Chapter 121: Extreme North: “we Shall Offer Our Loyalty!”
As the beast tide began to gradually subside, tens of thousands of soul beasts, under the mediation of the various clan beast kings, surprisingly started to line up in orderly fashion.
This gave Huo Yuhao a completely new impression of soul beasts. At least, soul beasts over ten thousand years old could exhibit a certain level of organization under the mediation of beast kings.
Soon, the beast tide completed its lineup by race, and the beast kings from each clan began to arrive before the Ice God Throne.
First was the Ice Empress. She transformed back into human form and stood before the Ice Scorpion Clan.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the members of the Ice Scorpion Clan who had arrived at the Ice God Throne. There were quite a few of them.
The entire Ice Scorpion Clan, aside from the Ice Empress, actually had three hundred thousand year soul beasts!
They should be called Ice Emperor Scorpions?
“Snow Empress, the elite of the Titan Snow Demon Clan have all arrived!”
The Titan Snow Demon King, towering at one hundred twenty meters, strode forward like a towering small mountain with its long legs and knelt on one knee before the Titan Snow Demon Clan.
Its blue eyes gazed at the Snow Empress in the sky with admiration.
Dozens of hundred-meter Titan Snow Demons behind him followed the Titan Snow Demon King and knelt on one knee toward the Snow Empress.
The Ice Empress nearby had twitching eyelids and secretly cursed in her heart: simp.
The Snow Empress nodded in satisfaction. Then, a white giant bear over twenty meters tall pushed through the beast tide and found an open space in front of the Ice God Throne.
“Snow Empress.”
Ice Bear King Xiaobai’s gaze was full of dependence, and his tone carried a hint of coquetry.
The Snow Empress smiled faintly and condensed a giant hand of ice and snow to stroke Xiaobai’s head.
This made the Titan Snow Demon King nearby extremely jealous, wishing he could take its place!
“Clang clang~~”
A crisp and clear cry resounded throughout the Ice God Throne. A beautiful ice-blue figure, surrounded by white ice mist, descended from the sky.
This was an Ice Phoenix! Its three tail feathers seemed to be made of snowflakes, beautiful and moving in form.
This Ice Phoenix emitted a soft white light all over its body, transforming into a beautiful woman with blue long hair, dressed in a white palace gown.
“Snow Empress, the Ice Phoenix Clan obeys the summons!”
This surprised Huo Yuhao a bit. The few Ice Phoenixes that had arrived at the Ice God Throne were actually fierce beasts over two hundred thousand years old.
It seemed their phoenix bloodline was quite pure.
Afterward, the Ice Dragon Clan, Ice Wolf Clan, and Jade Lion Clan each had a beast king come to the Ice God Throne to pay homage.
These were all major soul beast clans of the Extreme North, and many soul beasts from them had come.
There were also some scattered beast kings who had now arrived here. Just as the Snow Empress had said, the entire Extreme North, from the outskirts to the core, obeyed her summons without exception!
The Crimson Jade Ice Toad living in the outer forest and the Howling Wind Wolf King were now standing at the forefront of the left formation in the beast tide.
There was even a hundred thousand year level Mirror Beast standing beside them.
In addition, there were scattered hundred thousand year soul beasts of various races that Huo Yuhao couldn’t name, all kneeling around the Ice God Throne.
Huo Yuhao counted the number of hundred thousand year soul beasts, and it actually exceeded thirty! A total of thirty-five hundred thousand year soul beasts.
The Extreme North truly lived up to being humanity’s forbidden zone! The soul beast races were preserved so intact!
However, although there were many hundred thousand year soul beasts, there weren’t many at the fierce beast level.
Only the Ice Empress, Ice Bear King, Titan Snow Demon King, and Ice Phoenix—four fierce beasts.
In terms of quality, it was much weaker than the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, that side had abundant heavenly materials and earthly treasures, plus an Imperial Beast holding the fort, far surpassing the Extreme North in high-end combat power.
However, if the Extreme North and the Star Dou Great Forest went to war, it was really hard to say who would win or lose.
If it was a home-field battle, the Star Dou Great Forest’s fierce beast big shots would definitely come but never return!
If they fought in an open area outside, it would probably end in mutual destruction, with the Extreme North having a slightly higher chance of losing.
But the Extreme North and Star Dou Great Forest going to war was possible, while the Star Dou Great Forest and Extreme North going to war was unlikely.
The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest were tightly surrounded by human cities centered on Shrek.
They wouldn’t let a single soul beast from the Star Dou Great Forest leave the Heaven Dou Plain alive.
They should think about how to break through humanity’s blockade instead.
After seeing that the hundred thousand year soul beasts of the Extreme North had mostly arrived, the Snow Empress emitted white ice light in the high sky. Her majestic and noble voice reached the ears of the Extreme North beasts.
“I have gathered all the myriad beasts of my Extreme North today to announce an important matter.”
“This matter concerns the future of the Extreme North frozen plains!”
“From today onward, I will step down from the position of King of the Extreme North!”
The Snow Empress’s words carried through the howling cold winds into the ears of the Extreme North myriad beasts.
In an instant, the myriad beasts were in uproar!
Countless soul beasts let out mournful cries, and the thirty-five hundred thousand year soul beasts all shed tears.
In Huo Yuhao’s spiritual power perception, they were all sincere!
Of course, those who weren’t sincere had long been invited out of the ecosystem by the Snow Empress.
“Quiet!!!”
The Ice Empress crossed her arms and released her aura amid the myriad beasts. The majesty of three hundred ninety thousand years once again silenced the group, with only faint sobs drifting with the cold wind!
