Chapter 219 Huo Yuhao: I'm going to start lying.
Chapter 219 Huo Yuhao: I'm going to start lying.
Huo Yuhao's expression was no longer calm as he was caught up in these thoughts, and his expression kept changing.
His brows furrowed and relaxed at times, and his gaze flickered and then froze.
That young face was etched with complexity and confusion.
Upon seeing this, Di Tian assumed that his words had reminded him of something.
So he pressed his advantage and asked, "Where is your friend? I'd like to see him."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao stopped thinking.
He raised his head and looked at Di Tian again, his face much more serious.
Di Tian said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt your friend. I just want to ask about the origin of this reverse scale and find out what really happened."
His tone contained no threat, no coercion, only a sincere request.
He genuinely wanted to know why this reverse scale had ended up in the hands of a human, and why it had recognized a human as its master.
Huo Yuhao suppressed his thoughts; naturally, he couldn't possibly take Di Tian to see Gu Yue.
He couldn't possibly take people on a journey through time.
However, faced with Di Tian's question at this moment, he, who had always decided not to lie as much as possible, now had no choice but to lie.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and then tried to keep his tone calm.
"Gu Yue comes from a reclusive family, and I don't know where she is now."
His gaze was open and his expression calm, as if he were simply stating a fact.
However, Gu Yuena's voice entered Di Tian's mind: "He's lying!"
Huo Yuhao's earlier concerns were correct; no matter how calm he appeared, his lies were still seen through.
However, Di Tian did not directly expose Huo Yuhao's lie.
He didn't press further, but simply nodded and said, "Then when you see your friend again, I hope you can invite her to a gathering at Xingdou."
"We won't let you make a wasted trip; we'll offer you a soul bone as a token of our gratitude."
Hearing Di Tian's words, Huo Yuhao became even more certain of the importance of this "reverse scale".
He then showed just the right amount of excitement on his face, and his voice was filled with anticipation: "Okay, when I see her again, I will definitely invite her here."
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her purple eyes.
Although she didn't know Di Tian's specific thoughts, she believed that Di Tian wouldn't let her down.
With a thought, the silver-white reverse scale in her right palm flew towards Huo Yuhao.
This reverse scale resonated with Huo Yuhao's bloodline and instantly merged into his body.
Feeling that her own Achilles' heel was indeed fused with Huo Yuhao's bloodline, a complex emotion flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes.
At this moment, Di Tian stretched out his right hand, his palm open, revealing a scale the size of an infant's palm.
However, this scale is black, and upon closer inspection, one can see that it has ridges.
The black had a subtle hint of purple.
Di Tian then said, "This is my Achilles' heel. Once you meet your friend and communicate with this Achilles' heel, I will appear directly by your side."
"Of course, if you encounter any danger, you can also contact me through this reverse scale."
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment after hearing this, his gaze falling on the black reverse scale.
He guessed that Di Tian wouldn't give up so easily; there might still be some tricks up his sleeve.
However, given the current situation, he has little room to refuse.
Huo Yuhao made a slash with the tip of his right finger, and a thin bloodstain appeared on his fingertip.
A bright red bead of blood seeped from the wound, and he raised his hand to drip the blood onto the black reverse scale.
Gu Yue had Huo Yuhao do this when they fused with the silver True Dragon's Reverse Scale.
Meanwhile, Di Tian, who was standing to the side, hesitated to speak.
He only gave his reverse scale to Huo Yuhao, but he wasn't prepared to merge his bloodline with Huo Yuhao's!
However, now that things have "progressed" to this point, Di Tian can only acquiesce to this "outcome".
With a thought, the black reverse scale in front of Huo Yuhao transformed into a beam of black light, like a black arrow, piercing into Huo Yuhao's chest and merging into his body.
After everything was completed, Di Tian looked at Huo Yuhao, a complex emotion flashing in his golden vertical pupils. He spoke, his voice calm and brief: "Alright, let's leave."
Gu Yuena couldn't help but ask telepathically, "Are we just going to let him go like that?"
