Chapter 109 Poseidon Island
Chapter 109 Seagod Island (Part 1)
Above the endless waves.
A massive warship was gliding along, its exterior shaped like a shuttle, with a dragon's head at the front and a fish tail standing upright at the rear, and four fin-like wings on each side.
It was milky white all over, as if it were carved from jade. It was about thirty-eight meters long from head to tail. Even though Huo Yuhao was sitting in the last position, he could still feel the energy fluctuations emanating from it.
This is the Soul Guidance Ship "Cloud Rock Boat".
It can go up or down in the ocean.
It can sail on the sea surface and also dive into the sea.
It is said that the deepest point can be reached is 300 meters.
With it, Huo Yuhao no longer needs to fear any storms when sailing on the sea.
If the waves are huge, you can immediately dive into the deep water.
It can be described as a uniquely blessed life-saving vessel.
This item is also very suitable for viewing the sea or for use as a lifesaving device.
When it transforms into its true form, it becomes completely transparent, allowing one to see objects in the ocean from any angle. It's truly amazing.
At the same time, it can also withstand soul skill attacks from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
From a distance, it exudes a strong sense of oppression.
Its value starts at ten million gold soul coins. If you were Huo Yuhao, you would have created a power and had a large amount of money to support it.
Otherwise, they simply couldn't afford it.
On the upper deck, Huo Yuhao was starting a fire, with a girl beside him whose eyes were sparkling.
This person was none other than Di Qiu'er.
Having nothing else to do, Huo Yuhao grilled a few fish to eat. Little did he know that this was the first time he, a soul beast who had been eating raw meat and drinking blood, had ever tasted such delicious food, and that he would never experience it again.
He kept pestering Huo Yuhao to grill fish.
What can he do?
I had no choice but to agree.
A long journey can easily become monotonous if you only focus on training.
Cultivation, with its alternating periods of relaxation and rest, can sometimes be beneficial to physical and mental health. Huo Yuhao was definitely not interested in being fed.
Absolutely not.
Huo Yuhao checked the seasonings first, and then began to process the bluefish. There were quite a lot of seasonings. Biji was very thoughtful, even finding some perilla leaves from the sea.
Indeed, the name of this ferocious beast is well-deserved.
Huo Yuhao tore the perilla leaves into pieces, mixed them with other seasonings, stuffed them into the belly of the sea fish, and skewered them with bamboo skewers.
Starting a fire was a piece of cake for him. He casually snapped his fingers, and Di Qiuji immediately understood, opening her cherry-like mouth slightly to spew out a burst of blazing flame.
Before long, several pieces of glowing red charcoal appeared in the oven.
The oven is quite large; it can hold eight fish at the same time.
He started baking it right away.
It has to be said that Huo Yuhao's skill in grilling fish is truly exceptional. Despite not having grilled fish for a long time, his technique has not deteriorated at all; on the contrary, it has improved significantly.
In no time, a rich aroma wafted out.
The greedy Di Qiuji couldn't help but let tears slide down his cheeks.
The golden-brown fish, grilled to a golden brown, still had a faint sheen of oil, and a rich aroma continuously wafted from its belly.
When my teeth touched the grilled fish, they even made a slight crackling sound. The fish skin was completely crispy, yet not charred at all. Beneath the crispy skin was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned fish meat.
With just one bite, Di Qiu'er's eyes widened. Forgetting to praise it, she finished the fish in a few bites and kept staring at Huo Yuhao, indicating that she wanted more.
Although she used to be a very voracious eater as a soul beast, that was in the past.
Now that she has taken human form, even if she has an amazing appetite, she can't eat the equivalent of a whole cow.
After all, not everyone is like the Silver Dragon King, who can eat so much.
Before long, Di Qiu'er lay on the deck, rubbing her slightly rounded belly, a happy expression on her face.
"Bridget, you should have one too."
Seeing that the big client had finished eating, Huo Yuhao casually handed the grilled fish in his hand to the silent figure behind him.
After all, this person was also a client who provided the materials.
How could I not share something?
"Thank you, Tower Master."
Biji nodded slightly, took the grilled fish and ate it in small bites. Compared to Di Qiu'er's unrestrained eating habits, her manners were much more elegant, especially with her stunningly beautiful face, making her a pleasing sight to behold.
You're too kind.
