The Possibility of the Eyes Evolving Again

"This bead is the Life Bead of this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

Gu Yuena observed the black bead in her hand for a moment before putting it away.

"Absorb its soul ring first. We will discuss the bead in detail once we return to the Lake of Life."

Huo Yuhao knew a little about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's bead; aside from time and space, its other attributes did not align well with his eyes.

Hearing Gu Yuena say this, Huo Yuhao nodded, set his concerns aside, and sat cross-legged beside the carcass of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Huo Yuhao knew that for a human, absorbing a soul beast's soul ring was a monumental trial.

It was not only a physical challenge but a mental one as well.

His previous two experiences with absorbing soul rings had involved Sky Dream Iceworm actively offering himself as a sacrifice, which had only been slightly uncomfortable when expanding his Sea of Spirit; he had not felt much else.

Huo Yuhao had assumed he would have to suffer this time.

As the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring settled over Huo Yuhao, a sharp, icy current of energy surged into his body along with the ring.

The cold, evil energy had barely entered his system, not yet having a chance to act, when Huo Yuhao's body underwent an automatic transformation.

His blood began to boil, and without any effort on his part, dragon horns sprouted from his forehead.

That strand of evil energy was like a tiny ice pick meeting a scorching sun, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

Huo Yuhao's soul ring absorption proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

An hour later, he slowly opened his eyes.

Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was only sixty thousand years old, its strength was undeniable.

Huo Yuhao's soul power, thanks to its selfless contribution, had successfully reached... level thirty-two.

The idea of relying on soul beasts for rapid leveling was extinguished at that moment.

The Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood had indeed granted him formidable combat power, but the difficulty of leveling up had also increased significantly.

Want to take a shortcut?

Better to cultivate honestly on one's own!

"It seems your harvest was not small."

Seeing Huo Yuhao wake up, Gu Yuena offered a smile.

At this moment, she was the only one here; she had sent the other soul beasts back to the Lake of Life.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded, feeling a bit surprised. "It provided me with two soul skills, and both are quite powerful."

"In that case, let us return to the Lake of Life."

As Gu Yuena spoke, she glanced at the spot where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body had been. "All the origins of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were concentrated into its Life Bead; it did not produce a soul bone."

Huo Yuhao replied helplessly, "Even if it had a soul bone, I wouldn't be able to absorb it."

His Ancestral Dragon Spirit rejected even the soul rings generated by the power of other soul beasts, let alone a physical part of a soul beast's body.

He had nearly failed when he previously asked Elder Yi to help him evolve his Eye of Life.

That had been such a massive undertaking, and it had only succeeded in the end due to Huo Yuhao's deliberate control and the potent vitality of the Gold of Life.

Integrating a soul bone required the bone to enter the body and fuse with his physical form.

Body: What are you trying to do to my noble physique!

There was simply no possibility of it.

Gu Yuena was not surprised by Huo Yuhao's words; on the contrary, it only confirmed her previous suspicions.

Huo Yuhao's body had indeed successfully undergone atavism!

He was now a pure, humanoid soul beast.

Have you ever seen a soul beast that could fuse with the soul bone of another soul beast?

Gu Yuena smiled brilliantly. "With your bloodline, you don't need those soul bones to provide you with soul skills. Now that we have returned to the Lake of Life, you can also attempt to have your Ancestral Dragon Spirit condense a soul ring."

Self-condensed soul rings had no age limits and could even grow alongside the strength of the individual.

As for the color of the soul ring, it could be adjusted entirely according to their own will.

This was Gu Yuena's final confirmation.

As long as Huo Yuhao succeeded, he would be another Co-Lord of Soul Beasts for the soul beast race!

Lake of Life, space beneath the lake.

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the massive piece of Gold of Life, the bead captured by Gu Yuena floating before him.

Gu Yuena sat opposite him, her purple eyes fixed on the bead. "This Life Bead contains six attributes: time, space, wind, thunder, darkness, and evil. It is very useful for your first martial soul; perhaps with its help, your martial soul can evolve once more."

Upon hearing the keyword "martial soul evolution," Huo Yuhao glanced toward the exit of the space.

Outside this space, there was a small beast with beautiful golden fur.

In the original story, it was because of the sacrifice of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, that Huo Yuhao's Eye of Life evolved into the Eye of Fate.

Yet, because of that, Qiu'er, who had loved him, was gone forever.

Although Huo Yuhao craved power, he had not reached such a deranged level.

His plan was to attempt to coax the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, having both her from ten thousand years in the future and her from ten thousand years in the past perform an attribute guidance for him.

Much like Electrolux and the Sky Dream Iceworm had done, he intended to exploit a bug in the world to gain double the power of fate, thereby attempting to evolve his eyes into the Eye of Fate.

Of course, the probability of success was not high.

Now, with the assistance of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Bead, perhaps his previous plan could actually succeed!

Huo Yuhao felt a surge of excitement.

"Sister Nana, can you strip away the other attributes within this bead, leaving only its inherent time and space attributes, along with its capacity to contain a specific attribute?"

His Eye of Time, Space, and Life did not actually need so many flashy attributes; time and spirit were already sufficient.

The evil, darkness, wind, and lightning attributes within the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Bead were of no use to him at all.

If he truly needed other combat methods, his own strength and his second martial soul were more than enough.

Gu Yuena sensed it carefully for a moment. "I can purge the wind, lightning, and darkness attributes for you, but the evil attribute is the very foundation of this Life Bead's existence; it is difficult to remove without destroying it. If I were in my prime, it might be possible, but as for now..."

"Yuhao, the evil attribute is also beneficial to your first martial soul."

Electrolux reminded him from within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.

"If nothing else, it can make your Spirit Shock significantly more aggressive."

Huo Yuhao had learned the soul skill Spirit Shock after a period of cultivation, though he had never used it.

If Huo Yuhao were to use Spirit Shock normally, he would need ten parts of his spiritual power to affect an opponent.

However, with the bonus of the evil attribute, he might only need six parts or even less to achieve the same result.

The impact caused would be even more powerful as well.

Simply put, this evil attribute acted like a weapon with an armor-piercing effect, while also carrying a chaotic, negative influence.

Upon hearing Electrolux's words, Huo Yuhao immediately nodded to Gu Yuena.

"Then let's keep it!"
