Chapter 32: Exchanging Lives: Huo Yuhao Courted Death Like Mad, Affecting the Future!

"Waa-pfft!!!"

Sea God Tang San, who had just devoured life essence and whose body was about to return to its peak, his power on the verge of breaking through to a higher realm, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it!"

"Who-who ambushed me?!"

"You have no honor! Come stand before me if you have the guts!!!"

Feeling an unbearable, agonizing pain from his lower body, Sea God Tang San looked terrified and abruptly reached down.

A great mass of blood instantly appeared. There was nothing left down there. Sea God Tang San's eyes nearly split with rage, yet this bizarre damage not only failed to stop, but grew stronger and more extensive.

Sea God Tang San watched in horror as wounds deep enough to expose bone slowly began appearing on his arms, his thighs, his neck... His life essence was being consumed at a frantic pace in an attempt to recover.

But these injuries, these scars, this pain did not come from the present. They came from the past!

They were injuries that had appeared outside his original timeline, unable to be washed away by time, unable to be healed by time... forcibly descending upon the endpoint of Sea God Tang San's timeline.

"Aaargh!!!"

Sea God Tang San's piercing screams rang through the heavens, and everyone in the Divine Realm turned strange gazes toward him.

The next instant, Sea God Tang San's miserable condition, that bizarre sight, fell before everyone's eyes.

Dense scars appeared all over his body in an instant. Flesh and blood began splattering and dissipating uncontrollably, exposing crimson gaps between his bones.

His flesh was slowly stripped away, until only stark white bones remained... The bizarre sight sent waves of scalp-prickling horror through everyone.

Inside the Wenxin Livestream, everyone in the Three Realms looked horrified at the sight.

"Castration, stripping flesh, scraping bone... Time cannot wash it away, and a God King cannot bear it. Who-who is slicing Sea God Tang San to death!"

"Even a God King can't endure pain like this! What on earth is going on?!"

"Wait, why does it feel like I've seen this bizarre scene somewhere before?!!!"

Within the Wenxin Livestream, the previously closed images of the Heart-Questioning Space slowly opened once more in everyone's minds.

[Douluo I, Heaven Dou Empire, Holy Soul Village, Blacksmith Shop.]

Whoosh!

Tang Hao abruptly stood up, staring in astonishment at the person holding a child in the Wenxin footage. It was none other than himself.

Time flew by. He fed the baby when he was hungry, ignored him when he soiled himself, and only changed him once every few days when he thought he smelled. The swaddled child slowly grew, little by little.

Once the child could crawl and walk, Tang Hao never looked after him again. He spent every day drowning himself in drink, immersed in the pain of alcohol.

The child cried from hunger. The neighbors could not bear to watch and wanted to confront him. That child fully learned to cook dishes and rice, and also had to care for his useless father.

Four years passed in the blink of an eye.

The boy looked at that useless man lying in bed, occasionally whimpering and sobbing, mumbling Ah Yin's name. His eyes held nothing but cold indifference and disgust.

"For two years, I couldn't do anything, but I remember your kindness and acknowledge the care you gave me."

"Two years of caring for you and cooking for you-consider that full repayment for giving me life and raising me."

Tang San, I begged you. I begged you not to fall... into my hands.

Four-year-old Huo Yuhao took a kitchen knife from the kitchen with a resolute gaze, then left home without the slightest hesitation and found an uninhabited spot deep in the mountains.

[Exchanging lives, exchanging lives from within the womb. To enter the world immersively, the soul descends, with one hundred percent pain perception... and inherited feelings.]

Only Huo Yuhao, Tang San, and Tang Wulin knew about the Life Exchange. Everyone in the Wenxin Livestream was unaware that the three had actually exchanged souls.

This was to protect the three from being killed ahead of time. It could be considered a protective mechanism.

