Nothing happened.
The heart's blood that Ju Zi had spat onto the Yearning Heartbroken Red had not caused any change.
Seeing this scene, Ju Zi's beautiful eyes first widened fiercely, and then she looked at Huo Yuhao's direction with an apprehensive look. What she saw was the youth's relieved and gratified smile. As smart as she was, she suddenly seemed to have understood something.
Seeing that Ju Zi had not been able to obtain the recognition of the Yearning Heartbroken Red, the pretty faces of the other various girls all changed slightly. The way they looked at Ju Zi also had a slight change.
"Ju Zi, come over. Next one," Huo Yuhao shook his head at them and just called for Ju Zi to go to his side.
Ju Zi's mood was a little apprehensive. Even the steps under her feet were slightly unsteady. And then, Huo Yuhao had taken her small hand.
"Our feelings, do they need the witness of a god?" Huo Yuhao transmitted his voice to her, his face full of a gentle color.
Ju Zi instantly understood his meaning. Her small mouth pouted, and she immediately pounced into his embrace. As smart as she was, how could she not understand Huo Yuhao's intention?
He had been using his own way to urge their growth all along!
Her feelings for him were beyond doubt. This feeling might not be enough for her to give up everything for him, but Huo Yuhao just needed to occupy a certain weight in her heart, and that was enough.
The rest could be her dreams, her family. The only thing Huo Yuhao didn't want was for his women to become love-struck idiots who would disregard everything for love.
Just like the Huo Gua from the original world line, who, just for Wang Dong'er, had been willing to offer up everything, to disregard the high hopes of his Shrek teachers, and to give up the obsession of avenging his mother. What was that?
A person's life has never belonged solely to their lover.
With an uneasy heart, Cui Yejie, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er successively went forward to try and pass the test of the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
"I'll leave them to you," Huo Yuhao bent his head down and lightly touched Ju Zi's delicate lips, patted her shoulder, and then immediately spread his ice-crystal wings and flew towards the outer perimeter.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had decisively handed this important mission to her, the rosiness on Ju Zi's pretty face faded. She nodded heavily in the direction he had left.
Why had Huo Yuhao left here? Of course, it was because the Ten Thousand Demon King was full and had nothing to do.
"Brother Hao... burp—"
Huo Yuhao's jaw almost dropped in surprise. For no other reason than that the Ten Thousand Demon King's human body was several circles larger than before. His belly was high and bulging, like the initial, super-sized version of Xie Huanyue. He walked with a start and a stop.
"You ate all those many Biphosphorus Flowers?"
Huo Yuhao looked around. As far as the eye could see, it was a mess. He couldn't help but put a hand to his forehead.
"Hehe..." The Ten Thousand Demon King scratched his head embarrassedly. Fortunately, he knew to have left some of the Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers that had not yet become soul beasts in this forbidden land. Otherwise, if the poison miasma on the outer perimeter were to be broken in one go, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would be exposed before the eyes of the world.
"Give me a year to digest, and I will be able to become a million-year soul beast!" The Ten Thousand Demon King, without waiting for Huo Yuhao to react, went straight back into his body, leaving only this one confident and resolute sentence.
Feeling his stomach and intestines being instantly filled, and his belly also swelling by a large circle, Huo Yuhao was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. He used his spiritual detection to observe the crowd that was still undergoing the test. The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, was using the dragon soul she had just absorbed to self-heal. The Snow Empress was also absorbing the worldly primordial power in the cold spring.
He immediately took to his heels and ran to a hidden place.
He really couldn't hold it in anymore. He was on the verge of soiling his pants!
This one squat had lasted for half a day.
The foul smell, which was sufficient to kill a person, had merged into the poison miasma, adding a unique flavor for the later explorers.
Just take it as fertilizing the remaining Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers! Huo Yuhao furtively pulled up his pants and returned to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Cui Yejie, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er had not passed the test of the Yearning Heartbroken Red. Fortunately, Ju Zi had told them Huo Yuhao's intention one by one, which had prevented the few girls from letting their thoughts run wild.
Ye Linlin and Meng Hongchen had not yet had a clear person they liked and had not participated in the test of the immortal grass.
