Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 844 The Hidden Strength Delivered to Our Doorstep (6K)

Inside this cave, there are a dozen or so strange ice pillars, crisscrossing and varying in size. Each ice pillar is pure white. Even under the emerald light emanating from the Ice Emperor, they remain as white as jade.

Inside those pristine white ice pillars, liquid could be seen flowing within, and the terrifying chill emanated from these ice pillars.

Unlike the restrained extreme cold of the Ice Crystal, the chill here is impossible to contain. The air itself seems viscous.

The concentration of ice elements had reached a level that Huo Yuhao simply couldn't absorb.

"This is it. This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow," the Ice Emperor said with deep emotion.

Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow!

Upon hearing these five words, Huo Yuhao's spirits lifted. He was currently unable to move his body, feeling as if he were frozen, but with the help of the Soul Core, his senses and mind were normal.

With his mental energy focused, Huo Yuhao began to silently sense everything around him. Although his body was frozen, a layer of icy blue covered his skin, quietly protecting him.

With a flash of light, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emerged from Huo Yuhao's body. Although it wasn't originally an extreme ice attribute.

But when it comes to facing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, he is undoubtedly the most experienced one.

"Bingbing, what do you plan to do?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked Bingdi.

The Ice Emperor said in a deep voice, "Although we no longer have physical bodies, this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is the purest natural treasure of our ice attribute. Using it as material and integrating it with our essence, it is possible to re-form a physical body."

"Although this body is still primarily energy-based, if we successfully fuse with it, we can survive even if we are a certain distance away from Yuhao in the future. Also, if something really happens to Yuhao, we can..."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao conveyed his thoughts telepathically, "What can I do?"

Hyotei took a deep breath, looked intently at him, and said, "I can leave you and find another host that may help us achieve immortality."

"With the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow, our spiritual essence can have a vessel, and it won't dissipate so easily."

Huo Yuhao's expression was very calm, and he looked at Bingdi with a smile.

Although the Ice Emperor gazed longingly at the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow, he had no intention of making a move.

"If that's the case, why not do nothing?"

Huo Yuhao had recovered by this time, feeling less stiff, and even had the mood to take out a rocking chair and lie down on it.

Hyotei's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Reconstructing my body, barely surviving, what's the point?"

"I just finished reconstructing my body, and the next thing I know, you're making me run around doing this and that. You want me to work for free? I'm not that easy to fool."

"Put away your notebook, kid. I'm not going to work for you for free."

Ice Emperor's answer was impeccable, so much so that Huo Yuhao could only turn his gaze to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm replied arrogantly, "Impossible. Don't look at me like that. I've eaten enough Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow before. Compared to sleeping soundly in your Sea of ​​Spirit, I can tell which is more important."

Xue Di, who had been hiding in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, fell silent. Did this guy get his priorities backwards?

But Xue Di also saw it very clearly: even if Huo Yuhao were to extract all their power from themselves and return it to them after they absorbed the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow, they would at most only recover to their strength before they were alive.

But what good was that? The Ice Emperor had told her about what happened after Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had trapped her.

The path to godhood is blocked. If you don't unite around Huo Yuhao, you will only die silently. On the contrary, if you stick with Huo Yuhao to the very end, you will have the hope of living forever.

"What about this ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow?"

Huo Yuhao asked with some confusion.

"Just leave it to me and Xue Di. When we absorb it, it's the same as when you absorb it. We will convert the power of these ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow into pure primordial power and seal it away. If you have any requests, you can take it out and use it directly."

"Seven rings condensing a soul core can certainly accelerate your cultivation, but it's also quite a mess. If it weren't for Tianmeng's source power saving you."

"This also means that the difficulty for you to break through the title is actually the difficulty for a level 98 Soul Master to break through to level 99 Limit Douluo. Once you reach level 89, without some reserves as a foundation, you won't be able to go any higher even if you work yourself to death."

"Your first soul core is based on the ultimate fire and ultimate light, with the other major soul powers as secondary. A considerable portion of the power source for your second soul core comes from the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow."

Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly at Bingdi's explanation.

This thing is like real estate; having it inside your body gives you peace of mind. When you condense your soul core, you want to buy other assets. Without some foundation, you can only spend time and force it.

It can be said that these few strands of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow saved Huo Yuhao an unknown amount of time and effort in his arduous cultivation.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at Bingdi expectantly from the side and said, "Bingbing, do you need any help?"

"Get out of the way." Ice Emperor pushed him aside and floated to a piece of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow.

A powerful azure light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the small, ancient ice cave with every detail clearly visible. Every strand of ice marrow seemed to come alive under the light.

With a sway of her body, the Ice Emperor unleashed a massive, emerald-green scorpion tail from behind her. The tail lashed out, its gleaming hook piercing fiercely into the millennia-old Xuanbing marrow before her.

With a soft "poof!", the entire Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Cave trembled. Huo Yuhao clearly felt an even stronger cold current instantly spread, but the energy fluctuations within this cold current also suddenly intensified.

However, this change only lasted for a moment. Immediately afterwards, streams of dark blue liquid could be seen rapidly entering her body along the sharp tail hook of Hyotei, being absorbed and integrated into her own body.

Ice Emperor was, after all, Huo Yuhao's martial soul. As soon as she started absorbing it, Huo Yuhao also sensed it. His previously stagnant soul power immediately began to circulate. Moreover, after the pure ice attribute was infused into him, his soul power also began to increase significantly.

Hyotei spread his arms to his sides, transforming them into two enormous Hyotei claws that undulated slowly in the air, creating streaks of emerald green light.

The emerald green halo intertwined and outlined in the air, and strange emerald green runes continuously formed around her body before being imprinted on her.

The whole process was very quick. A quarter of an hour later, the first piece of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow had dimmed, and the liquid inside, full of vitality and life force, had completely disappeared.
