Chapter 8 Snow Empress Meets Jing Yuan! Longing!
"And seven hundred thousand years..."
A hint of apprehension flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, "At that level, even a level 99 Limit Douluo probably couldn't defeat her."
"Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor? What a magnificent place in the far north. No wonder it's ranked fifth on the power list. It's truly powerful."
At this moment, Bibi Dong had to admit that this ranking was well-deserved.
She even felt that ranking them fifth was a bit of an insult to these two dominant figures.
However, Qian Renxue shook her head, her golden eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"Bibi Dong, you're surprised too soon."
Bibi Dong suddenly turned her head, her majestic phoenix eyes widening in surprise.
"You mean..."
Qian Renxue gazed at the churning sky, her voice low and melancholic.
"Including the far north, among the top five that the Sky Curtain has not yet announced, the far north is only fifth."
"This means that there are two other powerful forces that we do not know about, ahead of the far north."
"This is just the weakest one."
"There are two more forces hidden here, and each of them is stronger than this far north region, which is home to ferocious beasts that have existed for seven hundred thousand years!"
"Hiss!"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but gasp.
How is that possible?
How could a power in the far north, possessing a super ferocious beast that has existed for 700,000 years, be ranked at the bottom?
Are there two even stronger ones?
This completely overturned her perception.
Bibi Dong never imagined that the continent she ruled would harbor such terrifying power.
Hu Liena felt her legs were a little weak, and she could barely stand by leaning against the crenellations of the city wall.
Is this still the Douluo Continent she knows?
Qian Renxue looked at the vast expanse of heaven and earth in the distance, her voice low and solemn.
"This Douluo Continent probably harbors a colossal crocodile!"
Bibi Dong exclaimed in disbelief, "A colossal crocodile?!"
What is a colossal crocodile?
That was a being capable of swallowing the entire Douluo Continent whole, a being that made everyone tremble.
If such a force truly exists, wouldn't the Spirit Empire's so-called hegemony become a joke?
...
The far north, at the heart of the ice plains.
The cold wind here is like a knife cutting through the air; even a single breath would freeze an ordinary person's lungs instantly.
But for the creatures here, it is the most comfortable breeding ground.
Two stunningly beautiful figures, one tall and one short, stood side by side.
The short girl, dressed in a long emerald green dress with her pigtails hanging playfully down her back, was none other than the Ice Emperor, one of the three great kings of the far north.
At this moment, she was pouting, looking quite dissatisfied.
"Only fifth?"
"I thought we could at least make it into the top three."
The Ice Emperor never expected that their proud northern lands would only rank fifth on the power list.
In her opinion, apart from that divine realm, who in this lower realm could be a match for Sister Xue?
However, when her gaze fell on the rewards section below the sky, her emerald green eyes instantly lit up.
"A 100% chance to transcend the tribulation? This is a great thing!"
The initial dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
Beside her, the Snow Emperor, dressed in a snow-white long dress, exuding a noble and aloof aura like a celestial maiden, also revealed a captivating smile on her exquisite face.
"Each of us has a 100% chance to overcome the tribulation, so we don't have to worry anymore."
For soul beasts, the heavenly tribulation is like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
Although the Snow Emperor possessed profound cultivation, she was still uncertain about the impending great calamity that would last for seven hundred thousand years.
With this reward, it's like having an extra life.
"Let's collect the reward first."
"It's snow," the Snow Emperor said softly.
As soon as the two thought, two golden beams of light descended from the sky and entered their bodies.
That warm and powerful force made the Ice Emperor almost groan out loud from the comfort.
A moment later, the golden light dissipated.
The Ice Emperor clenched her small, white fist, feeling the surging soul power within her.
"Soul power is tripled!"
"I feel full of power right now, and I could even fight you, Sister Xue!"
She raised her chin, looking eager to try.
The Snow Emperor looked at her with affection, and with a slight lift of her delicate hand, the surrounding wind and snow instantly submitted.
"You've become stronger, and so have I."
The Ice Emperor was taken aback, then scratched her head in frustration.
"That makes sense."
Sister Xue was already stronger than her, and even with the same increase in power, the gap is still there.
The Snow Emperor looked at the sky, her eyes revealing a tenderness and anticipation she had never shown before.
At that moment, the aloof and icy goddess seemed to melt into spring water.
"Actually, improving one's cultivation level is secondary."
"What makes me happiest is that by surviving this tribulation, we will have another 100,000 years of lifespan."
"In this way, I can stay with Jing Yuan for 100,000 years!"
Previously, she had been worried that if she failed to overcome the tribulation, she would never see that carefree and lazy man again.
That would be her biggest regret.
Now, the heavy weight on her heart has finally been lifted.
Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor couldn't help but roll her eyes, crossed her arms, and gave a haughty snort.
"Hmph, that guy always looks like he's half asleep, what's so great about him?"
"Who cares?"
Although she said that, a hint of anticipation flickered deep in her emerald green eyes.
That bad guy promised to take her to see a different world.
The Snow Emperor looked at her sister, who was saying one thing but meaning another, and smiled without saying a word.
Her long, straight, beautiful legs were faintly visible beneath the hem of her skirt, exuding a breathtaking allure and noble charm.
Just then.
Rumble—!
A deafening roar suddenly echoed in the sky above the far north.
The sound was so loud that it seemed to shatter even the ancient ice.
The two looked up at the same time, their beautiful faces showing shock.
As the clouds parted, an enormous bronze immortal ship, carrying the force of endless wind and thunder, slowly descended upon the icy plains of the far north.
It was such a majestic presence, like a moving divine mountain, blotting out the sky and the sun.
The familiar design, the familiar atmosphere.
The Snow Emperor's originally cold eyes were instantly filled with surprise, a kind of ecstatic joy at something lost and found.
"Jing Yuan!"
"He's back?!"
However, before the Snow Emperor could even take a step...
With a "whoosh" sound, there was a sound.
A green gust of wind swept up beside her.
The Ice Emperor, who had just been stubbornly insisting "who cares," had already transformed into a streak of light and rushed out without a care in the world.
It was so fast that it even left a trail of afterimages in the air.
"Hey, wait for me!"
The Snow Emperor looked at the lone figure leaving everyone else in the dust, shook her head helplessly, but a happy smile appeared on her lips. Then, she flashed and followed closely behind.
The enormous bronze celestial ship broke through the clouds, carrying an ancient and desolate aura, and slowly descended onto the far northern ice plains.
The air currents surged, churning up thousands of piles of snow.
The howling wind seemed to freeze at that moment, overwhelmed by the oppressive power of this behemoth.
The hatch opened slowly with a dull creak, and a tall, slender figure stepped out first.
