Daddy, He's a Genius!

Thinking of the hulking fools in his own clan, then looking at Snow Empress's exquisite figure.

A Tai was depressed.

Of course, even if he had confessed with Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow back then, Snow Empress would still have rejected him.

For no other reason!

Rejected for being ugly!

Besides, their height difference was completely mismatched.

The Titan Snow Demon King stood a full hundred meters tall, while Snow Empress resembled a human woman and was only around 1.7 meters tall.

Snow Empress would have to be blind to fall for A Tai.

No, even if she were blind, she still would not go for him!

At the same time, Snow Empress's 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation!

Descended!

Time waited for no one. Snow Empress had already reached the point where her Heavenly Tribulation would descend, but she knew her preparations were insufficient to withstand it.

That was why she had chosen to rebuild herself into a human.

But now, she possessed Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, enough to increase an Ice Attribute soul beast's cultivation by a hundred thousand years.

Only then did she gain the confidence to survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang through the sky above the Far North as a bolt of heavenly lightning as thick as a water barrel crashed down.

At that moment, Snow Empress's figure appeared in midair.

"Soul beasts of the Far North's Core Circle, disperse!"

For a soul beast's Heavenly Tribulation, aside from the one undergoing it, every living being within its range...

With a wave of Snow Empress's hand, vast profound ice gathered in the heavens.

The 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation was simply too terrifying.

A Tai and Xiao Bai stood outside the range of the lightning tribulation. Watching the incomparably terrifying tribulation in the sky, their expressions changed.

Even merely watching such a lightning tribulation from the side was enough to feel its terror.

"Luckily, she has Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. She can contend against this terrifying 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation."

A Tai thought that if it were him, without the aid of a divine treasure, he certainly would have found it difficult to survive.

Thinking of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow Gu Yu had given him in his arms, he suddenly felt he should keep it hidden for now. If he failed to overcome that 100,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation someday, he could use it then.

"Daddy, thank you!"

Xiao Bai sincerely thanked Gu Yu. If not for him, Snow Empress would likely have long since returned her soul to heaven and earth.

That was indeed the truth. With Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow,

Snow Empress could now pass the tribulation with ease.

Even as the lightning tribulation's power rose wave after wave, it still could not erase Snow Empress.

Moreover, this was the Far North, where Snow Empress could unleash power beyond her own limits, even enough to battle Di Tian.

Snow Empress stood in the air, her blue hair like frost and fierce icy radiance swirling around her.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow turned into an ice-blue light screen in her palm, violently colliding with the Heavenly Tribulation's lightning.

With every bolt of lightning that fell, a layer of the ice screen shattered. Yet the power of the Profound Ice Marrow was inexhaustible, instantly forming a new barrier.

The seventh lightning tribulation transformed into a gigantic violet-gold dragon and plunged down. Snow Empress's gaze sharpened as she overlapped her hands and drew upon the Far North's ten-thousand-year chill. The glacier beneath her feet abruptly raised thousand-zhang Ice Prisms, colliding head-on with the Thunder Dragon.

"Emperor Cold Heaven: Snow Dance Shining Sun!"

"Emperor Palm: Great Cold Without Snow!"

"Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme Unparalleled!"

Emperor Sword, Emperor Palm, Emperor Cold Heaven.

They were Snow Empress's greatest techniques, comparable to Di Tian's comprehension of space.

No, they should have surpassed it by far.

After all, Snow Empress's own attribute was ice and snow!

As heaven and earth trembled, ice shards and electric light burst forth, while blinding white radiance swallowed everything.

A Tai and Xiao Bai were hurled several miles away by the shockwaves. When they raised their heads again, they saw that a fissure had been forcibly torn open at the center of the tribulation clouds.

Snow Empress had actually used profound ice as a sword to slash upward against the tribulation lightning!

The final Heavenly Tribulation gathered into a pitch-black vortex, but at the instant it descended, it was frozen by the Ultimate Ice gathered at Snow Empress's fingertips into an ice pillar reaching the sky.

