Chapter 75: Failure to Absorb the Soul Ring
Warm sunlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the slightly illusory figure of the old man, but it did not leave any shadow on the ground. This scene looked a little weird.

The sudden appearance of the illusory old figure and the aura that suddenly burst out, which was no less than that of a level 99 Ultimate Douluo, directly made the Ice Emperor stunned in place. He stared at the former with horror, and his eyes were filled with incredible thoughts as if a stormy wave was rolling...

Just when the Ice Emperor's emerald green tail hook was about to pierce Xiao Yan's body, suddenly, it felt a huge pressure sweeping out from the old figure in front of it, and then its whole body tensed up and it couldn't move.

The terrifying pressure released from Yao Lao's body was so severe that Bing Di's body made a creaking sound. No matter how it struggled, the pressure was still increasing, and there was no possibility for it to break free.

The front claws that were raised high were gradually suppressed, and even the sharp tail stinger was pressed close to the body. The Ice Emperor, one of the three kings of the Far North, was thus firmly grasped by an illusory soul.

"No...no, how is this possible? Are you a human or a ghost?" Looking at the illusory soul body floating in the air not far away, Bingdi shouted coldly.

Hearing this, Yao Lao smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was also shocked. After a long moment, he tilted his head and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, it's a good thing you came out."

"Teacher?" The black-robed youth addressed the mysterious old man, which made Bingdi's heart skip a beat. At the same time, the look in his eyes when he looked at the former became much different, no longer with that arrogant and contemptuous feeling.

In mid-air, Yao Lao glanced at the Ice Emperor below and said in a deep voice: "Little Scorpion, didn't you just say that you wanted to see if my disciple can show the amazing strength that can become a god? What do you think now?"

"The gods of this world are nothing more than small Dou Zong in my eyes. If I were in my prime, I could kill the so-called gods in less than three rounds!!!"

Yao Lao's words were not an exaggeration. When he was in the Dou Qi Continent during his victorious period, he was at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun. Why would he need three moves to kill a low-level Dou Zong? One move would probably be enough.

"Within three rounds? To kill someone?" Upon hearing this, Bingdi's pupils shrank slightly. The shock and disbelief in his heart lasted for quite a while before gradually fading away.

In Bingdi's opinion, the old man in front of him was just a remnant soul, and his strength was able to reach the level of a demigod. What he said just now should be true, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Old sir, we can talk it out."

"I agree with Tianmeng's proposal. I took action just now only to test the strength of this young man. After all, he will be my master in the future. I can't sacrifice myself without knowing the truth, right?"

"Oh? Just want to test your strength? Then let me test your strength now to see if you are qualified to be the soul ring of my disciple." Hearing this, Yao Lao said slowly. The dark white flame seemed to have spirituality, constantly circling around his body up and down, looking extremely mysterious and strange.

Hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face suddenly changed, and a trace of panic flashed in its eyes. Its body, condensed by the essence of its spirit, leaped suddenly, and came to the front of Bingdi. Looking at Yao Lao who was suspended in the air, it begged, "Old sir, please don't hurt Bingbing. It really didn't mean it just now."

"After all, what if I lied to her? As for the matter of sacrifice, I think as long as there is a slight chance of survival, no soul beast will choose this path. If I had not been forced by those guys in the Xingdou Great Forest, I would not have sacrificed myself. Old sir, please give Bingbing another chance, and I will persuade it."

After saying that, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm turned around and looked at Bingdi with deep affection, while Bingdi looked at it coldly but said nothing more, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. After all, once it was deceived, there would be no possibility of turning back.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm naturally saw the Ice Emperor's hesitation and swore in a deep voice: "Ice God, I, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, swear in the name of Ice that if I deceived the Ice Emperor today and did not help it become a wisdom spirit ring after it sacrificed and released its spiritual essence, everything that belongs to Ice will be taken away by you."

This oath didn't sound like much to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, but Ice Emperor didn't think so. In its opinion, this was the most serious oath made by any soul beast in the Far North.

"Okay. I believe you, and I'm willing to take a chance with you." The Ice Emperor was able to become one of the three great kings of the Far North, and he was a decisive killer. Now with Yao Lao forcing him, he made up his mind after a brief hesitation.

The next second, the Ice Emperor's crystal yellow eyes gradually turned into emerald green, and its long scorpion tail curled up again. A soft emerald green halo rippled from the base of its tail backwards, and finally condensed at one end of the tail hook. With a flash of green light, a small emerald green light ball slowly separated from it and floated up.

