Snow Empress

The Ice Empress stared at Huo Yuhao, her killing intent receding as she saw he wasn't joking at all.

"The Snow Empress is different from me. She's an incredibly proud Soul Beast and wouldn't easily submit to a human."

Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, "That's not necessarily true. The Snow Empress went through the trouble of condensing a Yin-Yang complementary dual Soul Core, which shows she still desires to live."

"Ice Empress, as long as you're willing to listen to me, I'm confident I can persuade the Snow Empress to join us."

"If you'd rather watch the Snow Empress and yourself be separated forever, then forget I said anything!"

The Ice Empress gazed into Huo Yuhao's eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul, and he wasn't lying.

Ultimately, her own selfish desires got the better of her. The Ice Empress relented, "Alright, I promise. What do you want me to do?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "It's very simple. First, you'll need to swear an oath, binding our lives together."

"Then I'll go talk to the Snow Empress. You just need to give her a push at the crucial moment!"

"That simple? Are you sure?" The Ice Empress's voice carried a hint of doubt.

"The Snow Empress isn't like me. She won't easily bow her head, especially not to a human."

"Just watch!"

They were heading to the absolute core of the Extreme North!

"Bing Bing, so you're saying the Snow Empress's 600,000-year tribulation is coming soon."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual body floated outside, rubbing against the Ice Empress's emerald tail.

The Ice Empress was incredibly annoyed, flicking her long scorpion tail back and forth, trying to shake Tian Meng off.

After a while, the Ice Empress realized Tian Meng wasn't affected at all. Right, this guy was a spiritual body; physical methods were useless.

The Ice Empress glared fiercely at Tian Meng, "Tian Meng, get off my tail right now."

"Just because I've joined you doesn't mean I accept you!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's small face kept nuzzling against her favorite tail.

"Oh, don't be like that, Bing Bing. It was so hard for me to get over my unrequited love."

"Since I helped you find a path to eternal life, can you indulge me just this once, okay?"

"Get lost!"

Huo Yuhao rode on the rapidly moving Ice Empress's back. The Ice Empress was currently in her Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion true form.

Sitting on the Ice Empress's crystal-like carapace, Huo Yuhao pondered what he would say to the Snow Empress.

Undoubtedly, persuading the Snow Empress head-on would be extremely difficult, with very little hope.

The Snow Empress was even prouder than the Ice Empress. Without being pushed to the brink, the proud Heavenly Snow Woman would never yield to a human.

Huo Yuhao needed to bring out some heavy artillery, to directly suppress the Snow Empress's arrogance, and only then could negotiations proceed.

Combining this with a bit from his original timeline, even after regaining her memories, the Snow Empress still had the White Ice Bear King call Huo Yuhao an outsider.

The Snow Empress's heart lacked love, meaning there was a certain vulnerability within her.

As long as Huo Yuhao could break through the Snow Empress's external defenses, victory wouldn't be far off.

To deal with the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng used a combination of hard and soft tactics, and the Ice Empress complied.

When dealing with the Snow Empress, her lack of love meant her personality would surely be more extreme than the Ice Empress's.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao had to be even more extreme at the start, using various methods to put the Snow Empress at a disadvantage, thus creating an opportunity for her to join willingly.

Whether to be hard or soft afterward would depend on the Snow Empress's specific situation.

The Ice Empress had already sworn an oath in the name of the Ice God, her life now intertwined with Huo Yuhao's.

Huo Yuhao had no need to worry about his life when he went to persuade the Snow Empress this time.

If he won, the Snow Empress would join completely ahead of schedule, and Huo Yuhao would gain immensely.

If he lost, Huo Yuhao wouldn't fear being killed by the Snow Empress.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao had a lot of room to maneuver on this trip. To put it bluntly, he was aiming for victory.

If this endeavor succeeded, Huo Yuhao might have the confidence to surpass his achievements in his original timeline.

"We've arrived, the Snow Empress's Ice Palace."

"Wow! It's still as beautiful as before."

"Ice Empress, should we go in directly?"

"The Snow Empress is still in seclusion. Don't come down, Yuhao. I'll take you in."

The Ice Empress carried Huo Yuhao into the Snow Empress's Ice Palace.

Passing through the opulent hall, the Ice Empress arrived at an ice wall and passed right through it.

When Huo Yuhao's vision cleared, he discovered that behind the wall was another world.

"This is where the Snow Empress usually meditates. Only she and I know about this place," the Ice Empress said, setting Huo Yuhao down with her slender, emerald scorpion tail.

Huo Yuhao walked up to the crystal-like great door. He could feel an extremely violent ice power emanating from within.

The Ice Empress also walked to the door. "Why is Xue'er's power so violent? Is she going to fail?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, being a spiritual body, concealed all its aura and poked its head inside.

As soon as it entered, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt an ice and snow power, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, washing over its face indiscriminately.

The room behind the door was empty inside, with no decorations.

The four walls were constructed from ice that had never melted in ten thousand years.

In the center of the room, above a radiant and resplendent snowflake pattern.

A peerlessly beautiful woman sat cross-legged, her expression filled with pain.

Above the woman's head, a black hole-like sphere was devouring and releasing uncontrolled ice power. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm withdrew its head.

"The Snow Empress is in a very bad state. I estimate the construction of her Soul Core is about to fail."

"What? The Snow Empress!" The Ice Empress cried out sadly, her scorpion pincers touching the great door separating her from the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress was suffering inside, yet she could do nothing here.

"Bing'er, don't be sad. Failure won't kill her. She just needs to rest for a while longer," the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm comforted.

The Ice Empress, however, retorted, "Shut up, Tian Meng. Is this something that can be fixed by resting for a while? This will damage her foundation, and Xue'er is such a proud person."

"Do you know how long she's been working towards this condensed Yin-Yang complementary dual Soul Core? How many rare treasures has she collected?"

"Xue'er, you must not have an accident!"

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, had his own thoughts. He entered his Sea of Consciousness. Wasn't there a powerful being here?

"Elder Yi, are you there? This request might be a bit presumptuous."

"I'd like to ask you, do you have a method to save the Snow Empress?"

"Save her? I do have a method, but it's a bit dangerous," Electrolux's voice sounded.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. "As expected of Elder Yi. Tell me quickly, what is this method?"

Electrolux said, "The reason that person called the Snow Empress is in such a predicament is essentially due to energy out of control."

"To save her, all you need to do is use a stronger power to suppress her energy."

"Suppress it with a stronger energy!" Huo Yuhao silently repeated the words. Then, what on him possessed energy that could overpower the Snow Empress?

"The Eye of Destiny and the Life Carver!"

Electrolux praised, "Not bad, you thought of a solution so quickly."

"However, if you are the one controlling them, their full power cannot be unleashed."

"If you trust me, I can take over your body and help you control them!"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Elder Yi, what do you mean by trust? We've been together for three years, don't I know what kind of person you are!"

"Why hesitate about something like this? Please, Elder Yi."

"You're quite the impudent little rascal!"
