Seventy-Rank Soul Saint, Defeating a Ninety-Rank Title Douluo?!

Snow Empress understood the look in Ice Empress's eyes. She smiled faintly, her gaze toward Xue Bingchen filled with encouragement:

"Since this is prey you chose with your own hands and believe to be the most suitable, naturally we won't stop you."

At this point, Snow Empress paused, a trace of anticipation flashing through her eyes:

"Go on, Chen'er. Mother is looking forward to seeing what kind of powerful second soul skill this five-thousand-year Ice Flood Dragon can bring you."

"Alright! Thank you, Mother! Thank you, Auntie Ice Empress!"

With Snow Empress's approval, Xue Bingchen had no more reservations.

He took a deep breath and sat cross-legged directly on the freezing snow.

His eyes closed slightly, and with a thought, the twenty levels of Soul Power within him began circulating with a roar.

"Come!"

Xue Bingchen raised his right hand. An invisible pulling force erupted instantly, steadily drawing the purple-black five-thousand-year Spirit Ring floating in midair above his head before it slowly descended around him.

Boom—!!!

The instant the Spirit Ring entered his body, a massive surge of energy several times more violent than when he absorbed his first Spirit Ring exploded within Xue Bingchen like floodwaters bursting through a dam!

The five-thousand-year Ice Flood Dragon's unwillingness before death, its berserk frigid power, and the savage vitality of the flood dragon bloodline all transformed into terrifying shockwaves at that moment, frantically battering Xue Bingchen's meridians and internal organs!

"Urgh!"

Xue Bingchen groaned, his little face instantly flushing crimson as veins bulged across his forehead.

Yet he did not panic.

"Suppress it!"

Xue Bingchen roared inwardly.

Relying on the fifty-percent all-around enhancement brought by Dance of Snow, as well as a body tempered by heavenly treasures until it was like steel, he forcibly withstood the first and fiercest wave of impact!

Immediately afterward, he began circulating his Soul Power in an orderly fashion, taming that immense energy bit by bit as though unraveling silk from a cocoon, gradually drawing it into his dantian.

Watching Xue Bingchen swiftly enter a state of deep meditation and absorption, Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance.

The next second, the two Overlords of the Far North moved in perfect tacit understanding, one to his left and one to his right, standing beside Xue Bingchen like two unshakable guardian deities.

"Hum..."

There was no earth-shaking spectacle. It lasted only an instant.

The terrifying Soul Beast auras of the seven-hundred-thousand-year Snow Empress and the three-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Ice Empress leaked outward ever so subtly along the biting wind!

Just that faint trace of aura!

In an instant, the Far North Snow Plains within a radius of more than ten miles seemed to have been paused, plunging into deathly silence!

The howling gale ceased, and the blizzard froze in midair.

Every Soul Beast roaming this region, whether hundred-year Snow Rabbits, thousand-year Ice Wolves, or other powerful predators lurking in the shadows...

All of them felt, at that instant, absolute bloodline suppression that arose from the depths of their souls!

"Whimper..."

Without exception, every Soul Beast collapsed to the ground in terror at once.

They pressed their bodies tightly into the ice and snow, trembling violently all over. They did not even dare breathe, much less come a single step closer!

The area had been cleared! Completely cleared!

For the sake of absorbing a mere second Spirit Ring, the two supreme overlords of the Far North had personally come to clear the area and stand guard at his side!

Across the entire Douluo Continent, only Xue Bingchen could enjoy such unprecedented and unparalleled treatment.

After confirming that there would absolutely be no disturbance nearby—not even a Snow Mosquito could fly in—Snow Empress slowly raised her right hand.

"Hum—"

With a flash of light, the crystal sphere sealing the four-thousand-five-hundred-year Snow Sprite appeared in her palm again.

Looking at the sleeping Snow Sprite within the crystal sphere, Snow Empress showed no hesitation. Her jade-like hand closed gently.

Crack.

The crystal sphere shattered.

The pure and flawless Snow Sprite transformed into an icy-blue streak of light and instantly merged into the wind and snow filling the sky. It regained its freedom as Snow Empress released it directly.

Seeing this, Ice Empress propped her cheeks in her hands and looked at Xue Bingchen, who was diligently absorbing the Spirit Ring in the distance, unable to stop herself from sighing:

"Xue'er, it seems your decision was the right one after all."

Ice Empress sighed, her tone carrying a hint of relief:

"Xue'er, you really saw things clearly. Rather than arranging everything for the little fellow and placing the best Spirit Rings right at his lips, it would be better to let him temper himself in the wind and snow, to let him fight and struggle for them himself."

"Look at how excited he was just now. Absorbing a Soul Beast he chose and hunted himself makes him far happier than if we simply handed one to him. Boys need some ambition and wildness, after all!"

At those words, a smile of deep agreement appeared on Snow Empress's exquisite face.

The two women turned their gazes toward Xue Bingchen at the same time.

Amid the howling wind and snow, Xue Bingchen's eyes remained tightly shut, and fine beads of sweat covered his forehead.

Yet the corners of his lips remained slightly raised, carrying a smile of heartfelt satisfaction and confidence.

The aura within him was visibly becoming steadier and stronger.

The violent energy contained within that five-thousand-year Spirit Ring had already been completely suppressed by him. Like unraveling silk from a cocoon, he was steadily drawing it into his body bit by bit and transforming it into power that belonged to him.

"His aura is stable, and his Soul Power is circulating smoothly. It seems there won't be any problems. Successful absorption is only a matter of time," Snow Empress said softly with a smile, finally putting her worries to rest.

"Of course!"

Ice Empress's beautiful eyes sparkled as she rubbed her hands excitedly:

"His second Spirit Ring is another thousand-year one, and a five-thousand-year ring at that! Once Little Bingchen finishes absorbing such enormous energy, his Soul Power may very well jump several more levels!"

As she spoke, Ice Empress seemed to imagine something incredibly unbelievable, and her breathing became hurried.

"Xue'er, can you imagine it?"

Ice Empress turned her head, staring at Snow Empress with blazing eyes, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"A first Spirit Ring of fourteen hundred years and a second Spirit Ring of five thousand years! This is simply an outrageous combination that shatters the iron laws of the human Soul Master world!"

"I think that once Little Bingchen reaches level seventy in the future and gains that human Soul Master's so-called Martial Soul Avatar... with his Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul of Ultimate Ice, that monstrous physical martial soul, and this full set of limit-breaking Spirit Rings..."

Ice Empress swallowed and reached an utterly mad conclusion:

"Perhaps by then, even ordinary Title Douluo of high standing from the human world wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from him! He would absolutely be able to kill enemies above his level and grind those Title Douluo into the ground!"
