Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 692 Soul Beasts Gather in the Far North, Titan Snow Demon King Arrives!

"There are actually humans here!"

When the 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion saw the Ice Bear King suddenly unleash an ice tornado towards its clan, it thought the Ice Bear King was going to harm its people and was about to retaliate.

But when it saw a human appear where the ice tornado was attacking, it was momentarily stunned.

It was so close, practically standing right in the middle of its pack, yet it didn't notice!
"Roar!"

Upon realizing what was happening, the Ice Jade Scorpion, with its 100,000-year cultivation, roared, and the entire Ice Jade Scorpion clan erupted in excitement!
Almost instantly, hundreds and thousands of Ice Jade Scorpions pounced on Jiang Ming's body, accompanied by an aura of extreme cold—the Ice Jade Scorpions' innate talent for extreme ice!

"Ultimate Ice? Sorry, Ultimate Ice abilities have no effect on me! Besides, my Ultimate Ice is stronger than yours!"

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and his short black hair instantly turned into long, ice-blue hair.

Immediately afterwards, an even stronger, colder aura than the extreme ice aura released by the Ice Jade Scorpions swept across the entire space!
The ice tornado unleashed by the Ice Bear King was forcefully suppressed by a cold and aloof figure!

The Snow Empress simply stretched out her hand and waved it lightly, and the terrifying ice tornado, which was enough to threaten a Title Douluo, vanished into thin air.

"Little White, be good."

Jiang Ming was stunned when he heard this.

noob
This big guy is actually called "Little White"?
Jiang Ming's lips twitched, wondering if it was Xue Di's pet.

Meanwhile, almost as soon as it sensed the Snow Empress's aura, the enormous Ice Bear King withdrew its own. Facing the Snow Empress, it immediately prostrated itself, its massive rump raised high, its upper body completely subdued. Its huge bear head swayed slightly, emitting soft whimpers towards the Snow Empress.

The voice was filled with awe, as if the speaker had seen the master of the house.

Seeing the Ice Bear King like this, the Snow Empress smiled faintly and waved to it gently.

Overjoyed, the Ice Bear King stood up, let out a joyful roar, and ran towards the Snow Emperor.

Its body was so enormous that when it ran, it looked like a small mountain leaping across the Arctic ice field. Each time its incredibly obese body landed, it left a deep mark on the ice field.

It was originally several hundred meters away from Jiang Ming, a distance that the Ice Bear King could cover in an instant with its cultivation level.

But when it was fifty meters away from Snow Emperor, it suddenly slowed down. For the last fifty meters, it crawled on its stomach until it reached Snow Emperor.

This behemoth, whose head alone exceeded two meters in diameter, nudged its massive head towards Snow Emperor. Unlike its entirely white fur, its large, slightly pink nose approached.

As Jiang Ming got closer, he could more clearly feel how enormous this Ice Bear King was; it was almost the same size as the Bear King in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of course, this Ice Bear King cannot compare with the Bear King of the Star Dou Great Forest in terms of strength, but in the far north, this guy is truly at the top of the soul beasts!
But this being, who stands at the top of the soul beasts and ranks among the ferocious beasts, is so respectful to the Snow Empress, even more so than Xiong Jun is to the Beast God.

Xue Di smiled.

Her smile was like a plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow on an icy plain.

The Ice Jade Scorpions, who hadn't dared to breathe loudly, all breathed a sigh of relief, because they almost simultaneously felt the Snow Emperor's joy.

The leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the true ruler of the entire Far North, suddenly appeared before him.

Even if the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan's king, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, had not disappeared, he would still have to show respect and bow before this Ice Heaven Snow Emperor!
Snow Empress raised her hand and gently placed it on that huge nose, stroking it softly, and said, "Little White, you've gotten fatter again."

Jiang Ming glanced at the Ice Bear King's enormous body.

More than just fat, this physique is practically a small mountain of flesh!

Jiang Ming even suspected that Xiong Jun wasn't as fat as this guy! After all, Xiong Jun was all muscle, while the Ice Bear King in front of him had a huge belly that clearly showed how much fat it had accumulated.

Little White seemed to be enjoying being stroked by Snow Empress, occasionally letting out soft moans. Its huge, snow-white bear buttocks wiggled from time to time, as if being stroked by Snow Empress was a very happy thing.

"Snow Emperor, this is..."

Jiang Ming looked at the Ice Bear King and asked softly.

The most famous creatures in the far north are the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Among them, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor need no further introduction, but if the legendary Titan Snow Demon King really only had a cultivation of more than 200,000 years, then the strength of this Ice Bear King in front of us should be similar to that of the Titan Snow Demon King. So why haven't we heard of him?
In that case, the far north should have the Four Heavenly Kings.

