Second Martial Soul: Ice God

As the words fell, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm released his million-year origin aura without reservation.

That vast pressure, belonging to a million-year soul beast, spread like a tidal wave toward the depths of the Eternal Frozen Domain.

Unlike the cautious approach of the past, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was now fearless. The aura he radiated carried a divinity that even Ultimate Ice soul beasts would revere, instantly permeating the entire Eternal Frozen Domain.

Almost the moment the aura was released, a similarly terrifying aura of Ultimate Ice erupted from the depths of the Eternal Frozen Domain!

That aura was cold and arrogant, carrying the terrifying pressure of a four-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, like a sleeping emperor awakened, immediately locking onto the aura of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Crack—crack—

The hard, dark blue ice split into countless fine fissures. A jade-green streak of light shot out from the depths of the ice like lightning, appearing before Huo Yuhao in an instant.

It was a scorpion about three meters long, its entire body crystalline and jade-green, as if carved from the finest emerald. Its eight legs were slender and sharp, and the stinger on its tail was raised high, radiating a heart-stopping chill.

Most striking was the hook on its tail; as it swayed gently, the power of Ultimate Ice scattered, causing even the surrounding wind and snow to come to a standstill.

It was none other than one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the four-hundred-thousand-year Ultimate Ice soul beast, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, Ice Empress!

The Ice Empress's compound eyes locked firmly onto Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, filled with shock, disbelief, and a hint of unconcealable rage.

"Tian Meng! It's actually you?!" The Ice Empress's voice, laced with cold killing intent, exploded in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"You piece of trash, how dare you return to the Far North! I thought you were long dead; I never expected you to find a human host and cling to life until now!"

As she cursed, the Ice Empress's voice gradually trailed off, the shock in her compound eyes growing ever deeper.

She could clearly feel that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's aura was completely different from before.

Back then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had the cultivation of a million years but not a shred of combat power, like an empty shell, chased all over the Far North by soul beasts.

But now, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's aura was thick, complete, and even carried a faint divinity—a power that made even her heart tremble, something that the trashy ice silkworm of the past could never have possessed!

"What? Surprised, aren't you? Long time no see, Bingbing, brother has missed you to death!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in the Ice Empress's mind, carrying a hint of smugness.

"How have you been, Bingbing?"

"What on earth happened to you?" The Ice Empress stared fixedly at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within the Spiritual Sea, her voice full of suspicion.

"How could your origin become so complete? And the divinity on you... what exactly did you encounter?"

"That's not important." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reined in his smile, his tone turning solemn.

"Bingbing, I didn't come here today to reminisce. I came to offer you a heaven-sent opportunity—an opportunity that will allow you to break free from the shackles of soul beasts and truly step into the realm of gods."

Following this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told the Ice Empress the plan in full detail.

Using his million-year origin as the foundation and the Ice Empress's four-hundred-thousand-year Ultimate Ice origin as the core, they would forge a second martial soul of Ultimate Ice for Huo Yuhao. The Ice Empress would merge into Huo Yuhao's body in the form of a soul ring and soul bone, coexisting with him, sharing his life, and walking the path to godhood together.

"Absurd!" The Ice Empress was instantly enraged upon hearing this, the power of Ultimate Ice erupting instantly, causing the surrounding ice to shatter.

"Tian Meng, have you lost your mind? You want me to serve as a soul ring for a ten-year-old human brat? Have you been brainwashed by humans? When a soul beast sacrifices itself for a human, there is only death; what talk is there of becoming a god?"

As a four-hundred-thousand-year Ultimate Ice soul beast, she was a Heavenly King in the Far North, second only to one and above ten thousand. How could she willingly become a soul ring and soul bone for a ten-year-old human child? To her, this was nothing short of a fantasy and a supreme humiliation!

Just as the Ice Empress was in a rage, preparing to attack Huo Yuhao, a gentle yet supremely majestic female voice rang out quietly amidst the wind and snow.

"Bing'er, calm yourself."

The moment the words fell, the wind and snow throughout the entire Eternal Frozen Domain stilled. An aura, even more vast and cold than the Ice Empress's, slowly permeated the air.

Within the swirling snow, the figure of a woman in a long white dress quietly took shape.

She appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a peerless face and skin whiter than snow. A cascade of ice-blue hair fell to her waist, and her blue eyes were like the purest cold ice. She radiated no pressure, yet the entire Far North Ice Plains were under her control.

The ruler of the Far North, the head of the Three Heavenly Kings, the seven-hundred-thousand-year Ultimate Ice soul beast, the Heavenly Snow Woman, Snow Empress!

Seeing the Snow Empress appear, the Ice Empress's rage subsided by more than half: "Xue'er, why are you here?"

The Snow Empress nodded slightly, her gaze falling upon Huo Yuhao, a flicker of curiosity and inquiry in her blue eyes.

She could clearly feel that this youth harbored a destiny that made even her heart tremble, along with a faint divinity that caused her own origin to pulsate.

And just as the Snow Empress appeared, a sudden change occurred!

