"Third Brother, I beg you, help me bring Xiangxiang to the Divine Realm!"
"Fatty, how can this work? You didn't cultivate hard enough yourself and can't bring family members to ascend. I can't help it either! Besides, the Divine Realm is not my one-man show!"
"No, Third Brother, I don't want Xiangxiang to die alone in the human world. She is your cousin!"
"Don't mention this matter again. As a Divine Realm Law Enforcer, I must be fair and strict!"
"Then, then I am willing to give up the god position. Let me descend to the lower realm. I can't live without Xiangxiang!"
"Nonsense! Do you really think deity inheritance is a child's play? You must stay. Now my position in the Divine Realm is unstable, and I urgently need your support!"
"Third Brother, since you ascended to become a god, it took me hundreds of years of cultivation on the Douluo Continent to become a god. The same goes for Boss Dai and the others. You should have some status in the Divine Realm by now!"
"We are brothers. Other things are negotiable, but I cannot set this precedent. Otherwise, how can I establish myself in the Divine Realm Committee in the future? Law Enforcers must be strict with themselves and absolutely cannot bend the rules for close associates!"
—
"Third Brother, who is the woman you are guiding?"
"Her? She is the mother of the man Little Seven chose. Should be called Xue Lingxun. It is said she is a princess of the Dou Spirit Empire."
"But, isn't that kid you fancied not a god yet?"
"Fatty, you don't understand this. The person I fancy will definitely become a god in the future. At worst, I'll pass the Sea God position to him. Bringing his family to the Divine Realm in advance now will make it easier for me to control this kid in the future..."
"..."
—
The past impacted Ma Hongjun's consciousness like a tide. He silently watched that figure, charging towards the high altitude again and again, and reaching out to the starry sky when soul power was exhausted.
He tried to reach out to touch, but found he couldn't grab that hand at all.
He had a heart full of longing, but couldn't convey it to the other's heart.
He couldn't blame anyone, and could only cultivate hard constantly alone, trying to fill the void in his heart.
Even if he was fully capable of inheriting the Fire God position now, so what? She was gone.
Gone!
Ten thousand years had passed on the Douluo Continent. Her soul had long fallen into reincarnation, reincarnated into who knows which family.
He could only bless silently—
Hope that girl's reincarnation can meet a true good man, a good man who never abandons or gives up...
Huo Yuhao exhaled violently, collapsing softly into Ma Xiaotao's arms.
He succeeded. Relying on Ma Xiaotao's bloodline inherited from Bai Chenxiang, combined with the hidden hand left by the God of Lust, he successfully created the scene of Bai Chenxiang rushing towards the high altitude again and again in Ma Hongjun's memory.
The poignant scene of a woman charging towards the firmament countless times just to see her beloved one last time, finally breaking her wings and falling—
Ma Hongjun's eyes turned red involuntarily. In fact, after ascending, he could no longer see the girl's appearance in his memory, not even the last face before the girl died.
Even if he guessed this might be an illusion created by Huo Yuhao in his memory, Ma Hongjun was willing to believe it, because this was indeed something that stubborn woman would do.
What a powerless despair it was. Soaring into the sky countless times, just to see that person again, not hesitating to break her own wings—
"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang..."
"No—" Ma Hongjun opened his eyes abruptly. Tears had covered his face at some point. He roared and woke up, but could no longer see the girl's appearance.
Ma Hongjun fell back to the ground, raising his head high, gazing at the boundless high altitude. There, a woman once tried to cross the distance between humans and gods.
"Xiangxiang, I was useless—" He let out a heart-piercing howl, pounding the ground with both fists constantly, trembling all over...
Huo Yuhao stopped the partners preparing to finish him off. Intervening now would only be counterproductive. Letting him fall into suffocating pain alone was the best means to disintegrate the human heart.
"Except for Xiao Tao, everyone go deal with Zhu Zhuqing." Seeing Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er's Meteor Red Dragon about to release synchronization, Huo Yuhao immediately let the partners previously fighting Ma Hongjun fill the gap. Zhu Zhuqing was too fast. Even if the partners' attacks were enough to cause damage to her, hitting her was another matter.
Under Jialin's fire suppression, Dai Mubai had turned from Evil Eye White Tiger to Evil Eye Black Tiger. There was almost no uncharred skin on his whole body, looking extremely funny.
"Roar!" Amidst the angry roar, God of War Dai Mubai's body had swollen to a hundred meters high. The majestic body was like a towering mountain. White fur with black patterns covered his whole body. A pair of tiger claws forcibly scattered the sweeping Scarlet Gold Profound Flame, but a dark red halo also appeared on him.
