Not long after continuing deeper into the core area of the Far North, streaks of brilliant, eerie green light constantly flickered in the night sky, changing shape and radiating beautiful, splendid brilliance.
If one were to ignore the extreme climate here, it would be a beautiful paradise on Earth.
Xu Nianshuang's first two Spirit Abilities were Ice Crystal Replacement and Ice Explosion; her third Spirit Ability would ideally be one that enhances her attributes.
Now, Xu Nianshuang's Spirit, having undergone multiple transformations, was only a step away from the Ultimate Ice. If a spirit ring could provide a boost, that would naturally be excellent.
Therefore, this time, the target was set on a few Spirit Beasts in the Far North that possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute.
The deeper they ventured into the Far North wilderness, the thicker the snow became. Coupled with the occasional blizzards raging in the sky, the five chose to travel on the ground to conceal their presence.
"Huh." While traveling, Xu Yunxiao stopped, looking ahead with a solemn expression. "It seems we've encountered something extraordinary."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly turned serious. Dugu Bo, alerted by Xu Yunxiao, also sensed an incredibly terrifying aura from a distance with his Titled Douluo-level perception.
The ancientness of the aura far surpassed any Spirit Beast he had ever seen.
The group cautiously concealed themselves, and soon after, their eyes widened. What came into view was an incomparably massive beast, or more accurately, a giant.
This giant was about twenty meters tall, and its form was remarkably similar to that of a human. Its arms were long, its entire body was covered in long, snow-white fur, and even its face resembled a human's.
His forehead had many wrinkles, his skin was grayish-blue, and he had two huge tusks, which revealed his true nature as a Spirit Beast.
"This is a Tai Tan Snow Demon," Xu Tianyang's solemn voice echoed in their ears.
Information about the Far North is scarce in the outside world, and even the Spirit Beasts within it are vaguely documented. Upon seeing the Tai Tan Snow Demon, Dugu Bo and Xu Yunxiao did not recognize it immediately.
They even thought it might be a mutated Titan Giant Ape.
At this moment, hearing that Xu Tianyang recognized this Spirit Beast, they all perked up their ears and listened quietly.
The three Heavenly Kings of the Far North are the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and the Titan Snow Demon King.
Their origins are also extremely noble, coming from the Ice Snow Maiden, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and the Tai Tan Snow Demon race, respectively. These are the royal races of the Far North, with the bloodline of the Ice God flowing through them, and are among the most powerful existences in this frigid land.
And the Tai Tan Snow Demon race, according to legend, are descendants left behind when the ancient Ice God favored the Tai Tan Giants.
In terms of race alone, they are undoubtedly the most powerful in this frigid land, numbering in the hundreds, making them an undisputed powerful race of the Far North.
The Tai Tan Snow Demon race, like the Titan Giant Ape of the Star Dou Great Forest, inherited the bloodline of the ancient Tai Tan Giants, being incomparably tall and powerful. Tai Tan Snow Demons are born over ten meters tall, and adult Tai Tan Snow Demons can exceed fifty meters in height.
The patriarch of this race, the Titan Snow Demon King, is one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. His body is over a hundred meters long, making him one of the most massive Spirit Beasts in the world.
This Tai Tan Snow Demon in front of them was only about twenty meters tall, with an age of around five thousand years. It had not yet reached adulthood, but it was already the most massive land Spirit Beast they had ever seen.
Hearing Xu Tianyang's description, Xu Yunxiao and the other four looked at the distant giant beast in surprise, unable to help but marvel at the terror of the Far North.
"Then Tianyang, this Spirit Beast is very suitable for Shuang'er."
After marveling, Xu Yunxiao looked at the distant Tai Tan Snow Demon with pleasant surprise. A royal race from the Far North, was there a Spirit Beast more suitable for Xu Nianshuang than this?
Moreover, its age was only around five thousand years. Xu Nianshuang's second spirit ring was already at the thousand-year level, and she had consumed many whale gels afterward, including some at the hundred-thousand-year level. Before departing, tests had been conducted, and although Xu Nianshuang's body was not as terrifying as Xu Tianyang's, it had reached level forty-three.
Absorbing a five-thousand-year third spirit ring would be completely risk-free.
Hearing Xu Yunxiao's words, Xu Nianshuang also looked at Xu Tianyang with anticipation. This Spirit Beast was simply perfect for her.
After a moment of thought, Xu Tianyang nodded to the group: "Father, we must strike in one blow and finish quickly. We absolutely cannot cause a big commotion. The Tai Tan Snow Demon race is very powerful, and there must be hundred-thousand-year-level fierce beasts among them. Due to the rarity of their race, they must be very protective of their kin. If they were to notice us, even Father would likely not be a match for a hundred-thousand-year-level Tai Tan Snow Demon in this Far North."
"The commotion caused by the battle is very likely to attract other Spirit Beasts, and then we would be in dire straits."
Xu Tianyang knew the terror of the Far North more than anyone present: the level ninety-nine Snow Empress, the approximately level ninety-seven Ice Empress, and also the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King. There were already four Super Douluo-level powerhouses on the surface, not to mention countless hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
What's more, the Spirit Beasts of the Far North were also very united. If they were to be noticed by the aforementioned individuals, then they would truly be in danger.
"Good!"
Although he didn't know why his son seemed so wary of the Far North, out of trust, Xu Yunxiao still chose to believe him. Xu Tianyang had read many ancient texts, and perhaps there was some taboo mentioned within them.
Just like that one in the Demon Forest!
Thinking of this, Xu Yunxiao suddenly became alert. Since the Demon Forest on the Sun and Moon Continent could have an existence like the Evil Emperor, why couldn't the Far North, known as a human forbidden zone on the Douluo Continent, give birth to a similar existence?
Recalling the terror of the Evil Emperor, Xu Yunxiao instantly became fully focused, gravely surveying the surroundings.
"Tianxiang, Dugu, you two protect Tianyang and Shuang'er well." Xu Yunxiao said solemnly to Dugu Bo and Feng Tianxiang.
Under their serious gazes, Xu Yunxiao moved. His Right Leg Bone emitted a rich glow, and the next moment, he crossed a thousand meters of space, appearing in front of the distant Tai Tan Snow Demon.
"Roar?"
The Tai Tan Snow Demon, dazed in the snow, looked at the appearing Xu Yunxiao in confusion. When did this human appear?
Wait... a human?
Subconsciously wanting to let out a roaring bellow, his massive palm swung over like swatting a fly, intending to flatten Xu Yunxiao directly. A powerful wave of air directly rushed towards the incoming Xu Yunxiao.
However, the latter's figure was not much affected. The Tai Tan Snow Demon was fast, but Xu Yunxiao's movements were even faster. The moment the opponent opened its mouth, a Dragon King's iron fist directly struck the top of its head.
"Bang!!!"
The massive beast crashed to the ground with a thud, and the entire snowfield trembled incessantly, sending countless snowflakes scattering.
