The Entire Continent Shocked! The Overlord of the Far North Broke Through Again?

(The protagonist is six years old, Tang San has been born, and the Pope is indeed Bibi Dong.)

At the same time.

Heaven Dou Empire, Martial Soul City.

In the Pope's Palace, not long after the transfer of power following Qian Xunji being wounded by Tang Hao.

Pope Bibi Dong, who was sitting upright on the throne symbolizing the highest power on the continent, suddenly opened her deep and majestic beautiful eyes.

The Pope's Scepter, inlaid with countless gems, was gripped tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Bibi Dong stood up abruptly, her magnificent Pope's robe fluttering without wind. Her stunning face was now filled with undisguised shock and solemnity.

She strode to the massive floor-to-ceiling window of the Pope's Palace, her gaze locked firmly on the distant north.

In that direction, even from ten thousand miles away, she could clearly feel an extreme chill—one that made even the two top-tier spider martial souls within her body tremble—surging straight into the sky.

"What terrifying fluctuations of ice-attribute laws... This aura is pure to the extreme, even surpassing the level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered with uncertainty as she muttered to herself:

"That direction... is the forbidden zone for humans, the Far North! Could it be that some sleeping supreme overlord of the Far North has broken through a bottleneck? Or is it that... some peerless ice-type treasure capable of changing the landscape of the continent has emerged?"

"Pass down the order!"

Bibi Dong turned around abruptly, her voice echoing through the grand hall:

"Immediately send more men to investigate the outer perimeter of the Far North! You must find out the source of this celestial phenomenon!"

Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, who was tasting tea and discussing the Dao with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong in the main hall, suddenly paused.

With a "crack," the precious white jade teacup actually developed a fissure in his grip.

A look of horror appeared on Ning Fengzhi's elegant face as he stood up abruptly and looked toward the north.

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were already on high alert.

The Seven Kill Sword behind the Sword Douluo let out a series of uneasy sword hums, and the massive frame of the Bone Douluo tensed up.

"Fengzhi, something has happened in the Far North."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's face was as heavy as water, a trace of dread flashing in his sharp eyes:

"What an overbearing chill! This aura—even if I were to unleash my seventh soul skill at my peak, I fear I would struggle to withstand its edge. What kind of monster has the Far North birthed?"

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, the situation on this continent is likely to be stirred into turmoil by the changes in the Far North. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must prepare early."

The reclusive Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire...

Even in the deepest part of the distant Star Dou Great Forest, at the Lake of Life, a pair of golden eyes as massive as the sun and moon slowly opened a slit, stimulated by this extreme chill.

"That old woman in the Far North... has she grown stronger again? No... that's not right. Although this aura shares the same origin, it carries a sense of newborn vitality... Interesting, truly interesting..."

A murmur as low as rolling thunder echoed from the bottom of the lake, and then, the golden eyes closed once more, and the Lake of Life returned to calm.

The top forces and powerful beings across the entire Douluo Continent were alarmed at this moment by the pillar of light in the north.

They speculated one after another whether it was a soul beast breaking through or a rare treasure descending, yet no one could have imagined that this grand momentum, enough to shock the entire continent, was merely a six-year-old human child awakening his martial soul!

Core area of the Far North, peak of the snow mountain.

The pillar of light reaching the sky gradually dissipated, and the wind and snow across the sky returned to calm.

The phantom of the Heavenly Snow Woman above Xue Bingchen's head also turned into specks of ice-blue starlight, merging back into his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and stars seemed to be revolving within his ice-blue pupils.

He lowered his head, looked at his own hands, and felt the vast, endless power within his body that seemed connected to heaven and earth; the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up wildly.

"Is this... the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul? Too strong! I feel like I could kill a cow with one punch right now... oh no, a ten-thousand-year soul beast!" Xue Bingchen roared excitedly in his heart.

Before he could carefully experience the changes brought by the martial soul, a fragrant breeze rushed toward him.

"Ahhhhh! Little Bingchen! You're amazing! You're simply a genius!"

Ice Empress was seen transforming into a green bolt of lightning as she rushed over, scooped Xue Bingchen up from the ground, and spun around in excitement.

"Although you didn't awaken my Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, preventing me from being your proper mother, but... but considering you caused such a huge commotion, this auntie forgives you! Hahaha, what a face-saver! Let's see who dares to call humans trash from now on!"

As she spun, Ice Empress was so excited she became incoherent, her emerald eyes filled with ecstasy and pride, as if she were the one who had awakened a top-tier martial soul.

Xue Bingchen was dizzy from being spun by Ice Empress, but seeing her genuine joy, he couldn't help but giggle.

"Alright, Bing'er, put Chen'er down quickly, don't make him dizzy."

Snow Empress's gentle voice sounded at the right moment.

She walked toward the two with elegant steps, her gaze incredibly soft, even carrying a hint of glistening moisture as she looked at Xue Bingchen.

She extended her jade-like hand, gently taking Xue Bingchen from the Ice Empress's arms and cradling him into her own warm embrace.

"Chen'er, you did it. You did not disappoint Mother; you have awakened the most beautiful Martial Soul in this world."

The Snow Empress lowered her head and pressed a cool kiss onto Xue Bingchen's fair, tender forehead, her tone brimming with pride and joy that she could not conceal.

The Snow Empress interrupted the Ice Empress, who was still dancing about in excitement:

"Bing'er, we can discuss the celebration later; there is one most important thing we have yet to do. We haven't tested Chen'er's Innate Soul Power yet."

"Right, right, right! Test the Soul Power! Test the Soul Power!" The Ice Empress snapped out of her daze and nodded repeatedly.

She reached out a small hand, patted Xue Bingchen's little head in great admiration, and declared with certainty:

"Snow Empress, you can set your heart at ease! You and I both know how monstrous this little monster Chen'er's constitution is, don't we? How many heavenly treasures of our Far North has he consumed over these past three years? Furthermore, not only is he unafraid of the Ultimate Ice, but he actually thrives in the environment of the Far North. The commotion from his Martial Soul awakening just now nearly pierced the heavens; his Innate Soul Power absolutely cannot be low! I dare to bet that it is at least Innate Full Soul Power!"

Hearing the Ice Empress's words, the Snow Empress, whose own thoughts were echoed, could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

She remembered clearly that last year, she had taken Xue Bingchen to human society to observe a Martial Soul awakening ceremony in a remote town.

Those human children of the same age as Xue Bingchen were all sallow and emaciated, awakening nothing but rusted hoes or Blue Silver Grass that would snap with a single tug, and their Innate Soul Power did not even reach half a level.
