Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 59 Fusion with Hyotei

"Bingbing————"

Seeing the Ice Emperor fall silent after Lin Yao finished speaking, the pale blue aura emanating from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm floating beside him trembled slightly.

It was afraid that the aloof Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion would get angry, and was about to speak up to smooth things over when it met the gaze of the Ice Emperor.

Those eyes were like ice that had never melted, devoid of any warmth; even the air seemed to be frozen by that gaze.

Tianmeng Bingcan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Her chubby body shrank back instinctively, and even the fluctuations of her spiritual energy around her subtly diminished.

After easily intimidating Tenmu with her gaze, Hyotei slowly turned her head. Light and shadow flickered in her golden eyes, and the scorpion hook at the end of her tail trembled unconsciously, clearly indicating that she was not at peace.

She lowered her eyes in deep thought, Tianmeng's words echoing repeatedly in her mind like a heavy hammer.

The great calamity that will occur 400,000 years from now is an inescapable knot in her destiny.

Previously, she could only wait in despair for her fate to befall her, but now, Lin Yao's appearance has given her another way.

A new path, though full of unknowns, has a very high probability of success and inspires a desire to take the plunge.

She was unwilling to ignore such an opportunity.

Hyotei's self-glow quietly swept over Lin Yao.

The boy sat cross-legged, his back straight as a pine tree. Even when facing this top-level ferocious beast, his eyes showed only composure and determination, without the slightest fear.

Then, recalling Tianmeng's incredible million-year soul ring foundation, the two combined created a dazzling brilliance that made it impossible for her to look away.

If he were to add to his 400,000-year-old accumulation of soul power, he might actually be able to reach a realm that even soul beasts wouldn't dare to dream of.

Even in the worst-case scenario, it could help her break through to the pinnacle of the continent, becoming a Limit Douluo, or even the strongest Limit Douluo.

In that way, her lifespan could be extended by several hundred years.

For someone who has lived for tens of thousands of years, with a lifespan exceeding four hundred thousand years, several hundred years may just be a fleeting moment.

But for a genius like Lin Yao, this amount of time is enough for him to carve out a new path for himself.

"Let's take a gamble."

Hyotei silently chanted in his heart, a sharp light suddenly flashing in his golden eyes, the scorpion stinger at the end of his tail snapped straight, and the cold aura around him seemed to become even more condensed.

She looked up at Lin Yao, her voice still cold, but with a hint of decisiveness: "Lin Yao, right? You've successfully convinced me and gained my approval. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Great, Bingbing! Welcome to the team!"

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cheered instantly, its plump body spinning merrily in the air.

The pale blue ripples of spiritual energy spread out like waves, bringing a touch of warmth to the surrounding air.

Upon hearing Hyotei's words, Lin Yao's tense lips slowly curved into a faint smile.

He slowly rose, met Hikaru's gaze, and said in a calm and sincere tone, "Hyotei, welcome to the team. Since you're willing to trust me, I will certainly not let you and Tenmu down."

Hyotei looked at the confidence and determination shining in Lin Yao's eyes. It was a light that had been tempered and refined, unlike the impetuousness of a young man, but rather like that of a seasoned and powerful person.

The coldness in her heart seemed to melt away a little under that gaze, and her tone softened unconsciously: "I hope so."

"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ice Emperor turned to look at the still circling Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, her scorpion tail flicking slightly, carrying a hint of urging: "Heavenly Dream, you should release me now. Otherwise, will the fusion process have to be completed inside your remains?"

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately stopped what it was doing, the aura around it diminished slightly, and its tone became serious: "Bingbing, I can let you out, but I have to be the villain first."

Although you agreed to the merger, it's still not a sure thing.

Once I remove the mental restraints, with your strength as a top-tier ferocious beast, any unforeseen event could easily put Xiao Yao in danger.

I don't want to take any risks, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance.

It paused, looked into Hyotei's eyes, and said seriously, "If you truly believe in us, release a wisp of the core power of your spiritual origin."

