Chapter 123 The Two Emperors of Ice and Snow Make the List! Miyamoto Musashi Arrives!
Sun and Moon Continent.
The empire, the capital city, the imperial palace.
"Aaaaah! Evil Emperor, my father and I will never share the same sky with you!!"
Xu Tianyang and Xu Tianlong are currently seriously injured and receiving treatment.
In the previous battle with the Evil Emperor, after both sides used their trump cards and killing moves, both were seriously injured in the end.
The two of them were unable to fight any longer, and nearly half of their nearly 10,000-strong army was killed or wounded, including two titled Douluo generals who died in battle!
The enemy's three sons of the Evil Eye Tyrant were unharmed, and a large number of soul beasts came to reinforce them!
Left with no other choice, they could only flee back to the capital in a sorry state, where they endured humiliating treatment!
"Your Majesty, you and the Crown Prince have made the list!"
At that moment, a subordinate pointed to the sky outside the window and exclaimed in surprise.
"Um?!"
Emperor Xu Tianyang and Crown Prince Xu Tianlong turned their eyes to look.
When I saw how low the ranking was, I almost fainted from anger.
"Fourteenth place...? We can't even make the top ten?!"
The next moment, two golden beams of light suddenly shot down from the sky, bestowing a reward upon the father and son.
"Boom—Boom—"
In an instant, the age of Xu Tianyang and Xu Tianlong's soul rings soared.
The father and son's spirit rings still feature eight black and one red rings, but the colors have become deeper.
Especially the eighth soul ring, which has reached over 90,000 years and is about to reach 100,000 years!
Finally, each of them received a reward soul bone and a low-level treasure:
"Low-grade Treasure Cloth Armor: Wearing or absorbing this item permanently increases physical defense by 10%, and this effect can stack with skill bonuses!"
"Great! Great!!"
Emperor Xu Tianyang felt all of this and excitedly stood up abruptly.
"So what if my ranking isn't ideal? This reward is like adding wings to a tiger! After I've rested and recuperated, I'll launch another attack on the Evil Emperor!!"
Crown Prince Xu Tianlong also stood up excitedly, his eyes surging with overwhelming fighting spirit:
"Father, the Evil Emperor is seriously injured. We should immediately muster our troops and launch another attack, taking advantage of his weakness to kill him!"
This greatly worried the civil and military officials watching from the sidelines.
The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and this father and son thought they were invincible again?!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is absolutely forbidden!!"
"After this battle, the empire has been severely weakened, and the people are filled with anxiety. We must not rashly launch another military campaign!"
...
The Demon Forest, a forbidden core area.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Those damned human father and son actually received such a reward from the heavens!"
"Heaven is unjust! It keeps strengthening humanity! Where is the living space for us soul beasts?!"
The Evil Eye Tyrant, the Evil Emperor, stared at the contents of the sky and instantly flew into a rage.
"Father, you are still recovering from your serious injuries, please don't get agitated."
Upon seeing this, the three sons of the evil-eyed tyrant quickly stepped forward to support him, coaxing him:
"We've missed out on this list, but maybe the next one will be more favorable to us!"
"If there were a Soul Beast Ranking or a Battle Power Ranking, Father, you would definitely be at least in the top three!"
"Once we get the top three rewards, what are the Xu family father and son? What is the Sun Moon Empire? What is the entire world?!"
"At that time, everything will be at your service!"
The Evil Emperor's heavy breathing gradually subsided, and a violent anticipation surged in his scarlet vertical pupils:
"The next ranking list should ideally be a Soul Beast Ranking; otherwise, if humans continue to benefit, I will never be satisfied!"
"Once I receive the reward and become stronger, I will personally march on the Sun Moon Empire and slaughter all the lowly alien humans!"
...
While the entire plane was still reeling from the shock of the previous ranking.
"Boom—!"
The sky shook with another deafening roar, and the new rankings were announced to the world:
[Combo Attack Ranking]
[Thirteenth Place: The Pride of the Two Ice and Snow Emperors!]
