Douluo Continent: My strongest soul beast was exposed by the Heavenly Curtain?

Chapter 60 Hyotei: I died, and I came back to life! The hope of humanity! (Please continue reading)

In the sky, Li Yannian's figure streaked across the heavens like a streak of light.

In that instant, it was as if a white streak of light had been drawn across the heavens and earth. The speed was so fast that even space itself did not have time to tremble before it disappeared from the spot.

When everyone could see his figure clearly again, the perpetually frozen world of the far north was fully reflected in the sky.

At this moment, Li Yannian was quietly suspended in the air directly above the Snow Emperor Castle.

The silvery-white ice crystal palace, illuminated by the aurora, resembled a divine kingdom. Li Yannian stood atop it, his figure not tall, yet he seemed to become the true center of this world.

At that very moment, two extremely powerful auras erupted simultaneously within the castle.

A streak of snow-white light shot through the air, and a chill swept in all directions.

The Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor ascended into the sky at almost the same time.

When their gazes fell upon Li Yannian, all their indifference, majesty, and imperial aura vanished in an instant.

Instead, there was undisguised joy.

"Father, it's been a long time."

Xue Di spoke first, her voice still cold, but much gentler than usual.

She stood in mid-air, her figure slender, her silver hair dancing lightly in the wind, but her eyes held an undisguised emotional fluctuation.

In contrast, Hyotei completely disregarded all of this.

"Father--!"

Almost before she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of emerald light and crashed into Li Yannian's arms.

"puff!"

Li Yannian instinctively reached out and hugged Hyotei. The next moment, he felt that familiar scent in his arms, and what followed—

Little fists.

"So you finally decided to come back!"

"They haven't returned to the far north for so long!"

"Bad guy! Big bad guy!"

Hyotei pounded on the ground while complaining, their voices full of grievance.

Her appearance was completely devoid of the majesty of one of the three great heavenly kings of the far north; she was clearly just a little girl who hadn't seen her father in a long time.

Li Yannian was at a loss for words, and could only gently pat her back and soothe her in a low voice.

"It's Father's fault, it's Father's fault."

"Things have gotten a bit hectic lately."

Xue Di watched this scene quietly, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, but she did not step forward.

She knew very well that she was no longer the same age as Hyotei.

Some intimacy can only be kept in the heart.

But the next moment, Li Yannian took the initiative to extend his hand to her.

"Xue'er".

"It's been so long, come here, let Daddy give you a hug."

The word "Xue'er" startled the Snow Emperor slightly.

She nodded slightly and stepped forward.

When Li Yannian pulled her into his arms, Xue Di's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed.

At that moment, the ice and snow in her eyes seemed to melt away quietly.

This scene was fully presented to all living beings on the Douluo Continent through the celestial screen.

Whether human or spirit beast.

Whether strong or weak.

Everyone fell silent.

Legendary soul beasts, two emperors from the far north, actually revealed such a side of themselves in front of Li Yannian.

This is no longer just a shock on a power level.

This is a crushing defeat on the level of status.

After a brief moment of warmth, Li Yannian quickly composed himself and his gaze became serious.

"I have just acquired a new ability."

"For you, there are only benefits, no drawbacks."

"Want to give it a try?"

The moment the words left her lips, while Xue Di was still pondering, Bing Di had already raised her hand without hesitation.

"Me! Me! Me!"

"Father, I'll do it!"

Her eyes were incredibly bright, filled with excitement and anticipation.

"I've always wanted to know just how powerful Father's divine might really is!"

Upon hearing this, an uproar instantly erupted beneath the sky.

Countless soul masters and soul beasts held their breath almost simultaneously.

They were well aware that this would be a true experiment.

Xiong Jun was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands together.

"Whether it works or not depends on this!"

"If this ability is really as I imagine—"

[I, Old Bear, am turning the tables today!]

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Li Yannian slowly raised his hand.

The next instant, a pure white soul force flowed from his palm.

There was no sign of violence.

There was no oppression.

