Chapter 609: Transcending Extreme Ice: The Peculiar Blue Stone

"What is it?" Feihuang asked curiously.

"Titan Snow Demon, there is no mistake, this must be a soul bone of a Titan Snow Demon. I never expected that the clansmen of that fellow Atai would also be hunted," Xuedi said.

Bingdi nodded, "The Titan Snow Demon clan is completely different from our Ice Jade Scorpion clan; the clan members are very few, with the entire population being only around twenty. That is why Atai has always been very protective of its people; after all, every one lost is one less. However, Xuedi, I think the fact that Atai's clansmen were hunted should be your fault. Who told you to beat Atai until it suffered comminuted fractures all over its body? Now it is probably nursing its injuries in the depths of the ice plains."

Xuedi was suddenly embarrassed; it seemed that was indeed the case.

"Hmph, how can this be blamed on me? It was all because that toad Atai wanted to eat swan meat, actually daring to covet me. Doesn't it know that the aesthetic standards of my Snow Maiden clan are very close to those of humans? With its appearance, I certainly don't fancy it. It would be different if it were my little brother Feihuang, right, little brother Feihuang?" Xuedi looked at Feihuang with a beaming smile.

Feihuang smiled, "Hehe, you flatter me, Xuedi."

He finally understood why Ning Rongrong would think the quality of this left arm bone far exceeded the torso bone she had obtained.

After all, it came from a Titan Snow Demon.

The Titan Snow Demon and the Titan Giant Ape actually belong to the same species; both are ancient exotic beasts. The Titan Snow Demon can also be said to be a subspecies of the Titan Giant Ape. The two only differ in their attributes: one is ice-attributed, and the other is earth-attributed.

This kind of Spirit Beast can fight ten-thousand-year beasts at a hundred years old, and can fight hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts at ten thousand years old, with a chance to win. It is the most supreme power-type Spirit Beast. Once absorbed, the improvement to physical fitness is terrifying.

Originally, this soul bone was very suitable for E Lai, but E Lai's six soul bones were already full.

And although Lingqi only had five, she was missing a torso bone, and her torso bone was undoubtedly going to be the one from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Then the only remaining candidate was Xun Yu.

Xun Yu currently only had two soul bones on him: a fifty-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor Torso Bone and a hundred-thousand-year Nature Spirit Head Bone, one mainly for increasing physical strength and the other for mental strength.

But the problem was that Xun Yu's spirit rings provided too little improvement to his own body and spirit. In his battles, he could only rely on his soldiers; he himself was a "battle-five-scum."

Ye Lingling had left a God-Bestowed Soul Ring for him, but Feihuang was a bit worried. With his physical fitness, even if he absorbed the God-Bestowed Soul Ring, how many years could he raise it to?

However, now with the top-grade Whale Glue and Titan Snow Demon soul bone provided by Ning Rongrong, this problem was easily solved.

"Not bad, Ning Rongrong. I like the Whale Glue and soul bone you gave. The lives of two Lower Four Sects Sect Masters, or one Spirit Hall Elder—other than Snake Spear Douluo, you can take your pick," Feihuang said.

Snake Spear had a debt of gratitude to Feihuang; even if Ning Rongrong brought a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, he would not move against his benefactor.

In fact, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Gui Douluo could not be moved either, because Chrysanthemum Douluo was his own person, and Gui Douluo, having been captured by Feihuang, was a prisoner in name but was actually being kept in the country as a family member of Chrysanthemum Douluo.

However, Feihuang could not let an outsider like Ning Rongrong know this secret; Chrysanthemum Douluo was a dark piece he had planted in the Spirit Empire.

Moreover, he also knew that Ning Rongrong would not choose Chrysanthemum Douluo or Gui Douluo; after all, those two did not participate in the original Soul Hunting Operation and were not her main targets.

After hearing Feihuang's words, Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. This Wushuang Douluo truly kept his word. What she had been worried about before was that Feihuang would go back on his word, but fortunately, he valued his promises. "Many thanks, Wushuang Crown Prince. Then, Crown Prince, I want Lingyuan Douluo of the Spirit Empire. It would be best if you could capture her alive for me; if not, sending me her head will also suffice," Ning Rongrong said decisively.

Among the Title Douluo who destroyed her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the ones who killed the most were Lingyuan Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo. Both of them were adept at large-scale attacks; one used a move called Hot-Blooded, and the other used Flame Meteor Fall, leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect littered with corpses.

Furthermore, the burns on the corpses of her father and Jian Yeye were also very severe, which showed they must have been the main force in killing her family.

Her hatred for them could not be washed away even if she exhausted all the water in the ocean.

It was just that Demon Bear Douluo had already died at Feihuang's hands, so her greatest enemy now was naturally Lingyuan Douluo.

Feihuang nodded, "Rest assured, I will definitely hand that old woman Lingyuan over to you."

In any case, Lingyuan Douluo was already on his must-kill list, and Ning Rongrong's choice was completely within Feihuang's expectations.

Feihuang then looked at the last blue stone, "What is this?"

Ning Rongrong explained, "Wushuang Crown Prince, I don't know what this thing is either. It usually has no effect, but if you input a little ice-attributed soul power into it, you will notice something different."

"Oh?" Feihuang became a little interested and slowly input his Extreme Ice power into the blue stone. Instantly, the stone emitted an intense icy light, and the surrounding temperature began to drop sharply.

"Hmm?"

Feihuang felt something was wrong and subconsciously threw away the stone in his hand.

He saw that his palm was already covered with a layer of ice crystals; if he hadn't thrown it away quickly, he feared even he would have been frostbitten.

Feihuang exhaled a cold breath, "Phew, what on earth is this thing? It actually almost froze me. My Extreme Ice is actually inferior to this stone."

"No, it can't be. Does this thing really exist in the world? I originally thought this was just a legend of our Extreme North," Tianmeng Iceworm widened his eyes, clearly knowing the origin of this thing.

Bingdi and Xuedi were even more filled with unwillingness. Why? Why didn't this thing appear earlier? If they had obtained this thing earlier...

Where would there be any need for Sacrifice? What were mere seven-hundred-thousand-year and four-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulations? "The three of you seem to know this thing. Can anyone explain it to me?" Feihuang asked.

"Let me say it!" Bingdi and Xuedi were still in the midst of complaining, unwillingness, and regret, so only Tianmeng Iceworm stood up to explain, "Feihuang, you should have heard my story. Although I am a Million-Year Soul Beast, my cultivation was not achieved through my own practice, but by consuming a lot of ten-thousand-year cold marrow. This ten-thousand-year cold marrow is a heaven-and-earth spiritual treasure produced in my Extreme North."

"A heaven-and-earth spiritual treasure?" Feihuang suddenly understood, "In other words, the stone in my hand is similar to the ten-thousand-year cold marrow, and is also a treasure produced in your Extreme North."

"No, it's completely different, or rather, it's the other way around," Bingdi said. "Compared to this stone, the ten-thousand-year cold marrow is simply the difference between a Soul Scholar and a Title Douluo. It's not that the Extreme North had this stone, but rather that the Extreme North gradually formed after such stones existed."
