It was a scorpion with a body of emerald green. The moment Huo Yuhao saw it through his spiritual detection, he suddenly felt he could understand why the Skydream Iceworm had fallen in love with her.
She was truly beautiful to the extreme. Reflected in the light of the snow, she emitted an unparalleled brilliant luster, as if at this moment she had become a light source, with countless rays of light refracting from her.
Seeing her, the Skydream Iceworm's gaze instantly became intoxicated.
"So many years have passed, and you are still so beautiful."
The Ice Empress didn't waste any words. With a flick of her hook, she pierced through the Skydream Iceworm's spiritual body.
"Skydream, enough with the nonsense. Where is your true body? Hurry up and come out. As long as I eat you, I will be the strongest soul beast on the continent."
The Skydream Iceworm shook his head helplessly.
"Ah, don't be so rough. No wonder you've been single for so many years."
"You're asking for death!"
The Skydream Iceworm's words seemed to instantly anger the Ice Empress, and her aura suddenly became dangerous.
However, before she could react, the phantom image of the Skydream Iceworm suddenly flashed in front of her, and a golden light enveloped her body.
The Ice Empress instinctively wanted to break free, but she found that the air around her had suddenly become viscous, making it difficult for her to move.
She said angrily:
"Skydream, do you think you can defeat me with these little tricks? And how long can you trap me!"
The Skydream Iceworm smiled slightly.
"I don't need to trap you for long, just one second is enough."
What the Ice Empress didn't notice was that at the same time the Skydream Iceworm was trapping her, a white light silhouette emerged from beneath the snow and flew towards her rapidly.
And by the time she noticed, it was already too late.
This milky white light had completely trapped her within it. Its hardness was completely incomparable to the Skydream's spiritual cage just now. Even she would find it difficult to break free for a while.
The Ice Empress asked in disbelief:
"Skydream, what did you do!"
The Skydream Iceworm waved his hand.
"We'll talk about this later. Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, we will have plenty of opportunities to chat in the future."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the milky white light quickly converged, turning back into a skin, falling from the air and shooting towards Huo Yuhao beneath the snow.
In just this short period of time, Huo Yuhao felt that his body had completely frozen. Fortunately, with the return of the Skydream's Relic , he quickly regained his ability to move.
The Skydream Iceworm descended from the sky and said urgently:
"Quick, the Ice Empress's clansmen are rushing towards here. Escape out of the Extreme North at full speed, and I will help you conceal your aura!"
"Okay!"
Huo Yuhao responded in a deep voice, not saying a word of unnecessary talk. After moving his body slightly, he ran towards the periphery of the Extreme North at full speed.
He knew how critical this moment was, so he used all his strength, even barely eating during the process. He ran at full speed for less than half a day and reached the outer perimeter from the core area.
When the Skydream Iceworm told him to stop, he couldn't control his strength and fell to the ground.
The Skydream Iceworm looked at his awkward appearance, and instead of despising him, he nodded with satisfaction.
Giving your all when needed is actually not that easy to do.
Ten minutes passed. After Huo Yuhao had mostly recovered, he interjected:
"Alright, Yuhao, time is short. I'm going to start the work of persuading the Ice Empress, and you should also get ready."
After speaking, he pointed at Huo Yuhao's glabella.
A ball of golden light emerged from Huo Yuhao's glabella and slowly floated into the air. At first, it was just a golden point of light. Gradually, this point of light expanded, and in an instant, it became a disc of light about one meter in diameter.
The light in the center of the golden disc began to become illusory. If you looked at it with your eyes, even your gaze would be sucked into that seemingly bottomless abyss.
A flash of light, and a figure emerged from the golden disc. The next instant after it came out, the golden light in the air also disappeared. A golden light mass only the size of a fist emerged from Huo Yuhao's forehead and hovered in mid-air, and the figure that was drawn out was none other than the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.
The Skydream smiled and said:
"Alright, Ice Empress, stop struggling. This is a killing move I can only use once. It's impossible for you to break free."
Hearing his voice, the Ice Empress stopped moving and said coldly:
"Then what do you want to do? Love me? Is this how you love?"
"Oh dear, it's not that I don't want to capture you, it's just that you wouldn't even give me a chance to negotiate with you."
The Skydream Iceworm spread his hands and smiled:
"I'll make a long story short, Ice Empress, I want to save you."
"..."
The Ice Empress didn't reply, just looked at him coldly.
The Skydream Iceworm didn't mind and continued:
"I know, you're about to reach the end of your lifespan. Don't you want to live?"
"Yes, so can you let me eat you?"
"Ah, silly Ice Ice, even if I wanted to let you eat me, I wouldn't have the chance anymore."
The Ice Empress was startled.
"What do you mean?"
The Skydream Iceworm smiled and pointed at Huo Yuhao sitting on the ground.
"I turned myself into a wisdom soul ring and merged with this human."
"...What did you say?"
The Ice Empress finally noticed Huo Yuhao's presence, and her tone suddenly rose.
"Skydream, are you crazy!"
"Not at all."
The Skydream Iceworm smiled calmly:
"My plan is very simple, just two words: God Creation!"
After speaking, without waiting for the Ice Empress to ask, he explained:
"Ice Empress, I think even you would admit that we soul beasts are completely incomparable to humans in terms of growth speed and upper limit. The Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago has already proven that the upper limit of humans can reach the level of gods. What I want is to take a gamble and put all our power on Yuhao to help him become a god. Once successful, we can also gain eternal life."
"..."
After listening to what he said, the Ice Empress fell silent.
The Skydream Iceworm knew she was tempted and struck while the iron was hot:
"Ice Empress, you should understand that although I am useless, I am a useless soul beast with a million years of cultivation. Even with just me, my success rate in creating a god is about 30%. If you are added, the success rate can reach 60%. Isn't that much higher than your success rate in breaking through the heavenly tribulation? Besides..."
At this point, the Skydream Iceworm's tone also became sinister.
"If you still don't agree after I've said all this, then for the sake of my master and myself, I can only spend some effort to kill you. You should also understand that I have the ability to do so."
Clearly, at this point, he had even resorted to threats.
The Ice Empress was silent for a moment longer, and finally sighed, saying coldly:
"After all this talk, don't I still have no choice?"
Although she said that, the coldness in her words had significantly decreased.
Obviously, this second-ranked king of the Extreme North had yielded.
The Skydream Iceworm immediately clapped enthusiastically.
"As expected of my Ice Ice, you made the right choice right away! Come quickly, complete the fusion with Yuhao!"
The Ice Empress glanced at him with disdain, and after observing Huo Yuhao for a while with narrowed eyes, she suddenly said:
"I can fuse with him, but there's a condition."
The Skydream Iceworm was stunned.
"What condition? Tell me about it?"
The Ice Empress said coldly:
"The fusion order must be done according to what I say."
"?"
Feeling her cold gaze, Huo Yuhao felt a chill run through his body.
His intuition told him that the process that followed would not be pleasant.
