Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 97 Spiritual Realm
"How about it? Want to do it again?"

Xue Di smiled and withdrew her hand from Huo Yuhao's forehead.

"No... I'm not coming anymore, I'm not coming anymore... I really can't take it anymore..."

Once he regained consciousness, Huo Yuhao abruptly pulled the blanket over himself and trembled uncontrollably on the bed. His entire body turned pale and cold, and he was breathing out cold air as he spoke.

His only feeling right now is cold.

The cold was so intense that it almost exceeded the limits of what most people could bear; even thinking became slow and sluggish under the chill.

"Is this what it feels like for an ordinary person to face the extreme of ice?"

Huo Yuhao's teeth chattered: "No... Xue Di's attributes are even better than ordinary extreme attributes."

After his martial spirit was banned, he truly understood the power of the Snow Empress. A seemingly casual lesson almost overwhelmed him, nearly freezing his soul on the spot.

Right now, he felt as if frost was seeping out of every pore of his body...

"Wait... there's no chill?"

As Huo Yuhao trembled on the bed, he gradually realized something was wrong. He stretched his hand out from under the covers and stared blankly at his hand, which was at a normal temperature and showed no abnormalities.

If he wasn't mistaken.

The chill emanating from that icy world actually originated from the depths of his soul, without affecting his physical body at all!
"How could this be?"

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, feeling somewhat unreal.

He clearly remembered everything that happened in that world; the multi-layered chill that penetrated to his very bones and soul was unmistakable. He must have truly been there.

"...Could it be an illusion? But how could there be such a realistic illusion?"

The inexperienced Huo Yuhao was completely baffled: "It can't be something like a simulated soul skill..."

"It's the field!"

The Snow Emperor spoke up in time, stopping his wildly off-topic conjecture: "That icy world is actually a realm that naturally arises from the realm of spiritual power. The attribute power and spiritual power I possess are the foundation of this realm."

In the initial teaching, she merely threw Huo Yuhao into the mental realm for a brief while.

Who knew that someone would instinctively activate their second martial soul and start dismantling everything, creating chaos within the domain...

So, she simply turned the power up to full blast!

As long as Huo Yuhao's spiritual power cannot reach the edge of spiritual consciousness, he will have to obediently have his martial soul sealed and be forced by the Snow Empress to experience the true meaning of ice.

"The spiritual realm?"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback when he received the answer, but then looked relieved.

Also...

Although Xue Di's main attribute has nothing to do with spiritual power, she has explored this field very far and even honed her spiritual power into a spiritual consciousness at another level.

Given such astonishing spiritual attainments, developing a spiritual realm is not entirely incomprehensible.

—However, what does it mean to be derived naturally from a realm?

"I don't know the specifics... This realm was something I naturally awakened after I forged my spiritual consciousness. It seems to be a special ability unique to this spiritual level. When the time is right, it will come to me."

Faced with his somewhat questioning gaze, Xue Di shrugged: "If it were you, as long as you could reach this level, you would probably also create your own domain." Spiritual power was not her forte, and she had only managed to forge her spiritual consciousness by chance. It would be a bit difficult for her to explain all these intricacies.

"Spiritual realm".

Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, but more questions arose in his mind: "So what realm am I at now?"

"You'll have to ask him about these things."

Xue Di shook her head and turned to look at Tian Meng: "I don't know how those guys who specialize in mental attributes divide their realms."

"That's easy..."

After a long period of inactivity, Tianmeng finally found his area of ​​expertise and was immediately invigorated: "Generally speaking, I directly divide my spiritual power into four realms: ordinary, vast ocean, tangible but intangible, and tangible and tangible."

"Ahead of these four realms are those who can barely summon spiritual power, and they can't be considered to have spiritual power cultivation at all. Beyond that, it's probably the condensation of divine sense."

"As for you, you should have already reached the realm of having form but no substance. You can try to use your mental power to pinch some things, and a phantom with a certain power should be born."

"As for Xue Di, her spiritual consciousness has already transformed from illusory mental power into real energy and even physical matter, making it tangible and substantial. Based on speculation, this tangible and substantial state should be the realm of spiritual consciousness."

That's it~
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then suddenly turned his attention to Tianmeng: "Tianmeng, what about you? What realm are you at?"

From the moment they first met, he was curious about just how strong Tianmeng's mental cultivation was.

With the accumulation of millions of years, and the vast and boundless spiritual power generated when the origin was activated, Tianmeng should not be a weakling at all.

"Ahem... well... I'm still half a step away from reaching the state of formlessness..."

Just moments ago, Tianmeng was in high spirits, pontificating about everything. Suddenly, she deflated and replied in a muffled voice, her tone full of longing for face: "Just half a step, I really am only half a step away!"

"So you're still stuck in the Hanhai."

Huo Yuhao calmly crushed Tianmeng's last remaining self-esteem, watching him drift aimlessly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"No way? Tianmeng's mental strength is that low?"

Faced with this fact, the most shocked among the three people and three beasts present was Ice Emperor, who had witnessed Tianmeng's full mental power: "Isn't Tianmeng one of the soul beasts with the most powerful mental power?"

“Large size does not equate to high level of achievement.”

Snow Empress tapped Ice Empress on the head: "Just like ordinary ice attribute and ultimate ice, after the spiritual power realm reaches the Vast Ocean realm he mentioned, it is a series of leaps in qualitative change. Just relying on quantity will only get you stuck halfway."

"If I'm not mistaken, even the Beast God Di Tian probably hasn't undergone any tempering or improvement, and still maintains the most primitive state of spiritual power. Among the soul beasts, only that Evil Emperor who resides in the Sun and Moon has been able to complete the path of qualitative change and stop at the threshold of divine sense."

Even Di Tian hasn't achieved a qualitative change?

Huo Yuhao blinked: "Doesn't that mean that Xue Di... you, who possess spiritual consciousness, are stronger than him?"

"Ha~"

Xue Di crossed her arms helplessly: "Do you think your mental strength can compete with Tian Meng's? I'm afraid even if ten of you were tied up, you wouldn't be able to withstand a single mental assault from Tian Meng... No matter how high your realm is, you can't overcome the opponent's sheer quantity over quality."

"Moreover, there seems to be other unknown reasons why Di Tian is maintaining his spiritual power level..."

"Putting all that aside, thinking you can overpower him with mental strength is wishful thinking—don't forget he's a dragon with mental resistance!"
