Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 273 Hyotei's Request

The enormous commotion caused by the stampede of dozens of giant beasts was like thunder rumbling across the icy plains.

Before Xiaobai and the other soul beasts even arrived, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan had already become aware of their presence.

"king!"

An 80,000-year-old ice-jade scorpion looked at the ice-jade scorpion king.

Before Hyotei froze itself, it specifically instructed that the throne be passed on to it.

"I'll go out and take a look!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King emerged from the cave.

Ice Bear King, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King...

As it looked at the group of soul beasts coming towards it, it suddenly noticed the two humans standing on top of Little White's head.

One male and one female.

"That's... Dugu Han!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King recognized Dugu Han, and a hint of sadness inevitably appeared in his eyes.

Dugu Han's arrival means that Hyotei is about to begin its sacrifice!

"How could it be so fast!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King stared sadly at Dugu Han, who was standing on top of Little White's head.

If possible, it would be best if Dugu Han never appeared.

Even though Hyotei was frozen in the ice, at least she was still alive.

Soon, Xiaobai led Dugu Han and the other person to the Ice Jade Scorpion King.

It quickly shrank its enormous size.

"Ice Jade Scorpion King!"

Dugu Han jumped down with Wu Ming and then said, "I want to see the Ice Emperor."

"The king has been waiting for you!"

"Come with me!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King lowered its head and walked into the cave.

"It seems to be in a bad mood!"

Looking at its somewhat sorrowful figure, Wu Ming spoke.

"Shh!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Dugu Han shook his head at her, then quickly followed.

After navigating through the winding caves, we soon arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

The entire Ice Jade Scorpion clan gathered here, their expressions sorrowful as they gazed at a block of solid ice radiating an aura of extreme cold.

Inside the solid ice was Hyotei's collapsing body.

Her once beautiful emerald green body was now completely shattered, revealing bloodied flesh inside. The tip of her long tail had broken off piece by piece, hanging limply, with only her skin still barely holding it together.

"The king has been waiting for you!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King gazed at the frozen Ice Emperor and spoke to Dugu Han.

Dugu Han stared at Bingdi's collapsing body for a moment, then said softly, "Help me wake her up!"

Ice Jade Scorpion King glanced at him, somewhat reluctantly.

"This is what Hyotei ordered," Shiro said.

Titan Snow Demon King also said, "Sacrificing the Ice Emperor to him is the best choice, and we can resurrect him after he becomes a god in the future, so we can share eternal life with him."

"I know!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King glanced at Dugu Han again, then lowered its head and stepped forward, placing its giant claws on the solid ice containing the Ice Emperor.

A moment later, Hyotei, who was sleeping inside, suddenly moved her eyelids and then opened her eyes, revealing her crystal-yellow pupils.

Her gaze swept over her own kind, then fell upon Little White, Titan Snow Demon King, and the other soul beasts.

When she saw Dugu Han, she paused for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "You've come!"

"I know everything!"

Dugu Han thought for a moment and said, "The Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King said that you burned too much of your cultivation, which caused your body to collapse."

"Correct!"

"Even if I had the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to restore my burning cultivation, my already collapsed physical body could not withstand the restoration of my cultivation!"

"But you don't need to worry!"

Ice Emperor said in a low voice, "Although I burned my cultivation and may not be able to provide you with a 400,000-year soul ring, my soul bone is definitely a 400,000-year soul bone, and there is a high probability that I can give you an Ice Seal Technique that matches Ice Explosion Technique."

"Ice Seal?"

Dugu Han was taken aback upon hearing this, as this was the first time he had heard that the Ice Explosion Technique also had a corresponding soul skill.

However, these things are not important now, so he didn't think about them anymore.

"I can offer a sacrifice for you, but you must agree to one condition."

Ice Emperor continued, "Our far north needs someone capable of fighting against Limit Douluo, otherwise, when facing those top human soul masters, our far north is just a lamb to the slaughter."

At this point, she glanced apologetically at Xiaobai, then turned her gaze to Titan Snow Demon King.

Compared to Xiaobai, Titan Snow Demon King, who possesses both the bloodlines of the Ice God and Titan, is undoubtedly more likely to become the one who can contend with the Limit Douluo.

"If we're talking about the same age group, Artest's strength is no weaker than mine."

Hyotei instructed, "Therefore, I hope that you can help it break through the 400,000-year age limit in the future."

"ice King!"

Titan Snow Demon King never expected that at this final moment, Ice Emperor would not only fail to plan for his own race, but instead choose himself.

Little White also looked at Hyotei in surprise, but there was some resentment in its eyes.

In terms of relationships, it should be the Hyotei that has a better relationship with Hyotei.

"Little Bai, your potential is enough to break through 300,000 years with the help of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, but breaking through 400,000 years is too difficult!"

Hyotei shook its head apologetically at Shiro.

As one of the Three Kings of the Far North, she had to consider the entire Far North region.

Xiao Bai opened his mouth, but couldn't think of any reason to defend himself.

To be fair, the Titan Snow Demon race has far greater potential than the Ice Bear race.

Taking the two of them breaking through the 200,000-year time limit as an example, it was able to break through with the help of the Snow Emperor, while the Titan Snow Demon King broke through entirely on its own.

