Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 109 Communication
"How arrogant!"

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and Ding Quan felt the clothes he was wearing, made from the remains of an ice silkworm, freezing over.

The Snow Emperor's expression turned cold. Although she was not confident that she could survive the tribulation ten thousand years from now, it was not entirely without a chance.

Furthermore, if becoming a god were truly that easy, then there wouldn't be a single one who hasn't appeared in the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years.

Ang~!

Feeling the chill emanating from his body and the fact that he was currently unable to move, Ding Quan felt a surge of spiritual energy between his brows.

A golden-red soul appeared before the Snow Emperor, followed by a golden dragon flying out from Ding Quan's body. The Snow Emperor looked at the Suanni that appeared from Ding Quan's spiritual sea, as well as the golden dragon soul circling around Ding Quan, and a look of surprise flashed in her sky-blue eyes.

"Snow Empress!" Titan Snow Demon also spoke up. As a creature from the far north, it was quite aware of the Snow Empress's strength. The Snow Empress had not made a move, otherwise the group could have disappeared in an instant.

However, if that's the case, it seems that what this human said earlier about the Snow Empress's inability to survive the next heavenly tribulation is true.

"Golden Dragon! And this is..." The Snow Empress's gaze lingered on the golden body of the Suanni, whose feet were burning with a few red flames, and whose aura had weakened slightly.

Ding Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Di calm down. Although he sensed that Xue Di did not have any murderous aura, she could kill several people with just a little soul power.

"Snow Emperor, these are two soul beasts that were sacrificed to me. Their souls are active in my sea of ​​consciousness, and their lifespan is increasing rapidly as my strength improves. In just a few years, they have grown from less than a thousand years old to what they are now. In addition, I am confident enough to become a god."

Ding Quan wasn't worried about whether he could become a god. He was still in danger, but he had the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The Sea God currently had no successor, so if all else failed, he could try going to Sea God Island later.

"Is that so?" Xue Di turned her gaze away from the Suanni soul beast and looked at Ding Quan with an uncertain expression, as if she was considering the truth of what he said.

Ling and Wei'er looked at Xue Di with equally bewildered expressions. Ding Quan's words had frightened them, and if Xue Di had made a move, none of them would have survived.

However, if Xue Di really becomes Ding Quan's soul ring, the improvement will be absolutely unparalleled.

The 200,000-year spirit ring greatly enhanced his strength. More importantly, the energy contained in the 100,000-year spirit ring could subtly enhance a spirit master's talent and cultivation speed. Ling could feel that even though his attributes had reached their peak and his spirit power was extremely large, his cultivation speed had not decreased; on the contrary, it had increased considerably.

Moreover, Ding Quan's ability to say such things suggests he has some confidence, perhaps knowing that the soul of his second soul ring possesses the abilities of a mythical beast; otherwise, he wouldn't have released it directly.

Feeling the lingering pressure on his body, but now that he could move again, Ding Quan also noticed Xue Di's gaze. Both the Titan Snow Demon and Xue Di felt something was strange about the Golden Lion's soul when they looked at it.

Could it really be as I suspected?

The soul of the Suanni may indeed possess some of the power of destiny, and it does indeed have some of the abilities of auspicious beasts.

The current Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of imperial power, may be with the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and not active in the Star Dou Great Forest. Without the blessing of the auspicious beast's destiny power, there are not many 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest now.

While his own Suanni soul might not have such a powerful destiny, it had still reached a lifespan of over 50,000 years.

Ding Quan's mind raced. Although encountering Xue Di was dangerous, it was also an opportunity, since he knew many secrets of the Douluo Continent.

Moreover, the other party is indeed currently searching for a way to overcome the tribulation of lightning, but has not found one after ten thousand years. In the end, she was forced to choose to transform and start over. She did not have the luck of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and fell directly into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave.

Although there are still ten thousand years before she undergoes her tribulation, which is an extremely long time and there is no need to worry in the short term, the lightning tribulation is always a sharp blade hanging over her head.

When faced with a threat to their life, few people can completely let go of it.

Moreover, she too found it difficult to resist the temptation of becoming a god.

"Whether we can become gods or not, our martial spirits will also be the answer." Ding Quan gripped the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, and as his soul power circulated, the fiery cloud patterns on the Dragon Abyss Sword lit up.

In this extremely cold far north, Ding Quan was surrounded by a strong heat that dispelled much of the surrounding cold.

"Ultimate Fire!" came the surprised voice of the Titan Snow Demon, who naturally sensed the intensity of the fire attribute.

