Yuhao-sama, why do I feel these phantoms are more dangerous than Saint Juke''s people, excluding the Great Fang Matter Beast?" Huo Yuhao stared at the dark tsunami and answered, "Because they are ready." "Saint Juke ising here not fully prepared. He''s like a man who wears thin clothes, not knowing he''d venture into an icy storm." "An idiot, I''d say." "However, the phantoms are cunning. They would do anything to twist timelines in their images." "They know how to be patient and strike when the iron is hot." He closed his eyes. "In fact, there must be a Phantom Lord who can read the future far enough to escape Saint Juke''s divine might." "That''s a terrifying ability to have." Oceana paled slightly. Huo Yuhao chuckled lightheartedly, "But it''s not the best method or nowhere near omniscient." "Future is unknown." "A small action could cause a butterfly to p its wing, changing the course of the event." "If you only see one future, you only see one ending. And it might not be a good ending, too." "Well, aren''t you something of an oracle also?" He teased Oceana. Oceana sighed helplessly, "Yuhao-sama, I''m just the spirit of Tiny World." "My job has always been watching Tiny World grow and protect it from danger despite possessing no real power..." "Is that so? Well, here they areing." Huo Yuhao responded casually. The armored giant appeared before them and stirred the surrounding space. A giant war axe appeared in his hand, falling with unstoppable momentum. "Clear Sky!" Kuina shed her finger like a sword, slicing the armored giant into tiny droplets. BOOM! The giant''s remains fell to the ocean, bing one with the corrupted sea. "Not bad." Huo Yuhao could tell Kuina''s divine power control has be much better than before. If Kuina had more than one day, she could have finished the armored giant for good. Why for good? The armored giant is just a ''small'' portion of the ''real'' body. SWOOSH! One kilometer giant rose from the sea and looked down on Kuina, trying to stomp her. Kuina''s eyes widened slightly before a scoff came from her, "Hmph!" "Law of Thousand Swords, Die." With a wave of her hand, Kuina burst with sharp divine might and formed a thousand invisible swords in the air. Then, she impaled the giant with those swords and ended its life with soul-destroying divine power. BOOOOOOOOM!! The giant turned into light particles. "Well, that works too." Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. Since Kuina couldn''t control a small, fine detail, she only needed to destroy everything. Meanwhile, the other goddesses faced the phantom bats that swarmed toward Loguetown. Seeing the dark storm from countless bats made them squint their eyes in disgust. "Ara, what a mess. I will clean it." Raikou chuckled as she walked forward. Huang Qiu''er, Robin, and Rossweisse nced at each other and nodded before disappearing into nothingness. Soon, they appeared on the south, west, and east sides of Loguetown. BOOM! ROAR! Three phenomena appear in those areas. Huang Qiu''er faced several crimson blood tornados, unhurriedly brandishing her Golden Dragon Spear. Robin calmly looked down on the sea, seeing several ice-armored soldiers walking with an ice giant on the lead. Finally, Rossweisse faced countless, floating evil eyes in the sky. Those eyeballs rotating and jerking in the air, giving off ominous feelings. "Three Phantom Lords, as expected, this is the worst phantom group we ever faced." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes slightly. "Their strength is also quite simr to Huang Qiu''er and others." "This, you''re not going to help them?" Oceana was confused by Huo Yuhao''s calmness. Huo Yuhao smirked, "There is no need to do so." "Because those Phantom Lords couldn''t beat my goddesses." "Not even close." Chapter 359: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (1)

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 382! ---355 --- The Tiny World''s trembling. Oceana could feel her entire being disgusted by the presence of the Three Phantom Lords. They are like cancers that invaded her body for no reason. The sky and ocean have gotten corrupted, which was horrible for her. Oceana stared at Huo Yuhao and couldn''t help but ask, "Yuhao-sama, are you expecting them from the beginning?" "Yes," said Huo Yuhao calmly. "Saint Juke and the Great Tan Dukes are merely a distraction." "Why do you think I let him summon and control the Great Fang Matter Beast? He''s killing his own people, which were intruders to you." Huo Yuhao shrugged and added nonchntly. "I''m trying to do the bare minimum here. They are dead, and the forbidden beast is ''quickly'' neutralized. It''s a win-win situation for us." "I..." Oceana was speechless. So, you''re letting them destroy themselves. Isn''t this scheme too cruel? Huo Yuhao noticed Oceana''s look of pity andmented, "Kindness to your enemies meant being cruel to yourself. You know very well that if I''m not here, they will destroy this timeline and ruin it forever." "Also, haven''t you requested me to eliminate them earlier?" Oceana shut her mouth. Yes, she was being too sensitive. Those viins died for good. "I''m sorry..." "It''s okay. I know the world''s spirit is always innocent in life. You''re no different." "Looks like the Phantom Lords are struggling." Huo Yuhao looked down from the sky, watching Kuina dice the armored giant to pieces again. "I didn''t know she could be so strong." Oceana''s eyes widened as she knew Kuina was Tiny World''s native. Huo Yuhao nodded, "Because Kuina died too early in the earliest timeline, which buried her potential forever." Oceana regretted something after hearing that. "If I had known that, I''d have blessed her with Tiny World''s essence. It would protect her life." "Blessing? There is such a thing?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. Oceana lifted her nose proudly, "I don''t want to brag, but Tiny World has a special privilege, which I could use to increase heaven''s chosen growth and chance of survival." "The Tiny World''s essence contained immeasurable luck, protecting those who owned it from grave danger." "I have used them for Joyboy and Roger a few times." ''Ah, so plot armor. Got it.'' Huo Yuhao thought while clicking his tongue. He expected super duper ''amazing'' stuff, but a luck boost like this is still reasonable. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao is the God of Fortune. He knew nearly everything about luck was ''naturally'' connected to destiny and fate. The underlying is how much luck one must possess to affect thetter. Being a protagonist is one of them. All of a sudden, the sound of a thunderp startled Oceana. Oceana turned around and saw Raikou dancing in the sky, flickering with blue lightning arcs. She faced countless phantom bats and killed them with a blueser beam condensed from pure thunder energy. "So strong!" Oceana said out loud. Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, ''Why did you sound so surprised? People from your world could decimate a mountain or ind if they wanted to.'' Raikou pped her hand, creating a thunderp. She gathered pure thunder energy before unleashing it in a straight line. She even changed her hand''s shape, which caused theser-like ray to separate and kill more bats. She was experimenting with her power. "Kuina and Raikou would be done in a moment..." Huo Yuhaomented lightly. "As for the rest, it might be a little challenging." Oceana tilted her head in confusion, "Didn''t you say the Phantom Lord couldn''t beat your goddesses earlier? You even added, and I quote, "Not even close." after that." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "Yes, I said that. However, I never said they would be an easy opponent for them." "Phantoms are tricky enemies. And Phantom Lord is even trickier." "Thedies knew this fact and searched for loopholes in the Phantom Lord''s conduct." "Just watch." "Is that so..." Oceana dazed by Huo Yuhao''s overbearing confidence. ... ... Huang Qiu''er watched countless crimson tornados calmly. From her sense, these tornadoes were ''directly'' made by the Phantom Lord''s powers. Each tornado carried an immense amount of blood, which made Huang Qiu''er narrow her eyes because her Golden Dragon Spear wanted to absorb this blood for nourishment. If Huang Qiu''er didn''t hold tight, the Golden Dragon Spear might fly off to the tornado. She turned her right hand into the dragon''s hand and swung the Golden Dragon Spear, creating a golden energy st. SWOOOSH!'' The crimson tornado shed with the golden energy st. Huang Qiu''er calmly watched for a second before saying, "Explode." BOOOM! One crimson tornado was ''sessfully'' destroyed by the attack. It got reduced to nothingness. Yet a few breathster, the crimson tornado returned and became much more powerful. Not only did it reach one hundred meters tall, but it also released a terrifying might that could shred things apart. No, we are not talking about shredding ''normal'' things apart. We are talking about God''s divine sense. Huang Qiu''er analyzed this aspect and mumbled, "Anti-divine power, which is quite annoying. I can''t use the Golden Dragon Spear''s energy to destroy the tornado now." The Golden Dragon Spear released a faint light. Huang Qiu''er nced at it, "Fine, I will get you the blood energy, so stop whining. Aren''t you supposed to be an Ultra Divine Tool?" The Golden Dragon Spear bes dimmer before flickering with a red and dark light as if itined to Huang Qiu''er. After being close to Huang Qiu''er for over eight years, the Golden Dragon Spear has developed a strong familiarity with its wielder. It has grown a weapon''s spirit, showing just how high its potential is as the Ultra Divine Tool made by the Golden Dragon King''s rib bone. There are also seals on the Golden Dragon Spear, and Huang Qiu''er has unlocked some of them, finding some secrets about the Golden Dragon King and Dragon God. Since Huang Qiu''er couldn''t use any divine-rted powers and skills, she could only rely on her old spirit ability and devil fruit. Thetter has never gotten rusty due to her constant usage over the past years. There is also Divine Might, which is technically not Divine Power. The one Huo Yuhao developed is more like a modified version of Omnipotence. Instantly, the aura around Huang Qiu''er changed. Unlike her graceful and cold aura earlier, the current aura felt like a sharp yet terrifying spear that could strike everything down. "Restrain your divine aura. I don''t want to waste my effort," said Huang Qiu''er while positioning the Golden Dragon Spear before him. The spear quickly lost its divine lustra, bing just a durable weapon for Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er breathed in, feeling Yellow Dragon''s power course in her vein but not leaking out. She gazed forward before thrusting with all her might. A golden light flushed out, creating a curtain in the air. SWOOOOOOSH! BOOOOOM!! The sea and sky parted into two. The same goes for the crimson tornado, which lost its power upon contact with the magnificent spear attack. Yes, that was just a ''normal'' spear thrust. However, it was unbelievably fast and decisive, causing the air to explode by its momentum alone. With this mastery alone, Huang Qiu''er has qualified to be Spear Goddess. Unfortunately, she can''t be one with Scathach around. Huang Qiu''er noticed a flicker of disturbance in space-time, "Got you." She kicked the air and appeared a few kilometers away, stabbing into thin air. BOOM! SPLAT! The Golden Dragon Spear pierced through an invisible enemy. "Absorb." Huang Qiu''ermanded, permitting the spear to absorb the invisible enemy''s blood energy. "AAAAAAAAAARRGHHH!" A blood-curdling roar echoed, revealing a skinny monster hybrid of a man and a wolf. "Y-You, how did you..." "Damn it. The fortune teller''s prediction is wrong!" "You wanted to kill me? Then, I will take you down to hell!" "Glory to the Phantom Emperor..." The monster hybrid gritted his teeth and started emitting a dangerous energy. "Yellow Dragon''s Rock Solid Body." nk! A fierce explosion erupted and hit Huang Qiu''er, but whates is just a metal-shing noise. Huang Qiu''er appeared from the explosion unscathed. The surrounding area returned to normal, and the crimson tornado became food for the Golden Dragon Spear. "Phantom Emperor..." Huang Qiu''er whispered to herself. "Looks like there are more than three Phantom Lords in this invasion." Chapter 360: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (2)

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 382! ---356 --- After Huang Qiu''er finished the Phantom Lord, the space-time in the Tiny World recovered a bit. Oceana could feel the pressure decreasing each second. Once again, Oceana was speechless. Those whoe with Huo Yuhao are nothing but monsters. From Oceana''s sense, she could tell the master of the crimson tornados isn''t simple. No magic. No blessing. It was a simple spear thrust to end it all. To split a world apart with a spear strike signified her position as the goddess. Heaven favors those who work hard, but Huang Qiu''er exceeds it. "Oceana, your view is limited to Tiny World." Huo Yuhaomented calmly on the side. "It''s amon misconception to make when you see something amazing, using it as your pedestal to judge something." "Qiu''er is strong. She has trained under my supervision for over eight years and has shown remarkable results even by my organization''s standard, which led her to achieve this much power." "She wanted to grasp her own fate and destiny, breaking the shackles ced on her feet. Today, you see her in full glory before iming her destiny..." "Shackles on her feet..." Oceana mumbled, seeing the confident blue-haired goddess pulling her spear back. Huo Yuhao also stared at Huang Qiu''er and praised her. Given how strong she was now, Tang San couldn''t touch her. As for whether she could defeat the Sea God, that would be a question forter. Unless Tang San risked getting his Godseat damaged, he wouldn''t make a reckless move for a few years. That few years are enough for Huang Qiu''er to increase her Godseat to half-step Godking or Godking. It''s not impossible with Huo Yuhao''s help. "Qiu''er has done a splendid job. Now, we must wait for Robin and Rossweisse." "Robin. She''s just like Kuina." Oceanamented. Huo Yuhao raised his brow before smiling, "Yes. They are simr but have different goals. Robin just wanted a good life after the suffering she had gone through from childhood to adulthood." "Before meeting me, her joy came only from deciphering poneglyph and adventuring with her crew." "I..." Oceana awkwardly moved her gaze to Robin. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "I didn''t me you for not helping Robin. I also felt guilty for her recent sufferings." "I will pay her back soon." At the top of Huo Yuhao''s head, he also promised a date with girls after this ordeal. It''s not just Robin. Yes, Huo Yuhao also must be responsible for others. ''There are still Valerie and Mei.'' Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, waiting for something or someone. ... ... Robin faced the ice-armored soldier and ice giant calmly. Her eyes shone with ivory, magical lights from her newly added Martial Souls. She has three Martial Souls, which gives her a better prospect than others. However, Robin didn''t dare to be arrogant. Huo Yuhao granted her wish to turn the hateful Phantom Lord into her Martial Soul, so the feeling she got from the ice giant was familiar. This ice giant is dangerous. Robin breathed in and mumbled, "I have taken things seriously with extreme care. The consumption of three Martial Souls is enormous." "But I will be able to take it." "After all, I''m also a Goddess." Robin extended her hand, and several pieces of white paper fell to the ocean below. The white paper spread and turned into a beautiful white flower field. ''I''d never thought I would have to use this new technique so soon.'' "Domain Expansion... White Death Soul Field." The white flower bloomed, spreading spores in the air. The ice giant stopped on his track and stared at the spreading white spores solemnly. He looked up to Robin, "So, she was the one who killed Copycat. We, Phantom Lord, exist conceptually, but to down us like this is a different matter." "My soldiers! Be careful of your steps..." "Our opponent is dangerous!" ''Crimson Typhoon has died.'' The ice giant suddenly thought amidst his order. ''How is that even possible? He has the best life-saving ability among us, Phantom Lords?'' Unfortunately, the ice giant couldn''t check how his fellow Phantom Lord died. His hand was already busy with this flower field. "You don''t want toe at me?" Robin''s calm voice stirred their souls. "Then, I wille to you!" Robin clenched her hand, and the flower field burst with a brilliant white-blue light. The spores popped like fireworks, creating a copy of Robin herself. They look like clones, but much more than that. "Mahayana Paper Flower Clones. Attack!" Robin''s clones were coated with Armament Haki as they charged at the ice giant''s army. Both sides shed fiercely, creating chaos in the usually quiet ocean. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The ice giant killed several clones in one hit of his mighty halberd but soon discovered a problem with his enemies. They are immortal! Yes, Robin''s clones are immortal. The only way to kill them is to break her domain or herself. Of course, the ice giant didn''t know this fact. The ice giant could only use his ability, "Absolute Zero..." With a heavy thump, the ice giant collected his breath into his palm and infused it into his giant halberd. He swept the weapon like a scythe and created a freezing shockwave. Crack! Robin''s clones turned into ice sculptures, sealing them indefinitely. "My soldiers, advance!" The ice giant pointed his halberd at Robin. ''As long as we can maintain the corruption in the area, our mission will beplete.'' The ice soldiers roared and stepped into the air by freezing it. Their steps are heavy and well-coordinated. Facing over a hundred thousand enemies alone made Robin feel nostalgic because her crew used to be in this situation. After this, she might be able to meet them again. "What a fool..." Watching the soldiers walk to her, Robin couldn''t help but chuckle. "One step to destruction, that is." "Explode, my clones." "This..." The ice giant''s eyes widened because he felt his heart throbbing suddenly. He hurriedly created an ice barrier around him and saw the clones he had frozen on the field burning with white me. "No. I''ve fallen into that demoness trap-!" Before the ice giant could finish his word, a loud explosion range over several kilometers cubic swallowed him and his army. The center of it is none other than Robin''s domain, which also swallowed their souls and prevented them from getting revived. A blue shadow escaped the explosion, crashing against an ind far away with a painful thud. Cough! Cough! The ice giant coughed a mouthful of blue-colored blood. He felt like shit. His body has gotten injured beyond his natural recovery. Even if he wanted to heal, it would take a few years. That demoness is ruthless! "W-Where is she?" The ice giant looked up with difficulty and found that Robin had disappeared from her spot. He felt a horrible foreboding of this situation. Before the ice giant could react, Robin had already appeared before him and ripped his beating chest with an extra sharp arm made by the long-awakened Flower-Flower Fruit. "Thank you for the donation. Your heart will be a snack for my Martial Soul." Robin indifferently said. With that, another Phantom Lord has passed away. She watched the ice giant''s body turn into dust and turn around in the Rossweisse''s direction. "Qiu''er and I have finished our parts." "Kuina and Raikou are almost done with their tasks." "Rossweisse, you can do this." ... ... Meanwhile, on Rossweisse''s side. She faced several gigantic, floating evil eyes with a solemn expression. "Phew..." She sighed helplessly. "I think I''m in big trouble." Chapter 361: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (3)

Chapter 361: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (3)

