Chapter 60: Returning to the Far North, the Great Tribulation Approaches
In the air of the Body Sect's back mountain, the lingering resonance of the Power of Destiny had not yet fully dissipated.
Lin Sheng stood quietly outside the stone gate.
His three pupils flickered alternately, finally drawing that majestic sense of pressure entirely back into his body.
And right at that moment...
The fluctuations brought forth by the Sharingan's Origin immediately caught Lin Sheng's attention. His expression shifted slightly as he realized what was happening.
"This feeling..."
"It's the mark I left on the Snow Empress; it's fluctuating!"
Inside the Sea of Consciousness.
"What?!"
The Ice Empress's expression changed instantly, her tone carrying a fear and anxiety that pierced to the bone.
Lin Sheng closed his eyes.
Relying on the faint connection, he seemed to catch a blurred glimpse of the terrifying Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth about to descend upon the Far North.
Vaguely, he saw the distant northern horizon being completely covered by a layer of purple-black thunderclouds, suppressed to the extreme.
The destructive aura contained within those thunderclouds...
Even from ten thousand miles away, it made his skin sting.
"Xue'er... Xue'er is Undergoing Tribulation! She's early!"
The Ice Empress's Divine Thought transmitted within Lin Sheng's mind.
Her tone carried a hint of pleading.
"Lin Sheng, I beg of you... help Xue'er. She will likely meet with disaster; the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation is too terrifying."
Lin Sheng remained silent for a moment.
He felt the Ice Empress's near-collapsing emotions.
Toward this King of the Far North, the Ice Empress, who had helped him so much and made his own foundation even more robust...
He could not refuse.
"I promise you."
Lin Sheng gave a brief, single-word reply.
His figure blurred, and he instantly returned to the Body Sect's main hall.
...
Inside the main hall, Du Busi was conversing with Long Aotian and Vina.
Seeing Lin Sheng emerge from seclusion again.
A look of gratification had just appeared in Du Busi's eyes when it was suppressed by the solemnity on Lin Sheng's face.
"Teacher, I have urgent business and must head to the Far North once more."
Lin Sheng got straight to the point, his tone hurried.
Du Busi was startled, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Now? Lin Chen, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Competition is only a month away. We didn't originally intend to participate."
Du Busi paused before continuing.
"But on second thought, I can't let Shrek continue being so arrogant, so..."
"For this session, I don't intend for you all to be exposed too early. We plan to compete under the name of the 'Snow Demon Sect'. You are the Soul of this team; if you aren't there..."
"I will make it back."
Lin Sheng interrupted Du Busi. His gaze appeared exceptionally cold, contrasted by that gray-white left eye.
"Shrek has suppressed the Body Sect for too long. In this competition, I will personally tear down their ten-thousand-year-old reputation."
"But before that, I must make a trip to the Far North."
Du Busi looked at Lin Sheng's unquestionable gaze, knowing that once this Disciple's mind was set, it could not be changed.
He patted Lin Sheng heavily on the shoulder.
"Fine! Since you've said so, I believe you."
"See you at the Star Luo Empire's competition grounds in one month. If I don't see you there, I'll personally go to the Far North and drag you back!"
"I'll be there."
Lin Sheng nodded to Long Aotian and Vina, then immediately condensed his Soul Power.
He vanished from the spot instantly.
With the support of the Power of Destiny and rank fifty-four Soul Power, his speed was more than twice what it had been before.
With a flash of light, he disappeared into the horizon.
...
Over the next few days, Lin Sheng hardly stopped for a moment.
The further north he flew.
The temperature dropped at a terrifying rate. The originally azure sky had long been replaced by thick, lead-gray clouds!
When Lin Sheng stepped into the edge of the Far North's core circle again, the ice-attribute Soul Power within him actually trembled involuntarily under that heavenly might.
"Too terrifying..."
Tianmeng Iceworm shivered and shrank back into the Sea of Consciousness.
"Is this the Snow Empress's 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation? The energy in those thunderclouds is enough to flatten half the Far North!"
Lin Sheng looked up.
High in the sky, nine dark purple lightning bolts, thick as dragons, were circling and intertwining within the black clouds. That destructive pressure...
Caused the moisture in the air to instantly freeze into fine ice shards, which then turned into blades in the wild wind!
"What a terrifying Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. No wonder the Soul Beast race... ultimately cannot cross the Great Tribulation..."
He took a deep breath.
Forcing down the palpitations in his body, he turned into a piercing blood-colored rainbow, rushing toward the deepest part of the ice plains.
Boom—!
When Lin Sheng passed through the layers of ice mist and arrived at the core ice valley of the Far North.
Two behemoths were pacing restlessly at the valley entrance.
The Ice Bear King Xiao Bai's massive body almost knocked down the ice mountain. His diamond-like fur flickered with an uneasy cold light under the lightning's glow.
Roar!!!
On the other side, the Titan Snow Devil King A'tai, over a hundred meters tall and covered in dark scales and frost.
Was looking up at the sky, letting out an unwilling roar.
They were the guardians of this land...
But when facing this world-destroying Lightning Tribulation, they appeared so insignificant!
"Human! It's you!"
Xiao Bai was the first to sense Lin Sheng's presence.
His massive head lowered, but his eyes no longer held any of their previous hostility, replaced instead by a near-desperate plea.
A'tai also turned his head, his voice like heavy, muffled thunder.
"The Ice Empress's aura... you have the Ice Empress's scent on you. Human, did you come for the Snow Empress?"
Lin Sheng landed before Xiao Bai's massive paw.
Looking at the tribulation clouds in the sky already brewing the first bolt of lightning, his remaining two Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly bloomed.
Buzz—!
"There!"
Lin Sheng saw the Snow Empress.
Under the Sharingan's vision.
He captured a snow-white, ethereal figure standing quietly at the peak of an ice mountain, facing the heavens.
"The Great Tribulation hasn't started yet; it's still brewing..."
Lin Sheng spoke calmly.
"If the Snow Empress truly meets with an accident, I will do my best to help. But..."
Lin Sheng took a deep breath; this was the limit of what he could promise.
Asking him to face the Great Tribulation.
Was no different from seeking death.
"Human... no, Lin Sheng!"
Xiao Bai's massive body was actually trembling slightly. He looked at the thunderclouds, his voice carrying a sob.
"If you really have a way, if you can really save Mother like you saved Aunt Ice... my Ice Bear clan will follow your orders for the rest of our lives!"
"My Titan Snow Devil clan as well!"
The Titan Snow Devil King A'tai also struck his chest heavily, shaking up the surrounding snow.
"It might not have reached that point yet, don't start crying."
Lin Sheng gave a small smile.
Lin Sheng felt the purest emotions from those two Soul Beast Kings. His gaze moved past the two giants, casting toward the lonely figure in the depths of the ice plains.
"Looking at the scale of this Heavenly Tribulation's terror."
"In less than half an hour, I'm afraid this Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth will truly descend."
A blood-colored light bloomed in Lin Sheng's pupils.
He was accumulating power.
Knowing the Snow Empress's fate, he knew that this time, her Undergoing Tribulation was destined to fail.
