"Boss, Ice Empress is coming soon..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm secretly transmitted his voice.

It was somewhat nervous, feeling the pressure emanating from Ice Empress. Even though it liked Ice Empress, the pressure from its bloodline rival still made it extremely nervous.

It wasn't until Sky Dream Ice Silkworm saw the smile on Huo Yuhao's lips that its previously anxious heart finally calmed down.

The next moment, less than fifteen minutes later, the Ice Empress, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, finally appeared.

The dark sky returned to its original emerald green due to the appearance of the Ice Empress. A beam of emerald light spread across the sky, creating a pattern of light. In a flash of light, a Soul Beast appeared opposite the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

The Ice Empress's appearance was completely different from what was expected. She was only about 1.5 meters tall, not even as big as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Although Huo Yuhao knew roughly the size of Ice Empress, he still couldn't help but be surprised when he actually saw it.

However, Ice Empress's appearance is probably extremely beautiful among Soul Beast. Huo Yuhao was very attracted to her emerald green shell and her scorpion claws that looked like crystal ice crystals. They seemed to be of great collectible value.

Each one, hexagonal in shape and shimmering with a dazzling luster, is like a diamond-like protrusion. Under the light of the snow, it radiates unparalleled brilliance, and its mirror-like crystal shell refracts countless colors.

What's most eye-catching is her high-raised tail. Compared to ordinary scorpions, Ice Empress's tail is a little different. Her tail has only five segments, each with an alluring emerald green color. The part closest to her body is the widest segment, and it gets narrower and narrower towards the back.

In the final section, there was a layer of ice crystal armor that shimmered like diamonds, and the tail hook was raised high, with silvery-white light shining brightly on the tip of the tail.

A Soul Beast as dazzling as a jewel, truly deserving of the word 'beautiful'. If she were brought to the human world for exhibition, she would be an absolute work of art, priceless and hard to come by!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm watched Ice Empress appear, a lovesick look unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

Ice Empress stared in astonishment at its body, which was entirely golden and formed from condensed Spiritual Power, its crystal-yellow hexagonal eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

" Tian Meng..."

Just as Ice Empress opened his mouth, an unexpected change occurred from the surrounding snow.

Countless tiny cracks inexplicably appeared on the once peaceful snowfield. These cracks were neatly crisscrossed and densely packed. From the sky, one could see that this was a large net-like shape formed with Ice Empress as the center.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless whooshing sounds rang out, and thousands of black threads instantly straightened, the snow they brought up intertwined, instantly forming a dense white mist five meters high on the spot, even the dazzling emerald green on Ice Empress's body was instantly covered.

The strands of silk connected in mid-air in just half a second, then immediately thickened, forming a hard black cage.

Before Ice Empress could react, or rather, Huo Yuhao's movements were too fast; even Ice Empress, who was nearly 400,000 years old, did not detect it in her mental perception.

After a while, the thick white mist formed from ice and snow slowly fell to the ground. The pitch-black columnar structure was a sealed cage in both the upper and lower parts. Ice Empress's crystal-yellow eyes were filled with intense anger.

Ice Empress scanned the area outside and spotted Huo Yuhao standing in front of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. She coldly said, " Tian Meng! I thought you were talking about some kind of power, but it turns out you're just a human. You're supposed to be a Million-Year Soul Beast, yet you still have to rely on a human?!"

After saying this, Ice Empress even had a hint of disdain in her eyes. Sensing Huo Yuhao's cultivation level of one ring, she clearly did not take Huo Yuhao seriously.

" Bingbing, you're wrong. This is my boss. It's only natural for me to rely on him. Even if the snow came, this cage would still trap us, let alone you. Besides, your time is almost up. Only your boss can help you continue living." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm advised kindly.

"Hmph! Tian Meng, it seems you've wasted your life for the past ten thousand years, only daring to appear before me in your spiritual form?... Never mind, your true form must be nearby anyway. Do you think this mere human with only one ring of cultivation can trap me?" Ice Empress said, her eyes filled with disdain, as her two large, icy blue claws opened and touched the cage directly.

Huo Yuhao watched silently without speaking, but raised his hand, and dark purple Soul Power instantly ignited on the cage. At the same time, a black barrier rose instantly within a five-meter radius, directly isolating all auras.

The ice-blue pincers opened wide, their sharp teeth instantly slicing through the black cage, sparks flying unexpectedly during the collision.

Ice Empress stared in astonishment at the cage before her. She had gently squeezed it, yet she hadn't managed to crush it, nor had she even left a scratch on it.

"Strange?" Ice Empress wondered to himself.

Then the pincers tightened again, but the cage remained unmoved. Ice Empress looked incredulous; she couldn't even break the control of One-Ring Soul Master. Ice Empress's unique pride as one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North caused her to subconsciously circulate her Soul Power, and icy blue energy instantly condensed on the pincers.

The originally icy blue pincers became even more crystal clear at this moment, and the diamond-like protrusions immediately covered the pincers, with tiny mirror-like surfaces reflecting countless iridescent lights.

Ice Empress's Pincer!

One of Ice Empress's signature techniques, its terrifying destructive power ranks among the top ten Ferocious Beast. Even the Snow Empress would have to give it a wide berth.

Now this skill is being used on this tiny cage. Ice Empress sneered, feeling that he was really wasting his talents.

The Ultimate Ice aura erupted from within the barrier, causing the air temperature to plummet. Countless icicles followed the Ice Empress's pincers, covering the entire cage. In just one second, it transformed into a cage made of ice blocks.

" Tian Meng, once I get out of here, neither you nor this human will escape. Once I've eaten you, I'll never have to worry about my lifespan again."

The Ice Empress Scorpion instantly exerted its force, its pincers constantly colliding and rubbing against the frozen cage, producing a series of ear-piercing creaking sounds!

With a snap, as the ice shattered, Ice Empress felt a surge of joy, and the scene of the cage breaking and him devouring the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm instantly flashed through his mind.

As Ice Empress looked up, she could hardly believe her eyes; the cage in front of her... hadn't broken...?

How is this possible? Even if I didn't use my full strength, how could this cage be so sturdy!

Ice Empress stared in disbelief at Huo Yuhao outside, as the oppressive aura of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast instantly pressed down on Huo Yuhao.

The snow beneath Huo Yuhao's feet sank five centimeters in an instant, but he remained standing there as if nothing had happened, even with a relaxed smile on his face.

"This... this is impossible... who are you, Tian Meng!" Ice Empress roared, a hint of panic in his voice.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body slowly shrank, and it nestled on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, its eyes filled with love. " Bingbing, your boss is your chance to become a god, so just listen to me obediently."
