Fifth Soul Skill – Sigh of the Gods!
The Ice God's ultimate passive divine skill.
Whenever faced with danger, an ice wall barrier will automatically appear. Unless ten gods of the same rank strike together, they can only sigh helplessly before this absolute defense!
Hmm…
But Huo Yuhao's soul power is limited. If the opponent is too strong and drains his blue bar dry, it can still be broken.
And then…
The enemy will face the Ice God's divine sense sealed within! Below rank 100, there's no escape—certain death!
In other words.
Unless Huo Yuhao commits suicide, even if an Ultimate Douluo shamelessly sneak-attacks, the best they can do is perish together with the Ice God's divine sense.
"This is way too strong." Tianmeng Iceworm sighed. "Compared to this, my Life Reflection Shield as a soul spirit doesn't even have a shred of face left."
"Brother Tianmeng, that's not right." Huo Yuhao comforted, "Your shield focuses on absorbing attacks and feeding back vitality, and it can be used infinitely. But this Sigh of the Gods—once it's used up, one of my trump cards is gone."
He meant to soothe him.
But Tianmeng Iceworm grew even gloomier. Just one sentence nearly made Yuhao choke.
The Iceworm muttered, "So basically, I'm the cheap one here…"
Huo Yuhao panicked a bit. That wasn't what he meant at all!
Seeing his expression, the Iceworm suddenly grinned.
"So this is what teasing someone feels like."
"No wonder Brother Lan messes with me every day—it's just for fun."
Zhuge Lan spread his hands. Otherwise what?
Couldn't be love, right?
Huo Yuhao realized he'd been tricked, but he didn't get angry.
He continued flying toward the Titan Snow Demon's territory, squeezing in time to cultivate the Controller's Secret Arts: 312 Basic Forms.
He even incorporated the Bloodshadow Flying Knives into the drills, learning to control this great weapon.
The only flaw was that practicing Mental Amplification required full concentration, meaning he couldn't multitask with Marrow Cleansing Sutra or learning new knowledge.
Half a day later.
Huo Yuhao arrived and asked Ah Tai how to command the Titan Snow Demon tribe.
"Master, activate the Ice God's imprint at your brow and release a trace of the Ice God's aura. The soul beasts of the Extreme North will naturally submit."
"Oh? It has that effect too?"
Yuhao grew interested. He focused his mind on the snowflake imprint at his brow.
With soul power injected, a faint Ice God phantom appeared behind him, releasing the aura of divinity unique to the Ice God.
"Boom——"
"Bang!"
"Crash——"
The surroundings erupted with noise. One Titan Snow Demon after another rushed out of their lairs, kneeling devoutly toward the Ice God phantom behind Yuhao.
[Fate Altered for Huo Yuhao, +20 Fortune Points!]
[Fate Altered… +19…]
[Fate Altered… +24…]
...
System prompts flashed across his mind in a flood, making Yuhao realize for the first time how terrifying faith was.
He didn't need to do anything. Just by standing there…
He could gain so much luck?
The Titan Snow Demon clan wasn't large, only a few hundred. Once every member had appeared, the notifications stopped.
Yuhao counted.
The number of prompts matched exactly with the number of Titans.
So, one beast equals one reward?
Good enough.
"Once the Ice God Hall is built, you can come back regularly to collect Luck Points." Zhuge Lan was ecstatic. "With so many soul beasts in the Extreme North, the minimum is ten million!"
Ten million Fortune Points?!
Yuhao's breath grew heavy, his anticipation surging.
"Swish——"
Ah Tai appeared in soul form, letting out a series of strange roars at the Titan Snow Demons below. It was their unique "language," with rhythm and cadence.
After a few minutes, the entire tribe responded in unison, roaring back before charging toward the Ice Jade Scorpion's territory. None dared delay the Ice God's grand cause.
One particularly powerful Titan remained, coming to Yuhao's side and kneeling down.
"Master, this is the second strongest of my clan, with a cultivation of ninety-eight thousand years. It will escort you forward," Ah Tai said.
Yuhao simply nodded, stepping onto its thick fur and finding a comfortable seat on its shoulder. He resumed training the 312 Basic Forms.
His Mental Amplification was about to break through to level 7, and that 100% completion urge left him unable to stop.

Inside his spiritual sea.
The Iceworm leaned close to Zhuge Lan.
"Brother Lan, Little Yuhao's Water Dragon King martial soul already has enough rings, but his Spirit Eyes only has one. Do you have a plan for that?"
"If not, I suggest creating a spiritual simulation from my Iceworm clan—it'll cover up his luxurious setup pretty well."
Zhuge Lan gave him a strange look.
Cover it up?
Why bother?
Right now Yuhao's background and configuration were so overwhelming that even if Black and White Twin Dragons Long Xiaoyao himself appeared, at worst the Ice God's divine sense would consume him in mutual destruction.
What was there to fear?
And then—
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
In the mental world, Zhuge Lan—who had no martial soul—suddenly rose with one scarlet soul ring after another beneath him!
Each was etched with ten golden patterns—true million-year soul rings!
All the soul spirits looked on in shock, countless guesses flashing through their minds.
Could he be a native powerhouse?
Or just spent Fortune Points to create this?
Or was he playing the pig to eat the tiger all along?
But when the scarlet rings passed nine, into double digits, then broke into triple digits—
All speculation shattered.
"It's an illusion." Electrolux murmured. "The work of a Mentalist specializing in illusions?"
"Yup. Old Electrolux, want to awaken one for fun?" Zhuge Lan teased.
The very treatment Tianmeng had longed for was right there, offered on a silver platter.
But Electrolux shook his head.
"That is not the path I walk. Greed only scatters one's focus, wasting resources. There's no need to squander it on me."
"Fair enough. You're not lacking in tricks anyway." Zhuge Lan nodded.
Then he turned to the Iceworm.
"So, how does my illusion compare with your mental simulation?"
"With Little Yuhao's Sharingan bonus, the effect will only be even stronger."
The Iceworm propped his chin on a foreleg, nodding in agreement.
"Then what about Yuhao's remaining four rings—any plan?"
"No rush." Zhuge Lan said casually. "Once the Ice God Hall is up, plenty of soul beasts will volunteer to become spirits. And across the continent, there are still plenty of ancient beasts alive."
"Hmm… okay then, I'll shut up."
Once business was over—
The Iceworm instantly switched to simp mode, sidling up to the Ice Empress.
"Bing Bing~ we still haven't done today's 21 sentences~"
"I'm cultivating. Later. Roll."
"Okay~"
The Iceworm obediently slunk off a distance, staring dreamily at the Ice Empress, bliss all over his face.
Zhuge Lan clicked his tongue.
This pair was just like Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi—only their roles of strength reversed.
In the original work, the Ice Empress finally gave in to the Iceworm. Was it also because she had no other choice?
After all, stuck in the same spiritual world, seeing each other day and night—that was worse than Jiang Nannan's predicament.
"Just earned a million, let me give you a boost."
[-80001 Fortune Points]
"Ahhh—pain pain pain!"
"What's happening?!"
"Save me! Save me!!"
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
