Huo Yuhao looked at Du Busi with a faint smile. After so many years of development, the Body Sect had at most a dozen or so Titled Douluo. The Skydream Iceworm took out one, the Ten Thousand Demon King killed a few in the Extreme North, a few more were torn apart by fierce beasts during the hunt for the Auspicious Beast, and he had just casually finished off four. If their only remaining Super Douluo were to be added to that list, the Body Sect's upper echelon would probably be empty—
"Huo Yuhao, can we have a word?" Du Busi was very wary of the Snow Empress. He took a few steps back, clasped his fists towards Huo Yuhao from a distance, and said in a deep voice.
The Snow Empress's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she stood between the two, ready to strike at any moment.
"Haha, Body Douluo, if you have something to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush? With our statuses, we can discuss things openly." How could Huo Yuhao give him a chance to get close? His spiritual power might be unparalleled among humans, but his current physical strength couldn't defend against a sneak attack from Du Busi. He wasn't foolish enough to put himself in a dangerous situation.
Hearing this, Du Busi fell silent for a moment, then stared at him intently and praised, "The Demon King truly lives up to his name, leaving no opportunities for others to exploit, displaying the demeanor of a true king."
"Not at all, not at all. Compared to your sect's young master's flawless execution, this king is still far behind." Huo Yuhao chuckled, but the long blade in his hand moved a little closer to Golden Body Douluo's brow.
His meaning was clear. If Du Busi had only come to trade sarcastic remarks and verbal jabs, he would not show any mercy to Golden Body Douluo.
"The seed of my sect's body inheritance, is it on your person?" Du Busi suddenly asked.
"Ah, you mean this?" Huo Yuhao drew out a ball of light that was attached to his body, held it in his palm, and then casually tossed it towards Du Busi.
Du Busi caught the ball of light with a look of astonishment. He had thought that he would probably have to pay some price to get the seed of inheritance back, but he didn't expect Huo Yuhao to not care about it at all, tossing it back as if he were throwing away a piece of junk.
It was a joke. Huo Yuhao's Evil Eye had evolved at least twice, far surpassing the limits of the Body Sect's secret inheritance method. He had no interest in the Body Sect's inheritance, so this thing was useless in his hands. He also didn't need the Body Sect to pay him any price, since he could just wipe them out and be done with it.
Du Busi looked at the ball of light in his hand. This was the body inheritance left behind by a Body Sect ancestor who had achieved the level of a quasi-god. Countless genius disciples in the sect had fought desperately for this inheritance, and in the end, Cao Jinxuan had finally obtained it after great difficulty in defeating Long Aotian. He hadn't expected it to be considered nothing in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
That's right, he couldn't even tell what level Huo Yuhao's eye martial soul had awakened to. He certainly had no use for this seed of inheritance. How could Huo Yuhao's talent be compared to that of his normal peers?
The current fifteen- and sixteen-year-old genius disciples of the Body Sect, hailed as the golden generation, were still striving to break through to the Soul King and Soul Emperor realms, while Huo Yuhao had already leveled Shrek, which was home to an Ultimate Douluo and a group of Super Douluo, three years ago.
The gap between them was undeniably massive.
Du Busi's face struggled for a long time. He suddenly threw the ball of light in his hand towards Huo Yuhao.
"Sect Master Du, what is the meaning of this?" Huo Yuhao caught the seed of body inheritance and asked with surprise.
"The body inheritance can only shine its brightest in the hands of the person with the most outstanding body martial soul talent on the continent today." Du Busi said with a bitter smile. "This old man has come here this time with only one question for the Demon King."
Huo Yuhao gave him a deep look, already faintly guessing what Du Busi was probably going to say next.
"This old man is willing to place the Body Sect under the Demon King's command. I only ask that the Demon King spares the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked!
The current Sect Master of the Body Sect was actually surrendering to the Demon King Huo Yuhao and begging for mercy?
Those generals of the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family were immediately displeased. They couldn't help but jump out and clamor, "Sect Master Du, there is no need to be submissive! The Demon King Huo Yuhao has only come with two or three people to support them. Once we lead our army to swarm them, we will surely annihilate this world-plaguing demon and the remnants of the rebellion!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these people uttered their harsh words, Huo Yuhao just gave them a faint glance, and that overwhelming spiritual pressure turned into a sharp spiritual shock, directly exploding several of their heads.
Du Busi sighed inwardly. If this Huo Yuhao could be defeated by manpower, he would have long since united all the Titled Douluo in the country to attack him. He was well aware of how miserably the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En, had been beaten. If Huo Yuhao were to conjure that giant Buddha here again, to say nothing of anything else, if he just drove that thing all the way to Heaven Dou City, the entire geography of the Heavenly Soul Empire would have to be changed.
Before personally observing the battle on-site, he never believed that a combatant's power increased with their size, until he saw that behemoth, which could level the entire continent in a day, lying quietly in the ruins.
"Sect Master Du, this king has a question that I hope you can answer for me." After casually finishing off those clamoring generals, Huo Yuhao turned around again with a smile and said to Du Busi.
"Oh? That would be this old man's honor. Demon King, please speak your mind." Du Busi put his hands behind his back and flattered Huo Yuhao.
"The so-called Heavenly Soul Empire is the nation of the Heavenly Soul imperial nobles, the nation of the Xie Long rebel army, and also the nation of the common people of Heavenly Soul. Am I correct in what I say?"
Hearing this, Du Busi's face finally, slowly, turned grim. His expression was cold, and a sharp aura slowly emerged. "Is the Demon King intent on subverting the political power of this country?"
"Hahahaha? Subvert?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Sect Master Du Busi, you are mistaken! The country inherently belongs to the common people, to all living beings on the continent. Is the reason for Marshal Xie Long's rebellion not clear enough to Sect Master Du?"
"The nobility is in power, the imperial authority is revered. These people are high and mighty, disregarding the poverty of the people, arbitrarily collecting taxes and forcibly conscripting labor, causing a chorus of grievances throughout the country. The people live in dire straits! Marshal Xie Long sought justice for the people and was framed, only then did he embark on this campaign for the sake of the common folk!"
"You so-called guardian sects are nothing more than the running dogs of the imperial nobles. What face do you have to negotiate terms with me?"
As Huo Yuhao spoke, his aura steadily rose, and the earth beneath him began to tremble.
"This world needs a revolution! A revolution against these princes and nobles that you protect! I will abolish the imperial powers of these empires one by one and return a bright and clear world to the common people and the suffering masses!"
Before his voice had even faded, Du Busi's face finally showed a look of determination. A brilliant green light erupted from his body, which began to expand continuously. His entire person, like a cannonball, shot towards Huo Yuhao.
The Snow Empress had long been watching his every move. Du Busi's determined action instantly made her expression turn solemn. How could she not feel the violent aura emanating from Du Busi's entire body?
"Self-destruction?" Huo Yuhao's face remained as calm as water. He raised two fingers in front of him to form a hand sign.
"Right now, I am the strongest in the world!"
The protagonist's goal has finally come to the surface. In his current state, he is indeed capable of achieving these things. The only thing standing in his way now is the divine authority that upholds the feudal rule.
