The Far North, located outside the northern border of the Tianhun Empire, is a vast area that exceeds the Star Forest and the Demon Forest. The environment is extremely harsh and is known as a restricted area for humans.
In the vast sky and earth, the young Xu Tianxi was covered with improvised soul guides for warming himself, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and walking in the snow and ice against the howling cold wind. Every inch of exposed skin felt a pain like being cut by a knife.
Beside him, Old Yue was fully armed, with six spirit rings moving rhythmically up and down, a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, his eyes looking in all directions and his ears listening in all directions.
Xu Xiaoyun, who had the highest level of cultivation, naturally walked in the front to lead the way. Relying on his profound cultivation, he walked through the snow as if it were flat ground. From time to time, he gave Xu Tianxi practical science popularization, and his voice was full of vigilance.
"Tianxi, according to legend, there are three terrifying beast-level beings in this far north. They are the Snow Queen, the Ice and Snow Goddess, the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan King, and the Titan Snow Demon Clan King. Their cultivation has exceeded the limit of 200,000 years. A Super Douluo like Yan Shaozhe can only flee when he encounters them.
Do you remember the ten fierce beasts that Master told you about? The Snow Queen and the Ice Jade Scorpion King are ranked third and seventh respectively. I definitely don't want to fight them head-on in this far north."
"Although the Fantasy Moon God Butterfly you are looking for has never produced a king of the fierce beast level, its racial talent is also very strong. There is a king who has lived for 100,000 years. We may have to go deep in the far north to find the one that suits you. We must be careful on the road ahead."
"Tianxi understands. It's all thanks to you, Master, for bringing me here this time." Xu Tianxi said with gratitude and bowed to Xu Xiaoyun.
Over the past two years, Xu Xiaoyun has been guiding him in cultivation, investing all kinds of resources in him. Now, he is even personally taking him into dangerous places to hunt for spirit rings, which really shows his care and concern for him.
Although with the opponent's strength, only the Ice and Snow Emperors in this far north could pose a threat to him, but coming here would be risky, and no one could be sure whether the Ice and Snow Emperors would be free to take a few laps outside.
The Ice Emperor is okay, as there is still a chance to escape if encountered, but the Snow Emperor is in great danger. This Far North is her home ground. If Emperor Tian comes here, he may not be able to gain any advantage even without the Dragon God Claw. The arrival of a human strongman is no different from delivering food.
When choosing the second soul ring, he thought about finding an ice silkworm soul beast to kill like Huo Gua did, but when he was browsing the soul beast atlas and found the Phantom Sky Moon God Butterfly, he suddenly felt that this beast was destined to be with him -
The Fantasy Moon God Butterfly has both ice and spiritual attributes. It can absorb moonlight to increase its cultivation speed and is one of the top soul beasts.
Its fighting method is mainly based on creating illusions. It can simulate the atmosphere of itself and the surrounding environment, causing the enemy to fall into a false illusion, with their six senses being confused without them knowing it. It can also flap its wings to produce a mental cold current, quickly destroying the enemy's mental strength.
Once their mental strength is exhausted, their death is the natural outcome. Ordinary soul beasts approaching them will be stunned by the moon-like phantom powder emitted from their body surface.
The most terrifying thing is that the range and intensity of the spiritual power of the Phantom Moon Butterfly will increase temporarily on the night of the full moon, and this clan is a group of social soul beasts. A ten-thousand-year-old butterfly king can lead the group of butterflies to vibrate a spiritual cold current, which can kill ordinary soul douluos without a burial place, and most of them below the level of Soul Saints will not escape death.
To make an analogy, it is the Green Scaled Snake King among the spiritual soul beasts.
Its only shortcoming is that its body is extremely weak. Once its main body is touched, a powerful hundred-year-old soul beast can tear the thousand-year-old Fantasy Moon God Butterfly apart.
Compared to the Ice Silkworm, a soul beast that has no attack power and can only simulate life-saving actions, the Phantom Moon God Butterfly is of a much higher grade. Now that it has a backer, it will naturally pursue the best and double the reward in the future.
"According to ancient records, the Illusionary Moon God Butterfly is the most beautiful butterfly on the continent, second only to the Goddess of Light Butterfly. Its wings are moon-white with blue light patterns. Because it is located in the far north, it is rarely coveted. I don't know if it is really that gorgeous..."
Xu Tianxi walked deep in the snow, taking one step deep and one step shallow. With each step he leaped several meters away, recalling information about the Fantasy Moon God Butterfly.
