Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 321 Qing'er is about to take flight

The greeting gifts had already been given, and everyone had become familiar with each other. The ferocious beasts then went their separate ways. They were old hands who had known each other for countless years and had no time to get together and play mahjong.

When neither Lin Yun nor Di Tian actively gathered them together, they all lived their own lives.

"Your Majesty, I need to return to the far north." After the other ferocious beasts had left, the Ice Emperor suddenly spoke to Lin Yun.

"Huh? Why?" Lin Yun looked at Hyotei with a puzzled expression.

"Because this little guy is about to reach 100,000 years." Ice Emperor raised Qing'er hanging on his tail, with a smile of helplessness and joy on his face. "The 100,000-year mark for a soul beast is very important. Passing through this mark will cause a soul beast to undergo earth-shattering changes."

"To put it more specifically, it's an evolution of bloodline. Even among soul beasts of the same species, those over 100,000 years old and those under 100,000 years old can be considered two completely different soul beasts. Although the Star Dou Great Forest is indeed relatively safe, the most suitable environment for the evolution of our Ice Jade Scorpion is still the extremely low temperature of the far north. Only in the far north can Qing'er's ice attribute undergo the greatest transformation."

"Ten thousand years...so fast?" Lin Yun didn't really listen to what the Ice Emperor said, but he knew that soul beasts would change at the ten thousand-year level.

Even a weakling like the Soft Bone Rabbit, after breaking through the 100,000-year level, can be compared to the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape in the Douluo Continent universe. Although this may be due to some forced cheating and patching by a certain author, it also shows how important the 100,000-year level is for soul beasts.

Compared to this, Lin Yun was more concerned about Qing'er's cultivation level.

He only knew that he had fed it a lot of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, but at most five pieces. How could such a small amount of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow have caused Qing'er to soar from three thousand years to one hundred thousand years?

Hyotei and Yukitei exchanged a glance, then shrugged and spread their hands.

"Your Majesty, you are underestimating the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Its effects are immense, even for me and Bing'er. The energy contained in each strand of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is extremely vast and pure," the Snow Emperor explained earnestly.

Ice Emperor nodded in agreement: "Yes, Your Majesty. Our Ice Jade Scorpion clan already has a very high life level. Moreover, this little guy has consumed the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, which is most suitable for our ice attribute soul beasts. Although it has not yet officially broken through the 100,000-year level, the undigested energy is enough for it to break through the first Heavenly Tribulation after it breaks through the 100,000-year level."

The classification of 100,000-year-old soul beasts is quite interesting.

Once a soul beast reaches the 100,000-year level, it is comparable to a human titled Douluo. Relying on the strength of its own race, its combat power will fluctuate between level 91 and 94.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast at this level still has several thousand years to choose whether to face the first heavenly tribulation after 100,000 years or to transform into a human.

Once they survive the Heavenly Tribulation, any soul beast can possess the strength of a level 95 Super Douluo, but in doing so, they will no longer be able to transform into human form.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast that has not survived the Heavenly Tribulation will have a pure red soul ring, such as Zhang Lexuan's eighth soul ring. However, a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has survived the Heavenly Tribulation will have an additional golden pattern on its soul ring.

Each time a 100,000-year tribulation is overcome, a golden pattern will appear on the soul ring.

Ten thousand years (without heavenly tribulation) - Titles 91-94.

Ten thousand years (one celestial tribulation) - Title 95.

Two hundred thousand years - Level 96 title.

Three hundred thousand years - Level 97 title.

Like Ice Emperor, back in 390,000 years ago, she was equivalent to level 97 humans, which was clearly stated in the original work. It was only because of Ice Jade Scorpion's own strength, coupled with the natural advantages of extreme ice and the far north, that she was able to have the strength to crush Xuanzi.

Now, at 40 years old, she is comparable to a level 98 Title Douluo. With the advantages of her attributes and soul beast body, she can fight Long Xiaoyao one-on-one without being at a disadvantage. However, the lack of a soul core makes her endurance not as strong as Long Xiaoyao, a true Limit Douluo.

Returning to Qing'er, once she returns from her tribulation in the far north, she will become the Ice Jade Scorpion King, having survived one heavenly tribulation. Compared to a level 95 Super Douluo, her actual combat power at level 96 will be virtually invincible.

Once Qing'er gets used to the surge in power, she can easily defeat Yan Shaozhe. This time when she returned, the Ice Emperor probably gave Qing'er some special training; otherwise, Qing'er would likely become another Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, possessing strength but not knowing how to use it.

After all, it hasn't fought many battles.

Regardless, with just five strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, in less than five years, Qing'er's strength soared from the three-thousand-year level of a human Soul Master to level ninety-five, instantly impressing Lin Yunyu.

This guy's cheating is even more outrageous than his.

It's taking off in a straight line!

No wonder the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was able to grow into a million-year-old soul beast just by consuming the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. I'm sorry, Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, I shouldn't have put you together with the Energy Amethyst!

Compared to your Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow, Energy Amethyst is nothing!

Looking at the two people and the scorpion in front of him, Lin Yun looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his mood extremely complicated. He had clearly obtained the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow himself, but he hadn't gotten any benefit from it at all.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that the two people and the scorpion in front of me were either my woman or my pet, and that sense of disparity disappeared instantly.

The Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, and Qing'er have truly helped him a lot, and they will only help him more in the future. Even if these Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows are considered as investments, Lin Yun has already made a fortune. Moreover, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows are not even as useful to him as immortal herbs. Immortal herbs can temper his physique, while the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows are purely used to boost his soul power through cramming.

If he really consumed all forty-five strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, he could certainly take off directly, but his time manipulation ability would not be developed, the Sun True Scripture would be gone, and he could forget about his Qi, Blood, Soul Core, and self-created Soul Skills.

These are all important cornerstones in his journey to forge his own path.

There are gains and losses.

Although he lost the way to quickly increase his soul power, he gained two beautiful wives and a pet scorpion with explosive combat power!

"There are still six or seven pieces of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow at Ditian's place. Take them with you when you leave. Try to help Qing'er break through two hundred thousand years as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be quite inconvenient if she can't transform into human form." Lin Yun said with a smile, and casually pulled the two Ice and Snow Emperors into his arms and kissed each of them on their red lips.

Kiss me hard!

Hmm~ It feels like I made it all back in one go.

"Ah... Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate?" Hyotei stammered.

Unlike the Snow Empress's shyness after being kissed, the Ice Empress was already used to Lin Yun's occasional closeness to her and didn't feel much about it. On the contrary, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Lin Yun to give her all the remaining Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Even the Ice Emperor himself believed that the preciousness of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was unimaginable. Such a good thing should be kept for emergencies. Anyway, with Qing'er's Ice Jade Scorpion body, plus five Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows to lay the foundation for her, she would be able to rival the current Ice Emperor in the future. Taking more Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow would not have much effect.

Its role is more like Lin Yun's—purely force-feeding energy.

That's such a waste. It would be better to use it when facing a heavenly tribulation, or save it for emergencies.

"You're going to be my queen in the future, so how can the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan not have a next clan leader?" Lin Yun raised an eyebrow at the Ice Emperor. "It doesn't matter if Xue'er doesn't have a clan, you have your own race behind you, so you should think more about your people."

As for using it when undergoing heavenly tribulation?

It can only be said that Ice Emperor's thinking is still rigid. Once Lin Yun conquers the God Realm, the entire Soul Beast Clan will be able to ascend to heaven. At that time, what's the point of the Heavenly Tribulation?
