The Divine Origin Realm and the Ice God's descent

Huo Yuhao was well aware of the vast difference between the Spirit Domain Realm and the Divine Origin Realm.

Even at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm, the accumulation required to break through to the Divine Origin Realm is enormous and cannot be achieved overnight.

That was not just a quantitative change in Divine Power, but a qualitative leap. In fact, this qualitative change was far more dramatic than the leaps between the previous Spiritual Power Realm.

That is a leap from "spirit" to "god," which requires the most fundamental transformation of Divine Power itself, just like iron ore needs to be refined into steel, which requires more than just a little bit of heat.

If one accumulates experience step by step, very few Limit Douluo can reach that level. Among the older generation of this era, only Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming, two overpowered individuals in the original work, reached the Divine Origin Realm; the others are still unknown.

However, for Huo Yuhao, who had already broken through once, this path was one he had already traversed, so he no longer needed to explore it from scratch.

What he lacked was not experience, nor an understanding of the essence of the Divine Origin Realm, but rather an opportunity.

He had broken through that level before, and even now that Re-Cultivation, the imprint left by his Divine Consciousness still remains in his Spiritual Origin. Given the right opportunity, he can use it to break through!

Now, the Divine Power of someone at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm has increased slightly, indicating that the barrier of the Divine Origin Realm has loosened. This is an opportunity.

"Xue'er, temporarily weaken the connection of Soul Power and strengthen the connection at the spiritual level to aid my cultivation!"

Huo Yuhao transmitted this thought with his Divine Power, and then multitasked with his mind, sinking a part of his consciousness into the depths of his Spiritual Sea to begin activating the Divine Consciousness imprint he had left behind.

Upon hearing this, Snow Empress did not hesitate. Knowing that Huo Yuhao had reached a critical moment, she immediately reduced the fusion at the level of Soul Power and instead Ultimate the connection at the level of spirit.

The Snow Empress's Divine Consciousness and Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Consciousness intertwined, forming a long, icy blue river. The transformed Divine Consciousness further enhanced Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Consciousness.

The strong first will drive the strong later.

Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity, activating the Divine Consciousness imprint while also breaking the seal on the Fire Dragon King's origin.

He had only recently reached the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm, and his accumulated strength was still insufficient. If he were to attempt a breakthrough directly, he might experience a lack of sustained power.

But that's okay. If we don't have enough to accumulate, we can make up for it by absorbing other things.

Douluo's Devouring is the Great Dao, the protagonist's certification, no deception.

As the Fire Dragon King's essence was unlocked, it was as if Demigod had bestowed a blessing upon him. A vast Spiritual Origin surged into Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, and an even larger amount of Soul Power was about to flow into Huo Yuhao's limbs and bones. However, Huo Yuhao temporarily sealed and stopped the influx of Soul Power, intending to absorb it later.

Now, focus on Divine Power.

The Divine Power at the Spirit Domain Realm level from the Fire Dragon King's Spiritual Origin surged into Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, instantly causing his Spiritual Soul Core to revel and frantically refine this power.

With the addition of this new force, combined with the Divine Consciousness imprint in his Spiritual Sea, Huo Yuhao's Divine Power finally underwent a qualitative change.

The Spiritual Soul Core floated in the center of the vast Spiritual Sea. At first, it only trembled slightly, then its rotation speed increased sharply, and its light changed from gold to silver-white, then from silver-white to colorless and transparent, and finally transformed into a crystal-clear crystal, which floated in the very center of the Spiritual Sea.

With a thought, Huo Yuhao shifted his consciousness to his Spiritual Soul Core. The next moment, the Spiritual Soul Core seemed to explode, bursting forth with intense light. Within the light, a small golden figure slowly emerged, gracefully standing in the center of his Spiritual Sea.

The tiny figure was only three inches tall, its entire body shimmering with golden light, its features clearly discernible—it was none other than Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao, shrunk countless times in size.

He clenched his fist, a smile playing on his lips.

At this point, the Spiritual Soul Core can perhaps no longer be called Soul Core.

It can be called the Divine Core, and it is also Huo Yuhao's Divine Consciousness entity.

If something unexpected happens to his body, as long as he can escape, Huo Yuhao will not die.

After the transformation of his Spiritual Soul Core, Huo Yuhao's originally golden Spiritual Sea shone with a crystal-clear luster. It was as if a century had passed, or as if it were an instant, and Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea expanded a hundredfold.

The Divine Power that originally filled the entire Spiritual Sea is now reduced to a thin layer, but the strength of Huo Yuhao's Divine Power has undergone a dramatic change compared to before.

The Divine Origin Realm: Spiritual Sense Transforming into God, the Primal Beginning Formed. Spiritual Consciousness transforms into Primordial Spirit, and Divine Power has been transformed into the Power of Primal Spirit. This is the world of gods, where one's will reaches the heavens and the earth!

