Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 143

The Far North is located in the northern border of the Sky Soul Empire. It is one of the forbidden areas that few humans have set foot in on the continent. It is not only full of dangers because of the extremely cold climate, but also because it is inhabited by extremely powerful soul beasts with strong strength and ferocious nature. The temperature in the Far North is extremely harsh. The closer to the core area, the closer the temperature is to the extreme ice temperature, which is difficult for ordinary humans to resist.

The core area of ​​the Far North is extremely dangerous. It is covered with ice and snow all year round, and one can even find the legendary Mysterious Ice Marrow. This extremely cold thing not only has an extremely low temperature and contains extreme cold air, but also has extremely high spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is the pinnacle of extremely cold things.

This area is almost insurmountable for ordinary people, but for some soul masters who possess special abilities such as extreme ice, it may be a rare place for cultivation.

As Huo Yuhao walked arduously through the ice and snow of the Far North, he asked himself, “Brother Tianmeng, how far do we have to go north?”

The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in his mind, with a tired but firm tone: "Yuhao, we have entered the outer periphery of the Far North, but we have to continue to go deeper north. The closer to the core area, the purer the energy, which will be of great help to your cultivation of the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit. The spirit ring I have planned for you this time is the Ice Jade Scorpion, one of the strongest races in the Far North. Hehe, however, with your current strength, we cannot go deep into the core area. We can stop a little further ahead. This range should be enough for us to encounter a ten thousand year old Ice Jade Scorpion."

Huo Yuhao was shocked when he heard what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said. He knew how powerful the Ice Jade Scorpion was. It was an extremely rare and powerful soul beast in the Far North. They had extreme ice attributes and usually only lived in the core area of ​​the Far North, where almost no one could match them.

"Ice Jade Scorpion..." Huo Yuhao repeated the name in a low voice, feeling both anticipation and nervousness. He knew what it meant to obtain an Ice Jade Scorpion spirit ring. It would be a huge leap in his strength, but it also meant facing great danger.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to sense his nervousness and soothed him, "Don't worry, Yuhao. I'm here, and I'll warn you if you're in danger. Although the Ice Jade Scorpions are powerful, they are not invincible. What's more, with my help, your Ultimate Ice will give you a certain advantage over the Ice Jade Scorpions. And we have external aid, right?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, glanced at the exposed arm of Titan, and nodded firmly, "I understand, Brother Tianmeng. I will do my best and will not let you down."

“Uncle Titan, aren’t you afraid of the cold?” Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but ask along the way. The temperature in the Far North was not something that ordinary soul masters could endure, except for him, the owner of the ultimate ice martial soul.

In the endless cold wind of the Far North, Huo Yuhao and Tai Tan walked side by side. The surrounding scene became more and more desolate. The snow-covered ice field extended to the horizon, and the ice-covered rocks stood like silent giants on this vast frozen land. The chill in the air was like a substance, and the biting cold wind whistled from all directions. Even Huo Yuhao could feel the extreme cold force constantly eroding his body temperature.

Titan still walked steadily. In this cold environment, he seemed to feel no discomfort at all. Huo Yuhao could not help but admire Titan's strength even more. He knew that although he had the Ultimate Ice Spirit and could stay relatively warm in this environment, Titan could walk here as if it were flat ground with his own strength, which showed how profound his cultivation was.

“Uncle Taitan,” Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but ask, his voice sounding a little muffled in the cold wind, “How do you withstand the cold here? I heard that ordinary spirit masters who stay here for too long will get frostbite or even die.”

Titan grinned, and his laughter echoed across the ice field like thunder. "Boy, this little bit of cold is not enough to harm me. Although I don't have a martial soul like the Ultimate Ice, my body is enough to allow me to withstand the coldness of this frozen land. Besides, years of training have given me considerable resistance to this extreme environment."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and he had a better understanding of Titan's abilities. He knew that Titan's power was far beyond his reach, and with him by his side, he could focus more on finding the Ice Jade Scorpion without having to worry too much about safety issues.

