Chapter 151: The Obstacle of Swallowing the Sea
Because of the pressure brought by the Sun-Moon Empire's increasingly unscrupulous behavior in recent years.
Now the three empires that originally belonged to Douluo Continent have united again.
Compared with the hasty response of the Sun-Moon Empire when it first launched a war, the three empires, which had been well prepared, now appeared to be much more united at least on the surface.
Compared to the original novel, the situation on the mainland at this point in time is still relatively peaceful.
Now, due to a series of poor behaviors of Shrek Academy, the Sun-Moon Empire has begun to show its true colors.
It seemed that they were not prepared to continue pretending, and the tension between the four empires was growing.
In the original novel, the Sun-Moon Empire would be wary of the reputation of Shrek Academy.
There is still a considerable deterrent effect on the military and civilians in his own country, so he dare not act rashly.
But now, Shrek Academy has experienced many blows, including the loss of the championship, two attacks, and the restructuring of the Poseidon Pavilion.
Although the tiger's power still exists after its death, there is a wave of public opinion in the Sun-Moon Empire that boycotts and suppresses Shrek Academy.
Of course, the Sun Moon Empire's royal family and the Holy Spirit Church were secretly manipulating this. After all, only by eliminating the awe of the military and civilians in their own country towards Shrek Academy could they succeed.
Only then can they let go and wage an all-out war against the forces that originally belonged to Douluo Continent. Otherwise, they will never be able to exert their full strength.
Compared with the Sun-Moon Empire where domestic public opinion is intentionally controlled, even the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent are the fundamental source of students for Shrek Academy.
Today, people no longer have the almost mindless worship they once had towards Shrek Academy. The lofty aura of Shrek Academy that has lasted for thousands of years now shows signs of collapse.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, and had a better understanding of the current situation. After all, when he was in seclusion, he had just learned about the second attack on Shrek Academy.
As for the various changes and subsequent impacts that occurred afterwards, he was unaware of them. However, Huo Yuhao asked with some doubt, "Is the Sea God Pavilion being restructured?"
At this time, in the main hall of the Body Sect, except for Que Du Bu Si and Huo Yuhao, the Great Elder Jin Peng and several other elders who were still remaining in the Body Sect had already arrived.
"That's right." The great elder Jin Peng continued speaking.
Compared to Du Bushi, he, who is actually in charge of management and mobilization within the Body Sect, has a clearer understanding of the changes in the current situation on the continent.
"After Shrek Academy was attacked for the second time, the Haotian Sect, which had been in seclusion for many years, announced that it would come out to support Shrek Academy."
"At the same time, Shrek Academy strongly invites its Grand Master and Second Master, two Ultimate Douluo-level masters, to move into the Sea God Pavilion to stabilize Shrek Academy today."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. The existence of Niu Tian and Titan undoubtedly made the waters of Douluo Continent, which had already deviated from the development of the original work, even more muddy.
Jin Peng continued to analyze: "Although these two Extreme Douluo did not directly express their desire to control the power of the Sea God Pavilion."
"But in order to stabilize people's hearts and deepen the bond with these two Ultimate Douluo, the power structure of the Sea God Pavilion has undergone some changes."
"After all, the current Sea God Pavilion Master is Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, whose strength is only that of a ninety-eighth level Super Douluo."
"In this case, even if it is just external assistance, how can the Extreme Douluo, as a top-level powerhouse, allow a Super Douluo to suppress him?"
"No matter what they think, in the eyes of others, either these two Extreme Douluo don't think highly of Shrek Academy, or Shrek Academy underestimates them."
"So it's different from the original situation where the Sea God Pavilion Master was the leader and had absolute power and say."
"Now in Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, most of the power of the Sea God Pavilion Master has been distributed among the elders."
Hearing this, Du Bu Si sneered and said, "What a change, if you are being sidelined, just say you are being sidelined. Why are you saying it so nicely? What's the point of flattering that old man Xuan Zi?"
Hearing this, Jin Peng also smiled, but did not refute. Instead, he continued, "Anyway, the person we are dealing with now is Lin Huiqun, the former No. 2 figure of the Sea God Pavilion."
