Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Even in the core area of the Far North, the icy sea has never been completely frozen. The vast sea is endless, undercurrents surge in the deep water, and cold and warm currents interweave. Therefore, although there are countless icebergs and floating ice on the sea, it always remains in a state of flow.

Even so, the severe cold here is not something that ordinary soul masters can survive. The broken ice floes drifted slowly with the ocean currents, and the biting cold wind, carrying the smell of the sea, raged on the ice, making a shrill whistling sound.

This extremely cold environment was like a fish in water for Huo Yuhao. His soul power recovered even faster than usual. His powerful mental power continued to scan the sea area within a radius of dozens of miles like water waves, and even the situation in the deep water area was under his control.

There were all kinds of marine life swimming under the ice, including some powerful sea soul beasts. But after sensing the pressure from Huo Yuhao, these creatures wisely chose to retreat. As he continued to move northward, the temperature continued to drop, the floating ice on the sea surface became more and more dense, and towering icebergs were scattered everywhere. Some of the giant icebergs were even as large as small islands.

The sea soul beasts living on the ice field watched him vigilantly, but always kept a safe distance. These low-level soul beasts could judge the difference in strength between the two sides by instinct, not to mention that Huo Yuhao did not restrain his aura at all.

"Teacher, do you think the Sea Princess is suitable to be my last soul?" Huo Yuhao seemed to be whispering to himself. Originally, he had no intention of the mermaid tribe, but after the Ice Emperor revealed that the Sea Princess had 600,000 years of cultivation, he was indeed a little tempted.

Mu Xing's consciousness turned into a hazy spirit body, floating gently beside him. She stretched out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, "Didn't the Ice Emperor say that there are more than one beasts of the same level as the Sea Princess in this sea area. Whether they are suitable to be souls or not is not the point, but the fish tails of those mermaids must be extremely delicious."

Huo Yuhao raised his lips slightly: "You are right." Before he finished speaking, a cold blue light burst out from his hand without any warning. In an instant, the already frozen sea surface seemed to be frozen by some more terrifying force, and even the air was stagnant.

At this moment, he held a peculiarly shaped short knife in his hand. The pitch-black blade was about one foot and two inches long, and the broad back of the knife formed a sharp contrast with the thin blade. The blue diamond-shaped gem inlaid at the end of the handle was emitting a faint cold light, and the most amazing thing was that a layer of fine white mist always lingered on the blade. This mist was composed of countless water droplets, and even the ultimate ice could not freeze it.

The moment Huo Yuhao got the Morning Dew Blade, he felt as if he was connected to it by blood. The five souls in his body resonated at the same time, and the extremely cold air within a radius of 100 miles gathered madly towards the blade. Although he could not fully control this artifact with his current cultivation, after all, he had not yet condensed his consciousness and had not officially inherited the throne of the God of Emotions, but this did not affect his confidence at all - above this icy sea, is there any artifact more powerful than the one in his hand?

He flew low over the sea, and wherever he passed, the seawater instantly condensed into a crystal ice path. The gem on the handle continuously released a bone-chilling cold air, repeatedly condensing and compressing his soul power before injecting it into the blade. Even more amazingly, the gem actually seeped out strands of spiritual power, which, after blending with the soul power, finally allowed this artifact to reveal some of its true power.

The sky above the icy sea was strangely quiet, and Huo Yuhao had not seen any soul beasts during his flight. This area was an absolute death zone for flying soul beasts.

As we went deeper, the smell of land completely disappeared. The towering icebergs on the sea surface became more and more dense, and the vast white snow was all we could see. The temperature here was approaching the terrifying low temperature at the core of the Arctic ice field.

"Maybe it would have a different flavor if it's roasted." Mu Xing held his chin with an expression of serious thought.

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, “Teacher, this is the ocean. Although not all soul beasts under the ice sea are fish, most of them are related to fish. If we grill fish here, it would be a provocation to the entire sea soul beast clan.” He said this, but there was no fear in his tone.

"But," he suddenly frowned, "Why didn't we encounter any powerful soul beasts along the way?"

