The process of fusing the soul ring went exceptionally smoothly.
Even though the spiritual power of three ten-thousand-year soul beasts remained within the soul ring, it posed no threat to Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
Relying on his formidable spiritual power, Huo Yuhao effortlessly tore apart the residual spiritual energy of the soul beast within the ring and began absorbing the soul power contained within.
The immense soul power carried by the twenty-thousand-year soul ring was guided and absorbed by Huo Yuhao's robust physique, strengthening every part of his body—bones, meridians, flesh, and blood.
An hour passed.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and a flash of purple-gold light flickered within them.
With the blessing of the twenty-thousand-year soul ring, even though Huo Yuhao faced the limitation of his ultimate martial soul's cultivation speed drastically slowing after reaching the thirty-third level, his soul power had now broken through three levels, directly reaching the thirty-third level.
Moreover, the soul ring's enhancement brought about an all-around improvement for Huo Yuhao.
The benefits of absorbing a soul ring beyond his level were self-evident. The higher the age of the soul ring, the more terrifying the strengthening it provided to the soul master.
This was especially true for a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, which not only offered an even more terrifying boost but also granted two powerful soul skills.
Additionally, it was a rule that soul bones were guaranteed to drop from hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
For ordinary Title Douluo, the difference in strength between possessing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and not having one was immense.
However, what surprised Huo Yuhao the most was the third soul skill he had just obtained. With this new skill, his current strength had taken a qualitative leap. It was truly worthy of being a trinity soul ring.
"Yuhao, tell me, what soul skill did you obtain?" Skydream was the first to ask, her curiosity evident.
Even the Ice Empress, who usually appeared cold and aloof, quietly perked up his ears. Both of them were eager to learn what soul skill Huo Yuhao had acquired.
Although they had heard from Huo Yuhao that his evolved Spirit Eyes had transformed to possess attributes of time and space, seeing it with their own eyes felt somewhat unbelievable.
Especially for Skydream, this seemed as bizarre as a soul beast reaching a million years of cultivation. If Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes had such an incredible innate talent, why had it only been at a pitiful level 10 when they first met? She wasn't foolish, after all.
Judging from the effects Huo Yuhao had described and demonstrated, the "Moment" innate soul skill of his evolved Spirit Eyes did indeed involve time. However, a martial soul with spiritual attributes as its primary focus and time and space as secondary attributes was virtually unheard of.
Skydream believed that Huo Yuhao wasn't lying, but she couldn't help but wonder if there was a possibility that her self-perception was mistaken.
She chose to believe him but remained skeptical.
Huo Yuhao naturally didn't hide anything from the two.
"You might not believe me when I say this, but I obtained two soul skills from this soul ring!"
"What? Two soul skills?!" Skydream and the Ice Empress were both shocked.
Wasn't this the exclusive effect of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?
"Yuhao, our luck is incredible!" Skydream exclaimed, overjoyed.
"How effective are the soul skills?" the Ice Empress pressed further.
The third soul ring, produced by the Three-Life Wolf Ape, granted Huo Yuhao two soul skills: "Space Movement" and "Space Control".
Space Movement, an active soul skill, allowed Huo Yuhao to instantly move within a 30-meter radius. However, the soul power consumption doubled with continuous use. (In the original work, Huo Yuhao's ten-thousand-year left leg bone only allowed movement within a 10-meter radius.)
Space Control, a passive soul skill, enhanced Huo Yuhao's mastery over space. The two skills complemented each other perfectly, with the passive Space Control being the most significant gain from this journey.
After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, both Skydream and the Ice Empress fell into a brief silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
Skydream blinked twice before exclaiming excitedly, "As expected of my destined one! Let's take on the world together!"
The Ice Empress, on the other hand, thought silently, 'It was indeed the right decision to accept Yuhao's invitation. Snow Empress, wait for me. I should be able to see you again in less than ten years.'
Even Electrolux, who had been peacefully resting, stirred slightly, causing the gray beads representing him to shift. Everything was thriving.
"Strange, why hasn't this spiritual guidance disappeared?"
Huo Yuhao, who was about to return home after a successful trip, suddenly felt a jolt of unease.
"Skydream, what do you think?"
At that moment, Skydream had already crouched down, clutching her head, and a weak voice rang out, "Yuhao, be careful. The big one is coming."
Huo Yuhao: ???
On the way back, a wild emperor beast appeared!
It was a golden stream of light, resembling a small sun racing through the Forest. Huo Yuhao only saw a flash of light before the emperor beast appeared before him.
This soul beast was over three meters long, standing eight feet tall at the shoulder, and was covered in a layer of golden fur that shimmered like translucent crystal.
It resembled a lion, with four dragon-like claws and golden flames flickering beneath them. Beneath its fur were fine golden scales, and a red vertical pupil grew between its eyebrows.
"You are here, my kind!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion scanned its surroundings and locked onto Huo Yuhao, speaking in a clear and melodious female voice.
The Ice Empress warned in a deep voice, "Her name is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Although she has only cultivated for a little over ten thousand years, she possesses the dual extreme attributes of extreme fire and extreme light. Her strength is so formidable that she can rival ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."
Skydream was equally tense. "Yuhao, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has the backing of a fierce beast. Let's get out of here quickly!"
Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's guardian, Chi Wang, was not by her side. This made the situation slightly less dire.
Huo Yuhao knew that this was his fate—the first encounter of destiny that he could not avoid.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion leaped closer to Huo Yuhao, her expression slightly puzzled. "I didn't expect that the person sharing my destiny would be a human."
Huo Yuhao smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion leaned against Huo Yuhao and sat down. "I am the Emperor's Auspicious Beast. And you? There's an aura about you that feels very familiar. Who are you?"
Her three large eyes gazed at Huo Yuhao with curiosity. This sense of familiarity, despite it being their first meeting, made her feel an inexplicable eagerness.
"As for me, I'm just a human soul master passing by," Huo Yuhao replied with a slight smile. He reached out and gently rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's large head. Her crystal-like fur was incredibly soft and pleasant to the touch.
Strangely, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't shy away from Huo Yuhao's hand. Instead, she seemed to enjoy it, squinting her eyes in contentment. The golden fur on her body seemed to glow even brighter as she nuzzled against his palm.
The moment Huo Yuhao's hand touched the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he noticed that the flow of his soul power had become smoother.
'It Speed up my cultivation!'
'Damn, the power of Haodong is gone, and the power of Haoqiu appears? Can it really work like this?'
It seemed quite reasonable. However, since Huo Yuhao had not yet unlocked the Eye of Life, he could only observe.
"Bingdi, can it really be like this?" Skydream in his mind also grew bolder.
"Don't talk nonsense. This isn't a solution. The auspicious beast can't be away from the fierce beast for too long. Think of something quickly," the Ice Empress interjected.
Huo Yuhao thought, 'The Ice Empress is still reliable.'
To be honest, he was in a bit of a dilemma now. It was just that his hands were being a little mischievous...
