Chapter 61 Perfect Fusion, Ten Thousand Years!
The moment Ice Emperor appeared, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could no longer contain its excitement and burst out of Huo Yuhao's body, running excitedly towards Ice Emperor.
Looking at Tenmu in front of him with disgust, Hyotei stretched out his large claw and pressed it against Tenmu's little head.
Nevertheless, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have long been accustomed to Ice Emperor's temper. He just chuckled and kept rubbing his head against Ice Emperor's big claw, squinting his eyes with pure enjoyment.
Huo Yuhao was already used to the way Tianmeng and Bingdi interacted. On the contrary, the two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Bing'er, blushed and looked at Bingdi and Tianmeng who were snuggling together, while their eyes kept glancing at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao didn't notice the two girls' unusual behavior. He turned around and introduced them to Shui Yun'er with a smile: "Aunt Shui, let me introduce you. These are my friends, Bingdi and Tianmeng. Bingdi, Tianmeng, this is Dean Shui of Tianshui Academy. These Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrows belong to Dean Shui. These are Bing'er and Yue'er."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tianmeng Bingcan chuckled and teased, "I know these two little girls without an introduction. Aren't they your little girlfriends, Yuhao? As for Dean Shui, of course she's the future... Hmm, if you ask me, don't be so polite. We're practically in-laws." Tianmeng Bingcan's words were somewhat playful, but also revealed a hint of sincerity.
After observing for a long time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm naturally understood Shui Yun'er's thoughts perfectly. Sure enough, after hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, Shui Yun'er's face immediately filled with smiles, her expression softened, and even her gaze towards Tianmeng and Bingdi became more amiable.
As for Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, their faces were already flushed with embarrassment, but the two girls reacted differently.
Shui Yue'er had buried her head tightly in Shui Bing'er's arms, her face so red it seemed like it could drip water. Although Shui Bing'er's face was also flushed, she would occasionally look up at Huo Yuhao, seemingly observing his reaction.
Hearing Tianmeng Bingcan's words, Huo Yuhao glared at him irritably: "Brother Tianmeng, stop messing around. Bing'er and Yue'er are only six or seven years old. What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep doing this, I'll get angry."
Tianmeng Bingcan chuckled but didn't continue the conversation.
Huo Yuhao slowly stepped forward and said to Shui Yun'er, "Senior Shui, next, my friend Bingdi is going to absorb these ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow. It might make quite a commotion. I will have my teacher protect you and Bing'er and Yue'er later."
As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Shui Yun'er's bright, radiant eyes flickered a few times. She seemed to be thinking about something, but ultimately remained silent.
Suddenly, a dazzling light shattered the surrounding tranquility, and then an old man in a gray robe silently appeared beside Huo Yuhao.
Electrolux looked around, then nodded and said to Huo Yuhao, "Alright, Yuhao, Little Scorpion, you can begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Electrox waved his staff lightly, and a golden light instantly spread out, forming a transparent barrier.
This barrier tightly surrounded the Shui sisters, Shui Yun'er and Shui Bing'er, like an invisible protective shield.
Immediately afterwards, an even more magnificent barrier appeared, resembling a giant hemispherical dome that enveloped the entire mountain, ensuring it would not be disturbed by the outside world.
After Electrolux finished all this, Ice Empress also began her actions. She no longer suppressed the powerful force within her, and the pressure of a 390,000-year-old soul beast descended like an abyss. She began to absorb the surrounding 10,000-year-old Xuanbing marrow to her heart's content.
Although Shui Yun'er was isolated by the barrier, she could still feel the suffocating pressure emanating from Bing Di. This pressure reminded Shui Yun'er of a past experience when she had faced a Title Douluo-level powerhouse. That was a level 94 Title Douluo, whose strength was so great that Shui Yun'er could only look up to him.
However, compared to the Ice Emperor before him, the aura of that Title Douluo seemed insignificant.
Above Tianshui City, the surrounding air seemed to vibrate slightly due to some mysterious force.
Streams of pure energy, like invisible streams, continuously converged on Hyotei's body and were eventually absorbed by it.
After absorbing this pure energy, Hyotei's body began to undergo significant changes.
Her aura, already incredibly powerful, began to surge even higher, seemingly without limit. In this process, Hyotei's aura rapidly broke through previous boundaries, reaching a new height—the critical point of four hundred thousand years.
The instant the Ice Emperor's cultivation reached four hundred thousand years, the entire sky above Tianshui City was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds. These clouds were thick and gloomy, as if darkness was pouring out from cracks in the sky.
Under the cover of dark clouds, a terrifying and destructive aura, suffocating and overwhelming, surged between heaven and earth, as if the entire world would tremble before this power.
The residents of Tianshui City, regardless of who they were, all sensed this unusual atmosphere.
They all looked up in terror at the ominous clouds looming in the sky. Some were pale, their lips trembling, kneeling on the ground and praying silently, hoping the disaster would spare them; others closed their doors and windows in fear.
