After reading the ranking of the mainland's ferocious beasts, Skydream looked at the Ice Empress with desperation:
"The ranking of the top ten fierce beasts is indeed based on cultivation, but Di Tian's combat power should also be recognized as the strongest. Is the Snow Empress truly his match? The gap in their cultivation is nearly two hundred thousand years, after all."
"Two hundred thousand years..." For a moment, even the Ice Empress hesitated.
Who could have imagined that Di Tian's cultivation level had reached the terrifying milestone of 800,000 years?
Coupled with his racial superiority, even an Limit Douluo would struggle to compete with such overwhelming combat power.
"If he were in the Extreme North, the Snow Empress would not be inferior to him!" The Ice Empress remained defiant.
Ice Empress turned to Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, what do you think?"
"What do I think? I'd say it's a 50-50 chance. After all, I haven't witnessed the true strength of the mainland's top combatants. Judging from paper alone seems superficial."
After some thought, Huo Yuhao gave this answer.
In fact, based on the original work, Huo Yuhao personally believed that during the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, the Douluo Continent's Tier 1 combatants included many formidable beings:
Di Tian, the Evil Emperor (Master of Time and Space), the Snow Empress (ruler of the Extreme North), the Sea Princess (with her oceanic home advantage), Taotie (Mu En + Xuan Zi + Golden Tree), Niu Tian (a Level 99 Extreme Douluo with three red soul rings)...
But above Tier 1, there was another level—Tier 0.
Essentially, there was only one being at this level: the Serious Beast God Di Tian (who utilized spatial power for sneak attacks and wielded the Dragon God Claw). Without a doubt, he possessed the highest combat prowess on the entire continent.
Of course, this was after excluding the Silver Dragon King.
Setting aside his self-amusement and ignoring the daily bickering in the Spiritual Sea, Huo Yuhao returned his attention to the book in his hands.
Second, the Evil-Eyed Tyrant, the strongest soul beast of the Sun Moon Empire, revered as its totem. He once challenged Di Tian and escaped unscathed...
Eighth, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff, possessing a trace of true dragon bloodline.
Ninth, the Demonic Dragon King of Hell, with over 200,000 years of cultivation.
Huo Yuhao then examined the detailed information about the tenth-ranked beast.
Tenth, the Space-Time Demon Eye, suspected to be a variant of the Evil-Eyed Tyrant. It was speculated to reside in a different space within the Star Dou Forest.
Its primary attribute was spiritual, with secondary attributes of time and space. It primarily used spiritual attacks, and while its combat effectiveness was not exceptionally high, it excelled in utilizing spatial power.
It was elusive, unpredictable, and estimated to have nearly 200,000 years of cultivation...
"Space-Time Demon Eye?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the dark blue rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand.
It bore the same name as the one he had coined through the mouth of the demon spirit.
Moreover, based on Huo Yuhao's perception and identification, the abilities of this externally attached soul bone aligned perfectly with his Spirit Eye Martial Soul—both mental and time-space attributes, with an auxiliary gain-type skill.
However, perhaps now was not the best time to absorb it?
After all, this diamond-shaped crystal resembled a vertical pupil. Maybe the optimal moment for fusion would be when Huo Yuhao's Eye of Life was fully awakened.
Yet, ever since his Spirit Eye had undergone its upgrade and transformation, something had been gestating within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. This spiritual guidance had been sending constant signals of desire.
Thus, Huo Yuhao decided to fuse the external soul bone now.
Even Skydream agreed unanimously.
"Yuhao, in my opinion, now is the best time to fuse the external soul bone. Don't worry. With my help, you won't need to concern yourself with external interference."
In Skydream's view, the sooner Huo Yuhao fused this soul bone—which could enhance his mental power—the faster his spiritual origin could be absorbed, and the better.
If only there were techniques for cultivating spiritual power.
Skydream thought the Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eyes might suit Huo Yuhao. What a pity.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul was exceptionally powerful. Due to its evolution, his mental power was improving rapidly.
As his cultivation level continued to rise, Skydream also steadily unlocked his spiritual origin.
Now, by absorbing this external soul bone, Huo Yuhao could not only make a breakthrough but also accelerate the subsequent improvement of his mental power.
Killing two birds with one stone—perfect!
"Alright, let's find a quiet place first." Putting away the "Top Ten Ferocious Beasts Ranking," Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory on Sea God Island.
Entering the training room, he hung up the "Do Not Disturb" sign, took out the Space-Time Demon Eye's externally attached soul bone, and began the fusion process.
Sitting cross-legged and focusing his mind, Huo Yuhao summoned his Spirit Eye Martial Soul. He then placed the soul bone between his eyebrows and used his soul power to draw it in.
As the blue light of the soul bone bloomed, the purple-gold light between his eyebrows flashed, and the two merged upon contact.
A dark blue flame seemed to flicker at the center of Huo Yuhao's eyebrows. As time passed, the flame grew darker and darker.
Unlike the fusion process of the Dark Gold Terror Claw, Huo Yuhao felt no pain this time. Instead, he experienced unparalleled comfort, with a soothing sensation spreading throughout his body.
The first thing he felt was a warm aura, followed by strange energies continuously released from his spiritual sea, surging from the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows and pouring into the flame.
His mind felt empty, and he was immersed in a mysterious sensation. Everything around him seemed to have stopped—time, space, everything.
As the flame gradually dissipated, a complex blue-gold pattern formed between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows, complementing the purple-gold pattern around his pupils.
…
In the Spiritual Sea, a blue-gold vertical pupil opened.
Under its illumination, the entire spiritual sea seemed to transition from nothingness to reality.
Skydream also benefited, quickly unlocking the seal of her spiritual origin and helping Huo Yuhao expand his spiritual sea.
Within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the remaining nine bright golden light spheres hung in the air, slowly rotating.
The ninth light sphere gradually opened, releasing a golden spiritual origin that flowed into the spiritual sea below, merging with it.
As Skydream's spiritual origin fused, the spiritual sea—originally the size of a lake—expanded continuously until it reached its limit.
"It truly is a spiritual-type external soul bone! The effect is remarkable." Skydream couldn't help but marvel.
Originally, she had planned to wait until Huo Yuhao's soul power level increased before finding an opportunity to fuse a high-quality skull.
This would not only greatly enhance his spiritual power but also strengthen the stability and capacity of his spiritual sea.
"It's a pity that it only reached the level of a Contra and didn't achieve the realm of tangible and intangible spiritual power." The Ice Empress shook his head and said with a hint of frustration,
"Skydream, be content. Achieving the tangible and intangible state isn't easy. We'll likely have to wait until Yuhao's soul power level improves further and he fuses with a high-quality skull."
After all, the level of tangible and intangible spiritual power was already the upper limit for many non-spiritual Titled Douluo.
Skydream changed the subject, "Hey, Yuhao should be waking up soon. Let's ask him about his gains later."
The Ice Empress nodded, "Although the Space-Time Demon Eye's externally attached soul bone is relatively young, it suits Yuhao quite well."
