—------------------—
Hearing this, Xue Tianxing's heart skipped a beat - what was the "thing" that Bingdi was talking about?
Could it be that there are other powerful beings in the Far North who are keeping an eye on him?
Xue Tianxing was about to ask, but Xue Di spoke first:
"Bing'er, feel it carefully. His ultimate ice is different from ours."
Xue Di stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Xue Tianxing's wings. She closed her eyes and felt it for a moment before she slowly said:
"His ice attribute is purer and more brutal than ours. It has surpassed ordinary ultimate ice and reached a new realm. However... this evolution seems incomplete, like an unripe seed, with infinite potential but yet to fully erupt."
Xue Tianxing was stunned.
He knew that his Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was the ultimate ice, but he never imagined that his ice attribute would surpass that of the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, the two representatives of the ultimate ice!
Then Xue Tianxing suddenly remembered that when he absorbed the Wutong fruit before, he did feel that the ice soul power in his body had undergone some subtle changes, becoming more condensed and more domineering. However, at that time he thought it was just a change brought about by the increase in soul power. He did not expect that it was actually his martial soul evolving towards a higher level.
"Beyond the Ultimate Ice?"
Xue Tianxing muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock and ecstasy - if his martial soul could fully evolve, how terrifying would his strength be?
The Ice Emperor, standing by, looked even more puzzled after hearing what the Snow Emperor said:
"Beyond the ultimate ice... what level is that?"
Xue Di shook her head, with a serious look in her eyes:
"I don't know either."
Then Xue Di continued:
"Forget it, let's not research it anymore. Let's just take him there directly."
Hearing this, Bingdi nodded, and then Xue Tianxing actually saw envy in Bingdi's eyes when he looked at him.
Seeing the Ice and Snow Emperors turning around and walking towards the depths of the Ice Palace, as if they were taking him somewhere, Xue Tianxing quickly asked:
"Where are you taking me?"
Without even turning his head, Bingdi said in a tone that left no room for doubt:
"Just follow me. It will only benefit you. With our strength, we wouldn't have to go to such lengths to harm you."
Xue Di also stopped and looked back at him, her eyes softening slightly:
"Bing'er is right. Come with us. This will greatly benefit the evolution of your martial spirit."
Xue Tianxing thought about it and felt that what they said made sense - with the Ice and Snow Emperors' nearly 700,000 and 400,000 years of cultivation respectively, if they really wanted to take his life, they could just move their fingers and he wouldn't even have a chance to resist. There was really no need to go to so much trouble.
So Xue Tianxing suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickly followed.
The Snow Queen raised her hand, condensed an ice-type soul power at her fingertips, and gently pressed it on the ground of the Ice Palace.
With a "crack", the ground slowly cracked, revealing a staircase extending downwards. The walls on both sides of the stairs were inlaid with glowing ice crystals, illuminating the way forward.
The two emperors of ice and snow walked in first, followed closely by Xue Tianxing.
After walking down the stairs for about an incense stick of time, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear - a palace that was older and more magnificent than the ice palace above appeared in front of me.
The walls of this hall are made of huge black ice, carved with countless ancient runes. A faint ice energy flows between the runes, making it look mysterious and solemn.
In the center of the hall stands a three-meter-high altar made of pure white ice crystals. Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding light.
And in the center of the altar, there was something emitting a soft blue and white light, which attracted Xue Tianxing's full attention.
He followed the two Ice and Snow Emperors, walking towards the altar step by step, his curiosity growing stronger and stronger.
When they reached the foot of the altar, the two emperors of ice and snow stopped and showed unprecedented piety on their faces.
They bowed deeply to the glowing object in the center of the altar, their postures extremely respectful, completely different from their previous majestic appearance.
After the worship, Bingdi turned around and shouted to Xue Tianxing:
"Boy, get to the altar!"
Xue Tianxing walked onto the ice crystal altar without hesitation.
The closer you get to the center of the altar, the more obvious the soft halo becomes.
When Xue Tian walked closer, he finally saw the true face of the glowing object - it was a hexagonal ice-blue ice crystal, about the size of a fist. There seemed to be countless tiny snowflakes dancing inside the crystal, emitting extremely pure ice energy. Just getting close to it made his Ice Phoenix Martial Soul couldn't help but resonate with joy.
Xue Tianxing glanced at the two Ice and Snow Emperors under the altar in confusion, and saw that their eyes were full of expectation and piety, as if they were waiting for something.
Xue Tianxing turned his gaze back to the ice crystal, his heart full of confusion - what on earth was this ice crystal?
Why are the two emperors of ice and snow so respectful to it?
At this moment, the hexagonal ice crystal suddenly burst out with brilliant blue-white light, which instantly enveloped Xue Tianxing.
He only felt a strong suction coming from the ice crystals, and his consciousness became blurred again.
When Xue Tianxing calmed down again, he found himself in a pure white world. There was nothing around him, only endless white snow extending into the distance.
Not far in front of Xue Tianxing, there stood a man in a blue and white robe.
The man had his back to him, his figure standing tall, his long silver-white hair casually draped over his shoulders. He exuded an icy aura that originated from the ice crystals but was even more vast, as if he was the ruler of the entire snow-white world.
Xue Tianxing stared at the tall figure in front of him, his heart filled with anxiety and doubts, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Who are you? Why did you bring me to this place?"
Hearing Xue Tianxing's voice, the man slowly turned around.
Xue Tianxing saw his face clearly - sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, fair skin, facial features like carefully carved ice crystals, exuding a coldness that kept people at a distance. The icy aura lingering around him was vast and majestic, far more awe-inspiring than the two Ice and Snow Emperors.
"My name is Bingxuan. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, people called me the Ice God."
The man's voice was as clear as the sound of ice crystals colliding, yet it carried the vicissitudes of time:
"I asked you to come here because you and I are destined to be together."
"Ice God?!"
Xue Tianxing was struck by lightning and froze in place instantly, his eyes wide open.
He never thought that he would actually meet the legendary god!
The gods of Douluo Continent all live in the God Realm, so how could the residual soul of an Ice God remain in the Far North?
