Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

Chapter 209 The Pampered Ice Emperor's Tribulation is Guaranteed

"resurrection?"

Hyotei's emerald green eyes darted back and forth between A-Yin and Gu Linyuan, their light surging uncertainly.

She knew better than anyone what would happen after a 100,000-year-old soul beast sacrificed itself: the soul ring would be stripped away, the soul bone would take shape, and the original body would turn into specks of light and scatter into the world, leaving not even a remnant soul behind.

This is an ironclad rule that has been passed down from ancient times in the world of soul beasts; no one can break it or change it.

But Ah Yin was standing right in front of her.

Living and breathing.

His gaze was calm, and his breathing was steady.

That aura was even more powerful than hers, at least at the level of the Snow Empress.

Hyotei's mind raced.

The Blue Silver Emperor, a Blue Silver Grass with a cultivation of 100,000 years, is already at its peak. Low-level plant-type soul beasts have almost no chance of breaking through to higher levels.

But Ah Yin in front of her clearly had an aura that far exceeded the range of 100,000 years. Her profound foundation seemed to have been forcibly stuffed into her body, yet it was perfectly integrated with her.

"These are all gifts from the goddess of life," Hyotei silently added in his mind.

“My master’s mother has brought me back to life.”

"It also modified my body. Now, even compared to you top-tier ferocious beasts, I'm not inferior."

She paused, her pale golden eyes sweeping lightly over the faces of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“I’m even stronger. You’re all ordinary ice-attribute soul beasts, while I’m life-attribute.”

She said this in a very calm tone, without any hint of boasting or emphasis.

But that ordinariness itself was like a needle, precisely piercing the most sensitive spot of Hyotei and Yukiteri.

Hyotei's breathing paused for a moment.

She looked at Ah Yin, her gaze moving from her pale golden eyes to her relaxed shoulders, and then to the slightly undulating contours of her falling hair.

"Humph."

Ah Yin straightened her chest slightly, the full curves outlining a smooth line under her moon-white robe, making her look like a blue silver grass that had just absorbed the morning dew, every inch of her skin glowing as if nourished by divine energy.

Her figure was already slender, and now, with her head held high and chest out, her perfectly proportioned body was on full display. Even the curves of her body below her collarbone, partially concealed by the fabric, appeared exceptionally full and voluptuous.

Hyotei's gaze lingered on that spot for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly.

Hmph, it's just a little bigger.

Xue Di's gaze also shifted from A Yin to Gu Lin Yuan's profile.

She didn't react as directly as Hyotei, but at this moment, a deeper wave of emotion was surging within her than Hyotei's.

She suddenly realized a fact she hadn't thought about carefully before: the God King's power was far more terrifying than they could have imagined.

A Yin, an ordinary Blue Silver Emperor, could be directly transformed into an existence even more powerful than the top-tier ferocious beasts of the far north.

She finally understood why she had felt Ah Yin was stronger than herself when she sensed Ah Yin's aura before; it wasn't just a difference in cultivation level. Ah Yin's attribute was the life attribute, and the energy level of that attribute was far higher than that of the ice attribute.

Ice is just an ordinary elemental property. Even if one cultivates ice to its ultimate level, it will ultimately remain within the scope of elements.

The life attribute is one of the most fundamental forces in the universe, belonging to the same level as destruction and creation.

This is the gap.

It has nothing to do with cultivation level or talent; it's purely a crushing defeat at the level of life.

Hyotei's mind works a little faster than Yuki's, but her reactions are also more direct.

Almost as soon as Ah Yin finished speaking, she quickly walked to Gu Linyuan's side and reached out to hug his arm.

She looked up at him, her emerald green eyes glistening with tears, like two pieces of jade washed by moonlight, gleaming with a moist light.

"Brother Lin Yuan."

Her voice softened, carrying a carefully crafted coquettishness.

"If it happens to me in the future... will you save me?"

"The heavenly tribulation is so difficult to overcome, what if I can't make it?"

Hyotei said, looking rather pitiful.

"Humph?"

Gu Linyuan paused slightly when she hugged him like that.

He glanced down at the slender fingers that were tightly wrapped around his arm, then looked up at Hyotei's face, which was so close to his.

That's when he noticed Hyotei's physique.

