Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 19 Let Me Be Your Beginning
Meanwhile, in the territory of the Titan Snow Demon.

A Titan Snow Demon King, hundreds of meters tall, appeared here. The giant, whose body was as majestic as a mountain, also stopped moving and turned to look at the edge of the azure sky.

Its entire body is covered in snow-white fur, its facial skin is bluish-gray, and its forehead is full of wrinkles.

"Ice Emperor..." The Titan Snow Demon King roared like thunder, its hoarse voice shaking the air. Before the words were finished, the mountain-like behemoth suddenly bent over, its massive claws, covered in icicles, digging deep into the snow. In an instant, the snow surged into the sky like a white wave, the ice groaned under the weight, and a jagged icy chasm hundreds of meters long instantly split open beneath its feet.

With each leap, the entire snowfield trembled, its form piercing the sky amidst a cloud of snow mist. Upon landing, the thousand-meter-long ice field caved in, the splashing ice crystals refracting a cold light. The dark figure leaped and bounded across the snowfield, approaching the Ice Emperor at a terrifying speed, its passage causing the ice and snow to churn like a boiling sea.

…………

At this point, it was clear that the battle between Bingdi and Xiadie should be over. With her 400,000 years of cultivation, even if she suppressed her strength, dealing with a Soul Master who hadn't even reached the fifth ring would be very easy for Bingdi.

But the result exceeded her expectations; she was not at a disadvantage at all.

Amidst howling winds and blizzards, layers of snow fell like curtains, instantly engulfing the entire field of vision, leaving only a chaotic expanse of white between heaven and earth.
The world was completely enveloped in a giant ice coffin by a blanket of snow, even the air itself seemed to freeze into frost. In the utter silence, only the soft rustling of falling ice crystals echoed in the air. This once-in-a-millennium extreme cold had swallowed up all traces of life, leaving only a desolate, pale wasteland.

The butterfly hovered pristinely in mid-air, the blizzard swirling around her like a curtain of snow. She lowered her gaze to the vast expanse of snow, a cold smile curving her lips: "It's time to test this power."

With a gentle twist of her jade-like hand, the chilling aura of deep blue memories burst forth from her palm. Unlike the extreme ice of the Hyotei, this wisp of icy mist carried the destiny of memories, winding upwards in strands, as if freezing the absolute terror of time and space.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred-meter-long ice-blue giant sword appeared across the sky. The cold light flowing across its blade resembled an inverted galaxy, yet it exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine. The Ice Empress's diamond-like pupils suddenly contracted, reflecting a terrifying power that shattered her understanding of the universe—the giant sword condensed from a special kind of ice. Her facial expression was filled with terror.

With a gentle press of her jade-like hand, a chilling aura erupted from the sword, causing it to tremble and emit a ghostly blue halo. The sky roared, and vast swathes of space cracked like a mirror, with icy currents surging through the dark fissures, as if opening a passage to the Netherworld Ice Abyss.

"boom!"

A sharp crack tore through the sky, as if millions of ice crystals shattered simultaneously. The raging snowstorm froze in an instant, snowflakes hovered in the air, the gale solidified into icicles, and the entire world transformed into a crystal-clear sculpture of death.

With a gentle wave of her jade-like arm, Xia Die unleashed a deafening roar of the frozen ice and snow storm.

"Click——"

A series of crisp cracking sounds rose and fell, as if countless glass mirrors were collapsing simultaneously. The frozen blizzard turned into dust and flew everywhere. Hyotei's eternal ice domain, like a paper barrier, crumbled inch by inch under this terrifying power, and a chilling aura swept out like a tidal wave.

"How can this be."

Ice Emperor was surprised. This was a four-ring Soul Master. I would believe you if you said he was a Title Douluo.

Xia Die gently nodded, touching the hem of her skirt.

"I wonder if you now acknowledge my strength, sir."

"What kind of ice is this? How can it be even stronger than my ultimate ice? This is definitely not something that trash Tianmeng gave you. He will understand. He cultivates both ice and mental attributes, but he has not reached the level of ultimate ice."

This is certainly not the ultimate ice, but ice formed from the echoes of destiny, and the Butterfly is also blessed by destiny.

Therefore, your strength increases with every ten levels you gain. At level four, you can fight against 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and at level fifty...

When she reaches level 80, it will be the time for Xia Die to be crowned. At that time, no one will be her match, and she will have truly achieved what real death is.

Now that Hyotei has no reason to fight, 12 has received his reward.

"You can understand this as the power of destiny."

"The power of destiny".

Hyotei was very puzzled by this.

The ground began to tremble violently without warning, as if an invisible giant hand was shaking the entire earth. Hyotei was very familiar with this aura, and its owner was none other than Tai!

Soon, the tremors intensified, and the ice beneath our feet cracked with each tremor, the fissures spreading like a spiderweb, as if it would shatter completely at any moment. Each tremor felt like a hammer blow to the heart, and the air itself was violently distorted by the force, intensifying the chill.

