Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

It was also the only spirit beast present so far that dared to greet the Snow Empress. While greeting her, it glanced at the Ice Bear King, who was lying prostrate beside the Snow Empress, its eyes clearly showing a hint of jealousy.

"Atai, long time no see." The Ice and Snow Maiden greeted Titan Snow Demon King, then glanced in a special direction. This place should have been the position of the number two figure in the far north ice plains, but at this moment, there were only a few Ice Jade Scorpions representing him.

The Ice Jade Scorpion is an extremely powerful soul beast from the far north. They are a vast species, and among them, powerful individuals with cultivation exceeding 100,000 years belong to the emperor among insect soul beasts, namely the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

The Snow Empress looked around, her gaze sweeping over the numerous soul beasts, before sighing and saying, "Bing'er is in trouble. Atai, I heard that it was your Titan Snow Demon Clan that first discovered this."

Chapter 361 King of the Far North

"Snow, Snow Empress, it was indeed my people who discovered this first. They found out that humans had invaded the far north, and went to stop them but were defeated..." Inside the core of the far north ice plains, the Titan Snow Demon King hurriedly spoke after hearing the Snow Empress's question, preparing to tell her everything he knew.

"Atai, don't rush, speak slowly." Xue Di didn't seem to be in a hurry. Although she was quite angry about Bing Di's accident, she also knew that anger wouldn't solve anything. At this time, she still needed to figure out the cause and effect, which would be more conducive to resolving the matter.

"Yes." Titan Snow Demon King happily agreed, scratching his head as if preparing to recall some more details.

The group of Titan Snow Demons behind him had already knelt down like a mountain of gold and jade pillars the moment they arrived, each one of them showing the utmost respect.

The sight of so many spirit beasts simultaneously submitting was truly awe-inspiring. The Titan Snow Demon, with its immense size, was undoubtedly the largest among land-based spirit beasts. The sight of so many Titan Snow Demons kneeling in a row was quite spectacular.

After recalling for a while, the Titan Snow Demon King still didn't have much of an impression, so he pulled up a Titan Snow Demon that was over eighty meters tall.

"Snow Emperor, it was that kid Taimin who discovered the problem back then. You can ask him for more details."

"Atai, take him over here and talk to him. Come sit next to me." Xue Di glanced at the two incredibly tall soul beasts, sighed inwardly, and then beckoned to Titan Snow Demon King.

"Okay, okay." Upon hearing what the Snow Emperor said, the Titan Snow Demon King excitedly ran over. The noise he made was no less than that of the Ice Bear King before.

The Ice Bear King was enjoying the Snow Empress's caresses, his eyes narrowed to slits, but now he glanced at the Titan Snow Demon King out of the corner of his eye, his eyes clearly showing dissatisfaction.

Clearly, the relationship between the Titan Snow Demon King and the Snow Demon King wasn't harmonious. The Titan Snow Demon King ran to the Snow Emperor's side in a few quick steps, leaving his little brother, who was over eighty meters tall and had come forward with him, behind.

Then, this number three figure in the core circle of the far north sat down cross-legged next to the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai. The two big guys, him and the Ice Bear King, were so huge that they looked like two icebergs, one big and one small, colliding together.

Even with the Snow Empress in front of him, the Titan Snow Demon King didn't dare to be presumptuous. However, when he sat down, he clearly made physical contact with the Ice Bear King. Neither of the two big guys gave way, and they squeezed each other hard, neither gaining an advantage.

The collision of these two behemoths, though seemingly nothing had happened on the surface, produced a series of cracking sounds from the solid ice on the ground.

These two beings, who have lived for countless millennia, are still vying for favor like children, fighting over a position.

The spirit beasts of the far north ice plains wholeheartedly support the Snow Empress's rule. Whether it's the Ice Bear King or the Titan Snow Demon King, they are already at the top of the food chain here, but in front of the Snow Empress, they dare not be presumptuous in the slightest and completely obey her.

This is different in the other two gathering places of soul beasts. In the Demon Forest of the New World, although it is also a one-man rule by the Evil Eye Tyrant, that one relies on absolute strength and terrifying high pressure to make the many soul beasts obey him through fear.

