With Wang Qiu'er by her side, Xue Di appeared in the air in a flash, facing Di Tian from afar.
When Di Tian saw Wang Qiu'er, a flicker of emotion flashed in his golden eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.
He said in an unfriendly tone, "Auspicious beast, come back with me."
Wang Qiu'er looked at Di Tian with a complicated expression, but finally shook her head: "Di Tian, I won't go back. I've made up my mind to stay by A Jing's side."
"A-Jing?" Di Tian frowned, then thought of the human boy who had kidnapped Bi Ji and the auspicious beast. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. "Just for a mere human? Don't forget who you are! Where is Bi Ji?"
"..."
Wang Qiu'er remained silent, clearly not wanting to reveal Bi Ji's whereabouts.
"Enough!"
A sense of irritability filled Di Tian's heart.
What kind of situation is this? They raised the mythical beast like a child, only for that child to turn around and fall in love with a human boy!
A powerful pressure instantly erupted from Di Tian's body, pressing down on Wang Qiu'er. "I don't have time to waste here with you! Today, you must come with me!"
Just then, Xue Di stepped forward and stood in front of Wang Qiu'er.
An equally terrifying, icy aura emanated from her, clashing head-on with Di Tian's dragon might.
"If you want to touch her, you'll have to ask me first," Xue Di's cold voice rang out.
She was mindful of Tian Dou City below and didn't want to affect the academy or innocent civilians. Her gaze swept over the city below before she called out to Di Tian.
"If we must fight, would you dare to change the location with me?"
After saying that, Xue Di grabbed Wang Qiu'er, and their figures transformed into a streak of ice-blue light, fleeing far away from the city.
Di Tian snorted coldly, his doubts about the Snow Emperor's identity and his stubbornness about the auspicious beast carrying him close behind.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Dugu Bo, and the others below were filled with surprise and doubt upon seeing this scene, and they quickly followed.
Ning Fengzhi turned his head and noticed Qian Renxue following behind. He quietly sized up the stunning woman and felt that she was no ordinary person.
...
Above the wilderness, far from any town.
Two figures faced each other from afar, their terrifying auras clashing in the air, causing the wind and clouds to change color.
The Snow Emperor had a cold and aloof expression, dressed in white that was even whiter than snow, like a fairy who did not eat the food of the mortal world.
Di Tian, dressed in a black robe, had golden eyes filled with domineering power and majesty, like an emperor reigning over the world.
"You... are you the Snow Maiden from the far north? Why? Why would you associate with a human boy?" Di Tian had already guessed the Snow Empress's identity and spoke first, his voice carrying a hint of questioning, "With your cultivation level, have you also been blinded by that human?"
The "human boy" he was referring to was naturally Dongfang Jing.
In his view, the human who could make both the auspicious beast and Bi Ji choose to follow him must have used some despicable means.
Xue Di's eyes were icy cold. Dongfang Jing was her precious treasure, yet he was being described as an evil and lewd man who could use some kind of hypnosis technique!
Even if it was Di Tian who said these words, Xue Di could not let it go lightly!
Too lazy to waste words with him, Xue Di responded directly with her actions.
The surrounding air instantly froze, and a heavy snowfall began.
Di Tian originally thought that Xue Di's strength would be weakened in places other than the far north.
Since he had just broken through 800,000 years of cultivation, he remained calm.
But when he sensed this aura, his expression suddenly changed.
"This power... is impossible!"
He gasped in shock, his golden dragon eyes filled with disbelief.
This power of ice and snow far surpasses even the ultimate ice!
The opponent's strength was several times greater than he had anticipated!
Before he could think it through, Xue Di had already made a move.
With a wave of her jade-like hand, the snow and ice instantly condensed into countless sharp ice swords, which shot towards Di Tian in a barrage.
"Hmph! A mere trick!"
Di Tian snorted coldly, and black energy swirled around him, forming an indestructible barrier that blocked all the ice swords.
The ice sword collided with the black energy, producing a series of ear-piercing roars, and the dissipated energy tore huge ravines into the ground below.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Dugu Bo, and others watching from afar were all terrified by what they saw.
"This...is this the battle between top-tier experts?" Ning Fengzhi muttered to himself, a layer of cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Hmm." Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, but also with solemnity. "The strength of any one of them is probably far above ours."
On the battlefield, ice and dark energy intertwine, and every collision is earth-shattering.
