Douluo: Starting With Itadori Yuji Template
Inside the light cocoon, the Ice Empress was clearly stunned. She tilted her head and pricked up her ears, as if doubting whether she had just misheard.
Then, she laughed, laughed out of anger.
Fury rose in the Ice Empress's eyes, and her tone was full of disdain.
"Naturally evil human brat! Do you think such a threat can make this Empress yield?! This Empress has roamed the Extreme North for so many years and survived three Heavenly Tribulations without dying! Just based on this monster that is neither human nor ghost, it's worthy of—"
"First sentence."
Lin Xuan interrupted the Ice Empress in a calm tone, while simultaneously raising his hand and lightly clapping.
Clap.
The sound of the applause was crisp, exceptionally clear amidst the howling wind and snow.
The next moment, the three pairs of pale wings behind Mahoraga suddenly flapped, a violent wind rose, and within a hundred-meter radius, all the raging snow, pervasive ice crystals, and even the thick layers of snow accumulated on the ground were completely cleared and leveled in an instant!
Immediately after, Mahoraga's towering figure suddenly blurred, turning into a pale arc that shot straight into the sky.
The Ice Empress's wild laughter stopped abruptly. Inside the light cocoon, she stared fixedly in the direction Mahoraga had disappeared, an ominous feeling surfacing in her heart.
Time gradually passed in a deathly silent atmosphere.
One second—three seconds—ten seconds—
One minute later.
Rumble—!!!
A thunderous roar sounded within the leaden gray clouds; this loud noise was continuous, each time more intense than the last.
The clouds churned, and an ice-blue light could be seen flashing through them from time to time. Huge chunks of ice fell from the sky, smashing heavily onto the earth.
But these disturbances did not last long before stopping abruptly. Then, a large hole was broken in the distant clouds, and something could be seen falling from afar.
Another loud bang came, and the earth trembled.
Amidst the snow filling the sky, a giant pale figure stepped back.
It was Mahoraga.
And in its right hand, it was carrying a giant bird over eight meters long, its body covered in magnificent ice-blue feathers, but now the feathers were tattered, it was covered in blood, and its breath was faint!
Even though it was seriously injured and dying, the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from its body were still powerful enough to make one's heart palpitate.
Fifty-thousand-year cultivation, Extreme North Ice Bird!
This top-tier Soul Beast, which could be considered a local overlord in the Extreme North, was like a chick caught at random in Mahoraga's hands, not even lasting five minutes!
Mahoraga walked close and casually tossed the dying Extreme North Ice Bird onto the frozen ground, making a dull thud.
Then, like a most loyal statue, it stood quietly behind Lin Xuan, its pale wings slightly folded, the Dharma Wheel silent.
Through the light cocoon, the Ice Empress stared fixedly at the weak fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast on the ground, then looked at that silent pale demon god.
Shock, fury, horror, disbelief—various emotions churned and exploded in her heart!
"You—you evil lunatic! How dare you slaughter like this in the Extreme North! This Empress swears I will definitely—"
"Second sentence."
Lin Xuan's voice remained calm, he didn't even look at her, just cast his gaze towards Mahoraga and lightly tilted his chin.
Mahoraga understood his meaning.
It slowly turned around, its six wings slightly spreading, and looked towards the deeper parts of the Extreme North Core Area, as if it could already see the Ice Jade Scorpion clan living there.
Then Mahoraga took a step; one step, and the ground moved and the ice trembled.
"Stop!!!"
Inside the light cocoon, the Ice Empress could finally sit still no longer.
She was trapped here now! With the terrifying strength this monster had just displayed, even if the clan could barely resist by relying on numbers, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan would surely pay a price of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
There was even the danger of extinction!
The Ice Empress stared fixedly at Lin Xuan, her body trembling slightly with rage, and said through gritted teeth, "Stop!"
"What—what exactly do you want to talk to this Empress about?!"
"Speak plainly!!!"
"Congratulations, you said what I wanted to hear."
Lin Xuan clapped his hands, withdrew Mahoraga, and instead came before the Extreme North Ice Bird, then reached out his right hand to press on its scarred body.
Then something that shocked the Ice Empress happened. The Extreme North Ice Bird, which was clearly on the verge of death a second ago, instantly recovered from all its injuries in the next moment.
The restored Extreme North Ice Bird did not dare to think about retaliation; it hurriedly flapped its wings and fled the place in a panic.
Regardless, Lin Xuan had come this time to obtain the Ice Empress. Since he had already used military deterrence, it was best to show some sincerity in order to continue the talk.
"You—what ability did you just use?" the Ice Empress said in an astonished tone. She had lived for so long, and this was the first time she had seen such a terrifying healing ability.
Perhaps Brigitte could compare, but in terms of speed, it was far inferior.