Suddenly, a loud noise like an earthquake came from afar.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang"
"This breath and movement are from the Titan Snow Demon King! Lie down and hold your breath. Don't make any movements!"
Xu Xiaoyun's face changed, and he immediately used the Xuanwu summoning to call Xu Tianxi and Old Yue to his side, and hid them in the snow with them.
Under the snow, Xu Tianxi soon felt an extremely terrifying aura, and his mental strength on the snow surface trembled. He only noticed that a huge monster with an extremely terrifying aura was walking on the ground, giving people a sense of deterrence of a wild beast.
With the protection of the ancestor Xu Xiaoyun in the snow, the footprints of the Titan Snow Demon King did not cause any substantial harm to Xu Tianxi and Old Yue, and the huge pressure soon disappeared.
When the Titan Snow Demon King went far away, the three people hiding in the snow quickly poked their heads out and saw the light of day again.
"I haven't seen this guy in thirty years, but his aura hasn't changed at all." Xu Xiaoyun gazed into the distance at the disappearing figure of the Titan Snow Demon King and whispered to himself.
Xu Tianxi's eyes moved when he heard this, and he asked Xu Xiaoyun: "Master, have you ever dealt with this guy?"
"I guess so. More than 30 years ago, I brought your master to the Far North to hunt a hundred thousand year old soul beast. Although we were careful, we still encountered this guy in the outer area of the Far North."
Xu Xiaoyun answered calmly, and then carefully considered his words:
"This guy is the largest I have ever seen in my life. He is over 120 meters tall. His strength is not too scary, but he has thick skin and flesh. Even a level 97 Super Douluo can't easily break through his defense."
"At that time, I was afraid of the Ice and Snow Emperors, so I gave him a soul skill and took your master uncle away from the Far North at a high speed. Thinking about it now, it was very exciting."
As he was talking, Xu Xiaoyun suddenly had an idea:
"By the way, this guy also has spiritual attributes. The Titan Snow Demon Clan is also a top race. Are you interested?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi concentrated on thinking for a while, and felt that this big guy's explosive soul skill was still not as good as the Mirror Flower and Water Moon of the Illusionary Moon God Butterfly, so he shook his head and smiled: "I still think that the Illusionary Moon God Butterfly is more suitable for me."
"That's fine." Xu Xiaoyun nodded and said no more.
"By the way, Master, you just said that you brought Master Uncle here to hunt a hundred thousand year old soul beast?" Xu Tianxi keenly caught the key information and asked with interest.
In the past two years, Xu Xiaoyun had told Xu Tianxi more than once that his eldest disciple Xiao Changfeng was his most proud successor, but he was not in the sect all year round. Instead, he was the president of the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Hanhai City, and was in charge of Xuanming Sect's business and some of its relationships. After the news of Kong Xiyue's tragic death was passed back to Xuanming Sect, this master uncle also returned to the sect to mourn, but Xu Tianxi was reading books in the library at that time and had not seen Xiao Changfeng. Xu Tianxi had asked about this master uncle's news in the past two years, but Xu Xiaoyun always smiled and said nothing, and said that he would see him in the future.
Master, at his age, likes to speak only half of his words.
From the information just now, I learned that my master uncle was at least a top-level Titled Douluo with a hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone, and he would be a guaranteed Super Douluo in the future.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyun smiled proudly and said affirmatively:
"Yes, your master uncle is extremely talented, so I naturally want to find the best spirit ring for him. It's just a pity that I encountered the Titan Snow Demon King this time.
A hundred thousand year old spirit beast died in the Far North, causing quite a stir. It seemed that even the Ice and Snow Emperors were alarmed. As a result, I dared not bring your master uncle here again. It's a pity."
"There are many hundred thousand year soul beasts in this far north. I don't know why the two Ice and Snow Emperors are so excited. The beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest went crazy after the Body Sect killed seven hundred thousand year soul beasts in a row."
Xu Tianxi's pupils shrank suddenly, he stopped and turned his head to ask, "You mean, Master Uncle's eighth soul ring is the same as yours, also a hundred thousand year soul ring?"
"Of course. Your great master's martial soul is a mutated ice crystal phoenix, the top-level ice attribute martial soul, close to the ultimate ice, and has also awakened a part of the blood of the divine beast."
Xu Xiaoyun looked into the depths of the Far North, his eyes like the warm sun, and he stroked his beard and smiled:
"I still feel a little regretful. If I had caught him another 100,000-year-old soul beast with ice attribute when he was conferred the title, such as the Ice Jade Scorpion, maybe his ice attribute could have been sublimated."
