Just as Shattered Star Douluo's Ninth Soul Ring lit up, the entire sky was suddenly enveloped in emerald light.
The suspended star-shaped ice sculptures reflected an eerie halo, and the oppressive aura of a 400,000-year-old Ferocious Beast crashed down like the sky collapsing!
"Click--"
The Shattered Star Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar instantly collapsed, and under immense pressure, he couldn't help but spit out a spurt of blood.
"This... this emperor?"
"Could it be... could it be the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North?!"
Upon realizing this, Shattered Star Douluo immediately abandoned the God Sealing Altar and turned to run away.
Are you kidding me? That's the legendary Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
Everyone who saw him is dead.
He didn't want to die here because of his curiosity.
No matter how curious he was about the appearance of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, he dared not waste any time escaping.
As a Level 95 Super Douluo, he wouldn't have survived this long if he didn't have some escape methods.
He completely ignored everything, threw away the God Sealing Altar, and left the scene with a whoosh.
Their escape speed was unmatched, even by Toji.
I was stunned.
" Super Douluo is indeed Super Douluo, even his escape speed is this fast."
A moment later, Ice Empress descended from the sky with Di Qiu'er. After seeing Shattered Star Douluo flee without looking back, she snorted coldly.
"You run pretty fast."
Di Qiu'er flashed to Toji's side, her beautiful eyes sweeping over his battered body. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly stepped forward, raising her hand to channel her Soul Power into his body to help heal him. She sneered as she spoke:
"Didn't I tell you to keep him in check? Are you just showing off again?"
Toji blood-stained fingers hooked onto the hem of her clothes, and he couldn't help but say:
"If you had come any later... you would have only been able to collect my corpse, or perhaps witness me running away."
"This human too!"
Ice Empress suddenly turned around, looked at Toji, and attacked him while asking him a question.
Di Qiu'er suddenly looked up, stood directly in front of Toji, and opened her arms:
"Stop! He's not an enemy!"
"He's our ally. Don't forget, if he hadn't helped hold that human powerhouse back, he probably would have already escaped with the God Sealing Altar and returned to the human world. Even if you're the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, you probably wouldn't be able to get it back."
As soon as Di Qiu'er finished speaking, Ice Empress's jade tail hook suddenly stopped three inches away from Di Qiu'er's brow.
"Ally?"
" Auspicious Beast, how dare you say that mere humans are allies of us Soul Beast?"
"Have you fallen so low, even you?"
Ice Empress found it difficult to create a passageway.
Instead of retreating, Di Qiu'er advanced, her Eye of Destiny blazing with golden light, and her Ultimate Mental Attribute began to erupt in full force.
" Ice Empress, do you know what I saw in fate?"
"In a few years, when your time is up, you will voluntarily become the Wisdom Soul Ring of a weak human child."
Ice Empress said coldly:
"... Even if you are Emperor Auspicious Beast, I'm starting to wonder if you've gone mad and are spouting nonsense."
"Well, I'm not good with words either, it seems there's no way to solve this problem through verbal communication."
Di Qiu'er's expression also turned cold. She took a deep breath, and her Ultimate Mental Attribute gradually enveloped Ice Empress.
"Open your mind, don't resist, I'll share with you everything I've seen..."
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress hesitated.
But after careful consideration, she realized that the difference in cultivation levels between the two was too great. Even if she opened her mind, Di Qiu'er wouldn't be able to hurt her.
Therefore, Ice Empress accepted the Spiritual Power transfer from Di Qiu'er.
Soon, Ice Empress saw all the scenes and memories that Di Qiu'er had witnessed.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Ice Empress's emerald tail hook trembled violently, its compound eyes reflecting the image transmitted by Di Qiu'er:
Right there in the Far North, he willingly became that blue-haired boy's Soul Ring...
Worst of all, even her Snow Empress, because she was sealed by humans, was transported to the human base and ultimately suffered the fate of becoming someone else's Soul Ring.
"This is... my future?" Ice Empress's voice showed obvious signs of wavering.
Beads of sweat appeared on Di Qiu'er's forehead, and she stopped the Eye of Destiny.
"It's not just you; my future is even worse than yours. I might even lose my life."
"That's why I sought out this human to cooperate with, in an attempt to escape my fate," Di Qiu'er said, glancing at Toji Er.
"This person possesses the ability to defy fate; his special ability is such that even the God King who controls our destinies in the heavens cannot perceive his existence."
"If you continue in the same way, although you will ascend to godhood along with the chosen ones of this era, you will still inevitably become one of the God King's puppets."
"Would you rather obediently become someone else's puppets, or join us in conquering the Divine Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress lowered their head and remained silent.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that it made her feel severely uncomfortable.
" Qiu'er, don't force them."
Toji, who was behind Di Qiu'er, suddenly spoke up.
"Shut up, leave this to me." Di Qiu'er's forehead began to sweat as she looked at Ice Empress, her delicate body tense.
She was genuinely afraid that Ice Empress might kill Shinji if Toji took a dislike to him.
Then all hope was extinguished.
It would have been better not to awaken at all.
"I told you, don't force them, that's not the solution." Toji shook her head. "Let me handle it."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, ignoring his injuries, and looked at Ice Empress:
"Hello, Ice Empress, I have information on the whereabouts of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Would you be interested?"
"What did you say? Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow?!"
Ice Empress suddenly raised their heads and looked at Toji in disbelief.
If she possessed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, the Ice Empress could easily survive the next Great Tribulation and break through to a cultivation level of 500,000 years without any problem.
And Snow Empress...
"We don't force you to stand with us and rebel against the God King in the heavens, but we only ask that this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is worth it in exchange for your help a few times."
Ice Empress felt much better after hearing this.
"If you truly possess the whereabouts of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and I obtain it, then it is only right that I help you, human."
"But, the matter of the Snow Empress being sealed away..."
As they spoke, everyone's gaze fell upon the God Sealing Altar, which had been abandoned by Shattered Star Douluo.
"Don't force it, or you'll hurt the Snow Empress inside," Toji said, looking at the Ice Empress.
" The Snow Empress is currently in its embryonic stage and cannot withstand your destructive power."
"I know." The Ice Empress took a deep breath and, using a gentler method, slowly broke through the God Sealing Altar.
"Click--"
The God Sealing Altar cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns, and then wisps of white energy slowly emerged from the God Sealing Altar.
