The transformation of spiritual power was one thing; although Shen Hanyu was delighted, that was all there was to it.
What he truly cared about right now was the million-year spiritual head soul bone from Tianmeng.
Shen Hanyu directed his perception into the soul guide device, and at a glance, he spotted that distinctive skull bone.
This soul bone emitted a faint blue and golden glow, with spiritual power flowing across it. The entire bone seemed forged from gemstone, yet upon closer inspection, it resembled premium crystal. As he slowly approached, he could also feel a faint chill, mysterious and profound like eternal ice.
This was a soul bone of extreme quality and appearance, unmatched by any in the current world, a supreme soul bone. But now, it belonged to Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu's hands trembled slightly as he held the soul bone. Though he was a relatively calm and composed person, at this moment, cradling this soul bone, his passionate heart beat violently, making his breathing quicken involuntarily.
Although his soul guide device already contained a ten-thousand-year Earth Cave Demon Spider head soul bone, compared to this one, it was like one was a gem and the other dust, utterly incomparable.
Calming his emotions, Shen Hanyu slowly pressed this supreme soul bone against his forehead. Then, he gradually circulated his soul power. The soul bone instantly merged into his flesh and blood, formally beginning the absorption process.
The imagined pain did not occur. Instead, an incomparably clear sensation with a hint of coolness appeared in Shen Hanyu's perception, making his mind and mood feel extraordinarily smooth and refreshed.
Since Tianmeng had sacrificed itself willingly, and it had already bonded with Shen Hanyu for a long period, absorbing this soul bone naturally posed no danger; there was no risk of spiritual shock or backlash from the soul beast's remnant soul.
Shen Hanyu's sea of spirit did not disappoint either. After this soul bone entered his body, the sky and land, originally hidden in endless mist, began to gradually clear up.
Green grass and fresh flowers also sprouted on the newly exposed land. Though there were no signs of life or living beings, it still held a unique charm.
Just as Tianmeng watched the changing sea of spirit with satisfaction, preparing to roll around happily on the soft grass, a sudden mutation occurred.
An ice-blue diamond-shaped crystal radiating extreme cold appeared from nowhere, piercing through Shen Hanyu's scalp at a speed almost imperceptible and forcibly entering his sea of spirit.
Shen Hanyu let out a muffled groan. Crimson blood flowed down his handsome cheek, but soon after, an ice-blue energy slowly emerged from his body. In moments, his damaged forehead healed completely, only now bearing an additional ice-blue diamond-shaped mark on his smooth brow.
In the sea of spirit.
Tianmeng stared blankly at the rotating diamond-shaped crystal above. In the next moment, Tianmeng instantly reacted.
Damn it, someone was trying to steal the nest from bro! Could Tianmeng bro tolerate this? No! Absolutely not!
Tianmeng flew into a rage, mobilizing the power in the sea of spirit to launch frantic attacks toward the diamond-shaped crystal.
Facing the terrifying assault, the diamond-shaped crystal merely released a faint ice-blue chill. The spiritual power was instantly frozen mid-air, unable to advance an inch.
Tianmeng was dumbfounded, nearly forgetting who it was and what it was about to do...
Even the Ice Emperor's ultimate ice could not easily freeze spiritual power, yet this diamond-shaped crystal, no larger than a child's palm, had done so effortlessly.
Just as Tianmeng prepared to forcibly wake Shen Hanyu and the two of them fled for their lives, the diamond-shaped crystal halted its next action. It simply hovered quietly above the sea of spirit, retracting all the previous chill as if nothing had happened.
Only then did Tianmeng cautiously raise its head, looking at this ice-blue crystal, which bore no difference from other gems or crystals, with some fear, swallowing hard.
Shen Hanyu was still absorbing the soul bone. Unless something catastrophic occurred, Tianmeng truly did not want to disturb him casually. If any issue arose, a minor injury would be one thing, but if his spirit were damaged, that would be a grave sin on its part.
For now, the only option was to wait until Shen Hanyu awakened.
Tianmeng thought this way, while cautiously mobilizing spiritual power to gently envelop the diamond-shaped crystal.
Fortunately, the diamond-shaped crystal showed no reaction, as if it lacked consciousness, allowing itself to be slowly wrapped until it completely lost its glow...
Tianmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, twisting its body to hide far away, silently praying in its heart for Shen Hanyu to wake up soon...
...
Seven hours passed.
Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he heard was Tianmeng's heart-wrenching wail:
"Hanyu ah, you've finally woken up! Hurry and save bro, ah—"
Shen Hanyu was unusually dazed. His impression of the events during this period was limited to a sharp pain in his forehead; he had no other sensations.
Waving his hand, he formed an ice wall in front of him. Through the reflection on the ice surface, even in the dark environment, Shen Hanyu easily saw the diamond-shaped mark that had appeared on his forehead.
Introspecting his sea of spirit, Shen Hanyu immediately noticed the crystal now emitting chill. The ice-attribute energy contained within stunned even Shen Hanyu, who possessed the ultimate ice attribute.
Thinking of this, Shen Hanyu suddenly recalled a possibility, causing his entire body to tremble.
Tianmeng was still wailing, hiding directly behind Shen Hanyu, fearfully watching the diamond-shaped crystal above.
Yet Shen Hanyu ignored it, stepping toward the diamond-shaped crystal one step at a time, paying no heed to Tianmeng's calls from behind.
As Shen Hanyu slowly reached out and grasped the crystal, the mark on his forehead suddenly glowed. A drop of blood slowly flew out from it, directly merging into the diamond-shaped crystal.
As the crystal burst into dazzling blue light, countless memory fragments surged into his mind, playing like slides before his eyes...
Shen Hanyu didn't know how to describe it. An intense headache allowed him to clearly see only a few scattered fragments.
In one fragment, there was an icy-cold female figure, like eternal ice, wielding an ice-blue longsword, standing before countless people. The piercing chill seemed capable of directly freezing space.
In another fragment, the world was blood-red. Countless corpses and flesh rained from the sky, filled with painful wails. A majestic figure was cleaved in two by a sword beam carrying terrifying killing intent. Then, countless giant dragons fought madly like crazed beasts, and that ice-blue figure was right among them.
But unlike the other giant dragons and humans, this figure seemed to have no precise enemies. The humans and dragons that died under her sword numbered terrifyingly many. With blood-red eyes, after slaying the last enemy, she gazed remotely in Shen Hanyu's direction, her lips seemingly curling into a mocking arc. Then, without hesitation, she self-detonated. Dazzling light nearly illuminated the entire world.
