Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

"Bingbing, I..."

"Shut up!"

The Ice Empress's body suddenly grew larger. Her originally petite figure instantly swelled to a height of several meters. A cold qi overflowed from her entire body, as if even the surrounding air had been frozen.

The tail hook, held high behind her, suddenly lit up, sparkling with a dark blue light. Like a ready-to-fire sharp arrow, it swept towards Tianmeng, bringing with it a piercing sound of breaking air.

Although the attack was aimed at Tianmeng, the Ice Empress's pair of yellow crystal eyes were staring fixedly at Gu Yuena.

Among those present, the only one she couldn't see through was her. She couldn't even distinguish if she was a human or a soul beast.

Gu Yuena's gaze turned cold. "Insolent!"

A silver long spear appeared in Gu Yuena's hand. The spear's body was slender, its entirety a brilliant silver. There were faint silver dragon patterns on the spear's body, and the tip of the spear was even more so sparkling with a soul-stirring cold light. Her figure flashed, and like a ghost, she appeared between the Ice Empress and the sweeping tail hook.

The long spear was fiercely swung out. The Ice Empress's attack, under her majestic momentum, immediately collapsed. The tail hook was easily flicked away by the long spear, and the entire scorpion was sent flying back, crashing heavily into the distant ice wall, making a deafening roar. Ice shards flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

After waiting for a good while, only then did the Ice Empress re-emerge from the pile of ice. There were not many injuries on her body. This was the result of Gu Yuena's deliberate action. It was just that the fierceness in her pair of yellow eyes was gone, leaving only astonishment.

"You all..."

"Stop it, Bing'er."

An ethereal voice came from the sky. Following it were one after another of crystal-clear snowflakes slowly falling, as if the entire world were covered by this purity. Within the snowflakes, a figure gradually condensed. It was a woman dressed in white. Her appearance made the surrounding temperature seem to drop a few degrees, but it was not the kind of bone-piercing cold, but a fresh and refined, dust-free coolness.

Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful, her skin like the finest suet jade, exuding an otherworldly temperament. A head of white hair fell like a waterfall, and her ice-blue eyes were deep, like two cold pools, clear and serene.

The Snow Empress had abruptly appeared here, bringing the Ice Empress back before the few of them.

"Greetings, Master."

The Snow Empress nodded slightly. As the head of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Land of the Extreme North, the Snow Empress's main body was an Ice Heaven Snow Woman, a being born from the condensation of the pure ice element's worldly primordial qi. It could be said to be born of heaven and earth. If placed in another xianxia world, she could even be called an innate divine being.

Compared to Gu Yuena's ultimate beauty, the Snow Empress had another kind of temperament. It was a transcendent, dust-free fairy-like aura. Her beauty was not just her external peerless appearance, but also the nobility and pride that emanated from within, as if resonating with heaven and earth.

The most important point was that she was a white-haired big sister type.

With her noble and arrogant temperament, even when facing Gu Yuena, she did not lower her brow too much.

"Xue'er, you're here!" The Ice Empress, still in her scorpion form, her two front pincers slightly raised, a trace of pleasant surprise flashing in her eyes.

The Snow Empress frowned slightly. "Apologize to the Master."

"I'm sorry, Master. It was my impulsiveness. Please forgive me," the Ice Empress's crisp voice sounded. For the Snow Empress, who had been hiding from her all along, to be able to appear, the Ice Empress was naturally happy. It was just that the current situation seemed a little off.

The Silver Dragon Spear in Gu Yuena's hand disappeared. She looked at the Snow Empress with some surprise.

"You recognize me?"

The Snow Empress slowly shook her head. "I have not seen you, but I know of your existence. That is from the old past. I only know that the Father God fell, the Divine Realm was in ruins, and the Dragon King descended to the lower realm. Which Dragon King it was, I am not clear. Only now that we have met do I understand. You are the Silver Dragon King."

Gu Yuena nodded. "You are very good," her gaze glanced at Tianmeng, either intentionally or unintentionally. "Much stronger than a certain ice silkworm. You have managed the Land of the Extreme North very well."

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pouted. If it were just close combat, he might indeed not be a match for the other ferocious beasts. But brother's spiritual power is very strong, okay! With a teammate as a thug, brother can assist their vision from the side, and from time to time launch a spiritual impact sneak attack. Isn't that invincible?

The 690,000-year-old Snow Empress, her cultivation speed was even above Di Tian's. Relying on the Snow Empress's Three Absolutes, she could even exchange blows with Di Tian.

"Ice Empress, don't you think you're a little out of place right now? Why don't you temporarily transform into human form first?" Lin Feng said.

