Leaving the Extreme North to Seek the Blue Silver Emperor

"Right, let's test your soul power."

Snow Empress handed over the crystal ball.

Zi Yao took it and channeled his soul power into it. In an instant, the crystal ball filled with light.

But that was all.

Without a Deity's blessing, Innate Soul Power could reach no higher than level ten. That was the law of this world.

Nor did he need an innate blessing.

After all, as his soul power increased, the Origin Power of destruction and life would gradually grow stronger as well, which would only worsen the hidden danger within his body.

As for becoming a god—

What he truly needed to consider was how to resolve the conflict between the origins of destruction and life. Becoming a god, to him, was simply going home. He could return with nothing more than a greeting.

"Looks like Innate Full Soul Power. We need to prepare a Soul Ring for Xiao Yao."

Ice Empress said it without the slightest reservation.

In her eyes, Xiao Yao was already family—one of their own. Hunting Soul Beasts for him was perfectly normal.

"But can you absorb a Soul Ring, Xiao Yao?"

"Shouldn't be a problem."

Zi Yao nodded. He had already made plans.

"Xiao Yao, is there any Soul Beast you want? Within the Extreme North, Bing'er and I can capture any Soul Beast you want."

Snow Empress asked as well.

"Mm... I do have a suitable Soul Beast in mind, but we may need to leave the Extreme North."

After thinking for a while, Zi Yao gave his answer.

"No problem. Bing'er and I will accompany you. That way, there won't be any danger."

Snow Empress rubbed Zi Yao's cheeks and agreed to his request without the slightest hesitation.

"Xue'er, you haven't left the Extreme North in tens of thousands of years. You spoil him too much."

Ice Empress said with her arms crossed.

Snow Empress's interest was piqued, and she teased, "Is that so? I wonder who's been worrying every day whether Xiao Yao will dislike flat chests once he grows up."

Ice Empress's face flushed red as she stammered, "I... I was only..."

"It's okay, Sister Bing'er. Small is cute too."

Zi Yao said sincerely.

Ice Empress's eyes lit up. She rubbed her pretty cheek against Zi Yao's. "I knew Xiao Yao had taste. You're far better than those shallow people who only care about size."

Snow Empress pushed her away. "Enough. Go notify Snow Demon. We're leaving together, and someone needs to stay behind to watch over the Extreme North."

Ice Empress pouted. Why did it have to be her? Her relationship with Xiao Yao had just begun to warm up. This was clearly an excuse for Snow Empress to monopolize him.

But when she saw Snow Empress's kindly smiling expression—

She still left the cave reluctantly.

After she left, Snow Empress lifted Zi Yao onto her soft thighs. Her pale, slender hands crossed over his chest as she held him tightly, her beautiful eyes closed.

What had happened just now still terrified her. She had nearly thought she would lose Zi Yao forever.

"Xue'er... Sister?"

Zi Yao turned back in surprise.

Snow Empress held him tighter and tighter, as though she wanted to merge him into herself.

"Sorry, Xiao Yao. Can you let Sister hold you for a while?"

Snow Empress's voice was very soft. Yet the sole ruler of the Extreme North had a faintly pleading tone in her voice.

"Mm."

Zi Yao understood that Snow Empress had truly been frightened earlier. She had even been willing to use her Origin Power to save him.

After a while, A Titan Snow Demon King as massive as a mountain arrived. His gaze was filled with envy as he looked at Zi Yao sitting between Snow Empress's thighs.

Snow Empress was the succubus of the Extreme North Ice Plain.

Nearly every accomplished ice-element Soul Beast naturally submitted to and adored her.

Yet Snow Empress was a spirit of heaven and earth, pure and flawless. Ordinary Soul Beasts could not possibly move her heart.

Back then, he had merely tried to express his feelings, only for Snow Empress to beat him until he doubted his own existence. Every bone in his body had been shattered, and from then on, he no longer dared entertain any improper thoughts.

He did not dare approach Snow Empress. From afar, he knelt and bowed.

