Huo Xingling was wearing a golden soul power battle armor and was tightly gripping a golden longsword that exuded terrifying power.
At her chest was a dazzling ice-blue crystal, which continuously emitted a white halo that softly enveloped Huo Xingling's entire figure.
Behind her were four solid golden halos and five illusory light shadows. These nine halos made Huo Xingling look so otherworldly.
Huo Yuhao's flying knife was aimed straight at Xue Di, but Xue Di was still in a sealed state. If he forced his way in, all his efforts would be in vain.
At the critical moment, Huo Xingling, having finished charging up and received the artifact's amplification, arrived just in time and used her longsword to deflect the flying knife.
In reality, although the knife was knocked away, it only shifted at an angle. Huo Xingling, who had withstood the force of the knife, was shaken so violently by its terrifying power that his body trembled violently.
"What terrifying power! Is this the strength of Marshal Xingluo?"
Huo Yuhao's seemingly casual attack just now required her to use her divine power to neutralize it.
It was only then that she realized just how strong Huo Yuhao was.
During the beast tide, she only watched from afar. After her teacher died, she also fell into a long sleep and didn't know much about what happened afterward.
All she knew was that Huo Yuhao had single-handedly killed the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian and the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Emperor.
The name of Marshal Xinluo is a well-known figure throughout the entire Douluo Continent, and many people feel fear upon hearing it.
However, relying solely on rumors is not accurate enough; only by confronting fear can one know just how strong it is.
"You weren't this strong at the Starlight Auction House. Forcibly raising your strength to this level will definitely come at a huge price. Is it worth it for the Snow Empress?"
Huo Yuhao brought his index and middle fingers together and waved them lightly. The throwing knife he had just thrown changed direction at a rapid speed under his control and hovered around Huo Xingling, as if it would stab her at any moment.
Whether it's worth it or not is not important. This is my promise to them, and I will keep it even if it means my death.
"Then let's fight! Let me see what level the gods of the far north are at."
Huo Yuhao spoke with an air of dominance, and after he said those words lightly, the flying knives hovering around Huo Xingling began to move.
Huo Xingling's expression also became very solemn. Her eyes flashed as she frantically locked onto the location of Huo Yuhao's throwing knife. She gripped the golden longsword tightly in front of her chest, ready to meet the impact of the throwing knife at any moment.
"Xingling, be careful. Xuedi will be fine soon. Bingbing and I will come to help you then."
With a worried expression, Tianmeng Bingcan sent a mental message to Huo Xingling, and then quickened her pace.
He had been hoping that the Star Luo General of the Star Luo Empire wouldn't show up today, but it was all in vain. Huo Yuhao still came in the end.
Some people can inspire fear the moment they appear; that's the awe-inspiring power of their strength.
Whether we can withdraw safely today is still unknown.
With Huo Yuhao's suppression on the battlefield, the army of soul beasts instantly became lambs to the slaughter.
The Star Luo Empire's army also sounded the horn of counterattack, raising their weapons and charging towards these soul beasts.
As for the Terrorclaw Soul Guide Corps and the people of Mingde Hall, they dared not make the slightest move, but simply watched quietly as the two extremely powerful figures in the air appeared.
Their strength is clearly beyond the realm of mortals; this is a battle of gods.
Under Huo Yuhao's control, the golden flying knife shot towards Huo Xingling at an extremely terrifying speed, but it missed its target.
The fourth halo behind Huo Xingling flashed, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot. This was her teleportation soul skill, which could be used three times a day to teleport within a small area. However, each use consumed a great deal of energy, as it was a soul skill with spatial attributes.
However, after being amplified by divine power, her skill no longer has a limit on the number of uses, after all, it has risen to the level of a divine skill.
Huo Yuhao's throwing knives are incredibly powerful and fast; an ordinary Soul Master would be instantly smashed into a pile of mud if struck by them.
Even a level 90+ titled Douluo, fully armed, would find it difficult to catch his throwing knife, which possessed an explosive force of 500,000 kilograms.
After all, this already belongs to the realm of God.
Even at its full power, the Trident of Poseidon weighs only 500,000 kilograms. Ten thousand years ago, Tang San was able to single-handedly conquer Jialing Pass with just the Trident of Poseidon.
This is what is meant by "one force can overcome all methods".
The only way to deal with Huo Yuhao's throwing knives is to avoid being hit by them.
The only thing we can do here is focus on speed.
Huo Xingling was very clever. In their first encounter, she already knew just how terrifying the power of Huo Yuhao's throwing knife was. The key to whether the battle could continue was to avoid being hit.
"Teleportation?"
The throwing knife missed its target and, under Huo Yuhao's control, continued to fly towards where Huo Xingling had landed. However, Huo Xingling's figure flashed again, dodging the impact of the throwing knife once more.
"Interesting. The gods of the far north are actually more adept at speed."
