Volume 31, Chapter 388.2: Offering! Emperor Beast (2/2)

The Ice Empress had become like she was back then, and she seemed to have recovered some of her memory. These three powerful beings weren’t excited or overjoyed about their transformations at all at this moment. Instead, they were filled with some indescribable emotions.

Of course they knew what had just happened. In that moment, not even they knew how to extinguish Huo Yuhao’s burning spiritual flames with all their power and strength. However, Wang Qiu’er did it, and they were kneeling for her.

Huo Yuhao wasn’t the only person that Wang Qiu’er had saved – they were saved as well, and even though they could have continued to survive within Wang Qiu’er’s spiritual world, that outcome wasn’t something that they had wanted.

In terms of age and cultivation, even though Wang Qiu’er was the Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she only had several tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Naturally, she couldn’t take these three powerful beings, who all had at least four hundred thousand years of cultivation each. But these three powerful beings knew that what Wang Qiu’er ha done for Huo Yuhao wasn’t something they could do, and so they knelt for her out of respect.

Sacrifice! Yes, only a Sacrifice could produce such tremendous changes.

Wang Qiu’er was the human form of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was also the Emperor Beast, and the god-beast of Destiny. No matter how much her appearance, personality, and emotions resembled those of a human, she was still empirically a soul beast in the end.

Soul beasts always became soul rings after death, and human soul masters could absorb them once they reached their bottlenecks. Soul masters depended on soul rings to break through their bottlenecks.

However, there was a very special situation amongst soul beasts. If a soul beast was willing to sacrifice itself to become a human’s soul ring, then its soul ring would fuse with the soul master at the highest possible level. However, this soul beast would lose its life in the process, and even its spirit would be completely integrated into that soul master’s spirit during this fusion process. The soul beast’s spirit would disappear forever.

This fusion process that required death without any reciprocation at all was known as Sacrifice.

Wang Qiu’er wanted to save Huo Yuhao, and she wanted to make sure that he wouldn’t die after his spiritual sea was incinerated, so she chose the most intense, cruel, resolute, and passionate method.

The Skydream Iceworm, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress didn’t dare to do so, but Wang Qiu’er did so for Huo Yuhao.

Just as she said, she didn’t want to lose to Wang Dong’er again, and she would never lose to Wang Dong’er again in this moment.

She knew that even though that she took up some space in Huo Yuhao’s heart, she could never compare to Wang Dong’er. This ceremony was the only way for her body, spirit, and everything that she was to be integrated into his body so that she would never be separated from him.

She offered herself to Huo Yuhao not just to save him. At the same time, she did so because of that burning passion in her heart. She chose the proudest method to announce her sovereignty over Huo Yuhao.

After this divine ceremony was complete, Wang Qiu’er and Huo Yuhao would never be apart. They had truly become one body.

Perhaps this was their destiny from the moment Huo Yuhao’s forehead pressed against hers, from the moment he obtained his Eye of Destiny from her.

She was the god-beast of Destiny, but she couldn’t escape fate and the pull of destiny in the end.

Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea and his soul power were sublimated into hers, and everything that he had was fusing with her rapidly. His burning spiritual sea regained its original shape, and it was even more voluminous than before. His spiritual sea fully stepped into the concrete-material realm, and in terms of Huo Yuhao’s spiritual strength, he was now amongst the most powerful beings in the world.

A halo quietly appeared on Huo Yuhao’s body, and it drew out five other circles that were respectively white, purple, black, black, and black. This most recent soul ring aligned itself at the back, but it had a peculiar golden color. It shone with faint rosy colors but retained the brilliance and dazzling elements of gold.

This was the third time that a peculiar soul ring that transcended normal soul rings had appeared on Huo Yuhao’s body. His glossy white million-year soul ring, his orange-gold soul rings that represented the Snow Empress’ spirit, and this newest rose-gold soul ring made Huo Yuhao seem like he was a being that came from another world as if he wasn’t a soul master from the Douluo Continent.

Finally, all those golden colors integrated into his body completely, and the spheres of light that were rotating rapidly finally stopped, and gradually descended to the ground.

Everything around them was still black and white while rolling thunder boomed in the sky. Violent and hysterical winds billowed through the air as mountains shook and the earth trembled at that moment, and lightning sparkled and flashed in the heavens. Rolling thunder echoed continuously, as though heaven and earth were about to shatter into a million pieces.

A dash of blood-red light flickered far off on the horizon, and an indescribable and enormous pressure caused all the soul beasts in the Douluo Continent to raise their heads at the same time.

……

Inside the Great Star Dou Forest...

Thunder continued to boom as heavy rain poured from the sky. The entire Great Star Dou Forest witnessed torrential rain that they wouldn’t see more than once in a century… but strangely, there wasn’t a single dark cloud in the sky. There was only a patch of blood-red color at the other end of this rainstorm, and the sky above the entire Great Star Dou Forest was stained this same blood-red.
