Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

The exposed skin was almost transparent, with an icy blue halo, as cool as ice. The pure white sleeveless dress was adorned with ice feathers, silver glitter, and crystals at the hem, as if it were made by nature itself, without the slightest superfluity.

Her entire being exuded an aura of cold arrogance, and although she did not reveal a trace of soul power, the surrounding ice and snow elements seemed to sway at her, which was her unique aura of dominance.

At this moment, on the icy platform before her, there was a strangely shaped snow lotus, no bigger than the palm of her hand.

Looking at the snow lotus, she was about to make a move when she couldn't help but look at a certain place. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, which were usually frozen and devoid of any emotion.

Chapter 87 The Snow Empress's Choice

Although the snow lotus on the ice platform is only the size of a palm, it is more like a work of art.

While flashing with a cold and arrogant light, the soul power fluctuations around it reached a level that only a 100,000-year-old soul beast would have.

Yet, this very entity is firmly imprisoned on this ice platform.

The beautiful woman before him possessed only a tiny fraction of her soul power, which she had mastered to the extreme.

The aura emanating from him was comparable to that of a Limit Douluo among humans. And the being before him was none other than the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and the third on the list of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of the continent, the true ruler of the Far North.

Ice and Snow Maiden—Snow Empress.

For the Snow Empress, all the creatures in the far north were, to be precise, beings she needed to protect.

In a sense, she, who was formed from the essence of heaven and earth, shoulders this mission.

Right now, she was simply condensing her soul power, which was floating above the snow lotus.

A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but murmur softly.

"I'm sorry, this is the only path I have left, and it's also to continue protecting the far north. I can only ask you to sacrifice yourself."

As that wisp of soul power descended, the snow lotus, which had been imprisoned on the ice platform, also erupted with intense and chaotic soul power fluctuations.

Seeing this, Xue Di remained unmoved.

Unfortunately, Xue Di's current condition is far from good.

The seventh great calamity was imminent, and the sixth heavenly calamity had left behind a minor injury.

It didn't cause any impact at first, but over time, the impact gradually became apparent.

This made Xue Di almost realize that the possibility of her enduring the seventh great calamity was almost zero, less than one percent.

Under these circumstances, with little time left, continuing to cultivate would almost certainly lead to death. And if he were to die, the far north would be leaderless.

After all, to be precise, Hyotei was one of her close friends.

Now, I am also deeply entangled in the fourth great calamity. I can't even free myself right now, so how can I have the strength to help the other party?

If she and Hyotei were to perish one after the other.

Then the peace of the far north will eventually be shattered.

This was something she didn't want to see. Of course, there was also a selfish reason behind it. No living being wants to perish. In the end, she set her sights on this 100,000-year-old immortal herb.

To be precise, this immortal herb has only just broken through to 100,000 years old. Although it possesses a certain level of intelligence, it is already equivalent to an ordinary human.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have hurt the other person. But since she had found the only way out.

That would be to transform into a human, a path that almost no 100,000-year-old soul beast would choose again, but it has become her only possibility to escape the heavenly tribulation and be reborn.

However, with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, it would be almost impossible for her to walk this path again.

It also requires the assistance of external forces, such as this snow lotus fairy herb that is 100,000 years old.

It is precisely this that can fully bear its original power, including the key to its spiritual origin.

Therefore, at this moment, the Snow Empress has imprisoned the other party here.

Finally, with a sigh, that domineering power was mercilessly extinguished, along with the wisp of consciousness that existed within the snow lotus.

That powerful yet chaotic fluctuation of soul power eventually spilled out in part.

After all, even someone as powerful as the Snow Emperor fought desperately against a snow lotus that was 100,000 years old.

Ultimately, the goal is to preserve the object intact without harming its body.

There will always be some oversights, no matter how meticulous the plan.

However, the reason why Xue Di didn't take it too seriously at the moment was quite simple.

He didn't tell anyone about the path he was going to take, not even his closest confidants, the Ice Emperor, as was the case in the far north ice plains year-round.

In the core area, it's rare to see a soul beast, let alone within ten miles, or even a hundred miles.

This is the very core of the core area, where the temperature is also the lowest. Even the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, which possesses the ultimate ice, will not inhabit this place.

