Chapter 55 Second Awakening
After Alex’s voice faded away, Huo Yuhao took hold of the purified Soul-Devouring Blade.

At this moment, he only felt a warm breath circulating in it. At the same time, with the contact of Huo Yuhao, a vitality also overflowed from it, as if it was nourishing Huo Yuhao's skin and meridians.

This is because the powerful and condensed vitality contained in the gold of life has turned into a whole, like a small sun, radiating vigorous vitality outwards.

But beneath the appearance of this thick and solid vitality lies the brutal nature of the gold of life.

Through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao was able to analyze the structure of the Gold of Life, and the vitality emanating from the Gold of Life seemed pure and flawless, and was extremely beneficial to humans.

But the reality is not so. It is true that the gold of life contains powerful vitality, but its special structure also makes it impossible for this vitality to be absorbed by people through ordinary means.

How can the life force that has already been transformed into substance be easily absorbed by people?

Although Huo Yuhao felt that the vitality contained in the gold of life seemed to be nourishing himself at this time, this was actually a wrong perception caused by the huge breath of life.

Because the vitality emitted by the gold of life seems to nourish the living being that holds it, but the vitality it contains is a different kind of life energy. Although it is in the human body, it cannot be integrated into the original life structure of the human body.

As the alien life energy brought by the gold of life gradually accumulates, it will also strengthen the vitality of the holder himself, but this amplitude is too slow compared to the speed of accumulation of alien life energy.

During this process, the alien life energy contained in the gold of life, which is too powerful and condensed, will gradually occupy the body of the holder.

Ultimately, under the pressure of the huge alien life energy, the gold of living things will gradually assimilate the life levels of the living things affected by it, causing their life structure to tend toward the structure of the gold of living things.

And when this assimilation process is over, the vitality that originally belonged to the person who holds the Gold of Life will flow back into the Gold of Life under the pressure of the alien life energy.

If this huge vitality cannot be suppressed, then after it completely gets out of control, the holder's vitality will be completely drained by the Gold of Life, and eventually turned into nutrients for the Gold of Life to grow stronger.

This is also why, after obtaining the Gold of Life, the evil soul master used evil means to influence it, using resentment to amplify the aspect of the Gold of Life that tended to devour and assimilate.

It's not that he didn't envy this huge vitality, but because he had a mountain of treasure but couldn't use it. In the end, he could only choose a more wasteful method, which was to transform the gold of life into the Soul-Devouring Sword, although the effect of the Soul-Devouring Sword was not as good as that of the fully activated gold of life.

Moreover, this kind of operation is not like begging with a golden bowl, but at least it can convert the gold of living beings into cash for use instead of just keeping it as a collection.

Because the gold of life is a very powerful metal, it can even be considered a natural treasure close to the god level. For those who have not reached the god level, they cannot find a way to use it even if they just want to use it.

Among the holders of the gold of life, the most unfortunate one is the golden hawksbill turtle in the Star Dou Great Forest, which had reached the level of 100,000 years.

By chance, he snatched food from the tiger's mouth, dived into the Lake of Life, and swallowed a piece of Gold of Life. However, because he could not control the vitality in the Gold of Life, ultimately a large amount of his own vitality was transformed into nourishment for the Gold of Life.

Its cultivation level even dropped directly from 100,000 years to 10,000 years, and its life was close to exhaustion. In the original book, this golden hawksbill turtle finally turned into Xu Sanshi's soul, thus getting rid of the bone-sucking absorption of the gold of living things.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Emperor Tian already knew what the golden hawksbill turtle did, but just let it act, wanting to wait until it finally died suddenly before recovering the gold of life.

However, to sum up, if the right method is not used, the best way to use it may be to soak the Gold of Life in water. The life energy overflowing from it can nourish the water source, making it rich in vitality that can be absorbed by the human body.

But with Alex protecting him, Huo Yuhao was not worried about not being able to make perfect use of the gold of life.

After a while, Electrolux's voice sounded again: "Okay, Yuhao, put it on your forehead, then you should concentrate and feel the changes in it. It will be of great benefit to you in the future."

