Chapter 530: Qian Renxue's Divine Soul
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In the next moment, a flash of white light flickered, and under the watchful gazes of those present, Huo Yuhao vanished without a trace.
Wrapped in golden flames, Huo Yuhao scanned his surroundings. The area was filled with wandering souls, their expressions vacant, drifting along as if they were mere puppets.
He withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and instead looked up at the sky.
Above him, thick, ink black storm clouds loomed like an impenetrable fortress.
Suddenly, blinding lightning slashed across the heavens, followed by an earth shattering thunderclap that roared like a celestial beast's fury.
Amidst the gloomy clouds, a pair of colossal, blood stained wings and a mangled white skeletal frame slowly emerged a chilling and gruesome sight.
Faintly, Huo Yuhao's ears picked up a mournful phoenix cry, so sharp and sorrowful that it seemed to pierce through his soul.
A thick, metallic scent of blood lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate, making him feel slightly uncomfortable.
"The Netherworld… so this is the realm that was only briefly mentioned in the original story, never fully revealed."
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly.
Beside him, Electrolux glanced at Huo Yuhao before speaking directly into his mind:
"Yuhao, the aura of the Angel bloodline still lingers on you. Now that we've entered the Netherworld, you must use this bloodline's resonance to search for Qian Renxue. I will assist you accordingly."
"Understood, Teacher." Huo Yuhao responded.
He immediately began channeling both soul power and spiritual energy into the golden flames surrounding his body.
Gradually, the flames burned even brighter, their radiance growing increasingly dazzling.
Meanwhile, Electrolux raised his white scepter and began to wave it.
The aura of both death and divinity around him grew denser, and mysterious, cryptic runes appeared across the scepter's surface.
These runes wriggled like tiny serpents, slithering back and forth over the staff.
Slowly but surely, the frequency of the golden flames' pulsations synchronized perfectly with the movements of the runes.
Then
HUMMM !
A series of golden ripples burst outward from Huo Yuhao's body.
As soon as they touched the scepter, they reverberated once more
HUMMM !
Instantly, the ripples accelerated exponentially, shooting into the endless distance, vanishing beyond the horizon of sight.
Electrolux's voice sounded again:
"Yuhao, be patient. Once we locate an Angel Clan soul, the ripples will resonate in response and return to us with information about its strength and precise location. As long as Qian Renxue's soul has not been completely obliterated, there's a high chance we'll find her."
As a legendary Necromancer and creator of divine artifacts, Electrolux's talent for invention and innovation was undeniable he far surpassed Tang San in this regard.
While Huo Yuhao had been guiding the Angel bloodline's resonance, Electrolux had already devised a method to track Qian Renxue's soul, using his vast experience and adapting it to the Douluo Continent's laws of reality.
"Understood, Teacher." Huo Yuhao transmitted his response.
His trust in Electrolux was absolute.
After all, his teacher wasn't like Yu Xiaogang, who couldn't even safely lead students on a soul beast hunt without getting them killed.
A few moments later, multiple golden ripples surged back and flowed into Huo Yuhao's body.
His expression flickered as he digested the incoming information.
The Netherworld contained an unexpectedly high number of Angel Clan souls.
"Could this be another one of Tang San's brilliant schemes?"
Given Tang San's vindictive nature, it was entirely possible that after becoming a God King, he had ensured that no Angel Clan souls could reincarnate.
If that were the case, then it made perfect sense that a vast number of Angel souls had accumulated here.
To confirm his suspicions, Huo Yuhao consulted the Douluo Plane's Will.
It quickly responded, explaining why so many Angel Clan souls were trapped in the Netherworld.
The Douluo Plane's Will governed only the Douluo Realm not the Netherworld.
However, there existed a "Reincarnation Gate" that linked the Netherworld to the Douluo Plane.
Souls would wander the harsh, tormenting Netherworld for an extended period before eventually passing through this gate to reincarnate.
But after Tang San ascended to the Divine Realm, he manipulated his father, Tang Hao, into devouring the Douluo Plane's Will, gaining partial control over the cycle of reincarnation.
Then, Tang San used Tang Hao's newfound authority to seal the Reincarnation Gate, making it so that only souls personally approved by the Plane's Will could pass through.
This allowed him to block certain individuals from reincarnation, trapping their souls in eternal suffering within the Netherworld.
Hmm…
With Tang San's callous personality, it was highly plausible that he had done exactly this.
For his so called "allies," he might justify it as "tempering their wills through hardship."
After all, one must endure storms before they can witness a rainbow right?
What a "kind and merciful" God King he was!
An unparalleled act of benevolence!
Anyone who dared to question him clearly didn't understand the depths of his divine wisdom!
And as for his "enemies"?
Well, they deserved their endless suffering, of course.
Their descendants should also bear the weight of their sins punished across generations!
After all
Lightning and gentle rain alike, all are gifts from the God King!
While mocking Tang San's inhumanity, Huo Yuhao continued processing the information from the ripples.
Then, his eyes lit up in excitement.
"Teacher, according to the ripples' response, there is an extremely powerful Angel Clan soul in the west. Compared to the other souls, it shines like the full moon amidst fireflies!"
"In fact, calling it just a soul might not even be accurate this should be a Divine Soul."
In Douluo's established lore, Qian Renxue's God Position was shattered, and her Martial Soul was broken, meaning she was no longer an Angel God.
A broken Martial Soul wasn't the real problem after all, Xiao Xiao had her Martial Soul shattered in a tournament match, yet recovered just fine after some rest.
But a shattered God Position was a major issue.
Even so, Qian Renxue remained a divine level powerhouse.
Though she lacked a God Position, she was still far stronger than ordinary Titled Douluos.
Of course, compared to a God King like Tang San, her power was insignificant she would be utterly crushed.
And as for her Angel God Armor and Angelic Sacred Sword…
Even if Tang San hadn't taken them, Qian Renxue's weakened state would barely allow her to wield a fraction of their power.
After all, a Rank 100 God without a God Position couldn't even come close to the strength of a Rank 1 God with a full inheritance.
Electrolux's voice rang out:
"Oh? That must be Qian Renxue's Divine Soul. Yuhao, let's head there immediately."
"Understood!"
With that, Huo Yuhao and Electrolux swiftly made their way toward the location of the Divine Soul.
A while later
They arrived at a scene of breathtaking beauty.
Before them stood a golden haired maiden, so unearthly and exquisite that she seemed almost unreal.
She wore golden armor adorned with feathered patterns, and in her hand, she tightly gripped a flaming golden sword.
Her eyes remained shut, as if she were in eternal slumber.
