Distribution of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Tribulation, Loyal Little White.

Inside the Ice Crystal Palace, bitter cold swirled.

Fifty-seven pieces of ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow were neatly arranged upon the ice couch.

The Ice Emperor's golden eyes stared straight at them, her throat rolling, before she turned with difficulty to look at the Snow Emperor. Xuer, how... how should we split these things?

She craved these pieces of Mysterious Ice Marrow, but while fighting suited her, such delicate work as dividing items gave her a genuine headache.

The Snow Emperor's ice-blue eyes swept across the crystals, her gaze falling upon Beiming Lieyang, who was currently gnawing on some Void Mysterious Ice as a snack nearby. Xiaoyang, you found these items. You divide them.

Beiming Lieyang started, then shook his head. Snow Mom, you decide. What you and Ice Aunt give me is already more than enough.

External spirit bones, hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, heavenly treasures... My life was picked by you from an ice pit. A person cannot be insatiably greedy.

The Ice Emperor nodded repeatedly. Xuer, both I and Xiaoyang will listen to you.

The Snow Emperor was silent for a moment, then stroked Beiming Lieyang's head in gratification and nodded slightly. Very well.

Fifty-seven pieces, divided into three portions. I take eighteen, Binger fifteen, and the remaining twenty-four belong to you.

Snow Mom— Beiming Lieyang barely spoke before a raised hand stopped him.

Let me finish, the Snow Emperor said in a cool voice. The abilities of the Void Mysterious Ice will be exposed sooner or later. Even if deities cannot descend to the mortal realm, the continent still possesses the shrines of the Angel God and the Sea God, along with their High Priests.

We must cultivate a deity, and you are destined to fight against other inheritors in the future.

I and Binger must become stronger in order to guard the rear for you.

However, what remains is the nourishment for your growth. How could I not give you what you found?

The Ice Emperor turned rarely serious. That's right. In case a deity bestows divine power from afar, relying only on our current selves won't be enough to protect you.

Beiming Lieyang pushed back no further. Then out of what remains, give five pieces to Big Brother Xiaobai.

The two emperors of ice and snow started simultaneously.

That silly bear? The Ice Emperor blinked.

He has been exceptionally good to me these past years, sending heavenly treasures from time to time and finding valuables. My storage spirit tool is still piled high with them.

* Aside from Snow Mom and Ice Aunt, he cares for me the most. Besides, his strength increasing will also benefit the Far North.*

He paused, his gaze flickering slightly. And... I have other fortuitous encounters. Actually, I don't lack these.

There were plenty of fortuitous encounters left in Douluo I.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The Dragon Valley.

The Silver Dragon King of world-shaking wisdom.

Though her wisdom shook the world, there was no denying that fellow definitely had good treasures.

Right, there was also a certain million-year-old maggot!

That fellow might lack combat effectiveness, but no matter how one looked at it, he was still a million-year-old soul beast.

Besides, he still carried a Star of the Galaxy upon his body.

Within it lay the lifelong power of a Creation God, possessing the mighty strength to destroy and create universes.

His cheats were not few.

There was no need to scramble for resources with the two emperors of ice and snow; the stronger their strength, the firmer his own backing.

The Ice Emperor lunged closer abruptly, her golden eyes suspicious. What fortuitous encounters?

The resting place of two God King-level powerhouses.

God Kings?! The Ice Emperor's voice instantly pitched higher.

Ripples also stirred within the Snow Emperor's eyes.

Though they did not know the ranks of deities, the title of God King sounded immensely powerful simply upon hearing it.

Had both God Kings fallen?

Within Beiming Lieyang's palm, the Void Mysterious Ice floated upward, while behind his back, the phantom of the Solar Star God Apollo simultaneously emerged.

The place where the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King fell formed a blessed land—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I possess twin martial souls, one ice and one fire; that place is truly the most suitable location for me.

The Ice Emperor's mouth hung open for a long while before she turned to look at the Snow Emperor. Xuer... just what kind of freak did you pick up?

The Snow Emperor's gaze was complex. ...That sun in your dreams told you this?

Beiming Lieyang nodded.

The Ice Emperor burst out in exasperation. The sun told you about the Void Mysterious Ice cave in a dream, and then told you about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! You might as well just say you made your home on the sun!

She glanced sideways at Apollo's phantom and muttered, Solar Star God... you can boost all attributes by a hundred percent just by walking under the sun. Could you perhaps be the Sun God himself?!