Within the Snow Empress's domain, empowered by the Extreme Cold Divine Realm, her attacks grew increasingly fierce. Under her control, ice and snow transformed into various forms of attacks: ice dragons, ice phoenixes, ice blades... appearing one after another.
However, Di Tian was able to resolve these minor issues one by one.
However, as the battle progressed, Di Tian's heart sank deeper and deeper.
He discovered that he was being suppressed!
Xue Di didn't use a single one of her signature techniques!
And this domain is truly domineering and boundless.
Di Tian was in the Extreme Cold Divine Realm, which was no different from being in the far north.
In this extreme environment, he had to contend with both the devastation of the wind and snow and the attacks of the Snow Emperor at his peak.
"You...you've also broken through the 800,000-year mark?"
While fending off Xue Di's attacks, Di Tian asked incredulously.
"I'm lucky; it's 830,000 years now, and I have a Yin-Yang complementary soul core," the Snow Empress said with a faint smile. "Di Tian, you can't possibly only have this much strength, can you?"
"hateful!"
Di Tian was burning with rage.
You forced me to do this!
Di Tian roared, and the black energy around his body suddenly surged.
In the sky, a jet-black dragon claw hovered in mid-air.
"Dragon God Claw!"
Di Tian's right hand transformed into a giant claw covered in black dragon scales, reaching out towards Xue Di.
The Dragon God's Claw, although it only borrows the power of the Dragon God, was left to Di Tian by the Dragon God.
It was with the power of the Dragon God's Claw that Di Tian was able to break through bottlenecks time and time again and become the God of Beasts.
This is not the power of a god, but it absolutely surpasses the level of a Limit Douluo—a demigod!
This claw seemed to tear through the void, carrying a world-destroying power that made Ning Fengzhi and the others watching from afar feel a sense of suffocation.
Everyone was on tenterhooks for Xue Di.
However, even in the face of this devastating blow, the Snow Emperor's face remained completely expressionless.
She simply watched the approaching black dragon claw silently, and slowly raised her right hand.
At her fingertips, a crystal-clear ice crystal quietly condensed.
"Imperial Law: Timely Burial with an Empty Coffin!"
Her clear, cool voice echoed throughout the world.
As soon as she finished speaking, the ice crystals at her fingertips suddenly shattered, and the energy instantly spread outwards.
Wherever it went, everything seemed to be paused.
The dragon's claw was frozen in mid-air.
Both Di Tian and himself were unable to move.
His eyes were filled with horror.
What kind of power is this?!
It can even freeze the power of a demigod?!
Just then, Wang Qiu'er's voice appeared in the minds of the two people in the midst of the battle.
She looked at Di Tian, who was frozen in place, and said with a complicated expression, "Di Tian, let it go. We are all soul beasts, why kill each other?"
"Ah Jing is very kind to us, and Sister Xue'er is protecting us. We are very happy here. This is something I never felt in the forest before."
Upon hearing Wang Qiu'er's words, Di Tian's resentment and anger were gradually replaced by a sense of powerlessness.
Seeing this, Xue Di also withdrew her power.
Time and space resumed their flow.
The frozen dragon claw then vanished.
Di Tian looked deeply at Xue Di, then at Wang Qiu'er, his heart filled with doubts and resentment, which finally turned into a sigh.
Where is Brigitte?
"Accompany Ah Jing through the divine test."
"The Divine Test? Has it already reached this stage...?"
"Sigh..." Di Tian muttered to himself forlornly, then glanced at Xue Di one last time, "Snow Maiden, I'm entrusting the care of the auspicious beast to you."
...
Di Tian is gone.
On the desolate wasteland, only a ravaged battlefield and a group of people whose understanding had been completely overturned remained.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, along with the Snake Spear, the Porcupine Douluo, and Qian Renxue, who were hiding in the shadows, were all unable to recover for a long time. The impact on them was simply too great.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, had already left the place after the battle ended.
A tremendous storm was raging in her heart as well.
She believed she had a clear understanding of the world's top combat forces.
Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, was at the very top of the pyramid in this world.
But today, she witnessed the battle between the Snow Emperor and the Emperor Heaven!
What would happen if they faced off against their own grandfather?
"Snake spear," she said coldly into the shadows.
"Return to Wuhun City immediately and tell the High Priest everything that just happened. Be sure to provide a detailed account."
"Yes, young master!"
