The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 82 This is a parting gift (5000 words)

At this moment, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire on the city wall gripped the wall tightly, his face somewhat grim. The hard wall was crushed into powder in his hands, demonstrating that he was no ordinary person, but an extremely powerful Soul Master.

Before the absolute defensive shield's duration ended, he finally spoke with a bitter tone, "I... surrender."

"The first match of the semifinals, a team battle, Shrek Academy defeats Star Luo National Academy." The lifeless, cold voice of Tian Sha Douluo rang out, announcing the end of today's matches.

In the subsequent individual elimination rounds, Xingluo National Academy, whose mentality had already been shattered by Huo Yuhao in the team competition, chose to forfeit the competition.

And so, with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy facing off against the Imperial Academy, the day of the finals drew ever closer.

At this time, in the Sea God Pavilion, Xuanzi had returned to Star Luo City after bringing back the Heart of the Ocean.

With the Heart of the Ocean in hand, Mu En arrived at the most secluded pavilion in the Sea God's Pavilion and placed it on the altar in front of the statue of the Sea God Tang San, where he then offered a prayer.

Accompanied by prayer, a phantom figure, whose face was obscured yet appeared incomparably 'sacred,' 'great,' 'majestic,' and 'magnificent', emerged from the Heart of the Ocean.

Upon seeing this, Mu En realized that this person was the incarnation of the Sea God Tang San, and quickly bowed, saying, "Mu En greets Your Majesty the Sea God."

Seeing this, Tang San said, "Get up."

Huo Yuhao guessed correctly; the Heart of the Ocean was indeed specially prepared for him by Tang San.

Because Tang San's divine consciousness, which he had previously left in Wang Dong'er and the golden wooden box, was destroyed by the lingering consciousness of that ungrateful Light Dragon Clan, he now needs a new way to monitor Huo Yuhao, the chosen one.

This was the object he released to the lower realm after learning of the collapse of his divine consciousness. However, due to the time difference between the divine realm and the mortal realm, it took a long time to be transported from his overseas temple to the mainland, and his sea soul master follow his instructions.

He had clearly succeeded in trying to deliver the item to Shrek Academy through an auction in a respectable way, avoiding the gaze of the God of Destruction. After all, Shrek Academy members are known for their unwavering loyalty when it comes to the Sea God.

"The Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and the Heart of the Ocean that you previously bid on were actually treasures I bestowed upon the Sea Soul Masters. My original intention was to cultivate Huo Yuhao, so I sent them to Shrek City by the Sea Soul Masters. However, they were intercepted by evil soul masters on the way, and after many twists and turns, they finally returned here."

Actually, Tang San was gradually losing ground in his battles with the God of Destruction, so this was to quickly gain control of Huo Yuhao and make him a god to help him.

Refining the Dragon Pill requires strong physical and mental strength. This so-called Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue actually contains Tang San's divine power, and its effects are far more than what was mentioned at the auction.

If Huo Yuhao refines this whale glue and combines it with the Heart of the Ocean, he will be able to refine the Dragon Pill, cleanse his marrow and undergo a complete transformation.

However, at this time, Huo Yuhao's body will be affected and transformed by the power of the Sea God. At the same time, under the influence of Tang San's divine sense in the Heart of the Ocean, Huo Yuhao's soul will also be affected by Tang Wutong's soul in the Dragon Core.

Once he has fully absorbed the power, Huo Yuhao can be considered Tang San's "son". After all, they share the same bloodline and divine power, and have the same soul. Even the God of Destruction cannot find fault with this relationship.

"Once Huo Yuhao returns, give him the whale glue and the Heart of the Ocean, and he will know what to do."

"Moun obeys the divine decree."

However, what they didn't know was that the moment Huo Yuhao saw the Heart of the Ocean, he made up his mind that he would never return to Shrek Academy.

At this time, Huo Yuhao's Death Messenger had been fully tested the day before the final. Through the real-life simulation of Huo Yuhao, he concealed the traces of its appearance and released it into Xingluo City, using magic, a system completely different from soul skills.

