Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 111 All Wasted Effort

Beyond the Sunset Forest.

After transforming into human form, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion traveled for several days and finally arrived at the place where Huo Yuhao had activated the power of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune.

Looking at the Sunset Forest before her, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not enter. At this distance, she could sense the power of destiny.

Although several days had passed since Huo Yuhao activated the power of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest, she could still glean some of Huo Yuhao's movements by relying on the remnants of destiny's power in this place.

It was only because, compared to Huo Yuhao, there was still a significant gap in their control over the power of destiny that she was able to find some clues about Huo Yuhao's manipulation of destiny here.

However, at this moment, she could only be certain of one thing: Huo Yuhao did not linger here after using the power of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune, but left and went elsewhere.

Although it could get a general direction of Huo Yuhao's departure, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not pinpoint Huo Yuhao's current location.

After all, even with the help of the Eye of Truth, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has been painstakingly studying the application of the power of destiny these days, but in terms of understanding the power of destiny, he is still far behind Huo Yuhao.

"Has it already left?" Although it was unwilling, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chose to follow the guidance of the power of destiny and headed towards its next target, Tiandou City, located outside Sunset Forest.

Even with the power of luck at this moment, it is no longer possible to track down or reveal Huo Yuhao's whereabouts.

However, guided by the power of fate and having established a connection with Huo Yuhao after their fateful encounter, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could vaguely sense where it should go next to have the best chance of making new contact with Huo Yuhao.

However, the power of fate only points to one possibility of its development, not an absolute certainty. Therefore, what she seeks on this journey is merely an opportunity.

However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hadn't held out much hope of finding Huo Yuhao directly.

After all, although Huo Yuhao had previously used the power of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune, the fluctuations of that fortune were fleeting.

It was obvious that Huo Yuhao had deliberately hidden it, and naturally, he wouldn't just stand there foolishly waiting for him to arrive.

Therefore, instead of chasing after the faint traces left by the power of destiny, it is better to follow the guidance of fate and wait in Tiandou City. The success rate may be much higher than searching everywhere on your own.

Moreover, before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was not entirely unprepared. During the time after being guided by Huo Yuhao's destiny, she also studied the trajectory of the power of destiny.

Although the Emperor Beast can usually only control the fortune of the Soul Beast clan, and can only influence and perceive the fate of the Soul Beast world.

However, after the destiny connection with Huo Yuhao was completed, Huo Yuhao received a share of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune to a certain extent, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also able to glimpse the fate of the human world.

Whether in the past or present, the role of Tiandou City in shaping the future fate of the human world has shown a strange increase.

Prior to this, Tiandou City was merely a conventional imperial capital in the course of destiny. However, in the years following the completion of the destiny's guidance, its share of the power of destiny has shown a strange upward trend.

However, according to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's tracing and observation, the time when this city will truly undergo major changes and have a significant impact on the fate of the human world is conservatively estimated to be three years from now.

Moreover, besides the strange proportion that Tiandou City itself holds in the course of fate, there is another matter that has also caught the attention of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was previously observing the future course of human destiny.

That is, in about two years, the human world will usher in a major change. As for what this change is, it seems to involve all aspects, but it was started by various academies and sects.

As for what exactly will happen, although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had obtained a lot of information from Huo Yuhao during the process of guiding his destiny, there were just too many random and confusing things involved.

Furthermore, given its limited understanding of the human world, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion planned to first enter the Heavenly Dou City to gather information before making calculations and plans.

After all, in this upheaval, for some unknown reason, it seemed to have been affected by something, even Di Tian and the Star Dou Great Forest were involved. This was the second reason why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wanted to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, besides coming to find Huo Yuhao.

Unlike Wang Qiu'er in the original story, who was brainwashed by Huo Yuhao after being left in Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea by Tang San and subsequently affected by the fusion of martial souls, this is different from the case of Wang Qiu'er.

This time, the fateful connection between the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Huo Yuhao did not lead to much emotional entanglement. Instead, much of the information in Huo Yuhao's memories made the Three-Eyed Golden Lion mature considerably.

At the same time, for the first time, it realized the importance of the soul beast fortune it bore as an imperial auspicious beast and the mission it was born with.

With a major upheaval imminent between the human world and the Star Dou Great Forest, how to ensure the Star Dou Great Forest occupies a correct and advantageous position is what the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seeks upon its arrival in the human world.

However, under the subtle guidance of fate, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accidentally missed Wang Dong'er, who had previously stolen the map of the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Haotian Fortress by chance.

Without the spirit fusion between Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao, and without the spiritual connection between them, the divine consciousness imprint left by Tang San within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea could not be transferred to Huo Yuhao's fortune.

Under such circumstances, Wang Dong'er and Tang San's consciousness in her spiritual sea were already in conflict with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was an imperial auspicious beast. Therefore, the power of fate would naturally not allow them to intersect.

In the original story, Tang San was able to influence the Three-Eyed Golden Lion mainly because he used Huo Yuhao's status as the chosen one of destiny, taking advantage of the fact that Huo Yuhao was destined to encounter and be guided by fate with the imperial auspicious beast.

However, this also caused a slight change in the power of fortune. Because it was about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, the power of fortune carried by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was reduced slightly. However, these slight changes in the power of fortune could not cause the Star Dou Great Forest itself to react.

However, because he had been diligently studying the application of the power of destiny during this period, and his understanding of the power of fortune had deepened considerably, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion naturally sensed the situation on its own body.

"Strange, Sunset Forest, is something amiss? My luck was slightly depleted when I approached it. Is there a powerful human there?"

