Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Competing in Eye Techniques with Huo Yuhao?! The Spirit Eyes Martial Soul Evolves Again (Side Story)

"I am speaking with your mother—who are you to interrupt?"

At that moment, the wind in the heavens, the churning of the blood sea, and even the faint sounds of circulating Spirit Power seemed to be abruptly cut off by that single sentence.

Everyone present froze their gazes upon Huo Yuhao, and upon the golden divine eye looming behind him, looking down indifferently.

Those words were too arrogant.

Zhongli Wu, as the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, held a status comparable to Mu En. He commanded evil Spirit Masters across the land, his fearsome reputation shaking the entire continent.

Huo Yuhao had just fought the Darkness Holy Dragon.

Surely his Spirit Power must have been heavily consumed.

Did he really intend to fight the Holy Spirit Cult regardless of his condition?!

"Yuhao..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao facing the two strongest evil Spirit Masters of the present age while still staring coldly with unmatched dominance,

Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Wang Dong could not help but feel their hearts tremble.

Mu En sighed with emotion.

Huo Yuhao’s state of mind was even firmer than that of his own teacher.

Just now, after hearing Ye Xishui’s sophistry about evil Spirit Masters, perhaps because of his old relationship with her—

even Mu En himself felt his heart waver slightly.

Yet Huo Yuhao remained completely clear-minded.

"Back then, in the glimpse of the future Yuhao showed me, he also appeared briefly."

"His style of action wasn’t nearly as decisive as it is now."

Mu En looked at the white-robed youth before him. "Yuhao... has a good teacher."

..

Skydream Iceworm, only the size of a thumb, sat on Li Zhexian’s shoulder.

"Wow, wow! As expected of someone taught by Brother Zhexian!"

"The way Yuhao said that just now made even me feel dazed!"

The smile on Li Zhexian’s lips grew deeper.

He was quite satisfied with Huo Yuhao’s performance.

If someone possessed heaven-defying cultivation yet could not distinguish right from wrong, their Dao heart wavering—

then in the end everything would be nothing more than an illusion, and sooner or later their Dao heart would collapse, leaving them unable to achieve greatness.

He turned his head and glanced at Skydream.

"Do I also talk with such youthful arrogance?"

Skydream Iceworm curled its lip. "You were even worse!"

...

Zhongli Wu laughed in extreme anger.

He stared at the sky-covering golden vertical eye behind Huo Yuhao.

"I’ve heard you possess twin Martial Souls. But you’ve already fought a battle with the Grand Worshipper—do you still have the strength left?!"

Zhongli Wu stepped forward.

BOOM!

Crash!

The world shook violently, and the sea of blood below turned into a furious tide. Blood waves crashed a thousand meters high, and the rising stench of blood cast a crimson veil over everyone’s vision.

Threads of scarlet energy extended from the endless blood sea, continuously gathering toward Zhongli Wu.

His aura grew increasingly violent.

Behind him, a thousand-meter-tall humanoid demonic puppet appeared, its body covered with jagged bone armor and holding a ghastly white scythe.

BOOM!

Its pitch-black eyes, deep as an abyss, suddenly shot out two crimson beams.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!

Six black and three red Spirit Rings.

Although not as extraordinary as Huo Yuhao’s miraculous Spirit Rings, it still far surpassed the optimal configuration of ordinary Spirit Masters.

Boundless malice surged together with the blood sea.

Even from ten thousand meters away, the observing experts felt their scalps go numb, and even circulating their Spirit Power became difficult.

"The Death God Demon Puppet Martial Soul! One of the continent’s top-tier dark Martial Souls!"

"Zhongli Wu’s combat strength is already terrifying, and with the endless blood sea as his home-field advantage, he’s practically stepping halfway into the Limit Douluo realm!"

"Why isn’t Huo Yuhao using that Behemoth Martial Soul of his?! Has he really run out of strength?! Is this Spirit Eyes Martial Soul enough?!"

