Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

"Chief Chen's soul skill is truly terrifying."

Looking at the square, pitch-black barrier suspended in the air, Xiong Jun sighed with emotion.

The moment the barrier appeared, a sense of dread washed over him. He had a premonition that if he were trapped inside this large black cube, his bear skin would probably be peeled off.

"Snapped!"

"What Chief Chen's soul skills are like is none of your business. What you need to do now is to quickly find that damn Titan and beat him up!"

Xiong Jun was struck hard on the back of the head again. Thinking it was that bastard Wan Yao Wang again, he was embarrassed and angry. He was about to turn around and argue, but when he suddenly heard Di Tian's voice, the whole bear froze and stopped moving abruptly.

They quickly focused their attention on the snow ape army that had surged up and was less than a hundred meters away from them, its momentum overwhelming.

A look of disdain flashed across Xiong Jun's eyes, and a cold, ferocious smile appeared on his lips!

"Roar!"

A violent roar that shook the ground and caused the snow-capped mountains to tremble rang out.

Then, a terrifying dark light shone from Xiong Jun's body.

Immediately afterwards, a towering black-gold body, hundreds of meters tall and blotting out the sky, stood between heaven and earth!

The seemingly boundless shadow completely enveloped the snow apes.

Looking at this towering figure whose head was so high that it was difficult to see even by looking up, a sense of fear spread through the hearts of all the snow apes, and their indomitable spirit froze instantly!

"boom!"

The snow apes' fear did not earn the bear king's pity; he braced himself with his forelimbs and lowered his body.

The simple act of lying down was like a thunderclap; in an instant, the earth shook and the terrifying number of snow apes were all blasted away by the shock.

Xiong Jun ignored the scattered snow apes. They were there to suppress and subdue them, not to exterminate them, so he didn't kill them.

He fixed his gaze on the faintly visible snow ape footprints in the distance, a flash of bloodlust in his eyes, raised his bear head, and roared.

"Hey you little snow Titan up there, hurry up and come out respectfully to greet your Grandpa Bear. If you behave well, I'll go easy on you later!"

Xiong Jun's voice was extremely loud, using the vast soul power within his body, which spread across almost half of the far north.

"Roar!"

Before Xiong Jun's voice had faded, a roar filled with boundless rage followed.

Amidst the snow ape tribe's territory ahead, a tremendous snow explosion erupted, and amidst the billowing gray-white snow mist, a massive and magnificent figure slowly emerged!

Chapter 231 Hyotei, Snowfield

The bear's roar carried far and wide.

At this moment, atop a snow-capped mountain in the far north, a small black dot stands alone in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, you'll discover that it's actually a scorpion, an exquisitely beautiful scorpion.

Its body is small, less than two meters tall. Among the soul beast race, whose strength is generally measured by body size, it appears extremely petite and weak. However, it exudes a terrifying aura that is completely inconsistent with its body size.

Although its size is unremarkable, it appears incredibly exquisite, even stunning!

Its front end has four overlapping layers, each slightly longer than half a foot. The head is located on the frontmost layer, and its silvery-white mouthparts gleam with a cold, eerie light. The front half of these four overlapping layers is covered with a special kind of scale, forming protrusions.

They were hexagonal protrusions, shimmering with an incomparably brilliant luster, like diamonds.

These protrusions covered its forequarters and its six long, powerful legs. Bathed in the light of the snow, they shone with an unparalleled brilliance. It was as if, at that moment, it had become a source of light, refracting countless rays of radiance.

Both front claws are one meter long, and are also covered with strange, diamond-like hexagonal protrusions. Only the foremost claws and mouthparts are silvery-white with a mirror-like luster.

What's most striking is its pair of eyes. They are yellow, like two yellow diamonds set in the ground, and are hexagonal, shimmering with a crystalline yellow light, giving them a dazzling, precious appearance.

If its upper body is already dazzling enough, then its long, upturned tail at the rear of its body is the core of all its splendor.

