"You are not some divine inheritor. You are a first class god of the divine realm, the Fire God Reincarnated."
Er Ming's earth shattering words were like thunder exploding over the battlefield, shaking everyone's minds.
The Fire God Reincarnated? A first class god? That young man named Huo Yuhao?
Countless incredulous gazes simultaneously focused on Huo Yuhao, as if re examining this young man.
But at the same time, a glimmer of understanding appeared in their hearts.
No wonder Huo Yuhao's strength was so formidable. So his past life was a deity. That explained his strength and rate of improvement.
As for not believing it?
Not only was this the only way to explain Huo Yuhao's situation, but this was also a true god's certification of a deity's reincarnation. Could it be false?
Could a true god be mistaken?
Compared to the shocked and enlightened crowd outside, the spirit souls in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit were silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yuhao is the Fire God? Spirit Ice Douluo is actually the Fire God? Ha ha, he is a genius."
Skydream laughed like a worm.
"I can understand his reasoning."
A smile also appeared at the corner of Ice Empress's mouth. "With divine fire, divine consciousness, and a fire god divine weapon, who else could it be but the Fire God?"
The three immortal herbs nodded in succession.
As for Huo Yuhao himself, how to put it, he had actually anticipated this situation, but not through Er Ming's mouth. He had been prepared to let knowledgeable Limit Douluo fill in the gaps themselves, helping to cover for him.
But looking at it from another angle, it was understandable that Er Ming would come to such a conclusion.
Da Ming and Er Ming had come to the Douluo Continent too early. And the timeline of Tang Hao and A Yin's arrival on the Douluo Continent had multiple versions in Huo Yuhao's memory. One was that they came down together with Tang Wulin, as they themselves had said. Another was that they were farming on the Douluo Continent when Tang San informed them that the divine realm had been taken away by spacetime turbulence.
However, according to what the plane consciousness had said, Tang Hao and the others did not know that the Sea God's divine seat was gone, which suggested they had also been on the Douluo Continent for a long time.
It could be said that these four were largely in the dark about the divine realm's situation. To obtain information, they could only rely on the divine consciousnesses that had descended from the divine realm. But those divine consciousnesses, facing the crippled Old Gold or fleeing, would they know who had escaped and what had happened after they left?
Apparently not.
Unless they had seen the Fire God's divine consciousness, not knowing the specific situation of the divine realm, it was not surprising that they would misunderstand someone in his situation.
Nevertheless, Huo Yuhao was still surprised. He was surprised that Er Ming was so certain he was the Fire God, and that he had directly announced it publicly, confirming it on the spot.
Was this not World shaking Wisdom?
But it was fine. An identity shocking enough and able to reasonably explain some anomalies was sometimes a necessary protective coloration. It could save countless troubles and become a great asset to him.
However, this title of "Fire God" would probably make some who knew his situation laugh and cry.
Huo Yuhao's thoughts raced. He did not correct Er Ming, nor did he make any response to the crowd's shock and realization below.
He simply poured all his spirit power into the Tian Fen Shen Chu in his hand, which was burning with the Crimson Gold Mysterious Flame and represented the "Fire God's" majesty.
His thrusting motion became even more fierce.
But silence was sometimes the best answer.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression unchanged, Er Ming became even more certain of his guess and dared not underestimate this strike. He pushed the divine power augmented by the small plane to its limit.
He mobilized all his strength, threw both fists forward, and concentrated all his blood and qi into incomparably terrifying fist power, striking left and right, clamping down on Huo Yuhao and the Tian Fen Shen Chu with the brute force to shatter the void.
Titan Divine Fist.
This was a self created technique he had perfected through the power generation method of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique. No matter what technique he faced, he would break it with a single punch, pursuing the principle of overwhelming skill with raw power.
"Boom."
When the fist and spear collided, an indescribably terrifying roar erupted.
Centered on the point of contact between the fist and spear, an annihilation light ball, half gold and half crimson, over a hundred meters in diameter, instantly expanded. Inside the light ball, the space was filled with violent energy currents, shattered space fragments, and material particles instantly vaporized.
