Heavenly Tribulation? Suppress the Ice Emperor

The Far North.

Luo Yun had been walking for three days.

The blizzard had not ceased.

White grains of snow were whipped up by the gale, striking his face like countless fine needles piercing his skin.

Between heaven and earth, there was only a vast expanse of white; he could not distinguish sky from land, north from south, and even time had become blurred.

Luo Yun braced himself with the Sun Corona Sword, its golden-green radiance blocking out the extreme cold.

How much longer must I walk? Luo Yun muttered to himself.

He stopped and looked around.

There was nothing but snow.

His father and mother were somewhere in the Far North, but the region was too vast, and his vision was obstructed.

Searching aimlessly like this, he would never find them even if he searched until he died.

He could not continue like this.

Luo Yun looked up.

The Far North had the Three Great Heavenly Kings.

Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, and the Titan Snow Demon King.

Between them, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor were relatively capable of communication.

Thinking of this, Luo Yun raised his right hand, and a bolt of purple-red lightning surged from his palm, blasting toward the right.

The lightning cleaved a brief path through the wind and snow, striking a rock dozens of meters away. The rock exploded, sending debris flying and revealing a cave behind it.

The cave was small, and curled up inside was a white ice silkworm, about the thickness of an arm.

It had been sleeping, but was jolted awake by the flying debris, lifting its head in a daze.

Then, it saw a human.

The ice silkworm's pupils contracted violently.

A human had discovered its hidden cave?

Was this human going to eat it?

The next second, its body recoiled, and it launched itself out of the cave like a spring, leaving a white afterimage on the snow with astonishing speed.

Luo Yun did not pursue; he merely raised his hand slightly.

A chain of purple-red lightning shot from his fingertips, moving even faster, instantly binding the ice silkworm's body and pulling it back.

The ice silkworm was tightly bound by the chain, suspended before Luo Yun, trembling all over.

"Ice Emperor's territory, which way?"

Luo Yun's voice was not loud, somewhat muffled by the wind and snow, yet every word was clear.

The ice silkworm's mouth twitched, and it let out a tiny, tearful sound.

It tremblingly raised a claw, pointed toward the northwest, and then closed its eyes, waiting to be eaten.

Luo Yun glanced in that direction and nodded.

The lightning chain dissipated, and the ice silkworm fell from mid-air, hitting the snow, bouncing twice, and rolling over.

It lay on the snow, shivering, not daring to move, not daring to run, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

Luo Yun walked past it, heading toward the northwest.

His pace was steady, his boots crunching against the snow.

The ice silkworm lay on the ground, waiting for a long while, and only after confirming the human had gone far away did it dare to lift its head.

It watched the black figure growing smaller and smaller, suddenly feeling its eyes grow warm.

It was the first time it had encountered a human who did not kill it.

"A good person..." the ice silkworm let out a faint, tearful sigh, then dove headfirst into the snow and vanished.

Three hours later.

Luo Yun narrowed his eyes. In the distance, two towering ice mountains stood facing each other, looking remarkably like the pincers of a giant scorpion.

Between the peaks, a deep, dark cave was vaguely visible, radiating a heart-stopping chill.

This was the territory of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, a 390,000-year-old fierce beast ranked second among the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Luo Yun merely glanced at the cave indifferently before stepping forward.

No sooner had he walked a hundred meters than a cold, violent, and supreme soul pressure surged forth from the depths of the cave!

"Human! Trespassing in forbidden territory, die!"

The voice was crisp and cold, carrying a terrifying pressure that slammed fiercely into Luo Yun and Su Han!

Luo Yun frowned slightly as the Corona Sword manifested, steadily blocking the Ice Emperor's pressure.

Immediately following, a beam of emerald light flashed by.

A scorpion, not large in size but breathtakingly beautiful, appeared silently in the center of the ice path ahead.

Its entire body looked as if it had been carved from the finest jade, crystal clear and translucent, measuring no more than 1.5 meters in length.

Its upper body resembled that of a human, with a long scorpion tail arched high, the tail hook gleaming with an eerie, emerald-blue hue.

At this moment, it was staring at the spiritual projection of the Sky Dream Ice Worm with a hint of surprise and deep disdain.

It was none other than one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

A super-beast with 390,000 years of cultivation—the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the Ice Emperor!

"A six-year-old human?" The Ice Emperor's voice carried undisguised disgust and a trace of disbelief.

"To come all the way here at such a tender age? What, are you tired of living and came specifically to offer yourself as a snack?"

Her tone was bone-chillingly cold, and the terrifying aura of a fierce beast flickered, locking onto Luo Yun.

Luo Yun looked at the jade-like scorpion before him, his scarlet eyes devoid of any emotion.

Then, he spoke slowly; his voice was not loud, yet it carried steadily through the Ice Emperor's pressure.

"Submit to me."

The Ice Emperor was stunned.

She had lived for 390,000 years and had seen many humans who didn't know the meaning of death, but she had never seen one this suicidal.

A six-year-old brat, not even showing a single soul ring, standing in her territory and demanding that she, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, submit to him?

"What did you say?" The Ice Emperor's voice was as cold as the ice in the deepest reaches of the Far North, her tail hook arched high, the emerald-blue tip gleaming with an eerie light amidst the wind and snow.

"Submit to me." Luo Yun repeated, his tone unchanged.

The Ice Emperor stared at him for two breaths, then laughed.

The laughter was crisp and cold, filled with undisguised disdain and mockery, echoing through the canyon and shaking the snow on the mountain walls until it cascaded down.

"Human brat, you truly do not wish to live."

Luo Yun did not respond.

He raised his right hand and spread his fingers.

Purple-red Destruction Thunder surged from his palm.

The Ice Emperor's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Her soul trembled violently; this tremor did not come from her body, but from the depths of her soul, as if something in her instincts had sounded an alarm.

She jerked her head up to look at the sky.

In the sky, dark clouds were gathering.

They were not the blizzard clouds common to the Far North, but a type of purple-red thundercloud carrying an aura of destruction.

The clouds churned madly a hundred meters above Luo Yun's head, forming a massive vortex. Something was brewing in the center of the vortex, emitting an aura that made her heart palpitate.

Was that a Heavenly Tribulation?

The Ice Emperor's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.

Had her 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation arrived so soon?

How could it be so fast?

Luo Yun walked toward her step by step, his boots making crisp sounds as they struck the ice.

The thunder orb in his hand continued to condense.

The Ice Emperor's gaze shifted from the thunderclouds in the sky to the thunder orb in Luo Yun's hand, and her pupils contracted once more.

It wasn't a Heavenly Tribulation; this commotion was caused by this brat?

"Now, do you think I have the qualifications to make you submit?" Luo Yun stood three paces away from her, looking up at her.
