Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 110 Absorbing the 100,000-Year-Old Snow Lotus

Core area, frozen canyon!

As soon as Bingdi returned, he saw a group of soul beasts aged 100,000 years or more, including Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King Xiaobai, Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, and Frost Snow Lion King, surrounding a level nine soul master with stern eyes.

Ice Emperor landed in front of the ninth-level Soul Master, her cold gaze fixed on him, and asked Little White beside her, "What's going on? How come there are humans here?"

"I don't know how he found this place."

Xiao Bai shook his head, staring coldly at the ninth-level Soul Master, and said, "But his goal is very clear: to freeze the canyon."

"Gulu!"

The level nine soul master looked at the Ice Empress who had landed in front of him, and listened to her conversation with Xiao Bai. He subconsciously swallowed.

I felt like crying but had no tears left!

He is a level nine Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire, and his Martial Soul is Celestial Phenomenon.

Some time ago, he used a martial soul secret technique that could be used once a year to observe the celestial phenomena at night. He discovered that a soul beast had taken human form in the far north. He rushed over, wanting to use the Conferred God Platform he had researched to capture the transformed soul beast and sell it for a good price to continue his research on soul tools.

But who the hell knew that as soon as he arrived at the Frozen Canyon, he was immediately surrounded by a group of soul beasts that were 100,000 years old or older!
And if that were all, it would be fine, but who knew that in no time, the Ice Emperor, one of the top ten ferocious beasts on the continent, also arrived!

The level nine soul master looked ahead to see the Ice Emperor, who was 400,000 years old; looked to his left to see the Titan Snow Demon King, who was over 200,000 years old; and looked to his right to see the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, who was over 200,000 years old.

He turned around and looked back. There were nearly ten 100,000-year-old soul beasts, including the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, the Frost Snow Lion King, and the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King, blocking his retreat.

Ice Emperor, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King, and Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, among nearly ten other 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

This kind of spectacle is enough to trigger a beast tide!

Let alone a Soul Master who has only been promoted to level nine for less than two years, even if Kong Deming came, he would have a hard time if he were the Soul Master who was closest to level ten.

"My life is over!"

The ninth-level Soul Master closed his eyes in despair.

tired!

Destroy it!
Ice Emperor's crystal-yellow pupils stared coldly at him, then gestured to Titan Snow Demon King beside him.

Regardless of how this human Soul Master sneaked over or what his purpose was, killing him is the only solution!

Titan Snow Demon King stretched out his hands and slapped the head of the ninth-level Soul Master hard.

Instantly, red and white liquid splashed everywhere.

Immediately following, with a soft 'thud,' a headless corpse fell to the ground.

The Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King immediately stepped forward, grabbed the corpse of the ninth-level Soul Master, and began to eat it.

Soul Masters benefit greatly from eating Soul Beast meat, and the same applies to Soul Beasts eating Soul Master meat.

The flesh and blood of a level nine Soul Master is to a Soul Beast no less valuable than the energy of a ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus.

"Bah, bah bah!"

The Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King had just taken two bites when it suddenly felt something prick it. It spat out a delicate ring stained with blood.

Xiao Bai looked at the ring for a moment, then walked over and picked it up.

"What do you need human things for?" the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King asked curiously upon seeing this scene.

"This looks like something a human soul master would use to store things. I've seen it on Xiao Han before."

Xiao Bai explained, "I'm leaving it for Xiao Han; he might find it useful."

"I just saw him!"

Upon hearing him mention Dugu Han, Bingdi recalled the Eight-Cornered Beast behind Dugu Han and said with some regret, "He also had a plant-based soul beast called Eight-Cornered Beast by his side. It possessed incomparably pure and ultimate ice attribute, and a cultivation of 100,000 years. It's a pity..."

It must be offered as a sacrifice to Dugu Han; otherwise, if I were to eat it, I would gain great benefits.

"Sacrifice?"

Xiao Bai's eyes widened when he heard this word.

Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, and other soul beasts were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Even the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King stopped what he was doing and stared at the Ice Emperor in shock.

