Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 246 The Ice Explosion Technique of Five Hundred Thousand Years
Soon, Dugu Han's soul power reached the critical point of level sixty-nine.

However, his soul power did not stop there; the soul power attached to the secret soul bone continued to flow into his body.

Slowly, accompanied by a soft 'click' sound, it resounded inside his body.

In an instant, it felt as if something had shattered.

Dugu Han's soul power level broke through the level 70 soul power limit in an instant, and the breakthrough soul power fluctuations also emanated from his body.

The moment he broke through to level 70 in soul power, he suddenly felt a lightness all over his body, as if something that had been pressing down on him had been removed.

"Is it a limitation of the ultimate martial soul?"

Dugu Han opened his eyes and felt his soul power.

Solid, steady, and incredibly substantial!
Most importantly, the feeling that his soul power was being extremely compressed at all times disappeared as his soul power broke through level seventy.

"Finally, I can focus on my cultivation!"

Dugu Han smiled and then looked at his left arm.

After the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone fused with that 420,000-year-old secret soul bone, its age has increased to 500,000 years.

"I wonder what kind of power the Ice Blast skill, which is 500,000 years old, will have?"

Dugu Han stared at his left arm and muttered to himself.

The surface wounds on his left arm have healed perfectly, but the damaged meridians inside will need some time to fully recover.
But this process takes at most an hour.

During this hour, Dugu Han also began his cultivation.

Outside!

All three sensed the fluctuations of Dugu Han's soul power as he broke through to level 70, but they were all puzzled as he did not appear for a long time.

"His soul power has broken through level 70, and the growth rate of his soul power has stopped, but he has started cultivating again."

Kong Deming found it strange that after absorbing the secret soul bone, he didn't immediately come out to test the power of the soul bone skill, but instead began to cultivate it, which was truly puzzling.

"Xiao Han might have his own ideas, let's wait and see!"

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire said with a smile.

Everything that needed to be arranged was done in the past few days, and minor matters were also handled by Xu Tianran, so he had plenty of time.

This is especially true for Kong Deming and Ma Xiaotao.

The three of them stood guard at the door and waited.

Until an hour later!

Dugu Han woke up from his cultivation, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

Without the limitations of the ultimate martial soul and the limitation of soul power compression, his soul power growth rate increased significantly.

Although the cultivation speed of a Soul Master slows down as they progress, the Soul Power of a Soul Saint is much more difficult to increase than that of a Soul Emperor.

However, after Dugu Han lost the compression of soul power by the ultimate martial soul, his cultivation speed increased instead of decreasing, increasing by at least 50% compared to before.

At the same time, the meridians in his left arm have been restored to their original state by life energy.

"It's time to test the power of Ice Blast!"

"A five-hundred-thousand-year-old ice blast spell!"

Dugu Han looked at his left arm, excitedly got up and walked out.

The three emperors of the Sun and Moon Empires had been waiting at the door.

Seeing him push open the door and come out, I quickly went up to ask him.

"So, how is it? After fusing the two soul bones in the same location, are there any special changes?"

"Has the power of the Soul Bone skill increased?"

"Junior Uncle, quickly try out your Ice Blast Technique and see how its power compares to before."

The fusion of two soul bones in the same location was something none of the three had ever seen before, and they were all very curious about the power of the fused soul bones.

Especially Ma Xiaotao, she was very clear that the secret soul bone had an age of 420,000 years, and after fusion, the age of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone was increased to 500,000 years.

A soul bone skill that is 500,000 years old is absolutely unprecedented, not to mention that this soul bone skill is a divine skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan.

"You'll know once you try it!"

Dugu Han glanced at his left arm, smiled, and walked into the courtyard.

He then unfurled his Ice Emperor Wings, and with a light tap of his toes, he instantly soared into the sky a thousand meters above the ground.

"I'll be your test subject!"

Kong Deming also wanted to see how powerful the soul bone skill of his soul bone was now, so he volunteered to follow along.

After flying high into the sky, he quickly retreated until he was more than a hundred meters away before stopping. He then casually took out a level nine defensive soul guide shield and poured soul power into it.

"Come on, you can unleash your full power to the fullest, and let this old man witness your unprecedented soul bone technique after the fusion of two soul bones."

"Mr. Kong!"

Dugu Han glanced at the level nine defensive shield in Kong Deming's hand and shook his head slightly: "It's not that I'm being presumptuous, but the age of my soul bone has now reached 500,000 years. If I were to amplify it with various soul skills and unleash my full power, I'm afraid your level nine defensive shield would..."

Kong Deming didn't hear what was said next; he was staring at Dugu Han in shock.

Five hundred thousand years!

A soul bone that's 500,000 years old? How is that possible?!
His first reaction was that it was impossible, but looking at Dugu Han's serious expression, it didn't seem like a lie.

"You...you mean that after your left arm bone absorbed that secret soul bone, its age really increased to 500,000 years?"

Kong Deming still couldn't quite believe it and confirmed it.

“Really!” “My original Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone was 85,000 years old, while that secret soul bone was 420,000 years old. After the two were fused, my left arm bone was successfully upgraded to 500,000 years old.”

