Douluo Continent: Starting from the Fusion of My Martial Soul with Xiao Xiao

"Human, continue..."

As Xue Di's cold voice fell, the howling wind around them seemed to freeze instantly.

Her fingertips were still resting on Bingdi's fair forearm, her icy blue eyes quietly locked on Xue Yuheng, and the pressure from her nearly 700,000-year-old soul beast level was enough to make an ordinary titled Douluo kneel down instantly.

Ice Emperor reluctantly withdrew her nails from Xue Yuheng's neck. Her emerald scorpion tail swayed behind her, the tip of her stinger gleaming with a cold, eerie light. Her amber eyes were filled with murderous intent; she would never allow a human to threaten her.

Xue Yuheng raised his hand to brush away the frost that had formed on his shoulder, his tone calm.

"Crown Prince Xue Yuheng of the Douling Empire greets the Snow Emperor."

As expected, two panels representing the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor appeared on the wordless book in Xue Yuheng's mind.

A new line has been added, listing the race of the spirit beasts.

To Xue Yuheng's surprise, the two men possessed exceptional talent.

Ice Emperor is at the [mediocre] level, which corresponds to the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. As expected, the Ice Jade Scorpion's base stats are still too low.

How did she cultivate for 390,000 years?

Name: Xue Di

Race: Ice and Snow Woman

Talent: Top-tier talent (god-like)

Bone age: 704567

Cultivation level: 69 years

Possible directions for deduction: transformation, past and present lives, and the damaged origin.

After receiving confirmation from the wordless book, Xue Yuheng took Xiao Xiao's hand and said confidently with a smile, "Xiao Xiao, don't be nervous. These two are seniors. We are just six-year-old children. They have no reason to bully us."

Xiao Xiao's expression was complicated, and the soul power within her body surged as she resisted the pressure from the Snow Emperor.

Even though the two older women in front of her were full of flaws, Xiao Xiao had a strange feeling about them.

If you use the "Goddess Transformation" technique, you will definitely die.

She pursed her cherry-like lips and nodded to Xue Yuheng.

Xiaoxue wouldn't put herself in danger; just trust her.

Xue Yuheng noticed the hopeful look in the little girl's eyes, looked at the two peerless experts in front of him, and calmly said, "I have a ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Cave in my possession."

The two ice and snow emperors exchanged a glance, clearly showing great interest. The ice emperor suppressed his inner turmoil and said, "Human, state your conditions."

She was now incredibly grateful that she hadn't killed Xue Yuheng; that was the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Cave!

The key to her survival.

Humans with a lifespan of a hundred years can barely survive, let alone soul beasts that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

"I have a question, if I may be so bold as to ask: the Ice Jade Scorpion's racial talent is insufficient to survive the life-threatening tribulation of two hundred thousand years. How did you, Ice Emperor, cultivate to your current state?"

"You're asking for death!" Bingdi roared in anger, Xue Yuheng's words touching a raw nerve.

"Bing'er, stop." Xue Di spoke again, stopping Bing Di's actions.

She took half a step forward, and her stunning figure, outlined by the ice-blue tight dress, appeared even more upright in the wind and snow. On her long, snow-white legs, Xue Yuheng could even see a layer of reflective, translucent ice stockings.

"This is Bing'er's private matter. Does it have anything to do with your circumstances?"

Private matters?

Xue Yuheng turned to look at the Snow Emperor, his tone solemn:

"A chasm between soul beasts every 100,000 years is insurmountable, and the further one goes, the stronger the life-threatening tribulations become."

"Your Majesty, Snow Empress, your essence has been damaged; you may not have the chance to survive this tribulation."

Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, they had witnessed too many powerful soul beasts perish under the heavenly tribulation, and they knew better than anyone else that they had reached a dead end.

Hyotei's scorpion tail slowly drooped, the murderous intent on his face faded, replaced by deep resentment.