Huo Yuhao could see that every time Huo Xingling teleported, the ice-blue crystal on her chest would flash.
His throwing knives were already faster than the speed of sound. This terrifying speed was so great that even a Super Douluo couldn't react to it.
Huo Xingling was able to dodge in time, which was largely due to her soul skills, but more importantly, it was the artifact on her chest.
Huo Yuhao felt like he was playing whack-a-mole, and seeing this scene, he found it somewhat amusing.
"If you're so good at dodging, how would you deal with ten throwing knives if I used them?"
The storage soul tool on Huo Yuhao's body shimmered slightly, and nine identical throwing knives suddenly appeared. Under Huo Yuhao's control, they flew towards Huo Xingling like a streak of light.
Huo Yuhao's ten throwing knives were all pressing down on Huo Xingling, making it hard for her to breathe. These ten knives blocked all of Huo Xingling's teleportation routes.
Forced into a corner, a resolute look appeared on her face. Since she couldn't dodge or block, she would attack head-on.
The icy blue artifact on her chest began to emanate powerful soul energy, tinged with a hint of gold, making her aura even more ethereal.
Huo Xingling instantly accelerated, her body sweeping past the flying knives, and wielding a longsword, she slashed towards Huo Yuhao.
Just then, a cold and arrogant voice came from behind her, and at the same time, a powerful and terrifying ice-attribute attack flew towards Huo Yuhao.
"Imperial Sword, Unrivaled Ice"
.
In the sky, a deep blue longsword, seemingly formed from ice crystals, exuded unparalleled power. Following Huo Xingling, it also fiercely slashed towards Huo Yuhao, while countless snowflakes seemed to drift down from the sky.
This is one of the three great skills of the Snow Emperor, the Emperor Sword, the Peerless Ice Blade.
At this moment, Xue Di had completely stabilized her chaotic core, forcibly condensed her form, and returned to her peak state before birth.
She had a human appearance, with long, white hair that hung down to her feet, and clear, sky-blue eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world.
Her slender, delicate figure was flawless. A simple white dress, though unadorned, made her appear incredibly elegant and stunning. Every detail was impeccable.
Yuki-tei was already cold-hearted, and after the auction, her heart became even colder.
This sword strike contained all her strength and her anger.
Combined with Huo Xingling's sword strike imbued with divine power, the two actually gave Huo Yuhao a sense of danger.
However, Huo Yuhao remained unmoved.
The Spirit Eye Martial Soul instantly possessed him, and a golden, invincible protective shield appeared immediately, blocking the two light swords, one gold and one blue, in front of him. At the same time, under his control, the ten flying knives also changed angles and began to attack the two of them.
Seeing this, Huo Xingling rapidly released her mental power, using mental detection and mental sharing to connect with Xue Di.
With the detection of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Bingbi Emperor Scorpion Ice Emperor, the two of them essentially have a 360-degree view without any blind spots.
Xue Di's beautiful eyes changed slightly, also surprised by the incredible effects of Huo Xingling's two soul skills.
Huo Xingling's two soul skills can be described as divine combat support skills.
"Snow Emperor, his strength lies in his throwing knives; we must attack his body at close range."
Having narrowly dodged the attack, Huo Xingling used her mental power to communicate with Xue Di.
Upon hearing this, Xue Di nodded deeply.
Everyone has their own strengths and interests.
It's impossible to have both strong mental strength and strong physical strength.
The Star General before her possessed unparalleled throwing knife prowess; each knife possessed enough power to injure her. Clearly, these throwing knives constituted the entirety of his strength, making his physical body his Achilles' heel.
"Then leave it to me. You go up close and defeat him."
No matter how strong, powerful, or sharp the throwing knife is, it will still be hindered by obstacles, even if only for a short time. But this is also an opportunity.
"The Emperor's Cold Heaven, Snow Dances Under the Dazzling Sun."
This is the Snow Empress's domain ability, a domain skill whose power far surpasses that of the Eternal Frozen Domain.
Ice and snow, first comes snow, then ice. The temperature of ice is naturally lower than that of snow.
However, in the realm of Snow Empress's snow dance, the temperature must exceed zero degrees Celsius; this is Snow Empress's understanding of snow.
Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. In the beautiful snow scene, a figure of ice and snow danced alone. Her dance was so beautiful, light, and ethereal. With her unique melody, Huo Yuhao's ten flying knives were also drawn into the rhythm, spinning with her dance steps.
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. His mental power had actually broken the connection with those flying knives, which was quite interesting.
The soul skills of Douluo Continent remain an unsolved mystery.
Powerful soul skills possess the power of rules, while weak soul skills can't even kill a chicken.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's golden soul ring belonging to Di Tian behind him also began to flash. A bright and dazzling energy crystal appeared on his forehead, passing through the clouds and merging with the full moon in the sky. After all, the moon also has the power of the sun.
