Chapter 203: Do You Understand the Value of Undergoing Assessment During Combat?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao shook his head with amusement, looking towards Gu Yue Na who was preparing things in the center of the room.

"Sister Na, how are preparations going on the Star Dou side?"

"They're already prepared, but won't twenty-plus hundred-thousand-year soul beasts be too many? This is just from the Star Dou Great Forest; the Extreme North side, the Snow Empress should have arranged about the same number of soul beasts, right?"

Gu Yue Na frowned slightly, smiling somewhat helplessly: "Even if we forcibly tear open the Dragon Tomb's spatial barrier to maintain a space passage, this quantity is too much."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, "We'll probably need to stay inside for quite a while; we need to arrange more powerhouses to prop up the space passage."

The Dragon Tomb is a small plane, with its own rules existing; it can only accommodate Soul Masters below rank fifty soul power, and soul power cannot be used within it. Soul Masters above rank fifty can use soul power, but will be repelled by the Dragon Tomb.

His and Gu Yue Na's strength has already severely exceeded this category; if they want to enter, the only method is to violently break open the spatial barrier. Similar to what Gu Yue Na did in the original work — having fierce beasts including Di Tian attack together, violently propping open a space passage, resisting the small plane's rules.

But now Di Tian and the other fierce beasts are basically all Branch Tower Masters; leaving the Douluo Federation for a long time will definitely attract the attention of all parties, and it can't be hidden from the Spirit Pagoda's internal members either.

The Star Luo Continent is extremely far from the Douluo Continent, and that Dragon Valley place is a small world; if they act secretly, a group of Branch Tower Masters and Tower Master Successors disappearing for several months would blow up the entire Spirit Pagoda. The contradictions accumulated by various factions all along might all be detonated.

Official important members... this part is the problem.

But it's good now; Ning Fengzhi's proposal gave them a perfectly valid reason; even taking away some powerhouses won't arouse others' suspicion.

A master worrying about his disciple's safety and secretly following to Star Luo — what's the issue?

If the time spent in Dragon Valley is too long, the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo Federation can completely take the blame for them; the Spirit Pagoda unable to find people would also have a venting target, avoiding internal strife.

As for what the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo Federation will become at that time... since they both entered the trap following the other's intention, the consequences will be borne by the other party.

"Di Tian needs to hold down the Douluo Continent to prevent Spirit Pagoda internal members from rebelling and causing trouble. Because of my and Wu Lin's relationship, the Snow Empress and Bear Lord leaving secretly with us is understandable in the eyes of other Spirit Pagoda members. The Myriad Demon King and the rest — you arrange as you see fit. With two Limit Douluo leading, plus dozens of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, propping up the space passage should be sufficient."

Huo Yuhao said: "Don't think it's too much; in all matters it's still..."

"Better to be a bit more cautious."

Gu Yue Na blinked, laughing lightly: "If you hadn't reached cultivation approaching Soul Sage, Yuhao, you'd probably prepare for another period of time, right?"

The plan to go to Dragon Valley began preparation half a year ago; the Star Dou Great Forest and Extreme North started selecting soul beasts to go to the Star Luo Continent from that time. Selected soul beasts would be arranged in Yuhao's half-plane, and after the suitable timing arrived, they would be brought to Star Luo together to open the Dragon Tomb.

She originally thought this time would need much longer; she didn't expect that with this Star Luo Delegation's arrival, Yuhao would seize the opportunity to make the decision.

Based on her understanding of Yuhao, this only explained one thing —

"Yuhao, even without using those trump cards, once you become a Soul Sage, you'll be able to handle Limit Douluo too, right?"

Gu Yue Na's lips curved slightly, her amethyst-like eyes holding a knowing smile, "Is it because of the Soul True Body?"

In her view, since Yuhao made this decision now, it meant the other party already had confidence to deal with most unexpected situations.

After all, he's the Limit Douluo most capable of "playing it safe".

And powerful strength is undoubtedly the best guarantee against all kinds of accidents.

Huo Yuhao looked at her, smiling faintly, "In a certain sense, more or less. Historically, the one with the greatest improvement at the Soul Sage stage is probably me. Although compared to a true Limit Douluo, I lack a bit in endurance, at least the combat power is real and solid." The Ice Emperor Martial Soul is a living martial soul; its improvement at the Soul Sage stage can be called terrifying, allowing him to gain the Ice Emperor's peak power.

And the Ice Emperor, as a four-hundred-thousand-year fierce beast, is enough to rival a rank 98 Super Douluo. However, this is the amplification the Ice Emperor from ten thousand years ago could give him.

The current Ice Emperor Martial Soul possesses the demigod-level Water Dragon King Origin; the Ice Emperor as a spirit soul has also gained sublimation. Based on his understanding of himself, now using the Ice Emperor True Body again, he can rival a true demigod!

Although because of the soul power gap between Soul Sage and Limit Douluo, even with twin soul cores, the time he can fight in Ice Emperor True Body state isn't long, but having limit combat power and not having it are two completely different things.

Originally thought this time would be different from ten thousand years ago, but habit is habit; he ultimately still ended up living like the Ten Li Slope Sword God.

"However, the true reason prompting me to make this decision actually has nothing to do with strength." Huo Yuhao suddenly changed his tone, "Even if possible, before this trip to Star Luo ends, I might not choose to break through to Soul Sage."

Break through for what? Right now, as long as he hasn't reached Soul Sage cultivation, he has a greatest guarantee — the Divine Throne's assessment!

The Eternal Lord gave him very broad time; before breaking through to Soul Sage, he can go to the Divine Throne's interior for assessment at any time.

This is the biggest reason prompting him to go to Star Luo now.

Do you understand the value of undergoing assessment during combat?

If you don't understand, look at Di Tian and Tang Wulin.

When Di Tian led fierce beasts to attack Tang Wulin, the latter used a Sea God Trial and directly vanished, running off to undergo assessment.

What use no matter how strong Di Tian is?

He can only be at a loss.

And he can now do something similar. Just needs a single thought, and the Eternal Lord can pull him into the Eternal Domain, jumping outside the Three Realms; even a true god arriving couldn't keep him.

And because Gu Yue Na has an Equal Contract with him, and also possesses the Star's Favor, in the Divine Throne's assessment rules, it counts as his power; when necessary he can even pull the other party along to escape.

Advance: he can break through to Soul Sage, add a soul ring to the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, directly rivaling Limit.

Retreat: he can not break through, retreat to the Eternal Domain at any time.

There's no time safer than now.

Seeing Gu Yue Na looking at him with some doubt upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but stroke her hair, "If there's a need, you'll understand. Right now the Holy Spirit Cult is clearly targeting me and you. In other words, they still need me; but if it's later, the situation will be different. So whether from a safety angle or a timing angle, going to Star Luo now is the best choice."

The Holy Spirit Cult sought him out hoping someone could restrict that god; right now the Holy Spirit Cult is still "recruiting", showing they still have this need.

In other words, that god hasn't completed Nirvana yet; after all, the Holy Spirit Cult was never that god's match to begin with; if the other party had already recovered, the Holy Spirit Cult might not dare play petty tricks.

And in the situation of being unable to confirm that god's Nirvana progress, the Holy Spirit Cult's invitation is no less than an ultimatum to him.

If he continues waiting, who knows what variables will appear later. Can't expect his own godhood speed to be faster than a god's Nirvana speed... that's not confidence, that's arrogance.
