--- Chapter 224 ---

Now that Ma Xiaotao had obtained her sixth spirit ring, everyone was ready to return. 

Huo Yuhao bantered with Tang Ya briefly as the latter questioned him about the change in Ma Xiaotao.

Well, Ma Xiaotao's beauty was upgraded by three levels, at least after absorbing the Phenex Clan's bloodline. No matter how restrained they are, ladies such as Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and even Princess are curious about how it could happen.

To answer their question, Huo Yuhao casually answered them, "Senior Ma's transformation is a mutation of her Martial Soul. You guys can't replicate with the same resources." 

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya are puzzled, but no Xu Jiujiu.

Princess Xu caught the meaning behind 'same resources' in Huo Yuhao's lines, meaning she could do the same result with similar material.

Unfortunately, Princess Xu realized how rare Star-Based Resources are for her martial soul. She could only sigh in helplessness.

Ma Xiaotao examined her changes, twirling her alluring body left and right.

Although Xu Sanshi is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will, it's still hard for him not to peek.

"Hmph, Scoundrel..." Jiang Nannan walked away.

"W-Wait, Nannan. It was a mistake." Xu Sanshi followed the blonde-haired lady hurriedly.

Bei Bei shook his head gently at his fellow sect member, "I don't know how Dean San will react to Senior Ma's transformation." 

"He will be shocked." Tang Ya playfully winked at Bei Bei, making the latter chuckle.

Wang Dong squinted her eyes and stared at Ma Xiaotao's spirit rings. The spirit mark's pattern change intrigued her as she could feel a secret behind it.

However, Wang Dong doesn't recognize this pattern.

Of course, she wouldn't recognize it because it was the Phenex Clan's crest.

Huo Yuhao clapped his hands, "Okay, let's pack things up." 

"Princess Xu, we will escort you out of the Star Dou Forest. You don't have any problem with that, right?" 

"I'll be thankful." Xu Jiujiu smiled brightly at Huo Yuhao. 

She also wished Huo Yuhao not to leave her side but knew such a thing was impossible.

Even though Xu Jiujiu is the 'youngest princess' of the Star Luo Empire, Huo Yuhao is the personal disciple of Dragon Nest's Leader. Their status is too different apart.

Noble status meant nothing before ultimate power. After the recent incident, Xu Jiujiu realized this the most. 

'To catch him up, I must become stronger.' Xu Jiujiu secretly vowed in her heart, unknown that Huo Yuhao could hear her thoughts passively.

The Voice of All Things is a frightening ability. Well, only a few people could ever use it.

Everyone is packing things, and Huo Yuhao walks to the Three-Headed Giant Eagle's corpse. 

He acted casually, pulling a spirit bone out and storing it inside his inventory. It was so quick, so no one noticed it.

Throwing the corpse into his inventory, Huo Yuhao stretched and checked his wristwatch. Huo Yun'er and others are still shopping in the Dragon Nest's main base.

The time difference really hit, huh?

Huo Yuhao stayed in his clone for almost a day, but only a few hours passed in the Dragon Nest's main base.

The power of Primordial Rune really comes in handy. One might think this was a disadvantage, but the quality of spirit energy in the Dragon Nest's main base is many times higher than outside.

To keep the purity of spirit energy high. Time and space are regulated strictly.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

A tremor suddenly hit them three times.

Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to the west and saw a massive ape charging at their location. 

"Heavenly Blood Giant Ape..." One of the bodyguards from Xu Jiujiu's group uttered in horror. 

"It's over 90,000 years old." 

"We are done for!" 

"Run, everyone!" 

However, the Shrek Group didn't move an inch.

They stared at Huo Yuhao and waited for his advice. Even the captain, Bei Bei, waited for Huo Yuhao to open his mouth.

"Over 90,000 years old... That's not very high." Huo Yuhao commented nonchalantly.

"..." Yu Xing.

"..." Wang Dong.

"..." Everyone.

Did you hear yourself?

Hello, are we living in the same world?

Huo Yuhao maintained a laid-back posture and kept his hands inside his pants' pockets.