'Leave the rest to me.'

Huo Yuhao nodded and placed the Soul-Devouring Knife between his eyebrows.

Afterwards, the aura of Alex's spiritual consciousness was released from Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​​​consciousness, and it came out from his forehead and was injected into the Soul-Devouring Knife. Then the vitality in the Soul-Devouring Knife seemed to be stimulated and suddenly bloomed.

However, under the control of Alex's spiritual consciousness, the alien life force in the gold of life, which was originally stubborn and difficult to absorb, seemed to show signs of wavering.

The transformed life energy first flowed into Huo Yuhao's body, and changed based on Huo Yuhao's own life level, while making subtle adjustments to Huo Yuhao's body.

Huo Yuhao's life breath and the life breath of the gold of life, two originally different life breaths, gradually became synchronized under the guidance of Alex's spiritual consciousness. The auras began to become similar and then merged.

Although the power of Alex's spiritual consciousness is not large in quantity, it is extremely pure. In the process of harmonizing the two life breaths, with the help of the replenishment of life energy, the tiny spiritual consciousness began to gradually become complete and strong, and the process of harmonizing the life breath became more and more smooth.

First it was the sea of ​​​​spirituality, and then the vitality was like a wave, baptizing Huo Yuhao's whole body. The eight extraordinary meridians and internal organs all became tough under the influence of this vitality.

Huo Yuhao's bones and muscles also began to change, and the magic potion energy that had not been fully absorbed was completely shattered and integrated into Huo Yuhao's body.

At this time, Huo Yuhao's physique had undergone a qualitative leap. His physique, which had already reached the level of Soul Master, had now reached the level of Soul Sect.

And this is just a prelude to absorbing the Gold of Life. Because in order to absorb the Gold of Life, it is necessary to ensure that the holder will not be counterattacked by the Gold of Life.

Alex adjusted the life breath of Huo Yuhao and the Soul-Devouring Knife precisely for the purpose of doing this. Strengthening Huo Yuhao's physique was just a side effect.

As the life breaths of the two were adjusted to the same frequency, the vitality that had been continuously flowing into Huo Yuhao's body stopped, and then the Soul-Devouring Knife stabbed directly towards Huo Yuhao's forehead.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea seemed to be torn apart. Severe pain came over him, and the originally stable spiritual sea began to tremble violently.

However, Huo Yuhao endured the pain at the moment and observed the changes in his sea of ​​​​spirituality due to the entry of the Soul-Devouring Knife through the perspective of the Eye of Truth that could not be described in words.

Somewhere in the dark, the shackles that originally bound his martial soul began to loosen, as if some key point had been opened. At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt that his vision was clearer than ever before.

Everything seemed so clear, even some soul skills, soul rings, and rune structures that had originally seemed complicated, although they could be seen through but difficult to understand in a short period of time began to become simple.

The knowledge about them emerged in Huo Yuhao's mind. Huo Yuhao felt as if he was gradually understanding everything, but he also knew that this was more of an illusion.

Then, a huge amount of life force washed over Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. The spiritual sea, which had originally begun to break and shake, began to expand with the help of this huge amount of life force. "Oh my god, what happened?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was awakened, staring at the scene in front of him in the spiritual sea with his eyes wide open.

At this time, Alex, who could only turn into a small gray ball, turned into his original form, an old man in white clothes with an old face. He smiled slightly at Huo Yuhao's consciousness that appeared in the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

"The most difficult step has been completed. The potential contained in Yuhao's body is more outstanding than I imagined."

"I believe that one day you will be able to reach the level I once was, or even surpass me and reach a higher level."

"After receiving the help of the Gold of Life, I no longer have any worries about my spiritual consciousness."

"In return, when you reach the fiftyth level in this world, I will teach you all the knowledge I can remember. I only hope that you can stick to your original intention and not make any mistakes."

Then a green light gate appeared in front of Alex, and then disappeared after he stepped into it.

He only left the last sentence: "You can contact me normally through mental power. Now, go and do what you want to do."

