Chapter 445 The Lively Sea of the Spirit
This net appears soft.
But each Blue Silver Emperor is connected to the ice layer, the earth, and the plant veins further away.
boom!
Titan Snow Demon King's first punch landed on the buffer net.
The blue-gold and blue-silver king instantly broke into large pieces, countless blades of grass were blasted into light spots by the fist wind, and the entire ice valley was shaken downwards by the terrifying impact.
To Titan Snow Demon King's surprise...
Its punch did not directly pierce through the buffer net as expected. After its power entered the Blue Silver Emperor's life net, it was as if it was split apart by countless fine roots. Part of it was guided into the ground, part of it was dissolved by the life light waves, and part of it was forcibly endured by the Blue Silver Emperor's true body.
Tang Chuan remained standing in the same spot, but the ice beneath his feet cracked, causing his robes to flutter wildly. He seemed to have caught the first punch.
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Titan Snow Demon King, who said incredulously:
"Using life force to deflect force?"
"That's interesting."
Tang Chuan shifted slightly, gestured for them to proceed, and whispered:
"Let's continue."
Titan Snow Demon King grinned.
"good."
"Now I understand a little why the Ice Bear King was willing to follow you."
Within the sea of consciousness, Xiaobai immediately said:
"I told you Dad was amazing!"
Hyotei said calmly:
"Atai's first punch was just a test, what are you so smug about?"
Xiao Bai said:
"I'm happy for my dad in advance."
Hyotei: "..."
Titan Snow Demon King did not give Tang Chuan much time to recover.
It raised its left fist again, and this time, the bloodline patterns on its body lit up, awakening the ancient power of the Far North Snow Demon clan within it. The ice beneath its feet trembled continuously, and then, thick streams of icy power rose from the ground, converging on its fist.
"The second punch."
"Snow Demon Splits the Mountain".
boom!
The second punch was heavier than the first. If the first punch was like a snow mountain crashing down, then the second punch was like an entire ice vein being uprooted and then smashed down.
The pressure of terror has not truly subsided.
The surrounding ice was already beginning to give way, and cracks were spreading wildly in all directions.
Tang Chuan's eyes narrowed, and his fifth spirit ring lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Fate's Tragedy".
A shimmering light, tinged with the ethereal patterns of destiny, emanated from the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves.
This time, Tang Chuan didn't use the Sorrow of Fate to attack the Titan Snow Demon King himself, but instead focused it on the Titan Snow Demon King's fist strike. The Sorrow of Fate is designed to make the target's old wounds, weaknesses, poisons, and vulnerable points more likely to erupt, and the fist strike is the same.
No matter how strong Titan Snow Demon King's second punch was, it couldn't be without flaws. The moment Blue Silver Fate's Sorrow landed, Tang Chuan saw extremely fine cracks in his eyes.
That was the point where the soul power was most chaotic within the fist's force.
Tang Chuan did not dodge. The next second, his second spirit ring lit up.
"Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Clone"
A blue-silver clone that looked exactly like Tang Chuan appeared beside him.
Immediately afterwards, the first spirit ring lit up.
"First Soul Skill, Simulation."
The aura of that blue silver clone instantly became almost identical to that of Tang Chuan's main body.
Titan Snow Demon King's eyes narrowed. Its punch was aimed at Tang Chuan's main body, but after simulating the soul skill and using the Blue Silver clone, its lock-on deviated for a very short moment.
It was only for a moment, but that was enough.
Tang Chuan's main body took a step forward, while his blue silver clone took the initiative to meet the fist's wind head-on.
boom!
The second punch landed.
The blue silver clone was almost instantly smashed, but the instant the clone shattered, it transformed into countless cyan-gold light spots, which followed the weak point found by the Wound of Fate and entered the fist wind.
Tang Chuan raised both hands, and all the grass leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor True Body spread forward at the same time.
"Third Soul Skill: Instant Healing."
A powerful life force isn't meant to be used to heal after injury, but rather to allow the body to enter a state of extreme recovery before the force of the punch lands. At the same time, the fourth soul skill, Emerald Light Wave, spreads out again, combining with the Blue Silver True Body to push Tang Chuan's life domain to its limit.
The second punch finally landed on Tang Chuan.
boom--!
