Chapter 210: Anomaly on the slaughter ranking list
Facing this sudden siege, Snow Empress's expression remained unchanged.
She only slowly raised the extreme cold divine scepter in her hand.
The deep blue gem at the head of the scepter bloomed with a radiance even more dazzling than before!
"Just right, I'll use you to test the power of the Nine Absolutes of the Ice God."
Snow Empress's cold voice echoed in the canyon.
"First Form!"
"All Things Frozen!"
There was no earth-shattering momentum, no phenomenon of tearing space.
Only a light blue circular ripple, centered on Snow Empress, spread silently in all directions.
Everywhere the ripple passed, time seemed to stand still.
The Abyssal creatures that were charging suddenly slowed down and became stiff.
Crystal-clear ice crystals rapidly condensed on the surface of their bodies!
The few Abyssal Worms charging at the very front didn't even have time to scream before they were completely frozen into ice sculptures, maintaining their charging posture, frozen in mid-air!
Black Emperor's pupils shrank suddenly!
He could feel that the ripple contained extreme cold, and... some kind of higher-level power of Law!
That was a suppression of Law that even his strength could not contend with!
"Escape!"
This was the only thought in Black Emperor's mind.
But it was already too late.
The ripple touched his body, and a bone-chilling cold instantly invaded his entire body; his movements began to slow.
The abyssal power within his body stagnated, and even his thoughts seemed to freeze!
"No!!"
Black Emperor let out an unwilling roar, desperately urging the abyssal power within his body, trying to resist this chill.
However, in the face of an absolute difference in strength, his struggle appeared so powerless.
In just three breaths of time!
Black Emperor's body was completely covered in ice crystals, turning into a lifelike ice sculpture.
A look of terror and unwillingness still remained on his face.
And the hundreds of Abyssal creatures behind him were also all frozen; the entire canyon turned into a bizarre exhibition hall of ice sculptures.
Snow Empress slowly lowered the divine scepter, her expression unchanged.
The power of that strike just now was indeed astonishing!
It didn't consume too much of her Soul Power either.
She walked to Black Emperor's ice sculpture, a hint of solemnity flashing in her ice-blue eyes.
"The strength of these invaders... cannot be underestimated."
Snow Empress murmured to herself.
"A single vanguard squad is led by someone comparable to a Rank 97 Super Douluo; how strong must their main force be?"
She looked up at the spatial rift in the sky that had not yet completely disappeared, her brow furrowed.
"It seems the crisis warned by the heavenly curtain... has already begun."
Snow Empress no longer hesitated; her figure turned into a streak of ice-blue light and soared into the sky, intending to consolidate the forces of the Far North... just as all living beings across the entire Douluo Continent were still anticipating the eighth place on the divine artifact ranking.
Another anomaly occurred in the sky!
That blood-colored list that had been quietly floating next to the divine artifact ranking—the slaughter ranking list.
Suddenly began to vibrate violently at this moment!
"Boom boom boom!"
Blood-colored light surged like a tide!
Countless shadows of hideous demons, roaring Ferocious beasts, and fighting warriors appeared on the surface of the list.
A thick, inseparable scent of blood and slaughter diffused from it, making the spines of all living beings who saw this scene turn cold!
"Is that... the slaughter ranking list?"
"What's going on? Why did the slaughter ranking list suddenly move?"
"The heavenly curtain said before that the slaughter ranking list is related to the invasion of other planes... Could it be?"
Before everyone could guess further... Buzz!
The first line of the blood-colored list suddenly lit up with a blinding blood light!
Characters condensed from blood slowly appeared on the list.
[slaughter ranking list: Real-time Update]
[First Place: Snow Empress]
[Killed Extra-planar Beings: Abyssal Worm × 42, Abyssal Demon Man × 38, Abyssal Shadow Demon × 75, Black Emperor (Rank 97) × 1]
[Slaughter Points: 398]
The moment these blood-red words fully appeared, the entire Douluo Continent fell into an unprecedented dead silence!
After the silence came a clamor and terror like a landslide or a tsunami!
