Second Martial Soul!

To the Ice Empress, this was undoubtedly unbelievable. Though she knew Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's combat strength was abysmal compared to hers, his cultivation was unquestionably real.

If they were to compare cultivation alone, even the Snow Empress, foremost among the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, could not compare with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Of course, Tian Meng's poor combat strength was mainly due to the disadvantage of his species. After all, the Ice Silkworm Clan had never been particularly strong in battle.

"I know you find this hard to believe, but for me, if I did not abandon my body, my life would have come to an end. So, I found a human and became his Wisdom Soul Ring. As long as I raise this human into a god, I can achieve eternal life alongside him!" Tian Meng said.

Tian Meng then began explaining to the Ice Empress what a Wisdom Soul Ring was, along with the so-called plan to cultivate a god. He especially praised Huo Yuhao at length.

"Then where is this human called Huo Yuhao you mentioned? Have him come out and meet me!" the Ice Empress said.

"Yuhao, come out quickly. Bingbing wants to see you!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said.

Huo Yuhao immediately walked out of the ice house. He examined the Ice Empress trapped within the shed shell and found that she was an Emerald Green Scorpion.

However, according to what he remembered, ferocious beast-level soul beasts seemed capable of taking human form at any time without giving up their soul beast cultivation.

The most typical example was the Ice Bear King. Though he was not one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, he had survived a hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, so he could still be considered a minor ferocious beast. Huo Yuhao remembered that in the original work, the Ice Bear King could directly transform into a big fat man.

"This is that human? What exactly is your relationship with him right now?" the Ice Empress asked doubtfully.

Tian Meng pondered for a moment before saying, "Relationship... Uh, Yuhao is my host. In a sense, he can also be considered my master. Our interests are tightly bound together."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual form then turned toward Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, this is the Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North. Her cultivation has reached 399,999 years. She is a powerful being on the verge of becoming a four-hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

"Your second martial soul possesses the ice attribute but lacks a form. As long as Bingbing is willing to work with us, your second martial soul will gain one! Then, you will become a true possessor of Twin Martial Souls!"

The Ice Empress looked Huo Yuhao over before saying indifferently, "I can sense that although you are merely a soul master, the strength of your Spiritual Power exceeds my expectations. Your talent should be quite good. If Tian Meng and I join forces, we are confident we can make you a Limit Douluo.

"As for turning you into a god, honestly, that is still exceedingly difficult. Douluo Continent has not produced a new god in ten thousand years. Rather than that, I might as well find a stronger human. At the very least, the odds would be better."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao stepped forward. "Ice Empress, I know that in your eyes, I am very weak right now.

"However, because I possess exceptional talent in soul guidance devices, I have been hailed as a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Therefore, the Empire's high-ranking Soul Engineers value me greatly and are willing to pour resources into me. Even if you find another human, it would be difficult for them to possess conditions like mine."

"Bingbing, Yuhao is right about that. I can vouch for him. Those humans all value him greatly. Don't you want to achieve eternal life with me? Bingbing, are you really so heartless? I have always loved you!" At the side, Tian Meng fully unleashed his shameless simping and directly confessed his feelings.

"Tian Meng, you useless trash, shut up! Do not call me that!" the Ice Empress shouted. Then she looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, even if what you say is true, so what? Soul Engineers are an extremely weak bunch of trash, incapable of comparing to soul masters of the same rank.

"So what if a Soul Engineer is highly regarded? Over the past four thousand years, I have killed several Rank 9 Soul Engineers who came to the Far North!"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Ice Empress, the development of Soul Guidance Technology has far surpassed your imagination. Three thousand years may be brief for a soul beast like you, but it is a long time for humans. Your understanding is already outdated!

"The Sun Moon Empire has long developed more powerful soul guidance devices. Take the Rank 9 Soul Cannon Shell, for example. The explosive power of a single Rank 9 Soul Cannon Shell is equivalent to a Limit Douluo's full-force attack!"

The Ice Empress froze, somewhat astonished. A Limit Douluo's full-force attack? In terms of cultivation, the Ice Empress could not truly be matched to a human Limit Douluo. Of course, combat strength and cultivation were not perfectly linked, which was another matter.

Even so, a Limit Douluo was still an opponent the Ice Empress had to take seriously. After all, Limit Douluo all possessed Dual Soul Cores, while she had only one. It was not that the Ice Empress did not wish to condense Dual Soul Cores, but for soul beasts, doing so was simply too difficult.

