Finally, the elder of the branch temple couldn't help but explode. He lost control of his emotions and said, "Master Saint Son, you know that if I tell you the location of the main temple, the restrictions in my body will be triggered and I will explode and die. Why do you keep forcing me again and again!"
"Just because we disrespected you before, do you want me to die?"
Seeing that he really couldn’t get any more information out of him, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to give up asking further questions and said coldly, “Yes, now that you’ve discovered me, I want you to die.”
"Sir, you...ah——"
Before the helpless rebuke of the branch elder could be heard, it turned into a desperate wail.
Huo Yuhao clenched his right hand, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand suddenly shattered into pieces. Accompanied by miserable howls, the souls of those who died tragically began to fly around the hall.
Every time a soul flies past the branch altar elder and the great holy spirit, it will tear off a piece of flesh and blood.
"Release the hatred you have pent up for so long."
Huo Yuhao sat on the chair, looking at the branch elders and the Great Holy Spirit who were surrounded by the vengeful spirits without any emotion.
These two evil soul masters, one Soul Emperor and the other Soul Saint, are both masters of controlling souls. But at this moment they are powerless to fight back in front of the vast sea of resentful spirits.
The miserable sight of their desperate struggles was just like the sight of those souls dying in their hands.
"what--"
The cultivation level of the branch elder has reached Soul Saint, but he was also the most direct user of the Holy Spirit Flag before, and the backlash he suffered was even stronger.
The vengeful spirits kept tearing at his clothes and flesh. He wanted to resist, but he couldn't even release his soul ring.
Nana took off her bamboo hat and covered her face with tears. Among those dancing souls, she finally saw her father and mother.
"Ah——Sir, why——"
Finally, the last bit of soul power in the shattered bodies of the branch elders and the great holy spirit was divided up by the surrounding vengeful spirits.
"rest in peace."
Huo Yuhao said nothing more. He waved his arms lightly, and the vengeful spirits that were flying around randomly were gradually purified under a soft gray light.
Nana has found the souls of her parents. Besides her, there are several holy servants who, after hearing the noise in the house, came to see their parents for the last time.
Huo Yuhao did not plan to stay long. He stood up and wanted to carefully examine the body of the branch elder to answer the doubts in his heart, but he saw Nana kneeling in front of him.
Nana asked, "Sir, are you leaving now?"
Huo Yuhao frowned and said, “Aren’t you going to leave and wait for the Holy Spirit Cult people to arrive?”
Nana said with swollen eyes: "Sir, you helped us rescue our parents. We are all orphans. From now on, we are willing to follow you and obey all your instructions."
Including her, a total of eight former holy servants knelt on the ground together.
"We are willing to follow you forever."
Huo Yuhao frowned and said, “I don’t need you to follow me. If you stay with me, you will only cause me trouble.”
Nana was stunned for a moment.
As a powerful person who is about to break through to the Soul Emperor level, this is the first time she has heard someone say that she is a trouble.
"But, my lord, if you don't accept us, we will have nowhere to go. The altar has been destroyed, and we can no longer stay in Sun Moon Academy."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "You should have your own lives. The shackles have been severed. Your future is bright. With your strength of at least three or four rings, you can live well in any city in the other three countries."
"But..." Nana wanted to continue begging.
Seeing that she was still pursuing him, Huo Yuhao suddenly said, “In that case, I will assign you a very important task.”
Nana's eyes immediately lit up and she assured him, "Yes, sir."
Huo Yuhao took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter, and then handed it to Nana along with a black and gold card with tulips printed on it.
"You are to leave immediately and take this letter to the capital of the Xing Luo Empire. Find any royal industry headquarters and show this to their supervisor."
"Then they will take you to meet a princess of Xingluo and tell her all the news about the Holy Spirit Church. After that, she will arrange everything for the eight of you."
"Swear on your souls that you will never betray me. Can you do it?"
The eight people including Nana clearly felt a tremor in their souls, an instinctive fear coming from the depths of their souls.
"Yes, sir." The eight people said in unison.
After Nana and the others left, Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand, moved his lips slightly, and a gray hexagram slowly rose, and then a door appeared out of thin air.
He walked into the undead demiplane with the bodies of the branch elders and two Holy Spirit disciples.
"No wonder he always wears a shabby hood, it turns out he is really shameful to be seen."
In the undead demiplane, Huo Yuhao finally saw the true face of the branch elder and understood the reason for the strange aura around him.
His face was a strange black color, and the fresh corpse that had died not long ago actually had corpse spots on it.
"Yuhao...you actually have the evil taste of whipping corpses..." Tianmeng complained beside him.
Bingdi disagreed: "Yuhao probably wants to turn these people's bodies into undead creatures, right?"
Huo Yuhao stated his purpose: “Actually, I just feel that this branch elder is very strange, but I can’t tell what’s wrong.”