From the deepest part of the Far North, a dazzling ice-blue light suddenly broke through the shackles of the ten-thousand-year ice, shooting toward Huo Yuhao like a meteor!

It was a bead the size of a fist, ice-blue throughout, containing a frozen universe within. It radiated the vast, boundless origin power of the Ice God. Wherever it passed, even space was frozen, leaving behind fine, icy cracks.

This bead was the divine artifact left behind after the fall of the original Ice God—the Heart of the Ice God.

It contained the complete inheritance and origin power of the Ice God. For hundreds of thousands of years, it had remained in the depths of the Far North Ice Plains, absorbing the origin of Ultimate Ice from heaven and earth, and now, it had finally waited for its true master.

Before anyone could react, the Heart of the Ice God was already before Huo Yuhao. As if drawn by an ultimate attraction, it instantly transformed into a streak of light and merged directly into the center of Huo Yuhao's brow.

BOOM—!!!

A vast, boundless power of Ultimate Ice erupted within Huo Yuhao's body. The Heart of the Ice God merged into his Spiritual Sea, becoming one with his Spirit Eye martial soul and the Life Gold.

Information regarding the Ice God's inheritance flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

His meridians, bones, and flesh underwent a heaven-defying transformation under the nourishment of the Ice God's origin, and his original level 29 soul power began to surge at a terrifying speed!

In the Spiritual Sea, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared wide-eyed at the Heart of the Ice God that had merged into Huo Yuhao.

Electrolux, meanwhile, laughed heartily, his eyes full of realization: "Good! A truly great Sovereign! What a magnificent stroke!"

As for the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, they were frozen in place. They could clearly feel that what was hidden within that bead was the complete Ice God origin—a true divine inheritance!

That was the opportunity to become a god that they, as soul beasts, had dreamed of for hundreds of thousands of years, yet could never attain!

At this moment, Ice Empress looked at Huo Yuhao before her, observing the vast origin of the Ice God within his body, and finally understood what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had meant by "opportunity."

It was no empty promise; it was a tangible, reachable path to godhood!

She took a deep breath, the hesitation and anger in her eyes vanishing completely, replaced by intense excitement.

She looked toward Snow Empress, her eyes flickering with a hint of hesitation, but she spoke nonetheless: "Xue'er, I have decided. I am willing to sacrifice myself and merge into this young man's body. I want to see what the world of the gods is truly like."

Snow Empress looked at her without stopping her. She could sense that this young man's future was limitless.

By following him, Ice Empress might truly be able to escape the fate that prevented soul beasts from becoming gods.

The next second, the figure of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion transformed into a streak of emerald light, flying toward the center of Huo Yuhao's brow.

The 400,000-year-old origin of Ultimate Ice was released without reservation.

At this moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also released his million-year-old origin, assisting the power of Ice Empress as it merged into Huo Yuhao's body.

Holy light surged around Electrolux, firmly stabilizing Huo Yuhao's divine soul and meridians to ensure he would not be crushed by this terrifying power.

Meanwhile, the Heart of the Ice God emitted a gentle origin of the Ice God, guiding the power of Ice Empress to perfectly integrate with Huo Yuhao's body.

Without the perils described in the original records, the entire sacrifice process proceeded more smoothly than one could imagine.

Emerald light enveloped Huo Yuhao entirely. Behind him, his second martial soul slowly condensed and took shape.

It was a phantom of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, emerald from head to toe, yet under the nourishment of the Ice God's origin, it gradually underwent a transformation. The emerald hue faded, and a snow-white human silhouette slowly emerged—the image of a woman possessing immense divinity, her pure white dress adorned with emerald ice crystals. At first glance, she looked as if she had been cast from the same mold as the Snow Empress standing nearby.

A power of the Ice God, far surpassing Ultimate Ice, slowly radiated outward.

The Ice God Martial Soul had officially awakened!

The moment the last trace of emerald light merged into Huo Yuhao's body, the sacrifice of Ice Empress was successfully completed.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of ice-blue light shot from them, shattering the ten-thousand-year-old ice in front of him into powder.

His second martial soul, the Ice God Martial Soul, had awakened perfectly, and his first soul ring was a dazzling 400,000-year-old red soul ring. The blood-red ring rotated slowly, its four golden patterns signaling extraordinary strength!

Not only that, but with the Heart of the Ice God integrated into his body, he had also mastered the complete inheritance of the Ice God.

Under the fusion of the Ice God's origin and his ultimate spiritual power, his Spirit Eye martial soul and his Ice God Martial Soul showed signs of merging.

In the Spiritual Sea, the figure of Ice Empress slowly condensed. Looking at everything before her and feeling the life and Ice God origin she now shared with Huo Yuhao, a smile of relief appeared on her face.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, feeling the surging power of the Ice God within his body, sensing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Empress, and the smiling Electrolux in his Spiritual Sea, his eyes turning slightly red.

From this trip to the Far North, he had not only gained a second martial soul but had also obtained the inheritance of the Ice God, truly undergoing a rebirth.
