Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 446 The Final Journey (Part 2)

As the flames slowly dissipated, everyone on the field had vanished.

Whether it was the seven elemental gods, Zhou Weiqing, or the Shrek Seven Devils, they all silently vanished into nothingness.

Without leaving a trace.

"That's too strong!"

The God of Pride stared in shock at Huo Yuhao, who had completed a massacre in just a few seconds, and couldn't help but murmur aloud.

Even they, as gods of original sin, never expected that Huo Yuhao, who had fused with the origins of the seven original sins, would become so powerful.

It's simply beyond imagination.

But what is the price?

The God of Lust scanned Huo Yuhao's body and saw that he looked as if he was about to shatter, with hideous cracks covering his skin, as if he would fall apart at any moment.

"How are you?"

"I won't die for now; I can sustain myself for the second half."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, completely ignoring his own injuries, and turned to look at Rong Nianbing.

"Teacher, please keep an eye on things here. I need to deal with those last two people."

"I see."

Rong Nianbing nodded with a somewhat complicated expression. As Huo Yuhao was about to turn and leave, he subconsciously opened his mouth to speak, but after stammering for a long time, he could only utter a question.

"Does it really have to go this far?"

Huo Yuhao paused, but did not turn around.

There are always some things that must be done, no matter what.

He raised his head, gazing at the majestic ancient castle in the distance, a symbol of the center of power in the divine realm, as if his gaze had pierced through the walls and seen the figure recovering his power through the central hub of the divine realm, and coldly declared.

"He must die."

Rong Nianbing smiled wryly: "As expected, when disciples rebel, it's always the teacher who has the biggest headache."

As if knowing he couldn't persuade the other party, he said, "Then go, let me see just how dazzling the light you radiate before you die can be."

Huo Yuhao smiled, and just as he was about to soar into the sky, a voice suddenly interrupted his actions.

"Wait a moment."

He subconsciously turned his head to look and saw a figure with long, light blue hair walking quickly toward him.

"I want to go with you."

Huo Yuhao frowned, and almost instinctively retorted, "No."

However, Qiu'er was not discouraged by this, or rather, from the very beginning, she did not intend to discuss this with Huo Yuhao.

"Even after all these times, you still don't seem to learn your lesson."

She leaned closer, completely ignoring the fact that her breath was already touching Huo Yuhao's lips, and said, word by word.

"Have I ever listened to you on something like this?"

"."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao couldn't refute her, she curled her lips as if in victory, reached into the flames, and gently traced his eyebrows and eyes with her fingers.

"And didn't you just say not long ago that you wanted me to be with you until death? How come you've changed your mind so quickly?"

"This isn't a question of whether it will change or not."

Huo Yuhao said seriously, "This is no joke."

"I wasn't joking with you."

Qiu'er moved a little closer, but stopped abruptly just as their foreheads were about to touch.

Enjoying this ambiguous distance, her tone unconsciously softened.

"If you don't want to, then just push me away."

She solemnly told Huo Yuhao, "I am now placing the choice in your hands. Whether you choose to walk the road to the underworld alone, or let me die with you, Huo Yuhao, the decision is yours."

"If I make a decision, will you follow it?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"I will," Qiu'er smiled.

Huo Yuhao remained silent.

After a long while, he sighed softly, leaned forward, and made up the last distance, pressing his forehead against Qiu'er's.

Then, the Eye of Destiny opened, and he guided the other's soul, little by little, from its original body into his own.

For no apparent reason, looking at this scene, he suddenly recalled the scene when Qiu'er asked him for a kiss. Thinking that he had broken his vow in a daze back then, he couldn't help but laugh.

"As expected, I'm still not good at saying no."

"yes."

Qiu'er, unusually, did not refute, but nodded in agreement.

"Maybe in your next life you'll be even worse, becoming a scumbag who never takes the initiative, never refuses, leaves a trail of broken hearts, and enjoys toying with young girls' hearts."

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "That's terrifying!"

"Is it scary?"

Qiu'er chuckled, "Then why don't you take full responsibility for everything, just like you did for me?"

