Huo Yuhao was speeding through the lower altitude of the mixed area toward the edge. Because he was deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, he did not dare to act too arrogant, and he deliberately flew very low so as not to provoke any existence at the beast king level.
Suddenly, a pillar of blood appeared before him without any warning, directly disrupting his flight rhythm. After an emergency brake, Huo Yuhao put away his throwing knives and headed to the edge of the blood pillar on the ground to investigate.
Unusual events always harbor demons; something is happening down below. Huo Yuhao briefly analyzed the situation before controlling his body to dive right in without the slightest hesitation.
With his current strength, he was not even afraid of Titled Douluos. Strength is a man's courage-this saying was indeed correct.
This was a natural pit, and the passage was extremely deep. There were very obvious dragging marks on the ground and surrounding walls, making it highly likely that a giant snake-type soul beast lived inside.
The further Huo Yuhao walked, the more he frowned, because the aura inside was far too bone-chilling. Even for a cold-blooded animal like a snake, it shouldn't have been this freezing!
Unwilling to waste time in this passage, he directly accelerated and sped forward. Within a single breath, he reached the end, standing before a huge stone wall.
"BOOM...!"
Huo Yuhao's fist smashed this stone wall with a single blow-simple, crude, and violent. The terrifying force instantly turned all the boulders into dust.
In an instant, dust filled the air.
"Who is it?" An extremely furious roar rang out.
After coughing softly a few times, Huo Yuhao violently waved his right hand to fan away the dust on the tip of his nose. Focusing his gaze and taking in the evil scene before him, he couldn't help but be amused.
I didn't expect to be able to beat up some villains right before leaving.
The holy sacrifice was about to be completed, yet it had been abruptly interrupted. This was something the silver-haired elder could not accept.
In his entire life, he had performed no less than a hundred sacrifices, and all he had obtained were the incomplete dragon attendants (actually snake attendants) around him. What he needed was a true evil dragon.
Seeing that today's batch was of the highest quality and the ritual was about to end, he absolutely refused to allow any accidents to happen.
"The holy son must not be compromised; kill him for me!" the silver-haired elder said viciously, while his hands began to move faster.
Hearing his command, the twenty-four figures beneath him began to rise. The martial souls and soul rings on their bodies were released all at once, and instantly, hundreds of soul rings slowly appeared within the huge cavern, their dazzling brilliance illuminating almost the entire pitch-black cave.
Looking at these evil soul masters, Huo Yuhao wore a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth. Ten silver throwing knives floated around him. Right during his flight just now, he had familiarized himself with the amplification brought by his fourth soul ring; the number of throwing knives at his limit attack output had increased by two more, reaching ten.
The evil soul masters did not hesitate at all, madness flashing in the depths of their eyes as they launched a fierce attack on Huo Yuhao, the intruder.
In response, the ten throwing knives hovering within a range of over ten meters around Huo Yuhao's body moved instantly.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The ten throwing knives instantly transformed into illusions. Splat! A throwing knife directly pierced the skull of a rushing power attack system soul king, and his brain matter splattered out along with the blade.
After piercing this soul king, and under Huo Yuhao's control, this throwing knife then slaughtered toward the other enemies.
The first round of attacks directly and easily took the lives of ten soul kings and soul emperors, causing the remaining crowd of evil soul masters to be exceptionally horrified as they hurriedly released their strongest soul skills to defend themselves.
Unfortunately, these were all futile defenses. The ten throwing knives completely transformed into streams of light and illusions, slaughtering the remaining dozen or so evil soul masters down to the last one.
Only a single entity at the soul douluo level remained, desperately defending against the three throwing knives with terrifying force in front of him.
This soul douluo released a three-meter-tall Martial Soul Avatar. It was clear that the Martial Soul Avatars on the Douluo Continent were energy entities; this one probably weighed several tons, and erupting with tens of kilograms of force was only normal.
Interesting, does this soul douluo's limit burst actually approach fifty thousand kilograms? It seems not all soul masters are weak!
Huo Yuhao was thoughtful. Judging from the performance of the soul douluo before him, this evil soul master should have no problem soloing an ordinary fifty-thousand-year soul beast.
"Then how will you respond next?" Huo Yuhao instantly increased the number of throwing knives besieging his target to six.
As single throwing knives with a force of sixteen thousand kilograms each joined the fray, all six spinning simultaneously, they instantly erupted with terrifying force.
This soul douluo was sent flying backward for hundreds of meters like a balloon that had been rammed, collapsing to the ground like a kite with a broken string, unconscious and with his fate unknown.