Dugu Han nodded and said very seriously, "And the soul bone skill of this left arm bone is also a divine skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, called Ice Explosion Technique."

"With this skill, I can fight against Title Douluo even if I am not of the same rank. Now that my soul bone age has increased to 500,000 years, I don't even know how powerful this soul bone skill has become. So Elder Kong, you'd better not be careless."

"I see!"

Kong Deming took a deep breath, swept his large hand across the storage soul tool, and once again took out his trump card: the defensive soul tool.

A pair of level nine defensive soul-guided arm armors, possessing an invincible shield defensive skill, were developed by him shortly after he became a level nine soul master.

A trigger-activated level nine defensive soul-guided inner armor, which is also the predecessor of the humanoid soul-guided battle armor.

"What's going on with Elder Kong?"

The Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire stood in the courtyard, looking at the three level-nine defensive soul tools that Kong Deming had taken out one after another, his expression full of puzzlement.

Is it really necessary to take this so seriously when it's just a test of a Soul Bone Skill?
"It's better to be serious!"

"Your Majesty, Junior Uncle's Soul Bone Technique will absolutely blow your mind."

Ma Xiaotao stood to the side and said with a grin.

She had truly witnessed the power of the Ice Blast Technique, while the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone at that time was only 85,000 years old.

Now that the Soul Bone's lifespan has been increased to 500,000 years, Ma Xiaotao can hardly imagine how terrifying the power of the 500,000-year-old Ice Explosion Technique would be.

“Is it that strong?”

The emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was somewhat skeptical, after all, no matter how powerful the Soul Bone Skill was, the difference in Soul Power was still significant!
Although Kong Deming's Silver Moon Divine Light Shield is temporarily unusable, his soul power of level 95 is a full 25 levels higher than Dugu Han's level 70 soul power!

A difference of 25 levels in soul power is something that even a typical soul master might not be able to break through.

At this moment, Kong Deming, who was thousands of meters in the air, was also ready!

He donned the trigger-activated armor, wore a level nine defensive arm guard on each arm, and held a heavy level nine defensive shield in his hand.

"I'm ready!"

Kong Deming stared intently at Dugu Han, not daring to be careless in the face of the 500,000-year-old ice explosion technique.

Dugu Han glanced at the distance between the two of them again.

The distance is only 100 meters!

After thinking for a moment, he immediately flew backward at high speed.

He stopped when he was a kilometer away from Kong Deming.

Ice Blast is an explosive skill, much like a fixed-position soul-guided cannonball; once it explodes, it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Moreover, the higher the age of the soul bone, the greater the demand for soul power when using soul bone skills.

Although Dugu Han possesses an ultimate martial soul, his soul power, after being compressed, is far more abundant than that of ordinary people, enabling him to use soul rings and soul bone skills that last for 100,000 years.

However, he worried that if he used a Soul Bone Technique with a lifespan of up to 500,000 years, his soul power would be instantly drained.

After Dugu Han stopped, he immediately began to possess his martial spirit.

The moment the Frost Dragon possessed him, the ice elements in the sky immediately became active.

Compared to the ground, the air above 1,000 meters is extremely cold, and the ice element extends to the far north.

This place is practically a natural battlefield for ice-attribute soul masters.

At the same time, six astonishing spirit rings, one purple, one black, and one red, rose up in succession.

"An incredible soul ring combination."

Even though Kong Deming had already seen Dugu Han's soul ring configuration in person, he still couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it again.

The first and second soul rings of a thousand years can be improved through secret techniques, such as the Body Sect's secret techniques.

However, obtaining a third spirit ring that takes ten thousand years, or a fifth or sixth spirit ring that takes one hundred thousand years, is definitely not something that can be achieved through shortcuts or secret techniques.

"I really don't know how this kid did it."

Kong Deming shook his head, stopped thinking wildly, and began to wait with bated breath for Dugu Han's full power to erupt.

Dugu Han also wanted to test his full strength, so he didn't hold back and activated all three of his amplification soul skills.

First soul skill: Blessing of the Ice God!
Second Soul Skill: Ice Soul Dragon Fist!
Fifth Soul Skill: Ultimate Ice Amplification!

With the three amplifying soul skills, Dugu Han's aura immediately began to soar.

A pure, unparalleled chill emanated from his body, condensing all the water molecules in the surrounding air into tiny ice particles that floated in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Han's 100,000-year-old right leg bone lit up: Eight-cornered Ice Source Condensation!
In an instant, all the ice elements within a ten-kilometer radius of him in the sky seemed to be summoned by an emperor, and rushed madly into Dugu Han's body.

In a short while, Dugu Han's aura surged again, and the chill emanating from his body became even more intense.

Even Kong Deming couldn't help but shiver as he sensed the chill.

"Such pure chill!"

"So this is the ultimate ice martial spirit!"

He looked at Dugu Han with a serious expression, his eyes filled with solemnity.

But the next second, Kong Deming's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression was extremely shocked.

Dugu Han's aura surged once again, and a domain rapidly expanded within his body, enveloping everything within a radius of a thousand meters.

The originally azure sky was also dyed an icy blue by the Ice Territory.
