Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 141: Undead Golden Tortoise
"Undead Mage?" The Golden Tortoise was slightly puzzled. It was the first time it had heard this term. However, it is still remembered that Huo Yuhao said that by transforming into an undead, it could exist in this world for a longer time.
"Yes, Necromancer. You can simply understand it as an existence that is superior to an evil soul master."
Huo Yuhao pointed to the Gate of the Undead and said, "Step through this door with me, and I will help you become an undead. As I told you before, once you become an undead, your lifespan will no longer be a problem, and you won't face any heavenly tribulation."
To be honest, the undead demi-plane Electrolux provided to Huo Yuhao was filled with a large number of light-attributed undead. The most notable feature of this undead was their immunity to sacred attributes.
This significantly reduced the damage Ye Guyi could inflict on them in the original work. She couldn't even restore her soul power or improve her strength by killing the undead with light attributes.
Although this might sound unbelievable, it's not entirely unacceptable when considering Electrolux's former identity as the Son of Light.
The Golden Tortoise hesitated for a moment but finally chose to step through the dark gate of the undead with Huo Yuhao. After all, it didn't have much time left—at most ten years. What could it do in ten years?
Sometimes, the Golden Tortoise would take a nap, and ten years could pass in the blink of an eye.
Of course, it didn't need to worry about being attacked by other soul beasts while sleeping, because the Golden Tortoise clan itself had an auspicious aura, making them different from most soul beasts and essentially without natural enemies.
As if the world was spinning, in the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao and the Golden Tortoise arrived in another space.
The Golden Tortoise lifted its head, looked at the gray sky, and sensed the cold aura emanating from the undead demi-plane. It was stunned for a moment before its voice sharpened: "Is this another world? Your mastery of spatial power has reached such a level? Impossible— even Di Tian can't create a world like this alone!"
Huo Yuhao thought that the Golden Tortoise's perception of spatial power was almost on par with Di Tian's. In the original book, Di Tian could sense that this was a demi-plane upon first arrival.
He said, "Alright, be patient. This is something my teacher gave me. Strictly speaking, I didn't create it myself."
The Golden Tortoise was a little confused.
Teacher? What kind of teacher could achieve this? A god?
As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it naturally knew that many humans had become gods over the past ten thousand years. It also knew about the battles between gods. In its opinion, this kind of thing was likely created by a divine being.
If a person can worship a god as a teacher, doesn't that imply the other party has a high chance of becoming a god?
Thinking of this, the Golden Tortoise felt a surge of excitement. If the other party could become a god, then wouldn't he, as a "follower," be a subordinate of that god in the future?
"Alright, let's get started. Your body and soul can be transformed into an undead," Huo Yuhao said.
In the next moment, his eyes turned gray, and a staff appeared in his hand. A gray light emanated from the staff and enveloped the Golden Tortoise.
The Golden Tortoise had no objections. Its body was immediately covered with a layer of gray light. Soon, a flash of gray appeared in its eyes, and its body collapsed. After a moment, it stood up again.
"I feel like I'm dead. No, I'm dead—but not completely dead. Strange. Is this what an undead feels like?"
The soul of the Golden Tortoise floated out of its body. Its soul also resembled a golden tortoise, exuding an indescribable sacred majesty.
At this moment, its soul transformed into a ghost, and its body became zombie-like—similar to the undead Ice Bear King from the original work.
Moreover, the ghostly Golden Tortoise felt that it could control its body and command it to fight.
In the Spiritual Sea:
Electrolux looked at the scene and said, "The transformation was successful. From today onward, it's yours. Since the Golden Tortoise has an extremely strong defense, its defense will be even better after its body turns into an undead."
He continued, "As for its soul turning into a ghost, it's not particularly outstanding, but now you have a Title Douluo-level fighter. Honestly, if we only consider defense, the Golden Tortoise at this moment should be able to withstand an attack from a Super Douluo!"
"Thank you, Teacher, but I'm not very good at the undead," the Golden Tortoise said. "I have some new ideas."
"New ideas?"
"Yes. I think some undead should use soul guidance devices. These are devices driven by soul power. With the development of sealed milk bottle technology, even ordinary people can use some soul guidance devices. There's no reason why undead can't do the same. What undead lack is the wisdom to operate soul guidance devices."
The undead are tough and fearless, making them suitable as expendable units. If they could use soul guidance devices, their combat efficiency would be greatly improved.
"That's feasible," Electrolux considered. "If only you control the undead and give them orders, then they can indeed use sealed milk bottle technology and soul guidance devices. But this would be a heavy burden on you. You have strong spiritual power, unique soul skills, and inherited my undead magic. However, there's a limit to how many undead you can carefully control. It's impossible to control every undead perfectly."
"This involves making the undead more intelligent and capable of strengthening themselves. If that problem is solved, perhaps the undead could wield ninth-level fixed soul guidance shells and fight to the death with enemies!" Huo Yuhao smiled.
"Giving the undead wisdom and making them stronger on their own?" Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao. "Do you have a plan for this?"
Sun Moon Empire:
Ye Guyi was desperately trying to escape. Since revealing her Holy Angel Martial Soul, she had been relentlessly hunted by evil soul masters. This was undoubtedly bad news for her.
Although her holy angel martial soul could restrain evil soul masters and help improve her strength by killing them, she was currently too weak. Facing powerful evil soul masters of higher levels, she found it difficult to fight back.
So, to save her life, she could only keep fleeing.
There was also some good news. A group of soul masters, seemingly from nowhere, appeared to be helping her escape. She had some guesses about their identities. Those daring to confront evil soul masters must come from a major force.
She was ready to join this force and fight alongside them against the evil soul masters. She believed that any force committed to fighting evil soul masters would help save her life because her holy angel martial soul greatly restrained evil soul masters.
As she grew stronger, she believed she would become a nightmare for evil soul masters.
