Chapter 466: Revisiting the Extreme North
For Yu Tianlin, dealing with Bi Ji was not a major problem.
Given Bi Ji's own strength, even if all her subordinates were added in, she was still far from being Yu Tianlin's opponent. She clearly recognized this fact, so she was relatively cooperative with him.
After instructing her subordinates to keep a low profile during this time, Bi Ji left the Star Dou Great Forest with Yu Tianlin.
As a being whose cultivation surpassed two hundred thousand years, Bi Ji could freely switch between human and beast forms. Therefore, even though she was a Spirit Beast, entering the human world with Yu Tianlin did not cause any trouble.
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Tianlin immediately took Bi Ji north, heading for the Extreme North.
Since he needed the cooperation of several Vicious Beasts this time, the Extreme North was a place he had to visit.
Yu Tianlin had not forgotten that two Vicious Beasts resided in the Extreme North.
The Ice Empress was easy to deal with, but the Snow Empress might be slightly more troublesome.
After all, the Snow Empress was rumored to be invincible as long as she remained in the Extreme North. Even if Di Tian went to the Extreme North, he would not be the Snow Empress's opponent. Therefore, while Yu Tianlin could kill Di Tian, he might not necessarily be able to kill the Snow Empress.
Although he was very confident in his own strength, Yu Tianlin would not be blindly overconfident.
As for the final outcome, he would decide when he met the Snow Empress.
Traveling north rapidly with Bi Ji, they soon arrived at the Extreme North.
Feeling the howling cold winds here, Yu Tianlin could not help sighing with emotion.
Speaking of which, the last time he came here, he had been afraid of provoking the Snow Empress.
Now, not long after, he had returned, and his target was directly the Snow Empress herself.
Moreover, when he left here last time, he had needed to use all his strength just to defeat Spirit Hall's Sixth Consecrated Elder, Thousand Jun Douluo.
But this time, before coming here, he could already defeat Spirit Hall's High Priest, Qian Daoliu, relatively easily.
The numerous changes during this period all clearly demonstrated Yu Tianlin's increase in strength.
And it was an extremely terrifying increase.
Looking at the endless ice field, Bi Ji could not help saying, "The Extreme North is truly desolate. I don't know how the Spirit Beasts here manage to survive."
Bi Ji was currently in her human female form, with long emerald green hair casually draped behind her. She wore a thin, aqua green dress. Dressing like this in the harsh, cold environment of the Extreme North seemed very strange.
Originally, Bi Ji had thought Yu Tianlin was deceiving her, trying to trick her out of the Star Dou Great Forest to kill her and use her as a Spirit Ring for another human. She had only left the Star Dou Great Forest with Yu Tianlin because she was worried about the lives of her subordinates.
However, since they had headed straight for the Extreme North afterward, and none of the things Bi Ji worried about had occurred, she gradually relaxed.
"Although the environment in the Extreme North is much harsher than the Star Dou Great Forest, the Spirit Beasts here have their own way of surviving. Don't worry about it."
Yu Tianlin glanced at Bi Ji and said, "Let's go. We have two targets in the Extreme North this time."
After speaking, Yu Tianlin took the lead and headed toward the depths of the Extreme North.
"Two?"
Bi Ji quickly followed Yu Tianlin and asked curiously, "The Star Dou Great Forest only had me, but the Extreme North has two. Does that mean the Extreme North is stronger than the Star Dou Great Forest?"
During this time, Bi Ji had already figured out Yu Tianlin's goal.
He was looking for Vicious Beasts with cultivation above two hundred thousand years.
Therefore, she naturally understood what the "two" in Yu Tianlin's words represented.
"More or less."
Yu Tianlin did not elaborate on Bi Ji's comment.
In Yu Tianlin's view, if it were not for the blessing of the Auspicious Beast and the absorption of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's energy, the Star Dou Great Forest ten thousand years later would probably be similar to the Extreme North.
As he delved deeper into the Extreme North, he simultaneously probed with his Divine Rank mental force. Yu Tianlin soon sensed a familiar presence, and a smile involuntarily curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"The first target has been found."
Hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Bi Ji also felt a hint of anticipation.
What kind of Vicious Beast would the Extreme North possess?
The Extreme North currently had two Vicious Beasts, and the one Yu Tianlin found familiar was naturally the Ice Empress.
At this moment, the Ice Empress was not in a good mood.
For the Ice Empress, who had lived for several hundred thousand years, the events that happened a few years ago felt like they had occurred just yesterday.
A clansman who mastered the Ice Burst Technique and had boundless prospects had died tragically before her eyes.
This was not something she could forget quickly.
Not to mention, the injuries on her body constantly reminded her of it.
The Ice Empress's strength was roughly comparable to a human rank 97 Titled Douluo. A few years ago, Yu Tianlin's act of diverting trouble had caused her to face Gold Crocodile Douluo, whose Spirit Power had reached the peak of rank 98.
She was naturally no match for him.
When the clansman who mastered the Ice Burst Technique died tragically before her eyes, the Ice Empress was filled with boundless fury. In her rage, she recklessly fought Gold Crocodile Douluo head-on.
Although this helped Yu Tianlin stall Gold Crocodile Douluo, she herself inevitably sustained extremely severe injuries.
It was not easy for a powerful being to recover from severe injuries.
It would have been better with the Snow Empress's help, but the Snow Empress happened to be in secluded cultivation during this period. Because of this, the Ice Empress could only rely on herself to recover.
"None of those humans are good things!"
Feeling the injuries on her body recovering at an extremely slow pace, the Ice Empress angrily swung the two large claws in front of her, smashing the ice beneath her into pieces and exposing two large pits.
Only then did she manage to vent the frustration in her heart.
The Ice Empress now had over three hundred thousand years of cultivation.
What awaited her next was the four hundred thousand year bottleneck.
However, the Ice Empress originally did not have much confidence in overcoming the four hundred thousand year Heavenly Tribulation. Now, this severe injury would also affect her success rate when crossing the Heavenly Tribulation later, making her chances of passing the four hundred thousand year Heavenly Tribulation even slimmer.
If a Spirit Beast could not overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, there was only death.
Facing gradually approaching death, it was inevitable that the Ice Empress felt frustrated.
"I can only wait until the Snow Empress comes out of seclusion and ask her. If it's the Snow Empress, she will definitely have a solution."
The Ice Empress still trusted the Snow Empress's abilities very much.
Because there was a significant difference in their strengths, in the Ice Empress's eyes, the Snow Empress seemed omnipotent, easily solving many problems that the Ice Empress herself could not handle.
Just as the Ice Empress held this thought, a strange yet somewhat familiar teasing voice suddenly rang out in her ear.
"Oh, oh, oh, isn't this the Ice Empress? Haven't seen you in a few days. Why are you so weak?"
