The Snow Griffon, soaring high in the sky, descended slightly, giving it a clearer view. Indeed, there was a Red Jade Shrimp lying on the ice shore below.
The Red Jade Shrimp was motionless, like a delicious meal waiting for some creature to eat it.
The Snow Griffon was a cautious creature. It circled the area a few times, finding nothing out of the ordinary. But why was there a Red Jade Shrimp, a creature that lived in the deep sea, here out of nowhere?
There must be something fishy. It didn't directly swoop down and grab the Red Jade Shrimp. Its sharp eyes narrowed, and it gathered light in its mouth. A blue icy ray shot out, circling the area where the Red Jade Shrimp was, creating a circular ice wall around it.
The Snow Griffon's thousand-year soul skill, Freezing Ray.
Seeing that nothing changed nearby, and the Red Jade Shrimp was within its freezing range, the Snow Griffon no longer hesitated. It swooped down, extending its claws, ready to grab the delicious food.
With a rapid swoop, the Red Jade Shrimp on the ice surface was caught in its claws. The Snow Griffon quickly ascended, surrounded by its ice wall, believing nothing could disturb it.
But it was wrong. Just as it was about to ascend, several Dark Blue Silver Grass, like dancing long snakes, rapidly wrapped around it. At the same time, countless red branches surged from the ice below, resembling the branches of a Crimson Crown Wood Demon.
How could this be? How could there be a creature like a Crimson Crown Wood Demon in the core area of the extreme north?
The red branches growing from below were extremely fast, blocking its upward flight path. It needed to avoid them.
But during this time, the Blue Silver Grass arrived as well, with one strand successfully wrapping around its claws.
"Gyaa!!!"
The Snow Griffon roared in anger, its wings covered in ice crystals. Its originally brown-black feathered wings became as sharp as ice blades, and its wings slashed at the Dark Blue Silver Grass wrapped around its claws!
At the same time, it looked in the direction the Blue Silver Grass came from. The source of the numerous Blue Silver Grass was a young boy's left arm, which was made up of many Blue Silver Grass. The young boy revealed a smug smile. Behind him, a Crimson Crown Wood Demon's roots were deeply embedded in the ground, with a purple soul ring encircling it.
What's going on? When did humans appear in the extreme north? And a child at that? And what about the thousand-year soul ring with only one ring?
The Snow Griffon had too many questions, but it needed to get out of this predicament. While its ice wings slashed at the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around it, it also spat out a Freezing Ray towards the strange child.
"Heartfire Lotus!"
As the beam attacked Ming Tian, Ming Tian didn't pay any attention, nor did he defend. On the side, Yan Qingwan's first soul ring shone brightly, and Yan Lian Ji bloomed and stood gracefully in a lotus flower. Even in this icy world, the high temperature and heat on her body didn't diminish at all.
Several small lotus flowers clashed with the Freezing Ray, canceling it out, preventing it from hitting Ming Tian.
The Snow Griffon wanted to sever the Dark Blue Silver Grass wrapped around its feet. How could Ming Tian not take action? The Dark Blue Silver Grass wrapped around the Snow Griffon pulled down, causing the Snow Griffon to lose its balance slightly. The Crimson Crown Wood Demon manipulated the branches and roots, which grew upwards and entangled the Snow Griffon. The Snow Griffon was quickly bound, its thousand-year soul ring shining brightly. The Crimson Crown Wood Demon's roots pierced into the Snow Griffon's body, and Life Sucking was activated!
Ming Tian's left arm, made of Blue Silver Grass, twisted and transformed. Several strands of Blue Silver Grass formed a dark bow, and the Blue Silver Grass became sharp as arrows, shooting out rapidly and piercing into the Snow Griffon's body.
The Dark Blue Silver Grass's absorption ability activated, and the Crimson Crown Wood Demon's Life Sucking skill activated!
A continuous flow of life force surged into Ming Tian's body. Ming Tian felt that he was close to touching that layer of barrier, the barrier leading to the Soul Ancestor!