"At the same time, after the two Ultimate Douluo appeared, apart from demonstrating their strength once, they rarely showed up in public."
“As for what other specific changes have taken place in Shrek Academy due to the support of the Clear Sky Sect and the joining of the two Ultimate Douluo, we don’t know.”
Huo Yuhao nodded: "I understand roughly, but I don't know how the other four empires will react."
At this point, Du Bu Si's expression darkened slightly, and Jin Peng sighed and said, "We all underestimated the Sun Moon Empire."
"I never thought that the Sun Moon Empire, which we once ignored, actually has three Ultimate Douluo-level fighters."
"Those evil soul masters who were hiding here and there, I didn't expect that they have become powerful in recent years and founded a so-called Holy Spirit Church."
"They hid in the Sun-Moon Empire and were never discovered by us. In order to compete with the Haotian Sect, the Sun-Moon Empire even established it as a state religion."
"I think the reason why the Holy Spirit Church has grown to such a level is definitely related to the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire."
Jin Peng's expression was somewhat solemn: "Shrek Academy was attacked twice before, and the real culprit behind the attack was the Holy Spirit Church. After they showed up, the news spread throughout the continent."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao could also imagine what would happen when the real murderer who attacked Shrek City appeared in public.
However, when Shrek Academy was unable to impose sanctions, what a terrible blow this would cause to Shrek Academy's reputation, which was already on the verge of collapse.
"In addition to the elders who have reached the title level, there are also several Super Douluo in the Holy Spirit Church."
"Even their two great elders have reached the Ultimate Douluo level."
"Bah, that old thing Long Xiaoyao really has no shame." Having said this, Du Bu Si spoke indignantly with foul language.
After all, Long Xiaoyao was a member of the Tianhun Empire before. Unexpectedly, after he had acquired the ultimate level of cultivation, he would instead defect to the Sun and Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church.
Although their personal positions and reasons are different, if he doesn't poison him to death, he is standing on the standpoint of the Tianhun Empire to despise Long Xiaoyao.
"In addition to the two supreme elders who possess extreme strength, the Sun-Moon Empire has also won over the Evil Emperor, one of the ten fierce beasts, as an aid."
"And the terrifying cultivation of the Evil Emperor is even three times stronger than that of an ordinary Ultimate Douluo."
"I really don't know what kind of price and conditions the Holy Spirit Church promised in order to make the Evil Emperor take action." "And in order to test the level of both sides, the sect master and the two Ultimate Douluo of the Haotian Sect once fought with the three ultimate masters of the Sun and Moon Empire at the border."
"Although neither side has used their full strength, it is certain that the Sun-Moon Empire now has three extreme-level fighters at the same time, just like the Three Douluo Kingdoms I used to belong to."
"Moreover, according to what the sect master said, whether it is the Evil Emperor or the two Ultimate Douluo of the Haotian Sect, their backgrounds are quite extraordinary, and they are slightly above the ordinary Ultimate level."
Du Bu Si snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid of them. If they want to fight with real swords and guns, I won't even frown!"
"Besides, my ability is not limited to fighting alone. As long as I want, I can defeat the Demonic Forest, the Holy Spirit Church, the Sun and Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, and the Haotian Sect."
Du Bu Si smiled sinisterly and said, "Except for those few others, no one else will survive!"
Jin Peng sighed slightly, then shook his head and said, "So when both sides have equal high-end combat power, they are naturally quite wary of each other. In this case, they naturally cannot break the rules and end the game easily."
"But if this is done, it will be equivalent to equalizing the combat power of both sides, and the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire are indeed quite sophisticated."
"After much research, we have roughly formed our expectations. Although the few soul guide production strategies left by the young master can narrow the gap between our Tianhun Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire to a certain extent."
"But the gap between the other two empires and Shrek Academy and the current Sun-Moon Empire is still too big. I'm afraid if a war really starts, then..."
"And this is just the difference between low-end and mid-end soul guides. As for the cutting-edge soul guides, I think the Sect Master and the Young Sect Master should know more about them than I do."
Huo Yuhao nodded. He naturally understood this.
However, compared with the strength that the Sun-Moon Empire has now exposed, the speculations made from the information he had previously learned from Di Ruier gave him more headaches.
