The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 4 Ultimate Fusion

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body, having lost its spiritual source, fell to the ground. Without the control of its spiritual source, the body immediately emitted an extremely terrifying ferocity.

"I'm freezing to death." Huo Zhanji shivered several times, his body trembling.

"Tianmeng, with his current physical condition, you think he can accept my power? Do you think that's possible?" The Ice Emperor's disdainful voice appeared in Huo Zhanji's mind.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled and said, "Ice Emperor, don't be so hasty. His current physical condition is indeed precarious, let alone your nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation. However, with you and me controlling him, the situation is different! Will we let him fail?"

Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, Ice Emperor hesitated and asked, "Are you confident?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "With our cooperation, we have at least a 90% chance of success. The remaining 10% depends on Zhanji. Let me introduce you. Zhanji, this is the Ice Emperor. This is Huo Zhanji, who possesses a mutated spiritual attribute double pupil martial soul. His second martial soul is an ice attribute frost dragon martial soul. You will be the one to integrate his first soul ring."

"Hello, Hyotei," Huo Zhanji said.

Hyotei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hello, I hope you can hold on, otherwise, it will all be for nothing, harming you and us as well."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "Ice Emperor, I will tell you the method of fusion, and then we can discuss it in more detail."

Not long after, Huo Zhanji heard the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion sigh and say, "If that's the case, then the chances are indeed very high. However, Zhanji's body is still a bit fragile, so the order of fusion must be changed. Since it's a Wisdom Soul Ring, then I need to transfer as much of my power as possible into his body."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "You mean, bone first, then soul, and then ring?"

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion said, "That's right. Following your method, you only have an 80% chance of success at most. You underestimate my power. My soul power is extremely domineering. Even if I restrain it and keep sealing it, there will still be some leakage. I'm afraid even Zhan Ji can't withstand this leakage. So, it's better to be careful."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone changed, and she said gently, "Bingbing, so you trust me this much. This will directly damage your body, leaving you with no way out."

Hyotei's voice turned cold. "When have I ever left myself an escape route?"

Although Huo Zhanji knew the plot, he hadn't read it carefully and was somewhat puzzled: "Hyotei, what does 'bone first, soul later' mean?"

Ice Emperor's attitude towards him was much better. He patiently said, "According to Tianmeng's method, I will directly become the soul ring of your Frost Dragon Martial Soul. I want to transfer as much power as possible to you, so I have decided to help you complete the fusion of your soul bones first. In this way, your physique will be greatly improved. Then I will integrate my soul power into your body. Since you already have my soul bones, it will be much easier to fuse them together."

Huo Zhanji asked solemnly, "Ice Emperor, how can I cooperate with you?"

Hyotei said, "Because it is my own choice, there will be no problem with the fusion of the soul bones. Under my control, the power contained in the soul bones will not leak out. However, there is a problem. Our power can protect your body, but it cannot protect your spirit. If you cannot endure it and your spirit collapses, then everything will be in vain."

"Ice Emperor, I can do it. If you want to do something against the will of Heaven, you must endure unprecedented pain. I can do it." Huo Zhanji's voice was very sincere.

Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's not delay."

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion said in a deep voice, "Zhan Ji, are you ready?"

Huo Zhanji nodded vigorously: "Let's begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chill instantly bloomed in his sea of ​​consciousness. Huo Zhan shivered violently. The icy coldness appeared in his soul, and his thoughts seemed to be frozen.

Hyotei's voice rang out: "I will use cold to numb your pain and minimize your suffering. To achieve the best effect, you cannot faint. Only while you remain conscious can I adjust your body based on your instinctive reactions."

A bright emerald light shone in Huo Zhanji's mind, and his double pupils also turned emerald green at this moment. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to be completely silent, letting the Ice Emperor unleash his power.

Huo Zhanji's body trembled violently. He felt as if something had pierced through his tailbone. The sharp, pointed object pierced his skin, fascia, and flesh, finally embedding itself deep into his bone. This kind of nerve-related pain was simply unbearable for any human.

Although Huo Zhanji had prepared himself for the pain, when it truly arrived, at that very moment, a golden light suddenly shone from between his brows, and a soft golden glow instantly enveloped his head, turning his sea of ​​consciousness golden once more.

The gentle, rhythmic golden light protected Huo Zhanji's violently fluctuating spiritual sea, finally easing Huo Zhanji's physical discomfort. Meanwhile, the Ice Emperor had already begun the process of fusion of his soul bones.

