Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 148 One Year Later

A year had passed since Di Ruier left the Body Sect.

Many changes had taken place on the Douluo Continent during this year.

The atmosphere between the Sun Moon Empire and the other three original Douluo Continent countries became increasingly tense.

During this period, the Clear Sky Sect, which had been in seclusion for many years, announced its return to the world, and Shrek Academy strongly invited its Grand Elder and Second Elder to be honorary members of the Sea God Pavilion.

At the same time, people realized that although the two sect leaders of the Clear Sky Sect had been silent for many years, they were actually top figures at the level of Limit Douluo.

This undoubtedly gave the residents of the three original Douluo Continent countries a shot in the arm, but despite this, the Sun Moon Empire was still carrying out its previous plans in full swing.

The atmosphere between the Sun Moon Empire and the three original Douluo Continent countries became increasingly tense, reaching a critical point.

At the same time, with the support of two Limit Douluo for Shrek Academy, the academy's originally shattered prestige was restored.

However, it is difficult to put together a broken mirror. Even with the existence of the two Limit Douluo, the three great empires still maintained respect for Shrek Academy on the surface.

But how could the so-called Limit Douluo interfere with the thoughts that had quietly changed in people's hearts?

In addition to the sudden changes in the human world, some unknown changes had also taken place in the Star Dou Forest, the Evil Demon Forest, the Land of Extreme North, and other soul beast gathering places.

But all of this had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao, because he was already level seventy.

About half a year ago, Huo Yuhao's cultivation broke through to the level of seventy, and this level was also a key node for a qualitative change in his strength.

Soul power was transformed from liquid to solid, and at the same time, it was reorganized and arranged to lay the foundation for future promotion.

Through self-condensing soul rings, the form of the golden-level secondary awakened Eye of Truth was stabilized and permanently resided, allowing his martial soul to complete its evolution.

Understanding and learning the last of those high-level magic spells in Iruko's memory, analyzing them to increase his own heritage and pave the way for future practice.

All of these things cannot be achieved all at once in a short period of time, and after the cultivation is truly stable and breaks through to the Soul Sage level.

Along with the transformation of the martial soul to give back to the body, Huo Yuhao can also rely on his strengthened body to more effectively exert the power of the Ice Dragon King, his second martial soul.

After all, compared to the Ice Dragon King, a martial soul that has reached the level of God, the factors that always restrict the maximum output of the second martial soul are still Huo Yuhao's own insufficient cultivation and weak body.

Even though Huo Yuhao's physical level was already comparable to that of a general Soul Douluo when he was a Soul Emperor, it was still too far from a Divine-level martial soul.

The vast mental power was constantly being rapidly consumed within Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, and at the same time, Tianmeng Iceworm's spiritual origin was gradually unsealed, replenishing Huo Yuhao's rapidly drying sea of consciousness.

At this time, within Huo Yuhao's body, the Golden Life, which originally existed in solid form and symbolized powerful life energy, had already shown visible loss.

Because the continuous life energy was being rapidly transformed and extracted by Huo Yuhao into Qi and blood power.

Through the combination of Qi and blood power and spiritual energy, the container of soul power, and also the seventh soul ring that best fits Huo Yuhao himself, was gradually taking shape.

The seventh soul ring symbolizes a Soul Master's Martial Soul True Body.

Regardless of the source of the soul beast, its final effect is unique and fixed, that is, the Soul Master's Martial Soul True Body.

It's just because of the different sources of soul beasts, the influence of the soul ring on the origin of the Soul Master's martial soul is the most serious at this stage.

For example, some relatively weak martial souls, such as Blue Silver Grass, if they fuse with the seventh soul ring formed by some relatively powerful soul beasts.

Then the origin of its martial soul will inevitably be seriously affected, resulting in deviation and evolution.

Unless the level of the seventh soul ring source is lower than the quality of one's own martial soul, then the impact it receives can be almost ignored.

And in addition to the source of the soul beast, the foundation of the seventh soul ring is actually the age of the soul beast.

Because the age of the soul beast is the foundation for constructing the soul ring, the increase in the Soul Master's own strength from the seventh soul ring Martial Soul True Body is also based on this point.

