Chapter 170 Ferocious Beasts Gather, Snow Empress Reappears
"I doubt you have the guts. Tell me quickly what this so-called power that can replace the soul ring is?" Wang Qiu'er asked.
Su Yu looked up at Di Tian and said, "Before my demonstration, I would like to ask Senior Beast God, do you still remember the soul beast I absorbed in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Looking at the human before him, Di Tian didn't understand why Su Yu was asking this question: "Human, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Then please, former Beast God, take a look at this."
A purple light slowly emerged, and a purple-eyed demonic dragon slowly appeared from the mirror.
"Purple-Eyed Demon Dragon greets the Beast God."
This... this is actually the soul beast that Su Yu absorbed back then?
It was supposed to be dead, but now it's actually alive!
this…………
"This is the Purple-Eyed Demon Dragon, the soul beast absorbed by my fourth soul ring. Although it was still in the experimental stage at the time, I absorbed this soul beast with Senior Di Tian's permission. I don't think I need to say anything more about this."
After releasing the Purple-Eyed Demon Dragon, Su Yu pondered for a moment before speaking: "Speaking of Soul Spirits, this is a rather long story. When I tell the story of Soul Spirits, I hope that Senior Beast God can gather all the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, since what I am about to say is related to the future of Soul Beasts."
"Okay, I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Di Tian's body above the Star Dou Great Forest.
One after another, figures exuding powerful auras rose into the air, bursting out of the tree canopy and taking flight from the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
They come in all shapes and sizes, but each one exudes an unparalleled aura of terror.
This is especially true the closer you get to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
These figures who dared to fly out of the Star Dou Great Forest were all top-tier beings from the strongest soul beast gathering place on the entire continent.
But why is this black-haired man able to gather these strongest beings in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Because he is Di Tian, the strongest soul beast in the Douluo Continent today, the 800,000-year-old Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Beast God Di Tian!
At that moment, a figure in emerald green appeared in front of Di Tian in an instant.
This was a stunningly beautiful woman with long, flowing emerald green hair and equally emerald green eyes. She had a slender figure, and a light green dress that perfectly accentuated her graceful curves.
A pair of snow-white arms, as tender as lotus roots, were exposed. Most peculiarly, there was a pair of wings on her back, wings that looked like they were carved from gemstones.
Her wings were emerald green, each feather dazzling and vibrant, the vivid green full of life, making her seem like a goddess of nature, captivating and enchanting.
Su Yu knew that this was the Emerald Swan, Brigitte.
Biji's eyes showed obvious confusion. She quickly flew to Di Tian and stopped, asking, "Di Tian, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Do you still remember that human from Shrek Academy?" Di Tian asked slowly.
"You mean that Shrek human who stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest and spent all his time playing with those strange soul tools?" the Crimson King asked.
Xiong Jun said impatiently, "Did we gather all of us just for such a weak human?"
"Let this human finish speaking first." Di Tian didn't say much, but simply steered the conversation back to Su Yu.
"Now that everyone is here, I won't hide anything. I believe you are all aware of the rapid pace of human development. In this era of advanced soul tools, you soul beasts will ultimately face only one fate: extinction!"
Su Yu's words were like a bombshell, hitting the hearts of many ferocious beasts hard.
"Human, do you know what you're saying?"
A deafening roar exploded like thunder. At such close range, if Di Tian hadn't intervened in time, Su Yu might have been killed on the spot.
"puff……"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Su Yu's mouth. Fortunately, Di Tian intervened in time, and he was not seriously affected. However, his injuries were still not optimistic. It was not that Di Tian did not act in time, but that Su Yu was simply too weak for Xiong Jun.
"Human, you..." Looking at Di Tian's slightly furrowed brows, Bi Ji asked tentatively.
"I'm fine. Since you don't want to listen, there's no need for me to explain anything further. Senior Di Tian, if it weren't for the relationship between soul beasts and humans, I wouldn't have had to come alone with the Emperor Beast into the Star Dou Great Forest to face you ferocious beasts that even human powerhouses fear."
