Chapter 220 Hyotei: It hurts, it hurts so much!
After pondering for a moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly brightened, and he blurted out, "Soul Fusion!"
If there is any way to smoothly merge the soul power of two independent individuals without causing repulsion or conflict.
Therefore, under the influence of the special dimensional rules of Douluo Continent, there is no more suitable way than spirit fusion.
Just like before, when he fused with Di Ruiqiu's martial soul, Di Ruiqiu transformed into the armor on his body. And when he fused with Gu Yuena, he was even able to directly activate the Dragon God's position.
By leveraging the unique nature of the Soul Contract, he and the Snow Empress can maintain a special Martial Soul Fusion state, allowing the Snow Empress to retain her own body and cultivation while remaining inseparable from him.
So, in a sense, wouldn't this be equivalent to a completely new form of soul spirit?
Gu Yuena nodded, her amethyst eyes revealing approval: "You're right, that's what I thought too."
The only difficulty right now is how to achieve 100% compatibility between you and the Snow Empress through spirit fusion. After all, the Snow Empress is still considered a spirit beast at present.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed slightly again.
The reason he was able to achieve a perfect Martial Soul Fusion with Gu Yuena and Di Ruiqiu was due to extremely special circumstances.
Huo Yuhao inherited the Destruction Godhood of the Golden Dragon King, and he and Gu Yuena, who was the Silver Dragon King, were originally from the same source. They had also undergone attribute transfer with auspicious beasts, so their fates were closely linked.
This also means that, whether it's Gu Yuena, who is the Silver Dragon King, or Di Rachel, who has transformed into a human, their fusion rate in terms of martial souls can reach 100%, or even exceed it.
Although there were indeed many entanglements of fate between him and Xue Di, it was clearly far from enough to achieve a complete fusion of their martial souls, let alone a 100% fusion.
Even though his Spirit Eye Martial Soul has the effect of the Fate Threads that can facilitate Martial Soul fusion, achieving 100% fusion is still extremely difficult.
In the world of Soul Masters, achieving a Soul Fusion Rate of over 80% is already considered extremely rare, while a 100% compatibility rate is something that only exists in legends for other Soul Masters.
Not to mention that Xue Di is still a soul beast, which is completely different from Di Rui Qiu who has taken human form or Gu Yue Na who has a divine status.
The Snow Empress and Ice Empress, standing to the side, were increasingly confused. Having seen the examples of Ice Empress and Heavenly Dream, they were naturally familiar with the concept of spirits.
However, what Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena are discussing now is clearly beyond their previous understanding.
However, upon hearing that she needed to achieve compatibility with Huo Yuhao, Xue Di glanced at the Ice God's Heart, which was still suspended in mid-air, with her beautiful icy blue eyes. After a moment of contemplation, her clear and cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Yuhao, do you still remember that 100,000-year-old snow lotus?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Xue Di would suddenly bring up this matter, but he still nodded.
Without further ado, Xue Di smiled slightly and responded softly:
"Actually, that was not the final form of that snow lotus. To be more precise, it should actually be called the Ice God Lotus."
Now, with the Heart of the Ice God as a catalyst, perhaps it can be taken a step further, transforming into the Twin Lotus of the Ice God.
"I know that!"
Finally hearing something she could understand, Hyotei, who had been silent for a long time, excitedly raised her little hand and spoke first:
"In the core region of the far north, there is a lake that never freezes, but the temperature of its water is much lower than the surrounding millennia-old ice. Tens of thousands of years ago, many ice lotuses existed in the lake."
Even the soul beasts of our far north at that time had a significantly higher success rate if they chose to undergo their heavenly tribulation there, so that lake was also called the Ice God Lake.
After a pause, Hyotei's tone carried a hint of regret as he softly said, "Unfortunately, that Ice God Lake has gradually begun to dry up over time."
To protect the remaining icy essence in the lake, the Snow Empress had long ago designated it a forbidden zone for spirit beasts of the far north. Her Ice Palace was built not far from that Ice God Lake.
