Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 104 The Ice Dragon King's Assistance

This is because Huo Yuhao's main focus is not actually on ice attributes.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao could not allow his body to undergo fundamental changes due to non-core abilities.

Therefore, although forcibly increasing one's physical strength through the tempering of life energy and extreme ice to adapt to the extreme ice attribute is far more difficult than transforming one's body into a constitution adapted to the ice attribute.

Moreover, doing so would cause a greater loss of life energy within the Life Gold and would create a large demand for high-purity ice attribute energy, but Huo Yuhao still did it without hesitation.

Even if he fails, Huo Yuhao still has a backup plan. He only needs to use the Eye of Truth to deconstruct the second martial soul and dissipate the second martial soul that is not yet fully formed.

Doing this would only mean losing a dispensable second martial soul, but the life energy absorbed and the strengthened body gained through this opportunity would belong to Huo Yuhao himself.

With this result, it is already worth the trip. And if it succeeds, the result is self-evident: it would be a win-win situation.

After all, the life energy in the living gold is meaningless if it is just sitting there; its greatest use is to transform it into real power.

However, the process of Huo Yuhao condensing his martial soul also caused problems because Huo Yuhao absorbed all the essence of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

Currently, Huo Yuhao's physical enhancement level is similar to the formation level of his martial soul, both around 60%, still quite a distance from perfection.

However, without the replenishment of external energy, Huo Yuhao's own soul power was insufficient to continue, which put him in a somewhat awkward position.

However, Huo Yuhao seized an opportunity through the Eye of Truth. Without hesitation, he directly manipulated the power of destiny to unleash a powerful attack.

As the threads of fate wrapped around Huo Yuhao, he was briefly blessed with a large amount of luck.

Within the Starry Sky Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion once again sensed the change in fortune.

However, this time was different from the past. Huo Yuhao used an enormous amount of luck power, accounting for one-tenth of the total luck of the Star Dou Great Forest, which naturally made it sense.

"Found you, you little thief!"

The three-eyed golden lion ground its teeth, sensing Huo Yuhao's location through the resonance of the power of destiny.

However, she did not explain to any of the ferocious beasts, but left the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest alone because she had some ulterior motive.

Meanwhile, due to the fluctuations in the power of destiny, all the ferocious beasts in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest were also somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, they did not notice the departure of the Imperial Beast, and by the time they realized it, it was already too late.

The words are divided into two parts.

Although the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was sealed by the Poison-Undying Soul Power, it was still able to perceive changes in the outside world normally.

It watched as Huo Yuhao recklessly absorbed the essence of its ten thousand years of cultivation. At first, it only felt heartache.

That's because, apart from the purest 99% ice attribute energy, Huo Yuhao...

Huo Yuhao rejected the rest of the energy within the essence of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, letting it dissipate into the air.

In this way, about 80% of the energy in the essence of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass is actually removed in the process, so how could it not feel heartbroken?

However, as Huo Yuhao's aura gradually rose, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass felt a shock that was beyond words.

"How is it possible for a human Soul Master to achieve a purer level of ice attribute than I do?!"

However, as the essence of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was completely absorbed, Huo Yuhao's aura began to weaken.

In the eyes of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, this decline was undoubtedly a sign that Huo Yuhao was about to fail.

But the next moment, under the influence of fate, a turning point occurred.

Within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, the spring water of the Ice Eye surged, and an aura both familiar and unfamiliar to the immortal herbs was aroused by the surrounding energy.

It's the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King! Upon sensing the familiar aura of the Ice Dragon, this already dwindling remnant soul reacted instinctively!

Meanwhile, due to the energy dissipated from the essence of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, the land where Huo Yuhao was located was also tainted by the power of extreme ice, forming a passage that could directly connect with the Eye of the Ice Spring.

A giant dragon, formed from the lake water and over three meters long, hovered above the icy spring. Its entire body was ice-blue and radiated dazzling light. As it appeared, a chilling aura spread outwards.