"Ahem, let's talk about that in the next life."

Seemingly not wanting to dwell on this issue too much, Huo Yuhao subconsciously quickened the pace of the guidance.

Finally, as Tang Wutong's body slowly collapsed as if it had lost its support, Qiu'er's soul completely entered Huo Yuhao's body.

After taking one last look at the unconscious figure lying on the ground, Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and disappeared from the spot.

"Third Brother, does it have to be this way?"

Seeing Tang San making some kind of preparation as he passed through the central hub of the God Realm, Xiao Wu couldn't help but offer some advice.

"Yuhao, what's this about Qiankun Wenqing Valley? Is there some misunderstanding? Why did he suddenly become like this? He's Xiaoqi's husband. Can't we just talk things out?"

Even now, she still fantasizes about the possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.

However, Tang San shook his head.

"It's no use, Xiao Wu, you saw it yourself. He's been bewitched by that soul beast and won't listen to my advice at all."

Now that things have come to this, he naturally cannot reveal what he did in Qiankun Wenqing Valley. All he can do is try his best to shift the blame to Huo Yuhao and use every means to completely eliminate him.

"Furthermore, Huo Yuhao has already killed Oscar and Boss Dai. If we forgive him so easily, how will we explain ourselves to them when they are resurrected in the future?"

Xiao Wu didn't speak again, as if Tang San's words had stirred up the tragic memories from earlier, and her eyes were filled with sadness.

Although she knew that her dead comrades could be resurrected with the help of Ji Dong and Lie Yan, the sight of their heads exploding before her eyes still sent chills down her spine.

Why did things turn out this way?

She murmured softly, causing Tang San to pause almost imperceptibly.

But he quickly suppressed his frustration and continued operating the machine.

Whatever the reason, since Huo Yuhao dared to betray him, he should be prepared to die!

He had already seen everything that had just happened through the central hub of the divine realm.

He originally thought that since the other party had fused with the power of the original sin god, he should be doomed.

Upon closer inspection through the divine realm's central hub, it was discovered that this kid not only survived, but also used this power to slaughter everyone, including the elemental gods, in just a few seconds.

Although everyone had gone through a major battle and their condition was certainly far from their peak, even he couldn't have resolved everything so easily, not even in his prime.

Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao's power at this moment is something I can't contend with.

Fortunately, he also had a countermeasure.

That is the central hub of the divine realm right before our eyes.

For non-members of the Divine Realm Committee, entering the castle is extremely difficult, especially the top floor where the Divine Realm's central hub is located. It is not only the power center of the Divine Realm, but also the last line of defense for the Divine Realm in the event of a major crisis.

Imagine how terrifying a crisis could be that forced the five God-Kings of the God Realm to hide in the God Realm Committee. And how exaggerated must the defensive capabilities of a castle be, considering such an extreme situation that almost only exists in imagination from the very beginning of its construction?

Even though Huo Yuhao now possesses power surpassing that of ordinary God-Kings, he would still have to pay a huge price to break through the defenses.

Even more exaggeratedly, this guy might not even have a chance to break into the God Realm Committee before his power is exhausted, or he might even be burned to ashes by the life fire on his body.

As for him, he can stay here safely to recover his strength and wait for the right opportunity to deal with Huo Yuhao, whose condition is not as good as before, and easily win the final victory!

However, while the idea is wonderful, reality is often not so satisfactory.

Suddenly, the divine realm's central hub before him erupted with a blood-red warning light and began to operate automatically without warning.

Faced with the sudden burst of blood, Tang San was stunned for a moment, but then revealed a strong look of joy.

He knew that it was a belated divine punishment from the central authority of the divine realm, after they sensed that Huo Yuhao had slaughtered more than a dozen gods.

Perhaps because too many gods were killed at once, the central authority of the divine realm failed to react immediately as before, and only now has it completed the count of the dead gods and begun to devise an unprecedentedly severe punishment for the culprit.

However, before he could even imagine whether Huo Yuhao could survive this divine punishment, he found that the surrounding environment suddenly darkened.