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 382! ---357 --- "I think I''m in big trouble..." Rossweisse helplessly stared at her enemy. The rotating eyeballs in the sky are jerking violently, releasing an ominous presence that warps space-time or reality. The clouds have turned red like blood and shake as if they were alive in the first ce. Rossweisse couldn''t see past the eyeballs without using her Akashic Magical Codes, but she needed time to ess the knowledge. She wasn''t the best fighter among Yuhao''s girls. Even then, she has always been ready for all kinds of situations. Rossweisse summoned a two-meter magic staff and cast, "Mana Field, Mana Drain, Mana Barrier, Mana Mines..." "Combination Magic, Sigh at Magic''s Wonders!" In an instant, everything within a 100-meter radius around Rossweisse turned into a blue-colored field of magic. There are several symmetrical lines, exposing space-time and other magical wonders. Rossweisse didn''t stop there. Her aqua-blue eyes lit up brilliantly, and the field reacted to it, twisting and changing to her will. This 100-meter radius domain is Rossweisse''s absolute field, where she could be omnipotent and omniscient simultaneously. In fact, the Sigh of Magic''s Wonders is just like Tian Meng''s spiritual ability to see the world from a different angle and perspective, like a god overseeing a mortal''s world. The only difference is that Rossweisse condensed the field in a smaller range, allowing her to increase the output of her attack. At the same time, the phantom lord is also ready to attack Rossweisse and im this ce. The rotating evil eyeballs suddenly red at Rossweisse, firing a redser at her. "Spiritual Attack?" Rossweisse watched the redser travel in the air and hit her field. BANG! The magic sphere field Rossweisse created withstood theser and rippled rapidly. Even then, Rossweisse hasn''t moved an inch. She observed the redser and made a quick mental calction. "Does this phantom lord mainly use spiritual-based attacks? No, this spiritual attack has reached the adept level and could affect reality significantly." "It ignores air resistance for a few seconds, too." "Given the diameter, length, and its force..." "Thisser could pierce most Title Douluo who weren''t confident in their defensive capability. As for the effect of being hit, I''m afraid their spiritual sea will get damaged forever." Rossweisse closed her eyes, "What a fearsome opponent." "But this is also good for me. I can see how much stronger I have be in the past fifteen years, and show Yuhao-sama the result of my hard work!" With that in mind, countless blue beads made from pure mana appeared around Rossweisse. They spun rapidly and created illusions of water droplets. They look harmless at first nce, but once hit by it, one would feel extreme heat burning their bodies. "Go!" Rossweisse waved her slender hand decisively and sent the blue beads toward the phantom lord. Several starlights traveled in the air and ripped through the redser. ROAR! A roar-like spiritual attack escaped the evil eyeballs, but it was useless. BOOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The beads are mighty. They are like agents of destruction, reaching toward the phantom lord''s life. The phantom lord''s eyes twitched as the bead hit it. "Photon Spray." Rossweisse watched her enemy fall like a leaf at the end of fall and showed no shred of emotions. She''s like an aloof goddess amidst all this destruction. Of course, this is far from over. This phantom lord isn''t dead. The one Rossweisse eliminated was just one of the Evil Eye''s bodies, as it was a gathering of countless evil spiritual lifeforms. Throb! Suddenly, Rossweisse''s eyes widened as her heart skipped a beat. It was a weird sensation like someone''s hand clenched around her heart. BANG! Rossweisse''s field shook from outside and pushed away. She turned around and saw two evil eyeballs looking at her dirtily. They actually swallowed her mana! "As expected, this was a problem from the very beginning." Rossweisse sighed inwardly. She has tested the Evil Eye''s power earlier and has confirmed the effect now. Kekeke~! Rossweisse raised her head, "Are youughing at me now?" "Do you really think breaking my field is enough to defeat me?" "It seems you think I was weak in closebat, too." "I will tell you a spoiler. I''m not weak." After saying that, a magic battle dress covered Rossweisse''s body. She also wore a helmet with wing decorations on each side. Her transformation isn''t over as an image of a qilin appears, bing one with her battle dress. It granted her antlers, a scale-fur armoryer, and two golden wings. Rossweisse pped her wings and appeared before two Evil Eye''s bodies, swinging a gentle-looking punch. "Glory to Pantheon!" The gentle-looking punch hit the bodies, causing them to blow up instantly. BOOOOOM!! Huang Qiu''er and Robin looked at Rossweisse''s performance from their location and broke a sweat. "What a punch..." Robin mumbled awkwardly. "That physical might. I don''t think my base form could rival it." Huang Qiu''er calcted Rossweisse''s punching strength solemnly. "To think she was the goddess of magic." "Maybe it was ''physical'' magic." "What am I even talking about?" Huang Qiu''er smiled helplessly. Rossweisse has gone into aplete rampage in the sky full of rotating eyeballs. She showed no mercy, beating her enemy with a fist and magical staff. Her punch is like a small-scale big bang explosion, which rendered the phantom lord''s regeneration ability. Rossweisse is a Walkure, and her physical strength is beyond that of ordinary experts. However, she couldn''t achieve this purely from physical strength alone. All this enhancementes from her Armor of Magic Army and Ancient Void-Winged Kirin''s transformation. She also added a modified version of Divine Might into her body, making her more powerful than ever. Surprisingly enough, all this was experimentation. After all, Rossweisse obviously likes to deal with things with her magic. She wanted to agitate the phantom lord, forcing it to make a mistake. Yes, the fatal mistake Rossweisse could manipte to gain victory. Throb! ''Again?'' Rossweisse felt her chest tightened again. The more she fought the Evil Eye, the more pain she felt in her heart. She calcted something and frowned. "I see..." "It was a trap, huh?" After realizing her mistake, Rossweisse finally knew the Evil Eye''s power. It''s not spiritual-based attacks but curse-type ones instead. The method is simr to that of a straw or voodoo doll, and the catalyst is the Evil Eye''s bodies. The more Rossweisse killed, the more affected she was by the curse. The redser in the beginning was a distraction. Rossweisse''s lips curved slightly. "How unfortunate of you." "Do you think my magic didn''t branch off to curses?" "Big mistake!" The Evil Eye suddenly groaned and felt hot all over its body. The curse nted on Rossweisse''s heart bes out of control. One of the bodies locked its sight on Rossweisse not far away, which turned Evil Eye''s worldview upside down. What the Evil Eye saw is ''simply'' too unbelievable. "This woman..." "How can someone be so cruel toward herself?" Rossweisse adjusted her breathing inside her field. Currently, several mana spikes have pierced her body. There are at least a thousand of them, each puncturing her beating heart. Blood came from her fair skin, making her look like a tragic heroine. Perseverance. That''s one of Rossweisse''s best qualities, which Huo Yuhao had to admit its power. Rossweisse''s perseverance for fifteen years in the timeline is abnormal, and the only things that keep her sane are her magic, remaining family members in the Draconic Deus, and Huo Yuhao himself. Pain, what is that? They are just illusions of fleshpared to Rossweisse''s homesickness and sorrow. Rossweisse wiped the corner of her mouth, "Akashic Magical Codes, Section 7." "Curse God''s Record." "Snake Hunt, Chicken Hunt, Rat Hunt, and Curse Spirit Hunts..." "Mimicry 100%, the Game of Culling begins." "Let''s see who is pu*sy between the two of us." The Evil Eye felt a looming danger and felt Rossweisse cursing him. They felt an invisible weight on their soul, body, and spirits. Each second passed, and the weight was multiplied by two. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. ... ... Fifteen seconds! Crush! POOF! Under the weight of the curse, the Evil Eye hurriedly cut off its connection with Rossweisse. 99% of its body has gotten squished into pulps. This woman is scary! She endured the weight of all that cursed energy like nothing. Her aqua-blue eyes are still zing with utter spirit. "Hehe, what a pu*sy!" Rossweisse pointed her finger at the Evil Eye and fired another Photon Spray, ending the life of the phantom lord. As the starlight passed, another danger fell. At the same time, Kuina and Raikou also finished the small phantoms in the ocean and sky. Oceana sighed in relief, "Thank god. They finished those intruders quickly." "I''m so nervous." "It''s not over." Huo Yuhao calmly said. "Eh? But we have killed all the phantoms in the area?" Oceana was shocked. Huo Yuhao stared at the massive hole crack in the sky, "Heh, who said we killed them all?" "There is ast boss for this kind of scenario." ''Also, my quest isn''t finished yet.'' KABOOM! The crack in the sky spread even more. At first, Oceana thought another enormous monster like the forbidden beast woulde, but she was very wrong. "No way..." Oceana was in disbelief. Huo Yuhao stared at the tiny figure descending from the void crack and smiled, "This is thest boss? Not too shabby." A ck-haired man in a ck robe entered everyone''s vision. He has a handsome face, crimson eyes, and this ethereal aura around him. ''Evo, scan.'' Huo Yuhao sensed strong draconic sense from this new opponent and wanted to see the details of this phantom lord. [Scanning...] [...] [..] [Error%&@^&] [ERROR^#@@#] [The system can''t scan this target!!!] [Host, I rmend you to run!] [This being is above my grade] [It''s-!] Before Evo could finish its words, the system got shut down. "Evo? Evo!" Huo Yuhao was surprised by this sudden development. "So noisy." said the ck-robed man. His crimson eyes locked on Huo Yuhao. He dug his earzily, "I shut your system temporarily. It''s ruining my mood." "Take out your weapon, kid." "Let''s talk." Chapter 362: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (4)

Chapter 362: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (4)

