Appearance

Soul-Beast Form

• Approximately 1.5 metres long, with a jade-green and ice-blue body resembling a gemstone 74.
• A brilliant, light-refracting exoskeleton, with silver-white pincers and mouthparts 74.
• Five jade-green tail segments ending in a hook covered with diamond-like granules 74.
• Yellow eyes 74.

Human Form

• Appears as a girl standing only a little over 1.5 metres tall 76.
• Long emerald-green hair tied into high twin ponytails, amber eyes, and pale skin 76.
• Retains a scorpion tail behind her back; her cold, proud expression contrasts with her outwardly delicate appearance 76.
• Can turn a human hand into a large scorpion pincer during combat 79.

Personality

Ice Empress is proud, sharp-tempered, and quick to threaten intruders. She initially regards Jiang Yue’s proposed bargain with suspicion and insists on retaining control over her own decisions even after accepting his help. Her refusal to let him touch her tail illustrates her firm personal boundaries 74 76 79.

She treats predation and coercion as ordinary parts of soul-beast life. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she threatens the sentient herbs, ridicules their failed ambush, and uses overwhelming force to obtain their treasures. Her willingness to kill other soul beasts does not prevent her from protecting her companions or showing deep concern for Snow Empress 75 78 79.

Her fear of the approaching Heavenly Tribulation makes survival a powerful bargaining incentive, but she remains capable of restraint. She postpones consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to avoid destroying the treasured land with her tribulation, and accepts a delayed rescue plan rather than recklessly attacking Mingde Hall 79 82.

Her pride also extends to her clan’s Ultimate Ice, which she regards as the achievement of abandoning its potent venom. Discovering an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone in Meng Hongchen’s possession provokes both anger over a clansman’s death and contempt for humans attempting to absorb the clan’s bones. Although she recognizes that Meng could not have killed the scorpion herself, she nevertheless restrains and threatens her 93.

Despite her stubbornness, she can acknowledge a serious mistake. After Jiang Yue explains how harming Meng could endanger Snow Empress, Ice Empress admits her impulsiveness and agrees to follow his lead in the human world 93.

Abilities & Skills

Ultimate Ice

• Freezes the poisonous miasma and obstructing vines around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, opening a route through its defensive barrier 76.
• Encases Aromatic Silk Beauty in ice and spreads frost across the well’s vegetation, including fire-attributed plants 78.
• Temporarily suppresses the heat of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Blazing Yang Spring 79.
• Her Ultimate Ice greatly exceeds that of the hundred-thousand-year Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass 79.
• Benefits from the Extreme North’s terrain. Before her breakthrough, she believes she can defeat any level-98 human expert there; this is her own assessment rather than a demonstrated victory 75.
• The cold surrounding her interrogation of Meng Hongchen causes hypothermia in Meng, whose Soul Power is sealed and whose body can no longer withstand such temperatures 93.

Physical Strength and Natural Weapons

• Belongs to a power-type soul-beast species and retains exceptional strength in her small human form 79.
• Uses her tail as a highly penetrating weapon. A single strike destroys the Infernal Delicate Apricot’s elemental double and its flaming blades without requiring a Soul Skill 79.
• Crushes the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass’s elemental double in a transformed pincer 79.

Poison Expertise

• Her clan originally possessed both ice and poison attributes. She abandoned its innate deadly poison to pursue Ultimate Ice but retained expertise in handling toxins 76.
• Traces Sunset Forest’s contamination to its source and estimates that the poisoning has persisted for roughly eight thousand years 76.
• Protects Jiang Yue and Di Qiu’er from miasma by coating their bodies with her Soul Power 76.
• Hopes the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass’s ice poison will restore the clan’s deadly venom while preserving Ultimate Ice; the supplied chapters do not confirm that this occurs 81.
• The Ice Jade Scorpion clan is still described as venomless after abandoning its toxins for Ultimate Ice. Meng Hongchen’s later ice poison comes from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass Soul Bone, not her Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone 169.

Human Transformation and Flight

• Assumes human form to travel through human territory without attracting attention to her soul-beast body 76.
• Can sustain flight without wings and levitate passengers with Soul Power 76.
• Transports Jiang Yue and Di Qiu’er at extreme speed. Her greater cultivation and flight experience allow her to outpace the Scarlet King on the journey to Mingdu 82 89.

Cultivation and Tribulation Resistance

• Possesses a Soul Core that absorbs surrounding Heaven and Earth Vital Energy during her Heavenly Tribulation 84.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass’s medicinal power repairs her body during lightning strikes. Jiang Yue later assesses that its benefits also remove the immediate concern of her future 500,000-year Heavenly Tribulation; this is an assessment of her prospects, not a further breakthrough 84 96.

Danger Detection and Limits

• Instinctively senses mortal danger when considering an attack on Jiang Yue and Di Qiu’er, prompting her to abandon it 74.
• Detects potentially lethal threats within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy 89.
• Cannot reliably locate Tian Meng when he deliberately conceals himself 75.
• Remains far below Di Tian in strength and spatial mastery. She also judges that she would have virtually no chance against the Ten Thousand Demon King outside the Extreme North 83 85.
• Even at 400,000 years, she can be threatened by Mingde Hall’s stockpiled high-grade soul tools, including substantial quantities of level-eight fixed cannon shells 89.
• According to Jiang Yue’s assessment, her concealed presence should be detectable only by the Sun Moon Empire’s two hidden Limit Douluos 93.
• Cannot sense Snow Empress inside the active God-Sealing Platform, whose seal prevents Snow Empress’s aura from escaping 167.

