Chapter 29: The Demon Lord Emerges, and the Three Realms Panic!

When the Heavenly Screen showed eleven-year-old Huo Yuhao entering the Star Dou Great Forest, receiving the sacrifice of a Million-Year Soul Beast and the support of a God-Level elder's soul, Tang San could no longer sit still.

The oath Huo Yuhao had sworn before his mother's grave kept echoing through Tang San's mind.

"I will cut down Tang San, destroy the White Tiger line, and let the Three Realms bear witness!!!"

[At eleven, after the comparison ended, you faced a Ferocious Beast crisis. You seized Destiny Power and were taken away by Zhongli Wu right under the noses of the Body Sect and Shrek. You joined the Holy Spirit Cult!]

[In the Holy Spirit Cult, you entered the Blood Valley Trial. Among five thousand Evil Soul Masters, you slaughtered two thousand Soul Elders in the lower reaches on the first day, forged the Soul Devouring Path, and stepped onto the Way of Slaughter... Your Soul Power broke through level twenty. You killed a nine-hundred-year-old Corpse Beetle and obtained the Soul Skill Psychic Parasitism!]

[That night, you led two thousand Soul Elder Undead against the middle reaches and slaughtered two thousand Soul Ancestors. As you grew more adept at the Soul Devouring Path, your Soul Power broke through level thirty and you became a Soul Elder. You killed a thousand-year-old Blood Spirit and obtained the Soul Skill Psychic Control.]

[At dawn on the third day of the Blood Valley Trial, you led two thousand Soul Elder and two thousand Soul Ancestor Undead against the upper reaches. A thousand Soul Kings joined forces to kill you, but you spoke the words that shook Blood Valley.]

["I am a third-rank... Ahem, I'm at the peak of Soul Elder! Who can kill me? Who dares kill me!!!"]

Outside the Heavenly Screen, everyone watching Huo Yuhao's life fell into deathly silence.

"He's gone mad with killing! Huo Yuhao slaughtered four thousand people in two days, and every one of them was an Evil Soul Master!"

"A madman! After the White Tiger Duke's Mansion caused his mother's death, Huo Yuhao became a madman through and through!!"

"He slaughtered Soul Elders while he was only a Soul Master, then Soul Ancestors as a Soul Grandmaster. Now he's facing a thousand Soul Kings alone. I can't imagine how Huo Yuhao could win—what could he even fight them with!!!"

The people of the Douluo I Era and Douluo III Era went wild.

They stared in terror at the Heavenly Screen devoted to Huo Yuhao, yet spoke with mounting excitement. The screen had been right: Huo Yuhao truly had the script of a wish-fulfillment story. The more he had suffered as a child, the more wildly he killed once he grew strong.

Across the Douluo II Era, people watched Huo Yuhao fight on with blood-red eyes and a crazed expression, refusing to retreat even against a thousand Soul Kings. Cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.

They wanted to speak up too. They wanted to watch the spectacle like people from the other eras.

But they could not. Huo Yuhao belonged to their world, their era. Everyone else's amusement was built on their pain.

[Surrounded by a thousand Soul Kings, you had nowhere to run. But you had never intended to flee. You chose the maddest course instead: without hesitation, you detonated the two thousand Soul Elder and two thousand Soul Ancestor Undead you had brought, choosing to blow up all of Blood Valley and take on those thousand Soul Kings!]

On the Heavenly Screen, Huo Yuhao uttered three words.

"Undead Explosion!"

[Buzz—bang—BOOM!!!]

[The terrifying blast destroyed most of Blood Valley. The blood pools vanished, and the lives of nine innocent Soul Emperors cultivating atop the Blood Spring hung in the balance. A thousand Soul Kings became cold Corpse, while you were gravely wounded!]

[Blood and severed limbs lay everywhere. A Peak Soul Emperor arrived with killing intent, the Myriad Souls Banner in his hand!]

["Soul-Tethered Dreams, Winds and Clouds Roil!"]

[Gravely wounded, you began a battle of wits with the Peak Soul Emperor, hoping to frighten him off. But he opened with his strongest move, intent on trapping you in his Myriad Souls Banner. At the crucial moment, you used your Martial Soul to forcibly devour the souls of a thousand Soul Kings, helping your teacher Electrolux complete Soul Fusion. Your Second Martial Soul fully transformed into a God-Level Martial Soul.]

[With your God-Level Martial Soul and your teacher's support, you dispersed every soul with one slap. With another, you struck the Peak Soul Emperor dead—and even killed the grandfather who came to save him.]

[You rose to power. The entire Holy Spirit Cult poured all its resources into raising you. You broke through level forty and absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Demon Crow on the verge of reaching a hundred thousand years. You reached the peak of Soul Ancestor!]

BOOM!!!

Everyone in the Three Realms watching Huo Yuhao's Heavenly Screen erupted.

"A Million-Year Soul Beast for his First Soul Ring, the soul of a God-Level teacher, and a top faction pouring all its resources into him. Oh no... this really is a wish-fulfillment script."

"In Huo Yuhao's life, I've seen a Million-Year Soul Beast appear when he hit rock bottom, a teacher willing to give everything for his student, and a faction that went beyond all expectations to raise him. Only after leaving the White Tiger Duke's Mansion did Huo Yuhao finally discover that it wasn't raining outside at all!"

"Wait, isn't Huo Yuhao a Soul King with Triple Martial Souls? Why does something feel off? Isn't he the Child of Destiny?? Has destiny not even kicked in yet???"

That one remark snapped everyone back to reality. The major powers across Douluo broke into a cold sweat. The next instant, the footage on the Heavenly Screen changed rapidly.

