#397 - Aren't my tentacles beautiful? (Two in one)

"You mean."

The Evil Emperor tilted his head to look at Tian Meng who was shaking his head, and said hesitantly: "As long as I become your soul, can I become a god like this guy?"

Huo Yuhao helplessly spread his hands: "Although I don't like to talk about this kind of thing as a transaction, but this is indeed what I mean."

"Do you think I will believe your one-sided statement?"

The evil emperor sneered: "Although I don't know how you got this bug to cooperate with you, but this case alone cannot convince me."

"To put it another way, even if what you just explained is true, who can be sure that this situation did not happen by chance? What guarantee can you give me that I will be able to achieve godhood like him?"

"I can promise that."

As if he had anticipated his reaction, Huo Yuhao responded calmly: "Because Brother Tianmeng is not the first soul beast to become a god through this method. Well, come to think of it, you should know the other one too."

I know him too?

The Evil Emperor was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw a girl in a white dress, who looked very similar to Huo Yuhao, separating from him.

"You are the Snow Emperor!?"

Feeling the other party's aura, which was the same as that of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, which had also achieved the status of a priest, the Evil Emperor was shocked, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

No wonder when he saw Huo Yuhao for the first time, he felt that there was an indescribable aura from this guy, which made him feel familiar yet unfamiliar.

It turns out it came from Xue Di.

I really didn't expect that the overlord who ruled the Far North would be willing to become the soul of this kid?

And from the looks of it, the relationship between the two doesn't seem to be ordinary.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Xuedi, you also became a priest after becoming the soul of this human?"

"Whether it is what you feel or not, you should have seen it from my current state, right?"

Xue Di said calmly, "Don't try to ask me to prove anything anymore. My standing here is the best proof. I don't even bother to lie to you about this kind of thing."

The Evil Emperor did not comment, but his eyes suddenly showed some depth: "But I can see that your state is different from that of this insect. He is just an energy body, while you still retain your original body."

"This is for some personal reasons that are not convenient to disclose."

Xue Di glanced at Huo Yuhao and said meaningfully: "You can simply understand that this is a talent that belongs only to my race."

“.”

The Evil Emperor couldn't help but roll his huge eyes upwards, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Although he was not very familiar with Xue Di, he had heard a little about the arrogant character of the King of the Far North.

It is no exaggeration to say that only if the person standing in front of him was the Snow Empress, would he believe that what Huo Yuhao had just said was not a lie.

On the contrary, if it wasn’t the Snow Empress, even if the Beast God Di Tian came, he would still remain skeptical.

Because he knew very well that Di Tian was never an arrogant person, or a proud person in his heart.

He would not hesitate to give up the principles he had long upheld for the sake of what he believed to be a greater good.

Whether he was asked to slaughter a tribe of soul beasts, or to kill himself, who was only slightly weaker than him and ranked second on the list of ferocious beasts, as long as Di Tian felt that doing so would benefit the entire tribe, he would choose to do it.

Even if it means shamefully cheating with lies, even if it costs your own reputation.

Of course, perhaps during this process, the Beast God would hesitate for a moment, but this would not affect the final result.

He did not comment too much on Di Tian's style of doing things. After all, he himself was not a good person, and could even be worse.

Di Tian at least has some principles. When he encounters problems, he will do whatever it takes without any hesitation.

Compared to the two of them, the third ranked Xue Di is a little different. The pride in her heart does not allow her to use despicable means such as deception to achieve her goal. Instead of using this method, she may be more inclined to beat herself up as the target, and then hold a long sword to her neck, forcing herself to choose between life and death.

"I already understand the situation."

Looking at Huo Yuhao again, the Evil Emperor looked him up and down with some suspicion: "But I still want to know, why did you choose me?"

"Logically speaking, with this ability, even if you only find a ten-year-old spiritual soul beast, you can make it become a priest in the process of becoming a soul spirit, right?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "It's not as simple as you say. Not to mention that this method is not omnipotent, we are just crossing the river by feeling the stones now."