Mu Xing snorted: "It was cleaned up by Di Tian a few years ago. Otherwise, where do you think the extra soul bones and seafood in the house came from at that time?" Her tone sounded as if it was a matter of course, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this sea area was so quiet. When Emperor Tian attacked, he naturally swept everything. Those powerful sea soul beasts were either hunted or had already avoided them. He looked down at the Morning Dew Blade in his hand. The cold mist on the blade was flowing slightly, reflecting the vast light of the icy sea. Maybe it was related to the artifact in his hand?

He couldn't help but recall the days when seafood dominated his life. Almost every meal had the meat of ten thousand year old sea soul beasts, which made him feel sick when he thought of sea soul beasts. You know, the soul bone explosion rate is less than one thousandth, and he could bring back more than a dozen soul bones... How many sea soul beasts did Di Tian kill?

But he thought about it again and felt that it was strange. Even if they were sea soul beasts, the beast god should not kill them for no reason. Unless they were blindly blocking the dragon's way, or did something to anger Emperor Tian.

"It seems that some interesting things happened in this sea area in the past."

Mu Xing gave Huo Yuhao a sly smile, and his figure gradually faded into the air. "It was just a group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks chasing the little whale, and then the Sea Princess ordered a no-fly zone, which caused me to almost fall into the sea..."

Huo Yuhao understood. No wonder he could eat the shark fin of the Demon Soul Great White Shark every day during those years. No wonder the Sea Princess’ clan was looted by the dragon. Even the Sea Princess’ most precious golden tears were collected and eventually turned into nutrients for his spiritual sea.

His thoughts drifted to the amazing exhibits in the lobby on the first floor of Dragon Pavilion: pearls as big as human heads, crystal shells reflecting colorful halos, and the breathtakingly beautiful coral tree... Any one of them would be enough to cause a sensation in the human world.

The most precious thing is the cat bed made of cold chalcedony in his bedroom. Ice Emperor once said that such a spiritual creature is rare even in the far north. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm excitedly recalled the first time it fell into sleep and evolved. It was because of an accidental encounter with a broken chalcedony, and the marrow fluid that leaked out allowed it to start a long journey of transformation. It can be said that the chalcedony played an indispensable role in its survival for such a long time.

And all these rare treasures are spoils taken from the mermaid tribe’s treasury.

It seems like I have discovered some incredible way to get rich...

Obviously, he was not the only one who had this idea. Under the seemingly calm sea surface, there was actually an undercurrent surging, and a gentle but not negligible spiritual power fluctuation was quietly spreading.

“Is this also part of the test?” Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered Mu Xing’s meaningful smile and instinctively wanted to step back.

"Since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" A cold voice suddenly sounded. In an instant, the calm ice sea suddenly boiled, and countless deep blue lights gushed out from the bottom of the sea. It was not a wave, but a pure torrent of energy. Huo Yuhao was not aware of it for a moment, and felt as if he had crashed into sticky glue, and his flying speed dropped sharply in an instant.

The deep blue light became more and more intense. Although it did not directly hit his body, the next second, the whole world suddenly spun. Huo Yuhao felt that the positions of the sky and the ocean were completely reversed. This dizzying feeling of dislocation lasted for several minutes.

When the energy fluctuations finally subsided, Huo Yuhao found himself in a deep blue world. This was not some kind of domain, but the real seabed. In this short moment, his position was completely reversed and he fell from the air into the deep sea.

This is the absolute home ground of the sea soul beasts. Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that the deep blue sea water blocked all light, and no light could be seen coming from the sea surface.

The water pressure of the deep sea surged from all directions like a tide, and the biting cold current constantly attacked his body. But surprisingly, the entire sea area did not show hostility towards him. After all, Tang San had lost control of the ocean, and the Water Dragon King spirit gave Huo Yuhao absolute control over the water element.

The Eye of Destiny on Huo Yuhao's forehead suddenly burst into dazzling golden light, illuminating the dark sea around him. In the sea hundreds of meters away, hundreds of sea soul beasts of various shapes were densely packed around. Floating in the front was a group of beautiful mermaids, both men and women. They held coral spears or other strange underwater weapons, and their eyes were all focused on Huo Yuhao, or more precisely, on the Morning Dew Knife in his hand that was emitting a faint blue light.

