Chapter 128 Bai Yuhao Obtains the Ice God Martial Soul! The Soul Masters of the Underworld are All Stunned!
[And at this moment, in the sky.]
As Xuanzi led Huo Yuhao and the others deeper into the palace, the interior was fully revealed to the world.
This is an ice palace constructed from pure laws and energy.
The walls were not made of stone, but of flawless, extremely cold crystals, with pale blue, orderly threads flowing across every inch of their surface.
Tens of thousands of ice crystal wind chimes floated atop the palace, spontaneously emitting a clear, soul-cleansing sound even without wind.
The ground was a smooth, mirror-like sheet of ancient ice marrow, reflecting Huo Yuhao's awe-inspiring double pupils.
The moment Huo Yuhao stepped into this space, he felt his soul power surge violently due to the absolute purity of the external energy.
Looking at the dreamlike scene around him, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Master, the energy level here... I feel like my spiritual sea is about to be frozen."
[The Ice Emperor also seemed extremely uneasy. She tugged at Bai Xuanzi's sleeve and whispered, "Xuanzi, the oppressive aura here is too strong. Even I, a possessor of ultimate ice, feel a sense of being looked down upon by higher laws. Is this really just a place of inheritance?"]
[The Snow Empress surveyed her surroundings and added, "There is no fluctuation of life here, only the purest stillness and order. I can sense that every crystal here contains power sufficient to severely injure a Title Douluo."]
However, upon entering, the group discovered that the ice dragon attack they had encountered outside the gate did not recur.
[The Ice Emperor asked with some confusion, "Xuanzi, since this is the site of the Ice God's inheritance, why are there no enemies inside? Has the assessment already ended?"]
Xuanzi, his expression calm, walked steadily at the front: "Of course. Those ice dragon trials outside are used to select those who qualify. Now that I've brought you in, those defense mechanisms naturally won't affect us. Now we just need to keep moving forward and retrieve what truly belongs to Yuhao."
The group walked through a sacred corridor and finally arrived before an imposing statue.
That is the statue of the Ice God's true form—the Ice Crystal Phoenix.
The statue, standing a hundred meters tall, had wings that covered the entire dome of the hall, each feather woven from the finest ice order.
The phoenix's eyes were inlaid with two enormous divine cores, radiating an aura of majesty that looked down upon all living beings. Even though it was just an inanimate object, the terrifying pressure it exuded made it almost impossible for Huo Yuhao to stand firm.
Without any hesitation, Xuanzi stepped forward. His face calm, he extended his right hand and suddenly grabbed at the air.
["Buzz—"
In an instant, a dazzling blue light burst forth from between the statue's eyebrows.
A complex, mysterious blue mark, shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings, emerged directly from nothingness.
The moment the mark appeared, the entire Ice God Palace trembled slightly, as if welcoming its true master.
The Soul Masters of the Underworld were once again shocked after witnessing this scene.
Everyone craned their necks and stared wide-eyed at the sky.
"That mark... just a glance through the sky, and I feel like my soul is about to crack. What level of inheritance is this?" A Soul Emperor from the underworld wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"It must be the highest form of ultimate ice. You see, the moment that mark appeared, the surrounding space collapsed directly. That's spatial instability caused by the extremely high energy concentration."
"After Huo Yuhao from the White World obtains this inheritance, to what extent will his strength expand? Level 40? Or will he directly jump to level 50? The price for a God King to take on a disciple is truly too heavy."
From Huo Yuhao's perspective in the dark world, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm inside his body had completely curled up into a ball, and his voice was filled with unprecedented fear: "Yuhao, that blue mark... I feel a strong sense of oppression."
"That's the absolute suppression of lower-level souls by higher-level divinity. Even if I'm a million-year-old soul beast, I'm no different from an ant in front of that thing."
Huo Yuhao was surprised. He knew very well the arrogance of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Even Brother Tianmeng showed such fear, so the value of this mark must have exceeded everyone's imagination.
