"Accept my Divine Trial. It can help you resist the Asura Godly Thought. Don't worry—the God Realm has rules forbidding gods from interfering too much with the lower realm. He won't go too far, but don't be too reckless either."
Ice God raised a finger and lightly tapped it. A streak of light entered Huo Yuhao's forehead, and a snowflake pattern appeared between his brows.
Gods could not interfere excessively with the lower realm, but they always had a few tricks up their sleeves.
"I don't have any divine artifacts left now." Ice God lowered his head and looked at his increasingly transparent hands, his tone carrying a trace of self-mockery.
After being revived, he truly had nothing left. His savings had nearly been cleaned out.
"But I still have a little left. I'll entrust it to you."
After helping Huo Yuhao condense the mark, Ice God's phantom became even more ethereal.
He pushed a piece of equipment from his hand, along with several pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. If he had not hidden these so well, some fellow might have found a chance to take them away.
"Senior, I will never forget this great kindness. In the future, I will definitely revive you."
Huo Yuhao knelt and kowtowed three times.
"Just do your best regarding my revival. Don't dwell on it too much. That is a one-use teleportation gate. Once you absorb the Divine Outfit, leave through there."
After saying that, Ice God's figure dissipated, leaving behind only an ice sculpture.
Watching Ice God's figure vanish, Ice Empress shed tears. Ice God was the faith of the Far North. How could she not be saddened to see him disappear before her eyes?
Tian Meng, on the other hand, felt no sadness at all. He was filled only with the joy of suddenly becoming rich.
Three pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, a set of Divine Outfit, and a Divine Rank cultivation technique called Ice Heaven! Wasn't this a straight-up takeoff?
"Yuhao, let's absorb the Divine Outfit first. Legend says Divine Outfits are all Soul Bones!"
"Brother Sky Dream, the Divine Outfit Ice God gave us this time isn't purely made of Soul Bones. The original Ice God Divine Outfit has already been damaged."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and spoke to Tian Meng. When accepting the inheritance, Ice God had already transmitted some information into his consciousness.
"It isn't? Whatever, it's still called a Divine Outfit!"
It did not matter if it was not a Soul Bone. It was still called a Divine Outfit, and after absorbing it, it would definitely be stronger than what they had now.
"Mm."
Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and guided the Divine Outfit into his body.
Not far away, two phantoms watched Huo Yuhao absorb the Divine Outfit.
"What do you think of Yuhao, Senior?" Jiang Bai asked. He had come over during their earlier conversation.
"Quite good. He's even a child of destiny. I'm rather satisfied."
Ice God nodded. He was indeed quite satisfied with Huo Yuhao.
"Senior, where did you hide those pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow?"
"Cough, cough. I gave them away."
Ice God coughed twice. Leaving everything else aside, this boy named Jiang Bai was truly good at scavenging, like a rat. If the place where he had hidden the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow had not been so remote, it might really have been found.
"The Asura God has changed. Did you know?"
Jiang Bai thought that since the Divine Position had already been given away, he could reveal a little information and see what Ice God thought of the Asura God.
"Hm?"
Hearing that the Asura God had changed, Ice God was stunned. What was this? Had the Asura God run off? Then again...
"See for yourself."
Jiang Bai tossed out a version of Douluo Continent with most of the content removed. He had written it himself.
There was no helping it. All the records about Tang San on the continent were nothing but praise—things like "the Sea God and Asura God's dual Divine Positions," "the strongest god in history," and "the guardian of Douluo Continent."
Rather than digging through those watered-down historical materials, he might as well write his own version. After all, what Jiang Bai remembered was all official history.
"He destroyed Spirit Hall? He also destroyed Slaughter City? He interfered with a divine war in the lower realm? He revived his own inheritor? How did Asura become so shameless?"
The more Ice God read, the more alarmed he became. Reviving his own inheritor? One who had died in a divine war?
How could Asura be so shameless?
Besides, Tang San had become a god around the same time as well. How could he have lost to the inheritors of Angel God and Rakshasa God?
The Asura God was a God King-level Divine Position! And this Tang San even held dual Divine Positions!
Furthermore, as Ice God looked at Tang San, he noticed the shadows of quite a few gods behind him, including several Second-Level Gods.
And he still got killed? Was he that useless? What had Asura God seen in him?
"And this inheritor—doesn't he know how important Slaughter City is? Spirit Hall was destroyed too? No, that's not right."
When he considered Spirit Hall's destruction and Slaughter City's disappearance, Ice God suddenly thought of something.
"What happened to Angel God? And what are Evil Soul Masters like now?"
"Angel God fell long ago. Evil Soul Masters are everywhere now," Jiang Bai answered.
Ice God: "..."
What was this generation's Asura trying to do?
For the first time, Ice God fell into deep thought.
Ice God split into two figures. One of them said to Jiang Bai, "I'll go outside and take a look. My main body will remain here to recover. I'll leave my split soul to you."
"You've sensed the split soul's power too. It can only perceive the outside world."
"Alright, Senior."
After accepting Ice God's split soul, Jiang Bai took it back to his cave dwelling in the outside world.
One main soul of Ice God remained within Ice God Hall.
"Completely under his thumb."
