There are always many things that are hard to understand, but this was the first time Cao Yu felt mentally exhausted. He stopped paying attention to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Storm Giant Demon Ape not far away was now on the verge of death.
If they don't act soon, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will be wasted, and Cao Yu clearly cannot allow that to happen.
Even with an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion on the other side, the Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Shadow Clone carried out Cao Yu's orders without hesitation.
"Quickly finish this." Cao Yu silently instructed him. The next second, just as the powerful scorpion pincers were about to clamp down on the Storm Snow Demon Ape, the Shadow Clone suddenly made its move.
The fist collided with the giant pincers of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and with a crack, the Storm Snow Demon Ape in front of it dodged the fatal attack.
Upon seeing the human suddenly appear before it, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion erupted in fury once more, its stinger aimed fiercely at the Shadow Clone.
But she was nowhere near as fast as the man in front of her. Before the needle could even land, the man in black had already darted behind her.
Immediately afterward, the Storm Snow Demon Ape stood up, thinking it had escaped a disaster, and was about to run away into the distance.
Not long after, the Storm Snow Demon Ape was kicked to the ground by the Shadow Clone, turning into a large ball of snow that flew more than ten meters away. Then, the Shadow Clone pressed its advantage and appeared in front of it in a flash.
"Clang!"
With a sudden slam of its fist, the Storm Blood Demon Ape's head made intimate contact with the ground. It stretched out its hands in an attempt to resist, but in the end, it could only tightly hug its head.
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion stood there dumbfounded. She had thought that this human was trying to deal with her, but it turned out that he simply wanted to snatch his prey from her grasp.
"Damn humans, there's no such thing as a free lunch!"
"You dare to steal from me? You have some nerve!"
Without saying a word, she teleported in front of the Shadow Clone. The extreme cold energy began to burst forth from her, and then wisps of cold energy condensed in the air, finally turning into crystals and exploding with a bang.
A deafening roar followed.
At this moment Shadow Clone and the Storm Snow Demon Ape were enveloped inside. After a while, when the snow dust settled, the human was still standing there unharmed.
As for the Storm Snow Demon Ape, it had already collapsed to the ground, its massive body riddled with craters and punctured with blood, looking utterly wretched.
Compared to it, the Shadow Clone showed no signs of injury, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion even doubted that its signature move had caused the slightest harm to the person before it.
It wasn't until she saw the nine identical Soul Ring rising from beneath the Shadow Clone's feet that she suddenly understood the reason for everything.
This is a powerful individual!
But why would he come to the Far North?
Normally, wouldn't they go to the Star Dou Great Forest? In Ice Empress's memory, very few strong human beings have visited this place anymore, so encountering this situation is extremely rare.
"Humans, this Far North is not a place for you."
Ice Empress said with a solemn expression.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with vigilance, her sharp stinger and huge scorpion claws were ready for battle, and her terrifying Ferocious Beast aura burst forth, the terrifying pressure pressing down hard on the person opposite her.
However, the Shadow Clone remained unmoved. Instead, Cao Yu, who was hiding not far away, stepped forward, and the Shadow Clone closely protected him.
At this moment, Cao Yu said to her, " Ice Empress, I came here only to hunt ice-attribute Soul Ring, and that Storm Snow Demon Ape is the one I've set my sights on. I'm not going to waste any more words with you; what I want, you can't take away!"
Ice Empress was visibly annoyed; this was the first time she had encountered such an arrogant human, especially one who had dared to provoke her on her home turf.
If it weren't for the powerful human guarding him, Ice Empress would have long ago used her sharp tail spikes to pierce him with countless holes.
However, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within the Sea of Consciousness pleaded impatiently with Cao Yu, "Quickly release my aura! I want to see her, Bing'er, my Bing'er!"
Why should I listen to you? You sycophant.
" Bing'er is about to undergo a great tribulation that lasts for four hundred thousand years. I can help you persuade her to become your Intelligent Soul Spirit."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became even more anxious, seemingly eager to get Cao Yu to agree immediately. However, the initiative was in Cao Yu's hands, and there was not much it could do.
"Let her become my Intelligent Soul Spirit? That's unnecessary. I think it's better to let her be reborn as a human like the Snow Empress."
Since it's something you can see and touch, why choose the worst possible method?
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned when it heard this, but when it remembered that the Snow Empress had also used this method, it didn't say anything more.
But it still pleaded, "Just let me come out and see her for one last time. I haven't seen her in so long."
Cao Yu covered his face helplessly and said, "Fine, I really can't do anything with you, but promise me you won't be so obsequious in the future."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't bother to answer him. After receiving Cao Yu's permission, it released its spiritual power.
Then, a phantom image formed outside, gazing affectionately at the Ice Empress opposite, and said, " Bing'er, do you still remember me? I am Tian Meng. It's been so long since we last met. I didn't expect you to still be so beautiful."
"You bug! We didn't eat you back then, but instead you cooperated with humans!"
Ice Empress was even more furious. If she wasn't mistaken, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm should have become this human's Soul Spirit. This was simply a waste of a rare and precious treasure.
If she had eaten the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm back then, her cultivation level would probably have already broken through.
What a pity!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pretended not to hear what she had just said, and instead said, "I know you are about to undergo a great tribulation that lasts for four hundred thousand years, and it seems that your chances of successfully surviving it are very small. You might as well consider transforming into a human."
Seeing that Ice Empress was about to object, it hurriedly said, "By the way, Snow Empress has also transformed into a human, and she's hanging out with Cao Yu."
Then Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cautiously asked, "Why don't you think about it?"
Ice Empress was filled with doubts about what it said, and could even be said to completely disbelieve it.
Although she hadn't seen the Snow Empress for some time, she didn't believe Snow Empress would take this path until Cao Yu used his mental power to Simulation the Snow Empress's aura, at which point she began to believe it.
"Are you sure you're not lying? How could Snow Empress possibly..." Ice Empress looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with a face full of doubt. When it did not answer, she turned her gaze to Cao Yu.
With a cautious expression, after all, humans are known for their cunning. Even with the vermin, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, as evidence, Ice Empress was still extremely careful.
Cao Yu took out a strand of snow-white hair from his Storage Soul Tool, which was filled with the strong aura of the Snow Empress. He then tossed it over, and the Ice Empress caught it steadily. She recognized it as the Snow Empress's hair at a glance.
"Sigh! Snow Empress still loses so much hair."
