Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 414 God-level Eye of Destiny, Wang Dong'er Falls into a Coma
With only three months left until the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, the Gula Team, representing the main campus of Shrek Academy, and the Huo Yuhao Team, representing the Tang Sect, are engaged in intense training.

On the arena, Gula, wielding the Sun Holy Sword formed from condensed light and flame, moved with lightning speed and easily defeated Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, Xiao Xiao, and Bei Bei from the Tang Clan team.

He didn't even use any soul skills; he relied solely on his exquisite swordsmanship and overwhelming soul power level to overwhelm his opponent.

In the fifth round, Xu Sanshi was eager to go on stage when his team leader, Bei Bei, grabbed him.

Bei Bei smiled wryly and said to Huo Yuhao beside her, "Yuhao, you should go. Gula is too strong. This kind of tag-team battle won't be effective for training. We'll just get crushed."

His tone was full of helplessness, and he could only hope that Huo Yuhao would create a miracle.

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly and leaped onto the arena.

Seeing this, Vice Dean Yan Shaozhe, acting as the referee, loudly announced, "The fifth match begins!"

Without a word, Gula raised his hand and swung his sword. A blazing, dazzling solar sword aura, seemingly capable of purifying everything, tore through the air and headed straight for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a pale golden light, and he activated his mental detection to the fullest extent, narrowly dodging the attack.

The sword energy grazed his body and landed on the specially made arena, leaving a scorched mark.

Missing his first attack, Gula charged forward, the Sun Holy Sword sweeping across with overwhelming power.

Huo Yuhao dared not take the attack head-on, so he instantly unleashed a group weakness and mental interference, followed by an invisible mental shock, attempting to disrupt Gula's mind.

However, Gula's steps forward did not falter in the slightest, and his face even carried a hint of leisurely composure.

He spoke calmly, his voice clearly reaching Huo Yuhao's ears: "I've told you before, my second martial soul is mental. Your mental techniques have little effect on me."

Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly to himself. He knew that Gula had a second martial soul, but he did not expect that the opponent's mental resistance was so ridiculously high.

He secretly wondered, "Could it be... that he has already added a spirit ring to his second spirit? Is that why he broke through to the Spirit Saint level? But his first spirit's spirit ring configuration was already so terrifying, could his second spirit be..."

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind, startling him so much that he quickly shook his head and dismissed it: "Impossible, there can't be that many 100,000-year-old soul beasts..."

In a flash, Huo Yuhao switched to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, and the Eternal Frozen Domain instantly unfolded, causing the temperature of the entire arena to plummet, as if it had turned into the Arctic ice plains.

The angelic wings behind Gula fluttered gently, and even more intense and dazzling holy light shone down, rivaling the frozen realm. Even the extreme ice could only slowly melt in the face of the ultimate light.

Huo Yuhao dared not hesitate and summoned the Snow Maiden's spirit, joining forces to unleash one of the Snow Emperor's three ultimate techniques—the Emperor's Palm—Great Cold Without Snow!
The force of the palm strike seemed to freeze the very air.

Faced with this fierce attack, the vertical line between Gula's eyebrows quietly appeared, and the Eye of Destiny was activated.

At the same time, he secretly added the ability of the Eye of Appraisal to it temporarily.

This is a wonderful use he recently discovered, which allows the Eye of Destiny to reach a god-like level in a short period of time, enabling it to glimpse more high-level information.

The power of waveguides moves at will, changing freely.

In an instant, Gula seemed to see through all the ice-type laws and power techniques contained in Huo Yuhao's palm strike.

He also thrust out a palm, arriving first despite being behind, his palm containing a highly compressed and condensed violent flame, yet not a trace of energy leaked out.

Clap your palms together!

boom--! ! !
Ice and fire, two extreme elements, collided violently, creating a massive explosion. The shockwave made the protective shield at the edge of the arena vibrate and hum.

Using the force of the explosion, Gula floated backward and landed steadily, completely unharmed.

Huo Yuhao was so shocked that his blood and qi surged, and he staggered back several steps before regaining his balance, his face full of astonishment.

He lowered his head dejectedly: "I lost."

He looked at Gula's now-hidden forehead and asked curiously, "Was that third eye you had just seen... your second martial soul?"

Gula shook his head, keeping everyone in suspense: "No. You'll have a chance to see it in the future."

Huo Yuhao stepped down, and Xu Sanshi immediately took the stage, but the result was as expected; he was still no match for Gula.

In the end, Gura accomplished the feat of defeating seven opponents single-handedly.

He walked to Yan Shaozhe's side at the sidelines and said directly, "Dean, I can't be of any use here for sparring. Let them practice on their own. With the soul tools I provided, once they're familiar with them, their internal battles will be evenly matched. I need to ask for leave to go out and see some friends."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Gula. Although he disliked Gula's overly enthusiastic attitude towards soul tools, he thought of his teacher Mu En's dying wish and that Gula had indeed not delayed his own cultivation but instead made rapid progress in strength. So he didn't say much and readily approved the vacation.