The more powerful the seventh soul ring is, the more powerful the true power of the martial soul that the Soul Master can exert.

Martial souls are ethereal existences before Soul Masters.

Even if Martial Soul Avatar can strengthen Soul Masters, it does not fundamentally change the essence of Soul Masters as human beings.

Martial Soul True Body can be regarded as the first step for Soul Masters to step into the realm of non-humans from humans. Martial Soul True Body can be used as a carrier, allowing Soul Masters to carry more powerful soul power.

At the same time, this soul power will make the existence of the martial soul more and more 'real', until it finally truly merges with the Soul Master himself.

This is why only Soul Masters starting from level seventy have the possibility of condensing a Soul Core, because the existence of a Soul Core requires a powerful container.

And the human body is not enough to carry the Soul Core, only a powerful enough Martial Soul True Body can be used as the initial container to condense the power of the Soul Core.

Along with the formation of the Soul Core, the power of the Soul Core will gradually change the cells in the Soul Master's body, substantially completing the transformation.

Although it is still not enough to compare with soul beasts with innate physical strength, and soul power is fully integrated and strengthens the body, this stage is when the Soul Master's body truly begins to have the possibility of transforming into complete energy.

For this reason, the choice of the seventh soul ring is crucial. If the chosen soul beast does not match the nature of one's own martial soul, although it will not be visible on the Martial Soul True Body in the short term, it will lay hidden dangers for future breakthroughs.

Therefore, for various considerations, Huo Yuhao did not go to hunt down 100,000-year soul beasts to add new soul rings to himself after reaching level seventy soul power.

If one were to say what is most suitable for Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes martial soul, it would be the Evil Eye Tyrant clan.

Among them, the pure spiritual attribute Evil Eye Tyrant has at least 70% compatibility with Huo Yuhao's future development.

If it were other pure spiritual attribute soul beasts, then the minimum compatibility should also be around 30%.

But since he has the ability and experience of self-condensing soul rings.

Huo Yuhao would naturally not give up the path he had already decided on and choose soul rings of other spiritual attribute soul beasts as a second choice.

Even if the resources required for self-condensing soul rings and the time required for self-condensing soul rings are longer, all of this is worth it.

Behind Huo Yuhao, the originally glorious and dazzling light and shadow of the Eye of Truth were now like faded colors, with mottled cracks appearing on it.

The original golden phantom had also dimmed a lot, replaced by Huo Yuhao's eyes, the color of which had subtly changed from its original state after the Martial Soul Fusion.

Faint colorful light flowed within them, eventually returning to a deep, ink-like black.

The light of the secondary awakening circulated, and the power of Qi and blood, as well as mental energy, changed. The somewhat pale and illusory seventh Soul Ring gradually appeared beneath Huo Yuhao.

Time passed bit by bit. With the appearance of the seventh Soul Ring, the originally large amount of consumed mental energy and the power of Qi and blood gradually returned to calm.

Instead, the originally滔滔不绝 (tāo tāo bù jué - torrential) Soul Power within Huo Yuhao's body flowed into the seventh Soul Ring.

As if pouring into a bottomless cave, a large amount of Soul Power surged and submerged, but did not cause any obvious changes to the seventh Soul Ring, only dyeing it with a faint color.

However, now that the foundation of the Soul Ring had been laid, what Huo Yuhao had to do was to fill it with a large amount of Soul Power. After it was filled, the Martial Soul True Body and Soul Core would be completed naturally.

Although this step could be regarded as a slow and steady process that could be completed naturally with more time, Huo Yuhao had made sufficient preparations for this moment.

And in order to avoid complications and other accidents, the final step of condensing the seventh Soul Ring should naturally be completed in one go.

As the fourth Soul Ring flickered, six illusory spirit fox tails appeared around Huo Yuhao.

These six spirit fox tails stored the excess Soul Power that he had accumulated during these days while consuming mental energy and the power of Qi and blood to condense the seventh Soul Ring.

The usable Soul Power accumulated in each spirit fox tail was the sum of Huo Yuhao's entire body of Soul Power, and now was the time to use them.

With the influx of a large amount of Soul Power, the terrifying Soul Power fluctuations even caused the surrounding environment of Huo Yuhao to distort.