Subconsciously looking outside, I saw that the sky above the castle was covered with dark clouds, and countless arcs of electricity surged from the clouds, brewing a violent aura that would destroy everything.

...How is this possible?!

Huo Yuhao actually appeared near the castle so quickly?

Staring blankly at everything happening before him, Tang San seemed to realize something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Miscalculation!

This guy did it on purpose! He wanted to use the divine punishment's lightning to destroy the defenses of the central divine realm!

Admittedly, the castle's top floor defenses are indeed formidable.

Even if the power of this thunder were increased tenfold, it might not be able to break through if attacked from the outside. However, the problem is that the thunder of divine punishment is an attack launched from within the central authority of the divine realm.

From the very beginning of the castle's design, the gods did not consider the possibility of someone sabotaging it from the inside. In addition, in order to maximize the defense of the castle's top floor, almost all existing defensive measures are designed to counter external attacks.

On the contrary, its interior can be described as extremely fragile.

Before he could react, Tang San watched helplessly as the lightning, like a giant sword, descended from the sky, piercing through the ceiling above him and then smashing a terrifyingly huge hole in the floor.

Then, with undiminished force, it brought the same destruction to the next level.

The once impregnable defenses were as fragile as paper in the face of the lightning. By the time they came to their senses, the ancient castle, which had more than ten floors, had been completely breached and pierced by the lightning.

Tang San's face turned ashen, but he had no time to think of any other solutions.

Because Huo Yuhao had already climbed out of the hole.

His skin, which had just been subjected to a lightning strike, was charred and peeled off in large patches, revealing the scarlet and hideous flesh inside, with residual arcs of electricity flickering from time to time.

Given such severe injuries, it's already incredible that this guy is still alive; it's hard to imagine what sustained him to reach Tang San.

"You've arrived."

Seeing that figure that seemed ready to collapse at any moment, Tang San suppressed his fear and pulled Xiao Wu, who was trying to stop him, back down, trying to make his tone sound as calm as possible.

"Where are Zhou Weiqing and the others?"

"They're all dead."

As if talking about some trivial matters, Huo Yuhao responded calmly, but his gaze fell on Tang San's hand, which was always resting on the central hub of the God Realm.

"I know you're stalling for time, trying to recover as much strength as possible, but unfortunately I'm in a hurry, so I don't have much time to chat with you."

Tang San's body stiffened for a moment, and his face turned somewhat gloomy.

But soon, he buried these negative emotions deep in his heart and instead showed a sincere expression.

"Yuhao, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. As I said before, everything I did was to better train you so that you could inherit my position."

"The path of every strong person is destined to be full of trials and tribulations, and you are the successor I, Tang San, have chosen, the one who will take over the God Realm in my place in the future. So, in order to prevent entrusting the wrong person to me, I naturally want to cultivate you into a strong person who can stand on his own. However, I did not expect that you would misunderstand my good intentions."

"Misunderstand?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh, and asked in a slightly playful tone.

"What, you're still not planning to give up on winning me over? I just wiped out all your companions, and now you're thinking of putting aside our past grievances?"

"This is not a big deal."

Tang San shook his head: "I just saw through the central hub of the God Realm that you let Wu Tong go. That's why I think you're not a bad person at heart. As long as you correct your ways now, it's not too late."

"As for those dead gods, I can ask the two god-kings of good and evil to help resurrect them. If you sincerely apologize, I believe they will forgive your impulsive act."

At this point, Tang San paused for a moment and slowly extended his palm toward Huo Yuhao.

"You are Wu Tong's husband. We shouldn't have ended up like this. I don't want to see your life and your talent wasted here. Stop now, and I will help you extinguish the flame of life and do everything I can to help you peel away the erosion of the original sin and save your life."

"And then lose the power to resist, becoming helpless and at the mercy of others?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled and finished the sentence he hadn't finished saying.

As he stared at Tang San's suddenly stiff expression, his eyes were instantly replaced by a violent glint.

"Now that we've finished talking, let's get down to business."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he arrived in front of Tang San and kicked him in the stomach.

So fast!

