Chapter 12: Chapter -12 Joining Forces with the Ice Emperor.
Chapter -12.
The Ice Emperor looked at Chen Feng with a hint of pride and said, "I really hope you can become a god one day."
With a confident smile, Chen Feng replied, "You won't regret your choice today!"
The Ice Emperor nodded, then turned to the Dream Ice Silkworm, saying, "Dream, you lazy creature, let me out already!"
"Okay, okay, I promise! But you need to release your spiritual essence first. I can't just let you out without some precautions for Chen Feng's safety," the Dream Ice Silkworm replied.
The Ice Emperor hesitated for a moment. Once it released its spiritual essence, there would be no turning back, especially if the Dream Ice Silkworm had any tricks up its sleeve.
Noticing the Ice Emperor's uncertainty, the Dream Ice Silkworm spoke up, "By the Ice God above, I swear in the name of ice that if I deceive the Ice Emperor and don't help it become a wise spirit ring after it releases its spiritual essence, may everything belonging to ice be taken from me."
"Alright, that's good enough for me," the Ice Emperor decided.
With that, the Ice Emperor's crystal yellow eyes shifted to a deep green, and its long green tail lifted once more, now that the Dream Ice Silkworm had eased its restraints.
A gentle green glow began to ripple from the base of its tail, gathering at the tip. In a flash, a small green orb separated and floated upward, while the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's eyes dimmed, losing their luster.
This was its spiritual essence.
Though it seemed like a simple process, releasing spiritual essence was no small feat. Only soul beasts that had surpassed their limits and reached over 100,000 years of cultivation could do it. For powerful beings like the Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, it was a piece of cake.
With its spiritual essence gone, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's body slumped weakly to the ground. Without that essence to control it, its body radiated a fierce energy, and a layer of green light appeared in the sky, showcasing just how powerful the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion truly was.
Then, the two spiritual essences from the Ice Emperor and the Dream Ice Silkworm dove into Chen Feng's sea of consciousness.
In that sea of consciousness, the Ice Emperor said seriously, "Chen Feng, I'm about to give you a second martial soul, along with a soul bone and a soul ring."
"You get to choose the shape of the soul bone. You probably won't find another like me to provide you with one in the future, so I'll give you the most important trunk bones: the vertebrae, sternum, and ribs. That's like having two extra external soul bones!"
"Even though your body is stronger than most soul masters at your level, my soul ring is still quite powerful. So, I suggest you go for the bone first, then the ring, to get the most out of this. Just a heads up, though—it's going to hurt a lot, and you can't pass out halfway through; otherwise, we'll all be in big trouble!"
Chen Feng smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, Ice Emperor, I'm ready for it."
He was confident in his pain tolerance, having faced years of challenges and injuries. Plus, his physical strength was much greater than Huo Yuhao's, so he figured the pain wouldn't be as intense.
And so, the fusion began. Two beams of green light shot out and landed perfectly on the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion. Its body, about one and a half meters long, trembled violently.
Especially its long tail, which oscillated with the green glow. Each hexagonal protrusion on its body sparkled like diamonds.
Chen Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, as a surge of green light lifted him off the ground, while the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion swam beneath him.
The intense green light pulsed wildly toward the tail hook, and when the green deepened, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's tail hook suddenly swung up and pierced into Chen Feng's tailbone.
Chen Feng didn't flinch, treating it like a mosquito bite, and focused on using the Yin-Yang technique to keep everything in balance.
"I can't believe how strong Chen Feng's spirit is. This is the pain of changing bones, yet he's so calm, as if he doesn't feel a thing. Truly impressive," the Ice Emperor thought, watching Chen Feng sit there so composed.
Then it sighed, saying, "For someone like him, I'm willing to put everything on the line; maybe becoming a god isn't just a dream."
In the sea of consciousness, the Dream Ice Silkworm chimed in, "Ice, your choice is truly wise..."
"Get lost! Stay away from me!"
...
The Ice Emperor looked at Chen Feng, who was merging with the soul bone, and felt a sense of appreciation. Talent, intelligence, character, perseverance… Chen Feng had it all, and the Ice Emperor admired him greatly.
As time passed, Chen Feng's fusion with the soul bone went smoothly, followed by the absorption of the soul ring. A thick white halo began to bloom from beneath him, rising up and enveloping his body. The crystalline particles from the Ice Emperor Scorpion melted away, transforming into icy mist that surged into Chen Feng's body through his skin.
Amidst the swirling icy mist, the Ice Emperor beneath Chen Feng quietly vanished. To an onlooker, it would seem like the Ice Emperor had melted away. But for the Ice Emperor, this wasn't melting; it was burning. Only by burning its own essence could it create such an effect. Otherwise, not even the strongest weapon could harm its tough body.
A golden halo began to appear, guiding the white halo to flow into Chen Feng's body. The cold wind howled, and large snowflakes blanketed the vast ice field. Suddenly, waves of energy surged, clearing a patch of snow around, revealing a perfectly sculpted body.
Chen Feng stood there, flawless and strong, with skin as white as jade, radiating a captivating glow against the snowy backdrop. He exuded a noble aura, as if he were the king of this icy realm.
Slowly, Chen Feng opened his eyes, and in his dark pupils, two colors flashed: first gold, then emerald green, before being enveloped by darkness. An extraordinary sight unfolded; the snowflakes falling from the sky avoided a three-foot radius around him, creating a vacuum in the icy landscape.
Chen Feng clenched his fist, and with a powerful punch, the air exploded with a loud bang.
