Chapter 443 Titan Snow Demon King
In that instant, the entire glacier valley fell silent.
It's not just the sound that's disappeared.
Instead, even the wind and snow seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force.
The snowflakes falling from the sky paused in mid-air, crystal clear, like countless frozen stars. On the ice wall, ancient icy patterns lit up on their own, as if this far northern land also felt the will of the Ice Bear King's sacrifice and was seeing off this powerful being from the far north.
The next moment, the massive body of Ice Bear King Xiaobai was completely enveloped in ice-blue light.
Its body, which was originally as big as a small mountain, began to slowly become ethereal. Every strand of snow-white hair turned into a wisp of ice crystal light, and every inch of flesh and blood turned into an extremely cold source, flowing towards Tang Chuan along an invisible force.
"roar--!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the far north.
This is not pain, but farewell.
Little White, the king of the Arctic bears, voluntarily offered himself as a sacrifice.
As the roar resounded, countless northern soul beasts in the distance lowered their bodies. The giant ice wolf stopped running, the frost-winged ice sculpture folded its wings, the snow-armored demon scorpion retreated into the ice crevice, and even some millennia-old soul beasts hidden deep in the glacier lowered their heads towards the direction of the ice valley at this moment.
That was the far north's respect for the king.
Although Little White is usually lazy, although it likes to sleep, and although it acts like a silly big kid in front of Snow Empress, it is still the Arctic Bear King.
Two hundred thousand years of cultivation.
The king of a clan.
One of the true top-tier ferocious beasts of the far north.
Now that it has entrusted everything to Tang Chuan, the commotion caused by this power is naturally far beyond what ordinary soul beast sacrifices can achieve.
The next second, the ice walls surrounding the glacier valley began to tremble violently.
Countless ice crystals fell from the ice wall, but instead of falling to the ground, they were swept up in mid-air by the sacrificial light, turning into icy blue vortexes.
Above the sky, a huge rift was suddenly torn open in the thick clouds.
A beam of icy blue light descended from the sky and landed directly on Tang Chuan.
Tang Chuan felt an incomparably thick and pure source of extreme cold surge into his body.
That wasn't the kind of ice that was supremely noble and froze the heavens and earth like the Snow Emperor.
It's not like Hyotei's ice—sharp, domineering, and with an extreme killing intent.
Xiaobai's ice is more like the far north itself.
Heavy and resilient.
Gentle yet unshakeable.
It was a power that could withstand storms, bear snowfields, and protect the clan. Tang Chuan's second martial soul, the Snow Emperor phantom, slowly raised its eyes behind him, its long silver hair flying in the wind and snow.
The first spirit ring, the Snow Empress's Wisdom Spirit Ring, shone brightly with orange-gold light.
The second spirit ring, the Ice Emperor's Wisdom Spirit Ring, shimmered with a cold, orange-gold light.
The third and fourth spirit rings also floated quietly, exuding a calm and powerful aura.
At this moment, the fifth spirit ring is slowly forming.
The soul ring formed after the Ice Bear King Xiaobai's sacrifice was not an ordinary red one.
It started as a blood-red halo, and then a large number of icy blue patterns quickly emerged from the red. Those patterns resembled bear claws, glacial cracks, and the outlines of majestic snow-capped mountains.
As soon as the spirit ring appeared, the snow-covered ground within a hundred feet radius around Tang Chuan instantly collapsed.
It wasn't crushed, but rather forcefully suppressed into the ground by the terrifying pressure of that spirit ring.
Immediately afterward, the thick ice beneath Tang Chuan's feet cracked with various patterns, then was re-frozen by the extreme cold power, forming a crystal-clear, ice-blue domain.
"Such immense force..."
Tang Chuan spoke in a low voice.
His body even sank slightly as he absorbed the sacrificial power.
It should be noted that Tang Chuan is no longer an ordinary soul master. His first martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, is at the ninth level of perfection. He wields the Trident of the Sea God, and his life essence is powerful enough to revive Ah Yin. He has also experienced the baptism of multiple powers, including the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Snow Emperor, and the Ice Emperor.
Even so, Xiao Bai's sacrificial power still made him feel an extremely heavy pressure. The Ice Bear King's essence was laying a foundation of extreme northern protection for his Snow Emperor Martial Soul.
At this moment, the Snow Empress stood in Tang Chuan's sea of consciousness, watching the Ice Bear's essence continuously surging in. Her gaze softened, a rare occurrence, and she murmured:
"noob……"
The Ice Bear King's voice soon echoed in the Sea of Spirit.
"Mom, I'm here!"
Its voice was still loud and clear, even carrying a hint of excitement.
Wow, this place is huge!
"Is this the ocean of my father's spirit?"
"It's even more spacious than my Ice Valley!"
Tang Chuan endured the power of the sacrifice while his lips twitched slightly.
Even at this point, Xiaobai is still so energetic.
It truly lives up to its name as the Ice Bear King.
The Snow Empress said calmly, "Be quiet, the sacrifice is not over yet."
Xiao Bai immediately lowered his voice.
"oh."
After a moment, it couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Mom, where will I live from now on?"
