55 Absorbing The Ice Empress (1/2)

Tian Meng replied, ”Let's do it here then. you can't rest yet; your true test is coming now”

”Sure, I know about this” Ryu said

You need to prepare yourself as well, as there's a prerequisite for the Ice Empress to fuse with you and become your martial spirit—she has to do it of her own accord. However, even if she willingly agrees, you'll still have to withstand an enormous amount of pressure. It won't be as easy as it was when I fused with you in the Great Star Dou Forest. At that point in time, I was fully drained of my energy. All I had left was my spiritual origin. Contrary to myself, she's a true three hundred thousand year spirit beast; her cultivation is even at the 399,000-year rank. You definitely won't be able to absorb such a terrifying amount of power by yourself. As such, I'll have to seal her energy up in order to make sure that you won't explode. However, this will still come as an enormous shock to your body. Thus, you'll have to persevere no matter what. If you don't, all three of us are screwed. Do you understand?” Tian Meng said

”My body is stronger than anyone, I believe I could absorb her. Let's begin” Ryu said

Then Ryu saw Tian Meng and Ice Empress in his world of consciousness.

”Ice Empress, stop resisting. You've already tried so many times, you should know that it's useless by now” Tian Meng said in its distinctively lazy voice.

The Ice Empress replied coldly, ”What do you want?”

Tian Meng gently said, ”I only want to stay with my beloved forever.”

”This is your way of showing me your love?” After thinking it over for an entire day or so, the Ice Empress had already come to the understanding that she'd been duped. At that time, if she hadn't been so close to Tian Meng, his plans would definitely have failed. Unfortunately, there was no use in her crying over spoiled milk. She'd already fallen into Tian Meng's hands, and she wasn't able to escape from this strange power. An existence like the Ice Empress, someone who had lived for almost four hundred thousand years, naturally wouldn't give up easily. Thus, she could only rely on her other abilities to escape from this strange power that she couldn't seem to resist.

Tian Meng smiled slightly. ”Don't be so impatient, listen to me.”

Tian Meng replied coldly, ”What did you say? You said that you loved me? If you really love me, then why haven't you released your true body? I've already fallen into your trap, so what do you have to be afraid of?”

The Skydream Iceworm sighed. ”I'm naturally not afraid of you, it's just that there's no way for me to let you see my true body! My true body no longer exists. Haven't you realized that you've been looking at my spiritual origin all this time, not a virtual body? After ruling over your domain for so long, you've lost your cautiousness. If you hadn't, I definitely wouldn't have succeeded so easily.”

The Ice Empress was stunned. Astonished, she replied, ”What? Do you have your spiritual origin? So your body…”

”You couldn't be referring to this human, right? Even though you've trapped me, I can easily tell how insignificant he is, just by using my eyes. Is he your puppet?”

”No, no, of course, that's not the case. He's my host, or rather, he's my master. The current me is a spirit ring that belongs to him; you should know about the spirit rings that these humans have. On the other hand, I'm the continent's first ever intelligent spirit ring.”

The Ice Empress cried out involuntarily, ”What? You've actually become a human's spirit ring? How can this be?! Even though you're a piece of trash, you've still lived for this long. How could a human's fragile body withstand your enormous energy?!”

Tian Meng smiled bitterly. ”Don't bring that up. My tragedy began with you. At that point in time, you were so persistent in eating me… there was no way that I wouldn't run away! I still needed a body to continue loving you, thus I drifted along the ocean and reached an area down south…”
