Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 134 The Sea Devouring Plan

Soaring through the sky alongside the Ice Dragon King.

A large amount of ice elements gathered in the high sky, forming a howling cold wind.

Ice-blue ice elements swept and swirled around the Ice Dragon King.

Compared to the Snow Maiden, the darling of the far north, the Snow Emperor's solo dance.

At this moment, the Ice Dragon King's control over the ice element was even more domineering.

As if ruling the world, the Ice Dragon King looked down upon the countless beings of the far north from the sky.

Compared to the previous Snow Empress's dance that shook the heavens and earth, attracting ice elements from the far north to spontaneously come to her aid one after another.

The Ice Dragon King's control over the ice element is more like a monarch's absolute command over his subjects.

In terms of ice control alone, the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, which has reached the god-level, is even more naturally gifted than the Snow Empress, who is the Ice and Snow Maiden.

As the ice elements gathered more and more, Xue Di and Di Rui'er could only watch from afar.

Under the control of the Ice Dragon King, vast and pure ice elements converged to form an ice-blue sky.

This also concealed the figures of the Ice Dragon King and Huo Yuhao, who was already riding on the Ice Dragon King.

Through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao's gaze pierced through the gathering ice elements and discerned the magic circle below.

The artificial ice cave that he had previously been quite proud of.

Now, in his eyes, both the runes that make up the magic circle and the structure of the spell seem so crude.

However, the foundation of the magic circle is already in place, so its location cannot be changed at will.

Fortunately, the foundation of the artificial ice cave is the ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow.

As a natural treasure, Huo Yuhao had not made many artificial modifications to the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow before, and because of this, there is still room for improvement.

Huo Yuhao waited quietly for the ice elements to coalesce, pondering the next steps of the magic circle.

Time passed second by second, and the dense ice elements first appeared as gaseous frost and cold air.

Then, under the control of the Ice Dragon King, Huo Yuhao began to combine and refine the materials according to his ideas.

Immediately afterwards, massive amounts of ice elements rushed down from the sky and merged into the core of the man-made ice cave.

Under the control of the Ice Dragon King, the ice elements methodically impacted the magic array constructed from ten strands of ancient, mysterious ice marrow.

The massive and pure ice elemental energy directly destroyed part of the original magic circle's structure.

However, among the various magical structures that Huo Yuhao had previously set up, there were many that could self-repair or reshape themselves.

At this time, the man-made ice cave was still trying to repair itself.

However, precisely because of this, under the Ice Dragon King's subtle manipulation, the new magic circle took shape as ice elements were continuously added.

Under Huo Yuhao's command and the control of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, pure ice elements gradually replaced part of the original structure of the artificial Xuanbing Cave.

Many of the spatial spells that Huo Yuhao originally incorporated to make the artificial ice cave take shape were destroyed and replaced by the ice elements after they dispersed.

Meanwhile, in Huo Yuhao's True Eye, specks of silvery-white elemental light, along with the formation of a magic circle composed of pure ice blue, began to spontaneously gather together.

The icy blue ice element and the silvery white spatial element blend together harmoniously, as if it were a creation of nature.

In addition to the fusion of these two, the Ice Dragon King also descended from the sky and rushed into the magic circle, using himself as a medium to fuse with the ten ancient ice marrows that served as the base of the magic circle.

As a divine martial soul composed of 100% pure ice elements, the Ice Dragon King can transform into a pure ice element existence at any time.

Therefore, integrating the Ice Dragon King's body along with other ice elements into this magic circle would not encounter any resistance.

This is the method that Huo Yuhao came up with.

As a man-made object, the Xuanbing Cave lacks independent consciousness to control its own growth and strengthening.

At the same time, it cannot actively shape itself and can only rely on the laws of space as an aid.

However, the divine-level martial soul Ice Dragon King is completely different. If these two can be combined, then there will be a Xuanbing Cave with its own consciousness, which can control its own growth speed and direction.

It is definitely much more flexible than the magic circle that Huo Yuhao created from his own perspective, which, although it can be continuously strengthened, can only follow the rules and cannot improve itself.

However, although he has temporarily merged with the Ice Dragon King.

However, Huo Yuhao certainly couldn't leave the Ice Dragon King, his second martial soul, here for long.

