Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 144

“Brother Tianmeng, what should we do next?” Huo Yuhao asked in his heart. He knew that the Ice Scorpion had not completely fallen yet, and the next battle would be even more difficult.

The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in his mind, still with a certain calmness, "Yuhao, stay calm. Although the Ice Scorpion's defense is strong, you have already injured it. Next, you must take advantage of its weakness and use your ultimate ice to completely suppress it, and then look for an opportunity to give it a fatal blow."

Huo Yuhao nodded, having already made up his mind. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the ultimate ice power in his body burst out again. At the same time, his body quickly recovered to its original state, and the ghost shadow trail was launched again, and his figure disappeared from the sight of the Ice Jade Scorpion in an instant.

The Ice Jade Scorpion roared angrily, and its tail hook swung wildly, trying to catch Huo Yuhao from the air. However, Huo Yuhao's figure flashed within its attack range like a ghost, and he avoided the deadly tail hook at the last moment every time.

“Now!” Huo Yuhao silently chanted in his heart, and his body suddenly accelerated, appearing in front of the Ice Jade Scorpion. His hands were covered with the power of the Ice Emperor again, and the dark gold claws and the Ice Emperor's claws burst out at the same time, carrying the power of extreme ice, fiercely piercing the crack on the head of the Ice Jade Scorpion.

"Puff!" This attack hit the vital point, and the already damaged shell of the Ice Jade Scorpion completely shattered, and blue ice crystal blood gushed out. The Ice Jade Scorpion's body trembled violently, and its tail hook drooped weakly. The huge body finally fell to the snow with a heavy muffled sound.

"Success!" Huo Yuhao was delighted. He knew that he had defeated this powerful soul beast. He slowly walked to the side of the Ice Jade Scorpion and looked at its blue shell that was gradually losing its luster. He felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Well done, Yuhao," the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in his mind, with some satisfaction, "You have successfully defeated the Ice Jade Scorpion. Now you can start absorbing its spirit ring."

Huo Yuhao nodded, his eyes revealing a firm determination. He sat cross-legged beside the body of the Ice Jade Scorpion and began to guide its spirit ring to slowly rise. A black spirit ring emerged from the body of the Ice Jade Scorpion, suspended in the air, emitting a cold light.

“Uncle Titan, please protect me.” Huo Yuhao said softly, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on absorbing this powerful spirit ring.

Tai Tan stood aside and nodded slightly, with a look of approval in his eyes. He knew that Huo Yuhao's strength had been greatly improved in this battle, and he would definitely become a powerful spirit master in the future.

As time passed, Huo Yuhao's body was gradually enveloped by a layer of light blue light, which merged with his aura, as if it had merged with the chill of this far north land. A turquoise light gradually emerged on his forehead, which was the power of the Ultimate Ice merging with the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul ring.

Just when Huo Yuhao had just absorbed the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring, a terrifying sound like rolling thunder rang out in the sky.

"Who is it that actually massacred my people?"

“It’s actually her, Yuhao.” The words of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang in Huo Yuhao’s ears.

"Who is it? Brother Tianmeng?" Huo Yuhao asked hurriedly.

But at this moment Tian Meng no longer had time to pay attention to Huo Yuhao, as his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness was constantly moving.

The originally pitch-black clouds suddenly fluctuated violently, and then, from the distant sky in the north, a layer of emerald green light instantly spread over.

The dark sky suddenly turned into a turquoise color, a transparent and attractive turquoise color, as if the sky high above had suddenly turned into a huge turquoise gem. The originally oppressive atmosphere in the air also disappeared in an instant.

When the green color spread to within a thousand-meter diameter of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao felt it. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This was definitely an extremely terrifying existence.

The dark sky turned green again, and a green light created a horizontal streak in the sky. In just a flash of green light, a soul beast appeared opposite the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

The emerald green light in the sky gradually gathered, and a huge figure descended from the sky. It was an extremely majestic soul beast. Its appearance instantly made the atmosphere between heaven and earth become heavy, as if the power of the entire Far North was attracted. Huo Yuhao only felt a strong sense of oppression coming, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.