The charging time was extremely short, and Huo Yuhao quickly completed the charging of his soul skill. He turned his head slightly, facing Xue Di's graceful dancing figure, and a beam of light burst out.
"You have Di Hantian, whose snow dances and shines in the sun; I have Di Tian, whose dragon god shines in the sun."
Dragon God's Radiant Sun is a divine skill, while Snow Empress's Dazzling Snow Dance is at most at the limit level; the difference in skill is immediately apparent.
Moreover, and most importantly, Huo Yuhao is still on the right this time.
Historically, the left side of a match loses. No matter how enthusiastically the Snow Emperor dances, she cannot escape the fate of losing.
The ice and snow in the sky were melted in an instant by this scorching ray of light, and the Snow Empress's solo dance was cruelly interrupted. On the ground, the crowd who had been mesmerized by the Snow Empress's exquisite dance also came to their senses.
The clash with the Snow Emperor continued, his dragon god radiance undiminished.
While watching Xue Di, Huo Yuhao also kept an eye on Huo Xingling's movements.
She used a simulated soul skill to conceal her figure. Although Huo Yuhao could sense her location, she would quickly teleport to the next place.
If Xue Di is a mage dancer, then Huo Xingling is a shadow assassin.
Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the sky, and a golden sword appeared out of thin air behind Huo Yuhao, then stabbed towards Huo Yuhao from behind.
Huo Xingling, hiding in the shadows, was extremely nervous because she only had one chance. If she failed to seize it, all of Xue Di's efforts to hold back the flying knives would be wasted.
Just as the sword tip was about to strike Huo Yuhao, he suddenly turned around, gathered his soul power in his hand to cover his skin, and without even looking, grabbed the longsword that was thrusting at him.
He suddenly exerted force with his arm and pulled hard, dragging Huo Xingling's entire figure out of the void, and then she flew uncontrollably towards Huo Yuhao.
He showed no mercy whatsoever, grabbing her snow-white neck with his left hand and lifting her up into the air.
Bound and helpless, Huo Xingling could only struggle desperately, but to no avail.
What terrified her was that the strength in Huo Yuhao's hand was also extremely terrifying.
"Emperor's Palm, Great Cold with No Snow."
Just as Huo Yuhao captured Huo Xingling, Xue Di also found an opportunity, instantly closing in and striking down with a palm.
This is Xue Di's most powerful move. This palm strike is extremely powerful, but it has a great limitation: it requires close proximity and a successful hit on the opponent to unleash its full power.
Huo Yuhao was struck hard on the chest, but what awaited Xue Di was a throat-sealing attack.
Huo Yuhao grabbed Xue Di's snow-white neck with his right hand and lifted her to the same height as Huo Xingling.
A look of disbelief instantly appeared on Xue Di's stunningly beautiful face.
"You, you were hit by my Emperor's Cold Palm, and you're completely unharmed?"
Huo Yuhao smiled coldly
"Do I need something done?"
At this moment, Xue Di's cold face was filled with despair.
"The Douluo Continent actually has an existence like you? Did Di Tian also fall into your hands in this way?"
"No, no, I killed him directly. You should have suffered the same fate as him today, but you still have some use, so I didn't intend to kill you."
Huo Yuhao made it very clear: he could kill them anytime he wanted.
However, he did not intend to kill them. The reason they were still alive was entirely due to Huo Yuhao's mercy in sparing their lives.
"Hehe, what a great gift! But I don't really want it."
Xue Di said coldly, and then she tightly hugged the hand that Huo Yuhao was holding her neck with her slender and fair hands. Her eyes were filled with hatred and contempt for Huo Yuhao.
"I, Xue Di, will never be used by anyone, never."
As she finished speaking, an extremely terrifying soul power suddenly surged from her body. This soul power directly locked onto Huo Xingling. At the same time, a domain ripple spread outwards from Xue Di in all directions.
Huo Yuhao, who was in the lead, was naturally the first to be affected. His body was instantly imprisoned by this domain and he could no longer move.
Not only him, but all living beings in this world were frozen in an instant.
Within this realm, everyone is imprisoned. Those with weak strength fall into a deep sleep immediately, while even powerful beings, including titled Douluo, gradually lose consciousness within this realm.
This realm not only solidifies the body, but even consciousness.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still
The divine realm, the central authority for enforcing the law.
Within the hexagonal light mirrors, beneath the light mirror belonging to Douluo Star, stood seven figures.
Among them, the leading blue figure emitted a soft halo. His blue soul power covered the entire mirror, reversing time and slowing down the tenfold speed of the scene in the mirror, synchronizing it with their divine realm. At the same time, they were also watching the scene inside intently.
It was the scene where Huo Yuhao grabbed Huo Xingling and Xue Di with his bare hands.
"Brother Dai, your offspring is quite something!" Oscar the God of Cookery exclaimed in shock, still in a daze.
It wasn't just him; everyone else felt the same way.
After all, they had all witnessed Huo Yuhao's battle.
