Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Forming an Alliance



As Yang Podi finished speaking, Snow Empress hesitated for a long time before finally opening her mouth, "What's the point of everything you're saying? What exactly do you want us to do in this cooperation?"

It seemed as though Yang Podi didn't hear Snow Empress's words. His soul power began to circulate rapidly within him, especially in his dantian and heart area. The two soul cores spun swiftly, devouring the surrounding soul power like a whale consuming water.

Snow Empress was stunned by this sight. "Yin-Yang dual soul cores? How is this possible? How can a mere human body endure such soul cores?"

Yang Podi gently shook his head. "That's a personal secret of mine. I'm only showing these two soul cores to demonstrate my strength. At the very least, I shouldn't be weaker than Di Tian in combat. Our cooperation should proceed more smoothly because of this."

At this moment, Snow Empress's expression turned serious. Clearly, Yang Podi's strength might surpass even hers. "How exactly do you plan to cooperate with me? What do I have to offer, and what will I gain in return?"

Yang Podi pondered for a moment before responding, "Our cooperation will primarily involve the following aspects:

"First, you will mobilize all soul beasts in the Extreme North to help me find the Iceworm. Once it's found, leave the Iceworm to me; you need not interfere.

"Second, Heavenly Academy and the Extreme North shall form an alliance. If Heavenly Academy is attacked, all personnel will retreat to the Extreme North, and your soul beasts will assist in shielding us. In return, I promise to protect you all, especially after Tian Yue and I ascend to godhood. We will also protect the entire Extreme North.

"Third, I will try my best to help you heal your injuries or find alternative methods to save you, helping you avoid the seventy-thousand-year heavenly tribulation ahead."

Everyone was taken aback by these conditions. Whether it was Yang Wudi and his group behind Yang Podi or Snow Empress and her party, none had expected Yang Podi to make such promises.

Snow Empress hesitated before asking, "How can you guarantee you'll fulfill your promises?"

Yang Podi shook his head slightly. "For a god's inheritor, ascending to godhood is the most important goal. If I can't even keep a promise like this, I don't deserve to ascend."

At this moment, Ice Empress interjected, "Do you really have a way to heal Sister Snow Empress? Or to help her avoid the tribulation?"

Yang Podi thought for a moment before replying, "Normally, there are only two ways for a soul beast to avoid a heavenly tribulation.

"One is to enhance their strength and physical resilience. I can have Ye Lingling treat your injuries. Ye Lingling is the only healing-type Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, and she can effectively heal your injuries. Additionally, I can help you find heavenly treasures to boost your physical capabilities.

"The second method is transformation. If you're willing to transform, Heavenly Academy can protect you during your recovery until your strength is fully restored.

"Of course, I also have a third option. You could willingly offer yourselves as spirit rings for Tian Yue or me. After we ascend to godhood, we can resurrect you, even making you divine beasts with eternal life."

Snow Empress and the other three soul beasts pondered for a long time before finally speaking, "We can agree to this cooperation, but you must show sincerity. Otherwise, how can we trust mere words?"

Yang Podi thought for a moment and then drew the Asura Demon Sword from his back. The moment it was unsheathed, a surge of divine light and killing intent filled the sky. Even Snow Empress felt an immense sense of threat.

"This is the Asura Demon Sword, the divine weapon of the Asura God. Our cooperation will be witnessed by this sword or, rather, by the Asura God, an enforcer of divine laws. As the inheritor of the Asura God, I cannot break this promise."

As Yang Podi finished speaking, a crimson lightning bolt appeared in the sky as if heaven itself was responding to his words.

Snow Empress gazed at the blood-red Asura Demon Sword, especially at the crimson lightning that seemed like heavenly fury. Finally, she nodded. "Very well. The Extreme North can cooperate with Heavenly Academy to form an alliance. I hope you will keep your word."

"Deal. May our alliance remain eternal."

After speaking, Yang Podi dripped a drop of his blood onto the Asura Demon Sword. Seeing this, Snow Empress also dripped a drop of her own blood onto the sword.

As the alliance was formed, the red light of the Asura Demon Sword grew even brighter, seemingly bearing witness to this pact.

At this moment, Snow Empress was even more astonished because she noticed that Yang Podi's blood was unlike ordinary blood. It wasn't entirely dark red but half red and half golden. Clearly, Yang Podi's strength far exceeded her imagination.

After the alliance was established, Yang Podi turned to Ye Lingling and said, "Lingling, please help treat Senior Snow Empress and the others, especially focusing on Senior Snow Empress's hidden injuries."

Ye Lingling nodded slightly, summoning the massive Nine Heart Begonia. A green glow enveloped everyone present, its supreme healing effect benefiting even Snow Empress greatly.

Yang Podi then returned to his group.

Yang Wudi, seemingly disapproving, spoke up. "Podi, why would you ally with these four soul beasts? With your strength, you could have killed them all."

