They had actually seen a human soul master with a four-ring soul and a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Moreover, from the aura, it seemed to be a soul beast of their own extreme northern land.
"King! Kill this human soul master; he has slaughtered the spirits of our extreme north."
"Yes, this pure land of the extreme north should not allow humans to enter!"
Several Titan Snow Demons roared angrily. However, the towering shadow, which was thousands of meters high, merely observed them without showing any signs of attacking. The Titan Snow Demon King, with a cultivation of 300,000 years, was even more intelligent than some humans.
It felt a unique aura emanating from this human, one of ancient pressure that it had only sensed before from the Ice God and the Giant Dragons.
"Human, seeing that your cultivation is not easy, leave the inner region of the extreme north," the Titan Snow Demon King's terrifying giant eyes fixed on Gu You.
"Sorry, I can't leave. I came here with the intention of seeking you out. Now that soul beasts are becoming scarce on the continent, and there are almost no ten-thousand-year soul beasts left, my third soul ring is already at the ten-thousand-year level. I can't allow future soul rings to be lower than this, can I?" Gu You was unafraid of the Titan Snow Demon King because he had enough persuasive tactics.
"Arrogant!"
Even the Titan Snow Demon King was enraged by Gu You's words. Wasn't this basically suggesting that it should be used as a soul ring?
"Human, since you seek death here, then let me show you the power of the Ice God Titan Roar!"
"King! Our King!"
"Let this arrogant little human taste the power of our Titan Snow Demon Clan!"
The Titan Snow Demons all shouted in support.
"Can you first hear my conditions? I guarantee you will be satisfied," Gu You spoke calmly, his purple vertical pupils emitting boundless pressure, which intimidated all the Titan Snow Demons.
"Impossible!" The Titan Snow Demon King looked towards the snow-covered ground and struck it with a massive fist. A loud boom echoed as a seven- to eight-meter-long hole appeared in the ground.
It had felt bloodline suppression. It was a descendant of the Ice God, how could it be suppressed? Could it be...? A terrifying thought rose in its mind.
"Since you are willing to listen, then I will tell you: I can take you all to become gods, just like the two great masters of the extreme north from ten thousand years ago, to enjoy endless years, breaking through the great tribulation of 300,000 years. You think you still have a chance with 400,000 years?" Gu You's voice was crisp and traveled far and wide.
The Titan Snow Demon King fell silent. It truly did not have the ability to survive the 400,000-year great tribulation. But this human boy in front of it was saying he could help it become a god. It also wanted to enjoy that immortal life, but could it really trust him?
"How can I believe you?"
"With this."
A circle of purple light appeared behind Gu You's head, glowing with a divine radiance that emanated a divine aura.
Thud!
The Titan Snow Demon King almost knelt. It dropped to one knee. This aura was too familiar. It had once seen it from a human god servant 280,000 years ago.
"Great God," the Titan Snow Demon King knelt and spoke respectfully.
The other Titan Snow Demons also lost their earlier arrogance and knelt down, their massive bodies like mountains, causing the ground to tremble.
Gu You looked down at everything before him. One day, he would make this sky, this earth, unable to cover his eyes or bury his heart. He would make the whole world bow to him and become the true master who controls the sun and moon and plucks the stars.
The snowstorm howled as it swept down. This scene filled Gu You's heart with a sense of grandeur and planted in him an eternal seed of ambition—to become the Emperor of the Heavens.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, how could Yuezi dare to...
"No need to call me Great God. I haven't fully mastered that power yet," Gu You closed his eyes.
"Yes! But if I leave, what will happen here? What about my people?" The Titan Snow Demon King asked the most crucial question.
"It's simple. You all come with me," Gu You responded easily.
Huh?
Not only was the Titan Snow Demon King stunned, but even the other Titan Snow Demons were puzzled. Their cultivation levels ranged from a thousand years to ten thousand years, and they had a certain level of intelligence.
"Become my soul spirit, merge into my spiritual sea, and you will understand. The extreme north will not perish. Don't worry, if humans try to invade, I will not stand idly by," Gu You's tone was calm.
Though the Titan Snow Demon King had many doubts, when faced with the opportunity for immortality, it would not hesitate, even if there was only a sliver of hope. It did not want to die in the tribulation.
A gentle blue light gathered on the Titan Snow Demon King's head, and in the flash of greenish-blue light, a small light orb emerged and slowly floated up, heading towards Gu You's mind.
That's right, this was its spiritual essence.
The Titan Snow Demon King's body dimmed as its massive form collapsed to the ground, and the snowstorm around it grew violent.
The remaining Titan Snow Demons cried. Their king was gone, turned into a human soul ring. However, they did not attack Gu You. After all, the king had already said that it was voluntary.
Even though the process of releasing spiritual essence seemed simple, it was not something just any soul beast could do. Only those who had surpassed a great limit and reached a cultivation level of ten thousand years or more could perform such a feat.
"This! Your spiritual sea..." The Titan Snow Demon King marveled at the sight of Gu You's spiritual world.
It was a world! Soul beasts lived here, and the life energy was abundant. No wonder... no wonder...
"So, do you believe me now? Your clan can all be brought here to live without worries, and you will even enhance your cultivation," Gu You suddenly manifested an illusion and smiled at the Titan Snow Demon King.
"Titan Snow Demon Clan?" Iron Haan Haan suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"Ice Emperor Scorpion King? Even ten thousand years!" The Titan Snow Demon King was shocked.
"Let's all meet. This is Iron Haan Haan," Gu You pointed at the Ice Emperor Scorpion King.
"Fuck you! That's not my name!" Iron Haan Haan roared angrily.
"Are you itching for a beating? Dare to speak like that to your master?" Gu You laughed heartily.
Seeing this scene, the Titan Snow Demon King was stunned. Could humans and soul beasts really coexist peacefully?
"My name is Ah Tai. This name was given to me by the Snow Empress," the Titan Snow Demon King spoke with a hint of nostalgia. The Snow Empress was beautiful, a rare ice and snow spirit, the embodiment of the world. It was said that many women would fall in love with her. As one of the three great kings of the extreme north at the time, it had naturally been fond of her. But alas, the Snow Empress was too powerful. It had never dared to confess its feelings.
"That's more like it. Let's get to know each other. Don't fight next time we disagree. I still need to absorb soul rings and gather Ah Tai's clan. I'll leave first," Gu You's figure gradually disappeared.
"Don't forget to gather my whole clan!" The Ice Emperor Scorpion King muttered again.
Ice Emperor Scorpion Clan: 6...
Gu You shook his head. The soul ring of the Titan Snow Demon King began to form—an orange soul ring, the unique trait of a three-hundred-thousand-year soul spirit.
