Chapter 222: Introducing Eunuch Huo
A flash of cold light passed through Du Qianjue's eyes, the surge of power compelling him to howl skyward. He stamped his right leg on the ground, propelling himself into the air where he floated, releasing his potent aura freely.
To test the strength of his physical body, Du Qianjue raised his right hand and clenched it in the void. There was no fluctuation of soul power, no vibration of attribute power—just raw physical strength. The sound of glass shattering echoed from his grip, with fine black cracks appearing around his clenched fist.
Crack—snap—the space itself was torn apart by his bare hands!
"Even though the spatial fabric of the Douluo Continent is weak, to achieve this purely with physical strength, my bodily power must be unmatched across the land," Du Qianjue remarked, somewhat amazed, looking at the spatial rift he had created.
"Congratulations, Master, on your further enhanced strength!" Ivie approached Du Qianjue, smiling.
"Yes, not bad at all!" Du Qianjue nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Ivie and asked, "Are you going back to the undead half-plane, or will you stay with me outside?"
"What kind of question is that? Naturally, Ivie chooses to stay with the Master," Ivie responded without hesitation. Was there even a need to think about it? She wouldn't bother returning to the undead half-plane if she could stay with Du Qianjue. This was a submission of the soul, a genuine closeness that Ivie felt from her heart.
"Don't you need to oversee things with the Banshee Wail?" Du Qianjue was a bit puzzled.
"Oh, don't worry, my cheap daughter is there, it's fine without me," Ivie answered cheerily.
Cheap daughter? That must be Lya... Du Qianjue's mouth twitched. Ivie had turned Lya into a tool, something he hadn't expected. But as long as someone managed things, he didn't care who it was—as long as they were useful when needed.
With Ivie by his side, he could also occasionally consult her about the application of mental power. Du Qianjue hadn't yet decided whether to advance to Titled Douluo by cultivating or by condensing a mental soul core.
Given his conditions, forming a mental soul core as the third soul core to break through to Titled Douluo was almost effortless—what was perilous for Huo Yuhao was a walk in the park for Du Qianjue at this time. He could complete it within half a month to a month.
But Du Qianjue wanted more. Merely forming a mental soul core and breaking through to Titled Douluo wasn't very appealing to him. Was it really important to advance to Titled Douluo? His current power was already comparable to Di Tian without using the Dragon God Claw, and with his ability to manipulate people at will, there was almost no one on the Douluo Continent who could threaten him.
So, was there any urgency to enhance his power? Du Qianjue planned to break through to Titled Douluo by cultivation and then aim for his ninth soul ring by taking down the Tyrant Overlord in the Evil Forest, leveraging the Tyrant Overlord's soul ring and soul bone to condense his mental soul core while breaking the last barriers to transform his mental power into divine consciousness.
He estimated a high chance that this plan could help him achieve divine consciousness. Then, with a divine body from the Seventh Turn of the Ninth Revolution Inner Power, even if Du Qianjue didn't break through level 100 to become a god, his strength would absolutely reach a divine level.
With divine-level strength, he would be better positioned for future schemes. With divine power before becoming a god, and once the power accumulated to a limit inside him, wouldn't it be easier to merge the internal attributes back into chaos and break the boundaries to fully become a god?
As the five-star general once said, if you push hard enough, even a brick can fly!
"Alright, let's go, back to the Bodhi Sect!" Du Qianjue said with a smile, stepping out with Ivie and vanishing on the spot.
Meanwhile, in a nearby cave...
A voluptuous redhead lay naked in the arms of a muscular man, deeply asleep, while the man stared blankly at the cave ceiling, his eyes full of confusion. Notably, the man's lower body was completely charred.
"Why did things turn out like this?" This muscular man was none other than our Huo Yuhao, and the naked woman in his arms was clearly Ma Xiaotao, the Evil Fire Phoenix.
Xuan Zi had taken them from Shrek Academy, but they were intercepted by Niu Tian and Titan. With no other option, Xuan Zi blasted a cave with a punch, threw Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao inside, and set up a seal before going off to fight.
This fight lasted over ten days. Huo Yuhao was okay, although currently only at the Soul Sovereign level, he had hands and feet and food in his storage soul-guiding device, so he could sustain himself.
But Ma Xiaotao was worse off. Already on the brink due to her breakthrough to Soul Sage, her evil fire had reached an uncontrollable level. At Shrek Academy, Mu En and Yan Shaozhe had helped control her spirit to prevent the evil fire from overwhelming her mind, allowing her to barely maintain her sanity.
This time, having been taken from Shrek Academy by Xuan Zi, not only was the suppression gone, but the extreme dark soul power from Xuan Zi also triggered her internal evil fire, causing an explosion.
The consequences of this explosion were naturally borne by Huo Yuhao, who was closest to her. Soon after Xuan Zi left, Ma Xiaotao woke up, consumed by the evil fire and turned into a seductress right out of the tales of the Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao wanted to escape, but the seal Xuan Zi placed was not something he could break with his Soul Sovereign strength, leaving him unable to resist Ma Xiaotao.
Now, Huo Yuhao became Ma Xiaotao's tool for venting. Faced with the red-eyed, peach-blossomed face of Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao's own desires were aroused, considering she was indeed a beauty. Initially resisting yet complying, Huo Yuhao ended up in bed with Ma Xiaotao.
The first day was painful yet pleasurable for Huo Yuhao, as Ma Xiaotao was not only stunningly beautiful but also had a great figure that nearly broke his waist with her long legs.
But from the second day onwards, it was agony for Huo Yuhao. His protective soul power was gradually worn down by Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, and without soul power protection, direct contact with the fiery phoenix for several days turned Huo's lower body into a roast chicken.
Considering its charred state, it was unlikely to function ever again.
Was this Huo Yuhao's luck or misfortune? Although he had spent a passionate night with a beauty like Ma Xiaotao, he only enjoyed it for one day.
From now on, he would have to present himself as Eunuch Huo.
Feeling the numbness in his lower body, the unbearable pain in his waist, and his nearly blind eyes, tears of pain streamed down Huo Yuhao's cheeks.
A man's dignity.
Snap!
