Extracting the soul of a Spirit Beast from its body in a special way and signing a contract with a Spirit Master, turning it into a spirit ring. Not only can it retain its consciousness, but it can also help the Spirit Master in battle.
An Zhen introduced the soul of the Fire Dragon King.
In An Zhen's view, contracting a Soul Spirit was like a blind date; to get the other party's body and a lifetime commitment, one had to present oneself to satisfy the other party.
Electrolux was indeed skilled in souls, but forcing a fierce beast to sign a Soul Spirit contract, without risking damage to his divine sense origin, still carried a certain danger.
Looking at the treasure bead containing the soul of the Fire Dragon, although she found the other party's tone, which claimed to be no weaker than the Ice God, somewhat arrogant, the Snow Empress indeed felt a huge threat from it.
If an unconscious Dragon Soul was like this, how terrifying must this giant dragon have been at its peak during its lifetime?
"So, the Ice Dragon King's soul is on her?"
The Snow Empress turned her gaze to Huo Yutong, who was sitting in An Zhen's arms. She felt an aura on this human girl that was somewhat similar yet completely different from that of the Dragon Soul.
"That's right."
An Zhen nodded lightly.
"What is your Spirit?"
"World."
Next, An Zhen took the Snow Empress to experience his third Spirit Ability, which was to bring her consciousness into the Virtual World. Considering Electrolux, who could originally kill her, the Snow Empress agreed.
After experiencing the Virtual World, the Snow Empress's consciousness returned to her body, her orange-yellow eyes still showing a look of shock that had not yet dissipated.
"Your aptitude is very powerful."
The Snow Empress had never seen such a Spirit.
That soul, like a World, even somewhat overturned the Snow Empress's understanding.
"Then, Senior Snow Empress, do you think I have the potential to become a God?"
"Yes."
"Not only that, I have a Limit Douluo level teacher in Shrek Academy, who holds a high position and great power. Once a treasure of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast embryo level appears, it's still very easy to find."
An Zhen would mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources to search for the Snow Empress, not only because of his promise to the Snow Empress but also because he wanted both the Ice and Snow Two Emperors!
These were his advantages.
"The Snow Empress should be approaching her 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation in a few hundred years, right?"
"That's right."
The Snow Empress was somewhat surprised that the other party knew such details, but thinking about the Snow Empress incident, knowing her lifespan seemed not so strange.
"You don't have confidence."
"That's right." The Snow Empress nodded lightly.
"Snow Empress, now the opportunity for eternal life is right before you. Whether it's the Shrek Seven Devils who became Gods ten thousand years ago, or the Sea God and Angel God who created their own God Positions even earlier, my talent is far above theirs, and now I have even obtained the Ice Fire Dragon King's inheritance."
"Snow Empress, isn't such a probability worth betting on?"
Either wait for death.
Or take a gamble.
"But I cannot ensure that your Soul Spirit method will allow me to retain my consciousness."
This was what the Snow Empress cared about most.
"But the Snow Empress also has no retreat."
An Zhen placed a grape into Huo Yutong's small mouth.
The moment his voice sounded, An Zhen and Huo Yutong's figures disappeared before the Snow Empress. The next moment, gray, silent death energy filled the entire cave, like an interwoven net.
"Today, either become a Soul Spirit or be hunted."
An Zhen's voice slowly sounded, but unlike before, it now carried a hint of coldness.
Courtesy before force.
Knowing these things, unless they became his own people, An Zhen only believed that a corpse could keep secrets, the kind where even the soul was extinguished.
Moreover, in the Spirit Beast World, force was ultimately more persuasive.
The Snow Empress did not move.
The petite girl sat calmly in her original position like a queen, unfazed by the danger, and drank the ice spring from the bowl in one gulp.
"I agree."
The Snow Empress's orange-yellow eyes were now like a clear, ripple-less well.
The Snow Empress did not struggle.
Because she didn't want to die.
And she didn't want the Snow Empress to die.
Whether it was being hunted by the other party now or dying under the Heavenly Tribulation a few hundred years later, she was unwilling to accept it.
The final straw that broke the Snow Empress's back was not the Snow Empress who was unaccounted for in An Zhen's description, but death. She had lived for nearly 400,000 years, and now an opportunity for eternal life was before her. Although she would lose her freedom, living was better than dying.
"You will not regret today's choice in the future."
An Zhen's figure quietly appeared, a joyful smile on his face.
"But I still have one condition."
A slender, fair, beautiful leg was propped up, and the Snow Empress's delicate cherry lips curved into a half-smile.
"Go back and arrange your race? Hmm, go ahead."
"No." The Snow Empress shook her head in denial, "I already told them I was going into seclusion when I came."
The battle with that human just now had given her a unique insight, and she wanted to try a last-ditch effort in seclusion before her deadline arrived. Although the hope was very slim, it was no longer needed now. Anyway, a human's lifespan was at most a few hundred years, similar to her original estimated seclusion time.
"What is it then?" An Zhen asked, puzzled.
Her pink toes gently kicked the table, and the next moment, an immense force directly sent the table between them flying to the side.
"Your threat just now made this Empress very angry."
An Zhen suddenly felt a bad premonition.
"Since your goal is for this Empress to become your Soul Spirit partner, shouldn't you apologize to this Empress, for example, by licking this Empress's foot?"
The Snow Empress's small, exquisite face showed a hint of arrogance and playfulness, and one jade foot was gently lifted. Although the Snow Empress and Huo Yutong were similar in height and both had small, delicate feet, Huo Yutong's feet were soft, fleshy, and elastic, making them the best choice for massage and stepping, while the Snow Empress's feet were like icy works of art, as white as snow with greenish veins, perfectly curved and flawlessly exquisite.
