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

Chapter 110 Worry
She tried to resist, but found herself powerless against this energy, like a mayfly facing a galaxy.

No, it wasn't that she was powerless to resist, but rather... this energy perfectly matched her origin, and was even more ancient, purer, and more... noble than her own origin!
"This is... the aura of the Ice God?" The Ice Emperor was shocked.

Immediately afterwards, information about the rankings appeared directly in the depths of her consciousness.

"Goddess Ranking? Twelfth? Reward?"

Even with Hyotei's arrogance and knowledge, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer scale and mystery of this ranking.

But at this moment, she had no time to think about it.

The reward's energy has been fully unleashed!
"Roar--!"

An uncontrollable roar, filled with both pain and exhilaration, erupted from Hyotei's mouth. She could no longer maintain her human form; a surge of emerald light erupted, instantly transforming her into her true form as a hundred-meter-long Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!
The terrifying pressure swept across the entire Absolute Zero Forbidden Zone like a tsunami, even spreading outwards and shaking the core area of ​​the entire far north!
Under the emerald green pillar of light, Hyotei's true form began to undergo a dramatic transformation.

The shell, which was originally like an emerald, became thicker and more ancient. Countless complex and mysterious silver patterns, seemingly containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, naturally appeared on the surface of the shell—that was the manifestation of the law of "absolute zero"!

Her size hadn't increased much, but the density and strength of every inch of her muscles, bones, and carapace were increasing exponentially! Power surged, speed soared, and her control over ice leaped from "as easy as using her own arm" to the level of "I am ice, and ice is me!"

The terrifying "Ice Emperor's Spike" at the tail was now enveloped in a dark, deep blue light that seemed to absorb all light. At its tip was a point of silver light, and staring at it for too long would freeze even one's mind—the Eternal Silent Sting!
Blood was boiling, cheering, and tracing back to that ancient and great source in the darkness—the Primordial Ice Soul Divine Scorpion! It was a primordial divine beast that had already controlled the power of ice in the chaos before the birth of the Ice God!
"boom--!"

Centered on Hyotei, an invisible yet more terrifying wave suddenly spread out!
Absolute Zero Zone, unfold!

At first, it only enveloped the Eternal Ice Crystal Palace, but in an instant, it covered the core of the absolute zero forbidden zone with a radius of fifty miles!

In this region, the temperature has completely fallen below a certain theoretical limit.

The light vanished, the sound vanished, and even the "fluctuations" of space itself nearly ceased. All matter, energy, and even laws that were not of the ice attribute were suppressed to a state of near "nothingness."

Time here becomes viscous and slow.

With a slight thought, the Ice Emperor conjured countless emerald-green ice blade storms (Ice Strike Storms) connecting heaven and earth within her domain, each capable of easily tearing apart a Super Douluo's defenses. With another thought, the storms subsided, and emerald-green ice coffins (Eternal Ice Coffins), radiating an aura of eternal sealing, condensed in the void, seemingly capable of suppressing gods and demons. She could even manipulate the power of her domain to condense, high in the sky, slowly rotating, frigid star rings composed of countless tiny ice crystal stars (Frosty Star Rings), casting down icy beams of light capable of annihilating everything. And this was not her limit.

"Ice Soul Divine Scorpion Dharma Form, solidify!"

As the Ice Emperor silently chanted in her heart, the vast and endless ice soul divine power within the Absolute Zero Domain frantically gathered, and behind her, a giant emerald green scorpion Dharma image that was ten thousand feet tall and seemed to be able to support the heavens and the earth slowly took shape!
The mere existence of the Dharma form caused the surrounding space, spanning hundreds of miles, to groan in unbearable pressure. The dark clouds that had shrouded the far north for years were completely dispelled, revealing the cold and brilliant starry sky behind it, where even the starlight was frozen and distorted!
Hyotei could sense that through this Dharma form, she had briefly touched upon a far more vast and magnificent authority—a portion of the power belonging to the Ice God! Although it was only a superficial understanding, the immense power that could freeze time and space and encase the kingdom made her heart tremble.

This is only a portion of the domain's power.

The most crucial reward, the "Ice Soul Core," has now been perfectly integrated into the depths of her spiritual sea.

Originally, although her mental strength was powerful, it was ultimately the path of a soul beast, leaning towards berserk and control. But now, her entire sea of ​​spirit has been completely transformed and sublimated!
A boundless "Sea of ​​Divine Souls," composed of emerald-green ice crystals, has replaced the original Sea of ​​Spirit. The seawater is liquefied, highly condensed ice crystal power, and countless enormous icebergs, inscribed with laws, float on its surface.

At the heart of the ocean, a majestic "Ice Soul Palace" stands, entirely constructed from the "Ice Soul Divine Core." Deep within the palace, a miniature, semi-transparent, emerald-green phantom of the Ice Emperor sits cross-legged, radiating a vast divine consciousness comparable to that of a demigod!
The Ice Soul opened its eyes, and throughout the far north, wherever ice and snow covered, everything was clearly visible and under its surveillance! The irregular falling of a snowflake a thousand miles away, the slightest wriggling of an ice silkworm under a layer of ice ten thousand feet deep, could not escape its perception!
At the same time, her "Ice Soul Divine Eye" talent was activated. Two tiny, rotating silver runes appeared deep within the Ice Empress's emerald eyes. Within her gaze, weak points in space, the flow of energy, and things hidden within illusions or folded spaces became clearly visible. Her understanding of the laws of ice surged at an unprecedented rate; many previously obscure concepts became instantly clear.

Her cultivation level did not directly increase her age limit, but the leap in her life level, the return of her bloodline to its ancestral form, the qualitative change in her soul, and the transformation of her divine power caused a tremendous change in her actual combat strength!
Although she still has 470,000 years of cultivation, her true combat power is enough to crush an ordinary level 99 Limit Douluo! With the Absolute Zero Domain and the Ice Soul Scorpion Dharma Form, she can even contend with beings who have just stepped into the demigod level!

After a long while, the emerald green pillar of light slowly dissipated.

Hyotei transformed back into human form and landed on the throne of the Eternal Ice Crystal Palace.

She sat there quietly, her emerald eyes gazing at the icy world outside the palace, shrouded in an absolute zero field, a world where time seemed to stand still. Her gaze also seemed to penetrate endless space, looking towards the distant Starry Sky Forest and the human continent.

Her eyes remained cold and aloof.

But deep in his eyes, a complex and enigmatic light, unlike anything he had ever seen before, appeared.

There was an openness to gaining immense power, curiosity and vigilance about what lay behind the rankings, contemplation about the future of the far north, and even more... a touch of worry and anticipation for that dear friend who was in the heart of the extreme cold, undergoing a transformation to a higher level.
