Fusion Complete, Advancing to Soul Ancestor!

Huo Yuhao nodded excitedly.

This was the same as in the original story.

After all, the Ice Empress was a Super Soul Beast nearing four hundred thousand years old, and her bloodline was anything but ordinary.

Generally speaking, a torso bone was actually just a spine bone, not all the bones in the torso.

Bones such as the ribs and sternum, if one could find Spirit Bones to fuse with them, were classified as External Soul Bones. Their value far surpassed that of ordinary Spirit Bones.

But with the Ice Empress doing this, it was equivalent to giving him four-hundred-thousand-year External chest and rib bones at the same time.

The enhancement to his body naturally went without saying.

As he pondered this, Huo Yuhao flipped his hand over, revealing a snow-white pill.

"Hm? What is this?" The Ice Empress's surprised gaze fell upon the pill.

Huo Yuhao grinned. "This is a pill I prepared to assist with Spirit Bone fusion."

"Assist with Spirit Bone fusion?"

The Ice Empress gave Huo Yuhao a long look.

It seems his second martial soul truly possesses the power of prophecy. Otherwise, how could he have even prepared such a rare pill? The Ice Empress thought to herself, taking Huo Yuhao even more seriously.

Huo Yuhao tipped back his head and swallowed the Bone Fusion Pill.

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth. A surge of pure energy instantly spread from his chest and permeated Huo Yuhao's entire body.

Huo Yuhao looked intently at the Ice Empress. "Ice Empress, let's begin."

The moment he spoke, a dense ball of jade-green light drifted from the Ice Empress's true body. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wrapped it in his Spiritual Power and drew the jade-green glow into Huo Yuhao's mind.

In the next instant, an icy chill bloomed within his Spiritual Sea. Huo Yuhao shuddered, feeling as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

This was different from the cold he had felt in the Far North Core Region. This frostiness emerged directly within his soul, as though even his thoughts had been frozen solid.

That extreme cold was even more overbearing than the sensation Snow Empress had given him.

The Ice Empress's voice rang out. "I'll use the cold to numb your pain and reduce your suffering to the minimum. Combined with the body Snow Empress previously remade for you and the pill you prepared in advance, there shouldn't be any major problems with the Spirit Bone's transformation and fusion."

Huo Yuhao's voice turned solemn. "Alright!"

Before his words had faded, jade-green light flared brilliantly within Huo Yuhao's mind. His newly evolved Ice God Eyes also turned jade-green at that moment.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Snow Empress showed no intention of interfering, allowing the Ice Empress to proceed.

Two jade beams shot from Huo Yuhao's eyes and struck the Ice Empress's true body with perfect accuracy.

Her one-and-a-half-meter-long body immediately began to tremble violently.

Her long tail in particular rippled continuously with jade-green light, while the diamond-like hexagonal protrusions on her body radiated a dazzling brilliance.

Then Huo Yuhao's body trembled lightly and was lifted from the ground by a jade-green glow, while the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's true body swiftly moved beneath him.

Intense jade-green light surged frantically toward her tail hook. When that jade green turned into a vivid, dripping dark green, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion suddenly lashed up her tail hook and viciously stabbed it into Huo Yuhao's tailbone.

Huo Yuhao's body shuddered violently. He felt as though something had instantly pierced through his tailbone.

That sharp, pointed thing punctured his skin, fascia, and flesh before embedding itself viciously into his bone.

Under that nerve-wracking stimulus, Huo Yuhao's face instantly twisted.

Then, as though stimulated by the intense pain, the energy of the Bone Fusion Pill he had taken earlier suddenly lit up across his entire body in a milky-white glow.

Countless streams of pure energy then gathered like a tide toward the point where the Ice Empress had pierced him.

The tension in Huo Yuhao's face eased, and the agonizing pain immediately subsided considerably.

The Ice Empress's astonished voice reached Huo Yuhao's mind. "Yuhao, this pill of yours truly is extraordinary. Such rich, gentle energy is indeed immensely beneficial for Spirit Bone fusion."

Huo Yuhao grinned. "One of humanity's greatest inventions is being able to take pills while cultivating!"

Within the Spiritual Space, Snow Empress and the Ice Empress's consciousnesses both froze for a moment before they could not help but sigh. "Human wisdom truly is endless!"

The Ice Empress's four-hundred-thousand-year spine bone began to fuse.

During this process, Huo Yuhao could still feel intense pain, but overall, it remained within his tolerance.

He secretly counted himself fortunate.

Good thing he had the foresight to exchange for the Bone Fusion Pill.

Otherwise, this fusion would have been absolute torture!

Huo Yuhao had never agreed with the saying, "Only by enduring the bitterest hardships can one rise above others."

He felt that a saying from the internet in his previous life made far more sense: "Suffering is simply suffering. It is not worthy of praise, nor does it bring success. Tempering one's will only happens because suffering cannot be avoided."

If a better life was available, what idiot would choose to enjoy suffering?

A masochist? Or a lunatic?

In the end, the idea that "suffering is precious" was merely a lie used by those enjoying a good life to manipulate people at the bottom.

The Ice Empress's transformation and fusion of Huo Yuhao's spine bone proceeded very smoothly. Her immense strength of nearly four hundred thousand years nourished Huo Yuhao's body once again, strengthening every aspect of him.

After an unknown amount of time, the slight twitching on Huo Yuhao's face caused by pain gradually eased and became calm.

A lustrous layer of white light flashed across his body's surface, followed by a flicker of jade-green radiance flowing through his body.

After the dual remaking by Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao's physical body had completely undergone a rebirth.

If an ordinary Soul Master's body was merely a piece of wood,

then Huo Yuhao's body had now become as tough as steel!

At last, the Soul Power fluctuations around Huo Yuhao gradually faded.

His eyes suddenly snapped open, and two flashes of jade light vanished in an instant.

Then, a golden figure quietly stepped out from Huo Yuhao's body.

It was his second martial soul, the Drunken Sword Immortal!

One, two, three, four—four blood-red Spirit Rings emerged in succession, and a terrifying aura like that of a savage Fierce Beast suddenly erupted!

He had finally broken through to Soul Ancestor!

Having fused with Snow Empress and the Ice Empress's Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones, his Soul Power had been pushed straight to level 47 the moment he entered the Soul Ancestor realm!

Compared to that miserable little simp from the original story, this was what the real Huo Gua should be called!

Excitement filled Huo Yuhao's eyes.

He lightly clenched his fists, and an overwhelming sense of strength immediately burst from within and spread through his entire body.

Unlike the clear, ethereal sensation after fusing Snow Empress's Spirit Ring, the Ice Empress's power was clearly far more aggressive.

This fierce, savage feeling made Huo Yuhao feel that his strength and physical toughness were likely even more outrageous than those of attack- and defense-type Battle Soul Masters with high-quality martial souls at the same level!
