Chapter 14: 7 Amplification Soul Rings!
One month later, in the far north.
"Young Master, are you sure you want to hunt down the Titan Snow Demon King?"
Xiao Bai gazed at the bottomless glacial crevice ahead, his eyes revealing genuine worry.
As a soul beast who had once lived in the far north, she knew the terror of that behemoth better than anyone else.
Zhang Qingxuan turned around, reached out with a self-righteous air, and pinched Xiaobai's nose: "What, my little fox was bullied before, can't I, as its master, stand up for you?"
"I don't believe you!" Xiaobai rolled her eyes dramatically, muttering to herself.
"I think you're just after other people's spirit rings and spirit bones. You make it sound so nice!"
Even so, when I heard Zhang Qingxuan's matter-of-fact demand for "justice," a warm feeling still quietly welled up in my heart.
She has lived in the far north for tens of thousands of years, where the law of the jungle prevails.
No one has ever faced another overlord because of the past experiences of a soul beast.
But worry quickly overwhelmed the hint of sweetness: "That's a two-hundred-thousand-year-old Titan Snow Demon King! Extreme ice attribute, and possesses ancient Titan bloodline! Young Master, you…"
"If it were before, the chances of winning would be less than 50%." Zhang Qingxuan interrupted her, a sharp glint of purple lightning flashing in his eyes.
"But now, I'm 60% confident."
He slowly raised his right hand, palm up. No spirit rings lit up, and there was no fluctuation of spirit power, but the surrounding air began to distort strangely.
A faint purple electric spark danced at his fingertips, and wherever it passed, even the space itself emitted a slight crackling sound.
Little White's fur instantly stood on end!
That wasn't ordinary lightning! That aura... was the same as the heavenly punishment lightning she had felt during the ten-thousand-year heavenly tribulation (of other soul beasts)!
It was just more restrained and more refined, as if the entire thundercloud had been compressed into this human body.
"Even if I'm no match for it, it can't stop me from leaving if I want to." Zhang Qingxuan withdrew his hand, his tone calm but exuding undeniable confidence.
The tribulation a month ago not only benefited the Yin-Yang Diagram and the Green Leaf Sword, but also allowed him to unexpectedly capture a wisp of the purple lightning tribulation's origin.
Now his Five Thunder Orthodox Technique has acquired a trace of the true power of heavenly tribulation—it has a natural restraint on soul beasts, especially high-level soul beasts.
"Let's go." Zhang Qingxuan strode forward, leaving no trace in the snow.
After walking through the glacier for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up before them.
It was a giant ice cave with a diameter of over a kilometer. The entrance resembled the open mouth of a ferocious beast, and a chilling aura surged out from its depths, causing even exhaled breath to freeze instantly into ice shards that fell to the ground.
"This is it." Xiaobai took a deep breath, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
It was in this vicinity that she lost the Ice Spirit Fruit Tree that she had guarded for ten thousand years to that tyrannical fellow.
The next second, she strained her throat, using her soul power to project her voice deep into the ice cave:
"You big oaf! Your grandma's back for revenge—"
"Did you hear that?! Your Grandma Bai is here to settle scores—"
The sound echoed in the ice cave, causing icicles to fall from above.
Immediately afterwards, a suffocating aura erupted from the depths of the cave!
The overwhelming pressure of a ferocious beast, pure to the extreme, swept over us like a tsunami!
Xiao Bai's face turned pale, and she instinctively took half a step back.
"You damned fox...you actually transformed into human form?"
A deep, thunderous voice emanated from the cave, and with each word spoken, the earth trembled.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
It stands over 100 meters tall, its entire body covered in snow-white fur, and every muscle is sculpted like a glacier, containing explosive power.
It looked down at the two people below, who were as insignificant as ants.
Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three overlords of the far north!
Its gaze fell on Zhang Qingxuan, two streams of icy breath escaping from its nostrils, its voice filled with disdain: "This is the backer you found? A... human ant?"
Zhang Qingxuan shrugged, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather: "Yeah."
"You're asking for it—"
Titan Snow Demon King threw a punch without warning!
There were no soul skills, no fancy tricks, just pure power tearing through the air and creating a sonic boom!
If this punch lands, even a hill will instantly turn to dust!
However, after the loud noise, Titan Snow Demon King was stunned.
Its fist stopped in mid-air.
A pale golden light shield appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Zhang Qingxuan and Xiaobai.
Golden light flowed across the light shield, which appeared as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it blocked the force of the punch completely without even causing a ripple.
"Hmm?" Titan Snow Demon King narrowed his eyes.
Zhang Qingxuan slowly raised his head, and a flash of purple lightning disappeared into the depths of his dark eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura, no less powerful than that of the Titan Snow Demon King, erupted from his body!
Seven spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, and when they were fully revealed, even the well-informed Titan Snow Demon King's pupils shrank!
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, red!
A spirit ring ratio that defies common sense in the world of spirit masters!
Especially that last blood-red soul ring, the immense life force and pressure contained within it were clearly something that only a 100,000-year-old soul beast could bestow!
Xiao Bai was also stunned. Although she knew that the young master was very strong, this red spirit ring... when had he ever hunted a 100,000-year-old spirit beast?!
Before she could think it through, all seven of Zhang Qingxuan's spirit rings lit up at the same time!
First Soul Ring – Increases all personal attributes by 100%!
Second Soul Ring – Attacks inflict armor penetration!
Third ring, fourth ring, fifth ring, sixth ring...
With each spirit ring that lit up, Zhang Qingxuan's aura surged!
When all seven spirit rings were stacked, a visible field of lightning surrounded him, his hair moved without wind, and destructive power flowed beneath every inch of his skin!
"Now, let me reason with you." Zhang Qingxuan took a step forward.
He raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.
"Boom—"
The sky suddenly darkened!
The once clear northern sky is now covered with dark clouds, and lightning bolts are rolling and roaring in the clouds!
That wasn't a soul skill, but a strange phenomenon caused by the forced activation of the power of heaven and earth!
Titan Snow Demon King finally abandoned his contempt.
It roared to the sky, and ice-blue light rapidly spread from its center—Talent Domain: Extreme Cold Domain!
Within its domain, its attack and defense will be greatly enhanced!
Immediately afterwards, its muscles bulged and burst forth with dazzling light—Titan Power activated!
"Roar—"
It clashed its fists together, producing a loud, metallic clang, and then unleashed a second punch at Zhang Qingxuan!
This punch was several times more powerful than the previous one!
"Trying to strike first?" Zhang Qingxuan's lips curled up slightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
He didn't dodge, but simply raised his hand slightly and pressed down.
"Click—"
A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, descended from the sky, tearing through the domain and the cold wind, and struck precisely the giant fist that Titan Snow Demon King was unleashing!
Lightning exploded, and ice crystals scattered everywhere!
Titan Snow Demon King let out a painful roar, and the ice crystal armor on his fist, which was said to be able to withstand the full force of a Title Douluo, actually developed fine cracks under this lightning strike!
