Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 498 Xuanbing Bed (10,000 per day)

Huo Yuhao rubbed his face vigorously, which was a little itchy from the dry air at the mountaintop, and then washed his face.

Just then, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt his body getting cold, and the circulation of his soul power seemed to become slightly sluggish.

"Ugh, it's so cold." Ever since merging with Hyotei, the word "cold" seemed to have become irrelevant to Huo Yuhao. But today was the second time he had felt the chill.

Ice Emperor said, "That Wang Dong was indeed very good to you. The water you used just now was a spring water. If my feeling is not wrong, it should be the kind of frozen spring that absorbs the cold energy of heaven and earth. Although it is water, its coldness can rival the ten-thousand-year-old black ice in the core area of ​​our far north. It contains even more spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"You must have felt refreshed when you washed your face. But not everyone can enjoy that. An ordinary person would freeze to death after just a touch."

"The stone bed beneath you is even more remarkable. It should be a piece of chalcedony from cold jade. This kind of thing is rarely seen even in our far northern core area. This is the first time I've ever seen such a large piece."

Just then, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled, "I've seen it before, I've seen it. When I first fell into slumber and underwent metamorphosis, I encountered this very piece of jade marrow."

Having confirmed the positions of the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python, Huo Yuhao felt relieved.

Since the two of them intend to remain inactive, why should he be polite? He must accept all the good things.

Sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed, Huo Yuhao began to draw upon the waves of cold air emanating from below. The chill rising from beneath him grew increasingly intense, requiring him to concentrate fully on circulating his soul power to resist it.

The chill didn't surge up all at once, but rather seeped in gradually from beneath him in wisps. At first, Huo Yuhao didn't feel much of a chill because he possessed the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. However, this chill was different from his own ice power.

Extreme Ice is already the most powerful ice attribute, but the chill seeping in from below is more like a pure, uncontrolled elemental force of heaven and earth. It is not very aggressive, but it is fundamentally different from Extreme Ice.

Simply put, Huo Yuhao's martial soul is like a wisp of mist, while what is rising from the Frost Jade Marrow Bed is more like a delicacy formed from the condensed energy of heaven and earth.

However, the food was a bit cold, so Huo Yuhao had to exert all his strength to merge his soul power with the extremely cold and pure power, and guide it to merge with his martial soul.

It was at this moment that Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, which had developed black patterns, finally came to life and began to take a share of the benefits from Huo Yuhao's absorption process.

Huo Yuhao glanced helplessly at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, making the other party feel uneasy.

"Hmm, as expected of the martial soul I bestowed upon you, you really can eat a lot. I used to eat so much ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow that I couldn't count it on one hand. It's normal for your martial soul to be able to eat a little."

Tianmeng Bingcan awkwardly tried to excuse herself.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to send some of the cold energy into his martial soul. He could feel that with each absorption of power, the quality of his second martial soul was constantly improving, and the rate of improvement was no slower than that of his True Sight Eye.

Eat up, eat up, hurry up and come out of the pupa. Seeing what the second martial soul actually looks like is the most important thing.

As streams of cold air flowed into Huo Yuhao's body, the temperature of Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice energy dropped even lower, and the black patterns on Huo Yuhao's martial soul became increasingly deep and dense, almost imperceptibly.

"That's great."

Watching Huo Yuhao cultivate, Bingdi couldn't help but sigh, "Yuhao's luck is just as good as yours. If I had had such a large piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice jade marrow back then, even overcoming the four-hundred-thousand-year-old Heavenly Tribulation bottleneck wouldn't have been a big deal."

Upon hearing Ice Emperor's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately showed an embarrassed expression: "At least our path is indeed not a problem, right? Since Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python have both successfully traversed this path, you and I, a million-year-old soul beast and a four-hundred-thousand-year-old Ice Emperor, naturally shouldn't be unable to traverse this path."

The Ice Emperor fell silent after Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words. After a long while, he nodded slightly and said, "It's a pity that I don't know where the Snow Emperor is now. Although this path is very dangerous, and a slight mistake could lead to annihilation, betting on the chosen one is much better than waiting for the heavenly tribulation to arrive."

"Although I didn't quite understand what the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were saying, that Tang San seems to be one of the chosen ones, and one who became a god ten thousand years ago. This battle is really going to be tough."

A hint of admiration appeared in Hyotei's eyes, but there was no trace of fear. Only this kind of spirit was the spirit that an emperor of ice should possess.

Tianmeng Bingcan looked at Bingdi with admiration and began to prepare a cheesy speech, but when she saw Bingdi's scorpion tail hook already swaying, she swallowed her words back.

"Yuhao, get ready, I'm about to unleash the power sealed within."

The seal of Hyotei is not solidified; it needs to be reinforced periodically, which consumes its original spiritual power. Unlike the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, its spiritual power is far weaker.

The sealed power all belongs to Huo Yuhao; it's merely sealing it on his behalf. If a portion of it could be released, the pressure on it to seal would naturally be much less.

On this bed of millennia-old icy jade marrow, both the fusion effect and safety will be greatly enhanced. How could one miss such an opportunity?

Huo Yuhao naturally understood Bingdi's thoughts, so he accepted her suggestion.

Intense soul power surged, causing Huo Yuhao's aura to transform into one of coldness and dominance. The immense primordial aura emanating from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion also rose within the small room.

Rings of emerald green light continuously emanated from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion tattoo. This light combined with the icy blue airflow rising from the Frost Jade Marrow Bed beneath Huo Yuhao, and was then absorbed into him through Huo Yuhao's internal energy cultivation.

Huo Yuhao felt a swelling and pain in the bones of his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso, and the pain became increasingly intense as the Ice Emperor's aura was released.

But Huo Yuhao had already suffered too much pain. This pain was so intense that he couldn't even show a change in his expression, and he even had the mind to think about the necromancy doll he had created.

Soon, Huo Yuhao understood why the Ice Emperor had said that the Frost Jade Marrow Bed was such a great opportunity for him.
