Life Watch

The moment the light fell upon the Death Phantom, a teeth-gritting sound erupted, and the phantom began to dim.

The God of Death was furious. He waved his hand to summon a massive, blood-colored bone scythe and struck it fiercely toward Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, the eyes of the white phantom behind Huo Yuhao manifested the brilliant golden light of the Spirit Eye, and the staff transformed from Tian Meng in his hand became imbued with the power of destiny.

Huo Yuhao used the staff to block the scythe's attack. Under the indestructible properties granted by the power of destiny, the two sides fell into a stalemate in the sky.

Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity to once again borrow the Eye of Life to gather seven-colored life energy, launching an attack at the Death Phantom.

The power of life and the death attribute of the God of Death were naturally antagonistic. Now, under the influence of the Douluo plane, Huo Yuhao held a natural advantage in terms of laws and attributes.

Left with no choice, the God of Death had to use the resentment he had accumulated over many years on the Douluo Continent to manifest a pool of blood, temporarily holding off the attack.

As the two sides continued to clash, the power of faith brought to Huo Yuhao by the many souls and the resentment the God of Death had secretly collected while lurking on the Douluo Continent were both being consumed at a rapid pace.

Seeing that he could not overcome Huo Yuhao for the time being, the God of Death felt a hint of retreat.

"The battle between us now benefits neither of us. Why don't we just withdraw? I will return to my original God Realm, and you can save some of your power of faith to serve as the foundation for becoming a god in the future."

Once these words were spoken, Tang San, who was in the God Realm, nodded in satisfaction. This avatar of the God of Death was quite good at hiding; even he hadn't realized there was an avatar of a first-tier god from another world on the Douluo Continent.

Now that Huo Yuhao, whom he favored, had driven the avatar away, it could be considered his own achievement.

However, Huo Yuhao's response exceeded the expectations of both Tang San and the God of Death.

"Things have reached this point, and ten thousand people are dead. Do you think you can just come and go as you please? I have promised those departed souls that I would avenge them. Today, I will certainly kill this avatar of yours to give them justice."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao accelerated the mobilization of the Life Gold's life force, using part of it to convert into the power of destiny to reinforce his staff, while strengthening the intensity of his seven-colored attack with the rest.

The scythe in the God of Death's hand was gradually being parried, and the blood pool was melting at the speed of light.

Seeing this, the God of Death was instantly enraged. "You are truly a madman! Since those souls have already entrusted their faith to you, why bother with promises? Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"

The God of Death could not understand Huo Yuhao's reason for consuming the power of faith. Wouldn't it be better to save it for when he became a god in the future? Why must he fight him to the death?

Tang San was also frowning deeply at this moment. After all, this Death Phantom was an avatar of a first-tier god.

He was currently only avoiding the use of law-based power to prevent his location from being discovered within the Douluo plane. If the fight continued, it would be beyond what Huo Yuhao could withstand.

If he were to intervene and destroy the avatar, the God of Destruction would inevitably sense the traces of his actions, and then Huo Yuhao would no longer be able to remain hidden.

Just as Tang San prepared to have Niu Tian and Titan go to assist, the God of Death swung his scythe horizontally, instantly summoning a small world.

"Kid, today I will show you my true strength."

Tens of thousands of undead creatures surged out of the small world, swarming toward Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, tens of thousands of departed souls appeared around Huo Yuhao, disturbing his divine consciousness.

"Elder Electrolux, please, leave these undead to you."

Huo Yuhao gave the instruction within his Spirit Sea and, ignoring everything else, struck the God of Death with his staff the moment the god swung his scythe.

"Rest assured, Yuhao, leave these to me."

Electrolux chanted a spell within the Spirit Sea and summoned the Undead Demi-plane. Instantly, an equal number of undead bearing the aura of light began to clash with the undead of the God of Death.

Under the illumination of Electrolux's Light of Purification, the resentment of the departed souls surrounding Huo Yuhao began to be purified one after another. Instead of attacking Huo Yuhao, they headed toward his gray-gold soul ring.

The more they fought, the more astonished the God of Death became. His undead, being suppressed by the light attribute, were no match for the light-based undead at all.

That alone would have been fine, but every undead that fell was purified by the power of light, turning into a light-based undead and turning their blades against him.

The departed souls he had summoned not only failed to cause trouble for Huo Yuhao, but instead helped him increase his power of faith.

"Impossible! This is the aura of first-tier laws. How can you have the laws of a first-tier god?"

The world where Electrolux resided restricted him from becoming a god; otherwise, he would have long since condensed his own godhood, and at the very least, he would have achieved a first-tier god position.

How could the God of Death, who could only use incomplete first-tier god laws, compare to Electrolux in terms of pure law mastery?

Seeing that the God of Death was about to be defeated, Huo Yuhao did not relax. Now was the time for the god to fight to the bitter end; it was the most dangerous moment.

"Fine, fine, fine, kid. Since you want to fight to the death today, don't expect to have an easy time either."

As he spoke, the avatar of the God of Death actually burned his own divine consciousness, exerting the law of death with all his might. He infused it into the scythe and unleashed a black offensive toward Huo Yuhao.

Sensing that this strike had reached the intensity of a first-tier god's attack, Huo Yuhao merely chuckled.

"You underestimate the power of these ordinary people too much. The faith of ten million ordinary people can forge the immortal godhood of a first-tier god. With these tens of thousands of souls you provided, the outcome is still uncertain."

Huo Yuhao recalled Tian Meng to his Spirit Sea, and the Blade of Life Watch emerged from between his brows.

Grasping the Blade of Life Watch, which had grown to the size of a Tang Dao, Huo Yuhao gathered the expectations and visions of all the departed souls into it. Using the momentum he had realized as a catalyst, he swung his blade as well.

The attacks from both sides collided, feeling somewhat evenly matched. But as time passed, the power of faith in Huo Yuhao's blade was consumed rapidly, while the God of Death's consciousness had yet to be exhausted.

Just as Huo Yuhao sighed softly, preparing to disregard the backlash and use ten thousand years of luck to reverse the situation, the ten thousand souls that had been purified earliest gave up their chance at reincarnation and burned their own souls.

In his mind, people of different ages, genders, and personalities appeared, bowing to thank him. Huo Yuhao's momentum finally underwent a transformation, and a more powerful momentum slowly formed.

"The retribution of good and evil that I seek is not just for it to fall upon myself; I also hope it falls upon all living beings."

"If I become a god one day, all who turn their hearts toward the light shall be watched over by me."

When Huo Yuhao was not paying attention, the Divine Abyss suddenly flashed with dazzling light, spreading toward the surroundings.

As this light spread throughout Huo Yuhao's entire Spirit Sea, the momentum that could not have been condensed by ten thousand souls alone instantly solidified.

"God of Death, it is time for you to exit. In my era, there is no place for Evil Soul Masters."

As Huo Yuhao's voice fell, the blade, gathering the momentum of the Life Watch, shattered the God of Death's scythe and completely extinguished the god's consciousness.

The two phantoms on the Mingdou Mountain Range began to dissipate slowly. The seven-colored halo behind Huo Yuhao also gradually faded, returning him to an ordinary level-50 soul master with extreme attributes.
