"No matter what, the Shadow is no longer someone we can defeat."
"I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult for him to become a god if he wanted to," Cai Mei'er analyzed calmly.
"But why doesn't he go? Unless he's sensed something? Could this so-called godhood be a trap we've never encountered before?"
"If that's the case, why didn't the Shrek ancestors leave any message?"
Cai Mei'er was almost completely lost in a brainstorming session.
Yan Shaozhe reached out and grabbed her slightly trembling wrist.
Cai Mei'er suddenly came to her senses, looking at Yan Shaozhe with a somewhat blank expression.
Yan Shaozhe lowered his voice and said, "Now is not the time to think about these things. Let's go back to the academy first."
Cai Mei'er's eyes narrowed, and she nodded, saying, "That's right, let's go back to the academy first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"
"Leaving won't be easy. I can sense the fluctuations of Soul Power in this space; it seems the Shadow has already noticed us."
Xian Lin'er sighed upwards, brandishing her spear, ready for battle.
They, the Shrek students, have probably been targeted by the Shadow for a long time.
After all, when Shadow was absorbing the Soul Ring, Ma Xiaotao had been attacking the strange protective shield on the island.
Even if they are just on the sidelines, in the Shadow's mind they are all implicated.
On an island.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power rippled outwards, and the battle between Ice Empress and Ma Xiaotao had long since stopped. At the same time, they were watching him in the air.
Huo Yuhao also noticed Xiao Xiao, Yan Shaozhe, and the others who were nearby.
call...
Huo Yuhao let out a long breath. The Mermaid Queen had provided him with three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Although he already knew their effects, he didn't have the opportunity to test them out for the time being.
With a wave of his hand, two beams of light flew straight into Huo Yuhao's brow.
The magic circle below shattered simultaneously.
" Tian Meng, Elder Yi, you've worked hard."
Huo Yuhao expressed his gratitude within the Sea of Consciousness.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, two streams of Spiritual Power emanated fluctuations.
"Boss, I almost died... I... I'm so tired... I need a vacation... a... six months... phew... phew..."
"Young Huo, be careful. Those Deity are ultimately hiding in the shadows. I can't be of much help for now. There seems to be a powerful aura watching this place nearby..."
After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux exchanged their last words, they fell into complete silence and went into a period of rest.
Huo Yuhao turned around and extended his right hand. The towering pillar of light behind him slowly receded, and a white cocoon as tall as a person appeared in front of him.
" Liya, take this with you. We'll meet again."
Huo Yuhao's deep voice echoed as the giant cocoon flew straight towards Liya on the island.
Liya quickly used her Soul Power to support the large cocoon, within which the blood-connected aura continuously emitted a life force.
The energy fluctuations within it alternate between stillness and movement, much like breathing.
"Thank you, Lord Shadow."
With tears in her eyes, Liya bowed deeply to Huo Yuhao.
Without the slightest hesitation, her long legs transformed into a magnificent fish tail, disappearing into the sea with the large cocoon behind them.
Huo Yuhao's gaze swept around again, and an invisible pressure, like a giant hand covering the sky, enveloped everyone.
"Plop!..."
Qian Duoduo swallowed hard; her back was already soaked with cold sweat.
"Those who are not involved, leave immediately! You will die in three breaths!"
Huo Yuhao's voice wasn't loud, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears.
At the same time, dozens of black figures appeared around this space, surrounding it; they were actually people from the Shadow Garden.
"Walk!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Yan Shaozhe grabbed Cai Mei'er beside him, and the energy chain also connected Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er together.
The four of them simultaneously reached their maximum Soul Power and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
As for Xiao Xiao, she hadn't even had time to react before Jiang Nannan had already pulled her into her arms, and she and Ling Luochеn and the others had Teleportation away from their original spot.
Only Ice Empress and Ma Xiaotiao remained at the scene; everyone else had quickly left.
Huo Yuhao slowly lowered his body.
Ice Empress bowed deeply and greeted, "Lord Shadow."
Huo Yuhao nodded in response.
His gaze fell on Ma Xiaotao, and he also noticed the charred feather floating on her chest, from which the Divine Power fluctuations were very strong.
"It seems that this is what the Phoenix God left behind."
Huo Yuhao raised his hand, and a large hand of Soul Power materialized out of thin air, reaching out to grab the feather.
"Kid, there are some things you can't touch."
A sudden, powerful male voice echoed like rolling thunder.
The Soul Power hand that Huo Yuhao casually condensed shattered like glass.
Within the range of the Spiritual Detection, two powerful auras surged in.
Like two drops of ink falling into clear water, they began to forcefully invade Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection range.
Huo Yuhao looked up and saw a man and a woman who had appeared in the air at some point.
The man appeared to be close to fifty years old, but he was very tall and muscular, with clearly defined bronze arm muscles visible beneath his leather vest.
His short hair stood on end like steel needles, his piercing eyes were as resolute as an ancient demon god, his muscles bulged, and his whole body was enveloped in a seven-colored light.
Behind him, nine Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red—condensed into a magnificent God Ring.
The woman was beautiful and charming, her long blue and gold dress covering her entire body. Her noble and elegant temperament accentuated her otherworldly beauty. Her deep blue eyes were as flawless as blue crystals, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air as her dress fluttered.
She is the very center of the universe, breathtakingly beautiful, and every smile and frown of hers can shake one's soul.
This woman's beauty is no less than that of Wang Dong'er and others.
Both were there at the same time, but the man became the flaw in the whole affair.
The man reached out and grabbed her, Ma Xiaotao flew uncontrollably toward him.
The man grabbed Ma Xiaotao's fair arm and pulled her behind him.
" Brother Hao, hold back a bit."
The woman touched Ma Xiaotao's arm, which had been pinched red, with a touch of heartache, and a surge of life force quickly made the swelling subside.
" Ah Yin, it hasn't been long since you've fought, you seem to be getting a little tired." The man laughed heartily, his fighting spirit soaring.
The woman Ah Yin gave Ma Xiaotao a reproachful look and said softly, "Since you are the successor chosen by Hongjun, we will definitely protect you."
Huo Yuhao naturally recognized the two as Ah Yin and Tang Hao, two reclusive Second-Level Deity from the Douluo Plane.
Tang Hao reached out and grabbed the charred feather in front of Ma Xiaotao, shaking his head with some regret. "Unfortunately, we're a step too late."
Tang Hao's gaze was intense as he looked at Ma Xiaotao: "Since that's the case, little girl, Hongjun's will is now in your hands. This feather is the Deity inheritance of his Phoenix God."
Before Ma Xiaotao could react, Tang Hao injected the charred feather into her body.
boom!
The Ultimate Fire erupted almost instantly, burning most of the sky red.
The Phoenix wings behind Ma Xiaotao suddenly unfurled.
Before she even realized what was happening, the fiery wings enveloped her, transforming her into an egg encased in Ultimate Fire.