The moment his Divine Consciousness coalesced, an Formless spiritual pressure erupted from Huo Yuhao's body, sweeping outwards like a hurricane.

Ripples spread across the flat ground beneath their feet, and their Divine Power transformed into a surging ocean of light, expanding outwards in layers. For Snow Empress, this had no effect, but Alba and Ye Weiyang felt it quite differently. A mental pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on their minds, causing both of them to slightly change their expressions.

"Divine Consciousness ----" Alba looked at Huo Yuhao with envy.

That was the realm he had been striving for.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light appearing and disappearing deep within his pupils. The overwhelming spiritual pressure also receded into his body, and the Undead Plane returned to peace.

Snow Empress looked at him gently, "Would you like to rest for a while and stabilize your cultivation level?"

"It's alright. For me, it's just returning to this level. Let's continue."

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

For him, the Divine Power of the Divine Origin Realm was the easiest part to break through at the God Rank level, and he didn't need much time to adapt; he mastered it quickly.

Upon hearing this, Snow Empress nodded slightly and began to integrate with Huo Yuhao in various aspects once again.

As their Divine Consciousness merged, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but mentally complain.

This time, we've truly become kindred spirits.

Because Huo Yuhao's Divine Power had reached the same level as hers, Snow Empress gained another insight during this fusion. When their Divine Consciousness intersected, it was no longer a one-sided guidance of Huo Yuhao's Divine Power growth, but a resonance between equals. If this fusion could be maintained for a long time, the rate at which their Divine Power grew would surely surpass that of their individual arduous cultivation.

Considering this state, their cultivation speed in terms of Soul Power doubled. Snow Empress said softly, "Yuhao, it seems we'll have to cultivate together more often from now on."

If their Soul Power is good and even helps with the growth of their Divine Consciousness, then it's obviously better to cultivate together.

Yes, this is for spiritual practice.

Hearing Snow Empress's somewhat reserved words, Huo Yuhao snapped out of his reverie and smiled, "Alright, I'll go with you."

While smiling outwardly, Huo Yuhao's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Could this be considered an accidental discovery that led to the creation of a rudimentary form of dual cultivation? And a legitimate form at that.

That's not bad.

However, the greatest benefit of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is clearly not these.

He composed himself and brought his attention back to the main topic.

"Xue'er, we've basically completed the fusion at the Divine Consciousness level. Next—" Huo Yuhao paused, "It's time to try the Martial Soul Fusion."

Snow Empress nodded slightly.

The two simultaneously released their Martial Soul. Behind Huo Yuhao, the phantom of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul appeared. Behind the Snow Empress, however, was the phantom of her true form—an Heavenly Snow Woman with long, flowing hair and a flowing skirt, aloof and noble, as if she were a god who had emerged from the ancient ice plains.

As soon as the two Martial Soul appeared, they resonated strongly with the Ice God Twin-Stemmed Lotus that they had absorbed.

A gigantic pillar of light suddenly appeared, enveloping the two figures. Within the pillar, their forms gradually blurred, overlapped, and finally merged into one.

As the light faded, a figure slowly emerged.

His appearance was largely based on Huo Yuhao, but incorporated the aloof charm of the Snow Empress. He had distinct facial features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, long ice-blue hair that cascaded down to his waist, and a golden God Ring appeared behind him.

The moment he appeared, the temperature in the Undead Plane plummeted, the sky changed dramatically, and snow fell silently as if Ice God had descended upon the world!

That hidden, yet powerful aura made Ye Weiyang and Alba realize what a true god was.

As users of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao naturally have the deepest understanding of their current state.

"This... is already a true deity."

Snow Empress's consciousness was somewhat astonished.

Needless to say, their Divine Consciousness are not the only thing flowing through their bodies now; it is not Soul Power, but rather—ice-attribute Divine Power!

The moment the fusion was complete, Snow Empress noticed that Huo Yuhao had begun to convert his Soul Power.

With their combined foundations and Huo Yuhao's understanding of Divine Power, the first Divine Power was successfully transformed, and after breaking through from zero to one, everything else followed naturally.

For Huo Yuhao, this can be seen as a rehearsal for his future cultivation of two lifetimes becoming one.

For Snow Empress, this was undoubtedly an opportunity. She directly experienced the process of Soul Power transforming into Divine Power from a first-person perspective and even personally experienced divine Divine Power. Afterwards, the difficulty for her to raise her Soul Power to the level of Divine Power was undoubtedly greatly reduced.

For a moment, the two paid less attention to the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and more to their understanding of Divine Power.

Exploring the path forward using Martial Soul Fusion Skill —they are the first in history to do so.

The two were immersed in their reflections until the Martial Soul Fusion was dispelled. When their eyes met, Huo Yuhao still had a touch of emotion in his eyes.

This harvest can only be described as abundant.

