136: Chapter 136: The Snow Emperor's Three Wonders

Above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, tribulation clouds pressed down, and thunder felt like a prison.

Just a split second before the destructive lightning was about to pour down, suspended above the cold spring and wrapped in endless ice-blue divine light, the Snow Empress finally slowly opened eyes that had been tightly shut for who knows how long.

Her ice-blue pupils were now as translucent as if carved from ten-thousand-year mysterious ice.

Deep within them, countless ice crystals and snowflakes seemed to be rotating, coming into existence and vanishing, reflecting the ferocious lightning filling the sky, yet there was no trace of fear or hesitation, only the cold, firm, and innate absolute majesty that towered over all frost and snow, just like the extreme cold she controlled.

She gently exhaled a breath of turbid air; as it left her body, it instantly turned into ice crystals and scattered.

Feeling the surging power within her body that had briefly climbed to an unprecedented peak with the help of the cold spring's power, it was the extreme icy origin of her seven-hundred-thousand-year cultivation boiling and shouting!

She raised her head and looked toward the terrifying sea of thunder that seemed about to tear the firmament apart. On her stunningly beautiful face, there was no retreat; instead, she slowly raised the corner of her lips in a haughty and arrogant arc.

"Come!"

A clear shout, like ice and jade clashing, crisply pierced through the rolling thunder and echoed throughout this world locked down by the heavenly tribulation.

As if in response to her provocation, the churning sea of thunder suddenly paused.

Immediately, a terrifying bolt of lightning, as thick as a century-old tree, silver-white throughout but wreathed in threads of destructive purple light at its edges, descended like a spear of judgment thrown by a god-king from the nine heavens, carrying the momentum to pierce the void and annihilate all things, tearing through layers of thunderclouds as it struck fiercely toward the small white figure below!

The first tribulation lightning!

The Snow Empress did not dodge or evade; she simply raised her slender hand, white as jade and seemingly capable of freezing time and space with a gentle grasp, and with her five fingers slightly spread, she made a grasping motion from afar at the descending lightning.

"Condense."

There was no earth-shattering explosion of Soul Power, only an invisible and extremely profound fluctuation of laws spreading out with her palm as the center.

That terrifying silver-white lightning, sufficient to severely injure a peak Titled Douluo, suddenly slowed down when it was still a hundred zhang from her head, and a layer of crystal-clear ice-blue mysterious ice instantly covered the surface of the lightning!

The mysterious ice spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it completely froze the entire bolt of lightning from start to finish into a giant ice-sculpted thunder pillar that spanned the sky and radiated destructive cold!

"Shatter."

The Snow Empress parted her red lips again and gently clenched her jade hand.

"Crack—!"

The ice-sculpted thunder pillar exploded with a boom, turning into fine ice crystals and dissipating lightning light that fell down, vanishing completely before touching the ground.

The first tribulation lightning was easily resolved by her in such an understated yet domineering manner!

"Hiss—!"

On a distant hillside, Wang Donger couldn't help but gasp, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.

"Sister Snow Empress is so amazing!"

Lu Jing also nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

This was the foundation of a seven-hundred-thousand-year powerhouse; her mastery over the laws of ice had approached the realm of perfection.

However, how could the majesty of the heavenly tribulation be provoked so easily?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The first tribulation lightning was broken, as if it had angered the will of heaven and earth in the netherworld, and the sea of thunder instantly went berserk!

Tribulation lightning of various colors and different attributes no longer fell one by one, but like a torrential downpour, or like a dam bursting, turned into a waterfall of destructive lightning, pouring down from the nine heavens!

Silver-white, crimson, ghastly green, pitch black... tribulation lightning of all kinds of attributes wove into a net of destruction, completely enveloping the Snow Empress's figure!

The terrifying power caused space itself to begin to twist and crack, appearing with tiny black fissures!

The Snow Empress's figure was instantly submerged in the endless lightning.

