Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"Human, you are very strong! Even with only eight rings, you can still stand on equal footing with me!"

"Hey! What do you mean by 'evenly matched'? You clearly didn't beat me!"

"you!"

Although her eyes were sharp, her loli-like figure made it difficult for her to be serious, and Qian Shui's joking around only made it harder for her to be serious.

"Let's get down to business. What's going on? Why did you launch this beast tide? Explain yourself, or I won't mind having another beast spirit ring!"

Qian Shui never expected that the Ice Emperor, who was supposed to appear ten thousand years later, would appear at this time and even launch a beast tide in a fit of rage.

After all, he had a good impression of her, and her human form was quite pretty and well-behaved. He didn't really want the Ice Emperor's spirit ring, since the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was still with Qian Renxue, and the last spirit ring slot was reserved for the Evil Emperor. Killing her would be pointless.

"you!"

This is the kind of situation Qian Shui likes best. When you are strong enough, the enemy at the negotiating table has no choice but to sit down and listen to you.

"About eight years ago, nearly three years ago, and now! Three members of my Ice Jade Scorpion clan with the strength of ten thousand years have been hunted down by you humans! How do you intend to settle this score?!"

"Eight years ago?"

Qian Shui does have a vivid memory of hunting the Ice Jade Scorpion, especially since it happened seven years ago, around the time he participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. Before the tournament, he did indeed bring a teammate to the Frozen Forest, and the soul beast they hunted was the Ice Jade Scorpion!

"Eight years ago was one thing, but time and time again! The aura left behind is that of the same person! You insignificant and despicable humans! How dare you?!"

"Are you sure it's the same person's scent three times?"

...

'I fucking know who it is!'

'Your teammate?'

'It must be because we told him not to venture too far into the far north, but he wouldn't listen. We were afraid he'd get into this kind of trouble, and now he's probably dead...'

'...'

...

"Although the people who come with me are different each time, I'm certain it's the same person's aura!"

"What about that person?"

Realizing it was an acquaintance who did it, Qian Shui was helpless. She thought that if the body was intact, she could at least collect it.

But Hyotei's gaze shifted, and after a long pause, she managed to stammer, "They ran away when I arrived..."

"puff!"

"why are you laughing!"

"Ahem! No, no, I'm professionally trained, I don't usually laugh! Unless I can't help it! Pfft, hahaha..."

The image of a tsundere girl with twin tails is too classic; Qian Shui simply couldn't resist!

"you!"

Soul beasts are not human, and their speech is not as powerful. Qian Shui's words left her speechless and furious, but she couldn't defeat Bing Di, who could only suppress her anger. The complicated expression on her face only made her more adorable.

"Cough cough cough! Don't start a beast tide, really, let's be friends~ Really, if you start a beast tide now, the far north will be destroyed. There are at least two or three people stronger than me in Douluo Continent right now, you know about the Spirit Hall, right!"

The current situation on Douluo Continent is not like it will be ten thousand years from now, where almost all the powerful figures on the continent need to restrain it. The Star Dou Great Forest is currently guarded by only two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the ocean is suppressed by Seagod Island.

Even though the two great empires were outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, they remained relatively peaceful under the suppression of the Spirit Hall's absolute power.

Once the Ice Emperor launches the beast tide, it will be a war against all of humanity. At that time, the seven elders of the Spirit Hall will inevitably launch a full-scale attack. The Three Kings of the Far North will have no chance against the attack of the Judgment Elder, the level 99 peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu, and their annihilation is inevitable.

Just as Hyotei was considering the pros and cons, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Sword Douluo, Your Majesty, are you here to check on the situation?"

"It really is you, Qianshui! Why has such a riot broken out in the far north? Who is she?"

Faced with Chen Xin's question, Qian Shui was speechless and said calmly, "Let me introduce myself. I am one of the Three Kings of the Far North, the ferocious beast Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Emperor! By the way, what is your current cultivation level?"

