Chapter 116: Battle with the Ice Emperor
Er Ming and Ah Bao were both on edge as soon as the Ice Emperor appeared.
Her body, which was less than one-tenth of their size, brought an enormous pressure upon them.
"If you leave now, I'll pretend nothing happened. Tianmeng and that human must stay."
The aura of the Dan Tower deeply attracted the Ice Emperor. She had a feeling that if she could devour Tianmeng and obtain the secrets hidden in the human's body, she would easily survive the next and even the following tribulations.
Ah Bao and Er Ming growled angrily as they heard the Ice Emperor's arrogant words. This was the first time they had been so openly disrespected.
"Ice Emperor, stop being so stubborn. Little Brother Ning Bei will definitely become a god in the future. If you become his soul, once he ascends, we won't have to worry about the tribulations anymore."
Tianmeng, seeing the tension between the three beasts, feared they might end up harming each other, so he quickly began to persuade the Ice Emperor.
"Hmph, you've lived for a million years, but you're still so foolish. To trust a mere human child? Even if I die in battle, I will never become a human's soul. Come at me with all you've got."
Tianmeng's words didn't persuade the Ice Emperor. Instead, they only fueled her hatred for humanity. After all, why should a soul beast, who has spent hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, only become a garment for a human with a lifespan of a few hundred years?
"Bing´er."
"Stop babbling, Eternal Freezing Domain!"
The already cold air instantly transformed into solid ice under the Ice Emperor's domain, making it difficult for the group and the beasts to move.
Er Ming roared, immediately releasing his gravity domain to resist the cold air, while Ah Bao also entered his berserk form.
Seeing that a fight was inevitable, Ning Bei didn't just stand by anymore. He gathered his strength and threw several pills at Ah Bao and Er Ming: the Life Revival Pill, Dragon Power Pill, Beast Power Pill, Vitality Pill, and Wind Walker Pill.
The two beasts weren't strangers to taking pills. They opened their massive mouths and inhaled the pills, immediately feeling their strength increase exponentially.
The two beasts no longer feared the Ice Emperor in front of them, and even though they were wounded, they could still consume pills! They unleashed their ultimate moves and charged toward the Ice Emperor.
"Million Ton Gravity Fist!"
"Heaven-Tearing Claw!"
The Ice Emperor's expression darkened as she watched the two beasts' power skyrocket in a mere few seconds. She couldn't understand how these two soul beasts, who were far behind her in strength, could suddenly possess a power that even she felt was dangerous.
She turned her gaze toward Ning Bei behind the beasts.
"It's you?"
But before she could think any further, the attacks from the two beasts arrived in an instant.
"Ice Emperor's Protection!"
The Ice Emperor's body was instantly covered in a layer of crystalline frost, and the two massive claws swiped at the beasts.
"Ice Emperor's Claws!"
Boom! The three attacks collided, releasing a terrifying energy wave. Ning Bei and Tianmeng immediately retreated several hundred meters to avoid being caught in the blast.
After a while, the ice shards scattered, and the two beasts, Er Ming and Ah Bao , were covered in frost. Their massive mouths were coughing up blood mixed with ice particles.
The Ice Emperor, who had taken the full brunt of their attacks, was also not unscathed. The protective ice layer was nearly destroyed, and her back was dripping with green blood.
Ning Bei admired the Ice Emperor's strength but didn't stop. He summoned two Life Revival Pills and used his soul power to send them to Er Ming and Ah Bao .
The two beasts' eyes brightened. They quickly opened their mouths and swallowed the pills.
What happened next was something that shocked the Ice Emperor. The injuries on the two beasts' bodies healed at a visible rate, and in no time, they were as good as new.
"Damn, that human is up to something. This can't go on."
The Ice Emperor was frantically brainstorming a solution. If this continued, even with her superior cultivation, she would be exhausted.
"Ice Emperor's Fury!"
Before Er Ming and Ah Bao could rejoice at their injuries healing, the Ice Emperor immediately launched her second round of attacks.
The two giant beasts instantly turned into ice sculptures.
To be honest, the Ice Emperor had an artistic side. If this were displayed in a museum in the past life, it would definitely become the centerpiece.
The Ice Emperor didn't expect this move to defeat Er Ming and Ah Bao , but merely to buy herself some time.
Her one-and-a-half-meter tall figure suddenly surged forward and charged directly at Ning Bei.
"Hmph, I'll deal with you first, human. Let's see how these two will keep taking their pills."
Ning Bei and Tianmeng's faces changed drastically. Just as he was about to release his soul bone technique, the Radiance Wall, a golden figure appeared in front of him.
"Angel's Protection."
Ning Bei and Tianmeng stared blankly at the small angel in front of them. What was she thinking? Was she really trying to block this with her Soul Emperor-level power?
As expected, the Ice Emperor's dual claws shattered the golden shield in an instant. Qian Renxue spat out a mouthful of blood, then flew straight toward Ning Bei.
Ning Bei quickly caught her, a speechless look on his face as he stared at the pale little angel in his arms.
"Seriously, big sister, what are you thinking? Why not just stay back and watch?"
"You… you're just a little support. Your soul beasts are trapped. What will you do if I don't come out?"
Ning Bei felt deeply moved. Although this woman's thought process wasn't exactly right, her loyalty to him was strong.
"Quickly run. After I die, take my body back to the Spirit Hall and give it to my grandpa."
Looking at the little angel who was breathing more shallowly and speaking about her death, Ning Bei felt a bit underestimated. He didn't believe there was anyone his pills couldn't save.
A Life Revival Pill appeared in his hand, and he immediately stuffed it into Qian Renxue's mouth.
The little angel's eyes widened as she felt her broken organs rapidly healing at lightning speed.
In less than a few seconds, she was back to her peak condition.
Staring at Ning Bei, she was speechless for a long time.
Ning Bei impatiently waved his hand in front of her face.
"What's wrong? Did you get hit in the head? Or is it too comfortable in my arms and you don't want to leave? Get up now, the situation isn't right."
Qian Renxue, interrupted by his annoying voice, shot him a fierce glare. She quickly stood up and kicked Ning Bei's leg.
"Hmph, why didn't you give it to me earlier!"
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of disappointment. She still didn't trust him.
Seeing the two of them bickering, the Ice Emperor was enraged to the point of no return. As one of the three kings of the Extreme North, when had she ever been disrespected like this? Being treated like this and fed dog food?
"Healed, huh? Die with me!"
Furious, she forgot her original plan to capture Ning Bei and interrogate him. With a single, wrathful strike, she attacked the three of them.
Seeing this, the little angel's face changed dramatically. She quickly prepared to use Angel's Protection again, knowing that Ning Bei had pills.
Her actions nearly broke Ning Bei's defense. What kind of hyperactive girl was she?
Quickly, he grabbed her by the back of the neck and tossed her behind him.
"Bad girl, what are you doing?"
The little angel, seeing herself thrown to the back, looked at Ning Bei in panic, only to hear his teeth-gritting voice.
"From now on, stay behind me and don't do anything. I don't have many Life Revival Pills left."
"But…"
Ning Bei didn't have time to pay her any more attention. The Ice Emperor's attack had already reached them. Ning Bei raised his left arm, and the Radiance Wall activated.
When the Ice Emperor's attack collided with the wall, the energy surged like waves crashing.
Ning Bei glanced at the two beasts, now turned into ice sculptures, and saw that their arms and legs had freed themselves from the thick ice. However, they still needed some time to fully break free.
