Chapter 184 The Ice Rift!
"Uncle Bone, hit me. Am I hallucinating because I've been too busy with work lately?"
Ning Fengzhi stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the five spirit rings on Huo Yuhao's body, each a different color and shining with a strange light, and a feeling of absurdity welled up in his heart.
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating from exhaustion. The colors of these five spirit rings were so strange; he had never seen them on any spirit master before. Each spirit ring radiated an unusual brilliance.
Just now, when Ning Fengzhi saw Ning Rongrong's third 100,000-year spirit ring, he already felt that the world had gone mad. However, Huo Yuhao's five spirit rings were even more unbelievable to him.
He even began to wonder if he was still half asleep. Each of these five spirit rings emitted a strong energy fluctuation. Ning Fengzhi could clearly feel that the power of each of Huo Yuhao's five spirit rings was no less than that of Ning Rongrong's 100,000-year spirit ring.
Doesn't this mean that none of Huo Yuhao's spirit rings are less than 100,000 years old? But how is that possible? The difficulty of hunting 100,000-year-old spirit beasts is well-known, and how could there possibly be so many 100,000-year-old spirit beasts in this world? How could Huo Yuhao withstand so many 100,000-year-old spirit rings? All of this is illogical!
Not only Ning Fengzhi, but even Bone Douluo Gu Rong was filled with disbelief. As a Title Douluo, he could clearly feel the pressure of Huo Yuhao's ten-thousand-year-old spirit rings. Each of these spirit rings was a genuine ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring, but how could this be? Had ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts become as common as cabbages?
In Bone Douluo's mind, 100,000-year-old soul beasts should be extremely rare and incredibly difficult to obtain. However, Huo Yuhao possessed so many, making him wonder if Huo Yuhao was a soul ring wholesaler. But even a soul ring wholesaler couldn't possibly possess so many 100,000-year-old soul rings at once!
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were both shocked, let alone the ordinary disciples of the sect. The moment Huo Yuhao revealed his spirit rings, these disciples were so overwhelmed by the powerful pressure that they almost held their breath. The oppressive feeling was simply too strong! They felt as if their souls were trembling; everyone was shaken by that power.
However, the reaction of these ordinary disciples was understandable. It should be noted that none of Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion soul rings were less than 300,000 years old, and he also possessed a divine ring. Faced with such pressure, how could these disciples possibly withstand it?
Huo Yuhao stood there, his figure appearing exceptionally mysterious in the radiance of his spirit ring.
At this moment, even Sword Douluo Chen Xin's gaze became extremely serious. He stared at Huo Yuhao, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.
He could almost assert that Huo Yuhao had definitely obtained the inheritance of a god. Because only those successors chosen by the gods could possess such an incredible configuration of spirit rings.
Chen Xin even began to suspect that the divine power Huo Yuhao inherited might far surpass that of the legendary Angel God. He knew that Qian Daoliu's spirit ring configuration consisted of eight ten-thousand-year spirit rings and one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, a terrifying configuration, but it paled in comparison to Huo Yuhao's spirit rings.
However, despite his seriousness, Chenxin's eyes showed no fear, but rather an irrepressible excitement.
After all, this was Chen Xin's first direct confrontation with the successor of a god. The swordsmanship he cultivated was characterized by an unstoppable spirit; no matter how powerful the opponent, Chen Xin would face them with the determination to slay them with a single sword strike.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin dared not hold back in the slightest. Facing a successor of a deity, the only thing he should do was draw his sword and meet the challenge with his strongest form. This was not only a sign of respect for Huo Yuhao, but also a sign of respect for his own swordsmanship.
"Seven Kill Domain, activate!"
With a furious roar from Sword Douluo Chen Xin, the surrounding sword energy became even more viscous, as if it had materialized. This sword energy gradually gathered, eventually forming a huge domain that enveloped Huo Yuhao and Ning Rongrong, like a sword domain independent of the world.
Upon seeing Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Seven Kill Domain take shape, the surrounding Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples began to exclaim in surprise, their eyes filled with awe and excitement.
"The Seven Kill Domain! It's actually Elder Jian's Seven Kill Domain! I'd only ever heard of it before, but I never imagined I'd actually witness it with my own eyes today!" a disciple exclaimed excitedly, his voice filled with disbelief.