[In the sky.]
Xuanzi turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, sit down and guide your double pupils of divinity to connect with it. This is the foundation of your second martial soul, and also the first great gift I'm giving you. Absorb it."
Without any hesitation, Huo Yuhao immediately sat cross-legged. The moment his spiritual power touched the blue mark, his entire body was instantly enveloped in a thick layer of blue ice.
This absorption process lasted for several days.
Throughout this time, Bai Xuanzi stood with his hands behind his back, suppressing the rampant divine fluctuations around him.
Several days later, the ice broke.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, a flash of azure light passing through them.
His aura surged wildly, and the intensity of his soul power fluctuations caused tidal waves within the hall.
The instant the absorption was complete, his cultivation level leaped from level thirty-five to the fortieth level, the Quasi-Soul Master realm! More importantly, the phantom of a pair of ice crystal wings faintly appeared behind him.
Not only did he obtain a top-tier second martial soul called "Ice Crystal Phoenix," but he also fused a piece of "Ice Crystal Phoenix Torso Bone" radiating a half-level aura within his body!
Huo Yuhao felt the surging power within him with excitement. Xuanzi looked at him and asked gently, "How do you feel?"
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, his face slightly flushed with excitement: "Master, it feels amazing! I feel that the essence of my soul power has undergone a complete transformation."
"Very good. Show me your second martial soul." Xuanzi said calmly.
Huo Yuhao nodded, his eyes flashing with a mixture of gold and red. Immediately, a clear and resonant phoenix cry echoed throughout the entire Ice God Palace.
A translucent ice phoenix, its wings adorned with flowing divine runes, stood proudly behind Huo Yuhao.
The instant the Martial Soul was summoned, an invisible blue-white wave rapidly spread, instantly covering an area of about a hundred meters in radius.
"This is the Ice Phoenix's innate domain—the Ice Phoenix Domain," Huo Yuhao explained to Xuanzi while maintaining his martial spirit. "Within this domain, the power of all elemental attacks except for ice-attribute attacks will be forcibly reduced by forty percent."
He raised his hand, and the color of his domain deepened: "And against my nemesis, the fire attribute, its attack power will be directly reduced by eighty percent by the domain's rules! At the same time, the power of all my ice attribute soul skills will increase by one hundred percent within this domain."
The underworld was utterly shocked.
"A martial soul with its own domain? It activated its domain at the same time it acquired the martial soul?"
"This kind of attribute suppression is terrifying! Fire attribute is reduced by eighty percent. In front of Bai Yuhao, wouldn't those fire-type soul masters be no different from ordinary people?"
After demonstrating his martial spirit, Huo Yuhao began to showcase the skills granted to him by the torso bone.
"Master, this is a demonstration of my soul bone skills."
[Huo Yuhao activated the icy blue light from his chest, unleashing his first soul bone skill: Icy Snowfall.]
The previously calm air suddenly began to fill with dense ice crystals and snowflakes.
Each snowflake carried an extremely potent chilling poison. The ice elements in the air instantly condensed to a viscous state, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet to an extreme point that even the far north core could not reach.
[Immediately afterwards, he pointed to a pillar of ice crystals ahead, activating his second soul bone skill: Absolute Freeze.]
Around the incredibly hard ice pillar, the space seemed to freeze due to the extreme cold. A layer of ice, beyond the definition of physics, rapidly covered it, completely locking down all its energy flow.
Finally, Huo Yuhao clenched his right hand, activating his third soul bone skill: Ice Explosion.
Inside the object sealed by "Absolute Freeze," the previously dormant ice elements suddenly went berserk. With a deafening roar, the frozen object shattered and disintegrated at its microscopic structure, turning into a shower of dust.
Upon seeing this scene, the Soul Masters of the Dark World were once again plunged into a deathly silence of shock.
"Holy crap! Bai Yuhao is defying the heavens!"
