FE—Chapter 107: I Decide to Transform
Huo Yuhao saw a small purple-bone dragon sticking its head out of the Gate of the Undead, slowly shaking its head at him. Huo Yuhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Hey, is this undead creature disdaining my low level of cultivation?"
"Don't pay attention to it. The Nether Bone Dragon cub was probably attracted and summoned because it smelled your blood."
Electrolux waved his hand and smiled gently. "Yuhao, this is your first time trying undead magic, and this undead demi-plane is a gift from me to you."
"When I was alive, I created the undead demi-plane. My original intention was to study summoning undead magic. To use the words of the Douluo Continent, it was to research a soul skill."
Electrolux fell into deep thought, as if recalling the various hardships and glorious years of his life, and sighed.
"Among the fragmented and broken memory fragments of this old man, the clearest undead disaster is based on summoning undead creatures in this plane."
Huo Yuhao nodded. The undead disaster was indeed very terrifying. The undead army, with its extremely powerful combat capabilities in the later period of Huo Yuhao in the original work, was summoned through the Gate of the Undead and played a pivotal role in turning the tide of war in large-scale conflicts multiple times.
"Initially, I left a total of thirteen undead creatures in this undead demi-plane. After thousands of years of reproduction, fighting, and evolution, I wonder how many powerful undead have been born here."
Electrolux laughed and continued, "From now on, as you continue to improve your skills in undead magic, you will become the master of the undead demi-plane, and all undead creatures in this world will be at your disposal."
"But look, Teacher Electrolux, this little Nether Bone Dragon seems to want to leave..." Huo Yuhao whispered. It wanted to run away as soon as it emerged, which was disrespectful to Teacher Electrolux and seemed to slap him in the face.
The little Nether Dragon felt that it wasn't the right time to come out and should wait until Huo Yuhao became stronger before emerging. At that moment, it wanted to go back and kick the skeleton out.
Before Huo Yuhao drew the bloodline, a skeleton was eager to be summoned.
Just as the skeleton was about to step out of the Undead Gate with a knife, the little bone dragon sensed a strong dragon breath and pushed the skeleton away with one claw, letting it take its place.
It thought the summoner would be a dragon giant, but upon checking, it found Huo Yuhao—a three-ring soul master.
It wanted to leave but couldn't let go of Huo Yuhao's powerful bloodline. Maybe in a decade or two, this summoner would become a powerful undead magician.
Huo Yuhao noticed its slight movement of taking a half step back and looked at Electrolux with his eyes. "Look, Teacher Electrolux, it seems that it doesn't want to be controlled by me. Our undead magic is no joke; it is challenging your authority."
"It's useless. Once I fully pass it on to you, it will be under your command." Electrolux glanced at the little bone dragon lightly, and the intense sense of undead energy in his eyes made the creature immediately stand at attention.
"This gray soul ring carries all the knowledge of undead magic and the undead magic structure I created. All permissions have been granted to you."
"In the future, you only need to continuously improve your mental power, and you will be able to use them freely."
After speaking, Electrolux's eyes filled with dead gray ripples, and a wisp of gray-white light slowly condensed, surrounding Huo Yuhao to form a gray soul ring.
Huo Yuhao connected with the gray soul ring and immediately sensed a connection with the little Nether Dragon. He looked at it and said calmly, "Take two steps and turn around."
The little Nether Dragon jumped twice, recognizing Huo Yuhao's bloodline. It looked at him with its big black eyes and then turned around at the Gate of the Undead.
Seeing this scene, Electrolux laughed and said, "Yuhao, its strength is at the level of a five-ring soul king according to Douluo, and the upper limit of its growth is extremely high."
"There is one thing you must remember. Undead magic is indeed powerful, especially for someone like me who cultivated to the level of a demigod before my death. I could even use the power of the undead to plunge the entire continent into turmoil."
"However, no matter how powerful the undead magician is when casting undead magic, he must use his vitality."
Electrolux told Huo Yuhao about the precautions so that he could learn from his experience.
He had transformed himself into a half-human, half-undead lich through a special magical ritual, but after using some overly powerful undead magic, his body gradually began to decay.
