Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

Gu Yuena broke open the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, storing all of it in Lin Feng's soul tool, then proceeded to explore a deeper layer.

The cold here was even more intense, the space smaller, only about ten square meters, and the height was also only about 1.5 meters. The three of them had entered by relying on the ice wall.

In the grotto here, dozens of pure white, jade-like ice pillars were distributed in a crisscross pattern. Within each one, a liquid could be vaguely seen flowing, emitting an extreme cold qi.

"Forty-five pieces."

Gu Yuena stated this number, which immediately confirmed for Lin Feng that the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Grotto here was the one found by Huo Yuhao in Douluo Dalu II.

As the "Gold of Life" of the Land of the Extreme North, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow was not, as its name suggests, formed in just ten thousand years. Rather, it started at ten thousand years, and an evolution of tens of thousands of years was also normal. Without the help of external forces, I'm afraid it would not have been so easy to form.

This place might not be where the Ice God had left the most of her origin, but it was surely one of them. The remnant of her energy here had allowed this Profound Ice Grotto to form.

"There's no time to lose. You two hurry up and absorb it," Gu Yuena said. "This Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow contains the ultimate ice element and worldly primordial qi. For you two, it is the best medicine for improving your soul power."

Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly. He looked at Qian Renxue. "Can Xue'er absorb it normally? The Profound Ice Marrow contains the ultimate ice worldly primordial qi. Won't it clash with her martial soul?"

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly. "Her martial soul possesses the ultimate divinity and flame. She is able to find a balance between the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire. Although the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is cold, it is also the essence of the condensation of worldly primordial qi."

"For her, not only is it not harmful, but on the contrary, it can help the divine and flame power in her martial soul become purer, fuse with each other, and reach a new realm. It's just that, when absorbing, one must guide it carefully, lest the cold qi invade the body and harm the foundation. With my guidance, there won't be any problems."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded lightly, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes. "I will be careful. Such an opportunity cannot be missed. Regarding the control of the divine and flame energy, I have long been confident."

Lin Feng nodded, his one hand directly grabbing a jade-like ice pillar. A brilliant five-colored brilliance shone on his body. The blue liquid in the ice pillar seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly flowing into his body, fusing with his soul power, bringing waves of a cool yet fulfilling feeling.

His aura, at this moment, faintly had a tendency to climb.

At the same time, Qian Renxue also chose an ice pillar. Her two hands lightly touched it. She closed her eyes and concentrated. The power of divinity and flame quietly circulated within her body, forming a subtle resonance with the ultimate ice worldly primordial qi flowing in the ice pillar.

Under her guidance, this energy slowly merged into her body, making her martial soul seem as if it had been washed, becoming more crystal clear, shining with light.

Gu Yuena, on the other hand, stood at the side, her two hands forming a seal. A layer of a faint blue light shield enveloped the three of them, both isolating the cold from the outside and also accelerating their absorption of the Profound Ice Marrow.

Her eyes were deep, at all times paying attention to the state of the two, ensuring that they would not be harmed due to absorbing too quickly or the cold qi invading their bodies.

The life force and the ice-attribute worldly primordial qi were the most valuable points of this Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

With a delicate and profound influence, it quietly changed the bodies and soul power of Lin Feng and Qian Renxue.

Soon, the first piece of Profound Ice Marrow was completely absorbed by Lin Feng. The light of the ice pillar dimmed. Within the soul power contained in Lin Feng's Soul Veins, there were specks of a blue halo. At the same time, inside his spiritual sea, the spiritual power that had slowed its growth speed also increased again at this moment.

The ultimate ice worldly primordial qi did not have too great an influence on Lin Feng. The foundation of ice and snow was water. Water is the source of all things. Lin Feng, who possessed the water of the five elements, did not produce any repulsion under the influence of the ultimate ice. On the contrary, he had a feeling of being like a fish in water.

His soul power, under the nourishment of the Profound Ice Marrow, became purer and stronger, as if every drop contained an endless cold intent, yet it could perfectly fuse with his five-element power.