That is, if the Sun-Moon Empire has already cooperated with Emperor Tian, then it means that Emperor Tian actually has his own plans.
In this case, it would be questionable whether the plans and rhetoric that he had originally made could be effective on Di Tian.
Du Bushi also looked a little worried, but he did not refute it, because although Kong Deming, the strongest soul instructor of the Sun Moon Empire, had a soul power far inferior to his.
At that time, when the six Extreme Douluo were fighting, he also felt a sense of fear, so he did not use his full strength.
And with the ability of Extreme Douluo, he naturally noticed it after the battle.
The person who gave him a strong sense of threat at that time was Kong Deming, who had not arrived at the battlefield but was watching from afar.
No matter how strong or weak Kong Deming's trump card is, or whether the threat is real or not, what has not yet been used is the most terrifying because it makes it impossible to figure out his details.
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “Well, thank you for the analysis, Great Elder. I now have a general understanding of the situation. The Tianhun Empire will continue to follow the original strategy.”
"Although the alliance has been formed, the other two empires and Shrek Academy are still not reliable, and the details of the Haotian Sect are not very clear."
"We, the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire, can only rely on ourselves."
"It's just that I need to leave the sect for a while and go to the Far North."
"If this trip goes smoothly, within at least three years, our Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire will have the capital to compete with the Sun and Moon Empire."
He had just come out of seclusion and was about to leave again. Hearing this, Jin Peng opened his mouth and wanted to dissuade Huo Yuhao.
The other elders were naturally somewhat hesitant. After all, Huo Yuhao’s talent and potential were too important to the Body Sect.
With the current situation on the mainland so turbulent, Huo Yuhao’s presence is even more important.
Otherwise, if something really happened, once the Tianhun Empire and the Body Sect fell, as long as Huo Yuhao was still alive, he could at least leave a spark for the Body Sect.
But he was immediately stopped by Du Bu Si who was standing by.
"Miscellaneous matters, Lao Jin, you are reliable, but now I am still willing to trust Yuhao's judgment. I believe he has his own plans."
"Yuhao, just go ahead and do it. With your master here in the Tianhun Empire and the Body Sect, the sky won't fall!"
Now that Du Bu Si has made the final decision, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Jin Peng and the other elders can only pray in their hearts that Huo Yuhao will be safe in his next actions.
There was no need for Huo Yuhao to make too much preparation. After all, most of the important things on him were placed in the Undead Demiplane.
All other material possessions were of no importance to him, so he left the main hall of the Body Sect and flew rapidly towards the far north.
He did not use a flying soul guide, as the best seventh-level flying soul guide he had could no longer keep up with his speed.
At his current speed, it would only take half a day to cross half of the continent and reach the core area of the Far North.
At this time, he was contacting Xue Di and Bing Di through the method he had left for them earlier, informing them of his imminent arrival.
Before entering the core area of the Far North, Huo Yuhao saw the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, two other ferocious beasts, and several hundred thousand year old soul beasts waiting for him.
"Why didn't you respond when we contacted you before?" Bingdi looked a little anxious.
Except for the Snow Emperor, other ferocious beasts and soul beasts also had some scars that had not yet healed.
The Snow Queen said more calmly: "My Far North has had some friction with the Ice Sea, and the mermaids have even invited external aid."
"Besides, because the water element was transformed into ice element, it submerged the territory of my Far North, which also provided a fighting environment for those sea soul beasts, so it was a bit troublesome."
Huo Yuhao frowned when he heard this. According to his expectations, although there were many hundred thousand year soul beasts among the sea soul beasts, there were not many strong ones at the ferocious beast level. Logically, they should not cause any trouble to the Far North.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's confusion, Xue Di explained helplessly: "Even among the sea soul beasts, their individual combat power is indeed not enough compared to our Far North."
"But firstly, there are many strong sea soul beasts, and some tribes are more united and good at using combined soul skills. Secondly, because of the direction of the elemental tide, the advantage of the mermaid tribe has greatly increased."
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao said, "Let me go to the Ice Palace first and use the Ice Dragon Spirit to take a closer look."
