Compressed Soul Power, Ice and Fire Eyes
Listening to Tianmeng Bingcan's complaint, Yuhao smiled slightly and said,
"Brother Tianmeng, I'm doing this in preparation for condensing my soul core in the future."
A soul core can greatly improve a soul master's cultivation speed and recovery ability. At the same time, it is also a necessary threshold for stepping into the ranks of a Titled Douluo and even an Extreme Douluo.
Hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan rolled his eyes and said angrily,
"You think I don't know about soul cores? But that's something you should be worrying about much later."
Yuhao smiled and did not respond. When an ordinary soul master condenses a soul core, it usually marks the transition from a Soul Douluo to a Titled Douluo.
But that is the path of ordinary people.
Taking his original body as an example, he had already condensed a soul core at the Seven-Ring Soul Sage stage, and later even condensed the three great soul cores.
Yuhao was confident that this life, he would definitely surpass his original self.
"However, although your soul power level is only level twenty, your physical strength is simply abnormal. I'd say it's already close to the level of a Soul Sect."
"Well… almost."
Yuhao replied ambiguously.
Over the past three months, Yuhao had not wasted the resources of the Star Dou Great Forest. Every few days, he would consume a rare elixir or a precious treasure of heaven and earth.
Although the primary function of these elixirs and precious medicines was to strengthen the body and consolidate one's foundation, the sheer quantity he consumed caused Yuhao's physical strength to rise by a terrifying margin.
By his own estimation, his physique was no weaker than that of a level forty-five Beast Spirit Soul Sect.
And if he were to activate the Golden Dragon King's bloodline martial soul again, Yuhao's physical power would become even more frightening.
It was precisely because of this terrifying physique that Yuhao dared to attempt compressing his soul power while still at a soul master level of just over ten ranks.
One must understand that compressing soul power is not an easy task and is accompanied by significant danger.
Normally, only high-level soul masters who have tempered their bodies to an extremely high level would dare to attempt such a thing.
Yet a monster like Yuhao dared to compress soul power at such a low level—and not only did he dare, he actually succeeded.
"You little monster… forget it. Since your soul power has already reached level twenty, shouldn't we now add a form to your second martial soul?"
When he said this, Tianmeng Bingcan's voice clearly carried excitement.
Yuhao naturally understood Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's reaction. After all, the Ice Emperor was Tianmeng's lifelong obsession and dream lover.
However, before heading to the far north, Yuhao needed to go to another place.
"Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng. We will go to the far north, but before that, we need to visit the Sunset Forest."
A subtle smile appeared on Yuhao's lips.
"Sunset Forest? Why go there?"
Tianmeng Bingcan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Hehe, because there is a treasure land there known as the Ice and Fire Eyes. It contains precious elixirs that are almost impossible to find elsewhere in the world. Two of them are extremely important to me at the moment."
"The Ice and Fire Eyes… hiss."
Tianmeng Bingcan clearly knew of this legendary place and immediately asked,
"Then do you know the route to the Ice and Fire Eyes?"
"I don't."
Yuhao shook his head slightly and continued calmly,
"But I won't be going alone."
As he finished speaking, two figures silently appeared behind Yuhao.
One of them was naturally Di Tian, while the other was a beautiful woman with long emerald-green hair.
She was the Emerald Swan, Brigitte, ranked fourth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.
"My lord, everything is ready. Shall we depart now?"
Di Tian asked in a deep and respectful voice.
Looking at Di Tian and Brigitte, both of whom had completely restrained their auras, Yuhao nodded slightly and said,
"Very good. Let's set off immediately."
Yes, the ones accompanying Yuhao to the Sunset Forest were Di Tian and Brigitte.
Under normal circumstances, Di Tian would never leave the Star Dou Great Forest. Without his suppression, the countless soul beasts within could easily fall into chaos.
However, things were different now.
The six ferocious beasts remaining in the Star Dou Great Forest all obeyed Yuhao's orders, especially Mr. Xiong, whose strength was second only to Di Tian. Their loyalty toward Yuhao was absolute.
Even if Di Tian left for a short time, no riots would occur within the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for why Brigitte was brought along, it was because she was the strongest healing-type soul beast in the world and was extremely sensitive to the aura of life.
With Brigitte present, locating the Ice and Fire Eyes would become far easier.
After receiving Yuhao's order, Di Tian and Brigitte exchanged a glance. In the next instant, a black torrent surged forth, wrapping Yuhao and Brigitte within it. The group then soared into the sky, heading straight toward the Sunset Forest.
...
The Sunset Forest was located in the northeastern region of the Tianhun Empire, still quite some distance from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even with Di Tian's terrifying speed, it still took more than half a day to arrive.
This was because Di Tian had deliberately restrained his aura and could not fly at full speed.
When they arrived, Di Tian and Yuhao hovered in midair rather than descending immediately.
"Brigitte, can you sense the location of the Ice and Fire Eyes?"
Along the way, Yuhao had already explained the situation of the Ice and Fire Eyes to both Di Tian and Brigitte, including the fact that six ten-thousand-year plant-type soul beasts grew there, along with countless spiritual herbs and rare elixirs.
Thus, the aura of life in that area should be extraordinarily dense.
Brigitte raised her slender hand, and a strand of tangible green soul power condensed in her palm.
Yuhao could clearly feel that although this strand of soul power was small, it contained an unimaginably vast vitality.
Then, as if it possessed consciousness, the green soul power slowly extended in a certain direction.
"My lord, the Ice and Fire Eyes should be straight ahead."
Brigitte pointed toward the direction in which her soul power extended.
Without waiting for Yuhao's command, Di Tian immediately moved again.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, Di Tian came to a stop. What appeared before Yuhao was a valley shrouded by poisonous miasma.
Seeing this scene, Yuhao was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt a surge of joy.
This poisonous miasma was emitted by the Blue Scale Seven Jue Flower, whose purpose was precisely to protect the Ice and Fire Eyes hidden within the valley.
"It's here."
Yuhao urged Di Tian to descend.
However, Di Tian suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice,
"My lord, aside from those six ten-thousand-year soul beasts, why do I sense one—no, two—extremely terrifying auras?"
Yuhao took a deep look at Di Tian. Of course, he knew exactly what the auras Di Tian sensed were.
They were the remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
In other words, it took the corpses of two God-King–level existences to form this supreme treasure land.
Yuhao absolutely intended to obtain those two dragon king remains someday, especially after awakening the Golden Dragon King's bloodline martial soul.
Just not now.
"Those are the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King."
"What?!"
Di Tian's pupils contracted sharply.
Yuhao did not give him time to think further. He waved his hand and signaled Brigitte to activate her protective barrier.
After all, the poisonous miasma here was useless against super soul beasts like Di Tian and Brigitte, but it posed a serious threat to Yuhao himself.
Seeing this, Di Tian suppressed his thoughts. Since his lord already knew of this place, he clearly had his own arrangements. All Di Tian needed to do was follow his lord closely.
Under Brigitte's protection, the poisonous miasma emitted by the Blue Scale Seven Jue Flowers was completely blocked out. Yuhao, Di Tian, and Brigitte calmly walked forward and entered the Ice and Fire Eyes.
At the same time, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes erupted violently.
