"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 against you, but don't be too reckless either."
Ice God extended a finger and lightly tapped it. A streak of light entered Huo Yuhao's forehead, and a snowflake pattern appeared between his brows.
Gods couldn't interfere excessively with the lower realm, but those gods always had a few tricks up their sleeves.
"As for divine artifacts and the like, I don't have any now." Ice God lowered his head and glanced at his increasingly transparent hands, a trace of self-mockery in his voice.
After his resurrection, he truly had nothing left. His entire fortune had nearly been emptied out.
"But I still have a little inheritance left. I'll entrust it to you."
After helping Huo Yuhao condense the mark, Ice God's phantom became even more insubstantial.
He pushed a piece of equipment forward, along with several Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows. If he hadn't hidden these well, some fellow might have found a chance to take them away.
"Senior, I will never forget your great kindness. In the future, I will surely revive you."
Huo Yuhao knelt and kowtowed three times.
"Just do your best regarding my resurrection. Don't take it too seriously. That's a one-time teleportation gate. Once you've absorbed the Divine Outfit, leave through there."
After saying this, Ice God's figure dispersed, 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 grieve as he faded away before her eyes?
Tian Meng, on the other hand, wasn't feeling sad at all. He was filled only with the joy of becoming rich overnight.
Three Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows, a set of Divine Outfit, and a divine-rank cultivation technique called Ice Heaven! Wasn't this a complete takeoff?
"Yuhao, let's absorb the Divine Outfit first. Legend says Divine Outfits are all Soul Bones!"
"Brother Sky Dream, the Divine Outfit Senior 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 he accepted the inheritance, Ice God had already transmitted some information into his consciousness.
"It isn't? Doesn't matter, it's still called a Divine Outfit!"
It didn't matter whether it was a Soul Bone or not. Since it was called a Divine Outfit, it would definitely be stronger than what they had now after being absorbed.
"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 arrived here during their earlier exchange.
"Quite good. He's even a child of fortune. I'm very satisfied."
Ice God nodded. He was indeed rather satisfied with Huo Yuhao.
"Senior, where did you hide those Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows?"
"Ahem, ahem. I gave them away."
Ice God coughed twice. Setting everything else aside, this kid named Jiang Bai was really good at scavenging. Like a rat, wasn't he? If the place where he'd hidden the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows hadn't been so remote, they might really have been found.
"Asura God has changed. Did you know?"
Jiang Bai thought that since the Divine Position had already been handed over, he could reveal a little information and see what Ice God thought of Asura God.
"Hm?"
When he heard that Asura God had changed, Ice God was stunned. What the hell? Asura God had run away? Then again...
"See for yourself."
Jiang Bai tossed over a version of Douluo Continent with most of its contents removed. He had written it himself.
There was no helping it. The records concerning Tang San on the continent were all nothing but praise—things like "dual Divine Positions of Sea God and Asura God," "the strongest god in history," and "the protector of Douluo Continent."
Rather than sift through that watered-down historical material, he might as well write his own version. Besides, everything Jiang Bai remembered was official history.
"Destroyed Spirit Hall? He even destroyed Slaughter City? He interfered with a god war in the lower realm? He resurrected his own successor? How did Asura become so shameless?"
The more Ice God read, the more alarmed he became. Resurrecting his own successor? One who had died in a god war?
How could Asura be so shameless?
And Tang San had become a god around the same time as the successors of Angel God and Rakshasa God. How could he have lost to them?
Asura God's Divine Position was at the God King level! And this Tang San even held dual Divine Positions!
Furthermore, as Ice God looked at Tang San, he discovered 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 successor—doesn't he know how important Slaughter City is? Spirit Hall was destroyed too? No, that's not right."
With the destruction of Spirit Hall and the disappearance of Slaughter City, Ice God suddenly thought of something.
"What happened to Angel God? And what about evil Soul Masters 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'm going out to take a look. My main body will remain here to recover. I'll leave my split soul with you."
"You've felt the split soul's power as well. It can only sense the outside world."
"Alright, Senior."
After receiving Ice God's Split Soul, Jiang Bai brought it back to his cave dwelling in the outside world.
