Chapter 68: Evil Demon Forest
Looking at Di Qiuer as she greeted him lazily, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.
Perhaps because the two of them had exchanged memories, Di Qiuer trusted him very much.
Di Qiuer was playing games like a carefree little girl, taking a few sips of a drink placed nearby from time to time, and laughing as she argued with Xiao Jin.
She hid the hint of melancholy in her eyes well, as if she were trying to use this to numb herself and forget the fact that she was about to die.
Or perhaps she wanted to take advantage of the few years she had left to play everything she hadn't played before.
Huo Yuhao didn't know exactly what she was thinking; he just walked slowly up to her and reached out to gently rub her head.
Her waterfall-like black hair was ruffled into a bit of a mess. Ignoring Di Qiuer's blustering roar, Huo Yuhao placed a newly made game cartridge in front of her and walked out of the Golden Ancient Tree.
Before leaving the Golden Ancient Tree, Huo Yuhao paused, his gentle voice reaching Di Qiuer's ears.
"I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back before you finish this cartridge. Remember to be happy every day; I'll handle the rest for you."
Putting aside her identity as the Auspicious Beast, Di Qiuer, who now possessed some modern concepts, gave Huo Yuhao a true sense of closeness.
Huo Yuhao felt as if he were looking at a poor little girl from his past life who needed help. In a moment of soft-heartedness, he ultimately took the burden of Di Qiuer's life upon himself.
Seeing Di Qiuer's stunned expression before he left, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle.
In the Spirit Sea, Huo Yuhao called Elder Yi and the group of Soul Spirits over.
"Elder Yi, release the aura of the Death God's Law. The Law's aura on Di Qiuer originated because of me, and the Death God's Clone was also killed by me. It's only right that she shouldn't have to bear this tribulation for me."
Electrolux remained as calm as ever, merely confirming with Huo Yuhao one last time in a gentle tone.
"Yuhao, have you thought this through? If we do this, within three years, we will have to face off against a First Class God."
Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with determination as he responded calmly, "Of course. It's just a mere First Class God. Three years from now, the outcome is still uncertain."
The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress were naturally proud and fierce; they now supported Huo Yuhao's decision with silent nods.
Tianmeng Iceworm, on the other hand, lay on the ground and began to exercise, looking as if he were going to show off his great power in the future battle.
After Electrolux completely released the aura of the Death God's Law, Huo Yuhao put all the items needed for the trip to the Evil Demon Forest into his Spirit Tool Ring and headed toward the previously agreed-upon meeting point.
In the God Realm, Tang San looked at Huo Yuhao with some confusion. He didn't understand Huo Yuhao's thoughts, nor could he make sense of his actions.
"Why not use the Auspicious Beast to block the disaster for you? She was destined to die anyway. To think he would plan to face a first-class Divinity head-on for an insignificant person?"
Tang San whispered to himself in the God Realm, his expression filled with lingering doubt.
The current Tang San might have long forgotten the courage he had when he stood against Spirit Hall for Xiao Wu, as well as the many life-and-death battles he fought back then.
The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon. Without realizing it, the current Tang San had become like the Spirit Hall that once led the siege against the Thousand Hands Asura and Xiao Wu.
After Huo Yuhao met up with Mu En and Xuan Zi, the group set off and flew toward the Evil Demon Forest.
"Yuhao, if you say there are three combatants with Limit-level power in the Evil Demon Forest, then we indeed must act with caution. We should leave immediately after obtaining the spirit ring."
Xuan Zi had just broken through to become a Limit Douluo and was feeling quite self-satisfied, but after hearing Huo Yuhao's description of the Evil Demon Forest, he instantly became cautious.
Mu En, however, was lost in thought upon hearing this. Three Limit Douluo-level combatants... the Evil Emperor is one, but could the other two be them?
"Elder Xuan, Elder Mu, I have instructed Xiao Jin to assist Song the Elder if necessary. There are no hidden dangers within the academy. Let's not rush this trip; stability is our priority."
Huo Yuhao didn't have much confidence in the strength of their trio. At this time, the strongest organization was undoubtedly the Holy Spirit Cult.
Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were both Peak combatants of the current era. Although they were all at the Limit level, it would be difficult for Xuan Zi and the unwell Mu En to face even one of them in a two-on-one fight.
Mu En might be able to take one down by burning his Origin, but Xuan Zi likely wouldn't be able to. Combined with the Spacetime Light of the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, without Divine Sense to fall back on, a total wipeout was possible.
The two Limit Douluos were extremely fast, and since Huo Yuhao's physical strength was also at the Titled level, by using his Soul Core to fully power his Battle Armor, the three of them soon arrived at the Mingdou Mountain Range.
"Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, I will use my Simulation Spirit Ability to hide your figures. Entering the Sun Moon Empire with our identities is still too sensitive."
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a wave of spirit power rippled, and the three of them vanished from the Mingdou Mountain Range.
Inside the Evil Demon Forest, Huo Yuhao used his Divine Sense to begin searching for traces of 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrants, trying to find one with a cultivation level close to 200,000 years.
Knowing the relationship between the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrants and the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, Huo Yuhao didn't plan to act himself. Instead, he intended to have Xuan Zi help him end the battle quickly.
With the help of Destiny Power, Huo Yuhao soon found an Evil Eye Tyrant with a 250,000-year cultivation.
This Evil Eye had sixteen tentacles, which, like its massive evil eye, were silver-white—the characteristic of a single-attribute mental-type Evil Eye.
At that moment, the Evil Eye Tyrant was about to go find its food for the day when it saw Huo Yuhao's group of three suddenly appear.
Before it could react to what was happening, it was dazed by Huo Yuhao's Soul Shock, which utilized a massive amount of mental force. Immediately after, it was beaten into a near-death state by Xuan Zi's Gravity Control.
Huo Yuhao took the Evil Eye Tyrant thrown by Xuan Zi and used his Divine Sense to kill it completely.
Under the powerful attack of Divine Sense, the Evil Eye Tyrant couldn't even hide inside its silver-white crystal to fake death, and a blood-red spirit ring slowly rose.
At the same time, the Evil Emperor's roar echoed. Huo Yuhao knew that the Evil Emperor was about to begin indiscriminate attacks in all directions.
He immediately took out a Spirit Ring Storage Spirit Tool he had rushed to make earlier, stored the Evil Eye Tyrant's spirit ring inside, and then told Mu En and Xuan Zi to retreat quickly.
"Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, fighting the Evil Emperor here is disadvantageous for us. I'll use my mental force to shield our aura. Let's retreat quickly."
Upon hearing this, Mu En and Xuan Zi used their spirit power to carry Huo Yuhao and raced toward the edge of the Evil Demon Forest under the cover of the Simulation Spirit Ability.
Seeing the Evil Emperor using its mental force for a large-scale attack to try and force out Huo Yuhao's group, Huo Yuhao once again used Destiny Power to forcibly neutralize the attack.
The figures of Huo Yuhao and the others seemed as if they didn't exist in this space; the Evil Emperor's attack passed straight through them without causing any damage.
