Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 171 Ice Emperor: Tianmeng, don't come looking for me, I'm afraid the Snow Emperor will misunderstand!

Unbeknownst to Tianmeng, not far from them, another human had evaded its detection and was watching their every move with a smile. At this moment, it had already convinced Bingdi and was envisioning a future where it and Bingdi would enjoy their own private world within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Bingdi was focused on helping Huo Yuhao absorb her soul bone. Since she had decided to believe in Tianmeng's plan, she would naturally go all out. In Bingdi's view, there was only one person who could stop her and change her mind! But would that person really appear? Bingdi couldn't help but feel a little bitter, because that person hadn't seen her for a long time.

Huo Yuhao didn't have such ulterior motives, nor did he dare to. At this moment, he was relentlessly fusing with the Ice Emperor's soul bone. The excruciating pain made him want to give up more than once, but giving up meant death, and he couldn't die; he still had a great grudge to avenge!

"Is this... absorbing a soul bone?" Zhu Ziyang seemed to understand what Huo Yuhao was doing, but his doubts didn't lessen at all. He murmured, "But why? Ice Emperor isn't resisting at all; in fact, she's cooperating quite well! She doesn't seem to be being forced at all!"

Time passed by, and Huo Yuhao absorbed the Ice Emperor's soul bone smoothly. What happened next finally explained Zhu Ziyang's doubts.

He discovered that behind Huo Yuhao, a phantom of a jade-green scorpion appeared. The phantom was nine-tenths similar to the Martial Soul phantom, the only difference being that the Martial Soul phantom was spiritless, while this jade-green scorpion phantom was spirited.

"He's fusing his martial soul!" Zhu Ziyang exclaimed in astonishment. "What a clever scheme! But can Huo Yuhao really hold out? That's the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, with a cultivation level of 390,000 years! Even if you're the chosen one, you shouldn't be so arrogant!"

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Ziyang finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's body began to tremble violently, and the illusory image of the Ice Jade Scorpion behind him, which had been stabilizing, began to dissipate.

"Tianmeng! No, even though Huo Yuhao has fused with my soul bone, he still can't withstand my bloodline!" Inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Bingdi was extremely anxious. She had already given her all to this plan, but now the foundation of the plan had a problem. Wasn't this just playing with her?

"Don't worry, Ice Emperor! We must believe in Yuhao, and I'm trying to fix it!" Tianmeng was also anxious because cracks had appeared in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, which meant that his sea of ​​consciousness was very likely to shatter! Once Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness shattered, it would not be able to survive either, so it was very anxious and wanted to release its essence to help Huo Yuhao repair his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Brother Tianmeng, don't worry about me, I can do it, I can do it!" Huo Yuhao was still struggling to hold on, his body ached, but his mouth was hard. He remembered his mother's words.

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng hesitated. Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea had indeed stopped cracking, and the cracks were slowly healing, but the healing speed was very slow. If the spiritual sea could not become stable and intact, then the progress of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul fusion would also be forced to stop here. Tianmeng saw this and was anxious. In the end, she could not help but release her source to help Huo Yuhao repair his spiritual sea.

Huo Yuhao's condition has stabilized for the time being, and the progress of the fusion of his second martial soul has finally increased slowly, but an irreversible change has already occurred.

Zhu Ziyang, who was not far away, took in all of this, and a slight ripple couldn't help but stir in his heart. Looking at the illusory image of the Ice Jade Scorpion gradually turning into a cocoon behind Huo Yuhao, he knew that Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng's plan was probably successful.

Xue Di kept urging him to save Bing Di, but did Bing Di really need her rescue? Judging from the current situation, Bing Di clearly agreed to become Huo Yuhao's martial soul. If he interfered, it would definitely lead to the death of Huo Yuhao, who was only at the Great Soul Master level.

This is not the scene Zhu Ziyang wanted to see, especially since Huo Yuhao is carrying the hopes of Tang San, the Sea God, to revitalize the Tang Sect. If he really kills him, it will definitely provoke Tang San's crazy revenge!

Therefore, Zhu Ziyang did not intend to intervene. He simply stood only one kilometer away from Huo Yuhao, silently watching this transformation that could be called a pivotal moment in destiny.

Whether this transformation that was about to change Huo Yuhao's fate was due to his own destiny or the scheme of the Sea God hidden in the God Realm, Zhu Ziyang had no way of knowing. He only knew that this transformation was full of twists and turns and was really not smooth.

