Sudden Change

Chapter 60 Sudden Change

The transformation of his mental strength was one thing, and although Shen Hanyu was pleasantly surprised, that was all there was to it.

What he is really concerned about right now is the million-year-old spiritual head bone from Tianmeng.

Shen Hanyu sensed his way into the soul tool and immediately saw the unusual skull.

This soul bone emitted a faint blue and gold glow, with spiritual power flowing across it. It seemed to be cast from a gemstone, but upon closer inspection, it resembled a top-grade crystal. As one slowly approached, one could feel a chilling aura, as mysterious and unpredictable as ancient ice.

This is a soul bone of the highest quality and appearance. There is no super soul bone in the world that can compare with it, but now it belongs to Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu's hands trembled slightly as he held the soul bone. Although he was a relatively calm and composed person, his heart was pounding violently as he held the soul bone, making his breathing quicken.

Although he already had a ten-thousand-year-old head bone of a cave spider in his soul tool, compared to this soul bone, it was like comparing a gem to dust, with no comparison whatsoever.

After calming down, Shen Hanyu slowly placed the top-grade super soul bone on his forehead, then slowly circulated his soul power. In an instant, the soul bone entered his flesh and blood and began to be absorbed.

The imagined pain did not occur. Instead, a feeling of unparalleled clarity mixed with a slight coolness appeared in Shen Hanyu's perception. For a moment, he felt his mind and emotions were incredibly smooth and cheerful.

Since Tianmeng sacrificed herself voluntarily, and she had been in sync with Shen Hanyu for a long time, there was naturally no danger in absorbing this soul bone. There was absolutely no possibility of mental shock or backlash from the remnant soul of a soul beast.

Shen Hanyu's spiritual sea did not disappoint. After the soul bone entered his body, the sky and land that were originally hidden in endless mist began to slowly become clear.

Green grass and flowers have grown on the exposed land. Although there is no life or signs of life, it still has a unique charm.

Just as Tianmeng was watching the changing spiritual sea with satisfaction, and was about to roll around on the soft grass, a sudden change occurred.

A rhombus-shaped, icy blue crystal radiating extreme cold appeared out of nowhere and pierced Shen Hanyu's scalp at an almost imperceptible speed, forcibly entering his sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Hanyu groaned, and bright red blood flowed down his handsome profile. But soon, a surge of icy blue energy slowly emanated from his body. In a short while, Shen Hanyu's damaged forehead was restored to its original state, except that an icy blue diamond-shaped mark suddenly appeared on his smooth forehead.

In the sea of ​​the spirit.

Tianmeng stared blankly at the constantly rotating rhomboid crystal above her, but in the next moment, she instantly realized what was happening.

Good heavens, someone's trying to steal my nest! Can you, Tianmeng, tolerate this? No! Absolutely not!

Tianmeng was furious and mobilized the power in her spiritual sea to launch a frenzied attack on the rhombus-shaped crystal.

Faced with the terrifying attack, the rhombus crystal only emitted a faint icy blue chill, and those spiritual powers were directly frozen in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.

Tianmeng was dumbfounded, almost forgetting who she was and what she was about to do...

Even the ultimate ice of Hyotei could not easily freeze spiritual power, yet this rhomboid crystal, no bigger than a child's palm, did so with such ease.

Just as Tianmeng was about to forcibly wake Shen Hanyu and the other person to run away into the factory with the bucket, the rhombus-shaped crystal stopped moving and simply floated quietly above the sea of ​​consciousness. The previous chill was completely withdrawn, as if nothing had happened.

Tianmeng cautiously raised her head, looking somewhat fearfully at the ice-blue crystal that was no different from any other gemstone or crystal, and swallowed hard.

Shen Hanyu was still absorbing the soul bone. Tianmeng really didn't want to disturb him at this time unless something terrible happened. If any problems arose, injury would be a minor issue, but if his spirit was damaged, the consequences would be much greater.

For now, all we can do is wait for Shen Hanyu to wake up.

Tianmeng thought to herself, and at the same time carefully mobilized her spiritual power to gently envelop the rhombus-shaped crystal.

Fortunately, the rhombus-shaped crystal didn't react much; it was slowly enveloped as if it were unconscious, and finally lost its light completely...

Tianmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly twisting her body to hide far away, silently praying that Shen Hanyu would wake up soon...

…………

Seven hours passed.

Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he heard was Tianmeng's heart-wrenching wail:

"Hanyu, you're finally awake! Come quickly and save your brother, ah—"

Shen Hanyu was unusually dazed. His only memory of what happened during that time was a sharp pain on his forehead; he felt nothing else.

With a wave of his hand, he created an ice wall in front of him. Through the reflection of the ice surface, even in the dark environment, Shen Hanyu could easily see that there was a diamond-shaped mark on his forehead.

Looking inward into his spiritual sea, Shen Hanyu immediately noticed the crystal that was now emitting a chilling aura. The ice-attribute energy contained within it startled even Shen Hanyu, who possessed the ultimate ice attribute.

Thinking of this, Shen Hanyu suddenly realized a possibility and couldn't help but shudder.

Tianmeng was still wailing when she hid behind Shen Hanyu, looking fearfully at the rhombus-shaped crystal above.

Shen Hanyu ignored her calls and walked step by step toward the rhombus-shaped crystal, ignoring Tianmeng's calls from behind.

As Shen Hanyu slowly reached out and grasped the crystal, the mark on his forehead suddenly glowed, and a drop of blood slowly flew out and disappeared into the rhombus-shaped crystal.

As the crystal burst forth with a dazzling blue light, countless fragments of memories flooded into his mind, playing out before his eyes like a slideshow…

Shen Hanyu didn't know how to describe it; the severe headache meant he could only see a few scattered fragments.

In one scene, a woman, as cold as ice that has stood for millennia, stands before countless people, holding an ice-blue longsword. Her piercing chill seems capable of freezing the very fabric of space.

In another scene, the world is a blood-red expanse, with countless corpses and flesh falling from the sky. The air is filled with cries of agony. A majestic figure is cleaved in two by a sword beam imbued with terrifying killing intent. Then, countless dragons fight like madmen, and the icy blue figure happens to be among them.

Unlike other dragons and humans, this figure seemed to have no specific enemy. The number of humans and dragons who died under her sword was terrifying. With bloodshot eyes, she glanced in the direction of Shen Hanyu after killing the last enemy, and a mocking smile seemed to appear on her lips. Then, she self-destructed with absolute decisiveness, and the dazzling light almost illuminated the entire world.
