Second Spirit Skill! Extreme North!

The many Great Beasts, including Snow Empress, all turned their heads to look at Liu Feng in surprise.

Snow Empress nodded gently, a glimmer of brilliance flashing in her eyes as she said, "Thank you. You are a good child."

Lord Bear was the first to shout, "Absolutely not! What kind of place is the Extreme North? Even our Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan cannot survive there!"

"With your scrawny arms and legs, wouldn't you just freeze into an ice cube the moment you arrived?"

The other Great Beasts also shook their heads one after another; the two regions were ten thousand miles apart, and the Extreme North was a land of bitter cold.

Furthermore, Liu Feng and Three-Eyed Golden Lion were far too important to the Star Dou Great Forest.

None of the Great Beasts were willing to let them go there and take such risks.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion also spoke up, "Liu Feng, I am not afraid of the cold there, but you cannot go!"

At this moment, Snow Empress suddenly turned and walked toward Liu Feng.

The group of Great Beasts followed closely, fearing that Snow Empress might snatch Liu Feng away.

Snow Empress bent down and gently stroked Liu Feng's head.

"I can feel it; our auras are very close..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a cluster of purple light suddenly flashed above Liu Feng's head, manifesting into the Night Sprite Dragon.

The amethyst-like feathers emitted a faint radiance, and a beam of pure energy descended upon Liu Feng.

The next second, Liu Feng summoned the Purple Star Spirit Bow, and an orange-gold soul ring emerged upon its bow limb.

"!!!"

The Great Beasts were stunned at the sight.

They all knew that Liu Feng could obtain soul rings without killing soul beasts.

But to think his second soul ring could actually be obtained from Snow Empress?!

Snow Empress was a soul beast of nearly seven hundred thousand years!

"Liu Feng! Why didn't you use mine? My Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan's claws can tear apart true dragons!"

Lord Bear clamored indignantly.

With so many Great Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, why did Liu Feng have to choose Snow Empress?

Where did that leave their pride?

Liu Feng was also taken aback; he hadn't been tracking his soul power cultivation progress during this time.

Yet, he hadn't realized that he had already reached level twenty.

However, this was normal; after all, he had been infused with the soul power of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm transformed by the Night Sprite Dragon, even if most of it had been used to improve his physique.

"A miraculous creature," Snow Empress said softly.

The way she looked at Liu Feng became even more intimate.

She was a humanoid soul beast—different from humans, different from soul beasts—and she felt incredibly lonely in this world.

But now, there was Liu Feng, an outlier similar to herself.

A sudden impulse surged within her, a desire for Liu Feng to live with her!

Liu Feng closed his eyes and pulled back the bowstring, causing an ice-crystal arrow to manifest.

"Whoosh...!"

The arrow shot out, instantly exiting the core area and striking the trunk of a tree on the perimeter.

The moment the tip of the arrow made contact, the ice-crystal arrow dissipated into powder, transforming into extreme freezing cold air that instantly turned an elliptical area into a domain of ice!

The tree trunk, weeds, and ground were all covered in a layer of ice crystals, resembling a kingdom of frost.

Yet, it did not radiate cold air; the chill did not leak out, possessing at the very least the power of Ultimate Ice!

Snow Empress parted her thin lips and said softly:

"Very impressive. It has the power of Ultimate Ice. To instantly freeze that area—in the Extreme North, only Ice Empress and I possess such quality."

Liu Feng whispered, "Explode...!"

The next instant, the frozen area in the distance erupted with a roar!

Ice crystals flew everywhere, and the frozen vegetation became the most volatile of explosives.

Amidst the swirling debris, a crater several meters deep appeared where the area had once been.

"A second soul skill?! Good heavens, Liu Feng, you are truly a monster..."

Lord Bear widened his eyes. This level of power was something even the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan might only possess after a thousand years.

One had to know that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan had a powerful bloodline; a thousand years of cultivation was at least equivalent to a Soul King!

And yet, Liu Feng was still an "archer"!

This meant that even if this soul skill couldn't be used as a basic attack, its consumption would not be too high.

They each harbored different thoughts, yet in their hearts, they all leaned toward trusting Di Tian's judgment more.

Given time, Liu Feng might truly reach level one hundred and ascend to godhood!

When that day came, the Great Beasts would also be able to rise to prominence along with him.

"Let's call it... the Winter Kingdom," Liu Feng said with a smile, clearly satisfied.

Di Tian replied indifferently, "Not bad. Snow Empress, you have also witnessed Liu Feng's talent. He is far too important to the Star Dou Great Forest; I cannot tolerate..."

Snow Empress added, "I can offer a hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus!"

Di Tian was slightly startled. "You actually managed to find such a rare treasure?"

Snow Empress nodded and continued:

"Yes, a hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus, equal in value to an immortal herb. When the Seven Gods ascended, it was immortal herbs that laid their foundations. Now, I am willing to gift it to Liu Feng."

"..." Di Tian fell silent for a moment, and a murderous intent began to brew.

The other Great Beasts also looked at Snow Empress with ill intent.

Possessing a treasure and coming to the Star Dou Great Forest.

They were all tempted by the thought of killing Snow Empress to seize the treasure.

As long as they acted quickly enough, they should be able to do it before the Heavenly Tribulation...

Liu Feng said helplessly, "I've already said it! I am going to the Extreme North!"

"If you all won't accompany me, then I'll go by myself!"

Liu Feng stepped forward, shielding Snow Empress.

If he didn't intervene, Snow Empress would sooner or later be neatly arranged by Tang San or the will of the Douluo Plane, eventually becoming a tool for Huo Yuhao.

In the end, she would just be another one of Tang San's lackeys!

Seeing this, Three-Eyed Golden Lion jumped to Liu Feng's side and shouted:

"Wherever Liu Feng goes! I go too!"

"..."

The Great Beasts looked at one another upon seeing this.

Di Tian sighed, "Fine, let us make the trip..."

Without making any preparations, they left Ten Thousand Demon King to guard their home, and the other Great Beasts set out en masse!

A group of terrifyingly powerful beasts flew through the sky together, heading straight from the Star Dou Great Forest toward the Extreme North.

Liu Feng and Three-Eyed Golden Lion sat on the back of Scarlet King, overlooking the scenery below.

Snow Empress suddenly leaned in and looked at Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"You carry the aura of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm on you. You have its molted shell, don't you?"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately bared her teeth at her. "Do you want to fight?"

Snow Empress shook her head and pointed at Liu Feng. "It is inconvenient to keep using soul power to keep him warm. With the molted shell of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he can ignore the low temperatures."

Hearing this, Three-Eyed Golden Lion took out the molted shell of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and placed it on the back of Scarlet King.

"I wanted to make something for Liu Feng..."

Before she could finish, Snow Empress beckoned with one hand, drawing the molted shell into her grasp.

Her other hand transformed into a palm blade, and with a few swift "snips," she fashioned it into a thin garment that flew toward Liu Feng.

"Put it on. That way, you won't be affected by anything in the Extreme North."

Snow Empress said with a nod.

Liu Feng naturally complied. It felt light as air, yet the moment he put it on, it felt as if the outside temperature had been completely blocked out.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion huffed, raised her paw, and looked on gloomily.

She had felt inferior when she saw Vina, and now that feeling had only intensified.

Just then, a burst of soul power erupted from below.

Immediately following, a dozen beams of light suddenly shot up from beneath them.

"Di Tian! What kind of conspiracy are you Great Beasts plotting again?!"

A volatile voice rang out.
