Chapter 103 The Second Martial Spirit
After Du Bu Si set up a soul blockade and controlled all the immortal herbs, he checked the blockade again to ensure safety.
"Okay, there's no problem now. At least within ten days, these magical herbs won't be able to break the seal from the inside." Du Bu Si nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, he also picked the snow-colored swan neck according to the method Huo Yuhao had said before.
With the suppression of Qiluo Heart, the process of picking the snow-colored swan neck went very smoothly without any accidents.
Huo Yuhao was walking around in the valley, leaving Du Bu Si completely confused.
"Yuhao, what are you looking for? Those old soul beasts should have been controlled."
Huo Yuhao said, “Master, I am looking for the opportunity that I sensed before.”
In fact, Huo Yuhao was looking for a location that was most suitable for analyzing the location of the Ice Dragon King's skeleton.
Although the analysis of the Eye of Truth was comprehensive enough, the Ice Dragon King was, after all, a former God-King-level being. The previous large-scale analysis only allowed Huo Yuhao to determine the location of his true corpse.
If you really want to analyze it completely, I don't know when you will be able to do it.
After all, Huo Yuhao’s cultivation level is not high enough now, and he is still a long way from the god level. However, the purpose of Huo Yuhao’s trip is not to analyze the existence of the two dragon kings, but just to get some benefits.
After finding the most suitable location to observe the Ice Dragon King's corpse, Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged on the shore near the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Not far from him was where the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass grew.
As the Eye of Truth analyzed the details, the shape of the Ice Dragon King's corpse gradually took shape in Huo Yuhao's mind.
The analysis of the elemental laws controlled by the Ice Dragon King, his remaining divine power and divine consciousness, was progressing particularly slowly.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao directly gave up this part and instead focused on deconstructing the Ice Dragon King's body.
With the previous process of deconstructing the ice dragon's external soul bone, although the Ice Dragon King's cultivation is high enough, his life level has already been greatly different from that of the little ice dragon with weak cultivation.
However, the bloodline and racial composition of the dragon race, except for the strength of their accumulated cultivation, has not undergone any fundamental changes.
With the help of his experience in deconstructing the ice dragon's external soul bone, Huo Yuhao quickly found the correct way to open the Ice Dragon King's body.
At the same time, combining his previous experience in transforming his martial soul, Huo Yuhao began to establish the final form of his second martial soul, the formless ice, for the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
It's just that although the essence of the ice-attributed martial spirit brought by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is pure, the quantity is very small.
After all, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm itself is not a soul beast that is good at using ice attributes, and its ice attribute can only be regarded as a byproduct at best.
Therefore, the second martial soul that he brought to Huo Yuhao was actually the product of his purification of his own ice attribute.
Although the ultimate attributes of Douluo Continent are not that powerful in other worlds and are at most purer, there is nothing that can be done about it as other attributes on Douluo Continent are weaker and more complex.
Huo Yuhao has a way to adjust this purity, just like the affinity that Alex mentioned. If a person's affinity for ice is only 10%.
Then, if we eliminate the 90% of incompatible parts, the affinity of the remaining parts will naturally be 100%.
But how can humans survive with only 10% of their body parts left? How can they continue to practice without a complete body?
This is the process called complete energy transformation, and it is also the so-called divine body on Douluo Star.
The first step to becoming a god is to purify your body and discard the messy parts.
But how can this be done?
The ultimate attribute of a martial soul is to make the intangible martial soul reach a sufficiently pure level to make up for the deficiencies of human flesh and blood.
However, unlike soul beasts that have evolved continuously and have a true affinity for over 90 percent of elements, the human body is still a body of flesh and blood, and is affected by various mutations.
Therefore, among human soul masters, those who possess ultimate attributes are very rare. Even if one inherits a martial soul with ultimate attributes, it is not necessarily possible to possess the same ultimate attributes.
This is the same as the martial soul that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm brought to Huo Yuhao. The reason why it did not take shape is that if it took shape, it would only be the Ice Silkworm Martial Soul.
It is precisely because the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm removed all parts except ice that this unformed second martial soul has completely new possibilities.
But since others can possess ultimate attributes, how could Huo Yuhao not be able to do it now?
The so-called ultimate attribute is nothing more than an extremely high affinity for elements, that is, purity.
Being able to analyze and reorganize through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao can completely remove those impure parts of his martial soul, but this creates another problem.
So what should be used to supplement the missing parts? Energy, like flesh and blood, cannot be created directly out of nothing.
At most, it can be transformed into another form and become a part of oneself.
However, Huo Yuhao is unable to do this now, because he is unable to carry out a complete transformation according to his own wishes.
Therefore, he needs to take advantage of the geographical location of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and he also needs to take advantage of the essence of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass.
With the help of external force, he was able to complete the process of constructing his martial soul form through pure ice.
Otherwise, even if he eventually shaped his second martial soul according to the body structure of the Ice Dragon King, what would eventually be born would only be a martial soul with a form but no substance.
“Master, please give me the essence of the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass.” Huo Yuhao said to Du Bu Si who was standing beside him, “I have found the feeling now. Please, Master, please stay away from me from now on.”
Du Bu Si was somewhat puzzled by this. After all, although Huo Yuhao had previously shown various talents that were extraordinary, he had never shown any talent related to ice attribute. Why did he need the essence of the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass, a natural treasure of ice attribute? However, seeing Huo Yuhao's confident look, Du Bu Si nodded and handed the vessel containing the essence of the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass to Huo Yuhao without saying anything more.
Huo Yuhao used his mental power to support the vessel containing the essence of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, allowing it to float in front of his chest, and then slowly closed his eyes.
After Du Bu Si was a little further away from him and his aura would no longer conflict with his, an aura similar to the icy eyes in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire began to rise from Huo Yuhao's body.