Regarding the successive failures of the few girls, the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product was contemptuous of them in its heart. To think that back then, the Buddha, for his little rabbit, had gone through many twists and turns and had finally obtained the recognition of the Yearning Heartbroken Red, achieving a fine story.
However, due to the deterrence of one ferocious beast and one dragon king, they had smartly shut their mouths.
Returning to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Huo Yuhao had directly stated his purpose to these immortal grasses. He was going to turn some of the suitable ones among them into his partners' soul spirits.
At this time, the Snow Empress and Gu Yuena had broken out of their cultivation state and had come to Huo Yuhao's side to support him.
"If you miss this village, there won't be this shop anymore. You immortal grasses who have been kept in captivity, it's time to make your choice."
Ye Linlin and Meng Hongchen were not sure what was going on. They had not yet come into contact with the concept of a soul spirit.
Xie Huanyue, on the other hand, laughed loudly. "I'm finally going to have my own soul spirit!"
To this, the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product said angrily, "We haven't agreed yet!"
"I will make you all acknowledge me."
Huo Yuhao knew that these fellows were the type to not let go of the eagle until they saw the rabbit. His gaze turned to the Gu Yuena at his side. He now needed to do one thing. "Let's begin."
"Are you ready?" Gu Yuena nodded slightly at him without expression and asked.
"Of course. I must take this step."
Huo Yuhao replied with absolute certainty.
On their way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gu Yuena had sensed that the seed of life that had been taken away by Ah Yin had returned to the Douluo plane.
The seed of life belonged to the Douluo nature itself. To ascend to the Divine Realm, it could not be taken away.
Right now, what they had to do was to make Huo Yuhao become the Son of Life, the Son of Nature of the Douluo Continent.
And the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was precisely one of the few places on the continent with a rich life aura. To send out a summons to the plane's seed of life through the Immortal Spirit Wood was most appropriate.
Huo Yuhao, in front of a group of plant-system ferocious beasts, sat down cross-legged on the spot and entered a meditative state.
Gu Yuena and the Snow Empress were standing by his side, feeling the change in his soul power fluctuation.
A gentle breeze of nature brushed past his ear. Breathing in the fragrance of the soil and the fresh scent of the plants, Huo Yuhao's heart quickly calmed down. To be in a treasured land where the life of nature was gathered, it was always so easy to enter a state of selflessness.
Switching to the Immortal Spirit Wood martial soul, the Advent of the World Tree domain was subconsciously opened, instantly encompassing the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well area. Sensing an even richer life aura, the few great immortal grasses immediately became interested in Huo Yuhao.
How does this person have such a strong life affinity?
In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, it was as if one after another of green light spots had quietly lit up. Those were the one after another of plants around him. They had sensed the Immortal Spirit Wood's aura on Huo Yuhao's body and had immediately sent out a cordial signal, responding to each other with him.
A faint, green halo of light emanated from Huo Yuhao's body. His one head of black hair had also gradually turned into the Ten Thousand Demon King's ink-green color. Their auras had fused. It actually gave people a feeling that he himself was a part of nature.
Before the Ten Thousand Demon King had devoured the large patch of ten-thousand-year Biphosphorus Nine Absolute Flowers, Huo Yuhao had not been sure that he could definitely draw out the plane's seed of life.
When the Ten Thousand Demon King soul spirit, by devouring many plant-system soul beasts, had greatly improved the life level of his martial soul, his martial soul had already far surpassed the ultimate wood attribute.
To have broken through the ultimate was to be extraordinary. The wood attribute represented nature. Huo Yuhao had also become the first immortal in the history of the Douluo Continent who could freely control the energy of nature.
Now, he could already directly send out a summons to the core of Douluo, the seed of life.
At this time, Mu En, in the inner court of Shrek, had suddenly discovered that something was wrong.
And that was that the aura of the Golden Ancient Tree where the Sea God Pavilion resided had suddenly become much weaker, as if some inner part of the ancient tree had been drawn away.
"What's going on?" After so many years, this was the first time Mu En had discovered this situation. Logically speaking, the inner court had not suffered a devastating attack. It was impossible for the ancient tree's energy to have been consumed out of thin air!
