Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 78 Twenty Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts
Seeing this, Titan Snow Demon King abandoned his idea of ​​killing Zhang Lexuan directly, and instead said in a deep voice, "Let her go back, I will find a member of my tribe to watch over her."

"Let that 100,000-year-old ice bear come!"

Dugu Han pointed to the 100,000-year-old ice bear from before.

Xiao Bai summoned the 100,000-year-old ice bear and coldly ordered, "Send this woman back. If she does anything wrong, kill her."

"it is good!"

The 100,000-year-old ice bear nodded and looked at Zhang Lexuan with hostility.

"take it easy!"

Dugu Han placed the Snow Emperor Token in Zhang Lexuan's hand and said softly, "Your ice house has collapsed. After you go back with it, live in my ice house. No matter what happens outside, don't go out. If you feel bored, you can ask them to help you get some ice blocks and make some ice sculptures to pass the time."

"it is good!"

Zhang Lexuan gripped the Snow Emperor Token tightly in her hand.

She didn't know what had happened, but she did notice the unfriendly look in Titan Snow Demon King's eyes.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel touched that Dugu Han had subconsciously protected him behind him.

This was the first time since her family was wiped out that someone had stood up for her.

Unlike when she first encountered the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King upon entering the core area of ​​the far north, Dugu Han stood in front of her.

This time, she truly felt the gaze of the Titan Snow Demon King, who wanted to kill her outright.

"Let's go back!"

Dugu Han looked at Zhang Lexuan with a reassuring smile and said, "Remember what I said, stay in my ice house, hang the Snow Emperor Token at the door, and don't wander off anywhere."

"I know, you need to be careful too!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded seriously, then took a deep breath and followed the 100,000-year-old ice bear into the ice house.

After Zhang Lexuan flew away, Dugu Han looked at Xiaobai and Titan Snow Demon King and asked, "I sensed an incredibly powerful aura over there. Is the Ice Emperor preparing to undergo tribulation?"

"You can sense the aura of the Ice Emperor here?" Titan Snow Demon King looked at Dugu Han in surprise.

Dugu Han didn't speak, but directly released his already materialized mental power.

Upon sensing Dugu Han's spiritual power, the Titan Snow Demon King's eyes widened instantly: "How can a human like you possess such powerful spiritual power?"

"I've encountered some opportunities!"

Dugu Han didn't say much, but asked with a solemn expression, "So, is the Ice Emperor preparing to undergo tribulation?"

“That’s right, the Ice Emperor is preparing to undergo a 400,000-year tribulation!” Xiaobai nodded.

"Then can I go and have a look?"

"can!"

Xiao Bai readily agreed, saying, "You are different from that woman; you are my eternal friend from the far north."

“Let’s go now. It would be troublesome if the Ice Emperor were affected by a powerful human soul master during her tribulation!” Titan Snow Demon King added.

"Influence?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han asked curiously, "Can human soul masters influence the tribulations of soul beasts?"

“There was a soul beast that was about to pass the 200,000-year tribulation, but at the critical moment it was attacked from behind by a strong human soul master.”

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he told Dugu Han to cover his ears.

After Dugu Han did as instructed, he saw Xiaobai and Titan Snow Demon King roar at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King and other 100,000-year-old soul beasts also roared together.

After they finished roaring, Dugu Han asked, "What are you doing?"

"Summon the soul beasts of each clan and search for any human soul masters that may appear in the core area," Xiaobai explained.

Then, the Ice Bear Clan and the Titan Snow Demon Clan all rushed out in large groups to search for any human Soul Masters that might appear in the core area.

Meanwhile, the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon and other soul beast races in the core area also began searching for traces of humans.

Without the Snow Empress's order, all the 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the core area spontaneously mobilized their respective clans' soul beasts to ensure the Ice Empress could successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Let's have a moment of silence for those unlucky souls who came to the core area to hunt for souls!"

Dugu Han shook his head, then flew directly onto Xiaobai's head and headed towards the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.

Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, along with a group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts, also followed.

……

the other side!
Zhang Lexuan was on her way back with the 100,000-year-old ice bear.