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 382! ---358 --- ''This is unexpected.'' Huo Yuhao solemnly thought to himself. This ck-robed man. He''s not a phantom lord. There is no mistake. Even though Huo Yuhao doesn''t know who the Phantom Emperor is, he''s sure this man isn''t it. Yes, this ck-robed is a being that exceeds Evo''s 3rd-tier Omniversal Realm. Huo Yuhao could only think of one reasonable guess. This man is either 2nd tier or 1st tier. If it was the former, Huo Yuhao might be able to survive because he had a 1st tier seal on his soul. If it''s thetter chance, Huo Yuhao could only silently pray for a slight possibility to run with thedies. At the same time, Huo Yuhao was puzzled. Didn''t Evo say none of the higher Omniversal Beings can sense his presence and location? Huo Yuhao had a 1st tier seal protecting him from them until he was strong enough. The ck-robed man''s eyes shed with something. "You''re overthinking this situation. If I wanted to kill you, I''d simply release my presence and bury you in this small world." "My goal here is simple." "I''d like to see how stronger you are." "Think of it as a test, so show everything you had." "Really?" Huo Yuhao''s blue eyes gazed at the ck-robed man, meeting with his crimson eyes. The ck-robed man curled his lips, "Who knows?" ''This guy is joking around with my life...'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butugh in this tense situation. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and calmed his nerves. After a while, he pulled a jet-ck halberd and ancient copper brush from his Azure Emperor''s Vault. An overbearing aura exploded from Huo Yuhao''s body, transcending all living beings in Tiny World. Divine might swept over the area and caused a ssh like a massive stone plunging into calm water. Yet with all these changes, the ck-robed man showed no shock nor emotion at Huo Yuhao''s little show. "Yuhao-sama..." Oceana watched Huo Yuhao open his blue eyes, which now had white specks and looked extremely beautiful. As if he had starry skies in his eyes, that''s what Oceana thought. Huo Yuhao didn''t spare Oceana a look, "Stay here. Don''t get dragged into this battle." "I will protect this Sacred Timeline. For myself, you, and them." Swoosh! Huo Yuhao kicked the air and rushed toward the ck-robed man. His halberd is gleaming with a shadowy aura as the power of Shadow Authority enters the area. At the same time, thick jet-ck ink appeared and turned into a rotating ck wheel behind Huo Yuhao. His body bulked slightly with well-defined muscle, covered with faint dragon scales and bluish-white furs. On Huo Yuhao''s back, several illusory wings manifested. They are that of devils, angels, dragons, and many other creatures. Huo Yuhao clenched his grip on his halberd, ''This is the best I could do with my current state. I can also use Primeval Wave White Tiger''s powers and Forest God''s mimicry to stimte Dragon God''s prowess, but they are myst bets.'' "Are you done?" asked the ck-robed man. "The test is simple. All you had to do was survive for five minutes..." "Do everything you can to survive my sword." "You can cheat if you want. Well, if you could even cheat in the first ce." With that, the ck-robed man conjured a sword from nothing. The sword is two meters long and entirely ck. The handle, the body, and even the de are as dark as a night. He swung the sword casually, sending a shiver down Huo Yuhao''s spine. Just so you know, Huo Yuhao has never felt such a threat in his life. Not even the Cursed God and other Techno Archons could drench him in cold sweats. Huo Yuhao used future sight through Divine Might. However, all he could see was his death. Above all else, none of them are preferable enough to increase his odds of winning this test. That sword sh is abnormal. It looks slow and powerless but is ''thoroughly'' packed with endless sword intent. There is no gap within that sword intent. However, that''s not what makes Huo Yuhao frustrated. "What a monster..." In Huo Yuhao''s vision, the ck-robed man''s sword sh represented infinite possibility. This concept allowed the sword sh to create infinite destruction, obstructing all future paths. It would track and pin one down like karma. Yes, this sword sh transcends the universe! Huo Yuhao sighed audibly. He could only try his best. He used the Universal Breathing Technique. His divine circuits activated beyond their limits and reached numbers he usually never used because there were no enemies to push him that far. "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves..." "Concept of Bullet and Caliber." "Concept of Twist and Turn." "Boundless Emperor, Limit Breaker, Dice." "ROLL!" Huo Yuhao eximed while swinging his halberd with all those stacks of powers. A massive white dice appeared in the air and rolled into number six, allowing Huo Yuhao''s attack to contend with the ck-robed man''s sword sh. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The thunderclouds vanished instantly, and all left was a sight of starry skies full of cosmic explosions. Huo Yuhao tore his muscles as his halberd sh shed with the sword sh. He gritted his teeth and preserved under the bombardment of sword intents. Far away, the girls looked at Huo Yuhao worriedly. "Master is facing such a terrifying sword intent. Even here, I felt like I could get cut to pieces." Kuina paled upon seeing Huo Yuhao rained by the dark sword sh. "C-Can he win?" "Believe in Yuhao-sama." Rossweisse suddenly said while wiping her mouth. "He''s a man who made miracles." "Mhm." Huang Qiu''er, Robin, and Raikou agreed with her. Kuina bit her lips, "You guys are right. I should believe in Master''s powers." Meanwhile, Toki couldn''t believe her eyes. "I-Is this the power of a God?" "Yuhao-sama fought the mysterious ck-robed man so fiercely." Tian Meng and Helena didn''t say anything. They wish they could help Huo Yuhao right now, but they can''t. "Papa..." Hna stared at the bleeding Huo Yuhao. Her heart tightened seeing this. Tian Meng wasn''t any better than Helena. Her true essence is connected to Huo Yuhao''s eyes, so she can see what others can''t see. Huo Yuhao is facing the greatest crisis in his life! Unfortunately, Tian Meng could only mask her panic with a calm expression. She cannot afford to make the situation worse. BAM! After all the struggle, Huo Yuhao sessfully diminished the ck-robed man''s sword sh. "Oh?" The ck-robed man finally showed some reactions. "Not bad. With that decentbination of buffs. You could withstand my sword strike." "But this is far from enough." "I know that." Huo Yuhao answered with a slightly trembling hand. "And just you know, this is just the beginning!" The ck-robed man''s crimson eyes shed with amusement, "You''re right. We are just getting started.." He swung his sword again. This time, he swung it twice. It''s double the weight Huo Yuhao must bear. Huo Yuhao''s eyes calmly observed the tightly condensed sword intent and swept his hand, which held the ancient brush. Several blue ripples appeared behind him. A bow, prayer bead, three daggers, a greatsword, and many other divine weapons appeared. "Gate of Azure Emperor." Huo Yuhao''s eyes filled with red light of sword intent. "GO!" BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Red lights and blue lights shed in the air, creating purple chaos. Huo Yuhao utilized his ss Skills to the max, coating each weapon with ''special energy'' only the Divine-grade ss could have. From Moon''s Piercer to the Netherworld Avenger. Huo Yuhao controlled all this power telepathically. Since Huo Yuhao couldn''t win with quality, he''d win with quantity. After a full minute, Huo Yuhao had used nearly 10% of his divine weapons and frowned deeply. ''This is bad. If I can''t crack this guy''s sword intent, I can''t win.'' Huo Yuhao pondered deeply. ''Just what is his power? To have such firepower with a casual sword swing! Even a cheat should have a limit, right?'' ''Wait, cheat?'' A smirk formed on Huo Yuhao''s face as he let go of his halberd. Huo Yuhao brushed the air with an ancient brush and painted something out of pure inspiration. ck ink soared and formed an image. "Heh... This kid is gambling hard." The ck-robed man instantly knew what Huo Yuhao wanted to do. "Then, again, his luck is powerful." Huo Yuhao finished his masterpiece and shouted, "Come! The Ink Sky Mirror''s Clone!" A ck ripple appeared in space-time and revealed a carbon copy of the ck-robed man. He also had crimson eyes and wielded a jet-ck sword. The only difference is that the ink clone''s skin is slightly darker. The ink clone calmly stared at the ck-robed man and pointed his sword decisively, "Let''s fight." Chapter 363: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (End) Chapter 363: Protecting the Sacred Timeline (End) (A/N: Extra Chapter!) If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 382! --- Chapter 359 --- Ink Sky Mirror Clone. It is an ability that Huo Yuhaoes up with on the spot, allowing him to perfectly replicate his enemy''s appearance, power, and skills through the Primordial Ink Devil''s manifestation and Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao. After all, Heavenly Dao of Samsara let Huo Yuhao touch and influence karmic lines. Of course, Huo Yuhao knew this was just a temporary measure. nk! nk! nk! BOOM! In the sky, the ck-robed man shed with his clone. Their swords shed and created star shower-like sparks.Every sh is an extreme shockwave that cracks the space-time, followed by a loud explosion. Huo Yuhao analyzed their movements silently and made mental calctions. The ck-robed man is strong. In fact, he was too strong! Every swing he made looked casual, but they were ''actually'' filled with the charm of nihilism. The most minimal movement he has done is also the most efficient one could make in swordsmanship. Huo Yuhao has sses rted to melee weapons. Pagma''s Incarnation and Netherworld Avenger focused on pure swordsmanship and the absoluteness of swords. So, he understood how terrifying this ck-robed man was. At this very moment, Huo Yuhao felt he had unlocked an untouched part of his brain. His eyes processed information beyond the usual, which turned the surroundings hazy in his vision. It was the first quality of his eyes long before he upgraded and evolved them into the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao. The eyes that mirrored God''s quality, seeing the beginning and the end. "Everything returned to origin..." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself. Ssh! Huo Yuhao slowly looked up, seeing the clone he had gotten injured by the ck-robed man. The ink clone has lost its left arm. ''As expected, the ink clone is not sturdy enough.'' "Not bad." The ck-robed manmented. "This fellow could warm me up." "So, what''s next, Kid?" "Don''t tell me this is all you had?" Huo Yuhao wiped the Onyx Brush again, creating two more clones. "What about these?" "Oh, you can create more?" The ck-robed man raised his eyebrow. "But this is just a distraction for me, right?" Huo Yuhao didn''t respond to the ck-robed man''s remark. Even though he knew the clones wouldn''tst long, he needed a couple more seconds toprehend the wonder of that sword. He also prepared his Assassin and Monk ss skills, which had the highest damage multiplier. "Just a little more..." Huo Yuhao split his mind into a bunch, then focused on micro details. A tide surged inside Huo Yuhao''s body, ready to break free at any moment. Countless waves appeared around Huo Yuhao and released a faint breeze sound. "Hmm?" The ck-robed man nced at Huo Yuhao. He smiled because this kid had realized something good. ''He just needs a little push, and things will get more interesting.'' ''How about this!'' Poof! Poof! Poof! All of a sudden, Huo Yuhao shuddered. He felt his ink clones destroyed at once. "Ah, this is bad." Huo Yuhao watched the ck-robed maning for him. The ck-robed man appeared before Huo Yuhao in a split second. He swung his sword ruthlessly, dragging the infinite universe along. Huo Yuhao breathed in calmly and applied to the daggers floating around him. Sending the daggers away, they shed with the boundless sword intent. BOOM! The ck-robed man smiled, "Oh, you actually applied Abyssal Reaper''s skill into your attacks instead of using them like skills. You''ve reached the integration realm, impressive." Huo Yuhao wasn''t surprised that this man knew about his ss. He smiled back, "It''s not just Abyssal Reaper." The ck-robed man''s eyes widened because he could feel multiple divine forces inside Huo Yuhao. They surged out, charging with different shapes. First, a ck pagoda hit the ck-robed man and put away his firstyer of protection. Then, a fierce silver arrow ignored his defense. A magical box exploded and weakened his control over space-time. After that, white-blue energy invaded his ck robe, a greatsword smashed against his chest, and a blue-red sword pierced his left shoulder. "Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves..." Huo Yuhao gathered the power of a wave in his palm and clenched hard. "Sweep the World." He punched the ck-robed man''s chest with all of his current might and sent him flying. BOOOOM! The dark clouds in the sky parted and revealed a straight line, bright sky The sea also split into two, revealing the dark ground beneath it. Huo Yuhao frowned, knowing his attack was barely good enough as the ck-robed man only flew one hundred meters away after that punch. Any other person would explode receiving that punch. In fact, the ck-robed man doesn''t look injured. All the ''damage'' Huo Yuhao had done to him quickly vanished after a second, including the tear on his shoulder and abdomen. The ck-robed man rubbed his chin, "I have been letting you attack me, but you could onlynd superficial things on me. Kid, have you eaten?" "Also, although the Divine-grade ss is strong, youck the originality that the ss founder has." "Moon''s Piercer could ignore my defense despite having lower strength than me with his unique power." "Techno Archon could create a device to restrict my sword, and the list goes on." "You applied them well, but they aren''t yours." "Yours are just cheap copies of them." "Show me your originals." ''It seems that the unexplored path is the only choice...'' Huo Yuhao thought helplessly. "You''re forcing me to gamble on this. Oh well, I''m lucky." After saying that, a purple me cloud burst from Huo Yuhao''s body and invaded the space around them. The ck-robed man felt a slight danger from the me cloud. "This me is..." Huo Yuhao''s experiment isn''t over. A massive purple coin appeared from thin air and shone brightly with divine light amidst the cloud, giving off invisible oppression to all living beings. Gravity increased by ten thousand floods within a 10-mile radius around Huo Yuhao. "I''m the God of Fortune." Huo Yuhao mumbled unconsciously. "Fortune also means wealth." "My wealth is immeasurable. I can make countless divine weapons and treasures, turning them into my powers." "Fortune also means luck." "My luck is heaven-defying. I can witness the beginning and end of things. With my luck, I can start and end an era." "Which begs the question, don''t those who possess luck alwayse out victorious!" BOOOOOOOM!! "Go, experience the heaviness of fortune." Huo Yuhao indifferently smacked his palm, sending the massive purple coin flying toward the ck-robed man. The ck-robed man swung his sword and created another boundless sword intent, but was surprised to see his attack getting neutralized by Huo Yuhao''s weird purple coin. KABOOM! The boundless sword intent shattered into nothingness. "Sword Universe level 1 is useless? Now, this is an improvement." The ck-robed man couldn''t help but smile. He knew Huo Yuhao was stalling for time to deepen his understanding of his own power. But he didn''t know Huo Yuhao was analyzing his sword attack, too. To him, doing such a thing is pointless. ''But hey, I can be wrong too.'' The ck-robed man stared at Huo Yuhao with more amusement on his handsome face. His crimson eyes lit up in expectation. Unknown to the ck-robed man, Huo Yuhao''s processing speed is probably the highest ever recorded in the Great Omniversal Order. He could think of infinite things in less than 0.00001 seconds. Yes, not even those from the mechanical and spiritual race couldpete against Huo Yuhao''s mind. However, Huo Yuhao barely touched this realm. He has yet to master it. But that''s not important at the moment. The ck-robed man wanted to know Huo Yuhao''s limit. ''Could he contend against my Infinite Sword Way?'' He thought with a hint of yfulness. ''If you''re that demoness''s son, show me more of your potential!'' BOOM! The ck-robed man swung his sword again. However, this time, the boundless sword intent is much calmer. Yet, within that calmness is extreme danger. Huo Yuhao made more purple coins and sent them toward the ck-robed man. Their attack is like two different waves crashing against each other. KACHA! KACHA! Tiny World''s dimensional membranes cracked one after another because of their sh. Huo Yuhao''s nose ran with fresh blood due to the extreme consumption of divinities, but he was grinning like a madman. ''MORE, MORE, MORE, GIVE ME MORE!'' His eyes cracked with faint purple light. It''s not just the ck-robed man who wanted to test Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao also wanted to push himself beyond his limit. After all, it''s rare to meet someone who could test him this far. Unfortunately, the good thing didn''tst forever. Cough! Huo Yuhao abruptly coughed a mouthful of blood. He looked at his palm and saw his divine circuits overheating, bing dark. "Overheating..." "Your body couldn''t handle your new powers." "Haha, but I won''t stop attacking you!" Seeing Huo Yuhao''s condition, the ck-robed didn''t stop and even increased the pace of his sword sh. Soon, Huo Yuhao found himself trapped in the ck-robed man''s sword intent. ''Brat, are you not going to use my power?'' An arrogant voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s mind. It was none other than the Primeval Wave White Tiger''s spirit. Huo Yuhao ignored the little cat''s voice. Given how the ck-robed man acts, borrowing external force would annoy him. ''Come on, you only have to sacrifice a bit of your spiritual sea.'' "Shut up." Huo Yuhao coldly said. His cracked blue eyes red at thin air threateningly. Shudder! The Primeval Beast''s spirit couldn''t help but shiver. Huo Yuhao assessed the situation with absolute calmness. He stared at the ck-robed man and said, "I will go big this time." Two bloodlines inside Huo Yuhao''s body suddenly erupted. The Blue Wave Undying Tiger. And the Naga''s bloodline. Thetter, however, seems to bubble in excitement. ROAR! ROAR! Tiger and Dragon''s roar echoed from the depth of Huo Yuhao''s body. The image of a shadowy violet dragon and a demonic blue tiger appeared from thin air. Huo Yuhao has used Forest God''s mimicry, forcing Dragon God''s traits such as body, elements, and authority to merge with Naga''s bloodline. A newfound Dragon God''s bloodline is born! If the ck-robed man hadn''t shut Evo, Huo Yuhao would have heard a notification now. Weirdly, Huo Yuhao didn''t show any transformation into Dragon or Tiger. He still looked like himself. He kicked the air and rushed forward, causing everyone''s eyes to widen in shock. Even the ck-robed man raised his eyebrow in awe. Huo Yuhao is jumping straight into his sword intent. In other words, he was courting death! But the ck-robed man has a hunch thatHuo Yuhao''s sudden action is ''naturally'' backed up with extreme confidence. Even though they had only known each other for less than thirty minutes, he had grasped Huo Yuhao''s personality well. Huo Yuhao said he''d gamble things out, but he''s actually confident with his luck and calctions. The ck-robed man gathered more sword intent in his ck sword. He watched Huo Yuhao endure getting shredded by his sword universe and moving with an invisible aura around him. This aura is weird. They could resist his boundless sword intent to a certain extent. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao teleported toward the ck-robed man andpletely ignored the hefty distance between them. The ck-robed man squinted his eyes, "That wasn''t teleportation." "It wasn''t." Huo Yuhao was five meters away from him. "I was just jumping toward you." "Kid, you didn''t fail my expectations." "Stop bbering nonsense, Old Man." "I''m not that OLD!" They stared at each other and grinned. "LAST ATTACK!" They shouted simultaneously. The ck-robed man swung his sword horizontally, sweeping and cutting through intangible lines of the world. "Judgement Cut!" Huo Yuhao didn''t stay idle and threw a straight punch. Still, this simple-looking jab warped the space-time around it. "Dragon-Tiger Wave Fist." Sword and fist almost met in the air, yet separated by infinite dimensions. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Tiny World lost its light for a couple of seconds. The energy created by this exchange broke the Tiny World''s dimensional membrane. Outside Tiny World, countless stars turned into dust by this exchange. Fortunately, Tiny World is remote in this universe, or many lives would cease to exist today. After a couple of seconds, light returned to the Tiny World. Huo Yuhao hovered in the air, staring at his nonexistent right arm. He stared at the ck-robed man and found himself in the same situation as the hand-holding sword disappeared. The ck-robed man nced at his nonexistent left arm and smiled, "Kid, you passed!" "You passed with flying colors! Hahaha, it''s been a while since this incarnation of mine got all worked up!" "This is not your real body?" Huo Yuhao was speechless. The ck-robed manughed even more, "Hahaha, you''re funny! Of course, this is just one of many incarnations I had." "What kind of adult goes full force against a mere kid like you?" "You fucker..." Huo Yuhao''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch. The ck-robed man shook his head gently and said, "This incarnation is the closest to your location. My real body is still cultivating somewhere else." "I''m only here to test you on behalf of that woman, after all." "You didn''t disappoint her." "Well, you destroy my core, so I don''t have much time here..." "Can you tell me about her? How is she?" Huo Yuhao urged. The ck-robed man replied straightforwardly, "No, I can''t. You aren''t ready for that stage yet." "Don''t think shit about it, and focus on developing your new powers. They will be your key to meeting that woman again." "Fine..." Huo Yuhao sighed. He knew the Great Omniversal Order was an ultimate stage full of dangerous powerhouses. The ck-robed man looked at Huo Yuhao andmented, "Don''t look so down. What about this? I will give you some rewards. Well, some are your prey, to begin with." A few light balls appeared and floated toward Huo Yuhao. The ck-robed man''s body rapidly crumbled, "That''s all from me. Let''s see if we can meet again somewhere in the future." "Wait, what is your name?" Huo Yuhao asked while staring at the ck-robed man. The ck-robed man smiled mysteriously, "Me?" "I''m Batman!" After saying that, the ck-robed man ispletely gone from this world. Only his fakely deepened voice remained for slightly longer. "..." Huo Yuhao''s eyelids twitched this time. Fuck you, I''m asking for a name, not a title! [Ding! The system is online] [Ding! You have finished the quest: Protect the ''Sacred Timeline'' from invaders and eliminate them all] [You have faced one of Primordial Sin Lords] [You have faced one of the Greatest Stars] [You have faced the One, the Myth, the Legend] [You have faced the Batman] [You have faced the &&%#&!^@@!@] [You have defeated the Unknown Incarnation] [Calcting rewards...] [Rewarding: 3x Amethyst Upgrading Ticket, 2x Tiny World''s Seeds] "..." Huo Yuhao. Who the fuck is that guy?! Chapter 364: Mysterious Man鈥檚 Gifts

