"I haven't seen you for one night, how did you get an extra mark on your forehead?" Ice Empress leaned in, her orange-gold pupils flashing with great curiosity.
Jin Mian touched the Godly Trial mark left by the God of Destruction on his forehead.
He said perfunctorily, "I was bored and just doodled it, it's nothing special. Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"
He did not mention the matter of the Godly Trial.
Although he had become quite familiar with Ice Empress,
the relationship between the two parties was merely born from a transaction.
It wasn't stable.
So it was better not to show off.
And Ice Empress was only slightly curious.
Even though as a Spirit Beast, she had lived for a very long time,
regarding the legends of gods,
her knowledge was limited to having only heard of them.
Ice Empress looked at Jin Mian and said, "Didn't you beg me before, saying that during these three months, I should be your sparring partner? Let's go."
After saying that,
Ice Empress used her scorpion tail to directly take Jin Mian out of the room.
They arrived outside.
One human and one beast, just like that in the ice and snow,
began their sparring.
Snow Empress stood on the top floor of the palace, watching Jin Mian and Ice Empress sparring below.
A slight smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth.
But the moment she saw the purple mark on Jin Mian's forehead,
Snow Empress's brow furrowed tightly.
Her gaze fixed on the mark at the center of Jin Mian's brow.
For some reason, she always felt that this mark was very unusual.
Just as she wanted to use her mental force to investigate further,
Suddenly!
An inexplicable sense of dread made the hairs all over her body stand on end.
Her pupils dilated, and her heart began to beat violently.
It was as if she were being stared at by some powerful existence.
Her body didn't dare to move an inch.
She didn't even dare to take a breath.
Fortunately, this sense of dread only lasted for an instant before completely dissipating.
Snow Empress was filled with shock and suspicion.
One must know,
her cultivation was second only to the Beast God Di Tian!
Her cultivation had reached a terrifying seven hundred thousand years!
Not to mention the place she was currently in was the Extreme North Land.
She had essential attribute and talent attribute bonuses for herself.
Even if Di Tian came, he might not necessarily be her opponent.
But that sense of dread just now had completely suppressed her to the core.
She couldn't even summon a single thought of resistance.
Just what kind of existence was it to possess such power?
While Snow Empress was deep in thought,
Ice Empress flicked her scorpion tail.
Accompanied by a miserable scream,
Jin Mian was sent flying and fell heavily onto a snow pile.
Ice Empress stood with her arms crossed, looking at Jin Mian with a tsundere gaze. Her massive body stood in place as she smiled and asked, "Do you want to continue? You little weakling."
During the time she had spent with Jin Mian,
Ice Empress had learned quite a few new words.
For example: weakling, pushover, scrub, and so on... although she didn't quite understand what these words meant,
for some reason, every time she easily defeated Jin Mian, these words would automatically flash in her mind and then blurt out.
Jin Mian, being mocked,
naturally would not give up easily.
He stood up from the ground and patted the snow off his body.
He activated his Martial Soul True Body.
"Of course!"
"Take this!"
...Unknowingly,
three months passed by in a flash.
Ice Empress's four hundred thousand year lightning tribulation arrived as scheduled.
That violent lightning tribulation was clearly several times stronger than
the previous tribulation of the Ice Plains Giant Wolf.
However, with the previous experience,
Ice Empress and Snow Empress didn't show the slightest panic this time.
With relaxed expressions, they had a barbecue together with Jin Mian.
Not far away,
ten lightning rods were erected.
Soon,
Ice Empress's four hundred thousand year great tribulation began.
The lightning tribulation, which was supposed to descend its thunderous power upon Ice Empress,
glanced over
and spotted the old rival that had made it suffer last time.
As the saying goes,
when enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.
The Spirit Beast tribulation was completely cast to the back of the lightning tribulation's mind.
It gathered thousands of bolts of lightning and crashed them all at once onto those ten lightning rods.
On the snow mountain,
Ice Empress looked at the direction the lightning tribulation was striking and couldn't help but wonder: "This lightning tribulation isn't right, is it? Why is it striking towards the metal rods? Is this my great tribulation? Or the metal rods' great tribulation?"
Hearing this,
Jin Mian gave a mischievous smile: "If you want to be struck by lightning, I can pull out the lightning rods right now."
"Hmph! Humans really aren't anything good," Ice Empress said, then ignored Jin Mian.
She picked up a freshly grilled chicken wing and began to taste it.
Snow Empress didn't have such a good appetite.
Her gaze would occasionally shift to the mark on Jin Mian's brow.
The aftereffects of that sense of dread from last time
still left her with lingering fears even now.
"Is there something dirty on my face?" Noticing that Snow Empress had been staring at him, Jin Mian asked with some confusion.
Snow Empress turned her head away: "No... nothing."
Jin Mian seemed to have guessed something, so he said with a smile: "Although I am very handsome, you must never fall in love with me. After all, I am a man with a partner. Furthermore, our races are different, there will be no result."
Hearing these words,
both Ice Empress and Snow Empress were stunned.
They thought in unison: This guy is truly narcissistic.
Ice Empress leaned towards Snow Empress and asked quietly, "Sister, you couldn't have actually fallen for this human, right?"
Dong!
Snow Empress gave Ice Empress a knock in annoyance.
Then she said, "What are you thinking? I have absolutely no interest in things like love."
Immediately, she looked at Jin Mian again and asked her question: "Jin Mian, that mark on your forehead doesn't seem to be just a random doodle, does it?"
"Oh? How so?" Jin Mian replied with a smile.
But in his heart, he was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect
Snow Empress to actually discover the unusual nature of the mark.
Could it be that she knew about the Godly Trial?
It shouldn't be.
Snow Empress was not like Di Tian, who possessed the bloodline memories of the Dragon God's descendants and the information from the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
Her true form was naturally condensed from the purest ice-attribute Heaven and Earth Essence in the core circle of the Extreme North Land.
In other words, at most, Snow Empress had only heard of the God Realm.
How could she know about the Godly Trial?
Soon he obtained the answer.
Snow Empress slowly uttered two words: "Intuition."
Afterward, Jin Mian used'secrets' as an excuse to brush it off.
Seeing that Jin Mian was unwilling to speak, Snow Empress did not continue to ask.
Ice Empress then looked at Jin Mian and said, "Jin Mian, are you going to leave once you help me finish the great tribulation and get the items?"
"Yes, otherwise what?" Jin Mian nodded and then asked back, "What, are you reluctant to see me go?"
Ice Empress rolled her eyes at Jin Mian: "In your dreams!"
After a while,
the four hundred thousand year great tribulation ended.
The result was the same as last time.
The lightning tribulation used all its strength but failed to defeat the ten lightning rods.
Ultimately defeated, it fled in embarrassment.
Ice Empress also successfully promoted to a four Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast!
Snow Empress kept her promise and handed one hundred pieces of ice extreme divine crystals to Jin Mian.
Seeing the items in hand,
Jin Mian waved goodbye without looking back.
He left the Extreme North Land
to continue searching for other attribute materials to forge Battle Armor...
