Twilight deepened, the lightning tribulation ceased, the thick clouds above the firmament slowly dissipated, and the dust settled.
At this moment, only Huo Yuhao's piercing eyes emitted a determined light. He reached out his hand, and lying on his palm was a crystal-clear pill—the Living Bone Blood Fusing Pill. It emitted a faint red light in the dimness, as if containing the hope of rebirth.
Bibi Dong's divine consciousness floated in front of Huo Yuhao, her expression incomparably complex. She reached out, gently touching the pill with her fingertip. Feeling its warm texture, waves of emotion began to rise in her heart. She knew that this pill represented Huo Yuhao's countless days and nights of effort over the years; it was the condensation of all his painstaking care.
Just at the moment she was about to take the pill, a warm smile squeezed onto Huo Yuhao's exhausted face.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish his sentence, his vision went black. Refining the Living Bone Blood Fusing Pill had exhausted his spiritual power; holding on until now was entirely due to his willpower.
"Yuhao!" Bibi Dong hurriedly reached out to catch him, but her wisp of divine consciousness was too weak. The only reason she could touch the pill earlier was due to the special nature of the Living Bone Blood Fusing Pill.
Gu Yuena was quick with her eyes and hands. She had been paying attention to Huo Yuhao's state the entire time. The moment Huo Yuhao's body tilted, a flash of silver light acted upon him, teleporting his body to her side.
"His consumption is a bit large, but otherwise he is fine. I will look after him for now," Gu Yuena transmitted her voice to Bibi Dong.
Looking at the young man lying on Gu Yuena's lap, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Bibi Dong's heart, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable.
Seeming to sense Bibi Dong's gaze, a strange emotion also rose in Gu Yuena's quiet and beautiful eyes. She spoke, "You should adjust your own condition. Resurrecting a deity is not that easy."
Bibi Dong nodded silently. In her current state, she couldn't compare to Gu Yuena in any aspect.
In mid-air, Xie Huanyue released his Martial Soul Avatar and slowly descended. Maintaining that state consumed an extreme amount of qi, blood, and soul power, causing him to look shriveled and dried up now, like an eighty-year-old bad old man.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was fine, he felt relieved and simply sat in meditation on the spot, absorbing dragon power to replenish his consumption...
The night passed without words—
Early the next morning, in a cave dwelling in the Dragon Valley.
"Your Majesty, the body refining is about to begin. Are you ready?" Huo Yuhao gently placed Aphrodite's skeleton, which he had taken out of the Yin Yang Love Query Valley, onto the stone platform, then turned his gaze to Bibi Dong at the side and smiled.
At the same time, Ning Tian, Ye Linlin, and Ju Zi were also present.
"Just do your best." Bibi Dong nodded solemnly. At this moment, even with her state of mind settled over ten thousand years, she couldn't help but feel ripples of emotion.
"Ju Zi, this body refining and fusion process may take some time. During this period, do not let anyone come in to disturb me." Huo Yuhao turned his gaze, looking at Ju Zi and the others, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Don't worry." Although Ju Zi and the other girls had learned of Bibi Dong's identity from Huo Yuhao, it was still somewhat difficult to accept in such a short time.
If Huo Yuhao was really going to resurrect Bibi Dong, then they would gain another god-level helper!
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, gradually calming his mind. After a moment, he took a deep breath, reached out, and made a grasping motion. The jade bottle containing the Living Bone Blood Fusing Pill floated over from Bibi Dong's hand.
Bibi Dong had heard Huo Yuhao explain the resurrection steps hundreds of times, so she naturally remembered them by heart. Without any hesitation, she quickly separated a wisp of divine consciousness, which flew out and hovered beside Huo Yuhao.
Seeing Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong begin, Ning Tian, Ye Linlin, and the others glanced at each other and quietly retreated to a certain distance, not making the slightest sound to disturb the two.
Huo Yuhao looked solemn. He grabbed that wisp of Bibi Dong's divine consciousness and then slapped his palm onto the skeleton on the stone platform, forcefully driving this divine consciousness into the bone.
"Your Majesty, I will refine the body first. Once successful, you enter it to complete the first step of fusion!"
Huo Yuhao gave a low shout and grasped his hand. A jade bottle appeared in his hand. Seven-colored blood flowed slowly inside the jade bottle, and amazing energy fluctuations permeated from it, causing the space to tremble incessantly.
What the jade bottle contained was naturally the Dragon God Blood Essence formed by the fusion of the Golden and Silver Dragon King bloodlines. At Huo Yuhao's request, Gu Yuena had also contributed her own blood and controlled it to fuse with the Golden Dragon King's blood into this bottle of blood essence.
"God of Love, pardon the offense!"
With a flick of his finger, all the seven-colored blood essence in the jade bottle shot out, finally splashing onto the lustrous white skeleton. Immediately, bursts of white smoke erupted, and sizzling sounds could be heard endlessly.
As soon as the seven-colored blood stained the white skeleton, the seven colors spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the color of the skeleton changed from lustrous white to a magnificent seven-colored hue. Moreover, faintly, rich energy fluctuations were emitted from within the skeleton.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao raised his palm, and the seven-colored skeleton automatically floated up. With a wave of his sleeve, three flames suddenly surged out, completely wrapping the skeleton.
The Dragon God Blood Essence was quite domineering and difficult to fuse. Therefore, he had to use three types of flames to roast these energies deep into every part of the bone. Only in this way could the skeleton truly absorb all of this amazing energy.
Accompanied by the raging roasting of the flames, a subtle seven-colored light shield appeared on the seven-colored skeleton. However, even so, the high temperature penetrating inside still caused fine bubbles to appear on the surface of the skeleton. Occasionally, when the bubbles burst, rich energy would diffuse out.
This tempering and roasting was a rather time-consuming process. Therefore, it lasted for nearly a whole day before Huo Yuhao's slightly closed eyes slowly opened.
At this moment, the seven-colored hue on the skeleton had undoubtedly become much duller, no longer possessing the bright color from before. However, Huo Yuhao, who understood this, knew that this was because the energy had gradually penetrated deep into the skeleton under the high temperature.
Exhaling a long breath, Huo Yuhao glanced at Bibi Dong by the side. The latter was also full of astonishment. Huo Yuhao's fire control technique now was in no way inferior to the top alchemy grandmasters on the continent.
After a long period of tempering, the originally lustrous white skeleton had changed its appearance greatly. The whole body presented a seven-colored hue, deep and dull in color.
Obviously, after being roasted by the three special flames in Huo Yuhao's hands, that bit of Dragon God Blood Essence had completely fused with the skeleton.
Outputting soul power for a long time to fuel three powerful flames was something even Huo Yuhao found difficult to bear. That was why he called Ning Tian and Ye Linlin, the two auxiliary system soul masters, over, while Ju Zi provided him with food.
"Now!" Huo Yuhao stared at the skeleton in front of him and spoke abruptly.