"Snow Empress!"
"398 slaughter points... she killed extra-planar invaders!"
"Abyssal Worms, Abyssal Demon Men, Abyssal Shadow Demons... and even the Rank 97 Black Emperor!"
"My god! The extra-planar invasion... has really begun!"
"The first invasion site is the Far North! It was discovered by Snow Empress!"
"Snow Empress killed the invaders in the Far North, but what about other places?"
"..."
Panic spread across the Douluo Continent like a plague.
Although the heavenly curtain had previously warned of the "extra-planar invasion" crisis.
But it was only a warning after all; many people still harbored a trace of luck.
Thinking it might be some kind of test by the heavenly curtain or a distant threat.
But now, the real-time update of the slaughter ranking list.
Told them with bloody facts!
The crisis has arrived!
And the first to clash with the invaders was actually Snow Empress, who had just shone brilliantly on the divine artifact ranking!
...Spirit City, Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu looked at Snow Empress's name on the slaughter ranking list, a look of true solemnity appearing in his golden eyes for the first time.
"Black Emperor is equivalent to a Super Douluo!"
He murmured to himself, "Snow Empress can annihilate such a vanguard squad; her strength is indeed astonishing!"
He looked up at the heavenly curtain, his gaze deep: "This might only be the vanguard. If the extra-planar army truly arrives..."
"Send down the order!"
Qian Daoliu turned around, his voice majestic.
"All Spirit Hall Elders and Titled Douluo, gather at the Hall of Worship immediately!"
"At the same time, activate the highest alert for the Spirit Hall, strengthen the defenses of all branch halls, and closely monitor any abnormal spatial fluctuations within our jurisdiction!"
"Yes!"
A respectful response came from outside the hall... Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the slaughter ranking list, a trace of complex emotion flashing in her purple eyes.
There was vigilance, wariness, and also a faint trace of excitement.
"An extra-planar invasion; great chaos is coming!"
She murmured to herself.
"Heroes emerge in troubled times; perhaps this is my Opportunity."
She immediately ordered Nana, Xie Yue, and Yan to interrupt all their tasks and return to Spirit City at once.
"As you command!"
Gui Mei bowed and took the order, then vanished into the shadows.
Bibi Dong looked toward the Far North, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "Snow Empress, you've certainly seized the initiative."
"However, from now on, the top of the slaughter ranking list must be the Soul Masters of our Spirit Hall!"
...Star Dou Great Forest, by the Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena looked at Snow Empress's name on the slaughter ranking list, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes, which then turned into deep solemnity.
"Abyss Plane!"
She whispered this unfamiliar name.
"It seems the crisis warned by the heavenly curtain is coming faster than we imagined."
Di Tian said in a deep voice, "My Lord, what do we need to do?"
Gu Yuena pondered for a moment and said slowly, "First, strengthen the patrols of the Star Dou Great Forest, especially the spatial weak points."
"Second, send out Soul Beasts skilled in stealth to infiltrate the human World and gather intelligence on the extra-planar invasion."
...Big Dipper Academy.
Lu Xiao looked at the update of the slaughter ranking list on the heavenly curtain, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"It's actually the Far North?"
He murmured softly, "The spatial rift of the Abyss Plane, the first connection point, seems to be located in the Far North."
Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and the others also gathered around, their faces filled with solemnity.
Ning Rongrong said worriedly, "Principal, although Senior Snow Empress repelled the vanguard, the army of the Abyss Plane..."
Lu Xiao waved his hand slightly: "No need to worry too much. Although the Abyss Plane is strong, limited by the Laws of the plane, they cannot deploy too many troops at once."
Lu Xiao nodded: "The point rules of the slaughter ranking list—killing extra-planar beings earns points, and those at the top of the ranking can receive rewards!"
"This is your Opportunity!"
Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the others lit up: "Don't worry, Principal, we guarantee we'll slaughter our way through the invaders!"
Lu Xiao nodded.
With this trial of the Abyss Plane, the academy will undergo earth-shaking changes!