Sacrifice is almost equivalent to death!
They could hardly imagine that in this world, there would be soul beasts offering sacrifices to humans.

"I didn't understand what it was talking about, like bonds or something. All I remember is that it said it could revive Dugu Han after he becomes a god."

Ice Emperor thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Dugu Han that he also found a divine position inheritance."

"Divine succession!"

Xiao Bai, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, and a group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts all gasped in shock.

He stared wide-eyed at Hyotei.

"That's what Dugu Han said anyway, otherwise that guy named Bajiao wouldn't have offered himself as a sacrifice to him."

After explaining, Ice Emperor looked at Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King, reminded him not to run around after eating, and then flew into the Frozen Canyon.

Titan Snow Demon King, Little White, Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King and other soul beasts were stunned for a moment before they quickly followed.

Although they were shocked to hear from the Ice Emperor that Dugu Han had also found the divine throne, protecting the Snow Emperor was still more important to them at the moment.

The group of soul beasts flew straight to a large, snow-white cocoon inside the Ice God Palace.

While idly standing in front of the giant cocoon, the group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts started discussing Dugu Han's discovery of the divine throne inheritance.

After discussing it for a while, the Titan Snow Demon King glanced at the large, snow-white cocoon and couldn't help but ask, "It's been so long, how much longer will it take for the Snow Empress to transform into human form?"

"Do you think it's a 100,000-year-old soul beast that can transform into human form so easily?!"

Xiao Bai sat on the other side, glanced at it, and said, "Even with the Snow Emperor's 700,000 years of cultivation, it's impossible for her to transform into human form so easily, even with the help of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow."

"I can no longer sense Xue Di's presence at all!"

Hyotei sensed the energy inside the giant cocoon and said, "It should be soon. Let's wait!"

"Isn't this boring!"

Titan Snow Demon King muttered something, but didn't say anything more.

...On the other side!
Dugu Han and Xue Lao followed Bajiao to a snow-capped mountain that was right next to the Arctic Ice Sea.

"is it here?"

Dugu Han looked at the snow-capped mountain in front of him and frowned.

The snow-capped mountains are nothing special; their height of five or six hundred meters is quite common in the far north.

It doesn't seem like a place where a treasure like a 100,000-year-old snow lotus could exist.

"right here!"

Bajiao circled around Dugu Han, boasting, "That 100,000-year-old snow lotus is located at the very bottom of this snow mountain. It's incredibly good at hiding. I searched for a very, very long time before I finally found it."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Dugu Han touched the extremely cold ice crystal on the head of the octagon, and then signaled Elder Xue to start digging.

Elder Xue immediately activated his Martial Soul Possession and used his seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a giant Xuan Turtle to begin digging.

Although the snow mountain was frozen solid year-round, it was still able to quickly excavate a huge cave with the help of the Title Douluo's Martial Soul True Body.

Dugu Han followed Bajiao inside.

When Xue Lao had dug two hundred meters into the ground, Bajiao called out to him, reminding him, "That's about enough. I'll go down and take a look first."

After saying that, it simply disappeared down there.

Not long after, he resurfaced, excitedly saying, "It's right here. Just dig down a hundred meters."

"Row!"

Old Xue began digging downwards.

Perhaps because of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, the soil underneath is much firmer.

Old Xue dug for a full hour before finally reaching a tiny, extremely cold ice cave, about twenty or thirty cubic meters in size.

Dugu Han immediately jumped in after Bajiao.

As soon as you step into the ice cave, a bone-chilling cold hits you.

But Dugu Han was completely unaware, his gaze fixed on a snow lotus in the center of the ice cave, its body radiating a cool blue light.

That snow lotus was like an ice spirit, standing alone in the center of the ice cave.

Its petals are broad and expansive, each one meticulously carved like the finest mutton-fat jade, with a smooth and delicate texture, free of any impurities. Under the blue light, it seems as if one can see through the veins within. The edges of the petals curl naturally, as if gently swayed by a breeze, carrying a lively rhythm.

