Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill

"Someone has entered the temple." Huo Yun's voice rang in Di Tian's ears, answering his question.

"What did you say?" Di Tian was startled. Someone had gone inside? How was that possible? Wasn't the Snow Empress the only person on the entire continent who met the requirements?

"I investigated her. Her original name was Su Tong, and her Martial Soul was originally called Snow Spirit. It had the potential to grow into a Heavenly Snow Woman with ultimate ice. She disappeared a year and a half ago, right when we were dealing with the Ice God's Divine Seat. When she reappeared, she had changed her name to Bing'er and become the adopted daughter of Bo Yunjie, the current head of the Sea God Family. Her Martial Soul had also awakened into the Heavenly Snow Woman," Huo Yun said. She had immediately gone to investigate when the other party entered.

As for Su Tong, Huo Yun actually wasn't very familiar with her. She was only a minor character who appeared late in the original story, which was why Huo Yun hadn't thought of her at first. Her appearance had delivered quite a surprise to Huo Yun.

This time, it was Huo Yun's own carelessness. With her god's-eye view, she should have been able to find Su Tong easily. But because the later plot of the original story really wasn't very good, she only remembered the first half clearly. Her memories of the latter half were hazy, and she had even forgotten this wielder of an ultimate ice Martial Soul.

And forgetting her was one thing, but she hadn't even used her authority to investigate. What a careless mistake.

Of course, even an ultimate ice Martial Soul like the Heavenly Snow Woman theoretically still fell short of the standard for godhood. But what could be done? Tang San was now behind her, pushing her forward with his mighty hand. That made it another matter entirely.

"What do we do next?" Di Tian asked. He knew Tang San had already made his move. Others might not be able to accept the Divine Seat now, especially a three-ring Soul Master. Never mind touching it-even coming into contact with it might freeze them into fragments. But they couldn't rule out Tang San having a way to win the Ice God's Divine Seat's favor for her.

"There's no other option. The only two on our side who can enter are Yuhao and the Snow Empress. We can only send them inside to stop her," Huo Yun said.

Soul Beasts couldn't enter the temple, and the reason was simple: Soul Beasts couldn't become gods. As long as that rule remained, even if a Divine Seat was placed before them, they couldn't use it.

Ultimately, the Ice God's Divine Seat still belonged to the Divine Realm.

"Then I'll go find the Snow Empress." Di Tian acted with the swiftness of thunder and the force of the wind, immediately setting out to find the Snow Empress and the others.

"She's on the mountain where the Ice Empress usually stays. The Ice Empress has told her what happened." Huo Yun casually gave him the Snow Empress's current location.

The mountain in question was actually a thousand-meter-high peak on the outskirts of the plain. Its summit offered an excellent view of the entire plain and even everything within the basin.

Di Tian brought Huo Yuhao straight there. As soon as they reached the summit, they saw a woman with twin ponytails wearing a long green dress. Beside her was a girl who looked about the same age as her, only seven or eight years old.

Yet amid this world of ice and snow, that girl wore only a white dress, her bare feet resting on the snow, her bare feet resting on the snow. She had beautiful white hair like ice crystals and an exquisitely beautiful face. Merely standing there, she looked like a painting.

The entire world seemed to brighten because of her presence. She was like the darling of this stretch of heaven and earth.

"You're here, Di Tian. Is that child beside you human?" Seeing Di Tian arrive, the woman in the emerald-green dress greeted him first.

Then the girl with the exquisitely beautiful face turned and nodded lightly to Di Tian, her gaze likewise falling on Huo Yuhao.

"This is Huo Yuhao, the child of destiny chosen by that one. Yuhao, these two are the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, the ruler of the Far North and the chief of the Ice Jade Scorpions," Di Tian introduced them.

"Hello, Senior Ice Empress, Senior Snow Empress." Huo Yuhao bowed to them both. He had also heard of their illustrious reputations.

After all, they were members of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, one ranked third on the Ferocious Beast rankings and the other seventh. Their names carried far and wide throughout the Soul Master World.

"The child of destiny? Come to think of it, why is there a familiar aura about you?" The Ice Empress studied Huo Yuhao curiously.