The novel "Douluo: Huo Yuhao's Double Transmigration to the Peerless Dragon King" is full of classic quotes, so come and find resonance.
Di Tian replied, "Even if we press him now, he probably won't tell us."
"However, he will definitely meet with that 'Gu Yue' later. With my taboo on him, if the other party is truly of dragon blood, there will definitely be a reaction."
"In human terms, this is like casting a long line to catch a big fish."
Gu Yuena nodded upon hearing this, a hint of approval flashing in her purple eyes.
Di Tian's actions indeed put her at ease.
Gu Yuena naturally did not stop them, watching Di Tian and Huo Yuhao's figures gradually disappear into the distance.
After they had completely left, Gu Yuena's human form slowly dissipated, transforming once more into a silver dragon, its massive body coiled atop the lotus platform.
Her large purple eyes slowly closed; her injuries would take ten thousand years to heal.
After that, we just need to wait for news from Di Tian.
……
As Huo Yuhao left the Lake of Life, he asked solemnly in his spiritual sea, "Teacher, is there a problem with Di Tian's Reverse Scale?"
Before Electrolux could answer, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm interjected, "Of course there's a problem!"
Having finally gotten a chance to demonstrate its significance, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was naturally unwilling to be outdone.
"After a soul beast's cultivation reaches 100,000 years, it will experience a heavenly tribulation every 100,000 years."
"If you survive, you can live for another 100,000 years; if you don't, you will only face death."
The other spirits around them also looked serious. For them, as spirit beasts, no matter their cultivation level, the Heavenly Tribulation was the greatest threat hanging over their heads.
Those are the shackles of fate, the constraints imposed by heaven and earth on soul beasts, and the shadows they can never escape in their entire lives.
"The power of divine retribution resides on Di Tian's reverse scale."
"With this divine punishment power existing, Yuhao, you will never be able to obtain a godhood."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's gaze darkened slightly.
His ultimate goal has always been to become a god.
Having studied history extensively, he naturally understood the importance of divine status.
If one cannot obtain a divine position, then one can basically not become a god.
Seeing Tianmeng Bingcan's anxious expression, Bingdi sneered, "Yuhao is destined to become a god!"
When she became Huo Yuhao's soul, wasn't her ultimate goal to avoid the heavenly tribulation and seek godhood?
Previously, Di Tian was an incomparable figure in Bing Di's heart.
But now, having witnessed Huo Yuhao's amazing ability to travel between two worlds, Bingdi's confidence in his becoming a god has soared to unprecedented heights.
She then glanced at Electrox, who had remained calm throughout, a hint of expectation flashing in his cold eyes, and said, "It's just Di Tian's Achilles' heel; surely Elder Electrox has a solution?"
Instantly, Huo Yuhao and all the spirits focused their attention on Electrolux.
Electrolux's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter: "There are many ways to deal with the divine punishment power on the Reverse Scale."
Seeing the teacher's gaze, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up instantly.
As if struck by a sudden thought, he blurted out, "Use a magical seal?"
Electrolux smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
A relieved smile appeared on that aged face: "This is the simplest and most practical method. Besides sealing, it can also purify."
His tone was nonchalant, as if the heavenly punishment was nothing more than a speck of dust that could be easily brushed away.
Huo Yuhao's mind was in a jumbled mess before, and he hadn't thought about it in that direction at all.
Now, after the teacher's reminder, he felt enlightened and instantly felt much more relaxed.
At that moment, he noticed that his teacher's expression had turned serious.
The smile faded from that aged face, replaced by a solemn expression.
"Compared to Di Tian, you should pay more attention to his 'master'."
Huo Yuhao's expression also became serious. He asked, "Teacher, did you see something?"
Electrolux shook his head, a complex emotion flashing in his deep eyes: "It's precisely because even I can't see through her that we must value her."
He paused, then took a deep breath: "She... must be a god-level being!"
Upon hearing this, all the souls in the Sea of Spirits trembled.
Huo Yuhao's eyes also flashed with undisguised surprise!
On the Douluo Continent!
In the Starry Sky Forest!
Among the Soul Beast Clan!
There's actually a... deity hidden here?!
