Chapter 110: Breaking Through to Soul Saint Level, the Power of the Atlas True Body!
Midair, Yun Yuan, and the Titan Snow Demon King's attacks collided.
In an instant, a terrifying shockwave exploded outward. The surrounding glaciers within a hundred meters shattered violently, and countless ice crystals poured down like a snowy waterfall.
But immediately after, the force of Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear directly tore apart the Titan Snow Demon King's physical defenses, punching a massive hole straight through its heart.
"Roar—!"
A deafening roar echoed through the sky, followed by the rapid loss of the Titan Snow Demon King's life force.
With its heart pierced, the Titan Snow Demon King was not far from death. The only reason it still retained consciousness was due to its immense cultivation.
"How can a human be this powerful…!"
At the final moment of its life, the Titan Snow Demon King let out a sigh. Then all signs of life vanished, and its massive body crashed onto the ground, smashing a huge crater into the ice plain.
Seeing the Titan Snow Demon King dead, Yun Yuan appeared beside its enormous body, withdrawing his soul rings and martial soul.
Not long after, a blood-red soul ring floated up from the Titan Snow Demon King's corpse. Two golden patterns were etched upon it, indicating that its age had exceeded 200,000 years.
Looking at the soul ring, a flash of excitement passed through Yun Yuan's eyes. He spread his spiritual power across a ten-thousand-meter radius. After confirming that no reckless soul beasts were approaching, he sat cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring.
The Titan Snow Demon King was a fierce beast with a powerful bloodline. Even the blood it shed upon death was enough to deter ten-thousand-year soul beasts from approaching.
Because Yun Yuan's strength was sufficient to absorb the soul ring, his condition remained excellent throughout the process.
A few hours later, when the 200,000-year soul ring with two golden patterns circled around Yun Yuan, he slowly opened his eyes.
Next, he carefully sensed the changes within himself.
First was his talent and comprehension. He could clearly feel his mind becoming clearer, and his thinking speed had increased.
Second, he summoned his martial soul, the Atlas Spear. Its strength had grown as usual, but it still had not broken through that boundary. There was no qualitative transformation yet.
Finally, there was a change in his soul power level. It had directly increased by five ranks, from rank seventy to rank seventy-five, completing half the journey of the Soul Saint realm.
Yun Yuan was not surprised by this result. When obtaining his seventh soul ring, he had also absorbed a 100,000-year soul bone in the Douluo Hall. The accumulated soul power within his body naturally manifested upon breaking through.
Although the Titan Snow Demon King was a fierce beast with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation, and its soul ring could normally grant two soul skills, after a soul master reaches rank seventy, the seventh soul ring skill is fixed to the Martial Soul True Body. Priority is given to the position rather than the soul ring's age, and it can only provide one skill—the Martial Soul True Body.
Once the Martial Soul True Body is awakened, not only do all attributes double, but the origin of the martial soul is also awakened. It can also enlarge and materialize weapon-type martial souls, resulting in a massive increase in strength.
It could be said that the two most important stages for a soul master were Soul Saint and Titled Douluo. After breaking through these two realms, one's strength would undergo a qualitative leap.
At this moment, Yun Yuan was already eager to test the power of his Atlas True Body, but first, there was something else he needed to do.
He turned his gaze toward the massive corpse of the Titan Snow Demon King. Soul beasts above one hundred thousand years would always drop a soul bone.
Thus, this Titan Snow Demon King also possessed a soul bone over two hundred thousand years old.
After searching for a while, Yun Yuan finally found it in the Titan Snow Demon King's left arm. After extracting it, he chose to absorb it immediately.
A soul bone of over two hundred thousand years fully met Yun Yuan's requirements. Moreover, since his seventh soul ring came from the Titan Snow Demon King, absorbing its soul bone was perfectly compatible.
An hour later, Yun Yuan completed the absorption of the soul bone. His soul power level rose from rank seventy-five to rank seventy-seven. He was now only three ranks away from obtaining another soul ring.
However, he was not in a hurry to break through to the Soul Douluo level. During the Soul Saint stage, Yun Yuan had his own goals to achieve.
After absorbing the Titan Snow Demon King's soul bone, the abilities it granted were called Extreme Ice Impact Cannon and Ten Thousand Ice Lock Formation.
Extreme Ice Impact Cannon was an offensive soul bone skill. It could condense a beam of energy filled with extreme cold power. The beam shot forward like a meteor, freezing everything in its path.
Ten Thousand Ice Lock Formation was a control-type soul bone skill. It could summon a massive ice-lock formation to control the battlefield. Countless ice chains spread across the sky, capable of binding and restraining with powerful control.
Yun Yuan was quite satisfied with the Ten Thousand Ice Lock Formation. As for the Extreme Ice Impact Cannon, it was decent but not outstanding.
He did not lack powerful offensive abilities. What he lacked was control abilities. The Atlas Spear Art itself was his strongest offensive method.
In the future, once Yun Yuan gradually perfected the Atlas Spear Art, each of its techniques could become divine techniques or even surpass them.
After understanding his soul bone skills, Yun Yuan wanted to summon his Atlas True Body and test its power.
In the next moment, Yun Yuan grasped at the void, and the Atlas Spear appeared in his hand. Seven soul rings emerged around him.
The seventh blood-red soul ring lit up.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Atlas True Body!"
With a soft shout, the Atlas Spear in Yun Yuan's hand suddenly expanded to a hundred zhang, transforming from an incandescent translucent spear into a colossal true body that spanned heaven and earth.
The spear gleamed with white-hot flowing silver. Its tip shone like a blazing sun. The ancient character "Atlas" on the shaft radiated divine light across a hundred zhang, while countless star patterns surged and flowed along the weapon.
This divine spear could uphold the heavens and suppress the underworld. Wherever its tip pointed, space itself collapsed.
With one sweep of the spear, heaven and earth seemed to lose their color!
"The Atlas True Body is truly powerful. I feel that in this state, I can rival a Limit Douluo."
Yun Yuan held the hundred-zhang divine spear with one hand, sensing its immense power, and could not help but sigh.
Then, he locked onto a towering thousand-meter ice mountain ten thousand meters away. His arm sank slightly before he swung horizontally.
There was no immediate earth-shattering explosion. Only an extremely condensed spear force tore through the void. A violent torrent of soul power, carrying the suppressive might of the Atlas True Body, collided head-on with the entire ice mountain.
A moment of silence.
From the peak to the base, across the entire thousand-meter structure, dense silver-white cracks spread like a spiderweb.
In the next instant, a thunderous explosion erupted!
The entire towering ice mountain shattered completely—the exploding ice mist shot into the sky, blotting out the sun. The once-majestic thousand-meter ice mountain was gone.
Seeing this, Yun Yuan nodded in satisfaction. The power of the Atlas True Body exceeded his expectations.
At that very moment, the temperature within a thousand meters of Yun Yuan suddenly plummeted, nearly reaching absolute zero. Space itself showed icy cracks, and countless snowflakes froze midair.
"Human, you dare to trespass into my Extreme North and kill one of its kings. What crime do you plead guilty to?"
