Soul Tremor

(Insert a beautiful image of Ice Empress)

"Ice Heaven Snow Spirit?"

"Heavenly Snow Woman!"

What is the connection between these two?

In his memories, as the head of the three great kings of the Far North, the Snow Empress was an elemental spirit nurtured by heaven and earth; he had never heard of her having any kin.

What he could be certain of was that there was only one Heavenly Snow Woman on this Douluo Continent, and there could only ever be one.

Could it be a soul beast he didn't know about?

There were countless types of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, and what Chen Xing knew was, after all, only a small fraction.

Holding a skeptical attitude, he continued to read downward.

[Absorption grants skill--Snow Dance Shining Sun]

As expected!

This is the soul ring of the Heavenly Snow Woman!

In an instant, an expression of excitement appeared on Chen Xing's youthful face.

That is the Snow Empress!

An existence capable of going head-to-head with the Beast God Di Tian; with equal cultivation, the Snow Empress could even completely defeat Di Tian while in the Far North.

"Ice Heaven Snow Spirit!"

"What a magnificent Ice Heaven Snow Spirit!"

He had originally been worried about the absorption of the Fire Dragon soul ring, never expecting that he could reorganize two top-tier martial souls within a single day.

No! The quality of the Ice Heaven Snow Spirit martial soul was definitely more than just top-tier...

In his state of extreme excitement, Chen Xing completely forgot the pain in his body, his eyes filled with an urgent desire to absorb the soul ring.

"It's you!"

"My second martial soul."

It just so happened that Bibi Dong didn't know he had woken up yet; three days was more than enough time for him to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing didn't want to waste another second.

He directly summoned the black soul ring from the system space.

As his fingers dragged across the air, the soul ring manifested.

The room was instantly shrouded in a frigid chill, and a thick layer of frost appeared directly on the glass windows.

"Truly extraordinary."

This was the first time Chen Xing had witnessed a soul ring's energy affecting the surrounding environment.

He immediately drew the curtains and sealed the doors and windows of the room to prevent anyone from discovering him while he absorbed the soul ring.

Having made all the preparations, he returned to the bedroom.

Adjusting his posture, he began to circulate his Meditation Method, and the soul ring began to be gradually drawn toward the top of his head.

In an instant, the attribute of extreme cold transformed into wisps of soul power, surging into his meridians at a steady rate.

At the same time, in the Far North.

A stunningly beautiful woman stood at the peak of a snow-capped mountain, patrolling her territory below.

Endless wind and snow, like fine needles, raged across this world of white snow.

Yet, only the area around the woman remained completely unaffected, even her hair hanging down naturally.

"Bing'er, tell me, what is the human world like?"

As she spoke, her azure eyes appeared somewhat hollow.

Clearly, as a spirit of heaven and earth, she had been endowed with more emotions.

In the endless passage of time, the woman had endured too much loneliness.

The one called "Bing'er" was a scorpion with a body of emerald green, interspersed with ice crystals, looking just like a meticulously carved work of art.

Especially those front pincers and the scorpion tail, which possessed an extreme sense of beauty.

It stood behind the woman, but upon hearing her question, it remained silent.

Seeing that she didn't react, the Snow Empress sighed to herself and said.

"If there is a chance, I would actually like to go and see the human world."

"Hm?"

"What is happening?"

The woman's eyes, which had originally lacked any emotional color, suddenly constricted.

"This is..."

"The birth of another elemental spirit!"

"And it is also a spirit of ice and snow."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the Ice Empress behind her was shaken.

"What?"

"Snow Empress, are you sure you didn't sense it wrong?"

"There is absolutely no mistake."

"It's just, why can't I feel its life force!"

The next second, the heart of the Snow Empress sank.

The joy she had felt just moments ago upon sensing one of her own kind instantly dissipated, replaced instead by a surge of extreme fury.

"Abominable..."

"Damned human!"

"To actually dare to hunt an elemental spirit to use as a spirit ring!"

"What incredible audacity!"

Influenced by the emotions of the Snow Empress, all the wind and snow in the surroundings instantly became incomparably violent.

The entire mountaintop turned into a vast expanse of white.

I do not know how much time passed, but when the wind and snow finally dissipated, the figure of the woman was long gone from the spot.

On the other side.

Chen Xing, who had just entered the state of absorbing a spirit ring, suddenly found himself plunged into a dark space, and immediately after, wind and snow began to appear for no reason.

"Oh no!"

"This isn't a soul shock, is it!"

He had actually forgotten about this.

The reason Tang San was able to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring at the fourth ring stage was largely due to his Purple Demon Eye and the powerful mental energy provided by the Wangchuan Autumn Water Dew.

Otherwise, no matter how strong his physical body was, he would never have been able to pass the "soul shock" hurdle.

But what qualifications did he, Chen Xing, have? The Whale Rubber and the Purple Imperial Bamboo bloodline enhancements were all for physical strength; he hadn't even touched upon the aspect of mental energy yet.

While he was pondering this, a woman's figure had already appeared within the space.

"Human!"

"You have such audacity, daring to hunt an elemental spirit of heaven and earth!"

The moment the woman appeared, she carried with her a monstrous rage, and the wind and snow around her seemed to lock onto a target, all surging toward Chen Xing.

"No..."

"The soul shock of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring actually brought the Snow Empress to me!"

At this moment, even if Chen Xing were a fool, he could see it.

The person before him was no ten-thousand-year ice and snow spirit; she was definitely that Snow Empress from the Far North.

As his Adam's apple bobbed, he swallowed hard involuntarily.

The next second, endless ice crystals and snowflakes wrapped around him like a meat grinder.

A sharp pain, as if being sliced by blades, washed over him, and Chen Xing, in the outside world, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Wait!"

"There's a misunderstanding here!"

"I didn't kill any so-called elemental spirit."

"You still dare to quibble!"

"The fact that I can appear in this space is the best evidence."

Chen Xing wanted to explain, but the Snow Empress paid him no mind at all.

Just as she said, both being spirits of ice and snow, the fact that she could appear in Chen Xing's Sea of Consciousness proved that the spirit ring he was currently absorbing was indeed one of her own kind.

"Human!"

"Today, I will make you understand the price of greed."

"After you die, my Far North will mobilize all its spirit beasts to avenge my fallen kin!"

After hearing her words, Chen Xing finally understood the situation.

The spirit ring he was currently absorbing originated from the purest elemental spirit, sharing the same origin as the Snow Empress.

And because the spirit ring was randomized by the system, it no longer contained a complete spirit beast soul, which was why the other party was able to track him down through the so-called "soul shock."

Having identified the problem, he immediately shouted out into the ice and snow.

"Snow Empress!"

"Believe me!"

"I am also a spirit beast in human form, take a closer look!"
