Right Arm Soul Bone, Refined in an Instant!

Gray soul runes streaked through the polar snowstorm, linking end to end and weaving into an intricate three-dimensional magic formation in midair, one that exuded an ancient, weathered aura.

Holy Necromancer Electrolux floated above the heart of the formation, his hands forming dazzling seals. Though the chant from his mouth was low, it clearly drowned out the howling cold wind around them.

Yun Yi stood at the center of the formation, hard black ice beneath his feet.

At the bottom of the deep pit ahead, the massive body of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion lay quietly prone, having abandoned all defense and resistance.

As Electrolux suddenly pressed both hands downward, thousands upon thousands of gray rays descended from the formation and accurately sank into the Ice Empress's shell.

At that moment, the boundary between life and death was forcibly blurred by magic.

The process of stripping away the soul was not painful. Instead, it carried a lightness akin to liberation.

The radiant shell at the bottom of the pit visibly lost its luster. Its interwoven icy white and jade-green carapace turned dull and rough, eventually becoming nothing more than an empty shell devoid of all signs of life.

Above that empty shell, a tiny, translucent Ice Jade Empress Scorpion slowly rose. Drawn by the gray rays, it flew straight toward Yun Yi's brow.

Within his spiritual sea, the mark of the soul contract instantly took shape.

Yun Yi clearly felt an intimately connected consciousness appear deep within his soul.

That consciousness was pure, complete, and entirely under his control.

The contract ceremony was complete.

Electrolux satisfactorily withdrew the formation, and his gray phantom returned to the depths of Yun Yi's brow to rest and recover.

Yun Yi opened his eyes, and ripples of deep blue spread through the air at his side.

The Ice Empress, who had just completed the contract, appeared directly in the world in her soul spirit form.

She was no longer the enormous and terrifying soul beast from before. Her body had shrunk to less than the size of a palm.

The miniature Ice Jade Empress Scorpion floated in midair, waving her two silver-white front claws a few times. Rather than looking intimidating, she appeared somewhat comical.

The Ice Empress lowered her head to inspect her new appearance, her yellow diamond-like eyes filled with disdain.

The ruler of the Extreme North had now become such an embarrassing little thing. The pride of a soul beast within her took a heavy blow.

With a thought, a deep blue radiance instantly enveloped her.

When the light faded, the tiny scorpion had vanished, replaced by the figure of a human girl.

The girl was only slightly taller than Yun Yi's waist and wore an exquisite little dress of white and green.

Her fair, tender cheeks were still slightly chubby, and her long jade-green hair was tied into two high twin ponytails that swayed behind her as she turned her head.

In this adorable little-girl form, she looked about the same age as Xiao Xiao.

Yun Yi watched the transformed Ice Empress with great interest.

Just moments ago, she had been a soul beast overlord ready to self-destruct and fight to the death. In the blink of an eye, she had become such a fierce-looking little girl.

Unable to resist his mischievous urge, he directly reached out with his right hand and pinched the Ice Empress's delicately sculpted cheek, lightly tugging it outward with his thumb and forefinger.

Her skin felt icy cool, smooth, soft, and springy.

The Ice Empress's eyes instantly widened into perfect circles.

She was the mighty Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, who had lived through countless years. In the Extreme North, who would dare touch even one of her spines?

Yet today, a human brat had actually pinched her cheek!

"Insolence!"

The Ice Empress glared at Yun Yi, opening her mouth to bite those two offending fingers. Her right hand instinctively clenched into a fist, ready to teach this human who did not know his limits a lesson.

However, when the corner of her eye swept across her surroundings, all her movements froze stiffly in midair.

A few steps away, the Limit Douluo Mu En stood with his arms folded, glaring at her menacingly.

At Yun Yi's brow, Electrolux also extended a wisp of spiritual intent, studying her with great interest as though he had discovered some novel specimen.

She could not defeat the old man nearby, and there was even an untouchable monster living within the spiritual sea where she resided.

Moreover, the soul contract had already taken effect. Her life and death were entirely in the hands of the youth before her.

Gritting her teeth, the Ice Empress swallowed her boiling rage, along with the words that had nearly burst from her mouth.

She abruptly shook off Yun Yi's hand, turned around to face away from everyone, crossed her arms over her chest, and puffed out her cheeks in anger as she sulked by herself.

Seeing that the little girl knew when to yield, Yun Yi stopped while he was ahead and withdrew his hand.

"Enough. Stop pretending to be so profound." Yun Yi flexed his wrist and got straight to the point. "Carefully sense your current condition. How is this soul spirit system functioning?"

Hearing the question, the Ice Empress put aside her little tantrum.

She had signed the contract to survive, so naturally, no one cared more about her current state than she did.

She closed her eyes and quietly sensed the connection between her soul and the surrounding world.

After a long while, the Ice Empress opened her eyes again. The frustration from before had long been replaced by deep shock.

"This is truly unbelievable." The Ice Empress lowered her head and looked at her fair little hands. "My consciousness has been preserved completely intact. In the past, when soul beasts sacrificed themselves or were killed, their souls would rapidly dissipate under the erosion of the world's laws, leaving only a violent resentment within the soul ring. But now, my soul origin has been firmly locked by this contract, without the slightest loss."

She raised her head, and a trace of complicated emotion appeared in her gaze toward Yun Yi.

"What surprises me even more is that I still retain control over my own energy. When you human soul masters absorb soul rings, you often face the danger of exceeding your body's limits. If the energy of four hundred thousand years of cultivation were poured into you all at once, even with Twin Martial Souls, you would explode on the spot."

