Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 231: 4-year-old beast soul, the second emperor's thoughts and the idea of ​​the third soul core (k)

Violent winds and waves swept in, and as the huge waves gradually approached, a terrifying feeling of oppression slowly descended. Among the huge waves, a black shadow shuttled through it at a high speed. With Shu Yan's eyesight and mental strength, he could roughly capture the general appearance of this creature. To sum it up, it was nothing more than two words, ugly and ferocious.

"This Demon Knife Fish is indeed powerful enough, but Bing'er is still wrong. This guy's cultivation has already entered the 400,000-year level for a while. Judging from his aura, his cultivation is probably around 430,000 years. With the blessing of the home advantage, he has already reached the true Ultimate Douluo level."

The voice of the Snow Emperor sounded faintly in his ears. In terms of real cultivation, the Ice Emperor's cultivation before becoming a soul spirit was not as high as the Magic Knife Fish in front of him, but in terms of race, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion is a super race that has reached the extreme of ice in the Douluo Continent. The positioning of the Magic Knife Fish is not easy to say. If it is said to be a super soul beast, it is always a little short of it, and if it is said to be a top soul beast, there are always several aspects that exceed the standard compared to soul beasts of the same level.

Shu Yan took out a long halberd that exuded a biting cold air from the storage soul guide. The halberd blade was transparent and exuded a sharp and icy aura. The material of the long handle was similar to crystal, but it gave people a soft feeling.

This halberd is a ninth-level soul guide device. Shu Yan named it the Ice God Halberd. It was made by Shu Yan's father Su Mingxuan. Because some of the extremely rare metal, the Ice God Crystal, was incorporated into its manufacturing materials, its inherent quality is excellent, and it is one of the most powerful ones among the ninth-level melee soul guide devices.

"It just so happens that this guy will be the first Extreme Douluo-level opponent I face. I also want to give it a try. Where is my current limit..."

A hint of fighting spirit surged in Shu Yan's eyes. The ice-blue and dark purple soul powers split the sky into two completely different appearances. The violent soul power collided, and the sea surface was in chaos. Under the turbid sea water, countless sea soul beasts fled in all directions. This kind of emperor-level battle was not something they could participate in. If they were accidentally affected, they would have to wait for the battle to start again...

……

Fighting will force people to constantly suppress their own potential. In the battle with the ferocious beast Demon Knife Fish, Shu Yan did not let the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor assist him, but simply fought with his own strength.

Violent purple electric flashes exploded in the air, dispersing the surrounding clouds like a flood and then illuminating half of the night sky.

The sea water surged, and dark purple slashes rushed in all directions with a fierce aura. The splashes formed by the collision of the sea water continued to collide and bloom. Shu Yan waved the Ice God Spear, and shuttled through countless thunder blades. With the Ice God Spear in his hand waving, the extreme low temperature froze the surrounding space in an instant.

With a swing of the halberd, all the black scales shattered, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. A shrill scream resounded through the sky, and then the magic knife fish flicked its tail violently and dived quickly under the sea level.

Invisible ripples spread out and turned into a circular barrier that enveloped an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

"It's the Demon Knife Fish's innate domain, the Demonic Domain. This guy sees that he has no advantage in a head-on battle with you, so he plans to use the domain to weaken your combat power. Shu Yan, you have to be careful. The effect of this domain is interference, weakening, and amplification. The Demon Knife Fish itself is a sea soul beast that is extremely good at concealment and assassination. With the amplification of the domain, it is not impossible for its speed and attack power to double in a short period of time."

Bing Di said in a slightly calm voice. She was confident in Shu Yan's strength, but the other party was her lover. Even if he had already stepped into the Titled Douluo level and possessed a yin and yang complementary dual soul core, the huge soul power gap of level six was essentially not so easy to make up. Shu Yan was able to gain the upper hand in the battle with the Demon Knife Fish, and his various abnormal skills and configurations played a big role, but this did not mean that Shu Yan could easily win the battle. This was the sea, the territory of sea soul beasts. It was necessary to remain vigilant when fighting against a powerful opponent in an area that he was not used to.

Shu Yan did not say anything, but just quietly watched the sea surface gradually calming down.

Under the night sky, the sea water appeared pitch black, and the invisible ripples had gradually dissipated. People who didn't know the situation would probably think that the magic knife fish had been injured and escaped, but the vague feeling of rejection in the surrounding space told Shu Yan that this was more like a halftime break, and the situation would only become more cruel afterwards.