At the stamen of the flower, a few drops of milky white liquid, gleaming with an otherworldly luster, were held.

Its stem is straight and slender, like a flawless jade pillar, supporting the entire snow lotus.

It is covered with a layer of fine ice crystals, emitting a dreamlike faint halo. Its leaves are translucent, with clearly visible veins, just like they are woven from ice silk, exuding a cold and ethereal aura.

Above the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, there is a strange, rhomboid-octagonal crystal that is imprisoning it.

"This is an octagonal mystic ice crystal that I have cultivated over the past ten thousand years. It can prevent it from escaping."

Bajiao stepped forward, controlling his Bajiao Xuanbing Crystal, and flew to Dugu Han's side, explaining, "It is part of my essence over the past 100,000 years. The purity and concentration of its ice attribute far surpasses any treasure in the world. You can fuse it into your external soul bone."

"Row!"

With a smile, Dugu Han collected the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal, whose ice attribute aura was even purer than that of the Ten Thousand Year Xuanbing Marrow, into the Moon Goddess's Tear.

Then we walked to the 100,000-year-old snow lotus.

The 100,000-year-old snow lotus did not develop its own consciousness, but its instinct made it want to run away.

However, as soon as it made a move, it was immediately suppressed by the octagon and dared not move.

Although the eight-cornered herb is not strong in combat, as a celestial herb with a cultivation of 100,000 years, it has a natural sense of oppression over plants.

Especially for ice-type plants.

Dugu Han reached out and grabbed the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, uprooting it completely. He then looked at Elder Xue, who had already withdrawn from his Martial Soul True Body, and said, "Elder Xue, I'll absorb it here. Please keep watch outside for me."

"Young master, rest assured, this old servant will not allow anyone to disturb you."

After finishing speaking, Xue Lao walked out.

Dugu Han then looked at Bajiao and said, "I will absorb this 100,000-year-old snow lotus first. When I have absorbed it to a certain extent, you can offer it to me. In this way, with the help of your power and the power of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, my ice attribute strength may be able to surpass the ultimate level."

"Uh-huh!"

Bajiao nodded solemnly.

Then Dugu Han sat cross-legged and put the 100,000-year-old snow lotus into his mouth.

The snow lotus melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into an extremely pure and powerful ice-attribute spiritual energy that surged through Dugu Han's body like a raging torrent.

In that instant, Dugu Han felt as if countless barbed ice needles were slashing through his meridians, causing excruciating pain.

Every inch of skin felt as if it were being torn apart by the extreme cold, and the meridians of the limbs and bones were constantly being impacted by the massive energy torrent of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus.

The immense ice-attribute energy of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus surged wildly within his body, causing his meridians to crack and pop like broken water pipes, as if they were about to rupture completely at any moment.

Even his meridians, which had been strengthened through the trials of life, seemed to be about to burst.

Dugu Han's internal organs were also affected by this powerful energy wave, as if they were being repeatedly hammered by a heavy hammer. Waves of excruciating pain washed over him, almost suffocating him.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but were instantly frozen into ice beads by the cold air emanating from his body, and fell down in a flurry.

He clenched his teeth, his gums bleeding, and his lower lip turned blue from biting so hard, trying his best not to make a sound.

His body instinctively wanted to curl up and fall to the ground, but Dugu Han straightened his spine and sat steadily cross-legged, beginning to absorb the immense energy of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus little by little.

Outside, the temperature inside the ice cave dropped sharply, and sharp, thick icicles quickly formed on the cave walls, while the ground was covered with a thick layer of solid ice.

As Dugu Han slowly absorbed the energy of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, a faint layer of ice patterns began to appear on the surface of his skin. These ice patterns moved slowly like living things, emitting wisps of cold air.

His hair was gradually covered with frost, each strand standing up as if it were made of ice silk.

Within his martial soul origin, the frost dragon that had been quietly residing there had now fallen into a deep sleep.

The immense energy of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus tightly enveloped it.
