Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 428 For the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress Made Her Choice
A clear, crisp female voice rang out.

A flash of red light appeared on Lin Xiao's body, and a small red bird perched on his shoulder, exuding an aura of holiness and nobility, its voice carrying undeniable pride.

"Lin Xiao is your master!"

Having said that, the maple leaf no longer hid.

Instead, it reveals its true form as a phoenix.

A magnificent and stunning fire phoenix suddenly appeared before Hyotei.

The bloodline suppression emanating from him made Hyotei feel both familiar and awe-inspiring, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to submit.

After revealing her true form as a phoenix, Maple Leaf spat out a beam of red light that shot into Ice Emperor's mind. This was a memory from the Dragon-Phoenix War, as well as Maple Leaf's memories of being the Phoenix God-King, which served as the best proof of her identity.

Hyotei seemed stunned.

He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After a long while, having processed the information in her mind, she looked at the maple leaf with a mixture of shock and awe.

"Lord Phoenix God!"

Maple Leaf said calmly, "Theoretically speaking, you should call me master or lord."

Hyotei hesitated for a moment.

She vaguely knew that Maple Leaf's strength was not what it used to be.

But she ultimately said:

"I have met the Lord."

The maple leaf transformed into a stunning young girl.

It looks only slightly larger than Hyotei.

Maple Leaf said, "The situation of soul beasts should not be like this today. You all have a hard time living. It's a pity that I haven't been reborn for long and my strength has not yet recovered."

"As you can see, I chose Lin Xiao."

"He is my chosen successor, the sovereign of the soul beasts. I hope he can help me regain my strength and help the soul beasts get out of their predicament."

"At the very least, the path for soul beasts to become gods should not be blocked!"

Hyotei believes in Maple Leaf.

After learning the other party's identity, she had no reason not to believe him.

However, Hyotei only disagreed with one thing.

"My lord, why do you think so highly of a human?"

"They even want this human to be the ruler of all soul beasts..."

This made Hyotei very unhappy. She could accept the existence of Maple Leaf, but she could not tolerate a human riding on her head.

Maple Leaf chuckled.

How strong do you think Lin Xiao is now?

Hyotei pondered for a moment.

"To be able to venture deep into the far north and resist my pressure, one must be a titled Douluo-level powerhouse among humans, but that is far from enough."

Ice Emperor felt he could easily suppress a mere Title Douluo with a flick of his finger.

Soul beasts believe in the supremacy of the strong.

Lin Xiao's strength is clearly not yet sufficient to achieve this.

Maple Leaf's lips curled up, a hint of amusement appearing on her exquisite face.

"But what if I told you that Lin Xiao has only cultivated for eleven years? He is only one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo after acquiring his eighth Soul Ring. Moreover, his current combat strength is comparable to that of a level 95 Super Douluo."

Hyotei's face still showed some resentment.

The crowd was instantly filled with shock.

Eleven years?!

Compared to the long lifespan of a soul beast, eleven years is just a nap.

Even in the human world, it is extremely incredible, almost a miracle.

But the shock of Hyotei is far from over.

Maple Leaf said seriously:
"Lin Xiao is the successor I have chosen. Whether it is his talent or his ability, I often feel that he will surpass me. His future achievements are limitless."

"Actually, you don't necessarily have to become Lin Xiao's soul."

"But what seems like a constraint is also an opportunity. Can you guarantee becoming a god by cultivating on your own? But you can definitely ride on Lin Xiao's coattails and soar to great heights."

"It all depends on your own choice."

Hyotei fell into deep thought.

She set aside her prejudices and arrogance, and earnestly pondered the words of the maple leaf.

Maple Leaf, seizing the opportunity, continued:
"Lin Xiao has already obtained the inheritance of the Asura God, which is a God-King level inheritance, but he will not be limited to it, but will walk his own path."

"If you choose him."

"How high your potential is in the future depends not only on you, but also on him."

"He is a truly prodigy, a genius that even I find incredibly talented."

To be honest, Lin Xiao didn't know what Hyotei would think after Maple Leaf said all that, but he himself was definitely feeling incredibly awkward standing there.

Uh oh, Maple Leaf's claims are way too outrageous.

Lin Xiao blushed upon hearing this...

After a long period of deliberation and weighing of options.

Hyotei looked at Lin Xiao and suddenly realized that this human was actually quite pleasing to the eye, at least not to the eye.

She said, "I can feel his bone age."

"Let's see what kind of potential he has?"

Lin Xiao readily extended her hand.

Hyotei touched her soft, boneless hand and discovered that she was only 17 years old, and her physical strength was astonishingly high, even giving people the illusion of a humanoid beast.

Then, Lin Xiao released the four types of phoenix fire on his body.

Ultimate Phoenix Fire, Destruction Phoenix Fire, Great Sun Golden Flame, and Black Sun Purifying Flame correspond to the various attributes that Lin Xiao has mastered, such as flame, destruction, darkness, light, and soul, and each attribute has been pushed to its extreme.

Putting aside everything else, just consider the ultimate Phoenix Fire.

The feeling it evoked in Hyotei was stronger than her ultimate ice.

Hyotei took a deep breath.

She knew it was time to make a decision.

Hyotei's gaze was complex.

"If I choose to become your soul, I am actually giving you my whole being. Wherever you go, I will follow. If you exist, I exist; if you perish, I perish."

"Looking at it from another angle, aren't you also your slave?"

Lin Xiao said, "I won't do that."

But he also knew.

In this kind of situation, no one who says they can't do it can give a real guarantee.

"I agree to become your spirit."

Hyotei made its own choice.

This surprised both Maple Leaf and Lin Xiao.

After all, Hyotei still has 10,000 years to go. It's not an urgent time for her yet. Who knows if there will be new changes in the future?
but.

Hyotei didn't say anything.

Her decision was not entirely for her own benefit.

Instead, the Snow Emperor was taken into consideration.

With only 10,000 years left until her 400,000-year tribulation, Hyotei could already feel the piercing pain in her back, as if a sword of judgment was hanging over her head, yet to be unleashed.

She had a premonition that 400,000 years would be her time to live.

70 years is the limit for the Snow Emperor.

The predicament she faces is actually the same predicament that the Snow Emperor faces. When she undergoes her 400,000-year tribulation, the Snow Emperor will likely step in to help her, but this will inevitably have a serious impact on the Snow Emperor.

But when the Snow Emperor faces his 700,000-year tribulation...

Who will help her?

Therefore, Hyotei chose to become Lin Xiao's spirit.

She wanted to use herself to pave a path for Xue Di's experiments.

If this path is feasible, if Maple Leaf did not deceive her, if Lin Xiao is truly a good person... then Snow Empress undoubtedly has another option.

What if you choose the wrong one?

That would be considered as sacrificing one's life and freedom.

Let's eliminate one wrong answer for Sister Xue.

Hyotei had no expectation of becoming Lin Xiao's spirit.

On the contrary, it has a kind of heroic courage of sacrificing oneself for righteousness...
