Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 253 The Snow Empress's Plans

The far north.

Snow Empress watched the direction in which the Abyss Saint Lord's clone fled and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

His body swayed and he fell from the sky.

Fortunately, just as she was falling, a streak of emerald light rushed over and caught her.

It was Hyotei, who had turned back.

"Snow Empress! How are you?"

Hyotei's voice was full of anxiety.

Looking at Xue Di's pale face and the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were filled with heartache.

Snow Empress leaned against Ice Empress's chest and weakly shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just that my soul power was too depleted."

She turned to look at the devastation of the far north, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.

"This is how the far north has become."

Ice Emperor shook his head, his eyes full of admiration: "Snow Emperor, you have done very well. If it weren't for you, the far north would have been destroyed by those abyssal scum long ago."

"Those soul beasts have all safely evacuated."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di's eyes flashed with a hint of relief.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Hyotei helped Yukito land on a still intact glacier.

He raised his hand and channeled a wisp of ice-attribute soul power into her to stabilize her breathing, but the worry in his eyes did not dissipate at all.

His gaze occasionally swept towards the direction in which the Abyss Saint King's clone had fled, his voice filled with undisguised solemnity.

"Snow Emperor, although the powerful figure from the abyss was forced away by the Heavenly Curtain, who can guarantee that he won't come back? He's a god-level expert, and he even wields a super artifact."

"If he makes a comeback, we alone will be powerless to resist him. At that time, the soul beasts in the far north will probably not escape their fate."

As she spoke, her fingers unconsciously clenched, and her tone became more urgent.

"Why don't we just take all the soul beasts and move to the Star Dou Great Forest? Star Dou has our master in charge, as well as Di Tian and a group of other powerful figures."

"Even if that Abyss powerhouse really comes again, our lord will be there to protect us. It's better than being stuck in this far north, living in fear and worrying about this mess."

The Snow Empress leaned against the ice rock, slowly regulating the chaotic soul power within her body. After listening to the Ice Empress's words, she remained silent for a moment.

She looked up at the devastated far north.

Glaciers collapsed and ice sheets cracked!
The world, which was originally filled with snow, still bears traces of the corrosive power of the abyss.

That was the home she had protected for hundreds of thousands of years, the root of the Ice and Snow Maiden clan. How could she be willing to give it up?
"Let's relocate some of the soul beasts to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Xue Di's voice was still weak, but it carried an unwavering determination.

"The old, weak, young, and rare bloodline soul beasts should all go there. Only with the protection of the Star Dou Great Forest can their safety be ensured."

"But I will stay and guard the far north."

"Snow Emperor!"

Hyo-tei said urgently, wanting to refute, but was interrupted by Yuki-tei raising her hand.

"This is our home."

The Snow Emperor's gaze gently swept across the icy plain.

"I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and I have been rooted here since the beginning of my life. Every inch of glacier and every wisp of snow in the far north is connected to my blood."

"I can't just stand by and watch it be destroyed, nor can I just abandon it."

She paused, looked at Hyotei, and her eyes showed a newfound certainty.

"Moreover, I have observed that the reason why that abyss expert retreated was entirely because he was wary of the golden canopy in the sky."

"The aura of the Heavenly Canopy is vast and supreme. As long as the Heavenly Canopy exists, he will not dare to act recklessly again."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor's brows remained furrowed: "But what if the Heavenly Curtain suddenly disappears? Or what if the Abyss powerhouse finds a way to counter the Heavenly Curtain?"

"Therefore, we must report this matter to the Lord as soon as possible." Xue Di's gaze became solemn.

"Our lord possesses genuine God-King level combat power. In the entire Douluo Continent, only she can truly contend with the powerhouses of the Abyss Plane."

"As long as our lord is aware of this matter and makes preparations in advance, even if that powerful being from the abyss does descend again, we need not be afraid."

She gently patted Hyotei's hand and added, "As for Beidou Academy, although their strength is mysterious, they are ultimately a human force and may not necessarily help our soul beast race."

"We cannot place our hopes on them. The safest course of action is to rely on the soul beast race itself and on our master."

Hyotei remained silent for a long time before finally nodding solemnly.

She knew Xue Di's temperament; once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it.

Moreover, Xue Di's words are all reasonable, and this is the best course of action now.

We must first deliver the message to the Lord before making any further plans.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. You should rest and recover first. Once your injuries have eased a bit, we'll immediately set off for the Star Dou Great Forest to meet our lord."

Xue Di nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and began to concentrate and regulate her breathing.

Although the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the far north has been disrupted, it still retains a strong aura of ice.

It flowed into her body in strands, repairing her damaged meridians and depleted soul power.

Meanwhile, Hyotei stood guard to the side, unleashing his icy power to create layers of defense.

His eyes scanned the surroundings warily, on guard against any possible danger.

……

Meanwhile, in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena stood quietly on the lake, her long silver hair cascading down, her body surrounded by a faint elemental aura.

Her gaze drifted towards the far north, her brows furrowed slightly.

The divine thoughts of a god-king have long since traversed countless mountains and rivers.

They captured the intense energy collision in the far north, as well as the nauseating abyssal demonic energy.

"Lord."

Di Tian stood respectfully to the side, feeling the faint pressure emanating from Gu Yuena, his heart filled with reverence.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Have you noticed something?"

"A god-level battle has just taken place in the far north."

Gu Yuena's voice was cold, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"That aura is neither that of a human god nor that of our soul beast race. It is the power of the Abyss Plane, and it is a genuine god-level avatar."

"It also carries a pressure far exceeding that of a divine artifact, so it must be a super divine artifact from that abyss plane."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes filled with shock: "The Abyss Plane? A God-level Avatar? A Super Artifact?"

"They actually dare to set foot on the Douluo Continent? Do they intend to start a war right now?"

A storm raged within him; he had long heard of the threat posed by the Abyss Plane.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so bold as to send a god-level avatar with a super artifact to descend and even dare to attack the far north.

"It may not necessarily mean war."

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her purple eyes.

"Although that god-level avatar was powerful, it carried a probing intent, and it was forced back by a vast power shortly after the battle began."

"It must have been the unusual movement of the golden canopy in the sky that startled him."

She looked up at Di Tian, ​​her tone becoming solemn: "In the far north, there are the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor. Although the Snow Emperor has touched the level of a god by borrowing the power of the divine artifact and her home field, she is ultimately not a true god and cannot stop the Abyss clone who holds the super divine artifact."