She was unwilling to accept that her life of arduous cultivation would end in the destruction of her soul, and she was even more unwilling to accept that the Snow Emperor would perish with her.

Xue Di's cold face remained expressionless, but a ripple appeared in her eyes.

Xue Yuheng continued, "Your Excellency Snow Emperor, you have prepared a second path: the transformation of soul beasts into human form. Unfortunately, without sufficient vitality, your 100,000-year-old snow lotus alone cannot achieve this."

For some reason, Xue Di felt a chill in her heart, as if Xue Yuheng had seen right through her. She frowned and said:

"Your Douling Royal Family's intelligence network is quite good."

"Let me think... Your condition for helping us survive the Heavenly Tribulation using the Eternal Ice Cave... it's not that we have to submit to you, is it?"

It's convenient to talk to smart people.

Of the three deductions Xue Yuheng made about the Snow Emperor, he chose the one about taking human form.

After careful consideration, Xue Yuheng concluded that the path of soul beasts was not suitable for Xue Di.

After all, the Douluo world is bound by a law established by an old dragon that soul beasts cannot become gods.

In total, over 1,500 points of Creation Power were used, but Xue Yuheng's calculations, which disregarded costs, revealed that over 300 points were spent.

In the wordless book, the Snow Emperor's interface revealed a complete method for transformation.

Xue Yuheng said, "Our Douling royal family has a lineage spanning thousands of years. We possess a secret technique that can help Your Majesty the Snow Emperor transform into human form and reforge your origins. In this way, you can break free from the shackles of heaven and earth that restrict soul beasts and have the potential to become a god."

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that the Snow Empress was deep in thought, the Ice Emperor feared that the Snow Empress had fallen into Xue Yuheng's trap, so she immediately retorted: "The Snow Empress and I have lived on the continent for hundreds of thousands of years, and we have never heard of such a heaven-defying secret technique."

Today, you will tell me and the Snow Emperor the location of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave.

Otherwise, I will definitely unleash the Northern Beast Tide and crush your Douling!

With the full force of the Ice Emperor's aura as a Soul Beast King, the weight of the billions of lives in the Douling Empire was as light as an ant in the Ice Emperor's mouth.

Xue Yuheng embraced Xiao Xiao and said calmly, "You two, I dared to come alone, so naturally I have some trump cards up my sleeve."

Has Your Majesty the Snow Empress ever heard of the Sun Moon Empire's Level 9 Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannonball?

"It doesn't matter if I die, but the habitats of several major races in this far north will suffer."

A ring of golden light enveloped Xue Yuheng and Xiao Xiao, protecting them with the power of creation.

Xue Yuheng tested it and found that under the attacks of Creation Power, which is equivalent to Super Douluo, each defense required 300 points of Creation Power.

This is another trump card that allowed Xue Yuheng to come alone.

The Snow Empress sensed something. In the far north, she could use the laws of ice and snow between heaven and earth. In that instant, her spiritual power scanned a radius of 100,000 miles centered on her current location.

Sure enough, in the four directions of the core area of ​​the far north, there was a Soul Master carrying a power that made her heart tremble.

The distance is too far; even if she and Hyotei chase after them with all their might, it will be too late.

Hyotei suddenly realized something, "Your four servants?!"

Xue Yuheng! You're asking for death!

Just a moment before Hyotei made his move, Yuki-tei shouted a rebuke.

"Bing'er! That's enough!"

"After saying so much, what are your conditions?" Xue Di asked directly, getting straight to the heart of the matter.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Having lived for 700,000 years, she understands this better than anyone.

Xue Yuheng laughed and said, "I will use the rare and precious materials in the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Cave to help the Ice Emperor overcome his tribulation and help you, Snow Emperor, to transform and rebuild your cultivation."

The condition is that the far north must become my support in the future.

When I unify the continent in the future, the resources and intelligence I need can be fully supplied by the far north.