Then Hyotei looked at Dugu Han, who had been staring at her in deep thought, and asked, "Can you promise me?" "Promise what?"

Dugu Han had just come to his senses.

"I'll have you help Titan Snow Demon King break through the 400,000-year limit in the future," Wu Ming whispered a reminder.

Hyotei then noticed the human, but didn't say much, only looking at Dugu Han with hopeful eyes.

Dugu Han stared silently at her collapsing body without saying a word.

He shook his head after a long while.

Hyotei felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this.

"What are you doing!"

"Agree to it first, whether you can do it or not!"

Wu Ming couldn't help but tug at Dugu Han's arm, signaling him to quickly agree.

After all, this was a sacrifice from Hyotei!
"I know it well!"

Dugu Han patted her little hand, signaling her not to rush, then looked at the collapsing body of the Ice Emperor and pondered, "Perhaps things are not that serious, and it hasn't come to the point of sacrifice yet."

"Ok?"

All the soul beasts were stunned upon hearing this.

Hyotei looked at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

"What do you mean?"

Ice Jade Scorpion King suddenly asked urgently.

It vaguely sensed that things might be taking a turn for the better.

"I possess a priceless treasure!"

Dugu Han flipped his hand, and a blood-red elixir immediately appeared in his palm.

"This is the seed of blood and qi, a remnant of a demigod. It is absolutely the most perfect treasure in the world for repairing the body."

"hiss!"

Upon hearing the word 'demigod', all the soul beasts gasped in shock.

Demi god!

We have already come into contact with God!
Even spirit beasts know how terrifying this kind of existence is.

"But Ice Emperor is a soul beast after all, so I'm not sure if it will be useful, or if it might even harm Ice Emperor." Dugu Han hesitated.

"Whether it works or not, let's give it a try!" the Ice Jade Scorpion King said excitedly.

"Try it!"

A desire to live also ignited in Hyotei's eyes.

Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, who would choose to sacrifice themselves if they could continue to live?
What she didn't expect was that Dugu Han would take out such a treasure at this critical moment.

You must know she is the Ice Emperor; her sacrifice is something countless Soul Masters dream of.

"why?"

Hyotei looked at Dugu Han with great confusion.

"what why?"

"Why bring out such a treasure? You should know that as long as you don't say anything, no one will know. You can also obtain my sacrifice and the soul bone of 400,000 years."

The Ice Emperor was very puzzled by this, as a soul bone that was 400,000 years old was unique in the entire history of human soul masters.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai and the others also looked at Dugu Han.

"Because I don't lack it!"

Dugu Han slowly shook his head, meeting the gazes of the group of soul beasts.

The soul bones of the Evil Emperor, the Sea Princess, the Bear Lord, the King of Ten Thousand Demons... are no less powerful than those of the Ice Emperor.

Moreover, even if Ice Emperor sacrificed so much of his cultivation, he could only provide Ice Emperor with a soul ring that lasts for about 100,000 years.

On the other hand, considering the divinely bestowed soul ring, given his current physical strength, once he breaks through level 80, the divinely bestowed soul ring can definitely grant him a 400,000-year soul ring, and it will be the most suitable soul skill.

Of course, the most important reason is that the far north needs the Ice Emperor even more than he does.

"You don't lack anything? What a boastful tone!"

“But I like it!”

A strange light flashed in Hyotei's eyes as she stared at Dugu Han: "Give it a try. If you succeed, I, Hyotei, will owe you a life. If you fail, I will still sacrifice myself for you."

"Little White, you lead them out first."

Dugu Han glanced at the numerous soul beasts and the entire Ice Jade Scorpion clan gathered there, and gestured for Xiaobai to take them away.

Upon hearing this, the group of soul beasts, without needing Xiaobai to speak, consciously walked outside.

"please!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King led its clan to stand up and, mimicking humans, bowed to Dugu Han.

"I'll try my best!"

Dugu Han nodded, then instructed Wu Ming, "You should go out too, but stay by Xiaobai's side and don't say anything out of line. They're both feeling quite depressed right now."

"Don't worry, I know what's important."

Wu Ming leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then smiled and said, "Good luck!"

"Go!"

Dugu Han smiled, and after she left, he held the Seed of Qi and Blood and walked up to the Ice Emperor.

"I believe you!" Hyotei said softly.

"I believe in myself too!"

Dugu Han took a deep breath, and his soul power surged out, instantly activating the Blood Seed.

After the seed of blood and qi was activated, a bright crimson light shone forth, instantly illuminating the entire cave in a crimson hue.

"I can feel the enormous energy inside, but this energy doesn't seem to be soul power."

Hyotei stared at the radiant seed of blood and qi, an energy she had never seen before in her countless years of life.

"It's the power of qi and blood!"

"Everyone and every soul beast has it, but they just don't know how to use it."

While explaining the wonders of Qi and Blood Power, Dugu Han controlled the Qi and Blood Seed to approach the solid ice, including the Ice Emperor.

The solid ice was formed by the Ice Emperor using the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in his last use of the Ice Sealing Technique. It is exceptionally strong, and even a Title Douluo cannot break it in a short time.

However, this incredibly solid ice began to melt in just a short time after the seed of blood and qi approached.