"I know that as soul beasts, you don't believe you will lose to humans, nor do you believe that humans can defeat soul beasts. However, times have changed. Since you are so unwelcoming to me, then Senior Di Tian, I will take my leave."
Su Yu slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and without the slightest hesitation, he dragged his heavily injured body and turned to leave.
"Human, you..." Xiong Jun was about to speak when Di Tian interrupted him.
"Shut up."
Di Tian's eyes were cold as he slowly said, "Don't let me warn you a second time!"
"Come back. This time, I guarantee your safety in the name of Di Tian."
With just a few words, everything was put under control. What Su Yu needed was Di Tian's guarantee, because all his plans were based on Di Tian's consent.
He wasn't afraid that Di Tian would go back on his word, because Di Tian never went back on his word!
"Do you need me to treat you?" Emerald Swan Brigitte asked, stepping forward.
Su Yu nodded. "Thank you for your trouble, senior."
Under Di Tian's intimidation, Xiong Jun indeed became much more obedient, and with Bi Ji's treatment, Su Yu's injuries were quickly healed.
"Su Yu, please continue." Only after Wang Qiu'er reminded him did Su Yu stand up.
"As I've said before, the reproduction rate of spirit beasts is far slower than that of humans, and the rate at which humans acquire spirit rings is much faster than the growth rate of spirit beasts. Everything seems peaceful now, but what about in a few hundred years, or a few thousand years?"
"The growth of a human Soul Master's strength is inseparable from Soul Rings. To obtain Soul Rings, one must hunt Soul Beasts. Eventually, Soul Beasts will perish due to the relentless hunting by humans. What if I told you that I have found something that can replace Soul Rings?"
"Something that allows human soul masters to continue increasing their strength without having to hunt soul beasts?"
Looking at the incredulous gazes of the many ferocious beasts, Su Yu slowly summoned the purple-eyed demon dragon that had willingly sacrificed itself.
"Is this the method you mentioned? How is this any different from hunting soul beasts?" The Demon King asked, puzzled, looking at the purple-eyed demon dragon before him.
Su Yu continued, "What I'm talking about isn't just preserving the souls of soul beasts, but rather, building upon that foundation, researching a power that can replace soul rings, freeing humanity from its dependence on them—in other words, eliminating the need for humans to hunt soul beasts!"
"Then what proof do you have that you can do it?" After observing for a long time, Di Tian asked.
"Please take a look, everyone."
With a slight thought, Su Yu saw Xue Di emerge from his body.
Long before she experienced the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Jade Marrow of Haotian Fortress, the Snow Empress had completely transformed herself using that power, changing from a spiritual body to the Young Saint Body stage. The Snow Empress is now only about one or two years old.
Because the Snow Empress's consciousness has now fallen into a deep sleep.
She was a petite little girl, her skin as white and tender as her chubby little hands, like a one- or two-year-old child.
A faint orange-gold light emanated from her body, and her chubby, pink face looked adorable.
In her hand, there was a piece of white eggshell. She ate it with a "crunch, crunch, crunch" sound, and occasionally she would grin with satisfaction, revealing a sweet smile. Her two dimples made her look even more playful.
Her eyes were deep blue, as captivating as the deepest part of a vast ocean. The words "pure" and "profound," which shouldn't be associated with each other, blended perfectly in the depths of her eyes. Her silver-white hair was slightly curly, and despite her young age, she possessed an air of nobility.
"This is……"
"Snow Emperor!!!"
They were familiar with the Snow Empress's aura, so they were able to sense it the moment she appeared.
"That's right, this is the Snow Empress. However, for some reason, the Snow Empress is currently still asleep."
"You killed the Snow Empress!!!"
As Su Yu spoke, the numerous ferocious beasts looked at him with extremely strange expressions...
Su Yu, who was standing to the side, almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
What makes you think I can solo the Snow Emperor dungeon?
How is this different from Xiao Ka soloing the five ultimate dungeons of Blue Star OL?
