Blood splattered.
Tang Hao's pupils dilated slightly. His proud Clear Sky Hammer was actually cut in two by the Dragon Slaying Knife in one encounter. Even his chest was opened with a deep cut.
"No—" Ah Yin's voice was miserable. Blue Silver Emperor vines wrapped around him, trying to heal Tang Hao's injury.
After becoming a god, even in a place without Blue Silver Grass, Ah Yin could help herself or others accelerate self-repair, even growing back severed limbs.
"Wild fire cannot burn it out, spring wind blows it back to life, right?" Huo Yuhao snorted coldly. He was all too familiar with the abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor lineage. However, he was the current Son of Life of the Douluo Continent!
The second soul ring of the World Tree, the green-gold Son of Life soul ring, lit up immediately—Second Soul Skill: Judgment·Paradise Lost!
Centered on Huo Yuhao, the entire sky of the Extreme North fell into a second of black and white. Both Ah Yin and Tang Hao felt their heartbeats stop for a full second. More importantly, the majestic life energy coming from Ah Yin was all stripped away.
Jialin's attack followed closely. Scarlet Gold Profound Flame burned down, wrapping the Tang Hao couple completely.
She didn't forget to roll her eyes at Huo Yuhao, as if blaming Huo Yuhao for stealing her kill.
"Humph humph, ah ah ah ah..."
The screams of Tang Hao and Ah Yin rose and fell, almost echoing throughout the entire sky of the Extreme North. Under the suppression of the Plane Core, they couldn't even circulate divine power smoothly.
It was like revenge originating from the Douluo Continent, revenge for their attempt to occupy this plane and turn the continent into the backyard of his Tang family.
The flames dispersed, revealing two somewhat charred bodies.
Tang Hao was undoubtedly the more miserable one. Not only were there large areas of burn marks all over his body, but even some important "parts" were burned by high temperature.
Ah Yin was also not much better. Her clothes were all burned, revealing round parts. The tooth marks left by the Red King were eye-catching.
"This time, don't expect anyone to save you." Huo Yuhao looked down at them coldly. World Tree branches spread over, binding the two firmly, and absorbing all the divine power accumulated by the two for many years, converting it into nutrients for the Dragon Realm.
"You... you despicable Evil Soul Master..." Feeling the rapidly draining divine power in his body, Tang Hao seemingly unwillingly extended a finger towards Huo Yuhao and gritted his teeth.
Clang!
Hand raised and knife fell. Tang Hao's arm broke directly from the root.
"Didn't Tang San teach you that pointing at people with fingers is a bad habit?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head, swinging the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe in his hand, throwing off the blood on the curved blade.
"Oh, that's right. He himself doesn't understand etiquette. After all, he is a thief from the Bashu Tang Sect..."
"You..." Tang Hao forcibly endured the severe pain, not letting himself let out a painful groan.
Huo Yuhao sat down beside him, smiling faintly: "Actually I didn't expect the Rakshasa evil thought to bring such exaggerated battle results, actually making you hook up with that rabbit, letting the whole continent and the whole Divine Realm watch a good show."
"It's you... it's you who harmed me..." Tang Hao glared angrily, wanting to rush over to fight Huo Yuhao desperately immediately, but his body was tightly bound by the World Tree, unable to move at all.
Ah Yin sighed faintly, looked at Tang Hao with complicated eyes, then looked at Huo Yuhao: "You destroyed our family. This is retribution. From the moment San'er reached his hand to the continent, this ending should have been destined."
"Can't say it like that." Huo Yuhao smiled: "In layout and strategic calculation, I am far inferior to Tang San. In a world without me, he indeed succeeded. The Douluo Continent became a backyard continuously providing mental power for the Tang family, and the Divine Realm Committee became the Tang family's one-man show."
"What do you mean by this?" Ah Yin seemed to grasp a certain key point, but couldn't explain it clearly for a while.
Huo Yuhao paid no more attention to her. After all, some things still had to be made public by the God of Destruction then...
—
From the day Xu Sanshi became a Tang Sect disciple, every time he cultivated Mysterious Heaven Skill, he had to absorb heaven and earth origin energy. However, he had never felt that the heaven and earth origin energy of a place could be as strong as this fairyland on earth in front of him.
This magical world in front of him was filled with almost all attributes, and even had such massive vitality. Extreme shock made Xu Sanshi's gaze dull. Everything in front of him was just too beautiful, too beautiful.
"This... this is a land of supreme treasures!" Xu Sanshi's voice trembled slightly. Tang Wutong behind him emitted faint golden light mist, seemingly responding to the rich life aura in this valley.
