In Mu Ye's perception, being in Huo Yuhao's domain, his entire body was enveloped by an aura of death, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength. Without the protection of soul power and mental power, he even had a premonition that his life force and soul would be stripped away.
Moreover, the stripping of life force and soul might not be the end. The gray mist seemed to want to transform him into another form of life.
"Isn't this the ability of an evil soul master?"
Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was calmly closing his eyes and meditating, Mu Ye was momentarily speechless.
If it weren't for the fact that evil soul masters could now walk freely in the outside world, he would have wanted to remind Huo Yuhao not to use this domain in future battles.
While Mu Ye was lost in thought, Huo Yuhao was meditating on the various changes brought by his second awakening.
Having been an undead creature for ten thousand years, he naturally had an understanding of the essence of undead energy and the corresponding laws.
Before his re-cultivation, those essences were suppressed within his body by him and Elder Yi, so they didn't affect his two martial souls.
Now, due to the secret technique of the Body Sect, they were mobilized in the form of innate energy to assist him in his second awakening.
However, although the second awakening of his Spirit Eyes was completed, the subsequent changes were beyond Huo Yuhao's expectations.
Perhaps influenced by the method of the second awakening, he had obtained a domain that should not have been born.
Similar to the Slaughter God Domain, the attributes of his martial soul hadn't changed, but this domain was directly engraved on his Spirit Eyes martial soul during the process of his second awakening.
"The Netherworld Reincarnation Domain?"
This was the domain that Huo Yuhao thought was closest to the essence of this domain.
Living beings within the domain would continuously be eroded by the gray mist of death, consuming their soul power and mental power until they died.
Once their soul and life force were completely devoured by the death mist, they would be transformed into undead creatures under his control, existing within the domain and summoned at his will.
The devoured souls and life force could be converted into mental power and soul power to feed back to him, enhancing himself as well as the strength of the undead creatures within the domain.
Leading minions, applying suppression, and devouring, it was very similar to the Netherworld Reincarnation Domain.
It was a standard, textbook configuration for an evil soul master, and it was a domain that could grow... making it top-tier even among domains.
It felt like the best domain skill to deal with the Abyss. Would the plane intervene?
Otherwise, why would it resemble that person's domain so much...
"This domain seems to be a fusion of various necromantic spells. Withering, Undead Transformation, Life Drain, etc. It can be seen as the crystallization of your understanding of necromantic magic and the laws of death."
Elder Yi, who was in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, pondered for a moment after hearing Huo Yuhao share his gains, then smiled and said, "It's not very surprising. If you hadn't suppressed those undead essences, you could have become the first true triple martial soul possessor in history."
"But even though you suppressed that essence, it still exists. Now, through the innate energy of your second awakening, it's equivalent to integrating the undead martial soul essence into the Spirit Eyes, allowing it to evolve while gaining a portion of its power."
With Huo Yuhao's ten-thousand-year foundation, if he had truly wanted to, he could have manifested the Spirit Eyes, Ice Empress, and Undead as three martial souls. However, Huo Yuhao chose to keep the undead martial soul essence and not awaken it.
After all, Huo Yuhao didn't need a martial soul to use necromantic magic. Having an additional undead martial soul wouldn't be of much use, so it was better to keep it as a foundation for elevating his martial souls.
This second awakening, in a sense, was the fusion of the two martial souls, with the Spirit Eyes martial soul devouring the essence of the other martial soul to ascend. That's why, on the basis of the Body Sect's second awakening, a domain was added.
"However, this kind of devouring ability should not be used frequently, except when facing enemies like the Abyss. Don't lose your true self," Elder Yi reminded.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Since you don't approve, I naturally won't embarrass you."
Abilities like Life Drain were, of course, within Elder Yi's grasp. At a certain level of necromantic magic, some things could be understood by analogy. The Death Saint Necromancer martial soul could only contain a limited amount of power, far from representing all of Elder Yi's abilities.
Beside them, Tianmeng asked with interest, "By the way, what should this domain be called? Undead Domain? Death God Domain?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Underworld King Domain."
After all, it was too similar to that person's domain, so he might as well borrow his title. In the future, he might even be able to use this domain to borrow his identity.
Speaking of which, it seemed like he could borrow quite a few identities?
The Dragon God, the Sea God, the Underworld King... he could probably try to impersonate them all.
...
After meditating for a while, Huo Yuhao thought of Mu Ye, who was still enduring the erosion of the domain outside, and quickly retracted the domain, opening his eyes.
Mu Ye, who had been watching him, quickly approached. He felt that the boy's appearance had changed slightly, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he directly looked into Huo Yuhao's gray eyes, and his steps suddenly halted.
What kind of eyes were those!
The originally lively eye color had completely turned into a deep gray, with a swirling chaos deep within the pupils. Just an unconscious glance made Mu Ye feel as if his soul had been completely pierced, about to be drawn into them...
Mu Ye took a deep breath and didn't move closer. Instead, he asked with burning eyes, "Besides the domain, are there any other significant changes?"
"Yes."
Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, and three purple soul rings appeared around him. Under his control, his spiritual sea began to surge, and a oppressive aura spread outward from him. A phantom vertical eye appeared behind him, and his entire aura suddenly surged.
Mu Ye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Good! I originally thought your second awakening was of the non-Body Sect martial soul type. I didn't expect it to be both. Good, very good!"
When he first saw Huo Yuhao's second awakening creating a domain, he thought it was because of the special innate energy, turning it into something similar to the Blue Silver Grass awakening into the Blue Silver Emperor. He didn't expect it to be both.
Not only had the martial soul ascended to the level of a super martial soul, but it had also gained a powerful domain and the silver-level second awakening of the Body Sect martial soul, allowing for a temporary burst of strength.
This was probably the most significant second awakening in history, right?
Indeed, taking him in was the greatest harvest of his life!
After a moment of excitement, Mu Ye suppressed his emotions and said, "Now that the second awakening is complete, rest well tonight. We'll return to East Sea City tomorrow. Your friends are getting impatient."
"Yes, thank you, teacher."
Huo Yuhao nodded, thinking of Gu Yuena, Xie Xie, and the others who had been messaging him these past few days. He smiled slightly and looked in the direction of the Deep Sea Abyss.
Before returning, he should set up a tombstone here.
The Sea God's divine seat had fallen here. Setting up the Golden Dragon King's tombstone here would probably make him very happy, right?
...
While Huo Yuhao was undergoing his second awakening, Shen Ying spent a long time going through the procedures to finally get the two students out.
By then, the assessment time had long since ended. Looking at the two students in front of her, Ning Yue, who was bowing her head and awaiting punishment, and Yu Longheng, who remained expressionless, Shen Ying sighed silently.
