After the surge of spiritual energy subsided, the chilling current and the giant golden claw vanished without a trace.

A handsome figure appeared in front of Xia Qingwan, his eyes sharp, and his purple robe fluttering in the wind.

The handsome man gazed at the distant Ice Soul Snow Fox, his face cold and stern, and said indifferently:

"Dare to lay a hand on my second sister? Did you ask me, Xia Qi, first?"

"Heh, a mere mid-stage Soul Contract Realm cultivator, yet you speak with such arrogance."

"I thought you were some kind of powerful figure. Now that you royal rats who were hiding have all come out today, I'll take care of you all!"

The voice of Leng Ningshuang came from the Ice Soul Snow Fox, filled with disdain.

The Ice Soul Snow Fox's deep blue eyes gleamed with a cold light, and its snow-white tail swayed gently, stirring up a gust of cold wind.

Just then, Xia Qingwan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes and saw Luo Hua lying on the ground. A hint of anger flashed in her elegant eyes.

Then, gazing at the distant fox shadow, he said in a cool tone:

"I'd like to see how you deal with us!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Qingwan raised her slender finger and pointed it in the air.

Instantly, the surrounding air seemed to be affected by this point, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy spread outwards from Xia Qingwan. The spiritual seals that had disappeared in the void reappeared, intertwined and arranged.

As they intertwined, the spiritual seal shone brightly, its deep blue color intensifying, and a resounding dragon roar echoed across the sky.

A colossal water dragon roared forth from the array of spirit seals, its body coiling and twisting. It was composed of water-attribute spiritual energy transformed from the pure power of the spirit seals, radiating a chillingly powerful aura.

Seeing the long dragon of water vapor that was no less powerful than her own, Leng Ning Shuang's carefree gaze gradually turned serious. She knew that if this wasn't handled properly, she might really be doomed today.

The Ice Soul Snow Fox exhaled a stream of icy breath, and the surrounding temperature plummeted. Moisture in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals, which then drifted down.

The falling ice crystals gradually gathered in the mouth of the Snow Fox, and in a moment they condensed into a crystal-clear ice ball. The ice ball emitted a bone-chilling cold, and the surrounding air was frozen.

As the ice crystals continued to gather, the ice ball grew larger and larger, and the cold air it emitted became increasingly biting.

......

Bang bang bang

On the other side, in the vast mountains.

A spirit leopard, its body covered in scorching flames, traced an arc through the air, leaving trails of fiery energy in its wake. Finally, it crashed heavily into the mountainside.

With a deep, resounding crash, the powerful leopard's body slammed into the mountainside, causing rocks to crumble and dust to billow everywhere.

The intense heat emanating from the spirit leopard immediately dimmed, and finally, the enormous spirit leopard transformed into specks of spiritual light, dissipating into the sky.

A figure in tattered clothes suddenly appeared in the mountains.

Xia Shi clutched his chest, his face pale, staring at the two enormous figures high in the sky. Then he took a deep breath, his fiery lightning power surging, and charged forward without fear.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Seeing that he still wanted to pester her, Yan Ling snorted, and then the huge Flame Demon Lizard in the sky suddenly flicked its tail.

The tail, burning with raging flames, was like a giant fire whip, tearing through the sky and lashing towards Xia Shi with terrifying heat and immense power.

The collision between the two created a terrifying impact that caused the surrounding air to shatter.

"Haha, Yan Ling. I think you're getting worse with age. You can't even take down this kid I seriously injured in a short time. It seems I'll have to make a move."

A rough voice came from the mouth of a giant bear that was several dozen feet long. This giant bear was huge, and its whole body was covered with hard black fur, as if it were cast in steel. The fur shimmered with a dark luster under the sunlight.

These giant lizards and bears are the beast souls of Lei Zhentian and Yan Ling, ranked 290th and 295th respectively on the list of all beasts: the Thunderous Violent Bear and the Flaming Demon Lizard.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Thunderous Bear strode heavily, approaching Xia Shi step by step. The earth trembled under its trampling, and its claws, gleaming with a cold light, swept towards Xia Shi.

Seeing the fierce claw strike, Xia Shin's face immediately darkened. Just now, when he was fighting Yan Ling, he didn't expect that Lei Zhentian, who seemed rough on the surface, was actually extremely treacherous. He never confronted him head-on, but hid in the shadows looking for his weaknesses.

This led to him making a careless move, being ambushed and having his beast soul shattered.

At this moment, the Thunderous Bear's claw attack was already close at hand. Xia Shi had no time to think and could only mobilize the remaining power of fire and lightning within his body once again in an attempt to resist this fatal blow.

Boom boom boom

At that moment, a tremendous sound came from the sky. Suddenly, a massive, dark gray mountain descended from the sky, its surface covered in mottled patterns, exuding a heavy and ancient aura.

The Thunderous Bear's claws slammed into the giant mountain, producing a dull thud and causing the surrounding air to vibrate violently. However, the giant mountain remained unmoved, firmly blocking the Thunderous Bear's attack.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful recoil force erupted from the giant mountain. The recoil force was like a surging wave, instantly sending the Thunderous Bear flying backward.

The Thunderous Bear's massive body tumbled through the air before crashing heavily to the ground with a deafening roar. Several mountains were shattered in its impact, sending dust billowing into the air.

After blocking the claw, the gray mountain vanished, transforming into a massive rock tortoise. The tortoise carried a huge, heavy shell, dark gray in color, covered with hard, rock-like protrusions and mysterious patterns.

Rock-Armored Giant Turtle, ranked 278th on the list of all beasts!

After colliding and separating from the Fiery Demon Lizard, Xia Shi squinted at the suddenly appearing behemoth, his hands surging with fiery lightning power, revealing the doubt in his heart.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous. Entrusted by Young Friend Qin and Miss Xia, Lin Zhen from the Southern Region has come to lend a helping hand to the royal family."

Seeing Xia Shi's wary look, the rock-armored giant tortoise let out a hearty laugh.

"Southern Region, could it be Fourth Brother and Xiao Jiu?"

Xia Shi's heart skipped a beat, and the wariness in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by a hint of surprise. He looked at the enormous rock-armored tortoise, his voice tinged with urgency:

"Thank you for your help today, Senior Lin. I wonder if you could do me a favor? I humbly request that you send this Sumeru Ring to the pillar of light deep within the Ten Thousand Ren Mountain."

"And I will do everything in my power to stop those two."

Lin Zhen pondered for a moment, his gaze lingering on Xia Shi: "Crown Prince Xia's courage is commendable, but these two are not benevolent people. I'm afraid you alone will be powerless to help them."

Xia Shi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and his aura rose instead of falling: "Senior, rest assured, although I know that my strength may be inferior, I will do my best to buy you enough time, even if I have to use up my last bit of spiritual energy."

Seeing his resolute expression, Lin Zhen hesitated.

Just as he was hesitating, a gentle voice came from the horizon.

"Why don't you give me this Sumeru Ring so I can deliver it?"
