Two Soul Rings, Ice Pill in Motion
Di Tian turned his gaze once more toward Xue Nu. He was still extremely curious about this special existence that could preserve a soul beast's consciousness and be born in such a strange form.
However, when he looked over, Xue Nu also tilted her small head and looked back at him with innocent curiosity.
Because her spiritual consciousness was sealed, Xue Nu did not recognize Di Tian at all.
Di Tian quickly noticed this and asked with some confusion:
"My Lord, why doesn't the Snow Girl recognize me?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and explained:
"That's because when the Snow Girl merged with me, her spiritual consciousness was sealed together with her origin power. As she grows and becomes stronger, that seal will naturally be lifted. When the time comes, she will regain all of her memories."
After hearing Yuhao's explanation, a look of astonishment appeared on Di Tian's face. He then asked again:
"Will this situation occur with other soul beasts that transform into Spirits as well?"
"Of course not."
Yuhao shook his head.
"Even among Spirits, the Snow Girl is the most powerful and the most special existence. This is not only because she is a seven-hundred-thousand-year soul beast king, but also because her birth involved the fusion of multiple top-tier powers, including mine, Elder Yi's, Tianmeng's, and yours."
"That's good."
Di Tian finally let out a breath of relief.
If all soul beasts that transformed into Spirits lost their memories during the process, that would not be good news for the soul beast race. Compared to Spirits with complete consciousness, many human soul masters would likely prefer obedient Spirits that only knew how to follow commands.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time."
Yuhao gently patted Xue Nu's small head and then looked at Di Tian.
"Return the Snow Empress' power that you devoured earlier back to this little one."
"But be careful. Don't release all of it at once."
"The Snow Girl is still essentially part of my own power. If the energy you release exceeds the limit my body can withstand, I'll be in serious trouble."
"Don't worry, my Lord."
Di Tian responded immediately.
Yuhao nodded slightly, then shrugged and motioned for the little Snow Girl to come down from his shoulder.
"Little one, it's time to eat."
It was unclear whether she truly understood what "eating" meant, but the little Snow Girl still stood up obediently with a soft "squeak."
On the opposite side, Di Tian began to release the Snow Empress' power that he had previously swallowed.
Boom!
In an instant, the aura of ice and snow spread in all directions. The surrounding environment seemed to transform into the Extreme North, and the temperature plummeted sharply.
Yet neither Yuhao nor Xue Nu felt any discomfort at all.
After all, both of them were masters of ice and snow.
"Yiya!"
The little Snow Girl let out a joyful cry, then opened her small cherry-like mouth and sucked hard.
Like a dragon drawing in water, the vast power of ice and snow in the air was rapidly swallowed by her.
Yuhao immediately sensed that Xue Nu's aura was becoming stronger and more solid.
"Continue."
Di Tian did not reply verbally, but he continued to release the Snow Empress' power steadily.
Xue Nu, on the other hand, was like a bottomless pit, accepting every strand of her former power without rejection.
In just a few breaths of time, the little Snow Girl's body visibly grew larger.
If she had looked like a three- or four-year-old little loli before, she now appeared to be at least five or six years old.
At the same time, Yuhao felt a clear reaction within his body. He immediately released his Ice Emperor Dragon Emperor Scorpion martial soul.
After fusing with the Snow Empress, this martial soul had undergone another transformation.
The cold aura contained within it became even more terrifying.
Ultimate Ice had officially evolved into Ultimate Ice and Snow.
However, Yuhao did not focus on this change. Instead, his attention was drawn to the second soul ring that was slowly condensing beneath his feet.
It was an orange-gold soul ring—something that had never appeared in the Douluo Continent before.
As the Snow Girl continuously devoured her former power, this orange-gold soul ring grew more and more solid, clearly indicating that its strength was still rising.
After some time, the orange-gold soul ring suddenly emitted a dazzling golden radiance, signifying that it had reached its current limit.
But the process did not end there.
As Xue Nu continued to swallow and absorb power, a second orange-gold soul ring slowly began to take shape beneath Yuhao's feet.
The Snow Empress' origin was simply too vast.
Even for Yuhao, a single soul ring was far from enough to fully contain all of her power.
During the condensation of the second orange-gold soul ring, Xue Nu's appearance also changed rapidly.
From the age of seven or eight, she grew to eleven or twelve, and by the time the second orange-gold soul ring had completely solidified, she had transformed into a sixteen-year-old少女.
The unique beauty of the Snow Empress—pure, ethereal, and transcendent—was fully revealed once more.
At the same time, a trace of coldness returned to her previously innocent eyes.
Yuhao immediately understood.
The Snow Girl had regained her memories.
She had once again become the proud and aloof Snow Empress.
Although Yuhao was not particularly happy about this development, he did not say anything.
After all, the little Snow Girl had always been the Snow Empress.
What surprised him slightly was that when the Snow Empress looked at him, there was a faint hint of embarrassment in her gaze.
"Sure enough," Yuhao muttered to himself, "the older you get, the less cute you become."
He ignored her reaction and turned his attention back to Di Tian, preparing to ask him to stop.
By now, the Snow Empress' origin power had been completely integrated into Yuhao's body, and he could clearly feel that he had reached his current limit.
Yes, unlike the original timeline where only two orange-gold soul rings were formed through the Snow Empress' power, this did not mean Yuhao had failed to inherit her full strength.
On the contrary, with his astonishing physique and two orange-gold soul rings, he had already gained the essence of the Snow Empress' three ultimate skills and the authority of the strongest Ice and Snow Emperor.
"Di Tian, stop—wait a moment!"
Yuhao was just about to tell Di Tian to halt when an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
The Ice and Fire Pills that had long been dormant within Yuhao's body began to operate on their own.
They no longer released the violent extremes of ice and fire. Instead, they began to devour the Snow Empress' power that Di Tian was releasing.
This instantly delighted Yuhao.
Originally, the Snow Empress had already reached the limit of what his body could bear. Even though Yuhao was reluctant, he had planned to let Di Tian absorb the remaining power.
But now, the Ice and Fire Pills had begun swallowing it on their own.
More precisely, it was the Ice Pill that was acting.
Since entering his body, Yuhao had never been able to actively control the Ice and Fire Pills.
They only continuously released power to temper his physique.
"I just don't know whether the Ice Pill is assimilating the Snow Empress' power directly, or storing it for me to use later."
Yuhao rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
But regardless of the answer, this was far better than letting Di Tian absorb it.
So Yuhao immediately said:
"Di Tian, don't stop. Continue releasing the Snow Empress' power."
Although Di Tian was confused, he obeyed Yuhao's command without hesitation.
The Snow Empress, who was about to speak, suddenly felt an even purer and more terrifying aura of extreme ice surge out from Yuhao's body.
This level of Ultimate Ice was actually higher than the Ultimate Ice and Snow she had formed after merging with the Ice Empress.
Her heart trembled violently.
Only now did she realize that the terrifying talent Yuhao had displayed earlier was not even the entirety of his potential.
"How many abilities does this guy still have hidden?"
