Chapter 129 Turbulent Times
Looking down at the devastated Poseidon Island, Huo Yuhao and Di Tian did not fall behind.
All the buildings here have been destroyed, leaving only ruins and a deathly atmosphere, with no trace of any survivors.
Only the Temple of the Sea God stood alone atop the mountain, untouched by the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Sure enough, after destroying this place, they looted it and left."
Huo Yuhao stood on Di Tian's dragon back, looking down at the desolate scene below, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Chen Fuhai's death was a bit suspicious."
"After being summoned by Tang San, he immediately went into seclusion and then died."
Huo Yuhao began to recall what could have happened about a year ago that would have prompted Tang San to call upon Chen Fuhai.
Tianmeng's sacrifice took place more than a year ago, which doesn't match the date Lanming mentioned.
The fight with Wang Dong was more than half a year ago, a little later than when Chen Fuhai went into seclusion.
Even the Body Sect's attack on Shrek Academy occurred several months earlier than Chen Fuhai's seclusion.
On my side, nothing corresponds to the duration of Chen Fuhai's seclusion.
Chen Fuhai's death appears to have been caused by an accident during his seclusion.
But Huo Yuhao had a feeling that things couldn't be that simple.
"The fact that my mother's soul is in Tang San's hands means that Tang San can interfere in the lower realm and directly obtain people's souls."
"Chen Fuhai died after losing his soul during seclusion. Could it be that Tang San also took his soul?"
Di Tian circled over Seagod Island once, then took Huo Yuhao back to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Throughout the journey, Huo Yuhao pondered: if Tang San took Chen Fuhai's soul with a purpose, then what was his purpose?
He matched each of the factions connected to Tang San in the clues one by one.
The Holy Spirit Church can be ruled out first; there's no need to let your two dogs fight each other.
Haotian Fortress might be a possibility, but they already have two sect leaders, so there seems to be no need to go through the trouble of having a third sect leader.
Shrek Academy — The Golden Tree —
"Could it be Mu En?" A guess popped into Huo Yuhao's mind.
Firstly, as Poisonous Immortal stated, Mu En's injuries were already extremely severe. Furthermore, the fact that he unleashed his maximum level of combat power during his fight with Poisonous Immortal would undoubtedly worsen his injuries, further shortening his already limited lifespan.
The wear and tear is even more rapid.
Now, however, Moon has suddenly recovered to his full fighting strength.
He hadn't recovered from the Golden Tree's treatment for so many years, but suddenly recovered after Tianmeng's sacrifice and the attack from the Body Sect, which was clearly abnormal.
Moreover, after regaining his peak condition, Moon's personality changed drastically, and he became too arrogant.
Huo Yuhao and Mu En had only met once, but Mu En acted like a kind old man. He sent Ma Xiaotao to Di'ao Academy and even proposed a deal. According to the initial speculation of the Heavenly Soul Empire, he wanted to ease the relationship between the Heavenly Soul Empire and Shrek Academy in preparation for the future turbulent situation on the continent.
However, Moon has now torn up the agreement and is even willing to completely break ties with the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Given how much importance Mu En places on Shrek Academy, it seems unlikely that he would dare to openly appoint someone with such a serious blemish as Long Xiaoyao as the honorary dean.
"Unless this Mu En is unaware of the past between Long Xiaoyao and Mu En."
Huo Yuhao suppressed his suspicion for the time being and jumped to the ground with a normal expression.
This guess is too far-fetched; we need to find a way to verify it.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao and Di Tian had returned, Gu Mingxi stepped forward and asked, "Did you succeed?"
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "A 73,000-year-old Yang Water Dragon Soul Ring, Xiaosheng Youlong."
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao told Gu Mingxi and the group of Star Dou ferocious beasts about what he had seen and heard during this period.
During this time, the Silver Beast kept circling around Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled and scratched its chin.
When Huo Yuhao spoke of the extraordinary nature of Yin-Yang Lake, the beasts couldn't help but marvel, exclaiming that it truly was a rare treasure.
"I just don't know where the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is."
A hint of longing flashed in the eyes of the Demon King: "That's the legendary treasure land of plant-type soul beasts."
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, his mind racing as he considered the possible locations where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye might appear.
According to the Miscellaneous Chapters of the Martial Arts Classic, the Shrek Seven Gods gained the foundation to become gods by consuming the immortal herb from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Therefore, the other two continents, as well as the Sun and Moon Continent that collided with them later, can be ruled out.
