Background / History

Rise in the Extreme North

Ice Empress began by cultivating poison before turning to ice. Her rise to become the second Heavenly King of the Extreme North is described as legendary even within the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. As its sole Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, she remained without a partner for hundreds of thousands of years despite numerous suitors, including Sky Dream Ice Silkworm 58.

She had also pursued Snow Empress for countless millennia. Raising Zi Yao eventually gave her the opportunity to live under the same roof as Snow Empress, fulfilling a long-held wish 3.

Adoption of Zi Yao

When Snow Empress found Zi Yao outside her cave, Ice Empress initially suggested returning the human infant to a human city. She accepted Snow Empress's decision to keep him, then joined her in a bargain with the God of Destruction: they would care for Zi Yao and ensure his healthy growth in exchange for help bypassing one Heavenly Tribulation each 2 3.

Ice Empress organized suitable nursing beasts by ordering her Ice Scorpions to gather lactating females from nearby species. She and Snow Empress subsequently took turns caring for Zi Yao, and by his Martial Soul awakening she already regarded him as family 3 5.

Profound Ice Cave and Breakthrough

Ice Empress accompanied Zi Yao out of the Extreme North to obtain his first Soul Ring from the Blue Silver Emperor. Zi Yao later negotiated access to Earth Dragon Gate's Cold Spring, beneath which the empresses discovered a Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave 5 8 9.

The cave contained the Profound Ice Marrow Ice Empress had sought for countless tens of thousands of years. Both empresses entered seclusion there, leaving Zi Yao under Nan Shui Shui's protection. Ice Empress emerged six years later with her tribulation injuries healed and her cultivation raised to 400,000 years 10 16 17.

Appearance

Ice Empress's human form combines a petite, youthful appearance with the commanding presence of an ancient fierce beast 2 16 17.

• Hair: Emerald-green hair worn in twin tails 16 17.
• Eyes: Golden, also described as orange-gold or pale gold 2 16 147.
• Skin: Fair and jade-like 17.
• Clothing and adornments: Introduced in a green dress; later wears a golden crown 2 17.
• Transformation limitation: Soul beasts can shape their appearance when transforming, but changing it afterward is difficult. She feels her youthful form does not suit her temperament, though she becomes less concerned when Zi Yao accepts it 17.

Personality

Ice Empress is proud, forceful, and quick to punish perceived disrespect. She expects deference from weaker beings, using her aura to cow both soul beasts and humans. Vina's mistaken assumption that she was Zi Yao's younger sister provoked enough cold pressure to freeze the hall's atmosphere 3 5 17 18.

With Zi Yao, she is playful, affectionate, and protective. She worries that his move to the Sun Moon Empire will place him beyond her immediate protection, and later extends her stay in Ming Du to deter the Holy Spirit Cult from threatening him 4 31 57.

Her affection is also possessive. She competes with Snow Empress for Zi Yao's attention and becomes jealous of his other relationships. Nevertheless, she values Snow Empress's happiness and eventually accepts sharing Zi Yao's affection with her 7 148 199.

Long separations affect her more than her imperious manner suggests. Zi Yao finds her listless and unhappy at the Dragon City branch, but she immediately brightens when he returns 198.

Abilities & Skills

Extreme Ice and Ice God Bloodline

Ice Empress possesses the Ice God Bloodline and wields Extreme Ice, which overwhelms ordinary ice attributes and suppresses Scarlet King's near-extreme Hellfire 9 18 21.

• Freezes an entire hall's atmosphere through a small release of her aura 17.
• Traps Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in mid-air with ice and frost 26.
• Uses a precise green ice beam to destroy a Cyclops's abdomen without damaging the brain she intends to eat 20.
• Her existing Extreme Ice is sufficiently powerful that an Extreme Ice Divine Crystal provides only limited additional attribute amplification 199.

Eternal Frost Domain

Eternal Frost Domain is her innate domain skill, capable of instantly freezing an area extending a thousand li 21.

• Creates an advantageous frozen battlefield even outside the Extreme North 21.
• While holding back against Scarlet King, freezes a hundred-li area and suppresses all three of its Hellfire attacks 21.
• Makes space and time appear to slow within the extreme cold. Actually stopping time and space is described as a legendary level of Extreme Ice, not an ability she has demonstrated 21.

Fierce Beast Pressure

Her cultivation aura can immobilize or intimidate weaker soul beasts and conceal the full extent of her strength when carefully restrained 3 20.

• Freezes nearby Ice-Attribute Soul Beasts in place while gathering nursing beasts for Zi Yao 3.
• Regulates her pressure during the Star Dou hunt to avoid attracting other fierce beasts 20.
• Reveals her full 400,000-year aura against Scarlet King, establishing a cultivation gap it cannot overcome 21.

Spiritual Marking

Ice Empress can leave a mental mark on a target for tracking 19.

• Marks Huo Yuhao at Zi Yao's request 19.
• Exchanges messages through Spiritual Power, including private conversations with Snow Empress's remnant soul 58.

Frost-Assisted Flight

Ice Empress and Snow Empress condense extreme frost beneath their feet to travel rapidly through the air, leaving an ice-and-snow trail behind them 5.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow — Cultivation resource used to heal her old injuries and reach 400,000-year cultivation; she plans further absorption to reach 500,000 years 16 27.
• Ice Empress's Embrace — A Level Nine Soul Tool arm guard named and gifted by Zi Yao. Built from a 70,000-year Ice Scorpion Soul Bone and an Extreme Ice Divine Crystal, it grants an amplified Ice Blast Technique and boosts her ice attribute 198 199.
  • Its Extreme Cold Ice Blast detonates an entire ice mountain tens of meters tall during testing 199.
  • A Super Douluo caught in that blast would likely suffer severe injury or death 199.
  • Ice Blast is provided by the equipment, not transplanted into her own bloodline; innate talent abilities cannot simply be learned or transplanted 199.
• White silk stockings — A clothing gift from Zi Yao during their reunion 199.

Relationships

• Zi Yao — Adopted child, trusted companion, and later romantic interest. She raises and protects him, follows his requests even when dealing with other powerful beasts, and accepts his reassurance during bouts of jealousy 3 5 26 31 148 199.
• Snow Empress / Xue'er — Long-standing companion and former object of pursuit. Their sisterly bond coexists with rivalry over Zi Yao; Snow Empress later entrusts her with the Extreme North Soul Spirit project 3 58 147 148.
• Ice Scorpion clan — Her clan and principal subordinates. She uses its members to gather nursing beasts and later summon the Extreme North's clan leaders 3 147.
• Nan Shui Shui — Zi Yao's caretaker during the empresses' seclusion. Nan Shui Shui treats Ice Empress with deference even after becoming a Titled Douluo 10 18.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Persistent, rejected suitor whom Ice Empress regards as food. She captures it but allows Zi Yao to negotiate for its spiritual origin 26 58.
• Scarlet King — Opponent during the Star Dou hunt. His attempt to rescue the Auspicious Beast fails against her newly strengthened cultivation and Eternal Frost Domain 21.
• Three-Eyed Golden Lion / Wang Qiu'er — Initially captured as a hostage to secure safe passage through Star Dou. Later provokes Ice Empress's jealousy by discussing Zi Yao's other relationships 20 21 199.
• Vina — Human princess whose mistaken assumptions offend Ice Empress. Vina apologizes, and Zi Yao mediates before the confrontation escalates 17 18.
