Chapter 113 The High Priest's Commission? A Prophecy?
Poseidon Island, inside the Temple of the Priests.
Huo Yuhao and the others stepped inside. The place was very simple, with only a statue of the Sea God Tang San, a bed, and a table.
The high priest, who lives atop Poseidon Island, is difficult to get along with. His dwelling is so humble that there are cobwebs everywhere in the corners of the eaves and many cracks in the ground, indicating that it has not been cleaned in a long time.
"Please sit down, don't be shy."
Then they saw a beautiful figure facing them, a faint smile on her lips, extending an invitation.
"Thank you, High Priest."
Huo Yuhao nodded, glanced at the worn-out cushion next to the low table, and sat down without any disgust.
Biji and Di Qiu'er were also sitting next to him.
Neither side spoke calmly.
Just sitting there.
"The Sea God Tea is here!" Just then, Azure hurriedly walked in carrying a steaming teapot.
I don't know if I was too clumsy or not in good health, but as I was walking, I suddenly tripped over my own foot, and the teapot flew up instantly.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao slid his fingers together, and his own soul power quietly reached out to support Bilan, who was about to fall to the ground.
As for the teapot, there was no sign of it falling at all; the steaming tea was frozen in mid-air, clearly the work of Sofia.
"Please!" Sophia raised her eyes slightly, and the tea, as if possessed, spun a few times in the air before landing in front of Huo Yuhao's woman.
Although there was no teacup, the water condensed into the shape of a cup.
This level of control is truly worthy of a Limit Douluo.
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao reached out to take it, but was surprised to find that although it was steaming, it had no heat on the outside.
Gathering water and transforming it into form was a piece of cake for Huo Yuhao, and a Limit Douluo could certainly do it too, but this contradictory performance surprised him somewhat.
Even with his current mastery of ice, which allows him to freeze a gun, he still cannot make the surface completely cool.
This high priest is very powerful.
She was so strong that Huo Yuhao wasn't confident he could win with Bi Ji's help at this moment.
The difficulty of this third test is a bit too high.
To destroy Seagod Island, he would probably need to rally everyone in the Spirit Pagoda to have any chance of success.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this difficult.
Huo Yuhao pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so he had to give up for the time being and took a small sip of the so-called Sea God Tea.
The taste wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.
It's all about the taste of the ocean, with a slightly salty-sweet flavor.
Unlike the fragrant tea that Huo Yuhao had drunk before.
But it's just that people don't like it.
Perhaps it's because it's called "Sea God Tea"!
Seeing that the person opposite him remained silent, Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "High Priest, may I ask what business you have with us?"
"I'm here to ask you for a favor."
Sofia waved her sleeve, and a parchment scroll was placed on the table, with two particularly eye-catching red circles on it.
One is Poseidon Island.
One is the ocean located in the far west.
"I might not be able to do that." Huo Yuhao shook his head and immediately refused.
He came here to destroy Poseidon Island.
Playing the emotional card won't work.
Even for a Limit Douluo, backstabbing is not an easy thing, let alone the fact that he disdains backstabbing.
To show the other party the utmost respect, he planned to inscribe a teleportation array to summon Xue Di, Di Tian, and others, thus openly declaring war.
"Don't be so quick to refuse." A glint flashed in Sophia's sapphire-blue eyes as she said mysteriously, "I know why you're here, and I know what you want to do."
"You have great talent. The one next to you must be the ferocious beast Biji from the Star Dou Great Forest. These alone might not be enough to deal with me."
The high priest spoke with exceptional confidence.
A subtle aura of authority emanated from her, and Huo Yuhao immediately felt immense pressure, causing him to pause in surprise.
Could this person have received guidance from Tang San?
Or perhaps he possesses some ability that he is unaware of?
"High Priest, what do you want to do—"
Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Sophia suddenly interrupted, "Don't worry, I promise you, everything will end, it will end on a grand, dramatic stage."
"Three days from now, I hope you will come with the pearl contained within the 100,000-year-old seashell beast."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not agree, but instead asked, "What if I don't agree?"
"That's alright." Sophia still had a faint smile on her lips, as if she was confident about everything.
Time seemed to have passed for a very long time.
It felt like only a short while had passed.
"I agree."
Huo Yuhao picked up the parchment scroll and went outside.
