Golden Fortress.
This is Mirror Hongchen's Fourth Soul Skill.
The martial soul development of the Hongchen Family is primarily in the direction of turrets.
Xiao Hongchen is like this, and so is Mirror Hongchen. Meng Hongchen is an exception.
The Purple Gold Dragon Beast is definitely a top-grade soul ring for them.
Not everyone in the family can obtain such a soul skill.
Mirror Hongchen's luck wasn't bad, but unfortunately, when he encountered the Purple Gold Dragon Beast back then, it was only his Fourth Ring, and the Purple Gold Dragon Beast he encountered was merely five thousand years old.
If Xiao Hongchen reached Mirror Hongchen's level and the Soul Guide skills were elevated to the same level, perhaps he could instantly transform into a metal fortress, setting up multiple Seventh-level Soul-guided Cannons.
Mirror Hongchen, however, needs some time to prepare.
Thankfully, the Titan Snow Demon King's hesitation provided this time.
A war fortress took shape.
Around the giant true form of the toad, layers of metal piled up, with one soul-guided cannon embedded after another.
The Titan Snow Demon King roared angrily.
"Humans, you are seeking death!"
He never intended to let Mirror Hongchen and the others go, and now provoked again, he was even more furious.
"Damn it, is this Titan Snow Demon King really determined to kill us?" As Mirror Hongchen pondered, he continued preparing.
Inside his metal fortress, fixed soul-guided cannons were placed, ready to be fired at any time.
A chill rushed straight to the Titan Snow Demon King's head.
An overwhelming sense of fear swept over him.
At this moment, the Titan Snow Demon King felt that the opposite side had the power to kill him.
What's going on?
What happened?
...
As both sides faced off, outside the core circle of the Land of the Far North.
A young boy shivered with cold.
"Brother Tianmeng, are we there yet?"
"Yuhao, we're almost at the core of the Land of the Far North, we're almost there."
The Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm muttered, "This time you're lucky, the Titan Snow Demon King somehow ran to the perimeter, you have a chance to fuse with your Second Martial Soul without disturbance."
The Titan Snow Demon King is still one of the three Celestial Kings of the Land of the Far North and the most active one. After all, he just surpassed a two-hundred-thousand-year Celestial Tribulation and doesn't have much to worry about.
Simply put, he's the biggest variable.
"Yuhao, I'll have to use the relics next, and you'll need to withstand the low temperatures on your own."
"Brother Tianmeng, I'll do my best!"
Fooled by the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm to the edge of the core zone of the Land of the Far North, Huo Yuhao had no way back.
"Yuhao, you must hang in there!"
After cheering up Huo Yuhao once more, the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm unleashed his power.
A terrifying spiritual power radiated outward with him at the center, spreading an invisible aura.
A dull thunder rumbled in the overcast sky.
"Ice Emperor, I know you've sensed my presence. I've returned for revenge, dare you come and meet me!"
...
"Ice Emperor, dare you come and meet me!"
The terrifying spiritual fluctuation extended incredibly far.
Under the intentional control of the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm, the range was mainly focused on the core circle of the Land of the Far North.
Yet the spiritual pressure of that million-year Soul Beast spread throughout the entire Land of the Far North.
"Is that the big worm?"
In Su Yu's mind, the voice of Ellex rang out.
"That young boy is also there, and the hostility on him is even stronger now..."
"Sigh..."
Ellex sensed many familiar things in Huo Yuhao.
Especially that feeling of being toyed with by fate.
"Su Yu, if possible, lend that child a hand, don't let hatred blind him."
Though he had no ties with Huo Yuhao, he instinctively hoped no one would follow in his footsteps.
Destruction and salvation are but a thought away. Once the manipulation of fate goes awry, it leads to irreparable disaster.
"Alright."
Su Yu merely agreed, without making any promises.
He understood Ellex's experiences and could grasp Ellex's intentions.
If there was something he could do, he naturally wouldn't mind lending a hand. But if time didn't permit, he'd rather eliminate the threat early to prevent widespread destruction.
...
The Titan Snow Demon King stared towards the direction of the core zone, his eyes flickering.
Mirror Hongchen was also inwardly shaken.
Such terrifying spiritual power.
Does the Land of the Far North still have such a horrifying presence?
Isn't the most powerful in the Land of the Far North supposed to be the three Celestial Kings?
The Snow Empress, the Ice Emperor, and the Titan Snow Demon King.
Who is Celestial Dream?
"The Land of the Far North certainly hides its talents."
The Land of the Far North is vast and boundless, scarce in Soul Beasts, but due to its harsh environment and rare visits from Soul Masters, the Soul Beasts that do inhabit here generally have high cultivation.
Unexpectedly, aside from the three Celestial Kings, there exists such a hidden terrifying presence.
How does this terrifying spiritual power compare to the Evil Emperor?
Mirror Hongchen silently compared, shocked in his heart.
For aside from the oppressive negative aura, even the Evil Emperor's pure spiritual power pales in comparison to this Celestial Dream.
"That Celestial Dream fellow returned?"
The Titan Snow Demon King no longer had the mind to spar with Mirror Hongchen just now.
Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm!
Such a boost!
If he devoured it, his cultivation could increase by at least three hundred thousand years!
By then, would he be powerful enough to be a match for the Snow Empress?
...
Compared to these Vermilion-eyed Ice Toads, the Titan Snow Demon King clearly cared more about his power and the Snow Empress.
"Humans, retreat quickly!"
Already at a disadvantage in terms of location, if injured, he wouldn't be able to compete with the Ice Emperor.
The Titan Snow Demon King's impatience grew.
"Celestial Dream is still so worthless, how long can it hold out? Damn it!"
Mirror Hongchen was extremely vigilant.
Covering Su Yu and the others, they slowly retreated.
The Vermilion-eyed Ice Toads behind the Titan Snow Demon King rapidly vanished one by one.
Both parties retreated in tacit agreement to prevent a conflict from breaking out.
In the Sea of Spirit, Su Yu requested Elder Yi.
"Elder Yi, help mark that newly ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion-eyed Ice Toad."
"No problem."
...
Half an hour later.
Completely unable to sense the Titan Snow Demon King's presence, Mirror Hongchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Glad a battle didn't erupt."
"Indeed."
Meng Hongchen was still shaken, having never imagined encountering the Titan Snow Demon King while hunting for a Fifth Soul Ring.
She furrowed her brow in deep concern.
The Vermilion-eyed Ice Toads are actually linked to the Titan Snow Demon King.
How are they supposed to hunt Vermilion-eyed Ice Toads in the future?
"Hall Master, did the Titan Snow Demon King leave?"
"The recent spiritual pressure seemed to catch the Titan Snow Demon King's attention, he has gone toward the core zone. Perhaps it was a summon from the true ruler of the Land of the Far North..."
Su Yu twitched his mouth.
"The Vermilion-eyed Ice Toad couldn't possibly follow the Titan Snow Demon King back to the core zone.
Among those Vermilion-eyed Ice Toads just now, I noticed one with a suitable age."
Mirror Hongchen gave Su Yu a surprised glance.
In such danger, you still checked the age?
Your heart is quite bold.
"They've already gone into hiding, and they know the environment better than we do, they're hard to find."
"Don't worry, Hall Master, I've already marked it."
"Hmm?"
Mirror Hongchen looked at Su Yu, full of puzzlement.
How did you mark it?
