The Sixth Soul Ring

The sparring match with Ice Bear King Xiaobai was merely a warm-up for Lu Xuan to hone his combat skills; he never revealed his true full strength from beginning to end.

Facing the Hundred Thousand Year Mirror Shadow Beast, Lu Xuan no longer held back. He activated the [Dark Demon Evil God Transformation] with a roar, and at the same time, the domain power carried by his External Soul Bone was unleashed!

The [Dark Demon Evil God Transformation] erupted, causing all of Lu Xuan's attributes to surge by 300%. His strength, speed, Soul Power, and mental power underwent a tremendous qualitative change simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the [Evil God Domain] that enveloped all directions slowly expanded, like a dark tide swallowing up this snowfield, continuously widening the gap in strength between the two sides.

Once the Soul Skill unleashed by the Mirror Shadow Beast enter the domain's range, they will be frantically eroded and destroyed by the domain's power, causing their power to rapidly diminish.

The Mirror Shadow Beast looked up at Lu Xuan, feeling the terrifying aura that suddenly surged and made its soul tremble. Instantly, it made a judgment.

He was no match for the humans before him.

Escape! We must escape immediately!

The thought had barely formed in its mind when the Mirror Shadow Beast realized that the surrounding space had been locked by the domain.

It's all too late.

When facing the Mirror Shadow Beast, Lu Xuan showed none of the gentleness he displayed when sparring with Xiao Bai.

With a thought, he gathered his immense Soul Power and unleashed a [Dark Devilgod Slash]! The pitch-black blade light tore through the frigid winds of the Far North, carrying a ferocious power capable of destroying everything, and slashed directly at the massive body of the Mirror Shadow Beast.

A flash of cold light appeared.

The massive body split in two with a snap, spraying blood onto the pristine white snow in a glaring display.

The Mirror Shadow Beast's massive body slowly tilted to the ground, and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, its entire body shimmering with a rich crimson aura, slowly rose from above its corpse, hovering quietly in mid-air.

Looking at the Soul Ring he had been searching for so long, Lu Xuan's tense heart finally settled down, and a sense of relief welled up in his heart. The goal he had spent months searching for, traversing the Far North snowfields, was finally in his hands.

Without a moment's delay, Lu Xuan immediately focused his mind and regulated his breathing, quickly recovering the Soul Power and physical strength he had just consumed, preparing to help the [Black Jade Divine Flute] absorb this hard-won Sixth Soul Ring.

He had already absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring and Inner Core, and had witnessed the extremely violent energy impact of a hundred thousand years' level. The backlash brought by the Mirror Shadow Beast's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was not an insurmountable obstacle for him.

However, the Soul Power contained within Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is as vast as the sea, and it is destined to take a considerable amount of time to refine it smoothly.

This place is the Far North glacier, where countless powerful Soul Beast lurk.

The strong stench of Soul Beast blood wafted in the cold wind, posing a constant threat to those who might covet it. Absorbing Soul Ring while sitting cross-legged in this environment was fraught with danger, allowing no room for complacency.

Lu Xuan gestured to Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Azure Sea Snow Iron Dragon to be on guard around, then sat down on the ground and slowly brought the blood-red Soul Ring closer to himself.

The Azure Sea Snow Iron Dragon lay prone on the snow, its massive body taut. Its beastly eyes scanned back and forth in the cold light of the icy plain, keenly sensing the fluctuations of Soul Power coming from all directions, firmly guarding one side of the defensive line.

Dugu Yan stood on the other side, holding the White Python Whip, her poisonous power secretly gathering but not yet unleashed, vigilantly watching for any unusual movements deep in the snowfield.

Ye Lingling collected the Hundred Thousand Year Head Soul Bone that had been extracted from the Mirror Shadow Beast. After carefully storing it away, she stood quietly by his side, ready to use her healing Soul Skill to protect Lu Xuan, who was absorbing the Soul Ring.

The Ice Bear King Xiaobai, had already noticed the commotion from afar. He knew very well that this was Lu Xuan's weakest moment, and if he seized this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, he might have a chance to kill him.

