Another year and a half later, in the southern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Demon Sealing Forest.
This was a small forest of Soul Beasts.
Its area was so small that one wouldn’t even notice it on a map without looking closely.
It could be described as obscure, with almost no Soul Masters ever visiting.
Furthermore, this Demon Sealing Forest was extremely strange.
It was shrouded in darkness all year round, where sunlight could not penetrate.
The forest only contained Soul Beasts of the darkness attribute or those associated with it.
As for why it became like this, the reason was simple: a passage leading to another plane was sealed here.
Perhaps due to the pollution of dark power, the concentration of the darkness attribute in this forest was so high that even Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, would probably like it very much.
A handsome young man was walking through the woods without any concern, with a plump white baby silkworm resting on his shoulder.
“It really is pitch black here…”
The youth was not particularly tall and had a somewhat slender build.
He had short, bluish hair that leaned toward white, which shimmered with a soft silver-blue luster under the light.
His hair lay smoothly against his forehead, looking elegant and refined, appearing even more ethereal as it fluttered gently in the breeze.
A few strands of fragmented bangs fell naturally, perfectly covering the center of his brow and adding a touch of mystery to him.
A few strands of blue hair falling from his sideburns draped smoothly over his cheeks, outlining an impeccable and handsome profile with lines that were soft yet did not lack the unique heroic Martial Soul of a youth.
The most amazing part was his eyes, which were as clear and ethereal as the sky; just looking into them gave one the feeling of having their soul cleansed.
His high nose was as straight as a hanging gall, and his thin lips had a faint crimson hue, looking as exquisite as if they had been carefully painted.
His fair skin looked even more as if it had been gently baptized by sunlight, possessing a healthy glow without losing its delicate softness.
Although he wore only a simple black and white coat and blue-silver combat boots, they appeared exceptionally gorgeous and eye-catching on him, making for a stunning sight.
Little Yuhao was now eleven years old.
The concern Baili Du had back then had indeed come to pass; he had been raised so well that he had the potential to become a bit of a ‘pretty boy’…
The fat silkworm on his shoulder spoke up: “Yuhao, if you ask me, that old man Electrolux is piting you…
Is it really necessary to come to a place like this just for a Martial Soul Awakening?”
Huo Yuhao shook his head: “Teacher and Uncle Baili wouldn’t lie to me, and besides…” Speaking to this point, he closed his eyes, and an invisible ripple spread outward from his body as the center. This chapter is updated first at NovelPing.
Suddenly, the layer of black mist shrouding the entire Demon Sealing Forest began to shake violently, even starting to flow toward Huo Yuhao’s body, enveloping him.
“I can feel it.
The dark aura here is very suitable for me.”
Just as those people from the Holy Spirit Cult had once called Huo Yuhao ‘Saint’, Huo Yuhao’s talent in the aspect of darkness was likely not low…
At this moment, a cluster of grey vortex slowly condensed into a human shape, transforming into the image of a grey-robed old man.
It was precisely Electrolux.
He unceremoniously tapped the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm’s big head with the staff in his hand: “I say, big bug, this old man is at least Little Yuhao’s master.
How could I possibly harm him?”
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm clutched its head and let out a miserable cry, but it didn’t back down and bickered back at Electrolux: “This place is pitch black and obviously unsafe!
It would be better to go to the Far North with me.
I’d guarantee Little Yuhao a powerful Ultimate Martial Soul!”
Electrolux ignored it and instead turned to Huo Yuhao, saying: “Yuhao, first tell this old man, what are your thoughts on the power of darkness?”
Huo Yuhao tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then replied seriously: “Thoughts?
Hmm…
I feel like the power of darkness isn’t as unbearable as ordinary people say.
Instead, it gives me a sense of inclusiveness.”
Hearing Huo Yuhao give an answer that exceeded expectations, Electrolux became interested.
“Oh?
Inclusiveness?
Tell me more.”
“Perhaps what darkness brings to people isn’t necessarily all negative emotions…
Although my analogy might not be very proper, just as people sleep at night and work during the day, I think more often than not, darkness is like the night, enveloping people’s weary hearts.”
He closed his eyes and slowly opened his arms: “I feel very relaxed in the darkness…”
Electrolux was slightly dazed, a kind smile appearing on his face as he affectionately stroked Huo Yuhao’s soft blue hair.
“Since that’s the case, let’s go deeper and take a look.”
Huo Yuhao nodded obediently and then continued walking toward the depths of the forest.
During this time, many Soul Beasts ran out, but they posed no threat.
However, this place was quite barren; the highest level was actually only a Black Demon Horse of about twenty thousand years.
Huo Yuhao used Simulation to hide his figure and pass them by without harming them.
Until they reached the very center of the Demon Sealing Forest.
It was so dark here that one couldn’t see their own fingers, and there was even a faint purple glow swirling.
The dark aura was incredibly dense, but fortunately, the vision of Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eye Martial Soul was strong enough to see clearly even in such complete darkness.
The center of the Demon Sealing Forest had no trees or more powerful Soul Beasts, but rather a large clearing.
On the ground was a purple-black hexagram array emitting an ominous glow, and a huge purple-black light gate floated in mid-air.
Huo Yuhao murmured to himself: “Is this the place?”
Yes, what was sealed here was the passage to the Demon Plane that would appear ten thousand years later.
At least during this time period, Tang Hao, who had replaced the Plane Master, still knew to do something decent.
The current Soul Master combat power and soul tool technology of the Douluo Continent could not resist an invasion from an external plane, so these chess pieces originally arranged by Tang San were temporarily sealed to prevent them from invading the Douluo Continent.
Although the overall strength and energy attributes of the Demon Plane were not as terrifying as those of the Abyssal Plane, they similarly had their own advantages: their own darkness attribute was pure enough.
By the standards of the Douluo Continent, that was the Ultimate Darkness.
Baili Du’s original plan was to use the power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to create a blank Martial Soul and place Electrolux’s Divine Sense and power entirely within it, giving Huo Yuhao a genuine additional Martial Soul.
This was also to prevent Tang San from using any more underhanded methods against Electrolux.
A Martial Soul could not be so easily stripped or burned away.
However, Electrolux’s Divine Sense was simply too fragile, and the power given to a Martial Soul was not enough.
So, after the two of them discussed it, they decided to borrow power.
As for whose power to borrow, after looking around, they decided to set their sights on this Demon Plane.
As the Holy Necromancer, Electrolux had the ability to convert Ultimate Light into Ultimate Darkness, so his tolerance for darkness was naturally higher.
Furthermore, Baili Du remembered that a descendant of the Titan Giant Ape lineage named Yuanen Yehui possessed two top-tier Martial Souls: the [Titan Giant Ape] and the [Fallen Angel] from the Demon Plane.
She was the person whose talent was second only to Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin among the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation ten thousand years later, and for a considerable period, her combat power suppressed Tang Wulin’s.
This also demonstrated the strength of the Fallen Angel power from the Demon Plane; it was definitely more than enough to be used as a Martial Soul.