Since this person knows something, if he acts rashly, something might be waiting for him.
Just agree to it.
The edge of Poseidon Island.
Di Qiu'er kicked a roadside stone into the sea, pouting and asking in confusion, "Why should we help that woman take away the treasure of a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
"He's just a mere Limit Douluo. Once Uncle Di Tian arrives, he'll surely be able to submit to him."
She was furious.
"I know what you're thinking, but that's their base of operations after all." Huo Yuhao gently rubbed her soft head and explained, "This Seagod Island is, after all, a place of worship for the Seagod. There might be things we don't understand."
"Even we can't easily find our way in. If things really fall apart and Di Tian can't get here immediately, our safety can't be guaranteed."
Huo Yuhao's words make a lot of sense.
By the time the high priest noticed them, they had no way out.
Did they go there on their own, or were they forced to come and invite them?
There's nothing wrong with being more cautious.
"What you said makes a lot of sense, but I'm still so angry." Di Qiu'er's face was full of resentment, clearly she was sulking.
"Qiu'er, what the Tower Master said makes a lot of sense." Bi Ji comforted her from the side, "Putting aside the fact that the Tower Master will be invincible if he survives, the fact that our Soul Beast race will lose our auspicious beast is something we cannot accept."
Auspicious beasts are very important to soul beasts.
The Emperor Beast, possessing the destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest, has the dual extreme attributes of light and fire, and also cultivates the spiritual system. With ten thousand years of cultivation, it can rival a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. Its status in the Star Dou Great Forest is extremely high, and even ferocious beasts are not as important as the Three-Eyed Golden Beast.
The Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Beast possesses a portion of the Golden Dragon bloodline, enabling it to summon divine artifacts. It is virtually invincible among soul beasts and soul masters of the same level, with few powerful individuals capable of contending with it.
The most valuable thing about the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Beast is that it controls the fortune of the forest. As long as the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Beast is around, the cultivation speed of the soul beast will be twice as fast.
Even the Silver Dragon King's injuries recovered much faster due to the birth of the auspicious beast, making it a necessary factor for the rise of soul beasts.
She's gone.
The Soul Beast race will stagnate, or rather, will no longer be able to grow at a rate comparable to that of humans. They will accumulate power over thousands or even hundreds of years, and will be completely unable to catch up with the increasingly powerful human race.
It could also be said that the appearance of auspicious beasts will be the final extinction of soul beasts.
If we win, we will have peace of mind for all generations.
Defeat means falling into a slow death.
"Hmm—I know, but I just can't stand it. By the power of fate, I had already foreseen her death; it was only a matter of time."
Di Qiu'er's words were truly astonishing.
This made Huo Yuhao and Bi Ji's eyes light up.
It's no joke that auspicious beasts can foresee the future.
In the original story, if it weren't for a plot device, he wouldn't have died at all.
What she says is absolutely guaranteed.
"Tower Master, what should we do next?" Bi Ji asked Huo Yuhao.
"As usual, we will go to search for the pearls of the seashell beasts, and I will also invite Xue Di and Di Tian to come over."
A dazzling light flashed in Huo Yuhao's heterochromatic eyes as he raised one hand high, "Come out, Zafkiel!"
In the blink of an eye.
A massive golden clock, exuding an aura of vastness and antiquity, quietly appeared behind him, and time itself seemed to stand still at that moment.
"Eighth Bullet, Summon Clone!"
A red Mauser appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand at some unknown time. A bullet pierced through the past and the future, blurring time and space. It was as if an unparalleled force was pulling the river of time, causing various timelines to blur.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"Oh, I didn't expect to be summoned."
"Is there anything we can help you with?"
Huo Yuhao, from various timelines, answered the summons and came to this space-time. Each of them had a slightly different personality.
But in terms of appearance and aura, there was no difference whatsoever.
"Help me build a teleportation array and try to summon Xue Di and the others within three days. At the same time, use your mental power to shroud this place to avoid being discovered."
Huo Yuhao's idea was very simple.
He can find that pearl that's 100,000 years old.
But in return, he would also summon Xue Di and the others.
Three days is enough time for him to bring Pearl, Di Tian, and the others to destroy Seagod Island.
If this high priest can really help him complete the divine test, then everything will be fine. But destroying Seagod Island is not as simple as it sounds.