Xue Di looked at the golden Suanni beside her. Its fire attribute was exactly the same as the one on its body. It seemed that it was indeed sacrificed to the person in front of her, so that a Soul Master could have its attribute.

It did indeed grow up alongside a Soul Master.

Two extreme attributes—such an existence has only ever appeared in one soul beast.

Ten thousand years later, the Ice Emperor recognized the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Clearly, all spirit beasts recognized auspicious beasts, and the Snow Emperor was no exception. When auspicious beasts preyed on other spirit beasts, they could not resist and could only escape. All spirit beasts could clearly sense the aura of auspicious beasts.

"Snow Emperor, besides you, there is another being in this far north who will also find it difficult to survive the next tribulation. And coincidentally, your tribulations will occur at roughly the same time." Ding Quan saw that Snow Emperor's gaze was fixed on the golden Suanni, and after thinking for a moment, he continued.

If nothing unexpected happens, ten thousand years later, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor will face their respective tribulations. In the end, the Ice Emperor will sacrifice herself, and the Snow Emperor will choose to rebuild her cultivation. Unfortunately, they will both become Huo Gua's soul rings in the end. This is a fact.

"Lord Snow Empress, could it be that you and the Ice Empress really..." Titan Snow Demon looked at Snow Empress with a strange expression. Could it be that even the strongest being in the far north could not survive the next tribulation, and that the Titan Snow Demon King of his own Titan Snow Demon clan would also be unable to survive the third tribulation? If all three rulers disappeared, who would protect the far north?

Although the Titan Snow Demons and the Ice Jade Scorpions compete with each other, they are not natural enemies, as the two species eat completely different things.

"So what?" The Snow Emperor had damaged its origin by condensing the Yin-Yang dual soul cores, and it was not confident about the seventh heavenly tribulation ten thousand years later. Moreover, for it, ten thousand years was not a long time.

The Snow Empress was quite surprised and puzzled. Could this also be the power of a mythical beast?

Ice Empress and Snow Empress knew each other and were extremely close friends. Snow Empress was also aware of Ice Empress's situation and knew that she, too, was struggling to survive her fourth Heavenly Tribulation. Snow Empress looked at the golden Suanni sitting cross-legged beside Ding Quan, then at Ding Quan's golden-red eyes. Indeed, the timing of her and Ice Empress's Heavenly Tribulations was quite close, both around ten thousand years.

However, they did not tell this information to their clansmen, and the other soul beasts had no way of knowing it. How could this person know it?

"So we can cooperate?" Ding Quanxuan's fiery eyes lit up. The Snow Emperor in front of him was not absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth energy. It seemed that she had almost stopped cultivating to accelerate the increase of her lifespan.

The lifespan of a soul beast is not the number of years it has lived. They can also accelerate the increase of their lifespan through cultivation. Although the current Snow Empress has a lifespan of 690,000 years, it does not mean that she has lived that long.

Like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the ocean, although its age is close to a million years, its true age is more than 300,000 years. It is confident that it can survive the heavenly tribulation, so it runs wildly all the way.

At this time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was in the stage of transforming into a dragon, but unfortunately he was unable to take that step.

This is because soul beasts in Douluo Continent cannot become gods; otherwise, he and the Beast God Di Tian would have become gods long ago.

Some soul beasts reach a bottleneck and, knowing they are powerless to overcome it, slow down their cultivation. Over time, their cultivation gradually increases, and they eventually die under the lightning tribulation.

"Cooperation? Impossible!" Xue Di naturally knew what cooperation meant, just like the golden dragon and golden lion in front of her.

"Don't rush to refuse. If you two know you can't survive the next tribulation, you now have another choice: will you choose to die under the tribulation, or will you choose to sacrifice your souls to survive, then ascend the path to godhood, and finally be reborn in the divine realm?" Ding Quan looked at the Snow Empress's changed expression. She probably hadn't thought of a way to rebuild her cultivation yet.

It seems that the Snow Emperor has not yet found that 100,000-year-old snow lotus, or rather, that snow lotus has not yet reached the 100,000-year mark. There are still 10,000 years before the Snow Emperor's tribulation.

"This!" Xue Di's gaze met Ding Quan's unwavering eyes. This was impossible!
Ling and Wei'er were also able to move. After hearing Ding Quan's words, they glanced at Xue Di with a strange expression, and then looked at the Titan Snow Demon, who was in the form of a soul. Ding Quan was a bit too wild.

Although the group had indeed considered attacking the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North before, it seemed unrealistic at the time. They never expected that Ding Quan would come up with such a plan now.

However, this still makes it difficult for them to leave. But with this pretext for cooperation, the Snow Empress should not easily kill them.

