When the scarlet Soul Ring interwoven with golden-green patterns settled onto Huo Yuyao, a violent surge of Soul Power flooded into his body, making him shudder violently as he clenched his teeth.

The phantom of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared outside Huo Yuyao's body. Together with the still-conscious Ice Empress, he carefully helped control the Soul Ring's energy, releasing it in an orderly manner so that Huo Yuyao could absorb it.

As time passed, Huo Yuyao's face gradually flushed red. It was a sign that the continuously surging Soul Power was racing through his body, pushing its burden toward the limit.

Even on the frigid snowy plain, the heat rising from Huo Yuyao's body had already become visible to the naked eye.

His sweat turned into mist and rose, only to freeze under the cold temperature outside.

Tian Meng closely observed Huo Yuyao's condition. Seeing this, he said, "Bing Bing, pay attention. Yuyao is about to reach his limit!"

"No! I can still hold on!" Before the Ice Empress could respond, Huo Yuyao spoke first despite the pressure the Soul Power was placing on his body. His eyes were filled with determination.

Tian Meng was startled and hurriedly said, "Yuyao, don't speak. Focus on absorbing the Soul Power!"

But Huo Yuyao refused to listen. He forced out, "Ice Empress, don't listen to Brother Sky Dream. Keep releasing the Soul Power. I can hold on!"

Tian Meng hurriedly said, "Why are you so stubborn, Yuyao? With your Brother Sky Dream's skill and methods, even if you can't absorb all the Soul Power in Bing Bing's Soul Ring, it won't be wasted. It will be stored temporarily and can provide you with at least two more Soul Rings later!"

"When an ordinary Soul Master adds a Soul Ring, they can at most rise by two or three levels. The Soul Power you're absorbing this time is enough to raise you by five or six levels. Continuing to force yourself will only harm you!"

While the man and the insect spoke, Huo Yuyao had already absorbed quite a bit more Soul Power.

He forced a strained smile and reassured him, "Brother Sky Dream, there aren't many chances to rapidly raise my Soul Power Level by absorbing the power of a Soul Ring."

"Once this power is sealed, when it's released again, it can only be transformed into Soul Rings. It won't be able to raise my Soul Power anymore."

"The Ice Empress can provide two more Soul Rings, which means that afterward, there will be two times when I'll only obtain Soul Rings and won't be able to use the opportunity to raise my Soul Power!"

"The higher the level, the harder it is to advance. That's why I have to seize every chance to raise my Soul Power Level while absorbing a Soul Ring!"

After a pause, Huo Yuyao drew in a breath of cold air before continuing, "Brother Sky Dream, Mother can only wait for me for three years! I can't cultivate slowly, because there simply isn't enough time!"

"Please, Brother Sky Dream, Ice Empress, help me! Let me fight this out! I can hold on!"

As he spoke, Huo Yuyao's face and body had already turned blood-red. The twisted tendons and blood vessels beneath his skin looked as though they were about to burst, and even the mist rising from his body carried a faint tinge of red!

Yet Huo Yuyao seemed completely unaware of the pain. He turned a pleading gaze toward Tian Meng's projection of Spiritual Power outside.

Tian Meng lost his temper for the first time!

"You can't hold on! Your body has already reached its limit! Do you think the Soul Power of a four-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast is hot water?! If you continue, your meridians will snap apart like rotten rope! Your flesh will explode, and even your bones will be blasted into powder!"

After blowing up at Huo Yuyao, Tian Meng turned toward the Ice Empress's Soul Ring. "Ice Empress, why are you still releasing Soul Power to him?! He's crazy, and you're going crazy with him too?! If he dies, we're all finished!"

The Ice Empress's cold voice rang out. "I didn't have much hope for that Ascension Plan you mentioned earlier. It was merely a choice made out of desperation. But now, I feel that he may truly be able to become a god in the future!"

"He has opportunity, conviction, perseverance, determination, and talent... If he can't become a god in the future, then perhaps no one in this era can."

"Since we've confirmed that he will be the one leading the future, of course I have to listen to him. I also want to see exactly where his limits lie?!"

Tian Meng's face collapsed, yet he still had no choice but to carefully help control the Soul Power. "Two lunatics! You're both insane!"

Huo Yuyao grinned savagely, his mouth already filled with scarlet blood. "Brother Sky Dream, trust me. I'm someone chosen by both you and Elder Yi. I won't fall here. I can hold on!"

Seeing that Huo Yuyao could still smile, Tian Meng immediately shrieked, "You can't hold on!"

"I can hold on!!!" Huo Yuyao roared, venting the pain in his body. The hot blood seeping from his skin mixed with his sweat and steamed into a blood-colored ice mist amid the frigid fluctuations of Soul Power!

"You can't hold on!!!"

"I can hold on!!!" Huo Yuyao answered tit for tat. Even after blood began flowing from all seven apertures, he continued to persist!

Tian Meng was beside himself with fury. He roared at Huo Yuyao, "What are you going to use to hold on?! Your feeble Soul Power, which hasn't even been attached to a Second Ring, or your body that's about to collapse?! You're about to die, do you know that?!!!"

"With my life!!!" Huo Yuyao's eyes were blood-red. His body, no longer able to stand, lay sprawled on the ice. His fingers dug desperately into the solid ice, yet he still stubbornly met Tian Meng's gaze. His eyes held nothing but an almost frenzied determination.

"I swore that I would bring Mother back! Even for Mother's sake, I won't just die like this... Help me, Brother Sky Dream!"

Tian Meng gazed at the nearly hysterical look in Huo Yuyao's eyes and suddenly fell silent.

Afterward, he stopped speaking and silently helped control the Soul Power within the Ice Empress's Soul Ring, watching Huo Yuyao's body grow worse with every passing moment.

The excessive influx of Soul Power and the meridians pushed beyond their carrying capacity caused the Ice Empress's Soul Power to begin leaking outward. Blood mist no longer rose from Huo Yuyao's body. Instead, scarlet ice crystals burst forth together with his flesh!

His entire body had nearly become a blood-colored ice sculpture, a work of art filled with the force of life and the cruelty of nature!

By this point, Huo Yuyao's Life Aura was already like a candle flickering in the wind, as though it might go out in the next moment. Yet his body, riddled with wounds, continued to instinctively convert the Soul Power.

Tian Meng looked at Huo Yuyao's vacant eyes, which were almost devoid of consciousness yet still stretched wide open, and let out a soft sigh. "Ice Empress, end it."

This time, the Ice Empress readily complied. Working with Tian Meng, she sealed away the remaining power in the Soul Ring.

This Ferocious Beast Soul Ring, bearing four golden-green patterns, finally fused completely with the youth lying prone in the snow and ice.

The Golden Silkworm Shadow before the youth gradually dimmed inch by inch, transforming into wisps of Flowing Light that gently wrapped around Huo Yuyao's nearly shattered body.

Only a low curse scattered into the wind: "From now on, I'm not your brother. You're my grandfather. How did I end up boarding this pirate ship with you...? Damn it..."

Outside the Heavenly Screen, the entire Douluo Continent fell silent at this moment.

Dude, you said you would give everything to revive your mother. We thought you were just talking, but you actually went and did it for real?!
