Chapter 246: Chapter 229: A Passion of Ice and Fire
".... That's it. Let the Holy energy intertwined with the Ultimate Ice in a gentle yet firm manner." Electrolux advised with a soft tone of voice.
"However, do not let the domineering chill of Ultimate Ice be suppressed either." Ice Empress added, her voice cool and commanding. "Balance is the key. The Holy energy must guide and purify, but the Ultimate Ice must assert its dominance to tame her flames."
"Through purification, comes the full release of the potential of her bloodline and martial soul. However, the process isn't easy. It is a circulation of opposing energies, one being a higher grade than the other. You must be careful," Snow Empress remarked.
Huo Yuhao nodded inwardly, absorbing their advice. He visualized the delicate balance between the two forces within his body: one dark-blue, cold, and domineering, representing his Ultimate Ice; the other glowing golden, pure, and soothing, representing the Holy energy.
The two forces swirled within his spiritual sea like a yin-yang symbol before seamlessly fusing together into one royal-blue colored Ultimate Holy Ice.
Huo Yuhao focused his soul power control to keep the balance intact, channeling the combined force into his right palm.
He reached out, gently placing his hand on Ma Xiaotao's lower abdomen, a few finger widths below the navel: her dantian, where the Evil Fire was at its most volatile.
"Bear with it for a while longer, Xiaotao." Huo Yuhao softly apologized, but Ma Xiaotao remained in a crazed state as her burning hands held onto his arm and tried burning it.
With a grunt, Huo Yuhao began injecting the royal-blue energy of Ultimate Holy Ice into Ma Xiaotao's dantian. The moment it entered, it clashed violently with her rampant Evil Fire.
A shockwave of conflicting forces burst outward, causing the air around them to ripple and distort from the sheer intensity.
"Ahhh!" Ma Xiaotao screamed, her voice filled with both pain and anger. Her grip on Huo Yuhao's arm tightened, her fiery hands desperately trying to inflict damage as she instinctively resisted the foreign energy.
Skreee!*
A loud piercing Phoenix cry was heard as a dark red flaming Phoenix appeared behind Ma Xiaotao's body, the manifestation of her martial soul as six soul rings also manifested beneath her legs. Its feathers were wreathed in sinister flames, its gaze burning with wrath and defiance.
The dark Phoenix looked down upon Huo Yuhao with its fiery dark gaze as it opened its beak, a pulsating orb of dark fire forming within—a fireball filled with the concentrated malice of the Evil Fire.
"Shut up." Huo Yuhao coldly said and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion materialized behind him once more in all its icy grandeur. It let out a loud sharp hiss at the Phoenix.
With an almost casual movement, the massive scorpion extended one of its shimmering jade pincers, clamping down on the Phoenix's beak before it could release the fireball.
The Evil Fire Phoenix started thrashing around comically, but the large Ice Jade Empress Scorpion held its beak firmly with ease, it even had a look of disdain in its beady green eyes.
"Don't kill it. Doing so would severely harm Xiaotao." Huo Yuhao calmly ordered as he focused on purifying Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix.
A few hours passed flew by.
'Why isn't it working?!' Huo Yuhao inwardly thought with a scowl.
No matter how much Ultimate Holy Ice energy he circulate into Ma Xiaotao's meridians and delicately intertwined with her martial soul, her berserk state wasn't going away.
'Am I... doing it wrongly? Though the Holy energy is purifying the evil nature of her Evil Fire, like a undying candle, it refuses to dissipate. And the more I force it into her, the more her martial soul deteriorates.'
Huo Yuhao was stumped at this moment, it was only thanks to his vast experience that he stayed cool and immediately stopped infusing his energy to Ma Xiaotao, and started thinking of another method to help her.
'Maybe... purifying her Evil Fire isn't the right way. It was born within her, it's tied deeply to her soul. Evil is a natural force in the universe; for when there is good, there is evil.' Huo Yuhao pondered as he cupped his chin.
'The Evil Fire goes on a rampage because Ma Xiaotao is suppressing its natural power, though, I couldn't really blame her when its side effects causes her to become...*cough* extremely vigorous and, and also with appetite impulses that are ten-fold that of an ordinary person.'
The Evil Fire Phoenix was known as both a blessing and a curse. Not only would one awaken with a large innate soul power, they would also possess Evil Fire, a mutated fire close to Ultimate Fire with powerful adhering(sticky) properties, making it very difficult to extinguish.
However, this martial soul came with an immense defect to the user's body; making them extremely horny when suppressed for too long. This wouldn't be a problem for males since they would simply go to the red light district.
But Ma Xiaotao couldn't. Like almost all females, she treasures her maidenhood greatly and she wouldn't let some stranger take it. She wouldn't even let someone she likes take it yet as well!
Ma Xiaotao is a strong and prideful woman. When she came to understand the side effects of her martial soul, she vowed to overcome it with her own grit and determination.
