Chapter 312 Returning? Passing through Longxing City!
In the far north, in the core area, all is silent.
At this moment, even the relentless blizzard seemed to hold its breath.
As the Snow Empress finished speaking, two completely different yet equally profound and vast primal forces finally separated from the bodies of the two extreme northern rulers without reservation.
The emerald green light on Hyotei's body was no longer just covering her surface, but was peeled away from the core of her jade-green scorpion body as if it were a tangible substance, and then condensed into a ball of emerald green, with countless ice crystal stars flowing inside, radiating the ultimate icy halo.
The moment the halo appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
What emanated from Xue Di's chest was a nearly transparent, pale white halo.
It's not glaring; in fact, it seems rather gentle.
However, what it contains is an ultimate ice and vast energy that is purer and closer to the origin of the laws of ice and snow than Hyotei, as if an entire Ice Age is condensed within it.
As the two halos representing the core of their souls and the origin of their cultivation completely detached from their bodies and floated in mid-air, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's dazzling emerald eyes and the Snow Emperor's ethereal ice-blue pupils instantly lost all their luster and became dim.
That's right, that's their spiritual origin.
Don't be fooled by the simplicity of releasing one's spiritual essence; it's not something ordinary soul beasts can do. Only soul beasts that have broken through a major limit and reached a cultivation level of over 100,000 years can perform this feat. For peerless powerhouses like the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, it's naturally no problem at all.
Immediately afterwards, the two halos containing the supreme power of the far north seemed to be drawn by an invisible force.
Slowly, yet with unwavering determination.
They flew toward the golden giant with its dragon wings slightly folded and surrounded by black light.
Seeing this scene before him, the golden giant slightly raised its huge head, its face covered with dragon scales, revealing no expression. Then it suddenly opened its enormous mouth, which seemed capable of swallowing stars!
There was no sound, yet a suction force burst forth without any force!
Like a giant whale swallowing a river, the two emerald green and pale white halos were drawn by this force without any hindrance, turning into two streams of light that instantly disappeared into the golden giant's mouth!
The moment the halo entered his body, the golden giant's massive body trembled violently!
Suddenly, the deep black dragon scales and dark gold patterns on its body erupted with an unprecedented light. Black, white, gold, and turquoise—the four colors—intertwined and clashed wildly within its body, yet under the guidance of some higher-level power, they began to forcefully merge!
At that moment, a golden light suddenly shone from between Tang Chuan's eyebrows, and the soft golden light instantly covered his head, turning his sea of consciousness golden as well.
The golden, gentle, and rhythmic touch protected Tang Chuan's violently fluctuating spiritual sea, like a mother's hand, softly soothing his soul, which was in extreme pain.
This integration did not happen overnight.
The emphasis is on the bone structure before the soul!
Hyotei provided the torso bones!
The emerald green energy, imbued with the domineering power of the Scorpion King and the ultimate icy edge, surged wildly toward Tang Chuan's torso, thoracic vertebrae, ribs, and spine, as if it had found its home!
The emerald green halo seemed to freeze Tang Chuan's entire upper body from the inside out.
Immediately afterwards, his body trembled violently. At that moment, he felt as if something had pierced through his tailbone.
At almost the same time, the head soul bone provided by Xue Di also began to fuse!
That pale white light, which seemed gentle but actually contained the ultimate truth of the icy world and the vast spiritual power, surged straight toward Tang Chuan's head!
Instantly, Tang Chuan felt an intense itch throughout his torso and head, as if hundreds of ants were crawling rapidly on his blood vessels and bones.
The itch was so deep it went to my very bones; it was everywhere.
In that instant, his only thought was to tear his body apart completely and then rub it violently to stop the pain.
A moment later, Tang Chuan trembled violently, his body covered with an abnormal layer of frost, his face was pale with a bluish-gray tinge, his teeth were clenched, and he let out a muffled groan that was suppressed to the extreme.
It seemed as if it could be burst or frozen at any moment by these two terrifying primal forces.
At this critical moment, when the fusion was on the verge of collapse, Xiao Ruier, who had been staying by Tang Chuan's side, her golden eyes filled with worry and determination, suddenly gritted her teeth!
