Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 247 What are the benefits of the Demon Soul Great White Shark serving as the Sea God's dog?
The Demon Soul Great White Shark King is a tyrant of the ocean, and has rarely encountered a human soul master who dares to block his way.

Those Soul Masters who dared to block the way were either driven away or died.

But the aura of the Demon Orca King seemed to have disappeared. He didn't take the Snow Empress seriously, but he valued the person who could kill the Demon Orca King.

Therefore, he was disdainful of the Snow Emperor who appeared out of nowhere, and asked in a cold voice: "I came to seek trouble with an enemy, and now it seems that he is dead. Was it the person behind you who killed him?"

Xue Di nodded slightly: "That's right. I'll use him as bait to lure you, the overlords of the sea spirit beasts, here for a battle. Do you accept this?"

Upon receiving a positive response, the Great White Shark swarm visibly stirred.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King raised his eyes, completely disregarding the Snow Empress, who possessed a sixth-ring cultivation level: "What makes you think you can make me play house with you? Do you think you're a descendant of the Sea God family?"

Xue Di's reply was succinct: "I will fight you, life or death; if you win, you can devour everything I have and I will not disappoint you, and if I win, the same will be true."

A towering snow maiden appeared behind the Snow Emperor, with six black soul rings rising slowly from her feet. The Emperor's Frosty Sky was frozen solid, though the temperature was not as extreme as the Eternal Frozen Domain, and the beautiful, drifting snowflakes covered a wider area.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King sensed a trace of its own kind emanating from the other party and was taken aback: "You are actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?"

"Will we fight?!" A powerful light shone in Xue Di's eyes, and her Title Douluo-level spiritual power was released from her spiritual sea, like rising water mist, filling the sky and the earth.

"Fight! Why not fight! You've delivered yourself to our doorstep!" The Demon Soul Great White Shark King was very confident and readily agreed.

"If you were at your peak, you might be able to put up a fight with me, but how much strength do you have now? I have already survived my first tribulation!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King emphasized his glorious history of surviving his first tribulation. He pointed out that even 100,000-year-old soul beasts have varying levels of strength, and that his opponent was a useless person who dared not undergo tribulation, but went mad after transforming into human form.

The Snow Emperor didn't say much. He smiled and condensed thousands of snowflakes into a three-foot-long ice sword in his right hand. With a flick of his wrist, he swung the sword horizontally, its frost-like light captivating the soul.

Once the battle is agreed upon, there's no need to consider anything else.

Emperor's Sword, Unparalleled in Ice.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King did not underestimate its opponent. It stirred its body, released the Demon Shark Domain, and controlled the surrounding seawater to greatly enhance its power. At the same time, it issued commands to its people:
"Let's all attack together and tear this feast that's been delivered right to our doorstep!"

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

The sea surface was churned up in large currents. Behind the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, hundreds of Demon Soul Great White Sharks received the command and let out low, hoarse cries. The roar of the sea was deafening and terrifying.

The Snow Emperor remained unfazed, calmly watching the two ten-thousand-year-old demonic soul great white sharks collide with the edge of her ice sword, splitting in two and turning into ice sculptures, their forms and spirits utterly destroyed.

As the demonic great white sharks pressed in from a fan shape, a cold killing intent surged in Xue Di's sapphire-like eyes. The range of Di Hantian's domain suddenly expanded, and snowflakes fell like flying knives towards the sharks, blotting out the sky and the sun.

Her imperial name is Xue Wu Yao Yang, which is released in the far north and can rival the sun in brilliance.

After condensing her soul core, she was fearless in group battles. If a group of sharks wanted to die, she would kill them all. She had no habit of showing mercy to her enemies.

"Ice Shadow".

The second soul ring under her feet lit up, and Xue Di's body miraculously disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was standing on the head of a ten-thousand-year-old demon soul great white shark.

With a gentle thrust of her sword, the head of the ten-thousand-year-old demonic great white shark was pierced by a streak of blue light. It twitched twice in agony and then lay still, turning into an ice sculpture.

Along with it, the surrounding sea surface, spanning tens of square meters, was also frozen, and a black spirit ring rose gracefully.

As the demonic great white shark transformed into a work of art, Xue Di's figure appeared like a ghost in other corners of Di Hantian's territory, striking out three swords in the same manner.

The three-headed demonic great white sharks have been killed one after another, turning into ice sculptures, and the death toll continues to rise.

Seeing this, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King was enraged and stopped letting his subordinates die meaninglessly. He activated the Demon Shark Domain and released an advanced skill.