The violent shockwave spread out
ward in a perfect sphere. Both Federation and Shrek experts, seeing this, retreated in horror to a greater distance.
And at the center of that annihilation.
Er Ming was blasted dozens of meters back by the explosion, maintaining his double fist thrusting posture, but his massive body was violently trembling. At the point where the back of his right hand had contacted the spear tip, a clear, scorched black hollow mark appeared. Tendrils of crimson gold flame clung to it like bone attached maggots, persistently burning and eroding.
"This divine fire's effect is to return all things to their origin?"
Remembering the crimson gold divine fire contained in that strike, which had rapidly decomposed the spirit power and blood and qi attached to his fist, Er Ming frowned in pain.
His right hand was temporarily unable to exert force. Divine fire was still preventing its recovery. The crimson gold flame was turning the power he used to repair into heavenly and earthly energy. It was terrifying.
"If my attacks had not focused on pure power, on physical strength, I might not even have been able to withstand that strike."
Er Ming Ningmei looked at the other side. Unable to withstand his power, Huo Yuhao was also forced back. Then his eyes suddenly widened.
Wait. Behind him was.
Long Yuye stared blankly as Huo Yuhao approached her direction. Her expression changed drastically.
Huo Yuhao had been coming for her all along. Had his target been her from the very beginning?
Why? What did she have that a deity would care about?
Regardless, she could not just surrender.
Long Yuye transformed into her Sacred Dragon true body. A light and dark vortex appeared in her right dragon claw, trying to block Huo Yuhao. But when she met his eyes, her mind shook violently.
Powerful spiritual power made her momentarily dazed. Her Sea of Spirit throbbed painfully.
This was the Divine Origin realm.
Realizing this, Long Yuye's heart was bitter.
Yes. Since he was a deity, it was only natural to have such spiritual power.
The moment her mind was lost, Huo Yuhao's body, flying backward, had already closed in.
Using the recoil from his collision with Er Ming, Huo Yuhao twisted his body in midair. His right leg, like a whip, carrying a condensed power of Extreme Fire and the recoil force, solidly kicked Long Yuye's barely raised dragon claw.
"Bang."
The Sacred Dragon true body let out a mournful cry. Long Yuye was directly kicked flying backward.
"Boom."
Long Yuye, like a meteor falling into a lake, crashed heavily into Sea God Lake. The lake water explosively shot up a column of water.
And before that, spatial power surged. A blue glowing object had already fallen into Huo Yuhao's palm at some point.
The Vast Sea Universe Cover.
"I was scared by him." Seeing Huo Yuhao's actions, Er Ming's expression was ugly.
Huo Yuhao's earlier words had made him think the other party wanted to charge into their small plane, start a divine battle inside, and destroy the small plane, ruining their foundation.
He had not expected that his target had been the Vast Sea Universe Cover on Long Yuye all along. His attention had been completely on the passage behind him, and he had been unable to react in time.
"Lord Fire God, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Er Ming stepped forward. Although his expression was ugly, it was clear he was trying hard to suppress his feelings.
His contact with the Tian Fen Shen Chu just now had made him even more certain that he had seen a similar aura on the Fire God in the divine realm, further confirming that Huo Yuhao was the Fire God. (The divine seat inheritance system meant that the auras of successive deities were generally similar. Not to mention, if the predecessor was generous, the successor could even obtain the predecessor's divine weapon.)
Although Huo Yuhao's behavior did not match the rumors of the Fire God's hot temper, Er Ming had never interacted with the Fire God and did not know his personality.
And facing a first class god of the divine realm, not knowing the other party's state, Er Ming did not want to be Hardheaded and provoke him.
"The Sea God has always been close to the Light God and the Water God. As one of the seven elemental gods, you share the same breath and branch with them. Why are you acting against us and taking the divine weapon the Sea God left on the Douluo Continent?"
