Douluo Continent: Snow Lotus, Ice Dragon, Ice Phoenix, My Three Lifetimes Martial Soul

When Sword Douluo Chen Xin left, the sword intent, which seemed to be so tangible, still lingered in the ice cave, carrying the sharpness to cut through everything and the reassuring protection.

He instructed Lin Yi to wait where he was and not to move rashly. This was the core area of ​​the far north, extremely dangerous. Even Soul Saints and Soul Douluos would face a near-death experience if they entered.

He needed to search for and confirm the exact location and condition of the top-tier soul beast with nearly 20,000 years of cultivation to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged deep in the ice cave, concealing his aura as instructed, silently circulating his soul power to adapt to the power increase brought about by breaking through to level sixty. At the same time, he spread his mental power out like a spider web, vigilantly observing everything around him.

In the heart of the far north, silence itself is an invisible pressure, a deathly stillness where all things wither away, and only the cold wind and ice and snow remain eternally.

However, this deathly silence did not last long.

About an incense stick's time after Chen Xin left, a strange, indescribable, and immense spiritual fluctuation, like a warm current, silently seeped in, completely out of place in this frigid environment.

Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife. His soul power surged instantly, his Snow Lotus Martial Soul and Ice Dragon Martial Soul concealed, ready to respond at any moment.

He could sense that this spiritual fluctuation was as vast as the sea. Although it appeared gentle, its essential level was terrifyingly high!

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, human boy..." A strange voice, sounding somewhat lazy yet also a little anxious, rang out directly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light flashed, and a round, plump, silkworm-like creature, its body crystal clear like carved white jade and emitting a faint golden light, suddenly appeared in the ice cave.

It looks harmless, even somewhat comical, but its small eyes gleam with a wisdom and world-weariness that are completely different from its appearance.

"Who are you?" Alarm bells rang in Lin Yi's mind. To be able to break through the sword intent blockade left by Sword Douluo so easily and appear directly in front of him, this was definitely no ordinary person!

"Hehe, who am I? You'll be shocked when I tell you!" The silkworm's voice carried a hint of smugness, yet also an undeniable weakness. "I am the one and only Heaven and Earth, with a million years of cultivation... the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!"

A million-year-old soul beast!

Lin Yi's pupils contracted sharply. No matter how strong his will was, hearing these four words stirred up a storm in his heart.

On the Douluo Continent, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is already a legend, and a million-year-old... that exists only in theory!

"What...what do you want to do?" Lin Yi forced himself to calm down. The other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Otherwise, with his millions of years of cultivation, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wriggled its plump body, its voice filled with irresistible allure and a hint of urgency: "Brother's time is running out, so let's get straight to the point! I've got my eye on you! Kid, you've got something incredible hidden inside you... three martial souls! All of them are extreme ice attributes! You're practically the perfect vessel!"

Its small eyes gleamed: "I'm going to sacrifice myself for you! I'll give you all my cultivation and wisdom spirit rings accumulated over millions of years!"

Sacrifice? A million-year soul ring?

Lin Yi felt his breathing become somewhat sluggish.

This is like a pie falling from the sky, heavier than the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

"Why did you choose me?" Lin Yi was not overwhelmed by the huge surprise; instead, he became even more vigilant.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially not from a million-year-old soul beast.

"Because I've had enough!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was choked with sobs and anger. "I have millions of years of cultivation, but I have no fighting power. I'm always being chased around like a tonic by those guys! I don't want to die! I want to live and see a wider world! The God Realm! Yes, the God Realm!"

Its voice became incredibly serious and eager: "Boy, I can sense that you are a person with great opportunities and great fortune! You have the potential to become a god! I'm betting everything on you, sacrificing myself to become your soul ring and reside in your body. The condition is that after you become a god, you must take me with you to the realm of the gods!"

Becoming a god?

Lin Yi's eyes flickered. He knew the plot and naturally knew that the God Realm was real, and that Tang San would become a god in the future.

As for himself, he possesses a Three Lives Martial Soul and innate level 30 soul power. If he were to be further blessed by a million-year soul ring... becoming a god does not seem so far away!

"Okay! I promise you!" Lin Yi agreed without much hesitation.

This was an opportunity he couldn't refuse, and absolutely couldn't miss! "If I, Lin Yi, am fortunate enough to enter the realm of gods in the future, I will definitely take you with me!"

"Haha! That's great! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wriggled excitedly. "Well then, let's begin! Relax your mind and accept my power! By the way, you have three martial souls. Which one should I attach my soul ring to? That snow lotus? Or that little ice dragon? Or... that even more powerful little bird you're hiding in your right hand?"

It had indeed seen through all of his trump cards! Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was his greatest secret, one that even Sword Douluo hadn't noticed, yet this Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had seen through it at a glance.

Which martial soul should the million-year soul ring be attached to?

The Snow Lotus Martial Soul is the main Martial Soul on the surface, with extremely strong auxiliary abilities. If a million-year Soul Ring is added, its auxiliary effects will undergo a qualitative leap, and it may even gain heaven-defying abilities.

