Through hundreds of fragmentations and reformations, every atom of his soul seemed to memorize the frequency of "God" under the intensity of those collisions. He looked at the figure that had finally appeared, smiling faintly, a smile of profound ease.
It was as if he were not facing the projection of a god at all.
"Status? Laws? So... this is all they amount to. I finally understand what my teacher meant by, 'Holding the sun and moon in hand, plucking stars from the sky; in this world, there is no one like me.' I also finally understand why my teacher never even deigned to become a God of Death!"
Huo Yuhao's voice echoed within the young girl's sea of consciousness; it was not the voice of a mortal, but one carrying the rhythm of a command that shapes reality.
"Teacher Du Busi was right as well. The pinnacle of the Body Martial Soul is to treat the body as a boundary. Since you wish to suppress me, then I shall reshape the rules within that very suppression!"
Outside the Sky Screen, the previously silent headquarters of the Body Sect suddenly erupted with earth-shattering exclamations!
Du Busi stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What is he doing? His soul power is dissipating... No, it is not dissipating, it is condensing! He is collapsing all of his essence, energy, and spirit into the core of his martial soul!"
"That is... the legendary... no, it is what we only theorized about..."
Du Busi's voice carried a hint of trembling, along with extreme shock and fanaticism! His eyes were currently fixed as if witnessing a miracle!
Inside the Sky Screen.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes abruptly; the madness and ferocity from before were gone, replaced by a state of absolute etherealness.
His third eye—the Eye of Destiny—shifted at this moment from gold to a profound silver. It was no longer just an eye, but resembled a cold moon reflected in an abyss.
"Body Martial Soul... third awakening! It is completed today..."
Huo Yuhao uttered a faint sigh, filled with a divine detachment and ethereal grace.
At this moment, the entire Body Sect outside the Sky Screen felt an urge to prostrate themselves before the figure on the screen and the faint silver Moonlight Shield shimmering behind him!
BOOM—!
Above the laboratory, the previously cloudless sky turned pitch black in an instant. A massive silver crescent moon appeared without warning, and its cold, divine radiance instantly blanketed the area for a thousand miles.
In the distant Tiantou City, countless people looked up in horror, gazing at this miraculous spectacle!
Huo Yuhao's previously exhausted mental power underwent a qualitative change in an instant. Every drop of mental power was purified to the extreme, transforming into liquid divine consciousness.
"Holding the sun and moon in hand, plucking stars from the sky; in this world, there is no one like me. With a single thought, ghosts and gods tremble; all immortals and demons perish!"
Facing the still-brilliant divine consciousness of the Trident, Huo Yuhao spoke calmly, his tone carrying an indescribable, grand momentum.
Body Sect.
In this instant, the silver moonlight seemed to pierce through the Sky Screen, shining into reality and onto every member of the Body Sect. Everyone felt their own martial souls trembling; it was a submission, a fear originating from the depths of their bloodlines.
"Third awakening... a realm that no one in history has ever reached!"
A Body Sect elder fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face: "The martial soul becomes divine, the physical body becomes a saint! This is the true ultimate form of our Body Sect!"
Du Busi looked at the youth in the Sky Screen who appeared like a god descended to earth, then looked at his own somewhat hunched frame, and suddenly let out a long sigh, his eyes filled only with expectation and fanaticism.
"This child... he must be found. Only he can blaze a new path for the Body Martial Soul and become the one true Emperor of our Body Sect for ten thousand generations!"
Within the Sky Screen, the silver crescent moon and the golden Trident confronted each other in the sea of consciousness of the powder-blue-haired girl. The girl's sea of consciousness was now divided into two distinct colors.
One half was the pale silver of moonlight, the other the blue-gold of the Sea God.
"Huo Yuhao, I am truly disappointed in you..."
The phantom of the Sea God's divine consciousness finally solidified completely, transforming into a man wearing blue-gold battle robes, his features obscured yet a hint of purple visible in his eyes.
A flash of killing intent finally crossed that purple gaze—this mortal was actually using his daughter as a whetstone to complete a "third awakening of the martial soul," something never before seen in the history of soul masters.
At this moment, he even felt for the first time that this Child of Destiny was slipping out of his control as a God King!
"Huo Yuhao, you are, after all, merely a mortal. Do you think that by touching the edge of the laws, you can challenge the majesty of a God King?"
Tang San's voice carried a sense of high-and-mighty judgment. "You have desecrated my daughter and tortured her soul; today, I shall act on behalf of the heavens to punish you!"
Outside the Sky Screen, countless people saw this and couldn't help but spit in disgust.
"This God King Tang still speaks so eloquently. It was clearly he who planted his divine consciousness in his daughter's mind as a monitor, yet now he turns the tables and accuses others of torturing her?"
"The torture from that machine was indeed harsh, but if not for Tang San's seal, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have had to use such extreme measures to break the formation, right?"
Inside the Sky Screen, Huo Yuhao sneered, as if he didn't even deign to answer.
He was surrounded by cold moonlight, a layer of light that seemed to exist independently of three-dimensional space. No matter how turbulent the sea of consciousness became, the divine pressure emitted by Tang San could not erode him in the slightest.
"Act on behalf of the heavens? Tang San, you cannot represent the heavens; you can only represent your own hypocritical selfish desires!"
Huo Yuhao raised his right hand, and within his palm, silver divine consciousness condensed into a long blade as thin as a cicada's wing.
"Today, not only will I strip away your seal, I will also sever this strand of your divine consciousness and let your 'ten-thousand-year plan' collapse completely!"
The battle erupted instantly!
Tang San moved. As a generation of God King, even if it was only a strand of divine consciousness, his combat awareness surpassed the limits of the plane.
"First move, Bodhi Blood!"
The phantom of Tang San pointed a finger, and in that instant, the energy of the entire sea of consciousness was drained, transforming into a crystal-clear red blood drop carrying the aura of endless causality. This blood drop pierced through the barriers of space, aiming straight for the center of Huo Yuhao's brow.
This was the pinnacle of Tang Sect hidden weapon techniques, a killing blow where divine consciousness became tangible!
However, Huo Yuhao did not even dodge.
Behind him, the phantom of a magnificent Auspicious Beast with three eyes and golden fur appeared faintly.
"Mental immunity!"
The red blood drop struck the moonlight in front of Huo Yuhao, but it was as if it had struck nothingness; it passed directly through and vanished into the void.
"What?!" Yan Shaozhe screamed outside the Sky Screen, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. "That is the legendary, inescapable Bodhi Blood of the Tang Sect! It was actually ineffective?"
At this moment, even Mu En nearly fell from his Golden Wood Wheelchair! For them, this was no different from a shock to their faith!
