Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

(4208 words)
"I felt something calling me, that's why I came here!"

Ye Chen said that although there was indeed a summons, it wasn't that strong.

He couldn't possibly say that he was reading novels in his past life. Although he hadn't read the current plot, he had seen some of the current plot online before.

"Ice Emperor, what's wrong? What is the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave? And what is the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal?"

Seeing the worry on Ye Chen's face, Hyotei took a deep breath, her breasts heaving.

After calming himself down, he said in a deep voice;
"The Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave is the ultimate place of ice attributes, the ultimate of the ultimate. Let me give you an example, and you'll understand. If the Snow Empress and I could have found a Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave before becoming your soul spirits, then we would have had no way to find any other way to break through."

With our strength, we will surely be able to break through the bottleneck of that time, and in the near future, we will definitely be able to compete with the Beast God Emperor Tian.

Simply put, the Mysterious Ice Cave is a treasure trove for those of us who cultivate ice-attribute abilities or for spirit beasts.

The reason why the Beast God Di Tian was able to break through the bottleneck eight times and become an invincible being was because he possessed a treasure trove—the Lake of Life at the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest's core. He achieved his current status by being nourished by the immense life force within the Lake of Life.

At this point, Hyotei's face showed envy.

At the same time, I felt extremely unsettled and had many regrets.

They should have left the far north and searched more thoroughly in the first place.

But then again, who would have thought that beneath a dry well there would be a cave of ice that has stood for millennia?
"In fact, the Lake of Life can nourish any type of soul beast, not just him, because it is a life attribute. Conversely, the life attribute and his own dark attribute are not completely compatible."

Even under such circumstances, he was still able to cultivate to the point of 890,000 years of cultivation. And the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave is a perfect match for us ice-attribute soul beasts; its preciousness is in no way inferior to the Lake of Life.

If one can cultivate here, break through bottlenecks, and even potentially surpass the Beast God Emperor Tian.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, his heart filled with excitement.

At the core of the Lake of Life, there exists a great quantity of the Gold of Life.

That place practically embodies the life force of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

The Ice Emperor said that the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave was comparable to the Lake of Life.

Its value is self-evident.

At this moment, Ye Chen remembered the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Responding to Ye Chen's call, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also appeared beside him.

"Tianmeng, the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Marrow you ate back then came from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Cave, didn't it!"

As soon as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm appeared, Ye Chen asked.

“That’s right. The most precious part of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave is the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow. I, an ordinary ice silkworm, was able to cultivate into a million-year soul beast thanks to the benefits brought by the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow. That’s why Bingbing chased after me back then.”

"Humph!"

Hyotei snorted coldly after hearing this:
"If I had obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow back then, the Beast God might not have become Emperor Tian, ​​and the Snow Emperor might not have been either..."

"Hey, Bingbing, don't blame fate or others. It's just a matter of timing, destiny, and luck."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said leisurely.

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Ice Emperor shouted angrily, and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately fell silent.

I'm still afraid of getting beaten up.

Although his mental strength is terrifying, and he is a million-year-old soul beast, he doesn't know how to fight at all.

Hyotei said;
"The Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Cave is actually formed from the mysterious ice that has been buried underground for more than ten thousand years and has been under tremendous pressure. Although it is said to be ten thousand years, in reality, ten thousand years is just the starting point. It will take at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years."

Moreover, it only has a chance of taking shape under certain circumstances. This Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Cave is accompanied by so many Ice Extreme Divine Crystals that its energy is already quite dispersed, so it's hard to say how much Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow it can produce.

But there must be some, let's look carefully!

At this point, a look of melancholy appeared in Ice Empress's eyes again. How she wished she had encountered the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave before giving up her physical body.

If that were the case, everything would be different.

"Bingbing, don't be sad. Isn't everything fine now?"

At this moment, Xue Di also emerged from Ye Chen's mental world and appeared beside Bing Di.

Although they are all spiritual entities, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ice Emperor, and Snow Emperor all appear to be almost materialized, not much different from real people.

"Ok!"

