Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 155: The Sea Princess's Transformation

After experiencing that bone-chilling cold that seemed to penetrate the very depths of her heart...

After an unknown amount of time, the Sea Princess slowly awoke from an indescribable state of weakness.

She weakly tried to raise her head to observe her surroundings but discovered that her body seemed to be held in some kind of confinement.

Seven ice-blue pillars pierced through the Sea Princess's body and the various vital points of her massive, two-meter-long fish tail, firmly pinning her to the ground.

At this moment, the Sea Princess could barely move her head, and she found herself imprisoned in a room entirely constructed of ice.

Looking around, she couldn't see a single door or window, and without the support of high-concentration water elemental power, she felt incredibly uncomfortable.

But beyond that, the Sea Princess felt as if all her lifelong cultivation had inexplicably vanished.

Her mental power was scattered, and she couldn't even enter her own spiritual sea.

Her soul power had disappeared without a trace, and she couldn't even sense where her soul core was located.

Even her physical body had lost all sensation, but looking at the ice crystals spreading across her body, the Sea Princess couldn't help but feel panicked.

She had cultivated this power for hundreds of thousands of years, and it had long become her instinct.

Losing the ability to sense her mental and soul power felt like losing her arms, legs, and torso.

After the Sea Princess woke up, a human figure suddenly appeared, looking down at her from above.

Unhurried footsteps sounded, as if circling the Sea Princess and observing something.

Because her body was restricted by the ice pillars, the Sea Princess could only try to focus her gaze on the human as much as possible, but she couldn't see his entire appearance.

Although there were only a few brief moments of eye contact, the Sea Princess could feel that the human was looking at her as if she were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Who are you? What do you want to do!" the Sea Princess questioned, trying to sound fierce despite her fear.

As the leader of the mermaid race and a ferocious beast with 600,000 years of cultivation, when had the Sea Princess ever been so offended by a human?

In the Sea Princess's eyes, Huo Yuhao's actions were filled with deep contempt and provocation.

Huo Yuhao didn't directly answer her question but instead said to himself, "Hmm, the recovery is not bad. She is the fastest to recover among the sea soul beasts over 100,000 years old."

Under the full influence of Absolute Zero's power...

Because soul beasts over 100,000 years old have, to some extent, completed the energization of their bodies and condensed a soul core with their soul power.

Therefore, they can barely retain their lives in a heavily injured, near-death state after their cells, energy, spirit, and even soul are frozen by Absolute Zero.

They don't directly die in Absolute Zero like ordinary sea soul beasts.

After all, Absolute Zero is, to some extent, the purification of ice elements, and everything it touches will be forcibly endowed with irreversible ice elemental properties.

But this is also related to Huo Yuhao's actions of controlling the Ice Dragon King martial soul to use Absolute Zero Domain without interfering too much, or even intentionally controlling it.

After all, every soul beast at the 100,000-year level contains vast energy in its body. Huo Yuhao can certainly control the Ice Dragon King martial soul to completely Absolute Zero-ize all the soul beasts, including the ferocious beasts.

But if he just killed them all, it would be a bit wasteful.

Although soul bones and soul rings can still be used, and the energy after Absolute Zero-ization can also be used to supplement the Arctic Land, it lacks the possibility of sustainable development.

However, even if Huo Yuhao controlled the Ice Dragon King martial soul and withdrew the power of Absolute Zero in time.

The influence of Absolute Zero still caused irreversible damage to these sea soul beasts over 100,000 years old to varying degrees.

Only the Sea Princess relied on her deep cultivation to avoid feeling too much, and only the surface of her body was covered and transformed by ice crystals.

As for those ordinary 100,000-year soul beasts below 200,000 years, even the Demon Soul Great White Shark, which had a strong innate physique, was not enough in front of Absolute Zero.

Their flesh and blood tissues were almost 70 to 80 percent frozen to death in an instant after Absolute Zero-ization.