The Death Messenger successfully evaded the supervision of all the Title Douluos in the city. Just like in Dragon City before, he set up magic arrays to summon undead creatures throughout the city, but during this time he discovered that there seemed to be an evil aura lurking in the city.

However, since the main purpose this time was to create fear rather than to massacre cities and destroy countries, Huo Yuhao released mostly ordinary undead creatures, the strongest of which were no more than second-tier, or Great Soul Masters.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Hei Yuhao added an extra effect to each summoning circle: the undead creatures summoned from the circle can be used as materials for the Death Messenger's Corpse Explosion Technique.

Moreover, under the influence of the resentment of that ninth-level soul master and evil soul master, the area it could detonate covered the entire Star Luo City. Among them, the Star Emperor Hotel was the place that Huo Yuhao focused on the most, even though many academy teams had been eliminated.

However, most of them remained at the Star Emperor Hotel, wanting to wait until they finished watching the final and most exciting match of the tournament before leaving.

However, Huo Yuhao is no longer willing to play house with them. Now that all preparations are complete, it's time to present Shrek Academy with a farewell gift.

Just as Shrek and his group were coming downstairs, a tall, balding old man with long, dark green hair, accompanied by a large-headed man and a man with unusually thick arms, blocked their way.

These three were none other than Du Busi, Lang Ya, and Yu Tao from the Body Sect.

When Du Busi saw Huo Yuhao, he felt the Seed of Inheritance he carried emitting a burst of intense heat. Huo Yuhao also vaguely felt that his power of conviction was being drawn to something on Du Busi's body, just like when he saw the Golden Tree before.

"I am Poison Undying, from the Body Sect. Little fellow, since your martial soul is also a Body Martial Soul, then you should be a member of my Body Sect. I have come here to take you back to the sect," Poison Undying said directly.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, he became more and more satisfied. After all, no one from his Body Sect had been able to attract the attention of the Seed of Inheritance in the past hundred years. He never expected to meet him here. It could be said that his Body Sect had a successor.

Wang Yan, standing to the side, remained silent, listening quietly to their conversation. After all, he knew the style of the Body Sect. He was just a minor Soul King, and none of the disciples of the Body Sect were weak. Moreover, the person in front of him looked to be an old monster from the Body Sect.

Wang Dong'er, meanwhile, was clutching Huo Yuhao's clothes tightly, her face pale.

"Pah! Poisonous Old Monster, what are you trying to do? Steal my Shrek Academy's disciples?" A ragged figure suddenly appeared between Huo Yuhao and Poisonous Undying.

He exuded the terrifying pressure of a Super Douluo, but Du Busi coldly snorted and his own pressure, three times stronger, rose up to counter it.

"Xuanzi, since I have come here in person this time, I will not leave empty-handed. Go up and talk!" Du Busi took off and broke through the dome of the Star Emperor Hotel. Xuanzi was not to be outdone and rushed out with him.

At this moment, two enormous figures appeared in the sky, and a dense, dark green light suddenly shot into the sky, dyeing half of the sky dark green.

Poison Undying's body swelled up, growing more than ten times its original size in the blink of an eye. His dark green skin bulged and transformed into massive muscles like granite. Only a pair of shorts covered his vital parts. Those shorts were obviously specially made, otherwise they would have been torn apart by his enormous body.

What's most terrifying are his spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red. He actually has three spirit rings that are 100,000 years old. When his martial spirit is fully released, the overwhelming aura seems to shatter even the air itself.

Meanwhile, a strong yellow light emanated from Xuanzi, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted. The heavy yellow light also occupied half of the sky, with yellow and green clearly distinguished in the high sky.

Xuanzi transformed into a monster with the body of a sheep, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, human claws, and a pair of enormous bull horns. It was over thirty meters long and even more imposing than Du Busi in terms of size. A burst of intense yellow light erupted, and nine soul rings transformed into halos that hovered between the two giant horns that were over five meters long.