Gula left Shrek Academy and used his spatial abilities to teleport away.

His destination was the Douling Empire.

Two years ago, he sent his avatar, Ming Baixue, with the help of his clone, to establish a sect called "Natural Gate" in this country where noble forces were deeply entrenched and the royal family was in decline.

By controlling a local nobleman, he easily gained official recognition. The reason he named it "Nature Gate" was to match his identity as the Child of Nature and to receive some kind of divine blessing, so that he wouldn't be exposed so quickly.

When Gula's main body arrived at the somewhat rudimentary, empty-framed mountain gate of the Natural Gate, Ming Baixue and her clone, who had already sensed it, came to greet it.

The moment the three come together, memories and insights automatically synchronize.

Gula nodded: "Having an official identity is good. The Sun Moon Empire allowed sects to participate this time, most likely to find out the hidden forces of the Douluo Three Kingdoms. The Douluo Three Kingdoms were probably forced to agree, but now that they have, they definitely want to flex their muscles."

Ming Baixue's cold voice rang out: "But during the competition, you'd better stay here with us. If someone tries to cheat us, the seven of us won't be able to stop a Super Douluo if we don't expose our battle armor."

Gula smiled. "Don't worry, I'll definitely prioritize our own people. I'll stay here most of the time; one clone is enough to handle the daily tasks at Shrek Academy. However..."

A wicked smile crept across his face. "When our two teams meet on the field, I'll be taking to the field in my true form."

A hint of eagerness flashed in Ming Baixue's eyes. She was also curious to know whether the seven avatars working together could defeat the original body in its normal state.

After making the arrangements, Gula traveled back to the timeline of the Dragon King Legend and brought back the other six incarnations—Bai Yuan, Yin Wansheng, Mu Yi, Liu Niandao, Qing Liuli, and Bo Xi.

They had already taken extended leave from their respective factions and could temporarily detach themselves.

After settling his six avatars behind the Gate of Nature, Cooler's true form returned to Shrek Academy.

However, as soon as he returned to the academy, he heard the news that Wang Dong'er had suddenly fallen into a coma.

Huo Yuhao was extremely anxious, remembering the brocade pouch that Wang Dong'er had given him before.

After opening it, he learned that Wang Dong'er had an extraordinary background. Her soul ring was not obtained by hunting soul beasts, but by "retrieving" the power sealed within herself.

When she obtained her fifth spirit ring, a loophole appeared in the seal, causing her body to collapse from the strain.

The brocade pouch also contained a map pointing to a place called "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye," where it was said that there was a magical herb that could save Wang Dong'er.

Huo Yuhao didn't dare to delay and hurriedly set off with the map in hand.

Gula learned of this news the next day. He went to check on Wang Dong'er and confirmed that she had indeed fallen into a self-protective coma due to her body's inability to withstand the enormous energy.

"But...that's strange..."

Gulamo stroked his chin, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "Could Tang San be so prescient? Did he write the secret pouch in advance, calculating that only Huo Yuhao, the chosen one, could obtain the immortal herb to save his daughter? This seems more like a test targeting Huo Yuhao, especially the 'Heartbreak Red'..."

He looked out the window, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"But Tang San... you're probably going to miscalculate."

"I emptied out the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in my first year in the Peerless Time and Space."

……

With the help of the map and a determination to save Wang Dong'er, Huo Yuhao traveled day and night, flying desperately towards his destination.

Without Wang Qiu'er's guidance and help, he spent a lot of time and energy just finding the right path in the vast Soul Beast Forest.

When he finally found the valley shrouded in poisonous miasma according to the map, and relied on the powerful resistance of his Extreme Ice Martial Soul to the poison to enter it with great difficulty, the scene in front of him struck him like lightning, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

In the center of the valley, the legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire still exists, half ice blue and half crimson, with gurgling spring water emitting strange energy fluctuations.

However, the area around the spring, which should have been filled with countless exotic flowers, rare herbs, and medicinal plants, was now completely empty!

Forget about immortal herbs, there wasn't even a decent spiritual herb left; only some ordinary weeds stubbornly grew around the edge of the spring.

"No... Impossible..."

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, his face turning deathly pale. "Could it be that Dong'er's father remembered the wrong place? But the environment here... is clearly the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

"Where are the immortal herbs? Where did all those immortal herbs go?! Could it be... that someone beat them to it?!"

The thought of Wang Dong'er still unconscious at Shrek Academy, her life force barely aroused Huo Yuhao's heart.

He forced himself to calm down, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. He desperately tried to think of a solution.

"Haotian Sect! Yes, there's also Haotian Sect!"

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Huo Yuhao's eyes. "Dong'er is the young sect master of the Haotian Sect. The two sect masters, Niu Tian and Titan, are incredibly powerful. They must have other ways to save Dong'er."

He didn't even have time to catch his breath. He immediately turned around, dragged his exhausted body, and soared into the sky again, desperately flying towards the direction of the Haotian Sect.

