Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 507 Ascending to the Throne as King of the Far North!

"Senior, I plan to hunt down the last 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Xuanming Land, take its soul ring and soul bone, and then leave the far north for a while. Please lead the way!" Han Feng said matter-of-factly.

Since it was something that had been agreed upon long ago, Han Feng didn't intend to beat around the bush with Xue Di.

Han Feng had already had enough of the far north. According to the original story, Tang Sanhao would stay on Seagod Island for more than a year, and Bibi Dong would establish the Spirit Empire even earlier. With these additions and subtractions, Han Feng didn't have much time to waste. Han Feng only planned to spend two months on the last spirit beast, one month to absorb the spirit ring and one month to practice. Naturally, he didn't want to wait any longer.

But to Han Feng's surprise, when Xue Di heard Han Feng's words, her expression changed, as if she had something difficult to say!

Noticing the change in Xue Di's expression, Han Feng frowned.

"Senior?" Han Feng's eyes were slightly swollen, and he said with a hint of reminder, "Senior, you should know that even if you extracted all the dragon bloodline from the Frost Dragon Butterfly, you still couldn't save a soul beast with a higher cultivation level than the Frost Dragon Butterfly!"

"I know that." Xue Di nodded, indicating that she understood.

After thinking for a moment, Han Feng asked, "Could it be that the last soul beast was also a friend of yours, senior?"

The last time the Snow Empress showed this expression was when Han Feng was hunting the Snow Demon. The Snow Demon was once a good friend of the Snow Empress, so Han Feng naturally connected the two.

But Xue Di shook her head again, saying with a complicated expression, "That last person did take good care of me, but she was definitely not my friend; she was more like an elder!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng pondered for a moment—there wasn't much difference between elders and friends; they were all people the Snow Empress cared about.

"I understand. I will try my best to give him a peaceful death!" Han Feng nodded and said.

Han Feng didn't dare to make any guarantees. After all, according to the Snow Emperor, this last soul beast was quite powerful, at least several times stronger than the Frost Dragon Butterfly. No matter how confident Han Feng was, he didn't dare to say that he could send it off as easily as he had dealt with the Snow Demon.

But Xue Di shook her head again and said, "You misunderstood, that's not what I meant!"

"Hmm?" Han Feng was even more puzzled. He stopped guessing and instead turned his questioning gaze to Xue Di.

Xue Di also looked at Han Feng and gave her answer, word by word: "If you want to hunt down the seventh spirit ring alone, then fight me first!"

Based on Xue Di's understanding of Han Feng, Han Feng would definitely not ask Xue Di for help, but even Xue Di herself was not very confident in facing that last soul beast—at least in a place like the Xuanming Land, Xue Di was no match for that soul beast!

If Han Feng didn't have absolute strength, Xue Di might not have been able to take him away from the other party as she had before!

Han Feng didn't misunderstand Xue Di's meaning. He blinked and understood immediately, then asked hesitantly, "Was that last soul beast very strong?"

"Hmm!" Xue Di nodded.

To be honest, Han Feng was somewhat skeptical. After all, the Xuanming Land had always been under the Snow Emperor's control. For tens of thousands of years, not a single soul beast had broken out of the Xuanming Land, which was enough to prove a lot. When the Ice God descended before, the entire Xuanming Land was in turmoil, but in the end, it was still suppressed by the Snow Emperor. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any existence in the Xuanming Land that the Snow Emperor should be afraid of!

Otherwise, the Xuanming Land would have been out of control long ago!

Seemingly sensing the meaning on Han Feng's face, Xue Di explained seriously, "I don't have the ability to suppress him in the Xuanming Land. In fact, many riots in the Xuanming Land were only quelled because of his intervention!"

"He's very powerful and can absorb Xuanming energy without restraint. If you're not strong enough, we'd better join forces!"

Han Feng hadn't considered joining forces with Xue Di; instead, he grasped the key point in Xue Di's words and asked in surprise, "That last soul beast didn't lose its mind!?"

Xue Di was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Han Feng to have guessed this.

"That's right!" Xue Di didn't hide anything and nodded in agreement.

Han Feng, however, was full of questions and asked, "Why?"

