Dragon King Night Raid

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

At that moment, in an inn within a Small City, Huo Yuhao was softly bidding Huo Yun'er goodnight.

"Yuhao, remember to sleep early. Don't cultivate too late—you're still growing."

Huo Yuhao had changed his name at his own request.

Just as in his previous life, he did not like the surname "Dai," so he chose to rename himself Huo Yuhao. It was simply several years earlier this time.

After remaining silent for a moment, Huo Yun'er ultimately agreed to her son's wishes.

"Mother, you should rest early too!"

Huo Yuhao said with a smile. Only after watching Huo Yun'er close the door did he relax slightly.

Raising his hand, he attached an inconspicuous thread of Spiritual Power to the door before turning toward the room next door.

Three days ago, he had crippled First Madam and allowed her to taste despair. At the same time, he had more or less figured out the functions of the two Seeds of Emotion that had reincarnated with him, as well as the Eye of Destiny.

First, the Seed of Emotion could sense and absorb the emotions others felt toward Huo Yuhao. Whether those emotions were positive or negative, they could be absorbed by the Seed of Emotion.

Afterward, the Seed of Emotion would produce pure Power of Emotion to nourish Huo Yuhao in return, increasing either his Soul Power cultivation or physical strength.

Moreover, the body and Soul Power nurtured by the Power of Emotion seemed to have developed a passive domain effect.

Any being that approached him would find its emotions more easily stirred by Huo Yuhao and would be more likely to experience emotional fluctuations because of him.

Simply put, those who liked Huo Yuhao would like him even more, while those who feared him would fear him even more. Their emotions would deepen, then be harvested by the Seed of Emotion and converted into more Power of Emotion to strengthen his body. The domain effect would then grow stronger, creating a cycle.

Furthermore, once someone entered the range of his domain, Huo Yuhao could use his Spiritual Power to alter and control their emotions to a certain extent.

Combined with the Eye of Destiny's ability to see the threads of all things, he could even silently alter a person's common sense and perceptions.

As for the Eye of Destiny, which had become his Natal Divine Artifact, aside from its abilities to "see the threads of destiny of all things" and its innate Fate Concealment, the burden of its other abilities was too great for him to use for the time being.

When the servants entered First Madam's room the next day and discovered the crippled First Madam, the entire Duke's Mansion descended into chaos.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Huo Yuhao used Fate Concealment to temporarily reduce the attention directed at himself and his mother, then led her out of the Duke's Mansion.

Their destination was Shrek City.

—This was the result of Huo Yuhao's careful deliberation.

First of all, he was currently weak. Even if he exhausted himself to trigger the Eye of Destiny's power, he could at most kill a Titled Douluo. Naturally, he needed to choose a city with better public security.

On the Douluo Continent, cities with good security were nothing more than the capitals of the major empires and Shrek City.

Among them, Star Luo City was naturally the first to be ruled out. The Duke's Mansion was located outside Star Luo City, which was also within the Duke's Mansion's sphere of influence. The Dou Ling Empire was too weak, so Huo Yuhao excluded it as well.

That left Heaven Dou City and Shrek City. He was more familiar with Shrek City, and it was also beside the Star Dou Forest, making it convenient for him to find Brother Sky Dream and Elder Yi.

As for Mingdu, he would never go there before gaining sufficient strength. Right now, he did not have the confidence to face two Limit Douluo at once.

After calming his thoughts slightly, Huo Yuhao began examining his cultivation.

Level 2.

Although First Madam's Innate Soul Power had not been high, the quality of her Martial Soul and bloodline were both excellent, and she was also a Soul Ancestor.

The fear and dread born after her mind had been tortured to the brink of collapse, once fed back through the Seed of Emotion, had directly raised Huo Yuhao's cultivation from Level 1 to Level 2.

Part of the Power of Emotion had also been used to make up for the deficiencies his body had accumulated over the years and improve his innate aptitude.

Of course, this approach had its drawbacks.

Absorbing too many negative emotions would cause the Seed of Emotion's growth to lean more toward the negative. However, as long as he balanced it before reaching Soul Saint, there should not be any major problems.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao decided to quickly raise his cultivation to Level 10. At the very least, he needed to find Brother Sky Dream and Elder Yi first. That was the highest priority.

Gathering his focus, Huo Yuhao prepared to replace tonight's sleep with cultivation.

After Elder Yi's fine-tuning, the Mysterious Heaven Skill that he had modified during his spare time after becoming a god in his previous life now came into effect.

Although Tang San was selfish and narrow-minded, the Mysterious Heaven Skill itself was upright and balanced. It was highly suitable as a foundation for developing a cultivation method better suited to Huo Yuhao himself.

If I spread the improved Mysterious Heaven Skill, and Tang San sees it, wouldn't he provide enough resentment to send me straight to Titled Douluo?

The thought flashed through his mind before quickly fading away. A moment later, specks of golden fluorescence lit up across Huo Yuhao's body as he fully immersed himself in cultivation.

However, the Eye of Destiny in his Spiritual Sea was suddenly stirred. A strand of Power of Destiny naturally manifested and touched Huo Yuhao's mind, causing him to stop cultivating and open his eyes instinctively.

His azure eyes turned brilliant gold. The Eye of Destiny between his brows had already appeared, revealing a slight slit as it locked onto someone not far away.

"Greetings, Senior."

Huo Yuhao spoke softly to the empty space before him, his tone unreadable.

As his words fell, everything went silent.

Although nothing could be seen with the naked eye, from the Eye of Destiny's perspective, a silver-white dragon-shaped phantom stood where he was looking. Illusory yet tangible threads appeared around the phantom, winding around it.

The phantom paused slightly. After hesitating for a moment, an ethereal voice rang out.

"You know me?"

"I have heard of the Co-lord of Soul Beasts, but this is my first time seeing you."

He had heard of her existence from Snow Empress. When chatting with Brother Sky Dream, he had also heard mention of the "My Lord" that the ferocious beasts had spoken of during the time Brother Sky Dream had been imprisoned.

Or perhaps, in the memories he had exchanged with Qiu'er, he had once sensed her aura.

The golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes completely receded, and the Eye of Destiny between his brows vanished as well.

If the person before him had been a Limit Douluo, he might have been able to die together with them by risking his life to trigger the Natal Divine Artifact, the Eye of Destiny.

But the Co-lord of Soul Beasts before him was, judging by her aura, at least a Second-Rank Deity and most likely a First-Rank Deity.

What a joke. If he made a move, he would most likely be subdued on the spot, and afterward, she could arrange him in whatever position she wanted!

Of course, Huo Yuhao was not the type to sit and wait for death. More importantly, his Seed of Emotion had caught the emotions of this Co-lord of Soul Beasts—curiosity, confusion, interest.

They were pure, simple positive emotions, without any negative emotions such as killing intent.

For some reason, she gave Huo Yuhao the feeling that she would be easy to fool.

But precisely because of that, Huo Yuhao felt that things should be fine for now.

Yeah. Probably.
