Chapter 41 Silver Moon Wolf Queen - Crescent Moon
When Brigitte left Shrek City, she went to a bookstore and practically emptied it, buying the entire bookshelf. She also visited several bookstores and bought out all the early childhood education materials. There were also boxes of notebooks and pens.
At this moment, these books, along with the bookshelves, have been placed in the newly excavated cave. Any beast that wants to read them can go in and read them on its own. This also makes it easier for fast-learning soul beasts like the Demon King and Emperor Qiu to study on their own. It can be said that their progress has been delayed by other soul beasts.
In the past few days, Emperor Tian's decrees spread like invisible ripples throughout the core and mixed areas of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The vast majority of soul beasts with cultivation levels of over 100,000 years, whether they were dormant, cultivating, or guarding a region, received a message from the Beast God.
At this moment, a gathering is underway beside the Lake of Life.
Besides the six ferocious beasts in the core area, including Di Tian and Di Qiu, there were several other powerful auras.
Di Tiandao said, "Everyone, our Soul Beast race is about to undergo a transformation. Next, please let my ally, Electrolux, explain the 'Soul Spirit Technology' to us."
Electrolux then clearly reiterated the concept, opportunities, and potential risks of the "Soul Contract."
Then Di Tian emphasized the "pioneer" mission of the first volunteer and that he would give the volunteer's people a batch of rare and precious materials.
A moment of silence fell over the room.
The hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts present were all overlords who had survived countless battles and tribulations, possessing both wisdom and vigilance.
This unprecedented path, though seemingly a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, is fraught with unknowns, causing many soul beasts to hesitate.
Just then, a sharp yet somewhat dilapidated aura of pressure approached from afar.
The beasts looked and saw a huge silver figure walking unsteadily through the forest toward the venue.
Her entire body was covered in silvery hair as white as moonlight, and her figure was agile and fluid.
However, as she approached, all the spirit beasts clearly saw the mutilation on her body—her left forelimb was severed at the root, leaving only a bare shoulder, and her body was covered with terrifying crisscrossing scars, especially a tear in her abdomen that almost went through her, which still faintly exuded a chilling aura.
This is none other than Crescent Moon, the Silver Moon Wolf Queen with 110,000 years of cultivation!
She walked to the center of the venue, ignoring the sympathetic or inquisitive gazes around her. She first looked respectfully at Di Tian and bowed her head in greeting, then looked directly at the phantom of Electrolux floating beside Huo Yutong.
"Lord Emperor Tian, Ilex," Crescent Moon said, "I am aware of what you have discussed. I, Crescent Moon, volunteer to be the first to attempt this 'Soul Contract'."
A hint of reluctance flashed in Brigitte's eyes as she softly said, "Crescent Moon, do you fully understand what this means?"
This technique has not yet been verified. Once it is used, your soul and future will be completely bound to a human Soul Master.
"I understand." A trace of deep-seated hatred and helplessness flashed across Crescent Moon's eyes.
"Although I survived my battle with 'Frost Douluo,' the essence of his Frost Sword Martial Soul had already invaded my very being. These scars are merely a facade; my soul and foundation have long been corroded by the cold poison, enduring excruciating pain of being frozen and eroded day and night. Not to mention..."
She looked up at the sky, her voice filled with resentment and despair: "With my current broken body, it's impossible for me to survive the next tribulation."
Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well use my remaining life to fight for a different future for my people and for myself!
She looked intently at Ilex: "If I successfully transform into a spirit, I will not only be able to continue my existence in another form, but I will also be able to witness the grave of Frost Douluo!"
This is far more meaningful than dying alone under the heavenly tribulation, or having one's soul completely frozen by the icy poison!
Di Tian spoke up: "Crescent Moon, are you sure? Once you go down this road, there's no turning back."
Crescent Moon lowered its body, its remaining three limbs supporting it, adopting the most solemn posture of submission and pleading among wolves:
"My Lord Emperor, my mind is made up! Please grant my request!"
Yueya did not participate in Ditian's literacy class, as she was seriously injured and needed to recuperate.
