Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 215 A Soul Fire of a Special Origin

"It seems that the soul core system in this world also carries certain risks."

Old Yi stroked his staff, quietly observing the changes inside.

Although the transformation of ultimate attributes can only be mastered by the realm of divine consciousness, it does not mean that this situation is truly irreversible.

If you really have to describe it, it's like a pointer that was already around 55 being suddenly pulled to 59, with the remaining force just barely pushing it past the limit.

As long as the subsequent transmission of ice-attribute power is precise and stable enough, the pointers that are swinging left and right on both sides of the boundary will eventually fall back to the frost side.

Of course, if an uncontrollable berserk attribute siphon occurs, then Elder Yi will have no choice but to decisively release the newly formed soul core like fireworks.

"Snow Empress... what's going on?"

Huo Yuhao frowned as he examined the soul core in front of him. He had clearly been able to reliably connect with it using his spiritual power, and was just one step away from absorbing it into his body, but now this had happened.

So, is it still possible to insert this thing into the body now?
"Perhaps it's a problem with the transfer of soul power..."

Holding the snow lotus, Xue Di focused on sensing the unusual activity within the soul core. She discovered that each wisp of soul power that flowed into it emitted a slightly reddish halo, like the sound of a bell, and brought a fleeting scorching heat.

She has limited research in this area and can only guess at it now.

"Perhaps, too much soul power poured in at once, and the changes were too drastic?"

Xue Di squinted at the frost and coldness surging into it, while Tian Meng behind Huo Yuhao had already taken the initiative to completely sever the soul core.

Then, amidst the gazes of many, the soul core that was on the verge of exploding suddenly calmed down, and even became more and more stable as it absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air.

"Is it really a problem with soul power?"

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and released a ball of soul power that had almost solidified into ice crystals: "Perhaps it's because the soul power froze unevenly? The attribute strength and total amount of each piece of soul power are actually different..."

So if that's the case...
Huo Yuhao had an idea while pondering: "Ice Emperor! Do you remember how you modified your soul power just now?"

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"

Hyotei raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

During their evolution, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan gradually abandoned their deadly poison and transformed into the ultimate form of ice. They did this by repeatedly modifying their soul power attributes, which in turn altered their physical bodies.

In a sense, this is truly an instinct ingrained in one's blood.

"So... can you now fuse a portion of the Sea Princess's power into your soul power? Let's take half of each?"

Huo Yuhao asked tentatively, but to his surprise, after a long while, the Ice Emperor actually sent out a ball of soul power that was both of them simultaneously.

'They actually managed to make it...'

Huo Yuhao was indeed surprised. He had already prepared for everyone to work together, but he didn't expect the Ice Emperor to be so capable.

As for what’s next.

Since this processed power already existed, it was naturally broken down by Huo Yuhao into strands and filled into the soul core.

As expected, although the soul core fluctuated slightly this time, it was still within the normal range.

"There's a show!"

Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Xuedi looked at each other, both of them breathing a sigh of relief.

The beginning is always the hardest, and what follows is an incredibly long and arduous process. Only when Huo Yuhao's soul power attribute can help the soul core complete its transformation and be absorbed into his body... will the task be considered complete.

However, just as the attributes of the Soul Core began to change slightly, subtle changes also began to appear on the Snow Empress, who shared the same origin as the Soul Core.

It seems that this action of sorting out the attributes of the Soul Core also gave her an opportunity to improve.

Although it's not much, it's better than standing still.

...One hundred and thirty-two.

A gigantic serpent moved through the shadows, occasionally leaping out from the shadows of the mermaids and then disappearing into the next shadowy entrance.

Finally, she emerged from beside Elder Yi and whispered her report: "All the mermaids have been imbued with shadow power. As long as they are not too far apart, I can appear from their side at any time."

"Nothing has emerged that can counter this?"

Old Yi glanced at her with some surprise.

The world of magic is all about problem-solving and counter-attacks; in theory, there shouldn't be any abilities that are completely unsolvable.

Yes, but there is only one.

The Serpent King glanced at the girl surrounded by a crowd of mermaids in the center: "She must have inherited the power of the Sea Princess's bloodline, which allows her to detect my movements in advance and has a certain ability to penetrate shadows."

"The power of bloodline..."

Professor Yi calmly continued to push himself to the limit with his research tasks, seemingly unaware that his work hours were already overflowing.

Right now, he still has one more job to do.

That was the ghostly blue flame that was drifting around like a wandering spirit before our eyes...

Logically speaking, the Sea Princess, who had already been transformed into a half-step beast spirit, did not have a physical body, since it had been forcibly destroyed by the magic array on the altar and filled into her origin and soul.

In this situation, even if the opponent enters the demiplane, they cannot generate undead.

However, whether it was due to a collision between the two sets of rules causing a malfunction, or because the beast spirit was judged to be an energy-state physical body, the sea princess, who had already transformed into a soul spirit, actually managed to generate a soul fire of a reduced rank in this demiplane.

This is normal, though. Becoming an undead will reduce one's strength, so it's understandable that this thing, which seems to have appeared by exploiting a loophole in the rules, is of a slightly lower rank.

"If we convert the levels, there should be a Title Douluo level?"

After pondering for a moment, Elder Yi decided to activate the undead generation to see what the soul fire actually looked like.

……

"hiss?"

The sea princess, who had already condensed her spirit body, covered her head and looked up in confusion at the outside of the light array.

For some reason, she always felt as if a small part of her was missing, and upon closer inspection, she would feel a sense of unease and rejection.

"Boom~"

With a soft sound, the icy blue ripples emanating from Huo Yuhao interrupted her thoughts, and then six soul rings appeared layer by layer on his body.

Platinum, three reds, two oranges.

This indescribable and bizarre configuration was revealed in the somewhat silent eyes of the ferocious beasts.

"Is this... a special mark of a ferocious beast's spirit ring?"

Tianmeng pointed blankly at Huo Yuhao's new ring of color: "In the future, there won't be any other kinds of colors to wear, will there?"

"Who knows? Maybe the color will return to normal after the teacher continues to refine it."

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes with a smile, his aura becoming longer than ever before, even carrying the sound of wind and thunder with his breath, and the energy contained in the surrounding air surged accordingly.

The special abilities of a Title Douluo can cause the heavens and earth to change color.

However, this ability has now appeared in a beneficiary form on a level 64 Soul Emperor due to the Soul Core.
