Douluo: The Rebirth of the Supreme King Dong'er

Ice Empress spoke sincerely, and Wang Dong'er could not disregard her thoughts.

Just as she had told Ice Empress back then, she felt the same way about Snow Empress.

As for the friendship in the Extreme North that Ice Empress spoke of, Wang Dong'er did not doubt it either.

Mission: Snow Empress's Choice

Mission Description: You have given Snow Empress the right to choose whether to become a Soul Spirit. Based on Snow Empress's choice, you will receive different mysterious rewards.

The mission panel had not appeared for a long time, yet it suddenly showed up this time. However, the reward would depend on Snow Empress's choice.

Snow Empress looked somewhat conflicted.

Unlike Ice Empress, whose end was approaching and who lacked a heavenly treasure like the Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to seal her origin and rebuild herself into human form, Snow Empress had already successfully rebuilt herself. She only needed to gradually recover her strength, completely become human, and eventually attempt to become a god.

Naturally, Snow Empress did not completely believe what Wang Dong'er had said, but neither did she dismiss it outright.

Should she continue rebuilding herself and gamble on a chance to become a god, or follow Wang Dong'er and become a Soul Spirit while retaining her soul?

Though Ice Empress was anxious inside, she did not show it. She merely watched Snow Empress's little face twist with indecision.

"Phew—" After a long while, Snow Empress let out a breath, raised her little face, and looked earnestly at Wang Dong'er.

"From now on, I entrust my life to you."

She had made her decision. Wang Dong'er was someone who created miracles, and she was connected to the Imperial Auspicious Beast. In a sense, she could be considered one of their soul beast kind.

Rebuilding herself into human form had only been a helpless choice after she could no longer survive her great limit. Either way, she was gambling on a chance to become a god—what difference did it make which path she gambled on?

By comparison, Snow Empress truly believed that following Wang Dong'er offered greater odds.

Even if she cultivated herself back to the level of a Limit Douluo, it would make no difference unless she became a god. In the end, she would still become a mound of dirt.

"Snow Empress's Choice" mission completed. Received mysterious reward: Secret Method Soul Soul Bone, Hundred-Thousand-Year Gold Edition.

Wang Dong'er was speechless.

What did "Gold Edition" even mean? A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Was this a Soul Bone produced by Penguin?

Hearing Snow Empress's answer, Ice Empress smiled. "Snow Maiden, welcome."

Snow Empress slightly turned her little face away.

"Teacher, can you still perform the Spirit Transfer Ritual now?" Wang Dong'er asked Electrolux.

"I can, but you have not yet reached four rings. For now, you cannot add another Soul Spirit."

Wang Dong'er snapped her fingers. "Easy. I just need to become a Soul Ancestor."

With that, Wang Dong'er stopped concealing herself. Her cultivation of rank thirty-eight was revealed!

After obtaining Ice Empress as a Soul Spirit, her Soul Power had already increased. Not to mention that Ice Empress had also fused with a Soul Bone, which could further raise her Soul Power.

Moreover, Wang Dong'er's physique was exceptionally strong to begin with, allowing her to bear more power. She had been suppressing it before Tang San's soul descent ritual, but now that it had been fully unleashed, all these factors combined meant that even though the cultivation speed of her twin Extreme martial souls would slow after rank thirty, she was still far faster than ordinary soul masters.

As long as, when fusing Snow Empress as a Soul Spirit, she first fused the Soul Bone like she had with Ice Empress, the resulting increase in Soul Power would be enough to bring Wang Dong'er precisely to rank forty.

Snow Empress Soul Spirit, Mutation

Everything was just right.

Compared to others, Wang Dong'er even had a particularly unique advantage.

For Twin Martial Souls like Xiao Xiao's, she did not dare add too many soul rings to her second martial soul before cultivating her first martial soul to nine rings.

In the early stages, her physique simply could not withstand attaching overly powerful soul rings to her second martial soul.

But Wang Dong'er was different. Her ability to withstand power was incredibly strong.

That was why, the moment Ice Empress became her Soul Spirit, her Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul immediately gained three soul rings.

The further she progressed, the stronger her physique would become, and the greater her carrying capacity would be. Thus, she could maintain the state of cultivating both martial souls in tandem.

Of course, this was only possible with her second martial soul. Her first martial soul definitely could not start directly with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring like this.

Wang Dong'er did not begin the Soul Spirit ritual here. Instead, she brought little Snow Empress back to Snow Empress's palace.

