After this one foot had gone down, Huo Yuhao was no longer able to control the Great Buddha's movement. He just let the huge body lean forward and fall down.
A figure wrapped in a bright yellow halo of light swiftly swept him up into the high sky. The old man's face was filled with a complex expression.
This person was precisely the former vice pavilion master of the Sea God Pavilion, who had not long ago become the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Xuan Zi.
He should have, with one hand, crushed the youth in the crook of his arm to repay Shrek's kindness of nurturing him. But with countless souls of the dead continuously rising from below and drilling into his body, desire had in the end overcome reason.
Elder Xuan was so exhilarated he couldn't help but let out a moan.
So, to wantonly devour was actually so wonderful.
A group of experts from the Holy Spirit Cult gathered at Huo Yuhao's position. Everyone had more or less been injured. Fortunately, they were all experts at the Titled Douluo level and would not be affected by the aftershocks of the earthquake.
Although this was the perfect time to retreat, how could an evil soul master possibly let go of such a delicious moment to devour the wandering dead? One after another, all manner of bizarre and sinister soul-sucking techniques were unleashed, completely consuming the vengeful spirits of the fallen from the allied forces.
Compared to the wild joy that was overflowing on the faces of the other experts of the Holy Spirit Cult, the gaze with which Zhongli Wu was looking at Huo Yuhao seemed to have something more. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao's soul power and spiritual power had been completely exhausted. The Eye of Destiny on his forehead had closed again. He had not been able to see the complex look in Zhongli Wu's eyes.
This Holy Son had brought him too many surprises. Just from Huo Yuhao's move just now, this Holy Son had undoubtedly already mastered the seed of life of the Douluo Continent.
Zhongli Wu, who had been dealing with the aura of destruction and evil all along, how could he not understand what the seed of life meant?
If...
The shaking of the great earth had lasted for a full hour. Besides a portion of the soul masters who could fly, the allied forces on Shrek's side had almost been completely wiped out.
Yan Shaozhe and a group of Shrek's experts all had a look of their eye sockets being completely red. The destruction of Shrek had brought them too great a shock, so great that it was hard for them to bear.
Many of the Sea God Pavilion's elders were even more so ashen-hearted. Shrek was their home. Now that the home they relied on for survival was gone, one by one they had immediately lost the thought of wanting to live.
And in the sky, several thousand meters above Shrek's territory, two figures stood in opposition.
"Xishui, is this what you hoped to see?"
Long Xiaoyao's face was mournful. The only power on the continent that could check and balance the Holy Spirit Cult had been ruthlessly erased. Just now, he had still wanted to rush down and join forces with Mu En to fight against Huo Yuhao's Thousand-Hand Great Buddha, but had been ruthlessly stopped by Ye Xishui.
"Hehehe... are you mad, Xiaoyao? The Great Buddha that even Mu En in his peak period could not resist, what is the use of you going?" Ye Xishui was very beautiful. It was just that the madness that was overflowing on her face had twisted this beauty. "The Holy Son is the hope of my Holy Spirit Cult. Are you going to personally destroy my painstaking efforts?"
Hearing her words, Long Xiaoyao opened his mouth. He had in his life let down Mu En, and had let down the woman before him even more. Even if he were to be in the company of evil, he still wanted to atone for his past mistakes.
So he had, time and time again, tolerated the Holy Spirit Cult doing evil and had created one after another of a tragic scene of a river of blood. But this time, the actions of the Holy Spirit Cult had undoubtedly touched his bottom line. He even had an incomparable desire to kill the Huo Yuhao in Elder Xuan's arms and to cut off the future of the Holy Spirit Cult.
However, in this operation, Ye Xishui was precisely the one that Zhongli Wu had specially invited to stop him. No matter what his mood was at the moment, it was absolutely impossible for him to make a move on this woman.
Of course, what he didn't know was that this move of Ye Xishui's had just happened to have saved an old life of his. Mu En, who had recovered his peak and had once again taken a step forward, on the contrary, could not be resisted. Even if a Long Xiaoyao were added, what could he do?
"Forget it, forget it..."
Long Xiaoyao let out a long sigh up to the sky. With Huo Yuhao's speed of improvement, in less than five years, the ruler of this continent would be none other than him. At that time, he, this Limit Douluo, would probably not even be put in his eyes.
...
Elder Xuan, holding Huo Yuhao, seemed to sense something. He let out a cold snort and turned his head toward the figures sweeping in from the horizon.
"Huo Yuhao! You have destroyed my Shrek! Today, even if it costs us our lives, we will erase you from this world!"
Yan Shaozhe, Cai Mei'er, Elder Song, Elder Zhuang, and a group of Sea God Pavilion elders came surging forth in fury. One after another, without hesitation, they ignited the flames of their own lives—and from the very first strike, they unleashed their most powerful soul skills.
