Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 223 Ready, Let's Begin (Daily 10,000 words)

Huo Yuhao retreated back into the cave and tried to knock hard on the enormous snail shell in front of him, but the thing was just too huge, about the height of an ordinary skyscraper in the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. Even though the internal structure of the snail shell would make a sound due to the cavity effect, it was not something that Huo Yuhao could make a sound by knocking on it casually.

Huo Yuhao first took out the White Tiger Dagger and stabbed it a few times, leaving a white mark. Upon closer inspection, he realized that he had only scratched away the dust that had fallen on the snail shell. He was astonished and stabbed it a few more times, but it did not budge.

It's made of very hard material.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. Although the White Tiger Dagger was not a particularly precious soul tool, its armor-piercing ability was quite remarkable. It could even be used as a carving knife in many situations. Yet, it didn't even have the right to leave a trace on this giant snail shell?

Huo Yuhao stubbornly tried to chisel it a few more times, but to no avail. So he took out a pot of water and poured it on the shell to wipe away the dust that had frozen to the surface.

Huo Yuhao put away the White Tiger Dagger and gently ran his hand over the snail shell. He was immediately attracted by its cool and smooth texture.

The washed part of the shell is as smooth as a mirror and as delicate as porcelain, giving it a warm and jade-like feel. Gently running your fingers over the surface of the shell, you can almost feel the traces left by time.

The undulating patterns, resembling tiny hills, are etched on the snail shell. These patterns are like fingerprints in nature, unique and rhythmic.

Unconvinced, Huo Yuhao simply took out the Life-Carving Knife and slowly stabbed it towards the snail shell. This was the sharpest weapon in Huo Yuhao's hands, or rather, a divine artifact.

The carving knife, made from such a large piece of living gold, is, upon closer examination, far superior in quality to many divine artifacts held by gods. Of course, even so, since no god has left their exclusive divine mark on the carving knife, the living gold carving knife can at most be considered a quasi-divine artifact.

As Huo Yuhao pierced the snail shell with the carving knife, he felt a damping sensation for the first time while using it!

so hard!

Huo Yuhao slowly applied force, gently piercing the life-carving knife into the snail shell. Once the tip of the knife barely went in, it could not be pushed in any further.

As Huo Yuhao drew out the carving knife, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, and his eyes gleamed. The snail shell, which even the metal of life could hardly cut, had such bizarre defensive power that even a titled Douluo would have a hard time leaving a trace.

If Huo Yuhao were to use the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to make an inner armor that is impervious to water and fire, well-ventilated, and insulated from temperature, and then use the same shell to make an outer armor, he felt that he could withstand attacks from Soul Kings or even Soul Emperors without batting an eye.

Of course, it's not so easy to go any higher. For example, Soul Saints who have activated their Martial Soul True Body don't even need to consider how to break through Huo Yuhao's armor. A single slap would be enough to kill Huo Yuhao inside the armor with its immense impact.

Even so, this thing is still incredibly valuable. Even without shock absorption, Huo Yuhao could simply skip class.

Who says there has to be a person inside the armor?

Since we can't put people inside the armor, we can put soul tools inside, like Brother Ning's soul tool arm that he uses mental power to control his movements.

In a short while, Huo Yuhao had already come up with various plans to maximize the use of this giant snail shell.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao couldn't think of any way to bring the shell back, even cutting off a small piece would be quite difficult.

Forget it, I'll think about how to bring this shell back once I have a storage soul tool with a huge storage space.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the snail shell again with some regret, then slid out of the hole. He needed to stay far away and try to prevent any changes from happening here.

Taking out his skis, Huo Yuhao slid down the mountainside and continued for a while before speaking, making sure he was far enough away.

"Brother Tianmeng, let's begin, I'm ready."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm responded in its sea of ​​consciousness.

Intense spiritual energy fluctuations rippled outwards, spreading along the already opened sea of ​​consciousness and ancestral aperture.

The pure white spirit ring radiated a lustrous glow. The million-year spirit ring from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm quietly appeared, radiating a lustrous glow, and was rhythmically pulsating around him.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt his thoughts rapidly extending outwards and expanding far and wide.

At this moment, he felt his senses rapidly extending outwards, expanding far and wide. The feeling was like looking down at the earth from the sky, completely different from the feeling he had when using mental detection in the past. Perhaps it wasn't as detailed, but the feeling of observing everything was intoxicating.

A vast amount of information flooded into Huo Yuhao's mind, almost overwhelming him. Fortunately, he quickly stopped actively processing each piece of information, which allowed his brain to return to normal.

In the core area of ​​the vast far north, covering tens of thousands of square kilometers, the light suddenly dimmed, as if it had suddenly gone from day to night.

An invisible wave of majesty suddenly expanded, accompanied by a massive amount of spiritual power, radiating outward from Huo Yuhao as the center.

The shimmering white halo began to slowly change color, gradually transforming from its original white to pale gold, and then to bright gold.

Clusters of golden light began to emerge from between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows. With each cluster that emerged, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of emptiness. When the ninth cluster of light emerged, he even felt as if he were about to collapse.

Initially, ten golden rays of light burrowed into his body from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. This was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual essence, its core power. Now, nine rays have left, leaving only the last ray, which Huo Yuhao has partially absorbed. That ray is also the link between the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao.

Once Huo Yuhao has fully absorbed that ball of primordial power, his strength will experience another leap forward.

Soon, the remaining nine golden rays slowly drifted down from the sky, coalesced, and solidified.

After completing all of this, the spiritual essence gradually condensed into a human form, a human form that seemed to be carved from the same mold as Huo Yuhao, except that this human form was far more arrogant than Huo Yuhao, and was controlled by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Tianmeng, controlling the humanoid figure, stood with her hands on her hips, took a deep breath, and said, "Ice Emperor! I know you sensed my presence. I, Tianmeng, have returned for revenge! Dare to face me!"

Huo Yuhao was shocked by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hadn't said this before. In the Sea of ​​Spirit, it was calling out "Bingbing" enthusiastically. How did it become an enemy?
