Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 173 The Eighth Soul Ring
In the far north, a purple-gold lightning bolt collided violently with a blue figure, creating a tremendous roar in the heart of the far north.

On a snow-capped mountain, a magnificent pagoda emitted a dazzling nine-colored light, which closely followed the blue figure.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's ultimate support landed on Shui Bing'er, greatly boosting her aura.

A bright blue halo enveloped Shui Bing'er and spread outwards, making the surrounding temperature much colder.

On the other side, a faint purple-gold domain also unfolded, and the already fierce winds around it became even more violent.

Above the sky, azure blue and purple-gold collided, and after a brief clash, neither seemed able to gain the upper hand.

Unique domain skills.

These two are indeed stronger than I can match, even with my 100,000-year seventh spirit ring.

His soul skills and strength did indeed surpass those of ordinary Soul Saints. He was not afraid even when facing Soul Douluo. However, if he encountered a Title Douluo, he would probably only be able to put up a fight, but there was absolutely no possibility of resistance, even though his soul skills were currently very powerful.

These two may have surpassed some Title Douluos in strength, and their domains would suppress even Title Douluos.

They also possess extreme attributes, a concept I only recently learned about.

When an attribute reaches its maximum, it will suppress all other attributes that are not at their maximum, and its power is incredibly strong.

Even though he possessed the sixth soul skill of Death Shadow and the third soul skill of Shadow Body, which could make him immune to most physical and soul power attacks, the extreme attributes seemed to counter him. In the face of their attributes, the effectiveness of his skills was greatly reduced.

Zhu Zhuqing understood that this was because her death and darkness attributes were being suppressed, and her abilities were being limited.

And the Soul Core!

I am currently unable to condense this auxiliary cultivation item myself.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing, I just don't know when I'll be able to successfully cultivate the 'Reign of the World' technique." Zhu Zhuqing immediately recognized the person upon hearing the voice.

"Don't worry, with your talent, you'll be fine soon." Ling sat next to Zhu Zhuqing, also watching the battle in the sky. The two different types of soul power changed the color of the sky, as if the aurora had appeared.

The power of domain skills is undeniable. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Ling realized that she really was just like Ding Quan had said when he first saw her: she was too focused on strength, which ultimately led to her leaving Shrek Academy.

"is it?"

"You learned this secret technique without any guidance; your talent surpasses mine."

"Ok?"

"We cultivated the Sovereign of the World with Wei'er for several years before we finally mastered the God of Slaughter Domain after leaving the City of Slaughter and obtaining it, and then condensed our own domain," Ling said, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's suspicious eyes.

"The City of Slaughter?" Zhu Zhuqing had some knowledge of the City of Slaughter; it was a paradise for the fallen.

These men are true killing gods, with countless lives on their hands.

"If you had cultivated the Sovereign Ruler at the same time as us, your strength might be even greater than ours."

"I know my talent. If Wei'er hadn't told me I was on the wrong path, I wouldn't have reached where I am today." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. It was almost impossible for her to surpass Ling and Wei'er's level.

"It seems that Quan was right after all. I didn't expect you to end up with us."

"spring?"

"It was Quan's idea for Vera to meet you back then."

"His idea?" Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback. She originally thought it was because of their acquaintance after fighting Wei'er in the Great Soul Arena, but she didn't expect it to be Ding Quan's idea.

“That’s right, maybe he had his eye on you back then.” Ling said, looking at Zhu Zhuqing’s obviously exaggerated figure even though she was dressed in thick clothes.

"Ling! Don't you care about me and Rongrong?" Zhu Zhuqing stared at Ling with a serious look in her eyes.

“We do care a little, but ever since we learned about his goal, Wei’er and I have known that he is not someone that anyone can control. You also know some of our story. The biggest reason why Wei’er and I have been able to get to where we are now is because of him. This goal is too difficult, so we will not let go of anything that can increase the possibility of it.” Ling said, looking at the nine-story pagoda on the ice mountain.

I learned some things about Ding Quan and the others during this time. I never expected that Ling and Wei'er were actually captured and given away as gifts, but fortunately they were rescued by Ding Quan.

It's no wonder they kept following Ding Quan; after all, the consequences of being treated as a gift were obvious.

"Become a god?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ling, whose expression was calm. They did indeed have the confidence to do so.

