Tang San VS Tang Xiao! The Ice and Snow Emperors Submit?!

"Asura True Body! Gods and Demons, All Annihilated!"

Tang San gripped the Asura Demon Sword with both hands. The massive blade radiated a blood-red glow capable of destroying heaven and earth as it hacked viciously toward Tang Xiao.

This strike contained all of his divine power, even the potential of his life itself. Its might was terrifying beyond measure.

Under this sword strike, the sky above the entire Far North was split open by an enormous black spatial rift.

Facing Tang San's desperate attack, Tang Xiao's expression remained calm.

"Desperately risking your life? Unfortunately, before absolute strength, desperation is nothing more than a joke."

Tang Xiao spoke indifferently.

He slowly extended his right hand. In his palm, an exquisite nine-colored Blue Silver Emperor flower slowly spun.

"Supreme Domain, All Things Perish."

As Tang Xiao's words fell, the nine-colored flower instantly transformed into a curtain of nine-colored light that spread outward in every direction.

Wherever the nine-colored curtain passed, Tang San's blood-red sword radiance, powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, melted away soundlessly like lingering snow beneath the blazing sun.

"This is impossible!"

Seeing his full-force strike so easily neutralized, the madness in Tang San's eyes finally receded, replaced by endless terror.

He had thought that once he became a god, he would be able to contend with Tang Xiao.

But now, it seemed that before Tang Xiao, he was still as weak as an infant.

The nine-colored curtain instantly spread before Tang San and slammed viciously into his Asura True Body.

Pfft!

Tang San suffered a heavy blow. His massive Asura True Body shattered instantly, and he coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood as his body flew backward like a cannonball.

A nine-colored vine pierced through his chest, bringing with it a great spray of golden divine blood.

"Ah!"

Tang San let out a miserable scream of pain. Under that strike, the divine power in his body was almost completely dispersed.

He stared fixedly at Tang Xiao. The hatred in his eyes was nearly tangible, but beneath it lay an even deeper fear.

"Tang Xiao... just wait... I will definitely avenge this!"

Tang San shouted venomously.

He knew that he was absolutely no match for Tang Xiao today. If he remained, death would be his only fate.

He suddenly bit through the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which fused into the Asura Demon Sword in his hand.

"Asura Space Escape!"

The Asura Demon Sword erupted with intense blood-red light, forcibly tearing open the surrounding space and enveloping Tang San within it.

Tang Xiao frowned slightly and waved his right hand. Several nine-colored vines instantly stabbed into that stretch of space.

However, the blood-red light was incredibly fast and carried the power of the God Realm's laws. Before the vines could close in, it took Tang San and vanished into the spatial rift.

"He escaped rather quickly. As expected of the dog chosen by the Asura God."

Tang Xiao withdrew his hand, his expression calm. Tang San's escape caused no ripples in his heart.

In his eyes, Tang San was merely an ant he could crush to death at any time. If he ran, then he ran. Tang Xiao could simply crush him next time.

At this moment, the entire Far North returned to calm.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress stared blankly at everything, their hearts churning with monstrous waves.

Tang San, who possessed the strength of a god, had been completely unable to fight back before Tang Xiao. Even his followers had been instantly killed in a single move.

Just what realm of power had this Supreme Blue Silver Emperor reached?

Snow Empress took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart. She walked before Tang Xiao and directly dropped to one knee.

"Snow Empress of the Far North thanks you, Your Excellency, for saving my life."

"From this day onward, Snow Empress is willing to lead all soul beasts of the Far North in submitting to Your Excellency and obeying your commands!"

Seeing this, Ice Empress hurriedly knelt as well.

"Ice Empress is willing to submit to Your Excellency!"

Tang Xiao looked at the two women kneeling before him and smiled faintly.

"Rise."

"Since you have submitted, I will naturally protect you."

"From now on, the Far North shall be the territory of my Blue Silver Empire."

Snow Empress and Ice Empress respectfully rose to their feet.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Qian Renxue walked to Tang Xiao's side, looked at Snow Empress, and spoke with a smile.

"Snow Empress, you are very clever. You made the most correct choice."

Snow Empress sighed softly, somewhat moved.

"Before my lord and mistress, this little strength of mine is nothing more than the glow of a firefly."

Tang Xiao took Qian Renxue's hand and gazed over the world blanketed in silver before speaking calmly.

"Alright, this matter is settled. It's time for us to return."

With that, Tang Xiao waved his hand, and the spatial gate opened once more.

He led Qian Renxue through the spatial gate, and they vanished in an instant.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress looked at the empty sky, exchanged glances, and both felt immense relief.