[Representatives of the casters: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion - Ice Emperor, Ice Heaven Snow Maiden - Snow Emperor]
[Represents the faction: The Far North]
[Evaluation: A super offensive/controlling soul beast fusion skill, performed by the fusion of the super offensive/controlling ice-attribute soul beast, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the Heavenly Yuan Power offensive/controlling ice-attribute soul beast, Ice Heaven Snow Maiden, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor!]
When unleashed, the primal power of the two Ice and Snow Emperors merges, concentrating the ultimate ice power into a single palm strike, creating an ice storm whirlwind where green snow and ice blend together. This results in an instantaneous burst of attack, while the energy aftershocks also possess a wide-range freezing control effect!
This technique's control over the elements of ice and snow is unparalleled. Since its creation, it has traversed the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, winning every battle without a single defeat. It is undoubtedly the strongest ice-attribute fusion technique in the world today, its position unshakeable!
[Intermediate Reward: Low-grade Supreme Treasure - Yuan Flow Crystal, two 50,000-year Cultivation Pills!]
[Additional Reward (Cultivating talent within the faction, receiving a gift from Heaven, to be claimed by the faction leader): Mid-grade Supreme Treasure - The Sage's Codex!]
"What?! A soul beast!!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, all the humans in the Douluo Continent were instantly thrown into an uproar.
The announcement sparked a more intense uproar than any previous ranking announcement:
"Soul beasts actually made the list!"
"A mere soul beast possesses such a powerful fusion technique!"
"The strongest ice-attribute fusion technique in the world! This is simply too exaggerated!"
"I remember this Snow Emperor, mentioned in the power rankings, is the Lord of the Far North!"
"And this reward too, two 50,000-year cultivation pills, that's equivalent to a 100,000-year soul beast!!"
All major human factions are now in an unprecedented state of tension.
Who would have thought that the Snow Emperor not only had high cultivation but also possessed such an astonishing trump card.
Even Bibi Dong, whom she considered readily available, fell silent at this moment.
...
Deep within the core region of the far north.
"Xue'er, we're on the list! Thirteenth place?!"
"This...how is this possible? Not even worthy of being in the top ten?!"
Hyotei stared at the contents of the sky, as if struck by lightning and losing their balance.
If Xue Di hadn't caught her, she would have collapsed to the ground by now.
Hyotei shook his head frantically, refusing to believe what he was seeing.
The word 'pride' in the name of her fusion technique reveals that this is a move she is very proud of.
When the combo rankings were first announced, she was convinced that her pride would place her at the top...
But now, this skill that she considers her proudest is not even in the top ten in the world!
"Bing'er, it's alright..."
"Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river..."
Xue Di understood her feelings; to be honest, she wasn't feeling well either.
She was initially hesitant to be at the top, and even the top three seemed uncertain.
But even now, she's not even in the top ten. How can she not feel discouraged?
"Boom—Boom—!"
Just then, four golden beams of light descended from the sky, bestowing a reward upon the two.
The two women each received a pill that could enhance their cultivation by 50,000 years, and one after the other, a supreme treasure:
"Low-grade Treasure - Elemental Crystal: Carrying or absorbing it permanently reduces skill cooldown/casting time by 10%!"
"Mid-grade Treasure - Saint's Codex: Carrying or absorbing this item permanently increases spell attack by 15% and reduces skill cooldown/cast time by 5%, and this effect can stack with skill buffs!"
"Bing'er, don't be discouraged. You'll always be the best. I'll give you the best reward ever."
The Snow Empress comforted her and exchanged the mid-grade treasure in her hand for it.
Hyotei felt a little better, but suddenly hugged her tightly, bit her earlobe, and said angrily:
"It must be your husband's Chang'an that's taking that spot on the list! It's all your husband's fault, I hate him so much, I'll bite off his...root...one...one's lifeline...one day!"
Xue Di's face flushed red instantly:
"What the hell?!"
Little Whitey had been watching the whole time, and now he was dumbfounded.
Just then, the golden sky above erupted with another deafening roar.
"Boom—"
A golden light suddenly burst forth, the old characters recombine, and transform into lines of new characters:
[Combo Attack Ranking]
[12th Place: Unparalleled in the World!]
[Representatives of the performers: Miyamoto Musashi, Big Cheetah - Strategy, Little Cheetah - Planning]
[Representing the faction: Chang'an City...]
