Divine Punishment Resets All to Zero: I, Huo Yuhao, Will Slaughter My Way Through Peerless Tang Sect!
"Huo Yuhao, you, the child of the plane, have fallen into my hands in the end!"
"Now, your road has come to an end..."
Heaven and earth were inverted, and the sun and moon formed a lake!
A vast, mist-shrouded lake shimmered amid the embrace of verdant mountains, while a golden sun and silver moon reflected in its center, forming a wondrous sight.
This was the foremost of the continent's three great treasure basins, Qiankun Asking Love Valley!
Legend had it that the God of Love had been betrayed by a lover and, in the depths of unbearable grief, had fallen in the mortal world, creating this place.
At the very center of the lake, where gold and silver waters mingled, a blood-red figure stood sneering before a slender young man covered in wounds.
Blood dripping from the young man's wounds stained the water beneath his feet red, spreading in circles of crimson ripples, but he seemed not to notice.
In the young man's arms, a golden Soul Beast was likewise covered in blood, the breath of life already gone from her.
Her body was like translucent crystal, covered in brilliant golden fur.
Yet her four claws were like a dragon's, and beneath her fur lay fine golden scales.
Besides her normal pair of eyes, she had a third, vertical pupil.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
"Tang San, I accounted for everything, but I never imagined that a hypocrite like you, who claims to be as pure as ice and spotless as jade, would personally descend to the lower realm!"
Huo Yuhao pressed his forehead against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's still-warm body, crimson tears of blood falling from his eyes onto her.
"I was defeated, but I haven't lost!"
In his previous life, dissatisfied with the villainous deeds of the hypocrite God King Tang in Peerless Tang Sect, he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent while ranting about them, becoming Huo Yuhao, the child of the plane who had just left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
For that very reason, Huo Yuhao decided to change his fate.
After fusing with the Million-Year Soul Ring Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, those two cheats, he chose to head to the Sun Moon Empire.
Without a doubt, anywhere but Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao would have been treated like the moon surrounded by stars, no matter which faction he joined.
Drawing on his familiarity with the plot of the Douluo series, he created his own forging techniques and revolutionized Soul Tool craftsmanship.
He even brought Battle Armor into existence ten thousand years ahead of time, changing the entire landscape of Soul Guidance Technology and becoming the holy son of the Illustrious Virtue Hall!
He also went to the Star Dou Great Forest to undergo attribute guidance, increasing his strength.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, also took human form and came to Huo Yuhao's side. They developed feelings for each other, and she became his lover.
Together with the major cheats at Huo Yuhao's side, the two of them developed the Soul Spirit System and planned to establish the Spirit Pagoda when they became Titled Douluo together, so that Soul Masters and Soul Beasts could return to peace.
Now eighteen years old, Huo Yuhao had reached Level 89 in cultivation, just one step away from entering the realm of a Titled Douluo.
With his prestige in the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao was confident he could gather the faith of the masses and become a god, attaining the unprecedented divine position of God of Soul Guidance!
But all that beauty was shattered today.
After Tang San discovered that the child of the plane had strayed from the path he had laid out and escaped one trap after another that he had set.
He shamelessly descended to the lower realm himself and teleported both Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion into Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
His lover, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, had been forced by Tang San to take her own life to save Huo Yuhao's!
His teacher Electrolux had not hesitated to detonate the fragment of his Divine Sense, solely to protect his disciple!
Even the consciousnesses of Soul Spirits such as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress had been directly obliterated by Tang San!
All the light and beauty of the past vanished in an instant, like an avalanche.
Only God King Tang's figure remained, standing before Huo Yuhao like a victor.
"Using the Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Demon Sword, as a foundation, I injected my Divine Sense into it to create an avatar."
Tang San chuckled, blood-red light flickering around him.
"Only in this way could I come to the Douluo Plane without being discovered by the gods of the Divine Realm."
"But it was all worth it. Once I have you, the child of the plane, under my control, the Douluo Plane will be mine for the taking!"
"Then, by gathering all the faith in the Douluo Plane and continuing to devour the many surrounding planes, I can bring my Asura God position to a level comparable to that of the Dragon God of old!"
"In heaven and on earth, I alone am invincible!!!"
Unlike the fanatical God King Tang, however.
Huo Yuhao gently stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's brilliant golden fur, his expression as lifeless as withered wood.
"You said that because you envied the colorful emotions humans possessed, you chose the name Mu Qing. It was a beautiful name..."
"We were once a thing of beauty."
"But now, every light has been extinguished, and only the shadow of darkness hangs over me."
"My love is lost forever; wherever I look, all lies in ruins."
Tang San turned his gaze toward Huo Yuhao and spoke indifferently.
"Huo Yuhao, if you're willing to submit to me and let me plant an imprint of my Divine Sense in your Sea of Consciousness."
"Perhaps I can spare your life."
Huo Yuhao sneered and shook his head gently.
"I would rather cry out and die than live in silence!"
"The boy who once walked out of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion with nothing but vengeance in his heart-will he end up a stray dog that can only wag its tail and beg for mercy?"
"If that's to be my ending, I refuse to accept it!"
"If I were given another chance, I would slaughter every last member of your Tang Family!"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tang San smiled contemptuously.
"Ungrateful fool!"
"In that case, I'll obliterate your consciousness and make you a puppet of this God King!"
However, just then.
A voice like the tolling of a great bell suddenly rang throughout the entire universe.
[Ding!] [Divine Realm interference in the lower realm detected. Divine punishment triggered!] [From this moment onward, all beings are equal!] [Whether gods of the Divine Realm, Soul Masters, or Soul Beasts, all attributes will be reset to zero!]
Whether Tang San, whose true body was still in the Douluo God Realm, or Huo Yuhao in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, both heard the voice in their minds at the same time.
"Reset to zero?"
Tang San could not help but scoff, as though he had heard the greatest joke in the world.
"I am a God King. Who can reset my attributes to zero?"
Yet in the next instant, an irresistible force abruptly shoved Tang San from his lofty divine throne.
Immediately afterward, it pinned him to the ground, leaving him utterly unable to move.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Tang San cried out in shock, and immediately afterward, an illusory screen appeared before him.
[Name: Tang San] [Cultivation: Asura God (God King level)] [Resetting to zero...] [God King... First-Level God... Second-Level Deity... Third-Class Deity... God Officer...]
The immense divine power in his body was being sucked away as though by an invisible black hole, while even his Divine Sense and physical strength continued to decline.
"This is impossible. My cultivation, my Divine Sense, I..."
At the same time, Huo Yuhao, still in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, was also pressed down into the lake by an immense, invisible force.
But unlike the panicked Tang San, Huo Yuhao was laughing aloud.
Tears of blood streamed ceaselessly from his eyes, as though they would turn the lake reflecting the golden sun and silver moon beneath him red.
"Twilight of the gods, all beings are equal!"
"I, Huo Yuhao, child of the plane, will slaughter my way through the entire world!"
