Chapter 26: The Second Comparison—The Heavenly Screen Exposes Huo Yuhao's Revenge!

The instant Huo Yuhao broke through to level fifty, Electrolux's voice rang out in his mind.

"That Evil Soul Master we killed in Blood Valley—the Titled Douluo? I found something good inside his Martial Soul. It can't compare to this scorpion, but it'll make a fine Soul Ring. Consider it my gift to you as my new disciple!"

Whoosh!

A stream of gray power poured into Huo Yuhao's body.

His First Martial Soul emerged on its own.

White, yellow, purple, black... red!

His fifth Soul Ring blazed, and a soul appeared in his Spiritual Sea.

Gray Undead Aura. The face of a person, the body of a fish. At the sight of that soul, Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply.

"A hundred-thousand-year Mermaid Princess... Li Ya!"

He was soaring. This windfall had sent him straight into the sky.

The Ferocious Beast Ice Empress had sacrificed herself to him. He had gained a Third Martial Soul, Ultimate Ice, a Ferocious Beast Soul Ring, a Ferocious Beast Soul Bone, and a hundred-thousand-year fifth Soul Ring... Could his Soul Power break through to level sixty in one leap?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the Ice Empress's sacrifice and his First Martial Soul's absorption of the hundred-thousand-year Mermaid Princess Li Ya's Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power shot upward like a rocket.

[Level fifty-one!] [Level fifty-three!!] [Level fifty-five!!!]

After Huo Yuhao easily absorbed the four-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast Ice Empress's left leg bone and that External Soul Bone, his Soul Power finally stopped at the peak of level fifty-nine.

[Peak of level fifty-nine!!!]

Hum!

Huo Yuhao's eyes turned bloodred. Five Soul Rings—white, yellow, purple, black, and red—blazed around him.

His Second Martial Soul slowly appeared behind him, accompanied by a massive Soul Ring covered in gray Undead Markings that flickered without cease.

From his bare upper body, dazzling green light illuminated the entire Far North. The enormous Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul manifested, radiating the might of a Ferocious Beast.

Red! Four markings!

A four-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast Soul Ring!

Behind him, where his left leg connected to his spine, terrifying Ultimate Ice erupted, and a scorpion tail appeared, radiating endless cold.

The aura of a peak level-fifty-nine Soul Master spread without cease.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's excited voice rang out again and again.

"We did it! We did it! Ultimate Ice, a Ferocious Beast Martial Soul, a Ferocious Beast Soul Ring, a Ferocious Beast Soul Bone—four hundred thousand years... Ice Empress, you actually broke through the four-hundred-thousand-year limit during your sacrifice!"

"Heh... hahaha! Wind and snow pressed down on me for years, and I wept year after year. From this moment on, I, Tian Meng, will never let this sky block my eyes again!"

Huo Yuhao turned and looked east, toward the Star Luo Empire. In an instant, his eyes sank into bloodred.

"Peak Soul King. Electrolux, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress... one Titled Douluo puppet, a thousand Soul King Corpse Puppets..."

"These are the results of nearly a year of work, everything I've built up in that time. It's not enough to take on an empire, but..."

"It's just right for wiping out the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!"

Huo Yuhao never forgot where he came from. At least, not when it mattered most.

What was the first thing he would do after gaining power?

Take revenge, of course! For a year, he had worked himself half to death, slaughtering Evil Soul Masters like a madman, devouring souls to increase his Soul Power. He had even joined the Holy Spirit Cult and become an Evil Soul Master despised by all. What had it all been for?

Wasn't it revenge?

Hadn't he done it all to avenge his mother with his own strength?

Since leaving the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, since the first comparison ended, he had spent a year in the Holy Spirit Cult amassing power. And now... the day had finally come!

Star Luo Empire.

Gu Quan excitedly kneaded a Corpse Puppet.

"Just thinking about what we're about to do gets me excited. Corpse Spirit, are you excited?"

The Corpse Puppet in Gu Quan's arms seemed to come alive. She hugged him shyly and nodded.

Fang Yuan watched Gu Quan play with his Martial Soul in that bizarre fashion and quietly moved away.

"Saint Son, about getting a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring when I break through to the sixth turn... ahem, level sixty and become a Soul Emperor."

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, his murderous gaze fixed on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the distance.

"That depends on how you perform."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao stopped concealing his aura.

Hum!

"Seal the exits. Leave... no one alive!"

A vast soul form suddenly appeared behind him. Electrolux extended his hand, his gaze indifferent. In an instant, a gray Undead Barrier enveloped the sprawling White Tiger Duke's Mansion and its thousand acres of grounds.

Huo Yuhao waved one hand. The next moment, a thousand Soul King Undead appeared behind him, led by a Titled Undead.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The air rang with sharp bursts as Huo Yuhao led Gu Quan, Fang Yuan, the Titled Undead, and the thousand-strong Soul King Undead Army in a headlong charge into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Before long, agonized screams filled the entire estate.

Blood, screams, severed limbs, and violent explosions mingled together.

The instant Huo Yuhao attacked, black-robed figures appeared in dense ranks all around the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"Good, good, good! Now that's the Undead Saint Son of our Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Leave no one alive! Not a single one!"

"Watch closely. Don't let a single fish slip through the net, and don't give anyone a chance to reinforce the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Today, not even a chicken or dog leaves that place alive! Dig three feet into the ground—pull out the earthworms and split them lengthwise! Even a dog passing by gets a slap from me!"

