Douluo Dalu 2: Peerless Gu master

After parting ways with the Tang Sect members, Huo Yuhao communicated with Skydream in his mind, preparing to surprise her.

"Yuhao, is this... real or fake?" Skydream asked, her voice filled with doubt and disbelief. She understood the words Yuhao said, but when they were connected, she couldn't comprehend them at all.

Huo Yuhao's expression grew serious and mysterious. "It's a long story. At first, I thought it was a lie, but later, I really obtained the Gu worm through this inheritance, and now, I'm about to fuse with the second martial soul."

Huo Yuhao explained in detail, presenting evidence of the various Gu worms he had acquired: the first-level Hope Gu, the first-level Liquor Worm, the first-level Little Light Gu, and the second-level Flower Bud Gu. Each of these had shocked Skydream, completely reshaping her understanding of the world.

As for the one-time-use Bronze Relic Gu, Huo Yuhao decided to wait until the Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique was fully fused before refining and absorbing it. This would maximize its value with the help of the Ten Absolute Bodies.

"Is this even possible!? Such a terrifying little worm!" Skydream exclaimed in disbelief. The Gu worm, which seemed fragile and harmless, possessed abilities far beyond ordinary spirit skills.

"Yuhao, do you know where this inheritance came from?" she asked.

Huo Yuhao answered thoughtfully, "I only know that it comes from the Great Love Immortal Venerable… But what's important is that this is something good for our god-making plan."

Skydream was moved by his words, her voice filled with emotion. "God-level opportunity?" She paused, her voice choking slightly. "I've made it through, and now, I'll rely on you, Yuhao!"

After leaving the Star Dou Forest, Huo Yuhao found a quiet spot to sit cross-legged. "Skydream, guard me from any danger. I'm about to fuse with my second martial soul."

"Don't worry, leave everything to Lord Skydream," she replied eagerly. She was curious to see how the inheritance would bypass restrictions and help Huo Yuhao successfully condense his ice martial soul.

"Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique, fuse!"

With a crack, an invisible wave radiated from Huo Yuhao's body, and the air around him seemed to freeze. His eyes flashed with a brilliant blue light, and the deep blue cold around him became almost palpable. His body began to take on an icy, crystalline form as if he were sculpted from the finest ice.

"Yuhao, this awakening of your martial soul is truly incredible. It's a good thing you had the foresight to stay away from the Star Dou Forest and come to this remote place, and my remains helped conceal your aura..."

Even within the spiritual sea, Skydream could feel the overwhelming power of the extreme cold emanating from Huo Yuhao. It was ice so intense it seemed to freeze the air itself.

"Indeed, Yuhao must have a deeper purpose in all this. How could a mere Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion compare to the Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique?" Skydream thought, impressed by the immense power radiating from him.

"Hehe, is this the grown-up Yuhao? He looks quite handsome. Truly worthy of the one I chose." A translucent figure appeared behind Huo Yuhao. This figure, over 1.9 meters tall, with crystal-clear silver hair, jade-white skin, and a majestic aura, slowly merged with him.

When the fusion was complete, Huo Yuhao's eyes opened, now silver-white with a dark, consuming core—an expression of cold soul power.

Huo Yuhao could feel the changes within himself. His soul power had risen to about level 18, but even more astonishing was the innate domain formed after the fusion: Northern Dark Ice Soul Domain.

This domain enhances Huo Yuhao's mental power and martial soul attributes by 20%, reduces soul power consumption by 20%, and accelerates soul power recovery by 20%.

It also weakens the mental power and martial soul attributes of designated enemies by 20%, with an enhanced effect against fire-attribute enemies. The domain's power was comparable to that of a Six-winged Angel Martial Soul from the Tang San era.

As he withdrew his martial soul, Huo Yuhao's silver-white hair returned to its original black color.

"Huh... why is my hair changing again?" Huo Yuhao muttered, confused.

"Yuhao, don't worry about such trivial details. Let's go find the Ice Emperor now," Skydream reminded him. She was eager to meet Bingdi again and show off her newfound power.

"Okay, Skydream, let's go." Huo Yuhao replied.

The Extreme North

On the snow-covered plains, the wind howled through the icy landscape. The sky and earth blended into one, a vast, frozen wilderness.

"This is my hometown, the Extreme North," Skydream said softly, her voice tinged with nostalgia. She surveyed the icy world in front of her with a melancholic expression. "But... Yuhao, aren't you cold in such thin clothes?"

Huo Yuhao, still wearing only a black short-sleeved shirt, didn't seem bothered by the freezing wind. With a flick of his right hand, the cold air surrounding them stilled, as if it obeyed his will.

"Don't worry, Skydream," he said confidently. Since merging with his second martial soul, controlling the ice attributes in his environment had become effortless.

The Extreme North felt like home to him now. Standing in this snowy expanse, he could feel his cultivation accelerating.

"Right, Yuhao, you've awakened the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul! In this cold place, you're like a fish in water," Skydream commented with a smile.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I prefer to call it the Northern Dark Ice Soul Body, or simply the Ice Soul Body."

After the fusion, Huo Yuhao understood instinctively that this martial soul could continue to evolve.

Besides its innate domain, the Ice Soul Body also possessed a unique talent: Ice Soul Body-Mimicry. By absorbing soul rings, soul bones, and bloodline power, the Ice Soul Body could evolve, transforming and revealing new external manifestations.

With this mimicry, Huo Yuhao's martial soul was not just a fusion of martial souls; it surpassed it. The more compatible the soul rings, bones, and bloodlines, the stronger the mimicry would become.

The Ice Emperor's legacy would allow him to fully display the characteristics of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's martial soul and even more.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts turned to the legacy of the two Dragon Kings in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he felt a sense of purpose. He was certain this was one of the paths to becoming a god.

His eyes grew firm with resolve. "First I will become a god, and then live for eternity!"

"Skydream, lead the way. I will take you to the top!" he declared.

"Lead the way? Lead the way?" Skydreams voice sounded a bit confused. "I don't even know where this place is!"
