Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 111 Sacrifice of a 100,000-Year-Old Immortal Herb

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye!
Dugu Han's absorption of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus was also coming to an end.

At this moment, he was enveloped in a faint halo of light, which was a pale icy blue.

Bajiao floated beside Dugu Han, carefully sensing his absorption of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus. Then, it took a deep breath, and its soul power began to surge wildly.

Its entire body radiated an extremely dazzling light.

"Thank you!"

"For the past six years, I have been living freely and unrestrained in the far north. Although I have encountered some minor dangers, I have had a very, very happy time."

"And I also saw a lot of new things."

"Although it was only a short six years, it was far more valuable than the ten thousand years I lived before, with every day being the same!"

Bajiao gave Dugu Han one last, deep look.

Becoming a god is ultimately just a beautiful vision!

For thousands of years, no one on this continent has ever become a god.

Therefore, becoming a god is extremely difficult!
But even if Dugu Han cannot become a god in the future, he cannot revive it.

For those six years of joyful time alone, I think it was all worth it!

Although it has only been six short years, the freshness and joy it has brought far surpasses the unchanging, monotonous life of its previous ten thousand years!
"Thank you!"

Bajiao gave a final thank you, its body radiating brilliant light, its soul power overflowing uncontrollably. It slowly sank from its floating state, gradually approaching Dugu Han.

Its body began to ethereal, and countless shimmering particles escaped from it. These particles, like fireflies, hovered and danced around Dugu Han before finally merging into his body.

Gradually, Octagon's consciousness began to blur, but its mind kept recalling the ice-attribute soul beasts and human soul masters it had encountered in the far north over the past six years.

It had witnessed human soul masters hunting soul beasts to absorb soul rings, seen human soul masters fighting each other over a thousand-year-old soul bone, seen two ice bears mating, and even seen a male Titan Snow Demon, in heat, grab a male ten-thousand-year-old ice tortoise and viciously attack it...

As the eight-cornered beast began its sacrifice, the martial spirit within Dugu Han's body once again fell silent.

Beneath him, spirit rings appeared automatically.

Four spirit rings, one yellow, one purple, and one black, rose up in turn.

Before long, Bajiao's body was completely transformed into pure energy, which surrounded Dugu Han and was slowly absorbed by him.

Only a piece of the right leg soul bone, radiating an icy blue light, remained, preserving the soul of the Eight-Cornered Beast. It slowly floated onto Dugu Han's right leg, fitting tightly and merging into it.

at the same time!

The martial soul within Dugu Han's martial soul origin, which had been dormant since absorbing the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, has also begun a comprehensive transformation.

The frost dragon's body was covered with dense, cracked ice scales.

As the energy of the octagon surged in, suddenly, a crisp 'crack' sounded.

The ice scales covering the Frost Dragon's entire body, which were covered in cracks, shattered with a roar, turning into countless ice shards that merged into the origin of the Martial Soul.

Immediately afterwards, new scales grew rapidly from the dragon's body.

These scales are a brilliant deep blue, each one crystal clear as if meticulously sculpted by the heavens, with fine ice patterns flowing across their surface, radiating a bone-chilling cold that seems to freeze time and space.

Its dragon horns also underwent an astonishing change. The original dragon horns quietly fell off, turning into pure energy that merged into the origin of the martial soul, and then grew into a pair of new, thick dragon horns, covered with a thick layer of ice crystals that shimmered with a ghostly blue luster.

And the dragon's eyes, unknowingly, changed from vertical pupils that originally radiated a cold light to a deep azure, like an endless icy abyss, containing supreme majesty that controls ice and frost...

Three days have passed by in the blink of an eye.

A blood-red 100,000-year soul ring appeared above Dugu Han's head.

The soul ring merged into his body, and a majestic dragon roar instantly filled the entire frozen area, then burst out of the snow mountain, lingering over the entire ice plain and sea.

Old Snowman guards the cave entrance outside the snow mountain.

Upon hearing the dragon's roar, he was overjoyed and immediately rushed into the ice cave.

He knew this was a sign that his young master's martial soul had successfully evolved.

"Xue Lao!"

Dugu Han had already woken up and was looking at his martial soul, which had evolved once again. He smiled when he saw Elder Xue walk in.

"Little Lord!"

Elder Xue looked at Dugu Han's evolved dragon martial soul with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It was a giant dragon surrounded by glistening frost.

The dragon's deep eyes were like two deep, icy pools, their dark blue radiating a chilling coldness. It seemed as if a storm was raging within its pupils, capable of freezing the souls of any creature that dared to look directly at it.

