Brother Tianmeng didn't know that not far from them, another human had escaped his detection and was watching their every move with a smile. At this moment, he had already persuaded Snow Empress and was envisioning the future of enjoying their two-person World with Snow Empress in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
Snow Empress, on the other hand, was fully committed to helping Huo Yuhao absorb her Spirit Bone. Since she had decided to trust Brother Tianmeng's plan, she would naturally give her all. In Snow Empress's view, there was only one person who could stop her and change her mind now! But would that person really appear? Snow Empress's heart couldn't help but feel a little bitter, because that person hadn't seen her in a long time.
Huo Yuhao didn't have so many hidden thoughts, nor did he dare to. At this moment, he was sparing no effort to fuse Snow Empress's Spirit Bone. The bone-deep pain made him want to give up more than once, but giving up meant Death, and he couldn't die. He still had a great vendetta to avenge!
"Is this... absorbing a Spirit Bone?" Zhu Ziyang seemed to understand what Huo Yuhao was doing, but his confusion didn't lessen at all. He murmured, "But why? Snow Empress isn't resisting; she's cooperating quite well! She doesn't look like she's being forced at all!"
Time passed minute by minute. Huo Yuhao's absorption of Snow Empress's Spirit Bone went smoothly, and what happened next finally explained Zhu Ziyang's confusion.
He discovered that behind Huo Yuhao, a verdant Ice Jade Scorpion phantom appeared. That phantom was ninety percent similar to a Spirit phantom. The only difference was that the Spirit phantom was lifeless, while this Ice Jade Scorpion phantom had life.
"He's fusing Spirits!" Zhu Ziyang said with surprise in his voice. "What a brilliant scheme! But can this Huo Yuhao really hold on? That's an Ice Jade Scorpion with a cultivation of 390,000 years. Even if you are a child of destiny, you shouldn't be so arrogant!"
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Ziyang finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's body began to tremble violently, and the Ice Jade Scorpion phantom behind him, which had been stable, also began to dissipate.
"Brother Tianmeng! It's not working. Even if Huo Yuhao has fused my Spirit Bone, he still can't withstand my bloodline!" In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Snow Empress was very anxious. She had already put everything into this plan, but now the foundation of the plan had a problem. Wasn't this playing a trick on her?
"Don't worry, Snow Empress! We have to believe in Yu Hao, and I'm making amends!" Brother Tianmeng also became anxious, because cracks appeared in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, which meant his spiritual sea was very likely to rupture! Once Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea ruptured, he wouldn't be able to survive, so he was very anxious and wanted to release his origin to help Huo Yuhao repair his spiritual sea.
"Brother Tianmeng, don't worry about me, I can, I can!" Huo Yuhao was still struggling to hold on, his body aching, but his mouth firm. He remembered his mother's words.
Brother Tianmeng hesitated upon hearing this. Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea really stopped rupturing, and the cracks were slowly closing, but the speed of closure was very slow. If the spiritual sea could not become stable and completely intact, then the progress of Snow Empress's Spirit fusion would be forced to stop here. Brother Tianmeng saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart. In the end, he couldn't hold back and released his origin to help Huo Yuhao repair his spiritual sea.
Huo Yuhao's condition temporarily stabilized, and the progress of the second Spirit fusion finally increased slowly, but an irreversible mutation had already occurred.
Zhu Ziyang, not far away, took all of this in, and a ripple inevitably arose in his heart. Watching the Ice Jade Scorpion phantom behind Huo Yuhao gradually turn into a cocoon, he knew that Huo Yuhao and Brother Tianmeng's plan had most likely succeeded.
Snow Empress had been urging him to save Snow Empress, but did Snow Empress really need her salvation? According to the current situation, Snow Empress clearly agreed to become Huo Yuhao's Spirit. If he interfered, it would definitely lead to the Death of Huo Yuhao, who was only a Spirit Grandmaster.
This was not a scene Zhu Ziyang wanted to see, especially since Huo Yuhao was carrying the hope of Sea God Tang San to revitalize the Tang Sect. If he really killed him, it would definitely provoke Tang San's furious revenge!
Therefore, Zhu Ziyang did not intend to intervene. He just stood a kilometer away from Huo Yuhao, silently watching this transformation that could be called a fated node.
Whether this transformation, which was about to change Huo Yuhao's destiny, was due to his own luck or the arrangement of the Sea God hidden in the God Realm, Zhu Ziyang had no way of knowing. He only knew that this transformation was full of twists and turns, truly not smooth.