Snow Empress turned to look at Jiang Ming and said softly, "Little White is a little ice bear I picked up when I first became Empress. It has lived with me for more than 200,000 years. Although it is now a regional overlord, it has always regarded me as its mother."

More than 200,000 years!
Jiang Ming nodded slightly. Sure enough, his senses were right; this guy was a real ferocious beast!

"Then why are there only three Heavenly Kings in the far north? I remember that Titan Snow Demon King's cultivation was only about 200,000 years."

Xue Di explained, "Xiao Bai's strength is comparable to that of King Atai. However, I have instructed it not to fight and not to show itself often in the far north. Moreover, it is unwilling to be on par with me. Therefore, the outside world only knows that the three Heavenly Kings of the far north are the three of us."

So that’s it!
It seems the far north is not as simple as it appears.

For some reason, Jiang Ming thought of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Are there really only ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Is Di Tian really the strongest soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?

He didn't know that the commotion he caused during his last trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had alarmed the entire core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. If there were other ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, or even more powerful ones than Di Tian, ​​he felt that he probably wouldn't have been able to escape that time.

However, he always felt that the Star Dou Great Forest was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

That was a very strong intuition!
As Jiang Ming was pondering, Xue Di's voice rang in his ears.

"Jiang Ming, I rarely get to return to the far north, and I want to arrange some things."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Sure, just arrange whatever you want. Do you need my help?"

Xue Di shook her head and said, "No need."

As the ruler of the far north, she does nothing in the far north without needing anyone else's help.

She gently patted Xiaobai's nose, and then her body floated into the air like a ghost.

Snow Emperor floated into the air, her body dancing in the air, seemingly stepping on the void as she danced.

Her aura was slowly released, not forcefully, but as she began to release it, Jiang Ming noticed that everything around him began to darken.

The world was once covered in white snow. All the ice and snow had turned blue, and only she, dancing in the air, remained pure white.

Her long sleeves fluttered, and white ribbons danced around her. Blue snowflakes swirled and danced around her.

At this moment, the Snow Empress was like a snow sprite; her graceful dance seemed to have made her the core of this far northern core circle.

Jiang Ming stared blankly at the Snow Empress in the air; such beautiful dance moves were absolutely the most he had ever seen in his life!

Well, he doesn't seem to have seen other people dance much, and he's only twenty-five years old. Counting from his birth, his life is only twenty-five years, and even including his previous life, it's only been a little over forty years.

But he firmly believes that it is absolutely one of the most beautiful dances in the world.

He couldn't be too certain, but based on Jiang Ming's current experience, this was the most captivating dance he had ever seen.

Xue Di was already stunningly beautiful, but at this moment, she seemed completely absorbed in her dance.

The fierce wind in the air softened, and even the temperature seemed to rise a few degrees. There was no warmth, but no cold either. There was only a pure, refreshing coolness.

The blue color spread further and further, and within sight, the entire space seemed to have turned blue.

Heaven and earth are no longer distinguished.

The feeling was so wonderful that Jiang Ming instantly thought it was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen.

At this moment, his heart was completely captivated, and even the ice-attribute soul power generated by his fusion with Xiao Bing was surging along with the Snow Empress's dance.

The Snow Maiden Dances in the Ice and Snow.

The Snow Emperor was a unique being, formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of the far north. After countless years of nurturing, it finally developed its own thoughts and wisdom, becoming an intelligent being.

She herself is the purest elemental being; one could even say that the Snow Empress is the daughter of this extreme northern ice plain.

The ice and snow girl is uniquely blessed with a generation of snow emperors, dancing in the snow.

Jiang Ming could clearly feel that he was gradually gaining enlightenment amidst this exquisite dance, but even he himself was unclear about what he was gaining enlightenment about. It was a very mysterious feeling, and his world seemed to become ethereal.

Jiang Ming dispelled his fusion with Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing's bright yellow eyes looked at the Snow Emperor dancing in the air, and she also fell into a mysterious state of enlightenment.

Snow Empress is a snow spirit born from the far north, while Little Ice is an ice spirit born from the Book of Spirits. The paths they take are actually very similar, both being compatible with the world's laws of ice and snow.

This dance contains the Snow Emperor's understanding of the laws of ice and snow, which greatly helps Little Ice to perfect the laws of ice and snow in the small world!

The Snow Empress's solo dance lasted for a full hour before she slowly descended from the sky and landed back beside Huo Yuhao.

