Chapter 42.2. Creating God?
Even though Huo Yuhao didn’t expect to simply soar into the heavens with a single step because of this, he would still no longer be a simple control-type soul master who had no combat strength once the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion became his martial soul. On the contrary, he would become a powerful dual-attributed control and assault-type soul master. It didn’t matter what soul skill the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion gave him, as it would definitely be a tyrannically offensive skill! After all, her strength had allowed her to become one of the Three Emperors of the Extreme North. Furthermore, since she was a hundred thousand year soul beast, she was also guaranteed to give him a soul bone.
How could Huo Yuhao not feel excited about this?
The Skydream Iceworm struck while the iron was hot, “How about it? You have to clearly think this through. You also can’t miss this opportunity, as this chance definitely won’t come again. I’m also no longer the original me. However, if you don’t agree to my suggestion, I’ll have no choice but to turn you into a regular soul ring, both for the sake of my own immortality, and to make my master stronger. Only, if that happens, you’ll lose your intelligence. You should know that I have several different ways to kill you know that I’ve trapped you. At most, I’ll just have to waste some time to do so. On one hand, you have a chance at immortality. On the other hand, you have definite destruction. You’d best think carefully about which path you want to take.”
His words undoubtedly carried a threat within them. However, the world of soul beasts was different than that of humans. More often than not, directly threatening the other party would bring about better results in a negotiation between soul beasts. The Skydream Iceworm had lived for a million years, and even though the first nine hundred thousand years of his life were as blank as sheet of paper due to his slumber, the amount of fighting and scheming he’d undergone due to the powerful soul beasts within the Great Star Dou Forest wasn’t small. He’d undergone god-knows how many tribulations while attempting to escape with his life intact, all of which had strengthened his craftiness and intellect.
“Do I have any other choice?” The Ice Empress replied in an indifferent tone. Despite her tone however, her dense killing intent and chilliness had already decreased by a large amount. She was clearly trying to reach a compromise. Although she’d have to give up her freedom in for this chance at achieving immortality, living was still much better than dying—especially to a soul beast like her, who’d already lived for nearly four hundred thousand years.
The Skydream Iceworm let out a large sigh of relief. “It’s no wonder that you’re the Snowy I love the most. In the future, you’ll definitely be delighted by the choice you’ve made today.”
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion angrily replied, “Skydream, if a piece of trash like you dares to take advantage of this old woman, I’ll see to it that you two follow each other to the grave, even if it means risking my life to do so. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to destroy this cage of yours if I self-destruct. If that happens, you two will have no choice but to accompany me to my death. I’m fine with creating a God with you, but I have a request: Don’t speak so much bullshit.”
“Err… you don’t have to be this merciless. I really came here just for you….”
The Ice Empress looked at him coldly, but remained silent.