"Zhuqing, let's fuse!" Seeing divine power about to run out, Dai Mubai had to ask Zhu Zhuqing for help.
"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing broke free from the Snow Empress's Snow Dance Radiance Sun, rushing towards Dai Mubai's direction at lightning speed.
Zhu Zhuqing turned lightly, like a nimble kitten, snuggling into Dai Mubai's embrace.
Immediately after, a white light full of boundless aura burst from their bodies.
The aura on their bodies instantly became strong. The three-ring light wheels behind the two deities merged together under everyone's gaze.
The sky-filling Scarlet Gold Profound Flame actually paused for a moment in front of that boundless white light. Immediately after, a huge white tiger appeared out of thin air in mid-air.
The white tiger had three pairs of wings on its back. Its huge body was pure white without a flaw. A pair of eyes were pitch-black as ink, deep as an abyss. Behind that huge white tiger body, a light wheel with five layers of halos had blossomed.
With the help of Divine Soul Fusion, Hell White Tiger, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing re-upgraded to Second-Class Deity.
Their fusion skill was the strongest link besides Tang San and Xiao Wu. Huo Yuhao had also anticipated this long ago. Fire Dragon King Jialin already possessed strength at the peak of Super God level, but like the Dragon Clan of Draco Star in the original timeline, she didn't have a god position. Although at the peak of Super God level, she couldn't be considered a true Super God level (First-Class Deity) powerhouse.
Therefore, she couldn't quickly make the opponent lose combat power like Gu Yuena and couldn't stop the opponent from completing Divine Soul Fusion.
Rather than spending a huge price to stop them from fusing, it was better to let them complete the fusion and consume themselves. As for how to deal with the Hell White Tiger, Jialin had already submitted the answer—
She hit a wisp of Scarlet Gold Profound Flame into Dai Mubai. Through this wisp of Scarlet Gold Profound Flame, Huo Yuhao, who signed the Soul Spirit Contract with her, could do many things.
"Waiting for you to fuse!" Facing the huge Hell White Tiger, the eight-colored soul ring under Huo Yuhao's feet lit up again—
"Eighth Soul Skill, Will—Destruction!"
Huo Yuhao raised two fingers and tapped lightly on his glabella. A wisp of invisible Scarlet Gold Profound Flame ignited on the huge Hell White Tiger's head. As Huo Yuhao's eyes ignited, that wisp of Scarlet Gold Profound Flame spread rapidly to every part of the white tiger.
For a time, negative emotions like despair and decadence spread instantly in the heart of the Hell White Tiger. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's originally high fighting spirit was like having a basin of cold water poured on it, instantly subsiding by half.
What ability was this?
At their level of duel, will was enough to determine the final victory or defeat. Huo Yuhao's eighth soul skill was exactly a great weapon against deities.
How could Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing resist the spiritual realm of God King?
At this moment, Fire Dragon King Jialin seemed magnified several times in their eyes. An irresistible panic filled the heart of the Hell White Tiger.
Getting Huo Yuhao's signal, Jialin shook her body and transformed. A flame dragon thousands of zhang long descended into everyone's vision just like that.
In front of this huge figure enough to cover clouds and sun, the Hell White Tiger formed by the fusion of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing was like a weak kitten.
The flame dragon spewed flames, shrouding the Hell White Tiger directly.
"Huo Yuhao, I am your ancestor! You can't kill us!" Dai Mubai's flustered and exasperated voice came from the sea of fire. The one most affected by Will Destruction was naturally Zhu Zhuqing. Under Jialin's violent offensive, she completely gave up resistance and released Divine Soul Fusion with Dai Mubai.
"Hahahaha! Ancestor?" Huo Yuhao laughed loudly, "Sorry, you are not worthy!"
"Partners, the time for decisive victory has arrived! Kill God of War Dai Mubai and God of Speed Zhu Zhuqing here!"
"Oh—"
Ning Tian and Ye Linlin recklessly maximized the boost they could give.
Xie Huanyue swelled all over, transforming into a mighty giant hundreds of zhang high in an instant, corresponding to Long Aotian in the Golden Body Arhat state from afar. Two pairs of iron fists struck out boldly.
Cui Yajie merged into the Nine-Tailed Soul Spirit, also swelling nearly ten times. The huge Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox opened its bloody mouth. Heavy Ion Nuclear Fusion Cannon was ready to fire.
On the ground, Pluto Demon Puppet led the undead army galloping. Gungnir connected the red line piercing the heart. Red Dust Love rolled up a storm of golden leaves. Meteor Red Dragon divided into thousands of clones for the last impact. Heaven and Earth Net and Miles of Ice Seal locked all possible escape routes.
