Xiao Feng, are you confident?
Xu Jiujiu asked worriedly.
She wasn't trying to stop Tang Feng from going to the Extreme North to obtain the fierce beast's sacrifice.
She was concerned about whether Grandma Man Yi could keep him safe and return him unharmed to Xingluo City.
She thought they should have sent a few more Titled Douluos along to ensure "friendly negotiations."
If the other party agreed, fine. If not, they could gang up until the opponent complied.
"I have the Divine Realm. With Grandma Man Yi guiding me, there's no problem."
Tang Feng did not reveal the Snow Emperor.
Even among the direct disciples of the Xingguan Sect present, he didn't trust anyone.
He would explain everything to Xu Jiujiu after returning to the Princess Mansion.
"I'll go with Xiao Feng."
"Jiujiu, take extra precautions. Bring more guards and dead servitors when leaving."
The Star Cloud Douluo said.
Once she left, Xu Jiujiu would mostly only have Soul Saints for protection.
Unless Xu Jiujiu left Xingluo City for something dangerous, in which case stronger guards would be dispatched.
As for Tang Feng, with Man Yi accompanying him, it was the safest option.
Wang Xian'er lacked combat ability; she was inferior in travel and dealing with Soul Beasts.
The other Titled Douluos? Tang Feng didn't trust them, and Xu Jiujiu certainly wouldn't.
Douluos like Tian Sha Douluo or Ju Li Douluo were basically retainers of the Xingluo Royal Family, incomparable to Man Yi, a direct disciple of the Xingguan Sect.
"Return as soon as possible."
Xu Jiujiu nodded.
She had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest before because there were three Titled Douluos, and the distance was manageable.
The Extreme North was far too remote; her single Soul King would just be a burden.
"Don't worry, I've got this."
Tang Feng bid farewell to Xu Jiujiu.
He went with Man Yi to the Imperial Study, explained the situation to Xu Jiawei, and then departed.
Xu Jiawei fully supported this.
He even wanted to dispatch another Titled Douluo from the Xingguan Sect to accompany them, but Tang Feng refused.
Adding another Titled Douluo would not help against the Ice Emperor. Convincing the Ice Emperor depended on him and the Snow Emperor.
Two days later.
Tang Feng and Man Yi arrived, weary, at the outer regions of the Extreme North.
They pressed on without pause, entering the Extreme North directly.
"Snow Emperor, come out."
Tang Feng called the Snow Emperor from his Spirit Sea.
She startled even Star Cloud Douluo Man Yi.
After some explanation, Man Yi realized: the fierce beast that became Tang Feng's Martial Soul was the ruler of the Extreme North.
"Snow Emperor, should I speak with the Ice Emperor?"
Tang Feng stroked his chin.
He wanted to see how the Ice Emperor would react when threatened and test how far she could penetrate the Divine Realm.
"You'll talk to her?"
"Not: 'Ice Emperor, you don't want the Snow Emperor harmed, right?'"
The Snow Emperor cast a scrutinizing glance.
After offering herself in sacrifice to Tang Feng, she felt her mind subtly influenced by some force.
It was as if this threatening phrasing held infinite power, compelling her to comply.
"Ha, your tone's not bad,"
Tang Feng complimented.
He had indeed planned to coerce and persuade.
Although it sounded villainous, it was too effective.
"Once the Ice Emperor sacrifices to you, you should reach level 40. Any ideas for soul rings?"
After the Snow Emperor sacrificed, most of her divine essence was sealed by the Life Goddess, so the boost to Tang Feng was minor.
Currently, Tang Feng has just reached level 37.
If the Ice Emperor sacrificed to him, he would reach level 40 and gain over 300,000 years of soul bones.
"My Life Blue Silver Grass doesn't require specific beast attributes. For the fourth soul skill, functional types would be best."
Tang Feng's existing skills already covered attack, control, and healing, so a functional skill was ideal.
Defense? He had the Divine Realm, standing innately undefeated.
"I have an idea,"
"Select a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, it should meet your requirements."
The Snow Emperor knew where one could be found.
She had consumed a hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus to successfully achieve fierce beast transformation.
Perhaps the human Soul Masters had been targeting that very Snow Lotus.
Her misfortune had been swallowing it to become an embryo, only to be discovered by humans.
"Then we'll follow your guidance."
"The Extreme North is your home; we'll follow your arrangements."
Tang Feng was confident.
He couldn't kill the strong, but the strong couldn't kill him either—at most, they could try to exhaust him.
The Divine Realm was powerful; its only weakness was soul power consumption.
If he ran out of soul power, he would still be vulnerable.
"Ice Emperor!"
The Snow Emperor called plainly.
Moments later, a jade-green light appeared on the horizon, rapidly spreading.
The once pale sky suddenly shimmered like a jade gemstone.
"Snow Emperor, you're still alive!"
A crisp, excited voice echoed from all directions.
A terrifying sound wave lifted the snow three meters high, like crashing waves toward Tang Feng and his companions.
All the surrounding blizzards vanished as they approached the Snow Emperor.
"Ice'er, come down quickly."
The Snow Emperor spoke softly.
She had come to negotiate with the Ice Emperor, so they could discuss Tang Feng's godhood plan.
This little one wasn't just aiming for godhood; he sought supreme godhood, surpassing Divine Kings.
"Coming!"
A figure descended.
The Ice Emperor's delicate, charming face lacked some of the Snow Emperor's pride but had more cold elegance.
She had four jade-green magical markings on either side of her pale, beautiful face, and dark green hair flowing behind her.
She wore a jade-green gown, skin as pure as ice and snow, slightly translucent with green light flowing faintly.
"Snow Emperor, you brought two humans?"
The Ice Emperor ignored Tang Feng completely.
This little one was too weak; he wasn't worth her attention. Her companion, however, showed some strength.
"You are really ignoring me. Is that wise?"
Tang Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Even if small, he was still a person, and being ignored stung.
"You pose no threat whatsoever."
The Ice Emperor glanced at him.
If not for the Snow Emperor's face, she would have slapped this little one dead.
"Snow Emperor, speak with her, or I might have to escalate threats myself."
Tang Feng plopped down beside them.
Once the Ice Emperor sacrificed, he could make her work daily, helping him fuse divine powers.
In his Spirit Sea, he could watch the Snow Emperor while the Ice Emperor labored—just imagining it made him giddy.
"Ice'er, behave."
"He's a disciple of the Life Divine King."
The Snow Emperor hurriedly restrained the Ice Emperor.
Going forward, both would be deeply bound to Tang Feng, constantly encountering him.
With Tang Feng's mind-bending skills, the Ice Emperor would likely be driven to the brink of collapse.
"Disciple of a Divine King?"
The Ice Emperor was shocked.
She scrutinized Tang Feng with her beautiful eyes.
She couldn't see what was special about this little one, yet he was a Divine King's disciple.
Since Tang Feng was a disciple, it implied he could ascend to godhood.
Now, with the 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation approaching,
If all went as expected, this would be the Ice Emperor's final destiny.
