"All right……"
Tian Meng stopped trying to dissuade him, as she was also able to find out Huo Yuhao’s physical condition.
One man and one silkworm continued to move north.
Huo Yuhao would not let go of such a good opportunity for cultivation easily. He always maintained the release of spiritual detection sharing, and his mental power and soul power improved rapidly in the process of continuous training.
After entering the Far North, Tian Meng almost never returned to the Sea of Spirits. She wanted to personally step on this land that nurtured her.
As early as in college, Huo Yuhao had already heard from Tian Meng about all the situations in the Far North.
This is the paradise for ice-attributed soul beasts.
There are countless ice-attributed soul beasts living in the Far North, and the extremely cold environment provides them with a unique training aid. In such a harsh environment, few soul masters dare to go deep into the Far North to hunt soul beasts.
Therefore, the overall strength of the soul beasts in the Far North is not inferior to that of the Star Dou Great Forest. In this home of ice and snow, their combat effectiveness is increased by several percent.
The number of hundred thousand year soul beasts in the Far North may even be greater than that in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The three most powerful of these hundred thousand year soul beasts are called the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. They are the true rulers of the Far North!
The target of Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng’s trip is one of the three great kings of the Far North!
With the help of one of the three great kings of the Far North, the level of the ice martial soul has evolved to the ultimate ice. This is the major event that Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng have been planning for nearly a year!
As for who was one of the three great kings of the Far North, Huo Yuhao had already seen him in Tianmeng's memory.
After another three or four days, Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng had completely entered the core area of the Far North and stopped moving forward.
"Yuhao...how about...how about we go back..."
It was about to begin, but Tian Meng became hesitant and began to have the idea of backing out.
The power of extreme ice is certainly tempting, but the consequences of failure are complete destruction.
After being with Huo Yuhao for a year, Tian Meng suddenly had a new idea in his mind.
She didn't want to become a god that much anymore, and eternal life didn't seem that attractive. If she could stay with Huo Yuhao like this forever and spend the short life of a human being, wouldn't that be quite happy?
Huo Yuhao knocked her on the head with his finger knuckle.
"Go to hell, I've come all this way and you're telling me to give up, then wouldn't it be a waste of Brother Hao's trip?"
Tian Meng: "But...but that guy is really scary..."
Huo Yuhao grinned: "You are afraid, but isn't that guy afraid? When it comes to cooperation, it's all about coercion and inducement."
"You said that guy has been practicing for more than 399,900 years and is about to face a 400,000-year catastrophe, right?"
Tian Meng nodded: "And she had already injured her origin when she broke through 300,000 years, so she will most likely not survive this catastrophe."
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers. “That’s it. So we need to explain to it the benefits of joining us. It won’t live long anyway, so it might as well join us. This is inducement.”
Tian Meng hesitated and said, "Then...what if she would rather die than obey?"
“Didn’t you come up with this plan? Why are you hesitating now?” Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. “If bribery doesn’t work, then we’ll have to use intimidation. After you control it, I’ll talk to it directly.”
"If it obeys, that's great; if it doesn't, the worst that can happen is that we both perish together!"
Tian Meng was struck by lightning and said hurriedly: "How...how can this be...Yuhao, don't do anything stupid!"
Huo Yuhao said: “Tian Meng, when a weak person holds a weapon that can threaten a strong person, even if he knows that using this weapon will kill him and the strong person, he must show his determination and courage to die together.”
“Only in this way will the strong be afraid of the power of the weak, dare not ignore the demands of the weak, and reach a temporary compromise with the weak.”
"If we are timid and give up the initiative because we are worried about our own safety, it will give the powerful an opportunity to take advantage of us, and there will be no peace."
"The more you dare to fight, the less you will fight; the less you care about security, the safer you will be. This is the dialectical relationship between war and peace."
"Tianmeng, get ready to start!"
Tian Meng took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to lure that guy out now. Yuhao, you hide first."
Huo Yuhao nodded and hid in a newly dug ice cellar.
Tian Meng closed his eyes and gently opened his arms. Strong spiritual fluctuations emanated from his body, and the soul ring behind Huo Yuhao suddenly changed from white to brilliant gold.
Several balls of golden light emerged from Huo Yuhao's body and rushed towards their original owner. The golden light gathered beside Tian Meng, and then gradually formed a phantom of a golden giant silkworm behind her.
Tian Meng suddenly opened her eyes, and the strong mental fluctuations immediately turned into an invisible surging wave, spreading rapidly around her.
The wind and snow over the entire Far North seemed to have stopped, transforming into gorgeous golden and white aurora in the gray sky.
At this moment, the aura of Tian Meng, the one and only million-year-old soul beast on the Douluo Continent, was truly revealed.
Under the coverage of that terrifying mental power, thousands of soul beasts were fleeing in terror.
Tianmeng's mental power is truly the best in the entire continent.
But no matter how powerful it is, it is just mental strength, and some strong people don't care.
Huo Yuhao hid in the ice and snow, quietly waiting for a strong man who didn't care about this mental power.
Time passed slowly, and suddenly, a terrifying pressure came, and the golden-white aurora in the sky began to change to a strange emerald green color.