"Huo Yuhao, is this true?" the Ice Empress asked uncertainly.

"Of course it is." Huo Yuhao nodded. This was a setting written by an author at the highest realm. How could it possibly be fake?

At the side, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "Bingbing, I have attended some classes with Yuhao recently and learned a few things related to soul guidance devices. I can tell you with certainty that it is true!

"Human development has exceeded our imagination. I even feel that humans will rule the future world!"

The Ice Empress fell silent. She felt that the world was undergoing immense changes, yet she, who had always lived in the Far North, knew nothing about the changes outside. After all, few outsiders came to the Far North, so she had few channels through which to obtain information about the outside world.

"Bingbing, I have experience becoming a Wisdom Soul Ring. So join my God-Making Plan. You will not succeed if you choose someone else. If we create a god together, we can greatly increase Yuhao's chances of becoming one!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said from the side.

The Ice Empress glanced at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, her thoughts churning. "At worst, I can undergo the four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation. If I pass it, I will become a four-hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

"And then?" Huo Yuhao stared at the Ice Empress and spoke word by word. "Then wait for the next hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation? According to what I learned in class, soul beasts seem to face a Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years.

"Human Soul Guidance Technology is advancing so rapidly. Even if you survive this Heavenly Tribulation, how long can you continue living peacefully in the Far North? Future soul guidance devices will only grow more powerful. I can say with certainty that when that time comes, even you will be unable to contend against those powerful soul guidance devices!

"Ice Empress, will you choose to die at humanity's hands in the future, or will you take a gamble with me for a chance at godhood?"

After hearing those words, the Ice Empress looked at Huo Yuhao with growing admiration. "Huo Yuhao, you are quite good. Your temperament is rather decisive.

"I am willing to take a gamble with you and Tian Meng for that chance at godhood. After all, my origin has been damaged. I likely will not be able to survive the next Heavenly Tribulation."

In truth, after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's earlier persuasion, the Ice Empress had already begun considering creating a god together with him. However, because Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power was so immense, she suspected he was merely a lucky human who could only rely on Tian Meng.

Thus, she decided to test Huo Yuhao's character.

After all, if Huo Yuhao's personality was anything like the Ice Bear King's, she would never agree to create a god with Tian Meng!

Good. A wise man submits to circumstance. Huo Yuhao looked at the Ice Empress, coughed lightly, and said, "Then let us begin, Brother Sky Dream, Ice Empress."

"Alright." Tian Meng nodded, then began arranging for the Ice Empress's spiritual origin to leave her body.

A moment later, with Tian Meng and the Ice Empress's help, Huo Yuhao prepared to absorb the Ice Empress's soul bone first before adding the martial soul. Of course, to reduce the pain of absorbing the soul bone, he took out the Mystic Soul Right Leg Bone and fused it.

After all, due to that soul bone's fusion properties, it could merge with the Ice Empress's torso bone and would therefore not take up a slot.

One day later.

Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky and clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body.

Not only had he fused with the Ice Empress's torso bone, but he had also made the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor his martial soul. Under the guidance of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the strongest member of the Ice Silkworm Clan, he had also conveniently hunted an ice silkworm and obtained the Simulated Soul Skill.

This was undoubtedly an enormous improvement for him.

He carefully sensed his current soul power. "I am now a Level 28 Grand Soul Master."

For Huo Yuhao, the Sun Moon Empire's teaching methods were more scientific than Zhou Yi's methods at Shrek Academy. Furthermore, while studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he would occasionally go out and scavenge some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to consume. As a result, his actual soul power had improved considerably. However, since he had not obtained a new soul ring, his level had remained unchanged.

Although he had not obtained his second soul ring then and could not increase his Soul Power Level, that soul power had continued accumulating within him. Once he obtained his second soul ring, that accumulated soul power naturally became part of his level.

"Now it is time to return to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy! Once I return, the Academy's regard for me will rise another level.

"Twin Martial Souls are already rare, and my second martial soul is even of the Ultimate Ice attribute. That makes it even more precious. Added to that is my outstanding talent as a Soul Engineer. I am absolutely an overpowered prodigy!