Only in this way can we truly trust each other.

Upon hearing this, Hyotei's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and the scorpion hook at the end of his tail subconsciously curled up.

How could she not know that the core of the spiritual origin is the most fundamental existence of the soul beast?

Once it is revealed, and given that Tianmeng is a million-year-old soul beast known for its spiritual power, one's life and death are essentially in the other's hands.

At that time, Lin Yao will be safe, but all the risks will fall on her shoulders alone.

Hyotei has lived for tens of thousands of years, and to have successfully reached the level of 400,000 years, it is by no means a naive and innocent person.

She couldn't help but wonder: Would Tianmeng and Lin Yao use the guise of fusion to steal her power and then kick her out of the game completely?

This concern was clearly written in her eyes, and both Tianmeng and Lin Yao could see it clearly.

Lin Yao spoke first, his tone solemn: "I swear on the origin of my martial soul that if I deceive the Ice Emperor today under the guise of fusion, I will suffer a backlash from my martial soul when I break through any realm in the future, and I will never make any progress."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint golden halo emanated from his body, and the aura of his martial spirit quietly spread, carrying an undeniable sincerity.

Tianmeng followed closely behind, her voice becoming more solemn: "I swear by my very essence that if I harbor even the slightest malice towards Hyotei today, my spirit will be shattered, and I will never find peace again."

The pale blue aura around it suddenly became more concentrated, and the fluctuations in its spiritual power carried the binding force of the oath.

The primordial oath between a Soul Master and a Soul Beast has extremely strong binding force.

If Lin Yao goes back on his word, he will definitely suffer a backlash when he breaks through to a higher realm.

If Tianmeng breaks its promise, it will suffer an irreparable fate, as its power is based on spiritual energy.

"it is good."

Seeing how decisive and efficient the two were, Hyotei's concerns dissipated considerably.

Without further hesitation, her emerald green soul power surged suddenly, and the scorpion hook at the end of her tail slowly rose. The light blue mental restraints that had been binding her gradually dissipated as Tianmeng relaxed.

A wisp of emerald green light gathered at the tip of her tail hook, growing brighter and brighter until it finally transformed into a tiny speck of light the size of a mung bean.

Immediately afterwards, the emerald green light detached from the tip of the scorpion hook and slowly floated in front of the three people, emitting a gentle yet pure spiritual fluctuation.

This is precisely the core power of Hyotei's spirit.

At the same time, Hyotei slowly closed his eyes, the fluctuations of his soul power gradually calmed down, and his originally sharp aura softened considerably.

She didn't just reveal a trace of her spiritual essence; instead, she released her entire spiritual body.

For a soul beast, handing over its spiritual essence is tantamount to entrusting its life and death to another. Even the Ice Emperor, known for its aloofness, showed the utmost sincerity at this moment.

Tianmeng looked at the emerald green light floating in the air, then at Bingdi who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and thought to himself:

As expected of Bingbing, whom I admire, she is indeed decisive.

The moment Ice Emperor's spirit separated from her body, her Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion body lost mental control and was no longer bound by Tianmeng's spiritual power. A pressure originating from a top-level ferocious beast suddenly erupted!

In an instant, the entire space seemed to freeze, and the surrounding air condensed into tiny ice crystals that fell down.

The clouds in the distance churned violently, and the once clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds. A howling wind swept in, and the celestial phenomena were completely changed by this oppressive force.

Such terrifying power is enough to prove why the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion can consistently rank in the top ten of the Soul Beast Ranking; it is the domineering and powerful nature engraved in its bloodline.

"Let's talk in the Sea of ​​Spirit, lest this pressure affect the outside world."

Lin Yao spoke, and a golden halo suddenly spread around him, enveloping both the Ice Emperor's spiritual body and Tianmeng.

The next second, the three people's consciousnesses entered Lin Yao's spiritual sea.

