Extreme North Land!

After giving Xue Ye a Level 7 Invincible Shield, Xu Yunxiao casually accepted the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He toyed with it briefly before tucking it into his robes, then said to Xue Ye, "Thank you for Your Majesty's generosity."

"The Sun Moon Continent welcomes everyone from the Heaven Dou Empire. Regarding the border cities and the books, I hope Your Majesty will fulfill what you promised as soon as possible. It will be good for everyone..."

"I received word from home. Yunxiao must return for a while. We shall meet again someday."

With that, Xu Yunxiao clasped his hands toward the crowd. Under the astonished gazes of Ning Fengzhi and the others, he stepped onto the Flying Soul Tool and flew toward the distant horizon.

From beginning to end, Xu Yunxiao never mentioned how Xue Xing, the instigator behind this incident, should be dealt with. He trusted that the people of Heaven Dou would not let him off.

Xue Ye watched Xu Yunxiao's group depart, especially Dugu Bo in Xu Yunxiao's grasp, but ultimately said nothing.

The deterrence of those countless Soul Tool Cannons had been far too great. If a conflict broke out, he, standing at the forefront, would have no chance of escaping unscathed.

As for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, he knew it was like throwing a meat bun to a dog—once given, it would never return. He had already prepared himself for that when he agreed to their terms.

"Fengzhi, their identities are definitely not ordinary. Those people carry the air of soldiers," Gu Rong said quietly to Ning Fengzhi beside him as he withdrew his gaze.

"Uncle Bone, I want you to lead a team to the Sun Moon Continent and investigate the situation there personally. Soul Tools are the sect's future." Ning Fengzhi's gaze was deep. He had already seen the undercurrents surging across the continent, and now, with the impact of the Sun Moon Continent added to the mix, the future would undoubtedly become even more terrifying.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had to prepare early.

"Imperial Father, how should Imperial Uncle be dealt with?" Qian Renxue suppressed the complicated emotions in her eyes, glanced at Xue Xing, who lay limp in the distance, and walked over to Xue Ye.

After staring deeply at Xue Qinghe, Xue Ye slowly said, "Strip Xue Xing of his title as prince, demote him to a commoner, and send him to guard the imperial mausoleum."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xing's vision went black, and he fainted on the spot.

"Qinghe, Sect Master Ning, accompany me for a walk." No longer looking at the bedraggled Xue Xing, Xue Ye left the scene at a slow pace with Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi.

The palace guards behind them quickly sealed off the area and began clearing the battlefield. The bloodstains covering the ground were easy enough to clean, but the terror of those people from the Sun Moon Empire had been branded into everyone's minds and could not be dispelled.

For the first time, the people within Heaven Dou City experienced the fear of insufficient firepower. They returned home one after another and dispatched clan members to the Sun Moon Continent to begin their journey of exploring Soul Tools.

"This is the Extreme North Land?"

Xu Yunxiao led Xu Tianyang and the others as they stood upon a white wilderness, surveying this world blanketed in ice and snow.

After leaving Heaven Dou City, they shook off the people from Douluo Continent who had been following them. They crossed the entire Heaven Dou Empire and, after traveling continuously for seven or eight days, arrived here.

"That's right. This is the Extreme North Land. I came here when I was young. It is covered in ice all year round, with no sunlight to be seen, and Blizzards descend here as well. It has always been a forbidden land for human Soul Masters." Dugu Bo had recovered by now. Because of a single remark from Xu Tianyang, he had temporarily joined their party.

Xu Tianyang had told him that the poison of the Jade Python Snake could not be treated on Douluo Continent, but the Sun Moon Continent might have a solution.

That mere possibility instantly had Dugu Bo in its grasp. He thought of the miraculous pills and wondrous Soul Tools of the Sun Moon Continent. Perhaps there really was a way to cure his martial soul.

By now, he knew Xu Yunxiao's group's identities. He knew that the Sun Moon Continent possessed a vast empire, that the man before him was its ruler, and that having his help was far better than running around like a headless fly in a blind search.

Therefore, even after recovering, he had never considered fleeing.

In fact, knowing how terrifying the Extreme North Land was, he had begun worrying for Xu Yunxiao's group's safety.

"We'll only operate around the outskirts. We'll finish quickly. With the few of us, there won't be much risk." Xu Yunxiao glanced at Feng Tianxiang and Dugu Bo beside him, his tone confident.

As for the others, Xu Sheng had already led the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment back to the Sun Moon Empire. A wave of people searching for the Sun Moon Continent had now swept across Douluo Continent, and the border would become exceedingly chaotic. With the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment stationed there, Mu Mengyu's pressure could be eased somewhat.

Two Titled Douluo and one top-tier Soul Douluo were enough to handle the vast majority of crises.

"Fine." Dugu Bo looked around at the group and nodded helplessly. Then, when his gaze fell upon Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang, he asked in confusion, "Aren't you cold?"

The two wore only thin, fitted outfits, seemingly unaffected in the slightest by the biting wind and heavy snow around them. Even with his cultivation, he could feel a bone-piercing chill.

"It is indeed a little cool." Xu Tianyang smiled as Soul Power circulated through his body. Warm heat flowed along with it, driving away the cold.

Xu Nianshuang, on the other hand, was even more direct. The coldness of the outside world seemed to be entirely absorbed by the chill within her dantian, turning into a refreshing frost energy that circulated through her meridians.

She felt that her cultivation speed had increased considerably in the Extreme North Land.

"It feels great!"

Seeing this, Dugu Bo's eye twitched, and he cursed inwardly, Little monsters.

"Let's go. While it's still early, let's move quickly."

The five boarded the Flying Soul Tool and turned into a streak of light as they headed deeper into the Extreme North Land.

Due to its environment, the Extreme North Land was considered a forbidden land for Soul Masters. Under such harsh conditions, few Soul Masters dared venture deep into it to hunt Soul Beasts.

The Extreme North Land covered an even greater area than the Star Dou Great Forest, but because it was so barren, the number of Soul Beasts was not particularly high.

Yet it was precisely this environment that gave the Soul Beasts living in the Extreme North Land extraordinarily terrifying bloodlines. Combined with the extreme cold, which gave them unique advantages in cultivation, any relatively powerful race could basically cultivate smoothly to the Hundred-Thousand-Year realm.

Thus, the overall strength of the Soul Beasts in the Extreme North Land was no weaker than that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

What outsiders did not know was that the number of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Extreme North Land might not be lower than in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts in Douluo II, two originated from the Extreme North Land.

Beyond the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, the Extreme North Land also had the Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King, both Fierce Beasts. The first three were known as the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North. They were the true rulers of the Extreme North Land!

Within this frigid environment, bolstered by their special buffs, they were practically invincible.

Even Di Tian would not dare claim he could defeat the Snow Empress in the Extreme North Land.
