Chapter 18 The First Immortal Ship?! The Ice Emperor's Speculation!
Qian Renxue stretched out her hand, pointed to the ground beneath her feet, and then pointed to the endless void in the distance.
"This part is hidden even deeper."
"The number one on this power ranking is definitely the most deeply hidden and mysterious entity."
She paused, then said in an extremely solemn tone:
"That was a real, mysterious, colossal crocodile!"
Bibi Dong followed her train of thought and felt a chill run down her spine.
"A colossal crocodile..."
"This is simply too astonishing."
Bibi Dong imagined that possibility.
A force even more powerful than a half-step God-King has been silently watching the continent, watching them fight to the death.
It's like a giant watching a group of ants fight.
"Doesn't that mean... he might have been watching us all along?"
Bibi Dong's voice trembled slightly.
The feeling of being secretly watched without one's knowledge is torture for a pope with an extremely strong desire for control.
Qian Renxue nodded, her expression stern.
"Possibly."
"It's even possible that our every move is part of their calculations."
Bibi Dong suddenly looked around.
It was the familiar Jialing Pass, and her army was all around her.
But at this moment, she felt as if there were an invisible pair of eyes watching her from the air and behind the clouds.
Her scalp tingled, and she lowered her voice, but couldn't hide the terror in her tone:
"What exactly is he trying to do?"
They possess the power to sweep across the world, yet they have remained hidden and untapped.
Such ambitions must be immense.
Qian Renxue looked at the sky and sighed helplessly.
"No one knew until he showed his fangs."
All we can do is wait.
She pointed to the sky.
"Fortunately, this list will expose everything."
"The sky will tell us everything."
Bibi Dong stared intently at the sky, her purple eyes flashing with madness and unease.
She gripped the scepter tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
"Good."
"Let me, the Pope, see just what kind of force is hiding so deeply!"
"Whether they're gods or demons, as long as they dare to block my path..."
The murderous aura emanating from Bibi Dong vanished in an instant.
She is waiting.
People all over the continent are waiting.
Wait for the number one who stands above all others to unveil their mysterious veil.
...
In the far north, snow and wind swirl.
But when the snow fell into this quaint courtyard, it quietly melted away.
The courtyard was warm and cozy, like springtime.
A large purple bamboo rocking chair sits in the center of the courtyard, swaying gently in the breeze and making a rhythmic creaking sound.
Jing Yuan lay half-reclined on the rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed, his expression extremely languid.
He wore a loose robe, his white hair casually draped over the back of the chair, and he looked like a lion taking a nap in the afternoon, having restrained all his claws and majesty.
Behind him, a tall, beautiful woman was gently massaging his temples and neck with her jade-like hands.
That was the Snow Emperor.
This former ruler of the far north moved gently, her strength perfectly controlled, as if afraid of being even a little too heavy.
Beside Jing Yuan, another petite woman was carrying a jade plate.
Ice Emperor.
She was carefully peeling open a crystal-clear Snow Soul Fruit, picking off the skin with her fingertips, and bringing the plump, juicy flesh to Jing Yuan's lips.
"General, open your mouth."
Ice Emperor's voice had long lost its former cold arrogance, and instead revealed a sense of obedience.
Jing Yuan slightly opened his mouth, took the fruit into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and let out a satisfied sigh.
"This snow fruit tastes good, sweet but not cloying, with a refreshing coolness."
Jing Yuan commented casually.
A hint of joy appeared on Ice Emperor's face, and she quickly peeled another one.
Just then, the enormous golden light curtain in the sky changed once again.
The introductory text about the Star Dou Great Forest that originally occupied half the sky slowly faded away, and then new words reappeared.
Snow Emperor paused slightly in her movements, her icy blue eyes looking up at the sky, her pupils contracting slightly.
"Star Dou Great Forest?"
Snow Emperor's voice was filled with undisguised surprise.
As the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, she naturally knew the other soul beast settlements on the continent like the back of her hand.
"How is that possible?"
Ice Emperor nearly dropped the fruit she had just peeled. Her eyes widened as she stared at the rankings on the gold list.
"Star Dou Great Forest is only ranked second?"
"That place…is where that being exists."
Ice Emperor spoke urgently, clearly shocked by the result.
Snow Emperor frowned, her exquisitely beautiful face filled with confusion.
"Yes."
"My lord... Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, she is half of the Dragon God's body, she controls the power of the elements, and is the true ruler of all soul beasts."
"Even in ancient times, they were the supreme beings."
Snow Emperor lowered her head, looked at Jing Yuan who was still resting with his eyes closed, and said softly:
"Even with a half-step God King realm expert in charge, and a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King like Di Tian who has lived for over 800,000 years under his command, he can only be ranked second?"
"Just what kind of monster is the number one on this list?"
Jing Yuan didn't seem particularly interested in this earth-shattering news.
He shifted to a more comfortable position and said lazily:
"Second place is fine."
"In this world, there is always someone stronger than you, and there is always one mountain higher than another."
"There's nothing to be surprised about."
Snow Emperor shook her head helplessly.
This general's mindset is truly exceptional.
"Are they going to reveal the number one on the power rankings?"
Jing Yuan muttered something to himself without even lifting his eyelids.
"Yes, it will be soon."
Snow Emperor placed her fingers on Jing Yuan's shoulder again and gently massaged it.
"I wonder what kind of power is ranked number one on the power list?"
"It is actually stronger than the Star Dou Great Forest, the Spirit Empire, and even the Tang Sect that has the inheritance of the Sea God."
"Could it be that the legendary gods have descended to earth?"
Snow Emperor was very curious about this.
In her mind, a half-step God King was already the limit that Douluo Continent could accommodate.
If it were even stronger than that, she couldn't think of any other possibility besides the descent of a true god-king.
Suddenly, Ice Emperor had a flash of inspiration. She turned her head sharply, her emerald green eyes fixed on Jing Yuan.
"Jing Yuan, it can't be you, can it?"
She looked the languid man up and down.
Since the arrival of the immortal ship, the man's methods and profound abilities have always made the sisters' hearts pound with fear.
That unfathomable feeling was a hundred times stronger than when facing Di Tian.
But Ice Emperor quickly shook her head, denying this absurd conjecture.
"That's probably impossible."
"Although the Immortal Ship is powerful, I also know that you, General, are formidable."
"But the Silver Dragon King is a peak first-level god, or even a half-step god-king."
"Unless you are a God-King, Jing Yuan, or there is a true God-King on the Immortal Ship, it is impossible to suppress the Star Dou Great Forest."