Fortunately, for soul beasts, as long as they are not further injured.

As long as they have a breath left, even in a severely injured, near-death state, they can at least continue their lives.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was unmoved by her question, the Sea Princess felt ashamed and annoyed. When had she, who held herself in such high regard, suffered such humiliation?

"Where is Xue Di! Where is Xue Di! Call her out! Even if I lost, she shouldn't send a mere human to humiliate me!"

"?" Huo Yuhao looked at the Sea Princess with the eyes of an idiot.

Then he shook his head and let her continue to clamor, anyway, she wouldn't be able to clamor later.

After inspection, the formation passage was intact, the blockade formed by Absolute Zero energy was normal, and various restrictions had not been damaged. Huo Yuhao prepared to continue the next step.

Huo Yuhao muttered some obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

At the same time, runes composed of soul power appeared around him.

Immediately afterward, these runes fell one after another toward the Sea Princess, who was nailed to the ground by the ice pillars.

Because he didn't use the power of the Ice Dragon Spirit and the Arctic Land.

Therefore, if Huo Yuhao wanted to attack a powerhouse of the Sea Princess's level with his cultivation, he still needed a considerable amount of preparation time.

By guiding the response of natural elements through chanting at a specific frequency, supplemented by runes for positioning and determining the final effect.

With this operation, Huo Yuhao could maximize the effect of the magic circle set up with the ice pillars formed by Absolute Zero as the base point.

As the formation took effect, an indescribable pain interrupted the Sea Princess's anger.

Causing her to howl in pain, this pain penetrated deep into her bones and soul, and it seemed to lengthen time, making the Sea Princess feel like she was living through years with every second.

At this moment, the Sea Princess clearly felt her mental power, soul power, and life force that she couldn't mobilize before.

The good news was that they still existed in her body, although there was some loss, it was not much.

But the bad news is that for the Sea Princess, something even more terrifying happened, because this cultivation and power that originally belonged to her was losing control.

Just like she didn't understand why the sea was rejecting and resisting her before.

The Sea Princess also doesn't understand now why her cultivation isn't operating according to her will.

At the Sea Princess's chest, a pearl with a water-blue color flowing with gorgeous golden light gradually appeared and took shape.

Mermaid's tears are the most precious pearls on Douluo Star, and they contain the purest spiritual energy from the mermaid race.

Although there are many colorful legends about them, their essence is due to the mermaid race's tendency to dissipate their vitality and spiritual energy from their bodies.

Even if they can recover this energy flowing out of their bodies after extreme sadness, it is still an inherent flaw that the mermaid race cannot hide.

After all, the reason why the mermaid race can easily integrate their spiritual power into the sea, thereby manipulating the sea currents and water elements, is also due to the derivation of this characteristic.

There are advantages and disadvantages, which led to the Sea Princess's racial weakness being exploited by Huo Yuhao.

If the energy in other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts is difficult to exploit and utilize, then the mermaid race can be considered an unlocked treasure.

Accompanied by the formation of this mermaid's tear, mixed with the Sea Princess's cultivation power and spiritual origin,

In a short period of time, the Sea Princess's own cultivation directly fell by one hundred thousand years.

At this time, Huo Yuhao also stopped chanting the incantation in his mouth, and the Sea Princess also felt that the extreme pain from the bottom of her heart finally subsided.

And seeing the golden pearl in Huo Yuhao's hand, even if she had any hatred and resentment in her heart, the Sea Princess could only tremble and say with a bit of crying: "Despicable human!"

"I suggest you better not talk to me like that, after all, I'm not a devil."

Huo Yuhao put away the golden pearl in his hand after applying several layers of restrictions, and said.

"I'm not a water-attribute soul master either. You should have seen just now that my own attribute is pure spiritual attribute."

"If I just wanted to squeeze the value out of you, I only need to extract your spiritual origin, not your soul power cultivation."

"For me, doing this is not troublesome at all."

