The Ice Empress Refused Godhood; the Pride of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion
The snow slope emitted a low rumble.
Snowflakes are falling.
Its entire body is revealed.
The massive snow slope was not part of her body at all; her complete body was only 1.5 meters long, and her upright scorpion tail had been turned into a mound by the snowflakes.
Its five long tail segments are a vibrant green, each segment shining brightly, and the tail hooks, like diamonds, stand upright, gleaming silver in the daylight.
She sensed the presence of humans.
Moreover, this human being instilled in her an extreme sense of crisis.
Show off your figure.
This was meant to intimidate the person.
They were also prepared for battle.
As Lu Ning flew through the air, he also spotted the small Ice Jade Scorpion. The emerald green light emanating from the Ice Jade Scorpion immediately alerted him, and he began to scrutinize the figure on the ground.
"Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!?"
Lu Ning searched for a long time.
I never expected to run into you here.
Although Lu Ning had never seen Ice Empress before, the emerald green light and the aura of 390,000 years that it exuded made Lu Ning recognize her identity at a glance.
Suddenly, the image of Ice Empress in human form flashed into my mind.
Lu Ning had a deep impression of the petite loli's appearance, but the scorpion-like Ice Empress in front of him really didn't arouse his interest. If the Ice Empress in front of him were reincarnated as a human, Lu Ning Lu Ning could get a little electric shock.
"Have you seen me before?"
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion on the ground was slightly taken aback.
Her voice is sweet and delicate when she speaks.
She had never seen this human before.
She's sure of it!
Because all the humans who saw her are dead.
The fact that the humans in front of us are still alive means that we've never seen them before.
I've heard about it.
Lu Ning replied with a smile.
"Impossible."
Everyone who has seen me is dead.
Where did you hear that?
Ice Empress pursued relentlessly.
It is Soul Beast with nearly 390,000 years of cultivation.
Her intelligence is no less than that of a human, and she immediately saw through Lu Ning's extremely obvious flaw. Lu Ning shrugged, finding it difficult to explain such a thing to her.
It's highly unlikely that the Ice Empress would be included in the storytelling of this era.
"I've heard of it, that's all."
Ice Empress lowered his eyes.
I had no interest in listening to this kind of pretentious charade.
The scorpion pincers were raised high.
Emerald green light condensed on the scorpion's pincers, forming a pair of even more powerful and solid green pincers, which clamped down fiercely towards Lu Ning, with terrifying force almost shattering the void.
She has absolutely no liking for humanity.
Humans coming to this Far North obviously couldn't be simply hunting for food. In the past, humans came either to hunt for Soul Ring or to extract Soul Bone from their bodies.
It made her want to scream.
This human is still trying to be mysterious.
This made her even angrier.
Act decisively.
Lu Ning looked at the green pincers that suddenly attacked, without the slightest thought of being overconfident. The creature in front of him was a 390,000-year-old Soul Beast. Even Dugu Bo would not be a match for Ice Empress here.
Lu Ning decisively released his Martial Soul.
He gripped the Azure Lotus Sword in his hand.
The seven Soul Ring on his body appeared for the first time in this Far North.
Purple, purple, black, black, red!
Upon seeing these seven Soul Ring.
Even Ice Empress was slightly taken aback.
Although she had no systematic knowledge of humans, she knew about human Soul Master. Ordinary seven-ring Soul Master could not possibly absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and even the strongest humans Titled Douluo, possessed at most a red Soul Ring.
But the humans before me...
How could such a terrifying configuration exist?
The two red Soul Ring indicate that he has the lives of at least two 100,000-year-old beast kings on his hands.
"Really."
"Human beings are evil to the extreme."
"You found me just to hunt down my Soul Ring, didn't you!?"
Ice Empress watched as Lu Ning swiftly dodged her attack.
The voice, which had been delicate and charming, instantly turned icy cold.
"Not entirely."
"If you're willing to offer yourself as a sacrifice to me."
"I agree."
Dark Angel wings appeared behind Lu Ning, and his speed increased again. Facing the Ice Empress, Lu Ning dared not be careless in the slightest. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could easily trap the Ice Empress.
Only in the presence of this emperor could one truly feel the oppressive aura she exuded.
It was far more terrifying than any Soul Beast Lu Ning had ever seen.
Even if it means facing Er Ming.
Even Lu Ning didn't experience this much pressure.
Nowadays, the slightest carelessness could lead to certain death.
"Roll!"
Ice Empress roared in anger.
The giant pincers struck again.
Lu Ning raised the Azure Lotus Sword, and his fifth Soul Skill flashed, sending countless Azure Lotus Sword slashing towards the phantom. The sound of the collision was so loud that even Xiao Wu and Shui Bing'er in the distance felt the snow tremble.
The surrounding ice and snow were completely blasted away by the man and the beast, revealing large areas of snow and ice.
"Are you really unwilling?"
Lu Ning spoke with a hint of regret.
Ice Empress did not answer.
It simply raised its scorpion tail high and slammed it towards Lu Ning once more.
The humans before us are far too fantastical.
The Ice Empress might not be that angry that he wanted to be hunted down and turned into Soul Ring, but to even dare to utter the word "sacrifice" showed that he completely disregarded him.
The process of offering sacrifices is different from the process of absorbing Soul Ring.
By absorbing the Soul Ring, her resentment and remnant soul after death can still impact Lu Ning Lu Ning's Mental Power, causing him at least some further harm and letting this human know what the resistance of Soul Beast is.
Sacrifices are entirely different.
Lu Ning can not only perfectly absorb her Soul Ring and retain her Soul Skill, but he can also specifically select his own most powerful Soul Skill to retain, as long as Lu Ning's body can withstand it.
It is virtually impossible for it to leave any lasting effects.
They wanted her to be sacrificed.
That's wishful thinking.
You see the difference in me.
"Follow me, and you can at least become a god and achieve eternal life. Isn't that tempting enough?"
Lu Ning raised the Azure Lotus Sword high.
The clothes she was wearing began to change.
The black robe that had left countless handprints reappeared at this moment, and the ghostly howls mingled with the sound of wind and snow, turning the surrounding snow and wind blood-red.
Lu Ning's aura began to rise.
It began to collide with Ice Empress's tail hook.
"Sixth Soul Skill Two: Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!"
The explosion was deafening.
Ice Empress retreated several steps, a protective shield formed by emerald green light blocking her way. The Ghost King was impacting the shield, each impact thinning it further.
"Dream!"
"I can achieve immortality myself!"
Lu Ning listened to these words.
His brow furrowed slightly.
The allure of becoming a god isn't strong enough?
Didn't Tian Meng also use this kind of rhetoric to win over Ice Empress?
Surely my talent and achievements couldn't possibly be inferior to Huo Yuhao's back then?
"..."
Looking at Ice Empress in front of me.
Lu Ning suddenly understood.
It's not that I'm inferior to Huo Yuhao, but rather... it's a matter of time.
The Ice Empress is currently nearly 10,000 years away from the 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, so she naturally cannot feel the pressure from the Heavenly Tribulation or the sense of powerlessness in the face of it.
Ten thousand years is too long.
The Ice Empress has no rush to grow up, and it's even less likely that they would give up their lifespan of ten thousand years to gamble on an uncertain future with a human who can only live for a maximum of two hundred years, just for a promise.
