Faced with the Skydream Iceworm's direct call, the Blazing Apricot Fairygrass didn't dare say a word.
Demigod, a million-year soul beast, and now divine remnants of dragon souls—
How could it resist?
At least becoming a soul spirit meant seeing the outside world and perhaps gaining a chance at godhood.
Resign to fate, then.
But still…
"Although I'm grateful, I do have a question." Wang Dong cautiously raised his little hand.
"I'm only level 38, not yet at the stage to acquire a fourth soul ring. And even if I did, my body couldn't withstand a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Wouldn't a sacrifice blow me up?"
The Skydream Iceworm snorted arrogantly, turning its head aside without speaking.
Instead, it activated Huo Yuhao's first soul ring, slapping it onto Wang Dong's face.
This Big Brother has plenty of tricks—
It could temporarily seal the ring's age, letting it gradually unlock as his body grew stronger.
Now tell me, isn't that impressive?
As for the level issue.
A hundred-thousand-year immortal herb sacrifice, and it still couldn't raise a three-ring Soul Elder by two levels?
The Skydream Iceworm was about to flaunt its might.
Unfortunately, the Fragrant Silk Beauty misunderstood, overthinking it:
"We hundred-thousand-year soul beasts have two kinds of sacrifice."
"One is the normal sacrifice—granting a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone to the soul master. But the soul master must be able to withstand it, or else they'll explode and die."
"The other is a blood sacrifice. One burns away soul, cultivation, flesh, everything—transforming it all into nourishment for the soul master!"
"The price: the hundred-thousand-year soul beast's soul is utterly annihilated. But regardless of the soul master's level, need for a ring, or ability to withstand it—the absorption will always succeed."
She paused, then looked toward the Skydream Iceworm.
"But since there's a successful example already, I imagine even a blood sacrifice could still be converted into a soul spirit."
The Skydream Iceworm: "Gah?"
乀(￣∠￣)丿
Are you over-imagining this just a bit too much?!
Still… blood sacrifice gave far greater benefits to the soul master than normal sacrifice.
So the Iceworm didn't bother correcting her. Let her misunderstand.
The air grew briefly quiet.
Then Electrolux spoke:
"Now, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Blazing Apricot Fairygrass—it is your time to choose."
"Will you cooperate, become soul spirits, and live in symbiosis?"
"Or else…"
He raised his staff.
A gray portal tore open in the air, from which surged forth waves of undead creatures—evil in aura, but vast in power.
"Or I could simply refine you into undead. The effect would be the same."
Good grief.
So from the very beginning, their fate was already sealed.
The only difference was whether they'd be soul spirits or undead.
Spectators Mu En and Xuan Zi frowned faintly.
Such a malevolent aura!
This demi-god… was he an evil soul master?
The two exchanged a glance, then smoothed their expressions, pretending not to see.
They couldn't fight him anyway. Charging in would just be throwing away their lives.
Besides, hadn't there been an evil soul master god before…?
Wait!
Yes!
The Rakshasa God of ten thousand years ago had been one, hadn't she?
"I agree to a blood sacrifice," the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass spoke for the first time. "But I'll go first. If I become a soul spirit successfully, then Blazing can—"
"Bullshit!" The Blazing Apricot Fairygrass snapped furiously. "Why should I go second? I'll do it first!"
The Octagonal Grass rolled its eyes.
So eager to die, are you?
Even with so many strong proofs, there was still the chance soul spirit conversion could be a lie.
So…
"Stop fighting. You'll both go together." The Skydream Iceworm cut them off. "When Wang Dong and Little Yuhao cultivate in dual cultivation, they'll refine their bodies through ice and fire, gaining triple immunity to ice, fire, and poison—and deepening your bond with them."
Huo Yuhao had no objections.
Wang Dong turned his eyes away nervously, hiding his thoughts.
The Octagonal Grass and Blazing Fairygrass stopped bickering, resigning themselves as they looked up at Electrolux.
"What must we do?"
"Wait a moment. I shall construct the Soul Spirit Equality Contract."
150,000 Fortune Points, the complete Soul Spirit Method, delivered right to their doorstep.
He placed the Light King's Sword before his chest.
The domain of soul spirits spread, dragging Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, the two herbs, Mu En, and Xuan Zi into a moonlit mirror-world.
Mu En, Xuan Zi: "???"
Weren't they just here as guardians? Why drag them in too?
They immediately realized why.
Their own soul power and spiritual power began to gush out uncontrollably.
Ah—so they were the power supply!
As Electrolux chanted a deep and ancient incantation, that energy transformed into golden runes, which assembled into a glowing hexagram.
"Bzzzz—"
Mu En and Xuan Zi were lifted into the air, every ounce of their energy pouring forth.
Because...
___
Condition: With all of Mu En and Xuanzi's energy as fuel, use the Water Dragon King's divine soul remnant to construct Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, and use the Fire Dragon King's divine soul remnant together with the upcoming blood sacrifice of Blazing Apricot Beauty to push forward the evolution of the Light Dragon Divine Butterfly!
Cost: 280,000 fortune points!
Proceed with creation?
Of these, 250,000 were Huo Yuhao's, 30,000 were Wang Dong's.
Create!
The two floating divine soul remnants each sought out their master, sinking into the two's brows.
Behind Huo Yuhao appeared a hazy silhouette of the Water Dragon King, gradually solidifying as torrents of energy poured in.
On Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly, light and flame intertwined, cocooning into a giant chrysalis for metamorphosis.
Electrolux: "It's now—begin the blood sacrifice."
Blazing Apricot Beauty and the Ice Grass drew upon the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, shaping them into an ice blade and a fire blade, slashing heavily at the roots of each other's bodies.
Roots remained behind.
Their immortal herb bodies erupted with a thick, blood-red pillar of light, piercing through the poisonous mists straight into the heavens.
The crimson magnetic field expanded, covering Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong within.
This was the protective law of sacrifice. Unless the ritual ended, not even an Ultimate Douluo could break through.
As for Mu En and Xuanzi, the "battery," they were mercilessly flung out.
But Electrolux still stood firm in midair, utterly unmoved.
Mu En and the others could only marvel again—indeed worthy of a demi-god!
The Soul Spirit Equality Contract continued.
Strange runes rose, orbiting Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
The blood-sacrifice energy from the two herbs descended.
The soul-blue energy within was gathered by the contract, flowing into their brows, embedding into their spiritual worlds.
The two immortal herbs on the ground withered away.
But the auras of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong climbed ever higher.
The Water Dragon King's phantom and the Light Goddess Butterfly shone with dazzling radiance.
Amid the blinding brilliance, Zhuge Lan's spiritual power slipped out, giving Yuhao a nudge.
Instinctively, Huo Yuhao pulled Wang Dong close, finding the most comfortable position.
Their soul power merged into the power of Haodong, channeling the Octagonal Grass's medicinal force into Wang Dong and carrying the Blazing Apricot's fire along with it—
achieving a true you within me, and me within you resonance.
Zhuge Lan exerted again, stripping away the items on their bodies and pushing them into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Plop—"
The extreme cold and extreme heat instantly dissolved their clothes!
Only then did…
