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

Chapter 46 The Ice Bear King Sacrifices Shui Bing'er, a Seventeen-Year-Old Quasi-Soul Douluo

The Snow Emperor, dressed in white, gazed at the figure of Little White on the light screen with eyes full of love.

"Little White, well done! After 360,000 years, you finally lived up to my and Hyotei's expectations."

Hyotei stood to the side, a rare smile on his face, and patted Shiro's shoulder.

"Indeed, the range of your 'Ice Bear Blizzard' has now increased by another two thousand meters. In terms of large-scale combat power, no one in the far north can match it."

"Moreover, in terms of years of service, they are not much different from me."

The Ice Emperor has nearly 400,000 years of cultivation, while Xiao Bai, who received the ranking reward, is now close to 390,000 years old, which is already quite strong.

Titan Snow Demon King snorted, his tone carrying a hint of resentment, yet unable to conceal his approval.

"Hmph, this silly bear didn't embarrass the far north after all. But don't get too cocky."

The little white creature stood forty meters tall, its long white fur shimmering with dazzling silver light. Its pale blue pupils were filled with excitement as it respectfully bowed its head to the two Ice and Snow Emperors.

"Thank you so much, Godmother! Thank you so much, Ice Emperor! If it weren't for your guidance, and the 80,000 years of cultivation reward from the Heavenly Ranking, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current 360,000 years!"

It felt the surging power within its body, and the range of "Ice Bear Blizzard" soared from one thousand meters to three thousand meters, while the power of the extreme ice increased several times over, filling it with boundless pride.

"From this day forward, I will protect the far north and prevent anyone from invading it!"

Xue Di nodded in satisfaction, her gaze turning to the Starry Sky Forest in the south, a profound look flashing in her eyes.

"Now that the Soul Beast Ranking has appeared, turmoil is about to erupt across the continent. Little White, your growth is the best source of confidence for us in the Far North."

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened!
An invisible pressure, like the heavens above, descended and instantly enveloped the entire far north, making all the soul beasts feel suffocated.

The Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King's expressions changed drastically, and they abruptly looked up at the sky.

"This aura... belongs to that God-King from Tianxing Academy!"

Xue Di's voice trembled slightly.

A blue figure slowly emerged from the sky; it was Li Tianyi.

Beside him stood a girl in a blue dress, none other than Shui Bing'er.

Li Tianyi's gaze fell on the Ice Bear King Xiaobai as if it were a physical object, but he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he slowly spoke, his voice calm yet clear, echoing throughout the entire Arctic Ice Plain.

“Ice Bear King, I know you just received the Heavenly Ranking reward and your cultivation has reached 360,000 years, bringing you one step closer to the 400,000-year tribulation.”

Xiao Bai's expression changed, a hint of wariness and doubt flashing in his light blue pupils. He roared, "Human God King, what do you want to do?"

“I don’t want to take forceful action,” Li Tianyi said with a faint smile, his tone carrying a hint of seduction.

"You should know that the success rate of a soul beast in undergoing the 400,000-year tribulation is less than one in a thousand. It is a heavenly lightning that is powerful enough to tear apart the soul. If you are not careful, your soul will be scattered and you will not even have the chance to be reincarnated."

"Not to mention you, even the scorpion next to you would have a hard time getting through this. We both know that."

He paused, stepped aside to let Shui Bing'er pass behind him, and continued, "This is my disciple Shui Bing'er, whose martial soul is the ultimate ice, ranking seventh on the martial soul list. She is a natural ice and snow prodigy, destined to embark on the path to godhood."

"Becoming a god?"

Xiao Bai's breathing suddenly quickened, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes. For a soul beast to cultivate for millions of years, isn't its ultimate goal to transcend tribulation and become a god?
“That’s right,” Li Tianyi said with certainty. “If she absorbs your soul ring, she can not only break through directly, but also accelerate her process of becoming a god by borrowing your 360,000-year-old ultimate ice foundation.”

"When she becomes a deity in the future, she will be able to use her divine power to reverse life and death, remove you from the soul ring, help you reshape your physical body, and bring you into the realm of gods!"

"Bring it into the realm of gods?" Xiao Bai trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he even forgot to struggle.

With 360,000 years of cultivation, it understood the terror of tribulation and longed even more for the opportunity to become a god.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were also stunned; they had never imagined that such a possibility existed.

Seeing Xiaobai's wavering expression, Li Tianyi pressed on while the iron was hot.

"You are trapped in the body of a soul beast, and your tribulation is extremely dangerous. Rather than gambling everything for that slim chance of survival, why not grant my disciple a chance to enter the God Realm in exchange for a more secure one?"

"This deal is worthwhile for you, for me, and for my disciple."

Looking into Li Tianyi's deep eyes, and then at Shui Bing'er beside him with her aloof temperament and subtle icy charm, Xiao Bai felt a turmoil in her heart.

It knew that Li Tianyi was not lying. The terror of the 400,000-year calamity was far beyond imagination. Becoming a god's soul ring and being brought back to the god realm for resurrection was an opportunity that soul beasts dreamed of!
"Why...why should I believe you?"

Xiao Bai's voice was hoarse, and there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Because I am the King of Gods."

The doubts in Xiaobai's eyes completely disappeared. Yes, this was the current God King, and there was no need for him to lie to it.

Xiao Bai nodded, her expression replaced by resolute determination.

It slowly lowered its head towards Li Tianyi, its voice trembling slightly but unwavering: "I... am willing to sacrifice myself! I only ask that you keep your promise, senior!"

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress had complicated expressions. They wanted to say something, but were suppressed by Li Tianyi's divine king aura and could only sigh in the end.

Li Tianyi nodded in satisfaction and said to Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er, prepare to absorb it."

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and slowly circulated her ultimate ice soul power.

Xiao Bai let out a long roar, and silver ice energy surged wildly from its body, forming a pillar of light with the power of extreme ice.

Its body began to burn, not with ordinary fire, but with the life fire of its own soul core and 360,000 years of cultivation.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, a dazzling blue beam of light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds and turning the entire sky of the far north blue.

Within the pillar of light, contained the pure energy of ultimate ice, like a giant blue dragon, slowly rising into the air before suddenly plunging down and surging towards Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er closed her eyes, feeling the vast and pure ultimate ice energy surging into her body. A trace of pain appeared on her face, yet it was also filled with unwavering determination.

Her aura was visibly increasing!

She broke through little by little from the peak of Soul Saint, and finally, with a crisp "crack" sound, her aura suddenly surged, and she successfully broke through to the level 80 Soul Douluo realm!
At the same time, her seventh spirit ring slowly condensed. It was a 100,000-year spirit ring with a deep blue color and an extreme icy aura, shimmering with a crystal-clear and powerful light in the sunlight.

As the last bit of energy merged into Shui Bing'er's body, the blue beam of light that shot into the sky suddenly contracted, turning into starlight and dissipating into the air.

Li Tianyi raised his hand and waved, a golden divine power enveloping the fragments of Xiaobai's dissipated soul. He said calmly, "Don't worry, I will entrust your soul to Bing'er for safekeeping. Once Bing'er becomes a god, I will fulfill my promise."

After saying that, he took Shui Bing'er and transformed into a golden streak of light, disappearing into the horizon of the far north.

The Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and the Titan Snow Demon King remained, gazing at the sky with complex emotions and awe in their eyes.
