Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 247: Refining in an Instant
"call!"

A breath still carrying lingering warmth was exhaled from Tianxia Wuzei's lips, turning into a wisp of white mist beneath the frigid ice.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of understanding flashing in them.

At this point, they had successfully absorbed the soul ring of the Titan Snow Demon King.

"With the suppression of a million-year spirit ring, absorbing a spirit ring of about two hundred thousand years was surprisingly fast. If it were just a one hundred thousand-year spirit ring, it could probably be absorbed in an instant!"

For Wuzei, hunting down spirit beasts doesn't take long now; absorbing spirit rings is the most time-consuming part.

Now that we have the Silver Dragon King's spirit ring, absorbing the spirit ring won't take too long.

In this way, efficiency will be greatly improved.

The Thief Under Heaven was not excited about absorbing a 200,000-year soul ring.

Because to him, it was just an ordinary spirit ring.

"My true target has always been those two ferocious beasts at the top of the soul beast realm in the far north, and... the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!"

With a light step, Wu Zetian lightly stomped on the ice, shifting the entire weight of the Wind Domain beneath the ice.

During this period, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already fallen into the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, and it was only possible to find him under the ice surface.

Soon, Wu Zetian found the ancient ice marrow and broke through the ice without hesitation.

"The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm gained its million-year cultivation by consuming Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. If we can find the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, we will have a high probability of finding it!"

The thief's eyes burned with fervor, and he was instantly possessed by the Golden Fire Dragon King.

The scorching dragon flames collided with the frigid ice, producing a hissing sound.

The once hard, iron-like ice was instantly scorched by the flames, creating a passage over a hundred feet long.

Like a shooting star chasing the moon, the thief-free world penetrated deep beneath the ice.

Less than a quarter of an hour after he left the ice, two figures appeared at the spot where the Titan Snow Demon King had died.

Hyotei looked around in confusion, seeing no one, and asked, "Strange, where did that aura go?"

Although the story of "No Thieves Under Heaven" involves breaking through the ice, the ice and snow in the far north are terrifying.

The hole that had just been opened had already frozen over again, cutting off any breath.

Xue Di frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the ice surface.

Finally, its gaze settled on a raised mound of ice on the ice surface.

"That is……"

Snow Emperor had a vague sense of unease. He raised his hand and waved it away, causing the snow and ice on the ice pile to fly away, revealing a transparent block of ice.

Inside the ice block was the head of the Titan Snow Demon King.

Upon seeing this, Hyotei's aura of coldness surged instantly, and his emerald green vertical pupils were filled with disbelief.

As one of the three great kings of the far north, the Ice Emperor knew better than anyone the strength of Titan Snow Demon King.

Although that guy was reckless, his 200,000 years of cultivation was no joke.

Even if she wanted to kill the Titan Snow Demon King, it would require a fierce battle, and it would be impossible for the battle to end so quickly.

Xue Di's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

Although I don't like the Titan Snow Demon King, he is ultimately a symbol of the far north.

It is also its pre-ordained successor in the far north!

The killing of its successor is undoubtedly a slap in the face to this ruler of the far north!
"Atai's soul remains are missing."

The Snow Emperor's voice was as cold as ancient ice, and her gaze swept across the surrounding ice surface as if she wanted to drag out the enemy hidden in the shadows.

"It must have been the work of a greedy human! He killed Atai and took the soul bone; there's no way he could have escaped unscathed. In such a short time, he must still be hiding in the far north!"

"Search!"

Hyotei nodded emphatically, and then a beam of green light shot into the sky.

It sent a message to the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, instructing them to dig three feet into the ground in the far north!

At this moment, the thief-free world beneath the ice is completely unaware of this.

He followed the passage deeper and deeper, finally stopping in a spacious ice cave.

"arrive!"

Looking at the enormous Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow before him, Tianxia Wuzei was filled with excitement.

But there was no missing Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in front of him, and he knew that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was not here.

"It seems the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm isn't here."

He wasn't surprised, after all, there was more than one place in the far north where the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow was, and who knew where the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was eating or sleeping right now.

"But it's alright. As long as we have clues, how hard can it be to follow the trail?"

"No Thieves Under Heaven" was very confident and once again activated the Wind Domain.

This time, the focus of the field is no longer exploration, but tracking.

Centered on the mass of ancient, mysterious ice marrow before them, the energy spread outwards along the veins of the ice layer.

Soon, a goal was set.

That was another ice cave, which also contained a mass of ancient, mysterious ice marrow.

