Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 216 ---

Douluo Continent was a wonderful place filled with great danger and opportunity. However, there is a particular place that was desolate from human civilizations.

The extreme north, a snowy white land filled with intense coldness and never-ending blizzard, which was not very known by humankind on Douluo Continent.

A few people have been there, but it wasn't suitable for living because of its harsh condition. After thousand years, a legend finally was told among spirit masters that powerful spirit beasts were living there.

--- Extreme North ---

It's been a few months since unknown dark creatures invaded the extreme north and swallowed everything on their paths.

Heavenly Snow Woman, Snow Empress, has been pushing them away from her territory, but they kept coming in much larger numbers every time she wiped the former from existence.

Snow Empress looked at the snowy land with a frown because she could sense more of those dark creatures entering her domain.

An enormous ice jade emperor scorpion slowly emerged from the thick snow and approached Snow Empress. It transformed into a green-haired teenage girl in a jade dress, which matched her appearance.

"Ice Emperor, how is the current situation?" Snow Empress calmly asked while looking at the green-haired girl, one of the extreme north's three great lords.

The Ice Emperor possessed quite a petite body. She stood around 4,9 ft in height and had braided twin-tails hairs while a beautiful jade scorpion tail was dancing from her upper butt.

"We are in a bad position now," Ice Emperor calmly answered. "Those creatures have multiplied far more compared to the first attack."

Ice Emperor slowly moved her yellow eyes to Snow Empress and continued, "We need help."

"From whom?" Snow Empress returned with a sigh.

They don't have a relationship with other spirit beasts on the continent because the extreme north literally was desolated.

Snow Empress and Ice Emperor knew about Golden-Eyed Black Dragon inside Star Dou Forest, but they doubt he'd even help them, considering they didn't have any connection.

"Human... We could ask for their help." The Ice Emperor suddenly proposed with a solemn expression.

Snow Empress formed a cold smile and commented, "Don't be ridiculous! Have you forgotten about that incident?"

A few years ago, a human shamelessly stole their treasure and ran away with their precious treasure, which was 10,000 years old cold essences.

They could rapidly improve their strengths with those stolen 10,000 years old cold essence, but that shameless human didn't even leave a single piece.

"We couldn't trust humans." Snow Empress indifferently continued, "They are nothing but greedy creatures-."

BOOM!

As Snow Empress finished her words, a crimson light suddenly pierced the snowy sky and abruptly charged her domain.

"What was that..." Snow Empress hurriedly moved her blue eyes to the snowy sky and noticed a human's silhouette hovered with beautiful golden wings.

Yunlong had arrived at the extreme north and spontaneously sensed more than 100,000 dark creatures' presence, which caught him off guard for a second.

"Well, It's a whole army already..." Yunlong casually commented while looking down upon the snowy white domain, which was tainted with black dots.

Yunlong slowly descended onto the ice mountain near him and moved his gaze to Gu Yuena, who approached him with a solemn expression.

"How was it?" Yunlong naturally asked.

Gu Yuena has used her superb spiritual sense and quickly discovered the dimensional crack had opened for months. If this continues, this land will be under attack by millions of dark creatures.

Not to mention those dark creatures like a spirit beast, who was over 10,000 years old in terms of strength.

However, they are nothing but common fodders compared to the individual who controlled them, which caused them to look way more terrifying.

"I could sever the dimensional cracks with my ability, but I couldn't move after I began the process." Gu Yuena firmly said while looking at Yunlong.

"I want you to protect me." She continued with a bitter sigh.

Gu Yuena wouldn't expect herself to say such a thing, but she couldn't really do anything about it. 'Just this once, I'd swallow my pride.' She naturally thought while clenching her hands.

"Okay, I'll protect you," Yunlong smiled slightly.

"I want to help too..." Kaguya suddenly approached them with silver vines dancing around her.

Yunlong glanced at Kaguya and instructed, "Sure, you can monitor the area around us."

"I'll do it." Kaguya slowly closed her eyes, and silver glows came out from her body.

Under the thick snows, Kaguya's silver vines quickly moved underground and encircled the area around them. "I've sensed two beings coming toward us." She opened her eyes.

Yunlong raised his gaze slightly and saw two silhouettes descended from the sky, a beautiful white-haired woman and a lovely green-haired girl.

They landed in front of them and looked at Yunlong with hostility, which caused him to smile inside because he knew them.

'Snow and Ice Emperor,' Yunlong confidently thought while looking at these women.

"Human, what are you doing in my territory?" Snow Empress bluntly asked while crossing her snowy arms.

"We are going to seal the dimensional crack." Yunlong naturally answered while looking at the black hole, which was so huge compared to a soccer field.

The portal was basically like a great black wall, which seemed to touch the sky. Still, the size is actually not that big because the extreme north was excessively vast.

"Huh?" The Ice Emperor was surprised. "You could seal that portal?"

"Well, I could definitely seal it." Yunlong shrugged his shoulders. "However, she's the one who is gonna do it."

The Ice Emperor moved her gaze to Gu Yuena and felt fear striking her heart for some reason. "Bloodline Pressure... Impossible! How could my noble bloodline be pressured?" She mumbled in awe.

"Noble Bloodline?" Gu Yuena couldn't help but chuckle a little.

Gu Yuena's violet eyes released a majestic dragon aura, which swept over Ice Emperor's petite body.

"Your bloodline meant nothing in front of me." She coldly declared. "Know your place, little scorpion."

Snow Empress calmly stood in front of Ice Emperor and solemnly looked at Gu Yuena. "You're also a spirit beast, but I've never heard of you before." She said quietly.

"We aren't enemies." Snow Empress continued. "We are just wary of his existence."

Gu Yuena briefly observed Snow Empress and commented, "A 690,000 years old Snow Woman and a 390,000 years old Little Ice Scorpion."

"You two sure act all mighty with such weak cultivation." She bluntly added. "I know the reason why the dimensional tunnel reached such a state now."

'This woman really has such a sharp mouth...' Kaguya thought while casually enjoying her sweet pill.

"Okay, calm down." Yunlong quickly stepped between these women. "We are here not to fight each other but to seal that dimensional crack, remember?"

"Hmph." Gu Yuena swayed her head and slowly sat cross-legged on the snow.

ROOOOOOAAARR!

The dimensional cracks swiftly were concealed by silver light, which immediately caused dark creatures to roar because they received an order to stop this from happening.

"Don't let them touch me." Gu Yuena commanded while closing her eyes.

"Noted," Yunlong answered with a smile.

He slowly walked on the ice's tip and glanced at the incoming dark creature with a calm gaze.

"Are you going to defeat all of them by yourself?" Snow Empress questioned and looked at Yunlong's back. "Even our forces are losing in terms of numbers and power."

"Haha... Don't worry." Yunlong chuckled slightly. "We actually aren't disadvantaged."

"Do you know why?" He turned around and looked at Snow Empress's eyes.

"I don't know?" Snow Empress was confused at his statement.

Yunlong moved his gaze back to the dark creatures and answered, "We aren't disadvantaged because we have the higher ground."