An Zhen glanced at Huo Yutong outside the Death Domain.
"Don't worry, your little girlfriend can neither hear nor see what's happening inside right now."
Electrolux frowned.
The teacher, who was unaware of his disciple's usual behavior, was very angry with the Snow Empress's actions.
This was too insulting!
As long as An Zhen said the word, he would immediately act.
The Snow Empress looked at An Zhen, whose body was trembling slightly.
She was willing to become An Zhen's Soul Spirit, but she was unwilling to be a subordinate existence. This guy said so much and did all these things instead of directly letting that strong person hunt her down, wasn't it precisely to make her become that so-called Soul Spirit?
She had to let this guy know that she was not to be trifled with.
Possessing such top-tier talent, Dragon King inheritance, and strong guidance, this guy must be very arrogant.
Hmph hmph~
Beg this Empress!
Then this Empress will generously forgive you.
Taking a deep breath, An Zhen took a step forward and turned to look at Teacher Electrolux.
Teacher, you must bear witness for me, she asked for this!
An Zhen's fingers touched the cold ankle, cradling the jade foot.
"..."
The Snow Empress suddenly felt an unusual sensation in her heart; it was the first time any creature had touched her ankle.
But looking at the conflicted expression on An Zhen's face, the triumphant look on the Snow Empress's beautiful small face grew stronger.
An Zhen was a bit conflicted.
How should he start?
He wasn't a foot fetishist, nor a hooligan. As a good student, he felt that his previous actions were indeed a bit rude to the Snow Empress, and apologizing for it was only right, wasn't it?
"Slurp~"
Electrolux: ...
Electrolux silently turned away.
This person was not his, Electrolux's, disciple.
A strange sensation came from her sensitive foot, constantly stimulating the Snow Empress's senses. The twin-tailed little queen was directly stunned in her seat.
"Eh?!"
"Pervert!"
With immense force, she pulled her foot back. Under the Snow Empress's control, the saliva clinging to her foot was frozen into frost and fell to the ground.
The petite Snow Empress looked at An Zhen with a disgusted expression.
"You asked for this. I'm just apologizing as you requested."
An Zhen calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips.
Authentic ice pop.
"You—"
The words the Snow Empress was about to say were blocked in her mouth by this sentence.
"You'd better be sincere in wanting to apologize!"
The petite girl could only glare fiercely at An Zhen in the end.
How did it feel like becoming this guy's Soul Spirit was like a lamb entering a tiger's den?
"Let's begin the Soul Spirit contract."
Electrolux turned around and spoke. Regarding his disciple's hobbies, he didn't want to manage or even see them at all.
"Hmm." The Snow Empress nodded lightly.
"Oh, right." The small Snow Empress looked at An Zhen with a hint of disgust in her eyes, "What Spirit Bone do you want?" (In the original work, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass became a Soul Spirit and provided Huo Yuhao with a Right Leg Bone.)
"The Right Leg Bone then."
After An Zhen obtained a torso bone, the next best choice should have been the powerful left and right arms of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. However, for An Zhen, Spirit Bones would be assimilated, so choosing where was basically the same. He wouldn't get arm Spirit Bones for now, to see if he could get a palm bone later.
"Alright."
"Let's begin."
Standing between the Snow Empress and An Zhen, as his voice fell, a virtual staff constructed from black, white, and gold appeared in Electrolux's hand. Ancient runes from another World were uttered from Electrolux's mouth, and a golden hexagram formation emerged on the ground, with dense runes enveloping An Zhen and the Snow Empress.
The Soul Spirit contract was not difficult.
What was difficult was the first version of the Soul Spirit contract, when the object was a fierce beast, which required a terrifying consumption of mental force, as well as the energy brought by the Snow Empress's cultivation of nearly 400,000 years.
The amount of mental force was not a problem for An Zhen; there was a lot in the Virtual World, and it could be quickly replenished.
The Snow Empress's energy had to be sealed by Teacher Electrolux. After being nourished by the Virtual World and with a whole piece of gold of life as a power source, Electrolux was now recovering much better than in the original work.
...
Two days later.
Huo Yutong, who had been anxiously waiting, finally saw the Death Domain slowly dissipate.
"Brother An Zhen!"
The little girl quickly stepped forward and directly threw herself into An Zhen's arms, her white-silk-clad legs wrapping around An Zhen's waist beneath her dress. Although the temperature in the cave was minus twenty degrees Celsius, it wasn't cold at all for Huo Yutong, who possessed the Ice Dragon King Spirit.
"Not bad."
A crisp voice sounded. When Huo Yutong looked in the direction of the voice, she saw a beautiful and exquisite small face with a hint of arrogance, a dark green twin-tailed loli floating in mid-air, swinging her two fair feet.
"Bingbing!"
Tianmeng Iceworm's excited soul voice sounded.
"An Zhen, quickly, teach me the Soul Spirit method too, I want to be with Bingbing."
"Scram!"
Responding to Tianmeng Iceworm was a mercilessly cold rebuke. The Snow Empress turned to look at her host, "An Zhen, don't let Tianmeng Iceworm get close to me!"
"Of course, you are my Soul Spirit, I will be responsible for you." An Zhen said seriously.
"At least you have some conscience."
Although the Snow Empress felt that this statement was a bit strange.
An Zhen began to examine his newly unlocked authority.
Under Huo Yutong's shocked gaze, an orange-gold spirit ring lit up, noble and magnificent. The next moment, a wild, primordial aura rushed forth, as if the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's true form had descended.
Fourth Spirit Ability: Erosion.
Virtual World invasion, gradually eroding reality. As long as the Virtual World is large enough, even an entire plane can be swallowed and digested from reality, accelerating the growth of the Virtual World.
So, did he send the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs into his "stomach"?
