Before Xuan Zi and the rest of the elders could react, Huo Yuhao made his move.
Domain Expansion - Infinite Tsukuyomi!
The entire Sea God Island erupted in a blinding white light, so intense that it struck not only their sight but all other physical senses, including the sixth sense. For a brief moment, every person on the island, and even Dai Mubai, felt their minds go completely blank.
"M-My eyes! I can't see!"
"What did he do?! I-I can't feel anything! What did that demon do?!"
"How is this possible?! I was circulating my soul power the entire time alongside a defensive-type soul tool!"
'Incredible.' Dai Mubai's eyes widened in disbelief, his body now exuding a hint of divine power to set off the spiritual domain's influence upon him. 'To trap so many Titled Douluos in his domain, especially me, his spiritual power is half a step away of reaching Divine Consciousness!'
To say he was shocked was an understatement, he was utterly dumbfounded!
According to what he had gathered this descendant of his wasn't even twenty years old yet! No, he was around 15 years old!
A 15 year old with Titled Douluo, no, a Limit Douluo combat strength?! Who would believe such crap!?
When he was at that age he was only a Soul Elder!
The moment they regained their senses, a massive red moon with strange markings all over it appeared high in the sky above Sea God Island. Its eerie, red hypnotic light bathed everything in an ethereal glow.
The Ancient Golden Tree was no more. It was replaced by a strange looking tree, no, more like a massive root with a lotus flower waiting to bloom.
"Attack!"
No one amongst them was an inexperienced warrior. Each and every single one of these fellows had once been hailed as great geniuses with some being former Shrek Seven Monsters. They didn't waste the moment of recovery and immediately launched an attack on Huo Yuhao.
Dozens of black soul rings and some red soul rings lit up simultaneously. The sheer pressure of their soul skills that were at least at 8th ring had caused space around them to distort as they were all locked-in attacks that were hard to dodge or block.
Yet, unnoticed by them, their eyes had turned hazy and a shade of purple to resemble the Rinnegan.
The soul skills that were about to descend upon Huo Yuhao quickly dissipated.
"..."
The elders went still for a few moments before falling down.
"Fall into a deep sleep," Huo Yuhao muttered as the branches of the God Tree in his domain wrapped around the falling gently yet firmly suspending them in mid-air and wrapped them completely into cocoons.
Everything went silent for a moment.
In a single move he had completely immobilized almost the entire elite forces of Shrek Academy. Their minds were completely lost in the most beautiful dreams Infinite Tsukuyomi could craft: dreams of past glory, reunion with lost loved ones, or the fulfillment of their deepest desires.
All the while Huo Yuhao slowly drained their soul power.
They would be called lucky. If they weren't brainwashed by the enemy and are acting not of their own choice, Huo Yuhao would've severed all ties he had with them and either drained them of everything that they had or turn them into mindless puppets.
Now, only Xuan Zi and Dai Mubai remained. The former looked completely pale face and awful, beads of cold sweat covered his face.
He held his head tight, his eyes dazed, and he began to mutter incoherently.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's all my fault... It's all...my fault..." Unexpectedly, the trident mark on his forehead began flickering.
'Huh? Elder Xuan is experiencing a nightmare?' Huo Yuhao was surprised. 'Could it be...the mistakes he made in the past?'
'I see. His deepest desires would be to meet the ones he failed and properly apologize to them, but since he isn't mentally ready, it caused him to experience a nightmare.'
Dai Mubai raised his trembling hand, feeling the pull of the domain calling for his slumber.
"Incredible. I've seen many domains through the years. The Angelic Domain, Asura Domain, Sea God Domain... Those were the domains that really left an impression on me in my mortal days that I couldn't shake off even now."
He clenched his fist, an imposing aura erupted from his body.
"Stand proud, Dai Yuhao. Your domain feels like an equal to those domains. If you continue getting stronger, I wouldn't be surprised if your accomplishments would be no less than third brother.
Hahahaha! Thinking that a descendant of mine would become a powerful God, it just feels me with so much pride and joy that I can't help but laugh!"
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashed.
"Judging by that divine aura on you, and the way you're speaking.... are you Dai Mubai?"
Dai Mubai grinned and clenched his fist, shattering the suppression of Huo Yuhao's domain. "Correct. Boy, I'll give you a choice."
"Submit obediently and accept your punishment... Or don't, and I'll make sure you can't move for a couple of years."
Huo Yuhao coldly snorted. He didn't give a response and inwardly commanded the Susanoo.
