Tang God King's Fury

"Is this the soul ring of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion?" Wu Xuan carefully sensed the power brought by the soul bone and soul ring, delighted beyond measure.

"Little Wu Xuan, from today onward, you are the most gifted person Douluo Continent has seen in ten thousand years." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in extreme excitement.

As Wu Xuan got dressed, he smiled. "You've worked hard, Tian Meng. Is Ice Empress alright?"

"Hehe~ This Empress is fine! I just didn't expect you to withstand such an enormous amount of my energy. Little boy, This Empress is becoming more and more impressed with you." Ice Empress chuckled.

"Haha! You're already impressed with me now. Once you see my true strength later, won't I scare you to death?" Wu Xuan joked.

"By the way, Tian Meng, after fusing with Ice Empress's soul ring, I feel that both my Spiritual Power and physical qualities have undergone a qualitative leap. Can you tell what level I've reached?" Wu Xuan asked curiously.

"Mm! In this brother's judgment, you shouldn't be far from the tangible yet immaterial realm of Spiritual Power. Ordinary Soul Douluos are probably no match for you. Your physical qualities have definitely surpassed those of an ordinary Soul Emperor. Absorbing a soul ring under forty thousand years old should now be effortless for you." The more Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke, the more excited he became.

Wu Xuan smiled faintly. "It seems that once I return to Shrek Academy, I can apply to obtain my Fourth Soul Ring."

"Little Wu Xuan! Before leaving the Extreme North, could you help This Empress with a small favor?" Ice Empress suddenly transmitted her voice.

"Ice Empress, you're being too formal. Just tell me what it is. I'll definitely do my utmost to help you." Wu Xuan smiled.

Ice Empress beamed upon hearing this. "Before leaving the Extreme North, I want to see Snow Empress one more time and ask her to help look after my Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Oh, right, Little Wu Xuan, Snow Empress is the one ranked first among the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North."

"Alright! No problem. Lead the way!" Wu Xuan readily agreed. He and Ice Empress now shared both glory and ruin, and he did not believe she would deliberately harm him.

Two days later, Extreme North, Ice-Sealed Snow Mountain.

Not long after continuing deeper into the Core Zone of the Extreme North, streaks of dazzling deep-blue light flickered continuously in the night sky, changing shape and blooming with brilliant radiance.

If one ignored the extreme climate here, this would be nothing less than a beautiful earthly paradise.

"I never expected such scenery to exist on the continent." Wu Xuan's dark eyes glittered like stars as they reflected the aurora in the night sky.

"Of course! This is the most beautiful sight in the Extreme North." Ice Empress smiled.

"Icey, are you sure this is the place? Why can't I sense Snow Empress's aura at all?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked in surprise.

"Get lost! Don't call me that!" Frost covered Ice Empress's face as she kicked the approaching Tian Meng away. Turning to Wu Xuan, she spoke gently, "Little Wu Xuan, just wait here. I'll go take a look. Let my spiritual consciousness out!"

"Ah, oh. Alright, alright!" Wu Xuan had just recovered from Ice Empress's fierce display and hurriedly nodded. The next moment, a flash of jade light flew out of Wu Xuan's Sea of Consciousness and landed before him, transforming into a young girl.

"Ice Empress! This is the Innate Soul Skill of my Soul Breaking Spear martial soul, Gathering of Sharpness. You can use this soul skill to leave my Sea of Consciousness for three days, but if you cannot return within three days, your spiritual consciousness may collapse." Wu Xuan spoke seriously.

"What a miraculous soul skill." Ice Empress looked at her body with delight. She had originally thought that this trip would require her to consume her Spiritual Origin.

"Alright! This Empress will return in time." Ice Empress turned and left.

After watching Ice Empress leave, Wu Xuan lay back on a raised patch of ice. Recalling everything that had happened earlier, he smiled in relief. Fortunately, things had not reached the worst possible outcome. If he had truly needed to threaten Ice Empress to meet the final condition, he might not have dared to let her become his soul ring afterward.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared at Ice Empress's departing figure for a long while. Even after she had disappeared from sight, he was still looking in that direction.

