Douluo: Founding the Heavenly Court from the Holy Spirit Cult

At the same time, there was a sense of regret and frustration; the last defeat had been far too stifling.

"I'll be very lonely without you as my punching bag."

She had been working twice as hard these past few days, finally mastering the Ring Fusion, and was just preparing to take her revenge when this bastard announced he was leaving.

"This time, I'm heading out with the beautiful lady to take revenge on the Strength Clan. If I happen to run into anyone from Shrek, I'll clear them out while I'm at it."

Yang Hao had no intention of coddling that girl.

"How could you be like this!"

"You're so petty!"

Ma Xiaotao was driven to distraction; she couldn't believe how shameless he could be.

"I am merely stating a fact."

Yang Hao's expression was indifferent, though he felt quite pleased inside.

Sure enough, Master Lu was right: happiness built upon the suffering of others is the only true happiness.

"Let's go!"

Seeing the young man drive the girl to the brink of madness once again, Feng Ling, who was watching from the side, smiled and urged them on.

"I'll bring back the corpses of those Shrek people for you to use as punching bags."

Waving his hand in farewell, Yang Hao followed Feng Ling as she departed.

Trailing behind them were Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare. Wan Hun had long since pledged his loyalty to Yang Hao, the Holy Son, while Sleep Nightmare had been recommended by Wan Hun; the two were close friends.

Wan Hun needed souls to increase his strength, while Sleep Nightmare needed to devour the mental energy and negative emotions of others; their Martial Souls were a perfect match.

Furthermore, the ongoing research into Soul Spirits required a Spirit Master like Sleep Nightmare to assist with mental aspects, so Yang Hao had taken him in.

Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling had no objections to this; after all, Yang Hao was the Holy Son, and he certainly needed some subordinates of his own.

"You wouldn't dare!"

Ma Xiaotao was anxious—truly anxious—and silently prayed that he wouldn't run into anyone from the academy.

Feng Ling brought Yang Hao away from the headquarters, first sneaking into the Evil Demon Forest to hunt insect-type soul beasts, specifically those of the spider variety.

Next came the elemental soul beasts, used to enhance Yang Hao's Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone—not just the bone itself, but the elemental power within it.

After taking Yang Hao as her disciple, Ye Xishui had ordered them to locate and lock onto the habitats of these soul beast clans, preparing for the hunt and consumption.

Thanks to the Holy Spirit Cult's exhaustive search, they had already traversed every major soul beast forest, keeping detailed records.

This time, the pair only needed to follow the marked locations to harvest them one by one, which would be much faster.

It was here that the effect of the Gold of Life became apparent; the consumption of the Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone was not perfect and could not be fully refined.

Even with the chaos attribute, it could only serve as a vessel, but the Gold of Life possessed a powerful corrosive effect.

One only had to look at that Golden Hawksbill Turtle to know; it had been consumed in reverse by the Gold of Life, its cultivation and life force drained away until it was nearly withered.

All that power had become a part of the Gold of Life, becoming exceptionally pure.

It was the same now; the chaotic power absorbed was eroded and assimilated by the Gold of Life, and anything that could not be absorbed was expelled, keeping the Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone in a state of constant purity. This undoubtedly raised the limits and potential of the consumption significantly.

They spent a month clearing out the Evil Demon Forest before heading to other small and medium-sized soul beast gathering spots on the Sun Moon Continent, including the location of the Blue Silver Emperor.

When Yang Hao arrived at the Blue Silver Valley at the agreed-upon time, Ye Xishui was already waiting there, with the half-dead Blue Silver Emperor at her side.

This Blue Silver Emperor had already survived three heavenly tribulations and belonged to the level of a Fierce Beast; taking it down was no easy feat, which was why Ye Xishui had acted personally this time.

"Teacher!"

Seeing Ye Xishui, Yang Hao hurried forward to pay his respects.

"Supreme Sect Leader!"

Feng Ling and the others followed suit, bowing in greeting.

"Begin."

Ye Xishui signaled; she had come personally to suppress this Blue Silver Emperor.

"Yes, Teacher."

Yang Hao did not hesitate in the slightest, unfolding the Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone from his back and manipulating the wood-attribute spider leg to pierce the Blue Silver Emperor's body, beginning the consumption.

The Blue Silver Emperor was already crippled and had no way to resist, forced to watch helplessly as it was devoured.

He even utilized the connection of the Blue Silver Emperor's root system to drain the life force and soul power of all the Blue Silver Grass throughout the entire valley.

As the consumption finished, golden patterns appeared on the wood-attribute spider leg, identical to those of the Blue Silver Emperor, and the soul bone skill within was guided to be replaced, becoming the Blue Silver Domain.

Beyond that, the thunder-spirit power the Blue Silver Emperor had obtained from resisting the heavenly tribulations was transferred into the thunder-attribute spider leg.

"Wan Hun, Sleep Nightmare."

Finally, he signaled to Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare; the soul and mental energy of the Blue Silver Emperor could not be wasted.

"Yes, Holy Son!"

Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare stepped forward excitedly, activating their Martial Soul Avatars to harvest and consume the soul and mental energy of the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor's cultivation is too high, and her soul is extremely powerful. She is far stronger than Tai Jingang from last time. I need to activate my Martial Soul True Body to subdue her.

The same applies to soul power devouring. Sleep Nightmare needs to activate his Martial Soul True Body to swallow it, and it will take a long time to digest.

"Use the One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul Possession to refine this Soul Bone."

Ye Xishui took out an eye-shaped Soul Bone at this moment and signaled her disciple to refine it.

With the boost of this Soul Bone to his mental power, his disciple's Soul Bone devouring and evolution plan would surely be smoother.

