The Ice Empress let out an angry shout, her voice dripping with contempt.
"Don't make me repeat myself!"
"Looking at trash like you even once fouls my eyes!"
Were it anyone else, those words would have left them mortified.
But who was Tian Meng?
The thickest-skinned man in all of Douluo Continent!
"Don't be mad, Bingbing—hitting is affection, scolding is love!"
"I really do love you, so be mine!"
Ignoring everything else, Tian Meng beat his huge butterfly wings and shot forward like a comet, aiming to pin the Ice Empress in a forceful embrace.
"Courting death!"
Watching this, the Snow Empress's gaze turned utterly cold.
She knew reasoning with such a shameless rogue was pointless.
Only pain and fear would make him behave.
"Ice Empress, lend me your strength!"
the Snow Empress called clearly.
Without hesitation the Ice Empress flashed behind her.
She pressed both palms against the Snow Empress's back, pouring every drop of her jade-green spirit power into her companion.
"Buzz—!"
With that full support the Snow Empress's aura skyrocketed to a critical point.
Her snowy hair lifted on its own, and her four-word battle armor, Ice God Snow Dance, blazed with white light.
The wind and snow around her seemed to freeze in place.
All ice elements within the core of the Extreme North Land converged toward her outstretched hand.
Slowly she raised her right hand, one finger pointing.
That finger was crystalline, as though it contained the very laws of the frozen World.
"Ice Gods Breath!"
This strike was the Snow Empress's ultimate move—not a Domain suppression, not an area bombardment, but all cold compressed into a single godly sigh that could freeze soul and time itself.
"Whoosh!"
A finger-thin, unremarkable white beam shot out silently.
Wherever it passed, space turned into a tunnel of white ice; even time appeared to stop.
Tian Meng, arms wide for a hug, felt every hair stand on end as the white light raced toward him.
A deadly crisis made his scalp tingle.
"Crap—again?! You really want to murder your dear husband?!"
He screamed, braking mid-air.
"This time I came prepared!"
Though his combat strength was poor, his mental force was formidable.
"Block for me!"
"Divine Skill – Spirit Solidification – Absolute Spirit Shield!"
Tian Meng's vast mental force gushed out, this time drawing on his very spiritual source. Facing a combined assault, he dared not hold back.
Before him space twisted as eighteen layers of platinum spirit shields formed instantly, each layer as hard as diamond and radiating a god-tier aura.
The next moment the white Ice Gods Breath crashed into the platinum shields.
To Tian Meng's horror, his proud eighteen-layer defense shattered like paper, frozen and crushed layer after layer—one, two, five, ten—in the blink of an eye all were gone.
"Mommy!"
Terror-stricken, Tian Meng dropped any thought of courtship and tried to Teleport away.
But just as he was about to activate Teleportation, the Snow Empress spoke coldly: "Di Tian, since you're here, won't you help? This pest ran out of your Star Dou Great Forest, didn't he?"
The void was silent for a heartbeat.
Then a low, majestic voice filled with supreme dominance slowly echoed across the icy plain.
"Heh, Snow Empress… is that how you ask for a favor?"
As the words fell, the gloomy sky seemed torn open by an invisible hand, and a terrifying dragon might that changed the color of heaven and earth descended.
"This bug originally belongs to your Extreme North, but since you ask and the creature truly is despicable—even I'm annoyed—this Beast God will lend a hand."
"Boom!"
Before the echo faded, a pressure of interwoven darkness and golden light locked onto the fleeing Tian Meng.
At that instant Tian Meng felt space around him freeze; with his mental force he could barely Teleport an inch—he was suppressed.
He jerked his head up in shock.
Above him a gigantic golden dragon claw covering the vault of heaven broke through the clouds—Dragon God Claw!
Already formidable enough to rival divine force, the claw was now further amplified by battle armor.
It was the ultimate technique personally passed down by the Dragon God of old.
"Crap—I can't move! Di Tian?!"
Tian Meng shrieked, struggling wildly, but he couldn't budge.
"No, no, no! Big Brother Beast God, I admit my mistake—really! I'll stop courting and crawl back to my ice cave to sleep—spare me!"
Di Tian's eyes held only indifference.
The massive golden claw descended without hesitation, carrying the will to suppress all.
"Seal!"
At the same time the unstoppable Ice Gods Breath caught up, piercing Tian Meng's divine body unhindered.
Extreme cold erupted; in an instant his huge butterfly form, along with the terror and pleading on his face, was frozen solid.
In mere breath the once-invincible Tian Meng became a glittering ice statue and plummeted to the ground.
"Thud!"
Ice shards flew.
Space rippled, and a black-gold-robed middle-aged man with cold, stern features appeared before the Ice and Snow Empresses.
Hands clasped behind him, he glanced indifferently at the butterfly ice sculpture and curled his lips in disdain.
"This is what you call a god? Heh. The gods I've seen were never this weak."
"Possessing god-level energy without god-level strength or mindset—utterly disgracing the Soul Beast Clan."
The Snow Empress dispersed the snow and ice around her, the glow of her four-word battle armor dimming slightly.
She eyed the man with vigilance.
"Di Tian… why have you come to my Extreme North Land? Our Domains have always kept to themselves."
Di Tian turned to the two rulers of the far north, his expression softening a little.
"I hadn't planned to come, but after this worm became a god he didn't leave—instead he mocked me on his way out."
Remembering Tian Meng's parting taunt—"I'm a god now, boys, not playing with you anymore"—Di Tian's temples throbbed.
"I hold grudges. Since he dared ridicule me, I had to settle the score."