There are only a few truly uninhabited areas in the Douluo Continent, and Xingdou and the far north happen to be two of them.
Since neither of those two places has any, then there are only a few small uninhabited areas left, which are not so difficult to search.
The arm, like a poison that cannot be killed, steals from the Emperor of Heaven and plants the Sunset Forest, which is full of the Seven Wonders of Azure Phosphorus Flowers, in front of the Gu family.
besides-·
After the Soul Master Competition ends, Huo Yuhao plans to explore these places one by one.
After listening to Huo Yuhao's story, Gu Mingxi came to Huo Yuhao's side.
"The true form of a minor martial spirit?"
"Let's exchange a punch first!"
Huo Yuhao clenched his right fist and raised his arm to meet Gu Mingxi's fist.
The two fists collided, but there was no violent shockwave; it was as if it were just a simple exchange of punches.
However, a look of surprise flashed in Gu Mingxi's eyes.
"You can match my power without using your soul skills?"
Moreover, as Huo Yuhao's fourth spirit ring lit up, Gu Mingxi immediately felt a tremendous force rebounding from where their fists had touched.
Gu Mingxi flicked her wrist: "Healing and damage reflection? How are we supposed to fight you when we get back?"
Huo Yuhao withdrew his fist: "What, you really want to knock me down before the competition even starts?"
Gu Mingxi chuckled: "Once your Little Martial Soul True Body is activated, along with those combat skills inherited disguised as Extreme Ice, who will be able to defeat you then?"
"The Soul Saint uses the Martial Soul True Body as a life-saving technique, while you have directly evolved the Martial Soul Possession to the level of the Lesser Martial Soul True Body. As long as you possess the Martial Soul, it is equivalent to having the Lesser Martial Soul True Body activated at all times, using your trump card as a straight punch."
"I used to only value extreme power, but now it seems I'll have to pick up light and fire from now on."
"Let's fight again when I integrate the power of light and fire into my fifth spirit ring."
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "I couldn't be happier."
Shrek Academy, under the Golden Tree.
"The Holy Father is now only one step away from realizing the plan laid out by the Sea God, so he doesn't have much time to help you."
"Transferring the light power from the Sea God Martial Soul is the limit that can be achieved at present."
Ah Yin in the Golden Tree said this to Chen Fuhai.
Since Chen Fuhai lost his Holy Dragon Martial Soul several months ago, Ah Yin urgently contacted Tang Hao, who was vying for control of Douluo Star's will.
Tang Hao didn't have time to say more, so he could only use his half-baked abilities to transfer the light element from the Sea God Martial Soul.
It was because of this action that the rebellious Douluo Star will seized the opportunity and dealt Tang Hao a severe blow.
Ah Yin had no way to contact Tang San, so she had to make this decision herself.
She didn't know if this approach was right or wrong, but given the current situation, it seemed to be the best solution.
Because Chen Fuhai's soul came from the body of the High Priest of the Sea God, and Mu En's body possessed the Holy Dragon Martial Soul of Light, Tang Hao was able to transfer the power of light from the Sea God Martial Soul using his half-baked abilities.
Both of these factors are indispensable; neither can be achieved without the other.
Now, the Sea God Martial Soul that was originally part of Chen Fuhai's body is only pure water element.
Chen Fuhai bowed deeply to the golden tree: "Thank you, Holy Father, thank you, Holy Mother."
"Now my power of light comes from the Sea God's Martial Soul, so from now on, Mu En will be a loyal servant of the Sea God."
Tang Hao had neither the time nor the ability to mold this power of light into a Holy Dragon of Light.
Chen Fuhai's current martial spirit can be seen as an incomplete version of the Sea God martial spirit.
He couldn't use any of his water elemental abilities, nor did he possess his original soul skills, and he couldn't even acquire a soul ring.
This was a situation that Ah Yin had not anticipated at all.
Even so, it's still much better than leaving Chen Fuhai in the awkward situation of having no martial spirit to use.
Because Chen Fuhai is now capable of suppressing Soul Masters below the Limit Douluo level.
"It just so happens that Yan Shaozhe, who went missing a while ago, has come back on his own."
Chen Fuhai said, "I can test him to see if he can rule the world like Mu En."
"And then there's Beibei. His Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul possesses the power of light. Mu En must have given him a lot of extra training before."
"One of them is a Phoenix of Light, and the other is a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus with the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light. They will definitely have some tricks up their sleeves."
Ah Yin did not respond to Chen Fuhai again, but instead focused on fighting against the will of the Golden Tree.