This soul beast was huge and slender, more than ten meters long. Its entire body was covered with a layer of crystal clear scales like jade, and each scale radiated a dazzling brilliance, as if it was made of the most precious gem in the world. Its cold and sharp claws were like two huge sickles, flashing with cold light, as if they could tear space apart with a single swing.

A long tail thorn extended from its tail, with a faint blue light wrapped around it, faintly emitting a deadly aura. At the end of the tail thorn was a huge crystal stone, with emerald green light pouring out of it, like a ball of blazing flame, but the flame was icy cold, making people shudder.

Its eyes were deep and cold, as if it could see through everything in the world. Those emerald green eyes were like two dazzling gems, but they were filled with endless chill. Just by looking into its eyes, Huo Yuhao felt a chill running through his heart, as if his soul had been frozen.

Its posture is elegant and stern, as if everything in the world is under its control. Its limbs are slender and powerful, and with every step it takes, the ground seems to tremble slightly, as if paying tribute to the true master of this world. Its body lines are smooth, and every movement is full of incomparable majesty and murderous intent.

As it slowly descended in front of Huo Yuhao, the chill became stronger, as if even the air was frozen. Huo Yuhao could even see that the remains of the Ice Jade Scorpion scattered on the ground instantly turned into icy dust under the breath of this soul beast and dispersed with the wind.

This soul beast was undoubtedly the king of the Ice Jade Scorpion - the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. Its arrival plunged the entire Far North into a dead silence. Even Huo Yuhao felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, and his heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, staring at the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion with his eyes fixed, his heart filled with shock and fear. He could feel the vast energy in the soul beast's body, a power that was almost impossible to resist. Even with the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao felt extremely insignificant.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion stared at Huo Yuhao coldly. Its emerald eyes flashed with complex emotions, which seemed to carry a hint of anger, and also seemed to be mixed with some other emotions. Its voice was as cold as ice, and it rang directly in Huo Yuhao's mind: "Human, why did you massacre my people? Do you know that you have committed an unforgivable crime!"

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and tried to keep himself calm. He knew very well that the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion in front of him was very powerful and he was definitely not able to fight against it at the moment. Facing such a powerful being, he could only respond with caution.

Just as Huo Yuhao tried to respond, the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in his mind again: "Yuhao, the strength of this Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion is far beyond our expectations. We must be careful when dealing with it. It is one of the emperors of the entire Far North. Even I can't easily fight it. But don't panic. I will do my best to help you deal with this crisis."

Huo Yuhao responded in his heart: "Brother Tianmeng, I understand. I will be careful."

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion still stared at Huo Yuhao, as if waiting for his answer. At this moment, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

“Lord Ice Emperor Scorpion, I have no ill intentions. I came here not to slaughter your people, but to practice. I am the owner of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, and I need to increase my strength by hunting ice-attributed soul beasts. I did not mean to offend your people intentionally, I just wanted to protect myself.” Huo Yuhao’s tone was sincere. He knew that he could only be honest at this moment and try to resolve this crisis.

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, the coldness in the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's eyes slightly faded, but it did not completely trust Huo Yuhao. It slowly said, "Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit? It seems that you do have some connection with our Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, but this is not a reason for you to massacre my people. You must pay the price for this."

Huo Yuhao's heart sank. He knew that the situation before him was extremely dangerous and that he would die if he was not careful. However, the voice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in his mind again: "Yuhao, don't panic. Try to communicate with it. Although the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion is powerful, it is not a bloodthirsty soul beast. There may be room for recovery."

Huo Yuhao nodded, trying to calm his fear, and continued, “Master Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, I am willing to take responsibility for my actions, but I also hope to gain your forgiveness. I can assure you that this hunt was not motivated by malice, but was done for my own cultivation needs. If you are willing, I can provide you with some compensation to make up for my mistake.”

A trace of thought flashed across the eyes of the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion. It did not respond to Huo Yuhao immediately, but stared at him quietly, as if it was measuring Huo Yuhao's sincerity and strength.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead, and his Eye of Destiny quietly opened. A soft golden light slowly flowed out, covering the space between him and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. This light seemed to carry some mysterious power, which slightly eased the atmosphere around them.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was slightly stunned, and a strange light flashed in its emerald eyes. It obviously felt the strange power in Huo Yuhao's body. That power seemed to echo with its ice attribute, and it seemed to be a more ancient and powerful existence.

