That Look... Who Are You Looking Down On?!
"Oh?" Bo Saixi was a little surprised. These two women, both stunning in appearance and temperament, could they be the Great Enshrined friends that Yu Tianshuang had mentioned? So they were women. No wonder they were so eager to leave when they were just one move away. After scanning the two women back and forth, his gaze finally settled on Xue Di, who was clearly closer to the Great Enshrined Snow Empress in terms of height, appearance, and the aura and strength she exuded.
"Not bad... Judging from your appearance, you and Yu Tianshuang are about the same age. Although you have obtained the authority of the Great Enshrined, it is very impressive to have reached level 98 at such a young age. After leaving the temple, and since I did not sense any similar aura on you, that little guy must have succeeded. Very good!"
Bo Saixi's words left the two somewhat confused, especially Ice Empress, who wasn't good at thinking things through. She tilted her head slightly and asked Snow Empress beside her, "What does this woman mean? How did she know we left the Ice and Snow Divine Hall?"
Snow Empress was speechless. Just a moment ago, she was giving her a well-reasoned lecture, but now she's turned into that silly girl again. If she weren't on high alert right now, she would have really wanted to give her a good whack. But the woman in front of her was unfathomably strong, and she clearly knew Yu Tianshuang. Judging from her arrogant demeanor, she was an enemy, not a friend.
"We both participated in the temple trials at the Ice and Snow Divine Hall, but so much time has passed, yet she can still sense the temple's aura on us and accurately say that we left the temple. Plus, she just used the term ' Great Enshrined friend'... She must have mistaken me for Shui Yue'er... I remember the profound water attribute she possesses. Not long ago, Yu Tianshuang rushed back to the Far North, heading in the same direction as this woman. He had a lot of water attribute aura left from the battle on him, though very faint. But from the unique connection between us, I still sensed it. She... must have fought Yu Tianshuang, and he was no match for him, so he fled rapidly. Now this woman has chased after him..."
Listening to Snow Empress's logical analysis, and recalling the recent events at the Ice and Snow Divine Hall, Ice Empress pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing, "I remember now! This woman is Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island. Yu Tianshuang went to Sea God Island on a mission recently to stop Tang San from becoming a god. It seems she couldn't persuade her, so they fought. You're right, even if Yu Tianshuang is incredibly talented, she couldn't possibly defeat the Great Enshrined holds the authority of the Sea God in the ocean. What you saw that day was probably Yu Tianshuang escaping to the Ice and Snow Divine Hall to recover. But this woman is truly audacious; away from the sea, she's just an ordinary level 99 Limit Douluo. Get rid of her!"
Bo Saixi patiently waited for them to whisper and discuss, but when they finished and didn't speak to her, instead looking at her with hostility, she knew they might have misunderstood something. She explained, "Are you finished talking? You are Shui Yue'er, right? Can you tell me what Yu Tianshuang told you? Do you know the significance of your identity? And... the person next to you... wouldn't happen to be the new... um... the successor of the Ice God?"
"Hey! What's with that look? What's wrong with me? Is there anything wrong with me being the successor of the Ice God? Huh? Xuexue, I feel discriminated against..." Ice Empress was furious when she saw Bo Saixi looking at her with disbelief and confusion. Even though she wasn't the successor of the Ice God, why was Poseidon so certain that Xue'er was the Great Enshrined, but when it came to her, she gave her this look? What was wrong with her? Was she really that unreliable...?
"Um... don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. Well... maybe every god has different methods and standards for choosing their successor... I was just being too one-sided and superficial... actually..."
"Bang!"
Ice Empress was truly enraged by Bo Saixi's well-intentioned explanation. Insult, utterly insulting... Hyotei didn't want to hear another word from this arrogant woman. Instantly, Ice Empress unleashed her Soul Power and charged forward, the huge ice claws enveloping her small fist slamming fiercely towards Bo Saixi.
"Wave..."
This fierce blow struck the water wall that Bo Saixi had casually tossed in front of him, creating ripples. But only for a moment, the water wall froze and shattered. "Oh?" That's right. This power, although far less intense than that little guy Yu Tianshuang's, was undoubtedly the Ultimate Ice, capable of freezing his water wall instantly.
"Damn! This silly girl, I'm speechless..."
Helpless, Snow Empress could only raise her hand to create several ice walls to protect the children not far away from the aftershocks of their battle, and then she flew over to catch Ice Empress who was swept back by Bo Saixi's water waves.
"One is level 96, the other level 98, very impressive. But if you want to fight me, even though we're on Earth, the majesty of a level 99 Limit Douluo is not something you can touch. I'll explain this to you one last time: the successor of the Ice God. I don't mean to look down on or mock you at all. It's just that as another god's representative on Earth, it's a bit of a surprise. I don't know your god, and I don't know the Ice God's criteria for choosing a successor. Do you understand?"
For Bo Saixi, who had long held a high position, it was already quite remarkable that she had the patience to say these words. However, to the Ice and Snow Empresses, her words were full of threat and sarcasm, especially when paired with Bo Saixi's haughty attitude and indifferent expression, which seemed more like an ultimatum.
"Xue'er, what should we do? Level 99 is definitely not something we can handle, she's too strong. I take back what I just said about messing with her..." The heavy waves felt like a giant boulder, making Ice Empress realize the huge gap in strength.
"It's confirmed to be Bo Saixi, the high priestess of Sea God Island. Although she's on land, her level 99 strength is beyond our capabilities. However, we can't let her go after Shui Yue'er. Even in the Far North, I'm worried Shui Yue'er might not be able to defeat her, considering she's only recently inherited the authority of the Great Enshrined..."
Ice Empress was originally Ferocious Beast had existed for 390,000 years. After becoming human, his strength increased even further. He not only reached level 95, but also broke through to level 96 during his training in the Ice and Snow Divine Hall. Snow Empress's strength, on the other hand, remained at level 98 when she first became human. For a level 99 Limit Douluo, there was no difference between level 98 and level 91. The difference in strength between each level after level 95 was extremely exaggerated.
"Contact Yu Tianshuang. He was able to fight her in the ocean and only escaped wounded. With him on our side, we should have a chance of winning. Now we only need to worry about two things..."
"That's right! Contact Yu Tianshuang and have him call Shui Bing'er over too. I refuse to believe we can't beat her on land. Xue'er, what do we have to worry about?"
"..."
Snow Empress glanced helplessly at Ice Empress, and said speechlessly, "How much has Yu Tianshuang's injury recovered? And... can the two of us hold out against her until Yu Tianshuang arrives...?"
