Master of the Far North, Nirvana!

The sky over the Douluo Continent changed color.

Above the Far North, thick, purple-black clouds churned violently.

Thick bolts of lightning, like countless enraged dragons, darted frantically through the sea of clouds.

A deafening roar resounded across the heavens, and that world-destroying pressure, centered on the Far North, completely enveloped the entire continent.

The air was permeated with a suffocating sense of danger.

Ordinary soul beasts had long since prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to even draw a full breath.

In the deepest reaches of the Star Dou Forest.

Within a dim underground space, a pair of stunning eyes that had been closed for countless ages suddenly snapped open.

Gu Yuena had awakened.

She slowly sat up, her long silver hair cascading down her fair, jade-like back like a waterfall.

The crystalline dragon horns atop her head shimmered with a soft, moist luster in the gloom.

A form-fitting silver outfit outlined her incredibly proud figure to perfection.

Her slender legs were crossed, her skin as fair as snow, without a single flaw.

Yet, her breathtaking face was currently etched with deep astonishment.

Gu Yuena tilted her long, swan-like neck, her beautiful eyes piercing through the endless layers of earth to stare directly at the lightning in the sky.

Di Tian, who had been waiting by her side for a long time, immediately knelt on one knee upon seeing this.

"My Lord!"

"You have finally awakened!"

Di Tian's face was filled with great joy, his voice brimming with extreme excitement.

Gu Yuena paid him no mind, however, keeping her gaze fixed firmly on the direction of the Far North.

"A lightning tribulation?"

"Could it be that million-year soul beast hidden in the Far North?"

"That Ice Phoenix?"

She murmured to herself, her crisp voice laced with a heavy sense of worry.

The Far North had always been mysterious, but she had once sensed the aura of this Ice Phoenix from afar.

Such potential could truly be called peerless.

It was just that the scale of this heavenly tribulation was too great—so great that it exceeded the limits of what any soul beast could endure.

Gu Yuena did not know if this Ice Phoenix could successfully survive this ordeal.

Di Tian followed Gu Yuena's gaze, carefully scrutinizing the lightning in the sky.

"My Lord."

"That lightning is purple with a black tinge; it is the World-Extinguishing Purple Lightning, the strongest in heaven and earth."

"It descends specifically to erase those who defy the heavens and change their fate."

"I suspect this Ice Phoenix is in trouble; nine times out of ten, it will be reduced to ashes."

Di Tian's tone was certain; in his view, no soul beast could survive such heavenly might.

Hearing this, the worry in Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes deepened, and her willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly.

"The Ice Phoenix is very strong."

"His bloodline power is not inferior to that of the pure-blooded dragon race."

"If he were to fall just like this, it would truly be a massive loss for our soul beast clan."

She folded her hands gently over her chest, silently praying for the Ice Phoenix she had never met.

The core circle of the Far North.

The gale and blizzard were suppressed by the heavenly might.

Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor stood side by side atop the highest snow peak.

Snow Emperor wore a pristine white dress, her three thousand strands of snow-white hair dancing in the wind.

Her peerless, nation-toppling face exuded an innate nobility and ethereal grace.

Beneath her skirt, a pair of long, straight, jade-like legs were faintly visible, her figure full and graceful.

Beside her, Ice Emperor had a petite frame, her emerald-green twin tails looking quite playful.

Her fair skin was adorned with a few emerald-green crystals, exuding a vibrant, wild beauty.

At this moment, both of them were also looking up, staring intently at the lightning storm in the sky that was brewing to its limit.

Feeling that pressure striking directly at their souls, both women felt a deep, primal fear of the heavenly lightning in their hearts.

"Big Sister."

"The power of this lightning tribulation is terrifying."

"Who on earth could have triggered it?"

Ice Emperor swallowed hard, her small hand gripping Snow Emperor's sleeve tightly.

Snow Emperor took a deep breath, her ample chest rising and falling slightly.

"In this Far North, besides that one, who else could stir up such a spectacle?"

"It must be the million-year soul beast, Senior Ice Phoenix, undergoing his tribulation."

At the mention of that name, a complex emotion flickered in Snow Emperor's beautiful eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor's emerald-like eyes lit up instantly.

"So it was that old lecher... no, that legendary existence!"

"He will surely succeed!"

"After all, he is the Overlord of the Far North!"

Having said this, Ice Emperor pursed her lips.

As the core rulers of the Far North, this Ice Phoenix had often pushed the two women around.

Either he would have Snow Emperor groom his feathers, or he would have Ice Emperor go into the deep sea to catch ten-thousand-year Ice Marrow Fish for him.

If they showed the slightest disobedience, they would be met with a suppression of their bloodlines.

The two women both respected and feared him, with a hint of an indescribable intimacy mixed in.

Just as the two women were conversing.

BOOM!

The world suddenly lost its color.

The heavenly lightning descended.

A purple-black thunderbolt as thick as a mountain, carrying an aura of total destruction, smashed straight into the deepest part of the Far North.

Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor were instantly on edge, their breathing coming to a halt.

SCREE--!

A crisp and incredibly arrogant phoenix cry soared into the sky, directly tearing through the thunderous roar.

A massive, sky-covering phantom of an Ice Phoenix rose into the air from the abyss.

With a single spread of its phantom wings, it brought the force of a thousand-mile freeze.

The ice-blue feathers shimmered brilliantly under the lightning, exuding an unyielding dominance.

Even when facing that world-destroying heavenly lightning, the Ice Phoenix phantom held its head high, meeting it head-on.

Two extreme forces collided violently in mid-air.

Violent ripples of energy spread in all directions, leveling countless snow-capped peaks on the spot.

Following that, in the horrified gazes of Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor.

Under the continuous scouring of the thunder, the massive Ice Phoenix phantom began to crack, and then the fissures were infinitely magnified.

BANG!

The phantom shattered completely, turning into a sky full of ice crystals that drifted down from the horizon.

At the center where the heavenly lightning landed.

The original ice field had been smashed into a bottomless giant crater.

At the bottom of the crater, the surroundings were filled with scorched earth and the lingering remnants of lightning.

A naked baby was lying quietly at the bottom of the pit.

Xue Tianyu blinked his eyes and stretched his tender arms and legs.

As a million-year soul beast, the Ice Phoenix, he had just used that world-ending lightning tribulation to seal all of his heaven-defying cultivation within his body.

He had borrowed the might of the heavens to temper his body and transform into a human.

According to his perfect calculations, after this successful transformation, he should have been in the form of a six-year-old child.

He would have been able to immediately begin the path of martial soul awakening.

Unfortunately.

Those hypocrites in the God Realm had targeted him after all.

At the final moment when the lightning tribulation descended, they had forcibly increased the destructive power.

This caused him to suffer heavy injuries, and due to the excessive consumption of power within his body, he had ultimately regressed into an infant.

However.

Xue Tianyu's chubby little face was filled with joy, his lips curling into an unbridled grin.

"Still alive."

"Breaking and then establishing, it is nothing more than this."

"In this life, having recultivated into a human, even the entire God Realm shall not be able to hinder me by even half a step!"

Just then, movement came from above the deep pit.

From the perspective of Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, the phantom of the Ice Phoenix had just dissipated, leaving not even a trace of aura behind.

Naturally, they assumed that the Ice Phoenix senior had failed the transformation and perished.

A massive sense of loss surged into their hearts.

Ice Emperor's eyes turned slightly red, her small hands clenching into fists.