They knew that from this day onward, the fate of the Far North had been completely changed.

Meanwhile, deep within Slaughter City, ten thousand li away from the Far North.

Space suddenly split apart, and Tang San, covered in blood and with his aura weakened to the extreme, tumbled out of the void in a wretched state.

"Pfft!"

He spat out another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

"Tang Xiao... you bastard... I'll never let you go!"

Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his flesh as blood streamed down.

Dai Mubai's death, along with the humiliation of being crushed once again, had completely twisted his heart.

"Power... I need greater power!"

Tang San roared almost hysterically.

He knew that although he now possessed divine power, he was still one final step away from inheriting the true position of the Asura God.

"As long as I completely finish the Nine Asura Trials and become the true Asura God, I'll be able to wield the power of the God Realm!"

"Then, even if you possess a million years of cultivation, there will be only one path left for you—death!"

Tang San's eyes brimmed with frenzied killing intent.

Yet he did not know that every step of his struggle was part of Tang Xiao's calculations.

Within the estate, the sea of flowers remained as fragrant as ever.

Tang Xiao and Qian Renxue stood side by side atop the pavilion, looking out at the distant scenery.

"Husband, Tang San escaped. Is that really alright?"

Qian Renxue asked with some concern.

Tang Xiao smiled faintly and drew her into his embrace.

"It's nothing. He is merely a trial I left behind for this continent."

"He thinks becoming a god will allow him to control everything, but he does not realize that the God Realm itself is merely my next target."

Tang Xiao's voice was calm, yet it carried an unparalleled presence capable of swallowing heaven and earth.

Looking at the man beside her, the admiration and love in Qian Renxue's eyes deepened further.

This was her man, the most powerful being in this world.

No matter what storms the future might bring, as long as he was there, she feared nothing.

"Husband, that finger strike of yours just now was truly astonishing."

Qian Renxue lifted her head with a playful smile, her beautiful eyes gleaming with admiration.

"That Dai Mubai was a Titled Douluo, after all, yet he could not even withstand a single finger from you."

Tang Xiao chuckled and lightly scraped her pert nose with his finger.

"He was only a fake Titled Douluo forcibly elevated to that level. His foundation was unstable, and he had been tainted by Slaughter City's evil aura. He was never destined to go far."

"Besides, he dared to disrespect me. He deserved to die."

Qian Renxue smiled with pursed lips and rested her head against Tang Xiao's shoulder.

"The method Tang San used to escape seemed to be a divine-sense secret art from the God Realm. It seems the Asura God truly values him."

A cold glint flashed through Tang Xiao's eyes.

"That old Asura God has stayed in the God Realm for too long. His mind has grown muddled as well."

"Does he think choosing an heir means he can interfere in Douluo Continent?"

"Once I finish dealing with this continent's affairs, I'll naturally go to the God Realm and settle the score with him."

When she heard that Tang Xiao intended to settle accounts with the God Realm, Qian Renxue was not afraid in the slightest. Instead, she became somewhat excited.

"When the time comes, I'll go with you, Husband."

"Of course. My Xue'er is going to become the mistress of the God Realm."

Tang Xiao laughed heartily, his laughter filled with boldness and confidence.

Meanwhile, within the ice palace of the Far North.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress were discussing what to do next.

"Big Sister, have you really decided to submit to Tang Xiao?"

Ice Empress asked somewhat puzzled.

"We in the Far North have always lived freely. Now that we suddenly have a master, it still feels rather strange."

Snow Empress looked at Ice Empress and shook her head helplessly.

"Bing'er, you're still too naive."

"In this world, there is no absolute freedom—only absolute strength."

"If My Lord hadn't arrived in time today, the two of us would already have become Tang San's spirit rings and spirit bones."

"You've seen Tang San's strength as well. That was true divine power; we simply had no way to contend against it."

"Yet My Lord defeated him with ease and even killed Dai Mubai in a single move."

"Submitting to such a powerful expert is not a humiliation for the Far North. On the contrary, it is a tremendous stroke of fortune."

Hearing Snow Empress's explanation, Ice Empress fell silent.

She might have been willful, but she was not foolish. She knew Snow Empress was telling the truth.

"Moreover, the Life Divine Power My Lord gave us just now not only healed our injuries, but also showed signs of loosening my bottleneck."

Snow Empress continued, excitement gleaming in her eyes.

"With this power, along with the origin of the Nine Nether Frostspring from the Gold Ranking reward, I am absolutely certain I can break through the seven-hundred-thousand-year threshold."

