Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, two deafening roars echoed through the heavens.
Upon
closer listening, the sounds seemed to originate from the earth itself. The roars carried immense pressure, instantly turning Song Ming's face incredibly grim.
What kind of monster was this? A single roar had rendered this Title Douluo so helpless.
The earth shook, and waves surged within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells, as if some terrifying creature was wreaking havoc.
Song Ming stared intently at the red and white spring water, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead.
Splash!
Water splashed everywhere as two colossal creatures leaped from the Yang Spring and the Han Spring, creating towering columns of water. At the same time, the raging ice and fire energy intensified its rampage in the surrounding area.
Song Ming was horrified; the creatures in the spring water were actually two true dragons.
The two dragons roared and howled at Song Ming and Ye Lingling, their eyes filled with boundless bloodlust, slaughter, and savagery, sending chills down one's spine.
Just then, light flashed around Ye Lingling, and Huo Yuhao's figure appeared.
Of course, this wasn't his true form, but a pre-arranged method for Ye Lingling's trip.
Huo Yuhao appeared, staring at the Ice and Fire Dragons, finding that aside from their intimidating presence, they were unremarkable. Their current strength was merely that of a Title Douluo, and they had lost their minds, becoming like vengeful ghosts. The
Ice and Fire Dragon King had perished in the Dragon God War, killed by a human god, which explained their violent reaction upon sensing Huo Yuhao's aura as a human god.
With a slight raise of his hand, Huo Yuhao intended to completely annihilate these two remnant souls, but he quickly abandoned the idea.
Because there was someone more suitable to handle this matter.
Ripples spread through the space as Gu Yuena, clad in a long silver dress, descended upon the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Her gaze fixed on the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, her eyes filled with sorrow.
The two dragons, who had previously seemed utterly ruthless, became surprisingly calm upon Gu Yuena's arrival. They approached her, howling and snarling around her.
This wasn't because they had regained their senses, but rather because a deep-seated bloodline made them feel close.
"Could you create a body for them?" Gu Yuena gently stroked the Ice and Fire Dragon King's large nose, her question directed at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, saying, "It's pointless. They've already lost their minds; they're merely clinging to life."
However, this reminded Huo Yuhao of a thought, reminding him of Dragon Valley. Weren't there souls whose minds hadn't been lost? Those beings were powerful in life; even if they couldn't quickly become gods after resurrection, they would still be stronger than ordinary ferocious beasts.
The words were somewhat harsh, but Gu Yuena knew it was the truth. In the end, she could only sigh, and with Gu Yuena's comforting words, the Ice and Fire Dragon King returned to the depths of the earth.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao transformed into a stream of light and returned to Ye Lingling's body, leaving the remaining trivial matters to the two of them.
After some persuasion from Ye Lingling, and by releasing the Life Flame at the opportune moment, she abducted the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb and the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass.
Of course, this wasn't to have them sacrificed as soul rings for Ye Lingling; the two immortal herbs, under the transformation of the power of creation, transformed into human form.
After transforming into human form, the Eight-Cornered and Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb could move freely, no longer troubled by the plants. Of course, their bloodline remained that of immortal herbs, that remained unchanged.
These immortal herbs possessed cultivation comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but lacked combat skills. If they were taught some combat techniques, they would be equivalent to two Title Douluo in strength.
Huo Yuhao's move was also a calculated one, as the Flame of Life was quite attractive to these immortal herbs, and Ye Lingling's ability to subdue them was a pleasant surprise.
However, the most important thing on this trip was the seeds—the seeds of the immortal herbs and other precious medicinal herbs. With seeds, Ye Lingling could quickly cultivate a large number of herbs, the benefits of which were self-evident.
Faced with Ye Lingling's request, the immortal herbs were quite displeased, but under Song Ming's sinister gaze, they fully demonstrated what it meant to be pragmatic.
Gu Yuena, who witnessed the whole process, was slightly speechless, especially Ye Lingling's attempt to abduct the immortal herbs—did she think she, the ruler of all soul beasts, didn't exist?
For some reason, Gu Yuena ultimately refrained from uttering any objections, remaining indifferent as if it were none of her business.
Nearly a month later, the Heavenly Court had firmly established itself on the grasslands. Its vanguard delegation had established diplomatic relations with various grassland tribes and begun contacting the four regions beyond the grasslands.
During this time, Huo Yuhao was also busy. Through the deduction of the Evolution Array and numerous journeys through the Endless Seas,
Huo Yuhao located the precise location of the second continent and had personally gathered some information.
That continent was called the Holy Martial Continent, named after the reign title of the founding emperor of the current unified empire on the continent.
The Great Liang Empire was the empire that ruled the Holy Martial Continent.
Upon learning that the continent had been unified by the Liang Kingdom, Huo Yuhao initially felt some trouble. This meant that the Heavenly Court's intervention might be constrained by the Liang royal family; how could the emperor allow an uncontrolled force to emerge?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao hoped for a multi-nation system, with each nation competing and suppressing the others, allowing the Heavenly Court to maneuver effectively.
Yes, he could force the Liang royal family to submit with a strong stance, but what if they sabotaged him from behind? That would be disgusting.
However, this concern quickly disappeared because Huo Yuhao learned that Liang practiced a feudal system, with more than thirty large and small vassal states under the central court.
Huo Yuhao smiled; this made things simpler. He decided to speed things up and implement a two-pronged approach.
First, Huo Yuhao mobilized all four newly joined Title Douluos to the Holy Martial Continent, along with three Title Douluos from the Qian Gu family, including Qian Gu Liming, and Jing Hongchen.
It's worth mentioning that Le Qingtian also sent four Title Douluos and six Soul Douluos. It's unclear whether the old man had come to his senses.
Le Qingtian's words sounded very nice, claiming he was willing to be under the control of the Heavenly Court and obey its orders.
Perhaps Le Qingtian sent them to spread his teachings and promote the virtues of the Angel God.
But Huo Yuhao didn't care; no matter how good the spiritual nourishment, nothing beats tangible benefits.
Besides, proselytizing isn't easy; not everyone is a professional cult leader like those at Shrek Academy.
Meanwhile, things were thriving on the Holy Martial Continent, with the Heavenly Court moving effortlessly between the various vassal states.
This quickly attracted the attention of the central court, and the Emperor of Liang wanted to subjugate the Heavenly Court.
First, he offered amnesty; when that failed, he sent palace experts to capture the Heavenly Court members.
Then, Huo Yuhao personally descended upon the Liang palace, demonstrating his divine power.
After flexing his muscles, Huo Yuhao sat down with the Emperor of Liang to calmly discuss cooperation. Since he had no intention of overthrowing Liang, cooperation was a possibility.
Ultimately, they reached an agreement, Huo Yuhao and the Emperor cooperated, and the Heavenly Court transformed into an official entity, with branches springing up everywhere, and signs of Heavenly Court activity visible in major cities.
It's worth noting that the development of soul tools was extremely backward on both the Five Regions and the Holy Martial Continent.
The Heavenly Court discovered several rare metal veins and harvested large quantities of rare metals through mining.
Afterwards, Jing Hongchen established connections and set up trade with the Sun Moon Empire, selling rare metals.
This finally alleviated the Heavenly Court's strained finances.