Huo Yuhao's invincible demeanor was deeply etched into their hearts.
"Mu Bai, I called you here just to say that there may be a major change on Douluo Star." Tang San's expression was somewhat solemn.
With the extinction of the soul beasts in the Star Luo Empire, he sensed something was amiss. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, he was certain that something was wrong on the Douluo Continent.
However, strangely enough, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
In the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Silver Dragon King's half-body was still barely clinging to life, the Imperial Beast was unharmed, and his daughter's divine consciousness was also unharmed.
Deep within the earth, his parents' absorption of the Nine-Colored Will of the Douluo Continent was progressing very well without any changes. He had always believed that the Douluo Continent was still under his control until he sensed something unusual about Huo Xingling, at which point he realized where the problem lay.
All of this involved one person.
That's Huo Yuhao in the light screen.
Originally, Tang San would not have made any discovery. However, today's chosen one actually fused with the divine power of a third-rate deity, which Tang San, who had been paying attention to Huo Xingling, immediately sensed.
Tang San's plan was to manipulate Rong Nianbing's God of Emotions so that Huo Xingling could inherit his divine position. However, Huo Xingling had just merged with the divine power of the Ice and Snow Goddess.
Although the Ice and Snow Goddess is also a first-level god, she is a very marginal god. After becoming a god, her potential is limited, which is something Tang San absolutely cannot accept.
He is destined to fight the God of Destruction, and if he only has the Shrek Seven Devils as his useless teammates, his chances of winning are extremely slim.
Therefore, he didn't want the chosen one he had arranged to go astray.
Seeing Tang San's expression, Dai Mubai also became serious.
"Poseidon, do you mean that all of this is related to my ridiculously powerful descendant?"
"No, God of War, it's all just a coincidence," Tang San immediately retorted.
"coincide?"
"Yes, although your descendants have participated in the recent changes that have occurred in Douluo Continent, it is all a coincidence."
"The destruction of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was their own fault, and I know in my heart who the culprit is."
He knows perfectly well that the Holy Spirit Church belongs to him.
"The matter of the Snow Emperor's embryo was also a coincidence. I have already calculated it. Your descendants did not have any interference. It was all due to fate."
Tang San certainly couldn't have foreseen that the Holy Spirit Sect had already taken a huge blame the first time, and Tang San couldn't possibly lower himself to personally investigate the Holy Spirit Sect. He also couldn't have imagined that Huo Yuhao already knew his identity and had used methods to cover it up. As for the second time, the Snow Empress embryo incident, Huo Yuhao only made it bigger; he himself didn't interfere much.
"Then, Sea God, what do you mean by this?" Dai Mubai was a little confused. Tang San said it was related to him as a descendant, and then said it wasn't.
"God of War, your descendant's strength does not belong to the Douluo Continent, but comes from another world. That's why he can suppress everything at this age."
"Although he didn't cause all the changes that have occurred in Douluo Continent, he did push them forward. It's normal for a young man to be a little arrogant once he gains strength." After Tang San finished speaking, a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes. He was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's strength.
"From another world? A world similar to Ji Dong and Lie Yan's?"
The Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise. After becoming gods, their knowledge had become much broader, and they were no longer frogs at the bottom of a well, confined to one world.
In the Douluo Universe, there are many bizarre and unique worlds. In fact, each light screen here represents a different world.
"Hmm," Tang San nodded and continued, "Although we don't know which world he's from, the abilities he's gained are terrifying. Although he's still very weak in our eyes right now, once he becomes a god, he will undergo a qualitative change. This Huo Yuhao has the potential to become a god-king."
At this moment, Dai Mubai finally realized what was happening.
As clever as he was, he quickly understood Tang San's intentions.
However, at this moment, his eyes were drawn to the handsome figure in blood red beside him, and he couldn't help but sigh at Tang San's cold-bloodedness.
After entering the realm of gods, Ma Hongjun cried every day because his divine position was not high enough to bring his relatives to the upper realm.
"Sea God, are you saying that I, as a descendant, have a chance to become a god?"
After a moment's thought, Dai Mubai decided to speak tactfully. After all, the Phoenix God was his good brother, and he didn't want the two of them to clash. Tang San was now the God King of the God Realm and was no longer the mistress he once was.
Although Tang San often said when everyone gathered, "Don't call me the Sea God, just call me the same as before," could it really be the same?
These people are no longer on the same level.
Upon hearing this, Tang San's lips curled into a cold smile.
"No, the people of the lower realm have long lost their qualifications to become gods. The divine realm is currently overflowing with divine positions, and there are no extra divine positions to inherit. Furthermore, I have long since forbidden the path of creating one's own divine position. The divine realm does not have enough source of divine power. If geniuses from the lower realm were to continuously create divine positions and come to the divine realm, the divine realm would have long been in chaos."
