Chapter 264: The Two Emperors of Ice and Snow (Part 1)

Let's do it.

Shi Quan released his Spirit Soul martial soul, and the sixth Soul Ring beneath him quietly lit up.

The bright golden Soul Ring slowly descended onto Tian Meng, emitting a lustrous glow and rhythmically pulsing around him.

Tian Meng's eyes suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light.

In the core area of the Extreme North, which spans over ten thousand square kilometers, the light suddenly dimmed, as if transitioning instantly from day to night. An invisible majesty expanded in an instant; an extremely terrifying Mental Power was transferred from Shi Quan's body into Tian Meng's, and then bloomed outward with Tian Meng's body as the center.

In the gloomy sky, bursts of muffled thunder began to rumble, and Tian Meng's body had by now turned bright gold.

Tian Meng's body drifted up from Shi Quan's shoulder. The next second, a powerful will spread out from within Tian Meng's body: "Bingdi, I know you have sensed my presence. I, Tian Meng, have returned for revenge. Do you dare to meet me?"

"Is this reliable?" As time ticked by, seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Shi Quan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Tian Meng.

"Soon, soon." Tian Meng awkwardly wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Tian Meng, you are courting death." From the distance came Bingdi's crisp voice, filled with murderous intent. The emerald sky also turned ink-green in this instant, and thick murderous intent descended from the sky.

Shi Quan chuckled, "Bingdi, we shall know once we meet."

Shi Quan directly raised his hand and pinched his mouth shut, "If you want to be mushy, do it later; I don't want to hear it right now."

Finally!

"Junior Shi Quan, fortunate enough to be the Child of Heaven's Luck, has come specifically to pay a visit." Shi Quan's voice came through, neither humble nor pushy.

"Bingdi, you haven't died yet, so why can't I be alive? Do you still remember what I said back then? If I don't die, one day, I will become your partner." The voice of the Tian Meng Iceworm suddenly became very gentle, even sounding a bit sweet and cloying.

"It's here, it's here!" Tian Meng laughed heartily and immediately held his head high and chest out, "Boss, Bingdi is here."

"Shi Quan? A human?" Bingdi's cold voice sounded again, "Human, I have never sensed the aura of Heaven's Luck on you. Daring to deceive me in the Extreme North, you are courting death!"

"Interesting!" Bingdi's voice grew louder.

"Bingdi, Tian Meng is just running his mouth, no offense intended." Shi Quan waved his hand, and the cold, biting murderous aura in the surroundings immediately vanished by more than half.

The pitch-black sky turned emerald green in an instant—a transparent and alluring emerald. That moving luster was as if the high-and-mighty sky had suddenly turned into a giant emerald gemstone.

A scorpion, beautiful to the extreme, appeared before the three of them.

It was like fine jade, and also like a brilliant gemstone; even a word like 'beautiful' seemed pale and powerless when applied to it.

A streak of emerald light cut a horizontal line across the sky; it was almost just a flash of green.

'Scorpion' and 'beauty' were clearly two completely unrelated words, yet at this moment, they were vividly embodied in Bingdi.

The one-and-a-half-meter-long Bingdi had two colors on her body: one was the color of ice, and the other was emerald green.

The originally pitch-black dark clouds suddenly fluctuated violently, and a layer of emerald-green light instantly spread over from the distant northern horizon.

"Who!?" Bingdi's voice became sharp, and the emerald mist in the sky churned continuously, turning into an ink-green color.

Her gaze was fixed intently on the northern horizon.

"Tian Meng, you are actually still alive. Truly worthy of being the longest-living fellow in our Extreme North." The crisp voice rang out from all directions. The appearance of this voice was accompanied by a terrifying sound wave; the snow on the ground rose nearly three meters high in an instant, as if it were suddenly stirred-up spray.

Every part of her body was like exquisitely carved jade, emitting a heart-stirring beauty.

Seeing her, Tian Meng's eyes unconsciously revealed a look of infatuation, his gaze burning as he stared at Bingdi, "You've come."

Bingdi seemed very surprised to see Tian Meng's Soul Spirit body, which was entirely bright gold yet did not seem like a physical entity. A strange look flashed in her crystal-yellow eyes. At this moment, she could not be bothered to pay attention to Bingdi; most of her attention remained on Gu Yuena.

When she arrived, she had not sensed Gu Yuena's aura; it was only when she was close that she noticed Gu Yuena's existence.

Unfathomable.

This was her first impression of Gu Yuena.

This was also the reason why she did not strike immediately.

"Tian Meng, I didn't expect you to collude with humans." After Bingdi's cold gaze swept lightly over Tian Meng, it landed slowly on Shi Quan, "Human, do you know what price you will pay for deceiving me?"

"Bingdi, I am indeed the Child of Heaven's Luck; Gu Yuena can vouch for me." Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena did not speak, but a faint silver light radiated from her body, and a vague aura permeated the air.

Bingdi seemed to have sensed something; her expression changed abruptly, becoming exceptionally grave, "Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with Di Tian?"

