Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Ice Emperor held Snow Emperor's embryo in front of Ning Rongrong. "Little girl, I will now teach you how to absorb the embryo. Remember, this process will be extremely painful. I will use cold air to reduce your pain. No matter what, you must ensure that your soul power is always running. Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain. Not only will you die, but Snow Emperor will also have no way to survive. Since she is willing to believe in you and take a gamble on you, don't let her down."

"Don't worry, Hyotei. With my Holy Spirit Domain and Tianmeng's million-year spiritual cultivation, I believe Rongrong can endure it." Tianlin was also very distressed about the pain Ning Rongrong would suffer, but love is love, and sometimes suffering is necessary to become stronger.

"Don't worry, for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, for Brother Jian, no matter how painful it is, I will definitely persevere," Ning Rongrong said resolutely. She had already prepared herself mentally.

Good things don't take long to come. Ning Rongrong sat cross-legged and, following the Ice Emperor's method, gradually absorbed the Snow Emperor's soul beast embryo into her body.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Tianlin moved simultaneously. Millions of years of spiritual cultivation protected the souls of Xue Di and Ning Rongrong, while the Holy Spirit Domain allowed Ning Rongrong's body and soul power recovery abilities to reach their peak.

"Ah!!" Even so, Ning Rongrong still let out a shrill scream. The Snow Emperor's cold aura had been mostly contained, but the power of the ultimate ice was still astonishing.

The remaining chill seemed to transform into countless sharp icicles, relentlessly slicing through every inch of Ning Rongrong's skin. Her face turned ashen, as if she were in a frozen hell.

At this moment, Hyotei pierced Ning Rongrong's back with the sharp stinger of his scorpion tail, controlling the cold air to rush towards Ning Rongrong's pain nerves, so that she could temporarily lose the sensation of pain and feel much better.

Although this was only a drop in the ocean, Hyotei could sense from Ning Rongrong's body's reaction that this little human's body was incredibly resilient, with very few impurities in it, and although her sea of ​​consciousness fluctuated violently, there was no sign of it collapsing.

A sense of envy welled up in Hyotei's heart. Human talent and potential were indeed unmatched by any noble-blooded soul beast.

"Rongrong, hang in there. This is your moment of transformation. Brother Jian will also do his best." Tianlin encouraged her while maximizing the power of his Holy Spirit Domain.

This also caused him to suffer an extremely high drain on his own soul power and mental strength.

After a full six hours, Tianlin's power was almost depleted, but Ning Rongrong was still gritting her teeth and persevering. The difficulty of directly absorbing a soul beast embryo into a martial soul was indeed incomparable to absorbing a soul ring; it was far too difficult.

After this experience, Ning Rongrong will undoubtedly grow greatly not only in terms of strength but also in terms of mentality.

"Xiao Tian, ​​weaken the power of your Holy Spirit Domain, otherwise, not to mention Ning Rongrong, you yourself will not be able to hold on," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said anxiously.

“No, as soon as the Holy Spirit Domain is withdrawn, Rongrong will be in danger of her body being torn apart. I promised to protect her, Brother Tianmeng. When have I, Jun Tianlin, ever broken my word?” Tianlin insisted.

"Two good children, Tianmeng. You really made the right choice." Bingdi nodded appreciatively at Tianlin. Both children have good character, and it seems she needs to make plans for them soon.

Will they continue to reign supreme in the far north and spend their final days there, or will they seize this opportunity to become the companion beasts of the two gods?

Finally, Hyotei sighed, "Never mind, Yukiteri is gone, so I didn't really have a choice."

Just then, the Holy Spirit Realm suddenly changed. Golden light flowed around the realm, and despite the icy and snowy landscape, lush green grass sprouted from the ground.

"This is the Holy Spirit Domain that Xiao Tian opened when he absorbed my million-year soul ring!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise. Tian Lin had only opened this domain once with the help of Nuwa's descendants, but now he had achieved it on his own and completely mastered it.

"Second level of the Holy Spirit Domain, Endless Life!" Tianlin shouted, and endless life force surged towards Ning Rongrong.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's body coldness completely subsided, and behind her, a huge snow maiden's shadow gradually emerged.

"We succeeded!" Hyotei exclaimed excitedly. "Let's strike while the iron is hot!"

Suddenly, Ice Emperor opened a sacrificial barrier. She finally made her decision and, like Tianmeng, became Ning Rongrong's Wisdom Soul Ring.

