"Alright, children, I'm going to begin refining it."
Electrolux finished speaking and then closed his eyes.
His ashen, ethereal Divine Soul sat cross-legged in mid-air above the lake, with the Gold of Life hovering an inch in front of him, its brilliant light continuously flowing into his phantom body.
The atmosphere on the lake became quiet, with only the soft sound of the water lapping against the rocks remaining.
Electrolux's phantom was originally so thin that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow it away. As the golden vitality of the Gold of Life continued to flow in, the broken gaps were filled little by little, and the phantom slowly became solid and its outline became clear.
Deep within his Divine Soul, countless fragmented memories and depleted essences were slowly reviving under the nourishment of boundless vitality.
Necromantic power has always represented decay and destruction, completely contrary to the origin of life. But Electrolux is the Holy Necromancer, who has long transcended the simple dichotomy of life and death. He controls death, and he also understands the true meaning of life. Death is not the end, and life is not the only thing; the two are two sides of the same coin.
Golden vitality washed over his battered Divine Soul, and countless insights into laws that had been dormant for millennia surged anew in his sea of consciousness.
Electrolux closed his eyes, his mind completely absorbed in the refining process.
The Gold of Life continued to shrink, and the liquid golden light flowing on the surface was gradually extracted.
The crystal, originally the size of a fist, slowly shrank to the size of a goose egg, and then to the size of a chicken egg. Its radiance remained warm, but the vitality it contained had been reduced by nearly 30%.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle lay quietly on the reef, its head raised, its eyes fixed on the scene in mid-air.
Qian Renxue turned her head to look at Su Zui and lowered her voice. "After he recovers, what kind of fortune will he bring you? I'm a little curious."
Su Zui shook his head, his gaze still warily scanning the surrounding dense forest, his Invincible Sword Domain maintaining peak sensitivity. "I don't know. Senior Electrolux's background is unfathomable; he's at least a God Rank expert. What he promised must be extraordinary."
When Su Zui got to this point, his expression suddenly turned serious.
Deep within her sea of consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's urgent yet wary voice rang out. "Xiao Zui, I sense an extremely terrifying aura rapidly approaching. Its strength is at least at the Super Douluo level!"
Su Zui's hair stood on end instantly, and his fingers gripping the Great Luo Sword Embryo tightened abruptly, his golden sword intent reaching its peak in an instant.
Qian Renxue also sensed the sudden, heavy pressure in the air. The slowly flowing Flaming Angel Holy Light abruptly stopped, and the twelve Angel wings tensed slightly. She looked at Su Zui, her golden eyes filled with vigilance. "Someone's coming?"
"It's Super Douluo."
Su Zui spoke in a deep voice, his Spiritual Power instantly spreading out, and his Spiritual Detection Sharing directly connected with Qian Renxue's Divine Soul.
"Be prepared. Their intentions are unclear. Once we make our move, we must not hold back."
As Su Zui finished speaking, an invisible ripple of mental energy silently spread outwards, passing through the thin mist in the forest, crossing the undulating wetlands, and extending towards the direction from which the aura was coming.
Qian Renxue's vision overlapped with Su Zui's, and the two of them, through Spiritual Detection, clearly saw the figure walking from the end of the dense forest.
The man wore a tattered black cloak, the edges of which were badly worn and stained with dirt and old bloodstains.
His messy black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, covering most of his face, revealing only his sharply defined jawline.
He held one hand loosely at his side, while a massive, rusty Clear Sky Hammer was supported behind him by his Soul Power. Dark red killing intent Entanglement around the hammer, the fierce aura accumulated from countless battles.
Tang Hao!
The moment Su Zui saw that face and that Clear Sky Hammer, the gentleness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent that surged from the very marrow of his bones.
It's him again, Tang Hao.
Last time, at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, this guy chased him relentlessly, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer with unbridled abandon. Back then, he hadn't grown strong yet and was almost driven to the brink of death, nearly dying in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Unexpectedly, this time when I entered the Star Dou Great Forest, I ran into this persistent old ghost again.
