Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 174 Changes in the Far North
"The temperature had been warming up recently, so why is it so cold again today!"

"This year is really strange; this awful weather has happened three times in a row." At a hotel in Beibing City, many Soul Masters who were planning to go to the Frozen Forest looked at the snow falling outside the door. Although the temperature hadn't dropped as much as it had a month ago, it was still quite cold.

Although the temperature in Beibing City fluctuates somewhat, it is not significant. The recent three major temperature changes have surprised the soul masters of Beibing City.

"I heard that a 100,000-year-old soul beast has appeared in the Frozen Forest. Don't forget what happened in the Heaven Dou Imperial City. Those people had red soul rings, which they very likely obtained in the Frozen Forest."

"Ling Wei and the Demon Sword! They are truly terrifying!" A Soul Saint with a 100,000-year Soul Ring, and Bing Ling even possessing two 100,000-year Soul Rings, the fact that a Soul Saint could fight against a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year Soul Ring could not be kept secret and shocked the entire Soul Master world in a short period of time.

"I heard that they entered the Frozen Forest again recently, probably to hunt down 100,000-year-old soul beasts again. They are..." The speaker's voice became very soft, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast! That's a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone!" A look of longing flashed in everyone's eyes, but in the end, their eyes cleared up. If a 100,000-year-old soul beast were really that easy to deal with, then a 100,000-year-old soul ring wouldn't be the number one treasure on the soul master's dream list.

"I see. So, is this weather change another one?" Everyone nodded silently. The last time there was a temperature change was when Bingling and Mojian left the Frozen Forest. If this change has occurred again when they re-enter the Frozen Forest, then it's probably true.
At a corner, a man dressed in golden soft armor, with a somewhat effeminate and beautiful appearance, stood silently, his eyes fixed on the distant frozen forest.

The information about whether the Frozen Forest possesses a 100,000-year-old soul beast is extremely important, and now Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, has become a Soul Saint.

Furthermore, the seventh spirit ring absorbed a spirit ring with a lifespan of nearly 70,000 years, which was a level higher than the previous one. More importantly, the spirit beast even dropped a leg bone.

While a seventh soul ring with a lifespan of 70,000 years may not be as impressive as those few individuals, it is still extremely rare.

Such a lifespan is something only Soul Douluos, no, even most Soul Douluos, dare not absorb.

After all, most of the titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall only have a ninth spirit ring age of over 80,000 years, and titled Douluo like Dugu Bo only have a ninth spirit ring age of over 70,000 years.

If the seventh spirit ring can absorb a spirit ring of such a long lifespan, then the eighth spirit ring can indeed absorb a spirit ring of 100,000 years.

Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed inwardly, "The Pope is really generous. He gave Hu Liena two 100,000-year soul bones directly. Now Hu Liena has two 100,000-year soul bones, a skull that is more than 50,000 years old and a leg bone that is 70,000 years old."

His soul power is approaching that of a Soul Douluo, and it has been quite some time since he obtained his eighth soul ring.

The eighth spirit ring will likely drop a 100,000-year-old torso bone from the hunting of that 100,000-year-old spirit beast. After absorbing the 100,000-year-old torso bone, absorbing the 100,000-year-old spirit ring will no longer be a problem.

Therefore, it would be necessary to find another 100,000-year-old soul beast to prepare for her ninth soul ring.

There is very little information about 100,000-year-old soul beasts on the mainland, so we must find out more in advance.

How could so many geniuses have emerged in this era? The older generation of powerhouses pale in comparison to them. Now, some theories in the entire Soul Master world have been overturned. According to Hu Liena's understanding and interaction with Ding Quan and the others' Soul Skills, the Spirit Hall believes that their Soul Skill combinations are too extreme. The path they are taking is not suitable for ordinary Soul Masters, but only for top geniuses.

Even top geniuses would find it difficult to reach that level.

Suddenly, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed drastically.

Old Ghost is in danger!
A powerful surge of soul energy suddenly appeared, and the people around felt a weight on their bodies as they watched in horror as a golden figure vanished.

At this moment, on the edge of the far north, several people were frantically fleeing for their lives.

Most of these people possessed the best possible configuration of seven spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, and three black. Clearly, this was a team composed of individuals whose strength had reached the level of a Soul Saint.

At the very back, a being with nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—was fighting against a colossal creature. The combined power of their auras forced these Soul Saints to flee in disarray.

Titan Ape?

This was an existence even more terrifying than the Titan Ape. Several Soul Saints looked at this snow-white giant ape, which was eighty or ninety meters tall when standing, and felt the aura emanating from it, as well as the ice storm that formed around it. Their eyes showed no desire to resist it.

Elder Ghost was actually being beaten down by it, even though he was a Super Douluo with a strength of level 95!

Could this enormous creature be a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
The faint white soul power surrounding this soul beast seemed to indicate that it possessed a domain!

