The Proud Snow Empress
Yuhao was not surprised in the slightest by the Ice Empress's attitude.
He naturally knew that the Ice Empress had always harbored special feelings toward the Snow Empress. Unfortunately, the Snow Empress had never responded to those emotions and had always avoided them with her cold and proud temperament.
Shaking his head slightly, Yuhao turned to Di Tian and asked:
"Di Tian, what is the Snow Empress's current condition?"
Di Tian's expression remained solemn.
"The situation is not optimistic. When I intervened, she had already ignited her origin power and was preparing to self-destruct together with those human Titled Douluo."
"I forcefully suppressed and sealed her with my power, which temporarily halted the self-destruction."
He paused before adding gravely:
"But once my power is withdrawn, she will instantly explode. Her origin has already been destabilized."
Yuhao frowned slightly. He had not expected that even after being reborn into embryonic form, the Snow Empress would still choose such a resolute path.
Within his Sea of Spirit, the Ice Empress became anxious.
"Yuhao, you must save her!"
There was no need for the Ice Empress to say more. Yuhao had already decided.
After all, if the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress fused, the Ultimate Ice could evolve further into the Ultimate Ice and Snow. More importantly, the Snow Empress herself was a 700,000-year existence—her foundation was unparalleled.
After gently comforting the Ice Empress, Yuhao looked at Di Tian again.
"Can you allow her to hear me?"
"Of course."
Di Tian nodded slightly. As his dark soul power circulated, the black energy sphere sealing the Snow Empress gradually turned translucent.
Before Yuhao could even speak, a cold voice rang out from within.
"Di Tian, you saved me? Why is there a filthy human standing beside you?"
As two of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, Di Tian and the Snow Empress naturally recognized one another.
The moment she addressed Yuhao in such a tone, Di Tian's golden vertical pupils narrowed sharply. A terrifying aura of ultimate darkness erupted.
"Snow Empress, mind your words. Show respect to the Lord. Otherwise, I will personally send you back to nature."
The Snow Empress was momentarily stunned by Di Tian's reaction. But as the ruler of the Extreme North and leader of the Three Great Kings of the Far North, her pride would not allow her to yield.
She replied coldly:
"What a joke. The mighty Beast God Di Tian bowing to a human?"
Di Tian's aura surged violently. In her current state, he could erase her with a single thought.
However, Yuhao raised his hand calmly.
"Di Tian, step back. I will speak with her."
"Yes, my Lord."
Di Tian withdrew without hesitation.
He was not concerned about danger. The Snow Empress remained completely sealed by his power. Any abnormal movement would be sensed instantly.
Before disappearing, however, he cast her a cold warning glance.
The Snow Empress ignored it outwardly, but inwardly she was deeply shaken.
Who exactly was this human?
Why would Di Tian address him as "Lord" and even threaten to kill her for his sake?
Though they belonged to different factions among soul beasts, they were still on the same side against humanity. Killing one another was never done lightly.
After a moment, she fixed her icy gaze on Yuhao.
"Human. Who are you?"
Yuhao did not answer verbally.
Instead, he released his martial soul.
Behind him, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion—already evolved beyond its original form—manifested, radiating pure Ultimate Ice aura.
The Snow Empress immediately recognized the familiar presence.
"This… the Ice Empress's aura?"
At the same time, a voice trembled within her consciousness.
"Snow Empress… it's me."
The Snow Empress's expression changed drastically.
"Ice Empress?! How could you… what happened?"
The Ice Empress then explained everything—her impending tribulation, her decision to place her hope in humanity, Tianmeng Iceworm's God-making plan, and Yuhao's unprecedented potential.
When the Snow Empress heard of the plan to create a god, even she, proud as she was, could not conceal her shock.
She looked at Yuhao carefully.
"So this is the human you chose?"
From appearance alone, he seemed nothing extraordinary.
Yet recalling Di Tian's attitude, she could not help but ask:
"Why does Di Tian call you Lord?"
Yuhao's patience began to wear thin.
He understood her hatred for humanity—after all, she had been captured and nearly reduced to a tool.
But understanding did not mean indulgence.
"This does not concern you," Yuhao replied coldly.
Truthfully, with the powers he now possessed, the Snow Empress was not indispensable. Whether for Ultimate Ice or powerful abilities, he had other paths.
It was merely that fate had placed this opportunity before him.
The Snow Empress's eyes flashed with anger.
"How dare a mere human speak to me this way? Do you think Di Tian's protection means I cannot kill you?"
Yuhao suddenly laughed.
"Kill me? Snow Empress, you overestimate yourself."
His aura shifted abruptly.
His deep eyes turned violet-gold, and vast spiritual power erupted outward like a tidal wave.
Beneath his feet rose one white soul ring and two black soul rings—his original configuration.
Then—
The green-gold tattoo on his back glowed brilliantly.
His soul ring transformed into a red ring streaked with four golden patterns—the symbol of immense power.
Dual Ultimate attributes surged outward, pressing down upon the space itself.
Even the Snow Empress felt her heart tremble at that pure, flawless energy.
But it did not end there.
When Yuhao opened his eyes again, they had turned gray.
A terrifying power of consciousness radiated forth—vast, ancient, transcendent.
The red ring shifted once more, turning into a gray soul ring—something that should not exist in this world.
"This is impossible…"
The Snow Empress's composure shattered.
Before she could recover, Yuhao's aura changed yet again.
The gray faded into brilliant gold.
His pupils became vertical slits.
Golden dragon scales spread across his skin, noble and domineering.
Blazing golden soul rings manifested one after another.
A dragon's roar resounded from his bloodline.
Roar!
Within a ten-mile radius, all sound fell silent.
This was the bloodline pressure of the Golden Dragon King—once comparable to a God King.
Yuhao's golden eyes locked onto the Snow Empress.
"Now tell me," he said slowly, "how exactly do you intend to kill me?"
The Snow Empress was utterly speechless.
Within this young human's body coexisted Ultimate Ice, divine consciousness power, and the supreme Golden Dragon bloodline.
It was beyond reason.
At that moment, a gentle spiritual ripple flowed through Yuhao's mind—it was Tianmeng Iceworm.
"Yuhao, calm down. She simply doesn't understand."
The Ice Empress also spoke urgently:
"She is not our enemy. Please do not act."
Yuhao snorted coldly.
"For your sake, Ice Empress, I will give her one chance."
"But if she continues to speak of killing me, I will show no mercy."
The Ice Empress had never seen such a domineering side of Yuhao.
Yet she also understood.
Since merging with him, since witnessing him suppress the Golden Dragon King's remnant will through sheer determination, she knew this human would undoubtedly ascend to godhood.
Compared to that will—
Even the proud Snow Empress was insignificant.