Therefore, Xue Di did not have this so-called concern.

After the psychological and moral construction is completed.

The Snow Emperor then prepared to begin, gradually merging his own primordial power with the base of the snow lotus.

Then it transforms into a human form.

However, Xue Di herself did not know why, but when she wanted to take this step, she felt a sense of unease in the darkness.

But the reason she ultimately didn't pay much attention to this unease was quite simple.

This matter of his own was itself a feat against the heavens, after all, only a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast had the privilege of transforming into a human.

However, the Snow Empress merely chuckled. When soul beasts didn't choose the path of transforming into humans, weren't they also defying the heavens in every tribulation they faced?

She didn't pay much attention to this unease stemming from fate. But it seemed that fate was about to repeat that path again.

While compressing her essence, Xue Di suddenly couldn't help but look outside.

The surprise in his eyes gradually evolved into disbelief.

For this ruler of the far north, emotions are a luxury.

Moreover, as a snow-attribute elemental spirit, she felt a little guilty towards the snow lotus earlier.

She hasn't had any emotional fluctuations for many years.

But the reason it caused her emotional distress was quite simple. She sensed a very faint spiritual force in another location.

Although she was very weak, she couldn't possibly be wrong about that feeling.

In terms of spiritual strength, they have even surpassed myself.

And who am I?

In reality, on the mainland today, only the Evil Emperor and Emperor Tian can surpass him in terms of spiritual power.

However, he could sense that even the spiritual power of the Evil Emperor and Emperor Tian was inferior to this extremely faint power, which transcended this world.

That would mean the birth of a deity.

This forced her to stop her plan to compress the source.

She couldn't help but murmur to herself.

"How is that possible? I have never sensed the presence of a deity before."

It's important to understand that even for humans, there are only two options for becoming a god: the first is to become a god through faith, and the second is to inherit a divine position.

Soon, Xue Di seemed to have received a so-called answer.

"Could it be... that the Ice God has taken a fancy to some human?"

Located in the core area of ​​the far north, almost no Soul Master would choose to become a god here.

In the far north, there is only one god: the Ice God.

However, the Ice God's whereabouts ultimately only exist in the memories of soul beasts, in a vague impression.

Even though the Snow Emperor had lived for so many years, she had not found any trace of the Ice God.

However, with the current fluctuations of divine consciousness in the core area of ​​the far north, this seems to be the only reasonable possibility left.

Upon realizing this, Xue Di couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"After all these years of hard work, am I still no match for a human being?"

As she pondered this question in her heart, the Snow Emperor waved her hand, and the snow lotus vanished from the ice platform before her eyes.

The self-mockery in his eyes also transformed into a kind of obsession.

Since she is now a potential successor to the Ice God, she, as the ruler of the Ice Plains, wants to meet him.

Born from the purest power of this icy plain, why can't she win the other party's favor?

In order to find this answer, and also to explore why consciousness exists.

Her original plan was thus interrupted.

And then, in the next instant, this far northern ice plain seemed to welcome the return of its master. That terrifying and boundless cold soul power covered nearly a third of the core area in an instant.

At the same time, the powerful figures of the Star Luo Empire were rushing towards this direction with great excitement.

One second they were competing to see who was faster, the next second their faces suddenly turned deathly pale.

Because this kind of power, which is almost comparable to the Limit Douluo in the far north, can only be possessed by one person.

That is—the Snow Emperor.

Chapter 88 The Snow Empress Descends, Tianmeng, How Daring You Are!

It's important to understand that the reason the far north is ranked alongside the Demon Forest and the so-called Starry Sky in terms of danger is because...

The real reason is because of Xue Di.

Humans have explored this before, and there was even a level 98 Super Douluo.

After venturing deep into the far north and reaching the heart of the region, he was thrown out on the very next day, covered in a disheveled state, accompanied by a voice filled with icy coldness and murderous intent.

"Anyone who trespasses into the core area of ​​the far north shall die!"

Later, according to the memories of this level 98 Super Douluo.

He only saw a solitary figure standing there.

However, with a casual wave of his hand, this icy plain seemed to instantly become the opponent's weapon, or rather, this icy plain became a part of the opponent.