With the arrival of the frigid air, even the immortal herbs growing beside the icy spring felt an indescribable sense of oppression. Many of the lower-level herbs showed signs of withering due to the sudden temperature change.

However, many plants also showed signs of evolution due to the harsh cold. With the baptism of extreme cold, their vitality was stimulated and greatly increased.

The arrival of this extremely cold aura was like a timely rain for Huo Yuhao, nourishing his still-developing martial soul.

Although the Ice Dragon King has long since perished, it was once a powerful being at the level of a god-king.

Even if only a fragment of the dragon soul remains.

Even though they still had to endure the pressure of the laws of the Douluo Star plane.

However, the level of the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King still far surpassed that of the so-called Limit Douluo, reaching the level of a god.

Seeing this, Du Busi, who had been protecting Huo Yuhao, changed his expression drastically, but dared not make any rash moves.

After all, the stronger he became as a Super Douluo, the more he could feel the insurmountable gap between himself and the ice dragon soul in front of him.

Fortunately, seeing Huo Yuhao's increasingly powerful condition, Du Busi breathed a sigh of relief, because he discovered that this ice dragon soul did not seem to have its own consciousness, nor did it have any malice.

On the contrary, the other party's appearance seemed to help Huo Yuhao, causing Huo Yuhao's aura to become stronger and stronger.

Indeed, this was the case. The Ice Dragon Martial Soul, which already constituted most of Huo Yuhao's body, was gradually taking shape under the influence of the Ice Dragon King's aura.

Moreover, due to the appearance of the Ice Dragon King, the original martial soul structure within the Ice Dragon Martial Soul, which was merely a copy of what Huo Yuhao had created, is gradually undergoing subtle changes.

If the initial prototype of Huo Yuhao's martial soul was a newly born dragon, then the Ice Dragon martial soul that Huo Yuhao is about to form is a true Ice Dragon King!

With the formation of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao also gained a deeper understanding of dragons at the Ice Dragon King level.

Compared to the normal process of having to spend time and effort to analyze and deduce, this is much easier.

At this moment, the evolution of the martial soul brought about by the aura of the Ice Dragon King allowed Huo Yuhao to understand the composition of the Ice Dragon King's bloodline from the clearest first-person perspective.

The difference between the Ice Dragon Martial Soul and the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul is as indescribable as the difference between the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. The ice crystals that had been clinging to him turned into a shower of ice powder as he stood up, dissipating into the air.

The somewhat weakened remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King retreated back into the eye of the Ice Spring to recuperate.

The group of immortal herbs who witnessed this scene were all extremely shocked, because they did not know that such a powerful being was hidden in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire where they lived.

Since there is a remnant soul of an ice dragon in the Ice Eye, it can be inferred that there must also be another corresponding remnant soul in the Fire Eye.

Although the various immortal herbs can utilize the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well based on their own attributes, they have not yet explored the true origin of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

And how to summon the dragon soul for help, and how to use life force to nourish and enrich the dragon soul.

In the original timeline, these were things that the immortal herbs only came into contact with and studied nearly ten thousand years before the Dragon King Legend era.

However, with Huo Yuhao and Du Busi arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, these immortal herbs naturally had no more chances.

Huo Yuhao was quite satisfied with the necromancy inscription he had made on the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King during the brief moment when his aura merged with the Ice Dragon King's.

The spell Huo Yuhao just inscribed is not high-level in necromancy; it only has the effect of communicating with and being friendly with the dead.

But that was enough, because after countless years of trials, the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King had lost even a trace of intelligence.

This simple technique of affinity was enough for Huo Yuhao to interfere with the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul's thoughts to some extent.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao also sensed that if given the opportunity, he could even utilize the compatibility of his martial soul.

He would refine the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King into a form similar to a Wisdom Soul Ring, making it the Soul Ring of his second Martial Soul.

However weak it may be, the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King still possesses the strength of a god, which is probably at least equivalent to a million-year soul ring.