A dark shadow slowly emerged from the distant snow curtain. At first, it was just a blurry outline, but as it drew closer, a massive figure gradually became clear. Its shape resembled that of a giant ape.

And he is none other than Titan Snow Demon King – Atai.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, revealing its gleaming white fangs, its fierce gaze fixed on the butterfly in mid-air. Its hundred-meter-tall body suddenly exerted force, using the trembling ground to propel itself into the air, like a collapsing snow mountain, carrying a howling wind, and crashing down with the force of a thunderbolt!
Atai roared, his mountain-like body suddenly spinning, bringing with it a fierce gale. His veined arms swung in a wide arc like giant hammers, using the terrifying kinetic energy accumulated by centrifugal force, accompanied by a piercing whistle, and smashed down on Xia Die, distorting the air in his wake with visible ripples.

Xia Die didn't even glance at it. But in the next instant, the hundred-meter-long ice-blue giant sword shattered into countless fragments, enveloping the Titan Snow Demon King, and then the Titan Snow Demon King remained motionless.

In the sky, the colossal Snow Demon hovered in mid-air in a contorted posture that defied all logic. Its snow-white fur moved without wind, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, and its pupils were filled with terrifying killing intent. Its ferocious face seemed frozen in a horrifying moment. Freed from the constraints of gravity, this hundred-meter-tall behemoth resembled a giant puppet controlled by invisible threads, its body shrouded in eerie coldness. Against the backdrop of the gray sky, it looked like a suspended ice sculpture, exuding a chilling sense of unreality.

On the other side, Xia Die turned her head to look, and amidst the swirling snow mist, a slender figure appeared and disappeared.

The woman arrived barefoot, her skin whiter than snow, her eyes reflecting the cold moonlight, and her hair still adorned with tiny ice crystals. Ripples spread from her feet, her slender toes unfurling like plum blossoms in winter, and an icy blue aura swirled around her ankles, appearing even more translucent than the snow itself. With each step, an invisible pressure, carrying a cool fragrance, spread out, her aura both chilling and noble, seemingly freezing the surrounding space and time—the oppressive presence of a true ruler of the far northern snowfields—no need for ostentation, every move she made was in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth.

"Xue'er..."

"Snow Emperor."

Xue Di turned her gaze to Xia Die and said, "Hello! Little one, did you make this?"

"Ah."

With a light tap of her snow-white hand, the Snow Empress unleashed a deafening roar from mid-air. The hundred-meter-tall Titan Snow Demon King plummeted like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the snow-covered ground.

"Ahhh~ Achoo!" Atai's limbs twitched as he tried to prop himself up, but his strong arms were as limp as mud. A bone-chilling cold raged through his veins, every drop of blood felt like it was bound by invisible shackles, and even his breath was icy.

"Damn humans!" it angrily pounded the ground, causing the permafrost to crack.

The Snow Empress looked down from her high perch, her cold voice carrying a hint of frost: "If he truly wanted to take your life, you would have long since turned into ice shards scattered on the ground. Take a good look—" she flicked her finger, "and see clearly what the person who brought you down looks like. Humanity still needs a proper assessment."

"Bing'er, what's going on here?" Xue Di ignored Titan Snow Demon King and looked at Bing Di instead.

…………

"So, you're doing this for that so-called plan to create a god."

"My time is drawing near. Although I'm somewhat tempted by Tianmeng's god-making scheme, I also want to see what kind of strength the host she chooses is. But I'm a little unsure about her; I don't know if she's human or..."

"Instead of thinking like that, why don't you ask her?" Xue Di said, looking at Xia Die sitting on the rock.

Meanwhile, Xia Die was also looking at the tasks issued by the system.

[He confessed his identity to the Snow Empress, but only regarding the original host body.]

[Reward: Law Fragment]

[Fragments of Laws: These are not fragments of laws from Douluo Continent, but fragments from the Three Thousand Great Laws of the Primordial World. They can be used to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao.]

They actually released this thing; they really have no intention of giving Tang Shenwang any face.

After Xia Die returned to reality, the two Ice and Snow Emperors walked towards her, and Xia Die knew their purpose.

"Little one, what should I call you?" Xue Di wasn't as aloof as before, but rather showed a hint of gentleness.

Xia Die's eyes were very calm. Despite facing these two overlords of the far north, her expression remained as calm as still water, without the slightest fear or panic.

"Your Excellency, you may call me Xia Die."

"Xia Die, what a beautiful name. But there's another question: is she human or...?"

"Sir, instead of giving you this troublesome explanation, why don't you see for yourselves?"

"And Tianmeng, and Teacher, I'll also show you my past life, but don't cry."

As Xia Die spoke, she raised her hand and gently touched her brow. Immediately, two orbs of light slowly floated toward the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

Of course, two more orbs of light appeared in front of Electrolux and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor exchanged a glance. They both felt puzzled by the elven girl and were curious about her identity. Finally, they slowly nodded and carefully probed their spiritual energy into the ball of light in front of them.