Speaking of the Sea God Tang San's social circle in the divine realm, besides the group he had brought up, one had to mention these four heavyweights.
The God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the Light God, and the Water God.
The God of Destruction Zhou Weiqing had almost obtained the Asura God's inheritance in the mortal realm, but he had refused it. Later, when he was about to die, he constantly hoped Tang San would pull him out. In the end, he was discovered by the God of Destruction under the God of Destruction and given the divine inheritance.
But the unobtainable became the unattainable love. Zhou Weiqing basically became a diehard fan of Tang San, betraying the God of Destruction at a critical moment in the Divine Realm War.
The Goddess of Life, the classic example of an elbow bent outward, helping outsiders scheme against her own husband, needed no further elaboration.
The Light God and the Water God were respectively the wives of the Dark God and the Fire God. The former's relationship with the Sea God was unclear. The Water God, because the Sea God had become a God King, had brought benefits to the water lineage of deities, giving them unprecedented respect. So she quite admired the Sea God Tang San.
And by befriending these two, the relationship between the seven elemental gods, who shared the same breath and branch, and the Sea God naturally was not bad.
(The above mostly comes from the Divine Realm Legends.)
One could only say that during his years in the divine realm, the Sea God had not neglected the various aristocratic social skills he had learned from Tang Yuehua. He had lived quite thrivingly.
And in Er Ming's view, with this relationship, the Fire God should not be an enemy of those connected to Tang San.
What you are talking about is the Fire God of the seven elemental gods. What does that have to do with me, Spirit Ice Huo Yuhao?
Speed cutting off.
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao looked up and stared at Er Ming. His gaze seemed to pierce through Er Ming's skin, looking directly into the depths of his soul with cold scrutiny. Even Er Ming, an existence at the true god level, felt a chill run down his spine under that gaze, a coldness creeping up his vertebrae.
However, Huo Yuhao's gaze did not linger on him for long. He just frowned slightly, as if sensing something, then turned his gaze toward Sea God Lake in the distance.
He felt a surge of life force rapidly rising from the direction of the Golden Tree.
A Yin was acting so quickly?
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed. He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at Er Ming again. His voice was calm, but carried an unquestionable tone.
"Titan Giant Ape, instead of worrying about these things, go check on your brother. As for the remaining people of Shrek."
Huo Yuhao gave a final glance at the ashen faced Shrek remnants below. His voice was cold. "Their life or death has nothing to do with you. If you reach out again, I do not mind keeping you here forever."
He definitely knew my identity. He must be a deity. Only a deity would know that my brother and I were resurrected by Tang San in the divine realm.
Er Ming's heart turned cold upon hearing this. Then he finally registered Huo Yuhao's meaning and abruptly looked toward the Golden Tree.
There, blizzard, life force, violent elements, blood and qi, and spirit power intertwined, making the scene there temporarily unreadable even for a Limit Douluo.
"Has something happened to me brother?"
Er Ming's expression condensed. He instinctively glanced at the Shrek teachers and students who were casting pleading gazes toward him.
Were these people more important than his brother?
Of course his brother was more important.
What Shrek teachers and students? He did not know them.
He gritted his teeth, no longer looking at the desperate eyes of those Shrek teachers and students, and walked back into his small plane.
He wanted to use planar power again to open a passage toward the Golden Tree. Leaving the plane's protection to go to the Golden Tree was simply undesirable. With planar power augmenting him, he could fight the Fire God. Without planar power, if the Fire God decided to kill him, he could only wait for death.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. He turned to Yu Guanzhi, Dong Zi'an, and the Federation experts, who had complex expressions, and said, "I leave the rest to you."
"Rest assured. The Federation will handle the rest properly."
Yu Guanzhi stepped forward and solemnly clasped his fists. His demeanor now already regarded Huo Yuhao as an transcendent being.
Not to mention his identity as a deity reincarnated, just the strength Huo Yuhao had just displayed was enough to earn his respect.
