Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 166 A Soul Tremor After Ten Thousand Years

Dugu Han introduced the blood-red 100,000-year soul ring into his body. The immense energy contained within the soul ring erupted like a volcanic eruption, bursting forth from his limbs and bones, rampaging wildly.

The immense soul power contained in the 100,000-year soul ring far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Every meridian was pierced by the immense soul power, as if it were being pierced by thousands of steel needles at the same time. The intense pain made his muscles tense and his veins bulge.

Dugu Han couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. The uncontrolled energy condensed into a vortex in his chest cavity, and his ribs made a cracking sound as if they would be crushed into dust in the next second.

But this pain was still within his tolerance.

The 100,000-year-old ice-attribute left leg bone he had previously obtained from the Body Sect was absorbed and further enhanced his physical strength.

This allowed him to withstand the immense soul power within the 100,000-year soul ring.

Despite the excruciating pain within his body, Dugu Han continuously circulated his soul power, striving to absorb the soul power of the soul rings that were rampaging through his meridians.

At the same time, strands of transparent silk flowed from the blood-red soul ring into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The transparent threads gradually gathered and took shape in his spiritual sea, transforming into a small human-bodied fish-tailed form, resembling Liya.

However, she looked terrifying, with black mist seeping from her empty eye sockets, and her once delicate little mouth was now covered with barbs, emitting a sharp hiss.

Wherever the hissing sound reached, Dugu Han's materialized spiritual sea began to tremble violently.

As Dugu Han's spiritual sea violently trembled, his body began to convulse violently, and fine beads of blood began to seep from his mouth, nostrils, and other seven orifices.

The soul power that had been gradually stabilizing within his body began to surge violently again and again.

"Soul shock!"

Dugu Han instantly realized something and immediately began to stabilize his soul power while sending a wisp of his consciousness into his spiritual sea.

After Liya noticed Dugu Han's appearance, the black mist churning in his empty eye sockets intensified, and the golden scales on his fish tail stood up like blades.

She swung her fishtail rapidly, baring her teeth and claws as she lunged at Dugu Han.

Dugu Han stared coldly at Liya as she rushed towards him. Suddenly, an icy blue light erupted from his body, and his materialized mental energy flowed and reorganized like liquid metal, condensing into chains that looked like solid objects throughout the entire sea of ​​his mind.

Ice-blue chains burst forth from various points, swiftly intercepting the approaching remnant soul of Liya and weaving an impenetrable cage around her.

Liya's remnant soul let out a piercing shriek, and as her fishtail thrashed wildly, golden scales shot towards Dugu Han's consciousness like flying knives, only to freeze into tiny ice crystals the instant they touched the chains.

"How dare a remnant soul, its spiritual power burned away, act so presumptuously!"

He raised his right hand and clenched it tightly, causing the cage of chains to tighten abruptly, pinning down Liya's twisted body.

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Han's spiritual power surged like boiling magma, quickly forming a massive, almost tangible, ice-blue dragon behind him.

The dragon's eyes gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, and fine ice crystals condensed on its whiskers. When it opened its blood-red maw, the chilling aura froze the surrounding space into an ice sculpture.

The moment it appeared, Liya's remnant soul sensed a deadly threat. The black mist in her eye sockets surged instantly, and her locked fishtail thrashed wildly, trying to escape, but she couldn't move at all and could only let out a piercing scream: "Ah—"

Liya's remnant soul emitted a piercing shriek, her voice filled with resentment and boundless hatred.

In an instant, Dugu Han's entire spiritual sea trembled.

Black mist condensed around her, forming hideous faces, each one twisted and deformed, its gaping maws filled with fangs tearing at the mental chains binding her.

"Humph!"

Dugu Han snorted coldly, quickly stabilized his mental sea, and then waved his hand.

"Roar--"

The icy blue dragon roared to the sky and charged fiercely towards Liya's remnant soul. Liya screamed again in despair, and one terrifying face after another formed before her, colliding violently with the dragon.

But it did not hinder the dragon in the slightest.

Those terrifying faces crumbled at the dragon's touch. The dragon swiftly charged towards Liya's remnant soul, its icy claws tearing through the black mist, its chilling fangs biting down on Liya's remnant soul, beginning to devour it...

Liya's remnant soul was tightly bound by Dugu Han's mental chains. Apart from helpless roars, she was unable to put up any resistance and was quickly devoured by the giant dragon.

As the dragon swallowed the last wisp of remnant soul, Dugu Han's spiritual power surged dramatically.

The originally icy blue sea of ​​spirit began to undergo a wondrous change. The surface of the seawater formed by spiritual energy shimmered with a strange light, like a calm lake being rippled by a boulder thrown into it.

The original substantial form began to ripple with water-like patterns—a sign of breaking through to the realm of formless existence.

His spiritual sea also suddenly shrank once again at this moment, beginning to compress and reshape itself...

As time went by, Dugu Han's consciousness fell into a peculiar feeling, a feeling that was mysterious and indescribable, as if his spiritual power existed both in this space and beyond it.

It can perceive everything around it more acutely, yet it is not limited by physical objects.

After he destroyed Liya's remnant soul, the raging, powerful soul force within him gradually stabilized.

The bulging veins on Dugu Han's body surface also disappeared again.

Wu Ming stayed by his side the whole time. When she suddenly saw him trembling all over, with veins bulging on his body and blood flowing from his seven orifices, she was immediately worried and so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.

However, outsiders cannot help a Soul Master absorb a Soul Ring.

So all she could do was silently stay by Dugu Han's side and pray for him.

