Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 192 Ice and Fire from the Same Origin: Ice Devouring Extreme Flame and Dragon Bone (5,000 words)

While the outside world was causing trouble, inside the Yin-Yang Well, Huo Yuhao stood at the boundary between the two wells, with the frigid spring to his left chilling to the bone and the blazing spring to his right churning with flames.

Behind him, two dragon souls danced in the sky, and on his shoulders, two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, each occupied one side.

In the distance, the remaining four immortal herbs looked at each other in bewilderment.

No, does the Lord really intend to refine his body with ice and fire?

The Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass have really gotten a great deal.

"Have you two remembered this? You will begin when I reach the boundary between ice and fire."

Huo Yuhao gave a few instructions to Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Bajiao Xuanbingcao.

"I understand." Liehuo Xingjiao still had some doubts, but she didn't ask them. She just moved the grass leaves as if she was nodding.

The eight-cornered ice grass responded as well.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao nodded to Gu Yuena, who was not far away, took a deep breath, circulated his soul power, and leaped into the icy spring.

The extreme cold energy, capable of annihilating a Title Douluo, surged toward Huo Yuhao instantly. However, Huo Yuhao was also at the pinnacle of ice, and his spiritual power had already recovered to the Spirit Domain Realm. Although the energy of the ice spring was powerful, its effect on him was limited.

Meanwhile, after Huo Yuhao jumped into the ice spring, the Water Dragon King's soul followed closely behind and merged into his body first.

The next moment, six spirit rings appeared around Huo Yuhao, and his third spirit skill—Heavenly Silkworm Transformation—was activated instantly.

The Water Dragon King's dragon soul no longer has its own body, but the ultimate ice soul power and spiritual domain mental power at the demigod level still remain within it; otherwise, it would not be able to possess strength comparable to a demigod.

Now, Huo Yuhao separated its soul power and spiritual power through the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, and brought the energy of the ultimate ice and the bloodline power of the Water Dragon King into the origin of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, pulling the spiritual origin together with the Water Dragon King's soul into the Sea of ​​Spirit.

With the Water Dragon King's dragon soul actively cooperating, Huo Yuhao completed the process on his own, but it still took him several hours to seal those soul powers and spiritual powers.

Especially mental power, because the dragon soul has little intelligence, only instinct, and cannot seal itself. It can help seal the ultimate ice energy through mental power, but it can't help much in sealing mental power.

During the process, a situation similar to the Evil Emperor's possession occurred, with Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea being covered by the Water Dragon King's spiritual power.

After all, Huo Yuhao has only just returned to the Spirit Realm, and there is still a gap between his spiritual level and that of the two dragon souls.

It's important to understand that the Spirit Realm spans a vast range, from the initial Spirit Origin Realm to the Spirit Realm, which is 0 to 20000. This involves both quantitative changes and multiple qualitative leaps in spiritual power. The difference in spiritual power between the Spirit Realm and the peak of the Spirit Realm is 30000. Although it no longer involves a true qualitative leap, it is still greater than the gap from zero to the Spirit Realm. The quantitative changes involved are something that many Limit Douluo cannot achieve in their entire lives.

Peak Spirit Realm is usually synonymous with peak Quasi-God. The two dragon souls are not currently at the peak Spirit Realm, but they are at the late Spirit Realm stage.

However, the sealing process must be completed as soon as possible.

After all, the two dragon souls only have instincts. If they encounter special circumstances, such as the pressure of a powerful dragon, accidents may happen. If they retain too much power, it will be a hidden danger for him and his companions in the sea of ​​spirit. Precautions need to be taken early.

Fortunately, the Water Dragon King had no intention of possessing another's body, and Huo Yuhao possessed the soul-devouring skill. Thus, Huo Yuhao emerged victorious in the battle for the Sea of ​​Spirit. After devouring a portion of the Water Dragon King's spiritual power, he gradually completed the sealing of his spiritual power.

After sealing this energy, Huo Yuhao and the beings in the Sea of ​​Spirit became alert. Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu, who had just learned of Huo Yuhao's thoughts, was also affected and her expression became serious.

Next, is the key point.

"Xue'er, get involved in what's to come and focus on understanding it; it will help your future."

Xue Di nodded. "Mm."

Having suddenly obtained such powerful energy, one should logically seal it away and save it for future breakthroughs. However, Huo Yuhao looked at the blue light cluster formed by the Water Dragon King's energy seal at the origin of his martial soul, took a deep breath, and began to work together with his soul spirits and Ilex to further compress the energy within.

