Chapter 53 Ninth on the Soul Beast Ranking.
Snow Empress Makes the List 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 ascension spread across the entire continent like a tsunami.
Seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, dual extreme attributes, control over life and death… this emerald swan had already become one of the most feared existences on the continent.
Meanwhile, by 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.
"Next, who's next?"
Her voice was gentle yet carried a hint of majesty, echoing like heavenly music throughout the entire Lake of Life.
[Eighth on the Soul Beast Ranking: Snow Empress]
[Age: 710,000 years]
[Affiliation: Far North]
[Evaluation: Her true form is an Ice and Snow Maiden, born and raised by nature, the strongest soul beast in the Far North. Legend says she possesses the bloodline of the Ice God and has three ultimate techniques: "Emperor's Palm, Emperor's Sword, and Emperor's Frost Sky."]
[Reward: Cultivation increased by 130,000 years, Ice God bloodline increased by 20%.]
The Far North is a vast, icy plain.
Goose-feather snowflakes dance in the air, biting winds whipping up ice shards, howling and raging across the boundless snowfield. This is a forbidden zone for life, yet a paradise for the soul beasts of the Far North.
In the center of the icy plain, a majestic palace forged from millennia-old ice stands silently, its roof covered in thick snow, the ice crystals reflecting a cold luster, like the abode of the Ice Goddess.
In the plaza in front of the palace, several figures stand proudly in the snow.
Leading them is a figure dressed in white, appearing to be only 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 was the Snow Empress, the true form of the Ice and Snow Maiden, the uncrowned queen of the far north.
Beside her, the Ice Empress, dressed in a long emerald green dress, stared wide-eyed.
Beside the Ice Empress stood a tall, imposing figure, his entire body covered in snow-white fur, his enormous bear paws gleaming with a cold light—it was Little White, a member of the clan of Little White, the Ice Bear King of the far north.
On Little White's other side stood an even larger being, tens of feet tall, his entire body covered in thick ice and snow armor, like a moving iceberg—it was the Titan Snow Demon King.
As the light screen of the Soul Beast Ranking pierced through the swirling snow and reflected on the horizon of the far north ice plains, a subtle ripple appeared for the first time in the Snow Empress's crystal-clear eyes.
"Soul Beast Ranking…eighth?"
Her clear, cold voice was like shattered ice, gentle yet carrying an undeniable majesty.
She gazed at the words "Eighth Place" slowly appearing on the light 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.
The Ice Emperor's pupils contracted sharply, a flicker of disbelief flashing in her icy eyes: "Seven hundred thousand years... and she's only ranked eighth?"
Little White the Ice Bear scratched its head, its massive bear face filled with a mixture of honesty and shock.
"What? The Snow Emperor is only eighth after seven hundred thousand years? How strong must those ahead be?"
The Titan Snow Demon King let out a deep roar, a layer of chill emanating from its thick ice armor, clearly also shocked by the ranking.
Below on the icy plains, countless soul beasts looked up at the light screen in the sky, their eyes filled with shock and awe.
"It's the Snow Emperor!"
"Seven hundred thousand years! And she's 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 clan knelt on the ground, their massive bodies trembling against the ice.
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion clan prostrated themselves 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 towards the direction of the Snow Empress.
They all knew that the Snow Empress was not only the ruler of the far north but also the inheritor of the Ice God's legacy.
The Ice God's bloodline flowing within her gave her potential and strength far exceeding that of other soul beasts of the same rank.
In front of the palace, the Snow Empress's gaze fell upon the reward of "20% increase in Ice God's bloodline," a hint of anticipation flashing in her cold eyes.
She was born of the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of the far north, sharing the same birth method as the ancient Ice God, and was of the Ice God's kin.
For countless 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 undoubtedly offered her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Boom—!"
Before the Snow Empress could ponder further, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky.
This pillar of light differed from the dual-colored energy that Bi Ji had obtained; it was pure to the extreme, an indescribable ice-blue color, containing boundless and vast ice divine power, as if poured directly from the Ice God's divine kingdom.
The pillar of light pierced through the swirling snow and instantly enveloped the Snow Empress's body.
The boundless energy surged into her body like a rushing river, and the Snow Empress's aura began to soar at a visible speed.
710,000 years, 720,000 years, 730,000 years…
The torrent of energy was unstoppable, her cultivation level rose like a rocket, the earth's vein power beneath the ice was frantically activated, and the entire far northern ice plain trembled slightly.
Finally, as the torrent of energy subsided, the Snow Empress's cultivation level stabilized at 840,000 years!
This ultimate ice cultivation of 840,000 years caused the air around her to condense into ice crystals, the temperature within a thousand miles to plummet, even the howling winds seemed frozen, leaving only extreme stillness in the world.
Even more astonishing was the pure power of the Ice God's bloodline, which, like spring rain, seeped into her entire being.
The Snow Empress could clearly feel the Ice God's bloodline within her rapidly awakening, its previously dormant power being awakened one by one. Faint ice crystal patterns appeared on her skin, the phantom of the Ice God was reflected in her eyes, and a sacred pressure originating from ancient times slowly emanated from her body.
"Buzz—!"
The Snow Empress raised her hand, and a wisp of ice-blue energy condensed in her palm.
Instantly, the world changed color.
The blizzard abruptly ceased, countless ice crystals condensing in the air into a crystal-clear longsword. Ice God runes flowed across its blade, emanating a world-destroying aura.
This was one of her three ultimate techniques, the Emperor's Sword!
Immediately afterward, she formed a palm with her fingers and gently pressed it down onto the icy plain below.
"Emperor's Palm!"
A clear, cold shout rang out, and a gigantic, ice-blue palm descended from the sky, like the heavens pressing down.
Wherever it passed, the ice instantly froze, forming an endless icy plain. The extreme chill contained within the palm's force was enough to make any soul beast tremble in fear.
