Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 203 Ice Sea
"Ha~"

The auspicious beast's expression turned cold: "Who do you think I am? There are no impossibilities about me!"

"Well…"

The Serpent King's imposing aura weakened instantly, and he stammered, "Um, um—since you are acquainted with this human, please plead for me and release me first..."

The light membrane enveloping her was truly bizarre; it was not only incredibly tough but also capable of sealing off all the power within, becoming stronger the more she struggled.

Within a minute of being wrapped, she was transformed into a turd-shaped living sculpture.

Unable to move, skills and soul power are silenced indefinitely, mental power is sealed, and stamina is persistently low...

'What is this thing?!'

Fear flashed in the Serpent Queen's eyes. Following her own whims to hunt down those two humans was arguably the most regrettable decision of her life.

"Let go?"

The auspicious beast tossed the black scales in its hand amidst the snake king's even more terrified gaze, a cold smile playing on its lips: "If I release you, what about the fact that I was also included in the attack targets before?"

"No, no... don't call me Di Tian!!"

The Serpent King let out a sharp, piercing cry, twisting its already exhausted body as it struggled violently: "Please... I'll do anything!"

Beast God.

Although this title wasn't widely recognized among the spirit beasts, no spirit beast dared to question Di Tian's strength. Even in an ocean teeming with ferocious beasts, there weren't many powerful beings who dared to challenge Di Tian.

With such a vast difference in strength, it's likely that the opponent could crush her life ten times over with a single strike from a distance.

"You can do everything?"

The auspicious beast let out a strange laugh under Huo Yuhao's complicated gaze: "I've heard that the Shadow Serpent has a fairly large clan, right?"

Since Professor Yi needs research materials, one is not enough.

Serve it all, pot and all!
In any case, these kinds of soul beasts always like to live in groups when they are weak and do not participate in any ecological cycle. Even if they are all sent into the undead demiplane, it will not affect the outside world.

The only one who might be unhappy is the Netherworld Cat, which comes to farm one or two Soul Rings every generation.

"this…!"

Inside the temporary tower erected by the undead army, Old Yi, who was organizing documents, turned around in surprise and stared blankly at the flood of snake shadows pouring out like a torrent.

The vast, desolate tower was instantly filled with a third of thousands of snakes roaming about, their buzzing and hissing filling the air, before finally falling silent with a furious shout:
"What's all this noise about!"

A massive serpentine shadow emerged from the Gate of the Dead, carefully avoiding the chandelier, and bowed its head to Elder Yi: "You must be that old gentleman? So many clansmen... surely that's enough?"

That's enough...

Elder Yi surveyed the entire race with a complex expression, finally letting out a helpless sigh: "Very well. If we can use this opportunity to enrich the demiplane, we might even be able to find a way to upgrade the world."

Although there was no evidence, he just felt that such a ruthless and terrible idea was unlikely to have come from his own apprentice.

'That auspicious beast is quite interesting...it also has impressive attributes and talents. Could she be a magical genius too?'

Old Yi tapped the scroll in his hand with a strange look in his eyes: "Perhaps, it's not such a bad thing that these two are entangled..."

……

"Will Old Man Yi really be happy?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the swamp that had been emptied in one go, feeling a bit uncertain: "What if I mess it up..." "Hey~ Trust me! He'll happily accept whatever you give him. Since that's the case, why not give him a lot at once?"

The auspicious beast patted his shoulder heavily. Although she was equally uncertain, her worries were quite different from Huo Yuhao's.

"Will Old Master Yi's impression of me improve?"

"That should be fine, right?"

As its emotions fluctuated, the mythical beast bit its nails in frustration: "But, what if he thinks I'm a thief who steals knowledge..."

Hey! What are you thinking about?

Huo Yuhao waved his hand in front of her, and seeing that she didn't react, he threw out two streams of spiritual energy to sweep across her mental sea: "What are you spacing out for?"

"Ah~"

Startled by the two beams of warm light, the auspicious beast immediately pounded his shoulder with its fists, yelling, "You lecher! You lecher!"

I don't know if it's because Huo Yuhao has gotten used to mentally battling with the auspicious beast, but now he can't help but tease her with his mental power.

"Alright... what are your plans now? Leave Xingdou, or continue cultivating here?"

Huo Yuhao spoke helplessly. Although his voice was blasted by the other party, he did not suffer any real damage.

Now, his physical body is far superior to that of metal.

"Hmph~ Nonsense!"

The mythical beast raised its eyebrows and delivered a final, powerful punch, sending shockwaves through Huo Yuhao's body like the tolling of a bell: "I stayed here every day before the sixth ring, and I'll continue to stay here after the sixth ring?"

Then all her hard work in cultivation during this period would have been for nothing!

"That's true... Anyway, you don't need to worry about your safety now."

Huo Yuhao sighed.

He knew exactly how many life-saving items the other person possessed. It was no exaggeration to say that if the two of them were to die together, Huo Yuhao would be the first to perish.

'So, such a thing actually exists on the Douluo Continent?'

The mere thought of a certain aura from the other person's memories made Huo Yuhao's teeth ache. The waters of this world were far deeper than he had imagined.

"In that case, let's set off!"

……

"The Ice Sea is situated between the Sun and Moon Empires and the Heavenly Soul Empire, roughly to the west of the Heavenly Soul Empire's northern border and to the north of the Sun and Moon Empire. Although its area is several times smaller than the far north, the number of soul beast species within it is many times greater."

"After surviving the last major calamity, I went to the icy sea again, hoping to find a way to repair the wounds and restore my vitality, but unfortunately I returned empty-handed."

Snow Empress lightly waved her hand, releasing her power and further expanding the spiritual island, shaping a miniature landscape of the Douluo Continent. She stood personally in the far north, a place she knew best, and pointed to the sea before her:
"In terms of high-end combat power, sea spirit beasts are naturally inferior to land-based ones. Di Tian alone is a peak that they can never surpass, and can be called the spirit beast that is closest to a god in this world."

"But in terms of total number, the number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts in this vast ocean is probably several times that on land, and there are countless beings that are close to the limit of their cultivation. Within the Ice Sea alone, there are four beings whose cultivation is close to 500,000 years."

"so much!"

Compared to Huo Yuhao, the auspicious beast that was listening in beside Xue Di reacted even more strongly, its disbelief overflowing.

She had personally experienced how prosperous the Star Dou Great Forest was. Even if there was only one ten-thousand-year-old soul beast a day, it would be enough for her to devour until the great calamity arrived. However, compared to the ocean, this abundance seemed pitifully barren.
