Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 229 The Snow Empress, who values ​​her godson over her pride, sacrifices herself to forge a soul contract.
Seeing the massive Ice Bear King charging towards them with its many minions, Kong Deming and Ye Yulin were ready for battle.

But when they heard this guy shout the earth-shattering cry of "Looking for Mother!", the two top experts had the same thought as Xu Tianxi:

This bear is acting strange!
Kong Deming hurriedly took out the Conferred God Platform and asked the motionless Snow Emperor inside, "Snow Emperor, is this the Ice Bear King you raised?"

Xue Di gave no mental response and did not want to respond.

Ice Bear King Xiaobai clearly doesn't seem very bright. In front of so many people, she admits that she raised this bear. Doesn't she have any dignity left?
She was determined not to admit it; as the Snow Empress, the dignified ruler of the far north, she had a lot of face to save.

Kong Deming didn't want to wait, and said quickly:
“That bear looks stupid. If you don’t come out and explain, we might start fighting later. If there are any casualties, I won’t be responsible.”

Xu Tianxi, who was listening nearby, had a strange expression on his face. It sounded like, "Snow Empress, you don't want the soul beasts in the far north to get hurt, do you? Then just accept this adopted son."

Cough cough, that's overthinking.

To prevent any accidents, he instinctively grabbed his strongest soul tool for self-defense, gripped the level nine demon god sword that Liao Mengkai had casually borrowed with his left hand, and set up the fixed soul cannon with his right hand.

Xu Tianxi glanced at his equipment and found that it was a level nine fixed-mount soul-guided cannon. So he took out another level nine fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell and prepared to load it.

Nuclear weapons don't necessarily have to be actually launched, but it's still quite necessary to take them out and put them on the launch pad as a show.

"Open the Conferred God Platform, I want to leave."

Faced with the choice between the safety of her people in the far north and saving face, the Snow Emperor, as the ruler of this region, decisively chose the former.

During this time, she knew that the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was something that could not be touched, and that one shell could probably blast the Ice Bear King Xiaobai half of his body.

Even if Xiaobai can run, his people can't.

"In the end, we still have to come out." Xu Tianxi muttered to himself as he put away the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.

Kong Deming quietly gave Xu Tianxi a thumbs-up, praising his excellent teamwork.

Upon hearing this, the airflow emanating from the Conferred God Platform of the Snow Empress froze for a moment. She tried to convince herself not to be angry. How could she, the Snow Empress, possibly argue with a mere child?

Damn it, I'm so angry! Once she transforms into human form, I'm going to have a good fight with this guy and show him that the King of Beasts is invincible within the same realm and undefeated across realms.

Well, first we need to use Di Hantian to stop him from using the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, otherwise this fight is impossible.

At the very moment the Snow Empress reappeared in the world, the Ice Empress had already flown out first, trying her best to comfort the Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai. The expression on her face was indescribable, and her lips twitched uncontrollably.
She was trying to persuade Zhu Qingbing, the Toad King, to take a gamble with her, but the shout from Xiaobai, the little bear left behind, stunned her for a moment. She then had to put down what she was doing and comfort this big guy whose mental and intellectual capacity was still that of a child.

Ice Bear King Xiaobai has nearly 300,000 years of cultivation, but in terms of mental age, especially when it comes to issues related to the Snow Emperor, he is still a genuine child, a typical mama's boy.

"Little White, you're a big bear now. You can't always be so flustered. It's not like the Snow Empress has abandoned you. There's no need to act like this..."

Hyotei used a gentle tone that Tenmu-ge had never heard before, trying his best to maintain a smile and comfort Shiro.

"But Second Aunt, Mother has been missing for almost half a year! I've never seen her for so long before. Does she not want me anymore? I'm never going to hibernate again..."

Ice Bear King Xiaobai slid and dove, landing on his knees in the snow. He raised his pitiful, enormous head, his eyes filled with anxious tears.

The Snow Empress was his eldest aunt, and the Ice Empress, who was his sister, was naturally his second aunt.

Three years ago, he decided to find a cave to hibernate on a whim, but when he woke up, he found that his aunts had disappeared and only Atai remained in the far north.