"Crystallize!" the Demon Soul Great White Shark King roared, its body becoming crystalline. Its white skin turned completely transparent with a grayish-blue hue, and the surrounding seawater suddenly stopped under the influence of the special aura, becoming as hard as crystal.

He controlled the changes within his domain, compressing the air, causing the surrounding sea to instantly merge with the sky, and a massive shark tornado roared out from his body, crashing into Di Hantian.

Xue Di remained fearless, her slender body fluttering like a butterfly, gracefully dodging the repeated attacks of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. Then, she used the force against him, causing the energy aftershocks from the collision between Di Hantian and the shark tornado to spread outwards, causing even greater damage to the group of sharks.

In an instant, the sea and sky merged into one color, and the battlefield was filled with swirling snowflakes and raging tornadoes.

"How is this possible?" the Demon Soul Great White Shark King exclaimed. He clearly felt that a portion of the ocean power he had stirred was skillfully neutralized before it even collided with his opponent. His opponent's control over the battle was clearly a level above his own; the only difference was pure power.

"In battles at our level, bringing your people but failing to form a battle formation was your biggest mistake."

Xue Di's voice echoed in the sea. Like a calm ghost hunter, she displayed a combat awareness far beyond her cultivation level. She did not engage in a head-on battle with the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, but only reaped the lives of its subordinates.

Xu Tianxi's battle experiences are still fresh in my mind; the area must be cleared before the final battle.

In a short while, seven or eight out of the hundred or so Demon Soul Great White Sharks fell, leaving a patch of white ice sculptures on the sea surface.

Enraged by his inability to kill the Snow Empress, the Great White Shark King of the Demon Souls condensed his soul power into a human form more suitable for close combat. With a roar, he wielded a shark-headed cleaver and charged towards the Snow Empress.

"Bastard! Don't you know that my Demon Soul Great White Shark clan has sea god's followers? How dare you kill so many of my clansmen!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Di glanced disdainfully at the middle-aged man who appeared to be a demonic soul great white shark king, then killed a thousand-year-old demonic soul great white shark and threw it towards the other party, coldly saying:

“From the moment you ordered them to join the war, they became my enemies; in this life-or-death battle, am I allowed to kill you but not you?”

With a single slash, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King shattered the bodies of its clansmen, and said menacingly, "So what if it is? Since the new Sea God ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago, apart from the evil orca that defiles the ocean and the most powerful deep-sea demon whale, who in the near seas dares to disrespect us?"

"Even they wouldn't dare to easily kill us, the 100,000-year-old Shark King. Don't you even know that?!"

"I never intended to kill you, but since you've said that, I'll truly test my skills!" The Snow Empress, enraged by the other's words, swam and hunted the Demon Soul Great White Shark while calmly saying:

"Your race is second only to the Demonic Orca race in ferocity. As apex predators, what right do you have to say that the Demonic Orca race defiles the sea? Are there few sea spirit beasts that have perished in your mouths? It's just that you are good at bowing your heads and submitting!"

"The Sea God is invincible. The only way out is to rely on the strong. My cousin is the Sea God's mount!" The Demon Soul Great White Shark King didn't care that the other party had exposed him. Instead, he proudly puffed out his chest.

What's wrong with being the Sea God's dog? Among the sea spirit beasts in this ocean, only the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is a favorite of the Sea God.

"A way out? I have never heard of any top experts appearing in your clan. Isn't the strongest sea spirit beast in the near sea that deep-sea demon whale king that is nearly a million years old? Next to it are the sea princess and other top experts from several major races. When did your Demon Soul Great White Shark clan ever have a place? What benefits are there in being the dog of the sea god?"

Xue Di didn't care about the sarcastic remarks at all. If being a dog really had its benefits, that would be fine. But you guys have gotten nothing by following the Sea God and you're still proud of it.

The three Heavenly Kings of the far north all possess some of the Ice God's bloodline, while the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is not a descendant of the Sea God.

Recently, he talked about human history with Xu Tianxi. Before the arrival of the Sea God Tang San, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, who guarded Sea God Island, would lead his people to fight the nearby Demon Orca King every few hundred years to protect Sea God Island from invasion.

Xue Di simply couldn't understand this behavior, which was tantamount to offering extra food to someone else... Had the former Sea God damaged your brain? With so many Title Douluos on Sea God Island not taking action, you're willingly sacrificing your clansmen to fight for them?
After waiting for so long, the new Sea God Tang San finally returned to his position, but then what? He didn't even give the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiao Bai any reward for his hard work over the years.