The sea water flowed slowly around them, and the mermaids' long flowing hair danced gently with the water. They kept a vigilant distance, neither launching an immediate attack nor showing any intention of retreating. The entire underwater world seemed to be still at this moment, with only the golden light of the Eye of Destiny and the dark blue light of the Morning Dew Knife shining against each other in the deep sea.

Huo Yuhao released all his mental power, extending it in all directions through the amplification of the Eye of Destiny. Golden mental waves rippled in the deep sea, trying to explore the boundaries of this sea area.

"Human, don't waste your energy." A cold spiritual wave suddenly pierced his consciousness, "In this deep sea, the power of the sea god suppresses all outsiders. No matter how strong your spiritual power is, you can't break through the confinement of the ocean. Now, hand over the weapon in your hand."

Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the spiritual fluctuations and saw a beautiful mermaid about three meters long floating in the middle of the school of fish. Her upper body was a perfect human female form, with only two white shells covering her chest. Her long aquamarine hair spread out like a disc behind her head, unaffected by the water flow. Her slender fish tail was covered with dark blue scales, gleaming with a dreamy luster under the golden light of the Eye of Destiny. She held a silver spear in her hand, and a blue gem was inlaid in the center of the silver crown on her forehead, highlighting her noble status.

There are hundreds of mermaids lined up in an orderly manner around her. The spiritual powers of these mermaids are perfectly integrated together, weaving into an invisible giant net in the deep sea. The entire sea area seems to have turned into a cage constructed of pure spiritual power.

Huo Yuhao quickly sensed the strength of the mermaids around him. The mermaid wearing a silver crown was indeed the strongest among them, but her cultivation was only at the level of a 100,000-year soul beast, which was still a long way from 200,000 years. The rest of the mermaids had not even reached the 100,000-year level.

Where is the 600,000-year-old Sea Princess? Huo Yuhao was secretly disappointed. Facing the threat from the Silver Crown Mermaid, he calmly sent out his spiritual wave: "Why are you so obsessed with the Morning Dew Knife in my hand?"

Were they robbed? Teacher, you've set a bad example! Huo Yuhao thought to himself, could this group of mermaids be the same group that was robbed a few years ago?

"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over that knife, and I'll consider sparing your life!" The silver-crowned mermaid obviously didn't have much patience, and pointed her silver spear directly at Huo Yuhao. In an instant, the large net woven by the spiritual power of hundreds of mermaids suddenly shrank and enveloped Huo Yuhao.

As he expected, after being robbed, these mermaids actually learned the dragon clan's way of making a fortune. Huo Yuhao's mouth curled up slightly, and the cold mist on the Morning Dew Knife suddenly surged violently. Since the other party took the initiative, he could just try out the true power of this artifact.

The pitch-black blade suddenly glowed with a hazy halo, and the ice sapphire on the handle burst out with dazzling cold light. In an instant, the temperature of the entire sea area plummeted, and with Huo Yuhao as the center, the sea water began to condense into ice at an alarming speed.

When the spiritual shock released by hundreds of mermaids came like a tsunami, Huo Yuhao just focused on activating the Morning Dew Blade. The extreme ice continued to spread, freezing the approaching sea soul beasts into ice sculptures.

"Om-"

When the mental shock was only ten meters away from Huo Yuhao, it suddenly collapsed as if it had hit an invisible barrier, and even the corner of his clothes could not be lifted.

"This is impossible!" The silver-crowned mermaid screamed, and the sapphire on the crown trembled violently. She had never seen a human being who could remain unscathed under the spiritual net cast by the mermaids. What shocked her even more was that the soul power fluctuations emanating from this human were obviously not particularly strong.

The Morning Dew Blade trembled in Huo Yuhao's hand, and the white mist on the blade suddenly turned into countless tiny ice crystals. These ice crystals spread in the sea water, and wherever they passed, even the surrounding sea soul beasts were frozen into crystal ice sculptures.

Just as the silver-crowned mermaid was stunned, the space around her suddenly began to waver. Huo Yuhao's figure teleported to her side like a ghost, and the Morning Dew Knife in his hand, with a cold light, went straight for her slender neck.

People who often kill fish know that they should knock the head off first, but chopping off the head directly is also possible.

The mermaid instantly formed an ice-blue crystal shield around her body. This was her natural defensive ability. However, in front of the artifact, this shield shattered like thin paper.
