Chapter 546 The Snow Emperor's Tribulation to Become a God!

Splash splash splash

In the unknown sea, the waves kept crashing against the shore rocks. A hunched man with a pale face staggered from near the shore, dragging a huge killer whale with its white belly turned up towards the shore.

The middle-aged man held the rope with one hand, while his other sleeve was empty.

The cold sea breeze ruffled the man's graying temples and empty sleeves. Drowsiness washed over him like a tsunami, and he staggered toward the blurry shore, dragging the orca along. With each step, his face grew paler, until the moment he stepped onto the beach, exhaustion finally broke this man who had wasted half his life.

With a thud, the man fell heavily onto the beach.

"The power of Asura!"

A sigh, seemingly from the ancient past, slowly echoed throughout the surrounding world.

Inside the Ice and Fire Immortal Valley, Chen Hong looked at the two Ice and Snow Emperors who had come to visit with a look of surprise, feeling slightly astonished.

He was recently struggling with a problem: how to get back the Ice Dragon King's remains that he had already given away to the Snow Empress. Unexpectedly, before he could even voice his concerns, the Snow Empress herself brought up the request.

"Are you surprised?" Xue Di glanced at Chen Hong, then looked up at the girl in blue soaking her feet in the ice spring.

"Even I cannot erase the influence of the Elemental Dragon King's power. The power left behind by the Ice Dragon King will directly transform me into a Dragon Maiden. Perhaps for other ice elemental beings, dragonification is an evolution, but for the Ice and Snow Maiden, dragonification is an aberration." The Snow Empress looked at Chen Hong sincerely. It must be said that the Snow Empress is a very pure cultivator.

From the very beginning, Snow Empress never intended to devour the Ice Dragon King's remains. For a spirit of heaven and earth like Snow Empress, she herself was one of the most perfect beings in this world. Perfection is not the only thing; this world possesses many things that are perfect.

"The Ice Dragon is the perfect form of a beast, but for me, the Ice and Snow Maiden is the most perfect form. This world allows for multiple forms of perfection, and there is no superiority or inferiority among them. The only question is whether this form suits you." The Snow Empress's words surprised Chen Hong slightly. If it were another world, a being like the Snow Empress, who was almost a Dao, might have been a primordial deity from the moment of her birth, right?

"So you've reached your bottleneck yet?" Chen Hong's eyes bloomed with black lotuses as he observed Xue Di's aura and discovered that Xue Di seemed to be in a rather special state of breakthrough.

"I originally thought I could suppress it for ten thousand years, but because of you, I participated in the battle against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. At the same time, I witnessed the Evil Eye Tyrant's mastery of spiritual power, which allowed my realm to increase even when my soul power was depleted." Speaking of this, Xue Di's eyes were somewhat complicated. She realized that the world that she used to see as very simple had become complicated after Chen Hong broke in.

Xue Di's cultivation level regressed because she gave Chen Hong a soul ring, allowing her to continue suppressing herself and live for another ten thousand years. But who would have thought that although her soul power was lost, her cultivation level was improved because of her battle with the two uncrowned divine beasts!

Hearing Xue Di's question, Chen Hong felt a little helpless. So, the far north doesn't have internet access yet, does it?

"Why are you making that face?" Hyotei noticed Chen Hong's helplessness and couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe. Let me answer this question for you two." Ye Lingling, who knew Chen Hong's temperament well, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I suppose you haven't been studying within the Technological Federation system all these years? Brother Hong once proposed the theory of soul beasts cultivating their minds and soul masters cultivating their techniques. From a soul master's perspective, the Snow Maiden's soul power is always sufficient. Continuing to cultivate is about cultivating the control of soul power and the realm of the spirit and soul. There is a difference in the cultivation realm between soul beasts and soul masters."

"However, this difference is being smoothed out. Brother Hong's Sage Spirit equipment is gradually making the soul beasts approach the level of soul masters." Ye Lingling explained to the Ice and Snow Emperors why the Snow Emperor's soul power decreased, but her cultivation level increased instead.

Chen Hong nodded and smiled helplessly, "Actually, this theory has a relatively weak impact on beings at your level. However, since you are already at a critical point, even the slightest progress could be the final step in breaking through that critical point for you."

"I've looked at your current state, and you are indeed in a state of breaking through to a higher realm. If there is any external interference, it will trigger a tribulation of lightning. Fortunately, my ninth soul ring just suppressed the lightning patterns on my body, otherwise you would have started your tribulation the moment you appeared next to me."

Chen Hong didn't know if it was Xue Di's good luck or his own good luck, but if it weren't for the [Transcendent] ability suppressing his million-year-old glorious tattoo, he wouldn't be lying there obediently like this now.

Through adapting to and understanding the Purple-Gold Thunder Pattern, Chen Hong discovered that it had the effect of triggering lightning in advance, and this effect was somewhat terrifying, as it could directly trigger the lightning tribulation 10% earlier.

Ninety thousand years, eighteen thousand years, two hundred and seventy thousand years, nine hundred and ten thousand years—directly and irrationally triggering lightning tribulations.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more severely one is struck by the purple-gold lightning patterns, which aligns with Chen Hong's preconceived notion of divine tribulations.

Chen Hong is now so powerful that calling him an enemy of soul beasts is no exaggeration. However, in contrast, Ye Lingling holds a sliver of hope, capable of saving the soul beasts from the lightning tribulation.

To put it simply, Chen Hong obtained a trace of 'destructive power' in a very miraculous way. Although it was just a tribulation trigger, it was no less than being struck by lightning or annihilated by heaven for a soul beast. This is because most super ferocious beasts only consider the issue of tribulation in the last ten thousand years; the previous ninety thousand years can be completed in about a thousand years.

What? You successfully transcended the tribulation? Congratulations! As a reward, you can try again!

Because of the extreme destructive nature of the lightning tribulation, the soul beast undergoing the tribulation receives no benefit whatsoever. In other words, even if you successfully undergo the tribulation, your soul, spirit, soul power, and physique will not improve. Since none of these aspects will improve, your realm will not advance. You have simply had the door opened in front of you, and you must enter it yourself.

But Chen Hong could just laugh it off!

By exploiting a world bug through the purple-gold lightning pattern, another lightning tribulation was awarded before the soul beast "entered the door"! This was because the lightning pattern formed on Chen Hong's body by the first heavenly lightning was a "lightning tribulation incomplete mark"!

Chen Hong was originally worried about whether the tribulation of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was too dangerous, but when he was about to doze off, someone delivered a pillow to his head!

They could have started by tempering their bodies using the Snow Emperor's "Godhood Tribulation"!
