Even Yuanen Yehui was eager to try.
Her battle armor had also been completed.
Although she had always thought she should not trouble Huo Yuhao, in the end, she had not escaped the allure of a good thing.
However, she was a Grade Six Mecha Repairer herself, which was still different from those who just coasted like Xie Xie and the others.
When the others learned that these people all had battle armor, they showed shocked expressions.
Your version had already been updated?
Did it have to be this fast?
"In summary, we are leaving the matches here in Xingluo to you."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. "We need to go deal with more tricky problems."
"Yes. Rest assured, leave it to us."
Xie Xie grinned. The others also nodded.
Xingluo was just Xingluo. If they dared to be arrogant, they would be defeated soundly.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled and dismissed everyone. He kept Xu Xiaoyan behind and took out an item to give her.
"This is a Star Phase Attribute soul tool. It can automatically recharge at night and release star power to protect those inside. It suits you very well. If you encounter danger, do not hesitate. Use it."
Among the advance "compensation" given by Xingluo, he had kept this soul tool. The other two items had been given to others to handle.
He had already inspected it. This soul tool's function had no problems. He himself had no use for it, so the one it suited most was Xu Xiaoyan.
After all, Xiaoyan could now recharge it herself.
Yes, recharge it herself.
Under his and Gu Yuena's careful cultivation, Xu Xiaoyan had successfully accomplished the feat of fusing a ten thousand year spirit soul ancestor at four rings. With the core spirit ability provided by that spirit soul, Xiaoyan was now a different kind of twin martial soul soul master.
Her spirit power could now switch freely between the star phase attribute and the ice attribute. She could use spirit abilities of both attributes as she wished. Her strength had greatly increased.
Xu Xiaoyan took the star phase soul tool. A flash of surprise appeared in her eyes. She gently rubbed the surface, which had flowing star patterns, feeling the vast star power contained within, which resonated subtly with her martial soul.
"Thank you, Yuhao." She smiled sweetly. "I will use it properly."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Gu Yuena, and turned to walk toward the door.
As they walked, their appearances began to change, finally turning into a pair of ordinary looking young soul masters.
The surrounding and annihilate plan would take time to prepare. Next, they could go to Dragon Valley first and see the situation inside.
...
Inside a dim underground chamber, the stench of blood filled the air.
A crimson formation slowly rotated on the floor. Dozens of bound people lay stiff on the ground, the light already gone from their eyes. Several evil soul masters in black robes stood in the center of the formation, quietly chanting obscure incantations.
"Excellent... after absorbing three more souls, my sacred artifact will be complete." The lead black robed figure feverishly raised a flag banner. "Then, my strength will rise another level."
A sound of footsteps interrupted the black robed figure's words. A young man suddenly pushed open the door.
"Lord Shadow, two soul masters have come from outside. They seem to want to trade for dragon bones."
Boom!
Before the words were finished, the chamber's thick metal door and walls exploded violently. A violent wave of force, carrying debris, swept through. The young man who had come to report the news was caught off guard and directly flung away.
Through the dust and smoke, two tall and slender figures slowly stepped inside.
The young man on the left was dressed in black. His black eyes were as cold as an icy abyss. A faint frost mist lingered around him. With each step he took, a thin layer of ice formed on the ground.
The young girl on the right had blue light flowing in her black eyes. Between her pale white hands, a palpitating elemental fluctuation lingered.
They were Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, who had changed their appearances and secretly come here.
Following the intelligence they had obtained earlier, they had found their way to this vicinity. Gu Yuena had been able to sense the existence of Dragon Valley after arriving here.
At the same time, they had also discovered traces of evil soul masters.
As they had initially anticipated, Dragon Valley was now in the hands of evil soul masters. The evil soul masters in this chamber were probably responsible for guarding Dragon Valley.
After some consideration, Huo Yuhao did not directly find a hidden location to forcibly break through the planar barrier and enter Dragon Valley. Instead, he actively sought out these evil soul masters.
Among the evil soul master bases guarding Dragon Valley, there was at least one evil soul master Titled Douluo or Three-Word Battle Armor Master stationed there. The possibility of a Limit Douluo appearing was relatively small.
Therefore, this base would not be a problem for them. Instead, it could become a quite valuable source of intelligence.
There were many things about Xingluo that he did not understand and wanted to ask those in the know.
"Who are you?" The lead black robed evil soul master looked at them with an ugly expression, his voice carrying some shock and anger. "Do you not know the rules of trading here?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately. He slowly raised his right hand. In his palm, a crystal clear ice sword condensed.
"With evil soul masters standing right before me, what more needs to be said?"