The Ice Empress looked at Lin Feng with an unfriendly gaze. Are these two also transformed soul beasts? But what's with this human aura?

An emerald-green light flashed. The Ice Empress's figure suddenly shrank, transforming into the appearance of a pretty and charming young girl.

She was wearing a green and white short skirt, with white stockings wrapping her slender legs. Her emerald-green twin ponytails swayed gently. There were golden hair ornaments on her ponytails, and a crown on her head. Her orange-gold eyes sparkled with a cold and beautiful light.

Under her skin, a faint green light could be seen flowing. Four emerald-green demonic patterns adorned both sides of her cheeks, adding a few points of mystery and charm to her. The most eye-catching thing was that she actually still retained a small and cute scorpion tail hook behind her, its emerald-green luster faintly sparkling under the sun.

If she were to become a little smaller, then she would be a standard tsundere loli.

"Big sister~," she ran to the Snow Empress's side excitedly, reaching out to hold her arm.

A look of helplessness was on the Snow Empress's face. For this fellow, she really didn't know what to do. A formless domain formed around her, blocking the physical contact the Ice Empress had hoped for. "Don't make trouble!"

The Ice Empress pouted, crossed her arms over her chest, and snorted.

Only then did the Snow Empress come forward and speak. "I wonder what matter the Master has come for?"

"Things are a bit complicated and need to be explained slowly. This is Lin Feng. He..."

The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, who had heard everything, were a little silent.

The Snow Empress spoke up and asked, "All of this is truly too unbelievable. Master, are you sure this is the future path for the soul beast clan?" The Snow Empress's voice carried a trace of an imperceptible worry.

Become a god? And then counter-attack the Divine Realm?

She looked at Lin Feng, who was still at the Soul Emperor cultivation. If it was really as Gu Yuena had said, then just the self-condensing soul rings and self-shaping Soul Veins he had come up with were enough for him to become a partner of the soul beast clan.

And he actually still wanted to create his own god-seat. And his unbelievable True Qi...

"Lin Feng, what do you want?" The Ice Empress, ignoring the fawning Tianmeng at the side, spoke up and asked.

"The place where the Ice God fell. If there is a divine soul or a broken inheritance, I need to take it away."

(Ice God, has not appeared in person in the original work, exists in the mouths of the Snow Empress and the others and in the faith of the Land of the Extreme North. Here, it is set to have fallen, with a divine weapon as a key.)

The Ice Empress's face changed greatly. She looked at the Snow Empress at her side in a panic. "Big sister, he..."

The Snow Empress's face was still as calm as water, but a complex emotion flashed in her pair of ice-blue eyes.

The Ice God, although fallen, had always been the faith of the entire Land of the Extreme North. Even Gu Yuena, this Master, her status here might not necessarily be as important as the Ice God's. Lin Feng's request had undoubtedly touched the most sensitive nerve of the Land of the Extreme North.

"Since you already know she has fallen, I can also tell you that she did not leave behind a usable god-seat inheritance. In the entire Land of the Extreme North, there is only one place that is suspected to be where she fell. There, there is only a sealed divine sword. Besides that, there is nothing else."

Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly. "Nothing was left behind?"

The Snow Empress shook her head. "Only that sword. It is sealed in a cave ten thousand meters underground. Even I cannot pull it out. Perhaps it is the key to the Ice God's god-seat inheritance, but I cannot easily take you there."

"Originally, I had planned to keep this secret forever. It is only because the Master has come with you that I have said it. In addition, what I don't understand is, aren't you going to create your own god-seat? Why do you still covet the Ice God's?"

Can't pull it out? Then there must be a problem. If that divine sword was really as the Snow Empress had said, sealed ten thousand meters underground, and even she could not pull it out, then there must be an unknown secret and power hidden within. If it was the key to the god-seat inheritance, then that would be for the best.

Lin Feng's expression turned serious. "You are right. It's just that I need a god-seat that I can hold in my hand. The Ice God is an innate god, different from a postnatal god of faith. I plan to, from her god-seat, get a glimpse of the foundation of a godhead. This process will require some special means. She is an elemental god-seat, and is even more compatible with me."

The Snow Empress frowned. She had heard another layer of meaning in Lin Feng's words. "You're saying that if there is a cornerstone of a god-seat inside that sword, in the process of your research, it is very likely that you will damage it?"

Lin Feng nodded. "It's possible, but not absolute."

To take apart a precise instrument to see, to analyze the principle, and then to reassemble it... The Snow Empress frowned deeply. That was the last remaining relic of the Ice God. Should she really give it to him?

