Time Capsule, Elders Break Through

A biting wind howled across the icy plains, enough to freeze most warm-blooded animals to death. A snow-white giant, a hundred meters tall, and a polar bear about ten meters long were launching an attack from one behind the other.

Their target was a figure that resembled a beautiful, icy crystal.

Facing the simultaneous onslaught from Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai, Oscar did his best to maintain the effect of his Eighth Spirit Ability.

Oscar raised his hand and slapped Xiao Bai away. His Ice Bear Storm Palm Fifth Spirit Ring no chance of winning against the real Emperor Palm.

Although he no longer had Snow Empress's "enchantment," Oscar, with his level 93 Soul Power and a physical strength comparable to a level 97 Super Douluo, was more than capable of dealing with Xiao Bai.

After swatting Xiao Bai away, the Emperor Palm, still powerful, slammed into the ice ball that Titan Snow Demon King had launched, which resembled a meteorite.

The ice hockey's attack was instantly blocked, but before Oscar could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Titan Snow Demon King's massive figure approached from afar and slammed a punch directly onto the ice hockey.

With the double attack combined, Emperor Palm could not withstand the immense force and slammed back towards Oscar.

Oscar moved slightly, his entire body moving swiftly across the snowfield like a piece of moving ice. At the same time, the blood-red Second Spirit Ring on his body lit up, and a crimson color burst forth instantly.

At the same time, his left arm released a terrifying fluctuation of Soul Power, and two incredibly terrifying domains unfolded in an instant.

"Second Spirit Ability: Eternal Frost Domain!"

"Heavenly Snow Woman's Left Arm Soul Bone Skill: Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain!"

These two domains originated from the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress respectively. Both were domain amplification skills that maximized the Extreme Ice. The moment the two domains were activated simultaneously, the huge ice ball, which resembled a meteorite, was instantly Ice Seal by the terrifying power within the domains.

Even the Titan Snow Demon King was unable to forcefully push the ice puck with his terrifying power, while Oscar's skill activation was not yet complete.

Oscar's blood-red Fourth Spirit Ring lit up once more, and the second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill of this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring was released instantly.

Oscar possesses nine Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings, among which the first and fourth Soul Ring were bestowed by the Ice Empress and Snow Empress themselves, so each of them has two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills.

The remaining Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring were bestowed by the Soul Spirit of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, and each of them possesses only one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill.

"Fourth Spirit Ability: Extreme Ice Amplification!"

This Soul Skill represents a deeper and more terrifying enhancement to the Extreme Ice. Under the influence of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, the already terrifying two domains instantly multiply in power.

The Xiao Bai that flew backward and the attacking Titan Snow Demon King seemed to see their own great-grandmother, because they realized that they could not move at all at this moment.

Within the two domains, after Oscar used his Fourth Spirit Ability, these three terrifying skills seemed to merge together with some special power, becoming a sublimated power.

Oscar parted his lips slightly. "Three Urgent Combination — Time Capsule!"

The two domains merged completely under the Extreme Ice Amplification, instantly forming a terrifying area with a diameter of ten kilometers. Within this area, everything seemed to be frozen in place by the ultimate sublimation of ice.

Unable to breathe, unable to move, and even unable to think.

Everything seemed to freeze, and the only one who could move freely was the sole master who activated this power— Oscar.

This was the first time Oscar had used this powerful ability that combined three skills. The power of the Time Capsule far exceeded that of an ordinary 100,000-year time capsule, rendering the Titan Snow Demon King, who had cultivated for over 200,000 years, and Xiao Bai, who had cultivated for 100,000 years, completely immobile.

This single effect is enough to establish the terrifying power of the Oscar.

Judging from his appearance, his Time Capsule is similar to Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo's Martial Soul Fusion Skill - the Two Poles Stillness Domain.

However, Oscar's three combined skills are actually more powerful. In addition to the extreme Ice Attribute causing endless damage to the opponent, the most important thing is that within the range of the Time Capsule, Oscar is the only one who can move. He can even continue to launch more ferocious attacks! On the other hand, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo's Two Poles Stillness Domain only has the effect of immobilization. Furthermore, when Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo themselves cannot move or even use other skills.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Oscar's Time Capsule is far more powerful.

The only drawback is that using three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills and Spirit Bone Skill at the same time will consume a lot of energy from Oscar.

However, compared to Titled Douluo of the same level, Oscar's total Spirit Abilities consumption is less than one-third of that of other Titled Douluo.

This is the benefit of absorbing Soul Ring beyond the normal lifespan; all skills consume significantly less Soul Power.

So overall, Oscar's use of the Time Capsule is roughly equivalent to the consumption of a Titled Douluo's Ninth Spirit Ability, which is about one-third of his total Soul Power.

However, the Time Capsule's duration is terrifying, lasting a full five minutes. Within those five minutes, Oscar doesn't need to expend any more Soul Power, and the Time Capsule will continue to function.

What's most terrifying is that Oscar can continuously consume Soul Power to maintain the formation of the Time Capsule.

