Chapter Summaries

Xuan Zi appeared and escorted Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei toward the Far North Core Region to seek treasures that could help awaken Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. When Xuan Zi’s Godly Taotie Bull phantom tried to devour Huo Yuhao’s luck, the World Auspicious Cloud struck it down, and the group continued toward the Ice Emperor Tribe’s dwelling place.

• Xuan Zi used his Soul Power to protect Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, then flew with them toward the Far North Core Region.

Huo Yuhao persuaded Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to use Xuan Zi’s protection to explore the Far North Core Region for cultivation treasures. He noticed Bei Bei’s fortune darkening and planned to exploit an impending crisis to contact Bing Bing, then pretended not to know where to find the Ice Empress’s clan.

Huo Yuhao used the Qi Observation Technique to examine the Far North Core Region’s fortune and discovered a gathering of fortune at a nearby ice mound. Bei Bei sensed something with the Light Attribute there that stirred his martial soul, and Xuan Zi hurried to take them to investigate.

• Xuan Zi protected Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei as they explored the Far North Core Region, driving off an Icefield Wolf pack with his aura.
• Huo Yuhao observed the Far North’s fortune and identified the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Titan Snow Demon King, Xiao Bai, and many other powerful soul beasts.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reflected sadly on how the soul beasts he considered kin had treated him, and Huo Yuhao changed the subject by asking about the mountain range in the distance.
• Huo Yuhao noticed an indistinct unusual shadow beyond the mountain range, then found fortune gathering at a nearby ice mound.
• Bei Bei sensed something of the Light Attribute at the ice mound stirring his martial soul, and Xuan Zi took Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei there to investigate.

Xuan Zi, Huo Yuhao, and Bei Bei discovered a Light Attribute crystal inside an Ice Mound shaped like a dragon, and Bei Bei’s martial soul reacted to it. When Xuan Zi took the crystal, the Ice Mound collapsed and released a powerful Ice Attribute aura that drew the attention of soul beasts throughout the Core Region.

• Xuan Zi recognized that the dragon-shaped Ice Mound might hold a treasure useful to Bei Bei’s Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul.
• Bei Bei sensed that the treasure was beneath the dragon’s head, and Xuan Zi broke through the ice to find a crystal containing a golden dragon-shaped pattern.

• Bei Bei confirmed that the crystal was what made his martial soul throb, and Xuan Zi pulled it from the Ice Platform.
• The Ice Mound collapsed, releasing a powerful Ice Attribute aura that stirred the soul beasts in the Core Region.

After the Ice Mound erupted with powerful Ice Attribute energy, Xuan Zi tried to evacuate Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei from the Far North Core Region, but the Titan Snow Demon King blocked their way and demanded the treasure. Huo Yuhao questioned why the beast dared challenge Xuan Zi, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• The Ice Mound collapsed and released pure Ice Attribute power, stirring a blizzard and drawing Soul Beasts, including the Far North’s three Heavenly Kings.
• Xuan Zi shielded Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei from the storm and led them toward the outskirts, while Huo Yuhao suspected the Ice Mound’s power had been part of a dead Soul Beast’s arrangement.

• A gigantic white-furred hand seized and crushed the Arctic Ice Claw Dragon, then its owner—the Titan Snow Demon King—appeared and demanded the treasure from Xuan Zi.
• Huo Yuhao wondered why the Titan Snow Demon King dared confront rank ninety-eight Xuan Zi, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stopped panicking to consider the question.

• The Titan Snow Demon King erupted with power from its bloodlines and the Far North Land, then transformed with Ultimate Ice armor.
• The Titan Snow Demon King fired its Titan Roar Cannon as Xuan Zi launched his ninth soul skill, and their attacks collided.

• The Titan Snow Demon King's diverted attack hit the arm of Xuan Zi's Martial Soul Avatar that held Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, and both disappeared.
• Xuan Zi saw his empty claw, roared in grief, and vowed to kill the Titan Snow Demon King.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealed himself and asked Snow Empress and Ice Empress to listen, prompting Ice Empress to recognize him.

Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm escaped by teleportation, while Ice Empress ordered her clan to search the Far North Land for them.

• Ice Empress and Snow Empress trapped Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in a blizzard, but Huo Yuhao activated Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s teleportation and escaped.
• Ice Empress summoned her clan and ordered them to search the Far North Land for Huo Yuhao.

After calming Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao concluded that his love for Ice Empress came from a trauma-shaped obsession and accepted that he would oppose the Ice and Snow Two Emperors. He used their Fortune to locate the Snow Empress’s chance of survival, the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, and teleported to claim it.

• Huo Yuhao used Buddha Light Crowns and the Demon Buddha Method to calm Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who fell asleep in the Spiritual Sea.

• Huo Yuhao teleported to the mountain range containing the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus and used Qi Observation Technique to locate it at the summit.

Huo Yuhao crossed the Snow Empress’s Ultimate Ice storm and found the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus she had been protecting. He took the lotus, its life-rich dew, and a Soul Bone from a dead Bighorn Sheep Soul Beast, then escaped with his haul.

• Huo Yuhao used the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Molted Skin to pass through the Snow Empress’s storm and reach the summit.

• Huo Yuhao collected the Snow Lotus Dew, uprooted the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, and placed it in Bei Bei’s Soul Tool Box.
• Huo Yuhao took everything and fled into the wind and snow, leaving the Snow Empress nothing behind.

Huo Yuhao hid in an ice crevice and decided to bond with the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus as a Companion Spirit Herb. After cutting open his chest and placing the lotus beside his heart, he watched it heal his wound and begin strengthening his body as he started cultivating.

• Huo Yuhao inventoried the frozen Bighorn Sheep Soul Beast, Snow Lotus Dew, and Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus while hiding from the Snow Empress.

Huo Yuhao woke Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and chose to search the Far North Land for a Mutated Frost Centipede as his Second Martial Soul. Meanwhile, Xuan Zi’s slaughter of Soul Beasts provoked the Far North’s powerful beasts, and the Titan Snow Demon King began gathering forces for a Beast Tide.

• Huo Yuhao woke Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, discussed the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, and asked about promising centipede-type Soul Beasts.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm described the Icefield Great Centipede, Thorn Snow Centipede, and Mutated Frost Centipede, and recommended the Thorn Snow Centipede.
• Huo Yuhao chose the Mutated Frost Centipede and set out with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to search for it using the Qi Observation Technique.
• After defeating the Titan Snow Demon King, Xuan Zi slaughtered Soul Beasts in the Far North Land, and the Ice Empress nearly killed him before he fled.
• The Titan Snow Demon King summoned his forces and other Soul Beast clans, including Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, as a Beast Tide began to form.

Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm found the Mutated Frost Centipede’s lair and discovered that the adult centipede was dead, leaving a juvenile with its Inner Core. Huo Yuhao decided they should attack the Little Mutated Frost Centipede, claiming it ought to reunite with its elder.

• Huo Yuhao used the Qi Observation Technique to locate the Mutated Frost Centipede in the Ice and Snow Mountain Range.
• Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm used Mental Detection to find a giant Mutated Frost Centipede inside a hollow ice mountain.
• Huo Yuhao realized the adult Mutated Frost Centipede was dead, even though its phantom remained above the mountain.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm scanned the adult’s body and found a juvenile Mutated Frost Centipede holding a white pearl that Huo Yuhao suspected was an Inner Core.
• Huo Yuhao told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to use Soul Impact on the Little Mutated Frost Centipede so it could reunite with its elder.

Huo Yuhao failed to capture the Little Mutated Frost Centipede after its Inner Core blocked his and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Soul Impact, but he devised a way to use the Large Mutated Frost Centipede’s intact bloodline to mutate his Second Martial Soul. The plan left Sky Dream Ice Silkworm alarmed when Huo Yuhao suggested that it could supply the martial soul’s missing soul.

