The Frozen Forest, located in the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, is a wild spirit beast forest perpetually covered in ice and snow. It is home to many ice-attribute spirit beasts.
Not many soul masters come here. Typically, only water-attribute and ice-attribute soul masters venture into this forest to find spirit beasts suitable for their spirit rings.
This time, in order to hunt a rare Mirror Beast, Chen Yuan, Chen Xin, and Dugu Bo arrived at the Frozen Forest after half a day of travel.
Chen Xin had once visited this forest to obtain his sixth spirit ring. Returning to this familiar place, he felt a sense of nostalgia. He then spoke solemnly:
"The Mirror Beast Yuan'er needs must be at least 80,000 years old. There's no need to search the middle or outer regions of the Frozen Forest. We'll head directly to the depths. Moreover, we must avoid making any noise. If we're discovered, all our efforts could be wasted."
Dugu Bo stroked his chin and said:
"You've already explained the characteristics of the Mirror Beast and how to deal with it. In short, once we encounter it, I'll immediately use a control spirit skill. The rest will be up to you."
At this point, Dugu Bo clicked his tongue and continued:
"My ninth spirit ring was only around 80,000 years. Now, Chen Yuan's sixth spirit ring requires a spirit beast of this level. His future achievements will likely rival the two peaks of the soul master world in the past."
Chen Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile. The two peaks of the soul master world, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, were not his goals to catch up to—they were his goals to surpass. His true aim was to become a god.
Chen Yuan then smiled and said:
"Master, Grandpa, shall we set off now?"
Chen Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said in a deep voice:
"Let's go. We'll head deep into the core of the Frozen Forest!"
With that, the three of them concealed their auras and quickly made their way into the heart of the Frozen Forest.
The Frozen Forest was already a place rarely visited by humans, and its core was close to the Extreme North, a true forbidden zone for humans. The Extreme North Plateau was not only an extremely harsh environment but also home to many powerful spirit beasts. It was no place for humans.

Half a day later, as they ventured deeper into the forest, the vegetation became increasingly sparse, replaced by snow-covered mountain ranges.
When they reached the core of the Frozen Forest, several towering ice-capped mountains, seemingly eternal and reaching tens of thousands of feet high, appeared before them.
It seemed that once they crossed these mountains, they would enter the human-forbidden zone of the Extreme North Plateau.
By now, the sky had darkened, but for them, day and night made no difference. With their spiritual power scanning the area, what they could see during the day, they could also see at night. What they couldn't see at night, they might not see during the day either.
In fact, at night, ice-attribute spirit beasts became more active, making it easier for them to locate their targets.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a series of rumbling sounds echoed from afar, catching the attention of Chen Xin and Dugu Bo.
After a moment of thought, Chen Xin made a decision:
"This might be a battle between spirit beasts. Let's go take a look, but don't expose ourselves."
With that, the three of them approached cautiously. However, instead of a battle between two spirit beasts, they found a single spirit beast ramming into an ice mountain—more precisely, into a crevice in the mountain.
After widening the crevice, the spirit beast lowered its head to lick the ice shards that had fallen to the ground. It was unclear what was so appealing about the ice shards, but the spirit beast seemed to enter a state of euphoria after consuming them.
The spirit beast was over eight meters long, nearly nine meters, with scales that were incredibly unique. Each scale resembled a small mirror, reflecting the surrounding environment.
Seeing this, Chen Xin's eyes lit up with excitement. Though he kept his voice low, his joy was evident:
"This is the Mirror Beast. Judging by its size, it must be over 85,000 years old, approaching 90,000 years. Yuan'er, your luck is incredible. On the very first day of venturing into the core of the Frozen Forest, we've found the perfect spirit beast for you."
Seeing the spirit beast, Chen Yuan recalled another matter. That most useless million-year spirit beast, the Heavenly Dream Iceworm, had accidentally fallen into an ice crevice and consumed endless amounts of Ten Thousand Year Cold Essence, instantly gaining hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. Later, it wandered out of the Extreme North and was captured by the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Forest, who continuously drained its life essence.
The Iceworm species wasn't a powerful spirit beast, and it made sense for them to live on the fringes of the Extreme North. The core of the Frozen Forest was also close to the edge of the Extreme North. Perhaps that Heavenly Dream Iceworm had consumed the Ten Thousand Year Cold Essence in these glaciers.
While the Heavenly Dream Iceworm had consumed the bulk of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Essence, this Mirror Beast was now licking the remnants of the cold essence, seemingly overjoyed.
It was likely thanks to these remnants that this Mirror Beast had reached nearly 90,000 years of cultivation.
At this moment, Dugu Bo no longer hesitated:
"Alright, I'll make the first move!"
With that, Dugu Bo leaped forward, instantly completing his martial soul fusion. Nine spirit rings rose one after another:
"Seventh Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphorus True Body!"
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Time Freeze!"
The over-ten-meter-long Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor exuded a pungent aura as it surged forward. Its head rippled with energy, and as the ripples spread, everything in the surrounding space was frozen, including the Mirror Beast.
At this moment, Chen Xin also acted instantly, summoning his martial soul. A Seven Kill Sword, different from the ones he had used before, appeared in his hand. This sword was a deep blue, resembling a crystal-carved blade, four feet three inches long, three inches wide, with a hilt one foot two inches long. It seemed that after breaking through to level 97, the Seven Kill Sword had also evolved.
"Seventh Spirit Skill, Seven Kill True Body!"
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Move Mountains and Fill Seas!"
A sword cry echoed through the air as terrifying energy surged and condensed, forming a massive energy sword that enveloped Chen Xin completely. With a thought, twelve enormous sword energies tore through space, slashing toward the Mirror Beast.
The Seven Kill Sword's offensive power was unparalleled. Under the force of Chen Xin's level 97 soul power, this attack essentially sealed the Mirror Beast's fate.
The sword energies struck its body, nearly tearing it apart. Blue blood splattered everywhere.
With its 90,000 years of cultivation, the Mirror Beast clung to its last breath. It turned its head, its eyes filled with hatred, glaring at Dugu Bo and Chen Xin.
Its innate energy erupted, attempting to repair its body. But at that moment, another Seven Kill Sword shot forward, piercing its eye and penetrating its brain, ending its life.
A spirit beast nearing 90,000 years of cultivation could not withstand the combined assault of two Title Douluos in a sneak attack. It perished here...
