Immaculate Golden Body, Dragon God Bloodline? Reshaping the True Body!
While Heaven Blessed Douluo was contemplating life, Huo Yuhao's true form, having resolved the Abyss issue, also arrived in the Undead Plane.
Under the blue sky, the land stretches to the horizon, teeming with both life and the dead.
His Divine Consciousness Clone had already been waiting here with the Devil Emperor in hand. The two figures stood one in front of the other on the grassland.
Upon seeing the main body arrive, the Divine Consciousness Clone nodded slightly, then transformed into a golden ray of light and silently merged into Huo Yuhao's body, returning all that it had seen and heard.
Only the Devil Emperor remained in the spot.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao's true form arrive, the Devil Emperor's Divine Body trembled noticeably, clearly indicating his unease about what was to come.
"What... what do you want to do?" The Devil Emperor saw Huo Yuhao reach out to grab him, and his unease reached its peak. He wanted to self-destruct and end it all.
But he hadn't died even when facing Huo Yuhao's Divine Consciousness, let alone facing Huo Yuhao himself.
Huo Yuhao swept his Divine Consciousness, halting the self-destruction process. Without replying, he grabbed the Devil Emperor and thrust his Divine Consciousness sense into the Possession Demon's consciousness, beginning a soul search.
One of the reasons for keeping the Devil Emperor alive was for this very moment.
Instantly, the Devil Emperor's experiences flooded into Huo Yuhao's mind like scenes from a movie.
Born in the Abyss, it attacks the Douluo Plane.
At the request of the Abyssal Sage King, he cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult and smuggled himself into the Douluo Plane with his companions.
While assisting the Demon Empress in collecting Divinity Fragment within the Forbidden Zone alongside members of the Holy Spirit Cult, he unexpectedly encountered Heaven Blessed Douluo was exploring and training within the Forbidden Zone, pursuing the realm of Quasi-God. Using the Demon Empress's power, he seized his body—
Huo Yuhao's eye twitched at the sight.
It's just bad luck that Heavenly Spine Douluo was controlled by the Possession Demon.
This luck is unbelievable.
He felt it was necessary to change the Titled Douluo Heaven Blessed Douluo.
Even without the Possession Demon, his experiences in the original story don't align with the concept of Tianjuan. Leaving aside his love triangle with Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue, at his peak, he was unlucky enough to run into Ha Luosa, the favored one of the planes, and was elbowed twice by Ha Luosa.
One minor injury, the other a lose-lose situation.
In the original story, he didn't live as long as Long Yeyue, which may be because he suffered a hidden injury after being elbowed by Ha Luosa a second time.
After all, although the original work doesn't seem to mention the cause of his death, it's really unlikely that anyone other than the Holy Spirit Cult would have the motive and ability to kill a Demigod — Chen Xinjie couldn't possibly have killed him just because he married Long Yeyue, could he? Chen Xinjie shouldn't be that crazy.
However, if it was those few people from the Holy Spirit Cult who killed the Heaven Blessed Douluo, they would most likely mention it in the introduction, after all, killing a Demigod and the Sea God Pavilion Master is a glorious achievement.
Since it wasn't mentioned, the most likely explanation is a recurrence of old injuries, leading to natural death. (Note: In the original novel of Tianjuan, it seems he died of natural causes. Counting back forty years from when Tang Wulin was eighteen would be the time of his death. This timing is somewhat subtle; it wouldn't be surprising Limit in poor condition died in their two-hundredth year.)
Furthermore, it is suspected that Heaven Blessed Douluo had no children after marrying Long Yeyue.
Such experiences and luck don't really seem to fit the description of being favored by Tianjuan.
Of course, from a consequentialist perspective, the original novel's Heaven Blessed Douluo died young, so he didn't experience the destruction of the Shrek or those abstract events. If this can be considered a kind of favor from heaven, then it makes sense.
Huo Yuhao inwardly scoffed, but remained outwardly calm. He continued to peruse the Devil Emperor's memories—he already knew the general outline of what followed: after being possessed, the Heaven Blessed Douluo lived in a daze for decades, becoming a tool of the Holy Spirit Cult, until he was finally rescued today.
