Chapter 148: Nirvana's Deity, The Giant Pit Dug Out By The Golden Dragon King

Without further words, gray mist began to spread around Huo Yuhao, and a layer of silver-white armor was donned upon his body.

The armor's lines were sharp as ice crystals, its joints inlaid with dark blue soul guide patterns, and a mist-like gray light halo flowed at the helmet's eye position.

Once this suit of armor covered him, Huo Yuhao's aura had already risen several levels.

"I don't believe it. You're merely a Soul King; even if you're a Battle Armor Master, what can you do? Since you've come before me, then come with me!"

The Evil Soul Master's face was ferocious; she suddenly lunged, five fingers forming a claw, blood-colored soul power condensing into sharp blades, striking straight for Huo Yuhao's throat!

A Soul King, even with Battle Armor enhancement, comparable to a Soul Sage, absolutely could not block this strike of hers.

However, just as her sharp claws were about to touch Huo Yuhao's throat——

"Hum!"

Beneath Huo Yuhao, five black soul rings rose; the gray mist in his dual pupils suddenly boiled, as if the Abyss had been awakened, a bone-chilling cold that made one's soul tremble instantly enveloping the full venue.

Behind him, a huge vertical eye illusion silently emerged; merely being gazed upon, the Evil Soul Master felt her soul as if locked by some existence, even her thoughts stagnating for an instant.

"Body Martial Soul Second Awakening?!"

Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, besides sublimating martial soul quality, is also an amplification state, capable of raising a Soul Master's strength by one hundred percent, or even crossing ranks.

The Evil Soul Master's brows slightly furrowed; before she could even react——

"Chi!"

A five-meter emerald-green light pillar violently shot out from the vertical eye that suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead. The light was not dazzling, yet contained terrifying energy that made space slightly distort; where it passed, the blood-colored sharp claws were pierced through in a blink.

Destruction Light!

"... You're somewhat underestimated." The Evil Soul Master's pupils contracted tightly; she turned into blood light and fled, dodging the attack, her right hand grasping in the air, a slender blood-colored long sword condensing out of thin air.

Blood Prison Thousand Eyes!

Along with a cold low chant, centered on the Evil Soul Master, the entire sky suddenly manifested countless scarlet light dots; at first merely stars, in a moment they swelled and enlarged——those were actually tens of thousands of cold blood-colored pupils, densely covering the firmament, each gleaming with a bone-chilling cold light.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——!"

Myriad blood-colored light spears shot out from those ferocious blood pupils, weaving in the air into a sky-covering, earth-obscuring Death Web. Scarlet light dyed the entire heaven and earth blood-red; violent blood qi formed a wave, pouring down toward Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward one step; a Star Curtain blocked before him, stopping most blood spears; his figure flashed, already arriving before the Evil Soul Master.

In an instant, centered on him, gray mist spread wildly like a living thing; where it passed, blood-colored soul power melted like ice and snow meeting a blazing sun, emitting "sizzling" corrosion sounds, actually forcibly devoured and disintegrated.

The Evil Soul Master discovered her soul power and spiritual power were draining at a certain rate; her heart sank.

A domain that erodes spiritual power and soul power?

This kid's talent and strength……seem to have exceeded her expectations.

But it's fine; at least he's not what she previously thought, a Limit Douluo disguised as a Soul King……

Even having lost the Battle Armor, cultivation temporarily dropping to around rank ninety, with her Super Douluo combat experience, physical quality, spiritual power and soul power gap, it's not something the opponent can match.

The Blood-Eyed Evil Soul Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while coping with the attacks, said in a deep voice:

"What use is staying in the Federation? Even if your talent is peerless, in three hundred years you're still a pile of yellow earth; surrender and join us, the Holy Religion is the best soil for your growth!"

"..."

Huo Yuhao remained silent, merely his attacks growing increasingly fierce, while mixing bloodline power into the undead qi to influence the opponent.

"Hmph," the Evil Soul Master felt her mood growing increasingly irritable, coldly snorted, blood light surging in her eyes, "Ingrate!"

She fiercely bit her tongue tip, a mouthful of essence blood spraying on the blood-colored long sword. The sword instantly erupted with piercing blood light; the patterns on the sword body writhed like blood vessels, a fierce evil qi sweeping out.

"Blood Prison Ten Thousand Souls Devour!"

The Evil Soul Master pointed her long sword at the sky; countless resentful souls surged from the sword body, shrill howls resounding through the clouds. Those resentful souls transformed into ferocious ghost faces, baring fangs and brandishing claws as they pounced on Huo Yuhao; where they passed, even the air was corroded into sizzling sounds.

