The God of Slaughter guessed that the aura behind this was Huo Yuhao.

Because the Abyssal Sage King had already relayed all the news about the Abyss Battlefield to the Holy Spirit Cult through the Possession Demon channel.

It was based on this that the God of Slaughter made such a conjecture.

After all, Huo Yuhao had just received the "God Rank upgrade gift pack" from the Fiery Emperor, and not long after, someone in the Douluo Continent broke through to the God Rank- level. The most likely candidate was Huo Yuhao himself.

With the information provided by the Abyssal Sage King, the God of Slaughter naturally had some understanding of Huo Yuhao's strength.

Judging from that intelligence, Huo Yuhao already possessed the strength to resist the Abyssal Sage King even before he became a god—even though the Abyssal Sage King was heavily restricted at the time, it was enough to show that this reincarnation of a god was not to be underestimated.

But in the eyes of the God of Slaughter, even if the opponent's strength increases again after becoming a god, he is not without a chance of winning.

He dared not claim victory over First Rank God in his prime. But an opponent who had lost all his cultivation, started from scratch, and whose current realm was even weaker than his—such an opponent was naturally someone he could restrain.

However, the God of Slaughter would not truly underestimate Huo Yuhao.

He'd already experienced being caught off guard and didn't want to go through it again.

Sensing the disappearance of the imposing aura on the horizon, the God of Slaughter shifted his gaze to the Holy Spirit Cult members below.

"Accelerate the preparations for the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array. The scenario that the Demon Empress and the Ghost Emperor wanted to see has already occurred. Now, tell them to behave themselves. I do not wish for any greater unforeseen events."

He was aware of some of the Ghost Emperor and Demon Empress's schemes. They were stalling for time, hoping that Douluo Continent would grow stronger so that it could fight the Abyss to a standstill and reap the benefits. But now that a god on the other side had fully recovered, they could no longer afford to delay any longer.

"Yes!"

The congregation responded in unison and immediately dispersed.

The God of Slaughter gazed at the slowly dissipating aura on the horizon, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Whether he can defeat those gods or not is irrelevant.

As long as the Abyss Plane wins, that's enough.

Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew his aura, and the surging chaotic energy around him retreated into his body like a tide, while the luster of his Battle Armor gradually dimmed.

As the last trace of his breath subsided, he returned to his normal appearance—except for his eyes, which occasionally flashed with divine light, making him completely different from the god who had just shaken the heavens and earth.

Huo Yuhao felt the power flowing within his body and nodded in satisfaction.

--

This Battle Armor can completely replace some of the functions of the Spirit Pagoda, and its effect in amplifying and increasing Soul Power is not much worse than that of the Spirit Pagoda.

Moreover, in addition to the effect of amplifying Soul Power, the Battle Armor, after Heavenly Forging by Gu Yuena and created by her, did not lose much in its ability to amplify all attributes, and can still amplify all attributes by about five times.

This is a normal enhancement, a boost that can be obtained simply by equipping the Battle Armor, and the improvement is quite considerable. Even if an owner of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda were to undergo the same enhancement, the effect would be far less than that of the Battle Armor.

Even if he truly reaches the God Rank in the future and the Soul Power amplification effect weakens, as long as the all-attribute amplification exists, the Battle Armor will not truly become obsolete.

Of course, the best thing about this Divine Tool is that it has a deep connection with him and can improve along with him until he becomes God King, at which point he might have a chance to become Super Divine Tool. Even if he can't reach that level in one step, it will at least be a top-tier Divine Tool that is only one step away from becoming a Super Divine Tool artifact.

"I wonder what level of offensive I can launch now, given the amplification capabilities of the Spirit Pagoda, at my full strength."

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, but couldn't reach a conclusion. He stopped thinking about it, put away his Battle Armor, and his power receded like a tide, his Divine Power transforming back into Soul Power.

This transformation was achieved under the enhancement of the Battle Armor; he hasn't truly reached that level yet.

Therefore, after dispelling his Battle Armor, his cultivation level returned to Level Ninety-Nine.

That's right, Level Ninety-Nine. This is the power that the Divine Spark spark fed back to him after he absorbed the divine Creation Divinity, which allowed his cultivation to break through again, from level ninety-eight to Level Ninety-Nine.

However, despite that, the Soul Power within him was far stronger than that of an ordinary Quasi-God.

The greatest boost that the Creation Divinity brought him was not his Soul Power, but his control over the Laws.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the Creation Divinity that had merged with his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul. Instantly, all sorts of insights into the Power of Creation flowed into his heart.

It wasn't words, nor images, but an "understanding" of the Laws of Creation, directly imprinted deep within the soul—about creation, about Life, about the essence of coming into being from nothing.