As the two continued to go deeper into the Far North, the temperature around them dropped sharply, the air seemed to become stagnant, and they could feel the pain of their lungs being frozen by the icy air every time they breathed. On the distant horizon, an ice field gradually appeared, flashing with a strange blue light.

"We're almost there," Titan pointed at the ice field, his voice low but powerful, "Ahead is one of the territories of the Ice Scorpion, and the target you're looking for should be there."

Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of Tai Tan's finger, and saw that the ice field was like a huge mirror, flashing a faint blue light, as if the stars in the sky were reflected in it. The chill in the air seemed to have reached its peak at this moment, and even Huo Yuhao's breathing began to become a little heavy.

“Brother Tianmeng, is this the territory of the Ice Jade Scorpion?” Huo Yuhao asked in his heart, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in his mind, a little tired but still firm, "Yes, this is the territory of the Ice Jade Scorpion. There are countless Ice Jade Scorpion nests buried under this ice field. Each Ice Jade Scorpion is an extremely powerful soul beast, especially their Lord-level individuals, which are powerful enough to rival Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo-level strongmen. Your current target is a ten thousand year level Ice Jade Scorpion. Although it is powerful, you are strong enough to deal with it now."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and nodded firmly, "I understand, Brother Tianmeng. I will do my best and will not let you down."

Titan sensed Huo Yuhao's mood change and turned his head slightly. "Don't be nervous, kid. Even though the Ice Scorpion is powerful, you still have a chance of winning. I'll be watching from the sidelines, and I'll help you if you're in danger."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Taitan. I will be careful."

The two continued to move forward, gradually approaching the ice field that was flashing blue light. As they approached, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel the chill in the air gradually becoming stronger, the extreme coldness seemed to freeze his blood. However, in this environment, the Extreme Ice Martial Spirit in his body became more active, as if it was eager to absorb more icy power.

After walking for about half an hour, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped. His spirit soul was already activated, and his eyes were fixed on the edge of the ice field in front of him. He seemed to see something vaguely.

“Uncle Tai Tan, there is movement ahead.” Huo Yuhao whispered, with a hint of caution in his tone. Tai Tan nodded and said in a deep voice, “Be careful, it could be a sign of the Ice Jade Scorpion appearing.”

The two slowed down their pace and slowly moved forward. Sure enough, in the snow at the edge of the ice field, a huge creature was slowly crawling. It was a huge ice-blue scorpion, three meters long, with a crystal clear shell, as if it was made of the purest ice crystals. Each of its feet was as sharp as a blade, gently scratching the ice and snow, leaving deep marks. The most eye-catching thing was its huge tail hook, the end of which flashed with a cold light, as if it could freeze any creature it touched in place at any time.

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and he was secretly surprised. The appearance of this Ice Jade Scorpion was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Every movement it made carried an endless amount of icy power, as if the temperature between heaven and earth dropped by one degree as it moved.

“Brother Tianmeng, is this the Ice Jade Scorpion? It looks really powerful.” Huo Yuhao asked in his heart, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in his mind, with a soothing tone, "Yes, this is the Ice Scorpion. They are very powerful, but don't be afraid. I am here, and your Ultimate Ice can restrain its power. Moreover, you have the help of Uncle Titan, so this battle will not be too difficult."

Huo Yuhao nodded, took a deep breath, and calmed down his nervousness. He knew that this battle was crucial to him, not only for obtaining the spirit ring, but also a true test of his own strength.

“Uncle Titan, I’m about to start.” Huo Yuhao said softly, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

Titan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Go ahead, kid. Remember, don't underestimate the enemy. Although the Ice Scorpion is powerful, you are not a weakling. Give it a try and don't worry."

Huo Yuhao nodded, his eyes fixed on the Ice Jade Scorpion. As his martial spirit switched, five spirit rings, one red and four orange, suddenly rose up, and his entire aura changed instantly, becoming cold and fierce. The power of extreme ice surged in his body, as if it had merged with the surrounding chill.

At this moment, the Ice Jade Scorpion seemed to have sensed Huo Yuhao's presence and suddenly stopped. Its eyes, which were gleaming with ice-blue light, stared at Huo Yuhao, revealing a bit of vigilance and hostility. Huo Yuhao knew that a battle was about to break out.

