Snow Empress's Sacrifice, Two Orange-Gold Fierce Beast Soul Rings

The Jade Palm made contact, and Extreme Cold Power invaded Golden Crocodile Douluo's heart like maggots burrowing into bone.

Great Cold Without Snow, unleashed by Snow Empress at the peak of rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo, was more than the rank ninety-eight Golden Crocodile Douluo could withstand.

"Y-you..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stared in horror at the woman before him, who looked like an ice-and-snow spirit.

He had never expected that seemingly weightless palm strike to contain such terrifying power!

He wanted to speak, only to find that no sound would come from his throat.

The ice element contained within Snow Empress's palm strike was now madly eroding Golden Crocodile Douluo's body, starting with his heart before spreading to all his other internal organs!

In just an instant, Golden Crocodile Douluo's body had completely turned into lifeless ice.

"Crack. Crack."

Snow Empress turned and left. The instant she did, the ice shattered with a crash, transforming into fragments of Ice Flowers that remained forever in the Far North.

With a casual gesture of her hand, four Soul Bones of different colors shot out from the shattered ice.

Elsewhere, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two Titled Douluo with the lowest cultivation in this battle, were tightly trapped by the Titan Snow Demon King.

"Old Ghost, if one of us can survive, then let it be one of us! I'll hold this beast back later. You get out of here!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo knew he was no match for it. If they wanted to escape, one of them had to stay behind and cover the other's retreat!

"Chrysanthemum Guan, you..."

Yet Yue Guan ignored him and directly used his remaining Soul Power to unleash his strongest soul skill!

"Ninth Soul Skill! Withered Chrysanthemum, Wounds Cover the Ground, Flowers Fall and Hearts Break!"

At that moment, endless golden petals around Chrysanthemum Douluo instantly enveloped nearly half of the Titan Snow Demon King's body. However...

"I never thought filthy, vile humans like you could possess loyalty? Whatever! Ice Emperor's Wrath!"

At some point, Ice Empress had already arrived beside him and Ghost Douluo. Emerald Green radiance erupted directly from her body!

"No! You can't!"

At that instant, Ghost Douluo erupted with terrifying Soul Power fluctuations, and the ninth Soul Ring behind him flashed with a savage gleam.

"Ninth Soul Skill! Hell Wraith!"

However, all techniques were utterly useless before absolute strength. The instant their ninth soul skills touched the Emerald Green radiance erupting from Ice Empress, they shattered.

In only an instant, the two of them were frozen into a pair of ice sculptures.

"Boom!!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!!"

The sound of the ice shattering as it hit the ground became the final echo of their lives.

Yet at that moment, the drop of purple-black energy left behind by the Rakshasa God somehow appeared beside Snow Empress.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, that tiny drop of condensed liquid exploded beside Snow Empress, though the energy it contained was not particularly powerful.

However, the energy released by its explosion triggered the six-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Power within Snow Empress, and the sky turned a deathly black!

But Snow Empress seemed to have expected this. She looked at Ice Empress with an exceptionally calm gaze.

"Bing Er, don't let any of our Far North people come within thirty li of me."

Snow Empress spoke softly, but when Ice Empress saw the pitch-black sky, she already knew what Snow Empress was about to endure.

Yet she could not understand it. Snow Empress still had at least ten thousand years before her limit!

"Xue Er, why..."

Ice Empress's eyes had reddened. She and Snow Empress had lived together for a hundred thousand years.

Seeing Snow Empress about to face a Thunder Tribulation that she simply could not survive, Ice Empress felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

"My heavenly tribulation was triggered early by that despicable god. Bing Er, take Xiao Bai and the others away first. Although the chance of getting through this limit is slim, I still have a backup plan."

Before they realized it, ten minutes had passed.

As the sixth bolt of black lightning, comparable to the peak of a Limit Douluo, descended, Snow Empress's aura had already become extremely weak.

Even amid the ice and snow of the Far North, the speed at which her Soul Power recovered was nowhere near enough to offset the damage from forcibly enduring the Thunder Tribulation!

And now, the final and strongest seventh Thunder Tribulation had taken shape. The world-destroying lightning contained within it was infinitely close to the godly level!

Soul Beasts faced ten heavenly tribulations, each one a higher level than the last.

Survive the heavenly tribulation, and one's strength would increase while one's bloodline absorbed the power of the Thunder Tribulation and underwent sublimation. Fail it, and one would die and vanish from existence!

Yet at that moment, another figure had somehow arrived less than fifty meters in front of Snow Empress.

That's right, it was Luo Zixi!

Ten minutes earlier—

"Luo Zixi, what level are you now?"

Snow Empress sent him a private voice transmission, and upon hearing it, Luo Zixi understood what she was thinking.

"Level fifty-six. But I only have four rings right now, and I'm still missing a fifth one."

That was right. Snow Empress had discussed it with him before—if she was unable to survive this Thunder Tribulation, she would directly sacrifice herself to Luo Zixi.

That way, she could preserve her soul, just like the people Ice God had mentioned who relied on another to become gods and gain eternal life.

"Ah... I never thought that after diligently guarding Lord Ice God's temple for so many years, I would still end up being annihilated beneath this sky-full of Thunder Tribulation."

Her voice was filled with unwillingness, yet there was nothing she could do.

Seeing Luo Zixi arrive before her, Snow Empress turned back to look at the Thunder Tribulation that had already gathered terrifying power.

"So be it. Soul Beasts cannot become gods... what an overbearing rule."

With a soft sigh, her body suddenly erupted with golden-red radiance!

"Buzz!"

Following the hum, a golden thread instantly connected Luo Zixi and Snow Empress.

Immediately afterward, a golden-red barrier enveloped them both.

Looking at Snow Empress standing so close to him, Luo Zixi revealed an apologetic, bitter smile.

"I'll preserve your soul, and one day in the future, I'll revive you."

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Snow Empress merely nodded silently.

Snow Empress had witnessed Luo Zixi's abilities. After all, he had even managed to save the Ice Spirit Dragon when its soul had been so weak—let alone her.

"In that case, accept my sacrifice. After all, I also want to see what kind of place this so-called God Realm is in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, the power of Snow Empress's 700,000-year cultivation began pouring into Luo Zixi's body!

The terrifying Silent Extinction Lightning gathered in the sky suddenly crashed down, but a heavenly tribulation of this level was utterly unable to break through the energy barrier created by Snow Empress's sacrifice!

At that moment, the Soul Power within Luo Zixi's body, as he accepted Snow Empress's sacrifice, began to soar!

Level fifty-seven

Level fifty-eight

Level sixty-four

Level sixty-five!

Level sixty-six!

After a quarter of an hour, Luo Zixi's Soul Power had risen by a full ten levels as he accepted Snow Empress's sacrifice!

Ding! Detected the sacrifice of Snow Empress, a 700,000-year Ferocious Beast.