The fact that the soul beasts of the Demon Forest are now completely subservient to the Evil Eye Clan is entirely due to their inability to defeat them. If they were given a chance to rebel, the entire Evil Eye Clan might be wiped out.

This wasn't Yan joking or making things up; the rule of the Evil Eye Clan was indeed problematic. Relying on the support of the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, this clan indiscriminately hunted other creatures in the Demon Forest for cultivation. Their method of cultivation and advancement was inherently hateful, and the fact that nothing had happened yet was simply because the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler was still keeping things under control.

As for the other gathering place of soul beasts, the largest soul beast forest on land, the Star Dou Great Forest, although most of the soul beasts within its core area are ruled by the Beast God Di Tian, ​​there are also unruly ferocious beasts like Xiong Jun.

Moreover, the Star Dou Great Forest is too large, the ferocious beasts in the core area are currently dormant, and Da Ming and Er Ming lack prestige. There are all kinds of soul beasts, including soul beasts such as the Human-Faced Demon Spider and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which also lead to insufficient cohesion in the Star Dou Great Forest.

While the overall strength of the Arctic Ice Plains is not as great as that of the Star Dou Great Forest, the combined strength of the soul beasts here is actually stronger than that of the Demon Forest and the Star Dou Great Forest, because they are united enough.

"So that's how it is? That human didn't harm you, he just asked about Bing'er's whereabouts. You thought he wouldn't be a match for Bing'er..." The over eighty-meter-tall Titan Snow Demon was unusually reserved in front of the Snow Emperor. He still couldn't quite understand how he had escaped with his life from that human. After learning the whole story, the Snow Emperor seemed to be deep in thought, muttering to herself for a moment before looking around.

"Everyone. It's been a long time since I've seen you all. I'm very happy to see you all this time." The Snow Empress's calm voice rang out, and the surrounding soul beasts immediately fell silent. Although there was no smile on her face, as soon as she said this, all the beasts cheered in unison, and the rolling sound waves tore the gale on the far north ice plain to shreds.

Every soul beast instantly became excited, and just because of Xue Di's few words, they were already ready for battle.

The Snow Empress slowly raised her right hand, making a pressing motion. The beasts, amidst their high-pitched roars, instantly stopped, and everything returned to silence.

Snow Empress glanced at Titan Snow Demon King beside her. Sensing her gaze, Titan Snow Demon King quickly lowered his head ingratiatingly.

The Snow Empress continued, "In recent years, I have been in seclusion, striving to break through the next bottleneck. However, fate has not been kind to me. This time, due to Bing'er's situation, I must emerge from seclusion. My far north is a pure land. For me, the most satisfying thing in my life is the peace of the far north. Now, someone has disrupted this peace. The Ice Empress is in trouble, and we must take action." Upon hearing the Snow Empress's words, the many soul beasts of the surrounding far northern ice plains immediately became excited again.

Although the Ice Emperor's prestige in the far north is not as high as that of the Snow Emperor, she is still the second most important person in the far north. Now that she is in trouble, they, as members of the far north ice plains, certainly cannot sit idly by.

They also believed that under the leadership of the King of the Far North, this crisis would be overcome smoothly. Countless times the Far North had encountered crises, and it was the Snow Emperor who led them through them.

To them, the Snow Emperor is the guardian deity of the entire far north ice plain. Now that their god has spoken, they will surely fight and struggle for her.

"Roar~~~" A powerful roar suddenly rang out. The Titan Snow Demon King, who was sitting cross-legged next to the Snow Emperor, suddenly stood up and pounded his broad chest with both hands. The angry roar exploded and suppressed the noise of all the soul beasts.

A powerful aura, mixed with boundless killing intent, suddenly spread out. The Titan Snow Demon King roared, "Snow Empress, please give the order! The Titan Snow Demon Clan is willing to lead the way for you!" The Ice Bear King, who was prostrate beside the Snow Empress, had now reopened his eyes.

"Snow Emperor, the bear clan of the far north has always been your most loyal mount."

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" As the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King, two peerless ferocious beasts, spoke, many extreme northern soul beasts simultaneously let out three consecutive roars. All the soul beasts of the extreme northern ice plains screamed hysterically, expressing their inner emotions at this moment.

