Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 144 Subduing the Ice Fiend Bear, Obtaining the Natal Fiend Pill!
"Try to subdue them, or imprison them if you fail?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of lightning appeared in Sikong Zhen's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's right. If a 100,000-year-old soul beast can be subdued, it will be a great help to the current Heaven Dou Empire!"

Currently, the Heaven Dou Empire only has four titled Douluo: Sikong Zhen, Sikong Mingde, Yu Yuanzhen, and Dugu Bo, who possess high-end combat power.

Although three of them possessed peak Douluo-level combat power, they were still far inferior to the Spirit Hall.

Especially the quantity.
With only four Title Douluo-level combatants, some things become very difficult to handle.

Subduing the Ice Fiend Bear means gaining another peak Douluo combatant, which is of great benefit to the entire Heaven Dou!

With this thought in mind,

Sikong Zhen turned to look at the suppressed Ice Fiend Bear. At this moment, the soul beast was on the verge of death from the lightning.

Its icy blue fur was charred black in large patches, but its scarlet eyes still burned with an indomitable wildness.

"Humans. Kill them if you want!"

The Ice Demon Bear spoke in human language, its voice hoarse and piercing like the colliding of glaciers.

Sikong Zhen's eyes sharpened: "Submit to me and you may live."

"Roar--!"

The Ice Fiend Bear suddenly lunged forward, attempting to break free of the lightning talisman chains. "Soul beasts will never be slaves, especially 100,000-year-old soul beasts!"

A violent burst of icy energy erupted from its body, temporarily breaking free from the restraints of the lightning talisman chains.

The Ice Fiend Bear stood upright, its twenty-meter-tall body casting a huge shadow. Its two front paws condensed into ice fiend energy balls with a diameter of over five meters, which it slammed down fiercely towards Sikong Zhen!
"Stubborn."

A flash of lightning appeared in Sikong Zhen's eyes, and the Water Thunder Dragon Scale Claw on his right arm suddenly lit up.

He didn't move an inch, but suddenly a huge dragon claw covered with crystal-like scales appeared in the void and struck the Ice Fiend Bear's chest with precision.

"Oh!"

The Dragon Claw ignores spatial distance and hits the target directly.

Before the Ice Fiend Bear's icy energy ball could even land, its massive body was sent flying backward as if struck by a mountain, smashing through trees and rocks hundreds of meters behind it.

"puff--"

The Ice Fiend Bear spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with ice crystals, and a large section of its chest caved in.

It was horrified to discover that its defenses had been easily pierced by this claw.

Even more terrifying is that Sikong Zhen did not move an inch, and the dragon claw phantom was clearly still standing still in the same spot!
"This is the power of space?!" The Ice Fiend Bear finally showed fear.

The power of space is the most unpredictable.

Let alone this, even a real ferocious beast would probably have a hard time dealing with it!

Sikong Zhen, his fingertips crackling with wisps of black lightning, calmly asked, "I'll ask you one last time: surrender, or eternal slumber?"

Sikong Zhen's voice was not loud.

But it resonated in the Ice Fiend Bear's ears like a thunderclap.

The black lightning coiled around his fingertips was the power that had just absorbed the Black Lightning Tribulation, enough to terrify even a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

The Ice Fiend Bear's crimson eyes contracted sharply, and a low growl escaped its throat: "Human, you can forget about it!"

Sikong Zhen walked forward slowly.

With each step he took, a circle of lightning spread out beneath his feet.

The Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul appeared behind him, with four colors of lightning—blue, red, white, and black—intertwining to create a terrifying pressure that firmly suppressed the Ice Fiend Bear to the ground, preventing it from getting up.

"Are you sure you won't submit?"

Sikong Zhen stopped ten meters in front of the Ice Fiend Bear, a distance that was very close to a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

But at this moment, it has become an insurmountable barrier.

The Ice Fiend Bear struggled to raise its head, its ferocious gaze undiminished: "Confirmed!"

"very good."

Sikong Zhen made a fist with his right hand, and a long whip formed from four-colored lightning appeared in his hand.

The whip was as thick as an arm, and its surface crackled with red, blue, white, and black lightning, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

"Crack!" The lightning whip struck the Ice Fiend Bear's back without warning, instantly tearing its skin and flesh, as the lightning power of the four attributes entered its body.

"Roar--!"

The Ice Fiend Bear let out a painful howl, its body convulsing violently.

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it had not experienced such intense pain in a long time.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Sikong Zhen's face was unreadable, his thunder whip falling one after another, each lash precisely avoiding vital points, yet inflicting maximum pain.

The Ice Fiend Bear's back was quickly mangled and bloodied, its icy blue fur stained red with blood and charred by lightning.

The power of the Azure Thunder also healed its injuries to prevent them from becoming too severe.

After ten lashes.

Sikong Zhen stopped what he was doing and asked coldly, "And now?"

The Ice Fiend Bear panted heavily, the ferocity in its eyes lessening slightly, but it remained defiant: "Human...you will never tame me."

"It seems that's not enough."

Sikong Zhen put away the thunder whip and clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

Crimson fire lightning, cyan wood lightning, white gold lightning, and black water lightning—four kinds of lightning power gathered in his palm, gradually condensing into a four-colored lightning lotus.

The Thunder Lotus was only the size of a palm, yet it emitted a terrifying energy that distorted the surrounding space!
"The Four-Colored Thunder Lotus is enough to blast you to pieces."

Sikong Zhen held Lei Lian in one hand and said in an icy voice, "Since you would rather die than submit, then I will grant your wish."

The Ice Fiend Bear's beastly eyes widened as it stared intently at the beautiful yet deadly four-colored lightning lotus.

Its instincts told it that this thunder lotus indeed had the power to kill it.

The Ice Fiend Bear is not truly fearless of life and death; it has an instinctive fear of death, especially this kind of death that destroys both body and soul.

Time seemed to stand still, and only the buzzing of thunder could be heard in the air.

Finally, the Ice Demon Bear lowered its proud head: "I submit."

Sikong Zhen did not immediately disperse the four-colored thunder lotus, and said calmly, "Words are not enough."

The Ice Fiend Bear trembled and glanced at the four-colored lightning lotus.

After hesitating for a moment, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a fist-sized, blood-blue two-tone bead slowly floated out of its mouth.

The surface of the bead was wreathed in icy energy.

It seemed as if blood was flowing inside, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

"This is my natal evil core."

The Ice Fiend Bear's voice was deep, "It is formed from my fiendish energy, bloodline, and soul power. With it, my life and death are in your hands, so naturally I dare not betray you."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Sikong Zhen's eyes as he reached out and took the blood-blue bead.

The instant his fingers touched the Demon Core, a wisp of lightning power flowed from his hand and entered the Demon Core.

"what!"

The Ice Fiend Bear let out a painful cry, clearly indicating that the process was not pleasant.

The power of thunder formed a thunderous mark within the Demon Core, establishing a connection with Sikong Zhen.

From now on, with just a thought, he can use this mark to punish or even kill the Ice Fiend Bear.

"very good."

Sikong Zhen finally dispersed the four-colored lightning lotus and stored the evil pill in his storage soul tool. "From now on, you will serve me."

"If you behave well, you might be able to regain your freedom in the future!"

The Ice Fiend Bear struggled to its feet and whispered, "Yes, Master."

At this moment, the Ice Fiend Bear had convinced itself that following such a powerful and exceptionally talented master was not a bad idea.

As for the idea that "soul beasts will never be slaves," it had long since forgotten about it.

In the face of life and death, all of that is bullshit!
