Chapter 60 - Ice Emperor

--- Chapter 60 ---

BOOM!

The Extreme North was suddenly shaken by a powerful tremor, sending the snow to the sky and scattering the area in chaos. The source of this was Ice Devil Titan King who fell after receiving two abnormal human attacks.

"Oh, well. You should have used paper." Huo Yuhao descended from the sky and landed on the enormous beast's chest.

[Ice Devil Titan King(Dizzy)]

Huo Yuhao saw the status of the Ice Devil Titan King and smiled because this guy was so tough to receive Shishou and his attacks and only got dizzy. "What a guy." He chuckled and activated the War Beast's sub-race.

"That's why your blood is gonna be a fine addition to my War Beast's race."

Tian Meng and every Spirit Beast within a 1km radius trembled when sensing the wild beast's aura from the Ice Devil Titan's body. Even with the Stealth Rune, Huo Yuhao's presence was like a beacon of power against Spirit Beast with wild instinct.

"W-What's that..?" The Skydream Ice Worm looked at the monster on top of Ice Devil Titan King's Chest.

A human-like beast stood around 8ft with pale skin and long white hair tied in a ponytail surrounding his slender yet muscular physique. Thick white furs, like an animal pelt, covered his whole body, which took the form of clothes. There are also cloaks made of feathers floating around the creature, gleaming with black luster.

(An: He looks like 41st Shin Yoosung from ORV)

[War Beast's Form(Heavenly Demon Change)]

[Allowed the host to transform into Humanoid Beast with a White Tiger-like appearance as the base, enhancing all attributes by 399% based on the Races added to White Beast's Race]

[Races(+)]

[Great White Tiger(Metal/Light)]

[Abyssal Roc(Darkness/Wind)]

[Elder Phoenix(Fire)]

[Black Tortoise(Water)]

[Taotie(Earth)]

[Wood Fairy(Wood)]

[Mythical Qilin(Luck)]

[Divine Fox(Destiny)

Huo Yuhao lifted his claw-like finger and pierced Ice Devil Titan King's chest, absorbing the blood supposed to have Ice God's lineage. He could feel an extreme coldness yet pure strength coming from the beast's blood and merged it with War Beast's race.

[You have taken the Ice Titan Devil's Blood]

[Please wait three months for War Beast's Race to digest and absorb the blood]

"That's longer than I expected." Huo Yuhao patted the small prick with Wood Fairy's nourishment, healing the dizzy spirit beast from his punch. "There, you all good, buddy."

"Thanks for the blood."

He deactivated the War Beast's form and said, "Evo, use 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket to hasten the process."

[Utilizing 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket to hasten the War Beast's absorption process]

[Please wait 30 minutes for War Beast's Race to digest and absorb the blood]

"That's much better." A satisfied chuckle escaped Huo Yuhao's mouth.

Scathach stepped on the Ice Devil Titan's chest after playing with the snow around the enormous beast. She threw a snowball at her student and watched him catch it casually, smirking because Huo Yuhao War Beast's senses improved again.

"Yuhao, should I add more Restriction Runes on your body? I assume the last one has become easier." Scathach questioned with a grin.

Under Huo Yuhao's clothes, she could see a complex amount of Restrictions Runes in the shape of scarlet Ouroboros. There are 12 segments of the Ouroboros's tattoo, meaning Huo Yuhao has twelve seals on his body.

'And each segment has at least 50 Restriction Runes, which could turn Spirit Sage into a useless mess because their spirit energy and physical strengths would get completely sealed, turning them into a weakened human. However, my beloved student is different because 12 segments aren't enough to restrict him. His body is like a constantly evolving star with boundless potential.' Scathach licked her lips because Huo Yuhao might be able to kill her with his full power. After all, with 12 seals off, Huo Yuhao could tap the power of gods.

Huo Yuhao chuckled when hearing Scathach's comment about the Restrictions Runes. And she wasn't wrong because he could feel his body become lighter than last week. After killing so many Spirit Beasts in the Advalon and currently absorbing Ice Devil Titan's blood, the Restriction Runes become lacking a little.

"Go for it, Shishou. You can add two more seals." He said with a challenging tone because his Spirit Energy would get reduced to a mere Spirit Grandmaster after it.

