Heavenly Tribulation! Snow Emperor Awakens!

When Ice Empress noticed Ye Hua's attention on the cocoon, a chilling glint appeared in his eyes.

"Look at me one more time, and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

"Ice Empress! Calm down!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly floated in front of Ye Hua. "He's not human!"

"He is Auspicious Beast!"

"Auspicious Beast?" Ice Empress frowned slightly. "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Before Tian Meng could speak again, Ye Hua released his aura.

Gold Trial halo spread out, bathing the entire underground palace in a warm hue.

The Ice Empress was shaken to his core, "Is it really Auspicious Beast?!"

She remained silent for a moment, her murderous intent clearly subsiding.

"The aura is genuine, but how did you break through my stone gate just now?"

"My men did it," Ye Hua said truthfully.

Ice Empress stared at him suspiciously, their eyes narrowing slightly.

Well then, let's just consider it the work of the Beast God Di Tian!

The Black Dragon is always cautious, so it's only natural that it would send powerful warriors to protect the Auspicious Beast during its travels!

"Then what brings you here?" Ice Empress remained indifferent.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took a deep breath, "Of course, it's about creating gods!"

Ice Empress frowned.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said solemnly, "You know that we Soul Beast have limited lifespans and also face Heavenly Tribulation, with the constant danger of death."

Even if I survive the Heavenly Tribulation and endure for millions of years—like me—I still cannot become a god; the day of my death will eventually come.

"Why not find a genius to sacrifice, preserving their soul within Soul Ring? Once they become a god, we too can achieve immortality!"

Ice Empress remained silent, watching him gesticulate wildly.

"I won't do it."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm choked.

"Ice Empress! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I don't need immortality," Ice Empress shook her head, "Nor do I need to become a god."

"I just want to live my life well."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wanted to persuade him again, but Ye Hua raised his hand and pressed her down.

Ye Hua looked at the cocoon behind the Ice Empress, "Is that the Snow Empress undergoing her tribulation? Are you worried that no one will Guardian her while you're not around?"

Ice Empress's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"That's right. If you come back a thousand years from now, I might consider it."

"But now, I can't leave her!"

"It's just that Soul Beast Transformation, and their lifespan is the same as humans. This thousand years will probably be..."

Before the words were finished, the underground palace suddenly trembled violently!

Boom--!!!

A deafening clap of thunder exploded from the dome.

The ice wall cracked violently, and pieces of ice kept falling.

Ice Empress's expression changed drastically!

She looked up, her eyes serious.

"How is that possible! There was clearly still a thousand years to go, how could it be brought forward!"

"Don't you know the morals of the Divine Realm?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked.

"How many times have they interfered with the heavenly secrets and caused the Heavenly Tribulation to arrive ahead of schedule in order to prevent the Soul Beast from growing stronger?"

The Ice Empress's face was grim. "Damn the Divine Realm! They just want to take advantage of the Snow Empress's lack of preparation and kill her!"

Before the words were even finished, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a water vat tore through the dome of the underground palace and struck straight at the cocoon!

"Not good!" Ice Empress leaped into the air, channeling her Soul Power to its limit!

She crossed her arms in front of the cocoon, facing the pillar of Heavenly Tribulation lightning.

Boom!!!

The terrifying shockwave sent Oscar flying, Snow Tuan used his bear body to pin him down, preventing him from being knocked unconscious by the falling ice.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also erected its mental barrier, but its soul was shaken and trembled.

"Cough cough!" Ice Empress's arms were charred black, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

She gritted her teeth and withstood the first Lightning Tribulation!

"A seven-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook her head, "She can't withstand it!"

"Her cultivation level this year is less than 400,000 years!"

As they were speaking, the second Heavenly Tribulation struck down.

"Damn it!" Ice Empress reverted to her beast form.

The forelegs are as clear as Water Crystal and harder than diamonds, completely concealing the cocoon.

A thunderous roar erupted, Ice Empress was engulfed by lightning.

When the second bolt of lightning dissipated, her long, emerald-green tail was already dragging on the ground, unable to stand upright.

