Chapter 178 - Chapter 178 Can I... Really Become a God?

Inside the Extreme Pool, the icy pool water was as deep as ink.Huo Yuhao's body floated in the depths of the pool water, the surrounding ten thousand year profound ice marrow released a milky white halo, wrapping his entire person within. His Meridians, under the repair of the pool water, were nearing completion; the broken Meridians reconnected, becoming even tougher and broader than before.However, the real change was occurring deep within his body.Huo Yuhao's second spirit—the Frost Velvet Ice Mite—was originally an extremely weak Spirit that the Snow Empress had designed to trap him into obtaining. But now, under the nourishment of the Extreme Pool's extreme cold environment and the ten thousand year profound ice marrow, the Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit was undergoing an incredible transformation.Deep within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.A tiny, snow-white creature floated there, its body barely an inch long, covered in a layer of fine white fuzz that looked like clusters of frost and snow. Six slender legs were curled together, and its head was tiny; if not for careful identification, one would almost think it was just a floating snowflake.This was the Frost Velvet Ice Mite.However, at this moment, this phantom of the Frost Velvet Ice Mite, which should have been unremarkable, was undergoing a startling change.The extreme cold power contained in the pool water surged into Huo Yuhao's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. Together with the ten thousand year profound ice marrow in the pool water, it was frantically absorbed by the Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit. For every bit of cold it absorbed, the white fuzz on the phantom's surface solidified a bit more; the originally soft fuzz began to become crystal clear, as if every strand was being recast by ice crystals.Even more surprising was that the Frost Velvet Ice Mite's size was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. From its original inch-long size, it gradually expanded to three inches, five inches, seven inches... Its six legs were also becoming longer and thicker, and ice-blue barbs began to grow from its once thread-thin tips, flickering with a cold glint.At the same time, Huo Yuhao's shattered Meridians were also undergoing subtle changes. Under the guidance of the Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit, a thin layer of white downy substance began to form on the walls of his Meridians. That fuzz was soft yet tough, like laying a warm velvet blanket over the Meridians.The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rapidly floated up from the bottom of the pool. When he returned to where Huo Yuhao was, he saw the changes happening to Huo Yuhao at a glance.The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm carefully observed the white downy patterns appearing on the surface of Huo Yuhao's body. Those lines spread from his chest to his limbs, finally converging on his back, outlining a pattern in the shape of spread wings."As expected... under the nourishment of the pool water and the effect of the ten thousand year profound ice marrow, Little Yuhao's Spirit is undergoing a transformation!"A look of wild joy appeared in the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes.A faint but pure aura radiated from within Huo Yuhao's body.The extreme cold power in the pool water surged into Huo Yuhao's body even more violently, as if the entire Extreme Pool was responding to his Spirit's transformation. The milky white halo released by the ten thousand year profound ice marrow complemented the white downy patterns on Huo Yuhao's body, wrapping his body into a giant light cocoon.Inside the light cocoon, Huo Yuhao's eyebrows twitched slightly.The moment the Meridians were repaired, an unprecedented sense of power surged from every part of his body. He could feel icy energy flowing through his blood, with every heartbeat delivering this energy to all parts of his body. And on his back, something was growing and extending, as if about to burst out from his body.Those were the Ice Crystal Thin Wings of the Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit.Although it was only a transformation at the Spirit level, the feedback from this transformation was enough to change Huo Yuhao's Physique. His bones became tougher, ice-attribute energy was interwoven within his muscle fibers, and even a faint white downy light appeared on the surface of his skin.Finally—The light cocoon shattered.Huo Yuhao's eyes snapped open.In those eyes, the originally deep black pupils now shimmered with an ice-blue brilliance. Deep within the pupils, a six-winged ice mite phantom could be seen dancing. A thin layer of frost covered his body, and every breath he took brought out a white cold mist."I... am still alive?"Huo Yuhao's voice was a bit raspy. He looked down at his own body. With just one glance, he noticed the changes in his body.The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's head leaned in, his eyes full of relief and excitement."Yuhao! You're finally awake!"Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm."Brother Tianmeng, I..." Huo Yuhao wanted to say something but was urgently interrupted by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm."Yuhao, don't be in a hurry to feel the changes in your body. I have something important to tell you—there's something down there in the Extreme Pool!"The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone was unusually solemn. His gaze turned toward the darker passage leading to the bottom of the Extreme Pool."I just went down to investigate. This Extreme Pool is far more than what it appears to be on the surface. At a depth of sixty feet at the bottom of the pool, there is a palace.""A palace?" Huo Yuhao was stunned."Yes, an ice-blue palace." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was very low, like a thief. "The aura radiating from that palace... is enough to make me tremble."Huo Yuhao's heart tightened slightly.The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm possessed a million years of cultivation. Although his combat strength wasn't high, his mental force and perception far surpassed that of an ordinary Vicious Beast. Just how terrifying must an existence be to make him tremble?"What is it?""I'm not sure... but the feeling that aura gives me doesn't seem like any Spirit Beast or Heaven And Earth Treasure." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's gaze became profound. "It's more like... a God."This word was like a thunderclap, exploding in Huo Yuhao's mind."A God?"The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded vigorously. "Your current strength isn't enough, but that palace is very likely the Legacy site of a God. If you can obtain the God's Legacy, your future path will be infinitely smoother. What's more—"He paused, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes. "Your second spirit has already been reborn; it's no longer that useless Spirit it was before."Hearing this, a trace of daze appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes."Can I... can I really obtain the God's Legacy?""Of course! Don't forget, the reason why I became an unprecedented wisdom spirit ring was to help you become a God! Now, a God Position Legacy might be right before our eyes!"Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming excited."Alright! In that case... let's go down now!"Under the guidance of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao quickly dove downward. The icy pool water wrapped around his body, but now he didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.The evolved Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit gave him a stronger ability to adapt to extreme cold environments, even giving him a faint sense of comfort, like a fish in water.
