Long Xiaoyao frowned. "The North Pole Land? Aren't all the soul beasts there Ice Attribute? Are you sure they suit Qin Fang's Undead Department? Hmm? Could it be that you want to add a First Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul? But the attributes still wouldn't match."

Ye Xishui's gaze was profound as she said, "It truly isn't very suitable, but this is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Embryo Soul Beast. At the very least, it can produce a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. That would definitely make up for this tiny bit of incompatibility."

Long Xiaoyao nodded. Indeed, even if it was incompatible, it would not be a major issue.

However, he still worriedly asked, "Xi Shui, are you sure this will succeed? Adding a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as the Third Soul Ring—isn't that too risky? Given Qin Fang's current physical condition, he might not be able to endure it."

Ye Xishui fell silent before saying, "That depends on Qin Fang's fate. An embryo is already the easiest type of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to absorb. At the latest, I'll bring back the God Sealing Platform the day after tomorrow."

Three days later.

Although Ye Xishui had brought back the God Sealing Platform, she looked dejected and sighed repeatedly.

Seeing her expression, Long Xiaoyao could not help asking, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xishui said, "This Hundred-Thousand-Year embryo seems rather useless. After carefully examining it, I found that only a soul master with Ultimate Ice can absorb it. If any other soul master tries, they may die in an instant."

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao looked at Qin Fang, who was practicing the Dragon Phoenix Hammer Technique. "Looks like this kid doesn't have that kind of fortune."

Ye Xishui looked at Qin Fang, then at Long Xiaoyao, and finally at the God Sealing Platform. Boldly, she said, "Xiaoyao, do you think we could infuse this embryo with the Undead Attribute?"

Even Long Xiaoyao, also a Limit Douluo, was startled by Ye Xishui's wild and bizarre idea.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Ultimate Ice embryo infused with the Undead Attribute? This seemed far beyond his understanding. Wasn't this something only a god could accomplish?

Long Xiaoyao could not help asking, "Do you have a specific plan?"

Ye Xishui thought for a moment. "I only have the rough outline of an idea. Whether it can succeed will require research and analysis."

Looking at Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao asked, "Then what about Qin Fang's Third Soul Ring? Are we supposed to make him keep waiting?"

Ye Xishui said, "Let's help him obtain his Third Soul Ring first. The power within this God Sealing Platform is too violent. With his current physical condition, he may not be able to absorb it."

Long Xiaoyao nodded. "Then I'll take him to the Evil Demon Forest and try our luck. Let's see whether we can find a Death Spirit Soul Beast around thirty thousand years old."

Ye Xishui shook her head. "No. It has to be at least a forty-thousand-year Death Spirit Soul Beast. This kid's Undead Skeleton Martial Soul can withstand it."

Long Xiaoyao understood Ye Xishui's intentions. She wanted Qin Fang to break through his limits.

Ye Xishui began studying the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo within the God Sealing Platform, writing and drawing as she drafted at least seven or eight possible plans.

Long Xiaoyao looked at Qin Fang and sighed. "You little brat, you really are fortunate."

The next day, Qin Fang left with Long Xiaoyao.

Qin Fang was excited. "Grandpa Long, are you going to help me add my Third Soul Ring?"

To be honest, Qin Fang truly missed the outside world a little.

Long Xiaoyao grabbed Qin Fang. Black Soul Tool wings emerged from his back, nearly ten meters across, their surfaces engraved with intricate patterns. "That depends on your luck, kid."

As he spoke, Long Xiaoyao carried Qin Fang straight up into the highest reaches of the clouds.

The Evil Demon Forest was grayish-black throughout, striking fear into anyone who saw it.

It was a Soul Beast Forest second only to the Star Dou Great Forest. Within it lived a 790,000-year super soul beast, second only to the Black Dragon King Di Tian: the Evil Eye Tyrant.

Long Xiaoyao was no weaker than it, but its troublesome nature made him unwilling to encounter it.

Long Xiaoyao concealed his aura and carefully led Qin Fang into the Evil Demon Forest.