It just so happens that the martial soul that Xue Di transformed into is not yet very stable. Since she has the same attributes as Xue Di, with her power assisting her, she can better help Ning Rongrong stabilize her new martial soul.

This was the moment when Ning Rongrong's will was at its strongest. She had even withstood the absorption of a 700,000-year-old martial soul, so what was a mere 390,000-year-old soul ring under the circumstances of sacrifice?

Unfortunately, Tianlin no longer had the power to further enhance Bingdi's abilities; otherwise, her 400,000-year-old spirit ring would have been even stronger.

When Xue Di's martial soul fusion was successful, he had already exhausted his power and collapsed on the snow.

Chapter 387 Ning Rongrong, the Ice and Snow Maiden, and Her Powerful Second Martial Soul

Opening his eyes in a daze, Tianlin still saw a white expanse, but he was in a cave. In the far north, even the cave was full of snow. However, for some reason, Tianlin, who couldn't raise any soul power at all, didn't feel cold at all.

"Brother Jian, you're finally awake." Ning Rongrong's joyful voice rang in Tianlin's ears.

Tianlin slowly got up and asked, "Rongrong, how many days have I been unconscious?"

"It's been seven whole days. Sister Xue Nu and Sister Bing said that you forcibly enhanced your domain to help me, causing excessive consumption of your mental energy. Thank goodness you have a million-year-old skull protecting you, otherwise they said that if it were someone else, they might never have woken up." Ning Rongrong's voice was trembling with tears, which showed how worried she had been these past few days.

"Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor?" Tianlin thought of something. "By the way, Rongrong, you finally succeeded, right? Are you feeling any discomfort now?"

Seeing that Tianlin thought of her first thing upon waking up, Ning Rongrong was deeply moved. She reassured him, "Brother Jian, don't worry, I'm fine. Look!"

Ning Rongrong stood up and released her second martial soul, the Ice and Snow Maiden.

The original Ning Rongrong had a green dress, brown hair and green eyes, like jade. Now she has white hair and blue eyes, her dress is covered with blue ice crystals, and she floats in mid-air.

If the original Ning Rongrong was full of elegant beauty, then the current Ning Rongrong is cold and aloof, with her charm being three times stronger than before.

At the same time, two red spirit rings revolved around the Snow Maiden's spirit. The first spirit ring came from the Ice Snow Maiden and was 700,000 years old, while the second spirit ring came from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and was 390,000 years old.

Ever since Ning Rongrong activated her martial soul, all the surrounding cold air rushed towards her. Tianlin now understood why this place was so warm; it turned out that Ning Rongrong could now freely manipulate the cold air within a small area.

She has truly risen to the top in one step. Now, in terms of talent, apart from Tian Lin, even Qian Renxue, or even the deceased original protagonist Tang San, might not be able to compare with her.

"Brother Jian, what do you think? Isn't Rongrong pretty now?" Ning Rongrong threw herself into Tianlin's arms, her face full of praise.

With such a cold and aloof face, yet making such a coquettish and adorable gesture, this unexpected charm amplifies her allure exponentially, almost causing Tianlin to lose control.

"Ahem! You two, this is not the time for intimacy." Just then, two women's voices rang out, and two spirits appeared behind Ning Rongrong. They were Xue Di and Bing Di. As planned by Tianmeng Bingcan, they had indeed become intelligent soul rings and were now living together in Ning Rongrong's spiritual sea, which made Tianmeng Bingcan extremely envious.

Because the Ice Crystal Lotus protected her soul, Xue Di did not turn into a loli like in the original story; she remained the same aloof and elegant older sister.

During the few days that Tianlin was in a coma, she had learned about their past through Ning Rongrong. She and Bingdi both had a good impression of the two children.

“Little Tian, ​​Rongrong has protected you for seven whole days, and even encountered danger during that time. What you need to do now is to recover your soul power as soon as possible so that you can protect her in return in this far north. I heard from Rongrong that you want to go find the Fire in the Ice, is that right? That place is no joke, so we can’t waste any more time,” said the Snow Emperor.

"Danger! Rongrong, are you hurt?" Tianlin asked with concern.

"So this guy didn't hear anything else, he only heard that Rongrong was in danger." Hyotei shook her head and complained, "No wonder he and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm are such good friends, they're just like each other."

"No, Sister Snow Empress is exaggerating. It wasn't that dangerous. It was just that when I was hiding here, I encountered a Titan Snow Demon that was over 60,000 years old. I just casually turned it into a soul ring. It scared me to death. Luckily, it wasn't the Titan Snow Demon King, or I wouldn't have been able to defeat it," Ning Rongrong said with lingering fear.

