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

Chapter 208 The Snow Empress's Constant Fortuitous Encounters
Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong was also keeping an eye on the artifact rankings.

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a Level Three Divine Artifact!"

A hint of coldness flashed in her purple eyes.

"My Rakshasa Demon Scythe is a divine artifact inherited from the Rakshasa God, and its grade is at least a first-level divine artifact."

"If I can make it onto the list and receive the enhancement, my speed in completing the Divine Trial will be greatly accelerated."

Bibi Dong looked up at the sky again, thinking to herself, "The Divine Artifact Ranking, this may be my chance to surpass Qian Daoliu, and even to fight against the Soul Beast Clan."

……

Above the sky, the chaotic purple light of the tenth seat had not yet completely faded.

The ninth seat has already eagerly unleashed its dazzling ice-blue brilliance!
It was a pure, extreme cold, as if it had condensed the essence of millions of years of glaciers.

The mere reflection of the light caused the temperature across the entire Douluo Continent to drop by three degrees.

The icy blue light rapidly gathered and solidified in the sky!
Ultimately, it transformed into a magnificent scepter, crystal clear and seemingly carved from millennia-old ice marrow!
The scepter was about ten feet long, with pale blue ice runes flowing across its surface.

Each rune emanated a chillingly cold aura.

The head of the staff is inlaid with a fist-sized, deep blue gemstone that appears to have snowflakes dancing inside.

The sound from the heavens, carrying a purity and sanctity like ice and snow, resounded throughout the world.

[Ranking 9th on the Divine Artifacts List: Extreme Cold Staff]

[Rank]: Level 3 Divine Artifact
【Characteristics】: Formed from ten thousand years of ice marrow and a wisp of the origin of ice and snow laws, it can release endless ice power and create the "Extreme Cold Domain". Within the domain, the power of all the Snow Empress's ice attribute skills is doubled, the enemy's action and reaction speed is reduced by 50%, and they are continuously subjected to the "Ice Seal Erosion" effect.

[Owner]: Snow Empress (Ruler of the Far North, Ice and Snow Maiden)

[Reason for Ranking]: This artifact was a reward from the Heavenly Curtain, perfectly complementing the Snow Empress's Ice and Snow Maiden bloodline and her control over the laws of ice and snow. Its power is amplified in extremely cold environments, greatly enhancing the Snow Empress's combat effectiveness outside her home turf. Considering its overall power, compatibility, and limitations, it ranks ninth.

[Rewards for making the list]

1. Artifact Enhancement: The strength of the Extreme Cold Staff is permanently increased by 10%, and its affinity with the Law of Ice and Snow is deepened.

2. Exclusive Inheritance: Rewards the accompanying divine skill "Nine Absolute Techniques of the Ice God" (a total of nine forms; each form mastered deepens one's understanding of the laws of ice and snow, and increases the power of the Extreme Cold Divine Staff by 10%).

3. Cultivation bonus: Increase the cultivation period by 10,000 years.

……

As the sound of the curtain fell.

A beam of ice-blue light descended from the sky!

It was fired straight towards the core area of ​​the far north!
The pillar of light contained the pure power of ice and snow, as well as the incomparably profound "Nine Absolute Techniques of the Ice God" inheritance!
……

The far north.

Holding the Extreme Cold Staff, Xue Di sensed the power and information emanating from the pillar of light, and a faint hint of joy flashed in her beautiful ice-blue eyes.

She was naturally aloof and rarely showed her emotions.

But the opportunity to be on two lists in a row did indeed stir up some emotions in her heart.

The Bloodline Inheritance Ranking allows you to obtain divine artifacts and embryos of your own kind.

Currently ranked ninth on the list of divine artifacts, the Extreme Cold Staff has been enhanced and has also gained a matching divine skill…

"The sky..."

"Thank you for the opportunity!"

Xue Di murmured to herself.

"Buzz!"

The Staff of Extreme Cold resonated joyfully within the pillar of light, and the runes on its body shone even brighter.

At the same time, information about the inheritance of "Nine Absolute Techniques of the Ice God" flooded into my mind.

Xue Di closed her eyes, quickly digesting the essence of this divine technique.

After a while...

She opened her eyes, a flash of understanding appearing in her icy blue pupils.

"First move: Freeze all things in ice."

Her figure rose gracefully, transforming into a streak of icy blue light, and arrived at a vast glacial plain in the far north.