"Ah? What happened?" At this time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was still in a confused state. How come he seemed to be out of touch with the world after just a nap?

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Brother Tianmeng, you can check the records of your spiritual clone later. Now help me protect the law. I want to prepare to complete the second awakening of the martial soul that I conceived last time."

"Oh, I see!" Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expression became serious.

Huo Yuhao’s spiritual consciousness regained control of his body. At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Knife that had pierced into Huo Yuhao’s head was still trembling slightly, and it gradually softened and turned into a green liquid form and merged into Huo Yuhao’s head.

At the same time, the gray spiritual consciousness belonging to Alex was also stabilizing the position of the fused Soul-Devouring Knife during this process.

The muscles and bones that were torn apart by the Soul-Devouring Knife were transformed and fused, gradually turning into a structure shaped like an eye.

At the same time, the intense pain was also stimulating Huo Yuhao. It was more painful than opening up the sea of ​​​​spiritual before, but Huo Yuhao knew that now was the best opportunity to awaken his martial soul. If he missed this opportunity, he would not know when he would have to wait.

Although he can later use the huge vitality brought by the gold of life to develop and awaken step by step.

But he knew that awakening like that was definitely not as good as the one at this moment. He felt that the changes that had just taken place in his martial soul were fading.

Under the influence of the Gold of Life, the original feeling of the Eye of Truth that seemed to see through everything was gradually disappearing.

All of Huo Yuhao's mental and soul power started to operate, and with the huge vitality brought by the gold of life, Huo Yuhao's mental and soul power seemed to be recovering continuously.

According to the method deduced before, Huo Yuhao entered the awakening state, followed by even stronger stimulation, which prompted Huo Yuhao's martial soul to change.

As a result, the third eye that appeared between the eyebrows also began to change at the same time.

Golden light and shadow began to emerge behind Huo Yuhao, and a pair of deep eyes appeared in the air, with circles of gradually shrinking rings in the eyes.

However, Huo Yuhao had no intention of observing at this moment. Instead, he concentrated on promoting his soul power and mental strength to maintain the stimulation of his martial soul.

If he went to check later, he would find that the huge eye phantom formed by the golden light and shadow was not the same appearance and structure as the real eye but was more complicated.

With the continuous blessing of vitality, soul power, and mental power, the golden shadow became more and more stable, and finally began to shrink and merge into the center of Huo Yuhao's eyebrows, and the pupils between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows changed again.

It changed from its original appearance to a smaller version of the huge phantom, and then closed up, leaving only an inconspicuous black vertical line between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows.

Only at this point did Huo Yuhao finally relax, and the terrible pain that had been sweeping across his body finally ended.

Huo Yuhao could no longer hold on at this point, and let his body fall down, sprawling on the bed. He felt that at this moment, every muscle, nerve, and bone in his body did not want to move anymore.

Allowing the external body to adapt and rest, Huo Yuhao's spiritual consciousness returned to his own spiritual sea.

After being baptized by the Gold of Life and the second awakening of his martial soul, Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea had undergone earth-shaking changes.

This is different from the original novel where there is a green bead made of gold from living things hanging high in the air.

At this moment, a huge eye in the sea of ​​consciousness was staring straight at Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also felt as if he had a second perspective, coming from this huge eye.

"Is this the second awakening of my martial soul?" Huo Yuhao wanted to observe this eye through the Eye of Truth, but he was unable to do so.

However, Huo Yuhao was not surprised. After all, this attempt was like stepping on the left foot with the right foot to reach the sky.

If this eye is the second awakening of the Eye of Truth, how can the Eye of Truth analyze it?

Although the more powerful the second awakening of the martial soul is, the greater the consumption in using it.

But this is not a problem for Huo Yuhao, who has the Gold of Life as a backup hidden energy source.

This also means that Huo Yuhao finally has a trump card that belongs entirely to him and can be used.

Compared to Alex and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, although the power of the second awakening of the martial soul depends on Huo Yuhao's own strength and is not as strong as the two of them, it can be used legitimately and openly.