At first, Xiaobai thought they were in seclusion cultivating, so she patted her belly and got up, wanting to go and pay her respects to her two mothers. However, she searched the far north but couldn't find any trace of the Ice and Snow Emperors...

This terrified the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai. With a single command, the entire Ice Bear clan mobilized, searching the far north for miles, but they couldn't find any trace of him, and they also awakened many soul beasts.

Just as he was desperately counting down the days at home, eating frozen fish and telling himself that his mother and stepmother would come back, the aura of Hyotei appeared!

There was no time to hesitate. The Ice Bear Clan followed their king and charged towards Second Mother's direction!
Shiro, who had finally found Hyotei, poured out all his worries and didn't even notice that Hyotei's condition was not quite normal.

Fortunately, Hyotei didn't make things difficult for long. The milky white airflow surging from the Conferred God Platform quickly condensed in the air into a stunningly beautiful figure, pure and flawless.

She stood suspended in mid-air, her sword-like eyes and phoenix eyes gleaming with the cold light of the moon, the corners of her eyes adorned with tiny ice crystals. Her wide-sleeved, plain white dress was lifted by the frost and mist. When she lightly raised her ten fingers, the snowflakes in the sky suddenly stopped, condensing into thousands of ice crystals around her.

It was as if, with just one appearance, it had trampled the entire far north under its feet, its power reaching the heavens.

"I never imagined she possessed such strength." Kong Deming's indifferent expression vanished completely. He stepped back, protecting Xu Tianxi and Meng Hongchen behind him, his eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Xue Di.

As he expected, the Snow Empress was captured when she was at her weakest in her human form and was imprisoned for a period of time, so her strength should have greatly decreased.

However, even now, he could still sense an aura on Xue Di that was no less powerful than that of the three Limit Douluos of Xingluo City.

Even though this is the far north, the Snow Emperor's combat power has greatly increased, and her strength is beyond doubt.

Seeing how concerned Kong Deming was about Xue Di, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder humans have Limit Douluo. This far north is still a forbidden zone for humans. The strength of the top three ferocious beasts on the continent is definitely far superior to that of Limit Douluo like Xuan Laodeng."

Unlike the previous two, Xue Di did not condense a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, but she was the only one of the three rulers with the advantage of a suitable terrain. The far north was the best battlefield, allowing her three signature skills to be used to their fullest potential.

No wonder... they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

Even a ruler of 700,000 years would find it hard to accept being reborn as a human boy of about ten years old, even if he were to fall from grace.

Xue Di glanced into the distance and saw the wary look in the young man's eyes, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Now that you've seen my level of cultivation, let's see if you still have the mind to make fun of me all the time.

She was just careless when she transformed into human form.

However, the Snow Empress's aloof image didn't last long—when the Ice Bear King Xiaobai noticed that his aunt had appeared, he immediately abandoned his second aunt, his knees gliding across the snow for a while longer, and his mountain-like body thunderously rushed to the Snow Empress's side.

Then, he raised his head, squinted, and gave the Snow Emperor a silly grin full of filial piety, and said loudly:

"mother!!!"

Xu Tianxi's composed expression vanished instantly, and he barely managed to suppress a laugh; Meng Hongchen leaned her head against Xu Tianxi's back and let out a soft chuckle.

Xue Di's eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, then she sighed softly, floated to Xiao Bai's side, reached out and patted her silly bear son's head, pouting slightly.

"Xiaobai, you've gained weight again."

Ice Bear King Xiaobai chuckled and patted his big head, "Mother, since you weren't here, I missed you and Second Mother so much that I wanted to eat fish. I ate too much and that's why I'm like this."

As if afraid of upsetting Xue Di, he quickly added, "It's only been a few months of binge eating, I can still lose weight."

Snow Empress smiled helplessly, raised her hand and gently stroked the huge nose. Little White immediately looked very pleased, occasionally letting out soft hums, its huge bear buttocks wiggling a few times, its face beaming with happiness.

"If only Xue'er were touching me..." Bingdi's murmured voice drifted over, and Xu Tianxi's lips twitched violently.

In the sea of ​​the spirit, there are still masters striving to contribute.

With deep emotion, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said to the spiritual form of Xu Tianxi, "If Bingbing could treat me like the Snow Empress treats this big, clumsy bear, I would die without regrets."

