Chapter 442 Soul Ring Imprinting - Snow Empress! [Bonus Chapter]

Outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, a strange light flashed in Chen Hong's eyes, but he still chose to press his forehead against the Snow Emperor's forehead.

Chen Hong: Please post this!

Snow Emperor:.

Xue Di looked at Chen Hong, who was pressing his forehead against hers, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her opal-like eyes. But in the end, she chose to close her eyes. When a warm sensation touched her forehead, Xue Di's body couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

Unlike the Ice Emperor, the Snow Emperor's true form is human. For nearly 100,000 years, she has never felt anything hot, except for Chen Hong's forehead.

However, when facing a soul beast whose realm far surpasses his own, Chen Hong had no choice but to resort to this forehead-to-forehead contact. He needed to "bridge" the spiritual will between the two, and forehead-to-forehead contact was the most reliable and convenient way to do so, especially when facing a soul beast whose realm far surpasses his own.

If it were an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, Chen Hong could press his finger against its forehead and forcefully compel it to imprint its soul ring with an unquestionable aura of superiority, maintaining control throughout the process.

However, Snow Emperor is a super ferocious beast that is several times more powerful than Ice Emperor. Even though Chen Hong himself felt that this close contact was a bit strange, he still had to use this more reliable method.

(Evil Eye Tyrant: I want to stick with it too!)

(Chen Hong: If you take one more step, I'll poke your big eyeballs!)

hum~

As Chen Hong and Xue Di's foreheads touched, the Martial Soul Flower behind Chen Hong bloomed automatically, and a magnificent set of ice and snow attire materialized on Xue Di's body. Their spiritual wills were instantly connected. However, compared to the large-scale energy leakage that occurred when Chen Hong touched Xue Di's forehead before, the touch between Chen Hong and Xue Di did not cause much change in the environment. On the contrary, there was an unnatural silence.

"Her strength is truly terrifying. Just a slight glimpse of her aura sent a chill down my spine!" While Chen Hong and Xue Di were imprinting their spirit rings, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly spoke to Qian Daoliu beside him, and Dugu Bo nodded frantically in agreement. Bing Di merely glanced at the three whispering figures and said nothing.

"It's alright. Once you cultivate to level 99, master the second-tier form of your Soul Rings, and complete the condensation of your Soul Cores, you'll have a chance to face the Snow Emperor directly." Qian Daoliu was quite confident in himself and his companions. Aside from the initial shock he felt when he first saw the Snow Emperor, as his cultivation and strength continued to improve, he gradually became able to assess the gap between himself and the Snow Emperor.

In theory, once Qian Daoliu completes the condensation of his soul core (a transformation in the quality of his soul power) and masters the second-tier or even third-tier form of his soul ring (a transformation in his techniques), he will be able to stand on the same level as Xue Di, becoming truly "invincible below the gods, one for one with any divine official." Only a divine official with a divine position, divine artifacts, and divine armor—a "triple-power" divine official—would be confident of defeating Qian Daoliu in this state without injury.

"Hmph! How arrogant!" Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor glared coldly at Qian Daoliu and the others. Her attitude towards Chen Hong had softened considerably, but that didn't mean her attitude towards humans would be any better, especially since this group was still speaking ill of her Xue'er.

Upon hearing Ice Emperor's cold snort, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. They looked at Ice Emperor with lingering fear and then squeezed behind Qian Daoliu.

"Sigh," Qian Daoliu sighed softly, his eyes flickering as he looked at Bingdi's sour face. "Your Excellency Bingdi may not know, but the foundation of the Soul Master system is rapidly improving. It is estimated that within the next ten years, Title Douluos will be able to defeat 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts head-on, something unimaginable in the past. Super Douluos above level 95 will be able to fight against ferocious beasts exceeding 100,000 years in age. As for the peak Douluo of level 99, that is, me, within the next ten years, I will complete the transformation of my Soul Power and techniques. I will even be able to possess a level 10 Soul Tool that peak Douluos can use. In this state, Your Excellency Bingdi may no longer be a match for me."

"If Your Majesty the Ice Emperor does not believe me, we are ready to spar at any time."

"The perfection of the Soul Ring theory has changed the situation where humans and Soul Beasts had to fight to the death. Why does Your Majesty the Ice Emperor still hold such a high and mighty attitude? Even the Snow Emperor, who is more powerful than you, has chosen to humbly accept the new knowledge circulating in the Soul Master world and actively participate in the development of the world." Qian Daoliu gave the Ice Emperor a long and earnest lecture, which made the Ice Emperor's head spin.

"Hmph!" Left with no other choice, Hyotei could only let out a cold snort, interrupting Sendou Ryu's incessant chatter, and then fell silent. In this world, she felt like anyone could shit on her head; normally, she was the one shitting on others' heads.

Hmm... why does it feel a little strange when a scorpion poops?

Just as Hyotei's thoughts were racing and her expression was constantly changing, Qian Daoliu simply smiled and looked up at Chen Hong and Xue Di, who were 'quietly' imprinting their soul rings not far away.

In recent years, Qian Daoliu's attitude towards soul beasts has undergone a complete transformation.

Chen Hong in front of us is a living example. He has proven with his own actions that soul beasts are still the best training aid for soul masters.

Qian Daoliu himself is already level 99 and no longer needs a soul beast's soul ring, but he still has a granddaughter with the cultivation of a Soul Saint at home.

Building better relationships with these super-fierce beasts now will make things much easier when it comes to helping his granddaughter with her eighth and ninth spirit rings in the future, won't it? Then, combined with the Angelic God Trial, Qian Renxue has a chance to reach the level of a Limit Douluo, like Bibi Dong, in a short time. The divinely bestowed spirit rings in the God Trial are generally only at the ordinary 100,000-year level, a significant difference compared to the 400,000-500,000-year beast spirit rings. (Traditional theory holds that only a spirit master with a ninth spirit ring can withstand the impact of a 100,000-year spirit ring; Chen Hong overturned this understanding with his sacrificial spirit ring.)

In their spiritual sea, Chen Hong and Xue Di stood on the spiritual bridge, their backs to a golden ocean and a white ocean respectively, silently gazing at each other.

"The Snow Emperor is much wiser than I expected," Chen Hong said earnestly, looking into the Snow Emperor's eyes.

The Snow Empress shook her head: "Just call me Xue'er. They have already prepared the celestial patterns for my path, which embody the wisdom of an era and cannot be wasted."

"You also need my spirit ring; it will help your subsequent integration plan, won't it?"

Chen Hong smiled and extended his hand to Xue Di: "There's new activity on the ocean side. I need to go there. If I succeed, I'll have the power to open up the world."

"Let's get to know each other again, Chen Hong."

Xue Di also reached out her hand, and across the spiritual bridge, their hands clasped tightly together.

"Snow Woman".

"In ancient times, you could never understand how fanatical those first humans were about their soul beast ancestors."

"Their collective wisdom and fervor caused the dragons to overlook the insignificance and frailty of the individual dragons."

"They are a truly intelligent race, a naturally intelligent race."

When they realized they had no hope of becoming gods, they turned their attention entirely to their progenitor of soul beasts.

"Solving problems and paving the way to God, fervent faith. It's hard to imagine that mortals could use their wisdom to access the forbidden knowledge of God."

"And this is one of the reasons why humanity suffered a severe civilizational gap after the emergence of soul beasts."

"Because they are the most orthodox inheritors of the Soul Beast Civilization."
