Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 427 You ask who I am? I am your master!

Hyotei narrowed her eyes slightly, her beautiful, emerald-like pupils flashing with a dangerous light as she looked Lin Xiao up and down, seemingly assessing his strength.

"Human, this is not a place for you."

Hyotei's voice is very beautiful.

But it was very cold, as cold as the eternal ice of the far north.

Lin Xiao said, "I have come from afar, so I must have something to ask for."

"Even if we gain nothing, just being able to witness the heroic figures of the three great monarchs of the far north will make the trip worthwhile."

Hyotei sneered.

Suddenly, she exuded an extremely strong aura of pressure.

Ice Emperor's cultivation has reached 390,000 years, not far from the Heavenly Tribulation of 400,000 years. In addition, as the only Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, her bloodline is powerful.

In an instant, extreme cold invaded Shang Linxiao's body.

In a daze, one can still see the powerful phantom of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion roaring to the sky.

Lin Xiao's body ignited with the golden flames of the sun.

The overwhelming power of the Fire Within a Fire rendered Hyotei's attack ineffective.

Lin Xiao laughed:

"Hyotei just returned, and we haven't had a proper welcome dinner for you yet. I just happened to brew some fresh flower tea; would you do me the honor of sharing a cup?"

Hyotei had already caught a whiff of the delicate floral fragrance permeating the air.

Refreshing.

This calmed her down, even though she was usually short-tempered, and made her feel happy.

Moreover, my spirits were subtly lifted.

"You've really gone all out! Even the tea leaves are made with a rare, time-honored medicine!"

Lin Xiao smiled without saying a word.

Actually, he's just a little cunning boy.

Hyotei has a fiery temper, so to avoid not giving the other party a chance to speak, Lin Xiao brewed this pleasant flower tea for several days in a row.

A faint emerald light enveloped the Ice Emperor, and then a stunningly beautiful figure appeared before Lin Xiao, with a delicate face, four emerald demonic patterns on each side of her face, and emerald hair flowing down her back.

Hyotei's skin was as clear as ice and snow, and her temperament was cold and beautiful.

If there's anything to be desired, it's that Hyotei is only 1.5 meters tall, which always makes Lin Xiao inexplicably think of a middle school student. Yet, no matter how cold and aloof her face and temperament are, she still looks extremely young.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like to be trampled on and insulted by someone with Hyotei's appearance and fiery personality.

Hyotei, with an icy expression, crawled into Lin Xiao's tent.

Just now, Lin Xiao was able to withstand her pressure, which gave him the right to sit and talk with her. Otherwise, in the world of soul beasts where strength is paramount, he wouldn't even be able to have tea with Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao is a member of Hyotei.

His life, death, and fate will be entirely in the hands of Hyotei.

If you don't obey, you'll get whipped with a small leather whip.

……

Inside the tent.

The aroma of the tea was exceptionally rich.

Lin Xiao offered a cup of tea to Hyotei, who took it and took a small sip.

Not poisonous.

It smells so good!

She couldn't resist and drank the entire cup of tea in one gulp.

Involuntarily, a pleasant smile appeared on Hyotei's small, delicate face, and her previous icy demeanor instantly melted away.

However, she quickly realized this.

He forced a downward twitch at the corners of his mouth, his expression turning cold and serious again.

"Your tea is alright; it should be very effective in calming the mind and restoring energy."

"But if you're thinking of using this tea to curry favor with me, I advise you to give up on that idea!"

"You're saying there's a deal to make with me? And it's related to my 400,000-year heavenly tribulation?"

"You must give me a satisfactory explanation, or I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead!"

This little girl is so fierce!
Although appearance is an external thing, it can sometimes be incredibly important.

Even when Hyotei spoke to Lin Xiao fiercely, he didn't feel intimidated in the slightest. The culprit, of course, was that adorable face. Lin Xiao sighed:
“Soul beasts will undergo a heavenly tribulation every 100,000 years.”

"The Heavenly Tribulation is a matter of life and death, and the further you go, the lower the chance of survival becomes."

"Among the kings of the far north, the Snow Emperor faces a 70-year tribulation, while you, Ice Emperor, face a 40-year tribulation. It is truly lamentable."

"How difficult is the life of a soul beast?"

Hyotei's expression grew increasingly cold, and his voice gradually became icy.

I'm asking you one last time!

"What I need is a way to survive the 40-year heavenly tribulation!"

"If you keep spouting this nonsense, don't blame me for turning on you!"

It seems that Lin Xiao's words struck a nerve with Hyotei.

Her attitude became increasingly worse.

Lin Xiao said slowly:
"No hurries."

"The ultimate goal of soul beasts' cultivation is to achieve immortality, and the only way to achieve immortality is to become a god. For soul beasts, there are usually two paths to becoming a god."

"First, the path of ferocious beasts. After cultivating for a million years, one must undergo ten heavenly tribulations. Moreover, because the God Realm does not tolerate soul beasts, even if one survives the heavenly tribulations and becomes a god, the final fate may still be very tragic."

"Second, the path of transformation and rebirth allows one to transform into a human. However, before reaching the Soul Saint level, there is a risk of being discovered by humans and having their Soul Rings stolen. Even if one successfully cultivates to the level of Title Douluo or even Limit Douluo, apart from having a longer lifespan than humans, the hope of becoming a god is still slim."

"Moreover, after a soul beast survives its second tribulation, it will be unable to transform and rebuild its form. For you, Ice Emperor, this path is no longer viable."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, a gloomy look appeared on Hyotei's face.

Lin Xiao is absolutely right.

She had little confidence in surviving the 400,000-year tribulation.

"But I have a way."

The boy's words were extremely calm, almost like casual conversation.

Hyotei was slightly taken aback at first, then realized what was happening.

A pair of emerald eyes stared intently at Lin Xiao.

"Human, you should know what happens when you deceive me!"

Hyotei's face was as cold as frost.

If Lin Xiao gives her hope and then shatters it.

Then, Hyotei will teach him what cruelty is.

Lin Xiao had whetted everyone's appetite and was no longer keeping them in suspense.

"Hyotei".

"The third option is to sacrifice yourself to me, to become my soul, to share my glory and my loss! On the day I become a god, you will undergo a qualitative transformation with me, thus becoming immortal, and even becoming a god under my command!"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on Hyotei.

Looking forward to the other person's choice.

Hyotei's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply:
"How dare you! Who exactly are you?"

"How can you be so arrogant!"

An overwhelming ferocity was unleashed from Hyotei.

It seemed as if the snow and wind had coalesced into a giant dragon, crushing towards Lin Xiao.

At this time, the Ice Emperor was still 10,000 years away from the Heavenly Tribulation, unlike the imminent one in Douluo Continent II. This was Lin Xiao's disadvantage compared to Huo Yuhao.

But he also has advantages.

That is, compared to the initially weak Huo Yuhao.

Lin Xiao has enough strength to prove that becoming a god is not difficult for him!

But Hyotei had lost the patience to listen any further.

Her voice was chilling, and emerald green soul power was already gathering around her as she said in a cold voice:

"Answer my question: Who exactly are you?!"

At this moment, a powerful aura of bloodline suddenly rose from Lin Xiao's body, which even made Ice Emperor feel awe.

A clear, crisp female voice rang out.

Who is Lin Xiao?

"I'm telling you, he's your master!"