Vaguely, he felt that his water Soul Vein had taken on an ultimate attribute. This was a change in his ability brought about by the ice attribute returning to its origin. It was not achieved overnight, but had quietly changed in the process of absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

He could feel that with just a little more Profound Ice Marrow, he could complete the transformation of his five-element soul power, having the water attribute first ascend to the ultimate, and then break through the laws and evolve the other four elements.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, a faint cold light flashing within them. He glanced at Qian Renxue, who was still absorbing the first piece of Profound Ice Marrow. Although Qian Renxue's brow was slightly tight, the speed of her absorption was abnormally stable. Lin Feng secretly praised in his heart. Xue'er's martial soul was indeed extraordinary, to be able to find a balance in such extreme energy was truly rare.

One must know that even Huo Yuhao had needed the protection of the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and the others.

He looked back at Gu Yuena. "You're not absorbing any?"

Gu Yuena shook her head. "In the end, for my level, the Profound Ice Marrow can't bring me any benefit. Ordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures have a minimal effect on me," the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, a trace of cunning flashing in the depths of her eyes. She glanced at the Qian Renxue who was immersed in absorbing the Profound Ice Marrow and slowly walked to Lin Feng's side.

She whispered in his ear, "You know what I want. After this matter is over, just like at the Lake of Life, pass me your True Qi~"

Lin Feng didn't pay attention to the deep meaning in Gu Yuena's words. For him, it seemed he was already a little used to it. "How much longer until you can recover to the power of a second-level god?"

"About a month later. If your True Qi is enough," Gu Yuena smiled faintly.

"Alright." It seemed that the matter of working overtime to hand over grain was unavoidable.

Lin Feng turned around, his two hands each grabbing a piece of Profound Ice Marrow. Circles of a blue brilliance poured into his body even faster than before. His aura also rose steadily with it, his soul power having already broken through level 65 on its own.

The worldly primordial qi did not precipitate in Lin Feng's body, but was directly transformed by it; making his cultivation be nourished as if by a spring breeze turning to rain, rising steadily.

At the same time, Qian Renxue had also completed the absorption of the first piece of Profound Ice Marrow. She opened her eyes, and a brilliant light sparkled within them. Clearly, she had also obtained great benefits from this absorption.

The improvement of soul power was not the most crucial. What was more important was the growth of her spiritual power. The characteristics of Qian Renxue's martial soul and the ultimate ice could be said to be opposite. But it was precisely this opposition that had caused her spiritual power to undergo an unprecedented tempering in the process of finding a balance. Her divine and flame power, under the tempering of the ultimate ice, had become more tenacious and pure, as if endowed with a new life.

However, looking at Lin Feng still absorbing without a change in expression, Qian Renxue was also a little dejected. Just by absorbing the first piece of Profound Ice Marrow, she had already felt a little discomfort. In the end, she could probably only absorb about 5 pieces?

After all, it was a one-time absorption in a short period of time. The body did not have time to store the excess worldly primordial qi. Too much of the origin of ice in Qian Renxue's body would, on the contrary, be detrimental to her foundation.

She pursed her lips and, with a competitive mind, continued to absorb the Profound Ice Marrow.

Time quietly flowed by in the quiet and cold grotto. Lin Feng and Qian Renxue were each immersed in the process of absorbing the Profound Ice Marrow. Their auras were quietly changing with each breath, becoming stronger.

The ice pillars tightly held in Lin Feng's hands gradually lost their luster, one after another. His soul power was like an activated spring, gurgling and continuously climbing.

With the completion of the absorption of the 4th piece of Profound Ice Marrow, his cultivation steadily stepped into level 66. The five-element soul power, under the baptism of the ultimate ice, began to show an unprecedented fusion and coordination. Especially the water Soul Vein, it had almost touched the threshold of the ultimate.

And after absorbing the 5th piece, Lin Feng's water Soul Vein finally ascended to the ultimate. This was the result of completely absorbing the ultimate ice worldly primordial qi in a short period of time.

If it were someone else, without Lin Feng's incomparably tenacious body, his spiritual sea that had been nourished by the Gold of Life, and his unified True Qi, it would be impossible to so easily evolve their soul power attribute into the ultimate.

