The woman wanted to act as a pimp, but her strength did not allow it. Under the ferocious onslaught, she retreated step by step, her body gradually becoming illusory.
In an unknown space, Tang Hao's expression was as dark as water, his aged face slightly twisted. He truly had not expected that the little beast would still have such methods—and be so decisive.
Watching his son's soul clone on the verge of annihilation, Tang Hao did not dare to intervene, fearing that the Silver Dragon King would notice and drag him out to be slaughtered.
At present, he was only equivalent to a second-level god, not Gu Yuena's opponent—not even an injured Gu Yuena.
A soul shock more powerful than any before erupted from the vertical eye behind Huo Yuhao. After unleashing this attack, the Martial Soul phantom, riddled with cracks, could no longer bear the strain and shattered with a thunderous crash.
With the Martial Soul shattered, the backlash descended. Blood flowed from Huo Yuhao's eyes as his expression became as ferocious as a life-reaping demon from hell.
His blood-dyed eyes stared fixedly at the woman. Having suffered the soul shock just now, she was already at death's door.
Either don't act at all, or act decisively. Huo Yuhao swung another sword at the woman, forcibly delivering the finishing blow.
The battle was about to end. The terror of this fight was such that even peak-level figures like Di Tian and the Snow Empress could only serve as background figures.
The Snow Empress revealed a sorrowful expression. Anyone could see that Huo Yuhao's condition was abnormal—the terrifying power came at an unbearable cost.
In front of Di Tian, space rippled slightly as Gu Yuena descended.
Realizing the situation was beyond control, Di Tian had contacted the Silver Dragon King by special means from the very beginning.
"Human, have you gone mad?"
Seeing that it was the same human from not long ago, Gu Yuena couldn't help but curse. Immediately after, however, surprise appeared on her face—this human had used some unknown method to temporarily possess god-level power.
But this power came quickly and left just as fast.
Ignoring Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao slashed out his final sword strike, turning the dying, struggling woman into ashes.
Silently sweeping his gaze over everyone, with no intention of reminiscing, a spatial gate appeared behind him. After consecutively burning his Sea of Consciousness and shattering his Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao was now at the end of his strength.
Just as one of Huo Yuhao's feet stepped into the spatial gate, another change occurred. Golden light erupted from below, instantly enveloping the surrounding thousand meters of space.
The spatial gate was erased out of thin air, and Huo Yuhao discovered that his body had been restrained—he could not move at all.
The same happened to the Snow Empress, Di Tian, and the others. The only one unaffected was Gu Yuena.
Sensing the familiar aura, Di Tian's face changed drastically. With unprecedented terror and grief, he cried out, "No!"
But there was nothing he could do. Even the mighty eighty-hundred-thousand-year Beast God Di Tian felt the helplessness of weakness today.
Wrapped in golden light, the body of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly rose, like a moth flying into the flame, moving toward Huo Yuhao. When she reached him, she had already shifted into human form.
Looking at her, confusion flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes, followed by anger at her lack of resolve. "You foolish woman, this sovereign doesn't need your pity. Go—leave! Go!"
The reason he left without saying a word was precisely to avoid such melodramatic situations. He feared the Snow Empress might do something foolish—yet in the end, it turned out to be this foolish woman instead.
He knew very well what sacrifice meant for soul beasts: total annihilation of soul and spirit. No matter how special the Fate Auspicious Beast was, it was still a living being, unable to reverse life and death.
Wang Qiu'er's eyes reddened slightly as she choked back sobs. "Yes, I really am foolish. You are human, I am a soul beast—we were destined to stand opposed to each other."
"Just like the last time you attacked the mixed zone, and these soul rings."
As she spoke, Wang Qiu'er glanced at the nearly hundred soul rings rising from the ground below, her tone becoming extremely bitter. "You were always that clear-headed and rational, always that cold and hard-hearted."
Her words dimmed the Snow Empress's gaze. Wang Qiu'er was right—Huo Yuhao did not hate soul beasts, but he had never cared about their life or death either.
"I really want to be as free and easy as you, but I can't. Meeting you, I learned what liking someone means—but even more, I want to learn how to forget."
