The Ice Emperor was somewhat unsettled.
She looked back at the silver glow that had just dissipated behind her and murmured, "Space, flame, he can actually control two elements?"
"Perhaps not just two."
The Snow Emperor stared intently at the youth on the platform and realized that she actually couldn't see through him at all.
There was no soul power, and his spiritual power couldn't be detected. There can be only one reason she couldn't detect his spiritual power: the youth's spiritual power vastly overwhelmed hers...
This was what the Snow Emperor couldn't fathom the most.
As the Ice World Snow Lady, born naturally, her spiritual power was also among the top few in Soul Land.
Yet, facing this youth...
"Let's not provoke him any further, this isn't our main purpose for coming here."
"No, I can't stand it, I must teach him a lesson."
The Ice Emperor said as she moved towards Lin Yi, but the Snow Emperor grabbed her arm with her fair little hand.
"What is it now, Sister?"
"Do you see them?"
The Snow Emperor indicated Gu Yuena's group with her eyes.
The Ice Emperor immediately looked over.
Gu Yuena, standing in front, had the face of an angel, her arms crossed over her chest, with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Bi Ji stood awkwardly behind Gu Yuena, raising her small hand in a greeting.
Whereas Di Tian and Zi Ji had stern expressions, looking fierce and not to be trifled with. In comparison, Bi Ji seemed almost like a well-behaved girl.
"Their aura..."
The Ice Emperor was also shocked at this point.
"You've noticed it too, right? All of them are ferocious beasts, especially that man and the silver-haired woman, who even make me feel fear."
The Snow Emperor turned the Ice Emperor's body towards her, speaking seriously to her sister, "Think about our positions when we first arrived."
The Ice Emperor cocked her head, recalling the scene in her mind.
She then remembered that all the people on the scene formed circles around the center stage, with clear hierarchy and orderly distribution.
Like subjects facing their sovereign.
As soul beasts put great importance on hierarchy, the Ice Emperor quickly grasped the meaning her sister wanted to convey.
"That silver-haired woman and the man in black were willing to lower their stance in front of Lin Yi, so do you understand how strong Lin Yi must be?"
The Ice Emperor's heart skipped a beat.
But she still couldn't help looking back at Lin Yi with some reluctance and responded to the Snow Emperor, "Oh..."
The Snow Emperor continued with a grave expression:
"His prestige, status, strength here may all be beyond our imagination, so..."
"Sister, although I don't know where you got your information from, one thing is certain, the information you got is definitely incomplete, even missing a lot."
"Let's be more restrained on someone else's turf, after all, this isn't the far northern lands."
"Oh..."
Even though the Ice Emperor was filled with resentment, facing her sister's advice, she chose to listen.
"You, I will spare you for today!"
The Ice Emperor immediately turned back and said to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi: "?"
Snow Emperor: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"I don't know, what have I done to offend you?"
Lin Yi's dark eyes locked onto the Ice Emperor, who was about to speak, but the Snow Emperor took the lead.
"My sister and I come from the far northern lands, having experienced two soul power disappearances and two landslides. After hearing about you, we specifically came to demand an explanation."
The Snow Emperor's voice was ethereal and pleasant, with a tone that was neither humble nor haughty, and her demeanour was detached from worldly concerns, a stark contrast to the Ice Emperor's cold and irascible bearing.
"If you don't provide an explanation, go ahead and kill me."
Lin Yi looked at her expressionlessly.
What is this?
The Snow Emperor's pretty face stiffened. This guy?
Why isn't he playing by the rules???
He had thrown her off completely with that remark, causing her to quickly lift her fair little hand to her forehead, hastily gathering her thoughts.
"Step back, Sister, let me handle this!"
The Ice Emperor stepped forward, reaching out directly to Lin Yi: "You, give me compensation! Your treasure!"
Lin Yi snorted coldly.
"A treasure isn't something you can have just by reaching out your hand. Did you suffer any harm?"
Harm?
The sisters exchanged a puzzled glance at this moment, not understanding what Lin Yi meant.
From start to finish, the Ice Emperor had only gotten a rough idea from the chat group and had no clue how Lin Yi's "treasure dropping" occurred.
