Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 106 Communication and Sacrifice

With no spirit beasts blocking their way, Ding Quan arrived at his destination without any hindrance and stopped at the foot of an iceberg.

"This is a Titan Snow Demon that is over 100,000 years old!"

"Lightning tribulation, what terrifying power."

Amidst the icebergs, a giant, snow-white ape over a hundred meters tall exuded a chilling aura, further reducing the already frigid temperature in the surrounding area.

The enormous Titan Snow Demon moved swiftly, its roar stirring up the surrounding snow and ice. Under the influence of its terrifying ice-attribute soul power, it formed an iceberg-like barrier in the sky, attempting to block the heavenly tribulation.

Unfortunately, the lightning that was walking above the thunderclouds only spilled out a portion, yet it destroyed most of the iceberg-like barrier.

Ice is normally non-conductive, but the lightning above the tribulation seemed unaffected. The terrifying lightning struck the hundred-meter-tall Titan Snow Demon directly along the iceberg, which is why it roared.

Although they were still some distance apart, Ding Quan felt a sense of oppression as he sensed the thunderclouds in the sky not far away.

This thundercloud is even more terrifying than the thundercloud created by the Thunderous Hell Vine on the overseas islands before.

Ding Quan turned his gaze to Wei'er, who had quieted down here. Her eyes were fixed on the thundercloud, and he wondered what she was thinking.

"Quan, is such power really something a 100,000-year-old soul beast can achieve?" Ling had seen 100,000-year-old soul beasts in action before, and he had already witnessed the strength of the two beast kings in the Star Dou Great Forest, but it seemed that they could not change the celestial phenomena with their own cultivation.

"This Titan Snow Demon's cultivation level should be 200,000 years. Once it successfully transcends its tribulation, it will become a ferocious beast."

"A ferocious beast! No wonder it's so strong." With a cultivation period of 200,000 years, its strength has reached the level of a Soul Master of level 96, and it is a level 96 with a Soul Core. Such strength is even stronger than the level 96 of this era.

Not to mention that the Titan Snow Demon possesses the bloodline of the ancient Ice God, and its strength cannot be judged solely by its age.

Once one's cultivation reaches the level of Super Douluo or above, the gap between each level becomes extremely large. Sword Douluo once said that a level 96 cultivator could easily crush a level 95 Soul Master. Ding Quan looked at the aura created by the Titan Snow Demon, who had cultivated for 200,000 years, and his words made a lot of sense. However, he was a little puzzled as to why he couldn't do it.

This Titan Snow Demon displayed power greater than the combined strength of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"This Titan Snow Demon has incredible control; its mental power is far superior to ours." The ice quickly reformed after being destroyed by lightning, its mental power surpassing ours.

It seems that even if I were to take action, I would have to wait until it was completely exhausted, and I don't know if I would have the mental strength to do so by then.

The Titan Snow Demon possesses mental attributes, and with its current strength, its mental power is probably no weaker than its soul power level.

"The tribulation has begun!" Vera suddenly exclaimed.

Sizzle! Boom!

Just as Wei'er finished speaking, a bright light flashed above the thunderclouds in the sky, illuminating the originally dim, icy and snowy land.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure came from the sky, and in their eyes, the height of the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to have decreased.

After the light, the surrounding environment darkened as expanding thunderclouds blocked the sunlight.

Huge bolts of lightning cleaved down from the thunderclouds, resembling a vast pool of lightning. The icebergs created by the Titan Snow Demon using the blizzard began to crumble under the lightning.

Woo oh!

Momo!

Titan Snow Demon pounded its chest a few times, let out a roar, and then its soul power suddenly burst forth.

"Lie down!" Upon seeing this, Ding Quan immediately pulled Ling and Wei'er to lie down on the snow.

The next instant, the snow around them was swept away by a terrifying force, and then under the soul power of the Titan Snow Demon, the snow began to condense together, and an iceberg similar in size to the surrounding icebergs took shape in Ding Quan's eyes.

The Titan Snow Demon's figure was completely obscured by the iceberg and instantly disappeared from Ding Quan and the others' sight. Ding Quan's expression changed; their target had vanished.

The lightning in the sky struck the iceberg directly, instantly causing it to drop a significant portion of its height.

Ouch!

A painful sound emanated from beneath the iceberg. The sound was muffled and grew fainter until it disappeared completely.

"Quan, it's not over yet!" Just as Ding Quan was about to use his Xuanhuo Eyes to investigate, Wei'er's gaze fell on the thunderclouds in the sky.

Click!

The lightning within the thunderclouds began to gather, eventually transforming into a bolt of lightning as thick as the Titan Snow Demon's arm.

It vanished in a flash!
Boom! Boom boom boom~~
What a terrifying power!

