Transmigrating to Douluo: Bones Shattered, Reassembled, and Replaced, So Painful!

Su Hui's consciousness returned to reality from his Sea of Consciousness, his heart hammering against his chest like a war drum.

It was done!

The Ice Empress had truly agreed!

That peerless beast who reigned supreme over the Frozen Tundra of the Far North, a creature even Titled Douluo would detour to avoid, was now willing to join his God-Making Project and sacrifice herself to him!

This meant he had taken a massive stride toward that ultimate goal—ascending to godhood and achieving eternal life.

"Hey, stop spacing out. You can let me go now."

The cold, clear female voice in his mind yanked Su Hui back from his ecstasy.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging emotions.

His consciousness returned fully to his physical body.

He immediately loosened the Silkworm Slough that had been enveloping the Ice Empress.

The Silkworm Slough transformed into a gentle white light, falling back into his palm.

The moment the restraints were lifted, a biting chill rushed toward him.

"Finally, freedom!"

Su Hui was finally able to see the Ice Empress's true form in its entirety.

It was a slender, majestic Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

Her entire body was a fusion of clear ice-blue and deep emerald-green, as if carved from a single piece of ten-thousand-year cold crystal.

The surface of her body was covered in neatly arranged hexagonal diamond-like scales, sharp-edged and cold to the touch, reflecting a frigid light in overlapping layers.

A biting, bone-chilling mist of extreme cold seeped from the gaps between her scales, shrouding her in a hazy veil of frost.

The contours of her scorpion head were sharp and exquisite, and the pair of hexagonal, crystal-yellow eyes embedded within shone like precious yellow diamonds; a single cold glance was enough to radiate an intimidating majesty.

Her mouthparts were a bright silver, and every subtle movement sparked with a razor-sharp, icy glint.

The pair of thick, long, giant scorpion claws before her were covered in intricate ice-crystal patterns, their tips gleaming with a sharpness that seemed capable of crushing anything in the world.

Six slender, resilient legs supported her entire frame, their lines fluid and clean, also covered in protruding crystal armor.

Her scorpion tail was particularly unique, consisting of only five segments that tapered from base to tip, the entire structure a translucent, jade-like emerald.

The hook at the end was incredibly sharp, like a blade forged from solid ice.

This was the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion—the true hegemon of the Frozen Tundra of the Far North, her aura cold and aloof, her immense pressure weighing down like a mountain!

"Seen enough?"

There was a hint of chill in the Ice Empress's voice.

"If you are ready, then accept my sacrifice."

"Your body cannot withstand the entirety of my power, so I will seal away the majority of my origin."

She paused, her tone shifting to one of genuine seriousness, "But before that, you must first fuse with my torso bone; it will elevate your physical constitution to a level capable of bearing my spirit ring."

"This process is excruciatingly painful. If you lack extraordinary endurance, you will not survive it."

"Kid, there is still time to give up."

The Ice Empress reminded him with a touch of goodwill.

Su Hui grinned and raised his arms.

"Bring it on."

Seeing this, the Ice Empress's gaze toward Su Hui held a hint of admiration.

She nodded her scorpion head, then suddenly asked, "After I sacrifice myself, I will become your third spirit ring?"

"My second spirit ring," Su Hui corrected, shaking his head.

"Hm?"

The Ice Empress's form faltered slightly.

She clearly remembered Su Hui's spirit ring configuration—a purple first ring and a purple second ring.

He already had a second spirit ring; how could he have an empty slot?

"You already have a second spirit ring," she said, her tone laced with confusion.

"As for that, I'll take care of it."

Once Su Hui finished speaking, he performed an action that left the Ice Empress even more bewildered.

The Silver Dragon King Martial Soul manifested behind him, two purple spirit rings circling it.

At the same time, the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in his palm at his summons.

The spear shaft was long and sharp, the embedded water-elemental gemstone glowing with a deep blue light.

He gripped the shaft with one hand, reversed the tip, and without a moment's hesitation, plunged it directly into his second spirit ring.

The blue light of the water-elemental gemstone erupted in a blinding flash.

"Crack!"

The second spirit ring shattered in response, dissolving into countless purple specks that drifted away and vanished completely into the air.

