The Temptation of Immortality, Na'er Returns
After demonstrating, Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew his Divine Power.
Immediately afterwards, a Big Eye appeared beside Huo Yuhao; it was none other than the Spirit Soul Evil Eye, Xiao Yin.
Subsequently, the figures of the Spirit Soul Wangsheng Butterfly and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also appeared one after another.
Several Spirit Soul surrounded Huo Yuhao, their gazes all fixed on the crystal-like little spider.
The Phantom Heart Demon Spider raised its head, its crystalline eyes sweeping over each of the Spirit Soul.
Its expression remained calm, without any particular change.
It's not too surprising that a Divine Power Spirit Domain Realm possesses several Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Soul.
However, its gaze paused slightly when it swept over the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
That large, silvery-white insect gave it a slightly different feeling.
But before it could think further, a purple figure appeared.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty slowly took shape, its body radiating a faint purple halo, its delicate petal-shaped skirt cascading down in layers, exuding an elegant and composed air.
Then the true form of the Aromatic Silk Beauty vanished, replaced by the figure of a man in purple robes.
This time, the Phantom Heart Demon Spider was no longer at peace.
Its originally loose eight legs tucked in slightly, and the nonchalant look in its eyes finally softened.
It immediately recognized the true nature of the Aromatic Silk Beauty; it was Spirit Soul that had existed for two hundred thousand years.
Even with the Divine Power of the Spirit Domain Realm, obtaining Spirit Soul at the level of Ferocious Beast requires far more than just talent; luck and opportunity also play a crucial role.
Clearly, this young man named Huo Yuhao has all of these things.
But before it could process this unexpected turn of events, two more figures appeared, arm in arm.
A woman wearing a white dress, tall and slender, with a noble and aloof temperament, and long, snow-white hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall.
The other person was dressed in green, relatively petite, with a cool and aloof demeanor mixed with a touch of liveliness, and two green pigtails swaying slightly at her sides.
As soon as these two figures appeared, the temperature inside the Spirit Soul Fusion chamber plummeted, as if it had instantly transformed from the height of summer into the depths of winter!
The two figures that appeared at this moment were naturally the Spirit Soul of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress!
The moment the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress unleashed their full power, the Phantom Heart Demon Spider could no longer maintain its previous nonchalant calm.
With a sudden push from its eight crystal-like spider legs, its entire body sprang up like a streak of light, landing lightly on the edge of the hemispherical metal shell.
Those crystal-clear eyes were fixed on the direction of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, their gaze shifting back and forth between the two figures, as if trying to confirm every trace of their presence.
With its Divine Power, how could it not determine that the ages of these two Spirit Soul were both greater than its own?
After a long while, the Phantom Heart Demon Spider finally spoke, its childlike voice filled with unprecedented seriousness and confusion. "You are so powerful, how did you also become human Spirit Soul?"
In its view, with the cultivation levels of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, they were fully qualified to maintain their independence in the world of Soul Beast.
It couldn't understand why such powerful beings would become Spirit Soul, nor could it comprehend why they would choose to merge with humans.
Ice Empress released her arm from Snow Empress and, in a flash, floated lightly to the Phantom Heart Demon Spider.
She leaned down slightly, tilted her head, and examined it for a moment. Then, she stretched out her finger and curiously tapped the crystal-clear head of the Phantom Heart Demon Spider.
Perhaps it's because Ice Empress is also Spirit Soul, or perhaps this Phantom Heart Demon Spider really is "not aggressive" as Leng Yaozhu said.
It merely shrank its head slightly without flinching, allowing Ice Empress's fingers to land on its head, which indirectly confirmed that it was indeed a good-natured creature.
Feeling the warm touch on her fingertips, Ice Empress withdrew her fingers, straightened up, and said, "Even the most powerful Soul Beast will eventually reach the end of their Life God. After all, Soul Beast cannot become gods."
These words silenced the Phantom Heart Demon Spider; it certainly understood this principle.
It was because it sensed that it could not safely survive the next Heavenly Tribulation that it took the initiative to contact the Spirit Pagoda and chose to continue its existence in the form of Spirit Soul. It was the most conscious and helpless decision it made in its long Life God.
After becoming Spirit Soul, it refused to merge with any Soul Master.
Faced with this rare 300,000-year -Spirit Soul, the Spirit Pagoda couldn't bear to forcibly damage or waste it, so it could only offer it "good food and drink" for over a thousand years.
That's why it's called Spirit Type Soul Beast; it's got a lot of tricks up its sleeve.
There are probably very few Soul Beast on the entire continent that can make the Spirit Pagoda suffer in silence.
