Sensation
The Golden Dragon Spear can only truly be wielded by one who possesses the Golden Dragon lineage.
It is true that Yuhao does not naturally possess the pure Golden Dragon bloodline, but within his body lies the sealed power of the Golden Dragon King.
Moreover, this Golden Dragon Spear was originally forged from the ribs of the Golden Dragon King itself.
Therefore, if Yuhao cannot use it, then no one in this world would be qualified to wield the Golden Dragon Spear.
Yu Hao casually waved it a few times, and the golden spear roared through the air. The surrounding vegetation instantly began to turn yellow and wither, spreading outward in all directions with Yu Hao as the center.
This was the life-devouring attribute of the Golden Dragon Spear.
At the same time, after devouring the vitality of the surrounding lifeforms, it fed that energy back into Yu Hao.
"Hmm…"
The immense life force surged into his body, immediately strengthening Yuhao's qi and blood, causing him to narrow his eyes in satisfaction.
Buzz—
The Golden Dragon Spear seemed to sense Yu Hao's emotions and immediately intensified its devouring ability, attempting to absorb even more life force and return it to him.
However, Yuhao lightly flicked the spear and said with a faint smile:
"Alright. If you continue like this, the inner area will turn into barren land."
Upon receiving Yuhao's command, the Golden Dragon Spear instantly restrained its devouring power. Its spirituality made Yuhao regard it as a true divine weapon.
Di Tian and the Beast Emperor beside him quickly spoke:
"Congratulations, my lord, on obtaining such a divine artifact."
Yuhao chuckled softly and did not deny it. After all, the Golden Dragon Spear could display its greatest power in his hands.
...
For the next ten days, Yuhao remained within the core region, cultivating in seclusion.
Although breaking the seventh seal of the Golden Dragon King ten days earlier had been extremely dangerous—nearly costing him his life—he had also gained tremendous benefits.
First, his Golden Dragon bloodline had further awakened, forming six powerful golden soul rings condensed from qi and blood. This signified that Yuhao had already absorbed the strength contained within six seals.
In addition, his body had been repeatedly destroyed under the pressure of power exceeding the demigod level, then reforged with the aid of the Life Gold and the tempering effects of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's medicinal essence.
This process greatly strengthened his physique, his vitality, and his qi and blood. Even his progress toward the Golden Body had advanced significantly.
Although it was not yet fully perfected, the strength of his body was already astonishing.
Combined with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline martial soul, Yuhao's physical strength could rival top-tier body cultivators. At the same level, almost no one could injure him.
If Yu Hao were to face Ji Juechen at this moment, he could defeat him using only his physical strength and Golden Dragon power.
Beyond physical strength, Yuhao's spiritual and soul power had also made major breakthroughs.
His spiritual power had advanced from the tangible yet formless realm into the tangible and solid realm. With the help of the Eye of Destiny, his spiritual sea had expanded multiple times over.
Even ordinary Titled Douluo would struggle to match him in spiritual strength.
As for soul power, it had increased by more than ten levels. However, after Yuhao compressed it, his cultivation stabilized around level 45.
Even so, the total amount of soul power he possessed already rivaled that of a Soul King above level 50.
...
While Yuhao cultivated quietly within the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, the outside world had already fallen into turmoil because of him.
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
Inside a teahouse, several people sat around a table, discussing recent events.
"Have you heard? Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy joined forces to hunt down the Noumenon Sect. In the end, two Class 9 soul engineers from the Sun Moon side died, and Shrek suffered even greater losses—Dean Yan Shaozhe was severely injured, and Vice-Dean Cai Meier was killed."
"What? Is that true? What kind of force is this Noumenon Sect, to provoke both academies into taking action together?"
"The Noumenon Sect is also known as the Body Sect. As for the reason, it's because of their young master—Huo Yuhao—who possesses both a top-tier body martial soul and extraordinary abilities."
At the mention of Yuhao's name, the surrounding listeners either gasped or shook their heads in disbelief.
After all, the Soul Master Elite Tournament had only recently concluded, and Yuhao's performance remained fresh in everyone's memory.
Whether it was his twin martial souls, his powerful soul rings, or his ability to summon the Snow Empress and defeat opponents far above his level—it all seemed unbelievable.
At the same time, this made people understand why the two great academies would join forces.
Yuhao's displayed talent and combat power were simply too terrifying. If allowed to grow, he would undoubtedly become a dominant figure on the continent.
However, some still raised doubts.
"Wait a moment. I understand why the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy would act, but why would Shrek Academy get involved? Aren't they supposed to remain neutral and focus on nurturing talent?"
This immediately drew ridicule from others.
"You're too naive. Do you really think Shrek Academy is that simple? The reason they haven't acted before is because no one posed a real threat to their position."
"But the Body Sect is different. Their strength rivals Shrek, and Huo Yuhao's talent is unprecedented. If he grows stronger, Shrek's status as the number one academy could be shaken."
Hearing this explanation, those who were confused suddenly understood.
At that moment, another voice quietly added:
"Besides… how can you be sure Shrek has never eliminated geniuses from other factions before?"
The entire table fell silent.
...
Because Star Luo City was closest to the battlefield, news spread there the fastest—especially within the royal palace.
Inside the grand hall, Emperor Xu Jiawei frowned, tapping the armrest lightly as he muttered:
"Twin martial souls… such a genius truly exists…"
He had long known about the joint operation against the Body Sect.
Initially, he had considered intervening.
After all, the Body Sect belonged to the Heavenly Soul Empire, and Yuhao had killed Dai Huabin during the tournament.
But in the end, he chose not to act.
In his view, Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy were the two strongest forces on the continent. Together, they should have easily destroyed the Body Sect.
Yet the outcome was completely unexpected—they suffered heavy losses instead.
Xu Jiawei felt no regret, only relief.
Fortunately, he had not taken action.
Otherwise, the Star Luo Empire would have become enemies with both the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Although relations were still tense, they had not reached an irreversible point.
Thinking of Yuhao's terrifying talent, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but sigh.
"A Soul Sect with such power… what kind of monster is this?"
A strange light flickered in his eyes as he fell into deep thought.
And it was not only Star Luo City that was shaken.
Shrek City was equally thrown into turmoil.