Ding Quan, Ling, and Wei'er, who had been watching Lei Yun from a distance, looked horrified and immediately got up to hide.

The iceberg created by the Titan Snow Demon actually shattered under this lightning strike, sending countless ice chunks flying in all directions. Although the group was some distance away, they were still affected by the impact.

The thunderclouds in the sky have dissipated. Is it over?

However, no spirit rings appeared beneath the iceberg, so the Titan Snow Demon is still alive. Could it have successfully transcended its tribulation?

Or was my previous guess wrong, and this Titan Snow Demon is actually the Titan Blood Demon King from ten thousand years in the future?

Or perhaps there are other Titan Snow Demons besides the Titan Blood Demon King, who are over 200,000 years old, but the book doesn't mention them, or perhaps they exist in the remaining parts that I haven't read.

"Quan, shall we go back?" As the storm caused by the iceberg's explosion gradually subsided, Vera looked at the collapsed iceberg, now only a section remained, with a solemn expression.

The group had been dodging the flying ice shards for some time, but now there was no more movement from there.

There is no spirit ring there now, or perhaps the spirit ring was blocked by the iceberg.

Of course, it's also possible that the Titan Snow Demon didn't die and successfully transcended its tribulation.

If that's the case, even if it's severely injured now, it's still not something we can get close to. A ferocious beast that's 200,000 years old, given how it just created an iceberg several kilometers wide in an instant, killing a few of us wouldn't take much effort.

Ding Quan had obviously considered this possibility as well, and a fire ignited in his golden-red eyes, but then his expression turned strange.

"Let's go there!"

"Could it be!" Vera's face lit up with surprise, and then the group quickly headed towards the iceberg created by the Titan Snow Demon, which was now just a base.

"That bolt of lightning actually pierced right through this iceberg." A hole on the iceberg still crackled with electricity, revealing a massive opening nearly ten meters wide before Ding Quan and his companions. This was the result of the final lightning tribulation. "Let's go in." Ding Quan stared at the opening; the soul power inside was extremely weak, even weaker than his own.

With the Dragon Abyss Sword appearing in his hand, Ding Quan used his flight ability to leap down.

A burst of electricity shot through her body; it was Vera releasing her soul power to illuminate the entrance to the cave, where arcs of electricity occasionally flashed in the darkness.

Huh~~!

A sound like exhaling reached Ding Quan's ears, but he ignored it and continued forward.

One minute later, Ding Quan arrived in a very large space.

"It's not dead yet?" In a vast space hundreds of years old, a huge body lay stiffly on the ground, and the sound of breathing came from its body.

"But it's almost over. It seems it hasn't survived the tribulation." Ling looked at the massive body. On its body, a huge hole appeared in its chest, about the same size as the opening.

Moreover, under the illumination of the electric light released by Vera, the snow beneath their feet had turned red.

This is the blood flowing from this Titan Snow Demon, which was frozen directly by the low temperature when it reached the ground.

"Human?!" A hoarse voice came from the Titan Snow Demon. It was probably because it rarely spoke, so the language was not clear and contained a hint of surprise.

"Yes," Ding Quan said, turning to look at the still motionless body. It was indeed at the end of its life, but its size was too large and its vitality was too strong, barely keeping it alive, but it wouldn't last much longer.

"I never expected you to come here!" At this moment, a clear voice rang in Ding Quan and the others' minds.

Spiritual exchange?

Ding Quan looked surprised, but then relaxed. The Titan Snow Demon did indeed possess mental attributes, but its current mental power was not much stronger than his own.

“We never expected to see you fall so soon,” Ding Quan said in the spiritual realm.

"Your spiritual power truly surprises me. Even when my kin were at your level, their spiritual power was far inferior to yours. You have come here, presumably for the soul bone within me."

"That was correct before."

"What a pity, you will not be able to obtain my soul bone."

"Senior, don't rush to act. Perhaps you can choose another path." Ding Quan sensed a faint trace of soul power on the Titan Snow Demon and was immediately pleasantly surprised. He then interrupted its actions.

The fact that the Titan Snow Demon's soul core has not completely disappeared is good news, as it means that its soul bone still exists.

However, its spiritual power is still intact, and it needs to control the soul core to make it explode.

Ang~!

A golden dragon soul flew out from Ding Quan's sea of ​​consciousness, followed by a Suanni soul.

"Hmm? Dragon Soul, is this an auspicious beast?" Titan Snow Demon paused, as if it had seen something extraordinary.

"Human, speak, what is the other path you mentioned!" The Titan Snow Demon's spirit fluctuated noticeably, and it wasn't until half a minute later that Ding Quan received the message from her.

