Chapter 36 Tang Buddha Makes His Move.
Wu Xuan had already left the far north and arrived at a small border town called Far North City in the northernmost part of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
The various unique snacks on the commercial street whetted Wu Xuan's appetite.
Since merging with the Ice Emperor, Wu Xuan's appetite had greatly increased; he had strolled the entire commercial street and was still not full.
Just then, a streak of blue-gold light descended from the distant sky; a wisp of Tang Buddha's divine sense landed above the small town.
"Hmph! This person must be that rising star! He looks ordinary and nothing special. He's far inferior to what I calculated before. Blocking this God King's path is just bad luck for you." Tang Buddha coldly snorted, his eyes dark.
"Wait! This martial soul? Is this a mutated Soul-Breaking Spear? This rising star is a descendant of the Medicine Hall lineage; he is a descendant of my Tang Clan." Tang Buddha, who had intended to eliminate Wu Xuan, stopped abruptly, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Wu Xuan below.
"Haha! Heaven is helping me! It truly is heaven's help!! This rising star of my Tang Clan possesses immense fortune and talent rarely seen in ten thousand years. Most importantly, this person is actually a descendant of my Tang Clan! Excellent! Excellent!" Tang Buddha was overjoyed.
"As long as I can control this person, what does it matter if I give up the Sea God's position? Without the interference of the Sea God's divine power, I can truly control the Asura God's divine power and completely possess the power to contend with destruction."
After his great joy, Tang Buddha couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive: "This child's talent and fortune far surpass mine back then. Inheriting my Sea God's position doesn't seem quite right, but it doesn't matter. Too strong would be difficult to control. In the future, as long as he passes my test and becomes the new god, he can unleash the combat power of a first-level god."
"Hmph!! With this ebb and flow, let's see how you fight me in the future." Thinking of this, Tang Buddha couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, as if everything was under his control.
"However, we can't easily give up on that rising star. After years of planning, it finally obtained the fragment of that demigod's remnant soul. If nurtured properly, it could be a great asset in overthrowing the God Realm's control over Destruction." Thinking this, Tang Buddha directly issued orders to the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape on the Douluo Continent.
The message had barely been sent when a divine thought filled with destructive aura warned Tang San. "Sea God! You dare to break the law, arbitrarily using the God Realm's central hub to spy on the lower realm's fortune and interfere with its operation!" With that, the destructive divine thought directly annihilated a wisp of Tang Buddha's divine consciousness in the lower realm. The newcomer was a towering figure wearing a large purple cloak. The wide cloak covered his head, and within it seemed an endless aura of destruction surged. A nine-ringed, purplish-black halo silently floated behind him.
The newcomer was none other than the God King of Destruction.
"Tang San, back then you already abused your power by granting godhood to those unqualified Shrek Seven Devils, and now you repeatedly interfere in the lower realms. Do you really think that becoming an enforcer gives you the right to act recklessly in the God Realm?!" Destruction shouted angrily.
Damn it! That dog Destruction does nothing but watch me all day. Tang Buddha gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"Tang San! Out of consideration for our shared status as enforcers, I'll let you go this time. However, I'll seize the God Realm's central hub for now. If you want to continue controlling it, go appeal to the God Realm Committee!" After saying that, Destruction God King's terrifying aura swept away the key to the God Realm's central hub and vanished without a trace.
Hearing Destruction God King's warning, Tang San's face turned extremely ugly. "Destruction, you dog, you've repeatedly hindered my plans, you're practically courting death. You won't be arrogant for long. When my ten-thousand-year plan is complete, I will definitely abolish your God King position."
The lower realm! Douluo Star!
A vast sea of clouds stretched out, and atop the mountain peak suspended above it stood a majestic gray castle.
The gray castle exuded an ancient aura, possessing an imposing presence. Amidst the drifting clouds, in this place where the mountain's slopes were so steep, stood
Haotian Castle!
"Brother! Did you receive that man's order?" A burly middle-aged man burst through the tightly closed door with lightning speed, inquiring.
"Yes, I received it! I plan to go there myself. I also want to see what kind of ability this young man has that makes him look at me differently and order me to take care of him." A middle-aged man with long blue hair, sitting in the main seat, said calmly.
"We should take care of him? Why should we? I heard that Xiao Qi and that young man have a particularly good relationship!" the burly man exclaimed indignantly.
"Alright, second brother! We'll just follow that man's orders. He must have his reasons for doing this." The blue-haired man calmly took a sip of his tea.
"Sigh! Since you've said so, then so be it! Little Seven is, after all, her daughter," the burly man sighed.
"That's more like it! Remember to take good care of the sect after I'm gone," the blue-haired man said calmly.
Meanwhile! Sunset Forest!
Since the end of the holiday, Huo Yuhao, through Zhou Yi's connections, obtained several kinds of soul power enhancement drugs from Fan Yu, and began cultivating day and night. Finally, today, with the help of the drugs, he successfully reached the bottleneck of level twenty.
"As long as I acquire one soul ring, I can meet the minimum standard for entering the second year at Shrek Academy." Huo Yuhao gripped the White Tiger Dagger, his eyes extremely calm.
As Huo Yuhao continued deeper into the forest, "Bang! Bang!" A massive armored rhinoceros slowly came into Huo Yuhao's view with heavy footsteps.
The armored rhinoceros seemed to have spotted Huo Yuhao, its small eyes fixed on his direction as it slowly advanced.
"A thousand-year-old soul beast!?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed, and began to run for his life.
The armored rhinoceros also roared angrily, chasing after Huo Yuhao.
Strangely, the armored rhinoceros didn't run fast, but simply stayed close behind Huo Yuhao. Even stranger, Huo Yuhao didn't encounter any other soul beasts blocking his path on his escape.
Was this poisonous miasma ahead? Huo Yuhao's face was deathly pale; he had nowhere to run.
"Wait! This poisonous miasma doesn't completely cover the area ahead." Using his shared mental detection, Huo Yuhao miraculously found a path to safety.
Seeing the soul beast about to catch up, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and plunged into the only escape route.
The seven-colored poisonous miasma was thick; visibility was zero. Even with his mental detection activated, Huo Yuhao couldn't detect anything. But he persisted. At the same time, he released his only level-two soul-guided shield.
He navigated the miasma without incident, and when he finally passed through, he was completely stunned. What lay before him was far beyond anything they had ever seen before. He breathed in fresh air, brimming with life, unlike anything he had ever experienced before. What he saw was no longer a perilous place; it was a paradise on earth!
Before Huo Yuhao could examine the scene further, a gentle female voice rang out clearly: "Human. It's your good fortune to be here. You are a disciple of the Tang Sect."
Huo Yuhao was so startled that he fell to the ground, staring dumbfounded at the large pink flower before him, muttering, "You...you can speak?"
"Answer my question, you are a disciple of the Tang Sect." The large pink flower seemed very displeased with Huo Yuhao's reaction, speaking coldly.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked tentatively, "Senior, this junior is indeed a disciple of the Tang Sect. I came here by accident. I didn't know where this place was. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me, senior."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao quickly used his Xuan Tian Gong to prove his identity.
"Hmm. So you really are a disciple of the Tang Sect! Well, it's alright then, I'll forgive you." The large pink flower said, feigning magnanimity.
"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!" Huo Yuhao quickly bowed.
"Hmm! A polite junior. This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the legacy left behind by the Sea God who ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago. As a disciple of the Tang Sect, you are naturally qualified to inherit this legacy. I wonder if you are willing to accept the test?" The pink-clad man said pretentiously.
"The Sea God's... legacy! I'm willing! I'm willing!!" Huo Yuhao's voice trembled.
