Ultimate Ice

Ultimate Ice

"Tian Meng, are you messing with me?!"

You spent all that time describing such a wonderful plan that even I was tempted, and now you're telling me the plan has been disrupted?!

Are you kidding me?!

Seeing signs that the Ice Empress was about to fly into a rage, Tian Meng knew she had taken the joke too far and hurriedly said,

"Wait, Bingbing, let me finish!"

The Ice Empress looked coldly at Tian Meng, but her movements came to a halt.

Tian Meng let out a slight sigh of relief and hurriedly looked down at the person watching everything below.

"Yuhao! Show Bingbing your strength!"

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. Before coming here, Tian Meng had told him about her plan and insisted that he cooperate with her properly.

He had no choice but to indulge her.

Closing his eyes, Huo Yuhao manifested the phantom of the Eye of Destiny at his brow. At the same time, the aura belonging to a Divine Artifact emerged!

The Ice Empress froze in place, her eyes fixed tightly on the human below, filled with disbelief.

A Divine Artifact?! Then this person, could he be...

The Ice Empress paused and looked toward Tian Meng beside her.

Yet Tian Meng had raised her chin, hands on her hips, and said with immense pride, "Well? Impressive, right!"

It wasn't you who was impressive! What are you so proud of?!

The Ice Empress desperately wanted to retort, but sensing the aura of the Divine Artifact from Huo Yuhao's brow, she found herself unable to say a word.

After a moment of silence, she looked at Tian Meng.

"What do I need to do?"

"Huh? Bingbing, you agree?"

Tian Meng blinked. She had still been thinking about how to persuade the Ice Empress further, yet she had agreed just like that?

Hmm. Fine. The original plan to force Bingbing into signing the contract could be abandoned.

The Ice Empress did not answer. The situation was simply too clear now.

That was a Divine Artifact!

Anyone capable of using a Divine Artifact had to be either a Deity or a Deity's successor!

And even if this human was neither, the fact that he could use a Divine Artifact still proved his talent. Coupled with the plan Tian Meng had told her about earlier, the Ice Empress's choice became clear in an instant.

Seeing the Ice Empress's expression, Tian Meng knew the matter was settled. Looking to the side, Huo Yuhao had already silently appeared beside them. At the same time, the Soul Spirit Contract gradually took shape amid the weaving of various powers.

"Let's find somewhere secluded first."

A short while later, inside a hidden cave.

A jade-green scorpion lay prone to one side. Before it stood a petite girl with green hair in twin tails and golden eyes.

The girl wore a short dress of white and green. Its cut perfectly displayed her fair, slender legs while further emphasizing her petite charm. The folds at the hem were exquisite and delicate, every detail highlighting her unique allure.

More notably, perhaps because her form had been shaped from Spiritual Power, she retained some of her original characteristics.

A jade-green scorpion tail swayed gently behind her, lending her an even more distinctive air.

"I only need to sign this contract?"

"Mhm, that's right, Bingbing. After that, just leave everything to Yuhao! Let me tell you, Yuhao is really incredibly amazing, and also—"

"Shut up!"

"..." Seeing that the Ice Empress seemed about to get angry again, the excited Tian Meng dejectedly closed her mouth and silently ran back to Huo Yuhao's side for comfort.

"It's all right, Sister Tianmeng. Leave the rest to me."

Huo Yuhao comforted her before turning to the Ice Empress.

"After we sign the contract, I'll control your body and use it to condense a soul ring for myself in your place. Afterward, with you as the foundation, you'll become my second Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao explained.

But suddenly, an aged voice rang out.

"Yuhao. I have a different idea."

Electrolux suddenly appeared. Compared to more than ten days ago, his figure was now clearly more solid, and even his aura had become deeper.

The Ice Empress instinctively took a step back. The essence of this old man's aura was simply too terrifying, having reached a level she could not comprehend at all!

Another Deity?!

At that moment, the Ice Empress suddenly understood why Tian Meng had repeatedly told her with such confidence, "We'll win!" and "We'll definitely succeed!"

It seemed she had made a rather good choice.

"Teacher?"

Huo Yuhao stopped what he was doing, somewhat puzzled.

"In this Soul Spirit Contract of yours, I saw some familiar things."

"I modified it using the knowledge you taught me. Is there a problem, Teacher?"

"No, that's not it. It's just that regarding what you said earlier about making this little scorpion your Martial Soul, I don't think that's necessary," Electrolux said.

"Not necessary?" Huo Yuhao blinked, unable to quite understand. After all, that had been his setup in his previous life, and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Martial Soul had helped him greatly.

Therefore, when planning for this life, Huo Yuhao had thought the same way. Yet now, Elder Yi seemed to have an entirely new idea.

"Over the past few days, apart from recovering, I also read the books you left for me and gained a rough understanding of this world's power system.

"Though the worlds differ, some principles are universal. The purer something is, the more powerful it becomes."

As Electrolux spoke, he pointed at Huo Yuhao's eyes. "Just like your Spirit Eye Martial Soul: its essence is spiritual power. Or the second Martial Soul the little worm gave you: its essence is ice.

"The difference is that the spiritual power of your Spirit Eye Martial Soul has already manifested through your 'eyes,' while your 'ice' Martial Soul has yet to take shape."

Listening to Electrolux, Huo Yuhao lowered his head in thought. Suddenly seeming to realize something, he looked up at Electrolux.

"Teacher, you mean..."

"Yes, exactly what you're thinking." Electrolux nodded gently and smiled. "Use this little scorpion's Ultimate Ice as material to evolve your still-unformed ice Martial Soul into a purer Ultimate Ice Martial Soul.

"Completely cast off the restraints of physical form and become the purest ice."

Tian Meng and the Ice Empress were already speechless.

A pure Ultimate Ice Martial Soul... Th-this was far too outrageous!

After all, the strongest Ice Attribute being in their understanding was Snow Empress!

Formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of heaven and earth, Snow Empress was a Soul Beast naturally born from the energy of heaven and earth! It could be said that she was the born king of the Extreme North!

But even so, Snow Empress was still a Heavenly Snow Woman. She possessed a physical form and had not escaped the constraints of form.

Yet now, Electrolux wanted Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul to retain the pure essence of ice it currently possessed, then directly advance it into Ultimate Ice!

A pure Ultimate Ice Martial Soul without any restraints, unrestricted by form.

What an utterly mad idea!
