Chapter 43 Ancient Soul Beast Abyss Ice Prison Tiger
Beneath this vast glacier, in the deepest depths.
This is not solid permafrost, but a deep-sea ice abyss covered by eternally frozen ice!
Light is scarce, the cold is enough to instantly freeze a Soul Saint-level Soul Master, and the water pressure is terrifying. Yet, deep within this forbidden zone of life, lie many powerful ice-type Soul Beasts adapted to the extreme environment.
At the very bottom of the icy abyss, in a vast expanse of darkness, four eerie blue "lanterns" suddenly lit up!
Those weren't lanterns, but two enormous beast eyes!
Upon closer inspection, these were actually two enormous, ferocious tiger-like spirit beasts! Their bodies were covered in dark blue scales, with sharp, ice-crystal-like hairs growing from the gaps in the scales. They had a menacing single horn on their foreheads, and their tails resembled those of giant scorpions, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.
Their aura was ancient and violent, far more terrifying than the tiger-type spirit beasts commonly found in the outside world!
The smaller one seemed startled by the strange, provocative aura of a demonic beast emanating from above, and let out a low growl of unease, stirring up the icy seawater.
The giant tiger next to it, which was even larger and had a deeper and more terrifying aura, suddenly opened another pair of eyes—it actually had four eyes, the lower pair was dark blue, and the upper pair was scarlet!
It clearly sensed that aura as well, and seemed extremely dissatisfied with the intrusion of this unfamiliar, seemingly high-ranking yet weak aura into its territory.
"roar--!!!"
A deep, muffled roar, yet containing terrifying power, suddenly erupted from its gaping maw! The roar pierced through layers of seawater and ice, and although it weakened considerably by the time it reached the top, it still caused the entire frozen lake area to tremble, and the ice surface to crack!
Countless weak soul beasts dwelling in various parts of the Ice Abyss were instantly terrified by this roar containing the wrath of a king, and scattered frantically, causing a small-scale riot in the water.
This sudden, terrifying roar instantly startled Dai Youheng from his cultivation!
He suddenly opened his eyes, instantly retracting the Golden Gang Evil-Repelling Body technique. A glint flashed in his eyes, and his muscles tensed. He immediately flashed to the entrance of the ice cave, warily looking in the direction from which the sound came from, to the bottom of the deep ice lake!
"What a terrifying roar! What kind of soul beast is that? Sister Xue Di, can you tell?" Dai Youheng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately asked Xue Di. The oppressive force contained in that roar made him feel an unprecedented sense of threat, far exceeding any opponent he had encountered before.
The Snow Emperor paused for a moment, her voice carrying a rare hint of solemnity and doubt. "This roar... contains extreme cold and ancient ferocity, it's definitely not a soul beast commonly found in the far north. It doesn't even seem like a species that should exist in this era. Its bloodline origin is probably extremely ancient, and I cannot immediately determine its species. Youheng, be careful, you may have unintentionally disturbed a terrifying being slumbering beneath the glacier. Temporarily conceal all your aura and observe the situation."
Dai Youheng's heart tightened, and he immediately did as he was told to do his best to suppress his aura. The operation of the "Golden Gang Evil-Repelling Body" also turned into an extremely slow internal circulation, and his whole body seemed to turn into a part of the ice wall.
He had only intended to wait quietly for the Ice Bear King, but he never expected that the waters of the far north were far deeper than he had imagined. A single cultivation session seemed to have unearthed an extremely dangerous being hidden beneath this icy world.
Ever since that terrifying roar that shook the glacier came from the depths of the icy lake, Dai Youheng has maintained the highest level of vigilance.
After concealing his presence, he quickly ran backward, trying to get away from the place.
The Golden罡 Exorcising Body technique slowly circulated within the body, ready to unleash its strongest power or fastest speed at any moment.
Time passed in the deathly silence, only a few seconds later.
Sudden.
"Crack! Rumble—!"
Without any warning, the ancient glacier beneath Dai Youheng's feet let out a groan of unbearable strain, and then, centered on him, countless huge cracks spread wildly like black lightning!
The ice sheet collapsed at an unimaginable speed, leaving no room for thought whatsoever.
"Not good!" Dai Youheng's heart clenched, and his survival instinct instantly overwhelmed everything. He unleashed his soul power without reservation, pushed off the rapidly collapsing ice with his toes, and shot towards the seemingly stable ice shore in the distance like an arrow.
However, the rumbling sound beneath their feet did not recede but instead grew closer, as if some enormous creature was breaking through the ice from beneath it, relentlessly pursuing them.
He could even feel a chilling, brutal killing intent locked onto him.
Just as he was about to break free of the edge of the collapsed area, the terrifying sounds of pursuit and cracking ice behind him abruptly ceased. An eerie stillness descended upon the earth, leaving only his own rapid heartbeat and the faint sound of ice chips sliding beneath his feet.
This sudden silence was more unsettling than the previous roar.
Dai Youheng dared not be careless, and carefully slowed down, each step as light as a feather, for fear of disturbing the monster below, and all his senses were heightened to the extreme.
He felt intensely that something was silently watching him from beneath the cracked glacier, its cold gaze almost tangible.
At this very moment when his nerves were stretched to the limit.
"boom!!!"
A deafening roar, far more terrifying than before and seemingly capable of tearing eardrums, suddenly erupted. The vast glacier behind him exploded as if countless explosives had been buried within it, sending countless enormous ice blocks, mixed with millennia-old snow foam, soaring into the sky like a devastating ice explosion.
Two enormous, sky-covering black shadows, carrying a suffocating aura of ferocity and extreme cold, leaped out from the shattered glacial abyss!
Those were two colossal tigers, each the size of a thousand-year-old tree! Their entire bodies were covered in thick, dark blue scales, seemingly forged from pure ice, with sharp, icy hairs growing from the gaps in the scales. Their heads were ferocious, each with a single horn on its forehead, and their fangs gleamed with a cold light.
They exuded an ancient, cold, and violent aura, as if they were demons crawling out of the abyss of hell!
"Abyssal Ice Prison Tiger?" In her mind's eye, the Snow Empress's voice was filled with disbelief and shock. "This legendary ancient soul beast actually still exists? I thought they were extinct long ago!"
"Snow Emperor, you are the king of the far north, yet you didn't know that such a monster was lurking beneath your territory?" Dai Youheng's face instantly turned extremely ugly as he retreated rapidly, shouting in his heart. The oppressive aura emanating from the two giant tigers made his blood almost freeze.
He knew that the 100,000-year-old soul beast that the Snow Emperor had told him about preparing for him was probably not this tiger.