The soul power in Lin Feng's body gurgled, as if every Soul Vein contained an endless cold intent, yet it perfectly fused with his five-element power, forming a unique balance. The extreme cold was rapidly receding, being accommodated by his five-element soul power.

The sixth piece, the seventh piece... it wasn't until the 12th piece that Lin Feng's face showed a slight look of fatigue. But his eyes were as bright as stars. His cultivation, at this moment, had already quietly climbed to level 69, only one step away from the realm of a Soul Sage.

And Qian Renxue at this time had successfully absorbed 6 pieces of Profound Ice Marrow. Her face was a little pale, and her soul power had already reached level 70. Gu Yuena timely spoke up, "Xue'er, stop. Your body has already reached its current limit. To continue absorbing may cause damage to your foundation."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded slightly. Although she was a little unwilling in her heart, she was also clear about her own body's condition. To eat too much at one time was not a good thing.

"Level 70," Qian Renxue sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing and said a soft "thank you" to Gu Yuena at the side. Gu Yuena hummed in acknowledgment.

"Lin Feng is still absorbing? Which piece is this?"

"The 13th piece."

Qian Renxue was somewhat taken aback. "13 pieces? He has already absorbed so many?!"

"Lin Feng's physical fitness and soul power foundation are both extraordinary. Plus the specialty of his five-element soul power, it allows him to withstand more of the Profound Ice Marrow's power. However, this is also about his limit. At most, 15 pieces."

As Gu Yuena had predicted, when absorbing the 14th piece of Profound Ice Marrow, Lin Feng's body had already begun to tremble. He was already close to his limit!

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. He was just this little bit away. How could he possibly stop now!

The Yin Power of his left arm and the True Qi in his dantian were mobilized at the same time, intertwining with his five-element soul power, jointly and slowly sucking the blue liquid of the 15th piece of Profound Ice Marrow before him into his body.

For the first time, ice crystal blocks, as mentioned in the original novel, appeared in Lin Feng's Soul Veins. This was another form of the ultimate ice worldly primordial qi in his soul power, and it was being assimilated by his five-element soul power.

Finally, the 15th piece of Profound Ice Marrow was completely absorbed by him. He spat out a mouthful of bone-piercing cold qi, and then, a mouthful of hot qi. The Soul Veins in his body had completely absorbed the Profound Ice Marrow.

His whole body shook. His aura suddenly soared. His cultivation, at this moment, finally stepped into the realm of a Soul Sage. The threshold of level 70 was steadily crossed by him. Lin Feng felt as if his five-element soul power had undergone a transformation. Besides the water Soul Vein, the other four elements of soul power had also reached the ultimate realm.

Not yet 18 years old~~~

Lin Feng and Qian Renxue had ascended to the realm of a Soul Sage. Qian Renxue, before coming to the Land of the Extreme North, had consumed the Yearning Heartbroken Red and had just received an improvement in her soul power. Now here, she had improved by another two levels and could directly start her divine trial.

And Lin Feng was even more so a latecomer who had surpassed the old-timer. For the conversion of the Profound Ice Marrow, no one could be more efficient than him.

A total of 45 pieces of Profound Ice Marrow. Lin Feng and Qian Renxue had absorbed 21 pieces, leaving 24 pieces.

Gu Yuena's slender, jade-like fingers drew empty air. One after another of light patterns fluctuated in the air, forming one after another of snowflakes. In a flash, they appeared above the remaining Profound Ice Marrow. The ice flowers bloomed with brilliance, and the pure white, jade-like Profound Ice Marrow took on a blue halo.

With her movements, the ice pillars gradually became transparent, finally transforming into one after another of streams of light that were taken in by Gu Yuena into the snowflakes. The 24 snowflakes continuously changed, converging into a string of an ice flower bracelet that was worn by Gu Yuena on her hand.

"This is a treasure of the Land of the Extreme North. It is only right that the Snow Empress and the others have a share. Lin Feng, I plan to give a portion of it to them," Gu Yuena said.

Lin Feng nodded. "Of course."