Hyotei reached out and took Yuki's arm, resting her head on the other's shoulder and nodding obediently.

At this moment, he needs comfort.

"Ice Emperor, what is this Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, and what benefits does it bring us?"

At this moment, Ye Chen asked as he walked forward.

Hyotei removed her head from Yukiteri's shoulder and appeared on Ye Chen's other side, saying:

"Although the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is not as valuable as the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, it is still a rare and precious item."

It is the hardest ice-attribute metal and the most flexible ice-attribute metal. It looks like a crystal, but it already has the ductility of metal.

In your human terms, this is a top-grade rare metal.

Ye Chen nodded, raised his right hand, and a dark golden claw extended a foot-long dark golden blade, which he slashed fiercely at the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal beside him.

A screeching sound rang out, and five sparks flashed, but only a shallow mark was left on the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen looked shocked; it was indeed very hard.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw is almost unparalleled in terms of hardness and sharpness when used for physical attacks against soul beasts.

It's incredible that the Ice Crystal wasn't destroyed.

"How did you carve it out?"

Ye Chen was a little puzzled and looked at Hyotei and Yuki-tei.

"Oh, I remember now, I used the Blade of the Watcher of Life."

As he spoke, he was about to take it out.

But at that moment, Hyotei immediately took his arm:
"We cannot use the Blade of Guardian of Life. All things are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and one thing can subdue another. This Blade of Guardian of Holy Spirit will destroy the internal structure of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal."

"This Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is also the best conductor and amplifier of ice-attribute soul power. Try injecting it with your ultimate ice soul power!"

Ye Chen nodded, quickly put away the Blade of Life Watch, retrieved the Dark Gold Terror Claw, and then placed his palm on the Ice Extreme God Crystal beside him.

He then quickly infused it with the ultimate ice soul power.

At such a low temperature, when I placed my palm on the Ice Crystal, I couldn't feel the coldness at all; it was as if all the chill was contained within it.

Ye Chen was extremely surprised.

As the ultimate ice soul power was slowly injected, his body suddenly trembled.

At this moment, he clearly felt that with the injection of the ultimate ice soul power, an affinity was generated inside the ice crystal.

This affinity, as if it were alive and intelligent, was an emotion that caused a very affectionate emotional fluctuation in his soul power.

Then, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in his hand began to slowly melt.

Sensing this change, he clenched his five fingers, grabbed suddenly, and pulled back forcefully.

He pulled down a large piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and placed it in his hand.

The Ice God Crystal that appeared in her hand emitted a faint, deep blue halo, its light flickering as if it were alive. The Ice Emperor then spoke:
"You can feel it now, right? This Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is called a divine crystal because it has been purified to the point of possessing a certain level of vitality."

Animals and plants are living things, and minerals and metals, once they reach a certain quality, can also give rise to a certain life force and emotion.

However, compared to animals and plants, it is extremely difficult for them to develop this situation.

It seems that the only way to obtain the Ice God Crystal is through your ultimate Ice Soul Power, but the Snow Empress and I are also capable of doing so.

"Let's get started!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he placed his palm on the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal again and began to move.

"Yes, take it all, leave not a single piece behind!"

As Ice Emperor spoke, he and Snow Emperor began collecting Ice Extreme God Crystals.

Pieces of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal were continuously pulled off the stone walls of the cave and then placed into the Starlight Sapphire Storage Ring.

The Ice Extreme Crystal is very peculiar, containing an immense amount of ice-attribute energy.

However, the surface is not cold at all; it feels only slightly cooler than ordinary metal.

Once the soul power is injected, it can immediately activate the ultimate ice-based elemental power within.

Without the control of the ultimate ice soul power, this elemental force of heaven and earth would erupt.

After all the Ice Extreme Crystals were removed and stored in Ye Chen's storage ring, the temperature inside the cave began to rise noticeably.

Just then, a large torrent of water rushed in and crashed towards them.

Without the magical power contained within the Ice Crystal protecting it, and with the entrance still open, the icy spring outside surged forth.

Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm quickly merged into Ye Chen's body.

He then froze himself inside an empty icicle.

He controlled the icicle, sticking it to the cave wall, and waited for the water flow to stabilize before continuing his exploration.

After the water flow stabilized, he broke through the ice and dived into the depths of the cold spring.

The Ice Emperor said that there must be some ancient ice marrow here, no matter how much.

The Ten Thousand Years of Frost Marrow is not only useful to him, but also has varying degrees of benefit to the four great soul spirits: Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass. Naturally, it cannot be given up.

He had made up his mind: once he got out, he would use the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal to make soul tools.

Ordinary Soul Masters may be able to use it with the help of the magic array contained in the Soul Tool.

However, only someone with ice-attribute abilities like him can use this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Marrow.

After some time, Ye Chen appeared one meter above the source of the cold spring and stopped there.

The spiritual energy condensed and transformed into invisible energy, probing into the interior of the cold spring.

His mental power was like his eyes; as long as he could see clearly what was inside the cold spring, he could accurately judge the situation.

To his surprise, when his spiritual energy probed into the spring, he felt as if his spiritual energy had entered a viscous swamp.

Moving forward has become quite difficult, and the mental energy expenditure is enormous.

What's the situation?
This was the first time Ye Chen had encountered such a situation.

He knew that once energy reached a certain level, all paths would lead to the same destination.

Although mental energy is different from elemental energy, it is also a form of energy.

The ice attribute within the icy spring has reached its absolute limit; if his mental energy enters it, it will be affected.

Using the power of the soul core might be able to probe inside, but the consumption of that power would be far too great.

Moreover, the situation inside is unknown, and if things are not handled properly, an accident could happen.

"Let me go and take a look!"

Upon learning of Ye Chen's predicament, Bingdi spoke, then transformed into a ray of light and quietly disappeared into the source of the cold spring.

Her origin lies within Xue's body, and a wisp of her spiritual consciousness enters it. Even if she encounters danger, there will be no major problems, and she will not be greatly affected.

It was the perfect opportunity for him to go down and investigate.

Among the spirits, the one with the closest relationship to Ye Chen is Ice Emperor.

His second martial soul is Ice Emperor, so even if a wisp of his divine consciousness has a problem, it won't be too troublesome.

However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Snow Emperor are different; they are essentially true soul spirits, which makes them prone to problems.

"No problem, come in!"

Not long after, Hyotei emerged from the cold spring and waved excitedly at Ye Chen.

"it is good!"

Ye Chen acted quickly and followed them in.

As soon as I entered the source of the cold spring, I felt as if thousands of steel needles were piercing my body.

The temperature of this cold wave was so low that it was something he had never experienced before.

This extreme chill far surpassed any ice-attribute energy he had ever seen.

Even though he had tempered his body by jumping into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he was only between the extremes of Yang and Yin.

I did not cross the boundary to the Cold Spring.

He felt that the chill here was probably similar to the cold spring in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Immersed in it, Ye Chen's entire skeleton seemed to glow.

With the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso bone and left arm bone protecting it, there were no problems with the left arm and torso.

However, other parts of the body showed obvious stiffness.

At this moment, Snow Empress and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass unleashed their formidable power, absorbing most of the surrounding ice elements and forming a protective layer around Ye Chen's body.

Help him continue diving deeper.

Hyotei led the way.

At this moment, the ultimate ice soul power within Ye Chen's body was greedily absorbing the extreme cold.

Soon, he entered a very small cave, which was only ten square meters in size and about one and a half meters high.

Inside the cave, there are strange ice pillars, more than a dozen of them, crisscrossing each other, some large and some small.

Each icicle was pure white, remaining as white as jade even under the emerald light emanating from Hyotei.

Inside the pristine white icicles, liquid could be faintly seen flowing.

The terrifying chill emanated from these ice pillars.

The chill here is impossible to conceal.

The air here is thick and sticky.

The concentration of ice elements reached an alarming level.

"This is it! This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow!"

Hyotei said with deep emotion, their face full of regret. (End of Chapter)