At this point, a strange light flashed in Hyotei's emerald eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao and Xue Di.
"As for the Twin Ice God Lotus, it is a variant of the Ice God Lotus, growing in pairs. Legend has it that if two people can consume it at the same time, they will develop an extremely mysterious connection with each other."
The reason why Hyotei was so clear about these things was because when she broke through the 300,000-year bottleneck and damaged her own origin, she had also searched for that Ice God Lake with a last glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, at that time, let alone the legendary Ice God Twin Lotus, even ordinary Ice God Lotuses were extremely rare, which was far from enough to repair her essence.
What Hyotei hasn't revealed yet is that, according to legend, if the two of them can consume the Ice God's Twin Lotus at the same time, they will receive the Ice God's blessing, and their fates will be intertwined, never to be separated.
For the Ice Empress, who had virtually no chance of surviving the next tribulation, that was perhaps her only chance to receive a response from the Snow Empress about her feelings.
But the result?
Upon suddenly hearing that the Snow Empress actually planned to use the Ice God Twin Lotus she had catalyzed to consume together with Huo Yuhao, one can only imagine the complex emotions she felt.
This feeling is like an honest, hardworking office worker who one day gets incredibly lucky and marries a wife who is as beautiful as an angel.
Not long after their marriage, his wife brought her best friend home, and upon closer inspection, he realized that his wife's best friend was none other than the white moonlight he had longed for but could never have in his youth.
His wife smiled and told him that making a good life for the three of them was the most important thing.
Only at the very end did he suddenly realize that he was not the protagonist of this happiness at all, but merely a connector between his wife and best friend.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Ignoring for the moment the Ice Emperor, who had suddenly started crouching in the corner, drawing circles on the ground with her fingers and scorpion tail, radiating a dark aura, the Snow Emperor nodded and continued:
"Bing'er is right, and with the help of the Ice God Twin Lotus, I can also temporarily seal away part of my own essence."
During the attempt to re-transform, we will then sign a soul contract with you. This will minimize the stress on your body.
In Xue Di's perception, although Huo Yuhao's blood and qi were surging abnormally, his physical strength was only close to that of an ordinary human Soul Douluo.
To imagine, as Gu Yuena described, directly bearing her nearly 700,000 years of power while completely preserving her cultivation level, is still too far-fetched.
"no."
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, and almost instinctively retorted:
"If we add the transformation method, even if we seal your origin through the Ice God Twin Lotus, your cultivation will only be preserved for a maximum of 100,000 years, which completely contradicts my original intention."
Although the Snow Empress, with her 100,000 years of cultivation, is much stronger than an ordinary Title Douluo, she is clearly several levels weaker than the Snow Empress, who has nearly 700,000 years of cultivation and whose combat power is comparable to that of a Limit Douluo.
"Isn't that safer?"
Xue Di's voice was devoid of much variation; she simply stated the facts calmly.
Gu Yuena bit her lower lip lightly, then let out a soft breath and said:
"I admit I was a bit too hasty. But preserving all your cultivation is a must, even if it means using other, more complex sealing methods."
Ever since she decided to help Huo Yuhao return to his original destiny, Gu Yuena has been thinking about how to prepare more ways to save his life.
If the Snow Empress, who has retained nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, were to accompany Huo Yuhao, it would undoubtedly make him much safer.
Not to mention, Huo Yuhao will definitely continue to unlock the power inside the Golden Dragon King's divine core after he returns.
Unlike the first four golden rings of qi and blood, it is only from the fifth ring onwards that one truly comes into contact with the core power of the Golden Dragon King.
Even after condensing the seventh golden ring of blood and qi, Huo Yuhao's physical strength would be comparable to that of a third-level god. However, the negative emotions that would follow would also reach an extremely terrifying level.
Unsure whether her counterpart in another world would be able to help Huo Yuhao stabilize his rising negative emotions, Gu Yuena could only turn to Xue Di for help.
However, even if the Snow Empress, who had only retained 100,000 years of cultivation, could use the power of the Ice God's Heart to quell the riots caused by the fifth Qi and Blood Golden Ring, that was already her limit.
