Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

It was used when Xiao Wu first entered the far north, to resist the extreme cold.

Now, it has reappeared, not to keep warm, but to save its life.

A platinum-gold light shield enveloped Xiao Wu, its surface shimmering with fine golden patterns, each one like a heartbeat.

boom!

The icy blue beam of light collided with the platinum shield.

There was no explosion, no loud noise.

There was only one tooth-grinding, sharp, scraping sound, like an icicle scraping against a metal plate.

The icy blue light and the platinum light intertwined, annihilated, and clashed wildly in mid-air.

The ice beneath Xiao Wu's feet could not withstand the aftershocks of the collision between the two forces, shattering into countless tiny ice shards that flew in all directions.

Her feet carved two deep furrows in the ice, and she was pushed backward several feet by that terrifying force.

But the platinum-colored shield held up.

It trembled violently, and fine cracks appeared on its surface, each flash deepening the cracks.

But it didn't break.

It's still there.

Deep within the Ice Palace, the Ice Queen sensed that her attack had been blocked.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her azure eyes.

Although this attack was a casual strike, with her current strength, even a casual strike was something that an ordinary Title Douluo could not withstand.

A large portion of the power within her body has been transformed into divine power, and every strike carries the blessing of divine power.

Moreover, the far north is her home ground, where the ice and snow elements are extremely concentrated, and every attack she makes is amplified by the power of this icy plain.

The power of this attack was enough to severely injure a Title Douluo below level 95.

That transformed soul beast actually blocked it?

The Ice Queen's lips curved into a very faint smile.

interesting.

She raised her hand, spread her fingers, and turned her palm toward Xiao Wu's direction again.

This time, the power she gathered was even stronger than before.

The icy blue light surged wildly in her palm, like a miniature icy blue sun, radiating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

She didn't hold back.

She wanted to see how much longer that silkworm could withstand.

At the edge of the ice field, Xiao Wu was panting heavily.

The platinum shield was covered with cracks, each crack shimmering slightly, as if groaning silently.

"Tianmeng, how much longer can you hold on?" Xiaowu asked in her heart.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not answer.

Its silkworm shadow no longer twists, no longer somersaults, no longer chatters.

It floated quietly in the sea of ​​consciousness, its golden silkworm body trembling slightly, each segment emitting a faint cracking sound, like porcelain breaking.

That protective barrier was formed from its remains.

Not only was its protective shield damaged, but its mental energy was also being damaged.

"Tianmeng!" Xiaowu called out again, her voice rising a few decibels.

"Quiet down." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally spoke, her voice hoarse as if sandpaper had been rubbing against a stone. "Let me catch my breath."

Its small eyes were fixed on the ice surface in front of it, which had been shattered by the icy blue beam of light, and the silkworm shadow trembled again.

"I should have known better than to come and see whether the Snow Queen became a god or not." Its voice carried a deep regret, like a miser whose last gold coin had been taken from his pocket.

"Now look what's happened, you've seen it, but you're going to lose your life."

Xiao Wu didn't respond.

Her hands slowly clenched inside her sleeves, her nails digging into her palms, causing a slight stinging sensation.

She cursed Tianmeng Bingcan in her heart.

They scolded it for making trouble out of nothing, insisting on coming to see if the Snow Queen had become a god.

They scolded it for being greedy for life and cowardly, for insisting on dragging her to the far north.

They criticize it for being unreliable, always saying "I, the Emperor, guarantee it," but every time it makes that guarantee, something goes wrong.

But the person she criticized the most was herself.

Why did I listen to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm? Why did I have to come to the far north? Why didn't I just take a look at the edge of the ice field and leave?

She hasn't avenged her mother yet.

She hasn't found an opportunity to get close to Bibi Dong yet.

She hasn't seen the Spirit Hall destroyed yet.

She cannot die yet.

Xiao Wu's eyes reddened, but she didn't cry.

She looked up at the ice surface in front of her, shattered by the icy blue beam of light.

Then, she saw a second beam of light.

It rose from the depths of the far north, thicker, brighter, and more terrifying than the first one.

It carried the chill of the entire icy plain as it hurtled toward her.

The shadow of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm twitched suddenly.

"It's over," it murmured, its voice carrying a resigned calm.

"Xiao Wu, I have done my best."

The platinum shield was already riddled with holes and could not withstand a second impact.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm knew, and it knew too.

But Xiao Wu did not close her eyes.

She stood there, watching the icy blue beam of light draw ever closer, watching it tear through the sky, watching it crush the wind and snow, watching it crash down upon her.

She clenched her fists.

Then, the nine-colored deer mark on her neck lit up.

It was an extremely soft golden halo that spread outwards from Xiao Wu's neck, unhurried and gentle, like the first ray of spring sunshine falling on the frozen earth.

The light was very faint, so faint that it was almost insignificant in the face of the ice-blue pillar of light.

However, it spreads extremely quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the pale golden halo spread from Xiao Wu's neck to her entire body, enveloping her in a warm golden glow.

The icy blue beam of light collided with the golden halo.

There was no explosion.

There was no loud noise.

The icy blue beam of light, powerful enough to severely injure a Title Douluo, shattered, annihilated, and dissipated silently the moment it touched the golden halo, as if it had struck an invisible wall.

Ice shards scattered, turning into a sky full of ice mist, refracting a rainbow of light in the golden halo.

Xiao Wu stood still, motionless.

She lowered her head and looked at the nine-colored deer mark on her neck, which was emitting a soft golden light.

The mark is very hot.

It wasn't a burning sensation, but a warm, comforting warmth, like being embraced.

It was as if someone, from a very, very far place, reached out and gently protected her.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the silkworm's shadow, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, froze.

Its small eyes were wide open, and its mouth was agape, but it couldn't make a sound.

That icy blue beam of light, which it thought was certain to kill it, just like that... disappeared?

Deep within the Ice Palace, the Ice Queen's raised hand froze in mid-air.

The icy blue light that had been condensed to its fullest extent in her palm suddenly stopped just before it was about to be released.

Her pupils contracted slightly.

It wasn't because she sensed any powerful force.

Rather, it was because she sensed a familiar aura within that golden halo.

It wasn't soul power, nor spiritual power, nor any of the powers she had encountered on this continent.

That's the power of the fairy tale world.

It is the same power as her.

It is a power that only those who, like her, were summoned to this continent from the fairy tale world by Lin Wan can possess.

The Ice Queen's fingers twitched slightly.

She gazed at the pink figure shrouded in golden light in the distance, and at the mark radiating a soft glow on her neck. In her mind, an auspicious beast, its body shimmering with nine-colored light, lay quietly by the lake.

Nine-colored deer.

The auspicious beast of that fairy tale world.

What is her relationship with Xiao Wu?

The Snow Queen's brows furrowed slowly.

Her gaze lingered on Xiao Wu for a moment.
