Chapter 13 Awakening Failed?
"I have extracted the essence of ice element that I possess and given Yuhao a soulless ice martial soul. I need you to become the soul of this ice martial soul." Tianmeng looked at Bingdi with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Hyotei's crystalline yellow eyes flickered. After a few seconds of silence, she offered her idea, "Let's start with the bones and then the soul, improving this... uh, Yuhao?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and continued Hyotei's words, "My name is Huo Yuhao. Just do as you say, Hyotei."
Hyotei, seeing Huo Yuhao so readily accept her suggestion, scratched her head and asked with some concern, "While this method is indeed the most rewarding, and I hope you choose it, aren't you afraid of the pain at all?"
Huo Yuhao replied without changing his expression, "I have a bunch of enemies waiting for me to come knocking. I don't have time to back down here. Hyotei, come on over, however it's convenient for you. Don't worry about me."
Ice Emperor couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao again, but since she had already made up her mind, she no longer hesitated. Her body floated behind Huo Yuhao, and then her tail hook seemed to drip emerald green liquid. In the next instant, it pierced Huo Yuhao's back with lightning speed, breaking through his skin, penetrating his muscles, and finally nailing into his coccyx.
The excruciating pain made Huo Yuhao instinctively clench his teeth, but the nerve-related agony was something no normal person could endure. Huo Yuhao's eyes nearly bulged out, his mouth gaped wide, and he exhaled sharply, as if he were about to be crushed by the pain.
But instantly, he recalled his mother's dying face, the time when he couldn't afford a coffin for her and could only give her a simple burial, the Duchess, and Dai Hao.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and clenched his teeth again.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's expression, Tianmeng thought for a moment and then withdrew her outstretched hand.
Hyotei stared at Tenmeng in confusion, then asked Huo Yuhao, "How are you? Can you hold on? Should I slow down?"
"No need! Continue! Tianmeng, remember what I told you! Don't interfere! I'll handle this myself!"
Tianmeng didn't speak, silently turning her back, leaving only a mental connection in case of emergency.
Hyotei stopped talking and continued with their actions.
Huo Yuhao rapidly activated the Star-Guiding Technique, channeling the power of the Ice Emperor to reshape his body. The pain intensified, yet he didn't lose his composure even once more, sitting cross-legged like an old monk in deep meditation. However, the bulging veins on his forehead and the beads of sweat pouring down his face testified to the terrifying agony behind it all.
From day to night, and from night to day, time passed quickly. Finally, Huo Yuhao's spine and all his ribs emitted a bright green light. The most important first step of the Ice Emperor's strategy of first bones, then soul, and finally ring was about to be completed.
But at that very moment, the power of the stars in Huo Yuhao's soul suddenly gathered at his tailbone, and then with a bang, it rushed into the torso soul bone that the Ice Emperor had finally managed to condense!
"What's going on? Tianmeng! My control over the soul bone!" Just as Bingdi was extremely anxious, Tianmeng patted her head and said with a look of utter disbelief, "Where did our Heavenly Silkworm Star Palace's emblem come from? It came from this! Be prepared, you'll find these are all minor problems when you fuse your martial soul later."
Due to the intrusion of the power of the stars, the pain Huo Yuhao had finally endured returned with even greater force. He knew this was similar to the situation when he absorbed the left palm bone of the Flame Demon Tiger King. The only difference was that one was absorbed after being fused with the power of the stars, while the other was integrated with the power of the stars only after being fused together.
Moreover, the quality of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso bone is far superior to that of the Flame Demon Tiger King's left palm bone, which is thousands of years old. The baptism and fusion of the power of the stars will naturally take longer, and the pain will inevitably be prolonged and intense.
The deep purple and emerald green hues were mixed together, and Huo Yuhao's torso was as strange and chaotic as a witch's potion cauldron. Bingdi and Tianmeng could do nothing but stand aside and watch what would happen.
After about three days and three nights, the entire torso bone finally began to stabilize. The deep purple and emerald green energies seemed to have planned their own territory, and they settled down according to the pattern of the torso's deep purple gradually turning into the emerald green of the ribs.
Hyotei looked at the huge piece of torso bone he had gathered, which had been completely altered and transformed beyond recognition. It had also assimilated most of his power, forcing the remaining power, less than one-tenth of it, to cower in the rib area. He couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest. So his ultimate ice power was really so useless?
"Yuhao, it's up to you to take the lead now. The process of Hyotei integrating will probably open that door. Hyotei, get ready, that process will be particularly exciting." After Tianmeng finished speaking to Huo Yuhao, she turned to look at Hyotei. The playful feeling in her eyes and tone made Hyotei feel a little uneasy.
And what is that door? Hyotei was a little confused, but decided to ignore it for now and focus on fusing her martial soul first.
"Huo Yuhao! Release your Ice Martial Soul, then circulate your Soul Power and meditate. In a moment, draw my aura into your Martial Soul!" Having already given her the Soul Bone, the Ice Emperor had no way out. As her will became stronger, her remaining body completely transformed into a ball of emerald light and crashed into Huo Yuhao's chest.
Huo Yuhao immediately released his Ice Martial Soul, fully activating the Star-Guiding Technique. The emerald green energy continuously seeped into the blue Ice Martial Soul as the Star-Guiding Technique refined it, and specks of emerald green starlight slowly assimilated it.
Everything seemed to be on track, but then, the same thing happened again with Tianmeng and Electrolux: the giant amethyst gate reappeared.
As the Ice Martial Soul gradually stabilized, the Ice Emperor's soul seemed to be locked, unable to move at all. She suddenly remembered the excitement Tianmeng had mentioned, but before she could understand the situation, a huge siphon force swallowed her up.
The Star Palace, one of the three divine palaces, emitted a dazzling deep purple light, drawing the Ice Emperor's soul into it. The vast power of the stars instantly engulfed it. The next instant, the Star Palace with the Scorpion Emblem, intersecting with deep purple and emerald green, was lit up between the Heavenly Silkworm Star Palace and the Death Scythe Star Palace!
The Second Consciousness Sea didn't give Hyotei any special treatment; after the Star Palace was lit up, she was also thrown out.
Huo Yuhao didn't enter deep meditation this time. He watched as Bingdi went in and was thrown out again. So, he conjured a spiritual avatar, wondering if he could enter the second sea of consciousness again. But before he could even get close, the deep purple giant door suddenly closed. Apart from the Three Stars Divine Pattern, there was no trace of the door in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Speechless at the scene before him, Huo Yuhao felt utterly exhausted.
However, even more exhausting things awaited him later.
"Damn it! The martial soul awakening has failed!" Ice Emperor's expression turned extremely grim. She hadn't even had time to rejoice over the changes in her soul before discovering that she couldn't single-handedly take on the role of Huo Yuhao's ice martial soul.
