I'll Beat Him Until Even His Own Mother Won't Recognize Him!

In the distant Extreme North Land, the earth lay frozen beneath bitter skies, and savage winds swept across the snow-white expanse.

Deep within the Extreme North Land, in a grand hall carved from ice, a figure who seemed painstakingly sculpted by heaven sat quietly upon the ice throne at its center.

Her long, snow-white hair fell all the way to her feet, and her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as though they could see through everything in the world. Her figure was slender, her body flawless. Her long white dress bore not a single embellishment, yet she looked pure and breathtaking, like a winter plum blossoming in the snow, peerless and proud against snow and frost. Her crystalline, jade-like bare feet rested on the ice, enough to drive every prison warden wild.

She was the absolute ruler of the Extreme North Land, ranked third among the ferocious beasts-the Heavenly Snow Woman, with six hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation!

The Snow Empress's small, fair, flawless hands gently toyed with a piece of jade, a thoughtful look surfacing in her ethereal eyes.

The Diary Copy Chat Group's chat window was clearly reflected on the jade, and her nickname was simply Xue'er.

Bing'er had chosen that group nickname for her.

The Ice Empress found the Diary Copy that had suddenly appeared in their seas of consciousness, along with this piece of jade, novel and intriguing. The Snow Empress, however, was somewhat puzzled.

She could not imagine what sort of being could plant such a thing in her sea of consciousness.

Surely even the Ice God could not accomplish that?

That would also explain why the rewards offered by this Diary Copy were so generous.

Among that long list of rewards, only one truly captivated her-overcoming the heavenly tribulation.

Clearly, this reward was aimed solely at soul beasts... or rather, it had been listed specifically for her and Bing'er.

Perhaps there were other soul beasts in that copy chat group, but as coincidence would have it, her cultivation and Bing'er's stood right on the threshold of an impending great tribulation.

And neither she nor Bing'er had any confidence that she could successfully overcome her heavenly tribulation.

Have my name appear in the diary, then receive a reward?

The Snow Empress shook her head regretfully.

She did not believe this human named Aoyao would write her name or Bing'er's in his diary.

[Nothing happened today. Off to the pleasure house-scratch that.]

[What's with this diary today? It's actually demanding that I write about Huo Gua?]

[Fine, then. I'll write!]

[Now, the tale of that Huo Gua... oh, wait, I'm writing a diary, not telling a story. Sorry, sorry~]

[I have to say, that fellow Huo Yuhao really is this world's child of destiny. It's only natural that Tang San would set his sights on him. A piece of trash with only rank-one innate soul power... all right, before I had this diary, I was trash too. But in terms of innate soul power, Huo Yuhao was a little more useless than me.]

[Although Huo Yuhao's innate rank was garbage, his luck blazed like a rainbow! He was already planning to absorb a ten-year Wind Baboon's soul ring, yet the one and only Million-Year Soul Beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, actually came knocking and volunteered to become his Wisdom Soul Ring. He even picked up a fragment of Electrolux's divine consciousness from another world along the way.]

[A Million-Year Soul Ring, a fragment of Electrolux's divine consciousness-no wonder people call him Huo Gua. The most ridiculous part is that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, that Big Bug, could actually give Huo Yuhao a second martial soul.]

[After weighing all the options for that second martial soul, he finally set his sights on the Ice Empress.]

In the ice hall, the Ice Empress sprang to her feet, her expression furious. "How dare he!?"

Of course the Ice Empress remembered that great ice silkworm named Tian Meng. The Ice Silkworm Clan was her food to begin with, especially an ice silkworm with such high cultivation. She had hunted him down, but later, that ice silkworm had vanished without a trace.

The Ice Empress had assumed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might have died long ago. After all, he was just a useless creature with hardly any offensive power. Who would have thought that he had become an unprecedented Million-Year Soul Beast, then become the Wisdom Soul Ring of that human named Huo Yuhao-and even dared to scheme against her?

That damned worm!

[Who knows what the Ice Empress was thinking? Somehow, she stumbled aboard Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's pirate ship. All that talk of creating a god... absolutely ridiculous! This is pure cheating, all right?]

[A piece of trash with rank-one innate soul power obtained a Million-Year Soul Ring and a fragment of Electrolux's divine consciousness one after another. Then the Ice Empress sacrificed herself to him, giving him the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul with its ultimate ice attribute, plus a soul ring and soul bone nearly four hundred thousand years old... if that isn't cheating, what is?]

[Oh, my cheats are stronger than Huo Yuhao's now. Never mind, then.]

Me?

Sacrifice myself to a useless human brat with only rank-one innate soul power?

Dream on!

Not in this lifetime!

The Ice Empress burned with rage, wishing she could appear before that Huo Yuhao right now and crush the damned human to death.

Pah!

You think you're worthy of having me sacrifice myself to you? Have a taste of my pincer first!

Watching the furious Ice Empress vent her anger on the hall's ice pillars, a thoughtful look appeared in the Snow Empress's eyes. She had heard Bing'er mention this soul beast called the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and she could roughly guess how he had persuaded Bing'er.

He had merely exploited Bing'er's constant fear that she could not survive her heavenly tribulation, enticing her to sacrifice herself to the boy named Huo Yuhao. With a Million-Year Soul Ring and Bing'er's sacrifice, creating a god might indeed be possible, thereby achieving eternal life through that method.

Without this diary, knowing that she could not overcome her heavenly tribulation, Bing'er would have had reason to consider this god-making plan feasible. Perhaps... she really would have chosen that path.

But now, they clearly had a better choice.

That diary... and that boy named Aoyao...

Just moments ago, the Snow Empress had thought their names could never appear in the diary, and that they could never obtain those so-called rewards from it.

But today's diary entry had given her a wholly unexpected delight.

Watching the Ice Empress continue to vent her fury, the Snow Empress smiled helplessly and said gently, "That's enough, Bing'er. Stop taking it out on the pillars."

"That damned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm! He's driving me mad!"

Hearing the Snow Empress's comforting words, the Ice Empress came over to her side, looking rather aggrieved. "Even if I die in the heavenly tribulation, I will never sacrifice myself to a human!"

"I know."

The Snow Empress gently rested her hand on the Ice Empress, her soft touch gradually soothing the Ice Empress's agitation. "The diary records things that will happen in the future. But now that we know about them in advance, it means we can prevent this from happening altogether."

Only then did the Ice Empress's anger subside, though she still gave a cold snort.

"If that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm dares to show his face before me, I'll make him pay! I'll beat him until even his own mother won't recognize him!"
