Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 41: Finally, Electrolux is obtained, as expected, an unexpected turn of events.

Shu Yan looked down at the bloody and cruel scene before him, feeling no particular emotion or fluctuation in his heart, but calmly and steadily proceeding to the next step.

Under Shu Yan's control, the Fallen Netherworld emitted a crisp cracking sound. Then, its silvery-white shell began to slowly disintegrate, and layers of scale-like ripples began to spin rapidly. The next moment, an extremely strong suction force erupted from below the Fallen Netherworld. In an instant, the blood that had already seeped into the earth began to flow upwards, turning into streaks of blood that rose out of thin air and finally poured into the Fallen Netherworld.

Flesh and blood were decomposed, and in a daze, one could even hear the horrific screams of souls being torn apart. The speed of the Fallen Shadow spun faster and faster, and the screams echoing around became clearer and clearer. In the blur, one could even see several distorted and illusory faces filled with extreme resentment and murderous intent. But in the end, whether it was souls, flesh and blood, or even the extremely vast negative emotions and the flowing blood of sin, everything was absorbed into the Fallen Shadow...

The bloodline connected heaven and earth, and the surrounding earth and wood began to slowly decompose and rise. The pressure between heaven and earth in the vicinity increased sharply. Shu Yan's palms also closed. The next moment, Yinming Zhidu trembled slightly, followed by a surge of spiritual energy carrying enormous negative energy.

To be on the safe side, Shu Yan didn't replenish the spiritual energy needed for Yin Ming Zhi Dui himself, but instead asked Bing Di to do it for him. As for why it wasn't Xue Di, Shu Yan himself probably couldn't explain the reason...

At the same time, although Hyotei's mental strength and quality are not as good as Yuki-tei's, they are still powerful enough that creating a mental fluctuation with a huge impact is still very easy.

Just as Shu Yan was pondering, the dark purple beam of light had already painted the clouds in the sky with an ominous color, condensing all sorts of negative energies such as resentment, depravity, evil, slaughter, and fear. At the same time, it was accompanied by a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation, which spread throughout the surrounding hundred miles in just a moment.

Fear flashed in the eyes of countless soul beasts, who then scattered and fled. In an instant, chaos reigned within a hundred miles. Meanwhile, this intense negative energy reaction attracted the attention of some beings deep within the Star Dou Great Forest. The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment and worry. After a long while, they looked up at Shu Yan's calm expression and couldn't help but swallow hard. This… was truly too exciting…

Amidst such terrifying influence, Shu Yan stared intently at the sky, as if anticipating something.

After a short while, the energy stored in the Fallen Underworld gradually began to dry up, and the energy pillar slowly dimmed. Shu Yan remained calm and patiently waited, but his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, a sense of tension pervading his heart and difficult to dispel.

In this tense atmosphere, no one spoke. The moment the pillar of light completely dimmed, Shu Yan suddenly sensed something and turned around sharply. The next moment, a loud explosion suddenly resounded between heaven and earth. All the light seemed to be completely swallowed up in an instant. The light disappeared, and the world was shrouded in darkness. An indescribable pressure descended from the sky. The next moment, a gray stream of air rushed in from afar, and that pressure originated from there.

A relieved smile appeared on Shu Yan's face. He then quickly deactivated the protection on his spiritual sea. A faint bluish-green light flickered, and the gray air current seemed to pause slightly for a moment before accelerating and swooping down on Shu Yan again.

Before the two Ice and Snow Emperors could react, the gray aura had already flowed unimpeded from Shu Yan's forehead into his spiritual sea. The next moment, a very blurry figure slowly appeared behind Shu Yan, and an aged voice, carrying unparalleled pressure and power, suddenly rang out in the silent space:

"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. I never thought that a trace of my soul would still remain in this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding darkness receded rapidly like a tide, and light reappeared. Shu Yan's smile was no longer suppressed. He looked up at the bright sunlight that had returned to the world, and then said softly:

"Mr. Yi, welcome..."

In Shu Yan's spiritual sea, a gray bead the size of a soybean, residing in the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife... no, it should be residing in the Blade of Living Beings, trembled slightly, as if responding to Shu Yan, but quickly fell silent again, without any further fluctuation.

Shu Yan showed no dissatisfaction. He withdrew the Yinming Fallen, which was still suspended in mid-air, and sighed helplessly, sensing its nearly depleted energy reserves. Then, he turned to look at the two Ice and Snow Emperors and Xu Jiujiu, who were still stunned, and said softly:

"Everything went smoothly. Now we can leave."

Xue Di was the first to regain her senses. She lowered her beautiful eyes and stared intently at Shu Yan. After a long while, she said softly:

"You've really given me another surprise..."

Hyotei quickly came to her senses and looked at Shu Yan with a complicated expression. She opened her mouth, but said nothing.

The shock was greatest, and her emotions were the most complex and excited. During this period, Shu Yan had done many things that she couldn't understand, which once surprised her greatly. But now, looking back, every step Shu Yan took was paving the way for the next arrangement. Not a single step was wasted; almost all of them played a huge role. Although the age difference between the two was not large, and she was even slightly older than Shu Yan by two years, the difference in their temperament had begun to become obvious...

After the initial shock, a long-lasting feeling lingered between joy and apprehension. The joy stemmed from Shu Yan's composure and excellence, while the apprehension stemmed from the talent and maturity Shu Yan displayed that far surpassed that of his peers.

This feeling was hard to explain, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it for the time being, but more than anything, she was happy for Shu Yan.

Shu Yan's smile remained unchanged as he looked at the three of them, then said softly:

"I've been dealing with a lot of things lately, but I'll explain everything in detail when we get back. Now, we should head back to Xingluo City."

Snow Empress stared at Shu Yan for a while, her eyes flickering with emotion, but then her gaze suddenly turned to the depths of the forest behind Shu Yan. Ice Empress's gaze followed, and Shu Yan was pulled behind Snow Empress. At the same time, Snow Empress's cold voice rang in his ears again:

"Di Tian, ​​now that you're here, show yourself. Hiding like this isn't like you."

Ice Emperor shielded Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu behind him, his gaze also fixed on the dark forest not far away. Shu Yan was not particularly surprised. He took Xu Jiujiu's hand and gently comforted her for a few moments, then narrowed his eyes and followed the gaze of the two, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor.

In the quiet forest, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the tree canopy, everything was so beautiful that it seemed as if nothing had ever happened. But in the next moment, without warning, the sound of steady footsteps echoed in the ears of the four. Each footstep seemed to pound directly into their hearts. Even without a trace of soul power fluctuation, it was enough to make them feel an overwhelming sense of suffocation and oppression...

P.S.: I've also got Lao Yi.

P.S.: This week was also a disaster. It coincided with the National Day holiday, and my reading volume dropped significantly. I didn't make it to the second round of reading, I'm devastated. I'll have to go naked for a week now (＿).