Once all the essence was compressed into a small blue bead, Huo Yuhao suddenly released control over it.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao began to absorb the energy of heaven and earth from the Cold Spring, and took out the Ice God Pearl, drawing out the cold energy within it to begin absorbing it.

Normally, when Huo Yuhao cultivated, his soul power flowed calmly and slowly like a gentle stream. However, at this moment, the soul power within his body surged and roared like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. The surging soul power rushed into his dantian at a speed more than ten times faster than usual.

Even Huo Yuhao's resilient meridians began to feel waves of throbbing pain.

However, Huo Yuhao remained calm and simply used the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation to gather them all at the origin of his Martial Soul.

The blue bead sensed the flow of various extreme ice energies and suddenly unleashed a powerful suction force, like a whirlwind sweeping across the earth, greedily drawing in the extreme ice soul power within Huo Yuhao's body, the chilling aura of the Ice God Bead, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth permeating the surrounding ice spring.

The Cold Spring originally came from the Water Dragon King, and the primordial energy within it was very similar to his power. The energy in the blue bead was the Water Dragon King's original power, which he had compressed and sealed. It was already unstable after escaping the Water Dragon King's control, and now that Huo Yuhao was actively absorbing the power of the Cold Spring to make it stronger, he was immediately stimulated.

Instinctively, it began to absorb the power of the cold spring, gradually spiraling out of control.

Huo Yuhao watched its actions, unaffected by the deep-seated pain, his expression remaining focused.

According to Elder Yi, mastering the ultimate attribute and turning adversity into prosperity is something only divine sense can achieve. However, Huo Yuhao felt that he was being too modest. Even with divine sense, not everyone can do it. But since even Elder Yi said so, it shows how difficult it is.

He could have done it before, but his current strength is insufficient for him to turn things around on his own; the purity of the ultimate ice and his spiritual power are not enough to achieve that.

But so-called opportunities are what accelerate the process of cultivation.

If self-transformation is impossible, then try other methods—loss of control over the source!
The Water Dragon King's original attribute manifests as the ultimate ice in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Its energy is absolutely the closest to the ultimate ice in the world. After being repeatedly compressed by them, the event that once occurred in the original work began to happen to Huo Yuhao under Huo Yuhao's deliberate guidance.

Just as the Snow Emperor's Snow Pill went berserk due to the Ice Jade Marrow Bed, resulting in a turnaround from adversity to prosperity, the Water Dragon King's primordial power also underwent a similar change.

The Water Dragon King's original power is the Snow Pill. The Ice Spring and Ice God Pearl of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well are equivalent to the Frost Jade Marrow Bed, which ignited the Water Dragon King's original power!

Ice and fire reverse, things reach their extremes and then reverse, adversity turns into prosperity!

Extreme flames appeared in Huo Yuhao's martial soul. The high temperature and the original attribute of extreme ice repelled each other, and it was about to destroy the Ice Emperor martial soul directly.

This is an extremely dangerous act. If things go wrong, the Ice Emperor Martial Soul will be completely destroyed. But the current Huo Yuhao and the people in the Sea of ​​Spirit are not the same as they were ten thousand years ago when they were weak!
"Let's move on to the next step, and reverse things again."

Before the source of the ultimate fire could be unleashed, it began to compress again under the control of Elder Yi, the Snow Empress's divine consciousness, and the souls of the crowd. Huo Yuhao then used the divine consciousness of Elder Yi and the Snow Empress to control its transformation once more. With the influence of the cold spring from the same source, it gradually returned to its original ice attribute.

The ultimate ice—the ultimate fire.

Extreme fire—extreme ice.

Yin gives rise to Yang, and Yang gives rise to Yin.

The extreme energies of ice and fire intertwined wildly within Huo Yuhao's body, each reversal like dancing on a knife's edge. His meridians were constantly torn apart by this violent energy impact, yet gradually healed under the influence of the Life Metal. Frost would sometimes condense on the surface of his skin, and at other times, crimson flames would emanate from it.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Fairy watched this scene in shock. The latter murmured to herself, "Can ultimate ice and ultimate fire really be transformed? How is this possible?"

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass interrupted her thoughts, "Stop being surprised and confused. As the Lord instructed, let's move on to the next step."

