The words of the Ice Silkworm evidently ignited the Ice Emperor's fury.
"You are... the Ice Emperor!" The Ice Silkworm's momentum immediately wilted.
Shui Wuya could discern fear in the other's eyes, resembling the elder from the Sun-Moon Empire before! Obviously, while this Ice Silkworm still exuded an imposing aura, it likely harbored thoughts of escape.
However, soon the Ice Silkworm calmed down. It realized that the Ice Emperor before it was merely a spiritual form, devoid of a physical body, and not as terrifying as before.
"Hehe, even someone as strong as you now exists only as a spiritual essence. In this state, how much strength do you still possess?" The Ice Silkworm's eyes gleamed with hostility as its invisible spiritual fluctuations spread out again.
Yet, the Ice Emperor effortlessly blocked these spiritual waves using his residual essence power.
"I've come today with an opportunity for you. Do you desire godhood?" Easily fending off the spiritual assault, the Ice Emperor said with a cold expression.
"Godhood?" The Ice Silkworm retreated into the ten thousand-year-old Ice Marrow, half of its body submerged. "Who doesn't desire godhood? But on our first meeting, you brought humans along. Becoming a god is false; you want to turn me into a spirit ring for your human companions, don't you?"
The Ice Silkworm had spent most of its life eating and sleeping, but that didn't mean it was foolish.
Every spirit beast understood the dynamics between them and humans.
A blizzard once again swept through the underground space. Everything in Shui Wuya's line of sight began to distort, but the Ice Emperor's spiritual power protected him, keeping him unaffected by the Ice Silkworm's immense spiritual pressure.
"Han Feng, act."
Before Shui Wuya could speak, Han Feng had already moved.
Seven spirit rings appeared beneath Han Feng, and an illusory ice-blue figure materialized behind him. However, underground, the radiance was dim, obscuring the figure.
With a low shout, Han Feng brandished a short blade and swiftly charged at the Ice Silkworm.
Glancing over, the Ice Emperor separated a strand of his spiritual essence to shield Shui Wuya and joined the fray.
No hundred-thousand-year spirit beast should be underestimated. Although Han Feng possessed eighty-level spirit power, he only had seven spirit rings, so his strength hadn't undergone a qualitative change.
Moreover, ordinary hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts would give even a typical Titled Douluo a headache.
Even though Han Feng was a Spirit Douluo of the eighth rank, facing this hundred-thousand-year-plus Ice Silkworm, and considering both sides had ice attributes, he didn't hold much advantage in terms of attributes.
In reality, Han Feng's chances of winning were quite slim.
However, the Ice Silkworm was equally unique among all spirit beasts. This species posed little threat, with its soul skills primarily focused on self-preservation rather than offense.
Although Han Feng closed in on the Ice Silkworm, it had no means of counterattack, and all mental assaults were deflected by the Ice Emperor.
Shui Wuya's sternum emitted a glow, not only shielding him but also continuously channeling power.
As the Ice Emperor's soul bones integrated into Shui Wuya's body, all the power was sealed within the soul bones, currently being unleashed.
Thanks to Shui Wuya's special constitution, he possessed the ability of Ice Immunity. Despite the Ice Emperor's terrifying power coursing through his body, it didn't burden Shui Wuya too much for the moment.
Once again, Shui Wuya felt the importance of the Octagon's Ice Immunity soul skill.
"Swift and decisive." The Ice Emperor's face remained cold as she stirred the extreme cold power contained within the ten thousand-year-old Ice Marrow surrounding them.
The immense power buried deep underground, previously being gradually consumed by the Ice Silkworm, erupted with astonishing force under the Ice Emperor's control.
The unleashed frost froze the Ice Silkworm's body but had no effect on Han Feng beside it.
Moreover, the dagger in Han Feng's hand displayed extraordinary quality, effortlessly piercing through the Ice Silkworm's surface defense!
The Ice Silkworm winced in pain, its raging spiritual power erupting violently within the confined space.
The ground trembled, and the entire cave showed signs of collapse.
The substantial impact of spiritual power, even under the Ice Emperor's protection, caused Shui Wuya's brain to ache.
Han Feng was knocked back by the mental onslaught.
But the Ice Silkworm's outburst ended there.
As an Ice Silkworm, it truly lacked many offensive capabilities.
A soul-guided cannonball pierced through the smoke from the tremors, slamming directly into the Ice Silkworm's body.
An eighth-level soul-guided cannonball exploded solidly upon impact with the Ice Silkworm.
Moreover, Han Feng had previously inflicted a wound on the Ice Silkworm.
The explosion of the cannonball widened this wound, and the blood, just about to spurt, was frozen by the cold.
Fear filled the Ice Silkworm's eyes as it turned to flee, leaving behind a mirage in its place.
It attempted to deceive the Ice Emperor and Han Feng with its soul skills.
However, it was futile. The Ice Emperor's burst of spiritual power exposed the true nature of the false Ice Silkworm left behind, and Han Feng ignored it, charging straight through.
As Han Feng passed through the Ice Silkworm, the Ice Emperor's spiritual fluctuations spread out. He saw the Ice Silkworm attempting to burrow through the ten thousand-year-old Ice Marrow behind them.
The ten thousand-year-old Ice Marrow, which had always aided the Ice Silkworm's growth, had now become its prison.
It never expected that Han Feng, merely a seventh-ring Spirit Master, would possess such formidable attacks.
One shot of an eighth-level soul-guided cannonball shattered the Ice Silkworm's courage.
Though the Ice Silkworm sought to quickly penetrate the ten thousand-year-old Ice Marrow, it couldn't.
In the end, it was just an Ice Silkworm.
The simulated soul skill only created illusions, incapable of reality.
Han Feng caught up to the Ice Silkworm, his blade falling upon it, opening its abdomen and letting its blood flow.
The Ice Silkworm attempted to resist again, but this time, Han Feng gave it another blast from close range.
Retreating significantly due to the Ice Silkworm's counterattack, Han Feng avoided the explosion's aftermath.
With two soul-guided cannonballs, Han Feng relentlessly attacked while the Ice Silkworm weakened.
Seeing Han Feng completely dominating the Ice Silkworm, the Ice Emperor retracted her power.
For her, manipulating these forces was effortless, but it still placed a considerable burden on Waterless.
Ice Immunity and Shui Wuya's own constitution helped alleviate this burden and even nullify the harm caused by the ice attribute to his body. However, the release of this power still imposed significant strain.
"I'm tired. Let's rest for a while," the Ice Emperor said, retreating into Shui Wuya's spiritual world.
At this point, if the Ice Silkworm could concentrate its spiritual power for a counterattack, it might have had a chance, but it was beyond its capability now.
Shui Wuya, standing aside, casually collected the shattered pieces of the ten thousand-year-old Ice Marrow.
Under Han Feng's relentless assault, the Ice Silkworm soon lay gasping for breath.