But Xiao Bai had no intention of stepping forward to fight. Instead, he stood steadily on the distant ice hill, taking the initiative to stand guard for everyone and stop the approaching Soul Beast.

He knew in his heart that if the other powerful figures in the Far North found out about this, they would definitely condemn him as a traitor to his clan.

However, Xiao Bai disdained taking advantage of others' misfortunes and resorting to underhanded tactics when his opponent was in seclusion refining their Soul Ring.

More than an hour passed slowly, the biting Far North wind and snow howled and surged, and a heavy, mountain-like footstep came from afar.

Titan Snow Demon Ape A-Tai shattered the thick snow, its massive body appearing on the horizon of the icy plain.

He immediately spotted Lu Xuan sitting cross-legged, absorbing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. A fierce greed flashed in his beastly eyes, which were covered in white fur.

A strong premonition arose in his heart: if he could swallow this human, his own cultivation would be greatly enhanced, and he might even be able to break through to a higher age limit.

With a chilling killing intent, A-Tai's gaze locked onto Xiao Bai on the ice hill, his deep, heavy voice piercing through the wind and snow. "Xiao Bai, are you sure you want to stop me?"

Xiao Bai White stood tall, its massive bear body tense, a chilling aura emanating from it. It coldly stared back at the Titan Snow Demon Ape: "A-Tai, since I have important business to attend to today and don't want to go on a killing spree, you'd better get lost!"

These words ignited the Titan Snow Demon Ape's fury. He roared, causing the surrounding snow to tumble down. "You're courting death! Since you insist on protecting this human, then I'll kill you first, and then take that human's life!"

Titan Snow Demon King A-Tai is over 120 meters tall, making it arguably the largest Soul Beast in the Douluo Continent.

Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, though only about twenty meters tall, showed no fear whatsoever.

A-Tai stomped hard on the ice, attempting to crush him to death.

The massive ape body, enveloped in a chilling aura, charged straight at Xiao Bai. Its giant fist, covered in coarse white fur, swung high, its surface coated with thick ice armor. The air itself seemed to be compressed by the impact, producing a muffled, explosive sound!

"Take this!"

Xiao Bai neither dodged nor evaded; its thick bear paw, covered with a layer of pale blue frost, was swung out with the same full force, colliding fiercely with the Titan Snow Demon King's foot.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar shook the snowfield, and a violent shockwave of Soul Power swept outwards, clearing away the nearby snow and revealing spiderweb-like cracks in the exposed ice and rock.

With a furious roar, the Titan Snow Demon Ape suddenly sank its body, its limbs clawing at the ice surface as it rapidly maneuvered, using the terrain to its advantage to circle around to Xiao Bai's side. With a swing of its arms, dozens of sharp ice spikes burst forth from the ground, raining down on Xiao Bai like a storm of ice spears!

A deep roar that shook the snowfield erupted from Xiao Bai's chest, and the dense power of the Far North ice within his body exploded outwards. A layer of shimmering blue ice barrier instantly formed around his body, and the ice surface was covered with a layer of white frost.

The whistling ice spikes slammed into the barrier's surface, producing a continuous series of crisp clanging sounds. One ice spear after another shattered into fine ice crystals, and a thick icy mist instantly spread out, enveloping the figures of the two giant beasts.

Taking advantage of the obscured vision by the icy fog, Xiao Bai's massive body suddenly leaped into the air. Its heavy bear body, accompanied by a biting wind, and its huge, hard bear head, carrying immense force, slammed straight into A-Tai's chest!

A-Tai was on guard; his thick, white-furred arm was held across his chest, firmly blocking Xiao Bai bear's head as it charged at him.

The two have been longtime rivals in the Far North, having fought each other countless times, and are intimately familiar with each other's tactics and moves.

But this time, the Titan Snow Demon King miscalculated.

From the depths of the icy fog, Xiao Bai's low growl suddenly rang out.

"Great Demon-Subduing Fist!"

The bear head that was originally intended to ram was just a feint. The moment it was blocked by A-Tai's arm, Xiao Bai's right palm, which was hidden under its body, suddenly gathered power. All the thick and powerful Soul Power was poured into the bear paw, which was wrapped with a chilling aura and slammed out from below!
