Chapter 154: The Attention of the Snow Emperor

Two high-risk Immortal Herbs, representing Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire respectively, bestowed upon Ning Feiliu two blessings from Element Demi-Gods.

One blessing from an Ice and Snow Demigod increased Ning Feiliu's affinity with ice-attribute living beings by fifty percent.

And the other blessing, from a Casting Demigod, granted Ning Feiliu the skills of the Craftsman God—that is, the ability of Ornn to forge divine artifacts.

But at the same time, it also granted him two powerful skills.

Among them, the Summoning of the Casting God, Ning Feiliu had already used twice before.

The first time was naturally during that battle against Yu Tianheng, where he used it to test its power.

Although Yu Tianheng's strength was decent, in truth, after consecutive fierce battles, Ning Feiliu should still have been able to defeat him without using the Summoning of the Casting God, so it felt a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The second time was when facing a high-level thirty-ninth-rank Soul Elder; in order not to fall into defeat, Ning Feiliu used the Summoning of the Casting God once again.

Even though it had only been used twice, the audience was already quite familiar with this powerful Self-Created Spirit Skill that they believed Ning Feiliu had brilliantly created himself.

And they had just assumed that Ning Feiliu was about to use this Self-Created Spirit Skill of extreme power—the Summoning of the Casting God.

But just when they thought Ning Feiliu would use the Summoning of the Casting God this time, they did not expect that Ning Feiliu would actually unleash... yet another unprecedented and extremely powerful Self-Created Spirit Skill.

"Summoning of the Ice and Snow God..." Standing in the spectator stands, savoring the aftermath of that immensely powerful blizzard, Shuang Lan said with some shock.

It was mainly because she had just felt a terrifying pressure from above the sky, which seemed to come from Extreme Ice.

She also possessed an ice-attribute martial soul, and her family's martial souls had been the Ice Dragon Wuhun for generations, but by her generation, the martial soul had mutated.

Perhaps due to the influence of her mother's Water Shadow Sword Wuhun, her martial soul had also mutated such that after Spirit Possession, her hands transformed into ice swords.

Her attack methods were indeed more numerous and stronger, but her ice-attribute power was about the same as her father's clan's Ice Dragon Wuhun; it had not evolved any further.

But on the Douluo Continent, their Ice Dragon Shuang Clan was definitely a top-tier ice-attribute martial soul; the reason it was not considered a top-tier martial soul was because they could not contend with that true group of top-tier martial souls.

If one is called a top-tier martial soul, then at the very least, one should be able to cross swords with top-tier martial souls like the Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Seven Kill Sword, and Diamond Mammoth, right?

Perhaps one might be inferior, but in any case, one would not be crushed.

It is like saying you want to become one of the Five Great Powers; it does not mean that being the best among those below the Five Great Powers is enough, but rather that you must be able to contend with any one of the Five Great Powers—only then can you be considered to have barely passed.

If you shatter at the slightest touch from any of the Five Great Powers, yet still want to come in and be the sixth?

Keep dreaming.

The classification of martial souls on the Douluo Continent is the same; you can be unable to beat a recognized top-tier Assault System martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer, but you cannot be shattered at a single touch by the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, the Ice Dragon Wuhun is indeed not comparable to top-tier martial souls like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, so even on the current Douluo Continent, regarding ice-attribute martial souls, there is almost no one better than their family's ancestral martial soul, yet it can still only be counted as a first-class martial soul, not a top-tier one.

Although the Ice Dragon Wuhun is only considered a first-class martial soul, when it comes to the power of ice-attribute strength, there is simply no martial soul family on the entire Douluo Continent that can compare to them.

Yet, Shuang Lan had just felt...

An overwhelming, crushing power of Extreme Ice.

No, it was no longer crushing; it was more like... the gap between a god and a mortal!

Shuang Lan even had a sense of pilgrimage that made her want to kneel just now; that feeling was just like facing a supreme god.

She looked at Ning Feiliu on the Douhun Platform below and muttered, "Who... exactly is he?"

At this moment, deep curiosity for Ning Feiliu had already ignited in Shuang Lan's heart.

And at this time, the audience around the Soul Fighting Arena also began to discuss heatedly again after a brief silence.

Another powerful Self-Created Spirit Skill of Ning Feiliu!