He skipped over those memories and went straight to searching the Devil Emperor's memories for information about the Holy Spirit Cult.
Information about the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly flooded in like a tidal wave.
Huo Yuhao steadied himself and quickly sifted through the information. The location of the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters in Dou Ling, its distribution of power, and its high-level combat strength—each and every detail was clearly presented before his eyes.
This is the Devil Emperor's greatest value. As a bridge between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Abyss, and a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult, he knows far too much information.
Moreover, all of it is valuable intelligence.
In the original story, only one high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult, Dark Phoenix, was captured. She could only be considered a quasi-high-ranking member. Later, she was used to exchange for the remnant soul of Qingtian and was sent back to the Holy Spirit Cult. The Douluo Continent side did not obtain much intelligence.
It's clearly different from the original story now.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to delve deeper into the memories and uncover the secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult, a subtle restriction was triggered. The Devil Emperor's expression froze, then he burst into laughter, "Hahaha, the restriction set by the God of Slaughter has been triggered! You won't have a chance to see the rest of the information!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Devil Emperor trembled violently, and a purplish-black light exploded from within, like a firework being lit—the hidden restriction was not protecting memories, but rather—destruction!
As the representative of the cooperation between the Abyss and the Holy Spirit Cult, he initially had no restrictions on his body. After all, he was essentially the highest-ranking person in the Abyss within the Douluo Plane; who had the authority to place restrictions on him?
No one else has the right to do so except himself.
However, as Possession Demon, before the version update, no one could hurt him, let alone capture him, so there was no need to set a restriction on himself.
Therefore, he was not under any restrictions at the time.
However, with the emergence of divine reincarnations and the gradual entry of this world into the divine era, the high-ranking members of their Holy Spirit Cult are no longer as safe as before, and there is a risk of being captured by the divine and having their intelligence leaked.
So he went to the God of Slaughter God of Slaughter asked him to place a restriction on him.
After all, his own strength was insufficient, and the restrictions he set might be discovered and broken by the gods. It would be better to let the God of Slaughter set them up and get it right the first time.
He originally thought that even if this restriction were to be triggered, it would be close to the final battle, but he never expected that he would suffer a Waterloo so soon.
but----
"If I can make you, a god, work for nothing, then my life will have been worthwhile!"
Just as the Devil Emperor was about to mock this god at the last moment, he saw that the other's gaze was utterly calm.
Huo Yuhao watched the Devil Emperor about to explode, and without changing his expression, he raised his hand and waved it.
The Reincarnation Domain suddenly unfolded.
A grayish-white light radiated outwards from him.
The instant the Devil Emperor exploded, within the domain, time flowed backward like a river, and the purplish-black light spots reassembled from their scattered state, as the Devil Emperor's disintegrated body gradually returned to its original state.
A moment later, the Devil Emperor hovered in mid-air, looking completely bewildered. His Divine Body was perfectly intact, as if the self-destruction had never happened.
He looked down at his hands, then looked up at Huo Yuhao, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
What the hell is going on? Time travel?
Aren't you the Fire God? How can you control the Power of Time?
"If I don't want you to die, you won't die." At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally spoke, his voice not loud, but it struck the Devil Emperor's heart like a heavy hammer.
"You----you----" The Devil Emperor trembled with rage.
I've never seen such an outrageous person before, able to be brought back from the dead to continue gathering intelligence.
Unable to die or escape, they were forced to hand over various intelligence, a situation that drove the demon to despair.
Huo Yuhao ignored the despairing Devil Emperor and continued to gather intelligence.
Devil Emperor began the endless cycle of "self-destruction-resurrection-self-destruction-resurrection".
While the Reincarnation Domain is useful, it reverses the state of time, so the restrictions within the Devil Emperor's body are restored each time he is resurrected.
However, the restriction set by the God of Slaughter is triggered by touching the core secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult. Even if you only see a little bit each time, you will eventually see it all after a few visits.
Huo Yuhao didn't mind the trouble; he just wanted the Devil Emperor to explode a few more times.
Devil Emperor: I protest! What about my human rights as a prisoner?!
Huo Yuhao: Protest invalid, continue.
