No matter in which world timeline, this was Huo Yuhao's first time riding an Ice Bear. Sitting on the shoulder of the Ice Bear King felt like sitting on a small mountain.
Accompanying them was the incredibly huge Titan Snow Demon King. The current Titan Snow Demon King was now the master of the Extreme North Ice Sheet.
The Ice Bear King appeared massive, but once it started running, its speed was astonishing, almost like a hill sliding on the ice.
Over a hundred elite Titan Snow Demons also ran wildly on this Extreme North land. Their bodies were so huge that a single step spanned over a hundred meters, and when they leaped into the air, they could cover over five hundred meters in a single stride.
This was the powerful force of the Extreme North. No wonder the soul beasts of the Extreme North Ice Sheet could establish a paradise here; this was absolutely related to their own powerful strength.
Huo Yuhao sat on the Ice Bear King, but in his hand, he took out the Planar Core.
This was the Planar Core that had been replaced six million years ago.
The current core of the Douluo Plane used the heart of that cosmic aberration to continuously supply energy to this star.
Tang Hao and Ah Yin returned to Douluo back then not only to live out their retirement here but also with another purpose: to fuse the Douluo Planar Core and the Life Seed, becoming the Master of the Plane.
As the ancestral star where the Sea God Tang San rose, the continent was left with too many legends belonging to him, continuously providing him with the power of faith.
But Tang San was not a saint after all. His actions back then could only be said to be revenge, not truly benefiting mankind in a meaningful sense.
To keep the Douluo Plane providing him with the power of faith, his parents personally descended to the lower realm, attempting to control this plane. Another idea was to guide the Child of Fortune, letting him grow into a powerful helper who could assist Tang San in controlling the Divine Realm alone.
In the original timeline, facts proved this to be true. If not for the unstable factor of Huo Gua and his wife, the God of Destruction, under the influence of the Golden Dragon King's will, might really have succeeded.
Of course, such a result had pros and cons. The bad part was naturally that the Divine Realm very likely would have perished in the turbulent flow of time and space.
Now, the Sea God Tang San had been severely injured by the original Huo Yuhao. The only one left in Douluo should be his precious daughter.
Through the Planar Core, Huo Yuhao could sense Tang Wutong's approximate location.
Huo Yuhao remembered that place was where Sea God Tang San accepted the divine test, named Sea God Island.
If Huo Yuhao went there rashly, Sea God Tang San would very likely discover the fact that he was not dead. So, he couldn't show up personally this time.
This was also the reason why he sought out the Snow Empress to go with him.
The reason he didn't seek out the Beast God Di Tian was that the Snow Empress had a greater compatibility advantage on the sea. Moreover, the current Snow Empress was in no way inferior to the current Di Tian in any aspect.
Huo Yuhao only needed to assist from the side.
Sea God Tang San must be recuperating in his bedchamber at this moment. Huo Yuhao could still shield the perception of the Divine Realm.
Huo Yuhao had not forgotten that on Sea God Island, an Angel God from ten thousand years ago, Qian Renxue, was imprisoned!
If this trip went smoothly, Bibi Dong and her daughter could be reunited.
Soon, the Titan Snow Demon clan sent Huo Yuhao and the others to the edge of the Ice Sea.
The Titan Snow Demon King stood up straight and said, "Snow Empress, we will send you here."
The Snow Empress looked at the Titan Snow Demon King seriously and said, "Ah Tai, the Extreme North is entrusted to you."
"Make good use of those Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrows. They can help you pass the next hurdle safely." Huo Yuhao also instructed.
With a "thud," the Titan Snow Demon King knelt straight down in front of the Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao, his eyes already moist.
"Emperor's Son-in-law, thank you. Ah Tai will remember the grace of prolonging life for a lifetime." Saying this, he respectfully kowtowed to the Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao three times in a row, then stood up again, turned around, and led his Titan Snow Demon clan away with his head held high.
Huo Yuhao naturally knew that with this affinity, his relationship with the Extreme North would be intimately close.
The Snow Empress took one last deep look in the direction the Titan Snow Demon King left, as if to engrave this land in the deepest part of her heart.
"Wife, let's go." Huo Yuhao naturally held her small hand.
The Snow Empress rolled her eyes at him but didn't say much.
...
Even though located in the Extreme North, the surface of the Ice Sea was not completely frozen. The vast ocean was boundless, with cold currents and warm currents underwater. Therefore, huge icebergs and floating ice could often be seen on the sea surface, but it was not completely frozen.
Even so, the temperature here had dropped to a level where ordinary people simply couldn't survive. Floating ice drifted on the ice surface. The cold wind was biting, carrying a bit of the sea's fishy smell and gloom, whistling past constantly.
The current Huo Yuhao was naturally fearless of the cold. In this environment, his soul power recovery speed would only be faster.
Little White transformed into a naive and charming big fat boy, looking very comical.
The group boarded an ice boat condensed by Huo Yuhao using Ultimate Ice and sailed into the interior of the Ice Sea. The speed of advancement was not fast. Huo Yuhao's spiritual power had to constantly scan the movement of the surrounding Ice Sea to prevent attacks from sea soul beasts.