Chapter 364: Mysterious Man''s Gifts

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 386! ---360 --- Huo Yuhao floated in the sky with a helpless look. He stared at the nearly destroyed Tiny World and noticed a faint divine power recovering every damage done to it earlier. Is this the power of that ck-robed man? "What was that, Evo?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but ask. [...] [I honestly didn''t expect you to meet a being like that, Host] "What being?" [The Great Omniversal Will''s Chosen] [In short, he was one of the strongest beings in the Great Omniversal Order due to being favored by the Great Omniversal Will alone] [You have fought him, so you must have noticed you can''t gain any advantage most of the time. His very power synergizes with the Great Omniversal Order, which indicates 1st Tier Powerhouse and only those from the same grade could put a dent in his defense] "Wait, does that mean my new powers have the potential to reach 1st Tier?" Huo Yuhao''s eyes lit up. [Potentially, Yes] [Even though the incarnation has less than 0.00001% of his power, I''m surprised you can defeat that man''s incarnation] "What? Don''t tell me you didn''t have hope for me earlier?" [Well...] [I can''t lie, so yes] [The difference in strength is just too big, Host. Even though I know you can make a miracle, that so-called miracle means nothing to 1st Tier Powerhouse] [I wanted to escape with you, but I got shut down too fast before I could even use Emergency Protocol] [But looking at the good side. Your God of Fortune''s power and Bloodline has reached a new realm. As the mysterious man said, all you need to do now is perfect those new powers] "..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. After being with Evo for years, this was the only time it was so unreliable. Evo was one with Huo Yuhao, which means it could read his mind. [I can''t help it, Host] [I was nervous the whole time seeing you fight the mysterious man] [I''m far weaker than him] [Not to mention, I still have to rely on you to reach 1st Tier] Huo Yuhao sighed, "Whatever. I''m not judging you or anything. It seems you also developed more emotions after being shut down." [That I don''t know] [I don''t notice any change in my mainframe. Everything looks and feels normal. Maybe I developed more emotions on my own after fearing losing you, Host] Huo Yuhao looked down at his palm and saw a few balls of light gifted by Batman earlier. Evo scanned them for him, and the information revealed one after another. His eyes shed with disbelief. "What the..." "So, he killed the Phantom Emperor?" [Phantom Emperor''s Corpse (SSS) 1x] [Phantom Emperor''s Spiritual Core (SSS) 1x] [Phantom Emperor''s Beating Red Heart (SSS) 1x] [Unknown Dragon''s Source (Gradeless) 1x] [Astral Soul: Fate-Connecting Thread (Gradeless) 1x] [Broken Wood Fragment (Gradeless) 1x] [Woven Starry Sea Gloves (Gradeless) 1x] Huo Yuhao stared at the list of items with a stumped look. Besides the Phantom Emperor''s loot, everything else is unlike anything he had seen after getting to this world. Gradeless is definitely above EXXX Grade. It''s just that Evo couldn''t determine its value yet. Usually, it means two things. Huo Yuhao''s realm was too low, or Evo''s 3rd Grade Authority of the Great Omniversal Order wasn''t enough. Seeing the list, it is easily both. Huo Yuhao ignored the Phantom Lord''s loot and checked the mysterious man''s gifts. That man sure is generous for giving him many things to pass a test. [Name: Unknown Dragon''s Source] [Type: Source/Spirit] [Grade: Gradeless] [Innate Trait: Ancestral Dragon God] [Description: The Source of Unknown Dragon, possessing a trace of godly righteousness and evil. Fusing with this Source might bring unimaginable results!] ... [Name: Fate-Connecting Thread] [Type: Astral Soul] [Grade: Gradeless] [Innate Trait: Fate-Altering] [Description: This Astral Soul was born outside the Nine Heavenly Layers of Constetion Realm. It was part of something greater, and those with it can alter their fate permanently. Use it with caution] ... [Name: Broken Wood Fragment] [Type: Divine Weapon (Iplete)] [Grade: Gradeless] [Innate Trait: The ''Strongest'' Sword] [Description: The remaining core of Mysterious Man''s Incarnation, which contained a boundless sword intent. It has priceless value for those who walked the path of swordsmanship] ... [Name: Woven Starry Sea Gloves] [Type: Primordial Artifact] [Grade: Gradeless] [Innate Trait: Unknown (Locked)] [Ability: Star Plucking, River Stirring, Vairocana (Partially Sealed)] [Description: Gloves made with Strange Threads and Endless Mother''s love for her only son. To protect and liberate the wearer from worrisome threats] ... Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise and stared at the Woven Starry Sea Gloves with aplex emotion. The gloves are fingerless and made of unknown, silverish-blue color silk. The gloves fit perfectly on his hands, giving him a sense of coolness yet a warm sensation. Thefort wasn''t the only point of these gloves. He could feel his power increasing rmingly but also limited in some aspects. Yes, as if they are training him to use his newfound powers. Huo Yuhao sighed, "He''s right. I''m not ready for that stage yet." "Oh, well. I''d have to say thank you for giving me these gloves." "I hope we can meet again, Batman." Although the other gifts were just as precious as the Woven Starry Sea Gloves, they didn''t hold much sentimental valuepared to thetter. While wearing the gloves, Huo Yuhao could see a faint silhouette of a woman. She was someone who he held dear in his heart despite not being able to meet or recognize her appearance for years. "Yuhao-sama! Are you okay?" Rossweisse and others approached Huo Yuhao with worried looks. Huo Yuhao smiled at them, "I''m fine. Just a little bit tired." "The man earlier..." Huang Qiu''er couldn''t help but ask. Huo Yuhao nced at her and replied calmly, "He''s an acquaintance, but you''re not ready to know about him yet." ''Even I''m not ready.'' He thought to himself. "Anyway, he''s not here for harm. He only wanted to test me." "Test you, more like beating you up, Papa," Helenained because she didn''t like seeing Huo Yuhao get injured. "That guy is a baddie!" Huo Yuhao coughed wryly, "Hey, I defeated him, okay? Don''t make it like I was struggling for my life." Huo Yuhao pushed his potential to the limit earlier. He faced many life-and-death situations in that battle, but all that was worth it to awaken his new powers. But Helena made it sound like he was getting bullied. Well, he did, but wouldn''t admit it. A man must have pride. "Anyway, our mission in this timeline is practically over. The man also has killed the Phantom Emperor for us." Huo Yuhao added casually, brushing off the fact the girls stared at him with fiery curiosity. Robin, Raikou, and Kuina wanted to ask something. However, they quickly shook their heads because Huo Yuhao was right. All that matters is that their mission is ''already''pleted. They have protected this sacred timeline. "Wait, what happened to the forbidden beast?" Huo Yuhao couldn''t find the Great Fang Matter Beast anywhere. Oceana, the Spirit of Tiny World, gave him a ''Are you serious'' look and bitterly said, "You identally killed it. You might be unaware of it, but your sh with the mysterious man practically killed every living being outside Loguetown." "What?" Huo Yuhao was shocked. He''spletely focused and didn''t notice this. Oceana shook her head gently and continued, "Fortunately, a miraculous force that revived everyone back. Everything should return to normal in five minutes or so." "Next time, please fight somewhere else, Yuhao-sama." "Tiny World couldn''t handle your power..." "If this happens again, I don''t think I can handle it, physically and mentally." Oceana knew Huo Yuhao was strong. But only this time, she knew her world was narrow like a frog at the bottom of a well. "Okay..." Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding. He felt somewhat bad for messing things up. Chapter 365: Studying New Powers Chapter 365: Studying New Powers If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 386! --- Chapter 361 --- One dayter, Huo Yuhaozily leaned on a recliner in one of Loguetown''s hotels. After Toki canceled her domain, the town returned to normal, and everyone moved again. At first, Huo Yuhao wanted to enter the ''next'' timeline as he nned with others. However, they realized he was too exhausted from being tested by the mysterious man. Even though Huo Yuhao didn''t show it, his condition was horrible. All his cores depleted, leaving him with a sliver of energy to stay conscious. So, they decided to rest for a few days in this ''sacred'' timeline. Yes, to rest only. On the ''next'' timeline, Huo Yuhao still has to go on a date with thedies. Given that Huo Yuhao couldn''t do anything, he could only study his new powers.After the fight with the mysterious man, or should we call the test, Huo Yuhao developed three new powers. The first power is rted to the God of Fortune but moreprehensive. It''s not purely Luck Maniption because Huo Yuhao used True Pagma''s Forging Skills with Neb Thunderfire, Concept of Saving Money(Wealth and Power), and Heavenly Dao of Samsara and Nothingness. He forged a Violet-colored Coin, which held the power of victory. The coin can forcibly reduce the enemy''s luck and power, siphoning it to make the coin heavier by ten times each microsecond without losing its momentum. It''s simr to Albion''s Divine Divide, but not quite. Huo Yuhao created this power solely to render any concept andw useless. So, not even things like Vector Maniption nor Ability Negation could counter this coin. Simply put, it''s Irresistible Control. Huo Yuhao named this new power Victorious Lucky Coin. He can develop it more because the version he used against the mysterious man has yet to mature in concept and execution. "I can reduce the coin''s size and increase the quantity. With numbers, I can bombard enemies with Victorious Lucky Coins and render them useless." "I also can add other elements like Spiritual Power, Divinity, or ss''s Unique Energy into the coins, turning them into Unique-type Power." Of course, this is possible because Huo Yuhao possessed extreme luck, which means no one could replicate this trick. Huo Yuhao yed with a in purple coin, flipping it with his fingers and throwing it in the air. No one would think such a simple-looking coin could reduce a world to the atom with simple flicks. Well, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t do that. Abusing his luck on innocents wouldn''t end well for him. The second power is also rted to Huo Yuhao''s extreme luck. It was a power to reverse one''s luck and grant extreme unluckiness to the enemy. He used several concepts to make this power. He was in a hurry back then. All Huo Yuhao wanted was to break the mysterious man''s defense or ignore it. So, hebined the Concepts of Tear, Twist and Turn, Break and Prick, and Anomaly. The first three conceptsy the foundation for breaking one''s resistance, and thetter allowed him to solidify the ignored defense quality. All that is just the shell of Luck Reversal because Yuhao used the Concept of Reverse Spiral, Everwhite Spiral, and Luck Destruction. It allowed him to reverse cause and effect. Of course, he also added Heavenly Dao of Destiny into Luck Reversal, or else it wouldn''t be effective. With Luck Reversal, the enemy would lose the ability to control their attack and weaken rapidly. In fact, this is how Huo Yuhao resists the mysterious man''s boundless sword intent. Like Victorious Lucky Coin, Luck Reversal is "literally" overpowered, but Huo Yuhao needed preparation time to activate it. Not to mention, the extreme amount of energy to make it work is just too much. Huo Yuhao''s way to improve Luck Reversal is by lowering its energy consumption and making it a passive ability. It would be difficult but not impossible. "Luck Reversal is effective against boundless sword intent, but I felt my brain would turn mush if I used it for more than five minutes. That five minutes are more than enough to defeat a million enemies..." "However, I''ll get weakened after those five minutes. My mind will be slower." Huo Yuhao sighed in helplessness. "Thankfully, I developed myst power toplete the pieces." Huo Yuhao''sst power is called the Dominator Instinct. Strictly speaking, it wasn''t a power but more of a ''special'' state. Huo Yuhao would let his refined instinct control his body in the Dominator Instinct''s state. No, you might think this is just like Ultra Instinct. No, no, you''re gravely mistaken. There is a difference between ''pure'' instinct and refined one. A pure instinct is ''naturally'' honed through countless experiences and richbats. A refined instinct that Huo Yuhao used is ''forcibly'' made by letting his instinct run wild with all the bloodlines he had, shing them against each other no less than a billion times to achieve a form of Unrivaled Combat. The refined instinct that had tasted Huo Yuhao''s bloodline allowed it to control his body perfectly and used bloodline power in a perfect mix, including the Divine-grade ss''s power. However, the core of the Dominator Instinct is none other than Huo Yuhao''s unbreakable will. With it, even if Huo Yuhao lost his mind, he could still move his body and fight out of pure Willpower. This statested forever until Huo Yuhao recovered from his mental exhaustion. It''s a bit taxing on physical strength. Still, Huo Yuhao created a new Dragon''s bloodline and had Everblue Wave Undying Tiger. The Everblue Wave Undying Tiger''s bloodline is the Z-grade Primeval Bloodline Huo Yuhao developed in the Primeval Beast Trial. It has an ''Undying'' trait that allowed Huo Yuhao to resist and ignore conceptual attacks to a certain degree. It possesses concepts of Blue Wave and Everwhite Spiral that affect reality. But the best perk is Azure Light War Body, which enhanced Huo Yuhao''s physical strength to meet the Dominator Instinct''s requirement. Huo Yuhao could fight with the mysterious man on an even field using this new Godly Physique. Still, fighting and defeating the mysterious man is a different thing. It is where the new Dragon''s bloodlinees into clutch. Fusing Naga''s bloodline with the Dragon God''s traits via Forest God''s Mimicry Power, Huo Yuhaopletely overwrites the former and evolves it to another stage. Even though the new bloodline has no name yet, it was on the same level as or exceeded the Everblue Wave Undying Tiger. Potentially, that is. [Name: Unknown Dragon] [Type: Primeval Dragon''s Bloodline (First of the kind)] [Grade: Z] [Description: A new Dragon born from abination of Chaotic Purgatory Dragon and Dragon God''s bloodline, fusing the best traits of two dragons and casting aside the worst qualities. This Primeval Dragon was born in a tyrannical storm of all elements, including Space, Time, Creation, and Destruction] [But its ''strongest'' quality is none other than its physique, fire, and authority over the higher dimension] [It has three Divine Powers] [Primeval Dragon God Body, Abstruse Neb Thunderfire, No Creation without Destruction] The first two Divine Powers are self-exnatory. They are the upgrade of Dragon God''s Body and Neb Thunderfire, which allows Huo Yuhao to contest firepower with the mysterious man. But what the mysterious man didn''t know is that the MVP is actually the Dragon''sst Divine Power. No Creation without Destruction allowed Huo Yuhao to ''conceptually'' destroy anything created. Unfortunately, this is supplementary to Huo Yuhao''s overall power. It''s like a buff or coating on his fist. Even then, Dominator Instinct used No Creation without Destruction beyond its standard usage and could destroy the mysterious man''s incarnation. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, "If I have to name it..." "Abstruse Purgatory Dragon should be fitting." "It''s not as mouthful as the Everblue Wave Undying Tiger, but I think Naga will like it." As Huo Yuhao immersed himself in mncholy, a pair of handsnded on his stiff shoulders and massaged them. "Are you okay?" asked a familiar voice. