Xu Feiyan and Ning Tian's Memories!

Even the Ultimate Darkness Fire that Ma Xiaotao had refined during her time gilding herself in the Holy Spirit Cult could not harm Huo Yuhao in the slightest; instead, it was frozen solid instantly!

"You Shrek Academy lot are quite interesting. If I didn't know better, I'd think this power of ultimate darkness belonged to some successor of the Holy Spirit Cult's sect master."

Huo Yuhao pinched Ma Xiaotao's chin and smiled faintly.

"I have long since broken free from the Holy Spirit Cult's control... I am merely abandoning darkness to embrace the light..."

Ma Xiaotao glared at Huo Yuhao with hatred, yet even now, her soul power remained completely frozen by him, leaving her without a shred of strength to resist.

"Is that so?"

Huo Yuhao was noncommittal. As for what came next, he planned to take her to the dragon bed and interrogate her at his leisure! He had long heard that this Phoenix Douluo had spent her life suppressing her Evil Fire to reach her current cultivation level, which was no small feat.

Wouldn't it be perfect to do her a favor?

Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi and Dragon God Douluo Bei Bei both fell directly in this battle. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Douluo Ma Xiaotao, who had only recently returned, along with Xiao Ding Douluo Xiao Xiao and Silver Moon Douluo Zhang Lexuan, were captured by Huo Yuhao and vanished without a trace.

Shrek Academy was plunged into absolute terror, never daring to stand as a direct enemy of the Star Luo Empire again!

Following this, Huo Yuhao even paid a visit to the Sea God Pavilion, bringing back a mountain of treasures.

A Level 9 Soul Tool master cultivated by Shrek Academy attempted to ambush Huo Yuhao, but to their surprise, Huo Yuhao possessed an extensive understanding of Soul Tool technology. Not only did the attempt fail, but the assailant was killed by Huo Yuhao on the spot!

In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao had passed his hundredth year, becoming the undisputed strongest cultivator on the entire Douluo Continent.

The Level 10 Soul Tool master Kong Deming once challenged Huo Yuhao, only to be defeated in five moves; even his Level 10 Soul Tool was severely damaged, forcing him to flee back to Ming Capital in disgrace.

When Huo Yuhao turned ninety, he made separate trips to the Evil Demon Forest and the Land of Great Calamity in the Star Dou Great Forest to challenge the Evil Emperor and Di Tian.

It is said that the battle in the Star Dou Great Forest turned the sky dark and the earth dim, with the sun and moon appearing simultaneously. The entire sky above the Star Dou Great Forest was twisted into a void. That terrifying clash lasted for seven days and seven nights.

But in the end, the one who returned victorious was none other than Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao!

"Hmph!"

Huo Yuhao walked into the dungeon, his gaze icy as he looked at the figures sealed in ice—each one possessing powder-blue hair and exquisite, beautiful features, looking like assembly-line clones of the same young men and women.

These people had all appeared abruptly beside his children, clearly driven by some force to intentionally draw close to them.

In the end, these eerie existences were all secretly disposed of by Huo Yuhao and brought here for study.

"God Realm... Sea God..."

The white-haired Huo Yuhao suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with cold, deep stillness. In his mind, he recalled the days of his youth, when the Duchess forced him to recite the Sea God's Precepts line by line.

"To think that woman forced me to memorize five pages of those precepts, only for her to later bear me five sons..."

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself.

With white hair and clad in luxurious gilded robes, the aged Spirit Eye grew increasingly rebellious, eventually leaving only a sheet of frost in his gaze:

"Tang San, wait for me on the path to godhood, where I shall slay you!"

"Slaying the Sea God on the path to godhood. What immense ambition!"

Inside the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, a youth polishing his sword gazed at the Sky Screen with burning eyes, as if an unprecedented fire had been ignited within him.

At this moment, the vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent felt a complex mix of emotions. Toward this rebellious old monarch on the screen, they felt awe and fear, but also... a trace of yearning.

Sea God Tang San, a name that evoked reverence in everyone's heart, a true god and legend sculpted over countless years. This existence was like a blue sun hanging over the Douluo Continent.

And now, someone had dared to declare that on the path to godhood, he would slay Tang San with his sword!

The Sky Screen then revealed the final outcome of this timeline.

"Kill!"

Facing an increasing number of inexplicable natural disasters appearing in the Star Luo Empire, the common people suffered heavy casualties. In particular, a massive tsunami submerged five southern coastal cities, resulting in over a million deaths.

Unable to endure any longer, Huo Yuhao punched open the Heavenly Gate ahead of schedule and slaughtered his way toward the God Realm on the other side!

No one had inherited a godhood, and no channel between the two worlds had been opened by the will of the God Realm.

Huo Yuhao relied solely on his own power to shatter the barrier between the worlds, forcibly enduring the flying spatial fragments and the divine laws of thunder as he charged into that world!

On the Sky Screen, the crowd could no longer see the specific details of the battle, only that the space-time tunnel had transformed into a bizarre and kaleidoscopic blur.

Countless powerful and unimaginable beings appeared to intercept Huo Yuhao, and at times, the blood of gods could be seen splashing through the void!

"A true man should be like this!"

Outside the Sky Screen, watching such a scene, regardless of whether they approved of Huo Yuhao's previous actions or methods, everyone watching the monarch warring within the inter-dimensional tunnel felt a surge of yearning and heroic spirit!

"Why... why is it like this... Yuhao, Dai Yuhao, Huo Yuhao..."

Outside the Sky Screen, within the White Tiger Duke Mansion, the Duchess Xu Feiyan suddenly clutched her head, her beautiful face twisted in incomparable agony.

Countless images, countless fragments of memory, and countless experiences she had personally lived through—every detail—surfaced and awakened in her mind.

Even Huo Yuhao's collisions and their repeated physical encounters were so vivid that they almost instantly overwrote her memories of Dai Hao!

What Huo Yuhao did not know was that shortly before this, within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, after Ning Tian briefly lost consciousness and awoke, she had taken Wu Feng and slipped out of the sect unnoticed, vanishing without a trace!

"Huo Yuhao... in this life, no matter what, I will find you again... You cannot escape the hem of my skirt, Ning Tian... hehe..."

Sitting in a modified high-speed soul-powered vehicle, the young girl looked up at Huo Yuhao's face on the Sky Screen, revealing a dazed, infatuated smile.

"Huo Yuhao... Sword Dog... didn't you promise to let me taste the young lady's scent again? You said it yourself, didn't you..."

Beside the girl in the white dress, the girl in leather was trembling with excitement, her fiery eyes filled with nothing but a sickly, frantic madness.

Completely unaware of what was coming, Huo Yuhao merely watched the end of the Sky Screen footage with a solemn expression, waiting for the final result.

In the end, following a flash of sea-blue light, only a regretful sigh echoed from within the passage.

"What a pity, had this Lonely One been born ten thousand years earlier..."

Meanwhile, within the Star Luo Imperial Palace and across the entire Star Luo Empire, a wave of wailing erupted, as deafening as a landslide or a tsunami.
