Chapter 209 Subduing the Angels
A strange sun hangs in the undead demiplane.
The sun was entirely black, emitting a faint purple glow.
The purple light was not intense, causing the entire undead demiplane to be in a state of fluctuating light and shadow.
There are thirteen types of undead creatures in the Undead Demiplane. Even those with the attribute of light can still evolve by devouring the flesh and blood of Soul Masters and reach the top of the food chain.
At this moment, the remaining undead creatures in the undead demiplane were looking at the unconscious Ye Guyi with greedy eyes.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't stood by Ye Guyi's side, Ye Guyi would probably have ended up like Li Chong, who had fainted earlier, being torn apart by the undead creatures here.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Guyi, who had been knocked unconscious by his soul impact, and slowly released his spiritual power.
Ye Guyi slowly awoke.
When she saw where she was, Ye Guyi's pupils suddenly dilated rapidly with fear.
She suddenly sat up, and the holy and sacred angelic martial spirit instantly possessed her.
A dazzling golden light burst forth from her body, forcing the restless undead creatures around her back several steps.
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately launched her strongest attack at Huo Yuhao, who was standing beside her.
Five spirit rings beneath him lit up at the same time, and an angelic phantom appeared behind Ye Guyi, bringing unprecedented light to the undead demiplane.
However, when Ye Guyi used the attack, she was horrified to find that there was not a single element of light here.
The power of light within the Angelic Martial Soul is rapidly being depleted, and even the power of its Soul Skills has been significantly reduced.
Faced with Ye Guyi's all-out attack, Huo Yuhao only activated his Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul, and his massive aura pressed down on Ye Guyi like a tsunami.
He completely dropped his disguise, with four soul rings—one red, one black, and one dark black—swirling around him, making him appear as if a god had descended from heaven.
Huo Yuhao moved with ghostly speed, raising his hand to unleash a massive palm print that shattered Ye Guyi's attack.
After seeing Huo Yuhao's spirit possession state, Ye Guyi instantly recognized Huo Yuhao's identity.
Even though she had never met Huo Yuhao, who in the entire Douluo Continent would dare say they didn't know about Huo Yuhao's martial soul?
"Huo Yuhao!"
Ye Guyi was completely overwhelmed by Huo Yuhao's imposing aura: "You're actually an evil soul master!"
"Is the Heavenly Soul Empire the stronghold of the Holy Spirit Cult?!"
Faced with Ye Guyi's questioning, Huo Yuhao withdrew his imposing aura: "I am not an evil soul master."
"You're not?!"
Ye Guyi conjured a longsword of radiant light in her hand: "These evil creatures are clearly led by you, how could you not be an evil soul master!"
"And how do you explain this eerie space?!"
"How could you, how could Yu Mengdi of your Heavenly Soul Empire, allow your existence!"
Huo Yuhao replied, "If I were truly an evil soul master, why wouldn't these undead creatures fear your divine attributes?"
His words startled Ye Guyi.
This was a question that had been puzzling Ye Guyi for a long time.
Huo Yuhao didn't speak again, but his pupils lit up, and the power of the magic runes began to be slowly released.
In an instant, these undead creatures seemed to have been transformed; their originally ghostly blue eye sockets were now filled with sparkling gold.
Their appearance was enveloped in the radiance of light, making them look as if they were messengers from heaven.
This is a very strange description, but it is a true reflection of Ye Guyi's inner thoughts.
The radiant longsword in Ye Guyi's hand trembled slightly.
She had never seen such a bizarre scene before, that an evil creature could emit such a pure aura of light.
"This—this is impossible."
Ye Guyi's voice trembled slightly: "How could an evil creature possibly possess the aura of light?"
Electrolux also arrived at Huo Yuhao's side at this moment.
He gently tapped his staff on the ground, and wisps of supremely sacred aura emanated from Electrox.
Not only did he exude a sacred aura, but the life-gold within his heart also shone brightly at this moment.
The aura of light, holiness, and life flowed through the undead demiplane, which not only did not cause the undead creatures here to show any discomfort, but also made the golden light in their eye sockets shine even brighter.
Upon sensing the divine power emanating from Electrolux, Ye Guyi's aura dissipated.
The flaming longsword in her hand shattered, and she murmured in disbelief, "What on earth happened?"
"I am the Holy Necromancer, the Undead Scourge, Elex."
Electrox replied, "A demigod from another world."
"This space is called the Necromancer Demiplane. You can think of it as something I created specifically to research a soul skill."
Huo Yuhao added at the opportune moment: "Based on Elder Yi's strength before his death, his nominal realm was called demigod, but his actual combat power was comparable to that of the gods of this world."
"And I am the successor of Elder Yi's magic, and I possess necromancy with the attribute of light."
As Huo Yuhao began to explain the necromancy and Electrolux's identity, Ye Guyi's expression gradually became blank.
"So, as you can see, these undead creatures therefore possess the attribute of light."
