Chapter 88 Breakthrough to the 4th Ring
Atai and his group rebuilt two more igloos for Di Tian and his party.
Inside the igloo, light refracts through the ice walls, creating a mesmerizing halo.
Di Tian's gaze fell on Huo Yutong. The girl's aura was more solid than before, indicating that she had recently made a breakthrough.
The fourth spirit ring also originated from Crescent Moon. The first experimenter of the theory that a 100,000-year spirit beast can provide multiple spirit rings at the same time was naturally Huo Yutong. Huo Yutong has twin martial souls and needs 18 spirit rings. If each ring is from a 100,000-year spirit beast... the demand is too astonishing, so only a 100,000-year spirit spirit can provide multiple spirit rings.
Currently, Huo Yutong's cultivation level is 41, four-ring Soul Master, with a Soul Ring age of 150 million years. She possesses the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Spine Bone, whose Soul Skill is Eternal Frozen Domain, a domain skill. She also possesses the Silver Moon Wolf Right Leg Bone, whose Soul Skill is Silver Moon Assault, which allows her to launch a high-speed attack through instantaneous teleportation, greatly increasing Huo Yutong's mobility.
The first spirit, Spirit Eye; the first spirit ring; the spirit skills: Spirit Detection, Spirit Sharing, Spirit Interference, and Spirit Impact; the second spirit ring, Simulation, all come from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
The third spirit ring, spirit skill, Mental Shield: It can interfere with or even shield the opponent's mental perception, severing their mental connection with the sea of spirit or the outside world. It is a very powerful control skill. Mental Confusion: This is a powerful control skill that causes the target to become mentally confused, dizzy, and greatly reduced in strength. It is a perfect set of two control skills.
The fourth spirit ring is a group weakening spirit skill with a wide area of effect, a group excitement skill that increases the mental strength and attack power of allies, and a wide area amplification spirit skill.
Second Martial Soul: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion; First Soul Ring: Soul Skills: Ice Emperor's Turtle, Ice Emperor's Wrath; Second Soul Ring: Soul Skills: Ice Emperor's Possession, Ice Emperor's Imprisonment, using an ice prison to trap the enemy.
"Yu Tong still has enough time left on her vacation to make a trip to the Demon Forest," Di Tian said calmly. "Besides, your fifth and sixth spirit rings are already on the agenda. Since we've decided on the Evil Eye Tyrant clan as our target..."
He looked around at everyone present and finally announced the upcoming schedule.
"Next, we're going to the Demon Forest."
As soon as Di Tian finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the ice house changed.
"The Demon Forest? That place full of strange eyes?" Tianmeng's voice immediately rang out in Huo Yutong's mind, with a hint of exaggerated fear, "Oh my god, just thinking about being stared at by so many eyes makes me feel uneasy!"
Especially their ancestor, the Big-Eyed Evil Emperor! He wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Ice Emperor's voice also carried a hint of solemnity: "The Evil Emperor's strength is unfathomable, especially his expertise in mental attacks, and his racial talent is even more bizarre."
This journey will be far from as easy as it was in the far north.
Electrolux also said, "The king of spirit-type soul beasts is indeed more troublesome than ordinary ferocious beasts."
"Di Tian, your plan to obtain such a soul ring for Yu Tong is well-thought-out."
Di Tian's expression remained unchanged: "Cooperation or suppression. There is no other choice but to pave the way for Yu Tong."
If the Evil Emperor is pragmatic, that would be best; if he remains stubborn and unyielding…”
Then Di Tian asked a question that instantly made the air serious: "Elex, if the Evil Emperor refuses to cooperate, would it be feasible for me to kill him and take his soul ring for Yu Tong?"
Upon hearing this, even Tianmeng, who had just been complaining, fell silent.
Electrolux slowly shook his head: "No, Emperor Tian."
The absorption of a spirit ring, especially a top-tier spirit ring that is over 100,000 years old, is by no means a simple infusion of power.
The immense energy and resentment within it are something that Yu Tong, with her current cultivation level, could never possibly control.
Forcibly absorbing it will only result in the body exploding and the soul being scattered.
"Old Yi is absolutely right!" Tianmeng quickly chimed in, her voice tinged with lingering fear. "That was a soul beast overlord that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years!"
I know all too well how terrifying the mental backlash he suffered before his death was.
Little Yutong's small body simply can't withstand it. Even with our protection, the risk is still incredibly high.
Hyotei also stated succinctly and forcefully: "Tenet, this method will not work."
The difference in power level is too great to be bridged by willpower alone.
Electrolux concluded: "Unless one situation occurs—the Evil Emperor voluntarily sacrifices himself, peacefully transferring his cultivation and soul power to Yu Tong after tempering, and actively erasing his own resentment and spiritual imprint."
Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong.
But to make a hegemon willingly give up his life...
Di Tian remained silent for a moment. He naturally understood this principle. His question just now was merely a consideration of all possibilities.
"Voluntary sacrifice... I understand. In that case, let's 'ask' him to cooperate first."
Brigitte spoke softly, "The Demon Forest has a very different environment, with many miasma and poisonous creatures. I need to prepare some purification and protective pills in advance." She had already begun to think about the medicinal materials she needed.
Murasaki grinned, revealing sharp canines, her fighting spirit blazing: "Don't worry, if any fools dare to block my way, I'll tear them to shreds!"
"I haven't been to the Demon Forest yet!" Di Qiu exclaimed with great joy.
Di Tian was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction. "There's no time to lose. Let's make some preparations and set off in half a day."
Before leaving the far north, it was natural to say goodbye to the beasts, including Atai, Xiaobai, and Ajing.
When the group arrived outside the Ice Valley, several overlords of the far north, who had received the news, were already waiting there.
Hyotei stepped forward first, her gaze landing on Titan Snow Demon King Atai: "Atai, during my absence, you will temporarily take charge of the order in the far north. You must remain calm and composed in all matters, and not act rashly."
She paused, then turned her gaze to the crystal-clear Ice Jade Scorpion King, Ah Jing, beside her. "Ah Jing, you are thoughtful and helpful. If any enemies attack, you two should work together."
Atai lowered his massive head and responded in a deep, respectful voice: "I obey the Emperor's decree." Ajing also slightly shook her scorpion pincers, indicating that she had accepted the order.
On the other side, Huo Yutong and Di Qiu'er arrived in front of the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai.
After spending time together, they had already formed a friendship with this majestic but kind-hearted giant of the ice plains.
Little White lowered its fluffy head and affectionately rubbed against Huo Huo Yutong and Di Qiu, making a "woo-woo-woo" sound of reluctance in its throat.
Di Qiu chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, big guy, it's not like we're never coming back. Take good care of the house, and we'll bring you some specialties from the Demon Forest when we return!"
Huo Yutong said softly, "Xiao Bai, take care. We'll miss you."
She reached out and gently stroked the soft fur near Little White's nose, and Little White comfortably squinted its huge bear eyes.
Di Tian observed all of this without saying a word. Seeing that the farewell was nearing its end, he spoke in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Without further ado, Di Tian transformed into a dragon.
Huo Yutong and Di Qiu waved goodbye to Xiaobai, Atai, and Ajing before getting on Di Tian's back.
Di Tian's dragon form flew into the sky, heading towards the Demon Forest far away in the Sun and Moon Empire.