"Elder Mu..." Elder Xuan looked worried.

Judging from the aura Zhongli Wu displayed now, even he, a Super Douluo, felt wary.

"Yuhao just fought Long Xiaoyao..."

Seeing the faint smile on Li Zhexian’s face, Mu En shook his head calmly.

"Just watch. Yuhao will be fine."

...

"You say your second Martial Soul is an eye." Zhongli Wu’s low voice pierced through the waves of the blood sea, cold and clear. "Then I will compete with you in eye techniques."

Ye Xishui stood quietly at the side.

The red glow of the blood sea reflected upon her cold yet beautiful face.

In her heart she was calculating one thing:

After that fierce battle with Long Xiaoyao, how much strength did Huo Yuhao still have left?

Meanwhile, out of the corner of her eye, Ye Xishui glanced toward the white-robed youth.

This person was truly mysterious, like a hidden thorn lodged in her heart. "If we can force him to act, we’ll be able to uncover his background."

The corners of Zhongli Wu’s mouth curled into a sinister smile. The blood-colored Spirit Power surging around him became even thicker, and the fourth Spirit Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up with a deep black glow.

"Fourth Spirit Ability — Death God’s Gaze!"

Behind him, the Death God Demon Puppet slowly lifted its head.

Its bone armor scraped against itself, producing a sharp metallic screech.

Immediately afterward, its crimson eyes transformed into two bottomless black whirlpools.

Boom! Boom!

The void trembled violently.

A terrifying suction capable of devouring even the soul surged from those black vortices.

The gaze itself became a prison!

Meeting its eyes meant falling into the abyss!

The many experts watching from afar had their minds shaken by the change in the demon puppet’s eyes. The moment their gazes were involuntarily captured—

BOOM!

Their consciousness shook violently.

Everyone whose eyes met it instantly froze in place.

What followed was the searing pain of their souls being torn apart.

Memories buried deep within their hearts surged out like a breached dam.

Defeats they wished to forget, regrets forged by their own hands, the helplessness they felt when loved ones died...

All the past they never wished to touch was forcibly dragged before them and replayed with perfect clarity.

"Ugh—AAAH!"

Agonized screams erupted one after another.

Many powerful experts staggered and collapsed to their knees, their faces twisted in pain.

"Those demon eyes... you can’t look... run quickly..."

Those merely watching from afar already felt their souls about to shatter.

But at this moment—

Huo Yuhao was facing those abyssal eyes directly.

The dark vortices turned sight itself into a tangible shackle.

Wherever that gaze reached, space trembled as a horrifying pulling force dragged directly toward the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Huo Yuhao had seen the Death Gaze Spirit Ability before—

in a glimpse of the future.

At that time, his future self had suffered quite a loss under this technique.

But now things were different.

"Compete with me in eye techniques?"

Huo Yuhao’s lips curved upward.

A vertical crack slowly opened on his forehead as a third eye appeared.

This was not flesh opening.

It was a mark carved by the laws of reality upon his brow.

Within the ancient golden pupil lay the quiet reflection of a world’s destruction and rebirth, calmly mirroring the devouring black vortex before it.

Hum—hum—

Inside the great eye floating behind Huo Yuhao, the flowing brilliance condensed and revealed the form of an ancient tree.

Its roots were planted in chaos, its crown supporting the heavens.

At this moment, upon each leaf that looked as though it had been cast from gold, a noble purple color slowly spread.

Brother Zhexian had nourished the Snow Demon King with the body of the ancient tree, allowing it to evolve into the Frostfall Behemoth.

He had also infused the soul of the ancient tree into the Life Divine Eye, elevating its very essence.

As a result, Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had also entered an unprecedented realm.

"Perhaps..."

"It should now be called..."

A thought moved within Huo Yuhao’s mind.

Feeling the golden ancient tree flowing with purple-gold divine radiance within his divine eye, a name naturally appeared within his consciousness.

"Heaven-Opening Divine Eyes."
