Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

Several hundred-year-old icefield boars entered his stomach, broken down by the digestive energy in mere seconds, yet the energy provided caused Li Chang'an to frown secretly!

"Such thin energy... As expected, these lower-year soul beasts have very limited effect on my current improvement." Li Chang'an's nine snake heads scanned the shivering icefield wolves around him, his gaze finally settling on the millennium wolf king. One of his heads stretched out its neck, bit it directly, and swallowed it.

Throughout the entire process, the wolf king showed no signs of resistance, as if resigned to its fate. After all, the gap between them in terms of bloodline and cultivation was too great; resistance was futile.

After swallowing the millennium wolf king and completely digesting it, the energy gained was stronger than that of a century-old soul beast, but only slightly. There was no qualitative change.

Li Chang'an understood.

Now, soul beasts below ten thousand years have a very weak effect on his improvement. Unless he devours a large number of them, using quantity to make up for quality. But the time spent doing so is not worth the gains.

Instead of doing that, he might as well go directly to hunt ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

"However, it's not absolute. If it's a soul beast with a very high bloodline, such as a Titan Giant Ape or a Sky Blue Bull Python, then even if it's only a hundred years old, the purity of the energy it provides would probably be comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul beast," Li Chang'an thought.

Thus, he set the standard for his next hunting target.

Soul beasts with high bloodlines!

Or soul beasts with high year limits!

Soul beasts with both high bloodlines and high year limits are the best prey.

After determining his future hunting targets.

Li Chang'an twisted his massive body and left the area. As for the remaining icefield wolves, he chose to let them go. After all, these low-level soul beasts couldn't provide him with the energy needed for growth. There was no point in hunting them; he couldn't be bothered.

...

The Far North is vast.

An endless snow-covered plain, with occasional ice mountains and hills.

Li Chang'an didn't know how far he had walked, only that as he ventured deeper into the core area, the previously soft snow on the ground had now turned into thick, solid ice, and the ubiquitous chill became even more terrifying.

Ordinary people would probably freeze their moist breath into ice shards in the air with a single breath here, which shows how cold this place is.

Through half a month of exploration, he discovered that this Far North could be described as sparsely populated with beasts; the number of soul beasts was pitifully small compared to the Soul Beast Forest. Even ten-thousand-year soul beasts were rare in the outer areas, let alone those with high bloodlines. Out of necessity, he could only continue to delve deeper into the core.

"There's no doubt that I'm now in the core area. I can vaguely sense powerful auras in all directions; ten-thousand-year soul beasts are no longer as rare as they were in the outer areas."

"But while the prey has increased, so has the level of danger! With my cultivation roughly equivalent to a ten-thousand-year soul beast, I must be careful and cautious in this core area! If I'm caught by those powerful soul beasts, I'm done for," Li Chang'an thought to himself.

To be honest, if there weren't so few ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the outer area, he wouldn't have set foot in the core area when his cultivation was still low. Instead, he would have stayed in the outer area, developing silently, and wouldn't have come to the core until he reached one hundred thousand years.

Unfortunately, there were too few high-year soul beasts in the outer area; continuing to waste time there was pointless. He could only take the risk and enter the core area early to develop.

"In any case, let's find a soul beast to whet my appetite first!"

The nine-headed giant snake opened its senses, searching for the aura of prey.

Soon, his gaze locked onto a certain direction.

"Such a mellow aura... It must be a high-level bloodline soul beast!"

Following the direction of the aura, Li Chang'an couldn't wait to twist his snake body and start moving forward. At the same time, he didn't forget to try his best to restrain his aura, so as not to scare away the prey.

After some time.

Li Chang'an finally saw the true form of the prey.

It was a giant scorpion six meters long.

Unlike ordinary scorpions, the scorpion in front of him had an extremely graceful posture, with a slender body, smooth contours, and the proportions of its head, torso, pincers, and six limbs all reaching an extremely coordinated level. It was also condensed with diamond-like hexagonal cone-shaped crystals, refracting dazzling light in the sun!

But even more eye-catching was its sharply raised scorpion tail, whether it was the jagged joints or the ferocious tail hook, all presenting a magnificent and precious color like ice jade.

"This is an Ice Jade Scorpion!"

Li Chang'an's eyes lit up when he saw this. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a rare high-level soul beast so soon after entering the core area.

Among the soul beasts in the Far North, there are three most powerful soul beasts, known as the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

They are Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King!

Among them, the Ice Empress's race is the Ice Jade Scorpion. Because she is the strongest of the race, she is also honored as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, possessing a cultivation of nearly four hundred thousand years... Of course, this information refers to the Douluo II period ten thousand years later.

He didn't know how many years the Ice Empress of the current Douluo I period had. After all, that was something that would happen ten thousand years later.

"I wonder how much improvement this Ice Jade Scorpion can bring me." Li Chang'an's nine snake heads and eighteen eyes stared straight at the Ice Jade Scorpion, who was leisurely sunbathing, drooling with greed.

Judging from the black soul light emitted by the Ice Jade Scorpion's appearance, it can be determined that the year limit should be ten thousand years. As for how many tens of thousands of years, it is not known.

Anyway, Li Chang'an didn't feel the slightest threat from this ten-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion. From this, it can be known that the year limit should not be too high. It is definitely not a powerful soul beast that is close to one hundred thousand years old with more than ninety thousand years.

Since this is the case, then there is nothing to hesitate about.

Just go for it.

Same old routine, first release the aura of pressure!

"Zi!!!"

The ten-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion, who was originally leisurely sunbathing and resting, suddenly let out a high-frequency sharp whistle. In those yellow diamond-like scorpion eyes, there was even a human-like panic! Showing no low intelligence.

But thinking about it, it is normal. After all, the Ice Jade Scorpion is not only one of the three major races in the Far North, but also a soul beast with the ultimate ice attribute. It is definitely a top race among soul beasts, and it is normal to have a high level of intelligence at only ten thousand years.

And having a high level of intelligence also means that this Ice Jade Scorpion will not be frightened and slaughtered like ordinary soul beasts.

When faced with an opponent that cannot be defeated, the first reaction of any life form is - to run away!

This Ice Jade Scorpion is naturally no exception.

Directly swish.

Turned into a turquoise afterimage, fleeing frantically. Li Chang'an, who had just appeared, was stunned. Since awakening the Nine Infant bloodline, it was the first time he had seen a soul beast that could muster the courage to escape under his majesty.

And it escaped so decisively.

"Don't even think about running!"

Li Chang'an secretly said that he had miscalculated, and quickly twisted his snake body to chase after him. He would not let go of such a good prey.
