Overlord Body Soul Skill

The Ice Silkworm's body trembled as though electrified. It hurriedly cried, "Don't... don't kill me. You're only a level 93 Title Douluo right now. I'm a nine-hundred-ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast. The energy in my Soul Ring will make you explode."

Qian Xunyi approached Tian Meng with a cold sneer. "You needn't worry about that for me."

Tian Meng shifted backward, seeking an opportunity to use its abilities and escape, but the clone had sealed off every route of retreat. Driven by its powerful survival instinct, Tian Meng thought of a solution. "Don't, don't kill me. I can sacrifice myself to you and become your Wisdom Soul Ring..."

"There's no need for that." Qian Xunyi's Soul Power formed an enormous violet-gold hand that seized the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. In an instant, it crushed him apart, and a brilliantly golden Soul Ring nearing a million years emerged.

Qian Xunyi drew the Soul Ring over and absorbed it.

Half a day later, once Tian Meng's Soul Ring had been fully absorbed, Qian Xunyi's Soul Power Level rose naturally from level 92 to level 94.

The Heavenly Overlord Body's second Soul Ring unlocked the Pixiu Divine Form, as well as Nine Secret: Bing from the Nine Secret Techniques.

The Douluo version of Nine Secret: Bing had this effect: it could seize another's weapon, even their Tool Martial Soul, and wield the power of that Martial Soul. It was the bane of all Tool Martial Souls!

After unlocking this Nine Secret Technique, Qian Xunyi could already envision many practical applications.

For example, suppose Qian Xunyi took Chrysanthemum Ghost to fight Ning Fengzhi and the Sword and Bone Douluos, but Qian Xunyi could not personally act or use his own Martial Soul.

He could instead use Nine Secret: Bing to snatch Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, then use the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda's support-type Soul Skills on Chrysanthemum Ghost. Because the Martial Soul remained connected to its original owner, Ning Fengzhi would expend the Soul Power, Chrysanthemum Ghost would receive the enhancement, and the Sword and Bone Douluos would be the ones getting beaten.

He could also seize Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Seven Killings Sword, expend Chen Xin's Soul Power, use Chen Xin's Soul Skills, and attack Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi.

Naturally, he could also snatch Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, detonate all nine of Tang Hao's Soul Rings, and unleash the powerful Great Sumeru Hammer, with Tang Hao bearing the side effects from beginning to end.

Afterward, Qian Xunyi searched the corpses of the Ice Empress and Tian Meng and found two Soul Bones: the three-hundred-eighty-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Left Arm Bone and the nine-hundred-ninety-thousand-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Head Soul Bone.

After putting away the two Soul Bones, Qian Xunyi headed deeper into the Far North Ice Plains.

Though he could not fuse with Soul Bones, Qian Xunyi could still channel his Soul Power and release the aura of the Ice Empress's Soul Bone. It was as conspicuous as a torch raised in the night.

The Soul Bone's aura drew an enraged avenger.

A furious presence was approaching.

The blizzard became even more violent, and the icy-blue chill grew sharper. Violet-gold Soul Power flowed from Qian Xunyi's body, blocking the Ultimate Ice Soul Power outside.

Closer—

The cocoon-like blizzard was torn apart. Heaven and earth seemed frozen solid, and at the center of that frozen world, Qian Xunyi saw the newcomer.

The true ruler of the Far North, the six-hundred-eighty-thousand-year Heavenly Snow Woman, Snow Empress.

Snow Empress's gaze carried coldness, hatred, and killing intent. Looking at the Soul Bone in Qian Xunyi's hand, she said with icy murderous intent, "Human, you killed Bing'er—"

Qian Xunyi put away the Ice Empress's Soul Bone. "As you can see, she's already my first Soul Ring. And you, Snow Empress, will become my third Soul Ring. I'll take you with me to become a god."

"Dream on. Pay for Bing'er's life." Snow Empress immediately struck with Emperor Palm, one of the Snow Empress's Three Absolutes.

Two Soul Rings lit up around Qian Xunyi. Each brilliant golden ring bore a unique character: Lin, Bing! He used no Soul Skill, merely throwing a punch.

Fist met palm... and the violet-gold fist instantly pulverized the icy palm before blasting toward Snow Empress without losing any force.

"How is that possible..." Snow Empress hurriedly mobilized her Soul Power and barely evaded the fatal strike. The ground where she had stood collapsed at once, leaving behind a gigantic fist print.

"If I had just arrived in the Far North, dealing with you might have taken some effort. But now, I should be a level 94 Title Douluo." Qian Xunyi looked at Snow Empress calmly and confidently. "Just become my Soul Ring. I'll take you with me to become a god."

While her hatred reached its peak, Snow Empress was also speechless. She was a six-hundred-eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast. Even a level 99 human might not necessarily be able to defeat her. How could he, a mere level 94 Title Douluo, be so confident?

"Dream on!" Snow Empress formed an ice sword and slashed it toward Qian Xunyi. Qian Xunyi met it with his violet-gold fist.

This was one of Snow Empress's three famous ultimate techniques: Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme: Peerless!

Snow Empress had complete confidence in this Soul Skill. She believed that even Di Tian would not find it easy to receive this attack.

Yet when fist and sword collided, the ice sword did not last even a second. In an instant, it shattered into icy fragments like crushed popsicles... Snow Empress, normally expressionless as an iceberg, was stunned on the spot.

This was... a level 94 Title Douluo?

The next moment, Qian Xunyi's figure flashed, and his body vanished from Snow Empress's sight. In the following instant, he appeared before her. Nine Secrets: Lin activated, instantly spreading into a domain that suppressed Snow Empress with absolute strength. Then he threw a punch...

Snow Empress watched the fist arrive in despair. Unrivaled across the Far North all her life, she finally understood what it meant to be weak.

A brilliant golden Soul Ring, slightly inferior to Tian Meng's, emerged. It marked the death of Snow Empress, ruler of the Far North.

Snow Empress's Soul Ring unlocked two abilities: the White Tiger Divine Form and Nine Secrets: Dou!

The effect of Nine Secrets: Dou was this: it could copy, analyze, and use every Soul Skill and divine technique one witnessed, evolving them through oneself before unleashing them.

For example, when Tang San used Blue Silver Entanglement on him, he could use Blue Silver Entanglement in return and bind Tang San.

Or, if he watched Tang San use Tang Sect techniques, he could directly snatch them, evolve them himself, and further elevate them.

Afterward, Qian Xunyi casually stored the torso bone Snow Empress left behind in his Soul Tool.

At present, the three Soul Rings of Qian Xunyi's Overlord Body Martial Soul were brilliant gold, brilliant gold, and brilliant gold. Of them, Tian Meng's second Soul Ring was almost pure gold.

After absorbing three Soul Rings, the Heavenly Overlord Body unlocked its first innate ability—

Overlord's Retinue. It could transform the Soul Beasts whose Soul Rings had been absorbed into retainers and summon them forth. The retainers possessed strength equivalent to what they had in life and could cultivate independently. They submitted to the master of the Overlord Body; as long as the Overlord Body did not die, the retainers would never perish!

"Come forth, my retainers!"

Qian Xunyi's three Soul Rings projected three violet-gold beams of light.

Within the violet-gold radiance, three figures appeared: an emerald-green scorpion, a huge grub, and a snow woman.
