Chapter 15

"Defense is there, control is there; it's a pity, if it weren't for the soul ring age not being right, it would truly be a good soul ring."

Listening to the explanation of the green-robed Soul Saint on the side, Xu Jianyang frowned.

In fact, after walking for a whole morning, they hadn't encountered soul beasts with suitable ages.

One thousand years, two thousand years, four thousand years, eight thousand years, and even ten-thousand-year soul beasts had been encountered.

It was just that either they weren't suitable, or the age was too high, or too low.

Now they finally encountered a suitable one, with attributes and martial soul very compatible, but they never expected that they had to give it up because the age was too high.

"Fourth Elder, don't worry; according to records, Ice Crystal Turtles are generally tribal and gregarious; as long as one appears, there will be an endless stream of Ice Crystal Turtles nearby."

After Xu Jianyang's words fell, the green-robed Soul Saint began to explain.

Not long after his words fell, sure enough, the lake surface began to ripple over a large area.

Under the sun's illumination, one after another ice crystal turtles flashing with different brilliance appeared; their body sizes and ages varied.

There were hundred-year, millennium, and even those that had just broken through ten years, very extensive.

Including the cubs, the number of ice crystal turtles contained in the entire ice lake reached thousands.

Looking at it, it was also a not-weak ice crystal turtle tribe.

"It seems our luck is quite good; we actually found the needed soul ring on the first day."

Seeing these densely packed ice crystal turtles appearing, a smile appeared on Xu Jianyang's face.

"Prepare, form a formation!"

"Beat those few millennium ones down first."

With Xu Jianyang's words falling, seven people wearing green robes flew rapidly toward the ice crystal turtle tribe that had just emerged from the lake.

Ang!

As the five-thousand-year ice crystal turtle leading them discovered the anomaly, it suddenly raised its head and let out a strange cry, and instantly countless ice crystal turtles began to move their turtle bodies rapidly and gather together.

As they rapidly shrank together, almost in the blink of an eye, they formed a mirror surface.

"Sixth soul skill, Xuanming Destruction Kill!"

Roar!

With a roar, a black soul ring kept flashing.

Bang! Boom!

"Ah!"

With a green light shooting toward the ice crystal turtle group, a white light bounced back at ten times the speed of the green light.

The green-robed Soul Saint who launched the attack was instantly hit and rapidly crashed into the three huge caves behind.

"This...?"

Seeing that this ice crystal turtle had this ability, Xu Nian'an's eyes instantly narrowed.

Good fellow, it could even bounce back.

Xu Nian'an saw clearly that it was led by the five-thousand-year ice crystal turtle.

I wonder if obtaining its soul ring could obtain this perverted soul skill.

Suddenly the earth began to tremble, and Xu Jianyang and Xu Jianzong frowned, as if they had sensed something.

Ang!!!

Crack~ crack~

The ice surface began to collapse, and a powerful soul power suddenly descended on a green-robed Soul Saint.

"Not good, there is a ten-thousand-year soul beast!"

The Soul Saint who was first knocked into the ice cave transmitted a surprised voice, followed by a flash of black light.

"Seventh soul skill, Xuanming True Body!"

Outside, the green-robed Soul Saint who was surrounding the ice crystal turtle group and was locked on suddenly disappeared, replaced by a behemoth that was a full fifteen meters large.

"This is the Ice Crystal Turtle King!"

Seeing this suddenly appearing creature, Xu Nian'an's body instantly froze on the spot.

Fifteen meters, what concept was fifteen meters? Four or five stories high, and most importantly, this was a living thing, it would move!

Ang! Ang!

With two roars, two more creatures over ten meters crawled out of the ice cave giant hole.

"Old Five, do it!"

With Xu Jianyang's words falling, Xu Jianzong flew out rapidly.

"Okay, Fourth Brother."

"Sixth soul skill, Xuanming Domain!"

Xu Jianzong flew rapidly in front of the ice cave giant hole, blocking the two giant beasts that had broken through ten meters.

Xu Jianyang turned his gaze to the ice crystal turtle king that was a full fifteen meters long.

With one step, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—nine soul rings were constantly flashing.

The powerful pressure of a Titled Douluo raged, and behind the Ice Crystal Turtle King, the ice crystal turtle group that had gathered into a mirror collapsed instantly.

"Leave, or... die!"

Xu Jianyang's indifferent voice echoed, and flames began to burn on his body; before long, a turtle shell burning with scorching flames began to slowly appear.

Behind, Xu Nian'an, who saw all this, widened his eyes.

"Titled Douluo... ten-thousand-year soul ring!"

Under the pressure of a Titled Douluo, a ten-thousand-year soul ring, as well as a Soul Douluo and seven Soul Saints.

Helpless, the Ice Crystal Turtle King chose to abandon one or two offspring in exchange for the survival of more offspring.

"Are you sure you want to choose it?"

"Crossing the soul ring absorption limit is life-threatening."

Xu Jianzong was constantly explaining the safety hazards inside.

Xu Nian'an remained unmoved, his gaze firm, his storage ring flashed, a sharp knife appeared in his hand, and he slowly walked toward the heavily injured five-thousand-year ice crystal turtle.

Beside it was also a heavily injured one-thousand-plus-year ice crystal turtle.

"Young Sect Master, consider it again; in fact, a one-thousand-plus-year second soul ring has already crushed many people, at least we old guys can't compare to it."

That's right, under the pressure of Xu Jianyang and others, in order for the tribe not to be exterminated and to continue to extend, the Ice Crystal Turtle King chose to abandon a five-thousand-year and a one-thousand-plus-year ice crystal turtle.

This was what Xu Nian'an chose.

"No, if the second soul ring still absorbs a one-thousand-plus-year one, wouldn't my third soul ring still be a millennium one, with no hope for ten thousand years?"

Hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Xu Jianyang sighed.

Although he also felt that Xu Nian'an absorbing a five-thousand-five-hundred-and-fifty-five-year ice crystal turtle was too risky.

But he had already heard his ambition in Xu Nian'an's words.

"Forget it, forget it; the reason young people are called young people is because they have more trial-and-error costs; let Nian'an try."

Hearing this, Xu Jianzong widened his eyes.

"Fourth Brother, no, why are you following the Young Sect Master in messing around?"

"What if something happens?"

Hearing this, Xu Jianyang frowned.

"With me here, what problems can there be?"

"At most, he can't absorb it; then interrupt it, rest for a day or two, and absorb this one-thousand-plus-year ice crystal turtle, right?"

Pfft!

With a deep purple soul ring rising, Xu Nian'an's eyes flashed with excitement, and he slowly sat cross-legged on the ground.

Buzz~ roar!

With a roar, a domineering creature slowly crawled out behind Xu Nian'an.

Seeing this domineering creature, a look of realization appeared in Xu Jianyang's eyes, as expected.

And Xu Jianzong, as well as the other seven Soul Saints, widened their eyes.

Deep in the spirit sea, a ball of black mist flickered slightly.

"This... what pure soul power~"

"Kid, I'll help you."