"You want to turn the far north into your own backyard for fighting spirits? Human brat, you're delusional." The Ice Emperor laughed angrily, unable to comprehend what a little kid had the audacity to spout such nonsense here.

Did he not know that the power of the far north was enough to annihilate the entire Douling territory within a month?

Xue Yuheng urged the Snow Emperor:

"The far north was able to remain peaceful because of the presence of the three Heavenly Kings."

And this peaceful, bubble-like existence will come to an end when you two perish in a heavenly calamity a century from now.

Xue Yuheng's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Hyotei's anger.

Hyotei opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. She had to admit that Song Yuheng was telling the truth.

The wind and snow were still howling, but the four of them remained silent for a long time.

All three were waiting for Xue Di's reply.

Hyotei looked at Yuki-tei, her eyes filled with struggle.

She was unwilling to be subservient to others, but she didn't want to see the Snow Emperor die under the heavenly tribulation even more.

Xue Di lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. When she looked up again, she had already made up her mind. Her stunningly beautiful face now had a touch of radiant smile.

"You have secret techniques for fighting spirits, and so do I in the far north." The Snow Emperor took out an ancient parchment scroll from the ice and snow.

Snow Empress explained, "This is a contract scroll left behind by the ancient Ice God. All we need to do is drip our blood onto it."

If I die, you will die too.

There was something the Snow Emperor didn't say: if Xue Yuheng died, then she would be fine.

This is a master-servant reel.

Meeting the gazes of the Ice and Snow Emperors, Xue Yuheng glanced at Xiao Xiao, who was silently shaking her head and holding his hand beside her, and finally stepped forward.

Xue Yuheng has already risked his life once for Xiao Xiao.

This time, I'll take another gamble for myself.

Hopefully, the methods deduced from the wordless book will not disappoint me.

Red and blue blood intertwined on the scroll, and finally the ancient parchment spontaneously combusted, turning into ashes.

A connection and bond have grown between Xue Yuheng and Xue Di's hearts.

This feeling was strange to Xue Yuheng. In his perception, the Snow Emperor was like a piece of hard ice.

Stone woman.

Xue Yuheng suddenly thought of a word.

In Xue Di's perception, because she was the client of the master-servant scroll, she perceived much more than Xue Yuheng.

She even glimpsed a corner of Xue Yuheng's spiritual sea.

The strange power enveloping this boy came from the white jade scroll in his spiritual sea.

Was that his martial spirit? Or... a divine artifact?

As a snow elf blessed by the heavens, Xue Di has a profound understanding of the laws.

One of the reasons she compromised, besides the allure of the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Cave, was the strange power emanating from Xue Yuheng, which she couldn't fathom at all.

This is at least a power that is superior to soul power.

This Prince Douling is truly unfathomable.

As for the carefree Hyotei, she didn't care about anything else; she just did what she was told.

"Xue Yuheng, tell me, what do you need for your secret technique that can help me transform into human form?" Xue Di said.

"Snow Emperor!" Ice Emperor exclaimed.

"Bing'er, this is my only way to survive."

The Snow Empress's tone was helpless. "We've lived together for hundreds of thousands of years. Are you just going to watch me perish in the heavenly tribulation and see the far north destroyed?"

Hyotei bit her lip, looked at Yuki-tei's determined eyes, then at Yuki-hyeong, and finally stomped her foot hard.

"Fine! I promise! But if you dare to try anything funny, even if my soul is scattered to the winds, I'll drag you down with me!"

Xue Yuheng gave an awkward smile, "I and Xue Di are now bound by life and death, how could I possibly do something so thankless and exhausting..."

Xue Yuheng coughed lightly and loudly recited the required ice-attribute natural treasures from the wordless heavenly book:

"Ten catties of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, one hundred catties of Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, three Ice God Flowers, twelve ninety-thousand-year Ice Attribute Soul Bones, one hundred fifty-thousand-year Ice Attribute Soul Beast Inner Cores, three hundred grams of Ice Spirit Heavenly Sand, one one hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus..."