The completely cocooned Ice Jade Scorpion phantom suddenly shattered. The sudden change without warning caused Huo Yuhao to spit out a mouthful of blood instantly. His face quickly turned ashen, and his life force became unstable.

This sudden change startled Zhu Ziyang, and also made Tianmeng and Bingdi in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea as restless as ants on a hot pan.

Everything was going smoothly, and Huo Yuhao was about to fuse with the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul. However, at the last moment, due to the interference from the spiritual source that Tianmeng had released to repair Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Ice Emperor's soul could not be integrated into the Martial Soul. This caused Tianmeng's intelligent Martial Soul plan to fall into a dead end, making the entire fusion process a complete failure, and even putting Huo Yuhao's life in danger.

"Bingbing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Tianmeng was filled with remorse. She never expected that her momentary lapse of judgment would lead to such serious consequences.

"Sigh!" Ice Empress was angry but helpless. She knew she couldn't blame Tianmeng, so she could only sigh and say, "Fine, let it be. Rather than all three of us dying together, I'd rather sacrifice myself. Tianmeng, your plan is perfect. I hope you can carry the will of us soul beasts into the God Realm!"

After saying that, Hyotei prepared to leave Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

There are only two ways to resolve their current crisis. One is for a higher-level being to intervene, which is obviously impossible, as the gods of the divine realm forbid interference in the affairs of the lower realms, especially since they are both soul beasts. The other way is for Ice Empress to leave Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. Once Ice Empress leaves Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, her Ice Jade Scorpion bloodline will generate a brand new martial soul within Huo Yuhao's body, and the problem will be completely solved.

However, without a body, only a soul remained. Once Ice Emperor left Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, only death awaited her.

"Bingbing... I'm so sorry!" Tianmeng was already in tears, and could only apologize repeatedly. It was now powerless to control itself. Its spiritual essence was highly bound to Huo Yuhao, and it couldn't even leave Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. Otherwise, it would never have watched Bingdi die!

Amidst Huo Yuhao's pained yet grateful gaze, and in Tianmeng's grief-stricken yet powerless despair, Bingdi gracefully departed from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

After Bingdi left, Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng had no time to grieve. They immediately began to solve the crisis they faced and tried to re-condense the Ice Jade Scorpion bloodline left by Bingdi to form a new martial soul!

Ice Empress left Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, her gaze fixed on the depths of the far north, filled with longing and reluctance. She drifted in that direction, wanting to see that person one last time before she died, and ideally, to end this wrong life in her arms!

The moment Hyotei's soul appeared in the outside world, Zhu Ziyang, who had been watching them closely, noticed it immediately. At the same time, Yuki-tei in the sea of ​​consciousness pleaded with him to save Hyotei.

"Teacher, please!" After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ziyang finally softened and said to Electrolux, who had been watching the show for a long time.

"No problem!" Electrox laughed and said, "That giant scorpion seems to have more than just a soul. Ziyang, you've really struck gold this time!"

"Huh?" Zhu Ziyang was stunned. Then he received a reminder from Xue Di. Before he could think about the meaning of Ilex's words, he released the Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon Martial Soul and revealed four Xue Di Soul Rings.

With the appearance of the Snow Empress's soul ring, the Ice Empress's soul, which was originally flying towards the depths of the far north core circle, instantly stopped. Then, it made a turn and flew towards Zhu Ziyang's location. When the Ice Empress's soul appeared above Zhu Ziyang, Ilex directly extended a giant gray hand, easily grabbed the Ice Empress's soul, and then pulled it into Zhu Ziyang's sea of ​​consciousness.

As Hyotei's soul appeared in Zhu Ziyang's spiritual sea, he also understood the meaning behind Electrolux's words.

It turns out that Hyotei's soul was attached to a jade bead of emerald green. This jade bead, like Yuki-tei's Snow Pill, was Hyotei's life essence, the Ice Pill!

Hyotei was suddenly grabbed by a large hand. She instinctively resisted, but the hand carried the aura of Yuki-tei. So, she gave up the idea of ​​resisting without hesitation and happily let the large hand take her to an unfamiliar space.

Within this space, the Snow Empress's aura was incredibly strong, causing the Ice Empress to instantly forget everything and only want to say to Tianmeng, "Tianmeng, don't come looking for me, I'm afraid the Snow Empress will misunderstand!"
