In the long years the Titan Snow Demon King had lived, he had never felt the Snow Empress emit such a cruel, undisguised killing intent, as if she intended to freeze the entire World.
Even back then, when he had overestimated himself and "confessed" his admiration to the Snow Empress, only to be beaten until every bone in his body was broken and left lingering on the brink of death for centuries, her anger then was far less than it was at this moment.
This was by no means an ordinary conflict.
For the Snow Empress to be like this, something must have crossed her bottom line, or... it was a massive crisis sufficient to threaten the peace of the entire Extreme North Land.
As one of the three heavenly kings of the far north, protecting this land was his responsibility, and the Snow Empress was an object of his awe and someone he must protect.
Without hesitation, the Titan Snow Demon King, A Tai, let out a low growl that shook the ice plains, and then he moved his massive legs, which were like pillars of ice.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With every step he took, the earth trembled, leaving behind giant footprints several meters deep on the ice plains.
He no longer paid attention to the commotion within his clan; his massive body charged toward the area where the Snow Empress's Aura had erupted with an astonishing speed that belied his size.
He wanted to see exactly who had such audacity and what exactly had happened.
At the same time, in another relatively warm area with numerous underground hot springs and sturdy ice caves, this was the territory of the Ice Bear Clan.
Inside the most spacious ice cave, lined with soft, dry snow moss, an exceptionally large white bear, also over twenty meters tall, was curled up in a deep sleep.
Its entire body was covered in fluffy white fur, and with its round head and face, it even looked somewhat charmingly naive.
However, the terrifying Aura it occasionally emitted unconsciously in its dreams revealed that it was by no means as harmless as it appeared.
It was precisely the powerful existence not widely known to the outside World but with strength comparable to the Titan Snow Demon King—the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai.
He had been adopted by the Snow Empress since childhood; in his heart, the Snow Empress was his closest and most revered "Mama," whom he was willing to give everything to protect.
"Wu—?!"
The moment the celestial phenomena shifted drastically, the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai jerked awake from his slumber. His massive bear head snapped up, and his eyes, which were initially a bit dazed, instantly widened to full circles upon sensing the familiar yet strange, violent killing intent belonging to the Snow Empress in the air, which was then replaced by boundless rage.
"Roar—!!!"
A deafening roar, filled with brutality and anxiety, erupted from the ice cave, causing the icicles on the ceiling to rattle and fall.
"Who is it?! Who dares to enrage the Snow Empress? I will tear them to shreds!!!"
Xiao Bai's thinking was simple and direct.
Enraging the Snow Empress = Unforgivable = Must be destroyed.
He didn't even stop to consider the reasons like the Titan Snow Demon King; a pure instinct to protect his master instantly occupied his entire mind.
