"Don't ask so many questions right now, our top priority is to resurrect Yuqiao. Focus!" the shadowy figure told Chen Hao.
Chen Hao grunted in acknowledgement, then channeled all the remaining Nether King's Power within him into his right hand.
Half a minute later, the shadowy figure spoke again, "If you want to know all about this, go find those people from the City of Yin and Time."
That was the last thing he said to Chen Hao.
After speaking, the shadowy figure dissolved into particles of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul, flowing into Chen Hao's body and fusing with him.
At the same time, Chen Hao finally safely extracted the Nether King's Heart from his body.
Seeing this, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body let out a long sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, and then she focused on dealing with the surrounding demons and beastmen.
Chen Hao opened his eyes, first looked back with a sigh of disappointment; then turned to look at the two halves of the Nether King's Heart in his hands, his excitement beyond words.
After taking several deep breaths, his hands slowly approached each other, piecing the two halves of the Nether King's Heart together.
At that moment, a pale blue light shone from the now-complete Nether King's Heart, gradually replacing the previous black luster, turning it crystal clear, like an ice crystal.
This was its original form—the Glacier Heart.
Feeling the unbearably cold air, Chen Hao had to let go of his hands. He then realized he no longer possessed the Nether King's Power!
He could no longer wield immense Spiritual Power like before, nor was he immortal anymore.
This sudden realization made him somewhat frightened.
Surrounding him were demons and beastmen with tremendous power, and if he were to die at their hands by any misstep, he would not wake up again.
Subsequently, the Glacier Heart slowly rose, breaking through the Barrier Chen Hao had cast around himself.
As the Glacier Heart ascended into the air, countless particles of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul flowed out from it, rising into the sky.
"Ah!" Chen Hao's heart trembled violently. His Yuqiao was amongst those Primordial Spirits and Primordial Souls.
Immediately, he hurriedly took out the Soul-collecting Bottle containing Ye Yuqiao's Yin Soul, Primordial Spirit, and Primordial Soul particles from his bosom, shakily opened it, and poured out all the Yin Soul's Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul particles.
Discarding the Soul-collecting Bottle, he closed his eyes and began to perform the forbidden ritual of resurrection on the Primordial Spirits and Primordial Souls in the air.
"Quick, interrupt that kid!" At that moment, a Nine-tailed Fox Demon pointed at Chen Hao and yelled.
No sooner had the Nine-tailed Fox Demon's words fallen than several beastmen near Chen Hao shifted their gaze onto him and leaped toward Chen Hao.
Chen Hao, focused on his incantation, did not hear the Nine-tailed Fox Demon's voice and was unaware of the danger approaching him.
"Chen Hao, be careful!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body shouted, rushing toward Chen Hao in an attempt to prevent the beastmen from interrupting him.
But just then, six or seven huge tails suddenly attacked her, carrying a bewildering skunk-like odor, blocking her path.
She instantly became infuriated, dodging the attacks of the tails left and right, then embraced one of the tails with her hands, which turned into fire, roasting the Nine-tailed Fox Demon to a crisp.
However, delayed by the Nine-tailed Fox Demon, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was a step too late.
The beastmen had already reached Chen Hao's side.
And Xie Xiaofeng, Ou Yuanlin, and Xiao Bai were deep in a surrounded and pinched battle.
"Chen Hao!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body screamed shrilly. She, of course, knew that Chen Hao, who now lacked the Nether King's Heart, was no longer immortal.
Bright red blood splattered before her eyes.
Her eyes suddenly widened, shooting forth a brilliant light, then her face broke into a pleased smile.
Lying in a pool of their own blood were not Chen Hao, but those beastmen.
In a critical moment, a person suddenly appeared and rescued Chen Hao.
Who else could it be, moving so stealthily and unnoticed, if not Tu Yi?
"It's you!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said.
Taking a deep breath, Tu Yi then looked at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body and said, "That was close, I almost arrived too late. Wait!"
After speaking, Tu Yi vanished from in front of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, only to reappear in an instant with someone else beside him—Han Shuang.
First, Han Shuang smiled at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, then turned to look at Chen Hao as well as the now completely fused Glacier Heart, saying, "The Glacier Heart is fully assembled!"
"I'm going to help!" said Tu Yi as he looked at Han Shuang, and then he disappeared to support Xie Xiaofeng and Ou Yuanlin.
"Ao, ang!" At that moment, a mournful howl came from the south.
Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was shocked and immediately turned to look south, only to see Xiao Bai being brutally beaten by a lava demon and a Wolf Demon.
"Can I entrust him to you?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body asked Chen Hao anxiously.
"Miss, don't worry, I know some spells to deal with demons," Han Shuang said with a slight nod.
Following that, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body immediately spread her blazing wings and rushed toward Xiao Bai and the lava giant.
Seeing the fiery bird coming, the Wolf Demon ran away in fright, while the lava demon raised its arm and let out a shout, then charged head-on towards the fiery bird. It thought its lavatic body could withstand the bird of fire and even use its rock-hard body to knock the fiery bird away.
However, what actually happened was, at the moment of collision, the lava demon was burned into ash by the fiery bird.
Then, the fiery bird spread its wings and pursued the Wolf Demon, which was fleeing south.
"Ang!" Xiao Bai, wounded, let out a cheer. To him, the fact that both Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body were unharmed was the best thing possible.
After a while, with the addition of Tu Yi and Han Shuang, the group quickly annihilated the demon beasts.
And Chen Hao's forbidden resurrection technique had also been fully performed.
He opened his eyes and looked into the sky, where he saw two distinct auras of Primordial Spirits and Primordial Souls merging, gradually forming an outline of a figure he recognized.
He could certainly see that it was Ye Yuqiao's silhouette.
The yellow light was Ye Yuqiao's Yang Spirit, and naturally, the purple light was Ye Yuqiao's Yin Soul.
Watching these two contours, tears shimmered in Chen Hao's eyes, his heart filled with excitement.
After immense hardship, he was finally about to resurrect his Yuqiao, then proceed to fulfill their eternal vow.
Some time later, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, Xiao Bai, Xie Xiaofeng, Ou Yuanlin, Han Shuang, and Tu Yi had all gathered close to Chen Hao, with Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body standing farthest back, at a distance from Chen Hao.
Under everyone's watchful eyes and anticipation, the Yin Soul and Yang Spirit restored by Chen Hao began to merge, emanating a dazzling light.
Chen Hao's emotions grew even more intense.
However, he quickly realized something was missing.
He hurriedly turned back to look at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body and said, "Xiao Ming, we're missing you!"
Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body smiled, then shook her head.
A tear glistened as it fell from her left eye. She looked at Chen Hao, her voice hoarse, and said, "Chen Hao, I know, you only love my Yang Soul form. As long as there is a Yin Soul, she can be revived, and I am just dispensable. In that case, I won't merge together with the Yin Soul and Yang Spirit."
"The time I've spent here in the Polar Ice Land over the past month has been the happiest days of my life, and I am very content. Thank you for tolerating me, putting up with my odd temper and unreasonable demands, allowing me to enjoy being cherished. I hope you'll keep a very small place in your heart for Xiao Ming, who once fleetingly appeared in your eternal years!"
With that, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body turned into a ball of fire, burning herself away.
"And I hope that when you think of me in the future, you'll remember a love as passionate and reckless as this flame."