"In recent years, many top geniuses have emerged on the continent. Many cultivation records that were previously difficult for Soul Masters to break seem to not exist in front of them. Faced with such unprecedented geniuses, it is not surprising that some of them can become gods."

“That’s true. Among them are the champions of the two Soul Master Competitions, as well as transformed soul beasts, but their strength is far inferior to ours.” Wei’er then added, before looking at Xue Di.

"A transformed soul beast?"

"That's right, but her identity has already been exposed, and she will most likely become someone else's spirit ring, and very likely just like her senior."

"Hmph!" Titan Snow Demon snorted coldly. The gap between the Soft Bone Rabbit race and its own race was too great.

“In this era, some people can become gods. This is probably why the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest choose to lie low. They are afraid of becoming someone else’s soul ring.” Ding Quan looked at Xue Di, whose expression was somewhat heavy.

"You know about this too?" Ding Quan's golden-red eyes were reflected in her sky-blue eyes. She didn't know the reason why the ferocious beasts were lurking in the Star Dou Great Forest, she only knew that such a thing existed. Could it really be as this person in front of her said?
And how did he know this information? He then looked at the golden lion sitting cross-legged to the side. Was it because of this creature with the aura of an auspicious beast? But even an auspicious beast probably didn't have such an ability.

"Logically speaking, they don't need to hide, since even if a Soul Master breaks through to the Title Douluo level, they still can't absorb the Soul Rings of ferocious beasts."

"Still want to hunt ferocious beasts?" The Snow Emperor looked at the soul of the Titan Snow Demon. If it weren't for the heavenly tribulation, who could easily hunt it down? And in the far north, it also had many of its own kind.

"The one currently undergoing the divine succession has already reached level ninety-nine in cultivation, so hunting ferocious beasts is not difficult for her." Ding Quan was referring to Bibi Dong, whose strength is now definitely at level ninety-nine, because she will soon begin her Eight Trials of Rakshasa.

The eight trials of the Divine Trial should all involve completing the missing soul rings and soul bones of one's own martial soul, so that one can bear the divine power in the strongest physical state. Of course, there will also be necessary strength tests. The Sea God requires that one defeat the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the eighth trial, and Tang Chen will probably defeat the Nine-Headed Blood Red Bat.

However, the Angel God Test was an exception. Qian Renxue's God Test was completely lenient with Qian Daoliu, which is probably why her final strength was the weakest among the several who became gods. Even after becoming a god, she still managed to escape from Tang San, who was still a Title Douluo.

"Hmph!" The Snow Empress was not afraid of a level 99 expert, but it was different for a Divine Examiner. At her level, she could feel that the gods seemed very close, but were actually difficult to reach.

“Normally, if a Soul Master wants to absorb a ferocious beast's Soul Ring, there is almost no other way except to sacrifice like the Titan Snow Demon, but there are exceptions.”

"Twin Martial Souls?" Ling said. The others already knew the true identity of Xue Qinghe, whom Ding Quan had met in the Heavenly Dou Imperial City last time. According to Ding Quan, this information was obtained from that person.

"That's right, this inheritor of the divine position possesses twin martial souls, and one of them is not yet fully equipped with a spirit ring. With her current strength, she might even be able to absorb a spirit ring with a lifespan of 900,000 years." Bibi Dong's second martial soul is still missing a spirit ring, and she plans to use the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python from the Star Dou Great Forest. It remains to be seen whether the changed Tang San can once again intercept her.

Absorbing a spirit ring with a lifespan of 900,000 years might be possible for Bibi Dong, who has reached level 99 in spirit power and possesses a full set of spirit bones plus an external spirit bone. Tang San absorbed a torso bone and spirit ring with a lifespan of one million years when he was level 96, and Bibi Dong, who is already level 99 and whose spirit bones are not much inferior to Tang San's, should also be able to do it.

Could this be the reason why those ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have been lurking there? Is it because they sensed that someone could become a god during this period?

These people's talents were indeed unprecedented. They were only at the Soul Emperor level among Soul Masters, and their spiritual power had reached the level of 100,000 years.

Furthermore, the fact that she could move normally under the pressure of her nearly 100,000 years of soul power she released showed that the God of Slaughter's Domain was indeed something she dared not ignore.

Xue Di's gaze fell upon the Dark Gold Thunder Tiger martial spirit behind Wei'er, the Ice and Fire Illusion Lotus, and the sword.

The yin-yang symbol above is still slowly rotating.

And the golden lion beside it—let it stay in this far north a little longer; perhaps I still have a chance! Besides, I really should leave myself a way out.

Ding Quan suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness instantly.
