Upon hearing Ice Empress's words, Qian Chen hurriedly shook his head and said, "My Seven Kill Sword already has enough Soul Ring, and my Divine Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has holy, light, and fire attributes, which conflict with your Ultimate Ice attribute."
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress panicked. He couldn't even give away his 399,900-year-old Ferocious Beast Soul Ring, which he wanted to give away.
At this moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke again, saying, " Bingbing, just believe me! Quickly offer yourself as a sacrifice for Huo Yuhao, and I will definitely help you become a god and grant you eternal life!"
" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, you piece of trash. Where were you during the battle? If you had even come out and shouted a few words of encouragement, I would have respected you. But you, with Huo Yuhao by your side, just cowered in the snow pit. I really can't stand you."
Then, Ice Empress continued speaking to Qian Chen, " Qian Chen, I've made up my mind. When I sacrifice myself to you, I will compress all my energy, allowing you to control the Ultimate Ice without conflicting with your physical attributes. Qian Chen, what do you think?"
Ice Empress said with a sob in her voice that this was the first time in hundreds of thousands of years that she had been rejected and unwanted by someone.
Qian Chen said, "I'll say it again, I don't want it, your attributes conflict with mine!"
"It seems today is my death day. Qian Chen, you killed me with your own hands. My Soul Ring can only be absorbed by you. Either you throw it away, or you absorb it," Ice Empress said stubbornly.
" Ice Empress, why are you so stubborn!" Qian Chen said, somewhat exasperated. "My disciple Huo Yuhao still needs you as his Second Martial Soul. Don't worry, he won't treat you unfairly." Qian Chen kindly advised again.
The Ice Empress was stubborn, saying, "Either I sacrifice myself to you, and you help me become a god, in which case I will control my Ultimate Ice attribute and keep it only in my Soul Ring; or I will die. My Soul Bone can only be absorbed by those with the Ultimate Ice attribute, and none of you can absorb it. In the end, you will get nothing."
" Ice Empress, you!" Qian Chen said angrily.
" Bingbing, don't do this! If you don't offer yourself up, Huo Yuhao will have no way to get your Soul Ring and Soul Bone!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was truly on the verge of tears this time.
"I accepted your sacrifice, but what about my disciple? He really needs the Martial Soul of the Ice Jade Scorpion," Qian Chen said earnestly, still hoping that the Ice Empress would reconsider.
"I said, either I become a god with you, or I return to the world. If you agree to help me become a god, I can introduce your precious disciple to a member of my Ice Jade Scorpion Clan who has cultivated for over 100,000 years but is unable to survive the next Heavenly Tribulation, to become his Second Martial Soul. But you must guarantee that my clansman's soul is intact and his consciousness is clear."
After saying that, Ice Empress spat out another mouthful of dark purple blood. "This is my final concession. Otherwise, none of you will get my Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
After Ice Empress finished speaking, her life force began to drain away rapidly, and dark purple blood began to flow from her wounds and facial features, causing her to tremble on the ground in pain.
Seeing that persuading the Ice Empress was hopeless, and unable to bear seeing the Ice Empress die in front of it, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm returned to Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.
"Teacher, I heard what you all said. Perhaps this Ice Empress is not meant for me. Teacher, Brother Sky Dream already told me that a 400,000-year-old Soul Ring is too precious, so please don't waste it." Huo Yuhao said sincerely to Qian Chen.
Qian Chen looked at Huo Yuhao, then glanced at Ice Empress, and immediately activated his Eye of the Mind. After observing, he saw that Ice Empress and Huo Yuhao were speaking from the heart. Ice Empress did indeed want him to help her become a god, and Huo Yuhao also felt that he could not absorb Ice Empress's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and wanted to give up.
Qian Chen asked, " Ice Empress, I still don't want your Soul Ring. I'll heal you and let you go back. Can you bring your clansman who failed his tribulation to sacrifice for Huo Yuhao? Huo Yuhao will help him become a god in the future."
Ice Empress thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." Qian Chen also saw through his Eye of the Mind that Ice Empress was not lying.
"Okay, I believe you," Qian Chen said immediately, relieved.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm panicked. Huo Yuhao hurriedly said, "Teacher, no! This Ice Empress is too dangerous!"
Qian Chen said, "Don't be afraid, Master has made arrangements." With that, Qian Chen summoned his Divine Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul again, shouting, " First Soul Skill, Divine Light of Life. Second Soul Skill, Absolute Purification!"
Two Soul Skill descended instantly. The dying Ice Empress suddenly felt the tormenting pain and continuous damage effects on her body disappear. She opened her eyes and looked closely; her severed tail and pincers had all reattached to her body.
Moreover, the hidden injuries she sustained during her 300,000-year tribulation were completely healed by Qian Chen's healing Soul Skill. Now, apart from being somewhat weak, her health has returned to its peak.
Ice Empress couldn't help but exclaim, "A divine skill! A divine skill!" A thought suddenly sprouted in Ice Empress's mind: such a healing Soul Skill couldn't be obtained even if Bi Ji were killed. This Soul Skill must have come from the Divine Realm.
Ice Empress spoke, "Thank you, Qian Chen. You not only healed me, but also healed my hidden injuries from tens of thousands of years ago." As soon as Ice Empress finished speaking, the aura within her body suddenly surged.
Qian Chen instantly regretted it. Was this Soul Beast really going back on its word? Were its thoughts and actions completely out of sync?
In an instant, Qian Chen pulled Huo Yuhao to hide several hundred meters away. Fortunately, Ice Empress's aura only surged for a moment; she did not launch an attack. Ice Empress smiled slightly, came to Qian Chen's side, and said, "What's wrong, Qian Chen? Are you afraid I'll regret it and kill you? I, Ice Empress, am not that kind of Soul Beast. I just suddenly broke through to 400,000 years old, so my aura surged."
Ice Empress glanced at the sky, which was already beginning to change color, and said, "I don't have much time. You all wait here; I need to bring my clansmen here to make them the Second Martial Soul for your disciple, Huo Yuhao."
A short while later, Ice Empress returned. Accompanying her was an Ice Empress Ice Jade Scorpion. However, this Ice Jade Scorpion was barely breathing, as if it had suffered severe injuries.
Ice Empress introduced Dali to Qian Chen and Huo Yuhao: "This is my clansman, Dali. I, Ice Empress Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, am the emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. These few Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion are the kings of our clan. Unfortunately, Dali was severely injured by the Heavenly Tribulation during his two hundred thousand-year tribulation. He has no hope of recovery and can only eke out a living. He probably won't live for more than a few years."
Then Ice Empress turned to Dali and said, " Dali, listen to the arrangements of the soul within this boy's body and become his Martial Soul. Don't worry, if your soul isn't preserved, I will definitely avenge you and utterly destroy the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."
Dali nodded Dali and said, "I believe the clan leader."
Then, Dali climbed up to Huo Yuhao and began to communicate with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao 'Sea of Consciousness.
At this moment, Ice Empress also came to Qian Chen's side and said, " Qian Chen, thank you for healing me. After you treated me, the hidden injuries I suffered when I underwent the Heavenly Tribulation three hundred thousand years ago have also been healed."
"You're welcome," Qian Chen said casually.
" Qian Chen, I hope you can do me a favor. When you meet Snow Empress in the future, could you please help her heal her hidden injuries?"
Qian Chen smiled and said, "Sure, you can have a 200,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion sacrificed for Huo Yuhao, and I'll owe you a favor. As long as the Snow Empress doesn't oppose me, it's just releasing two Soul Skill, nothing serious."