There were originally several ten-thousand-year-old ice-attribute soul beasts active here, but upon seeing the Snow Empress descend, they immediately retreated in awe to a distance and prostrated themselves on the ground.

The Snow Empress ignored them and slowly raised the Extreme Cold Staff in her hand.

The gemstone at the end of the staff radiates an unprecedentedly brilliant blue light!
"Boom boom boom!" An invisible field of extreme cold rapidly unfolded around her, and the temperature within the field plummeted to the edge of absolute zero, as if even space itself was about to be frozen!

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of the Ice God, First Form: Freezing All Things!"

Xue Di's clear, cold voice echoed across the glacier.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no strange phenomenon that tore space apart.

Only a pale blue ring-shaped ripple spread silently outwards from Xue Di's center.

The ripples spread at a seemingly slow speed, but in reality, they are incredibly fast!
In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of ​​ten miles!
Where the ripples passed!
The air solidified into ice crystals, snowflakes froze in mid-air, and deeper blue patterns appeared on the surface of the glacier, as if it had been given life.

"boom!"

In an instant, the area within a radius of ten miles was transformed into an absolute frozen world!

Everything stands still, time freezes!
Only the law of extreme cold reigns supreme at this moment!
The Snow Empress stood in the center of the frozen world, her long hair flying in the wind, holding a divine staff.

Surrounded by a faint icy blue divine light, she was like an ice goddess descending to earth.

"Such power in the very first move..."

Xue Di felt the power consumed and the effect achieved by that attack!

A look of satisfaction appeared in his icy blue eyes.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of the Ice God truly live up to their reputation as a complementary divine skill; its combination with the Extreme Cold Divine Staff is simply perfect."

She looked down at the staff in her hand, the icy runes flowing across its surface now shining even brighter.

The Snow Emperor gently stroked the staff, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

"From now on, we will be partners fighting side by side."

The Staff of Extreme Cold emitted a soft hum, as if in response to her.

……

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, after witnessing the Snow Empress's technique—the power to freeze all things—through the celestial canopy, everyone was filled with joy.

This once again caused an uproar and astonishment.

"Ninth! The Snow Empress's Extreme Cold Staff!"

"My God! Ten miles of ice instantly! Even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was powerless to resist!"

"This power... in the far north, the Snow Empress is probably already comparable to a god-level expert, right?"

"The Snow Empress is so lucky! She just received a reward on the Bloodline Ranking and now she's on the Divine Artifact Ranking... With these two opportunities combined, her strength has increased by more than just a little bit!"

"The key is that this divine artifact was originally a reward from the Heavenly Canopy, and now it's being strengthened again through the Heavenly Canopy. This is a virtuous cycle!"

"..."

Countless eyes are focused on the far north!
There was envy, there was apprehension, there was contemplation, and there was also greed.

Starry Sky Forest, by the Lake of Life.

Looking at the power of the Snow Emperor's attack on the sky, Biji's eyes flashed with surprise: "The Snow Emperor... has become stronger again."

Di Tian said in a deep voice, "The Snow Empress's increase in strength is a good thing for our entire Soul Beast race."

The other ferocious beasts nodded in agreement!

Although they are not in the same forest, they are both members of the Soul Beast race.

……

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao watched Xue Di's demonstration on the sky screen and nodded slightly: "The Nine Absolute Techniques of the Ice God is indeed a good set of ice-type divine skills."

"It seems that the rewards from the Sky Curtain are indeed tailor-made."

Li Bai stood beside him, tilted his head back and took a sip of wine, and laughed, "Dean, Xue Di's opportunities are truly coming one after another."

"They get immortal herbs from the Bloodline Ranking and enhancements from the Divine Artifact Ranking... Their speed of strength improvement is almost catching up with ours."

Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling and others also arrived at the top of the tower.

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she chuckled, "Senior Snow Emperor was already a top expert. Now, with this added strength, the status of the far north will be even more secure in the future."

Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment: "Dean, how many of our academy's magical artifacts do you think could qualify?"

All she knows so far is the artifact that Tianmu previously revealed.

The Dean's ultimate artifact: the Origin Heavenly Wheel!
I know nothing else!
However, she was certain that the academy had more than just this year's magical artifact!
Lu Xiao smiled, but instead of answering directly, he looked up at the sky and said, "Don't rush, the unknown is where the surprises lie."
