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

Chapter 53: The Snow Empress Makes the Ninth Place on the Soul Beast Ranking
Shui Bing'er nodded heavily, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Disciple understands, Master. Disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to Master's expectations!"

Above the sky, the golden light of the Soul Beast Ranking gradually faded, but the shock brought by Bi Ji's appearance on the list spread like a tsunami across the entire continent.

With 700,000 years of cultivation, dual extreme attributes, and control over life and death... this jade swan has become one of the most feared beings on the continent.

On the shore of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, Bi Ji slowly opened her eyes, gazing at the Soul Beast Ranking in the sky, a hint of anticipation and fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.

"Whose turn is it next?"

Her voice was soft yet carried a hint of authority, spreading like heavenly music throughout the entire shore of Lake Life.

[Eighth on the Soul Beast Ranking: Snow Empress]

【Duration: 710000 years】

[Affiliation: Far North]

[Evaluation: Its true form is the Ice and Snow Maiden, born and raised by nature, the strongest soul beast in the far north. Legend has it that it contains the bloodline of the Ice God and possesses three ultimate skills: "Emperor's Palm, Emperor's Sword, and Emperor's Frost Heaven."]

[Reward: Cultivation level increased by 13 years, Ice God bloodline increased by 20%.]

The far north is a vast expanse of ice.

Snowflakes danced in the air, and biting winds whipped up ice shards, howling and raging across the boundless snowfield. This was a forbidden zone for life, but a paradise for the spirit beasts of the far north.

In the heart of the ice field, a majestic palace forged from millennia-old ice stands silently, its top covered with thick snow, the ice crystals reflecting a cold luster, like the abode of an ice goddess.

In the square in front of the palace, several figures stood proudly in the snow.

Leading the group was a figure dressed in pure white, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

His skin was crystal clear, as if sculpted from the purest ice, and his brows carried an innate coldness and majesty, as if he were the ruler of this far northern land.

She is the Snow Empress, the true form of the Ice and Snow Maiden, the uncrowned queen of the far north.

Beside her, Hyotei, dressed in a turquoise dress, stared wide-eyed.

Beside the Ice Emperor stood a tall and imposing figure, covered in snow-white fur, with a pair of enormous bear paws gleaming with a cold light. He was none other than Little White, a member of the clan of Little White, the Ice Bear King of the Far North.

On the other side of Little White was an even larger being, tens of feet tall, covered in thick ice and snow armor, like a moving iceberg, none other than Titan Snow Demon King.

When the light screen of the Soul Beast Ranking pierced through the swirling snow and reflected on the horizon of the far north ice plain, a subtle ripple appeared for the first time in the Snow Empress's eyes, which were as clear as ice crystals.

"The Soul Beast Ranking... is it eighth?"

The clear, cold voice was like shattered ice colliding, gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority.

She gazed at the words "Eighth Place" slowly appearing on the screen, her jade hand slightly raised, a wisp of extreme ice energy swirling around her fingertips.

The information on the light screen exploded like thunder in the far north.

Hyotei's pupils suddenly contracted, a hint of disbelief flashing in his cold eyes: "Seven hundred thousand years... and he's only ranked eighth?"

Ice Bear Little White scratched its head, its huge bear face full of honesty and shock.

"What? The Snow Emperor only ranked eighth after 710,000 years? How strong must the people ahead of her be?"

Titan Snow Demon King let out a deep roar, and a layer of cold air rose from his thick ice armor, clearly shocked by the ranking.

On the icy plains below, countless soul beasts looked up at the light curtain in the sky, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

"It's Lady Snow Empress!"

"Seven hundred and one thousand years! Ranked eighth!" "The bloodline of the Ice God! It's rumored that the Snow Empress shares the same origin as the ancient Ice God, and it's true!"

The giants of the Titan Snow Demon race knelt down, their massive bodies trembling against the ice.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion clan lay prostrate in the snow, the ice crystals on their tail hooks shimmering with a submissive light.

Even the usually proud ice and snow dragons, led by their chieftain Luca, bowed their heads in the direction of the Snow Emperor.

They all knew that the Snow Emperor was not only the ruler of the far north, but also the inheritor of the Ice God's legacy.

The Ice God bloodline flowing through her veins gave her potential and strength far exceeding that of other soul beasts of the same level.

In front of the palace, the Snow Emperor's gaze fell on the reward of "20% increase in the bloodline of the Ice God," a hint of anticipation flashing in her cold eyes.

She was born of nature, formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of the far north. She shares the same birth method as the ancient ice god and is of the same race as the ice god.

For many years, she had longed to fully awaken the Ice God's bloodline and recreate the glory of the ancient Ice God, but the shackles of her bloodline remained unbroken.

Now, the rewards from the Soul Beast Ranking have undoubtedly given her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"boom--!"

Before Xue Di could think it through, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky.

This beam of light was different from the dual-colored energy that Brigitte had obtained. It was pure to the extreme, an indescribable ice blue, containing a vast and boundless divine power of ice, as if it were pouring down directly from the kingdom of the Ice God.

The beam of light pierced through the swirling snow and instantly enveloped the Snow Emperor's body.

A surge of immense energy, like a rushing river, flooded into her body, and the Snow Empress's aura began to soar at a visible rate.

710,000 years, 720,000 years, 730,000 years...

The torrent of energy was unstoppable, and her cultivation level soared like a rocket. The power of the earth veins beneath the ice was frantically activated, causing the entire far northern ice plain to tremble slightly.

Finally, as the torrent of energy gradually subsided, the Snow Empress's cultivation level steadily stopped at 840,000 years!

Her 840,000 years of extreme ice cultivation caused the air around her to condense into ice crystals, the temperature within a thousand miles to plummet, and even the howling wind seemed to freeze, leaving only extreme tranquility in the world.

What's even more astonishing is that the pure power of the Ice God's bloodline seeped into her limbs and bones like spring rain nourishing the earth.

Xue Di could clearly feel that the Ice God bloodline within her body was rapidly awakening, and the previously dormant power was being awakened one by one.

Faint ice crystal patterns appeared on her skin, and the phantom of the Ice God was reflected in her eyes. A sacred pressure from ancient times slowly emanated from her body.

"Om-!"

Snow Empress raised her hand, and a wisp of icy blue energy condensed in her palm.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

The blizzard suddenly stopped, and countless ice crystals condensed in the air, transforming into a crystal-clear longsword. Ice god runes flowed on the blade, emanating an aura of world destruction.

It is one of her three ultimate skills, the Emperor Sword!
Immediately afterwards, she pressed her fingers together into a palm and gently pressed down on the ice field below.

"Emperor's Palm!"

As the cold shout subsided, a gigantic, icy blue hand descended from the sky, as if the heavens themselves were pressing down.

Wherever it passed, the ice froze instantly, forming a boundless ice field. The extreme cold contained in the palm wind was enough to make any soul beast fear it.