Snow Emperor: "..."
Hyotei's cold voice rang out from the other side of the Sea of Spirit.
"If you keep making noise, you'll be sleeping in the very corner."
Xiao Bai froze instantly.
"Hyotei-neechan?"
Hyotei sneered:
"What? Are you disappointed to hear my voice?"
Xiao Bai quickly replied, "No, no, I just didn't expect you to be here with Dad."
Tang Chuan: "..."
He has given up on correcting it.
Hyotei scoffed, "Who's your father?"
Xiao Bai said confidently, "My mom lives here, and I live here too. Tang Chuan even promised to take me to fight bad guys, so of course he's my dad."
Upon hearing this,
Hyotei fell silent.
Xue Di also fell silent.
Tang Chuan fell even more silent.
Fortunately, the external sacrifice has now entered its most critical stage. The Ice Bear King's enormous body has completely disappeared, leaving only a huge phantom of an ice bear floating between heaven and earth.
The phantom was hundreds of feet tall, with its claws reaching the sky and its limbs planted firmly on the ground, and behind it appeared an illusion of an endless snowfield in the far north. It roared to the sky, then transformed into a streak of ice-blue light and rushed into the Snow Emperor Martial Soul behind Tang Chuan.
boom--!
Tang Chuan's aura suddenly surged.
The fifth spirit ring has been fully formed.
The blood-red spirit ring pulsed slowly behind the Snow Empress's spirit, while icy blue bear claw patterns flowed continuously across its surface. Each flow caused large patches of ice crystals to condense in the surrounding air.
Immediately afterwards, two soul skill information flooded into Tang Chuan's mind.
This is not a soul skill sacrificed by an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast.
The Ice Bear King Xiaobai possessed profound cultivation, and he voluntarily sacrificed himself. Furthermore, the Snow Empress personally guided the fusion of their origins, ultimately granting Tang Chuan two soul skills.
The first soul skill of the fifth soul ring is the Embrace of the Ice Bear King.
The second soul skill of the fifth soul ring is the Extreme Northern Mountain-Shaking Palm.
A few minutes later, Tang Chuan slowly opened his eyes.
He raised his right hand, and an icy blue light condensed in his palm. A semi-transparent phantom of the Ice Bear King emerged from behind him, and then he opened his arms to protect Tang Chuan.
The phantom was not ferocious; instead, it carried a sense of profound and gentle protection.
Embrace of the Ice Bear King.
This is an extremely powerful defensive and protective soul skill.
After activation, Tang Chuan can summon the Ice Bear King's essence to protect his body, forming a layer of Arctic Ice Bear King Guardian Armor. This armor can greatly reduce physical attacks, soul power attacks, and mental impacts, and also provides some resistance to fire, poison, death erosion, and evil soul power.
More importantly, when Tang Chuan suffers a fatal attack, the Ice Bear King phantom can take a heavy blow for him, which is extremely important for the future fight against Rakshasa Tang San.
Tang San's Rakshasa Demon Scythe excels at severing souls, devouring, and corrupting; if it hits a vital point, it could directly damage the soul's essence. The Ice Bear King's Embrace, however, can protect Tang Chuan's body and spirit at crucial moments, preventing him from being pierced through in a single blow.
Tang Chuan sensed this soul skill and his heart stirred slightly.
"This protective soul skill is quite suitable for me."
"After all, I don't have a single defensive soul skill yet."
Upon hearing this, within the sea of consciousness, Little White immediately said smugly:
"Of course!"
"Dad, you can charge into fights without worry from now on!"
"If anyone dares to hit you, I'll hug you!"
Tang Chuan: "..."
That sounds a bit strange.
The Snow Empress said calmly, "The Ice Bear King's Embrace is not for you to mindlessly tank it."
Xiao Bai immediately said, "Mom is right, Dad, you should still hide."
Hyotei snorted coldly:
"If he really tries to tank the damage head-on, your defense won't be enough to withstand a few hits from the Rakshasa Demon Scythe."
Xiao Bai was somewhat unconvinced.
"Ice Emperor Sister, I'm now Dad's fifth spirit ring!"
Hyotei asked, "So?"
Xiao Bai thought about it.
"That's why my defense is very strong."
Hyotei sneered: "Strong defense doesn't mean a strong brain."
noob:"……"
Tang Chuan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Then he raised his left hand.
The power of the second soul skill of the fifth soul ring began to circulate within his body.
boom!
The phantom of the Ice Bear King behind him suddenly stood up, raising its enormous hands high.
Tang Chuan also raised his palm.
An extremely heavy, frigid power rapidly condensed in his palm. This power was different from the extreme freezing of the Snow Emperor's Palm - Great Cold Without Snow, and also different from the sharp, killing power of the Emperor Sword - Unparalleled Ice.
It looks more like a snow-capped mountain falling from the sky.
Heavy, domineering, and unstoppable.
Tang Chuan gently pushed his palm forward.
"The Northern Mountain-Shaking Palm".
Boom!
A towering ice peak, hundreds of feet high, suddenly trembled. The next moment, an even deeper blue layer of ice rapidly froze over the entire surface of the peak, followed by a muffled rumbling sound from within.
