The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Huo Zhanji remained remarkably calm in mid-air. How could he possibly back down when facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a being at the half-step god level?

"Senior is indeed very strong, but I am not that simple either. Holy Eye - Mystic Ice Dragon Emperor Armor, Ice Emperor Form!" Huo Zhanji said politely.

The next second, a cold aura suddenly burst forth, and Huo Zhanji, wearing blue armor and holding an ice sword, slowly landed on the sea surface. The ice sword was pointed directly at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The sea surface beneath their feet instantly froze and continued to spread into the distance.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at Huo Zhanji with curiosity and asked, "Little guy, your self-fusion martial soul technique probably has more than one form, right?"

"Of course, I have four such martial soul fusion techniques," Huo Zhanji said with a calm smile.

The two, one human and one whale, faced off. The deep purple single eye of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King met Huo Zhanji's icy blue eyes. Huo Zhanji's aura was being suppressed little by little, and his momentum, which should have reached its peak after transforming into human form, was slowly declining.

"The Three Lives Martial Soul talent is quite good." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared and suddenly raised his right hand.

Purple orbs of light appeared around his body, each one locking onto Huo Zhanji. A piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out. From the moment they were formed to the moment they were released, it was only a short breath. The thousands upon thousands of purple orbs of light were already hurtling towards Huo Zhanji like a meteor shower.

Huo Zhanji showed no intention of dodging. With a slight wave of his ice sword, a blue dragon a thousand meters long appeared behind him. Its gaze was fixed on the purple orbs. The next second, a beam of blue light burst forth from the mouth of the Xuanbing Dragon Emperor. Wherever the beam swept, the purple orbs froze.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression changed slightly. How could this be? He knew best how powerful the energy he released was. In his astonishment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hesitated for a moment, and in that brief instant, all his attacks landed on empty air, without a single lightning bead exploding.

At this moment, Huo Zhanji shouted and charged towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was not to be outdone, its whole body radiating purple light as it rushed towards Huo Zhanji. Wherever the purple light passed, the air instantly solidified.

"Use mental attacks against me? I'm an expert in that, Chaos World!" With a single thought, Huo Zhanji caused the sky to change color instantly, and an invisible wave swept out, dissipating the moment the purple light was about to make contact with Huo Zhanji's body.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King never expected that his move would have no effect on Huo Zhanji at all, and instead he himself would be given a weakness buff.

"Senior, this is my final strike! Infinite Form, Eternal Divine Spear!"

Huo Zhanji spoke respectfully, and the next second the icy blue light quietly faded away, replaced by a silvery white light. With a slight turn of his right wrist, the Eternal Divine Spear appeared in his hand.

"You're only a Soul Douluo and you already have god-level strength!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King stared at Huo Zhanji in astonishment. Although his strength was also close to god-level, it wasn't as natural as Huo Zhanji's. It seemed that this kid wasn't lying to him.

"Senior, why don't you take a look at this move of mine? After this move, you can decide for yourself," Huo Zhanji said with a smile.

"I already acknowledge your strength, but I still want to experience the power of your move," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King said, patting his chest.

"Good! Divine skill—Eternal Kingdom! Eternal Gate!"

Huo Zhanji brandished the Eternal Divine Spear, and rows of silver-white buildings appeared behind him. The next second, a gleaming silver gate slowly emerged.

"Go!" Huo Zhanji pointed the Eternal Divine Spear in his hand directly at the direction of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The next moment, silver-white chains emerged from within the Gate of Eternity and wrapped around the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's limbs, constantly pulling it toward the Gate of Eternity. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King tried to resist, but its soul power was unable to penetrate the chains binding it, and even brute force was ineffective.

"Retract." Huo Zhanji then brandished the Eternal Divine Spear, retracting the chains binding the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Little guy, just how strong are you?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King slowly walked up to Huo Zhanji and asked.

"Below the level of gods, I am invincible; above the level of gods, I will launch a sneak attack," Huo Zhanji said.