With a soft cry, the ice pillar exploded into crystalline radiance that filled the sky, and the Tribulation Cloud scattered along with it.

The wind and snow of the Far North abruptly calmed. Rosy light pierced through the clouds and fell around her body as her 700,000-Year Cultivation completely stabilized.

A ferocious beast, a Heavenly Snow Woman, with 700,000 years of cultivation!

"Success!" Xiao Bai cheered as he rushed forward, only to see Snow Empress turn toward Gu Yu, who was still cultivating. A complicated trace flashed through her eyes. "This Profound Ice Marrow... in the end, I owe him for it."

Though the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave was not as useful to him as it was to Ice Attribute soul beasts,

it was still an incomparably precious Heavenly Treasure.

"And besides, at such a young age, he really isn't afraid of encountering bad soul beasts. If it were some heartless fellow instead, they might steal his treasure and kill him too."

Thinking of this, Snow Empress revealed a breathtaking smile.

"Xiao Bai!"

"A Tai, long time no see!"

As peace returned to heaven and earth, Snow Empress quietly stepped across the ice and snow toward the soul beasts.

"Snow Empress..."

A Tai appeared especially respectful. It was not merely respect for the Lord of the Far North, but also because Snow Empress possessed Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and held limitless prospects, perhaps even capable of attaining godhood.

Of course, A Tai could not have known that soul beasts could not become gods.

After all, no Million Year Soul Beast had ever appeared in the Far North.

In their eyes, as long as one survived the Million-Year Heavenly Tribulation, one could become a god.

Di Tian had accumulated power for hundreds of thousands of years, yet even he found it difficult to overcome the Million-Year Heavenly Tribulation.

The Million-Year Heavenly Tribulation was a fatal tribulation the Dragon God had set for soul beasts.

With Di Tian's accumulation, if he could become a god, he would instantly become a powerful First-Class God!

Even without reaching the level of twenty thousand years later, if soul beasts were permitted to become gods, Di Tian could now smoothly ascend to become a Second-Class God.

The Dragon God really screwed them over!

This was also why Gu Yu said he had started in hell mode.

Even if one rebuilt oneself into a human, would the gods of the God Realm acknowledge them and allow them to become a god?

No! They could not!

The gods could still see through the fact that you had once been a soul beast.

Once a soul beast, always a soul beast.

You had a record on file!

"What is he...?"

Even the disturbance caused by such a terrifying 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation could not wake him?

Xiao Bai hurriedly explained, "Mom, Daddy is a genius!"

"He fed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to the Ice Silkworm, then used it to cultivate. That way, I might soon be able to cultivate to three hundred thousand years!"

Daddy?

Snow Empress's pretty little face immediately fell.

What did that mean?

Such a tiny soul beast already had thoughts like that.

He truly had no ambition, yet looking at how he was cultivating so deeply he seemed possessed, she truly could not say those words aloud.

She could only brood over it in her heart.

"Xiao Bai is still the one who gives me peace of mind."

"Hehe..."

"Huh? You've already passed the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation?" Gu Yu also sensed the fluctuations from outside.

But he remained in cultivation because he had discovered that he seemed a little different.

It was not as though he was cultivating something from nothing; rather, it felt as though something had sealed him, and he needed to unseal himself layer by layer.

That was why his cultivation speed was so fast.

He had gone from a newly born Dragon Baby to possessing eight hundred years of cultivation.

Though he was still just some dragon by the roadside.

It still proved that he was no ordinary dragon.

"Don't tell me I'm the Golden Dragon King?"

"That should be impossible. I can't sense that violent aura of destruction."

Although Gu Yu suspected he might be the Dragon Slaying Blade, he had no way to confirm it. He could not exactly shout a transformation command and turn into the Dragon Slaying Blade, could he?

"So? Do you want to meet Di Tian?"