"You casually made a soul ring? Rongrong, you soloed the 60,000-year-old Titan Snow Demon. No, what level are you now? The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can absorb the seventh ring?" Tianlin was stunned for a moment. Just now, the Ice Snow Maiden's martial soul only had two rings, so Ning Rongrong must have put the Titan Snow Demon's soul ring on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"I'm level 73 now. I never expected that my two older sisters would give me so much more soul power. In addition to the two super soul rings, they also provided me with soul bones. Sister Xue Nu gave me the torso bone, while Sister Bing Di gave me the right arm bone," Ning Rongrong explained.

“Xiao Tian, ​​what’s there to doubt? Oslo broke through with just a few ten-thousand-year soul bones and a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Not to mention Rongrong, her torso bone alone is comparable to Oslo’s entire body.” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said with a matter of course.

If the two Heavenly Kings of the far north offered sacrifices together and couldn't even raise Ning Rongrong's level by ten, that would be too beneath them.

Tianlin nodded. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was right; it should be this level. What surprised Tianlin was Ning Rongrong's combat ability. She had just obtained her second martial soul and was able to kill a 60,000-year-old soul beast single-handedly.

Although Ning Rongrong doesn't have many spirit rings on her Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul, she has quite a few skills for combat.

Two beast spirit rings and two beast spirit bones provided her with eight combat moves in one go.

Ning Rongrong explained her abilities to Tianlin bit by bit. Among them, the two soul skills provided by the right arm bone of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion were the powerful physical attack skill Ice Emperor's Turtle and the indestructible physical defense skill Ice Emperor's Protection.

The soul rings are domain-type soul skills, such as Eternal Frozen Domain, which can freeze thousands of miles in an instant, and Ice Emperor's Wrath, the Ice Emperor's strongest move, which has super freezing power.

The Ice and Snow Maiden's soul bone skill is Emperor Cold Heaven - Snow Dance Shining Sun, a domain-type soul skill. Similar to the Eternal Frozen Domain, the two domains can merge to unleash earth-shattering power.

In addition, there is a support-type soul skill, Ice and Snow, which can change the weather and bring down endless ice and snow. After all, the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul can only unleash its full combat power in such an environment.

Her Soul Ring Skills are Emperor Palm - Great Cold Without Snow and Emperor Sword - Unparalleled Ice Extreme, two extremely powerful attack Soul Skills. Ning Rongrong, who obtained the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul, Soul Rings and Soul Bone, completely inherited her famous skills Emperor Sword, Emperor Palm, and Emperor Cold Heaven.

Their trip to the far north was incredibly fruitful. They not only defeated Tang Hao and took all six of his soul bones, but Ning Rongrong also underwent a complete transformation. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda obtained its sixth and seventh soul rings, unlocking its true martial soul form. Furthermore, the Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul was so powerful that it was almost comparable to a god-level martial soul.

Judging from the current situation, Ning Rongrong should be able to gain the Sea God's approval now, right? Tianlin directly opened his soul tool and took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Chapter 388 The Fifth Trial of the Asura God

"Rongrong, do as I say, slowly channel your spiritual energy into this Vast Ocean Universe Cover," Tianlin said earnestly.

Now is the crucial moment. Tianlin has worked so hard for so long, hoping that Ning Rongrong can break the limit of only being a second-level god in the original work and reach the position of a first-level god.

Ning Rongrong took the triangular dome and, following Tianlin's instructions, first activated her Blue Spirit Holy Eye to maximize her spiritual power, then slowly channeled it into the dome.

She had always trusted Tianlin completely.

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover, imbued with spiritual energy, seemed to come alive and stabbed towards Ning Rongrong's forehead, its sharp tip leaving a small gash.

Instantly, blood flowed, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover spun around, then lay flat on Ning Rongrong's forehead wound, as if it had a spirit. Ning Rongrong's blood continued to flow into it, and the original blue aura gradually turned red.

Not long after, a faint blue light drifted out from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, condensing into a very faint phantom. A calm yet aged voice rang out, "Haha, not bad, not bad. I wonder how much time has passed before we finally found a physique capable of withstanding the power of the Vast Ocean, and the mental strength, physical qualities, and martial soul attributes are all very suitable."

