"What is Lin Mo doing?" Ice Empress couldn't help but ask.
Her gaze shifted to Shui Bing'er beside her, only to find that Shui Bing'er's eyes were also filled with confusion.
Ice Empress was completely baffled by Lin Mo's actions.
In her mind, Lin Mo was clearly a Fire-type Soul Master.
The rare and precious material of the Ice-type, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, should have been useless to him. In fact, absorbing it would have had a negative effect due to the conflicting attributes.
"Have no idea."
Shui Bing'er shook her head. "But since A-Mo did this, he must have his reasons."
"Tsk."
Ice Empress also shook their head and sighed softly, inwardly complaining.
This girl is hopeless; she's completely head over heels in love!
Shui Bing'er ignored Ice Empress's slightly disdainful look and turned her gaze back to Lin Mo.
At this moment, Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the spot.
Shui Bing'er had a general idea of just how immense the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow Shui Bing'er was, having absorbed it once before.
She wasn't worried about Lin Mo from the beginning, after all, Lin Mo never did anything without being sure of success, and Lin Mo also possessed Ice-type abilities.
For Lin Mo, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was merely icing on the cake.
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er unconsciously curled a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Ice Empress glanced at her, his speechless feeling intensifying.
The two people guarding Lin Mo seemed unaware of what Lin Mo was doing, but guessed it was of great importance, so they did not disturb him.
Lin Mo had no time to pay attention to the changes in the outside world. He began to focus all his energy on mobilizing the power of the Profound Ice Marrow he had absorbed earlier to help the Snow Empress reshape her body.
Time passed by, second by second.
Shui Bing'er and Ice Empress stood guard to the side, neither of them making a sound to disturb them.
Although Ice Empress was filled with confusion, she could also see that Lin Mo was doing something that absolutely could not be disturbed by anyone.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mo slowly stood up.
" A-Mo, are you done with your business?" Shui Bing'er hurriedly came over and asked.
She almost ran to Lin Mo, her eyes full of concern.
"All done."
Lin Mo nodded. "The absorption process of this Soul Ring went very smoothly, and I also obtained the Soul Skill I wanted."
As Lin Mo finished speaking, two Soul Ring, one red and one gold, reappeared beneath his feet.
Immediately following the lighting of the red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, an ice sword suddenly appeared in Lin Mo's hand.
Ice Empress's gaze was fixed on the ice sword in Lin Mo's hand. After a long silence, he suddenly spoke, "This is Xue'er's Ice Extreme Wushuang."
"Among the four Soul Skill Xue'er bestowed upon you, there should also be two other moves from the Snow Empress's Three Absolutes Techniques, right?"
She knew Snow Empress very well.
She was 100% certain that this was one of the Snow Empress's signature techniques, the Emperor Sword; Ice Extreme Wushuang.
Judging from its appearance alone, Lin Mo is exactly the same as the Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme Wushuang, that the Snow Empress used earlier.
Whether it's the length and width of the sword, or the extreme cold flowing through it, it's exactly the same as when the Snow Empress wielded it personally.
The only difference is that the person holding this sword now is Lin Mo, not Snow Empress.
Lin Mo nodded. "That's right, the two Soul Skill attached to the Soul Ring are Ice Extreme Wushuang and Great Cold Without Snow. The Soul Skill attached to the right leg bone are Snow Dance Shining Sun and Absolute Zero!"
The Ice Extreme Wushuang, with Great Cold Without Snow, Snow Dance Shining Sun, and the Absolute Zero.
Each of these four Soul Skill, taken individually, is enough to drive any Ice-type Soul Master crazy.
Now it's all his!
At this point, Lin Mo let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of satisfaction.
Having fused the Soul Ring and Soul Bone bestowed by the Snow Empress, and further enhanced by the Soul Bone granted by the Ice Dragon King, he is now considered unparalleled in the realm of Ice-type.
"Aren't you Fire-type Soul Master? How can you absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow? And you clearly absorbed so much Profound Ice Marrow."
But why is your cultivation level still at the state it was before you merged with Xue'er? I haven't sensed any breakthrough in your cultivation...