The sea of ​​his spirit was crystal clear, like an endless starry sky, with specks of golden light floating slowly within it—the source of Lin Yao's spiritual power.

Hyotei's spiritual body hovered in this starry sky, looking at the surrounding scenery with a hint of surprise in its eyes.

Ordinary Soul Masters' spiritual seas are never so vast or so condensed; Lin Yao's talent is even more astonishing than she imagined.

She quickly composed herself, turned to look at Lin Yao, and said seriously, "Lin Yao, I will now control my body to perform a fusion with you that is similar to a sacrifice."

During this process, I will inscribe the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's spirit mark on the attribute-less ice spirit that Tianmeng gave you.

"With this mark, you can truly control the power of my Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul."

"In addition to these, there are corresponding spirit rings and spirit bones. With my control, I will first condense the most suitable torso bones for you, and then add my scorpion tail."

This is equivalent to a top-tier soul bone, plus an external soul bone that can evolve as your strength increases.

If you can successfully absorb it, it will absolutely be a transformative boost to your strength.

At this point, Hyotei's tone became more serious: "However, you should be prepared."

Although your physical strength is far superior to that of other Soul Masters of the same level, and you are already comparable to Soul Kings or even Soul Emperors, the power of a 400,000-year Soul Ring is something that even a Title Douluo of level 97 or 98 might not be able to successfully absorb.

Therefore, I need to attach a soul bone to you first, using its power to enhance your physique. This will minimize the sealing of the soul ring's power and allow you to reap the greatest benefits.

"However, this process will be extremely painful. When the soul bone merges into the body, it is equivalent to completely shattering and recasting your bones. Every inch of skin and every bone will feel a tearing pain."

You must remain conscious throughout the entire process. If you fall unconscious, not only will the fusion fail, but you yourself may never wake up again.

After listening, Lin Yao did not hesitate at all, and the determination in his eyes grew even stronger.

He nodded slowly, his tone calm yet firm: "Okay. Talking is meaningless. I will do my best to persevere and will not let you and Tianmeng down."

He knew in his heart that his mental strength had been honed many times and was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his physique was several times stronger than that of Huo Yuhao in the original timeline.

If Huo Yuhao could persevere, there's no reason why he can't.

If you can't even endure this little bit of pain, then wanting to become the strongest in the future is nothing but a self-deceiving joke.

He didn't want to embarrass the "selves" in other worlds.

After confirming everything, Lin Yao sat down cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing and mental state.

He pushed his mental energy to its limit, and the golden aura around him became increasingly condensed, preparing him to face the pain.

Seeing that he was ready, Hyotei did not delay any longer.

With a slight movement of its spiritual body, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body outside slowly rose up, its emerald green soul power surging like a tide, enveloping the body.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous scorpion slowly approached Lin Yao, who was sitting cross-legged, and finally stopped behind him.

The next second, the emerald green light on the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body frantically converged and pulsed towards its tail hook.

The scorpion's stinger, originally emerald green, gradually deepened in color, from emerald green to dark green, and then to a vibrant, deep dark green, as if it contained a world-destroying power.

When the light reached its peak, the scorpion's tail suddenly straightened, and its stinger, like a green lightning bolt, pierced deeply into Lin Yao's coccyx!

"Pfft—"

—

A soft sound rang out, and emerald green soul power surged into Lin Yao's body through the tail hook.

In an instant, a heart-wrenching pain spread from my tailbone.

It felt as if countless steel needles were piercing his bones and meridians at the same time, or as if a raging fire was burning inside his body, scorching his internal organs.

Lin Yao's body trembled violently, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, turning his face as pale as paper.

But he clenched his teeth, not uttering a sound, his eyes remained closed, and his mind remained absolutely focused, using his strong will to resist the excruciating pain.

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, the Ice Emperor's spiritual body kept a close eye on Lin Yao's condition. Seeing that although his face was pale, he remained conscious, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. She murmured softly, "Not bad, worthy of being a top genius."