Therefore, Gu Yuena naturally had to ensure that Xue Di could become a soul spirit while retaining her original cultivation level.
Only in this way could she feel at ease letting Huo Yuhao return to the original, uncertain path of fate.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. Having had in-depth conversations with Gu Yuena, he naturally understood what she was worried about.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke:
"Snow Empress, the vast amount of energy you extracted during your transformation can be sealed and transformed into a Snow Pill, which I will temporarily store in my lower dantian."
In his previous life, the Snow Pill, which sealed most of the Snow Emperor's original energy, was able to remain safely within his body, even though he only had the cultivation of a Soul Master at the time, thanks to the help of his teacher, Elex.
Compared to his previous life, his physical condition is now far stronger, which naturally allows him to bear more of the Snow Emperor's original power.
"No way! That would be like carrying a bomb that could explode at any moment!"
Gu Yuena and Xue Di spoke almost in unison. Having those memories, they naturally knew better than anyone how much trouble the Snow Pill had caused Huo Yuhao.
It could even be said that if it weren't for the existence of that snow pill, Elder Yi wouldn't have ignited his divine sense to protect him.
Perhaps Huo Yuhao will have more choices on his path to growth.
"There are always gains and losses; everything is fair, isn't it?"
Huo Yuhao squeezed Xue Di's palm affectionately, stopping her from speaking further, and then turned to Gu Yuena and said seriously:
"Moreover, compared to the Golden Dragon King Divine Core, which is a completely uncontrollable bomb, once the Snow Pill is condensed, as long as I don't come into contact with ice-attribute natural treasures that are over ten thousand years old for a long time, it will not have any negative effects."
Even after I condense my own ice-attribute soul core in the future, I will still be able to control this Snow Pill.
A moment of silence fell over the surroundings, and the air seemed heavy.
After a long while, Gu Yuena finally let out a soft sigh:
"So, what should we do next?"
She never expected that she had only just started, but after a few words of discussion, the entire plan would be completely different from what she had originally planned.
But according to Huo Yuhao's final statement, this method might be the most suitable solution at present, even if she thinks the process might be a bit too crazy.
If successful, Huo Yuhao, who has been in a state of Martial Soul Fusion with Xue Di, will be strong enough to rival top-tier Title Douluos even without using the power of the Snow Pill and Dragon Core.
However, if the Snow Pill and Dragon Core are activated simultaneously, then under the circumstances of disregarding everything, it might be possible to unleash power comparable to that of a god.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Xue Di's usually cold voice even carried a hint of a smile:
"Perhaps there is no need to worry so much. The reason why the Snow Pill was affected by the Frost Jade Marrow Bed was because my spiritual consciousness was greatly depleted at the time, and I was not able to control the Snow Pill."
But now I will completely transform into Yuhao's power, and that snow pill is just a backup energy source for me.
In the event of a riot, it could be thrown out directly; it might even serve as an extremely luxurious bomb.
Hyotei, who had been squatting in the corner, sneaked over at some point and hugged Huo Yuhao from behind.
Her legs were unceremoniously wrapped around his waist, and her emerald green scorpion tail intimately encircled the two of them.
"You guys finally figured it out! Where are we going next? By the way, why hasn't Tianmeng come out yet? Is he asleep again?"
Seeing the Ice Emperor clinging to Huo Yuhao with unusual ease, completely devoid of the aloofness she displayed as one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Snow Emperor subconsciously frowned before softly saying:
"Next, we'll go to Ice God Lake. Only there can we better contain the energy that will be unleashed later."
……
Ice God Lake.
Just as Hyotei had previously stated, there exists an extremely large and deep pit in the core area of this far north.
The so-called riverbed that was exposed after the river dried up was actually a series of glacial faults that stretched downwards, resembling a giant ice lotus hanging upside down in the world.
Only in the deepest part can one see a pool of water the size of a pond, shimmering with a deep blue light, bringing the only brilliance to this desolate place.
