Chu Yuan: Can You Really Not Hold Back Already?

Chu Yuan stood in the skies above the Extreme North, his gaze sweeping over the endless snowfields below as his aura slowly spread outward.

Inside an Ice Palace deep within the Extreme North, the Snow Empress, who had been meditating with her eyes shut, suddenly opened her icy blue eyes.

"This aura..." the Snow Empress murmured as she rose to her feet and looked into the distance.

When Chu Yuan's figure entered her sight, a trace of surprise appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Twelve years ago, I could still sense your cultivation, Senior. Yet in just twelve years, your cultivation now makes me feel as though I am facing a fathomless ocean."

Suppressing her surprise, the Snow Empress slowly stepped out of the Ice Palace. In the next instant, she appeared before Chu Yuan.

"Senior." The Snow Empress bowed slightly.

"When I entered the Extreme North, I sensed several teams of soul masters hunting soul beasts. As the ruler of the Extreme North, have you not dealt with them?"

After Chu Yuan spoke, he tossed several human soul master corpses out of the System Space.

Looking at the human soul master corpses on the ground, the Snow Empress's beautiful eyes were filled with exhaustion.

"I have dealt with them, but there are always some human soul masters who are not afraid of death. A few years ago, there was even a Soul Douluo who relied on his cultivation to recklessly hunt soul rings for his juniors."

It was not that the Snow Empress had never tried to stop them; she simply could not manage them all. Of course, that was also related to her methods not being ruthless enough.

Whenever the Snow Empress acted, she merely drove them away rather than killing them outright.

As a result, some soul masters believed she was easy to talk to and did not fear the Snow Empress's might at all.

After all, they would only be driven away, not lose their lives.

"Then kill them. Kill until those humans no longer dare enter the Extreme North. With your current cultivation of over seven hundred thousand years, and with the Extreme North as your domain, even if a human Titled Douluo came, they would not be your match."

With the Snow Empress's current cultivation, the advantage of fighting on her home ground, and the fact that Titled Douluos of this era did not possess Soul Cores, it could be said that even Qian Daoliu would not be her opponent.

Of course, that would be another matter if Qian Daoliu disregarded his life and used the Angel God's power with all his strength.

The Snow Empress stared at Chu Yuan with somewhat dazed sky-blue eyes.

As the strongest of the Three Kings of the Far North, it was not as though she had never killed people. However, those she had killed were people who had entered the core region of the Extreme North.

For those who had only entered the outer regions or even the fringes, she merely drove them away and did not kill them.

"Understood, Senior." The Snow Empress nodded.

"By the way, Senior, regarding what you said before about attacking the God Realm and overthrowing the current God Realm, we of the Extreme North are willing to devote all our strength to help you achieve final victory."

This was not a decision the Snow Empress had suddenly made. It was one she had reached after years of consideration.

If not for Chu Yuan standing before her, she might still have been worrying over how to survive her current seven-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.

Even though she had now broken through seven hundred thousand years, the eight-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation still awaited her. She could not even survive the seven-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, much less the eight-hundred-thousand-year one.

If she waited until then to ask Chu Yuan for a Lightning-Avoiding Talisman, why would he give her one?

Just because they were both soul beasts?

It would be better to truly submit to him and gamble for that sliver of hope.

Hearing this, Chu Yuan was not surprised in the slightest.

The Snow Empress was not foolish. She would certainly make this choice.

"Good. Snow Empress, from now on, do not call me Senior. Like Di Tian and the others, just call me Master."

"Master." The Snow Empress dropped to one knee, her tone respectful.

Chu Yuan nodded. "Get up. Go back and continue cultivating. Remember this: if humans dare enter the Extreme North again, no matter their reason, kill them all."

"Yes, Master." The Snow Empress lowered her head in acknowledgment. When she raised it again, Chu Yuan had already vanished without a trace.

"Even his departure was completely silent. Just how powerful is Master?" The Snow Empress slowly raised her head, thinking to herself.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuan had arrived at an open area.

He extended his senses to their limit and quickly locked onto a location.

"Found it." As his voice fell, Chu Yuan flashed over instantly and stomped through the thick ice below, revealing the Profound Ice Marrow beneath it.

Chu Yuan ignored the Profound Ice Marrow below. His body was like a tunneling machine as he rapidly shattered the layers of ice beneath him.

Very soon, Chu Yuan fell into a pit.

The walls of the pit were covered in Profound Ice Marrow, but the Soul Power contained in this Profound Ice Marrow was at least ten thousand times greater than that found in the upper ice layers.

At the center of the pit lay a plump, snowy-white giant bug with eight golden stripes across its abdomen, sleeping soundly.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not yet reached the million-year cultivation it would possess ten thousand years later. At present, its cultivation was only around eight hundred thousand years, still a little short of nine hundred thousand.

"Such a huge disturbance didn't even wake you. As expected of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which slept its way to a million years of cultivation."

The commotion he had caused while falling had been enormous.

Yet even so, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued sleeping as if nothing had happened.

Chu Yuan slowly took a step forward, but at that moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's fat body suddenly trembled.

"Oh no, oh no, why did I move?!"

"He didn't notice, did he?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lying on the ground cautiously opened one eye.

He had actually woken up long ago. He was merely pretending to sleep.

After all, who was the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?

He was a Ferocious Beast with no combat strength whatsoever, possessing only immense spiritual power!

Someone had barged into this treasure land, and he could not even determine the intruder's strength. Of course he had to keep pretending to sleep!

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow. As an exemplary student in his previous life, he was extremely familiar with pretending to sleep.

If the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had remained completely still, he might not have noticed. But it had moved, and even twitched its eyelid...

A malicious smile curled across Chu Yuan's lips as he slowly walked over to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Don't come over, don't come over!"

Tian Meng prayed frantically in his heart, but at that moment, he suddenly felt sharp pain in his abdomen.

When he carefully looked over, he discovered that Chu Yuan had forcibly sliced off a chunk of his plump, Soul Power-filled flesh and was absorbing it with great relish.

"Wuwuwu!"

"Brother Sky Dream's flesh! That was flesh I worked so hard to grow!"

Tian Meng wanted to cry but had no tears, yet he did not dare truly do anything.

He could only pray that Chu Yuan would leave quickly after eating his fill.

After absorbing all the Soul Power from that small piece of silkworm flesh, Chu Yuan once again reached his wicked hands toward Tian Meng's abdomen.

A second piece, a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh...

"Damn it, a warrior may be killed but not humiliated!"

"I, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, am still an eight-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast!"

"How could I possibly let him humiliate me like this?!"

Tian Meng was about to explode with rage. Chu Yuan had completely treated him like an all-you-can-eat buffet!

"Kid, have you eaten enough yet?!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's magnetic voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, he unleashed a Mental Shock targeting Chu Yuan.

"As long as my Mental Shock hits him, he'll realize I'm not someone to be trifled with and leave!"

Tian Meng's thoughts were beautiful, but when he looked at Chu Yuan, his candy-sized eyes abruptly widened.

In his eyes, after Chu Yuan was struck by the Mental Shock, not only was he completely unharmed, he even casually tore off another piece of Tian Meng's flesh.

"I thought you could endure more than this. So you're already done?" Chu Yuan's mocking voice drifted into Tian Meng's ears.
