Titan Snow Demons Appear, Lured to Their Death

The Extreme North Land had been one of humanity's forbidden regions since ancient times.

Thousands of years ago, humanity first discovered the existence of Fierce Beasts and, at the same time, first came to understand their power and terror.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were no longer the endpoint of humanity's definition of Soul Beast strength. In their place came the widely circulated ranking of the Top Ten Fierce Beasts.

The Top Ten Fierce Beasts represented the limits of Land Soul Beasts. The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, ranked first and was unquestionably the strongest being in the Douluo Plane today, hailed as the Beast God.

The ruler of the Extreme North Land was the Heavenly Snow Woman, Snow Empress, whose cultivation was nearing seven hundred thousand years.

At the same time, the Extreme North Land was also home to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Ice Empress, ranked seventh among the Top Ten Fierce Beasts, as well as the Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King, whose cultivation had likewise reached the Fierce Beast level.

Humanity did not know whether the Extreme North Land concealed other Fierce Beasts, but even the strength it displayed openly was enough to make every power on the continent wary and fearful. That was the greatest source of confidence allowing the Extreme North Land, like the Star Dou Great Forest, to call itself one of humanity's forbidden regions!

After leaving the outer region and formally entering the Mixed Circle, Shattered Star Douluo left the group to investigate the surroundings, while Nebula Douluo Manyi continued guarding the two of them.

Shattered Star Douluo's martial soul, Star Shatter Light, possessed the power to destroy space, granting him astonishing speed and attack power. At the same time, his Level 95 Soul Power was enough to earn him a place among the continent's most renowned experts. Under his search, in less than half a day, he found a Soul Beast suitable for Shu Yan deeper within the Mixed Circle.

It was a white giant beast over thirty meters tall. It walked upright like a human, and its entire body was covered in white fur, allowing it to nearly blend into the surrounding white world.

Though its fur concealed much of it, the giant beast's terrifying muscles and ferocious face could still be vaguely seen. Yet what was even more shocking was the beast's race.

After watching from afar for a while, surprise appeared on Shattered Star Douluo's face, only to be replaced by a slight gloom.

"This guy... his luck is truly unbelievable..."

Shattered Star Douluo muttered. The last time he had come to the Extreme North Land with Shu Yan, the two had remained here for nearly ten days before finding a Soul Beast suitable for Shu Yan. Yet this time, they had been here for less than two hours and had already made such an astonishing discovery.

Nebula Douluo Manyi's expression was not much better. She had recognized the Soul Beast's race at first glance and could also see that its cultivation had just surpassed ten thousand years. Whether in terms of age or race, it was undoubtedly highly suitable for Shu Yan.

After exchanging a glance, Shattered Star Douluo turned slightly and said, "Your Highness Princess, this Soul Beast is exceptionally suitable for young Shu, but..."

Xu Jiujiu's gaze was likewise drawn to the giant beast in the distance. Noticing the hesitation in the two Titled Douluo's expressions, she roughly understood what they meant.

"Is there something special about this Soul Beast, for Grandmother Manyi and Senior Shattered Star to be so cautious?"

Shattered Star Douluo sighed softly before answering, "Your Highness Princess may not know much about the distribution of Soul Beast races in the Extreme North Land. The race behind this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is extremely rare and powerful. It is called the Titan Snow Demon. It is said to be descended from the Ancient Ice God and ancient giants. Though members of this race do not possess the enhancement of Extreme Ice, few races can contend with their physical strength. In some respects, Titan Snow Demons are the Titan Giant Apes of the Extreme North Land. Within the Extreme North Land, they may even be more terrifying than Titan Giant Apes..."

"Ordinarily, given the rarity of such a supreme Soul Beast as a Titan Snow Demon, an average Soul Master would likely need to search for several months before encountering one. Yet now, our luck seems a little too good..."

After a pause, Shattered Star Douluo continued, "If that were all, this Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Snow Demon naturally would not be worth fearing. But what is truly terrifying is the king of its race, the Titan Snow Demon King. It is a Fierce Beast-level existence said to have cultivated for more than two hundred and fifty thousand years. Titan Snow Demons have never acted alone, and their kin will certainly be nearby. Once we fail to kill it in a single strike and allow it to send a message, that Titan Snow Demon King will likely charge out from the Core Circle within fifteen minutes and begin hunting us down madly..."