Frost began to gradually form along Huo Yuhao's skin, and finally turned into a thick layer of ice crystals, completely wrapping his entire body.
If I had to describe it, it would be that Huo Yuhao was covered in ice crystals at this moment, just like the real dragon egg covered in red crystals at the previous auction.
At this moment, in Huo Yuhao's body, a martial soul that was originally formless but real was actually taking shape.
‘Incredible’ At this time, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also awakened. After all, the martial soul that Huo Yuhao was currently transforming was created because of him.
At this time, the ice that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm originally called soulless had turned into ice crystals, covering every part of Huo Yuhao's body.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said with some concern: "If it is a soul ring of an ice-attributed soul beast as the main body, with the help of the soul ring's energy, it will definitely be able to give your second martial soul a true form."
"But Yuhao, you don't have a spirit ring as an external force to assist you now. If you rely on yourself for everything, if you really fail, this second spirit will definitely disappear."
"Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng, I never do anything without preparation."
Huo Yuhao was right. He never did anything without preparation, but he also did not say that he was 100% sure of this move.
If Huo Yuhao were to do it on his own, his chances would only be about 30%. However, with the help of the vitality provided by the Gold of Life, the essence of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, and the ice eye of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, his success rate would at least increase by another 30%.
Taking into account the influence of the mysterious power of destiny, Huo Yuhao's success rate will at least increase by 10%, which means he has a 70% success rate.
With a 70% success rate, it was worth a try, because Huo Yuhao didn’t really value this second martial soul. After all, in the eyes of the people on Douluo Continent, the more martial souls one had, the better. But he didn’t think so.
For the natives of Douluo Continent, more martial souls mean more soul skills, and more soul skills mean more complex means their methods are, and it is more difficult for others to target them.
But for Huo Yuhao, in a battle of the same level, the impact range of his ability is already wide enough. What he lacks is a sufficiently powerful and absolute means.
Moreover, too many martial souls will make it difficult for a soul master to have a clear path, just like Huo Yuhao after he became a god in the original novel.
He did not cultivate his second martial soul as his main ability, and even the existence of his third martial soul was directly ignored after he became a god.
After all, before becoming a god and after becoming a god are already two different levels, and the limit of the ability that the martial soul can accommodate is only level 100 at most.
As the ice crystals took shape, Huo Yuhao began his own actions. Through the guidance of his mental power and the Eye of Truth, he changed the form of his martial soul, which was originally made up of invisible ice in his body.
At the same time, with the help of the ice crystals wrapped around his body, Huo Yuhao began to filter the essence of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass in front of him. The pure ice energy penetrated into Huo Yuhao's body through the ice crystals.
The ice attribute of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass is already extremely pure, but it is only equivalent to about 92% affinity for the ice element.
However, after being filtered by the layer of ice crystals on Huo Yuhao's body, the energy absorbed by Huo Yuhao had a purity close to 99%. As for 100% purity, it was no longer something that a simple martial spirit could accommodate.
During this process, a new martial soul was conceived and born in Huo Yuhao's body and slowly took shape.
However, along with the absorption of this extremely pure ice attribute energy and the formation of the new martial soul, the ultimate ice martial soul with 99% affinity for ice attribute energy also began to have a serious impact on Huo Yuhao's body.
The damage this influence caused to Huo Yuhao's body was even more serious than the impact caused by him obtaining the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion spirit in the original novel.
Although the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion has a high level of cultivation, most of its energy has been completely sealed after it became a martial spirit, and all that remains is the influence of its ultimate attributes.
The Ice Jade Scorpion clan all have the ultimate ice attribute, but the ultimate ice attribute also has different levels. The ultimate ice attribute purity of ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions is about the critical point of 90%.
As the Ice Emperor of the Ice Azure Emperor Scorpion, its ultimate ice attribute is only about 94%.
But even so, in the original work, Huo Yuhao's body had to adapt to the high-purity extreme ice attribute, so his cultivation speed dropped significantly. If there were not a lot of opportunities to make up for it, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
What does it mean to have ninety-nine percent pure ultimate ice?
At this time, Huo Yuhao's body had begun to change shape involuntarily. Under the influence of the extreme ice, he began to perfect this last 1% and the process of complete elementalization.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao stimulated the energy of the Gold of Life. With the help of the vitality of the Gold of Life, the flesh and blood tissues in Huo Yuhao's body began to recover and strengthen rapidly, competing with the extreme ice, or adapting to each other's existence.
If Huo Yuhao's body cannot withstand the extremely pure and ultimate ice attribute, then his body will eventually turn into a ball of pure ice crystals.
However, if Huo Yuhao’s body can withstand it, then under the high pressure of the extreme ice, his physical strength will surely rise to another level.
Generally speaking, this situation is difficult to achieve, because the vitality of a soul master is far insufficient compared to that of a soul beast, not to mention the extreme attributes that even soul beasts cannot withstand.
However, the existence of the Gold of Life gave Huo Yuhao the opportunity to turn the impossible into possible. With a steady supply of vitality to replenish, Huo Yuhao quickly absorbed the life energy that could only be absorbed slowly over time.
Having too much life energy is not a good thing, but now, as one thing grows while the other shrinks, with the help of the dual tempering of huge life energy and extreme ice, the flesh and blood tissue in Huo Yuhao's body is destroyed and regenerated at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, the energy limit it can carry and its own strength are also rising rapidly.
Moreover, through the regulation of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao did not allow his body to develop towards the ice attribute during this process.
Instead, he simply sharpened his body's strength so that it could withstand the effects of extreme ice.
If left alone, then under the tempering of life energy and extreme ice, Huo Yuhao's body would naturally begin to become affinity with ice attributes, which would naturally be simpler, but this was something Huo Yuhao disdained.
