"Good thing I left this little guy a Feather of Light in advance; otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to locate him."
Amid the snowy peaks, a figure moved swiftly, their aura slightly disordered. Looking closely, it was none other than Yan Shaozhe.
The Titan Snow Demon King's strength was comparable to Yan Shaozhe's. No matter how they fought, neither could gain a real advantage. Ultimately, after one decisive strike, the Titan Snow Demon King chose to retreat, unwilling to waste more time on Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe did not immediately pursue but hurriedly activated his primal soul power to communicate through the feather he had left for Huo Yuhao. What puzzled him, however, was that the Feather of Light seemed disturbed by some unknown force, causing his perception to go awry; he mistakenly searched in three wrong locations consecutively.
Only after the feather's signal stabilized did he resume his search. If nothing went wrong, this should finally be the correct direction.
Outside, the howling cold wind could not affect the interior of the cave in the slightest.
Endless streams of jade-green light spread across the space.
The Ice Emperor's main body had completely vanished from the ground, while behind Huo Yuhao, a light projection of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion slowly appeared.
Eventually, the light receded into Huo Yuhao's body. On his back, however, a vividly lifelike pattern emerged. This pattern was none other than the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion itself, like a tattoo.
After flickering a few times, the pattern slowly disappeared. At that moment, Huo Yuhao abruptly opened his eyes; the deep blue in his gaze shifted to gold, then instantly to jade green.
The three colors alternated, giving a strange, uncanny feeling.
"Success."
The excited voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang out, awakening Huo Yuhao's consciousness.
"Ice… how do you feel?"
"Fine, just a bit tired," replied the Ice Emperor weakly. Even with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's assistance, this fusion had been quite taxing.
"Yuhao, take a look at your second Martial Soul," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said cheerfully.
Huo Yuhao nodded silently, then stood. A thought ran through his mind, and a blood-red spirit ring suffused with terrifying ferocity slowly rose. Its noble light radiated, filled with extreme cold, and an overwhelming majesty spread out.
This was far stronger than a simulated spirit ring of a hundred thousand-year level.
No—more precisely, it was a vicious beast spirit ring of a 400,000-year level.
On the blood-red surface, four golden streaks marked the ring, each representing 100,000 years of cultivation.
Originally, the Ice Emperor had not reached 400,000 years, but Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gave a final push, forcibly raising the Ice Emperor's spirit ring age to 400,000 years.
Though it was just one extra golden streak, the effect was immense.
However, there was a drawback: Huo Yuhao obviously could not fully wield the power of this ring yet; at most, he could only utilize it at the ten-thousand-year level.
Upon activating the ring, Huo Yuhao simultaneously summoned the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul. A magnificent scorpion projection appeared behind him, instantly emitting a cold aura that enveloped his entire body. In an instant, a jade-green light shone in his eyes.
Meanwhile, his arms underwent a peculiar transformation, resembling diamond armor—crystal-clear, dotted with small green particles, shimmering with cold light.
"Boom!"
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao punched the nearby ice wall. A deafening roar sounded as the wall—previously sturdy enough to withstand top-tier Beast Soul Masters—cracked into countless fissures, like a spiderweb.
"If I had this power earlier, I could've ripped Dai Huabin apart alive," Huo Yuhao's heart burned with excitement. "Thanks, Tianmeng bro, Ice Emperor."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiled in satisfaction. "You are my host. The stronger you are, the better it benefits me. We help each other."
The Ice Emperor, unlike in the original story where she slept, let out a light laugh. "Don't disappoint me."
"I promise, you won't regret helping me today," Huo Yuhao said solemnly. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and asked, "By the way, Ice Emperor, can you summon the Ice Bear King?"
"What do you mean?" The Ice Emperor was momentarily stunned.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly explained Snow Emperor's potential human transformation and that Huo Yuhao could perceive certain heavenly signs using his spirit eyes.
The Ice Emperor's heart shook, disbelief on her face. "You're saying the Snow Emperor is undergoing a human transformation? And humans have taken notice?"
"Yes," Huo Yuhao replied gravely. "If my perception is correct, the Snow Emperor may be in danger. Please believe me; I'm not making this up."
"Yuhao, leave the cave immediately. Tianmeng, help me transmit a mental signal to Little White so it can rush to the Snow Emperor's secluded place," said the Ice Emperor. She didn't doubt Huo Yuhao and understood that the Snow Emperor would be extremely vulnerable during transformation, with only self-destruction as defense. Any human intrusion now would be catastrophic.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded without hesitation, gaining favor with the Ice Emperor.
With the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao was no longer affected by the extreme northern cold, as if he had become one with the land.