The only way to break free of the Time Capsule is to surpass Oscar in absolute strength; otherwise, one can only become Oscar's plaything.

Given Oscar's current strength, his opponent would need to have at least level 98 Soul Power to break through the limitations of the Time Capsule.

Or, like Tang Hao, possess a near- Divine Skill — the Explode Ring! At level 97, one can hold their own against a level 98 opponent, and even scare them away. Exploding Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring can even allow one to fight a god in one blow.

There is no other way to break through the Time Capsule.

Having frozen Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai, Oscar's consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness. At this moment, Tian Meng looked at Oscar with disbelief, Snow Empress turned her head away, not daring to meet Oscar's gaze, while Ice Empress came directly to Oscar with a fierce look.

Ice Empress questioned, "Oscar! Have you long harbored wicked intentions towards Yuki-onna? Now that we've become your Soul Spirit, can't you control your filthy thoughts?"

Oscar was speechless. He blocked Ice Empress's exquisite scorpion tail and explained, "You've really misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way. I only said that to tease Xiao Bai. That kid attacked me from behind, and he wouldn't let me take advantage of him!"

"I didn't think before I spoke, and I forgot that the Snow Woman is Xiao Bai's mother. I apologize for my rash behavior."

Ice Empress glanced at Oscar, and seeing his sincere expression, he was unsure whether to believe him or not.

Ice Empress turned to look at Snow Empress: "Yuki-onna, do you believe what he said?"

Snow Empress couldn't help but glance at Oscar. And to be honest, according to human aesthetics, Oscar was definitely a top-notch handsome man.

The Snow Empress is a creature born of nature, unlike both Soul Beast and humans, and thus possesses a dual aesthetic sense.

Whether Soul Beast finds it beautiful or a human finds it beautiful, she can find it beautiful.

After hearing what Oscar just said, Snow Empress suddenly felt that Oscar wasn't so bad after all...

Talented, strong, handsome, and dashing...

Snow Empress shook her head vigorously in an instant. What was she thinking?

"I... I don't know..." Snow Empress replied weakly.

Oscar was about to explain when Tian Meng spoke up, "If you ask me, it doesn't matter whether Oscar did it intentionally or not. We are now one, and these trivial matters are minor issues."

Hearing Tian Meng's words, Snow Empress and Ice Empress also pondered for a moment. Then Snow Empress said seriously, "I think Tian Meng is right. No matter what, we are all one now, so there's nothing wrong with liking yourself..."

Listening to Snow Empress's words, Oscar felt that Tian Meng's explanation was a bit redundant. Wasn't this still a case of not believing him? Just then, Tian Meng interjected again. "It's just that you can't like Bing Bing. I'll only ever recognize Bing Bing in my life!"

Upon hearing this, Oscar, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress all had black lines on their faces. Ice Empress couldn't help but beat up Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Oscar and Snow Empress shook their heads as they watched this scene. They exchanged a glance, then turned away inexplicably, feeling somewhat awkward.

Then Oscar realized, "I didn't have any ulterior motives, why am I embarrassed?" Fortunately, with Tian Meng, the lively character, the atmosphere improved, but Snow Empress's feelings for Oscar seemed to have changed slightly.

Oscar said to Snow Empress, "Snow Maiden, don't overthink it. I'll go deal with Xiao Bai and Titan Snow Demon King first."

Snow Empress was taken aback for a moment, then said, "It would be too much of a loss for you to go alone if I go with you."

Oscar smiled slightly, his consciousness returned, and the Snow Empress's Soul Spirit reappeared.

Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai were unable to move. When they saw the Snow Empress reappear, they felt as if the sky had collapsed.

The crimson Fourth Spirit Ring shone brightly once more, and a colossal Giant Sword Across the Sky.

"Fourth Spirit Ability: Emperor Sword - Ice Extreme Unrivaled!"

Within the Time Capsule's range, all of Oscar's skills are enhanced by two major domains and the Extreme Ice Amplification, at least doubling their power. With the Snow Empress enchantment, they are powerful enough to slay the Titan Snow Demon King and the Xiao Bai.

Of course, Oscar couldn't possibly kill those two scoundrels with a single sword strike, and even if he wanted to, the Snow Empress wouldn't agree.

The massive Emperor Sword swung horizontally, striking the Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai fiercely with its shield.

This scene was enough to shock the entire Extreme North, and it also proved how terrifying Oscar's power is now.

Besides Oscar's own improvement, several elders of the sect also made significant breakthroughs.

The clone Ao Rong brought back the supreme treasure, the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow. Although the quantity was not large, it was more than enough to supply a group of people.

Gai Yue directly broke through to level 96 with the help of the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow. He already had an Ice Attribute Soul Core that accelerated his cultivation and improvement, and his own attributes were also very compatible with the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow.

With these factors complementing each other, he achieved a breakthrough naturally.

Although Dugu Bo did not break through to level 96, he was only one step away. With the help of a Poison Soul Core, he would be able to break through to level 96 naturally in no time.