Xue Di's words seemed to strike a nerve with the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, who flew into a rage and chased after Xue Di with his sword.

"You beast! I will kill you, you bastard who has insulted the honor of my people..."

The Snow Emperor remained silent, relentlessly hunting the Demon Soul Great White Shark. For every few words the Demon Soul Great White Shark King uttered, one of its members would turn into an ice sculpture.

Finally, after a few minutes, all the Demon Soul Great White Sharks turned into sea surface reliefs.

After slaying the sharks, Xue Di, panting heavily, stopped dodging and faced the enraged Demon Soul Great White Shark King head-on. She gathered endless snowflakes in her left palm and lightly slapped them forward.

In an instant, the Emperor's Cold Heaven dissipated, and the spring snowflakes gathered like starlight into this palm. The Snow Emperor's movements were not fast, but it seemed as if he had created an endless world of ice and snow.

In the sky, the clouds broke apart, moving forward along with the force of Xue Di's palm strike.

On the soul-guided ship, Xu Tianxi held the photographic soul-guided device with a fascinated look, recording this historic moment. The Snow Empress's state of oneness with heaven and man was too profound and worth studying for a long time.

Without achieving harmony between heaven and man, viewing the Snow Emperor is like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the bright moon; once one achieves harmony between heaven and man, viewing the Snow Emperor is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

Many things on Earth in my previous life seemed increasingly profound and mysterious the more I studied them; the same was true of the Snow Emperor's concept of harmony between humanity and nature.

"Dang~!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King swung his giant sword and struck the Snow Emperor with his palm. The tactile sensation of the object filled him with ecstasy.

But the next instant, he felt an unparalleled sense of danger, and without hesitation, he discarded his knife and retreated.

However, it's too late.

An unparalleled chill penetrated the Shark King's body along the blade. He felt the extreme cold amidst his hissing, and his soul power avatar convulsed and spasmed uncontrollably.

"Since I became emperor, no one has dared to directly withstand my palm strike for many years. You are the first," the Snow Emperor said, her face pale and somewhat surprised.

Of her three signature moves, the Emperor's Palm: Great Cold Without Snow is the most powerful, but its only limitation is that it must hit the target to be effective.

This palm strike used ninety percent of her soul power and spiritual power.

"Bang~!"

The soul power avatar exploded, and the blood-soaked Demon Soul Great White Shark King returned to the surface of the sea. With a flick of its tail, it turned to escape.

"You wait, just wait, my people will return to seek revenge!"

"The future is too far away; I, the Emperor, will only strive for today!"

The Snow Empress flashed and appeared in front of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips. "You are seriously injured, and my soul power is almost depleted. If you fight, perhaps you can win."

"You! Fine! I'll fight you to the death!"

Driven to the brink by the Snow Empress, the Shark King glanced at Xu Xiaoyun and Kong Deming, who had suddenly appeared in the nearby airspace. Knowing that he would not have a good end today, he made his only and final choice: to open his blood-red maw towards the Snow Empress.

"Well done!"

Snow Empress's eyes shone brightly, her left hand forming a palm print and her right hand wielding the Emperor Sword. Despite her slender and frail body, she fearlessly charged towards the Shark King's bloody maw.

A fierce battle erupted on the sea, with the drifting Snow Empress and the bloodthirsty Shark King locked in a bloody struggle. The sea was churned up, with snowflakes and blood flying everywhere.

The Shark King's shattered body embedded itself in a frozen, frost-covered sea surface, where a blood-red, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring rose.

Xue Di slashed her sword into his dorsal fin, using the sword as a support to keep her exhausted body from collapsing. Crimson blood dripped from the corner of her snow-white lips, her cheeks as white as porcelain, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch, adding a touch of tragic beauty.

She was closing her eyes and sensing something when the Ice and Snow Maiden's light and shadow behind her suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling ice-blue light, and an indescribable transcendent pressure was released from her body.

The Snow Emperor slowly ascended into the air, a haughty and ruthless expression appearing between his brows and eyes, which vanished in an instant. However, the moment their eyes met, even Xu Xiaoyun and Kong Deming felt a chill run down their spines.

The two of them stared at the enormous snow maiden's aura behind her, which was more than twice as powerful, and were secretly alarmed.

They knew that their opponent had succeeded; this was a brand-new martial soul that had awakened the bloodline of the Ice God, possessing limitless potential.

"I wonder how this martial spirit compares to the six-winged angel from ten thousand years ago..."
