Chapter 85.1: Twin Controllers of Ice and Fire, Thousandstrike Lance
Huo Yuhao had spent more than a year cultivating with his blood, sweat and tears. In addition to Skydream Icewormâs guidance, he was getting more and more proficient in controlling his spiritual power. Even though he still didnât have a spiritual sea that was sufficiently large enough, it was comparatively elaborate enough under his subtle control over his spiritual power.
As a result of that, it appeared as though his entrance into the spiritual sea in Wang Dongâs body was exceptionally gentle when he did so from his temple.
Wang Dong felt a burst of warmth from his temple. Following which, he seemed to be in a slightly dazed state, as though everything wasnât real anymore. Immediately after that, he strongly felt as though someone was openly spying on him.
Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual power entered Wang Dongâs spiritual sea without a hitch. The first thing he saw was a faint golden field, nothing too different compared to his spiritual sea. The only difference was that Wang Dongâs spiritual power was much weaker than his own.
I succeeded! Huo Yuhao was elated. For a connection between spiritual seas to work, both parties had to be extremely in sync. If one were to forcefully enter anotherâs spiritual sea, it was very likely to cause damage to either partiesâ soul sea. At the very least, the connection happening at this moment proved the absolute trust Wang Dong had in him.
The spiritual sea could be said to be the most mysterious place in the human body. Even till today, no one had really been able to grasp the mysteries of the spiritual sea. As a result of that, Huo Yuhao was exceptionally careful as started delving into the depths of Wang Dongâs spiritual sea.
But at this very moment, an indescribably terrifying aura suddenly surged out of Wang Dongâs spiritual sea.
That incomparably imposing aura was like a mountain. When faced with such terrifying might, Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual power was as small as a drop in the ocean.
âRun!â The Skydream Icewormâs startled voice suddenly rang out in Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual world. A massive suction force came from behind. Right before that terrifyingly formidable power came in contact with him, Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual power had already been completely stripped back to his original body.
Even though that was the case, Huo Yuhao still felt that the sight before his eyes had turned into a golden world. After that, his whole body flew backwards in a completely uncontrollable manner, viciously striking the wall. It was as though heâd been branded there for a good couple of seconds. Only after that did he slowly slide down while his own spiritual sea started vibrating violently.
The Skydream Iceworm barely kept Huo Yuhaoâs spiritual sea intact as it released its sealed, powerful spiritual power. Even so, Huo Yuhao was unable to regain his senses for a long time. His face was completely pale as he sat listlessly on the ground.
His mind drew a blank. After a good ten or so seconds passed, Huo Yuhao gradually regained consciousness, and the scene before his eyes was plain once more.
He clearly saw Wang Dong standing there with his eyes still closed as his body slowly absorbed a light golden light. He was emitting a feeling of divinity.
W-whatâs going on? Huo Yuhao was in a state of shock when he felt a wet puddle on his back. It was no surprise he was afraid. Just a moment ago, he had clearly felt as though his spiritual world was about to be completely destroyed if the Skydream Iceworm hadnât pulled his spiritual power back into his spiritual sea!
That power was really too terrifying, to the point where the Skydream Iceworm and the Ice Empress were a little sluggish. They were rendered temporarily unable to answer Huo Yuhaoâs question. Just what exactly was hidden in Wang Dongâs spiritual sea that had stunned the two powerhouses in his mind?
âElder Electrolux, what exactly is that power? How can it be so powerful?â Huo Yuhao asked, feeling horrified.
âSince the process was too brief, I canât determine what it is for sure either. I could only faintly feel that thereâs something sealed within his body. This seal is extremely powerful, so unimaginably powerful. Even when I was at my strongest in my previous life, Iâm afraid I couldnât even compare to this seal. This seal seems to be sealing something on Wang Dongâs body, or putting it another way, something in his consciousness. But at the same time, itâs also protecting his spiritual sea so that it doesnât corrode. In any case, you shouldnât try it again. Just a step later, and your body and soul wouldâve been obliterated. Thankfully, the big wormâs sensitive to spiritual power, and was able to save you in time,â Electrolux spoke with a heavy tone.
Naturally, Huo Yuhao didnât dare to try again. His lapels were completely drenched from the back. He never wouldâve thought that the outcome would be like this. This was just as Elder Electrolux said. He had almost gone to the dogs!
