What is even more frightening is that these sixteen figures simultaneously emitted majestic and vast Soul Power pressure.
Without exception, they all reached the level of Titled Douluo.
Several of the auras are as obscure and deep as an abyss. Compared with Snow Empress's nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, they are only slightly inferior.
And the aura at the head is even more like Ferocious Beast, majestic, thick, and carrying a soul-trembling sense of oppression, which is on par with the terrifying power exuded by Snow Empress itself...
Snow Empress waved her jade hand lightly, and a soft and cold white light flashed through. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus plant in the center of the cold pool had been carefully put away by her, and put into a jade box condensed by Ultimate Ice for safekeeping.
She couldn't let the next battle affect this sacred plant that was related to her future destiny.
Fighting is inevitable.
From these uninvited guests, she sensed the undisguised, cold-blooded murderous intent.
"The first of Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, Snow Empress, the name I have admired for a long time."
The leader of the man in black robe slowly lifted the hood of the cloak that covered his face, revealing a handsome but aged face.
He looked like a human man in his thirties or forties, with brilliant short golden hair and a pair of strange eyes like molten gold.
He had a seemingly gentle smile on his face and his tone was quite polite, as if he was greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
However, Snow Empress's brows furrowed tightly, and a trace of doubt and deeper vigilance flashed in his ice-blue eyes.
"Human? No..."
Her keen perception told her that although the appearance of these beings in front of her was no different from human beings, they did not have the vigorous vitality that the living should have.
Instead, there was an aura of deathly silence that was so rich that it could not be dissolved and belonged to the dead.
This feeling was strikingly similar to the Soul Beast she had noticed in the Far North zone in recent years, who had been resurrected by unknown powers.
And, for some reason, this middle-aged man with blond hair and golden eyes always gave her a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had seen or heard of him somewhere.
It's just that it's been so long ago that my memory has become blurry and it's hard to recall for a while.
"Who exactly are you?"
Snow Empress asked coldly, the sound was like the collision of ice crystals.
The smile on the blond middle-aged man's face remained unchanged and gentle, "It's not important, is it? Your Excellency Snow Empress."
Snow Empress Hearing this, the chill all over his body became even stronger, and the air at the top of the mountain seemed to be frozen.
"That's right."
She stopped asking questions, as the other party's murderous intention had already explained everything, and there was no point in exploring the root cause.
"Are you here because of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus in my hand?"
She guessed the other party's motives, so she mobilized her troops and sent sixteen strong men comparable to Titled Douluo to sneak into the core of Far North. Apart from these treasures of heaven and earth, she could not think of any other reason.
When the blond middle-aged man heard this, the seemingly gentle smile on his face deepened a bit, but there was no warmth in his golden eyes.
He shook his head slowly and said in a steady voice:
"Snow Empress Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. Originally, our target was you."
His eyes passed over the ice jade box, and his tone contained a hint of surprise.
"As for this Snow Lotus... it's just an unplanned surprise."
Was the target originally her?
Snow Empress's slender eyebrows suddenly tightened, and the coldness in his eyes became even worse.
She has survived for nearly 700,000 years, spending most of her time sleeping or meditating in this eternal Glaciate. Just like the Far North Ice Plains itself, it is eternal, aloof, and almost isolated from the outside world.
Even the so-called "War of the Three Gods" that swept the continent ten thousand years ago and could be vaguely perceived even as far away as Far North could not make her escape Extreme North.
In her long life, human Soul Master? was just a short-lived and insignificant passer-by who occasionally broke into the fringe area. Even in the heyday of the Spirit Hall, known as the continent's number one power ten thousand years ago, no strong person had ever dared to penetrate into this forbidden area of humanity that could even be frozen by sunlight.
She has never had any grudges with the outside world, and she has never taken the initiative to make enemies.
Why do these strange, lifeless, human-like beings regard her as their primary target?
Is it to hunt her and obtain the 700,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone that are enough to make any Soul Master in the world crazy?
This reason seemed sufficient, but her intuition told her that things were by no means that simple.
The blond man's eyes were not greedy, but a belief that she couldn't understand.
Thoughts passed by like lightning.
However, the pride of being Lord of the Far North and the absolute strength brought by 700,000 years of cultivation allowed her to quickly suppress these doubts.
Can't figure it out? Then don't think about it.
"It doesn't matter."
Snow Empress A cold voice sounded, with a kind of indifference that looked down on the world.
"Just a dozen Titled Douluo, just kill them."
The moment the words fell, a chill that was far cooler and purer than before suddenly erupted centered on her delicate body.
It is no longer simple coercion, but absolute control over ice and snow.
The remaining moisture in the air was instantly stripped and solidified, turning into light blue ice crystal dust visible to the naked eye, suspended in the air.
The light seemed to be frozen and distorted, making the view of the entire peak blurry and unreal.
The tens of thousands of years of ice beneath her feet made an overwhelming "crunching" sound, and the cracks centered on her, spreading rapidly around her like a spider web.
If she were to be surrounded by such a lineup in the outside world - a total of sixteen Titled Douluos, most of whom had reached the level of Super Douluo, and even the leader could compete with her - she might temporarily avoid the edge and choose to fight or evacuate.
But here is the core of Far North, the absolute home ground where she was born, grew, and ruled for countless years.
She is Heavenly Snow Woman, a child born in this world of ice and snow.
Here, every snowflake is her eyes and ears, every ray of cold wind is her arm, and the endless ice element energy is available to her.
Here, her strength can be brought into full play 200%.
She has absolute self-confidence. Even if Star Dou Great Forest's Beast God Di Tian dares to step into this place and become her enemy, she is sure to use the power of heaven and earth to completely defeat him and make the boundless snowfield red with the blood of his black dragon.
What's more, this Extreme North is not the only one Ferocious Beast.
"Bing'er..."
"A-Tai..."
"Xiao Bai..."
She silently recited those names in her mind.
Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King are both Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North and her.
There is also Ice Bear King Xiaobai who looks simple and honest but is actually extremely powerful, not even inferior to Titan Snow Demon King. However, he is not known to the outside world because he respects her and does not want to be as famous as her.
Once the battle begins, the Titled Douluo-level aura will burst out without any scruples, which will inevitably alarm them in an instant.
