But this was the Far North's core region, and Kong Deming had actually managed to establish a complete temporary base in such a short time.
If this human Soul Engineer had prepared in advance, then even if he could not defeat her, he would still pose no small threat.
"I'll handle the outside."
Kong Deming walked to the entrance of the ice cave and pressed his right hand against a silver control console.
"Unless this old man dies, no outside life-form will enter this place."
Snow Maiden also unleashed her Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul. Extreme cold spread outward, and the wind and snow around the ice cave began to change direction.
Great sheets of icy mist rolled along the ground, swiftly concealing the entire area.
Her understanding of the Far North far surpassed Kong Deming's.
Her aura alone was enough to make the vast majority of soul beasts keep their distance.
Once the preparations were complete, Xu Tianyao and Ice Empress entered the ice cave once more.
This time, they went straight to the deepest part. Electrolux's figure emerged from Xu Tianyao's brow and landed in the center of the ice cave.
