Snow Empress Takes Action! Emperor's Palm: Great Cold Without Snow! Ye Lingling Is Stunned

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Led by Ye Lingling, Snow Empress arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ye Lingling said that her Soul Power had reached level thirty, the level of a Soul Elder, and that she needed to hunt a soul beast to advance.

Snow Empress readily agreed to accompany her.

Along the way, she had also noticed that Ye Lingling treated people rather well.

Though her personality was somewhat aloof, it was actually quite similar to Snow Empress's own.

Snow Empress had always stood above the rest as the foremost of the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North. Her temperament was icy, and she too had a detached nature.

Perhaps because of that, the two got along extremely well during their journey.

Of course, Ye Lingling did not know Snow Empress's true identity, much less her terrifying strength.

In her view, Snow Empress was heading to Skywater Academy in order to join Skywater.

"Up ahead is the Star Dou Great Forest. There are countless soul beasts inside, and with my strength, I can only move around its outermost region."

"If we're lucky, we should find our target soon. Stay close to me, and don't make any noise."

"There are many ten-thousand-year soul beasts in this forest. I've even heard there are terrifying hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."

"If we run into one, we'd be cursed for eight lifetimes."

"But if we stay in the outer region, the chances of encountering a ten-thousand-year soul beast are very low, much less a hundred-thousand-year one!"

Ye Lingling glanced at Snow Empress and gave her a solemn reminder.

Hearing this, Snow Empress nodded lightly. She understood that Ye Lingling was treating her like Xiao Bai.

Still, she did not mind. Instead, she found it rather nice to maintain this sense of mystery.

"Let's go!"

The two did not linger and headed into the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Can you really complete the soul hunt on your own?"

As they walked, Snow Empress suddenly asked.

Ye Lingling paused at that, her expression turning somewhat grave as she replied,

"As long as the soul beast isn't too strong, it shouldn't be a problem."

"If I need your help then, I hope you won't hesitate to lend a hand."

"Of course, if we run into a soul beast that's too strong, don't worry about me. Just run for your life!"

Snow Empress nodded lightly and answered coolly, "All right."

The two continued onward.

After traveling some distance, Ye Lingling, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.

"There's movement ahead!"

Ye Lingling said in a low voice, immediately becoming alert.

Snow Empress, who followed behind her, appeared entirely unconcerned.

With her strength, she had long sensed the disturbance ahead.

Yet she did not warn Ye Lingling. She also wanted to see how Ye Lingling would react in the face of danger.

Boom! Boom!

A violent commotion suddenly erupted from the woods ahead.

Right after that, a Titan Giant Ape came crashing out.

The Titan Giant Ape had a towering body, a massive frame, and bulging muscles.

Its entire body was covered in brown fur, making it look exceptionally ferocious.

The moment it charged out, it spotted Ye Lingling and Snow Empress.

The next instant, the giant ape's face twisted into a terrifying snarl. Its eyes flashed like lightning, radiating savage intent.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the giant ape, Ye Lingling's face went pale with shock, her expression filled with despair.

"It... it's a ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape!!"

She spoke in a daze, her head buzzing as her mind went completely blank.

She had never imagined that, despite merely moving through the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, she would encounter a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Roar! Roar!

At that moment, the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape suddenly let out an enraged roar.

Its terrifying cry shook the surrounding trees so violently that they swayed wildly!

Ye Lingling's heart leaped into her throat at the sight.

Then, the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape began wildly swinging its powerful arms, its sharp claws seeming ready to tear everything apart.

"Gulp!"

Ye Lingling could not stop herself from swallowing.

Then she suddenly spread her arms and shielded Snow Empress behind her.

"Run! I'll hold it off first!"

Ye Lingling cried out urgently, telling Snow Empress to flee first.

"Run?"

Snow Empress was slightly startled, her brows full of confusion.

As the foremost of the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, how could she possibly flee from a mere ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape?

Moreover, Ye Lingling's actions earned Snow Empress's appreciation.

With Ye Lingling's level-thirty Soul Power, she stood no chance against a ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape.

Yet even so, she still chose to protect Snow Empress, intending to fight to the death and buy her a sliver of hope to escape.

Snow Empress could not help but be moved.

I didn't expect this little girl to value loyalty and affection so much!

Snow Empress sighed inwardly.

"Why are you still standing there? Run already! Do you want to die here?"

Seeing that Snow Empress had not moved, Ye Lingling grew anxious.

At the same time, the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape had already charged toward Ye Lingling, swinging its powerful arm.

Seeing this, Ye Lingling clenched her teeth.

With a thought, she hurriedly summoned her martial soul.

But unfortunately, her martial soul was the Nine Heart Begonia. Though it was a Tool Martial Soul, its only specialty was healing.

Even so, Ye Lingling still chose to charge at the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape.

Bang!

As the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape swung its arm, its terrifying force was like a surging river.

Seeing Snow Empress still standing where she was, Ye Lingling looked up at her in disbelief.

She could not understand why Snow Empress was not running.

Before Ye Lingling could think further, the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape charged over again with brutal force, its steps shaking the mountains and earth!

It's over!!

Ye Lingling looked on in utter despair. She was a support-type Soul Master—how could she possibly be a match for this ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape?

In less than a few breaths, the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape had reached them.

Then its enormous body suddenly leaped up and came crashing down with the force of a thousand jun.

If it hit her, she would likely be turned into a puddle of flesh on the spot.

Ye Lingling wanted to get up, but she had no strength left in her body and could not move at all.

I'm going to die!

Ye Lingling let out a bitter sigh, thinking that she likely would not escape death this time.

But at that critical moment, Snow Empress, who stood to one side, gave a cold smile.

Boom!

A peerlessly terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from her body.

Emperor's Palm: Great Cold Without Snow!

Before Ye Lingling could react to what was happening, Snow Empress had already flashed into the air and thrust a palm directly toward the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape falling from above.

As her palm struck out, a dense chill spread through the air, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Countless snowflakes began drifting down from the sky.

Bang!

The next second, an earth-shattering explosion rang out overhead.

When Ye Lingling looked again, the ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape had been blasted into icy fragments by Snow Empress's palm!

"Ah?"

Ye Lingling stared in utter disbelief, completely stunned!
