"Lu Feng, you still want to go deeper into the North?" Oscar asked with some worry.
The Icebound Forest was already the northernmost part of the Heaven Dou Empire, but further north, there was a vast forest whose borders no one even knew.
And that was the true forbidden zone for humans.
"Correct. The bodies of those soul beasts contain a special energy, which fits my ninth soul ring perfectly," Lu Feng said indifferently.
"Ninth soul ring..." Oscar repeated this phrase.
He was momentarily dazed. This friend, younger than himself, was actually about to cultivate to Titled Douluo.
This was truly...
There are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens!
"Little Ao, since Senior Lu has decided, we don't need to ask more," Hao Te patted Oscar's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
He turned to Lu Feng and said, "Senior, I have wandered enough these years. I wonder if I can also join the Star Luo Empire."
Hao Te had mingled in the Soul Master world for many years and could be considered knowledgeable.
He originally thought Oscar was already exceptionally talented, but he didn't expect there to be someone even more outstanding than him.
Hao Te had a premonition that Lu Feng would definitely stand at the very peak of the Douluo Continent.
If not hugging his thigh now, when?
"Hahaha, welcome, welcome." Lu Feng laughed loudly. "The Star Luo Empire welcomes any Soul Master with a dream."
The group chatted happily and stayed in the small town for three or four days.
Stars filled the sky, and cold moonlight poured down from the horizon.
Deep in the northern forest, almost no soul beasts could be seen on the snow. The entire land was silent, with only occasional long beast roars coming from afar.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Feng's figure descended from the sky, the burning wings on his back illuminating a large area.
He gazed intently at the valley ahead; a feeling that made his heart palpitate constantly came from the valley.
"What terrifying pressure. Could this be the territory of the Three Kings of the Extreme North?" Lu Feng muttered to himself.
The second part of Douluo recorded that there were three fierce beasts exceeding two hundred thousand years in the Extreme North. Relying on home-field advantage, even a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo might not necessarily be able to defeat them.
"No, those three soul beasts don't possess death attributes. Could it be that in this timeline, there is a 'Fourth King' in the North?"
Soul power surged around Lu Feng, and a golden light overflowed from his body.
The armor combination was released, turning into the single Evil Fire Phoenix. At the same time, Luo Wu Pao appeared at his feet.
Lu Feng rubbed Luo Wu Pao's dog head and said, "Wu Pao, now there is an arduous task that needs you to complete."
"Luo luo."
"Silly dog, you have already advanced to Gold Quality, a God King level Martial Soul, yet you are still afraid?"
"Luo luo."
"Silly dog, can't you run if you can't beat them?"
Lu Feng grabbed Luo Wu Pao by the scruff of its neck and kicked its butt.
Luo Wu Pao's body drew an arc in the air, its big head planting directly into a snow pile.
"Luo luo."
Luo Wu Pao pulled its head out with difficulty, then barked twice at Lu Feng in dissatisfaction.
"Wu Pao, it's up to you!" Lu Feng clenched his fist to cheer it on.
Seeing this, Luo Wu Pao twisted its little butt and walked step by step into the valley.
The environment in the valley was somewhat terrible, not only cold but also with very low visibility; it seemed even moonlight couldn't shine in.
Lu Feng watched Luo Wu Pao disappear from sight, then hid his aura.
He wasn't worried that Luo Wu Pao would encounter danger. With his current level eighty-eight soul power, it was enough for Luo Wu Pao to unlock its full strength.
Even if encountering the Snow Empress, the strongest among the Three Kings, it could remain undefeated.
"Rumble!"
An earth-shaking sound rang out, snow falling from tree branches with a swish.
"What's wrong!" Lu Feng flew directly into mid-air.
"Roar!" An ape roar came from within the valley.
Immediately after, a pair of scarlet light spots appeared in the sky.
The light spots gradually grew larger, looking like two blood-red moons. Lu Feng looked carefully; those were clearly a pair of scarlet giant eyes.
Subsequently, a stout white giant ape with a body height of a hundred meters ran out of the valley.
Its muscles were strong all over, like small mountains; even its fingers were as thick as an adult's thigh.
The giant ape roared while running.
Heavy breaths spewed from its huge nostrils, like two streams of white smoke.
Lu Feng looked closely and saw Luo Wu Pao moving its short legs, desperately fleeing towards Lu Feng's direction.
"Silly dog, don't lure it over!" Seeing this, Lu Feng shouted anxiously.
Immediately, the wings on his back flapped, flying towards the outer periphery of the forest.
"Human, so this soul beast is with you. Daring to destroy Boss's seal, unforgivable!"
The giant ape raised its huge head, blood-red eyes staring fixedly in Lu Feng's direction, voice full of killing intent.
"Roar!"
A sky-shaking roar.
A surging wave of soul power spewed from its mouth. Wherever the airflow passed, even the air was frozen.