Looking at the Ice God Lake behind Snow Empress's palace, which was gradually drying up, little Snow Empress sighed. "I built my palace here in hopes of witnessing the power of the ancient Ice God, but I never expected to witness the decline of Ice God Lake."

Ice Empress fell silent.

All the soul beasts of the Extreme North worshipped the ancient Ice God.

According to legend, the ancient Ice God was the god of soul beasts and wielded the strongest power of ice. It was the one who created the Extreme North and the many soul beast races that lived there.

When Snow Empress spoke of witnessing the decline of Ice God Lake, she was also lamenting her own fate of being unable to break through her limits.

"At least now, you can still take a shot at it with me," Wang Dong'er said.

"Then let us begin." Electrolux's soul body appeared as he spoke. "This old man's time is running short as well."

Wang Dong'er could not help thinking of the carving knife made from Life Gold in the original story.

She vaguely remembered it appearing at an auction in the Star Luo Empire. It should not be too far away. When the time came, she would buy it and let Teacher use it as a house.

She had quite a lot of Gold Soul Coins now.

As Electrolux chanted an incantation, a hexagram appeared beneath Wang Dong'er and little Snow Empress.

Ice Empress had already retreated into Wang Dong'er's Sea of Consciousness. For this Spirit Transfer Ritual, she also needed to prepare herself to ensure that Snow Empress could be accepted harmoniously.

Little Snow Empress curiously observed the hexagram beneath her feet and Wang Dong'er's martial souls.

With her discernment, she could tell that the Clear Sky Hammer itself did not seem to possess Extreme Ice, but it definitely had not come from Ice Empress either.

That was very strange.

However, Snow Empress did not dwell on it. Strange or not, things were already as they were. Since she had chosen to follow Wang Dong'er, the stronger Wang Dong'er was, the better.

Like Ice Empress, Snow Empress possessed an extreme attribute.

At this moment, she also noticed her own abnormality within the hexagram.

Although she had successfully rebuilt herself into human form, she was still essentially a soul beast until reaching six rings and truly becoming an adult. Any high-level soul master could see through her almost at a glance.

Cases like Poison Douluo Dugu Bo failing to recognize Xiao Wu as a soul beast right in front of him ten thousand years ago were rare.

Even upon reaching six rings, one would not truly become human. Tang Hao and Ah Yin were examples of that.

Thus, Wang Dong'er had always felt that this so-called rebuilding into human form might be something of a joke.

The only kind that high-level soul masters probably could not see through was an Imperial Auspicious Beast like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion taking human form.

But the Imperial Auspicious Beast itself was unlike ordinary soul beasts, making it an exceptional case.

Second by second, Electrolux's chant transformed into countless golden runes that surged toward Wang Dong'er and little Snow Empress within the hexagram, soon submerging them in a sea of golden symbols.

As the saying went, practice made perfect. After Ice Empress's Spirit Transfer Ritual succeeded, Electrolux had refined some crucial details and precautions. This entire Spirit Transfer Ritual was vastly different from the one for Ice Empress.

Little Snow Empress's body slowly began to grow amid the golden light. She gradually changed from a little girl into a young maiden, then grew more mature until she returned to her former appearance.

The Heavenly Snow Woman was born of heaven and earth. Though classified as a soul beast race, her appearance was no different from that of a human.

It had not been obvious when she was little Snow Empress, but now that she had returned to her original appearance, she seemed like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world. Her snow-white hair hung straight down, while her dress was the same translucent, ethereal blue as her eyes.

Then, just as during Ice Empress's fusion, Wang Dong'er and Snow Empress floated above the hexagram and gradually moved closer together.

This time, it was not like Ice Empress using her scorpion tail to sting Wang Dong'er's chest. The two directly embraced and curled up together like twin eggs.

At that moment, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Gold Edition Secret Method Soul Soul Bone Wang Dong'er had received from the system appeared on its own and slowly fused into her spine.

The Secret Method Soul Soul Bone possessed the trait of fusion, allowing it to merge two Soul Bones with extremely similar attributes.

The similarity of attributes here did not merely refer to the attributes of the soul beasts from which the Soul Bones came. It also included other traits.

By coincidence, Ice Empress's and Snow Empress's Soul Bones perfectly met the requirements.

However, if she had tried to fuse the thousand-year Secret Method Soul Soul Bone given by Du Weilun, it would have been absolutely impossible to succeed.

But a Hundred-Thousand-Year Secret Method Soul Soul Bone could be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled.

