Chapter 25 Convincing the Ice Emperor
"What's wrong?" Li Xingyi asked in confusion.
[Xingyi, don't hesitate, hurry out of the ice cave, let's retreat! The Ice Emperor's tribesmen have noticed something is wrong and are following us. Facing such a large number of Ice Jade Scorpions, we have no chance of winning! ]
Hearing this, Li Xingyi was shocked.
Although the Ice Scorpion population is not large in number, their combat power is top-notch.
Today, the spiritual power of the Dream Ice Silkworm is going to be used to trap the Ice Emperor. With Li Xingyi's strength, he will be vulnerable even if [Nothingness] is activated.
Then he quickly climbed out of the ice cave.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spread out the very little mental power it could control and scanned the surroundings.
[Line 1, run southeast! ]
The great escape begins!
Li Xingyi was running non-stop almost at all costs, and in the second half, even though his body was gradually depleted, he did not dare to stop and forcibly activated the power of [Nothingness].
Fortunately, [Nothingness] can greatly enhance ability, and the speed is the same. Li Xingyi soon left the group of Ice Scorpions behind.
……
After more than ten hours of not eating or sleeping, Li Xingyi finally left the core area of the Far North.
Fortunately, soul masters are different from ordinary people. After an hour of breathing exercises, his condition was almost restored.
"Brother Tianmeng, we have withdrawn 55 miles from the core area, so it should be enough!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spreads out its spiritual power in a straight line.
[It's OK. The Ice Jade Scorpion tribe didn't chase you out. It should be because you used the power of [Nothingness] to quickly distance yourself from them. They were unable to detect the remaining breath of the Ice Emperor.]
Li Xingyi climbed up and said, "Now that it's safe, let's get started. There's no time to lose!"
[I have also prepared this, but before that I still want to remind you that Bingdi is a true 399,900-year-old soul beast, not a useless person like me who only has a lifespan but has had his energy sucked dry.]
[Even if most of this huge power is sealed, the process of absorbing it will produce pain that is almost like tearing your soul apart. There is no way to deal with this process, you can only rely on your willpower to force yourself to get through it. ]
[Now, brother, you, and Hyotei are standing together. If we fail, all three of us will be finished. Do you understand? If you understand, I will start! ]
Li Xing nodded slightly and said, "I understand. I'm ready."
He didn't know to what extent this soul-tearing pain would reach, but he felt that it would never be as terrifying and painful as the emptiness on a rainy night.
Having endured such terror and pain, what else could be a problem?
The next second, the figure transformed from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm drilled into the sea of consciousness and faced the Ice Emperor directly.
And Li Xingyi seemed to have developed two consciousnesses.
One was in his own physical body, and the other was in the sea of spirituality, watching everything that happened to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor from a bystander's perspective.
……
Within the spiritual sea.
Outside of the original mental seal, several golden runes appeared, completely imprisoning the Ice Emperor.
Under such a blockade, Bingdi couldn't even self-destruct.
"Don't struggle, Hyotei. You know it's useless to struggle. Calm down and let's talk."
Ice Emperor's disdainful voice came from the golden ball.
"Hmph! There's nothing to discuss between you and me. What do you want?!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spread his hands and said, "Why are you like this? I just... I just want to stay with the one I love forever!"
"Ha ha……"
The Ice Emperor's sneering voice was heard, and then he said: "Is this the way you love me? Imprisoning me? But you are still that coward. Even after imprisoning me, you still don't dare to see me in your true form." Hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan felt helpless.
"It's not that I don't want to! It's just that my real body is gone, and now I am only left with my spiritual essence. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to use my spiritual power to imprison you like this."
"What? Your body?"
While Bingdi was surprised, she scanned Li Xingyi's body with her spiritual consciousness.
She felt an unknown terrifying force and the power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"This human?"
"Yes."
"You are such a puny human? How did you choose him as your puppet? He is so...well, by human standards, he is indeed very talented, but can you think highly of him?"
To be honest, Li Xingyi wanted to complain about Bingdi at this moment, but in order to save time, he held back and did not speak.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm explained: "No, no, no, I'm not a puppet. I became his spirit ring, an unprecedented intelligent spirit ring on Douluo Continent..."
Afterwards, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm told his experiences of the past 100,000 years.
But Bingdi is not interested in these.
But in the end, the solution that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm came up with made a different look flash in Bingdi's eyes.
For creatures like them who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, they are more afraid of death than humans, whose lifespan is only a few hundred years at most.
Then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's plan to create a god aroused Bingdi's interest.
Ten thousand years ago, the sky and the earth changed color, and Tang San, a human, instantly became a god, with an endless lifespan...
This is the destination that all soul beasts hope for.
But the path for soul beasts to ascend to gods was blocked, and they had no chance. During the countless years that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been sleeping, he had never stopped thinking, and finally he came up with this seemingly absurd idea.
"Bingbing, this is my solution! Since we can't become gods, let's create one! Become a part of him and have infinite life with him. I bet on myself and I succeeded."
"I have become the first wisdom soul ring in history. I will use my knowledge, strength and wisdom to help him become a god!"
"Although I am a waste in your eyes, I still provided him with four soul skills. His development process will surpass anyone in history. His talent is unparalleled..."
After hearing what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, Bingdi was stunned.
To be honest, she had already accepted this approach in her heart.
"Tian Meng, how sure are you?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stretched out a finger and said nothing.
"10%? That's too low. Instead of betting on a 10% chance, I'd rather bet on a natural disaster."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shook his head and said, "One hundred! He will definitely become a god. Even Tang San, who became a god ten thousand years ago, is just as good as Li Xingyi. He has a special power in his body that even a million-year-old soul beast like me has never seen before..."
"You mean the power..."
"That's right! I think that power doesn't belong to humans or soul beasts. It's the power of God! Maybe he was originally chosen as the heir by a certain god, and we are lucky to be attached to him."
Bingdi lowered his head and thought for a long time.
Just now, she also witnessed the power of [nothingness] hidden in Li Xingyi's body. She could not deny that the power might very well come from God.
"call--"
"Stop talking, Tianmeng, I'm joining!"