This is something that only a 100,000-year-old soul beast can possess.

Ghost Douluo's eyes were now filled with disbelief. He never expected that a terrifying being with the bloodline of the Titan Giant Ape would be hidden outside this frozen forest.

Although I cannot be completely certain of the age of this soul beast, I can roughly tell that it has not reached the level of 100,000 years.

Even if it hasn't reached 100,000 years, it shouldn't be far off. A soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape can contend with a 10,000-year soul beast in a hundred years, and its strength is already no weaker than a Title Douluo in tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, such a colossal creature was completely beyond the reach of his attacks.

"First Soul Skill - Ghost Shadow Clone! Fourth Soul Skill - Ghost Shadow!" A purple soul ring lit up on Ghostly's body, and then a ghost shadow flashed across his body. Instantly, the two of them accelerated and ran in two different directions.

Damn!

It actually came straight for its own body. Ghostly looked at the huge fist swinging towards it, and seeing that the other party disregarded its ghostly clone, its soul power surged again, barely dodging the opponent's ice-covered fist.

Just as they were feeling relieved, the ice and snow attacked the ghost directly.

The chilling aura made the ghost's movements somewhat stiff.

Such powerful ice properties! I am suppressed under its domain, and my movements are affected by this cold aura.

"Seventh Soul Skill - Ghostly True Form!" Without hesitation, Ghostly released his seventh soul skill, instantly transforming his form into a completely illusory ghostly shadow without any physical substance.

The stiffness on his body and the ice that had formed on his body disappeared and fell away, leaving wisps of black energy floating erratically in the white forest.

Ouch!

Titan Snow Demon let out a roar, and an invisible sound wave spread outwards. At the same time, a white domain spread outwards. When Ghost Douluo saw this, his face darkened.

Immediately, his sixth spirit ring lit up!
Hiss~ Howl~
A sinister and eerie shrill roar emanated from the ghostly figure, mingling with the roar of the Titan Ape.

"Sixth Soul Skill - Eerie Roar!"

Ghost Douluo watched as his soul skill blocked the opponent's sonic attack. This giant white Titan Ape actually possessed mental attributes. Saintess Hu Liena's demon fox martial soul also possessed mental attributes. This soul beast might be very suitable for her.

Such formidable strength!
Before the ghost could think any further, a huge fist came hurtling towards it again.

Such a massive size, yet such swift movements—if I weren't an agility-based Soul Master, and if Yue Guan, that plant-based offensive Soul Master, were to come, I might already be on my knees.

With the powerful amplification of his Martial Soul True Body, the pressure on Ghostly Demon decreased dramatically, allowing him to protect the Soul Saints of the Spirit Hall. This Titan Giant Ape with ice attributes might be no weaker than the Titan Giant Ape of the Star Dou Great Forest, and it would be even more difficult to deal with in this icy and snowy environment.

Such a large-scale attack left low-level Soul Masters with no chance to intervene.

I've seen this ice storm skill used by someone before.

Could it be that one of her red spirit rings came from such a terrifying spirit beast?

Upon seeing how agile the ghost was, the Titan Snow Demon roared, and its white domain instantly expanded, forming an even stronger ice storm around it.

Ghost dared not be careless. A flash of soul power appeared on his feet, and his speed suddenly increased. He once again became entangled with Titan Snow Demon.

Ghost Douluo was, after all, a level 95 agility-type Super Douluo. Even if he couldn't hurt Titan Snow Demon, his speed was so fast that Titan Snow Demon had difficulty attacking him. However, as time passed, Ghost Douluo showed signs of weakness. In this icy and snowy world, Titan Snow Demon seemed to have no energy expenditure at all, and the ice storm grew stronger and stronger.

We can't let this drag on any longer.

Ghost looked at the enormous creature before him. Its power was undiminished, and he was being suppressed within its domain. The ice attribute was too strong. Even with his Martial Soul True Body, his speed was not as good as before.

Although I am fast, my opponent is not slower, but his large size makes him less agile.

"Old Ghost!" Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a golden figure rushed over from afar.

"Be careful, this guy is powerful, don't fight him head-on!" Ghost felt relieved when he heard this voice.

"I know!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was also secretly shocked. There was such a huge creature in such a remote place, and this soul beast even had a domain.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which looks somewhat feminine, but his soul power is masculine. His appearance is a perfect example of yang giving rise to yin.

In this frigid land, his soul power was significantly weakened by the extreme cold, so he did not travel with Ghost Douluo on this trip.

The purpose of this trip was only to find out if they possessed a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and there was no intention to take action. With Ghost Douluo's speed, he could easily protect himself. That's why Chrysanthemum Douluo stayed in the Ice City. He never expected there to be such a guy.

"Don't be careless, my attacks are ineffective against it, you can't fight it head-on!"

