"Don't be so defiant."

Inside the Ice Palace, the Ice Emperor revealed his true form as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, a cute little ice-blue scorpion less than two meters long compared to other Ice Jade Scorpions.

Chen Hong stepped forward, his feet treading on the void. In the center of his deep black eyes, a black-purple lotus slowly bloomed. Four black-purple soul rings also slowly condensed behind him, layer upon layer, like a magnificent lotus slowly blooming behind Chen Hong. An invisible spiritual pressure spread out to the surroundings.

At this moment, Xue Di Qian Daoliu and the others frowned slightly as they looked at Chen Hong, who had entered his peak state. They realized that Chen Hong's mental quality was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Title Douluo, but he was only level 50!

"Isn't the method you mentioned about sacrificing someone?" The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion said in a deep voice as it watched Chen Hong, who was walking towards it with divine light and lotus blossoms at every step.

"That being said, I need to leave you a divine rune to prevent your will from sinking into the laws of sacrifice, so that in critical moments we can both remain conscious, and thus separate your soul at the last moment."

"Since you're willing to trust me, then I certainly won't let you down." Chen Hong walked up to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, looked deeply into its eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly pressed his forehead against it, making it touch the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's forehead. To prevent any accidents from happening to the beast's basic soul, Chen Hong needed to be cautious.

Wow!

A powerful wave of soul energy interfered with reality, creating a gust of wind emanating from Chen Hong and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, dispersing the surrounding chill.

Deng!Deng!Deng!Deng!

The four rings embedded in Chen Hong's back suddenly lit up one after another! The innermost Sage Soul Ring responded first, and the Sage Divine Rune followed the fluctuations of Chen Hong's soul, forming a mysterious "Sage" seal on Chen Hong's forehead. The seal seemed to possess some kind of great power of heaven and earth. In the instant it was formed, it was copied into the minds of Chen Hong and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. After clearing their minds for a moment, it disappeared instantly.

The next instant, the overclocked soul ring lit up, outlining an even larger divine rune of heaven and earth outside the sage's seal script!

Wow!

Intense spiritual flames instantly ignited on Chen Hong and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!

"His mental skills can actually affect ferocious beasts?!" On the other side of the Ice Palace, the Snow Emperor was shocked as she looked at the raging flames burning on Chen Hong and the Ice Emperor.

"You might not believe it, but his spiritual quality can sometimes reach a level that only gods can possess." Qian Daoliu, who was standing to the side, heard Xue Di's surprised murmur and, with a deep gaze on the 'sacrifice ritual' led by Chen Hong, explained to Xue Di in a deep voice.

There are many people in this world who have wild ideas, but there is no one like Chen Hong who can fathom the rules of the universe.

Probe, touch, and turn it into your own.

If the world is a computer, then the sacrifice of soul beasts is a line of code within that computer with its own logic. And Chen Hong has now essentially figured out the rules governing this sacrifice code.

To achieve the "pseudo-sacrifice," Chen Hong needs the support of his three soul ring runes to ensure that he can "leave the rings but not the soul."

Once the Soul Ring Sacrifice is initiated, the process is almost irreversible. Why almost? Because the soul beast's will is nearly extinguished during this process. The rules of heaven and earth intervene, the will weakens, and it can only passively accept the control of the Sacrifice Law.

However, Chen Hong's Sage Divine Mark can activate and awaken the consciousness of both the sacrificial parties during this process. With their combined efforts, they can control the souls to a limited extent and maintain the dominance of each other's souls.

Chen Han's third soul ring, the Contract Divine Rune, is an ability that can affect the soul. This rune can open the connection channel between the souls of the two people making the sacrifice, thus providing enough subject and object for the soul ring sacrifice.

At this point, we must mention Chen Hong's second soul ring, the Overclocking Divine Rune. The effect of this rune is both crucial and uncritical. If the soul beast cooperates, the Overclocking Divine Rune's effect is minimal. However, if the soul beast doesn't cooperate, or rather, if the soul beast is prevented from cooperating, then the Overclocking Divine Rune can forcibly boil the soul beast's spirit, activating the triggering criteria of the soul beast's sacrifice law through the contract rune's connection.

"Relax your mind and give up resistance. The Overclocking Divine Rune will boil your sea of ​​consciousness. In conjunction with the Contract Divine Rune, which is the third divine rune forming in your mind, it will activate the sacrificial conditions of this world and enter the sacrificial state." Chen Hong's voice rang out softly in Bingdi's sea of ​​consciousness, which had already turned into a sea of ​​fire. It seemed to have a magical power that soothed the panic in Bingdi's heart.

Chen Hong's description of the "activation conditions for sacrifice" is somewhat abstract. In reality, it's similar to how water vaporizes when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees Celsius under standard atmospheric pressure. When a soul beast's spirit is boiling and it has a soul-connected entity, it can easily enter a special state of sacrifice. It's like an invisible atmospheric pressure pushing the soul beast's soul towards the soul master's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The reason we don't let you enter the sacrifice state is that if a soul beast enters the sacrifice state, it will output a very high amount of energy, which will not only waste energy but also cause unnecessary damage to the soul beast's soul."

"On the contrary, this method is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, allowing you to slowly enter a sacrificial state, while the energy output valve is under our control, so as not to waste too much energy," Chen Hong explained to Ice Emperor in his sea of ​​consciousness. His spiritual will stood between two seas of flames. Behind him was a golden flame, and in front of him was a blue flame, with a mysterious pattern connecting the two seas of consciousness of different colors.

The spirit of Hyotei is a petite girl with twin ponytails. She stands in the blue sea of ​​flames, looking at Chen Hong in the golden ocean opposite her with a complex expression.

The humans before us have deconstructed the concept of soul beast sacrifice.

"Are you really as trustworthy as you seem?" The girl with pigtails asked, her voice slightly dazed, her eyes flickering.

Surrounded by nothingness, on the Bridge of Consciousness, which stretched into a sea of ​​fire, Chen Hong walked step by step toward Ice Emperor. Although it was he who was walking, Ice Emperor was astonished to find that the Bridge of Consciousness was extending infinitely toward her location!

In the blink of an eye, when the girl with pigtails subconsciously looked up, she found herself in the center of the Bridge of Consciousness. Chen Hong, who was taller than her and exuded an aura of divine might, stood in front of her, gently patted her head, then took her jade pendant and stepped across the boundary of the Bridge of Consciousness into the golden ocean.

"Why not?"