Click.
Click.
The cracks spread from the base of the ice peak all the way to the summit.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the entire ice peak was shattered by that single palm strike.
It's not about chopping it up.
It didn't explode.
Instead, it was as if it had been struck head-on by an incredibly massive ice bear king, causing the entire ice peak to shatter from its foundation and fall in countless shards of ice and snow.
Snow and mist rose into the sky.
Tang Chuan stood there, his white robes fluttering, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said:
"Such strong defense-breaking power."
The Palm that Shakes the Mountain in the Far North.
This is an attack soul skill bestowed upon me by the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai.
This soul skill is based on the Ice Bear King's physical strength and extreme cold origin, fusing power, ice, and shock. With a single strike, it can directly shatter the enemy's defense, freeze the enemy's soul power, and inject the power of extreme cold shock into the opponent's body.
If used against a Soul Master, it can sever their meridians and freeze their soul power.
If attacking a soul beast, it can break through its carapace, scales, and bone defenses.
If it is an attack area or barrier, it can also destroy the structure from the inside with extreme cold shock.
Simply put, this is a powerful offensive technique specifically designed to break through defenses, formations, and protective soul skills. It complements the first soul skill, Ice Bear King's Embrace, which is both defensive and offensive.
One protector prevents Tang Chuan from being instantly killed by the enemy.
One to open up the enemy's strongest defenses for Tang Chuan.
Tang Chuan quickly realized that these two soul skills would also be very useful against Tang San in the future.
The Rakshasa's divine power excels at entangling death energy, and the Rakshasa altar continuously repairs the essence of the dead.
If the Extreme Northern Mountain-Shaking Palm can inject extreme cold shockwaves into the Rakshasa Altar, it might be able to work in conjunction with Di Tian's Dragon God Claw and Qian Renxue's Solar True Fire to further weaken Tang San's immortality system.
Tang Chuan withdrew his hand and gently exhaled a breath of cold air.
Snow and mist slowly descended from the surrounding sky.
The Snow Empress gazed at the fifth spirit ring, its crimson hue tinged with icy blue patterns, and murmured:
"good."
"Xiaobai's essence has merged well with yours. With the embrace of the Ice Bear King, your Snow Emperor Martial Soul is no longer just about offense and freezing, but also has true defense in the far north."
"With the Extreme Northern Mountain-Shaking Palm, you have also completed your second martial soul's close-range heavy attack and defense-breaking capabilities."
"This spirit ring is very suitable for you right now."
Tang Chuan nodded.
"really."
In the sea of spirit, Little White was so happy that he rolled around on the spot.
"Mom praised me!"
Hyotei coldly replied, "If you roll any further, you'll bump into my Hyotei essence."
Xiaobai stopped immediately.
"I didn't leave."
Hyotei said, "I saw it."
Xiao Bai said seriously, "That's an illusion."
Hyotei: "..."
Tang Chuan's lips twitched slightly. He suddenly felt that the days in the Sea of Spirit might be even more exciting than the great battles outside.
Just then, a deep roar suddenly came from the far north. The roar was extremely deep, like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg moving, or like a giant beast awakening from the depths of the earth.
The entire snowfield trembled.
The Snow Emperor looked up, gazing at the end of the snowstorm.
"The Titan Snow Demon King has sensed the movement of Little White's sacrifice."
Within the sea of consciousness, Xiaobai immediately calmed down.
After a while, it whispered:
"Is that big oaf here?"
Hyotei sneered, "Are you scared?"
Xiao Bai immediately retorted:
"Who's afraid?"
"I'm Dad's spirit ring now!"
"If he dares to come any closer, I'll have Dad use the 'Northern Mountain-Shaking Palm' on him!"
Tang Chuan: "..."
Xue Di looked at Tang Chuan, her expression returning to its usual coldness, and said calmly:
"Let's go."
"Perhaps the next spirit ring for your second spirit is on it."
From the depths of the distant snowstorm, that deep roar grew ever closer.
At first, it was just like a muffled rumble of thunder coming from the edge of an ice field.
But just a few breaths later, the entire ice valley began to tremble.
thump.
thump.
thump.
It looked like some enormous creature was crushing the glacier as it approached.
The snowfield outside the valley kept rising and collapsing, and distant ice mounds were smashed apart. Ice chips were swept up by the gale and formed a snow wall hundreds of feet high.
Tang Chuan looked up.
From the depths of the snowstorm, a gigantic figure slowly emerged.
The figure was even taller than the Ice Bear King, Little White, its entire body covered in thick, snow-white fur. Its shoulders were as broad as two icebergs joined together, and its arms, when hanging down, almost touched its knees. With each step it took, the earth groaned, the ice beneath its feet shattered, and cracks spread outwards like a spider web.
Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three great kings of the far north.
If Ice Bear King Xiaobai is like a thick, gentle iceberg, then Titan Snow Demon King is like an ice giant who emerged from ancient snowstorms—violent, imposing, and tyrannical.
It had barely stepped into the icy valley when its gaze fell upon Tang Chuan. (End of Chapter)