Scathach walked toward Huo Yuhao and had Primordial Runes floating above her right palm. She lifted her student's shirt and gently caressed his abs for a moment. "There! That should be enough for now." She said while looking at the two added segments of the Ouroboros's tattoo on Huo Yuhao's upper left chest.

"Uuh... That wasn't so bad." Huo Yuhao felt heavier and moved around for a moment to adapt to new restrictions.

"Well, let's go down. The big guy should awake from his dizziness now."

They jumped off Ice Devil Titan King's chest and ran toward Qianye Ying'er. Huo Yuhao noticed Tian Meng's dumbfounded expression and smirked inside because his previous feats shocked her.

Tian Meng clutched Huo Yuhao's shoulders and asked, "H-How could you, a Spirit Sage, punch Ice Devil Titan King with such ease?!"

"Training, Sister Daydream. I've been training for six years straight with "extreme." intensity, and people usually won't survive." Huo Yuhao shrugged while adjusting his Universal Breathing Technique.

"Anyway, let's meet the Ice Emperor."

"Hehe, I told you already~." Qianye Ying'er snickered on the side.

They moved to another side of Extreme North with Tian Meng's help. Even though the Skydream Ice Worm received too many shocks, she was still determined to make the Ice Emperor join her plan to make Huo Yuhao a god. It's a way that bypasses Divine Realm's biased law that restricts Spirit Beast from ascending godhood.

"We are here." Tian Meng solemnly watched a land that parted between ice and snow. She wiped her forehead nervously and used her spiritual energy to scan the area.

"Huo Yuhao, can you lend me your spiritual energy for a moment? I wanted to use my presence to lure Bing Bing."

"Take as much as you want, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao doesn't have a reason to say no.

Tian Meng dived into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea and created a spiritual copy of herself, but purely made of her host's spiritual energy. A golden silhouette parallel to Huo Yuhao and Tiang Meng's looks manifested in the air, releasing Skydream Ice Worm's presence in the Ice Emperor's Domain.

"Come here, Bing Bing. I know you're here." A smile slowly appeared on the golden silhouette face.

SWOOSH!

BOOM!

"Tian Meng..."

A cold voice akin to Pure Ice echoed from the depth of Snowy Land, revealing a jade-like creature to the world.

"You're still alive?"

"You worm, how dare you come here after eating those Ice Essences. You GLUTTONOUS WORM!"

BOOM!

As the snow suddenly exploded and was blown away by the Ice Emperor's power, everyone could see a beautiful spirit beast with a unique appearance.

[Name: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion]

[Species: Spirit Beast/Royal Ice]

[Age: 399.999 years old]

[Description: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, or what people know as the Ice Emperor, possessed an Absolute Ice element. She is the second strongest out of the Arctic kings of the Extreme North and is ranked 8th amongst the continent's top 10 Calamities]

The Ice Emperor was roughly 1.5 meters long. The Ice Emperor was a scorpion with two dominant color schemes, One was the color of ice, and the other was a jade green color. Its head "completely." was covered with a jade-like glow, and its silver-white mouth shone with an ominous, cold light.

The Ice Emperor also has two pinchers around one meter long with strange diamond-like hexagonal bumps, having mirror-like texture at the tips. It also has a long tail with five segments and an "extremely." sharp stinger at the end.

And A pair of yellow diamond eyes stared at Tian Meng with indifference, making the Skydream Ice Worm tremble in excitement.

"My beautiful Bing Bing~!" Tian Ming finally met her love life again.

"You're coming to die, huh?" The Ice Emperor released the Absolute Ice element and wanted to blow Tian Meng away, but the 1.000.000 spirit beast was ready.

Tian Meng slowly grinned and created an orb of Huo Yuhao's spiritual energy, sealing the Ice Emperor in a trap that won't break easily. She tapped the Golden Orb and whispered, "We'll be together again, Bing Bing~."

"YOU BASTARD-!" The Ice Emperor yelled before getting shut up by Tian Meng completely.

Huo Yuhao summoned the Chain of Heavens and created wormholes to transport them away from this place. He doesn't need to wait for Tian Meng's order because this place isn't suitable for his upcoming fight with the Ice Emperor.

BOOM!