The moment Shattered Star Douluo finished speaking, a faint tremor suddenly ran through the ground. Countless clumps of snow and ice were shaken into the air before falling again.

Within the snowy curtain in the distance, two more giant beasts were swiftly approaching. These two were also around thirty meters tall, and their cultivation had likewise surpassed ten thousand years. Three Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Snow Demons were already enough to hunt powerful Soul Beasts with over fifty thousand years of cultivation. Their combat strength was truly terrifying.

Shattered Star Douluo sighed, then looked toward Shu Yan and said with a hint of regret, "Young Shu, it is not that I do not dare take the gamble. It is simply too dangerous to hunt Titan Snow Demons in the Extreme North Land. We are already deep within the Extreme North Land. I cannot treat anyone's life as a joke. This is the order His Majesty gave me..."

Nebula Douluo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded as well.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Shu Yan with some hesitation, preparing to ask for his opinion.

Shu Yan's expression remained unchanged, calm as ever. After gazing into the distance for a while, he quietly said, "It is already too late. They have discovered us."

His words snapped them awake. Shattered Star Douluo abruptly turned around and saw that the three Titan Snow Demons, who had been fairly far away, were already gradually approaching them, their pace even quickening.

"Damn it, these beasts are actually this sensitive to auras."

Shattered Star Douluo cursed inwardly after coming back to his senses. Three Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Snow Demons could not cause much trouble before him. What he feared was the Titan Snow Demon King behind them. Otherwise, Shu Yan could already have begun absorbing his Soul Ring.

They had been so shocked earlier that they had forgotten to conceal the four of their auras. Who would have thought Titan Snow Demons would be so sensitive to auras that, from over three kilometers away, they could still lock onto them with such precision?

Just as Shattered Star Douluo was preparing to take the other two and flee, Shu Yan suddenly spoke. "Since we cannot kill them here, lure them out of the Mixed Circle. We will make our move in the outer region and kill all three in a single strike. I believe that should not be difficult for Grandmother Manyi and Senior Shattered Star, right?"

Shattered Star Douluo froze slightly. Before he could consider whether Shu Yan's plan was feasible, he saw Shu Yan take out a fist-sized jade bottle from his Soul Tool. After opening it, Shu Yan used Soul Power to toss it into the air. The white powder inside instantly scattered with the wind like it was blanketing the sky, directly into the path of the three Titan Snow Demons.

Shattered Star Douluo's expression changed slightly. "What is that?"

Shu Yan merely smiled. "Soul Beast Frenzy Powder, made by a friend of Medical Immortal Douluo. A Soul Beast only needs to touch a little of it for its rationality to plummet, while its battle intent and desire to kill will continuously swell. It is a kind of Beast Medicine still under trial. When I went to treat my internal injuries last time, I happened to obtain it from Senior Medical Immortal..."

Shattered Star Douluo/Nebula Douluo: You really are something, kid.

Suppressing the twitching of his lips, Shattered Star Douluo exchanged a rather helpless glance with Nebula Douluo, then silently accepted the situation.

Nebula Douluo rose into the air, nine perfectly matched Soul Rings revolving beneath her feet. Looking at the three Titan Snow Demons, who had become noticeably more frenzied than before, she exhaled softly. Then, from the sky, she continuously unleashed wave after wave of Soul Power attacks. These attacks came with tracking, each one landing precisely on the three Titan Snow Demons and shaking loose the surrounding rocks.

These Soul Power attacks were clearly insufficient to kill the Titan Snow Demons, and they might not even be able to pierce their astonishingly defensive fur. Yet these humiliating attacks quickly drove the increasingly crazed Titan Snow Demons below completely red-eyed. Roaring, they charged after Nebula Douluo in the air at high speed. Wherever they passed, the earth shook and mountains quaked, leaving devastation in their wake. This showed just how terrifying the Titan Snow Demons' destructive power truly was.

Shattered Star Douluo appeared behind them with Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu. With a casual wave of his arm, fierce winds rose and swiftly dispersed every trace of aura scattered through the surroundings. Watching the three Titan Snow Demons and Nebula Douluo gradually disappear into the distance, he waited for a moment. Only after confirming that they had not drawn any other Titan Snow Demons over did he rapidly follow after them...