"Perhaps even attaining that elusive godhood in the future will not be impossible."

Ice Empress's eyes lit up slightly at that.

"Really? Big Sister, you can become a god?"

"As long as we follow My Lord, anything is possible."

Snow Empress said with a resolute expression.

After witnessing Tang Xiao's terrifying strength, she was filled with confidence in the future.

At the same time, Dai Mubai's death and Tang San's defeat and flight once again caused a massive uproar across the entire Douluo Continent.

Although the Gold Ranking did not directly reveal footage of that battle, some powerful spirit masters still learned of what had happened in the Far North through various channels.

Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Palace.

Xue Beng sat upon the throne, staring at the intelligence report in his hand as his body began trembling uncontrollably.

"Dai Mubai... is dead?"

"State Preceptor Tang San... was defeated too?"

Xue Beng's voice was filled with terror.

He had thought that Tang San would gain immense power in Slaughter City and lead the Heaven Dou Empire in striking back against the Spirit Hall Empire and the Blue Silver Empire.

But now, even Tang San, who possessed the strength of a god, had been defeated.

What hope did the Heaven Dou Empire have left?

"Your Majesty, the Blue Silver Empire's army has already taken over Jialing Pass. We..."

A minister spoke hesitantly, trembling with fear.

Xue Beng slumped weakly onto the throne, his eyes vacant.

"Surrender..."

"Even the gods have lost. What can we mortals possibly do?"

Xue Beng's voice echoed through the empty hall, sounding especially bleak.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Hall Empire.

After receiving the news, Bibi Dong merely sighed faintly.

"As expected."

"That Tang San was ultimately nothing more than a self-important clown."

"Before Tang Xiao, all struggle is futile."

Bibi Dong looked out at the sky beyond the window, a trace of relief flashing through her eyes.

She was glad that she had made the right choice back then and had not stubbornly fought Tang Xiao to the bitter end.

Otherwise, the Spirit Hall Empire would likely have already turned to ash, just like Dai Mubai.

"Hu Liena, issue the order. Fully cooperate with the Blue Silver Empire in taking over the defensive lines everywhere."

"No one in Spirit Hall is to make any unusual moves."

"Yes, Your Holiness."

At that moment, the wind and snow of the Far North seemed to grow much gentler. The howling gales gradually subsided, while the originally violent cold currents were soothed by an invisible force.

Snow Empress stood before the gates of the ice palace, gazing toward the nine-colored glow gradually spreading across the southern horizon.

That was the power of the Blue Silver Empire, swiftly taking over this ancient ice field with an unstoppable force.

"Big Sister, are we really going now?"

Ice Empress walked to Snow Empress's side. Her emerald-green gown stood out sharply against the pure white snow. Hesitation showed on her face. Accustomed to reigning supreme in the Far North, she naturally felt conflicted about suddenly having to submit to a human.

"His Excellency saved our lives. Both emotionally and logically, we should personally go and thank him."

Snow Empress's voice was gentle, yet it carried an unshakable resolve. She turned around and looked at Ice Empress's delicate, lovely face, letting out a faint sigh.

"Besides, the rewards from the Heavenly Dao Gold List have already drawn the attention of the entire continent. Without His Excellency's protection, the two of us simply cannot safeguard these things with our strength alone. Although Tang San fled in defeat, the Asura God behind him will never let this matter rest."

At the mention of the Asura God, Ice Empress bit her soft red lip, and her expression turned solemn as well. The power of a god in that battle still left her shaken.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, Big Sister. Then let us go meet this Supreme Blue Silver Emperor, ranked first on the Gold List."

Having made their decision, the two women no longer hesitated. They immediately transformed into two streaks of light, one white and one green, tearing through the wind and snow of the Far North as they flew toward the manor within Heaven Dou Empire territory.

Along the way, they saw many troops and powerhouses of the Blue Silver Empire systematically taking over the defensive lines.

Those Imperial soul masters who had once been so arrogant all revealed expressions of reverence and obedience when faced with the Blue Silver Empire's nine-colored banners.

This gave Snow Empress and Ice Empress a more direct understanding of the Blue Silver Empire's terrifying strength, and their awe for His Excellency—whom they had yet to truly know—deepened even further.

Before long, a tranquil manor hidden amid mountains and rivers appeared before them.

There was none of the Far North's piercing cold here. Instead, exotic flowers and rare herbs covered the mountains and fields, while a refreshing fragrance filled the air.

Nine-colored Blue Silver Grass swayed gently in the breeze, radiating an incomparably pure aura of life.