It lowered its head and stared at Huo Yuhao, with a hint of doubt in its voice: "The power in your body... is not simple. Who are you? Why do you have such power?"

Huo Yuhao knew that he couldn't hide anything at this moment, so he said bluntly: "Master Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, there is indeed a special power in my body. It was acquired by accident when I was young, and it resonates with my Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. This is also one of the reasons why I can come here to practice. I don't want to be your enemy, I just want to improve my strength through practice."

The coldness in the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's eyes did not subside when he heard this.

"Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, one of the ten most ferocious beasts. What's the big deal about bullying a junior? Come and fight with me." Titan spoke at this time.

The reason why Titan didn't take action just now was that he wanted to take another look at Huo Yuhao's power. Huo Yuhao is doing very well now, so Titan naturally wouldn't let anything happen to Huo Yuhao here. Otherwise, who knows how angry Wang Dong would be with him when he returned.

The Ice Emperor Scorpion stared at Titan coldly, the green light in its eyes became stronger and stronger, and the air around it was almost frozen in an instant. Its tail was slightly raised, and the tip of its tail flashing with cold light was aimed at Titan, as if it was going to launch a fatal attack in the next moment.

Titan was not moved at all. He smiled slightly, and his body suddenly swelled up. His muscles stood out like rocks under his gray robe. In an instant, he turned into a huge Titan ape. The Titan ape's figure almost covered the sky, and its huge body exuded an overwhelming power.

"Come on, Emperor Scorpion, let me see your true strength!" Titan's voice shook the four directions like thunder. He clenched his fists suddenly, and his muscles tensed instantly, as if containing infinite power.

The Ice Emperor Scorpion's tail suddenly thrust forward, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch, and even produced a sonic boom in the air. However, the Titan Ape was well prepared, and his left arm instantly swept across, blocking the incoming tail sting. The Ice Emperor Scorpion's tail sting collided with the Titan Ape's arm, making a roar like the collision of metal and iron.

Titan snorted coldly, "This strength is not enough!" His mountain-like right fist suddenly blasted out, and the air was compressed violently, as if it was about to be torn apart. This punch was like a thunderbolt, and it hit the head of the Ice Emperor Scorpion with tremendous force.

The Ice Emperor Scorpion was obviously not to be outdone, and its crystal clear body suddenly burst into countless ice crystals, forming a thick shield that covered its entire body. This shield not only defended against physical attacks, but also emitted an extreme chill, trying to freeze the Titan Ape's fist.

However, the Titan Ape's strength was extraordinary, and with overwhelming momentum, his fist hit the shield of the Ice Emperor Scorpion. The ice crystals shattered instantly, and the cold air spread, but this did not stop the Titan Ape's attack, and his fist still approached the head of the Ice Emperor Scorpion in an unstoppable manner.

A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Ice Emperor Scorpion. It knew that it could not completely avoid this punch, so it retreated suddenly and thrust its tail out again at high speed. This time, its target was the heart of the Titan Ape, trying to deal a fatal blow to it while fighting head-on.

The Titan Ape had already anticipated this, and he slightly tilted his body, letting the sting of his tail scrape across his chest, leaving only a deep mark on his skin. At the same time, the Titan Ape's left hand suddenly grabbed the Ice Emperor Scorpion's tail, pulling it hard, trying to pull it closer to him.

The Ice Emperor Scorpion felt the terrifying power of the Titan Ape, but it did not panic at all. Its body spun suddenly, and its tail quickly slipped out of the Titan Ape's hands. Its cold body was like a frost dragon, bypassing the Titan Ape's side and trying to attack from behind.

The Titan Ape snorted coldly, exerted force on his feet, and turned his huge body quickly. He gathered power in his right fist again and slammed into the belly of the Ice Emperor Scorpion. The Ice Emperor Scorpion obviously knew that this attack should not be underestimated. Its six claws pierced the Titan Ape's vital points like lightning, trying to use offense as defense.