With the last of the Profound Ice Marrow being taken away, the temperature here quickly rose. Without the extreme cold, the environment within the grotto also seemed to be changing with the departure of the treasure.

"Let's go up first."

The three came to the spring eye on the ground. Feeling the majestic power within his body, Lin Feng said directly, "I plan to condense my seventh Soul Vein right now. The foundation brought by the Profound Ice Marrow in my body is too much. Although I have finished absorbing it, I haven't completely digested it. It's just right to use it to condense a Soul Vein."

Gu Yuena nodded lightly. "Alright. I will protect you."

Qian Renxue asked with some worry, "Will there be any problems? Back then when Lin Feng was self-condensing his Soul Veins, was there anything unusual?"

Gu Yuena shook her head. "No."

"Don't worry. I'm already familiar with the road."

Lin Feng's heart was a sheet of tranquility. He sat down cross-legged. This time, the self-condensed Soul Vein was to be on his right arm!

He began to mobilize all the five-element soul power and True Qi in his body, as well as the ultimate ice worldly primordial qi he had just absorbed, and gathered them in his right arm. With the surging of his soul power, the skin on Lin Feng's right arm began to emit a faint light, as if some power was awakening within his body.

His spirit was highly concentrated, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his own soul, guiding the huge energy to slowly condense in his right arm.

A sound of a drum beating gradually sounded in Lin Feng's body. That was the sign of a new Soul Vein forming, like thunder in the sky.

Finally, at the moment the roaring sound in Lin Feng's body reached its peak, his right arm suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. The light was like a flash of lightning that cut across the sky, announcing the birth of the new Soul Vein.

As the light gradually dissipated, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. His eyes sparkled with the light of confidence and joy. He had already successfully condensed his seventh Soul Vein, and the power of this Soul Vein far exceeded his previous imagination.

"Success!" Lin Feng shouted excitedly, his voice echoing.

However, the change in his body had not yet stopped. The moment the seventh Soul Vein had condensed, he had already understood the power it carried. It was Yang Power.

All things in the world are divided into yin and yang. Yin and yang are the way of heaven and earth. The wonder of yin and yang has its source root in "nothingness"; "nothingness" gives birth to all things and is the True Qi. True Qi is derived from the Five Elements Soul Veins. The five elements mutually generate and restrain each other, and in turn evolve into yin and yang.

Yin Power not only represents the dark attribute but also contains the mysteries of life, death, and reincarnation.

And unlike the Yin Power of his left arm, which could control the state of life, touch the soul and spirit, and at the same time evolve yin-attribute soul skills, Yang Power, besides being able to evolve yang-attribute soul skills...

It also bestowed upon the physical body and strength, stimulated the body's potential, enhanced the activity of soul power, and raised the strength of the physical body to an unbelievable realm. From now on, every strike of Lin Feng would carry the scorching heat and dominance of Yang Power, able to burn away all obstacles in the world.

His physical body at this moment was as if re-forged. Every inch of his skin contained astonishing power. A faint platinum-colored light could be seen flowing under his skin. That was the brand left in his body by the Yang Power.

What was even more magical was that Yang Power also possessed the power of purification and rebirth. It could dispel all evil and curses, heal the most serious wounds in the world, and even bring a sliver of life in a desperate situation, letting a withered soul regain its vitality, just like the never-extinguishing fire of hope!

This Soul Vein was different from the Yin Power's Soul Vein. It brought a real and tangible soul skill—Resurrection. It was very similar to Bibi Dong's soul skill. As long as his True Qi still existed, at present, below the divine level, no one could kill Lin Feng again.

This was a very terrifying thing, because a Soul Vein was growable, and thus the strength of its soul skill would also change with it.

The change in Lin Feng's body was still continuing. He suddenly leaped up, his two feet steadily planted on the ground. A dense series of explosive sounds burst out from his entire skeleton, as if every bone were cheering and welcoming the arrival of the new power.

The yin and yang qi circulating around his body moved like living things, intertwining into one after another of mysterious patterns, demonstrating the perfect state of the yin-yang balance within his body.

