Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 87: Hunting the Void Predator, the Origin of the Star Crown Martial Spirit

The wind and snow were howling as Snow Emperor and Shu Yan were flying high in the sky, while Ice Emperor below was not flying very high.

The two of them used their mental powers to quickly and comprehensively survey the surroundings, and their expressions were very serious. Facing a top-level soul beast whose spatial attributes had almost reached the pinnacle, if they didn't pay more attention, the other party would probably escape again if they were not careful.

Xue Di looked around, then she said softly:
"This Void Predator's activity range is in this area. This soul beast is very smart. At most, it moves within the mixed circle and dares not step into the core circle at all. It is precisely because of its caution that Bing'er and I are helpless."

Shu Yan was silent for a while, then said softly:

"It's okay. With Sister Xue and you two working together, I think it won't cause any trouble."

Xue Di nodded, but did not deny it.

With her and Bingdi attacking together, as long as the opponent is locked, there is absolutely no possibility of survival. Of course, that is only the case when the opponent does not try desperately to let the human area escape, otherwise things to consider will become complicated in an instant.

At this moment, Bingdi's voice also sounded in his ears:

"I sensed a faint aura in the west. I'll go check it out first. Xue'er, you take Shu Yan and the other two and wait for the right moment to strike. I don't believe this guy can escape death again."

After saying that, Bingdi's petite figure turned into a green light and flew towards the west. The thick clouds along the way were blown away by the strong wind she brought, forming a clear trail.

"Let's go take a look too."

Snow Emperor narrowed her eyes slightly, and then led the two to follow the traces left by Ice Emperor.

……

More than ten kilometers away, a soul beast with a strange appearance was devouring the essence of a ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm. A green light seemed to flash above the distant sky, and a powerful and terrifying aura blew towards him with the cold wind.

Almost subconsciously, this void predator, whose cultivation level was approaching 110,000 years, suddenly raised its head. There seemed to be a flash of light on its bright silver shell, and its empty eyes slowly became bright. Its front feet, which were shining with cold light like sharp blades, moved slightly, and the oncoming snow and wind were cut straight away. The next moment, with a flash of silver light, its figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only the half-eaten corpse of the ice silkworm on the ground.

In mid-air, feeling the familiar breath, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the face of the Ice Emperor. The emerald green extreme ice soul power slowly condensed. The next moment, her figure suddenly disappeared. A punch landed above the clouds. The terrifying fist wind formed a huge ice tornado with layers of air waves stacked up. The next moment, silver light flashed again, and a silver figure rushed out of the clouds at a high speed. At the same time, there were dozens of silver slashes.

The Ice Emperor clenched his fists, and emerald green soul power waves spread out, and almost in an instant, all the silver blows were frozen.

Xue Di suddenly appeared beside them with the two of them. She stared into the distance and then said:
"Shu Yan, you protect Jiujiu first. Bing'er and I will attack together to cut off this guy's retreat."

The Ice Emperor raised his fist, sneered, and then said: "This guy just escaped in a hurry, and he didn't even realize that there was still a trace of my soul power left in his body. No matter how outstanding his spatial ability is, today he can only become your sixth soul ring..."

After saying that, the Ice Emperor rushed out again. After the Snow Emperor left a trace of her soul power on the two of them to intimidate other Far North soul beasts, her figure flashed and she disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu landed safely on a snow slope. Xu Jiujiu looked in the direction where the two of them left and said with emotion:
"This is the first time I've seen a Super Douluo-level warrior take action. The power of destroying the heavens and the earth with every move of his hands is truly fascinating..."

Shu Yan casually condensed a blue barrier to isolate the wind and snow from the outside world. He lay leisurely on the snow and said:
"Haha... don't worry, sooner or later, we will all have such power. Acquiring power is also a gradual process. Only in this way can we deepen our understanding of power to the greatest extent. I am now wondering, if your martial spirit evolves successfully, what will it look like..."

Xu Jiujiu took out a blanket and threw it beside Shu Yan, then sat down gracefully, thought for a moment, and then said:
"That... I don't know. After all, in the ten thousand years of inheritance of my Star Crown Sect, there are many precedents of mutant spirits, such as the Ice Crown, which is extremely good at attack and control, and the Thick Earth Crown, a defensive spirit of earth attribute. But almost without exception, although these mutant spirits are powerful, they are almost not much different from the pure Star Crown spirit itself. If I really want to talk about the appearance of the Star Crown spirit after evolution, I actually prefer an ancient record in the sect."

Shu Yan became interested. He stood up and lay on Xu Jiujiu's soft and warm thighs, then said:
"Tell me about it?"

Xu Jiujiu lowered his head and pinched Shu Yan's nose, his fingers constantly tracing the lines of his cheeks. After thinking for a while, he said:

"This is a legend in the sect's ancient history about the origin of our Star Crown Martial Spirit."

"Legend has it that more than 10,000 years ago, when the two empires of Xingluo and Tiandou were still in a period of relatively balanced combat power, in a village in the north of Xingluo, a girl whose family martial arts spirit was the hunting bow suddenly awakened a completely different auxiliary martial arts spirit - the crown. At the same time, her innate soul power also reached the rare eighth level."

"At that time, the training of auxiliary spirit masters was considered the most difficult of all spirit masters. The girl struggled along the rugged spirit master path. She joined a relatively powerful sect in the Xingluo Empire at that time, received good training, and broke through to the spirit saint level at the age of about 60."

At this point, Xu Jiujiu smiled softly, and after a moment, she continued:
"For ordinary people, breaking through to the Soul Saint level at around 60 years old may be considered good, but it also means that if there is no great opportunity in the second half of her life, she will almost never reach the Titled Douluo realm."

"But the turning point happened when she was 67."

"That year, the northern part of Xingluo encountered a rare large-scale beast tide. As the people were devastated, our ancestor chose to join the so-called salvation team. In an accident, she was bitten by a soul beast and got separated from the team. Finally, she fainted in a canyon called Juxing Valley."

"But there was a turning point in the inevitable death. The crown martial soul produced a subtle reaction with the large amount of starlight power accumulated in the Gathering Star Valley, and gradually merged into her body during the time she was unconscious, washing away and replacing the light attribute in her crown martial soul, making her martial soul leap into a top-level weapon martial soul with starlight power."

"Before she separated from the team, her cultivation was at level 75. But when she reappeared in front of the world, her cultivation had reached level 94, and she was only one step away from becoming a Super Douluo. And by that time, seven years had passed since she disappeared..."

"It's easy to imagine how powerful and rare a Titled Douluo was in that era, but she didn't think about fighting for power or even status. She established a sect in the original Juxing Valley, and later chose to marry a man who had a relationship with her during the beast tide. Their children all inherited their mother's Star Crown Martial Spirit..."
