Chapter 496 Let the cold wind from the far north blow to the stars
If a soul master wants to obtain a soul ring, a soul beast must lose its life, whether it is hunted by the soul master himself, or the soul beast takes the initiative to sacrifice it.
Previously, the Snow Emperor briefly described the characteristics and process of the wisdom soul ring, that is, after the sacrifice, through the huge mental power of Tianmeng and Huo Yuhao, the soul beast with a certain level of mental power can retain its consciousness.
Generally speaking, the mental power of a hundred thousand year soul beast can be retained and avoided being completely absorbed by Huo Yuhao.
But this process will still cause irreversible damage to the soul beast itself. Although most of the power can be retained in the form of mental power, as the body itself dies and is reshaped, a considerable part of the power will be lost with the soul bone. Lost and precipitated.
The long-term benefits of becoming Huo Yuhao's wisdom soul ring are not easy to see, but the short-term side effects are real.
Not only is the inherent concept of being a soul beast itself, this is also the main reason why the Ghost Snow Leopard and the Titan Snow Demon King refuse to accept the Snow Emperor's plan, but also because of their dignity as strong soul beasts, they cannot hand over their lives to someone. This is the first time a human being meets, even if he is chosen by the Snow Emperor.
Only Ice Bear King Xiaobai, a big fool who obeyed the Snow Emperor, was willing to trust her unconditionally.
Huo Yuhao also knew the reason for their refusal. Among the hundred thousand year soul beasts in the inner circle, only Xiaobai was about to reach the next great catastrophe. The other hundred thousand year soul beasts were not so anxious about the great catastrophe. , will not choose this all-or-nothing path easily.
Therefore, he has to adopt different methods according to the different situations of these soul beasts.
Huo Yuhao stretched out his right index finger and made a long gesture from left to right in front of him: "It's very simple, you still sacrifice to me..."
The ghost snow leopard remained calm. It guessed that this human being was not that simple, and might actually be able to provide some feasible solution, otherwise there was no need to waste words with them.
Huo Yuhao's right index finger suddenly froze while he was stroking, indicating that the process was suspended.
"But when you are halfway through the sacrifice, we will stop the process at the same time. Because I only need your soul rings, not your soul bones."
"To be precise, it's the natal soul skills brought by your soul rings. I don't even really need the age of the soul rings."
"In this way, you don't need to go through the process of giving up your body at all. All your soul power, mental power, life, and soul can be retained." He said confidently.
But Huo Yuhao's downplaying process was met with denial by Ghost Snow Leopard.
It immediately retorted: "How is it possible? Once the sacrifice starts, it cannot be stopped. Do you think this can be done just by talking?"
Huo Yuhao smiled softly, took off the goggles on his eyes, and walked up to the ghost snow leopard.
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Huo Yuhao. I am currently at level seventy-five. My first martial soul, Demon Eye, has one wisdom soul ring. My second martial soul, Ultimate Ice, has three wisdom soul rings. It is also ice. The owner of the Emperor and Snow Emperor’s wisdom soul rings.”
"I've been through the sacrificial process four times and know more about it than anyone else on the continent."
His words were not only addressed to the Ghost Snow Leopard, but also to the Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King Xiaobai.
Soul Saint?
The ghostly snow leopard was confused.
He has shown so many soul rings before, is he actually a soul saint?
But this makes sense, otherwise how could a person have double-digit soul rings.
At this moment, a noble aura suddenly came, causing the ghost snow leopard to look at Huo Yuhao warily again.
Behind him, an old man in gray robes appeared at some point. The old man didn't seem to have any soul power fluctuations, but he brought a stronger sense of weirdness than Huo Yuhao.
"Don't worry, based on my understanding of souls, what you call a sacrifice is actually, in a sense, an unequal contract established between soul beasts and humans, unilaterally paid by the soul beasts."
"It's also a contract. I can replace or improve it with another relatively fair and reasonable contract."
It was Electrolux who spoke.
