Chapter 46 The Ice Bear King Sacrifices Shui Bing'er.
The seventeen-year-old Quasi-Soul Douluo, Snow Empress, dressed in pristine white, gazed at Xiao Bai's figure on the light screen, her eyes filled with affection.
"Xiao Bai, well done! Thirty-six hundred thousand years, you finally haven't let me and Ice Empress down."
Ice Empress stood to the side, a rare smile on her face, and patted Xiao Bai's shoulder.
"Not bad, now your 'Ice Bear Blizzard' range has increased by another two thousand meters. In terms of large-scale combat power, no one in the far north can match you."
"Moreover, in terms of age, you're not much worse than me."
Ice Empress has nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation, while Xiao Bai, having received the ranking reward, is now close to three hundred and ninety thousand years old, which is already very strong.
Titan Snow Demon King snorted, his tone carrying a hint of resentment, yet unable to hide his approval.
"Hmph, this silly bear didn't disgrace the Far North at all. But don't get too cocky."
Little White, standing forty meters tall, its long white fur shimmering with dazzling silver light, its pale blue pupils filled with excitement, bowed respectfully to the Ice and Snow Emperors.
"Thank you, Godmother, thank you, Ice Emperor! If it weren't for your guidance, plus the 80,000 years of cultivation reward from the Heavenly Ranking, Little White wouldn't have reached its current 360,000 years!"
It felt the surging power within its body; the range of "Ice Bear Blizzard" soared from one thousand meters to three thousand meters, and the power of its ultimate ice increased several times over, filling it with boundless pride.
"From now on, I will definitely protect the Far North and not allow anyone to invade!"
The Snow Emperor nodded in satisfaction, her gaze fixed on the Star Dou Great Forest to the south, a profound glint in her eyes.
"Now that the Soul Beast Ranking has appeared, the continent is about to be thrown into turmoil. Little White, your growth is the best source of confidence for our Far North."
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened!
An invisible pressure, like the heavens above, descended and instantly enveloped the entire far north, making all the soul beasts feel suffocated.
The Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King's expressions changed drastically as they looked up sharply at the sky.
"This aura... it's that God-King from Tianxing Academy!"
The Snow Empress's voice trembled slightly.
Above them, a cyan figure slowly emerged—it was Li Tianyi.
Beside him stood a girl in a blue dress—it was Shui Bing'er.
Li Tianyi's gaze fell upon the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, as if it were a tangible object, but he didn't immediately attack. Instead, he spoke slowly, his voice calm yet clear, echoing throughout the entire Arctic Ice Plains.
"Ice Bear King, I know you just received the Heavenly Ranking reward, your cultivation has reached 360,000 years, bringing you one step closer to the 400,000-year Great Tribulation."
Xiaobai's expression changed, a hint of wariness and doubt flashing in his pale blue pupils. He roared, "Human God-King, what do you want?"
"I don't want to force a fight," Li Tianyi smiled faintly, his tone carrying a hint of seduction.
"You should know that the success rate for a soul beast to overcome the 400,000-year tribulation is less than one in a thousand. It's a heavenly lightning that can tear apart the soul; the slightest mistake will result in the soul being annihilated, leaving no chance for reincarnation."
"Not to mention you, even that scorpion next to you would have a hard time overcoming it. You and I both know that."
He paused, stepping aside to let Shui Bing'er pass behind him, and continued, "This is my disciple, Shui Bing'er. Her martial soul is the ultimate ice, ranked seventh on the martial soul list. She is a born ice and snow prodigy, destined to embark on the path to godhood."
"Godhood?"
Xiao Bai's breathing suddenly quickened, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes. Isn't the ultimate goal of a soul beast cultivating for millions of years to overcome the tribulation and become a god?
"That's right," Li Tianyi said confidently, "If she absorbs your soul ring, she can not only break through directly, but also accelerate her godhood process by borrowing your 360,000-year ultimate ice foundation."
"When she becomes a deity in the future, she will be able to use her divine power to reverse life and death, strip you from your soul ring, help you reshape your physical body, and bring you into the realm of gods!"
"Bring you into the realm of gods?"
Xiao Bai trembled, its eyes filled with disbelief, forgetting even to struggle.
Its 360,000 years of cultivation made it understand the terror of tribulation even more, and it yearned even more for the opportunity to become a god.
The Snow Empress and Ice Empress were also stunned; they had never imagined such a possibility existed.
Seeing Xiao Bai's wavering expression, Li Tianyi pressed his advantage.
"You are trapped in the body of a soul beast, and your tribulation is extremely dangerous. Rather than gambling everything for that slim chance of survival, why not grant my disciple a guaranteed entry into the God Realm?"
"This deal is worthwhile for you, for me, and for my disciple."
Xiao Bai gazed into Li Tianyi's deep eyes, then at Shui Bing'er beside it, whose aloof temperament subtly exuded an extreme icy aura. Its inner turmoil was like a raging storm.
It knew Li Tianyi wasn't lying; the terror of the 400,000-year tribulation far exceeded its imagination, and becoming a god's soul ring, then being resurrected in the God Realm—this was an opportunity every soul beast dreamed of!
"I…why should I believe you?"
Xiao Bai's voice was hoarse, a trace of doubt still lingering in its eyes.
"Because I am the God-King."
The doubt in Xiaobai's eyes vanished completely. Yes, this was the current God-King; there was no need for him to lie to it. Xiaobai nodded, its expression now resolute.
It slowly lowered its head towards Li Tianyi, its voice trembling slightly, yet incredibly firm: "I... am willing to sacrifice myself! I only ask that Senior keep his promise!"
The Snow Empress and Ice Empress had complex expressions, wanting to say something, but were suppressed by Li Tianyi's God-King aura, ultimately only able to sigh.
Li Tianyi nodded in satisfaction and said to Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er, prepare to absorb."
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and slowly circulated the ultimate ice soul power around her.
Xiaobai roared to the sky, and silver ice energy surged wildly from its body, the ultimate ice power forming a pillar of light.
Its body began to burn, not with ordinary fire, but with the burning of its own soul core and the life fire of its 360,000 years of cultivation. With a deafening boom, a dazzling blue pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds and dyeing the entire northern sky blue.
Within the pillar, pure energy of ultimate ice, like a giant blue dragon, slowly rose into the air before plunging down towards Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er closed her eyes, feeling the vast and pure energy of ultimate ice flowing into her body. A hint of pain appeared on her face, yet it was also filled with unwavering determination.
Her aura was visibly soaring!
Breaking through from the peak of Soul Saint step by step, finally, with a crisp "crack," her aura exploded, successfully breaking through to the level 80 Soul Douluo realm!
At the same time, her seventh soul ring slowly condensed—a 100,000-year soul ring, entirely azure blue, radiating ultimate ice energy, shimmering with a crystalline and powerful light under the sunlight.
As the last wisp of energy merged into Shui Bing'er's body, the soaring blue pillar of light abruptly receded, transforming into starlight and dissipating into the air.
Li Tianyi waved his hand, and a golden divine power enveloped the fragments of Xiao Bai's dissipated soul. He said calmly, "Rest assured, I will entrust your soul to Bing'er for safekeeping. Once Bing'er becomes a god, she will fulfill her promise."
With that, he took Shui Bing'er, transforming into a golden streak of light and disappearing into the horizon of the far north.
Leaving behind the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and the Titan Snow Demon King, gazing at the sky, their eyes filled with complex emotions and awe.
