"Have you had enough?"
Tang Feng's expression was rather grim.
Anyone would be in a bad mood after being beaten senseless by Snow Empress inside the Platform of Deification for half a day without being able to hurt her.
After all, he wasn't the one who had captured Snow Empress. What did it have to do with him?
At most, the Platform of Deification had merely ended up in his hands.
"Human, you had better kill me."
Snow Empress's cold voice rang out.
At that moment, goose-feather snow drifted through every corner of the Platform of Deification. The extreme cold seemed capable of freezing even time and space.
Amid the endless ice and snow, a Fierce Beast with a cultivation of six hundred and ninety thousand years slowly emerged.
She had the appearance of a human, her snow-white hair cascading down her back all the way to her feet.
Her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as though they could see through everything in the world.
Her slender, delicate body was flawless. Though her white dress bore not the slightest decoration, it made her appear all the more pure and peerlessly beautiful.
Especially that meticulous, unsmiling expression of hers—like a plum blossom blooming in winter snow, standing apart from the rest, proud against frost and snow.
"Do you really think a Soul Elder like me came here to kill you?"
Tang Feng looked Snow Empress up and down.
He had to admit, Snow Empress was extraordinarily beautiful. Her cold and aloof aura gave her an especially immortal air.
If Xu Jiujiu was a rich flower of the mortal world, a noble and graceful Princess, then Snow Empress was an immortal cast down from the heavens, a fairy maiden from the moon palace.
As a Heavenly Snow Woman born of heaven and earth, she seemed like Nuwa's showpiece creation.
"Human, then what are you here for?"
Snow Empress frowned slightly.
Even though he was only a Soul Elder, she could not harm him in the slightest. That was what made him truly terrifying.
This person had obtained the Rank Nine Soul Tool, the Platform of Deification, from the hands of a Titled Douluo.
His status in the human world was likely far from ordinary.
"You need only Sacrifice yourself to me. From then on, your name will be erased from the Monument of Reincarnation, your form absent from the road to rebirth, while your true spirit is protected for eternity."
Tang Feng's expression remained indifferent.
To him, life and death were neither the beginning nor the end. Eternity was the true starting point.
One day in the future, he would break free from the shackles of the Divine Core and become a supreme existence.
"Just you, a Soul Elder?"
Snow Empress was stunned at first.
Then she actually shook her head with a laugh.
If immortality were truly so easy to attain, she would not have chosen to take human form in pursuit of that sliver of hope.
Yet in the end, she had been captured by humans and reduced to a prisoner at their mercy.
"My master is the Goddess of Life, one of the God Realm's most ancient Five Great God Kings."
Tang Feng directly revealed his backing.
When one was out in the world, Sect Foundation was very important.
Especially when Snow Empress was threatened by the Heavenly Tribulation and had already reached a life-or-death juncture.
"How will you prove it?"
Snow Empress calmed herself.
She had not sensed any divine aura from Tang Feng.
She had once searched for the Ice God's ruins in the Extreme North, and she had personally experienced the power that belonged to a god.
Although she did not know what power he had used to block her attacks, it was not Divine Power.
"I don't need to prove anything to you."
"If I leave, the Platform of Deification will be sold to the Sun Moon Empire, and you will eventually meet destruction."
Tang Feng spoke firmly.
Snow Empress had no way of foreseeing the future now.
Not to mention that his arrival had already changed Huo Yuhao's life trajectory.
Huo Yuhao would never encounter Ice Empress in the Extreme North again, much less have any chance of subduing Snow Empress.
"Then take it to the Sun Moon Empire."
"I will perish together with them all!"
Snow Empress was consumed by fury.
The Platform of Deification was a Rank Nine Soul Tool, so it had to be a creation of the Sun Moon Empire.
Though she did not know how it had fallen into Tang Feng's hands, he was probably not from the Sun Moon Empire.
"If you won't think for yourself, won't you at least think of Ice Empress?"
"Snow Empress, you wouldn't want Ice Empress to come to harm, would you?"
Tang Feng had her right where he wanted her.
