Two Great Destiny Soul Skills

"After Golden Armor Burst was ignited by Spiritual Power and transformed into the Light Spear, the defense provided by the Golden Armor disappeared, while all attack power increased by five hundred percent!"

"The Light Spear could remain as a weapon for a long time.

"It could also be compressed into a critical state through Spiritual Power guidance, then thrown for long-range attacks."

"While flying, the Light Spear would continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Vital Energy and elemental power, growing larger until it became a torrent that pierced through the enemy."

Feeling the Soul Skill information conveyed by that Blood-Red Soul Ring,

Huo Yuhao could barely keep the corners of his mouth from twitching. Golden Armor paired with the Sun Wheel Spear—wasn't that Karna?

And that final ultimate move—wasn't it a localized Douluo Continent version of "O Sun, Abide by Death"?

Pure offense, no defense; the damage was unknown.

If one said it was unreasonable, these Soul Skills really could be connected to the Golden Tortoise.

But if one said it was reasonable, these two Soul Skills almost perfectly matched that Noble Phantasm from Huo Yuhao's memories of his previous life.

Huo Yuhao had always had a conjecture about Soul Skills. He had repeatedly read the Compendium of Soul Beasts and Soul Skills and discovered that Soul Skills depended on three factors.

Soul Beasts, Martial Souls, and human will.

Among them, the Soul Beast aspect outweighed the Martial Soul aspect, which outweighed human will.

The book indeed clearly documented cases where human will had distorted the effects of Soul Skills. However, no matter how much a Soul Skill was distorted, its effects could never stray from the inherent traits of the Soul Beast and Martial Soul themselves.

It had to be an extension born from combining a Soul Beast's innate ability with a Soul Master's Martial Soul.

Huo Yuhao roughly sensed the Soul Power Level within his body. Because of the Golden Tortoise's Sacrifice, he had reached level twenty-five.

In theory, the Golden Tortoise's Sacrifice should have allowed him to reach level thirty directly.

However, in order to preserve the Golden Tortoise's consciousness, most of its Spiritual Origin had been sealed within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hoped that this origin could help Huo Yuhao through the most difficult stretch from level ninety-five to level ninety-nine, and even the process of breaking through level one hundred.

Overall, though, Huo Yuhao was extremely satisfied with his Second Soul Skill.

This Soul Skill was his first percentage-based Soul Skill so far, and it perfectly made up for his shortcomings in long-range combat.

Just imagining his skill set, Huo Yuhao could come up with a whole pile of disgusting tactics.

The Sun Wheel Spear paired with Heavenly Sun Arrow's guaranteed hit would turn him directly into a nuclear sword immortal, unleashing a terrifying barrage of arrows.

When an enemy finally managed to close in and fight Huo Yuhao at close range, they would have to evade the erasure of the Remnant Dream Blade while struggling to break through the Golden Armor's defense.

Only to discover that beneath Huo Yuhao's Golden Armor was another layer of Kamui intangibility.

The enemy would probably start laughing midway through the fight.

Huo Yuhao's assessment of himself was that he was full of mechanical beauty.

His numbers had not risen at all yet due to his Soul Power Level, but for the short term, Tian Meng and the Golden Tortoise's origin could make up for that.

After receiving the Soul Skill information, the Shadow Cat controlled the surrounding airflow and slowly sent the Golden Tortoise Skull before Huo Yuhao.

The kitty was only a Hundred-Year Soul Beast and did not know what a Soul Bone was, but it knew that this dark golden bone was precious.

Precious things had to be given to its master first. They could not be snatched away by other bad things.

Huo Yuhao froze for a moment, then smiled and stroked the Shadow Cat, which was crouched beside him and watching him.

"As expected of a generous kitty. I didn't raise you for nothing."

The place the Golden Tortoise had chosen was extremely remote. The surroundings were filled with Ten-Year Soul Beasts, and not a single Hundred-Year one could be seen.

