Stirring Up Trouble on the Grand Guardian's Head, Dancing by the Road to the Underworld
Inside the Chaos Pearl, the hazy, chaotic energy surged violently, like a raging tide.
Ye Qing grinned, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
The woman before me, dressed in white like snow and possessing unparalleled beauty, is none other than the true supreme ruler of the Far North Heavenly Snow Woman and Snow Empress!
A peerless Ferocious Beast with over 600,000 years of terrifying cultivation.
now,
This being, standing at the very top of the Douluo Continent pyramid, actually proposed a deal with him personally?
"Snow Empress Majesty, what you're saying is rather frightening."
Ye Qing shrugged, his words seemingly sarcastic, but his eyes were extremely clear.
Circumstances are beyond our control.
Although I currently have many trump cards up my sleeve...
But in the face of a 600,000-year-old Ferocious Beast that could strangle Titled Douluo at any moment, there was no room for forceful refusal.
A forced relationship will not be sweet.
But if someone were to forcefully twist his head, that wouldn't be fun at all.
"I, the Emperor, never joke with the weak."
Snow Empress, dressed in a plain white dress, moved without wind, her clear and cold voice like an unmelting glacier.
Now that things have come to this point, Ye Qing is perfectly clear about the stakes involved.
It is certainly dangerous to seek out Ferocious Beast for its skin.
But based on his understanding of Snow Empress, this opportunity was also beyond imagination.
"Good!"
Ye Qing agreed.
However, immediately afterwards,
As if remembering something extremely important, his eyes darted around, and he quickly asked, "By the way, Snow Empress Majesty, while I agree, I must ask you something first."
"What is it?"
"How is that Old Poison master who came in with me before, the one covered in green poison gas and with a full head of green hair? What happened to him?"
"You didn't just casually slit his throat, did you?"
At this point, Ye Qing felt a surge of apprehension.
If that old fellow dies in the Far North, how am I supposed to explain this to Dugu Yan when I get back?
Are you suggesting we tell Dugu Yan, "Your grandfather was frozen solid in the Far North"?
The thought of that scene is enough to send chills down your spine.
Snow Empress's icy blue eyes narrowed slightly, and her long, slender eyebrows furrowed gently.
"An old man covered in green poison?"
She thought for a moment, then said in a flat, emotionless tone, "He's not dead."
"Not dead?" Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
"He's just a newly awakened poison-type Titled Douluo."
"I found his poison gas too foul, polluting this pristine land of the Far North, and too lazy to kill him, so I casually unleashed a spell of Emperor's Cold Heaven to seal him inside that ice mountain."
Snow Empress spoke casually, as if he had merely crushed a passing ant.
Ye Qing's lips twitched violently a few times, and dark lines appeared all over his forehead.
In Snow Empress's words, Dugu Bo was actually portrayed as trash who "sealed away the poisonous gas because he thought it smelled too bad"?
The difference in strength is simply outrageous!
I wonder if Dugu Bo would cry if he knew what Snow Empress was thinking.
"Well, Snow Empress, that Old Poison is still my senior, and he only came to this icy wasteland to accompany me."
Ye Qing chuckled dryly, blinked, and said, "Could you please spare this old fellow and let him out of the ice?"
The Snow Empress nodded slightly, her expression indifferent. "Alright."
A ripple spread through the void.
The two figures vanished into thin air, leaping out of the world of the Chaos Pearl and stepping once again onto the icy, bone-chilling ice of the Far North Ice Plains.
"Buzz!"
In the blink of an eye, they stepped into the real world.
A deep impatience flashed across the depths of Snow Empress's usually calm and beautiful eyes.
Upon returning to the Douluo Continent, the feeling of being suspended by a Heavenly Tribulation sword on the edge of a cliff immediately intensified!
This stark contrast completely confirmed her suspicions.
The seemingly ordinary young man before her might actually be able to help her avoid the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation with the Chaos Pearl in his hand.
His life was worth more than you could imagine!
Ye Qing had no idea that Snow Empress had already gone through hundreds or even thousands of thoughts in her mind.
He was rubbing his hands together, squinting as he looked around.
All that could be seen was a vast expanse of white snow and glaciers; there was not a trace of Dugu Bo in sight.
"Where did that Old Poison hide? Could he have frozen to death?" Ye Qing muttered to himself.
Snow Empress did not answer.
He simply turned around gracefully, his aloof face fixed on a giant iceberg several hundred meters away, which had already collapsed more than halfway.
She waved her jade-like, translucent hand through the air.
"Snap!"
A streak of icy blue light tore through the sky.
The towering, solid iceberg, hundreds of feet high, shattered completely with a single swing.
