Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 253 Forced Sacrifice: The Strongest Ice-Attribute Soul Master of the Future!
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, a narrow valley stretches across the ancient trees.

The valley is devoid of sunlight, with ice pillars several meters high forming on the cliffs on both sides, reflecting the faint light seeping in through the cracks, illuminating the entire valley like a crystal world.

The frozen lake at the bottom of the valley shimmered with a faint blue light, its chilling aura so intense that even the air seemed frozen, and inhaling it brought a bone-chilling cold.

Yu Xiaolie and the Sixth Elder brought Yu Linglong and Shui Bing'er to this place.

He stood at the very front of the group, his gaze piercing, his spiritual power spreading outwards like a tidal wave, covering the entire valley.

Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Found it."

At the edge of his perception, beside a frigid pool shrouded in icy mist, lay a colossal beast, its entire body pure white.

That was a 20,000-year-old Ice Crystal Snow Soul King!

Its body was like an ice sculpture, every hair shimmering with cold light, a single crystal horn on its head pointing straight to the sky, and its whole body exuded a chilling aura, as if even the surrounding air was frozen.

The Ice Crystal Snow Soul King is not only a top-tier ice-type soul beast, but also renowned for its powerful spiritual strength. Its soul rings can greatly enhance a soul master's spiritual strength and the purity of ice-type soul power. For a soul master like Shui Bing'er with dual ice-attribute martial souls, it is a perfect match.

Behind it, dozens of smaller Ice Crystal Snow Soul Beasts followed closely, clearly a group that respected it.

"Bing'er, your spirit ring has been secured."

Yu Xiaolie turned to Shui Bing'er and said.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er pursed her lips, a hint of anticipation shining through her icy blue eyes.

With Yu Xiaolie by my side, nothing unexpected ever happens.

All he needs to do is unconditionally obey his father's instructions.

However, just as they crossed the valley and were about to get close...

Seemingly sensing the presence of humans, the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King suddenly raised its head, a look of terror flashing in its icy blue vertical pupils.

As rare ice-attribute soul beasts, they are different from ordinary soul beasts.

The Ice Crystal Snow Soul clan possesses extremely powerful spiritual energy, especially the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King, which has a lifespan of 20,000 years and already possesses its own intelligence.

Then it let out a low growl, and the herd immediately stirred, turning around and trying to escape.

"Trying to run?" Yu Xiaolie sneered, and nine soul rings suddenly rose from his feet, a terrifying soul pressure descending like Mount Tai pressing down.

In an instant, the entire forest seemed to freeze, and the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King's limbs were bound by invisible chains, unable to move an inch.

The next moment, Yu Xiaolie had already descended to the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King's side, his voice deep and his tone leaving no room for doubt:

"Sacrifice or extermination, the choice is yours."

His voice was cold and emotionless.

This is the oppressive aura brought by the Dragon Cub Martial Soul, even if it is not released.

However, Yu Xiaolie had already incorporated this dragon's might into his own soul power, and every move he made released the pressure of a king.

The Ice Crystal Snow Soul King trembled all over, and the beast-type soul beasts could only submit.

But he was very puzzled. Yu Xiaolie already had nine spirit rings, so why was he still forcing it to sacrifice itself?
But when it saw the Sixth Elder and the two girls who arrived late, everything became clear.

Shui Bing'er ran forward: "Daddy."

"Make a decision now." Yu Xiaolie didn't waste any more words.

A human-like grief and struggle flashed in the eyes of the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King. It looked at its trembling tribe behind it, and finally lowered its proud head, letting out a long, mournful howl.

"Very good, Bing'er, circulate your soul power and prepare to absorb."

Shui Bing'er immediately stepped forward and sat cross-legged. The next moment, the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King's body suddenly emitted a dazzling ice-blue light, and its body gradually turned into specks of light as if ice and snow were melting. A huge amount of soul power surged towards Shui Bing'er like a tide, enveloping her entire body.

Shui Bing'er's body trembled violently as the energy of her 20,000-year soul ring surged into her meridians like a torrent.

The extreme cold and the immense spiritual power intertwined, making her feel as if her body was about to be torn apart.

A layer of white frost condensed on her skin, which was quickly evaporated into mist by the surging soul power within her body. Her face was as pale as paper, but her lips were tightly pursed, and she did not utter a single groan.

The Sixth Elder watched in horror and couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, a 20,000-year soul ring is far too much for a Soul Master who has just broken through to level 50. This is already absorbing something beyond their level. I'm afraid Miss Bing'er's body..."

"You have to carry it even if you can't bear it!"

Yu Xiaolie's gaze was sharp, and his tone left no room for doubt.

With twin martial souls, the dragon cub's separated martial soul can also help share the body's burden, and she also improved her body by consuming immortal herbs.

Compared to before, Yu Xiaolie endured immense pressure when absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, managing to condense a 100,000-year soul ring for himself. Shui Bing'er, on the other hand, is already extremely talented, destined to become the strongest ice-attribute soul master on the entire continent. What is this little bit of pain compared to that? She even sacrificed a 20,000-year soul beast. What more could she ask for?

Yu Linglong stood to the side, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her eyes showing both worry for Shui Bing'er and a hint of undisguised envy.

Just then, a faint buzzing sound came from the bushes in the distance. At first, it went unnoticed, but soon the sound became more and more intense, as if countless wings were vibrating at the same time.

"Hmm?" Yu Xiaolie's gaze sharpened, and his mental energy instantly swept towards the source of the sound.

A group of golden bee-like spirit beasts were lurking menacingly among the treetops.

Leading the pack was a massive queen bee, nearly half a person's height, with its stinger gleaming with a chilling light from its rear end—a 4600-year-old Golden Queen Bee!

"These guys... are after the corpse of the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King."

The Sixth Elder noticed it too, then narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

The former's beeswax can withstand extreme cold, while the latter's ice crystal energy can resist the venom of the golden bee.

These two populations have always been mutually destructive and antagonistic.

Therefore, it is not surprising that bee swarms appear.

More importantly, the remains of the Ice Crystal Snow Soul King contain a vast amount of icy energy, which is a great tonic for the Crimson Flame Bee swarm.

They were clearly attracted by the energy emitted during the sacrifice, and were waiting menacingly, hoping to strike at the Ice Crystal Snow Soul Clan, which had lost its Beast King, after Yu Xiaolie and his group left, and reap the benefits.

However, a cold smile slowly crept onto Yu Xiaolie's lips: "What good luck. Now I'm spared the trouble of searching for soul beasts."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Yu Linglong, his tone leaving no room for refusal: "Linglong, that queen bee is yours."

Yu Linglong was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up with surprise: "Really?!"

With that, Yu Xiaolie gave an order to the Sixth Elder.

"Sixth Elder!"

"understand!"

In the blink of an eye, the Sixth Elder's soul power erupted, and the eight soul rings beneath his feet lit up instantly. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, rushing straight towards the swarm of bees.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Bee immediately realized something was wrong. With a sharp hiss, she turned and fled, and the swarm scattered in all directions like a tide.

"Linglong, keep up!" the Sixth Elder called back.

Yu Linglong responded excitedly, jumped up, and quickly chased after him.

Yu Xiaolie stood still, his gaze never leaving Shui Bing'er.