Roar!
Upon seeing another Title Douluo appear, Titan Snow Demon roared once more, and a blizzard swept towards Chrysanthemum Douluo!

"This!" With such a wide-ranging attack, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned somewhat ugly. Unlike Ghostly Phantom, who could transform into a ghostly shadow without a physical form when releasing his Martial Soul True Body, Chrysanthemum Douluo was not like Ghostly Phantom.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's figure covered by the icy storm, Ghostly Strike quickly headed towards Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Cough!" Although Chrysanthemum Douluo withstood the attack of ice and snow, his body was frozen with a layer of ice. More importantly, this ice storm could continue.

How come such a terrifying creature has never been recorded before? This behemoth's strength has surpassed that of the Thousand-Pound Ant King of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is a soul beast that has reached the age of 100,000.

What the two were unaware of was that the Titan Snow Demon possessed the bloodline of the ancient Ice God, which was a super soul beast. Such soul beasts would usually awaken their domain after tens of thousands of years.

Super Soul Beasts, like those with ultimate attributes, can surpass the strength of two Soul Rings. In other words, a Titan Snow Demon around 50,000 years old can rival an ordinary 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, let alone one that is already 90,000 years old.

With the addition of Titan Snow Demon's Snow Demon Domain and his own immense soul power, the boost to his strength in this icy and snowy landscape was immense.

"Old ghost!"

"I know!" Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice, Ghostly's nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—expanded dramatically, and his aura surged.

At the same time, Chrysanthemum Douluo's body erupted with golden soul power, and the number of soul rings on his body also began to increase dramatically, no longer arranged in an orderly manner as before.

Upon witnessing this strange scene, a strange glint flashed in the Titan Snow Demon's enormous eyes, but then a white light suddenly shone from them.

An invisible mental fluctuation swept out instantly. Titan Snow Demon, a powerful soul beast with mental attributes, had a mental capacity that was no less than that of a human after 90,000 years. The surge in the aura of the two people made it feel threatened, so it naturally wouldn't let them release their power.

"Ah~!" A sharp, painful sound came from Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth, and his movements stopped instantly.

Damn it! This guy even has mental attack abilities!
Ghost felt his head explode as well. Although the attack did not threaten the two of them, their martial soul fusion skill - the Two Extremes Stillness Domain - was interrupted!
boom!
A giant fist swung towards Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul power condensed, and he was directly sent flying by Titan Snow Demon's punch.

"Yue Guan!" Ghostly Demon was furious when he saw Chrysanthemum Douluo being slammed to the ground, sending up a flurry of snowflakes.

"Ninth Soul Skill - Hellish Wraith!" The last black soul ring on his body lit up, and the Titan Snow Demon instantly turned dark. At the same time, several huge black hands reached out from it and grabbed at the Titan Snow Demon.

However, the Titan Snow Demon was simply too enormous in size and extremely powerful. As the Titan Snow Demon struggled fiercely, these giant hands quickly dissipated.

However, this bought him a lot of time. He came to Chrysanthemum Douluo and helped him up. Fortunately, the Title Douluo's soul power was solid, so although Chrysanthemum Douluo was injured, his injuries were not serious.

The two then looked solemnly at the Titan Snow Demon, who had broken free; this guy's strength exceeded their expectations.

Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure came from afar, and an even more terrifying chill swept over, making the surrounding ice and snow storm seem to calm down.

Chrysanthemum Douluo felt the suppression on his body. What kind of terrifying guy was this? And what about this aura?
Titan Snow Demon seemed to sense something and stopped attacking, instead turning to look behind it.

"Could this be?!" Ghost Douluo felt the pressure on his body. This soul power was so familiar, yet it also filled him with terror!
"Two, long time no see!"

Eight terrifying soul rings—one yellow, two purple, two black, and three red—appeared in the sky above the Titan Snow Demon's head, enveloping the surroundings with a terrifying pressure. The massive Titan Snow Demon also restrained its aura, and the surrounding ice storm slowly dissipated under this terrifying pressure.

"It's you!" Ghost Douluo looked at the person who had appeared there, and was surprised to see Bing Ling!

Indeed, they did disappear into the Frozen Forest. They never expected to encounter her here, but how could her strength be so terrifying now?

"I'm quite surprised to see two seniors here?" Ling looked at the two Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall in front of him. It seemed that the recent activities in the far north had indeed attracted a lot of attention.

The aura he sensed was indeed that of Ghost Douluo. They must have come to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but they never expected to encounter this Titan Snow Demon.

“We never imagined there was such a place outside this frozen forest.” Ghost Douluo looked at Ling with a solemn expression. This place, which few soul masters had ever set foot in, actually had such terrifying soul beasts, and there must be even more powerful beings in the depths.

For example, the Titan Ape that was 100,000 years old and snow-white!
