Chapter 14 How about we go find the Snow Empress?
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then he sensed his Ice Martial Soul and found that the Ice Emperor's soul could only serve as nearly half of his Ice Martial Soul.
Faced with this unexpected situation, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be that he would have to find someone similar to Hyotei to be his intelligence soul ring?
Tianmeng never expected that the mighty Second Heavenly King of the Far North couldn't even fully awaken Huo Yuhao's Ice Martial Soul. How incredibly powerful must this being be? Could it be that they really need to find another Ice Soul Beast to complete the awakening?
After being thrown out of the Second Sea of Consciousness, Hyotei was forced to transform into human form, a "side effect" of ascending to the Palace. At this moment, she had the same loli-like figure as Tenmu, but her dark green twin ponytails gave her a unique charm.
However, this little girl was not in a good mood at the moment. Her beautiful, crystal-yellow eyes were so gloomy that they seemed to drip water. First, her soul bone was modified by magic, and then she could not fully act as Huo Yuhao's ice martial soul. She was a dignified 390,000 years old, no, now she was 400,000 years old.
Doesn't this 400,000-year-old ferocious beast have any dignity?
Although her soul underwent significant changes after ascending to the palace, she was still somewhat resentful.
Especially since she felt inferior to Tianmeng, after all, in terms of merit, Tianmeng came first and she came last. The Ice Martial Soul awakening went wrong, and she always had a sense of self-blame that haunted her, making it difficult for her to calm down for a long time.
Ah, that damn competitive spirit of lolis!
"I say, why don't we go find the Snow Empress?" After careful consideration, the Ice Empress expressed her idea. Her beautiful, crystal-yellow eyes looked at Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng with utmost seriousness, without the slightest hint of joking.
The Ice Empress had her own considerations in proposing this idea. On the Douluo Continent, the only Ice Soul Beast more powerful than her was the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. If the Snow Empress was included, Huo Yuhao's Ice Martial Soul would definitely be able to awaken successfully!
Besides, the Snow Empress's time is running out; the Ice Empress is almost certain that she won't be able to survive the 700,000-year tribulation. If that's the case, considering their long-standing friendship, even if she refuses, she should let them leave safely.
Tianmeng carefully considered Bingdi's suggestion. She still had a way to save her own life, and if they really didn't show any mercy, she was confident she could successfully escape with Huo Yuhao. However, this life-saving method was only used once; was it really appropriate to use it here?
She didn't know the answer, so she looked at Huo Yuhao and then explained her plan, "Yuhao, this decision is yours. I can guarantee that even if the Snow Empress is ruthless, I can still get you out of the far north unharmed. However, I can only use this life-saving measure once."
Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought under the watchful eyes of the two little girls. The risk was great, but if successful, the rewards would be phenomenal. If he didn't go to find the Snow Empress, then the only other option was the Water Dragon King's remains beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
But this is a hundred times harder than seeing the Snow Emperor!
Not to mention that he has no connection with the dragon race now, the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King might directly kill him as an intruder. The group of 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well are not something he can touch now.
That place was the back garden of Buddha Tang, and once inside, it was hard to guarantee that one wouldn't be directly exposed to Buddha Tang's watchful eye.
Therefore, even if he doesn't go to see the Snow Empress now, he will eventually have to go in the future. As long as he wants to awaken his martial soul, he can't escape it.
Having grasped the crux of the problem, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated. He looked at Tianmeng, then at Bingdi, and nodded firmly, saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained! If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight! I must pay this price, and I must seize this opportunity! You two! Please lend me a hand!" After saying this, Huo Yuhao bowed deeply to Tianmeng and Bingdi.
Having received an answer, how could they be indecisive? The two little girls exchanged a glance and nodded to each other silently.
"I'll contact the Snow Empress directly. We'll just wait here." The Ice Empress nodded to Huo Yuhao, who immediately understood her meaning and activated the power of his torso bones.
Using Huo Yuhao's actions as a guide, Bingdi skillfully mobilized her own aura from the soul bone. Then, the emerald light transformed into a slender beam that shot northward, heading straight for the Ice God Valley in the far north core area!
Ice God Valley, the core area of the far north.
The valley, sculpted by ice and snow, is devoid of any other color; snow white and ice blue are its only two hues, a masterpiece created by the heavens and earth. The temperature here remains below -200 degrees Celsius year-round, making it uninhabitable not only for humans but also for the vast majority of spirit beasts.
But in this very place, a stunningly beautiful woman was gazing blankly at the snow lotus beside the icy spring.
Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down to her waist, her azure eyes were indifferent and haughty, her slender, jade-like legs were almost pale, and her bare feet were as delicate and beautiful as if carved from white jade. Her beauty was otherworldly, untouched by the mundane world. A pure white dress enveloped her, like clouds veiling the moon at night, revealing her silhouette in the hazy light.
Yet, such beauty went unappreciated; only the dead had ever seen her. The beauty of the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, was beyond anyone's reach!
She reached out and gently touched the snow lotus, but her eyes held a hint of uncertainty. It was truly unbelievable that the usually decisive and ruthless Lord of the Far North would show such an expression.
She hesitated repeatedly, raising and lowering her outstretched hand, then raising it again and again. Finally, as if unwilling to think about these troublesome matters any longer, she lightly touched the air with her bare feet, took graceful steps, and left this troubling place of right and wrong.
Just then, a beam of emerald green light pierced through the clouds above Ice God Valley. She knew it was the aura of the Ice Emperor; something had happened to the Ice Emperor!
In the next instant, a terrifying aura swept across the entire core area of the far north, then continued to spread outwards, eventually covering the entire far north. All the soul beasts of the far north knew that their king was enraged!
From the core circle to the outer edge, from the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King to the ten-year-old Ice Wolf and Arctic Snow Hare, all submitted to the master of this aura. They stopped in their tracks and prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing their respect.
"Ice Emperor, have you gone too far?! The Snow Emperor's aura has swept across the entire far north. Should we run away?" Tianmeng frowned, feeling a sense of unease as she sensed the Snow Emperor's majesty.
"It should be fine, right? Besides, we can't escape now unless you use that life-saving technique right now," Hyotei replied somewhat guiltily.
Huo Yuhao ignored the two little girls. He stood at the entrance of the ice cave, watching the white figure getting closer and closer in the distance, and muttered to himself, "She's here."