"Hmph, you think this old one is just for show?" Elder Xuan handed Huo Yuhao over to an evil soul master by his side and, together with Zhongli Wu, blocked before the few people.
The momentum of a demigod suddenly burst out, which made Yan Shaozhe and the few others show a look of horror. When had the Holy Spirit Cult gotten another Limit Douluo who was not inferior to Mu En?
It wasn't until they had seen clearly Elder Xuan's face that one after another of a cry of surprise had in an instant echoed through this sky.
"Elder Xuan?"
"How can it be you?"
Elder Xuan's face did not change. He indifferently gazed at this group of juniors with whom he had spent his days and nights in the past. "This old one is now the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. You cannot move against my cult Holy Son. Give up."
"For the sake of our past friendship, this old one will let you off the hook. Go."
"Elder Xuan, what do you mean by this?" Yan Shaozhe's pupils were as if spitting fire. He roared at Xuan Zi with unwillingness, "For you to act in this way now, are you worthy of the teacher's cultivation?"
"How this old one acts is not for you to criticize," a slight fluctuation appeared in Xuan Zi's eyes. "By joining the Holy Spirit Cult, this old one has finally and completely awakened the true power of this Taotie martial soul. It is by no means something that can be experienced by submitting to Shrek."
"Since Elder Xuan insists on this, then we can only treat you as a traitor!" Elder Lin was more heartbroken for the treasures she had spent her whole life scraping together from all over the continent than for the destruction of Shrek. The Treasure Pavilion back then had been founded by her. That was Shrek's ten-thousand-year accumulation! Thus, Elder Lin's anger was not in the least bit less than Yan Shaozhe's and the others'.
In the past, Elder Xuan had led the Shrek Supervision Group on several missions and had neglected his duties, which had led to the death of countless inner court disciples. It could be described as a crime of all sorts. It was only because of his cultivation that all the elders had had no choice but to pardon his mistakes. In the Sea God Pavilion's meeting, it was also Elder Mu who had gone against all opinions and had chosen him as the first successor of the Sea God Pavilion.
However, he, who had been showered with thousands of partialities, had actually chosen the Holy Spirit Cult?
So a group of the original Sea God Pavilion's elders couldn't help but fly off the handle.
Even if it meant staking this old life, they had to swallow this traitor alive and skin him!
Even though Elder Xuan had done nothing in this war, at this moment he had successfully ascended to the top of Shrek's hatred list, directly squeezing out the Holy Son, Huo Yuhao.
"Elder, I must trouble you with this place," Zhongli Wu gave Xuan Zi a slight bow. The souls of the dead had already been gathered, and there was no further reason to remain. The Holy Spirit Cult's experts had expended much in the earlier fierce battle. If they were to clash to the death with Shrek's group now, it was very likely that several of their own would be slain. That was something he absolutely wished to avoid.
"Don't worry. Go," Elder Xuan waved his hand. He took a step forward, shaking out one after another of a ripple in the void. Now he was a Limit Douluo. As long as he wanted to leave, even if Yan Shaozhe and the others were to self-destruct one after another, it would be impossible to stop him.
"Let's go."
Zhongli Wu took Huo Yuhao, issued a command to a group of Holy Spirit Cult experts, and quickly withdrew.
"Evil spirits, do not flee!"
Yan Shaozhe's eyes were red. He was about to chase after them but was blocked by a bright yellow light shield released by Elder Xuan. Even his soul power circulation was as if it had stagnated.
Is this the ability of the Taotie Divine Ox's evil transformation? Elder Song and Elder Lin looked at each other, and both saw the gravity in each other's eyes. This person, Elder Xuan, his character might not be likable, but his strength was first-class and powerful.
Zhongli Wu's group had an advanced flying soul tool provided by the Illustrious Virtue Hall. Their flying speed was not something that the Shrek experts of the same level, who rejected soul tools, could compare to. Even if Yan Shaozhe and the others were to chase hard now, it would be impossible to catch up—
Huo Yuhao's consumption was too great, and had even injured his origin. For him to forcefully use his two damaged martial souls, even with the vast life primordial power of the two great ferocious beasts supporting him, to use the Thousand-Hand Great Buddha and the Majestic Armor was still too much for him.
He had directly fallen into a deep coma.
It was just that the next time he woke up, there would no longer be that yandere girl silently guarding by his side, her long, drooping hair gently brushing against his cheeks.
In a small town a thousand li away from the place where the war had broken out, a mature and charming woman, with a couple, had found a hotel and had stayed.
"You two, if there are no accidents, Yun'er should have already gone to the Sun Moon Empire for further study. In a few days, I will also set off for the Sun Moon Empire."
Mu Jin smiled radiantly at the couple, and then immediately added in her heart, "To find my little man."
