Huo Yuhao stood atop the Ice God Throne, the howling wind whipping his black trench coat, the hem rustling in the breeze.
He was like a black shooting star against the pure white sky of the far north.
The icy wind carried snowflakes and ice shards, but these were intercepted by his telekinetic powers, affecting neither Huo Yuhao nor Su Tong.
Huo Yuhao stood with his hands in his pockets, his black, tousled hair swept back, his gaze calmly fixed on the white expanse of the far north plateau and the sky distorted by white ripples.
The sky was like a sea, and the Snow Empress was the undercurrent stirring up its waves.
"Ah Xue, is this alright?"
Huo Yuhao looked up at the Snow Empress in the sky and asked.
Upon hearing the address "Ah Xue," the Snow Empress raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, but did not correct Huo Yuhao's form of address.
In the foreseeable future, they will live together for a long time. Since that's the case, there's no need to worry too much about trivial matters like how they address each other; let him be happy.
"Yes, the summons has been issued; we just need to wait."
"This summons only summons soul beasts with cultivation levels of ten thousand years."
"Soul beasts below ten thousand years are not qualified to enter the core area of the far north; they will be torn apart by the cold winds."
"And I believe no ten-thousand-year soul beast will disobey my order."
When Xue Di said the last sentence, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her beautiful and aloof face full of confidence.
Su Tong, who was beside her, was no longer too reserved after Xue Di's earlier conversation.
"Um, Sister Xue Di, really not?"
Xue Di lowered her head, looking at Su Tong with gentle eyes, and then said the most terrifying thing in the gentlest words.
"Those who dared to disobey are now in the icy sea."
"Perhaps we can find them in the bellies of some fish."
Huo Yuhao was speechless upon hearing this. He had wondered why Xue Di was so confident.
It turned out that the soul beasts that dared to rebel in the past had been thrown into the icy sea to make their nests.

In this respect, Xue Di is indeed different from Di Tian. Di Tian, to put it bluntly, is like Hiruzen Sarutobi of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Indecisive, despite possessing overwhelming strength that places him at the absolute pinnacle of this world, his habitat is still being slowly eroded by humans.
Just how strong is Di Tian? It's safe to say that even if all the level 95 and above powerhouses in the world joined forces, they might not be able to kill him.
Instead, they would most likely be sent to meet Tang Sanzang (Buddha Tang) with a single Dragon God Claw.
Di Tian is a level above everyone else in this era without battle armor!
Even so, there are still many rebellious elements within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xiong Jun needs no introduction; he's a fierce bear who dares to fight Di Tian head-on.
The Ten Thousand Demon King is the best of the best; without Di Tian's notice, he directly took control of a third of the plants in the Star Dou Great Forest.
He almost stole Di Tian's entire home!
The Golden Tortoiseshell is no pushover either. Relying on the concealment of its luck power and its status as a luck-based soul beast, it was certain that Di Tian wouldn't kill it. It
directly went and secretly raided the core of the Lake of Life.
That thing was key to healing the Silver Dragon King; touching it was tantamount to directly groping Di Tian's crotch.
And then there was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, his most beloved child, practically treated like a daughter. After undergoing attribute exchange with humans, it was nourished by the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the end, it even gave its fortune power to Huo Yuhao in the original story.
These soul beasts only acted so recklessly because they knew Di Tian wouldn't really kill them.
In the far north, the Snow Empress wouldn't tolerate such behavior; she would have immediately used her Three Absolute Techniques and thrown them into the icy sea to feed the fish.
"Sister Snow Empress is amazing,"
Su Tong shrank back, continuing to look at the distant, white boundary of heaven and earth beside Huo Yuhao.
Soon, Huo Yuhao detected the strange phenomenon through his spiritual eyes.
A black line suddenly appeared on the seemingly continuous expanse of heaven and earth in the distance.
Then, the rumbling sound of the earth trembling finally reached the Ice God Throne!