The two front claws were even blackish-gray, with sparks still floating around, like unburnt coal from an egg.

A third thunderbolt is brewing in the sky.

"Divine Realm... you shameless beings!"

Ice Empress gritted their teeth and struggled to their feet.

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly; she couldn't withstand this lightning strike no matter what.

If we don't act soon, their Soul Spirit will be destroyed!

"Ha!" Ye Hua shouted, stepping onto the ice and soaring into the sky.

With a raised hand, he pointed at the Lightning Tribulation that had not yet fallen.

In an instant, countless threads gathered at his fingertips, visible only to Ye Hua.

That's the Fate Line!

The Snow Empress's precarious Fate Line, once Gold Trial, has faded and turned blackish-gray.

The Fate Line of Ice Empress, severely injured, flickers with Gold Trial, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

As for the line connecting the sky, corresponding to the Fate Line of the Lightning Tribulation, the red light overshadowed the golden light, exuding a murderous aura!

[Qilin Exclusive Skill: Fate Alteration]!

Ye Hua extended his index and middle fingers, like invisible scissors, cutting through the clouds of calamity.

The Lightning Tribulation's Fate Line drooped weakly, and the Snow Empress's life gradually warmed up.

Even the Lightning Tribulation that had not yet struck dissipated somewhat.

While the brewing Lightning Tribulation cannot be stopped, a new Lightning Tribulation will not occur.

Ice Empress stared blankly at Ye Hua.

She has lived for nearly 400,000 years, and this is the first time she has witnessed a change in the Lightning Tribulation!

"What are you standing there for?" Ye Hua said irritably. "If we don't block the third one, her cocoon will still explode!"

Ice Empress suddenly snapped back to reality.

The third bolt of lightning has struck.

Thanks to Ye Hua, Lei was significantly weakened.

Even so, its power is still terrifying.

The Ice Empress poured all his Soul Power into the formation, creating a powerful ice crystal shield that forcefully shattered the Lightning Tribulation in mid-air.

The ice crystals shattered, Ice Empress was sent flying, his back slamming into the ice wall and embedding himself several feet deep, his Soul Power exhausted.

The dark clouds had long since dissipated, revealing the warm sun shining through the ceiling that had been split open by lightning, making it feel pleasantly sunny.

Ye Hua rubbed his throbbing temples. "I changed the Snow Empress's fate. This Lightning Tribulation will return in ten years."

"Cough cough," Ice Empress barely managed to climb out of the ice pit, "Ten years later?"

Ye Hua nodded, and a warm golden light emanated from his palm.

[Qilin Exclusive Skill - Life Healing] Activated.

The Soul Beast's energy was mobilized and entered Ice Empress's body to help her recover.

"Thank you." Ice Empress transformed into human form and bowed to Ye Hua.

Ye Hua waved his hand, "It's alright, but the trouble isn't over yet."

"Yes," Ice Empress said with a wry smile, "I was severely injured after only three Lightning Tribulation, and you even weakened me Lightning Tribulation the third one!"

"There are still ten years left, Snow Empress can't possibly be ready!"

Ice Empress's brows furrowed deeply, and he sighed heavily.

Just when she was at her wit's end, the giant cocoon made a crisp sound.

Click.

Everyone turned their heads.

On the surface of the giant cocoon, cracks slowly spread, like a spider web.

A wave of cold air surged forth, the temperature plummeted, and even the Snow Tuan curled up into clumps.

As the top of the cocoon slipped off, long, glossy white hair was revealed inside.

Then comes the area between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the lips...

A baby face appeared from there.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pupils slowly opened.

"Xue'er!" Ice Empress rushed forward, "What happened to you!"

"Bingbing..." Snow Empress stroked her face, "Thank you for protecting me."

Ye Hua's lips twitched. The child was touching the adult's face, and the adult was looking at him with obvious enjoyment and dependence; it all seemed rather incongruous.

"Thank you too, Auspicious Beast." The Snow Empress looked at Ye Hua, "Otherwise, I would surely be dead today!"

Snow Empress's voice was still weak as Ice Empress lifted her out of the cocoon.

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "Speaking of which, what happened to you?"