Leaving aside the fact that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were guaranteed to drop Soul Bones, even without considering that, who could gather a hundred Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts of the same species?

Furthermore, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Secret Method Soul Soul Bone could itself strengthen Wang Dong'er's Soul Power. This way, there was no need to waste Snow Empress's own origin to prioritize raising Wang Dong'er's rank.

Even Electrolux had not anticipated such an accident.

However, he quickly focused on the Spirit Transfer Ritual and began by fusing Snow Empress's Soul Bone with Wang Dong'er.

When soul masters hunted soul beasts and obtained Soul Bones, the bones generally formed according to the priority of the Soul Bones they lacked.

First came torso bones and skulls, followed by arm bones, and finally leg bones.

If Wang Dong'er had not already fused with the Destiny Skull of the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then Snow Empress's Soul Bone would have condensed into a head bone.

Yet under the pull of the fusion trait of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Secret Method Soul Soul Bone, Snow Empress's Soul Bone ultimately condensed into a somewhat unusual torso bone and fused along Wang Dong'er's spine.

Wang Dong'er's torso bone could now be called a fusion Soul Bone of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Heavenly Snow Woman, and it was far more than just that.

A streak of jade green intertwined with pure white, appearing over Wang Dong'er's body before spreading throughout her entire body through her spine.

No one had expected this mutation, not even Wang Dong'er herself.

Yet as the one experiencing it firsthand, Wang Dong'er could feel that it was an exceptionally beneficial mutation.

However, her soul skills seemed to have undergone some mutations as well...

Huo Yuhao's Shock

"Brother Sky Dream, how much farther is it?" Huo Yuhao pulled his clothes tighter around himself.

No matter how thickly he dressed, it was useless in the Extreme North.

Following Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's guidance, they had already wandered around this place in a full circle.

"Strange. I clearly sensed Ice Empress's aura," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said in surprise.

"Forget it. Since that is the case, let us begin according to the original plan for now."

Huo Yuhao did not know what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's original plan was, but he could only follow Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's instructions.

The dried provisions he carried were nearly gone, and especially after entering the core region, they froze rock-hard almost as soon as he took them out, making them difficult to swallow.

Yet whether due to luck or some other reason, they had encountered very few powerful soul beasts along the way. Even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm found it strange.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's incomparably serious voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind. "Yuhao, in this environment, without the protection of my remains, how long can you hold out?"

Since entering the Extreme North, Huo Yuhao had relied on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's remains to resist the freezing cold. Otherwise, he could never have ventured as deeply into the Extreme North as Wang Dong'er had on his own.

After hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment. "If I fully circulate my Soul Power to resist it, I should be able to last five minutes. At most, no more than ten."

"After I lure that one here, my remains will be the key to making her become your martial soul. During that period, you will definitely be left unprotected. I will try to speed things up, but you will still need to endure on your own. Remember, no matter what happens, do not act rashly."

After giving him a few more instructions, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally began taking control of Huo Yuhao's body.

The sensation of losing control over his body returned, and a trace of panic instinctively flashed through Huo Yuhao's heart.

Then, the only white soul ring on Huo Yuhao's body emerged.

Whenever Huo Yuhao used his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, a faint golden glint would usually flash through his eyes. But now, his white soul ring directly turned brilliant gold, and his entire body became golden as well.

Nine clusters of golden light emerged one after another from Huo Yuhao's forehead. They were Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sealed Spiritual Origin. There had originally been ten clusters, but aside from the one that had already fused with Huo Yuhao, all the others appeared.

Next, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm used his immense Spiritual Power to spread his will outward.

"Ice Empress, I, Tian Meng, have returned. Do you dare come out and meet me?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm waited quietly, while Huo Yuhao waited inside the ice cave he had dug. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could detect as far as Huo Yuhao could see.

Ice Empress—was that the title of the second ruler of the Extreme North? Huo Yuhao thought.

Time passed second by second. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was not anxious in the slightest, but Huo Yuhao was already feeling stifled.

He had no idea when Ice Empress would appear. He felt both anxious and afraid.

What if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm failed?

As the saying went, the unknown was the most terrifying. To Huo Yuhao, Ice Empress was that unknown.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed very familiar with Ice Empress, but Huo Yuhao knew nothing about her. All he knew from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was that Ice Empress was one of the Three Great Rulers of the Extreme North, a terrifying soul beast with more than two hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Gradually, even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began to feel suspicious.

According to his expectations, once Ice Empress sensed his aura and his challenge, she should have immediately come to find him.
