Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 28 Ice Emperor Scorpion

Gu You felt a tightness in his chest. He leaned against the wall with one hand and covered his chest with the other. His vision began to blur. In a daze, a purple halo flew forward. Gu You tried to catch it, but couldn't reach it... And so, the purple light kept flying, and Gu You kept following it.

"What just happened?" Gu You came to his senses. A series of low roars came from the corridor in front of him. The place looked like a large warehouse, with countless huge iron cages standing tall, and he didn't know what they were imprisoning.

As they drew closer, a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed.

"Holy crap! You scared the crap out of me." Gu You was quite surprised when he saw the enormous creature in front of him. A hundred-year-old ice crystal bear, and... many hundred-year-old soul beasts!

Mystic Crystal Ice Feather Serpent, Ice Silkworm, ...

These are all unique to the far north. Judging from the situation, it must have been done by that group of evil soul masters.

Roar!

Another roar erupted, even more powerful than those of the hundred-year-old soul beasts. What was that? A thousand-year-old ice crystal bear! A mutated form of the crystal bear.

Seeing a thousand-year-old soul beast in real life for the first time, Gu You felt an inexplicable excitement and a sense of relief; in short, it was a very strange feeling.

The spirit ring suddenly rose beneath Gu You's feet, and a dragon's roar resounded. The entire cage fell silent, and the eyes of all the spirit beasts became peaceful.

What's going on? My martial spirit can release itself? Is it that advanced?

Gu You frowned, looked up, and was immediately startled to see the thousand-year-old soul beast lying docilely in front of him, its eyes no longer fierce but gentle.

This?

Gu You slowly reached out and touched the Ice Crystal Bear. It felt cool to the touch, and the soul beast showed no intention of resisting. Even its special passive ability, which could instantly turn a person into an ice crystal, did not affect or harm Gu You.

Just as Gu You was getting into the swing of things, the Ice Crystal Bear transformed into specks of light and merged into his mind. A powerful, refreshing sensation washed over Gu You, causing him to let out a soft hum.

Many of the hundred-year-old soul beasts in the cages also turned into specks of light and rain, merging into Gu You's mind.

The sea of ​​spirit, the lake of spirit, was boiling, and wisps of life began to appear. This space was constantly expanding. Then the lake water surged, and in an instant, land began to appear, snowfields began to appear, and the sun and moon arrived one after another, forming two continents.

From a high vantage point, the area isn't very large; snowfields make up a large portion, while high-altitude jungles only occupy a small part. This is likely based on the proportion of spirit beasts. The spirit beasts suitable for living in the jungle and high-altitude areas are mainly the Chicken King and the Ice Crystal Bear, while the spirit beasts suitable for living in the far north of the snowfields are more diverse, with various types and forms.

There's a world inside my head!

Gu You was momentarily at a loss; the sudden change was too great, and his mind was in a state of confusion.

"It seems you're not so bad after all," Gu You said with a smile, looking at the claws covered in dragon scales.

At this moment, Chicken King stared blankly at the enormous creature in front of him. How could it be bigger than him? And what was this place...?

Upon exiting the Sea of ​​Spirit, Gu You felt his mind was full of energy, as if he had endless spiritual power at his disposal.

The boundless ocean of the spirit is regarded as creation.

This unexpected opportunity allowed his spiritual power to directly break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, which should be between 1200 and 1400.

Can absorbing soul beasts increase spiritual power?

Then I'd be invincible.

As Gu You pondered, he continued searching for any lone soul beasts.

thump!

Gu You threw away the wooden plank in his hand and jumped down. He had spent a lot of effort searching this dark room, so there must be something good inside.

The surroundings were damp, and the ancient blue bricks were the only pillars supporting the underground structure. The further you went in, the clearer the view became.

really!

There were countless iron cages, each containing many soul beasts, most of which were a thousand years old, some a hundred years old, but none ten thousand years old.

But then he thought, what if he got his hands on a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast? In short, he had to admire the evil soul master's methods. He had actually captured so many live thousand-year-old soul beasts. If he handed them all over to the Spirit Pagoda, they would be worth a fortune.

But Gu You wasn't that unscrupulous. He released the aura of his martial spirit once again, and Gu You still absorbed all these spirit beasts into his spiritual sea.

His consciousness expanded again, with the snowfield region now occupying most of his mind, leaving only a small patch of jungle plateau.

Comfortable

Gu You calculated that he should be at least in the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Let's go!

With light steps, some people disappeared as they walked. Gu You fell into the dark passage again, like a nested doll. The surrounding atmosphere began to grow cold. Gu You curled up. These evil spirit masters were quite good at playing games, layer upon layer.

It's so cold! Even at minus twenty degrees Celsius, he had never felt this way before. It's like an ordinary person being in minus thirty degrees Celsius.

"Humans!"

What the hell?

A clear, cold voice entered Gu You's ears. In the distance, amidst the icy mist, a pair of icy blue pupils slowly opened, like icy jade. The figure drew closer and closer, and Gu You grew colder and colder, even finding it difficult to breathe.

What a beautiful scorpion it was, with pale blue scales reflecting the shimmering ice mist, and the spear at its tail that seemed less like a weapon and more like a beautiful ornament.

"die!"

Before Gu You could react, the ice scorpion's enormous tail spear stabbed towards him.

fuck!

Gu You dodged, and the giant scorpion tail plunged into the ground.

"Is this... poisonous?" Gu You swallowed hard. If he were hit by this, he would be pierced through.

"Why don't you give it a try!" Without waiting for Gu You to say anything more, the Ice Emperor Scorpion attacked Gu You again with its two huge pincers.

"Stop hitting me. The fact that you can speak proves that you are not unintelligent. You should also know that we humans have an old saying, 'Harmony is the most precious thing.'" Gu Youlong blocked the fatal blow with his claws.

"Ah! I'm so angry! If it weren't for the suppression array here, I would have chopped you up, you human cub!" The Ice Emperor Scorpion was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"I know you're in a hurry, but that won't solve the problem. Are you a 100,000-year-old soul beast? You're already spewing profanities."

But the Ice Emperor Scorpion paid no heed to Gu You's words. It simply lay there quietly, as if it were dead and lifeless.

"Are you alright? Stop playing dead. I know you soul beasts like to play dead to lure your prey into a trap and then kill them in one fell swoop, right? I'm smart, I won't fall for it." Gu You glanced at him.

"Damn, he's still pretending." Gu You moved closer and touched the scorpion pincers.

"Hehe! You're gone."

"Ouch! Holy crap! Don't come any closer!!"

Gu You hurriedly used his first soul skill to counterattack, but when it hit the Ice Emperor Crab, it only made a series of thuds.

"It's over. Curiosity killed the cat. This time, I've really fallen into the hands of a soul beast," Gu You thought with resentment.