"But you have the Life Gold, which can perfectly avoid this defect. If you use undead magic within the tolerable range, Life Gold can restore you."
"If you want to use powerful undead magic frequently in the future, Yuhao, you'll need more refined vitality to maintain it. You can talk to the Silver Dragon King."
Huo Yuhao naturally knew that the Silver Dragon King had substantial knowledge in the field of life.
Not to mention she had been soaking in the Lake of Life for many years; it seemed she had become the Goddess of Life in the future.
Electrolux smiled happily. "Okay, Yuhao, get to know the world you will master."
"From now on, you can enter this demi-plane at any time. If there is any danger to your life, you can also enter it to avoid disaster."
Di Rachel asked curiously, "Senior Yi, can Yuhao and I stay in it forever, cultivate to the Title Douluo level, and then come out to showcase our skills on the mainland?"
"Haha, you little auspicious beast, you have a lot of ideas."
Electrolux smiled kindly. "Theoretically, it is possible, but once you go in, it's equivalent to Yuhao constantly using the Gate of the Undead, which will continuously consume vitality."
"If you think Yuhao is lucky and has endless vitality, I don't mind you two staying in there for a lifetime."
As he spoke, Electrolux's index finger pointed to the space in front of him again, and a gray hexagram pattern was outlined on the Gate of the Undead.
The hexagram array reflected under the feet of Huo Yuhao and his companions, and a strong gray halo rose again, enveloping the three of them.
With a flash of gray light, the three disappeared simultaneously.
The space produced a slight fluctuation, and the gray airflow connected with the Gate of the Undead.
This process was short, and soon, Huo Yuhao and his companions appeared in the undead demi-plane.
Di Rachel looked at it curiously. "Senior Yi, the plane you created is monotonous. There is not even a sky. Looking around, there is only gray mist on the ground."
Electrolux laughed. "Why create such a rich world for the survival of undead creatures?"
Electrolux pointed to a hill not far away. As they walked up the hill, large pieces of white skeletons turned their heads in unison, and green phosphorescent fire flickered in their eye sockets.
The number of skeleton soldiers, ghosts, death knights, etc. in the undead demi-plane is astonishing. Even the weakest skeleton soldiers can overwhelm several soul masters of the middle realm due to their huge tactical advantage.
Electrolux blocked his breath. Several skeletons noticed the presence of Huo Yuhao and others. After a slight shock, they immediately drew their knives and shields and launched a fearless charge toward them.
In addition to being summoned, any breath of life has a huge attraction for undead creatures. If they can devour the flesh and blood of soul masters, it will promote their evolution.
Especially with blood of high quality, undead creatures may reach the top of the food chain by constantly devouring.
Among the thirteen undead creatures left by Electrolux, this type of skeleton soldier is the weakest and easiest for novice undead masters to summon.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight skeletons with a little strength charged forward first, attacking Huo Yuhao and Di Rachel with their small weapons.
Most of these skeleton soldiers only have the strength of soul warriors, while the elite among them may have touched the threshold of a first-ring soul master.
Di Rachel did not need to use soul skills to deal with them. She swung the golden dragon spear horizontally, and the golden light flashed, shattering the skeleton soldiers into a pile of bones.
Huo Yuhao took out the Heavy Xuan Ruler from the ring and smashed the elite skeletons that rushed up first with several heavy blows.
After these skeletons were shattered, the soul fire that had been flickering in their eye sockets did not extinguish but instead flew up instantly, fleeing into the distance.
When Electrolux saw Di Rachel releasing the ultimate fire and Huo Yuhao using the chilling bone flame to extinguish their soul fire, he reminded them, "Yuhao, Rachel, their soul fire will return to the center of the plane, forming an energy cycle autonomously."
Hearing what Electrolux said, Huo Yuhao and Di Rachel dispersed the flames they were about to release.
Several continued to move forward in the undead demi-plane. An indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended, and a gray sun rose in the sky. A dragon-shaped shadow, sweeping across most of their vision, covered the earth, revealing the kingly presence of the Undead Demiplane.
The little Nether Dragon that Huo Yuhao had just summoned, squatting beside him, made an excited cry at the towering dragon creature.
