Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

The pale light shone into the ancient ice cave, dispersing the slightly stuffy air and diluting the intense joy, leaving everything peaceful and serene.

Two figures lay on a crystal-clear ice bed. The Snow Empress's pretty face was flushed, her long white hair was disheveled, and she was savoring the wonderful feeling in her mind. On both sides of her waist and hips, a pair of hands were constantly making mischievous gestures.

After a few minutes, her beautiful sky-blue eyes regained focus, and she glared at the handsome young man with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance, her voice tinged with suppressed panting:

"I knew you had ill intentions!"

"Yes, you've finally gotten your wish. You can't escape now."

Ling Bai embraced Xue Di, his hot breath spraying on her neck. His gaze slid over her perfect body, her snow-white attire reminiscent of a blooming rose of the same color, with thorns and petals layered around the soft stamen.

"Who cares about you?"

Xue Di's face was cold, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her true feelings. The two had known each other for six years, and she had witnessed his growth from a weak Soul Master to the Holy Evil Douluo who was famous throughout the world.

She knew Ling Bai too well; she could sense his restless desire through the slightest change in his expression.

Having regained his physical body and with the three ferocious beasts on the verge of breaking through to higher realms, this double blessing is worth celebrating. Moreover, the Snow Empress is not without feelings for Ling Bai.

As the ruler of ice and snow in the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, the Snow Emperor is undoubtedly a decisive person. Once she makes up her mind, she will definitely put it into action. So she simply went along with Ling Bai's plan and fulfilled his wish.

I know you have ulterior motives, and you know I'm playing hard to get.

Inside the Eternal Ice Cave, the two explore the origins of life together.

Ling Bai, representing the human side, remarked with feeling: "The spirit of the far north is very nourishing."

Snow Emperor is also a contrast, the stimulation of ice and fire is captivating.

As the intermission ended, Xiao Bai stood tall and proud, his fingertips climbing up Xue Di's pale calves. Before entering the secret realm, Xue Di grasped Ling Bai's wrist, forbidding him from teasing her.

"Don't move. You have no mercy on me. I'm sore right now, so don't come anymore."

"Okay, let's rest."

Ling Bai suppressed his keen interest and tucked the long hair that had fallen across Xue Di's forehead behind her ear. This Ice and Snow Ruler had watched countless real-life brawls and had extremely rich theoretical experience, making the teamwork between them incredibly smooth.

This spurred Ling Bai to go all out, to the point that the Snow Emperor, with her 700,000 years of cultivation, had no choice but to withdraw from the battle.

"Come with me to the far north," the Snow Empress said softly. "Bing'er, Atai, and Xiao... Xiaopang are absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, which has triggered a heavenly tribulation. We will protect them and help them safely overcome it."

"Um."

Ling Bai had no objection. Dragon City was adjacent to the far north, so he could naturally fulfill the Snow Empress's small request.

"By the way, now that you have a body again, you should start working on condensing the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores and officially step into the Limit Douluo realm."

"I……"

Xue Di pursed her rosy lips, her beautiful eyes revealing obvious hesitation: "The Evil Emperor's spatial understanding has benefited me greatly, and my foundation is also sufficient."

"The Ice and Snow Maiden is the daughter of the far north, and the far north is the most suitable natural environment for me. If I want to break through to the second soul core, I will have to go into seclusion here for a period of time..."

"So you're saying that you can't be with me during your seclusion?"

Ling Bai couldn't help but chuckle as he deciphered Xue Di's subtext.

When her thoughts were exposed, Xue Di's cheeks flushed bright red. She turned away angrily, avoiding seeing that irritating smiling face.

Encircling her slender, supple waist, Ling Bai inhaled the fresh, frosty fragrance of her hair and said, "Snow Emperor, we are both independent individuals. We are together to move forward hand in hand. You cannot delay your own growth because of me."

You've already gained experience from your first failure, and you've seen me condense a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core. I'll succeed in a year or two, then come find me in Nine Treasures City.

Could it be... that you couldn't resist for even a year, love-struck Xue'er?

"Ling Bai, I'll bite you to death!!!"

These words immediately ignited the Snow Empress's fury. She turned back and bit him hard, then flipped over and loomed over him, looking down at Ling Bai with icy eyes as if he were trash, and commanded:

"I've recovered, let's try again!"

"Yes, ma'am."

The Bone Dragon King squatted outside the cave, holding a large lump of Ice Extreme Crystals to ward off the constant chill from all around, and sighed deeply.

You two, stop making spicy food!

Could you please take me back first?

The dragon froze to death!

The second battle ended with Xue Di Xin overflowing with energy, and the two left the Earth Dragon Gate, flying towards the far north.

The endless mountain peaks are covered in snow, like the most exquisite sculptures of nature. Under the moonlight, the mountains are dressed in silver, as if they are draped in a mysterious veil.

They entered the core area of ​​the far north without any hindrance. Xue Di pulled Ling Bai down to the ground. According to her, she hoped to stroll with the person she loved in the far north that she loved so much.