One could only see that in the center of that destruction, brilliant ice-blue light kept exploding, freezing and shattering bolts of tribulation lightning, but more tribulation lightning surged forward in waves.

Ice crystals and lightning collided and annihilated each other crazily, emitting continuous, deafening explosions!

The escaping energy shockwaves, like a tangible tsunami, spread outward in circles, leveling the mountains around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, tearing the earth apart, and turning countless ancient trees into powder!

Lu Jing and Wang Donger had to retreat several hundred meters again, raising their Soul Power shields to resist the terrifying aftermath of the energy.

Both of their expressions became grave.

The power of this heavenly tribulation was even more terrifying than they had anticipated!

Although the Snow Empress was strong, how long could she hold out under this seemingly endless bombardment of tribulation lightning?

The tribulation lightning seemed endless, each wave fiercer than the last.

The Snow Empress's figure floated in the sea of thunder like a small boat in a raging storm, occasionally bursting with brilliant ice-blue light to freeze large swathes of lightning, and at other times being swallowed by the lightning, her aura fluctuating.

Her white dress had already become damaged under the tearing of the violent energy, revealing patches of skin as fair as frost and snow, but the light in her icy eyes never dimmed.

Time flowed away bit by bit amidst the roar of destruction.

I do not know how long had passed, but the sea of thunder in the sky began to turn a deeper color, faintly revealing a heart-palpitating dark gold.

The churning lightning also gradually gathered, no longer attacking in a scattered manner, but began to condense into terrifying thunder pillars that were thicker, more solid, and radiated an aura that made Titled Douluos like Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen, who were watching from afar, feel heart palpitations!

When the seventh dark golden giant thunder pillar, seemingly condensed from liquid lightning, crashed down with a supreme will to pierce through reincarnation and destroy all laws, the Snow Empress, who had been resisting the heavenly tribulation with exquisite footwork and extreme cold power, finally, for the first time, took the initiative to display the three ultimates that made her famous in the Far North!

"Emperor's Cold Heaven · Snow Dance Radiating Sun!"

Her cold and clear voice, carrying a certain strange rhythm, echoed throughout the world.

In an instant, with the Snow Empress as the center, an absolute zero Domain, even purer and more domineering than the cold spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, erupted!

The temperature in the sky plummeted to an inconceivable degree, and even the roaring thunder seemed to slow down for a split second!

Countless ice crystals and snowflakes, harder than steel and sharper than blades, emerged from thin air and spun crazily, forming a massive ice and snow tornado connecting heaven and earth, fiercely meeting the dark golden thunder pillar!

Ice, snow, and thunder crazily strangled and annihilated each other; in the end, the thunder pillar was cut and worn down by countless snowflakes, its power greatly reduced.

The remaining lightning struck the Snow Empress, but was resisted by a layer of ice crystal armor that appeared on her body; her beautiful body only swayed slightly, and a trace of red blood spilled from the corner of her lips.

The eighth tribulation lightning was blood-red, carrying a thick aura of slaughter and destruction, as if it wanted to extinguish all life.

"Emperor's Palm · Great Cold Without Snow!"

The Snow Empress struck out with a palm; the palm wind was silent, yet it carried an extreme cold that could freeze the soul and ice over time.

The moment the blood-colored thunder pillar touched the palm wind, the destructive blood light on its surface dimmed and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally turning into a blood-colored ice prism, which was then shattered by the subsequent palm force into blood-red ice powder filling the sky.

The ninth tribulation lightning was as black as ink, only as thick as an arm, yet it radiated a pure intent of nirvana and ending that even made Lu Jing feel a trace of danger.

It fell silently, and wherever it passed, even space was swallowed into a void.

"Emperor's Sword · Ice Extreme Unrivaled!"

The Snow Empress pressed her fingers together like a sword, and at her fingertips condensed a sword beam of ice-blue, no more than three feet long, yet so crystal clear that it seemed not to exist in this dimension. She pointed her sword at the pitch-black tribulation lightning.
