Within Sea God Island Coral Family
Fluorescent Coral's soft light flowed on the gorgeous purple and blue skirt. Demon Empress listened to Kraken's report about Star Dou's trip. There was no surprise on her beautiful face, as if everything was expected. Her fingertips tapped the Coral Douluo armrest, making a crisp "tuk-tuk" sound, which echoed in the quiet room.
"It seems like this," Demon Empress's ethereal voice sounded, with the calmness of insight into the essence, "Your 'Lightning Guidance' method is based on a specific rare Soul Beast group. In the deep sea, because the environment is relatively closed and humans have not penetrated deeply, such groups still exist, so they can form formations. In the mainland Star Dou, they have long been hunted to death by humans Soul Master and are almost extinct. This method becomes a rootless tree and a castle in the air."
"Your Majesty is aware of this." Kraken bowed in response, with a faint glint in his ice-blue eyes, "It is true that your subordinates did not think carefully before. They only considered the method itself and did not delve into the existence of the 'materials' required for it in various places. After traveling on the star Douluo I, we found out that this method has a significant effect on Sea Soul Beast, but on land and extremely cold places Soul Beast, it is limited by resources and has little operability."
He paused and added, "However, Demon Eye Demon Tree King is very interested in 'Enlightenment Technique' and has accepted the method for verification. This technique does not rely on a specific Soul Beast and has less impact on the environment. It may be able to open up the situation in Star Dou."
Demon Empress nodded slightly, without comment. Her eyes seemed to Penetration past the walls of the quiet room and the endless sea water, and towards the eternal Ice Seal country in the north.
"Where is Far North? Ice Empress must have encountered the same problem." Her voice was very calm, but with a kind of understanding.
At the same time, Extreme North, Ice Empress Palace deep.
Ice Empress is sitting cross-legged in the center of the quiet room carved by Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice. Her long dark green hair is scattered on the ice, blending in with the surrounding coldness. Suspended in front of her is the record "Lightning-Guiding Array" detailed jade slip, with faint blue electric arc lines flickering on and off the surface. Emerald-like eyes stared closely at the complex array diagrams and Soul Beast requirements, but on the beautiful face, the brows were getting tighter and tighter.
Thunder-Pattern Electric Ray: Deep sea electric ray variant, with natural thunder patterns on its body surface, which can generate, guide, and deflect electric current. It requires five or more Ten-Thousand-Year cultivation levels, at least 3,000, and those with complete thunder patterns are the best...
Lightning-Attracting Jellyfish: The tentacles have a strong affinity for lightning energy and the ability to absorb and transform it. It requires cultivation of four Ten-Thousand-Year or above, at least 5,000 heads, the one with a transparent umbrella cover and long tentacles is preferred...
Line after line of requirements are like ice picks, piercing Ice Empress's heart.
She Divine Sense has already studied the contents of the jade slips many times, and she already knows the principles, steps, and energy nodes. In theory, this formation is exquisite and ingenious. It uses Soul Beast's nature to fight against the power of God. The idea is very strange. If it can be successfully arranged, it will be of great help to her upcoming Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation.
But, here's the problem.
Ice Empress slowly raised his head, and his green eyes looked at the only "window" in the quiet room that was firmly Ice Seal. Outside the window was the eternal howling wind and snow and the boundless paleness. Extreme North, the cold was harsh, and the life form was completely different from the deep sea and forest.
Ice Empress's thoughts are searching in his memory. Far North There is the Snow Maiden family that controls the wind and snow, there is the Ice Jade Scorpion that controls the ice, and there is the who is thick-skinned and powerful. Ice Bear, there are Frost Wolf who are as fast as the wind, Cold Python who hides underground... and there are even some more bizarre elemental beings such as Ice Spirit and Snow Demon.
But one who is good at thunder and lightning?
Far North... Where does the electrical property Soul Beast come from?
This cruel question was like the never-ending cold wind outside the Ice Empress Palace, blowing through her heart over and over again. Without a suitable and sufficient amount of lightning attribute Soul Beast, the core of this "Lightning-Guiding Array" is missing! Without living formation eyes, those formation lines, energy nodes, and energy-conducting materials are just dead objects. How can we fight against the power of Huanghuang Tianwei?
A strong sense of powerlessness and irritability surged into Ice Empress's heart again. The newly ignited hope was shattered by the cold wall of reality. Is there really no way out? Could it be that Snow Empress's seven Hundred-Thousand-Year catastrophes are really...
No! Can't give up!
The Ice Emperor clenched the jade slip tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the exertion. She recalled Kraken's last words, "... Maybe he can really be able to withstand one or even two of the most critical thunder catastrophes during the 700,000-year catastrophe for the Snow Emperor."
If... if you can't survive the Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year calamity and use this method to enhance your strength, then forget about it! You must find a way! Far North There is no suitable thunder and lightning Soul Beast, then... find a way elsewhere!
A flash of determination flashed in her green eyes. Deep sea! Kraken! Since they can come up with this method, they must have a mature and usable thunder and lightning Soul Beast group!
But as soon as this idea came up, Ice Empress remembered the "another condition" that Kraken mentioned seemingly casually, and the "chat" about Demon Soul Great White Shark's current situation. Trading with deep sea, there is no way It is suspected that they are seeking the skin of a tiger, and the price is unpredictable. Moreover, the Thunder and Lightning Soul Beast is not as important to the Deep Sea itself as Demon Soul Great White Shark. Will they be willing to provide it? Even if they are willing, what kind of sky-high price will they offer?
Ice Empress is caught in a deep contradiction and struggle. On one side is the safety of Snow Empress and the future of Far North, on the other side is the deep connection with the dangerous existence and the unknown price.
At this moment, in the corner of the quiet room, an inconspicuous communication talisman that looked like ice crystals shone slightly with a faint blue light. It was the "old method" of communicating with the deep sea.
Ice Empress focused his eyes, stretched out his hand, and the communication talisman fell into his palm. A faint but clear mental wave came from Kraken's calm voice:
"Ice Empress, the three-day period has arrived. Regarding 'Lightning-Guiding Array', Ice Empress must have studied it thoroughly. Far North The special environment However, the thunder and lightning Soul Beast is difficult to find, so it may be difficult to implement this method. I wonder what Ice Empress's plan is? If you have any questions or need... workarounds, maybe we can talk about it again."
Workaround?
Ice Empress's green eyes suddenly lit up! Sure enough! This cunning visitor from the deep sea had already anticipated Far North's predicament! What is his so-called "workaround"? Is it to provide lightning Soul Beast? Or... is there any other means?
Ice Empress took a deep breath, and the extremely cold air calmed her down. She knew that she might not have much choice.
"Come Ice Ridge Canyon." She replied briefly to the communication talisman with four words, and then crushed the talisman.
No matter what the road ahead is, she must go on for Snow Empress. This transaction with the deep sea seems to have just entered the core and most dangerous bargaining stage.
The feasibility of "Lightning-Guiding Array" in Far North will directly depend on what "price" she can pay, and how far the mysterious "workaround" Kraken can "work around".
