Volume 42, Chapter 581: Fire Phoenix Transformation (1/2)

However, Zhongli Wu was unable to tell that Huo Yuhao was actually smiling under the Icy War God’s Armor. In fact, he was revealing a very satisfied smile.

He was smiling because this scenario was extremely similar to what he had experienced when he first tried to form his Yin Yang Complement soul cores! However, back then, it was a lot more dangerous than his current situation.

Even though this tornado was extremely powerful, it was probably nothing compared to what he had to go through when he tried to form his first soul core.

With the help of this tornado, he was improving his mastery over the icy storm he was forming with the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique. At the same time, he was gaining a better understanding of the element of air while he was being buffeted by the tornado.

This was no longer something that was within the realm of soul skills. It was a form of understanding that was required to create one’s own soul skills.

Even though Di Tian had never properly explained it to Huo Yuhao, he had gradually discovered the biggest benefit of the Yin Yang Complement soul cores from his past few battles.

The biggest benefit was comprehension!

It was an enhanced ability to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, and was not something that could be innately developed.

Heaven and earth were split into Yin and Yang. The formation of his Yin Yang soul cores allowed Huo Yuhao to observe and comprehend many things he could not even see in the past. These things included spatial power, elemental energy, and many other finer details.

Hence, even while he was fighting his opponents, he was able to sense the changes in some of these power around him, and gain a better comprehension of these powers, even though the others would not be able to do so.

Right now, he was appreciating the power of wind, as well as the secrets behind wind-type elemental energy.

These wind-type elements were being forcefully controlled. However, It was apparent that both Zhongli Wu and his beast spirit—the Bone Dragon King—were simply relying on soul power to control these elements. After all, the Bone Dragon King was but a beast spirit, and not an actual dragon which had mastered the secrets of the element of air. Even though the Bone Dragon King had the ability to generate wind, it was not able to fully appreciate the intricacies behind wind-type power. Otherwise, it would no longer be the Bone Dragon King. It would have been the Silver Dragon King itself.

Huo Yuhao was trying to sense the changes in the wind-type elements through his ice-type elements, as well as appreciate how gentle and agile the wind was.

This was a golden opportunity for him to improve his understanding of wind power. How else was he going to find so much wind-type elemental energy under normal circumstances?

As for the offensive power of the tornado, Huo Yuhao was not worried about it in the least. At the end of the day, Zhongli Wu was but a soul master, not a soul engineer. If a Class 9 soul engineer were to be the one attacking him instead, he would definitely not be using such a scattered form of attack.

Even though the tornado was strong, its energy was very scattered. It would be extremely difficult for it to penetrate the Icy War God’s Armor—a top-tier Class 9 soul tool. Furthermore, the Icy War God’s Armor was built for defense. The Divine Ice Crystals which were used to make the armor granted it immense defensive capabilities. On top of that, the wind from the tornado could not even be compared to Ma Xiaotao’s Ultimate Fire, which had been extremely destructive. Hence, the flickering light on Huo Yuhao’s Icy War God’s Armor was created intentionally by Huo Yuhao to dupe Zhongli Wu into believing that he was expending a lot of power to counter the tornado.

However, Zhongli Wu would not be duped that easily. After all, he had a wealth of battle experience. In less than half a minute, he realized that something was amiss. He started to realize that the color of his tornado was starting to change.

Its original green color was now infused with tinges of blue. This blue did not belong to his wind-type elements!

What was Huo Yuhao’s martial soul? His main martial soul was his Spirit Eyes. At every point in time, Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection was enshrouding the entire battlefield. He was immediately able to react the moment he discovered that Zhongli Wu’s aura was starting to change.

The extremely concentrated air current which was in his hand was suddenly released as it collided with the huge tornado. An unbelievable sight formed before everyone’s eyes.

The golden sun and blue moon which were behind Huo Yuhao suddenly fused together when the icy tornado he released collided with the huge tornado.

The gigantic tornado suddenly paused in the air before disintegrating into tiny tornadoes which scrambled in every possible direction. The huge cluster of wind-type element energy instantly broke free from Zhongli Wu’s control and scattered everywhere.

Zhongli Wu was extremely frustrated after seeing how Huo Yuhao destroyed his tornado. He felt as though he had stripped a copious amount of elemental energy from his body at that instant. On top of that, he did not seem to be hurt at all.

Zhongli Wu immediately recognized the problem at hand. Even though he was not aware of Huo Yuhao’s two soul cores, he was starting to sense that something wasn’t quite right.

The Bone Dragon King beneath his feet let out a low roar, following which, it tilted its humongous head upwards and released a green ball of light towards Huo Yuhao from its mouth.

This ball of green light was not big. It was only about the size of a human head. This made it seem very disproportionate when compared to the size of the Bone Dragon King.

Zhongli Wu pointed at the ball of green light with the staff in his hand as the soul rings on his body shone. Streaks of light landed on the ball of green light as the color of the ball became a lot darker.

When Huo Yuhao used his Spiritual Detection on the ball of light, he was instantly startled by what he detected.

Even though he didn’t know what Zhongli Wu’s move was called, he couldn’t help but shiver in fear. This sensation was extremely similar to what he had experienced when he first used his Spiritual Detection to analyze the decomposition cannon shell. There was an insane amount of wind-type elemental energy compressed within that tiny ball of light. Its power was definitely several times stronger than that of a decomposition cannon.

A streak of azure blue sword light descended from the sky and slashed accurately at the ball of light. Unparalleled Chill, Empress’ Sword.

The usually invincible Ultimate Ice was instantly pulverized the moment it came into contact with the ball of green light.

Pulverized? Even my ice-type elemental energy was pulverized? How can Zhongli Wu control such concentrated and volatile wind-type energy? He must have borrowed that power from the Silver Dragon King!

Very soon, the ball of green light was approaching Huo Yuhao. There was no way that he could use spatial power to evade the ball. After all, the surrounding space and void were already messed up by the violent and chaotic wind-type elemental energy. Huo Yuhao could not even use his Instant Teleportation.

Even the Icy War God’s Armor might not even be able to block this crazy ball of energy.

In that case, I shall do this then!

Huo Yuhao retracted his right first before punching it outwards!

A sneer formed on Zhongli Wu’s face.

This ball of green light was called Extreme Wind. It was the strongest attack he could muster with the wind-type elemental energy he could control. By condensing the wind-type elements to an extremely dense state, he could slice an entire mountain with his Extreme Wind.

Is he really planning to use his fist to block my Extreme Wind? I can’t believe he isn’t even using a soul skill to parry my attack.

However, the sneering expression on his face only lasted for a short while. At the very next instant, the ball of green light disappeared!

“What?! This is impossible.” Zhongli Wu almost leaped out and exclaimed in rage.

Even if Huo Yuhao was somehow able to survive after a humongous explosion, he would still be able to accept that as an outcome. However, the green ball had somehow vanished. This was something he could not accept.

That was a ball that contained incredibly violent and chaotic wind-type energy! How could it disappear just like this?

Of course, Huo Yuhao would not be telling him the answer. When he launched his fist, he was actually borrowing the effects of spatial power.
