The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

"Of course, no problem. After all, I am an unprecedented million-year-old soul beast on the continent. The reason why the soul bones of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan are difficult to absorb is that ordinary soul masters can hardly withstand that domineering extreme ice attribute energy. But with my ice attribute origin and remains cultivated for a million years, it is enough to filter and decompose the extreme ice attribute energy inside, turning it into a gentler and purer energy for Ning Tian to absorb."

"I'll continue to trouble you with this from now on." Xu Zihuang naturally knew that Tianmeng Bingcan wasn't as carefree as she appeared. If it were just about not being able to get what you wanted from someone you liked, there wouldn't be so many simps in the world.

However, he is destined not to compromise on certain matters, because what the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress have done has crossed his bottom line.

……

The core area of ​​the far north. Following the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Ice Bear clan and the Titan Snow Demon clan also arrived one after another.

Compared to the Ice Jade Scorpions, the Ice Bears and Titan Snow Demons were much larger. As these two groups charged towards them, the ground seemed to tremble, emitting deep, muffled thuds.

Especially the kings of these two races, Ice Bear King Xiaobai and Titan Snow Demon King Atai.

The Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, was as large as a small hill. Even walking on all fours, it was over fifteen meters tall. Standing upright, it was probably over forty meters tall. In terms of size, it was not much inferior to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King, Xiong Jun, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Its massive body is covered in thick fur that shimmers with a faint silver sheen, giving it a metallic appearance.

Following behind it were more than two hundred ice bears with cultivation levels of over ten thousand years.

Although the Titan Snow Demon race numbers only a little over a hundred, despite the large number of Ice Bears, they are all adult Titan Snow Demons with at least ten thousand years of cultivation. Each Titan Snow Demon is nearly a hundred meters tall, their magnificent bodies seemingly capable of supporting the sky.

The leader, Titan Snow Demon King Atai, was over 120 meters tall. Even in the deep sea, few soul beasts could match his size.

What's even more peculiar is that the Titan Snow Demon King clan's appearance is remarkably similar to humans. They have long, slender arms and their entire bodies are covered in long, snow-white fur. Even their faces resemble humans. However, the many wrinkles on their foreheads, combined with their bluish-black skin and two enormous fangs, reveal their true nature as spirit beasts.

"Roar—" Looking at the clusters of deep purple dragon flames condensed by the pale blue crystal cube, and the Snow Empress and Ice Empress struggling to hold on in the center of this space, the Titan Snow Demon King pounded his hands on his muscular chest twice and let out a roar of shock and anger.

"Who is it?!"

In the far north, the Snow Empress is the ruler, the sole sovereign. No spirit beast dares to challenge her majesty.

It was no exception. For the Snow Emperor, the Titan Snow Demon King held not only awe, but also heartfelt respect.

Even though the Snow Emperor has now been restored to human form, they firmly believe that she can return to her peak and continue to protect the peace and stability of the far north.

"Snow Emperor!"

Ice Bear King Xiaobai roared repeatedly and rushed anxiously into the pale blue absolute zero barrier.

The time-stopping effect of Snow Empress's Absolute Zero only affected Xu Zihuang's Soul Skill, Radiant Dragon Annihilation Flame, and did not affect the movements of Ice Bear King Xiaobai. Its incredibly obese body left deep marks on the Arctic ice plains with every landing.

A relieved smile appeared on Xue Di's pretty face, but then the smile faded and she said solemnly, "Atai, Xiaobai, the reason I summoned you here is to gather everyone's strength to resist these dragon flames. My far north is a pure land, and we must not allow these dragon flames to fall and destroy this place. You should also take your tribes and Bing'er's people to your positions."

"Yes!" Since the safety of the far north was at stake, the Titan Snow Demon King dared not delay and immediately ordered his people to spread the word.

Although the Titan Snow Demon clan did not reach the pinnacle of ice attribute like the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, their physical strength was at the very top of the soul beast pyramid, making them the most suitable for direct confrontation.

It believed that the Snow Emperor had summoned them here to take on a positive role.

But the eyes of Ice Bear King Xiaobai were filled with anger.

"Is Xue Di the Emperor?!"

There are very few true dragons left on the continent with pure dragon blood, and after much thought, it can only think of the one who can unleash such a powerful area-of-effect dragon flame attack, the one known as the Beast God, Di Tian.

It was adopted by the Snow Empress when it was a cub. The Snow Empress raised it and made it the king of the Ice Bear clan. The Snow Empress held a supreme position in its heart.

Even if it were the Beast God Emperor Tian himself, if he were to harm the Snow Emperor, it would fight him to the death without hesitation.

On the other side, the Titan Snow Demon King, hearing his old rival's roar, also looked over in this direction.

Although it had never personally witnessed Di Tian's battle, the earth-shattering battle between the Beast God Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant Emperor had spread throughout the entire Soul Beast world.

