Su Ming sought out Huo Yuhao.
He got straight to the point. "The Evil Monarch once made an agreement with me. His entire cultivation was to be sacrificed to my Spirit Soul."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression darkened slightly.
Even with Su Ming's condensing experience, he wasn't very confident about condensing the third Spirit Core.
If he could have the Evil Monarch's sacrifice, his chances of success would greatly increase.
But now, Su Ming was saying that the Evil Monarch was originally meant to be sacrificed to him?
Huo Yuhao knew that the Evil Monarch would ultimately be sacrificed to him, but he would also have to compensate Su Ming.
The relationship between him and Su Ming was not exactly friendly.
One was the Body Sect, the other Shrek Academy. The two factions had many conflicts.
"What do you want?" Huo Yuhao asked cautiously.
Su Ming didn't procrastinate and directly stated his terms: "The Evil Monarch sacrifices himself to you. After you become a god, you will strip away the excess power within you and give it to me."
"Excess power?"
Su Ming said, "You possess the divine power of the Rakshasa God within you."
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted.
He vaguely knew this, but he hadn't expected Su Ming to know it too.
"What do you want the Rakshasa God's power for?"
"You don't need to know." Su Ming didn't answer. "You only need to prepare in advance and hand over the Rakshasa God's power when I need it."
Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and directly agreed.
The Rakshasa God's power was left in his body by Tang San. He certainly didn't want to keep it.
If Su Ming wanted it, he would give it to him.
Evil Demon Forest.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to forcibly defeat the Evil Monarch.
"My cultivation belongs to Su Ming. You all—"
"Your cultivation now belongs to me," Huo Yuhao said coldly.
Although his eyes were filled with killing intent, he didn't strike immediately.
"You will sacrifice yourself."
What?
The Evil Monarch was stunned.
"I am about to inherit a divine seat. I need you as my Spirit Soul," Huo Yuhao didn't hide it, stating directly. "I need you, as a Spirit Soul, to bear part of the divine seat's power for me. In return, you will effectively become a god through me."
Hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in the Evil Monarch's eyes.
Becoming a god?
Then he would indeed consider it.
"You have no choice."
Huo Yuhao, growing impatient, reminded him.
The Evil Monarch then resigned himself.
"Fine. I will sacrifice myself to you."
Having been subdued by Su Ming long ago, with the psychology that his cultivation would attribute to the other party, the Evil Monarch was also different from the original story.
Since his cultivation had been scheduled by someone else early on, what did it matter who he gave it to?
Su Ming hadn't given him many promises back then.
He had only promised him a chance to become a god and to try his best to help him with the tribulation's trouble.
But his entire cultivation would still have to be given to Chaos.
To the Evil Monarch, this had limited value – only that one chance was worth the gamble.
But if his cultivation was taken, how could he attack the divine level?
Cultivate anew?
And, only one chance was given.
Therefore, compared to Su Ming's promise, the Evil Monarch was quickly convinced by Huo Yuhao.
"In the current Spirit Master world, Su Ming is supposed to be the ruler. Since Huo Yuhao came, Su Ming likely also approves."
The Evil Monarch didn't think he would be punished by Su Ming for switching sides.
It was evident that Huo Yuhao's arrival had Su Ming's approval.
The world grew dim and heavy. The entire Evil Demon Forest fell into dead silence.
A huge eye, with eighty-one tentacles, looked down at the forest below, a hint of determination in its gaze.
The next moment, the eye shattered.
The Heaven and Earth Vital Energy was instantly contaminated by its Spirit Power, turning black pitch, engulfing the entire forest.
Under the terrifying pressure, the Spirit Beasts in the forest prostrated themselves, seeing off the emperor they had served all their lives.
Huo Yuhao reached out, using his spiritual power to outline a contract array, signing a Spirit Soul contract with the Evil Monarch.
From the Evil Monarch's shattered body, a spiritual body condensed and merged into Huo Yuhao's body.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Vital Energy instantly poured into his body. The Evil Monarch's entire cultivation also condensed into an orange-gold Spirit Ring, settling around Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul was finally fully equipped.
Reincarnation Realm.
Upon returning, Huo Yuhao immediately went into seclusion.
Time passed.
Three months later.
At Huo Yuhao's seclusion site, surrounding energy was engulfed. A huge vortex condensed in the sky.
Spirit Masters nearby noticed this scene, exclaiming in surprise.
"Is this condensing a Spirit Core?"
"That's Huo Yuhao's seclusion site. He's about to condense his third Spirit Core."
"Besides Su Ming, the second person to condense three Spirit Cores!"
Su Ming quietly watched this scene.
"Next is becoming a god."
Beside Su Ming, Rong Nianbing's projection sighed emotionally.
He looked at Su Ming, his gaze somewhat reproachful. "Originally, according to the divine trial I set for him, the final trial was to become the strongest on Douluo Star. Then he could directly fuse the divine seat."
Obviously, with Su Ming above, no matter how hard Huo Yuhao tried, he could never become the strongest.
Su Ming's strength was unfathomable.
Now that he had advanced to God King, Rong Nianbing still wouldn't claim to truly understand Su Ming's limits.
Was this guy even still a Spirit Master?
Had he really not yet become a god?
This thought arose, and Rong Nianbing glanced at Su Ming.
Spirit Power fluctuation – level ninety.
What was this guy waiting for? He still hadn't absorbed his ninth Spirit Ring.
"Emotion God Divine Trial, Ninth Trial, complete!"
A voice flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind.
Then, he felt his spiritual body being guided, rapidly detaching from his physical body, drifting toward some unknown direction.
God Realm.
Temple of the God of Destruction.
"He's handing over the Emotion God so quickly?" The God of Destruction was surprised.
He was actually more surprised by Huo Yuhao's growth rate.
Su Ming hadn't become a god yet, but Huo Yuhao was already inheriting a divine seat first.
Come to think of it, what was Su Ming doing?
"This guy hasn't even begun gathering a demi-divine seat yet."
The God of Destruction was very anxious.
Although there had been multiple conflicts with Su Ming, in the God of Destruction's view, their interests were still aligned.
Su Ming needed to gather a divine seat and enter the God Realm, and he also hoped this would happen.
But what was this guy waiting for?
Sea God Temple.
Tang San felt Huo Yuhao's aura rising, his expression darkening.
Conversations between Su Ming and Huo Yuhao had all been blocked, but Tang San knew he had been blocked.
He watched helplessly as Su Ming and Electrolux had several negotiations with Huo Yuhao.
Then, Huo Yuhao's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Even condensing the third Spirit Core had gone so smoothly, making Tang San uneasy.
"How did Huo Yuhao gain the support of those two? Or rather, what makes Su Ming and the other think they can attract Huo Yuhao?"
Had this ungrateful wretch changed his heart? No longer loved his daughter?
A murderous intent flashed in Tang San's eyes.
If Huo Yuhao truly was this untrustworthy, he would show no mercy.
Even if the God of Destruction wounded him heavily, he would definitely seek justice for his daughter!
Valley of Emotions.
Rong Nianbing looked at his successor before him, smiling and nodding with satisfaction.
To be honest, Huo Yuhao was far inferior to Su Ming.
But Rong Nianbing didn't regret it.
Compared to Su Ming, Huo Yuhao was more in tune with the Emotion God – even more than Rong Nianbing himself.