“Come on!” Huo Yuhao chanted in his mind, and his figure flashed out like lightning, heading straight for the Ice Jade Scorpion. Every step he took was filled with the chill of extreme ice, and ice crystals seemed to condense in the air, moving forward with his movements.

The Ice Jade Scorpion did not hesitate at all. Its tail hook suddenly rose up, like an ice-blue lightning, and fiercely stabbed towards Huo Yuhao. The fierce momentum made Huo Yuhao feel oppressed, but he did not retreat at all. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his feet unfolded a ghostly shadow. His figure became illusory in an instant, and he easily dodged the Ice Jade Scorpion's attack.

“That was a close call!” Huo Yuhao secretly exclaimed in his heart. Although he dodged the attack, the strong pressure still made him feel frightened. He knew that he had to be extremely careful in every step he took, otherwise he would be hit by the tail hook of the Ice Jade Scorpion.
, the consequences will be disastrous.

The Ice Scorpion seemed to be enraged by Huo Yuhao's speed. Its movements became more and more rapid, and its tail hook continuously stabbed at Huo Yuhao. Each strike carried a powerful icy force, as if it wanted to freeze him completely.

Huo Yuhao still maintained his ghostly footwork, moving like a ghost through the Ice Jade Scorpion's attacks, looking for an opportunity to counterattack. At the same time, his right hand was quietly covered with a layer of diamond-like ice crystals, the Ice Emperor Body Guard had been activated, and the Ice Emperor Claw was ready to go.

At the moment when the Ice Jade Scorpion attacked again, Huo Yuhao suddenly accelerated, and in a flash, he appeared beside the Ice Jade Scorpion in a very short time. Without any hesitation, he swung his right hand suddenly, and the dark golden claws spewed out, fiercely slashing at the Ice Jade Scorpion's body.

"Bang!" The dark gold claw collided with the ice blue shell of the Ice Jade Scorpion, making a loud noise. The powerful impact caused the Ice Jade Scorpion's body to tremble slightly, but its hard iron shell was not easily broken, but instead stirred up a piece of ice debris.

"It's indeed worthy of being called the Ice Jade Scorpion!" Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. The Ice Jade Scorpion's defense was indeed strong, and the Dark Gold Claw alone was not enough to cause fatal damage to it. He quickly retreated, distanced himself from the Ice Jade Scorpion, and prepared for the next round of attack.

However, the Ice Jade Scorpion did not give him a chance to breathe. It raised its huge tail hook again and stabbed towards Huo Yuhao quickly. This time, its speed was faster and its power was stronger, as if it wanted to kill Huo Yuhao with one blow.

"Ice Emperor protect me!" Huo Yuhao shouted, and the diamond ice crystals on the surface of his body instantly burst into dazzling light, wrapping his entire body. At the same time, a turquoise light flashed in his eyes, and the eternal frozen domain suddenly unfolded, and the extreme coldness spread instantly, as if to freeze the entire world at this moment.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's tail hook fiercely stabbed at Huo Yuhao, but the moment it came into contact with the Everfreeze Domain, its movement actually paused slightly. The endless chill seemed to have penetrated into its body, slowing it down a bit. This moment of stagnation gave Huo Yuhao precious time to counterattack.

"Mad God Slash!" Huo Yuhao's body suddenly changed shape, rising to four meters high. His arms turned into giant axes, and with endless chill and power, he fiercely slashed at the body of the Ice Jade Scorpion. This strike contained all of his strength and soul power, and the target was directly at the head of the Ice Jade Scorpion.

"Bang!" The giant axe hit the Ice Scorpion's head heavily, and the huge force finally shook its defense. A long crack appeared in the Ice Scorpion's shell, and blue ice crystal blood flowed out of the crack, dyeing the snow red.

The Ice Jade Scorpion let out a shrill roar, and its body trembled violently. It was obvious that the attack had caused it considerable damage. However, its eyes became even colder, and the chill that seemed to come from the depths of hell struck Huo Yuhao again, as if it was going to freeze Huo Yuhao completely.
