"Tch, don't use that as an excuse."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's cautious demeanor, Xue Di couldn't help but chuckle.
She reached out and gently pinched Huo Yuhao's nose, then said with a coquettish smile, "Do I look like the kind of unreasonable woman who's so jealous?"
Not to mention, after spending these past few days together, I have a full understanding of your abilities. But to be honest, with your physique, I really can't suppress you on my own.
Xue Di was completely unprepared for the fact that Huo Yuhao's physical abilities were now far more abnormal than she had learned from the shared memories.
This series of matches over the past few days, if it weren't for the fact that it was a sparring session with special significance between the two of them, would have been a remarkable feat.
She almost considered calling out Hyotei halfway through to have him back her up.
Even Xue Di found it hard to imagine how that woman named Ya Li could manage to suppress Huo Yuhao for a period of time, just as Bing'er had described.
Isn't this strength a bit too astonishing?
Thinking about her defeat in this aspect, Xue Di's face flushed slightly again, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Alright, don't look at me like that. Since you're in a hurry to leave, let me help you change your clothes, and then we can get down to business."
However, during the process of helping Huo Yuhao change his clothes, the two inevitably had some physical contact.
That special feeling of spiritual energy vibration spread throughout her body again. Xue Di, wanting to check his condition one more time before leaving, also endured the discomfort that came from her body.
With a flicker of his eyes, he pressed his body against him again, carefully examining the flow of his spiritual energy.
"Ugh, it's so cold! Why did our ancestor stay down there for so long? Hachika, do you know what happened down there?"
Youyou couldn't help but rub her little hands together.
The valley, which was originally affected by the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul and was extremely cold and hot all year round, is now completely covered by ice and snow.
Except for a few ice-attribute herbs that appeared exceptionally vibrant, the other herbs shivered under the influence of this extreme ice and snow, their leaves covered in frost.
Especially the Fiery Apricot Blossom, with its familiar icy and snowy aura, instantly reminded her of her tragic experience with a certain icy and snowy woman.
This terrifying memory, which can be described as a psychological trauma, has made her even more listless at this moment.
The corners of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass's mouth twitched unconsciously. She naturally knew a little about Huo Yuhao's purpose in returning to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which was to awaken the sleeping Snow Emperor.
Given Xue Di's usual aloof and proud yet possessive nature, after learning about the various events that happened after Huo Yuhao's reincarnation, as well as the flowers and plants around him, she has probably already indulged herself to the fullest these past few days beneath the frozen lake.
Thinking of this, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass couldn't help but feel a sense of envy that was hard to describe.
Sadly, her true form was always just a blade of grass.
With her current cultivation level, she is still willing but unable to fight against others, and is completely unable to engage in high-intensity combat.
"Youyou, stop making wild guesses. Yuhao is definitely busy with important matters down there—"
Although that's what she said, when the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass responded, her tone still sounded unusually guilty, and her eyes unconsciously darted away a few times.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere didn't last long.
A crisp cracking sound suddenly came from the ice surface, immediately attracting the attention of all the immortal herbs.
Seeing the white-haired boy leap out of the broken ice hole, Youyou was so excited that she tumbled and crawled, wishing she could rush forward and kiss Huo Yuhao's toes on the spot.
"Our ancestor, you've finally come out! If you had come out any later, we would all have been frozen stiff by this sudden chill."
Huo Yuhao looked at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well transformed into a world of ice and snow, and scratched his cheek somewhat embarrassedly.
He and Xue Di were so excited that they got quite absorbed in their sparring match.
To cover up his embarrassment, he could only cough lightly, feigning composure, and awkwardly change the subject: "Ahem—I have successfully taken away the dragon souls below, and it's time to transplant you all out as well."
However, this place is still quite a distance from the core of life. To ensure everything goes smoothly, I need to temporarily relocate you to my demiplane.
"Yay!"
Upon hearing these long-awaited words, the previously listless fairy herbs immediately perked up and cheered.