They landed outside the Extreme North and created a crater because of the Ice Emperor's sheer strength. Tian Ming was taken aback and saw her host giving a thumbs up.

"You can talk with the Ice Emperor first, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao shouted while taking a beef jerky from his inventory. "I'll wait for my turn here."

Tian Meng nodded and replied, "Okay."

She created a hole in the Golden Prison and saw piercing jade light coming. It passed Tian Meng's spiritual manifestation and sealed the land behind her in Absolute Ice.

"Chill, Bing Bing. Chill..." She couldn't help but shake her head.

The Ice Emperor huffed and growled, "Why are you doing this, Tian Meng?"

"Bing Bing, I want you to join my super duper genius plan. After reaching 1.000.000 years old and thinking for so long, I've come up with a brilliant idea. I WANTED TO MAKE A GOD!" Tian Meng declared with a proud look on her face.

The Ice Emperor frowned and returned, "Make a god? Are you insane?"

"Of course not." The Skydream Ice Worm giggled. "Bing Bing, what do you think about humans?"

"At first, they were weak, but their potential and desire drove them to become stronger. 10.000 years ago, you felt it, right? The sky changed abruptly, and A God was Born."

"That's why I wanted to replicate that by turning myself into an intelligent Spirit Ring. We could make a human god with our strength."

"With my current host, whose potential is probably the highest in the world, I'm 69.69% sure we could turn him into a full-fledged God. And with your help, my beautiful BingBing. We could raise that chance even more."

"Hmph, you would only make your host explode before he could even become stronger." The Ice Emperor sneered because Tian Meng's plan was bound to fail.

"Is that so? Little Brother Yuhao, this sister needs your help a little." Tian Meng called over her host.

Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage and arrived on their sides instantly. "Nice to meet you, Ice Emperor." He lifted his mask.

"My name is Huo Yuhao."

"You said I'd explode, but that won't happen because Sister Daydream's 1.000.000 essence couldn't affect me. I've absorbed her essence and stored it in my body, allowing me to grasp four of her spirit skills."

"Not to mention..." Huo Yuhao summoned Chains of Heaven's spirit rings. "I'm not your typical human."

The Ice Emperor's yellow eyes widened because seven spirit rings emerged from thin air. She broke through Tian Meng's barrier and approached Huo Yuhao.

"How is that possible?"

"Y-You have six crimson spirit rings and one 1.000.000 years old..."

Huo Yuhao lifted his White Ogre Mask and answered, "I just built differently."

"What about a little contest?"

"Contest." The Ice Emperor is still thinking about the pros and cons of Tian Meng's plan. It sounds ridiculous because the Skydream Ice Worm wanted to make a god, but this human is beyond "normal." standards.

Huo Yuhao released his Haoshoku Haki and continued, "We'll fight here and prove each other's strength. And the loser should agree to the winner's wish."

"You can use your full power."

"What an arrogant human..." The Ice Emperor waved the stinger around Huo Yuhao's head. "Are you sure you can handle my noble power?"

"Who knows? We haven't started the fight yet." Huo Yuhao returned with confidence.

The Ice Emperor suddenly released an ice blast at Huo Yuhao, and he stayed in the position with a smirk. The ice wave swept over the area, but one spot burned with intense heat. A purple flame covered Huo Yuhao's body, burning with draconic presence.

"Those spirit rings..." The Ice Emperor crossed the pincers and saw five purple-gold spirit rings around Huo Yuhao.

A faint image of an enormous dragon appeared behind Huo Yuhao, overshadowing the sky with his might. It released a presence that made the Douluo Continent shudder for a moment.

"Naga's Thunderfire... Violet Supernova." A concentrated purple ray escaped Huo Yuhao's body and swept over the Ice Emperor, burning the ground to nothingness.

BOOM!!!

COUGH!

"A-Are you even a human..?" The Ice Emperor was in bad condition because Thunderfire somehow countered her Absolute Ice. She could have died because Huo Yuhao's attack melted her outer shell.

Huo Yuhao stepped before the Ice Emperor and patted the spirit beast's head a few times. "What do you think, Ice Emperor? Am I strong enough~?" He said with a playful tone.

"Tian Meng, what kind of monster are you bringing here..." A painful groan came from the Ice Emperor.
