Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

Huo Yuhao glanced down at the transformed carving knife in his hand, then stood up and sat cross-legged by the bed.

He held the carving knife in his right hand, closed his eyes, took a few breaths, and adjusted his state to the most stable level.

Then, he raised his right hand and slowly placed the carving knife, which emitted a warm blue light, on his brow.

The moment the carving knife touched the skin between his eyebrows, Huo Yuhao felt an extremely warm and smooth sensation.

The touch felt less like metal and more like a piece of warm jade gently pressing against his forehead, gentle and without any sharpness.

Immediately afterwards, a strange aura surged out from the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, suddenly spreading out from his sea of ​​consciousness, as if an invisible gate had been opened at that moment.

The moment that aura came into contact with the pure life force contained in the carving knife, they became tightly entangled like two magnets attracting each other.

The next instant, a dazzling cyan light suddenly burst forth from the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade.

The light was gentle and not dazzling, like the softest morning light in spring, which bathed the entire room in a light blue hue the moment it bloomed.

The immense, suffocatingly pure life force hidden deep within the carving knife, at this moment, surged into Huo Yuhao's body like a flood that had found an outlet, flowing down his brow.

The instant that torrent of life surged in, Huo Yuhao's entire body was dyed a translucent cyan.

His skin, his muscles, his bones, even his hair and nails, were completely soaked in the blue light in that instant.

The blue light was not dazzling; instead, it was as soft as a thin layer of jade, enveloping his entire being.

Deep within his consciousness, the vast but shattered sea of ​​his spirit was also filled with this intense blue light.

A cyan light spread out above the sea of ​​spirit, flowing slowly like the aurora borealis, turning the broken mountains and dried-up riverbeds into a verdant landscape.

An unprecedented feeling of comfort swept over every tiny corner of his body like a tidal wave.

Huo Yuhao felt that every cell in his body, from the deepest part, was groaning happily, greedily absorbing the life force surging from the carving knife.

The feeling was like a traveler who had been trekking through a dry desert for days finally finding a spring.

Every inch of my skin and every bone in my body is desperately absorbing this long-awaited nourishment.

He can see everything inside his body.

Under the azure light, his meridians, internal organs, and bones became clearly visible, and all of them were now tinged with a vibrant, life-giving turquoise color.

His meridians, which had been fragile and narrow due to long-term malnutrition, began to become supple and elastic under the influence of the blue light.

Although the width of his meridians was not directly increased, the constantly accumulating resilience made him fully capable of withstanding even more powerful soul force impacts than before.

Bathed in the cyan light, the bones began to gleam with a faint jade-like luster, and the bone material became denser and harder, as if it had transformed from ordinary limestone into refined steel.

The most noticeable change was in the impurities inside his body.

Under the repeated washing and cleansing of the cyan light, wisps of grayish-black grime began to be rapidly expelled from his pores.

Those grime were the accumulated hidden injuries, blocked meridians, and various impurities from this body over the past eleven years, which could not be cleared away through normal cultivation.

But in the face of the purest torrent of life, the Gold of Life, these stubborn impurities melt away like snow meeting hot water, and are ruthlessly expelled from the body.

Feeling the earth-shattering changes taking place in his body from the inside out, even Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel an overwhelming joy.

His current physical condition is really terrible.

Eleven years of malnutrition and a long-term repressed life have left his body in a much weaker physical condition than that of his peers.

With multiple blockages in the meridians, the body is extremely weak, and the bones are fragile due to insufficient nourishment.

With such a foundation, no matter how advanced his cultivation techniques are, it will be difficult for him to go very far.

If the foundation is too weak, the potential is locked in.

Without any medicine or rare and precious herbs to assist him, even with his knowledge and skills, there was no good way to fundamentally change this situation.

Now, under the full nourishment of the boundless life force of the Gold of Life, his body has undergone a complete transformation.

If his previous body was likened to an unpolished rock, then now the rough outer shell of that rock has been chiseled away, revealing the crystal-clear jade-like interior.

This baptism was tantamount to elevating him from the level of a mediocre talent to the ranks of cultivation geniuses.

Not only did his talent for cultivation receive a fundamental improvement, but his basic physical attributes also underwent a qualitative leap under the tempering of his life force.

If he could only withstand a spirit ring of about three hundred years at most before, now he can withstand at least a spirit ring of about a thousand years, or even longer.

The difference is several times greater, and for the initial stage of cultivation speed, this gap is almost decisive.

After understanding the changes in his body, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.

The integration is not over yet; the cleansing of the body is only the first step. The real key is yet to come.

His gaze suddenly sharpened, and he raised his left hand, his five fingers spread wide, as if grasping the carving knife of the living being floating in front of his brow.

