Chapter 135: Dividing Tianmeng
The power of Hyotei's ultimate ice was so great that even Bibi Dong took notice.
However she was not afraid of Hyotei's soul skills. Unless Hyotei became a god there was nothing she could do to her.
Because Bibi Dong had eaten the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot she had cultivated the Ice and Fire Alchemic Body and was not afraid of attacks from ice-elemental energy.
Even if this was the ultimate ice it could only freeze the environment around Bibi Dong at most but it could not harm her.
In Bibi Dong's eyes the ultimate ice of the Ice Emperor was not as powerful as her two diamond-like front claws.
Seeing that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was frozen Qi Tian walked towards Bibi Dong.
Hyotei watched in horror and couldn't help but advise "Humans why don't we just give up and let them have the Ice Silkworm?"
The presence of three Peerless Douluo put a lot of pressure on the Ice Emperor.
"Don't be afraid—I invited them!" Qi Tian reassured her.
"As long as you don't commit mass killings in the human world they won't do anything to you because of me."
Bibi Dong and the other two had all their spirit rings full so there was no need to cause any unnecessary trouble. Besides even if they took action they might not be able to capture Ice Emperor.
Even if they could keep Hyotei Qi Tian was still here; he could easily move Hyotei away.
"Hmph—if human soul masters don't provoke me I naturally won't kill people indiscriminately!" Ice Emperor said.
She wasn't a soul beast that cultivated by devouring life forms so naturally she wouldn't easily provoke powerful enemies for herself.
Next she remained silent and watched Qi Tian approach Bibi Dong and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly scrutinising the Ice Emperor in front of her with a somewhat dangerous look in her eyes.
Qi Tian was not afraid at all and took the initiative to say in the body of the Ice Emperor "Let me kill this Ice Silkworm."
"If you make a move its body's energy will be transformed into a soul ring and eventually dissipate into the world."
"If I kill it its energy will still be stored in its flesh and blood and everyone can benefit from it!"
Bibi Dong didn't say anything. She could have taken the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm away and left it for the other members of Spirit Hall to absorb its spirit rings.
However she was afraid that this would ruin Qi Tian's plan so she gave up the idea.
"Don't kill me! Ice Emperor—we are all soul beasts—how can you join forces with humans to kill me?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cried out.
It was frozen but its mental strength was so great that it could communicate with people outside.
Qi Tian said calmly "Ice Silkworm—our Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion clan feeds on soul beasts like Ice Silkworms. How could I possibly let you go?"
"Wait—Ice Emperor—I know where there is Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. You can eat the ice marrow to cultivate but don't eat me!" said the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Oh? Where?" Qi Tian asked.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm stammered and couldn't explain. When it entered the Ice Abyss it was not yet intelligent and didn't even know how it got in.
It ate and slept inside—and ate and slept. By the time it gained intelligence it had almost eaten up all the ice marrow there. How much was left?
"Hmph? You dare to lie to me?" Qi Tian said coldly.
Qi Tian raised his head and looked at Bibi Dong who was silently observing from the side and asked "Human powerhouse—what is your name?"
"Hmph! This is Her Holiness Bibi Dong—the Pope of our Spirit Hall!" A gruff voice rang out.
It turned out that when the two Priests saw Qi Tian approaching Bibi Dong they quietly moved closer and surrounded Qi Tian.
Qi Tian undaunted asked "Humans—this soul beast has a very strong soul. Do you have any methods to weaken it?"
Bibi Dong remained silent for a while before finally speaking "Let me do it!"
Her Death Spider Emperor could corrode life force and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor could devour souls. Tianmeng's soul was a delicacy to the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor.
Bibi Dong used the true form of the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor to first injure Tianmeng's soul with her skills and then slowly devoured it.
Qi Tian's split soul within Bibi Dong's body allowed him to empathise with her.
"Hiss—what immense spiritual power! It's a pity that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm doesn't know how to use it effectively," Qi Tian thought to himself.
Before long a rosy glow appeared on Bibi Dong's face which even the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor's soul power could not conceal.
She must have gained considerable benefits in this process.
At this moment Ice Emperor said "Alright—if this continues the Ice Silkworm will die and then it will turn into a soul ring!"
Upon hearing this Qi Tian told Bibi Dong to stop.
Bibi Dong withdrew her spirit true form—a satisfied look on her face—feeling refreshed.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm inside the ice block looked somewhat weak at this moment.
Following Bing Di's instructions Qi Tian transformed back into his soul beast form raised his two large front claws enhanced them with his skills and then slammed them down with force.
This blow destroyed the life force of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
In that instant the ice block more than eight metres long broke in two along the golden pattern around the centre of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's body.
At the behest of the Ice Emperor Qi Tian gave half of the prize to Bibi Dong and the others while she kept the other half for herself.
"Bibi Dong—this ice silkworm grew up eating ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow. Its flesh and blood are comparable to rare and precious treasures. You can keep this piece!"
The vital energy of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could nourish the souls of Star Dou Great Forest for Spirit Hall and also nurture a large number of Soul Master geniuses.
After Qi Tian finished doing all this Bing Di urged him to leave.
He had no choice but to carry the corpse of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and roar northward.
The two Priests watched Hyotei depart and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were Peerless Douluo this was the first time they had ever seen a soul beast with such a powerful aura.
They found even powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts troublesome let alone this 390,000-year-old ferocious beast.
"Your Holiness—what should we do with the corpse of this soul beast?"
Bibi Dong watched the giant scorpion leave sighed and said "Take it back with us; consider it part of our resources!"
A fragrant aroma wafted from the half-frozen silkworm. The two Priests swallowed hard; they had never tasted anything like it before.
Every piece of flesh and blood was comparable to a spiritual medicine; this was the first time they had ever seen such a soul beast.
Although they didn't get its spirit ring and spirit bone it didn't seem like a big loss.
Bibi Dong also gained considerable benefits from devouring the soul of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
...
In a deserted area Qi Tian released the Ice Silkworm.
"Ice Emperor—carrying the Ice Silkworm is too conspicuous. Do you have a storage soul tool?" Qi Tian asked.
"A storage soul tool? How could I have a soul tool from you humans?" Hyotei asked puzzled.
Deep in the far north few human soul masters ever visited and she was not a bloodthirsty beast so she did not collect any soul tools.
Qi Tian sighed and used the Sea-Stabilising Pearl to teleport a ring over.
He needed to transform into human form before he could wear this ring-shaped soul tool.
Qi Tian transformed into a human and driven by a wicked sense of humour put the ring on his ring finger before storing the Ice Silkworm's corpse inside.
"Tsk tsk—you humans are really clever to be able to invent something like this. It looks pretty useful."
"Is it easy to use? Then I'll give it to you. You'd better listen to me from now on!" Qi Tian said.
After doing all this Qi Tian continued his journey heading towards the far north.
He hadn't forgotten that there was another mission waiting for him there.
