Chapter 128: Ice Emperor's Tribulation
After Huo Yuhao fulfilled his agreement with the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, he also got what he needed in the Wanzai Xuanbing Cave, but Huo Yuhao did not return to Tiandou City directly.

Instead, he followed the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor back to the core area of ​​the Far North.

One is that Huo Yuhao has some new ideas and wants to use the environment of the core area of ​​the Far North to conduct experiments.

The second reason was that Huo Yuhao wanted to observe the scene of the ferocious beast undergoing the tribulation from close range, and wanted to see if he could use this opportunity to use the tribulation thunder as inspiration to acquire some new methods.

The territory of Ice Emperor.

By this time the sky had become gloomy.

Although the sky in the Far North is always dark, most of the time is spent in the howling wind and snow.

But today, this area, which was originally the territory of the Ice Emperor and the core area of ​​the Far North, has also undergone subtle changes due to the extremely cold temperatures that were shrouded it all year round.

It did not decrease, but increased slightly. Although the increase was not obvious and did not even affect the strength of the Ice Emperor, it represented one thing.

On a snow hill, the Ice Emperor's body has now grown to nearly two meters in length, but this is only temporary. A thick layer of ice shell covers the outside of the Ice Emperor's body.

It's just that its color is similar to the Ice Emperor's original shell, so it is difficult to distinguish. Even so, it does not look bloated, but makes the appearance of the Ice Emperor Scorpion look even more beautiful.

These shells are a layer of defense formed by the Ice Emperor by mobilizing the power of the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow within his body and combining it with his own ultimate ice properties and abilities to resist the upcoming first few waves of thunder.

Although for Tian Meng, who is an ice silkworm, the existence of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow would take him an unusually long time whether to consume or absorb it, after all, his original body is only the lowest existence in the Far North.

Therefore, every time he consumed the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow, he would need to fall into a deep sleep, digesting the power of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow over time, and at the same time using the power of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow to improve his own racial level.

However, for a beast like the Ice Emperor, whose race is powerful and whose cultivation is profound, the speed at which it absorbs the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow is far less slow than that of Tian Meng at the beginning. However, for the Ice Emperor, she does not have time to absorb it slowly.

Although the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow is a natural treasure that can improve the cultivation of ice-attributed soul beasts and soul masters, for the Ice Emperor who is about to face a catastrophe, she can only store the extremely pure ice-attributed energy contained in the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow in her body as much as possible.

Through these energies, he can maintain a peak state for a long time during the catastrophe, and can burst out power far beyond normal, although it is a bit of a pity compared to perfect refining.

But if they can survive the catastrophe, then for the Ice Emperor it would be equivalent to buying an extra 100,000 years of breathing time, which is already precious enough.

Although the cultivation level of vicious beasts cannot be directly equated with their lifespan, for vicious beasts that need to cultivate and pass a tribulation once every 100,000 years, if they have no confidence, suppressing their cultivation and slowly killing time is a common choice.

In the distance, Huo Yuhao, Xue Di and Di Ruier were watching the Ice Emperor on the distant snow hill. Behind them was a large group of Ice Scorpions. Now the Ice Emperor’s clansmen were also here to watch their clan leader transcend the tribulation.

Although with the help of the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow and the innate abilities of the Emperor's auspicious beast, the Ice Emperor's success rate in overcoming the tribulation this time is over 90%.

However, in order to prevent any accidents, the Ice Emperor informed his tribesmen in advance that if he failed to survive the tribulation, all the Ice Scorpions must unconditionally obey the arrangements of the Snow Emperor.

Whether these Ice Scorpions are willing or not, now they can only pray that their leader can successfully survive this catastrophe.

Time passed by minute by minute, with the Ice Emperor's aura and power gradually rising. At the same time, in the already dark sky, there were flashes of lightning hidden in it.

There was total silence between heaven and earth, and a feeling of oppression arose spontaneously. The snow and wind that had been howling in the far north all year round also calmed down for a rare moment.

