Huo Yuhao Heads to the Far North—Whether He Can Return Alive Is a Question

During the months Ling Xiao and the other two were in seclusion, the Divine Realm above was far from peaceful.

Tang God-King had been searching for a way to reconnect with that strand of divine sense he had severed.

After all, it was a strand of God-King-level divine sense. Tang San was unwilling to simply lose it.

If he could reestablish the connection, he could obtain more information from that divine sense.

However, Destruction God-King was watching him closely.

Ever since questioning Tang San last time, Destruction God-King seemed to have been paying him special attention.

Although he had no concrete evidence that Tang San was interfering with the lower realm, his intuition told him that Tang San was definitely up to something.

Destruction God-King's surveillance was extremely tight, and Tang San failed after several attempts.

On one occasion, he finally managed to establish a faint connection.

When his consciousness followed it and entered the God-Sealing Platform, what he saw was a cesspit.

A bottomless cesspit that gave off a nauseating stench.

The space inside the God-Sealing Platform had become a massive collection pool for excrement.

During the process of sealing Tang San's divine sense, the interior of the God-Sealing Platform had suffered considerable damage.

As a result, the God-Sealing Platform had formed a subtle connection with the outside world.

The excrement in the pit...

Seeped into the inner space of the God-Sealing Platform through the damaged spatial cracks.

After several months of development.

The interior of the God-Sealing Platform had long since changed completely.

The moment Tang San's consciousness entered, the smell inside the God-Sealing Platform rushed straight into his brain.

"Bleurgh!"

His face instantly turned livid, because the stench was no ordinary foul odor.

After fermenting under the high temperature of heavenly lightning, the smell had condensed to the extreme, like a reek from the eighteenth level of hell.

He severed the connection once more.

After Tang God-King cut off the connection, he kept retching in a corner of Sea God Hall.

"Bleurgh... bleurgh..."

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body convulsed as his eyes rolled back.

Anyone who did not know better might have thought the pure and spotless Tang God-King was pregnant.

"Bleurgh... damn it! Bleurgh..."

Tang San held onto a pillar in Sea God Hall, retching and cursing at the same time.

He had completely lost his composure, with none of his usual calm elegance remaining.

The attendants of Sea God Hall looked at one another, unable to understand what had happened to their God-King.

"Lord God-King, are you all right?"

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

Tang San roared in fury, frightening the Sea God Hall attendants into scattering in all directions.

Only after retching for more than half an hour did Sea God Tang San barely recover.

His face was still pale, but at least he would not vomit again.

Tang San gritted his teeth. "Those three... damned things!"

He could now finally confirm that the three soul beasts had thrown the God-Sealing Platform into a cesspit.

And that strand of his divine sense was suffering inhuman torment within it.

Not only did it have to endure the bombardment of heavenly lightning, it also had to endure the sensation of being soaked head to toe in sewage.

At the mere thought of that scene, the pure and spotless Tang God-King could not help wanting to retch.

"Cough..."

Tang San forcibly suppressed the revulsion and began carefully considering a countermeasure.

Ling Xiao and the Ice and Snow Emperors were the Far North's three greatest experts. Tang San intended to guide Huo Yuhao into changing his plans to head for the Far North.

After all, if Huo Yuhao encountered those three in the Far North, he would certainly die with his current strength.

Huo Yuhao was an extremely important chess piece. He could not allow him to die like this.

However, Tang San's retching just now had once again drawn Destruction God-King's attention.

Tang San cursed under his breath, "Damned Destruction, you have chosen the path to death."

Under these circumstances, Tang San did not dare make any further moves. Any abnormality could allow Destruction to seize evidence against him.

Tang San could only give up.

"Forget it... Huo Yuhao's fate will be for him to face himself."

Tang San's tone was exceptionally cold.

"If he cannot even overcome this little trial, then he is not worthy of being my chess piece."

Inside the God-Sealing Platform.

Divine-sense Tang San had thought he could be saved, only to discover that Tang San had cut off the connection again.

The divine-sense Tang San, who had been slowly rising, fell back into the sewage with a plop.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't!"

"Glug glug... glug glug..."

"Ho ho ho..."

Having fallen into the sewage again, Tang San frantically flailed his limbs and swam upward for all he was worth.

Divine-sense Tang San floated on the surface.

That thought buried deep in his heart surfaced once again after this incident.

"Could it be... this God-King really has to try controlling this filthy sewage?"

Meanwhile.

Shrek Academy had finally gone on break, and Huo Yuhao welcomed a one-month vacation.

For Huo Yuhao, this first school year had not actually been easy.

His soul power was only rank eleven, placing him at the very bottom of Shrek Academy.

Even after taking two pills, he still lagged noticeably behind the other geniuses.

To make a living, he set up a small stall at the market and supported himself by selling grilled fish.

His grilled fish skills were quite good, all learned at White Tiger Duke's Estate.

During the years when his mother, Huo Yun'er, was ill, he had always been the one taking care of her meals.

On the first day of vacation.

Huo Yuhao packed his luggage and set off directly for the Extreme North.

Sky Dream Iceworm had told him that once vacation began, he would take him to obtain his second martial soul.

"Yuhao, don't worry."

Sky Dream's voice sounded in his mind, carrying a confidently bewitching tone.

"There is a soul beast in the Extreme North. Once you obtain it, your strength will increase tremendously!"

"When that time comes, no one at the academy will ever look down on you again!"

Sky Dream's voice was full of temptation, slowly seeping into Huo Yuhao's heart.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up.

He longed too desperately to become stronger.

At White Tiger Duke's Estate, he and his mother had suffered endless contempt and bullying.

His mother's death had given him an extreme thirst for power.

He wanted to become stronger. He wanted to avenge his mother. He wanted those enemies to pay the price.

"Alright, Brother Sky Dream. I believe you."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist tightly, his eyes shining with determination to become stronger.

In Sky Dream Iceworm's plan, Huo Yuhao's second martial soul would be the Ice Empress.

However, because of Ling Xiao's appearance, Sky Dream Iceworm's decision was destined to fail.

The Ice Empress was no longer the Ice Empress of the past. She no longer needed to compromise because of the four-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation.

She had already broken through four hundred thousand years, and her cultivation had long since reached four hundred ninety thousand years.

With the Ice Empress's current state, let alone subduing her, they could not even get close to her.

What was more, Snow Emperor and Ling Xiao were by the Ice Empress's side now.

Huo Yuhao was still imagining that after returning from the Far North this time, he would finally hold his head high.

With the support of a second martial soul, his status at Shrek Academy would completely change.

Little did he know...

Whether he could return alive from this trip to the Extreme North was itself a question.