"Of course it's familiar. It's me, Bingbing." A streak of white light emerged from Huo Yuhao's body, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared before the four of them.

"Tian Meng. I was wondering why it felt so familiar. You worm, you're still alive?" The Ice Empress clearly knew the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and his sudden appearance even gave her a fright.

"Oh, Bingbing, you haven't died yet, so why can't I still be alive? Do you remember what I said back then? If I survived, one day I would become your mate." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was incredibly tender, even a little sweet. It gave Huo Yuhao goosebumps all over.

"Tian Meng, you're courting death!" The Ice Empress flew into a rage. Boundless killing intent erupted from her, even turning the sky emerald green.

An immense pressure descended upon the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, but he seemed completely unaffected and continued with a grin, "No, I mean every word. I've lived for a million years, and I spent most of those million years asleep. In the depths of my heart, you're the only one who left a mark, the only one who made my heart race beyond my control."

"Stop. Don't say another word. I'm about to throw up. You actually fell in love with your natural predator as her food? You really do have wild tastes." Di Tian truly couldn't bear to listen anymore. He was genuinely beginning to regret not simply crushing and eating this worm back then. Now he had instead come running over to disgust him.

"A million years. Judging by your appearance, you must be an Ice Silkworm. You were truly lucky to live that long." The Snow Empress was still turning over the million years the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had mentioned. From his appearance, she could easily identify his species as an Ice Silkworm, a Soul Beast native to the Far North. But Soul Beasts of that species were treated as food in the Far North.

For such an exceedingly lowly species to survive a million years was a miracle.

"Not at all." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grinned, unbothered by the Snow Empress's teasing.

"Aren't you getting off topic? Have you forgotten what we're supposed to be doing?" Huo Yun was rather speechless. At a time like this, they were still chatting.

"Right. From what we currently know, she was brought here by the person who attacked the Far North last time. In other words, this is a move prepared by that god you mentioned. No one else can enter at present, only me. I intend to go inside and stop her." Returning to the matter at hand, the Snow Empress explained her plan.

"Besides you, Yuhao can also enter," Huo Yun added.

"As the unprecedented million-year Soul Beast of the Douluo Continent, I gave Yuhao an ice Martial Soul without a soul. Originally, I wanted to reserve that Martial Soul's place for Bingbing. As long as Bingbing took possession of these Martial Souls, not only would Yuhao gain the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, an ultimate Martial Soul, but Bingbing could also enter Yuhao's body and gain eternal life once he became a god. That way, we could stay together forever," the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm added, also revealing his original plan.

Although what he had prepared might not compare to the two Martial Souls Huo Yun had prepared for Huo Yuhao, the Ice Dragon King and the Ice God, it was still among the very finest of the ultimate Martial Souls so rarely seen in this world.

"Oh, please. Who wants to stay with a worm like you forever?" The Ice Empress snorted coldly. Becoming a god and gaining eternal life was indeed very tempting to her, but the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words truly disgusted her.

"An ice Martial Soul without a soul? Then its ice attribute should be the weakest of all Martial Souls. Never mind whether he can enter-he won't even withstand the surrounding cold currents. Before long, he'll turn into an ice sculpture." Unaffected by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, the Snow Empress seized on the key issue.

"Don't worry about that. Yuhao knows Martial Soul Fusion Skills. He can use one to increase his resistance to the ice attribute. Besides, the surrounding cold currents are actually cold energy released by the laws of the Ice God's Divine Seat to screen candidates. After using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Yuhao's ice Martial Soul should meet the requirements.

"Moreover, Yuhao has at least three powers of law within him-destiny, light, and death-holding the fort. The cold currents won't freeze him," Huo Yun said. Without preparations, how could she possibly let Huo Yuhao come here to die?

"Huh? Mom, since when did I have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Huo Yuhao, the person in question, was genuinely bewildered. Since when did he have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill was a skill jointly activated by two Soul Masters whose Martial Souls were extraordinarily compatible. Its power far exceeded any Soul Skill of the same level; they could be said to exist on entirely different tiers. Only an extremely small number of Soul Masters could perform Martial Soul Fusion Skills-one in ten thousand, so to speak.