A hundred years ago, her clan fought a battle against the Soul Hunter Team led by Frost Douluo and two other Heavenly Soul Douluos.
Both Crescent Moon and Frost Douluo were seriously injured. Crescent Moon's husband, the Silver Moon Wolf King, who had 150,000 years of cultivation, died from his injuries. His eldest son also died in battle, and the clan's vitality was greatly weakened.
Then Crescent Moon joined forces with other 100,000-year-old soul beasts who, like her, had lost their parent beasts, and requested Emperor Tian to launch a beast tide—this is the origin of the beast tide a hundred years ago.
The clan is currently led by its youngest son, the Silver Moon Wolf King, who has only 50,000 years of cultivation. The Golden Wolf Clan of the Jingyang Mountains of the Sun Moon Empire is a branch of this clan.
Although Brigitte possesses powerful healing abilities, the number of soul beasts she can heal is limited.
Frost Douluo's Soul Hunting Team was reduced to a few survivors. Of the two Title Douluos, one was crippled and the other died from severe injuries. Frost Douluo himself perished a few decades later.
The corpse of the Soul Douluo who hunted for the ninth Soul Ring was devoured to pieces by the Silver Moon Wolf King's clan, and the corpses of the other team members were not spared either.
All the beasts present focused their attention on Electrolux and Huo Yutong.
The historic first step of the soul contract will thus be taken.
Electrolux's voice carried a hint of approval and seriousness:
"I sense your resolve. Your situation is unique; the purification of the cold poison and the stabilization of your remnant soul must be considered when constructing the contract. Yu Tong..."
Huo Yutong immediately stepped forward, her small face full of seriousness and determination: "Teacher, Senior Crescent Moon, I'm ready!"
All the soul beasts on the shore of the Lake of Life held their breath, their eyes focused on the human and wolf in the arena, as well as the three faintly visible phantoms behind Huo Yutong.
Electrolux's soul projection shone brightly: "The ritual begins! Crescent Moon, open your mind and guide your soul's origin and core of soul power!"
"Rainy Eyes, circulate your cultivation technique, open your spiritual sea, use sincerity as a guide, and your soul as a bridge!"
Huo Yutong immediately sat down cross-legged, silently activating her Spirit Eye Martial Soul. Her soul power circulated throughout her body, and her spiritual sea was like an undefended harbor, radiating a pure and inclusive aura.
Crescent Moon gave Huo Yutong a deep look, then resolutely closed her azure wolf eyes. A dazzling silver beam of light shot into the sky from her massive body, and within the beam, a slightly damaged wolf-shaped soul phantom, wreathed in wisps of black cold energy, slowly emerged.
However, as soon as the phantom of the soul appeared, an extreme chill instantly spread out, and even the surrounding air condensed into ice crystals.
That was the original cold poison left behind by Frost Douluo, like a bone-deep ailment, not only eroding Crescent Moon's body, but also constantly corroding her soul.
"Now! Hyotei, purify the cold poison!" Electrox shouted in a deep voice.
"Leave it to me!"
Hyotei's voice rang out, and a beam of emerald light arrived first, instantly enveloping the illusory soul of Silver Moon.
That light was not a warm, vibrant light, but rather a purer, more extreme rule of ice!
As one of the three great kings of the far north, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's chill is the embodiment of the coldest heaven and earth, the ultimate ice, far surpassing the frost and cold of human martial souls.
Where the azure light passed, the black chill that had been clinging to the crescent moon's soul, like snow meeting the blazing sun, hissed and quickly melted away, completely assimilated and purified by the higher-level, ultimate ice!
The ominous grayness on the crescent moon's phantom quickly faded, revealing its original bright, moon-like silver radiance.
The excruciating pain on the soul level suddenly lessened, and Crescent Moon couldn't help but let out a long, drawn-out wolf howl filled with a sense of relief.
Although the cold poison has been removed, the fundamental turbulence and instability of Crescent Moon's soul caused by long-term erosion and severe physical damage have become more apparent.