They encountered countless top-tier soul beasts along the way.

Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon, Ice and Snow Phoenix, Aurora Ice Demon Tiger, Spirit Ice Illusion Fox, Ice Soul Snow Light Deer, Thunderous Snow Light Butterfly...

And so on, all kinds of top-tier soul beasts, all over 50,000 years old.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan understood why Dugu Han wanted the 100,000-year-old ice bear to escort her back.

Without the escort of the 100,000-year-old ice bear and without the Snow Emperor's token being of any use, she would have been unable to deal with so many top-tier soul beasts on her own.

However, it also made her curious: what exactly happened that would cause so many top-tier soul beasts to be mobilized from the far north at the same time?
There were also the Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King, as well as a group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts, all standing ready for battle.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Lexuan shook her head to stop herself from thinking about it anymore.

Overthinking won't help.

Such a large-scale mobilization in the far north must mean something big has happened, something far beyond what a Soul Douluo like her can handle.

After returning to the igloo, Zhang Lexuan hung the Snow Emperor's Token on the door and then asked the 100,000-year-old Ice Bear for some ice.

Then, inside the igloo, they cut the ice into palm-sized pieces.

"Dugu Han!"

Holding an ice cube in one hand and a carving knife in the other, Zhang Lexuan closed her eyes and recalled how Dugu Han had protected her from behind, a smile appearing on her lips.

Then I started carving.

at the same time!

Xiao Bai and Titan Snow Demon King, along with a group of soul beasts over 100,000 years old, had just arrived at the outskirts of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's territory when they felt an immense pressure.

"Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion King, which had initially hunted down Dugu Han, led the Ice Jade Scorpion clan out of there.

"Humanity!"

It saw Dugu Han nod, but there was something strange in his eyes.

"Don't tell me I smell good!" Dugu Han chuckled.

"I have that feeling!"

The 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion King nodded honestly, then looked at the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King, as well as the group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts behind them, and pleaded: "If any powerful soul masters from the human world arrive, please lend a hand."

"it is good!"

Whether it was Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King, or Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King and a host of other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, they all agreed. Dugu Han glanced at the lineup: two beast kings over 200,000 years old, plus the Ice Jade Scorpion King, a total of fifteen top-tier 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

With this lineup, even a level 98 Super Douluo would likely face certain death.

Even a Limit Douluo would have to bleed if he came in.

but……

Dugu Han suddenly thought of a question: In the original story, when the Snow Empress transformed into human form, she was ambushed by a level nine soul master and trapped in the Conferred God Platform.

At that time, the Snow Empress was preparing to transform into human form. After transforming, she lost all her cultivation of 690,000 years. She did not ask the Ice Empress for help to protect her because the Ice Empress had already become a Martial Soul. It is also understandable that she did not ask the Titan Snow Demon King for help to protect her. However, she did not ask the Ice Bear King, whom she had raised, for help to protect her. This is a bit intriguing!
Dugu Han frowned deeply.

Until the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gradually gathered in the azure sky, and purple lightning continuously flickered within the clouds.

Dugu Han snapped out of his daze, looked at the dark clouds gathering above the Ice Jade Scorpion territory, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it about to begin?"

"not yet!"

Xiao Bai shook her head and slowly backed away.

Titan Snow Demon King and the other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, as well as the Ice Jade Scorpion King and his Ice Jade Scorpion horde, all began to retreat.

The 400,000-year heavenly tribulation encompassed the entire territory of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.

If they were inside, they would also be caught in the crossfire.

They retreated all the way to the outside of their territory.

All the soul beasts stopped and stared at the tribulation clouds with bated breath.

The 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation has only just begun to condense, but whether it is the 200,000-year-old Little White and Titan Snow Demon King, or the 100,000-year-old Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King and Ice Jade Scorpion King, and a group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

At this moment, they all sensed a world-destroying aura from the tribulation clouds, which made their scalps tingle.

Before long, several more 100,000-year-old soul beasts from the core area arrived, one of which was the Ice Soul Frost Dragon King, whom Dugu Han knew.