He had previously devoured the Crimson Crown Wood Demon, the Thunder Horned Wolf, and the Giant Pincer Ice Crab, plus this thousand-year Snow Griffon. The immense soul power and life force were enough for him to break through to the Soul Ancestor rank.
Soon! Soon!
Ming Tian continuously absorbed the soul power from the Snow Griffon, sensing his soul power rising. Just as he felt he was about to break through to the Soul Ancestor, the devoured Snow Griffon had already become a dried-up corpse, its eyes lifeless.
This Snow Griffon would never have imagined that it, out of caution, wanted to eat a Red Jade Shrimp, but it lost its life and its thousand years of cultivation.
A purple soul ring appeared on the Snow Griffon's body. This Snow Griffon had been dealt with by Ming Tian in a very short time.
"Sigh, what a pity. This Snow Griffon probably had over a thousand years of cultivation. If it was a bit higher, its cultivation would be enough to support me devouring it to the Soul Ancestor level."
Ming Tian shook his head.
Putting away the Crimson Crown Wood Demon, the Snow Griffon's soul shadow, along with the purple soul ring, came towards Ming Tian.
Just as Ming Tian wanted to devour the soul ring and the Snow Griffon together, hoping for another thousand-year spirit ring for his martial soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul within him suddenly stirred. The thousand-year soul ring that originally belonged to the Snow Griffon's martial soul actually attached itself to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul.
"Hmm? What's going on? Could it be that the Snow Griffon's soul ring matches the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul?"
Ming Tian didn't have any plans to add a soul ring to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul, but the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger actually wanted this soul ring on its own.
He could only feel his Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul filling in its current limit, the third ring. A purple soul ring was added to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul, while the Snow Griffon martial soul, which had no soul ring, actively generated a hundred-year innate soul skill.
Feeling the two new soul skills, Ming Tian was somewhat speechless.
"What's wrong, Ming Tian Gege?"
"My Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul devoured the Snow Griffon's soul ring, and the skill is to grow the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's original wings, called Wings of the Evil God, which grants me the ability to fly."
"And my Snow Griffon martial soul's first innate soul skill is the Snow Griffon's most basic skill, Freezing Ray."
Ming Tian said to Yan Qingwan, releasing his Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul, and the three best match soul rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared.
"Now I have filled the soul rings of three martial souls, which are the three yellow soul rings of the Red Dog, the best match soul rings of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Thunder Horned Wolf."
Ming Tian said.
He wasn't without the idea of a super soul ring match, but that would be too conspicuous, and he wasn't strong enough to have the ability to have a super soul ring match. Sometimes, an ordinary soul ring match was good enough, as long as the skills were practical enough.
"Ha! Third skill, Wings of the Evil God!"
Ming Tian activated his third ring, and a pair of dark purple wings appeared behind him. The wings were full, with beautiful lines and soft feathers.
"The third skill, Wings of the Evil God, grants the ability to fly, with no time limit, but it consumes soul power constantly."
"Wow! That's amazing, Ming Tian Gege, whatever skill you want, you get it!"
"That's right, with this skill, we can directly experience the feeling of flying."
"Come on, Xiao Wan."
Ming Tian extended his hand towards Yan Qingwan.
"Ming Tian Ge?"
"I'll hold you, and we'll fly to the center of the ice sea."
Ming Tian said this, and a blush appeared on Yan Qingwan's face, making her a little embarrassed.
"Uh, can we do that..."
Ming Tian saw Yan Qingwan like this and felt that his invitation was abrupt.
"Yes..."
Yan Qingwan placed the Little Ice Jade Scorpion in her arms and took Ming Tian's hand.
Ming Tian, with some stiffness, held Yan Qingwan in his arms. This was the first time the two of them had such intimate contact. Their faces were touching, and they could clearly feel each other's warm breath.
"Hold on tight, let's start flying."
Ming Tian's face was flushed, and he looked up at the sky, flapping the wings on his back and flying towards the sky. Yan Qingwan looked at Ming Tian's profile and buried herself in his neck, her hands around his neck, feeling the comforting warmth.
The two little people flew towards the interior of the ice sea.