Moreover, the power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would increase along with the Soul Masters' strength.

"You do have one. In fact, theoretically, you don't have just one Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but many. Your Martial Soul Origin, Spirit Eyes-although you've kept calling your Martial Soul Spirit Eyes, it has actually already evolved and changed its name.

"As the core bearing the Eye of Destiny, it is itself a divine Martial Soul. Ever since its awakening, you've had the ability to fuse it with other Martial Souls to form Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

"You can also work with others and use dual cultivation to increase your cultivation speed. As your Martial Soul grows more familiar with theirs-that is, the longer you cultivate together-the coordination of your Martial Soul Fusion Skills will improve.

"Your ice Martial Soul has already spent over a year alongside it in your body. They've long since grown accustomed to each other, so they can definitely achieve a one-hundred-percent Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"If your Martial Soul undergoes a Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening, you'll even be able to improve other people's Martial Soul quality by cultivating with them," Huo Yun explained.

At this moment, he remembered that Tang San had originally used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between his own daughter and Huo Yuhao to improve their coordination, making it an even stronger chain to bind Huo Yuhao.

That was why Huo Yun had laid the groundwork in this area from the beginning, giving Huo Yuhao the ability to perform Martial Soul Fusion Skills with any Martial Soul.

When the time came, she would see how Tang San could still bind him.

The news left Huo Yuhao utterly dumbfounded. This was the first time he had learned that his Martial Soul possessed such an ability.

"In that case, let's move quickly. With two of us, we can look out for each other." The Snow Empress absorbed this information very quickly. She could tell from Huo Yun's attitude that she genuinely cared about Huo Yuhao. Since she said Huo Yuhao had that ability, it would be safer for them to enter together.

"All right." Coming back to his senses, Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's go." The Ice Empress acted the moment she spoke, taking the Snow Empress toward the distant basin.

Di Tian followed close behind, bringing Huo Yuhao along.

Over a thousand people had already gathered at the basin's edge. They came from various sects and schools across the continent, and there were even representatives of the four great empires: Sun Moon, Star Luo Empire, Heavenly Soul, and Dou Spirit. Even Shrek Academy had people stationed here.

They seemed to have gathered in one place, but their positions made it easy to distinguish the different small groups among them. Some clustered together, while others stood alone in the distance.

The reason they stood only on one side was that several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had gathered on the other. Some sat on the ground, while others lay prone, but all of them stared fixedly at the surrounding humans.

The Ice Empress had sent them to watch the humans here, lest any use attempts to approach the Divine Seat as a pretext while secretly attacking the Soul Beasts of their Far North.

Over the past year, incidents like that had happened countless times.

One had even thrown the Soul Beasts of the entire Far North into turmoil, nearly driving them to overturn the human encampment.

In short, although the Divine Seat had attracted countless people's attention, some felt they had no hope of obtaining it and chose to secretly profit from the chaos.

By agreement, the safety boundary established between Soul Beasts and humans extended only across this plain. Once they left the plain, life and death were no longer anyone's concern.

Humans and Soul Beasts had also divided their respective territories by an unwritten agreement: half belonged to humans and half to Soul Beasts. Humans wouldn't approach the Soul Beasts' territory, so everyone gathered on the other side. Staying somewhat close together made them feel safer.

Everyone present had their attention fixed on the white light within the basin, though some kept watching their surroundings and noticed the approaching Ice Empress.

"The Ice Empress is here. Who's that little girl beside her?"

"Judging by her appearance, she looks like a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that has undergone Soul Beast Transformation. She has a Soul Beast's aura."

"She's so beautiful, but so cold, too. Like a born snow woman."

"A snow woman? Could she be the Snow Empress?"

"How could that be? The Snow Empress is a six-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast. Soul Beasts can't transform after passing a hundred thousand years."

"Di Tian is here too. Is the child beside him also a transformed Soul Beast?"

"I don't sense a Soul Beast's aura from him. Is he human?"

"No idea. The mask on his face seems to be made from a Phantom Morphing Demon Tree. And judging by it, that Phantom Morphing Demon Tree wasn't weak. I can't detect his true aura or cultivation at all."