"I can be sure that on the Douluo Continent, no place so suitable for plant growth can be found again. The life aura here is at least five times that of the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. How is it possible that there is such a place on the continent, and it might even be guarded by humans!"
However, he soon came back to his senses, feeling it more dangerous here. With cultivation approaching Titled Douluo, he could clearly feel that precisely because the life aura here was too rich, most plants growing here evolved into plant-type soul beasts.
Sure enough, because of his appearance, many plants were swaying slightly. Some even faced his direction, and some obviously emitted stronger light.
Compared to animal-type soul beasts, the biggest disadvantage of plant-type soul beasts was lack of flexibility. After all, the vast majority of plants couldn't move. Where they took root, the control range centered there.
Of course, the toughness of plant-type soul beasts within their own control range even surpassed animal soul beasts.
Therefore, in places where a large number of plant-type soul beasts gathered, even very strong animal-type soul beasts were unwilling to approach.
Xu Sanshi took out the map and cast his gaze to the bottom of the map.
This map drawn by Niu Tian and Tai Tan in the past was divided into two parts. The first part was mainly the specific location for him to go to the Sunset Forest and this valley in the Sunset Forest. And on a simpler map behind, the place of the book mentioned in the letter was drawn.
Niu Tian reminded repeatedly in the letter to get that book first, then look for the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Xu Sanshi remembered this point very clearly. With previous experiences, he believed more firmly that every word Niu Tian said in his heart was not aimless.
Since he had come to this valley, for him currently, the most important thing was to find the book recording the characteristics of plants here mentioned in the letter first.
Xu Sanshi looked at the simple map in his hand while carefully comparing with the specific terrain below.
This map was indeed somewhat simple, only making the simplest outline with lines. However, Xu Sanshi soon found the target object. In the line outline, that two-colored lake existed. While comparing with the position on the map, he controlled his body to fly slowly, keeping his position consistent with what was drawn on the map.
Although the map was simple, the markings were very clear. Soon Xu Sanshi found the target.
According to the map, the target pointed to the shore where the blue and red lake waters met. On the specific position on the map, a flower was drawn, marking that the book was there.
But in the next second, Xu Sanshi was dumbfounded—
Beside the shore where red and white spring waters met, only some traces left by humans remained. It seemed that the treasured book stored here had been taken first by someone long ago!
You know, when Huo Yuhao came last time, he didn't intend to leave any treasure for the people of the Tang Sect.
So, even some medicinal herbs that could be used for refining medicine here were picked clean by Huo Yuhao in one go.
Ten thousand years ago, after the generation of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo passed away, this place he once opened up to plant medicinal materials completely became Tang San's medicine garden in the human world. Dugu Bo's descendants didn't even know their ancestor had such a treasure land.
And the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was originally nourished by the remains of the first generation Water and Fire Dragon Kings fallen during the turmoil of the Dragon God Realm. It could be said to be the property of the Dragon Clan originally.
With Gu Yuena's authorization, Huo Yuhao had no psychological burden taking these things away.
And after letting Meng Hongchen and Ye Linlin read Tang San's Poison Manual once, Huo Yuhao stuffed it under the silt at the root of the Bi Phosphor Seven-Flowers, and didn't forget to apply "fertilizer" once.
Although Huo Yuhao really wanted to burn that thing, considering that Tang San might have left some imprint on it, he didn't destroy it.
As for the hundred-thousand-year plant-type fierce beasts here, not a single one was left behind, all following Huo Yuhao and his partners, leaving only seeds here.
If forced to say there was still value, it would only be this pool of spring water barely enough for one or two Ice and Fire Body Temperings, and the Yearning Heartbroken Red dedicated to love brains.
"No! No... here, here has been taken first by someone. Who is it? Who took away Wutong's hope of survival?" Xu Sanshi began to panic. Tang Wutong's frowns and smiles emerged in his mind one by one, then shattered one by one like a broken mirror.
"Bastard, who is it exactly?" Xu Sanshi's eyes were red, panting like an ox, venting his soul power wantonly, bombarding those plant-type soul beasts full of hostility towards him.
Tang Wutong on his back had an even paler pretty face. Her originally rosy lips also began to turn purple. Obviously, she couldn't hold on for much longer.
"Calm down!"
Seemingly a flustered and exasperated voice suddenly sounded in his mind, making Xu Sanshi shiver all over.
