At that moment, the heavens and earth changed once more.
It was not a god of Douluo Continent descending, but the return of the Necro-Saint Dharma God from a higher plane!
"With the sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars from the sky. None in this world can compare to me!"
Electrolux laughed loudly, his voice shaking the heavens.
He had come back to life!
And he had been resurrected in a way that transcended the laws of Douluo Continent, with a true physical body!
Within the Sky Screen, amid the interweaving of that gray aura that had shaken the ages and the Gold of Life, the figure of the Necro-Saint Dharma God, Electrolux, became completely solid. He was no longer a remnant soul that might dissipate at any moment. He now possessed a body as crystalline as jade, and every strand of his hair shimmered with a holy radiance beyond the mortal world.
"Teacher..." Huo Yuhao slowly rose to his feet. His face was pale from the tremendous exertion, but his silver eyes had never been brighter.
Electrolux stroked his beard, his gaze toward Huo Yuhao full of affection and pride.
"Yuhao, you did it. With a mortal body, you created a miracle beyond the reach of even the Divine Realm of your world. Good, good, good! You truly are the disciple of me, the Holy Necromancer, the Undead Scourge, Electrolux!"
At this moment, the Necro-Saint Dharma God finally revealed a domineering presence that even the God of Death would have scorned!
Du Busi, who had been watching from the sidelines, was already trembling with excitement. Seeing Electrolux's aura surpass the stature of a Limit Douluo, then looking at his disciple, who had truly come to rule all under heaven, he went weak at the knees. Forgetting his dignity as sect master, he dropped to one knee.
"Heavens bless the Body Sect... Heavens bless the Body Sect!" Du Busi threw his head back and shouted, tears streaming down his face.
He took a deep breath and, bracing his badly wounded and weakened body, drew a dark-gold sect master's token from his robes. It was engraved with countless diagrams of the body's hidden acupoints. He held it aloft in both hands.
"Yuhao, you have now reached the peak, and you have even resurrected this senior. This old man's battered body no longer has the strength to lead the Body Sect. Today, before the Sky Screen that spans all realms and the spirits of every ancestor of the Body Sect, I formally pass the position of sect master to you!"
Du Busi's voice echoed through the secret chamber and beyond the Sky Screen, reaching the ears of everyone across Douluo Continent.
"From this day forth, you are the new sect master of the Body Sect. Your title shall be—Body!"
Within the Sky Screen, Huo Yuhao did not refuse. He accepted the token, and a blood-deep connection welled up within him. In that instant, it seemed that the fortune of the entire Body Sect had settled upon his shoulders.
Watching the succession unfold in the Sky Screen, the people of the Body Sect in the real world felt a complicated, indescribable pang in their hearts.
"My successor, my successor! Huo Yuhao, I have to find you!"
In the real world, Du Busi slapped the armrest and exclaimed loudly.
"Teacher..."
Within the Sky Screen, Huo Yuhao looked at the aged Du Busi and sighed softly. With a tap of his fingertip, the remaining Gold of Life transformed into a dense green radiance and flowed into Du Busi's body.
"Teacher, you have devoted your life to the sect. This Gold of Life is more than enough to heal your hidden injuries and extend your life by a hundred years. Also..."
Silver light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a profound, abstruse stream of information entered Du Busi's mind. "This is the essence of the 'Third Awakening of the Body' that I comprehended: becoming a world unto yourself and breaking through the shackles of mortality."
"Your Second Awakening has already reached the highest level, Gold. You've laid the best possible foundation. If you master the Third Awakening, even a Limit Douluo may not be the end of your path!"
Du Busi stood there, stunned into silence by the vast ocean of knowledge. So this was the secret of the Body Martial Soul's Third Awakening?
I see. That's how it is. It should be this way!
"Haha, hahahahaha..."
Within the Sky Screen, Du Busi suddenly burst into laughter, as if many mysteries had suddenly become clear to him. Outside the Sky Screen, the real Du Busi stared at his counterpart in the other world, his eyes bloodshot with envy.
It felt like an ordinary man watching another version of himself in a different world win the lottery, become a billionaire, and rise to fame and fortune, while he himself remained mired in an ordinary life. No, it felt even worse!
At that moment, Du Busi would have gladly died the very next instant if only he could comprehend the essence of the Third Awakening!
"Let's go, Elder Yi." Huo Yuhao turned, his gaze cold as he looked north. "On that cloud-wreathed peak, there are still old scores I need to settle myself."
Behind him, a girl with pink-and-blue hair was being led by icy chains. Her once bright eyes were now empty, and crystalline drool hung from the corner of her mouth as she murmured indistinct, jumbled words.
Most shocking of all, her slender belly had begun to swell. It was the result of Huo Yuhao's "Divine Bloodline Procreation Experiment."
It seemed that after the seal was shattered, the body of the God King's daughter was not all that different after all.
It had taken hardly any experimenting at all to make her belly swell. But the pure life energy within her womb, her exceptionally abundant innate essence, and even the wisps of Immortal Spirit Qi that had naturally emerged were truly beyond what an ordinary fetus could possess.
The Clear Sky Sect, shrouded in clouds and mist, was a secluded haven hailed as the greatest sect under heaven.
When Huo Yuhao and Electrolux appeared atop Clear Sky Peak, the Soul Power throughout the mountain seemed to freeze.
"Huo Yuhao! We haven't come looking for you, yet you dare show your face at Clear Sky Peak! You're asking for death!"
Two roars exploded like thunder. Tai Tan and Niu Tian—the two unfathomable sect masters of the Clear Sky Sect, known to few on the continent—stood at the cliff's edge, their fury blazing.
But when their eyes fell on the pink-and-blue-haired girl behind Huo Yuhao, their faces instantly turned deathly pale, then twisted with earth-shaking rage.
"Xiao Qi! You... How could you torment her like this?!"
Tai Tan stared at Wang Dong'er—Xiao Qi—looking like a fool, and especially at her swollen belly. His muscles bulged with rage, as if blood might seep from his skin.
"Beast! She is that person's daughter! How dare you do such a depraved thing to her! You're nothing but a demon and a heretic, utterly insane, and you're asking for death! Aren't you afraid that not just the Body Sect, but all of Douluo Continent, will be dragged down with you?"
Niu Tian stared coldly at Huo Yuhao, killing intent plain in his eyes.
"Huo Yuhao, you have no idea what you're doing. You're not only courting death; you're dragging the entire Body Sect down with you to pay for your madness! You insects cannot withstand a god's wrath!"
Outside the Sky Screen, everyone watched the scene with an odd feeling.
