The thick Soul Power and pure Spiritual Power within Snow Empress's body transformed into a surging river, like a breached dam, frantically merging into Qin Fang's body.
In the blink of an eye, they reached Qin Fang's limit.
This was also Snow Empress's test for Qin Fang, to see if he could withstand it, to explore his true talent, and to see if he was qualified to become a god.
Qin Fang closed his eyes, circulated the power of his Soul Core, and began to frantically refine this power of Ultimate Ice, making it a part of himself.
Qin Fang's meridians were incredibly resilient within ten breaths, perfectly withstanding the impact. However, after ten breaths, they began to break down.
However, the aura of Ultimate Light and Ultimate Life flowed by like water, and Qin Fang's injuries quietly healed.
Amidst the cycle of destruction and rebirth, though there is endless pain, Qin Fang's meridians become increasingly resilient, allowing him to endure for longer and longer periods.
In the Spiritual Sea.
The integration of Snow Empress's pure Spiritual Power caused Qin Fang's Spiritual Sea to expand extremely, and pain, endless pain, swept over him.
Under such pressure, Qin Fang didn't utter a sound.
As Snow Empress's test of him gradually came to an end, she withdrew her impactful Soul Power and Spiritual Power, and began to condense her Soul Spirit body to merge with Qin Fang's Origin.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the power of the Snow Empress and the power of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm merged and solidified completely into Qin Fang's Third Martial Soul, the unique Heavenly Snow Woman.
After a long while, a pool of water gathered at Qin Fang's feet. He looked thinner and his eyes were filled with exhaustion and surprise.
It was a success.
The Snow Empress not only became his Third Soul Ring, but also his Third Martial Soul, and the First Soul Ring that added the Ultimate Ice to him.
Qin Fang unleashed his Third Martial Soul, manifesting the domineering and aloof beauty of the Heavenly Snow Woman in her mature state. The aura of Ultimate Ice permeated the area, seemingly capable of freezing one's soul. Her eyes were incredibly deep, filled with sorrow for the world.
Beneath Qin Fang's feet, the First Soul Ring, crimson with a touch of brilliant gold, condensed, unleashing a terrifying pressure. Centered on Qin Fang, Undead Skeleton within a thousand miles knelt on the ground.
The Heavenly Snow Woman seemed to possess a physical form. She sensed the god-like aura of Electrolux, and the peerless phantoms of the Green Lotus Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor standing to her side. In the end, she lowered her noble head, bowed to Qin Fang, and said, "Master."
None of these three were people she could afford to offend; any one of them could easily take her life.
Qin Fang smiled and said, "Snow Empress, there's no need for that. You can just call me Qin Fang. We're friends, not superiors and subordinates."
After hearing this, Snow Empress felt slightly relieved.
Electrolux laughed heartily and said, "Perfect fusion, haha. Qin Fang, your Third Martial Soul, although it only has one ring, possesses Eight Soul Skills."
Qin Fang sensed it briefly and confirmed it was true. All four of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Skill, plus the Snow Empress's four Soul Skills, had been perfectly preserved by Electrolux.
Suddenly, Qin Fang remembered something and said, "Oh right, I still have a Soul Bone here that contains Ice Explosion. How about we fuse with it?"
At this moment, the Green Lotus Emperor's will stopped Qin Fang, making him give up the idea. The reason was simple: he looked down on it, considering it utterly worthless.
Qin Fang frowned. What should he do? This Soul Bone contained a skill comparable to a divine technique. If he didn't make use of it, wouldn't it be a complete waste?
Just then, the Snow Empress spoke, her voice clear and cold yet tinged with joy, saying, "Give it to me, I can also fuse with it."
Qin Fang was surprised. "Ah, really?"
Snow Empress explained, "Yes, and this Soul Bone can become my foundation, making my future even brighter."
Qin Fang thought for a moment and then handed it to Snow Empress.
Snow Empress enveloped the Soul Bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion and began to slowly refine it. A ripple of emotion stirred within her. Were even the Ice Empress's own people being slaughtered? How was the Ice Empress's condition?
Before long, the Snow Empress perfectly refined the Soul Bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion, perfectly inheriting the Ice Explosion skill within the Soul Bone.
Snow Empress, seeing the opportunity, was delighted and decided to give it a try.
Snow Empress condensed a small piece of ice crystal and casually tossed it away. Bang! The terrifying power left Qin Fang speechless. Such a small ice crystal unleashed power that was no weaker than a full-force attack from a level five Soul King.
If this were of even greater mass, wouldn't its power be comparable to that of Titled Douluo? A divine skill, truly a divine skill!
Perhaps because Snow Empress had regained her freedom, she did not return to Qin Fang's body and instead enjoyed the outside air.
Electrolux, the Green Lotus Emperor, and the Skeleton Emperor all returned to Qin Fang's body, while Qin Fang opened the portal to the Undead Plane and stepped out from it.
As soon as he returned, Qin Fang saw Meng Hongchen anxiously searching for him, her eyes slightly red, as if she had just been crying.
Who could understand Meng Hongchen's feelings? She had just finished her cultivation, her Soul Power had increased by one level, and she was overjoyed, wanting to share the news with Qin Fang. But when she turned around, Qin Fang was gone.
Meng Hongchen searched the entire area but could not find any trace of Qin Fang.
Qin Fang patted her shoulder with a mischievous grin and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? What are you looking for?"
Startled, Meng Hongchen jumped up, turned around, and threw herself into Qin Fang's arms, asking reproachfully, "Where have you been?"
Qin Fang patiently wove a web of lies...
The Snow Empress looked at the scene with astonishment and asked in confusion, "Hmm? There are so many associated minerals of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow: Ice Extreme Divine Crystal? Could it be that there is a Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cavern here?"
Snow Empress began to investigate continuously, and finally, she discovered a clue.
Snow Empress urgently woke Qin Fang, who was being affectionate with Meng Hongchen, and said anxiously, "Qin Fang, come on, there are more good things down there, things that can help me accelerate my ascension to godhood."
As she spoke, Snow Empress forcefully pulled Qin Fang's hand, broke through the barrier of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, and continued to descend deeper without stopping for a moment.
Qin Fang only had time to say one sentence, "Meng, wait for me here. You can't handle the temperature down here, don't be foolish."
Meng Hongchen frowned again: Hmm? Who is this woman? She only saw a back view, but she felt a strong threat, as if she was about to steal her husband away.
Unconvinced, Meng Hongchen descended the passage. Below the cave, there was an icy spring even more extreme than the Ultimate Ice. She merely dipped her finger in, and a chill ran through her body. The extreme cold made her body stiffen and begin to feel numb.
Helpless, Meng Hongchen had no choice but to retreat back into the cave of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.
The Snow Empress conjured a deep blue protective shield around Qin Fang, carrying him deeper and deeper, pushing him to his limits.
With a snap, as if passing through some barrier, Qin Fang and Snow Empress landed in the dark cave. Qin Fang couldn't help but breathe in the terrifying cold air. Even with Snow Empress's protection, he felt a fear as if his soul was about to be frozen.
Qin Fang channeled his luminous Soul Power into his palm, which, like a small sun, illuminated the entire cave.
Qin Fang and Snow Empress were able to see everything clearly before them. Inside the cave, there were strange ice pillars, only a dozen or so in total, crisscrossing and varying in size. Each ice pillar was pure white.
I haven't been updating regularly these days; I'll update whenever I have time. Sigh.
Thank you for reading, everyone.
