Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 128 Ice God
Within the Snow Emperor's body, the dormant Ice God bloodline was completely activated!
"boom--!!!"

A towering, icy blue beam of light shot up from the ancient ice cave, piercing through the perpetual blizzards over the far north and soaring into the heavens!

The beam of light was over 500 miles in diameter, ten times thicker than the beam of light when Hyotei made the list!
Within the pillar of light, the faint phantom of a magnificent temple entirely constructed of ice could be seen. In the center of the temple, a blurry female deity, wearing an ice crown and holding a scepter, slowly lowered her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through endless time and space, landing on the Snow Emperor.

The Ice God Temple! The Illusion of the Ice God!

Although it was just an illusion caused by bloodline, it was still a projection of a god-king level being!

At this moment, the northern half of the sky over the entire Douluo Continent was dyed ice blue!
Temperature plummeted!

In the northern kingdoms that are closer to the far north, heavy snow began to fall from the sky, rivers froze, and vegetation was frozen. Some soul masters with lower cultivation levels even felt that their soul power circulation had become sluggish!

"This...this is a hundred times more terrifying than what happened at Hyotei!"

"A phantom of a temple! That's a projection of a deity!"

"In the far north... what on earth has awakened?!"

Countless powerful figures from various factions across the continent soared into the air, their faces filled with horror as they gazed at the towering pillar of light in the north.

In Wuhun City, Bibi Dong had already emerged from her training chamber and stood atop the Papal Palace.

His dark golden eyes were fixed on the north, and for the first time, greed was revealed in them!
"The bloodline of the Ice God... such a pure divine essence..."

She could sense that the divinity contained in that icy blue pillar of light, although not as powerful as her current quasi-god level, was more ancient and supreme in its quality than the divine power she had obtained through the Rakshasa God Trial!
That is the bloodline of the innate deities, a manifestation of the primordial laws that existed since the beginning of the universe!

If only I could absorb this bloodline...

Her divine power conversion rate will break through 90% in one fell swoop!

The End Realm will be completely perfected!

There's even... a chance to directly challenge for true godhood!

"Snow Empress... Ice and Snow Maiden..."

Bibi Dong's lips curled into a cold smile.

“You’ve come at just the right time.”

In the deep sea, greed flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, but even more so, fear.

"The Ice God's bloodline... This legendary thing actually exists..."

"Well, it's alright."

She licked her lips.

"Once I've absorbed Poseidon's sea god power, I'll taste your ice god bloodline... It will surely be delicious."

On the high seas, Poseidon's expression was extremely grave.

"The Ice God's bloodline has fully awakened... This means that the lineage of the Ice God has officially entered the fray."

"The situation is becoming increasingly complicated."

She knew very well what the awakening of the innate divine bloodline meant.

That not only represents the birth of an unparalleled powerhouse, but also... that the Ice God lineage may be beginning to pay attention to this continent again.

The power of the divine realm may use this as a starting point to truly intervene in the conflicts of the lower realm.

Meanwhile, in the far north...

The Ice Emperor has arrived at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave.

Just as she was about to step inside, she saw an ice-blue figure slowly walking out of the cave.

"elder sister!"

"Ice Emperor blurted out, his voice carrying an excitement he himself was unaware of, and... a hint of awe. Snow Emperor's gaze fell on Ice Emperor, and a rare, extremely faint ripple appeared in her ice-blue eyes."

Amidst those waves, there was relief, concern, and also... a hint of complex scrutiny.

"Bing'er, you've grown up."

Xue Di's voice remained ethereal, but now carried a touch more warmth.

She could sense that Hyotei's strength was far greater than when he had awakened last time, and there was a pure, extremely cold divine power flowing within his body, clearly indicating that he had obtained a great opportunity.

"It's the 'Goddess Ranking'..." Hyotei quickly said, "Sister, did you feel it too? That ranking..."

"Yes." Xue Di nodded gently, looking up at the sky. "It is calling me."

The moment the words fell—

“Buzz——!!!”

Above the sky, which was originally cloudless, a fifth crack suddenly appeared!
This time, the crack was neither the azure of Hyotei, nor the deep blue of the Demon Emperor, nor the gold of Poseidon, nor the dark purple of Bibi Dong, but a kind of... pure, extreme ice white!
That icy white color seemed to be the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, the last moment before everything froze, and the ultimate color at absolute zero!
The crack rapidly expanded, transforming into a gigantic pillar of light, over three hundred miles in diameter and flowing with icy white radiance. It descended from the endless distance, precisely enveloping the sky above the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Cave and the Snow Emperor!
Inside the pillar of light, countless ice crystal-like runes fell like snowflakes. Each rune contained ancient laws of ice and snow, emanating a terrifying aura that could freeze everything and stop time.

Even more terrifying, a blurry female figure could be vaguely seen in the center of the beam of light.

The figure was tens of thousands of feet tall, wearing an ice crown and a snow robe, holding a scepter. Its face was blurred, yet it exuded a supreme majesty that surpassed all living beings.

Although it was just a projection, its aura... froze the souls of all the living beings that sensed it!

Ice God Projection!

It's clearer and more solid than when the blood was activated earlier!
"The Goddess Ranking... can actually attract the projection of His Majesty the Ice Goddess?!"

Poseidon's pupils contracted sharply.

Bibi Dong's eyes burned with even greater greed: "The projection of the Ice God... this means that the concentration of bloodline within the Snow Empress is higher than we imagined!"

A flicker of apprehension crossed the Demon Emperor's deep blue eyes: "The gods are directly paying attention... This is troublesome."

As for the Snow Emperor herself, she looked up at the projection of the Ice God, a hint of enlightenment flashing in her icy blue eyes.

She knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to the projection.

"Descendant of the Ice God, Snow Emperor, respectfully welcomes Your Majesty's arrival."

The Ice God's projection focused its gaze on the Snow Empress, remaining silent for a moment.

A clear, ancient voice, seemingly from eternity ago, resounded directly within the depths of the Snow Emperor's soul:

[You, the awakened one of the Ice God's bloodline, are qualified to be listed on this list]

Show your strength, carry on my will.

The glory of ice and snow shall reappear in the world.

As soon as he finished speaking, the projection of the Ice God slowly raised his hand and pointed at the Snow Emperor.

A sliver of icy white light flew from the projection's fingertip and landed between the Snow Emperor's eyebrows.

The next moment, the Ice God bloodline within Xue Di's body, which originally had a concentration of only 20%, began to boil and surge wildly!
21%……22%……25%……30%!!

When the bloodline concentration broke through the 30% mark, the Snow Emperor's aura underwent a tremendous change!

Her body began to radiate an icy white divine glow, her skin became more translucent, and the icy blue divine patterns inside evolved into more complex and ancient icy white divine patterns.

Her long hair moved without wind, and the starlight at the ends of her hair turned into solid ice crystals and drifted away.

In the depths of her eyes, the complete laws of ice and snow were reflected—condensation, diffusion, freezing, sublimation, and reincarnation…
