Chapter 118: Snow Empress’s Summoning Order, Myriad Beasts Pay Homage!
Outer ring of the Extreme North.
Huo Yuhao and Su Tong’s figures stepped out from a spatial vortex.
What met their eyes was actually a lush forest, with tall trees freely stretching their branches high, slowly expanding their growth rings over time.
The dense green leaves were as large as palms, and under the direct sunlight, every vein on the leaves was clearly visible, showcasing the pulse of life and emitting a green light belonging to life.
Huo Yuhao deactivated the Silkworm Cocoon, stretched out his hand to sense the surrounding temperature, and felt the long-lost natural warmth.
“The Extreme North has a place like this?”
“The temperature is even up to twenty degrees!”
In the Extreme North, a place at the world’s extreme point, there was actually a forest that could maintain a temperature of twenty degrees, which truly surprised Huo Yuhao.
Su Tong also widened her ice-blue eyes, her small mouth slightly open, and from the child’s expression, it was clear she had never been to this forest either.
“This is the North Wind Forest.”
“There’s a Crimson Spirit Warm Jade vein underground here, along with a large number of Fire Crystal iron mines.”
“At the very bottom, there’s even a lava river where quite a few Fire Attribute Soul Beasts live, and there are also a few Beast Kings.”
“All these factors keep this place in a warm climate year-round, but Soul Beasts of the Extreme North don’t like it here much; we prefer low temperatures.”
“So, this area is generally a foothold for incoming Soul Beasts.”
Snow Empress’s cold voice resounded in the Sea of Consciousness, carefully explaining this magnificent forest.
Huo Yuhao and Su Tong touched the branches of these trees, then walked through the forest toward the Extreme North Plateau.
“This forest is only this big, and there are actually Beast Kings here?”
In Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Power perception, this forest was probably only one-sixth the size of the Star Dou Great Forest’s outer ring.
Such a place could actually nurture Beast Kings? The pitiful Disaster Mountain Range was so vast yet had not a single Beast King.
Snow Empress continued:
“There are indeed two Beast Kings.”
“One is a 150,000-year Crimson Jade Ice Toad. This Soul Beast is quite unique—a top-tier Ice Attribute Soul Beast, yet its eyes are Fire Attribute.”
“The combination of ice and fire gives birth to a special cold toxin whose potency ranks in the top three in the Extreme North!”
“The other is the Howling Wind Wolf King, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.”
“It’s an incoming Soul Beast. It was gravely injured in its early years and I saved it, so it has stayed in the North Wind Forest ever since.”
“Both of these Beast Kings are willing to obey my commands.”
Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully and continued asking Snow Empress:
“From the looks of it, you have quite a high level of control over the Extreme North!”
“I always thought you could only influence the Extreme North Core Area.”
A flash of pride passed through Snow Empress’s sky-blue eyes. As the King of the Extreme North, her control over the Extreme North could outstrip Di Tian by hundreds of streets.
“Don’t worry about that. The entire Extreme North, from the outer ring to the core, all obeys my commands.”
“In terms of control over the territory, I’m only stronger than Di Tian!”
While conversing with Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao and Su Tong left the North Wind Forest.
With the Lord of the Extreme North personally guiding them, the two took the shortest route and wouldn’t need much time.
“Ahead is the Extreme North Plateau, which is the mixed zone of the Extreme North. The area is vast, with many Soul Beast races inhabiting it.”
“Use your spatial Soul Skill to go straight to the core area. Once I issue the summoning order, they will naturally come to pay homage.”
Snow Empress had Huo Yuhao use Kamui to cross the mixed zone directly and head to the Extreme North Core Area.
Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong beside him and said:
“Next, we won’t walk; we’ll go straight to the Extreme North Core Area via Space Teleportation.”
Su Tong put on her white furry hat and nodded lightly.
“Mm.”
As the diamond-shaped pattern in his right eye began to rotate, the two disappeared into the air, leaving only the wind and snow to drift freely in the sky.
In the Sea of Consciousness, Snow Empress used the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s Spiritual Power to mark a location for Huo Yuhao to head to.
Soon, the two successfully arrived at a towering mountain peak in the Extreme North Core Area.
This mountain peak was entirely formed of ice, its shape resembling a gigantic throne.
“Yu Hao, this is the Ice God Throne.”
“It’s the core of the Extreme North Core.”
“Legend has it that the Ice God ascended to godhood here, though I never found any traces related to the god.”
“It might really just be a legend.”
“However, this Ice God Throne is still considered the symbol of the King of the Extreme North. I will proclaim to the Extreme North from here next!”
As the core of the Extreme North Core, the temperature here was already approaching Extreme Ice.
Fortunately, both Huo Yuhao and Su Tong now possessed Extreme Ice Martial Souls and were unaffected by the low temperature. Instead, their Martial Souls emitted joyful emotions, autonomously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.
“So, what are you going to do next?”
Snow Empress looked at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of Consciousness and said:
“My Origin is all in the Soul Bone. I can’t access it now. I need to borrow your Spiritual Origin to manifest my form in the outside world.”
Upon hearing that her Spiritual Origin was needed, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled awkwardly, scratched its head, and seemed a bit embarrassed.
“Well, bro definitely doesn’t mind, but bro’s Spiritual Origin isn’t under my control.”
“During the fusion process with Yu Hao, it was snatched by that Spiritual Eye projection up there.”
“You have to ask it.”
