Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 51 Sacrifice
"Now you should be able to listen to my explanation properly, right?"

Tianmeng, who had rolled up her silkworm shell, said with a resentful look, "If even Huo Yuhao can't become a god, then there shouldn't be any viable path to godhood in this world."

really……

Xue Di's gaze swept over the angelic divine sparks for a moment, then settled on the illusory form of Elder Yi.

The human before them possessed resources far exceeding those of anyone else in the world, even surpassing the three who launched the war of gods on the continent ten thousand years ago.

Whether it's becoming a god through faith or directly comprehending the Great Dao and condensing a divine personality, these are probably not unattainable goals for him.

After all, there lies a damaged divine spark belonging to a first-level god within the Sea of ​​Spirit. Even if he only imitates it and creates a poor imitation, he will eventually obtain the ticket to enter the god-level realm.

"Snow Woman...we..."

The voice of Hyotei beside him was hesitant, clearly beginning to waver.

Become a god, live forever.

Even humans can go mad for a vague opportunity to ascend, let alone soul beasts who suffer from heavenly tribulations their entire lives.

As a predator, the Ice Empress didn't care about the spirit beast population as much as the Snow Empress. She'd casually devoured countless so-called members of her own kind on a whim, so why would she talk to her about the conflict between two races or aiding and abetting evil?
All she knew was that this was a chance to change her destiny!

"... "

Xue Di lowered her gaze and struggled for a long time before looking at Elder Yi again, at this mysterious old man who could remain calm and composed in front of her with only his tattered divine sense: "Senior—"

Do you think I am qualified to become a god?

To abandon one's dignity and initiate a sacrifice, thus dedicating oneself to humanity and entrusting one's life to them...

She was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Yuki-onna!"

Hyotei was instantly alarmed.

Given the current situation between humans and beasts, if the Snow Empress dares to transform and rebuild her cultivation, she will inevitably become food for humans! Just surviving for ten years in human society is already an almost impossible task.

"Becoming a god?"

Faced with Xue Di's question, even with Elder Yi's discerning eye, he was somewhat unsure and could only give a vague answer: "If your cultivation path after reincarnation goes smoothly, you should have a 30% chance of stepping into the fields I explored in my previous life."

Faced with this question, Tenmeng Hyotei looked completely bewildered.

Only Xue Di nodded somewhat dejectedly.

She understands.

When one's cultivation reaches the limit allowed by the realm, divine consciousness arises from one's spirit, allowing one to comprehend at least one law and put it into practice, thus glimpsing the power of a god...

That's her limit.

The human sitting before her now, with divine status and this divine consciousness assisting him, will have the same minimum potential for future achievements.

"Tianmeng, tell me your thoughts..."

The Snow Emperor sighed softly.

……

eclipse--

The emerald green scorpion tail lashed through the air and pierced Huo Yuhao's spine. At the same time, a powerful energy from this world emerged from the void, forming a layer of light filled with fine patterns that enveloped the man and the beast.

Tianmeng's plan is simple.

That would be to shatter Huo Yuhao's torso bones and then use the energy from the sacrifice to piece them back together!

Ice Emperor had been accumulating energy at the threshold of 390,000 years for a long time, and the energy he released during the sacrifice had reached 400,000 years. This power, which even a Super Douluo could hardly withstand, was simply not something a one-ring Soul Master could swallow.

As for Xue Di, it was even more outrageous. If this terrifying energy, comparable to the limit, were to be forced into Huo Yuhao's body, it would only turn him into a unique super bomb.

Moreover, the total amount of soul power within a soul beast is already significantly higher than that of a human. It's conceivable that if the Snow Empress's vast source of power were to explode like that, it would likely unleash a devastating explosion comparable to a god-level attack.

therefore--

Huo Yuhao must be transformed into a vessel capable of containing and sealing the essence of the ferocious beast! "The pain of being shattered to pieces, the feeling of being frozen to the bone... I never expected this kid to be so resilient, not uttering a sound."

Xue Di sat cross-legged in front of Huo Yuhao, glanced at his expression, and her opinion of this human who had almost won by doing nothing changed somewhat.

I thought I was just one of the lucky ones who were chosen.