Seeing that Dugu Han had regained his composure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Soon, Elder Wu and the others finished cleaning up the battlefield and flew over.

Each of them held several radiant soul bones, which were the spiritual backlash and deaths of the hundreds of mermaids who had been interrupted by Elder Ye while performing their combination techniques, plus the mermaids that the group had chased afterward.

And the 70,000-year-old mermaid they initially tied up.

In total, more than thirty died, but a total of twelve soul bones were found. "Damn, the chance of finding soul bones from these top-tier soul beasts is really high."

Tyrannosaurus Douluo excitedly landed next to Dugu Han, put down the soul bone in his hand, and waited for him to wake up before distributing it.

Tenghuang Douluo and Wu Lao, among others, also put down the soul bones they were holding.

Dugu Han doesn't care about soul bones younger than 100,000 years old; these 10,000-year-old soul bones will eventually be allocated to them.

Wu Ming stayed by Dugu Han's side and fiddled with the pile of soul bones.

One 70,000-year-old head soul bone, two 20,000-year-old head soul bones, three 10,000-year-old head soul bones, and six 10,000-year-old left and right arm bones and leg bones.

Seeing that there was no 100,000-year-old soul bone, Wu Ming asked, "Didn't you catch that 100,000-year-old silver-crowned mermaid?"

"No, those sea spirit beasts are too fast in the sea!"

Elder Wu said regretfully, "When we land-based soul masters enter the sea, not only will our strength decrease significantly, but our speed will also decrease significantly, making it impossible for us to catch up with them. Otherwise, it would have been another 100,000-year-old soul bone!"

"No matter what, it's a blessing that the Sea Princess didn't show up!"

Old Ming smiled and said, "Otherwise, we would have to fight a tough battle and everyone would be injured."

"That's true!"

Everyone agreed!

If the sea princess appears, even if they fight desperately on land, they will all be injured.

Even if a ferocious beast that has existed for 600,000 years is significantly weaker on land, it is still not so easy to deal with.

However, compared to this, what they cared more about was the Golden Crow that Wu Ming conjured up at the last moment and rushed towards the Li Jing and Li Ya sisters to self-destruct.

Together with Dugu Han, they gathered ice elements from dozens of miles around the Ice Sea, and then combined them with the 100,000-year-old soul skill, Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Break, before unleashing the Profound Ice Dragon Soaring with all their might to create an ice explosion.

Both of these soul skills were things that they could sense as a threat.

Even Wu Lao and Tyrannosaurus Douluo, both level 95 Super Douluo, dared not take both of these soul skills at the same time.

Looking at Wu Ming, Tenghuang Douluo couldn't help but ask, "What kind of soul skill is the Golden Crow you finally condensed? Even we Title Douluos felt a sense of threat."

Elder Wu and the others also looked at her curiously.

"That's a skill provided by a piece of soul bone I absorbed, called: Golden Crow Shines Across the World!"

Wu Ming explained with a smile, "It can condense a golden crow with 80% of my soul power and quickly rush towards the enemy to self-destruct."

"No wonder it's so powerful!"

People looked at her more seriously now.

Although Wu Ming is only a level 85 Soul Douluo, the Golden Crow she condensed with 80% of her soul power is already equivalent to a level 80 Soul Douluo!
It was a Soul Douluo with the ultimate fire attribute who self-destructed, and the power of that was enough to threaten an ordinary Title Douluo.

Once she breaks through to the Title Douluo level, the power of Golden Crow Shining World will increase accordingly.

Once that time comes, a Golden Crow, equivalent to a high-level Soul Douluo and possessing ultimate fire, will self-destruct. Its power will be comparable to a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, easily killing any ordinary Title Douluo.

"hiss!"

Upon realizing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"A walking, level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball!"

Everyone gave Wu Ming a deep look, then looked at Dugu Han, who was absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring.

Dugu Han had previously stacked various amplification-type soul skills, as well as the 100,000-year soul skill Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Break, and then gathered ice elements from dozens of miles of the Ice Sea to unleash the Profound Ice Dragon Soaring with all his might.

Furthermore, the power of the ice explosion achieved through the Ice Explosion Soul Bone Technique is in no way weaker than the Golden Crow Shining in the World that Wu Ming has condensed.

Another walking level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball!

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older one!"

The crowd sighed and then turned their attention to the 100,000-year soul ring that Dugu Han was absorbing.

The blood-red, 100,000-year soul ring was dazzling in the evening as the sun set.

Old Ye stared at the 100,000-year spirit ring that he was absorbing, thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Old Mu only absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring when he was on his seventh spirit ring. The Dragon Emperor Douluo, who was on par with Old Mu a hundred years ago, could only absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring when he was on his eighth spirit ring."

"It is said that Elder Mu obtained a great opportunity, which enabled him to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring while holding the seventh soul ring."

Elder Wu added, a strange glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at Dugu Han.

Most Limit Douluo can only absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring when they reach their eighth spirit ring.

Dugu Han not only started absorbing 100,000-year soul rings now, but he had already absorbed one when he was level 50.

Although it is unknown how he did it, it is conceivable that Dugu Han's talent absolutely surpasses that of all the Limit Douluos throughout history.

Their combat power is unprecedented!

Once he cultivates to the level of a Title Douluo, with five 100,000-year soul rings, a fully equipped soul bone plus an external soul bone, and his self-created soul skill, Ice Explosion...

They're probably capable of defeating even a Limit Douluo!

"Unrivaled in the world!"

The word involuntarily surfaced in the minds of Elder Wu and the others.