The tail has only five segments, each an alluring turquoise green that shimmers with a vibrant, life-giving luster. All five segments are the same color, with the widest segment closest to the upper body, gradually narrowing towards the rear. At the very last segment, a tail hook, also adorned with diamond-like particles, is raised high, its very tip a shimmering, mirror-like silver-white point.

Such a soul beast is so dazzling, like a gemstone, that even describing it simply as beautiful would be an understatement; it is as if it were a creation of nature!

At this moment, the exquisite scorpion soul beast's eyes, like yellow gemstones, were fixedly gazing into a distant direction, flashing with a human-like infatuation, as if there were something it longed for in that place.

But just as its mind was racing with thoughts, a defiant roar suddenly came from behind it.

The scorpion's expression suddenly changed, and it turned around sharply, looking in the direction from which the sound was coming.

"Is the noise coming from that guy's territory?"

A flicker of disgust flashed in the scorpion's eyes, followed by a serious expression.

It is the Ice Emperor, the second in line of the Three Kings of the Far North, and its relationship with the Titan Snow Demon Ape is not harmonious, but rather hostile.

The reason is that the Titan Snow Demon Ape was so reckless that it dared to propose to the Snow Emperor, whom she longed for and loved!

She hasn't made up her mind yet.

Without hesitation, it engaged the Titan Snow Demon Ape in a fierce battle, breaking all the bones in its body except for its skull. It took the ape a thousand years to recover, and from that moment on, the two races became mortal enemies.

At this moment, with Hyotei's strength, she could naturally tell that the guy who called himself "Grandpa Kuma-kun" was extraordinary, even nearly as strong as her.

This shows that the Titan Snow Demon Ape has encountered trouble this time, and it's a huge trouble at that.

Logically speaking, the Ice Emperor would normally be extremely happy to see the Titan Snow Demon Ape suffer misfortune, and even hope that a soul beast could defeat it and take its place in the Far North Three Heavens.

But this time, a shadow fell over her eyes.

The reason is simple: it can tell that the Titan Snow Demon Ape's opponent is definitely not a soul beast from the far north. And on the entire continent, apart from the far north, only the sea and the Star Dou Great Forest can nurture such ferocious beasts.

The sea and the far north have absolutely no connection, and their respective environments are completely different. There is absolutely no reason for them to come to the north and provoke the ferocious beasts there.

Then there is only one answer left: the visitors must be the ferocious beasts of the Starry Sky Forest, who have always been at odds with the far north.

Moreover, their arrival this time is definitely not just for provoking the Titan Snow Demon Ape; they have likely come out in full force.

Although Hyotei loathed the Titan Snow Demon Ape, she naturally understood the simple truth that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

However, instead of immediately heading to provide support, it nimbly turned around, leaped down the snow-capped mountain, and sped towards the spot it had just been gazing at.

On the other side, there was a vast, exquisitely crafted ice palace, a masterpiece of nature that would leave anyone who saw it in awe and be regarded as a wonder of the world.

A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed entirely in silver, stood at the palace gate.

Its appearance is no different from that of a human, but upon closer inspection, one can discover that it is different.

Her features were almost unreal, with long, sharp ears.

Her skin had an abnormally pale white color, as white as snow, flawless and translucent.

Her long hair was snow-white, almost blending into the surrounding snowy scenery, swaying and fluttering in the cold wind.

She looked like a true snow fairy, exuding purity and etherealness. But this did not mean she was harmless. A chilling aura that penetrated to the bone emanated from her body, which, against the backdrop of the magnificent ice palace behind her, added to her majestic presence.

However, this being, who seemed to be the master of the snow, had an extremely solemn expression at this moment. A thick gloom settled between his brows, and his clear blue eyes were filled with worry as he gazed into the distance.

Clearly, she had also sensed the commotion caused by the Titan Snow Demon King.

