Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 16: The Ice Empress

"It took two years, huh," Du Qianjue frowned slightly, but soon relaxed his brow. The power of the Chaos Dragon King martial soul had indeed exceeded his expectations, so spending two years was reasonable. Besides, he wasn't just fusing a martial soul; he had also integrated the divine soul bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

Du Qianjue clenched his fists slightly, feeling the explosive power coursing through him, giving him a profound sense of security. "I bet Tang San will be green with envy when he learns about all the benefits I've gained," he chuckled inwardly.

After all, the essence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings was far more valuable than any other herb.

"Where do we go next? Should we help you obtain your spirit ring?" Du Bushi asked.

Du Qianjue nodded. After three or four years, it was finally time to visit the Extreme North. Although the Ice Empress was always there waiting, prolonging it too much might give the impression of dragging things out unnecessarily.

"Let's head to the Extreme North first. I need to get my second spirit ring there," Du Qianjue said.

"The Extreme North, huh... alright!" Du Bushi stroked his chin and nodded slowly.

Du Qianjue had his own plans, and it was best to let him follow through with them. Du Bushi saw his role as one of providing protection and suggestions rather than interfering. He was very clear about his position and knew that he shouldn't interfere with Du Qianjue's ideas.

Shielding Du Qianjue with his soul power, Du Bushi soared into the sky, heading towards the Extreme North at high speed.

The Sunset Forest was in the center of the Tianhun Empire, so to reach the Extreme North, they would have to cross half of the Tianhun Empire, the entire Douling Empire, and then half of the Extreme North to reach its core, where the Ice Empress resided.

With Du Bushi's strength, comparable to Ditian, Du Qianjue didn't need to use tricks to lure the Ice Empress out. They could directly confront her and negotiate openly. In the original story, even the weak Huo Yuhao, before obtaining the Ice Empress martial soul, was acknowledged by the Ice Empress.

Now, with the protection of an Ultimate Douluo, a powerful sect background, and a divine martial soul talent, how could Du Qianjue not attract the Ice Empress?

"Brother Tianmeng, wake up! We're heading to the Extreme North!" Du Qianjue used his spiritual power to nudge the Skydream Iceworm awake.

"Huh? Oh, we're going to the Extreme North?" The Skydream Iceworm woke up instantly, its small eyes sparkling with excitement. "Let me tell you, once we're in the Extreme North, just follow my lead. I guarantee you'll get a super powerful spirit ring!"

Du Qianjue smiled at the Skydream Iceworm. Despite its selfish motives, it was entirely committed to helping him grow stronger. If he truly managed to become a god, Du Qianjue wouldn't mind fulfilling its wish with the Ice Empress.

"Thank you, Brother Tianmeng."

The speed of an Ultimate Douluo was incredibly fast. Even without using a flying soul tool, Du Qianjue and Du Bushi reached the outskirts of the Icebound Forest in the Extreme North in half a day.

"Uncle, we don't need to stop. Head straight to the core area of the Extreme North," Du Qianjue whispered.

Du Bushi nodded and increased his speed.

"Qianjue, that way!" The Skydream Iceworm directed.

Following its directions, Du Qianjue guided Du Bushi, who soon reached the specified location.

"Alright, Qianjue, stop here. Have your uncle conceal your presence while I lure her out and negotiate," the Skydream Iceworm instructed.

"Got it!"

"Uncle, let's go down and conceal ourselves. Then we'll wait," Du Qianjue said to Du Bushi.

Du Bushi nodded, taking Du Qianjue into the snow and concealing their presence.

The Skydream Iceworm, seeing them hidden, took a deep breath, and the remaining eight essence suns glowed, transforming into Du Qianjue's appearance before flying out from his brow and shooting into the sky.

"Ice Empress! I, Skydream, have returned for revenge! Dare you face me?!"

The loud voice, accompanied by powerful spiritual pressure, spread outwards.

Soon, the distant sky turned a shade of green, and a green streak of light sped toward them, stopping not far from the Skydream Iceworm.

"Skydream! You dare return, seeking to become my food?"

A cold, proud female voice echoed, full of killing intent.

"Heh, I've returned to be with you forever!" The Skydream Iceworm smiled slightly, signaling with its right hand behind its back.

"Hmph, disgusting! If you want to be with me forever, let me eat you!" The Ice Empress snorted coldly.

"Uncle, make your move!"

Linked with the Skydream Iceworm, Du Qianjue saw the signal and whispered to Du Bushi.

Du Bushi flashed behind the Ice Empress, striking her with a palm and pinning her to the ice, immobilized.

"Stay still and behave!" Du Bushi laughed, locking her soul core with his immense soul power, leaving her powerless.

"A human?!" The Ice Empress screamed. "Curse you, Skydream, you traitor to our kind, working with humans!"

The Skydream Iceworm felt no shame, landing before the Ice Empress.

"So what if I work with humans? I hope you will too!" It smirked.

"In your dreams! I'd rather die than trust a human!"

Hearing her resolute words, the Skydream Iceworm wasn't worried. It was confident that the Ice Empress would agree, all because of Du Qianjue.

Now, even without the Ice Empress, the Skydream Iceworm was certain Du Qianjue would become a god. Would she refuse an opportunity to become a god herself?

"Really? Even if this human can help you become a god and gain eternal life?"

The Skydream Iceworm's voice was full of temptation, like a devil's whisper.

"What?"

The Ice Empress was stunned.

Become a god? Was it possible?

At that moment, the Ice Empress wavered. The threat of her forty-thousand-year tribulation loomed over her, but if she could live, who would choose death?

"Are you serious?"