With the help of the immortal herbs that had transformed into human form, the scene inside the Yin-Yang Well instantly became bustling with activity.
Just like what happened in another universe, the huge valley was quickly cleared of everything, leaving not a single blade of grass behind, and became completely barren.
Although with Huo Yuhao's current cultivation level, these immortal herbs would have a negligible effect on his strength, and could even be considered better than nothing.
Even so, after witnessing this scene with his own eyes, he still felt a strange sense of joy and abundance.
Just then, Zang Xin, who was lightly descending from the cliff, did not seem to care too much about the fact that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had been emptied.
According to the newly reached agreement, the federal government will henceforth only be responsible for protecting the outer perimeter of Devil's Island.
In return, they would receive a batch of byproducts from the immortal herb every so often.
The immortal herbs located near the core of life, nourished by abundant vitality, will not suffer the same devastating damage as before, even if a small portion of their byproducts is taken out.
Overall, this is definitely a win-win situation.
However, after Zang Xin landed, his words, spoken with a solemn expression, caused Huo Yuhao's previously arched brows to furrow immediately.
"Ancestor, according to the latest urgent intelligence, not long ago, the Star Luo Empire suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Dou Ling Empire. Now, the Dou Ling Empire has announced its surrender."
The atmosphere inside the highest meeting hall of the Douluo Federal Parliament was exceptionally oppressive.
Chen Xinjie sat in the main seat, his face ashen as he looked at the illusory figures of the eight legion commanders projected on either side of the conference table below. He spoke in a deep voice: "The fact that the Star Luo Empire relied on two gods to quickly take over the Dou Ling Empire through a surprise attack must be something that everyone here has already obtained."
Similarly, everyone is probably worried about the same thing: after the Star Luo Empire annexed the Dou Ling Empire, will it quickly turn its attention to our Douluo Federation?
At this point, Chen Xinjie paused, took a deep breath, and his tone rose eight octaves, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger that echoed in the conference hall.
"But I want to tell you that this is no longer a simple national war for resources and territory, but a real anti-human act!"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, these two gods who should have been worshipped, actually allowed the Holy Spirit Cult to carry out a wanton massacre within the Douling Empire after it announced its surrender!
Such an outrageous act can no longer be described as war.
As he finished speaking, the projector in the center of the conference table suddenly displayed several top-secret photos that had been taken at great risk by federal intelligence agents on the Douling Continent and urgently uploaded back to headquarters.
The horrific scene depicted in the photo caused the faces of the legion commanders present, all of whom had weathered countless storms and experienced life-or-death battles, to change drastically.
The reaction was most intense, especially from Dong Zi'an, the commander of the Western Legion.
His already somewhat fierce appearance became even more grotesque and terrifying upon seeing the contents of the photo.
As the only one among the eight legion commanders who had no background and relied entirely on his status as a commoner to accumulate military merits and gradually rise to his current position, he deeply abhorred such demonic acts of harming the people and committing inhumanity.
His fiery temper flared up instantly, and he slammed his fist on the table, roaring, "Palace Master Chen, send out the troops!"
"I refuse to believe it! With the Federation's current soul-guided technology, we can't bring those two bastards down from their pedestals and kill them completely? At worst, I'll take my own life first!"
The other legion commanders were equally excited and chimed in with their own words.
Because they are well aware that this is no longer a struggle for national interests, but a battle between good and evil that transcends national borders and is purely about defending the last line of humanity.
If we choose to stand idly by at this point, the Federation will not be far from its demise.
Seeing this, Chen Xinjie solemnly pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued in a slightly hoarse voice: "I know that everyone feels the same way I do right now, angry and sad."
As the Lord of the Temple of War Gods and the current patriarch of the Sea God Clan, I bear an inescapable responsibility for this matter.
I hereby solemnly declare that I will take the lead in breaking the rules set by the ancestors of the Sea God family, and from this day forward, abolish all faith in the Sea God Tang San!
These words shocked everyone present, and some even gasped involuntarily.