It had a similar release method to the Summoning of the Casting God; both were Self-Created Spirit Skills released after shattering a Soul Ring.

But it was completely different from the Summoning of the Casting God!

The Summoning of the Casting God was extreme fire, roaring lava!

And the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God was extreme ice and snow, a storm that froze the world!

The main point was that the coverage of the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God was too vast!

It was a powerful spirit skill that covered the entire Douhun Platform and even spread to the area of the Soul Fighting Arena.

It was simply impossible to dodge within this range.

So... it was too exciting.

Never expected that in this challenge against a higher level, Ning Feiliu would use yet another Self-Created Spirit Skill that everyone had never seen before!

And... everyone thought of another point because of this.

Ning Feiliu was able to create the Summoning of the Casting God, and this time he created the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God.

Then, would he be able to create more different, powerful Self-Created Spirit Skills in the future?

Last time it was the Summoning of the Casting God, this time it was the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God, so next time it might be the Summoning of the Thunder God, the Summoning of the Storm God, the Summoning of the Earth God, the Summoning of the Light God... and so on?

Thinking about it this way... Ning Feiliu's future is truly terrifying.

Originally, because his martial soul was special, the number of his spirit skills was already frighteningly high.

Now there is also a series of powerful Self-Created Spirit Skills.

His combat power is simply terrifying!

Not to mention that he has now proven that he can complete a battle across a major rank!

Everyone remembered again that sentence Ning Feiliu said just now—"He will be destiny"!

That's right! He will absolutely be destiny!

He will be a master of a region on the future Douluo Continent!

It is even possible that in the future he will establish his own sect, just like the founders of the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, leading the sect to glory and becoming another newly risen powerful sect!

Thinking of this, everyone became even more fanatical.

"Destiny! Yafei!"

Someone somewhere shouted fanatically at the top of their lungs.

Immediately, all of Ning Feiliu's fanatical followers present shouted excitedly together.

"Tianming! Yafei!"

"Tianming! Yafei!"

"Tianming! Yafei!"

This entire Central Great Soul Arena was filled with fanatical shouts.

This was the charisma that came from the strong, especially in this world of the Douluo Continent where strength was respected; countless people flocked to the strong, willing to follow them of their own volition.

What Ning Feiliu displayed was not just powerful strength, but also his future potential!

That would be a talent ceiling equivalent to the founding ancestors of the Upper Three Sects, a powerful talent sufficient to go down in history, making people unable to help but feel fanatical.

Never mind these ordinary Spirit Masters and ordinary spectators.

At this moment, even Yu Tianheng was somewhat shocked.

It should be said, completely shocked.

"The Summoning of the... God of Ice and Snow?" he muttered to himself.

At this moment, he truly realized that the gap between himself and Ning Feiliu... was simply too large!

When he was at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, he was completely no match for Ling Yue.

Although that was because Ling Yue's soul power level suppressed him.

But wasn't Ning Feiliu, when facing Ling Yue, also suppressed by Ling Yue's soul power level?

He was even challenging Ling Yue, who was a whole major rank higher!

Yet Ling Yue was still defeated, defeated under Ning Feiliu's Self-Created Spirit Skill.

Self-Created Spirit Skill... unlike a soul skill, that was truly a powerful soul skill created entirely by one's own ability.

Mainly, Ning Feiliu's two Self-Created Spirit Skills were truly unprecedented; it was impossible for them to be wisdom inherited from ancestors like the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Absolutes or Great Sumeru Hammer.

Therefore, this soul skill that he created entirely by himself was truly The Show Stopper.

Too strong...

Too strong...

Yu Tianheng could not help but have the thought in his heart that he would never be able to catch up to Ning Feiliu.

Facing such a heaven-defying talent that was definitely born once in ten thousand years, wouldn't anyone feel dejected?

Yufeng and the others also widened their eyes.

"Another Self-Created Spirit Skill..." Oslo was even a bit silent.

They were now also thinking of the idea held by most of the spectators: with the Summoning of the God of Smelting and the Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow, there was no guarantee that Ning Feiliu wouldn't continue to produce a Summoning of the God of Thunder, Summoning of the God of Nature, Summoning of the God of Death, or Summoning of the God of Moonlight later on.