A flash of blue light disappeared back into the triangular shape within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The halo around the triangle suddenly receded, detaching from the wound on Ning Rongrong's forehead and settling into her palm. At this moment, the triangle had returned to its blue color, with only a faint red glow flashing at its core.

Tianlin quickly stepped forward and used the power of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to heal the wound on Ning Rongrong's forehead. For a girl, whether or not she can inherit the divine position is secondary; having a wound on such a beautiful face might be a greater blow.

"That was just a phantom of a god, and a legendary first-level god at that, the Sea God!" The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were overjoyed. They clearly heard what the Sea God had just said, and the meaning behind it was very clear: Ning Rongrong now had the qualifications to inherit the position of Sea God.

They made the right bet this time.

Tianlin nodded in satisfaction. All his hard work had finally paid off. With the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, Ning Rongrong's safety would be guaranteed. The Vast Ocean Protective Shield and Vast Ocean Mind Stabilizing Shield skills in this artifact were truly life-saving divine skills.

"Rongrong, from now on, this Vast Ocean Universe Cover belongs to you. You must make good use of its power." Tianlin said with a smile, taking Ning Rongrong's hand.

Ning Rongrong nodded seriously, "Yes, don't worry, Brother Jian, I won't let you down."

She knew how hard Tianlin had worked to help her transform, and if she didn't try her best, she would really be ungrateful.

Just then, a light flashed from the Asura Sword Mark on Tianlin's forehead.

"The fourth test of the Asura God: Reactivate the Heart of the Sea God, and use perseverance and wisdom to create a successor to the Sea God. If the task is completed beyond the target, the Asura God's affinity will be rewarded by 15%, currently at 40%."

Tianlin has completed the fourth trial of the Asura God. However, although everyone says he exceeded expectations, he only received affinity points and no other rewards. At least he should have received a divinely bestowed soul ring. He is already level 80 and is in dire need of a soul ring to advance.

Tianlin sighed; the Asura God was as stingy as ever.

"Never mind, let's check what the next test is first." Tianlin summoned his fifth Divine Test Card.

"The fifth trial of the Asura God: Advancement to Title Douluo, time limit: three years!"

"You want me to be promoted to a title within three years?" Tianlin was taken aback. The Asura God's test clearly indicated that he wanted Tianlin to grow faster.

Generally, the assessments for godhood are related in some way. For example, when he hunted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he used the Heart of the Sea God, thus owing the Sea God a favor, which he had to repay in the subsequent assessment.

The fact that the Asura God is so eager for Tianlin to improve his strength at this moment suggests that he has some task to assign to him in the upcoming assessment.

Tianlin has just reached level 80. This task is almost impossible for others to complete. The difficulty of cultivating from level 80 to level 90 is quite terrifying, even for someone with innate full soul power.

It would take at least ten or twenty years to break through.

But Tianlin is different. Not to mention that his meditation method is far more advanced than that of the native Douluo Continent, he also has the Holy Spirit Domain that has been advanced. After reaching the second level of endless life, this domain has increased Tianlin's cultivation speed by at least fifty percent.

Moreover, his slow-speed period of extreme attributes has passed, and he is now in a period of rapid cultivation. His three years are equivalent to fifteen years for an ordinary innate full-strength soul master. He has absolute confidence in completing it.

The most urgent task now is to obtain the eighth spirit ring and enter the Soul Douluo realm.

"Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, I heard from Brother Tianmeng that there is a very special place in the far north, where the scorching heat is hidden in the extreme cold. Is that true?" Tianlin opened his external soul bone and asked the two spirits behind Ning Rongrong.

“There is indeed such a legend, but I have never been there. Hyotei, however, has fought against creatures that came from there. You can ask her,” said Yuki-tei.

"Actually, I stepped in by accident. It was said to be in the far north, but it doesn't actually exist in the present world. It's in another space, connected by a spatial rift. That space and the far north are like opposite sides of each other, incredibly hot. Guarding that spatial rift is a fire and earth dual-attribute soul beast, the Flame Lord, about 200,000 years old. It's very powerful, and I had to use all my strength to defeat it," Ice Emperor recalled. "However, I don't know if that rift is still there. I can take you to see it later."

"A dual fire and earth attribute, a two-hundred-thousand-year-old fire lord!" Upon hearing this, Tianlin was immediately tempted.

The spirit of Yan, a member of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, is the Flame Lord, which can rival the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. This shows the power of this spirit beast. Moreover, it has both fire and earth attributes and is of very high age, making it perfect for him.