Zhongli Wu watched with bloodred eyes as the entire Holy Spirit Cult stood on high alert.

A beam of Golden Light instantly pierced the Three Realms, and the Three Realms Sky Screen opened over all of them at once.

[Heavenly Screen Comparison: Second Round of the Shrek Seven Monsters Comparison. Participants: Tang San, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin!] [This is the second comparison: the second pivotal member of the Shrek Seven Monsters has been unlocked.]

Douluo I:

Tang San had just absorbed a two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring beyond his limits in the Star Dou Great Forest. His Soul Power had reached level thirty-two, and he had obtained an External Soul Bone. Better still, Xiao Wu had returned.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, an External Soul Bone, level-thirty-two Soul Power, and Twin Martial Souls. I'm certain to win the second comparison!"

Hum! A pillar of light descended beside Tang San, landing on Xiao Wu.

"Huh? Huh? Huh? I have to take part in the comparison too?"

Douluo III:

Tang Wulin had broken out of his silence. Leading five other members of Shrek Academy alone, he had won match after match in the outer court. His Soul Power had reached the peak of level twenty-nine. Though the evolution of his Golden Dragon King Bloodline had brought him pain, it had also brought a terrifying increase in strength. He was beginning to look like the outer court's Number One.

A beam of Golden Light suddenly fell upon Gu Yue, who had temporarily left Shrek Academy... or rather, upon Gu Yuena, as she now was.

[Do you choose to participate in the Shrek Seven Monsters Comparison?]

Douluo II: Summer heat blazed, and cicadas chirped without cease.

Huo Yuhao wore a dark-red robe. It had not been red to begin with, but pure black. Blood—fresh blood—had dyed it dark red.

He walked across the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's muddy, blood-soaked ground, strewn with severed limbs and the mangled remains of Evil Soul Masters.

His eyes bloodred, Huo Yuhao kept raising the White Tiger Dagger in his hand. Up, down. Up, down. He moved like a machine that knew no fatigue.

Each time the White Tiger Dagger fell, another head flew cleanly into the air, spraying blood across the sky.

Self-detonations, screams, wails of agony... Scene after bloody, cruel, horrifying scene battered everyone watching the three Heavenly Screens!

"Huo Yuhao! Dai Yuhao! Yuhao!"

"It's you! You're that wretch's child!"

In the sky, the pupils of an old man fighting the Titled Undead contracted sharply at those words.

"Dai... Dai Yuhao? Huo Yuhao? You... you're the same person!"

"You bastard!"

"Yuhao, I'm your grandfather! Your own grandfather!"

Shnk!

Huo Yuhao answered him with a slash, without the slightest hesitation.

"Beast!"

"You're nothing but a beast!"

"Damn you! You really are that wretch's spawn!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were bloodred, his face twisted. His expression shifted again and again before settling into madness.

"Heh... hahahaha!"

"Too loud. Too loud. Kill them, kill them! Kill anyone I don't want to look at!"

"If I'd known, I would've killed them long ago!"

"Heh, hahaha... The winds and clouds churn through my dreams!"

After Tang Wulin's morals, upright beyond all bounds, came a Huo Yuhao driven to the very edge of madness.

"Everyone, look! It's the Heavenly Screen showing Huo Yuhao, the Second-Generation Child of Destiny!"

"What's he doing?!"

"He killed his own grandfather with his own hands, and he's slaughtering his entire Clan!"

In the Peerless Era of Douluo II, the moment Huo Yuhao's exchange with the White Tiger Douluo appeared, the whole era erupted.

"Wait. Huo Yuhao is Dai Yuhao? Why does 'Dai' sound so familiar? Hold on—isn't that the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the Star Luo Empire?"

"It is! That's the damn White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and the man he killed was the White Tiger Douluo!"

At the border between the Star Luo Empire and Sun Moon, in the White Tiger army.

Dai Hao slammed the table and shot to his feet. His pupils contracted sharply.

"No... my Clan members!"

Outside the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Zhongli Wu looked up at the Heavenly Screen, his scalp prickling.

"Damn it. Why did the Heavenly Screen expose Huo Yuhao's revenge now?"

"Hold the line! Don't let anyone through to save the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!"

"Today, no one will stand in the Saint Son's way!"

[Heavenly Screen Exposé—Tragedy: Huo Yuhao, the Second-Generation Child of Destiny!] [Error, error, error! Huo Yuhao, the Second-Generation Child of Destiny, has changed his predetermined fate. Tragedy has been revised to... Revenge!] [There's no time to mourn Tang Wulin, the Dragon God who embodied Douluo's deepest devotion and sorrow. Approaching you now is the Number One forged by ten thousand years of Douluo's destiny, the center of the world's fortune: a Soul Master at eleven, a peak Soul King at twelve, founder of the Soul Devouring Path, a follower of the Way of Slaughter since eleven, the first to possess Triple Martial Souls, the first to inherit the power of the Undead, one who used the Undead to slaughter a Titled Douluo and single-handedly exterminated his entire Clan. Of the Shrek Seven Monsters, he fits the wish-fulfillment hero's mold best—quickest to take revenge, refusing to suffer when he doesn't have to, determined to enjoy every blessing, unwilling to bear the slightest pressure, and settling every grudge on the spot... the Holy Spirit Cult's... Undead Saint Son... Huo Yuhao!!!]