However, compared to Du Busi, Xuanzi's soul rings are somewhat inferior. He has two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul rings. At the level of 100,000-year soul rings, he only has one. This means that, at least in terms of 100,000-year soul skills, he has two fewer than Du Busi.

A deafening roar suddenly exploded in the sky, and the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Busi, and Xuanzi had already begun their attack.

For miles around, the entire sky changed color because of their battle. One side was a deep yellow, and the other a domineering dark green, each occupying one side of the sky. Where the two colors met, the winds and clouds surged as Xuanzi and Du Busi fought. This was truly a terrifying contest that changed the very fabric of the world!

In Star Luo City, many Soul Masters and ordinary people watched this scene in horror. The Title Douluos of Star Luo City had grim expressions, and the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei's face was even more gloomy. The aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he was also a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

"What a wonderful Shrek Academy! What a wonderful Body Sect! Excellent! Truly excellent!"

At this moment, Yu Tao and Lang Ya exchanged a glance, and then Lang Ya nodded. Everyone from Shrek Academy, including Ma Xiaotao, seemed to be in a daze for a moment.

Then Yu Taolangya and Huo Yuhao both disappeared.

Wang Dong'er looked at the hem of her clothes that had been ripped from her hand. For some reason, her initial anxiety gradually calmed down. Looking at the empty hall, only one thought occupied her mind: [I will find you, Yuhao. Even if it's the Body Sect, when I see you again, I will never let you be so helplessly taken away from me.]

When Ma Xiaotao came to her senses, she felt as if a string in her heart had suddenly snapped. Black flames uncontrollably burst forth from her body, then coalesced behind her, and a huge figure appeared behind her.

It was a phoenix that was completely black. Compared to the original Evil Fire Phoenix, it was even smaller in size. However, its pitch-black body exuded a terrifying aura like that of an abyss. In particular, its deep purple eyes were filled with despair and madness.

Seeing this, Wang Yan quickly led the other disciples towards Xingluo Square. In the current competition, the Title Douluos should all be maintaining order in the square, making it the safest place and the only place where they might find someone who could suppress Ma Xiaotao.

Before Huo Yuhao was taken away, he removed the restriction of the reversal rune in Ma Xiaotao's body. At the same time, somewhere in Xingluo City, a figure dressed in black robes frowned, then relaxed: "This is... such a powerful evil aura, hehehe, it seems that my Holy Sect will have another capable lieutenant."

This person is none other than Crow Douluo, who was previously sent to investigate the mysterious evil soul master in Dragon City. He is also the reason why the evil soul master's activities have been frequent. Now he has come to Star Luo City because this competition is a grand event in the soul master world, and the mixed nature of the competition may attract that mysterious evil soul master.

Unexpectedly, they had an unexpected gain. In just a few moments, they arrived at the Star Emperor Hotel. At this time, Ma Xiaotao was engulfed in black flames. Several academy instructors in the Star Emperor Hotel were struggling to withstand her flames. Since there was no Title Douluo-level expert among them, they were unable to subdue her for the time being.

At this moment, Crow Douluo appeared behind Ma Xiaotao: "What a beautiful black phoenix! Hehehe, with the Holy Emperor above, my Holy Sect should prosper greatly."

He grabbed Ma Xiaotao's shoulder, and his powerful dark soul force completely suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire. Ma Xiaotao then fainted. He disappeared in a flash. At this moment, Wang Yan, who only had the strength of a Soul King, was powerless to intervene.

Meanwhile, Xuanzi was having a fierce battle with Du Busi in the sky above Xingluo City, so he didn't care about anything else.

As Huo Yuhao was brought to the outskirts of Xingluo City, several more powerful auras emerged from outside the city. Without exception, they were all titled Douluo from the Body Sect. Previously, in order not to arouse Xuanzi's vigilance, Du Busi had not brought them to the Star Emperor Hotel, but instead had them meet him outside the city.

