Chapter 105: Octagonal Sacrifice
"I am willing to believe you."

Following his inner thoughts, after Xiaobai's persuasion, the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass no longer hesitated and spoke firmly to Huo Yuhao.

After hearing this, although the other immortal herbs did not dare to speak out publicly to oppose or ridicule due to the existence of Du Bu Si, they all showed great anxiety.

Even the Fiery Apricot, the mortal enemy of the Star Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass, is like this. Although it and the Star Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass are incompatible due to ice and fire, they have been quarreling with each other since they gained intelligence, and they are true mortal enemies.

But over the years, in this isolated place of Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, there are only a few immortal herbs that can give birth to intelligence. After living together for such a long time, there is still a certain affection between them.

Moreover, for soul beasts, there is no need to explain what sacrifice means. In the absence of any special cases, it means complete extinction, which naturally makes them anxious.

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this. He ignored the thoughts of the other immortal herbs and said to Du Bu Si beside him, “Master, please unseal the Eight Anise Mysterious Ice Grass.”

"My second martial soul also happens to need a fused soul ring, and as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the sacrifice of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass can bring me many benefits."

Du Bu Si's frown relaxed at this time. As a Super Douluo, he naturally knew about the sacrifice of soul beasts, which was a hundred benefits with no harm for soul masters.

Moreover, Du Bu Si was confident in his own strength, so he certainly didn't worry that the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass would do anything under his nose. In addition, he also trusted Huo Yuhao's judgment very much.

After the seal on Du Bu Si’s soul power was released, Huo Yuhao also summoned his second martial soul, the Ice Dragon King!

When a general beast martial spirit appears, it will strengthen the physical fitness of the soul master through martial spirit possession, and at the same time change the appearance and form of the soul master himself.

This is not the case with Huo Yuhao’s second spirit, the Ice Dragon King, because after the Ice Dragon King spirit was formed, Huo Yuhao also transformed it to a certain extent through the Eye of Truth.

This allowed the second martial soul to completely separate from Huo Yuhao's body and move freely. Although this situation was different from what was initially expected, it was not entirely without benefits.

At the beginning, Huo Yuhao envisioned that his second martial soul could be attached to his body and exist at the same time as the Eye of Truth.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao can use the power of the Eye of Truth to freely transform the properties of this ultimate ice, allowing Huo Yuhao himself to have the ultimate affinity for each attribute.

But he failed in the end, and had to settle for the next best thing and separate the Ice Dragon King's spirit.

Because although Huo Yuhao’s idea can be achieved, Huo Yuhao’s current physical strength is not enough to support a god-level martial spirit. He can only do it when he possesses demigod-level strength.

Instead of wasting it like this, it would be better to separate the Ice Dragon King’s spirit first. Anyway, when Huo Yuhao’s strength increases and he really reaches the demigod level, would he still be afraid of not being able to merge them together?
However, even though the Ice Dragon King’s Martial Spirit has been separated and has a certain degree of autonomous spirituality, it still needs Huo Yuhao’s will to control it.

Rather than having an absolutely autonomous will, this is because the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit was born from the residual soul of the Ice Dragon King. Its own spirituality is not complete, and there is no possibility of giving birth to a complete soul.

Autonomous will is based on the soul as a container. If the soul is incomplete, even if Huo Yuhao places his spirit on the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit, it will be like rootless water and cannot be maintained for long.

Therefore, the Ice Dragon King's martial soul is currently similar to a mimic martial soul, but it is more powerful than an ordinary mimic martial soul, because its existence is not just a false existence that separates the martial soul from the soul master.

However, for now, before fusing with the remaining soul of the Ice Dragon King and completing his spirituality, due to the limitations of Huo Yuhao’s soul power level and mental strength, although it can be released, the Ice Dragon King’s spirit naturally cannot leave Huo Yuhao too far.

However, since the Ice Dragon King's spirit has left the body, there is naturally an advantage to doing this. That is, Huo Yuhao's first spirit, the Eye of Truth, will not conflict with it at all and they can exist at the same time.