“Haha! Ahem.”
The Golden Tortoise couldn’t help laughing out loud but held it back under the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s dangerous gaze.
“No problem, Snow Empress. Use it as you like. I’ve already given you permission via the Spiritual Eye.”
Huo Yuhao’s voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness. The Spiritual Eye, as his innate Martial Soul, was inherently part of him, so he naturally had complete control over it.
The Spiritual Eye projection in the sky emitted a faint light, and a streak of stellar color connected Snow Empress and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s Spiritual Origin.
Only at this moment did Snow Empress truly feel how vast the Spiritual Origin of a Million Year Soul Beast was—nearly three times her own.
At the very least, in terms of quantity, she truly couldn’t compare.
“Thank you.”
Snow Empress drew upon this Spiritual Origin to begin separating her consciousness from Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness.
Under the Spiritual Eye’s deliberate release, ten strands of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s Spiritual Origin transformed into golden orbs that emerged from the position of the Eye of Fate.
Beside them, Su Tong watched as ten golden orbs radiating brilliant light suddenly appeared around her teacher’s body.
The energy contained within those orbs was extremely vast; just a light probe with Spiritual Power caused Su Tong’s Sea of Consciousness to tremble!
Then, the ten golden orbs converged into one. Amid golden light that nearly overshadowed the wind and snow, a graceful figure emerged from the radiance.
She was an exquisitely beautiful woman with white long hair and sky-blue eyes.
Su Tong clearly felt her Martial Soul rejoicing uncontrollably, automatically possessing her as her black waist-length hair turned pure white.
Her ice-blue eyes widened slightly. The only one who could attract her Martial Soul like this was probably the legendary Snow Empress.
Su Tong knew her teacher had a good relationship with the King of the Extreme North, but she hadn’t expected her to be inside her teacher!
Snow Empress glanced at Su Tong, a gentle smile appearing on her face as she lightly stroked her head and said:
“I didn’t expect a human to awaken as an Ice Sky Snow Woman.”
“And you’re his disciple. Perhaps this is fate. In the future, if there’s anything you don’t understand about cultivation, you can ask him directly.”
“If he can’t answer, I can teach you.”
“I’m now considered part of him, so in a sense, you’re also my student.”
Su Tong didn’t quite understand why older people liked to pat her head, though she quite liked it herself.
Hearing Snow Empress’s words, Su Tong realized she seemed to have gained another teacher out of nowhere.
Huo Yuhao was a bit dissatisfied and said to Snow Empress:
“Hey, hey, Su Tong is my disciple. You can’t poach her right in front of me like this.”
Seeing Huo Yuhao’s protective behavior, the corners of Snow Empress’s mouth curved up slightly, revealing a smile.
“Next, I’m going to issue the proclamation!”
As soon as the words fell, Snow Empress focused her gaze and used the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s Million Year Spiritual Origin to release her majesty across the entire Extreme North.
All Soul Beasts in the Extreme North knew what this majesty from the Ice God Throne meant—it was the King of the Extreme North issuing the Summoning Order!
In the polar day sky of the Extreme North, waves of white ripples emanated, spreading from Snow Empress across the entire Extreme North!
The sky at that moment was like a startled sea surface. Lower-cultivation Soul Beasts below prostrated themselves under these waves, receiving the information.
In the Ice Scorpion Clan’s territory of the Extreme North, a Soul Beast one and a half meters long with a body as beautiful and exquisite as green diamond suddenly raised its yellow diamond-like eyes.
“Xue’er?!”
“This is the Summoning Order!?”
Ice Empress didn’t hesitate at all and soared into the air toward the Ice God Throne.
Then three Hundred Thousand Year level Ice Scorpions flew into the sky, looking at each other, unsure what to do.
“Let’s go!”
“The common lord of the Extreme North has issued the order. We’ll go with the empress!”
One of the Ice Scorpions immediately followed Ice Empress, with the other two close behind.
Titan Snow Demon Clan of the Extreme North.
A majestic giant over 120 meters tall, sitting in a mountain range, suddenly raised its head, then pressed against the surrounding peaks and stood up amid a massive roar.
“That’s?!”
“Summoning Order!”
He then looked at the surrounding Titan Snow Demons and shouted sternly:
“Titan Snow Demon Clan, all over Fifty Thousand Years follow me to the Ice God Throne!”
Then the Titan Snow Demon King strode across the Extreme North frozen plains, leading dozens of Titan Snow Demons toward the Ice God Throne.
These giants were all over 100 meters tall, and as they ran, the earth emitted groans of unbearable weight.
Ice Bear Clan of the Extreme North. Amid the trembling gazes of the surrounding Ice Bears, a 15-meter-tall giant Ice Bear King propped itself up.
“Snow Empress!”
Then, ignoring its clansmen, it charged toward the Ice God Throne at full speed, like a loaded dump truck.
In addition, large numbers of Extreme North Soul Beasts surged from the outer ring, mixed, and core areas of the Extreme North toward the Ice God Throne.
These beast tides swept across the entire Extreme North Plateau like waves!
According to Tang Jia San Shao’s setting, the Extreme North has more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts than the Star Dou Great Forest—this is written in the original work. Over a hundred Titan Snow Demons over 100 meters tall appear at once in the original, with the Titan Snow Demon King only 120 meters; it’s data written with the feet.
At this rate, the Extreme North really has quite a few high-level Soul Beasts.