His dragon body was also longer and more agile, and his crystal-clear scales seemed to have been carefully sculpted by the heavens, shimmering with a cold luster, and the fine ice patterns on them exuded a chilling aura.

As Xue Lao felt the chill emanating from the dragon, his pupils were filled with shock.

He, a titled Douluo with an ice-attribute martial soul, actually felt a bone-chilling cold at this moment.

"This is my martial soul, Frost Sacred Dragon, which evolved after sacrificing a 100,000-year-old snow lotus and an octagon."

Dugu Han looked at his Frost Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and said with satisfaction, "A Martial Soul that surpasses the ultimate ice."

"A martial spirit that surpasses the ultimate ice?"

Old Xue looked somewhat bewildered.

In his view, among all attribute martial souls, the ultimate was already the pinnacle, and he never thought that there would be a martial soul that could surpass the ultimate level.

"You can think of it as a martial spirit that is even more extreme than the ultimate."

"And it has also developed its own area of ​​talent."

After Dugu Han finished speaking, he performed the Martial Soul Possession.

Yellow, purple, black, black, red!
Five spirit rings rose up from beneath his feet in succession.

When Elder Xue saw the blood-red, 100,000-year-old fifth soul ring, even though he already knew that Bajiao was going to sacrifice it to Dugu Han, his pupils still shrank subconsciously.

A fifth spirit ring that takes 100,000 years to form is as unheard of as a third spirit ring that takes 10,000 years to form.

However, the shock it brought far exceeded that of a third spirit ring that took ten thousand years to form.

Dugu Han glanced at his fifth spirit ring, which had lasted for 100,000 years, and murmured, "Bajiao, don't worry, I will definitely become a god and resurrect you."

He then unleashed his innate talent, the Ice Domain!
moment!

The Ice Extreme Domain was released from Dugu Han's body, enveloping Xue Lao within it.

"Talent Domain!"

Elder Xue felt the icy domain enveloping him, his eyes filled with shock.

Domain skills are extremely rare soul skills. They can not only enhance one's own strength but also weaken the enemy's strength, making them a soul skill that every soul master dreams of.

The talent domain is a more powerful domain than the domain attached to a soul skill.

Elder Xue never expected that his young master's martial soul would awaken the legendary talent domain after its evolution. "Within my Ice Extreme Domain, I can gain a 20% enhancement, while my enemies are weakened by 20%."

After sensing his innate domain, Dugu Han smiled and said, "At the same time, the coverage area is determined by my mental strength, and within my Ice Extreme Domain, my third soul ring can perform Ice Instant without environmental restrictions."

After saying that, Dugu Han's third soul ring flashed, and his figure instantly disappeared from Elder Xue's sight.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on the summit of the snow-capped mountain.

He did not sense the ice elements of the far north, but instead relied directly on his own ice-level domain to perform an instantaneous ice attack.

Then Dugu Han's third soul ring flashed again, and his figure returned to Xue Lao's sight.

"Little Lord!"

When Elder Xue saw Dugu Han return, he hurriedly asked, "Did your soul power break through to level sixty?"

"no!"

When Dugu Han heard Elder Xue mention his soul power, he shook his head in disappointment.

After withdrawing his innate domain and martial soul, he sighed softly, "My original ice attribute was only a hair's breadth away from the true ultimate ice level. But since I started absorbing the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, I have directly broken through to the ultimate ice level."

"My soul power was compressed as my martial soul attribute broke through to its limit. As a result, the sacrifice of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus and the octagon only increased my soul power by six levels."

As Dugu Han spoke, his eyes betrayed his disappointment.

During the last evolution of his martial soul, Xiaobai provided him with the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow for him to absorb. The reason he voluntarily stopped absorbing it was because he was worried that if his martial soul attribute broke through to its limit, it would cause his soul power to be compressed.

Not only will the cultivation speed decrease significantly, but even the level of soul power gained from absorbing soul rings beyond the required age will be affected by soul power compression.

Moreover, his attributes have surpassed those of the ultimate ice, and his soul power is compressed even more severely than that of ordinary ultimate martial souls.

Otherwise, they would rely on the 100,000-year-old snow lotus and the sacrifice of the octagon.

Even if the soul power is compressed.

Dugu Han was also confident that he could break through to level 58 directly, instead of a mere level 56.

"Actually, this is a good thing!"

