"Since you are so stubborn..." Huo Yuhao sank his consciousness into his spiritual sea. The Ten Thousand Demon King was long prepared for this. He clapped his hands together in front of him. He had accumulated a great deal of life origin energy from the Jade Scaled Nine Ultimates Flowers he had devoured.
"This is the life origin energy of hundreds of ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Let that Blue Silver Emperor have a taste of the true style of a plant-type emperor!" The Ten Thousand Demon King chuckled.
A profound pattern was sketched on Huo Yuhao's face. He similarly clapped his hands together in front of him. A surging life aura burst out of his body, even distorting the space around him.
"Sage Art—Great Buddha of a Thousand Hands!"
"Is it coming?" Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly. He had long heard that Huo Yuhao could control a behemoth beyond the world's comprehension to fight. At first, he had thought it was a trick of the eye, but now he truly felt the oppressive feeling brought by its immense size.
The earth cracked, and a great Buddha woven entirely of trees once again descended upon the world. The land for ten thousand li around trembled, unable to withstand this power.
Even from 500 kilometers away, the people in the surrounding towns and cities saw this scene and instantly realized the severity of the situation.
This, this should be the thing that only the Demon King Huo Yuhao can summon, right?
"No matter how many times I see this thing appear, I always feel a deep sense of disbelief..."
Among them were spies who had watched the battle at Shrek City three years ago. Seeing this thing appear again, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
This was simply not something a normal soul master could handle.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King under Tang San was but a drop in the ocean before this behemoth.
"Merely a facade!" Tang San snorted coldly. Such a cumbersome thing certainly couldn't have much flexibility. He had no need to confront this thing at all. He only needed to kill Huo Yuhao on top of the Great Buddha's head, and that would be victory.
"Here I come, Tang San!"
"Come on, Huo Yuhao!"
Tang San controlled the demon whale as it flew rapidly through the air. He condensed a pair of Blue Silver Overlord Spears in his hands and threw them towards Huo Yuhao's position.
The twin spears continuously enlarged in mid-air, each one expanding to a hundred zhang in length, and then fissioned into several hundred javelins. He had been immersed in the diverse variations of the Blue Silver Emperor for ten thousand years. His methods of use were by no means comparable to the Sea God from ten thousand years ago, who only knew his mother's entanglement technique.
However, as the Great Buddha began to move, Tang San's face suddenly changed.
Facing the incoming javelins, Huo Yuhao did not dodge. Instead, he controlled the thousand arms behind the Great Buddha to swing out in unison. Countless fists the size of mountains, carrying a vicious and oppressive wind, all poured down. As soon as the long spears made contact, they shattered inch by inch.
"Second Soul Skill, Parasite!" Tang San was a spirit who had been through a hundred battles. The second soul ring under his feet lit up. The shattered Blue Silver Overlord Spears on the fists' surfaces turned into countless tiny spores, which then regrew on those giant fists.
What he wanted to do was simple: to infiltrate the core of this behemoth and reverse-control the Great Buddha that Huo Yuhao was so proud of.
However, the Blue Silver Grass that had just grown on the Great Buddha's fists instantly withered and rotted, its life force clearly having been sucked dry.
"Impossible. How can his plant-type martial soul possibly absorb my Blue Silver Emperor?" Tang San watched this scene in disbelief and couldn't help but murmur.
A thousand fists were already approaching. Tang San could only look at the majestic Great Buddha with unwillingness and quickly retreat.
The second he abandoned the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the mountain-sized fists had all descended upon it.
That layer of Blue Silver Armor shattered in a single encounter. The Deep Sea Demon Whale only had time to let out a long cry to the sky before it was smashed into the ground by countless fists.
Rumble...
A violent roar came from the earth. Tang San's spirit body, which was flashing backward, was not afraid of physical attacks. The aftershocks from the collision rippled across the surface of his spirit body, merely creating circles of ripples.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen, who should have been one of the final opponents of the Dragon King Legend era, was actually hammered flat by the attack of the Great Buddha of a Thousand Hands.
Yes, that's the literal meaning. Hammered flat.
This Demon Empress of the Holy Spirit Cult could never have imagined that she, as the true overlord of the deep sea, would one day meet the end of being hammered flat.
"Demon Empress, your power is truly too great. For this, I have no choice but to erase you here."
Looking at the pile of rotten flesh on the ground, Huo Yuhao pointed at it with a blank expression. In an instant, countless vines grew frantically from the Great Buddha's navel, pierced into the remains of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and greedily devoured its final life origin energy.