Just like Hyotei, I also felt an unusual flavor.

"call out!"

Just as her heart, which had been as calm as a still mirror, began to stir with ripples and a hint of anxiety, she suddenly sensed a familiar presence. Turning her head, she saw a streak of emerald light appear at the edge of her vision, hurtling toward her at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Upon seeing the familiar figure, her expression softened slightly.

She stood still for a moment, and the emerald light was already upon her. "Snow Empress, it's terrible! Those guys from the Star Dou Great Forest are attacking!"

The emerald light manifested into a delicate little scorpion, its face showing a human-like expression of anxiety, and it shouted with great excitement.

Xue Di nodded solemnly at this moment.

"I already know."

"Then what should we do?"

“We need to help Titan. The power of the North is already inferior to that of the Star Dou Great Forest. If we lose his power as well, the two of us alone will not be able to hold out for long.”

Xue Di seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, and made a faint sound.

"Alright, although I don't like that guy, since you've asked, let's go rescue him. Perfect timing, let's teach those fools from the Star Dou Great Forest a lesson and show them the power of our Far North!"

Standing beside Xue Di, Bing Di's previous worries vanished instantly, as if she had great confidence in her, believing that any difficulties would crumble before Xue Di!

As for Hyotei's slightly excited appearance, Yuki-tei only showed a helpless smile, but in her heart, there was an unyielding worry.

Although Bingdi had come into contact with the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, that was only the tip of the iceberg. But she was different; she had truly witnessed the terror of the Star Dou Great Forest!

At the same time, she also had a doubt in her heart. Even though the far north had previously refuted the Star Dou Great Forest's request, things had remained basically peaceful.

Now that so much time has passed, why are they launching another large-scale attack?

But whatever the reason, there's no point in thinking about it now. Xue Di can only pray in her heart that the Star Dou Great Forest doesn't send too many forces this time, and at least that the Dragon King named "Di Tian" doesn't come. Otherwise, things might really be beyond repair.

With heavy hearts, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress unleashed their ultimate speed, transforming into two completely indistinct streaks of light amidst the swirling snowflakes, and hurtling towards the turbulent land.

At this moment, on that battlefield, the once prosperous land of the Titan Snow Ape Clan has been reduced to a scene of devastation. Countless Snow Ape Clan members lie scattered in various corners of the snowfield, their cries of agony echoing across the land.

"boom!"

At that moment, another resounding crash of flesh against flesh echoed, and a massive figure was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a towering snow-capped mountain.

Instantly, rocks collapsed and snow slid down, completely burying the enormous figure!

"Crack! Crack!"

Another, even more majestic and massive figure walked towards the collapsed snow mountain. The ground was barely able to support it and began to tremble slightly. The sound of its enormous footsteps echoed between heaven and earth.

"Shh!"

The enormous hand swept away the snow that resembled a tomb, revealing a scarred body inside. Xiong Jun smiled contemptuously, reached out and grabbed the body by the neck, then lifted the massive body with a single hand, making the Titan Snow Demon King, who was over eighty meters tall and more than a head shorter than him, able to look Xiong Jun in the eye.

This shows just how terrifying the physical body of the bear king, who possesses ultimate power, truly is!

At this moment, the Titan Snow Demon King had countless wounds of all sizes all over his body. His originally snow-white figure was now completely stained crimson with blood. His two muscular arms, which seemed to contain terrifying power, hung limply, as if they had been broken off by Xiong Jun.

The skull of that enormous head was mostly ripped open, looking incredibly ferocious. Blood was flowing, and you could even see the stark white bone and the slightly twitching brain tissue from the wound!

His eyes had become incredibly dim, making him look extremely miserable.

In contrast, although Xiong Jun was also covered in large patches of crimson blood, it was mostly from Titan Snow Demon King. His injuries were not serious, and he had an arrogant expression and a powerful aura, which was completely different from Titan Snow Demon King's dying state.