The Ice Dragon Martial Soul is a powerful offensive type with limitless potential. Sword Douluo once strictly forbade the addition of a Soul Ring, but if it were a million-year Soul Ring... its power would be unimaginable.

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is his deepest hidden trump card, and it is also the top-tier ultimate ice attribute, possibly even slightly higher in quality than the Ice Dragon.

In a flash, Lin Yi made a decision.

The Snow Lotus Martial Soul follows a pure support route. Currently, its five spirit ring skills have formed a perfect system. Adding a million-year spirit ring prematurely would make the Snow Lotus Martial Soul too conspicuous and prematurely revealing the million-year spirit ring would be a path to death.

The Ice Dragon Martial Soul is all about offense; if it can obtain a million-year soul ring, its attack power will skyrocket.

However, Sword Douluo's warning was still ringing in his ears: if he attached a powerful spirit ring to his second spirit too early, his body might not be able to withstand the backlash.

Even if he could withstand it, a second spirit with a spirit ring that is over ten thousand years old would be too astonishing and would not fit his original intention of hiding his strength.

Therefore, the best choice is the unknown third martial soul - the Ice Phoenix!

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul also possesses extreme ice attributes, which align with the power attributes of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Using it as the vessel for a million-year soul ring allows for maximizing the absorption and utilization of this power while also concealing this strongest trump card even deeper.

The martial soul he has never revealed before, and the terrifying spirit rings attached to it, are completely unknown to outsiders! This will be his true weapon to turn the tide when he faces desperate situations in the future!

"My third martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, is sacrificed to me!" Lin Yi said in a deep voice. At the same time, with a thought, the Ice Phoenix martial soul imprint, which had been hidden deep in his right palm and wrapped in layers of soul power and spiritual power, appeared clearly and actively for the first time.

It was an extremely exquisite and lifelike ice-blue phoenix pattern, exuding nobility, coldness and endless icy rhythm.

"Ice Phoenix! Excellent! It's just as good as the Ice Dragon! Even more spiritual! Perfect!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shouted excitedly, "That's it! Relax, accept me!"

As soon as the words fell, the round body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly burst forth with an incomparably dazzling golden light! The light was not dazzling, but rather incredibly gentle and warm, filled with a vast spiritual power and life essence like a starry sea.

Its massive body began to become illusory in the golden light, transforming into the purest torrent of energy, flowing towards the Ice Phoenix Mark in Lin Yi's right palm like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

"Remember your promise...take me to the realm of the gods..."

The final sound of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm echoed in Lin Yi's sea of ​​consciousness, carrying a sense of relief, anticipation, and a hint of barely perceptible weariness.

boom--!!!

An indescribable surge of immense energy instantly rushed into Lin Yi's body, but it was not a violent impact. Instead, it was like a mother's embrace, warmly and inclusively nourishing every inch of his meridians and every part of his soul.

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul emitted an unprecedented roar and tremor. The ice-blue phoenix patterns seemed to come alive, radiating a noble and powerful aura, greedily absorbing the nourishment of millions of years of cultivation.

A phantom of a soul ring, indescribable in color, seemingly containing the stars and universe, radiating a faint platinum luster, yet carrying the unique pressure of a million-year-old soul beast, began to slowly condense and take shape around the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul!

At the same time, Lin Yi could clearly feel his mental power surging wildly at an alarming rate! His consciousness seemed to be infinitely elevated, and his perception range expanded dramatically, making him aware of every subtle change in the wind and snow outside the ice cave! His mind was also filled with countless profound knowledge about the application of mental power and the essence of ice attributes! This was a side benefit of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year cultivation—the Wisdom Soul Ring!

The energy infusion continues, and the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is undergoing a transformative metamorphosis.

Lin Yi was immersed in a mysterious and wonderful state, forgetting time and where he was.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of energy was completely integrated into the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, the million-year soul ring, which emitted a faint platinum luster and contained infinite mysteries and power, was completely stabilized and quietly floated above the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. Only then did Lin Yi slowly open his eyes.

In the depths of his eyes, it seemed as if a river of stars flowed and an ice phoenix soared, so profound that it was breathtaking.

He gently clenched his right hand, feeling the terrifying power contained in the ice phoenix mark on his palm, a power capable of destroying the world, as well as the million-year soul ring that, though hidden, truly existed and was unprecedented in the Douluo Continent!

He successfully absorbed the sacrifice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and became the first spirit ring of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, which is also the first spirit ring in a million years in history!

Furthermore, his mental strength had reached an extremely terrifying level, and his soul power had increased several times over.

Just then, a sharp sword intent approached rapidly from afar.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin has returned.

With a thought, Lin Yi's Ice Phoenix Mark on his right palm, along with the astonishing million-year soul ring, vanished without a trace.

He forcibly suppressed the surge of spiritual power around him, only revealing a slightly stronger fluctuation of soul power than before, still at level sixty, waiting for the sixth soul ring belonging to the Snow Lotus Martial Soul.

His face returned to its previous calm, as if the life-changing adventure had never happened.

However, the deep-seated confidence in his eyes could never be erased.

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, the first ring in a million years. From this moment on, his path was different.

"The soul beast has been found!"
