Di Tian had already guessed the situation's outline, and precisely because of that, he dared not make a move.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered with contempt. After tens of thousands of years of existence, this creature was still such a waste.
Finally, he glanced at the Three-Eyed Jin Ni before stepping through the spatial gate, disappearing completely. After Huo Yuhao's departure, the Ming Realm gradually merged back into the space around it.
At the Heavenly Court, Huo Yuhao walked slowly out of the Sacred Hall. Five days had passed since Gu Yue Na's attack, and Huo Yuhao's injuries had long healed. The damaged formation of the Ming Realm had also been fully repaired.
Standing in front of the hall, his gaze deep and unwavering, Huo Yuhao observed the growing swarm of pests around the Heavenly Court. It was time to issue a warning—otherwise, anyone could come and tread over him.
With that thought, he stepped forward—and in the next moment, vanished.
On a desolate mountain, Ji Tui Douluo Xuanzi stood silently at the peak, enjoying his usual bite of meat and sip of wine.
This place was only seven or eight miles from the Heavenly Court. Xuanzi had arrived three days prior but had not struck. After all, the Heavenly Court still housed the former Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Sect's three top-ranked Douluos. While he feared none of them, he worried that being entangled might lead to unforeseen complications.
Better to wait for Huo Yuhao to appear, then intercept him. This time, he had prepared for a long battle.
Xuanzi decided to do nothing else, merely lying in wait outside the Heavenly Court, convinced that this little pest could not remain hidden forever.
"Been here for so long… are you waiting for me?"
A faint voice drifted from behind, making Xuanzi's heart skip a beat. Someone had approached without his noticing.
Turning, he squinted his old eyes upon seeing the newcomer, a murderous glint in his gaze.
Without a word, he struck. Seeing Huo Yuhao, Xuanzi extended his palm in a fierce clap. It seemed simple, but he unleashed over sixty percent of his power.
The surrounding world's energy was drawn forth, condensing into a colossal ochre hand—the size of hundreds of normal human hands, thick and solid.
"Decisive," Huo Yuhao thought, surprised. He had expected a pompous speech, a little posturing. This old dog actually had brains.
In the original timeline, these people had seemed mentally neutered against Dai Yuhao, easily tricked by a sudden appearance of his martial soul. Zhou Yi and Fan Yu were fools who truly believed it.
Shrek Academy and the major empires had utterly failed to uncover Dai Yuhao's identity—ridiculous.
Now, with Huo Yuhao, everyone seemed fully aware. Figures like the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na, and Ji Tui Douluo Xuanzi chose to strike decisively upon seeing his potential.
If not for the appearance of the Divine List, Dai Hao might have succeeded long ago—Huo Yuhao would not have reached his current state.
In short, never judge these people by the original timeline. Never rely on mercy—expecting it is pure foolishness.
Huo Yuhao dared to fight, and he had the confidence to face Xuanzi. If Xuanzi wanted his life, he equally desired to bury Xuanzi here.
Facing Xuanzi's massive palm, Huo Yuhao struck with his own. An icy-blue imprint met the ochre one.
Boom!
After a brief stalemate, both shattered simultaneously, neither gaining the upper hand. This was only a test—Xuanzi was not foolish enough to think such a strike could kill this little pest. His appearance here already proved his confidence.
Yet Xuanzi grew even more confident in his strength. Narrowing his eyes, he stomped his right foot.
The earth cracked beneath him like a spiderweb. At the same time, a terrifying giant beast's apparition emerged behind him.
A goat's body, tiger's teeth, ape-like claws, eyes in its armpits, and a pair of curved goat horns—grotesque and monstrous.
This was Xuanzi's martial soul, the Taotie Divine Bull, a top-tier earth-element soul.
Alongside it appeared soul rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, one red.
The nine-ring martial soul greatly increased Xuanzi's power, and his aura surged immensely.
Striding forward with a commanding presence, he swung his fist again. Ochre energy poured out, each strike echoing with explosive force. This blow surpassed the previous one.
Huo Yuhao responded with the same technique, but when the attacks dispersed, he had stepped back several paces—clearly at a disadvantage.
He looked up at Xuanzi, eyes narrowing. "You old dog pack quite a punch."
"Hmph. Let's see how long you can keep your mouth running," Xuanzi growled.
Huo Yuhao's mockery enraged him—years had passed without anyone speaking so boldly. Yet he kept his anger in check.
Behind him, yellow light coalesced into massive spheres. The attack exuded the raw might of heaven and earth, terrifying in scale and power, covering a vast area as if tearing the sky itself.
Rasengan!
Huo Yuhao lifted his palm skyward, weaving countless silver threads above it. The space around him began to destabilize, slowly collapsing.
Simultaneously, endless red light surged outward, filling the hundred-mile region in moments.
Within the crimson mist, Xuanzi was shocked. Countless malevolent thoughts invaded his soul, disrupting his focus.
His ochre energy clashed with Huo Yuhao's Rasengan, shattering many yellow spheres. At the same time, more than half of the silver threads were destroyed within the yellow energy.
Both attacks were wide in scope, producing aftershocks. Some yellow spheres now hurtled toward Huo Yuhao.
He remained calm. Just before impact, a golden barrier fell, stopping them dead.
A few silver threads reached Xuanzi, tangling and breaking instantly.
The surrounding space collapsed at once, forming a black hole.
A terrifying force pulled at Xuanzi as the spatial rift tore at his body.
He scoffed. His crystalline yellow light formed a shield, instantly filling the black hole entirely.
