The Snow Emperor now possesses 830,000 years of cultivation.
Dongfang Jing suddenly remembered that his master, Biji, had said that the Beast God Ditian of the Star Dou Great Forest was currently absorbing the spiritual energy of a powerful but extremely weak Ice Silkworm Soul Beast and had fallen into a deep sleep.
But before it fell into slumber, the great calamity of eight hundred thousand years had yet to arrive...
Rumble!
Above the horizon, the rolling tribulation clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the lightning brewing within them was so large that it was visible to the naked eye.
Like Bi Ji before her, Xue Di and Bing Di were completely unprepared to deal with the tribulation lightning.
Dongfang Jing composed himself and gripped the two women's cool hands tightly.
He met their gazes and said earnestly, "Sister Xue'er, Sister Bing'er, hold on tight to me, I have a way to get you through this."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress did not hesitate or doubt in the slightest; instead, gentle smiles bloomed on their faces.
"Yes, we believe you."
The two men tightened their grip on Dongfang Jing's hand even more.
They had absolutely no worries because they believed their brother would take care of everything for them.
...
The Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor were quite relaxed.
But the other spirit beasts in the far north are having a much harder time.
On this day, they felt that the world was about to end.
Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked; the ground shook violently.
Upon closer inspection, a total of twenty-four terrifying tribulation lightning bolts descended from the sky, each carrying terrifying power.
After the lightning struck, twenty-four bottomless, scorched-black craters appeared on the terrain of the far north.
Although these potholes will gradually be filled by snowfall over time.
But on this day,
It still terrifies countless soul beasts, leaving an unforgettable impression.
Even Titan Snow Demon King Atai, who was deep within the core circle, and Ice Bear King Xiaobai, were startled by this aura of tribulation.
The glacial land beneath their feet trembled violently with each bolt of lightning that struck.
They were both puzzled.
Didn't Xue Di and Bing Di already leave?
Whose calamity was this earth-shattering catastrophe?
Could it be that besides the two of them, there are other ferocious beasts hiding in the far north?
...
a long time.
After all twenty-four massive bolts of lightning struck down, the heavy, oppressive clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.
The overcast, snowy weather typical of the far north has returned.
Buzzing—
A slight spatial fluctuation rippled across the ravaged snow-covered ground.
A large mirror flashing neon colors suddenly appeared on the snow.
Then, Dongfang Jing's head emerged from the mirror. He activated his eye soul bone and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
Looking up at the sky, after confirming that the tribulation clouds had truly dissipated completely, he pulled the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor out of the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
"call--"
Dongfang Jing breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just like when he helped Master Biji, he used the same trick again when faced with this earth-shattering tribulation lightning, constantly using mirror travel.
One in, one out.
They precisely timed their attacks to the fractions of a second before each bolt of lightning struck, thus surviving the crisis.
While this method is effective and fast, it also carries extremely high risks.
These are a full twenty-four lightning bolts!
Throughout the entire process, Dongfang Jing remained highly alert, daring not to be careless in the slightest.
His reaction had to be faster than lightning.
If they had been even a fraction slower, all three of them would have been blasted to ashes by that terrifying lightning.
Fortunately, Dongfang Jing has a naturally quick reflex.
In terms of speed, I've never seen anyone who can compare to him.
"Little brother, you are so amazing!"
Beside him, Hyotei excitedly gave a thumbs-up in praise.
This caused headaches for all the 100,000-year-old soul beasts. The heavenly tribulation, which was a matter of life and death, was easily resolved by the younger brother in a way that could be described as a joke!
"Yeah?"
Dongfang Jing turned her head, looked at Hyotei's excited face, and smiled as she spoke.
"Sister Bing'er, shouldn't you give me some reward?"
Upon hearing this, Hyotei's eyes darted around slyly, and he lightly licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.
"OK."
She stepped forward, approached Dongfang Jing, and breathed softly.
"How about I kiss your cheek, sister?"
"Um... never mind."
Dongfang Jing was just saying it casually, he didn't expect Sister Bing'er to pull this stunt.
He quickly released his grip on the two women's hands and subconsciously took a half-step back.
Hyotei raised an eyebrow, finding it amusing that teasing his shy younger brother and making him feel flustered was so entertaining!
Watching this scene from the sidelines, Xue Di smiled, her usually cold face revealing a hint of sympathy.
Dongfang Jing steered the conversation back on track, asking, "By the way, besides the increase in your cultivation level, have you experienced any other changes after consuming the Mirror Spring of Subtle Light?"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of them shook his head and the other nodded.
Hyotei shook her head. She didn't hide anything and explained, "I can control my soul power at will and change the form of my body. You saw it just now."
"Also, my skill, Ice Emperor's Protection, has changed."
"Apart from that, the biggest improvement is in cultivation level."
Hyotei's four ultimate techniques are Hyotei's Claw, Hyotei's Body Protection, Eternal Frozen Domain, and Hyotei's Wrath.
The Ice Emperor's Protection she mentioned is a defensive soul skill that can cover the body with a layer of ice crystals for defense, and this layer of ice crystals has extremely high defensive power.
Then, Hyotei demonstrated it once, and shouted out the name of the new move.
"Permafrost barrier!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of thick, tall ice rose from the ground with Hyotei's gesture of raising his hand.
This row of thick ice layers looks just like a real city wall!
Looking up, Dongfang Jing couldn't see the top!
Then, with a thought, the Ice Empress caused the icy city wall to collapse and reassemble once again around her, eventually forming a giant icy scorpion.
She herself was inside the Frost Scorpion.
It appears she can transform these ice crystals into any shape.
Hyotei's voice came from inside the ice scorpion.
"The defensive capabilities of the permafrost barrier are far superior to my previous Ice Emperor Protection."
"Even if your troublesome brother Tang Hao used all his strength to smash this, he couldn't budge it an inch."
"Believe it or not, even if Di Tian came, he would have to worry about my defenses."
With a wave of her hand, she turned the ice into specks of light and vanished, stepping out with confidence in her words.
Dongfang Jing scratched his head, not quite sure, but it seemed really cool!
'Has your cultivation level increased significantly, and your defensive soul skill evolved?'
Thinking this to himself, Dongfang Jing asked, "Sister Bing'er, are you dissatisfied with your previous strength? Also, is there someone or something you want to protect?"
Hyotei found this a bit strange. Why would they ask that?