Every inch of his skin, every tendon and bone, was gradually disintegrating under the baptism of this power, yet in the disintegration, it was nurturing a new life. Although it was a constant cycle of destruction and birth, and Lin Feng's flesh and blood trembled violently, he only felt a numbness all over his body, his entire body warm and comfortable.

In his mind, the Innate Treasure Pearl was even more so surrounded by a chaotic qi, slowly rotating. Every rotation seemed to be pulling the primordial qi between heaven and earth, providing Lin Feng with a continuous source of energy support.

This Innate Treasure Pearl in his mind had been born after Lin Feng's martial soul had entered his body. In his speculation, this was the final form of the Innate Treasure Pearl. Of course, it was also possible that it was its original form.

The opportunity of that chaos seemed to be connecting the yin and yang power. It emanated from within Lin Feng's spiritual sea and, together with the yin and yang power, poured into his dantian.

Finally, the Innate Treasure Pearl at his dantian, which had a five-colored brilliance, at this moment, took on the two colors of black and white!

The black and white colors fused with each other, yet were also distinct. In Lin Feng's Innate Treasure Pearl, they were on the left and right, like a diagram of Taiji, slowly rotating, driving the five-colored brilliance to circulate together, emitting an indescribable, profound aura.

He opened his two eyes. Within his two eyes, the two qis of yin and yang circulated, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world. At the same time, Lin Feng's aura suddenly soared.

Soul Douluo!

Titled Douluo!

Super Douluo!

Limit Douluo!

Boom—

The area within a hundred li was so shocked by this sudden pressure that it was as if it would crack. The primordial qi between heaven and earth surged crazily, as if responding to this sudden aura of a strong person. The yin and yang qi circulating around Lin Feng was like a solid entity, twisting the surrounding space!

"Roar!—"

"Scree—"

"Woo—"

The soul beasts of this northern domain were startled by these roars, shrill cries, and low whimpers. They seemed to have sensed this sudden, powerful aura and cried out in terror.

Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue were dumbfounded by this sudden change. They had never seen such an astonishing speed of improvement, let alone expected that Lin Feng, after condensing his seventh Soul Vein, could actually directly cross several realms and reach the level of a Limit Douluo.

"This... this is..." Qian Renxue murmured to herself, her eyes full of disbelief.

A complex look flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, a mixture of pleasant surprise and worry. She knew that Lin Feng's talent was astonishing, but this speed of improvement, even she found it unbelievable.

That yin and yang power, together with his True Qi, was completely a dimension-lowering strike against soul power, and even divine power.

Outside the Ice God's Grotto.

"What is this!?"

"Bingbing, did you see? What happened over there!"

"Xue'er, over there..."

The Snow Empress's trio looked at the direction of Lin Feng with shock. The sky there was covered by a thick cloud of yin and yang qi. From time to time, a golden light would pierce through the cloud layer, illuminating a large area of the northern domain. The light contained an indescribable majesty and power, as if everything between heaven and earth were trembling for it at this moment!

"That... that's Lin Feng?" The Ice Empress's voice carried disbelief. She stared intently in that direction, trying to capture more information from it.

The Snow Empress's brow was tightly furrowed. She had sensed the familiar aura contained in that power. It was undoubtedly Lin Feng. But the power of this strength was far beyond her expectations. "He... what is he doing? Why would it cause such a heaven-and-earth phenomenon?"

In the Land of the Extreme North, with the Snow Empress going all out, she could also reach the realm of a human Limit Douluo. But, wasn't that fellow still at the level of a peak Titled Douluo not long ago?

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also joined the discussion, its voice carrying a bit of shock and incomprehension. "This... this power seems to have touched the human Limit Douluo, and even... more profound. Xiao Feng, what on earth has he experienced?"

Outside the Ice God's Grotto, the trio looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and incomprehension.

"Let's go, let's go and see."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within his body. His heart was filled with an unprecedented confidence and heroism. From this moment on, he had already stood at the peak of this world, becoming a true powerhouse.

The cloud qi in the sky did not disperse, but on the contrary became more gloomy. Gradually, the sound of thunder came, shaking the universe!

Lin Feng stood proudly.