"Since you're here, it means you have ideas and goals." Although Ling didn't know whether Zhu Zhuqing's choice was due to Wei'er's influence of "Ruling the World" or Zhu Zhuqing's own pursuit of strength, there was no doubt that she had now chosen her group.

Zhu Zhuqing watched as Ling got up and looked at the nine-colored pagoda. Because of Ding Quan, Ning Rongrong's martial soul had become the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

But it seems I received more.

boom!
Just as the two were talking, the sky in the distance seemed to change color, with thick dark clouds gathering and flashes of lightning flashing within them.

A powerful pressure emanated from the sky. Upon seeing this, Ling's expression changed. He nodded to Zhu Zhuqing and quickly flew away into the distance.

On the other side, Ding Quan felt the increasingly cold aura in front of him, and his expression became more and more solemn.

I didn't expect it to be so fast!

Ding Quan looked at the golden lion sitting or lying to the side, whose eyes were also fixed on a small figure not far away.

"Bing'er?" The figure of Xue Di appeared to the side, looking at Bing Di, who could no longer suppress her aura.

"I still have some of the medicinal properties left in my body, and I can no longer suppress my soul power. So I have no choice but to make one last desperate attempt." The Ice Emperor's excited voice rang out, and at the same time, the emerald green color on his body suddenly intensified.

Click click!

A snow-white domain suddenly swept out, and even though Ding Quan was on guard, a portion of his soul power was frozen in the first instant.

What terrifying ice attribute! The strength of this ice attribute is definitely above that of Ling and Shui Bing'er.

Even though they are both made of the finest ice, there are still differences between them.

Ding Quan's figure retreated rapidly. The aura of the Ice Emperor in front of him was too powerful. The golden-red Xuanhuo eyes stared at the Ice Emperor. Its soul power had become more condensed, and the air around it seemed to have become tangible.

I've only ever seen such a profound and solid soul power in one person.

That's the Golden Crocodile!
This being possessed a soul power level of ninety-eight. An even more terrifying pressure emanated from the sky, and when Ding Quan looked up, the surroundings instantly darkened.

boom!
A terrifying chill emanated from the Ice Emperor, and Ding Quan felt his body relax as the Ice Emperor's aura barely blocked the heavenly might.

But in an instant, lightning flashed across the sky, and an even more powerful pressure descended.

Emerald green soul power swept upwards, and ice shards shot into the sky.

At the same time, the white domain swept upwards, causing the icicles to emit a chilling aura.

The Ice Emperor, the domain of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Eternal Frozen Domain, can freeze everything around it in the far north in an instant, including soul power. Ding Quan watched as part of his soul power was frozen and turned into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye. The cold was too terrifying.

His soul power had already reached the level of a Super Douluo, yet it was still frozen.

"Ling is here!" Ding Quan shouted as he sensed an aura approaching.

"Then I'll roar!"

A somewhat sharp sound came from Hyotei's mouth. At the same time, emerald green soul power soared into the sky, directly dyeing the sky green. Hyotei no longer controlled her aura, but released it with all her might.

Sensing the aura of the Ice Emperor, the Eternal Frozen Domain instantly expanded several times over.

A bolt of lightning struck directly from the sky.

boom!
The ice shards created by Hyotei shattered into pieces under the bombardment of the lightning tribulation, exploding directly.

Lightning converged in the sky, and an even more terrifying thunder was rapidly brewing.

The lightning tribulation has struck, which means...
Four hundred thousand years!

Hyotei has been promoted for 400,000 years.

Ding Quan looked at Ling, who had already flown to him, nodded to her, and then watched her brave the cold and head directly towards the location of the Ice Emperor.

"Heavenly tribulation, truly terrifying!"

Wei'er and Shui Bing'er had stopped fighting and had arrived at Ning Rongrong's side. A black figure also appeared in front of them in a flash.

Only Zhu Zhuqing could use teleportation skills to travel.

"Is this the power of four hundred thousand years? I feel like I can't even move in front of it." Ning Rongrong's face was a little pale, and the pressure from afar made her feel uncomfortable.

"A lifespan of 400,000 years is equivalent to the strength of a level 98 Soul Master. In addition, Ice Emperor possesses the ultimate ice attribute. Once she breaks through 400,000 years, she will become a powerful existence among level 98." Wei'er released her soul power to block the pressure for Ning Rongrong.