The instant they entered, the forest's cold, damp atmosphere made Qin Fang uncomfortable. A forest should have been bustling with life, but the Evil Demon Forest was an exception. It was utterly silent, like hell. Only the footsteps of Long Xiaoyao and Qin Fang could be heard.

This was a forbidden zone for humans. Even Titled Douluo did not dare enter lightly.

The soul beasts of the Evil Demon Forest were even colder and more wicked. Along the way, if Long Xiaoyao had not acted in time, Qin Fang would likely have died hundreds or thousands of times.

For example, the three-thousand-year soul beast, the Poisonous Dead Leaf Worm, disguised itself as a dead leaf. It hid amid pitch-black foliage, blending perfectly into its surroundings as it waited for prey. Who could possibly spot it?

Then there was the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, the Jet Black Mantis, hidden upon tree trunks, almost completely merged with the bark and difficult to detect.

In an instant, it unleashed Mantis Fist and smashed downward, determined to kill Qin Fang.

Fortunately, Long Xiaoyao pulled Qin Fang away in time, saving him from death.

Then there were the densely packed Evil Soul Bees, numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands, which specialized in devouring the souls of Soul Masters and soul beasts. Led by a Ten Thousand Year Evil Soul Bee, even a Soul Douluo would become bare bones and die in an instant.

This was the Evil Demon Forest, practically a paradise for Evil Soul Beasts.

Qin Fang released his Martial Soul, the Jade Skeleton, and had it help sense where the Undead Aura was strongest, saving them time.

The Undead Skeleton's eyes shone brightly as it guided Long Xiaoyao and Qin Fang.

"An eight-thousand-year Death Spirit Soul Beast: Illusory Skeleton? Its added Soul Skill is Void. Unfortunately, its cultivation is too low. Pass, pass."

"This is a nineteen-thousand-year Death Spirit Soul Beast: Undead Elf? It can use Undead Magic. Hmm, not bad. It can serve as a backup choice."

"A thirty-thousand-year Death Spirit Soul Beast. Pass."

"An eighty-thousand-year Death Spirit Soul Beast? Ah, its cultivation is too high again. Still, we can reserve it for your Fourth Soul Ring, kid."

"Oh? A 50,000-Year Undead Skeleton Monarch? Kid, your luck is pretty good. Soul beasts of the same type are the most suitable to absorb, and it might even yield a Soul Bone."

They had already reached the middle region of the Evil Demon Forest, where Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts surrounded them.

The Undead Skeleton Monarch was like an emperor. Blue flames flickered within its eye sockets; it wore the grim Skull Bone of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast like a crown and held a soul beast's thigh bone like a weapon. It was patrolling its territory, forbidding any soul beast from setting foot within it.

Firelight reflected in Long Xiaoyao's eyes as he smiled. A tenth of his dark aura erupted, carrying an intense dragon's might that was utterly inconspicuous within the Evil Demon Forest.

The next second, Long Xiaoyao captured the Undead Skeleton Monarch alive and beat it into a cripple. The blue flames in its eye sockets dimmed, its crown fell away, and its weapon shattered.

Long Xiaoyao's left hand transformed into a dragon claw, gripping it tightly, while his right hand held Qin Fang as he rapidly retreated.

Absorbing the 50,000-Year Undead Skeleton Monarch Soul Ring within the Evil Demon Forest made Long Xiaoyao feel extremely unsafe. He constantly felt as if the Evil Emperor was watching them.

Only after flying a hundred li away from the Evil Demon Forest did Long Xiaoyao stop. He tossed Qin Fang down and said, "Qin Fang, hurry and end its life. Devour this Soul Ring and see if there are any surprises."

Qin Fang nodded and summoned his Martial Soul, the Jade Skeleton.

The moment Qin Fang's Martial Soul, the Jade Undead Skeleton, appeared, dense Black Qi ignited. The half-crippled 50,000-Year Soul Beast, the Undead Skeleton Monarch, seemed to be suppressed by its bloodline. It immediately submitted, dropping to both knees and gazing devoutly upon the true Skeleton Emperor.