From a distance, it looked like an ice sword shooting rapidly towards Lu Feng.
"Damn, isn't it said that this big guy is the weakest among the Big Three of the Extreme North?" Lu Feng looked at the ice pillar close at hand, instantly startled.
"Shield come!"
Lu Feng's soul power surged, a ball of Evil Fire wrapping his whole body, looking like a dazzling sun.
"Boom!"
The ice pillar hit Lu Feng's shield with a violent sound.
Shattered ice scattered like a rain of ice, crackling on the ground.
"Human, is that dog with you? Destroying the seal, aren't you afraid of plunging the entire continent into eternal damnation?" The giant ape said angrily.
The giant ape looked around but didn't find Luo Wu Pao's figure again.
"Hmm? Where's that dog?"
While it was speaking, a golden light entered Lu Feng's body. Lu Feng emitted a surge of soul power all over, completing the armor combination in the blink of an eye.
"Big monkey, what is the seal you mentioned?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, looking coldly at the giant ape below. "This humble one is Lu Feng, first time in the Extreme North, with no malicious intent."
"Hmph."
Hearing this, two streams of rough air exhaled from the Titan Snow Devil King's nostrils. The hostility in its eyes reduced by thirty percent, replaced by a touch of shock.
"This human only has Soul Douluo cultivation; why can his eighth soul ring actually make me feel palpitated?" The giant ape pondered inwardly.
"I am called Ah Tai, the King of the Titan Snow Devil clan. What business do you have in the North?" The giant ape said gruffly.
Lu Feng pondered for a while, then raised his head and said indifferently, "Heard that in the North, many soul beasts were eroded by death attributes and mutated. I came to investigate this matter."
The Titan Snow Devil King raised its huge head, cold air erupting all over, glaring at Lu Feng. "You really came for the seal. Damn it, die!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng frowned instantly, the smile on his face gradually fading.
"Talked for so long, still have to fight. Since you don't listen to reason, Lu also knows a bit of fist and kick."
"Courting death!" A ferocious aura flashed across the Titan Snow Devil King's face.
Its foot stomped fiercely on the ground, and the entire valley trembled at this moment.
Borrowing the powerful thrust, its huge body rushed into mid-air as fast as lightning, arriving in front of Lu Feng in the blink of an eye.
Hand claw clenched, cold air rapidly condensing on the claw.
In an instant, forming an ice claw tens of meters long, then grabbing straight at Lu Feng.
"Such powerful cold air, estimated to have reached the Ultimate Ice attribute."
Lu Feng's eyes sharpened, and his fourth soul ring lit up brightly.
In the form of armor combination, Lu Feng's Five Elements soul rings underwent earth-shaking changes.
Especially after synthesizing the Gold version of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Lu Feng's understanding of soul skills was no longer confined to the soul rings themselves.
The application of Five Elements attributes could be described as following one's heart's desire.
If in a cultivation world, there would be a very appropriate term: Magic Arts.
"Five Elements Rotation, Immovable as a Mountain!"
Surging earth-yellow soul power rose, and Lu Feng's aura became heavy.
Soul power spread outwards centered on him, energy instantly connecting to the ground, then a continuous stream of earth element power surged upwards.
In just one breath, a mountain-like phantom enveloped Lu Feng's whole body.
"Boom!"
The Titan Snow Devil King's hand claw clashed fiercely with Lu Feng's soul power shield.
Instantly, ice chips splashed out, and surging energy ripples directly cut all surrounding trees in half.
"Sword come!"
With a low shout, Lu Feng gripped the Asura Sword tightly.
A sharp and fierce aura emanated from his body.
"What power is this!"
Watching the dark red sword momentum soaring from around Lu Feng, the Titan Snow Devil King's eyes widened instantly.
It could feel a ferocious aura on that sharp sword.
As a soul beast, it instinctively loathed, even feared this aura.
"Roar!"
A sky-shaking roar.
The Titan Snow Devil King's momentum erupted suddenly, fur on its body standing up slightly.
An ice-blue energy spread out rapidly, instantly covering its body. Then it raised its arms to protect its head.
Its intuition told it that if it couldn't block this move, it might die.
"Boom!"
Violent energy spewed from the Asura Sword, bringing a sharp strong wind, heavily chopping on the Titan Snow Devil King's body.
Ice chips scattered, accompanied by a mess of white fur.
"Ow!" A miserable scream rang out.
The Titan Snow Devil King's body fell rapidly, finally smashing heavily onto the snow.
Surging air waves rose, surrounding trees falling straight down. Cracks as thick as arms spread rapidly in all directions.
And where the Snow Devil King fell, a large pit with a radius of over a hundred meters had formed.
Staring fixedly at the giant ape, the fire wings on Lu Feng's back fluttered gently, his figure landing steadily on a treetop.
"Big monkey, how about it? Still fighting?"