Beiming Lieyang shrank closer into the Snow Emperor's embrace. Anyway... that's how it is.

The Snow Emperor reached out to stroke his head and smiled with doting fondness. Very well. Absorb these first. After the tribulation, I will accompany you for a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The Ice Emperor rubbed her hands. It's a deal then! I get fifteen, Xuer eighteen, and give a few to Xiaobai. Xiaobai, don't go regretting it later with an aching heart.

Beiming Lieyang flipped his hand and produced yet another pile of Void Mysterious Ice. I have an endless supply of this anyway.

Upon learning that he accumulated Void Mysterious Ice, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor gave him another dozen storage spirit tools.

They had already stored over a thousand chunks of Void Mysterious Ice.

If one were to fight someone,

there was simply no fear of exhausting spiritual power.

Spirit power entirely depleted?

Sigh, I pull out a piece of Void Mysterious Ice,

stuff it in, and my status is full again.

He could already imagine the bewildered expression of an enemy facing that.

The Ice Emperor glanced sideways, her nose suddenly turning somewhat sour.

Although the power contained within the Void Mysterious Ice was still rather meager at present, its quality was entirely no lesser than the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

It was just right for Beiming Lieyang to consume himself.

At this thought, the Ice Emperor felt her heart grow even more sour.

Others could eat heavenly treasures by the fistful—just think of the bitter days she used to live through!

Yet, as the proud ruler of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, she stiffly retorted, Fine, fine, you're amazing!

As she spoke, she scooped up the fifteen pieces of Mysterious Ice Marrow, her eyes shining as bright as if she were cradling a nest of golden eggs.

The Snow Emperor took out five pieces to reserve for Xiaobai, packing up the remaining nineteen and handing them to Beiming Lieyang.

Alright, Binger, go into seclusion.

Mm-mm.

The Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor spent several days in seclusion, absorbing the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow to strengthen their origins and comprehend the laws of ice.

Upon emerging from seclusion, the two brought Beiming Lieyang and the Ice Bear King Xiaobai deep into the Far North ice field.

Xiaobai grinned the entire way.

He had already missed Snow Mom and gathered some treasures to bring to his little brother, so he simply used the opportunity to make the trip.

Little did he know that the moment he saw Snow Mom, the other party directly handed him five pieces of ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Xiaobai froze on the spot.

He only knew vaguely from bloodline inheritance of such legendary supreme treasures, and this was the first time he had seen them with his own eyes.

Having existed for so many years in the Far North, the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow was already rare, let alone a full five pieces.

Once he calmed down, he learned that these five pieces had actually been ceded to him by Beiming Lieyang.

Xiaobai's heart burned fiercely, and he secretly swore to protect his little brother with everything he had.

Whether it was the winds and snows of the Far North or external threats, anyone wanting to touch his little brother would have to get past him first.

He remembered a bear cub in the tribe mentioning that a ruin had been discovered outside the core circle; he would have to go investigate it personally later, and if there were good items, they would just serve to add to his little brother's fortuitous encounters.

Deep within the Far North ice field.

Thunderclouds surged, silver-purple lightning snakes slithered, and pressure permeated the entire heaven and earth.

The Snow Emperor brought Beiming Lieyang to watch from afar, while Xiaobai shrank to the side with his bear fur standing on end.

Having survived his own twenty-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, he knew deeply how terrifying it was, yet the forty-thousand-year thunder tribulation drawn forth by the Ice Emperor possessed an even more terrifying might.

Little brother... Xiaobai lowered his voice. Ice Aunt's thunder tribulation is way too frightening.

Don't worry, Ice Aunt is prepared.

The Ice Emperor stood at the very center of the ice field, her emerald twin ponytails fluttering wildly in the fierce gale.

She raised her head to gaze up at the tribulation clouds, her aura erupting forth violently.

With a flip of her palm, several pieces of human-head-sized Void Mysterious Ice appeared.

Those were refined products that Beiming Lieyang had repeatedly tempered using massive amounts of spiritual power;

ordinary mysterious ice could only sustain a triple boost for half an hour, whereas these specially crafted ones could sustain four hours for someone of her level.

As the mysterious ice melted into her body, the Ice Emperor's aura soared violently, her attributes receiving a threefold boost across the board.

Her entire person resembled an awakened ancient glacier, her momentum causing the air to hum with pressure, and even Xiaobai in the distance shrank back further.

The five-colored thunder tribulation crashed down abruptly.

The first bolt, the second bolt, the third bolt...