Ice Empress asked a series of questions rapidly.
She spoke very quickly, bombarding all the questions with a rapid-fire barrage.
Didn't I already say that?
I have two Martial Soul. The first Martial Soul is the Charizard you saw before. It is Fire-type, that's right.
My Second Martial Soul is the Body Martial Soul fused with the Snow Empress's Soul Ring, with its main attributes being Qi and Blood and Spirit.
It also has some other miscellaneous secondary attributes, one of which is Ice-type...
"As for the ice marrow I absorbed earlier, that stuff wasn't for me, but for the Snow Empress to use in reshaping her body..."
Before Lin Mo could finish speaking, Ice Empress's expression had completely changed.
"What did you say?!"
Before Lin Mo could finish speaking, Ice Empress impatiently interrupted him.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and even the hostility he had previously shown towards Lin Mo had almost completely disappeared.
"Let Snow Empress explain it to you herself."
Lin Mo shrugged, and the next moment, a light and beautiful figure emerged from Lin Mo's body.
The light initially appeared as a soft white glow, but it quickly coalesced into a human shape.
First the outline, then the details, and finally even the individual strands of hair and the Conversion of the clothes are clearly visible.
The entire process took only two or three breaths, yet it delivered an extremely stunning visual impact.
This figure was none other than the Snow Empress, who had just Sacrifice to Lin Mo!
The Snow Empress remained aloof and elegant, her white dress spotless, her long, silvery-white hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, her skin as white as snow, and her features exquisitely beautiful.
" Xue'er, you're not dead?!"
Ice Empress instinctively rushed to Snow Empress's side and threw herself into Snow Empress's arms.
The speed was extremely fast.
Shui Bing'er only caught a glimpse of a blur before Ice Empress was already clinging to Snow Empress.
This sudden joy after loss left Ice Empress at a loss for what to do.
Her hands were tightly wrapped around Snow Empress's waist, her face buried in the crook of Snow Empress's shoulder, her shoulders trembling slightly, and soft sobs escaping her throat.
Ice Empress is usually such a proud person. As one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, she has never shown such a loss of composure in front of outsiders before.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about any of that.
Snow Empress was clearly a little confused for a moment, but these questions could be asked later. The most important thing now was to calm Bing'er down.
Lin Mo glanced at the two women, then looked away and closed his eyes to carefully sense his current physical condition.
His cultivation level remains at Level 98 without any breakthrough.
It's not that they can't, but that they're unwilling.
With his current level of accumulation, breaking through to Level 99 would be a piece of cake.
Whether it's the immense energy from the Snow Empress's Sacrifice or the residual medicinal power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, as long as he's willing to release the suppression, he can instantly break through that Barrier.
The Snow Empress bestowed upon him an Ice-type Soul Ring Soul Ring, which was just as special as the Eighth Soul Ring he had absorbed last time, which represented the blood attribute.
The location of this Ice-type Soul Ring was not the First Soul Ring he had expected, but the Third Soul Ring.
This gave Lin Mo some ideas about the attributes of his other Soul Ring.
Earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, space.
These seven elements were what I felt after condensing my Second Soul Core, plus the blood energy and spirit that my Body Martial Soul possessed.
These nine attributes are most likely the attributes of the nine Soul Ring of the Body Martial Soul soul.
In Douluo Continent, water and ice are inseparable; the Water Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King actually refer to the same person.
As for the method to verify the attributes of the Soul Ring, it's very simple; he still has six God-Given Soul Ring that he hasn't used yet.
Once you've absorbed them all, you can determine their properties by sensing them.
As for why the Soul Ring of his own Body Martial Soul seemed to have been planned in advance?
He had already suspected this.
This is, of course, inextricably linked to another being who sent him here, who also possesses multi-elemental abilities!
You agree, right Arceus!
As for his remaining Ninth Soul Ring, Lin Mo had already made a plan: choose one from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Sea Princess, or the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator.
This is not only for the Ninth Soul Ring with the Mental Attribute, but also for the Head Soul Bone.