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Mm. I''m just a bit exhausted." The owner of the voice is Eluxia. She and other contracted souls were ''naturally'' awakened when Huo Yuhao fought the mysterious man, but only she could stay awake. Even Tian Meng and Helena have fallen into a nap after that. Eluxia kept rubbing Huo Yuhao''s shoulders, "What about some service to erase your exhaustion? We haven''t done it for a while." "Don''t worry, justy down and rx. Leave everything to me~!" Her voice became coy, stirring Huo Yuhao''s heart. "Okay..." Huo Yuhao soon drowned in warmness. Yeah, this is how life should be. Chapter 366: Fully Rested Chapter 366: Fully Rested If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 386! --- Chapter 362 --- After staying in Loguetown for a few days, Huo Yuhao had enough rest and recovered his overtaxed energy. Even though his energy reserve is enormous, one can see how demanding it is to fight the mysterious man''s incarnation. Even with his Godly Inner Cores, he still needs 2-3 days to recover. However, this alsoes with benefits. Huo Yuhao''s divinities and mental power have reached unbelievable heights. His divine energy (Immortal Qi) also experienced qualitative changes, breaking Douluo Dalu''s God of Realm''s standards. When Huo Yuhao returned to the Douluo Dalu and merged into his original body, he''d receive all this condensed energy and experience, pushing him to the Godking Realm or beyond. If Huo Yuhao used the Great Omniversal Order''s standard, he''d be the 5th Tier Expert. Yes, one of the strongest ones at that. Of course, that''s forter. Huo Yuhao still has to fetch Liu Mei and Valerie while letting Robin meet her crewmates.Huo Yuhao is sitting on the roof of his hotel, looking down at the people in Loguetown''s streets. After Roger''s execution, many new people arrived at Loguetown, boasting themselves as pirates and wanting to get One Piece. Thankfully, there is a Marine Post here. So, they caught some frauds who only dared to speak big yet had no real power. Some people did possess strong powers, but they ran when they realized Loguetown was in a high-alert state. Only those from Roger''s era could stay in Loguetown without fearing the Marines. "Yuhao-sama, we are back~!" A collective sweet and pleasant voice appeared from behind. Huo Yuhao nced back, seeing. Huang Qiu''er and others return in their white robes. They walked around Loguetown for thest few days to buy rare food ingredients. After they leave, they might not be able to get those rare fish and herbs. The Tiny World is ever-changing. Even Oceana could only watch and slightly influence its growth. Well, Huo Yuhao obtained two Tiny Worlds seeds. The seeds will sprout as long as Huo Yuhao nurtures them with his Divine Energy and grows into a new Tiny World. But Huo Yuhao didn''t n to grow a new Tiny World. The amount of divine energy needed is too much, even for him. With this clone''s energy reserve, growing one alone will be a hassle. That''s why a Tiny World is rare in the first ce. The chance of one appearing is very small. ''Though I assume those Higher Omniversal Beings could easily make one from thin air.'' Huo Yuhao had observed the miraculous white light the mysterious man left behind to recover the damage done to the Tiny World. It was just a flicker of a ''greater'' thing that could unleash such a mighty effect. Above all else, it was ''actually'' performed by the incarnation! Huo Yuhao couldn''t imagine what the ''real'' one could do. "Toki, how is your situation?" Huo Yuhao asked the green-haired woman nearby. She had been hiding behind Rossweisse ever since that day. Toki flushed and replied, "I''m fine, Yuhao-sama. My injuries are lighterpared to you." "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrow. At first, he thought maintaining her domain while he fought the mysterious man would exhaust her, but it looks like everything is okay. Honestly, Toki''s ability to freeze a moment is a bit overpowered. The only downside is that she doesn''t have enough energy to use it. Her cultivation base is a bit too low. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, Toki''s flushed appearance has nothing to do with injury or exhaustion. She only felt ashamed that she couldn''t meet Huo Yuhao sooner and reached a higher cultivation realm. With Toki''s measly Spirit Grandmaster Cultivation, she could barely help Huo Yuhao in the previous event. She was just a sitting duck. Huo Yuhao sensed Toki''s uneasiness with the God of Lust''s power. Still, he wrongly read her problem. After all, the God of Lust''s divinity is one of many things Huo Yuhao rarely touches. Even if he did, it was when he did intimate things with his women. Actually, it''s not just Toki. The otherdies felt helpless when they saw Huo Yuhao fight the mysterious man. They wished they could help him, even a little bit. So, they are motivated to cultivate and grow stronger. Deep inside their heart is a burning fire, a desire to support Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao saw their burning desires and shook his head gently, "Let''s have lunch first. After that, we can move to the next timeline." "Yes!" Thedies nodded, agreeing with Huo Yuhao. They had nothing to do with this timeline anymore. The sacred timeline would develop as it should. There might be some changes. Nevertheless, Huo Yuhao believed the changes were minimal in the future. They sat on the pic mat as everyoneid down the food. Huo Yuhao ate with gusto, and thedies hand-fed him at every chance, from roasted meat to all kinds of seafood. In fact, they had a shortpetition for who could feed Huo Yuhao the most. What can Huo Yuhao say? He''s a lucky man. After filling their stomachs, Huo Yuhao told Evo to initiate time travel and created a cover to surround them. Soon, they vanished from the rooftop and left the sacred timeline. ... ... Far, far away from the Tiny World. Azy yet handsome-looking man is lying on a cold star. "Your son is interesting, demoness." said the man with a faint smile. If Huo Yuhao were here, he would have recognized thiszy, handsome man as the mysterious man who tested him. A.K.A., the Batman. On the opposite side, an enchanting goddess in a white robe is hovering motionlessly. Beneath her are white-red spiderwebs, spreading beyond infinity and connected to all kinds of worlds. Hearing the handsome man''sment, the goddess couldn''t help but roll her eyes. "Of course, my son is a unique existence..." She replied with pride in her charming voice. "He''s just like you when you were young." The handsome man''s crimson eyes shed with interest, "Just you know, even though he and Ie from the same origin world, it doesn''t mean he was unique." "Our starting point is different." "Not to mention, that luck of his is too blinding." "You don''t pull any hidden strings of yours, right? The Blue Bird will get angry, you know?" The goddess snorted, "What do you know? Like I said, my son is unique." "That luck he had is always part of him." "Oh?" The handsome man couldn''t help but raise his eyebrow. "So, it was inborn?" The goddess nodded, "Yes. Unfortunately, it was corrupted and became a cmity in his first life. If my seal didn''t protect his soul, he can''t reincarnate and stay in the god-forsaken world forever." "I see... No wonder I felt something weird about his luck. It has a faint taste of cmity." The ''Batman''mented. "But isn''t your backup for him a bit too shabby?" "His system would restrict him from entering 3rd Tier at this point." "With his new powers, his strength will grow beyond his system soon." The goddess smiled, "That''s what I''m aiming for. The Great Omniversal Order is dangerous. It''s way too dangerous for him, who possesses immense luck." "However, with a subpar system, luck will slowly grow under everyone''s nose and only be noticeable to a few people like you and me." "And blue bird?" "Tsk, she doesn''t count!" "Anyway, that system is actually part of an inheritance. Once the Great Stars align, my son will im it and be the Boundless Emperor." "Boundless Emperor..." The handsome man''s eyes widened in disbelief. He realized what this demoness was nning for her dearest son. "Holy Shit, Woman! You''re Crazy!" The ''Demoness'' Goddess chuckled, "For my son, I''m willing to do anything." "But I can''t let him be too soft of a man. The inheritance will be another test for him." "Hehe..." Her sweet voice sent a shiver down the handsome man''s spine. ''Poor guy. Your mother is fucking crazy!'' The handsome man shook his head bitterly, praying for Huo Yuhao''s safety. ''Well, with his growth speed, those old fools wouldn''t pose a problem.'' The handsome man stood up, "I think that''s it for now. I''ve paid back the favor you did to me years ago." The goddess let out a sigh, "Mm, thank you. Only you could help me with all these eyes watching me." "I know. Goodbye, demoness!" After saying that, the handsome man vanished into thin air. She could see a tinum dragon swimming in infinite dimensions for a split second. "As expected of him, the number one Swordman in Omniversal Order..." "Haa, I miss my son so much..." The goddess closed her eyes, lying on the spiderwebs silently. "The Skyfall will happen soon." "When the timees, I hope you have inherited that power... Putra." Chapter 367: Fifth Timeline: Sabaody Archipelago Arc Chapter 367: Fifth Timeline: Sabaody Archipgo Arc If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 386! --- Chapter 363 --- A ck portal appeared above an ind, spewing some people off. Unlike the previous time jumps, no one crashed and got their mouth filled with water or sand. "Phew, we are finally here," said Kuina, whonded on her feet perfectly. The swordswoman has a satisfied look on her face. Rossweisse looked around and clenched her hand gently, "So, this is how time travel felt. The river of space and time is actually not as threatening as I thought." "No, this is probably because of Yuhao-sama''s interference."Huo Yuhao smiled faintly at Rossweisse''s conjecture. Even though he can time-travel and bring others with him because he has ample mastery in space-timews, the one getting them to this timeline is Evo. After all, Evo''s space-time precision is better than Huo Yuhao''s. At least, the current Huo Yuhao wouldn''t dare to bring anyone other than himself when time-traveling. Rossweisse breathed in and added, "I get a gist of how to improve my Concept of Magic." "Good for you." Huo Yuhao responded with a nod. "What about others? Do you feel weird whennding on this timeline?" Huang Qiu''er shook her head gently, "Negative, Master." "Me too." Robin leaned on a tree, feeling the sea breeze on her skin. "Me three!" Raikou raised her hand yfully. Seeing their healthy look, Huo Yuhao nced at thestdy and saw her closing her eyes. "Toki?" He called her out. "Ah, yeah!" Toki snapped from her daze. "I''m fine, Yuhao-sama." "Though my Martial Soul is gaining time essence from this time travel. I need to adjust my perception slightly." "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao knew Toki''s Martial Soul was unique. So, this time travel stuff is beneficial for her growth. He guessed Toki''s cultivation base wouldn''t increase from time travel. The Worldfall Monolith Time Clock could get more powerful, though. Of course, a time-attributed Martial Soul could grow stronger only in this particr situation. Maybe Huo Yuhao should build different kinds of dungeons to support Martial Soul''s growth. With Advalon''s ability to keep evolving, it shouldn''t be too hard for Huo Yuhao to divide some areas and turn them into attribute-specific training grounds. Huo Yuhao had this idea for a long time but was toozy to make it happen because Advalon was already as good as it was. Rossweisse seemed to see through Huo Yuhao''s thought and added calmly, "Yuhao-sama, while making different ces for different Spirit Masters is a good consideration, you shouldn''t forget aboutprehension." "Not everyone couldprehend concepts and improve their cultivation base simultaneously." "Even if we used Devil Fruits, the amount is limited..." "You''re not wrong." Huo Yuhao took Rossweisse''s words seriously. But he also has his own trump cards, Tiny World''s seeds, and other universes he had conquered. Who said he couldn''t grow his own Devil Fruits? Yes, it was difficult, but not impossible. Well, Huo Yuhao wouldn''t do it for now. ''Evo, where are we?'' [You''re currently on the Fifth Timeline: Sabaody Archipgo Arc!] "Oh?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrow. His lips curled into a small smile. "What''s the matter, Yuhao-sama?" Robin felt Huo Yuhao''s gaze toward her was a little yful. Huo Yuhao raised his finger and pointed randomly at the sea, "Spread your divine sense in that direction." "You will find your answer." Robin looked in that ''particr'' direction and gradually became dazed momentarily because she recognized that ce. A lone stone pir that pierced the white clouds stood, surrounded by a lush forest. The forest has countless trees, thicker and taller than a small mountain. Even though the surrounding area looked like they were in eternal winter, it gave off a sunny and warm look. This ce is untouched by the outside world, having the essence of true serenity. "Ara, that ce is Tequ Wolf?" Raikou also recognized the ce as she helped Huo Yuhao rescue Robin back then. Robin''s eyes widened, and she smiled in excitement, "Yes, it''s Tequ Wolf." "No, it has a different name now." "It''s called Pir City... Hidden in the Lush Forest, Elwood." "Elwood." Kuina''s eyes lit up as her divine sense reached Elwood. "Such a big and amazing city." "I wonder who made it." "Pfft." Robin and Raikou couldn''t help but chuckle. "Why did you twough? Did I say something funny?" Kuina tilted her head in confusion. She believed they were teasing her. Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "I was the one who made Elwood." "What?!" Kuina and the otherdies were shocked. Huo Yuhao coughed awkwardly, "At the time, I was saving Robin from the Marine''s attack. I got a little excited and dered war against every hostile faction." "I built this city out of impulse. Don''t just look at the appearance. I have added several Primordial Runes to protect, so those with ill intentions and dark nature would never get in." "Wow!" Rossweisse pped her hand in amazement. She has never heard about such runes before. Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly, "It was two years ago. Elwood has be a trading ce for honest people. Even those who didn''t like to get oppressed have banded together and lived in the city." "It has another name besides the one Robin said. People called Elwood the City of Peace." "Not even Celestial Dragons and Imu could dream of getting in." "So, Master, you''re identally sowing good karma by protecting people in this world." Huang Qiu''er said with aplicated look. "Yeah." Huo Yuhao could onlyugh at this situation. "Anyway, should we visit Elwood or Sabaody Archipgo first?" Huo Yuhao asked Robin. "Or should we split up?" Robin pondered briefly before saying, "I think we should split up, Yuhao-sama. It''s been two years, so my crew should have been waiting for me." "Those who don''t want to follow me can go to Elwood." "Okay, that would do." Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding. "Who wants to go with Robin?" "Me!" Raikou and Kuina raised their hands. "You want to meet Zoro, aren''t you?" Huo Yuhao gave Kuina a knowing look. Kuina smiled and waved her sheathed katana, "I just want to see how much he improved." "Don''t bully him, okay? Qiu''er has been beating him to a pulp back then." ''Hmm, me?'' Surprisingly enough, Huang Qiu''er didn''t remember much about Zoro because he wasn''t memorable to her. She casually bullied Zoro and tossed him aside for disturbing her time with Huo Yuhao. Heck! Huang Qiu''er couldn''t even remember Zoro''s face. Hearing Huo Yuhao''s worry, Kuina stuck out her tongue and replied wickedly, "Hehe, don''t worry. Zoro and I are friends, so I know when to hold back." Huo Yuhao nced at the otherdies, "So, Rossweisse, Qiu''er, and Toki will follow me to Elwood." "Mm." Rossweisse and others nodded. Raikou narrowed her eyes, "You don''te with us to the Sabaody Archipgo, Honey?" Huo Yuhao replied calmly, "I will find you at the Sabaody Archipgoter. Right now, I''d like to see Elwood''s progress first." "Well, that''s good enough." Robin didn''t find Huo Yuhao''s decision weird because Elwood might hold some surprising stuff. "Then, we are going, Yuhao-sama." After saying that, Robin suddenly kissed Huo Yuhao''s cheeks and winked at thedies. Then, she flew to the horizon. "Ah, that''s unfair!" Raikou and Kuina shouted at the shameless flowerdy, who had run away with a flushed face. Raikou and Kuina took their sweet chances, kissing Huo Yuhao''s cheeks on each side. After that, they chased after Robin. [Title: Lucky Bastard is Activated] ''Hey, I''m lucky, but no bastard.'' Huo Yuhao couldn''t help butin at the Title Notification. Even then, his heart felt warm due to the threedies. Of course, their acts caused Huang Qiu''er, Rossweisse, and Toki to frown slightly. Not wanting to ruin their moods, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, "We can have a date at the Elwood. Don''t mind them." Hearing Huo Yuhao mention the promised date now, thedies'' eyes lit up like fireworks. "Yes~!" They excitedly said. Chapter 368: The Safest City of All Four Seas, Elwood!

