Chapter 32 The Deception Begins.
Ice Emperor was quite shocked, but not flustered. Her two crystal-yellow, gem-like eyes flashed with a sharp light. Her tail hook swung, and her long, emerald-green tail shone brightly. White and green light intertwined, and she unleashed a series of powerful soul skills at full strength, holding nothing back.
Ice Emperor, slightly out of breath, said harshly, "Tianmeng, you piece of trash. You dare use your spiritual power like this? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to return to your original form? Besides, even if you squeeze out more of your potential, it doesn't change the fact that you're trash. How long can you trap me? One second or two?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed, looking at Ice Emperor's disdainful expression, "Trash is trash. As for time, it doesn't need to be long, one or two seconds is enough."
A thin layer of white light silently glided along the ground at that moment, unnoticed even by Ice Emperor's immense strength.
As the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm fell away, Wu Xuan, who had been hiding, suddenly shivered. Such extreme low temperatures were truly unbearable for ordinary people.
The next instant, this powerful soul beast, who had roamed the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, truly felt fear. Even her desperate struggles were futile.
The feeling of being bound was growing stronger at an alarming rate, pressing against her body and emitting a teeth-grinding groan. No matter how she struggled, the binding force continued to increase. Even she couldn't resist it.
Her raised pincers were gradually suppressed, and her upturned tail hook was pressed tightly against her body. This Ice Emperor, one of the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, was actually bound tightly.
"No, this is impossible! Heavenly Dream, how could you, a piece of trash, bind me? What kind of skill is this? Why can't even my abilities break free?" the Ice Emperor roared in exasperation.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at the exasperated Ice Emperor with a smug expression and said, "Ice Emperor, stop struggling. You've tried many times already, you should know it's useless, hohoho!!"
"Alright! Stop being so smug, it's time to get down to business." Wu Xuan, shivering, emerged from the snow and transmitted his thoughts through mental energy.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded emphatically, then raised its right hand, pointing at the Ice Emperor. In a flash of golden light, the Ice Emperor's body vanished into thin air.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed, "I never thought that after losing my body, I would be able to use this vast mental energy. Unfortunately, this is my only chance."
With that, the Ice Emperor was absorbed into Wu Xuan's sea of consciousness by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"Little Wu Xuan, the commotion just now was so loud, it might have attracted other powerful beings, and then all our efforts would be in vain. I'll lead the way, you run as fast as you can."
"Okay!" As soon as he finished speaking, the second purple soul ring around Wu Xuan lit up. A gentle breeze propelled Wu Xuan with the speed of a sharp sword as he raced towards the edge of the far north.
The outer edge of the Frozen Forest!
"Little Wu Xuan, let's go here. I've just scouted the area; it's relatively quiet within a thousand miles, with no soul beasts around," said Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"Alright! Let's release the Ice Emperor then, and have a good chat with her." Wu Xuan stopped his frantic run and collapsed onto the snow.
Guided by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, a golden light emerged from between Wu Xuan's brows, slowly drifting into the air. At first, it was just a golden dot, but gradually, it expanded, instantly becoming a disc about a meter in diameter.
Within the disc, the Ice Emperor coldly said, "Hmph, Tianmeng, don't think that your skin can render me helpless. Once I'm free, I will kill you and then completely devour you to restore my original essence!"
"Hmm?"
"A human?" The Ice Emperor's pupils constricted sharply, followed by unparalleled rage.
"Tianmeng, you dog! Not only are you useless, but you also dare to collude with humans! You traitor of the far north!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual power coalesced once more, its face filled with indignation as it said, "Bingbing! I'm doing this for your own good!"
"For my own good?" Ice Emperor sneered, gritting its teeth, "Colluding with humans, harming your compatriots in the far north, and you still have the nerve to say it's for my own good?"
"I..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was momentarily speechless, unable to find a reason to refute.
Seeing this, Wu Xuan waved his hand, signaling Tianmeng to step back. With his limited skills, how could he possibly argue with others?
"What? What did you say? This Ice Emperor of the far north! You say you and Tianmeng are compatriots? Then when you were chasing him all over the far north, why didn't you treat him as a compatriot?" Wu Xuan exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Ice Emperor remained silent upon hearing this, seemingly unable to refute, its eyes cold and angry as it looked at Wu Xuan.
"Alright! Don't look at me like that. Tianmeng and I came here specifically to find you, not to argue. Ice Emperor, let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu Xuan, and Tianmeng and I are indeed in cahoots. We've come here hoping you'll join us." Wu Xuan said seriously.
"Join? What do you mean, join?" Ice Emperor asked coldly.
"Yes! Join us and become my soul ring." Wu Xuan said shamelessly.
"Hmph! Wishful thinking. I was wondering why that piece of trash Tianmeng dared to come to me! So that's what she's up to. If you want my soul ring, then come on! I want to see what kind of method a mere Soul Master like you can use to break through my defenses." Ice Emperor sneered.
"Ice Emperor! I know you're in a hurry, but don't be! First, understand Tianmeng and my plan, and then you can be anxious." Wu Xuan advised.
Ice Empress laughed, a laugh born of anger: "Pros and cons? Don't be ridiculous! You all want to kill me to get my spirit ring, do you think it would benefit me?"
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm quickly stepped forward, forcing a smile: "Oh dear, Ice Empress, don't refuse so quickly! Let me tell you, the benefits of becoming a spirit ring are immense."
Ice Empress said coldly: "If you make it sound so good, why don't you become one yourself?"
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm looked innocent: "I already am one..."
"What?!"
Ice Emperor exclaimed, "You...you mean you, this piece of trash, have become this human's soul ring? How is that possible? Although you're trash, you've lived long enough. How could this human's fragile body withstand such immense energy?"
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it. Speaking of my tragic experiences, it all comes down to you. If you hadn't relentlessly pursued me, trying to devour me, would I have been running around like a headless fly? If I hadn't run around aimlessly, would I have suffered such torment?"
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm recounted its experiences over the past 100,000 years in what it considered its most tragic voice. Wu Xuan had already heard it once before, but when Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm told Ice Emperor its story, its tone was incredibly sorrowful, and it described itself as several times more miserable.
Ice Emperor simply listened quietly without making any comment.
