Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 128 Ice Emperor's Tribulation

After Huo Yuhao completed his agreement with the Ice Emperor and Snow Empress, he also obtained what he needed in the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave, but he did not return directly to Tiandou City.

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

Firstly, Huo Yuhao had some new ideas he wanted to experiment with, using the environment of the core area of the Far North.

Secondly, Huo Yuhao wanted to observe the scene of a ferocious beast undergoing tribulation up close, hoping to gain inspiration from the tribulation lightning and acquire some new skills.

The Ice Emperor's territory.

At this time, the sky had already become gloomy.

Although the sky in the Far North is usually devoid of sunlight, with most of the time spent in howling wind and snow.

Today, however, the area that served as the Ice Emperor's territory, the core area of the Far North, had a faint change in its usual extremely cold temperature.

It wasn't a decrease, but a slight increase. Although the magnitude wasn't significant, and didn't even affect the Ice Emperor's strength, it represented something.

On a snow hill, the Ice Emperor's main body had grown to nearly two meters in length, but this was only temporary. The Ice Emperor's carapace was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Its color was similar to the Ice Emperor's original carapace, making it difficult to distinguish. Despite this, it didn't appear bloated, but instead made the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion look even more beautiful.

These carapaces were a layer of defense formed by the Ice Emperor mobilizing the power of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow from within her body, combined with her ultimate ice attribute and abilities, to resist the first few waves of tribulation lightning that were about to arrive.

Although for Tianmeng, who was an Ice Silkworm, it would take an exceptionally long time to consume or absorb the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, as his main body was only the lowest existence in the Far North.

This was why he needed to fall into a deep sleep after each time he finished eating the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, using time to digest its power and enhance his racial level with its help.

However, for a ferocious beast like the Ice Emperor, who already had a powerful race and profound cultivation, the speed of absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow was far faster than Tianmeng's back then. However, for the Ice Emperor, she didn't have time to slowly absorb it.

Although the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow was a natural treasure for enhancing the cultivation of ice attribute soul beasts and soul masters, for the Ice Emperor, who was about to face a great tribulation, she could only store the incomparably pure ice attribute energy contained within it in her body as much as possible.

Through this energy, she could maintain a full state for a long time during the great tribulation, and be able to unleash power far exceeding her usual strength. Although it was a bit of a pity compared to perfect refinement.

However, if she could survive the great tribulation, it would be equivalent to gaining an extra hundred thousand years of respite for the Ice Emperor, which was precious enough.

Although the cultivation of ferocious beasts cannot be directly equated with their lifespan, as ferocious beasts need to undergo tribulation every hundred thousand years of cultivation, suppressing their cultivation to slowly wear down time is also a common choice if they lack confidence.

In the distance, Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress, and Di Ruier were watching the Ice Emperor on the snow hill from afar. Behind them was a large group of Ice Jade Scorpions. Now, the Ice Emperor's clansmen were also watching the scene of their clan leader undergoing tribulation.

Although with the help of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow and the Emperor Ruirui Beast's talent ability, the success rate of the Ice Emperor's tribulation this time was as high as 90%.

However, to prevent accidents, the Ice Emperor had already instructed her clansmen in advance that if she failed the tribulation, all Ice Jade Scorpions must unconditionally obey the Snow Empress's arrangements.

Whether these Ice Jade Scorpions were willing or not, they could only pray that their clan leader could successfully survive this great tribulation.

Time passed by, accompanied by the Ice Emperor's aura and power gradually rising. At the same time, the originally gloomy sky was even more filled with lightning bolts hidden within, crisscrossing.

The world was silent, and a feeling of oppression arose spontaneously. The wind and snow that usually howled in the Far North had also calmed down, which was rare.

The soul beasts of the Far North undoubtedly felt this the most. Regardless of whether they were near the Ice Emperor's tribulation site, their bloodlines seemed to be roaring unwillingly in the dark, yet trembling helplessly.

"It's coming." Suddenly, the Snow Empress and Di Ruier said almost in unison.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao immediately used his Eye of Truth form after his martial soul's second awakening.

With the gradual consumption of soul power, spiritual power, and vitality, Huo Yuhao had already pushed the observation and analysis abilities of the Eye of Truth to the extreme.

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

Because of this, this kind of lightning was particularly destructive, and this destructive power was extremely threatening to mortals and soul beasts who still had flesh and blood.

Because of this unique structure, the distribution of elemental power in this tribulation lightning was particularly pure. If according to the Douluo Continent's saying, then the power of this tribulation lightning, even if it wasn't ultimate lightning, was probably not far off.

The fundamental aspect of ultimate attributes lies in purity. Through ultimate purity, other elements and components are excluded, and powerful lethality is only its most obvious manifestation.

However, although this first lightning bolt looked terrifying, it was actually just the beginning, and the well-prepared Ice Emperor would naturally not be afraid.

The Ice Emperor's huge front pincers were raised high, with emerald green soul power flowing on them. Under the reflection of the ice shell outside the front pincers, it was as brilliant as the most famous spectacle in the Far North, the aurora.

When the lightning came into contact with the Ice Emperor, it directly collided with the light flashing on the Ice Emperor's front pincers, and was then directly blasted away by the Ice Emperor's attack. However, the aftermath of this confrontation stirred up another wave of snow.

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

In the end, the Ice Emperor's power was still superior, and with the protection of the ice shell formed by the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, the Ice Emperor did not suffer any substantial damage.

