Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 195 The Embryo of the Ice and Snow Maiden
The far north.

Hyotei stared at the phantom of the Snow Emperor and the words "seventh" on the sky, and his gloating smile froze instantly!
His emerald green eyes were filled with disbelief.

"seventh?"

Her voice was distorted with shock.

"Snow Empress... your Ice and Snow Maiden bloodline is only ranked seventh? How is that possible!"

She suddenly turned her head to look at Xue Di.

But they found that Xue Di's beautiful face did not show the disappointment or anger they had imagined.

Instead, it carried a strange calmness, and even a faint hint of joy.

Snow Emperor's icy blue eyes gazed at the sky!

His gaze lingered on the reward of the embryo of his own kind, and remained fixed on it for a long time.

Her heart, frozen by hundreds of thousands of years of solitude, was now stirred by a ripple she had never felt before.

"Binger."

Xue Di spoke softly, her voice still cold, but with a hint of warmth.

"Ranking seventh is a fair result."

"just?"

Hyotei almost jumped up.

"Snow Empress, you are an ice and snow spirit nurtured by heaven and earth, bearing the complete laws of ice and snow. You are invincible in the far north!"

"How could that be..."

"It is precisely because he is almost invincible only in the far north that he is seventh."

Xue Di calmly interrupted her.

“Tianmu is right. My bloodline is too dependent on the environment, and it cannot roam the continent like the bloodline of a true god. Moreover, it cannot reproduce and is unique.”

“These are indeed fatal flaws on the bloodline inheritance list.”

She paused, a hint of realization flashing in her icy blue eyes: "In some aspects, my bloodline is indeed inferior to those true god-level bloodlines, and even inferior to some top-tier soul beast bloodlines with evolutionary potential."

Hyotei was stunned; she had never heard Yuki-tei analyze herself so calmly.

But upon closer examination, the reasoning behind the canopy is indeed irrefutable.

"But…."

Hyotei was still unwilling to give up.

"Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which evolved later, is ranked eighth. You are a creation of heaven and earth, only one place higher!"

Just then, two gentle yet powerful energies descended from the sky and entered Xue Di's body.

It transformed into a scepter that was entirely crystal clear, with a blue gemstone inlaid at the top, and exuded an extreme chill.

It floated silently in front of the Snow Emperor.

It was the Staff of Extreme Cold.

The other transformed into a strange ice crystal the size of a fist, with snowflakes seemingly dancing inside and flowing with icy blue light, which fell into the Snow Emperor's palm.

That was the embryo of the Ice and Snow Maiden.

Snow Empress reached out and grasped the Extreme Cold Staff, feeling a connection to her bloodline!

It was as if this divine weapon was an integral part of her body.

She waved her hand gently, and the surrounding temperature plummeted instantly, as if the space itself were about to freeze.

Then, she turned her gaze to the ice crystal embryo in her palm, to the eyes that had been cold for hundreds of thousands of years.

For the first time, he revealed an expression that was almost tender.

"Same race..."

Snow Empress murmured softly.

He carefully pressed the embryo against his chest, gently nurturing it with his own purest icy energy. "From now on, I am no longer alone."

Seeing this scene, Hyotei's initial resentment and anger suddenly dissipated considerably.

She walked to Xue Di's side and gently took her hand: "Xue Di, congratulations."

Snow Empress turned to look at Ice Empress, a hint of warmth appearing in her icy blue eyes: "Thank you, Ice Empress."

"The reward is indeed generous."

Snow Empress felt the changes within herself.

"With these, even if I leave the far north, my combat strength won't decrease too much, and moreover..."

She looked at the embryo in her palm: "With the same kind, the Ice and Snow Maiden bloodline may no longer be unique, but rather the beginning of its inheritance."

……

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the phantom image of the Snow Emperor in the sky, his brows slightly furrowed.

"The Ice and Snow Maiden bloodline is only ranked seventh?"

He murmured to himself, his voice carrying a hint of surprise and contemplation.

"In my original estimation, this innate elemental spirit bloodline, nurtured by heaven and earth, carries the complete and singular authority of a law."

"Its purity and level are comparable to ordinary divine bloodlines, and it should at least be in the top five!"

His eyes gleamed as he quickly analyzed, "The criteria for judging the Sky Curtain seem to be higher than I imagined."

"Although the bloodline of the Ice and Snow Maiden is strong, it is indeed at a disadvantage in these aspects due to its environment and uniqueness."

Lu Xiao's mind quickly flashed through the known powerful bloodlines.

Silver Dragon King Bloodline, Angel God Bloodline, Sea God Bloodline, Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Bloodline, Deep Sea Demon Whale King Bloodline, Evil-Eyed Tyrant Bloodline, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Bloodline…

"Four have been announced so far."

Lu Xiao quickly sorted through the remaining six seats in his mind, "The Angel God bloodline and the Sea God bloodline will definitely occupy two of them."

"Di Tian's Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King bloodline should also qualify, and the Silver Dragon King bloodline is undoubtedly among the top..."

He paused, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"But even so, we can only occupy four seats at most. What will the remaining two seats be?"

Lu Xiao's anticipation for the Sky Ranking reached its peak at this moment.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

Above the sky, the speed at which the light flowed suddenly increased!

The originally soft and holy ice-blue light had not completely dissipated.

A completely different energy, filled with ferocity, evil, and extreme destruction, soared into the sky.

They're all vying for sixth place!
The light surged, twisted, and coalesced violently on the seats!
It eventually transformed into a creature with a lithe physique, covered in jet-black fur, with ferocious bony wings on its back and a tail like a scorpion's hook.

Although the tiger phantom was not as large as the previous ones, the aura it emitted was even more dangerous and eerie!
It was surrounded by dark purple evil energy and blood red malevolent energy, and its pair of scarlet eyes seemed to contain endless tyranny and destructive desires!

The mere sight of its phantom is enough to send shivers down your spine!

Most terrifyingly, behind the phantom, a larger, blurry, and ominous demon god phantom vaguely emerges.

The solemn and majestic sound of the heavens once again resounded throughout the world.

[Douluo Continent Bloodline Inheritance Ranking, Sixth Place: Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline (Evil God's Legacy)]

[Bloodline Origin]: A bloodline of native soul beasts of the Douluo Continent. Due to a wisp of the evil god's original evil energy falling into the Douluo Continent, it fused and mutated with the bloodline of the ancient top-tier tiger-type soul beast, the "Dark Demon Tiger," forming a forbidden evil god bloodline. This bloodline contains fragments of multiple laws such as "evil," "time," and "space," making it the most promising, dangerous, and uncontrollable forbidden bloodline on the Douluo Continent.

[Currently prominent inheritor: Dark Demon Evil God Tiger (Guardian Soul Beast of Beidou Academy, with a cultivation of 180,000 years. After being enlightened and subdued by Lu Xiao, the Dean of Beidou Academy, the evil god's will has been suppressed and purified, and the potential of his bloodline has been fully developed. His actual combat power is comparable to that of a 300,000-year-old ferocious beast).

[Reason for inclusion: This bloodline originates from an evil god, possessing unparalleled growth and evolutionary potential across the continent, but also posing an extremely high risk. However, this bloodline has been subdued and purified by the Beidou Academy using special methods. The evil god's will has been suppressed, and the bloodline's potential has been properly guided, significantly reducing its danger and instability. Considering its overall potential and current state, it ranks sixth.]