This is its spiritual origin.

At this moment, the eyes of the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion had lost their original brilliance and gradually became dim.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, tightened his black robe, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the green ball of light.

“Don’t worry, little brat, just absorb the spirit ring. No matter what happens along the way, your master will cover you.” Looking at Xiao Yan’s back, Yao Lao said with a serious expression.

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded slightly with a calm face. He sat cross-legged in the snow, and formed a strange seal with his hands in front of his chest. The faint soul power in his body moved in response to his heart, and his mental power gradually began to establish a connection with the green light ball.

At this time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reminded him, "Xiao Yan, this time is different from the last time. At that time, the energy in my body was almost drained away by the soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest, leaving only the spiritual essence. The Ice Emperor is a soul beast with a cultivation level of nearly 400,000 years. You will definitely not be able to absorb all of its terrifying energy at once. I can only seal up a part of its power to prevent you from bursting."

"I know, don't worry. Even if something unexpected happens along the way, we still have our teacher here." Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, then turned around and looked at Yao Lao who was floating in the air, his eyes full of trust.

"Okay." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiled mysteriously and said, "Then it's up to me from now on. Just lie still and don't move."

The next second, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm took a deep breath, and its body turned into a ball of golden light and floated to the side of the emerald green light ball. Then, under the guidance of the golden light ball, the emerald green light ball drilled into Xiao Yan's forehead with a whoosh.

With a bang, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's body, which had lost its spiritual origin, fell to the ground, instantly creating a big hole in the snow. Although it had lost its spiritual origin, its body still exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

The calm air suddenly began to surge violently, and traces of emerald green energy began to gradually seep out of Xiao Yan's body. He bit his lips tightly with his teeth, and the enormous power of the Ice Emperor's origin made his whole body twitch.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan's veins were much tougher than those of others, so although he felt a lot of pain, it did not cause him too much harm.

"This kid's physical fitness is not bad. However, Tianmeng, if you dare to lie to me, I will tear your body apart." The Ice Emperor's voice full of disdain sounded, and this time, it appeared in Xiao Yan's mind.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly had a strange idea. With the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Bingbi Emperor Scorpion, Alex and himself... in his spiritual sea, there were enough people to play mahjong for a whole table. It would be really lively!

If Yao Lao were to join in, there would be three people and two beasts, which is interesting to think about.

Tianmeng Bingcan smiled and said, "Bingbing, don't worry. If you die, we will all die. Of course I won't lie to you. Besides, the old gentleman outside is still here. Don't worry, no accidents will happen." "What if there is an accident?" Bingdi said unhappily.

Tianmeng Bingcan swore again: "If something unexpected happens this time, I will never be able to see you in person again, and you will forget me forever. Xiao Yan's second martial soul has been activated, and you are not suitable for his first martial soul. Next, your original power will merge with his second martial soul."

"Hmm." Bingdi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiao Yan, I hope you can withstand my power. Otherwise, everything will be in vain, harming you and us."

Compared to its attitude when talking to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Ice Emperor became much gentler towards Xiao Yan. Perhaps it was because it was about to become a part of Xiao Yan's body, or perhaps it was because of Yao Lao, so it was naturally willing to make friends with this tiny human.

"Don't worry, I can bear it, because I still have too many things to complete, and I won't die so easily." Xiao Yan's voice was very sincere, full of determination and indomitable spirit, and also carried a bit of murderous intent.

After hesitating for a moment, Bingdi said in a deep voice: "Okay, in that case, let's not delay any further. Let's start the fusion right away."

"Let's start." Xiao Yan nodded vigorously and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, an extreme chill instantly blossomed in Xiao Yan's spiritual sea. He shuddered all over and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. This was different from the feeling when he first came to the core area of ​​the Far North. This time, the chill appeared in his soul, and his thoughts seemed to be frozen.

I saw a ray of emerald green light, shining brightly in Xiao Yan's mind. His spiritual eyes also turned emerald green at this moment. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched everything that happened in front of him, but he was completely silent and let the Ice Emperor perform.

Two emerald green rays of light shot out from Xiao Yan's eyes and landed accurately on the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body, which was condensed from the spiritual essence. The latter's 1.5-meter-long body suddenly trembled violently. Especially the long tail, the emerald green halo continued to fluctuate violently. Each of the diamond-like hexagonal protrusions on the body exuded a dazzling brilliance.

