Douluo: Starting by Taking Control of the Holy Ghost Cult's Saintess

The Land of Extreme North has no day or night. Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the peak of a snow-covered mountain, majestic life energy swirling around him with every breath he took.

Under the treatment of the common lord of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King, and the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, he had returned to his peak state in just one day.

Yes, Bi Ji had been summoned by the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena with her spatial power. And arriving with her was none other than the leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of all Douluo, the Beast God Di Tian.

Di Tian's appearance was resolute and stern. A head of long black hair actually hung down to his heels, not a bit more, not a bit less. Within this head of black hair, two strands of golden hair were particularly conspicuous, hanging quietly in front of him.

At this time, he stood together with the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. The two of them raised their right hands and made a virtual grasping motion at the sky.

An extremely terrifying aura suddenly bloomed from the two of them. Just that one virtual grasp seemed as if it would tear the sky apart. The entire Land of Extreme North trembled slightly, and the sky twisted violently.

Immediately, an invisible membrane rapidly formed above the Land of Extreme North, isolating all peeping from the upper realm.

Bi Ji was a peerless beauty. A head of long, emerald-green hair was draped behind her back, and her eyes were also emerald green. Her figure was slender, and a long, aquamarine dress perfectly outlined her slender body. A pair of arms as white as tender lotus roots were exposed. The most peculiar thing was that on her back was a pair of wings, as if carved from gemstones.

This pair of wings was emerald green, and every feather looked so brilliant and dazzling. The vibrant green was full of the breath of life, further setting off her appearance like a goddess of nature, moving one's soul.

At this time, Bi Ji withdrew the healing life essence from Huo Yuhao's body. Her lotus steps moved slightly, and she returned to Di Tian's side.

Seeing this group of fellows who had imprisoned it for countless years again, a look of unease appeared on the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face. In front of the Silver Dragon King and the Beast God, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of years it had lived, it was only fit to be slaughtered.

"Master, with this god-level anti-peeping energy membrane that you and I have built together, unless a God-King from the God Realm personally descends, no other existence can spy on our actions," Di Tian bowed deeply to Gu Yuena and said with confidence.

Gu Yuena nodded, then turned her gaze to the healed Huo Yuhao.

Combining the description from the original novel, Huo Yuhao recognized the identities of Di Tian and Bi Ji at a glance.

"Many thanks, Senior Bi Ji."

Huo Yuhao bowed in salute to Bi Ji. Without her help, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to recover so quickly.

"Spare me the human etiquette. We need to see hope from you. How you prove your value is the result my soul beast lineage wants to see," Di Tian snorted coldly. He was clearly very dissatisfied with the great price his own side needed to pay in their negotiation with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao knew this great god's personality very well and just smiled faintly. At this time, the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King had already stood behind him. The Ice Empress had transformed into a human form and was surprisingly an exquisite and beautiful young girl.

"There's no time to lose. Let's begin. I ask you two to also be on guard to prevent my existence from being spied upon by the God Realm," Huo Yuhao said.

The Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King looked at each other, not a trace of hesitation in their eyes. Two balls of ferocious beast spiritual origin drifted out from their bodies and drilled towards Huo Yuhao's forehead.

Under the powerful spiritual control of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao, who had suddenly absorbed the origins of two ferocious beasts, did not immediately explode. However, a look of pain appeared on his face.

The bodies of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the Demon Eye Demon Tree, having lost their spiritual origins, fell to the ground. Without the control of their spiritual origins, the bodies immediately emitted an extremely terrifying ferocious might. A layer of brownish-green luster instantly appeared in the sky. One could imagine just how terrifying the strength of these two great ferocious beasts was.

Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was a blank slate. The original ice attribute had been completely replaced by the wood attribute. After the Ten Thousand Demon King merged in, the Immortal Spirit Wood would become his second martial soul.

According to Tianmeng's method, the Ten Thousand Demon King would directly become his martial soul, completing the shaping of your wood attribute. Then, the power of the Demon Eye Demon Tree itself would become Huo Yuhao's first soul ring. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was bound to produce a soul bone, but the Ten Thousand Demon King was an exception.