The ones who felt this most deeply were undoubtedly the soul beasts in the Far North. Regardless of whether they were near the place where the Ice Emperor was undergoing the tribulation or not, their bloodlines seemed to be roaring unwillingly yet trembling helplessly.

"Here it comes." Suddenly, Xue Di and Di Rui'er said almost in unison.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao immediately used the Eye of Truth form after his martial soul awakened for the second time.

As his soul power, mental power, and vitality were gradually consumed, Huo Yuhao had also pushed the observation and deconstruction capabilities of the Eye of Truth to the extreme.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket fell from the sky. However, from the perspective of Huo Yuhao's Eye of Truth, in addition to the elements that make up normal lightning, this lightning seemed to contain some special composition method.

And it is precisely because of this that this kind of thunder is particularly destructive, and this destructive power is extremely threatening to mortals and soul beasts who still have flesh and blood.

Because of this unique structure, the distribution of elemental power in this thunder is extremely pure. According to the Douluo Continent, the power of this thunder, even if it is not the ultimate thunder, is probably not much different.

The essence of the ultimate attribute lies in its purity. Through ultimate purity, it excludes other elements and components. Its powerful destructive power is only its most obvious superficial feature.

However, although this first thunder looked terrifying, it was actually just the beginning. The Ice Emperor, who had made sufficient preparations, would naturally not be afraid.

I saw the Ice Emperor's huge front claws raised high, with green soul power flowing on them. Against the backdrop of the ice shell outside the front claws, they seemed as gorgeous as the most famous wonder of the Far North, the Aurora.

When the thunder came into contact with the Ice Emperor, it directly collided with the flashing light on the Ice Emperor's front claws, and was then directly blasted apart on the spot by the Ice Emperor's attack. However, the aftermath of the confrontation created another wave of snow.

Through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao could see that when the two forces clashed, the power of thunder and the power of extreme ice collided and repelled each other.

In the end, the Ice Emperor was more powerful, and with the protection of the ice shell formed by the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow, the Ice Emperor did not suffer any substantial damage. It was just that after this collision, the ice shell protecting the Ice Emperor had some tiny cracks, which were then quickly repaired by the Ice Emperor using the energy of the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow stored in his body.

Seeing this scene, the ice scorpions couldn't help but wave their front claws and tail hooks excitedly, cheering for their leader.

Even the Snow Queen breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Bing'er is in good condition. She is worthy of being the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow. I was originally worried that Bing'er would encounter the most dangerous thunder tribulation this time, and the preparations made before might not be enough."

Huo Yuhao was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he also knew about the ferocious beasts undergoing tribulation, he only knew about the thunder tribulation in general, but he didn't know what the specific explanation was.

Seeing Huo Yuhao’s confusion, Snow Queen gave a brief explanation: “Although the tribulations experienced by ferocious beasts are usually called heavenly tribulations, generally speaking, the weaker ones are also called elemental heavenly tribulations. They are usually more common in the 200,000-year heavenly tribulations.”

"Although it is born from the sky like a thunderbolt and comes in the form of thunder, it is actually composed of various elements. Generally speaking, it is the four basic elements of earth, water, fire and wind, which are then mixed and changed."

"Compared to the pure thunder tribulation that Bing'er encountered this time, the elemental heavenly tribulation is much inferior in terms of direct lethality."

“However, compared to this pure thunder tribulation, although the elemental tribulation is relatively easier to overcome, due to its ability to change, the sequelae after overcoming the tribulation are more difficult to deal with.”

"There can be as few as one element or as many as four elements mixed in the heavenly tribulation. The water element heavenly tribulation can produce changes such as water, ice, and snow. The addition of multiple elements will also produce new changes based on their characteristics."

"I even heard that Emperor Tian had survived a seven-element tribulation last time, and the strongest tribulation I encountered was only a four-element tribulation. That has already made me lose confidence in facing the next tribulation."

At this point, Xue Di smiled bitterly as if she remembered something, and then continued: "Although I don't know exactly how he did it, I think the auspicious beast should know better than me."

Then Xue Di continued, "After the tribulation is completed, the various conflicting elements in the elemental tribulation will hide in the body of the beast, and it will take a lot of time to eliminate them."

