A seventieth-level Soul Saint could defeat a ninetieth-level Title Douluo?!
If outsiders heard that, they would definitely think the Ice Empress had gone mad.
But in the Far North, after witnessing miracle after miracle created by Xue Bingchen, it seemed... not impossible!
Hearing the Ice Empress's fervent deduction, the Snow Empress did not refute it. Instead, she nodded in deep agreement.
In her profound ice-blue eyes, as deep as a starry sky, was reflected Xue Bingchen's small figure, one that contained limitless potential.
The Soul Beast race was constrained by the cruel laws of heaven and earth on Douluo Continent. No matter how extraordinarily talented they were, no matter how many tens of thousands of years they lived, they could never become gods.
This was a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all hundred-thousand-year ferocious beasts, a despairing shackle they could never break.
But...
Today, at this very moment.
As they watched the human boy before them absorb a five-thousand-year second Spirit Ring, watched the miraculous radiance around him that seemed capable of breaking every convention.
An unprecedented blazing fire ignited in the hearts of both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress!
They had sat in the Far North for hundreds of thousands of years, having long since yielded to fate.
But now, upon Xue Bingchen, they had seen that faint, ethereal, yet truly existing...
Hope of becoming gods!
"Chen'er..."
The Snow Empress silently murmured in her heart:
Can you shoulder the future of the Far North?
The wind and snow howled through the outskirts of the Far North, yet an eerie stillness descended at that moment.
"Bzzzz—!"
Accompanied by a low, oppressive hum, Xue Bingchen, who sat cross-legged in the snow, suddenly opened his eyes!
In that instant, an intensely dazzling alternating golden-red gleam flashed through his clear black-and-white eyes again, like two sharp swords that instantly pierced the wind and snow before him!
Around his body, two radiant Spirit Rings slowly rose and pulsed up and down.
The first ring was a deep purple, representing the fourteen-hundred-year Polar Ice Spirit!
The second ring was an even darker purple, almost black, its edges faintly emitting a heart-palpitating black halo!
It was precisely the second Spirit Ring formed from that five-thousand-year Ice Flood Dragon!
"Phew..."
Xue Bingchen exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The white vapor actually condensed into tiny ice crystals in the air and fell rustling to the ground.
"Success!"
At that moment, the first and second Spirit Rings shone against each other on Xue Bingchen's body, radiating immensely powerful Soul Power fluctuations.
Without question, he had officially entered the Soul Grandmaster realm and become a genuine twentieth-level Soul Grandmaster!
A six-year-old twentieth-level Soul Grandmaster!
If this were revealed to the outside world, it would surely scare the teachers of those so-called advanced Soul Master Academies into cardiac arrest!
Yet this was far from over!
The twentieth-level realm lasted less than three seconds on Xue Bingchen!
"Boom!"
The next moment, the Soul Power within Xue Bingchen erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for far too long!
His Soul Power aura began to surge wildly at an extraordinarily terrifying—one could even say tyrannical—speed!
Twenty-first level!
Almost in the blink of an eye, that invisible barrier between levels was smashed apart with irresistible force!
Yet the momentum showed no sign of weakening!
The enormous energy feedback brought by absorbing a five-thousand-year Spirit Ring beyond his limits, along with the Millennium Snow Lotus and Millennium Ice Marrow he had eaten like candy since childhood...
All that immense medicinal power, which had accumulated and lain dormant deep within his limbs and bones, was activated and digested once more the moment the second Spirit Ring entered his body!
Twenty-second level!
Twenty-third level!
Even the air around Xue Bingchen was twisted by the violent vortex of Soul Power, forming a miniature ice-and-snow tornado!
Only when his level had surged all the way to the peak of the twenty-fourth level did that explosively rising Soul Power vortex finally come to a halt, gradually calming and returning to his dantian.
Four levels in a row!
Six years old, a twenty-fourth-level Soul Grandmaster!
Feeling the vigorous Soul Power coursing endlessly through his body like a great river, Xue Bingchen felt unprecedented explosive strength filling every part of him!
He even had the illusion that if that five-thousand-year Ice Flood Dragon stood before him, he could send it flying with a single punch through physical strength alone!
"Little Chen, congratulations."
A gentle voice, soft as water, sounded beside his ear.
A gratified smile rested on the Snow Empress's peerlessly beautiful face as her lovely eyes shifted, quietly watching this little fellow who kept creating miracles.
The Ice Empress leaned closer from the side, clasping her hands behind her back as she circled Xue Bingchen twice like a curious child. Her large emerald eyes were filled with surprise.
"Eh? Xue'er, did you notice? After Little Bingchen absorbed this Spirit Ring, he seems to have... grown a little taller?"
Xue Bingchen had originally only been as tall as a six-year-old child, but his figure had clearly shot up a bit. Even his formerly well-fitting clothes now looked somewhat tight, exposing his fair wrists and ankles that contained terrifying power.
"Grown taller?"
Hearing that, Xue Bingchen instinctively lowered his head to look himself over.
He clenched his fist and felt every bone in his body crackle, brimming with strength.
To test his current physical strength, he instinctively moved his body a little, then raised his right foot and casually gave the snow beneath him a light stomp.
"Bang—!!!"
It was merely this seemingly casual stomp!
He used no Soul Power whatsoever, relying entirely on pure physical strength!
The ground violently trembled!
Centered on Xue Bingchen's landing point, a visible, terrifying white shockwave swept outward like a tsunami, carrying wind, snow, and shattered ice in every direction!
"Ah!"
The sudden violent shockwave made the unprepared Snow Empress and Ice Empress's dresses flap wildly. Their skirts were blown high into the air, revealing large stretches of fair, delicate skin.
"You brat! What are you doing?!"
The Ice Empress's pretty face flushed red. She hurriedly reached down to press her flying skirt, then stepped forward in annoyance and lightly smacked Xue Bingchen on the head with her jade-like hand as she scolded coquettishly:
"Did you start thinking about rebelling the moment you broke through? You even dare take advantage of your Aunt Ice Empress!"
"Ah? I didn't do it on purpose..."
Xue Bingchen rubbed his head and blinked his innocent eyes, utterly bewildered.
He swore that he had only lightly stomped his foot just then. Who could have known that the strength of this body had become so absurdly monstrous?
Watching the two bicker, the Snow Empress covered her mouth and laughed softly at the side. Like ice and snow melting for the first time, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
She reached out and pulled Xue Bingchen to her side, then explained gently:
"Bing'er, don't blame him. Little Chen has just absorbed the Spirit Ring of a five-thousand-year Ice Flood Dragon. That Ice Flood Dragon already possessed immense vitality and blood essence, and with the medicinal effects of all those heavenly treasures he consumed before being fully stimulated, his physical body has now undergone a qualitative leap in strength."
