Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1286 Condensing the Divine Core! (Daily 10,000 words)

Since our own strength alone is not enough to control the two crazed soul cores, let's introduce external force!

At this moment, the Evil Emperor, who was watching the show from within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, felt a chill run down his spine.

That's right, bro. That's exactly how Huo Yuhao used him as a pawn back then.

Because in the worst-case scenario, Huo Yuhao would have to deal with more than five Limit Douluos, he decided to go all the way and provoke himself, the sixth Limit Douluo.

Using one's own strength against another—this is Huo Yuhao's most skillful tactic.

The power of nearly a hundred soul bones was injected into Huo Yuhao's body, causing him to even rise into the air and float cross-legged in mid-air.

Streams of pure energy flowed into Huo Yuhao's more than two hundred bones, completely enveloping his body.

At this moment, even the power released by the collision of the two soul cores could no longer break through Huo Yuhao's defenses.

Huo Yuhao's bones, which were originally broken and had reached their limit and could no longer be strengthened, began to regenerate after shattering and began to turn pure gold.

No destruction, no construction; this is the essence of "no destruction, no construction!"

Simply absorbing the essence from the soul bone is no longer enough to further improve Huo Yuhao's bone strength. If he wants to continue to improve, he needs to break all the bones in his body and start all over again!

Even so, Huo Yuhao still hadn't passed the most dangerous stage of condensing his divine core.

"Bang!"

As if some extremely resilient object had been suddenly torn apart, another main meridian in Huo Yuhao's body ruptured under the onslaught of violent power.

How can a human possess the same physical attributes as the Dragon Kings?

Even though Huo Yuhao had received the favor of two great dragon kings from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and had tempered his golden body, he was still not a true dragon king's body!

The whistling immortal energy merged into the two soul cores, and then was squeezed out by the compression and collision of the two soul cores, raging out of Huo Yuhao's body. Wherever it passed, the main meridian was covered with wounds, and the branch meridians shattered in response.

This is even harder to endure than the divine test. During the divine test, no matter how difficult the trials are, the examinee only needs to passively accept them and bear the pain.

Grit your teeth and persevere. If you can get through this, the world will be vast and boundless.

For Huo Yuhao now, being able to withstand pain is only the bare minimum requirement.

Being able to withstand the pain only ensures that Huo Yuhao's path to becoming stronger will not fail. To succeed, Huo Yuhao needs to control the two soul cores himself and actively destroy his own body!

The difference in difficulty between actively bearing burdens and passively bearing them is like night and day.

If Huo Yuhao wanted, he could certainly accept the test of the God of Emotions, since he was already perfectly suited to Rong Nianbing's position as the God of Emotions.

No matter how difficult the Divine Trial is, it can't possibly be more difficult than the bone-crushing and tendon-severing Huo Yuhao is currently facing.

But Huo Yuhao did not choose to do so. He had promised to fight alongside Wang Dong'er to ascend to the God Realm and deal with Tang San.

Therefore, he chose to introduce Wang Dong'er to Rong Nianbing.

Long ago, the unintentional act of recommending Wang Dong'er to absorb the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot as her soul spirits turned out to be an unexpected delight.

Is there really a master chef of ice and fire who could refuse an heir with superior talent, possessing the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Soul?

At least Rong Nianbing didn't. Although Wang Dong'er's cooking skills were really not up to par, he wasn't looking for a successor to his culinary skills. Besides, Huo Yuhao could help out.

Therefore, at this point, Huo Yuhao no longer had any shortcuts to becoming a god.

Once again, the two soul cores exploded as they approached each other. Each collision between the two soul cores felt like the chaotic power of the beginning of time was raging within the body.

As the two soul cores drew ever closer, Huo Yuhao's injuries continued to accumulate.

Those broken meridians, like withered vines, could no longer bear the surge of power.

His bones emitted a dazzling golden light, struggling to maintain Huo Yuhao's body so that it wouldn't shatter halfway through.

Beneath the skin, bluish veins bulge out, like coiled dragons, a struggle and resistance of life force at its limit.

However, it was precisely in this pain that almost tore him apart that Huo Yuhao found a delicate balance.

That was the subtle balance he had passively experienced when he was baptized by the two springs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Instead of controlling the two soul cores to collide directly, Huo Yuhao audaciously controlled them to pass each other from left to right, forcibly swapping their positions.

Now, the soul core that was originally in the Purple Mansion moved to the Dantian, and the soul core in the Dantian moved back to the Purple Mansion.

A smile finally appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes; he knew how to condense the divine core!

The next moment, the two soul cores crossed paths again. This time, what existed between the two soul cores was no longer a pure repulsive force, but rather a force that attracted and pulled each other.

When heaven and earth, yin and yang, interact and harmonize, water and fire are in balance, emptiness and fullness give rise to each other, marshes and mountains are harmonious, wind and thunder bring benefit, and heaven and earth are in peace!

The light in Huo Yuhao's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as the two soul cores intertwined and circulated within his body.

Soon, the trajectory of the two soul cores changed from a straight line to an elliptical motion with a slight arc.

As the two soul cores interacted, the power they released became less and less, and they became more and more restrained. The immortal spiritual energy that Huo Yuhao introduced into his body acted like an adhesive, bringing the two soul cores closer and closer.

At this moment, although the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores within Huo Yuhao's body are still repelling and separating, the mutual attraction between them is already undeniable!

At this moment, the two forces finally began to show signs of merging.

It is a kind of harmonious coexistence that transcends the complementarity of yin and yang and reaches a higher level.

The two soul cores, bound together by immortal spiritual energy, slowly rotated and gradually drew closer, forming a dazzling three-dimensional Tai Chi diagram.

Finally, after the two soul cores approached each other to their extremes, they collided, but did not unleash the expected destructive power.

The two soul cores gently touched Huo Yuhao's chest, and at that moment, it was as if the whole world stood still.

At this moment, the repulsive and attractive forces reached a perfect balance, and the two soul cores began to slowly merge, eventually transforming into a dazzling, rapidly spinning core.

Divine core!

This newly formed divine core emitted a faint golden light, containing the essence of Huo Yuhao's lifelong cultivation and his profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

Unlike previous soul cores, it no longer has a clear yin-yang boundary, but is a perfect unity that perfectly integrates soul power and spiritual power.

Every pulse of the divine core seemed to resonate with the heavens and earth.

No, it shouldn't be called soul power and spiritual power anymore. The moment the divine core was formed, Huo Yuhao's body was already filled with only divine power and divine thought!

At the cost of severed meridians and shattered bones, the realm of a hundred-level god was completely shattered by Huo Yuhao!

However, Huo Yuhao's entire skeleton was still nourished by those nearly one hundred soul bones, which turned misfortune into blessing and led him to a perfect transformation towards godhood. But what about his meridians?

Without the Golden Carving Knife of Life by his side, with all his tendons and veins severed, what difference was there between him and a cripple?