Under the ice surface, many marine creatures were swimming, among which there were quite a few sea soul beasts. However, as long as they felt the powerful aura emanating from the Ice Bear King and the Snow Empress, they dared not attack them.
The further north they sailed, the lower the temperature became, and the number of floating ice on the Ice Sea also increased. Huge icebergs could be seen everywhere. Some particularly huge icebergs were like small continents.
On the ice surface, there were also some sea soul beasts. These existences looked at them covetously but did not approach. Soul beasts had keen perception. Except for Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress and Little White did not deliberately suppress their aura, so these ordinary soul beasts with lower cultivation naturally dared not have designs on them.
"I remember that deep in the Ice Sea, there exists a race called the Sea Princess, right?" Huo Yuhao remembered something and couldn't help asking the Snow Empress beside him.
At this time, the Snow Empress's pretty face was full of satisfaction. As the Ice Sky Snow Girl, this cold environment had always been her favorite.
The Snow Empress said, "The Sea Princess clan has always lived deep in this Ice Sea. For the current you, there is no danger. Just with the strength you possess now, no known sea soul beast can contend with you."
"If we really encounter them, let's try to fly high into the sky as much as possible." Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment and said, "The farther sea soul beasts are from the sea, the more severely their cultivation drops. No matter what cultivation level a sea soul beast has, it will be subject to such restrictions."
Huo Yuhao unconsciously touched his chin. He knew clearly that the Sea Princess clan was close to the Sea God, and he had to stand on the opposite side of the Sea God. It would naturally be best to avoid dealing with them.
Soul beasts rarely appeared over the Ice Sea. At least they hadn't found any soul beasts along the way. It seemed that this place was like a forbidden zone for flying soul beasts.
In a blink of an eye, two hours passed, and they could no longer feel any aura of land.
There were more and more huge icebergs on the sea surface. Looking further away, it was even a vast expanse of white. The temperature here was already close to the temperature of the Core Circle of the Extreme North Ice Sheet.
Holding the hands of Zhang Lexuan and Die Qiu, Huo Yuhao continuously sucked away the cold air invading their bodies through his third martial soul. In this way, he could help the two save some soul power used to resist the cold air.
Being held by Huo Yuhao's firm and powerful hand, Zhang Lexuan's pretty face blushed slightly, but she didn't struggle, letting him help her resist the cold air.
This scene fell into the Snow Empress's eyes. She couldn't help but glance meaningfully at Huo Yuhao, who was using spiritual power to probe the situation, and a strange arc curved at the corner of her mouth.
"Hao, hungry, cold, want to eat grilled fish." Die Qiu's naturally distinct pretty face rarely showed a touch of grievance. She was used to the delicacies of Heaven Dou City. Gnawing on dry food in the Extreme North these days made her uncomfortable all over.
Huo Yuhao laughed dumbly and said, "Autumn, we are on the sea. Although not all sea soul beasts in the Ice Sea are fish, they are inevitably related to fish. If we grill fish here, that would be a provocation to all sea soul beasts."
"Snow Empress is here, Autumn is not afraid." Die Qiu decisively grabbed the Snow Empress's arm and shook it coquettishly.
Through getting along these days, the Snow Empress was very fond of this emotionless girl Die Qiu. Because of her arrival, the entire Extreme North was also protected by fortune.
"You..." The Snow Empress scraped the tip of her nose. She also knew that this move was a provocation to sea soul beasts, so naturally, she couldn't let her mess around.
At this time, Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something. His smile slowly subsided, and his burning gaze looked in a direction.
On a huge iceberg in the distance, cold gazes were being cast in their direction.
It was a group of huge marine creatures. Looking around, there were at least a hundred of them, all crawling on an iceberg.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao also felt their strong hostility.
The Snow Empress's pretty face also changed. Her eyesight was far inferior to Huo Yuhao's. It wasn't until the boat got close that she saw clearly what it was.
They were completely black soul beasts of varying sizes. The largest one was over ten meters long, emitting a faint blue light all over its body. The smallest one was only over a meter long. Each one had two long, sharp fangs in its mouth.
"Sea Demon Walrus?"
Hearing the Snow Empress's exclamation, Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned. Could it be such a coincidence?
The Sea Demon Walrus was a well-known type of sea soul beast and was very representative.
When Zhang Lexuan studied at Shrek Academy, she had learned about this kind of soul beast.
The Sea Demon Walrus was a relatively docile soul beast. Its biggest characteristic was having super strong defense.
An adult Sea Demon Walrus would be over seven meters long. The so-called adult referred to having a cultivation of more than a hundred years. An adult sea soul beast over seven meters long was very huge, and just the thickness of its skin would exceed ten centimeters.
The skin of the Sea Demon Walrus was extremely tough and had super strong resistance to any physical attack. And the Sea Demon Walrus in the Ice Sea also had very strong resistance to ice and fire attribute attacks.
The author fell into contemplation. The Mermaid Princess is certainly of no use to the current protagonist, but this plot is definitely needed. Mermaid, the perverted cook said, that is heaven!