Chapter 368: The Safest City of All Four Seas, Elwood!

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 387! ---364 --- Huo Yuhao and others broke the sound barrier, flying toward Elwood with a sonic boom on their trails. They could have teleported there instantly, but Rossweisse said she needed to observe nature more. When Huang Qiu''er asked why Rossweisse preferred such a meddlesome method of traveling, thetter smiled and said, "In a world like this, nature is the best teacher." After all, Rossweisse''s vision is ahead of Huang Qiu''er, which caused the Dragon Goddess to nod helplessly. Of course, as the Goddess of Magic, Rossweisse must observe the world from many different perspectives. On their way to Elwood, they met with some third-rate pirates, and Toki fought them briefly to test her new ability. She didn''t stay idle while Huo Yuhao was resting and reached level 44, Spirit Ancestor, with two ck, one ck-red, and one red spirit ring. On Douluo Continent, Toki''s ring configuration is heaven-defying, but they would only score 69/100 in Dragon Nest. Even then, her progress is fast for someone who just awakened her Martial Soul for less than a week. After Toki fought these third-rate pirates, Huo Yuhao found and harvested two Devil Fruits. One is Paramecia, and the other is Zoan. Let''s say Huo Yuhao was lucky. "Hmm, not bad for third-rate pirates," Rossweissemented while looking at the Devil Fruits in Toki''s hands. "Are you praising the pirates or Devil Fruits?" Tokiughed weakly. Rossweisse said decisively, "Of course, the Devil Fruits. Those third-rate pirates don''t even know Haki." "Paramecia: Arrow-Arrow Fruit. It allowed its eater to gain the property of an arrow, which was flexible, light, reinforced, and highly prative. This fruit has potential." "If one developed its concept, this ordinary fruit could defeat most Logia and Mythical Zoan." "On the other hand, this Zoan is a bit worse. Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Fruit Bat." Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrow when staring at the Bat-Bat Fruit. Even though Fruit Bat has no noticeable qualities initially, he still thinks this little fellow holds tremendous potential. Not to mention, Huo Yuhao has a Timeless Order, which could purify the concepts within Devil Fruits and strengthen them. Seeing Huo Yuhao throwing Devil Fruits into the Timeless Order, Toki and Rossweisse couldn''t help but raise their eyebrows. Huo Yuhao chuckled and let Rossweisse have Timeless Order because he knew she was curious. Who knows? She might be able toprehend theplex paradox of the universe. Huang Qiu''er has watched Huo Yuhao purify Devil Fruits many times, and she even tried doing it a few times under his watch, which makes her uninterested in the Timeless Order. It''s just a tool. Huang Qiu''er prefers thebat technique revolving around the long spear or frying pan. "Well, let''s continue." Huo Yuhao said, which gained a nod from thedies. They flew away with a sonic boom again, leaving a shipwreck in the calm ocean. After flying for five minutes, they arrived at Elwood andnded on the top of Yeoui''s copy. "Huh, this thing?" Huang Qiu''er looked down weirdly at the gigantic, stone-like staff. Rossweisse also noticed Yeoui''s uniqueness, "If I''m not wrong, Yuhao-sama also gave Ophis this Bo Staff, right?" Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes. It''s ''actually'' originated from another world, a staff made from Hip Bones of the Strongest Dragon there. Calling it a Divine Weapon won''t be a stretch." "It has many abilities from Weight Alteration to Size Alteration." "But Yeoui''s one of the most valuable abilities is to clone itself. The one Ophis had, and this one is a direct clone of the real one I had in my weapon vault." "It has every ability of the real one, minus the Dragon Spirit." Huo Yuhao nced at Huang Qiu''er, "Qiu''er, you should be able to sense rich Dragon Aura from this pir, no?" "Mm, it''s as powerful as my Yellow Dragon''s initial aura. If one stayed long enough, they mightprehend some strange concepts." Huang Qiu''er could feel a rich draconic origin from Yeoui. Heck! Just living near the Yeoui alone would improve one''s physique and cultivation. It is more so for those with Zoan Fruit Eaters and wild beasts because the Dragon Aura would allow their powers to mature. This ce is simply paradise for those who want to grow stronger. "Hey, who are you? Who let you climb the Sacred Pir?!" Someone shouted at Huo Yuhao and thedies. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a three-meter-tall red-crowned crane ring at him with a deep frown. At first nce, he could tell this crane was a Zoan Fruit Eater. "What''s wrong with me standing here?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile. The red-crowned crane''s face ckened, "Sacred Pir is the holy ground of Elwood. Those who enter 50 meters radius of it will get executed!" "Oh, so you want to fight?" Huang Qiu''er strode forward when this little crane said that. The red-crowned crane felt an immense draconic aura from Huang Qiu''er and shuddered, "I-I..." "I didn''t dare..." "If I may ask, who are you?" "It''s not something you can know!" Huang Qiu''er crossed her arms. She was this close to pull her frying pan and beat this crane up. Huo Yuhao helplessly chuckled, "Okay, stop it, Qiu''er. Don''t bully the poor crane." "I have a question." "Who was the owner of Elwood?" The red-crowned crane scratched his head and replied, "Elwood is ownerless." "But if you''re talking about ''major'' forces, Elwood is currently under the jurisdiction of four factions. The Revolutionary Army, Neo Marine, the Mink Tribe, and Unrivaled Weapon Alliance." "I know the Revolutionary Army, Neo Marine, and the Mink Tribe, but what is this Unrivaled Weapon Alliance?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head in confusion because there was no such thing in One Piece World. "This..." The red-crowned crane doesn''t know how to exin the Unrivaled Weapon Alliance without making a fuss. "Unrivaled Weapon Alliance is a group of pirates led by the current Greatest Swordsman, Dracule Mihawk. They only appeared after the Mysterious Jack Sparrow dered war against the Celestial Dragons and others." "In fact, Unrivaled Weapon Alliance only appeared two years ago and had been guarding Elwood ever since. Well, it''s not like Elwood needs protection because anyone who had Ill intentions toward Elwood will get rejected from entry." Huo Yuhao covered his face in embarrassment. After all, Jack Sparrow is none other than himself! However, knowing Dracule Mihawk stayed at Elwood was surprising news to him. Isn''t this guy used to be one of the Warlords(Shichibukai)? No, Shichibuka was ''naturally'' disbanded after the Marineford War. So, Mihawk, who doesn''t like to gain the attention of others, would settle in a peaceful ce. Since there aren''t many peaceful and safe ces in all four seas, choosing Elwood was wise. But to think Mihawk would develop his own force here. "Dracule Mihawk... DM." Toki mumbled solemnly. "No, that shouldn''t be possible. He should have died when Imu ambushed us that day." "But if Shank could reincarnate, Mihawk should be able to do the same." "It''s just the method is different." "Do you know Mihawk, Toki?" Huo Yuhao was surprised. Toki put on aplicated expression, "If my intuition is urate, Mihawk should be one of us. Still, unlike Shank, his life-preserving method is a bit unorthodox." "Is that so?" Huo Yuhao found this plot rather interesting. At first, Toki said there were only two survivors of Imu''s ambush. Yet another one appeared under their nose. On top of that, they couldn''t lower their vignce because Mihawk might be Imu''s partner now. Of course, Huo Yuhao doubts that because Mihawk in the One Piece Story is ''literally'' portrayed as a man of honor with deep seriousness. "You, go and call Mihawk." Toki suddenly ordered while pointing at the crane. "Eh, me?" The crane pointed at himself. "Who else? You''re the only one who knows Elwood more than us." "There is no need." Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "He''s here. The aura Qiu''er released earlier should alert him and others." After saying that, four shadows appeared around the Yeoui. One is a tall, lean man with a stylish yet short mustache and beard. He wore an unbuttoned, long-tailed ck coat, a red long-sleeved shirt, pale white pants, and strapped brown boots. On his back is a massive cross-like ck sword. This man is Dracule Mihawk, the Strongest Swordsman in One Piece World. Chapter 369: A Short Dual, One Saber to Bring a Harsh Winter... Chapter 369: A Short Dual, One Saber to Bring a Harsh Winter... If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 388! --- Chapter 365 --- Besides Dracule Mihawk, Huo Yuhao also saw three other extraordinary presences. Even though their strength is not at the level of Mihawk, they have the potential and aura to rival him. The first person is arge, muscr, tan-skinned man, standing around twice the height of a typical man with short purple hair and a pitch-ck prosthetic arm. He dressed in a Marine-like coat, baggy trousers tucked into his boots, and a pair of triangr sunsses. The second person is the somewhat curly, blond-haired man. He looks thin but possesses this fiery aura around him, especially with a scar near his left eye. He wore a ck shirt with an unbuttoned upper part and fitted gray pants. He also carried a white metal pipe. Thest person is a bunny girl or a Mink Tribe member. She is a white-furred, blonde-haired rabbit mink with brown eyes, rabbit ears, a rabbit-like nose, and a round, fluffy tail, but with a body otherwise simr to that of a human adolescent girl. She wore a bright green dress and carried aically big carrot. Seeing this impressive lineup, Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but smile. He recognized these people.The tall, muscr man with a prosthetic arm is ck Arm, Zephyr. The young man with a steel pipe is Luffy''s brother, Sabo. And the Mink Bunny Girl is Carrot. As Huo Yuhao checked them out silently, the four also observed him with a solemn look. Mihwak could sense a terrifying sword intent and Haki from Huo Yuhao''s body, and one wrong move could cleave Elwood apart. Zephyr felt Huo Yuhao was a monster in human shape. Sabo has eaten me-me Fruit to honor his brother''s death and feels immense heat inside Huo Yuhao''s body. As for Carrot, her eyes lit up in disbelief. She usually referred to humans as ''lesser mink'' because they didn''t possess fur like mink, but she felt inferior looking at Huo Yuhao instead. Her beastly instinct also told her to grovel before Huo Yuhao. Unknown to the Mihawk and others, Huo Yuhao allowed them to sense these qualities as he would always appear like a mortal if he wanted to. "So, I assume you guys represent major forces in Elwood?" Huo Yuhao broke the awkward atmosphere with a yful tone. "Hmm, two of you are passable forces." "One has yet to awaken his power." "And thest is, how to put it, wild?" "You''re... Jack Sparrow, am I right?" Mihawk said calmly after some time, stunning everyone. "He is..." The red-crowned crane''s eyes widened in shock. Shit! No wonder he found this blue-haired young man familiar. Beneath the Sacred Pir is a statue of a handsome young man. People say he was the mysterious Jack Sparrow, the Liberator of Tequ Wolf, and the Creator of Elwood. Huo Yuhao shrugged, "That''s just a fake name to throw people off, but yeah." "I am Jack Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow." His mysterious voice brushed everyone''s ears. If Tian Meng isn''t asleep, she will insult Huo Yuhao for being too mysterious. Yes, Huo Yuhao''s appearance didn''t change much after leaving One Piece after hisst visit. Of course, he also became more handsome after two years. Huo Yuhao wasn''t surprised if some people could recognize him in this timeline. Well, he was a bit arrogant at the time. Then, Everlith Universe''s Emergency Quest happened. The event has humbled Huo Yuhao ever since. "Good, I''ve been wanting to test something." Mihawk nodded and drew his infamous Yoru. The western-looking, cross-like ck sword gleamed with faint light. "Hmm?" Huo Yuhao gave him a weird look. "You want to fight me?" Mihawk entered a stance and replied, "The energy you left behind after killing Admiral Kizaru still lingering in the sea. I have sensed incredible sharpness from it and wanted to test my limits." "People called me the Strongest Swordsman in this world." "But such a title only makes me lonely. There are very few people who could exchange swords with me." "Yes, I wish to challenge you to duel." ''Damn, this dialog... I''m sure this world is not Yu-Gi-Oh!'' Huo Yuhao''s mouth twitched. ''Thankfully, the one you wield is a sword and not a duel disk.'' ''Or else I have to use my Cyber Deck.'' Of course, only Huo Yuhao has such humorous thoughts. He didn''t take this situation seriously at all. Meanwhile, everyone watched this exchange with weird expressions on their faces. Toki observed how Mihawk acted and couldn''t help but facepalm because this guy''s nature never changed. Even though Mihawk has reincarnated somehow, it seems it was wed. After all, Mihawk doesn''t seem to remember his past life. He''s just like Shank. But Shank would eventually remember. ''Wait, don''t tell me this crazy guy used ''that'' method.'' Toki facepalmed with her other hand, feeling like she was going crazy. The Great Toki Family possessed many forbidden life-saving techniques, and most of them rted to possession or reincarnation techniques. Even though Toki didn''t know which one exactly Mihawk used, she could make a bold and urate guess of what it was. Blood-Drinking Seal. The Blood-Drinking Seal is a forbidden life-saving technique of the Great Tan Family. It allowed someone to condense all their blood into a seal, which recorded all their gic information and talent. After that, one may graft the seal into a newborn and experience rebirth with ''stronger'' talent, whether physique orprehension. The problem is that the Blood-Drinking Seal is unstable. Not to mention, one must go through several steps before seeding in this technique. Memory loss. Losing desires and emotions. And several other problems. It''s basically a gamble. No wonder Toki couldn''t sense Mihawk''s fate for so long and only noticed it now. Thetter''s fate is ''simply'' sealed. Although Toki didn''t have the solution for the Blood-Drinking Seal, she knew someone who had it. ''Blood-Drinking Seal... Mihawk''s situation doesn''t look good, but Yuhao-sama should have something to help.'' Huo Yuhao was amused. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, scanning Mihawk from top to bottom. "We can spar, but I don''t think that''s what you want..." "You wanted to taste life and death through sword sh." "Yes." Mihawk acknowledged his sole desire. Huo Yuhao gave Rossweisse a signal, and she nodded. The area around them warped, and the scenery flipped from left to right like a mirror. Yes, this is the mirror dimension. They could fight to their heart''s content here. Well, it''s more like a test. Huo Yuhao nced at three others and asked, "Do you guys want to fight, too? I won''t kill you, but you will shed some blood." "No, chu!" Carrot immediately gave up. To her, Huo Yuhao was scarier than anything she had fought before. He said he wouldn''t kill them, but Carrot can''t believe him. The same goes for Zephyr and Sabo. They broke into cold sweats as they didn''t want to provoke this monster. Even Admiral Kizaru, with his Blink-Blink Fruit, was killed by Huo Yuhao instantly two years ago, and that''s just the tip of the iceberg. Zephyr, as the former Marine, knew just how powerful Kizaru was. As for Sabo, he doesn''t have the confidence to fight Huo Yuhao with his newly eaten me-me Fruit. "What is this?" Mihawk looked around solemnly. Huo Yuhao yawned, "Just a trick to prevent us from ruining the scenery, though I doubt you can destroy Yeoui." "Yeoui?" "The name of this pir." "Hmm, I see..." Mihawk was distracted for a second. However, he quickly focused his attention on Huo Yuhao and readied Yoru. A ck aura slowly seeped from his body and merged with the famous sword''s de, giving it a slight redness. Yet this redness made the weapon look fearsome. Wind rippled around Mihawk''s body, and if one saw it clearly, the ripples were ''actually'' created by invisible sharpness. ''What a momentum.'' Everyone thought simultaneously. Even Huang Qiu''er couldn''t help but praise Mihawk inwardly. Kuina''s achievement in swordsmanship is still lower than Mihawk''s. After all, Kuina''s ascension didn''t purely rely on swordsmanship. Under everyone''s gaze, Huo Yuhao also pulled a weapon. It was a saber over one meter long with a jet-ck body with cracks all over and looked like starry skies. It''s Star Quaking Saber, otherwise known as Ste. Huo Yuhao made this saber when fighting in the Great War back at Draconic Deus and dominated everyone with it in his hand. Years have passed since then, and today, the glorious saber sees the light of the day. Shing~! The ck saber hummed in Huo Yuhao''s hand, releasing a joyous atmosphere. Huo Yuhao patted the saber gently, "I''m sorry. I haven''t been using you all this time. But don''t worry, everyone will witness your might from now on." "Good sword." Mihawk praised calmly. Huo Yuhao smiled, "She is." "Mine is Yoru." Mihawk pointed his sword at Huo Yuhao. "Ste." Huo Yuhao replied with the same wavelength. After saying that, the atmosphere immediately turned into utter silence It was nerve-wracking. The observers frowned because the atmosphere exceeded their expectations, and the red-crowned crane had time to breathe. In fact, the red-crowned crane turned into a skinny human after a few seconds and fainted on the spot. Mihwak''s body trembled as he witnessed something unbelievable with his Observation Haki. Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead because he just experienced a thousand deaths in a second. No matter what move he made, he''d die by one sh. It was a terrifying sh, and each time carried a different intent. Mihawk felt his senses overwhelmed by the tyranny of four seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. He got swallowed in their wonders. "This is it..." Mihwak''s eyes lit up in determination. "This is what I''ve been searching for." "Dracule Night Sword Method..." "Equinox!" Mihawk gritted his teeth and performed a rising sh, which seemed like dragging a curtain of darkness toward Huo Yuhao. A terrifying sharpness exploded at once, enveloping all surfaces of Yeoui and everything within a 300-meter radius. This one sh is Mihwak''s everything. Huo Yuhao watched the curtain of darkness emotionlessly, "Four Season Saber Technique - Winter Season: Ruthless Snow and Ice." BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! A freezing wave exploded and swept the area, clearing all the darkness and the clouds. However, there is no sunlight and only ruthless coldness in the form of terrifying snow-ice hail. It was a hellish winter. Chill tore everything apart, leaving falling white snowkes. Crack! Kacha! Thud! Mihawk''s sword, Yoru, shattered into pieces. And Mihawk himself kneeled on the ground with several shallow cuts all over his body. Yes, he wasn''t fatally injured. "You''re right... It was a bit lonely." Huo Yuhao said while making a sheath for Ste, putting the saber in slowly. Kacha! The mirror dimension also shattered, revealing a calm atmosphere. However, everyone''s heart is far from calm. All this made everyone feel the winter was an illusion, but they knew it was as ''real'' as harsh winter. They stared at the pitiful-looking Mihawk, who kneeled with a dull look on his bloodied face. The Strongest Swordsman in the World was Defeated! Chapter 370: Setting Up A Dragon Nests Branch Chapter 370: Setting Up A Dragon Nest''s Branch If you are interested to read advanced chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 389! --- Chapter 366 --- Huo Yuhao sighed, "Too rusty." When everyone heard Huo Yuhao''s sighing words, they thought he wasmenting on Mihawk''s performance. However, the terrible truth was Huo Yuhao found himself unable to understand the essence of the Four Season Saber Technique anymore. It''s probably because Huo Yuhao hasn''t used it for the past couple of years. Or maybe because he hasprehended much more profound concepts andws in his life, making his achievements in the past lookckluster. There is more to Four Seasons than he formerly thought. So, the Four Seasons Saber Technique isn''t just shy sh movements but the very manifestation of those concepts. Huo Yuhao pondered deeply, entering extreme focus before sighing again because he shouldn''t rush things up. He should do everything, whether killing or training, in moderation. Staring at the kneeling Mihawk, Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and sent out a holy light to heal him. This abilityes from Genesis Seraph Race, which allowed him to wield all light and sacred-rted powers.Of course, Huo Yuhao didn''t do this to heal Mihawk only. Genesis Seraph possessed a strong purification power, which allowed Mihawk, who had gone through iplete rebirth, to beplete again. Everyone watched Huo Yuhao throwing a golden-white light at Mihawk and noticed thetter was recovering at a breakneck speed. All the cuts on his body vanished almost instantly. Yes, Huo Yuhao was fixing Mihawk''s Blood-Drinking Seal. Mihawk''s body trembled as his dull eyes slowly gained their rity. The impurities in Mihawk''s body and soul burned to ashes by the sacred light, and several new memories shed in his mind. After a while, Mihawk finally regained memory of his past life and stared at the fragments of Yoru on the ground with aplicated face. This sword has been his partner for years. However, its defeat is still within an honor. The saber sh is too powerful. It was pure might in strength and concept. Mihawk sighed inwardly, ''Even with myplete memory, I don''t think I could contest against him.'' Huo Yuhao scratched his neck awkwardly, "If you want, I can reforge your sword. I didn''t mean to destroy it in the first ce." "I failed to control my power earlier." "..." Everyone. What the hell? So, you''re holding back earlier? They couldn''t help but doubt Huo Yuhao. However, they quickly realized this blue-haired young man could kill the Mihawk if he wanted to. "It''s been a while, Dracule..." said someone. Mihawk frowned and nced at Toki, opening his mouth in surprise. "It''s you..." "But you should have..." "Died? Yes, I know." Toki replied with a nod. "However, if you can escape death, I can too." "Our method is different." "Yuhao-sama, thank you for saving this fool." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "I was simply testing him." Mihawk''s mouth twitched slightly. He used all his might, but Huo Yuhao actually only tested him. His pride as the former Strongest Swordsman started to get hurt. Even then, Mihawk still knows how to be grateful. "Thank you." He bowed to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded, "So, do you want your sword to get reforged? Not many people could afford my favor." "That''s true. You better take this chance, Dracule." Toki warned her old friend. "Yuhao-sama is a Divine cksmith." Mihwak''s eyes widened in awe. Divine cksmith is not something he could scoff at. Heck! Even the Three Kings of Ostera Race must show respect toward Divine cksmith. Making such a person an enemy is definitely not wise. At the same time, Mihawk felt excited. If Yoru could get reforged, it would experience qualitative change and might be a Divine Weapon. "Then, please take care of Yoru." He gave Huo Yuhao a convinced look. Huo Yuhao nodded and took all of Yoru''s remains with his mental power before throwing them into his Azure Emperor''s Vault. Even though he said he''d reforge this sword, the one doing it was Palu. And the slime is more than excited to be given a task from Huo Yuhao. Still, Huo Yuhao warned Palu not to go all out. Although Mihawk''s value is high, he doesn''t deserve a Divine Weapon yet. At most, Huo Yuhao would return Yoru as a Saint-level Weapon or Quasi-Divine Weapon. "Well..." Huo Yuhao turned around, staring at Zephyr and two other representatives of Elwood''s forces. "From now on, I will take over Elwood. It''s mine to begin with." "But I have an offer for you guys..." "You either get out of Elwood within 24 hours or join my force." "Your force?" Zephyr and others couldn''t help but frown. Huo Yuhao raised his finger, "My force is called Dragon Nest, and we are not from this world. By giving you this offer, you will have a chance to see a higher world." "You might think this world is all you got, but there are infinitely more worlds out there waiting to get explored." "What is your answer?" "Can we think about it first?" Zephyr returned calmly. This offer is overwhelming him. "Me too..." Sabo couldn''t choose the Revolutionary Army. After all, he wasn''t the leader. Meanwhile, Carrot immediately raised her hand high. "I want to join, chu!" "Where can I sign up?" "What about you, Mihawk?" Huo Yuhao asked the former Strongest Swordsman. Mihawk shrugged casually, "I will join you. It''s not like I have much choice in this situation." "Good. You will be the Branch Leader of Dragon Nest in Elwood." Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "As for you, Carrot, you will be the Vice Leader." "Yey~!" Carrot excitedly jumped. As expected, her sharp intuition wasn''t wrong. Zephyr and Sabo froze on the spots. They felt like they just missed such a massive opportunity. Well, they did. ... Soon, everyone returned to their own ces. Huo Yuhao visited the Unrivaled Weapon Alliance with Mihawk and Carrot while thedies were adventuring Elwood. He''d join them after a bit. Sitting on a leather sofa, Huo Yuhao stared at Mihawk and Carrot. They are ''interesting'' talents in his eyes. Mihawk''s achievement in swordsmanship is no joke. On the other hand, Carrot possessed a faint mutated bloodline. This mutated bloodline has the potential to be a Divine Beast. Huo Yuhao coughed, "I will formally introduce myself. My name is Huo Yuhao, and I''m the leader of the Dragon Nest." "My homeworld is Douluo Dalu, and we cultivated Spirit Energy and Martial Souls to be a God there." Hearing this simple introduction, Mihawk and Carrot couldn''t help but get shaken. The concept of God is unknown to them, but they understood the meaning. Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and sent Immortal Qi/Divine Energy to awaken Mihawk and Carrot''s Martial Souls. "Now, I will awaken your Martial Soul." He injected their bodies with his energy. Mihawk and Carrot felt a warm sensation deep inside their bodies, sensing it burst out with bizarre brilliance. "This is..." Mihawk opened his eyes, and a crimson blood creature greeted him warmly. "WOW~!" Meanwhile, Carrot''s eyes lit up in excitement as her Martial Soul is none other than a giant carrot. In fact, this thing is as tall as herself. [Scan Completed] "Hmm..." Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes. ...