He has also fully experienced the process of Huo Yuhao's four wisdom soul rings so far, plus the last crucial link of Long Jiujiu, allowing Electrolux to complete a comprehensive analysis of the soul ring system in this world. For this success Have full confidence.
"I and Yuhao are 99% sure that changing the form of the sacrifice will not have any side effects on you."
"Then what about 0.10%?"
Electrolux chuckled and said: "Even if we make a mistake and you lose your body, I can use soul magic to pull your soul back."
The ghost snow leopard fell into silence.
From the beginning, the other party has been using terms that it seems to understand but not understanding, and it is nothing more than trying to persuade it to join their plan.
But in fact, the ghost snow leopard didn't care at all what the other party said. Even if the other party really wanted to deceive it, it believed that the Snow Emperor would not harm it intentionally.
But this is its nature. The ghost snow leopards are not good at strength and defense. The only thing they are good at is speed. Coupled with their cautious and cautious nature, they can thrive on this arctic ice sheet.
It hesitated. Before Snow Emperor and Huo Yuhao said anything, Ice Emperor became impatient.
"Abao, are you going to join or not? Can you make decisions as fast as you do?"
"We chose you because, apart from Artai and Xiaobai, you have the highest cultivation level, and your attributes can also complement Yuhao's shortcomings. The success rate is higher, but it doesn't have to be you. "
"If you and Atai don't agree, we will find other soul beasts."
Ice Bear King Xiaobai interjected: "Since Ah Bao and Artai both agree, let me be the first to do it."
"No, you're older than me, so I'll come first." The ghost snow leopard finally agreed. It stopped Xiaobai and looked back at the Snow Emperor, "The Snow Emperor was also kind to me, even if she cheated Me, I also choose to believe in her, and I also believe that you will not harm me."
"I can sacrifice for this human being. I hope what you say is true."
Huo Yuhao smiled easily. He knew that as long as the other person nodded, half the battle would be won.
"Trust me, you won't regret it."
Sometimes, even if you already have a good grasp of the basic market, you still have to work hard to raise new financing.
The ghost snow leopard let out a cry from its mouth, and then a faint white light was reflected on its back, and strong soul power fluctuations were also generated.
Huo Yuhao was extremely familiar with this phenomenon. He walked forward gently and accepted the sacrifice of the ghostly snow leopard.
The three red soul rings of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul appeared beside him, but the most eye-catching one was the simple gray soul ring behind him.
Electrolux's figure also floated forward, while Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor and Tianmeng consciously stepped back a few meters. Bajiao stood silently on Tianmeng's head. It had just experienced such a process not long ago.
Not only the Ice and Snow Emperors, but also Ice Bear King Xiaobai and Titan Snow Demon King were also carefully observing the whole process.
Sacrifice is a process of self-destruction
The original body, life, soul, and spirit will all undergo a complete destruction, turn into pure power, and merge into the body of the soul master.
The existence of the wisdom soul ring is to preserve the soul and spirit based on Tianmeng's millions of years of spiritual power. Now, what Huo Yuhao has to do is to work with Electrolux to completely preserve his body and life.
The word "sacrifice" does not require a sacrifice, only an offering.
The ghost snow leopard during the sacrifice could clearly feel that its power was undergoing earth-shaking turbulence. At the same time, the human in front of it was more powerful than it imagined.
Even though he was at Soul Saint level, the pressure he brought was no less than that of Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King Xiaobai. The soul power and mental power in his body were involuntarily flowing towards Huo Yuhao.
Suddenly, the gray soul ring behind Huo Yuhao shone brightly. The old human named Electrox had a gray staff in his hand at some point, and he whispered an obscure incantation.
The mental agility started to activate, and what they had to do was to carefully analyze the soul power composition of the ghost snow leopard.
Soul rings and soul skills are essentially a manifestation of soul power. Humans must hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings, because soul power and vitality are almost inseparable.
At this moment, Electrolux and Huo Yuhao were using soul magic and extremely fine control to carefully divide the two powers and only take away the parts they needed.
