Chapter 50: Million Year Soul Beast of the Extreme North, Tianmeng Bingcan
"Do you know if any Fierce Beasts are about to undergo their Heavenly Tribulation recently?"
The God of Destruction raised his hand and waved it; a purple-black light condensed in the air into a map, with the location of the Extreme North marked upon it. He pointed at the map and said, "There are two Fierce Beasts in the Extreme North about to undergo their Heavenly Tribulation. One is the 'Ice Jade Empress Scorpion', and the other is the 'Ice Sky Snow Maiden'. Both are overlords of the Extreme North, and their strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Title Douluo."
Zhexian's gaze fell upon the map, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly: "Since that is the case, then my second trial shall be to head to the Extreme North."
The God of Destruction nodded in appreciation, then issued the content of the trial.
【Destruction Nine Trials, Second Trial: Head to the Extreme North, kill Bingdi and Xuedi. Time limit: three years. Reward: Scepter of Destruction.】
【Life Nine Trials, Second Trial: Complete the Destruction Nine Trials' second trial. Time limit: three years. Reward: Ancient Tree of Life.】
Zhexian frowned slightly, looking calmly at the God of Destruction.
"Fellow Daoist, when did I say I wanted to kill these two Fierce Beasts?"
The God of Destruction was stunned upon hearing this; not kill the Fierce Beasts...
Did he mean the content of the second trial was merely to reach the Extreme North and find the Heavenly Tribulation?
Forget it, forget it.
I will just listen to this kid.
Subsequently, the voice in Zhexian's mind sounded once more.
【Destruction Nine Trials, Second Trial: Head to the Extreme North to find the Heavenly Tribulation. Time limit: three years. Reward: Scepter of Destruction!】
【Life Nine Trials, Second Trial: Complete the Destruction second trial. Time limit: three years. Reward: Ancient Tree of Life!】
Zhexian then cupped his hands slightly to express his thanks.
The God of Destruction let out a deep sigh of relief, then departed from the Douluo Continent.
Zhexian watched the God of Destruction leave, then turned to look toward the north. His gaze pierced through layers of clouds and mist, as if he had already seen that land of ice and snow, the Extreme North.
"Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, Ice Sky Snow Maiden... Heavenly Tribulation..." Zhexian whispered to himself, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand and waved it; the purple-green scroll behind him slowly retracted, turning into a streak of light that submerged into his body. Then, his figure flashed, transforming into a pink streak of light, heading straight for the Extreme North.
The Extreme North, ten thousand miles of ice, the cold wind biting.
Zhexian's figure appeared above an Ice Glacier, beneath his feet was a thick layer of ice, and all around were endless snow-capped mountains. The air was filled with a bone-chilling cold; ordinary people could not survive here at all.
However, Zhexian seemed as if he could not feel the cold; pink petals swirled around his body, carrying a cold Immortal Qi that kept the chill at bay.
Zhexian stood upon the Ice Glacier, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings, sensing the extreme cold contained within this land of ice and snow.
His divine sense slowly unfolded, spreading outward like invisible ripples, searching for the auras of the two Fierce Beasts about to undergo their Heavenly Tribulation—the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the Ice Sky Snow Maiden.
A moment later, his gaze locked onto a ground cave deep within the glacier. From there, a powerful ice-attribute soul power fluctuation was faintly emanating, as if something were brewing.
"Is it there?"
Then Zhexian's figure flashed, instantly appearing at the entrance of that ground cave.
Inside the cave, a plump ice silkworm was curled up within the ice layer, its body emitting a faint ice-blue light. Its body was crystal clear, as if carved from the purest ice crystal, appearing extremely beautiful.
However, this ice silkworm's aura was not powerful, yet the energy within its body was vast.
Zhexian frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart: "Is this the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion? Or the Ice Sky Snow Maiden? Why does it look like an ordinary ice silkworm?"
Just then, the ice silkworm seemed to have sensed Zhexian's presence and slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes were like two blue sapphires, flickering with the light of wisdom.
The ice silkworm slowly raised its head, a hint of craftiness flashing in its eyes, and then it spoke with feigned majesty: "Human, do you know who I am? I am the first Million Year Soul Beast of the Douluo Continent—Tianmeng Bingcan! My power is enough to shake the heavens and the earth. If you are sensible, retreat quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As its words fell, a powerful momentum erupted from its body, as if it truly possessed the pressure of a Million Year Soul Beast.
The surrounding ice layer vibrated slightly under this momentum, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.
Zhexian stood where he was, his expression calm, though his eyes held a hint of amusement. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he chuckled: "Oh? A Million Year Soul Beast? That is quite interesting."
Seeing that Zhexian was not frightened by its momentum, Tianmeng Bingcan felt somewhat uneasy, but still bit the bullet and continued: "Human, do not lead yourself astray! The strength of me, Tianmengge, is not something you can imagine! If you do not retreat now, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhexian chuckled, slowly raised his hand, and tapped his fingertip lightly.
"Crack!"
With a soft sound, the illusion created by Tianmeng Bingcan shattered instantly, and that powerful momentum dissipated without a trace.
Tianmeng Bingcan was stunned, a hint of panic flashing in its eyes, and then it switched to a fawning expression, its tone becoming extremely ingratiating: "Oh my, this big brother, it was all a misunderstanding just now! I, Tianmengge, love making friends the most, especially with powerful existences like you! Look, I still have some Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow in this cave, why don't we sit down and have a chat?"
Then Tianmeng Bingcan pointed behind itself.
Only to discover that the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow behind it had long since been eaten by itself...
Seeing Zhexian's gaze fall upon it, Tianmeng Bingcan felt a sudden tightness in its heart and hurriedly laughed sheepishly: "Big brother, don't misunderstand! I was just joking with you just now to liven up the atmosphere! You are a magnanimous person, don't hold it against me!"
Zhexian smiled faintly, his tone carrying a hint of amusement: "The energy within your body is quite substantial; although your strength is nothing to speak of, you are quite special."
Hearing this, a hint of pride flashed in Tianmeng Bingcan's eyes, but it quickly restrained it and said with feigned humility: "Big brother, you flatter me! Although I, Tianmengge, am not strong, I am still a Soul Beast that has lived for a million years, so I do have some knowledge! If you need any help, just give the order!"
Zhexian's gaze was calm as he spoke lightly: "I have come to the Extreme North to find two Fierce Beasts—the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the Ice Sky Snow Maiden. Do you know their whereabouts?"
Upon hearing the names "Ice Jade Empress Scorpion" and "Ice Sky Snow Maiden", Tianmeng Bingcan's expression changed instantly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in its eyes.
It looked at Zhexian cautiously and asked tentatively: "Big brother, why are you looking for them...?"
Zhexian smiled faintly: "I need to borrow their Heavenly Tribulation."
Hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan felt a sudden sense of relief, but then hesitated. Its eyes rolled, and it said with feigned mystery: "Big brother, finding Bingdi and Xuedi is not easy! They are the overlords of the Extreme North, and their strength is extremely powerful! Moreover, they are arrogant by nature, do not see outsiders easily, and are extremely hateful toward humans."
Zhexian's gaze was calm, his tone carrying an unquestionable quality: "You only need to tell me their whereabouts; you don't need to worry about the rest."
Seeing Zhexian's determined attitude, Tianmeng Bingcan felt somewhat anxious, but still bit the bullet and said: "Big brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that... Bingdi and Xuedi have bad tempers. If you happen to anger them, I won't be able to save this little life of mine!"