The Ice Jade Scorpion phantom, which had completely cocooned, suddenly ruptured without warning, causing Huo Yuhao to instantly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face then rapidly turned ashen, and his life aura became somewhat unstable.
This sudden change startled Zhu Ziyang and also made Brother Tianmeng and Snow Empress in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Everything was going smoothly, and Huo Yuhao was about to fuse with the Ice Jade Scorpion Spirit. However, at the last moment, due to the interference of the spiritual origin that Brother Tianmeng had previously released to repair Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Snow Empress's soul could not integrate into the Spirit. This led to Brother Tianmeng's intelligent Spirit plan falling into a dead end, causing the entire fusion process to fail, and even putting Huo Yuhao in a life-threatening situation.
"Bingbing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Brother Tianmeng was filled with remorse at this moment. He never expected that a single error in judgment would lead to such serious consequences.
"Alas!" Snow Empress was very angry, but also very helpless. She knew that she couldn't blame Brother Tianmeng. She could only sigh and say, "Forget it, let it be. Instead of three people dying together, it's better for me to sacrifice myself. Brother Tianmeng, your plan is perfect. I hope you can carry the will of us Spirit Beasts and enter the God Realm!"
After speaking, Snow Empress prepared to leave Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
There were only two ways to resolve the crisis they were currently facing. One was for a higher-level existence to intervene, which was clearly impossible, as the gods of the God Realm were forbidden from interfering with matters of the lower World, and moreover, the two of them were Spirit Beasts; the other way was for Snow Empress to leave Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. As long as Snow Empress left Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, her Ice Jade Scorpion bloodline would generate a completely new Spirit within Huo Yuhao's body, and all problems would be solved.
However, without a physical body, Snow Empress, once her soul left Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, would only face Death.
"Bingbing... I'm sorry!" Brother Tianmeng was already in tears at this moment, only able to apologize meaningfully. He was now beyond his control. Highly bound to Huo Yuhao by his spiritual origin, he couldn't even leave Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, otherwise he would never watch Snow Empress go to her Death!
In Huo Yuhao's gaze, which was mixed with pain and gratitude, and in Brother Tianmeng's desperate grief and helplessness, Snow Empress floated away from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
After Snow Empress left, Huo Yuhao and Brother Tianmeng had no time to grieve. They immediately began to resolve the crisis they faced, re-condensing the Ice Jade Scorpion bloodline left by Snow Empress, attempting to form a new Spirit!
Snow Empress left Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. Her gaze looked towards the depths of the Extremely North Land, with longing and reluctance. She floated in that direction, wanting to see that person one last time before she died, preferably in her arms, to end this mistaken life!
The moment Snow Empress's soul appeared outside, Zhu Ziyang, who had been observing them, noticed it immediately. At the same time, Snow Empress in his spiritual sea pleaded with him in an almost begging tone to save Snow Empress.
"Teacher, I beg you!" Zhu Ziyang thought for a moment, then finally softened and said to Electrolux, who had been watching the show for a long time.
"Small problem!" Electrolux laughed heartily and said, "That big scorpion seems to have more than just a soul, Ziyang. You could say you've stumbled upon a great treasure this time!"
"Huh?" Zhu Ziyang was stunned, then received a reminder from Snow Empress. He didn't have time to ponder the meaning of Electrolux's words and directly released his Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon Spirit, and displayed four Snow Empress spirit rings.
With the appearance of the Snow Empress spirit rings, Snow Empress's soul, which was originally flying towards the depths of the Extremely North Core Circle, instantly stopped and then turned, flying towards Zhu Ziyang's position. When Snow Empress's soul appeared above Zhu Ziyang, Electrolux directly extended a giant gray hand, easily grabbed Snow Empress's soul, and then pulled her into Zhu Ziyang's spiritual sea.
As Snow Empress's soul appeared in Zhu Ziyang's spiritual sea, he also understood the meaning of Electrolux's words.
It turned out that Snow Empress's soul was actually attached to a verdant jade bead. This jade bead, like Snow Empress's Snow Core, was precisely Snow Empress's life origin, the Ice Core!
Snow Empress was caught by the sudden large hand and instinctively resisted, but the aura of Snow Empress emanated from the large hand. So, she unhesitatingly gave up the idea of resisting and happily allowed the large hand to take her to an unfamiliar space.
In this space, Snow Empress's aura was very strong, making Snow Empress instantly forget everything, only wanting to say to Brother Tianmeng: "Brother Tianmeng, don't come looking for me, I'm afraid Snow Empress will misunderstand!"
