As for Original Body Huo Yuhao, he has already infiltrated the Sun Moon Imperial Palace with Heavenly Sun Douluo.
Upon entering the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, Huo Yuhao had already knocked out Heavenly Sun Douluo with Necromancy combined with Spiritual Shock.
On the other side, Clone Huo Yuhao also arrived in front of the main body. The clone and the main body switched positions, and Clone Huo Yuhao carried Heavenly Sun Douluo to meet up with Du Busi.
Meanwhile, Original Body Huo Yuhao, continued to infiltrate the Sun Moon Imperial Palace.
At this time, Xu Tianran was seriously injured, so it would be very easy for Huo Yuhao to pinpoint his location.
Huo Yuhao tore through space and arrived in Xu Tianran's palace, where he found himself transformed into a butcher of the night.
Night? No, even the moon outside seems to have been dyed red.
Even though Xu Tianran had Level 9 Soul Engineer by his side, Huo Yuhao held a blood-stained sword in his hand—his Sword of Emotions —and his Dark Gold Dreadclaw were still active.
Xu Tianran was seriously injured and recuperating in bed, only able to hear the roars of the guards outside.
Then, Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared in front of Xu Tianran.
The two Soul Engineer guards beside him tried to stop him, but a single sword slashed through their bodies, severing them at the waist.
Xu Tianran stared intently, "You, you're Huo Yuhao! What are you doing here? You're here to kill me!"
Huo Yuhao slowly approached, his voice so calm it was suffocating. "Yes, Xu Tianran, I'm here to kill you."
Without further ado, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw tore through the air and swung fiercely, first severing one of his arms.
Xu Tianran roared, but what shocked him even more was, "You've already become Titled Douluo!"
Amidst his agonizing screams, Huo Yuhao coldly replied, "Of course."
Despite the excruciating pain from his severed arm, Xu Tianran gasped, "Did you come here for the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire? Because we invaded their countries, Huo Yuhao. Shrek Academy has always been neutral. Why did you do this? Why do you have to be my enemy?"
Huo Yuhao stood there, sword in hand, the blood still wet on the Sword of Emotions. "You're wrong. What I seek is not revenge for any one nation. I want to unify all the divided empires."
Xu Tianran's eyes widened, almost forgetting the pain. "What... did you say?" He suddenly laughed hoarsely, a desolate and twisted laugh, "I've spent my whole life doing this, what I've always wanted to do, isn't this the goal? Huo Yuhao! You could have cooperated with me, we should have been together, our dreams are the same. Actually, even if we're unified, it doesn't matter who unified it, right? This world is already at peace."
Huo Yuhao did not deny it, but simply said to him, "Perhaps you are right, but I want to be the greatest monarch in the world."
"And you, Xu Tianran, you are the obstacle in my path."
Xu Tianran paused for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, his laughter carrying a hint of madness and admiration. "Hahahaha... Good! Good indeed, Huo Yuhao! I never imagined you had such ambition, such a desire to devour the heavens. You truly deserve to be the Soul Master I've chosen. I really want to recruit you to my Sun Moon Empire!"
Even if you and I were to jointly govern...
Huo Yuhao said coldly, "Unfortunately, we have different paths and cannot work together. What I want to do is far more than this. What you want may just be the unification of the territory, but what I want to establish is a completely new order. You collude with Evil Soul Master, and I hate Evil Soul Master the most. To achieve your goals, you condone the rampage of Evil Soul Master, which is the thing I cannot tolerate the most."
Xu Tianran's voice was bitter, blood continued to gush from his severed arm, and his breath grew weaker and weaker. "If it weren't for the Sun Moon Empire, why would I have summoned the power of the Evil Soul Master?"
"I don't feel resentful or unwilling that Huo Yuhao died at your hands, but Ju Zi was your senior, I've investigated that, and I hope you won't make things difficult for a pregnant woman."
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao decisively replied, "Even without you saying so, I would never hurt Ju Zi."
Xu Tianran's figure grew lighter and lighter, and he said, "Is that so, Huo Yuhao? It seems you were right. Perhaps you can forge a new path, a path I couldn't traverse. This Sun Moon Empire is now in your hands."
He slowly closed his eyes, his last words almost a whisper, "I... maybe I can understand now, Ju Zi, that Sisi feeling he had for you."
"Sorry, I took her away from you."
Xu Tianran was weak, but he still struggled to utter his last words of longing. "And... my sister..."
Huo Yuhao's voice softened slightly as he said, "Don't worry, I won't kill your sister. I'll only kill any princes who pose a threat to Ju Zi, and hand over power entirely to Ju Zi and her son."
A hint of relief flickered in Xu Tianran's unfocused gaze. He forced a smile, his voice barely audible. "It's truly unexpected, somewhat ironic, that in my entire life, the one who understands me best is actually you, Huo Yuhao! If there's a next life, I truly hope to meet you again, Huo Yuhao. Regardless of gender, I want to be your companion."
Huo Yuhao felt something was off about these words: "Then, I'll make it easier for you to leave."
Before he could finish speaking, an invisible Spiritual Shock precisely pierced Xu Tianran's brow, severing all his pain.
Finally, I added two more moves from the Three Forms of Emotion: Sword Falls and Palm Extinguishes.
In this way, Xu Tianran could immerse himself in his emotions and die.
They killed Xu Tianran directly and then cremated his body.
Just in case, Huo Yuhao personally performed the ritual to help Xu Tianran's soul pass on to the next life.
"In the next life, if there's a chance, let's meet again."
At that moment, Xu Tianran truly died.
However, the real massacre began. Huo Yuhao, wielding the Sword of Emotions and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, slaughtered all of Xu Tianran Xu Tianran's relatives, whether they were princes of the Sun Moon Empire or his brothers.
They massacred the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, and with the help of their clones, they weren't afraid of missing a single person.
Xu Tianzhen was kept alive because Xu Tianzhen really naive, and it would be good for her to keep Ju Zi company. However, even though she was naive, we still had to be careful.
With his clone protecting Ju Zi, and having also imbued Ju Zi with his power, anyone who harbors malice towards Ju Zi or causes even the slightest harm will be instantly attacked by the Power of Emotion, even someone at Level 99 will be instantly killed.
Of course, this excludes oneself, since one is the one who exerts the power.
Now that the Ju Zi have been successfully produced, Huo Yuhao instantly swapped positions with his clone.
Huo Yuhao knocked all the maids unconscious and promptly transported them to Xu Tianran's palace. During this time, Huo Yuhao's clones were also on guard, ensuring they weren't separated from their wife and children for even a second.
After dealing with things here, he rushed back as fast as he could.
Then, the clone is withdrawn back into the body.
