Chapter 121: The First Soul Ring
The mermaid Liya's spirit rings remain the same as in her previous life, with spirit ring skills being Mermaid Duet and Mermaid Tears. Mermaid Duet can directly double the effect of Huo Yuhao's mental spirit skills. However, this does not include the destiny spirit skill awakened by the Eye of Destiny.
Mermaid Tears is a status skill. When Huo Yuhao is in a state of great sorrow or joy, this soul skill will merge into his tears and be naturally activated. As for the specific effects, they are not engraved in the soul ring information and will only be revealed after Huo Yuhao uses it for the first time.
The Soul Bone also contains two Soul Skills: Mermaid Control and Mermaid Domain.
Although Mermaid Control is a supportive soul skill, its effects are immense. When necessary, it can unleash the spirit of the mermaid, which is Liya herself, to actively control Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye soul skill and instinctively help him release additional soul skills, while halving the mental energy consumption. However, she can only control those mental-type soul skills; she still cannot use the soul skills awakened by the Eye of Destiny.
The Mermaid Domain, on the other hand, is a mind control domain. Its effects are similar to Tianmeng's mind manipulation, but it employs a more insidious method, achieving its seductive control through sound. This characteristic is one of the signature techniques of both the Mermaid and Siren races.
On the high seas, countless humans and sea spirit beasts have perished from this soul skill wielded by the sea monsters. They use their beautiful voices to control and bewitch minds, luring them to their side before killing them.
This soul skill somewhat compensates for a weakness in Huo Yuhao's control abilities. Most of the mental control soul skills added by Tianmeng mainly rely on mental chains and direct confrontation, while this sound control can serve as a supplement.
"Basically, it's pretty much the same." Huo Yuhao muttered softly, focusing his consciousness on the fourth ability of the Eye of Destiny martial soul awakening.
The fusion of the Skull of Destiny and the Eye of Destiny awakens a new ability: Mental Deprivation. This ability is undefendable, only evasive; once hit, all mental defenses will be rendered ineffective. After sublimation, spiritual defenses will temporarily fail. This soul skill was possessed in his previous life as the second soul skill of the Emperor Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul ring. However, in this life, with the awakening of the Eye of Destiny's intuition, the sacrifice of the auspicious beast is no longer necessary.
Huo Yuhao, with his Eye of Destiny soul skill, could foresee that what he cared about most was the Ice Extreme Three-Life Flower soul ring attached to the Ice Jade Dragon Emperor Scorpion martial soul.
Strictly speaking, the third spirit ring is the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass spirit ring, and its spirit skills are exactly the same as in the previous life: Eight-Cornered Omnidirectional Thrust and Eight-Cornered Icefield Condensation. One is an offensive spirit skill, and the other is a domain-type amplification spirit skill. After the bloodline amplification, both spirit skills also underwent a minor transformation.
The soul power required to unleash the Octagonal Omnidirectional Spikes was reduced to one-third of its original amount, and it could be used anywhere within the Octagonal Icefield Condensation Domain. The Octagonal Icefield Condensation Domain gained a very powerful auxiliary function: any ice-attribute creature standing within this domain could have its quality upgraded to the same level as the Ice Jade Scorpion.
Even if a Title Douluo were to arrive, Huo Yuhao could use the same methods as Ling Luochen to enhance the quality of a martial soul without any contact. Just like the Azure Fox Douluo before him, Huo Yuhao could upgrade his martial soul to a level combining ultimate ice and wind attributes if he wished.
As Huo Yuhao had expected, the spirit skill attached to this spirit ring was also present. He directly integrated his consciousness into the fourth spirit ring and began to observe the spirit skill within it.
The fourth soul ring of the 300,000-year-old Ice Extreme Three-Life Flower possesses two soul skills, both closely related to the Ice Jade Dragon Emperor Scorpion martial soul. The first soul skill is the Three-Life Flower Seal, which is activated by rotating the soul ring. The soul seal on the target will add an extreme attribute to one's martial soul.
If the Ice God Flower is aimed at you, it will increase your ultimate light attribute; if the Ice Lotus is aimed at you, it will add the ultimate lightning attribute. If the Double-Petaled Lily mark is aimed at you, it will add the ultimate darkness attribute. As your spirit rings rotate, your spirit attribute will also change accordingly, switching between ice and light, ice and lightning, and ice and darkness.
The change in attributes will also alter the effects of other soul skills, greatly increasing offensive and defensive capabilities in battle. Against unfamiliar enemies, this could lead to significant losses and even death.
