Ice Empress's Choice, Add Me In

The gleaming white-blue shed skin suddenly rose and unfurled, transforming into a hazy, gentle curtain of light that instantly enveloped Ice Empress's delicate body like a streak of radiance.

Before Ice Empress's soul power hand could touch Ye Fan in the slightest, layers of misty spiritual origin power tightly bound her limbs and soul power channels.

The bone-piercing extreme cold aura was completely suppressed and dispersed. The icy patterns of light flowing around her rapidly dimmed, while the condensed humanoid soul power body outside her gradually faded away.

Under the repeated restraints and cleansing of the shed skin, Ice Empress gradually returned to her true form, becoming a petite and exquisite Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. Her scorpion body shimmered with a clear ice-blue glow, and her lively jade-green eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

She stared blankly at Ye Fan before her, sensing that incomparably familiar and vast spiritual aura. Trembling, she cried out, "You're Tianmeng! You succeeded?"

Ice Empress had been subdued by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Ye Fan then regained control of his body.

Ye Fan curiously examined Ice Empress, the ferocious beast of the extreme north, before him.

He said apologetically, "I am not Tianmeng Ice Silkworm."

As he spoke, Ye Fan released Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's beast spirit.

He let him negotiate with Ice Empress.

Ice Empress saw Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's plump body fly out from Ye Fan's glabella moments later.

"Tianmeng, it's you? This was all your scheme."

"You actually joined forces with a human to plot against me?"

Seeing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's condition and connecting the events, Ice Empress quickly understood what had happened.

Most likely, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had joined forces with the person before her and used his spiritual power to plot against her, all to capture her.

"I'm sorry, Ice Empress. I did this for your own good."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expression turned ugly from Ice Empress's rebuke.

"For my own good? Then I thank you!~"

Frost escaped Ice Empress's mouth as she said this.

"You're welcome~~"

Even God of Destruction, dense as he was, could tell Ice Empress was being sarcastic. Yet Tianmeng Ice Silkworm foolishly thought she was sincerely thanking him.

"Ahhh! You disgusting big bug, didn't you say you liked me?"

"This is how you treat me?"

"You sold me to a human."

As Ice Empress mocked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, she also called upon her soul power, attempting to break through his shed skin.

Even Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, foolish as he was, could now hear Ice Empress's dissatisfaction with him.

But because of his affection for Ice Empress, he could only endure it in silence.

Unfortunately, against Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's million-year foundation, even Ice Empress, one of the Northern Three Heavenly Kings, could not escape while being restrained by Tianmeng's shed skin.

In the end, Ice Empress fell silent for a while.

Then she said, "Big bug, if you know what's good for you, release me now. Otherwise, Snow Empress won't let you off."

Hearing Snow Empress's name, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could not help but tremble all over, instinctively wanting to retreat.

But in the next instant, a terrifying divine thought struck directly at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mind. "Big bug, why are you wasting time with her?"

"Handle the important business!"

Hearing that voice, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally steadied himself. He gently said to the trapped Ice Empress, "Ice Empress, I came here to save you."

"Save me?"

"Yes. You should soon be facing your four-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, right?"

"You always wanted to devour me before. It should have been to prepare for this heavenly tribulation."

Ice Empress fell silent.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued, "I believe you aren't confident of surviving this heavenly tribulation, so I came."

"To bring you hope of becoming a god."

As he spoke, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm puckered his mouth toward one side, signaling Ice Empress to look at Ye Fan nearby.

Hearing this, Ice Empress abruptly raised her head. Her eyes shone brightly as she sized up Ye Fan from head to toe.

"Tianmeng, have you lost your mind?"

"Him? A little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet."

"Why should I believe he can become a god?"

"He is..."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had just wanted to defend Ye Fan.

"Ice Empress, his name is Ye Fan. He has twin martial souls!"

"Thirty levels of Innate Full Soul Power!"

"His martial souls possess ultimate attributes from birth!"

With every sentence Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke, the light in Ice Empress's eyes deepened.

