--- Chapter 253 ---
Star Dou Forest.
Beneath the Lake of Life, a massive silver dragon is sleeping soundlessly and recovering from her injuries. However, she was awakened from her deep slumber all of a sudden!
Two slitted purple gem-like eyes opened in the darkness, shining with confusion.
"This feeling..." A gruff female voice escaped the silver dragon's mouth.
"The Extraterrestrial Race's remains are still on the Douluo Planet. I thought we had slaughtered every bit of them?"
The silver dragon gazed into the distance and grumbled, "With my power, I can't even detect the location of the secret realm. Tsk, how pathetic for me, Dragon God, to end up in this state..."
One could feel sheer arrogance from the silver dragon's tone alone.
Left with no choices, the silver dragon could only contact the remaining of her kind on the surface. She commanded the current Darkness Dragon King to search for the Extraterrestrial Race's location at all costs, or else the Douluo Planet would end up just like her.
As much as the silver dragon wanted to meddle personally, she could not let herself get detected by the Gods of the Douluo Divine Realm.
The silver dragon didn't know how much time had passed. Still, she better be cautious than the catch in the crossfire.
On the surface, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon trembled upon hearing the god's order. He had not witnessed the Extraterrestrial Race's invasion, but his mother and father had told a legend about it.
To think the Extraterrestrial Race still exists on this land means the Douluo Planet won't be peaceful from now on.
"A few weeks ago, someone released a strong aura in my territory to provoke me." The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon, Di Tian, huffed angrily.
"Now this..."
"What a bad luck."
"Bi Ji, call every Great Beast in the Star Dou Forest. It's an emergency."
A beautiful swan with an emerald-like feather heard the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon's command and nodded gently, releasing a summoning shout to all corners.
Soon, several gigantic beasts arrived at the heart of Star Dou Forest.
Who would have thought the mere presence of the Extraterrestrial Race would incite so much chaos in the Spirit Beast's faction?
...
Back to the Yin-Yang Plain of Lush Grim.
Huo Yuhao and others faced the Extraterrestrial Race, which has taken dragon form. Most likely because the Dragon Race was the one who eradicated them.
Interestingly, Huo Yuhao found the Extraterrestrial Race was 'actually' made of microscopic insects that could take over biological and non-biological life.
After all, this unique-looking creature before them consists of vines-covered bones, leaves, and some coarse crystals. The crystals are invisible to normal eyes, but that doesn't apply to Huo Yuhao.
"Interesting..." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself.
"Humans, your arrival here will be judged by the God of Forests."
"Prepare for the misery of a trial!"
Xuan Zi and other Title Douluo in the group frowned. They could feel the 'dragon' before them was more powerful than Level 98 Hyper Douluo.
However, they also felt the 'dragon' wasn't enough to fight against them all.
SCREEEEEEEEEECH!!
An ear-piercing sound suddenly echoed all over the plain.
Everyone shivered instinctively and looked up, seeing an ashen eye gazing down at them.
At this moment, they felt a soul-stirring sensation all over their entire being.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Child's Play."
[30% Haoshoku Haki]
BOOM!
A similarly powerful Spiritual Pressure is released by Huo Yuhao, causing two opposing forces to explode on sight. A dim ashen and heavenly blue light clashed, creating this spectacular spark.
Although the heavenly blue light is smaller, it could contend against the dim ashen light without much problem.
Everyone gasped for air, watching Huo Yuhao in awe and horror.
"W-What was that?" Xu Sanshi was the one to open his mouth.
Bei Bei coughed profusely and whispered, "Haki. The Supreme Technique of the Dragon Nest. To think it would be effective against that monster..."
"Yuhao is our key to getting out of this place."
Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo gazed at Huo Yuhao solemnly. Mu En has ordered them to follow Huo Yuhao's order if an emergency scenario happened on the way.
They are skeptical because Mu En didn't reveal his spar with Huo Yuhao a few weeks ago. Still, they didn't expect the 'bad' thing to happen this sudden.
"Yuhao, what should we do?" Xuan Zi cast his pride aside and asked Huo Yuhao for help.
'Seriously, you asked me for help?' Huo Yuhao stared at him silently. Still, Mu En must have ordered Xuan Zi to do something like this.
He glanced at the ashen-colored eye on the sky and replied, "Okay, listen up."
"Hold them off for five minutes."
"Them?" Everyone was stunned on the spot.
As if responding to Huo Yuhao's statement earlier, the surrounding area shook violently, and several Extraterrestrial Races burst out. They have mimicked other planetary creatures, such as variations of Spirit Beasts and humans.
Huo Yuhao smiled and commented, "Don't worry, they might look strong, but they also have glaring weaknesses."
"Don't you feel it already? Their lack of Spirit Energy?"
Everyone's eyes widened in realization because he was right. They couldn't feel a drop of Spirit Energy from these Extraterrestrial Beasts. Even the first Extraterrestrial Dragon that greeted them earlier only mimicked the might of a dragon to scare them off.
"Attack their bodies with high-intensity energy, and you should be able to deal with them."
"Lastly..."
"This is a trial ground." Huo Yuhao raised his index finger. "So, someone must have controlled it from behind, whether it was a spirit or another Extraterrestrial Beast. Give me five minutes, and I will find the person behind this."
"Are you sure five minutes is enough?" The other Title Douluo sent by the Shrek Academy asked.
Huo Yuhao raised his brow and laughed the question off, "Haha, who do you think I am?"
"Just focus on your part." Truthfully, Huo Yuhao could find the one behind this trial in the blink of an eye.
But he thought the Shrek Seven Devils(they have eight members now because of the butterfly effect), Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan might need to experience more hardship.
(AN: Luo Xing is actually a reserved member of Shrek Seven Devils)
Simply put, he wanted to see how far these people could go. In the 'original' story, they couldn't even ascend to Godhood, unlike other Protagonist's friends in the series.
After saying that, Huo Yuhao activated the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and shared his Spiritual Vision with everyone. Gasps escaped their mouths because they could see things from Huo Yuhao's perspective now, seeing everything in fine detail.
With this, they could freely move without worrying about their backs.
Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo shut their mouths.
'This is such a godly ability. It's not as simple as viewing things in better light because I could even see the flow of Spirit Energy in the atmosphere.' Xuan Zi sucked a cold breath.
'As if God has given them his vision.' This line is how Xuan Zi would describe Huo Yuhao's ability.
Huo Yuhao hasn't finished and even added 10% Observation Haki into the mix, making the things they see slower. It should allow them to find the weak spots on these Extraterrestrial Beasts.
"Go!" Huo Yuhao closed his eyes.
Zhang Lexuan was the first to move as she shot from the ground and summoned her new Martial Soul, Heart's Arrow. However, she didn't use this martial soul as intended and wielded it like a spear.
Ma Xiaotao also flew forward, erupting with Hellish Phoenix Flame.
Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo glanced at each other before nodding their heads. They will act like guardians and deal with the Extraterrestrial Beast that exceeds the students' levels.
Bei Bei scanned the battlefield and shouted, "Iron Back Formation!"
Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao walked forward, summoning their Martial Souls.
Bei Bei stood in the middle with Tang Ya and Wang Dong.
The back lines are Hei Caitou and Luo Xing, using their Spirit Guidance Tools as long-ranged weapons.
Huo Yuhao watched this with a smile, "This will be a good five minutes."
