Ice Empress Appears, Ling Han Is Done For (Please Follow... Monthly Tickets... Recommendation Tickets... Bookmarks)

Ding! A powerful Ice Element lifeform is approaching at high speed! Extreme danger! Warning! Extreme danger!

The system's alarm suddenly exploded in Ling Han's mind, shrill and piercing!

At the same time, a terrifying aura a hundred times stronger than the Ice Crystal Armored Crocodile swept in from the horizon like a storm! It was bone-chilling to the depths of the soul, carrying supreme majesty and extreme fury! The temperature across the entire ice plain plummeted, and even the air seemed to freeze solid!

Xue Qinglan's expression changed drastically. She stepped forward and firmly shielded Ling Han behind her. The powerful aura of a level 96 Super Douluo erupted without reserve—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

Nine Soul Rings rose at once like nine dazzling stars. That blood-red 100,000-year Soul Ring in particular radiated a ferocious might that made hearts tremble, forcefully opening up a safe zone beneath the enemy's terrifying pressure!

"Who goes there?!" Xue Qinglan's voice was as cold as ten-thousand-year ice. Frost surged around her as the phantom of an Ice Phoenix solidified behind her, releasing a clear yet hostile cry as she stood ready for battle.

Ling Han could barely breathe beneath the sudden pressure that nearly froze his soul. Had Xue Qinglan not shielded him in time, he would likely have frozen stiff in an instant. He looked up in horror.

In the distant sky, a streak of emerald light tore through the air at an unimaginable speed! It contained both ultimate cold and vitality, contradictory yet immensely powerful!

The streak arrived in an instant and hovered in midair not far before them. As the light faded, it revealed the newcomer's true form.

She was a... breathtaking existence.

Her waist-length hair was crystalline and translucent, like the finest jade, fluttering slightly in the cold wind.

Her skin was so fair it was almost transparent, as if sculpted from ice and snow, delicate enough to break at a touch. Her features were so beautiful they seemed beyond the mortal world, carrying an aloof chill and majesty.

Most striking were her eyes—like two pure emeralds, deep and cold, filled with endless frost and fury. At this moment, they stared directly at Ling Han with scrutiny and killing intent!

She wore a magnificent long dress formed from emerald ice crystals, outlining her breathtaking figure. Behind her, a scorpion tail covered in jade-like scales swayed with elegant danger, its hook glinting with chilling light.

Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion! The Ice Empress!

Ling Han's mind went blank. His eyes bulged, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg, while ten thousand icefield mammoths seemed to stampede through his heart and stir up monstrous waves:

"I... holy shit?! The Ice Empress?! What kind of international joke is this?!"

"Wasn't she supposed to be drawn out by Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later in the original story?! Tang San hasn't even awakened his Spirit yet! The timeline's broken, damn it!!"

"System! You screwed me over! Is this the kind of BOSS that should spawn in a Novice Village?! Can Sister Xue even hold her off?!"

The immense shock and urge to rant nearly drowned out Ling Han's fear. Looking at one of the Extreme North's Three Heavenly Kings, who should not have appeared until ten thousand years later, and feeling her undisguised killing intent and terrifying aura capable of freezing space itself, he felt deep resentment toward the fact that he had "arrived too early" for the first time.

The Ice Empress's bone-chilling voice was like the fiercest storm of the Great North, instantly freezing the air.

Her slender jade finger pointed at Ling Han as though it held the authority to judge life and death. Overwhelming killing intent mixed with the supreme majesty of the Extreme North's ruler, crashing down like a landslide and tsunami!

"Human! You dare slaughter my people and steal its power within my territory?!"

"Today, you... will all remain here!"

Before her words had faded, emerald light erupted around the Ice Empress!

Eternal Frost Domain—Activate!

Heaven and earth changed color!

The originally gray sky was instantly dyed an eerie, profound emerald green, like a frozen jade firmament.

A terrifying wave of ultra-low-temperature frost surged outward from the Ice Empress like a world-ending tsunami!

The ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice beneath their feet groaned under the strain, instantly becoming coated in an even harder, denser layer of emerald ice crystals that spread and thickened wildly in every direction.