• The Little Mutated Frost Centipede’s Inner Core raised a Mental Barrier against Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s attack, allowing it to escape through a tunnel beneath the Large Mutated Frost Centipede’s corpse.
• Huo Yuhao reached the corpse too late to pursue the Little Mutated Frost Centipede, and he and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm accepted that it had escaped.
• Huo Yuhao realized the corpse’s low-temperature preservation had kept its bloodline intact and proposed using it to mutate his Second Martial Soul.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm agreed that Huo Yuhao’s method might work but pointed out that the Second Martial Soul would still lack a soul.
• Huo Yuhao asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to move into his Second Martial Soul, shocking it.

Huo Yuhao tried to absorb the Mutated Frost Centipede's bloodline by eating its frozen flesh, but he became too full before gaining enough power. After realizing he could use the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus's roots to absorb bloodline power, he sent one into the centipede's flesh.

• Huo Yuhao crawled into the Mutated Frost Centipede's corpse and cut off a piece of its frozen flesh with the White Tiger Dagger.
• Huo Yuhao used the Demon Buddha Method to absorb bloodline power from over a hundred pieces of flesh, but the undigested meat filled his stomach before his Second Martial Soul could mutate.
• Huo Yuhao decided to leave the Mutated Frost Centipede's corpse and seek a Thorn Snow Centipede instead, then circulated the Demon Buddha Method to digest the flesh.
• Huo Yuhao realized that plant roots could absorb bloodline power and caused a Snow Lotus Root to grow from his chest under his control.
• Huo Yuhao sent the Snow Lotus Root into the Mutated Frost Centipede's flesh to absorb it.

Huo Yuhao absorbed the Mutated Frost Centipede’s bloodline through the Snow Lotus, refining it to transform his Second Martial Soul. He successfully summoned the martial soul, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s possession made it an independent, silkworm-like centipede instead of transforming Huo Yuhao.

• Huo Yuhao used the Snow Lotus Root to drain the Mutated Frost Centipede’s corpse of its Bloodline Power and Blood Qi Nutrients, causing the corpse to crumble into ice shards.
• The Snow Lotus grew around Huo Yuhao’s heart and produced an ice-blue seed condensed from the centipede’s Bloodline Power.
• Huo Yuhao refined the seed with the Demon Buddha Method, and his Second Martial Soul began transforming into a Mutated Frost Centipede.
• Huo Yuhao kicked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into the Martial Soul Imprint, giving the centipede martial soul a soul and letting him summon it with Ultimate Ice.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s possession made the Mutated Frost Centipede an independent entity rather than possessing Huo Yuhao, and it crawled like a silkworm.

Huo Yuhao planned to leave the Far North and considered killing Bei Bei to take his bloodline, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealed a powerful Natal Soul Ring that removed the need. Huo Yuhao spared Bei Bei for now and continued preparing to leave.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm struggled to adapt to the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul body, and Huo Yuhao decided to find a Soul Ring while leaving the Far North.
• Huo Yuhao considered killing Bei Bei and devouring his bloodline, then fleeing to the Sun Moon Continent to avoid suspicion.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm condensed a purple Natal Soul Ring and demonstrated its Frost Centipede Poison, which corroded an ice wall.
• Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm discovered that the Martial Soul had neither male nor female anatomy, then Sky Dream explained the Natal Soul Ring's abilities and limitations.
• Huo Yuhao decided not to kill Bei Bei yet, and the sleeping Bei Bei shivered as if having a nightmare.

Bei Bei woke in the snowy wilderness and discovered that Huo Yuhao’s Martial Soul awakening had transformed his appearance and given him a Frost Centipede Martial Soul. After Bei Bei learned about the unusual Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao prepared to explain what had happened to Xuan Zi and the Titan Snow Demon King.

• Bei Bei woke on Huo Yuhao’s back, mistook him for a stranger, and only recognized him after Huo Yuhao explained who he was.
• Bei Bei collapsed from hunger, and Huo Yuhao gave him roasted wolf meat after nearly three days in the wild.