All he needed was a trigger, a trigger that would be triggered by the brief fusion of the Ice Dragon King and the Xuanbing Cave.

Huo Yuhao wanted to use this opportunity to create a spiritual entity for the Xuanbing Cave.

Huo Yuhao took out a large number of Ice Extreme God Crystals from his storage soul tool, and these Ice Extreme God Crystals were also known as spiritual metals.

It is a byproduct of the Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Although the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is not as precious as the Gold of Life, the spiritual energy it contains is still extremely rare.

Huo Yuhao threw the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals into the magic circle one after another.

Then, a deafening dragon roar resounded, and the Ice Dragon King returned to its original form as a martial soul, merging into Huo Yuhao's body.

The man-made ice cave has been completely transformed. Compared to its original somewhat rough layout, it now resembles a palace made of ice and snow.

At the center of the palace, a creature resembling a dragon but possessing the properties of ice spirits roams through the palace built of ice and snow.

Through his second martial soul, Huo Yuhao discovered that he could issue clear commands and control this ice-like being.

"It's a success." Huo Yuhao was somewhat delighted, and then he landed in the ice and snow palace.

Being able to control this little guy means that his previous expansion plan for the artificial ice cave can still proceed normally.

At the same time, as Huo Yuhao landed, the little guy immediately came over, clearly showing his affection for Huo Yuhao.

This is natural, since the intelligence of Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, the Ice Dragon King, originated from Huo Yuhao.

The birth of this little guy was mainly due to the addition of the Ice Dragon King, in addition to the Ice Spirits in the large amount of Ice Extreme Divine Crystals acting as catalysts and nutrients.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to regard it as a derivative of Huo Yuhao's will, but its spirituality is even higher than that of the Ice Dragon King as a martial soul.

"Born of the ice dragon, it took the form of an ice spirit, and its spirit is uniquely endowed."

Huo Yuhao gently stroked the Ice Dragon Spirit in front of him. The touch was warm and smooth, cool yet soft, a rather peculiar feeling.

Through the Ice Dragon Spirit as a medium, Huo Yuhao felt as if he could see a wisp of cold wind, a snowflake, or even a piece of ice crystal.

Although blurry, it is incredibly real, as if you are in a peculiar perspective, overlooking most of the core area of ​​the far north.

With the stabilization of the area, Snow Empress and Di Rui'er entered from outside the palace.

Upon seeing the spirit of the ice dragon, the Snow Empress's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao was initially puzzled, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

Ice and snow elves, darlings of the far north, except for the Ice Dragon King's intervention, which caused the spirit of the ice dragon to take on a dragon form.

If its birth was nurtured by the natural world of the far north, then its kinship with the Snow Empress, who is the goddess of ice and snow, is naturally the closest.

The Snow Emperor, who had always been alone and had no clansmen, was a different person.

The reason why he adopted the Ice Bear King and befriended the Ice Emperor can be said to be more about filling the void of family affection within himself.

Although the little ice dragon spirit in front of her was still immature, in the eyes of the Snow Empress, it was no different from her own people, which explains her reaction.

It's just that the Ice Dragon Spirit wasn't born naturally, but rather because of Huo Yuhao.

This left Xue Di unsure of how to approach the little guy.

However, seeing creatures similar to her former self, the Snow Empress was undoubtedly delighted at this moment.

Di Ruier became even more curious when she saw the little guy and immediately reached out to stroke it. As an imperial auspicious beast, she had never seen such a peculiar creature before.

Because of the soul contract between Huo Yuhao and Di Ruier, Di Ruier also acquired some of Huo Yuhao's aura. The Ice Dragon Spirit did not resist at all and started playing with her in the palace.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao summoned the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul once again.

Due to his previous brief period of integration with this place, the Ice Dragon King's control over this area is not as strong as that of the Ice Dragon Spirit.

However, if the Ice Dragon Spirit does not resist, the Ice Dragon King can also take control of the palace.

Pure ice elemental energy appeared before Huo Yuhao under the control of the Ice Dragon King.

Along with it appeared a solidified Xuanbing Marrow, whose energy was even more concentrated than that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow.

Seeing this, Xue Di exclaimed in amazement, "I have also experienced the effects of cultivating in that artificial ice cave before."