Upon seeing Dugu Han, it immediately approached and sniffed him repeatedly.

"Get away from me, and don't tell me I smell good!"

Dugu Han silently pushed away the Ice Soul Cold Dragon King's massive dragon head.

He's now allergic to the word "fragrant"!

The Ice Soul Cold Dragon King gave Dugu Han a strange look, but didn't say anything about how fragrant it was.

"Everyone's here!"

Seeing that the last few hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the core area had also arrived, Xiao Bai looked at Titan Snow Demon King and said seriously, "Should you speak or should I speak?"

"It's definitely me!"

Titan Snow Demon King, without hesitation, addressed the group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts in a deep, booming voice: "Well, the Snow Empress isn't here, and the Ice Empress is preparing for her tribulation. We, the soul beasts of the far north, must unite as one..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just say it!" Xiaobai interrupted.

Frost Lion King also said, "Just say it directly, don't use human tricks."

"You are a soul beast, not a human!" the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King retorted.

"..."

Titan Snow Demon King was speechless after being rebuked.

Damn it, the 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the core area only listen to the Snow Empress, and secondly, they also listen to the Ice Empress to some extent.

As for it, Titan Snow Demon King, one of the Three Kings of the Far North, and other 100,000-year-old soul beasts like Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, they simply ignored it.

"You wait until Hyotei finishes their tribulation, then we'll beat the shit out of you."

Titan Snow Demon King took the Frost Lion King and Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King's insults to heart, and then said directly, "Everyone..."

"Everyone spread out, be wary of powerful human soul masters who might try to ambush Ice Emperor for his soul bone," Xiaobai blurted out.

"you……"

Titan Snow Demon King was speechless for a moment, glaring angrily at Little White.

"Okay, that's all, everyone disperse!"

The Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King waved its dragon claws and left first, finding a place within the range of the tribulation clouds.

Subsequently, the Frost Lion King, the Ice Soul Frost Dragon King, and a group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts all found a position around the tribulation clouds, guarding against any human soul masters who might appear.

Only the Ice Jade Scorpion King remained, looking worriedly in the direction of the cave.

Little White ignored Titan Snow Demon King's angry gaze and plopped down on the ground.

Dugu Han flew down from Xiaobai's head and looked at the nearly twenty 100,000-year-old soul beasts that were standing guard in all directions around the tribulation clouds. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "With this kind of lineup, will any strong human soul masters really come?"

"No human soul master would dare to come, but it's better to be careful."

Titan Snow Demon King glared at Little White again as he spoke, then plopped down on his own.

"When will the Ice Emperor be able to begin his tribulation?" Dugu Han asked again.

"do not know!"

Titan Snow Demon King shook his head and said, "It could start today, it could be a month, it could be half a year, it could be a year, or even ten years. It mainly depends on when Ice Emperor is fully prepared and takes the initiative to show herself and trigger the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Stupid!"

Xiao Bai made a sarcastic remark, then said, "The Ice Emperor has the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, why would he need to prepare for so long? He'll start his tribulation in a month at most!"

"You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots!" Titan Snow Demon King said, staring with his huge pupils.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai grinned and said, "I was raised by the Snow Emperor. You can insult the Snow Emperor, but you'll have to wait until she comes out of seclusion."

"You ride on the horse..."

"You swore again!"

"..."

Titan Snow Demon King was so angry that he couldn't speak, and could only glare angrily at Little White.

Dugu Han looked at Xiao Bai with amusement, then sat down and began to wait.

A soul beast tribulation that lasts for 400,000 years is a rare sight, occurring only once every tens of thousands of years.

You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss this opportunity.

But the wait wasn't too long.

Just as Xiaobai had guessed, it only took a month.

A wild and untamed aura suddenly emanated from the territory of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.

Immediately afterwards, Hyotei rushed out of the cave and headed straight towards the tribulation clouds that had been brewing above.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Han immediately stood up and stared intently at the figure of the Ice Emperor.

Xiao Bai, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Jade Scorpion King, and in the distance Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, Frost Snow Lion King, and other 100,000-year-old soul beasts all became serious.
