From human to god, one's own soul bones undergo a divine baptism, transforming along with the soul.
As someone who once achieved godhood, Huo Yuhao naturally knew this point well.
However, one must remember that in his previous life, Huo Yuhao did not achieve godhood through his own efforts, but directly inherited the Emotion God King Divine Position.
Therefore, the soul rings and soul bones did not impose any real constraints on him.
Had Elder Yi not brought it up, he truly wouldn't have thought of it from this angle.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head in deep thought. After a moment, he looked up at Electrolux:
"Elder Yi, you... should already have an idea, right?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Electrolux, knowing that since he had spoken this idea aloud, there was a high probability he already had a train of thought—perhaps even a complete result.
Electrolux showed a faint, kind smile, then raised his hand, revealing his own soul rings.
They were two grey rings, yet they were engraved with golden inscriptions and complex magic matrices. At the center of both grey soul rings, a soul core was hosted!
With just one glance, Huo Yuhao knew that these two soul rings carried far more than just one or two simple abilities. One carried all Necromantic Magic, while the other carried all Light Magic!
「Editing the Self Soul Ring」.
"Using Life Gold as the core, I sculpted my body bit by bit. During this process, I simultaneously influenced my body with my own soul and spirit, allowing my body to derive characteristics of both.
"However, seemingly due to the laws of this world, after I absorbed heaven-and-earth primordial energy, soul power was naturally born, and I became a soul master.
"When my soul power reached Rank 10, I used my spirit to intake heaven-and-earth primordial energy, then condensed this soul ring bearing my imprint according to the method you used previously.
"At that time, this body of spirit and soul felt the weight coming from the soul ring. After a simple attempt at research, I reached a conclusion.
"The soul master and soul ring system must have a physical body as support. Unless one uses an 'external' method like yours, Yuhao, a pure human body cannot withstand too many high-age soul rings.
"It was then that I thought of soul bones.
"The birth of a soul bone in a soul beast is partly due to the catalysis of world rules, and partly due to the situation where massive soul power nourishes the body over a long period.
"Thus, after killing approximately six thousand Soft-Boned Rabbits, I successfully observed the formation of soul bones twice.
"Finally... I obtained this."
Electrolux raised his left hand. His body, which possessed the dual qualities of spirit and soul, became slightly translucent, revealing the skeleton beneath...
It was brilliant gold.
Strands of gold silk extended from the nearby soul ring engraved with countless Light Magic spells. The power stored within seeped into his bones bit by bit, slowly strengthening Electrolux's skeletal structure.
The entire left arm bone was transforming and promoting under the nourishment of the soul ring, and the ultimate light aura was also modifying Electrolux's body post-natally.
Soul ring nourishing the bone!
Now, Electrolux's entire left arm bone, if rated by normal soul bone standards, could fully be considered a 100,000-year soul bone!
But compared to a normal soul master fusing a soul bone, Electrolux's method increased the physical strength of the entire body proportionally!
Normal soul masters do not have very strong physiques. Specifically, some Support System soul masters, even if they cultivate to the Titled Douluo level, might not be able to defeat a Soul Douluo or even a Soul Saint in direct combat; their combat power is visibly weak.
A normal soul master absorbing a 100,000-year soul bone will not give them a physical body on the same level as a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. Their physique will indeed be enhanced, but it is merely an enhancement, not a transformation.
But Electrolux's method could!
He used his left arm bone to carry the power from the soul ring, then bit by bit absorbed that power to refine himself, specifically strengthening the bone!
In other words, whatever level of soul bone is nourished by this method, that is the level of physical body one will possess!
"...The upper limit of this method depends on the limit of one's own soul ring. The total energy of a century soul ring can nourish a century soul bone in the body, but it will also cause that soul ring to lose all its power.
"This includes soul skills and everything else, which will be entirely lost, leaving only an empty shell.
"In such a case, the soul master's own soul power limit and physique will all rise to a certain extent.
"Furthermore, once this method is used, one cannot fuse soul bones. Otherwise, the energy circulation within the soul master will be broken by the alien energy from the soul bone, leading to damaged cultivation at best, or direct body explosion at worst."
Electrolux explained in great detail. To put it simply, it was trading one's soul rings and attached soul skills for incredibly powerful physical attributes.
If the normal soul master system is about firing soul skills at each other, then the system Electrolux created is equivalent to pure physical strength.
Just like a soul beast, once the body is strong to a certain degree, it becomes immune to soul skill damage. Supplemented by powerful recovery, one could fully tank soul skills with the physical body, then use the body's soul power to boost the frame—a pure physical extreme path.
One could say there are no issues with this path, and its applicability is even stronger! Because this path doesn't care about the martial soul!
If the normal path of a soul master requires looking at the quality and type of the martial soul to decide the future road.
Then Electrolux's path requires none of that!
"Normal soul masters cannot transform their own soul rings into pseudo-dantians to let the soul ring host a soul core. So, once the energy in their soul rings is fully integrated into the body, the soul ring becomes a mere decoration.
"But if one uses the 'Ring Fusion Spirit Ascension' currently under research to increase the age of the soul ring, could one repeatedly stack physical strength through this method, thereby... achieving physical godhood?"
Huo Yuhao unconsciously extended Electrolux's train of thought deeper. At this moment, he was already in a state of scientific excitement.
Furthermore, on top of this, Huo Yuhao thought of an even more promising path for this new system: adding "blood essence"!
A powerful body will inevitably derive powerful blood essence. Like soul power, blood essence will naturally dissipate once it reaches its upper limit.
And those soul rings that become empty shells—couldn't they be used exactly to host this blood essence?!
By filling the soul ring with this portion of blood essence, wouldn't that create a "blood essence soul ring"?!
During battle, if one directly triggers the blood essence to boost themselves, their physique would surely be strengthened again!
A soul master in such a state, when facing any physical injury, could easily achieve limb regeneration!
This is the path of climbing to the extreme of physical power and survival!