"As expected of a soul beast with a million years of cultivation. This power is truly amazing." The Ten Thousand Demon King in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea moaned in intoxication. After these years of absorbing and digesting the Jade Scaled Nine Ultimates Flower, he had successfully transformed into a soul spirit with over nine hundred thousand years of cultivation.
If it were still alive now, it could even compete with the Beast God, Di Tian.
Not long after, a dark gold soul ring floated up from the corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
A million-year soul ring! Tang San's eyes were bloodshot. All of his soul rings had been absorbed and then advanced one by one through the secret methods of the Holy Spirit Cult, which meant that he could no longer absorb this truly million-year soul ring.
"Thank you, senior, for your gift. I, Huo, will gladly accept it." Huo Yuhao chuckled and quickly flew down towards the soul ring. The storm-like attack from controlling the Great Buddha just now had consumed a great deal of his power. The life origin energy that the Ten Thousand Demon King had accumulated over many years had been completely squandered by him in that one go.
"Don't even think about it!" How could Tang San tolerate Huo Yuhao taking this opportunity to absorb a soul ring? As the saying goes, if he can't have it, no one else can. On this point, he was not much different from that Sea God.
"Elder Yi, this guy is a soul body. Do you have a way to deal with him?" Huo Yuhao immediately called out to Electrolux in his spiritual sea. Although this Tang San's comprehensive strength had reached the true god level, he was ultimately just a soul body. Electrolux, who was skilled in necromancy, might have a way to deal with him.
"It's difficult. This guy's spiritual power is not much inferior to yours or mine. At the very least, it's at the Dual God Origin Realm level. Although he is a soul body, there seems to be something else unknown inside his body. Otherwise, this old man would have acted from the beginning." Electrolux shook his head and said thoughtfully.
The soul ring produced by this million-year Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a rare resource. If he were to miss it, he would surely regret it for a long time. And similarly, Huo Yuhao did not want to be interrupted by Tang San while he was absorbing it. That would make the situation even worse.
"This old man will give it a try for now. I hope the fire of purification can cause effective damage to it." Electrolux knew Huo Yuhao's thoughts. He was also unwilling to give up the soul ring of this Deep Sea Demon Whale King. But now, apart from him, there was no one who could stop the Tang San before them.
"I'll have to trouble you, Teacher." The distance between Huo Yuhao and the corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was much shorter than Tang San's. He was the first to arrive at the place where the soul ring had risen and sat down to meditate. At the same time, the Eye of Destiny appeared on his forehead, and Electrolux's illusory body appeared before the world for the first time.
He looked like just an old man with an aged face. He wore a magnificent black robe that was vividly lifelike. On that black robe, golden runes shone. Outside the robe was a large white cloak, the hood of which was worn on his head. His right hand held a staff that was two meters longer than his height. The staff was a mixture of black, white, and gold.
"Who are you?" Tang San's pupils shrank slightly. His powerful soul perception told him that this old man who had emerged from Huo Yuhao's body was not simple.
"I hold the sun and moon and pluck the stars; there is no one like me in this world. This old man's nickname is the Necromancer, Holy Spirit God, and I am Yuhao's teacher." Electrolux said with a proud smile. "The resentment on your body is very heavy. You are a vengeful spirit who is obsessed with revenge after being possessed. If this old man were at his peak, I could suppress you with a wave of my hand."
"Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue for boasting so much!" Tang San sneered. He could see that the old man before him was a soul body like himself, and even an incomplete remnant of divine sense. Compared to him, who had been completely stripped from his physical body, his divine sense was only of a slightly higher quality.
He couldn't delay any longer. Once Huo Yuhao finished absorbing that million-year soul ring, his already slightly disadvantageous situation would only become more passive.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao was also caught in a dilemma. A new problem was before him: which martial soul should he use to absorb this soul ring?
The first to be excluded was his Evil Eye martial soul. This big fish, who only revealed its true face during the Dragon King Legend era, was a mad idiot due to the loss of his beloved, and became the Demon Empress of the Holy Spirit Cult, used back and forth by the Ghost Emperor and the Abyssal Sage Monarch. If this guy were to become the seventh soul ring of his Evil Eye martial soul, his own IQ would probably be lowered by a dimension.
Then the remaining choices were the Immortal Spirit Wood and the Death God, two martial souls. To have it become the soul ring of one of them—
