In the depths of the Aquipeia Forest...
At this moment, several ferocious beasts, including Di Tian, all had their eyes fixed on the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating in front of them, especially Bear Lord, whose entire bear face looked extremely gloomy...
The figure was none other than Huo Yuhao!
Thanks to the boost from the Lake of Life in his cultivation, he had reached the bottleneck of Level 49 and was close to becoming a Soul King of Level 50.
The Skydream Ice Silkworm, which was closest to him, looked at the former and said, "It shouldn't take much longer for him to break through, Yuhao's soul power is already filled to the brim; now all that's needed is a final push to break the limit!"
"Tianmeng, once Yuhao breaks through to the Soul King of Level 50, Di Tian will surely have Bear Lord make a sacrifice. How confident are you that you can be successful?"
If they failed, they, including Huo Yuhao, might all die here!
Hearing this, the Skydream Ice Silkworm's expression gradually became serious, "I only have a fifty percent chance, preserving its sentience and transforming it into a Spirit Soul is only my speculation..."
Di Tian, who was standing behind them, heard the Skydream Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor having their secret discussion and said coldly, "What are you whispering about?"
Hearing Di Tian's voice, the Ice Emperor and the Skydream Ice Silkworm were slightly alarmed and a bit guilty, they replied, "No... nothing."
The Thousand Demon King, who was behind Di Tian, saw the Ice Emperor and Skydream Ice Silkworm shuffling about and frowned, "I always feel that something is not quite right!"
Bi Ji, with worrisome eyes, looked towards the Ice Emperor and said, "Trust in the Ice Emperor. After all, he has already successfully become that child's Spirit Soul."
While they were talking, a "buzzing" sound emitted from Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged, as a massive soul power vortex began to appear around him...
The next moment, only to see, Huo Yuhao's entire body shook, and the soul power fluctuation of a Soul King spread out around him...
Huo Yuhao had successfully broken through to become a Soul King of Level 50!
His pale blue eyes slowly opened and looked towards the Skydream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor beside him...
He said, "Brother Tianmeng, Ice Emperor, I've broken through to the Soul King!"
The Skydream Ice Silkworm smiled and replied, "Congratulations, Yuhao, you have finally broken through to become a Soul King."
The Ice Emperor, with his eyes on Di Tian and others, reminded Huo Yuhao, "But you can't relax just yet, Yuhao. Now is when the hardest part begins."
Di Tian's eyes narrowed as he said coldly, "Since the breakthrough has been made, let's get started right away, Bear Lord."
Bear Lord, looking quite ugly, retorted, "Boss, making a sacrifice for such a weak soul master, I'm not convinced!"
A hint of pity flashed in Di Tian's eyes as he responded coldly, "Bear Lord, I know you are reluctant, but this is the only chance you have to survive! It's better than being annihilated by the heavenly tribulation!"
Bear Lord, looking into Di Tian's expressive eyes, clenched his teeth and said, "I understand!"
The next moment, it directed its gaze towards the seemingly insignificant figure of Huo Yuhao below and closed its eyes...
As soon as Bear Lord began the sacrifice, its massive body erupted into a terrifying light...
And then, a spinning crimson hundred-thousand-year soul ring rose slowly from beneath its feet...
When the crimson-glowing soul ring rose above Bear Lord's head, its pupils dilated, and it instantly lost all signs of life, collapsing powerlessly to the ground with a "bang"...
The Skydream Ice Silkworm said anxiously, "Yuhao! Now's the time! Otherwise, it will be troublesome once its soul dissipates!"
Huo Yuhao came to his senses and quickly pulled the hundred-thousand-year soul ring that Bear Lord sacrificed in front of him and began to absorb it once again while sitting cross-legged...
Meanwhile, the Skydream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness immediately used its powerful spiritual power to wrap around Bear Lord's soul, preventing it from dissipating...
...
The Divine Realm!
The place where the foreign world storm was frozen!
Tang San, with sweat beading on his forehead, looked intently ahead, continuously using Divine Power to unleash a faint trickle of sea water infused with Life Force...
```
Observing from the sidelines, Qian Renxue's eyes sharpened as she stared at the embryo bathed by the seawater, radiating a green glow all over...
This embryo was what remained after Xu Sheng's death, a few strands of Life Force that had absorbed power and transformed...
Qian Renxue, full of hope, said, "This Life Force has already formed this embryo, and it might take some time before it could possibly transform into a human form."
Next to her, Hulena blinked her beautiful eyes, puzzled as she said, "Ren Xue, do you think this embryo could transform into a young Xu Sheng and then need to absorb sufficient Life Force to continue transforming?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help coughing a few times, then spoke seriously, "That's not impossible!"
Hulena smacked her lips, quietly comforting, "I was just speculating, Ren Xue, don't take it seriously."
Qian Renxue shook her head, "It's okay, I had the same guess in mind initially."
Seeing that Qian Renxue wasn't bothered by it, Hulena finally breathed a sigh of relief...
What she had just mentioned was a relatively positive possibility, she hadn't even voiced the worse scenario yet...
If this embryo were to transform into the young Xu Sheng and then stop transforming, that would be...
Hiss...
Such a thought was extremely horrifying!
Perhaps it would mean Qian Renxue would have to experience raising a child all over again...
…
Within the Holy Spirit Cult, specifically in the chamber reserved for transforming into evil Soul Masters...
On the experiment platform, Qian Yu's palms suddenly began to tremble...
The Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper by his side slightly raised his eyebrows, inwardly shocked as he thought, "I used the Nightmare Martial Soul and even more drugs to control him, I didn't expect him to wake up so soon."
Or could it be this guy's willpower is too strong!
No effect on him?
With that thought, the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper slowly approached Qian Yu, and untied the cloth binding his eyes...
Suddenly, Qian Yu's eyes, showcasing a cold demeanor, snapped open...
He abruptly stood up, reaching out and grabbing the neck of the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper...
The Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper's pupils contracted as he felt a colossal force crazily crushing his neck...
He struggled to utter a difficult sound, "Cough cough... Ah ah ah!"
At once, nine soul rings exploded from beneath the feet of the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper, and he released an entity behind him shrouded with countless black mists yet lacking any physical form...
Following that, his third soul ring lit up...
The Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper, grasped by Qian Yu's neck, instantly turned into black mist and dispersed...
The black mist gradually reappeared in the background, converging back into the body of the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper...
He began to breathe heavily, his gaze chilling as he stared at the Qian Yu in front of him, radiating a cold killing intent, and thought to himself, "It seems like it was a success!"
He bent down and with an ominous tone, said, "Congratulations on joining the Holy Spirit Cult, Netherworld Holy Son."
Qian Yu's eyes focused, a surge of evil aura violently rushed toward the Holy Spirit Cult Worshipper as he said in a cold voice, "Netherworld Holy Son?"
From the beginning, he knew that Tang Ya had been controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult, and the latter's ability to wound him and put him into a coma was completely intentional...
Otherwise, with a level-99 Ultimate Douluo woman present, he would have had no chance to save Tang Ya...
