Chapter 580: Lurking Action, Bloody Array
After learning about the suspicious movements of the Holy Spirit Empire, Xu Xingyu decided to personally lead an elite team to sneak into the core area of the Holy Spirit Empire for reconnaissance.
After careful consideration and discussion with the ministers in the military camp, Xu Xingyu quickly made a decision: the enemy's motives must be found out, especially the conspiracy behind their actions in the Mingdou Mountains.
The overall command of the military camp was temporarily given to Xu Jiujiu, while he himself was preparing for an infiltration operation.
He decided to lead Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, and several elite disciples from Qi Ling Tower and Shrek to secretly go to the castle of the Holy Spirit Empire in Mingdou Mountains.
In order to ensure the secrecy of the operation and avoid alerting the enemy, he personally designed a stealth route for the team.
On the day of departure, night fell, the starlight shone on everyone, and the blood moon in the sky gave people a feeling of uneasiness.
Under the cover of his mental power, the team quickly left the military camp and headed towards the Mingdou Mountains.
The Mingdou Mountains are steep and the mountains are continuous. Especially at night, the mountains are filled with fog and it is difficult to identify the direction. However, Xu Xingyu's mastery of the power of the stars allows him to easily find the right path in the dark.
Several people shuttled between the woods and cliffs, each step was steady and precise. They used their mental power to shield their whereabouts and avoid any possible enemy detection.
"According to the intelligence from our spies, the main base of the Holy Spirit Empire is in an ancient castle in the middle of the Mingdou Mountains," Xu Xingyu whispered to the team. "This is not only their strategic location, but also the key to their evil plan."
Ma Xiaotao responded softly: "The terrain of the mountain is complex, but we should be able to enter from the cliff on the east side, where the defense is relatively weak."
Buer chuckled during the spiritual communication and said, “But father, don’t forget that Huo Yuhao has the Rakshasa helmet. Even the Rakshasa armor lost by Ye Xishui may be in his hands. The resentment in the Mingdou Mountains is so strong that his perception will be greatly enhanced with the power of Rakshasa.”
"Because of this, we must be more careful," Xu Xingyu said with a firm look. He felt the changes in the surrounding environment and used his mental power to explore the surrounding situation. He knew very well that Huo Yuhao's current power was extraordinary. If he was not careful, the team might be wiped out.
It is true that he is already a god-level warrior, but due to the limitations of the assessment, the power he can exert now is only at the limit level. Therefore, theoretically, as long as he is attacked by hundreds of ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannons, even he will be dead.
I can only say that the feeling of having one's own power forcibly restricted is really uncomfortable.
I really hope that during this operation I can directly encounter an enemy who can free me from the restrictions of the divine test, so that I can vent the anger in my heart.
What Xu Xingyu didn’t know was that his wish would soon come true in this mission. One can only say that fate is really a magical thing.
After several hours of stealth, Xu Xingyu and his team finally arrived outside the castle of the Holy Spirit Empire in the Mingdou Mountains.
This castle is hidden deep in the mountains. It looks simple and eerie, and is surrounded by layers of magic arrays. Especially around the magic arrays, resentment is surging like black fog, which makes Xu Xingyu feel more alert.
Standing on the cliff and looking down at the castle, Xu Xingyu frowned.
He used his mental power to investigate and found that the number of vengeful spirits absorbed by the magic circle was extremely large, even far beyond common sense. "These vengeful spirits are not just from the soldiers who died in the war... There are simply too many of them."
"Logically speaking, even if the Mingdou Mountains have been a battlefield for a long time, the number of vengeful spirits should not be so high. It seems that their plan is more sinister than we thought."
Xu Xingyu realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately ordered a disciple in the team to take the intelligence back and inform the headquarters of the discovery. He then led the rest of the team to continue sneaking into the castle to explore deeper secrets.
Just as they were about to go deeper, a cold voice suddenly came from all around: "You are a guest, how can you hide like this?"
Under the gloomy sky of the Mingdou Mountains, Huo Yuhao coldly looked at the sneaking figures of Xu Xingyu and others. His tone was full of coldness and confidence: "You are a guest, how can you hide like this?"
Hearing this voice, Xu Xingyu stopped walking. He slowly raised his head and looked at the figure that appeared in front of him—Huo Yuhao, the current emperor of the Holy Spirit Empire.
However, what concerned him more was the strong fluctuation of divine power in Huo Yuhao's body. This was not just the power of the divine relics, but the aura of a truly god-level strong man.
Coupled with the Rakshasa God armor that exudes a cold aura on Huo Yuhao's body, there is no doubt that he has inherited the throne of the Rakshasa God.
"This is impossible..." Xu Xingyu's eyes flashed with doubt, "Rakshasa's throne should have been destroyed by Tang San long ago, how could it reappear?"
Huo Yuhao’s voice rang out again, with mockery and endless resentment: “Yes, the Rakshasa throne was destroyed, but it’s all thanks to you, Xu Xingyu! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have obtained this power.” As he spoke, he waved the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in his hand, and the resentment around him began to condense, as if the entire mountain range was crying.
Xu Xingyu frowned slightly. He realized that Huo Yuhao's power was far more powerful and dangerous than before. Especially in terms of emotions, the character of the child of destiny in the original work seemed to have become more extreme. "What do you want to say?" he asked coldly.
Huo Yuhao raised his head and laughed, with a bit of madness in his laughter: "You have always been my target, but you have never really understood my hatred. I thought I hated Dai Huabin and Dai Hao. I thought it was you and Xu Xingyu, the geniuses who had always been above me!"
Huo Yuhao’s eyes became distorted. “But later, I understood that the real hatred comes from the oppression of this world. I want to destroy this world full of oppression and reshape a new world with resentment!”
"This hatred made me accepted by the helmet left by the previous Rakshasa God. After I dealt with the evil-eyed tyrant, Old Deng, the Rakshasa armor and the Rakshasa sickle also quickly accepted me."
"The last three relics of the Rakshasa God all acknowledged me, and the Rakshasa Godhead of the Power Journey also naturally acknowledged me."
"The problem is that since it has been broken for ten thousand years, the power of the Rakshasa Godhead has become extremely weak, and even the original God Examination program has been broken. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem."
"Xu Xingyu, you may not know that the biochemical weapon that blew up Mingdu was actually designed by me, and the drug that turned people into evil souls was extracted from my blood. People who are transformed into evil soul masters by me will be 100% loyal to me. Although the soul guide version will not be 100% loyal, their hearts will definitely be like being hinted and will lean towards me."
"On the day I awakened my ability as an evil spirit master, I discovered that my spirit had the ability to infect other people and turn their spirits into evil spirits. With my spirit master talent, I designed those evil spirit bombs and turned the entire Sun-Moon Empire into our Holy Spirit Empire!"
"Replenishing the power of the Rakshasa Godhead requires a large amount of resentful power. The Sun-Moon Empire, which suffered from the evil soul bomb, is now the Holy Spirit Empire, but these resentful souls alone are not enough."
"So I also invested a large number of new evil soul masters as sacrifices. Finally, with my efforts, the Rakshasa throne was finally repaired!"
"I want to thank you, Xu Xingyu. It's you who made me realize what I hate and gave me the possibility to obtain the Rakshasa God!"
"As for how I can thank you? I will bury you here and let you feel the humiliation I suffered that year!!!"