"Starting today, I am the Sun Moon Empire's number one genius! Whether in martial soul cultivation or the field of soul guidance devices, it is the same! Perhaps after I return this time, some people will see in me the potential of a Limit Douluo and a Rank 10 Soul Engineer!"

Huo Yuhao activated his Flying Soul Guidance Device and flew toward the edge of the Far North.

Several days later, he emerged from the Far North.

This time, he had been rather lucky. On his way out, he had not encountered powerful soul beasts like the Ice Bear King, which put him somewhat at ease.

Several days later.

Huo Yuhao appeared in a mountain range outside Mingdu. However, his expression was somewhat grave at that moment, because through his Mental Detection, he discovered several corpse slaves nearby.

Corpse slaves were undoubtedly created by Evil Soul Masters. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters was within the Sun Moon Empire. In the original work, Huo Gua had even nearly become the so-called Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Of course, since the Holy Spirit Cult had not yet become the Nation Protecting Divine Church, it would not brazenly display its presence in a place like Mingdu. At most, it would secretly capture people for cultivation.

The Sun Moon Royal Family is truly a malignant tumor in some sense. They actually raised an organization like the Holy Spirit Cult. In the original work, Ye Xishui was the Sun Moon Royal Family's Supreme Elder. That means the cooperation between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Royal Family definitely did not begin with Xu Tianran. How can the Sun Moon Empire prosper while associating with such vermin?

Thoughts surged through Huo Yuhao's mind. Naturally, he had no intention of fighting the Holy Spirit Cult right now. The Holy Spirit Cult was still very powerful. Take Ye Xishui, for instance. She was a Limit Douluo with Twin Martial Souls, as well as a Rank 9 Soul Engineer!

From this perspective, Ye Xishui truly was a genius!

Though Evil Soul Masters were stronger in battle than ordinary soul masters, it was already extremely difficult for them to become Titled Douluo. Becoming a Limit Douluo was far more difficult for them than for ordinary soul masters.

Yet under such circumstances, Ye Xishui had not only become a Limit Douluo, but had even found the time to study soul guidance devices and become a Rank 9 Soul Engineer. She had also toyed with Mu En and Long Xiaoyao as if they were in the palm of her hand. It was utterly absurd!

I will develop myself properly first, then find a way to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult! The Sun Moon Empire will be my personal backyard in the future!

Huo Yuhao prepared to avoid the corpse slaves. He had no desire to confront the Holy Spirit Cult now. Who knew who the masters of those corpse slaves were?

Suddenly, a grand voice rang out in his mind.

"Traces of undead aura... I never expected that I had not perished, but instead retained a wisp of divine consciousness."

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, in his spiritual form, looked at the gray figure in the sky with astonishment. "It is you! You can actually speak? Who exactly are you, and why are you trying to steal my territory?"

The Ice Empress had only recently awakened from her slumber. She asked doubtfully, "Tian Meng, who is he?"

"Bingbing, when I turned myself into Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Ring, I encountered this fellow," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, beginning to recount what had happened.

A moment later, the Ice Empress's expression changed. "So he is an enemy trying to seize territory?"

"My name is Electrolux!" Electrolux let out a soft laugh. "Big Bug, Little Scorpion, your abilities are not bad. However, although this fragment of my divine consciousness is exceedingly weak, it stands at a higher level than yours. If you choose to fight me, it will undoubtedly be a losing proposition.

"Furthermore, I hold no grudge against either of you, nor do I wish to become your enemy."

As Electrolux spoke, he released a vast aura, allowing Tian Meng and the Ice Empress to sense his power.

Tian Meng stared at Electrolux in shock. "I can sense that the level of your Spiritual Power is much higher than mine. Though its quantity cannot compare with mine, in terms of quality, it completely surpasses me! Electrolux... Are you a god? Can you tell me what the God Realm is truly like?"

Even the Ice Empress looked at Electrolux in astonishment. In her eyes, though Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was useless in a fight, few beings in the world could compare with him in Spiritual Power cultivation. After all, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm possessed a million years of cultivation!

Therefore, this being calling himself Electrolux might truly be a god! But why had a fragment of a god's divine consciousness appeared here?

"A god? Strictly speaking, I am not a god of this world. As for what the God Realm is like... I have never been to such a place, so naturally I cannot answer your questions.

"Though I cannot remember some things clearly, I do recall my title: the Holy Necromancer, Undead Calamity!" Electrolux slowly said.

Upon hearing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's entire body shook.
