"Resonate with the spirit of the sea, whispering the old name of ebony."
"Tasting the blood of ancestors, once again. Here I am, praying for myself and my relatives."
"Oh, earthly spirit. Grant me your protection and everlasting warmth in this very darkness."
Huo Yuhao read the chapter on the Obsidian Sea and closed his eyes with a sense of profoundness. Although it was just the introduction, the book contained the faint rules of the fallen Primordial Lord. Each word written didn't only contain majesty but also a deep intention.
"Haha, how interesting." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, revealing brilliant blue eyes with countless white specks. Those star-like specks shine because he has discovered a new wonder in this mundane world.
Before going to the Tiny World, Huo Yuhao obtained an Old and Worn Journal from the 1st Techno Archon's Wife, which contained not only superb "Great Unification Formula" that could combine the force of gravity, weak nuclear, strong nuclear, and electromagnetic.
That formula alone changed Huo Yuhao's perspective on science and technology, and there are other absurd formulas in the Old and Worn Journal.
However, the Obsidian's Sea Chapter and two others allowed him to see further into the Great Omniversal Order.
"Obsidian's Sea Chapter mainly revolved around Faith in Protection, using the law of Space, Water, and Molding. My eyes could see through the first two laws, but the law of Molding?"
"This is new."
Meanwhile, Zoey curved her lips in the void because Huo Yuhao's talents didn't disappoint her. "You might have seen through the essential laws for Obsidian's Sea, but..."
"It's not that easy to learn about the Obsidian's Sea."
"In the lower dimension, fusing two laws of the universe is already hard, especially when top-tier laws like space and time came into the equation, but the basic level of Obsidian's Sea needed three laws integrated while comprehending the Primordial Lord's latent power."
"Ah, how nice to be ignorant..." Zoey recalled her good old days in her home universe.
Unbeknownst to Zoey, Huo Yuhao had already mastered a 'mere' fusion of laws long ago. After all, his Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao also serve as cheat codes.
The Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao are the pinnacle evolution of Spirit Eyes. The base ability alone lets Huo Yuhao mimic God's image, which means their techniques, laws, and origins are like open books to him.
At the peak, the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao allowed Huo Yuhao to access eight "major" daos, including Samsara and Destiny Dao.
What is Heavenly Dao?
The Heavenly Dao is the universe's natural order, also known as the "Way of Heaven." It represents the cosmic laws that govern existence and encourage harmony with nature's flow. The Heavenly Dao signifies ultimate reality and offers a path to spiritual enlightenment through alignment with this order.
It's literally the peak of cultivation!
If the Douluo Dalu World weren't a lower dimension than other cultivation worlds, Huo Yuhao's strength would have increased dramatically after obtaining the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao.
Complemented with a new source of cultivation, Huo Yuhao was bound to rise rapidly again. His eyes had already analyzed the Obsidian's Sea Chapter, so it was just a matter of time for him.
A week?
No, a month.
Huo Yuhao was confident he could learn one chapter a month if he focused wholeheartedly on the Obsidian Sacred Heritage.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do so.
After learning Obsidian's Sea Chapter for an hour, Huo Yuhao stopped and sighed. He stored the book in his inventory and leaned on his chair, "One step at a time."
"No need to rush, Yuhao."
"Yuhao-sama, Rayleigh is back." Raikou's voice came from the outside.
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrow, "That guy..."
"Don't tell me he really brought the entire Amazon Lily to Elwood. It can't be, right?"
"Well, I need to cool off anyway."
Huo Yuhao patted the comfortable chair and stood up. He walked to the door lazily and opened it, revealing Raikou with a funny expression on her face.
"What's with that expression? You seemed to hold a laughter or something."
"Hehe... N-Nothing." Raikou looked away, not even bothering to hold her little laughter anymore.
Huo Yuhao became suspicious of something but didn't say anything. He walked out with Raikou following behind him and arrived at the front gate of Dragon Nest's Branch.
Upon arrival, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and his mouth twitched.