Seeing the docile appearance of the Phantom Heart Demon Spider, Ice Empress put her hands on her hips, raised her chin slightly, and said, "We become Yuhao's Spirit Soul, naturally for eternal life!"
"Eternal life?!"
When the Phantom Heart Demon Spider uttered those two words, its childlike voice rose noticeably, carrying an unprecedented resonance.
Its eight crystal-like spider legs unconsciously tightened a little; those two words were too far-fetched aspirations for it.
Ice Empress raised his head, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty. "That's right, it's immortality!"
"Yuhao is the Child of Luck of the Douluo Continent, destined to become a god."
"Having become his Spirit Soul, we will naturally gain eternal life when he becomes a god."
Even with the Phantom Heart Demon Spider's intelligence, it was still stunned by Ice Empress's words.
It wasn't that it was completely unguarded or too trusting of other Soul Beast.
It looked at Ice Empress's resolute face, and couldn't help but glance at Snow Empress, who stood quietly not far away.
It simply couldn't fathom how a powerful being like the Snow Empress, with seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, could willingly become a human Spirit Soul if not for the sake of immortality.
Both of its more powerful predecessors have already made their choices, so what is there for it to hesitate about?
In that instant, the principles that had been upheld for thousands of years began to loosen and then completely collapsed.
The Phantom Heart Demon Spider slowly turned its gaze to Huo Yuhao, its childlike voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity. "I am willing to become your Spirit Soul!"
Just as Huo Yuhao began to Fusion Soul Spirit, a battle had just ended in the mountains thousands of miles away.
The mountain wind surged out from the depths of the canyon, Na'er's long hair flew wildly in the wind. Her hair was silvery white, like moonlight pouring down, and every strand was pulled behind her by the wind, making a rustling sound.
With a flick of her right hand, the tip of the Silver Dragon Spear drew a clean arc in mid-air, shaking off the remaining bloodstains on the blade and scattering a string of fine dark red spots on the ground.
Beside her, the soul-guided railroad that had once stretched straight into the distance was blasted into several sections, the rails twisted and deformed, and the sleepers shattered and scattered.
Several Soul Train were piled up crookedly, their exteriors covered with gaps torn by brute force and scorch marks from Soul Power bombardment.
Wisps of black smoke still rose from the wreckage, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt metal and blood.
"My Lord!"
A loud shout came from afar, followed by a tall figure descending from the sky and landing a few steps away from Na'er.
The man had a rugged and resolute face, and his whole body exuded an undisguised ferocity, like a beast that had just stepped off a battlefield.
He glanced at the scattered corpses around him, then looked at Na'er and shouted loudly, "All these Evil Soul Master have been dealt with!"
"Um."
Na'er nodded, put away the Silver Dragon Spear, feeling somewhat depressed.
She had finally managed to get leave from the Blood God Legion and travel to Heaven Dou City by Soul Train, but unexpectedly, she was attacked by Evil Soul Master on the way.
Fortunately, these Evil Soul Master weren't particularly strong; the one with the highest cultivation was only an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.
With their combined strength, she and Sima Jinchi handled the situation without much difficulty, and the battle was over in no time.
Sima Jinchi was the burly man standing in front of Na'er at this moment. He was originally a member of the Southern Legion, with fierce fighting power and a straightforward personality.
Later, he met Na'er by chance on the Star Dou Battle Network, and following a preordained connection, he took the initiative to contact her.
With Na'er's help, Sima Jinchi successfully broke through the bottleneck of becoming Titled Douluo, and at the same time finally learned his true identity.
He is a human transformed from the Dragon Clan's divine weapon, the Dragon Slayer Saber, with the inherited memories of the ancient Dragon Clan flowing deep within his bloodline.
From then on, he acknowledged Na'er as his master and stayed by her side at all times.
Sima Jinchi looked towards the gap in the mountain range ahead; the sun had already set below the mountains.
He then suggested, "My Lord, Tian Nan City isn't far ahead. Shall we go there and take the Soul Train?"
Upon hearing this, Na'er almost instinctively shook her head. "No, let's rent a car."
Sima Jinchi was taken aback, a hint of confusion appearing on his rugged face.
But in the end, he didn't ask any more questions, and simply replied sullenly, "Alright, as the Lord."
Na'er couldn't help but recall Xie Xie's words from before, "You people always seem to have problems whenever you ride a Soul Train, it's so weird."
At the time, she scoffed dismissively, thinking that Xie Xie was really bad at saying nice things.
But now... she looked down at the bloodstains on the ground, then looked up at the train carriages that had been blown beyond recognition, and her initial indifference had begun to waver slightly.
Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, but what about the third time?
She seemed to have no choice but to believe it; she and the Soul Train seemed to be inherently incompatible, and accidents were likely to happen whenever she rode on it.