The Ice Emperor stood unmoving, allowing the lightning to shatter and ice chips to fly in all directions.

Her physique, tempered by the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow, coupled with the threefold all-attribute blessing, allowed her to physically endure the destructive might of the forty-thousand-year thunder tribulation raw.

When the fourth bolt arrived, she began proactively welcoming the lightning, stretching her body within the lightning's radiance to use the heavenly tribulation to temper her meridians and bones.

After each lightning strike, her aura grew a fraction denser, and the temperature of her Ultimate Ice plunged lower once more, surpassing times past.

Over four hours later, the final bolt of lightning crashed down.

The Ice Emperor's figure dipped as half a footprint shattered the ice layer, and she threw back her head to swallow the lightning radiance into her body.

The tribulation clouds dispersed, and daylight rained down.

The foundation previously refined from the Mysterious Ice Marrow fed back comprehensively at this moment, her cultivation soaring from forty thousand years to forty-five thousand years.

The Ice Emperor snapped her eyes open, her golden eyes glowing startlingly bright.

With a flash of movement, she returned to the Snow Emperor's side and scooped Beiming Lieyang up, spinning him around twice.

Xiaobai— Ah, Xiaoyang, your Void Mysterious Ice is simply too powerful! A threefold boost to all attributes, and the forty-thousand-year thunder tribulation was like a light drizzle!

Xiaobai's bear jaws dropped, unable to close for a long time.

He turned his head to look at the Snow Emperor. Mom, the Void Mysterious Ice... gives a threefold boost to all attributes?

A smile held within the Snow Emperor's eyes as she looked at Xiaobai's white bear body, which had shrunk down to over a meter, and explained:

It's inside the storage spirit tool Xiaoyang gave you. The quality is the same as the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow. Although the currently contained energy isn't much and there's no way to increase cultivation by a large margin, the boosting effect is unquestionable.

Xiaobai lowered his head and activated his spirit tool, where over a dozen ice-blue crystals lay neatly arranged.

He blinked hard.

In the world of soul beasts, a healing-type with a fifty-percent group boost could be treated as a clan's core and offered up.

Let alone an attribute boost.

This was a percentage-based boost, where the stronger the strength, the greater the gain.

With this item, he could even grab Atai—who flowed with the blood of ancient ice gods and titans—and beat him up thoroughly.

He turned to look at Beiming Lieyang, stunned for a moment before his expression shifted from shock to excitement, and finally to awkwardness.

Little brother, I... I don't even know how to repay the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow, and now you're giving me this too...

Beiming Lieyang waved a hand. Big brother, just keep it. I have plenty more here.

Plenty?! Xiaobai's eyes widened round.

Beiming Lieyang raised a hand and condensed another piece of human-head-sized mysterious ice, tossing it over.

This was condensed during the current stage; the sustained duration is short and the energy is low. It's insufficient to serve as backup energy for high-level beings, and can only maintain the boosted state.

Xiaobai caught it, compared it with the ones inside his spirit tool, and said with utter disbelief, Did you really produce this yourself, little brother?

The Ice Emperor was full of pride. Of course! Xiaoyang's martial soul is precisely this, and it grows along with the improvement of his strength.

It can increase cultivation just like the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow, and it can also heal injuries and replenish spirit power!

A tumultuous wave churned within Xiaobai's heart.

Did that not mean that his little brother was a walking ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice cave?

No, even more terrifying than that!

The ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice cave required the earth to nurture it for countless ages to produce mysterious ice marrow, yet his little brother could manufacture it anytime and anywhere!

He carefully put the mysterious ice back into his spirit tool, as if touching a rare and peerless treasure.

Then he took a deep breath, slapped his bear palm against his chest, and looked earnestly at Beiming Lieyang.

Little brother, from now on, whenever anyone looks for trouble with you, I'll be the first to charge in.

No matter what their cultivation or background is, if I, Xiaobai, frown even a bit, I am no longer your big brother!

Beiming Lieyang smiled and declined no further.

In this era of Douluo I, spirit masters did not yet possess spirit cores and their strength was relatively weak; a seventy-thousand-year soul beast was already comparable to a newly breakthrough Title Douluo.

Big Brother Xiaobai's strength would soar even further after absorbing the ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow; this was a super Douluo-level bodyguard.

As he was thinking, the Snow Emperor transformed into a streak of light that plunged into the center of the ice field, her aura shooting into the skies as the tribulation clouds condensed once more.

The second tribulation had begun.