"However, although he doesn't have a divine position, I can bring him to the divine realm so he can cultivate there. When there are enough divine positions available, he can inherit them."
At this point, Ma Hongjun was almost at his breaking point.
"Sea God, so you've finally decided to give up those two positions of your Asura Godhood?"
Ma Hongjun's spirit possessed him, and a terrifying phoenix that blotted out the sky appeared. The three divine rings behind him began to flash, and a terrifyingly hot aura immediately spread in the air, seemingly capable of burning everything to ashes.
This is Phoenix Fire, a fire that surpasses all others.
Ma Hongjun's sudden outburst shocked everyone. Tang San's expression was also somewhat displeased. He hadn't expected Ma Hongjun to erupt at this moment. He thought that Douluo Star had been around for ten thousand years, and that Ma Hongjun should have let go of the past. But it turned out that he hadn't.
"Phoenix, watch your attitude. Don't run wild in the temple." Tang San's gentle blue divine power began to turn fierce, and the vast divine power pressed down on Ma Hongjun.
"Tang San, Bai Chenxiang, she is your cousin, your family, and my lover. Back then, you said we couldn't violate the rules of the God Realm. No matter how much I begged you, you wouldn't agree. Now, you're telling me you're going to bring someone you've never even truly met to the God Realm?"
"Fatty, calm down."
Seeing the sudden tension, Oscar immediately stepped in, hoping the two could calm down.
Oscar's main concern is Ma Hongjun.
They all knew Tang San's personality perfectly well. If they offended Tang San, he wouldn't care about any past relationships. Tang San was the God King of the God Realm, the owner of two divine beings. Half of the entire God Realm belonged to Tang San. Ma Hongjun definitely couldn't defeat him.
"Calm down? I can't calm down, Tang San. I've figured it out now. The reason you won't let Chen Xiang go to the mortal realm is because of her strength. With your soul rings, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape can live freely for ten thousand years and be immortal, while your own cousin has to die alone in the mortal realm. Tang San, you are truly heartless."
"That's enough!" Tang San shouted angrily. Ma Hongjun's words made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
He never expected that Ma Hongjun harbored such deep resentment towards him, nor did he expect that Ma Hongjun would dare to oppose him.
Ma Hongjun has already decided to die.
However, he was merciful. After all, Ma Hongjun was a member of the Shrek Seven Devils and his teammate. If he were to lay a hand on him, it might cause resentment among the others, which would be a loss rather than a gain.
"Phoenix, you are very emotionally unstable right now. Go to the Douluo Continent to calm down for a while, and then return to the God Realm after some time."
If irreconcilable conflicts arise among the gods in the divine realm, they will be sent to the mortal realm for a period of time, since one day in the divine realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm.
In the face of time, everything is in vain.
Tang San's judgment was indeed very merciful.
When Ma Hongjun heard about Tang San's execution, he disapproved of Tang San's arrogant attitude, but he could only let it go.
He had no grounds to criticize Tang San.
The right to bring others is Tang San's personal right. He has no obligation to help Bai Chenxiang or Ma Hongjun. Having been a god for so many years, he sees everything very clearly. However, just now, Tang San casually gave away a spot that he had begged for but could not get back then, leaving him unable to get over it for a moment.
Go to Douluo Continent? That's fine. I haven't been back for ten thousand years. It'll be a good opportunity to see how my descendants are doing.
The farce ended just like that, but no one was at peace.
Tang San didn't care much about falling; in his eyes, Huo Yuhao was more valuable than all of them.
Moreover, he is a descendant of Dai Mubai and has a bloodline connection with him. After Huo Yuhao becomes a god, he will definitely be able to use him.
Huo Yuhao is already this strong now, so how strong will he be after becoming a god? He can't even imagine.
Even the chosen ones have to step aside in his presence.
For the first time, Tang San had the confidence to go toe-to-toe with the God of Destruction.
Thinking to himself, he continued to look at the light screen.
Huo Xingling is also an important pawn, and he doesn't want any surprises. If Huo Yuhao makes a killing move later, he will choose to act.
What? The gods cannot interfere in the mortal realm? As the head of the Gods' Judgment Division, he naturally knew this. However, he had only entrusted the divine artifact to his daughter who was in school. It wasn't wrong for a father to worry about his daughter's safety and take action to protect her!
He, Tang San, absolutely did not violate the rules of the God Realm.
The border of the Star Luo Empire on the Douluo Continent.
For the first time, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a look of things being out of control.
His pupils were filled with shock, and he realized that he had really been caught off guard today.
If he wasn't mistaken, the absolute stillness he was currently in was the absolute stillness created by the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Xue Di, that crazy woman, she offered herself as a sacrifice.
The sacrifice of a 690,000-year-old soul beast is no ordinary sacrifice. This level of absolute stillness can even imprison gods.
Huo Yuhao's mental power was extremely strong, so he was only imprisoned in body and part of consciousness; he could still see, hear, and think.