The black robed evil soul master frowned deeply. His flag banner suddenly swung. Blood light surged wildly. "Seeking death. Take them!"
The other evil soul masters in the room rushed toward Huo Yuhao. Each of them had evil spirit power at the Soul Sage level surging from their bodies.
Huo Yuhao's gaze turned cold. He gently waved the ice sword in his hand. A brilliant ice blue sword energy swept out. Several evil soul masters rushing over did not even have time to scream before being instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
A cold air spread. The temperature of the entire chamber plummeted. A thick layer of frost quickly formed on the floor and walls. Even tiny ice crystals began to float in the air.
The black robed evil soul master felt a bitter cold approaching. His pupils contracted.
"Extreme Ice?"
Such intense cold ice elements were definitely Extreme Ice, no doubt.
But judging from Huo Yuhao's aura when he acted, he was just a Soul Emperor. He had not used his battle armor. Yet he had instantly killed several Soul Sages. Was that reasonable?
If he were to be directly attacked, would he be able to withstand it?
Alarm bells rang in the black robed evil soul master's heart. He did not dare to be careless. His Three-Word Battle Armor instantly possessed him. He suddenly swung his flag banner and shouted sharply, "Blood Soul Great Array, rise."
The secret room floor suddenly lit up with glaring blood red patterns. The frozen ice sculptures of the evil soul masters exploded violently, turning into blood mist that merged into the formation and ultimately into his flag banner, helping him complete the refinement of the Blood Soul Banner.
The next moment, countless Wraiths screamed out from the banner, turning into countless blood red chains entwining toward Huo Yuhao.
Although he was only a Soul Douluo, as a Three-Word Battle Armor Master, he was sufficient to face a level 95 Super Douluo.
Now, with the refined Blood Soul Banner in hand, even if Huo Yuhao was somewhat strange, in the evil soul master's view, capturing him was not a problem.
But what he did not expect was that the chains formed by the Blood Soul Banner's Wraiths had not even reached Huo Yuhao before they were all swallowed by a gray energy.
Those Wraiths had no effect at all. The other party was like the bane of evil soul masters, easily hacking his methods.
Not only that, Huo Yuhao's strength also exceeded his expectations. After the other party also put on his battle armor, he could not take him down at all. Instead, the Extreme Ice kept affecting him, making his movements slower and slower. In a short time, he fell into a disadvantage. A premonition of approaching death rose in his heart.
"I cannot let this continue."
Although he was confident in his strength, the person before him was truly somewhat abnormal.
If this continued, he would die.
The evil soul master's gaze turned dark. He endured injuries, quickly mobilized his spiritual power, and awakened another guardian here who was not weaker than him.
"I beseech Lord Evil Emperor to join me in killing the Invading Enemy."
After hearing his call, Huo Yuhao sensed something unusual. His gaze turned toward another passage in the secret room. His mood was somewhat peculiar.
This was truly an unexpected gain.
A pitch black crack suddenly split open in the passage ahead. A suffocating pressure suddenly descended along with spiritual power.
"Why have you disturbed this emperor's slumber?"
A low, raspy voice seemed to come from the deepest part of the underworld.
A powerful spiritual power fluctuation made the entire underground chamber begin to shake. The soul powered lamps on the walls burst one after another.
A figure that Huo Yuhao recognized all too well appeared before them with this commotion.
It was an Evil Eye Tyrant. Its entire body emitted a silver white light, and its diameter was three meters. The ten thousand year Evil Eye Tyrant spirit soul from Huo Yuhao seemed like a child before it.
Seeing this one appear, Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit stirred.
"A hundred thousand year Evil Eye Tyrant?"
Skydream widened his eyes and said in surprise, "There is actually an Evil Eye Tyrant that has not become a spirit soul? And it is purely spiritual attribute?"
The more single an Evil Eye Tyrant's attribute, the stronger it was. Purely spiritual attribute evil eyes held the most sublime status among their kind.
Because this meant that their bloodline was very close to that of the Evil Emperor, or even that they were a direct descendant of the Evil Emperor.
Thinking of this, Skydream suddenly remembered something.
Just now, what had that evil soul master called this Evil Eye Tyrant? Evil Emperor?
And this Evil Eye Tyrant seemed to have accepted that title.
The Second Generation Evil Emperor?
Skydream's gaze unconsciously turned to the silent Evil Emperor in the Sea of Spirit. The corner of his mouth could not help curling into a smile. The other spirit souls' gazes also unintentionally looked toward him. "Tsk tsk tsk. Time is truly merciless. Ten thousand years have passed, and your descendants dare to call themselves 'Evil Emperor.' Your title as the ancestor has been stolen."
Evil Emperor said, "..."