However, such ambition couldn't easily surmount the natural law of the world. With her cultivation near Soul Sage, her Evil Fire finally erupted all of the suppressed 'evil' energy for the last few years.
If Ma Xiaotao doesn't overcome this, she would either become an Evil Soul Master or die.
'Or it's because my purification is simply not strong enough to get rid of her Evil nature. Either way, I have to try another way. But what?' Huo Yuhao furrowed his brows, pondering the situation deeper.
'Try both Kuraokami and Amaterasu.' Indra's voice sounded.
'Kuraokami? Amaterasu?' Huo Yuhao was surprised.
'Trust me.'
Huo Yuhao contemplated for a moment and a glin of realization flashes across his eyes. 'Of course!'
Without any hesitation, his Sharingan flickered and going straight into Mangekyou Sharingan. The lotus pupils in his eyes began to turn as he muttered,
"Kuraokami."
A pale blue flaming flame, yet radiating a deep chill that surpasses the Ultimate Ice of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, enveloped Ma Xiaotao's entire body; ice crystals gradually formed across her skin.
"Amaterasu!" Huo Yuhao quickly activated his second technique, while simultaneously using his Fire Control skill to have the black flame appear within her dantian and spread across her pathways.
As the black flames of Amaterasu flow into her veins, Huo Yuhao quickly dissipated most of the Kuraokami from her body—he left just enough of it on her body so that her Evil Fire would be kept suppressed.
"Now, I just have to guide her soul power circulation along with the Amaterasu and gradually integrate it with her martial soul." Huo Yuhao muttered as he concentrated.
The black flames of Amaterasu was of a neutral alignment; it was neither kind or evil, it was flames that would burn everything and last eternally. It was a True Flame, the Ultimate Flame that stood at the peak of fire elements.
Huo Yuhao was going to use the Amaterasu to incite an evolution of Ma Xiaotao's martial soul! He came to realize that if purification wouldn't work then perhaps embracing and refining her Evil Fire could lead to a breakthrough.
By integrating the neutral and eternal nature of Amaterasu with her mutated Phoenix martial soul, he aimed to push it beyond its current limitations and transform its very essence.
Kindness and Evil are divine laws in the universe, however, they don't represent morality and ethics.
What is Kindness? What is Evil? In the perspective of a losing nation, they would view the winners as devils for taking over them. In the perspective of the winners, they see themselves as righteous, bringing order and stability.
Kindness and Evil are not bound by the simplistic dichotomy of right and wrong but are reflections of intent, consequence, and perspective.
So long as Ma Xiaotao understands the consequences of her choices and the decisions she makes, Huo Yuhao would embrace her no matter the path she chooses.
Whether she walks the path of light, darkness, or something in between, it is her resolve and her acceptance of the weight of her decisions that truly matter.
Huo Yuhao's mind worked swiftly as he carefully guided the circulation of Ma Xiaotao's soul power, weaving it through her meridians in perfect harmony with the black flames of Amaterasu with his Mangekyou Sharingan.
The flames flowed steadily, their neutral nature counteracting the chaotic tendencies of her Evil Fire, while simultaneously tempering its raw energy and moulding it into something new.
The Evil Fire Phoenix floating behind Ma Xiaotao trembled, its fiery form becoming transparent and ethereal, as if it were shedding its old self.
The once-malignant aura surrounding it began to dissipate, replaced by an overwhelming sense of strength and otherworldly aura. The fiery red of its feathers shifted, turning completely with deep black with crimson hues that symbolized eternity and rebirth.
Golden lines momentarily flickered to life across its body before disappearing.
Huo Yuhao ignored the awe-inspiring image and focused on stabilizing the the evolution. Every subtle fluctuation within Ma Xiaotao's body was under his scrutiny, and he adjusted the flow of the Amaterasu flames accordingly.
The process was delicate, like walking on a razor's edge. One wrong move, and the volatile forces could spiral out of control.
"Yuhao...." Ma Xiaotao's weak voice broke through the intense atmosphere. Her once completely red eyes shone with clarity, as though a veil had been lifted.
"Just hold on a little longer Xiaotao," Huo Yuhao kindly smiled at her. "We're almost done—"
Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao's eyes turned a deep shade of pink. Her legs were longer bound by ice when she was undergoing her martial soul's evolution so she easily lunged at Huo Yuhao, knocking him onto the ground.
She saddled him with surprising strength and agility, her hands gripping his shoulders tightly. Because of the intense elemental energies surging from her body, her clothes had long since disintegrated—leaving her completely naked, flawless and voluptuous body for Huo Yuhao to see.
"Shit-!" Huo Yuhao wanted to stop her advancement but he was too busy trying to calm the raging energy within her. His eyes widened as Ma Xiaotao leaned down, her twin peaks pushing against his chest.
As a healthy young man, Huo Yuhao couldn't help himself.
"Hmm~" Ma Xiaotao purred, her cheeks blushing as she sensually licked her lips.
This was going to be a long, steamy few nights.
