"Hey, hey, human kid, don't be so hasty. Does what I'm saying seem ridiculous now? I'm a Soul Beast with 290,000 years of cultivation, one of the three kings of the Lost Track Grand Canyon. Why do you think I'd lower myself to negotiate with you like this? It's because you possess the most terrifying power in the world, the Ultimate Ice. The only way to kill a phoenix is with the Ultimate Ice, which is why I came to you. Think about it, the Soul Ring and Soul Bone of a 390,000-year-old phoenix—isn't that an incredible opportunity for you?"

It was this sentence that successfully dissuaded Yu Tianshuang from informing Bibi Dong, and it was also this sentence that allowed the cunning Horned Dragon King to live a little longer.

Does this mean that the Ultimate Ice attribute power can kill the phoenix, which is said to be immortal and reborn from the ashes? No wonder it took such a great risk to come to me. After all, when Bibi Dong left, although she left behind this little spider that could communicate with her, Bibi Dong didn't have high hopes for this matter. She was just taking a gamble as a precaution.

"Senior, if I understand correctly, killing this Nirvana Dark Phoenix requires the Ultimate Ice, right? If that's the case, then the Soul Ring and Soul Bone are things I could obtain. I helped you eliminate this phoenix, but you didn't give me anything in return. That's probably not fair..."

This brat, the 100,000-year-old Soul Ring and Soul Bone didn't fool him at all, he reacted so quickly. But it wasn't any different, after all, he had grasped the most crucial point in an instant.

"Of course, that's not all. I'll help you find the phoenix's Nirvana location. You see, this time it's going to stay inside the egg for a full 80,000 years. The hiding place is definitely not something a mere Soul King you can find."

The Horned Dragon King was still somewhat reluctant, so it had to try to find out what would happen. If the Lost Track Grand Canyon and to successfully evolve and survive the 300,000-year-old Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation.

"Senior, I think you'd better be more honest. It's pointless to be so insincere. Besides, I think the benefit you're getting from finding me so anxiously, wanting to kill this phoenix Nirvana, isn't just that its death will make you the true king of the Lost Track Grand Canyon, right?"

Based on its previous words and current cultivation level, Yu Tianshuang quickly deduced that this Horned Dragon King's eagerness to kill the Nirvana Phoenix must have ulterior motives. However, being so cunning, it certainly wouldn't reveal them, and it must have some conditions that would force it to act. Having figured this out, Yu Tianshuang was no longer in a hurry. She stroked her chin thoughtfully and said Youyou:

"Let me think about it. After the Dark Phoenix's Nirvana, it took a full 80,000 years to Nirvana. During that time, you were already the true king of this Lost Track Grand Canyon. So, your eagerness to kill it isn't the most important reason. Besides, you said it took a full 80,000 years for its Nirvana. So even if you don't take me to find it, I can wait until I'm strong enough to find it myself, or force you to find it. After all, becoming Titled Douluo isn't too difficult for me, and it won't take too long."

"Oh right, senior, I remember now, your cultivation level is around 290,000 years, right? That means you're about to undergo the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation. Let me guess, you're most likely not going to survive it. The real reason is that if you kill it, you can successfully pass the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation. Am I right?"

"Hiss." Although the Horned Dragon King had a premonition that this human would figure something out, he didn't expect him to guess so accurately. No, it wasn't that the human was too powerful; it was that he had underestimated this human and revealed too much crucial information. Sigh...

"Human boy, you are indeed formidable. You're right. The most important reason I'm so eager to kill it is that I want to use its phoenix blood essence to evolve again, so that I can be confident in surviving this Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation. I won't hide anything from you anymore. In my territory, there is a 50,000-year-old immortal Immortal Herb, Jade Rampart Coiling Snow, which I can give to you as payment for your help. However, I need to absorb the phoenix's blood essence. So when you find the phoenix egg, apart from the phoenix's blood essence, I don't want anything else. You should know that the phoenix is a treasure from head to toe."

