Filled with rage, Di Tian fumed—and seriously considered charging in right then to scatter the ashes of those Emerald Phosphor Flowers to the wind.
"Hold on, I said you can't show yourself directly yet," Lin Yun quickly grabbed the furious Di Tian, patiently persuading him. "The Emerald Phosphor Flowers are mine and Bing'er's to handle. You stay hidden. If that bastard did leave behind a divine sense, you smash it with the Dragon God Claw!"
"Instead of venting on some disposable poison flowers, wouldn't it be more satisfying to go straight for the mastermind?"
"Understood, Honored One. This subordinate was too impulsive." Di Tian took a deep breath, his expression dark. "I will make that trash pay."
With a bow to Lin Yun, Di Tian stepped back and vanished into space.
No one waits for you forever… except a lurker!
"Bing'er, come out. We're moving!" A pair of radiant golden dragon wings burst from Lin Yun's back as he took to the skies under his own power.
The Ice Empress crawled out from his robes and perched on his left shoulder.
"Don't worry, Honored One. With my Ultimate Ice, that so-called miasma is child's play!" Her crystalline yellow eyes gleamed with disdain as she eyed the distant white haze.
Eternal Frozen Domain!
A brilliant emerald light flared, forming an oval barrier around Lin Yun under the Ice Empress's precise control.
Though the shield was only two meters away, Lin Yun felt no chill—all the cold was contained outside, leaving him perfectly unaffected.
This was the temperature mastery of the Extreme North's ruler. If she willed it, even a block of Ultimate Ice could sit in flames without melting.
"Then let's go! Time to reclaim what belongs to the soul beasts!" Lin Yun laughed, his Golden Phantom Dragon Wings beating hard, propelling him forward like a golden lightning bolt.
Dragon Soars the Nine Heavens!
Golden flames ignited along the wings' scales as Lin Yun's speed shattered the sound barrier. The wingtips tore through the air, leaving twin white shockwaves in his wake.
"This is flying!" The scenery blurred past him. Though his soul power drained at a terrifying rate, the exhilaration was indescribable.
It was the difference between riding in a car and driving one. Soaring on his own power was an entirely different experience.
This was his first time pushing the Golden Phantom Dragon Wings to their limits. These 100,000-year external soul bones, reforged by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, were finally unleashing their true potential.
At this speed, even Soul Douluos could only eat his dust. To catch him, you'd need a flying-type Titled Douluo—or at least one with flight-type soul tools.
Of course, this was straight-line speed. In terms of agility, Lin Yun still couldn't match a true Titled Douluo.
"The miasma's coming!"
The world ahead grew increasingly hazy, like viewing a winter morning through fog—a surreal beauty masking lethal danger.
Crack…
BOOM!
In the distance, a corroded giant tree collapsed, its rotten splinters scattering before dissolving into the miasma, thickening it further.
This wasn't an isolated case. Around it, layers of ash piled high, mixed with the bones of unknown soul beasts. Unlike the gray-white wood residue, those remains were tainted with a horrifying rainbow sheen.
"Honored One, even if we destroy the Emerald Phosphor Poison Array now, the damage to this forest is irreversible." The Ice Empress's voice was heavy, her anger barely contained.
"Without a Three-Eyed Golden Lion appearing here, Sunset Forest will degrade into an ordinary woodland—at best, hosting mere thousand-year soul beasts."
"Add human threats into the mix…"
Unlike the Sun Moon Continent, which collided with Douluo a few millennia ago, the Extreme North had bordered it since ancient times.
The Ice Empress preferred her icy domain, but that didn't mean she'd never left it. She might not have circled the globe like Di Magellan Tian, but she'd certainly traveled Douluo.
How could she not remember Sunset Forest? Once a thriving habitat for countless ten-thousand-year soul beasts and even a few hundred-thousand-year ones.
Now? Not a single ten-thousand-year soul beast remained.
Her fury didn't match Di Tian's, but a sense of mourning crept in.
If not for the Honored One… If the Extreme North's two Emperors and two Kings all fell to heavenly tribulations… If another human god rose…
Would our home end up like Sunset Forest—sacrificed to some god's schemes?
Oh, you guessed right. In ten thousand years, when that trash Tang San dragged the Abyss Plane to Douluo, the Extreme North would be first on the chopping block! (Lin Yun approval.jpg)
'Truly, the Honored One is the soul beasts' last hope. Only he is our reliable pillar!' The Ice Empress stole a glance at Lin Yun's profile, her thoughts racing.
That golden-haired girl at Shrek Academy was right—individual achievement has limits. Better to find a sheltering embrace!
No, not enough. She had to drag Xue'er into this too!
[Love-struck buff activated!]
Just stepping into Sunset Forest had triggered the Ice Empress's self-persuasion, unlocking her peak intellect to play prophet—accurately predicting the fates of both the Extreme North and soul beasts (minus the survival of its rulers).
Unaware that the Ice Empress was already scheming to deliver the Snow Empress to his bed, Lin Yun felt his soul power draining rapidly under the Golden Phantom Dragon Wings' insane consumption.
Soon, he could no longer maintain supersonic speed, his wingbeats slowing.
Still, that burst had brought him to the miasma's densest region.
Here, the poison couldn't even be called miasma anymore—it was Emerald Phosphor Poison Clouds.
The toxic fumes had shifted from pale white to a sinister rainbow, chilling to behold.
But Ultimate Ice lived up to its name. The moment the poison clouds touched the Eternal Frozen Domain's shield, they froze solid and shattered like brittle glass.
Total annihilation.