"You're just my type," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King said, patting Huo Zhanji on the shoulder.

"What do you think, senior?" Huo Zhanji asked.

"No need to think about it, we'll take care of your eighth spirit ring," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King said casually.

"Us?" Huo Zhanji tilted his head in confusion.

"You have three martial souls. If I'm not mistaken, one of your martial souls is your eyes, another is the dragon from earlier, and I haven't figured out your third martial soul yet, but it must be very strong. The Demon Whale Sea is not only home to me, but also to my wife. If I follow you to become a god, I cannot abandon my wife." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King said with a solemn expression.

"This humble one, Huo Zhanji, thanks you, senior," Huo Zhanji said respectfully.

"Let me see your capital," said the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Alright, everyone come out," Huo Zhanji said.

Snow Empress and the others revealed themselves one after another. The little Qilin had somehow transformed into human form as well, but it looked like a little girl, nestled in the arms of Ice Dragon King Qingling...

"If this lineup still can't make you a god, little guy, you might as well go find a tofu block and kill yourself." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. After all, how could someone chosen by a divine beast of destiny be an ordinary person?

"Deep Sea, I never thought you could lose to this little guy in front of you," Xue Di said, covering her face.

"You can't argue with others. The new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King shook his head helplessly.

"Senior, let's begin. There's no time to lose. I've been here too long, and things might change in the future," Huo Zhanji said.

"Alright, I'll go find my wife now." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King said, then transformed into its original form and dived into the deep sea.

Before long, a man and a woman appeared in front of Huo Zhanji. Huo Zhanji had arranged for the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor to go to the far north, to see if they could persuade the people in this parallel dimension to borrow their power to reach a higher level.

"Huo Zhanji greets Senior." Huo Zhanji said to the woman beside the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Little one, we're entrusting you with our care from now on. We will do our best to assist you," said the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Becoming a god is just our starting point, not our end. Relax, seniors, I'm about to begin."

Huo Zhanji nodded and switched to his Eternal Night form. Ilex assisted him from the side, while the Ice Dragon King and Qilin were ready to suppress the energy that was about to dissipate. The reason was simple: the cultivation of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and his wife was too powerful, almost enough to force Huo Zhanji to reach the level of a Title Douluo. However, danger was also present. If Huo Zhanji could not hold on, he would explode and die.

However, he clearly underestimated the two supreme god-level cores within his body. They were eager for Huo Zhanji to absorb a large amount of energy so that they could better provide for his needs.

Huo Zhanji put in 100% effort to form this contract, which took almost half a month to complete. Several times, Huo Zhanji almost couldn't hold on, mainly because the power within his body was too rampant. If it weren't for the two cores forcibly repairing Huo Zhanji's body, he would have been finished long ago.

"My soul power was actually raised by seven levels without any slippage. I've lived my whole life on thin ice," Huo Zhanji said wearily.

"System, check my Soul Ring configuration."

[Double pupils: brilliant gold, red, red, red, red, purple-gold, purple-gold, brilliant gold]

[Mystic Ice Dragon Emperor: Brilliant gold, brilliant gold, brilliant gold, brilliant gold, brilliant gold, blue gold, blue gold, brilliant gold (The Snow Empress borrowed the power of this parallel dimension)]

[Necromancer God: Gray Gold]

"System, what is the minimum age of my several 100,000-year soul rings?" Huo Zhanji asked.

[Around 400,000 years ago.]

"System, how long ago was my era?" Huo Zhan asked urgently.

[It's been less than half a day, but don't worry, host, they'll be fine.]

"Alright, let's go back," Huo Zhanji said.

[The time-space travel portal has been opened. Host, please enter as soon as possible.]

Huo Zhanji glanced at the calm ocean, then turned and stepped into the time-space tunnel. For some reason, the time-space tunnel felt eerie on the way back, and Huo Zhanji had a feeling that something was going to happen.
