Martial Soul Possession

Huo Yuhao's bewildered expression didn't look fake.

Gu Yuena had directly tailored the perfect identity of an "ancient Dragon Clan descendant" for him, saving him the effort of making up a story.

With this identity, he might really be able to gain some benefits from Gu Yuena.

Perhaps he couldn't rescue the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm this time, but getting a piece of Gold of Life was definitely no problem.

Huo Yuhao, who was getting a bargain and still acting coy, deliberately furrowed his brow.

"Martial Soul Possession can awaken my bloodline? But... when I summon my Martial Soul, it doesn't seem any different from an ordinary dragon-type Martial Soul."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao's thoughts stirred, and a heavy dragon might instantly filled the entire space.

The phantom of the Ancestral Dragon Spirit slowly appeared behind him.

"That's it!"

A glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, and her purple eyes shone brilliantly.

"With bloodline pressure like this, your ancestor's bloodline may be even more powerful than the Dragon God's!"

Di Tian, standing nearby, was already gaping in shock. His body tensed instinctively, and his eyes were filled with reverence.

Even just summoning his Martial Soul made the dragon blood within Di Tian's body stir uncontrollably, instinctively urging him to bow in submission.

At that moment, Di Tian truly believed Gu Yuena's explanation.

With the Sovereign here, and now another lord with an ancestral bloodline, perhaps the fate of the Soul Beast Clan really could be changed in their hands!

Gu Yuena nodded gently, her gaze still fixed on Huo Yuhao, anticipation in her eyes. "Go ahead and use Martial Soul Possession. There's Gold of Life here, so nothing dangerous will happen."

Actually, Gu Yuena wasn't wrong.

Huo Yuhao could hardly be considered human anymore. The impure blood in his body had long since been expelled during his first medicinal bath.

What flowed through his body now was indeed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan.

Having just undergone a blood exchange, Huo Yuhao was now equivalent to a newborn dragon. His bloodline was still somewhat thin, and it would take time to build up before he could completely shed his former self and be reborn.

Perhaps Gu Yuena's suggestion was a way forward.

Using Martial Soul Possession to accelerate the transformation of his body by the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.

Huo Yuhao nodded to Gu Yuena.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

The phantom of the Ancestral Dragon behind him merged with his body. The instant Martial Soul Possession took effect, his short hair suddenly grew to his waist, each strand becoming even softer and silkier.

His deep-blue eyes turned dark and fathomless, and an extremely faint golden dragon-mark appeared at the corners of his eyes.

His face had already been handsome, but now its features grew even more refined.

His brows were pronounced but not sharp, his nose was high and straight, and his lips were clearly defined.

His body grew a few centimeters taller, and his build became even more well-proportioned and upright.

Most eye-catching of all were the two tiny dragon horns, each only about five centimeters long, growing from either side of his forehead.

At that moment, blood surged through Huo Yuhao's body, and the might radiating from him continued to rise.

"Just as I thought!"

Seeing the changes in Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena became even more convinced of her guess.

Huo Yuhao's future achievements would absolutely be no less than hers!

Gu Yuena didn't immediately ask Huo Yuhao to lead the Soul Beast Clan to revival.

Huo Yuhao had only just awakened his bloodline and learned of his identity. He felt no sense of belonging to the Soul Beast Clan.

Was he supposed to lead the Soul Beasts against the Asura God just because his bloodline was superior?

If she weren't half of the Dragon God, if she weren't the Silver Dragon King, and someone suddenly appeared and thrust such a heavy burden upon her, she'd send them flying with one swipe of her claw!

First, she needed to help Huo Yuhao, who had been born human, develop some sense of belonging to the Soul Beast Clan.

"Since you're currently living as a human Spirit Master, you'll probably have to return to the human world. Your level is too low, and you're still weak. If you encounter danger, you could easily perish."

Gu Yuena turned around and casually cut off a piece of Gold of Life from the stone, then handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"This is Gold of Life. It can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones. If your body is injured, it will rapidly heal your wounds."

The piece of Gold of Life Gu Yuena gave Huo Yuhao was as large as a shot put. Clearly, she was offering it in good faith.

"You must be relying on this to recover while you stay here, right?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the Gold of Life in his hand, then handed it back to Gu Yuena.

"I only need a small piece."

Gu Yuena smiled with satisfaction. "If my injuries could really be completely healed with this, I wouldn't have stayed here for so long. Take it. If you really want to thank me, then wait until you're strong enough to heal my injuries."

The injuries on Gu Yuena's body had been caused by the Asura God when he severely wounded her as she fled from the Divine Realm all those years ago.

They weren't merely flesh wounds, but the result of divine power's erosion.

Asura Divine Power contained the utmost aura of slaughter, judgment, and destruction. This power had settled into her wounds, constantly damaging her bodily functions and keeping her injuries from healing completely for hundreds of thousands of years.

So healing Gu Yuena was actually very simple: he only needed to drive out the Asura God's divine power.

Once Huo Yuhao grew stronger, he could use his own essence blood to help Gu Yuena forcibly drive out the Asura Divine Power.

But that would be a long time from now.

Seeing Huo Yuhao nod, Gu Yuena asked again, "Your cultivation seems to have reached a bottleneck. Did you come here this time to obtain a Soul Ring? Do you have a suitable target?"

"I have Twin Martial Souls. My First Martial Soul is my eyes, and it has the attributes of spirit, space, and time. I came this time to obtain a spirit-type Soul Ring."

Huo Yuhao knew his opportunity had come, but he couldn't state his purpose too plainly.

"My senior brother and I searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable Soul Beast."

"When that uncle and I came to this lake, a Soul Beast approached me on its own and said it wanted to sacrifice itself for me. But we were on our way to meet you, so I hadn't agreed yet."

As soon as he heard the key details—that they were at Lake of Life and a Soul Beast had approached Huo Yuhao of its own accord to offer a sacrifice—Di Tian's face darkened.

There was no need to say it. It had to be that Ice Silkworm!

It had always seemed to be asleep. Who would've thought it was deceiving them!

Gu Yuena naturally knew of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's existence. The pure origin Soul Power in its body was extremely rare.

With Gu Yuena's cultivation, she had no use for it, but to the other Ferocious Beasts who were only a few hundred thousand years old, it was a great tonic!

That pure origin Soul Power could be directly converted into their own Soul Power, saving them a great deal of cultivation time.

Having the Ice Silkworm sacrifice itself to Huo Yuhao, whose potential was immense and who could lead the Soul Beast Clan out of its predicament, would lay a solid foundation for him.

That, or keeping it trapped here for the other Soul Beasts to absorb and gain a little strength.

Between the two options, Gu Yuena knew which one to choose.

"Di Tian, go bring that Ice Silkworm here."

This was definitely Gu Yuena's wisest move yet!
