Chapter 464 - 465
The God of Destruction was completely numb.
He trembled with anger, pointing his finger at Tang San, his lips quivering, unable to speak. The God of Destruction had been in the Divine Realm for so many years, but he had never seen such a brazenly shameless person.
"The person who destroyed the formation I set up here must be hiding nearby at this moment. This person must be good at hiding. I hope the God of Destruction will take action with me to kill this villain!" Tang San seemed not to see the God of Destruction's expression and said to himself.
As he spoke, he also took out the key to the Divine Realm Center from his bosom and shook it as if no one was around, intending to threaten the God of Destruction.
Seeing that golden key, the God of Destruction's face instantly darkened. As long as Tang San possessed this thing, if he brazenly attacked him, the result would definitely be regarded as rebellion against the Divine Realm.
"What a Sea God, what a Tang San!" The aura of the God of Destruction began to become unstable.
The corner of Tang San's mouth curled up slightly. It didn't matter whether the God of Destruction helped him or not, but if the other party interfered with his actions, it would definitely bring him considerable trouble.
He, Tang San, was the current controller of the Divine Realm, the only successor of the first generation Asura God. So what if he loved to calculate people's hearts? You, the upright and outspoken God of Destruction, are simply not cut out to be in charge of the Divine Realm!
From the moment Tang San and Destruction appeared above the altar, Huo Yuhao used the ability of the Earth Dragon King Soul Bone to escape into the rocks beside him, observing the projections of the two God Kings.
When he saw that it was the God of Destruction who descended with Tang San, Huo Yuhao's mind was still a little active, but he soon noticed the key to the Divine Realm Center in Tang San's hand, and his just-relaxed heart immediately lifted again.
Last time facing the Divine Punishment, it took the faith of the entire Eden Kingdom ruins to barely withstand it. Even if Huo Yuhao was not afraid of this projection of Tang San, the Divine Punishment Tang San could mobilize at any time was not something he could contend with.
At this time, Tang San had already begun to use the Purple Demon Eye to observe the surrounding situation. He wanted to ferret out that person hiding in the dark.
Little did he know that Huo Yuhao's Dragon King Soul Bones had incorporated various laws. Not only did his entire figure merge into the rocks, but even his aura merged completely with the earth and stones, making it difficult to detect.
The only way to force out his main body was indiscriminate attack, but even so, Huo Yuhao had the retreat path of escaping into the Dragon Realm.
What he had to do now was to rescue Qian Renxue under Tang San's nose.
Huo Yuhao was confident that he could protect himself in front of Tang San, but to take action to rescue Qian Renxue, he still had to create an opportunity.
He could wait for the opportunity, but that was not the best approach. Since Qian Renxue had been discovered by the outside world, it was very likely that other variables would occur.
Just as Huo Yuhao was pondering how to create an opportunity, the spiritual brand in the Sea Princess's soul sent him a message.
"Human, I... I beg you, rescue my little daughter."
Huo Yuhao frowned. Is this Sea Princess stupid? With Sea God Tang San's projection coming in person, he couldn't even save Qian Renxue, let alone rescue Mermaid Princess Liya? Tired of living?
"This, I'm afraid, is a bit difficult." Huo Yuhao replied bluntly: "Your most respected Sea God, I believe you have seen his projection. It is he who wants your little daughter's life. accurately speaking, he has taken a fancy to your little daughter's soul ring."
The reason Tang San chose Mermaid Princess Liya instead of the Sea Princess herself was because of Xu Sanshi and Tang Wutong's talents in this life.
Compared to the original timeline, their soul power cultivation had been forcibly raised by several levels. Normally speaking, Tang Wutong, uh, Wang Dong'er and Xu Sanshi should still only be Soul Emperors, representing the Tang Sect to go to Ming Dou to participate in the competition.
But now, these two were already strong Soul Douluos, just without added soul rings.
Raising cultivation excessively like this would inevitably lead to unstable foundations. With their physical fitness, they could at most absorb soul rings produced by hundred-thousand-year soul beasts like the Mermaid Princess sisters.
Tang Wutong's talent was undoubtedly the best among this generation of Shrek Seven Devils, but her character determined her upper limit. What she could achieve in her life was merely a second-level deity.
As for the others among the Seven Devils, they probably would find it difficult to even reach the Ultimate Douluo cultivation in the end.
"As long as you can help me rescue my little daughter, I can agree to anything!"