Looking at the puzzled faces around him, Yang Podi thought for a moment before replying, "The main reason is that I want to find that Iceworm. That Iceworm would be incredibly beneficial to both Tian Yue and me, especially with its unique properties.

"Additionally, Heaven Academy is somewhat isolated in Mount Almo. Whether it's the upper three sects of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall, or even the soul beasts of Star Dou Forest, they're all our enemies now. If we make too many enemies, it will only make our future more difficult.

"The Extreme North has a great natural advantage. It's hard for both humans and soul beasts to conquer this region. Snow Empress's strength, which isn't weaker than Di Tian's, ensures a safe retreat for Heavenly Academy.

"Moreover, if we were to kill these four soul beasts, the Extreme North would experience an unprecedented beast tide. Even Heavenly Academy wouldn't be able to stop it."

Yang Podi was also considering another issue. According to the original storyline, the Iceworm had known about the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python's sacrifice to Tang San. It was likely in the Star Dou Forest at the time.

But based on what Snow Empress and Ice Empress had said, they had never encountered a godhood-achieved Iceworm. Did this mean the Iceworm might still be in the Extreme North? Or perhaps it hadn't yet emerged?

In the original story, the Iceworm, being a natural flatterer, would have sought out Ice Empress after achieving godhood. It was likely during this time in the Extreme North that it was chased down, even pursued by sea soul beasts, and eventually fled to the Star Dou Forest, where it was captured by Di Tian and the others as a "power bank."

Yang Podi had been coveting the Iceworm for a long time. It was the only soul beast on the Douluo Continent to break through to rank 100. Its divine power was invaluable, not just for him but for everyone, offering a million-year soul ring and soul bone. The Iceworm was a treasure even among fierce beasts.

As long as the Iceworm hadn't fallen into the hands of the Silver Dragon King, Yang Podi was determined to claim it.

After the alliance was established, Ye Lingling treated the Ice Empress and the other three soul beasts before focusing on Snow Empress.

However, the injuries Snow Empress sustained from failing to balance the Yin-Yang dual soul cores were far more severe than anyone had imagined. Even with Ye Lingling's full efforts, she could only alleviate the injuries and not heal them completely.

Yang Podi thought for a moment and then turned to Yang Zhentian. "Father, where's that piece of Life Gold I brought back last time? Take it out for a moment."

Yang Zhentian hesitated briefly but ultimately retrieved a piece of metal brimming with life energy from his soul tool. It was the Life Gold obtained from the lair of the three Thousand-Jin Ant Emperors.

Yang Podi hesitated briefly before handing the Life Gold to Snow Empress. "This piece of Life Gold should help with your injuries. I'll lend it to you for a while. Please try to find the Iceworm for me as soon as possible. Once we locate it, your injuries might be completely healed."

Snow Empress looked at the Life Gold radiating immense vitality in front of her. She initially wanted to refuse, but her body's very essence craved it intensely. In the end, she still accepted it.

This piece of Life Gold was undoubtedly invaluable. However, as part of the alliance, accepting something of this magnitude would likely mean owing an equally significant favor.

The surrounding people were equally stunned, surprised that Yang Zhentian had been carrying such a treasure on him.

Particularly, Dugu Bo couldn't help but comment. "Little monster, this piece of metal has such a potent life aura. Did you previously place it atop Almo Mountain? No wonder I felt that the life energy on Almo Mountain had become so much richer, and cultivation speed had significantly increased."

"You actually dared to take this out? That's really not like you."

Yang Podi sighed slightly. "Right now, we're practically enemies of the entire world. Lending it out in exchange for an ally who's a Peerless Douluo doesn't seem like a loss. Moreover, we might even receive unexpected benefits."

Dugu Bo muttered with slight disdain, "What unexpected benefits could outweigh this kind of treasure? With this metal alone, don't you think the Heavenly Academy could remain unshaken for ten thousand years?"

"Life Gold is indeed a treasure, but its effects aren't quite that exaggerated. Besides, I've already left behind something that can ensure the Heavenly Academy's survival for ten thousand years."

Hearing this, many were confused, though Yang Wudi and the older generation's expressions subtly changed. They even nodded silently.

The true treasure capable of ensuring the Academy's survival for ten thousand years was undoubtedly the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If the Iceworm could be found, it would be worth paying even two pieces of Life Gold.

After Snow Empress accepted the Life Gold, she began issuing orders to the entire Extreme North. It seemed as though all the soul beasts of the Extreme North began moving in unison.

Suddenly, Yang Podi thought of something and turned to Ice Empress."Senior Bing Di, when the Ice SlikWorm disappeared, the last ones in contact with it should've been your Ice Jade Scorpion Clan. Please return and ask your clansmen if anyone remembers the last place they saw it. Confirming the location would be extremely beneficial to me."

Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance before Ice Empress left alone to inquire with her Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.