Stepping onto the clearing outside, he looked up. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately merged her spiritual power with the Ice Emperor's. Using Huo Yuhao's spirit eyes, the Ice Emperor shot a jade-green light beam into the sky, reaching thousands of meters before blasting off in a certain direction.
Huo Yuhao exhaled. Though weaker than the Titan Snow Demon King, the Ice Bear King, furious, could certainly contend with it.
In the Ice Bear King's mind, the Snow Emperor held a place akin to a mother. With the Ice Bear King's help, perhaps the Snow Emperor would remain safe.
Huo Yuhao was still puzzled: why had the Starlord Empire royal family gone to the extreme north with the Sealing God Platform to capture the Snow Emperor?
How did they know the Snow Emperor's secluded location? How did they know the timing of her transformation? Most importantly, why were they certain she would choose human transformation over reaching seventy thousand years of cultivation?
You call that coincidence? Huo Yuhao absolutely didn't believe it.
Carrying a Sealing God Platform clearly indicated they were targeting a transforming soul beast intentionally.
Tourism in the extreme north? Quite the unique choice of destination.
Only a person below Sealed Douluo rank couldn't even enter the core area of the extreme north.
Huo Yuhao suspected the Starlord Empire royal family had some special means. They didn't know they were capturing the Snow Emperor—they assumed it was some ten-thousand-year soul beast. The claim in the original story about a soul master helping them catch it for auction was nonsense. Selling the Snow Emperor embryo was just a lure for Mingde Hall to purchase and attract top forces to interfere. Clearly, a long-term plan.
Huo Yuhao recalled from Shrek's library that a ten-thousand-year soul beast can prepare for human transformation in a maximum of half a month, sometimes even a day. The Snow Emperor was likely taking the longer route. He didn't know how far along she was.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, a warm sensation emanated from his chest. Huo Yuhao reached in and pulled out a golden feather.
Curious, he saw it flickering. His gaze shifted sharply as he hurriedly used extreme ice-elemental soul power to break the protective energy within the feather.
Perhaps his teacher could track him using it. If so, Huo Yuhao would have an excuse: the Feather of Light could resist three attacks.
Relieved, he noted the Ice Emperor's concern in the Spirit Sea. She had realized why Huo Yuhao only revealed the Snow Emperor's situation now: fearing she might break free to help. She could no longer go to the Ice God Canyon herself.
"Sorry, Ice…," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said apologetically.
"Don't worry. If I were you, I'd hide it too. But allowing me to alert Little White counts as helping," replied the Ice Emperor with a sigh.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face changed slightly upon sensing the Feather of Light. "Yuhao, your teacher has arrived."
Indeed, on the snowfield, Huo Yuhao realized his teacher could locate him via the feather. Fortunately, he had erased the three protective charges in advance.
He hid in the cave. Regarding the second Martial Soul, he planned an excuse: a nearly dying Ice Jade Scorpion had appeared after a windstorm; he finished it off and absorbed its spirit ring. With simulated spirit techniques, the forty-thousand-year ring would be masked.
Half a minute later, in the raging blizzard, a golden light shot through the snow and landed outside Huo Yuhao's hiding spot.
"Yuhao."
Yan Shaozhe's soul power called out anxiously.
"Clatter."
Suddenly, a noise responded. "Teacher, I'm here."
A figure dashed out of the cave.
Yan Shaozhe froze, seeing Huo Yuhao's tattered clothing and bloodied body—obviously battered by the snowstorm.
"This kid's fierce. I like it," the Ice Emperor remarked.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "???"
"Yuhao." Yan Shaozhe instantly arrived, giving him a healing pill and wrapping him in soul power to resist the wind and snow.
"You've got quite the luck," Yan Shaozhe said with relief.
After taking the pill, Huo Yuhao stabilized. Actually, he had inflicted superficial injuries on himself inside the cave. The torn clothes were consistent with the long snowstorm journey.
"Teacher, I'm fine. Not only that, I have a second Martial Soul now."
Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow. "Second Martial Soul? Which spirit beast?"
Huo Yuhao explained about the Feather of Light and the near-dead Ice Jade Scorpion he absorbed, displaying the light projection behind him.
Yan Shaozhe, unaware of the distinction, assumed it was the same. He smiled broadly. "Excellent! Extreme ice-elemental Martial Soul now, huh?"
"Yes," Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly.
"Blessing in disguise," Yan Shaozhe felt relieved. "Alright, let's prepare to leave. This isn't a place to linger. We encountered the Titan Snow Demon King; better not risk the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion either. With my strength, we'd be unlucky if a fight broke out."
Huo Yuhao's gaze flickered—he mentally noted the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was in his Spirit Sea, watching Yan Shaozhe.
"Indeed, my Ice… fame spreads far," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiled.