Huo Yuhao hadn't expected that the mark given by the Throne of Seal would have such benefits after he integrated it with the Power of Creation and transformed it into Creation Divinity, directly improving his mastery of the Laws of Creation by a large margin.

Divine Spark essence should be something formed from the Laws one has mastered. Perhaps in the instant it is formed, it can bring one closer to the corresponding Laws, making it easier to comprehend and manipulate them, but it shouldn't be like that.

The Divine Spark granted to him by the Throne of Seal is somewhat similar to the Divine Spark received by the successor when a god passes on his divine Divine Position, containing some of the "predecessor's" insights into the Laws.

Huo Yuhao felt that it was probably because the Throne of Eternity and Creation was itself Super Divine Tool in this regard, so the Lord of Eternity Divine Spark upon him contained some personal biases.

Is there anyone in this world who understands Life and creation better than the Creation God?

Obviously not. Even if the Phoenix God King has gone very far in the path of Creation, he could not possibly be stronger than the Creation God.

As the seat once leaned upon by the Creation God, the Throne of Throne of Seal even contains a trace of the Creation God's Divine Sense, the Lord of Eternity. In its understanding of the Laws of Creation, few can match it.

Therefore, it's understandable that the Divine Spark bestowed upon him by the Throne of Seal could grant him so many insights into the Laws of Creation.

No wonder the Eternal Angel said that the best course of action would be to transform this mark into Creation Divinity.

If one does not embark on the path related to Creation and transforms this mark into other Divine Spark, it would be a waste of the insights into the Laws of Creation bestowed by the Creation God, which would be tantamount to squandering a precious resource.

This also brought back a thought that had once crossed Huo Yuhao's mind: to research the Throne of Seal!

Although his Creation Divinity was influenced by personal interpretations, the Lord of Eternity initially granted him Divine Spark without attributes. While there were personal interpretations regarding the Laws of Creation, they were certainly not all of them.

As the seat of the Creation God, the Throne of Seal must bear the imprint of the Creation God's Laws, and those things are the most important to Huo Yuhao.

After all, once you reach the God Rank, the understanding and control of the Laws become increasingly important. Without sufficient understanding of the Laws, you can't even break through to the God Rank.

Not to mention, without the Godhood Inheritance, he will definitely be stuck if he wants to advance to the realm of God King in the future without sufficient understanding and control of the Laws.

However, the Throne of Seal can obviously help him solve this problem to some extent. As long as he can understand the Laws imprint contained in the Throne of Seal, it is equivalent to having the Creation God's backing to glimpse the whole picture of the Laws of Creation. Not to mention ascending to the heavens in one step, he can make rapid progress in this path. He can even benefit from his understanding of other Laws.

Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Although he has come into contact with three kinds of Universe Origin — Destruction, Creation, and Reincarnation —in truth, the Laws of Creation is the one he can most easily access and comprehend at present.

Not only Throne of Seal, but also Gu Yuena, the pioneer— the Dragon God's Creation Divinity she embodies is clearly of an extremely high level. It is precisely because of the Reverse Scale she gave him, and their constant communication, that he has been able to progress so smoothly in the Laws of Creation.

In addition, the enhancement of his understanding of the Creation Path by his Plane Master, and the fact that he can find the Half-step God King "Tianyang" of the Creation Path in the universe after becoming a god in the future, all make the Laws of Creation the most accessible and easiest Universe Origin Laws for him to access and improve.

In contrast, the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of Reincarnation offer few shortcuts beyond comprehending the power of the Laws governing the universe.

Of course, if we take the future into account, there are some shortcuts to the Laws of Destruction.

The Abyss Plane and the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd are manifestations of the Laws of Destruction. There's also the Destruction Divinity possessed by the Golden Dragon King, and the Crimson Plane, which we might encounter at any time. By focusing on these aspects, Laws of Destruction is easier than improving the Laws of Reincarnation. However, it still cannot match its advantage in the Laws of Creation.

"However, that's precisely why I chose to develop the power of the Laws of Creation first."

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself.

Rather than pursuing three paths simultaneously, which only lead to constant setbacks, it's better to first take the most advantageous path far enough and then use it to support the others. The Laws of Creation is the source of all things—understanding creation makes it easier to understand Destruction; once you've grasped the cycle of birth and death of all things, looking back at the path of Reincarnation will naturally fall into place.

With this in mind, Huo Yuhao calmed his mind and quickly digested and absorbed the insights into the Laws that the Creation Divinity had just provided. Then, he closed his eyes, sank his consciousness into his body, and officially began the Third Awakening of his Spiritual Eye.

He had already planned that once the Spiritual Eye had accumulated enough foundation under the nourishment of the Chaos Dharma Body, he would use the Creation Divinity as the core to guide the Spiritual Eye to complete its qualitative transformation. Now that the Divine Spark was formed and the foundation was sufficient, the time was just right.

