Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 240: An Unusual Operation

Wait, a god? Huo Yuhao suddenly understood. It was said that Mu En could communicate with the Golden Tree and unleash the Light of the Sea God.

The original story didn't specifically describe the effects of the Light of the Sea God, only that it could temper the physique when exposed to it for a long time during the Seven Gods' trials.

The Light of the Sea God was also used later when Xiao Wu was resurrected.

But since it was related to a god, the Light of the Sea God should be more than enough for a Soul Master. Moreover, since it was divine light, it wasn't strange that it could purify a martial soul.

This blue-gold light was so extraordinary that Huo Yuhao couldn't think of any other explanation besides the Light of the Sea God. After all, Undying Poison was an Ultimate Douluo, the pinnacle of Soul Masters. Only gods were stronger than him.

The Dragon Pill and the white little dragon were retrieved by Mu En, while the purified flame floated quietly in place, as if it had become an inanimate object.

Looking at the golden-red flame, Ma Xiaotao's eyes flashed with determination. She thought of the conversation she had with Elder Mu that morning.

"Xiaotao, my child, you have two choices now. First, I can use the Light of the Sea God to cleanse your body and martial soul, returning them to their previous state, or even directly remove the evil fire. But the result of this is that your martial soul will become weaker, and the flame will no longer be the ultimate fire, perhaps not even as good as before. But this method is the safest."

"Grandmaster, what about the second choice?" Ma Xiaotao didn't even think about it. How could she, with her strong personality, allow herself to become weaker? She couldn't accept it.

The saying 'it's easy to go from simple to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple' is exactly the point.

Mu En seemed to have guessed that she wouldn't choose the first option and continued, "The second choice is to gamble big, to drive out the wolf and devour the tiger, to be reborn from the ashes."

Ma Xiaotao: "Grandmaster, I don't quite understand. Can you explain it in detail?"

"The second method is that I will separate the source fire from your martial soul and purify it separately with the Light of the Sea God. The advantage of this is that it can ensure that the flame is still the ultimate fire. After purification, you will then use your equally purified martial soul to devour this flame."

"At this time, your martial soul will have degenerated, and devouring an ultimate-level flame martial soul will inevitably lead to it being burned to ashes. The next step is the most important: Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes."

"During this process, you must maintain clarity of mind and not have any distracting thoughts. If you survive, you will be even stronger than before. If you don't survive, it will be an abyss of despair. Child, you must think carefully."

"Grandmaster, I've thought it through. I'll choose the second one." Ma Xiaotao hardly hesitated. Phoenix Nirvana and rebirth? She knew that her teacher had such an ability. Since her teacher could do it, she could definitely do it too.

"Good, good, good." Mu En smiled with relief, saying 'good' three times in a row. "You must stay awake during the Nirvana process. That's also why I asked Shaozhe to invite that kid from the Body Sect. His domain can help people maintain clarity of mind, which should be helpful to you."

"Thank you, Grandmaster." Ma Xiaotao thanked him respectfully. Although she hated Huo Yuhao, she had personally experienced the effect of Huo Yuhao's domain before, and she felt a little more confident.

One scene after another flashed through her mind like a slideshow. She had always had a smooth journey, but Huo Yuhao had made her taste the bitterness of defeat. She didn't want to experience that helplessness again.

Yan Shaozhe, Mu En, Zhang Lexuan, and Elder Zhuang all held their breaths, silently praying for Ma Xiaotao's success. It had to succeed, it absolutely had to succeed.

"Ah!"

In the end, ten thousand grievances and persistence turned into a sharp cry.

Huo Yuhao was startled by the sudden scream, thinking to himself, 'Do you think you're Hua Qiangu? A loud shout will awaken the power of the ancient world?'

However, a melodramatic twist happened. The flames that had burned the phoenix's body suddenly surged, rising more than ten meters high. The flames spread out, covering hundreds of meters.

"Chirp."

The huge flames soared into the sky, and a clear phoenix cry burst out. The dazzling phoenix flames cut through the red mist, almost illuminating the entire space. As it rose, the flames gradually faded, revealing a huge figure.

A fire-red bird soared in the air. The dazzling fire-red tail feathers and perfect body all showed the majesty of the king of birds.

Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes. What a Mu En, what a Ma Xiaotao, what great courage. At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally understood Mu En's intention.

Logically speaking, Mu En, who had comprehended the Light of the Sea God, could have removed the evil fire from Ma Xiaotao's martial soul before, but he didn't do so because the evil fire was Ma Xiaotao's most important and powerful ability. Once removed, Ma Xiaotao's strength would be greatly reduced.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. That's the principle.

But now, Mu En forced out Ma Xiaotao's source evil fire, purified the evil energy within it, and then allowed Ma Xiaotao to devour and fuse with it. This was a win-win situation, not only removing the evil energy from the martial soul, but also preserving the ultimate fire. Although this ultimate fire was still weakened somewhat, it was still the ultimate fire.

The most important things in the whole process were the Light of the Sea God and the Demon Severing Domain.

The Light of the Sea God purified the evil energy of the martial soul. Like the Holy Angel Ye Guyi that Huo Yuhao had encountered before, she had the innate ability to purify. But if Ye Guyi were to purify it, there was no doubt that although Ma Xiaotao's evil fire would be purified of its evil energy, it would definitely be beaten back to its original form, perhaps even worse than before. As for the ultimate fire, don't even think about it.

The Light of the Sea God was different. It could allow the martial soul to retain the ultimate fire even after purification. This alone was worthy of the word 'god'.

The Demon Severing Domain could keep Ma Xiaotao in a clear and calm state at all times, because this treatment could not be separated from her own cooperation. At the most critical moment, she needed to control her martial soul to devour the ultimate-level flame, which no one could replace.

Elder Zhuang of the Life God Tree also made a great contribution. If she hadn't been frantically replenishing blood from the side, Ma Xiaotao would have collapsed long ago due to the backlash of her martial soul.

One link after another, interlocked with each other, the whole process had been planned long ago.

Huo Yuhao looked at Mu En, and a trace of admiration arose in his heart. This Ultimate Douluo was indeed a remarkable figure, with courage, boldness, and ruthlessness.