The Ice Empress's crystal-yellow eyes constricted sharply.

Destroying one's own spirit ring?

In her hundreds of thousands of years of life, she had never heard of such a thing.

Once a spirit ring is absorbed, it binds to the origin of the martial soul; the consequence of forcibly stripping it away is either severe injury or the total collapse of the martial soul.

Yet, with that single strike of Su Hui's spear, his second spirit ring shattered and dissipated, and he didn't even knit his brows, as if he had merely trimmed away a redundant fingernail.

"This Silver Dragon Spear possesses the ability to refine spirit rings."

Su Hui noticed the Ice Empress's astonishment and weighed the long spear in his hand as he explained.

"It provides a one-time opportunity to wash away a specific attribute of an already absorbed spirit ring, freeing up a slot to accommodate a new one."

He retracted the Silver Dragon Spear and looked toward the Ice Empress, his tone brimming with irrepressible excitement and certainty.

"Everything is ready now."

"Come on, Ice Empress, I'm prepared!"

"You... really are a freak."

The moment the Ice Empress's words fell, she didn't even leave a gap for Su Hui to respond.

A force of extreme cold surged into his body.

"Ugh!!!"

Su Hui's eyes widened instantly, and veins began to bulge and spread from the corners of his eyes!

It was a torrent of power far exceeding his limits, as if the ten-thousand-year glaciers of the entire Far North Ice Plains had detonated within his body.

His body swelled, on the verge of bursting.

His internal organs were crushed and pulverized.

The blood vessels beneath his skin popped one after another, and blood gushed out from every part of his body.

"Crack, crack, crack!!!"

A series of crisp sounds of bone displacement erupted from Su Hui's spine.

Pain!

It was fucking painful!

The Ice Empress Torso Bone was embedding itself along his spine, inch by inch.

The sensation was like having an entire frozen chain nailed alive into his bone marrow, then hammered home, section by section.

Before his blood could even seep out, it was frozen into dark red ice crystals.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, with icy blue light shining through every fissure.

"Don't faint."

The Ice Empress's voice exploded in his mind.

"If you pass out, all previous efforts will be wasted. Your body will be consumed by the backlash of my origin and frozen into an ice sculpture that even a Titled Douluo couldn't shatter."

"Who... who said I was going to faint..."

Su Hui gritted his teeth, squeezing the words out through the gaps.

He could feel his internal organs spasming; his heart and lungs felt as if someone had grabbed them and given them a twist.

The fusion path of the torso bone had advanced to his thoracic vertebrae.

For every half-inch it ascended, his body temperature plummeted.

He forced himself to think of something else.

Like dominating the continent in the future! Dominating the God Realm!

Or thinking about the gentle embrace of beauties!

Thinking about... well, the pain simply couldn't be distracted away!

"Boom—"

The torso bone pushed into the middle of his thoracic vertebrae.

A source of extreme cold spread outward along his ribs, freezing his entire meridian system into a fragile web of ice.

A thin layer of frost already covered the surface of Su Hui's body.

His eyelashes and eyebrows had turned completely white.

Even the breath he exhaled formed tiny ice beads at his lips.

The Ice Empress remained silent for a moment.

Choosing Su Hui had been a gamble on her part.

Betting that the "God-Making Project" he kept harping on wasn't just empty talk, betting that he could truly survive this ordeal.

It seems now, at the very least, this kid has a spine of steel.

"Third thoracic vertebra in position."

The voice of Ice Empress remained cold and detached, yet it held a trace of softening that was incredibly difficult to detect.

"Next is the spinal column; this part will be the most painful."

"Do it."

Su Hui's reply was but a single word.

When his vertebrae shattered, he finally couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

It felt as if his spine were being chiseled through from the inside by ice picks, his bone marrow forcibly extracted and replaced with the Extreme Cold Crystal Marrow condensed from the very essence of Ice Empress.

This substance was even purer than Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice; even a speck the size of a needle tip would be enough to freeze an entire lake solid.

And now, this crystal marrow was seeping along his spine and permeating his entire body.

Amidst his blurring consciousness, he heard the final words of Ice Empress.

"Kid, it's going to be very painful from here on out—don't you dare die."