Although Xiao Xiao had demonstrated the skill of using twin martial souls at the same time before, the reason why she could control two martial souls at the same time was first because both of her martial souls were weapon martial souls.

After being summoned, the weapon spirit does not need to possess the spirit of the soul master in order to transform the soul master's body and make it change.

If there are two beast martial souls born together, or a combination of the original martial soul and the beast martial soul, when the two martial souls affect the soul master's body at the same time.

Unless the two martial souls can complement each other and then fuse together, thus forming a self-martial soul fusion technique, it is absolutely impossible for the two to be used at the same time.

Because this will cause conflicts, different martial spirits have different effects on the human body. For example, bird martial spirits will grow wings, and turtle martial spirits will grow tortoise shells.

Although there are many such changes, these are only the changes that the martial spirit brings to the soul master's appearance. In fact, the martial spirit's possession and the deep-level transformation of the soul master's body structure are much more complicated and difficult to be compatible.

Moreover, even if the twin martial souls are two weapon martial souls, there will be no conflict between them due to the possession of martial souls. However, if you want to control two martial souls at the same time, the effort and energy required are unimaginable.

However, Huo Yuhao’s martial soul, the True Eye and the Ice Dragon King, do not have these hidden dangers. Not only does Huo Yuhao not need to put in any extra effort, but he can control them with ease.

This is because the Ice Dragon King's spirit is different from ordinary beast spirits and mimicry spirits. It has powerful spirituality in itself, but it is incomplete and therefore has no wisdom.

But just like this, it was enough to rely on Huo Yuhao's spirit and make it execute the various tactical orders issued by Huo Yuhao.

Along with the appearance of the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit, although its body was not large, it was only about two meters long.

However, compared to the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King, which only has the dragon soul left, Huo Yuhao's martial soul is undoubtedly more complete and majestic.

Standing in front of Huo Yuhao, he seemed to be the king of the world. Even Du Bu Si couldn't help but feel fearful. An invisible pressure appeared on him.

Du Bu Si's expression changed slightly, and he even doubted his intuition: "Are you kidding me? What on earth is Yu Hao's second martial soul? Just by its appearance, it actually brought me some death pressure. Is my intuition wrong? This shouldn't be the case."

Although the energy pressure of the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit was not strong, the extreme coldness spread in all directions when it was summoned by Huo Yuhao. It was not a soul skill, but an instinct.

An instinctive domain that belongs only to the Ice Dragon King. With the appearance of the Ice Dragon King, the prototype of the world belonging to the Ice Dragon King was naturally formed. The Ice Dragon King used to be a terrifying strong man at the level of God King. He also controlled the complete law of ice. Although now under his influence, Huo Yuhao only possessed the martial spirit related to it.

But even if it has not reached the god-level, it is still very different from ordinary martial spirits.

This is because the level of the Ice Dragon King's martial soul is too high. Even without soul skills, its 100% extreme ice attribute will also have a terrifying impact on the surrounding environment.

Under the interference of such extremely pure ice, the surrounding alien elements will unconsciously avoid it, or be repelled.

As a result, only pure ice attribute remains in the domain, and the pure ice attribute will form ultimate ice. Although it is not complete due to Huo Yuhao's own strength, it is enough to crush ordinary domain skills.

Moreover, the scope of this instinctive field will gradually expand as the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit becomes stronger, eventually forming a complete world, or a planet. The Ice Dragon King, who was once at his peak, naturally also had his own fiefdom.

However, at present, the extreme ice field that the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit can absolutely influence is only within a radius of ten meters. If it expands outward, although the temperature is also extremely low, it is difficult to repel all elements.

But in addition to the instinctive influence on the external environment, the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit also perfectly inherited another characteristic of the Ice Dragon King himself, a characteristic that enables it to defeat or even kill an Extreme Douluo.

That is absolute zero.

This is the innate ability brought by the ultimate ice of 100% purity, which is the body of the Ice Dragon King named Absolute Zero.