Suddenly, a purple halo appeared in the depths of the sea, the sea water rolled violently, and the surrounding heaven and earth became dim in an instant. Huge resistance appeared in Shu Yan's perception, and the original sky seemed to collapse. The purple light column rushed towards Shu Yan at an extremely fast speed. The soul skills released by the 400,000-year-old beast with all its strength had reached an extremely terrifying level of power.

In an instant, a layer of armor made of emerald green material similar to diamond crystal appeared on Shu Yan's body, and then the second soul skill of the right leg bone of the Hundred Thousand Year Void Predator was activated. The originally calm space was instantly distorted, and the purple light column was stagnant in the distorted space for a moment, and then it turned directly and rushed towards the sea. As the light column came into contact with the sea surface, countless sea water evaporated in an instant, and the aftermath caused the nearby sea water below to form a huge vortex. The Ice Emperor's body protection helped Shu Yan resist all the damage caused by the scattered purple light column. After being hit by his own full-strength attack, even if this magic knife fish did not fall to the ground on the spot, it probably had no combat ability.

Ice Emperor flew out of Shu Yan's body, and watching the emerald green crystals slowly melting from Shu Yan's body, he smiled proudly, then shrunk his body a little and sat on Shu Yan's shoulder, saying:

"How is it? The skills I gave you are useful, right? Ice Emperor Bodyguard is my most powerful defensive spirit skill. Its defensive power is so high that it is enough for you to ignore any attack below the Title Douluo level. Even if you stand there and let a Title Douluo or even a Super Douluo attack you, it will be extremely difficult for them to break the defense of Ice Emperor Bodyguard."

Shu Yan smiled and teased the Ice Emperor for a while, then turned around and heard the Snow Emperor's voice with a hint of dissatisfaction:

"Stop flirting. The magic knife fish is not dead yet. At least we should solve the current problem first..."

Well, you'd better take me with you...

Of course, Xue Di did not say this out loud. If she really said it, where would her status as the Emperor of the North be put?

As for Bingdi...well, this girl has two sides. She is cold and ruthless to outsiders, but she is a completely different person to those close to her.

The same is true for Snow Emperor, but her expression is not as obvious as that of Ice Emperor.

The huge whirlpool has slowly disappeared, and blood has dyed a large area of ​​the sea red. The slender and agile body of the Demon Knife Fish, which was covered with scales, slowly floated to the surface of the water. Most of the originally dense black scales have been destroyed, leaving flesh and blood exposed. Blood is flowing out like crazy. If it were not for the faint breath of life, some people would have thought it was a corpse.

Electrolux's figure appeared out of nowhere. Shu Yan slowly descended, spreading cold air to freeze the sea surface. Then he looked at Electrolux floating in the air and whispered:

"Is everything ok, Mr. Yi?"

Alex chuckled and nodded, then said:
"It's just a slight change to the original soul method. This little thing can't be a problem for me, the Undead Scourge, the Holy Death God Ilex..."

Shu Yan also smiled. Bingdi jumped off Shu Yan's shoulder and returned to his normal shape. Looking at Alex who looked calm and composed, Bingdi curled his lips and said:
"Old Yi, tell me, can Xue'er and I return to our previous state after becoming spirits?"

Hearing this, Xue Di, who had just appeared, couldn't help but pause, and then a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Although the soul body is good, it is still not as good as the fresh flesh body before. The most important thing is that in their current form, it is ridiculous to want to give birth to offspring. No matter from which angle you consider it, they must want to restore their real flesh and blood bodies.

Alex glanced at Bingdi, then slowly said:

"everything is possible."

"Although you and Xue Di have lost your real bodies now, you have completely linked your fate and fortune with Shu Yan."

"If Shu Yan becomes a god, you will also enter the god level and become gods with him. At that time, there should be a chance for you to regain your flesh and blood. But now, this old man still has no body, and his strength is far from returning to his peak. It will still take a lot of time to study."

Shu Yan was listening to the conversation between Bingdi and Alex while carving a huge hexagram magic circle, and then said:
"With the strength that Yi Lao had when he was alive, he will definitely become the God of Death in the future. It is also entirely possible for him to become the King of Gods. Don't think too much about it. Just believe in Yi Lao..."

