Chapter 77: Nine-tailed demon, ice explosion technique shows its power!
Hu Bai thought for a moment. With his current soul power and cultivation, it would indeed be very difficult to annihilate all the remaining Soul Beasts at once.
Although he possesses Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire attributes, he can only unleash their strongest power when his soul power is sufficient!
He had already consumed quite a bit just now.
"Alright."
Hu Bai didn't hesitate much. The three of them held hands and began to perform their Fusion.
Tianmeng: Holy crap! A three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Tianmeng Iceworm felt like he had found a treasure trove!
The fusion process for the three was incredibly swift, and they quickly merged into the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon.
Bibi Dong and Dugu Bo watched the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon with great interest, curious about how he would confront the enemy.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling immediately began to absorb their first soul ring.
Pink light emanated from the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon's eyes. The moment he successfully fused, he emitted an extremely eerie red mist from his body. However, he didn't swing his moon blade to attack.
To be honest, Hu Bai doesn't like close combat.
He controls many elemental forces and can function as a long-range bombardment mage.
However, he cannot neglect his close-combat abilities, as he needs to guard against sudden attacks. Close-combat practice can greatly improve his reaction speed.
The reason he enjoys lightning tempering, besides wanting to increase the soul ring's endurance limit as much as possible, is to create a better layer of protection for himself.
But now...
With Extreme attributes, why would he need to think so much?
Just charge in!
The Nine-Tailed Charm Demon's lips curved slightly, and he put away the moon blade in his hand, a hint of icy Qi emanating from his palm.
When he gained the ability to control Extreme Ice, besides thinking of the Ice Domain, he also thought of a Soul Skill: Ice Explosion!
Although this is the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's innate Soul Skill, and he doesn't have the corresponding Soul Bone or soul ring reliance, he still wanted to try!
With his control over elements, could he not use it?
He knows the principle of Ice Explosion: a large-scale Extreme Cold Domain, followed by the explosion of the ice, where the exploding ice shards inflict explosive damage on Soul Beasts.
Of course, this is his own understanding. Since he doesn't possess the Soul Skill to use Ice Explosion, he needs a prerequisite: learning a range-based Ice Domain.
And coincidentally, he can!
Just as the Soul Beasts roared and began their assault, a tiny ice crystal from the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon's hand fell to the ground.
Ice Domain — Winter is Coming!
Instantly, a large area in front of Hu Bai completely froze in the blink of an eye. All the Soul Beasts were covered in thick ice crystals from frostbite. Except for the nine-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, which was only frozen from the waist down, the rest of the Soul Beasts were completely frozen!
"Explode—"
The Nine-Tailed Charm Demon extended his right hand straight out, forming a pistol shape. Bong!
Suddenly, the frozen area in front of the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon instantly exploded!
Ice Explosion! How is this possible! This little guy can actually use the innate Soul Skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan! No, no, no...
Tianmeng quickly noticed the anomaly. While it looked very similar to Ice Explosion, it was actually a bit different.
Having observed until now, Tianmeng Iceworm was completely impressed by Hu Bai's comprehension ability. He couldn't hold back anymore!
Bibi Dong was very satisfied with the power displayed by the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon, while Dugu Bo's eyes widened with shock.
He was already extremely surprised when the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon fused.
A three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
On the continent, there was actually a second instance of a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
The first was the Golden Iron Triangle, once renowned across the continent, but this group had disappeared from the continent a few years ago. Dugu Bo only knew that Liu Erlong, one of them—the Slaughtering Corner of Golden Iron Triangle—had opened a Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City. As for Flender and Yu Xiaogang, he didn't know and wasn't interested.
The reason he knew Liu Erlong went to Heaven Dou City to open an academy was because her Blue Tyrant Academy was a commoner's academy. Daring to open a commoner's academy in Heaven Dou City, full of noble families, caused quite a stir at the time.
Later, it was rumored that the dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy was Liu Erlong, and only then did some unruly princes and noble scions stop causing trouble.
Oh no, those who caused trouble were beaten by Liu Erlong!
But they could only swallow this grievance themselves.
Because Liu Erlong was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they couldn't afford to offend her!
Although Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, this news was unknown to most outsiders, except for a very small number of people.
Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong would have long been looked down upon by outsiders.
"Supreme Pontiff, these three little fellows actually possess a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill? What is its name?" Dugu Bo was genuinely curious.
Bibi Dong said indifferently, "Nine-Tailed Charm Demon. The future achievements of these three little fellows will definitely surpass those of their parents!"
Xie Tian and Hu Leyao watched silently from the side, a relieved smile on their faces.
Bibi Dong's words were the greatest praise for them!
The destructive power just displayed by the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon was comparable to the strongest attack of a high-level Soul King!
Actually, Dugu Bo felt that Hu Bai and the others probably hadn't unleashed their strongest power yet, as their current soul power was too low to sustain the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon for very long.
Even now, the three had already ended their fusion state, and their faces were somewhat pale—clearly indicating that their soul power was almost exhausted.
"Phew~" Xie Yue let out a long breath, looking at Hu Bai curiously. "Second Brother, what's the name of that move? Its power is immense!"
"Yeah, yeah, Second Brother, have you named this move?" Hu Liena asked.
Hu Bai nodded. "Mm, I'll call it Ice Explosion!"
Tianmeng: ???
A coincidence?
"It's just a pity that our cultivation is too low right now. I feel like the power of Extreme Ice wasn't fully unleashed, and then our soul power ran out. We still need to increase our strength as quickly as possible," Hu Bai sighed.
Dugu Bo: Look at what you're saying— is that even human language?
Dugu Bo felt Hu Bai simply couldn't be called human; he was a monster!
Hu Bai stepped forward slightly to check, but no Soul Bone was produced. What a shame.
Hu Bai wasn't sure if it was because the Soul Beasts were too shattered by the Ice Blast, causing their Soul Bones to break as well, or if they simply didn't have any Soul Bones to begin with.
Of course, Hu Bai leaned more towards the latter; Soul Bones aren't that easy to damage.
As for the few ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts trapped on the periphery by Bibi Dong's Killing Intent, upon feeling the pressure emanating from her and then looking at the battlefield, they immediately fled.
Hu Bai and the other two sat cross-legged and began to recover their soul power.
Just then, Hu Bai heard a voice in his Spiritual Sea: "Kid, I am a million-year Soul Beast. I've taken a liking to you and want to be your wisdom soul ring. Are you interested?"
