The lifelong soul power of a half-step Limit Douluo plus the energy of an eight-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast was simply too vast. The million-year soul ring, which had not had the slightest bit of a change in three years, was almost instantly filled.
Of course, the ultimate goal of a quantitative change was to cause a qualitative change. It would still take some time for Zhongli Wu to completely transform his lifelong soul power and the Evil Emperor's soul ring's energy into the origin that supported this million-year soul ring.
The spiritual sense of the Evil Emperor and the soul of Zhongli Wu had almost instantly appeared in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
Even if Zhongli Wu knew that the Evil Emperor had surely left a backup plan on this soul ring, he, whose lifespan was about to end from being hit by the Light of Time and Space, his original body also could not hold on for much longer. And once Zhongli Wu had controlled Huo Yuhao to absorb the Evil Emperor's soul ring, the latter's goal would be to find an opportunity to possess Huo Yuhao's body.
The body of a soul beast could not cover up its aura, but the body of a human could on the contrary cover up most of it! What's more, Huo Yuhao's own cultivation and spiritual power were so strong. Once the possession was successful, and in the future, he had completed the yin-yang complementary three soul cores, then the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Lord would have absolute confidence in passing the next great calamity, and would even use this human body to charge towards the level of a god. Under the strong trend of greed, only then had he chosen to take a risk. From the looks of it now, the opportunity had already arrived. Success seemed to be right before his eyes.
So, the Evil Emperor was now a little anxious. He was just waiting for Zhongli Wu to make a move, and then with a full-power strike, would completely erase the soul of this Holy Spirit Cult's Pontiff. Neither of them wished to destroy this body. Otherwise, what meaning would there be in their possession? Huo Yuhao had already reached the verge of collapse. What they had to do now was to, in one fell swoop, obtain the control of the body, and then with their own powerful spiritual power after fusing with Huo Yuhao, to control the rampaging soul power to merge into the million-year soul ring, and finally to slowly absorb it.
The Evil Emperor and Zhongli Wu were very satisfied with the condition of this body. Everything was even better than what the two of them had imagined. A perfect body, perfect attributes, a powerful spiritual sea that could bear the Evil Emperor's spiritual power, and the soul power that had not been absorbed but was extremely pure, plus the prototype of a fifth million-year soul ring—this was simply the best gift that the heavens had bestowed upon him!
"Evil Emperor! You should still obediently become a soul ring for this body of mine!" Although Zhongli Wu was far inferior to the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Lord in terms of soul strength and spiritual power cultivation, after his three years of transformation, Huo Yuhao's body had already completely become his home ground. Only within Huo Yuhao's body could his Death God Demonic Puppet martial soul be considered complete. Naturally, it could also allow him to burst out with a combat power close to his peak period.
"Jiejiejie! Human, don't you underestimate me, this one! Just your little bit of a pitiful spiritual power is not even enough for me, this one, to fill the gap between my teeth!" The Evil Emperor had also left a complete spiritual origin in the soul ring. If it was just to deal with Zhongli Wu's one soul, it could still do so with ease.
The two sides, confident in their own formidable strength, an unknown great battle had in an instant erupted in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
The Evil Emperor had stretched out countless tentacles and had coiled them around the huge demonic puppet that was being controlled by Zhongli Wu. A round of a strong, evil light had suddenly lit up in the sky above the spiritual sea.
By the side of Zhongli Wu's soulless body, Huo Yuhao was sitting cross-legged. Behind his back, a blood-red evil eye had then appeared. An evil light had sparkled, illuminating the entire Holy Spirit Hall a sheet of a flush.
On Huo Yuhao's forehead, a vertical eye had slowly opened. Around the vertical eye had appeared one after another of a dark red, strange pattern. These patterns were like one after another of a dark red little snake, crawling outwards from his vertical eye, and then spreading towards his entire head, as if to devour his entire head.