But Chen Xinjie ignored everyone's reactions and continued, "At the same time, from this moment on, the Douluo Federation will officially enter the highest state of emergency during wartime, mobilizing all existing forces nationwide in preparation for the inevitable war that is about to begin."
However, in this war, our primary target is not the Star Luo Empire, but the Haotian Sect —
Following this, Chen Xinjie began to slowly recount to everyone the conspiracy that Tang Hao had been secretly plotting to revive Tang San.
Whether it was the Tian Dou City explosion that shocked the continent before, or the ongoing massacre in the Dou Ling Empire.
All these seemingly unrelated tragedies were actually acts of slaughter deliberately created by Tang Hao in order to gather the enormous blood sacrifice energy needed to revive Tang San.
For a moment, the conference hall fell into a deathly silence once again.
They finally understood why Chen Xinjie was willing to bear the infamy of forgetting his ancestors in order to lead the way in breaking the family's millennia-old faith in the Sea God Tang San.
Sitting at the lower right of the conference table, Guo Zhenfeng, the commander of the Northern Army Corps, frowned and asked with a slightly solemn expression, "Palace Master Chen, if what you say is true, then Tang Hao has endured for thousands of years and is very likely to possess the energy level of a second-level god."
With our Federation's current conventional military strength, is it truly possible to counter this? Would it be more prudent to deploy the Eternal Heaven at the outset of the war, striking first and striking decisively?
As a special one among the level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, the explosive power of the Eternal Heaven is completely equivalent to the sum of the other two level 12 cannon shells.
In Guo Zhenfeng's view, unless this powerful weapon is used from the beginning to kill or maim Tang Hao in one fell swoop, it would be impossible to defeat Tang Hao.
Otherwise, even if the Douluo Federation were to use all its resources to fight against them, it would be difficult to contend with them head-on.
"There's no rush for now." Chen Xinjie shook his head. "The technical blueprints for the Dawn Tower provided by Ancestor Lingbing have recently had all their difficulties overcome by the chief researcher of the Federal Research Institute."
With the entire stockpile of Heavenly Forging Metal within the Federal Treasury, mass production can begin immediately. It's time to let those gods exiled from the divine realm taste the wrath of mortals!
Inside the grand hall of Haotian Fortress, the Haotian Sect stands majestically.
Tang Hao, seated at the head of the table, unconsciously tapped the armrest of his chair. His face showed no joy despite having collected enough blood sacrifice energy to "revive" Tang San.
-
Instead, his brows were furrowed, and he had a lingering sense of solemnity.
This was a situation he never expected.
He had always regarded Poseidon, the god of the sea, as his greatest trump card.
The original plan was to have the Abyss Saint King eliminate him in one fell swoop when he descended upon the Douluo plane, thereby obtaining enough Abyss Energy.
However, the evolving situation has now turned this wave of Sedon into the biggest obstacle to his subsequent plans.
Poseidon has been in seclusion for some time now.
After all, if Poseidon hadn't sensed that Tang San was in trouble and found the way to deal with the Abyss Saint King too complicated, he probably would have wanted to cut the Gordian knot and resolve these messes quickly.
Then, they could set off again, heading into the vast depths of the universe to seek an opportunity to break through to the God-King realm.
Although the explosion in Doucheng that day caused heavy casualties, the energy released was actually channeled in batches.
Moreover, thanks to Tang Hao's deliberate concealment, it naturally failed to attract Poseidon's extra attention during his seclusion.
However, once the Blood River God-Slaying Array is activated and the Asura Godhead is triggered, the unique aura belonging to the Asura God will inevitably alarm Poseidon.
When the other party comes out and sees that the Abyss Saint King is so frightened by the God of Destruction that he has already fled Douluo Star with the Abyss Plane.
When he was forced to resort to extreme measures such as sacrificing the blood of millions of people in the Douluo Continent to resurrect his mistress, he had no choice but to do so.
Given Poseidon's temperament and stance, there's a very high probability he'd want to kill himself, the culprit who orchestrated the innocent killings, first.