His expression was hidden behind his mask, preventing the other spirit souls from seeing his expression. But the spiritual power fluctuations faintly emanating around him conveyed his unpleasant mood.
Outside, Huo Yuhao's mood was similarly somewhat peculiar.
A hundred thousand year Evil Eye Tyrant with purely spiritual attribute. Was this the Evil Emperor's son?
How did it end up on the Xingluo side and serving in the Holy Spirit Cult?
Cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult. Was this "the son following in his father's footsteps"?
These questions flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind for a moment before he temporarily put them aside.
The evil soul master and Evil Eye Tyrant before him would not give him time to think.
"Lord Evil Emperor, this person has trespassed on the base and killed many of our members. I cannot defeat him alone. I know you are digesting your previous gains and do not wish to be disturbed. But the situation is urgent. I had no choice but to disturb you."
The black robed evil soul master said solemnly to the silver white Evil Eye Tyrant.
Although the other party was a spirit beast, it did not affect his attitude toward the Evil Eye Tyrant.
The current Holy Spirit Cult practiced "Education for All without Discrimination." They dared to keep a Light Sacred Dragon soul master by their side, let alone a powerful hundred thousand year spirit beast.
In any case, with the examples of the Supreme Cult Leader and her daughter, as long as the spirit beast could be used by the Holy Spirit Cult, it was a good comrade.
The silver white Evil Eye Tyrant snorted coldly. "A mere Soul Emperor has made you this embarrassed. Truly useless."
The black robed evil soul master's expression was ugly, but he did not argue. After all, being pushed to this extent by a Soul Emperor was indeed embarrassing.
After saying this, the hundred thousand year Evil Eye Tyrant could not be bothered to continue. Its huge evil eye slowly turned. Its cold spiritual power swept across the entire scene, finally settling on Huo Yuhao.
"Since you are here, stay."
Without any intention of further words, the Evil Eye Tyrant's pupil suddenly opened wide. Circles of silver light patterns rapidly spread outward from its body.
It was just a battle armor master with Extreme Ice. Even if he could fight a Three-Word Battle Armor Master, his spiritual power could not possibly be a match for him.
However, the Evil Eye Tyrant soon changed his view.
Just as the silver light patterns were about to reach Huo Yuhao.
"Buzz."
A brilliant golden light pillar suddenly erupted in front of Huo Yuhao. All the silver light patterns scattered as if hitting a Bronze Wall and Iron Fortress.
A powerful spiritual power fluctuation emanated from Huo Yuhao. While blocking the Evil Eye Tyrant's attack, it also pushed back.
A terrifying spiritual storm immediately erupted between the two.
"What?"
The evil soul master's pupils sharply contracted. He looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
As a guardian of the Dragon Valley passage and a Three-Word Battle Armor Master, his status in the Holy Spirit Cult was not low. He knew quite a bit of information about the Holy Spirit Cult.
He knew that this Evil Eye Tyrant, as the direct descendant of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, the second ranked of the Ten Great Savage Beasts from ten thousand years ago, and having inherited the title of "Evil Emperor," was like the daughter of that Supreme Cult Leader, both Beast Second Generation.
Their cultivation could not be described with ordinary hundred thousand year spirit beasts. Their spiritual power had both reached the Spiritual Domain realm. And the Evil Eye Tyrant itself was already skilled in spiritual power. Its spiritual power control was far stronger than Lan Fozi's.
So what did he see?
A Soul Emperor was not inferior to the Evil Eye Tyrant in a spiritual shock contest.
How was this possible?
For a moment, the evil soul master even forgot to support the Evil Eye Tyrant. His heart was filled with shock.
That Huo Yuhao from the Douluo Federation was already an utter Monster. The higher ups all valued him and told them to pay close attention to him, and to act if they had the chance to recruit him into the Holy Spirit Cult.
But this young man who had suddenly appeared, aside from being a bit older, was in some ways even more terrifying than that Huo Yuhao.
Wait. Two-Word Battle Armor Master, Soul Emperor, spiritual attribute martial soul, and strength comparable to a Super Douluo. Why was this configuration so familiar?
The evil soul master suddenly realized.
Aside from the Spiritual Domain realm spiritual power and Extreme Ice martial soul, this young man was very similar to Huo Yuhao in terms of the strength he had displayed.
But he had seen Huo Yuhao's information. His second martial soul was space attribute, not Extreme Ice.
While the evil soul master was confused, the Evil Eye Tyrant, sensing Huo Yuhao's spiritual control ability, which was even stronger than his own, and recalling the Extreme Ice martial soul he had used before, his expression gradually changed.
"What is your relationship with Spirit Ice Douluo?"