[In the Far North, you received the sacrifice of the Ferocious Beast Ice Empress, gaining a four-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast Soul Ring and a Third Acquired Martial Soul. Your Soul Power broke through level fifty. Your teacher gave you a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone as gifts for becoming a Soul King.]

When the two blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings appeared, everyone was dumbstruck.

The Child of Destiny had begun to flex his power.

[At twelve, you absorbed the Ferocious Beast Soul Bone, and your Soul Power rose to the peak of level fifty-nine. The moment you gained that power, you chose to lead the Holy Spirit Cult in striking the first blow for your young, helpless self!]

[After a year away, you returned to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion—the place that had once driven you to heartbreak and despair. Without a word, you took two underlings, a thousand Soul King Undead, and a Titled Undead, and charged the mansion that had cast a shadow over your entire childhood!]

[Once inside the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, you killed everyone you saw and detonated all your Undead. Their pleas excited you; their screams grated on your ears.]

["These noisy things all deserved to die!"]

["From now on, I'll kill anyone I don't like!!"]

["Heh... hahahahaha!!!"]

[Amid a fit of deranged laughter, you detonated the Undead Title Douluo and grievously wounded the White Tiger Title Douluo. Fang Yuan's repeated Soul Power reversals kept you at your peak. When your opponent claimed to be your grandfather, you raised the butcher's blade without hesitation.]

["What a pathetic enemy. To stay alive, you'll even call a stranger your grandson."]

[At that moment, your understanding of the Way of Slaughter deepened.]

The footage on the Heavenly Screen paused there, and the glimpse of what was to come slowly ended.

"Soul-Tethered Dreams, Winds and Clouds Roil!"

"Kill and devour souls, till the Three Realms speak in dread!!"

"Life and death, the gate of the Undead swings wide; slaughter rises anew—Undead Explosion!!!"

BOOM!!!

As those three lines rang out, a roar filled every mind. Everyone in the Three Realms widened their eyes in terror.

They heard endless killing intent in Huo Yuhao's voice. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion was only the beginning; the Three Realms were his target. Those he killed would have their souls devoured, their bodies turned into Undead, and then be blown apart. Not the slightest scrap would go to waste.

In the Douluo I Era, Tang San, who was about to be compared with Huo Yuhao, panicked.

In the Douluo II Era, Shrek and the Three Great Empires panicked.

In the Douluo III Era, Tang Wulin could no longer sit still either.

Huo Yuhao turned, raised the White Tiger Dagger, and slowly walked toward White Tiger Madam and the rear courtyard of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"H-Huo Yuhao, what are you going to do?!"

Slash!!!

"Third Young Master, I only just entered the White Tiger Duke's Mansion! I only just became White Tiger Madam's maid! I don't know anything! I really haven't done anything!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were blood-red.

"I lied. I kill people I like the look of, too!"

When only White Tiger Madam and Dai Luoli's mother, the White Tiger Concubine, remained in the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion...

Thud!!!

"I... I'm sorry, Yuhao. I shouldn't have stood by and watched back then. I... I truly failed to be a good person."

[Dai Luoli, illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke: Huo Yuhao, if you dare touch my mother, I'll stop at nothing...]

Swish!

Huo Yuhao looked up, his gaze blood-red.

"I really was having a hard time deciding. But you dared threaten me, so prepare to be reunited with your mother!"

Slash!

White Tiger Madam looked up in terror, her trembling finger pointing at Huo Yuhao.

"You... you..."

Slash!

"I can't be bothered listening to that. Die, all of you! Go repent in the Undead World!!!"

Swish!!!

Huo Yuhao raised a hand. An Undead Giant Hand instantly appeared above the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and seized everyone's souls, dragging them into the Undead World within his Spiritual Sea.

It was a complete, independent pocket world Electrolux had gained after fusing with the soul of the Undead God, filled with the aura of the Undead.

Huo Yuhao walked alone to the Back Mountain and unearthed his mother's grave at the place shown on the Heavenly Screen. When his Undead Magic could not sense even a trace of Huo Yun'er's soul, fury seized him.

"Tang San, if I don't kill you in this life, then I, Huo Yuhao, swear I'm not human!!!"

In the Undead World, everyone from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion knelt before Huo Yun'er's enormous Crystal Coffin. Their souls could not enter reincarnation. For all eternity, they would suffer the searing pain of Soul Flame.

This was only the beginning. He would bring every last person of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion bloodline still outside here too.

[Second Seven Monsters Comparison: Sea God Tang San, Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao, and Dragon God Form Tang Wulin!]

[For the second comparison, the chosen members of the Shrek Seven Monsters may enter the Heavenly Screen to assist in battle.]

In Douluo I, a beam of Golden Light fell upon Xiao Wu.

In Douluo II, a second beam of Golden Light appeared.

In Douluo III, a beam of Golden Light fell upon Gu Yuena.

The second comparison began. This time, however, the outcome had long been decided.

The gap between them was like a judgment from heaven.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

As Golden Light flashed again and again, Tang San, Huo Yuhao, and Tang Wulin appeared one after another in the Comparison Space.

Tang San was drenched in cold sweat. His face was pale, his lips pressed tight, and his mind was still caught on what Huo Yuhao had just said.

"Wait, your mom died. What the hell does that have to do with me?"

"How can you blame me for that too??"

"It's not like I actually killed your mom!!!"

"Heh... hahahaha! Soul-Tethered Dreams, Winds and Clouds Roil!!!"

The moment he saw Tang San, Huo Yuhao opened with his strongest move without a word.

"I'm done for! Heavenly Screen, save me!!!"
