Soul Power has reached Level 45, further enhanced by two major Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, and Spiritual Power is also bolstered by the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm.
Huo Yuhao's fusion with the Battle Armor brings his basic combat strength to Soul Emperor Level, let alone with his conditions, he is entirely capable of defeating a Soul Saint across levels.
He might even be able to withstand a couple of moves from a Soul Fighter.
The Bone Wings, which are external soul bone, offer significant enhancement. Their flight speed is extremely fast, refined by Huo Yuhao with the Bone Pattern Technique, simultaneously engraved with a Soul-guiding Array, making them the wings of the Battle Armor, and further elevating Huo Yuhao's speed by two Great Realms.
After deliberating for a while, Su Yu decided to bring along Huo Yuhao.
In battle, Huo Yuhao might not be much help.
But his escape speed is absolutely guaranteed.
As for bringing Huo Yuhao along, due to fortune, if anything happens to Huo Yuhao he will be fine, Su Yu is not worried at all.
Huo Yuhao has various methods, and so does Su Yu.
The Evil Soul Master most fears Ellex's Undead Magic, and even though Elder Yi might not be inclined to act easily, if Su Yu's life is threatened, he will definitely intervene.
Judging from Elder Yi's recent simple contest with the Life God, it's clear his state has recovered well.
Even if Ye Xishui personally oversees, Su Yu can evade danger by entering the Undead Half-Plane.
However, with the Undead Half-Plane, the exit needs to be opened where the entrance was established, suitable for preservation but not totally reliable for escape.
Thus, until a critical moment, Su Yu doesn't plan to include this method in his arsenal.
After all, the less exposed, the smaller the risk of revealing flaws.
...
Soul Burial Valley is located just three kilometers west from where the two entered the Life God Inheritance Space.
The fact that the two of them could safely reach where the Inheritance Space is situated without being discovered was absolutely the handiwork of the Life God.
"There are no signs of Evil Soul Masters investigating the vicinity, apparently there's no particularly high-level presence."
Even with concealment by the Life God, the spatial fluctuations of the two transmitting here and away, plus the appearance and disappearance of the Inheritance Space, interfacing with the Douluo Plane process, couldn't be entirely eliminated.
With such proximity, it's unlikely that ordinary Titled Douluo would notice, but Extreme Douluo and stronger Super Douluo definitely would.
Since around here there's no sign of Evil Soul Masters scouting, it also indicates there aren't overly high-level Evil Soul Masters in Soul Burial Valley.
Of course, it's possible there are no Evil Soul Masters in the Soul Burial Valley at all.
After all, from the information Su Yu obtained from Kong Deming, they didn't explicitly state what exactly this Soul Burial Valley is for.
Just cautioned him not to touch it.
...
"Brother Yu, doesn't seem like there's anyone inside..."
Huo Yuhao fully opened up his Spiritual Detection, but didn't sense any life at all.
Inside Soul Burial Valley, it's gloomy, even without really entering, both felt a chill.
"Within the valley, the resentment is heavy, all wrongful spirits and fierce ghosts."
Elder Yi's tone was somewhat solemn.
Su Yu brought Huo Yuhao inside the valley.
Despite not detecting any danger, Su Yu still had Huo Yuhao constantly activate two major Soul Skills, simulation paired with a Spiritual Illusion Realm, constantly camouflaging the two.
These two Soul Skills alone could enable Huo Yuhao to disguise himself, combined, the effect is stronger.
Moreover, the Spiritual Illusion Realm primarily offers the capability to deploy over an area, whereas simulation seems to only apply to Huo Yuhao and those he's in bodily contact with.
Having penetrated over a hundred meters deeper, Huo Yuhao finally detected some traces.
"Brother Yu, it really seems there are Evil Soul Masters, the stench of blood mixed in this Soul Power is so strong."
Huo Yuhao's face was sombre, the Soul Power fluctuation he sensed was very strong.
"Did they directly reveal their Soul Power?" Su Yu inquired.
"Yes, actively revealed it."
Continuing deeper, Huo Yuhao also shrank the detection scope to make his perception clearer.
"There are three people in total, they look very alike, triplets?"
Receiving the mental imagery from Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection, Su Yu roughly recognized who these three were.
The Zhongli Brothers, all three are Evil Soul Masters, Soul Fighter level existences.
At this moment, each of the brothers held a cane-like soul-guiding device.
The top of the cane was embedded with a large crystal, within which a complex Soul-guiding Array was engraved.
These three canes were all Level 8 soul-guiding devices.
Whereas within the canes, countless souls were released.
"Cackle, cackle, hard work of three years, finally can savour it again."
"Indeed, this Sacrificial Technique is truly gratifying."
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection can't peer into everything, firstly unable to delve into the canes of the three brothers, and secondly unable to clearly sense what seems like an altar before them.
These all serve to shield against perception by Spiritual Power.
"Brother Yu, these seem to be the souls of Soul Beasts. My god, how many Soul Beasts have they hunted? Plus, these Soul Beasts emitting overwhelming murderous vibes, probably not just simple hunting."
Huo Yuhao's tone was filled with shock and anger.
Though he isn't a Soul Beast, he understands the impact of indiscriminate hunting of Soul Beasts on the Soul Master system.
The historical beast tide on the Douluo Continent might not just be as simple as the trigger back then.
These guys wantonly slaughtering Soul Beasts are the true provisions behind the beast tide.
Three years, in just three years, they hunted so many Soul Beasts.
Among them were not a few Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast souls.
Within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, his three Soul Spirits were indignant.
Celestial Dream was furiously cursing, and Ice Emperor also showed a cold gaze.