Logically speaking, this is an ability that can only be possessed at the god level, but it appears on the martial soul of Huo Yuhao, the six-ring soul emperor, and this is why Du Bu Si feels fearful.

Absolute zero is just a theoretical concept, but the absolute zero here is the lowest temperature that can theoretically appear on Douluo Star.

At the same time, this also means that under this temperature, all other attributes, energy, and life below the god level in Douluo Star will enter a state of relative stillness after being affected by absolute zero.

This is also the reason why Huo Yuhao separated the Ice Dragon King's spirit from his body, because even after being tempered and strengthened by life energy, his body is already strong enough to withstand the ultimate ice attribute of 99% purity.

However, as long as Huo Yuhao has not transformed his body into a completely ice-attributed physique, the level of absolute zero will still be a difficulty that he cannot overcome at his current level.

You know, if it was the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion spirit, in the original book, even with the help of the four great souls, plus Huo Yuhao’s title-level cultivation, it could only barely reach the level of absolute zero.

But even so, it was only a brief burst of energy, which allowed the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's martial soul to perform soul skills close to the concept of absolute zero, but it did not mean that the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's own ultimate ice attribute had reached this level.

However, the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit is different. The gap between gods and mortals exists precisely because of this. It is born with the ultimate ice domain and a body of absolute zero, so you can see how terrifying it is.

Simply put, as long as one comes into close contact with the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit, even someone as strong as an Extreme Douluo will have a high probability of dying on the spot if he doesn't handle it properly.

At the same time, even the attack of the Extreme Douluo cannot break through the physical defense of the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit, because all attacks will be "stopped" the moment they come into contact with the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit itself.

Faced with this extremely noble Ice Dragon King's martial spirit, the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass was truly convinced at this moment.

Then, it was the same scene that Huo Yuhao had experienced before, the sacrifice of soul beasts.

However, this sacrifice was even more exaggerated than the previous sacrifice of the five-tailed fox.

After all, the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass itself is a hundred thousand year old soul beast, plus it has extraordinary attributes, and it is also located in the precious land of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

The momentum was so huge that even Du Bu Si, who was standing by, couldn't help but marvel at it. After all, it was the first time he saw a hundred thousand year soul beast sacrifice itself.

With the sacrifice of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, its entire energy was gradually integrated into the body of the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit.

Huo Yuhao did not break his promise. When the sacrificial ceremony was about to end, he took back the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit and preserved the last bit of the soul of the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass along with its origin.

However, just like the previous fusion of the five-tailed fox, Huo Yuhao did not keep the soul bone of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, but instead sealed it in his body as the origin.

After all, Huo Yuhao already had the soul bones he needed, and soul bones themselves had a degree of compatibility with divine equipment, so he naturally couldn't just collect one here and one there.

“Did it succeed?” Seeing the sacrificial ceremony was over, Du Bu Si came forward immediately. After all, Huo Yuhao had just fused his sixth hundred thousand year soul ring not long ago. He was a little worried that Huo Yuhao might not be able to receive the nourishment after fusing another hundred thousand year soul ring so quickly.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and nodded, “Master, don’t worry. I am confident. Moreover, the sacrifice is different from the past. With the cooperation of the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, it will go smoothly.”

It was indeed as Huo Yuhao said. With the help of the sacrifice of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, he sealed up most of the energy in his soul ring. He would only slowly absorb the energy after he had digested the energy in the sixth soul ring. Of course, he would not be unable to receive the replenishment.

Huo Yuhao simply raised his right hand, and the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass appeared in his palm, swaying. Just as he had said before, he had preserved the spirit of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass.

Seeing this, all the immortal herbs couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, their favorable impression of Huo Yuhao increased a bit.

“Master, I have almost dealt with everything here.” Huo Yuhao paused and said, “Let’s return to the sect as soon as possible. Taking this opportunity, perhaps my Body Sect will also welcome an Ultimate Douluo.”

Du Bu Si laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, of course. No one can stop the prosperity of my Benti Sect!"