"However, it is far behind the present in terms of both the ability to gather ice elements and the speed of condensing the millennia-old Xuanbing marrow."

"Wait, I just sensed a sudden vacuum of ice element energy in a region of the far north, although it was quickly filled by energy from other places."

"That's right, I did it." Huo Yuhao then waved his hand, causing the Ice Dragon King to dissipate the Xuanbing Marrow. After that, the Snow Emperor felt the ice element energy in the far north return to normal.

"The flow of energy is traceable, and if the energy in one place suddenly condenses, then it must need to draw energy from other places to replenish it."

"Conversely, in terms of controlling ice element energy, compared to the original man-made ice cave which gradually increased its control range over a long period of time."

"Now, with the help of the Dragon Spirit, I only need to control the large-scale flow of ice elements, and I can naturally accomplish what I need to do. At first, I was overcomplicating things."

A platform made of ice rises up.

Above the platform is a sand table made of snow, and the edge of the sand table is a water surface formed by the melting of ice element energy.

"Is this a topographical map of this area and the core region of the far north leading to the Ice Sea?" Xue Di asked after observing for a while.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "That's right, we're here." He then pointed to a small castle in the sand table.

Huo Yuhao continued, "And these are the distribution and flow of ice elements in the far north."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, specks of icy blue light appeared in the sand table, and then began to move erratically. But were they really erratic?

These icy blue specks of light flowed, and then a large amount of ice elements flowed into the icy sea at a specific angle and in a specific manner.

The water element in the icy sea was replaced by new ice element under the impact of these ice elements, and then carried back to the far north by the ice element backflow.

"I call it the Sea-Swallowing Plan."

Xue Di raised a question: "In that case, how much effort would it take?"

For Xue Di, she can also manipulate the ice elements of the far north through dance.

However, even small-scale control would consume a lot of her energy, let alone control that would affect the entire environment of the far north.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "That's right, that's how it works normally when controlling ice elements. But when the Profound Ice Marrow was created just now, didn't you notice anything unusual, Snow Empress?"

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress frowned slightly, then suddenly realized and said, "You mean to use the power of space?"

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and continued his demonstration on the sand table.

At this moment, Xue Di observed carefully and indeed found something abrupt.

Beneath the flow of ice elements, there are subtle fluctuations in space.

As the space fluctuated, the flow of ice elements became as if it had boarded a high-speed train, becoming unstoppable.

And with the rapid loss of ice elements.

Only a small amount of ice element needs to be mobilized to control the ice element in the far north, forming a vortex-like swirling motion.

However, such drastic manipulation of the ice element is unacceptable.

The Snow Empress raised her doubts again: "In this way, the ordinary soul beasts in the far north will find it difficult to withstand it."

"So my idea is to use our current location, all the way to Ice God Lake, as a buffer zone to temporarily relocate the soul beasts from the far north near the icy sea to other areas."

"In that case..."

The Snow Empress suddenly realized: "In this way, no matter how large the fluctuations in the ice element are, it won't have a significant impact on the soul beasts in the far north."

"If we can draw as much of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the icy sea as possible here, and then use the Ice God Lake to nourish the entire far north."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "By temporarily giving up some land north of Ice God Lake, we can create a massive tide of ice elemental energy for the far north."

"The far north is a vast land with few beasts. As long as the three Heavenly Kings of the far north control the order among the soul beasts, it will definitely be a highly profitable venture."

"The formation of the ice elemental spiritual energy tide has an unimaginable impact on both the growth of the ecosystem in the far north and the enhancement of the strength of the soul beasts in the far north."

"However, this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the sea spirit beasts in the icy sea. But now the strength of Ice Emperor, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King, and Snow Emperor You has increased a lot, and you also have the advantage of home ground."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, waiting for Xue Di's reply.

Xue Di was somewhat tempted amidst her trepidation.

Her anxiety stemmed from the fact that things were progressing too quickly. Her sense of time hadn't fully changed yet due to her rebirth as an adult.

However, Huo Yuhao only spent three months improving the original artificial ice cave plan, which was based on ten thousand years, to such an extent.

This also made her realize for the first time how terrifying the human species can be. Although the plan was definitely more beneficial than harmful to the far north, ...

Xue Di remained silent for a moment, then nodded, agreeing to Huo Yuhao's radical plan.