However, others were not so lucky; everything about them was frozen, including their thoughts, giving the impression that they were truly dead.
The sacrifice of a soul beast is the unconditional offering of its soul power, soul, and all its flesh and blood to the recipient.
This kind of sacrifice can be endured by any Soul Master who meets the conditions for absorbing Soul Power.
Even a mere Soul Master can accept a sacrifice from a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.
Moreover, this kind of sacrifice has no side effects; on the contrary, it causes the entire body of the person being sacrificed to undergo a transformation.
Cleansing the Soul Master's body, martial spirit, and soul.
Even a useless person can become a peerless genius through sacrifice.
This is a top-tier treasure far exceeding the 100,000-year-old external soul bone.
It has only happened four times in tens of thousands of years.
The Tang family took it all.
The Blue Silver Emperor was sacrificed to Tang Hao, the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit Xiao Wu was sacrificed to Tang San, and the Great Ming Azure Bull and the Two Ming Titan Giant Ape were sacrificed to Tang San.
There have only been four such cases in the past ten thousand years.
Tang San also relied on the sacrifice of soul beasts to continuously improve his physical qualities, reaching the standard that would allow him to inherit the godhood.
As for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor on Huo Xingling's body, they were not simply sacrifices. After all, their souls were still there, and they even transformed into a martial soul through a special means.
Huo Xingling is incredibly lucky to have survived the fake sacrifice by a million-year-old soul beast, while Bingdi is even more outrageous, with Tianmeng even creating a sacrifice domain.
Ice Emperor absorbed everything by force. First, he absorbed the soul bone, then fused it with the soul power, then his bloodline became his martial soul, and finally he absorbed the soul ring.
It's truly admirable that Huo Xingling was able to endure it.
As for the Snow Emperor's sacrifice, it was a very pure sacrifice.
Just as Huo Xingling said that she would rather die than break her promise, she won the Snow Emperor's approval.
In Xue Di's eyes, Huo Xingling was a good girl.
She, too, was chosen by the goddess of ice and snow.
Offering myself as a sacrifice to her isn't a particularly bad deal. It's better to help her become a god than to be struck down and reduced to ashes by heavenly tribulation soon after.
At this moment, Huo Xingling's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
She hadn't expected that the Snow Empress would be so resolute, preferring to sacrifice herself rather than be manipulated by Huo Yuhao.
She came to save people, but now she has become an object to be sacrificed.
It's truly a cruel twist of fate.
The main issue is that her soul power had just reached level 50, but she didn't acquire a soul ring.
The Snow Empress was able to successfully offer her sacrifice for this reason.
It was truly destined.
Enveloped by the Snow Empress's warm soul power, Huo Xingling felt a wave of comfort wash over her.
In the realm of absolute stillness, everything is still; the only moving thing is the Snow Empress offering sacrifices.
In the final moment before transforming into a soul ring, she used her last ounce of strength to unleash her ultimate technique.
The Emperor's Sword, Unparalleled in Ice.
The icy sword, imbued with terrifying soul power, was held in the hands of the Snow Empress, and her exquisitely beautiful figure slowly approached Huo Yuhao.
She raised the longsword in her hand, aimed it at Huo Yuhao's heart, and plunged it deep into his chest.
One inch, two inches, three inches, until the entire sword was completely submerged.
At this moment, a bitter smile appeared on Xue Di's face.
"I know you still have consciousness. You are a truly terrifying monster. You were able to remain conscious and not be frozen even when facing my 690,000-year-old sacrificial domain. However, everything is over now. Your sinful life is completely over."
A sense of pleasure welled up in Xue Di's heart, but she never expected that her imperial sword had not actually entered Huo Yuhao's body, but had been completely shattered before it even entered his body.
Huo Yuhao was wearing a Black God Set with astonishing defensive capabilities.
However, this cannot be blamed on Xue Di, since she didn't have time to test it.
The time allotted for the sacrifice is very short, and if she wastes it, the sacrifice may very well fail.
With these thoughts in mind, her gaze fell upon Little White, the Great White Bear imprisoned underground. She recalled the scene of rescuing it, those details still vivid in her mind.
Xiaobai was her only relative in this world.
She was very reluctant to part with it.
And Hyotei, who was also her only friend.
But now, she doesn't even have the chance to say goodbye.
Hopefully, once I've dealt with Xingluo Shuai, everyone can leave safely.
Thinking this, Xue Di had no more lingering attachments. Her body began to turn completely red and then became illusory. All her soul power, spiritual power, and blood energy transformed into the purest energy and entered Huo Xingling's body.
Her soul bone also transformed into an ice and snow crown, which was attached to Huo Xingling's head.
With Huo Xingling's cultivation level, it was still somewhat beyond her ability to receive such a massive infusion of pure soul power. However, with the assistance of the Ice Crown external soul bone and the clearing effect of the sapphire blue artifact on her chest, she entered a stable absorption phase.
