Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 457 Soul
Upon hearing his child say that, Titan Snow Demon King was completely dumbfounded. Did it just make a mistake?
The girl didn't kill her own child; she wanted to help her.

Ling Luochen said, “Senior, you don’t need to blame yourself, because you didn’t make a mistake. No matter what the situation was at the time, my stance was with Giant Strength Douluo and Purple Spirit Douluo. Humans attacking soul beasts and being killed by them is a cycle of cause and effect. If I had died then, it would have been my own fault.”

She remained as aloof and serene as ever, showing no sign of emotional distress when she said she deserved to die.

"But I was lucky enough to survive thanks to my younger brother Xiao Tuo's treatment. Senior, you should thank my brother a little, because the Giant Strength Douluo and Purple Spirit Douluo who harmed your clan have been killed by him and Ice Emperor!"

"Oh, really?" Upon hearing this, the Titan Snow Demon King felt slightly pleased. At the time, it was in a hurry to save its people and did not pursue those two guys with all its might, resulting in them escaping. It had been resentful ever since.

It wouldn't believe Ling Luochen's words one hundred percent, but wasn't there still the Ice Emperor?

Ice Emperor said, "Don't worry, Atai, this little girl didn't lie to you. Zi Ling Douluo's head was chopped off by Xiao Tuo himself, and Juli Douluo was even strung into a candied hawthorn by my scorpion tail."

"Haha, Ice Emperor, thank you for avenging my people, but they died so easily, it was too good for them." Titan Snow Demon King was also a proud and arrogant one. In fact, it was also a little grateful to Yuwen Tuo, but it only expressed its gratitude to Ice Emperor.

"Alright, now is not the time to talk about these things. The most urgent task is to save this child," said the Snow Empress. "Her injuries are too severe. The reason she has been able to live for so many years is because your Titan Snow Demon Clan is incredibly strong in both physique and spirit. But this is not a solution. The only way to save her now is probably to use the Soul Absorption Technique to turn her into a spirit."

"Soul?" Atai looked puzzled; it had never heard of this word before. "Snow Empress, what is a soul?"

"The so-called soul spirit." Xue Di slowly explained the meaning of the soul spirit to him.

After hearing this, Atai looked at Yuwen Tuo with utter shock. What kind of person was this, that he could create such a profound method?

“Indeed, if that’s the case, the child’s life can be saved temporarily, but this method is somewhat enslaving. Snow Empress, do you really allow humans to use it?” Titan Snow Demon King asked doubtfully.

Its intelligence is truly remarkable; it immediately grasped the advantages and disadvantages of the Soul Technique.

Xue Di said, "Not only me, but also even more noble soul beasts have agreed. However, we are not planning to spread it widely now. Instead, we will let the Guigu School, which created this method, conduct a small-scale test first."

Atai was startled, "A soul beast even more noble than you?"

There are even more noble soul beasts in this world than the Snow Empress, namely the Emperor Heaven and the Evil Emperor. They are only slightly stronger than her in terms of strength. The three are basically at the same stage, and if they were in the far north, they might not even be able to defeat her.

Qiu'er stepped forward, releasing her aura, "Titan Snow Demon King, do you recognize me?"

"This aura? You are... the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest!" Titan Snow Demon King exclaimed in surprise. Who are these people? They actually have an Emperor Beast hidden in their possession.

Could it be that the Snow Empress was referring to the auspicious beast when she spoke of a soul beast that was even more noble than herself?

Seeing what Atai was thinking, Qiu'er said, "The Snow Emperor wasn't talking about me, but rather the master of my adoptive father."

"The master of the foster father?" Atai knew that the auspicious beast was raised by Di Tian and the others, so what did Di Tian's master mean?

Upon realizing this, Atai's eyes widened. "You mean, that one also agreed?"

The auspicious beast nodded. "In that case, would you be willing to give it a try?" Atai quickly knelt down. "Since both the Lord and the Snow Empress agree, how could I, Atai, dare to have any objections? As long as the child is willing, I am willing to respect her own thoughts."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to the Titan Snow Demon, who said, "I trust the Snow Emperor and the Clan Chief, so I agree."

She didn't know who the ferocious beasts and the auspicious beast were referring to as their master, but she believed that Titan Snow Demon King and Snow Empress would not harm her.

"Alright, little girl, come out now!" Xue Di said, pointing at Vina.

Originally, the most suitable person for Titan Snow Demon here was Ling Luochen, but Ling Luochen already possessed the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and had reached the ninth ring.

That leaves only another option. Vina's constitution is also ice-attribute, and she cultivates the same set of techniques as Ling Luochen. Moreover, she has twin martial souls, and her brain martial soul still needs several soul rings.

The strength of the Titan Snow Demon lies in its dual strength of body and spirit. Although it is not the most suitable soul beast for the Brain Martial Soul, it is not unsuitable either. Moreover, the combination of ice attribute and Brain Martial Soul has certain benefits, which can calm the mind and stabilize the sea of ​​spirit.

“Yes!” Vina quickly stepped forward. This was a chance to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, and she wouldn’t be coy.

Since obtaining the consent of the Soul Beast Kings, Yuwen Tuo has been passing on the Soul Absorption Technique to the Ghost Valley disciples. Vina's purpose in coming out with Yuwen Tuo this time is to find a Soul Spirit willing to follow her.

While Titan Snow Demon isn't the most suitable, it's still quite good. After all, 100,000 years have passed; what more could you ask for?

Both should be prepared.

Using the remaining portion of its soul power, the Titan Snow Demon forcibly activated the sacrificial array, while Vina silently recited the incantation for the Soul Absorption Technique, extracting the Titan Snow Demon's energy.

Titan Snow Demon transformed into red spirit rings, which were placed on Vina's second spirit. And it wasn't just one, but a total of three, placed in the sixth, seventh, and eighth positions.

One thing that makes spirit rings inferior to ordinary spirit rings is the increase in spirit power when acquiring them. The normal method of acquiring spirit rings involves absorbing three spirit beasts for three spirit rings, which naturally results in a greater increase in spirit power.

Although Titan Snow Demon provided Vina with three 100,000-year soul rings in one go, the increase in soul power was only a small fraction of what remained in her body.

Fortunately, she also provided Vina with a torso bone, but even so, Vina was still a little short of the mark, and her level remained at eighty-nine.

However, Vina remained calm and prepared. She immediately took out a jet-black head bone from her soul tool.

That was the skull of the Evil Eye Tyrant that Yuwen Tuo had revealed back then. In exchange, he traded it with the sect for the Ghost Wolf leg bone that he had given to Xiao Xiao.

It seems the sect really listened to his advice and gave the soul bone to Vina.

The reason Vina has been kept until now is to assist in breaking through the realm at the most crucial moment.

Through her calculations, she finally broke through the bottleneck of becoming a Title Douluo.
