Dai Mubai's Tragic Death!

Tang San's voice echoed through the blood pool, making the surrounding stone walls tremble and shed dust.

At that moment, a figure emerged from the shadows—it was Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai, too, exuded an overwhelmingly powerful aura, and an eerie blood-red gleam shone in his eyes.

He had clearly gained enormous benefits as well. His strength had broken through the rank of Titled Douluo, and he had even faintly touched the threshold of godhood.

"Xiao San, did you succeed?"

Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, his eyes filled with fervor and reverence.

Tang San nodded proudly. With a gesture of his right hand, a massive blood-red sword radiating boundless murderous intent appeared out of thin air.

"That's right. I have received the Asura God's recognition. I now possess the body of a God King!"

"Mubai, we're going to the Far North now."

Dai Mubai paused, looking somewhat puzzled.

"What are we going to the Far North for? Shouldn't we seek revenge on Tang Xiao first?"

Tang San sneered, calculation flashing in his eyes.

"Revenge is inevitable, but Tang Xiao's strength is bizarre. I need a more foolproof advantage."

"The Gold Ranking has just been announced. Snow Empress obtained clues to the Ice God's divine position, as well as the Nine Nether Cold Spring Origin."

"That Nine Nether Cold Spring Origin is a supreme treasure of extreme cold. If I can devour it, my Asura divine power will rise to another level."

"Moreover, Snow Empress is a seven-hundred-thousand-year soul beast. If she sacrifices herself to my second martial soul, I'll gain a god-level soul ring!"

"Then, killing Tang Xiao will be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!"

Dai Mubai's blood surged as he listened, and he immediately burst into laughter.

"Good! Then we'll go to the Far North and make that Snow Empress submit. If she refuses, we'll destroy her!"

The two exchanged a glance, then turned into two streaks of blood-red light and vanished from Slaughter City in an instant.

Far North, core region.

The blizzard was even fiercer than before, and the entire world lay covered beneath a vast expanse of white ice and snow.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress were inside an enormous ice palace.

Snow Empress sat cross-legged, the Nine Nether Cold Spring Origin floating before her and radiating incomparably pure icy divine power.

She was guiding this power, attempting to break through her own bottleneck.

Ice Empress stood guard at her side, her large eyes nervously watching the surroundings.

Suddenly, the entire ice palace shook violently.

An incomparably evil aura, brimming with slaughter and bloodshed, forcibly tore through the Far North's blizzard barrier and descended above the ice palace.

"Who is it? Who dares trespass into my Far North core region?!"

Ice Empress's expression changed drastically. In a flash, she appeared outside the ice palace.

Snow Empress opened her eyes as well, frowning slightly as she put away the Nine Nether Cold Spring Origin and followed her outside.

In the sky beyond the ice palace, the raging snowstorm had actually been dyed blood-red.

Tang San and Dai Mubai stood in the air, looking down imperiously at the two women below.

Brilliant divine light shone from Tang San's body, while Asura divine power formed rings of blood-red halos that pulsed behind him.

The pressure belonging to a god made all the soul beasts across the Far North tremble in fear.

"You are Snow Empress?"

Tang San looked down at Snow Empress, his tone lofty and arrogant, carrying an air of unquestionable authority.

Snow Empress looked at the divine light around Tang San and felt a slight shock in her heart, but her expression remained calm.

"Human, this is the Far North. It is not a place you should be."

Dai Mubai took a step forward in midair. His Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul roared behind him as blood-red soul rings flashed.

"Hmph, Snow Empress, open your eyes and look carefully. Standing before you is a great god!"

"With a god descended upon you, why haven't you, a mere soul beast, knelt to welcome him?"

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Ice Empress's pretty face immediately reddened with rage.

"Bullshit! What god? You're nothing but two despicable humans!"

"Get lost while you still can, or this Empress will freeze you into ice sculptures!"

Tang San looked at Ice Empress and casually waved his hand.

A blood-red blade of light instantly slashed forth, moving at an unimaginable speed.

Ice Empress did not even have time to react before the blood-red blade of light was already before her.

"Ice Extreme Unrivaled!"

Snow Empress let out a sharp cry and lightly raised her jade-like hand. A massive wall of ice appeared out of thin air, shielding Ice Empress.

Boom!

The blood-red blade of light struck the ice wall with an earth-shaking crash.

The ice wall shattered instantly, turning into ice fragments that filled the sky.

Snow Empress swayed slightly and took half a step back, a trace of gravity flashing through her eyes.

The opponent's power had indeed surpassed the realm of mortals. It was true divine power.

Tang San stood with his hands behind his back, his expression cold.

"Snow Empress, I'll give you one chance."

