Ice and Snow Two Emperors, Heaven and Earth Blessing

This scorpion was about one and a half meters long and had only two colors on its body.

One was a transparent hue like ice, while the other was jade green.

The front of its body consisted of four overlapping segments, each slightly over half a foot long. Its head sat atop the foremost segment, its silvery-white mouthparts gleaming with an eerie cold light.

The four overlapping segments of its forebody were covered in a peculiar kind of scale—or rather, protrusions.

They were hexagonal bumps that gleamed with incomparable brilliance, like diamonds.

These protrusions densely covered its forebody as well as its six slender, powerful legs.

Under the reflection of the snow's light, they radiated an unparalleled dazzling brilliance.

At that moment, it seemed to have become a source of light itself, refracting a myriad of colors.

Its two front pincers were each a meter long, likewise covered in those strange diamond-like hexagonal protrusions.

Only the foremost claws, like its mouthparts, were silvery white with a mirror-like sheen.

Its eyes were even more peculiar. They were yellow, like two yellow diamonds set into its body. They too were hexagonal, flashing with crystalline golden light and giving off the luster of treasure.

Its hind body trailed a jade-green scorpion tail.

Unlike the many-jointed tails of ordinary scorpions, this long tail had only five segments in total, every one an alluring jade green.

The jade green shimmered with the glow of life. All five segments were the same color, with the one closest to its upper body being the widest, narrowing farther toward the end.

At the final segment, a tail hook studded with diamond-like granules was held high. Its sharpest tip likewise gleamed with a silvery-white, mirror-like luster.

The entire scorpion was as dazzling as a gemstone, so beautiful it was almost blinding.

Uncle Tian looked at the beautiful scorpion without the slightest change in expression. "Ice Empress?"

That was right. This beautiful scorpion was the Ice Empress, ranked second among the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North—a super soul beast with 390,000 years of cultivation, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

"Di Tian, why have you come to the Extreme North instead of staying in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"And what exactly is going on here?"

The Ice Empress looked at the astonishing sight several hundred meters away and asked.

"Ice Empress, are you questioning this king?"

Uncle Tian cast the Ice Empress a glance, his contempt utterly undisguised.

It was as though the renowned Ice Empress of the Extreme North was not worth his notice at all.

"Di Tian, you!"

The Ice Empress's clear voice carried suppressed fury, yet she made no move.

If it had been anyone else who dared look down on her, she would have torn them to pieces long ago, given her temperament.

But things were different now.

True, she was furious, but she also knew just how terrifying the man before her was.

Even here in the Extreme North, her home ground, she could not possibly be his match.

His strength far surpassed hers.

Yet she was proud by nature. How could she yield so easily? "Di Tian, your cultivation is indeed formidable, but this is the Extreme North. The Extreme North still has the Snow Empress. This is not a place where you can run wild."

"Then we'll wait until the Snow Empress arrives," Uncle Tian said blandly.

"Oh, she's really here."

Uncle Tian raised his head slightly. From afar, he sensed an astonishing aura rapidly bearing down on them.

That aura was icy cold, yet it carried the domineering majesty of an emperor. Even Uncle Tian's expression turned serious.

Whoosh!

Goose-feather snow began to whirl through the sky as a graceful figure slowly descended from the endless wind and snow.

She had long, snow-white hair cascading behind her, falling straight to her feet. Her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and limpid, as though they could see through everything in the world.

Her luxurious, exquisite ice-blue gown perfectly displayed her slender, delicate body and flawless figure.

Her snowy skin was crystalline like jade, smooth and translucent.

Her face was even more breathtakingly beautiful, the finest creation of heaven itself—truly flawless. She resembled a plum blossom in the depths of winter, cold and noble, proud amid snow and frost.

"Snow Empress!"

Seeing the Snow Empress arrive, the Ice Empress visibly brightened.

In her view, now that the Snow Empress had come, there was no need to fear Di Tian.

"Bing'er!"

The Snow Empress smiled faintly at the Ice Empress before slowly turning her gaze toward Uncle Tian.

"Beast God Di Tian!"

"Ice Sky Snow Empress!"

The Snow Empress and Uncle Tian locked eyes.

"Di Tian, as the guardian of the Star Dou Great Forest, what brings you to my Extreme North?"

Snow Empress looked solemnly at Uncle Tian—Beast God Di Tian, a true peak powerhouse.

Even she was somewhat inferior to him in cultivation.

However, with the Extreme North as her home ground, she did not fear him all that much.

"I came for some personal matters."

Uncle Tian looked toward the ice-blue barrier in the distance and sighed softly.

If it had been Ice Empress, he would not have bothered explaining at all.

But Snow Empress was different. She was an ice-and-snow spirit born of the Extreme North, with cultivation nearing seven hundred thousand years. She was the undisputed Dominator of the Extreme North.

Even he could not easily defeat Snow Empress within the Extreme North.

In a sense, Snow Empress could be considered an existence on the same level as him.

"Oh?"

Snow Empress looked into the distance, and her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed. "A blessing from the Extreme North World?"

"And it's a human?"

Snow Empress's expression instantly turned grave as she stared at the unimaginable scene before her.

A human could actually make the Extreme North World bestow its blessing of its own accord?

And how had Di Tian become involved with a human?

From the looks of it, he even seemed to be standing guard for this human child.

This was simply unbelievable!

This was Beast God Di Tian!

"He is no ordinary human. He is someone acknowledged by Master."

Uncle Tian said calmly.

"Acknowledged by the Dominator?"

Snow Empress's pupils contracted at once.

She actually knew that within the Star Dou Great Forest slept the true great Dominator of the Soul Beast clan.

It was an existence to whom all Soul Beasts had to pledge their loyalty.

When necessary, even she had to obey the commands of that great Dominator.

How could she not be shocked upon hearing Di Tian's words?

"Moreover, he..."

"What about him?" Snow Empress pressed.

But Uncle Tian fell silent, merely saying indifferently, "Do not ask. Knowing too much will do you no good."

"Even I am not qualified to know?" Snow Empress asked.

"The fewer people who know, the better," Uncle Tian said.

Snow Empress was not part of the direct lineage, so there were some things he would not reveal to her.

Hearing this, Snow Empress's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She looked at the ice-blue barrier in the distance and fell into thought.

This human child likely harbored an enormous secret.

Moreover, the Extreme North World's blessing was an astonishing sight unlike anything ever seen before.

She was the daughter of the Extreme North World, as well as its Dominator. Now that someone as special as Su Yu had appeared—someone capable of receiving the Heavenly Favor of the Extreme North World—how could she possibly not care?
