The sky gradually darkened, growing especially oppressive.
After calling out, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wasn't in a hurry. It simply waited quietly.
After all, Huo Yuhao had its back, so it wasn't worried in the slightest.
Of course, it hadn't forgotten to cover the Ice House where Huo Yuhao was with its spiritual power.
As Huo Yuhao's aura disappeared, the light surrounding Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grew brighter.
The aura it had just simulated belonged to the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North!
Snow Empress!
It could drive away other Soul Beasts and, even more importantly, draw the Ice Empress's attention!
Naturally, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had avoided the area where Snow Empress was.
It wasn't stupid enough to make that kind of mistake.
Its shed skin could trap at most one opponent. If Snow Empress showed up, it would be completely done for!
Besides, as far as it knew, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress were close friends!
If Snow Empress really came, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was afraid even the person backing Huo Yuhao wouldn't be able to bail them out!
This was the Far North, after all!
Fighting in this environment would raise Snow Empress and Ice Empress's combat power by at least one full level!
One was approaching four hundred thousand years, and her strength would rise by a level!
The other was approaching seven hundred thousand years, and her strength would rise by a level!
And if their opponent didn't have ice attributes, their combat power would fall even further!
How the hell could anyone fight that?
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm figured that even if a Limit Douluo intervened, the most they could do was defeat them. They couldn't kill them outright!
If it really came down to a fight to the death, the Ice and Snow Emperors might self-destruct and take the Limit Douluo down with them!
Huo Yuhao sat calmly on a stool, waiting in silence.
With Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power as a conduit, he could clearly sense thousands upon thousands of Soul Beasts scattering in terror!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might not be much of a fighter, but its spiritual power was the strongest on the continent!
Those low-level Soul Beasts couldn't possibly tell that Snow Empress's aura was fake!
Even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts couldn't tell the difference!
"Strange. Why hasn't she come yet? It's been so long." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was puzzled.
By rights, the Ice Empress should have arrived by now.
Its spiritual power covered a full third of the Core Circle of the Far North!
Even if the Ice Empress wasn't in her own territory, she should have sensed it!
What's more, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had just spoken so brazenly!
The Ice Empress couldn't possibly fail to recognize it!
And once she did, she would definitely come!
It was certain!
No beast could refuse such a huge source of nourishment as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!
Especially since the Ice Empress wasn't far from her fourth Heavenly Tribulation!
And there was almost no chance she would survive it!
Her origin had been damaged when she broke through the three-hundred-thousand-year mark!
That was why Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was utterly certain the Ice Empress would come!
Only by absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would she have a chance of surviving this Heavenly Tribulation and reaching four hundred thousand years!
She had no other choice!
Even if it was a trap, she had to take the bait!
"She's here!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's lips curved slightly upward.
It had already sensed the Ice Empress's aura!
A streak of emerald light spread across the pitch-black sky!
In an instant, the entire sky turned emerald!
The oppressive atmosphere vanished at once!
"Sky Dream, you actually dared to come back and court death. But I have to give you credit—you really are the Far North's champion survivor. You're still alive!"
The Ice Empress was cautious. Her voice came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint her location by sound.
And, of course, she was testing it!
As her voice rang out, a terrifying sonic attack surged toward Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!
Snow blasted several meters into the air!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power wasn't for show. The area within a hundred meters of its body remained untouched.
"Ice Empress, you're still alive. How could I, the Far North's longest-lived one, be dead?"
"Do you remember what I said back then?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was about to continue, but the Ice Empress cut it off.
"Shut up!"
At that moment, the emerald sky turned dark green!
The area protected by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power shrank in an instant!
It was now only ten meters wide!
But it was spiritual power, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's greatest strength!
"Don't rush. Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't seen each other in so long, and you can't wait to kill me?"
"Do you know why I came back now?"
"Because you have only a hundred years left!"
"And your origin is damaged. There's no way you can survive this Heavenly Tribulation!"
"So I came back!"
"Just so you could keep on living!"
The Ice Empress said gently, "There's no need to make such a fuss. Come on, let me eat you! Then I'll be sure to survive this Heavenly Tribulation!"
"That would count as living on, wouldn't it?"
"I'll remember you forever, too."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was thrown off. "What kind of twisted logic is that?"
"Forget it. Let's not talk about that. It's been so many years. Are you sure you won't come see me in person?"
As it spoke, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm glanced around nervously.
"Since you came all this way to offer yourself as food, how could I refuse?"
"Wait for me. I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Then you'll feel my love as I slowly devour you, bite by bite!"
"Tch, I'm sick of hearing that. By the way, was that joke from back then true? Did you really fall for Snow Empress?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked curiously.
"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm! You're asking for death! I'll kill you in the most cruel way imaginable!"
The Ice Empress had lost her composure. Her voice brimmed with fury!
The dark green sky grew even deeper!
She took the bait!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm smiled faintly. It had been trying to provoke the Ice Empress all along.
"Here we go!"
"Mm."
And just then, the Ice Empress appeared!
The sky turned emerald once more!
Almost instantly, a Soul Beast appeared opposite Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gazed at her, dazed. "You finally came."
When the Ice Empress saw that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body was merely condensed from spiritual power, she looked puzzled.
"Sky Dream, what's the point of this little trick?"
"Do you think I can't find your real body?" the Ice Empress said coldly.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued to gaze at her, dazed. "As I thought. I remembered correctly—your tail has fused into five segments. It looks like your time is almost up."
"Did you come here just to run your mouth, then die at my hands?" the Ice Empress snorted disdainfully.
"Of course not. I came so you could keep on living."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was about to continue, but the Ice Empress didn't give it the chance.
Her tail pierced straight through Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body!
"Though I don't know what scheme you're up to, since you've delivered yourself to me, how could I possibly refuse?"
"I would've liked to chat a little longer, but it seems that won't be possible."
The pierced body of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shot toward the Ice Empress!
The Ice Empress had sensed something was wrong, but she was already too late!
In the blink of an eye!
The Ice Empress felt Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power trap her!
A terrifying nine hundred thousand points of spiritual power!
It made it incredibly difficult for her to move!
"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, have you lost your mind?!"
"Doing this can only hold me for a second or two!"
"That's enough."
Just as the Ice Empress prepared to break free with all her strength, she discovered that she had lost the ability to move!
At last, the Ice Empress felt fear!
Even using all her strength, she couldn't break free!
The Ice Empress, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, had been bound just like that!
"Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, you useless piece of trash! How could you possibly bind me?"
"Nothing is impossible. I've waited far too long for this moment."
"I'll explain everything, but not now. We have to go." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm smiled faintly.
Just as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was about to leave!!!!!
"Go? Where do you think you're taking my Bing'er!"