Chapter 371: Reforged Yoru and Strolling Around Elwood

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 389! ---367 --- After awakening Mihawk and Carrot''s Martial Souls, Huo Yuhao provides them with Spirit Circuits and Dragon Nest''s cultivation methods, such as the Universal Breathing Methods and the modified Mysterious Heaven Skill. Then, Huo Yuhao gives them a ck Rune Stone with a rare Spirit Beast inside each. Since Mihawk awakened blood-rted Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao gave him a rune stone from a 12,500-year-old Baleful Crimson King. It was a Spirit Beast with robust blood-manipting power. On the other hand, Carrot received a rune stone from a 10,000-year-old Azure Roots Mandrake. It will fit Carrot like a glove since her Martial Soul is a rare tool-type with heaven and earth''s origin. Huo Yuhao satzily on the sofa while Mihawk and Carrot cultivated their spirit energy. The silhouette of a massive blood-colored bat and dragon-shaped green vegetable appeared behind them. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao heard a notification. [Ding! The Azure Emperor Vault''s Spirit, Palu, has sent you a message] ["Sword fixed, Yaya~!"] Huo Yuhao shook his head because Palu had developed intelligence after some time. This slime is an adorable character. He pulled the new Yoru and saw the oversized body and handguards had be smaller. The only thing that didn''t change was the length of the de. Of course, in a fantasy world, bnce almost means nothing. Mihwak''s Yoru has always been famous for its size and jet-ck de. Still, Palu fixed "Yoru" to meet its standard. Seeing the well-bnced sword in his hand, Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but say, "Not bad." [Name: Yoru V2] [Grade: SSS] [Type: Weapon/Supreme Saint Grade de] [Description: Yoru, the infamous sword of Dracule Mihawk. After getting destroyed by the sh between two sword masters, it broke apart and reforged into a new de. Like a divine phoenix rebirth from ashes, Yoru be much more powerful than before and birthed a weapon spirit] [Innate Ability: True Kokuto, Sword Spirit, Blood Connection] Huo Yuhao sensed the sword in his hand trembling and raised his eyebrow in surprise, "I see... You have sensed Mihawk''s presence and wanted to return to him already." "What a loyal sword." Releasing Yoru from his hand, the ck sword hurriedly hovered around Mihawk like that of a pet. Mihawk also sensed Yoru''s presence and slowly opened his eyes. "This..." Mihawk''s eyes widened slightly. "Yoru!" The ck sword hummed happily. It seemed Mihawk could recognize it immediately. "Yuhao-sama, you have forged Yoru back?" "I thought it would take some time..." Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, "Who do you think I am? Your sword is just a Supreme Grade de. It means nothing in the vast universe." "..." Mihawk. That''s true. Even though Mihawk doesn''t want to admit it, many weapons are better than his Yoru. Heck! Since Mihawk came from the Myriad Heaven Realm, he knew some Divine Weapons that could put Yoru in the ditch. However, all that means nothing to Mihawk. After getting reincarnated through the Blood-Drinking Seal, this ck sword is Mihawk''s closest partner, and no weapon could rece it. Not even Divine Weapon could rece it. Mihawk grasped Yoru''s handle and gently carried the de. He sighed in awe, "A Peak Saint-Grade Weapon. It could touch the realm of Divine Weapon if Iprehended the Law of Sword..." "Thank you, Yuhao-sama. I would never forgive this kindness." Huo Yuhao waved his hand casually, "Take it. The forging barely made me sweat." He''s lying as effortlessly as he breathes. In the process of forging Yoru, Huo Yuhao has never touched the sword at all. It''s all thanks to Palu, the Spirit of Azure Emperor Vault. Of course, Mihawk knew nothing about this. He only smiled upon hearing Huo Yuhao''s reply, feeling more grateful than ever. If Mihawk felt forced to join Huo Yuhao''s force earlier, now he''s willing to follow him out of admiration. ''Such a man is worthy of my loyalty.'' Or so the former Strongest Swordsman thought. Even Huo Yuhao didn''t expect hisziness would bore such a result. "Okay, I will leave to look for the girls." Huo Yuhao stretched out, yawning a little. "You stay here and absorb the Rune Stone." "Pro advice: Don''t look down on the Spirit Beast''s remaining will. If you can win against it, do it with one hundred percent confidence." "If not, keep cultivating your mental power." "Okay." Mihawk nodded in agreement. Huo Yuhao stepped out of the room and added, "Oh, yeah. Look for that mink girl. She has immense talent." "Understood." Mihawk nodded again. He knew one or two things about the Mink Tribe. First is their highbat talent, and the second is their ability to control Electro. He also heard a rumor about Moon Lion Transformation, so Huo Yuhao''s words resonate deeply in his mind. ''I wonder how powerful she can get.'' He couldn''t help but nce at the silly-looking Carrot cultivating. From the look of it, she was daydreaming rather than cultivating. "Yummy carrot..." Carrot drooled happily. "..." Mihawk. This girl. "Yuhao-sama, damn, he''s already gone." When Mihawk wanted to ask something, Huo Yuhao was nowhere to be seen in the area where he used to stand. Mihawk could only shake his head helplessly. ... ... After leaving Mihawk and Carrot, Huo Yuhao whistled while walking on the lively street. People in Elwood live peacefully without getting involved in the chaotic world of One Piece. They don''t have to beware evil pirates, corrupt marines, and tyrannical Celestial Dragons here. With evil-warding runes, they are safe. The elders are basking in the sunlight. The other adults are working with smiles. Children sang their cheerful tones while ying with themselves. This ce is a utopia. Huo Yuhao stopped by the particr statue beneath the "Sacred Pir" and saw it with an amused expression. The white stone statue shows a handsome young man in loose clothes and a ck robe, holding a staff on his shoulder. He has an easygoing, almost sunny expression, giving anyone who sees him aforting feeling. Looking at that smile also makes one feel safe. "Mom, Mom, look! That big brother looks like Captain Jack Sparrow!" A cutesy voice shouted in excitement. Huo Yuhao nced to the left and caught an adorable young girl in a blue summer dress. She pointed her little finger at Huo Yuhao and held onto a woman''s hand, who looked like an adult version of herself. Gasp! The woman covered her mouth in shock when staring at Huo Yuhao. She couldn''t believe her eyes for a moment. "A-Are you..." She stuttered. Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and nodded, causing the woman to bow toward him. "Carrie, bow!" The woman even made her only child bow. "Eh?" The girl didn''t understand this gesture. "I-It''s our pleasure to meet you-!" Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "Get up. You don''t need to bow." "For now, keep my arrival a secret, okay?" After saying that, Huo Yuhao looked at the little girl named Carrie and ced his finger on his lips. Then, Huo Yuhao vanished into thin air. "Wow, magic~!" Carrie was amazed. Meanwhile, Carrie''s mother held her breath and couldn''t hide her excitement because Elwood''s guardian had returned! Huo Yuhao appeared in the shopping district and finally met with one of the girls, Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er is staring at the stall, with several rare nes on the disy. The things on the disy are nothing extraordinary, but she shows so much interest. Her Dragon''s instinct to collect treasure is ''finally'' awakened. Huo Yuhao approached her from behind and asked, "Do you want them?" Huang Qiu''er yelped, "Ah, Master! You''re here." "So, do you want them?" asked Huo Yuhao with a smile. The Dragon Goddess leered at the nes and stubbornly shook her head, which made Huo Yuhao chuckle. Such an Adorable Little Liar. Huo Yuhao called the stall owner and said, "Boss, show me all your nes." "Right away, sir!" The stall owner didn''t recognize Huo Yuhao because he was a merchant who just entered Elwood today. So, he was more excited about potential buyers. He grabbed some wooden boxes and ced them on the table. "Master, you don''t have to do that." Huang Qiu''er pouted at Huo Yuhao. Her heart is warm, though. Huo Yuhao winked yfully, "But I want to." "Now choose." "Then..." Huang Qiu''er tip-toed and looked around for nes. The Novel will be updated first on this website.

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 391! P4treon Link: /NineClouds69 ---368 --- Huang Qiu''er hummed in happiness while checking the nes on the disy. Although these nes were ''skillfully'' made of rare materials and gems, they weren''t that attractive to Huang Qiu''er as she had seen many more precious treasures Huo Yuhao owned. She was only interested in their shapes because the one made by native Tiny World held significant meaning and artistic value. Of course, she wasn''t pretentious enough to pretend she knew what those were. Huo Yuhao smiled and leaned on the table, "If you''re confused about what to choose, I can choose for you." "Um, then let me choose one for you, Master." Huang Qiu''er was stunned for a moment before replying to him. "Sure." Huo Yuhao scanned the disy and found a bright rose-gold ne with twisted chains. He examined the ne before giving the stall owner a sign by tapping his finger on the case. The stall owner nodded and opened the case for Huo Yuhao. "Here, I think this looks good on you." Huo Yuhao dangled the ne before Huang Qiu''er. Huang Qiu''er blinked, feeling emotional because Huo Yuhao chose rose-gold nes for a reason. It was her second favorite color. If you''re wondering what her first favorite is, the answer is starry blue. Yes, the starry blue, like Huo Yuhao''s eyes. At the same time, Huang Qiu''er grasped a pendant with her slender yet firm hand. It''s a unique-looking pendant with two different gems crossed into the shape of X. The white and green gem elevated each other, creating the illusion of this flickering light. "How much are these two?" Huo Yuhao asked the stall owner. The stall owner utilized a quick mental calction and chuckled, "For you, young man? It would be 30,000 Belly." Huo Yuhao shook his head because this stall owner was lying. But Huo Yuhao didn''t want to argue with this dishonest seller and pulled a few slips of paper from his pocket. Also, 30k Belly didn''t mean much for Huo Yuhao. He got them from Rossweisse, who opened some business in the Sacred Timeline. "I will take some more nes, and this 150k Belly will be yours." "Deal?" "Deal!" The stall owner''s eyes lit up as he hurriedly grabbed the thin stacks of Belly in Huo Yuhao''s hand. Huo Yuhao nodded, grabbing eight different nes. Huang Qiu''er noticed the different styles and gems Huo Yuhao chose and realized they were for the otherdies. She didn''t seem surprised by this small act of kindness because she believed others in the group deserved rewards, too. Huang Qiu''er also acknowledged that she couldn''t keep Huo Yuhao for herself. She might as well cooperate with other harem members, right? After storing the nes in their own boxes, Huo Yuhao turned around and said, "Do you want me to help you wear the ne?" "Mm." Huang Qiu''er replied with a not-so-calm heart. "She did." Huo Yuhao chuckled, recalling the lucky pendant Yuna made for him before his journey to the Draconic Deus. Even though the lucky pendant''s effect wasn''t sufficient since Huo Yuhao''s luck got upgraded again, he kept it in his inventory for safekeeping. Huo Yuhao opened the rose-gold ne and gently lifted her soft blue hair, exposing her fair neck and corbone. He caressed the goddess''s wless skin with pure admiration, causing her to shiver and blush slightly. He also couldn''t help but tease by blowing on her nape. "M-Master, please don''t do that..." Huang Qiu''er hurriedly said with a soft and tempting voice. "W-We are in public right now." Her flustered tone was like music in Huo Yuhao''s ears. "Oh, so I can do this and more if we were in private?" Huo Yuhao teased her further. "Master~!" Huang Qiu''er pouted, looking very adorable. "Kids, these days. Stop feeding us dog food and scram from our pure eyes!" said some Single Dogs who couldn''t bear seeing the couple happy. "Yes, get the hall out of this ce!" "This is a shopping district, not your backyard!" Well, technically, this ce is Huo Yuhao''s backyard. Huo Yuhao usually never bragged about his women. But sometimes, he did it for amusement. He lifted his nose high for all the single men to see and boldly held Huang Qiu''er, pressing her body on himself and walking away from the shopping secret with a swag. The look on his handsome face is ''shamelessly'' stered with, ''Yeah, keep the jealousy. Your burning gaze is encouraging me to show off more!'' ''Suck it, Maidenless crowd!'' And the best part is they couldn''t do anything to Huo Yuhao. If they had an ill intention, the evil-warding runes would kick them off Elwood. So, they could only bite their sleeves in frustration. As they walked away, Huang Qiu''er giggled because this childish side of Huo Yuhao was new to her. She looked down on her cleave and touched the ne like it was her greatest treasure. The rose-gold ne didn''t possess any god-like power, but it hold a sentimental value to her now. She unconsciously infused her divine energy into the ne, fearing it would break randomly. Then, the dragon goddess recalled something. "Master, If I''m not wrong. Teacher Yuna also gave you a pendant at some point, right?" Huo Yuhao nodded, "She did." While looking at the cross-shaped pendant in his hand, Huo Yuhao briefly pondered and added, "Yuna gifted me a pendant, which could protect me at the time." "I still keep it in my storage, but this pendant from yours isn''t bad either." "I will keep it safe." Huo Yuhao flipped the pendant, casually turning it into a bracelet he could wear without hassle. "Do you like it, though?" Huang Qiu''er blinked at him. Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yes." Afterughing at their foolish conversation, Huo Yuhao and Huang Qiu''er walked to the other shopping district and found Rossweisse in a high-end boutique. Rossweisse looks and acts like your typical wealthy heiress, pointing her finger randomly at the row of fashionable clothes before throwing her money at the sellers. Huang Qiu''er was a bit stunned. After all, the goddess of magic doesn''t seem to be that type of person. "Are you surprised?" Huo Yuhao crossed his arms, seeing this. "Um..." Huang Qiu''er doesn''t know what to say. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and exined, "To Rossweisse, buying new clothes is a form of rxation. She also could observe things from different perspectives." "Well, the money of this world has little to no value to us." "I bet Rossweisse has a couple of billions if not trillions, of Belly in her pocket after staying in the Sacred Timeline for fifteen years." "I see..." Huang Qiu''er nodded solemnly. She understood now. "Ara, Yuhao-sama, you''re here?" Rossweisse needed a split second to sense Huang Qiu''er and Huo Yuhao''s presence. "Yeah, I met Qiu''er at the other district." Huo Yuhao replied while approaching the wealthydy. "Woah, you''re hoarding this boutique." Rossweisse smiled and replied, "This is just for a small sense of satisfaction." "Here, I bought this for you." Huo Yuhao suddenly grabbed an aqua-blue gemmed ne for Rossweisse. Rossweisse''s eyes lit up. She could tell this ne was only a mortal product, but what mattered was that Huo Yuhao was buying it for her. The value of this ne is pricelesspared to the dresses and clothes she bought. "Thank you, Yuhao-sama." Rossweisse epted the ne wholeheartedly. "Hmm?" The ne missed her hand. "Let me put it on you." Huo Yuhao winked slightly. Rossweisse flustered before nodding her head frantically. Huo Yuhao gently unsped the ne before putting it around Rossweisse''s milky white neck. "Ma''am, your purchase in total is 999,000 Belly." The clerk of the boutique walked to Rossweisse politely. Rosswiesse snapped her finger, "Hurry, show me your most expensive suits for this handsome gentleman." The clerk was shocked by Huo Yuhao''s handsome face before running to fetch their best suits. She is like a track star. "Haha..." Huo Yuhao helplesslyughed. Huang Qiu''er scanned around the dresses and mumbled, "Too frilly." "Well, if you think so, let''s pick other styles for you, Qiu''er," Rossweisse pushed her to the changing room. "Oh..." Huang Qiu''er didn''t expect this. With that, she got dragged by Rossweisse into an unknown territory. .... Chapter 373: Meeting an Interesting Girl

Chapter 373: Meeting an Interesting Girl

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 391! P4treon Link: /NineClouds69 ---369 --- Huo Yuhao whistled, feeling pleasant by Elwood''s atmosphere. He waited for Rossweisse and Huang Qiu''er to exit the changing room. For some reason, he has growing expectations of them in different outfits. Don''t get Huo Yuhao wrong. Huang Qiu''er and Rossweisse are absolutely breathtaking beauty. Well, they are goddesses, after all. Wearing different outfits, Huo Yuhao perhaps would find different charming qualities he doesn''t know. The sound of a rustling curtain entered Huo Yuhao''s ears as he gradually turned around and saw Huang Qiu''er in a white summer dress. The summer dress exposed some of her fair skin, and even the rose-gold ne nestled between her cleavage enticingly, perfecting this pure girl with a big personality image. Rossweisse also changed into a brown blouse and a somewhat tight ck skirt. Her long silver hair is cascading on her back. Oh, she also wore her aqua-blue gemmed ne. And the pendant''s position? Nice! "How do we look, Yuhao-sama?" Rossweisse asked with a smug. Huang Qiu''er didn''t do anything, but she had this look of anticipation. "You two look beautiful, nothing short of the goddess you are." Huo Yuhao praised with no ounce of shame. I mean, look at these beauties. Even jade beauties fall shortpared to them. Rossweisse and Huang Qiu''er couldn''t help but smile, feeling pleased by his praise. At the same time, the clerk returned with a row of suits. They looked fashionable, but Huo Yuhao didn''t think much of it. The best suit is the one tailor-made. However, Huo Yuhao can''t let the girls down, especially when they are staring at him with those zing eyes. "Yuhao-sama..." Rossweisse coyly pressed. "Alright, alright, I understand." Huo Yuhao randomly grabbed a suit and entered the changing room. A secondter. Huo Yuhaoes out, causing the clerk to gasp. You would think she had seen the face of God or something. Huo Yuhao is one of them. "Wait, isn''t that young man..." A random customer whispered to her best friend. "Yes, from the instinct passed down by my mother''s mother''s grandmother, there is no mistake..." "That young man is the legendary..." "Jack Sparrow! Oh my god!" The clerk finally connected the dots between Huo Yuhao''s appearance and the statue beneath the Sacred Pir. Every woman in the boutique instantly had an enchanted look, including Huang Qiu''er and Rossweisse, though it was for a different reason. "As expected, he looks good in any suit." Rossweisse nodded. "Are you teasing me?" Huo Yuhao uncuffed the suit''s button and brushed his hair back. "Ah, by the way..." He nced at the otherdies in the room. "Keep my identity secret for now. We don''t want to alert the Marine and Celestial Dragons." "Even though they couldn''t enter Elwood, it won''t stop them from surrounding this ce." "O-Okay..." The clerk and others nodded their heads dumbly. Huo Yuhao shed a natural smile, "Thank you." After paying for the dress and suit, Huo Yuhao brought Huang Qiu''er and Rossweisse out before blending into the crowd. It was easy for them to hide their presence from the mortal. Rubbing her ne, Rossweisse suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "Yuhao, how are the shady swordsman and the bunny girl?" "Haha~!" Huo Yuhaoughed because Rossweisse called Mihawk a shady swordsman. The one for Carrot is urate, though some may take it differently. "They are doing fine." "Mihawk and Carrot are currently cultivating. Both have rare Martial Souls." "Oh, really?" Rossweisse was interested. "Tell me more." Huang Qiu''er was also eager to know what kind of Martial Souls this world native could awaken. Since she has seen Kuina and Toki''s Martial Souls, the one Mihawk and Carrot had shouldn''t be too shabby. Huo Yuhao patiently told them about Mihawk and Carrot''s Martial Souls, which caused Rossweisse to ponder a little. "Yuhao-sama, don''t you think Tiny World''s potential is big? I think it''s better than most ces in the Douluo Dalu World." Huo Yuhao sighed, "That is because the Spirit Master System only works if you have talents and are ''naturally'' chosen for them. Back at the Douluo Dalu World, those with trash Martial Souls and no Spirit Energy had no chance to cultivate. More less getting stronger." "Tiny World''s foundation works differently. It''s not like they have a Spirit Master System and are ''solely'' focused on Devil Fruits, Haki, Seastone Weapons, etc." "And the reason this very change exists is because of..." "Ostera Race." Rossweisse finished Huo Yuhao''s sentence. "So, the event many years ago is fated to happen, which triggered a change in a nk Tiny World." "Once we introduce the Spirit Master System worldwide, there might be a bacsh." Huang Qiu''ermented with a solemn expression. Huo Yuhao gave them a weary look, "You two are a little too good at observing things." "Don''t worry, Tiny World won''t break apart when we introduce Spirit Energy." "I have made a promise with Oceana to keep things tidy." Rossweisse realized something and said, "Talking about Oceana, I don''t see her around after the invasion." Huo Yuhao shrugged casually, "Who knows, that little spirit is probably doing something in the shadows to keep Tiny World running. She wouldn''t appear so aimlessly all the time." "We will definitely meet again, though." "Roast fish, roast fish~! Just Five Belly a skewer~!" A loud voice announced with several rings of bell. Growl~! Huang Qiu''er smelled the roasted fish, and her stomach''s reaction didn''t disappoint. She blushed and started making excuses, "T-Time travel is making me hungry." "You need to work on your reason, Qiu''er." Rossweisse giggled, pulling the dragon goddess to the food stall. However, before they could order, a cute-looking young woman sat near the stall and ordered, "Boss, give me ten more skewers!" Huang Qiu''er and Rossweisse''s eyes immediately gazed at her. They found this young woman interesting because they sensed her unique power. "Devil Fruit User?" Rossweisse narrowed her eyes. "It''s somewhat simr to Toki''s." "Time-rted ability." Huang Qiu''er adjected. "What are you looking at? Never seen someone eating before?" The young woman squinted her eyes, feeling protective over her food. Huo Yuhao suddenly sat near the young woman and said, "You''re Neo Marine, right? "If I''m not wrong, you should be one of Zephyr''s people." "Well, it seems we are destined to meet here..." Huo Yuhao actually knew about this young woman. Her name is Ain, and she is the Vice-Admiral of Neo Marine. She ate Return-Return Fruit, which allowed her to return anything her power touched for twelve years. For example, if she touched someone, that someone would regress and be twelve years younger. If she touches a random volcanic rock, the rock can return tova and explode on your face. Her ability is considered dangerous. It''s a conceptual attack with severe effects. Unfortunately, Ain couldn''t fully utilize her power. Her imagination is limited. Not to mention, enemies wouldn''t just let Ain touch them with her power. "Who are you..." Ain frowned, feeling immense danger from the handsome young man before her. She could have used her power, but her instinct told her doing so would end up with her losing her life. She also didn''t know that a conceptual attack at this level couldn''t harm Huo Yuhao. She can''t just transcend dimensionality with her Devil Fruit''s power, or it would be too broken. "My name is Huo Yuhao..." Huo Yuhao tapped his finger on the table. "Ain..." said the young woman warily. "So, Ain. Are you interested in joining my organization?" Huo Yuhao offered half-assedly. Ain frowned, "Not interested. I will always be Neo Marine." "Boss, I will put the money here." "Goodbye." After saying that, Ain flicked her hair and walked away from them. Huo Yuhao stared at Ain''s disappearing back, "Well..." "I think we will meet again soon." "It''s not like that Old Man Zephyr would reject my offer." ... ... Meanwhile, Ain has arrived at the Neo Marine Headquarters. "What, Teacher is holding a meeting?" She was shocked by this news upon returning. She hurriedly entered the conference room, only to see the people of Neo Marine staring down in silence. "What happened?" She asked, looking at Zephyr concerningly. Zephyr sighed heavily, "Hear me out... We might have to disband Neo Marine." Chapter 374: Neo Marine and Revolutionary Army鈥檚 Decision