Countless giant blocks of ice shattered into a torrential downpour of ice fragments, which flew wildly in all directions.
Ye Qing was so frightened by this earth-shattering attack that his eyes twitched and his heart trembled.
Is this just a casual strike from the ruler of the Far North for six hundred thousand years?
That's terrifying!
Before the ice shards had completely dispersed...
"Whoosh!"
At the core of the shattered iceberg, an extremely dazzling dark green beam of light rose from the ground.
"Damn ice, break it for me!!!"
A hysterical roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth!
A towering green Poison Fog surged forth like a volcanic eruption, turning the snow-covered sky into an eerie and desolate emerald green.
With his clothes tattered and hair disheveled, Dugu Bo burst forth from the shattered iceberg wreckage like a completely frenzied beast.
His entire body was brimming with murderous intent.
I was frozen solid without any resistance.
This utter humiliation drove the once arrogant Poison Douluo completely mad.
The moment it was released from its cage
Dugu Bo's serpentine eyes, gleaming with green light, immediately locked onto the Snow Empress in front of him.
It's that terrifying woman in white!
"Ye Qing, kid?!"
Dugu Bo's peripheral vision suddenly caught Ye Qing standing next to Snow Empress, and his pupils contracted sharply into thin slits.
He screamed hysterically at the top of his lungs, "Run!"
"This female demon's strength is unpredictable and bizarre. I'm risking my life to hold her off, so you'd better get out of the Far North!"
Before he finished speaking, Dugu Bo's Seventh Soul Ring suddenly erupted with a dazzling green light!
"Seventh Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Avatar!"
"Roar!"
A roar ripped through the clouds!
A giant venomous snake, hundreds of meters long and covered in dark green scales, lay horizontally in the sky.
The giant serpent opened its blood-red maw, spewing out terrifying Poison Fog powerful enough to melt rocks into pus.
With a death wish, Dugu Bo charged fiercely towards Snow Empress!
Ye Qing's eyes twitched violently, and her whole body almost went numb.
Old Poison, Old Poison, do you really want to die?
Facing this Kings of the Far North, he could crush you into snake meat paste with just one finger.
"Old Poison! Stop! Retreat right now!"
Ye Qing shouted at the top of his lungs, stamping his feet in frustration. "We're all on the same side! We're all on the same side!"
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which was diving down with the intention of making a heroic sacrifice, stopped abruptly upon hearing Ye Qing's words.
A strange look of bewilderment and confusion appeared on those enormous, emerald-green snake eyes.
The green light faded.
Dugu Bo dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar.
His old face was contorted like a steamed bun as he stared at Ye Qing with a complicated expression.
"Kid... did the snowstorm just now freeze you so badly you went mad?"
Dugu Bo's lips twitched violently, and he cursed in a low voice, "What the hell do you mean, 'our own people'?"
"This woman is clearly a terrifyingly powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"You sealed me with a single move, and I risked my life to save you, and you're telling me you're one of us?"
"Are you crazy, kid, or am I hallucinating?"
Ye Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and jogged over to Dugu Bo.
He patted the Old Poison's still slightly trembling shoulder.
"Old Poison, calm down, please calm down."
Ye Qing coughed lightly, forcing out a reassuring smile.
"Calm down my ass!"
"If we don't run now, we'll both be stuck here as ice sculptures!"
Dugu Bo was so anxious that he was fuming and grabbed Ye Qing's arm, trying to forcefully pull him out of the encirclement.
"There's no way to escape, and there's no need to run at all."
Ye Qing pressed down on his hand, leaned close to Dugu Bo's ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Old Poison, this is no ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Dugu Bo froze. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Ye Qing gestured towards the white-clad woman standing quietly behind him, like an ice goddess, and spoke Youyou:
"She is the supreme ruler of the Far North, the Heavenly Snow Woman, the Snow Empress."
"True cultivation level... over 600,000 years."
"Six... six hundred thousand years?!"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened in shock, and he almost stopped breathing.
In the Douluo Continent, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is already a powerful overlord, a terrifying existence that makes countless Titled Douluo tremble at the mere mention of its name.
What does a 600,000-year-old Ferocious Beast mean?
"Gurgle..."
Dugu Bo swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his old face like a waterfall.
No wonder!
No wonder that woman just casually waved her sleeve, and I, Titled Douluo, was Ice Seal before I could even react.
They were just playing a trick on me!
If he truly harbored murderous intent, he wouldn't even have a chance to live.
The thought that he had just activated his Soul Skill and boasted that he would perish together with a 600,000-year-old Ferocious Beast made him furious.
Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.
This is practically defying the laws of nature, like dancing on the road to the underworld!
