Titan Snow Demon King!

Continuing north, he ventured deep into the danger zone of the Extreme North.

Looking out, the world was a uniform, ghastly white, almost entirely devoid of any other color.

Ice stretched for ten thousand miles, snow drifted for a thousand, and suspended snowflakes never touched the ground, whipped by gale-force winds into a sky-filling mist that obscured the sun, moon, and light of day.

The ground was thick, solid ice that had not melted in billions of years, cracked like a spiderweb with bottomless ice chasms crisscrossing the terrain.

Occasionally, the freezing winds of the Extreme North would blow through the ice fissures, emitting a ghostly, terrifying howl.

There was no clamor of life here, no vitality of flora; it was a dead, desolate, and frigid natural forbidden zone.

Compared to the Star Dou Forest—with its towering ancient trees, abundant spiritual energy, and the bustling, fierce competition of its resident soul beasts—the Extreme North was a true, inescapable cage.

Yet, precisely because of this, every creature capable of surviving in the Extreme North was a top-tier, one-in-a-million monster.

Soul beasts that could take root here were at least a thousand years old, with ten-thousand-year beasts everywhere; the density and individual combat power of these super-beasts far surpassed those of the same rank in Star Dou.

In fact, according to the explanations of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the number of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts here even exceeded those in Star Dou by quite a margin.

After another arduous day or two of trekking, just as Qin Yun was penetrating the heart of the Extreme North, the icy ground suddenly trembled violently!

Rumble—

The thick ice sheet shattered with a roar, a sky-filling mist of snow surged upward, and a majestic, tyrannical, and ancient aura of terror suddenly suppressed the surrounding wilderness!

"Big Brother, get down on the ground, hide quickly!"

Without questioning, the moment the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke, Qin Yun flattened himself into the snow, even pulling some of the surrounding drifts over his body.

Afterward, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm used its spiritual power to envelop Qin Yun.

Under the dual concealment of the Sky Dream Molt and the spiritual power, from the perspective of external perception, Qin Yun was now virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding ice and snow.

In Qin Yun's perception, the newcomer was massive, and its aura was terrifying to the extreme.

It was not just a hundred thousand years; it was far beyond that!

Unless he used the Bodhisattva's Tear, with his current cultivation, the opponent could wipe him out with a single breath.

Immediately after, the moment he was hidden, Qin Yun felt a heavy pressure descend upon his back, slamming his body hard into the ground.

Fortunately, his physical constitution was excellent, and he could withstand this level of force.

Finally, after more than ten seconds passed, the terrifying aura vanished completely, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm signaled that he could get up.

Standing up and looking at the traces left behind, Qin Yun could not help but be startled.

It was a series of footprints, each over five meters long and two meters wide, almost the size of a sedan.

It was hard to imagine just how large a creature had to be to leave such marks.

In the Extreme North, and with such a massive size...

After a moment of thought, a name appeared in Qin Yun's mind.

One of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Titan Snow Demon King!

"That was close, I almost met my end!

This guy also possesses spiritual attributes; it actually managed to shield itself from my detection.

Fortunately, my spiritual power far exceeds its own, and I still discovered it when it approached within a certain distance.

But Big Brother, you are truly lucky to have run into the Titan Snow Demon King, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Thankfully, this guy was fooled by me.

Otherwise, let alone you, even if I were in my prime, I would have only met death if I encountered it..."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm originally wanted to boast a bit more, but remembering the methods Qin Yun used to slaughter Tang Hao, it immediately corrected itself.

It was just that the number of uses was limited; otherwise, if they really fought, who would win and who would lose was still unknown!

After confirming the identity of the creature from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Qin Yun noted its name in his mental notebook regarding the soul beast that had stepped on him.

He would skip the "path of self-destruction" for now; if there was an opportunity in the future, he would simply turn it into his own soul ring!

The Extreme North was boring enough that, while traveling, Qin Yun did not mind the annoyance and chatted a bit more with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"...Big Brother, you have no idea, the life I've lived these past years has been bitter!

Our Ice Silkworm clan is only considered a bottom-tier soul beast in the Extreme North, and most of the time we just serve as food.

But these Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North all have noble origins, and the blood of the Ice God flows through their veins.

The races they each belong to are inherently among the most powerful existences in this frigid land; their ability to collect rare treasures is definitely not poor, and combined with their own foundations, their cultivation speed is simply incredibly fast."

"However, come to think of it, relying solely on cultivation to break through the hundred-thousand-year mark is truly difficult.

In my million-year lifespan, I've only seen a dozen or so, and there are only a few left alive in the Extreme North.

The others all died while trying to break through to higher realms; the barrier that appears every hundred thousand years is not so easy to cross."

"That big guy that just passed by is said to be a descendant left behind by the ancient Ice God's favor toward a Titan Giant.

The race is called the Titan Snow Demon, and in terms of the race alone, they are undoubtedly the most powerful in this frigid land.

There are probably still a few hundred of them left now."

As long as they gather together, they are invincible existences in this land of extreme cold.

A Titan Snow Demon is born over ten meters tall, and an adult Titan Snow Demon's height can even exceed fifty meters.

The Titan Snow Demon King that just passed by stood over a hundred meters tall; it is undoubtedly the largest creature on the Douluo Continent, and there is no "one of" about it.

Even in the ocean, those that can compare to it in sheer volume are few and far between!

A million years of cultivation indeed provides some insight; what the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said is basically accurate.

The Titan Snow Demon King that passed by earlier has over two hundred thousand years of cultivation, putting it just one step away from becoming a Beast.

However, if memory serves, it has not yet survived its third heavenly tribulation.

Compared to the Beasts in the Star Dou Forest, the gap is quite obvious.

Nevertheless, the goal of their trip is not the Titan Snow Demon King, but the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, whose cultivation is a cut above!

"There is still no sign of her here, Big Brother, we have no choice but to continue north.

That fellow only lives in the core region of this Extreme North.

From now on, you must slow down; you have almost reached the edge of the core region. The temperature here is extremely low, but it is home to the most powerful portion of soul beasts in the Extreme North.

Like that fellow from earlier, it even managed to blind my Spirit Detection, and there are others that are exceptionally fast; we must be careful.

Otherwise, running into just one would be a massive headache."

Qin Yun nodded, then suppressed his aura and continued forward.

The rougher the seas, the more valuable the fish; to obtain out-of-spec soul rings and soul bones, paying a certain price is worth it.

Continuing north, because of the excessively low temperatures, Qin Yun sometimes felt that the light on the horizon appeared slightly distorted.

But there are also gorgeous, seven-colored halos here that don't exist elsewhere; they must be auroras.

After walking for another two days, the feeling of exhaustion became increasingly apparent.

It was not that Qin Yun lacked physical strength; the problem lay mainly in food and water.
