Chapter 5 Five Elements Escape
Technique, Blood Succession Limit,
Before Huo Yuhao could recover from the afterglow of his sudden surge in strength, the cold system notification sounded in his mind again.
[bite]
[One-tailed: Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, captured successfully]
[Awakening of the Gedo Mazo: Yin Release Chakra]
With a thought, Huo Yuhao's consciousness once again plunged into the sea of his mind.
The demonic statue of the heretic, which was originally as lifeless as a dead object, has changed.
Of its nine tightly closed eyes, the bottommost one has now slowly opened.
One tail... Tianmeng Ice Silkworm?
Huo Yuhao understood what was happening as he watched this scene.
It seems that the Gedo Mazo's judgment mechanism identifies the world's top-tier soul beasts as tailed beasts.
After devouring the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm for millions of years, it lit up one of its eyes.
Yin Dun...represents spiritual power?
It does have the same attributes as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
He quickly glanced at the system screen.
Fire, wind, thunder, earth, water, yin, yang.
Am I born with all seven attributes?
By continuously devouring tailed beasts, their attributes are strengthened...
In the future, will I be able to fuse more bloodline limits?
They developed Boiling Release, Dust Release, and even... Truth-Seeking Balls?
Just as he was engrossed in planning for the future, a sudden disturbance in the outside world abruptly brought him back to his senses.
The sky seemed to have cracked open.
A gray stream of air descended from the sky without any warning.
It was as fast as a gray lightning bolt, and in an instant, it precisely pierced into the back of Huo Yuhao's head.
A desolate, ancient chill, imbued with a strong aura of death, instantly swept over my entire body.
They've arrived.
Necromancer, Undead Scourge, Elex.
Huo Yuhao was not alarmed.
As someone familiar with the plot, he had been waiting for this moment.
The gray current of energy forcefully entered the sea of consciousness, transforming into a gray sphere of light that hovered in mid-air.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, the demonic statue of the heretic sitting cross-legged in the abyss trembled violently.
For the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Electrox's wisp of pure divine consciousness was simply the most delicious tonic.
Several purple chakra chains stirred restlessly, as if trying to devour the gray orb of light like they had devoured the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Stop."
Huo Yuhao's will descended instantly, taking control of the golem in a flash.
Under his control, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path fell silent once more.
"Huh?"
The gray aura seemed to have sensed something as well.
An old and weak voice, tinged with surprise, echoed in the sea of consciousness.
"What an interesting little guy..."
"Despite his frail body, his spiritual sea harbors a monster that even I cannot fathom."
Although Electrox was reduced to a remnant soul, his intuition as a former demigod remained.
He could clearly feel the threat posed by the withered wooden statue below.
That was a form of suppression based on social status.
But what surprised him even more was that this terrifying statue was completely controlled by the human boy.
Moreover, in that brief moment, the boy took the initiative to stop the statue from devouring him.
"Kindness..."
The old man sighed.
"It seems my luck isn't too bad after all. Since you don't want to kill me, I'll stay here for a while."
"Once I wake up, I will grant you a great opportunity."
After saying this, the gray aura gradually subsided, transforming into a gray bead that quietly floated in a corner of the Sea of Spirit, facing the heretical demon statue from afar, keeping to itself.
...
Starry Sky Forest, by the stream.
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
The two biggest cheat programs have been initially secured.
He stood up and stretched his stiff neck.
Next, it's time to put it into practice.
As the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path devoured the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and opened its first eye, Huo Yuhao's understanding of this second martial soul deepened.
Unlike ordinary martial souls, the demonic statue cannot directly unleash its "first soul skill" or "second soul skill".
It's more like a key that gives him the ability to use ninjutsu.
After mastering it, Huo Yuhao was even able to use it to mobilize the power of the Tailed Beasts.
"Right now, all I know is the Great Fireball Technique and that Obito-style, beggar-version Wood Release."
"If I want to learn more ninjutsu, I can only rely on myself to figure it out."
As he pondered how to replicate ninjutsu in the Douluo Continent, he ventured deeper into the forest.
rustling...
A series of rapid friction sounds interrupted his thoughts.
A sweet, fishy smell wafted towards me.
Huo Yuhao suddenly turned his head.
A pink bolt of lightning shot out from the bushes on the left.
It was a giant snake over three meters long, its entire body a strange, peach-pink color.
Mandragora snake.
Moreover, judging from its size and luster, it has cultivated for at least a thousand years.
Is this the one that Bebe hunted in the original story?
The datura snake opened its huge mouth and lunged straight at Huo Yuhao's face.
That's too fast.
If it were an ordinary first-ring Soul Master, he would probably be a corpse by now.
But Huo Yuhao simply calmly took a half step back.
"Martial spirit possession".
Buzz.
A ring of shimmering white spirit light up beneath his feet.
His left eye was a deep, clear blue, as if it contained the stars and the sea.
His right eye instantly turned crimson, and the three jet-black tomoe spun wildly.
Left eye: Spirit Eye; Right eye: Sharingan.
The world became completely different in his eyes.
Dynamic vision slows down this originally lightning-fast movement into a frame-by-frame slow motion.
Huo Yuhao didn't even flinch; a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
First Soul Skill: Mental Detection.
At the same time, he raised his right hand.
The chakra and soul power within his body intertwined wildly, pouring into his right arm.
"Wood Release: Exploding Tree Spear!"
puff!
A seemingly ordinary, sharp wooden stake, about the thickness of an adult's arm, shot out instantly with a whistling sound as it tore through the air.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless.
With precise calculations from the mental probe, the wooden stake accurately predicted the landing point of the mandala snake.
Pfft!
The wooden stake pierced the mandrake's vital spot, pinning it in mid-air. Its momentum continued, and it slammed heavily into the large tree behind it.
"hiss--!!"
The datura snake writhed wildly, emitting a shrill hiss.
"It's not over yet."
Huo Yuhao loosely clenched his right hand.
The wooden stake pierced into the snake's body instantly came to life, frantically absorbing the soul power and life essence within the datura snake.
Numerous tiny roots quickly sprouted from the surface of the wooden stake, spreading and branching within the snake's body.
In just two breaths.
The datura snake's strong body withered at a visible speed, its struggles became weak, and the fierce light in its eyes faded.
This is what makes Wood Release so terrifying.
It's not just a simple physical attack; it also has the power to devour.
That's about it.
Huo Yuhao looked at the dying Datura snake and prepared to deliver the final blow.
He released his right hand, and the wooden stake broke, remaining inside the snake's body.
Hands form a mudra.
Just as he was about to use the Great Fireball Technique to deliver the final blow.
"Young man! Wait a minute!!"
An anxious shout came from the woods behind them.
Immediately afterwards, two figures emerged somewhat disheveled.
The leader was a gentle and refined young man, followed by a pretty young woman.
It was Beibei and Tang Ya.
Beibei stared at the thousand-year-old Datura serpent nailed to the stake, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.
He quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his tone sincere and urgent:
"Young man, please have mercy! We've been tracking this datura snake all this way; it's extremely important to us!"
