Tian Meng Leads Huo Yuhao, Explaining Spirit Beast Factions

The Far North.

This is a place known as a forbidden zone for humanity; not only is the environment frigid, but the spirit beasts here are exceptionally formidable.

Hardly any human would willingly come here, and it is highly unlikely for humans to reside in such a place.

Therefore, there are basically no humans here, only spirit beasts living their lives, and the quality of these spirit beasts is quite high. Some conceited spirit masters who believe their strength is sufficient will come to this place to hunt powerful spirit beasts in order to obtain potent spirit rings and spirit skills.

However, if these people lack true strength, they will inevitably end up as nourishment for the spirit beasts.

For humanity, this is a terrifying world.

Back in the day, Oscar, as the legendary Food God and one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, once came to this world to hunt. The reason they were able to successfully hunt powerful spirit beasts was first because they had a formidable team, and then because of the hidden weapons provided by Tang San; more importantly, they were lucky enough not to run into the true overlords.

Had they encountered truly powerful spirit beasts, they would have died long ago.

So, for humanity, this is a terrifying world.

"Brother Sky Dream!" Huo Yuhao arrived in this frozen, snow-covered land wearing very thick clothing; it was fortunate he was a spirit master, otherwise, an ordinary person would have frozen to death instantly.

"Brother Sky Dream, I don't quite understand. Is there really a way here to help me? Honestly, with our current strength, are we really okay here? Won't we just be eaten by spirit beasts?"

After seeing so many spirit beasts fighting, Huo Yuhao was truly frightened. The battles between spirit beasts here were truly intense; it was essentially a place where the strong ruled everything and the weak could only become nourishment.

"Listen to me, I am doing this for your own good. If you want to obtain a powerful martial soul and acquire a formidable spirit ring, you have no choice but to seek out that person. She is an old friend of mine, and she is incredibly powerful—one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. You've heard of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, right? The Three Heavenly Kings occupy two of those spots."

"Ten Great Fierce Beasts? Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North? I haven't heard of these; could you explain them to me?"

Huo Yuhao truly did not know about the Ten Great Fierce Beasts or the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North; after all, he had only just arrived at Shrek Academy not long ago, and it wasn't long before the holidays began.

Access to information about spirit beasts of this caliber usually requires being in a higher grade, or at least being a bit more mature.

"The Ten Great Fierce Beasts is a ranking of the top ten strongest spirit beasts on the continent compiled by the humans of the four great empires of Douluo. It does not include sea spirit beasts, such as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King killed by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, or the legendary Sea Princess, and so on."

"As well as those powerful land spirit beasts that humans have never discovered."

"Furthermore, the ranking of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts is based on cultivation years, with the lowest among them having at least 300,000 years of cultivation."

"And since reaching 200,000 years of cultivation qualifies one as a super spirit beast, there are some super spirit beasts known to humans that didn't make the list because their cultivation wasn't high enough to rank in the top ten, such as the Titan Snow Demon King."

"My goodness, that's amazing!" Huo Yuhao said in astonishment as he listened to Tian Meng's explanation.

"The Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North refer to the three strongest super spirit beasts in the Far North: the Heavenly Snow Woman, the Snow Empress; the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the Ice Empress; and the Titan Snow Demon King, A-Tai."

"I know all three of them, and I have lived even longer than they have, because I am a million-year spirit beast, after all."

"The Snow Empress possesses 700,000 years of cultivation and ranks third among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts; she is a lifeform condensed from the ice-attribute natural energy of the Far North's core circle."

"The Ice Empress is a spirit beast with 400,000 years of cultivation; her combat strength is also extremely formidable, and she ranks second here."

"The Titan Snow Demon King stands over a hundred meters tall and is a descendant of the ancient Ice God and the Titan Giant."

"However, one thing I don't understand is, as a descendant of the ancient Ice God and the Titan Giant, why is A-Tai's strength only at this level?"

When Tian Meng spoke of the Titan Snow Demon King, he appeared to look down on him, but in reality, he knew that his own strength was truly no match for the Titan Snow Demon King; any spirit beast with a bit of ability could defeat him.

After all, although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is a million-year spirit beast, he became one by sleeping.

At most, he can pull off some minor mental tricks like hypnosis, but when it comes to real combat power, he is truly lacking.

"Why do you say that? It sounds quite impressive; he is a descendant of a god and a Titan Giant, which sounds very powerful. And in this cruel world, being able to rank in the top three, doesn't that prove he is very capable?"

Huo Yuhao did not understand what Tian Meng meant; he just felt that the Titan Snow Demon King was quite impressive, and that being able to rank in the top three was already very powerful.

"Huo Yuhao, it seems you really need to cram some spirit master knowledge. When something reaches the level of a god or is even associated with the word 'god,' how could it be weak? The problem is, as a descendant of the ancient Ice God and the Titan Giant, why is the Titan Snow Demon King's combat strength not even as good as the Snow Empress'? You must know that the word 'god' transcends everything in this world."

"The Snow Woman is a daughter of heaven and earth; even if she is powerful, she is ultimately a combatant of the mortal realm. But the problem is that the Titan Giant is a descendant of a god, and a descendant of the ancient Titan Giant race at that; this gap is truly something I cannot understand."

"Even the second-ranked Ice Empress, or even the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, didn't make the cut."

When Tian Meng explained it so clearly, even if Huo Yuhao wasn't very clever or knowledgeable about spirit masters, he roughly understood. To put it simply, it was like comparing iron and wood; no matter how impressive the wood is, or how well it is carved, it cannot be compared to iron.

Even the most formidable tree, when it encounters an axe made of iron, will be easily chopped down; it is the same principle.

Tian Meng's point was that as a descendant of the Ice God and the Titan Giant, the Titan Snow Demon King certainly shouldn't be a pushover, so how could he lose to the Heavenly Snow Woman?

He couldn't even beat the second-ranked Ice Empress, and the gap in strength was quite large; he didn't even make it into the Ten Great Fierce Beasts.

"So, there is no need to say more about that. The person I am taking you to find is the second-ranked Ice Empress."

"The Ice Empress? One of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, and also the second-ranked of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North? But the problem is, is she willing to help us? Are you sure she won't just kill us?"

After hearing Tian Meng say this, Huo Yuhao began to feel afraid.

"Don't worry, with me here, I will communicate with her properly. After all, this is for the sake of becoming a god, and it is also for her own sake. Besides, with me here, I will definitely be able to protect your safety."

"If I didn't have absolute certainty, would I dare bring you here? You and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope; I wouldn't bring you here to die in vain. If I weren't prepared, I would be finished too, alright?"

Tian Meng gave his word at this moment. Huo Yuhao felt embarrassed to say anything else; after all, the fact that he could continue to stay at Shrek Academy was all thanks to Tian Meng.