That power seemed to belong to all things in heaven and earth.

The white light gently entered Hyotei's body.

In an instant, Hyotei's body trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, a completely different aura awakened within her.

That's not soul power.

It's not mental strength either.

Rather, it is a force at the level of rules.

Not dead.

It is indestructible.

At this moment, these two concepts truly merged into the very essence of Hyotei's life.

Her aura began to change.

The level of life is being artificially elevated.

Soon, a dazzling soul power pattern slowly appeared on her forehead, shining like a brand.

A moment later, the pattern disappeared into the skin.

Li Yannian withdrew his hand and smiled slightly.

"It's done."

"How does it feel?"

Hyotei looked down at himself, then raised his hand and clenched his fist.

"It feels so strange."

"It seems like nothing has changed, yet it also seems like—everything is different."

She looked up, her eyes full of eagerness.

"Father, may I give it a try?"

Li Yannian nodded, then turned to look at Xue Di.

"Xue'er".

"Hit her."

Just three simple words.

But it made the hearts of countless people under the sky leap.

Xue Di did not hesitate at all.

The next moment, an extreme chill suddenly erupted.

That's the power of ice and snow that can even freeze space itself.

Hyotei didn't even have time to react before he was blasted away.

The cold ice erodes the very essence of life.

Power was being frantically drained away.

Almost instantly, Hyotei's body transformed into a crystal-clear ice sculpture.

Then, click!

The ice sculpture shattered.

Torn apart.

Not even a trace of its complete form remains.

This scene caused countless Soul Masters to gasp in shock.

This is Hyotei!

One of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North!

He just died like that?

However, before they could recover from the shock...

A white light suddenly shone from within the shattered ice crystals.

Life is rekindled.

Flesh, bones, and soul power—rapidly reorganized under the guidance of the rules.

In the blink of an eye, Hyotei's figure reappeared in mid-air.

Unharmed.

Its aura was even stronger than before.

She looked down at herself, touched her body, and then let out an extremely excited scream.

"Wow!!"

"I'm dead!"

"I'm alive again!!"

"This is so much fun!!"

She was so excited that she twirled in the air.

"It doesn't hurt!"

"It doesn't hurt at all!"

"And my power—has really become stronger!"

"Especially regarding temperature control, I feel colder than before!"

At this moment, the sky above erupted in complete uproar.

This is no longer a question of whether something is powerful or not.

This is a force that defies common sense, transcends life and death, and overturns cognition.

The Snow Empress looked at the Ice Empress, and for the first time, her eyes showed a clear change in expression.

She slowly turned her head and looked at Li Yannian.

Those eyes conveyed nothing more.

Li Yannian naturally understood what she meant and nodded gently.

White soul power descended once more.

The moment when Yuki-tei also became a member of the family.

The Douluo Continent fell into complete silence.

Immortal and indestructible.

These four words, like a mountain, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

The reactions of human soul masters began to show a clear divergence.

Some people are afraid.

"Can we humans really withstand such spirit beasts?"

Some people wavered.

"If we can coexist—perhaps that's a way out."

For some, it was the first time they had seen hope.

Especially the top-tier Soul Masters in Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City.

They understand the cruelty of life better than anyone else.

Even titled Douluo will eventually grow old and die.

But now there is someone who can grant immortality.

However, the area in the direction of Shrek Academy was completely silent.

Tang San's face was paler than ever before.

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly, his voice low and distorted.

"A soul beast is, in the end, just a soul beast."

"How can we possibly coexist with humans?"

"We humans are the true masters of the Douluo Continent."

"Soul beasts are nothing more than raw materials for soul rings and soul bones."

At that moment, Xiao Wu stood aside, her heart completely cold.

Even so, the master and disciple remained intently focused on the sky.

They are waiting.

Waiting for a possibility.

Ranking of humans.

Humanity's hope!

Just as everyone's thoughts were churning.

Above the sky, a grand voice once again resounded throughout heaven and earth.

The sound of the celestial canopy reappears!