Legend has it that the Beast God Di Tian once used a talent soul skill called Myriad Dragon Flames to leave the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord in a sorry state. And those Myriad Dragon Flames do indeed resemble these enormous clusters of dragon flames falling from the sky.

"It wasn't Di Tian, ​​but a human Soul Master who trespassed into the core area of ​​our far north." Ice Empress's beautiful face was filled with coldness.

"A human Soul Master?!" Both Ice Bear King Xiaobai and Titan Snow Demon King were astonished.

Could there really be a human soul master in the human world capable of pushing the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress to such a predicament?!

Seeing the affection that the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, showed her, Xue Di's gaze softened considerably. Then, she urgently reminded everyone, "Everyone, get ready immediately! These dragon flames aren't fire-attribute soul skills, but destructive ones. Do not try to take them head-on with your physical bodies!"

As she spoke, the Snow Empress shattered the absolute zero barrier, and the terrifying destructive dragon flames instantly approached. It was a true catastrophe descending upon the world.

The dozen or so dragon flames that descended towards Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Titan Snow Demon King Atai, and Ice Bear King Xiaobai were the most powerful and the first to arrive. Each one resembled a deep purple sun, eerily domineering. Deep, destructive flames rose and swirled above them, bringing an extremely oppressive sense of unease.

Having forcibly activated her primal power for so long, Xue Di was already nearing her limit. It was Bing Di who caught her in time after she lost consciousness.

"Xue'er!"

Although Ice Bear King Xiaobai and Titan Snow Demon King Atai were also worried about Snow Empress's situation, their most important task at the moment was to stop the dragon flames.

The two beast kings, who were both unwilling to submit to each other, cooperated with remarkable synergy.

Ice Bear King Xiaobai stood upright in his true form, his entire body radiating a powerful ice-blue aura. With a roar, a massive ice-blue sphere of light shot into the air from his body.

Ice Meteor. The most destructive innate soul skill of the Ice Bear clan.

When the Ice Meteor was first released, it was just an ice ball with a diameter of one meter, but in the blink of an eye, its size rapidly expanded to more than a hundred meters, creating an astonishing spectacle. The violent ice-attribute aura inside also suddenly surged.

This ice meteor was designed to mimic a comet's fall. Its defining characteristics are rapid flight and explosive force.

The ice meteor instantly unleashed an incredibly terrifying speed, transforming into a shooting star and hurtling towards the sky. It collided directly with four or five clusters of dragon flames.

The dazzling ice-blue tail flame left a clear trail of light before disappearing into the horizon.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

One explosion after another rang out, and several clusters of deep purple dragon flames that had been trailing the icy blue light trails turned into countless specks of light.

On the other side, the Titan Snow Demon King raised his arms, his huge hands clenching into fists.

Two dark blue-green hand shadows appeared out of thin air, obscuring the sky and shimmering with a rich white halo.

With just one strike, these two giant palm phantoms crushed the four balls of dragon flame.

Titan's Grip!

While Titan Snow Demon King may not be as adept at controlling ice as Ice Bear King Little White, this does not mean that its race is less powerful than that of the Ice Bear.

Conversely, the Titan Snow Demons are descendants of the ancient Ice God's encounter with the Titan Giants. In terms of potential, they still surpass the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai.

The most obvious difference lies in their vastly different cultivation levels. The Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, has less than a 30% chance of surviving his third tribulation, while the Titan Snow Demon King has at least a 50% chance.

This difference stems from differences in bloodline and cultural heritage.

It must be acknowledged that Xu Zihuang's soul power cultivation is still somewhat inferior to that of Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King Xiaobai at this stage. However, the situation will completely reverse in the near future.

If Xu Zihuang, with his Title Douluo cultivation, were to unleash the Radiant Dragon Annihilation Flame, it would be enough to wipe out Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King Xiaobai, and the vast region of the far north.

Elsewhere, the Ice Jade Scorpions, Titan Snow Demons, and Ice Bears were also cooperating to resist the dragon flames. The sky above this space was filled with various dazzling soul power lights.

Besides the Ice Emperor, the Ice Bear King Xiaobai, and the Titan Snow Demon King, each race also has four or five powerful individuals with a cultivation level of 100,000 years. This alone is enough to demonstrate the profound resources of the far north.

With the combined strength of the three major races, the crisis brought about by these destructive dragon flames was finally resolved.

While the Snow Empress was unconscious, the Ice Emperor took charge of the overall situation, restoring peace to the turbulent far north.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

During this period, Ning Tian successfully fused with the soul ring and soul bone of the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion. It took a long time, but the rewards were equally rich.

The most direct manifestation of this was that Ning Tian's soul power cultivation directly leaped to the sixty-third level. This was not only due to the effects of the soul rings and soul bones, but also to the life force within his body that he had not fully absorbed.

Chapter 449 Ice Emperor's Protection and Ning Tian's Plan

The moon shines brightly in the sky, and the snow on the ground glows like jade.