The key was that the power of these Self-Created Spirit Skills was also too great.

It didn't look like the power of a Self-Created Spirit Skill at all, but the pre-cast preparation for these Self-Created Spirit Skills of Ning Feiliu involved exploding his own Soul Rings, and now everyone was guessing that after Ning Feiliu exploded his Soul Rings, he needed to re-absorb Soul Rings.

Otherwise, how could that first Hundred-Year Spirit Ring have turned into a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring later?

So everyone could suddenly understand why the power of these Self-Created Spirit Skills of Ning Feiliu was so great.

Some big figures who had seen the Clear Sky Sect's unique technique, the Ring Detonation Mystery of the Great Sumeru Hammer, understood even more why the power of these Self-Created Spirit Skills of Ning Feiliu was so great.

The last person to play with Ring Detonation was the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao of the former number one Spirit Master sect on the continent—the Clear Sky Sect; the great hammer's reputation was built on the Ring Detonation Mystery of the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Then, Ning Feiliu was also playing with Ring Detonation—although the Ring Detonation skill was completely different from Tang Hao's, it was of course completely understandable that the power was so strong.

However, Tang Hao might not be able to compare to Ning Feiliu.

After all, Tang Hao was only an inheritor, not the ancestor who created the Great Sumeru Hammer mystery.

Truth be told, Ning Feiliu was benchmarked against the First Generation Haotian Douluo Tang Chen, who created the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Those who had witnessed Tang Chen's strength were very clear about what this concept meant.

The two mountains of the Douluo Continent Spirit Master world in the past!

Tang Hao's achievements were completely not worth mentioning in front of Tang Chen, not to mention that he was just a descendant enjoying the shade of the trees planted by his predecessors.

Ning Feiliu's reputation would rise to another level after using the Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow this time.

In the mouths of ordinary people, he would at least be a peerless genius comparable to the Tang Hao of the past.

And in the eyes of people at a higher level, Ning Feiliu would be... a heaven-defying talent born once in ten thousand years in the Spirit Master world, on the level of Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu!

And at this time, far in the northernmost region of the continent.

The Extreme North, the core area.

This was a land of extreme ice that humans could never set foot in; here, heavy snow like ice blades blew every moment, the ground was covered by thick ice and snow, and under the vast sky of heavy snow, everything was white.

And here, there was actually a lonely, graceful, and upright figure that looked like a human.

She seemed to be at ease in the heavy snow, not affected by the extreme low temperature at all, and even those heavy snows like ice blades would deliberately avoid her, as if they did not want to hurt her.

Only, at this moment, she suddenly turned her head to look in a certain direction outside the Extreme North.

"This feeling... so close, so powerful..." the Ice Heaven Snow Maiden said softly, "Is it a god?"

She could feel that within that power, it carried an Extreme Ice Power far purer and far more powerful than her own.

That was a sacred Extreme Ice Power that could almost be felt from the origin.

Feeling that sacred Extreme Ice Power, she could not help but have a thought in her mind, "If I could get close to that power, or even obtain its power... it should make it more likely for me to break through my limits."

But... that is the place of humans.

She was very conflicted; outside the Extreme North was the range of human activity, and most importantly, since her birth, she could feel those powerful auras outside the Extreme North.

There were plenty of people far more powerful than her, and even decades ago, she could feel two human auras that were incomparably close to gods fighting fiercely.

In front of those two auras, she would definitely be killed!

But fortunately, the Extreme North was covered by ice and snow all year round, especially this core area; even the strongest Title Douluo among humans could not penetrate this deep.

That is why she has always been able to cultivate here very safely.

But if she were to step out of here and be discovered by humans, she would be unable to protect herself.

Yet that power... she truly has a strong feeling that even obtaining a sliver of that power would allow her to easily break through her current limits!

For a Soul Beast, this is simply a fatal temptation!

So she is currently somewhat conflicted...

And just as Xue Di was conflicted, in a deep, unknown underground location in the Extreme North, a huge, white, chubby ice silkworm woke up slightly in a daze, but soon it ate a mouthful of the massive Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow beside it and fell back asleep.

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.

Inside the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

Ning Feiliu exhaled; after he decided the outcome on the Douhun Platform, that line of small text appeared before his eyes once again.

