Chapter 471: A Contest of External Forces
Ten thousand meters away, watching the intertwining ice, snow, and endless lightning, the Ice Empress's gaze became somewhat dazed.
After a long while, she turned her head to look at Bi Ji beside her and asked, "Bi Ji, just how strong is this human?"
The Ice Empress was truly shocked.
She had never seen any being capable of fighting the Snow Empress to such an extent in the Extreme North.
"I don't know either."
Bi Ji shook her head in response to the Ice Empress's question.
"I only met him a short while ago. He hasn't revealed his full strength in front of me."
Bi Ji was very fortunate.
Luckily, she had been sensible at that time and had not forcibly resisted Yu Tianlin. Instead, she had chosen to cooperate.
Otherwise, judging by the strength Yu Tianlin was currently displaying, her subordinates would probably have suffered heavy losses.
Although she did not answer the Ice Empress's question, Bi Ji hesitated slightly when she saw the Ice Empress's anxious look, then said, "I don't know how strong Yu Tianlin is, but Ice Empress, you should prepare yourself mentally. I think the Snow Empress will most likely lose."
"The Snow Empress will lose? Impossible!"
The Ice Empress immediately retorted, "No matter how strong this human is, he will definitely not be the Snow Empress's opponent. The Snow Empress is invincible in the Extreme North. Unless a true Deity descends, it is impossible to defeat her!"
"But Yu Tianlin knows this too."
Bi Ji shook her head.
"He should also understand the strength the Snow Empress can exert in the Extreme North, yet he still came, and he seems very confident. Clearly, he has the assurance of defeating the Snow Empress."
Upon hearing Bi Ji's words, the Ice Empress's body instantly stiffened.
This human has the assurance?
Could it be that he can really defeat the Snow Empress?
While the two Spirit Beasts were conversing, Yu Tianlin and the Snow Empress, who had been in a stalemate, finally showed some changes.
What the Ice Empress said, that the Snow Empress was invincible in the Extreme North and could not be defeated unless a true Deity descended, was very true.
With the environmental boost, the Snow Empress could unleash strength infinitely close to that of a Deity. Even Di Tian was no match for her.
As strong as Yu Tianlin was, he could only contend with her equally.
And while unleashing such terrifying strength, the Snow Empress did not have to bear too much consumption. She possessed incredibly astonishing endurance.
In this case, without true Divine Rank strength, how could she be defeated?
If Yu Tianlin did not use special means and continued to remain in a stalemate with the Snow Empress like this, he would inevitably end up losing.
However, Yu Tianlin no longer wanted to continue the stalemate.
Having experienced the Snow Empress's three ultimate moves, and with Yu Tianlin now having a clear understanding of his own strength, there was not much point in continuing the fight like this.
It was better to end it directly.
Strange eight colored light emerged from Yu Tianlin's body, then slowly gathered toward the top of his head, finally condensing into an ancient eight colored dragon horn at the crown of his head.
With his Divine Rank mental force tearing through the Snow Empress's Snow Dance Shines Bright Domain and locking onto her, Yu Tianlin's lips curved into a smile.
Speaking of which, we have been fighting until now, and you have always been using the environment as an external force.
Now that I am using a Divine Artifact as an external force, that is naturally fine, right?
Don't blame me for not playing fair. After all, you did the same. It's just that the external force you used is not as strong as mine.
Thinking this, Yu Tianlin's mind stirred, and he activated the eight colored dragon horn on top of his head.
The eight colored dragon horn did not seem to carry any terrifying might, but when it flew out of Yu Tianlin's Thunder Domain and collided with the Snow Empress's Snow Dance Shines Bright Domain, it seemed to pass through without any obstruction, flying directly inside.
It was at this moment that the Snow Empress suddenly felt an extremely intense sense of death.
What's happening?
Am I going to die?
She had never left the Extreme North in her life, nor had she ever felt the sensation of death, not even during her Heavenly Tribulation.
So this feeling was very unfamiliar to the Snow Empress.
Although it was unfamiliar, the Snow Empress's reaction was not slow.
With a wave of her right hand, Ice Extremity Unrivaled was activated, and a beam of icy sword light shot toward the direction from which the feeling of death came.
The dazzling icy sword light struck directly onto the eight colored dragon horn, but it was useless.
The icy sword light was shattered by the impact of the eight colored dragon horn, and the eight colored dragon horn's flight speed did not slow down at all. In an instant, it reached the Snow Empress.
At the critical moment, the Snow Empress instinctively struck out with her left hand, activating Great Cold Without Snow and directly hitting the incoming eight colored dragon horn.
Great Cold Without Snow was the Snow Empress's strongest move.
Unfortunately, it still could not resist.
As the sharp end of the eight colored dragon horn pierced the Snow Empress's left palm, which was as white as jade, all the ice power gathered by Great Cold Without Snow dissipated in that instant.
The eight colored dragon horn directly pierced through the Snow Empress's palm, leaving a hole in her left hand.
And because Great Cold Without Snow required drawing all the power from the Domain, the Snow Empress's Snow Dance Shines Bright Domain could no longer withstand Yu Tianlin's Thunder Domain.
Endless lightning scattered the ice and snow, engulfing the Snow Empress.
However, the Snow Empress seemed oblivious to the Thunder Domain engulfing her. Her entire being was lost in a daze.
I actually lost.
And I lost in the Extreme North...
With Yu Tianlin using the eight colored dragon horn, the Snow Empress's instant defeat was entirely normal.
Among the three indicators, physical body, mental force, and energy, Yu Tianlin had already reached Divine Rank in two of them.
It could be said that his current strength was extremely close to Divine Rank.
In this situation, with the help of the eight colored dragon horn, a Divine Artifact, he could naturally break through the shackles and exert true Divine Rank strength.
And with Divine Rank strength, defeating the Snow Empress was not difficult.
"Snow Empress, how is it?"
While the Snow Empress was in a daze, Yu Tianlin slowly flew in front of her and spoke.
When killing Di Tian, Yu Tianlin's mental force had not yet reached Divine Rank, so he could not control the power of the eight colored dragon horn too well.
He could only barely ensure that he would not destroy Di Tian's Spirit Ring, but the Spirit Bone was still destroyed by the eight colored dragon horn.
However, now he possessed Divine Rank mental force and had also acquired Di Tian's Dragon God Claw skill, greatly enhancing his control over the eight colored dragon horn.
This allowed him to injure the Snow Empress without killing her.
Yu Tianlin's words finally brought the Snow Empress back to her senses.
Ice and snow gathered, attempting to repair the wound on her left palm, but they were blocked by the residual energy left by the eight colored dragon horn.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlin shook his head, retracted the eight colored dragon horn, and at the same time helped the Snow Empress clear the residual energy from her wound.
Wounds caused by a Divine Artifact were not so easy to recover from.
If Yu Tianlin had not intervened, the Snow Empress would likely have had to maintain that state for the rest of her life.
