Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Ling Bai flew from the distant sea to the center of the battlefield and saw Ling Qiuxi with a proud look on her face, with the Death Prison Bone Dragon showing off its treasures beside her.

The four 100,000-year-old soul beasts—Golden Crown Mermaid Liya, Silver Crown Mermaid Lijing, Vast Blue Whale, and Sword-Tailed Sea Serpent King—looked somber, as if they had already foreseen their tragic end.

This battle broke the backbone of the Ironclad Sea God faction; the remaining sea spirit beasts either lacked firm faith or refused to obey the Sea God's commands.

Ling Bai opened the Gate of the Dead, and all the undead creatures surged into the undead demiplane like a tide, bringing with them the frozen Blue Whale of the Vast Ocean and the Sword-Tailed Sea Serpent King. However, he did not attack the two mermaid princesses. The Death Prison Bone Dragon followed closely beside Ling Bai, holding them tightly in its palm.

On the other side, the Snow Empress was finally reunited with the Northern Soul Beasts. Her beautiful face, perpetually covered in frost, now showed a faint smile. She tossed the Sea Princess, who was immobilized by the Great Cold and Snowlessness, to the Death Prison Bone Dragon and said:

"Let's go, let's go to the far north."

The group returned to the far north ice plains in a grand procession. Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi stood at the dragon's head. Ling Qiuxi gazed at the Snow Emperor's aloof figure from afar and gave Ling Bai a questioning look:

"The third most ferocious beast on the continent, the Snow Empress, the ruler of the far north, she's actually inside your body?"

"We've been traveling together for six years. I haven't been able to do without Xue Di's help along the way. The seventh spirit ring of the six-winged angel was transformed from Xue Di. Later, she has been existing in my spiritual sea in the form of a wisdom spirit ring."

"Six years, a sea of ​​spirit..."

Ling Qiuxi was slightly annoyed. Based on this timeline, wouldn't Xue Di know everything about her and Ling Bai's experiences? She had no secrets from Xue Di at all!

"etc."

She realized something and frowned: "When you were having sex with those women, Xue Di could watch?"

Ling Bai nearly fell off the head of the Death Prison Bone Dragon. Oh my gosh, you're the only one who knows how to get to the point!

At the forefront of the group, Hyotei looked at Yukiterita, whose body was clearly much more ethereal after the battle, and said with heartache:

"Xue'er, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years! Weren't you in seclusion fighting the seven hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation? How come you suddenly went to the far north ice sea to fight the sea princess, and even your physical body is gone!"

"Bing'er, back then I failed to condense the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, and my origin was severely damaged. I was unable to survive the seventh great tribulation and was forced to seek another path."

The Snow Emperor touched the Ice Emperor's emerald green body and reminisced, "I traveled all over the far north and found a Snow Lotus with 100,000 years of cultivation but no intelligence. I planned to absorb the Snow Lotus to regain my human form."

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. At the crucial moment when I was rebuilding myself into human form, two humans broke into the Snow Mountain Lotus Pond and sealed me away. Then Ling Bai appeared.

After a pause, Xue Di glanced at Ling Bai behind her and continued:

"We killed those two humans together, but I failed to regain my human form, and I only have less than a hundred years left before the Heavenly Tribulation. So we made a soul contract."

"I voluntarily offer my soul ring and soul bone to help him complete the path to godhood. If he one day ascends to godhood, the far north will be under his protection. If he fails to become a god, he will protect the far north for a hundred years and do everything in his power to help you overcome the four hundred thousand heavenly tribulations."

"Xue'er..."

Ice Emperor was instantly moved to tears, and Ice Bear King and Titan Snow Demon King also had tears in their eyes. The reason why Snow Emperor was supported by the entire North was not only because of her incomparably strong combat power, but more importantly because of her dedication to the future of the North until her death.

Seeing the tears welling up in the eyes of the three villains, Xue Di said helplessly, "What's with those expressions? It's like I've failed."

"what?"

The three beasts were all stunned. The process of becoming a god was extremely difficult for both soul beasts and humans, and they did not believe that anyone in this era could succeed.

The Snow Emperor laughed and said, "Ling Bai is not even eighteen years old, but his cultivation level is 89th level Soul Douluo. His talent is far superior to the seven people who became gods ten thousand years ago. You have all witnessed his combat power. He defeated the Abyss Nether Dragon Emperor head-on."

The blood of two great gods flows through his body. We have already gained the approval of a first-level god. Once we complete the divine test, we can inherit the divine position.

We're almost finished on the path to godhood, but a first-level godhood isn't enough; we want more.

"Ah, it's done!?"

The three ferocious beasts looked at each other, a huge surprise rushing into their minds. The far north worshipped the Ice God, but the Ice God was at most a first-level god and almost ignored the group of soul beasts in the far north. Now, the Snow Emperor had directly invested in a human who was at least a first-level god, making him a worthy follower of the emperor!

