Douluo: The True Eye

Led by the Shrek Title Douluo, Huo Yuhao encountered many soul beasts along the way as he ventured deeper into the mixed zone. However, none of these soul beasts could provide him with the soul rings he needed, so he did not provoke them.

Although most soul beasts were hostile towards soul masters, with a Title Douluo protecting him, even without causing a great commotion, they could easily be driven away.

After all, most fearless soul beasts died young during their growth. In most cases, the longer a soul beast lived, the more it cherished its life, except when specific situations aroused the beast's ferocity.

Not far away, a pure white butterfly-type soul beast, with its wings fluttering, emitted twinkling scales of light as it flew rapidly into the distance.

At such a close distance, even the Title Douluo felt obvious mental power fluctuations emanating from the butterfly-type soul beast, but Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"That's probably not it. That's not its true form. In my mental perception, the mental power fluctuations emanating from this soul beast are too scattered and weak, seemingly strong on the outside but hollow on the inside, without roots or sources."

"I speculate that the true form of the soul beast I just discovered should be a soul beast that the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Butterfly might transform into when advancing to ten-thousand-year cultivation, called the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly."

"And this butterfly-type soul beast is just a form it uses to differentiate and disguise itself through mental power, to confuse enemies."

"It should be an illusion based on the Light Dust Butterfly, but since this illusion is here, then the true form of the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly should also be nearby."

Hearing this, the Title Douluo nodded: "That's simple. Since it's nearby, that's easy to handle. Since it's a ten-thousand-year soul beast, then I'll just use a little less force, injuring it without killing it."

The pair of wings on the Title Douluo's back suddenly enlarged, then emitted a cyan-black metallic luster.

Then, as the soul rings under his feet flickered, countless feather phantoms with metallic luster began to revolve and dance around him and Huo Yuhao.

Before long, tens of thousands of feather blades with soul power and metallic luster formed a storm that continuously expanded outward.

Under this metallic storm that constantly expanded in a spherical shape, the trees and soil in its path were cut and crushed, swept away.

And as Huo Yuhao said, the 'Light Dust Butterfly' that was still fleeing earlier disappeared into the air like a popped bubble the moment it was hit by the metallic wings.

Only a dissipating cloud of mental power was left, without leaving a physical body.

The Title Douluo glanced at it and then said: "Hold on to me, don't throw up. When suppressing the power, the range of my Golden Wing Dance cannot be expanded, it can only sweep the area up to a hundred meters outside my body."

Huo Yuhao nodded. Then, as the Title Douluo carried Huo Yuhao through the forest, the plants and trees in their path were all crushed by the Golden Wing Dance. At this time, the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly they were looking for finally appeared.

"Huh?" The Title Douluo raised an eyebrow: "Another mutated soul beast, another ten-thousand-year cultivation. I originally thought your luck was good enough, but I didn't expect that what you encountered was actually a ten-thousand-year soul beast that had completed most of its transformation."

Huo Yuhao was also a little surprised. This was only the first day he entered the Star Dou Forest. Originally, according to his plan, even with a Title Douluo leading the team, as long as he didn't reveal the information about the Ice Silkworm, it would take at least a week to gain something.

But he didn't expect it to be so smooth. Soul beasts are most vulnerable during their transformation.

Moreover, completing the transformation does not mean that the soul beast's cultivation has completed its ascension, but must be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The process of the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Butterfly transforming into the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly requires complete metamorphosis after forming a cocoon.

Generally speaking, out of a hundred Thousand-Eyed Spirit Butterflies that are about to break through to ten-thousand-year cultivation, perhaps only ten will choose to transform.

Because even if they are lucky enough to survive the transformation process, which has a success rate of less than one in ten, after the transformation is complete, the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly that emerges from the cocoon can only use its own mental power within an hour. Their bodies are extremely fragile.

They cannot use soul power or fly, and even a hundred-year soul beast, if not affected by mental illusions, can easily kill them in this state.

And the ability to release mental power to form illusions symbolizes that the transformation process of this Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly has reached the final stage, and it has already succeeded, only needing to wait quietly to break out of its cocoon.

The Title Douluo's Golden Wing Dance earlier suppressed its power, and it was a large-scale attack. Although it hit the cocoon of the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly, causing it to appear.

But it was blocked by the mental power and the tough transformation cocoon used to protect itself. However, in this way, the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly's own mental power has also been consumed a lot.

When the transformation is complete and it breaks out of its cocoon, Huo Yuhao can kill it on his own without the Title Douluo's help.

"It seems that this Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly should be able to break out of its cocoon in less than half an hour. Let's wait here for a while."

The Title Douluo put down Huo Yuhao and casually found a clean place to sit down in the surrounding ruins.

Although this place had just been swept by the Golden Wing Dance, it was not conspicuous compared to the vast Star Dou Forest.

You should know that this place is originally the territory of the Thousand-Shadow Illusionary Spirit Butterfly, and the range affected by the Golden Wing Dance is not large. The dead and injured are only a few plant-type soul beasts. Normally, there is no problem even if you rest here.

Everything went as they expected. Soon, after about forty minutes, the cocoon that had been enveloping the Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly began to turn into specks of light, dissipating into the air.

A butterfly-type soul beast, its wings curled up and looking extremely weak, appeared before Huo Yuhao.