As soon as the eye Soul Bone appeared, it displayed powerful mental power, making Feng Ling and the other two feel immense pressure.

Chapter 41: Child of Destiny

"Eye Soul Bone? Evil Emperor?"

Yang Hao was stunned and immediately thought of the Evil Emperor among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts. That one produced an eye Soul Bone, an evolvable External Soul Bone, and was also the key to Huo Yuhao's future forehead vertical eye evolving into a divine artifact.

Could it be that the Evil Emperor was killed by Teacher?

With Teacher's current strength plus the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, or the Angelic Holy Sword, it was indeed possible to kill him.

Ten thousand years ago, God King Tang wielded the Sea God Trident and killed the million-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. At that time, Tang San's Soul Power Level wasn't even level ninety-nine.

"It is indeed that Evil Emperor's. He is very strong, and I couldn't kill him with my own strength."

Ye Xishui nodded. She had been eyeing the Evil Emperor's Soul Ring for a long time. She couldn't kill him by herself, but it was different with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe. Coupled with a surprise attack when he was unprepared, she killed him in one blow without causing much commotion.

Even the Evil Emperor's Son was killed and became her Soul Ring.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Yang Hao happily took the eye Soul Bone, activated the One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul Possession, and a horizontal eye appeared on his forehead.

He attached the eye Soul Bone and guided his soul power to refine it.

Although he had separated the One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul, he could still possess it, but it placed a great burden on his body and consumed a lot of energy.

The refinement of the eye Soul Bone went smoothly. There were no residual souls or lingering thoughts within, likely because Ye Xishui had cleaned them up.

After all, Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demon Puppet itself had the ability to devour and control souls, and Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Divine Power was also skilled at controlling souls. Under the watch of these two, there was no possibility for the Evil Emperor to play any tricks.

As the eye Soul Bone was refined, the powerful mental power within boosted Yang Hao, increasing his mental power by tens of thousands of times.

After all, this was the accumulation of the Evil Emperor over hundreds of thousands of years. It was mainly because Yang Hao's current mental cultivation was too poor that there was such a gap of tens of thousands of times, even with diligent practice of the Purple Demon Eye.

"Teacher, I have successfully refined it."

Feeling the vast power within the Evil Emperor's eye Soul Bone, Yang Hao was very excited.

Moreover, after the refinement was completed, this eye had merged with Yang Hao. It would not disappear even when he deactivated the One-Eyed Vajra Martial Soul Possession state. It even had visual abilities, seeing more clearly than his two eyes.

However, the Soul Skill within was temporarily unknown, as it was sealed. This was also the main reason why he could refine it so easily.

"Complete the devouring plan as soon as possible. There will be a surprise when we get back."

Ye Xishui pinched her disciple's cheek, said something, and flew away.

She had been very busy during this period, needing to find those super Soul Beasts to hunt and turn them into Soul Rings.

A while ago, she discovered a million-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale in the sea. After discussing with Bibi Dong's divine sense, she decided to replace it with the seventh Soul Ring of her first Martial Soul to maximize the quality of the Blood Soul Demon Puppet.

Its Whale Pearl Soul Core could also serve as the core foundation for forging divine artifacts. Ten thousand years ago, the Sea God Tang San used the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Whale Pearl to reshape the Sea God's Heart, which was enough to prove the potential of a million-year Soul Beast's Soul Core.

However, the strength of a million-year Soul Beast was not ordinary. It would require the use of divine artifacts and perfect preparation.

When she returned with the Soul Ring and Soul Bone, she would give them to her disciple to devour, which would definitely help elevate the Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone to the million-year level and open the path to godhood for him.

She now had the confidence to cultivate to level 100 and become a demigod, which would greatly increase her lifespan, allowing her to live for at least a thousand years. If she collected enough Faith Power, she could even create her own divine position and become a god.

She hoped that this disciple could also become a god, so he could live as long as herself, so she wouldn't have to watch her beloved disciple grow old and die in the future.

"Supreme Sect Leader has changed so much."

Feng Ling looked at the young man, truly unable to understand how he had achieved this.

The former Supreme Sect Leader was sinister and vicious, and her moods were unpredictable. Even she and Zhongli Wu feared her.

But in the past three years, they could clearly feel the change in her. She was no longer so cold, and even had a gentle demeanor.

And the source of all this was this young man. She really didn't understand how he had done it.

Yang Hao remained silent. He had indeed made some efforts in this regard, but more importantly, Ye Xishui's original nature was kind. It was only because of her subsequent experiences that she had gone to extremes, very similar to Bibi Dong ten thousand years ago.

He had merely helped to bring out this kind, original nature.

After devouring the Blue Silver Emperor, Yang Hao and the other three left the Sun Moon Empire and entered the Far North of the Douluo Continent. The Far North was vast, and it took them three months to circle it before heading south into the Sunset Forest. By the time of the New Year, they continued south to Star Luo City.

The ancestral land of the Strength Clan was located next to Star Luo City. They chose the New Year period to come because the Strength Clan would hold ancestral worship at this time, and all clan members would return.

Moreover, the main livelihood of the Strength Clan members was staying at home and forging iron. Not many clan members were out and about, so they could all be gathered together.

They didn't make a move immediately because there were still a few days before the Strength Clan's ancestral worship day.

Feng Ling suggested relaxing for a few days. They had been living rough for this period, and the child had been constantly honing himself through killing and devouring, accumulating a terrifying killing intent. He needed a break.

But Yang Hao came to the White Tiger Duke Mansion. As he got closer, he could faintly sense a vast destiny lurking there. He assumed it was Huo Yuhao, the child of destiny.