"Let's go, it's time to leave."

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and sent Alba back to the Demon Plane, then left the Undead Plane with Snow Empress and Ye Weiyang.

Back home, Snow Empress made various arrangements for Ye Weiyang. Ye Weiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't encounter any difficulties. It seemed that Snow Empress's relationship with Huo Yuhao was not a secret, and she should not be silenced.

This also aroused Ye Weiyang's curiosity about Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao's situation.

The Snow Empress Pagoda Master hasn't been tempted for so many years, so who exactly is this Huo Yuhao, that he could possibly steal away their Empress of the Extreme North?

Unaware of Ye Weiyang's thoughts, Huo Yuhao returned home and released the Fire Dragon King's Soul Power, gradually absorbing it, his body radiating the aura of Ultimate Fire.

The three Soul Core have already been condensed. Soul Power cultivation now focuses on accumulation, and there are no bottlenecks to speak of. It's fine to speed up the process.

After Snow Empress finished instructing Ye Weiyang, she turned around and saw his actions, but did not go forward to disturb him.

Although dual cultivation is faster, Huo Yuhao is currently absorbing the Fire Dragon King's essence, which is not suitable for their fusion state of Ultimate Ice Soul Power. Let's talk about it later.

"Now that I think about it, looking at Yuhao now, besides the emotional connection, there's an added, inexplicable attraction—is it a mutual attraction stemming from the Martial Soul Origin?"

Snow Empress thought to herself.

It's no wonder that most owners of Martial Soul Fusion Skill are so close. Martial Soul have an attraction to each other, which is equivalent to having maximum innate affinity. It's natural that their relationship gets better and better as they spend time together.

However, if they truly dislike each other, this affinity seems to have limited effect.

Although Snow Empress had never met any users of Martial Soul Fusion Skill who hated each other...

After all, this is the Douluo Continent!

Recently, Gu Yuena felt that something was wrong.

Ever since Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress led a group to the Undead Plane, the two of them have been spending more time together.

That would have been fine, but the key point was that Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress each carried the other's aura, and it was getting stronger and stronger, which made Gu Yuena suspect that someone was preparing to make a move.

Isn't this blatant disrespect towards her a bit? Or perhaps she's mistaken?

"No." Gu Yuena put down her teacup, her eyes narrowing slightly. "I need to at least find out what they're doing."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yuena used her trump card directly—using her own Reverse Scale to spy on Huo Yuhao's life.

Well, she doesn't usually use such methods, but there are always times when it's necessary, such as for Huo Yuhao's safety.

Now is the time to act.

As Gu Yuena communicated with Reverse Scale, the scene of Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress "cultivating together" came into view, and she realized that she had been caught red-handed.

In the scene, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing through space, looking directly at her.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress seemed to say something, and the two stopped cultivating.

A surge of Power of Space appeared, and Huo Yuhao's figure materialized before her.

Looking at Huo Yuhao in front of her, Gu Yuena tilted her head in confusion, her silver hair swaying slightly, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Yuhao, is something the matter?"

Don't think you can get away with being cute.

Huo Yuhao looked at her helplessly, then gently pinched her cheek. "I knew before that you could use your Reverse Scale to spy on me, but I didn't say anything. Don't think I didn't know."

Gu Yuena blinked. "Yuhao, you shouldn't have been able to detect this with your previous Divine Power, right? Did Old Yi or Snow Empress tell you?"

She was confident in her methods.

"Does that have anything to do with the present?" Huo Yuhao sighed, reached out and pulled her into his arms, ruffling her silver hair with his other hand. "You're curious about what Snow Empress and I have been doing lately, right? We've been cultivating using Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"I've already seen it." Gu Yuena recalled what she had just witnessed. "I didn't expect that your Martial Soul could fuse."

"It's the effect of the Ice God Twin-Stemmed Lotus."

Huo Yuhao explained, which made Gu Yuena feel a little envious.

In a sense, the Extreme North is the starting point for Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress. The Ice God Twin-Stemmed Lotus, born in the Extreme North, gave the two Martial Soul Fusion Skill —there's always a romantic feeling of a match made in heaven.

"Yuhao, could we give this a try?" Gu Yuena for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

She and Huo Yuhao have many things in common, and their Martial Soul are indeed connected.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought of the trinity of Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and Huo Yuhao in the original novel— the Purple-Gold Butterfly Dragon Transformation —and felt somewhat strange.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao was able to merge with Wang Qiu'er, who had the Golden Dragon Martial Soul as her manifestation. Either Tang San did it, or it means that there is indeed something they are compatible with.

If it were Gu Yuena and him—that's not necessarily true.

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said softly, "If you'd like, we can look into it later, but it will have to be after the meeting with the Federation."

After confirming that they would discuss the matter with the Federation, the two sides contacted each other and finally set the meeting for today.
