Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!

Chapter 70 Hyotei: I'm super gentle!

Her curled-up body suddenly opened up!

"Buzz—!!"

An invisible energy wave spread out from her center, causing the ice to freeze thicker and the snowflakes in the air to shatter into finer ice crystals.

Four hundred thousand years, breakthrough achieved!

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion raised its head and let out a clear, long cry, its voice filled with joy and exhilaration. Then, the azure light subsided, and it transformed back into human form.

She still looked like a little girl in that emerald green dress.

"Xue'er! I did it! I really did it!"

Hyotei's face flushed with excitement as she rushed towards Yuki-tei like a whirlwind, hugging her tightly. Her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, "No heavenly tribulation! Not at all! We don't have to go through that damned heavenly tribulation anymore! That's wonderful! That's truly wonderful!"

The Snow Empress was knocked back a step by the bump, and feeling the much stronger aura emanating from the Ice Empress than before, a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

She gently patted Hyotei's back and said softly, "I know. I felt it all. Congratulations, Hyotei."

Hyotei snuggled against Yuki-tei, taking a while to calm her excitement. She released her grip, stepped aside, her bright blue eyes sparkling: "Your turn, Yuki-tei! I'll protect you!"

Xue Di nodded with a smile, walked to the spot where Yong Di had been sitting, and also sat down cross-legged.

She extracted even more Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and for her nearly seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, the energy required for her breakthrough was far beyond what the Ice Emperor could match.

Xue Di closed her eyes and formed a mysterious hand seal with her hands.

The Myriad-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow floated around her, and pure ice-attribute energy, like a blue stream, continuously flowed into her body.

Her absorption rate was faster and more stable than Hyotei's.

His entire being seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole, greedily yet methodically devouring the energy of the Xuanbing Marrow.

Her body temperature began to drop rapidly.

Time passed second by second.

After an incense stick had burned, the several strands of ancient, mysterious ice marrow completely dimmed.

The Snow Emperor's aura also reached its peak.

Her body began to become translucent, as if sculpted from the purest ice crystals, with countless tiny snowflakes swirling and dancing inside.

An indescribable, terrifying chill, as if it could freeze time and space, emanated from her.

Ice Empress stood not far away, and even with her cultivation level of just over 400,000 years, she felt a little apprehensive in the face of this chill.

She quickly stepped back a distance, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xue Di without blinking.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no violent energy bursts.

All the changes happened silently.

Xue Di slowly opened her eyes, a flash of icy blue light passing through her beautiful eyes.

Seven hundred thousand years, breakthrough!

His aura gradually subsided.

The Snow Empress returned to normal, but her overall demeanor seemed even more ethereal and lofty, like a snow goddess above the clouds.

She stood up, looked at the nervous Hyotei, and smiled slightly: "I succeeded too."

Hyotei let out a long sigh of relief, then jumped for joy: "Great! We both broke through! And neither of us had to undergo tribulation! Jiang Bai—that kid's tower is truly amazing!"

The two women looked at each other and smiled, their eyes showing a sense of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted and an infinite expectation for the future.

outside world.

Jiang Bai sat cross-legged, with the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda floating in front of him, its body shimmering with a nine-colored radiance brighter than usual.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked up at the sky.

The once clear sky was suddenly filled with thick, dark clouds.

The clouds hung low, with faint flashes of lightning within them, and a oppressive, earth-shattering pressure descended.

Jiang Bai's lips twitched. "This isn't... going to chop me up, is it?"

The target of these dark clouds seems to be him—or rather, the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda in his hand.

The breakthroughs of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress seem to have finally attracted the attention of the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, because the breakthrough process occurred in the small world inside the tower, the Heavenly Dao could not directly send down the tribulation lightning, and could only lock its anger on Jiang Bai, who was the vessel.

""

-

Ginger makes my scalp tingle.

This is no joke. Judging from the scale of these clouds, it's at least a heavenly tribulation of ten thousand years! How can a Soul Master like him withstand it?

Above the clouds of tribulation, in the void, a blurry figure surrounded by pale golden world power quietly emerged.

The figure seemed to be drawn from countless regular lines, its face obscured, only a pair of eyes piercing through layers of dark clouds, looking down at Jiang Bai, who was waiting in full battle, and the pagoda in his hand that emitted nine-colored light.

There was silence for a moment.

The figure seemed to take a deep breath, almost as if it were human.

Then, He shook His head.

Never mind—that's not my responsibility—

I can't see it, I can't see it —

Having found a suitable excuse, the figure surrounded by the power of the world seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and waved his hand.

The gathering storm clouds seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, vanishing without a trace in an instant. Warm sunlight once again shone down on the mountains.

The figure faded away and disappeared into the void, as if it had never existed.

Jiang Bai, lying on the ground, stared blankly at the suddenly cleared sky for a long while before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

My back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Phew—that scared me to death." He wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, still shaken.

"It seems that the breakthrough inside the tower wasn't entirely without progress—next time we'll have to find a more secluded place."

At this moment, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda flashed with light, and two figures shot out and landed in front of him.

It was the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor.

Jiang Bai quickly asked, "Snow Empress, how is it? Did the breakthrough go smoothly?"

The Snow Empress smiled gently, her aura becoming even more ethereal and otherworldly: "Thanks to you, Bing'er and I have both successfully broken through. Moreover, we did not experience the Heavenly Tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai was completely relieved and smiled, "That's good! Congratulations to you both!"

"Hello!"

Hyotei, standing to the side, became displeased again. Hands on her hips, she glared at Jiang Bai with her beautiful eyes. "Why do you always ask Xue'er first? Why don't you ask me? I've broken through too, you know!"

Jiang Bai was taken aback by this sudden "questioning," and subconsciously glanced at the sulking Hyotei before tentatively saying, "Uh—maybe—you look a bit fierce?"

"I'm fierce?!"

Hyotei's eyes widened in disbelief. She pointed her little finger at the tip of her nose, then suddenly turned to look at Yuki, her face saying, "You be the judge for me."

"Xue'er, do I look fierce?"

Looking at Hyotei's "I'm so wronged but I'm super fierce" expression, Xue Di seemed to recall some interesting past events and couldn't help but chuckle: "Maybe."

"Where did I go wrong?"

Hyotei was even more indignant. She stomped her foot and muttered, "I'm clearly very gentle! Super gentle! Jiang Bai, you have no taste!"

Looking at Hyotei's flustered appearance, Jiang Bai suddenly felt that it was kind of cute?

He reached out his wicked hand and gently placed it on Hyotei's smooth, emerald-green hair, ruffling it as he spoke in a coaxing tone, like he was speaking to a child: "Mmm, Hyotei is the gentlest! The gentlest of all!"

The feel is pretty good.

Hyotei clearly didn't expect Jiang Bai to pull this stunt.

She first squinted her eyes and seemed to enjoy rubbing her hand against Jiang Bai's palm, looking just like a cat being stroked.

"That is—"

But two and a half seconds later, she suddenly realized!

"ah!

'

Hyotei jumped back instantly like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, slapping away Jiang Bai's hand. Her beautiful eyes widened and her face turned bright red.

"Who! Who gave you permission to touch my head! How dare you! I'm hundreds of thousands of years older than you! Hundreds of thousands of years older!"

She bared her teeth and brandished her claws, trying to create a fierce aura, but with her flushed face and slightly messy hair, she didn't really have any intimidating power.

Jiang Bai suppressed a laugh and waved his hands repeatedly, "Yes, yes, senior Hyotei, please calm down. This junior knows he was wrong."

"Watch your step next time! Or I'll pinch you to death with my claws!!"

"Okay, okay, I understand!"