A few minutes later, having obtained all the information, Huo Yuhao released the Devil Emperor, seemingly lost in thought.
Based on the information gathered by the Devil Emperor, Huo Yuhao gained a clear understanding of the Holy Spirit Cult.
The Holy Spirit Cult is currently divided into two main factions.
One faction, led by the Demon Empress and the Ghost Emperor, uses the power of the Abyss in an attempt to become gods. This faction's main force is located on the Star Luo Continent, and most of the powerful figures in the Holy Spirit Cult are under their command.
Another faction, led by the God of Slaughter and the Devil Emperor, wants to use the power of the Holy Spirit Cult to bring down the Abyss Plane, with the intention of destroying everything.
The main force of this faction is on the Dou Ling Continent, but its subordinate forces are not actually strong. Only a small number of Evil Spirit Master want to completely join the Abyss, so many operations that require manpower still have to rely on the Holy Spirit Cult.
The reason for this situation is that the God of Slaughter has not openly supported the Devil Emperor and the Abyss. In the eyes of many, the God of Slaughter's stance is uncertain, and his thoughts are unfathomable. Otherwise, the Holy Spirit Cult would probably be in chaos first.
While the two factions cooperated with each other, they were also wary of one another.
This is why, even though the Devil Emperor held a high position in the Holy Spirit Cult, he did not have complete information about the Star Luo Empire side.
Fortunately, the Dou Ling Continent was basically under his control, and the intelligence he possessed was quite considerable.
Currently, the most noteworthy figures on the Dou Ling Continent are the God of Slaughter and the Demon Empress.
The two most elite combat forces of the Holy Spirit Cult are currently over there.
However, neither of them really got involved. In fact, the Demon Empress was there to monitor the Devil Emperor in a way, which is why the Devil Emperor was able to become the person in charge of the Dou Ling Continent.
Otherwise, even if the Devil Emperor wanted to take charge, his strength wouldn't allow it.
The Demon Empress stayed there not only to keep an eye on the Devil Emperor to prevent him from acting recklessly, but also to oversee the establishment of the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array.
"Are they actually planning to build a Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array in both Heaven Dou City and Dou Ling City of Dou Ling?"
Thinking of the Devil Emperor's memories of core secrets, Huo Yuhao frowned.
Heaven Dou City is the capital of the Dou Ling Empire and the political and economic heart of the entire empire; Dou Ling City is a historical city named in memory of the founding ancestor of the Dou Ling Empire.
Both cities are densely populated metropolises in the Dou Ling Empire, each with millions of people, so it is not surprising that they were chosen as the locations for the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array.
With the population base of the Dou Ling Continent, it is sufficient to support the operation of the two large formations.
Such behavior is utterly despicable. However, trying to reason with Evil Spirit Master about humanity and morality is like casting pearls before swine. Given the chance, they would probably gladly sacrifice the entire Douluo Plane in blood.
"Fortunately, with this intelligence, destroying these two Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array will be much easier."
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief and began to sort through other important intelligence.
The Devil Emperor's memories also contained the Holy Spirit Cult's strategic plan—they intended to wait until the war between the Star Luo Empire and the Douluo Federation reached its climax, the war was difficult to stop, and even Star Luo Empire was crippled, before opening the Abyss Passage at the Dou Ling Blood Sacrifice to begin the final battle, making the Dou Ling Continent the final battlefield.
The core objective of this plan is to completely bind Star Luo Empire to the war machine, allowing it to play its due role in attrition, and preventing Star Luo Empire from surrendering or withdrawing from the war if things turn unfavorable.
After all, sacrificing the entire Dou Ling Continent with blood is still too terrifying. If the Star Luo Empire faction knew that the Holy Spirit Cult planned to do this, it's not impossible that they would back down.
Of course, the Holy Spirit Cult also has some other ulterior motives, such as using war to harvest souls and enhance the strength of the Holy Spirit Cult's powerful members.
For Evil Spirit Master who enhance themselves through unorthodox methods, the longer the war lasts, the more benefits they gain.
In addition, he also obtained some other important information from the Devil Emperor.