Not to mention whether he could take it away or not. If he could pick it up, then he would have this qualification. But what if it was damaged in his research?

After a long contemplation, the Snow Empress slowly said, "I can take you there, but I have one condition."

"Big sister, you..." The Ice Empress looked at the Snow Empress with surprise. Logically speaking, the Snow Empress should be the one with the deepest faith in the Ice God. She actually agreed to this kind of thing?

"What condition?"

The Snow Empress's fair hand lifted lightly. A biting cold intent surged out from within her body. Her two eyes sparkled with a look of determination. "I want you to take my Snow Empress's Three Absolutes. If you can be completely unharmed, I will take you to the place where the Ice God fell. How about it? Based on your cultivation, I want to personally verify if you truly have the power of a Titled Douluo."

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. He knew very well the power of the Snow Empress's Three Absolutes, but he was also confident in his own strength. "Alright, I promise you."

As Lin Feng's voice fell, the Snow Empress nodded lightly, floated up, and flew towards the distance. Lin Feng also took a step forward. Qian Renxue pulled on his sleeve, a look of worry in her eyes. "Be careful."

Lin Feng chuckled lightly. "Don't worry. It's just the level of a Titled Douluo. I can still take it," he also flew up and went in the Snow Empress's direction. Gu Yuena looked at the somewhat hesitant Qian Renxue. "Don't worry. I can protect him."

The Snow Empress's figure stretched out, like the purest snowflake in winter, lightly floating down onto the vast ice plain. She raised her two hands slightly, and the surrounding temperature plummeted. Snowflakes began to crazily condense, forming one after another of huge ice blades that circled in the air.

"Emperor's Chill Heaven · Snow Dance Radiant Sun!"

The temperature on this ice plain plummeted again, as if even the air had solidified into a solid entity. In the entire world, besides the flying ice and snow, there was nothing else. Under the sunlight, it was a sheet of a brilliant silver-white, reflecting the coldness on the Snow Empress's peerless face.

The ice blades ravaged like a tornado, carrying a world-destroying momentum as they swept towards Lin Feng. Each one seemed to be able to tear space apart and go straight for one's life.

Lin Feng, in the center of this storm, was as if strolling in a courtyard. The True Qi in his body circulated, forming a faint protective shield that enveloped him within. The moment the ice blades touched the protective shield, they all shattered one after another, turning into specks of ice crystals that scattered in the air.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in the Snow Empress's eyes. Is that True Qi really so magical? Right now, it's absolute zero! He, a Soul Emperor, can actually be so at ease?

"Now, I somewhat approve of you."

As she spoke, the Snow Empress's right hand slowly lifted. Her right hand was raised leisurely. The ice and snow that had been flying wantonly in the air actually miraculously began to rotate rapidly in a clockwise direction.

In just a moment, on the dome of this ice plain, an incomparably terrifying ice and snow tornado had gathered. The air seemed to have been drawn away by this power, leaving only the soul-stirring dance of ice and snow. The Snow Empress was below it. A monstrous cold intent surged out, as if to freeze the entire world.

She shot out a palm. Where the palm wind passed, the snowflakes all solidified into ice, forming a huge ice wall that pressed down on Lin Feng.

And she herself had arrived before Lin Feng. The Snow Empress's gaze moved slightly. She chose Lin Feng's right chest as the point of her falling palm, avoiding his heart meridian.

"Emperor's Palm · Great Chill Without Snow!"

Lin Feng was without a trace of fear. His two hands came together, one up and one down, before him. Immediately after, a terrifying five-element soul power flowed before him. Gradually, the sound of a drum beating came from within.

"Five Spirits Suppressing Domain Palm!"

The huge ball of five-element soul power suddenly contracted, transforming into a five-colored giant hand. In the palm of the hand, lightning coiled, flames leaped, water and earth mixed, and wind and clouds surged, boldly colliding with the Snow Empress's ice palm.

"Boom!!!"

The moment the two forces collided, the entire ice plain seemed to tremble for it. Ice and snow and the five elements intertwined, forming one after another of brilliant lights that illuminated the entire sky.

Cold, so cold!

Lin Feng's palm was trembling.

When the Snow Empress's Emperor's Palm came into contact with the five-colored giant hand, it was actually blocked. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She clearly had not expected that Lin Feng would actually be able to block this one strike of hers.

And Lin Feng's heart also turned cold. He knew very well that the Snow Empress's strength was unfathomable. Although this one strike seemed to be an even match, in reality, he had already gone all out.

"What a good Lin Feng! Your strength is truly extraordinary," the Snow Empress's voice carried a trace of praise, but more so an approval of Lin Feng's strength. Although she had suppressed her strength, the Three Absolutes were not something an ordinary Titled Douluo could take head-on!