A massive banner appeared before Huo Yuhao's eyes, and at least a thousand women in skimpy clothes cheered.
"OH, MY GOD! It's YUHAO-SAMA!" shouted one of the women, wearing bikini armor.
The leader of the group was a striking woman with a majestic aura. She wore a red v-neck blouse and a long red skirt, which enhanced her curvy body and smooth, long legs. She also has sharp features, long eyelashes, and fair skin radiating with nobility. Her black hair flowed down her back, and her deep blue eyes sparkled with 'passionate' intensity as she looked at Huo Yuhao.
The woman strode to Huo Yuhao confidently, but that confidence slowly eroded with every step she took. She breathed heavily in Huo Yuhao's presence and introduced herself with a bow, "My name is Boa Hancock, the current Empress of Amazon Lily..."
"I'm... YOUR BIGGEST FAN, YUHAO-SAMA!"
"..." Huo Yuhao.
What?
Since when did I have fans in this world?
Huo Yuhao could understand Boa Hancock because she might think he was a knight in shining armor after declaring war against the Celestial Dragons two years ago.
But what's with the others?
"Hahaha~!" Raikou finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. As much as she wanted to stay a "motherly" figure when Huo Yuhao was around, she couldn't this time.
It's just too amusing!
Huo Yuhao blankly watched Boa Hancock and the Amazons as Rayleigh gave him a thumbs up with a wide grin not far away.
'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, YOU BASTARD!' Huo Yuhao cursed at the dark king with a speechless look.
Of course, Rayleigh didn't get why Huo Yuhao glared at him. He laughed inwardly and thought, 'Haha, Yuhao-sama probably didn't expect to have such a massive fan from Amazon Lily.'
'What man wouldn't like this? As expected of me, Dark King, I still get it.'
'Sometimes my genius is almost frightening...' Rayleigh shook his head in helplessness.
Huo Yuhao massaged his forehead helplessly, feeling a headache. In the homeworld, Qianye Ying'er had already given him enough problems with her little cult, and Rayleigh here gave him more.
Huo Yuhao coughed and said with a straight face, "Welcome to Elwood, ladies. You might have heard of me-!"
"We do!" The amazoness screamed at the top of their lungs.
"Hahaha~!" Raikou's laughter becomes even louder.
Huo Yuhao gave Raikou a frowning look, and she finally stopped laughing but still had a 'cheeky' smile on.
He ignored her and continued calmly, "Anyway... Rayleigh probably has told you about the Dragon Nest and invited you to enter the Body Forging Department, but I want to say that you didn't necessarily need to join his department."
"Besides Body Forging, Disciplinary, and Spirit Guide, Dragon Nest also has a Sword and Shield Department that mainly protects other members and adheres when conflicts happen."
"We have a Rune Development Department that mainly teaches and develops how to use Runes."
"Artifact-making Department, which is self-explanatory."
"Spirit Beast Researching Department, studying about Spirit Beast's genes and origins."
"And many others!"
"Is there a department that is close to Yuhao-sama!" A bold amazoness raised her hand.
"..." Huo Yuhao.
Who are you?
What am I?
"There is none..."
"That's too bad...." A collective sigh echoed in the field.
Boa Hancock held her chest, fearing her heart might jump at any moment, and looked at Huo Yuhao warmly, "Y-Yuhao-sama, I'd like to make an elite army of our own. Can you approve it?"
"What's the name of your team?" Huo Yuhao responded calmly.
'It's not the one I'm thinking of, right?'
Boa Hancock smiled proudly, "Kuja Army. We will be your loyal swords and shields, protecting the Dragon Nest of this world."
'Thank god it's not the one I'm thinking of.' Huo Yuhao sighed in relief.
"Very well. From now on, another department will be born."
"Boa Hancock, you will be the commander of the Kuja Army, and I hope you won't disappoint me."
Boa Hancock was on the verge of blushing and replied firmly, "I won't! Kuja Army will never disappoint you!"
"We won't! Kuja Army will never disappoint you!" The other amazonesses followed.