"Xue'er, you're amazing..."

Hyotei's crystal-yellow eyes were filled with infatuation, and her five emerald green scorpion tail swayed and coiled around Yuki's slender and supple waist.

In the past, Xue Di wouldn't have cared about Bing Di's little actions. After all, they were best friends, and it was normal for them to be a little intimate. But this time, Xue Di seemed to have inadvertently landed next to the Ice Bear King and gently pinched the giant beast's pink nose.

Ice Bear King was overjoyed, nuzzling Snow Empress's palm with his nose, looking blissful. Ice Empress, unwilling to give up, caught up, her scorpion tail slowly approaching Snow Empress.

When the scorpion's tail was almost within reach, Xue Di suddenly turned her head, sighed deeply on her beautiful face, and shook her head slowly but firmly.

Hyotei is shattered.

This Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was shattered into several pieces. It used to be able to get close to the Snow Empress, but this time when they met, the Snow Empress didn't give it a chance at all!

"Bing'er, I have made my choice."

Xue Di said softly. She wasn't stupid. Of course she knew about Bing Di's unusual feelings. Rather than being entangled in a mess, Xue Di would rather cut the Gordian knot quickly. It's better to have a short pain than a long one.

Hyotei gave a listless "hmm" and charged forward without saying a word.

The Ice Plains and the Ice Sea are both located in the far north. The 100,000-year-old soul beast is extremely fast and soon stepped into the Ice Plains territory.

The land was covered in ice and snow, stretching as far as the eye could see. The biting wind was as sharp as a knife. The harsh environment of the far north made it difficult for creatures to survive. At this moment, at the junction of the ice plain and the ice sea, a group of soul beasts spontaneously gathered together.

Ice Jade Scorpion, Titan Snow Demon, Ice Bear, Icefield Wolf, and tens of thousands of other soul beasts, with even more rushing towards them at their fastest speeds, and even flying soul beasts rarely seen in the far north arriving.

Every soul beast was extremely excited, gazing at the sky, eagerly anticipating the return of their sovereign to the far north.

The Snow Empress's clear, sky-blue pupils reflected the spirit beasts of the far north, and a beautiful smile gradually curved her lips. The empress, named after the extreme cold and snow, brought warmth to her people.

Ling Bai's gaze swept over the excited beasts, giving him a basic understanding of the overall strength of the far north.

Over 90% of the creatures in the far north are ice-attribute soul beasts, but ice-attribute soul masters are only a minority in the Douluo Continent. Few soul masters are willing to risk venturing into the frigid land to hunt soul beasts, which has led to the far north soul beasts growing to a considerable level of power.

The Snow Empress's figure was faintly visible in the distance. The Northern Soul Beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, greeting the Snow Empress with the utmost reverence. The hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts all returned to the ground, including the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King. Only the Ice Empress had been granted special privileges by the Snow Empress.

Xue Di said calmly, "We've all arrived, so let's begin. It's been a long time, and I'm very happy to see you all again."

Upon hearing this, all the beasts cheered, their roars tearing apart the fierce winds of the far north, and the spirit beasts were instantly filled with excitement. The Snow Emperor slowly pressed down, and the high-pitched roar abruptly ceased, returning the far north to silence.

"Over the years, I have been in seclusion trying to break through my bottleneck," said Xue Di. "Whether it is me, or Di Tian and Xie Di, we have all lived in this world for far too long."

We have reached the bloodline limit of the Soul Beast race, making it difficult to break through to the next realm. However, I have found hope for the enduring prosperity of the Far North.

Snow Empress floated to Ling Bai's side, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, took his hand and raised it high into the sky. The sunlight seemed to intertwine them together:

"Ling Bai, he is the inheritor of the divine lineage, an eternal friend of the far north, and the one I have chosen. From this moment forward, his will is my will. You must respect him as you respect me, and offer your faith without reservation!"

The key to ascending to godhood lies in faith and power. Xue Di and Ling Bai are of one mind and body. She clearly knows what she should do and has laid the groundwork for the faith of the soul beasts in the far north in advance.

Ling Bai smiled and looked at Xue Di, but suddenly noticed that she seemed very uncomfortable, constantly adjusting her breathing frequency with a blank expression, which meant she was quietly taking deep breaths.

Announcing her choice before her people was almost a candid confession. Although she didn't blush or show any reaction that was completely out of character for Xue Di, her nervousness was impossible to hide.

Xue Di sensed that Ling Bai was looking at her and realized that her changes had been noticed by him, so her expression became even colder, but this attitude was perhaps a way of trying to cover up her true feelings.

Hyotei shuddered, staring menacingly at Ling Bai, almost grinding his teeth to powder, giving a very human-like performance of what it means to grit one's teeth.

