The five-day, five-night journey to the Extreme North had finally come to an end. With the Ice Empress and Snow Empress joining him, Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit had become livelier than ever.
Huo Yuhao's Second Soul Ring came from a six-thousand-year-old Ice Silkworm. The Soul Skill it granted was Simulation, which twisted space to use him as a template and imitate various forms. All the Soul Rings on Huo Yuhao's Second Spirit had been simulated to look like thousand-year Soul Rings.
His Third Soul Ring came from a Time Nether Toad that had just reached ten thousand years. The Time Nether Toad was an extremely rare Soul Beast in the Extreme North, with both Ice and time attributes.
Every leap it made could trigger Time Rewind. Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue had gone to great lengths to deal with the Soul Beast, but they had finally hunted it down!
Only to discover that it had just reached ten thousand years!
According to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's body had already been transformed by the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. On top of that, he had absorbed the Ice Empress and Snow Empress Soul Bones and taken four Immortal Herbs, so he had been able to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for a long time.
The reason he hadn't absorbed a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for his Second Soul Ring was that ten-thousand-year Ice Silkworms were too hard to find. Ice Silkworms were low on the food chain in the Extreme North and were prey to Soul Beasts such as Ice Jade Scorpions and Time Nether Toads. Not every Ice Silkworm was a Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had used his Mental Power to seal part of the power of the third ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, reducing it to the might of a six-thousand-year one. Only after Huo Yuhao's body and Soul Power improved would the sealed power be fully unleashed.
Time Eye's Third Soul Skill: Time Rewind.
Huo Yuhao's Third Soul Skill was an area-effect Soul Skill that worked on Soul Masters. For example, if an enemy charged at you, Huo Yuhao could use his Third Soul Skill, Time Rewind, and the enemy would move backward to where he started, completing the initial stage of the attack in reverse. Everything would return to how it was at the beginning; everything would go back to square one.
"Training with Extreme Ice gets slower and slower after Level Thirty. I only reached Level Thirty-Three after adding two Soul Rings." Huo Yuhao smiled candidly. He was already quite satisfied.
Who could have imagined that just one week ago, Huo Yuhao had been a Soul Grandmaster with one Soul Ring at Level Eleven? Now he was a Level Thirty-Three Soul Elder with a Soul Ring that exceeded a hundred thousand years, as well as two Soul Bones with a lifespan of over a million years.
Everyone in the Sea of Spirit except Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had fallen asleep.
"Little brother! Aren't we missing someone?" Qian Renxue suddenly said.
Huo Yuhao froze for a moment. That was right! Snake Lance Douluo was still frozen in the ice!
Qian Renxue immediately took out Snake Lance Douluo, who had been frozen into an Ice Sculpture. Through the solid ice, they could hear his strong, steady heartbeat.
Two Purple Soul Rings rose beneath Huo Yuhao's feet. He raised his right hand and placed it against the ice, absorbing the steady stream of Cold Air through his palm.
After being trapped for five days and five nights, Snake Lance Douluo was finally free.
"Young Master! You're going ten thousand years into the future!" Snake Lance Douluo's eyes widened when he heard the news.
"Martial Soul Hall Was Destroyed. As its Young Master, I have a duty to go. Ten thousand years from now, Soul Tool Technology will be advanced. There's even something called a Level 9 Soul Guided Cannonball. One of those is enough to destroy a city."
"One... can destroy a city!" Snake Lance Douluo was so shocked that he could barely believe it.
"Then why don't we go kill Tang San? That would solve every problem," Snake Lance Douluo proposed.
"We can't kill him." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Not to mention that Tang Hao is always guarding him. If the Tang San of your era is ever in danger, the next moment you'll be facing God King Tang San. By then, we probably won't have a chance at all."
On the outer edge of the planet Douluo Continent, ten thousand years in the future, an invisible force protected the planet and prevented God King Tang San from interfering.
The Divine Realm was already overwhelmed with work and had no way to deal with the barrier surrounding the planet Douluo Continent.
Peerless Tang Sect Era, Extreme North.
On the endless ice plain, a group of white-clad Soul Engineers from the Sun Moon Empire struggled through the heavy snowfall.
"Master Fang, the Platform of Gods you made is incredible! It actually captured a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!" one Soul Engineer exclaimed excitedly.
"It was partly luck. Fate led us to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that was transforming into a human, and it's still in the embryonic stage. This will be a great help to our research!" Master Fang, whose surname was Fang, laughed heartily.
"Master, could you let us see the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo one more time? Once we're back in the empire, we won't get another chance."
At his words, nearly everyone chimed in.
Who wouldn't covet a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone? The only catch was being strong enough to claim them.
Master Fang proudly surveyed the crowd. "All right, but you can only look once."
Inside the Platform of Gods, a mass of white vapor darted around, trying to break free.
"Don't even think about escaping. This Platform of Gods is a Level 9 Soul Tool, and it's my proudest creation. Don't worry. I'll make the most of your value and won't let your status as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast go to waste!"
Master Fang couldn't hide the smile on his face. But then his pupils contracted, and his smile instantly froze.
As everyone watched in horror, the little baby formed from the white vapor smiled innocently and waved at them. Then it vanished without a trace right before their eyes.
"No—!"
Master Fang's desperate cry echoed across the ice plain, carrying for a hundred miles.
Peerless Tang Sect Era, Star Dou Great Forest.
The sky suddenly darkened, and a cave shaped like a Black Vortex appeared out of nowhere. Three indistinct figures stood inside, but soon—
Huo Yuhao, Qian Renxue, and Snake Lance Douluo emerged from the cave one after another, falling from the sky.
"Welcome to the Star Dou Great Forest." Huo Yuhao looked at the familiar surroundings. Towering trees stretched all around them, and the dense grass reached past their knees. A few clear drops of blood rolled from the tips of the grass along the stems and leaves. At Huo Yuhao's feet lay the corpse of a Wind Baboon. This was the very place where he had crossed over.
"Little Yuhao, your big brother's too tired. I'm going to sleep." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fell asleep, and the Sea of Spirit fell quiet all at once.
"Thank you, Brother Sky Dream," Huo Yuhao said.
"This is the Star Dou Great Forest ten thousand years later?" Qian Renxue looked around and breathed in the fresh forest air, feeling refreshed.
"Young Master, I'll protect you," Snake Lance Douluo said dutifully. Since he couldn't stop Qian Renxue from going, he would do everything he could to keep her safe.
"Let's figure out where to go next." Huo Yuhao took a map of the Douluo Continent from his pack. Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo leaned in, and the three of them sat together.
The map marked the Four Great Empires: Star Luo, Dou Ling, Heaven Soul, and Sun Moon. Shrek Academy stood out prominently at their center, and Qian Renxue's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"Why is this place called Shrek Academy independent of the four nations?" Qian Renxue asked, pointing to its symbol on the map.
