"Ah! Ah!"

Fat Tiger watched the Grilled Fish disappear into Tang Ya's mouth and immediately howled in desperation.

Tang Ya hid the Grilled Fish behind her back. "What are you trying to do? I bought this Grilled Fish. Buy your own if you want some!"

A donkey and a person nearly came to blows over a single Grilled Fish.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao fed him in time, preventing an earth-shattering, ghost-weeping battle.

Sitting beside the campfire, Bei Bei smiled.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Bei Bei, and she's Tang Ya."

Huo Yuhao smiled. "Nice to meet you too. I'm Huo Yuhao."

Tang Ya licked her lips and asked curiously.

"Little profiteer, why are you covering your eyes?"

"Could it be..."

Huo Yuhao explained calmly, "It's just because of my Martial Soul."

Using the Six Eyes caused mental fatigue.

However, Huo Yuhao had the Reverse Cursed Technique, so that side effect was practically nonexistent.

The main reason was that he was simply too handsome.

Without an eyepatch, it would have been far too inconvenient to go out.

Everywhere he went, countless women would go crazy over him.

So, just like in his previous life, he wore an eyepatch to seal away his looks.

Without giving Tang Ya a chance to ask further, Huo Yuhao stood up.

"Well, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Huo Yuhao looked toward the Star Dou Great Forest, the Six Eyes beneath his eyepatch gleaming.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Elder Yi...

He was really looking forward to this.

Tang Ya asked reluctantly, "Leaving? You're going?"

"What about my Grilled Fish? How about becoming my cook? Please?"

Bei Bei smiled. "Tell me, Teacher Tang Ya, do you have the money for that?"

"I will in the future! Got a problem with that?!"

Tang Ya said angrily.

Bei Bei said with concern, "Little Brother Huo, this is a remote wilderness, and it isn't far from the Star Dou Great Forest, where soul beasts roam. You might run into danger."

Tang Ya said, "That's right. Why not come with us? We'll protect you."

"As long as you grill fish for us..."

As she spoke, an unworthy tear slipped from the corner of Tang Ya's mouth.

Huo Yuhao raised his right hand, turned back, and smiled faintly. "Don't worry, because I'm invincible..."

"Fat Tiger, let's go."

With that, Huo Yuhao mounted Fat Tiger and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Ya asked worriedly, "Hey, hey, is he really going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Hard to say..." Bei Bei glanced in the direction Huo Yuhao had left.

"I didn't sense any flow of Soul Power from him. Either he has no Soul Power, or he's far stronger than I am..."

"And I sensed a feeling of danger from him..."

"A feeling of danger?" Tang Ya did not understand.

Bei Bei nodded. "Just now, when I stared into Little Brother Huo's eyes, I didn't see anything, yet I felt an unprecedented sense of danger."

"That feeling was like... like... the unreachable heavens... vast enough to inspire fear."

"Pfft!" Tang Ya burst out laughing. "Bei Bei, that's way too ridiculous. Unreachable heavens? Do you really think that profiteer is invincible?"

"Kids' words are just kids' words."

Bei Bei shook his head and dismissed the amusing thought in his heart.

"Bei Bei, how about bringing him into our Tang Sect?"

Tang Ya made up her mind.

Bei Bei smiled. "This is definitely because you want to eat Grilled Fish every day, isn't it?"

"Hmph, you saw right through me again!"

Tang Ya playfully stuck out her tongue.

God Realm

Heaven-Peering Hall

Fishfork God King Tang San smiled. "As expected of my Tang Sect's inheritor. As long as Huo Yuhao is brought into the Tang Sect, I can weaken his destiny. Only then can I use more methods against him."

As one of the five God Kings of the Douluo God Realm Committee, Fishfork God King Tang San

could not interfere excessively in the affairs of the continent.

After all, the God King of Destruction was watching him.

For the sake of the God King throne beneath him,

even if the future Child of Destiny might threaten his position,

he could only use a series of petty methods to weaken the Child of Destiny's fortune, eventually turning him into a house dog.

Not long after Huo Yuhao entered the Star Dou Great Forest,

he encountered the legendary soul beast that had nearly killed the God of Emotions.

A ten-year Wind Baboon.

"Roar!"

The Wind Baboon let out a roar, its figure ghostlike.

In the blink of an eye, it descended from the treetops and arrived before Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao remained unhurried, both hands in his pockets, showing no intention of defending himself.

Seeing such a provocative human, the Wind Baboon grew even angrier.

It swung its blade-like claws.

They tore toward Huo Yuhao's head.

The bloody scene never appeared. The Wind Baboon's claws stopped less than forty centimeters from Huo Yuhao.

No matter how hard the Wind Baboon tried, it could not advance even an inch.

Huo Yuhao smiled. "My, my, you were just a tiny bit short."

"You'll have to try harder."

The Wind Baboon let out an angry roar.

"Roar!"

Its other claw tore toward him.

As expected, it stopped in midair, unable to advance even an inch.

It was not that it could not move forward, but that it was moving forward at the infinitely slowed pace of Limitless.

Even if it waited until the end of time, the Wind Baboon would never be able to touch Huo Yuhao.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Wind Baboon kept roaring.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand and made a finger-flicking gesture. "You're too noisy. Quiet down a little."

Bang!

The Wind Baboon was sent flying a hundred meters, crashing through more than a dozen thick trees.

When the smoke cleared, a white Soul Ring emerged above its mangled corpse.

Huo Yuhao said apologetically, "Sorry."

"I accidentally used too much force."

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao looked toward the ground in the distance. Within the Six Eyes' field of vision, a soul beast comparable to a special-grade cursed spirit

was approaching him.

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm..."

Huo Yuhao kept his hands in his pockets and smiled faintly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground split apart, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared before him.

An aura comparable to Ultimate Ice spread continuously, swallowing all warmth in the surroundings.

Yet Huo Yuhao was unaffected.

Under the Stopping Power of the Limitless Technique, nothing could touch him.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm slowly approached Huo Yuhao.

"Human, aren't you afraid?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked in surprise.

Huo Yuhao smiled. "What is there to fear? I'm invincible. There is nothing in this world that can make me afraid."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's arrogant words, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm laughed.

"Good!"

"This is exactly the kind of person I need. Bold enough, confident enough. Don't worry—with Brother Sky Dream's help, you'll definitely become invincible in the future!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was delighted. He had originally planned to find any spiritual-type Soul Master and make do.

He had not expected to encounter a human so suited to his tastes.

This gave him even greater confidence in his plan.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "I am already invincible. Why wait for the future?"

He had already developed the Stopping Power of the Limitless Technique to its limit.

It could make the Cursed Energy consumed become 1—0.5—0.25...

Every time it blocked an attack, regardless of its strength, the consumption was forcibly reduced by half.

Then, with the Six Eyes' terrifying recovery ability, it was restored instantly.

As long as his Cursed Energy was not exhausted, the Cursed Technique: Stopping Power could continue operating forever.

Thus, Huo Yuhao was outright invincible when it came to defense. No matter what attack he blocked, his Cursed Energy would only be forcibly halved.

It would then instantly recover—reduction followed by recovery, endlessly.

However, this only applied to the Cursed Technique: Stopping Power.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao would truly reign supreme above and below heaven.
