Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 109 Evaluation
[Evaluation: One of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the supreme emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Born from the very source of the Far North's ice, he wields the purest, ultimate ice, its chill capable of freezing souls and solidifying time and space. He is domineering and aloof, regarding the Far North as his absolute private property, not allowing any outsider to encroach upon it. His will is as unwavering as millennia-old ice; in pursuit of a higher realm and the continuation of his race, he willingly risks everything to attempt interspecies cultivation, his courage and determination unparalleled in the Far North. He possesses absolute loyalty and trust in his only acknowledged friend, the Snow Empress, transcending race and self-interest.]

[Reward 1: The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion bloodline undergoes ultimate sublimation, reverting to the ancestral 'Primordial Ice Soul Divine Scorpion' bloodline. Bloodline purity increases to 90%, life level leaps, and potential ceiling breaks through the million-year barrier. Physical strength, power, speed, defense, and ice affinity undergo all-round qualitative changes. Each carapace contains 'Absolute Zero' law patterns, spontaneously resisting most energy attacks below the god level. The scorpion tail 'Ice Emperor's Sting' evolves into 'Eternal Silent Sting,' containing the 'Time-Space Freeze' property, causing the victim's body, soul, and mind to fall into a near-eternal state of stillness.]

[Reward Two: Obtain the 'Absolute Zero Domain'. Its normal coverage radius is fifty miles, and it can expand to three hundred miles at full power! Within the domain, the temperature remains constant at the edge of absolute zero (the theoretical lowest temperature). Except for the laws of ice, all other elemental laws are suppressed to their limits, spatial structure tends to solidify, and the flow of time slows down by fifty to ninety percent. Within the domain, one can freely create large-scale destructive celestial phenomena such as 'Ice Strike Storm', 'Eternal Ice Coffin', and 'Frosty Star Ring'; one can summon the 'Ice Soul Scorpion Avatar', briefly possessing some of the authority and power of a first-level deity (Ice God), freezing spacetime and sealing the realm.]

[Reward Three: Obtain the 'Ice Soul Divine Core' (already fused). This is a condensation of the broken divine essence of an ancient ice god and the essence of billions of years of frigid air from the extreme north ice plains. After fusion, spiritual power undergoes a qualitative change, condensing into the 'Ice Soul Divine Soul,' with a divine sense strength comparable to a demigod. It can freeze thousands of miles with a single thought and perceive all things in frost-covered lands. At the same time, the core will continuously absorb the primordial frigid air of the extreme north, transforming it into the purest 'Primordial Ice Soul Divine Power,' laying an unparalleled divine foundation for breaking through to the million-year divine beast realm. Gain the talent 'Ice Soul Divine Eye,' which can see through illusions and directly perceive the origin, possessing extremely strong insight into all concealment, illusions, and spatial distortions, increasing the speed of cultivating ice-type laws by a hundredfold.]

Quiet.

This time, the entire Douluo Continent was plunged into a deathly silence.

It wasn't shock, it wasn't horror, but a kind of fear and suffocation that came from the instinct of life, in the face of a higher level of existence!

"Four...four hundred and seventy thousand years?! A ferocious beast?!"

"Comparable to a human level 98... peak Douluo?!"

"The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion! One of the rulers of the far north!"

At this moment, countless human soul masters, nobles, and emperors were completely blank in their minds.

While the inclusion of Zi Ji, Hu Liena, and Meng Hongchen on the list was shocking, they were ultimately powerful beings within the categories of "soul beasts" and "soul masters," beings that could be barely understood or even recorded by the human cognitive system.

So, what appears on the list now is an ancient ferocious beast that truly stands at the top of the soul beast pyramid, rules the entire far north, and has lived for nearly 500,000 years!
What does a level 98 peak Douluo mean?
That is the theoretical pinnacle that human soul masters can reach, second only to the legendary "gods"! On the entire continent, the known existences at this level are extremely rare!
And this being was actually a soul beast! Moreover, the rewards it received…

"Primordial Ice Soul Divine Scorpion Bloodline? Breaking through the million-year shackle?!"

"Absolute zero zone? A radius of three hundred miles?! Freezing spacetime? Suppressing all other laws?!"

"The Ice Soul Core? Formed from the shattered divine essence of the ancient Ice God? Its divine consciousness is comparable to that of a demigod?!"

"This...this is no longer a reward...this is practically...creating a god!"

Countless ancient texts were frantically searched, countless reclusive experts were awakened, and the highest levels of countless forces held emergency meetings in trembling.

Soul Beasts have made it onto the Goddess Ranking! And the very thing that made it onto the ranking is such a terrifying existence!

This signal is stronger and more deadly than ever before!
This means that the scope of this mysterious list has long exceeded the human realm! Soul beasts are also included! Moreover, judging from the ranking and rewards, it seems that it treats soul beasts and humans...without any favoritism!
Even more terrifying is that the list directly points to the Ice Emperor's "territory"—the core area of ​​the far north, the absolute zero forbidden zone. What does this mean? It means that one of the largest sources of spirit rings for human spirit masters, one of the most dangerous and mysterious forbidden zones, and one of its highest rulers has received such a terrifying boost!

After this, who would dare to easily set foot in the far north? Who would dare to plot against the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan?

The fragile and bloody barrier between humans and spirit beasts has been brutally torn apart by this list!

The far north, at the heart of the absolute zero forbidden zone.

There is no sky, no earth, only an eternal, almost frozen green.

The temperature was unbelievably low, freezing the very space with fine, black cracks that slowly healed in the extreme cold. This was a death trap for life, yet the ultimate sanctuary for ice-elemental creatures.

In the heart of this verdant landscape, a majestic palace, entirely composed of "eternal ice crystals," stands silently.

On the throne in the palace, a woman slowly opened her eyes.

She looked like a human girl, about 1.65 meters tall, with a petite and delicate figure. Her face was exquisitely beautiful to the point of being unreal, and her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, with a faint, warm glow like jade.

Her long, emerald-green hair, like the finest ice silk, flowed smoothly down her back, the ends moving without wind, scattering specks of crystalline ice dust.

She wore a simple turquoise long dress, with an antique style and no superfluous decorations, yet she seemed to blend into the entire far north.

What is most striking are her eyes—a pair of emerald green eyes like an ancient, icy pool, clear, cold, and deep, with what appears to be billions of ice crystals rising and falling in the depths of her pupils, reflecting the laws governing the entire icy world.

She is the Ice Emperor, the human form of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

At this moment, she is awakening from a deep slumber that has lasted for ten years. This slumber was part of her preparations to adjust her condition and attempt the risky path of rehabilitation.

However, before she could fully sort out her thoughts, a terrifying ice-attribute energy, so vast and indescribable, so pure and beyond imagination, ignored the layers of spatial blockade and law barriers of the absolute zero forbidden zone and poured directly into her body!
"Ok?"

For the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared in Hyotei's emerald eyes.
