Chapter 59: Extreme North
--- Chapter 59 ---
"What?"
"What did you say?!"
Tian Meng tried to rock Huo Yuhao's body back and forth, but since her current state was merely an ethereal form powered by her spiritual energy, she couldn't move the immovable young man.
"You heard it correctly, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao laughed playfully. "I'm going to beat the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor into submission. Her 400.000 years old strength is enough to be a reasonable gauge for my sealed powers."
"T-Then, what about my plan?" Tian Meng sounds desperate because she hasn't seen her beloved Bing Bing for a while. It's been years since she saw the Ice Emperor of the Extreme North, hoping she could convince the ranked 8th Calamity.
Huo Yuhao gave her an amused look and returned, "Your plan isn't going to work well without proof. Ice Emperor is the second strongest being in the Extreme North, and like her title, words aren't going to sway her thought easily."
Tian Meng was dumbfounded and pondered for a moment because Huo Yuhao's statement was true. A powerful spirit beast like Ice Emperor won't get convinced easily, so having a more fail-proof method would make this easier."
"Still, you're just a Spirit Sage, Little Brother."
"Even if you have twin martial souls-."
"I'm not just a mere Spirit Sage, trust me." Huo Yuhao called the Chains of Heaven to the real world, causing Tian Meng's eyes to widen in shock.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and watched six crimson spirit rings floating around her young host. The seventh spirit ring appeared, and her jaw dropped immediately.
"N-No way..."
Huo Yuhao grinned at Tiang Meng and teased, "Surprise~! You're not my first 1.000.000 years old spirit ring."
"Kuugh... M-My pride. How could break this sister's pride like this, Yuhao." Tian Meng dramatically fell onto the ground and even created light to focus on herself with spiritual energy.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and called, "Come here, Skye."
SWOOSH!
Tian Meng saw Huo Yuhao's shadows expanding on the corner of her eyes and felt the presence of the Great Beast, no weaker than the Ice Emperor. She turned around and witnessed a shadowy dragon with azure flames on its body.
"Shishou, Ying'er. We have done the first step, so let's go to the Extreme North." Huo Yuhao called over his companions.
"What are you-." Tiang Meng was confused and saw two beautiful young ladies appear out of thin air. She hated to admit it, but their appearances rivaled hers.
"Heh." Scathach looked down on Tian Meng and observed the Sky Dream Ice Worm with a curious look. "You're not bad for a worm. To have so much Spiritual Energy that could match my dear student is rare."
"How did you see me??"
Qianye Ying'er giggled since Tian Meng was shocked because someone beside Huo Yuhao could see her ethereal form. Spirit Circuits enhanced the usage of the Universal Breathing Technique, allowing one to boost all five senses and even grant innate ability based on the individual.
"Well, she would get used to it later." She approached Skye and patted the dragon on the head.
...
...
Huo Yuhao's group flew to the Extreme North of the Douluo Continent with Skye's help, coursing through the atmosphere quickly.
"Dragon Nest..." Tian Meng rested her miniature form on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "So you're the leader of this super secret organization?"
After a few kilometers, Tian Meng stopped because they were near the inner area of the Extreme North. She looked around for a moment and wondered for a shortcut to find the Ice Emperor faster.
"Is there a problem?" Huo Yuhao asked while puffing white steam from his mouth.
Tian Meng rubbed her chin and replied, "I'm thinking about a shortcut. You covered yourself with a weird technique before, no? Does it mask your presence?"
"Yes." Qianye Ying'er answered for Huo Yuhao. "Stealth Rune allowed the caster to cover one's presence for three hours. It masks all kinds of things, including smell and aura."
"Great~!" An excited grin appeared on Tian Meng's face.
"We'll take a shortcut through Ice Devil Titan's domain. He shouldn't be able to sense us with his dull spiritual sense."
They moved again and immediately entered the Ice Devil Titan's Domain, encountering several giant-sized beasts with human-like appearances on the way. After running for fifteen minutes, Scathach tilted her head and saw an enormous shadow.
"Oh, wow. What a big guy." She said casually.
[Name: Ice Devil Titan]
[Species: Titan/Spirit Beast]
[Age: 269.000 years old]
[Description: The Ice Devil Titans live in cold environments and are descendants of the Titan Giant Clan, with Ice God's Blood flowing in their veins]
[Ice Devil Titans are over ten meters tall at birth. Adult Ice Devil Titans are over fifty meters tall, and The Ice Devil Titan King is over a hundred meters tall. He's most likely the "largest." living creature on the Douluo Continent]
The Ice Devil Titan King had a very similar build to humans. It had long yet slender arms, and snowy white fur covered its entire body. Even its face had somewhat resemblance features to humans, except there were many wrinkles on its forehead, and its skin had a copper tint. It had two large fangs, and those two fangs showed its true colors as a spirit beast.
"Damn, Boy! He's Thicc." Huo Yuhao commented while looking at the enormous being before him.
Tian Meng's face became pale, "Oh no..."
"Run-!"
"Too late!!" Huo Yuhao and Scathach jumped, soaring toward the enormous beast.
The Ice Devil Titan King enjoyed the scenery of the Extreme North and walked around his playground, seeing two ants-like creatures approach him. He frowned and released his beastly aura toward them, but they became even faster for some reason.
"Hello there, big guy." Huo Yuhao pulled his entire left arm to the back. "What about rock paper scissors?"
"Here, take my rock."
Tian Meng watched her host throwing a punch and closing her eyes tight because she didn't want to see Ice Devil Titan King kill him.
"Penetrating Fist."
"Gae Bolg: Halve."
SWOOSH! BAM!
CRACK! BOOOOM!
"Eh?" She slowly opened her eyes and saw the infamous Ice Devil Titan King falling to the ground, creating massive avalanches in every direction.
"Hehe, Do you think Huo Yuhao is weak?" Qianye Ying'er giggled on the side. "He's the absolute ruler of the Dragon Nest, and people call him by many titles, but one should be enough to make you understand the base of his power."
"Huo Yuhao, The Blue-Eyed Dragon King."
