Douluo: Double comparison, this Yuhao is too cruel!

**Chapter 128: The Test Left by the Ice God—Ten Thousand Years of Cold and Loneliness**

At this moment, the scene displayed on the screen was crystal clear to the soul masters observing from the gap between the planes. After hearing the explanation from the Sky-Swallowing Ice Python, everyone grasped what was happening. They also felt an intense envy toward Huo Yuhao's opportunity in the parallel world.

Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor both felt a sense of relief wash over them.

Ice Emperor remarked, "So, this is the situation. No wonder we searched all over the Far North for so long without finding this inheritance. It simply didn't belong to us."

Snow Emperor added, "But what surprised me the most is the owner of the ancient tree. You all heard it just now; even the Sky-Swallowing Ice Python acknowledged that the owner of the tree is respected by the Ice God. It seems that this tree's owner is quite extraordinary."

Ice Emperor agreed, "That's true, but it makes sense when you consider it. Otherwise, why would the Lord Ice God grant his inheritance to Huo Yuhao in the parallel world? Clearly, the owner of that ancient tree is of a different caliber."

Snow Emperor concluded, "Nonetheless, this is a monumental opportunity for Huo Yuhao in the parallel world. If he successfully passes the test, he gains access to the Ice God's inheritance, which is the only belief shared by all soul beasts in our Far North."

Ice Emperor nodded in agreement, though a hint of worry creased her brow. "That's true, but as I said, whether he can complete the test ultimately depends on Huo Yuhao's luck. This is a trial specifically set by the Lord Ice God, and it must be extraordinary. Even Huo Yuhao in the parallel world might not pass it with ease."

Snow Emperor nodded in agreement as she considered this.

The two beasts directed their attention back to the screen.

On the other side, the God of Destruction wore an intrigued smile as he observed. "Sure enough. This aligns perfectly with my suspicions!"

"Who is the owner of that mysterious artifact? My curiosity only deepens," he murmured to himself before focusing back on the screen.

At this moment, the scene unfolding was as follows:

[After the Sky-Swallowing Ice Python's explanation, Huo Yuhao came to understand the situation.]

[The Sky-Swallowing Ice Python brought Huo Yuhao to a mysterious space that was completely covered in snow. Beneath the snow lay a thick layer of ice.]

[Observing the endless white expanse, Huo Yuhao's expression grew solemn.]

[He then asked the Sky-Swallowing Ice Python at his feet, "Senior, have we arrived?"]

[The Sky-Swallowing Ice Python set Huo Yuhao down and replied, "Yes, we are now here."]

["Welcome to the Frozen Realm."]

[At the mention of "Frozen Realm," Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. "That name suits this place perfectly."]

[The Sky-Swallowing Ice Python continued, "Although this place is called the Frozen Realm, it isn't solely named for its icy landscape. A significant part of its name comes from the fact that here, time, space, soul power, and all the laws of the outside world are completely frozen."]

["In simple terms, no matter how long you remain here, you will not age. The flow of time is halted. Additionally, since time is frozen, you will not need to eat. However, you cannot practice here; this space lacks soul power."]

[Huo Yuhao was momentarily taken aback. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange phenomenon, prompting him to ask, "So, do you normally live here?"]

[The Sky-Swallowing Ice Python shook its head. "This is merely a testing ground prepared by the Lord Ice God for the examinees. I cannot enter this space regularly."]

[Curiosity driving him, Huo Yuhao pressed, "What exactly is the test that awaits me?"]

[The Sky-Swallowing Ice Python gestured for Huo Yuhao to look into the air. "Look there."]

[Huo Yuhao directed his gaze upward, spotting an enormous hourglass materializing in the sky.]

[The hourglass stood at least dozens of meters high and more than ten meters wide, suspended in midair. The sand within it flowed at an agonizingly slow pace.]

[Huo Yuhao suddenly had a bad premonition creeping over him.]

[The Sky-Swallowing Ice Python continued, "Your test is to remain in this space alone, enduring the cold and isolation. When all the sand in the hourglass has completely flowed out, you will have passed the test."]

["However, I must inform you that once the test begins, it cannot be halted. Even if you start to regret your decision or feel driven to madness from the solitude, the test will not cease."]

["Therefore, you must carefully consider whether you wish to accept the Ice God's test."]

["It's worth mentioning that while time is frozen here, the design of the Lord Ice God equates the duration of the sand flowing out to ten thousand years in the Douluo Continent."]

["Think it over."]

[After delivering this message, the Sky-Swallowing Ice Python fell silent, granting Huo Yuhao ample time to reflect on his choice.]

[Realizing the gravity of this decision, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.]

In the gap between the planes, the group of soul masters became increasingly unsettled as they witnessed the scene.

Wang Donger remarked, "Do you think Yuhao in the parallel world will choose to accept the test?"

"Ten thousand years of cold and loneliness is not something to take lightly."

"Our lifespans aren't even that long."

Wang Qiu'er turned to Huo Yuhao. "If it were you, would you accept the test?"

Huo Yuhao replied, "Ten thousand years of loneliness and cold? Just imagining living alone in this icy wasteland without food, companionship, or any means of cultivation for that long... I might go insane!"

"I'm not sure I have the courage to take on this test."

The Snow Emperor within Huo Yuhao exhaled deeply. "Ten thousand years of cold and solitude? The cold might be manageable, but the loneliness is terrifying to even consider."

"After all, even for us soul beasts, living without companionship or practice for ten thousand years is unimaginable—unless you sleep like Tianmeng."

At this, the corner of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mouth twitched, and Ice Emperor nodded in agreement, exhaling a sigh.

She murmured, "Yes, this is far too difficult. But in the face of such a challenge, will Huo Yuhao in the parallel world still choose to advance?"