"If you don't understand, then step aside and don't hinder others from attacking and obtaining treasures," Lin Yi said coldly, showing no consideration for the two sisters.
"Just you?"
The Ice Emperor became irate at Lin Yi's arrogant demeanor, but the Snow Emperor quickly held her back, gently shaking her head at her sister.
"Don't rush, let's first see what he's really up to," she said.
"Sister, if you've understood, don't think about cutting in line, cutting in line is not permitted here," Gu Yuena said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile as she turned to look at the sisters.
"Cut in line?"
The sisters both expressed their confusion simultaneously.
Gu Yuena remained silent with a smile.
Seeing Lin Yi beckon him over at this moment, Tang Chen hurriedly walked up to the stage.
The sudden drop in the temperature of the air made him feel that his chronic illness had worsened, perhaps reducing his remaining three days to live to two.
Well, now that was settled; even if he wanted to, there probably was no time left to go see Poseissi.
"Greetings to Senior Lin Yi."
Tang Chen bowed respectfully in front of Lin Yi.
"Hmm, let me give you a heads-up, your last damage was 557,643," Lin Yi said.
Tang Chen's expression froze at once.
The onlookers such as Thousand Waves showed shocked expressions.
They were not only surprised by the high damage Tang Chen managed to inflict but even more astounded that he had achieved such a high level of initial attack damage.
Having witnessed yesterday's attack process and Thousand Waves' detailed explanation, Tang Chen was naturally familiar with the rules.
If the damage from a subsequent attack falls short of the preceding highest damage, one would face the risk of a downgrade in the reward quality.
He couldn't help but give a bitter smile; there was nothing he could do about it, but for Tang Chen at this moment, he was just grateful to receive any reward.
So, he didn't care!
"Understood, Senior, I'm about to attack," he said.
"Hmm," Lin Yi gestured for him to proceed.
Tang Chen stepped backward, took a deep breath, and gathered his focus. While others pursued opportunities by claiming rewards from Lin Yi, he did so to survive.
The aura of an Ultimate Douluo burst forth from within Tang Chen, along with the cold breath of an Asura God.
A blood-red light emerged from Tang Chen's body, surging upward like flames. As he extended his right hand, it was not the Asura Sword that appeared but his original Martial Soul, the Hao Tian Hammer!
Having not summoned his Martial Soul for a long time, Tang Chen felt somewhat moved at this moment.
"Martial Soul True Body!" he said in a deep and powerful voice as a humanoid blood-colored shadow rose abruptly from his body. The shadow expanded continuously and stood tall behind him, initially appearing to have an imposing manner reaching up to the sky.
Thousand Waves, seeing this familiar scene, was likewise filled with emotion.
It was all from the past!
Tang Chen lifted the Hao Tian Hammer in his hand, and the blood-colored shadow mirrored his action.
"Ninth soul skill, God of Slaughter's Descent!" The sound boomed across the sky, making the blood-colored shadow grow even more substantial. The Haotian True Body seemed to transform into an Asura Real Body at that moment.
The colossal shadow raised the hammer tall as Optimus Prime, letting out a thunderous roar. As the hammer came crashing down, the surrounding air grew scorching hot. Bi Bidong looked up, feeling spontaneously that this move was more imposing than her Eternal Night Meteor.
The sky seemed to be enveloped in a layer of blood.
"Boom!" The hammer struck down heavily upon Lin Yi.
At this moment, everyone held their breath as the Damage Rebound was about to strike!
With Tang Chen suffering from a severe illness, he surely couldn't connect his next attack in time.
Just as Thousand Waves was ready to intervene, the invading Damage Rebound in mid-air suddenly became stagnant as if the pause button had been pressed.
Thousand Waves immediately looked up and saw Lin Yi, who sat cross-legged on the ground, raising his right hand solemnly. His palm emitted a faint seven-colored glow.
It was Lin Yi who had taken control of the Damage Rebound!
"Until your illness improves, I will handle the Damage Rebound for you. You need not worry," Lin Yi said indifferently as he clenched his fist, shattering the Damage Rebound like a mirror.
"Thank you, Senior!" Tang Chen knelt on one knee, his face pale.
Lin Yi nodded and looked at the display.
The content on it took him by surprise.
ps. Thank you for the continued reading.
