Chapter 109: The Tribulation Technique: Impervious to All Techniques! The Pierce Technique: Ultimate Destruction!
A few days later, in the Extreme North.
What first came into view was a boundless frozen plain, smooth like a mirror. As one went deeper, massive ice mountains rose from the ground.
Ice mountains hundreds or even thousands of meters tall could be seen everywhere, crystal clear yet jagged and steep.
Not only that, but the temperature here was extremely low. Even the air seemed frozen. Ordinary soul masters who stepped into this place would be frozen into ice sculptures in no time.
Yet at this moment, a white-clothed youth walked through this frigid land as if taking a leisurely stroll.
"Titan Snow Demon King, where are you? I really want to see you," he muttered.
This youth was Yun Yuan, who had come from Spirit City to the Extreme North. Now he was already within the core region of the Extreme North, searching for the Titan Snow Demon King he longed for.
As time passed, Yun Yuan continued to venture deeper into the core area. Finally, on a stretch of icy plain, he discovered a massive footprint.
In Yun Yuan's estimation, the owner of this footprint had to be at least one hundred meters tall. In the Extreme North, only the Titan Snow Demon King possessed such a size.
"Finally found you."
A smile curved Yun Yuan's lips. Then, the external soul bone Wind Thunder Wings appeared behind him. Flapping his wings, he flew into the sky.
What entered Yun Yuan's sight was a gigantic Titan-type soul beast. Judging by its height, it was about 120 meters tall.
Its facial contours resembled those of a giant ape, its forehead wrinkled, and its skin a bluish-gray. Two enormous fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth, and its eyes glowed like blood-red lanterns.
Upon seeing the Titan Snow Demon King, Yun Yuan grew even more excited. After finding this soul beast, hunting it would not be too difficult.
A Titan Snow Demon King with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation is equivalent to a rank ninety-six Super Douluo among human soul masters.
As for Yun Yuan, his base strength already stood at rank ninety-seven. With his self-created techniques and stacking force, he could reach the level of a peak ninety-eight Super Douluo.
However, the most important thing was to first lure the Titan Snow Demon King away. Fighting within the core area might attract the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, which would be quite troublesome for Yun Yuan.
Immediately after, Yun Yuan released his soul power pressure, pressing it toward the Titan Snow Demon King in the distance.
The Titan Snow Demon King had been hunting, but upon sensing this foreign aura, it raised its head toward Yun Yuan's direction and let out a roar, attempting to drive him away.
But Yun Yuan would not retreat so easily. He continued to release his pressure, provoking this third-ranked ruler of the Extreme North.
However, Yun Yuan restrained himself and did not reveal his full strength at once. The aura he displayed was roughly equivalent to that of a Titled Douluo.
Seeing this human repeatedly provoke it, the Titan Snow Demon King could no longer suppress its anger. Taking massive strides, it charged toward Yun Yuan.
Living in the Extreme North, it had little understanding of human soul masters. In this era, powerful soul masters were concentrated on the continent and in the ocean.
Near the Extreme North, even human forces with Soul Douluo-level strength were considered behemoths.
Thus, in the Titan Snow Demon King's view, human soul masters were all weak, greedy, and arrogant.
Seeing the Titan Snow Demon King attack, Yun Yuan became even more delighted.
"That's right, big Titan, come chase me."
While using his soul power pressure to harass it, Yun Yuan retreated toward the inner region of the Extreme North.
Finally, upon reaching the inner region, he looked at the Titan Snow Demon King still chasing relentlessly.
Yun Yuan no longer concealed his aura. A terrifying soul power pressure erupted instantly, and his spiritual power directly enveloped an area of several thousand meters.
"Titan Snow Demon King, today, you are destined to become my soul ring."
As his words fell, Yun Yuan's soul power surged violently. The incomparably sharp Atlas Spear appeared from the void.
Immediately after, six soul rings rose from beneath his feet, spiraling upward. He raised his hand and grasped the incandescent Atlas Spear in his palm.
At this moment, Yun Yuan looked like a demonic god descended upon the world, exuding overwhelming pressure.
After witnessing Yun Yuan's strength, the Titan Snow Demon King grew more serious, but as a king, its pride prevented it from fleeing without a fight.
In the next moment, the Titan Snow Demon King slammed its fists against its chest and unleashed a sonic attack toward Yun Yuan.
"Tricks like this are useless," Yun Yuan said calmly, simply circulating his soul power and directly enduring the sonic attack.
Clearly, the attack caused him no harm. It only shattered a small corner of his white robe.
Seeing the attack fail, the Titan Snow Demon King roared again. Then it gathered soul power in both hands and fired two blue beams like meteors.
Where the beams passed, ice and snow instantly melted, shooting straight toward Yun Yuan.
"Decent attack, but that's all."
With a light shout, Yun Yuan swept his spear horizontally. A hazy, mysterious light flowed along the spear. The moment the blue beams encountered it, they were instantly dissolved, leaving no trace.
The Tribulation Technique was a move Yun Yuan had created over the past year. The Atlas Spear condensed mysterious light capable of diverting and neutralizing all soul power impacts, soul skill backlash, sinister curses, and domain erosion.
However, this move was only in its initial stage and still required refinement. In Yun Yuan's ultimate vision, he intended to perfect it into a technique that was impervious to all methods.
After blocking the Titan Snow Demon King, Yun Yuan began his counterattack. All six of his soul rings lit up.
Wind Thunder Flash, Endless War Spear, True Damage, Ultimate Sublimation, Dragon Hunt Destiny, and Weight as Heavy.
All six soul skill effects are activated simultaneously. Yun Yuan's aura surged dramatically, and Dragon Hunt Destiny officially locked onto the Titan Snow Demon King, reducing all its attributes by twenty percent.
"Atlas Spear Art, Pierce Technique, Edge Pierces Ten Thousand Peaks!"
In an instant, the tip of Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear condensed into a pure silver-white sharp radiance. Silent and without fluctuation, yet capable of piercing and destroying all things.
This was also a technique Yun Yuan had created over the past year, concentrating all force into a single point to achieve ultimate attack power and destructive force.
Not far away, the Titan Snow Demon King sensed the terrifying power of this strike and began to feel fear.
But it could also sense that Yun Yuan's attack had already locked onto it completely. This was a rule-level lock that it could not resist.
At this moment, the overwhelming sense of crisis surging through its body forced it to fight with all its might.
The Titan Snow Demon King unleashed all its abilities. Its innate domain, Ice and Snow World, spread out, forming an absolute-zero domain within a radius of 1,000 meters.
The ground was covered with a ten-meter-thick layer of ice, while ice crystals fell from the sky, slowing the target's soul power circulation and movement speed.
Immediately after, it leaped into the sky to a height of one hundred meters, diving down with gravitational acceleration. Its fists carried a destructive impact as they struck toward Yun Yuan.
As the Titan Snow Demon King executed its aerial suppression, veins bulged on Yun Yuan's arm. He swung the Atlas Spear, capable of shattering everything, and collided head-on with the Titan Snow Demon King with unmatched force.
