Douluo Continent: Newcomer Yuhao, thank you Lan Xuanyu

Chapter 176 The Abnormality of the Sea

Poison Undying looked at him with some surprise, "What's there to investigate over the ocean?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "—It's nothing, there are just some things that bother me, it'll be fine in a few days."

Even though Du Busi couldn't refuse his apprentice, he gave him a few days off.

Upon re-entering the sea, Huo Yuhao immediately sensed a rather peculiar mental fluctuation.

It was very faint and indistinct. If it weren't for the fact that his mental strength had been greatly enhanced after the second awakening, Huo Yuhao would not have been able to sense this faint mental fluctuation at all.

"There's something dirty in it—I don't like it—"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. He immediately recalled the voice he heard in that consciousness space after his martial soul awakened for the second time.

【Be careful—stay away from the sea!】

Beware of the ocean? Definitely not.

There's only one truth, and what made me wary of that voice was—

Poseidon!

Something's wrong with the ocean—what exactly did Tang San do to it?

Having been educated by Baili Du for so long, Huo Yuhao naturally had no good feelings towards this Sea God who was turning back the clock in Douluo Continent. In addition, based on the information he obtained from Lan Xuanyu, he naturally loathed Tang San.

It would be best to annoy the enemy, but even if we can't, we can't let them have it easy!

The deep blue glazed dragon spread its eight wings on its back, forming a light blue light shield around its body.

One of the special mechanisms of the ultimate water is its ability to control any water element, even the water in blood, let alone the ocean, the place where water elements are most abundant.

After confirming that he could breathe without any problems, Huo Yuhao continued to descend, propelled by the seawater.

Without much effort, Huo Yuhao descended at least 1,500 meters.

It's no wonder that Poison couldn't kill Huo Yuhao and prevent him from using his second spirit. The water element was like seeing Huo Yuhao's own father, so how could it put the pressure he needed for a second awakening?

By concealing himself with water elements and simulating the effects with his mental energy, Huo Yuhao avoided any conflict with the wandering sea spirit beasts along the way, focusing solely on descending.

Two thousand meters, two thousand five hundred meters.

The surroundings grew increasingly dark, without a single ray of light, which made Huo Yuhao unconsciously feel somewhat afraid.

Huo Yuhao wanted to control the water element to help him extend his field of vision, but he was surprised to find that the water element in the deep sea was actually repelling him!

That's not right—seawater is water too. Even if it doesn't obey my commands, it shouldn't reject me.

What's going on?

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment. After asking Electrolux to set the gate to the undead demiplane to be open at any time, he rotated his Qi and Blood Soul Core, forming a protective shield of Qi and Blood power on his body. He withstood the pressure of the seawater, forcibly used his Deep Blue Glazed Dragon Martial Soul to absorb the surrounding water elements, and then used his Qi and Blood Soul Core to transform them into Qi and Blood to amplify himself before continuing to dive downwards.

Three thousand meters —

This is already Huo Yuhao's limit.

If it weren't for the condensation of his Qi and Blood Soul Core, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have been able to dive to this depth. Otherwise, he would have come to this side of the sea long ago to investigate.

Huo Yuhao hovered in the water, silently closing his eyes and sensing everything around him.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and after the second awakening is completed, this Spirit Eye Martial Soul can be called the Mind's Eye.

Here, eyesight is no longer of much significance; you have to rely more on your own senses.

There were hardly any sea spirit beasts in this deep sea, but Huo Yuhao could faintly sense several extremely powerful auras.

"6

""

He suddenly covered his mouth tightly, his whole body trembling, trying his best not to make a sound. Even Electrox, who was on standby to rescue him, had a serious expression.

Not far from Huo Yuhao's feet, an unimaginably enormous beast swam slowly by, unaware of the tiny human above him.

A ferocious beast! Without a doubt, a ferocious beast from the ocean!

My heart was pounding so hard I couldn't calm it down.

"Alright, it's gone now."

Only after Electrolux's voice rang in his ears did Huo Yuhao open his mouth and fully circulate his Qi and Blood Soul Core to maintain his body's balance.

"Teacher, in your opinion, what is the nature of the ocean?"

"I've been sensing the state of the ocean myself. If I'm not mistaken, the ocean in your world is probably no longer under the jurisdiction of the plane's ruler."

"Not under the jurisdiction of the plane's ruler? What does that mean?"

Electrox pondered for a moment and explained, "The rulers of physical planes usually don't have much consciousness, but ultimately, they generally only have one goal: to drive the evolution of their planes."

"There are many ways for a plane to evolve. For example, in my world, becoming a god means assimilating with heaven and earth. But think about it, what kind of immense power a powerful being who has become a god would possess, and this power would eventually be accepted by the plane, which can be considered a different kind of enhancement of the plane's power."

Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding, but frankly, this method was very unfair. Those powerful people worked hard all their lives, only to end up benefiting the other world.

"This fragment of my divine soul has traveled through many worlds. Most of these worlds choose to evolve by giving birth to a chosen one of their own, using the power of destiny to gradually strengthen that chosen one, thereby driving the evolution of the plane. Your world is no exception."

"But here's the problem: the previous generation's chosen one of the plane, the Sea God Tang San, didn't drive the evolution of the plane's power; instead, he hindered the plane's evolution."

Huo Yuhao frowned. "You mean—Tang San used his daughter to interfere with my mind?"

"Not only that," Electrolux shook his head, his tone becoming much more serious. "Think about it, you are the chosen one of the plane, representing the plane's ruler. Logically speaking, even if the ocean doesn't welcome you, it shouldn't reject you, especially since you have the ability to be compatible with water elements. But you are ostracized everywhere in the ocean. This is probably because Tang San took control of the ocean from the plane's ruler, causing the ocean to disown you."

"The consequences of this are very serious. To give an analogy, the energy cycle of a plane is like a balance scale. Whether it is the cultivation of humans or soul beasts, it is essentially about drawing energy from the plane to strengthen themselves. It seems like they are forcibly seizing it, but in reality, after these soul masters and soul beasts die, the energy will return to the world and cycle back to balance."

"Occasionally, a few highly skilled individuals will not enter this cycle and will ascend to the God Realm, taking a portion with them. This is not a major issue for the overall system. In some cases, there may even be positive feedback from conscientious individuals, which will further strengthen the plane. However, if the ocean is lost, the plane will not have enough energy to control, and this cycle will be broken. It's like only one of the two scales is weighing the weight. Just think about what the consequences will be."
