Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 205 The Messenger...The Holy Spirit!
"Prepare to land!"

Huo Yuhao looked at the continuous icebergs in front of him and sighed in a deep voice: "The situation is unclear now. We should save the soul guide shield for later, just in case."

Even disregarding the protective performance of the shield itself, the soul power stored within it in advance is a valuable emergency resource, and it's best to save it unless absolutely necessary.

"Ha~"

The auspicious beast responded with a cold laugh, its eerie light pointing towards the soul beast on the distant ice mountain.

A direct collision with an iceberg at nearly 200 meters per second—an impact of that magnitude would require even a Soul Saint to activate their Martial Soul True Body to withstand. Those guys who attacked had no intention of giving them a way out.

If it weren't for their strong physiques, the two of them would have really been defeated here today.

"boom!"

Before the auspicious beast could even ignite a fire, the two of them slammed into the side of the iceberg like cannonballs, creating a near-perfect crater. Scattered ice fragments flew out in a funnel shape, causing the entire iceberg to tremble slightly.

The group of soul beasts lying on the iceberg were all terrified, some even too afraid to look at the horrific scene on the side of the iceberg.

With such a powerful impact, those two humans must have been blown to pieces on the solid ice, frozen into semi-permanent craters.

"Is what we're doing not a good thing...?"

The massive, dark-skinned walrus, holding a golden conch shell, turned to look at the mermaid sitting atop the iceberg.

At this moment, the twelve most powerful individuals in their clan held golden conch shells, forming two concentric circles of six-pointed stars that surrounded the mermaid holding a silver conch shell in the center.

Clearly, the bizarre events just now were their doing.

"We killed people...they died horribly..."

The gentle sea monster held the conch shell and sighed repeatedly. Although its beastly face could not express any emotion, the struggle and regret in its eyes were still palpable.

"Feel sorry."

The mermaid patted its head with a guilty expression: "I didn't expect them to be this fast—but some sacrifices are inevitable to ensure the safety of the seas."

"After all, the safety of the Sea God's messenger is paramount. The ongoing bloodline sublimation ceremony is of utmost importance to our race, and we absolutely cannot allow them to be disturbed! ... Let's continue the no-fly zone."

She felt a pang of guilt over the deaths of the two men, but the thought of the ritual being performed in the tribe helped her feel a little better.

'If we succeed... our people will live in peace and tranquility forever.'

The mermaid, holding the silver conch shell with hopeful eyes, was about to blow it again when a chilling cold, almost fatal, blocked her neck, stopping her in her tracks.

"This mermaid lady..."

Huo Yuhao, wielding a long sword, emerged from the simulated light and shadow: "Why did you attack us for no reason?"

Behind him, the naturally proud mythical beast was even more unwilling to swallow this insult. The terrifying power within its body almost crushed the mermaid from a distance, conveying a suffocating pressure.

"Wait! Don't do it!"

The surrounding sea monsters stirred, dropping their golden conches and raising their flippers: "We surrender...we'll explain! Don't hurt her!"

……

"So you mean a group of people dressed in black robes who don't like to show their faces called themselves messengers of the sea god, and then specifically asked the merfolk to cooperate with the ritual?"

Huo Yuhao read the whole passage aloud, but at the end, he suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason.

After hearing the entire story, the auspicious beast pressed its hand to its forehead, its silence revealing a headache that felt like its head was about to explode.

"What are you saying!" The mermaid was clearly displeased. "Those messengers demonstrated the sea god's favor... the entire sea responded to their call! What do you mean by 'claiming'?"

"According to you—"

The auspicious beast raised its hand somewhat helplessly, revealing the vertical pupil between its brows.

In an instant, the mermaid's vision shifted from her body to black and white, allowing her to survey the entire sea from a detached perspective.

The various soul beasts that lived in groups had been abstracted into various cloud-like air currents, scattered and clustered in various parts of the sea.

'Each cloud symbolizes a people…'

Realizing this, the mermaid immediately looked up in the direction of the sea princess, trying to find the cloud formations of her own kind.

However, what came into view was a dark cloud that had turned pitch black, rapidly dissipating in a funnel shape and surging toward an unknown direction.

"This...this is impossible!"

The mermaid awoke with a start from that dreamlike perspective, turning her head in alarm. Although the remaining power in her spiritual sea was rapidly fading, she still managed to see a fleeting black cloud on the distant horizon.

The sea princess will die.

The entire mermaid race is doomed in this crisis!

The death notices brought by the power of the auspicious beast almost filled her mind, causing her thoughts to freeze: "You're lying to me... right?"

The auspicious beast took a deep breath, picked up the creature in front of it that was almost a useless fish, and used its martial spirit possession for the first time.

Its entire body glowed with light and fire, accompanied by golden scales and fur, naturally exuding an aura of nobility that surpassed all other soul beasts:

"Do I need to lie to you?!"

This is…

Sensing the judgmental aura emanating from the superior, the mermaid's pupils contracted sharply. Then, a snow-white figure appeared behind Huo Yuhao, radiating a chilling cold that seemed to freeze everything.

"Snow Emperor!"

Upon seeing the spirit before her, the mermaid's reaction was even more intense, with a hint of fear appearing in her eyes.

"Now, you should believe us, right?"

Huo Yuhao put down the silver conch he had been examining for a long time and stared quietly at the mermaid: "The life and death of our race is now in your hands... Take us there, or not."

……

"We call this equipment a conch shell. Each color corresponds to a powerful skill that is fixed within it, and all of them are area-of-effect skills. Multiple conches can be used in combination to enhance the effect and increase the range."

"The golden conch shells in the hands of those sea monsters are anti-aircraft weapons. They can forcibly remove the airflow assistance from all flyers, and no matter how strong the counter-propulsion is, they cannot keep them levitating."

"As for the conch shell in my hand, its function is to restrict and defend. Any soul power covering the body will have its flow restricted under the effect of the conch shell, thus achieving the effect of negating the defense."

"Similarly, there is another type of magic conch in the clan that is forbidden from attacking. However, both types of magic conch have drawbacks and cannot be effective against beings who have reached the seventh level of the environment or have cultivated for 50,000 years."

The mermaid moved at high speed on the water's surface, briefly introducing the group's defenses: "The defenses we have built with the help of conch shells and sea spirit beasts are only the outermost layer, and the easiest to bypass."

"Once an enemy reaches the vicinity of the clan's territory, the combination technique that the Sea Princess painstakingly researched and created over tens of thousands of years will come in handy, combining the power of many weak clansmen into a level that surpasses that of ordinary ferocious beasts."

"With the added support of the formation, even a super Douluo among humans would find it difficult to break free of the restraints and continue forward, until they are completely killed by the powerful figures who have come from the depths of their clan's territory."