One main soul of Ice God remained within the Ice God Hall.
"I'm completely under his thumb."
Ice God sighed. The Ice God Core was in Jiang Bai's hands, and the other party could directly detonate his Divine Position.
Although this left Ice God somewhat frustrated, he didn't want to do anything more.
But...
Since you're gone, Asura, then I won't be polite with your successor.
A fierce glint appeared in Ice God's eyes.
Three days later.
"Bingbing, has the fusion ended?"
Tian Meng looked at Ice Empress, who was clad in the Divine Outfit, and nearly drooled.
That's right. After Jiang Bai's modifications, the Divine Outfit that had originally been worn by the inheritor became equipment attached to the Martial Soul.
Tian Meng didn't need to fight, and his combat experience definitely couldn't compare to Ice Empress's. Thus, the Divine Outfit was naturally equipped onto Ice Empress's Martial Soul.
In the future, Huo Yuhao would need to cultivate to Soul Saint and cooperate with Ice Empress in order to unleash the Divine Outfit's full power.
"The initial fusion is complete. My cultivation isn't sufficient to fully fuse with it yet."
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. His strength had directly risen to level twenty-two.
His strength would increase even faster in the future.
After bowing toward the ice sculpture atop the seat at 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 keep others from noticing anything unusual.
"Is this 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 it before? Was it some new soul beast that had appeared later? Why did it seem somewhat like a Heavenly Snow Woman, yet not quite?
Previously, Ice God had assumed Jiang Bai's Martial Soul was simply pure ice element.
"Mm."
Jiang Bai nodded, then continued cultivating.
"Yuhao has left. You're about ready too, aren't you?" 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 Bone: None] Mist Surrounding: Restores stamina and increases the power of ice-attribute skills.
Jiang Bai was looking at the panel.
Rumble—
A deafening boom came from the distance, making even the ground tremble slightly. Ice chips rustled down from the cave walls.
Roar—
A deep beastly roar echoed from afar. The sound wave carried a chilling cold, making the ice crystals in the cave dwelling hum.
A ten-thousand-year Ice King Bear.
Recognizing the soul beast that had roared, Jiang Bai frowned.
This thing was one of the apex predators in the Far North. With his current strength, fighting it wouldn't 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 wasn't easy for him to deal with.
"This is... Su Tong?"
In the distance, a vast white snow mist billowed upward like a gigantic mushroom cloud. Faintly, he could see broken trees and shattered ice layers. The avalanche was still continuing, white tides pouring down the slopes while carrying broken ice and rocks with them.
Beneath the snow mist, several figures were fleeing in disarray.
"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 occurred for no apparent reason. Many soul beasts had been startled and rushed out at once.
This bear had happened to appear right in front of them.
But no matter what, he had to stop the Ice King Bear. He had to let Su Tong escape safely.
"This is a Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul? How is that possible?"
Ice God froze upon seeing Su Tong's Martial Soul. How was that possible? A Heavenly Snow Woman could become a Martial Soul too? He had truly never heard of such a thing...
How was that possible?
"Kid, how about saving her? I want to study this Martial Soul."
Ice God stared at Su Tong below. He truly wanted to study what was going on with this Martial Soul.
"Fine."
Fighting the Ice King Bear was difficult, but saving Su Tong was easy for Jiang Bai. Besides, he didn't want Su Tong to die here.
As Su Tong fled, she felt a thin mist rise before her eyes.
I'm going to die! Wuwuwu...
Seeing the scene before her, a feeling of helplessness swept over Su Tong, and despair surged within her heart.
It's over. I'm going to die!
The next second, Su Tong felt someone lift her by the hand, and her entire body rose into the air.
"Hm?"
Su Tong resisted the icy Soul Power within her body and struggled 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 by the other party.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!
Su Tong immediately knew what it was, and Ice God beside them noticed it as well.
Jiang Bai also looked at Su Tong in surprise.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? He had one of those too?
Jiang Bai knew that Xue Ying wasn't a Martial Soul in the traditional sense. Then what was going on with this Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
"Senior, save... save..."
Su Tong said with difficulty. Her second uncle was still down there. If they didn't save him, he would die...