【Ignite the belief of battle and complete a challenge above your rank; defeat one opponent who exceeds your current cultivation level by a major grade to obtain the Will of Atreus.】

The small text shattered and transformed into a formless power that poured into his mind.

However, this power did not bring any experience or knowledge, and it did not even strengthen his Spirit Sea or spiritual power in the slightest.

But...

Ning Feiliu, who had completely exhausted his soul power after using the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God and had fallen into a weakened state after Exploding Ring, felt as if he were teetering.

But at this moment, his will was incomparably firm, standing his ground stubbornly like a stone tablet that had stood for a thousand years without falling.

This mortal will could be felt to be a will far firmer than that of the gods.

Is this the Will of Atreus?

Ning Feiliu had a feeling that this Will of Atreus was not much worse than the Resurrection Rune Fragment he had obtained.

Or perhaps it was even more precious than the Resurrection Rune Fragment.

He looked at Ling Yue, who had fallen on the Douhun Platform and been frostbitten by the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God, then turned his head to look at Carlisle, Jin Xi'er, and the others shivering below the Douhun Platform.

It was just that they were not shivering out of fear, but because of the cold...

The power of Extreme Ice brought by the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God was something even Ling Yue could not endure.

Let alone them.

The main thing was that they were simply too close while under the Douhun Platform.

The host was also unable to bear it any longer; although he had sensed something was wrong immediately and summoned his martial soul for protection, he was now also shivering from the cold, his teeth chattering so much he could not speak for a long time.

One must know that he was a Soul King!

To be almost injured by the soul skill of a Soul Elder was truly a bit shameful.

But after all, this was Yafei; thinking of it this way, his mood felt much better.

"..." Ning Feiliu looked at them and hesitated, but still said, "You should still heal your teammate, otherwise he is going to die... Never mind, Lingling."

He called out to Ye Lingling on the spectator stand not far away.

"Mm." Ye Lingling did not say a word, came to the Douhun Platform, released her Nine Heart Begonia, and treated Ling Yue's injuries.

Because it was his first time using it, Ning Feiliu's Summoning of the Ice and Snow God was indeed heavy-handed, but it was also because he did not have much soul power left, so the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God lasted for less than two seconds.

The main thing is that the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God is different from the Summoning of the Casting God.

The Summoning of the Casting God belongs to directly draining a portion of your soul power, about thirty percent, to unleash two consecutive powerful attacks.

The Summoning of the Ice and Snow God, however, continues as long as your soul power supply is constant; it drains half a percent of soul power per second, and if it lasts for twenty seconds, your soul power will be completely exhausted.

At the same time, the instantaneous explosive power of the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God is not as great as the Summoning of the Casting God, but it excels in its massive range.

In a circular area with a diameter of one hundred meters centered on Ning Feiliu, it is very difficult for anyone to escape the release range of this soul skill.

Unless one has a cheap soul skill like Invincible Golden Body.

Even for Teleportation, in the original story, the ten thousand year Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone skill used by Tang God King after Xiao Wu's sacrifice was only a teleportation of one hundred meters.

Xiao Wu's own original Teleportation was only five meters.

Then there is the fact that the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God is mainly focused on control, slowing down opponents, or even freezing them.

Its seemingly powerful lethality is secondary.

One is a small-range, high-burst powerful soul skill, and the other is a large-range, continuous control-type soul skill; one can only say that each has its own merits, and it depends on how Ning Feiliu chooses and applies them in actual combat.

But regardless...

Both Blessing Skills are too strong, to the point that Ning Feiliu can complete challenges above his rank.

Under the powerful healing effect of Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, Ling Yue's complexion gradually recovered, and it looked like there was no longer any danger to his life.

At this time, Carlisle brought Jin Xi'er and gradually walked up, his expression complex.

Carlisle came before the still-unconscious Ling Yue, picked him up, and said to Ning Feiliu, "Thank you."

"It's nothing, after all, this isn't a deathmatch, and I don't want him to die," Ning Feiliu said casually.

It is the same thing: it was just a match, and Ling Yue's provocation just now was not an act that invited death; he would not easily take a living life.

"Very well..." Carlisle nodded; it seemed he was not an unreasonable person.

But he suddenly said, "However, are you really not considering joining our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team? I hope you can consider it carefully."
