Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 604 The Five Elders Gathering (Daily 10,000 words)

Lie Huoxing looked in shock toward the source of the two terrifying auras, only to see two figures that made her tremble from the depths of her soul.

Above the icy spring, on the left, is a human girl. She is covered in snow and ice, wearing a beautiful white dress. Her deep blue eyes are clear and profound, as if they can reflect the heavens and the earth. Her long hair is draped behind her, turning into an ice-blue color, just like the ancient glacier.

An extremely cold aura instantly filled the air. In that instant, even the aura of the Blazing Yang Spring was completely suppressed by this terrifying cold.

Beside the Ice and Snow Maiden stood a little girl in a turquoise dress. Four turquoise magic runes adorned each side of her beautiful, fair face, and her long, dark green hair cascaded down her back. Her skin was as white as snow, with a faint turquoise glow emanating from beneath.

Although they were only spiritual entities, the auras of the two figures became increasingly solid under the nourishment of the icy spring.

The eight-horned soul beast, which had been sleeping in the center of the ice spring and was described by Huo Yuhao as resembling a spice, trembled involuntarily. In just an instant, she was deprived of her control over the ice spring water, which she had held for over ten thousand years.

The endless Yin Spring water danced merrily around the two girls, as if it had become their cheerleading squad. The two girls, with cold expressions, carried the enormous Yin Spring water across the entire Yang Spring and landed in front of the three-meter-tall red cabbage.

The two girls were none other than the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who had never appeared in Huo Yuhao's spirit rings!

The mental shockwave that Huo Yuhao had just unleashed with all his might spread outwards, its target not being the Fiery Apricot Tree, but rather the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass in the distance.

By merely severing the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass's control over the Yin Spring Water for a fleeting moment, the Ice and Snow Emperors had already gained complete control over the Yin Spring Water. Furthermore, by using the Yin Spring Water, they elevated their own aura to an extremely terrifying level in just a few breaths.

Even the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, which is also 100,000 years old like the Fiery Apricot, could not regain control of the Yin Spring in front of the two Ice and Snow Emperors who had recovered part of their cultivation. Without the nourishment of the Yin Spring, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass withered almost visibly, and its strength dropped by at least half.

The situation of the Fiery Apricot was even more dire than that of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

With a mere flick of his wrist, Hyotei forcibly stripped the Flaming Cabbage of its control over Yangquan.

The Snow Emperor calmly raised her hand, and a large amount of ice and snow condensed in mid-air, spreading from the sky to the ground.

The plants on the Ice Spring side are doing better, as they all prefer the cold. However, the plants on the Blazing Sun Spring side, having lost the protection of the Blazing Sun Spring's fiery aura and now facing the extreme low temperatures of the Extreme Ice, have begun to shiver. Many plants are emitting their own auras to resist the falling ice and snow.

Seeing that things were not going well, Youyou instinctively tried to control Wang Dong'er and threaten Huo Yuhao to stop.

A series of dark purple orbs of light condensed around her, aiming at Wang Dong'er beside her. This was one of the few offensive capabilities of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Beast. However, she was still a genuine 100,000-year-old soul beast. If Wang Dong'er were to take such a hit without activating her invincible shield, she would surely die.

But how could Huo Yuhao not have considered this?

Youyou felt a blur before her eyes, and a kind-faced old man stood in front of her carrying a two-meter-long giant sword formed from the water of Yangquan, radiating intense heat and light, and slapped her across the face.

"Snapped!"

No one knew why a condensed spiritual body could deliver a slap with physical attack, but Youyou was clearly stunned by the slap. The slap caused juice to splatter everywhere, and several petals fell off.

"You're going to hurt my goddaughter?"

"Grandpa Qian!"

The two voices rang out almost simultaneously. With the boost from the Yangquan Water, Qian Daoliu's aura was equally terrifying. Although he was far less powerful than in his prime, it was still not difficult for him to deal with a fake 100,000-year-old soul beast that couldn't even defeat a regular 90,000-year-old soul beast without the boost from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

On the other side, without the aid of the Blazing Yang Spring, Liehuo Xingjiao Shu's aura also dropped significantly. Moreover, under the oppressive aura of the Ice and Snow Emperors, this 100,000-year-old soul beast actually felt like it couldn't unleash its full potential.

This is the true Emperor's Frost Heaven! It shrouds the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Even the poisonous miasma in the air is blown upwards by the terrifying cold current, unable to descend at all.

Xue Di's expression was cold as she looked at Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu as if she were looking at a dead person: "Big Cabbage, don't you like following the rules?"

Hyotei wore a smile, but it was a smile that looked unsettling no matter how you looked at it: "What a coincidence. Actually, we don't like to follow rules either. Xue'er and I heard what you just said. You're right, might makes right. In the far north, we believe in that too."

Liehuo Xingjiao trembled. She never expected that just because she didn't want this human to pass the test so easily and wanted to make things difficult for him, the two fiercest of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North would come rushing towards her with their swords in hand.

Xue Di coldly stared at Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu, "Weren't you feeling quite smug just now?"

As she spoke, she waved her right hand in the air, and a deep blue blade of light, seemingly capable of splitting the world, flashed and disappeared. The fire maiden beside Liehuo Xingjiaoshu vanished into thin air, turning into a wisp of smoke. The ground around Liehuo Xingjiaoshu also quickly turned into an icy blue.

"That's a test, a test left behind by that person. What... what are you going to do? You can't touch me, or you'll be punished by heaven!"

Liehuo Xingjiao's voice trembled slightly.

Youyou's situation was even more difficult. Although she was alone, the person standing in front of her was the angelic high priest, Qian Daoliu, who once stood proudly at the top of Douluo Continent, was able to suppress the Star Dou Forest riot, and could drag Di Tian to his death with him when he exerted his full strength. He had once stepped into the level 100 realm.

"Jiaojiao is right, you can't touch us, or you'll be punished by heaven!"

"Divine retribution?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu laughed heartily: "Who is the Heaven? Tang San, who possesses twin martial souls? If it weren't for the fact that he was the chosen one and received a Sea God's inheritance for free, he might not have been able to reach my level in this lifetime."

"When I was in charge of the Spirit Hall, I did things that defied the will of Heaven. When natural disasters struck, the Spirit Hall organized its forces to fight them. When beast tides came, the people of the Spirit Hall fought bravely and risked their lives to suppress them. During the years I was in charge of the Spirit Hall, who dared to claim the Mandate of Heaven?"
