Chapter 419: Life Soul Core and Fate Soul Core

I see, that's indeed interesting.

After rubbing his chin in the Sea of Spirit, he suddenly called out thoughtfully:

"Big bug!"

"What's wrong?"

Tianmeng's petite figure appeared not far ahead of him, looking at him somewhat warily.

Ilex said lightly: "Can you help Huo Yutong control her spiritual power? Lend a hand."

"What for?"

"Of course to change the attribute."

Ilex snorted.

"According to what Xue Di just said, the soul core is the most important thing for a soul master after reaching the Honored Douluo realm, determining the soul master's future development path. Therefore, we should naturally give Huo Yutong the strongest attribute she possesses."

He sighed helplessly.

"To be honest, Huo Yutong's strongest attribute should be my death attribute, but since she has already condensed her mental attribute soul core to this extent, my power can't get involved. On the other hand, Wulin still has room for redemption; I'll go help him."

He helps Tang Wulin not only because he and Huo Yutong are lovers, but more importantly, he and Huo Yutong have a martial soul fusion.

Martial soul fusion requires equality between both parties; if Huo Yutong gains a death-attribute soul core in the future while Tang Wulin lacks a life-attribute one, their martial soul fusion might run into problems.

After saying that, Ilex's figure flashed and then disappeared.

Tianmeng sighed.

"Ah, this old man is really crafty."

She understood what Ilex meant: he wanted Huo Yutong's first soul core attribute to become fate.

After all, among Huo Yutong's spirit-power-related attributes, only the fate attribute granted by the Eye of Fate is the strongest.

She lightly waved her hand, and the countless stars hovering above Huo Yutong's Sea of Spirit suddenly fell down, turning into streams of pure energy that began to merge into Huo Yutong's Sea of Spirit.

In Song Lao's eyes outside, Huo Yutong's whole body shuddered as an immensely terrifying spiritual power suddenly burst from her.

Even Song Lao almost fell into dizziness under the influence of that spiritual power.

Immediately after, the Eye of Fate atop Huo Yutong's head slowly opened.

Vast and pure spiritual power continually surged from it, injected into Huo Yutong's condensed soul core, forcibly giving it a new hue.

The originally pure-gold spirit-attribute soul core gradually began to shift toward the rose-gold of the fate attribute.

At the same time, something even more terrifying happened.

One could see Huo Yutong's soul rings all rise up, and then the colors of her black second to fifth soul rings began to change at extreme speed.

In no time, they all turned red.

"This, this is..."

Song Lao was dumbfounded.

When did condensing a soul core become able to increase the years of soul rings? What's happening before her eyes completely exceeds her understanding; she can't find an explanation in any known knowledge.

In fact, Huo Yutong's transformation has little to do with the soul core; the increase in her soul rings' years comes from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

As the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, a "big feast" eyed by all fierce beasts, even though her main energy was drained, she still retained much power.

The most crucial part is her origin energy, which is not voluntary and cannot be taken away.

Even the Beast God Di Tian cannot forcibly absorb her origin energy.

With the help of her origin energy, she can even help Huo Yutong raise all her soul rings' years to over a hundred thousand, letting Huo Yutong undergo a complete rebirth.

However, after completing this step, she and Huo Yutong are essentially bound together; from then on she can never leave Huo Yutong, sharing honor and loss—if Huo Yutong dies, she will vanish as well.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin's side also began to show changes.

His originally blue-gold soul core gradually began to shift toward green-gold, and at the same time, green-gold soul rings rose up around him.

At the moment Tang Wulin became Sea God Pavilion Master, his Natural Son martial soul no longer needed to stay hidden.

Ilex, through the passage between Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, took over his body, and began to mobilize the surrounding life force with the aid of the Natural Son's power.

Vast life force continually flowed via the Natural Son's power into this room, surging into the gradually condensing soul core, making its emerald-gold glow even more brilliant.

Tang Wulin's soul core nature also gradually changed, shifting from being purely composed of soul power to being composed of life force.

Watching this scene, Song Lao felt his heart go numb.

They're truly two monsters; fortunately, they're both from the Academy.

Song Lao couldn't imagine where their limits lie; perhaps they could truly become the ones who, after ten thousand years, break the barrier between humans and gods once more.

Finally, accompanied by two soft sounds one after another, the rose-gold and green-gold soul cores finished condensing, floating before the two of them.

The two soul cores emit distinctly different auras; the rose-gold soul core radiates strong spiritual fluctuations—just looking at it with the naked eye causes dizziness, and upon closer inspection, its changing nature draws the gaze, making it impossible to look away as one sinks into it helplessly.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin's green-gold soul core exudes an unimaginably vigorous life force; Song Lao even felt that merely staying in this room would bring him great benefit.

She took a deep breath and asked:

"How are you both doing now?"

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong looked at each other and said together: "Not bad."

"Alright, if you're confident, you can start absorbing now; after all, the soul cores are still outside your bodies, and they'll easily dissipate and lose control over time, so the sooner you absorb them, the better."

"Yes."

Upon hearing that, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong no longer waited, each beginning to attract their own soul core.

What they didn't know was that when Huo Yutong opened the Eye of Fate and drew the fate soul core into it, Di Yun'er in the inner courtyard suddenly lifted her head, revealing a look of astonishment and uncertainty.

"Her fate power exceeds mine? How is that possible?"

Originally, Huo Yutong's fate power, though strong and far beyond ordinary human limits, was still inferior to hers as the Imperial Auspicious Beast.

But just now, she felt Huo Yutong's fate power surge dramatically, even leaving her behind.

This left her feeling incredulous.

A mere human, the power of fortune on their body actually surpassed that of her who bore the fortune of the entire Star Dou Great Forest; such a thing can be said to be unprecedented.
