Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 178 Sacrifice or Die
The Blue Silver Emperor was unable to move because it was bound by Han Ruoruo's Golden Rope. In its haste, it immediately controlled the rampant growth around it, forming a defensive wall in front of it.

However, the Xuanbing Giant Dragon unleashed by Dugu Han, carrying a bone-chilling cold, crashed into it with a deafening roar. The defensive wall formed by countless Blue Silver Grasses was shattered the moment it came into contact with the Xuanbing Giant Dragon.

The countless defensive walls formed from solidified blue silver exploded with a deafening roar, scattering countless ice shards and fragments of blue silver grass in all directions.

Wherever the ice dragon passed, the air froze into ice crystals, and the vines of the blue silver grass were instantly covered with a layer of frost.

Immediately following was the blazing flames of the Golden Crow, and all the surrounding Blue Silver Grass began to wither and carbonize rapidly under the Golden Crow's high temperature.

Dugu Han's gaze was fixed on the Blue Silver Emperor's true form. The moment the Xuanbing Giant Dragon struck its body, he slightly clenched his left hand, and the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone lit up: "Explode!"

At the same time, the golden crow that Wu Ming had condensed also collided with the Blue Silver Emperor's main body.

"boom--"

The colossal ice dragon, wreathed in icy energy, exploded in a ring, instantly blasting a hundred-meter-wide ice abyss into the ground. The remaining plants of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass community were uprooted and frozen into ice crystal sculptures in mid-air.

Then, with another loud 'boom,' the Fiery Golden Crow crashed into the Blue Silver Emperor's body, exploding violently and instantly plunging the entire space into a sea of ​​fire, with flames shooting into the sky like a giant mushroom cloud.

The simultaneous explosion of the Mystic Ice Dragon and the Blazing Golden Crow caused ice and fire energy to rage like a tsunami.

Ice shards and flames intertwined in mid-air, transforming into dazzling light, and a massive energy storm immediately erupted in all directions.

The golden rope binding the Blue Silver Emperor's body under Wu Ming's control rapidly disintegrated under this energy storm.

The Blue Silver Emperor's main body was also swallowed by this torrent of energy. It struggled to throw out vines as thick as buckets, but they burst open simultaneously in the high temperature and extreme cold, turning into charred ice fragments all over the sky.

But in an instant, several more booming sounds rang out!

Countless small meteors fell from the sky and crashed into the Blue Silver Emperor's body. Then, a huge silver moon, like a divine judgment disk, shone with a cold light in the sky, its oppressive power tearing through the air as if it were a tangible force.

The energy storm generated by the ice and fire was like a fragile veil before it, easily torn apart. As the silver moon fell, the surrounding air was rapidly swallowed up, forming a vacuum zone.

Sensing the danger emanating from the silver moon, the Blue Silver Emperor immediately began to struggle desperately, its remaining vines flailing wildly in an attempt to withstand the impending catastrophe.

However, no matter how its vines danced, they could not affect the silver moon that was hurtling towards it. On the contrary, its originally tough vines were turned into dust by the silver moon's powerful energy the moment they came into contact with it.

"boom--"

The silver moon crashed down, and the earth trembled violently. Centered on the Blue Silver Emperor's body, the ground within a radius of several miles instantly sank, forming a huge crater.

The powerful shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami, uprooting countless blue silver grasses and crushing rocks into dust wherever it went.

The Blue Silver Emperor's main body was first blasted by Dugu Han's Xuanbing Dragon Soaring Ice, and then bombarded by Wu Ming's Golden Crow Shining the World. It was already severely injured, and now it was hit by a huge silver moon, causing its main body to shrink rapidly.

The surface, once covered in golden patterns, was instantly covered with countless cracks, as if it would shatter completely at any moment, its life force rapidly draining away under this terrifying impact.

The Blue Silver Grass in Blue Silver Valley was pressed to the ground by the enormous storm and could no longer lift its head, unable to provide it with any life energy.

The silver light flowing across the surface of the silver moon became increasingly dazzling, completely enveloping the Blue Silver Emperor's body. Under the erosion of the silver light, the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality was gradually drained away, and the originally vibrant Blue Silver Grass began to become dull and lose its ability to resist.

Dugu Han and the others hovered in mid-air, their robes fluttering under the oppressive force emanating from the silver moon.

