381: Eastern Wilderness

"Senior, what are your instructions?" Xue Liuli asked respectfully.

Xu Duoduo looked at the woman in front of him, somewhat speechless; he had heard her earlier mumbling.

"Let me ask you, do you have a general understanding of the power distribution in this world?" Xu Duoduo asked, not exposing Xue Liuli's thoughts.

Xue Liuli breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Senior, this world is the Eastern Wasteland Realm, which was created many years ago..."

As Xue Liuli introduced, Xu Duoduo gained a general understanding of this world.

This world, named Eastern Wasteland Realm, was a Major Thousand Worlds jointly created by over a hundred Immortal Grade existences many years ago. Its area is vast and boundless, divided into nine great divine regions. Each divine region is immensely vast, comparable to a Heavenly Realm, and nurtures countless beings and civilizations.

These nine great divine regions are: Sky Dome Divine Region, Houtu Divine Region, Netherworld Divine Region, Blazing Sun Divine Region, Profound Ice Divine Region, Thunder Divine Region, Azure Wood Divine Region, Geng Metal Divine Region, and Barren Sea Divine Region.

These nine great divine regions possess nine supreme powerful races: the Sky Race, Earth Race, Nether Race, Blazing Race, Ice Race, Thunder Race, Wood Race, Metal Race, and Sea Race. All nine supreme powerful races have Immortal Grade existences.

Below the nine supreme powerful races are the Hundred Clans of the Eastern Wasteland. They once had Immortals, and even if those Immortals fell, the foundation left behind by the Immortals still exists. Therefore, they are either independent or affiliated with the supreme powerful races.

The location where Xu Duoduo was is the Profound Ice Divine Region, situated north of the continent, perpetually frozen. For other races, survival here is extremely difficult.

But for ice and snow elemental beings, this place is paradise.

The woman before him, named Xue Liuli, is the daughter of the Clan Chief of the Snow Clan, one of the Hundred Clans of the Eastern Wasteland, and this is the territory of the Snow Clan.

The Snow Clan has resided in Snow Shadow City for generations, ruling the Cold Snow Divine Province, a divine province comparable to a Dao Province in the Upper Realm.

They once produced an Immortal existence, but he died in the war during the Darkness Upheaval. However, relying on the foundation left by that Immortal, the Snow Clan has always remained independent in the Eastern Wasteland Realm, and even the Ice Clan is unwilling to engage in large-scale conflicts with them.

Of course, this is also because the Snow Clan joined the Hundred Clans Alliance, which is composed of various Hundred Clans races unwilling to be affiliated with the supreme powerful races.

This force, possessing many Immortal-left foundations, despite having no Immortals, became the tenth largest force in the Eastern Wasteland Realm.

With the Snow Clan's power, they could entirely rule over a hundred divine provinces. However, the Snow Clan is very low-key and generally does not participate in external disputes. Additionally, their Immortal once participated in the construction of the Eastern Wasteland Realm and possessed the Luck protection of the Eastern Wasteland Realm, so they were not overly suppressed by the Ice Clan.

Outsiders entering the divine mountain are generally teleported to the peripheral areas. Xu Duoduo being teleported here might be related to that spatial turbulence.

On this trip, Xu Duoduo intended to investigate the great war of the Extinction Era. Since the Snow Clan once participated in the construction of the Eastern Wasteland Realm, they were clearly among the first beings to arrive here, and their clan might have records concerning the Extinction Era.

Xu Duoduo asked, "I wish to visit your Clan Chief. I wonder if you, young lady, could introduce me?"

Although he phrased it as a question, his words carried an undeniable tone.

Xue Liuli felt dissatisfaction in her heart but dared not show it.

"Bastard, who are you? Release our clan's princess at once!"

A furious shout came from the sky. In the distance, several streaks of light sped over. The leader was a white-haired old man, his body exuding the powerful aura of the Dao Master Early Stage.

He raised his hand and waved, and a giant palm condensed from ice and snow, carrying a biting chill, fiercely grabbed towards Xu Duoduo.

