Chapter 51: Ice Empress Scorpion, Under the Heavenly Tribulation, Either Death or Crippling

Seeing that Zhexian's attitude was firm, Tianmeng Bingcan felt a bit uneasy, but still braced itself and said, "Big Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that... Bingdi and Xuedi have rather bad tempers. If I were to anger them, I wouldn't be able to save this little life of mine!"

Zhexian smiled faintly: "Don't worry, with me here, they cannot hurt you."

Seeing Zhexian so confident, Tianmeng Bingcan looked him over with great suspicion.

However, when its gaze landed on the Scepter Mark flickering with purple light on Zhexian's forehead, its eyes widened instantly, and a monstrous storm surged in its heart.

"Godly Assessment! This human actually has the potential to become a Deity!" Tianmeng Bingcan was ecstatic, as if it saw a future of soaring success after latching onto this powerful backer.

It immediately put on an extremely fawning expression, wiggled its body over to Zhexian's side, and said with incomparable respect and flattery: "Oh my, Big Brother! No, Great Deity! You should have said earlier that you were undergoing a Godly Assessment! I, Tianmengge, admire geniuses like you the most! Don't worry, the whereabouts of Bingdi and Xuenv are on me! I will take you to find them right now!"

Zhexian glanced at Tianmeng Bingcan indifferently, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly: "Oh? Didn't you just say they have bad tempers and that you were afraid of angering them?"

Tianmeng Bingcan waved its hands hurriedly and said with a righteous face: "That was all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! For an existence like you, Great Deity, wouldn't Bingdi and Xuenv greet you respectfully upon seeing you? Besides, with me here, how would they dare to be disrespectful to you!"

Zhexian chuckled, said nothing more, and simply nodded: "Lead the way."

Seeing this, Tianmeng Bingcan was overjoyed and hurriedly wiggled its plump body, crawling toward the depths of the Ice Glacier. While crawling, it didn't forget to look back and say to Zhexian: "Great Deity, follow me closely. The terrain in this Extreme North is complex, and one could get lost if not careful. But with me here, don't worry, it will be absolutely fine!"

Zhexian followed behind it, his expression calm, his eyes carrying a trace of faint interest.

The two traveled all the way, passing through layers of Ice Glacier and crossing countless snow-capped mountains.

Tianmeng Bingcan talked incessantly about various strange tales of the Extreme North while leading the way, as if it were afraid that Zhexian would lose interest in it.

"Great Deity, did you know? There are quite a few treasures in this Extreme North! For example, that Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, it is an excellent material for cultivating ice-attribute soul power! Unfortunately... I ate it all." Tianmeng Bingcan scratched its head in some embarrassment as it said this.

Zhexian smiled faintly and did not respond.

Just then, Tianmeng Bingcan suddenly stopped and its expression became serious. It pointed to a huge ice mountain in front and said in a low voice: "Great Deity, ahead is Bingdi's territory. It usually lives in an ice cave under that ice mountain. However... its temper is indeed not very good; you must be careful later."

Zhexian nodded, his gaze falling on that ice mountain, a faint trace of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Tianmeng Bingcan felt a bit uneasy, but still braced itself and led Zhexian forward.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the ice mountain. Tianmeng Bingcan took a deep breath, gathered its courage, and shouted toward the ice cave: "Bingdi! Bingdi! Come out quickly! A Great Deity wants to see you!"

Its voice echoed in the ice cave, and a moment later, a low rumbling sound came from within, as if some behemoth were waking up.

"Tianmeng Bingcan, you dare to bring a human to my territory? Are you seeking death?" A cold and majestic voice came from the ice cave, and immediately after, a huge Ice Empress Scorpion crawled slowly out of the cave.

Its body looked as if it were carved from the purest ice crystal, emitting a cold, frigid light. Its two huge pincers flickered with sharp, icy gleams, and the venomous stinger on its tail was even more chilling.

Seeing this, Tianmeng Bingcan was so scared that it shrank its neck and hurriedly hid behind Zhexian, whispering: "Great Deity, Bingdi is out, be careful!"

Zhexian's expression was calm; he met Bingdi's gaze and said indifferently: "Ice Empress Scorpion, I have not come to be your enemy, I only wish to make use of your Heavenly Tribulation."

Hearing this, Bingdi's eyes flashed with disdain: "Make use of my Heavenly Tribulation? How ridiculous!"

"Human, just by yourself? Even for a fierce beast, under the Heavenly Tribulation, one either dies or is crippled."

Zhexian smiled slightly and waved his hand. A powerful aura erupted instantly, and the surrounding ice layer shattered into powder under this aura, while a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

Feeling this aura, Bingdi's eyes flashed with shock, but it quickly regained its composure: "Interesting, but human, you still have to pay the price for trespassing into my territory!"

Zhexian smiled faintly: "Then let's try."

Before the words had faded, his figure vanished from the spot, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Bingdi, striking out with a palm.

Seeing this, Bingdi's eyes flashed with anger, and its huge pincers swung out violently, colliding with Zhexian's palm.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Bingdi's body was shaken back several steps, its eyes filled with shock. It had not expected that the human before it would possess such powerful strength!

Zhexian hovered in mid-air, his expression still calm, with the Heaven Horned Ant rune condensing behind him.

Bingdi took a deep breath, a trace of solemnity flashing in its eyes.

Hiding to the side, Tianmeng Bingcan poked its head out and shouted.

"Little Bingbing, don't fight, listen to him... uh."

Before it could finish, Bingdi smashed an ice spike toward Tianmengge's position, scaring it into hiding even further away.

"Human, it seems I underestimated you."

Having said that, its body suddenly erupted with dazzling ice-blue light, the surrounding temperature plummeted instantly, and bone-chilling cold filled the air.

Seeing this, Zhexian's eyes flashed with interest: "This is a bit more interesting."

The battle between the two was on the verge of breaking out, while Tianmeng Bingcan hid in the distance, feeling both nervous and excited.

It was afraid that the Great Deity might accidentally kill Bingbing, yet it also felt that the backer it had latched onto was so awesome.

"Great Deity, come on!" Tianmeng Bingcan prayed silently in its heart.

At the same time, in another part of the Extreme North, a white figure was standing quietly on the peak of a snow mountain, her gaze piercing through layers of clouds and mist, landing on the battle in the distance.

"Bingdi has actually been forced to this point... this human is not simple." Xuenv whispered to herself, a trace of complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She flicked her sleeve gently, and her figure vanished from the spot, flying toward the direction of the battle.

The cold wind of the Extreme North whistled, and the battle between Bingdi and Zhexian had entered a white-hot stage.

Bingdi's ice-blue ice spikes and Zhexian's pink petals collided in the air, erupting with dazzling light, and the entire Ice Glacier trembled under their power.

Watching from afar, Tianmengge shivered...