After thinking for a moment, Elder Xue said, "The reason why the ultimate martial soul is stronger than other martial souls is not only because the ultimate martial soul itself is powerful, but also because it can temper the soul master's soul power by compressing soul power."

"and……"

Elder Xue looked at Dugu Han and comforted him, "Young Master, you are only thirteen years old. A level 56 Soul King at the age of thirteen is a rare find, even if you search through all the historical records of the continent."

"That's true!"

Dugu Han smiled, then sensed the soul rings, soul skills, and soul bone skills that Bajiao had provided him.

The spirit ring provides two spirit skills.

They are: Ultimate Ice Amplification and Octagonal Mystic Ice Break.

The Limit Ice Amplification is the same as in the original work; it is an amplification-type soul skill.

Octagonal Ice Break is a single-target attack soul skill.

The soul bone is the right leg bone, which also provides two soul skills.

They are: Octagonal Ice Source Condensation and Octagonal Omnidirectional Thorn.

Octagonal Ice Source Condensation is a support soul skill that can be used to condense ice elements to assist other soul skills in attacking.

Octagonal Omnidirectional Spike is a ranged soul skill that condenses a giant ice spike for long-range attacks, and it can be stacked and used together by Octagonal Ice Source Condensation.

After experiencing the skills of the soul ring and soul bone he had acquired, Dugu Han took out the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal that Bajiao had given him from the Moon Goddess's Tears.

The Octagonal Mystic Ice Crystal is a supreme treasure that takes ten thousand years to condense, and it also contains a portion of its cultivation.

By attaching it to any weapon, it can imbue that weapon with the power of extreme ice.

If it is integrated into a soul bone, it can increase the lifespan of the soul bone.

Dugu Han held the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal. Although the coldness of the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal was no less than that of the Ten Thousand Year Xuanbing Marrow.

However, for him, whose ice attribute had already surpassed the extreme level, there was no discomfort. On the contrary, he felt a cool and comfortable sensation.

Dugu Han stared at the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Before the sacrifice, Bajiao instructed him to integrate the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal into his external soul bone.

However, after taking some time in the past few months to absorb the two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow given to him by the Snow Emperor, he has replenished the origin of the Ice Emperor Wings and increased its age back to one hundred thousand years, so there is no need to increase its age again!

After thinking for a moment, Dugu Han looked at the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal in his hand and decided not to absorb it for the time being.

The age limit of the external soul bone has already reached 100,000 years, so increasing it by another 10,000 or 20,000 years wouldn't make much difference.

It would be better to leave it to the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone in the Star Luo Empire.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone was only 70,000 years old. Although it possessed the Ice Explosion Divine Skill, its age was still somewhat low. This octagonal Xuanbing Crystal could be used to increase its age.

Thinking of this, Dugu Han put away the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal.

He then looked at Elder Xue and said, "Elder Xue, the matter is settled. I'm going to the Frozen Canyon to check on Little White. The Snow Emperor is currently transforming into human form, so that area is quite sensitive. You should go back first!"

"I know, the last time I gave Xiaobai honey, he told me not to enter the core area casually anymore!"

As he spoke, Elder Xue took out more than twenty barrels of top-grade honey from his storage soul tool and said, "Young Master, these were sent by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Sun Moon Empire over the past three months."

"I'll just give it to Xiaobai on my way."

Dugu Han smiled and collected the honey into the Moon Goddess's Tears. After bidding farewell to Elder Xue, he immediately spread his Ice Emperor Wings and flew towards the Frozen Canyon.

The frozen canyon is located far from the snow-capped mountains.

Even with Dugu Han's speed, which was 100,000 years old and attached to his soul bone, it still took him nearly three hours to arrive.

Before he arrived, the Ice Emperor had already sensed his presence in the Ice God Temple and flew away.

"ice King!"

Dugu Han landed in front of Bingdi with a smile and said, "I came to see Xiaobai."

"Come with me!"

Ice Emperor carried him into the frozen canyon and headed towards the Ice God Temple.

Inside the Ice God Temple!

Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King Xiaobai stood guard beside the large, snow-white cocoon where Snow Emperor had taken human form.

Nearly twenty soul beasts, including the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, the Frost Snow Lion King, and the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King, each a hundred thousand years old, were also lying in the main hall guarding the Snow Emperor.

Dugu Han followed the Ice Emperor into the main hall, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

He knew that the Snow Emperor would summon 100,000-year-old soul beasts from the core area to protect him when he transformed into human form.

But he didn't expect there to be so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Nearly twenty 100,000-year-old soul beasts, almost all of them from the far north, are here now!