Her expression looked calm, but Jiang Ming could sense her genuine joy from her emotions.

Yes, of course it's happy to be home.

He returned to Qingshui City as if he were going home, and Xue Di returned to the far north as if she were going home too! Just then, Jiang Ming suddenly sensed a large number of life forms appearing in the distance. Soon, these life forms approached this place at an astonishing speed.

He unleashed his mental energy, spreading it outwards into the distance.

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed, a hint of surprise in them.

"Was that... Was the Snow Empress just calling upon the soul beasts of the far north?"

Previously, the core area of ​​this far north was an endless world of ice and snow, with no signs of life in sight.

But at this very moment, within the range of his mental power, he saw tens of thousands of soul beasts converging in this direction.

These soul beasts come in all shapes and sizes, including flying soul beasts that are rare in the far north.

Jiang Ming grew up on the edge of the far north and had seen many soul beasts from the far north, but there were still many soul beasts gathered here that he had never seen before.

He could sense that every soul beast was extremely excited and was rushing towards them at the fastest speed they could.

This is the true influence of the ruler of the far north!

Among the ten ferocious beasts, only the top three control a region of the world.

The Beast God Di Tian controls the core of the continent, the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Evil Eye Tyrant rules over the Demon Forest, which has the largest number of soul beasts in the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, the one with the greatest control over the area is the Snow Emperor.

In this far north, on the boundless ice plains, all the spirit beasts obey her commands. She is the emperor and the ruler of this land.

Neither the Beast God Di Tian nor the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler came here to challenge the Snow Emperor's majesty. Because, in the environment of this far north, even the Beast God wasn't absolutely certain of defeating the Snow Emperor.

Xue Di stood there quietly, gazing into the distance, a beautiful smile gradually forming at the corners of her mouth.

What a rare sight it is to see ten thousand beasts running rampant on this far northern ice plain!
The massive beast tide rushed towards them at an astonishing speed, only stopping when it was still a thousand meters away from the Snow Emperor.

Every soul beast from the far north, upon reaching this location, would slowly prostrate itself on the ground, just like Little White before, facing the direction of the Snow Emperor with the utmost reverence.

Gradually, the soul beasts in the distance formed a circle, a circle with a diameter of two thousand meters. The thickness of this circle increased, and the number of soul beasts also increased.

Most of the soul beasts on the far north ice plains are white. If you don't look closely, you might even think they are just snow piled up on small hills. Only some particularly large soul beasts are very conspicuous.

Snow Empress stood there quietly, her beautiful face turning cold again. She stood there proudly, while the other soul beasts worshipped, worshipping their queen.

The Snow Empress has not appeared for far too long, yet even so, in this far north, no one dares to forget her presence.

She is the one who protects this paradise. Only she can make all the soul beasts in the far north submit, and no powerful soul beast dares to resist her.

Since the Snow Empress came to rule this place, there have been few disputes in the far north, because no one dares to offend her majesty.

Every spirit beast in the far north knows that the Snow Empress is an ice goddess, a snow spirit. Wherever there is ice and snow, there are her sensory tentacles.

Their initial fear of the Snow Empress gradually turned into awe. The most domineering spirit beasts in this far north ultimately perished under the Snow Empress's Three Absolute Techniques.

From then on, there was no more voice of resistance. The only thing that could decide and dominate everything was the cold voice of the Ice and Snow Maiden.

The number of soul beasts on the outskirts is increasing, but the entire ice field remains very quiet. Only by listening carefully can you hear the breathing of the soul beasts.

Their panting was excited; for most soul beasts, being able to see the Snow Empress in person was the greatest honor of their lives.

Just then, the Soul Beast Circle, hundreds of meters thick, parted, and a colossal figure appeared in Jiang Ming's sight. Along with this enormous figure, a vast array of massive figures also emerged behind it.

The spirit beasts from the far north, who had been forming a circle, quickly parted to make way. The enormous figure at the very front strode into the inner circle.

This enormous figure, at first glance, appeared to be much larger than the Ice Bear King, Little White. It was simply too tall.

That height must be at least 120 meters!
This terrifying, enormous soul beast resembled a human in appearance. It had long, slender arms and its entire body was covered in long, snow-white fur. Even its face was similar to a human's, except for the many wrinkles on its forehead, its bluish-gray skin, and two enormous fangs, which revealed its true nature as a soul beast.

Upon seeing this guy, Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had dealt with this guy before. Last time he entered the far north, he fought with the Ice Emperor and was seriously injured when he fled. He ran into this guy on the way.

