Just as the two hesitated, the sixth heavenly tribulation also began to condense rapidly, about to strike down.
At the same time, on the other side.
"Teacher, this soul beast is about to undergo the sixth Tribulation Lightning, aren't we going to make a move yet?"
A Spirit Sage cautiously asked the middle-aged man with a stern expression beside him.
"Fool, are you looking for death?! You never listen when I tell you to study more knowledge other than soul tools normally," the man scolded angrily upon hearing this, "Do you know who the soul beast undergoing the tribulation in front of us is? This is the Heavenly Snow Woman Snow Empress, ranked third among the ten fierce beasts, with a cultivation of nearly seven hundred thousand years. Not to mention being hit head-on by this heavenly tribulation, believe me, even its aftermath touching you would cause you to die on the spot."
"Not to mention a tiny Spirit Sage like you, even someone like me, a Level Nine Soul Engineer, wouldn't dare easily step forward to contact this Tribulation Lightning."
"I, I understand, Teacher. This time when we go back, I will definitely make up for other knowledge."
"Hmph."
"The Snow Empress should be undergoing her seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation now, which means there are still two left," the middle-aged man snorted coldly and continued, "She is already extremely weak after withstanding five of them now, and she will definitely suffer heavy injuries from the sixth and seventh Tribulation Lightning. Once all the Tribulation Lightning descends, launch the signal immediately, and we will take this opportunity to pack her into the Sealing God Platform, understood?"
"Understood!"
Hearing the man's words, that Spirit Sage and two other Spirit Douluos immediately responded.
"Ice Empress, do you have the confidence to send me to the Snow Empress's side before those people react?"
Yao Shi's expression was grave as he asked the Ice Empress.
The Ice Empress shook her head upon hearing this. At this moment, her tone lacked the arrogance exclusive to an emperor when they first met, and was instead filled with exhaustion, "Among those twenty-odd people over there, six are powerhouses above the Title Douluo level, and the rest are also Spirit Douluos and Spirit Sages, with the lowest not falling below the Spirit Emperor level. If it were only them, I wouldn't fear them at all and could solve them with some methods."
"However..."
Speaking of this, the Ice Empress paused her voice, cast a deep gaze toward the northern direction, and gave a bitter smile, "And on this side, although there are only four people, the strength of one of them is not weaker than mine, especially that strange machine of his, which even makes me feel fear."
With that, she turned her head to look at Yao Shi, "Has the technology of you humans developed to this extent nowadays?"
Yao Shi was clearly stunned after hearing this.
A powerhouse capable of making even the Ice Empress feel fear, wearing a machine, that certainly could only be achieved by a Level Nine Soul Engineer.
A ninety-third-rank Level Nine Soul Engineer, six Title Douluos, and over a dozen others who were also Spirit Douluo and Spirit Sage powerhouses, plus a soul engineer regiment—it was indeed not strange for this lineup to threaten the Ice Empress.
Right at this moment, the sixth heavenly tribulation descended, its power doubling compared to the previous five.
Boom--
With a loud crash, the sixth heavenly tribulation fiercely struck the Snow Empress.
"Ugh, ahh--"
The Snow Empress let out a painful scream and fell to her knees, a large mouthful of fresh blood gushing from her mouth. Although this sixth heavenly tribulation was also successfully withstood, her current state and energy were clearly insufficient to withstand the final one.
Now her physical body was on the verge of shattering, and the originally smooth and neat snowfield near her had also been blasted with ravines and deep pits by the heavenly tribulation. Looking closely at those remaining pits, they actually faintly flickered with electric arcs, making it imaginable just how immense the power of this Tribulation Lightning was.
"In the end... did we still fail?"
The Snow Empress knelt on the ground with absent eyes, her tone full of unwillingness.
"Heh, it seems perhaps I can only take that path."
Looking at the final heavenly tribulation about to descend above, the Snow Empress suddenly smiled with some relief, and then she took a hundred-thousand-year snow lotus from her bosom and began to channel the power of heaven and earth.
The moment the power of heaven and earth touched the Snow Empress, her physical body began to disintegrate slowly, and the tribulation clouds in the sky actually stopped condensing Tribulation Lightning, rapidly dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The Snow Empress is going to retrain as a human!"
The Ice Empress was shocked upon seeing this scene.
"Not good, they are starting to move!"
Meanwhile, Yao Shi noticed that the dozens of lurking people had already started moving.
At the same time.
"The heavenly tribulation actually dissipated in advance, good opportunity, let's go!"
The middle-aged leader shouted as he looked at the dissipated tribulation, and at the same time, the previous Spirit Sage immediately fired a signal flare.
Whoosh--Bang--
A loud fireworks display resounded, and that team of twenty-odd people moved at the sound, "Brothers, move out, the captain has given the signal!"
Saying this, this group of people swarmed and flew toward the Snow Empress.
This sudden turn of events was unforeseen by the Snow Empress. She never expected that she had deliberately come to the deepest part of the Far North to undergo her tribulation, yet such a powerful group of human soul masters had ambushed her here.
"Damn humans, you are courting death!"
Looking at the dozens of high-rank soul masters rushing toward her, the Snow Empress instantly flew into a rage, but at the moment, her origin was self-sealed, and her soul beast body was slowly disintegrating, soon to transform into an embryo, leaving her with no ability to fend them off.
At present, even an ordinary human child holding a dagger could directly finish her off.
"Is heaven truly trying to cut off my path?"
Looking at the group charging over aggressively, the Snow Empress could not help but feel sorrowful, hating how unfair heaven was. She considered herself the Heavenly Snow Woman, nurtured by heaven and earth naturally, a unique humanoid soul beast, and furthermore a top-tier powerhouse approaching seven hundred thousand years.
Now she could not get past the great tribulation, and when she wanted to transform into a human, she was hindered by others. Since that was the case, it would be better to perish together.
With this thought, the Snow Empress's eyes instantly turned resolute, stopping her body's disintegration, and she directly ignited the Extreme Frost origin within her body.
"Even if I die, I will perish together with you! Don't even dream of getting my soul ring and soul bone!"
"Not good, Captain, she wants to self-destruct!"
A Title Douluo anxiously shouted to the middle-aged leader.
"Hehe, don't worry," the middle-aged leader said in an indifferent tone, then retrieved a palm-sized square metal jade platform from his storage soul tool ring, densely covered with intertwined golden runes.
"Hehehe, as long as we pack the Snow Empress into this Sealing God Platform, the barrier inside will naturally continuously extract her own soul power and divine soul to seal her."
The middle-aged man was in an extremely good mood at the moment, as if capturing the Snow Empress was already within his grasp.
Eternal Frozen Domain--
Just as this soul tool squad was about to reach the Snow Empress, an area-of-effect soul skill suddenly appeared and attacked them.
"There's a situation, fall back quickly!"
The middle-aged man reacted swiftly, flying back dozens of meters before this attack landed. Those Title Douluos and Spirit Douluos also managed to narrowly dodge the attack upon hearing the warning, but those Spirit Emperors and quite a few Spirit Sages were not so lucky. They were frozen into ice cubes in mid-air, and then their bodies smashed straight down from high altitude, turning into pieces of ice slag.
"What person, get the hell out here for this seat!"
This sudden attack caused this Level Nine Soul Engineer to fly into a rage on the spot, roaring toward the surroundings.
"Hmph! Mere seven Title Douluos, plus a bunch of small fries, who gave you the guts to come to my territory to hunt soul beasts?"
(These two protagonists have relatively few scenes, no choice, the enemy's level is too high...)
