"Tian Meng's use of spiritual power is far too poor."
Even though the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked imposing at that moment, Huo Yuhao saw through his outward strength and inner weakness at a glance.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power was as vast as an ocean. Not a single Soul Beast or Soul Master on the entire Douluo Continent could rival him.
But the quality of his spiritual power was far too poor, and he had no methods for using it. He could only rely on his immense spiritual power to clash head-on with his opponents-pure brute force, enough to send bricks flying.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no idea what Huo Yuhao was thinking at that moment.
He used his spiritual power to simulate the Snow Empress's aura, intimidating all the Soul Beasts in the area to prevent any blind fools from coming to probe him and Huo Yuhao.
"Tian Meng?!"
"You actually dared to come back!"
As that voice rang out, violent, savage ripples abruptly spread across the pitch-black sky.
Emerald streams of light spread here from the edge of the horizon, turning the heavens into a translucent curtain of pearls in an instant. The myriad stars seemed to tremble behind that eerie emerald green.
"Brother Hao! Get ready! The Ice Empress is here!"
Yet the instant the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished speaking, a white pillar of light spanning heaven and earth suddenly blazed from the place where the emerald radiance had risen.
The pillar surged with the force of thunder, like a snow-white sun slowly rising.
In an instant, that supremely pure white light swallowed every other color.
Enormous waves of air exploded around the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm like tumbling snow dragons.
An exquisitely clear voice rang out from every direction at once. "Tian Meng, it really is you! You're actually still alive!"
"Snow Empress, come quickly!"
"As long as we devour his essence, our Soul Beast Calamities will no longer pose a problem!"
At those words, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's and Huo Yuhao's scalps instantly prickled.
The Snow Empress?
The Snow Empress who headed the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North?
"This is bad!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sucked in a cold breath and said in a panic, "The Snow Empress is actually with the Ice Empress!"
Intense killing intent descended from the sky. Beyond a ten-meter radius around the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, towering waves of ice and snow several meters high suddenly rose!
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm screamed himself nearly hoarse at Huo Yuhao. "Brother Hao, run!"
The Remnant Husk he had originally planned to use to bind the Ice Empress wrapped tightly around Huo Yuhao's body and carried him frantically into the distance.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual body also burrowed into Huo Yuhao's brow at that moment.
Two streaks of light, one white and one emerald, tore through the night, leaving two cloud trails stretching here from the end of the horizon.
In the blink of an eye, a human figure and a scorpion appeared where the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had stood.
Above their heads, those two luminous cloud trails churned ceaselessly like great waterfalls.
"I wasn't mistaken. This really is the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's aura!" the Ice Empress said excitedly.
Beside the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, whose appearance was flawless, closed her eyes and sensed the aura the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had left behind.
A moment later, she opened her sky-blue eyes and said in shock, "This essence energy... he really is a million-year Soul Beast. He's nothing more than an Ice Silkworm. How could he have encountered such fortune...?"
The Ice Empress urged, "Snow Empress, he hasn't gone far yet. Let's hurry after him!"
"As long as we devour his million-year essence, our combined strength will definitely be enough to suppress Beast God Di Tian and make the Far North a true Soul Beast Sacred Land!"
The Snow Empress nodded in agreement, then she and the Ice Empress transformed into two auroras that ripped across the heavens, pursuing Huo Yuhao directly in the direction of his escape.
The vault of heaven seethed as the Snow Empress and Ice Empress gave chase at their greatest speed. Their wildly surging auras swept up the blizzard, tearing two ceaselessly roaring dragons across the ice plains. Wherever they passed, ice peaks collapsed from the shock.
The Snow Empress lowered her eyelids slightly as doubts arose deep within her.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been hiding from the Ice Empress for so long. What purpose had brought him back to the Far North today at the risk of his life?
Could it have something to do with that enormous hand covered in azure dragon scales, which had suddenly torn across the sky over the Far North more than two months ago?
At that moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Remnant Husk around Huo Yuhao was burning away at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, carrying him in a swift escape across the Far North Ice Plains.
"Tian Meng! Can your Remnant Husk last long enough for us to escape the Far North?!"
Huo Yuhao glanced at the two streaks of light sweeping across the sky behind him, and his pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.
"We have to run whether it can or not! Who knows why the Snow Empress is with the Ice Empress!"
"My Remnant Husk can only bind one Heavenly King of the Far North at a time. Against two, we can only run!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm roared, "Brother Hao! Master Huo! If there's no other way, get the god whose inheritance you received to save us!"
The entire ice plain suddenly began to shake violently. Tens of thousands of ice crystals floated up, forming a vast formation that blotted out the sky and sun and enveloped Huo Yuhao.
The Ice Empress's teasing voice came from the sky. "Tian Meng, do you think I would give you a second chance to escape from my grasp?"
"Eternal Frozen Domain!"
The Snow Empress's icy voice also rang out at that moment. "Xue Wu Shining Sun."
A roar like the collapse of all creation suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.
Huo Yuhao realized with a start that the ice beneath his feet was losing its snowy white color, taking on an eerie, deep-blue sheen.
The Ice and Snow Empresses jointly unleashed their domains, producing terrifyingly low temperatures that could truly touch absolute zero!
The golden patterns on the surface of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Remnant Husk flared with fire, releasing warm light that resisted the all-pervading, extreme cold.
"Damn it! The Snow Empress actually joined forces with the Ice Empress!"
"Master Huo! If the god whose inheritance you received doesn't act now, we're both going to meet the god of death!"
Ten thousand beams of light descended from the heavens, each carrying utterly terrifying cold.
The Snow Empress lightly tapped the void with her fingertip, and in an instant, they twisted into an enormous vortex of ice and snow a full kilometer in diameter, bearing straight down from above.
Huo Yuhao took out the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd and watched helplessly as even the winds howling all around were frozen into ice sculptures by the Ice and Snow Empresses' domains.
"At worst, we'll fight them with everything we have!"
Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth, gripping the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd tightly in both hands.
He looked up at the vortex of ice and snow that crushed everything and roared, "Tian Meng! Didn't you say you could unleash your million years of accumulated power once?! I'll teach you a move right now that can clash head-on with the Heavenly Kings of the Far North!"
"Hand over complete control of your spiritual power to me!"
Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpened, and he stamped hard on the ice plain.
As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm handed complete control of his spiritual power essence to Huo Yuhao, an indescribable presence abruptly surged from Huo Yuhao's body!
Like a mighty mountain descending from the heavens, the powerful presence emanating from Huo Yuhao actually made even the Ice and Snow Empresses find it difficult to breathe for a moment.
Huo Yuhao's expression became exceptionally grave.
Following the hand seals in his memory, his fingers shifted as swiftly as lightning with the aid of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power.
Wave after wave of immensely powerful spiritual fluctuations roared out of his body.
"Great Heavenly Thunder Sound!"
Violent winds suddenly rose between heaven and earth, rolling thunder surged, and lightning flashed amid thunderous roars!