Snowflakes fell, carpeting their feet with a soft, pure blanket, and their breath condensed into white mist in the cold air.

As they walked, they left behind a series of intersecting footprints. The snow, with its unique magic, perfectly preserved these footprints, a testament to their journey through the snow and a mark of the time they shared.

As they walked, Ling Bai fell a step behind Xue Di, standing directly behind her and placing his hands on her shoulders.

The two stopped and looked behind them at the long trail of footprints, some deep, some shallow, some straight, some winding, stretching across the snow until they merged into one.

The moment she turned around, Xue Di froze. From a certain moment on, Ling Bai stepped on her footprints, as if walking the path she had walked.

"Let's walk together for the next seven hundred thousand years."

Those golden eyes were clear and bright, shining brightly and illuminating the Snow Emperor's heart. Her beautiful face smiled like a flower, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

"it is good."

Two hands clasped tightly, then lips met; these beautiful moments are like footprints in the snow, which, even when covered by new snow, will leave an eternal mark in the heart.

"You damn human, what are you doing?!"

A blizzard swept across the distance, and the three great ferocious beasts of the far north—the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Titan Snow Demon King, and the Ice Bear King—rushed towards the Snow Emperor upon hearing his call.

A hundred miles away, Hyotei spotted the two engrossed in each other. With a whoosh of wind beneath his feet, he shook off the two ferocious beasts, his voice like the mournful cry of a cuckoo:

"Shut up! No kissing, you idiot!!!"

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion transformed into human form. The twin-tailed little loli had tears in her eyes. The Ice Emperor's Turtle swung wide and struck Ling Bai's waist. Her lips, which had never been touched by anyone before, were kissed by that bastard human!

Ling Bai didn't even turn her head. She caught Bingdi's fist with one hand and gently pushed her away. Bingdi stumbled back three steps and plopped down in the snow. She watched as Xuedi's eyes were filled with an ambiguous and hazy look, a look she had never seen before!

"Xue'er is finished..."

Hyotei froze as if he were under Medusa's gaze; if this were an anime, Hyotei would surely have been split in two!

Ling Bai glanced at the furious twin-tailed little girl out of the corner of his eye and wondered with a wicked grin whether she would have a heart attack if she knew that the Snow Empress she longed for had been kicked by someone who stood up.

"Mom/Snow Empress!"

The Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King finally arrived. They respectfully bowed to the Snow Emperor and then bowed to Ling Bai.

Now that things have come to this, what don't they understand? Snow Empress has fallen in love and become a prisoner of humans!

Snow Empress pushed Ling Bai away, cleared her throat, and regained her dignity as the ruler of the far north:

"I have returned this time for only one purpose: to help you through this great calamity."

The bracelet automatically detached and transformed into fifteen strands of ancient ice marrow, five for each beast, which were then distributed equally among the Snow Emperor.

"Ling Bai is concerned about your tribulations and specially sought out the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. You must not let him down."

Since he was the partner she had chosen, Xue Di naturally wanted to praise Ling Bai in front of her family and subordinates to make it easier for everyone to accept him.

"Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Dad!"

The Ice Bear King shouted it out smoothly, followed closely by the Titan Snow Demon King, who expressed his gratitude. The Ice Emperor hesitated for a long time, glancing between Ling Bai and the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow several times, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the Ice Marrow and squeezed out the word "thank you" through gritted teeth.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If Xue Di is gone, you have to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, or you won't even have a chance to poach her!

The three ferocious beasts sat on the ground absorbing the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow, with Ling Baixue Emperor protecting them. The Ice Emperor, with the deepest cultivation, was the first to complete the process, which naturally attracted four hundred thousand heavenly tribulations.

To prevent damage to the far north environment, the Ice Emperor rushed towards the far north edge. A lightning tribulation was brewing, and the entire sky became extremely dark, with thick clouds gathering and lingering, and streaks of lightning crisscrossing across the sky.

The immense pressure forced countless northern soul beasts to prostrate themselves on the ground; only soul beasts over 100,000 years old dared to roar amidst the lightning, defying the overwhelming might of the heavens.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Ice Emperor hard on the head. Ice Emperor transformed back into its Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion form and roared to the sky. Ice Emperor Protection was released, and hexagonal diamond ice crystals covered its body surface. Its two front pincers bravely met the lightning.

"Hey, it doesn't hurt!"

As expected, the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow lived up to its reputation. The Ice Emperor's body was filled with rich energy. Several bolts of lightning struck down, but it relied on the powerful physique of a soul beast to release the ultimate ice soul power to its limit. A shield floated in the air, steadily withstanding the lightning tribulation.

Full of confidence, the Ice Emperor unleashed a massive emerald beam of light that shot skyward, crashing headlong into the tribulation clouds. In an instant, the area within a radius of several thousand meters centered on the beam of light transformed into a world of ice and snow, with snowflakes swirling and the temperature plummeting.

The Wrath of the Ice Emperor!

"How arrogant..."

Ling Bai and Xue Di were ashamed. How could Bing Di provoke the Heavenly Tribulation?

