Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 47 Fusion of Soul Bones

Two beams of white light shot from Ji Lin's eyes and landed on the Snow Emperor's true form. The Snow Emperor's true form transformed into white energy once again, slowly arriving behind Ji Lin, and then suddenly rushing into Ji Lin's body.

Ji Lin's body trembled violently, and then he felt an extreme chill that instantly numbed his soul and body.

He felt something rushing into his flesh and bones, the extreme pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe. It felt like countless needles piercing his body simultaneously, each heartbeat bringing endless torment.

He tried to struggle, but his body wouldn't obey him, as if bound by some invisible force. Everything around him became blurry, only the excruciating pain remained clearly visible.

Just then, a golden light suddenly shone from between Ji Lin's brows, and the soft golden light instantly covered his head, turning his sea of ​​consciousness golden again. The gentle, rhythmic golden light protected Ji Lin's violently fluctuating sea of ​​consciousness, like a mother's hand, gently soothing his soul which was in extreme pain.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm activated. With its help, Ji Lin's pain was finally alleviated somewhat. Meanwhile, the Snow Empress began the process of soul bone fusion.

Although Ji Lin's body trembled with pain and his sea of ​​consciousness fluctuated violently, there was no sign of him collapsing. Even if Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't intervene, he wouldn't be destroyed because of this.

A pang of envy welled up in Xue Di's heart. Human talent and potential were indeed unmatched by any noble-blooded soul beast. Of course, it was just envy. If she were to switch places, she would absolutely refuse. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to break through her cultivation limit at ten thousand years of cultivation; instead, she would have transformed into a human and started cultivating anew.

After all, no matter how talented humans are, their lifespan is limited. Even the most powerful humans cannot compare to the lifespan of spirit beasts.

As Xue Di controlled the fusion process, Ji Lin felt a gentle warmth envelop his entire body.

The intense pain he had felt earlier subsided considerably. Although the throbbing agony was still there, he felt much better compared to before.

As the pain subsided, his chest began to heave violently. He was greedily inhaling the air.

A sudden outpouring of sweat from her body indicated just how intense the pain had been.

Chi Yuan looked at Ji Lin, who was lying on the ground in pain, and felt very worried and heartbroken. However, she did not disturb him, but silently guarded him. She knew that this was Ji Lin's own choice. He could have grown up smoothly under her protection and with the help of the treasure chest system, without having to go through so many hardships.

But he chose to face the pain and overcome it. She supported any choice he made, but was also pleased that Ji Lin chose to face the pain instead of running away from it.

Ji Lin's clothes were torn apart by the white light emanating from his body. His body appeared very sturdy, but his skin was astonishingly white, almost indistinguishable from snow. Even more striking within this pallor was the fact that his entire torso was radiating white light.

Wherever the white light covered, it brought Ji Lin intense pain. He gritted his teeth and endured it, otherwise he would faint from the pain and everything would be over.

Tianmeng Bingcan looked at Ji Lin in surprise. He had prepared several protective spirit abilities to help Ji Lin, but Ji Lin had persevered on his own.

Seeing Ji Lin's determined expression, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quietly withdrew the spiritual power covering Ji Lin's entire body. Since Ji Lin could do it himself, he didn't need to interfere.

He hadn't expected Ji Lin to have such willpower; this was a great thing.

Ji Lin originally admired Huo Yuhao's willpower and thought he couldn't do what he did, but he actually underestimated himself.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, having withdrawn its spiritual power, silently stood guard by Ji Lin's side. It was best if Ji Lin could withstand the pain himself, as this was itself the best way to temper his spiritual strength. It would make his willpower even stronger, greatly benefiting his future cultivation and growth.

After the white light covered Ji Lin's entire torso and skeleton, the white energy that the Snow Emperor's true form had transformed into had completely merged into Ji Lin's torso and bones.

The soul bone that Snow Empress transformed into was the most essential part of her power. Although the transformation process was painful, for Ji Lin, the future value of this soul bone would far surpass that of other soul bones. It would also greatly benefit his growth.

Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is a million-year-old soul beast, in terms of the overall benefits it brings to Ji Lin, it is definitely not as good as the Snow Emperor. The Snow Emperor was born noble and was the darling of the far north. She had also cultivated for so long, so the enhancement she brought to Ji Lin must have been comprehensive. Of course, Ji Lin is only currently receiving a small part of the Snow Emperor's energy, and most of it needs to be sealed away with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

They are just waiting for Ji Lin's physical endurance to increase before the seal is broken. Once that happens, Ji Lin's potential will reach an astonishing level.

As for how far he can go in the future, neither Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nor Snow Emperor know.

Their method of creating gods is unprecedented, even on the Douluo Continent. It's important to understand that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm spent a full 100,000 years just to complete the initial preparations. Don't be fooled by how easily he merged with Ji Lin; in reality, he had already sealed and separated his spiritual essence long before that. There were many more meticulous preparations as well.

When it came to the Snow Empress, he guided and assisted her throughout the fusion process, using his powerful spiritual energy to support her. Only in this way was the fusion successful.

Ji Lin's body trembled uncontrollably, a layer of ice beads—condensed sweat—adhering to his skin. Blood seeped from his seven orifices, and beneath the ice beads, the skin was completely red. The speed at which his blood circulated was terrifying. Anyone else would have exploded and died long ago.

At this moment, Ji Lin's body was protected by the spiritual essence of two powerful beings, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Snow Emperor.

The accelerated circulation of blood and qi is an inevitable consequence of absorbing and fusing with the soul bones, and these bones protect Ji Lin's internal organs, meridians, flesh, and bones. It's like coating Ji Lin's body with a layer of membrane. No matter how fast the blood and qi circulates, it cannot break through their defenses.

The intense blood energy fluctuations, the pale skin, and the bones that radiate white light visible from the outside create a terrifying scene.

As the white light completely outlined the bones, Ji Lin's pain began to change again. The previous spasmodic pain gradually transformed, and all the bones in his torso began to feel alternating sensations of extreme cold and extreme heat.