Ever since Di Tian had frightened this old turtle at the Lake of Life, it had been extremely timid. It had fled all the way to the most secluded area of the Outer Circle and did not even dare enter the inner parts of the Outer Circle.

It was terrified that Di Tian would detect its aura, dismantle its shell, and use it as a chamber pot.

So Huo Yuhao felt quite safe fusing the Soul Bone here. As usual, the Shadow Cat began standing guard around the area, driving away every Soul Beast.

If a powerful enemy attacked, it would immediately wake Huo Yuhao and interrupt the fusion process.

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the ground. Looking at the dark golden skull before him, he took a deep breath.

Judging by how Huo Yuhao had absorbed the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Emperor Scorpion torso bone in the original work,

The fusion process for a Fierce Beast's Soul Bone was exceptionally painful, especially for a skull bone.

After mentally preparing himself, Huo Yuhao pressed his forehead against the dark golden skull.

In an instant, the two erupted with golden light.

The two-hundred-thousand-year Golden Tortoise Skull slowly turned into a mass of liquid and merged into Huo Yuhao's body.

The liquid gently replaced Huo Yuhao's skull bit by bit.

There was not a trace of pain throughout the process. Instead, his mind felt clear and empty.

It felt like an exhausted office worker returning home after a long day, drinking a cup of warm milk, doing twenty minutes of gentle stretches, then immediately climbing into bed and sleeping soundly until naturally waking the next day.

Perhaps it was because Huo Yuhao's compatibility with this Soul Bone was simply too high.

About half an hour later, the Soul Bone had completely merged into Huo Yuhao's body.

The Soul Skills recorded within the Soul Bone also appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Just as the Golden Tortoise had said, they were Soul Skills related to Destiny!

And there were two of them!

"Skull First Soul Skill: Epitaph: Destiny keeps its secrets, while the world conceals the future."

"After Epitaph is activated, the user can see what will happen within the next ten seconds through Fate Lines."

"At the same time, it conceals the observed Destiny. Others cannot observe it, while the user can alter the observed Destiny. Soul Power consumption is low."

"Skull Second Soul Skill, Black Dice: Destiny is ruthless, yet it has its likes and dislikes."

"It plunges the enemy into misfortune. If the target's Soul Power Level is higher than the user's, the duration of the misfortune will be shortened, but it will never be less than three seconds."

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes. A layer of Rose Gold light covered eyes that seemed to contain a starry sky.

Everything that would happen to the Shadow Cat over the next ten seconds appeared clearly in his mind. If Huo Yuhao did not interfere, the Shadow Cat would follow this Fate Line forward.

"As expected of Destiny. Unfathomable and bizarre."

Only by personally experiencing the torrent of Destiny could one understand that this power was absolutely not something the mind could scheme against.

It was a Rule, the underlying logic.

If Tang Shenwang truly wanted to manipulate Destiny, then he could just wait for Destiny's retaliation.

Huo Yuhao patted himself down, shook the fallen leaves from his body, and prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for the Life Gold, he planned to have Elder Yi help him fuse it after returning to Passione Headquarters.

Fusing such a large piece of Life Gold might allow Di Tian to sense it.

He was extremely sensitive to the aura of Life Gold, having stayed at the Lake of Life for hundreds of thousands of years.

"Kamui!"

Huo Yuhao's body began to distort, then he was sucked into a Space Vortex and vanished from the Forest.

At the same time, in the Core Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, a Three-Eyed Beast three meters long and eight chi tall, with golden fur and dragon-like claws, abruptly opened her golden eyes.

A black-robed man with long black hair and two distinctive streaks of golden hair at his forehead came to her side. Looking at her gently, he said,

"Little one, what's wrong?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hugged her head and lay on the ground in confusion, her clear female voice ringing out. "How strange!"

"Destiny is drawing me in, telling me to search for something?"

"It hurts..."

A hazy human figure suddenly appeared in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao had just emerged from the Kamui Dimension, his feet not yet touching the ground.

Then he once again heard that voice, suspected to be the Plane Consciousness, telling him to head beyond the Dream Doorway.
