"Hmph!" Facing the Heavenly Tribulation hurtling down from the sky, the Ice Empress paid it no heed. She snorted softly and abruptly readied her delicate hand for a palm strike.
"Ice Emperor's Wrath!!!"
The Ice Empress cried out softly and thrust her palm toward the silver lightning hurtling down from the sky.
The next instant, her slender body slowly began to glow.
Then an emerald-green pillar of light condensed before her and shot toward the descending bolt of lightning.
Boom!!!
The two collided with a deafening roar, and violently surging soul power swept outward from the point of impact.

As though sensing the Ice Empress's provocation, the lightning vortex in the sky immediately began churning, peal after peal of thunder ringing out.
Crack!!!
In an instant, a lightning bolt several times thicker than the previous one formed within the vortex, then came hurtling down toward the Ice Empress again.
"Ice Empress's Claw!"
"Ice Emperor's Protection!"
"Profound Ice Strangulation!"
Facing the Heavenly Tribulation's relentless descending bolts, the Ice Empress countered each one calmly, showing not the slightest sign of fatigue.
About an hour later, the final bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation fell. The pitch-black clouds slowly dispersed, revealing the blue sky that had long been hidden.
"Wow! I did it! I successfully survived my four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation!"
The Ice Empress clenched her little fists, sensing that her cultivation had finally reached four hundred thousand years,
