Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Ye Chen immediately looked away, and the terrifying feeling of being locked on disappeared.

Hyotei patted her chest, then glared angrily at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, are you doing this on purpose? You know I'm a coward, yet you still scare me!"

"Haha, how could that be~"

Ye Chen laughed and then explained, "The second soul skill is very special. It belongs to the category of mental attacks, and its effect is to directly determine mental strength."

"Mental strength assessment?"

Xue Di raised an eyebrow, a look of confusion on her face.

"Correct."

Ye Chen nodded, "When I activate 'Final Gaze' to lock onto a target, I will instantly determine the absolute strength of both parties' mental power."

"If my mental strength is equal to or greater than that of my target... then I can directly strip them of their soul and obliterate their consciousness! No matter how strong their physical body is or how solid their defenses are, as long as their mental strength is crushed by me, they will surely die!"

hiss--!
Even the Snow Emperor, with all her experience and knowledge, couldn't help but gasp in shock!
Directly stripping away the soul?

Ignoring physical defenses?

This soul skill is more domineering and abnormal than Ye Chen's "Ice Soul Evil Eye", and it is equally unreasonable!
Hyotei's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"What if the other person's mental strength is stronger than yours?"

Xue Di quickly calmed down and asked the core question.

Although Ye Chen's mental strength is very strong, the world is vast, and there may be beings whose mental strength surpasses Ye Chen's.

"If the opponent's mental strength is higher than mine."

Ye Chen shrugged and said, "Then the probability of successfully depriving the other party of their soul with 'Final Gaze' is not 100%. The higher the opponent's mental strength is compared to mine, the lower the probability of successfully depriving them of their soul. I don't know the exact probability."

This soul skill allows Ye Chen to completely dominate any opponent; with just a glance, he can instantly strip away their soul.

Ye Chen can seal the opponent's soul or crush it directly; the opponent's life or death is in Ye Chen's hands.

If the enemy's mental strength is higher than Ye Chen's...

Well, under normal circumstances, Ye Chen would not provoke such an unknown opponent.

Moreover, this soul skill consumes 50% of Ye Chen's total mental energy. Although Ye Chen recovered quickly, the battle between experts is over in an instant, and Ye Chen can only release it twice in that instant.

Of course, if Ye Chen had a few more seconds, he could have used it several times. If the opponent's mental strength was not much higher than Ye Chen's, it would be easy for them to fall for it.

Upon hearing this, both Hyotei and Yuki-tei fell silent.

Ye Chen's soul skill is simply too overpowered; it relies entirely on mental strength. With Ye Chen's mental strength, he is probably virtually unmatched on this continent.

"Hehe, it's not over yet."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the corpse of the Evil Emperor.

With a casual gesture, Ye Chen captured a dark blue eye in his hand.

Its pupils were about the size of a palm, radiating an eerie color.

"This is... an external soul bone!"

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress widened their beautiful eyes in shock.

As soul beasts, they naturally knew what external soul bones were.

The probability of a soul beast producing a soul bone after its death is extremely small, and among the soul bones, there is an even smaller probability that it is an external soul bone.

External soul bones are more powerful than soul bones in some aspects because they can grow and even evolve!
Although the conditions for evolving external soul bones are extremely demanding, there is still a chance to become stronger, which is better than fixed soul bones. Of course, external soul bones do not occupy soul bone slots, meaning their potential is much greater than others.

"This is not just an external soul bone, but also a great tonic for spiritual power," Ye Chen said slowly.

After the Evil Emperor died, he stored most of his spiritual essence in this Evil Eye.

The Evil Emperor's original plan was to possess Ye Chen through a soul ring, and then absorb the vast spiritual essence within the Evil Eye to allow Ye Chen to recover quickly.

Unfortunately, the Evil Emperor's attempt to possess Ye Chen failed, and the powerful spiritual essence within the Evil Eye naturally benefited Ye Chen.

After absorbing the Evil Emperor's soul ring, Ye Chen not only increased his cultivation level, but also greatly enhanced his spiritual power.

Ye Chen's original spiritual power had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm, and after absorbing the Evil Emperor's soul ring, Ye Chen's spiritual power has now reached the peak of the Spirit Realm.

He was so close to advancing to the legendary "Divine Origin Realm," which is the realm of a god!
Although it's just one step away, that one step is like an insurmountable chasm for soul masters who haven't become gods, a chasm they can hardly cross in their entire lives.

Even Ye Chen could only rely on the daily system sign-in rewards to slowly grind it out, and it would take at least half a year to break through.

Now, with the Evil Eye, Ye Chen felt that his chances of breaking through the final barrier to the Divine Origin Realm had become extremely high.

Without further hesitation, he sat cross-legged back on the cold ground.

The dark blue evil eye hovered silently in front of him, emitting powerful mental fluctuations.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and his soul power, like a gentle stream, slowly enveloped the dark blue evil eye in his palm.

He immersed his mind in it, guiding the most fundamental spiritual power belonging to the Evil Emperor.

The moment Ye Chen's spiritual power came into contact with the core of the Evil Eye.

"Om-!"

A spiritual torrent, far more vast than when absorbing the spirit rings before, suddenly erupted.

Because the Evil Emperor's consciousness was gone, this force did not carry any malice. However, the sudden impact of such a massive spiritual force on Ye Chen's sea of ​​consciousness still stirred up waves within it.

"Really cool!"

Feeling the immense spiritual power within, Ye Chen was secretly delighted and began to absorb it with all his might!
As Ye Chen absorbed the energy, his spiritual sea also underwent changes.
Just as Ye Chen was absorbing the energy with all his might, a sudden change occurred!

The entire primordial energy of the Demon Forest seemed to be summoned and drawn by an invisible force, and began to stir wildly!

From all directions, invisible whirlwinds began to form, emitting a low, mournful wail.

These whirlwinds are not ordinary winds, but are composed of dense, almost liquefied, primordial energy of heaven and earth!
They surged forth like milky-white dragons from the depths of the forest, even from distant ley lines, continuously rushing towards Ye Chen.

The sky began to change color.

The sky, which was originally shrouded in the gray-purple gloom unique to the Demon Forest, seemed to be parted by an invisible hand.

But it wasn't a clear blue sky; instead, it presented a strange scene.

The clouds were stirred up by an invisible force, forming a huge spiral cloud vortex that covered the sky for dozens of miles around!
The colors of the clouds are also changing dramatically.

Dark gray, dark purple, silver white, ice blue...

Various colors tumble, intertwine, and collide in the clouds.

The light between heaven and earth became extremely unstable, flickering between bright and dim, and the entire Demon Forest was shrouded in this bizarre and surreal celestial phenomenon.