"The last time Bing'er encountered a catastrophe lasting 300,000 years, it was a three-element catastrophe, composed of earth, water, and fire. It was precisely because of the conflict and changes of these three elements that she was left with indelible hidden injuries."

“Although most ferocious beasts can only encounter a two-element heavenly tribulation even in a 300,000-year heavenly tribulation, maybe Bing’er was just unlucky last time.”

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully. At the same time, his attention was still on the Ice Emperor. As the Snow Emperor said, although this thunder tribulation seemed fierce, it did not leave any obvious traces or effects after it dissipated.

Now the Ice Emperor's tribulation has entered the middle stage. The thunders that fall one after another are not as thick as the first one, but the terrifying power contained in them is still greater.

Even with the help of the natural treasure Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow, the Ice Emperor could no longer completely maintain the ice shell that originally protected himself. He could only concentrate the ice shell on his vital points as much as possible.

For other parts that were not protected by the ice shell, the originally dazzling emerald green diamond-like shell of the Ice Emperor Scorpion had been covered with a layer of dark color. Although there was still a faint green light flashing, it was obvious that the Ice Emperor was trying its best to recover.

Lightning flashed and fell one after another, turning the wound on the snow hill where the Ice Emperor was located into a prison of thunder.

At this moment, the ice and snow no longer flew. When the Ice Emperor collided with the thunder tribulation, the Ice Emperor had already integrated the surrounding ice element energy into his own domain to resist the power of heaven.

However, as the thunder tribulation became more fierce, the Ice Emperor's territory began to shrink, and was gradually swallowed up by the thunder domain. At this time, the Ice Emperor's thunder tribulation was about to come to an end.

This was thanks to the help of the Emperor's auspicious beast, which weakened the subsequent thunder tribulation. Otherwise, if the Ice Emperor was facing a thunder tribulation of normal power, he would have been swallowed up by the thunder domain by now.

At this moment, the Ice Scorpions and the Snow Emperor were extremely nervous.

Di Ruier made a prayer gesture, and the Eye of Destiny between his brows opened wide. An evil red light sank into the air, and his whole body entered a strange state.

Huo Yuhao was not idle either. He closed his eyes, and at the same time, from the Eye of Truth behind him, tentacles made of mental power stretched out and headed towards where the Ice Emperor was.

Huo Yuhao had just been unable to comprehend the power contained in the thunder tribulation, and now only by facing danger himself could he have a chance of success.

As Huo Yuhao’s mental power spread, the mental power touches originating from the Eye of Truth were directly annihilated by thunder when they entered the Thunder Domain, and Huo Yuhao’s face turned pale.

However, he seemed to have grasped some feeling. Although he had only grasped the basics of the power hidden in the thunder, it was already a beginner's guide. He only needed to slowly ponder it and he would be able to perfect it.

At this moment, in the thunder area composed of purple thunder, a green light suddenly burst out and rushed straight into the sky, directly turning the originally gloomy sky into the color of jade.

Huo Yuhao and Di Ruier had also seen this scene when they first entered the Ice God Lake and met the Ice Emperor.

The originally dense thunder was swept by the green light and dissipated directly into the air. At the same time, ice crystals condensed. The original snow hill had become flat ground, but the Ice Emperor still stood on the top of the mountain.

A hill formed by ice elements, extreme ice, and the Ice Emperor. At this time, the charred outer shell of the Ice Emperor that was damaged by the thunder tribulation has faded away, revealing a brand new gorgeous outer shell.

However, the Ice Emperor's original body, which was 1.6 meters in height, had shrunk a lot at this time. Huo Yuhao was able to observe this directly only through the Eye of Truth. That is, compared with the previous situation, the Ice Emperor's ultimate ice was now purer.

At this time, the Ice Blue Scorpions were waving their front claws in unison, colliding with each other, opening and closing up and down, making crisp sounds. This was the unique way of celebration for the Ice Blue Scorpions.

They were congratulating their patriarch, their king, for having survived this catastrophe, and congratulating her for being able to continue to lead them and continue to exist in this cold land of the Far North.