………………
"Please, don't look at me like that, okay? How could a quasi-Soul King like me go to the far north to kill the Snow Empress? The specifics have to start from when I left the Star Dou Great Forest. If I were to categorize her, I would call the current Snow Empress a Soul Spirit. A special existence independent of Soul Rings, Soul Bones, and Martial Souls."
Su Yu's words greatly attracted the attention of all the soul beasts. The existence of Xue Di already proved that the human in front of them was indeed extraordinary.
After a moment's thought, Su Yu said, "Speaking of souls, I must start from the beginning. After I left, I went to the Sun Moon Empire to study. In the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, there was the embryo of the Snow Emperor. As for why the Snow Emperor became an embryo, you ferocious beasts actually know the reason."
These words shocked everyone present once again, even Di Tian's eyes widened in surprise. Despite their advanced age and status as hundreds of thousands of years old ferocious beasts, their curiosity was no less than that of humans, especially when it came to soul beasts.
At this moment, Bi Ji spoke up and asked, "Are you referring to soul beasts rebuilding their cultivation?"
"That's right, it's about soul beasts rebuilding their cultivation." Su Yu nodded.
Biji then pressed further, "We ferocious beasts can no longer undergo transformation and rebirth, so how could the Snow Empress possibly do so again?"
"If you ferocious beasts were to rebuild your soul beasts on your own, it would indeed be impossible. However, the Snow Empress obtained a 100,000-year-old ice lotus that had not yet developed sentience. By sealing her own spiritual origin, she had completed the initial preparations for rebuilding. But at the crucial moment, she was encountered by a human titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire, who then used a soul tool to seal the Snow Empress, who was still at a critical moment."
Su Yu made no secrets about Xue Di's background, revealing everything except that he had known all along. As for the matter of Electrolux, Su Yu didn't elaborate, simply glossed over it, since Di Tian already knew.
Of course, while he kept things hidden, he still had to make the main things clear. Su Yu recounted in detail his encounter with the Snow Emperor at the auction and the events that followed with the Sun Moon Empire, but he only talked about the Snow Emperor.
Whether it was Di Tian, who had hundreds of thousands of years of life and cultivation experience, or the many ferocious beasts present, they were all speechless with astonishment after hearing this bizarre story.
After all, being able to merge with the Snow Empress and create a completely new cultivation method is far beyond their understanding as soul beasts.
"That's it, I now possess the Snow Empress's soul. Her current form should be the original Snow Empress's form as a child, the Ice and Snow Maiden. However, since this is my first attempt, there are still some drawbacks."
Since the Snow Empress fell into a deep sleep, Su Yu has felt increasing pressure from her spirit.
Currently, she is still merely attached to Su Yu's spiritual sea. Due to the effect of the seal, the current Snow Empress is eager to merge her own power into Su Yu's body.
However, Su Yu's current strength and body were simply unable to withstand the power of the Snow Empress. As time went on, Su Yu also felt the pressure from the Snow Empress.
"Could it be that you haven't absorbed the Snow Emperor's power yet?" Di Tian asked the crucial question.
"Back then, I was just a Soul Master. How could I possibly have the ability to absorb the power of the Snow Empress? Looking at the Douluo Continent now, I'm afraid even those who have advanced to the Title Douluo level wouldn't be able to withstand the Snow Empress's terrifying power, right?" Su Yu said helplessly.
If he hadn't lacked twin martial souls, he probably wouldn't still be unable to fully resolve the Snow Empress's problem.
"Su Yu, what are you planning to do?" Bi Ji asked.
"Now her abilities are closely related to mine, and she also has the ability to think independently. In a sense, she is still an independent individual. Of course, this is also risky. Once the seal is broken, I will not be able to withstand her power, and then both of us will die. There are only two ways to solve this now."
"First, I will raise my soul power to the level of Soul Saint and use my sixth and seventh soul rings to support the Snow Empress."
"Secondly, someone helped me stabilize the seal and complete a new stage of the seal."
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Di Tian immediately understood Su Yu's intention.
"How can we help you?"
This is a "once-in-a-lifetime" series. I'm using double pinyin for typing now, which has slowed me down considerably. I won't have to worry about it when it gets faster.