"Just a small trick, not worth mentioning."
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in front of the Ice Empress and said indifferently, "Now, we can have a good talk."
"What exactly do you want to talk about?"
The Ice Empress's tone softened a bit. Firstly, Mahoraga's strength had intimidated her, and secondly, she could see that Lin Xuan had no ill intent.
Lin Xuan stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point, "I want you to become my Wisdom Spirit Ring, providing a Soul Ring, Soul skills, and Soul Bone while preserving your soul. You will become a Divinity with me in the future, and I will also reconstruct your physical body for you then."
"Wait—say that again, you want me to become a Divinity with you?" The Ice Empress was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but size up Lin Xuan again with a strange look in her eyes.
Are humans nowadays so—interesting when they talk? Becoming a god? What a joke?!
Lin Xuan didn't care about the Ice Empress's gaze, but he didn't speak either. At this time, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stood up very perceptively.
"Bingbing, just agree to Lin Xuan and me, okay? I can guarantee you that in the entire human World today, no! In the entire history of mankind, there is no genius with better talent and higher strength than Lin Xuan!"
The Ice Empress did not speak, she just stared at Lin Xuan with a suspicious look, seemingly doubting the truth of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words.
Seeing this, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, like a most fanatical fanboy, began to list Lin Xuan's terrifying achievements one by one.
Starting from killing the Ten Thousand Year Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger at the Soul Elder realm when he was eleven years old, all the way to finally subduing Mahoraga single-handedly.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke in great detail. Everything he knew, including the Malevolent Shrine Martial Soul, the Cursed Tool Heavenly Restriction Inverted Spear of Heaven, and the characteristics of all Shikigami, were told one by one.
Listening to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, the Ice Empress's expression gradually crumbled. She stared fixedly at Lin Xuan's face, as if trying to see through that skin to what kind of monster was hidden inside.
After all, any one of those achievements, if picked out, was extremely shocking.
Not to mention the Heavenly Restriction Inverted Spear of Heaven, Round Deer, Binding Vow, and Mahoraga—defying existences that had never appeared in the history of the Douluo Continent.
"Is what it said... all true?" the Ice Empress asked in disbelief.
"What do you think?" Lin Xuan asked back.
Now he didn't need to say much; Mahoraga would speak for itself. Before subduing Mahoraga, if you called me a Spirit Ancestor ant, I wouldn't hold it against you. After subduing Mahoraga, what should you call me?
"Not taking pressure" is a thing of the past; what's appearing now is "I don't eat beef!"
"Phew—"
The Ice Empress took a deep breath and calmed down on the surface, but a stormy sea had already risen in her heart.
It seemed that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's assessment of Lin Xuan was not a problem at all. The young man before her was the most terrifying existence in terms of talent among humans.
The Ice Empress's resolve wavered, not just because of Lin Xuan's talent, but also partly because she heard about Lin Xuan's uniqueness from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mouth.
The unprecedented Black Flash, the Binding Vow that ignored rules, the Heavenly Restriction Inverted Spear of Heaven that could be called a divine tool, and his attitude—
These all pointed to one possibility.
This kid has someone behind him, or more accurately, there should be a god.
Other than this possibility, the Ice Empress simply couldn't figure out how a Soul Master could be heaven-defying to this extent.
After thinking for a long time, finally, the Ice Empress suddenly let out a helpless chuckle.
She suddenly realized that she actually had no second choice at all.
Refuse Lin Xuan's invitation? Then what about the upcoming fourth 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation?
With her current accumulation, the probability of passing was minuscule, almost a certain death.
Since refusal was destined to be a dead end, why not take a gamble and seize this possibly unique chance of survival?
If even this human cannot become a god, then I'll accept it—with this thought, the Ice Empress finally made up her mind completely.
However, she was after all one of the Three Great Heavens roaming the Extreme North; even if she agreed, there were conditions! It was completely different from that big worm who offered himself up.
And she still remembered how this hateful human had just threatened her!
"Hmph—hateful human, listen well!"
"This Empress will tentatively believe your and Tianmeng's nonsense, and also admit that you... are indeed a bit special."
She paused, her tone becoming increasingly tsundere, "First, this Empress is not yielding to you, but merely cooperating with you, each taking what we need!"
"Second, if you become a god, you must fulfill your promise and help this Empress reconstruct her body and regain freedom! At that time, whether this Empress stays or leaves, you shall not interfere!"
"Third—" her tone became serious, "Do not, in any form, harm or enslave this Empress's clansmen! The Ice Jade Scorpion clan must remain safe and sound!
This is the bottom line!"
Lin Xuan quietly finished listening to the Ice Empress's three-point agreement and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he reached out his right hand towards the Ice Empress and smiled, "Then—welcome to the team, Ice Empress."