After saying that, Shu Yan nodded to Alex, and then a terrifying mental force drilled directly into the spiritual sea of ​​the magic knife fish.

Ordinary soul contracts are usually fair contracts, but for this magic knife fish, Shu Yan obviously does not intend to use a fair contract, but is preparing to implement a master-slave contract.

In other words, the soul of the Demon Knife Fish will have to obey Shu Yan in everything from now on. Its consciousness and even its life will be controlled by Shu Yan.

Theoretically, the soul of a 430,000-year-old soul beast could provide Shu Yan with six ferocious beast soul rings, but Shu Yan only allowed it to condense the first and second soul rings of his second martial soul after completing the master-servant contract. He would reserve the remaining soul ring positions for top sea powers like the ferocious beast Evil Demon Killer Whale King and even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Of course, he must also reserve a position for the Evil Emperor in the end.

I'm sure the Evil Emperor would be so moved that he would burst into tears after hearing this news. He will never be able to repay Shu Yan's kindness in this lifetime...

Ahem, that’s a bit off topic…

……

After the two orange-gold soul rings slowly settled, Shu Yan's soul power fluctuated for a while, and then he took another step forward and entered the ninety-fourth level.

Bingdi dug out a piece of trunk bone from the body of the magic knife fish, then threw it into Shu Yan's hand and said softly:

"Who is the next target? The quality and total amount of your soul power are getting more and more outrageous. When you said that after completing all the soul rings of your second martial soul, your soul power can reach level 98 at most, I thought you were too pessimistic. But now, this is actually the best case scenario."

Shu Yan slowly gathered and calmed the fluctuating spirit energy, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said:
"I estimate that it will take about two to three months to complete all the spirit rings of the second spirit, and at most half a year. To leap from level 93 to level 98 in half a year is already an incredible speed."

"What I'm worried about is the condensation of the third soul core. At the beginning, just to condense the second soul core, I used up the remaining ten thousand years of black ice marrow and nearly 90% of the energy in the pill bead. In the end, it was only with the huge energy brought by Sister Xue's transformation into a soul that I was able to complete the last step. This is only the second soul core. What about the unprecedented third soul core? How much energy will it consume? To be honest, even I dare not imagine it..."

After these words were spoken, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor fell silent.

Yes, just the condensation of the second soul core consumed such a huge amount of resources and energy, so what about the third soul core?
Even if Shu Yan devoured a real god, it might not be enough. Especially according to Shu Yan's idea, the two attributes of the condensed third soul core are extremely powerful and difficult to control. This is indeed a huge problem.

After a long silence, Alex finally spoke to comfort her:

"Take it one step at a time. Once you reach a new position, you will see countless new views. Everything will have a solution. Don't be discouraged now..."

Shu Yan slowly stood up, looked towards the sea in the distance, and then said:

"Mr. Yi is right. By then, there will definitely be a corresponding solution."

The two Ice and Snow Emperors looked at each other and nodded slightly. No matter what, as long as Shu Yan took that step, becoming a god would really be within reach. In the end, even if they had to fight against gods, they would follow Shu Yan without reservation...

After dealing with all matters concerning the Magic Knife Fish, Shu Yan first asked the Magic Knife Fish's soul about the news of powerful ocean soul beasts. After getting the information he wanted, he let the Magic Knife Fish's soul go to sleep.

Looking at the eyes of the Ice and Snow Emperors, Shu Yan spoke softly:

"The next target is the Demonic Killer Whale King whose cultivation is close to 500,000 years old. There are no less than three Demonic Killer Whale Kings of 100,000 years old in his tribe. This should be the most powerful group of Demonic Killer Whales in the ocean. As for the news about the deep-sea demon whales, we have some information. We will have to find out later."

Bingdi smacked his lips and said with some emotion:

"The soul beast tribes in the sea are indeed powerful enough. One tribe has a nearly 500,000-year-old beast master, and no less than three 100,000-year-old soul beast kings. There is probably no such terrifying soul beast tribe on land... Well, the evil eye tribe should be similar, or even stronger. After all, this one is probably the only overlord in the world who is stronger than Xue'er..."

Xue Di also nodded in agreement. She had a new understanding of the power of the sea soul beasts. At the same time, she also felt a little emotional. She originally thought that the Far North, which she led, was already powerful enough. Now it seems that the sea is the most powerful and mysterious gathering place for soul beasts in Douluo Continent...