"I'm sure you've already figured it out, senior. They all sacrificed themselves for me, so I preserved their souls, and they even possess intelligence." Ding Quan told a lie. He had hunted down this Suanni-blooded soul beast, but at the time, its soul fragments entered his spiritual sea. Instead of erasing them, he allowed them to recuperate within his spiritual sea.

In addition, he had cultivated the Soul Skill "Reign Supreme," which allowed him to imbue his attacks with his own spiritual will.

Therefore, in the face of the world's ruler, who possessed his own spiritual will, he had been cultivating himself in his own spiritual sea. His originally not-so-powerful spirit could be said to have been severely influenced by himself, or rather, brainwashed. And this dragon soul was almost the same.

Ding Quan's consciousness also turned to the Suanni soul, having just heard Titan Snow Demon mention the auspicious beast.

Now, the auspicious beast among the soul beasts, the three-eyed golden lion that will appear ten thousand years later, has been born. The golden lion does indeed look similar to the suanni, except that it does not have three eyes.

Could it be that my own Suanni soul also possesses some ability to control destiny? However, seeing the Titan Snow Demon's reaction now, perhaps it's a good thing.

"Sacrifice! Human, do you want me to sacrifice myself?" Titan Snow Demon was somewhat angry. Humans and soul beasts have a natural antagonistic relationship. It was not afraid of the people in the group attacking it. It had already survived the tribulation of lightning. Although it was about to die, its lifespan had reached 200,000 years.

Even titled Douluo cannot absorb a spirit ring that is 200,000 years old. The only spirit bone that they can obtain can now be destroyed by self-destruction.

“Senior, perhaps you could consider our talents before making a decision. A heavenly tribulation lasting two hundred thousand years could cost you your life, but for us, becoming a god might not be an illusion.” Ding Quan’s spiritual power surged, and his aura exploded instantly.

"A hundred thousand years level?" Titan Snow Demon's spirit weakened instantly. The person before him was so weak, yet his spiritual power had reached the level of his own hundred thousand years. In other words, this person possessed the spiritual power that only human Title Douluo possessed. Such talent!
“Moreover, I now seem to have the ability to stop you from destroying your soul core,” Ding Quan then said. “Wei’er, Ling, show us your martial souls!”

"Hehe, okay." Wei'er, who had been paying attention to the exchange between Ding Quan and Titan Snow Demon, said in her mind. Immediately, six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, one black and one gray, appeared on Wei'er's body.

Ling also released his martial soul, the Ice and Fire Illusion Lotus, and at the same time, a wave of spiritual energy appeared in this huge space.

At the same time, two powerful auras rose from the two men, and their momentum was no less than that of Ding Quan.

"Two domains?" As a Titan Snow Demon that has existed for two hundred thousand years, it naturally possesses domain skills and obviously recognized the domains of these two people immediately. Moreover, these are innate domains, skills that can be used directly without the need for soul bones or soul rings. It has never seen the talents of these two people before; perhaps only gods possess such martial souls and abilities.

“Senior, you possess the spiritual attribute, and she also possesses both spiritual and ice attributes. If you were to sacrifice your soul to her, you could probably survive in the Sea of ​​Spirit, just like them.” Ding Quan pointed to the dragon soul and the Suanni soul. “Once we become gods, we will definitely resurrect you. With our talents, if we cannot become gods, then probably no one else can. Moreover, one of the domains we possess now comes from the gods. In other words, we are all on the path to godhood.”

Ding Quan noticed that Titan Snow Demon's spirit was somewhat fluctuating. Indeed, the Killing God Domain was obtained by the group through a trial ground of a god. Obtaining the Killing God Domain was the first step in undergoing the Asura God Trial. Ding Quan was not wrong in saying this.

"From God!"

“Senior, I swear that once I become a god, I will resurrect you. Your soul can roam in my spiritual sea and continue to live in this world.” Ling Jian Titan Snow Demon fell silent. Ding Quan had already blocked the other party’s path, and he had to seize this opportunity.

Ling had opened up the Sea of ​​Spirit long ago. Although Wei'er's spiritual power was not as strong as Ding Quan's and Ling's, it was still the same.

Although Ling didn't know if he could preserve Titan Snow Demon's soul, now was not the time to think about that. A two-hundred-thousand-year soul ring with attributes extremely suitable for him was something he couldn't easily let go of.

The space fell silent instantly. Ding Quan's golden-red eyes lit up as he silently watched the Titan Snow Demon's body, its aura growing weaker and weaker.

"You must do what you say!" Just as Ding Quan saw its aura about to dissipate and was preparing to use a mental attack to stop it, a crisp sound entered the minds of the group.

"Of course!" As soon as Ling finished speaking, a dazzling red light fell directly on Ling.

It seems that even beings that have lived for over 100,000 years resist death, and only by becoming a god can one achieve immortality.