Within the clouds of calamity, terrifying bolts of lightning could already be clearly seen brewing.
These lightning bolts rolled through the clouds like giant dragons, each flash accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder.
If all these lightning bolts were to fall, the entire Tianshui Academy, along with the surrounding buildings, would be reduced to ashes and completely destroyed in an instant.
However, amidst this tense atmosphere, Huo Yuhao remained unusually calm. He took a deep breath and began chanting ancient necromancy. As he chanted, a golden six-pointed star magic circle slowly appeared beneath his feet, radiating dazzling light.
The golden light grew brighter and brighter, as dazzling as the sun, completely enveloping Huo Yuhao and Bingdi.
Bathed in this golden light, Hyotei's figure began to become ethereal, as if her body was gradually merging into another dimension.
"Yuhao, bear with it, I'm about to start!"
With a sharp shout from the Ice Emperor, the entire space seemed to tremble. Immediately afterwards, a massive and icy surge of energy, like a torrent, rushed into Huo Yuhao's body.
The energy was so intense that Huo Yuhao could feel every cell in his body trembling.
An extreme chill instantly surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind. It must be understood that the Ice Emperor was a being of four hundred thousand years, and the extreme ice on her body had long since approached absolute zero. This coldness surpassed the limits of what ordinary people could imagine, as if it could even freeze time.
Even though Huo Yuhao had come a long way on the path of ultimate ice, he still felt a chill that penetrated to his very bones. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered.
However, this cold was just the beginning. After the cold subsided, Ice Emperor's soul power began to flow continuously into Huo Yuhao's body.
This soul power was like a rushing river, washing over Huo Yuhao's meridians. Almost instantly, Huo Yuhao's soul power rose from level nineteen to level twenty, and it was still rising rapidly. A tremendous change seemed to be taking place within Huo Yuhao's body; every cell was absorbing this powerful force, and his mental strength was also rapidly increasing.
"Tianmeng, it's your turn. Quickly attach Yuhao's second soul ring, otherwise, Yuhao won't be able to properly bear my power." The Ice Emperor's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable authority.
"I'm here!" The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm instantly entered Huo Yuhao's body. Among the ten light spheres sealed within Huo Yuhao by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, one slowly unraveled. As the light sphere shattered, a dazzling light erupted within Huo Yuhao's body, providing him with a second soul ring.
Huo Yuhao felt a new power flowing through his body, and his strength successfully broke through to level twenty-one, becoming a Great Soul Master.
After achieving a breakthrough in soul power level, the power provided by Ice Emperor to Huo Yuhao was significantly enhanced once again.
Her emerald green scorpion tail, like a sharp sword, pierced deeply into Huo Yuhao's coccyx.
Just like in her previous life, Ice Empress prepared to slowly infuse the power of the soul bone into Huo Yuhao's body. She carefully guided this power, ensuring that Huo Yuhao could absorb and integrate this energy to the maximum extent possible during the upcoming ritual.
Huo Yuhao's body began to tremble violently, as waves of excruciating pain washed over him. The pain was so intense that an ordinary person would likely have died the instant the Ice Emperor's tail pierced through them.
However, Huo Yuhao just gritted his teeth, frowned, and endured it without saying a word.
Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the bones in his spine were being crushed one by one by the energy of the Ice Emperor.
Each shattering of her bones was accompanied by excruciating pain. Then, under the influence of the Ice Emperor's energy, these bone fragments gradually fused into her soul bones, forming entirely new bones. This process was so slow and painful; every second felt like a test of Huo Yuhao's willpower and endurance.
Finally, after a long and arduous fusion process, the fusion of the soul bones was completed. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was soaked in sweat, his breathing became weak, and he seemed to be struggling on the verge of death.
Inside the barrier, the sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were already weeping uncontrollably. They desperately wanted to break through the barrier and run to Huo Yuhao's side. However, Shui Yun'er held them back tightly, preventing them from acting impulsively.
Huo Yuhao tried his best to open his eyes. Although his body was extremely weak, he still managed to smile at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. His lips moved slightly, and he mouthed to the two little girls, "I'm fine."
Next, the final and most painful step finally arrived: Huo Yuhao completely absorbed the power of the Ice Emperor into his body.
Although he did not absorb all of Ice Emperor's power at once, but sealed a portion of it, Ice Emperor was, after all, a 400,000-year-old soul beast, and this terrifying power was enough to cause any soul master to collapse.
Huo Yuhao was well aware of this, so he had to concentrate all his mental and willpower to ensure that he could withstand the impact of this force.
Huo Yuhao could feel that every cell in his body was enveloped by Ice Emperor's soul power, coated with a faint golden light.
The torture lasted for a full hour, an hour that felt like endless torment to Huo Yuhao.
His meridians felt as if they were being torn apart, and each heartbeat was accompanied by violent tremors.
Finally, as two 400,000-year-old soul rings radiating terrifying crimson light slowly emerged, the soul power ritual was a perfect success!