The Ice Emperor glared at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm; he immediately fell silent.
Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to leave with Huo Yuhao, six figures suddenly flew from distant peaks with a determined objective.
With Huo Yuhao's permission, the Ice Emperor and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could observe using his eyes. The Ice Emperor said grimly, "These people are heading to Ice God Canyon, Yuhao. They are likely the ones troubling the Snow Emperor."
"Please help. I'm afraid Little White can't handle them alone," Huo Yuhao said, staring at the six rapidly moving figures, debating whether to assist the Snow Emperor. He had already asked the Ice Emperor to alert the Ice Bear King, which was sufficient.
"Help or not?" Huo Yuhao paused.
He wasn't strong enough; mostly it relied on his teacher. But earlier, he had gotten his teacher into trouble…
Yan Shaozhe frowned. "They're all Sealed Douluos, not here for spirit rings. What's their purpose?"
The extreme north was restricted; today, six Sealed Douluos appeared simultaneously.
Yan Shaozhe didn't want to get involved further. Once the six flew away, he planned to take Huo Yuhao and leave.
"Teacher, wait."
Huo Yuhao's expression shifted; he decided to help.
"What's up?" Yan Shaozhe asked.
Huo Yuhao devised an excuse. "After last contact with the divine beast, I sensed a special phenomenon. Their destination likely involves a transforming soul beast. Can we follow?"
"Understood. I know it's dangerous, but perhaps we gain great benefit," Huo Yuhao added, performing a disciple salute to request Yan Shaozhe's assistance.
In the Spirit Sea, the Ice Emperor's gaze softened—not romantic, but grateful.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes were deep; he shook his head resignedly. "Taking you as my disciple is exhausting. No time to waste. Let's go; I also want to see what these six are up to."
Huo Yuhao lifted his head, but before he could thank him, Yan Shaozhe grabbed him. In a flash, they transformed into golden light and flew off.
Yan Shaozhe didn't doubt Huo Yuhao. Though he saw the divine beast touch Huo Yuhao's brow, he wasn't sure if Huo Yuhao had gained some ability. This time, he would follow cautiously—six Sealed Douluos were formidable.
They easily outran the six in speed and trailed behind.
Passing through the perilous core of the extreme north, Huo Yuhao saw many soul beasts over fifty thousand years old, including some ten-thousand-year-level creatures.
Finally, after traversing snowy peaks, a breathtaking landmark appeared: a semi-circular flat area several thousand meters wide, with smooth icy ground reflecting dazzling ice-blue light like a massive sapphire.
Cold streams rose from the ground, carried away by gentle winds.
Strikingly, unlike the rest of the extreme north's ferocious blizzards, the closer to Ice God Canyon, the calmer the weather—serene like post-storm sunshine.
In the center of the open plain stood a towering pyramid-shaped peak. In its middle was a cleft like a line split by a blade—a "Skyline" passage.
Behind this peak were more massive mountains, forming a contiguous range.
Ice God Canyon was the sanctum for all soul beasts in the extreme north. Legends say the Ice God ascended from here.
Whether the Ice God truly existed is unknown. No soul beast would dare enter without the Snow Emperor's summons. Intrusion without permission meant breaking the rules—exile from the extreme north.
With no cover, Yan Shaozhe stopped Huo Yuhao at the boundary of the snowy peaks, observing the six from afar instead of approaching the canyon entrance.
The six hesitated, sensing something. They did not immediately enter.
"Old Xu, what now?" a mature, beautiful woman asked respectfully, looking at a slightly hunched elder.
The elder raised his hand; starlight flickered faintly. After careful sensing, he remained calm. "Let's not enter yet. There's a special sealing soul force outside. Entering now may alert it."
"Then we just wait?" asked a neatly groomed man in elegant attire—Hu Yaozong, the only soul master among the six, level eight. He was once a trusted aide to the previous Sun Moon Empire emperor. After a coup, he fled with some royal soul guidance devices, including the Sealing God Platform.
The hunched elder was Xu Shengzu, one of the two Sealed Douluos of the Starlord family.
"Wait. Once the ten-thousand-year soul beast begins transformation, the sealing force will weaken, then we can enter," Xu Shengzu said. His cloudy eyes glimmered with excitement.
Finally, after years, the Starlord family would witness a transforming ten-thousand-year soul beast.
The others nodded in agreement. The outer flatland was calm, slightly warmer than the surrounding snowfields. They were comfortable waiting.
Unbeknownst to them, two pairs of eyes watched from afar.
"An Ice Deer Douluo from the Starlord Empire," Yan Shaozhe noted, recognizing the mature, beautiful woman. He was surprised.
"So it's the Starlord Empire," Huo Yuhao thought. The original story claiming a divine