In the sky, Sun Holy Sword, Angelic Holy Sword, and Emperor Sword combined into one. Purple Flower Bow shot a full moon. Phoenix and Golden Crow danced together, bringing down tongues of fire burning everything in the world.
This was Huo Yuhao's confidence. Every partner who walked with him all the way developed their martial souls and own abilities to the extreme with the resources of the Dragon Realm. If given a few more years to develop, Huo Yuhao was confident in pulling out a whole team of Quasi-Gods.
Watching this decisive battle of gathered monsters, countless Douluo people cheered for it one after another. This was the power of the Demon King, power enough to easily destroy the entire continent!
Beside them, more or less lay relatives, close friends, and lovers who lost their lives for disobeying Tang San. Just because they knew the true history, they ended up dead!
From that moment on, almost no one on the Douluo Continent believed in Tang San anymore. That despicable hypocrite was not worthy of being a legend of the Douluo Continent!
The counterattack launched by Huo Yuhao on behalf of human soul masters against gods represented the wish deep in their hearts.
Must win, Demon King!
Seeming to respond to the expectations of the people, as soon as Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing released fusion, they were submerged by the ensuing attacks—
"Fatty, save me!!" Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun grieving secretly in the corner and issued a hysterical cry for help.
But Ma Hongjun seemed not to hear his voice, just staring blankly at the Sinful Desire Demon Phoenix dancing in the air.
Once upon a time, Bai Chenxiang also looked at him from this angle, right? At least, she could always look at him like this at that time...
No matter what realm the cultivation reached, Divine Soul Fusion consumed huge amounts for the Dai Mubai couple, so Huo Yuhao had been waiting for them to fuse. Just like when Cao Jinxuan dealt with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu back then, utilizing all pros and cons of martial soul fusion.
Rumble...
Yin-Yang Love Questioning Valley was almost razed to the ground.
After a burst of violent roaring, blood-covered Dai Mubai fell from the sky. He activated three ancestral divine skills, White Tiger Body Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Devil God Transformation, consecutively at the most critical moment, barely saving his life.
But Zhu Zhuqing was not so lucky. She was torn to pieces by the terrifying offensive in an instant, not even leaving a corpse.
Dai Mubai finally experienced pain similar to Ma Hongjun's. He lay on the ground issuing painful long howls, making people sigh.
"Can you understand some pain slightly?" Huo Yuhao strode towards Dai Mubai. At this time, he also consumed a lot. You know, these soul skills of his were used against deities.
Dai Mubai's eyes were red, staring at Huo Yuhao fiercely, saying nothing.
"Do you hate me?" Huo Yuhao came to him, looking down at him condescendingly, "Thanks to your evil descendants, my mother, Huo Yun'er, died."
Hearing his words, Dai Mubai seemed to remember something, but before he could reply, the Angelic Holy Sword had pierced his heart.
"You..." Blood flowed from Dai Mubai's mouth. Staring at Huo Yuhao with wide eyes, he raised his finger tremblingly: "You kill your ancestor, a heinous crime..."
"Don't worry, you won't die. Your good brother Tang San will resurrect you, so I don't have any psychological burden."
Saying that, Huo Yuhao used the Angelic Holy Sword as a medium, releasing Scarlet Gold Profound Flame to wrap Dai Mubai completely.
Terrifying flames swept over Dai Mubai's flesh, burning his skin, flesh and blood, and meridians completely.
Everyone on the continent witnessed this scene. So far, three of the original Shrek Seven Devils were gone. Huo Yuhao and his partners completed the feat of god-slaying.
The most uncomfortable person in front of the soul guide screen was undoubtedly the contemporary famous marshal of the Star Luo Empire, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao. Now he could only watch his son destroy the ancestor helplessly through the soul tool.
This should have been his pride...
In the next moment, he turned around abruptly, slapping Dai Huabin and Dai Yaoheng behind him fiercely on the face!
Pa! Pa!
"As older brothers, you relied on the maternal line to bully your younger brother, and even caused the death of your stepmother. Unworthy of being older brothers!"
Dai Huabin bit his lower lip tightly. A trace of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.
At this time, his heart was not regretful because of Dai Hao's scolding, but blaming himself for being too light-handed back then, not beating Huo Yuhao to death together, letting that little bastard grow to this extent.
While Dai Yaoheng's face was much calmer. Since his martial soul mutated and became evil, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Now he was not inferior to Dai Hao.
"Go, you go bring Dai Luoli and his mother back for me. See if you can let them contact Huo Yuhao and recognize ancestors and return to the clan!"
"Yes, father..."
