Chapter 172: Da Ming and Er Ming Arrived!
In Hu Bai's right hand, a wisp of Divine Power also appeared, but this wisp of Divine Power contained the eight great elements.
"The legacy I inherited is that of the eight great elemental gods: the Fire God, Water God, Ice God, Earth God, Light God, Dark God, Wind God, and God of Space. You'll know if you look at the mark on my forehead."
"I know you might also ask—whether I have a divine trial and whether I can pass it is still uncertain—but I want to tell you that I am less than ten years old this year and am already a Soul Emperor at the peak of the sixty-ninth rank. Currently, I am undergoing the third trial, and I have plenty of time to carefully pass the divine trial."
Nine years old, a sixty-ninth rank Soul Emperor!
Could these two terms even appear together?
A Rou originally didn't want to believe it, but the six soul rings that appeared on Hu Bai's body were incredibly dazzling.
Before she could ask anything further, three figures emerged from Hu Bai's Spiritual Sea.
"This is... Soul Beast!" A Rou was completely stunned now, not knowing what to say.
Tianmeng Iceworm eagerly said, "Next, let me, a Million Year Soul Beast, explain it to you! Actually, Xiao Bai and the others are willing to make this deal with you, and it's also the will of us three. They are also giving us face by wanting to talk with you."
"If possible, I hope that the four of you—Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts—can sacrifice yourselves together. When Xiao Bai becomes a god in the future, you will also ascend to the God Realm and gain eternal life."
"Million Year Soul Beast! In this world, do Million-Year Soul Beasts truly exist?"
A Rou had actually noticed earlier that Hu Bai's third soul ring was not pure white but had golden patterns. This should have been provided by the large bug in front of her.
"The three of you shouldn't be Soul Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, right? There are no such powerful ice-attribute Soul Beasts there. Could it be that you are from... the Extreme North?"
Tianmeng Iceworm nodded and said, "That's right. The three of us are from the Extreme North. I am Tianmeng Iceworm, and the other two are Ice Empress and Snow Empress, two of the three great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North. Their cultivation levels are four hundred thousand years and seven hundred thousand years, respectively."
The Ice Empress said arrogantly, "That's right. You see that we are all willing to take this risk, which shows that the risk of accompanying Xiao Bai to become a god is actually not that great."
"We are unwilling to see humans hunt Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts. After all, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts—whether they transform or not—possess the intelligence of adult humans. You should understand what we mean, right?" The Ice Empress said lightly.
Becoming a god, eternal life—these were things she had pursued her entire life. A Rou hadn't expected that what she thought was a certain death situation today actually had a turning point.
If she were alone, she would naturally be willing, but she still had Xiao Wu...
At this moment, Xiao Wu, at some unknown time, had already walked out on her own, came to A Rou's side, and took her hand.
"Mom, I'll listen to you." Xiao Wu knew that, facing so many powerful individuals, no matter how strong her mother was, even if she sacrificed everything, she would not be able to escape.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast sacrifices indeed have a barrier, but whether it can trap so many powerful individuals at once is another matter.
A Rou looked at the sensible Xiao Wu, her eyes filled with doting affection, and she gently knelt to stroke her head.
"I understand."
"My daughter and I can sacrifice ourselves, sealing our Souls within a Soul Bone, but whether Da Ming and Er Ming are willing to sacrifice themselves, I cannot decide..."
She had no right to make choices for others, even if she had known Da Ming and Er Ming for a long time.
Then, A Rou looked at Hu Bai, knowing that the person in front of her was the key figure.
"How do you want to do this?"
Hu Bai nodded, pointing to his teacher and his younger sister: "I hope you can sacrifice yourselves to my teacher and my younger sister, respectively."
"Additionally, because you two are mother and daughter, even if you sacrifice yourselves, your souls probably wouldn't want to be separated. My idea is for both of your Souls to enter one Soul Bone, and this Soul Bone will be absorbed by my teacher."
"My teacher's body contains Rakshasa Divine Power, which can greatly ensure that your soul power will not be lost, and my teacher's strength is quite powerful, which can also largely guarantee that your soul ring and Soul Bone will not be used in the future."
"Once we become gods, we can resurrect you."
Under normal circumstances, a corresponding Soul Bone can only contain its corresponding Soul; other Souls cannot enter, as the Soul Bone would inevitably reject them.
However, A Rou and Xiao Wu were different; they were mother and daughter, extremely familiar with each other's Souls, and there would be no rejection at all.
And when Hu Liena heard that she would also get a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, her heart couldn't help but pound rapidly, and her eyes sparkled.
Although her soul power was only at rank thirty-five now,
But!
As mentioned before, there are two types of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast sacrifices, and the sacrifice method Hu Bai and the others had A Rou and Xiao Wu choose was the second type—the most overbearing one.
This type of sacrifice ignores the Soul Master's cultivation and physical strength and can directly attach the Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone to the Soul Master's body.
If the Soul Master's cultivation has not yet met the conditions for absorbing a soul ring, the energy of the Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring will first make up for that deficiency.
Just like when Hu Bai absorbed Tianmeng Iceworm's soul ring before, it first replenished his soul power to rank thirty, and then it increased.
Just as they were about to sacrifice, a commotion suddenly came from behind them.
"What a coincidence—the other two Soul Beasts have also come over on their own."
Although the distance was still a bit far, under Hu Bai's shared mental detection, the figures of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were crystal clear.
Moreover, just the pressure they emitted could be felt by any Soul Master of decent strength.
"Aunt Rou!"
"Xiao Wu!"
"We've come to save you!"
Er Ming's rough voice came from not far away.
Just a moment ago, they had felt a very strong battle fluctuation here, and one of those fluctuations was very familiar.
It was emitted by Xiao Wu's mother!
They hadn't expected that they would leave for a while, and humans would actually seize the opportunity!
If Xiao Wu's mother were to perish, they would never forgive themselves in this life.
But when Da Ming and Er Ming rushed over, the scene before them left them a little bewildered.
"Big Brother, they don't seem to be fighting. What's going on?" Er Ming's big head was filled with confusion.
Da Ming's enormous ox head glanced at him. How would he know?
"Aunt Rou, Xiao Wu, are you two alright?" Da Ming asked, then looked at Bibi Dong and her group with a wary expression, his voice cold: "Humans, considering your difficult cultivation, leave now."
Hu Bai: ???
Hu Bai and the others exchanged glances. Did they look weak, not a match for Da Ming and Er Ming?