Such as the divine Divine Tool obtained by the Holy Spirit Cult, the God of Slaughter's willingness to serve as a vessel for the Abyssal Sage King, the collection of most of the fragments of the Sea God Divine Spark —and Chen Xinjie's Divine Consciousness captured by the Holy Spirit Cult.
This intelligence report contained a great deal of information, and several pieces of it surprised Huo Yuhao.
The fact that the God of Slaughter was willing to be a vessel and that Chen Xinjie's Divine Consciousness was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult were the two things that surprised him the most.
However, since the God of Slaughter is willing to serve as the vessel for the Abyssal Sage King's divine descent, there's no need to worry about it anymore. It's just that the God of Slaughter is far stronger than the Demon Empress and possesses a Second Rank God Divine Position. If he were to be divinely descended upon by the Abyssal Sage King, the Sage King's strength would likely be far greater than in the original story, requiring even greater caution in dealing with the situation.
The strength of the container is a key factor affecting the Abyssal Sage King's power. In the original work, a Demon Empress was completely unable to allow the Abyssal Sage King to unleash his full power, but the God of Slaughter is obviously not comparable to Demon Empress, and may allow the Abyssal Sage King to unleash power approaching the Super God Rank.
A hint of seriousness flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. With a smile, he looked at the Devil Emperor with considerable emotion, "You are the biggest fish in this operation, second only to the Abyssal Sage King. Compared to the information you provided, the power of the Fiery Emperor and the Seed of the Plane are probably inferior."
The Devil Emperor, his heart filled with despair, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Huo Yuhao, "What do you mean? You killed Fiery Emperor and stole his Seed of the Plane?"
He had just been chased and was unaware of what was happening on the other side of the Abyss Passage.
Huo Yuhao smiled without saying a word.
The Devil Emperor understood his silence, and his face turned completely ashen.
The fact that Huo Yuhao is standing here unharmed speaks volumes—the Abyss's attack has been blocked.
Moreover, it is very likely that the Fiery Emperor has already died at the hands of this deity, and judging from what the deity said, the Sage King also paid some price.
It's a complete loss!
Huo Yuhao ignored the Devil Emperor, who had completely withdrawn from public life. After sorting through the intelligence he had obtained, he passed on the selected information to the Federation and Rong Lingji respectively, so that they could formulate countermeasures against the Holy Spirit Cult's plan.
After doing all this, he did not kill the Devil Emperor directly, but sealed him away.
Leaving the Devil Emperor alive might serve another purpose, and he has a Ninth Soul Skill that requires the assistance of Possession Demon for experimentation, so the Devil Emperor's arrival is timely.
However, now is not the time to do this.
Huo Yuhao took out the five Seed of the Plane, excluding the one from Fiery Emperor, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
He has been at the Golden Body stage for some time now. During this period, through the nourishment of the Four Element Divine Lightning Tribulation Lightning, Gold of Life, his Physical Fitness and the Innate Secret Technique of the Body Sect have been continuously improving.
Having previously used his status Plane Master to complete the Seven Colors Divine Lightning within his body, his cultivation of Innate Secret Technique had directly increased significantly.
After all, as a symbol of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, the power of the Seven Colors Divine Lightning is beyond doubt. Many God Rank powerhouses who break through are not even qualified to have celestial Tribulation Lightning of this level descend upon them.
Even Lan Xuanyu, after mastering the Four Element Divine Lightning, first mastered the Light and Dark Divine Thunder composed of light, darkness, space, and time before he began to explore the Heaven and Earth Tribulation composed of the Seven Elements.
Huo Yuhao achieved his goal in one go, resulting in a significant improvement.
Even if he doesn't deliberately temper his body afterward, the Seven Colors Divine Lightning within him will be enough to help him elevate his body to the level of Immaculate Golden Body over time.
But Huo Yuhao wasn't going to wait any longer.
Now, he has killed a large number of Abyss Creatures, and the large amount of Abyss energy absorbed into his body has not yet been fully digested. In addition, with the five Seed of the Plane, his resources are extremely abundant.
He only needs to convert all this energy into Life energy to nourish his physical body and enhance his Soul Power. Combined with the tempering of the Seven-Colored Lightning Tribulation in the Undead Plane, it will be enough to support his attempt to break through to the Immaculate Golden Body.
Now is the time to break through!
