His Soul Power had reached level 45, further enhanced by two 100,000-year soul rings, and his mental strength was also boosted by the addition of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

After merging with the battle armor, Huo Yuhuo's overall combat power had already reached the level of a Soul Emperor. Not to mention, with his abilities, he could easily defeat Soul Saints even beyond his level.

He could likely withstand a few strikes from a Soul Douluo as well.

His Bone Wings, an external soul bone, had an enormous enhancement. They allowed him to fly at incredible speeds, and after Huo Yuhuo refined them using Bone Pattern techniques, and simultaneously inscribed a Soul Guidance Array to make them part of his battle armor, his speed was increased to the point where he could elevate himself by two major realms.

After a moment's thought, Su Yu decided to bring Huo Yuhuo along.

In combat, Huo Yuhuo might not be able to contribute much.

But his escape speed was absolutely exceptional.

As for bringing him along, Su Yu was not worried at all. Despite the fate of his own luck being intertwined with Huo Yuhuo's, he had no reason to fear for Huo Yuhuo's safety.

Huo Yuhuo had many tricks up his sleeve, and so did Su Yu.

The greatest fear of Evil Soul Masters was Electrolux's necromancy. Although Electrolux would not act lightly, if Su Yu's life were in danger, he would definitely intervene.

From Electrolux's recent simple interaction with the God of Life, it was clear that his condition had recovered well.

Even if Ye Xishui personally guarded the area, Su Yu could still enter the Necromantic Half-Plane to avoid danger.

However, the Necromantic Half-Plane was tricky—wherever the entrance opened, the exit had to be at the same location. While it could be used to preserve life, it was not very reliable for escape.

Therefore, unless it was a critical moment, Su Yu did not intend to rely on it as part of his strategy.

After all, the less exposed he was, the smaller the risk of revealing his weaknesses.

The Valley of Souls was located just three kilometers to the west of the God of Life's inheritance space.

The fact that the two of them had safely arrived at the inheritance space without being detected was undoubtedly due to the influence of the God of Life.

"There are no signs of Evil Soul Masters around," Su Yu remarked. "Clearly, there are no high-level entities here."

Even with the God of Life concealing them, the spatial fluctuations caused by their teleportation, along with the appearance and disappearance of the inheritance space, would have emitted a detectable energy signature. At such a close distance, while ordinary Titled Douluos might not have noticed, Limit Douluos or powerful Super Douluos certainly could.

Since there were no signs of Evil Soul Masters, it meant that the Valley of Souls likely did not have any high-ranking ones.

Of course, it was also possible that there were no Evil Soul Masters here at all.

After all, Su Yu had learned about the Valley of Souls from Kong Deming, but the latter hadn't explicitly stated its true purpose. He only warned Su Yu not to meddle with it.

"Brother Yu, it seems like there really is no one inside."

Huo Yuhuo extended his mental detection to its maximum range, but he couldn't sense any life force.

Inside the Valley of Souls, it was eerily silent, and even without fully entering, both of them could feel a chill in the air.

"There is a heavy sense of resentment in here—wrathful souls and vengeful spirits," Electrolux remarked, his tone solemn.

Su Yu led Huo Yuhuo deeper into the valley.

Although no danger had been detected, Su Yu still instructed Huo Yuhuo to keep his two main soul skills active: Simulation and Spiritual Illusion, in order to maintain their disguise.

Individually, these skills could allow Huo Yuhuo to disguise himself, but when used together, their effects were even stronger. Moreover, while Spiritual Illusion could be cast over a wide area, Simulation seemed to only work on those in physical contact with Huo Yuhuo.

After going deeper into the valley for over a hundred meters, Huo Yuhuo finally detected some traces.

"Brother Yu, there really are Evil Soul Masters here. The soul power mixed with such a strong smell of blood."

Huo Yuhuo's face grew tense as he sensed the powerful fluctuations in the soul power.

"Did they expose their soul power on purpose?" Su Yu asked.

"Yes, they did so deliberately," Huo Yuhuo confirmed.

The two continued deeper, with Huo Yuhuo narrowing his detection range to get a clearer sense of the situation.

"There are three of them, and they look very similar. Are they triplets?"

Receiving the mental images from Huo Yuhuo's scan, Su Yu quickly identified the individuals.

The Zhongli triplets—three Evil Soul Masters, each at the Soul Douluo level.

At that moment, the triplets were holding soul-guiding staffs, each topped with a massive crystal that contained a complex array of soul guidance formations etched into it.

Each staff was a Level 8 Soul Guidance Device.

Within these staffs, countless souls were being released.

"Hehehe, after three years of work, we can finally enjoy ourselves again," one of them chuckled.

"That's right, the sacrificial ritual is truly pleasurable," another agreed.

Huo Yuhuo's mental detection wasn't all-encompassing. First, he couldn't detect anything inside the triplets' staffs, and secondly, there seemed to be an altar in front of the triplets, which he also couldn't fully sense.

These were likely things that interfered with mental perception.

"Brother Yu, it looks like all these are the souls of soul beasts. My goodness, how many soul beasts did they hunt? And the murderous aura emanating from these souls… I'm afraid it's more than just simple hunting," Huo Yuhuo said, his voice filled with shock and anger.

Although he wasn't a soul beast himself, Huo Yuhuo understood the devastating impact that mass killing of soul beasts could have on the soul master system.

The beast tides in the history of Douluo Continent were likely more than just simple triggers—they were the result of these kinds of actions.

The real culprits behind the beast tides were those who slaughtered soul beasts indiscriminately.

In just three years, they had hunted so many soul beasts.

Among them were even the souls of some ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Inside Huo Yuhuo's Sea of Spirit, the three great soul spirits were seething with indignation.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cursed fiercely, the Ice Emperor's eyes were filled with cold disdain, and the Illusion Butterfly, seeing such cruelty for the first time in the human world, was cursing non-stop. It felt utterly tainted by the horrific scene.

"This is too much!" it thought, deeply disturbed by the sight.

"Yuhuo, stay calm. They're all Soul Douluos, and Evil Soul Masters at that. It's probably not easy to kill them in this cursed place," Su Yu cautioned.

"We need to find a way to lure the three brothers out."

"Electrolux, do you have any suggestions?" Su Yu turned to the old man for help.

"I hadn't wanted you to get involved with these things," Electrolux sighed. "But it seems like you'll need to use necromantic magic for something in this plane."

With a heavy sigh, Electrolux's grayish energy merged into Su Yu's Sea of Spirit, and Su Yu immediately began receiving a torrent of information.

"Remember, never share these magic techniques with those with impure hearts, and don't let them deceive your mind," Electrolux warned.

Su Yu quickly swore that he would never lose his rationality just because of necromantic magic.

After all, it was just a branch of the power system, and while Electrolux had perfected it, Su Yu wasn't going to let himself be consumed by this single path. There were plenty of other paths worth exploring, and he would never allow himself to be trapped on one road.

"Purification Fire!"

Su Yu cast the necromantic magic, combining it with his second soul skill. The extreme vitality ignited the Purification Fire, burning everything in its path.

Boom!