"Even when Elder Yi is fully resurrected and comprehends the cycle of life and death, these undead creatures may even evolve into holy undead."
"The reason I brought you here is because I want to cooperate with you."
Huo Yuhao pointed to his fourth spirit ring and began to explain its origin.
The destruction of Poseidon Island, the dormancy of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the cooperation of the Demon Emperor —
One event after another constantly stimulated Ye Guyi's fragile nerves.
After saying everything, Huo Yuhao let out a long breath.
He had previously used lies to disguise his abilities, but this time, revealing the truth gave him a sense of clarity.
Aside from the matter of the Martial Ancestor's inheritance, Huo Yuhao told Ye Guyi almost everything he could tell her in order to gain the trust of this holy angel.
This sudden clarity of mind made Huo Yuhao feel as if a burden had been lifted, and his cultivation level even broke through one level at that moment.
Given Huo Yuhao's current cultivation speed, once he returns to the Heavenly Soul Empire and activates the Heavenly Heart Connection, he could probably become a Soul King within a year.
It took Ye Guyi more than ten minutes to digest what Huo Yuhao had said.
"The Evil Emperor in the Demon Forest is also a partner of the Holy Spirit Cult."
Huo Yuhao stated bluntly, "Even though the Holy Spirit Cult is lying dormant overseas, the Sun Moon Empire has already been thoroughly infiltrated by them."
"Therefore, I would like to invite you to join the Heavenly Soul Empire and contribute to the future fight against the Holy Spirit Cult."
"I have doubts about your birthplace, but your martial spirit and your divine power make me choose to tell you everything about myself."
Ye Guyi's fingertips dug deeply into her palm.
"So, you disguised yourself as Lin Yi to promote the development of soul tools in the Heavenly Soul Empire?"
"Then why did you unleash the calamity of the dead in Mingdu?"
Huo Yuhao pointed to the hills not far away: "See those things?"
"That's not a hill, but a war soul tool in the underground warehouse of the Sun Moon Empire."
"A future war is inevitable, and due to my stance, I choose to empty the place as much as possible."
"But due to time constraints, I couldn't completely empty the place, so I blew it up."
"And the undead scourge I just witnessed was the method I used to drive away civilians."
"If you think back carefully, you'll find that apart from the stampede, the undead creatures didn't actually attack civilians."
Men Yegu suddenly remembered the civilians fleeing in the streets.
She recalled that the Scourge was indeed advancing mechanically, and even when a child fell, an Abomination would try to block the crowd.
"But—you still caused chaos."
Ye Guyi spoke with less confidence than before: "Even if you drive away the civilians, it will still cause casualties."
Huo Yuhao said decisively, "That's right, there will inevitably be casualties in the chaos."
"But my stance is that of the Heavenly Soul Empire, which means I am destined to stand on the opposite side of the Sun Moon Empire."
"War is never a tender choice. I must nip anything that might threaten the Heavenly Soul Empire in the bud."
"I admit that my methods this time were tainted by darkness, exploiting the fear of the undead. But I, Huo Yuhao, have a clear conscience, because my actions were aimed at protecting others."
"The world is not black and white. As long as a person is alive, there will inevitably be choices to be made."
"The fact that I can use the undead scourge to disperse civilians is already the greatest act of kindness in my heart. Otherwise, even if I completely detonated the underground warehouse, no one in the Heavenly Soul Empire would criticize me for anything."
Huo Yuhao's words were like a heavy hammer, shattering Ye Guyi's black-and-white cognitive barrier.
"But the price you paid for protecting it was bloodshed and cries in Mingdu, only disguised as a veneer of 'for the country and the people'."
Huo Yuhao did not avoid Ye Guyi's gaze: "Then tell me, when the Holy Spirit Cult, with its strength greatly increased, makes a comeback, will the cries and bloodshed brought by these soul tools be less than today's Ming?"
Ye Guyi fell silent, completely unsure how to answer Huo Yuhao's question.
With its growing strength overseas, the Holy Spirit Cult has the potential to cultivate powerful individuals who can rival or even surpass the limits of the Heavenly Soul Three.
And once the three limits of the Heavenly Soul are restrained—
Ye Guyi dared not think any further.
At this moment, Ye Guyi suddenly felt that her previous ideas were frighteningly naive.
Her pity was somewhat cheap, and her yearning for pure light was nothing but fantasy.
"If I refuse," Ye Guyi asked, "will you kill me?"
Huo Yuhao said bluntly, "No. But I will erase your memories of today."
Ye Guyi fell silent as she looked at the Eye of the Mind shining between Huo Yuhao's brows.
"I choose to believe you."
Finally, Ye Guyi raised her head and looked directly into Huo Yuhao's Eye of the Soul: "But not because of your reasoning, but because there is light in your heart."
"My name is Ye Guyi, and I am willing to contribute to the future war against the Holy Spirit Cult."