"Even Di Tian must address me as Master." A supreme, overbearing intent erupted from Gu Yuena's calm, unruffled eyes.

"He is indeed the Child of Heaven's Luck. Coming here this time, there is an important matter to discuss with you two, the Bingxue Erdi." With a wave of her hand, a silver light curtain shrouded the heavens and earth, isolating all things, and the aura of the Child of Heaven's Luck on Shi Quan was released along with it.

"It is actually true; you are actually able to hide the aura of the Child of Heaven's Luck?" Bingdi's pupils contracted violently, her eyes filled with shock and horror.

Soon, Bingdi's expression returned to gravity, "Quickly restrain your aura, to prevent being discovered by those from the God Realm."

Gu Yuena raised her hand and clenched it, and the aura around Shi Quan dissipated once again.

"I have heard of your origins from my sister." The look in Bingdi's eyes as she looked at Shi Quan and Gu Yuena also held a bit more respect, "I have been offensive before, please forgive me."

Shi Quan asked, "Bingdi, can you take us to see Xuedi?"

"No problem. Follow me." Bingdi nodded, and an emerald-green aura shrouded the surroundings, isolating the biting cold wind and ice and snow, and she led the group toward the core circle of the Extreme North.

Tian Meng's cheeky voice also rang out at this time, "Bingdi, you were shocked by Boss's identity, right!"

Bingdi turned her head back coldly and said, "What is going on with you?"

Tian Meng said excitedly, "I am now in the form of a Soul Spirit, and my power has transformed into Boss's power."

"You became the Soul Ring of the Master?" Bingdi was stunned, looking at Shi Quan in surprise.

"That's right!"

Bingdi said with some surprise, "I feel that the Master's strength is not very strong; Master, you are actually able to withstand such vast energy from Tian Meng?"

Shi Quan smiled and said, "Tian Meng's physical body was captured and absorbed by Di Tian and the others. I only absorbed his Mental Power, but I didn't absorb it completely; there is still a portion stored in my sea of consciousness."

"It is his honor to be able to become the Master's Soul Ring, but this state of Tian Meng's does not seem to be purely a Spirit Origin?" Bingdi nodded, curiously examining Tian Meng.

Tian Meng hurriedly said, "Of course, because Boss has already helped me become a Soul Spirit."

"Soul Spirit? What is a Soul Spirit?" Bingdi looked puzzled.

Shi Quan smiled and said, "After we see Xuedi, I will explain it to you together."

Bingdi nodded, did not ask any further questions, and continued to lead the three of them toward the depths of the Extreme North.

The closer they drew to the core area of the Extreme North, the lower the temperature became.

However, there was no need for Shi Quan and his group to take action, as Bingdi had already isolated all the extreme cold from their surroundings.

After truly entering the core area of the Extreme North, there was no more snow, only wind—gale winds cold to the extreme.

It was freezing cold, as if the entire world had been transformed by this endless white extreme ice.

They continued forward.

"Up ahead is my sister's palace."

Bingdi pointed ahead; faint white snow drifted in the distant sky, standing out conspicuously within the entire world of ice.

Through layers of white snow, one could see a pale blue palace made of extreme ice, resembling crystal.

There were no overly ornate decorations around the palace; the entire structure seemed as if it had been meticulously carved from a single piece of extreme ice, without the slightest gap, its surface covered in various exquisite carvings that were exceptionally eye-catching.

As Bingdi approached, the palace gates slowly opened, and a snow-white figure walked out from within.

The figure had the appearance of a human, with long, snow-white hair cascading down to her feet behind her, and sky-blue eyes that were ethereal and clear, as if they could see through everything in the world. Her slender, delicate body was flawless, and though her white dress lacked any decoration, it made her appear so noble and stunning. She was meticulous, like a winter plum blossom in the snow, outstanding and peerless, defying the frost.

"Bingbing, who are they?" Xuedi's cold voice arrived, and the falling snow in the sky seemed to freeze, all coming to a halt in mid-air.

"Sister, let's go inside and talk," Bingdi said directly.

Xuedi said indifferently, "Bingbing, you know my palace does not welcome humans."

Bingdi did not feel embarrassed and explained, "My sister has a cold temperament; you all wait a moment."

With a stride, Bingdi quickly arrived at Xuedi's side and began to explain in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Xuedi looked toward Shi Quan and Gu Yuena with a gaze that held a hint of scrutiny.

"My Lord, let me come out; I have met Xuedi once before," Wanyao Wang's voice sounded in Shi Quan's mind.

Shi Quan nodded, and a jade-green radiance flew out from between Shi Quan's brows; Wanyao Wang's figure appeared beside Shi Quan, "Xuedi, long time no see."

"You are Wanyao Wang?" A hint of change finally appeared in Xuedi's cold expression.

"That is correct," Wanyao Wang nodded, "Shi Quan is indeed the Child of Heaven's Luck, but his aura as the Child of Heaven's Luck has been sealed by the Lord, which is why it cannot be detected by the outside world. You should be aware that we cannot let the God Realm discover the existence of the Child of Heaven's Luck..."