From Huo Yuhao's dual eyes, a brilliant golden light burst forth.

——Soul Shock!

Golden light collided with resentful souls, erupting with deafening booming; the storm swept the surroundings, lingering for a long time.

The Evil Soul Master saw Huo Yuhao contend with her this long using his "weak" soul power; her brows secretly knitted tightly; observing seriously for a moment, an inconceivable thought rose in her heart.

Soul Core, he has a Soul Core?!

She herself is a Super Douluo; even with cultivation dropped to rank 90, the Soul Core hasn't disappeared; it's Double Soul Core, while Huo Yuhao is merely a Soul King!

The two's soul power ranks are worlds apart; if not for a Soul Core absorbing outside world Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to supplement, his soul power should have long been exhausted!

A Soul King condensing a Soul Core……does this exist in history?

A trace of shock flashed in the Evil Soul Master's blood pupils, then turned to greed; her blood-colored long robe fluttered under the surging soul power, not caring in the slightest about her increasingly worsening state, "Unexpected that a mere Soul King could actually condense a Soul Core……Huo Yuhao, you're more valuable than I imagined!"

"No matter how strong the Federation, what use? Are there true God Rank existences? Our Holy Religion has them; become my Cult's Holy Son, you'll be the next Deity, immortal, overlooking the Continent!"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes fluctuated; in his heart he said: "I Lao, it's done, switch."

The gray mist in his eyes suddenly boiled, as if a forbidden sluice gate had been opened.

The Evil Soul Master and that pair of eyes gazed at each other, sensing an unprecedented threat, heart shocked to the extreme.

What is this?

Before she could react, she felt her thoughts suddenly freeze——the entire world as if the pause button had been pressed.

Necromancy——Control Soul Fire!

This Evil Soul Master consumed to this extent, fundamentally cannot resist I Lao's magic.

"Huo Yuhao" looked at the Evil Soul Master he controlled, asked in a low voice:

"Tell me all your purposes and the Holy Spirit Cult's Deity matters!"

"The purpose is……"

The Evil Soul Master's expression was dull; pupils suddenly dilated, whole body trembling violently, as if about to explode directly.

"Huo Yuhao's" eyes condensed; knowing someone had placed a curse on her soul and martial soul origin, unable to reveal this information, he cleanly used necromancy to perform Soul Suppression.

The Evil Soul Master only then normalized a bit, began to answer:

"Our purpose is to find seeds to become Peak Powerhouses, and also collect God Shards……"

"As for the deity our Cult worships, I only know he is a Divine Sense from the God Realm, reshaped into a Soul Body by the Cult Master using a Blood Curse, currently undergoing Nirvana……"

"However, no one knows whether we can truly control him after he succeeds in Nirvana; after all, he is a true god, so we need to balance his existence. Huo Yuhao, in my view, has this possibility, which is why I am especially excited……"

At first, even upon hearing news of the God Shard, Tianmeng and the other Soul Spirits could remain calm, but when they heard of the Divine Sense, their expressions changed.

"Holy crap, a deity's Divine Sense?" Tianmeng Ice Worm's pupils quaked, "No way, does this thing fall down too?"

"What's there to be surprised about?"

Evil Emperor snapped back, letting out a cold snort, "Don't just think about the benefits. Even divine artifacts and God Shards have fallen down, so what's strange about a Divine Sense? Moreover, he might not have fallen down at all, but rather dared not fight the Golden Dragon King and fled down here himself."

Huo Yuhao likewise kept a calm expression, "Within expectations."

Just as Evil Emperor said, with divine artifacts, with God Shards, what is so strange about a Divine Sense falling onto Douluo Continent?

Lao Jin is a lone dragon; when he killed, he could not verify every deity's condition, nor did he have the leisure for it.

Moreover, on that battlefield where deities were being madly slaughtered, myriad deities with differing thoughts could make any manner of decision.

Fleeing the God Realm, finding ways to transfer their Divine Sense to the lower realm, transferring their Divine Sense into a divine artifact…… not impossible.

People driven to a dead end will struggle; one cannot expect all deities to fight to the death for the God Realm and Lao Jin, right?

Blessing is where misfortune rests; misfortune is where blessing leans.

The God Realm met calamity, and what he gained could not all be benefits; Lao Jin killing deities was not for the lower realm's welfare either.

Lao Jin only handles the killing; he brought benefits to the lower realm, but also dug traps.

Obviously, this era's Holy Spirit Cult is one of the great traps Lao Jin dug out…… One Of.