Electrolux pondered for a moment. "It must be the most powerful creature in the Undead Demiplane. It is considered the king of the plane—the Nether Bone Dragon."
"In my opinion, it is almost as powerful as your soul master Super Douluo."
As he spoke, the Nether Bone Dragon, which covered most of the sky, spread its dragon wings and flew at full speed. The terrifying and powerful pressure descended upon Huo Yuhao.
The little Nether Dragon next to Huo Yuhao was so anxious that it kept shouting and conveying information, saying that it had been summoned.
The Nether Bone Dragon rushed over with tremendous momentum and was about to stretch out its huge bone claws to tear into the space where Huo Yuhao and the others were.
Electrolux released his shield, allowing his spiritual aura to flow out, and waved his hand at the Nether Bone Dragon, signaling it to return and rest.
The Nether Bone Dragon in the sky stopped instantly, and even the dragon-shaped shadow covering the earth halted its advance.
As the creator of the undead demi-plane, Electrolux was regarded as the god of creation in the eyes of all undead creatures, and they would never defy him, causing the Nether Bone Dragon to retreat.
Huo Yuhao tapped the little Nether Dragon beside him with his Heavy Xuan Ruler: "You should return as well. I will summon you next time I need you."
Electrolux released his aura, and no undead creature dared to take the initiative to attack. They turned around in the plane, witnessing the legendary backdrop of the magic undead disaster before leaving.
...
In the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life.
A tall woman in a long silver dragon-scale dress floated out of the Lake of Life, landing gracefully on the edge of the lake.
The woman was exceptionally tall; she was the real Silver Dragon King, temporarily transformed into a human form. Her figure created perfect curves, supported by her silver skirt.
She wore a simple silver dragon-patterned hair accessory on her head. Her long silver hair moved as if caught in a breeze, exuding an ethereal aura.
Di Tian, who was beside her, was surprised to see the master appear in this state. Previously, the Silver Dragon King had always communicated with him from under the Lake of Life.
Di Tian asked in confusion, "My Lord, the summoning technique performed by Huo Yuhao does not seem to be that of a regular soul master; rather, it resembles the so-called methods used by evil soul masters in the human world."
The Silver Dragon King glanced at him lightly and said calmly, "This time, I took action to demonstrate that Huo Yuhao's dragon bloodline is comparable to mine, and it may even slightly surpass my Silver Dragon King bloodline."
No matter what, she would not directly admit that Huo Yuhao was better than her.
"In addition to Huo Yuhao's bloodline, there is also the breath of divinity within him."
"That god, whom Huo Yuhao called Electrolux, although I perceive his consciousness as fragmented, it seems infused with the essence of death."
"It is estimated that his peak strength before his death was probably not weaker than the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King buried in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
Di Tian nodded slightly, not surprised by this revelation.
Given the extremely weak fluctuation of time and space at that time, the master told him there might be a divine presence. Additionally, when considering Huo Yuhao's Ancient Void Dragon bloodline, he felt that the appearance of Electrolux was not surprising.
"Master, will you succeed in accepting Huo Yuhao as your disciple?"
Di Tian was more concerned about this matter because, to bond Huo Yuhao with their soul beast lineage, there must be a certain contractual relationship between the Silver Dragon King and him.
The relationship between a master and a personal disciple is quite stable.
When the Silver Dragon King considered accepting Huo Yuhao as her disciple, a trace of anger appeared on her face, and she gritted her silver teeth.
"When I was at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I mentioned this request to him numerous times, but that guy always avoided it, claiming he already had a teacher, Electrolux. Is it that I am unworthy of being his teacher?"
The Silver Dragon King was infuriated; this time she had taken the initiative, but in return, Huo Yuhao simply made empty promises.
Di Tian asked softly, "Then my Lord, what should we do about this matter?"
"After all, he is a human. We can only find ways to increase trust between him and me. Perhaps Huo Yuhao will be willing to become my disciple."
"And how do we increase trust?"
Faced with this question, the Silver Dragon King recalled Gu Yuena's various experiences, thought seriously for a moment, and sighed.
"After I read the story in the light ball carefully, studied Gu Yuena's character flaws, and perfected myself, I will prepare to transform into a human to strive for a better future for our soul beasts."