The Ten Thousand Demon King could not only produce two identical, symmetrical soul bones, but the soul bones would also be stronger than those produced by ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Moreover, it could decide its form, and what soul bone it would become for Huo Yuhao. Therefore, the Ten Thousand Demon King decided to first help him complete the fusion of the soul bones. This way, Huo Yuhao's physique would be greatly improved. Then, it would merge the soul power of the Demon Eye Demon Tree into his body. With the soul bone of the Demon Eye Demon Tree, the fusion would be much easier.

According to Bibi Dong's suggestion, neither the Ten Thousand Demon King nor the Ice Empress would condense the six common soul bones for him, but instead, external soul bones with higher growth potential.

Because both were willing, there would be no problem with the fusion of the external soul bones. Under the control of all the great masters, the power contained in the soul bones would not leak out. However, Huo Yuhao had to endure immense pain.

Huo Yuhao had already thought it through. For him, the most suitable form for the Ten Thousand Demon King's soul bones was the left and right palm bones, while the Ice Empress would condense wing bones. During the fusion, they would replace his palm bones and connect the wing bones to his back. Because the power of their soul bones was too great, Huo Yuhao's own bones had to be transformed by their soul bones.

This process would be relatively long, and moreover, it would be extremely painful. Their power could protect Huo Yuhao's body, but it could not protect his spirit. If Huo Yuhao could not endure it and his spirit collapsed, then all their previous efforts would be wasted.

Regarding soul bones, Huo Yuhao had a lot of understanding from reading the original novel. Among the six great soul bones, the most precious were the head soul bone and the torso soul bone, followed by the four limb soul bones. And the torso soul bone referred to here was actually the spinal bone, not all the bones in the torso. Things like ribs and sternum, if one could find a soul bone to fuse with, were all called external soul bones. Their preciousness was comparable to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and would bring special and powerful abilities.

"You two, I can endure it. No matter how painful, I can do it," Huo Yuhao's voice was sincere. Great strength could never be obtained through empty talk. How could there be gains without putting in the effort? In the past two years, he had cultivated with what was practically one thousand percent of others' effort to have his current ability. The opportunity was right before him. No matter how intense the pain, Huo Yuhao would absolutely not back down.

The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the Demon Eye Demon Tree said in a deep voice, "Are you ready?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and nodded forcefully, "Let's begin!"

The moment his voice fell, a wave of coldness instantly bloomed in his spiritual sea. Huo Yuhao shivered, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave. This was different from the feeling he had in the ice chamber in the core region of the Land of Extreme North. The coldness this time appeared in his soul, and his thoughts seemed to be frozen.

The Ice Empress's voice sounded, "I personally will use the cold to numb your sense of pain and reduce your suffering to a minimum. But because your body has not yet fully developed, we must be very cautious when fusing with your original bones, so the process will be very long. In order to achieve the best effect, you cannot fall unconscious. Only when you remain conscious can we make adjustments through your body's instinctive reactions."

Huo Yuhao was now unable to answer. And at this point, neither the Ice Empress nor the Ten Thousand Demon King had left themselves a way out, so they naturally couldn't change their minds anymore.

Emerald green and brownish-brown light flourished in Huo Yuhao's mind. His pair of Spirit Eyes also changed at this moment, one side becoming emerald green and the other brownish-brown. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have completely fallen silent, letting the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King do as they pleased.

Two beams of light shot out from Huo Yuhao's eyes, accurately landing on the bodies of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the Demon Eye Demon Tree. The two bodies immediately trembled violently.

The intense emerald-green light on the Ice Empress's body crazily moved towards its tail hook. When the emerald green turned dark green, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's tail hook suddenly swung up and viciously pierced into Huo Yuhao's spine. And the roots of the demon tree wrapped around Huo Yuhao's palms.

Huo Yuhao's body trembled violently. He only felt as if his spine and palm bones had been instantly pierced by something. The sharp and pointed existence pierced through his skin, fascia, flesh, and finally embedded itself fiercely into his bones.

This kind of nerve-originating, severe pain was simply something a normal human could not control or endure. Huo Yuhao instantly opened his mouth wide, his eyes bulging outwards, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. His body trembled even more violently.

The Ten Thousand Demon King could have used its own wood-attribute healing ability for mediation first. That would have greatly reduced Huo Yuhao's pain. But it did not do so, because it wanted to test just what level this little human's endurance could reach.

The answer it got surprised it. Although Huo Yuhao's body instantly reached the limit of pain it could bear, through his body's reaction, the two of them could feel that this little human's body was surprisingly tough and formidable, and there were almost no impurities in his body.

