Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 73 Elemental Crystals
The second item was also sold to Shrek Academy for $655 million.

After the members of the Sun Moon Empire vented their frustrations, Yu Yu began to soothe them.

The next item up for auction enraged the Sun Moon Empire once again. Was this an auction, or an attempt to humiliate us?

The Mountain-Splitting Cannon, as an eighth-level soul tool, is as powerful as a Title Douluo.

Twelve fixed-mount soul-guided shells, earth-shattering cannons, were something they could no longer tolerate.

"What's going on? I won't say anything about the level eight Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, but twelve fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, which are close to level nine Heaven-Opening Earth-Splitting Cannons, they dare to put such high-level soul guides out for sale. I think it's time for Mingde Hall to have a good clean-up."

The rest of the people also had anger in their eyes, and they wished they could return to Sun and Moon immediately to report the news that high-level soul guides had flowed into the black market to the empire, so that those traitors would be beheaded!

The next item lifted their spirits somewhat: a gemstone-like object, multicolored, octagonal in shape, and shimmering with dazzling iridescence. No one knew what this gemstone was, but it looked extraordinary.

"Elemental Crystals".

Gu Yuena was also shocked by this item.

"My lord, what are elemental crystals?"

"It was a product recorded in ancient times, a very special gemstone formed from multiple elements, called elemental crystal. This allows people to perceive one of the elements in the elemental gemstone."

"Will the Douluo Continent recognize it?"

"They wouldn't recognize it with their limited knowledge. Elemental gems have a limitation: one must master multiple attributes to comprehend them. Otherwise, it's just an ordinary gem."

The answer was exactly as Gu Yuena had said: the starting price was very low, much lower than the previous two items, selling for only 10,000 gold soul coins.

Gu Yuena bought it directly for 30,000. Shrek Academy competed with Gu Yuena for it, but gave up when the price dropped to 20,000.

Gu Yuena currently controls the elements: fire, water, wind, light, ice, earth, and space.

I don't know what kind of elements I'll be given. I can only experience this once, so it's natural that I'm a little disappointed.

Even without relying on her martial soul, Xia Die can still manipulate attributes, giving her more control over them than Gu Yuena.

Ice, death, quantum, space, time, chaos, light, darkness, fate.

"Sister Nana, why are you filming this? It doesn't seem to be of any use."

"Don't worry, it will work. You'll see in a bit."

There's nothing else worth seeing, and the Sun Moon Empire isn't particularly interesting either; it's mostly just level six or seven soul tools.

Soon it was the turn of the items containing soul bones to be auctioned.

"how come……"

"Despicable humans."

The Hyotei within Polycia was filled with rage.

Snow Empress, Bolysia, and Xia Die all knew that beneath the red cloth lay the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

The soul bone on the screen was emerald green, with an emerald green halo flowing and undulating on it, as if it contained emerald green liquid.

Judging from its appearance, this is a left arm bone, its emerald green body emanating a faint white mist. On the emerald green surface of this arm bone, there seem to be tiny, translucent crystals, almost like gemstones.

"Distinguished guests, it is an honor to introduce our ninth item for today's auction. As you can see, it is a soul bone."

The soul bone you see here is the most exquisite piece we've found in recent years at our Starlight Auction House. After acquiring it, we initially chose to keep it as a treasure, never intending to put it up for auction. It's simply too precious and extremely rare.

We will be auctioning three soul bones this time, and this is one of them.

Next, Xu Jiujiu explained in detail the three drawbacks of this soul bone: it can only be absorbed by ice-attribute soul masters, its soul bone skills are already solidified, and its age is only between 50,000 and 70,000 years. She then introduced its advantages: the soul bone originated from the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the royal family of the far north; absorbing it can greatly enhance physical attributes and ice attributes; and absorbing it grants the user the fixed soul skill Ice Explosion, a skill considered divine.

Of course, Polysia possesses the Ice Explosion Technique. The 400,000-year-old Ice Emperor's soul spirit bestowed upon Polysia six soul skills, two soul rings, and a 400,000-year-old torso bone.

The so-called ice explosion is to make the ice explode like a cannonball. Normally, as long as there is ice, an ice explosion can be achieved. The more ice there is and the higher the quality, the greater the power of the explosion!
Even a tiny ice particle can trigger an explosion.

If ice is injected into a Soul Master's body before using Ice Explosion, the effect will definitely be much more terrifying than the Corpse Explosion of the Epic Soul King Death Messenger, who powerfully killed two Shrek Academy members and seriously injured two others.

The advantage of corpse explosion is that as long as there is a corpse, it can be detonated directly, but if there is no corpse, it will be useless. If this soul skill is used in war, the effect is still considerable.

However, it's not as strong as Xia Die's third soul skill, which is a direct soul-locking skill that can lock even the titled Douluo or Limit Douluo.