Titan Snow Demon King was heartbroken, while Ice Bear King scratched his head, his voice extremely low:

"I'm going to have a dad!?"

Having established Ling Bai's position, the Snow Empress said a few more words, and then dismissed the Northern Soul Beasts, leaving only the Ice Empress and the Ice Bear King.

Ling Bai descended from the Bone Dragon Prison, his goal clear: the Ice Bear King. His expression was warm and enthusiastic.

"I heard from Xue Di that your name is Xiao Bai?"

"Yes, my mom named it," Ice Bear King said honestly.

"Xiaobai is not suitable."

"Dad will change your name to Little Fatty."

The three faces turned around simultaneously: the Snow Empress was furious and embarrassed, Ling Qiuxi's eyes darkened slightly, and the Ice Empress was enraged.

"mom……"

The Ice Bear King was dumbfounded. It opened its mouth as if seeking help, but the Snow Empress did not reply, as if she was not interested in acknowledging it, or as if she had already acquiesced.

"Don't worry, Fatty, Dad didn't change your name for nothing."

Ling Bai touched his storage soul tool and took out a bright, icy blue pearl.

"A pearl nurtured by an ice-cold shell for 100,000 years should be our gift for meeting..."

"Okay, thanks Dad!"

The Ice Bear King's eyes lit up, and it swallowed the Extreme Ice Pearl in one gulp. "We bears are all your dads when we have food!"

The ice-attribute energy within this pearl can greatly enhance its origin, significantly increasing the success rate of the 300,000-year Heavenly Tribulation!

Seeing the Ice Bear King so spineless, the Ice Emperor could no longer suppress the raging fire within her. She bared her claws and roared:

"I refuse to accept defeat. If you're so capable, let's have a fair duel!"

The Snow Empress sighed. The Ice Empress, with her fiery temper, couldn't hold back her anger after all.

"Let's fight right here in the core area of ​​the far north. You won't use your second spirit, do you dare?!"

Hyotei felt they had a home-field advantage, and with the Spider King's clones banned from participating in the battle, they had a 50% chance of winning!

"If you lose, you'll turn into human form, and you'll do whatever I tell you to do. Do you dare?" Ling Bai retorted.

Hyotei, now in a state of extreme heat, couldn't tolerate any provocation: "Come on, who's afraid of who? I'll show you what the ultimate ice of the far north is!"

The two immediately got into a fighting stance. The Snow Empress didn't care; since she couldn't kill it anyway, she might as well let the Ice Empress vent her emotions.

Two figures charged forward, one on the ground and the other in the air!

"Bang—"

"Wait a minute, you little brat, you dare make me get up!"

"Snap—"

"My foot slipped, let's try again!"

"boom--"

"Not enough space, let's come again!"

"null--"

"I'm not playing anymore, you're pretty boring."

Little Hyotei, take it down!

Hyotei exhaled a breath of black mist. Who among us understands this? The Angelic Domain can purify ice elements, but the elemental power of the far north has no effect on it!

With a flash of emerald light, Hyotei transformed into a little girl with twin ponytails, her neck stiff and puffed out in a huff:

"Hey, what do you want me to do?"

Let's play around with pigtails...

Just kidding. With Xue Di watching intently from the side, Ling Bai abandoned the tempting idea and instead said:

"Bring those three fish over."

"oh."

Hyotei dragged three mermaids over. The sea princess's bloodline was frozen and she could not move. Liya and Lijing were covered in injuries caused by the golden dragon and stared at the demons in despair.

Ling Bai reduced one-third of the power of the Great Cold Without Snow for Princess Hai, allowing her to move normally. Princess Hai shielded her two daughters behind her and said coldly:

"The Demon of the Sea, the Snow Emperor, the Far North!"

The great sea god will surely not let you get away with this!

"Hey, I have such a bad temper!"

Hyotei rolled up his sleeves, ready to give the sea princess a couple of punches, but Ling Bai grabbed his twin ponytails, which seemed destined for him.

"Don't rush Hyotei. I have never advocated violence; I believe in reasoning with people."

Ling Bai smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"Any creature can be tamed. The method is simple: find what they value most, take it out and destroy it in front of them, and watch them helpless. Even the fiercest lion will turn into a docile cat."

Ling Bai took Liya and Lijing from the Sea Princess's side, placing one in each hand and gently stroking the back of their heads with his palms. On the surface, this was undoubtedly an intimate gesture, but considering their antagonistic relationship, in the Sea Princess's eyes, this action could twist their two beautiful heads off at any moment.

There is an old saying in the human world: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

Ling Bai comforted the two mermaid princesses who were trembling with fear.

"Conquer the sea for me, build statues, and harvest the faith of the sea spirit beasts."

Or perhaps it will become a human's soul ring or soul bone.

"Sea Princess, whether you and your daughter have these three lives is entirely up to you."
