Background / History

Encounter with Jiang Zhen

The Ice Empress first appears reclining against an ice wall, thinking fondly of Xue'er. A young Ice Jade Scorpion interrupts her with news that a human has approached the Extreme North Core Circle, prompting her to investigate 31.

She confronts Jiang Zhen after he returns from an underground ice-marrow vein. His unfamiliar, primordial icy aura attracts her scrutiny. When he claims to be searching for a cultivation opportunity, she tests him with ice spikes, a phantom scorpion stinger, and a close-range palm strike. His combined water-and-ice counterattack shocks her, though it leaves her uninjured, and she withdraws her killing intent to question him further 34 35.

Journey to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye

Jiang Zhen offers to lead her to an Ultimate Ice spring and immortal herbs that could help her resist Heavenly Tribulation. In exchange, she will help him overcome the site's poisonous guardian and receive first choice of the herbs. She accepts, warning him against deception 36 37.

After stopping in Dragon City, she travels south with Jiang Zhen and Ah Yin. Her interest in human food, ornaments, and city life grows despite her dismissive remarks. In Sunset Forest, she helps locate the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye and freezes the poisonous flowers barring their way 38 39 40.

Jiang Zhen gives her the Cold Marrow Ganoderma and Ice Vortex Profound Soul Fruit. She also gathers cold-attributed spiritual herbs for herself and the Snow Empress, then returns north with ten pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow supplied by him 41 43 47.

Breakthrough and Return North

At the Ice Palace, she shares the treasures and her experiences with the Snow Empress. Their seclusion results in the Ice Empress reaching 400,000-year cultivation and the Snow Empress reaching 700,000 years. Afterward, she brings the Snow Empress to cultivate in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye's Ultimate Ice Spring 59 62.

She later guides Jiang Zhen north to find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. After he kills it and absorbs its Soul Ring, she feeds on its flesh and brings the remainder home for her clan. She entrusts its distribution to Elder Bi Ling and attends to clan affairs while Jiang Zhen gains the young scorpions' affection 69 70 71 72.

She protects Jiang Zhen's cultivation in her territory, spars with him after he reaches Rank 80, and accompanies him into the Extreme North Ice Sea. Witnessing his defeat of the Sea Princess makes her realize that he had held back during their match 73 74 76.

Romance and Later Actions

While the Sea Princess considers sacrificing her cultivation, the Ice Empress asks why Jiang Zhen has not offered her the same arrangement. He refuses to ask this of her because of their friendship. Their bond becomes explicitly romantic during a moonlit rooftop conversation, when she questions whether they are merely friends and they share a kiss 77 102.

She subsequently dates Jiang Zhen in Heaven Dou City and continues accompanying him. Her ruthless side remains intact: she freezes Li Yusong and Shao Xin into ice sculptures, later helps retrieve Tang Hao's Spirit Bones, and joins the Snow Empress and Zi Ji in annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan 104 120 122 187 188.

Appearance

Human Form

The Ice Empress takes the form of a petite girl with a fair, delicate face and an emerald-green dress. Her presence radiates enough cold to lower the surrounding temperature even while she is resting 31 34.

• Hair: Long, dark green hair that blends visually with her dress 31.
• Eyes: Clear, gemstone-like emerald-green eyes 31 34.
• Facial markings: Four emerald-green demonic or magical markings on each side of her face 31 34.
• Skin: White and translucent, with a faint, cold jade-like glow 31.
• Icy aura: Snowflakes circle around her as she descends; her cold and pressure crack and refreeze the ice beneath her feet 34.

True Form

• Length: Approximately 1.5 meters 71 73.
• Carapace: Four layered front-body plates resembling ice crystal and jade, covered in hexagonal protrusions 71.
• Legs: Six slender, powerful legs with matching hexagonal protrusions 71.
• Pincers: Large, silver-white pincers with exceptional cutting power 71 73.
• Tail: Five emerald-green segments ending in a silver-white stinger 73.
• Mouthparts: Silvery white and radiating cold 71.

Personality

The Ice Empress is proud, territorial, and quick to dismiss opponents she considers weak. She initially treats Jiang Zhen as an intruding human whose claims do not merit belief, and takes offense when he withstands her probing attacks. His strength and unusual elemental abilities nevertheless persuade her to reconsider him 35 36.

Her aloofness often conceals curiosity or affection. She criticizes human cities while examining them with interest, rejects a hairpin before stopping Jiang Zhen from throwing it away, and describes him as infuriating yet generous when recounting her travels to the Snow Empress 38 39 59.

She is responsible toward her clan and deeply invested in the Snow Empress's welfare, gathering cultivation resources for both. With Jiang Zhen, she gradually becomes shy, emotionally vulnerable, and openly affectionate. She also shows romantic competitiveness when thinking about his other companions 43 47 72 102 149 186.

Her tenderness does not extend indiscriminately to enemies. She treats freezing Li Yusong and Shao Xin as casually as swatting flies and participates without mercy in the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan 120 188.

Abilities & Skills

Ultimate Ice Manipulation

• Condenses barrages of piercing ice spikes through thought alone, without using a named Soul Skill. Even her probing attack exceeds an ordinary Spirit Emperor's full-force strike 35.

• Freezes turbulent air currents to form a stable crossing over a bottomless ice crevasse 37.

• Eternal Freeze Domain: Spreads emerald-green light that deepens existing ice into dark-green, seemingly unmelting profound ice 187.

• Battles Rank 80 Jiang Zhen for half an hour, using freezing, piercing, venom, and domain attacks 73.
• Neither combatant uses every trump card in that spar; afterward, she recognizes that his strength has surpassed hers 73.
• Yu Yuanzhen perceives her and the Snow Empress as Peak Douluo-level opponents during their attack on his clan 187.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Aura-concealing pill — Conceals her Fierce Beast origin aura without reducing her strength, allowing her to travel to Spirit Hall without that exposure 111.

Relationships

• Jiang Zhen — Initially a trespasser, then an ally, friend, sparring partner, and romantic partner. He accepts her Soul Beast form and refuses to seek her sacrifice 34 37 73 77 102.
• Snow Empress / Xue'er — Her closest northern companion, with a sister-like bond. She gathers treasures for Xue'er's breakthrough and later enthusiastically supports her growing closeness with Jiang Zhen 31 43 59 149.

• Sea Princess — Accompanies Jiang Zhen into her territory and witnesses her defeat. She later watches Jiang Zhen and the Sea Princess's phantom spirit with complicated, unspoken feelings 74 76 79.

• Zi Ji — Combat ally during the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan 187 188.
