Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 227 The Tragedy and Huo Zhanji

"Today is a good day!"

"I'll pick a flower for my mom~"

"Mommy, Mommy, look! It's a flower!"

In the Arctic Ocean of Douluo Star, a small white shark swims happily in the sea. Its streamlined and beautiful body allows it to almost ignore the resistance of the water, like an underwater motorcycle.

Bai Xiuxiu had a sea spirit flower attached to her dorsal fin. This flower only grows in dark underwater canyons and is a rare and precious water-attribute material.

She finally managed to snatch the flower from a giant, ancient octopus whose tentacles were like clarinets and whose music was awful.

"Let me see if there's anything good here that I can bring back for this kind person."

"A deep-sea pineapple? And a millennia-old shaping sponge?"

“A really nice person definitely wouldn’t like that.”

"Change it."

On the beach at the bottom of the sea, a giant underwater pineapple sits close together with an ancient sponge and a sea snail, wary of the hungry sharks above.

Bai Xiuxiu wasn't interested in them; any normal sea spirit beast wouldn't be interested in a clump of sponges.

Despite their extremely weak combat power and bloodline, this type of soul beast has many soul beasts at the ten-thousand-year level, mainly because they are unpalatable.

These kinds of spirit beasts are called Deep Sea Poop by sea spirit beasts, and eating them is no different from eating poop.

"Is that a dragon blood tuna?"

"Good stuff! Grab it!"

"I'll split my belly in two, one half for my mother, and the other half for that wonderful person!"

Bai Xiuxiu's eyes revealed surprise as she locked onto the deep blue soul beast speeding ahead. Its body was covered with dragon scales that shimmered with silver light, highlighting its extraordinary defense.

With a "whoosh" sound, the ice spikes that Bai Xiuxiu had conjured sliced ​​through the surrounding seawater and rushed toward the dragon blood tuna that was speeding along.

The ice spikes pierced the abdomen of the Dragonblood Tuna without any surprise, and the scarlet blood spread throughout the ocean, forming a cloud of blood mist.

"Humph."

"I'm so amazing!"

"The first shot hit the target!"

"Time to collect the fish."

"Ugh?"

Just as Bai Xiuxiu was about to swoop down and snatch the dragon blood tuna, which was theoretically incapacitated, she was about to do so.

Then they saw the dragon blood tuna break through the blood mist, its face filled with terror as it continued to speed forward.

Completely oblivious to Bai Xiuxiu, their natural enemy above them, and the penetrating wound on their bodies, they seemed to be facing some great terror from behind.

"not dead?"

"A few more rounds!"

Five extremely cold ice spikes, starting from Bai Xiuxiu, split into five graceful trails and shot towards the tuna rushing below.

"Pfft~"

Five chilling sounds of flesh being torn apart came from below, and the dragon blood tuna lost its life completely in the blood mist.

Bai Xiuxiu swooped down excitedly, snatched the delicious tuna in the shark's mouth, and immediately enveloped the tuna's body with her cold breath to keep it fresh.

The hungry shark, overjoyed at catching its rare prey, failed to notice that the tuna's pale golden eyes were fixed on its back until its death.

"Let's go."

Bai Xiuxiu led the tuna and sped towards the stronghold of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

She didn't notice that the surrounding seawater was beginning to faintly reveal a purplish-black hue.

As the mount of the first Sea God, the Demon Soul Great White Shark is among the fastest of all sea spirit beasts.

Countless years of evolution have given them bodies perfectly adapted to the extreme speeds of the sea and sharp teeth; these "weapons" have made them the top predators in the ocean.

In the past, only the Demon Orca clan could barely suppress them, and the two sides even fought back and forth, with each side having its own victories and defeats.

With her body perfectly adapted to the ocean, Bai Xiuxiu quickly ventured deep into the Arctic Ocean, where the water temperature was higher than that of the icy sea, which was exactly the temperature that the Demon Soul Great White Shark preferred.

Bai Xiuxiu realized something was wrong; it was too quiet around her.

"strangeness."

"Where's the fish?"

"Where did all those marlin from the Arctic Ocean go? I was thinking of bringing some back for that kind man."

Bai Xiuxiu instinctively began to slow down, increase her vigilance, and gradually amplify her senses through her mental power.

"wait wait wait!"

"how come?!"

Bai Xiuxiu released the dragon blood tuna she was holding in her mouth, her eyes revealing disbelief.

