The moment Huo Yuhao's forehead made contact with the Three-eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye, both of their bodies trembled violently.
A pillar of golden light erupted, piercing straight into the high heavens.
This golden light was like a sharp sword rending the sky, seemingly dividing the firmament in two. Within that light, the faint sound of a dragon's roar echoed! Immediately, the entire Star Constellation Great Forest became bathed in brilliant gold, and life energy erupted outward like a geyser.
Far away at Shrek Academy, in a classroom where he was being scolded by Zhou Yi along with Lan Xuanyu and Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong suddenly let out a sharp cry. He clutched his head in agony and collapsed to the ground.
This gave Zhou Yi and Lan Xuanyu quite a fright, and they hovered around Wang Dong, at a loss for what to do.
Wang Dong felt only pain—a splitting headache, as if his mind were being torn in half, as if something belonging to him was being forcibly partitioned away.
A blue-gold orb of light, carrying a pink-blue soul fragment, abruptly manifested from the void and shot straight toward Huo Yuhao and the Three-eyed Golden Lion.
Electrolux's gaze turned cold. "It's here!"
Just as Baili Du had told him previously, that God King was indeed shameless enough to split his own daughter's divine soul in order to seize the Emperor Auspicious Beast's Golden Dragon bloodline and power of destiny.
Reaching out, a projection of a certain Ultra-Divine Artifact previously sealed deep within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea rapidly appeared in his hand.
"Big bug, let me use your Spiritual Origin!"
Electrolux didn't stand on ceremony with the Skydream Ice Silkworm. He extracted all of the silkworm's spiritual seals and funneled them into the [Ultra-Divine Artifact: Necromantic Heavenly Calamity Magic Staff].
Skydream jumped up and cursed in frustration, "Dammit, old man, you're really ruthless..."
To a God King, an Ultra-Divine Artifact is more precious than life itself—not just because of its rarity, but because of its powerful properties that far surpass ordinary Divine Artifacts. There's a reason Tang San holds onto that golden fishfork and never lets go; it's the same logic.
Although the main body of the Necromantic Heavenly Calamity Magic Staff was in the hands of Baili Du in the God Realm, Electrolux, as the original Holy Necromancer, maintained equal control over the weapon. Since Baili Du needed to protect himself in the God Realm, Electrolux only needed a projection to accomplish his goals here.
However, activating an Ultra-Divine Artifact requires immense power. Electrolux, with only a sliver of divine soul remaining, clearly didn't have such wealth of energy. Don't forget, even Tang Wulin during his Super Douluo period couldn't hold the Sea God Trident for long.
Thus... the Skydream Ice Silkworm brand power bank: everyone who uses it gives it a thumbs up.
The Silver Dragon King's reaction was a beat slow, but she eventually sensed the malice. She drew her Silver Dragon Spear, warily guarding Huo Yuhao and the Three-eyed Golden Lion.
In truth, the Silver Dragon King didn't need to be so tense. Baili Du had given the Three-eyed Golden Lion his natal [Ultra-Divine Artifact: Eye of Eternity]. Although the lion couldn't use most of its effects yet, defending against the intrusion of a God King level Divine Consciousness was absolutely no problem.
But Tang San didn't know that...
While most of his energy was focused on Lan Xuanyu, he truly coveted the Golden Dragon bloodline and the power of destiny within the Three-eyed Golden Lion. Thus, he devised this "stellar substitution" scheme.
If it has my daughter's soul, then it is my daughter.
Flawless logic.
"...I truly could not have imagined such a father exists in this world, actually cutting his own daughter's soul?!"
Electrolux shook his head. "This child is quite pitiful..." He then waved the Necromantic Heavenly Calamity Magic Staff toward the flying soul fragment of Tang Wutong, turning to the dazed Silver Dragon King:
"Does Your Excellency not intend to lend a hand?"
The Silver Dragon King finally snapped out of it. With a cold snort, she thrust the Silver Dragon Spear toward Tang San's Divine Consciousness. A cluster of brilliant silver light enveloped the blue-gold orb.
Electrolux looked at the Silver Dragon King, then at Huo Yuhao, and smiled knowingly. His chanting didn't stop; an arcane magical language used the staff as a medium to resonate with the light elements of heaven and earth.
Instantly, gray-gold flames rose, wrapping around the blue-gold orb, burning quietly yet with searing intensity.
"Ah..."
A miserable scream suddenly rang out but was quickly silenced. The blue-gold orb transformed into a blue-gold silhouette that appeared exceptionally "pure and noble," holding a golden trident. In an instant, countless trident shadows materialized, and circles of golden light wheels descended toward Electrolux, Huo Yuhao, and the Three-eyed Golden Lion.
It was Tang San's specialty: [Unfixed Storm]. However, because it was cast by a mere wisp of Divine Consciousness, it was incomplete.
The Silver Dragon King was no fool. Having pieced together the truth of the situation, she let out a cold snort of disgust. Her Silver Dragon Spear transformed into a staff, and the power of the seven elements erupted like a tsunami, blocking the incomplete [Unfixed Storm].
...
Everything was seen by Baili Du through the Eye of Eternity, and he gave a satisfied grunt.
If Gu Yuena still couldn't distinguish the priority of things at this point, he would seriously have to consider turning her into a soul ring for little Huo...
To repeat: he, Old Huo, had no favorable feelings toward this "Number One Beauty of the Continent."
"Teacher, how is it on your end? Can you hold up?"
Electrolux gave a proud smile. "Rest assured, I am certain no one is my match in the realm of the soul! If I can refine this wisp of a top-tier God King's Divine Consciousness and cultivate for about five years, I should be able to restore the peak of my soul state from when I was alive!"
"Then your disciple congratulates you, Teacher."
The matters of the Douluo Continent could be left to his past self and his teacher. As for now, he was going to enjoy the ugly expression on his dear father-in-law's face.
He estimated the man was currently shouting "You have already found a path to your own death" over there...
In any case, Tang San wouldn't dare descend to the lower realm personally unless he wanted his painstakingly cultivated image to collapse. One must know, the God of Destruction was waiting for Tang San to make a mistake so he could drag him off his pedestal.
For the sake of his image, Tang San could only wear that mask labeled "Pure and Noble." And once a mask is worn for too long, one forgets if it's still their own face...
...
Sizzle... The pure and noble blue-gold figure twisted irregularly. The trident phantom dissipated as gray-gold flames swept over it, burning fiercely.
Under the combined assault of Electrolux and the Silver Dragon King, supplemented by the [Ultra-Divine Artifact: Necromantic Heavenly Calamity Magic Staff], that wisp of Divine Consciousness Tang San had left on his daughter was directly ignited by Electrolux. In the most blazing fashion, it was transformed into the purest Divine Consciousness energy.
Under the envious gaze of the Silver Dragon King, Electrolux swept his staff and took all that pure energy into his possession.
The flames of purification can purify more than just vengeful spirits... Did anyone truly think the Holy Necromancer was just a "nice guy"? If you plot against his disciple, you must pay the price.
On his way to the God Realm Committee, Baili Du almost thought he could hear Tang San's wails...
