Since they could not merge with the martial soul and staying outside would only consume energy for no reason, Ice Empress and Xiao Bai made their decision immediately.

Ice Empress grabbed Snow Empress by the wrist, while Xiao Bai skillfully hugged Snow Empress's thigh.

"Let's go, we'll go rest in his Sea of Consciousness."

Three streaks of light dove straight into Xiao Yan's glabella, sinking directly into the vast Star River Sea of Consciousness.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Ice Empress and Xiao Bai pulled Snow Empress along, finding a comfortable patch of starlight near the edge of the Fuxi Bagua Formation Map.

The three fierce beasts felt no psychological burden whatsoever; they simply laid flat, content to be passengers riding to victory.

Since they had already chosen this ship that could sail directly to the God Realm, they naturally intended to carry this "ride to victory" strategy to the end, settling in as idle guests who paid no mind to the world outside.

Outside, Electrolux brushed off his black-and-white robes, his gaze lingering for a moment on the soul spirit formation that was gradually dimming.

He rubbed his chin, muttering about how there was still room to optimize the magic circuits of the formation's patterns, before transforming into a streak of light and diving into Xiao Yan's Sea of Consciousness without looking back, continuing his endless magical deductions.

The ice cave fell completely silent, leaving only the father and son, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan, staring at each other.

Xiao Yan rubbed his brow.

He sank his divine sense into the Star River Sea of Consciousness and, looking at the three figures lying comfortably at the edge of the Fuxi Bagua Formation Map, made his request without ceremony.

"Don't just lie there. My Fuxi Zither still needs a 100,000-year soul beast proficient in sound wave attacks for its fifth soul ring. You are most familiar with the Extreme North; send someone out to lead the way."

In the Sea of Consciousness, Snow Empress opened her ice-blue eyes, pondered for a moment, and gave her answer.

"The Extreme North does indeed have prey that meets your requirements. On an ice cliff less than a hundred miles from Xiao Bai's territory, there dwells a Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl with 120,000 years of cultivation. It cultivates both ice and sound, its cry has immense penetrating power, and it usually loves to hover above the Ice Bear tribe, making noise and disturbing people's sleep. Relying on its wings and a rare awakened talent for space traversal, it has always been a thorn in Xiao Bai's side, leaving him hopping mad every time."

Xiao Yan was very satisfied with this target. The sound wave attribute was a perfect match for the Fuxi Zither, and if its spatial talent could be condensed into a soul bone skill or a soul skill, it would be even more beneficial.

"That's the one. Lead the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ice Empress moved.

This delicate and cold little girl raised her slender leg and kicked Xiao Bai's round, white-bear backside firmly.

"It's the bird next door to you; you go lead the way." Ice Empress stood with her hands on her hips, making the arrangements perfectly clear.

Xiao Bai was caught off guard and rolled out of the Sea of Consciousness, manifesting into his white bear form, over a meter tall, on the black ice floor of the cave.

He rubbed his sore backside, letting out a low, grumbling sound in his throat, clearly full of opinions about Ice Empress's crude and violent behavior.

However, protest was just protest; Xiao Bai still turned around obediently, moved his two thick hind legs, and trotted out of the ice cave, leading the way for the father and son.

Leaving the ice cave, they were met with snow swirling across the sky.

Xiao Bai ran on all fours through the snow, his speed incredibly fast.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan followed closely behind, weaving through the glaciers of the Extreme North.

Less than half an hour later, a steep and precipitous ice cliff loomed ahead.

Near the top of the cliff face, there was a massive natural depression, surrounded by sharp icicles.

The moment the three of them and the bear approached the ice cliff, a piercing shriek tore through the wind and snow, exploding from the cliff top.

The cry was extremely sharp, the sound waves condensing into visible ripples in mid-air, causing the surrounding snow mounds to collapse with a rustling sound.

At the top of the ice cliff, a giant bird over five meters long, covered in hard, dark-blue feathers, poked out its upper body.

Its inverted triangular eyes held a look of human-like mockery as it looked down at Xiao Bai, letting out bursts of provocative, strange cries.

When enemies meet, they are especially jealous.

Xiao Bai, who had been docile and cute in front of Snow Empress, felt his eyes instantly fill with bloodshot veins.

He let out a deafening roar toward the sky, his body swelling in the wind.

In just a single breath, the cute white bear vanished, replaced by an ancient giant beast over twenty meters tall with knotted muscles.

Ice Bear King Xiao Bai slammed a heavy paw onto a nearby snow mound, using the massive recoil to launch his enormous body into the air, swinging a giant bear paw capable of shattering city walls straight at the Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl on the cliff.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan laughed out loud.

He had hunted many high-level soul beasts, and he was fully confident in dealing with a common 100,000-year avian.

"Beast, where are you running!"

Xiao Zhan stomped his foot, and the black Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron appeared with a boom.

The seventh soul ring shone brilliantly, and his martial soul avatar was activated.

The three cauldrons merged into one, transforming into a massive black cauldron that blotted out the sky, hovering above the ice cliff.

The giant cauldron inverted, and a heavy gravitational field immediately enveloped the entire cliff face.

The Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl had not intended to fight the crazed Ice Bear King head-on; just as it spread its wings to gain altitude, it was pinned down by the sudden gravitational field.

The frequency of its wing beats plummeted, and instead of rising, its body dropped by half a meter.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Bai's attack arrived.

The heavy bear paw, carrying a blizzard of ice and snow, slammed fiercely into the giant bird's spine.

The crisp sound of breaking bones was clearly audible amidst the wind and snow.

The Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl let out a shrill, miserable scream, its dark-blue feathers and blood splattering everywhere as its massive body was swatted directly off the cliff by that single blow, crashing heavily into the snow below and creating a massive crater.

After taking two heavy blows from the Ice Bear King, the Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl finally realized the danger of its situation.

Ignoring its injuries, the deep blue light around its body flickered violently, and the space surrounding it began to twist and fold like ripples on water.

This cunning feathered beast was attempting to use its spatial talent to escape.

Xiao Zhan's gravity field could restrict its wings from flying, but it could not lock down a spatial jump.

"Want to leave?"

Xiao Yan, who had been standing to the side, saw a flash of brilliance erupt in his eyes.

He took half a step forward and extended his right hand. The Mystic Yellow Gilded Gold Eastern Emperor Bell tore through the void and hovered before him.

The deep, dark purple luster of the 300,000-year Taixu Sound-Suppressing Hou right arm bone, which he had previously fused with, lit up as he fully activated the soul bone skill, "Void: Immeasurable."

The suppression laws of the Eastern Emperor Bell, combined with the authority over space, transformed into an invisible canopy that directly shrouded the area where the deep pit was located.

The twisted and folded space around the Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl was instantly smoothed out by this supreme suppressive force, becoming as solid as a rock.

The channel for the spatial jump was brutally severed.

The giant bird's body had only just begun to dematerialize when it suffered a severe backlash from the laws of space; it spat out a mouthful of blue blood and tumbled back into the bottom of the pit, dizzy and disoriented.

With its spatial abilities rendered ineffective, the Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl had predictably become a turtle in a jar.

Xiao Bai roared as he descended from the sky.

Combining old grudges with new ones, the Ice Bear King held nothing back. His massive bear paws rained down, each strike carrying the force to shatter mountains.

In the wind and snow, only the roars of the giant bear and the dull thuds of shattering bone and flesh remained.

In less than a dozen breaths, the struggles of the Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl at the bottom of the pit gradually ceased.

The Space-Rending Cold Sound Owl's wings were bent at grotesque angles, most of its bones were shattered, and it lay in a pool of blood, clinging to its final breath.