Hearing the exclamation of the disciple next to him, another disciple asked curiously, "Brother, what is this Seven Kill Domain? I just joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School recently and I really don't know what the Seven Kill Domain is."
The disciple who had just spoken immediately explained, "Since you're new here, I'll explain it to you. Actually, this knowledge is also in the books. When a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo level, some powerful Title Douluos will condense their own domain, which can greatly increase the Soul Master's combat power. Moreover, the combat power of a Title Douluo with a domain is completely different from that of a Title Douluo without a domain."
"Hiss—So that's how it is. A Title Douluo is terrifyingly powerful. So Elder Jian is actually this strong. Then—according to what you're saying, wouldn't Huo Yuhao have no chance against Elder Jian?" The newly joined disciple looked at the enthusiastic disciple from before with a thirst for knowledge.
Upon hearing the other person's words, the enthusiastic disciple immediately looked at them as if they were an idiot: "No way, does this kind of question even need thinking? Elder Jian is clearly just playing around with our son-in-law. Have you ever seen a Soul King defeat a Title Douluo? Did you ruin your brain from staying up all night cultivating?"
He paused, then continued, "The soul power level and soul skill power of a Title Douluo are beyond the reach of a Soul King."
Their domain skills can even change the course of the battlefield. Just think, how could a Soul King possibly win with such a disparity in skill level?
The new disciple retorted, "No, this Huo Yuhao is clearly not a normal Soul King. His Soul Ring configuration is abnormal. What if he really can create a miracle?"
Upon hearing the new disciple's words, the enthusiastic disciple couldn't help but chuckle: "Heh, you've really gone mad from cultivating. In all my years, I've never heard of a Soul King defeating a Title Douluo. Did you overdo it last night?"
Hearing the enthusiastic disciple's words, the other disciples all smiled knowingly. They all knew how terrifying the strength of a Title Douluo was; they were beings standing at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world. Every Title Douluo had their own legendary story, and the terror of a Title Douluo was simply unimaginable to others.
However, the new disciple paid no attention to their words; his gaze remained fixed firmly on Huo Yuhao. For some reason, he always felt that Huo Yuhao might truly be able to create miracles, just like his bizarre soul ring configuration, which defied common sense.
Facing the Seven Kill Domain unleashed by Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Huo Yuhao understood that this Super Douluo had gone all out. Faced with such a powerful opponent, Huo Yuhao knew he could not hold back in the slightest.
Behind him, wings of ice and fire slowly unfurled, and a terrifying power began to spread around him, soon clashing with Sword Douluo's domain. Huo Yuhao's wings were like the embodiment of ice and fire; the ice wings emitted a bone-chilling cold, while the fire wings released blazing flames. The two intertwined, forming a strange balance. The frost on the ice wings was like the harshest frost of winter, capable of freezing all life, while the flames on the fire wings were like lava from a volcanic eruption, capable of burning away all obstacles.
"Ice and Fire Dual Domain, open!" With Huo Yuhao's angry shout, the Ice and Fire Dual Domain, a mixture of extreme cold and extreme heat, instantly unfolded. Chen Xin immediately felt two terrifying forces of extreme cold and extreme heat devouring his sword intent, as if trying to completely freeze or evaporate his sword energy.
Sword Douluo's sword intent began to tremble within Huo Yuhao's domain, seemingly searching for a breakthrough, but each attempt was ruthlessly suppressed by the power of ice and fire. Under the suppression of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Domain, the sword energy was like a restrained beast, unable to unleash its full power.
In this clash of domains, Huo Yuhao's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Domain clearly gained the upper hand!
Seeing the two domains clash, everyone present was stunned. The new disciples immediately turned their attention to the enthusiastic disciple, eagerly asking, "Brother, what's going on here? Didn't you say that only Title Douluos can use domain attacks? What's happening?"
The enthusiastic disciple gaped, speechless for a moment. After a long while, he slowly spoke, saying in a low voice, "Do you think it's possible that Huo Yuhao is a Title Douluo, but he has twin martial souls, so his second martial soul has five soul rings?"
The new disciple reminded him, "But have you ever seen a Title Douluo who is twelve years old?"