In retrospect, there was a reason why he was chosen by so many opportunities.

As Xue Di slightly raised her hand, Huo Yuhao's hands followed her guidance and met her palms. Pure white energy quickly spread across his arms and surged towards his shattered yet constantly reconstructing torso.

"Well……!"

The pressure on his body suddenly increased dramatically. Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, opened his eyes which were almost bursting open, and his tightly clenched spirit was on the verge of completely collapsing.

He can now faintly hear the sound of tiny ice shards surging and colliding with each other in his blood vessels and meridians.

The entire body will be transformed into a glass vessel filled with ice shards.

"centering."

The Snow Empress, focused on controlling her origin, murmured, then opened her eyes to meet his gaze: "This will be an opportunity for complete transformation. If you can get through it, the future will be bright and boundless."

Click~
It was as if a tiny ice spike pierced Huo Yuhao's pupils, reflecting strange light and shadow in his eyes.

"We have placed our hopes on you..."

The figure, refracting golden light under the sunlight, overlapped with the snow emperor, who was entirely white: "Then please don't let us down."

I.

Will do.

With a sound almost like crushing ice shards, Huo Yuhao struggled to close his eyes, enduring the torment of ice and snow emanating from every pore.

Time passed by, second by second.

But just as it was about to be completed, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly emanated from within the sacrificial aura.

The Snow Empress, who was sitting opposite Huo Yuhao with her palms touching, suddenly looked grim.

"Bing'er? Xue Di?"

Tianmeng, who was anxiously waiting, was startled and rushed forward: "What happened? What's going on?!"

There was no echo, only the fluctuations emanating from the sacrifice grew stronger and stronger, spreading out like ripples on water, pushing the clouds overhead wave after wave to the horizon.

"The container is almost full."

Suddenly, Elder Yi, who had been silently studying the soul beast sacrifice, spoke up, his gaze falling on a blood-red ice spike that had suddenly extended from Huo Yuhao's elbow.

"what?!"

Tianmeng was stunned, her heart filled with unprecedented panic and helplessness. She suddenly slumped onto the sacrificial light layer: "Wait...stop! Stop it now!"

pity.

Once the sacrifice of a soul beast begins, there is no possibility of interruption. Even if a god-level being wants to intervene, it will face the obstruction of the plane's rules.

will die...

Really will die.

Tianmeng's pupils trembled violently: "Yuhao will definitely be stuffed to death! No, how could this happen? The Ice Emperor's torso and bones can completely accommodate the Snow Emperor's essence, right? Why is this happening!"

　It's funny, although the entire Douluo Continent II series should assume that 10 years = level 91, 20 years = level 95, and 40/50+ = level 99, so it would say that the Ice Emperor's 39 years is close to the limit, and that the Ice Bear King's 30 years is close to the limit in terms of home-field combat power, while the Snow Emperor's first appearance in the narration is at over 50 years.

　　However, judging from the actual battles written later in Douluo Continent II, the setting was changed at the last minute. The later part of Douluo Continent II was actually written based on 10 years ≈ peak Soul Douluo/level 91, 20 years ≈ level 93/94, 40 years ≈ level 96, and 70 years ≈ level 99. Moreover, it did not have the messy bloodline bonuses in Douluo Continent III, and the actual performance was quite awful.

　　Therefore, when the Star Dou Beast Tide attacked Shrek Academy, their performance was quite incredible. Di Tian, ​​who had been around for over 800,000 years, didn't show much combat power, and Xiong Jun was even entangled in a battle with a Super Douluo... which was just outrageous.

　　However, when we switch to Douluo Continent I, we find that 10-year-old soul beasts are now equivalent to around 93 or 94, and stronger ones are even 95. Only Super Douluo can surpass them.

　　In the Douluo Continent III era, the bloodline system was stretched thin, leading to a chaotic power structure, as if the power levels were randomly generated. However, there's no doubt that the power of spirit beasts skyrocketed, with a large number of spirit beasts experiencing a dramatic rise in power rankings due to the power hierarchy (the previous table used Douluo Continent III plus the early stages of Douluo Continent II as a baseline, showing that the fluctuations in spirit beast power rankings were indeed quite extreme).