"Hand over the clues to the Ice God's divine position and the Nine Nether Cold Spring Origin, then submit to me and become the soul ring of my second martial soul."

"I can promise that when I rule the God Realm, I will grant you the title of divine beast of the God Realm and let you live forever."

"Otherwise, today will be the day the Far North is destroyed!"

Hearing Tang San's arrogant words, Snow Empress laughed in fury.

"You want me to submit? You even want me to become your soul ring?"

"Dream on!"

"I, Snow Empress, was born of heaven and earth. Even if I die in battle, I will never bow my head to anyone!"

Ice Empress was trembling with rage as well, her emerald eyes blazing with fury.

"Big Sister, let's fight these two shameless bastards to the end!"

"The dignity of the Far North will not be trampled upon!"

Tang San sighed, a cruel killing intent flashing through his eyes.

"Stubborn fool."

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

"Mubai, attack. The smaller one is yours. I'll deal with Snow Empress myself."

"Yes, Third Brother!"

Dai Mubai roared as his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a gigantic blood-red white tiger that lunged at Ice Empress.

Tang San raised a hand, and the Asura Demon Sword fell into his grasp. Boundless slaughter divine power erupted in an instant.

Asura Judgment!

A blood-red sword light a hundred meters long, carrying world-destroying might, slashed down at Snow Empress's head.

Snow Empress gritted her silver teeth as the origin power of ice and snow within her surged wildly.

Emperor's Chill: Snow Dance Glorious Sun!

The blizzard filling the sky instantly gathered, forming a massive vortex of ice and snow that met the blood-red sword light head-on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying shockwaves of energy ravaged the Far North. The surrounding ice mountains collapsed one after another, while countless enormous fissures split open across the ground.

Although Snow Empress was immensely powerful, she remained at an absolute disadvantage against Tang San, who already possessed the strength of a god.

With every collision, her blood and energy churned violently, and her face grew paler and paler.

Meanwhile, Ice Empress was gradually being overwhelmed under Dai Mubai's frenzied assault.

Dai Mubai had fused with a portion of slaughter divine power. His strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, and every attack carried terrifying corrosive and destructive force.

"Ha ha ha, little scorpion, just obediently die!"

Dai Mubai laughed wildly. His enormous tiger claw tore through the air and slammed viciously into Ice Empress's shoulder.

Crack!

The sound of breaking bone rang out. Ice Empress screamed as she was sent flying, smashing through an ice mountain and coughing up blood.

"Bing'er!"

Snow Empress panicked at the sight. Distracted for a moment, she was struck across the shoulder by Tang San's sword.

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere. Snow Empress flew away like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily into the snow and staining a large patch of white red.

Tang San slowly descended to the ground and looked down at Snow Empress, who struggled to rise.

"Pointless resistance has no meaning."

"Snow Empress, I'll be taking your Nine Nether Cold Spring Origin."

As he spoke, he raised the Asura Demon Sword, preparing to deliver Snow Empress a fatal blow.

However, at that critical moment—

The previously raging blizzard suddenly came to an eerie standstill.

The entire world fell deathly silent in that instant.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure as vast as the starry cosmos quietly spread through the sky.

Sensing that pressure, Tang San's expression changed drastically, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand came to an abrupt halt in midair.

"This aura... is it him?!"

Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with shock, rage, and wariness.

Above the heavens, space suddenly rippled like water.

An enormous spatial gate slowly opened.

A tall, slender figure stepped out from the spatial gate.

He wore a simple azure robe, his ink-black hair drifting in the wind.

His incomparably handsome face was calm and undisturbed, while his deep eyes seemed to contain endless stars.

Beneath his feet, Blue Silver Emperor flowers radiating nine-colored divine light bloomed from thin air, forming a divine pathway.

It was Tang Xiao.

Beside Tang Xiao stood Qian Renxue in a long golden dress, holy and noble, a trace of chill in her beautiful eyes.

Tang Xiao's appearance instantly brought peace to the Far North, which had been filled with slaughter and bloodshed.

The divine pressure that had left Snow Empress and Ice Empress unable to breathe vanished without a trace the instant Tang Xiao appeared.

"Tang Xiao!"

Looking at the figure in the sky, Tang San's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his teeth grinding audibly.

"You actually dared to come here!"

Tang Xiao looked down calmly at Tang San, as though he were watching a ridiculous clown.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

"The world is vast. I can go wherever I please. Is that any of your business?"

His voice was unhurried, yet it carried an unchallengeable dominance.

Snow Empress struggled to raise her head and looked at Tang Xiao, a flicker of shock and hope passing through her eyes.