The Ice Blast spell can cause an explosion whether the target is a corpse or a living body, as long as ice is injected into its body. Even if no ice is injected, ice can be used to cover the surrounding area before using Ice Blast.

If hailstones could fall from the sky during a war, their tiny ice particles penetrating the blood vessels, and then ice explosions were used, this soul skill alone could directly overturn the battlefield!
Overall, Ice Explosion is definitely stronger than Corpse Explosion.

If used properly, it can often have the effect of turning decay into something miraculous.

The Ice Blast skill is a soul skill that only the royal family of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan has a very small chance of possessing. Even the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the strongest member of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, does not have this soul skill in her innate soul skills. If the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion had the Ice Blast skill, she would be an invincible existence in the snow-covered far north!

But his younger sister unexpectedly acquired the Ice Blast spell, which was quite surprising.

In other words, as long as the Ice Empress has the soul skill of Ice Explosion, she will be the leader of the three kings in the Far North instead of the Snow Empress. With this soul skill, she can even fight against the most ferocious beast in the continent, Emperor Tian, ​​in the Far North!

However, mere confrontation is not enough to defeat him. No one dares to venture into the Star Dou Great Forest now. What awaits you is not Di Tian, ​​but a strike from the Silver Dragon King, who is at the half-step God King level.

Of course, this soul bone also has a major drawback, which has not been explained for a long time, and they themselves are unaware of it, that it cannot be absorbed by anyone other than the possessor of ultimate ice.

Meng Hongchen looked at Xia Die and thought to himself that if Xiao A Die had this soul bone, he would be even more powerful and become the most dazzling genius in the world!
Although the Butterfly doesn't have Ice Blast, that doesn't mean it won't in the future.

Moreover, the ice elemental power that he and his sister possessed was not even within the scope of the Douluo Continent; it was incomparable even to the ice elemental power of gods.

However, he has not yet entered the realm of the laws of ice.

I haven't reached the Commander level yet, and my original strength wasn't enough. According to the system, I just need to reach that highest level.

So, without a second thought, she looked at Yu Yu and said solemnly, "Teacher Yu, this 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone is extremely rare. Buy it and let the academy pay for it first. I'll ask Grandpa to make up for it when I get back."

"Of course, we must get this soul bone no matter what!" Yu Yu said firmly.

There aren't many people who know about Xia Die and Bolysia's martial souls. Apart from those who are very familiar with Xia Die, like Ni Ye, Ye Yulin doesn't know anything about them.

However, it almost ended up costing 100 million.

The next one was also a soul bone, but unlike the Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone, this one shimmered with a brilliant crimson-gold metallic luster. Its surface was covered with fine, scale-like diamond patterns, with a shimmering liquid gold glow flowing between the patterns. The skeleton had a streamlined structure, with sharp, triangular pyramidal metal spikes embedded at the joints, each end extending into three translucent golden energy blades, their surfaces crackling with fine arcs of electricity.

Xu Jiujiu said, "Please take a look, everyone. This is the tenth item in this auction, and it will be auctioned separately from the eleventh item."

Another item was also brought out for auction.

The Soul Bone is a dazzling orange-red, as radiant as a burning flame. Its surface is covered with intricate and exquisite golden patterns, resembling flowing magma and containing immense energy. The Soul Bone is shaped like a gigantic wing skeleton, with a wingspan of several meters. Each feather is lifelike, as if poised to take flight at any moment. Along the edges of the wings are inlaid transparent crystals that refract iridescent light and flicker with fiery brilliance, seemingly proclaiming the powerful fire element it contains.

"These are our items for this auction. As you can see, you may have already guessed that it is a metal-attribute and a fire-attribute bone. That's right, both are soul bones that are 80,000 years old."

The metal-attribute soul bone comes from the 80,000-year-old soul beast "Starfall Golden Hou," a rare soul beast that inhabits the northwestern forests of the Douling Empire.

The Starfall Golden Hou is adept at compressing rare metals it ingests into energy projectiles for firing. In battle, it uses its internal "star core" to cause spatial collapse, trapping enemies in metal cages before unleashing devastating attacks. Because it often causes meteorite falls from high altitudes, it is known as a "walking natural disaster."

The skill it possesses is called Golden Explosion. Upon activating its soul skill, a thick layer of meteorite iron phosphorus armor instantly covers its left arm, forcibly stripping and compressing the metal elements within a ten-foot radius into a three-meter diameter golden sphere. Chain-like energy continuously coils around the sphere's surface, triggering an ultra-high-pressure explosion when a critical point is reached. The explosion not only generates a metal blade wave that tears through space but also leaves a gravitational field lasting for three seconds, pulling enemies within range to the explosion's center. Simultaneously, the remaining metal fragments form a continuous rain of suspended blades that attack the target.

Furthermore, it can control the gold element to produce a very powerful explosive effect.