Judging from Xue Di's attitude towards the Xuanming Land, if there are rational soul beasts, they should be protected or utilized, just like the Frost Dragon Butterfly. So why would she take Han Feng to hunt it down?

If that soul beast truly hadn't lost its mind, the Snow Empress shouldn't be at a loss regarding the problems of the Xuanming Land!

Furthermore, if she already possessed a spirit beast that hadn't lost its mind, the Snow Empress shouldn't have been so surprised when she learned that the Frost Dragon Butterfly had regained its senses!

Although Han Feng only asked three words, Xue Di understood what he wanted to ask. Her expression became complex and profound. She sighed and slowly said, "It's no use. He hasn't lost his mind, but he's different from the Frost Dragon Butterfly. He hasn't escaped the influence of the Xuanming aura. In fact, the Xuanming aura on his body is more concentrated than any soul beast from the Xuanming Land!"

"The Xuanming aura emanating from him is far too intense, making it impossible for him to leave the Xuanming Land!"

"He was simply relying on his powerful cultivation and unwavering will to constantly battle the violence and madness within him!"

"It's a vicious cycle. Although he retains his rationality, to maintain his dwindling rationality, he must constantly absorb Xuanming energy to improve his cultivation. But the more he absorbs, the weaker his will becomes. Sooner or later, he will lose his rationality and turn into a beast, just like the other soul beasts!"

"By then, even I might not be able to stop him!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not offer any explanation.

In fact, the situation of the Frost Dragon Butterfly is not much different from that of the soul beast mentioned by the Snow Emperor. The Frost Dragon Butterfly has not gotten rid of the Xuanming aura, but rather it has become immune to it. The Xuanming aura on its body is not weak either!

However, this was still too cruel for Xue Di, and Han Feng was too embarrassed to let Xue Di's only hope be shattered.

But if it's really as Xue Di said, then that soul beast is far too powerful!

Even Han Feng had to admire the fact that the Xuanming aura could withstand the erosion with the power of one's own cultivation and will!

Xue Di doesn't know, but doesn't Han Feng know?!

The Xuanming aura is actually a diluted version of the Dragon God's resentment!

Sadly, maintaining consciousness is only temporary. Sooner or later, the soul's cultivation and will will be unable to withstand the erosion of the dragon god's resentment, and it will eventually lose its mind, becoming a disaster for the Xuanming Land and even the entire far north!

"Does that soul beast also have dragon blood?" Although he knew it was unlikely, Han Feng still asked tentatively.

Snow Empress naturally understood what Han Feng meant. She shook her head and said, "He doesn't have dragon blood! He is the former king of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, Bing'er's father, and the previous king of the Far North!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng was also shocked!

These titles all proclaim the power of their owners!

The "Bing'er" mentioned by Xue Di is naturally Bing Di. The current Bing Di has 300,000 years of cultivation, and as Bing Di's father, his cultivation is probably no less than that!

The Snow Empress also said that even in the Xuanming Land, that soul beast never slacked off in its cultivation. In addition, according to the Frost Dragon Butterfly, the previous King of the Far North suddenly disappeared more than 17,000 years ago. More than 17,000 years of diligent training is probably not much different from the Snow Empress in front of us!

No wonder the Snow Empress said that even in the Xuanming Land, she couldn't suppress that soul beast!

"What is his cultivation level?" Han Feng clicked his tongue and asked again.

It would be impossible to say that Han Feng was afraid; in fact, he was even eager to try!

Han Feng never expected that the last soul beast in the Xuanming Land, as mentioned by the Snow Emperor, would have such a background!

"Six hundred thousand years of cultivation!" Snow Emperor replied in a deep voice.

As Xue Di finished speaking, Han Feng involuntarily narrowed his eyes!

With 600,000 years of cultivation, the Ice Jade Scorpion King possesses the ultimate ice attribute. He can absorb Xuanming aura while maintaining his rationality, and his combat power decreases rather than increases in the Xuanming Land!

No wonder the Snow Empress demanded that Han Feng fight her first!

Even though Han Feng's strength has increased several levels recently, he has to admit that this is a formidable opponent!