Ice God sighed. The Ice God Core was in Jiang Bai's hands. The other party could directly detonate his Divine Position.
Though this left Ice God somewhat depressed, he did not intend to do anything more.
But...
Since you're gone, Asura, then I won't hold back against your inheritor.
A fierce gleam appeared in Ice God's eyes.
Three days later.
"Icey, is the fusion complete?"
Tian Meng looked at Ice Empress, who was clad in the Divine Outfit, and he was practically drooling.
That was right. After Jiang Bai's modification, the Divine Outfit that had originally been worn by the inheritor had become equipment attached to the Martial Soul.
Tian Meng did not need to fight, and his combat experience was certainly inferior to Ice Empress's. Therefore, the Divine Outfit naturally had to be equipped on Ice Empress's Martial Soul.
In the future, Huo Yuhao would need to cultivate to Soul Saint and cooperate with Ice Empress before he could use the full power of the Divine Outfit.
"The initial fusion is complete. My cultivation still isn't enough for a complete fusion."
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. His strength had directly risen to level twenty-two.
His strength would rise even faster in the future.
After bowing toward the ice sculpture on the seat in the center of the temple, Huo Yuhao said to the two Soul Beasts, Ice Empress and Tian Meng, "Brother Sky Dream, Ice Empress, let's go."
"Right, time to prepare your second Soul Ring."
Tian Meng thought of Jiang Bai's second Soul Ring. They had to find one special enough to prevent others from noticing anything suspicious.
"This is your Martial Soul?"
Ice God's split soul floated in a corner of the cave dwelling like a pale blue mist, watching Xue Ying sit at the table and eat.
It was startled. Was this a Soul Beast? Why had he never seen one before? Was it some new Soul Beast that had appeared later? Why did it feel somewhat like a Heavenly Snow Woman, yet not quite the same?
Previously, Ice God had assumed Jiang Bai's Martial Soul was pure ice element.
"Mm."
Jiang Bai nodded, then continued cultivating.
"Yuhao has left. You should be about ready too, right?" Ice God's split soul had barely finished speaking.
[Name: Jiang Bai] [Level: 32] [Martial Soul: Big-Eared Hood] [Domain: Winter Solstice] [Attribute: Ultimate Ice] [Soul Skills: 1, Frost Descent 2, Frostbite 3, Mist Surrounding] [Soul Bones: None]
Mist Surrounding: Restores stamina and increases the power of ice-attribute skills.
Jiang Bai was looking at the panel.
Rumble—
A loud boom came from afar, making the ground tremble slightly. Ice chips rustled down from the cave walls.
Roar—
A deep beastly roar sounded from the distance. The sound waves carried biting cold, making the ice crystals within the cave hum.
A ten-thousand-year Ice King Bear.
Recognizing the Soul Beast that had roared, Jiang Bai frowned.
This thing was one of the top predators in the Far North. With his current strength, dealing with it would not be easy.
He should first see what had happened.
Jiang Bai flew out of the cave dwelling and looked toward the source of the sound.
There was no helping it. A ten-thousand-year Ice King Bear would not be easy for him to handle.
"This is... Su Tong?"
In the distance, a vast white snow mist was rising like an enormous mushroom cloud. Broken trees and shattered ice could vaguely be seen. The avalanche was still continuing, white waves pouring down the mountainside while carrying shattered ice and stones.
Several figures were fleeing in a sorry state beneath the snow mist.
"Tongtong, run!"
Watching the Ice King Bear draw closer and closer, all six of Su Jianghe's Soul Rings lit up.
While they had been hunting Soul Beasts, an avalanche had inexplicably occurred. Many Soul Beasts had been startled and rushed out at once.
This bear had happened to appear right in front of them.
No matter what, he had to stop the Ice King Bear. He had to let Su Tong escape safely.
"This is the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul? How is that possible?"
Ice God froze when he saw Su Tong's Martial Soul. How was that possible? A Heavenly Snow Woman could become a Martial Soul? It was truly unheard of...
How was that possible?
"Kid, how about saving her? I want to study this Martial Soul."
Ice God looked at Su Tong below. He truly wanted to study what was going on with this Martial Soul.
"Sure."
Fighting the Ice King Bear would be difficult, but saving Su Tong was easy for Jiang Bai. Besides, he did not want Su Tong to die here.
As she ran, Su Tong felt a thin mist rise before her eyes.
I'm going to die! Sob...
Seeing the scene before her, Su Tong was overwhelmed by helplessness, and despair surged in her heart.
It's over. I'm going to die!
The next second, Su Tong felt her hand being lifted, and her whole body was pulled into the air.
"Hm?"
Su Tong resisted the ice Soul Power in her body and tried her best to raise her head.
That white-clothed person from before?
"Ultimate Ice really is troublesome."
Su Tong saw green pupils. The next second, she discovered in shock that the ice Soul Power within her body had actually fused with the Soul Power being transmitted into her by the other party.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!
Su Tong immediately understood what it was, and Ice God beside her noticed it as well.
Jiang Bai also looked at Su Tong in surprise.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? He had one too?
Jiang Bai knew that Xue Ying was not a Martial Soul in the traditional sense, so what was going on with this Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
"Senior, save... save..."
Su Tong said with difficulty. Her second uncle was still below. If they did not save him, he would die...
