Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 32: Gold of Living Beings, Shu Yan's Sky Collapses

A strong cold aura suddenly burst out from the carving knife. The green light illuminated the entire hall in an instant. The wind howled, and it seemed as if countless ghosts were howling beside them. A gloomy feeling enveloped the hall.

Xu Jiujiu groaned in discomfort. She was surprised to find that the cold energy was almost pervasive. In just a moment, a small amount of it broke through the defense of her soul power and entered her body.

Xue Di looked at the green light that appeared on the Soul-Devouring Knife, and she basically understood what was going on in her mind. Then she waved her hand, and the aura of an unparalleled ferocious beast burst out. In an instant, the pressure from the Soul-Devouring Knife was completely suppressed. After trembling a few times, the Knife's body returned to calm.

The Soul-Devouring Knife itself is extremely dangerous, but facing the ferocious beast, the threat it poses is still too small. It can even be said that they are not comparable at all. The two are not on the same level at all.

After waiting for the Soul Devouring Knife to calm down completely, the Ice Emperor turned his head to look at the Snow Emperor and asked curiously:
"Xue'er, what did you see?"

Xue Di's jade hand stroked the teacup, thought for a moment, and then said:
"The evil soul master who created this carving knife did leave a trace of his soul in it. This trace of soul absorbed the soul power and life energy of the previous owners and continued to grow stronger. When using this carving knife, you will be affected by this trace of soul. Those with weak minds will be affected by it and eventually fall into darkness and evil. In short, this carving knife is indeed worthy of its name as an evil knife."

"But after a deep analysis with my mental power, I found something different on this cold surface. That familiar energy reaction seems like life energy...?"

Shu Yan raised his eyes slightly. He was not surprised that Xue Di could see some of the mystery. After all, her mental power was at the level of Extreme Douluo. It would be really unreasonable if she could not find any mystery at all.

Bingdi scratched his head and stared at the Soul-Devouring Knife for a while, but still didn't find anything special. The only difference was probably the strange feeling in his heart.

Shu Yan reached out and closed the jade box, then said softly:
"Sister Xue is right. This carving knife is made of a special metal called Gold of Life. The life energy contained in it is so huge that it is almost unimaginable."

When the unfamiliar words reappeared, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of Xue Di and the other two.

Xu Jiujiu pulled Shu Yan's arm, and then asked curiously:
"Ayan, what kind of metal is the gold of life? I have never heard of it before."

Xue Di and the other two also cast curious glances, as if waiting for Shu Yan's explanation.

But in response, Shu Yan just shook his head slightly, and then said:

"You will know later. For now, you only need to know that this is a treasure that ranks among the best in the entire plane. It is just affected by the appearance now. With it, even if you want to die, it will be difficult..."

Bingdi was startled when he heard this, then he slammed the table and said with shining eyes:

"A huge amount of life energy, isn't this exactly what Xue'er and I need? If we have enough life energy, not to mention surviving this catastrophe, even the next one, or the one after that, this emperor and Xue'er will be safe and sound..."

As soon as he said this, Bingdi immediately realized that something was wrong.

She, Xue Di and Shu Yan had already sworn an oath of ice and snow to each other, and they had all been working towards the same goal. If she said such things now, although she did not express her thoughts openly, once the other party thought too much, her explanation would seem pale and ridiculous.

Bingdi felt a surge of regret in her heart. She hated herself for saying this. Now, she could only pray that Shu Yan would not take her impulsive words to heart, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone...

The expressions of Xue Di and Xu Jiujiu also changed slightly. They looked at Shu Yan together. Unexpectedly, Shu Yan just smiled and waved his hand. He didn't seem to care much about what Bing Di said. "What's the point of going through one calamity after another? The Deep Sea Demon Whale King ten thousand years ago relied on devouring to have a million years of cultivation when his actual age was only over 300,000 years old. He even completed the transformation of soul power into armor. He was only one step away from becoming a real sea dragon. But he couldn't get over the last hurdle. Is it because he is not talented enough, or is he not working hard enough?"

Seeing that no one responded, Shu Yan smiled and shook his head, then revealed the reality:

"Neither. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a great overlord. There is only one reason why he cannot become a god, and that is that the God Realm does not allow any soul beast to become a god. This is the iron law of the God Realm. The specific reason can be traced back to a great war between gods a long time ago. The plane will suppress humans and soul beasts who have reached their limits, and the suppression admitted by soul beasts is more than one times stronger than that of humans. All of this is real. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Snow Queen..."

After these words were spoken, Ice Emperor subconsciously looked at Snow Emperor. Snow Emperor's expression remained unchanged. He just sighed lightly and then nodded.

Seeing this, Bingdi suddenly became a little depressed. She said with a little frustration:

"I admit I was wrong. I won't say such things again. I'm just used to it and got a little excited. I'm sorry..."

Seeing Bingdi's aggrieved look, Shu Yan subconsciously reached out and rubbed her head, then said:
"It's no big deal. I understand your thoughts. It takes time to adapt to reality. Don't take it to heart."

Bingdi felt the gentle touch on his head, and his brain suddenly went into a state of shutdown. Xuedi's mouth twitched, and he turned his head away as if he couldn't bear it. Xu Jiujiu clenched his fists in an instant, and there was more jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Shu Yan, and there seemed to be an invisible flame burning in his eyes...

Shu Yan's palm froze in mid-air strangely. He seemed to realize how bold his behavior was. Feeling the two burning gazes, Shu Yan suddenly felt a little stuffy in the room. He simply swallowed his saliva, stood up and walked out the door, saying by the way:
"I suddenly remembered that I still need to practice. You guys play, I'll go first..."

But he had only taken two steps when a huge force suddenly attacked him from behind, and at the same time, the sound of the Ice Emperor as if he was quenching ice slag was heard:
"Leave? Where else do you want to go?"

"Shu Yan, you are really getting more and more courageous. You even dared to touch my head. Do you really think I am easy to bully? Haha, just because of what you did just now, I have to practice with you today..."

Shu Yan turned around with tears in his eyes. Bingdi was not practicing with him at all. He was clearly taking the opportunity to beat him up to settle a personal grudge. Is this fair?
Just as Shu Yan was about to lie down and pretend to be dead, Xu Jiujiu behind him suddenly spoke:

"and many more!"

Shu Yan's eyes lit up, and he knew that Jiujiu must still be concerned about him, but the next moment, before his smile could fully take shape, Jiujiu's words made him freeze again.

“Sister Bingdi, don’t worry about sparring with A Yan. You don’t have to be restrained. The empire has Senior Yixian, the world’s number one healing spirit master. As long as he survives, A Yan will never get into trouble…”

Bingdi showed Xu Jiujiu a brilliant smile, and then said softly:

"Don't worry, I am a professional in training my juniors, I guarantee that Xiao Shuzi will not give a bad review..."

As he said that, Bingdi forcefully dragged Shu Yan towards the combat training ground behind the princess's mansion. Shu Yan looked up at the sky, and for a moment he felt as if the sky had collapsed...