Moreover, she also emitted a dazzling blue light.
At this moment, Huo Xingling was like a queen in the snow
The following day, at the Starlight Hotel.
After Wang Dong woke up from her sleep, the golden trident phantom on her forehead began to dissipate.
"Why do I feel so dizzy? Did I hurt my neck?"
She shook her head slightly, then kicked the blanket away.
As soon as Wang Dong got up and finished washing up, he rushed to Huo Xingling's room. After knocking on the door, there was no response. Wang Dong then started shouting loudly, but still no one answered.
"Xingling, Huo Xingling, open the door!"
"Wang Dong, what are you doing?"
Xu Sanshi held a few steamed buns in his hand, munching on them while looking at the anxious Wang Dong with a puzzled expression.
"Senior Xu, I called Xingling, but he hasn't replied to my messages. The door is also locked from the inside and he won't open it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately laughed.
"There's no one inside, so of course no one will open the door, unless there's a ghost." Xu Sanshi laughed, especially when he said the word "ghost," his tone suddenly rose an octave.
"Xu Sanshi, don't scare your junior brother."
Bei Bei followed closely behind Xu Sanshi. He glanced at Xu Sanshi with annoyance, then looked at Wang Dong and explained, "Early this morning, Xing Ling asked Teacher Wang Yan for leave for two days, and Teacher Wang Yan agreed."
"Huh? Then why didn't he tell me? And wouldn't that interfere with today's match?"
"Wang Dong, you two are really close, aren't you? Xing Ling has to report to you wherever she goes, right?" Xu Sanshi joked, swallowed the steamed bun in his hand in one bite, wiped his oily hands on Bei Bei's shoulder, and took out a newspaper from his storage soul tool.
"Look, the notice was just sent out today, and Teacher Wang Yan is overjoyed."
What?!
Wang Dong had no interest in reading the newspaper at the moment, but when she glanced at the large characters on the paper, she still felt incredulous.
"The All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament is suspended for two days? Are you kidding me?"
"It's written in black and white, how could it be fake?" Xu Sanshi said confidently.
"What major event happened to create such a historic precedent? Senior brother, do you know?"
Wang Dong asked with some curiosity, and she had some guesses in her heart. The big event that happened recently was the Starlight Auction last night, the Snow Emperor embryo auctioned, and today's suspension notice. She immediately felt that it was related to this.
"Something happened last night, so serious that even the Star Luo Empire had to postpone the competition for two days."
Beibei looked solemn and said earnestly
"The Star Luo General of the Star Luo Empire is dead."
"ah?"
Wang Dong was shocked for the first time, and his first reaction was disbelief.
He was present throughout the entire beast tide. He witnessed Xingluo Shuai's invincible demeanor as he slew two powerful beast overlords. Huo Yuhao was even his idol.
In his opinion, Huo Yuhao was the strongest being in the entire Douluo Continent, without exception, and even his own fathers couldn't defeat him.
But now, Senior Brother Beibei tells him that Marshal Xingluo died yesterday.
"Otherwise, why do you think the Star Luo Empire would suspend the competition for two days? It's to hold a national festival. What kind of person is Marshal Star Luo? Why can't the competition be postponed for two days for him?"
"Is it really true?"
Wang Dong suddenly felt a pang of regret and a touch of disappointment. His idol had died so young. Life is truly unpredictable, and things change so quickly!
However, Wang Dong immediately realized what was happening and then asked...
"Senior Brother, how did Marshal Xingluo die? Who killed him?"
Faced with Wang Dong's question, Bei Bei was about to speak when Xu Sanshi seized the opportunity and began to talk to himself.
"Well, that's a long story. Do you know who bought the Snow Emperor embryo yesterday?"
Wang Dong shook his head.
How could he possibly know that?
"It's the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire. Yesterday, the head of the Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, actually came to the auction house in person. Relying on the terrifying financial power of the Mingde Hall, he acquired the Snow Emperor's embryo with an invincible attitude."
"The incident occurred after the Starlight Auction ended."
"Oh, someone went to rob us." Wang Dong suddenly realized.
"That's right, Wang Dong, you're smart, kid." Xu Sanshi nodded, then said proudly, "According to the description of a surviving titled Douluo in my family, I also know the ins and outs of the matter. Originally, I would only tell you if Bei Bei begged me, but since you asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you."
Beibei was speechless for a moment. "Just say it already, stop fooling around. If you won't say it, I will. It's like nobody knows."
"Hmph, since that's the case, then I won't keep you in suspense any longer," Xu Sanshi paused, then continued, "Last night, Jing Hongchen and a group of Mingde Hall experts encountered countless powerful figures as soon as they left. The fight was fierce and chaotic, and in the end, even the Guardian Hands of the Sun Moon Empire, the Terror Claw Soul Guide Army, and the Star Luo Army were mobilized."