Having said this, he suddenly paused, and couldn't help but glance at the Evil Emperor with an inexplicable tone.

"Besides that, there are some private reasons that are inconvenient to disclose."

This was his concern. Compared to the three souls, Xue Di, Tian Meng Ge, and the Sea Princess, whose cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the world, the remaining souls in the spiritual space had not yet reached the qualifications to cross the threshold of becoming a god.

For example, the Ice Emperor, whose cultivation has reached 400,000 years, is still in the category of level 98, considering that a soul beast that has broken through 500,000 years is enough to be comparable to the Ultimate Douluo.

As for Xiaobai, whose cultivation has been less than 300,000 years, Alu, whose cultivation has been 200,000 years, and Liya and the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, who have been cultivating for 100,000 years, they are still a long way from reaching their limit.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know whether these people would face any risks when their lives transitioned.

Although this method should be feasible judging from the fact that Niu Tian and Titan were resurrected as gods in the God Realm with only 100,000 years of cultivation, he still planned to experiment more with top soul beasts like the Evil Emperor first, and then let Bingdi and others try it after he has thoroughly understood the rules.

And there is another reason he didn't mention, that is, as the most powerful spiritual soul beast on the continent, the skills provided by the Evil Emperor are definitely the best of the best.

This can be seen from the battle just now. Although the two skills of Light of Destruction and Light of Space-Time are not magical skills yet, they are able to injure Brother Tianmeng to such an extent. If they become magical skills, what will happen! ?

Huo Yuhao, who was a god in his previous life, knew very well that even if they became gods of the same level, their combat effectiveness would be divided into different levels. If conditions allowed, he would naturally choose a soul beast with more powerful strength as his soul spirit.

"I think I have explained everything that needs to be explained. Now it's your turn to make a choice."

Staring at the huge eyeball, Huo Yuhao asked word by word.

"You only have this one chance. Tell me your choice. Agree or refuse?"

“.”

For no reason, the Evil Emperor couldn't help but shiver.

He didn't know why, but when he heard Huo Yuhao talking about personal reasons, he felt a sense of panic in his heart.

Did I provoke this guy in some way?

That's not right! Haven't I been sleeping all these years! ?

Although he was somewhat worried that Huo Yuhao would make things difficult for him, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up this hard-earned opportunity.

Are you kidding? It's so hard to get the chance to become a god, but if he lets it slip away, given his current serious injury, he probably won't live for many years.

Of course, even if he wasn't injured, he would still die from the upcoming 800,000-year catastrophe.

After all, he didn't have the Lake of Life to help him recover from his injuries. Although he successfully escaped from the Star Dou Great Forest, the injuries he left behind have not fully recovered even now.

It is no exaggeration to say that from the moment he was defeated by Di Tian, ​​his origin was damaged and he was doomed to have no future.

Without further hesitation, the Evil Emperor gave his answer: "I agree."

"A wise choice. Then we can prepare to begin the ceremony."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and suddenly asked, “By the way, don’t you have a human form? If your body is too big, it might be inconvenient when we start the ceremony.”

The Evil Emperor was somewhat confused: "Why do you want to transform into a human form? Am I not perfect and beautiful enough as I am now?"

“.”

The whole place suddenly fell silent.

Looking at the huge eyeballs with dozens of black tentacles waving in front of them, which would destroy the three views of ordinary people and make them doubt their lives at a glance, Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng opened their mouths, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask again.

".Are you serious?"

"Of course I am serious. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when I was not yet the strongest in the tribe, I was already the most popular person in the Evil Eye Clan."

As he spoke, the Evil Emperor's dozens of tentacles danced even more happily.

"Look at these dark tentacles and this smooth skin. Sorry, my origin has been damaged a little bit. I have some wrinkles and have indeed become a little uglier."

I think the key point may not be the wrinkles.

Huo Yuhao silently complained in his heart, but did not argue about this meaningless aesthetic issue. Instead, he comforted the other party softly.

"Don't worry, as long as you become a spirit, these injuries can be healed as before."