In Lu Feng's perception, the giant ape was seriously injured, but not fatally.
Back then, he used this move to end the Blue Silver King's life. And the Titan Snow Devil King's strength was obviously much higher.
Of course, Lu Feng's strength was also not what it used to be.
Back then, after using this move, he exhausted all his soul power. But now, he still had sixty or seventy percent of his soul power left.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
The originally pitch-black dark clouds suddenly fluctuated. Immediately after, from the distant horizon in the north, a layer of emerald green light spread over instantly.
"This is...?"
Feeling the terrifying pressure coming towards him, Lu Feng frowned instantly.
"Hahaha, human, you can fight? What's the use of being able to fight? This is my territory!" The Titan Snow Devil King climbed up from the bottom of the pit and sneered.
The terrifying aura got closer and closer. Emerald light flashed, and a scorpion about two meters long appeared in front of Lu Feng.
Its two front pincers were a meter long, whole body covered with hexagonal scales, like ice armor.
Most peculiar was its long tail, with only five segments in total. Each segment was an alluring emerald green, flashing with a luster full of life.
"Ah Tai, why were you beaten so miserably?" The scorpion raised its front pincers and spoke human language.
"Uh..."
The Titan Snow Devil King scratched its head. "Ice Empress, this human wanted to destroy the Snow Empress's seal. Fortunately, I discovered it and stopped him in time."
"What!"
Hearing this, the Ice Empress flew into a rage instantly.
Immediately, its body leaped gently, rushing towards Lu Feng like a meteorite.
Two emerald green light shadows descended from the sky, which were impressively those huge front pincers.
"Hmph."
Lu Feng snorted coldly, soul power surged, and he swung his sword directly to slash.
Instantly, one man and one beast were simultaneously shaken back by a huge force, each retreating tens of meters.
"This guy's strength is actually so great," the Ice Empress muttered to herself, feeling her slightly numb front pincers.
One strike didn't gain an advantage, and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion didn't move again.
Among the Three Kings of the Extreme North, its temper was the worst, but that didn't mean it was stupid.
Being able to defeat the Titan Snow Devil King, although this Soul Master only had eight soul rings, his true combat power was absolutely not lower than a Super Douluo among humans.
"Little scorpion, come again," Lu Feng said, looking at the Ice Empress in full battle array, mocking lightly.
Even facing two super soul beasts simultaneously, Lu Feng didn't feel panicked.
Under full eruption, Lu Feng was confident in taking both of them away.
After all, the Asura Sword was a genuine divine artifact.
Moreover, Lu Feng's sixth soul skill was a rule-based spatial soul skill.
Even if he couldn't beat two soul beasts, he could pull the Titan Snow Devil King into the soul skill to 'duel' with him. Then use the Four Symbols Formation to run away directly.
However, the relationship between the Three Kings of the Extreme North was excellent. At this moment, the Snow Empress might be hiding in the dark, so Lu Feng naturally had to guard against it.
"Ice Empress, let's join hands to take him down!" The Titan Snow Devil King roared.
"Ah Tai, don't be impulsive. This Soul Master is not simple, especially that sword in his hand. Let's circle around first and avoid his sharp edge."
"Roar!" The Titan Snow Devil King patted its chest and let out an angry roar.
"Me avoid his sharp edge?"
The Titan Snow Devil King stomped its foot fiercely on the ground. Its huge body shot up, rushing straight at Lu Feng.
Seeing this, the Ice Empress's eyes flickered.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp wind-breaking sound.
A huge tail, carrying rich emerald green light, stabbed towards Lu Feng.
Lu Feng's eyes sharpened, soul power surging in his body. In an instant, the surrounding range of several thousand meters turned into a brilliant golden patch.
Golden Domain!
Lu Feng swung the Asura Sword in his hand quickly—chopping, lifting, sweeping, horizontal slash. Accompanied by the shaking of his arm, his entire body was almost wrapped in a dark red light shield.
"Sweeping Away a Thousand Armies!"
Lu Feng shouted loudly. A sword momentum of hundreds of meters gathered, chopping vertically down towards the two soul beasts in front.
"Bang!"
A loud noise rang out.
The bodies of the two soul beasts were blasted away fiercely, rolling on the snow, carving out two huge gullies extending to thousands of meters away.
"Cough cough."
Suffering such a heavy blow, the Titan Snow Devil King coughed heavily twice, taking a lot of effort to climb up again.
"Roar!"
The Titan Snow Devil King was thoroughly angry, crimson rapidly increasing in its eyes.
Ice-cold energy condensed on its body surface. In a blink, an ice and snow vortex of tens of zhang formed around it.
At the same time, on the Ice Empress's body surface, green light almost condensed into substance.
"Ah Tai, Bing'er, stop!"
Just as the two beasts were preparing to attack again, an ethereal female voice came from afar.