Wang Qiu'er stepped forward and gently embraced the man before her, whispering into his ear, "If I could do it all over again, I would never want to meet you."
Golden light shimmered faintly around her, illusory and drifting, like life itself slipping away.
"Your Majesty, quickly stop the Auspicious Beast!"
Only now did Di Tian think of the Silver Dragon King. At this point, only she could stop everything.
Gu Yuena clenched her fists tightly. If she could save her, she would have acted long ago. If it were any other soul beast offering a sacrifice, she could easily stop it—but not Wang Qiu'er. The Fate Auspicious Beast was far too special. Even forcibly interrupting it now would be useless. Once a sacrifice begins, it does not stop.
Unless the recipient of the sacrifice is powerful enough to unilaterally terminate it.
Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao and quickly rejected the idea. It was nothing more than a fleeting bloom. After the outburst, Huo Yuhao had already fallen back to his original cultivation level.
In fact, it was even worse than before. And since the Auspicious Beast was saving him, how could he possibly refuse?
Killing intent surged violently in Gu Yuena's heart. She did not care what had happened between this human and the Auspicious Beast—she only knew that this despicable human had deceived the pure Auspicious Beast and caused her death.
Listening to Wang Qiu'er's quiet sobbing, Huo Yuhao's body and soul trembled violently. Two tears mixed with blood slid down from the corners of his eyes.
In his heart, he thought: Foolish woman, what meaning is there in doing this? Don't tell me you think Gu Yuena will spare me after you sacrifice yourself to me?
Huo Yuhao knew that Gu Yuena had likely already concluded that he had deceived the Auspicious Beast into sacrificing herself. After this, even threatening her with the fate of the Star Dou Forest would probably be useless.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Yuena. Sure enough, the killing intent in her eyes was completely undisguised.
If it was all the same—just death—why drag this foolish woman down with him?
At this moment, flames seemed to burn in Huo Yuhao's eyes. With the little divine consciousness he had left, combined with the Ming Realm, he launched an assault against the shackles of the world's rules imposed upon his seventieth-level bottleneck.
Only by reaching the god level could this be stopped—and Huo Yuhao's seventieth-level barrier was equivalent to the god level.
A powerful aura rose from Huo Yuhao once more. The Ming Realm, like a planet, loomed above the Star Dou Forest, enveloping tens of thousands of meters.
Boundless energy surged like tidal waves against the suppression of the world's rules. Blood flowed from Huo Yuhao's seven orifices, and his body began to convulse lightly.
The Ming Realm was constructed by Huo Yuhao himself. With countless people residing within, it had condensed a virtual empire formed by tens of thousands of soul masters.
Now, this empire declared war on the world's rules—was the Heavenly Dao stronger, or could the power of all living beings truly allow humanity to defy heaven?
Wang Qiu'er sensed the anomaly, released Huo Yuhao, and panicked upon seeing his condition. "You damn man, what are you doing? Do you want this young lady's sacrifice to be in vain?"
No matter how loudly she shouted, there was no response.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, another scene was unfolding: Wang Qiu'er sacrificed herself, Gu Yuena, after some difficulty, chose compromise, calming the matter and preserving the fate power of the Star Dou Forest.
Under Huo Yuhao's leadership, the Heavenly Court flourished. More than ninety percent of the continent's soul masters joined the Ming Realm, expanding it to an unprecedented scale.
Taking advantage of this, Huo Yuhao surged straight to the level of Titled Douluo, achieving level one hundred and becoming a god as smoothly as flowing clouds and running water.
Several years later, the Abyssal Plane opened wide. Huo Yuhao led the Heavenly Court, gathering forces from all sides, forming an alliance with Gu Yuena, the co-ruler of soul beasts, and assembling an expeditionary army to march into the Abyssal Plane.
Under the leadership of two god-level experts, the expeditionary army advanced like a hot knife through butter, consecutively breaking through all one hundred and eight layers of the Abyss. All powerful beings of the Abyssal Plane perished— even the Abyssal Holy Lord died in humiliation under the combined assault of Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao.
After the great battle, most of the shattered Abyssal Plane's energy was absorbed by the Ming Realm, causing Huo Yuhao's cultivation to skyrocket once more, achieving the realm of a half-step God King.