So that's how it is. I really couldn't refuse the conditions it offered. Absorbing 50,000 years of Jade Rampart Coiling Snow would not only greatly enhance my Soul Power, but also increase the strength of my ice attribute. Perhaps without using the Ice Emperor's Blessing and the Eternal Frozen Domain, my attacks might directly reach the level of Ultimate Ice. The Horned Dragon King's purpose was to absorb the phoenix's blood essence, take the opportunity to evolve, and thus survive the 400,000-year-old Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation.

"Senior, there's a flaw in your argument. How could a mere earth dragon absorb the essence of a phoenix?"

"You're quite the vigilant kid. Don't worry about that, I have my own methods. Besides, this phoenix isn't just a phoenix; it shares the dark attribute with me, except it also has a fire attribute."

The Horned Dragon King was getting annoyed when he saw that Yu Tianshuang still wouldn't completely trust him. He had told her everything, yet this kid was still so wary. Humans really weren't easy to fool...

"Alright, senior, then I'll trouble you to take me to the place where the Immortal Herb Jade Rampart Coiling Snow. My Soul Power is only level 53 right now, let's see how much it will increase after absorbing the Immortal Herb."

During this period, Yu Tianshuang fought frequently, and although his Soul Power only increased by one level, it's important to understand that because of the Purple Seal within his body, the difficulty of his cultivation is twice that of an ordinary Soul Master. To increase his Soul Power by two levels in such a short time is already an incredibly terrifying speed.

The giant head of the Horned Dragon King nodded, then remained silent, flapping its somewhat awkward-looking wings as it flew forward.

Yu Tianshuang, stepping on the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, maintained a safe distance from the Horned Dragon King. Before long, it stopped above an open area, its Soul Power surging. In a moment, the area below, which was covered by thick black mist, became clear. A pure white immortal Immortal Herb, radiating coldness, grew alone on the white ground, clearly not fitting the atmosphere of the Lost Track Grand Canyon.

"Human boy, I wasn't lying to you, was I? Hurry up and go absorb it."

After dispelling the black mist protecting Jade Rampart Coiling Snow, the Horned Dragon King saw that Yu Tianshuang was still maintaining a relatively safe distance from it, and patiently spoke softly.

"Senior, please stay away from this immortal Immortal Herb. I'll take it away and absorb it later. You can come find me again when the Dark Phoenix undergoes its Nirvana."

Yu Tianshuang would not let down Sisi guard against this cunning and experienced Soul Beast, so she pointed to the Jade Rampart Coiling Snow below, signaling the Horned Dragon King to move away.

"Human, you have angered me time and time again. I have been very tolerant of you. Don't go too far. This is my territory. Fine, fine. This Immortal Herb cannot leave this land. Once it leaves, it will wither in no time if I don't absorb it. Don't worry, human, I won't attack you while you are absorbing it. After all, I still need your help."

Surprisingly, this human didn't fall for it. Given the greedy nature of humans, he should have lost his mind when he saw the Jade Rampart Coiling Snow. After all, this Jade Rampart Coiling Snow is like a rare treasure for Soul Master Soul Master, especially those with the ice attribute. However, this human remained unmoved, which was somewhat different from his plan. Nevertheless, he patiently continued to gently persuade him.

"Senior, I've never heard of a Immortal Herb that withers if it's removed from the soil. If that's the case, then it's hardly worthy of the name ' Immortal Herb '!"

As expected, there was a trap Yu Tianshuang slowly stalled for time by arguing with the experienced Horned Dragon King, while her hand subtly and naturally reached into her chest and crushed the little spider left behind by Bibi Dong.

"Moreover, how could an ice-attribute Immortal Herb grow in a dark and sunless place like the Lost Track Grand Canyon? It's hard not to be suspicious..."

"Boy, you saw it with your own eyes. This Immortal Herb is the genuine Jade Rampart Coiling Snow. I think I don't need to explain what it means to an ice-attribute Soul Master like you, right? You saw it with your own eyes, so what are you still doubting? Besides, how could I possibly attack you while you're absorbing it? I wouldn't do something like that, shooting myself in the foot. I still need you to help me kill the phoenix Nirvana."

The Horned Dragon King was, after all, Soul Beast. Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, it gradually became impatient. However, given the distance that Yu Tianshuang to catch up with it. It could only continue to speak to prove its sincerity.