Especially this guy's waist bone! After a year of fierce battle with Ma Xiaotao and Mu Jin, the strongest part of Huo Yuhao's body that he had trained was actually his waist bone's explosive power!

Most importantly, although his spiritual sea was fluctuating violently, there was not the slightest sign of it collapsing. Even if the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't make a move, he wouldn't be destroyed because of this.

A trace of envy emerged in the hearts of the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King. The talent and potential of humans were indeed something that no soul beast with a noble bloodline could compare to. Of course, they were only envious. If they were to switch, they would be absolutely unwilling. Otherwise, when they reached one hundred thousand years of cultivation, they wouldn't have chosen to break through the great limit, but would have transformed into humans and re-cultivated.

Huo Yuhao's naked body looked very sturdy. The year of hard cultivation in the private chambers had not been in vain. However, at this time, his skin was surprisingly white, almost no different from the ice and snow on the ground.

One by one, emerald-green wisps slowly injected along his spine, spreading towards his back. His palms were wrapped in the coiling tree roots, and the details couldn't be seen.

The god-creation method proposed by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was unprecedented even on the Douluo Continent. One must know, it had taken the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a full one hundred thousand years to basically complete the initial preparatory work.

Don't be fooled by how easily the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao fused. In reality, it had sealed about half of its own spiritual origin beforehand and had split it. This process had been completed long ago, and there were many more subtle preparations. Now with the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King, in the subsequent fusion process, it was always by their side, guiding and helping them, using its own powerful spiritual power to assist the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King.

Huo Yuhao's slender body trembled continuously. A layer of fine ice beads had already formed on the surface of his skin; they were all condensed from sweat. Blood had long seeped from his seven orifices. And the skin under that layer of ice beads had completely turned red. The speed at which the blood qi in his body circulated had reached a horrifying degree. If this were anyone else, they would have long since exploded and died. But at this time, Huo Yuhao's body was being guarded by the spiritual origins of four great experts: Bibi Dong, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, and the Ten Thousand Demon King.

The acceleration of the blood qi circulation was a situation that would inevitably occur when absorbing and fusing with a soul bone. And what they protected were Huo Yuhao's internal organs, meridians, flesh, and bones, equivalent to plating a layer of film inside his body. No matter how fast the blood qi circulated, it could not break through their line of defense.

The rich fluctuation of blood qi, the pale skin, plus the emerald-green bones that could be seen from the outside, and the coiling dead trees, sketched out a terrifying picture. Only Huo Yuhao's eyes were still golden now. With Bibi Dong around, although the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't need to assist him in guarding his spiritual sea, it had to protect his martial soul well.

It could be said that the Huo Yuhao of this life could basically be considered the one who had endured the most intense pain from fusing with a soul bone in the history of human soul masters. One reason was that his cultivation was not high, and another was naturally because the grade of the soul bones he was fusing with was too high, too many, and too abnormal.

Even if the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King were already doing their best to control it, their soul bones added up were still an existence of nearly a million years! Even if the vast majority of the power was sealed inside the soul bones and not released, it was still a huge impact for Huo Yuhao, who was still in his developmental period.

Huo Yuhao's small body spasmed and trembled violently, completely out of control. The intense pain caused his bones to continuously emit crackling sounds, but he insisted on not making a single sound.

Because in his heart, there was always a belief, and that was, he must save Zhongli Yu!

An hour of torment slowly passed. The transformation of the emerald green and brownish-brown gradually stabilized. Finally, the color of Huo Yuhao's back was fixed in a deep emerald green, exactly the same as the color of the original Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's tail. The dead wood on his palms loosened its coils, revealing a pair of brown hands. And Huo Yuhao's body had also undergone a heaven-and-earth-shaking transformation.

The bones all over Huo Yuhao's body had clearly grown a little under the nourishment of the great supplement. His shoulders had widened a bit, and his figure had also become a little taller. His muscles, meridians, fascia, blood vessels, and internal organs had all become countless times tougher than before. His skin even presented a jade-like luster. In this world of ice and snow, it still exuded a noble aura.

His eyes were always open. The emerald-green and brownish-brown light was slowly fading, and his purple-red eyes also became much deeper.

If one were to use one word to describe the current Huo Yuhao, then the word "metamorphosis" would be most appropriate.