But constrained by her pride, Ice Empress still stubbornly said:

"Is that all?~"

Ice Empress's arrogance, combined with Tianmeng's incompetence, completely enraged God of Destruction.

Then, God of Destruction's terrifying divine thought shot from Ye Fan's fingertip once more and pierced Ice Empress's glabella.

"What if you add me, Destruction~..."

Rumble!

It felt as if Ice Empress's head had exploded.

Her entire body began trembling violently.

"You are~!"

Ice Empress then looked at Ye Fan with terror and said:

"Shut up. Is something wrong with all you soul beasts? I told you not to reveal my identity."

"None of you ever remember."

No one knew what secret technique God of Destruction had used.

Ice Empress's entire delicate body was wracked with agony.

"Ah!!!"

"My lord, I was wrong."

Seeing this, Ye Fan knew that the teacher within the ring had acted.

In Ye Fan's heart, the figure of God of Destruction, his mysterious teacher, became even more lofty.

At last, God of Destruction snorted. "Hmph!"

"Ice Empress, you know what to do next, don't you?"

Hearing this, Ice Empress repeatedly begged for mercy. "I know, I know!"

Before Ye Fan, who had been watching the show from the side, could react at all, Ice Empress recognized reality and was completely subdued. She no longer hesitated in the slightest.

Suppressing the pain throughout her body and the pride in her heart, her exquisite, crystalline Ice Jade Empress Scorpion body suddenly burst with incomparably brilliant ice-blue radiance as she resolutely activated the secret art of Soul Beast Sacrifice.

Clear icy patterns spread from her body across the sky, while layers upon layers of origin soul power surged rapidly as she resolutely initiated the Soul Beast Sacrifice.

In an instant, a vast and gentle devouring force suddenly enveloped Ye Fan's entire body. Without moving at all, he was forcibly pulled into that familiar, mysterious sacrificial space.

Cloud and mist swirled around him, isolating all sounds from the outside world.

However, he knew this was Ice Empress's sacrifice. Not only did he not resist, he calmly accepted it.

Just as the sacrificial power grew increasingly vast and the ritual steadily advanced, two immense and terrifying beastly auras suddenly tore through the skies of the extreme north, crashing down upon Ye Fan's location.

Two enormous ancient soul beasts appeared, treading on snow and breaking through the air. The biting wind and snow swept wildly across the earth with their arrival, and the heavens and earth were instantly filled with murderous intent.

The arrivals were none other than two great rulers of the extreme north, the Titan Snow Demon Ape and the Ice Bear King. The Titan Snow Demon Ape locked onto the sacrificial phenomenon and instantly saw through the situation.

"Damn it! A soul beast is actually sacrificing itself to a human. This is unforgivable!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Seeing this, the Titan Snow Demon Ape threw back his head and roared repeatedly.

The Ice Bear King, meanwhile, stared blankly as he curiously asked the Titan Snow Demon Ape, "Hey, big guy, what are they doing? Why is there an aura inside that feels familiar to me?"

Hearing this, the Titan Snow Demon Ape carefully distinguished the aura within and instantly realized, "It's actually Ice Empress's aura."

This made the Titan Snow Demon Ape even angrier. He said to the Ice Bear King, "Ice Bear King, put aside our grudge for now. Let's act first and interrupt Ice Empress's sacrificial ritual."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart shook violently as he urgently called out, "Not good! It's the Titan Snow Demon Ape and the Ice Bear King. They're going to stop the sacrificial ritual! Ice Empress, quickly warn them. We absolutely cannot let them interrupt the ritual!"

Trapped within the shackles of the sacrifice, Ice Empress endured the bone-piercing agony of her origin being stripped away. Not daring to delay even a moment, she hurriedly split off a portion of her consciousness to warn the two kings of soul beasts in the extreme north, her tone sharp yet carrying a trace of urgency:

"Titan Snow Demon Ape, Ice Bear King!"

"The sacrifice is my own choice. Whoever dares interfere will become my enemy!"
