Peerless Douluo: Huo Yuhao, Master of the Soul Palace

On the day his mother died, a foreign seed took root within Huo Yuhao—the Soul Realm, an existence born from a plane far higher than the Douluo Continent. This realm offers no kindly mentor, only the merciless laws of trial: the strong prey on the weak, and everything is exchanged at equal value. Yet buried within that seed was one final safeguard left by his mother, and hidden inside that safeguard was a man named Hun Tiandi. Driven by the sole purpose of resurrecting his mother, the young boy embarks on a journey that runs counter to every principle of Douluo's natural order. He forges himself in the Soul Realm's crucible, trading piece by piece for the strength to overturn the laws of life and death. Years later, gripping his soul-forged blade, Huo Yuhao gazes down at the blue-haired man whose very soul he has just shattered. With chilling calm, he speaks: "I am not an evil soul master. I simply know better than any of you what power is meant to be traded for."
