When the last glimmer of light entered Beiming Lieyang's body, a fifth Spirit Ring appeared around him.
Brilliant crimson light, unique to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, rippled outward in circles beneath his feet.
"She really sacrificed herself." The Ice Empress smacked her lips, still finding it hard to believe.
Most Soul Beasts were proud. Even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts might not be willing to submit to humans, let alone Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
Some would rather kill themselves than let humans obtain their Spirit Rings.
Yet that rabbit had been persuaded to willingly sacrifice herself with just a few words?
"It was also because Xiaoyang seized upon her desire to avenge her mother that he was able to make her complete the sacrifice."
Looking at the red Spirit Ring, the Snow Empress's tone carried a strange undertone.
Over the past few days, Xiaoyang had said that this rabbit had entered the human world to rebuild her cultivation.
She claimed it was to integrate into human society and find the enemy who had killed her mother.
But according to Xiaoyang, after meeting someone, she had run off to fall in love and stir up trouble, completely forgetting her mother's murder.
Although Xiaoyang always seemed able to predict these things in advance, they had grown used to it.
It was probably divine guidance again.
Still, the rabbit had at least retained the thought of avenging her mother, which was why she had been willing to sacrifice herself.
Beiming Lieyang's aura surged wildly. Soul Power washed through his body, with part of it flowing into his External Soul Bone as usual.
51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56.
As Beiming Lieyang gained more Spirit Rings, his own Soul Power capacity increased. Combined with his ultimate attribute, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could only raise him six levels at level 50.
"Level 56 already. You're growing so fast." The Ice Empress stepped closer, rose onto her tiptoes, and reached out to pat Beiming Lieyang's head, but then puffed out her cheeks.
After absorbing another Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, he had grown taller again.
Seeing her sulky expression, Beiming Lieyang smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist, lifting her a little higher. "Auntie Bing, is this high enough?"
"Fine, you little brat!" The Ice Empress glared at him, pinching and kneading his cheeks with both hands. "You think your little aunt is short, huh?"
"No. Being small is very cute."
"!!"
The Ice Empress puffed out her cheeks and viciously pinched his face.
Beside them, the Snow Empress reached out to stop her. "Bing'er, you can't bully Xiaoyang."
"Damn it, Xue'er, who's bullying whom? You're always playing favorites!"
The Ice Empress glared at the Snow Empress irritably. "It's like this every time."
"But Bing'er, you're the one bullying Xiaoyang every time."
The Ice Empress rolled her eyes. "So now that you have this little brat, Xue'er doesn't like me anymore."
At that, the Snow Empress's lips curved slightly, but she did not respond.
"Little brat, what Spirit Ability did you get?" The Ice Empress changed the subject.
Beiming Lieyang smoothed down the hair she had messed up. "Mysterious Ice Mark: the purity and hardness of Void Mysterious Ice energy, as well as my Soul Power reserves, increase by 300%.
I can use Void Mysterious Ice to leave Mysterious Ice Marks, allowing me to instantly teleport to a marked location regardless of distance. The farther the teleportation distance, the more Soul Power it consumes.
Void: immune to all physical attacks and reduces damage from energy attacks by 50%.
The Soft Bone Rabbit Left Leg Bone comes with Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body.
Teleportation: can be used within a range of one hundred meters. The farther the distance, the greater the consumption.
For every ten levels my Soul Power rises, the teleportation range doubles.
Invincible Golden Body grants an invincible state below god-level for three seconds, immune to all damage and control effects. At the same time, strength doubles. For every ten levels my Soul Power rises, the invincibility duration increases by one second."
The Ice Empress stared wide-eyed. "A Hundred-Thousand-Year rabbit actually has so many absurd Spirit Abilities? Invincible Golden Body, Teleportation, and Void? Why don't I have Spirit Abilities that broken?"
The Snow Empress nodded as well. "The Soft Bone Rabbit is originally one of the most ordinary Soul Beasts, yet it can develop so many powerful Spirit Abilities. That's simply ridiculous."
"It can't be helped. This rabbit is just that overpowered, which is why I wanted her to sacrifice herself." Beiming Lieyang spread his hands.