Xiao Yan vaguely heard Ice Emperor sigh, and then he felt an extreme chill that made his soul and body numb in an instant.

The strong emerald green light swept through Xiao Yan's spiritual sea frantically. When the emerald green turned into dark green, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion swam behind Xiao Yan. Its sharp scorpion tail hook swam up suddenly and pierced into the former's tail vertebrae fiercely.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's body trembled violently, and he felt as if his coccyx was instantly pierced by something. The sharp and pointed existence pierced his skin, fascia, flesh, and finally embedded into his bones. The whole person was convulsing violently and gasping for breath.

The spiritual source of the Ice Emperor naturally passed through Xiao Yan's spine first. As the liquid green color slowly moved upwards, his ribs began to become green branches, and then moved upwards again. When it reached the cyclone, a change occurred.

In Xiao Yan's body, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, which had already transformed into Xiao Yan's second martial soul, was actually resisting the idea of ​​merging with this power. A majestic, dark white flame swept out, swallowing up the Ice Emperor's original power. Suddenly, a shrill scream that made people's scalps numb was heard.

"How could this happen? Bingbing, are you okay?" Upon seeing this, Tianmeng Bingcan's face suddenly changed. He looked towards the sea of ​​​​spiritual that had changed abnormally and said in a lost voice.

Hearing the screams of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion coming from his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shudder all over. He felt the pain in his body begin to change again. The previous spasmodic pain gradually turned, and all the bones and muscles in his body began to feel alternating extreme cold and extreme heat. The extreme cold came from the Ice Emperor, and the extreme heat seemed to come from the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, and the two clashed with each other.

"How could this happen? Could it be that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire is not a pure ice attribute, but contains an extreme amount of heat, which is why it is so repelling of the Ice Emperor's original power?"

The previous moment, it was so cold that Xiao Yan trembled, and the next moment, the heat evaporated all the ice beads on his body, and the blood in his body began to surge like a tide. When it was extremely cold, the whole person seemed to be frozen, and the next moment when it was extremely hot, the blood in the body boiled again, and fine blood beads appeared on the surface of the skin.

From extreme cold to extreme heat, and then from extreme heat to extreme cold, the drastic change in body temperature was like melting Xiao Yan's body. Although his willpower was very strong, his consciousness gradually began to hallucinate. Different from the previous pure pain, this feeling of being thrown high and then falling hard was even more unbearable.

"Squeak...squeak..."

The ball of emerald green light was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye under the scorching heat of the Bone Spirit's cold fire. At a certain moment, a mournful hissing sound resounded throughout Xiao Yan's entire spiritual sea.

"what!"

On the snow, a sharp roar, with a bit of hoarseness, suddenly came out of Xiao Yan's mouth like a wounded wolf.

"Sure enough, something happened..." Hearing the roar filled with pain, Yao Lao's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He cursed softly, and his figure flashed, and he turned directly into a white light and entered Xiao Yan's sea of ​​​​consciousness.

As if he had sensed Yao Lao's entry, Xiao Yan raised his head with difficulty. His face, which was originally very energetic, was now almost completely pale and distorted. He looked quite terrifying. A glaring trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and as his teeth were clenched, traces of blood seeped out from his gums.

"Teacher, don't worry, I can still hold on. It's just that the Ice Emperor's original power seems unable to be absorbed by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire..." With his eyes glaring, Xiao Yan clenched his teeth tightly, and an ambiguous voice came out from between his teeth.

"That's enough. If you can't integrate it, then don't absorb it anymore." Looking at Xiao Yan's ferocious face, Yao Lao's face changed slightly. He let out an angry roar, and suddenly, his illusory body shot towards Xiao Yan.

Relying on the enormous soul power, Yao Lao slapped Xiao Yan on the chest and actually stopped the Bone Spirit Cold Fire that was burning the emerald green light ball.

At this moment, a hint of cold white light suddenly rose in Xiao Yan's dark eyes, and the emerald green light in his body actually retreated out of Xiao Yan's body and returned to the body of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

"Failed?" Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Yan's gaze moved forward, looking at the silent and cold Ice-Blue Emperor Scorpion on the ground. His face changed slightly and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah..." Yao Lao also shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, the body of the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion made a slight crackling sound, and then something faintly broke out of the body.