As time passed, a cool sensation emanated from the depths of the Spiritual Eye that had merged with the Creation Divinity —it was not the coolness of the outside world, but the unique clarity and tranquility that came from the power of Laws permeating the Martial Soul Origin.

However, this tranquility was fleeting.

The Spiritual Sea was the first to tremble.

That vast and boundless ocean was a world formed by Huo Yuhao's Divine Power. The sea surface was usually as calm as a mirror, but at this moment, the entire Spiritual Sea was violently churning—not due to external forces, but because of the power of the Creation Divinity.

In an instant, the entire Spiritual Sea boiled over!

It was not a Destruction collapse, but an "awakening" in the sense of Life. The seawater no longer seemed to be a pure condensation of Divine Power, but was gradually permeated and transformed by the Power of Creation, from Formless to tangible. Every drop of "seawater" seemed to have its own breath and pulse. The Spiritual Sea, which was originally as clear as glass, began to shimmer with a faint emerald-gold luster, full of vitality.

A more substantial breakthrough followed.

As the power of the Creation Divinity continued to pour in, Huo Yuhao's Divine Power began to rise rapidly. He had previously devoured the Divine Power of a large number of Abyss Creatures through Soul Devour, and had already reached the threshold of the Mid-stage Divine Origin Realm.

At this moment, catalyzed by the Laws of Creation, that thin sheet of paper shattered with a crash.

His Divine Consciousness broke through.

From the peak of the Early-stage Divine Origin Realm, he steadily stepped into the Mid-stage Divine Origin Realm, taking another step closer to the Third Rank Divine Origin Realm. However, this is still not the end.

The Creation Divinity, Martial Soul Fusion with the Spiritual Eye Martial Soul, is like an enhanced version of the Gold of Life, still nurturing and enhancing his Divine Power.

At the same time, a powerful force of life surged into Huo Yuhao's body. His bones, meridians, flesh, and internal organs were quietly strengthened under the nourishment of the Laws of Creation. Although the progress of his body was not as dazzling as the leap in his Divine Power, it still solidly and steadily added bricks and tiles to the foundation of his divine body.

After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, a divine light, as clear as autumn water and as gentle as spring sunshine, shot out from the depths of the pupils, then subsided and settled, leaving only a pair of eyes so clear they were almost transparent—as if they could reflect every texture of heaven and earth, revealing even the soul.

Late-stage Divine Origin Realm.

Sensing his current Spiritual Power Realm, Huo Yuhao revealed a slight smile.

However, this is not the biggest improvement.

With the Third Awakening of his Martial Soul, the quality of his Spiritual Eye improved once again, reaching the level of God Rank Martial Soul. His ability to use his Spiritual Attribute was significantly enhanced compared to before.

At the same time, his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul also gained several new innate abilities.

Firstly, the Creation Awakening is somewhat similar to the Golden Rank Secondary Awakening ability. It is a buff ability that can burn Soul Power to convert into Power of Creation, gaining a five-fold mental amplification. Even though he is currently at a qualitative and quantitative disadvantage compared to the Third Rank Divine Origin Realm, after using this move, he can still fight against an ordinary Third Rank Divine Origin Realm cultivator with just his Divine Power.

Secondly, the Eye of Creation, while not exactly an ability, is more of a change in perspective. Seemingly empowered by the Power of Creation, Huo Yuhao can now see the more essential aspects of Life, such as its structure. This undoubtedly greatly aids his research into the Power of Creation, at least preventing him from having to burn everything with the Crimson Gold Profound Flame.

Thirdly, and most importantly, is the ability to "Creation"!

This was the ability that surprised Huo Yuhao the most. Although he had some expectations before, he did not expect that after the Spiritual Eye merged with the Creation Divinity and then awakened, it could actually reach this ability.

This ability is very similar to the core ability of the Phoenix God King, so Huo Yuhao named it Creation, but its effect is naturally far inferior to that of the Phoenix God King.

Huo Yuhao experimented and found that with this ability, he could use his Divine Power to replicate techniques below the God Rank that he could understand, and unleash their full power. For techniques he didn't understand, if the involved things weren't complicated, he could still achieve about 70% of the effect. In a sense, it was even more useful than Mental Duplication.

However, if one were to replicate a God Rank technique, perhaps because God Rank techniques mostly involve Laws, the effect would only be around 10% to 30%.

At present, this ability is obviously not useful at the God Rank.

But since such an ability was truly born after the combination of Divine Power and the Creation Divinity, it means that he has chosen the right path.

Moreover, this ability has become his innate talent. As long as he continues to improve the Laws of Creation and his own strength, he can completely perfect this ability. Compared to before he had this ability, the research difficulty has decreased significantly.

Overall, Huo Yuhao was very satisfied with this improvement.
