Chapter 93 The Ice Emperor's Wrath: The Terrifying Speculation of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkwo

Chapter 93 The Ice Emperor's Wrath: The Terrifying Speculation of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm

Huo Yuhao is no longer the clueless boy who knew nothing about the world of Soul Masters.

"That Ice Sky Douluo is a Title Douluo!" Huo Yuhao's voice was filled with solemnity. "Moreover, he's a Title Douluo with the ultimate ice attribute. Even if it's just a clever trick to achieve the ultimate attribute, it still means that his strength far surpasses that of ordinary Title Douluos, and his true combat power might not be much inferior to that of a Super Douluo!"

For example, their dean, Yan Shaozhe, is a level 95 Super Douluo, one of the top beings on the continent.

In Huo Yuhao's mind, Dean Yan was almost an insurmountable peak.

The oppressive feeling emanating from that Ice Void Douluo, with its pure, extreme coldness and vastness, made him subconsciously feel that even if Dean Yan himself came, he might not be able to easily defeat the opponent who possessed the ultimate ice.

"How could we possibly snatch the soul bone back from such a being?" Huo Yuhao's tone was heavy with reality. "Acting rashly will only plunge us into an abyss of no return."

"Is this how it ends?" Hyotei's thoughts were filled with resentment and anger, but within that anger, there was also a faint sense of powerlessness as reality extinguished her anger. Although she was proud and irritable, she was not entirely incapable of weighing the pros and cons.

Titled Douluo, especially those with ultimate attributes, are indeed not someone Huo Yuhao can afford to offend right now.

"Of course we can't just let it go like this!" A determined glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. "We must get that soul bone back! But not now, not by throwing eggs against a rock."

He took a deep breath and calmly analyzed, "What we need to do now is become stronger! Constantly become stronger! When we have enough strength, when I become a Title Douluo, or even stronger, then we'll go find that Ice Void Douluo. At that time, whether through negotiation or—or other means—we'll have the leverage and confidence to reclaim the soul bone!"

"And..." Huo Yuhao added, trying to reassure Bingdi, "Isn't that soul bone only absorbable by those with extreme ice power? Since that Ice Void Douluo was able to bid for it, it means he's highly likely to be able to absorb it. With the soul bone in his hands, at least it won't be wasted or destroyed. That's better than it falling into the hands of someone who can't absorb it, and who knows where it will end up being traded for profit. It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. We still have time."

Ice Emperor fell silent. Huo Yuhao's words made a lot of sense. The overwhelming anger was gradually suppressed by the cold reality, transforming into a deeper, more stubborn hatred and a clearer goal.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now." The Ice Emperor's voice finally regained its usual icy coldness, but beneath that coldness burned an inextinguishable flame. "Yuhao, remember your words today. We'll become stronger first, and that soul bone will remain with that bastard for now. One day, we'll go and get it back ourselves!"

Just as the atmosphere eased slightly, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was always lazy and seemed to have no enthusiasm for anything, suddenly spoke in an unprecedentedly solemn voice.

"Bingbing, Yuhao, don't rush to conclusions." Tianmeng Bingcan's voice was unusually serious, losing its usual playfulness. "You seem to have overlooked a detail. Elder Yi just reminded me that there's something about Ice Void Douluo that's more important to him than his pseudo-ultimate ice form."

"Hmm? Dead Tianmeng, what did you and Elder Yi discover?" Bingdi's attention was drawn to it. Although her tone was still unfriendly, she knew that this million-year-old soul beast had an extraordinary sensitivity to danger.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have survived until now if it didn't have any fighting ability.

Huo Yuhao also focused his attention. "Brother Tianmeng, what is it?"

Tianmeng Bingcan's voice trembled slightly as he slowly said, "Think about it, Bingbing just said that the ultimate ice on his body is cold and rigid, possessing power but lacking spirituality. It is a pseudo-ultimate ice that was forcibly enhanced by external objects."

"This is already astonishing. What kind of existence is the ultimate attribute? Countless genius soul masters cannot even touch the threshold of it in their entire lives. To be able to create an external object that can temporarily give a titled Douluo a pseudo-ultimate attribute effect is beyond the capabilities of ordinary soul masters or even ordinary forces."

It paused, its tone growing heavier, before posing a question that instantly sent chills down the spines of both Huo Yuhao and Bingdi: "So, who exactly is this person or force capable of providing such heaven-defying external power?"

"This Ice Void Douluo is already a Title Douluo! To be able to command a Title Douluo and casually provide a precious external object capable of creating pseudo-ultimate attributes, just how terrifying must the power, influence, technology, or resources of the being behind him be?"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's thoughts were filled with apprehension. "What if—I mean, what if—this external force isn't unique, but can be mass-produced?"

"Mass production?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in shock, his consciousness fluctuating violently, almost unable to imagine the scene.

"That's right!" Tianmeng Bingcan's voice grew increasingly urgent. "If that mastermind could provide his subordinates with this kind of ultimate attribute power in bulk, even if each one could only maintain it for a short time, even if it wasn't as perfect as a true ultimate attribute, it would still be an ultimate attribute!"

"Imagine a team composed of several, or even a dozen, Soul Masters with extreme attributes, possibly including Title Douluo. If they suddenly unleash their power on the battlefield, what a devastating scene that would be."

Enough to instantly turn the tide of any battle! To overturn the balance of power across the entire continent!

Ice Emperor also fell silent. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's speculation was ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than a simple Ultimate Ice Sealed Douluo!

An isolated powerhouse, no matter how strong, has its limits. But a powerful entity that can "create" powerhouses, even mass-produce "ultimate attributes," poses a threat at a conceptually different level!

"Furthermore," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm added, his tone profound, "who can guarantee that he can only create the ultimate ice? What about fire, darkness, light, space... and other ultimate attributes? Is that also possible?"

This possibility caused both Huo Yuhao and Bingdi to feel a chill rising from the depths of their souls, far more piercing than Bingdi's ultimate ice.

They originally thought they were facing only an Ice Void Douluo, but now they realize that what they have glimpsed may only be the tip of the iceberg.

Beneath the deep, dark surface of the sea, there may lie a colossal creature beyond their imagination and comprehension!

The difficulty of plundering soul bones instantly soared from "challenging a powerful individual" to "fighting against an unknown, terrifying, and massive force or entity that wields disruptive power."

Huo Yuhao's heart sank. The confidence he had gained from his many advantages was replaced by a huge sense of crisis and insignificance.

Hyotei's anger was completely replaced by an extremely solemn vigilance. Reclaiming the Soul Bone was no longer something that could be achieved simply by increasing strength; it seemed to have drawn them into a deeper, darker vortex.

"It seems that our future path is much more difficult and dangerous than we imagined," Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, his fists clenching unconsciously.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed, "Yes, so Yuhao, try your best to become stronger. Otherwise, let alone reclaiming the Soul Bone, if there are drastic changes on the continent in the future, we may even have trouble protecting ourselves."