If it weren't for Xiao Yu using his 200,000-year-old beast body to entangle with this guy, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

Moreover, his purpose in venturing deep into the far north was to find this guy.

Titan Snow Demon King!
Following behind the Titan Snow Demon King were at least a hundred Titan Snow Demons. Although none were as tall as the Titan Snow Demon King, their average height exceeded eighty meters. Among them, a dozen or so were particularly powerful, each over a hundred meters tall. Their imposing bodies seemed to hold up the sky.

From Jiang Ming's perspective, the hundred or so Titan Snow Demons walking around looked like a hundred or so skyscrapers were moving, and even gave Jiang Ming a feeling that it was getting dark.

"Snow Emperor."

After entering the inner circle, the Titan Snow Demon King at the very front did not continue forward. Instead, he knelt down on one knee, respectfully called out, and spoke in human language.

It was also the only one among the spirit beasts present so far that dared to greet the Snow Empress. While greeting her, it glanced at the Ice Bear King, who was lying prostrate beside the Snow Empress, its eyes clearly showing a hint of jealousy.

Snow Empress nodded to Titan Snow Demon King and said, "Atai, long time no see."

Titan Snow Demon King hurriedly and respectfully said, "Yes! Snow Empress, it's been a long time. You...human, what are you doing here?!"

Its gaze quickly fell on Jiang Ming, who was not far behind Xue Di, and its face immediately darkened.

Jiang Ming still recognized Titan Snow Demon King, so how could Titan Snow Demon King forget Jiang Ming so quickly?

After all, it had been less than ten years since their last meeting. For the Titan Snow Demon King, who had lived for more than 200,000 years, ten years was too short a time, and the memories Jiang Ming had given it were very profound!

"Why can't I be here? You're not happy about it? Let's fight!"

Jiang Ming slightly raised his eyes and looked at Titan Snow Demon King.

Back when he was only at the seventh ring, he fought desperately against Ice Emperor, and was almost killed. He simply couldn't defeat Titan Snow Demon King.

But the past is the past, and the present is the present!

If Titan Snow Demon King were to make a move now, Jiang Ming could suppress it with just one hand!

"Human, how dare you be so arrogant! I, the King, will crush you to death!"

The Titan Snow Demon King's authority in the far north is second only to the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, and it will never allow this human to challenge its authority, especially not in front of the Snow Empress!
"Crush me to death? You dare not!"

Jiang Ming's eyes flashed with golden light, and flames rose in his pupils. He was ready to teach this guy a lesson and take revenge on his past self.

"Artest!"

Just as Titan Snow Demon King was about to stand up and stomp Jiang Ming to death, Snow Empress's cold voice rang out.

Looking into the Snow Empress's icy eyes, the Titan Snow Demon King's aura immediately weakened.

Snow Empress glanced at Jiang Ming, then at Titan Snow Demon King, and frowned as she asked, "What's going on with you two?"

Jiang Ming looked at Xue Di and said softly, "You've seen that Ice Jade Scorpion in the small world's glacier, haven't you?"

Xue Di nodded. Although she didn't often walk in the glacier when she was in the small world, she had seen the Ice Jade Scorpion in the glacier.

"I captured that Ice Jade Scorpion in the far north, thinking it would enrich the species in my small world. Then, I accidentally ran into Ice Emperor, and we fought. At that time, I was only a seventh ring, and I couldn't beat Ice Emperor. I almost died at Ice Emperor's hands. Later, I desperately shook off Ice Emperor, but I ran into it again. If Little Prison hadn't entangled it, I probably would have died at its hands."

Jiang Ming briefly explained the grudge between him and Titan Snow Demon King.

Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness flashed across Xue Di's cold and beautiful face.

She hadn't expected that Jiang Ming and Atai had this kind of conflict.

Now she's in a bit of a dilemma.

As Jiang Ming's spirit, she should stand on Jiang Ming's side.

But as the ruler of the far north, if she cannot stand on Atai's side, then the far north...
Xue Di looked at Jiang Ming, her clear and beautiful eyes conveying a message to him.

Jiang Ming met Xue Di's gaze and sighed inwardly.

He glanced at the Titan Snow Demon King and said indifferently:

"For the sake of Xue Di, I'll let it slide for now."

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's words, Xue Di's eyes revealed a hint of gratitude.

She knew Jiang Ming's current strength all too well. If they really went toe-to-toe with Atai, Atai probably wouldn't last three moves against Jiang Ming.

Of course, with her here, Jiang Ming would definitely not kill Atai. However, if Jiang Ming easily crushed Atai here, causing Atai to lose his prestige in front of the soul beasts of the far north, it would have a very bad impact on her future plans.