The cyan-gold life net instantly shattered into a large portion.
Tang Chuan was blasted back dozens of feet, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ice.
He felt a tightness in his chest, but the moment he was injured, his third soul skill, Instant Healing, was activated, and his injured internal organs were forcibly repaired by his life force.
The jade-green light waves continuously washed away his injuries, suppressing what would have been a serious injury to an ordinary Title Douluo within a few breaths.
Tang Chuan steadied himself, looked up at the Titan Snow Demon King, and said calmly:
"That's the second punch."
Upon hearing this, Titan Snow Demon King did not immediately throw a punch; it looked down at its left fist.
That punch just now did hit Tang Chuan.
But it also clearly sensed that its punching momentum was disrupted at the last moment. It wasn't a contest of strength, but rather an attempt to exploit a weakness.
It's unbelievable that a plant-type Grass Martial Soul could use clones, simulation, destiny, and life force to tear a sliver of life through its powerful attacks!
Titan Snow Demon King's gaze towards Tang Chuan finally turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"I truly didn't expect your Blue Silver Grass to be this powerful?"
Tang Chuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood on the broken ice, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. The blue-silver roots beneath his feet were still deeply embedded in the earth, and strands of cyan-gold life light flowed around him, repairing the meridians and internal organs that had been shattered by the second punch.
The power of the Titan Snow Demon King was even more terrifying than he had anticipated.
This is not simply a matter of strength at the level of soul power.
Rather, it is a profound sense of oppression originating from blood, flesh, the earth, and the snow-capped mountains of the far north.
With his first punch, Tang Chuan relied on his Blue Silver Emperor True Body, Emerald Light Wave, and life force to deflect the force.
With his second punch, Tang Chuan used the Fate's Wound to find an opening, then used his Blue Silver Clone to simulate and disrupt the attack lock, before using Instant Healing and Emerald Light Wave to forcefully suppress the injury.
In his view, this third punch would definitely not be so simple.
The Titan Snow Demon King slowly straightened up, its massive body gradually rising in the wind and snow. Its long white fur was blown backward by the extreme cold soul power, and ancient ice-blue patterns emerged from under its fur, like the totem of an ancient ice field giant awakening.
The entire glacier valley began to tremble.
It's not just simple ground vibration.
Rather, the entire far northern land seemed to have been awakened by some kind of force.
The next second, a rumbling sound came from the distant snow-capped mountains, and a cracking sound came from the depths of the glacier. Thick snow rolled down from the mountain peak, but was drawn by the aura released by the Titan Snow Demon King halfway down, turning into streams of white snow that converged towards its fist.
Titan Snow Demon King looked down at Tang Chuan, his voice deep and thunderous:
"Humans".
"For the third punch, I will use my full strength."
After saying that, it raised its right fist.
The surface of that fist was instantly covered with a layer of deep blue ice armor. On the ice armor, ancient patterns kept lighting up, as if a snow mountain was pressed down in each pattern.
"If you can't catch it."
"I will die."
Tang Chuan gently exhaled a breath of cold air and said:
"bring it on."
A hint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Titan Snow Demon King.
"it is good."
"The third punch."
"Titan Snow Demon King's True Form - The Far North Presses Down!"
boom--!
In that instant, the world before Tang Chuan's eyes seemed to disappear.
There was no wind or snow.
There is no ice valley.
It lacked the enormous figure of the Titan Snow Demon King.
All he could see was an entire northern continent pressing down on him.
That punch wasn't fast.
It even looks slow.
But it is precisely because it is slow that it is even more terrifying.
It's like a ten-thousand-year-old glacier falling from the sky, or like an entire snow-capped mountain range pressing down, leaving no room for anyone to dodge.
Before the fist even arrived, the ice beneath Tang Chuan's feet collapsed with a deafening roar. The Blue Silver Emperor swords, which had been embedded in the ground, were shattered one by one. The snow trembled violently under this terrifying pressure, as if it were about to crumble at any moment.
Tang Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.
He could sense that this punch couldn't be neutralized by ordinary force-deflection.
Titan Snow Demon King's third punch was no longer just aimed at his physical body, but also pressed down on the surrounding space, earth, glaciers, and snow.