Xu Tianxi: “…”

One is a mama's boy bear, one is a lesbian scorpion, and one is a sycophant silkworm. So, none of the ferocious beasts in your far north are normal?

What merit has this far north possessed to nurture so many talented players like you? What a terrible sin you have committed!

After a moment, Snow Emperor calmed Little White down. Little White seemed to have received some kind of order, and with a "Hey-ha," it called to its descendants and clansmen to get up.

On the other side, the Zhu Qing Ice Toads, who had all knelt down because of the Snow Emperor's arrival, also jumped up and down with "croaking" sounds, their red eyes gazing at the Snow Emperor's dignified face with fervor and obsession.

Even if I get killed by those despicable humans and have my soul ring taken away tomorrow, it would be worth it to be able to see the Snow Empress so closely!
"Alright, I'm here to see Xiaobai. Xiaozhu, you and Bing'er can continue as usual."

Snow Empress waved to Zhu Qingbing Toad King, indicating that he should not take offense.

Zhu Qingbing, the Toad King, raised her eyes and asked cautiously, "Lord Snow Emperor, do you also agree with Lord Ice Emperor's opinion?"

The Snow Empress nodded slightly: "You are powerless to survive the second Heavenly Tribulation. This is an opportunity for you. Even if you cannot ascend to immortality, you can use a human body to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation forever. You can study hard..."

"Since it is the Snow Empress's order, I, Xiao Zhu, will go now!"

Zhu Qingbing, the toad king, wisely didn't let the leader finish speaking. With a leap, she covered hundreds of meters, landing thirty meters away from Kong Deming. She then gave Meng Hongchen, who was hiding behind Xu Tianxi and only had her head showing, a kind smile.

"Little girl, what are you still looking at? Didn't you want to form that... what the hell kind of soul bond with me? Come here now."

Meng Hongchen glanced at the other person's enormous size, then looked at her own tiny hands and feet, swallowed hard, and said cautiously:

"Tianxi, her aura is too terrifying. How about we take it slow and start by forming a bond with one that's less than 100,000 years old?"

The poison on the other side could kill a thousand of me. Can my body withstand such residents moving in?

Xu Tianxi gripped Meng Hongchen's slender hand tightly, looking intently at her, and said:

"Senior, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether you can completely overpower that guy Lao Xiao depends on this."

"And don't worry, the most powerful thing about the Soul Contract is that you don't have to worry about whether your body can withstand it. Look at Ye Guyi and Yu Mengdi, didn't they both form Soul Contracts that far exceed the normal limits?"

"But I'm still a little worried. Can you encourage me a little more..." Meng Hongchen gripped the hem of Xu Tianxi's shirt tightly, curled up slightly, and whispered in Xu Tianxi's ear.

"I see. Okay, I have a solution."

Xu Tianxi's eyes darted around, he pushed Meng Hongchen aside, turned and flew towards Zhu Qingbing Toad King, cupping his hands and smiling slightly:
"The Beast King's cultivation is extraordinary, and my friend is worried that he may not be able to withstand it. I wonder if you could make an exception and conduct the soul contract process through a sacrifice? I guarantee there will be no problems."

As is widely known, when a 100,000-year-old soul beast is sacrificed, the soul master who receives the sacrifice can obtain a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone without any obstacles. Tang Shenwang can make an authoritative statement on this matter.

Meng Hongchen stared at her wrist, which felt strangely empty, and reached out to grab a pile of snow.

Was that what she meant?

After thinking for a moment, and seeing that the Ice and Snow Emperors had no objections, Zhu Qingbing nodded slightly: "Okay."

In the next instant, before Meng Hongchen could react, a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky from the far north plain.

Upon seeing this, Meng Hongchen immediately activated her martial spirit and sat down cross-legged, preparing to accept this grand gift that she could not refuse.

Forget it, once she becomes stronger, it will be easy for her to do something to Xiao Xu. Diligent cultivation is indeed the right path.

Xu Tianxi hurriedly activated the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish formation, chanting incantations.

A moment later, a huge, blood-red soul ring rose above Meng Hongchen's five rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—adorned with a golden seal, symbolizing that this soul beast had survived a tribulation in his previous life.

A vast and powerful aura was instantly released from Meng Hongchen's body, and the speed at which it rose was astonishing.