The Sea Princess was still begging bitterly. She was bound by Sea God Tang San's divine power and couldn't move. For her, Huo Yuhao was now her little daughter's only life-saving straw.
"I know, we offended you earlier. We are willing to apologize to you for our recklessness and compensate you as much as possible. I only ask you to help me rescue my little daughter!"
The Sea Princess's low posture could undoubtedly move any normal person. Huo Yuhao even recalled the scene when he just transmigrated, where Huo Yun'er protected the young him under her body and begged bitterly.
For this reason, Huo Yuhao even used the Dead Silence Heart of the Undead to keep himself absolutely calm. With Sea God Tang San present, he absolutely couldn't act rashly. If not careful, he might lose his life here.
For him, the Sea God Island instance was undoubtedly the most difficult one he encountered on the Douluo Continent. The island was shrouded by the Sea God's divine thought all year round. Any existence wanting to offend this place would be reckoned with by the God King's projection.
Even a projection of Tang San had at least the strength of an ordinary first-level deity.
"Regarding rescuing your little daughter, I can only look for an opportunity. Facing a deity, I can't risk both my life and Xue'er's here." Huo Yuhao responded coldly. Yes, the Snow Empress was still waiting for him on the island. Even for this wife, he absolutely couldn't be reckless.
"Human, can't you show some kindness?" At this time, Mermaid Princess Li Jing's voice transmission through the spiritual link also arrived. Sea God Tang San's descent brought huge encouragement to the Devil Spirit Great White Shark. She was completely suppressed at this time.
"If kindness were useful, this world wouldn't be so cruel."
"You..." Li Jing was exasperated, but Huo Yuhao blocked her voice transmission with a backhand. Any superfluous information might disrupt his judgment of the situation.
At this time, Tang San began to use divine thought to conduct a crazy investigation on the entire Sea God Island. As a result, he only found the Sea Princess and Mermaid Princess Li Jing fighting with the Devil Spirit Great White Shark.
"Impossible. If there are only these two soul beasts, how could they break the formation I set up?" Tang San muttered to himself, frowning tightly, once doubting his intuition.
"You mobilize so many people just to trouble two soul beasts?" The God of Destruction couldn't help sneering on the side. Somehow, watching the usually steady Tang San being puzzled seemed to be a happy thing.
"Destruction, if you don't intend to help, you can return to the Divine Realm now." Tang San glanced at him coldly. With this guy here, many things were inconvenient for him to do openly.
"Hmph, I want to see what powerful character on this Douluo plane can destroy your inheritance place." The God of Destruction looked like he was watching a good show, making Tang San, who couldn't find the culprit, very annoyed.
"Destruction, don't push people too far!" Tang San reprimanded.
"Did I do anything to you?" The God of Destruction still had a calm and composed expression. With him here, every act of Tang San violating the rules of the Divine Realm couldn't escape his dharma eye.
Tang San turned his head hatefully. The intruder hadn't shown up for a long time. The only thing he could do was indiscriminate attack.
He shrouded the entire island with divine thought. Neither human nor god could escape this place without a trace, unless the opponent had heaven-reaching abilities.
Tang San sacrificed the Sea God Trident. With his waving, the space in this area began to collapse continuously. The half-collapsed Sea God Mountain also began to disintegrate. For a time, the entire Sea God Island trembled violently.
At the same time, Tang Wutong and Xu Sanshi could no longer care about participating in the assessment. They must leave here as soon as possible.
"Wutong, I really didn't expect that your father was actually that person..." Xu Sanshi's face was somewhat complex. He initially thought Tang Wutong was the contemporary successor of the Clear Sky Sect. He didn't expect that coming to Sea God Island this time would lead to a shocking truth.
Tang Wutong was the daughter of Sea God Tang San, who was invincible on the continent ten thousand years ago, and Xiao Wu!
This made Xu Sanshi's little heart a bit unbearable. Before this, even if the other party was the most favored little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, Xu Sanshi also had the confidence to get their approval.
But if the target changed to Sea God Tang San, he lost confidence instantly.
Even if he claimed to be a genius, one of the Twin Stars of Shrek Outer Court, one of the last generation Shrek Seven Devils, he would be overshadowed in front of the identity of Sea God Tang San's daughter.
A certain degree of gap between people can be made up, but if this gap is separated by a dimension, it is not something hard work can make up for.
"What, Third Brother is feeling sorry for himself?" Tang Wutong covered her mouth and chuckled, "Actually, my dad is very gentle to people and never uses his identity to oppress others. If you treat me sincerely, he will definitely bless us sincerely."