All the spirit beasts of the far north ice plains know that the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress are of the same lineage and have an extremely good relationship. Among the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, although the Ice Empress's prestige is not as high as the Snow Empress's, it far surpasses the Titan Snow Demon King, the third most powerful figure. She is a powerful being second only to the Snow Empress and is deeply supported by countless spirit beasts.

Now that the Ice Emperor is in trouble, these Northern Soul Beasts knew what was going to happen when they were summoned by the Snow Emperor, so they are naturally all eager to fight.

"Everyone, we have a guest." Seeing that the Beast Heart was usable, the Snow Empress was preparing to lead her beasts out. Suddenly, she looked up at a certain spot, because she noticed that the Ice Empress, who had been imprisoned in a certain place for a long time, had suddenly moved, heading towards their location, accompanied by an unfamiliar aura.

As soon as the Snow Empress said this, the many soul beasts became alert. The Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King straightened up at the same time. The Titan Snow Demon King, who was over a hundred meters tall, looked up at the sky and squinted to observe, noticing the approach of a huge creature.

"What is this? The aura of a dragon, but it seems to be an inanimate object? Is it a soul tool?" Titan Snow Demon King was tall and could see far. He observed a shadow approaching from above the clouds. It resembled a dragon and carried the aura of a dragon, but it did not have the vigorous vitality of a dragon. It also made him feel a little threatened. It was likely a soul tool or something like that.

"What is this? A soul tool forged from the remains of a dragon? When did humans acquire this technology? Did they unearth some ancient ruins?" When they saw the flying dragon mech appearing on the horizon, not only was Titan Snow Demon King quite surprised, but Snow Empress was also extremely shocked.

As the Queen of the Far North, she is knowledgeable and experienced. Because of her human-like appearance and great strength, she has actually ventured into the human world many times and is very clear about some of the situations and developments in the human world.

In her mind, although the human world has magical soul tools, most of them only come from ruins. Modern humans simply do not have the ability to create new soul tools, let alone such a terrifying existence that makes her feel threatened.

"Buzz..." The enormous flying dragon mech rapidly approached, constantly emanating the aura of a top-tier dragon race, causing many extreme northern soul beasts to feel fear. Just then, a hazy purple light appeared, and two figures appeared in the sight of the many soul beasts.

Chapter 362 Farewell to Ice and Snow

"Ice Emperor, Ice Emperor is alright?" In the sky, accompanied by waves of purple light, two figures appeared in the sight of many soul beasts. The soul beasts looked at the 1.5-meter-tall Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion in surprise. It seemed that the Ice Emperor had not been harmed.

"Bing'er." Xue Di was also extremely happy to see Bing Di. After carefully observing and confirming that Bing Di was not injured, a huge weight was lifted from her heart.

This time, she was awakened by the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan. After learning that the Ice Emperor was in trouble, her first thought was to go and rescue him herself, but she was persuaded to stay by the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.

After Ice Emperor was captured by Yan, Yan used the Flying Dragon Mech to destroy a mountain in one strike in order to demonstrate his absolute strength. This scene was naturally noticed by some soul beasts who were secretly observing.

Although these soul beasts didn't get too close, and it's unclear what specific methods Yan used, it was clearly not an attack unleashed by Ice Emperor. It could only have been done by the guy who captured Ice Emperor.

When the Snow Empress learned of this information, she calmed down. After sensing from afar that the Ice Empress was temporarily safe, she chose to summon the spirit beasts of the far north and prepare to mobilize all the spirit beasts to rescue the Ice Empress.

However, the situation seemed to be more complicated than she had imagined. She had just gathered the beasts when the guy who had kidnapped Hyotei actually swaggered over with his sister. Was he trying to show off his power? Damn humans.

Snow Empress shifted her gaze from Ice Empress to another figure that had appeared with her. That figure was completely encased in a strange suit of armor, which didn't look particularly remarkable.

What puzzled Xue Di in particular was that this human's aura was at most comparable to a 50,000-year-old soul beast, which is the appearance of a human with a seven-ring soul saint. Could he really be the human powerhouse who captured her sister Bing Di? Could it be a mistake?