Within the Sea of Spirit, even the voice of Ice Bear King Xiaobai became somewhat tense:
"Dad, that big oaf is really going all out!"
Hyotei said coldly:
"Titan Snow Demon King is one of the strongest soul beasts in the far north, and this punch he threw was close to a desperate act."
Xue Di also said in a deep voice:
"Tang Chuan, you'd better not try to fight to the bitter end."
Tang Chuan did not respond, but instead raised his head to look at the far northern continent. Suddenly, a red light shone on his right arm, which was the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone that Xiao Wu had completely sacrificed.
The moment the red spirit ring burst forth with light, a strange golden light appeared on his body.
He unleashed the life-saving power inherent in the Soft Bone Rabbit to its fullest extent at this moment.
"Invincible Golden Body".
boom!
Titan Snow Demon King's third punch finally landed.
The terrifying force of the extreme north crashed down on Tang Chuan, and the golden light shield that erupted from his invincible golden body instantly shone to its extreme, like a golden sun being forcibly pressed into the glacier.
First breath.
The golden light stabilized.
The ice beneath Tang Chuan's feet shattered completely, and he was forced to sink half a foot into the ground.
Second breath.
The golden light began to tremble violently. The Titan Snow Demon King's fist was not completely blocked. The extremely heavy power of the far north was like snow mountains stacked one on top of another, pressing down on the invincible golden body and causing fine cracks to appear on the outer layer.
The third breath.
Click!
A clear crack appeared on the golden light shield.
Tang Chuan's expression changed slightly.
The invincible golden body is not true invincibility.
It can withstand most damage for a short time, but Titan Snow Demon King's punch was too heavy.
This wasn't a sword thrusting at us, nor a soul skill blasting us down; it was the weight of an entire northern snowfield pressing down. The invincible golden body blocked the most terrifying first wave of impact, but it couldn't completely block the subsequent, overlapping pressure.
Tang Chuan felt a tightness in his chest and a metallic taste of blood welled up in his throat.
The golden light shield continued to crack.
Shock also flashed in the eyes of the Titan Snow Demon King.
It hadn't expected that Tang Chuan possessed such a near-absolute defensive method.
But soon, it let out a low growl and pressed its fist down again.
"Break for me!"
boom!
The overwhelming force from the far north erupted once more.
The invincible golden body finally couldn't withstand the pressure, and the golden light shield shattered with a crash.
The golden light scattered into fragments.
Tang Chuan was shaken by the aftershock, but at the last moment before the fist landed, Tang Chuan's figure suddenly became illusory, as if his body had been detached from reality.
The destructive force that should have struck him instead passed through his body and slammed into the icy plain below.
One of his sixth soul skills is Void.
This life-saving divine skill comes from the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit. In a state of nothingness, Tang Chuan's body is temporarily immune to physical attacks and greatly reduces other damage.
Although Titan Snow Demon King's punch contained the soul power of the far north and the pressure of the earth, its core was still the physical strength and physical suppression. The invincible golden body withstood the initial and most domineering impact for Tang Chuan.
The void allowed him to avoid the final, devastating blow that could have truly crushed him.
Rumble—!
Titan Snow Demon King's third punch finally landed completely in the Ice Valley.
In that instant, the entire Ice Valley felt as if it had been punched hard by an ancient giant from the sky.
The earth collapsed.
The ice wall shattered.
The ice peak, hundreds of feet high, cracked at its base and then collapsed with a roar.
The distant, continuous snow-capped mountains trembled simultaneously. The thick snow that had accumulated on the mountain peaks for countless years was loosened by this punch, and then turned into a vast white torrent that poured down in all directions.
avalanche.
And it wasn't just an avalanche on one mountain.
It was a series of avalanches that shook the entire far northern mountain range.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting. A huge wave of snow rolled in from the distant mountains, reaching a height of hundreds of feet, a vast expanse of white, like a sea of snow pouring in.
Deep in the far north, countless soul beasts were awakened.
Giant wolves of the ice plains burst out of the snow cave, icy winged ice sculptures soared into the sky, and snow-armored scorpions burrowed into the ice. A large number of soul beasts looked in terror toward the direction of the ice valley, completely unaware of what was happening.