Huo Yuhao had unknowingly moved from the location of the ice spring to the boundary between the two types of spring water, clearly as a reminder to them.

Without further ado, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu joined forces with Bajiao Xuanbingcao.

The Fiery Apricot on Huo Yuhao's left shoulder unfurled its fiery red leaves, its intense crimson glow spreading like flowing lava; the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass on his right shoulder radiated a ghostly blue light, its chilling aura condensing into fine ice crystals. Surprisingly, these two opposing energies did not repel each other; instead, they intertwined in the air, creating a magnificent red and blue halo.

For 20,000 years, these two immortal herbs have formed a mysterious connection of yin and yang through the special environment of the Yin-Yang Well.

Together, they wouldn't weaken each other; on the contrary, they would greatly enhance and elevate each other's power. Unfortunately, due to their attributes, no Soul Master could simultaneously accommodate both of their Soul Spirits, but in their eyes, Huo Yuhao could!
Therefore, they went all out from the start, intending to help Huo Yuhao achieve the balance of Yin and Yang, stabilize his state of ice and fire originating from the same source, and also to give themselves the opportunity to become his soul spirit.

With the aid of the two immortal herbs, Huo Yuhao's cultivation progress accelerated once again, and the transformation of the two poles within his body gradually slowed down, faintly forming a special shape.

In this process, time quietly slipped by, and six days passed.

Within Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Martial Soul Origin, a strange scene unfolded: a Tai Chi pattern composed of extreme ice and extreme fire spun rapidly within it.

These two extreme attributes are intertwined and can transform into each other.

Ice and fire share the same origin, thus achieved!

For Huo Yuhao, once he achieves the reversal of fortune, he can naturally achieve the unity of ice and fire, which is the difference between him and Rong Nianbing. After all, the reversal of fortune for the ultimate ice and fire is proof of their shared origin!

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, a pattern of ice and fire flashing briefly in his pupils. He let out a soft breath, and icy blue light emanated from his body. A crystal-clear, ethereal phantom of an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion appeared behind Huo Yuhao, its aura causing the plant soul beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to tremble.

Even the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass felt a shiver.

"Ultimate ice and ultimate fire have appeared on a single martial soul?"

Even though she had participated in the process, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass still found it hard to believe.

Although he and Liehuo Xingjiao achieved the balance of Yin and Yang, the transformation of Yin and Yang was far beyond their capabilities.

In the distance, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon murmured, "Don't you guys think that martial soul looks a bit like the Ice Jade Scorpion?"

"The Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, isn't that the Martial Soul of the first Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda? Could it be... that he is a descendant of the Spirit Ice Douluo?"

"Ink Jade Divine Bamboo said in astonishment."

Qiluo Tulip swallowed hard, her voice low and somber. "No, to be able to get along peacefully with His Majesty the Silver Dragon King, without any distinction of rank, is probably not that simple..."

While the immortal herbs were secretly shocked, Huo Yuhao was sensing and observing the changes in his martial soul—

The Ice Emperor's scorpion body remains as green and translucent as jade, but crimson flame patterns have appeared on its carapace. The scorpion's tail is no longer pure ice blue, but displays a strange mix of red and blue, with a constantly shifting ball of ice flame gathered at its stinger.

Yes, the Ice Emperor Martial Soul has already been sublimated. Even though it has not yet completed the process of governing the seven elements with the method of ice and fire sharing the same origin, once the turning point and the sharing of ice and fire are completed, the Ice Emperor Martial Soul will naturally complete its evolution.

Perhaps, "super martial spirit" is no longer enough to describe it...

Now, the fire element of his martial soul has been sublimated into ultimate fire, and has achieved coexistence with ultimate ice, and can even transform into each other. This is something he was unable to accomplish in the past.

After all, this is Douluo Continent, not Holy Demon Continent. The Martial Soul system focuses on bloodline, not ability.

Just as you can't make your martial soul possess those two attributes even if you comprehend the power of space and time, what's truly related to your martial soul is your bloodline.

In the past, although he could complete the transformation of ultimate attributes, he couldn't make the Ice Emperor Martial Soul possess the ultimate fire attribute on its own. Unless, like Elder Yi in the original work, he used part of his divine sense as a price to create a Martial Soul himself... but that was unnecessary.

After all, he knows how to transform to the extreme and can use it as usual. Whether or not his martial soul has this attribute doesn't matter.

