The Golden Ranking's Thirteenth Reveal! The Far North!

"The wind there seems so free."

"Don't you want to go see it?"

Ice Jade Empress Scorpion blinked twice.

Although she was usually hot-tempered, she had always obeyed Snow Empress without question.

"Since Big Sister has said so."

"Then let's go take a look."

"I've been in this Far North for hundreds of thousands of years anyway, I'm sick of it."

"If that Wind God is a fraud, we'll just join forces and tear his Godwind City to the ground!"

They acted as soon as they decided.

The two great heavenly kings didn't hesitate at all.

Their figures flashed, turning into two streams of light that pierced through the snow-filled sky and sped toward the south.

The moment they left the glacier, the image on the Sky Curtain changed once again.

The golden scroll slowly unfurled.

It dispersed the nimble wind that had previously belonged to Bai Chenxiang.

A chill.

Even through the screen, Soul Masters across the entire Douluo Continent felt a bone-piercing cold.

It wasn't killing intent.

It was pure, low temperature.

Even the clouds surrounding the Sky Curtain seemed to be freezing under this icy aura.

New text emerged amidst the gaze of the masses.

[Rank 13]

Outside Godwind City.

Tang San and his group, who were currently pressing down with a large army, suddenly shivered.

"So cold..."

Ma Hongjun rubbed his arms and exhaled a puff of white mist.

"Why did the temperature drop so suddenly?"

Before anyone could react, a scorpion, entirely emerald green and carved as if from the finest jade, slowly appeared on the Sky Curtain.

It was not large.

But those pincers shimmered with a cold light capable of severing the void.

Especially that long tail hook.

It radiated a heart-stopping emerald luster.

It merely lay there, and fine ice crystals began to appear in the surrounding space.

Immediately after, the name that made all living beings in the Far North tremble appeared on the list.

On the Sky Curtain, the golden ancient seal characters slowly solidified.

Soul Masters across the entire continent, whether they were Titled Douluo or rookies who had just awakened, held their breath at this moment.

Below the name ranked thirteenth, more detailed information flowed down like a waterfall.

[Race: Ice Jade Empress Scorpion]

[Possessor of Ultimate Ice, one of the monarchs of the Far North Ice Plains]

[Cultivation: 399,900 years (bottleneck period)]

[Evaluation: Born in extreme cold, master of slaughter. Although it has not reached the 400,000-year threshold, its combat power is enough to shake a level 97 peak human Douluo. If fighting in the Far North, it cannot be defeated by anyone below a Limit Douluo.]

Hiss—

Countless gasps of cold air echoed in every corner of the Douluo Continent.

Cannot be defeated by anyone below a Limit Douluo?

One had to know that there were only two or three level 99 Limit Douluo on the entire continent's surface.

This wasn't just a scorpion; it was a walking natural disaster!

However, what truly drove all Soul Beast, especially those high-level fierce beasts clinging to life, into a frenzy was the next line of golden characters.

It represented the Heavenly Dao, or rather, the reward bestowed by that Wind God Barbatos.

[Ranking Rewards]

[1. Bloodline Purification: Evolve into a "Heavenly Snow Woman" companion holy spirit, obtain the embryonic form of the Ice God Bloodline.]

[2. Heavenly Tribulation Exemption: Exempt from the 400,000-year, 500,000-year, and 600,000-year lightning tribulations; cultivation base breaks through directly to 400,000 years!]

BOOM!

At this moment, it was not just the Far North.

In the core area of the Star Dou Forest.

The sleeping Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena suddenly snapped her eyes open, a rare ripple of emotion flashing through her purple pupils.

Di Tian surged directly out of the Black Dragon Pool, his massive dragon eyes locked onto the Sky Curtain, his breathing ragged to the extreme.

"Exemption from lightning tribulations..."

Di Tian's voice was like muffled thunder, laced with intense envy and even a hint of jealousy.

For a Soul Beast, cultivation is an act against the heavens.

The lightning tribulation that occurs every 100,000 years is a Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

How many brilliant and talented fierce beasts have ultimately turned into Ashes of Tribulation?

But now.

That Wind God had actually gifted three death-immunity tokens so nonchalantly?

What a magnificent display of power!

What an incredible authority!

High above the sky outside Godwind City.

Two streaks of light were speeding southward.

"Sister! Look! Look!"

Ice Empress's usually haughty little face was flushed red with extreme excitement.

She pointed at the Sky Curtain, her grip on Snow Empress's hand tightening with force.

"Exemption from lightning tribulations! Three times!"

"This Empress no longer needs to fear that damned Heaven!"

"I feel my whole body heating up, the bottleneck... my bottleneck has loosened!"

As the golden light of the Sky Curtain shone down, the emerald green radiance on Ice Empress's body grew increasingly brilliant.

Her cultivation, previously stuck at the peak of 390,000 years, silently crossed that threshold without a single thundercloud gathering.

400,000 years!

A terrifying chill erupted from her petite body, instantly freezing the rapidly receding clouds into ice crystals.

Snow Empress's face, usually cold and stunningly beautiful, finally revealed a touch of emotion.

Watching her sister cheering and jumping for joy, the last shred of worry in her heart vanished.

"It seems our choice was correct."

Snow Empress said softly.

"This Wind God possesses rules that far exceed our understanding."

"To be able to modify the rules of Heavenly Tribulation at will—this is already a method at the level of a God King."

Ice Empress waved her small fists excitedly, her twin tails dancing wildly in the wind.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Sister, let's speed up!"

"I want to go see this Venti!"

"If he looks pleasing to the eye, this Empress wouldn't mind considering becoming his enforcer!"

Having received such a massive benefit, Ice Empress was not a scorpion who would fail to repay a kindness.

Her original intent to test him had now transformed into an urgent curiosity.

The two no longer held back their strength.

The two great kings of the Far North traveled at full speed, reaching their absolute limit and leaving two long trails of ice and snow in the sky.

Godwind City, the back garden of the City Lord Mansion.

Venti was sitting on the branch of a massive Apple Tree, gently swaying a wine bottle he had produced from who knows where.

A breeze brushed against his cheeks, stirring the gradient-colored hair at his temples.

"Hmm..."

Venti suddenly stopped mid-drink, tilting his head slightly to gaze at the northern sky.

His emerald eyes reflected the shadows of drifting clouds.

"What a chilly breeze."

He chuckled, his tone light and airy.

"It seems a guest from afar has arrived."

"Carrying the scent of ice and snow, and... hmm, an urge to pick a fight?"

Venti hopped down from the tree with effortless grace, landing without a sound.

He looked toward Bai Chenxiang, who was nearby, busy adapting to her new martial soul.

At this moment, Bai Chenxiang was enveloped in a faint, cyan current of air.

Within those eyes, once clear and distinct, runes of the wind element now faintly swirled.

Though still quite raw, they already possessed a hint of the majesty of an Anemo Vision.

"Little Chenxiang."

Venti called out to her.