Xu Duoduo frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

He said nothing more, merely flicked his sleeve, and a surging Dao power instantly erupted, transforming into an invisible Qi wave that directly shattered the large ice and snow palm.

"Boom—"

The large ice and snow palm disintegrated in the air, turning into countless ice crystals that scattered down. The old man's Face changed at the sight, clearly not expecting Xu Duoduo to break his Divine Ability so easily.

"Your Excellency, who exactly are you? Why are you disrespectful to our clan's princess?"

The old man stabilized his figure, his gaze fixed on Xu Duoduo with solemnity, his tone carrying a hint of apprehension.

Xu Duoduo glanced at him indifferently, his tone calm: "This Seat harbors no ill will; I merely have some matters to inquire about with your Clan Chief. As for your princess, she acted rashly just now, and this Seat merely administered a slight punishment."

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned deeply, turning his gaze to Xue Liuli.

Xue Liuli quickly nodded and whispered, "Elder, this Senior truly has no ill will; I misunderstood him."

The old man's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, but he still watched Xu Duoduo warily: "Even so, Your Excellency should not be so rude. Although our Snow Clan dislikes conflict, we are certainly not to be bullied!"

Xu Duoduo sneered, a hint of disdain in his tone: "Rude? If this Seat hadn't held back, your princess would already be a corpse. As for you... if you're not convinced, you can certainly try your hand."

The old man's Face darkened upon hearing this, a flicker of anger in his eyes.

As a Snow Clan Elder, his cultivation had reached the Dao Master Early Stage. When had he ever been so lightly regarded by anyone? He snorted coldly, and ice and snow Dao power surged around him, transforming into countless ice blades that swept towards Xu Duoduo.

"Frozen for ten thousand miles!"

The old man roared. Wherever the ice blades passed, even the air was frozen, as if to completely seal Xu Duoduo in ice.

Seeing this, Xu Duoduo's eyes flashed with a cold light. He did not dodge, but merely raised his hand and waved, and a brilliant pillar of Dao power shot into the sky, directly shattering the sky full of ice blades.

"Boom—"

The ice blades shattered, turning into countless ice crystals that scattered to the ground.

The old man's Face changed drastically at the sight, and he quickly activated all his Dao power, attempting to resist Xu Duoduo's attack. However, Xu Duoduo's speed was even faster; his figure flashed, and he had already appeared before the old man.

Xu Duoduo wasted no words, unleashing a punch. The punch wind was like a Dragon, carrying supreme pressure, and went straight for the old man's chest.

The old man hastily defended but was sent reeling backward by the punch, his Qi and blood churning within him, almost spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He did not stop. His figure was like lightning, instantly appearing behind the old man, and he struck out with a palm. The palm wind was like a knife, aimed directly at the old man's back.

The old man barely managed to turn, crossing his hands in front of his chest, but he was sent flying backward by the palm strike, falling heavily to the ground.

Xu Duoduo's figure flickered again, and he stepped out, as if to completely suppress the old man.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes flashed with despair, knowing he was powerless to resist.

However, at this moment, Xue Liuli rushed forward, blocking in front of the old man, and urgently said: "Senior, please show mercy! The Elder was merely impulsive; please spare his life!"

Seeing this, Xu Duoduo snorted coldly and withdrew his attack.

He gave the old man a cold look and said indifferently: "If not for your princess's Face, you would surely die today."

The old man's Face was pale, his heart filled with both shock and fear. He had not expected that his cultivation, a dignified Dao Master Early Stage, would not even last three moves in front of this man.

Seeing this, Xue Liuli quickly stepped forward to help the old man up and whispered: "Elder, this Senior has no ill will; he merely has some matters to inquire about with father. Let's return to Snow Shadow City first."

The old man nodded, not daring to say more. Xu Duoduo's strength had completely subdued him.

The group no longer delayed, boarded the carriage pulled by the Profound Ice Divine Bird, and sped towards Snow Shadow City.
