Double Blessings

"Hand it over☆"

Sirin reached into the void and clenched her hand. The ninth-grade Soul Tool, the Deification Platform that sealed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo, fell into her grasp.

At the rear of the battlefield, the Herrscher of Erosion held a black gleam in her hand and looked down at the two fire-attribute Titled Douluo rolling and howling in the snow. Her wicked laughter echoed across the entire battlefield.

As the Herrscher's power was unleashed without restraint, that bone-chilling laughter reverberated in everyone's ears, eroding their minds, their souls, and their flesh.

"Spread. Expand. Fill every corner of this world."

"Ahhh—!!!"

The human soul masters' resistance seemed utterly insignificant before the Herrscher of Erosion. The barrier in the sky gradually faded, while the dark-blue demonic light spreading across the ground covered an area of more than twenty kilometers.

The Herrscher of the Void casually waved her hand, scattering purple-red crystals that burrowed into the bodies of three helpless Titled Douluo.

After anguished screams rang out one after another, their flesh began to writhe violently. In the end, they transformed into three beasts with snow-white bodies, dark-purple markings on their heads and forelimbs, and crimson streams of light flickering atop their heads.

Sirin counted on her fingers. "Barely Chariot-class."

As for the soul master army of over ten thousand, it was completely swallowed by Honkai Energy under the Herrscher of Erosion's power.

They wore uniform outfits in different colors, their eyes hollow. Based on the martial souls they had possessed in life and the abilities they had excelled at, they wielded different weapons—scythes, bows, and twin blades.

A faint ripple of space stirred as Lu Xueling appeared at Sirin's side. He chuckled helplessly. "Queen, Shi Bao, you two had your fun, but the Honkai Energy on my end was nearly unable to keep up."

Yet when his gaze fell upon the ten thousand Deadwalkers and the three Chariot-class Honkai Beasts, Lu Xueling felt that he had made a killing.

In the Honkai World where he had first been, the primary source of a Herrscher's power was the Imaginary Space. The world of reality was called Real Space. Herrschers possessed such immense power because they could use their Herrscher Cores as keys to channel Honkai Energy from the Imaginary Space into Real Space.

Lu Xueling's Honkai God Simulation System could simulate this as well. Any Herrscher created or recruited by him could draw Honkai Energy through his Imaginary Space.

Herrscher of Erosion created 10,000 Deadwalkers and brought Honkai to the world. A total of 600 HW Honkai Energy has been returned to the host.

Herrscher of the Void Sirin created three Chariot-class Honkai Beasts. A total of 700 HW Honkai Energy has been returned to the host.

Including the 700 HW of Honkai Energy previously provided by Shi Bao and Huo Yuhao, as long as he obtained a suitable medium and used the authority of the Honkai God Simulation System to condense a complete Herrscher Core, Lu Xueling could create another Herrscher of his own!

Naturally, Lu Xueling had long thought of a suitable medium, and it was currently in Sirin's hands.

Taking the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo formed from the Snow Empress from Sirin's hand, a thread of purple-red light flowed from Lu Xueling's fingertips, as though testing something.

Sirin had already shaken her head. "Human, this thing alone is probably nowhere near enough."

Three seconds later, Lu Xueling opened his eyes again. His gaze turned once more toward the Far North, and the corners of his lips curled up. "It's fine. Aren't there two more? Put all three together, and I refuse to believe we still can't create the Ice Herrscher Core! Let's go!!"

They acted at once. With a snap of her fingers, Sirin stored the three Chariot-class Honkai Beasts and over ten thousand Deadwalkers within some space.

The two Herrschers and their god set off once more, charging unimpeded into the core region of the Far North. The air in this godforsaken place was exceptionally dry, and bitter winds swept up vast sheets of snow that cut through everything on the ground like blades, leaving not a blade of grass growing anywhere.

Even human soul masters at the Titled Douluo level found it difficult to survive here for long. Resisting this environment of extreme cold required an enormous amount of Soul Power every moment. Once their Soul Power was exhausted, their final fate would be to sleep forever beneath this land, becoming food for soul beasts or an eternal marker in this place.

High above a steep ice field, the figures of the two Herrschers appeared. Without a word, they released their auras. As for Lu Xueling, all he needed to do was hide well in some inconspicuous corner and serve as their mobile fountain.

Sirin raised her voice and began provoking them wildly. "The Snow Maiden is in our hands. Vermin, if you have the guts, come save your king together!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!

Only three seconds passed before the previously tranquil Far North underwent a tremendous change. The originally pitch-black clouds suddenly churned violently twice, and then green and dark-gray light instantly spread from the distant northern horizon.

"Brazen humans, you dare capture the Snow Empress... Today, this emperor will make sure every last one of you dies without a burial place!!"

"Humans! Return the Snow Empress, or prepare to become this king's lunch!!"

Crisp and deep voices rang out from every direction. Accompanied by waves of surging sound, the snow on the ground shot nearly ten meters into the air in an instant, like waves abruptly stirred up. Yet within a hundred-meter radius around the two Herrschers, everything remained calm.

The one charging in from the left was an enormous figure over a hundred meters tall. It looked like a giant covered in ice spikes, and its size rivaled Little Bella Dragon in her complete form. Behind it followed more than ten gigantic soul beasts, each also over ten meters tall.

The figures appearing on the right seemed much smaller—a group of emerald-green scorpions only the size of adults. Yet despite the enormous difference in size, the group of scorpions was collectively stronger than the giants on the left.

The leading Ice Scorpion was only one and a half meters long, its silver-white mouthparts glinting with an eerie cold light. The front half of its body, layered with four layers of ice-blue armor, was covered in a special kind of scales. Its forebody and six slender yet powerful legs gleamed brilliantly under the green light reflected off the snow.

The Ice Empress Scorpion and the Titan Snow Demon King had even brought their respective clans with them. Watching from the shadows, Lu Xueling felt that the creation of the Ice Herrscher Core was now within reach.

Fallen Angel God Qian Renxue is attempting to resist the erosion of Honkai Energy. Honkai Energy resistance is continuously increasing...

The system's sudden notification took him by surprise. This truly was double blessings.

Without Honkai Energy resistance, a lifeform would have absolutely no possibility of becoming a Herrscher. Lu Xueling guessed that Qian Renxue had most likely suffered some kind of stimulation, causing her to awaken the Honkai Crystal he had left her.

In Lu Xueling's perception, beyond resentment and anger, Qian Renxue's emotions now also contained a desire for power—a desire for Honkai.