"The most outrageous thing is that countless powerful soul beasts from the far north also came here by some unknown method to rescue the Snow Empress. This even alarmed Marshal Xingluo. Originally, the invincible Marshal Xingluo had suppressed everything, but unfortunately, the Snow Empress used a sacrifice in her desperate situation, which brought everything to a standstill."
"The invincible Marshal Xingluo was ultimately no match for the power of the rules. I only learned today that the Soul Beast Sacrifice creates an absolute static zone, where everyone except the Soul Beasts can move freely. My idol died so tragically."
"Among those people yesterday, there was actually someone who was just about to break through his cultivation level but didn't get a soul ring. Holy crap, did this guy kick his drug habit? How could he tolerate this? My idol, you died such a tragic death!"
"No way, something so exciting actually happened yesterday?"
"Don't think too much about it. Two days of rest will allow us to adjust properly. Xingling's soul power has reached its limit, and she can now obtain her fifth soul ring and become a Soul King. That's why Teacher Wang Yan readily approved the leave. Don't worry, it won't delay the competition."
"That's right, that's right!" Xu Sanshi's voice rang out immediately.
"Come on, I'll take you guys to the city for a stroll, but remember not to laugh too loudly. Marshal Xingluo has quite a high reputation in Xingluo City."
After hearing Beibei's words, Wang Dong's worries completely disappeared.
Since the Celestials aren't here, I'll go have some fun for a couple of days.
Starlight Hotel, the location of the Royal Soul Instructor Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Old Ma's face was now ashen.
Is the information accurate?
"How long does it take for the Empire's orders to reach you?"
On his chest was a level nine auxiliary soul tool for long-distance transmission, similar to the voice soul tool from Starlight Auction House, except that this transmission distance was much greater.
A clear, mechanical sound came from the other side.
"The Red Dust Hall Master, the Mingde Hall's subordinates, and the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Corps have all been captured by the soul beasts of the far north. At the speed of these soul beast kings, they are probably almost at the far north by now."
At that moment, inquiries came from the other side.
"What is the Star Luo Empire's attitude?"
After a moment of contemplation, Old Ma could only convey Xu Changsheng's exact words to the other side.
"The losses of my Star Luo Empire are far greater than yours. Compensation is absolutely impossible. The death of my Star Luo Marshal alone is something that even a hundred level-nine soul masters cannot compare to."
"However, the Star Luo Empire has agreed to the rescue plan you discussed. Not only me, but also the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire have agreed. Many of their powerful figures have also been captured by the soul beasts of the far north. This is a disgrace to the human race and must be washed away with blood."
Mingdu, the Crown Prince's Palace.
Xu Tianran sat at his desk, holding an old-fashioned book in his hands, reading it. One of his fingers kept tapping on the desk surface, making a thumping sound.
At this moment, he was wearing a voice transmission soul tool on his ear, which was the final transmission terminal.
His subordinates would compile the data, integrate the information, and then send it to him. Of course, this was a public channel; his private, clandestine transmission terminals would not be used here.
The soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire was not yet advanced enough to allow direct communication across a country. Xu Tianran was able to achieve such a long-distance conversation because there were countless transit stations in between.
He listened, muttering to himself.
"The Snow Empress offered sacrifices, Marshal Xingluo died, and the soul beasts went berserk, abducting everyone. Elder He, how credible do you think this story is?"
Old He looked serious. Xu Tianran never asked meaningless questions. He had followed Xu Tianran for many years and could also guess his thoughts. In just a moment, he understood what Xu Tianran wanted to ask.
The first two are already undeniable facts. Through the images in the surviving soul-guided videos, they confirmed that the Star Luo Empire was not lying.
Xu Tianran asked what the chances were of Jing Hongchen still being alive.
"Your Highness, the ruler of the Far North is dead. The soul beasts of the Far North, facing the already exhausted masses, could only manage a horrific massacre. To avenge the Snow Empress, they couldn't possibly have kidnapped her. The most likely scenario is that everyone in the Mingde Hall, as well as the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Corps, has been wiped out."
A faint smile appeared on Xu Tianran's lips.
"What a pity. I quite admire Master Mingde. His power in the empire is at its zenith, and he has reached the pinnacle. Even I have to be mindful of his feelings and fawn over him just to keep my insignificant position as crown prince."
After Xu Tianran finished speaking, a morbid excitement appeared on his face.
"However, it's good that he's dead. I'll be able to take Mingdetang over soon."
"And Your Highness, what about the rescue?"
After pondering for a moment, Old He, dressed in black, inquired about the rescue plan.
"Go, of course I'll go, and on a grand scale. I want the entire Sun Moon Empire, the Mingde Hall, and the Hongchen Clan to see my sincerity. Besides, the Terrorclaw Soul Guide Corps is the empire's protector. As the crown prince, I certainly can't stand idly by. Since the Star Luo Empire wants to put on a show, then I'll play along until the very end."