âElder Electrolux, would this situation cause harm to Wang Dong?â Huo Yuhao asked urgently.
âNo, it shouldnât. This situation is actually very rare, but itâs not like something like this hasnât appeared amongst humans before. There are a very few situations in the human world that will cause humans to have godlike traits, just like this one. To put it simply, a deity exists in your friendâs body,â Electrolux said.
âGods were nothing but illusions in the world I came from. Once one broke through that realm, they had to give up their corporeal body and everything they had. A deity expands itself all across the world and controls everything, yet controls nothing at the same time. This is main reason why people from my world werenât willing to become gods. When gods appeared, their souls would spread across the world. If a new life graced the world when that happened, the newbornâs vitality might very well cause a shred of the deityâs soul to enter their body. This is very beneficial to humans because, it would endow that child with talents. Moreover, this deity wouldnât affect the newbornâs body, and would gradually disappear as the human aged. To put it in other terms, itâs called luck.â
âThose who possess deities in them are lucky individuals. Donât you guys have that saying where lucky people donât have any worries in life?â
After hearing Electroluxâs explanation, Huo Yuhao gently exhaled. Everything was fine as long as Wang Dong was okay. Naturally, he wouldnât try and pry into his spiritual sea anymore in the future. His experience from a moment ago was really too scary.
The Skydream Iceworm and the Ice Empress didnât give him any other explanation. After all was said and done, they were soul beasts, and their understanding of the human world wasnât as profound as that of Electrolux. Moreover, the deity that was like a seal really didnât harbor any ill intent towards Wang Dong. It only silently protected Wang Dongâs soul. As a result of that, their conclusive opinion was the same as Elder Electroluxâs, and they felt that everything would be fine as long as Huo Yuhao didnât purposely go and stir up trouble for himself.
Wang Dong seemed to have woken up at this moment. He slowly opened his eyes, and was taken aback when he saw Huo Yuhao collapsed on the ground. âYuhao, what happened to you?â He quickly strode forward and lent Huo Yuhao an arm.
Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and said, âItâs nothing. I just pried into your spiritual sea just now, and it consumed too much of my spiritual power. Thatâs all. Your status is very normal, and thereâs nothing wrong with you. I reckon itâs a psychological burden from when you cultivated your martial soul as a child. Donât mind it too much. You donât have to use soul tools if you donât like them. You have me, after all. Come, letâs cultivate for awhile. I consumed quite a lot of my spiritual power just now, so you need to help me out. Are we going to stay here, or are we going over to your side?â
Wang Dong saw his pale face and quickly said, âWhy torture yourself? Weâll stay here.â As he spoke, he helped Huo Yuhao to the bed. The two of them pressed their palms against the otherâs, and the gentle fluctuations of soul power converged into Haodong Power, starting to circulate within their bodies. Only then did Huo Yuhao feel somewhat stronger than before.
A thousand miles awayâ¦
A massive castle built atop the peak of a mountain. The grey castle was filled with an archaic aura, making it seem as though it had reached the pinnacle of existence.
In the castle, two middle-aged men were drinking wine in a spacious hall.
They were extremely tall. They still exuded a majestic aura even as they sat there.
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table had long green hair draped over his impressively wide shoulders. His eyes were actually green too! As he closed and opened his eyes, there was an ineffably special sense of realism to his simple and unadorned eyes. It was as though they were faintly revealing the tyrannical aura that his body couldnât suppress.
White skintight garments enveloped his tall figure. He held a huge wine cup in his hands, letting fine amber wine enter his system.
A middle-aged brawny man whose body wasnât inferior to his sat in the seat next to the head of the table. This person had fine, short hair that resembled steel needles. He had a majestic appearance, with a chiseled, resolute face. His eyes were light brown, and shone faintly with a golden glow.
These two people were only sitting there, but the feeling they exuded was an extremely majestic one. That strong aura definitely couldnât be fully concealed even if they were to suppress it.
These two men had originally been drinking wine when their bodies shook at the same time out of the blue. Soon, a look of terror appeared in their eyes. With a swoosh, they immediately stood up.
At this moment, four bolts of lightning seemed to have suddenly filled the hall. Two of them were the color of jade, while the other two were light brown. The palace-like hall creaked, failing to withstand the sudden terrifying aura that had exploded out in the room.
