"Once Yao'er reaches level 40, us old fellows will help you find the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor soul beast!" Golden Crocodile said earnestly to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao nodded obediently. "All right, Grandpa Golden Crocodile."
Golden Crocodile continued to Qian Daoliu and the others, "My Martial Soul has now evolved into the Crimson Gold Crocodile Dragon. My Golden Bloodline has deepened further, and both my strength and physical toughness have greatly increased!"
"Is there anything else to deal with here? Yao'er, how were your gains?"
After hearing Golden Crocodile's words, Azure Luan and Xiong Shi were also curious about Yao'er's gains. Yao'er's Golden Lion Mastiff Martial Soul had already been absurdly powerful. If it received another boost, they truly did not dare imagine just how strong it would become!
Xiao Yao said, "The Immortal Herbs I consumed were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. I cultivated the Ice-Fire-Immune Physique, and my constitution has also been greatly enhanced!"
Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi widened their eyes. Direct immunity to both fire and ice attributes? Wasn't that far too absurd?
What were ice- and fire-attribute Soul Masters supposed to do when they encountered Yao'er?
They could unleash all their Soul Skills and deal a full round of damage, only to discover that Yao'er had not been hurt at all. Then they might choose to rush forward and engage him in close combat, but after fighting Yao'er hand-to-hand, they would discover his outrageous stats and mechanics, along with the absurd damage-reduction effect of his second Soul Skill!
After giving it some thought, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi could not help feeling helpless and powerless on behalf of Yao'er's future enemies,
when facing Yao'er, a monster in both stats and mechanics.
Xiao Yao continued, "Although each person can only consume one Immortal Herb, with the right combination, it is possible to consume two or even three."
"For instance, by using the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I was able to consume both the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Without the guidance of this miraculous spring water, consuming those two Immortal Herbs together would only cause one to explode and die."
"I now plan to consume the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. It can independently strengthen my spiritual power!"
Qian Daoliu and the others nodded as they listened to Xiao Yao. This was a fortuitous opportunity found by Yao'er's Martial Soul. However Yao'er chose to handle the remaining Immortal Herbs was fine with them. They were already immensely satisfied to have received the fortune of a single Immortal Herb.
Besides, Yao'er's ability to consume so many Immortal Herbs was his own capability. The stronger Yao'er became, the better it was for them.
After all, the more Immortal Herbs Yao'er consumed, the deeper his foundation would certainly be. And the deeper his foundation, the greater his chances of becoming a god!
If Yao'er truly became a god, then those who had protected him and invested everything in him during his weakest period would surely receive enormous returns!
Had they not seen how Yao'er, with only three Soul Rings, had already bestowed upon them the fortune of Immortal Herbs, allowing their Martial Souls to undergo a reborn evolution and break through the bottlenecks imposed by their original Martial Souls?
If Yao'er became a god, they did not even dare imagine what he could give them! Perhaps they might truly get to visit the God Realm and broaden their horizons. If there was even a one-in-ten-thousand chance,
that Yao'er would keep them in the God Realm, then even if they were merely guarding his gate, people on Douluo Continent would still see them as having become gods!
Immortality, eternal lifespans—just thinking about it made their entire bodies tremble.
The looks they gave Yao'er became even more fervent. They practically wanted to say directly to him, "Please command this old man as you please! This old man will do anything!"
However, they were at least one or two hundred years old and still had a bit of shame left. They could only hint at Yao'er with their eyes, hoping he might understand what they meant!
Seeing the fervent expressions Golden Crocodile and Azure Luan wore as they looked at him, Xiao Yao had no idea what they meant. Still, he did not dwell on it. As long as they did not seem hostile toward him, that was enough.
Xiao Yao walked toward the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which was entirely emerald green with three snow-white leaves growing at its center. He wrapped the dew-like droplets condensed on its leaves in Soul Power and swallowed them.
After only one or two breaths, he felt his Sea of Consciousness expanding madly and his spiritual power increasing drastically. Even the Golden Lion Mastiff within his Sea of Consciousness revealed a somewhat blissful expression.
Several hours later, Xiao Yao opened his eyes. His golden pupils gleamed faintly, and he felt refreshed beyond measure, in excellent condition!
Seeing that Xiao Yao was in good condition, Qian Daoliu asked, "Yao'er, is there anything else that needs to be dealt with here? How do you plan to handle this place? Should we have people from Spirit Hall guard it, or what?"
Xiao Yao said, "My Martial Soul is now reacting somewhat to this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. In particular, the space within my third Soul Skill, Rivers and Mountains as a Painting, is sending out a craving for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
"It seems that space inherited the Devouring ability of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and wants to devour the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to strengthen itself."
Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi were instantly shaken upon hearing Xiao Yao's words.
In their eyes, that space had already exceeded all conventional limits. Its mechanics were invincible, and if used well against enemies, its first-encounter kill effect would be extraordinarily significant.
Moreover, it possessed immense strategic potential.
Yet now, Yao'er was telling them that the space actually possessed Devouring power and wanted to devour this incomparably miraculous Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?
Wasn't that too outrageous?
If it truly devoured it, and if Yao'er's space could continue growing larger and stronger, then Yao'er would undoubtedly become a god!
How could someone who possessed a vast world still not be called a god? And merely thinking about this skill made them feel that its growth potential was invincible.
It possessed limitless potential. If it could devour the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then after becoming sufficiently powerful, could it devour Douluo Continent itself?
Could it devour the planets, the sun, and the moon in the universe?
Just how powerful would Yao'er become by then? More importantly, this was a clear, tangible, and feasible path.
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle and their entire bodies tremble!
Qian Daoliu's eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He knew that as long as Yao'er's safety was protected, Yao'er would certainly become a god. Even without a godhood, he could still possess power capable of contending with gods.
Once he possessed power capable of contending with gods, becoming a god would become much easier. The simplest approach would be to imitate the First Generation Angel God and the Sea God by gathering faith.
Or perhaps it would not need to be so troublesome. Yao'er's talent was so dazzling that it was more likely a god would descend with an inheritance, allowing Yao'er to directly inherit a godhood and ascend to the heavens in a single step!
Once Yao'er became a god, the First Generation Angel God's wish and the mission left to the Qian Family would certainly be fulfilled!
A wish spanning ten thousand years, an obsession spanning ten thousand years—the distant and unattainable mission that the Qian Family had carried out generation after generation for ten thousand years finally had hope of being completed!
That hope stood right before his eyes!
Qian Daoliu secretly swore at that moment that even if he died, nothing could happen to Yao'er. Anyone who wished to harm Yao'er would have to step over Qian Daoliu's corpse first!
For Qian Daoliu, who had undergone the Angel God's trials, completed the eighth trial, possessed eight black Soul Rings and one red Soul Ring, as well as the Ninth Soul Skill Angel Descent and the divine artifact Angel Holy Sword, as long as no God Rank being descended, he could protect Yao'er. If a God Rank expert truly came, he would burn himself to delay the enemy and leave Yao'er time to escape!