Seeing his subordinates defeated so quickly, the silver-haired elder's eyes split with fury. He had no choice but to temporarily stop what he was doing, curse them as trash, and then stare viciously at Huo Yuhao.
"If Your Excellency withdraws now, you will gain the friendship of our Evil Dragon Sacred Gate. I guarantee it."
Evil Dragon still held a shred of fantasy; he was unwilling to give up this holy son, as this was his lifelong dream. He could have achieved it today, but someone so murderous had suddenly appeared to disrupt his plans.
"The friendship of the Evil Dragon Sacred Gate? Do you think you are currently qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Huo Yuhao manipulated the ten blood-stained throwing knives, hovering them beside Evil Dragon with a disdainful smile, as if he only needed to gently clench his fist for the ten throwing knives to instantly turn Evil Dragon into a sieve.
"You fellow, you take Titled Douluos far too lightly!" Evil Dragon roared fiercely. His martial soul possessed him instantly, and a blood-colored snake immediately appeared.
At the same time, nine soul rings-yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, and red-appeared on his body. After the martial soul possession, one could see that Evil Dragon's body was covered in numerous pitch-black, ugly snake scales.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao clenched his right hand-which was controlling his psychic power-into a fist, and the ten blood-stained throwing knives abruptly blasted toward Evil Dragon's body in an attempt to pierce him. He was also brimming with battle intent as he clashed with the high-end combat power of this world for the very first time.
The ten throwing knives were not as all-conquering as before; Evil Dragon's snake scales were extremely tough, and apart from sparking countless flashes, Huo Yuhao's throwing knives could not get an inch closer.
Huo Yuhao was thoughtful at this. It seemed that the strength of a Titled Douluo level was indeed a huge watershed. Upon reaching this stage, a soul master's martial soul would undergo a qualitative change, making them basically fearless against any ten-thousand-year soul beast.
Of course, those with very special bloodlines were the exception, and every level a Titled Douluo gained brought massive improvements. The gap became even more obvious once they reached the Super Douluo stage, but the Evil Dragon before him was clearly not a Super Douluo.
Seeing that scattered attacks with throwing knives were ineffective against him, Huo Yuhao divided the ten throwing knives into groups of three, with each group attacking at high speed, while a group of four throwing knives served as the main force. This time, Evil Dragon finally felt a trace of strain, and had to stop his forward advance to defend himself.
The moment Evil Dragon released his martial soul, he immediately closed the distance between himself and Huo Yuhao. After all, his martial soul was evil, but his brain wasn't stupid; he could see that Huo Yuhao's formidable point lay in his throwing knives.
Based on his perception, Huo Yuhao's cultivation hadn't even reached the soul king stage, so as long as he closed in and captured Huo Yuhao, this battle would essentially be over.
It was a pity that he had no idea that Huo Yuhao's close-combat strength was even more terrifying, and using throwing knives was merely a way for him to consume the Titled Douluo's soul power a bit.
Huo Yuhao's current strength was divided into two parts: one was his physical strength, which was at the advanced warlord level, capable of reaching the peak of advanced war god under full-out eruption.
The other was his psychic power, though this was not inherent to him, but rather released through the Divine Sense Orb martial soul.
Because the Divine Sense Orb was his martial soul, strictly speaking, it still required consuming soul power, even though the consumption was extremely small.
The Divine Sense Orb could not rely on the Spirit Eyes and the Nine-Chong Thunder Blade to amplify its strength, but it came with its own method of amplification. Therefore, Huo Yuhao's biggest cheat was actually the Divine Sense Orb.
As long as he steadily increased his soul power and obtained soul rings, within a few years, his psychic power would be able to break through to the war god realm. Once he obtained his ninth soul ring and became a Titled Douluo, his psychic power would officially break through to the planetary level.
By then, stacking throwing knives with several limit attacks would make shattering the Divine Realm feel like no difficult task to him.
Simply heaven-defying; as long as he developed steadily, blasting apart the Douluo God Realm was just around the corner.
Hehe, Swallowed Star's cheats basically emerge here: psychic power, martial artist levels, and then secret techniques to amplify combat power. I can leak a spoiler here-the protagonist won't let the duchess die a quick death.
As for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, he will forcibly kill Dai Yueheng. Although Dai Yueheng was righteous, that was merely a facade. He had always known of Huo Yuhao's existence, so he was not innocent.
Mentioning this in advance is meant to explain that the protagonist is not a villain; he only kills those who deserve to be killed.
