Chapter 226 Lu Ming Makes His Move!
The far north.
The cold wind howled, and the snow fell heavily.
The temperature here is extremely low, water freezes instantly, and ordinary soul masters would be frozen into ice sculptures even if they approached the outer perimeter.
At this moment, however, the air in the core of the far north is unusually hot and dry.
In the sky, thick, leaden-gray clouds hung low, and within them rolled purplish-black lightning—an aura of destruction.
Rumble—
The muffled thunder sounded like the war drums of the gods; with each strike, the earth trembled.
At the summit of a massive iceberg stood a woman dressed in a white dress.
She was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow, and long, flowing white hair that danced wildly in the wind.
But at this moment, her stunningly beautiful face was filled with paleness and helplessness.
It was the Snow Emperor.
She looked at the terrifying lightning tribulation about to fall from above, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
This pressure is too strong.
He was so strong that she couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
"elder sister..."
Not far behind Xue Di, a bright green scorpion was lying.
Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Ice Emperor.
She had now transformed into a half-human form, with the upper body resembling a charming young girl, while the lower body remained a scorpion tail.
Hyotei's emerald green eyes were filled with tears of despair.
"How can this lightning tribulation be so strong?"
"This is not a 700,000-year lightning tribulation at all. This power... even the legendary million-year lightning tribulation is no more than this, right?"
Hyotei wanted to rush forward to help her sister, but the Heavenly Tribulation locked onto Yuki-tei's aura, and any outsider who approached would trigger an even more terrifying backlash.
She could only watch helplessly.
"Don't come any closer!"
Xue Di shouted sternly, her voice trembling but unusually firm.
"Bing'er, run! Get as far away as possible!"
"I'm not leaving! We'll die together!"
Hyotei cried out and tried to rush forward.
"go back!"
With a flick of her sleeve, the Snow Emperor sent a gentle, cold wind that propelled the Ice Emperor hundreds of meters away.
Just then.
Click!
A crisp sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The thunderclouds in the sky finally reached their peak.
A bolt of purplish-black lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck down towards the Snow Empress with earth-shattering force.
In that instant, the world lost its color.
The entire far north was bathed in a ghastly white light from the dazzling lightning.
Xue Di closed her eyes.
It can't be stopped.
Faced with this power, she felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Even with her nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, she was nothing but a joke in the face of this overwhelming heavenly might.
"It's over..."
Hyotei, far away, lay slumped on the ground, their faces ashen.
The far north, the core area.
The wind and snow seemed to stand still at that moment.
The purplish-black lightning bolt, powerful enough to destroy everything, hung in mid-air. Just as it was about to strike, the space in front of the Snow Emperor suddenly distorted.
Immediately afterwards, a tall, slender figure appeared out of thin air, without any warning, forcefully squeezing into this lightning tribulation domain filled with destructive aura.
That was a man.
He was dressed in a casual black outfit and had a tall, straight figure.
The most striking thing was the mask he was wearing.
The helmet is red with a large yellow smiley face printed in the center and two round ears on either side.
Happy Superman.
Under this desolate, desperate, and death-filled 700,000-year calamity, this whimsical and even somewhat comical mask seems completely out of place.
"Sister, be careful!"
Hyotei, who was slumped in the distance, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Humans!
How could humans suddenly appear in the core area of the far north?
And it happened at this critical juncture!
Hyotei has no affection for humans. In her eyes, humans are synonymous with greed and cunning, only coveting the soul rings and soul bones of soul beasts.
This guy suddenly appeared; he's definitely trying to take advantage of the chaos!
"You bastard! Stay away from my sister!"
Hyotei, drawing strength from who-knows-where, lashed out with its emerald green scorpion tail and charged forward, bracing itself against the oncoming attack.
Despite her severe injuries and fear of the heavenly tribulation, she would never allow any human to harm the Snow Empress.
"Bing'er! Stop!"
Xue Di's weak voice rang out, tinged with urgency.
She looked at the man with his back to her. Although he was wearing such a ridiculous mask, she remembered his aura.
Just now in that magical group chat in my mind's eye, the other person said, "I'm here."
"But sister, he is human..." Hyotei gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with ferocity.
"He came to save me," Xue Di interrupted Bing Di.
Save you?
Hyotei was stunned.
This is a celestial calamity that occurs every seven hundred thousand years!
Even a ruler of the far north like my sister couldn't withstand it, so what can a human do?
Are we going to our deaths?
Lu Ming ignored the irritable little scorpion behind him. He raised his head and looked at the thick bolt of lightning above his head through the eye holes of the "Happy Superman" mask.
"Is this the tribulation that occurs every seven hundred thousand years?"
Lu Ming muttered to himself.
The pressure was indeed impressive; if it were him in the past, he probably would have had to put in a lot of effort.
But now...
Since you've accepted the red envelope, you should handle things perfectly.
If you're going to show off in front of the group members, then you have to do it big.
"Snow Empress, is this what you have to face?"
Lu Ming turned around and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman behind him, dressed in a white dress and with a pale face.
Looking at the comical mask, Xue Di's initial tension inexplicably dissipated somewhat. She nodded and said, "I apologize for making the group leader laugh."
"Let's start a live stream."
Lu Ming said, "Those guys in the group are all waiting to see, especially that Bibi Dong. She's been very generous with the red envelopes. I need to show her how I do things."
Xue Di was taken aback, then realized what was happening.
With a thought, the live streaming function of the chat group was activated.
...
At the same time.
A scene popped up in the minds of all group members throughout the Douluo Continent.
[The Ice and Snow Maiden started a group live stream]
In the scene, snowflakes are falling heavily and purple lightning is rolling.
The man wearing the Happy Superman mask stood with his hands behind his back, facing the devastating thunder alone.
[Wanting a sweet romance]: Wow! It's Emperor Lu! That mask... is so cute!
[The cutest bunny]: Is this the tribulation of 700,000 years? I feel my legs going weak just looking at the screen... What the heck is that mask?!
[My cat is white and big]: Wearing this kind of mask at a time like this, that's typical of him.
[His Holiness the Pope]: Hmph, playing tricks. I'd like to see how he'll withstand this might of heaven and earth.
[I have no mother]: The energy fluctuations of this tribulation are probably several times that of a Limit Douluo.
There was a lot of discussion in the group.
In the scene, the purplish-black lightning bolt finally stopped waiting and crashed down with the power to tear everything apart!
"boom--!!!"
The ice sheet across the entire far north was trembling.
Hyotei closed its eyes in despair.
It's over.
That human is doomed, and so is my sister...
However, the expected explosion did not continue.
The wind stopped.
Lei fell silent.