"Kid, your feeling is right." Yin Lex said, "I don't know if it's because of his martial spirit or some other secret method, but he actually possessed some characteristics of undead creatures when he was alive, just like a living zombie."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the living zombies are so pathetic..."
Huo Yuhao stared at the stiff corpse of the branch elder and suddenly asked, "Master Yin, can undead creatures still die?"
Yin Lex said: "Child, you want to say..."
“I think he might have done a very crazy experiment.” Huo Yuhao said, “If undead creatures will no longer die, then I think the immortality you have been pursuing is much simpler than I thought.”
Tianmeng and the other two understood what he meant immediately.
"Yuhao, what you mean is..."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "If I transform myself into an undead creature, wouldn't I be able to achieve eternal life?"
“Isn’t this another way to eternal life?”
The three from the Far North fell into a long silence.
Even Yin Lex said in a deep voice: "Kid, you are thinking about something very dangerous."
Finally, Xue Di also said: "Yuhao, I have seen the undead creatures in this demiplane. Without external threats, they may not be troubled by death anymore."
"But we soul beasts are different from them. What limits our lifespan is not lifespan or illness, but heavenly tribulation."
"Only after we survive the catastrophe that occurs every 100,000 years, will we be eligible to enjoy the next 100,000 years of life."
"Is this so..."
Huo Yuhao stared at the group of undead creatures in the distance, seeming to be thinking about something.
Chapter 284 The Son of Destruction
Skeletons of different colors gathered in groups of two or three, wandering aimlessly; the stitched-looking abominations looked around with bulging eyes; the bone dragon had the largest territory, crouching down to rest...
The images of these dead creatures seemed to come from the equally dead World of Warcraft. Even though Huo Yuhao had not learned undead magic, he could still recognize them roughly.
The behavior patterns of undead creatures are very similar to those of living creatures, but they do not need to eat and will not be tortured by illness. However, their intelligence level needs to be improved.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the major races in the Undead Demiplane. These undead creatures did not have soul power. Most of them were between three and six rings strong. The bone dragon was the strongest, and the one in front of him was above the Soul Douluo.
After countless years of nourishment from the breath of death, these undead creatures have formed the huge community before us.
However, with Huo Yuhao’s current strength, he is not able to make them completely obey him and summon them into reality to become his thugs.
Yin Laikes said: "Yuhao, your guess is correct. I did the same thing at the beginning."
“Huh?” Huo Yuhao was obviously stunned when he heard Yin Laix’s words. It seemed that he was not the first person to think so.
"When I was alive, I used a special magic ritual to transform myself into a half-human, half-undead lich."
"But no matter how powerful a necromancer is, when casting necromancy, he must use his own vitality to achieve it. I will inevitably grow old in the end."
"Undead creatures will no longer die from physical aging and illness, but they will also exhaust their vitality and their souls."
"This so-called immortality is false, fragile, and temporary. Even the weakest skeleton who has lived for tens of millions of years is still as fragile as a bundle of firewood."
The Ice Emperor snorted in obvious resistance: "I don't want to become a skeleton for eternal life."
"Hehe, Bingbing, if you turn into a skeleton, you will definitely be emerald green."
"Ok?"
Feeling Bingdi's cold gaze, Tianmeng tactfully shut his mouth.
Huo Yuhao's thoughts today seemed to have aroused Yin Lex's desire to talk, and the latter asked, "Kid, in your eyes, what kind of existence is undead magic?"
Huo Yuhao said without hesitation: "It is very useful and easy to use. It is specially used to kill evil soul masters. It allows me to easily deal with them by crossing two or three realms."
Yin Lex said: "Yuhao, there are few people who are as free and easy as you when hearing about necromancy."
"After all, in the eyes of most people, necromancy is evil. Death, corpses, souls...Since necromancy studies these terrifying areas, people tend to be terrified when talking about it."
Huo Yuhao said in a relaxed tone: "I think that the earliest necromancers are the pioneers who deserve respect in overcoming fear and studying these things."
He thought of those doctors who had secretly dissected corpses and studied the human body under ban long ago. Perhaps in the eyes of many people they were morbid and crazy, but it was undeniable that they contributed their own efforts to the advancement of science.
die……
Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of something and realized, “I actually forgot such an important thing just now.”
"what?"
"I want to study the process of a soul master's soul ring and soul power dissipating after his death."
Huo Yuhao looked at the corpses of the three Holy Spirit Sect members on the ground carefully.
"What a pity, I can't see anything anymore." He looked regretful.
After a while, the second holy spirit that had turned into a black skeleton suddenly stood up, and scarlet soul fire ignited in its eye sockets again.
"Wow—he's resurrected." Tian Meng was so frightened that he hid behind Bingdi.
The black skeleton looked around blankly, and when it faced the huge army of skeletons, it limped forward as if it had found its organization.
"Does this count as a transformation into a true undead creature?" Bingdi asked with a frown.
Yin Lex nodded.
"But his original soul has been burned out, and the soul that is reborn now is incomplete."