He stared at the incoming giant and said, "Kinda cute looking, not gonna lie." 

"Be serious!" Wang Do shouted at him.

"Chill, dude. Everything will be fine." Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "I'll show you something interesting." 

"Wanna see?" 

Wang Dong's mouth twitched in disbelief, but she still nodded at Huo Yuhao's proposal.

Huo Yuhao's lips curved into a smirk as an invincible momentum surged from his body.

"Open your eyes well." 

"And feel it with your body." 

"What I'm going to show is one of our three ultimate techniques." 

"Color of the Supreme King!" Huo Yuhao released his Conqueror's Haki and made the air tremble.

An azure-colored light broke through the atmosphere and radiated continuously. 

Everyone staggered on the spot, with the weaker ones on their knees already.

Princess Xu and her companions have a hard time breathing.

Meanwhile, the Shrek Group isn't any better. Only Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong are still standing. That's still a difficult situation as their faces are red like tomatoes.

Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao could stand up because of their training with Scathach's clone all this time.

As for Wang Dong, she's the daughter of the Sea God. She has some protection against mental-type ability. A golden trident mark currently appeared on her forehead.

On the other hand, the so-called Heavenly Blood Giant Ape froze on the spot and let out a painful groan, falling to the ground heavily. The Color of the Supreme King still spread over the Star Dou Forest and caused over a hundred thousand spirit beasts to faint.

Star Dou Forest, Core Area.

An enormous dragon whose size couldn't be distinguished shimmered amidst the dark clouds. Its entire body was 'thoroughly' covered with pitch-black scales, but it shone with dark purple colors within those dark clouds. It's more than 3 kilometers in length.

The dragon opened its eyes, revealing a pair of vertical-slit golden eyes.

"Who is there?!" The dragon roared to the sky furiously. 

The whole Star Dou Forest trembled upon its anger.

The ground shook, and the thunderclouds began to appear.

Far, far away. 

Huo Yuhao chuckled at the dragon's furious reaction and responded telepathically, "Unfortunately, I have no intention of meeting you at the moment, Di Tian." 

"There will be more opportunities in the future." 

Huo Yuhao only leaked about 5% of his true Conqueror's Haki, but it was enough to provoke the Strongest Spirit Beast in the Douluo Continent. 

Di Tian is the legendary Golden-Eyed Darkness Dragon King. He's over 820,000 years old and the remaining True Darkness Dragon King.

Di Tiang's strength remained at its peak in this era, but weirdly, when Tang San and his friends ascended to the Divine Realm, he didn't appear nor comment on it.

Maybe it is because of the Silver Dragon King, who currently sleeps under the Star Dou Forest's core.

Di Tian doesn't want the Gods of the Divine Realm to pay attention to him and finds out that the other half of the Dragon God is hiding here.

'Well, my target isn't Silver Dragon King.' Huo Yuhao thought at the top of his head.

He turned around and said, "Everyone, let's get out of this place." 

"The Star Dou Forest will be dangerous for the next three months." 

"Eh?" They were speechless.

In the end, they swiftly left the area before a strong spirit beast came and found them.

"Yuhao, that technique of yours..." Princess Xu leaned to his side.

Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Sorry, Princess. It's a secret." 

"I thought so..." Xu Jiujiu lowered her head. "That kind of pressure mimicked the presence of a 100,000 years old spirit beast or even more."

"Such a terrifying move." 

Huo Yuhao smiled and didn't respond further about the Conqueror's Haki.

After running for a few hours, they finally escaped the Star Dou Forest. 

To be safe, they even traveled several more kilometers.

...

Dragon Nest's main base.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and yawned, "I've found the target's location." 

"Hmm, let's see if Tang San was still doing shady things..." 

"If the plot didn't change much, Tang San would still seal the other half of his daughter's power on an innocent spirit beast."

"Oh, Tang Yan. You and your self-created mess." 

"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I'm coming for you." Huo Yuhao stood up and teleported to the Star Dou Forest. He'd not miss such a brilliant opportunity to suppress Tang San.