Tang San's pupils contracted slightly. He had just managed to complete the fusion of the two gods with Xiao Wu beside him when he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

An unimaginable force poured down on his body, causing him to instinctively arch into a shrimp shape and fly backward like a cannonball until he crashed into the wall, creating a human-shaped dent, before slowly falling to the ground.

How is that possible?

Tang San lay on the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood, his eyes wide with disbelief.

It seems that Huo Yuhao is becoming stronger than before, perhaps because his fusion with the source of original sin is gradually deepening!

He thought that even if he was no match for the enemy, he could at least stall for time, but he never expected the situation to be so one-sided.

Suddenly, a series of crisp footsteps interrupted his thoughts. Huo Yuhao walked up to him step by step, squatted down, and then roughly pulled up his long, light blue hair, raising it to the same height as his own.

"Time is of the essence, so there's no need for us to beat around the bush."

Huo Yuhao stared into the other person's pupils, which were trembling with fear, and asked the question word by word.

"Just tell me, how do you want to die?"

Like a nightmare, those calm, azure eyes, along with the chilling aura they held, were deeply imprinted in Tang San's memory from that moment on, becoming an inescapable nightmare.

But soon, a surge of anger dispelled the fear and filled Tang San's heart.

Never before had he been so humiliated. Enraged, a ferocious look appeared on his face. Without hesitation, he summoned the Asura Demon Sword and slashed straight at Huo Yuhao.

However, Huo Yuhao reacted even faster. The instant Tang San's expression changed, Huo Yuhao slammed Tang San's head against the hard floor without hesitation.

Boom-! ! !

Spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly. Fortunately, the materials used to build the castle were strong enough; otherwise, this single blow would have been enough to smash another large hole in the floor.

But Huo Yuhao didn't seem satisfied with the effect. He grabbed Tang San, who was still dizzy from being hit, and kept hitting him in the same spot with great relish.

One, two, three!

As deafening roars echoed throughout the castle, the cracks in the floor grew wider and wider. Finally, with a creak of breaking under the strain, the ravaged floor collapsed completely, turning into a large amount of rubble that crashed down to the lower levels.

Huo Yuhao and Tang San were in no better condition either.

The former, due to excessive force, caused its already severely damaged body to crack further, clearly reaching the brink of collapse.

Tang San was in an even more miserable state. His once pure and beautiful face was now a bloody mess, and even his once light blue hair was stained a dirty crimson with his own blood. If you looked closely, you could even see that his skull had begun to collapse.

"Phew, that feels pretty good."

After venting his frustrations, Huo Yuhao straightened up with some difficulty and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Immediately, he activated the original sin within his body once more, igniting the figure before him.

The pain acting on his soul caused Tang San, who was on the verge of unconsciousness, to suddenly widen his eyes and struggle violently as if he were going mad.

However, unlike Zhou Weiqing and others who were easily defeated by the Flames of Sin and were burned to nothingness in just a few seconds, Tang San's Asura God Power was able to resist the erosion of the flames to some extent, so the Flames of Sin did not harm him as much as others.

"It seems I've won this battle."

Tang San clearly realized this as well, and as he panted, a cold smile crept onto his lips.

"Your body can no longer support you using any other power. The only thing you can rely on is this flame. But before my Asura Divine Power is completely exhausted, your body will definitely give way first, and you will surely die!"

However, Huo Yuhao just stared at him expressionlessly until he felt a strange chill run down his spine, at which point he gave a strange smile.

"It's okay, I've prepared a backup plan for you."

He looked up at the spacetime turbulence that had not yet completely receded.

"This is the final ending for the two of us."

Tang San froze for a moment, then, after understanding Huo Yuhao's intention, he began to struggle violently.

"You're insane! You're a madman! Let me go!!!"

He roared hoarsely, as if he were insane.

"Damn it, if you're so eager to die, then go die yourself!!! Don't drag me down with you!!!"

But Huo Yuhao remained unmoved, ignoring Tang San's desperate struggles and holding him firmly in his hand.

"Ready? This final journey—begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he eagerly leaped into the air.

Like a fleeting firework, it rushed towards the distant gray fog.