Another emerald light shone. The Ice Emperor wanted to see just how much this little human could endure. Although Huo Zhanji's body instantly reached its limit of pain tolerance, the Ice Emperor could sense from his body's reaction that this little human's body was actually very tough and flexible, with very few impurities in his body. Most importantly, although his sea of ​​consciousness was fluctuating violently, there was no sign of it collapsing.

As Hyotei watched Huo Zhanji persist, she muttered to herself, "Not bad, continue."

A wisp of emerald green slowly seeped into Huo Zhanji's spine, spreading towards his torso. Naturally, the spine was the first to spread, and Huo Zhanji's ribs began to branch out into emerald green, then slowly moved upwards.

Huo Zhanji kept telling himself to hold on, to hold on, and never give up no matter what. The future hadn't even begun, so how could it end so quickly!

After the emerald green covered all the bones of Huo Zhanji's torso, the emerald green light on the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body began to dim. Although this transformation process was painful, it was of great benefit to Huo Zhanji's growth.

Huo Zhanji's body trembled incessantly, and a layer of ice beads had formed on his skin, all of which were condensed sweat. The accelerated circulation of blood energy was an inevitable result of absorbing and fusing the soul bone, and these beads protected Huo Zhanji's internal organs, meridians, flesh, and bones. No matter how fast the blood energy circulated, it could not break through their defenses.

At first, the emerald green color appeared as thin, emerald-green threads covering the spine, sternum, and ribs. But as time passed, these threads of emerald green gradually grew stronger and wider, completely outlining the skeleton.

The pain Huo Zhanji felt began to change again; all the bones in his torso began to feel alternating sensations of extreme cold and extreme heat.

From day to night, and then from night to day, the emerald green light emanating from Huo Zhanji's body grew stronger and stronger. His muscles, bones, and internal organs all began to change under this nourishment, comprehensively improving Huo Zhanji's physical qualities.

"Zhanji, be careful. The fusion of the soul bone is almost complete, and only the final process of fully integrating with your own bones remains. I will seal the power of the soul bone into your bone marrow, allowing it to be gradually absorbed by you. This final fusion process may be even more painful than the previous ones. You must persevere."

Huo Zhanji took a deep breath, conveying a persistent and unwavering belief to Hyotei.

However, when the final wave of pain from the fusion of soul and bone arrived, Huo Zhanji's spiritual sea surged violently and almost collapsed instantly.

"Hold on!" Huo Zhanji quickly mobilized his bloodline to assist him.

Huo Zhanji's pale golden spiritual sea surged violently, and the emerald green bones on his body gradually began to transform into dark green, and then back to emerald green. It was in this continuous process of transformation and fusion that the pain was most intense.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm paused for a moment, and the cracks that covered the sea of ​​spirit miraculously began to heal. Huo Zhanji actually endured the pain that even the Ice Emperor found extremely difficult to bear.

An hour of agonizing waiting slowly passed, and the transition between emerald green and dark green gradually stabilized. Finally, the color settled on a deep emerald green, and Huo Zhanji's body underwent a dramatic transformation.

As the pain gradually subsided, Huo Zhanji's body relaxed. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's tail hook, which had pierced his coccyx, slowly retracted, carrying Huo Zhanji's body onto the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's back.

The deep light in Huo Zhanji's eyes gradually turned into weariness. After such a long period of torment, his body and mind had long since reached their limits. It was the obsession in his heart that sustained him.

Nearly half an hour passed before Hyotei's weary voice finally rang out: "Tenmu."

"I'm here. How are you?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked with great concern.

Hyotei snorted, "I'm fine. Although you're a good-for-nothing, you have good judgment. You've protected me."

"For my own happiness, I will do everything in my power to help. Come on, let's begin."

A thick white halo began to emanate from beneath Huo Zhanji, sweeping upwards and enveloping his body. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion transformed into wisps of icy mist, seeping into Huo Zhanji's body through his skin. Amidst the pervasive icy mist, Huo Zhanji quickly disappeared from sight, and the Ice Emperor beneath him was also vanishing silently.

A golden halo began to appear quietly, guiding the white halo to slowly flow into Huo Zhanji's body. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was indeed doing its best to help the Ice Emperor. Under the influence of its powerful spiritual energy, the Ice Emperor's fusion process was much easier, but it was still a long process.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the secondary mission and breaking through to the Great Soul Master before the age of twelve. The host will be rewarded with comprehensive purification.]

"Purification," Huo Zhanji murmured to himself.

The next second, a beam of icy blue light enveloped Huo Zhanji. The light continuously cleansed him, and his previously broken spirit instantly returned to normal. Bingdi naturally sensed this power, but after Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's explanation, she understood that Huo Zhanji had a powerful ally.

"System, open my character panel," Huo Zhanji silently instructed.