"Honored Snow Empress, what are your orders?"

"Ice Empress and I will be leaving the Extreme North Ice Plain for a while. During this time, you will oversee the Extreme North until I return."

Leaving the Extreme North?

The Titan Snow Demon King was immensely curious.

It had been who knew how many years since Snow Empress had last left the Extreme North, and this time, she was even taking Ice Empress with her.

Could something have happened in the Soul Beast world?

Had the Star Dou Great Forest attacked?

If it knew that the Ice Snow Twin Empresses were merely helping a level-ten soul master hunt for a Soul Ring, who knew what it would think.

After making the necessary arrangements, Snow Empress and Ice Empress left the Extreme North with Zi Yao and headed toward a human city.

"Xiao Yao, where is the Soul Beast you mentioned?" Snow Empress asked.

"Hmm... in a mountain range southwest of the Sun Moon Empire."

Zi Yao thought back for a moment and pointed out the location on the map.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress did not ask for a reason. Extreme frost condensed beneath their feet as they sped through the air, leaving a trail of ice and snow across the sky.

After traveling for some time, the three stopped within a valley. The mountain walls were relatively gentle, covered in dense Blue Silver Grass that resembled a blue ocean, with many brilliant flowers scattered throughout like shining gems.

"This place is quite pretty."

Ice Empress smiled and bent down to pick a flower.

Suddenly, the previously tranquil Blue Silver Grass on the ground began to tremble slightly. Countless blades stood erect, and a chilling aura enveloped her heart.

Ice Empress was so angry that she laughed and stomped her foot.

The aura of a Fierce Beast nearing Four Hundred Thousand Years poured forth, instantly cowing all the Blue Silver Grass. Their leaves trembled gently, as though begging for mercy.

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."

She put her hands on her hips.

As a Fierce Beast nearing Four Hundred Thousand Years and ranked seventh on the continent, how could a group of plant Soul Beasts that had yet to develop intelligence dare show her disrespect?

"Please calm your anger, my lady. These children's intelligence has not yet matured, and they have offended you."

The voice of a mature woman slowly drifted out from the secluded valley.

Ice Empress put away her contempt. After sensing the area, she showed a trace of surprise.

"I never expected that such a small valley would also contain a Fierce Beast. It seems your fortune has been rather good."

"I would not dare call myself a Fierce Beast. Only after being reborn through three heavenly lightning baptisms did I luckily cultivate to this day. I have yet to break through the two-hundred-thousand-year tribulation."

A blue-haired woman slowly emerged from the valley. She had gentle features and a voluptuous figure, clad in a blue-gold dress.

Only then did Zi Yao jump down from Snow Empress's arms and get straight to the point. "Become my Soul Ring. I can help you survive the Heavenly Tribulation, and even attain godhood and immortality."

The blue-haired woman frowned.

Such words were an insult and provocation to any intelligent Soul Beast.

If Ice Empress had not been present, she would certainly have attacked Zi Yao.

"This is...?"

"His identity is not something you are qualified to know. Just do as he says."

Snow Empress said coldly.

Though she released no aura, the domineering presence of a Peerless Fierce Beast was enough to make the Blue Silver Emperor's body tremble slightly.

Glancing at the silent Ice Empress beside her, the Blue Silver Emperor roughly guessed Snow Empress's identity, and her heart filled with astonishment.

A human boy could actually make two renowned Fierce Beasts personally escort him?

Just what was his background?

Zi Yao paid no attention to her speculation and continued calmly:

"You are very fortunate. Though you were originally just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, you underwent three heavenly lightning baptisms, giving you the chance to grow into a generation of Fierce Beast."

"But you understand it yourself—you are ultimately only an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, different from a true Blue Silver Emperor with pure bloodline. You will never survive the two-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation."

"Since that is the case, why cling to such an illusory throne?"

"Assist me, and I will help you become a true Blue Silver Emperor. Even a Deity Position may not be impossible."

As he spoke, he spread open his left hand, and pure, dense Life Origin blossomed like a lotus.
