Volume 1: Tian Meng Bing Can Chapter 43: Fusion, The Extreme Painful Trial (Part 2)

  That was truly a world of ice and fire! One moment it was cold enough to make him shiver, the next it was hot enough to evaporate all the ice beads on his body. The blood in his body began to surge like the tide. In the extreme cold, he seemed to be frozen solid, but in the extreme heat, his blood boiled and tiny beads of blood seeped out through his skin.

  From extreme cold to extreme heat, and then from extreme heat to extreme cold, the drastic changes in body temperature were as if they were smelting Ho Yu's body. Despite his strong willpower, his consciousness began to hallucinate. Unlike the pure intense pain before, this feeling of being tossed high up and then heavily dropped was even more unbearable.

  It can be said that Huo Yuhao basically can be considered one of the strongest in human Soul Master history to bear the pain of fusion with soul bones. One reason is because his cultivation is too low, and another is naturally due to the high grade of the soul bone he fused with.

  Even if Bingdi is under full control, its soul bone still exists for over 30 million years! Even if most of its power is sealed within the soul bone and not released, it would still have a huge impact on Huo Yuhao, who is still in his developmental stage.

  Huò Yǔhào's mind had already begun to become somewhat muddled, his strong willpower unable to continue resisting such intense pain. Just at this moment, the spiritual energy of Tiān Mèng Bīngcán surged in once again, as if calling out to him and making him regain his clarity, while also protecting his spiritual foundation and slightly reducing the pain.

  Tian Meng Bing Xiang hoped that Huo Yu Hao's willpower would be tempered, but he absolutely wouldn't watch him collapse. When he felt Huo Yu Hao was about to reach his limit, he immediately lent a hand, giving him some leeway.

  Although Huo Yu Hao was tortured to the point of unbearable pain, Tian Meng's method immediately made him feel a sharp sensation, relieving him from extreme agony. Although the alternating chills and fever still lingered, he felt much better at this moment. After calming down, his spiritual energy, which had almost dissipated, suddenly recondensed.

  When his spiritual power was almost condensed, Tian Meng Bingshen's protection disappeared again, and extreme pain came back.

  Huo Yu Hao let out a mournful cry in his heart, Tian Meng Ge, are you playing me?

  Time was very long, and Huo Yu Hao didn't even have the possibility of thinking. Every time his spirit was about to collapse, Tian Meng would appear in time to help him relieve himself to a certain extent. Relatively speaking, it was easier for Huo Yu Hao to bear.

  If Tiān Mèng Bīng Cán strikes as soon as he comes up, it will reduce the suffering he endures. However, the suffering remains at a certain level, and he may not necessarily collapse. By that time, Tiān Mèng Bīng Cán might also be helpless. Even if he can hold on, maintaining his spirit at a high frequency for a long time won't do him any good either.

  But now it's different, although the suffering he endures is stronger, every time Tian Mengbing takes action, it's equivalent to giving him a buffer time, which makes him feel much more comfortable. At least during this buffer time, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power can recover to some extent.

  After going back and forth several times, Huo Yuhao finally understood that his Skydream Ice Worm was using this opportunity to temper his willpower! If it were an ordinary person, they would probably keep expecting the Skydream Ice Worm's help. But Huo Yuhao was different. A year of cultivation at Shrek Academy had taught him to have a more courageous mindset in the face of setbacks. He knew very clearly that the more he paid during his cultivation, the greater the rewards he would receive.

  With the protection of Tian Meng Ice Silkworm, although it brought him a sense of security, it also made his confidence in himself stronger. When he was enduring pain, he became even more determined. To the point where the time interval between Tian Meng Ice Silkworm's actions began to grow longer and longer. Huo Yu Hao's will was also becoming increasingly firm.

  This discovery made Tian Meng Bing Xian and Bing Di both extremely shocked, for the first time, these two top-notch Soul Beast realms' existences felt admiration for this small human, Huo Yu Hao. To endure such suffering, even they, as top-notch Soul Beasts, might not dare say they could hold on. Yet Huo Yu Hao managed to hold on, with Tian Meng Bing Xian's limited help, he actually persisted all the way through.

  From daylight to night, and from night back to daylight. The emerald green glow on Huo Yu's body grew stronger and stronger, while the alternating white and red colors of his skin began to weaken. However, the vital energy within him was now far, far more powerful than it had been at first.

  Although the Ice Emperor Scorpion only separated a very small part of its energy to merge with Hao Yu's blood, it was still an extremely nourishing substance for him. That was the original power of one of the three great heavenly kings of the Extreme North, who had cultivated for nearly 400,000 years!

  Huò Yǔhào's muscles, bones, and internal organs all began to change in this nourishment. Even though the soul bone did not include the limbs and head, it was also comprehensively improving Huò Yǔhào's physical quality in this nourishment. As his physical quality improved, the pain finally started to decrease gradually from its peak value.