"Sister, and everyone else, I'm fine. This was all a misunderstanding." Just as the Snow Empress was feeling puzzled, the Ice Empress in the sky spoke up. Her words sounded normal, but the Snow Empress frowned. The Ice Empress she remembered would never say such a thing. Could it be that she had been threatened by someone?

"Everyone, you should leave first. Atai and Xiaobai, stay here." The Snow Emperor was puzzled, but she knew that it was best to do as the Ice Emperor said at this time. So she arranged for the group of soul beasts whose cultivation was not high enough to leave, leaving only the Titan Snow Demon King Atai and the Arctic Ice Bear King Xiaobai, two peerless ferocious beasts, to deal with the situation.

"This guest, may I ask your name?" After the numerous soul beasts had gone a little further away, the flying dragon mech and Ice Emperor landed together in the sky. As the figure that appeared with Ice Emperor approached, Snow Emperor's gaze became more scrutinizing.

The armored figure beside Hyotei was none other than Yan. He laughed loudly, his voice booming.

"The Snow Emperor is quite bold. Knowing that I captured the Ice Emperor, she didn't even take any precautions."

"If you dare to appear before me, what do I have to be afraid of? This is, after all, the far north, not the world of humans." The Snow Empress glanced at the Ice Empress in surprise. Seeing that the latter did not intend to refute her, her expression became slightly serious. She knew the Ice Empress's pride well. The fact that she did not retort at this moment meant that this human had actually defeated her sister, the Ice Empress.

Although she had previously underestimated this human Soul Saint who was merely comparable to a 50,000-year-old Soul Beast, once she confirmed that he was the one who defeated her sister, Ice Emperor, Snow Empress's vigilance had reached its peak.

Yan did not argue with Xue Di about the safety of the far north. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke again: "Xue Di, I have a question that I cannot answer. I wonder if you can clarify it for me?"

"Please speak." Xue Di's attitude now seemed somewhat respectful, an attitude of equality. Since Yan had the ability to capture Bing Di, no matter what means he used, in terms of strength, he was at least close to hers and qualified for her to take him seriously.

Yan paused slightly, then asked a question that made all the soul beasts present change their expressions.

"I heard that your time is coming to an end and you will not be able to survive the 700,000-year tribulation. I wonder if this is true?"

"Human, how dare you!"

"How dare you curse the Snow Empress! You're courting death!" Before the Snow Empress could even speak, Titan Snow Demon King Atai and Arctic Ice Bear King Xiaobai reacted fiercely, absolutely refusing to accept what Yan had said.

How could the Snow Empress, a god-like being in the far north, possibly be nearing the end of her life?

"Hey you two, don't get so worked up. Even the Snow Emperor hasn't said anything yet." The Flying Dragon Mech stood in front of Yan, taking the brunt of the attacks from the two enormous beasts, the Arctic Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King. The collision of the three behemoths shook the entire snowfield. Hearing the huge commotion, the soul beasts in the distance prepared to surround Yan and launch a righteous beating.

"Stop it, all of you!" Fortunately, at this critical moment, the Snow Empress spoke up, and the Titan Snow Demon King and the Arctic Ice Bear King immediately became obedient.

"Human, where did you get this information?" Xue Di looked at Yan with fear in her eyes. Originally, her impression of Yan was just that of a human powerhouse who had defeated her sister, Virus, but she never expected that he would know such a secret.

She was nearing the end of her life and wasn't confident she could survive the 700,000-year tribulation. Only she knew this, and she hadn't told anyone. How did this guy in front of her know?

"Sister, could it be that you really..." The Ice Emperor was the one who understood the Snow Emperor the most. Seeing her reveal this attitude, she knew in her heart that Yan's words were probably true. Her sister was also nearing her end. Was their far north destined to suffer a catastrophe?

"Snow Emperor, you..." Titan Snow Demon King's voice trembled slightly. At the level of ferocious beasts like them, they understood even more clearly what it meant for their time to come to an end.

"Snow Empress." The Arctic Ice Bear King also looked up, gazing earnestly at the Snow Empress. Its relationship with the Snow Empress was more complicated. It had been picked up and raised by the Snow Empress since birth, and had become the chief of the Arctic Ice Bears, always obeying the Snow Empress's orders.

In its heart, Xue Di was like a mother. Now, its mother was about to meet her end, but it was completely unaware of this. Large tears slid down from the side of the bear's eyes, dripping onto the snow and freezing into ice.

