[Spirit Beast domain ranking list, Eighteenth Place: Ice Bear Domain]
[Owner: Ice Bear King (Xiao Bai)]
[Affiliation: Extreme North Core Area]
[Domain Effect: The physical manifestation of the Extreme North's severe winter. Once the Domain is deployed, the temperature within the range instantly drops to absolute zero, and the ground solidifies into a thousand-meter-thick layer of permafrost! Enemy movement speed is forcibly reduced by fifty percent, and spirit power circulation speed is forcibly slowed by thirty percent!]
[Advanced Ability: Within the Domain, ice spikes and ice chains can be freely condensed to strike targets from all directions. Special Skill "Ice Bear Blizzard" can form an extremely cold tornado that tightly wraps the target, causing continuous frostbite and blocking the release of Spirit Abilities! If an ordinary Titled Douluo is caught in it, they will turn into an ice sculpture and their life force will be extinguished!]
[Evaluation: As the adopted son personally raised by the Snow Empress, it inherited the purest coldness and ferocity of the Extreme North. This Domain is simple, direct, and lethal. Its drawbacks are a lack of tricky variations and extreme dependence on an icy environment.]
[Reward: Spirit Beast age increased by 20,000 years, Ice Bear Domain strengthened, attribute evolved into Ultimate Ice, ignores the next heavenly tribulation (300,000-Year Great Tribulation), granted the Talent: Extreme Cold Rampage - Wrath of the Ice Bear Emperor (body size increases by fifty percent, defense and strength instantly double, pain immunity, and every attack comes with a crushing effect)]
... Boom!
In a massive ice valley covered by ten thousand years of accumulated snow in the Extreme North Core Area.
As the heavenly dao reward descended, a "snow mountain" that had previously been still suddenly began to shake.
That was not a mountain; it was a gigantic Ice Bear over fifty meters long, pure white like jade, exuding terrifying coldness!
The Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai!
Its large eyes, which had been somewhat sleepy, suddenly widened, filled with clear stupidity... Oh no, clear surprise!
"Awoo?!"
"Is that me? Is it me?"
"Mama! Mama, look quickly! I made it onto the list too!"
Xiao Bai was so excited that it jumped straight up from the ground.
This single jump caused the entire Extreme North Core Area to feel like it was undergoing a small earthquake.
Buzz! The heavenly dao golden light enveloped this colossal creature.
Xiao Bai felt a warm current instantly flow through its entire body.
The bottleneck within its body, which was just a hair's breadth away from 300,000 years, was weaker than thin paper in the face of this power.
290,000 years... 300,000 years... 310,000 years!
Breakthrough! And it was a breakthrough without any pain!
The 300,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation, which had hung over its head and made it tremble whenever it thought of it, was directly ignored by the heavenly dao!
More importantly, a cold energy of utmost purity erupted from its body!
Ultimate Ice!
It, the Ice Bear King, finally possessed the same Ultimate attribute as its Mama (Snow Empress) and that fierce Aunt (Ice Empress)!
Ice Empress: I'm fierce? I'll beat you up later!
Of course, what excited it the most was the extra Talent bestowed by the heavenly screen!
Xiao Bai felt the explosive power within its body, especially the [Extreme Cold Rampage] Talent, making it feel like an "active volcano" about to erupt!
"Strength doubled? And it can crush things?"
"Hehehe..."
Xiao Bai let out a hearty yet chilling laugh.
It casually slapped a nearby ice mountain.
Boom! Without using any spirit power, relying only on its physical strength combined with the Talent's "crushing" effect, the hundreds-of-meters-tall ice mountain instantly exploded, turning into ice powder that scattered everywhere!
"So strong! Too strong!"
Xiao Bai turned its giant head and looked toward the deepest part of the Extreme North.
It spread its four thick legs and rumbled toward the Snow Empress's Palace.
The glaciers and snow hills along the way were shattered like tofu dregs when it ran into them.
It couldn't wait to go and ask for praise!
... Extreme North, Snow Maiden Palace.
Two breathtakingly beautiful women were present; one wore an ice-blue long dress, possessing a noble and aloof temperament, like an Empress in the snow.
This was the leader of the Three Kings of the Extreme North, the Snow Empress, with 690,000 years of cultivation!
The other wore a short jade-green skirt, petite and exquisite, yet radiating a sense of willfulness and dominance.
This was the second-ranked Ice Empress, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!
A rare gentle smile appeared on the Snow Empress's face, which usually remained an expressionless iceberg for ten thousand years: "I didn't expect Xiao Bai to have such a fortune."
"With Ultimate Ice, 310,000 years of cultivation, and Extreme Cold Rampage - Wrath of the Ice Bear Emperor, Ah Tai should no longer be Xiao Bai's opponent."
The Ice Empress beside her gave an arrogant snort, crossing her arms.
"Hmph, fools have fool's luck... wait, silly bears have silly luck!"
"However..." The Ice Empress changed the subject, her eyes becoming somewhat serious.
"Elder Sister, now that both Ah Tai and Xiao Bai possess Ultimate Ice, their strength has greatly increased."
"Plus, we might also make it onto the list later. Do you think the overall strength of the Extreme North will surpass that of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
The Snow Empress shook her head slightly, her gaze profound.
"Do not underestimate Di Tian."
"Furthermore, the changes happening on the human side are what worry me the most."
"That human named Lin Yuan has already achieved godhood. The future of this continent will likely not be peaceful."
... Compared to the joy and warmth of the Extreme North. The reactions of the major forces across the continent, however, plunged into panic.
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
"Bang!" Emperor Xue Ye slumped onto the dragon throne, the memorials in his hand scattering across the floor.
"Two 300,000-year Ultimate Ice Spirit Beasts..."
"Will the Extreme North still be a place humans can go in the future?"
"Issue the order!"
Emperor Xue Ye roared hoarsely: "Seal the borders! Strictly forbid any Spirit Master from entering the Extreme North!"
"That is a forbidden zone! A place of death!"
"Whoever dares to provoke those monsters and cause a beast tide to surge south, We shall execute their entire nine generations of kin!"
... Just as human Spirit Masters across the continent were changing color at the mention of the Extreme North. Extreme North Core Area.
Xiao Bai finally charged to the front of the Snow Maiden Palace.
It slammed on the brakes, its massive body sliding several hundred meters across the snow, stopping perfectly in front of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.
"Mama! Aunt Bing'er!"
Xiao Bai reverted to its goofy appearance, lying on the ground and nudging its big head closer.
"Look, look! I've gotten stronger!"
"I'm super formidable now!"
The Snow Empress stretched out her hand, white as jade, and gently stroked Xiao Bai's cold, large head, her eyes full of doting affection.
"Good, Xiao Bai has grown up."
"From now on, the peace of the Extreme North relies on us protecting it together."
Originally, the Snow Empress had been worried about Xiao Bai breaking through the 300,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
After all, she herself only had less than ten thousand years remaining until her next heavenly tribulation, and she was not confident she could break through it.
But the appearance of the heavenly screen gave both her and the Ice Empress hope!
Just then, golden light flashed again!