However, a large chunk was missing from the edge of this mass of ancient ice marrow, as if it had been gnawed by something.

More importantly, next to the Myriad Years of Profound Ice Marrow, a white figure was curled up there, leisurely munching on the marrow, making soft crunching sounds.

In my perception, the figure was entirely white and resembled a maggot.

"No Thieves Under Heaven" suddenly opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

"finally found you!"

The next moment, he unleashed his full power as the Golden Fire Dragon King, instantly evaporating the ice within a hundred meters radius.

The "No Thief Under Heaven" formation hurtled towards the location of the "Ice Silkworm of Heaven's Dream" like a cannonball, making no attempt to conceal its presence and displaying immense power.

Such a commotion was heard all the way to the ice.

At that moment, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, who were searching for people on the ice, simultaneously noticed the movement and their gazes instantly fell on the ice. The two beasts exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time.

"The person is under the ice!"

Hyotei said fiercely, "Dare to go under the ice? You're courting death! Let's go!"

Before he finished speaking, Hyotei transformed into a drill bit that spun rapidly, digging out a tunnel.

Snow Emperor followed closely behind!

Although it wanted to avenge the Titan Snow Demon King, it was unusually uneasy at the moment.

"Why this unease? Is the enemy so powerful?! No, in the far north, I am the true emperor!"

As the ruler of the far north, the Snow Emperor is a ferocious beast with a cultivation level of 700,000 years.

Moreover, it has not yet experienced the 700,000-year tribulation, and its strength is still at its peak.

With such strength, few on the continent can rival them.

So without stopping, they continued to venture deeper beneath the ice.

Beneath the ice layer lies the ancient, mysterious ice marrow.

Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has a cultivation of a million years, it does not know how to use it.

"Hmm? Why do I have this...bad feeling?"

It stopped moving and tilted its head in confusion.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the millennia-old Xuanbing Marrow melted away, and the shockwave knocked it to the ground.

Tianmeng Bingcan looked up and saw a figure with a golden body radiating heat like the sun.

The person who came was none other than the one who said, "There are no thieves under heaven."

Tianxia Wuzei looked down at Tianmeng Bingcan and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"finally found you!"

Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is a maggot, it is not unintelligent.

Clearly sensing the hostility emanating from Tianxia Wuzei, it instantly transformed into a foot-long maggot.

He turned and flew towards a crack in the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow.

That was an escape route it had dug in advance.

"Want to leave? It's too late!"

Tianxia Wuzei chuckled coldly and raised his hand to make a grabbing motion towards Tianmeng Bingcan.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was instantly sent flying backward, completely powerless to resist.

"No, no! Let me go! I don't taste good!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm trembled with fear, her voice trembling with tears.

Ignoring the thief, he grabbed it in his hand.

Just as he was about to absorb it, a rumbling sound suddenly came from above.

The next moment, a pair of emerald green pincers crossed and slashed at Tianxiawuzei.

With a single, sideways movement, he easily evaded the thief.

"The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. And..."

He looked up at Hyotei and saw a stunningly beautiful woman slowly descending.

"Ice and Snow Maidens! Very well, I didn't go looking for you, but you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep!"

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress fixed their gazes on Wu Zetian.

But soon, their attention was drawn to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his hand.

As fellow soul beasts, they sensed a powerful energy emanating from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"This is... a million-year-old soul beast?!"

Both beasts exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They have lived in the far north for so many years and have never heard of a million-year-old soul beast hidden here!

Seeing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm grasped at a straw and hurriedly shouted to the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor.

"Help me! Although I am a million-year-old soul beast, my cultivation was increased by consuming ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow. I have no combat power!"

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, their shock subsiding slightly.

If it were a soul beast that had cultivated for a million years, it would never be so cowardly.

It seems that, as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, its cultivation level was indeed enhanced through a special method.

That's why they didn't act immediately.

After all, it's a million-year-old soul beast. Even if it's weak, it should still have some means of survival, right?

They wanted to see what tricks Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had up its sleeve.

Seeing this, Tianxia Wuzei smiled faintly.

"You have lost your only chance to rescue it!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly increased the pressure in his hand!
Click!

With a soft crack, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's body went limp instantly, and the light in its eyes went out completely.

Immediately afterwards, a golden spirit ring radiating brilliant light rose from its corpse.

The pupils of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress suddenly dilated, their faces filled with shock.

The thief raised his hand and beckoned to the golden spirit ring, which was then drawn to him and attached to his body.

hum!
A flash of golden light, and there was no lengthy refining process.

That million-year-old soul ring was absorbed in an instant!
