Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 512 The Six Hundred Thousand Years-Old Ice Jade Scorpion King!

Although her body was weak and her soul power was exhausted, the Snow Empress disliked the warm snow water even more. After hesitating for a while, she struggled to leap out of the water.

After all, Xue Di was an ice and snow elf, the absolute darling of the far north. In the core area of ​​the far north, she recovered even faster than Han Feng, who was in better condition. In less than a quarter of an hour, Xue Di had fully recovered her soul power. On the other hand, Han Feng was still struggling to regulate his breathing and sit cross-legged. He didn't know if it was Han Feng's imagination, but he always felt that this world was rejecting him, which made his recovery efficiency much slower!

If Xue Di knew what Han Feng was thinking, she would definitely tell him that it was not his imagination!

The place where Han Feng and Xue Di fought and sparred was not far from the cave where Xue Di was born. If Xue Di was their child to the entire far north, then Xue Di was their biological child to this world!

Han Feng beat up Xue Di right in front of them, no wonder they wouldn't give him a good look!

Seeing that Han Feng was still recuperating, Xue Di did not disturb him. She did not take the matter of losing to Han Feng to heart.

The Snow Empress had already prepared for this, and she wouldn't be discouraged by losing to a mere successor of the Three Gods!

Taking advantage of Han Feng's moment of respite, Xue Di unleashed several streams of extremely cold light, which merged into this world, dispersing much of the heat left behind by Han Feng.

Of course, it's impossible to resolve everything at once. Han Feng's True Sun Fire is extremely yang and hot, making it one of the most powerful and domineering flames in the world. The Snow Emperor only dispersed the heat on the surface; a considerable amount of heat remains hidden within the ice layer. To completely erase the impact of this battle on this world would be a long and arduous process, taking at least three to five years to complete.

What troubled the Snow Emperor the most was the hot spring formed by the calamity of the great sun!

The snow water was infused with the power of the sun's true fire. Simply lowering the temperature wouldn't change anything, but the extreme fire was a power that the Snow Emperor had never encountered before, leaving her helpless for the first time.

Left with no other choice, the Snow Emperor erected six ice pillars outside the snowmelt hot spring, creating a barrier to seal it away.

Admittedly, Xue Di could ask Han Feng for help, but firstly, Xue Di didn't want to do so, and secondly, Han Feng seemed indifferent, so she had no choice but to give up.

It took Han Feng half an hour to fully recover, but neither Xue Di nor Han Feng was in a hurry to go to the Xuanming Land.

After all, they have only recovered their soul power. Their energy depletion cannot be recovered in just half an hour. They need to rest for at least another night to show respect for the 600,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion King and the previous King of the Far North!

This is what the two of them did.

The next day, Han Feng woke up from his meditation, only to find Xue Di already waiting for him. Han Feng nodded to Xue Di and came to her side. Xue Di understood and placed her jade hand on Han Feng's shoulder. The next moment, the two of them had arrived in the Xuanming Land.

The moment his body landed, Han Feng clearly sensed the difference in this world!

The Dragon God's resentment permeated the entire Xuanming Land, but it was particularly dense here, so dense that even Han Feng felt suffocated!

In addition, the environment here is extremely harsh. There is no sunlight at all, it is gray and dark, the sky is full of wind and snow, and the fierce cold wind blows, making a series of muffled, ghostly howls, as if steel knives are cutting through. The temperature is even three points lower than that of the core area of ​​the far north!

Han Feng couldn't help but frown.

Even the Snow Empress frowned – the Xuanming aura here was much stronger than when she last came!

This means that the Ice Jade Scorpion King's situation is even more dangerous!

"Is that Xiaoxue?" At that moment, a deep and steady voice rang out from the snow below.

The voice was like that of an old man on his deathbed, weak yet somehow full of vigor, which was distorted!

Upon hearing this voice, Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief.

This at least proves that the Ice Jade Scorpion King has not lost his mind.

At the Snow Empress's signal, Han Feng slowly descended with her, eventually landing in front of a small snowdrift covered by snow. Although it looked like just a small snowdrift, Han Feng was absolutely certain that the Ice Jade Scorpion King was under this snowdrift. From this small snowdrift, Han Feng sensed a hidden but powerful force, far stronger than the Frost Dragon Butterfly and Titan Snow Ape he had encountered before!

And indeed, that was the case. The Snow Empress took a deep breath and respectfully greeted, "Elder Ice!"

Han Feng stood to the side, calm and composed, without saying a word.

Even if we know that the Ice Jade Scorpion King is right in front of us, what can we do?

Han Feng is neither an Ice Jade Scorpion nor a soul beast from the far north. He has never even seen the face of the Ice Jade Scorpion King, so there is no question of respect or closeness. Moreover, Han Feng's purpose in coming here is to hunt down the Ice Jade Scorpion King!

Han Feng has no ulterior motives, so he has no intention of getting close to the Ice Jade Scorpion King.

"Haha!" Upon hearing the Snow Emperor's voice, a series of hearty and resolute laughs came from beneath the small snowdrift. The thick snow pile was shaken off, revealing a pair of enormous claws. Then, another joyful voice rang out: "Why be so formal! Now you are the King of the Far North, while I am merely an old codger clinging to life!"