But what Wenxin did not know was that the Tang San of the past had fallen into Huo Yuhao's hands. Moreover, only the soul had descended, while the body still belonged to the other person. He was in for some truly terrible suffering.

Hoping to reform the people exchanging lives?

Whatever the case with anyone else, given Tang Hao's neglectful attitude toward Tang San during his childhood, this truly was choosing the wrong person.

But in Huo Yuhao's eyes, he was still better than his biological father. This was also why Huo Yuhao had not immediately chosen to starve himself to death when the Life Exchange began, instead living to four years old to repay Tang Hao for two years of care.

Across the Douluo World's three eras, when it came to who was the maddest and who could endure the most, if Huo Yuhao claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.

The next instant, everyone in the Wenxin Livestream witnessed this scene with terrified eyes.

Huo Yuhao stuffed a strip of white cloth into his mouth. Without disinfectant, without anesthetic... a cold gleam flashed in an instant.

"Mm-waa...!!!"

His hand rose and the blade fell. His muffled groan of pain startled a flurry of birds and beasts.

Everyone looked terrified, their gazes horrified as they watched the four-year-old boy collapse to the ground in agony and fling his little bird to a stray dog, which swallowed it.

Although their souls had been exchanged and the body belonged to someone else, the soul was his own, and the pain was one hundred percent...

Huo Yuhao curled up on the ground. The intense pain made his entire body tremble incessantly. Cold sweat covered him in that instant, and tears spilled uncontrollably, but his eyes were bloodshot and resolute.

The Wenxin Livestream erupted in an instant.

"Is... is this Tang San as a child?"

"I... I'm crying my eyes out. To sever all ties with his former self, has he actually become this decisive and unyielding? Castrating himself through tears-Haki San is awesome!!!"

"No, that's wrong. The timing doesn't match Tang San. Tang San was already six during his heart-questioning. Who exactly is this childhood Tang San...? He seems to have Tang Wulin's decisiveness, but there's also a shadow of Huo Yuhao pushed to the limits of his endurance!!!"

Pfft! Pfft!! Pfft!!!

The next instant, beneath everyone's horrified gazes, cold light flashed incessantly. Flesh and blood flew from Young Tang San's body, actually resonating on-screen with Sea God Tang San on the Divine Realm battlefield.

"Urrgh... aaah!!!!!"

Intense pain swept through four-year-old Huo Yuhao's heart. Castration, slicing himself to death-never mind a child, no person could possibly endure such pain easily.

But he was different. He was Huo Yuhao, burdened with a blood-deep vendetta, the Huo Yuhao who could endure to the utmost limit!

Don't cry, Yuhao. It doesn't hurt, Yuhao. Think of Mom. Think of your future self. If your enemy can feel this pain alongside you...

Even if it's only one ten-thousandth, it's absolutely... worth it!!!

It erupted. The Wenxin Livestream erupted completely.

"Divine descent!!!"

"He absolutely cannot be Tang San. Tang San might do certain things to sever his ties with Sea God Tang San to save his life, but he would never do anything so cruel, because this is him too."

"Tang Wulin might take revenge out of hatred for Sea God Tang San's schemes against him, even kill himself outright, but he wouldn't go so far as to cut off... because he still has his mom and dad to save."

"As far as I recall, to hate enough to do something like this, wielding the blade himself the whole time... slicing himself to death-remember, he feels every bit of it himself too! There's only one person capable of such endurance, such ruthlessness, such decisiveness...!!!"

(If more than thirty people check in, there'll be an extra update tomorrow. Please keep reading.

The plot may look like it's already progressed a lot, but it's only just begun. Before starting this book, the author spent half a month planning it!

Don't you want to see what would happen if Tang Wulin received Huo Yuhao's script, experienced everything Huo Yuhao experienced, and even the mother who was the only one who still loved him died tragically??

For godhood, watch divine Yuhao; before godhood, watch Tang Wulin; for torment, watch Tang San inheriting the Golden Dragon King Seal!)