After several days of traveling without sleep, Huo Yuhao had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were chapped, but the anxiety and determination in his eyes had not diminished at all.

When he finally arrived at Haotian Sect, after being informed, he met Niu Tian and Titan, and almost used his last bit of strength to tell them about the changes at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"What?! The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has been completely emptied?! Even the Acacia Heartbreak Red is gone?!"

Titan, known for his fiery temper, immediately exploded upon hearing this, his voice booming, "Isn't that thing said to require the deepest love and devotion to retrieve? Who could possibly take it so easily?!"

Huo Yuhao nodded blankly. Now that things had come to this, a hint of doubt began to rise in his heart, feeling that all of this seemed too coincidental.

But when he thought about the demanding harvesting conditions of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, he felt that he might be overthinking it. Perhaps some lovelorn person had indeed picked the immortal herb by chance.

Niu Tian's expression was equally grim, but he was much calmer than Titan. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Since the immortal herb is lost, we will think of other ways. There is always a way out."

"Are there any other ways?" Huo Yuhao asked anxiously, as if grasping at the last straw.

Niu Tian shook his head, not answering directly, but instead winked at Titan: "Second brother, keep an eye on the sect, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he flashed and flew towards the "Ascension Pavilion" in the forbidden area of ​​Haotian Sect.

Inside the Ascension Pavilion, Niu Tian activated a hidden array, attempting to contact Tang San in the God Realm. The God Realm has rules against easily interfering with the lower realms.

After being resurrected by Tang San, the two of them became level 100 divine officials. They were essentially "smuggled" to the mortal realm to protect the Haotian Sect and Tang Wutong. Contacting them was quite troublesome and risky.

After waiting for a full day, the formation finally lit up slightly, and a majestic yet ethereal voice slowly drifted over, tinged with displeasure:

"Da Ming, what is so urgent? Didn't I say not to contact me unless absolutely necessary? The God of Destruction has been keeping an eye on me; I can't let him find any fault with me."

Niu Tian's face showed bitterness, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Lord Sea God, things have changed. Dong'er, according to your plan, fainted at the opportune moment to test Huo Yuhao. But..."

"But we sent him to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to find the Acacia Heartbreak Red, only to find that... someone beat him to it, and all the immortal herbs have vanished! Dong'er is now in grave danger, what should we do?"

"what?!"

At the other end of the formation, Tang San's voice suddenly rose, filled with astonishment, "The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has been emptied? How is this possible?!"

He immediately tried to sense the hidden divine thought he had left in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, but as expected, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.

A surge of rage and a hint of suspicion welled up in Tang San's heart: "Damn it! Who on earth could have bypassed my senses, silently erased my divine consciousness, and emptied my immortal herbs?! There must be someone in the God Realm who is working against me!"

His first suspect was the God of Destruction, with whom he had always disagreed on ideology, but he quickly dismissed that idea himself.

"No, if the God of Destruction had discovered my little tricks, he would definitely have used this as an excuse to cause trouble. It's impossible for things to be so calm..."

Tang San forcibly suppressed his doubts and anger. He recalled that he had sensed a brief interference from a power in the lower realm, which made him even more convinced that a god was plotting against him in the dark.

He sneered inwardly: "No matter who you are, daring to ruin my plans, you're already courting death!"

He pondered for a moment and asked, "When Huo Yuhao went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, was there a transformed soul beast accompanying him? You may not be able to tell, but if you sense carefully, you should be able to find some clues."

He also suspected that the mysterious forces of fate were interfering after the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, had transformed into human form.

Niu Tian shook his head and said, "Huo Yuhao came alone, and I haven't heard of anyone accompanying him."

Tang San's face grew even uglier. Sure enough, his meticulously planned scheme had been disrupted. "Damn it!"

Just as he was rapidly pondering which deity was behind the attack and how to remedy the situation, Niu Tian couldn't help but urge him again:
"Lord Sea God, Dong'er is still unconscious, and her breath is getting weaker and weaker. Is there any other way to save her?"

A barely perceptible hint of impatience flashed in Tang San's eyes.

He had his daughter, Tang Wutong, seal her memories and the mortal realm, ostensibly under the guise of "rebuilding," but in reality, it was a three-pronged plan:
He wanted his daughter to establish a solid foundation in the potential world of Douluo Continent, so that she wouldn't become an immortal "idle" without a divine position in the God Realm—how could his daughter be worthy of his status if she didn't have a divine position?

Incidentally, they also bound Huo Yuhao, who was favored by the fortune of this plane and possessed the potential to become a god-king, to their son-in-law, and then used Huo Yuhao to revitalize the declining Tang Sect.

However, as a God King, he knew that no plan was foolproof. Tang San quickly calmed down, his mind racing.

"The plan...has not completely failed yet."

Tang San's voice regained its calmness, even carrying a hint of unfathomable mystery, "Since the path to immortal herbs is blocked, then let's try another way. Da Ming, listen carefully..."