However, times have changed. Now that he possesses the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King, he needs to complete the Ice and Fire Origin Method within the Martial Soul's essence in order to control the seven elements, complete the Martial Soul's evolution, and increase his foundation.

The Ice Emperor Martial Soul itself has completed this transformation, so even though he hasn't returned to the Divine Origin Realm, he can freely control the two extreme attributes.

However, the cost of accomplishing this is also high. To turn adversity into prosperity, one must reach an extreme level of attributes, and the ultimate level of ice essence can be considered the foundation.

The Water Dragon King's essence has now been completely integrated into the Ice Emperor's Martial Soul, becoming the resources for the evolution of the Martial Soul and the foundation for stabilizing the common origin of ice and fire. It is no longer possible to use it.

The other souls needed to rest for a while due to excessive consumption, Huo Yuhao's own spiritual power was also almost depleted, Xue Di's divine sense was replenished by her physical body, and Elder Yi was in good condition because of his rich experience in turning adversity into prosperity.

Having completed the evolution of his martial soul, Huo Yuhao did not rush to leave the spring. Instead, he carefully experienced the various benefits and changes that this martial soul evolution brought him.

The ultimate ice and ultimate fire attributes need no further explanation; they were the answer in the version from ten thousand years ago. Moreover, now that the martial soul possesses both of these attributes, its strength is beyond doubt.

Moreover, he had just been in a state of extreme ice and fire, and had completed the Ice and Fire Refining Body in an alternative way, and it was an enhanced version. He had unknowingly crossed the second level of the Body Secret Technique and entered the third realm, taking another step closer to the fourth realm - the Golden Body.

However, the biggest gain was probably this flame.
Huo Yuhao raised his hand, looking at the icy blue flame that appeared in his palm.

It is neither pure ice nor pure fire, but a special energy form produced when two extreme attributes transform into each other, possessing the characteristics of extreme ice and extreme fire.

A strange fire born from extreme cold—the Bone Spirit Cold Fire? Is Elder Yi actually the Medicine Master, and his real surname is Xiao? Should he start playing with fire in the future?

Whoops, just kidding.

Although this kind of flame can also give people the joy of experiencing both ice and fire, its effects are completely different from those of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

It is a talent ability derived from the evolution of a martial soul, similar to the power of an innate domain. It can be considered Huo Yuhao's own natal true fire, possessing the same characteristics as an external soul bone, and it grows as his strength increases.

Huo Yuhao tried it out, and perhaps because it was born from the transformation of ice and fire, it also possessed the power to transform other flames and ice, turning them into a part of itself. It had an extremely strong suppressive force against extreme fire and extreme ice; even the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well could not resist such transformation, let alone ordinary fire and ice elements.

Perhaps it could be called Ice Devouring Extreme Flame?

However, when it comes to the ability to transform flames...

Huo Yuhao looked at his natal flame, his eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flick of his right hand, a seven-colored lotus appeared in his palm.

In an instant, the fire elements of the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well began to converge towards the Seven-Colored Lotus, and even the Fire Dragon King's soul, which was only at the level of a demigod, was affected to some extent.

Huo Yuhao's natal fire was also slightly affected, but because it also possessed the characteristic of extreme ice, the impact was not significant; in fact, the ice elements in the air were converging towards it.

However, Huo Yuhao still realized that his idea was not feasible for the time being. "As expected, it won't work. The gap in levels is too great."

The Seven-Colored Lotus, which even a first-level god dares not easily touch, and his natal fire are not comparable at present. His idea will have to be tested later.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to retract the two flames, an unexpected change occurred.

The Fire Dragon King's Dragon Soul looked at the Seven-Colored Lotus, which could be called the ancestor of all fires, and the Ice Devouring Extreme Flame, which coexisted with ice and fire, and suddenly let out a roar, causing the dazed immortal herbs to shiver.

The Water Dragon King's soul, already integrated into Huo Yuhao's body, responded to the sound and tried to emerge. Huo Yuhao didn't stop them, but frowned as he watched the two dragon souls merge and rush into the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, somewhat puzzled.

What do they want to do?
Several minutes later, the Fire Dragon King's soul and the Water Dragon King's soul each rushed out of the spring with a ball of light and handed the ball of light to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted when he saw what was there.

Those were clearly two leg bones, and the soul bones taken from below the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire... could only be the dragon bones of two great dragon souls!
