Huo Yuhao didn't think much of this oath, but after hearing it, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face was immediately filled with smiles.
In the Extreme North Land, this was the most solemn oath a Spirit Beast could take.
Therefore, the Ice Empress's words just now were definitely sincere, and there was certainly nothing wrong with her refinement of his plan.
"Bingbing, don't Life Qi, don't Life Qi. Look, your temper is still too hasty. How could I bear to let you take an oath..."
Before he could finish, the Ice Empress snapped impatiently, "Get lost! Stop disgusting me! If you talk any more nonsense, I'll make sure you can never talk again! Don't forget, after I sacrifice myself, I will be in this human's mental sea along with you."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately fell silent, silently releasing his restraint on the Ice Empress.
In an instant, the Ice Empress's body transformed into a human form, while simultaneously emitting a terrifyingly extreme Vicious Beast aura. A layer of jade-green luster suddenly appeared in the sky.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched the Ice Empress's every move nervously. Seeing that she indeed had no intention of suddenly attacking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ice Empress completely ignored the spiritual form of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and slowly walked in front of Huo Yuhao. Playing her part perfectly, she nodded to Huo Yuhao: "Hello, human. I am the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. You can just call me Ice Empress."
Huo Yuhao subconsciously swallowed. Facing the second-ranked super Vicious Beast of the Extreme North Land, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. But thinking that such a super Spirit Beast would soon become his second spirit, Huo Yuhao suppressed the thumping in his heart and said seriously:
"Hello, Ice Empress. My name is Huo Yuhao."
The Ice Empress sized up Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and couldn't help but sneer: "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, your taste is truly poor, choosing a human with such a weak foundation."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression became awkward, but he also knew that the Ice Empress wasn't targeting him, but Brother Tianmeng.
But Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't seem to catch the meaning at all. Instead, he said cheekily, "Bingbing, you can't belittle my taste. My taste is absolutely top-notch! Otherwise, how could I have taken a fancy to you?"
One sentence instantly infuriated the Ice Empress.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also realized something was wrong the moment he said it, and quickly explained at high speed: "Although Little Yu Hao's Physique is a bit weak, doesn't that just prove the effectiveness of the two of us? To turn a human with a weak Physique and poor foundation into a god—how prestigious would that be if word got out!"
Word got out?
You've already become someone's wisdom spirit ring; who else can you brag to?
The Ice Empress felt disdain in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She just gave Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a fierce glare and then looked at Huo Yuhao.
When facing Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress's tone was finally not so cold:
"In a moment, I will voluntarily sacrifice myself and give you my Spirit Bone. This torso bone will replace the original bones in your body, so some pain is normal. But you must endure this pain; only then can you accept my power and turn me into your second spirit."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his eyes determined.
"I'm ready, Ice Empress."
Hearing this, the Ice Empress didn't delay any further. She reached out and grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
A surge of coldness instantly spread from where they touched into his body. Unprepared, Huo Yuhao subconsciously shuddered, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. This coldness felt as if it could even freeze a person's Soul!
The Ice Empress's voice also rang out, "I will use the cold to numb your sense of pain, reducing your suffering to the minimum."
"But because your body isn't fully developed yet, I must be very cautious in the Fusion with your original bones, so the process will be very long. To achieve the best effect, you need to keep your eyes closed. No matter what happens, you must not open them. Feel the changes in your body with your whole heart; otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."
Hmm?
Making Yu Hao close his eyes—what kind of operation is this?
When replacing Yu Hao's bones with a Spirit Bone, shouldn't he be kept awake?
However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't say much. In his heart, the Ice Empress had already become one of their own. Whether it was the advice she gave Huo Yuhao or her oath to the Ice God just now, it made Tianmeng Ice Silkworm trust her.
"As for you, Tianmeng. You need to use your mental force to stabilize Huo Yuhao's spirit. Remember what I said."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's confusion grew, but before he could react, the Ice Empress revealed her original form again. Intense jade-green light began to pulse wildly towards her tail hook. When that jade-green turned into a dripping dark green, the Ice Empress's scorpion tail hook suddenly swung up and stabbed fiercely into Huo Yuhao's coccyx.
Huo Yuhao's body trembled violently. He felt as if his tailbone had been pierced by something in an instant. That sharp and pointed existence pierced through his skin, fascia, and flesh, finally embedding itself firmly into the bone.
The Ice Empress had already begun replacing Yu Hao's bones with her Spirit Bone!
Seeing this scene, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart jolted. Without any hesitation, he directly used his massive mental force to envelop Huo Yuhao's body.
Fully committed, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't notice that a look of satisfaction had already appeared on the Ice Empress's face.
The sky turned into a hazy gray again, and along with this grayness came snowflakes floating in the air.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped significantly. This coldness was different from the bone-chilling cold brought by the Ice Empress; instead, it carried a feeling as if it wanted to bury everything. This feeling caused an ominous premonition to suddenly rise in Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart.
He suddenly felt like he had overlooked something, but for a moment, he had no clue.
In the next instant, a soft sigh suddenly came from the sky.
This sigh didn't seem to come from all directions like the Ice Empress's, but it brought a massive sense of pressure far exceeding hers. This pressure caused Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expression to change drastically.
This pressure, which was even above the Ice Empress's... there was no mistake!
The head of the Three Great Heavens of the Extreme North Land, the Snow Empress—how could she have come here!?
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm completely panicked.
Facing the Ice Empress, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was confident he could still maneuver based on his understanding of her, but facing the Snow Empress... a Million-Year Spirit Beast like him would only be ruthlessly crushed!
Damn it... plans really can never keep up with changes!
