The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could do nothing but watch it all unfold before his eyes.
Just then, the Snow Empress and Du Busi acted at the same time.
The Snow Empress raised her delicate hand, and the purest ice elemental power in the world gathered madly in her palm.
The ice elemental power gathering in her palm gradually condensed into streams of pure white light, which the Snow Empress infused into Huo Yuhao's body.
Two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red Soul Rings rose beneath Du Busi's feet, and a golden figure appeared behind him.
A dense surge of Soul Power entered Huo Yuhao's body, protecting his internal organs.
Even so, Huo Yuhao was still enduring unimaginable pain.
His body was like a bleeding wound that simply would not stop, and his consciousness hovered repeatedly on the brink of death.
The secret Soul Bone method, the bone before the ring, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's help.
These were the things Huo Yuhao needed to fuse with the Ice Empress.
But now, he had none of the three.
The Ice Empress's power rampaged through his body, searching for the Spirit Eyes.
A moment later, emerald-green light burst from Huo Yuhao's eyes.
A vast force of spiritual power continually drew the Ice Empress in, guiding her into the Sea of Consciousness bit by bit.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's body seemed to have reached its limit.
Under the Ice Empress's impact, the meridians in his body kept swelling and contracting, as if they would explode at any moment.
Pain-pain beyond words.
At that moment, he felt as if he had been thrown into an iceberg, his body frozen into pieces.
Was this the consequence of forcing the fusion without the secret Soul Bone method, without absorbing the bone before the ring, and without the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's help?
Tian Meng, you big bug, why are you just watching?!
Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth and did his best to keep his consciousness half-awake.
Boom!
Just as Huo Yuhao's consciousness was about to sink into oblivion, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from his body.
An enormous golden phantom gradually emerged behind him.
The phantom looked remarkably like Huo Yuhao, only taller and more powerfully built.
Dazzling golden light flickered in its eyes.
A terrifying presence swept over them. Shock filled Du Busi's face. "He actually succeeded..."
"And it's a Gold-Grade Awakening as a two-ring Soul Master!"
He increased his Soul Power output, desperately protecting Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's body shook violently once again.
"Yuhao, leave the rest to me!" In his Sea of Consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally couldn't hold back and intervened.
Ice-blue light surged from the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, diverting that terrifying power.
Electrolux was absorbing the power that had entered Huo Yuhao's body, bit by bit.
"I've eaten my fill too, young friend. I shall lend you a hand!"
Gray light quietly rose, and Electrolux's figure appeared above the Sea of Consciousness.
"Settle down!"
As soon as he spoke, an invisible force suppressed the raging power.
At last, Huo Yuhao completely fused with the Ice Empress's Soul Ring.
A lifelike blood-red Soul Ring flickering with four golden patterns of light appeared beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
The chaotic presence around Huo Yuhao gradually calmed.
The next moment, his eyes closed, and he fell heavily onto the ice.
The golden phantom behind him also dissipated.
"Yuhao!"
Du Busi had only just taken a step when the Snow Empress reached Huo Yuhao.
She gently picked Huo Yuhao up. Looking at his pale face in her arms, she said with a heart full of pain, "Dad, thank you for your hard work."
The Snow Empress's voice was so soft that only she herself knew what she had said.
In the Sea of Consciousness.
The moment the Ice Empress opened her eyes, she was greeted by that huge, familiar bug face.
"Bingbing, you're finally awake!" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face lit up with excitement, and he spread his arms to pounce on the Ice Empress.
"Ah!"
Startled, the Ice Empress backed away again and again, and a layer of emerald-green ice instantly spread out.
Crack!
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was frozen into a giant popsicle.
Trapped inside, he wanted to cry but had no tears. "Bingbing, you've changed. Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo~"
"No matter how fierce you used to be, you never sealed me in ice the moment we met."
The Ice Empress folded her arms and snorted. "Hmph, my heart belongs to Yuhao and Xue'er now. Don't you come trying to cozy up to me."
Hearing this, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wept endless tears.
"Snow Empress, I, Tian Meng, am not finished with you!"
Not far away, Electrolux watched the familiar scene before him, a smile appearing on his face. "This familiar feeling is truly wonderful..."
The Ice Empress looked at Electrolux and exclaimed in surprise, "Old man, you too?!"
Electrolux smiled. "It's wonderful to see you all again."
Outside.
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body rapidly shrank, until all that remained was a small, emerald-green version of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
Without the slightest hesitation, the four-hundred-thousand-year-old torso bone surged into Huo Yuhao's body.
The fusion caused not a trace of pain. Instead, it made Huo Yuhao, lying in the Snow Empress's arms, feel much more at ease.
Seeing this, Du Busi exclaimed, "A four-hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone actually chose its master of its own accord?!"
The Snow Empress gave Du Busi a faint glance and said, "What's so surprising about that? Yuhao has already absorbed Bing'er. Fusing with one of Bing'er's Soul Bones after that is as easy as turning his hand."
Du Busi said nothing. He was simply envious.
There was no Soul Bone like this at all!
"Come with me. Let's find a suitable place to rest."
Holding Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress turned and left.
Du Busi followed close behind.
Several hours later.
The ice and snow palace.
Huo Yuhao's fingers twitched slightly, and his consciousness began to return.
A long-unheard "ding" sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind.
[Ding!] [Host detected intercepting the Ice Empress] [Rewards obtained: exclusive weapon Spear of Permafrost (improves as Soul Power Level rises), Water Dragon King's power, refined and enhanced version of the Ice Empress's skill pool] [Host detected winning the Snow Empress over] [Reward obtained: god-level self Martial Soul Fusion Skill (host must comprehend it independently; once successfully comprehended, it can be formed)]
Huo Yuhao's still somewhat groggy consciousness instantly became perfectly clear.
Holy crap!
System, you actually came back to life!
He hadn't heard the system's voice in months, and Huo Yuhao had thought it had kicked the bucket.
His gaze fell on the rewards for obtaining the Ice and Snow Empresses.
The exclusive weapon Spear of Permafrost, the Water Dragon King's power, the refined and enhanced version of the Ice Empress's skill pool, and a god-level self Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Huo Yuhao's heart began pounding involuntarily.
This is the legendary case of danger and opportunity going hand in hand!
But that also meant he would have to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well someday.
He couldn't possibly pass up the powers of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
If I successfully fuse with them...!
Things have come this far. I should wake up first.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw the Snow Empress's breathtakingly beautiful face.
The Snow Empress was sitting beside the ice bed, her long, pure white hair trailing to the floor. As she faced Huo Yuhao, her beautiful face bore an unwavering, undisguised tenderness.