She accelerated instantly and sped towards a stretch of sea to her left.

As she swam through the water, the strong smell of blood entered Bai Xiuxiu's nose along with the seawater, and the deep blue ocean around her even revealed a blood-red hue.

The Great White Shark's powerful sense of smell and its accumulated knowledge of the ocean over thousands of years allowed Bai Xiuxiu to almost immediately identify the owners of these mixed bloods.

That was the blood of countless sea spirit beasts living in the Arctic Ocean intertwined together.

Soon, Bai Xiuxiu saw a large number of sea spirit beast remains in front of her. Crimson blood almost filled her entire field of vision. Her normally sensitive sense of smell was now rendered useless due to the variety of blood types.

Bai Xiuxiu stood there, stunned, unable to believe what she was seeing.

The remains of countless sea spirit beasts rose and fell.

The remains of the sea spirit beasts were intertwined, and the eyes of some of the remaining heads of the sea spirit beasts revealed fear.

Bai Xiuxiu could vaguely discern that some of these remains were sea spirit beasts she had seen before, and they were quite powerful.

But she had no time to reminisce about them now; she immediately turned around and headed towards the territory of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

What on earth happened in the ocean?!

"mom!"

"Mom! Where are you?!"

Bai Xiuxiu was extremely panicked. Although she knew that the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was very strong and even had the protection of the Sea God, the tragic state of the Arctic Ocean made her feel uneasy.

The familiar smell of blood made Bai Xiuxiu completely lose control of her tears and sobs.

"no no!"

"This is impossible!"

That bloody smell belonged to the Demon Soul Great White Shark; it was the blood of her brethren.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to slow down to avoid that potential reality, but her worry for her mother made her speed up wildly.

She was moving at top speed in the water like a bullet, and if she accidentally bumped into something, a bloody hole would immediately appear in her body.

"This can't be real! Waaaaah!"

Bai Xiuxiu gradually stopped. Countless corpses surrounded her, fragments of her people's bodies. The seawater was mixed with thick blood, and the stench of blood completely ruined her sense of smell.

"run………"

A faint voice reached Bai Xiuxiu's ears. She manipulated the seawater to part the surrounding remains and saw a demon soul great white shark cosplaying as 2.5-bar Wu, warning her in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Elder Ling!"

"How are you?"

"how so………"

With tears streaming down her face, Bai Xiuxiu approached the Demon Soul Great White Shark and frantically tried to freeze the seawater to stabilize its injuries.

"it's useless."

"Xiuxiu, run!"

"That thing is back!"

"run!!!"

After uttering its final warning, the enormous demonic great white shark breathed its last, and crimson spirit rings appeared around its body.

"Elder!" "Mother!"

"Mom! Where are you?!"

Bai Xiuxiu ran around like a madwoman, searching for her mother.

Thick blood obscured her vision, and the remains of her own kind crashed into her, including some of her playmates.

Just a few days ago, they were playing together.

Finally, guided by her bloodline, she came to a deep blue bead that emitted a faint glow.

That's the Shark Pearl, a heirloom of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, something only the King can possess.

The fact that this thing could appear here speaks volumes about the fate of his mother; she has been reduced to ashes.

"Mother………"

"Why!!!"

"how so!!"

"Who is it?"

"Where is the sea god? Where is the god who was promised to protect us?!"

"Why didn't it appear?! Why?!"

"Mom, please, come back soon..."

Bai Xiuxiu writhed in agony, stirring up large amounts of seawater. With tears in her eyes, she poured her spiritual energy into the shark pearl. Before she could even process the information within, an extremely terrifying aura spread throughout the entire sea area.

A frenzied and twisted killing intent instantly locked onto Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu's ability to think was momentarily overwhelmed by the overwhelming madness and momentum.

"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be a little one."

"I almost missed you."

"Little one, come, come into my belly and reunite with your people!!!"

A frantic sound shook the entire sea, and the turbulent currents nearly made Bai Xiuxiu faint.

She immediately realized that the owner of the voice was the one who had killed her entire clan.

Overwhelming hatred overwhelmed her fear and physical instincts, and she stared intently at the huge black shadow in front of her.

"It's you!!"

"asshole!!"

Bai Xiuxiu recklessly burned her soul power, her white body now covered in ice crystals, and then instantly accelerated to her limit, rushing towards the black shadow.

"Instead of trying to run away, you're actually charging at me?"