"Three hundred and ninety thousand years!"

"How is this possible?! There's a soul beast that's over 100,000 years old?! And in human form?!"

Faced with Chen Xin's question, Qian Shui was even more speechless. "That's because you're ignorant! When a soul beast breaks through 200,000 years of cultivation, it is called a ferocious beast! At this time, their cultivation is at least the strength of a Title Douluo of level 97 or above. At this stage, they have the ability to transform into human form."

"You seem to know very well!"

"No problem. Although he's only level 96 and can't beat you, if we team up, you definitely won't be able to escape. There's no need to continue, right?"

Just as Qian Shui finished speaking, a figure with an extremely powerful aura, almost infinitely close to that of a peerless Douluo, suddenly appeared within Qian Shui's perception range.

Hyotei turned around abruptly, his joy overflowing, and flew in that direction, shouting, "Yuki!"

Qian Shui then shouted directly at Chen Xin, "Don't stand there like an idiot! Run!"

Before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived; a clear and indifferent female voice, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, arrived!

"Emperor Sword! Unrivaled Ice!"

Chapter 201 The Snow Empress's Three Absolute Techniques! Intimidation!

The newcomer had a human appearance, with long, pure white hair that hung down to his feet, and clear, ethereal sky-blue eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world.

Her slender body was flawless. Although she was wearing a long white dress without any decoration, it made her look so noble and stunning.

Yet it is meticulous, like a plum blossom in the cold winter snow, outstanding and defying the snow and frost.

Qian Shui didn't have much time to spare; her beauty no longer needed further speculation.

She is none other than the leader of the three great kings of the far north, and the third-ranked of the ten most ferocious beasts ten thousand years later—the Ice and Snow Maiden! The Snow Emperor!

She was born from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of the far north, and after countless years of nurturing, she finally developed her own thoughts and wisdom, becoming an intelligent being.

Qian Shui once wondered if an elemental being like her could truly be a soul beast.

Facing her Emperor Sword, Qian Shui dared not be careless at all. She activated the Tyrant Fish Skin Armor and then activated another defensive Soul Bone Skill.

"A 100,000-year-old Xuanwu Soul Bone Technique, Xuanwu Divine Defense!"

This is the fourth soul skill obtained from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, derived from the right arm bone of the 100,000-year-old soul beast Xuanwu. It summons the Xuanwu phantom to materialize and is used entirely for single-target defense.

Qian Shui stacked up his dodges. He did this to buy Chen Xin a chance to escape. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was basically his and Qian Renxue's private property now. Chen Xin was their important asset, and he had to do a lot of the dirty and hard work.

At this moment, Qian Shui regretted not bringing the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and the Trident of the Sea God.

Without these two things, Xue Di's strength is almost equal to that of a peerless Douluo, and she can completely overwhelm him.

The so-called Emperor Sword - Ice Extreme Unparalleled was a deep blue longsword that the Snow Emperor conjured, seemingly made of condensed ice crystals, for an attack. Its power was extremely strong, directly shattering the Xuanwu Divine Defense activated by Qian Shui in one blow, and the weaker Chen Xin was finally able to escape.

Then an even more terrifying battle broke out over the ice fields of the far north!

The Dark Gold Terror Claws unleashed their power, engaging in a fierce battle with the Emperor Sword; one side was chillingly cold, while the other displayed its sharp edge.

Although the fight was intense, it was all a test, with no intention of immediately determining the winner.

"Emperor Han Tian·Xue Wu Yao Yang!"

"Killing God Realm!"

Suddenly, the two activated their domain skills almost simultaneously.

Snow Dance Shining in the Sun is the Snow Empress's domain skill. In the far north, the most suitable place for her to fight, she instantly transforms an area with a diameter of 10,000 meters into her domain. As snowflakes fly, it becomes a forbidden land, and even the sun's rays cannot compare to it!

