Background / History

Jiang Bai located the Ice Dragon resting atop an ice pillar in a secluded lake among the Far North's ice peaks. Its pure bloodline, ice attribute, flight capability, and estimated age of roughly 8,000 years matched his requirements for a fourth spirit ring. 47

The Ice Dragon held the terrain advantage and initially answered Jiang Bai's surprise attack with powerful frost breath. It destroyed an earthen wall raised through the Earth Dragon's power, but Jiang Bai exploited the moment it opened its mouth to launch Dragon Whisker Needles into its oral cavity. The needles caused incapacitating pain, allowing Jiang Bai to shatter its defense and severely injure its left wing with a flame sword. 47 48

After its defeat, the Ice Dragon voluntarily sacrificed itself rather than die permanently. Its spirit ring became Jiang Bai's fourth, while its soul, memories, intelligence, and restored body were preserved within the pagoda. Jiang Bai named it “Fourth,” a title it accepted despite apparent dissatisfaction. 48

Within the pagoda's inner world, it consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Its cultivation rose from fewer than 9,000 years to 100,000 years in less than three months, without triggering Heavenly Tribulation. 55 68

Appearance

The Ice Dragon is an ice-blue dragon whose body and scales resemble carved crystal or sapphire. At its original size, it possessed a long, elegant neck, broad wings, and a spiked tail; after its growth, it is described as a small dragon around five meters long. 47 68

• Palm-sized, blue-crystal scales with thin edges and luminous centers. 47
• Tail tapering to three sharp, ice-pick-like spikes. 47
• Translucent dragon horns that feel icy cold but smooth. 68
• Visible ice-blue mist and a freezing aura that spreads thick ice across the ground. 72

Personality

Initially, the Ice Dragon was proud, ferocious, and dismissive of Jiang Bai as an insignificant human. Its defeat left it fearful and resigned, leading it to accept sacrifice in exchange for continued existence. 47 48

After entering the pagoda, it became curious and somewhat shy around Jiang Bai, still unaccustomed to communicating with a human as an equal. Its later behavior is openly affectionate and dependent, including rubbing its head against Jiang Bai's leg after reaching 100,000 years of cultivation. 48 68

Abilities & Skills

Frost Breath and Ice Manipulation

The Ice Dragon commands powerful ice-attribute energy and can unleash freezing breath attacks.

• Its frost breath froze and shattered Jiang Bai's Earth Dragon-enhanced earthen wall. 47
• Its presence rapidly freezes surrounding ground and produces a visible ice-blue chill. 72
• Its innate control of ice and snow helps Jiang Bai comprehend the intent of extreme cold. 68

Flight and Aerial Combat

The Ice Dragon can take flight with its large dragon wings and attack from above.

• It left its ice-pillar nest and engaged Jiang Bai in the air after his opening attack. 47
• Its left wing was severely injured by Jiang Bai's flame sword, causing it to crash into the ice-pillar forest. 48

Spirit-Ring Possession

As Jiang Bai's fourth spirit ring, the Ice Dragon can merge into him and grant its power.

• Possession creates ice-crystal armor and alters Jiang Bai's hair and eyes to icy blue. 73
• The 100,000-year augmentation raises Jiang Bai's combat strength to the Soul Emperor level, approaching Soul Saint level. 73
• Its power provides at least forty percent of the force behind Jiang Bai's Emperor Sword: Ice Extremity Unparalleled. 68
• Its source power places a heavy burden on Jiang Bai's four-ring Soul Ancestor body despite his enhanced physique. 73

Accelerated Cultivation

The Ice Dragon can cultivate within the pagoda's inner space and feed its growth back into Jiang Bai's fourth spirit ring.

• It eagerly consumed Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow and returned to the pagoda to absorb it. 52
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and repeated Ice Marrow consumption enabled its unprecedented rise to 100,000 years. 55 68
• Its breakthrough occurred without the Heavenly Tribulation normally associated with a 100,000-year spirit beast. 68

Relationships

• Jiang Bai — Master and partner. Jiang Bai defeated it, accepted its voluntary sacrifice, preserved its consciousness in the pagoda, and named it Fourth; the Ice Dragon later becomes openly attached to him. 48 68
• Fire Dragon, Earth Dragon, and Wind Dragon — Fellow dragon beasts within Jiang Bai's pagoda. They surrounded the defeated Ice Dragon after its fall and later form Jiang Bai's four-dragon team. 48 54
• Snow Empress and Ice Empress — Their astonishment at its tribulation-free rise to 100,000 years led them to consider using Jiang Bai's pagoda for their own breakthroughs. 68 69

Trivia

• Jiang Bai's casual designation of “Fourth” prompted visible dissatisfaction before the Ice Dragon ultimately accepted it. 48
• Its 100,000-year cultivation made it Jiang Bai's strongest dragon beast, ahead of the 70,000-year Earth Dragon, 50,000-year Fire Dragon, and 40,000-year Wind Dragon. 72