Huo Yuhao was held motionless by Yu Tao's large hand, showing no intention of resisting. The people from the Body Sect were somewhat surprised to see this, but they did not linger and quickly left the place with Huo Yuhao, heading towards the Body Sect.

As Huo Yuhao felt the mark of fear he had left on Ma Xiaotao, he gradually left Xingluo City. He realized that the evil aura that the Death Messenger had detected earlier was probably the evil soul master he had guessed, most likely a member of the Holy Spirit Cult. It was likely that they had discovered Ma Xiaotao's martial soul had turned evil and taken her away.

As they got further and further away from Star Luo City, Huo Yuhao lifted the restrictions on the Death Messenger.

Meanwhile, in Star Luo City, most people were filled with anxiety due to the battle between the two powerful figures in the sky. Suddenly, a strange change occurred: from dark alleys, shadowy corners, the shadows under trees, and the ditches beside the road...

Countless zombies swarmed out from the crowd, terrifying passersby who screamed in terror. Even some Soul Masters were shocked by the sight. What was going on? Had an evil Soul Master massacred the city?

Under the control of the Grim Reaper, these zombies were mostly driven away or attacked with less force, rarely killing living people. However, the dense horde of zombies still frightened everyone into fleeing. They discovered that the zombies appeared from the outside in, and that Star Luo Square was still safe.

Therefore, ordinary people and soul masters who were able to move used all their strength and fled frantically towards Xingluo Square. They naturally knew that Xingluo Square was the safest place at the moment.

However, some people did not have time to escape, such as those with mobility issues or patients in bed. Since her injuries improved slightly, Zhu Lu has been going to watch the games with Wang Yan and the others to broaden her horizons. Dai Huabin is usually left at the Xinghuang Hotel.

Because of Ma Xiaotao's rampage, Zhu Lu followed Wang Yan and the others all the way to Xingluo Square without having time to bring Dai Huabin along. Meanwhile, the zombie horde was gradually forming.

The Star Luo Empire's rulers and ministers watched this scene from the inner city walls, their expressions grim. The zombie horde's impact was far too great, even though they were currently only zombies that could be dealt with by first- or second-ring Soul Masters.

However, the evil spirit master who can cause such a large-scale zombie horde is definitely not to be underestimated, and he has not yet shown himself.

When the zombie horde forced more than ten million people in Xingluo City to the vicinity of Xingluo Square, the originally huge Xingluo Square was no longer able to accommodate them. The Xingluo Empire also sent many titled officials to resist the zombie horde. At this time, Xuanzi and Du Busi were engaged in a fierce battle in the sky and did not notice this scene.

"Hehehehe, hehehehe." A sinister laugh came from the horde of corpses. A figure, whose body was like a skeleton covered only by a thin layer of human skin, stepped out. Nine gray soul rings were under his feet, and his eyes had no pupils, but instead two pale soul flames.

With his appearance, a Super Douluo with the title of Shattered Star made a move in the Hall of Worship of the Star Luo Empire.

Because the resources of the Offering Hall cannot be easily exposed or mobilized, the people who dealt with the zombie horde before were ordinary soldiers and ordinary titled Douluo. Now, after seeing the "instigator" appear, this level 95 Super Douluo who had been hiding himself made his move.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and then slowly pushed them outwards, and a small purple vortex, which looked to be only ten centimeters in size, quietly flew out.

A small purple vortex drifted out, paused briefly in the air, and then the surrounding air suddenly became violent. The intense purple light seemed to devour even the air. Around the ever-expanding vortex, spatial rifts began to appear and merge.

The vortex struck the Grim Reaper, and the zombies in its path were constantly devoured and torn apart. Only a wisp of soul fire returned to the undead demiplane.

But the messenger of death neither dodged nor avoided, and spoke loudly, which was clearly heard by the millions of people in the square.

"Ignorant mortals, only by having fear in your hearts can you understand true faith."

"When I return, offer your souls, so that you may be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation."