Qian Shui's Killing God Domain has a weakening ability, but even so, it is still not enough to match Xue Di's domain on her home turf.

Seeing Qian Shui's sluggish movements, Xue Di lunged forward and unleashed a palm strike!

"Emperor's Palm: Great Cold without Snow!"

'To suffer! '

This is the first time since the siege of the Thousand Waters City of Slaughter that I have encountered a life-threatening crisis. Although ice and fire are said to temper the body and make one impervious to water and fire, it still depends on the degree of ice!

"Thousand Illusions! Emerge from the Yang God! Blazing Sun!"

At this moment, he couldn't care less. Qianhuan distorted the light, allowing his body, which was frozen and slowed by Xuewu Yaoyang, to move briefly in order to avoid the Emperor's palm. Then he unleashed his Yang Shen and Yuan Shen with all his might, using offense as defense to force Xuedi to defend or dodge on her own!

However, her cold expression, like her unwavering will as she remained icy, still brought down a palm strike!

I'll kill you! Then she won't need to hide!

Having encountered an opponent with almost the same philosophy, Qian Shui was truly helpless. At this moment, he could still unleash the First Encounter Kill, but Xue Di's soul was also powerful enough that he was not confident of killing her with one blow.

Even if the emperor's palm barely grazed him, it wouldn't be enough to kill him instantly.

When the moment came, perhaps it was her good looks that made a difference. A terrifying burst of ice-attribute soul power instantly froze Qian Shui, while Xue Di's soul was blasted out of her body by the ten primordial spirit attacks. Bing Tian Xue Nu's body instantly lost control, and she fell into the icy plain along with Qian Shui's body in the parabolic trajectory she had come from.

The battle between Xue Di and Bing Di was the focus of attention for almost all the soul beasts in the far north. Chen Xin had already left without looking back. At this moment, apart from Qian Shui, who had manifested his Yang God form, and Xue Di, whose soul form had been blasted out of her body, the only other beings present were Qian Shui and Xue Di.

But the battle is far from over!

Upon reaching the Snow Emperor's level, her soul was already extremely powerful. Although she couldn't compare to the Peerless Douluo who transcended levels, nor could she compare to a specialist like Qian Shui, and the Evil Emperor was even beyond that level.

However, the Ice and Snow Maiden was still blessed with unique advantages. Even in her soul state, she still managed to gather the Emperor Sword and attack Qian Shui, but its power was no longer as great as before; it seemed to be just an ice sword.

Qian Shui, now back in her original form, wouldn't give her that chance. She instantly teleported away from her body, stopping her fall. Her original body then activated her fifth soul skill to heal herself.

At the same time, the sixth soul skill was unleashed by the main body again, but only two clones were created to a limited extent: one captured the Snow Empress's main body, and the other helped the main body escape from the ice.

Then, a claw was placed across the Snow Emperor's neck, and he shouted, "Who dares to step forward!"

The Ice Emperor, who originally wanted to help the Snow Emperor, and the Ice Bear King and Titan Snow Demon King, who had come from afar, all stopped in their tracks.

"Xue'er!" "Mom!" "Xuedi!"

The Ice Bear King regarded the Snow Emperor as his mother. He was an exceptionally large ice bear, his enormous body resembling a small hill.

Even when it walks on all fours, it still stands over fifteen meters tall, its massive body covered in thick fur. The white fur gleams with a faint silvery sheen.

Titan Snow Demon King, true to his name, is said to be a descendant of the Ice God and the Titan Giant.

These creatures, which are listed as bizarre and frequently mentioned alongside water monkeys and savages on Earth, yet do not exist, actually exist in the Douluo Continent.

Qian Shui couldn't help but want to shout, "Quickly, go and invite Teacher Zanghu!"

"Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North! Let's talk! You don't want the Snow Empress's head to roll, do you?"

"Who are you humans?!" For no apparent reason, Hyotei insisted on whether or not they were human...

"The beast's head fell to the ground?"