Its yellow eyes lit up and took a step forward. Despite its massive figure, it moved with terrifying speed and grace, crossing the distance in an instant. The ground shattered beneath its feet as the colossal blue Susanoo swung its gigantic blade downward, black Amaterasu flames roaring along the edge.
"Hahahaha! Nice kid! Going for the offensive like that is the way of the Dai!" Dai Mubai's expression turned fierce. Soul power interlaced with divine power surged violently from his body as he punched forward. Nine colorful soul rings manifested around his body: black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!
His third, fifth, and seventh soul rings all lit up simultaneously. They were respectively; White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Devilgod Transformation, and White Tiger True Body.
The White Tiger martial soul comes from a very long lineage, longer than even ten thousand years, thus their soul skills have almost stayed the same through the generations.
He transformed into a colossal white tiger, roaring as he clashed head-on with the descending blade.
BOOM!!!
The violent collision sent shockwaves across the entire illusory domain. Cracks appeared in the sky and the God Tree trembled, but the Infinite Tsukuyomi held strong.
Xuan Zi, still trapped in his personal nightmare, collapsed to his knees, muttering broken apologies as tears streamed down his face.
"You have spirit, boy!" Dai Mubai laughed wildly, letting out ear-shattering roars. "But do you really think that this would be enough to harm a God?!"
"I don't care whoever the hell is in that body right now and whatever reason you have trying to fight me," Huo Yuhao remained expressionless inside the Susanoo's head. "All I care about, is that he's the deadbeat piece of shit that left me and my mom to die."
The Susanoo's left hand suddenly moved. Its lightning sword shifted, a massive ethereal bow formed in its grip as it drew back a blazing arrow of concentrated crimson heavenly lightning mixed with Amaterasu flames.
The hairs on the massive white tiger's fur stood on end as it sensed the terrifying destructive power contained within that arrow. Even with his divine consciousness strengthening the body, Dai Mubai felt a real threat from the technique.
His first and second soul rings lit up consecutively, a bright yellow barrier covered his entire body as a ball of light converged in his mouth.
"ROOOAAARRR!!!"
It opened its jaws wide and unleashed a intense light that can blow anything obstructing it away with its force of impact.
BOOM!!!
The collision between the Amaterasu-infused lightning arrow and the divine tiger roar created a massive explosion that shook the entire Infinite Tsukuyomi domain. Cracks spiderwebbed across the illusory sky once more as black flames and golden light clashed violently.
'H-Holy shit! Was that a bolt of Heavenly Tribulation? Heavenly lightning?! Why the fuck could he summon something like that?!' Dai Mubai's widened like saucers. Because what the hell was that?!
No one, no mortal, should be able to control a bolt of Heavenly Tribulation! That was a trial sent by the universe to test a mortal's ascension to a higher state of being, or otherwise known as Godhood. The ones who could wield such power are those like the Thunder God.
A God! Not a mortal.
Although it seemed like Dai Mubai had easily blocked it, it took about 20% of his divine consciousness for the lightning to not destroy his host's body!
Huo Yuhao's expression remained ice-cold. He didn't give Dai Mubai any breathing room.
The blue Susanoo nocked three more arrows simultaneously on the massive bow and released them in rapid succession. Each arrow carried spiraling black flames and crackling lightning, turning the sky above the God Tree into a storm of destruction.
'Fuck!' Dai Mubai's eyes twitched as he was forced into a defensive position.
The White Tiger True Body grew even larger as he activated his full strength within the limited mortal vessel. Golden runes lit up across the white tiger's body as he swatted away two arrows with his claws while dodging the third with explosive speed.
"Not bad! Not bad at all!" Dai Mubai's voice boomed. "Descendant! From what I've learned, this vessel of mine, your father, isn't great. However, he is still your father! Remember, blood is thicker than water!
I understand where you're getting this from, believe me, my father wasn't great either. But I still chose to connect with him! And your father? He wants to reconnect with you! He wants to apologize, to make up all the mistakes he made, and he wanted forgive you for what you've done.
Let go of your hatred, your anger, your vengeance! Become a better man than he was. Become the young man your mother had wanted you to be!"
Huo Yuhao stared at him. "...."
Domain Expansion - Perpetual Ice!
Domain Expansion - Yin-Yang Saint Crane!
'Ah, shit.' Dai Mubai's eyes widened as two more domains had stacked together.
Another moon and a scorching sun appeared, white and black feathers fell from the sky. Everywhere around him had almost instantly been covered with ice and snow.
Dai Mubai grunted,
"Alright, time to get serious then."
Domain Expansion - War God's Domain!