Snow Empress, unusually gentle, soothed the several ferocious beasts.

"Alright, you don't need to be sad anymore. I just wasn't that confident, not that I'm destined to fail. Maybe I can survive the 700,000-year tribulation." Yan stood quietly to the side, watching the interaction between these high-ranking spirit beasts from the far north. Only after the Snow Empress had calmed down the Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King did he speak again: "Snow Empress, you should actually understand the lifespan of spirit beasts better than I do. Choosing to retain the spirit beast body and keep trying to break through the tribulation is inherently a dead end. On the Douluo Continent, no matter how strong a spirit beast's individual power is, it's still..." "It's impossible to touch the world of gods; this is a rule established long ago, a regulation set by the divine realm. Even Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, powerful enough, couldn't break this curse. If he can't, then you certainly can't either. If I'm not mistaken, you're already preparing materials for cultivating the secret technique, aren't you? You're thinking that even if you fail to break through, you can still transform back into human form, using your beastly body to cultivate the secret technique and become human again. Your courage is indeed remarkable, but it's also far too naive. To be frank, your chances of success are extremely slim."

"Human, where did you learn these things from?" Xue Di's expression suddenly turned extremely cold and fierce, her eyes filled with killing intent. Her secrets, which she had never told anyone, had been exposed by someone else, and she was shocked and also had murderous thoughts.

If it could be deduced that her time was coming to an end based on her cultivation level, then how did this person know about her plan to use a secret method to transform into a human body after failing to break through to a higher level? She had never mentioned this to anyone.

"Do you want to know? Aren't you afraid?" Yan smiled at Xue Di, pointed to the sky, and said meaningfully. Xue Di fell silent, because the wind and snow stirred up by her momentary anger immediately calmed down.

After a long silence, the King of the Far North spoke again: "I wonder what brings you here today, sir? I have been quite negligent in the past, and it was Xue'er who was impolite." The Snow Empress was very humble, and Yan was quite satisfied with her at this moment. Who could refuse such a cold and beautiful goddess who bowed her head in greeting?

"Xue'er, what a lovely name," Yan praised first. This rather flippant tone drew angry glares from the Titan Snow Demon King and the Arctic Ice Bear King, but without the Snow Empress's permission, they dared not act rashly. Yan, seemingly oblivious to the murderous gazes, continued, "I wonder if there's a quieter place? I have some things I'd like to discuss with you, Xue'er, and Bing'er, alone." As he spoke, Yan glanced at the Ice Empress, indicating that she should attend to her business. The 1.5-meter-tall Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was somewhat displeased, but still nodded.

A jade-like emerald light appeared, and the large, icy-green scorpion, which had been like a jade carving, disappeared, replaced by an extremely beautiful young woman.

The girl had a delicate face and a cold and beautiful temperament. On each side of her fair face were four emerald green magic patterns. Her long dark green hair was draped behind her, and she wore a long emerald green dress.

Her skin was as white as snow, with a translucent texture, and beneath it, a faint emerald light flowed.

As soon as she appeared, the surrounding air temperature dropped sharply. This was the Ice Emperor's appearance after transforming into human form. Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast can transform into human form if it maintains its beast form while cultivating.

After they survived two hundred thousand years and passed through successive heavenly tribulations to become ferocious beasts, they not only broke through their original life limits, but were also able to briefly transform into human form and possess all sorts of incredible abilities.

Chapter 363 The Snow Empress's Choice

"Sister, although this guy isn't a good person, but..." After transforming into human form, Ice Empress came to Snow Empress's side and whispered. Although she had only stayed by Yan's side for a few days, she had learned a lot about Yan through her conversations with Bai Xiuxiu and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Qiu'er. Now that she was speaking, it would be more helpful for Snow Empress to make a judgment.

After hearing Ice Emperor's words, Snow Empress looked at Yan with surprise. She had not expected that this human was actually related to the legendary Emperor Beast and Sea God Island.

"Please follow me, Your Excellency." After a moment's thought, the Snow Empress turned and led the way, with the Ice Empress following beside her. Yan, seeing the two cold and beautiful goddesses standing side by side, simply smiled and followed.
