Ice Extreme Peerless!

An unusual light flickered in those ice-blue beautiful eyes.

"Bing'er, don't rush. Since we happened to run into this, we might as well use the opportunity to see how much progress Xiao Chen has made in his cultivation lately. If his life is truly in danger, it won't be too late for us to intervene then."

Though Ice Empress was worried, she knew Snow Empress was right. She could only nod helplessly, her eyes fixed firmly on the scene below as she prepared to rescue him at any moment.

Meanwhile, upon the Far North Snow Plains.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xue Bingchen moved like a white phantom, leaving behind fragmented afterimages amid the raging snowstorm.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few ice-attribute Soul Beasts that were centuries old, and even some that had only recently reached a thousand years.

When these unintelligent Soul Beasts saw him, they bared their fangs and drooled, wanting to swallow this human child whole.

Yet Xue Bingchen could not even be bothered to spare them another glance, directly ignoring them with his ghostlike speed.

It was not because he was softhearted, but because he simply could not be bothered to act.

As the "young family head" of the Far North, these Soul Beasts could, in a sense, be considered his future "subjects."

He had come only to hunt for a suitable second Spirit Ring and had no desire to cause meaningless slaughter.

Besides...

If I kill my way through the place and turn the Far North into a river of blood, Snow Empress Mama and Aunt Ice Empress definitely won't be happy. What if they catch me and spank me?

Xue Bingchen grumbled inwardly.

Before the two peerless ferocious beasts of the Far North, he currently had no room to resist at all.

Sigh, I wonder when I'll finally be able to turn things around completely, pin the two of them beneath me, and be a real master for once...

A thought carrying a bit of an adult's vulgar humor from his previous life flashed through his mind.

Xue Bingchen hurriedly shook his head, casting those outrageously rebellious thoughts aside.

It was still too early to think about such things. Becoming stronger was what truly mattered!

Boom—!!!

Just as he was distracted, an intensely powerful sense of mortal danger surged through his entire body like an electric current!

Every hair on Xue Bingchen's back stood on end. Without the slightest hesitation, he forcefully pushed off with his feet, shooting forward like a cannonball and forcibly opening up an absurd distance in midair!

Crack!

Almost at the exact second he left his original position, a bloody maw filled with ice-blue fangs burst from the snowstorm and snapped viciously shut where he had just been standing, crushing even the air and ice rock there in a single bite!

Roar—!

Having missed its strike, the attacker let out an earth-shaking roar. Its massive body abruptly rose from the snow, revealing its true form!

It was an Ice Flood Dragon over ten meters long!

Its entire body was covered in indestructible ice-blue scales. Its two thick claws swung through the air, stirring up gusts of bone-piercing wind, while its pair of scarlet vertical pupils locked onto Xue Bingchen as it lunged at him again!

"Damn! It's fast!"

Xue Bingchen executed a nimble roll in midair and landed steadily atop a towering ice boulder, easily evading the Ice Flood Dragon's second charge.

Taking advantage of the opening, he carefully examined the frenzied Ice Flood Dragon below and sensed the abyssal, oceanlike Soul Power fluctuations emanating from its body.

"This size, this pressure... this Ice Flood Dragon has definitely cultivated for more than five thousand years!"

The instant he reached that conclusion, not only did Xue Bingchen feel no fear whatsoever, but a feverish gleam burst from his alternating gold and crimson eyes!

Five thousand years!

And an ice-attribute flood dragon?

It was also perfectly suitable as the second Spirit Ring for his Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul!

Wasn't this exactly the supreme-quality second Spirit Ring he had dreamed of?!

"Since you came knocking on my door, that means it's fate! Little loach, I'll gladly accept your Spirit Ring!"

Xue Bingchen laughed loudly and retreated again. In a few leaps, he climbed an even higher ice peak as if walking on level ground, concealing himself amid the blizzard.

Having lost its target, the Ice Flood Dragon roared furiously in place, its huge body wildly lashing the surrounding ice rocks in an attempt to force Xue Bingchen out.

This was Xue Bingchen's greatest advantage when fighting in the Far North!

For other Soul Masters, even for some ice Soul Beasts living on the outskirts of the Far North, the violent winds and blizzards there were a tremendous obstruction and drain.

But for Xue Bingchen, who possessed the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul and whose physique was naturally compatible with the Far North, this place was practically his own backyard!

Not only did the wind and snow filling the sky fail to hinder his vision or speed, they instead seemed like a gentle mother pushing him onward. The ice and snow power of this world was all lending him a helping hand!

Buzz!

Standing high above, purple light flashed beneath Xue Bingchen's feet as his first Spirit Ring instantly lit up!

Without a word of nonsense, he directly unleashed the improved, shortened version of Dance of Snow.

His body swayed through the wind and snow in several strange rhythms with extraordinary fluidity, and an invisible ripple instantly spread outward.

A fifty-percent all-around enhancement, activated!

Boom!

With the support of the soul skill, the Bloodline Power and Soul Power within Xue Bingchen's body instantly boiled to their peak!

He slowly raised his right hand, and an ice sword more solid than before, radiating terrifying cold, instantly formed in his palm!

"I found your weak point!"

Xue Bingchen's gaze was sharp as lightning. Through the layers of wind and snow, he locked firmly onto the Ice Flood Dragon below, which was still roaring helplessly in rage.

Whoosh!

The next instant, he transformed into a stunning streak descending from the heavens. Gripping the ice sword with both hands and carrying the force of ten thousand pounds, he charged straight at the Ice Flood Dragon!

Sensing the lethal threat descending from above, the Ice Flood Dragon abruptly raised its head and opened its bloody maw, preparing to unleash a blast of freezing breath.

However, Xue Bingchen was too fast!

"Emperor Sword..."

Xue Bingchen let out a low roar in midair, recalling Snow Empress's breathtaking yet deadly dance. The trajectory of the ice sword in his hand instantly became incomparably profound, as though it had stirred the laws of absolute cold throughout heaven and earth!

Ice Extreme Peerless!!!

Though it was only an exceedingly faint trace of the true intent of the Emperor Sword, the instant this sword strike was unleashed, the surrounding wind and snow fell into absolute stillness!

A dazzling ice-blue sword light tore through the Ice Flood Dragon's proud freezing breath as easily as cutting tofu!

Rip—!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the crisp sound of flesh being torn apart.

Xue Bingchen's figure crossed past the Ice Flood Dragon, landing steadily in the snow behind it as the ice sword in his hand slowly dispersed.

Behind him, the five-thousand-year Ice Flood Dragon stood frozen in place, the life in its eyes swiftly fading away.

At its vital point, a bottomless sword wound had pierced through its tough scales. Along with its heart, it had been instantly frozen into powder by Ultimate Ice!
