Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

After Qi Dao finished speaking, he focused his gaze on the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in the cave, his eyes filled with a hint of fervor.

Ice Extreme Crystal is a top-grade metal comparable to Cold Heart Iron Essence.

And in this cave that extends more than 30 meters inward, the ground is covered with ice crystals!

Even Qi Dao himself did not expect that the number of Ice Extreme Divine Crystals in this secret realm would be so terrifying.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The original work mentions that the Myriad-Year Ice Cave was formed by the ice being buried underground for more than 10,000 years, gradually emerging after enduring immense pressure.

Although it is said to be ten thousand years, in reality, each ten-thousand-year ice cave takes at least tens of thousands to millions of years to form.

In the words of the Ice Emperor, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave where Qi Dao is currently located is not much smaller than the one that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm encountered back then, but it only produced more than forty Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows.

The most important reason is that this ancient ice cave has produced too many ice crystals, which has caused its energy to be dispersed.

It's easy to imagine just how terrifying the quantity of Ice Crystals here is.

With this terrifying quantity of Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, Qi Dao felt that the opportunity for the Peerless Sword to become a divine artifact was now upon him!

After all, with each evolution, the Peerless Sword had already reached an exceptionally terrifying level of quality.

Qi Dao's gaze swept over the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in the cave, his excitement overflowing.

However, he was not in a hurry to absorb them, because he had to first chisel off these Ice God Crystals.

These Ice Extreme God Crystals are extremely hard. Even Huo Yuhao, who had condensed the first soul core of the spiritual attribute, could only leave a shallow mark on the Ice Extreme God Crystals when using the Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Although other violent methods can be used to forcibly chisel out the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, this will also change the internal structure of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, resulting in a decrease in quality.

Of course, this is not a difficult problem for Qi Dao.

Everything has its counter, and the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is extremely compatible with the ultimate ice soul power. If the ultimate ice soul power is injected into the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal will soften slightly.

What a coincidence!

Qi Dao's ultimate ice soul power can come in handy!

After he infused his soul power into the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, the originally indestructible Ice Extreme Divine Crystal immediately softened. With a pull, Qi Dao uprooted a large piece of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

After plucking a piece of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, Qi Dao released his Martial Soul.

A tall figure appeared from within the sword.

It is none other than the peerless sword spirit!

Qi Dao thought for a moment, and Wu Shuang immediately received the command and waved his hand.

The next second, a cloud of icy blue mist instantly swallowed the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that Qi Dao had pulled out.

Qi Dao was taken aback at first, but then he immediately realized that Wushuang was using his fifth soul skill, Devouring Gold Fang.

However, compared to his appearance as a dark golden mouth with fangs, Wushuang's appearance was more ethereal and otherworldly.

This surprise immediately piqued Qi Dao's interest.

"Wushuang, how did you do that?"

Because the design of the Gold-Eating Fang wasn't very appealing, he tried to improve it, but without much success.

The soul skills acquired through soul rings are like a pre-defined skill template. Even if he modifies this template, there won't be much change.

Wushuang replied stoically, "Sword Master, as the spirit of the Wushuang Sword, I possess the essence of soul skills. If you wish to learn, I can teach you."

"However, I currently only possess the most basic form transformations, which I'm afraid may not satisfy the Sword Master."

This is considered a reversal of the Heavenly Principles!

But that's how it is in Douluo Continent. Soul Masters only have the right to use the Soul Skills they obtain by absorbing Soul Rings; they don't actually grasp the underlying logic of the Soul Skills.

For example, after Tang San resurrected Xiao Wu, he was no longer able to use all the spirit ring skills and spirit bone skills that Xiao Wu had given him.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor also mentioned that if they absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, condense into a physical form, and leave Huo Yuhao, then Huo Yuhao will be unable to use all the soul skills they have given him.

This is what makes Douluo Continent different from other fantasy worlds.

In other fantasy worlds, if you want to master a certain skill, you must rely on learning and comprehension.

But in Douluo Continent, you don't need that; you only need to absorb a soul ring to unleash soul skills.

In other fantasy worlds, one can rely on their own skills to continuously improve through cultivation and comprehension.

However, in Douluo Continent, the effects of soul skills are fixed after absorbing a soul ring.

Even though the power of soul skills increases with the level of a soul master, it doesn't mean that the soul skill's effect has become stronger. Rather, it means that the soul master has used more soul power, which is why the effect of "great force makes bricks fly" is achieved. The essence of the soul skill has not changed.

But things are different now. Wushuang has grasped the essence of soul skills. As long as he can learn them, it means that soul skills will no longer be static in his hands.

He can enhance the effects of his soul skills through his own understanding and improvement.

For example, his third soul skill can increase the power of the next attack by five times, but now he can increase the attack power by six or seven times through his own understanding, constantly breaking the limit.

This is extremely useful both before and after becoming a god.

Because once you become a god, your life will be elevated, and the effects of your former soul skills will rapidly decrease. You will rely more on the divine skills that are born after condensing a divine ring.

Of course, if a support Soul Master becomes a god, the effects of their Soul Skills will be reduced by a relatively small amount.

For example, Oscar's various soul skills have been weakened, including his most practical Impression Sausage.

In the legends of the divine realm, he once used the Image Sausage to unleash 60% of the power of the Asura Sword.

This was his highlight achievement. Although he almost lost his fighting ability after the sword strike, it was still extremely impressive for a second-level god.

Of course, compared to Ning Rongrong, he was still a little lacking.

Because Ning Rongrong's previous soul skills did not diminish in effectiveness, during the God Realm War, she applied six amplifications to Tang San, Huo Yuhao, and seven others, and the amplification effect reached 100%.

Most importantly, her strongest divine skill, Nine Treasures Protective Divine Light, helped Tang San withstand the strongest attack from the God of Destruction. Although she consumed 90% of her divine power, she only needed ten years to recover completely.

Her support abilities are, as you can imagine.

Qi Dao's willingness to select suitable immortal herbs to evolve her martial soul was also somewhat related to her outstanding performance in the God Realm.

The strength doesn't come from the Nine-Colored Goddess's second-level divine position, but from the amplification provided by Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

In contrast, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who were able to use the Soul Fusion Technique, did not perform as well as them, and were even inferior to Ma Hongjun. Even with Ning Rongrong's double boost, they were still no match for a Level 1 God.

This also shows how severely Dai Mubai's soul skills have been weakened.

It should be noted that several of his soul skills are all attribute-enhancing soul skills. If they are stacked together, they could probably increase the base attributes by several times.

Clearly, the divine realm is not very friendly to non-support soul masters like them.
