Extreme North Three Heavenly Kings' Second Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion

"Since you asked so sincerely, I'll graciously tell you—I am the Incarnation of Justice and Wisdom, the first million-year soul beast in Douluo Continent's history, the first to create a Wisdom Soul Ring and make history—Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!"

"Million... million-year soul beast!" Qian Renxue felt her worldview violently shatter.

First Huo Yuhao came from ten thousand years ago, now they were about to face a 380,000 Year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and now a million-year soul beast had appeared.

Qian Renxue's mind spun dizzily.

Huo Yuhao told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that Qian Renxue was a trustworthy companion; otherwise, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wouldn't have revealed his identity.

Huo Yuhao then recounted his encounter with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, omitting any mention of Electrolux.

"So..." Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, her jade hands gripping Huo Yuhao's shoulders tightly. "You really come from ten thousand years in the future!"

Qian Renxue was terrified that this glimmer of hope before her would slip away.

"Sis, you've asked that question many times already!" Huo Yuhao glanced at Snake Lance Douluo, frozen into an ice sculpture. "Hurry and store him in your soul tool. Being frozen briefly as an ice sculpture isn't life-threatening for a Titled Douluo."

Qian Renxue nodded. As the Young Master of Martial Soul Hall, she naturally had a Storage Soul Tool. After storing the frozen Snake Lance Douluo inside, she found a spot behind a rock, slipped on the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Exuviae at astonishing speed, and then changed into her clothes before coming out.

"No wonder you don't feel the cold. This Ice Silkworm Exuviae is incredible." Qian Renxue couldn't help praising it. Feeling no cold at all, even when the outside temperature was dozens of degrees below zero, her whole body stayed warm.

"Sis, let's go. Don't speak for now—let me handle everything." Huo Yuhao took Qian Renxue's jade hand. Given the harsh ecological conditions, Qian Renxue didn't fuss about it.

Their pace quickened noticeably. Few soul beasts lived here. The Extreme North's utter lack of human presence was primarily due to its blizzard-ravaged environment.

"Brother Tianmeng, how much further?" Huo Yuhao asked, enduring the severe cold. Even after consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, once the temperature dropped to a certain point, he still felt the chill.

"Almost there! Just a few hundred meters ahead!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said firmly.

Qian Renxue looked around the unfamiliar surroundings—a vast white world of ice and snow, with the only landmark being the massive mountain before them.

Meeting Huo Yuhao and embarking on such a thrilling adventure filled Qian Renxue with excitement. Nothing like this had ever happened in her twenty years of life.

"Little girl, I'm about to call out to Ice Empress. During that time, the exuviae you're wearing is the big treasure for subduing her. So you must endure the cold!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice echoed in Qian Renxue's ear.

"Don't worry. For my younger brother to subdue the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, I can handle this cold!" Qian Renxue nodded seriously, exchanging a glance with Huo Yuhao. Both nodded.

"Good girl! I knew I wasn't wrong about you!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang in Qian Renxue's ear before shifting to Huo Yuhao's.

Following Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's instructions, Huo Yuhao, holding the White Tiger Dagger, spent half a day carving out an ice shelter big enough for two—and that was with Qian Renxue's help.

Qian Renxue and Huo Yuhao huddled inside the ice shelter. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice came again: "Xiao Yuhao, I'm about to start. You've taken the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. The Extreme North Core Circle's climate is harsh, but with your cold resistance, I'm not worried about you."

"And you, little girl. My exuviae is about to be stripped from you. At that moment, you'll feel like you've fallen from warmth straight into an ice pit. If you're not careful, it could be life-threatening!"

"Strip it. I can hold on." Qian Renxue wrapped her thick fur robe tighter. At that moment, Huo Yuhao grasped her jade hand, pouring a steady stream of soul power into her.

Qian Renxue paused briefly, then opened her fur robe and wrapped it around both herself and Huo Yuhao.

Feeling the soft warmth of Qian Renxue's delicate body and the unconscious brush of cheek against cheek was undoubtedly a potent shock for the rapidly developing youth Huo Yuhao.

Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed slightly. This was her first time being so close to the opposite sex. She took a deep breath, steadied her mind, and circulated her dense soul power within.

Just then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made his move.

The first white soul ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet lit up. Accompanied by an intense mental wave, a strong dizziness spread through Huo Yuhao's entire body. Fortunately, Qian Renxue caught him, keeping him from falling.

The white soul ring quietly emerged, and Huo Yuhao lost control of his body. In that moment, his senses felt like a bird soaring in the sky, overlooking the earth from above.

Centered on Huo Yuhao, an invisible danger instantly radiated across the vast, boundless Life Forbidden Zone spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Qian Renxue was astonished to find that the Huo Yuhao in her arms suddenly exuded an aura of dominance. What shocked her most, however, was that the white soul ring had now transformed into a dazzling gold.

"So this is a million-year soul ring!" Qian Renxue gasped, instinctively tightening her hold on Huo Yuhao. The next second, she cried out in surprise as the exuviae clinging to her delicate body vanished without warning.

Piercing cold began spreading across Qian Renxue's skin. She felt as if her blood was freezing solid.

At the same time, beams of golden light flew from Huo Yuhao's brow—nine golden lights in total. These were the nine seals set by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Huo Yuhao regained control of his body. Thanks to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass he'd consumed, he had excellent resistance to the severe cold. But Qian Renxue was another matter. He slowly channeled his soul power into her, along with traces of the still-undigested Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Only then did Qian Renxue's pretty face turn from pale to rosy, her body gradually shaking off the cold. Throughout it all, their hands remained tightly clasped, never separating.

The nine light clusters coalesced into a humanoid form strikingly similar to Huo Yuhao. A powerful mental will radiated outward from the spirit body formed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "Ice Empress, I know you can sense me. It's me! Sky Dream Ice Silkworm has returned! And this time, I will defeat you!"

Just then, the thick dark clouds in the sky churned, turning an emerald green. An intensely powerful current of cold air spread out.

"Tian Meng, you're still alive. Worthy of being the Extreme North's number one in longevity. I believe that after devouring you, I will become Douluo Continent's number one soul beast." A crisp voice sounded from all directions. Accompanied by a rumbling loud noise, an emerald green scorpion appeared before Qian Renxue and Huo Yuhao.