Zhang Lexuan raised her right hand, and her 100,000-year-old right arm bone lit up: "Lunar Eclipse Strangulation!"

The silver moon began to slowly rotate, and countless silver-white moon blades shot out from its edges, frantically slicing through the Blue Silver Emperor like a silver meat grinder.

The cracks on the surface of the Blue Silver Emperor spread at a visible speed, turning into thousands of fragments that dissipated in the light.

When the silver moonlight completely dissipated, all that remained was a large pit hundreds of meters deep, and a Blue Silver Emperor plant curled up at the bottom of the pit, barely breathing.

Its once thick, ancient tree-like roots are now nothing but withered remnants. On its cracked bark, most of the golden veins have faded, with only a few remaining streaks of gold shining brightly.

"What...what kind of soul skill was that just now?"

Wu Ming looked at the Blue Silver Emperor, who was curled up at the bottom of the pit and barely breathing, and his eyes were filled with shock.

She could sense that the silver moon that had just struck the Blue Silver Emperor, her strongest soul skill Golden Crow Shining World after various enhancements, plus Dugu Hanbing's Profound Ice Dragon Soaring, were even more powerful.

"Lunar Eclipse Strangulation, the skill from the 100,000-year-old soul bone I obtained in my eighth soul ring."

"I mean that silver moon that crashed down!"

"One of the skills of the torso bone that has been around for over 200,000 years: Moonfall!"

Zhang Lexuan explained, "But when you use a soul skill, meteors will fall down, so I call it 'Frosty Blossoms Falling from the Sky'!"

After saying that, she looked at Wu Ming and smiled, "If you dare to find women for Dugu Han again, I'll hit you on the head with this next time."

Wu Ming thought about what would have happened if that silver moon had hit her instead...

She only thought about it for a moment before she couldn't help but shiver.

We can't hold on any longer, we can't even hold on a little bit!
"Le Xuan... oops, I mean, eldest sister!"

"Don't worry, big sister, with me here, no woman can get close to Dugu Han!"

Wu Ming quickly grabbed Zhang Lexuan's arm to appease her, sincerely expressing her loyalty: "You know, I've always followed your lead."

"Le Xuan's soul bone skill is powerful, but it's too slow. It can only deal with fixed targets. If you can't beat it, you can't run away either!"

Seeing Wu Ming's cowardly appearance, Dugu Han shook his head with amusement.

He then gestured to Han Ruoruo beside him and said, "Sister Ruoruo, let's go downstairs!"

"Uh-huh!"

Han Ruoruo followed Dugu Han down the mountain. Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor, who was now just a mangled body with his life force constantly fading away, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her beautiful eyes.

The 190,000-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone are right before my eyes!
Wu Ming blinked as she watched the two people fly down, then immediately raised her hand to Zhang Lexuan and reported, "Big sister, I'm reporting that Dugu Han is trying to sow discord between us and he definitely wants to find another woman."

"As long as you don't find him other women!"

Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at her, then pulled her down.

The four people surrounded the remains of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Sensing the arrival of the four people, the Blue Silver Emperor silently bestowed its energy upon the Blue Silver Grass in the valley.

It would rather die than transform all its cultivation into a human's soul ring or soul bone. "It's dissipating its cultivation!"

Han Ruoruo sensed Lan Yinhuang's actions and frowned.

"I know!"

Dugu Han nodded, took out a portion of the essence of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, and smiled at the Blue Silver Emperor: "Some top-tier ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts can speak human language. As the 190,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, a top-tier plant-type soul beast, don't you want to say anything?"

The Blue Silver Emperor remained silent. As a spirit beast, it had nothing to say to the human spirit masters who wanted to hunt it down.

Dugu Han didn't mind and continued, "I know a place called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. It's a paradise for plant-type soul beasts, where one day of cultivation is equivalent to ten days."

"Take the source of the immortal herb in my hand, for example. It is the source of an immortal herb with a cultivation of 100,000 years. That 100,000-year-old immortal herb is called Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, and it has only lived for 10,000 years."

Dugu Han promised, "You are the Blue Silver Emperor, with incredibly strong vitality. You can leave behind a seed after you die. I can plant you in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Ten thousand years later, you will be a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. Whether you continue to cultivate as a soul beast or transform into a human, it is your freedom."

Upon hearing this, the Blue Silver Emperor stopped dispersing his cultivation.

Sensing the source of the immortal herb in Dugu Han's hand, it hesitated for a moment, and then a gentle female face slowly emerged from its body.