"What? Do you like Ice Empress?" Wu Xuan teased.

"Ah, ah! No! How could you tell?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said awkwardly.

"How could I tell? It's obvious! You went to such lengths to get me to find her and help her survive her tribulation. Wasn't it because you like her?" Wu Xuan said calmly.

At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's gaze seemed much lonelier. He sighed. "Sigh! She's practically become an obsession for me. I can't say that I especially like her either. After all, she hunted me for so many years and made me suffer so miserably. This time, when I came to persuade her to join us, she beat me into this state too. Every time I think of it, my teeth itch with anger. But when I think about her perishing in the heavenly tribulation, I still can't bear it."

"Haha~! Your feelings really are complicated." Wu Xuan laughed.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh! Hmph, Little Wu Xuan! When you have someone you like, you'll understand how this brother feels." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm snorted.

Someone I like? Can someone as emotionally detached as me ever have someone I like? Wu Xuan smiled self-mockingly.

Seeing Wu Xuan's self-mocking smile, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm encouraged him, "It's too early to talk about love and romance. Ice Empress was this brother's obsession, but only a past obsession. Now this brother has a higher obsession and pursuit: helping you become a god and achieving immortality together with you."

"Become a god. Immortality!!" The self-mockery vanished from Wu Xuan's lips, and his gaze became incomparably resolute once more.

"."

Two days later, Ice Empress returned to Wu Xuan's side with a faintly sorrowful expression.

"How was it? Did you see Snow Empress?" Wu Xuan asked calmly.

"I did! Alright, let's go!" Ice Empress forced a smile as she answered. Then she transformed into a ball of jade light and entered Wu Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.

Wu Xuan saw the slight sorrow in Ice Empress's expression but had no intention of asking further. He set off toward the outskirts of the Extreme North.

After punching away Sky Dream Ice Silkworm when he tried to approach, Ice Empress could no longer hide the sorrow in her heart. She sighed. "Is the heavenly tribulation really that terrifying? Even someone as powerful as Snow Empress has been forced onto the path of rebuilding herself as a human. It seems I was right to gamble on following this human. I can no longer watch over Snow Empress. Having Xiao Han protect Snow Empress during her transformation should be enough."

God Realm!!

The gentle halo was like a mother's hand, lightly caressing the delicate skin of the clouds and mist. The illusory space possessed an exceptionally moving sense of substance. Vaguely, a majestic palace seemed to stand there, both illusory and real beneath the caress of that gentle halo.

A figure stood quietly amid the clouds and mist, gazing into the endless distance. At times, his brows were tightly furrowed; at others, he muttered softly.

The man wore a luxurious blue robe and appeared to be only in his twenties. As he pondered, his deep eyes gradually turned gloomy.

This man was none other than Tang San, the first-generation Sea God and Asura God, who called himself pure and unsullied—Tang Buddha Ancestor.

At this moment, Tang Buddha Ancestor's eyes were terrifyingly dark. "Damn it! Why has the fate of Douluo Continent changed so drastically lately? The rising star that originally had countless ties to the Tang Sect has now dimmed completely, utterly overshadowed by the light of another rising star. What exactly is the reason?"

"According to the previous plan, Xiao Qi has already come into contact with the rising star I calculated before. Why, then, have things slipped out of my control? Could the Child of Fortune born in accordance with destiny actually be replaced halfway through?"

"If the Child of Fortune cannot be controlled and used by me, wouldn't the effort I spent monitoring Douluo Star for ten thousand years be wasted? Wouldn't it ruin my ten-thousand-year plan to bring down Destruction?"

Tang Buddha Ancestor's expression became uncertain. "I want to see what kind of peerless talent could evade my eyes. No matter how talented he is, if he dares ruin my ten-thousand-year plan, this rising star has courted death!"

Divine power erupted around Tang Buddha Ancestor. A wisp of divine consciousness projected directly from the God Realm Central Hub into the lower realm of Douluo Star.

This really was not slandering Tang Buddha Ancestor. This was simply Buddha Ancestor's normal way of thinking.

Electrolux truly could not be kept. Buddha Ancestor was watching from above; keeping him would bring suffering.