Huo Yuhao took out a map and a compass, and activated his mental detection to confirm his location.
Poseidon Island is not far from Douluo Continent.
But it's not exactly close either.
Especially after ten thousand years, when the Sea God Tang San became a god, the entire Sea God Island seemed to have disappeared overnight. Many people tried to go there to see the god, but they could not find it.
Even the avalanche of the Heaven Dou Empire ten thousand years ago, which Tang San's disciple personally went to, could not be found.
How could such a large island possibly disappear?
Huo Yuhao suspected that this must be Tang San's doing.
There might be some kind of magnetic field or soul skill on the outside that could mislead people. He must be vigilant and keep trying to find a weakness so he can kill Seagod Island.
According to the information transmitted by the clone.
Now, Xu Tianran has ascended the throne.
Because of his previous massacre of most of the noble leaders, he easily seized all power and is now sharpening his knives, recruiting soldiers on a large scale.
It's clear they're preparing for war.
However, even with the Sun Moon Empire's overall strength, it would be impossible for the conflict with the three kingdoms to end so quickly.
According to Huo Yuhao's estimate, it might take about six months.
This period of time is enough for him to go to Poseidon Island, then infiltrate the battle, kill Xu Tianran in one fell swoop, and thus begin the path to unifying the world.
That day is not far away.
Empire of the Sun and Moon.
Huo Yuhao's clone accompanied Zhongli Wumian to meet Xu Tianran.
"Congratulations on Your Majesty's new ascension to the throne! The entire Holy Spirit Sect is willing to assist you in uniting the sun and moon under one sky." Zhongli Wu cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Very well, with you all here, the future will surely be bright." Xu Tianran strode forward, gently helped Zhongli Wu up, and said with a joyful expression, "Having the Holy Spirit Sect is like a fish in water for me. I hereby promise that in the future, I will definitely rule the world together with the Holy Spirit Sect."
"Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail your trust."
-
Huo Yuhao, watching the two old foxes putting on an act, twitched his lips slightly. If he didn't know their true nature, he would have thought they were so perfectly aligned.
Indeed, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.
After some pleasantries and small talk, Xu Tianran ushered Zhongli Wu to the seat of honor and asked, "Master, as you know, our Sun and Moon Sect needs a legitimate reason to send troops. Otherwise, we might be surrounded by three kingdoms, facing attacks from all sides, making it difficult to resist!"
As the ruler of a country.
If you want to achieve this ambition, you absolutely cannot win through trickery and deceit.
We must crush them openly and fairly.
This is the way of the emperor.
This is also what people want.
As we all know, conquering the world is easy, but governing it is difficult.
Those who seize power through various means will ultimately lack the virtue to match their position and will find it difficult to last long, just like that bastard Sima Yi.
Ten years in the making, yet it is a classic.
However, he also stirred up human greed.
At the same time, it suffered unimaginable backlash.
Sima Family Nine Clans Elimination Game.
Even later emperors would use the Sima family to boost their political achievements.
The same goes for Xu Tianran.
He wanted to unify the continent, but he couldn't simply take it all by force.
The teacher is famous.
This is a statement made to one's own people and to the future people of the other side.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I already have a plan." Zhongli Wu calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Currently, among the three kingdoms, the Douling Empire is the weakest. Let my evil soul masters carry out a large-scale massacre there, creating chaos and rendering the royal family powerless. Then we can launch a surprise attack!"
"Under the guise of eliminating evil spirit masters and rescuing fighting spirits, the royal family only cares about feasting and drinking, ignoring the slogans of their people."
It must be said, this was a brilliant strategy.
Evil Soul Masters are universally condemned; this is common knowledge in the Douluo Continent.
When a royal family is powerless to expel the ills of a nation, the people are filled with anxiety, which is precisely the best way to conquer it.
"Very good, very good, the leader is indeed a man of great talent." Xu Tianran was overjoyed upon hearing this, slapped his thigh, and immediately said, "Then I will trouble the leader. After the matter is accomplished, I will naturally establish your sect as the national religion. However, the name of the Holy Spirit Sect needs to be kept secret. On the surface, I hope it will be another name. After the unification in the future, I will definitely prove it."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at Xu Tianran.
Their Holy Spirit Church doesn't use this name, so what's the point?
Is that more reasonable, and should be proven after unification?
