Great Upheaval in the Far North

"Hm?"

Before Ye Fan could make a move to discipline Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the God of Destruction's consciousness had already descended into Ye Fan's spiritual sea.

With a raised hand, the power of destruction transformed into ropes that bound Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual body was assaulted by the power of destruction, continuously emitting white smoke as the entire beast wailed in agony.

Just as Ye Fan wanted to speak up and dissuade the God of Destruction, "Teacher!~"

The God of Destruction stopped him with a raised hand. Ye Fan saw the God of Destruction gaze down at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with one eye and say, "Big bug, logically speaking, Ice Empress is about to face her 400,000-year heavenly tribulation."

"With her foundation, she simply cannot survive this tribulation."

"And sacrificing herself to Ye Fan and becoming his third soul ring is Ice Empress's only way out."

"Y-you-you-you, how do you know all that~?!"

After hearing the God of Destruction's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face filled with terror.

Its entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Nearby, Dark Demon Ape was likewise trembling in fear at the God of Destruction's destructive aura, hiding in Ye Fan's spiritual sea without daring to make a sound.

Ye Fan saw all of this.

He could not help sighing inwardly again. Teacher is far too mysterious. He even knows Ice Empress's secrets like the back of his hand.

Everything points to one fact: Teacher is also a transmigrator.

I'd better cling tightly to Teacher.

Thus, Ye Fan abandoned the thought of stopping the God of Destruction and quietly watched him perform.

The God of Destruction did not disappoint Ye Fan. In the end, he said to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm again, "Big bug, as long as you wholeheartedly help Ye Fan, I guarantee that you will have a place in the Divine Realm in the future."

"What can you use to guarantee that?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm retorted instinctively.

The next instant, the God of Destruction turned sideways again, his entire body facing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

The God of Destruction stared directly into Tianmeng's spiritual body, sending an invisible divine thought into Tianmeng's spiritual sea.

"You are?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had just begun to speak when the God of Destruction's voice sounded in its mind. "Big bug, do you want to die? Didn't I tell you not to speak and not to expose my identity?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at the God of Destruction with reverence in its eyes. There was no resentment there, only awe.

At the same time, it proactively said to Ye Fan, "Brother Fan, you don't need to go through so much trouble. Leave the matter of planning against Ice Empress to me."

"As long as I release my spiritual power, the Northern Three Heavenly Kings will basically come running as long as they're not occupied."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan glanced at the God of Destruction. He was extremely curious about what the God of Destruction had said to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to make this big bug change its attitude so quickly.

However, the God of Destruction gave Ye Fan no chance to ask. The next second, he returned to the ring.

Leaving behind only Ye Fan, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and Dark Demon Ape.

Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, Ye Fan was delighted. "Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you, Tianmeng."

Afterward, Ye Fan returned to the real world as well.

Quietly watching Tianmeng Ice Silkworm perform.

"Brother Fan, this is my cast-off shell!"

The next instant, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hurriedly spoke to Ye Fan. The moment its words fell, a crystalline white shadow landed in Ye Fan's palm, transforming into a small, exquisite ice-blue shell identical in appearance to its true body. Spiritual energy swirled around it, radiating a dense aura of spiritual origin.

Before Ye Fan could lower his head to inspect it carefully, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rapidly gave instructions, meticulously explaining the entire method of using the cast-off shell to trap Ice Empress, making every detail perfectly clear.

"Leave the rest to me!"

Its tone was resolute as it respectfully said, "Brother Fan, let me temporarily take control of your body."

Ye Fan immediately agreed. "All right!"

In an instant, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual power spread out completely and steadily took over Ye Fan's body. A vast, ancient, gentle, and majestic unique spiritual aura belonging solely to it slowly spread from Ye Fan, sweeping across the entire Far North.

The Far North was frozen for thousands of miles, with frigid winds howling as abnormalities arose simultaneously in three dangerous regions.

One was deep within the ancient ice cavern where Ice Empress dwelled. Her entire body was crystalline ice, her slender beastly form covered in shimmering ice patterns. Her azure eyes were cold and sharp, while bone-piercing extreme frost energy curled around her.

Sensing the familiar spiritual fluctuation, wild joy instantly erupted in her eyes. She let out a low cry. "Big bug, after disappearing for so many years, I've finally found you! With you, I'll be certain to survive my approaching 400,000-year heavenly tribulation!"

As her words fell, her figure flashed, transforming into an ice-blue streak of light that sped away.

At the same time, in two other dangerous regions of the Far North, a white giant ape and a white ice bear slowly opened their eyes.

They were none other than the Far North's overlords, the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King.

They both muttered, "It's that big bug's aura."

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Very soon, the Titan Snow Demon King stood atop a towering ice peak. His body was colossal and majestic, covered in thick gray-white ice armor. Every inch of his flesh contained immense power capable of shaking mountains and rivers. Billowing snow mist coiled around him as his tyrannical beastly might swept across the land.

He took a single step, and the thousand-year ice beneath his feet instantly shattered and collapsed. A thunderous boom pierced the wind and snow as he charged wildly toward that familiar spiritual aura, moving at a terrifying speed.

Close behind him came the Ice Bear King. Its snow-white fur was flawless and without a trace of another color. Though its body appeared bloated, its explosive power was astonishing. Fierce icy baleful energy lingered around it, and its savage pressure made the surrounding low-level soul beasts tremble and prostrate themselves.

It let out repeated low growls, crushing through the snowstorm as it closely followed the Titan Snow Demon King's footsteps, rushing together toward Ye Fan's location.

For a time, the beasts of the entire Far North stirred restlessly. Countless soul beasts, large and small, rushed from their nests, surging together along the spiritual fluctuations of the same origin. The entire frozen land fell into an unprecedented soul beast riot.

Deep within a shadowy snow valley where no one noticed, a hidden barrier quietly concealed a group of mysterious figures dressed in black. They suppressed their auras and lay in silent ambush.

The leader's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at the restless snowfield outside. His brows furrowed, and he shouted in a low voice:

"Myriad Souls! The soul beasts of the Far North have suddenly gone berserk. You need to speed up your soul refining!"

"Delay may bring unforeseen changes!"

"Got it. Heh heh heh!"

Over at Ye Fan's side!

At this moment, Ye Fan was vigilantly watching his surroundings.

"Strange, I locked onto that big bug. It should be right here! How did it vanish into thin air?"

"Hmm, human boy, have you seen a snow-white silkworm-type soul beast?"

Suddenly, an emerald-green figure descended nearby with a hesitant look on her face.

That figure was searching around for something.

Soon, she locked her attention onto Ye Fan.

From her aura and appearance, Ye Fan could guess that she was one of the Northern Three Heavenly Kings—Ice Empress.

Before Ye Fan could answer, Ice Empress continued, "Human, why do you carry that big bug's aura?"

As she spoke, Ice Empress had already formed a hand from soul power and reached for Ye Fan's throat.

"Ice Empress, long time no see." It was at that moment that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, controlling Ye Fan's body, made its move.

The instant Ice Empress approached, Tianmeng's cast-off shell was thrown from his hand.