Huo Yuhao is indeed unable to absorb and integrate it now, so he can only let it continue to be nurtured in the ice spring.

Huo Yuhao scanned the surrounding immortal herbs, and finally his gaze settled on the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

At this moment, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass appeared exceptionally excited, and even its petals, which were like ice crystals, were trembling uncontrollably.

Compared to other immortal herbs, what Huo Yuhao just did undoubtedly gave this immortal herb with the ultimate ice attribute an indescribable shock.

The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul possesses 100% affinity for ice attributes, representing the ultimate in ice.

Just as the ultimate ice is the lifelong pursuit of ice-attribute soul masters, what Huo Yuhao achieved was undoubtedly the lifelong pursuit of the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass.

To be able to witness this scene, and even to have been involved in it myself.

After all, Huo Yuhao was able to start by absorbing the essence of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass in the first half of the journey, so how could the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass not be excited?

"Human, can you tell me how you did it?" The usually cold voice of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grassland sounded somewhat chaotic at this moment.

When Du Busi saw Huo Yuhao succeed, the happy expression on his face immediately collapsed after hearing the words of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

Poison Immortal raised an eyebrow, his eyes scanning the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass with hostility: "Who do you think you are? I'm already being lenient by not giving you to Yuhao as a tonic, and you still dare to ask me all sorts of questions?"

Upon hearing this, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grassland's initial excitement cooled considerably.

As Du Busi said, they are now practically prisoners, so what right do they have to negotiate with others?

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Master, there's no need for that. This place already belongs to my Body Sect."

"These immortal herbs are native to this place, and their existence is also beneficial to the growth of plants in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

"So as long as these immortal herbs don't do anything dangerous, maintaining a good relationship with them will benefit both of us."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the other intelligent 100,000-year-old immortal herbs were practically in tears.

Listen to that, listen to that, how well said! In a sudden shift from their fear of the indestructible poison, their goodwill towards Huo Yuhao increased dramatically.

Poison Undying, being a reasonable person, immediately put on a show of bravado, perfectly playing the role of the bad cop, creating a stark contrast with Huo Yuhao and leaving these naive immortals completely bewildered.

After exchanging a few words with Du Busi, Huo Yuhao looked back at the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he finally shook his head and said to the Octagonal Ice Grass, "Want to know how I did it? I can't explain it to you in detail right now, but if you're willing to become my second spirit ring, that's not out of the question."

Upon hearing this, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was taken aback. Just as it was about to refuse, it saw Huo Yuhao's martial soul directly possess it, with the six soul rings of its first martial soul circulating among it.

The fourth spirit ring lit up, and then a semi-transparent six-tailed fox leaped beside Huo Yuhao, making soft whimpering sounds.

Indeed, as Huo Yuhao's physical and mental strength gradually increased, his fourth spirit ring naturally absorbed a portion of the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

This completed the enhancement of the spirit ring's age, and the five-tailed spirit fox thus evolved into a six-tailed spirit fox.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate and sacrifice yourself for me, you can become my soul ring."

"Then I'm 80% confident that I can preserve your intelligence and give you a relatively free form, just like Xiaobai," Huo Yuhao said.

Huo Yuhao then added, "You can discuss the specifics with Xiaobai. As a mythical beast, the spirit fox, you should be more convinced of its words than I am."

After a brief exchange with the spirit fox, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass fell silent. Its mind was in turmoil, unsure whether to trust the human before it.

Unlike in the original story, Huo Yuhao, who broke through the barrier through brute force with the help of Du Busi, naturally could not influence these 100,000-year-old immortal herbs through emotions.

However, similarly, due to the fact that the poison cannot kill, the potential goodwill these immortal herbs currently hold for Huo Yuhao is actually far greater than when Huo Yuhao first entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the original work.

Moreover, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass in the original work always harbored a longing for the outside world.

Under the persuasion of the spirit fox, and with Huo Yuhao's second martial soul being of god-like level, just like in the original story, the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass was tempted.