"You are indeed here."
Tian Meng suddenly spoke in a low voice, his golden eyes staring in the direction of the emerald green.
"ice King!"
Chapter 87 Ice Emperor
"It's been a long time since we last met, Tianmeng. You're still alive."
A clear sound accompanied by a terrifying pressure rang out from all directions, and the snow in the distance was stirred up several meters high like waves. However, the area within a hundred meters around Tianmeng remained calm under the cover of spiritual power.
"I thought you, a coward, had died in the sea."
The clear voice said coldly, with a condescending disdain in its tone.
The owner of this voice is the second of the three great kings of the Far North - Ice Emperor.
When the voice sounded, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown. The severe cold around him became even more severe, corroding his body.
But the original coldness in his body seemed to be excited, greedily absorbing this extremely cold force.
Tian Meng took a deep breath and shouted to the front: "Ice Emperor, I am no longer a coward! I have broken through the million-year soul beast. I came here today to take revenge on you. Prepare to die..."
ice King:"……"
Bingdi was silent for a while, then burst into a showy laugh.
"Hahahahahahaha - you coward, why don't you find a place to wait for death and actually dare to come back? Should I say that you overestimate your own abilities, or that you can't recognize the gap?"
"Do you think that just because you've lived for a million years, your fighting power can match mine? Apart from the mental power that can only deceive the weak, what else do you have? Do you think it can be of any use to me? Hahahaha——"
Tian Meng interrupted her laughter and shouted, "Bingdi, stop giggling and come out to see me!"
"Interesting." Bingdi's voice was a little excited, "I want to see what you rely on!"
After he finished speaking, another snow wave arose in front of Tianmeng, and the emerald green aurora in the sky shot out a ray of light that shone on the snow wave, dyeing it emerald green.
"Yuhao, she is coming!" Tianmeng said silently.
“Yeah.” Huo Yuhao responded calmly, gathering all his soul power to feel the chill from the other person.
The extreme chill made his body tremble slightly, but it soon turned into a stream of clear water and flowed into his dantian, which was of great benefit to him.
At this moment, the mysterious Ice Emperor finally showed up.
Huo Yuhao had already seen the true form of Ice Emperor in Tian Meng’s memories, but at this moment he still couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
It was a scorpion that radiated a mysterious green light all over its body, like a perfect sculpture made of emerald.
The Ice Emperor is only 1.5 meters long, and his body is covered with countless diamond-like hexagonal protrusions that sparkle with brilliant light, reflecting brilliant green light under the aurora.
It has six legs and a pair of one-meter-long giant scorpion claws in front. Golden eyes and silvery mouthparts...
Behind the Ice Emperor was a long tail. At the end of the emerald green scorpion tail was a tail needle that emitted a cold glow.
Judging from the appearance, the Ice Emperor does not look like a terrifying hundred thousand year old soul beast, but rather like a perfect diamond-made work of art.
As an arthropod, its gorgeousness is no less than that of the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
This is the Ice Emperor’s true form—the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion!
After not seeing each other for tens of thousands of years, Tian Meng couldn't help but swallow his saliva and mustered up his courage to say, "Ice Emperor, very good, you finally dared to come out to see Master Tian Meng."
"Lord Tianmeng? Stop making me laugh." Bingdi said contemptuously, "Why are you in such a pitiful human form now? Where is your true form?"
It observed for a while, then asked doubtfully, "Did you transform into a human to cultivate again? No, this is just an ordinary transformation. But where is the aura of your original body?"
"Humph, Master Tianmeng has already broken through the bottleneck of a million years. How could a little scorpion like you who is about to face a catastrophe see through it?"
"Okay, very good!" Bingdi had no teeth, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Since you came to me, I can only absorb your energy with great difficulty. That way, no catastrophe will be a problem for me."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until then!"
Tian Meng suddenly shouted loudly, and his vast mental power enveloped Bingdi.
Bingdi suddenly paused, feeling an inexplicable fear, and angrily said: "Tianmeng, do you think you can trap me with your mental power alone? How long can you trap me? One second or two seconds?"
Tian Meng wiped the cold sweat from his face and smiled: "One second is enough."
A layer of pale white light film suddenly appeared on the ground, and gathered like a big net, tightly wrapping the Ice Emperor inside.
"what is this?"
The Ice Emperor was terrified and twisted wildly, but the strong sense of restraint made it unable to move. He released powerful skills one after another, but could not destroy the light film at all.
"Tian Meng, what on earth did you do, you coward?"
The Ice Emperor's large scorpion claws and tail stinger were completely suppressed, and the Ice Emperor, one of the three great kings of the Far North, lost his ability to move.
Tian Meng said proudly: "This is the remains of Master Tian Meng, it is very solid, Xiao Bingbing, don't waste your energy struggling."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and walked out from the ice and snow where he was hiding.
"Tian Meng, good job. Okay, now that everyone has calmed down, we can start the negotiations."
Ice Emperor looked at Huo Yuhao warily and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
It was extremely surprised.
This is the core area of the Far North, where almost no human has ever set foot. How did he get here?