She slowly pushed forward. The surrounding ice and snow storm grew even stronger. Lin Feng's heart was anxious. As expected of the Snow Empress, whose strength was almost at the human limit of a Douluo. So terrifying!

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Lin Feng let out a light shout. A five-colored light shone greatly from his entire body. The light contained the power of the five elements, as if it could pierce through all things in the world. The light condensed into five divine lights, respectively corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Although they corresponded to the elements, this divine light did not have the fluctuation of elements. The energy was as one, sharp and peerless as it shot towards the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress's heart turned cold, her brows tightly furrowed. What kind of means is this? Under this divine light, the ice element only has the result of being annihilated. She flew back, and the terrifying might brought by her Emperor's Palm changed again.

She snorted coldly. The surrounding temperature plummeted again. Countless fine ice crystals condensed in the air. These ice crystals rapidly rotated around her, forming an indestructible ice shield that temporarily blocked the five-colored divine light.

"Emperor's Sword · Ice Extreme Peerless!"

Accompanied by the Snow Empress's low chant, the ice shield suddenly transformed into a huge ice sword. A faint blue light flowed on the sword's body, its cold qi pressing. The extreme of the ice peak, its power peerless.

The Snow Empress slashed out with her sword. The sword light was like a bolt of silk, cutting across the long sky, carrying an endless cold intent and sharpness as it went straight for Lin Feng. Seeing this, Lin Feng's expression was grave. He knew very well the power of this one sword and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Five Elements Rotate, Endlessly Generating!"

Lin Feng let out a low shout. The True Qi in his body surged. The five-element soul power circled around his body, forming a five-colored light ring. Within it, there was also a faint black halo. The light ring rotated without cease, as if containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and collided with the Snow Empress's ice sword.

"Clang!"

A deafening sound of metal clashing sounded. The ice sword and the five-element light ring met, splashing countless ice shards and five-colored lights. The ice shards and the five-colored lights intertwined. The sky above the entire ice plain was as if torn apart. One after another of cracks spread in the air.

The Snow Empress's ice sword was blocked by the five-element light ring and could not advance an inch. And Lin Feng also felt a huge pressure, his figure slightly shaking.

Tianmeng, in the distance, was stunned. This fellow can fight the Snow Empress? He looked at the surrounding environment... even if the Snow Empress suppressed her strength, she should still have the appearance of a Super Douluo now, right? Doesn't this mean that Lin Feng can beat me until I can't find north?

Hiss—brother will have to stay far away in the future.

"It's not just you who knows ice!"

Lin Feng slowly let out a turbid breath. In the surrounding cold, the white mist he had just exhaled had already turned into ice crystals.

"Profound Ice Dragon Soar!"

Nine huge ice dragons suddenly emerged from behind him. A faint cold qi was coiled around the dragons' bodies. Each one was lifelike and contained a world-destroying power. These nine ice dragons, under Lin Feng's control, suddenly charged towards the Snow Empress, carrying a deafening roar that shook the surrounding ice and snow until they scattered and flew.

The domain was no more. Lin Feng himself went straight for the Snow Empress. The True Qi in his hand surged, converging into a brilliant golden longsword, boldly colliding with the Snow Empress's Emperor's Sword.

"Ding—!"

The golden longsword in Lin Feng's hand and the Snow Empress's Ice Extreme Peerless Sword were at a stalemate in the air. However, the next instant!

"Boom!"

The ice sword instantly shattered, turning into countless ice crystals that scattered in the air. The Snow Empress's figure shook, a trace of surprise and gravity flashing in her eyes.

The moment the True Qi longsword had come into contact with the Emperor's Sword, the Snow Empress had already sensed that something was not right. Dissolving, decomposing, tracing back. Her Emperor's Sword was returning to the worldly primordial qi of the ice element!

Unbelievable!

No wonder it could be called a power that surpassed divine power by the Master.

In that case, perhaps entrusting the divine sword to him was the right choice. I hope you are the person the divine sword has been waiting for...

I hope even more that you can preserve the divine sword intact.

"It's over. I will abide by our agreement."

The Snow Empress's ethereal voice sounded as she looked into the ice mist in the distance.

Lin Feng slowly flew out, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. He laughed. "Not bad. Next time, I'll try again when I'm a Soul Sage."

The Snow Empress opened her mouth, quickly came to his side, a look of panic in her eyes. "Are... are you alright?"

"Breath of Life."

A flash of emerald light passed. A gentle aura enveloped Lin Feng. He, who had been very weak just now, instantly recovered a lot.