Listening to Huo Yuhao's flat words without any change in tone, the Sea Princess knew that what he said was true, but the fear in her heart was even greater.

"Xuedi and the others should have already reached the depths of the Ice Sea. Without the fierce beasts to defend, and with only one-third of the main clansmen left, the mermaid race can't stop the powerhouses of the Far North."

"Our mermaid race has always been on good terms with the Far North. What exactly do you want to do! Moreover, my clan has worshiped the Sea God for generations. Aren't you afraid of being condemned by God?!" The Sea Princess said in disbelief.

She didn't expect that the Far North would be so ruthless. Could it be that they wouldn't even give them a way out?

Even if the Ice God might be helping the Far North behind the scenes, wouldn't they consider the Sea God's face at all?

Just looking at Huo Yuhao's calm eyes, as if he was not touched at all, the Sea Princess felt as if she had suddenly calmed down.

"For me, killing the mermaid race is not the most suitable result. As long as you cooperate, there is naturally a way out. I have other arrangements for you."

"As for the part of your cultivation that you lost, I am going to use it to save your daughter, that mermaid princess with about one hundred and ten thousand years of cultivation."

"During the process of extracting energy just now, you should also be able to feel the damage your body has suffered. Guess what will happen to a mermaid princess with only one hundred and ten thousand years of cultivation?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao mention her daughter, the Sea Princess became agitated again, but she barely controlled herself, thinking about the meaning of Huo Yuhao's words.

Huo Yuhao was right, she was seriously injured, so the best result for her daughter would be near death.

And if she could get some of her origin power to nourish her, then at least her daughter would not have too many sequelae.

Thinking of this, the Sea Princess looked at Huo Yuhao with some incomprehension. From beginning to end, she seemed unable to keep up with this human's train of thought.

What does he want to do? What does he want to do? What will he do?

Huo Yuhao did not continue to talk to her, but stepped away from this place.

With the ice pillar formation formed by absolute zero ice elements, the Sea Princess's soul power, vitality, and spiritual power were carefully isolated.

Moreover, once the amount she recovers on her own exceeds the threshold set by Huo Yuhao, then this formation will extract the excess energy and transmit it to the Ice Dragon Spirit to strengthen the elemental tide.

This is just Huo Yuhao's initial arrangement for the Sea Princess and the others.

As for the next step, it will have to wait until Bingdi and Xuedi take down the remaining mermaid race in the Ice Sea.

In another ice-sealed space under the Ice Palace, the Sea Princess's daughter, the Crown Mermaid who came with her to conquer the Far North, was not in good condition at this time.

As a mermaid race that is good at spiritual power, their own achievements in physical body are not strong enough, and the transformation of energy does not start from the physical body first.

Therefore, unlike the Sea Princess with deep cultivation and other hundred-thousand-year fierce beasts with thick skin and flesh, she can be said to be the hundred-thousand-year soul beast that was most severely injured under absolute zero.

The originally deep blue fishtail was now covered with large patches of black, the skin was no longer as radiant as before, and the breath was faint.

Unlike the restrictions set to suppress the Sea Princess's recovery, Huo Yuhao did not add much control to this Crown Mermaid.

Then, with the injuries she suffered, the spiritual power, soul power, and vitality in her body were likely to be exhausted at any time.

However, after Huo Yuhao appeared and threw the golden pearl produced by the Sea Princess to her.

The originally extremely serious injuries on this Crown Mermaid's body recovered and healed at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time as she recovered, Huo Yuhao also controlled the magic circle that originally maintained the other party's vitality and began to change.

Forming a formation similar to the Sea Princess, although the level of restriction was slightly worse, the function was completely the same.

Before the other party woke up, Huo Yuhao left here, because at this time, other fierce beasts and hundred-thousand-year soul beasts began to show signs of waking up one after another.

Huo Yuhao also had to go to the field to monitor in order to prevent unexpected situations from happening.