With the Insight Weakness Trait, as long as he grasped Snow Empress's weak spot, he could make her yield one hundred percent of the time.
That was the supreme might of a Conceptual Trait. There was no need to reason with anyone.
"If I die, what will Bing'er do?"
"Bing'er's four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation is imminent. She probably won't survive this one."
Snow Empress muttered to herself.
She remained silent for a long while, unable to let go of Ice Empress, her sister of hundreds of thousands of years.
If what Tang Feng said was true—
If he was the Goddess of Life's disciple, then she and Ice Empress could both become gods together.
Just as Ten Thousand Years Ago, Tang San had brought the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape with him when he ascended to the God Realm.
On one side stood the pride of the Three Kings of the Extreme North and certain death. On the other stood an opportunity to become a god and the temptation of eternal life.
"I can agree to become your soul ring, but you must guarantee the same for Bing'er."
Snow Empress spoke resolutely.
With Tang Feng's strength as a Soul Elder, even if she Sacrificed herself now, he might not be able to endure it.
Unless Snow Empress voluntarily sealed her origin power. Yet she was currently in an embryonic state, making it equally difficult to control.
"Not only that, I want you as well."
"If I am a God's Inheritor, why must I choose you?"
"You possess the Extreme Ice attribute, while I possess Ultimate Life. No matter how I look at it, they don't match."
While Tang Feng had been getting beaten earlier,
he had already communicated with the Goddess of Life. Snow Empress could become his Second Martial Soul.
The Goddess of Life had even said that she could compress Snow Empress's origin power into two soul rings, each carrying two soul skills.
As for turning Snow Empress into a Soul Spirit, that was merely a trivial matter for the Goddess of Life.
"Xiao Feng, what exactly is going through that little head of yours at such a young age?"
The Goddess of Life found it rather strange.
The way this little fellow had threatened Snow Empress sounded exciting and quite lethal.
He was only eleven, yet he already had a considerate "big sister" by his side, and now he was about to gain another beautiful Fierce Beast.
Did every peerless genius on Douluo Continent develop a liking for soul beasts at a young age?
"Teacher, I need her to work for me!"
"I have to cultivate hard every day. If Snow Empress tries to fuse the Origin of Destruction into my Life Blue Silver Grass, it can greatly speed up the process."
Over the past five years,
Tang Feng had also been attempting the fusion.
However, the progress had been slow. The only noticeable result was that some purple patterns had appeared on the Life Blue Silver Grass.
If not for the Ultimate Healing Trait, the two Origin Powers would likely have tortured his martial soul into shattering long ago.
"You plan to use Extreme Ice to balance the Two Origin Powers?"
"That's not a bad idea. It's worth trying."
The Goddess of Life understood Tang Feng's intention.
This method was a new attempt Tang Feng had devised based on the principles of Tai Chi.
He intended to use Extreme Ice as a dividing line and catalyst between the two Origin Powers, bringing the three into relative balance before carrying out the final fusion.
Of course, if he could obtain a Trait of that sort, Tang Feng's progress would be completed in a single step.
"You... want... me?"
Snow Empress's eyes widened.
She looked at Tang Feng's height. He only reached her nose.
This little runt was already thinking about her at such a young age. Wouldn't he become a complete playboy when he grew up?
"I want you to help me fuse my powers."
Tang Feng gathered Life Origin in his right hand, while a thread of Origin of Destruction rested in his left.
It was like the small circles within a Tai Chi diagram: first using Life Origin to envelop destruction, then slowly allowing the two to restrain and generate one another.
"Two Divine Power Origins!"
Snow Empress sucked in a breath.
Only then did she sense the terrifying aura of the two Divine Power Origins, which surpassed even that of the Ice God.
So she had misunderstood.
Snow Empress had thought Tang Feng had taken a fancy to her and wanted her to become his little wife!
"As long as you can accept Bing'er, I am willing to Sacrifice myself to you."
Snow Empress agreed.
Since the other party had shown sufficient sincerity, she would not be someone who broke her word.