Outside the golden tree, Xuanzi was looking at Ma Xiaotao with a worried expression.
"Elder Long, and Shao Zhe too."
He hesitated before asking, "Is it really okay to let Xiao Tao become a Soul Saint right now?"
"Her evil fire will increase with her strength. I'm afraid that after she becomes a Soul Saint, she will completely lose the means to suppress herself."
Since Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit was unsealed, she has been frantically improving her strength.
Especially after Long Xiaoyao joined Shrek Academy a few months ago, and Yan Shaozhe returned, the two of them devoted all their resources to nurturing Ma Xiaotao.
Even Moon seemed to be subtly pushing things along from behind the scenes.
Finally, thanks to their tireless efforts, Ma Xiaotao, who was originally at the peak of level 68, quickly reached level 69.
Then Yan Shaozhe took out the pills he had obtained during his disappearance, which surprisingly enabled Ma Xiaotao to recover her health in just a few months.
I've reached level 70.
Now, Ma Xiaotao only needs to obtain a soul ring to become an unprecedented Soul Saint member of the Soul Master Competition.
When asked where he had gone during his disappearance, Yan Shaozhe only said that he had unfortunately encountered several evil spirits and suffered serious injuries after a fierce battle with them, so he had to rest for a long time.
Seeing Yan Shaozhe take out the bones that, even though they had been dead for a long time, were still entwined with an extremely evil aura, Shrek Academy believed his explanation.
Yan Shaozhe respectfully replied, "Elder Xuan, Xiao Tao is my disciple, so naturally I would not harm her."
Xuanzi was still worried about Yan Shaozhe, whose strength had greatly increased after his disappearance.
Long Xiaoyao then said, "Xuanzi, my Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul also has some suppressive power against evil fire."
"In addition, Mu En has now recovered some of his strength. Although he is still in seclusion, given his speed, he should be able to fully recover by the end of the Soul Master Competition."
"As for Xiao Tao during the Soul Master Competition, Shao Zhe and I will take care of her."
"After the Soul Master Competition ends, with the two of us at the Limit and the one at the Super level working together, Xiao Tao's evil fire won't cause too much trouble."
"The situation the college is facing now is extremely dangerous."
After listening to what Long Xiaoyao and Yan Shaozhe had to say, Xuanzi let out a long sigh.
"Shrek's eternal glory is being trampled on," Yan Shaozhe said.
"No Soul Saint student has ever participated in the competition before. Xiao Tao's participation as a Soul Saint will be a powerful boost to morale."
"So what if Imperial Academy has three ultimate martial souls? Based on the cultivation speed of ultimate martial souls, Su Tong will at most be a Soul Master, while Huo Yuhao and Gu Mingxi will be Soul Venerables."
"They pose no threat whatsoever to Xiao Tao, who is at the Soul Saint level."
"Even if Su Tong and Huo Yuhao have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they can't cause any trouble in front of Xiao Tao's Martial Soul True Form."
Then Yan Shaozhe rolled his eyes, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
He said, "Elder Xuan, I think I know how we should deal with the Three Limits of the Heavenly Soul Empire."
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi asked in confusion, "What method do you have? Where on the continent are there still Limit Douluos?"
"It's not available on the mainland, but that doesn't mean it's not available overseas."
Yan Shaozhe quickly responded: "The high priest of Seagod Island will definitely have the combat power of a Limit Douluo."
"As long as we set sail to find Poseidon Island, it shouldn't be difficult to get its help, given Shrek's connection to Poseidon."
Long Xiaoyao supported Yan Shaozhe's proposal.
Xuanzi's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
Long Xiaoyao is currently the honorary dean of Shrek Academy. Although he does not have the direct power to manage the academy, his opinions will be an important reference for the Sea God Pavilion.
"The matter of setting off to find Poseidon Island must be consulted with Elder Mu and decided upon at the Poseidon Pavilion meeting."
Finally, Xuanzi responded in this way.
The Douluo Star Dimension.
"Why is that radiant phoenix calling me again?"
Tang Hao desperately resisted the attack from the Douluo Star plane's will: "What is this now!? Didn't I already give her the exploding ring?"
"Huh, why would a phoenix of light want to refine a water elemental treasure?"
"Never mind, she's a spy for the mistress, and also a kind and benevolent phoenix. Let's help her if we can."
As Tang Hao responded to Ye Xishui's call, he was seized by the Douluo Star Plane's will and severely beaten until he vomited blood.
The ocean, a lonely island.