Chapter 374: Neo Marine and Revolutionary Army''s Decision

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 391! P4treon Link: /NineClouds69 ---370 --- Zephyr sighed heavily, "Hear me out... We might have to disband Neo Marine." "What?!" Ain was speechless. It was too sudden of a decision. Didn''t they have a gathering a few hours ago about reducing one of the Marine''s bases near Elwood? Zephyr looked at his dear disciple and continued, "We got an invitation from a strong person. He''d like us to be part of his organization." "No, he''d like the four major factions in Elwood to be under him from now on." "Can we just reject this person?" Ain was confused. As far as Ain knew, her teacher always possessed a steel-like will. After learning about the corrupt practices of the Marines, he despises getting exploited by others and wants to show the world true justice. The way he acts right is nothing like his usual self! "Unfortunately, the one offering this is not someone we could afford to offend, Ain." Zephyr shook his head bitterly. "The Unrivaled Weapon Alliance and Mink Tribe have joined this person''s group." This time, not only Ain but the rest of the Neo Marines also widened their eyes in disbelief. They couldn''t believe their ears for a moment. However, this wasing from Zephyr''s mouth, so they had no choice but to believe it. Zephyr won''t bother to lie. He''s not such a person in the first ce. A Neo Marine Senior mumbled in confusion, "How is this possible? With the Strongest Swordsman in the Unrivaled Weapon Alliance, those weapon-wielding fanatics would never bend their knees to others." "Unless... Dracule Mihawk was defeated." Someone raised his voice as if he was reciting a fantasy. Gasp! A loud gasp escaped everyone''s mouth simultaneously. Such a possibility shed in their mind. "But we are talking about Mihawk here. He''s the Strongest Swordsman in the world." said another Neo Marine member. To them, Mihawk is one of those powerhouses they could only watch from afar and admire in helplessness. His strength is in the realm they couldn''t imagine. Even Zephyr himself won''t have a good time fighting Mihawk. Unfortunately, sometimes the wildest thought is the most correct. Zephyr recalled Mihawk''s brief exchange with that person and shook his head bitterly, "No, you guys are right. Mihawk has lost. He lost with a single sword sh." "And what makes this situation grave is the person who defeated him was the one who wanted us to join his group." "..." Ain. "..." Everyone else. No fucking wonder! "To defeat Mihawk with a single sword sh." Ain clenched her hand in awe. "Just how powerful is this person?" Zephyrughed wearily, "If you guys see what I saw. You wouldn''t be surprised by the difference in strength. That guy Mihawk doesn''t even have a chance to defeat that person." "And that person was holding back, so he didn''t kill Mihawk identally." Hiss! Everyone couldn''t help but suck a sharp breath. Holding back against the Strongest Swordsman is iprehensible. The more they listened to Zephyr, the more shocked they received. At this point, some of them might faint or have a seizure. "Sensei, who is this person?" Ain finally asked the infamous million-dor question. Zephyr gazed around the room before sighing again, "This person is well known. In fact, everyone in Elwood should know him." "His name is Huo Yuhao." "But you guys should recognize his other name." "Jack Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow!" The atmosphere froze immediately. "He is..." "HE IS BACK!" Someone Neo Marine stood up in excitement. Cough! Zephyr coughed, "Okay, okay, don''t get too excited. I know everyone here admired him because of what he had done two years ago, starting from making Elwood to dering war against corrupt forces." "However, I must tell you that he was much different than you ever imagined." "Not in a bad way, of course, just different." "Aih, what a bother. I bet the Revolutionary Army is in the same predicament right now." ... At the Revolutionary Army''s side, Sabo sat in a meeting room with a solemn expression. Even then, he''s alone, facing Den Den Mushi. "Is what you said true, Sabo?" A man''s shaky voice came from the Den Den Mushi. "Jack Sparrow has returned to Elwood? It is unbelievable." "After two years, I thought the Celestial Dragons had gotten him, but I still underestimated this person." "As expected of the man who boldly dered war against the Celestial Dragon after killing one of their strongest dogs (admirals)." Sabo''s mouth twitched slightly, "Underestimated... That''s a lousy wordpared to what that man can do, Dragon-san." "He basically spared Mihawk''s life a while ago." "Even with my strength, I felt helpless facing him." "If I had to say... It feels like he was an otherworldly being or a God." The Revolutionary Army''s leader, Monkey D. Dragon, bes solemn upon hearing Sabo''s words. Anything rted to Gods isn''t simple. They are beings that mortals can''t understand. After forming the Revolutionary Army and stealing something from the hand of Celestial Dragons, Dragon has done tireless research about those so-called Gods. He has found many secrets the public didn''t know. So, he wasn''t surprised knowing there were other worlds out there. This universe is vast, after all. He also couldn''t help but feel immense disgust and hatred toward the World Government. They hide this information, preventing others from rising to prominence. Of course, there is personal hate, too. However, a Dragon is a man with a vast vision and a calm heart. He wouldn''t charge the World Government directly and decided to umte power himself. There is a reason why Dragon was ''literally'' called the most dangerous man in the world. After all, his presence threatened the stability of the World Government. "Hmm..." Dragon rubbed his forehead, thinking about Huo Yuhao''s offer to join the Dragon Nest. "Another world... Dragon Nest. Nest of Dragons, huh?" "What should we do, Dragon-san?" Sabo interjected. "Should we join Dragon Nest?" "I didn''t sense any ill intention from Huo Yuhao earlier." "He genuinely wanted us to join him." "Of course, we must join." Dragonughed. "Such a strong person would lead us to greatness. He''ll help us revolutionize this world!" "Unfortunately, I''m too far from Elwood. I wanted to meet Huo Yuhao personally." "Are you still looking for the World Government''s weakness?" Sabo was confused. Dragon replied confidently, "Yes. Even though they tried to hide it, I had already found traces of Uranus''s weakness. The ruin I''m currently in recorded the method used to make it." "So, Sabo, I appointed you to ept Huo Yuhao''s offer." "He will be our key to throwing off the World Government and liberating this world from its restriction." Sabo nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will do as you say, Dragon-san." Dragon smiled on the other side of Den Den Mushi, "Also, say my thanks to Huo Yuhao." "Eh, did he help you before, Dragon-san?" Sabo was surprised. "No, but he helped Luffy''s crewmate, remember?" Dragon answered with amusement. The disappearance of Devil Child Nico Robin is a public secret. Many people knew Huo Yuhao killed Admiral Kizaru to save her. Dragon guessed Huo Yuhao did this to avert everyone''s attention from Robin to him. This act also helped Luffy and his other crewmates as the World Government wouldn''t hastily chase after them. "I see..." Sabo realized what Dragon meant. "Sabo, do your best to get on Huo Yuhao''s good side first. I will be back soon." After saying that, Dragon cut his connection with Sabo''s Den Den Mushi. Sabo stared nkly at the Den Den Mushi before pping his face a few times. "Okay, here we go!" He said with a burning spirit. Chapter 375: Branch鈥檚 Intelligence Center, Neos and SEAR-A

Chapter 375: Branch''s Intelligence Center, Neos and SEAR-A

If you are interested to read advanced Chapters, you can support me on the P4treon and check the advanced Chapters there. We are currently at Chapter 391! P4treon Link: /NineClouds69 ---371 --- After Ain left, Huo Yuhao and the girls strolled around Elwood again. They found this city much more amusing than the ces they had ever visited in thest couple of years. Truthfully, Rossweisse was bored with the Sacred Timeline. Since it was the prime spot, she couldn''t change anything and basically became a ghost tourist when visiting cities. Of course, sometimes, Toki would apany her to the city. Even then, two lonely individuals as ghost tourists don''t make it better, especially when they don''t have muchmon topic to talk about. To divert herself from depression, Rossweisse resorted to extreme measures and self-hypnotized herself to focus on her cultivation and research. It was sessful. Rossweisse has ascended as the Goddess of Magic. However, the umted depression erupted at once with Huo Yuhao''s presence. It made her enjoy mundane things like shopping and eating good food. "Yuhao-sama, since you''re going to make this city our base. I think we can start implementing Dragon Nest''s satellites. Using our divine sense would be too exhausting and redundant." Rossweisse suddenly remarked with a smile. "Ah, I second that." Huang Qiu''er added. She showed her empty wrist andmented. "With Giana handling those mundane chores, I can focus more on cultivating and other things." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile, "I thought so, too. It''s not bad to build an intelligence center early." "However, I was wary of something." "Wary of something?" Rossweisse and Huang Qiu''er tilted their heads in confusion. Huo Yuhao smiled and exined, "It''s like this. We have been time-traveling throughout Tiny World''s history." "The future is unknown... However, we can still predict it by patterns." "Each timeline, one of you girls will appear." "And we traveled further to the future event." "By the time we built the intelligence center and changed this timeline, I''m afraid thest girl will experience time whish in the future. Her experience is a much more dangerous timepared to the rest of you." "Valerie..." Rossweisse narrowed her eyes, thinking about something deeply. "Liu Mei..." Huang Qiu''er recalled the Dragon Nest''s Queen of Thunder. Although Huang Qiu''er isn''t close with Liu Mei, thetter was a helpful individual and a highly efficient secretary. ording to Teacher Yuna, while Huo Yuhao and others are gone to the Draconic Deus, Liu Mei directed the Dragon Nest for a few months alone. Huang Yuna didn''t help Liu Mei manage the Dragon Nest because she believed the Queen of Thunder waspetent enough. However, Huang Qiu''erter found her teacher was toozy and unmotivated to do anything productive. If not for Huo Yuhao, Huang Yuna might not take Huang Qiu''er as her disciple. Huang Qiu''er could imagine Huang Yuna''s thousand excuses, ''Hey, badmouthing your teacher behind her back! That''s sphemous!'' ''No bread for a week for you!'' Huang Qiu''er shook her head and said solemnly, "Whoever we meet first orst, we will save them." Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was stunned before patting her head. "Qiu''er is cute, huh?" "She is cute." Rossweisse nodded in agreement. Huang Qiu''er pouted at their treatment. Huo Yuhao and Rossweisse chuckled, making Huang Qiu''er pout even more. "Well, for the best or worst. Let''s do this." Huo Yuhao said while leaning on a random wall. As Huang Qiu''er said, whoever they meet first, he will save them regardless of what happens. Huo Yuhao used the Techno Archon ss. His starry blue eyes flickered with neon-blue light. Several invisible blue screens appeared, allowing Huo Yuhao to analyze Tiny World''s situation. "Star Level..." "Atmosphere saturation." "Gravitational Pull." "Possible realm collision." "Quantum realm calction, error margin 0.7%." "Searching for the most suitable design, manifestation, simte..." "Simte, simte, simte." "First rotation, sess." "Second rotation, sess." "Third rotation, failure. Collision detected, calibrated, simte again." Huo Yuhao''s mind spun incredibly fast when using Techno Archon ss, defying the realm of logic and the universe. Knowledge is power, and applying it to the world is Techno Archon''s wonders! In fact, only a few seconds passed, and Huo Yuhao had made billions of calctions in his head. This processing speed is one of many reasons he could invent Cyber Race and Three Ultimate Powers. "Marvelous!" Rossweisse also used her Magical Akashic Codes to see what Huo Yuhao was doing. Even then, she barely esses Techno Archon''s ability. It means Techno Archon requires her to leap into anotheryer of dimensionality. Elements gathered above Huo Yuhao''s palm, rotating and merging into a silver-blue diamond. This cube will be the intelligence center''s data bank. Huo Yuhao called it Neos. Of course, like the data bank at the Dragon Nest''s headquarters, Neos also has its own artificial intelligence or spirit, no lower than Giana. Neos''s spirit is none other than Seara or Sear-A! It is also known as the Serenity Evaluation and Application Revolutionary Act. Although Huo Yuhao didn''t use his soul to make Seara as he did to Giana, Seara is still a god-level spirit capable of evaluating gxy-level danger and applying revolutionary methods to act against threat. "System Reboot..." A serene feminine voice escaped the silver-blue diamond above Huo Yuhao''s palm. "SEAR-A is at your service, my lord." Huo Yuhao nodded, "Launch the satellites." "Granted," Seara replied, and the silver-blue diamond floated. Several particles escaped and became bigger each second, reaching the outer atmosphere in a few breaths. Rotation, Normal." "Super Sr Panel and Energy Reactor at 3.000%." "Energy consumption, 0.69%." "Current status, standby." "Set, My Lord." "Good." Huo Yuhao nodded calmly. With Seara, the Dragon Nest can start operating in the Tiny World. He also has added Mihawk and Carrot''s data, granting them special ess to knowledge outside this world. Huo Yuhao checked Dragon Nest''s Management Sub-System and saw members were rising solidly. Dragon Nest gained quite a jump of new members with Unrivaled Weapon Alliance and the Mink Tribe. Soon, there would be the Neo Marine and Revolutionary Army. "Not bad, not bad." He said twice in satisfaction. Then, Huo Yuhao somewhat regretted not implementing Giana in the Everlith Universe. Unfortunately, he didn''t have a chance and time to do it because of the Emergency Quest. Thankfully, Giana at the Dragon Nest has fully connected to the one at the Douluo Dalu Universe. Yup, you guessed it. The Space-Time Link between the two worlds has stabilized after a while. Of course, none of the worlds could ess each other for now. Only Huo Yuhao has permission to travel between the two worlds. The exception in this scenario is the Great Red. "Rose (Great Red) probably won''t visit the Douluo Dalu World soon." Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin. "She''s taking her role as the World Guardian so seriously." "Haa... If only those shameless Gods in the Douluo God Realm were at least 1/10 more responsible than Great Red. They are just watching andzing around all day without doing anything." After ascending Godhood, while not connected to the Douluo God Realm, Huo Yuhao could feel its state. Three words. Not very good. Ever since Tang San and his friends'' ascension, the Douluo God Realm has be messy. Even without Huo Yuhao''s interference, a great conflict will happen sooner orter. And Huo Yuhao wanted to exploit that. "Phew... Let''s not get ahead of myself. It''s not the time yet to fight with those irresponsible fellows." Huo Yuhao sighed, cing Neos beneath Elwood. "Done?" Rosswessie blinked her eyes in awe. "Done." Huo Yuhao gave her a confident smile. "Damn, that was fast!" Huo Yuhaoughed at Rossweisse''s shocked words, "Hehe, this much is nothing. Wait until you see what we can do with the Myriad Heaven Realm." "Which begs the question, where is Toki?" "I haven''t seen her for a while now." ... ... Toki aimlessly walked around Elwood until she stumbled upon a nice-looking pub. She nced at the que, which said, "Partys Bar." "Huh?" "Interesting." Toki walked into the bar and heard a weing greeting. "Ah, a patron at this hour? Wee to the Partys Bar!" "Do you want a drink?" A cheerful voice came from behind the counter. Toki''s body froze upon hearing this familiar voice. She gradually looked at the bartender behind the counter and covered her mouth in shock, "I-It''s you..." "H-How could you be here?" ... The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
