"Your Excellency!"
Zhao Wuji could not stand up at all.
Under Snow Empress's pressure, even a Soul Saint like him had no ability to resist, let alone the others.
Most absurdly, Snow Empress had not even summoned her martial soul or Soul Rings. What level of powerhouse did that make her?
No wonder the Body Sect had needed Spirit Hall's Grand Enshrinement to step in before they could finally reach a peaceful agreement.
Bibi Dong alone, the Pope, was simply not worth their notice.
"Quiet, or die!"
Snow Empress's voice was calm.
As the ruler of the Far North, she had killed no small number of humans and soul beasts. Killing a few more or a few less made little difference.
Snake Granny and Meng Yiran did not even dare breathe loudly. They obediently remained pinned to the ground, waiting for Ye Chen to finish absorbing the Soul Ring.
"Old woman, Yiran..."
Dragon Duke Meng Shu had just summoned his martial soul and Soul Rings.
Then a terrifying aura pressed down upon him, like a mountain crashing down and pinning him in place. He fought with all his strength, but it was completely useless.
At that moment, Dragon Duke's gaze fell ahead, and the first thing he saw was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Could it be that some level-ninety Soul Douluo was breaking through to become a Titled Douluo here?
Immediately afterward, Dragon Duke counted the Soul Rings one by one, only to discover that the other person had merely seven.
"A thousand-year first ring, a ten-thousand-year third ring, a hundred-thousand-year seventh ring?"
"A member of the Body Sect!"
Dragon Duke was horrified.
Other than the Body Sect's sect master, he had never heard of anyone whose seventh Soul Ring was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
This young man had begun absorbing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings from his seventh ring onward. He had to be a top-tier prodigy of the Body Sect.
But how could a hundred-thousand-year soul beast exist on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest? Yet no one ever answered those questions for him.
After Ye Chen killed Xiao Wu, she had reverted to her original form and was no longer in human shape.
About three hours passed.
Ye Chen finally awakened. When Ice Empress sacrificed herself, the impact upon Ye Chen's body and soul had been too great, causing his seventh Soul Ring to take longer to form.
"Twelve years old, level seventy-six Soul Power."
Snow Empress was rather moved.
Human talent was far too terrifying. In merely a few decades, they could possess strength that soul beasts needed tens or even hundreds of thousands of years to attain.
Monsters like Ye Chen were even more frightening. In less than ten years, he would likely surpass Snow Empress.
"Her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone doesn't suit me. I'll toss it to someone in the sect later."
"I hear Soft Bone Charming Rabbit tastes pretty good. I just wonder whether the meat of a hundred-thousand-year rabbit will be too tough."
Ye Chen put away the Soul Bone and the corpse.
Later, he could make spicy rabbit heads and spicy diced rabbit. They should taste pretty good.
"Your teacher is preparing to make a move against the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python."
Snow Empress glanced toward Life Lake.
Earlier, Du Busi and the others had not attacked the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Instead, they had been asking whether either beast possessed a Soul Ring suitable for Ye Chen.
The two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts refused to betray their kind, and the standoff had continued until now.
Du Busi had finally run out of patience and was preparing to kill the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
Thirteen Titled Douluo had sealed off Life Lake. Da Ming and Er Ming could not escape even if they grew wings.
"Snow Empress, give me a lift."
Ye Chen also wanted to go take a look, and incidentally reveal Xiao Wu's Soul Ring before the two beasts.
If he had not had a force like the Body Sect behind him, using Xiao Wu to threaten Da Ming and Er Ming into sacrificing themselves would certainly have been the best option.
"Mm."
Snow Empress grabbed Ye Chen's arm and transformed into a blizzard as she rushed into Life Lake.
She clearly sensed a strand of spiritual power sweep over them. It should have belonged to one of the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, the Body Sect's thirteen Titled Douluo and more than thirty Soul Douluo were also an enormous deterrent to Di Tian.
"A successor of a god?"
"He also carries Ice Empress's aura. No wonder Snow Empress stays by his side."
Di Tian was busy absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin.
Facing a successor of a god, more than a dozen Titled Douluo, and even a level-ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo, Di Tian truly did not want to fight.
If war broke out, Di Tian was not afraid of Du Busi, but who knew how many soul beasts would die.
"Snow Empress, leave after hunting those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."
Di Tian sent Snow Empress a voice transmission.
Since she had chosen to become Ye Chen's protector, she would definitely sacrifice herself and ascend in the future.
Whether it was the Body Sect's powerhouses or a future god, Di Tian was unwilling to offend either.
Their lord's injuries had yet to heal. They would gain nothing by emerging now.
"Di Tian, this sect master is right here. Do you really need to privately send Snow Empress a voice transmission?"
Du Busi was immediately displeased.
It was not his first time dealing with Di Tian. In that original era, the Body Sect had even fought its way through a beast tide.
"Human, leave immediately after the hunt. Do not come again in the future."
Di Tian forcibly suppressed his fury.
If they went outside to fight, at least three or four fierce beasts at his side would fall.
To Di Tian, that was utterly not worth it, and it would also offend a future god.
"Don't worry. After killing them, my Body Sect will hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings in the sea."
Du Busi knew the limits of Di Tian's patience.
Killing only two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would not enrage Di Tian. A few more, and he would no longer be able to sit still.
"Teacher, I've already killed that transformed soul beast. Deal with these two as well, so we don't leave them for Bibi Dong and Tang San."
Silver light flickered in Ye Chen's eyes.
Then, two purple, four black, and one red Soul Rings descended beneath his feet in sequence.
That familiar aura immediately provoked the fury of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python. Each of them wanted to fight to the death.
"Big Sister Xiao Wu!"
Da Ming and Er Ming let out mournful cries.
Ye Chen did not spare these two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts because he was worried they would benefit Tang San.
After all, in history, Xiao Wu had sacrificed herself for Tang San, and these two soul beasts had also become Tang San's Soul Rings.
"You can't escape."
Du Busi's aura erupted from his entire body.
Natal Poison descended upon the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, instantly heavily wounding the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
The two prospective elders of the Body Sect waiting nearby immediately stepped forward and killed Da Ming and Er Ming.
Afterward, Du Busi withdrew the Body Poison to prevent it from affecting the quality of the Soul Bones.
"Teacher, I'm preparing to make a move against the Clear Sky Sect, but unfortunately, I don't know its exact location."
"I plan to capture Tang Yuehua and see whether I can force her to reveal the Clear Sky Sect's location."
Ye Chen only knew that the Clear Sky Sect was near Heaven Dou City, but he did not know its precise location.
As the saying went, one had to pull out the roots when cutting the grass. The soul beasts behind Xiao Wu were dead; next came the forces behind Tang San.
"Ask Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong."
"That old bastard Qian Daoliu should reveal the location, and Ning Fengzhi most likely knows."
Du Busi offered a suggestion.
As a member of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Yuehua would very likely refuse to reveal its location.
Even if she became a prisoner, she would not expose where the Clear Sky Sect was and allow the Body Sect to destroy her sect.
Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were different.
Spirit Hall definitely knew the location, but Qian Daoliu had an agreement with Tang Chen, and Spirit Hall's people would not set foot in the Clear Sky Sect.
As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the publicly acknowledged number one sect, it was unrealistic to say Ning Fengzhi did not know.
"Then this is a good chance to test Ning Fengzhi."
Ye Chen planned to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Six years later, he had come to fulfill his appointment. There was nothing wrong with that.