The density of Huo Yuhao's Soul Power was already impressive, because of his strong physical strength and conscious storage. Therefore, Huo Yuhao's own Soul Power quality was not inferior to some weak Title Douluo.

Now, the convergence of seven times the total amount of Soul Power, and the aggregation of high-density Soul Power, further triggered a small-scale spiritual energy tide, attracting the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy to flow towards Huo Yuhao's retreat, adding bricks and tiles to his condensed seventh Soul Ring.

Finally, after exhausting all the chaos and a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the location of the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao succeeded.

The self-condensed seventh Soul Ring flickered with a strange light, unlike the usual Soul Ring's white, yellow, purple, black, and red. It was more like the million-year Soul Ring transformed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, revealing a faint golden luster, warm and jade-like.

Such a grand momentum and movement naturally alarmed the other powerhouses in the Body Sect.

However, under the coordination of Poison Undying, the other elders went to appease the disciples who did not know what had happened.

Poison Undying transformed into a dark green giant several thousand meters tall, and fully deployed his Soul Power and spiritual power in the high sky of the Body Sect.

He monitored Huo Yuhao's retreat and any possible movements in the area belonging to the Body Sect. After all, Huo Yuhao was the future of their Body Sect, and no mistakes were allowed.

However, although the momentum caused by Huo Yuhao's breakthrough was quite grand, fortunately, no other accidents occurred.

After all, before the breakthrough, Huo Yuhao naturally mobilized the power of luck to protect himself and eliminate the possibility of failure.

After completing the self-condensed Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao did not leave the retreat directly, but closed his eyes and carefully felt the various changes that had occurred in his physical body, spirit, and Martial Soul.

After connecting himself more closely with the Martial Soul through the Martial Soul True Body, Huo Yuhao can finally target the 'Original Body' Martial Soul, which he was not satisfied with before.

Perhaps it was because of the normalization of the Eye of Truth, or perhaps it was because Huo Yuhao had broken through the seventieth level and his Soul Power had completed solidification.

That 'root' that created the Eye of Truth, that 'origin' that enabled Huo Yuhao to possess the Eye of Truth that broke through common sense, Huo Yuhao's speed of cracking and replicating it was much faster.

However, this was only in comparison to the previous speed. In fact, Huo Yuhao still felt it was too slow.

'Perhaps my current strength is not enough, and I can't rush for a while. If I want to continue to speed up the analysis, maybe I need to break through to the ninetieth level and have a second Soul Core.'

After a little thought, Huo Yuhao did not continue to dwell on this point.

After possessing the Martial Soul True Body and the permanent Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao's current physical strength has reached the level of a Title Douluo.

Moreover, he is still an existence that can compete with those Title Douluo with stronger physical strength.

Because of this, Huo Yuhao can now let the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul 'possess' him.

Although it is not a complete possession in the conventional sense of a Beast Soul Master, Huo Yuhao can temporarily borrow the absolute zero-level power of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul without causing damage to himself.

This is also gratifying, after all, this also means that Huo Yuhao can have a new trump card.

Although the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul also had the power of absolute zero before, it was not Huo Yuhao who could use it, so this can be regarded as a small shortcoming of this God-level Martial Soul.

Now that Huo Yuhao's physical strength has reached the standard, he has taken the opportunity to complete this point and make it more perfect.

After carefully feeling and comprehending the changes that had taken place in his body, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and left the retreat.

And with Huo Yuhao's rise, this secret room, which carried a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy and Soul Power scouring, was destroyed by the delicate balance it maintained.

It directly shattered into fine dust and then dissipated in the wind. This was caused by Huo Yuhao subconsciously using his ability when forming the Martial Soul True Body.

Even the secret room built by the Body Sect for its own powerhouses at the cost of precious materials could not withstand the devastation of Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul True Body with a single thought and disintegrated.

"Hahaha, good disciple, come and see me quickly!"

Poison Undying's voice transmission reached Huo Yuhao's ears when he stepped out of the secret room.

Huo Yuhao's retreat this year also made him very concerned about his disciple.

After all, he was also very worried about Huo Yuhao, because Huo Yuhao's theories and ideas were too bold, but now that Huo Yuhao has successfully succeeded, then everything is fine.