The Snow Empress gratefully glanced at the Ice Empress, then continued:
“I have ruled the Extreme North for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessing every change in the Extreme North.”
“Forgive me for being unable to continue leading the Extreme North forward, for I have seen a brand new future for the Extreme North.”
“From today onward, I pass the position of King of the Extreme North to the person beside me—Huo Yuhao!”
Accompanying the Snow Empress’s voice, the gaze of the Extreme North myriad beasts shifted to Huo Yuhao, and then the entire Ice God Throne erupted.
“A hu—a human?!”
“Snow Empress, this!!!”
“How can we let a human take over the position of King of the Extreme North!!”
The dozens of beast kings of the Extreme North all revealed shocked gazes; they found it somewhat hard to accept.
Su Tong beside Huo Yuhao glanced at her own teacher and realized that “Huo Yuhao” was her teacher’s real name.
She puffed her cheeks slightly, her ice-blue eyes showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
Huo Yuhao rubbed Su Tong’s head and transmitted via spiritual power:
“Sorry, I’ll explain to you later.”
Then he put his hands in his pockets, his black trench coat swaying in the wind. His Spiritual Eye Martial Soul activated, and his eyes seemed to swirl with countless stars.
Then he took a step forward, and vast spiritual power instantly enveloped the entire Extreme North Core Area!
Huo Yuhao borrowed Ilex’s Divine Origin Realm spiritual power level to drive his own spiritual origin.
The Extreme North myriad beasts, who had just been fiercely discussing in the Extreme North Core Area, now fell completely silent!
They all felt a god-like, devil-like spiritual power sweep over their bodies. They suddenly found their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Every cell in their bodies was quivering, their souls wailing.
The cold winds that had howled for millions of years in the Extreme North Core Area now calmed! The snowflakes filling the sky dissipated at this moment.
The thick clouds in the sky suddenly tore open a gap, and the sun’s rays scattered down like a waterfall onto the earth.
The myriad beasts on the ground now looked up and saw a sun far brighter than usual.
This was Divine Origin Realm spiritual power! With a single thought, the wind and snow ceased.
Their gazes now held no doubt, but awe.
The beast kings of the Extreme North had shifting expressions in their eyes and lowered their heads—this was respect for the strong.
Soul beasts were like that; their minds rarely harbored twists and turns, only the law of the jungle.
Plus with the Snow Empress’s endorsement, at this moment, the vast majority of soul beasts acknowledged Huo Yuhao as King of the Extreme North!
Huo Yuhao looked at the Extreme North myriad beasts prostrating on the ground. Under the Snow Empress’s gentle gaze, his voice was precisely transmitted via spiritual power into every soul beast’s ears.
“From now on, I am the King of the Extreme North!”
“As king, I will never mistreat my people!”
“Starting today! All heavenly tribulations for soul beasts of the Extreme North will be reduced by thirty percent!”
“With my identity as Child of Nature, I proclaim to heaven and earth! Henceforth, the Extreme North shall receive plane protection! Immune to disasters!”
Then Huo Yuhao quickly contacted the Little Planet Spirit, asking her to cooperate with some special effects, since the bros had already spoken the words.
After sensing Huo Yuhao’s information, the Little Planet Spirit smiled gently from inside the star and provided protection for the Extreme North through the planet’s records.
She was always indulgent toward Huo Yuhao’s requests. Since the Extreme North was his territory, it was natural to give it extra favors.
Hearing Huo Yuhao’s proclamation, the Extreme North myriad beasts were dumbfounded. They had never heard of heavenly tribulation power being reducible.
The thirty-five beast kings of the Extreme North looked at each other, and even the Ice Empress showed doubt.
But soon, they understood that Huo Yuhao’s words were not false.
A soft and gentle voice reached the ears of all Extreme North soul beasts, making countless soul beasts cry out “mommy.”
Those ten-thousand-year soul beasts immediately felt an indescribable sensation.
Though they didn’t know what it was, they realized their future heavenly tribulations had truly been reduced by thirty percent.
Even the beast kings now revealed shocked expressions!
“This, this is what a great proclamation!”
The Ice Dragon King of one hundred ninety thousand years trembled its dragon body, its golden vertical pupils gazing at the distant black figure, as if to etch Huo Yuhao forever into its sea of consciousness.
“I can feel it—my two hundred thousand year tribulation now has a glimmer of hope!”
Soul beasts could sense their own tribulations.
At this moment, it found it had a great chance of surviving the two hundred thousand year heavenly tribulation!
The Titan Snow Demon King clenched its arm; it too felt a kind of protection from the world!
“It’s real!”
“The three hundred thousand year heavenly tribulation will no longer be an obstacle for me!”
That fierce beast level Ice Phoenix now knelt on one knee, fully submitting to that black figure.
Her exquisite face was full of fanaticism. She clearly knew that with a thirty percent reduction in lightning tribulation, many of her clansmen could survive under the heavenly tribulation!
Her own future three hundred thousand year heavenly tribulation would basically be no problem!
The Ice Empress’s golden eyes flickered with colors as she murmured to herself:
“So that’s how it is, Xue’er.”
The most excited were the beasts behind the beast kings. Their excited roars were like waves, one crashing over the next.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao’s mouth curved up slightly as he continued:
“At this moment, I am the King of the Extreme North!”
“Who approves? Who opposes?”
The beasts below the Ice God Throne all knelt in unison, their beast pupils fanatically looking toward their new king. Not a single soul beast opposed.
The thirty-five beast kings at the forefront also immediately knelt and said in unison:
“Great new King of the Extreme North!”
“The Extreme North shall offer you our loyalty!”