  Now, Tian Meng Bing Xian no longer needs to take action, and Huo Yu Hao can withstand the alternating cold and heat pain with his own willpower. He can even feel that his Qi and blood are becoming stronger, and his body is becoming more resilient. Because his soul power is currently at the 20th level bottleneck, he cannot yet determine how much his soul power has increased. However, without a doubt, even if Bing Xian sealed the power of the soul bone, with his current low-level soul power cultivation, the increase in amplitude will not be small, and an increase of one or two levels of soul power should be no problem at all.

  "Yuhao, be careful. The fusion of the soul and bone is almost complete. Only the final process of fully merging with your own skeleton remains. I will seal the power of the soul bone in your marrow, and it will be slowly absorbed by you through a silent transformation. This last fusion process may be even more painful than before. You must persevere. Even Tianmeng may not be able to help you with this. It will probably take about an hour. If you can get through it, you will possess the soul bone I have brought for you."

  The Ice Emperor's voice became softer, and its address to Huo Yu Hao also changed. Its voice revealed fatigue. After all, it was merging its own body with Huo Yu Hao! It was equivalent to disassembling its own skeleton and then fusing it into Huo Yu Hao's body. Although its cultivation was strong, the pain it endured would not be less than Huo Yu Hao's. However, its willpower, cultivated for tens of thousands of years, was far beyond what Huo Yu Hao could compare to.

  Huò Yǔhào took a deep breath, enduring the pain, he could no longer speak. All he could do now was to convey an unyielding and firm conviction to Bīng Dì.

  Can Tian Meng Bing really not protect the spiritual sea of Huo Yu Hao? The answer is certainly no. The reason why the Ice Emperor said so was to make Huo Yu Hao's willpower take another step forward, and only when there is no retreat can the potential be maximally stimulated.

  However, when the last wave of pain from the fusion of soul and bone arrived, just as it was about to begin, Huo Yu's body suddenly bounced up, and his spiritual sea surged violently, almost collapsing in an instant.

  He endured the pain, he also endured the alternating chills and fever. But at this moment, what he was suffering from was a kind of almost unbearable torture, that is, itching.

  At the moment when Bingdi started to move, Huo Yuhao only felt that every part of his body was transmitting intense itching, as if thousands of ants were quickly crawling on his blood vessels and bones. The itchiness had reached his bones, and it was everywhere.

  At that moment, his only thought was to tear his body apart and then rub it hard to stop the pain.

  Huò Yǔhào's body was violently **shaking and trembling, completely out of control. The intense pain caused his entire skeleton to crackle with a popping sound.

  The heavenly dream of the ice silkworm is waiting in array, making preparations to strike at any moment. Once a sign of collapse appears on the spiritual sea, it will take action without hesitation.

  The Ice Emperor was well aware that at this moment, he was also suffering the same pain as Huo Yuhao, and even his spiritual power was trembling violently. It could be imagined how intense this pain was. Only when the Ice Emperor's soul bone had completely merged with Huo Yuhao would it have completed its transformation into the foundation of Huo Yuhao's body. Becoming Huo Yuhao's martial soul and soul ring was not difficult, but what was difficult was to preserve his complete consciousness and wisdom.

  On Yidai's side, Tian Meng Bingcang doesn't need to worry, what he's worried about is that Huo Yu Hao can't hold on!

  Huo Yu's golden spiritual sea was surging violently, sometimes trembling and sometimes like a stormy wave crashing against the shore. The emerald green skeleton on his body gradually began to transform into dark green, then back to emerald green again. It was in this process of constant transformation and fusion that the pain was also the most intense.

  Itchy, it's killing me. Huo Yu Hao really felt like he couldn't hold on anymore. This inhuman pain was truly much more intense than the previous two torments!

  Finally, Huo Yu Hao's spiritual sea began to show cracks, and as these cracks gradually grew larger, they would eventually burst forth with a loud noise. When it shattered completely, it would also be the moment of Huo Yu Hao's brain death.

  Tian Meng Bing's hands moved without hesitation, and a dense golden light rapidly surged towards Huo Yu Hao's spiritual sea.

  But at this moment, in the consciousness of Tian Meng Bing Xian, a nearly hysterical cry suddenly rang out from Huo Yu Hao, "Don't mind me, I can do it, I can do it!"

  The sky dream ice silkworm stagnated for a moment, it felt the stubbornness of Huo Yu Hao, and this loud shout was like blowing the horn of Huo Yu Hao's counterattack. The cracks that were densely covered in the sea of spirit suddenly began to heal miraculously.

  Xiao Yu Hao succeeded with what kind of power? Or did he really succeed? Guess it.