The Evil Emperor nodded seriously: "That's good. I will show you my most beautiful appearance then. I believe it will be a feast for your eyes."

“.”

"Yuhao, since the matter has been resolved, I will go back first."

"Brother, brother too."

Coincidentally, Xue Di and Tian Meng pursed their lips tightly and reintegrated into his body without any warning, as if they were avoiding some ferocious beast.

Listening to the unbridled laughter coming from the spiritual space, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and urged with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get started."

"oh."

The evil emperor honestly retracted his tentacles and asked, "What should I do?"

"Just stay where you are."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao began to recite obscure inscriptions. Gray talismans emerged from the void and fell around the Evil Emperor like flowing light, encircling the two of them.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just as he turned around to ask Gu Yuena to stay away, Huo Yuhao seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at the Evil Emperor again.

"By the way, do you know what is in the center of Jingyang Mountain Range?"

After the investigation just now, he and Gu Yuena have confirmed that the remains of the Dragon King are not in the Demon Forest.

In addition to the Qiankun Wenqing Valley he had visited before, he had already ruled out two of the three possible locations. Now the only one left was the Jingyang Mountains, which he had thought was the most likely.

Considering that the Demon Forest is adjacent to the Jingyang Mountains, the Evil Emperor who has lived here for many years might know some inside information, so he asked casually.

However, what Huo Yuhao did not expect was that what he thought was just a casual question actually led him to ask about some unknown secrets.

"I don't know exactly what's inside, but I can vaguely feel that it's a very scary thing."

As he spoke, the Evil Emperor's huge eyes actually flashed with fear, and he added with lingering fear: "The reason why I live in the Evil Demon Forest, where resources are even more scarce, is because I feel the existence of that thing."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and referred to the situation of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Although the power left behind by the Dragon King was very powerful, since the main body was already dead, the destructiveness of these powers to the surrounding environment would not be too high.

Just like the magma in the crater of a volcano, it does not pose much threat to the surrounding area on a normal day, but it is almost terrifyingly destructive when it erupts.

Similarly, no matter how powerful a force is, if it is not driven by consciousness, it will only dissipate bit by bit and will not deliberately bring destruction to the surroundings.

If that’s the case, then what is the Evil Emperor afraid of?

The hundred thousand year old immortal herbs of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were not afraid of the energy emitted by the Ice and Fire Dragon King. How could he, a fellow with nearly eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, be forced to move to another place to live?

"The horror I'm talking about may not be what you think."

As if he was considering how to explain, the Evil Emperor thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You should know that we soul beasts need to survive a heavenly tribulation every 100,000 years, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Are these two things related?"

"Of course there is a connection. The effect of that thing is to greatly increase the power of the thunder tribulation."

“.”

Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao frowned suddenly: "Is there such a thing?"

"right."

The Evil Emperor said in a serious tone, "Have you never thought about this? The Jingyang Mountains are the largest gathering place for soul beasts in the Sun Moon Continent, but why there is not even one beast on the list? You know, even a place like the Far North can produce two beasts that are on the list of ferocious beasts."

Huo Yuhao seemed to understand something. “So what you mean is that all the hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the Jingyang Mountains that were qualified to be classified as fierce beasts died without exception under the powerful heavenly tribulation. This is what led to the situation you described?”

Before the evil emperor could reply, he could not help but ask: "Why don't they leave there like you?"

"Because I'm the only one who knows this."

The Evil Emperor said proudly, "You should know that when the spiritual power is strong enough, you can sense something like luck or destiny. As a member of the Evil Eye Clan, I have a single spiritual power attribute. My talent in this aspect is naturally not comparable to those members of the clan with mixed attributes, or even other spiritual attribute soul beasts."

Huo Yuhao nodded. He already knew this in his previous life.

The attributes of the Evil Eye Clan are varied. Almost every Evil Eye has two or three different attributes. Some even have as many as ten attributes, which is even more exaggerated than Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King.

But the strange thing about this race is that the more attributes they have, the stronger they are not. Instead, those evil eyes with rare and single attributes have stronger talents and strengths.