"Still, the new Spirit Ability formed in combination with Void Mysterious Ice is even more interesting. If you place Void Mysterious Ice to the east, west, south, and north, you can teleport freely between those locations."
The Ice Empress suddenly became excited. "If we place one piece of Void Mysterious Ice in the Far North and another here, can we teleport directly there?"
The Snow Empress also revealed a curious expression. Beiming Lieyang shook his head.
"Auntie Bing, the Far North is too far from here. I can't teleport that far yet. I have to be able to sense the mark within my spiritual power range to use it."
"But what if the underground of the entire continent were buried with my Void Mysterious Ice?"
Beiming Lieyang grinned. "Then I could teleport infinitely across the Douluo Continent."
He could also control whether his Void Mysterious Ice granted others enhancements.
If he did not agree, then even if others obtained it, it would merely be a hard piece of ice.
Eat it?
That would be even better. They could just wait to be controlled by him.
Moreover, consuming it would make them addicted to it.
Of course, he had not used this ability on those close to him, and he could even remove the effect.
He only gave them enhancements.
He would not have such concerns with outsiders.
Of course, the Ice Empress was simply too greedy.
Even though Beiming Lieyang had deliberately suppressed its addictive effect, it still could not overcome her craving for food.
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress exchanged glances, and their eyes lit up at the same time.
Ultra-long-distance teleportation was simply too terrifying.
"As expected, it's absurd." The Ice Empress sighed.
"Now that we have the Spirit Ring, it's time to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Yeah, let's go, let's go!"
The Ice Empress pushed Beiming Lieyang along. Watching the two of them, the Snow Empress revealed a gentle smile.
Bing'er was becoming more and more like a child now.
Deep within the Soul Hunting Forest, Tang San, who had been absorbing the Datura Snake Spirit Ring, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Pfft!"
His entire body shook, and he spat out a mouthful of blood that splattered across the dirt before him.
"Where is this...?!"
Tang San, whose consciousness had returned, looked around in confusion. One moment ago, he had been swallowed by Spacetime Turbulence in the God Realm. The next, he had appeared in this forest.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
They were too small. His fingers were thin, and his palms bore light calluses from years of labor.
This was the body of a six-year-old.
He suddenly turned his head, sweeping his gaze across the surroundings before it settled on a figure lying on the ground.
A gray-white robe, a thin frame, and a face dark with poison. The man's lips were cracked and dry.
"Gang... Gangzi?"
Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San stared at that face as countless distant fragments surfaced in his mind.
"...I really was reborn. And this is... the moment I absorbed the Datura Snake Spirit Ring."
He clearly remembered being swallowed by Spacetime Turbulence in the God Realm, his consciousness torn into countless fragments, only to be dragged back by some force during his final moment of clarity.
"I returned tens of thousands of years into the past? Could it be that I did not perish completely, and my soul was merely swept back to the starting point, landing in this body?"
The corners of his mouth lifted, carrying a mixture of self-mockery and relief.
"Back then, I was able to travel to the Douluo Continent after dying in the Tang Sect. Now, after being caught in Spacetime Turbulence, I can be reborn tens of thousands of years in the past... It seems I haven't lost my ability to turn disaster into fortune."
Just as he tried to recall more details, a feeble voice came from beside him.
"Little... Little San... did you... did you successfully absorb your First Spirit Ring?"
Tang San looked down.
Yu Xiaogang was struggling to lift his eyelids, his voice full of concern.
Three days ago, he had been tortured by those three Rose Boy Band bastards. Even after summoning Luo Sanpao, they had caught it.
And because it was an External Beast Martial Soul, the damage feedback was returned to him as well.
Especially that black-haired, two-meter-tall brute. His stamina was simply inexhaustible.
How much suffering had he endured over the past few days?
For the last two days, he had been utterly dispirited.
His pants had been bleeding the entire time.
Fortunately, when Heaven closed one door for him, it opened another window.
He had found a disciple with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.
He could make Tang San his test subject and verify his theories.
He would let those fools know that his theories were invincible.
He would eventually cultivate a powerful Title Douluo.
He would destroy the Rose Boy Band at any cost!