The air was no longer gaseous. It solidified into visible crystalline matter drifting with lethal ice dust! Within this domain, the Ice Empress was the absolute ruler; the freezing of all things rested upon a single thought from her!

The boundless cold was not merely physical low temperature. It carried a terrifying will to freeze souls and extinguish life, like billions of ice needles stabbing madly at the two people trapped within the domain!

"Young Master Han, fall back!" Xue Qinglan shouted. Faced with the terrifying pressure of a domain far surpassing that of an ordinary three-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, she dared not hold anything back! The blood-red 100,000-year Soul Ring behind her burst with blinding light like a burning crimson sun!

Ninth Soul Skill—Ice Phoenix Absolute Domain!

Accompanied by a phoenix cry that split metal and stone, carrying ancient majesty, the enormous Ice Crystal Phoenix phantom behind Xue Qinglan instantly solidified!

Its wings snapped open, and countless sharp ice-crystal feathers condensed from Extreme Ice shot out like a storm. They spun at high speed around her and Ling Han, forming a huge absolute defensive domain made of innumerable crystal feathers!

Rumble—!

The emerald Eternal Frost Domain collided head-on with Xue Qinglan's Ice Phoenix Absolute Domain!

The ear-piercing sounds of ice crystals grinding, shattering, and freezing continued without end! Emerald and icy blue, two extremes of cold, clashed, eroded, and annihilated each other madly!

Although Xue Qinglan's Ice Phoenix Absolute Domain temporarily blocked the Eternal Frost Domain's erosion, its range was being compressed at a visible rate! The emerald chill was like a living venomous snake, seeking every crack in the Ice Phoenix Absolute Domain!

Xue Qinglan groaned, and all color instantly drained from her beautiful face. A streak of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her lips, immediately freezing into a bead of blood in the extreme cold. The ice beneath her feet cracked inch by inch! (Just to add, they could have reached the Great North quickly, but the protagonist was asleep, so they took a huge detour, and much of her Soul Power had been consumed.)

A level 96 Super Douluo still seemed powerless before the home-field domain of the three-hundred-thousand-year Extreme North Heavenly King! She exerted all her strength to maintain the domain, her Soul Power pouring out like a burst dam.

"Sister Xue!" Ling Han's eyes nearly split apart. Even weakened by the Ice Phoenix Absolute Domain, that terrifying pressure still made him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cave. His body was stiff, and even breathing brought tearing pain.

The Ice Hell Dragon Emperor Spirit within him roared madly, instinctively resisting the suppression from this being with far greater Soul Power, but the difference between them was simply too vast!

"Hmph! A mere human dares claim mastery over ice in the Extreme North?!" A trace of disdain flashed through the Ice Empress's cold green eyes. She did not even move, merely raising her other hand elegantly.

Extreme Ice Thorn!

At her icy command, countless enormous Ice Cones condensed from Extreme Ice appeared out of thin air within the Eternal Frost Domain, each glimmering with eerie emerald light!

Every Ice Cone carried the terrifying aura of piercing mountains and freezing souls. Like a dense rain of arrows, they tore through the frozen air with shrill whistles and shot toward the struggling Ice Phoenix Absolute Domain!

Clang clang clang clang—!!!

The dense impacts sounded like torrential rain striking plantain leaves! The barrier formed by ice-crystal feathers shook violently as feather after feather was shattered and annihilated by the terrifying Ice Cones!

Xue Qinglan's delicate body trembled violently. Her Soul Power was draining faster, the light of the Ice Phoenix Absolute Domain rapidly dimming as its range was compressed once more. It was on the verge of being completely pierced!

At that critical moment, inspiration flashed through Ling Han's mind!

The Summoning Card! Right! That level 80–99 Summoning Card! System, save me!

His almost-roaring thought exploded in his mind: "System! Use the Summoning Card! Immediately! Right now! Random summon!!"

Ding! The host has used 'Summoning Card (Soul Power Level 50–99)'! Beginning random summoning...

Ding! Summoning successful! Target: Long Chen! Soul Power Level: 97! Spirit: Blazing Sacred Dragon!