If the Ice Empress, who has lived for over 390,000 years, is at the peak of level 97, and reaches level 98 in the face of the far north, then once she reaches 400,000 years, she will truly reach level 98. Coupled with her ultimate attributes, she can be invincible among her peers. The Ice Empress, whose lifespan has exceeded 400,000 years, is also a top existence among level 98 beings.

It's just a pity!

"The tribulation lightning has dissipated."

"Has the sacrifice already been made?" A dazzling red light suddenly appeared in the distance, and a white domain completely enveloped that area.

"The eighth spirit ring is four hundred thousand years old!" Zhu Zhuqing stared at the bright red, and even from a distance, she could see the faint gold within the red.

"A Soul Douluo with three 100,000-year soul rings, and two of them are ferocious beast soul rings. I wonder how strong Ling will become." Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with envy. Such high-age soul rings had never been recorded before.

Considering Ling's current spirit ring configuration, if he were to fight someone, once he unleashed it, it would probably make that person feel utterly hopeless.

Furthermore, the power of a soul skill with a lifespan of 400,000 years is simply unimaginable.

Ling suddenly possessed four such skills.

Turning to look at Shui Bing'er, whom he had just assisted, he realized that before long, Shui Bing'er would possess a beast spirit ring with an age of 300,000 years. Given the strength she had just displayed, she would be an extraordinary being.

However, Ling's eighth spirit ring has already reached 400,000 years, so what will the age limit of the ninth spirit ring be?

Zhu Zhuqing also looked at the blood-red streak. She now possessed a seventh spirit ring that had lasted for 100,000 years. It seemed that she and Ning Rongrong would need to focus more on physical training.

The time limit for absorbing a spirit ring depends on the physical strength of the spirit master and is not fixed.

Even without the sacrifice of the Ice Emperor, Ling was still able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring at the eighth soul ring level. In addition, Wei'er and Shui Bing'er, who had mastered the "Reign of the World" cultivation, could also do the same.

With my current physical strength, if I intensify my training before absorbing the eighth spirit ring, I should be able to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the two calm-looking people. They had both condensed their soul cores, and Shui Bing'er had also successfully condensed hers with Ding Quan's help. There was even a martial soul fusion skill between the two of them.

Given their current strength, if they were to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, its power would be unimaginable.

"Ling, confirm the previous Soul Bone Skill and Soul Ring Skill, right?" A phantom emerald green scorpion transformed within Ling's Ice Soul Domain, and then a petite woman with emerald green hair appeared atop an extremely beautiful scorpion's head.

"Senior Hyotei, let's stick to the original plan. I can control your Eternal Frozen Domain, so there's no need to take up another Soul Skill slot." Ling communicated with Hyotei through mental communication.

“That’s right. You can even control the domain of the Titan Snow Demon. Your Ice Soul Domain is indeed more powerful than my Eternal Frozen Domain.”

Hyotei said no more, and then a perfectly intact torso bone flew out and merged directly into Ling's body.

As one of the three great kings of the far north, the Ice Emperor's greatest strength lies in his extreme ice attribute, which even surpasses that of the Snow Emperor. To bear this extreme ice attribute, although the Ice Emperor's body is not as huge as the Titan Snow Demon, its physical strength is even greater than that of the Titan Snow Demon.

Given Hyotei's extremely powerful ice attribute, providing the most important torso bone is the most suitable option.

As the energy from the soul bone and soul ring surged towards Ling, Ling's soul power, which was originally close to level 74, suddenly soared, reaching level 80 in the blink of an eye!

At the same time, a powerful aura burst forth from Ling's body, and the Eternal Frozen Domain began to shrink slowly, eventually merging completely with the Ice Soul Domain released by Ling.

Has the Ice Soul Domain evolved?
Ding Quan sat cross-legged not far away, sensing the emerald green color within the Ice Soul Domain, a chilling aura no less powerful than that of the Ice Emperor.

Ling's current Ice Soul Domain already has the effects of several domains; although it is only one domain, it has several effects.

A set of ice armor appeared on Ling's body, and the scales on it were exactly the same as those of the Ice Emperor. At the same time, Ling's ice attribute became stronger.

Upon seeing this, Ding Quan realized that this torso bone provided her with an amplification skill, as well as a defensive skill that Ling currently lacked the most.
