Eye of Life Opens, Spirit Abyss Realm Breakthrough

"Come into the sea, child."

That voice was as gentle as ever, as all-embracing as water.

Huo Yuhao felt like he had just finished blocking a bridge in Delta Force's Classified Aerospace mode before playing a couple rounds of Valorant.

It felt like he had a mom again.

A gentle breeze seemed to brush through his heart.

Then, seated in the hidden basement beneath Passione Headquarters, he covered the surrounding walls with a layer of Spiritual Power before taking out the massive chunk of Life Gold from his Storage Soul Tool.

He slowly closed his eyes and sank into his Sea of Consciousness.

His Sea of Consciousness was especially lively at the moment.

Tian Meng's golden-haired little boy incarnation sat atop the Golden Tortoise's shell, continuously hammering its head.

"Damn turtle, serving you right for stealing my Life Force!"

The Golden Tortoise endured Tian Meng's pounding helplessly. After all, Tian Meng's attacks did no damage whatsoever.

"I was wrong. From now on, I'll call you Brother, alright? Brother Sky Dream!"

The Golden Tortoise had no intention of resisting. Back then, it really had secretly absorbed a little of Tian Meng's Life Force, so it was in the wrong. Letting him hit it a few times was no big deal.

Besides, the reason its Spiritual Origin had been preserved and it could reside in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness was largely thanks to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's active guidance.

Otherwise, with its understanding of Spiritual Origin, its consciousness would probably have fallen into a complete slumber within the Soul Ring the instant it underwent Sacrifice.

It could only wait for Huo Yuhao to become a god someday and awaken it.

The Golden Tortoise was a proud Destiny Soul Beast, but that did not mean it would put on airs before its savior.

"Also, didn't you break through to two hundred thousand years when you underwent Sacrifice?"

"Fierce Beasts can Transform into human form. Isn't that instinctive? Why haven't you transformed?"

The Golden Tortoise suddenly got worked up. It shifted its body and nearly shook Tian Meng off its shell.

"I was about to ask you that!"

"Why do you have to transform into human form? What's wrong with beast form?"

"Brother Sky Dream, have you already lost the confidence of a Soul Beast?"

A vein immediately bulged on Tian Meng's forehead. That damn turtle actually dared to talk back.

Just as he was about to keep pounding the Golden Tortoise's turtle head, he suddenly sensed Huo Yuhao's consciousness enter the Sea of Consciousness.

Tian Meng hurriedly climbed down from the shell, giving the Golden Tortoise's head one last knock on the way.

The Golden Tortoise instantly changed expressions, looking at Huo Yuhao with a pitiful face. Tian Meng immediately went Red Temperature, nearly failing to catch his breath.

"Aren't you a Destiny Soul Beast? Where did the pride of the Golden Tortoise clan go?"

"You brat, you actually have a face-changing Soul Skill in your origin?!"

Huo Yuhao smiled and soothed his two tenants, telling them not to fight.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with a turtle."

"Yuhao, did you come to the Sea of Consciousness for something?"

Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's question, Huo Yuhao composed himself and looked at Tian Meng, the Golden Tortoise, and Electrolux.

"Do you remember the voice I told you about before?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately said, "Of course! You said that a voice had constantly guided you to my side."

"And I vaguely sensed a guiding force as well."

The Golden Tortoise nodded at the two of them and said:

"Same here!"

"A voice had always been telling me to undergo Sacrifice for Yuhao."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to think of something. Looking solemnly at Huo Yuhao, he said:

"Could it be that the voice suspected to be the Plane Consciousness has started calling to you again?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, then looked toward Electrolux.

"Yes. After I broke through to level twenty, that voice told me to go to the Dream Doorway."

"Elder Yi, what do you think?"

Electrolux fell silent for a moment. His aged yet powerful voice echoed through the Sea of Consciousness.

"My advice is to go!"

"Little Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness is far too extraordinary. Stimulated by that extremely high-quality Spiritual Power, this Old Man has recovered quite a few memories."

"Plane Consciousness? I do not know whether such a being existed in the world I once inhabited. Most likely, it did not."

"But anything crowned with the name of a Plane must represent an entire world!"

"All living beings within that world should be considered Its children."

"Yet now, It is making a request of one of Its children. Something must have happened!"

"It may even be a matter concerning the Plane's very safety!"

"Moreover, since Dream Authority is one of Yuhao's Three Authorities, the Dream Doorway must be visited."

"Big bug, little turtle, and Yuhao, I know what you are worried about. You fear that it may be some kind of trap."

"Ha ha ha! What is there to fear?"

"If you wish to become strong, do not be wary of the unknown! Challenging the unknown has always been the most correct path to becoming stronger!"

"Besides, don't you still have me?"

"With Life Gold in hand, this Old Man can finally use some of his former methods."

"If anything really happens, even if I must stake this remnant soul, I will send you back out!"

Hearing Electrolux's aged yet forceful voice, everyone in the Sea of Consciousness fell silent.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally understood why, despite possessing a million years of cultivation, he could not defeat an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

He did not dare to risk everything!

If he disregarded the depletion of his Spiritual Origin and the devastation to his body, the sheer quantity of his Spiritual Power would be enough to tear Scarlet King apart alive.

This was no empty claim. In the original story, while Huo Yuhao was in the Far North, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power could cover three thousand kilometers and warp the weather through Spiritual Power alone.

So long as the Silver Dragon King did not appear, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was one of Douluo Continent's highest authorities on Spiritual Power.

Tian Meng was silent for a moment before looking at Huo Yuhao. Though he said nothing, Huo Yuhao understood that he also believed they should go.

The Golden Tortoise had no such concerns. It raised its head slightly and said:

"Yuhao, without you, this old turtle wouldn't have many years left anyway. Go do whatever you want!"

"This old turtle supports you. After all, you're someone chosen by destiny!"

Huo Yuhao smiled. Since none of them objected, then he would make a trip to the Dream Doorway.

He believed Elder Yi could keep him safe, and he did not believe Tang San could make Douluo Continent bear his surname at this point in time.

The Divine Realm was still around, and the God of Destruction was still alive. Even if his brain did not work too well, he would still know how to make trouble for Tang San.

He had already avoided every dog chain he could, and he carried the Three Authorities. How could Tang San possibly pinpoint his location?

Returning to reality, Huo Yuhao followed Electrolux's instructions and pressed the Life Gold against his forehead.

The Life Gold bloomed with emerald radiance. Its immense Life Force surged out of Passione Headquarters, causing the plants throughout Xilu City to grow wildly as its residents felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Fortunately, the members of Passion Sect and the City Lord's Mansion swiftly joined forces to seal off the relevant information, preventing any mishaps.

That huge chunk of Life Gold transformed into azure-green liquid and entered Huo Yuhao's head.

An azure-gold eye appeared on his forehead. This time, Electrolux did not transfer himself into the Eye of Life.

To him, Huo Yuhao's unique Spiritual Power was even more capable of sustaining his existence than Life Force.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Golden Tortoise were both dumbstruck within the Sea of Consciousness.

A jade-green star had appeared in what had once been a starry Sea of Consciousness!

It occupied one side while the Spiritual Eye occupied the other, and the two began revolving like twin stars.

The Sea of Consciousness expanded by an unknown number of times.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried out in delight, "Spiritual Power formed but qualityless!"

That was right. Spiritual Power formed but qualityless—or, in other words, the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Huo Yuhao, level twenty-five, Spirit Abyss Realm Spiritual Power!
