The Ice Empress and the others would never sit idly by and watch outsiders besiege the Snow Empress in the Far North Core.
And as the Dominator of the Extreme North, trying to surround and kill the Snow Empress in the Extreme North Land was simply a fantasy.
By wielding the power of the Extreme North Land, she could instantly summon all the Extreme North Spirit Beasts to come to her aid.
Facing hundreds of thousands of Extreme North Spirit Beasts, even more Titled Douluo would likely be overwhelmed and crushed to death.
At that point, it wouldn't be a question of whether she could break through; rather, she would ensure that these audacious invaders, who desecrated the peace of the Extreme North, remained in this cold grave forever, not a single one left behind.
The Snow Empress's killing intent, as piercing as ten-thousand-year profound ice, was no longer just mental oppression; it resonated with this Extreme North Ice Plain that she had ruled for nearly seven hundred thousand years.
Centered on that solitary, lofty Snow Peak, an invisible wave of chill spread rapidly like ripples on water, instantly sweeping across the vast Extreme North Land.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, beginning to gather and swirl frantically. The already howling wind and snow suddenly intensified, transforming into white giant pythons that connected heaven and earth, letting out deafening roars.
Fine ice crystals no longer drifted down but were swept along by the gale like billions of sharp arrows, scouring everything. The temperature, already extremely low, plummeted again, as if even the Soul could be frozen.
At this moment, the entire climate of the Extreme North Land turned completely violent due to their monarch's rage.
Almost at the same instant as this celestial change.
In another forbidden zone of the Extreme North Land, a territory composed of countless magnificent, translucent ice crystal corals and ten-thousand-year-old emerald ice that never melted, countless Ice Jade Scorpions looked up at the sky.
This was precisely the territory of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, one of the overlords of the Extreme North.
Deep within the territory, at the bottom of an inconspicuous cliff covered by ten-thousand-year snow, a huge cave entrance lay hidden.
The interior of the cave was not of man-made beauty but was filled with primitive, rugged ice and snow power.
Countless giant icicles hung like a forest, and the cold air was as dense as mist. This was a treasure land naturally formed by the purest ice energy—the dwelling of the Ice Empress, Clan Chief of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan and one of the three heavenly kings of the far north.
Deep in the cave, a Soul Beast lay quietly on the coldest piece of profound ice.
It was about 1.5 meters long, its body displaying two distinctly different yet perfectly fused colors.
One was a translucent white like an ancient glacier, and the other was a deep, cold emerald green full of vitality.
The front of its body had four overlapping segments, with the head at the very front and mouthparts shimmering with a silver-white metallic luster.
Its upper body and six sharp long legs were covered in perfect hexagonal protrusions, as if countless tiny diamonds were embedded in them, reflecting a brilliant and hard luster under the faint icy light flowing through the cave.
Most striking were its pair of one-meter-long front claws, also covered in diamond-like hexagonal protrusions. Only the very tips of the pincers were a mirror-smooth, daunting silver-white.
Its eyes were yellow and also a unique hexagonal shape.
Unlike the multi-segmented long tails of ordinary scorpions, its tail had only five segments, each a uniform emerald green, becoming sharper toward the end. At the tip of the last segment, the stinger, which also shimmered with a diamond glow and had a silver-white mirror-like tip, was unconsciously tapping the ice surface, emitting a lethally dangerous aura.
She was one of the rulers of the Extreme North Land, second only to the Snow Empress: the Ice Empress.
At this moment, its hexagonal yellow eyes snapped open, a flicker of very human-like surprise and instantly ignited rage flashing within them.
"Xue'er... why are you so angry?"
A cold, uniquely magnetic female voice echoed directly through the cave.
"Who is it? Who dares to provoke her in the Far North Core to the point of triggering such celestial phenomena?!"
She had been with the Snow Empress for hundreds of thousands of years and was as familiar with her aura as her own.
She clearly perceived that the source triggering the violent snowstorms throughout the Extreme North was precisely the Snow Empress's undisguised killing intent.
This was no ordinary struggle; it was a sign that the Snow Empress's reverse scale had truly been touched, inciting her rage.
"Buzz—!"
Without a moment's hesitation, a strong emerald green light suddenly erupted from the Ice Empress's diamond-like body.
"Boom—!"
Powerful force erupted from her petite yet terrifyingly energetic body, causing the entire cave to tremble.
She didn't choose to fly; instead, her six legs pushed off with sudden force.
"Crack!"
The ten-thousand-year profound ice beneath her instantly shattered, and her figure turned into a bolt of lightning interwoven with emerald and translucent white, directly smashing through the heavy snow covering the cave entrance and rushing into the storm outside, which had become even more violent due to the Snow Empress's rage.
The Ice Empress's true form was like an emerald arrow released from a bowstring, tearing through the gale and smashing through icicles, racing toward the Far North Core where the Snow Empress's aura had erupted in a most primitive, violent manner befitting her status as a Soul Beast.
In her compound eyes, the sky full of wind and snow was reflected, leaving only cold killing intent.
The Snow Empress's terrifying killing intent, which triggered celestial phenomena, was like a huge stone cast into a calm lake; its ripples were not only keenly captured by the Ice Empress but also rapidly spread to other corners of the vast Extreme North Land, alarming the other two powerful existences.
On a vast wasteland in the Extreme North Land composed of countless giant ice pillars and permafrost, there lived another overlord race of the Extreme North—the Titan Snow Demons.
At this moment, in the center of this territory, dozens of figures like moving small mountains were either sitting or lying down.
Their heights generally exceeded twenty meters, with no shortage of behemoths reaching fifty meters.
However, among this group of giants, there was one figure as towering as a mountain peak rising from the ice plain.
His height surprisingly exceeded a hundred meters.
His entire body was covered in long, snow-white fur, with knotted muscles full of explosive power.
His head was massive, his features rugged, and his eyes were like two lanterns burning with ghost-blue flames.
Simply standing there, he emitted a suffocating, primitive aura.
He was one of the three heavenly kings of the far north, the Titan Snow Demon King, a terrifying existence known as "A'Tai."
At the instant the Snow Empress's killing intent swept over, these dozens of Titan Snow Demons, including the hundred-meter giant, all jerked their massive heads up and looked toward the Snow Peak.
The trembling originating from their life level and Soul Origin made even these giants known for their strength feel palpitations.
Titan Snow Demon King A'Tai's huge brow furrowed tightly, his ghost-blue eyes filled with shock and incomprehension.
"This killing intent... the Snow Empress..."
His deep voice, like rolling thunder, echoed across the wasteland.
"Who has provoked the Snow Empress? Such audacity."
