Chapter 156: The Fourth Soul Ring, -Year Mirror Shadow Beast
There was only an extremely wide ice path ahead, which was a hundred meters wide. Countless dark blue ice cones were hanging upside down above the ice cave, some of which had reached the ice surface. In the open space of the ice path, a strange soul beast was crouching.
It was a soul beast about ten meters long, with extremely strange scales all over its body, appearing a strange dark blue color, but Luo Hao noticed some clues from its scales.
That is not the color of its scales themselves, but a reflection of the color of the surrounding environment. In other words, each of its scales is like a small mirror, reflecting everything around it.
Seeing this soul beast, Luo Hao finally smiled: "It's really hard to find!"
"If I didn't have the ability to devour the soul memories of soul beasts, I would have accidentally discovered your traces in Bingdi's memories."
"I thought the Mirror Shadow Beast had become extinct." Luo Hao said.
This is also the target of Luo Hao's trip, a Mirror Shadow Beast whose cultivation level is as high as 58,000 years.
Ten thousand years ago, Uncle Sausage of the Shrek Seven Devils, the God of Food Douluo Oscar, obtained a 20,000-year-old sixth soul ring of the Mirror Shadow Beast, and with it, he gained powerful combat power as a food-type soul master.
The Mirror Shadow Beast is a second-tier soul beast, and with its innate soul skill - replication, it is also one of the top soul beasts.
It is second only to super soul beasts like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Pure-Blooded Dragon.
Especially since the opponent's attributes are spirit and ice, they are highly compatible with Luo Hao's Phoenix Martial Soul.
What excited Luo Hao the most was the Mirror Shadow Beast's core talent and soul skill - replication.
There are some similarities between the two, but also some differences, and the innate soul skill - rubbing - that Huo Gua Wuhuan used to hunt the Silver-Eagle Beast in the original novel.
The Mirror Shadow Beast's copying soul skill can directly copy all the abilities of a soul master or soul beast. Oscar uses blood as a medium, and then directly copies the blood owner's martial soul and uses all its soul skills, but the power will be reduced to only 70% to 80% of the original.
The soul rubbing skills of Yinying Beast are equivalent to using mental power to directly reconstruct a soul skill that he has seen or copied, and the number of times the soul skill is stored will be increased according to its age.
Mirrormon can be considered an evolved version of Silvermon.
But the same soul beast behaves completely differently in different soul masters.
When absorbing the same type of soul beast, the soul skills created by a food-type soul master and the soul skills created by a control-type soul master are very different.
Therefore, Luo Hao will not obtain the soul skill that Oscar possesses.
But according to Luo Hao's speculation, the Mirror Shadow Beast will provide a copy-type soul skill anyway.
Luo Hao has long-term plans for his soul skills. Unless the soul skills are more than 100,000 years old, he will only choose functional soul skills or amplification soul skills.
After all, compared to other worlds, these amplifying soul skills similar to game buffs and various almost unreasonable soul skills are the only things that the Douluo system can show off.
Moreover, the later the game progresses, the less useful the spirit rings with lower age become. Only functional or amplifying spirit skills can be used as a mere tool in the later stages.
In fact, Luo Hao doesn’t care about the copy of the Mirror Shadow Beast.
The copying ability is at most seven or eight levels. For a truly strong person, it is not much different from that of a common soldier.
Because they know themselves best, no matter their strengths or weaknesses, not to mention that they only have 70% to 80% of their strength.
Enough to understand the replica at the fastest speed.
But Luo Hao was very concerned about the extension effect of replication.
Copying all of the opponent's abilities is a huge advantage in combat.
It is equivalent to knowing all of the opponent's abilities and understanding the opponent's nine soul ring skills before the battle, so as to make targeted tactics.
How against the will of heaven.
This is definitely intelligence at the MAX level.
He really likes this ability.
"Ding!" Luo Hao made up his mind, and the few water molecules in the air gathered in the palm of his hand and turned into a crystal clear snowflake.
Luo Hao struck out with one palm, and the snowflakes evolved from being extremely soft to being extremely hard. The Mirror Shadow Beast, crouching on the ice, instantly jumped up, and the danger from above made it roar, and it quickly jumped to the right according to the direction of the air fluctuations, and rolled to the ground. At the moment it landed, a violent collision sound came from the place where it was before.
Where it was previously, a huge ice cone was stuck there. Because the ice cone was too sharp, it was frozen directly on the ice surface without breaking or falling.
"Hoohoo!"
The sound of the howling wind and snow was loud in this small cave.
snowflake!
More than one snowflake was flying, crystal clear, like white petals, surrounding Luo Hao. At this moment, Luo Hao seemed to have turned into a snow elf in the far north.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding..."
The ice cone was just the beginning of everything. Under Luo Hao's mind control, the entire environment had become a domain that belonged exclusively to him.
Snowflakes turned into icicles.
This is an unparalleled feast of ice and rain.
This Mirror Shadow Beast is worthy of being one of the strongest among the top soul beasts. Because it is a spiritual soul beast, its perception and reaction ability are far superior to those of soul beasts of the same level. It can detect the ice cone in the instant it is shot out, and then calmly avoid it.
The Mirror Shadow Beast dodged the ice cones that could fall at any time while looking for Luo Hao's trace.
It should be mentioned here that Luo Hao’s second soul skill is similar to Huo Yuhao’s second soul skill. Both are simulations, but the soul beasts obtained are different and the forms of expression are also different.
Relying on his intangible mental power, Luo Hao's simulated Mirror Shadow Beast could not be seen through.
The next moment, Luo Hao appeared and he took the initiative to cancel the simulation.
"I won't bully you anymore!"
The Mirror Shadow Beast twisted and transformed into an Ice Jade Scorpion. Its movements were extremely agile, as it shuttled through the flying snowflakes and icicles and rushed towards Luo Hao.
"Hmm, has the 50,000-year-old Mirror Shadow Beast been able to develop replication to this extent?!"
Luo Hao raised his hand, his wings spread out, and his black hair turned white.
purple!
purple!
red!!!
Three spirit rings rose from under his feet.
The scarlet soul ring appeared.
A ferocious beast aura that made him tremble came down like a mountain pressing down on his head. His limbs trembled and he crawled on the ground, completely unable to move for a moment.
The breath belonging to the Ice Emperor triggered the most primitive fear in its blood. It was both the contempt of the blood and the natural barrier of the life level. In the world of soul beasts, the influence of blood is particularly serious.
The pressure of the bloodline aura made the Mirror Shadow Beast unable to move. In fact, not only soul beasts, but also human beast soul masters will have different increases and decreases in strength in battle due to the difference in bloodlines.
For example, Tang Wulin in Douluo Dalu, with his Golden Dragon King bloodline, overwhelmed the beast spirit masters who fought against him. As long as the beast spirit did not have a particularly strong bloodline, basically, before the fight officially started, the combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least several percent just because of the difference in bloodline.
This was especially true for dragon-type martial spirits, which even the Holy Dragon of Light would be three points weaker than.
Basically, the outcome was determined before the war even started.
The blood aura from the Ice Emperor directly turned it back to its original form from the simulated copy of the Ice Scorpion.
Transform back into Mirror Beast.
"Roar!" The Mirror Shadow Beast let out a timid roar as a protest, as if to say, I am not easy to bully.
Mirror Beast used its copying ability again and transformed into an enormous ice bear.
Even though the replica had flaws and could only unleash 70% to 80% of its power, it was still enough to rival a 30,000-year-old ice bear, and was stronger than most Soul Emperors.