"A cute little shark."

A mad, mocking voice echoed through the sea as a hundred-meter-long water whip lashed Bai Xiuxiu's body, sending her crashing into the seabed reef below at an even greater speed.

"what!!!"

Pain surged from all parts of her body into Bai Xiuxiu's brain. She endured the pain and sent commands through her brain to her body, but it did nothing but cause her body to writhe meaninglessly.

Her spine was broken in the impact.

The Demon Emperor, bored by Bai Xiuxiu's performance, opened his mouth, and from his abyssal maw flowed the screams of countless vengeful spirits—the souls of sea spirit beasts.

A terrifying suction force surged from her mouth, and a massive amount of seawater carried Bai Xiuxiu's body toward the abyss.

"Someone save me! I haven't gotten my revenge yet! I can't die!"

"O sea god, why don't you show us miracles? Aren't we your most faithful followers?"

"Mother………"

Tears streamed down Bai Xiuxiu's face, mingling with the seawater and plunging into the abyss behind her.

"Ugh."

A sacred and ethereal voice rang in Bai Xiuxiu's ears, and the eye mark on her tail fin glowed faintly.

Colorful ripples appeared on the seabed, and a white wave shimmering with colorful energy burst forth from the ripples.

The seawater was instantly wiped out upon contact with the slash, leaving a vacuum in the deep sea!
The Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he closed his mouth. A massive amount of purplish-black soul power formed a purplish-black energy ball in front of him. The seawater spun rapidly under its compression, and the seabed reefs were crushed into powder by the immense pressure just by touching them.

Soon, the two completely different lights began to collide, but the intertwining and tearing of their powers that the Demon Emperor had predicted did not occur.

The white, iridescent slash erased a section of the purplish-black energy sphere like an eraser, causing the energy sphere to instantly go out of control. The terrifying power formed a large vortex on the seabed, obscuring all vision.

The colorful ripples had already pulled Bai Xiuxiu into them. The Demon Emperor immediately transformed into human form to dodge the attack. Enraged, she swung her hand and forcefully tore the vortex apart.

Looking at the sea, now completely devoid of any beasts, she roared madly.

"Who is it?!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Okay!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"They all love to oppose me! I will slaughter these filthy sea god worshippers!"

The Demon Emperor's figure transformed into a purple meteor, speeding across the ocean towards the western sea.

Bai Xiuxiu vaguely remembered being pulled into colorful ripples and realizing that she had been saved by an unknown entity.

She struggled to open her eyes and saw a towering figure in a strange space, surrounded by white light. Just looking at him sent a flood of information overwhelming her brain.

Before he finally fainted, a string of information remained in his mind.

"The great omniscient and omnipotent one, above all things, the master of spirit."

Bai Xiuxiu murmured:

"god………"

Huo Yuhao, looking down at the unconscious Hungry Shark in the dream space, casually tossed her into the icy sea and said:
"This little guy, he really dares to look at me."

Because his control over the authority of the [Dream] has deepened to 30%, he can now slightly reveal his status as the ruler of the divine kingdom within the dream space.

"My fish, take a nap."

"I'll need you to help me become the Pirate King in the future."

…………

The forest near Xingluo City in the Xingluo Empire of the Douluo Continent.

A child with black hair and black eyes struggled to open his eyes, then got up and looked around at the scene with a blank expression.

"What's happening here?"

"Is this the Douluo World?"

"But where is my control panel?"

"Can I force logout?"

"Where's the guiding sound?!"

Huo Zhanji stood up, looking completely bewildered, leaning against a large tree. If anyone who knew Huo Yuhao saw his face, they would be amazed, as they bore at least an 80% resemblance.

He vaguely remembered that he was entering the Douluo World for the third time. At the beginning, the mission was abnormal, prompting him to go to the first act of Peerless Tang Sect.

The game crashed again. Now, I don't even know where I am anymore, and the notification sounds that were there at the start of the game have disappeared.

"Wasn't the Douluo World created by many powerful beings together?"

"I've heard that there are quite a few deities among them."

"How can errors keep occurring?"

"Where is this place?"

　Huo Zhanji: The son of Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong in the original timeline, who inherited his father's surname.

　　Douluo World: A world of reality and illusion created by numerous god-kings in the Great God Circle.

　　The above is the setting of the Douluo Continent spin-off, Douluo World.

　　Note: Huo Zhanji is not Huo Yuhao's child in this world.