Ye Xishui watched the Demon Emperor continuously refining Chen Fuhai's body, her eyes flashing with various schemes.
After conquering Poseidon Island, she and the Demon Emperor immediately rushed to Chen Fuhai's secluded training ground.
To their shock, they discovered that Chen Fuhai was actually "dead".
After a collective study by the Holy Spirit Church, they finally determined that Chen Fuhai was not really dead.
Instead, his soul was extracted, but his body was still able to maintain a passive counterattack posture.
For some reason, the light within his Sea God Martial Soul seemed to have been forcibly stripped away by some force.
It was precisely because of this that the Demon Emperor was given the opportunity to use the power of the Holy Emperor to forcibly refine the sacred water element in Chen Fuhai's Sea God Martial Soul.
Recalling her call to the Holy Emperor that day, Ye Xishui believed that the Holy Emperor might have taken action in the God Realm.
Furthermore, the Holy Emperor also diverted the Sea God's attention, leaving him no time to focus on the mortal realm.
"According to the news Zhongli Wu brought back when he returned, there are now three Limit Douluo in the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"This is hardly a good thing for the Holy Church's plan to return to the mainland."
Watching Chen Fuhai's last bit of power being completely refined by the Demon Emperor, Ye Xishui said, "Now that we helped you destroy Seagod Island, it's time for you to repay us."
"According to our plan, Shrek Academy will soon come to Seagod Island for help."
"Then you will disguise yourself as the High Priest of the Sea God, and go back with them."
The Demon Emperor slowly stood up.
Originally exuding the aura of a violent deep-sea demon whale, she now carries a subtle, sacred quality.
With the help of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Demon Emperor successfully refined Chen Fuhai's incomplete Sea God Martial Soul.
"I know," the Demon Emperor replied. "I will go to Shrek Academy."
After Ye Xishui left, the Demon Emperor directly disappeared into the vast ocean.
In the deepest part of the ocean, she opened her mouth and spat out a whale pearl.
As the whale pearl was expelled, the Demon Emperor's divine aura disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of violence.
The Demon Emperor looked at the whale pearl with an extremely complex expression.
"Old man, I've already refined Chen Fuhai's Sea God Martial Soul into your possession."
"The reason Ye Xishui sent me to Shrek Academy was simply to discard me after I'd served my purpose."
Even with the Holy Emperor intervening to restrain the Sea God, Ye Xishui was still afraid.
She feared that the Sea God might one day find some free time and descend through the refined martial spirit of Chen Fuhai.
If the Demon Emperor is left in the Holy Spirit Cult, this will be the biggest hidden danger.
Therefore, Ye Xishui wanted the Demon Emperor to go to Shrek Academy, so that even if the Sea God descended, it wouldn't affect the Holy Spirit Cult too much.
The descent of the gods would greatly deplete the life force of the high priest.
When the sea god arrived at the sea in the body of the demon emperor, the demon emperor died.
At that time, the sea god will have no choice but to return to the realm of gods.
Poseidon Island has been destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult. Now it is deserted, and Poseidon can no longer pass through there to join the Douluo Continent.
Even if Shrek's Huang Chengshu was transplanted by the Sea God himself, so what if the Sea God had the means to do so?
Ye Xishui Xiangren, relying on the Holy Emperor's restraint on the Sea God in the God Realm, and her plundering of Sea God Island during this period, she became a god.
When Ye Xishui first called upon the Holy Emperor, she sensed that he had transmitted the explosive ring to her through a medium far exceeding that of the inter-elemental connection.
Ye Xishui knew that it was the legendary divine position.
Therefore, she believed that the Holy Emperor wanted her to become a god.
For Ye Xishui, as long as the Demon Emperor, this ticking time bomb, is dealt with, the future will be bright.
The Demon Emperor was unaware of the situation between Ye Xishui and the Holy Emperor.
But she knew that Ye Xishui was definitely afraid.
"Ye Xishui thought I had refined the Sea God Martial Soul, but she didn't know that I had given all that power to you."
"If one day the sea god really does descend through you...
The Demon Emperor gently stroked the whale pearl: "When the time comes, I will use every means to obtain your whale pearl."
They perished together, carrying with them a wisp of the sea god's divine will.
"So, this is a different kind of way of letting you 'kill' the sea god, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry, I can't possibly attack the realm of gods, and I can't personally kill the sea god to avenge you."
"This is the only way I can offer some solace to your departed soul."
"Don't worry, Lan Fuzi. I've hidden her very well. No one will be able to find her."