The Ice Empress paused, her tone turning solemn. "But now that I am a soul spirit, I can control the output of that energy myself. I do not need to compress all my cultivation into a single soul ring. Instead, I can gradually unseal it in batches according to what your body can withstand. That means I can provide you with multiple soul rings and fill the future gaps of your Ice Yi Divine Spear!"

This discovery was enough to overturn all the common knowledge of soul masters across Douluo Continent.

A single soul beast producing multiple soul rings had once been nothing but a fantasy.

Yun Yi was not surprised in the slightest.

In the original story, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Snow Empress had both used this method to provide Huo Yuhao with several heaven-defying soul rings and soul skills.

This was precisely one of the advantages of the soul spirit system.

"I already accounted for that." Yun Yi remained calm as he pointed toward the Ice Empress's original body in the deep pit below. "The urgent matter now is extracting your soul bone. Condense and compress your origin power into a right arm bone for me."

The Ice Empress froze for a moment, her jade-green twin ponytails swaying in the air.

"A right arm bone? Are you sure you want a right arm bone?" The Ice Empress frowned as she questioned him, her tone carrying a hint of indignation at being underestimated. "I am the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion! The most refined part of my cultivation, along with my strongest defense and power, are all concentrated in my torso bone! You are actually giving up a top-grade four-hundred-thousand-year torso bone and asking me to condense a right arm bone for you?"

By the common understanding of the soul master world, the value of a torso bone always ranked first among all soul bones. Its enhancement to a soul master's physique was comprehensive.

The Ice Empress had thought Yun Yi would eagerly demand her torso bone, but he only wanted an arm.

Following the Ice Empress's gaze to the empty shell, Yun Yi gave his reason without any courtesy.

"Your torso bone is indeed top-grade, but in the blueprint for my second martial soul, it still falls short by a level."

At Yun Yi's words, the Ice Empress nearly stomped her feet in rage.

She was a mighty three-hundred-ninety-thousand-year soul beast, yet the soul bone she produced was being dismissed as insufficiently high-grade?

Just as she was about to argue, a name suddenly flashed through her mind, and her entire soul body stiffened.

In the Extreme North, who besides the Snow Empress reigning at its peak could surpass the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion in both ice attributes and overall strength?

Did he intend to reserve the most crucial torso bone slot for the Snow Empress?!

Yet despite her shock, the Ice Empress said nothing more.

They were now bound together. The stronger Yun Yi became, the greater her hope of surviving and becoming a god in the future.

"Fine. A right arm bone it is."

The empty shell of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion in the pit below began to tremble violently.

Amid a rapid series of cracking bones, the enormous shell began to collapse inch by inch from its tail, turning into ice powder that filled the sky.

All of its refined energy madly gathered toward the huge pincer on its right side.

The radiance grew increasingly brilliant. Finally, the entire shell completely vanished, leaving only an arm bone emitting a faint green glow in midair.

This right arm bone was a deep jade-green throughout, crystal-clear, as if green liquid were slowly flowing within it.

Its surface was covered in hexagonal ice crystal patterns, and the extreme chill it emitted caused the surrounding space to warp slightly.

The four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Right Arm Bone was complete!

The Ice Empress controlled the right arm bone as it slowly floated toward Yun Yi and landed in his palm.

"This soul bone contains all the destructive power of my twin pincers. The skill it grants definitely will not disappoint you," the Ice Empress reminded him. "The ultimate ice energy inside it is extremely domineering. You should find a quiet, safe cave and spend a few days absorbing it slowly. With your senior brother guarding you, I can also help regulate your meridians from the side, so your arm does not get frozen."

Mu En also stepped forward, ready to release his Soul Power and set up a defensive barrier around them, creating a stable environment for Yun Yi to absorb it.

However, Yun Yi's next action left everyone present dumbfounded.

Holding the right arm bone that radiated terrifying cold, he did not even intend to sit down and meditate.

He simply rolled up the sleeve on his right arm and pressed the jade-green soul bone against his forearm.

"Why look for a cave? Too troublesome. It is just a bone. I will refine it now."

Yun Yi's tone was casual as the three main god imprints in his spiritual sea lit up with a faint glow at the same time.

Though they did not manifest physically, the power of laws that transcended the mortal world instantly poured into his right arm.

At the same time, the ultimate ice attribute within Yun Yi's body was completely awakened.

The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Right Arm Bone, which had still been arrogantly radiating icy energy and attempting to resist its host, sensed a source of ultimate ice that was purer and more domineering than itself, along with the faint suppression of laws. All intent to resist instantly crumbled.

The jade-green soul bone transformed into a mass of viscous liquid light and seeped directly into Yun Yi's body through his pores.

There was no agonized scream, no violent struggle, not even a twitch of his muscles.

Complex hexagonal ice crystal patterns emerged over Yun Yi's right arm. The patterns flashed with a dazzling green light before quickly sinking beneath his skin.

After a crisp series of sounds from bones shifting and restructuring, Yun Yi flexed the five fingers of his right hand, clenched his fist, and felt the power within his body multiply explosively.

The entire refinement process, from beginning to end, took less than ten breaths.

Mu En's outstretched hand, which had been prepared to form a barrier, froze in midair, his aged eyes widened round.

As for the Ice Empress, the original owner of the soul bone, she clutched her head with both hands. Her jade-green twin ponytails fluttered chaotically in the wind as she fell into profound self-doubt.

That was a four-hundred-thousand-year soul beast soul bone!

Even a Limit Douluo would have to carefully strip away its violent energy while absorbing it, afraid of damaging their meridians.

Yet this brat had absorbed and refined it in less than ten seconds while standing there, without even breaking a sweat!

"You... you are a monster!" The Ice Empress pointed at Yun Yi, only managing to force out those words after a long while.
