Chapter 34 - Cicada, Mantis and Oriole (2)

After waiting for about one hour Tang San with his Spiritual Sense was able to sense the Ice Bear King charging towards the Devil Titan Kings territory. Though he was happy he didn't show it out and kept a serious attitude, he knew that if there is even a small slip up on his side he would lose his life in this endeavor but if he is able to survive he would surely gain a lot of advantages later on.

He knew that to the normal cultivators who come to the Extreme North, they wouldn't know about the death of the three kings but the beasts in the Star Dou Forest was another matter altogether as they would surely sense that the three kings have died, but even they wouldn't be able to link their deaths to him.

He then sensed that the Ice Bear King had finally started its assault on the Ice Devil Titan King. Their fight went on for nearly seven days and seven nights before they stopped, Tang San didn't wait anymore and dashed towards the location of their fight. He didn't know if anyone of the two had died or not so him going there is a complete gamble right now.

After running for nearly five minutes he was able to reach that place and he saw that both the Kings were completely exhausted and injured due to their fight Tang San used his Golden Trident External Skull Bone and a trident-shaped crown formed on his head and it detached to form a trident. He threw the trident towards the Ice Devil Titan King, it pierced its heart and killed it in one shot, he used his Blue Silver Grass and pulled it out, the two beasts had no idea what just happened when one of them had suddenly died, the Ice Bear King who was still alive saw the thing which had killed the Ice Devil Titan King making its way towards him, he hurriedly used his Spirit Power and tried to form a barrier over his c_h_e_s_t but unfortunately the Trident wasn't aiming to its c_h_e_s_t but instead it shot straight towards its neck.

Its head was cleanly split from its body after the Trident passed through it. The only reason the two beasts had died so easily was due to the injuries they had sustained and they both had completely exhausted their energies completely which made them unable to even defend themselves.

This was truly a pitiful death to the two great kings of the North, death at the hands of a Spirit Ancestor. It was so fast that they weren't even able to notice their deaths. The barrier that he had placed prevented their auras from being detected, this was possible due to his spirit tool which was a barrier forming tool, he had made it during the time he was in the Ice-Fire Well.

It was a rank 7 tool and was only capable of blocking the aura to a certain extent but it was enough to block the trace of both the Kings. He had a limited time frame so he didn't waste any time and sat down and started absorbing both the Spirit Rings.

…

It took nearly an entire day before he was able to completely absorb the two rings, this was only possible because he had Daydream, Ice Empress, Snow Empress and Golden Empress helping him during the process. They didn't use the normal method of sealing the ring's power but instead, they only managed to keep the flow of energy smooth enough so that he wouldn't suffer from any soul shock.

He didn't check his status yet and started to take out their Spirit Bones, the Ice Bear King and the Ice Devil Titan King both gave out a Right Arm bone. It was true that spirit beasts which are 100,000 years or older would give out a spirit bone which the user doesn't have but no one had tried to kill two 100,000-year-old beasts at the same time hence resulting in such a situation.

He kept the bones inside his magical space and then took off the barrier tool, just as he did that he felt a strange sensation coming from a nearby mountain. He used his Spiritual Detection to find out what it was and saw that there was a temple of some sort. He knew that such a temple didn't exist when he had previously used his Spiritual Detection to check for and possible beasts nearby.

"Guys do you know anything about this temple??"

'As far as I knew, the Titans never had such a temple in their territory so this situation is strange even for all of us' (Daydream)

'I heard of a rumor that the Ice Devil Titan King had the blood of the Ice God within him, I don't know if the rumor is true or not but this temple should mostly be dedicated to the Ice God. All the beasts in the north without a doubt worship the Ice God so it isn't so strange that there would be a temple of the Ice God here' (Ice Empress)

"In that case, let's check it out, who knows we might find something interesting if we're lucky"

…

Tang San walked towards the temple, he didn't use his spirit power as he was still inside the Ice Devils Territory and they would surely not welcome a human in here so easily.

In the entrance he saw the statue of a huge woman made from ice, she had a beautiful face which was not any less beautiful than Renxue or Rongrong's but hers was much more m_a_t_u_r_e and had a cold feeling to it, not just because of the ice.

That was the only way of saying what he saw, it was literally a cave of ice, there was only one sculpture which was at the center of the cave. It was of the same woman who's statue was outside. When he had moved closer to the sculpture his Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Spirit had activated and all his Spirit Rings had come out in the open.

He had always made sure that his Spirit Rings were never out in the open, even if he had taken them out he would always ensure that their color and aura were restrained or at least close by to the Ideal Spirit Ring Configuration. But just when he stepped in front of the statue it was all exposed, no the correct term would be the had unconsciously reacted to this statue.

"What is this??"