The Evil Emperor was the only one in the Evil Eye clan at that time whose single attribute was mental power. This made him possess a terrifying talent in mental power that was almost unmatched.

In this case, it is understandable that the Evil Emperor can sense more of the mysterious destiny than other soul beasts.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao understood what he meant, the Evil Emperor continued to explain.

"With my unique spiritual power talent, when I was close to 200,000 years of cultivation, I vaguely sensed that I might not be able to survive this heavenly tribulation, so I thought about looking for an opportunity to break through elsewhere. Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the Jingyang Mountains, that premonition magically disappeared."

"From that moment on, I became cautious and moved to the deserted Demon Forest. I only returned to the Jingyang Mountains to look for food when I was hungry."

"In the long time that followed, as my mental strength grew stronger, my premonitions became clearer and clearer. After several comparative tests, I finally determined that the source of all this came from the center of the Jingyang Mountains."

"I see."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and asked again: "Then you didn't tell the other soul beasts about this?"

"ah?"

As if it was difficult to understand his question, the Evil Emperor asked in confusion.

"Why tell them? Wouldn't it be better to let them die and then be the boss?"

Huo Yuhao choked and subconsciously wanted to say something, but unexpectedly the Evil Emperor took the initiative to interrupt him.

"I know what you want to say. My strength has surpassed the soul beasts in Jingyang Mountain Range and Demon Forest. Even if I tell this to other soul beasts, their strength will not be able to surpass me. I will still be the king here."

"But I'm different from Di Tian. I don't care about the life or death of the soul beasts in Jingyang Mountain Range. This world is all about the survival of the fittest. Even if they can't threaten me right now, what if I get injured like I am now?"

"I don't want to be seriously injured one day in the future, and suddenly someone appears in my territory to challenge my position."

Huo Yuhao remained silent, but did not say anything more.

He was not interested in demanding high moral standards from the people around him, not to mention that the person in front of him was a soul beast that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and whose thinking had long been shaped. As long as he was not provoked, he would not care so much.

After thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "By the way, have you ever thought about going to see what is buried in the center of the mountain range?"

"Of course I thought about it, but I didn't go there myself. Instead, I sent a tribe member to explore. Later, I heard from that tribe member that it was a dead silent place shrouded in purple energy. Although he was not strong enough to go deeper, he could vaguely hear thunder coming from the depths."

"Purple energy, thunder."

Huo Yuhao frowned. Is the Dragon King’s power of lightning attribute?

Never heard of it. Wait!

Recalling the annihilation thunder cast by the God of Destruction in his previous life, which was also composed of a ball of energy flashing with purple arcs, his pupils suddenly shrank.

That was not ordinary lightning, but the power of destruction!

Combined with what Gu Yuena had said, that the aura of the Dragon King in the Jingyang Mountains made her feel disgusted and unfamiliar, as well as some legends circulating in the Sun and Moon Empire, he finally understood the origins of the Dragon King.

Zihuang destroys the sky dragon.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Gu Yuena with a questioning look.

There was no verbal exchange between the two, only a brief eye contact. Gu Yuena shook her head as if she understood his thoughts.

“It can’t be the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon. Although it also controls the power of destruction, as a sub-dragon, its strength is at most equivalent to that of an ordinary true dragon. The one who is powerful enough for me to sense it should be the sub-dragon ancestor who was killed by the Dragon God himself.”

"As for the relationship between the two, you can understand that the so-called Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon is just a stronger branch among the countless descendants of the sub-dragon ancestor."

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized and nodded slightly.

He was just wondering, if Zihuang Mie Tianlong really possessed the strength of a God King, how could he have become a human martial spirit.

It's like someone might be able to awaken the Ice Dragon Martial Spirit by chance, but no one would be born with the Ice Dragon King Martial Spirit.

Generally speaking, innate martial spirits often have an upper limit. A Holy Dragon of Light like Elder Mu's is actually the pinnacle of the pinnacle, and it is almost impossible to go further.
