Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 132 Pursuit
On the other side, the Azure Phoenix Douluo, who had managed to escape to a more distant edge thanks to his extreme speed, was now lying in the broken ice. One of his proud Azure Phoenix wings was broken, and his body was twisted and damaged in many places, rendering him unable to move.

"I really underestimated her."

Bibi Dong walked to Qian Daoliu's mangled body, her voice cold, carrying a hint of regret for failing to complete the mission.

She never expected that the Snow Emperor would be so fiercely independent, resorting to such extreme methods to not only severely damage them but also preserve the last spark of hope for the far north.

"Cough cough...no, that's not right..."

On Qian Daoliu's remaining head, his scarlet eyes opened with difficulty, his voice hoarse like a broken bellows.

“We’re still alive… Xue Di… isn’t completely dead… she only self-destructed her physical body… her spiritual essence… must still be there… we can’t… let her go…”

As a Limit Douluo who once touched the threshold of godhood, Qian Daoliu has an extremely keen sense of energy.

He clearly sensed that although the Snow Empress's final self-destruction was terrifying, it seemed to be missing something.

If the Snow Empress self-destructed with the determination to perish together with her enemies and have her soul scattered, then with the power of the far north that she gathered in her final moments, these core targets would have absolutely no chance of survival.

Although they are seriously injured, they are still conscious, which means that the Snow Emperor is not dead. This is a clever escape plan.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with cold light, and she immediately understood Qian Daoliu's meaning.

The Snow Empress sacrificed her physical body and most of her power to create this devastating explosion, but her most fundamental spiritual essence and soul core may not have dissipated, but rather escaped with the Ice Empress and others.

As long as the origin remains intact, given Xue Di's level, there is a possibility that she may reunite with her physical body and make a comeback in the future.

"Did you hear that?!"

Bibi Dong suddenly turned her head and looked at the Light Feather Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo and others who were gathering over because they were farther away and had relatively lighter injuries. Her voice was filled with a chilling killing intent.

"Hurry up and chase after her! We must find her alive or dead! We absolutely cannot let Xue Di escape!"

"Yes, Master!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

They dared not be negligent in the slightest. Together with the other Title Douluos who were less seriously injured, they transformed into several streams of light of different colors and, following the subtle energy traces that Ice Emperor and the others might have left behind when they fled, rapidly pursued them into the vast snowy depths of the far north.

At the edge of the abyss, only Bibi Dong and a group of severely injured, dying core members of the Hall of Rebirth who urgently needed a large amount of life force to repair themselves remained.

The wind and snow continued to howl, but it seemed to carry endless sorrow and desolation.

The far north has changed hands, but the flames of war ignited by the Snow Emperor with his life and determination are far from being extinguished.

The earth-shattering self-destruction of the Snow Empress generated energy fluctuations like a boulder thrown into a calm lake. Ripples spread wildly in all directions from the far north core, their impact far exceeding the battlefield that had already turned into an abyss.

Dragon City, the closest human stronghold to the far north, was the first to feel this devastating shock.

On the city wall, the soldiers on duty felt a continuous and deep tremor coming from the ground beneath their feet, as if an ancient behemoth was turning over underground.

A faint, yet chilling and oppressive feeling permeated the air, causing many Soul Masters with lower Soul Power to turn pale and experience difficulty breathing.

Nan Shuishui, the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, suddenly stood up from her seat, walked quickly to the window, and gazed at the faint afterglow of energy in the far north, which could be faintly felt even from a great distance. Her beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised worry.

She didn't know exactly what had happened, but she knew that her mother, the former sect leader Nancy, had gone to that forbidden area.

With such a terrifying burst of energy, will Mother be safe and sound?
The figure of Yu Chonglou, the Heavenly Dragon Douluo, reappeared atop the highest city tower. He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression more solemn than ever before. This time, he no longer sensed vague fluctuations, but rather a crystal-clear, destructive energy remnant imbued with extreme rage.

The level of this power made even a level 95 Super Douluo feel his soul tremble, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out on his back.

"The Three Kings of the Far North, or the Snow Empress?"

He muttered to himself, a storm raging in his heart.

What earth-shattering event has occurred in the far north? The landscape of this continent may truly be about to change as a result.

He became even more determined to defend Dragon City, determined not to let this unknown storm affect his sect's people.

Longmian Residence.

Gu Yuena, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise and confusion flashing in her purple pupils.

As the Silver Dragon King, her perception of the elements of heaven and earth far surpasses that of any human soul master.

Just now, she clearly heard a mournful and sorrowful cry coming from the far north, a cry that belonged to the elements of ice and snow.

It was as if the very backbone of that world had been forcibly broken.

"The far north... has the weather changed? What on earth has happened?"

She spoke softly, her delicate brows furrowed.

The core level of that energy fluctuation was extremely high, approaching that of a deity.

Even if Di Tian went, he probably wouldn't get away with it. She would never let her few remaining ferocious beasts risk their lives to investigate.

Then, something occurred to her, and a strange sense of unease rose within her.

"Yin Chen...they are also in the far north..."

Have the deep-thinking yet exceptionally talented young man and the steady and reliable Zhang Lexuan been caught up in this terrible upheaval?

...

Meanwhile, the two people Gu Yuena was worried about were hiding in a narrow ice cave that she had found temporarily on the outskirts of the far north.

Although the shockwave from Xue Di's self-destruction had weakened considerably by the time it reached this point, the oppressive aura and destructive force originating from the soul level still made Zhang Lexuan's face turn deathly pale.

She was no longer the composed senior sister of the inner courtyard. Her inner anxiety made her pace back and forth in the small space, the ice shavings crunching under her feet.

"No, we can't wait any longer."

Zhang Lexuan suddenly stopped and looked at Yin Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed.

“Yin Chen, the danger here is beyond our ability to cope. That fluctuation just now... was beyond our imagination. We must leave immediately. Even if there is a tide of soul beasts outside, it is better than staying here and waiting to die.”

She couldn't imagine what kind of being could unleash such power, but her intuition told her that every second she stayed there increased the danger.

Upon hearing her words, Yin Chen, who had been keeping his eyes closed as if he were regulating his breathing, slowly opened them.
