Ice Ridge Canyon, the cold wind like a ghost's cry carried blade-like ice crystals, shrieking between the jagged giant ice edges. Green light and shadow fell like lightning, Ice Empress, barefoot in a white dress, stood on the ice platform, the vigilance in the emerald eyes turned into a biting chill the moment she saw the three figures in front of her clearly.
Kraken is still wearing a gray robe, but behind him, like two abyss mountains descending out of thin air, two figures stand silently - Left Guard and Right Guard.
Their posture after Transformation has condensed most of their original characteristics, but the vast Soul Power and Ferocious Beast pressure that has been tempered by blood and fire for a long time and has just gone through five Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation baptisms is still like a real tide. Water is oppressing every inch of space in Gorge. It is not the vanity of entering the fifth Hundred-Thousand-Year for the first time, but a terrifying existence with deep roots and a breath as thick as an abyss! They just stood there, closing their eyes and saying nothing, as if half of the Far North wind and snow had been suppressed and frozen.
"What do you mean?" Ice Empress's voice was colder than ten thousand years of black ice. The cold air all over his body exploded, and a ferocious forest of ice thorns bloomed on the ice platform, pointing straight ahead. The two five Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast! This is by no means as simple as "just breaking through" as they knew before! What is their purpose here? Deterrence? Or...
Faced with Ice Empress's posture as if facing a formidable enemy and his monstrous murderous intent, Kraken seemed to be completely unaware of it, and even turned sideways with some "helplessness" and motioned to the two Ferocious Beast behind him who were like door gods:
"Ice Empress, don't get excited. Let me introduce you to Left Guard and Right Guard. They two... well, they are our deep sea seniors."
He paused, and under the cold gaze of Ice Empress, he added slowly, with a strange casual tone. "They came mainly... well, to protect me, a young queen with a shallow cultivation and only eighteen Ten-Thousand-Year After all, observing the Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation scene is quite risky for my small body. What if I get caught in the aftermath, or Ice Empress makes too much noise when you are going through the tribulation and doesn't care about me... Then wouldn't I suffer a big loss?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand seemingly casually, and the light flowed above his palm, slowly condensing three light balls of different colors, about the size of a fist, with energy so concentrated that the surrounding light was slightly distorted. One was as deep blue as an abyss, one was dark purple with hidden thunder, and one was gray and white.
"As for the 'workaround'," Kraken brought the topic back, as if introducing some inconspicuous gadget, "If we can't use external support Lightning Tribulation's formation, let's change our thinking, strengthen internal strength, replenish consumption, and stabilize the state."
He held the three light balls and introduced them in a calm tone, "Here, Energy Orb. A little gadget that I condensed and stored using a special method."
"Oh, by the way, the effect... the auras of these two don't look like they 'just' broke through five Hundred-Thousand-Year, right? Part of the reason is that it was the use of my Energy Orb that allowed them to last longer in Lightning Tribulation and recover faster."
His tone was understated, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but the information revealed in his words made Ice Empress's emerald eyes suddenly shrink!
"It doesn't feel like I just broke through"? After using Energy Orb, I "sustained longer, recovered faster, and had a solid foundation"?
What does this mean? It means that Left Guard and Right Guard have probably passed through five Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation! It's just that they have been hiding their strength before, or used some method to cover their aura! And Kraken's Energy Orb played a key role in it! This is by no means a temporary research, but an auxiliary method that has long been mature and has even been verified by five Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation!
No wonder... no wonder their auras are so dense and terrifying! No wonder Kraken dares to bring them to Far North! This is the true secret hidden in the deep sea! And he, an "eighteen Ten-Thousand-Year" Soul Beast actually controls Secret Art that can assist five Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast in overcoming the tribulation? How many secrets are hidden in the deep sea?
Kraken seemed to be showing weakness, but actually came with two hidden Ferocious Beasts and mysterious technology, which raised the alarm in Ice Empress's heart to its peak, but at the same time, an uncontrollable flame called "hope" also ignited in her cold heart again.
If... if this Energy Orb is as he said, it can work on five Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation... then the effect on her Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation may be better! Moreover, since the other party has shown some of his background, it is also a manifestation of "sincerity" to a certain extent - I have the ability to help you, and I also have the strength to prevent you from rashly acting.
Ice Empress's eyes were fixed on the three Energy Orb, and then slowly swept across the cold wind in the silent Left Guard Right Guard. Gorge, which seemed to have become stagnant due to this silent inspection and confrontation.
After a long time, the violent cold air around Ice Empress slowly subsided, and the ice-thorn forest quietly melted. She took a deep breath, and the extremely cold air calmed down her boiling thoughts.
"Price." She uttered two words, and her voice returned to coldness, but the determination in it was even worse than ice and snow. She no longer asked about the origin of Energy Orb, and she no longer questioned Left Guard Right Guard The true status of. Now that the other party has shown some of its trump cards, it is time to negotiate the price. For Snow Empress and Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year, she has no choice.
In the depths of Kraken's ice-blue eyes, an almost undetectable glimmer of light passed by with satisfaction. He turned his palm over, and the five heads of Ice Seal's five Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Soul Great White Shark reappeared.
"Absorb this first, and adjust your state to its true peak. After three months, in the land of tribulation, I will protect you and provide Energy Orb support." He said slowly, with a calm tone, "As for the 'price'... How about we discuss it in detail after you successfully survive the Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year tribulation? I think by then, there will be more things that you and I can talk about..."
He did not immediately put forward specific exchange conditions, but tied the "price" to "Ice Empress's successful breakthrough" and hinted at the possibility of deeper cooperation in the future. This not only put pressure on Ice Empress, but also gave her greater room for imagination and... a bond that she could not easily break away from.
Ice Empress looked at the five Demon Soul Great White Shark, then at Kraken's calm face, and finally nodded slowly.
"Okay."
The deal was concluded in a new form. The shadow of the deep sea not only brought technology to assist in overcoming the tribulation, but also quietly revealed its hidden fangs.
And Ice Empress's Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation will not only be a test for herself, but will also be a test to verify the effectiveness of the deep Sea God "Energy Orb" and determine the future of Far North A key battle in the relationship between and the deep sea. In Gorge, the cold wind whimpered, as if foreshadowing a storm of ice, snow and thunder that was about to sweep through the core of Far North.