She was petite with a round, fair face, looking like an innocent young girl, but the soft spot clinging to his arm was surprisingly full.

The phrase "baby face and snow-white skin" somehow popped into his mind.

Hyotei's loli-like face, coupled with her explosively hot figure and the aura of eternal ice surrounding her, these three completely different qualities combined to create a unique and captivating charm.

Gu Linyuan's gaze lingered on her for a moment before shifting away.

"Aren't you perfectly fine now?"

His voice carried a hint of helplessness, but he did not pull his arm away.

Just because things are fine now doesn't mean they'll be fine in the future.

Hyotei shook her head, rubbed her face against his arm, and said in a muffled voice, like a little animal that had finally found a warm stove and refused to leave.

Gu Linyuan looked into her pair of emerald green eyes.

He knew that her enthusiasm and coquettishness at that moment carried a hint of testing.

We'll talk about it later.

“If you really encounter that situation, I won’t just stand by and do nothing.”

Gu Linyuan said helplessly.

Hyotei suddenly raised their heads.

Those emerald green eyes instantly shone like two ignited gems. The tentative glint in their eyes was now completely burned away by burning surprise, and her whole being seemed to have been infused with some kind of vitality by those words.

She was overwhelmed with ecstatic joy.

It's true that being cute works!

Hehe, luckily she had studied humans before.

She even went so far as to read a few storybooks that drifted over from who-knows-where during the long winter. She found the ways in which young girls fawned over powerful men nauseating when she read them, but she never expected to actually use them today.

She released Gu Linyuan's arm and took a half step back, but the smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed; it curved and hung on her lips, carrying a sense of triumphant joy.

She didn't say anything more, but the way her eyebrows curved and the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed revealed all the emotions in her heart.

"Brother Lin Yuan, you're so kind!"

"Waaaah! You're so kind!"

Hyotei wasn't lying. She genuinely felt that way.

Soul beasts face a near-death experience when undergoing tribulation.

Hyotei had no idea that they could survive their 500,000-year tribulation.

But with Gu Linyuan's promise, she can at least save her life in the future!

Chapter 210 Gin and Hyotei are vying for attention and jealousy, Hyotei gets angry.

Xue Di stood a few steps away, taking in the entire scene that had just unfolded.

She didn't approach directly like Hyotei did, but her icy blue eyes held a new layer of something they hadn't seen before.

That layer was like water flowing beneath a thin layer of ice, slowly but irreversibly changing direction.

As she watched as Ice Emperor received Gu Linyuan's promise, a feeling suddenly arose in her heart that even she herself found unfamiliar.

She was a little jealous.

Even though Hyotei was her best friend, she couldn't help but feel jealous.

This is an instinctive emotion in any living being.

She lived longer than Hyotei and saw more of the world.

She had seen too many soul beasts trying to approach the far north, and too many lives swallowed up by the ice plains.

Those so-called strong, regardless of their strength, were ultimately erased by the wind and snow.

She had long been accustomed to standing alone at the highest point of the ice field, overlooking everything, and had long accepted that she would also perish under the heavenly tribulation in the future.

This is the destiny of soul beasts!

But Ah Yin's existence showed her a side path she had never considered before.

At the end of that road lay an outcome she had never imagined.

No longer do we need to bear the shadow of heavenly tribulation alone, no longer do we need to stand alone on the ice plains waiting for the lightning to descend every time thunderclouds gather.

She couldn't bring herself to say it.

She couldn't just pounce on Hyotei and cling to his arm like she would.

Hyotei's thoughts were less hidden than Yuki's, so she naturally sensed the subtle change in the gaze beside her earlier.

She glanced at Xue Di, said nothing, but took half a step forward, getting closer to Gu Linyuan, like a little animal that had finally confirmed the fire wouldn't burn it, with a tentative sense of relief and a hint of cunning.

Ah Yin saw all of this.

She glanced at the Ice Emperor, then at the Snow Emperor, and then naturally took half a step forward, gently linking her arm with Gu Linyuan's, her posture gentle and natural.

Her movements were light, yet perfectly encompassed the space on the other side of Gu Linyuan's body.

"Master, you must be tired. Let's go and rest."

Ah Yin's beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Hyotei.