However, compared to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which is now certain to have fallen into the hands of the Star Dou Ferocious Beast, Lin Mo prefers the latter two.
Soul Ring place more emphasis on their age, while Soul Bone place more emphasis on their quality.
The Sea Princess is one of the top Soul Beast races in the ocean. Her cultivation of over 600,000 years is enough to make the quality of her Soul Ring and Soul Bone reach an extremely high level.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator is a notorious Ferocious Beast on the continent, with over 700,000 years of cultivation. Both its Soul Ring and Soul Bone are absolutely top-tier.
Moreover, the current cultivation level of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is only 990,000 years, far from reaching the million-year cultivation level it will reach in 10,000 years.
This is especially crucial.
990,000 years and 1 million years may seem like only 10,000 years apart, but in reality, the difference between the two is enormous.
More importantly, if Lin Mo remembered correctly, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's essence had already been severely damaged because it had been used as a Charge bank by the Star Dou Ferocious Beast for so long.
When it used the Wisdom Soul Ring Technique to fuse itself with Huo Yuhao, it only gave Huo Yuhao a Million-Year Soul Ring with four Soul Skill, but did not give him Soul Bone.
This means that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's essence has been depleted to the point that it can no longer even condense Soul Bone.
For Lin Mo, a Soul Beast that couldn't even drop Soul Bone was worth only half its original value.
Not to mention that in terms of bloodline quality, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is simply incomparable to the Sea Princess and the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator.
In terms of bloodline, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is nothing more than a mutated Ice Silkworm, and its bloodline limit is limited.
It is in no way comparable to the Sea Princess or the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator; the latter two completely overwhelm the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in terms of bloodline quality.
How can a 990,000-year-old Ice Silkworm, whose strength is greatly diminished and who is unlikely to be able to produce Soul Bone, be compared to the Sea Princess with over 600,000 years of cultivation and the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator with over 700,000 years of cultivation?
The method for choosing the Ninth Soul Ring couldn't be clearer.
As for the last missing Soul Bone, which is also the most important Torso Soul Bone, it is highly likely that he will not be able to find the one he is looking for on the Douluo Continent.
The Torso Soul Bone is the most crucial of all Soul Bone, and it is also the most important for enhancing Soul Master's strength!
Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a sense of loss.
Although there are many Soul Beast on the continent, very few can catch his eye.
He could easily hunt down ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but the quality of the Torso Soul Bone dropped by those Soul Beast simply didn't meet his requirements.
Even the Torso Soul Bone obtained from killing the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian still fell short in Lin Mo's eyes.
Di Tian's cultivation level ultimately failed to break through a million years.
With over 800,000 years of cultivation, he was indeed a top-tier existence on the entire Douluo Continent. Apart from the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, almost no other Soul Beast could contend with him.
But for Lin Mo, Soul Bone that was over 800,000 years old was still a level below.
He wants the best, not the second best.
Instead of targeting Di Tian, it would be better to focus on the Golden Dragon King in the Divine Realm and the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone in Dragon Valley.
The Golden Dragon King's strength is beyond doubt; he is one of the top beings even in the Divine Realm.
The Torso Soul Bone formed from the physique of the Golden Dragon King is of a quality far surpassing any other Soul Bone on the continent.
As the Mountain Dragon King possesses the strongest defense among dragons, its Torso Bone are also priceless.
What Lin Mo cannot be certain of right now is whether the Dragon Valley Small Plane, which drifted to the vicinity of Douluo Star 20,000 years later, is currently near Douluo Star.
This problem was indeed giving Lin Mo a headache. Dragon Valley Small Plane was a small dimension independent of the Douluo Continent, where countless dragon corpses were buried, making it a kind of Dragon Clan Graveyard.
If this plane is already near Douluo Star, then things will be much easier; he can enter Dragon Valley in advance to find the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Bone.
If he wasn't there, then he could only turn his attention to the Golden Dragon King in the Divine Realm.
The Torso Soul Bone were forged using the power of the Golden Dragon King, and their quality is likely even superior to that of the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone!