He also wanted to see what tricks this guy could pull.
With his clone present, he could confidently go and meet this so-called "seashell beast!"
What would it look like if seashells in Douluo Continent came to life?
"Wow, so many Yuhaos!"
Di Qiu'er, witnessing such a magical scene for the first time, was filled with curiosity. She looked at each one from the left and the right, and through the power of fate, she seemed to see vivid yet different versions of Huo Yuhao.
This made her even more curious about Huo Yuhao.
Where does this mysterious and charming man come from?
Does this kind of martial spirit really exist?
A slight ripple appeared in Bi Ji's eyes. With her strength, she couldn't even see who the real person was. Could such a peculiar clone technique really be mastered by a Soul Master?
Even the gods are probably no more than this.
Shouldn't the inheritor of the God of Destruction inherit the power of destruction?
Why does it seem to be related to time?
"Alright, let's get back to work!" Huo Yuhao reminded them.
Traveling eight thousand miles round trip over three days, and also obtaining a treasure from the seashell beast, is no short undertaking.
We must go and return quickly.
"I'll lead the way!" Brigitte put aside her distracting thoughts and immediately led the two of them away quickly.
At her speed, if she puts all her effort into it, she should be able to get back quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the three figures disappeared on the sea.
Thanks to the parchment scrolls given to them by the high priest, they did not get lost and instead left the area of Poseidon Island without any problems.
Only three clones of Huo Yuhao remained in the same spot.
"Then let's not just sit idly by, shall we?"
"Okay, let's finish quickly and head back."
"I agree, my Qiu'er is still alone in her empty room!"
"Oh, you've already eaten over there?"
"Of course, I'm Yuhao, the Casanova. Building a harem is just a piece of cake for me."
"Don't you have any petty scoundrels around there?"
"Oh, that guy, apparently he was casually crushed to death by a passing powerful figure, supposedly because they were unhappy with him. So, in my timeline, things went very smoothly!"
The sun slowly rose from the sea, and golden sunlight spilled onto the shimmering surface of the sea. A swift figure streaked across the sky, as if draping the sea in a dazzling golden veil.
Seagulls soar in the sky, occasionally letting out a few cries, as if accompanying this beautiful scene.
From dawn until nightfall, the sea returned to calm, and the stars twinkled in the night sky, their light reflecting off the lights on the sea.
Huo Yuhao and the others finally arrived at their approximate location according to the map.
"Take the Heavenly Water Pill before going into the sea."
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Before searching for the seashell beast, Huo Yuhao took out the pills he had prepared in advance.
Although all three belong to the ranks of the strong.
However, in the ocean, one must not only ensure one's breathing at all times, but also be constantly engaged in combat. No matter how much soul power one accumulates, it is difficult to expend it in such a way.
Therefore, before setting off, Huo Yuhao specially refined a batch of pills. After taking them, he could breathe underwater for a short period of time, which could effectively avoid the consumption of soul power.
"it is good."
Biji and Di Qiu'er had no doubts and swallowed it in one gulp before diving into the water.
How deep is the ocean?
Some say it's eight thousand feet deep, some say it's a bottomless pit, and some even say it contains an unparalleled empire.
When Huo Yuhao and the others infiltrated the area, even with Bi Ji's formidable strength pulling them down for a full quarter of an hour, they still hadn't reached the other side, and the light overhead was still very intense.
Clearly, they haven't entered the deep sea area yet.
Seashell Beasts are shell-type Soul Beasts that live in the dark, deep sea, where there is no sunlight. Sea Soul Beasts are extremely rare, but they also contain incomprehensible ocean power.
Otherwise, it's impossible to explain how they survived without food.
Is the mayfly darting up and down to hunt its prey?
Of course, it's not impossible.
However, that deep sea area is probably already tens of thousands of feet deep, right?
"roll!"
As they descended deeper, the sea spirit beasts around them became increasingly dense, to the point that Huo Yuhao and his companions had no corner to move through.
It was clear that they had entered the lair of some sea spirit beast.
Upon seeing this, Bi Ji unleashed the unique aura of a ferocious beast, and in an instant, countless sea spirit beasts rushed away from the area.
But there are always those who are not afraid of death.
For example, several great white sharks suddenly came towards them.
