Sky Dream Ice Silkworm protected Ice Empress's Spiritual Origin and helped it slowly transform into a second Wisdom Soul Ring.
As Ice Empress fully settled into Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea, Life Gold finally accepted her as one of its own. A surge of emerald light washed over her, stabilizing her Spiritual Origin.
Huo Yuhao also slowly came to. He switched to his Second Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and looked at the red Soul Ring floating above it with a satisfied smile.
"Yuhao, with your body as strong as it is now, absorbing a second Soul Ring of around five thousand years won't be a problem."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had woken up, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm prepared to take him to find a second Soul Ring for his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.
"Brother Sky Dream, let's go, then. We'll get the Simulation Soul Skill you mentioned."
With Sky Dream Ice Silkworm guiding him, Huo Yuhao set out to find an Ice Silkworm of around five thousand years to serve as his second Soul Ring.
Huo Yuhao believed the Ice Silkworm Clan's Simulation Soul Skill could be called half a divine skill.
With the Simulation Soul Skill's formidable concealment and the strength of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power, probably no one except a Limit Douluo could see through his disguise.
Guided by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a Soul Beast practically hailed as the Ice Silkworm Clan's ancestor, Huo Yuhao soon came across an Ice Silkworm of around six thousand years.
Its simulated Ferocious Beast aura was suppressed by Ice Empress, and its spiritual realm was weaker than Huo Yuhao's. It was easily killed and turned into Huo Yuhao's second Soul Ring.
With the Mysterious Heaven Skill guiding the process, the Soul Ring, whose age slightly exceeded a thousand years, posed no risk to Huo Yuhao. He absorbed it without incident.
After absorbing the Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level surged. The Soul Power he had accumulated earlier from absorbing Ice Empress's Soul Ring and Soul Bone rose all at once, quickly bringing him to level 28.
After finishing his Soul Ring absorption, Huo Yuhao didn't end his meditation. Instead, he drew over seven of the eight remaining halos from Divine Abyss and absorbed them all at once.
Huo Yuhao intended to raise his Innate Soul Power to level ten in one go and fully evolve his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.
Sure enough, driven by the seven halos raising his Innate Soul Power, the Spirit Eye, his Body Martial Soul, gradually began to change.
It didn't evolve into a Body Martial Soul encompassing his entire body, like the current Body Sect leader, Du Busi. Instead, it developed in the opposite direction.
Huo Yuhao discovered that his Spirit Eye Martial Soul no longer consisted of his eyes and brain alone. It had become his eyes, brain, and Spirit Sea.
In other words, whenever Huo Yuhao raised his Soul Power by one level from then on, his spiritual power would increase substantially as well.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual power had already been at the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm. Driven by the Martial Soul Evolution just now, it had broken through to the early stage of the Spirit Domain Realm.
Without carefully sensing the changes in his Spirit Sea, Huo Yuhao absorbed the eighth halo.
He would use this halo to achieve an unprecedented Second Awakening of a Body Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power.
As the eighth halo vanished, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes. His pupils had turned gold, and his whole being seemed to radiate a mysterious aura.
"Second Awakening, Fortune Enhancement." Huo Yuhao silently repeated the words in his heart. Golden light spread from his eyes across his entire body.
This Soul Skill had come from the Second Gold-Grade Awakening of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul. By consuming vitality, it could temporarily enhance his fortune and help bring about the outcome he wanted.
With Life Gold, Huo Yuhao had no worries about the loss of vitality. This Fortune Enhancement came with virtually no cost.
"Yuhao, you've completed your Martial Soul Second Awakening?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked quietly, gazing at Huo Yuhao as he radiated golden light.
"Yeah. It was a Gold-Grade Second Awakening. When I don't activate it, my spiritual power cultivates much faster. When I do, I gain a Fortune Enhancement."
"Yuhao, what did you say? Fortune Enhancement? Your Martial Soul can increase your fortune!" Ice Empress exclaimed in shock.
As a Soul Beast, Ice Empress understood the power of fortune very well. Auspicious Beasts with the power of fortune were treasures to the entire Soul Beast Realm. With their help, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could cultivate and advance with ease.
Ice Empress reassessed Huo Yuhao's chances of becoming a god. Now she felt they were nearly certain.
After applying the power of fortune, Huo Yuhao ended the state of his Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening and prepared for the next step of his plan.
"Brother Sky Dream, remember when I asked you about the Mirror Shadow Beast? You said it had a Mental Attribute too. I want to hunt one and make it my third Soul Ring."
Although Huo Yuhao had obtained all eight halos before reaching level ten, their combined effect had still brought him directly to level 30.
"No problem. We'll have Bing Bing release a Ferocious Beast's pressure. Combined with your spiritual power, it'll be enough to deal with a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm replied.
Soon, Huo Yuhao continued his journey in search of Soul Beasts.
Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts weren't easy to find. Even with the power of fortune on his side, Huo Yuhao didn't come across a Mirror Shadow Beast until the third day. It was around twenty thousand years old.
Covered in scales, the Mirror Shadow Beast curled up in the snow like a hedgehog, concealing itself, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm still spotted it.
The instant it sensed danger, the Mirror Shadow Beast tried to transform into a twenty-thousand-year Snow Demon King Titan and scare off its opponents. But under the pressure released by Huo Yuhao's Ice Empress, it trembled with fear.
The Mirror Shadow Beast finally mustered the courage to use the ability it had copied from the Snow Demon King Titan against Huo Yuhao. Then it watched as Huo Yuhao vanished from sight.
After using the Simulation Soul Skill to conceal himself, Huo Yuhao relied on his Spirit Domain Realm spiritual power to repeatedly unleash Spirit Shock against the Mirror Shadow Beast.
After repeated Spirit Shocks, the Mirror Shadow Beast's aura gradually weakened. At the brink of death, it went mad, using the Snow Demon King Titan's skills to attack everything around it.
With the help of Spirit Detection, Huo Yuhao dodged the Mirror Shadow Beast's desperate counterattack and watched a black Soul Ring slowly rise from its corpse.
Huo Yuhao felt his first battle using the Simulation Soul Skill had gone splendidly. Wasn't a mental-type Soul Master supposed to find a safe spot and keep using Spirit Shock?
His strategy of starting off invisible had proved, in actual combat, capable of pressing the attack or making a quick escape. A perfect battle plan.
Then Huo Yuhao drew the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring toward himself and began absorbing the Mirror Shadow Beast's Soul Ring.
After his Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening, Huo Yuhao's physical strength had improved once again. Absorbing this twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring only made his Soul Power a little unstable at first.
As time passed, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power gradually stabilized, and the absorption settled into a slow, steady process.
About an hour later, Huo Yuhao finished absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. The spiritual turbulence from the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's soul didn't cause the slightest ripple in his Spirit Domain Realm spiritual power.
Just as Huo Yuhao finished carrying out his entire plan and was preparing to leave the Far North, he suddenly noticed a pulse of Soul Power coming from the Mirror Shadow Beast's corpse.
Huo Yuhao immediately realized he'd struck gold. He quickly took out a Level Three Soul Tool dagger and cut open the Mirror Shadow Beast's corpse.
Sure enough, a Soul Bone lay inside, gleaming brightly.