Zhang Lexuan and the other two women were all astonished when they saw the woman's face.

Unexpectedly, a plant-type soul beast that is 100,000 years old can actually condense a human-shaped face.

Dugu Han also looked at Lan Yinhuang's gentle face and said, "Your Lan Yinhuang bloodline is definitely not enough to support you through the two hundred thousand years of heavenly tribulation. Even if we don't hunt you down, you will die under the heavenly tribulation sooner or later."

"what do you want to do?"

Blue Silver Emperor paused for a moment and then asked.

Dugu Han slowly uttered two words: "Sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice?"

Lan Yinhuang glanced at him, then looked at Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, and finally his gaze fell on Han Ruoruo.

It could sense that both women needed to absorb soul rings, but Han Ruoruo's Golden Rope was a better match for it.

"I have broken through to level 80 and need your soul ring and soul bone."

Han Ruoruo said, "If you are willing to make a sacrifice, I can guarantee that your seed will be planted in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, allowing you to live a second life."

“We’re here for your soul ring and soul bone. If you’re willing to sacrifice yourself, that would be the best outcome. We can plant your seed in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to help you live a second life, which would be the best of both worlds.”

Zhang Lexuan also said, "But if you are unwilling to sacrifice, it won't be an obstacle for us. Ruoruo has absorbed two 100,000-year-old soul bones, one of which is a 100,000-year-old torso bone. Her body strength is enough to absorb your soul ring."

"It will be a little painful during the absorption process!" Wu Ming added.

You're everywhere!

Dugu Han flicked her forehead speechlessly. Why say something that diminishes your own prestige at a time like this?

Blue Silver Emperor listened to everyone's words and analyzed the pros and cons.

Death is inevitable. There are only two paths: either sacrifice yourself or be hunted down by these human soul masters.

After the sacrifice, the seed left behind was reborn. According to Dugu Han and others, a plant-type soul beast can cultivate for one day in a place called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which is equivalent to cultivating for ten days outside. In a maximum of ten thousand years, she will become a hundred-thousand-year soul beast again.

This is undoubtedly the best choice.

The problem is that her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline is not pure enough, so she cannot leave a seed after the sacrifice unless she absorbs that clump of immortal herb essence.

Blue Silver Emperor stared intently at the source of the immortal herb in Dugu Han's hand.

By absorbing that clump of immortal herb essence, she can not only improve her cultivation level, but also evolve into a truly pure Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

Seeing that the Blue Silver Emperor remained silent, Han Ruoruo said, "I can swear on my martial soul that as long as you offer yourself as a sacrifice, I will definitely plant your seed in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

"Okay, but you have to let me absorb that first."

Blue Silver Emperor agreed, controlling a sliver of charred vine to point at the source of the immortal herb in Dugu Han's hand.

"You've already sacrificed it, what do you still need it for?" Wu Ming asked, puzzled.

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo were also very puzzled.

Dugu Han glanced at the source of the immortal herb in his hand and frowned.

He even planned to use this source of immortal herbs to lure the Demon King and obtain its soul bone!

"My Blue Silver Emperor bloodline is not pure enough to leave a seed for rebirth after sacrifice, unless I absorb that clump of immortal herb essence to evolve my bloodline," the Blue Silver Emperor explained.

"You are the only Blue Silver Emperor in this world, and you have 190,000 years of cultivation. Is your bloodline still impure?"

Zhang Lexuan scrutinized Lan Yinhuang's face, suspecting she was lying.

"No, there is another Blue Silver Emperor."

Blue Silver Emperor explained, "She is the true ruler of our Blue Silver Emperor clan. The human who became a god ten thousand years ago was her child. However, she disappeared after that human became a god. But I can confirm that she did not die, otherwise I would have evolved into a pure Blue Silver Emperor bloodline."

"Humans who became gods ten thousand years ago..."

Zhang Lexuan suddenly thought of a name and looked at Dugu Han: "The original Shrek Seven Devils!"

“It’s Tang San from the original Shrek Seven Devils. His mother is the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.” Dugu Han nodded.

Upon hearing this earth-shattering secret, Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming looked at Dugu Han in disbelief.

After receiving confirmation, Zhang Lexuan looked at him in shock.

Tang San, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, was actually the child of a soul beast!

This was something no one could have predicted, and there was no record of it even within Shrek Academy.
