"Spatial Power!" Jing Hongchen couldn't sit still. He was well aware of what that meant. According to Kong Deming, one of the main reasons why Di Tian was the strongest soul beast on the continent was because of his deep understanding of spatial power. Mastering space was extremely difficult. Even among humans, those who could grasp spatial abilities were few and far between. No matter how much humans comprehended space, in the end, they would all perish in their short lifespans. Even Limit Douluo had lifespans far shorter than some of the more ancient soul beasts. But soul beasts were different. As long as they survived their tribulations, they could keep living indefinitely. Though surviving tribulations was incredibly difficult, some beasts had succeeded multiple times. Power level and age weren't necessarily linked the Fortune Beast was a perfect example of that. However, given Di Tian's cultivation level, Jing Hongchen estimated that he had already been alive long before the first emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was even born. But what really caught his attention was Huo Yuhao's mention of "an entire world." "An entire world? What kind of concept is that?" "Could it be... a place similar to the Douluo Continent?" "Is this really something a human could create? Or is this divine power at work?" "Does that mean Yuhao's so called 'teacher' is actually a god?" "No... impossible. Gods haven't appeared for thousands of years." "Then... did Yuhao actually create this sub dimension himself?" Jing Hongchen's heart pounded faster. He looked at Huo Yuhao and sighed. "Yuhao, I can understand why you'd want to hide your abilities. Your talent is simply too great it will inevitably make others jealous. Even though Kong Lao and I are willing to protect you, the moment you fully reveal your potential, Some people will fear you. Some will covet you. Take Shrek Academy, for example. If they ever find out about your abilities, they'll definitely try to recruit you or worse, force you to join them. Especially after what happened with Xuan Zi, my opinion of Shrek Academy has plummeted." Huo Yuhao thought to himself. "Not just Shrek Academy... there's also the ever waiting Holy Spirit Cult, ready to welcome their 'Saint Child'... and Tang San, who's already prepared an entire training program to make me his dog." But... This sub dimension wasn't even something he created. It was made by Electrolux. Surely he deserved credit for his own work, right? However, seeing Jing Hongchen's current reaction, Yuhao knew there was no point in explaining. No matter how much he clarified, Jing Hongchen wouldn't believe him. So he simply nodded. "In that case, should I show you the sub dimension now?" "Yes," Jing Hongchen nodded, anticipation flickering in his eyes. Without hesitation, Yuhao began chanting an incantation. A moment later, a dark gate emitting an eerie necrotic aura appeared beside him. Seeing this, he stepped forward bringing Jing Hongchen and Meng Hongchen inside with him. Inside the Necromantic Subspace The moment Jing Hongchen stepped into the dimension, He took one quick look around And immediately froze in shock. "Skeletons? Bone Dragons? Ghosts?! This... this looks exactly like " His words halted midway. Huo Yuhao calmly filled in the blanks. "Like the abilities of an evil soul master, right?" He shook his head. "It's not. These things have nothing to do with evil soul masters. Hall Master, I am not an evil soul master. I am not like them." After all, true evil soul masters did horrific things like devouring human flesh to strengthen themselves. That was why they were hunted down by the world. Jing Hongchen studied Huo Yuhao's expression. Seeing no deception, his face relaxed slightly. "Yuhao... you certainly have many secrets. If you can create an entire sub dimension, it's no surprise that you could summon these kinds of entities. I'll trust you on this." Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, was still wide eyed with amazement. This so called sub dimension was utterly bizarre. The oppressive atmosphere made her feel uncomfortable. And the sight of so many undead creatures made it seem like they were standing in some evil soul master's personal lair. But given Huo Yuhao's explanation, she knew that wasn't the case. After thinking for a moment, she chose to believe him. At that moment, Huo Yuhao spoke again. "With this Necromantic Subspace, I can carry out large scale operations. For example, I could transport an entire Sun Moon Empire soul engineer regiment deep into Xingluo's territory, strike at their royal family, and then retreat instantly." "Of course, that's a discussion for the future." "For now, we should finalize our plan to take down the Duchess." Jing Hongchen nodded. "Yes. That's our priority." The two then began discussing the details. Ultimately, they decided that along with Jing Hongchen, they would also bring an elite soul engineer regiment to Xingluo just in case. And of course, the regiment would be none other than the Beast King class Soul Engineer Regiment. Inside the Duke's Mansion A group of servants trembled as they watched the Duchess angrily berate a gray robed servant. There was fear on their faces. Most of them had once earned her favor by bullying Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao. But ever since Huo Yun'er died and Huo Yuhao exposed the Duke's Mansion during the tournament, The reputation of the Duke's House had plummeted. Because of this, the Duchess had become more irritable than ever. And the same servants who once pleased her... Had now become her punching bags. Every time she saw them, she would be reminded of Yun'er and Yuhao. Sometimes, she even thought "Why didn't you people just kill them both back then?" After finishing her outburst, she swept a cold gaze across the room. "Get back to work," she snapped. Then, turning on her heel, she strode back into her chambers. Inside, she glanced at Zhang Tieshan, her personal bodyguard. "Zhang Tieshan, you said that Ri Yao has accepted our request, and that their assassins will be arriving soon?" Zhang Tieshan nodded. "Yes, Duchess. Ri Yao is highly reliable. They should be arriving at any moment now. Once you have selected the assassins, I will personally lead them to the Sun Moon Empire and eliminate Huo Yuhao. Of course, this will take time. After all, Huo Yuhao is heavily protected assassinating him won't be easy." Hearing this, the Duchess's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Good. Huo Yuhao, you have humiliated me for the last time. You should have died in the slums just like your mother. Now, you'll finally receive the fate you deserve." Thank you for the support, friends.
