Chapter 19 Ice Chimera
"The fusion between the Ice Phoenix Wings and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso is basically complete." The Ice Emperor finally relaxed completely after a long time.
"I've finished all the seals here too." Tianmeng yawned, then stretched, looking as if she was about to go to sleep.
"Yuhao has been in deep meditation for at least a month now. I'm wondering if I should ask Xue Di to help find a suitable spirit beast with the right spiritual attribute for him. I estimate that he'll need to absorb two spirit rings in a row before he wakes up."
Ice Emperor snapped, "Tianmeng, are you an idiot? You want the Lord of the Far North to bring two soul beasts for humans to absorb soul rings? You really dare to dream!"
Tianmeng rolled her eyes at Bingdi. "Let me ask you, if Yuhao's situation were fully revealed to the public, how many of these ferocious beasts, who have gained intelligence and are nearing their lifespan, would be eager to become Yuhao's intelligence soul rings?"
Ice Emperor fell silent. Tianmeng's hypothesis was very true. If this group of dying guys really knew about Huo Yuhao's extraordinary star power, eight or nine out of ten of them would come knocking on their door with their families.
Seeing that Bingdi remained silent, Tianmeng continued, "You know that Yuhao's current mental cultivation and physical abilities mean he could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring without any problems. And ten-thousand-year soul beasts, especially those with a mental attribute, must already possess considerable intelligence. As long as they understand the benefits of becoming Yuhao's soul ring, they are unlikely to refuse."
"If the Snow Empress were to personally take charge, the probability of success would be one hundred percent."
Hyotei asked with some concern, "You said it would benefit the other party. But the soul of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is still too fragile. What if we're not careful?"
The Ice Empress wasn't showing any saintly compassion by genuinely caring about the life of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. In the eyes of soul beasts, the law of the jungle is a given, and death is simply death. However, for the Snow Empress, as the ruler of the far north, to willingly sacrifice the lives of her people for a human to absorb a soul ring would damage her prestige in the far north.
If it cannot be guaranteed that the soul of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast will be 100% undamaged, and it is certain that one will obtain great benefits...
Hyotei didn't want to put Yuki-tei in a difficult position.
Tianmeng knew perfectly well what Hyotei was thinking. She wouldn't have brought up this idea if she wasn't absolutely certain.
"Have you ever considered sacrifice? Let those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts be sacrificed directly!"
Hyotei was stunned. She felt as if she had heard something utterly absurd. Sacrifice? Wasn't that something only a 100,000-year-old soul beast could do? Did the heavens want a 10,000-year-old soul beast to do the work of a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
"Are you kidding me? Sacrifice is something only ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts can do! The soul of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast can't possibly control the sacrificial ritual!"
Tianmeng smiled faintly, "What I'm talking about is sacrifice. A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast can't do it, but I can! What if I implant my own soul imprint into the other's soul beforehand, and then use that soul imprint to perform the sacrifice ritual in place of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast's soul?"
"My fusion with Yuhao was the earliest, and we were also the first to be baptized by the power of the stars, so our soul compatibility is the highest. I will first assimilate a portion of the soul aura of these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to increase their soul compatibility."
"With soul imprints replacing their souls to lead the ritual, and a certain degree of soul compatibility, tell me how can you lose?"
Hyotei's impression of Tenmu changed significantly for the first time. This guy's non-combat abilities far surpassed their own. His wild imaginations were finally brought to reality and achieved considerable results. Was this guy really that amazing?
Tianmeng is in a great mood right now. Being able to leave Hyotei speechless is the best reward for her!
However, getting Hyotei to admit that she was amazing was absolutely impossible! Hyotei knew Tianmeng's temperament all too well. If she made the first compliment, she would be met with a torrent of laughter from Tianmeng. She would never let Tianmeng have her way!
"Then hurry up and tell Xue Di! I'm going to sleep!"
Tianmeng was stunned. Wasn't that line from her own script?
Tianmeng was forced to work overtime, and she and Xuedi searched diligently for two days before finally finding two suitable soul beasts. One was their own kind, a ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm, and the other was a ten-thousand-year-old ice mirror demon, which was extremely rare in the far north.
As a spirit beast primarily driven by spiritual attributes, the Ice Mirror Demon, like the Ice Silkworm, is extremely fragile. Therefore, like the Ice Silkworm clan, they possess their own innate survival skill—the Ice Demon Illusion Mirror. However, unlike the Ice Silkworm clan's illusion, the Ice Demon Illusion Mirror induces illusions in enemies, rather than altering its own appearance to confuse them.
If the Ice Demon Illusion Mirror were only like that, it wouldn't be much different from a regular illusion-type soul skill. The most outrageous aspect of the Ice Demon Illusion Mirror is its coercive nature; everything reflected by it is forcibly trapped in an illusion for at least three seconds!
Even if you are a Limit Douluo, you will still be physically controlled for three seconds if you are hit by the light!
To be honest, when Tianmeng learned that Xue Di had brought in an Ice Mirror Demon, she was dumbfounded, because this type of soul beast should have become extinct 100,000 years ago.
She couldn't help but marvel at Huo Yuhao's incredible luck. His improvement during this trip to the far north was like a heifer riding a rocket – the bull was bound to soar to the heavens!
Looking at the guy still deep in meditation, Tianmeng shook her head and smiled, then went back to her little nest to catch up on sleep.
Three months later.
Huo Yuhao finally woke up from his deep meditation. Because the energy released from the fusion of the Ice Phoenix Wings and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso bone was constantly nourishing his body, he felt no discomfort except for a slight stiffness.
If I had to pinpoint anything that wasn't quite right, it would probably be that I was a little hungry.
At this moment, the ice cave was empty except for Huo Yuhao; Xue Di was nowhere to be seen. Tian Meng and Bing Di seemed to be asleep due to overworking earlier. Huo Yuhao had no one to talk to.
However, compared to that, filling my stomach is probably more urgent.
Huo Yuhao took out some smoked meat and dry rations from his soul tool. After eating for a while, he felt a bit dry. So, Huo Yuhao first used his right hand to freeze a cup-shaped solid ice block, and then used his left hand to create a cluster of flames and throw it into the center of the ice block. The cup-shaped solid ice block gradually turned into an ice cup filled with warm water.
Huo Yuhao drank the water in his cup in one gulp. With his stomach full and his hunger finally found some relief.
With the trivial matters settled, it was time for him to get down to business. His second martial soul had just awakened, and he hadn't had a chance to properly experience it yet.
As his soul power circulated, his second martial soul successfully possessed him for the first time.
A pair of ice-blue wings with a wingspan of two meters sprouted from Huo Yuhao's back, and a five-segmented scorpion tail of the same length extended from his tailbone. His hair turned completely white, and his pupils also turned as blue as the clear sky.
In addition, a white snow lotus rune appeared between his eyebrows.
Huo Yuhao frowned as he looked at his strange martial soul. He felt he needed to come up with a name for it.
A scorpion's tail, phoenix's wings—who knows if they'll continue to change in the future.
Let's just call it Chimera! Ice Chimera! If dragon horns and scales appear later, this name won't seem out of place, and it'll solve all the mutation problems at once!