If anyone believes this nonsense, Zhongli Wu will simply stand upside down and sleep in the same kennel as a dog; that would surely be a case of using someone and then discarding them.
However, his goal was not to become a force in the open, but to replace the Sun Moon Empire and control the entire Douluo Continent.
Thinking of this, Zhongli Wu's face lit up with joy, and he bowed to Xu Tianran without any attempt to hide his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two then discussed some details briefly before leaving.
Xu Tianran's gentle demeanor turned icy cold after the two figures disappeared from sight, making him seem like a completely different person.
"Hmph, they're so easy to fool."
"If it weren't for that Spirit Pagoda's ungrateful behavior, how could I have used the Holy Spirit Cult? Sooner or later, I will make them personally teach me the secret techniques."
"Soul beasts are nothing but slaves!"
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"
Two and a half days later.
Above the endless waves.
Huo Yuhao frowned, staring at the endless line of waves before him, feeling extremely irritated.
He was following the map, and logically, he should have been near Poseidon Island or a nearby island.
But that's not the case in reality.
It looked like it was spinning in circles.
"Could it be that there's some kind of ghost wall?" Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, looking at Bi Ji not far away and asking, "Have you noticed anything?"
"No!" Brigitte shook her head and said calmly, "Every time I fly forward, I always inexplicably return to the city where I started, as if I'm going backward."
Even someone with her strength is like this.
Let alone Huo Yuhao now?
"If only I had brought Old Yi along, maybe he would have had a solution."
Huo Yuhao sighed, thinking helplessly.
Long ago, he left Elder Yi at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, since the research on soul spirits there could not be done without Elder Yi.
I thought this trip to Poseidon Island would go smoothly.
Just then, the surrounding air distorted strangely.
A violent tremor suddenly came from beneath their feet, accompanied by a loud bang that temporarily deafened Huo Yuhao, and hurled their bodies, along with the soul-guided spaceship, into the air.
Despite its enormous size and armored hull, the soul-guided spaceship was reduced to fragments by the violent impact.
Huo Yuhao quickly spread his wings, picked up the bewildered Di Qiu'er with one hand, and looked at the sea with a furious expression.
His ten million gold soul coins are gone.
He was already having a headache, and since a soul beast dared to launch a sneak attack, then he wouldn't hold back!
The once calm sea suddenly began to churn violently, creating towering waves.
A thick column of water, fifteen meters in diameter, shot into the sky, distorting the air and becoming the culprit that destroyed the soul-guided spaceship.
As the spaceship shattered, a massive body, resembling a small island, slowly rose from the water.
All the surrounding seawater was covered with a thick blue luster. At this moment, it seemed as if the sky was the earth and the sea had become the azure sky.
A deep, muffled roar resounded, and a massive wave of sound surged forth.
A strong sense of dizziness kept sweeping over him, but unlike Di Qiu'er, who was already in a daze, Huo Yuhao was still able to resist it thanks to his strong mental strength.
He stared intently at the scene below, his mental probe instantly probing into the ocean depths. In his mind, a massive body, thousands of meters underwater, was visible.
It is over two hundred meters long, with a sapphire-like color throughout, and has two huge eyes on its head.
Judging from its aura alone, it should be a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast.
With a slight movement of its body, a huge tail rose from behind, carrying a distorted blue light, and slammed heavily onto the sea surface.
Hundreds of millions of water droplets shot into the sky.
Each drop was like a sharp, swift arrow.
In mid-air, a strange water curtain with a blue glow illuminated the sky, and that enormous water curtain enveloped the shattered spaceship fragments and all the people who had taken to the air.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Time Stop!"
Huo Yuhao's heterochromatic eyes suddenly shone brightly, and wherever his gaze fell, thousands of water droplets were instantly frozen in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.
Even the 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast that had just peeked out showed a slight pause in its figure under the time restriction.
But with their superior strength, they quickly broke free.
After all, it was a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast comparable to a Super Douluo, and the enhancement it received on the sea was far too powerful.
Huo Yuhao was not surprised that he was able to break free.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Emperor's Claw!"
Huo Yuhao waved his sleeve, and countless spears behind him began to condense, while the extreme ice surrounding him gradually solidified into ice even on the sea surface a hundred meters below.
At his signal, long spears gleaming with cold light rained down on the sea like arrows.
"roar!!!"