"Damn it, my medicine field, how did it become like this? Who did it?" That voice seemed equally annoyed, even more angry than Xu Sanshi.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was nourished and born from the remains of the two Dragon Kings. Even a God King couldn't leave too much divine thought at the burial place of Dragon Kings, only daring to leave some guidance here. This was also the fundamental reason why Huo Yuhao dared to bring people to steal the base back then.
Xu Sanshi kept quiet out of fear, but a question also rose in his heart: Who is speaking in my consciousness? Could it be Wutong's father, Sea God Tang San?
"Feel the guidance with your heart." That voice sounded again, giving Xu Sanshi a sense in the dark.
Xu Sanshi had to continue walking forward bravely. No living creature here helped him, but those plants that had long possessed wisdom seemed to sense his travel goal, immediately separating to both sides slowly, making a path for him.
Finally, he came to that huge dark rock, came to that small white flower looking weak as if a gust of wind could blow it down.
The white flower was shaped like a peony, but thinner than a peony.
It had no fragrance, no other decoration, not even a leaf. There was only a touch of faint blood red, full of sad blood color.
Regarding the introduction of the Yearning Heartbroken Grass, the Yearning Heartbroken Red, there was none in the kit left by Niu Tian and Tai Tan. It had to be conveyed personally by the divine thought left by Tang San—Legend has it, born only for true love, die for true love.
If it chose to evolve, then it would surely become the most powerful existence among the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. However, it didn't, because it didn't want to evolve.
What the Yearning Heartbroken Red wanted was just to silently guard that persistence for love, quietly waiting for the destined person. Once decided, then it would be willing to give everything. This was the persistence of the Yearning Heartbroken Red for love.
Stopping his steps, Xu Sanshi lowered his head, silently looking at the touch of bright red on the small white flower. Faint light flashed. On that bright red, it seemed blood was really flowing.
"Wutong, Wutong. Believe me, you will be fine soon." With that cavity of true love, Xu Sanshi slowly raised his head. A layer of faint golden light rose slowly on his body. Strangely, that golden light fluctuated slightly in the shape of flames after appearing, as if he was burning his own life.
In the spiritual world opened up by Xu Sanshi himself, it fluctuated violently at this moment. Pure spiritual fluctuation gradually turned the spiritual world into a vast spiritual ocean. A golden figure danced in the ocean of ice just like that.
Deep love, accompanying Tang Wutong's figure, spread in his heart.
Behind Xu Sanshi, accompanying the rise of that golden light flame, a figure exactly the same as Tang Wutong actually appeared.
"Formless yet tangible. This kid finally did it. Concentrating everything in love, extreme in love, transforming into god. Spirit turning into flame, formless yet tangible." Someone's leftover divine thought muttered.
Xu Sanshi's spiritual power evolved again, reaching the Spirit Abyss Realm in one step!
Striking with a backhand, Xu Sanshi's right hand hit heavily on his own chest.
With a "wa" sound, a mouthful of blood sprayed out wildly, sprinkling on the surface of the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Instantly, that Yearning Heartbroken Red trembled violently. And the golden figure behind Xu Sanshi also faded and disappeared instantly.
He stared fixedly at this divine product among immortal herbs in front of him, staring at that extreme love immortal herb that could save Tang Wutong back.
This mouthful of heart blood was full of his deep love for Tang Wutong!
But in the next moment, his gaze became dull. Because he saw in surprise that his blood didn't merge into the Yearning Heartbroken Red at all, but stayed quietly on the petals, showing no sign of seeping into it at all.
"No... no, it can't be like this." Xu Sanshi began to panic. He, who still had a smile full of longing for love on his face a moment ago, panicked.
Why? Is his love not obvious enough? Why is it like this?
He even put Tang Wutong down, leaning beside that Yearning Heartbroken Red. Xu Sanshi looked at her affectionately while giving himself another palm, heart blood spraying out for the second time.
However, when his blood touched the Yearning Heartbroken Red, it was exactly the same as the first time spraying heart blood.
No, impossible. Why is it like this?
"Could it be that this kid's love for Little Seven is not real enough?" A certain God King's divine thought muttered to himself.
What no one expected was that in the next second, a red light burst violently from that Yearning Heartbroken Red, spreading outward centered on itself.
Where the red light passed, all divine thoughts trying to intervene in the test were dissolved without a trace.
Xu Sanshi, who was in despair, was stunned. His eyes became clearer than ever in this instant. Even his soul seemed to be cleansed.
Finally, the light and shadows of Tang Wutong concretized in his heart shattered with a bang. Replaced by a somewhat cold and stubborn pretty face.
"Nannan?"