"But I've never seen a twelve-year-old Soul King before—" the enthusiastic disciple replied helplessly. His voice carried a hint of uncertainty, but more so a sense of admiration and curiosity for Huo Yuhao.
Although Huo Yuhao is young, his strength has already surpassed the imagination of ordinary people. His talent and potential are astonishing.
While the surrounding disciples were discussing, the battle between Sword Douluo and Huo Yuhao officially began. Facing Huo Yuhao's domain attack, Sword Douluo Chen Xin no longer held back. His fifth spirit ring, as black as ink, began to emit light, and at the same time, powerful sword energy began to gather around him. At this moment, Sword Douluo seemed to have transformed into an unparalleled sword.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Shaking All Directions!" As Sword Douluo unleashed his soul skill, a terrifying sword aura erupted instantly, and streaks of sword aura materialized and shot towards Huo Yuhao, instantly blocking all of Huo Yuhao's escape routes.
This meant that Huo Yuhao could only withstand Sword Douluo's attack head-on, with no way to dodge or defend against it. The sword energy was as dense as a torrential rain, each strike containing enough power to split mountains and shatter rocks. Facing this overwhelming sword energy, Huo Yuhao showed no fear; his eyes gleamed with unwavering determination.
At this moment, even Bone Douluo couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Huo Yuhao. He could clearly sense that this time, Sword Douluo was truly going all out, leaving no room for retreat. The power of his attack was enough to repel or even injure an ordinary Title Douluo. Bone Douluo's heart was filled with tension and anticipation; he didn't know how Huo Yuhao would deal with this fatal blow.
However, Huo Yuhao showed no fear in the face of Sword Douluo's attack; instead, he was filled with eager excitement.
"Perfect timing! I was just thinking of testing how strong my Ice Ripple is. This is a good opportunity to put it to the test!"
Suddenly, a platinum-gold light emanated from Huo Yuhao's eyes, revealing the first skill of the Million-Year Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Bone: Spiritual Battle Song.
As Huo Yuhao unleashed his soul power, his entire body became excited, as if every nerve ending was throbbing with power.
Ning Rongrong's amplification effect acted like a catalyst, causing Huo Yuhao's strength to rise instantly to an unbelievable level.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's power was infinitely close to the critical point of level ninety-six, and the sense of expansion of that power almost shocked even himself. However, despite this, he still failed to break through that boundary and reach level ninety-six.
However, even so, Huo Yuhao's power was already astonishing. His soul power surged like a tidal wave, constantly impacting every corner of his body. He was surrounded by layers of visible soul power fluctuations, which seemed to ripple in the air as if they were real.
Then, Huo Yuhao's right hand began to emit a dazzling silver-white light, and a terrifying, enormous bear paw phantom, seemingly capable of tearing through space, slowly emerged on his right hand. This was Huo Yuhao's Ice Bear King Soul Bone skill—Ice Extreme Tear! The bear paw phantom seemed to possess a primal, wild power; each swing appeared capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, a truly awe-inspiring sight. Huo Yuhao's skill was not only incredibly powerful but also visually striking, leaving everyone stunned.
Terrifying sword energy and claw marks collided violently in mid-air, instantly tearing open large and small gashes in the hard ground. Dust billowed, frost and sword energy intertwined, and the entire platform seemed to be shrouded in a raging blizzard. The power of sword energy and frost collided in the air, producing a deafening roar that made the entire arena tremble, as if even the earth itself was trembling in the face of this battle.
The instant their attacks clashed, Huo Yuhao reacted swiftly, instructing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to move Ning Rongrong next to Bone Douluo. He knew their battle was terrifying, and he couldn't allow Ning Rongrong to suffer even the slightest harm.
Even though the platform was over a hundred meters in diameter, the terrifying aftershocks still nearly knocked some of the weaker disciples to their knees. Although they tried their best to stand firm, the force was simply too powerful for them to resist.
The arena was completely shrouded in raging sword energy and a blizzard, yet everyone stared intently, trying to see what was happening. Their hearts were filled with curiosity; they all wanted to know who had won this clash. Everyone held their breath, anxiously awaiting the outcome of the battle. The air was thick with tension and anticipation, as if time itself had frozen.
