NABC Chapter 36 Electrox Awakens
Chapter 36 Electrox Awakens
It was already late at night when Huo Yuhao returned to his residence.
Du Bu Si communicated with him extensively, including but not limited to the acquisition of the second and third soul rings of the Ice Dragon Martial Soul.
Back in his room, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and took out the Ice Marrow from the Starlight Sapphire, beginning to slowly absorb its energy.
According to Poison Undying's plan, his second soul ring target was the Sea Dragon, a dominant soul beast in the ocean.
The Sea Dragon is powerful and rare; if it were a human martial soul, it would be a top-tier martial soul comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.
Of course, this only applies to naval operations.
Absorbing its soul ring can greatly enhance Huo Yuhao's meridian resilience, laying a solid foundation for his physical body.
At the same time, because ice and water share the same origin, even though the sea dragon is a water-attribute soul beast, the soul skills it brings will not waste Huo Yuhao's soul ring slots.
After giving Huo Yuhao all his instructions, Du Busi flew directly to the sea to find the Sea Dragon.
He wanted to capture one alive for Huo Yuhao, and once Huo Yuhao's physical condition met the requirements, he could absorb it immediately.
Wisps of cold air spread from the ice marrow, quickly causing a thin layer of frost to condense around it.
Huo Yuhao circulated his martial arts manual, and the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique was activated by him, allowing him to absorb the cold energy of the Ice Marrow.
"Yuhao has figured out the path he needs to take."
Seeing Huo Yuhao stimulate his meridians with ice marrow, the Ice Emperor exclaimed, "This is the first time, and probably the last time, that I've seen someone use extreme ice as a supplementary power."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm turned its head and glanced at Wu Jing.
It responded, "The ultimate ice is merely an additional attribute that Brother Hao gained from cultivating the Martial Ancestor's legacy. To place too much emphasis on it would be putting the cart before the horse for him."
"If one day he suddenly starts to take it seriously, it can only mean that the extreme ice soul power you sealed in his body is no longer enough to continue to improve his physical body."
Hyotei glanced at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm without leaving a trace.
She felt that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm at this moment seemed to have become truly different from what she remembered.
The Ice Emperor said, "If you had this mindset back then, a million-year-old Silkworm Emperor would probably have appeared in the far north."
"It's a pity you understand this a little too late. For your Ice Silkworm clan, spiritual power is what's truly commendable, not the shallow ice element within your body."
Recalling the moment when she tried to control the ice, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"Let's not talk about what happened back then."
Hyotei continued, "Since you can think this way now, what's your opinion on the matter Yuhao mentioned?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell silent.
Seeing this, Hyotei sneered and said, "Fine, I take back what I just said. You haven't changed at all; you're still that worm that I chased until there was nowhere left to run."
Huo Yuhao was unaware of the conversation within the Sea of Spirit at this moment.
He devoted himself entirely to cultivation, and the energy of Bing Suili slowly seeped into his limbs and bones under his guidance.
He felt excruciating pain, yet he remained perfectly lucid.
Even though the Azure Ice Dragon brought him the power of extreme ice, Huo Yuhao's inner self had not yet been tempered by the power of extreme ice.
Even though his meridians were far superior to those of all Great Soul Masters, Soul Venerables, and even some Soul Sects due to the Martial Scripture, he still could not withstand the sudden entry of the near-ultimate power into his body.
The temperature in the room continued to drop, and the moisture in the air began to condense into tiny ice particles as he breathed.
As the ice marrow energy continued to enter his body, Huo Yuhao's meridians began to tremble slightly, and were soon impacted to the point of almost shattering.
At this moment, he could feel that the meridians in his body were being stimulated by the cold power, and he was experiencing a burning pain as if he were being roasted by flames.
However, at the same time, Huo Yuhao's meridians were also becoming increasingly solid and refined at an extremely slow pace under this intense pain.
"Things will turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme."
At this moment, Bingdi transmitted a message to Huo Yuhao: "As long as you can persevere, Yuhao, the cultivation restrictions from Soul Venerable to Soul Saint will be greatly reduced."
Huo Yuhao hummed in response to Bingdi.
Seeing this, Ice Emperor used the soul power sealed in her soul ring as a guide, transforming the cold marrow power within Huo Yuhao's body into fine needles, and fiercely stabbed them into the weakest points of Huo Yuhao's meridians: "Hold on!"
Huo Yuhao was in excruciating pain, and a deep dragon roar uncontrollably escaped his lips.
Gradually, countless wounds began to appear on his body, and before the blood could flow out, it was frozen into bright red ice particles.
His mind was exceptionally clear, even calmer than usual: "Hyotei, keep going! I can still manage!"
Huo Yuhao was shaken to his core, and his Ice Dragon Wings instantly unfurled.
At the same time, a faint layer of icy blue dragon skin light membrane began to appear on his body, which was the only way to forcibly stabilize his injuries and prevent his body from collapsing.
At Huo Yuhao's instruction, Ice Emperor increased its attack speed.
At this moment, not only the meridians, but also the bones and skin are being tempered together.
Time slowly passed, and Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and persevered through the excruciating pain that could drive anyone mad.
Finally, as a sound of a soul barrier being broken came from within his body, Huo Yuhao let out a long breath.
"Soul power level has increased slightly."
Feeling the power surging within him, Huo Yuhao clenched his fist: "Ice Emperor, I'll have to rely on you to continue guiding the Ice Marrow for me until I can control it with my full power and make it circulate smoothly within my body."
Hyotei nodded: "No problem!"
Then, Ice Empress explained to Huo Yuhao her own, and even Snow Empress's, understanding of the ultimate power.
Watching Huo Yuhao and Bingdi continue their conversation about understanding ice, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sullenly crawled over to the gray bead.
"Now you're the only one who can keep me company."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered to herself, "I dare not speak to the Martial Ancestor's legacy, the Ice Emperor is unwilling to talk to me, and Brother Hao is busy cultivating all day long. Only you can listen to my rambling."
"If you ever wake up, we'll definitely be best friends."
However, as if unable to bear its constant chatter, the gray bead, which had been lying dormant beside the martial arts manual for nearly three months, suddenly trembled violently.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's small eyes widened instantly: "I recited you back to life?!"
"It's not that you, Tianmeng, have brought me back to life," an old figure appeared on the gray bead, "it's that I simply couldn't bear your nagging. When I regained my senses, you almost drove me to the brink of demonic possession."
"I can tolerate you confiding in me, but..."
The old man paused for a moment: "But you can't talk to me endlessly, 24 hours a day."
Huo Yuhao and Bingdi noticed what was happening.
Huo Yuhao gestured for Bingdi to relax, then stepped forward to the old man, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sir, you're awake."
"You have been in my spiritual sea for nearly three months, and I still haven't asked your name or background."
Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile: "My name is Electrolux."
"As for their origins, they are not from your world, just like the Martial Ancestor."
Huo Yuhao recalled the strange movements that came from the gray bead on the day the Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon awakened.
He said, "So the old gentleman had already woken up that day."
Electrolux laughed and said, "Yes, but at that time, my wisp of divine consciousness was too weak to manifest and meet you, young friend."
Then, Electrolux looked at Wu Jing and said, "Moreover, at that time, young friend was at a critical moment of transformation, so I should not disturb your cultivation."
"Young friend, you are exceptionally talented, and with the help of the Martial Ancestor, as well as million-year-old soul beasts and extremely ferocious beasts, your future achievements are limitless."
Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and Ice Emperor all noticed what Electrolux mentioned.
Divine consciousness.