Unlike the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Butterfly, which has up to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety eye patterns depicted on its back wings depending on its age,

the Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly's back wings are a single color without any patterns. However, upon closer inspection, one could see concentric wave-like纹路纹路 spreading from the base of the wings to the edges.

Although the wings were not yet open, some scales mixed with spiritual power had already begun to dissipate around it.

It was like a warning, but due to the previous consumption, the means that the Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly originally used to deter potential threats after its transformation seemed so ridiculous.

The scales scattered less than half a meter before falling to the ground, losing their luster. The compound eyes of the Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly, which should have been radiating spiritual light, were now foggy and particularly dim.

Without further ado, Huo Yuhao directly took out a level-three soul tool that Ning Tian had funded and distributed to everyone during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, and attacked the Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly in front of him.

The Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly still wanted to resist, but its fragile body could not support the flow of soul power, and its spiritual power had been mostly consumed during the transformation process to produce light dust butterfly phantoms and protect itself.

Although it勉强勉强 formed a defense, it could not block Huo Yuhao's repeated attacks.

This ten-thousand-year Thousand-Eyed Spirit Butterfly, which had gone through countless hardships and finally completed its transformation to become a Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly, died the moment after breaking out of its cocoon, without even seeing the new world.

Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring produced by the Thousand Shadow Illusory Butterfly, which, although extremely pale in color, was entirely black.

Just as Huo Yuhao was absorbing the soul ring, the Shrek Title Douluo who was guarding Huo Yuhao frowned, sensing something was wrong.

"Wait, this aura is, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?" At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although as a Title Douluo from Shrek Academy, he was not afraid of ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, Huo Yuhao, a quasi-Soul Grandmaster who was absorbing a soul ring, was beside him.

If he were to take action here, the consequences would probably be dire. However, before leaving Shrek Academy, Mu En had also asked him to collect several ordinary level-six soul tools from the Soul Tool Department.

After all, one reason was to promote the integration of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department, and the other was that Xuan Zi's repeated incidents had also made Mu En feel a little distrustful of the Title Douluos from Shrek.

Most of the Title Douluos of Shrek Academy were largely cultivated by Xuan Zi during their training. Therefore, if they also inherited Xuan Zi's ways, it would be better to carry some soul tools with them just in case.

After a little thought, the Shrek Title Douluo arranged several soul tools around Huo Yuhao and used his soul power to charge them.

At the same time, he also left a note, telling Huo Yuhao to leave quickly and return to Shrek Academy if he finished absorbing the soul ring but had not returned.

"I really don't know if you're lucky or unlucky." Watching the soul tool light screens rise and cover the aura fluctuations around Huo Yuhao, the Shrek Title Douluo sighed helplessly.

"You encountered a perfectly matched spiritual attribute soul beast one moment, and the next moment you encountered a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the mixed area. I hope you can successfully complete the absorption and leave here on your own while I lure that soul beast away."

Flapping his wings and flying high, the Title Douluo directly left this place and approached the soul beast with the powerful aura in the distance.

At the same time, his cultivation aura constantly rose, attracting the other party's attention.

It was only after approaching that the Shrek Title Douluo realized something was wrong: "Damn, a ferocious beast, how could it be here?!"

As a level ninety-three Title Douluo, he was not afraid of ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, but if the enemy was a ferocious beast, even if it was only a two-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast with weak cultivation, it would be a world of difference.

Even if he wanted to lure it away at this time, it would probably be a lot of trouble, but at this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

At this time, the Scarlet King, who was watching over the Emperor Rui Beast eating, also sensed the powerful aura emitted by the Title Douluo not far away.

"Roar! Actually at this time."

"Could it be for the Rui Beast?"

"No, we can't let outsiders discover the Rui Beast!"

The Scarlet King's three heads roared, and at the same time, its own aura rose and迎了迎了 towards the Shrek Title Douluo.

Although the Golden Eyed Golden Lion sensed the confrontation between the two powerful auras, it was more annoyed because it had almost caught a ten-thousand-year Aurora Ape, but it had already run far away taking advantage of the opportunity.

"Damn it, what is Uncle Scarlet King doing!" Watching the lunch flying away from its plate, the Golden Eyed Golden Lion gritted its teeth and quickly chased after it.

After all, at this time, it did not have a full understanding of humans, and did not know what humans were. Growing up under the宠溺宠溺 of a group of ferocious beasts, it did not even know the relationship between humans and soul beasts.

Even in general, unless humans actively attacked it, the Golden Eyed Golden Lion would not even actively attack humans like ordinary soul beasts.

'Something seems wrong outside.' Huo Yuhao, whose whole mind was focused on absorbing and refining the soul ring, suddenly received a reminder from Tianmeng Iceworm.

'?' Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, normally speaking, unless it was a Limit Douluo or someone at Di Tian's level who could affect space and approach the level of a demigod.

Otherwise, with Ilex's current strength, not to mention whether he could defeat the attacker when controlling himself, but with the existence of the Undead Demiplane, he could definitely take himself away no matter what.

And even if it was really a Limit Douluo or Di Tian, then in a desperate situation, throwing out some information that he knew would definitely buy time, rather than being directly put to death by the other party.

It wasn't until Huo Yuhao opened his eyes after refining the soul ring that he saw a golden-haired lion—the Golden Eyed Golden Lion—贴在贴在 on the transparent soul tool protective罩罩, curiously looking at him, with a few drops of golden liquid dripping from its mouth.