"A million years... the Supreme Blue Silver Emperor..."

She murmured to herself, finally seeing the existence ranked first on the Gold Ranking with her own eyes.

That terrifying aura, which even surpassed the gods she knew of, left her unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Ice Empress also struggled over to Snow Empress's side. Looking at Tang Xiao, her eyes were filled with reverence.

Tang Xiao's gaze fell upon Snow Empress and Ice Empress, and he lightly raised a hand.

Two streams of pure Life Divine Power turned into green rain of light and merged into the two women's bodies.

In an instant, the injuries on Snow Empress and Ice Empress healed at a visible rate, while their weak auras rapidly became full once more.

"Thank you for saving us, my lord."

Snow Empress rose to her feet and bowed slightly toward Tang Xiao in gratitude.

Tang Xiao gave a slight nod.

"No need for formalities. Since you are on the Gold Ranking, you count as one of Douluo Continent's own."

"If some fool who doesn't know his place wants to lay a hand on you, they'll have to ask whether I agree first."

As he said this, Tang Xiao's gaze returned to Tang San, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

"Tang San, after hiding like a turtle in Slaughter City for a few days, you obtained a scrap of divine power and now think yourself invincible?"

"You actually dared to come to the Far North and cause trouble. Who gave you the nerve?"

Upon hearing the words "scrap of divine power," Tang San was so furious he nearly spat blood.

How much had he paid to obtain this power? How much pain had he endured?

Yet in Tang Xiao's mouth, it was merely "a scrap of divine power"?

"Tang Xiao! Stop acting so arrogantly!"

Tang San pointed at Tang Xiao and roared.

"I have obtained the inheritance of the Asura God. I am a true god!"

"You're nothing but a soul beast. Even with a million years of cultivation, you are still merely an animal before a god!"

"Today, I will use your blood to consecrate my Asura Demon Sword!"

Hearing Tang San's roar, Tang Xiao was not angry. Instead, he shook his head with an amused smile.

"A god?"

"With that tiny amount of impure Asura Divine Power in your body, you dare call yourself a god?"

"Even true God Kings must lower their heads before me. What the hell are you?"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai let out an angry roar at once, determined to show off in front of Tang San.

"Tang Xiao! Don't insult Third Brother!"

"Take this!"

Dai Mubai's massive body shot forward, transforming into a streak of crimson light. His enormous tiger claw carried the force to tear through space as it viciously swiped at Tang Xiao.

He had clearly underestimated Tang Xiao's strength. He thought that having broken through to the Titled Douluo rank and gained the enhancement of divine power, he could at least exchange a few moves with Tang Xiao.

Yet in the face of Dai Mubai's attack, Tang Xiao did not even raise an eyelid.

"Noisy."

Tang Xiao merely uttered those two words before lightly flicking his right index finger.

A slender vine of the Nine-Colored Blue Silver Emperor appeared out of thin air before Dai Mubai.

The vine looked soft and boneless, but the instant it came into contact with Dai Mubai's tiger claw, it erupted with world-destroying power.

Pfft!

Without any suspense, Dai Mubai's enormous tiger claw turned directly into nothingness the instant it touched the vine.

Then, the nine-colored vine coiled upward like a spirit serpent, winding along his arm and instantly wrapping around his entire body.

"No! Third Brother, save me!"

Dai Mubai let out a miserable cry, his eyes filled with terror.

He could clearly feel his life force, Soul Power, and even his soul being madly devoured by that vine.

Tang San's expression changed drastically. With a flash, he moved to save him.

"Asura Slash!"

He swung his sword, intending to sever the vine.

However, Tang Xiao merely snorted coldly, and an invisible force instantly shattered Tang San's sword radiance.

"You think you can save someone in front of me?"

Tang Xiao's voice was indifferent as his right hand suddenly clenched.

Bang!

A muffled explosion rang out.

Dai Mubai, wrapped in the nine-colored vine, exploded on the spot and turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Even his soul was completely scattered beneath the Supreme Blue Silver Emperor's terrifying life-devouring power, leaving him not even the chance to reincarnate.

Dai Mubai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger of his generation, had fallen just like that, body and soul utterly destroyed!

"Mubai!"

Tang San stared at the blood mist that Dai Mubai had become. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he fell into utter madness.

Dai Mubai was his brother through life and death, yet before his very eyes, Tang Xiao had crushed him as easily as one would crush an ant.

That humiliation and pain nearly made him lose his mind.

"Tang Xiao! I want you dead! I want you dead!"

Tang San roared madly as the Asura God's power within him erupted without reservation.

His body began to expand, blood-red divine markings surfacing across his skin as he transformed into a colossal crimson giant.