The pain of bone replacement would be enough to break an ordinary soul master, yet he was able to calmly face the pain.

With such willpower, even without my and Tianmeng's help, he will one day reach the pinnacle.

As time went by, the resentment she felt from being "forced to merge" gradually disappeared.

The way she looked at Lin Yao had softened and gained more approval.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm floated to the side, watching Lin Yao's appearance. Its chubby body swayed slightly, and it was filled with pride: "Of course, Little Yao is a genius I've chosen. This little bit of pain is nothing to him!"

As it spoke, it released a faint spiritual force, quietly enveloping Lin Yao's spiritual sea.

If Lin Yao's mental energy shows signs of dissipation, it can immediately lend a helping hand.

Time ticked by, and cold sweat trickled down Lin Yao's forehead and dripped onto the ground, instantly freezing into tiny ice crystals.

His body was still trembling slightly, and each breath was filled with indescribable pain, but his mental strength remained stable without any sign of collapse.

Hyotei's control was extremely precise. The emerald green soul power slowly flowed into Lin Yao's body through the tail hook, condensing into the prototype of a soul bone.

The rudimentary form of this torso bone slowly took shape within his body. Each time it solidified, it brought new pain, but it also continuously strengthened his physique.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last wisp of emerald green soul power was injected into Lin Yao's body, his torso bones finally took complete shape.

In an instant, a surge of pure energy erupted from his torso and bones, spreading throughout his body along his meridians. His pale face gradually regained some color, and the pain in his body lessened somewhat.

"The soul-bone fusion was successful."

Hyotei's voice came through, carrying a hint of relief.

"Next, begin absorbing the spirit ring. You must remain alert; the power of a spirit ring is far more violent than that of a spirit bone, so you must not let your guard down."

Lin Yao didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready.

Ice Emperor said no more. With a thought, the body of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion outside began to change.

The crystal-like particles on its body quietly melted, turning into wisps of ice mist that swirled around Lin Yao.

These icy mists carried a bone-chilling cold, yet contained extremely pure soul power, slowly seeping into Lin Yao's body through his skin.

As the icy mist surged in, a dense white halo suddenly bloomed beneath Lin Yao.

The halo, like a pure white cloud, swept upwards, completely enveloping his body.

Within the white halo, the immense power of a 400,000-year-old soul ring surged violently yet orderly into Lin Yao's soul power core.

As the icy mist dissipated, Hyotei's body gradually became transparent.

She is gradually transferring her power to Lin Yao, adding the final "fuel" to this fusion.

At the same time, the pale blue aura around the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm brightened, and a golden aura slowly emanated from its body, intertwining with the white aura beneath Lin Yao.

This golden halo acted like a gentle guide, directing the raging white halo and slowly injecting it into Lin Yao's body, preventing him from being devoured by the power of the soul ring.

Within his spiritual sea, Lin Yao's consciousness was highly focused as he guided the power of the spirit ring into his own soul power.

He could clearly feel that the strength of his soul power was increasing at a visible rate.

However, due to not absorbing Tianmeng's million-year soul ring as its third soul ring, its level did not increase, but its foundation became increasingly profound.

After an unknown amount of time, as the last wisp of icy mist seeped into Lin Yao's body, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body completely dissipated into the air.

The white aura surrounding Lin Yao reached its peak, then suddenly contracted inwards, surging entirely into his body!

"boom""

A deep rumble echoed in the space, and Lin Yao's soul power suddenly erupted, along with the awakening of golden spear intent, which slowly swirled around his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. His previously pale face regained its rosy hue, even taking on a faint, luminous quality.

He slowly got up, moved his limbs, and his bones made a slight "crackling" sound.

At this moment, he exuded a powerful yet gentle aura.

It possesses both the icy domineering nature of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the gentle warmth of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm; the two powers are perfectly integrated without any conflict.

Her fair, jade-like skin radiated a captivating glow under the lingering white light, and even her eyes appeared increasingly profound.