In the center of the Ice Valley, Tang Chuan's state of nothingness gradually dissipated.
His face was pale, blood was at the corner of his mouth, and his white clothes were even more badly torn.
Although the invincible golden body blocked the first wave.
The void also neutralized the final damage, but the soul power shock, spatial pressure, and extreme northern chill trapped in the middle still caused a significant impact on his meridians.
The third soul skill, Instant Healing, is activated immediately.
A bluish-gold life force surged from within him, rapidly repairing his injuries.
The fourth soul skill, Emerald Light Wave, also spread out from the Blue Silver Emperor's true form, gently sweeping across his body and soothing the remaining shock damage little by little.
Tang Chuan slowly raised his head, looked at the Titan Snow Demon King, and said solemnly:
"Your third punch."
"I caught it too."
Titan Snow Demon King remained in his punching stance, his massive body stiffening slightly.
It looked down at Tang Chuan and remained silent for a long time.
Invincible Golden Body.
nothingness.
Life heals.
Blue Silver Emperor reduces force.
Tang Chuan used many methods.
But there's nothing shameful about it.
Because from the very beginning, the Titan Snow Demon King's test was not whether Tang Chuan was qualified to stand and take a beating, but whether he could survive the full force of the North Snow Demon King's punch and whether he could withstand the heaviest pressure in the far north.
The results are obvious.
He did it.
It even did a better job than Titan Snow Demon King had imagined.
Titan Snow Demon King slowly withdrew his fist.
It gave Tang Chuan a deep look, then suddenly grinned and said:
"it is good."
"You caught it."
"I acknowledge that you are worthy to bear my spirit ring."
Within the Sea of Spirit, Ice Bear King Xiaobai cheered.
"Dad won!"
"You big oaf, do you give up or not?"
Titan Snow Demon King naturally couldn't hear its voice, but Tang Chuan heard it clearly. The next moment, another lazy and sleepy voice suddenly rang out from the depths of Tang Chuan's mental sea.
"What exploded?"
"Who's destroying the house?"
"Brother was sleeping soundly, why did it suddenly sound like there was an earthquake on Poseidon Island?"
Tang Chuan was slightly taken aback.
Deep within the sea of spirit, a ball of platinum-gold light slowly emerged.
It was a plump, round silkworm with a pure white-gold color.
It opened its eyes groggily, its two little eyes filled with a bewildered look of not having woken up yet.
Since Tang Chuan obtained his ninth spirit ring, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has spent most of its time sleeping deep within the Sea of Spirit, helping Tang Chuan stabilize his spiritual origin.
As a result, the commotion caused by Titan Snow Demon King's punch was so great that it caused an avalanche throughout the far north, and the sea of consciousness was also shaken and churned, forcibly waking it from its slumber.
As soon as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm opened its eyes, it saw a large white bear phantom in its spiritual sea.
Ice Bear King Xiaobai also saw it.
The two looked at each other.
Xiao Bai asked curiously:
"Who are you?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm blinked.
"I was going to ask you who you are."
Xiao Bai said:
"I am Ice Bear King Xiaobai, my father's fifth spirit ring."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was stunned for three breaths.
"dad?"
It suddenly looked at Tang Chuan's mental projection.
"Tang Chuan, when did you get such a big son?"
Tang Chuan: "..."
Hyotei said coldly:
"Shut up, you fat worm."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shuddered.
"Bingbing?!"
"You're awake too?"
Hyotei sneered.
"What? Did I wake you up?"
Tianmeng Bingcan immediately switched to a fawning tone.
"No, no, how can you call Bingbing's voice noisy? It's like the sound of heaven."
Ice Bear King Xiaobai glanced at Tianmeng, then at Bingdi, and couldn't help but whisper:
"Mom, this bug doesn't seem to be very smart either."
The Snow Empress said calmly:
"Um."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately objected, saying, "What do you mean by 'insect'? I'm a million-year-old soul beast! A million years! Do you know what that means?"
Xiao Bai thought about it carefully and said:
"Is it because I can sleep better than you?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm proudly declared:
"Of course!"
After saying that, it suddenly realized something was wrong.
Hyotei sneered, and his mental sea instantly became as lively as a boiling pot. (End of Chapter)
