"Good!"
Di Tian no longer held back, extending his right hand as well!
"Dragon God Claw!"
A massive phantom Dragon Claw soared upwards to meet it!
Boom!
The two terrifying Dragon Claws fiercely collided in mid-air!
In that instant, heaven and earth lost their color!
The purple-black Abyssal Demonic Energy clashed wildly against Di Tian's Dragon God Claw, and the resulting energy storm instantly lifted all the surrounding lake water high into the sky!
The sound of space shattering was incessant.
Under this terrifying shockwave, even the thick-skinned Xiong Jun was blown back repeatedly, having to dig his claws into the ground just to stabilize himself.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Xiong Jun struggled to open his eyes against the fierce wind, staring dumbfounded at the scene in the sky.
He saw in mid-air.
Zi Ji's World Destroying Claw and Di Tian's Dragon God Claw were actually... locked in a stalemate!
Although Di Tian had suppressed his cultivation and hadn't used his full power.
This was the Dragon God Claw!
Yet it was blocked by Zi Ji?
Moreover, judging by appearances, although Zi Ji was struggling, she was not losing ground!
"Break!"
Both roared simultaneously, forcing each other back a hundred meters.
The storm subsided.
Zi Ji gasped slightly, looking at her faintly trembling right hand, her eyes filled with excitement.
Across from her, Di Tian looked at his own palm, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Zi Ji... this move of yours is very powerful!"
Di Tian took a deep breath, his gaze toward Zi Ji completely changed... Compared to the duel happening deep inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
The human powers outside could only stare at the cold lines of text on the heavenly screen, sinking into deep despair and speculation.
They could not see the world-shattering duel between Zi Ji and Di Tian.
But they could read the characters!
Especially the lines concerning the rewards, which struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
In front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace in Spirit Hall.
"The Star Dou Great Forest has gained another super ferocious Spirit Beast over 300,000 years old!"
Qian Daoliu muttered.
Since the Spirit Beast domain ranking list was released, how many ferocious Spirit Beasts over 300,000 years old have appeared?
Everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on their hearts.
The previous Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King belonged to the Extreme North and were far away, so while everyone was apprehensive, they were still relatively calm.
But the Star Dou Great Forest was different!
It was a forest located right in the core hinterland of the continent, not too far from Spirit City.
"Big Brother..."
Lion Douluo's voice was dry: "The previous Crimson King increased by 30,000 years, and now Zi Ji has increased by 40,000 years."
"And both received the 'Ignore Heavenly Tribulation' reward."
"Just how many monsters over 300,000 years old are hidden in this Star Dou Great Forest?"
"If these monsters truly unite and launch a Beast Tide... can we humans stop them?"
No one dared to answer this question.
Even Qian Daoliu, who considered himself very strong now, how many powerful ferocious Spirit Beasts could he withstand?
Furthermore, the ranking had only reached the thirteenth spot!
The golden light before their eyes flickered once more.
[Spirit Beast domain ranking list, Twelfth Place: Permafrost Domain]
[Owner: Ice Jade Empress Scorpion (Ice Empress)]
[Affiliation: Extreme North/Core Area]
[Domain Effect: Absolute control over Ultimate Ice. When the Domain is deployed, the surrounding hundred miles turn into eternal permafrost.]
[Effect One: Absolute Freezing. The temperature within the Domain instantly drops to Absolute Zero. Even experts of the same rank, without protective Ultimate attributes, will have their blood and spirit power instantly solidify.]
[Effect Two: Ice Emperor's Wrath. Within the Domain, all of the Ice Empress's attacks carry shattering and explosive effects, and her defense is raised to a terrifying degree, making her a mobile Extreme Ice Fortress.]
[Evaluation: The Sovereign of the Ice Jade Scorpion tribe. Her Domain is simple and pure, born for slaughter and destruction. Extremely high explosive power combined with insurmountable defense makes her almost invincible in close combat. The drawback is immense consumption.]
[Reward: Spirit Beast lifespan increased by 40,000 years, Domain comprehensively strengthened, ignoring the next two Heavenly Tribulations, granting innate divine skill: Ice Burst Technique, Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice Marrow (Large Quantity)]
...In the deepest part of the Extreme North.
In front of the Snow Maiden Palace.
When that long list of rewards appeared, the Ice Empress, who had previously been standing with her arms crossed and an arrogant expression, completely lost her composure!
Her beautiful eyes, which were originally as cold as frost, were now wide open, shimmering with the light of ecstasy.
"Ice... Ice Burst Technique?!"
The Ice Empress's voice was trembling—a tremor of excitement!
"The heavenly screen actually rewarded me with the Ice Burst Technique?!"
As the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, she ruled the entire Ice Jade Scorpion tribe.
And the Ice Burst Technique was the strongest Innate Divine Skill in their tribe's legends!
It was hailed as the strongest Killing Move of their tribe!
However, this skill was extremely rare; one could even say it depended on luck.
She, the dignified Ice Empress, possessed the most supreme bloodline and had cultivated for nearly 400,000 years, yet she lacked this innate talent and had never been able to learn this divine skill!
This had become the greatest regret and obsession in her heart.
But now, the heavenly screen actually shoved this divine skill she had dreamed of right into her hands?!
Boom!
A pillar of emerald green light descended from the sky!
The Ice Empress's small body was bathed in the light pillar.
Her original 390,000 years of cultivation instantly broke through under the infusion of that massive energy!
390,000 years... 400,000 years... 410,000 years... 430,000 years!
She advanced 40,000 years in one go!
She was now a genuine 430,000-year-old super ferocious Spirit Beast!
Moreover, a profound memory suddenly appeared in her mind.
It contained all the mysteries of "Ice Burst"!
"This feeling..."
The Ice Empress extended a slender finger and lightly pointed at an iceberg a thousand meters tall in the distance.
She could clearly perceive the ice elements contained within that iceberg.
If she wished it, she could detonate it!
"Ice Burst Technique!"
There was no spirit power fluctuation, nor any warning.
Boom!
The inside of the massive iceberg seemed to have been loaded with countless tons of explosives, instantly bursting apart from within!
Countless fragments of ice shot out like bullets, and the entire iceberg instantly turned into a sky full of ice dust!
"Hahaha!"
The Ice Empress let out a laugh that was as sweet as silver bells yet full of dominance.
"So this is the Ice Burst Technique?"
The Ice Empress's small face was flushed with excitement.
She turned around, looked at the Snow Empress beside her who was equally shocked, and proudly lifted her chin.
"Snow Empress, did you see that? This Sovereign can use the Ice Burst Technique now too!"
"Congratulations, Ice Empress." The Snow Empress's eyes were also full of relief and gentleness.
However, the surprises weren't over yet!
As the golden light dispersed, a crystal-clear ice pillar, resembling a small mountain, appeared out of thin air on the plaza of the Snow Maiden Palace.
That was no ordinary ice.
It was the Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice Marrow, radiating dense vital energy and Ultimate coldness!
Moreover, it was a mountain of it!
"Hiss—!"
This time, even the usually composed Snow Empress couldn't help but gasp.
"So much Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice Marrow!"
