Chapter 1091 The Shattered Truth
Huo Yuhao had not expected such a scene to unfold.
Isn't this the temple of the sea god?
Isn't this skeleton a follower of the sea god, or rather an intruder?
That's not right! The armor fragments show they're from the same faction!
Although Huo Yuhao didn't know why the longsword skeleton was doing this, it concerned a god's temple, and he had to stop the longsword skeleton.
What if the statue of the sea god is destroyed, and he really sensed it?
Statues of deities that have been worshipped and offered sacrifices for a long time may indeed have developed a connection with the deities!
Necromantic magic surged forth, quickly taking control of the longsword-wielding skeleton's movements.
Huo Yuhao looked in alarm at the distance between himself and the Poseidon statue, which was only a fist's width away.
If that sword strikes, the huge head of the sea god statue will be gone.
It's like a red watermelon being cut in half.
"What's going on?!"
Huo Yuhao manipulated the longsword skeleton to move further away from the Poseidon statue.
But this time, the will left inside the longsword skeleton became exceptionally strong and was rapidly dissipating.
"what?"
Huo Yuhao would not allow the remaining will of the longsword skeleton to break free of his control.
However, he could sense the longsword-wielding skeleton's hatred.
Hatred as fierce as a vengeful spirit.
Or rather, if the longsword skeleton so desires, it can transform into a vengeful spirit.
Huo Yuhao looked at the tattered armor on the longsword-wielding skeleton and fell silent.
This is clearly the same armor as the group of soldiers lying at the gate, which means that the longsword-wielding skeleton is also a guardian of the Temple of the Sea God.
Why raise a sword against the gods?
Huo Yuhao decided to release the will of the longsword skeleton, because the will of the longsword skeleton was already fading away at an accelerated pace, and it would completely dissipate within this short time.
Tell me, who you are, and why your will is filled with hatred!
Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with a gray light, and a chilling aura erupted from him.
At this moment, he is the undead lord who rules over all undead creatures.
The faint light in the longsword skull's eyes shattered completely, replaced by a small, fragmented soul that Huo Yuhao held in his hand.
"Clatter"
The longsword-wielding skeleton fell to the ground, and his soul, which had been trapped in the nameless realm for countless years, vanished in that instant.
Huo Yuhao seemed to hear a long, leisurely sigh beside him, which seemed to be a sense of relief, or perhaps disappointment.
This left him somewhat dazed.
The shattered soul transformed into a stream of air and merged into Huo Yuhao's body.
In an instant, fragmented images flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind.
It was a magnificent temple, where a large number of believers would worship in front of the sea god statue every day, and the incense was always burning brightly.
Men and women clad in armor took pride in their status as guardians of the sea god's temple.
Tridents clashed, and the guards trained hard. The spirit rings that appeared were all deep blue!
Huo Yuhao was very puzzled when he saw this.
A deep blue spirit ring?
Could it be that, like me, they accepted the sacrifice of a soul beast that was over 100,000 years old?
Or did they hunt down a special sea spirit beast?
Huo Yuhao then continued to observe from the perspective of the longsword-wielding skeleton.
This place used to be a small town where believers lived a prosperous life, even hunting and living with some sea spirit beasts.
This idyllic scene gradually captivated Huo Yuhao.
Yes, that's the kind of world he wants to achieve, so the art of the soul will definitely be promoted.
But then the scene suddenly flashed, and Huo Yuhao saw the longsword-wielding skeleton fighting desperately.
The enemies included bizarre monsters and humanoid creatures, all of which came from the depths of the sea.
They all come up from the deep sea.
"What kind of creatures are these?"
Huo Yuhao frowned deeply; he had never seen these creatures in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia.
And these creatures gave him a sense of terror and evil.
Those evil creatures waged war directly against the Temple of the Sea God.
The guardians of the Temple of Poseidon fight against evil creatures, and many guardians perish at sea.
"Sea God! Please grant us your blessings!"
Huo Yuhao saw the priests of the Sea God Temple kneeling before the statue of the Sea God, praying incessantly.
Blue light surged from the sea and entered the bodies of the guards. Huo Yuhao guessed that this might be the so-called blessing from the gods.
The guardians, now blessed, had a greater chance of winning.
However, there are too many evil creatures, and new species are constantly emerging.
The guards' defenses quickly crumbled, but the priests did not retreat. Instead, they personally led the remaining guards in continuous battles against the evil creatures.
The Temple of Poseidon paid a heavy price for a temporary victory, and the longsword skeleton was one of the surviving guardians.
However, the evil creatures merely retreated into the deep sea, waiting for their chance to return. Evil creatures similar to the Vanguard Reconnaissance Guard continued to emerge from the deep sea.
The sea god's duty is to protect the sea, and his temples are naturally responsible for guarding the sea as well.
However, the number of believers is decreasing day by day, while the number of vanguards of evil creatures is increasing.
Finally, the sea god priest pleaded with the sea god statue to evacuate the children from the town to preserve their bloodline.
However, the longsword skeleton's memory fragments were interrupted.