"There seems to be no record of a Title Douluo with the Ultimate Ice Attribute in history. If it were to happen, why would I have to worry about the continuation of the sect now?"
"What kind of soul beast is Master Uncle's ninth soul ring?"
"I found him a 100,000-year-old Jade Saker Falcon at sea. That Jade Saker Falcon has some pure phoenix blood. It has purified your master's divine beast blood, so it's not bad."
"The advantage of sea soul beasts is that they won't seek revenge even if you kill them. Moreover, they generally have strong vitality and are stronger than land soul beasts on average. It's a pity that something happened to your mother, otherwise I would have killed one for her, and you will too in the future."
Xu Xiaoyun spoke lightly, as if killing a hundred thousand year old soul beast was as common as eating an extra bowl of rice today, and there was nothing noteworthy about it.
Those simple words revealed an absolutely resolute murderous intent.
Xu Tianxi felt ashamed, thinking that those guys in the Body Sect were lawless, and your method was not very merciful.
Among the three disciples under your seat, Master Bo has two red rings, and Xu Fu has one red ring. If Kong Xiyue had not left early, a hundred thousand year old soul beast in the sea would have suffered. It would have been caught by the old turtle while eating small fish and singing, and then killed to take its bones.
But since he is a human being, Xu Tianxi would not be crazy enough to shout that it is unfair to the soul beast. At the moment, he does not have any Tianmeng brand power bank to invest in.
"Young master, we are almost reaching the depths of the Far North, so be careful." Old Yue said softly, reminding Xu Tianxi not to be distracted in this restricted area for humans.
"Don't worry, Old Yue, I'll save you the trouble."
Xu Tianxi took out two second-level soul guides from his storage ring, whose shells were very similar to the submachine guns in his previous life. He crossed them in front of his chest, ready to go.
These two second-level soul guides were all made by him from the core magic array to the inner shell and then to the outer shell. Old Yue judged that their effectiveness was the best among the second-level soul guides. Their attack method was to emit soul guide rays, one with a paralysis effect and the other with a continuous blasting effect.
Its normal power is not as strong as that of Cold Moon's Gaze, but it is more durable.
If he was willing to scrap the soul guide device, he could use only one-third of his soul power to make the explosive soul guide ray burst out with a power comparable to the all-out attack of Frost Moon Gaze, and the power of the paralyzing soul guide ray could also be increased to a higher level.
Before coming here, he had imagined that Xu Xiaoyun would find a suitable 1000-Year Fantasy Moon Butterfly for him and let him fight it one-on-one for a while.
Unfortunately, Xu Tianxi was surprised to find that he had underestimated Xu Xiaoyun's caution. In front of him, he didn't even have a chance to make a move -
After Xu Xiaoyun found the trace of a group of Fantasy Moon God Butterflies, he directly lit up his sixth soul ring and released his domain skill, the Black Tortoise Domain, which enveloped the entire group of butterflies.
Even though the Fantasy Moon Butterfly was led by the Ten Thousand Year Old Butterfly King, it could not escape the fate of being killed instantly.
"Tianxi, there are a total of five thousand-year-old Illusionary Moon Butterflies in this group. Two are over a thousand years old, one is over two thousand years old, one is three thousand years old, and one is five thousand years old. Once you have made your choice, let's leave quickly. We should not stay here for long."
Xu Xiaoyun withdrew his domain, and a group of beautiful butterflies as bright and crystal as moonstones fell down like dumplings. The crescent-shaped dark blue light patterns on the wings of the psyllium butterflies dimmed, as if they were knocked unconscious.
Xu Tianxi looked back and forth for a while, picked a compromise, pointed at the three thousand year old Fantasy Moon God Butterfly and said, "Let's take this one."
"Okay, get ready."
Xu Xiaoyun skillfully sent the Phantom Moon Butterfly into the soul guide that could store living things, then he erected a huge basalt shield, rolled up the two of them and flew off. Soon, they turned into a small black dot and disappeared in the world of ice and snow.
Not long after, a beautiful figure like an ice elf appeared in the air at the spot, her body was surrounded by frost mist, her expression was cold and arrogant, she looked down at the messy crime scene, a look of sadness appeared on her cheeks.
"You damned human warrior, you actually dared to come to my Far North to harm my people. Don't let me find you again, or I will drag you down with me before I perish in the calamity!"