As the sound rang out, the snow was completely shaken off, and a jade-green scorpion over two meters long appeared in front of Han Feng and Xue Di.

At this moment, Han Feng also saw the true form of the Ice Jade Scorpion King!

The first thing you see is its pair of enormous pincers, which take up almost half of its body size. Each pincer is over a meter long. The entire body is only two colors: one is a translucent silver-white like ice crystals, and the other is a magnificent emerald green like green gemstones. If it weren't for the imposing aura emanating from this Ice Jade Scorpion, Han Feng might even mistake it for an exquisite work of art!

Six layers of silver-white exoskeleton, symbolizing cultivation level, were stacked on the front half of the Ice Jade Scorpion's body, symbolizing his powerful cultivation of 600,000 years!

A hexagonal ice crystal was embedded in the back of the Ice Jade Scorpion, and its emerald green tail was a full 1.5 meters long—this was definitely not its limit. Looking at the joints that were contracting one by one, Han Feng suspected that if the Ice Jade Scorpion wanted to, this tail could strangle all enemies within a radius of five or even ten meters!

If we only consider size, the Ice Jade Scorpion is not even ranked among the top soul beasts; it would be at the very bottom. With 600,000 years of cultivation, it is only two meters tall, not even as big as a toe of the Titan Snow Ape with 200,000 years of cultivation!

However, any Soul Master or Soul Beast who underestimates the Ice Jade Scorpion because of this will pay a heavy price!

Soul beasts like the Frost Dragon Butterfly and Titan Snow Ape are undeniably powerful, their massive, sky-covering bodies a testament to their strength. However, the Ice Jade Scorpion's power is more restrained and subtle. Its body, barely larger than a human, doesn't pose much of a threat. Yet, in terms of strength, attributes, and soul power, it is among the best in the entire far north!

Otherwise, this Ice Jade Scorpion could not have become the King of the Far North!

Even his daughter, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, became the Ice Emperor, one of the Three Kings of the Far North!

Although the Ice Jade Scorpion is a scorpion, it does not possess the deadly venom that most scorpion-type soul beasts have. This does not mean that they are not powerful; on the contrary, it is precisely because they are too powerful that they do not need the protection of deadly venom!

"Propriety must not be disregarded! If it weren't for Elder Bing's help, I would have died in the third Heavenly Tribulation long ago!" Xue Di disagreed with Bing Bi Xie's words and still spoke respectfully.

Ice Jade Scorpion, unable to withstand Snow Emperor's stubbornness, sighed helplessly and said, "Fine! I can't argue with you!"

Upon seeing the Snow Emperor, the Ice Jade Scorpion appeared quite pleased, showing none of the domineering king of the far north that one might expect. This was understandable; for a rational being to remain in the dark and sunless Xuanming Land for seventeen thousand years, the Ice Jade Scorpion's ability to maintain an optimistic attitude already demonstrated its strong will. As for any kingly demeanor, it had long since been forgotten.

"Little Xue! How is Bing'er doing lately? Has she caused you any trouble?" Bing Bixie asked Xue Di with concern again.

The "Bing'er" mentioned by Bingbi Scorpion is naturally Bingbi Emperor Scorpion. It's understandable for an old father to care about his daughter.

The Snow Empress smiled slightly and readily replied, "Bing'er is doing very well!"

But Ice Jade Scorpion seemed somewhat disbelieving, glancing hesitantly at Snow Empress before stammering, "Little Snow! Don't lie to this old man!"

"I know what kind of girl Bing'er is!" Bing Bixie said with a self-aware air, her tone a mix of affection and nostalgia, "Bing'er is just like me! Her actions are too extreme; she never leaves herself a way out, and she's always driven by emotions!"

"Alas!" As she spoke, Ice Jade Scorpion sighed again, saying with regret, "It's a pity that I was reckless back then, ignoring your advice and insisting on my own way, risking my life to absorb the Xuanming aura, and ultimately ending up in this state!"

"Otherwise, I would definitely teach that girl a lesson!"

"By the way! You haven't told Bing'er about what happened to me, have you?!"

Xue Di had answered this question countless times, yet she showed no sign of weariness, patiently replying once more, "No! According to Elder Bing, you fought against six 100,000-year-old soul beasts while suppressing the riots in the Xuanming Land, ultimately succumbing to exhaustion and dying without a trace!"

"Hahaha!" Ice Jade Scorpion was clearly extremely satisfied with Snow Empress's answer, laughing loudly, "Excellent! No matter how many times I hear it, I love this answer!"

"That's right! I will die from exhaustion! Even in death, I will stand tall and proud! I don't want to be seen as a coward defeated by the Xuanming aura in Bing'er's eyes!"

"And Little Xue, do you know what I like most about what you say?!" Ice Jade Scorpion didn't need the Snow Emperor's answer and quickly laughed, "It's those four words: 'no trace of your remains'!"

"No trace of my remains! No one can prove my innocence! That heartless girl Bing'er ran all the way to the Xuanming Land to find my so-called remains!"

Xue Di seemed unfazed, listening quietly without interrupting.