Dong Zi'an also bowed extremely solemnly, saying in a deep voice, "If not for your help earlier, I, Dong Zi'an, would probably have returned to heaven and earth by now. I will never forget your lifesaving grace. Thank you."
"No need. It was nothing."
Huo Yuhao shook his head. Under the respectful gazes of the Federation experts, he turned and disappeared into the void. At the same time, he sent a telepathic message to Snow Empress's divine consciousness in his Sea of Spirit. "How is the situation?"
On the surface, only six Limit Douluo had come to this battle. But there were more secret observers. Snow Empress had also come and was watching the Golden Tree for him.
Snow Empress's divine consciousness closed her eyes. After a moment, she frowned and answered, "I followed your instructions and did not directly attack the Golden Tree, so as not to alert the existence inside. But when the Azure Bull Python opened the planar passage and arrived, wanting to take it away directly, I had no choice but to dig out the Golden Tree."
"After that, the Azure Bull Python, in order to take the Golden Tree from me, was forced to leave the planar passage. But without planar power, trying to take the Golden Tree from me was like Wishful Thinking."
"Perhaps sensing the threat, or simply not wanting to be taken away by me. Seeing this, the Golden Tree began to display its own power and broke free from my control. At this point, Chen Xinjie, Bear Lord, and Gu Yuena, having sensed the change here, also arrived. Chen Xinjie only glanced this way before heading toward your direction. Now, Bear Lord and Gu Yuena are helping me fight the Azure Bull Python and the Golden Tree."
"However, Gu Yuena and the Golden Tree both have concerns now and are not going all out. As for Bear Lord."
Snow Empress did not finish. Because Huo Yuhao had already arrived at the battlefield and saw Bear Lord's condition.
Old Bear had suffered.
Although he had Near Divine combat power, participating in a battle of this level was clearly still not enough. Without planar power augmenting him, Da Ming could still suppress him. Fortunately, Gu Yuena was watching, so there were no major problems. He was just black and blue.
As for the Golden Tree.
Huo Yuhao looked at this huge tree, radiating vast life force and natural power. It seemed he could see a beautiful woman through the Golden Tree.
"A Yin."
Huo Yuhao's gaze condensed.
In this battle, the greatest variable was not Yun Ming, Da Ming, or Er Ming, who had each reached the divine officer level through various means, but A Yin.
After all, unlike them, who were only divine officers, A Yin within the Golden Tree was definitely not just at the divine officer level. A Yin had been able to rapidly devour all the Abyss energy after the Abyss Saint Lord's death. Her strength was certainly above the third class god level.
Huo Yuhao's arrival disturbed the fighters, causing them to temporarily separate.
Da Ming was the first to notice the disappearance of Er Ming's aura. Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared from the direction of Sea God Island, his eyes turned cold, his voice low like muffled thunder. "What did you do to Er Ming?"
Er Ming's aura had suddenly disappeared. And after that, Huo Yuhao, who also had an astonishing aura, had come from that direction. It was clearly impossible that there was no connection.
"Big brother, I am fine. Also, he is the Fire God. He is the reincarnation of the divine realm's first class god Fire God."
Huo Yuhao did not respond. But Er Ming's voice, carrying urgency, frustration, and a hint of shock, crossed space and exploded in everyone's ears.
Afraid his big brother had not heard clearly, Er Ming said the word "Fire God" twice.
Da Ming said, "?"
Bear Lord, who had been rubbing his hands together, ready to fight again, (with a still bruised face), said, "Huh?"
Spirit Ice was the Fire God? A person who played with ice, and you said he was the Fire God?
Were you kidding him?
Gu Yuena, who had maintained a cool expression, also showed a flicker of barely perceptible astonishment in her eyes. But she thought it might be one of Huo Yuhao's schemes. She quickly suppressed it and prepared to cooperate well.
As for Snow Empress, she had known long ago and was secretly amused.
Huo Yuhao said, "..."
Shock. Happening Twice. The rumor of the Fire God's reincarnation was likely experiencing a Human to Human Transmission phenomenon.