The only problem is that hunting the Golden Dragon King in the Divine Realm is extremely difficult, and it can only be done slowly and deliberately.
Fortunately, Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry.
One must eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. It's not too late to deal with the things in front of you first, and then consider matters of the Divine Realm.
Soon, Ice Empress's soft sobs brought Lin Mo back to reality. "You big jerk, how did you do that? You've become a god now?"
Ice Empress lifted her head from Snow Empress's embrace, her icy blue eyes still brimming with tears, looking exceptionally pitiful.
But her tone had already regained some of her usual haughty air.
Without hesitation, Ice Empress asked the question that had been bothering them.
In her perception, Lin Mo's cultivation level was still at that level, but his ability to revive the Snow Empress at will was clearly something only a god could do.
This made her wonder if Lin Mo had secretly broken through to a higher level, but she couldn't sense it because of the difference in their cultivation levels.
Upon hearing the term "Ice Empress" used to address him, Lin Mo's lips twitched. What the hell? This way of addressing him by Ice Empress is getting more and more outrageous.
Ignoring the Ice Empress, Lin Mo said, "I haven't become a god yet; my current cultivation level is still Level 98!"
After saying this, Lin Mo stirred up his own Soul Power aura, allowing Ice Empress to clearly sense it.
"How is this possible?"
Ice Empress's eyes widened in shock. "After accepting all the power that Xue'er Sacrifice for you, you're still stuck at Level 98!"
She knew all too well how powerful the Snow Empress was; she was a super Ferocious Beast that had existed for seven hundred thousand years.
But after Lin Mo absorbed all of Snow Empress's power, his cultivation level remained at Level 98, which completely defied Ice Empress's understanding.
"He's stuck at a certain level..." Shui Bing'er said Youyou, a hint of envy in her eyes as she looked at Lin Mo.
"After A-Mo has absorbed all nine Soul Ring of his Body Martial Soul and condensed his three Soul Core, he'll probably only then plan to break through to Level 99..."
For ordinary people, breakthroughs in cultivation are opportunities and insights that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought.
But for Lin Mo, actively suppressing his Soul Power Level had become the norm.
He suppressed his level once at level 80-something, then again at Level 89, and now that his cultivation has directly broken through to Level 98, he's started suppressing his level again.
Shui Bing'er was extremely suspicious. After Lin Mo's cultivation level rebounded from rock bottom this time, his Soul Power Level might directly break through the human limit and become a god at level 100!
Lin Mo smiled, ignoring the stares of the crowd. "I have not become a god, but no one has ever said that reviving a soul requires a god."
I suppose I took a shortcut, using the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to reshape the Snow Empress's body into this form.
However, Snow Empress cannot be considered a true resurrection at present; at most, she can only be described as a sentient Wisdom Soul Ring with a body.
She cannot survive independently without me as her host!
His tone remained calm, but his words instantly froze Ice Empress's expression.
"What did you say?"
Ice Empress instinctively retorted, looking up at Lin Mo, then her gaze swept back and forth between Lin Mo and Snow Empress, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Didn't Snow Empress come back to life?
He was standing right in front of her, warm and tangible—how could he not be a true resurrection?
The joy of regaining what was lost vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of emptiness.
Snow Empress nodded helplessly to Ice Empress. From the moment she was revived, she had already clearly sensed her current state.
However, she is extremely satisfied with her current state.
This is the best outcome for her.
The Snow Empress knew very well that if Lin Mo hadn't used the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to reshape her body, her fate after the Sacrifice would have been to completely dissipate into the world.
It can only be truly revived after Lin Mo becomes a god.
Although she can no longer survive independently of Lin Mo, at least she has retained her own consciousness...
The fact that it can continue to exist and continue to protect Bing'er and the Far North is already the best possible outcome.
However, Ice Empress did not think that way at the time.
The feeling of being bullied suddenly returned to her.
Moreover, because of the previous loss and subsequent recovery, the feeling of being "nt" (a derogatory term for someone who is perceived as incompetent) was even stronger.
It's over, Xue'er has been taken away after all...
Ice Empress looked utterly dejected, as if the sky had fallen.