Under his mental control, the emerald green carving knife slowly floated up, turned in mid-air, and pointed its sharp tip at his own forehead.

The next second, he pushed hard with his palm.

The tip of the carving knife transformed into a streak of blue light, piercing fiercely into his brow.

Extreme pain swept through my entire body in that instant.

It wasn't the pain of flesh being torn apart, but a feeling as if one's soul had been directly pierced through.

The blade pierced precisely at the core of the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, the most crucial channel for spiritual energy to enter and exit the body.

The intense pain was like thousands of red-hot steel needles piercing his skull simultaneously, exploding in his mental world.

Huo Yuhao's reaction was merely to frown slightly.

He had experienced far more intense pain in his previous life.

Compared to the pain of burning one's divine position, this is nothing.

The moment the carving knife pierced the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, the most core and purest primordial life force contained within surged directly into his spiritual sea like a flood bursting its banks.

This torrent of life is more powerful and purer than the wave that just cleansed my body.

A surging vitality poured down like a waterfall from the sky above the sea of ​​spirit, and the azure light illuminated the entire shattered world.

Although Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea was severely damaged, it had once reached the level of a God-King. Even if this vitality were ten times larger, it would not be enough to destroy it.

Therefore, although the surging vitality was immense, it did not cause any impact or damage to his spiritual sea.

On the contrary, he felt an extreme coolness, as if life force enveloped the wounds.

Nourished by that immense vitality, he even had a kind of illusion.

It was as if his damaged soul and spiritual sea were being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But Huo Yuhao knew very well that this was just an illusion.

Although the life force of the living gold is immense, its quality is ultimately not on the same level as his god-king-level divine soul.

This amount of vitality is far from enough to bring about a substantial improvement in his injuries.

However, despite the illusion, this infusion of vitality did bring some real changes to his spiritual world.

The once dry and cracked earth began to seep a thin layer of moisture under the bluish light.

While it's far from enough to revitalize this land, at least it's no longer the lifeless place it once was.

Even the smallest crack edges are beginning to show extremely subtle signs of repair.

Although the progress was so slow as to be almost negligible, it was at least the first step in a positive direction.

In the deepest part of the spiritual sea, the gray figure, firmly locked in place by the inky black energy, also felt the torrent of life descending from the sky at the same moment.

The figure suddenly raised its head, and for the first time, a look of joy appeared on that blurry face.

The azure light, like raindrops, fell upon his withered and thin soul, making his outline a little clearer in an instant.

The soul that was slowly dissipating became much more stable under the nourishment of life force.

While it was far from enough to restore his strength, it would at least free him from worrying about it dissipating for a considerable period of time.

At this moment, the wound on Huo Yuhao's forehead was undergoing a strange change.

The blue carving knife piercing between his eyebrows trembled slightly, but no blood flowed from the wound.

The carving knife slowly softened, turning into a bluish-green liquid that flowed into his forehead through the wound.

Huo Yuhao was once again enveloped in a dense cyan aura, and a powerful life force continuously washed over his body, centered on his forehead.

The wound did not close as the carving knife was inserted; instead, it slowly opened under the influence of a ring of bluish-gold light.

The muscles and bones around the wound repeatedly evert and retract, like a baby's eyes just opening.

This process was extremely painful, but Huo Yuhao remained as steady as a mountain.

The cyan-gold light gradually stabilized, and in the center of the crack, a small gray bead materialized, cleverly merging with the surrounding reshaped muscles and bones.

The pain seemed endless. But at some point, the excruciating pain suddenly vanished, replaced by boundless warmth.

Huo Yuhao knew that the fusion had been successful.

He opened his eyes, a flash of cyan-gold light passing through them.

He could clearly sense that a strange eye had appeared on his forehead, emitting a soft blue light.

"Is this the Eye of Life?"

He raised his hand and gently touched his forehead. With a thought, the eye completely disappeared, and his forehead returned to its smooth state, as if it had never existed.

The next second, his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​his mind once again.

This broken world has not undergone earth-shattering changes, but it has gained a vitality that it never had before.

The parched land was beginning to feel slightly damp, and even the smallest cracks were showing signs of extremely slow repair.

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw a bright green orb hanging above the Sea of ​​Spirit, resembling a small green sun in this almost real world.

Huo Yuhao waved to the emerald green orb, which then flew down from the sky and hovered steadily in his palm.

Then, in a flash, his spiritual body arrived at the place where the divine soul was sealed.

Nourished by life force, Electrolux's soul body became much more stable than before. Although its outline was still blurry, it was no longer the kind of thing that could dissipate at any moment.
