As the power of the diamond ice crystals on the tail, beautiful as a work of art, gradually surged forth, a layer of emerald green enveloped Huo Yuhao from head to toe.
When the light faded, the armor-like protrusions unique to the Ice Empress covered Huo Yuhao's entire body.
And now, Huo Yuhao could sense that he seemingly needed only a thought to transform his hands.
His fists briefly transformed into foreclaws.
This was the Ice Empress Armor, one of the Soul Skills the External Soul Bone had bestowed upon Huo Yuhao.
He could also sense that after using the Soul Skill, the power of his next ice-attribute Soul Skill would double.
The other Soul Skill it granted Huo Yuhao was Ice Emperor's Wrath.
These were precisely what the Ice Empress's four-hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone had brought Huo Yuhao.
He could also sense that he could control the hooked tail to attack.
It was indeed quite an unexpected move.
Afterward, when he looked at his Ice Master Martial Soul, he saw that it currently had only one ice-blue, pale-gold Soul Ring.
He could sense that a large portion of its power was still seemingly sealed.
At least nearly four Soul Rings were currently sealed away.
Three came from the Ice Empress's Soul Spirit. After all, the Ice Empress had contributed only a small portion of the million years of power within it.
As for the fourth, if he had to say, Huo Yuhao could sense that it contained that portion of the Snow Empress's special origin, fused with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus. Of course, it was not a Soul Spirit, but a special Soul Ring.
Its color was almost easy to determine: if it was not red, it should be orange-gold.
As for the Million-Year Soul Ring formed by the fusion of the Snow Empress, Tian Meng, and the Ice Empress, its first Soul Skill combined the power of the Ice and Snow Empresses.
That was right, it was none other than Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors!
Its effect needed no further explanation: the most extreme chill, combining the power of the Ice and Snow Empresses, descended!
The second Soul Skill, meanwhile, was a domain-type skill.
Eternal Frost Domain, compared with the so-called domain combination skill his original self had once possessed.
Eternal Frost Domain's ice attribute was more overbearing, and when deployed, it also had an absolutely overbearing effect.
Frost Seal!
The moment the domain spread out, the Soul Power circulation speed of Soul Masters within it was forcibly reduced by fifty percent.
Slower Soul Power circulation might not seem like much, but in a real burst of power, the speed at which one's Soul Power circulated directly determined the power of a Soul Skill.
This debuff was essentially inflicted on the opponent the instant the domain spread out.
The opponent could forcibly break through it with Soul Power, but the process would not only consume a great deal, it could even throw the Soul Power within their body into disarray.
Crucially, it did not target just one person; everyone within his domain would be afflicted.
It was just that this Million-Year Soul Ring the Snow Empress had brought him...
Seemingly had only two Soul Skills left, or perhaps, although its quality had reached that level, it had not truly crossed that threshold.
But compared with the ones Tian Meng had brought him, these two Soul Skills were already extremely overbearing.
And as for the special torso bone formed by the fusion of that million years of power...
Its first Soul Skill was Instant Absolute of the Ice and Snow Emperors.
That was right, as its name implied, the Ice and Snow Empresses' fusion beast could reach absolute zero in an instant.
Absolute zero, after all, was known as a divine skill.
His original self had even had to reach Limit Douluo before he could fully master and use it.
Although he could use it now, it seemingly lasted only an instant.
This was different from the double seal: within that absolute zero, what was sealed-or rather, bound-was not just Soul Skills, but also Soul Power and spiritual power, even time itself.
Huo Yuhao was naturally quite satisfied with such an overbearing Soul Skill.
The second Soul Skill was Frost Seal - Unrivaled Emperor Sword!
To be precise, it combined the Snow Empress's Emperor Sword with the Ice Empress's power, unleashing them in a direct burst while forcibly freezing the opponent the moment it was used.
Once the opponent was frozen, the subsequent damage from Emperor Sword would increase by another thirty percent.
It was an explosive Soul Skill with a powerful binding effect.
Huo Yuhao was not particularly surprised, though. He had originally thought that, just like Tian Meng, each of them would give him four Soul Skills.
In the end, the grade of his Martial Soul had risen, but the number of Soul Skills it provided had not changed.
Just then, the Snow Empress's soft voice sounded by his ear.
"Yuhao, there's one more Soul Skill. It probably won't fully manifest until the origins have fused."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat pleasantly surprised to hear this. After all, though this was a Million-Year Soul Ring, if the result was only four Soul Skills including those from the Soul Bone, that would hardly befit its status.
Just how powerful was this third Soul Skill that could be sealed? Huo Yuhao was curious, but he also knew that, in his current state, he probably could not obtain it for the time being.
So he did not insist on pondering the matter.
Instead, after letting out a sigh, he looked at his current situation.
For now, he needed to start considering what direction to take for his fourth Soul Ring.
His Soul Power had now reached level forty-three.
His Ice Master Martial Soul even had a Soul Ring stored in advance.
As for the direction of his Double Pupils Martial Soul's fourth Soul Skill...
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate in the slightest. After a brief discussion with Electrolux, he left the place and headed straight for the Sun Moon Empire.
That was right, Huo Yuhao's target for his fourth Soul Ring was an Evil Eye Tyrant.
This time, however, the Evil Eye Tyrant he would hunt naturally could not be a hundred-thousand-year one; it would be around fifty thousand years old.
His third Soul Ring had already been over thirty thousand years old at the time.
The limit his body could withstand had long since surpassed that of his original self, so naturally, his fourth Soul Ring had to start at fifty thousand years.
Before long, Electrolux's search located a creature that happened to meet Huo Yuhao's requirements.
Black mist churned, and an enormous Evil Eye Tyrant slowly emerged.
An inky-black giant eye sixty meters across floated in midair. Twenty-four purple-black tentacles, each a hundred meters long, waved in every direction. Countless small secondary eyes on their surfaces blinked incessantly, while scarlet veins covered the white of the giant eye. Dark-purple spiritual light churned within its deep black pupil.
An icy spiritual pressure spread out, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, and even the surrounding air rippled and warped.
This left Huo Yuhao with only the thought that, of the Evil Eye Tyrants, only those with dark-purple coloring were truly pure spiritual types; otherwise, they would have some useless attribute attached, such as flames or the like.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was satisfied, Electrolux raised a hand and used a spell of spatial magic to seize the Evil Eye Tyrant, then headed straight out.
The reason he did not act directly was that, given Electrolux's own strength, if he appeared here and drew the Evil Emperor's attention, that would be trouble. Finding a suitable Soul Beast and carrying it away without stirring up trouble was the best option.
After Huo Yuhao decisively killed it and began absorbing his fourth Soul Ring, he had not expected that the ring would give him a surprise in an indirect way.