The sea water in his spiritual sea had already completely solidified and had begun to show one after another of a crack. A dark red, magma-like liquid had emerged from these cracks and had quickly spread throughout the entire spiritual sea. The Evil Emperor's goal was very simple. It was to devour this entire spiritual sea!
How could Zhongli Wu have let it act wantonly in his future body? The huge demonic puppet was like a demon god that had descended from ancient times. It was roaring as it tore apart the Evil Emperor's tentacles that were coiled around its body, one by one. With the breaking of every tentacle, the Evil Emperor's momentum could not help but be weakened by a few points.
The Evil Emperor was furious. The damage to his spiritual origin would undoubtedly cause problems in his future control of Huo Yuhao's body. So one after another of a light of destruction was, as if it cost nothing, bombarded on the demonic puppet's body.
Boom boom boom!
The demonic puppet had been pierced with several holes by the Evil Emperor's light of destruction. However, it had also successfully torn off more than ten of the Evil Emperor's tentacles and had even, with one slap, sent the Evil Emperor's huge body into a stagger.
Of course, the Evil Emperor had directly launched a counter-attack on Zhongli Wu with an even stronger thorn ring. The thorn ring's restraint on the soul and spirit had directly made Zhongli Wu's already weak soul's main body a lot more illusory.
Zhongli Wu, with his top-tier evil martial soul, the Death God Demonic Puppet, could actually fight to a draw with the Evil Emperor's spiritual origin!
In the deepest part of the spiritual sea, in the Pope's palace.
Huo Yuhao was looking at everything that was happening in the distance with a blank expression. This was his final stronghold, and also the necessary place for Zhongli Wu and the Evil Emperor to completely erase his soul. As long as his soul and spiritual origin were still shrunk here, one day it was not impossible for him to turn the tables.
Here, Huo Yuhao was sitting around a piece with the long-lost Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Ten Thousand Demon King, the Thunderflame Purgatory Vine, the Ice Empress, as well as Electrolux. In these three years, they had all successively recovered from the heavy damage of the heavenly tribulation back then. It was just that Huo Yuhao had been influenced by the Ten Thousand People Drunk all along and was unable to get in touch with the various soul spirits in his spiritual sea, and had even let them watch a long-lasting great show of spring scenery.
"Yuhao, your current situation is very bad. Your soul has been filled by the demonic puppet, and your physical body has also been slow to recover to its peak. Only your spiritual origin can barely fight," the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was all too clear about Huo Yuhao's physical condition. "Now you want to wait for them to fight until both are injured, and then to find an opportunity to suppress them?"
Huo Yuhao smiled indifferently and said, "Let them fight. When their consumption is about the same, you all can also be a little more at ease. They probably wouldn't have thought that in my spiritual sea, there are so many great gods."
"The key is that I hope they can leave all their energy without a single drop, and to have it merge into my fifth soul ring."
"From the current looks of it, it is still the Evil Emperor who has some of the upper hand," the Ten Thousand Demon King had once, when the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Lord had invaded the Star Dou Great Forest to challenge Di Tian, had had the good fortune to have had a fight with it in terms of spiritual power. The result was obvious. The Ten Thousand Demon King was not this Evil Emperor's opponent. This had made it hold a grudge for many years.
"It's just a struggle of a cornered beast. Huo Yuhao's body is full of the energy factor of the Death God Demonic Puppet. The Pontiff Zhongli can, by relying on this point, consume the Evil Emperor. The final victory is probably still his," Electrolux's analysis was very on point. No matter how formidable the Evil Emperor was in his lifetime, the current it was only left with a spiritual origin. Once it was consumed, it would be completely gone.
"Elder Yi, do you have the confidence to handle them?" Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and asked.
"To deal with them is not a problem. It's just that once the Pontiff Zhongli is completely dead, I'm afraid it will be detected by the members of the Holy Spirit Cult. And your physical body's situation is also troublesome..." Electrolux frowned. "The most crucial thing now is the silver dragon reverse scale that you have triggered. Whether it can draw out that Silver Dragon King to save you."