Because of this Soul Core, and the several Spirit Bones that Oscar later gave him, Dugu Bo only needs to continue his arduous cultivation, and he may even reach level 98 in the future.

However, there may be no further opportunities, because Dugu Bo's innate foundation is indeed somewhat lacking.

Without this Soul Core, even with so many resources invested, Dugu Bo would only reach level 97 at most.

Dugu Bo was already quite satisfied with the prospect of reaching level 98.

After all, for someone his age, with his talent and foundation, to have achieved such success and have such a future is itself a rare opportunity.

Furthermore, although Dugu Bo himself may only reach a maximum of level 98, his granddaughter's achievements are far beyond that. Dugu Yan has already reached level 78 at a young age, and her future potential is virtually limitless.

The old man was content to see his granddaughter grow up.

For Dugu Bo, his encounter with Oscar in Sunset Forest was the luckiest moment of his life.

Choosing to invest in the Oscar was the best decision he ever made.

Dugu Bo's thoughts were the same for Gai Yue, or rather, for Flender, who had already received much good fortune, and for Zhao Wuji and the others.

Besides the two elders' improvement, what everyone cared about and was most delighted about was the improvement of the sect's elders.

The improvement of the two elders raised the top combat power of the Sword Sect, while the improvement of the elders is the real backbone.

Apart from Niu Gao, who was already a level 93 Titled Douluo, the five elders Bai He, Yang Wudi, Meng Shu, Qin Wenlong, Dragon Master Tiger all took the final step under the influence of the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow.

All five elders have broken through level 90, and only need one Soul Ring to become a true Titled Douluo.

After that, the Sword Sect truly had several Titled Douluo, instead of just relying on Oscar's Clone Sausage to make a name for themselves.

Although not many of these elders who broke through were exceptionally talented, with abundant resources and the blessing of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit personally selected by Oscar for them, their future achievements will at least reach level 95 or above.

And these will be the first group of loyal followers to Oscar in the future. If the elders also consume the Clone Sausage, then the Sword Sect will truly be at its zenith.

Besides the elders, Ye Haitang has also made considerable progress in recent years and is expected to become the second Titled Douluo with the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul after her ancestor.

Ye Haitang also had high hopes for this. The title of Life Douluo was about to disappear into the dust of history, and she looked forward to the day when she could regain the glory of her ancestors.

Besides Ye Haitang, Ye Lingling is the second one, and she is no longer cursed. Her descendants will no longer be bound by the fact that there are only two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master.

However, the progress of her relationship with Oscar made Ye Haitang very worried.

It seemed that the child only had eyes for Dugu Yan, and could not tolerate anyone else...

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Sword Sect.

Dugu Yan had just finished a day of cultivation and had just stepped out when she encountered Ye Lingling coming towards her.

Having stayed in Sunset Forest for several months, the two girls naturally became acquainted and, surprisingly, became good friends.

Dugu Yan knew that Ye Lingling had also taken a liking to her husband. Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had also spoken with her privately. If Oscar and Ye Lingling were to get married, Nine-Heart Begonia would be truly bound to the Sword Sect.

Although Dugu Yan felt quite helpless about this, she had adjusted her mindset well and had come to terms with it.

Dugu Yan has come to terms with it, and Ye Lingling doesn't have to go through the melodramatic drama of fighting with her Eldest Sister for a man, but the man is gone...

Oscar's clone remained in the sect, but after Ye Lingling learned that it was a clone, she stopped thinking about it beyond the emotional connection.

Because she wanted to give her first time to the real Oscar, not a clone formed from Soul Power and Spiritual Power.

In the future, when Oscar is not around, it's fine to use a clone to satisfy your cravings, but for such important moments, the real body will naturally have to come.

"Lingling, have you completely refined that Extreme Cold Ice Marrow? How is your improvement?" Dugu Yan saw Ye Lingling and stepped forward to put his arm around her.

Ye Lingling smiled slightly, revealing a sweet smile, "Sister, I just finished refining it, and my Soul Power Level is already level fifty-five."

Dugu Yan nodded. "This improvement is already quite good, not to mention that the main function of the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow is to Marrow Cleansing, and enhance talent and aptitude."

Ye Lingling replied, "I can't compare to you, sister. We're about the same age. You're almost level 80 now, and I guess it won't be long before you break through, right?"

Dugu Yan nodded. "Once I break through to level 80, I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest with the elders."

Indeed, after the elders broke through, they did not immediately go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Ring. Because of Niu Gao's experience, Gai Yue planned to first teach them the method of Soul Core condensation.

This approach has one advantage: once they are familiar with it, when they absorb the Ninth Spirit Ring, they can take advantage of the power of the Spirit Beast Sacrifice to try to condense Soul Core. Although it cannot guarantee success on the first try, it will definitely save a lot of time and energy.

Besides consolidating his cultivation and familiarizing himself with his strength, Niu Gao is now following Gai Yue and Dugu Bo to try to condense his Soul Core.

If they succeed, their future achievements will be elevated to a whole new level.

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