Although this was their first experiment on sacrifice, they had summarized all the operations many times before they were so confident.
Gradually, a ray of ghost snow leopard's soul power merged into Huo Yuhao's body and flowed into his Dantian along his meridians.
The ultimate ice soul core seemed to be nourished by the spring rain and began to rotate slowly. The abundant soul power assembled and engraved itself like a preset program.
The ghost snow leopard only felt that his mind and the turbulent soul power had stabilized together, and the original fusion with Huo Yuhao was also gently suspended by an unknown sacred power.
"It's really paused?" The ghost snow leopard was surprised and hurriedly checked its own situation, but its intact body seemed to have never experienced anything.
"Did it fail?"
It opened its eyes and stared at Huo Yuhao, only to see that the number of red soul rings flashing in front of Huo Yuhao had changed from three to four.
The ghost snow leopard opened its mouth wide and asked in disbelief: "This, is this the end?"
It looked at the four soul rings in front of Huo Yuhao in confusion, and felt a familiar energy wave from the fourth bright soul ring.
That is definitely your own power, it cannot be wrong.
But this process... seems to be too simple...
It was still the same snow leopard, it could run, jump and scream, but Huo Yuhao did get a new soul ring. When did it become so easy to obtain a soul ring?
"You really want to go through dangers, don't you?"
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly: "Believing that success can only be achieved through difficulties is a mental illness that needs to be cured."
Rainbows are not only visible through wind and rain. After in-depth analysis of the principles of optics, intelligent humans can also create this unique beauty of nature through their own means.
Not only the Ghost Snow Leopard, but also the Snow Emperor felt that this process was too easy.
Electrolux's old voice sounded: "Actually, I just made some minor changes to the contract between Yuhao and it."
"The entire sacrifice process can be roughly divided into three stages. In the first stage, Yuhao only obtains your soul skills. In the second stage, you inject your own soul power into Yuhao. In the third stage, you give up your original soul skills. Body, obtain soul bone.”
"You are now in the first stage, and starting from this stage, the contract between you has been reached."
Huo Yuhao smiled and added: "As I said just now, this process is only temporarily suspended. If you agree, you can continue it at any time. I call it the futures soul ring."
"How about Snow Leopard, do you believe me now?"
The ghost snow leopard said: "Then you...don't you plan to continue absorbing my soul power?"
The process is so simple that now it actually wants to continue.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Let's move on for now. One of my purposes for coming to the far north this time is to obtain a soul ring to increase my strength. However, there are still important things ahead. I don't have time to go into seclusion to practice and absorb soul power."
"What are you in a hurry to do?" asked the Ghost Snow Leopard puzzledly.
“Emperor Tian wants to start a beast tide, I want to stop it.” Huo Yuhao looked at the other soul beasts in the inner circle seriously and said sincerely, “But my power is a little small, so I need you and the help of the entire Far North.”
The Titan Snow Demon King let out a thunderous roar: "Beast God Ditian?"
After being surprised, it solemnly asked Snow Emperor: "Snow Emperor, have you decided?"
The Snow Emperor nodded gloomily: "Yes, it is the spokesperson of the Soul Beast Co-Master. No matter what the truth is, Bing'er and I will go to the Star Dou Forest to question it in person."
"Artai, what do you mean?"
The Titan Snow Demon first sighed deeply, then raised his arms and hammered his chest one after another.
"Since it is what you and Hyokui want, then naturally I have no objection."
The Snow Emperor smiled happily, this is the cohesion of the Far North. The three kings of the Far North jointly expressed their opinions, which represented the meaning of the entire Far North.
With the roar of the Titan Snow Demon King, the emotions of the surrounding beasts were also aroused, and they all followed Artai and roared to the sky.
Especially the clansmen of the Titan Snow Demon King, a group of Titan Snow Demons tens of meters high, let out an endless stream of rough roars, like a group of thunders, covering almost all other spirit beasts.
They can understand the fierce fighting spirit in the voice of the Titan Snow Demon, which is the charging horn that launches the beast tide.
