From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 364 System Upgrade
Not to mention how he himself became a million-year-old soul beast, this highly plastic insect egg alone is enough to prove their strength.

After discussing the specific details with Leng Xiyao, Snow Emperor felt relieved and called out to Ice Emperor:
"Bingdi, come here."

"Huh? Sister Xue, are you done?" Bingdi was busy dealing with Tianmeng and didn't notice that Xuedi had returned. When he heard her call, he put down the badly beaten Tianmeng and crawled over.

"Almost. The magic of this insect egg is beyond my imagination. Tianmeng also told me before that as long as we become the heroic creatures of the insect race, we can gain control of it. This little sister is also willing to leave this beast to us and use it as our own combat power, so I think you can take this opportunity to perform the ceremony with them."

"What about you?" Bingdi asked with concern.

"After I finish this matter, I will go to the human world to find you. Tianmeng has a way to help me cover up the aura of the soul beast. When she needs a soul ring again, I will sacrifice for her." Xue Di explained.

Now her life span is 580,000 years. Although there are still a few thousand years before the deadline, such an opportunity may not come even in tens of thousands of years, let alone thousands of years.

No one wants to die, not even Xue Di is an exception. Although she has an extraordinary temperament and seems to be indifferent to everything, she dare not be vague when it comes to matters of life and death.

Leng Xiyao certainly knew that Xue Di would not refuse her proposal to use it as a spare soul ring. In fact, when a soul beast reaches 100,000 years old, it is no different from being in prison. Soul beasts that have not opened their spiritual intelligence can move recklessly in the entire ecosystem, but soul beasts that are 100,000 years old can only stay in their own territory. For Xue Di, the desolate Far North is just a small territory, and there is not much fun in it. In the future, following Leng Xiyao around will definitely be much more interesting than watching various snow soul beasts show their teeth here.

"Okay, in that case, let's get started." Bingdi nodded, then lay down in front of Leng Xiyao.

It would be impossible to say that she was not nervous. For soul beasts, sacrifice is something that only happens once in a lifetime, and the concept that sacrifice means death is deeply engraved in their souls. Even with the soul contract as a guarantee, she still trembled with fear.

Leng Xiyao sat down cross-legged in front of Bingdi. Tianmeng stopped pretending to be dead and crawled over quickly.

"Ice Emperor, don't be afraid. We soul beasts are gifted in sacrifice. You just need to mobilize all your strength and try to condense it into a soul ring. You will lose consciousness after that, but it won't last long. You can rest assured that I'm here with you." Tian Meng stretched out her little paws and touched the shell on Ice Emperor's back, giving her some comfort.

"Yeah." With Tian Meng, an experienced person, standing by to support him, Bingdi relaxed a lot and went straight into the state of sacrifice.

Tian Meng also activated his spiritual realm, ready to assist Bingdi in extracting the soul ring from her body.

Sacrifice is an extremely painful thing. The condensation of the soul ring seems to be just the extraction of power, but in fact it is similar to the bleeding of humans. And the extraction of soul bones is like peeling off the skin and pulling out the tendons, forcibly pulling out a piece of bone. The pain can be imagined.

The soul bones produced by the Ice Emperor are torso bones, which are even worse than the soul bones of the arms or legs. Of course, ordinary soul beasts have no chance of having their soul bones taken out while they are alive.

Leng Xiyao did not let Bingdi suffer for too long. A familiar black hole appeared in her palm, and two strange forces penetrated into Bingdi's body.

Although it has been quite a long time since Tianmeng's sacrifice, so long that it would probably take 350 chapters to write a novel, she is still very familiar with this process.

The main thing is that she only needs to submit the hive point, and she doesn't have to do anything else.

However, compared to the rather high cost last time, with Tian Meng's assistance this time, the number of insect nest points Leng Xiyao handed in was almost only one-tenth of last time, which was a considerable saving.

Tian Meng's mental power guided the two forces, and soon pulled out the soul ring and soul bone that the Ice Emperor had just condensed, and sent them into the black hole in Leng Xiyao's palm.

As the spirit rings and spirit bones were extracted, Bingdi lost consciousness and fell down powerlessly.

Strangely enough, this energy seemed to have a characteristic that made everything it touched become illusory. Otherwise, extracting the soul bones forcibly would surely result in a bloody mess. However, after the soul bones were extracted, the Ice Emperor was just like losing his skeleton, and the outer shell was not damaged at all.

"Okay, Xiyao, you don't need my help with the next thing. You can make your own decision."

Tian Meng seemed to have gained a lot when his mental power was intertwined with this energy. He did not care about Leng Xiyao and Bingdi, but crawled to the side and had an epiphany.

His help was indeed not needed for the next thing. After the soul ring was absorbed, a familiar light covered the "corpse" of the Ice Emperor, constantly condensing and compressing it. After the light dissipated, an ice-blue egg was left behind. However, the size of this egg was much smaller than Tianmeng's, but it was engraved with many patterns. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing. It was much better than Tianmeng's ugly egg.

"Sister Xue, this is the Ice Emperor's egg. Please send it to your lake. It will hatch much faster in this treasure land." After saying this, Leng Xiyao quickly found a place to sit down. After the upgrade, a series of information came, and she needed to digest it quickly.

Snow Emperor picked up Ice Emperor's egg and probed it with her soul power. She vaguely sensed that there was a cute little girl inside. The key parts of her body were covered with hard shells and a scorpion tail was wrapped around her. She looked no different from a soul master with a beast martial soul.

She didn't feel that these vital signs were much stronger than before, but when she thought about it carefully, perhaps it was because the hatching had not been completed yet. The Ice Emperor had just turned into an egg and it might have a long way to go before it could break out of the shell.

Thinking of this, Xue Di placed the Ice Emperor's egg in the pond below the Heart of Leviathan as Leng Xiyao had instructed. Then, without disturbing the two people who had just attained enlightenment, she observed the changes in the Ice Emperor's egg while watching over the insect egg.

The familiar voice sounded again, and Leng Xiyao also put her consciousness into the system:
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the fourth soul ring. The system level has been upgraded from lv3 to lv4. You can now make a strategic decision."

"Obtain active skills: [Legendary·Immobilization Wave], [Epic·Group Rage], and the talent [Psionic Shield]"

"After this upgrade, the system will no longer provide the host with the option to learn skills, but will directly give the corresponding skills."

"Host upgrade rewards: evolution points +100, attribute points +10, skill points +3, legendary skill point +1."

"Obtained special equipment: Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion Trunk Bones x 2 (Equippable) (Usable)"

"Obtain Zerg Biotechnology: Mimic Hatchling"