"It's Tang Hao." Su Zui's voice was as cold as iron frozen for a thousand years. The Great Luo Sword Embryo trembled slightly in his palm, and a deep sword hum emanated from it.
Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted, and then a tangible killing intent surged in her golden eyes.
Tang Hao was the culprit who caused Xiao Zui's Martial Soul to fall into depravity during his pursuit of her!
The Divine Slaughter's Domain erupted from the two of them almost simultaneously.
Two intense killing intents shot into the sky, pressing down on Tang Hao's location. The surrounding air seemed to freeze under this killing intent, the grass and trees along the lake bowed down, and fine ripples appeared on the water's surface.
In mid-air, the Divine Soul image of Electrolux, who was sitting cross-legged refining the Gold of Life, trembled slightly. His aged eyelids remained closed, leaving only a thought that entered Su Zui's sea of consciousness, "Child, go in peace. I'm here."
Su Zui nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
Tang Hao slowly walked out of the dense forest, his tattered black cloak fluttering in the murderous aura. His heavy footsteps trod on the decaying leaves, making little sound, yet with each step, the earth trembled slightly. His turbid gaze swept across the lake and immediately landed on Su Zui and Qian Renxue on the shore.
"You can all die now."
Tang Hao's voice was hoarse and rough, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other, carrying an indescribable deathly aura. He stared at Su Zui, his eyes surging with suppressed madness and determination. "I let you escape last time, but this time, I won't let you get away again."
His tone was laced with a despair that seemed to rot from the inside out.
The news that Qian Daoliu destroyed the Clear Sky Sect was like a knife, severing his entire spirit.
With the Clear Sky Sect gone and his clansmen either dead or scattered, Tang Hao had no more attachments in this world. Now, he had only one thought in his mind: to kill the two juniors from the Spirit Hall in front of him, then commit suicide to atone for his sins and go to the underworld to meet his dead clansmen.
The Clear Sky Hammer slowly rotated behind him, its rusty body gradually permeated with dark red Soul Power. The immense power spread out, causing the grass and trees by the lake to bend, and even the surface of the lake began to ripple uncontrollably.
"Tang Hao, you hunted me down last time, this time, I'll make you pay the price."
Su Zui held his sword horizontally in front of him, his Invincible Sword Domain layering up in the shadows, with thousands of sword energies hidden in the mist, forest, and lakebed, ready to unleash a thunderous strike at any moment.
Tang Hao raised his chin, his gaze icy, and said, word by word, "Unfortunately, today I'm the one who will kill you."
Qian Renxue stepped forward and stood side by side with Su Zui.
The Twelve-Winged Blazing Angel's wings were fully extended, golden holy light soared into the sky, and rich divine radiance shot straight into the clouds, unleashing the full pressure of God King level Martial Soul.
The Angel's power of light collided with Tang Hao's Berserk Haotian Soul Power, creating a series of muffled explosions in the air as the two forces repeatedly tore at each other above the lake.
Tang Hao stared at Qian Renxue, who had unfurled her twelve wings, his brow furrowing sharply, unable to contain his shock. "A twelve-winged Angel? It seems your talent surpasses even your father's and grandfather's. It's just a pity you'll die here today."
"The real surprise is yet to come." Su Zui stopped talking and his sword intent suddenly erupted. "Attack!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Su Zui launched the first attack.
The Invincible Sword Domain was fully activated, and the domain power covering the entire lake was compressed wildly. All the thousands of golden sword energies that were originally hidden in the mist, lake water, and forest were awakened at the same time.
These sword energies, like countless meteors, poured down on Tang Hao, tearing through the air and leaving behind a dense array of bright golden trails that almost completely blocked all of Tang Hao's escape routes.
Invincible Sword Domain, Second Form: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!
Tang Hao's expression changed drastically.
He could sense a deadly killing intent emanating from the sky filled with sword energy.
These sword energies seem to truly pose a threat to my life!