"Sigh." Xu Sanshi sighed lightly, "I hope so. The current me probably can't enter your father's dharma eye yet."
"It doesn't matter, take your time." Tang Wutong comforted gently: "I believe that one day, Third Brother, you can also become a generation of legends on the Douluo Continent."
The retreating figures of the two fell into the Sea Princess's eyes. She also knew clearly that she, easily manipulated by Sea God Tang San, could give Huo Yuhao absolutely no help.
She wanted to ask Huo Yuhao to rescue Liya, but she couldn't give equivalent remuneration. It could be said that from the beginning, the transaction between the two sides was unequal.
Facing Sea God Tang San who was invincible on the continent ten thousand years ago, who on this continent could say they could defeat him?
"Mom, I'm almost unable to hold on!" At this time, Li Jing also sent a message for help to the Sea Princess. Their Sea Princess lineage could communicate long-distance through telepathy. The news that her little daughter Liya was trapped on Sea God Island back then was also transmitted in this way.
The Sea Princess's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect that coming here this time, not only did she fail to save her little daughter, but even her elder daughter and herself would be sacrificed.
Just at this time, she suddenly remembered the Snow Empress still on the island. Maybe the Snow Empress could ask Huo Yuhao to help her.
Snow Empress, Snow Empress, where are you?
The Sea Princess couldn't make a sound, nor could she move. She could only beg the Snow Empress to discover her situation here. Given their friendship, maybe the Snow Empress could soften her heart and save her.
Just as the Sea Princess was wondering if the Snow Empress could discover her situation here, suddenly, her mind cleared. The Snow Empress seemed to be that Huo Yuhao's wife!
Just not long ago, Huo Yuhao seemed to... also personally removed the shells on her elder daughter Li Jing's chest...
"Human, human, I beg you for the last time. As long as you are willing to rescue my two daughters, I can let both of them marry you!"
The Sea Princess's desperate voice transmission finally entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea word for word. Even in his absolute calm state, he couldn't help his face twitching wildly.
What is this mermaid thinking? Does she really think the beauty trap works on him?
"In our mermaid lineage, the shells on a female mermaid's chest can only be uncovered by the male who loves her most. But you did this to my elder daughter. According to our tradition, she can only be your wife." The Sea Princess continued to add.
What the hell? Is there such a tradition? Why haven't I seen this in the original text?
Huo Yuhao carefully avoided Tang San's indiscriminate bombing, while being shocked by the Sea Princess until his mouth was twisted and eyes slanted. So his seemingly rogue act before inadvertently catered to their tradition?
"If you can help me control Sea God Tang San's daughter and use her as a threat to attract Tang San over, I will be sure to rescue your elder and younger daughters!" Huo Yuhao said grumpily immediately. He knew the Sea Princess was trapped by Tang San, so capturing Tang Wutong and so on was out of the question.
"Is this... your promise?" Hearing this, the Sea Princess was overjoyed instantly. Although they hadn't gotten along for long, she could see that Huo Yuhao was extremely proud and would never go back on his promise.
"What, you can?" This time it was Huo Yuhao's turn to have active thoughts. As long as Tang San's projection could be attracted over for a moment, he dared to try to break the altar's binding on Qian Renxue and rescue the two mermaid princesses along the way.
"No problem." The Sea Princess nodded frantically in her heart. A decisive madness also began to spread in this mother's heart.
Huo Yuhao fell silent. He could feel the change in the Sea Princess's emotions. For a sea soul beast to break free from the Sea God's control, the price paid might be everything she had. Even so, for her daughter, she still resolutely cooperated with Huo Yuhao to do so.
Then the success rate was very slim.
"Senior Sea Princess, please." It was the first time Huo Yuhao used an honorific for her. No matter how the mother and daughter targeted him before, the current Sea Princess was worthy of the role of a mother.
"Human, remember your promise." The Sea Princess's voice suddenly became mournful, and the energy in her body began to riot crazily.
"My name is Huo Yuhao, Demon King Huo Yuhao." At this moment, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate to reveal his real name to the other party.
The Sea Princess, who was tightly bound by the guardians of Sea God Island, suddenly broke free from the shackles. That terrifying cultivation of up to six hundred thousand years erupted completely. With a flash of her figure, she shot towards Tang Wutong and Xu Sanshi not far away.
"Huo Yuhao, treat my daughters well!"