Xue Yuheng rattled off a list of dishes, each one a peerless treasure that could cause a frenzy among ice-attribute soul masters across the continent. In just two minutes, he recited over a hundred different kinds.

Xiao Xiao pouted. Why was Xiao Xue trying to line her own pockets at such a crucial moment? If she angered those two humanoid monsters, she wouldn't be able to escape.

The faces of Xue Di and Bing Di grew increasingly dark.

This requires nearly one-fifth of the resources of the far north.

This is a resource repository that the ancient Ice God led the soul beasts to occupy the far north and developed over millions of years.

Xue Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, that's about all the materials needed for the transformation. As for the transformation method, you, Xue Di, need to trigger a 700,000-year-old lightning tribulation and use the heavenly tribulation to temper a new body."

If you can get through it, you'll succeed.

There are also thousands of points of Creation Power as fusion materials, but Xue Yuheng didn't mention it.

In the distance, the sounds of the battle between the Sky Dancer and the Titan Snow Demon King grew closer, with black and white lights flashing across the sky and the snow beneath their feet trembling.

After a brief chat, Xue Yuheng safely led Xiao Xiao away on snowmobiles. He needed to inform the Moon Shadow Squad that it was time to call it a day.

The four level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were a lie told to Snow Emperor; in reality, there was one level-nine and three level-eight shells.

Soul-guided cannonballs are controlled weapons in the Sun Moon Empire and are strictly prohibited from being exported. Douluo Continent originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms.

Xue Yuheng traded a small piece of intelligence with an old man from the Sun Moon Empire two years ago.

Even for that being, obtaining those four shells required tremendous effort.

On the icy plain, the Ice Emperor watched Xue Yuheng and Xiao Xiao's disappearing figures and couldn't help but ask the Snow Emperor, "Snow Emperor, do we really have to believe him?"

I think this kid is a madman. If he's willing to do anything to take you down with him...

Hyotei had a very bad impression of Yukihiro, though she also admired him to some extent. If it were her, she wouldn't dare to do that.

Even now, the Ice Emperor believes that there must be a powerful figure from the Douling Empire hiding in the shadows, following behind Xue Yuheng.

Xue Di glanced at Bing Di, shook her head, and said, "Xue Yuheng doesn't seem to take the Douling Empire seriously."

When you talk to him, you can feel his sense of responsibility.

If I die, given your temper, the beast tide will definitely be unleashed.

"You can run away, but you can't hide. Xue Yuheng wouldn't joke around with the Douling Empire."

"Then why would he go to such lengths to help our soul beasts?" Ice Emperor asked, puzzled.

Since Xue Yuheng is a responsible person, why does he want to strengthen the soul beast camp?

It is important to know that for tens of thousands of years, there has been an irreconcilable conflict between soul beasts and soul masters.

The Snow Empress had some thoughts in her mind, but instead of answering the question, she asked, "Bing'er, that little girl with Xue Yuheng seems to be a Soul Master, right?"

"In my perception, yes, she seems to be a Soul Master who has never obtained a Soul Ring. There is no aura of her having killed a Soul Beast," Ice Emperor affirmed.

Hyotei's words only deepened the doubts in Yuki-tei's heart.

What exactly was the little girl gathering her strength from?

Why do I feel a kind of heart palpitation?

How could a little girl who isn't even a first-ring Soul Master possess such terrifying power?

Xue Di sighed. "Are there really such abnormal people in the human world?"

After this transformation is complete, it seems I can finally travel to the mainland.

That top academy on the continent seems pretty good.

Snow Emperor turned around, leaving no trace on the snow. "Let's go, let's gather a list of materials."

"Hmph, I was just saying that Xue Yuheng is trying to rip us off! Why would we need so many materials!"

If I ever see his pockets are dirty, I'll crush him with pliers!

Snow Emperor: "..."
