Huo Yuhao had indeed done many unspeakable things to the pink-and-blue-haired girl. But the one who had directly caused her to become this drooling mess was none other than that Great God King Tang...
However, Huo Yuhao in the Sky Screen suddenly burst into laughter as he listened to their furious rebukes. His laughter brimmed with mockery and disdain.
"The wrath of the gods? When that 'god' you speak of used his own daughter as a surveillance device and a whetstone, did he ever consider how she felt? When he schemed to seize the fortune of Douluo Continent and suppress Soul Master awakenings, did he ever think about mercy?"
Huo Yuhao took a step forward. With each step he took, a new crack split Clear Sky Peak.
"You two old beasts keep saying you're doing what's best for her, but in truth, you're nothing more than a pair of watchdogs Tang San keeps here. You used to be watchdogs for Beast God Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, and now you're watchdogs for Tang San. You've lived for over a hundred thousand years, yet you haven't improved one bit."
"To become gods and live forever, you even threw away the dignity of Soul Beasts, acknowledged a thief as your father, and hid in these mountains like a pair of turtles in their shells. And you lot—the Clear Sky Sect..."
The mockery, disdain, and contempt on Huo Yuhao's face grew ever more cutting.
"I once heard that you used to boast that your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was the best Martial Soul under heaven, and that the Clear Sky Sect was the best sect under heaven. Now I see that your skin really is the thickest under heaven. If you want to call yourselves the most shameless sect under heaven, then I, Huo Yuhao, will grant you the title."
"Back in the era of Spirit Hall, ten thousand years ago, Spirit Hall hadn't even done anything to you, yet your ancestors were so scared they shut the mountain gates and hid in a ravine like rats, cowering in their burrow. That so-called 'best sect under heaven' was all boasting. The knack for hiding like turtles in their shells, though, was clearly passed down through the generations!"
Huo Yuhao's cold, contemptuous voice rang out from the Sky Screen and spread across the entire Douluo Continent. On Clear Sky Peak, everyone's face had gone pale, and their bodies trembled.
"I thought that after ten thousand years, you might have grown a little backbone. But what happened? You've only gone backward with age! You're a human Soul Master sect with a ten-thousand-year legacy, and yet you made two Soul Beasts your sect masters! You let two beasts swagger over you!"
Huo Yuhao pointed at the people of the Clear Sky Sect below, then at Niu Tian and Tai Tan. Every word cut like a blade:
"You pack of dogs, you spineless curs—do you deserve to utter the words 'Clear Sky'? You've not only disgraced humanity; you've bent your ancestors' backs until they snapped! You cry out for the God King's protection every day, never realizing that in your God King's eyes, you're nothing but livestock raised to feed his dogs!"
"Shut up!" Niu Tian was burning with shame and fury. In his Azure Bull Python form, he hated being called a "beast" more than anything. Now that Huo Yuhao had exposed him in front of everyone, his murderous intent boiled over.
"What, did I hit a nerve?"
Huo Yuhao planted a foot on the chain beside Wang Dong'er, his gaze icy. "You two beasts aren't even fit to be dogs in my eyes. You'd be better off as Soul Rings and Soul Bones. Today, I'll make this tortoiseshell that's been hiding for ten thousand years disappear for good!"
"Shut your mouth!" Tai Tan roared, his arms transforming into gigantic ape-like hands as god-level Soul Power erupted from him.
Niu Tian said no more. He exchanged a glance with Tai Tan, and the two of them released the seals on their bodies at the same time. In an instant, divine azure light that did not belong to the mortal world and a pitch-black Gravity Domain swept across the mountaintop.
They even borrowed some of the Sea God Divine Power stored at the peak of Clear Sky Peak, condensing it into a phantom Trident.
"Yuhao, these two watchdogs really do carry that person's divinity."
Electrolux spoke calmly, lightly tapping his staff on the ground. Rings of gray ripples instantly spread out, forcibly pushing back the god-level pressure.
"Then I'll have you watch my back, Teacher. I'll take these two false gods apart myself!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes turned brilliantly silver in an instant—his Body Martial Soul's third awakening: [Moon Eye]!
"Shinra Eternal Treasure, Extreme Ice Purgatory!"
There was no earth-shattering collision, only absolute silence.
Tai Tan's fist, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, slammed down three inches from Huo Yuhao, but couldn't move a fraction farther. He realized in terror that the space around him was collapsing, turning into countless icy crystals that enclosed him.
"W-what kind of power is this? It can freeze the laws of the world?!" Niu Tian tried to rush to his aid, only to find Electrolux's expressionless face right in front of him.
"This old man once said, 'With the sun and moon in my hands, I pluck the stars from the sky; none in this world can compare to me.' You dare flaunt that meager divine power borrowed from someone else in front of me? Call the master behind you over."
Electrolux flicked a finger, and a portal to the Undead Demi-plane opened directly beneath Niu Tian's feet. At the same time, Light Power gathered from above and below, forming all manner of instruments of torture, along with undead behemoths.
"Roar!"
A Bone Dragon formed from Light Power swept its tail, and a mountain in the Clear Sky Mountain Range collapsed. Its terrifying force even tore open a wound on the arm of the Titan Giant Ape.
Countless attacks—bone claws, Demon-Breaking Arrows, dragon breath, Death Scythes—fell upon the two divine beasts who had borrowed the Sea God's Power and thought themselves invincible, almost all at once!
"H-how is this possible? This is Light Power? It's so pure that even my Phoenix flames can't compare! Is this Ultimate Light?"
At Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe was so horrified that even his beard trembled. Mu En nearly sprang from his wheelchair, his old eyes quivering with light.
"To use Light Power to drive the abilities of us Evil Soul Masters? No, this old man probably isn't even an Evil Soul Master..."
The countless powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult were also stunned, wishing they could bow down before the old man.
In less than half an hour, these two powerhouses, who could have swept across Douluo Continent, had been defeated by Electrolux and his disciple Huo Yuhao. Together, the two of them even shattered the phantom Trident in the sky.
After that, there was no suspense. The two wretched old beasts, stricken with grief and disbelief, were sealed from head to toe by Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice, like stray dogs driven from their homes.
"Banish!"
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly and tossed the two "gate guardians" into the icy Undead Demi-plane like pieces of trash. Just as he'd said, their only value lay in their Soul Rings and Soul Bones!
With Tai Tan and Niu Tian dealt with, nothing could stop them anymore. Huo Yuhao and Electrolux walked into the deepest forbidden grounds of the Clear Sky Sect.
The architecture there was completely unlike anything outside, steeped in gloom and deathly stillness. When Huo Yuhao used brute force to smash open the heavy stone door, the sight before him filled everyone watching from beyond the Sky Screen with fear deep in their souls.
It was a gigantic "secret chamber"—or rather, a laboratory.