The story that Huo Yuhao could see continued was that the Sea God Temple was glowing and then rapidly sinking.
The longsword-wielding skeleton's perspective is filled with desperate struggle.
Then one after another, evil creatures surged forward.
The longsword-wielding skull's memory fragments end with the moment the sea god statue stops shining.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of frustration.
The entire temple of the sea god was sacrificed to stop the monster that rushed up from the abyss.
But the price paid seems to be the lives of all the temple's inhabitants.
"Is this the price to pay?"
The memory fragments of the longsword skeleton end here.
Huo Yuhao was still in shock.
Evil creatures of the deep sea, the demise of sea god sacrifices.
When Huo Yuhao came to his senses, he realized that the sea god statue seemed to be staring at him.
Suddenly, the main hall fell silent.
Huo Yuhao forced himself to look away. He was just a passerby and didn't care about what had happened in this temple. He was only here to find the Nautilus.
"All the helplessness in this world has its reasons, and it has nothing to do with me."
Huo Yuhao floated closer to the statue holding the Nautilus and communicated with it using the power of destiny.
Sensing the power of fate, the Nautilus's originally whitish shell suddenly trembled, and then became even more iridescent.
The latest novel is first published here!
"There's hope!"
Huo Yuhao was overjoyed and immediately increased the output of his Destiny Power.
The Nautilus continued to vibrate and soon broke free from the statue's grasp, drifting towards Huo Yuhao.
"Finally found it!"
Huo Yuhao was overjoyed and reached out to take the Nautilus.
As a result, the nautilus came up empty-handed.
It passed through Huo Yuhao's spiritual body.
"Huh? Why can't we put it away?"
Huo Yuhao looked at his palm in confusion. The palm, which was made of spiritual power, was no different from his normal body, except that he could not drip blood to identify the divine artifact.
"That's right! I'm a mental clone now!"
The Nautilus is drawn by the power of fate, at most it is just a lead, and it would be very difficult for Huo Yuhao to bind the Nautilus with his mental power.
First of all, this is something from who-knows-how-many years ago, and it's unknown whether it has been damaged over this long period of time.
If there is any damage, the huge mental effort spent will directly backfire.
Secondly, and most importantly, it is unknown whether the Nautilus, during the temple's former glory, received offerings and incense from believers, or whether it acquired or developed any divinity, but it certainly transcended the mundane world.
Furthermore, it possesses extraordinary abilities.
This means that Huo Yuhao would need to expend unimaginable mental energy to achieve the method of recognizing a master through spiritual power.
His current mental strength is very high, having reached the third realm, but it is far from enough to make a Nautilus conch, which is suspected to be a semi-divine artifact, recognize him as its master.
Of course, Huo Yuhao's trip wasn't in vain.
The blood oath ceremony is the simplest way, which requires Huo Yuhao's physical body to descend into the Sea God Temple.
This worried Huo Yuhao. Was there any hidden mechanisms inside the Sea God Temple?
I drifted in myself, and along the way I saw quite a few passages that looked like traps.
We can't have come all this way for nothing.
The things I've been waiting for are finally here.
Huo Yuhao immediately decided to enter with his physical body.
But before that, he needs to find a way out from within.
The entire temple of Poseidon is surrounded by a layer of crystal-clear ice.
That might be the last line of defense for the Temple of Poseidon.
But why would a temple dedicated to Poseidon be located so deep underground in this far north?
Currently unknown.
Huo Yuhao looked around and noticed something behind the sea god statue.
He looked up at the sea god statue, which still seemed to be staring at him.
"Don't be surprised if it's strange..."
Huo Yuhao mustered his courage and floated over, keeping a safe distance from the sea god statue.
Behind the Neptune statue is a wall covered with murals.
Beneath the mural lay a half-reclining skeleton, its left breastplate completely shattered, revealing a large hole, seemingly from a blown-out heart.
But what caught Huo Yuhao's attention was that the helmet on the skull was engraved with a trident symbol, and beneath the broken armor, a robe resembling that of a priest was revealed.
This skeleton must have been of very high status.
A golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. If the soul of this skeleton still remained, it would be a remnant soul.
It can also be imbued with necromancy and come to life.
He needs to know the information here.
Huo Yuhao glanced back at the sea god statue, and after confirming that the statue would not turn around, he began to cast necromancy again.
A hazy gray halo gradually descended upon the skull's head, and a faint wisp of soul fire suddenly ignited in the skull's eyes.
Although the soul fire was as weak as a fingernail, the feedback it gave Huo Yuhao was like a miniature sun.
"He's strong!"
Huo Yuhao instinctively tried to immediately disconnect the necromancy.
Although the soul fire of this skeleton was incomplete, it was still as scorching as the sun.
They are titled Douluo, no, Super Douluo or even higher level experts!
"Who woke me up?"
The skeleton slowly rose to its feet, its aura gradually increasing until it surpassed Huo Yuhao's perception.
The next moment, the skeleton slowly looked at Huo Yuhao, its aura locking onto him.
"It's you, little guy. Not bad at all!"
Huo Yuhao "..."
