After dealing with Nana's matter, Huo Yuhao didn't plan to stay here any longer. Come to think of it, he hadn't heard any unusual activity from the Time Sea of Consciousness for a long time, which was quite strange.
However, he didn't pay any attention to it.
More importantly, everything he experienced in the Sun Moon Empire was very interesting. Although it wasn't very challenging, he was happy to see Ju Zi again, and even happier that she could stay by his side.
So much so that he even prepared a way to leave when they parted ways.
A backup plan for the Ju Zi.
Under the cover of night, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on his bed in his dormitory, three Dragon Core glowing softly in his palm. He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes. "It's time."
He began his cultivation, and the three Dragon Core came in handy at this time. To fully improve himself, he needed to endure pain, and he wouldn't consume all three at once; the risk was too great. It was better to be cautious. That was his thinking.
He put both Dragon Core into his mouth at the same time, and instantly, a violent power surged through his body like a flood bursting its banks.
If it were an ordinary Soul Master, he would probably have already exploded and died by now. However, Huo Yuhao's body already contained the original power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, and with the addition of the peerless technique of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, he actually managed to suppress this violent energy.
Absorbing their Dragon Core only enhances Huo Yuhao, causing him no harm; this is an immense benefit.
It all depended on whether Huo Yuhao's body could withstand this enormous power, but Huo Yuhao cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.
Absorbing the energy through the cultivation technique is not a problem at all.
To completely control the power within the Dragon Core, one must resort to extraordinary means.
He began to circulate the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, and it was obvious that the power of the two Dragon Core was no match for the strength of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art Technique itself.
Huo Yuhao formed hand seals, and a faint golden light emanated from his body. The profound power of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, gradually tamed the violent dragon power. In his Sea of Consciousness, the balanced absorption allowed the illusory images of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Sea of Consciousness to rise and solidify once more, their power growing ever stronger.
With a long roar to the sky, the dragon's might was overwhelming.
"Roar--"
A deafening dragon roar echoed in the spiritual world, terrifying Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Xiao Bing Ice into trembling, hiding in a corner, too afraid to move. Even if it used its primal power to resist such a display, it would be futile.
The three dragon kings exuded an aura of dominance akin to three mafia bosses, completely controlling this spiritual world. Their power was unparalleled; their oppressive aura was so strong that they dared not even breathe.
Huo Yuhao's power of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire continued to rise.
He reached the critical point, and the two forces increased significantly, which also boosted his own cultivation level. His cultivation level jumped to level 60, and it was a steady climb, from level 50 at the beginning, to level 55, level 56... and finally stopped steadily at the threshold of level 60.
The moonlight was like water, Huo Yuhao felt his Soul Power surging like the tide. The immense energy of the two Dragon Core flowed endlessly within his body, directly pushing his cultivation level to the threshold of level sixty.
This seemingly astonishing breakthrough was actually a natural progression, a case of hard work paying off. Even before arriving in the Sun Moon Empire, beneath his disguise as Soul Ancestor, he was already a genuine Soul King. Otherwise, why would he have bothered hunting for Soul Ring?
However, most of his Soul Power was also used to develop his cultivation technique, which allowed his physical body to reach a terrifying level.
"Not enough..."
Huo Yuhao stared at the last Dragon Core in his palm, his eyes flashing with golden light. As the Dragon Core pill entered his stomach, the Golden Dragon King's primal power erupted, strengthening the Golden Dragon King's essence. The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, who should have been close to reaching the Golden Dragon King level, was once again left behind, and the Golden Dragon King was strengthened again.
Instantly, his cultivation level was boosted back to level 65.
In fact, these Dragon Core did not release all the energy within their bodies.
Huo Yuhao has only absorbed half of the power from the few Dragon Core so far.
Huo Yuhao, who has been advancing in ranks, needs an opponent.
Afterwards, he ran to the Lotus Sea of Divine Soul to find Third Prince Nezha, and get beaten up.
Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, a lotus flower blooms. Huo Yuhao, holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, stands opposite the white-robed Third Prince Nezha.
"Watch out for your gun!"
Nezha's spear strikes like a dragon, its moves imbued with the killing intent of a thousand years of battlefield experience. Wherever the spear tip points, it is sometimes like a raging storm, sometimes as still as water, unpredictable yet carrying the might of blazing Lie Yan. Its attacks are flawless, its main focus being swift as the wind, silent as the forest, swift as fire, and unpredictable as the shadows.
Huo Yuhao fought and retreated, employing unorthodox tactics. He attempted to counter with a strategy of striking first after being attacked later, repeatedly turning the tide at the last moment. However, the difference in skill remained obvious. Every strike from Nezha was imbued with the experience of countless life-and-death battles, while Huo Yuhao's moves, though agile and varied, lacked the edge of constant combat on the battlefield. He was still slightly inferior, relying on a strategy of striking first after being attacked later, a long-term plan with short-term efficiency, to achieve victory in every battle.
"Your marksmanship..." Nezha paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, "You have ideas, but you're still lacking in refinement."
Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his brow, his eyes burning with even greater fighting spirit. "Again!"
Amidst the clash of gunfire, a hint of master-disciple dynamic gradually emerged between the two.
However, Huo Yuhao's marksmanship is still far from reaching the level of Third Prince Nezha.
Refining the Dragon Core isn't something that can be done completely in a day; Huo Yuhao still has plenty of time.
He clearly understood this point, and his goal in traveling to another timeline also needed to be slightly changed, since the purpose of controlling the killing intent in the Slaughter City had already been achieved.
Now, we'll have to see how the other inheritors of the divine power interact.
Of course, Huo Yuhao would never want to get close to Tang San; all he wanted was to kill that guy.
Then there's Qian Renxue, also known as Xue Qinghe. Huo Yuhao has a great interest in this person. Although Gu Yi also possesses Angel Martial Soul...
However, she is not the successor of the God of Angels after all. Although I sometimes admire Qian Renxue for being so naive and innocent, she is not sweet at all. It is said that she also had a scandal with Tang San.
He had been an undercover agent for the prince for so long, but suddenly he was exposed, failed to inherit the throne, and all his efforts over the years were ruined.
And that useless God of Angels, although useless, you should still pay attention to him.
Most importantly, Qian Renxue is Bibi Dong's daughter.
Whether you say it's out of concern for Bibi Dong or to make contact with the inheritors of the divine power, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, he'll be going to Sea God Island someday.
The course of history cannot be changed, but some things can be changed, namely human emotions.
He explored among the gods he encountered, sensing murderous intent within the Slaughter City. The Rakshasa God represented evil, but what could the Angel God and the Sea God reveal to him? The Sea God, after all, was nothing more than the power of faith.
Although he had already taken a different path, the conditions for establishing Godhood still required him to undergo a new transformation.
Only by reaching a state of being able to grasp the Sun Moon and pluck stars from the sky, and being an ordinary person who is indifferent to the world, can one crush their enemy when seeking revenge.
