The person under the cloak turned her head, looking toward the figure that had suddenly appeared behind her.
"Why?"
"Approaching someone else's belongings rashly is never a good idea, right? What if it gets damaged?"
"Is this your thing?"
"Of course."
The person who had appeared nearby was none other than Lin Xiao. Although the Eternal Tower was located deep within the extreme northern lands, it was still his possession. Even while out in the ice sea, once he drew closer to the continent, he could sense the powerful aura approaching the Eternal Tower.
And when he arrived near the Eternal Tower, he confirmed his earlier suspicion. Although the sea soul beast aura on the figure beneath the cloak was not obvious, it was still not enough to deceive him.
"Hmph, your thing…" The "person" under the cloak let out a cold snort. "It won't be for much longer."
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Lin Xiao to respond, that person had already raised a hand to attack.
Vaguely, Lin Xiao seemed to hear the sound of ocean waves, just like what he had often heard these past days while on the sea surface.
In the next instant, Lin Xiao understood that this was not an illusion; when his opponent made her move, the power of the vast sea truly surged along with her actions.
For a moment, Lin Xiao even thought of Chen Haisheng. When fighting above the great sea, Chen Haisheng could similarly summon the ocean to resonate with him.
He had encountered many sea soul beasts. Although they lived in the sea, each had its own characteristics. This was the first time he had met one that could wield the power of the ocean to such a degree.
Lin Xiao showed no fear and likewise raised his hand to meet the attack. In an instant, the aura of the surrounding ocean vanished completely, replaced by an icy, deathly silence.
Almost immediately, the entire world had changed color. The Eternal Tower trembled slightly, its gray-white light becoming even more dazzling as it continuously resonated with the aura on Lin Xiao's body.
Although the Eternal Tower had other functions and could not be used lightly, it had been crafted for him by Electrolux after all. It did not require deliberate activation; merely exerting power near it allowed him to feel the assistance it provided.
After breaking through to the limit, the world was no longer as immovable to Lin Xiao as before. When he took action, the environment would also become more favorable to him.
The person under the cloak frowned slightly. Lin Xiao's power had clearly exceeded her expectations. Seeing the changes in the Eternal Tower, she also understood that Lin Xiao had not been lying, this tower truly belonged to him.
"Boom—"
Lin Xiao and the person under the cloak did not even make physical contact. The mere collision of their powers caused the entire snow plain to shake violently. The thick accumulated snow vanished instantly under this clash of forces, and even the ice layer beneath the snow was hollowed out in a large area.
The land in the extreme northern region, which had been covered year-round by ice and snow, finally revealed its true appearance that outsiders had never seen, the frozen soil permeated by the extreme northern cold.
However, at this moment, neither of the two who had just clashed had any spare attention to spare for what the land beneath the ice and snow actually looked like. The person under the cloak had completely changed expression.
Although she had not yet used her full strength, humans capable of so easily receiving her attack were equally few and far between.
On the other side, Lin Xiao had also determined the opponent's identity from that power.
On the Douluo Continent, the number of top experts was actually limited. Especially for Lin Xiao, who possessed memories from his previous life, although he had not necessarily seen some famous and named experts with his own eyes, he had heard more or less about their deeds.
Even in the vast sea where sea soul beasts were countless, sea soul beasts possessing such power would not be too many.
Moreover, right after encountering the matter of the Abyss Plane's Spirit Emperor and Evil Emperor making contact, this soul beast had so "coincidentally" appeared near the Eternal Tower. This left Lin Xiao with no choice but to think more deeply.
Previously, when he had heard about soul beasts in the sea using other sea soul beasts for blood sacrifices, Lin Xiao had already had some considerations. And now, this completely confirmed his guess.
In his memories from his previous life, only the name "Demon Empress" could match the power and experiences of the soul beast before him.
Lin Xiao did not know too many details from ten thousand years later, but major events such as the Abyss invasion and the Demon Empress's revenge were still roughly known to him.
The original Holy Spirit Cult had not been completely eradicated. The Great Elder had led the remaining evil soul masters to flee overseas, later finding her "master," the Demon Empress. Only then did the subsequent cooperation between the Demon Empress and the Holy Spirit Cult come about.
Although there were no clear and specific records of the Demon Empress's actions, being able to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult while harboring hatred toward humans and sea soul beasts, one could guess a few things.
Combined with her strength, it was only a matter of time before she was targeted by the Abyss Plane.
And her appearance near the Eternal Tower was probably not merely a coincidence…
It was just unknown to what extent her current cooperation with the Abyss Plane had reached.
As thoughts surged in his mind, Lin Xiao slightly raised his head and glanced at the Eternal Tower.
Although the Abyss Plane had bypassed this place and made contact with some soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, the Demon Empress's appearance here indicated that his previous arrangements had still produced some effect.
He boldly guessed that the location where the Abyss Plane intended to open the planar passage should be the extreme northern lands, where space was thin and permeated with a bloody and slaughterous aura.
And the Demon Empress, finding this place was probably also in preparation for opening the planar passage later.
While Lin Xiao was pondering, the Demon Empress did not pause for long because of his strength. After one strike failed, another attack came surging forth.
She raised her hands, and streaks of purple light appeared out of thin air, intertwining with each other to form patterns resembling a magic array. In the next instant, a thick beam of light shot out fiercely from that magic array.
Before the light beam even arrived, terrifying power already burst forth from it. Wherever it passed, nothing was left behind; everything was utterly destroyed.
The vast snow plain, and even the clouds in the sky, turned into a stretch of purple in that instant.
In the distance, the Abomination had still not let go of the Demon Empress, who had just asked him for directions earlier. He did not know who the other party was, but seeing her heading toward the Eternal Tower, he still followed somewhat uneasily.
However, he had only just seen the body of the Eternal Tower when, before he could get closer, he saw the entire sky completely turn into a stretch of purple.
The wind and snow that never ceased on the snow plain instantly dissipated. The snowflakes still drifting in the air also paused for a moment at this time.
Then, an even more terrifying power completely covered the purple that filled the sky.
Sensing this power, the Abomination was not alarmed but delighted. He hurriedly looked down toward the base of the Eternal Tower.
"Cult Master?"
That familiar power, he naturally would not mistake it. For a moment, the speed beneath his feet increased by several degrees.
However, by the time he rushed to the bottom of the Eternal Tower, there was no trace of anyone else there. Apart from the marks left on the ground and the terrifying aura that had yet to fully dissipate, there was nothing else.