He hurriedly went deep into the underground root of the ancient tree and was shocked to find that the Golden Tree root, which had originally been radiating with a vigorous life, was slowly withering.
What on earth has happened? Who is trying to seize the life core of my Shrek?
What he didn't know was that everything in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea had turned a rich and brilliant gold. He only felt that countless light spots had integrated into his body. One after another of the Demon Eye tree trunks had swarmed out from his body, deeply rooting into the ground, and had turned the surrounding great earth also into a golden color.
The next instant, Huo Yuhao and his partners were immersed in this golden ocean.
They only felt a warmth all over their bodies, an indescribable comfort.
Huo Yuhao felt his spiritual sea completely liquefy, and a viscous feeling had even appeared. More importantly, his state of mind had also then become clear and transparent, an unprecedented comfort. All sorts of bottlenecks in his previous cultivation were instantly broken through.
It wasn't just him. Even his partners around him were as if they had received the baptism of a higher-level life energy.
Countless soul rings emerged from Huo Yuhao's companions' bodies at the same time. A life aura lingered on their bodies, and the color of their soul rings also began to gradually change.
Under Gu Yuena's intentional guidance, the terrifying life energy that had burst out from Huo Yuhao's body had overflowed to them. Before they had even had time to react, a heaven-and-earth-shaking change had begun to occur on their bodies.
Xie Huanyue's five pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings had instantly turned a blood-red color. His aura at this moment had also crazily soared. A trace of a faint, kingly aura had spread out from his body.
Cui Yejie's first and second soul rings had also completely turned red. At the same time, her stagnant soul power bottleneck had also in an instant completed its breakthrough. Another blood-red, hundred-thousand-year soul ring had appeared at her feet, pulsing up and down with the first four soul rings.
Ning Tian's four soul rings had at this moment all advanced to black, ten-thousand-year soul rings. Although she had not broken through to the Soul King realm, her Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul had on the contrary once again grown a layer, a full nine layers, a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
On Wu Feng's body, on the contrary, a blazing fire was burning. Her first three soul rings had all advanced to ten thousand years. Her fourth soul ring had actually, one step ahead of Ning Tian, turned red. Her red dragon martial soul had also at this moment completed its transformation. Countless black armors had all appeared on the red dragon that was spreading its two wings. This also symbolized that her martial soul had finally completed its evolution. The upper rank of the red dragon, the Red Lotus Dragon King!
Nanmen Yun'er's three soul rings' colors had turned to one purple and two black. Her martial soul, unlike the others that had gotten bigger and stronger, her Jade Azure Bird, on the contrary, had further become smaller, completely turning into a palm-sized, emerald-green bird. Only its beak was red. Gu Yuena, with just one glance, could distinguish what species this was. Wasn't this the Jade Devil Bird, which had been annihilated by the dragon clan to near extinction back then?
Ye Linlin's improvement was not as much as Huo Yuhao's original companions'. Her original two yellow soul rings had both turned purple.
Meng Hongchen was originally a Soul King. Her soul ring's color was the only one that had not changed. But she could feel that the drawback in her martial soul had at this moment completely disappeared. The backlash poison produced by the Cinnabar Clear Ice Toad martial soul in her cultivation had all disappeared. For the rest of her life, she would no longer be disturbed by this potent poison.
If one were to say who, besides Huo Yuhao, had the greatest gain, it was naturally the two girls, Gu Yuena and the Snow Empress. After receiving the baptism of the richest life energy of the entire plane, the injuries that Gu Yuena had suffered had immediately healed by seventy to eighty percent. If she were to face Tang Hao and the others again now, she was confident that she could, with her own strength, suppress the four of them, and not be so restricted as before.
The Snow Empress's gain was not small, but the risk was even greater. The hidden injuries she had left from undergoing her tribulation in her early years had all healed. But she had also reached the bottleneck of seventy thousand years. In less than half a month, she would welcome her seventh great calamity.
The group of plant-system ferocious beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was completely dumbfounded. The scene that was playing out before them was simply a collective ascension!