Enraged by the Ice Emperor, the tribulation clouds deepened in color, and one after another, spherical bolts of world-destroying lightning descended, lashing down at the Ice Emperor in a cathartic outburst. The Ice Emperor was immediately terrified. The heavenly tribulation showed no mercy, and in an instant, it surged to a level even more ferocious than the Snow Emperor's five hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation!

"Xue'er, save me!"

Xue Di sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Seeing this, Ling Bai patted the back of her hand. Xue Di had just obtained a body and still needed to condense the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores. It was not suitable for her to fight and expend her power.

In the sky, Hyotei scurried away, dodging the furious lightning tribulation. Suddenly, a golden holy sword hovered in mid-air, facing the tribulation clouds high above, and made a horizontal slashing motion.

The tribulation cloud that had plunged the Ice Emperor into dire straits was actually shattered into countless fragments by that single sword strike. At the same time, beneath Ling Bai's feet, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord Platinum Soul Ring shone brilliantly.

Hyotei landed back on the ground, still shaken, looking guilty. Just as she was considering whether to thank Ling Bai for saving her life, Ling Bai tilted his head and smiled contemptuously:

"Small breasts, big temper, and poor skills."

Incredible critical hit!

"You...you...you, I'll fight you to the death!!!"

Ice Emperor nearly turned into a fire-attribute being in a rage and rushed up to fight Ling Bai to the death. Two and a half seconds later, the 400,000 Ice Jade Emperor Scorpions were easily suppressed by Saint Evil Douluo.

With the Ice Emperor as a prime example of failure, the Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King learned their lesson and obediently withstood the heavenly tribulation, evolving into 300,000-year-old ferocious beasts.

The three ferocious beasts returned to their respective territories, and Ling Bai and Xue Di went to Xue Di's residence—Xue Di Palace.

Throughout the journey, Xue Di's joy was palpable. All three ferocious beasts had survived the great calamity of heaven and earth and would live for at least another 100,000 years. Even without her, the far north would still be peaceful and tranquil. She could finally relieve herself of the pressure on her shoulders.

The Snow Emperor Palace stands atop a millennia-old glacier in the core of the far north. Its grandeur and beauty are enough to amaze any living being that sees it.

With ice as walls and snow as tiles, every brick and tile shimmers with the light of ice. The gate is carved from millennia-old ice, depicting various wonders of the far north, from the sunlight of the polar day to the stars of the polar night, from glacial crevasses to snowfield spirit beasts, as if telling the ancient legends of the ice and snow kingdom.

The palace interior was even more magnificent, with icicles hanging from the dome, reflecting the faint light and creating a series of flowing light and shadow paintings. The ground was covered with a thin layer of frost, and each step made a crisp sound, as if it were the joyful song of ice spirits.

The Snow Emperor Palace belongs exclusively to the Snow Emperor. Even the Ice Emperor, the Second Heavenly King of the Far North, cannot set foot there without the Snow Emperor's permission. The icy gates opened, and the two entered together.

To Ling Bai's surprise, the first thing the Snow Emperor did upon entering the Snow Emperor Palace was to take out a small white flower, from which was connected a dark stone.

"The Acacia Heartbreak Red." The Snow Emperor smiled faintly. "Do you remember? There were two Acacia Heartbreak Red plants in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. I took the second one when you weren't looking."

"I know," Ling Bai said.

Such a large acacia tree, how broad must one's heart be to not see it? But no matter how close the relationship, people must understand the art of leaving room for interpretation in their interactions.

I took it, that's all. Xue Di is more important than Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong, that's all.

Xue Di said wistfully, "At that time, I didn't understand feelings, so I planned to use it to determine my feelings."

At the same time, I'm a little worried. What if my love isn't as steadfast as I thought?

"Then let's plant this flower in the far north," Ling Bai joked. "Anyway, no matter what the outcome, whether the Acacia Heartbreak Red falls or not, you belong to me."

"When you've made up your mind, just try it secretly."

"I give up..."

Despite saying this, Xue Di bent down and carefully planted the Acacia Heartbreak Red in the center of the main hall.

"I'm going into seclusion. After I condense the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, I'll go to Nine Treasures City to find you as soon as possible."

Ling Bai nodded, but his expression suddenly changed drastically. Xue Di quickly supported him and asked anxiously:

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I suddenly feel uneasy, as if it's a warning from the power of fate." Ling Bai tightly gripped Xue Di's hand.

"There's only one place that could elicit this reaction from me... the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Something's happened at the sect, I'm going back immediately!"

Tianhun Empire, Nine Treasure City.

"Uncle, Uncle, we've arrived."

Tang Wutong coldly surveyed the bustling city, with Niu Tian, ​​Titan, and eight Title Douluos carrying Clear Sky Hammers beside her. Behind them, dozens of Clear Sky Sect disciples with seventh and eighth rings floated in the air.

Niu Tian, ​​the Grand Master of the Haotian Sect, took a deep breath and roared:

"Kill all members of the Haotian Sect!"