She knew that ordinary soul power assistance was useless and might even interfere with the fusion process. At this moment, the only way was to use her bloodline origin as an imperial auspicious beast, possessing the power of auspiciousness and harmony!
Without the slightest hesitation, in the biting cold wind of the far north, Xiao Ruier swiftly tore open her clothes! Her magnificent dress, like a fallen golden feather, slid to the ground, revealing her flawless, jade-white skin, which trembled slightly with determination.
A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over her, but she seemed completely unaware.
The next second, Xiao Ruier opened her arms and, with an unwavering determination and boundless tenderness, tightly and without reservation hugged Tang Chuan, who was trembling with cold all over, from behind!
The moment their skin touched.
"Buzz—!"
A gentle yet boundless, warm and vibrant golden light.
It suddenly burst forth from Xiao Ruier's delicate body!
This golden light was not scorching, but it carried the power to dispel all cold and nourish all things.
Then, it instantly enveloped the two of them, forming a small golden cocoon that completely isolated them from the harsh cold and snow outside!
This force.
Like the first rays of spring sunshine descending upon a frozen wasteland.
Like a life-giving spring gushing forth from parched earth!
After several hours of agonizing waiting, the fusion of the soul and bones gradually stabilized.
Immediately following, the origin of the soul ring, representing the lifelong cultivation and soul contract of the two emperors, appeared.
And finally, the final fusion began!
The emerald green and pale white halos completely dissolved in Tang Chuan's spiritual sea and meridians, and then surged into the space he had already reserved for his second martial soul, like two roaring glaciers.
Under the central harmonization and guidance of the million-year-old spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Snow Emperor's even more vast and primordial pale white energy took the lead.
It is pure, supreme, and carries the majesty of the laws of ice and snow. It naturally begins to condense and take shape, and then evolves into a completely new form of martial soul.
…………
Three days later.
The eternal blizzards and bitter cold of the far north core region seemed to remain unchanged despite the departure of the two emperors.
Under a leaden gray sky.
A crimson streak of light suddenly tore through the sky, like a fiery meteor flying in reverse, bursting out from the depths of this icy and snowy wasteland, piercing the sky and speeding southward.
Amidst the flowing light, Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier sat astride the broad back of the Crimson King.
Compared to when we ventured deep into the far north three days ago.
Tang Chuan's aura had undergone a subtle yet profound change.
He sat quietly on the back of the Crimson King, his face still somewhat pale, a sign that he had not fully recovered from the double exhaustion of his mental and physical strength. However, his eyes were even more profound and restrained. Occasionally, when he opened and closed his eyes, there seemed to be a flowing icy blue divine light in his left eye, while his right eye was filled with a deep green cold light. His body faintly exuded an extreme chill that made the air slightly stagnant.
Xiao Ruier stood close to him, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind, her beautiful face showing a hint of fatigue, but her eyes remained bright.
The act of helping her three days ago, which involved giving her everything she had, also took a huge toll on her.
But sensing the stable, powerful, and new strength within Tang Chuan's body, a reassuring smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
After flying for about half an hour, far from the oppressive region of the far north core, Xiao Ruier turned her head slightly to look at the silent Tang Chuan beside her and asked softly:
Where do we go next?
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan slowly took out a slightly old but meticulously marked continental map from his pocket. He unfolded the map in his hand, his gaze quickly sweeping across it, his finger moving downwards along the route they had taken from the far north.
The final destination was a city landmark in the northern part of the Star Luo Empire, which was not particularly eye-catching.
"Dragon Rising City".
Tang Chuan's voice was calm and clear, carrying an unwavering resolve.
A hint of doubt flashed in Xiao Ruier's eyes, clearly indicating that she was not familiar with this name.
Tang Chuan lightly drew a line on the map with his finger, diagonally southeast from their approximate location, passing through a city and several mountain ranges.
It eventually connected to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Take this route, a shortcut from the direction of Longxing City," he explained, but his eyes remained fixed on the map. "It's much faster than heading south and going around the border of the Tiandou Empire back to the Xingdou Great Forest."