The second soul skill of the Three Lifetimes Flower Soul Ring is called Three Lifetimes Reincarnation: A Single Thought Blossoms. This soul skill is an offensive soul skill, but it comes with three attribute effects. It is cast using ice flowers, with the light attribute bringing about a turn of fortune, and it also has a fire attribute effect. Although it is not the ultimate, it has its own unique effect. The lightning attribute evolves into tribulation light. Lightning tribulation is a terrifying means of killing for any living being.
The dark attribute will evolve into the poison and death attributes, which are the most insidious methods. Where the petals bloom, deathly silence will follow.
"Is this an ice-attribute spirit ring?" Huo Yuhao frowned, exclaiming in amazement. After the Eight-Cornered Demon fully awakened, the spirit ring attached to him had fundamentally changed his martial soul. Each time the spirit ring rotated, it could add an attribute to his martial soul and change the ability of his second spirit skill. He had never heard of or seen such a method before.
"This spirit ring feels more like it belongs to the Evil Eye clan. The Evil Eye's attributes are mixed, but the purer they are, the stronger they become. This spirit ring, however, does the opposite, with more and more attributes stacked up, making its abilities more and more comprehensive." Ice Emperor pondered seriously. She also had a concept in her mind: if this fourth spirit ring were to rotate to its limit, would the Ice Jade Dragon Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul simultaneously gain the three attributes of light, darkness, and lightning, becoming a light-dark-ice-lightning attribute?
"And this poison attribute... It's unimaginable that a celestial herb could evolve into a poison attribute." Tianmeng was also comprehending the mysteries of the fourth soul ring. After thinking carefully for a while, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's probably the attribute of the Rakshasa Divine Armor that infected the Eight-Cornered Origin."
"The Rakshasa God and the Angel God are mother and daughter, and their blood has a special connection, which adds the attributes of light and darkness to the origin of the Eight Trigrams. The tribulation light is the hidden power of the tribulation lightning of the Eight Trigrams, which contains all these attributes in the ice crystal. If we continue down this path, we may be able to create the Chaos Ice."
Tianmeng was still speculating when Bingdi interrupted him, saying calmly, "Octagonal is a celestial herb, not Blue Silver Grass. It can adapt to any attribute. Light, Dark, and Lightning are already the results of selection. Otherwise, why wouldn't it solidify derivative attributes like Holy, Curse, and Death into its bloodline? If what you say is true, Octagonal might even become a Chaos Celestial Herb. Eating just one would directly grant one the rank of God-King."
"That's true. Think about the Golden Silver Blue Silver Grass later on. Is it still Blue Silver Grass? We might as well just rename it Golden Silver Dragon King." Tianmeng answered seriously, not delving into the issue further.
The Eight-Cornered Star Soul Ring is the true Immortal Herb Soul Ring. Attribute compatibility? Non-existent. Bloodline compatibility? Even less so. Whoever wears it will become stronger, whoever fuses with it will gain three more attributes, all of them ultimate attributes. Only then can it be worthy of its status as a divine-level immortal herb.
"Yuhao, there's also a soul bone, take a look quickly." Bingdi reminded Huo Yuhao, her consciousness first entering the left leg bone, and upon seeing it, she was once again amazed.
The first soul skill of the 300,000-year-old Ice Extreme Three-Life Flower was still so familiar; it was called Ultimate Ice Amplification. After being used, it could triple the effectiveness of Huo Yuhao's ice-attribute attacks and reduce the soul power consumed by the soul skill by 50%. If the Eight-Cornered Ice Plains Soul Condensation Skill was stacked on top of it, the consumption of ice-attribute soul skills in Huo Yuhao's state would be reduced to one-third of the original, and the recovery effect of ice-attribute soul power would be doubled, greatly improving his ability to sustain combat.
The second soul skill is called the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Abyss-Splitting Slash. The most distinctive feature of this soul skill is that it is based on ice, with random additional attributes. It could be one, three, or even six. But no matter how many, it has extremely powerful destructive force.
"This shouldn't be called the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Abyss Slash, it should be called Goddess of Luck Bless Me." Tianmeng complained. If she was incredibly lucky when she used this soul skill, the Abyss Slash would be imbued with seven attributes: light, darkness, ice, lightning, fire, poison, and tribulation. Such a chaotic attribute attack would have the highest elemental repulsion force, and the chaos would bring about an extreme explosion. With one strike, even the soul might not be left.
