214. Chapter 214: Ice Emperor Shapeshifts

"We're done for..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion covered its eyes, unable to bear watching.

Its ability could at most slightly reduce the power of the lightning tribulation by a tiny bit, helping out at a critical moment.

For example, if it had been by the Snow Emperor's side during her tribulation, the Snow Emperor's chances of success would definitely have exceeded ninety percent!

But the Ice Emperor was simply too weak; under this kind of lightning tribulation, it was almost a certain death outcome, regardless of whether it had its blessing or not, the result was actually the same...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this lightning tribulation is truly terrifying; the might of heaven and earth is not something an ordinary person can withstand~" Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Bai Zhou sighed inwardly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help the Ice Emperor, but he was powerless to do so.

Let alone him, even someone as strong as Di Tian wouldn't dare face this 400,000-year lightning tribulation head-on.

To resist this tribulation, perhaps only a deity who had mastered the power of rules could manage it.

"Crackle... crackle..."

The first wave of the lightning tribulation finally passed, leaving only a small amount of lightning that occasionally struck the Ice Emperor, causing no pain or itch.

However, the thunderclouds in the sky not only failed to dissipate but grew even thicker, clearly brewing an even more powerful attack.

And at this moment, in a massive ice pit in the distance.

The Ice Emperor's body was charred black, and her breathing had become somewhat weak.

"400,000-year lightning tribulation... truly powerful..." The Ice Emperor exhaled a turbid breath, looking up at the sky, her eyes filled with unwillingness...

Although she had long been prepared for failure, she still couldn't let go.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely resist to the death, until she was reduced to ashes.

But now, she could not die...

The Snow Emperor was still waiting for her rescue.

If she died, the Snow Emperor might also be completely persecuted by humans; this was something she absolutely would not allow!

"Never thought it would come to this in the end... relying on a human..." The Ice Emperor gave a bitter smile, then took out the ice crystal Bai Zhou had given her.

She swallowed it directly.

As the ice crystal went down, a massive amount of energy instantly flooded the Ice Emperor's entire body.

Because they were both ice-attribute wonders, after the Ice Emperor consumed the ice crystal, the injuries on her body instantly began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before the next wave of lightning tribulation arrived, the Ice Emperor might even recover to her peak state!

However, the Ice Emperor did not do so.

Because her 400,000-year tribulation theoretically had four waves in total.

She had struggled so much with the first wave; the subsequent ones were naturally certain death.

If the quantity of ice crystals were four or five times greater, she might have attempted to pass the tribulation.

But the ice crystal Bai Zhou gave her was only a tiny bit, only enough for her to barely compress her source power, completely insufficient to pass this lightning tribulation.

"What a pity..."

The Ice Emperor sighed inwardly, but she held no resentment toward Bai Zhou.

Because she knew that Bai Zhou being able to give her such a precious treasure for free was actually a great favor...

If not for this ice crystal, let alone rescuing the Snow Emperor, she herself would likely have completely perished in the lightning tribulation a few years later.

Thinking of this, the Ice Emperor no longer hesitated; with the help of the ice crystal's power, she began to forcibly seal her source power.

The shapeshifting of a soul beast is essentially sealing one's own source power, then transforming into a human, becoming an ordinary person.

As the soul master cultivates, they slowly release the source power later, converting it into soul rings and corresponding years.

The more source power, the higher the years of the converted soul rings.

Her source power was 400,000 years, so after she transformed into human form, the total years of all the soul rings she condensed could reach 400,000 years! Of course, if she hunted other soul beasts to obtain soul rings in the early stages, she could save source power and inject all of it into the final soul ring, achieving a 400,000-year super soul ring! The main reason soul beasts over 100,000 years, having experienced one tribulation, could no longer shapeshift into humans was that their source power was too powerful to be sealed.

Unless they relied on some special wonders of heaven and earth.

For example, the Snow Emperor's 100,000-year Snow Lotus.

The essence of the Ultimate Ice immortal herb she was currently relying on could help her seal her source and shapeshift into a human.

And as the Ice Emperor began to seal her source power.

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to lose their target and began to slowly dissipate.

After all, the target locked onto by this heavenly tribulation was the Ice Emperor's source power that exceeded the limit.

And as the Ice Emperor sealed her source power, the heavenly tribulation naturally lost its target and could no longer "punish" her.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, the Ice Emperor chose to shapeshift, otherwise she would have truly been done for..."

Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion breathed a sigh of relief; it was a close call.

It was actually somewhat afraid that the Ice Emperor wouldn't be reconciled and would use the ice crystal's power to resist the lightning tribulation.

If that were truly the case, the Ice Emperor might have passed the second wave of the lightning tribulation, but she definitely wouldn't have been able to pass the subsequent ones, and wouldn't even have had the chance to shapeshift and re-cultivate, becoming nothing but ashes.

Fortunately, the Ice Emperor still had her reason and ultimately chose to compromise.

"The Ice Emperor has shapeshifted; when are you going to shapeshift? Keep the Ice Emperor company~" Bai Zhou gently patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's butt and asked with a smile.

"The Ice Emperor did that out of necessity; I'm living just fine, why would I want to be so foolish as to shapeshift into a human!" Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion opened its mouth angrily and gnawed on the back of Bai Zhou's head.

Bai Zhou, that bad guy, was always trying to trick it into shapeshifting; he definitely didn't have good intentions!

It wouldn't fall for it!

"How nice it would be to keep the Ice Emperor company after shapeshifting, and who says you can't live long after shapeshifting? You can live forever if you enter the God Realm; it's better than being trapped in that tiny Star Dou Great Forest."

Bai Zhou continued to cajole.

"Pah! You think becoming a god is that easy? To reach that level, you need not only talent but also heaven-defying luck. In all these years, only those lucky guys from ten thousand years ago entered the God Realm together. In these ten thousand years, countless brilliant geniuses have appeared, but in the end, they all turned into dust."

"I admit your talent is strong, but without opportunity, no matter how strong you are, you cannot break this cage."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion snorted, seeming to see through everything, completely unmoved.

It admitted that Bai Zhou's talent was the strongest soul master it had ever known.

But so what if he was strong?

As long as he didn't get the recognition of the God Realm and didn't get the chance to inherit a god position, he could never become a god.

As for creating a god position...

That was even more impossible.

A million years ago, the Sea God gathered the faith power of the entire Douluo Star's trillions of sea creatures to forcibly break the limit, gain the recognition of the God Realm, and condense the Sea God position.

Since the Sea God, no one had been able to do this.

Someone as strong as Di Tian, with 800,000 years of cultivation and combat power reaching the peak of this world, still couldn't even touch the corner of the God Realm's clothing.

In ten thousand years, over a hundred Limit Douluos had been born among human soul masters, and those who could reach Limit Douluo were all peerless geniuses.

The final result was without exception: they all became fertilizer for the grass on their graves.

The reason it followed Bai Zhou wasn't because it valued Bai Zhou's talent, nor was it for a bite to eat (really), but purely because it found Bai Zhou an interesting person.

Of course, it was also because Bai Zhou didn't have strong malice toward soul beasts.

With Bai Zhou's talent, he would definitely become a Limit Douluo in the future and should be able to live for over two hundred years.

As for becoming a god, that was truly unlikely.