In the serene, snowy, moonlit night, two young people, dressed in luxurious fur coats, walked together. They were Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​leaving the far north and heading towards Dragon City.

Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, and under the moonlight, each turn of them scattered a soft halo.

Strangely, although the snowflakes were drifting in the wind, they seemed to have their own consciousness and actively avoided Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian's bodies.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's attribute is genuine, ultimate ice. Since fusing with the spirit ring and spirit bone of that 20,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, Ning Tian has gained the ability to control wind and snow to a certain extent, and will no longer be afraid of low-temperature environments. His resistance to ice or fire attribute spirit skills has also been greatly improved.

Xu Zihuang, on the other hand, had previously fused with the dragon soul energy of an ancient ice dragon in the Dragon Tomb. His body could unconsciously repel the wind and snow. This was also the reason for his confidence when facing the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor earlier.

While the Snow Empress and Ice Empress's races are powerful, the Ancient Ice Dragon is, after all, a true dragon of pure blood. If an Ancient Ice Dragon still exists, it would undoubtedly be no weaker than the Beast God Di Tian. The Beast God Di Tian belongs to the Dark Dragon King lineage, while the Ancient Ice Dragon originates from the Water Dragon King lineage. Both are direct descendants of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.

With the dragon soul energy of an ancient ice dragon fused into his body, Xu Zihuang will have an innate advantage when facing the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

Ning Tian, ​​whose right arm was linked with Xu Zihuang's, looked down at the palm of his left hand. Beneath the fair and delicate skin, a faint emerald green light flowed.

With a thought, a small snowstorm silently formed in her palm. Then, under her control, it vanished without a trace.

This feeling is incredibly strange.

Xu Zihuang stopped and said to Ning Tian with a gentle smile, "Judging from your appearance, you should be getting used to it. Try out the skill of that soul bone. Although the Ice Jade Scorpion's cultivation level was a bit low, the soul bone it produced will definitely give you a pretty good soul skill."

"Mmm," Ning Tian replied with a smile on her pretty face.

Soul bones suitable for a support-type soul master like her are already rare, so she was actually quite satisfied with obtaining that 20,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone.

Ning Tian slowly raised her left hand. As soul power was injected, her entire left arm seemed to transform into a piece of emerald green jade, standing out vividly in this snow-white world.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of crystal-clear diamond-like ice crystals silently covered her left arm, then spread throughout her entire body. Each ice crystal was the size of a fingernail, hexagonal in shape, and had multiple facets. Any light shining on these ice crystals reflected a dazzling brilliance.

The Soul Bone Skill of the Eternal Ice Jade Scorpion's Left Arm: Ice Emperor's Protection!

Just as Xu Zihuang had guessed, the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone gave Ning Tian a defensive soul skill.

To his surprise, this soul skill was actually Ice Emperor's Body Protection, the strongest defensive talent soul skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. The skill attached to this soul bone did not change according to Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul; it was directly the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's talent soul skill.

This is an alternative form of soul skill solidification. It only occurs when the martial soul is powerful and its abilities are extremely compatible with the soul bone and soul beast it produces.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can be meticulously categorized as a gemstone-type weapon spirit, and the Star Crown Martial Spirit of the Xu family, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, also belongs to this category. The Ice Jade Scorpion's true form is itself a perfect work of art, seemingly sculpted from a gemstone, sharing a common characteristic with gemstone-type weapon spirits. This explains the current situation.

Ning Tian looked up at Xu Zihuang with delight. Experiencing the power of this soul skill firsthand, she was also pleasantly surprised.

"This soul skill is called Ice Emperor's Protection. Tianhuang, I can sense that this soul skill has very strong defensive capabilities. I remember this is a talent soul skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, right?"

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian interlocked their fingers and examined the bone carefully. Xu Zihuang nodded slightly and said, "Your soul bone has indeed completely inherited the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's innate soul skill, Ice Emperor's Body Protection. If I'm not mistaken, these diamond-like ice crystal armor should also have the effect of refracting soul guide rays and various energy attacks."

"Yes."

Ning Tian smiled and withdrew her soul skill, greedily savoring the warmth of Xu Zihuang's palm. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked with great concern, "By the way, Tianhuang, how long did it take me to absorb the soul ring and soul bone this time?"

"Today is the third night since you started your meditation practice, which also happens to be my eighteenth birthday." Xu Zihuang's expression couldn't help but show some emotion.

On his seventeenth birthday a year ago, he and Ye Guyi took that step in Longcheng. And on his eighteenth birthday a year later, she and Ning Tian came to Longcheng again.

"Tonight marks your eighteenth birthday. Luckily, you didn't miss it this time."

In the Douluo Continent, fifteen years old is considered adulthood. However, only after turning eighteen are people truly regarded as adults. In many parts of the continent, the eighteenth birthday is highly valued.