No matter what it said, Yu Tianshuang wouldn't go over, continuing to argue with it, stalling for time while waiting for Bibi Dong to arrive.

That wretched human brat, did he figure something out? Impossible, he's just a Soul King. Even with the Ultimate Ice, his Soul Power Level can't be faked. He shouldn't have noticed, right? But if he hadn't, how could he not have fallen for it?

No matter how the Horned Dragon King tried to persuade, tempt, or promise, Yu Tianshuang refused to go down, which puzzled the Horned Dragon King greatly. He couldn't help but lower his head and look at the Yu Jade Rampart Coiling Snow with a puzzled expression.

"Human boy, you... it's you, how did you find your way here..."

The Horned Dragon King wanted to say something more to persuade Yu Tianshuang to go down and absorb the Immortal Herb, but an astonishing aura quickly locked onto it. It was that woman, the woman who had attacked it several times. How did she know I was here? How did this kid communicate with her? No wonder he kept arguing with me; he was just stalling for time. Damn it...

Although Bibi Dong's Soul Power was limited to level 98 due to the Rakshasa God Trial, the aura she exuded was that of a genuine level 99 Peerless Douluo. How could the Horned Dragon King, with only 290,000 years of cultivation, not be afraid? Sensing Bibi Dong's astonishing aura, it immediately turned to flee. However, without the black mist concealing its aura, how could it escape at its current speed? What awaited it was Bibi Dong's powerful attack.

"Sixth Soul Skill the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor: Eternal Wound!"

Bibi Dong transformed into her true form as the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, simultaneously raising her two enormous, jade-like scythes towards the Horned Dragon King. She swung them forward in a powerful, overlapping motion, unleashing a massive green cross-shaped blade. The blade struck the enormous Horned Dragon King with incredible speed, causing the cross-shaped wound to rapidly widen. The Horned Dragon King, terrified, immediately unleashed a cloud of black mist to envelop itself. Unfortunately, Bibi Dong's Sixth Soul Skill was granted by Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring; once it struck, the wound would begin to spread endlessly. There was only one way to suppress it: by relying on Soul Power to resist. However, once the Soul Power was exhausted, the Horned Dragon King would die.

"Hmph, a desperate struggle, fine, you did well, you actually found this old fox. I'll award you a great service, First Soul Skill: Half Moon!"

Bibi Dong watched as the gigantic Horned Dragon King ridiculously enveloped her, a gesture that brought a disdainful sneer to her beautiful face. After praising Yu Tianshuang, she unleashed eight Half Moon, dark green light slashes, and the Horned Dragon King's painful roars echoed from within the black mist.

The battle ended quickly. With a loud "boom," the massive Horned Dragon King crashed to the ground, lifeless. A deep red Soul Ring and a Head Soul Bone floated up on the Horned Dragon King's corpse.

"Very good, it's actually Head Soul Bone. Perfect, I already have Head Soul Bone. You can absorb this old fox's skull as a reward for this."

Bibi Dong dispelled the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's Martial Soul Avatar, transforming back into a normal human form. Looking at the Soul Ring and Soul Bone floating below, she spoke to Yu Tianshuang with a tone of joy and an undeniable air.

Yu Tianshuang knew what kind of personality the Pope, who was in charge of the Spirit Hall, had. She was a perfectionist and, having been in a high position for a long time, disliked being questioned or rejected. So, after politely thanking her, Yu Tianshuang went down to prepare to absorb the 100,000-year-old Head Soul Bone.

Among Soul Bone, the rarest are the External Soul Bone, which are extremely rare and hard to come by. Next are the head and Torso Soul Bone. The arm and leg Soul Bone are not so rare. However, being able to absorb a 100,000-year-old Head Soul Bone Soul Bone, especially one from a dragon-shaped Soul Beast, is a very happy thing for Yu Tianshuang.

Releasing a wisp of Soul Power to draw the Soul Bone to his front, Yu Tianshuang did not rush to absorb it. Instead, he began to examine the Head Soul Bone. At this time, Bibi Dong had already begun to absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring of the Horned Dragon King. Although Bibi Dong might not need it, he still silently perked up and kept watch for her.
