Ice Empress, You Don't Want Me to Fail to Become a God Because My Soul Bones Didn't Reach Their Peak, Do You?

After listening to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's grievances, Lin Feng realized that nearly half of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest were Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enemies. Killing all those Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts might lead to some mistakes or omissions, but killing every other one would definitely leave mistakes or omissions.

After once again mocking Third Young Master's math in his heart, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm got down to business.

"By the way, how are your soul rings? Let me take a look. Although those damned bastards ate up every last bit of my Soul Power, I still have some spiritual origin left. See those light clusters beside me? Every single one can raise one of your soul rings from ten years to a hundred thousand years. In other words, aside from my Million-Year Soul Ring, I can give you ten more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings. Impressive, right?"

"That is indeed impressive." Lin Feng nodded, and then six soul rings—black, black, black, black, black, and black-red—appeared around him. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, to turn these first five soul rings into Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings."

"Holy shit! Did I strike gold?" Seeing Lin Feng's five black and one red soul rings, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes lit up. With soul rings of those colors, plus himself as a Million-Year Soul Beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's confidence in his god-making plan soared.

Thus, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not hesitate in the slightest. He directly drew out his own origin and poured it into Lin Feng's first five soul rings.

Very quickly, Lin Feng's five soul rings gradually changed from faint black to pure black, then became black as ink. After that, flecks of red appeared, until the red light burst forth in full brilliance, proving that all five of Lin Feng's soul rings had reached the Hundred-Thousand-Year level.

Feeling the qualitative transformation in his soul rings and Soul Skills, Lin Feng's Soul Power had not increased, but his combat strength had skyrocketed. If he encountered the previous Tang Hao now, Tang Hao would have a hard time escaping from his grasp.

"Alright. Since your Soul Power Level and physical constitution are both so high, let's head straight to the Far North and obtain that high-quality second martial soul for you!"

After sensing Lin Feng's physical condition, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not make him wait like Huo Yuhao had. Instead, he chose to head directly for the Far North.

Lin Feng had no objections. To avoid making Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suspicious, he did not prepare anything to ward off the cold. However, his sixty-seventh-level Soul Power was already enough to let him ignore heat and cold to a great extent. Even in the core region of the Far North, as long as he did not fight ice-attributed soul beasts, Lin Feng would at most feel a little chilly.

Soon, after traveling for some time, Lin Feng arrived in the Far North. As Tian Meng released his aura, Ice Empress was quickly drawn over and then packed away just as Huo Yuhao had been in the original story.

The difference was that Lin Feng moved faster. Moreover, when Tian Meng brought up the god-making plan and Ice Empress's spiritual power swept over Lin Feng's body, she agreed to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's plan without any hesitation.

Compared with Huo Yuhao, whose talent, aptitude, and physical constitution had all been absurdly poor, Lin Feng's sixty-seventh-level Soul Power at seventeen years old, along with six Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, already surpassed Tang San from ten thousand years ago in every respect. Ice Empress had no reason to refuse. After all, she had not rejected even Huo Yuhao, whose aptitude had been so poor.

"Lin Feng, in a moment, I'll transform my own power into a soul bone and fuse with you first. I've already decided that the most suitable form for my soul bone should be a spinal bone. Since I have cultivated for nearly four hundred thousand years, I am confident that during the fusion, I can replace your spine, all your ribs, and your sternum."

After agreeing to Tian Meng's god-making plan, Ice Empress quickly made the same decision as in the original story: bone first, then ring. However, Lin Feng, who had not had time to speak because Ice Empress had agreed too quickly, opened his mouth at this point.

"Wait a moment, Ice Empress."

Ice Empress was startled by Lin Feng's sudden interruption. "What is it? Is there a problem?"

"If you can choose what kind of soul bone to produce this time, I hope it will be a left arm, left hand, and left shoulder blade."

Ice Empress frowned upon hearing that. "Left arm? Lin Feng, do you think you'll encounter a better soul bone in the future than one from a soul beast with nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Of course. I already promised Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that I would help him take revenge on those soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian, Xiong Jun, Myriad Monster King—their soul bones all have a greater age than yours. In addition, Sea God Tang San from ten thousand years ago had a torso bone close to a million years old. If I want a safer path to godhood, then my configuration can only be stronger than his, not weaker. Therefore, when it comes to torso bones, Di Tian is the best choice."

"If possible, once my cultivation reaches level ninety-nine, I'll also search the deep sea for soul beasts with cultivation close to a million years."

"Only by building a foundation that surpasses everyone can I stand above everyone and achieve godhood."

"Ice Empress, you don't want me to fail to become a god because my soul bones didn't reach their peak, do you?"

Ice Empress: "..."

After a long silence, Ice Empress nodded. "Indeed, I underestimated the difficulty of becoming a god and did not think things through enough. In that case, we'll do as you say: the left arm, left hand, and left shoulder blade."

Lin Feng nodded. "By the way, Ice Empress, can an External Soul Bone grant Soul Skills? A soul beast with nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation can only add four Soul Skills like an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Isn't that a little too few? Also, what skills do you have? Can I choose?"

After a brief silence, Ice Empress felt that Lin Feng seemed to have a point. She began explaining the Soul Skills she could grant him, and after a long discussion, Lin Feng and Ice Empress settled on eight Soul Skills that she would give him.

They were as follows: First Soul Ring Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Grasp!

Effect: It ignored physical defense and forcibly stunned the enemy for eight seconds. If the opponent was an ice-attributed soul master but did not possess Extreme Ice, then against someone of the same level, they would directly lose the ability to resist.

Second Soul Ring Soul Skill: Ice Jade Scorpion Tail.

First Palm Bone Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Grip, greatly increasing the hand's gripping strength while possessing internal destructive properties. Once caught, it could not be defended against.

Second Palm Bone Soul Skill: Flash Freeze Ray, which could release a ray that instantly froze a person. It was an instant-cast Soul Skill.

First Left Arm Bone Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Power, greatly increasing strength.

Second Left Arm Bone Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Wrath, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's strongest offensive skill.

First Shoulder Blade Bone Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Protection.

Second Shoulder Blade Bone Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Armor. These two defensive Soul Skills could enhance Lin Feng's physical constitution and form defenses from solid ice.

Lin Feng did not choose the Domain Type Soul Skill, Perpetual Freeze Domain, that Ice Empress had given Huo Yuhao in the original story. Domains were best inscribed into one's martial soul. Tang San's Blue Silver Domain and Divine Slaughter's Domain had both evolved because they were martial soul domains, whereas Huo Yuhao's Perpetual Freeze Domain had ultimately become fusion material for the Snow Dance Ice Extreme Domain. Therefore, Lin Feng believed it was better to comprehend domains himself. In any case, with Ice Empress around, it would not be much of a problem.
