Don't You Think This Is a High-Level Form of Intangibility?!

There was a hint of embarrassment on Duoduo's face, but Huo Yuhao didn't seem to have much of a reaction.

When she came to apologize, he merely nodded and said a few polite words before turning back to Mo Yu.

After all, this was still his territory.

If he hadn't chosen to stay in the Sun Moon Empire's royal palace, but had instead insisted on becoming an ordinary soul master, he might not have been any better off than Mu Ling, who had been taken away.

Xiao Ge stood beside the divine tree, a faint smile on his face. He had to admit that he had a good impression of Huo Yuhao, even though he was still young. At the very least, when Huo Yuhao had used his spiritual detection to help them, he'd enjoyed playing the role of a hero.

He didn't seem to have any ulterior motives, either.

He'd just reached the Sea God Pavilion's meeting hall when—

"He betrayed us! He betrayed us!"

Duoduo had no idea why a tiny soul master like her, who had only been cultivating for a little over ten years, had suddenly acted on impulse. Her hand had unconsciously grabbed Xiao Ge's sleeve.

As soon as she felt his sleeve beneath her fingertips, Duoduo seemed to realize what she'd done. Her face flushed a faint pink.

Her heart was pounding. Duoduo was starting to feel embarrassed.

She'd already reached out and touched him. How could she have been so bold?

If she reached out and touched him again, wouldn't that be going too far?

Besides, she didn't seem brave enough to do it again.

Xiao Ge noticed the little exchange, but only glanced back at Duoduo before shifting his attention to Mu Ling. At the same time, a page of the diary in his mind began to fill itself in.

[The name of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the God of Destruction's lover, has been revealed. Next up is that enormous Ice Roc, right? That fellow might be hiding somewhere in the Dark Abyss.]

[The only troublesome thing is that the Ice Roc's appearance as Mu Ling's hundred-thousand-year-old soul ring seems to have directly interrupted the inevitable pause in this diary.]

[I wonder if I'll be able to withstand it when the time comes.]

The young man who seemed to be around the same age as Huo Yuhao was Mo Yu, wasn't he?

He was the Mo Yu mentioned in Xiao Ge's diary. His most recent fate... was to fall into the lake of life and die? And it looked like Xiao Ge's target—the fragment of the God of Destruction's divine core—was about to arrive.

Duoduo and Huo Yuhao both felt a strange sensation in their minds. Before either of them could react, the earth trembled without warning.

A crack suddenly appeared in the ground beneath Mo Yu's feet. In the blink of an eye, it widened, forming a clear fissure. Deep inside, a faint golden glow shimmered.

Mo Yu, who was absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring, frowned. A hint of fear lurked in his eyes.

Just then, a deep, booming voice entered his mind.

"So you've encountered a spiritual-type soul beast. It's a shame your body can't sustain it, or your face would be covered in blood!"

The next instant, a huge figure emerged from the fissure.

The Ice Roc, a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, appeared before them!

As soon as it appeared, a stream of water surged up from the fissure, instantly freezing into ice. A bone-chilling cold swept over Mo Yu and everyone standing nearby.

That was the Ice Roc!

Di Tian, concealed in the darkness, drew a sharp breath.

Although the figure had appeared only for an instant, he would never mistake it. That was the Ice Roc—the great beast that had escaped the Lake of Life not long ago!

It seemed the master had expected the Ice Roc to appear at that moment, and had deliberately sent him to protect that human?

A tumult stirred in Di Tian's heart. He wanted to bind that human to the Ice Roc and bring them back together.

But he quickly remembered his master's warnings.

His master had repeatedly cautioned him not to act rashly, no matter what he saw. All he needed to do was watch everything unfold and report back afterward.

Out of respect and obedience to his master, Di Tian suppressed the impulse to act, swallowing his regret.

By then, the Ice Roc had merged completely with Mo Yu. The golden patterns on its back turned into golden light, enveloping Mo Yu's body. A powerful spiritual force swept out from him in every direction.

The Ice Roc truly was a creature with no real attack abilities. Its hundred-thousand-year soul ring might only have served as a support for a powerful soul master, but its terrifying spiritual force was extraordinary. In an instant, it enveloped a vast area beyond the Star Dou Forest.

Every wise soul beast within the area fell into a daze. The whole space seemed to freeze in time.

Apart from Di Tian and Huo Yuhao, who were observing from the darkness, no one noticed. Not even the beast guarding Duoduo—the beast tasked with keeping her safe—was an exception.

In front of Xiao Ge, two soul rings slowly emerged, one milky white and the other pitch-black.

The two soul rings emitted completely opposite light, merging together and enveloping Xiao Ge's body. It was as if they had formed a separate domain that isolated him from everything around him.

Within the domain, Xiao Ge's figure seemed to grow intangible, appearing and disappearing as though he were a phantom.

The Chaotic Domain, formed from the combined abilities of the Spirit Demon Ape and the Martial Soul!

Xiao Ge was unaffected.

Wasn't this exactly what you'd call a high-level form of intangibility?!

Seeing that his soul rings had been affected, Xiao Ge's heart jumped. He wasn't sure whether his Chaotic Domain could withstand the terrifying spiritual force of the Ice Roc.

Fortunately, the Chaotic Domain was capable of doing so.

Of course, even if the Chaotic Domain failed, he himself still wouldn't be affected.

That was the bottom line the diary had given him.

Of course, that bottom line only applied to spiritual force.

Seeing that Xiao Ge had been unaffected, Di Tian's golden eyes narrowed. His gaze shifted toward Huo Yuhao.

That person was...

Very unusual.

Especially the domain formed by those two extraordinary martial souls, which included an unprecedented soul-ring ratio...

Compared with the black soul ring, Di Tian cared more about Huo Yuhao's Chaotic Domain.

As Huo Yuhao's figure flickered in and out of the Chaotic Domain, Di Tian's heart skipped a beat.

If he hadn't still been able to see Huo Yuhao's indistinct figure, he wouldn't have been able to sense his presence at all.

So the person his master had wanted him to keep an eye on from the beginning really was him, not the Ice Roc!

The Ice Roc was just a distraction.

The person his master had told him to watch over was, after all, Huo Yuhao—not the Ice Roc!