However, after this collision, the ice shell protecting Ice Empress's body showed some faint cracks, which were immediately and rapidly repaired by the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow energy stored within her body.

Seeing this scene, the Ice Jade Scorpions couldn't help but cheer and wave their front pincers and tail hooks, celebrating for their chieftain.

Even Snow Empress breathed a slight sigh of relief: "It seems Bing'er's situation is not bad. As expected of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. I was originally worried that Bing'er would encounter the most dangerous lightning tribulation this time, and that the preparations made earlier might be insufficient."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was a bit puzzled. Although he also knew about the fierce beasts undergoing tribulations, he generally only knew that there was a lightning tribulation, but he didn't know the specifics.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's confusion, Snow Empress gave a simple explanation: "Usually, tribulations similar to those of fierce beasts are called Heavenly Tribulations, but generally, weaker ones are also called Elemental Heavenly Tribulations, which are more common among the two-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulations."

"Although they are born from the heavens like lightning tribulations, and come with the form of thunder, they are actually composed of various elements, generally the four basic elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, which are then mixed and changed."

"Compared to the pure lightning tribulation that Bing'er encountered this time, the Elemental Heavenly Tribulation is much inferior in terms of frontal destructive power."

"However, compared to this pure lightning tribulation, although the passage of the Elemental Tribulation is relatively easier, the after-effects it brings after the tribulation are more troublesome to deal with due to its ability to change."

"At least one element, and at most four elements, are mixed in the Heavenly Tribulation. The water element Heavenly Tribulation can derive changes such as water, ice, and snow, and when multiple elements are added together, they will also produce new changes according to their characteristics."

"I even heard that Di Tian once underwent a Seven-Element Heavenly Tribulation, and the strongest Heavenly Tribulation I encountered was only a Four-Element one, which had already made me lose confidence in facing the next Heavenly Tribulation."

"Although generally speaking, even among the three-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulations, the most that a fierce beast can encounter is a Two-Element Heavenly Tribulation, it may be that Bing'er was really unlucky last time."

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

Now, Ice Empress's tribulation has entered the middle stage. The successive lightning strikes are not as thick as the first one, but the terrifying power contained within is even greater.

And even Ice Empress, who was assisted by the natural treasure Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, could no longer completely maintain the original ice shell protecting herself, and could only concentrate these ice shells on her vital parts as much as possible.

The other parts without the protection of the ice shell, the originally diamond-like dazzling emerald carapace of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, had been covered with a layer of pitch-black color, although there was still a faint emerald light flashing, it was obvious that Ice Empress was trying her best to recover.

Lightning flashed and fell one after another, rendering the snow hill where Ice Empress was located into a scene of a thunder prison.

At this moment, ice and snow no longer fluttered. When Ice Empress collided with the lightning tribulation, Ice Empress had already integrated the surrounding ice element energy into her domain, in order to resist this heavenly power.

However, as the lightning tribulation became more and more fierce, Ice Empress's domain also shrunk more and more, gradually being swallowed by the thunder domain for the most part, and at this time, Ice Empress's lightning tribulation was also coming to an end.

This was still with the help of the Emperor Rui Beast, weakening the lightning tribulation. Otherwise, if Ice Empress faced a lightning tribulation of normal power, she would probably have been swallowed by the thunder domain long ago.

At this moment, the Ice Jade Scorpion group and Snow Empress were all extremely nervous.

And Emperor Ruier made a praying gesture. I saw the Eye of Destiny in the center of her eyebrows wide open, and the evil red light submerged into the air. At the same time, the whole person entered a strange state.

Huo Yuhao was not idle either. He closed his eyes, and at the same time, in the Eye of Truth behind him, tentacles composed of mental power stretched out towards the place where Ice Empress was.

Huo Yuhao had not been able to understand the power contained in the lightning tribulation during that time. Now, only by being in danger can there be a certain possibility of success.

As Huo Yuhao's mental power spread, these mental power tentacles originating from the Eye of Truth were directly annihilated by the thunder when they entered the thunder domain, and Huo Yuhao's face also turned pale.

However, he also vaguely seemed to have grasped some feeling, the power hidden in the thunder, although it was only superficial, it was equivalent to entering the door, and after that, as long as he slowly pondered, he could perfect it.

At this time, in the thunder domain composed of purple tribulation thunder, suddenly, a bright emerald light shone straight into the sky, directly rendering the originally gloomy sky into the color of jade.

Huo Yuhao and Emperor Ruier had also seen this scene when they first met Ice Empress in Ice God Lake.

I saw that the original dense tribulation thunder was swept away by the emerald light and directly dissipated into the air. At the same time, a little ice crystal condensed, and the original snow hill had become a flat ground, but Ice Empress still stood on the top of the mountain.

A hill formed by ice elements, by extreme ice, by Ice Empress, at this time, the scorched shell on the surface of Ice Empress that was injured by the lightning tribulation had faded away, revealing a brand-new gorgeous shell.

It's just that Ice Empress's original body, which was already 1.6 meters long, had shrunk a lot at this time, but Huo Yuhao could only directly observe through the Eye of Truth that compared to the previous situation, Ice Empress's current extreme ice was more pure.

At this time, the Ice Jade Scorpions were all waving their front pincers, colliding with each other, opening and closing up and down, making a crisp sound, which was the unique celebration method of the Ice Jade Scorpions.

They were celebrating their chieftain, their king, passing this tribulation, celebrating that she could continue to lead them and continue to exist on this cold land in the far north.