The black line, like a tsunami, pressed down on Huo Yuhao and the others with the force of destruction.
Not only in front of them, but also behind, to the left, and to the right, there was a black line—thousands of high-level soul beasts from the far north!
They crushed all obstacles in sight at incredible speed, all to reach the throne of the Ice God and pay homage to their king of the far north.
Su Tong's icy blue eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth agape as she swallowed a mouthful of snow, nearly choking.
This was the first time she had witnessed such a spectacular sight. Rare spirit beasts, practically impossible to find in the far north, were now appearing in droves, seemingly from a single rock!
"Those are Mirror Beasts?!"
"And Ice Dragons! Snowstorm Dragons! Mystic Ice Dragons!"
"Those in the sky are Ice Phoenixes! Night Birds!"
Super spirit beasts, usually only seen in spirit beast catalogs, were now appearing in droves.
Any one of these spirit beasts could easily spark a frenzy among ice-attribute spirit masters across the entire continent!
Ice-attribute spirit rings were incredibly difficult to obtain; aside from the far north, ice-attribute spirit beasts were rare.
Even in the Star Dou Great Forest, they were hard to find.
The only way to hunt ice-attribute spirit rings was to come to the far north, but the extreme cold almost completely blocked the advance of outside spirit masters.
Even Title Douluos found it difficult to venture deep into the far north, and even if they did, they had to proceed with extreme caution.
This was because the number of 100,000-year-old spirit beasts here was far greater than in the Star Dou Great Forest!
Just like what Huo Yuhao had just experienced, a forest located on the outskirts of the far north was inhabited by two Beast Kings!
Because the Star Dou Great Forest had been cultivated by outside Soul Masters for many years, traces of 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts could only be found near its core.
The title of the number one Soul Beast Gathering Place was both an honor and a curse.
Huo Yuhao patted Su Tong's shoulder beside him, seeing her usually expressionless face now showing shock, and said softly,
"Don't get excited."
"They're just some Soul Beasts; they'll all be part of our family's future strength."
"I'll have Xue Di ask around for you, to find some Soul Bones left in the far north."
"Let's see if we can gather a set of 100,000-year-old ones for you."
Huo Yuhao's voice was completely undisguised. Upon hearing this, Xue Di's sky-blue eyes lowered slightly as she fell into thought.
Then, Xue Di's aloof voice reached Su Tong's ears.
"Soul bones?"
"There are plenty of those. For soul beasts, a piece of ice marrow is more useful."
"I used to collect a lot, I can't even tell the types anymore."
"Have your teacher take you to identify them. Take any that suit you."
"If there aren't any suitable ones, I'll ask various soul beast races. They also preserve soul bones."
"Just ask them for a few."
Su Tong's eyes widened. Soul bones were priceless treasures to her, something every soul master dreamed of.
A suitable high-age soul bone could create a Title Douluo—that's no exaggeration!
It's a fact, and that's why a high-age soul bone could be passed down through a family for a thousand years!
Even Shrek Academy couldn't guarantee that every inner court disciple would have a soul bone.
Now, in the mouths of her teacher and Sister Xue Di, 100,000-year soul bones were like they were wholesale.
Seeing her ignorant expression, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said,
"Just a hundred thousand-year-old soul bone."
"Absorb a few pieces, but remember to save some soul bone slots."
"There are even better ones later."
Huo Yuhao was referring to the true dragon soul bones in the Dragon Tomb, which could be considered the last legacy of the dragon race!
After a while, when the Space Dragon King's divine consciousness was completely obliterated, the three dragon king corpses would belong to Huo Yuhao.
Perhaps he could use these corpses to find the Dragon Tomb on another continent.
That would be the greatest opportunity on the Douluo Continent!
Because the Dragon God's remains, the Ascending Dragon Pillar, the Dragon King's corpse, divine artifacts from the God Realm, and the Fire Dragon King's egg were all there!
