Chapter 415: The Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Empress
The second Heavenly Tribulation also did not pose much of a threat to Yu Tianlin.
However, after he helped the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm withstand it and increased the age of his first spirit ring somewhat, the third Heavenly Tribulation was clearly about to descend as well.
This finally made Yu Tianlin feel that something was wrong.
No way. One after another?
The third Heavenly Tribulation was already the level a Spirit Beast faced when breaking through to the 400,000 year tier, and a 400,000 year Spirit Beast was generally comparable to a human rank 97 Titled Douluo.
Although Yu Tianlin's unique traits allowed him to withstand Heavenly Tribulation relatively easily, this still inevitably brought him some pressure.
Actually, that would have been fine. Although there was some pressure, Yu Tianlin believed he could still endure the third Heavenly Tribulation. The problem was, what should he do about the series of Heavenly Tribulations that would follow? His confidence would only grow lower and lower after that.
Taking advantage of the brief time before the third Heavenly Tribulation descended, Yu Tianlin quickly began to think.
In the original work, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm faced a Heavenly Tribulation when he broke through to the million year level. If the Heavenly Tribulation had descended wave after wave like this, with its power increasing continuously, then with his strength, he absolutely would not have been able to survive it.
But in fact, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had survived and later chosen Huo Yuhao.
The fact that he had successfully undergone the tribulation meant that the Heavenly Tribulation had only descended once, and it had been the one with the lowest power.
Why was that?
Clearly, there was something here that Yu Tianlin did not know, or perhaps something he had overlooked.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin began to observe the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm below him.
On the surface, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not seem strange. At the moment, he only appeared somewhat flustered because of the continuously descending Heavenly Tribulations.
However, some things could not be seen from the surface, so Yu Tianlin naturally used his mental force to scan him.
"Uh, Boss, why are you looking at me?"
Since he possessed the mental attribute, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sensed Yu Tianlin's mental scan and could not help but look at him.
"The next wave of Heavenly Tribulation seems to be coming again."
Yu Tianlin ignored the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. His brows were already furrowed.
Under his mental sensing, there was nothing unusual. The only thing was that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to be consciously or unconsciously absorbing the surrounding energy.
To put it simply, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was cultivating.
Although the energy he absorbed was extremely small, only a trace, he was still cultivating.
"Cultivating?"
Yu Tianlin muttered to himself.
Could this be the reason?
That's right. It must be this.
When the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reached the million year level, his breakthrough attracted the first Heavenly Tribulation. After becoming a million year Spirit Beast, it meant he had already reached his true limit. His cultivation would no longer advance even slightly, so the subsequent Heavenly Tribulations did not descend.
The current situation was different.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had only broken through to 900,000 years. After attracting the first wave of Heavenly Tribulation, the continuous increase in his cultivation led to successive Heavenly Tribulations.
For a Spirit Beast, even without active cultivation, its cultivation would gradually increase over time. In other words, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's cultivation was growing every moment. Although it was only a tiny bit, it was indeed constantly increasing.
It was this automatic increase in cultivation every moment that attracted the consecutive Heavenly Tribulations.
This was Yu Tianlin's conclusion.
Since he had a theory, Yu Tianlin decisively descended from midair, came to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's side, and directly opened his Thunder Domain, enveloping him within it.
A Domain could isolate other energies between heaven and earth, which was just right for interrupting the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's natural cultivation increase.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not understand Yu Tianlin's actions and inevitably felt a little despair.
If this human stopped helping him resist the Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn't he be doomed?
"Don't panic."
After saying this to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm without turning his head, Yu Tianlin continued to monitor the changes in the clouds high above.
The clouds did not dissipate because of Yu Tianlin's actions. Instead, they became denser, brewing terrifying fluctuations.
This did not surprise Yu Tianlin.
The third Heavenly Tribulation had already been attracted, so naturally, it would not dissipate by itself for such a simple reason. His goal was only to see whether he could prevent the fourth Heavenly Tribulation from descending.
If this did not work, then given the continuously increasing power of the Heavenly Tribulation, he would have no choice but to abandon the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Soon, the third Heavenly Tribulation gathered to its limit and descended from high above.
While resisting the Heavenly Tribulation, Yu Tianlin also had to use his Domain to help the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm isolate the energy between heaven and earth, interrupting his spontaneous cultivation. This situation was extremely troublesome for Yu Tianlin.
It was only because his foundation was deep, his true strength was explosive, his resistance to lightning was extremely high, and he possessed the ability to convert heavenly lightning into spirit ring age, that he managed to hold on.
After Yu Tianlin forcefully endured the final burst of the Heavenly Tribulation, he did not even have time to sense the changes in his first spirit ring. He hurriedly looked up at the clouds.
Under Yu Tianlin's gaze, the clouds finally stopped gathering and slowly dissipated, causing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed his idea was correct.
The subsequent consecutive Heavenly Tribulations were indeed caused by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's continuous cultivation. Isolating the energy of heaven and earth could prevent them.
Yu Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. The intense feeling of danger that had been hanging over his heart finally vanished.
"This place is not suitable for a long stay. Let's go."
After the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared, Yu Tianlin did not linger. He vaguely sensed that some powerful existences seemed to have been attracted by the commotion of the Heavenly Tribulation, so he pulled the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and quickly left the area.
Not long after Yu Tianlin and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm left, a massive figure covered in snow-white fur arrived at the location.
The figure was enormous, standing at least a hundred meters tall. It was the Titan Snow Demon King, whose cultivation was not far from the Vicious Beast level.
"He already left?"
A deep voice sounded from the Titan Snow Demon King's mouth.
"Undergoing three successive Heavenly Tribulations. Such a powerful expert has actually appeared in the Extreme North Land."
Undergoing three successive Heavenly Tribulations meant reaching at least the 400,000 year level. Such cultivation had already surpassed the Ice Empress.
With the sudden appearance of an existence stronger than the Ice Empress, the already stable situation in the Extreme North Land would likely be shaken again.
Just as the Titan Snow Demon King was thinking about the Ice Empress, the Ice Empress happened to arrive as well.
"Snow Demon, were you the first to arrive?"
As a crisp voice rang out, a scorpion with five segments of emerald-green tail crawled over the ice.
"Who was undergoing tribulation here just now?"
As the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the Ice Empress was only about 1.5 meters long, while the Titan Snow Demon King exceeded a hundred meters. Although the difference in size between them was so great, the Ice Empress asked her question very naturally, unafraid that the Titan Snow Demon King would refuse to answer her.
