Thick bolts of lightning, as powerful as mountains, struck down relentlessly. The Ice Emperor's indestructible body was blasted into numerous cracks by the heavenly tribulation, and his emerald-green blood stained the ancient ice.
Her life force was rapidly fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, the image froze on the moment she was about to die!
"No--!"
Hyotei let out a shrill scream, her delicate body trembling violently, her emerald eyes filled with terror and despair.
"How could this be? I... I'm going to die under the heavenly tribulation?"
"I'm not reconciled! I've cultivated for nearly four hundred thousand years, I'm not reconciled to die like this!"
Snow Empress's expression instantly turned serious. She reached out and pulled Ice Empress into her arms, gently comforting her.
"Little Bing'er, don't be afraid."
"Have you forgotten the previous review of the top performers? The future is not set in stone!"
"The Golden List has revealed your future precisely to give you an opportunity to change your destiny! Moreover, there are still Heavenly rewards yet to be bestowed, which are your greatest reliance in defying fate!"
Snow Empress's words were like a clear spring, restoring a sliver of reason to Ice Empress, who was on the verge of collapse.
Yes, the future can be changed.
There are also Heavenly Rewards!
...
Meanwhile, in the Starry Sky Forest, at the Lake of Life.
The awakened ferocious beasts also saw the contents of the golden list in the sky.
"Is it one of the ice and snow overlords of the far north?"
"Nearly 400,000 years... Unfortunately, it ultimately could not escape the tribulation of heaven."
"Hmph, the ways of Heaven are unjust, how harsh they are on my soul beast race!"
"Let's wait and see if this Heavenly Reward can truly help her defy fate."
...
The Heavenly Dou Allied Forces Camp.
"hiss--"
When they saw the words "400,000 years" on the list of successful candidates and the terrifying scene of the heavenly tribulation, everyone involuntarily gasped.
"A four-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast!"
"My God, what does this even mean?!"
The Shrek students looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
Tang San's pupils also contracted sharply.
The strength of a soul beast of this age has probably surpassed human comprehension!
"However, it will perish under the heavenly tribulation!"
Ma Hongjun shouted excitedly.
"Third Brother, this is our chance! If we can help it survive the heavenly tribulation, won't it be eternally grateful to you and submit to you?"
Master Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed, and he immediately added.
"That's right! Little Third, you possess the divine power of the Sea God, and that is your greatest asset!"
"You can promise it that as long as it submits to you, you will help it overcome its heavenly tribulation in the future!"
"Faced with a life-or-death situation, it has no reason to refuse!"
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak.
She had a slender figure, and her fitted outfit accentuated her beautiful curves. Her worried expression at that moment made her even more pitiful.
"But... what if it refuses to submit? It's a 400,000-year-old soul beast; it must be very proud."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's lips curled into a cold smile.
"You don't want to?"
His eyes were deep, and his tone carried an indifferent air, like a god looking down upon the mortal world.
"A mere soul beast has no choice when faced with life and death."
"If it is sensible and serves me as its master, I will grant it a new life."
"If it doesn't know what's good for it, then it can only wait for death in despair."
"After it dies, its soul ring and soul bone will also be mine."
"Stop saying so much!"
Dai Mubai on the stretcher couldn't wait to roar.
"Tang San! Hurry! We must find it before the Heavenly Reward descends!"
"I want that reward! Only that reward can heal my hand!"
The master made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice.
"Dai Mubai is right! There's no time to lose, we must set off immediately!"
"Xiao San, take Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Rongrong with you. They can provide you with the best assistance. We're here to reorganize the army and await your good news!"
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San anxiously.
Tang San nodded slowly, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"good."
He looked at Ma Hongjun and the other two.
"Let's go!"
Ma Hongjun patted his chest, full of confidence.
"Don't worry, Third Brother, it's just a scorpion. We've got it covered!"
As soon as the words were spoken, four figures soared into the sky, transforming into streaks of light and speeding towards the northern horizon.
...
Jialing Pass, atop the city tower.
The honorees of the Spirit Hall were also deeply shocked by the contents of the Golden List.
"A 400,000-year-old soul beast... its strength has probably surpassed that of any Limit Douluo in the world!"
The Golden Crocodile Douluo's tone carried a hint of amazement and apprehension.
"It's a pity that it couldn't escape the fate of being turned to ashes by heavenly tribulation."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but Tang Chen remained calm and composed.
Will the future breakthrough fail?
It seems that my arrival caused the butterfly effect.
He knew in his heart that the so-called "destiny and opportunity" must be Huo Yuhao.
However, the future is not static.
If the Spirit Hall wins this battle, the trajectory of Douluo Continent will be completely rewritten, and many things in the future will naturally not happen.
Just then, a blue silver grass at his feet swayed gently.
The network of billions of Blue Silver Grass continuously fed information from across the continent into his mind.
A slight smile appeared on Tang Chen's lips as he slowly spoke.
"Tang San has set off, leading three people, and is heading at full speed towards the far north."
"What?!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were greatly shocked.
"What is he trying to do? Is he trying to steal the Heavenly Dao rewards?"
"No, it's worse than that."
Qian Renxue's clear and firm voice rang out.
Dressed in magnificent angelic attire, she stepped forward, her long, straight legs wrapped in golden silk beneath her divine battle skirt exuding a divine rhythm and breathtaking beauty with every step.
Her golden eyes were fixed on Tang Chen, her tone resolute.
"He wants to tame that Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!"
We must not let him succeed!
"My husband, come with me!"
Tang Chen looked at her resolute yet stunningly beautiful face, and his smile deepened.
He stepped forward, reached out and pulled the delicate body clad in sacred armor into his arms, feeling the warmth and holy fragrance emanating from her.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
"good."
"I'll do as you say, my Queen."
On the Jialing Pass tower, golden divine light intertwined with silver moonlight.
Tang Chen's voice was gentle. Qian Renxue leaned against him, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat. The fighting spirit and tenderness in her heart intertwined and turned into a reassuring smile.
The two transformed into two streaks of light, tearing through the sky and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
At the very moment they set off, the golden list above the nine heavens, under the watchful eyes of all, finally descended upon the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, bestowing its final judgment and blessing.