Although he had doubts, after checking and finding that the loss of luck power stopped after leaving Sunset Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not intend to investigate further.

Since this loss did not occur because of any interaction with Huo Yuhao, and it is inconsistent with my goals, I should avoid it in advance.

Meanwhile, deep within the Sunset Forest, Tang San was cursing inwardly: "Damn it, who is it? Who is it that covets my Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well! They deserve to die, they deserve to die!"

In fact, Wang Dong'er's theft of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well map and her departure from Haotian Fortress could not be kept secret from Titan and Niu Tian, ​​who were nominally Limit Douluo but actually possessed divine consciousness.

However, this was done under Tang San's instruction, using Tang San's divine sense and the opportunity of having fused with five soul bone divine equipment to influence Wang Dong'er's actions.

As a result, Titan and Niu Tian naturally wouldn't stop them; in fact, they would have to put on a natural act to save Tang San's face.

Otherwise, are you going to say that all of this was planned by me, the mighty God King Tang San?

Of course, these were all decisions made by Wang Dong'er from the bottom of her heart, but by sheer coincidence, they just happened to coincide with the result that Tang San needed to achieve.

Tang San did this for one purpose only: to bring Wang Dong'er to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and use the immortal herbs there to improve her aptitude and cultivation.

After all, forcibly fusing five soul bone artifacts was already Wang Dong'er's limit. If she really wanted to fully fuse a sixth soul bone artifact to support the complete recovery of Tang San's divine consciousness, then she would need six soul bone artifacts.

Although the five soul bone artifacts can enhance Tang San's divine sense to a certain extent, they cannot achieve a unified cycle, and the power contained within them diminishes with each use.

As the actual controller of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Wang Dong'er was originally expected to be able to easily enter it with the help of the power of the Soul Bone Divine Armor.

With the token that Wang Dong'er 'unintentionally' brought out from Haotian Fortress, she could easily gain the approval of those immortal herbs and freely enter and exit the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

However, he did not expect that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had already been wreaked havoc by Huo Yuhao and his Poison Undying.

The protection he originally set up with the Azure Phosphorus Flower was even strengthened once by Poison Undying, who was a level 98 Super Douluo at the time.

The toxicity of the Jade Phosphorus Flower, once activated by a level 98 Super Douluo, is vastly different from its original power.

Even though the Soul Bone Divine Equipment was of excellent quality, it was still difficult for Wang Dong'er to unleash its full potential due to her own cultivation level.

Left with no other choice, Tang San's divine sense had to take over. With the help of the power of his divine sense, only one or two tenths of the power contained in the Soul Bone Divine Armor was activated.

However, despite this, Tang San's divine sense was somewhat helpless against the poisonous mist formed by the combination of the Jade Phosphorous Flowers and the Deadly Poison.

After all, when he was still a mortal, he was proud of the poison-making and detoxification methods of the Tang Clan.

However, after obtaining the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, he hardly went on to study the advanced application of poisons.

The subsequent highly poisonous substances, such as the Yama's Decree, were simply replaced with higher-grade immortal herbs, based on the records in the Tang Clan's secret manual.

Even with his current cultivation level at a disadvantage, he managed to unleash one-tenth to one-twelfth of the power contained within his Soul Bone Divine Armor. Combined with his divine sense manipulation, he was able to barely control Wang Dong'er to possess strength approaching that of a level 95 Super Douluo.

However, it wasn't lasting long enough. After all, his original divine sense was still too weak. Even with his divine sense helping Wang Dong'er share the burden and clear the blockage, Wang Dong'er's body couldn't withstand the stronger power within the Soul Bone Divine Armor.

Wang Dong'er, who was being controlled by Tang San, had a look of anxiety in her eyes. The situation could not be delayed any longer. It was estimated that he would have to break control over Wang Dong'er in three more breaths.

Otherwise, either Wang Dong'er's body wouldn't be able to withstand it, or his divine consciousness would completely dissipate. Since that's the case, for the sake of his grand plan, he had no choice but to take the gamble.

Within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea, a golden trident-shaped mark shone brightly. At the same time, the power originally contained within the Soul Bone Divine Armor suddenly increased, but it did not fall upon Wang Dong'er.

Instead, it merged into the golden trident mark. This method was one of Tang San's backup plans, although doing so could temporarily unleash power close to the god level.

However, this would severely damage his divine consciousness, preventing it from awakening or influencing Wang Dong'er until she fused with the sixth soul bone artifact.

But all of this was worth it. As long as he reached that place and could enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Tang San used his god-level power to forcefully disperse the poisonous cloud formed by the soul power left behind by the Jade Phosphorus Flower and Poison Undying.

After sending Wang Dong'er into the valley, Tang San's divine sense only had the remaining strength to quickly leave a few subconscious impressions of immortal herbs in Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea, which would be helpful for her future cultivation, before he completely fell into a deep sleep.

Consequently, the golden trident mark in Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea also dimmed. However, just as Wang Dong'er entered the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located, and fainted due to the burden caused by using the Soul Bone Divine Armor.

There was no scene that would actually make Tang San so angry that he would vomit blood. That was that every immortal herb, every piece of land, and even the spring water in this valley were shrouded in a layer of dark green soul power.

Even those immortal herbs with cultivation levels of 100,000 years are the same, with this soul power barrier isolating them from all contact with the outside world, although their internal energy and life force can still circulate normally.

However, Wang Dong'er, whose cultivation level was only Soul King at this time, had absolutely no chance of breaking through it.

This was also a method left behind by Du Busi before. Tang San probably didn't expect that someone could be even more ruthless than him.