Background / History

Snow Empress’s Disappearance

Before Jiang Yue reaches the Extreme North, Snow Empress examines Ice Empress’s condition and concludes that she cannot help her survive the approaching 400,000-year tribulation. Snow Empress asks her to wait while she pursues another method of extending both their lives 74.

When Snow Empress’s aura disappears, Ice Empress finds no evidence of battle at her last location—only unfamiliar human traces. She orders the region’s soul beasts to search for Snow Empress and drive away human intruders, but struggles to contain their growing unrest while facing her own survival crisis 74 75.

Recruitment by Jiang Yue

Tian Meng draws Ice Empress out by announcing his return. She intends to consume him and use his energy to break through her cultivation limit, but follows his aura to Jiang Yue and Di Qiu’er instead 73 74.

Jiang Yue offers assistance with her tribulation in exchange for using her Ultimate Ice to reach a dangerous location. Di Qiu’er’s revelation as an Emperor Auspicious Beast gives the offer credibility, while Jiang Yue’s knowledge of Snow Empress’s whereabouts supplies a second incentive. Ice Empress agrees when the pair begin leaving rather than continuing to negotiate 74 75.

After arranging matters so her clan can function without her for a decade or two, she transforms into human form and joins their journey. Jiang Yue and Tian Meng privately regard this guardianship as a possible route toward her eventually becoming Jiang Yue’s Soul Ring, but she remains an independent companion throughout the documented events 63 75 76 89 167.

Jiang Yue specifically considers her a candidate for the Unfeeling Sword and initially prefers the possibility of a peaceful Wisdom Soul Ring agreement over fighting someone with whom he has no prior enmity. Her recruitability and his ability to retain influence in their partnership also make her preferable to seeking Di Tian’s direct assistance 75.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Ice Empress’s ice abilities and poison knowledge allow the group to penetrate Sunset Forest’s lethal barrier. Inside the well, she becomes interested in the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass as a means of surviving her tribulation 76 77.

After the plants attack, she freezes Aromatic Silk Beauty, suppresses the other herbs, and guards Jiang Yue and Di Qiu’er while they absorb medicinal treasures. She later destroys the ice and fire herbs’ elemental doubles and forces them to surrender the Mysterious Ice Crystal and Scorch Gel for Jiang Yue’s body tempering 78 79.

She ultimately takes the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass itself, sealing it in a jade box rather than consuming it at the well. Jiang Yue then reveals that Snow Empress is held in the Sun Moon Empire’s capital and persuades her to wait roughly four years for a safer opportunity to infiltrate Mingde Hall 82.

Tribulation in Star Dou Forest

Di Tian permits Ice Empress to undergo her tribulation in the Core Area, but forbids her from approaching the Lake of Life and restricts her hunting. She consumes the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass there, benefiting from abundant vital energy and the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s fortune 83 84.

The herb repairs her body as increasingly powerful lightning strikes descend. During a separate sword demonstration, Di Tian accidentally cleaves apart the remaining storm and final lightning, leaving her alive and stunned by the disparity between his strength and hers. Bi Ji heals her afterward 84 85 86.

Journey to Mingdu

Following her recovery, Ice Empress accepts responsibility for guarding Di Qiu’er, gives Jiang Yue a Soul Bone, and promises to protect him for several years. She accompanies them and the Scarlet King into the Sun Moon Empire to prepare for Snow Empress’s rescue 86 88 89.

In Mingdu, she senses a potentially fatal threat from the academy containing Mingde Hall. Jiang Yue confirms that this dangerous location is their intended target, reinforcing the need for reconnaissance rather than an immediate assault 89.

Attack on Meng Hongchen

After meeting Meng Hongchen, Jiang Yue detects Ultimate Ice in her injured left arm and suspects that she has absorbed the seventy-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone. He calls on Ice Empress to confirm his inference, but receives no response 92.

Ice Empress has left his side to confront Meng. Furious at finding a bone from her own clan in human possession, she restrains Meng and interrogates her about its origin. Meng identifies the Starlight Auction House as its source. Ice Empress’s killing intent and the surrounding cold bring the weakened girl close to collapse; Meng nevertheless warns Jiang Yue to flee when he arrives 93.

Jiang Yue forces Ice Empress to release Meng and explains that attacking Jing Hongchen’s granddaughter could provoke the Hongchen family into destructive retaliation, potentially involving the Snow Empress Embryo. Ice Empress initially protests, but ultimately admits acting impulsively and accepts his guidance in human territory. Jiang Yue takes Meng to the infirmary, where Jing confirms that she is suffering from hypothermia rather than new life-threatening damage to her Soul Bone 93.

Jiang Yue and Tian Meng’s Contingency Plans

The incident leads Jiang Yue to reassess the reliability of his alliance with Ice Empress. He tests Tian Meng’s loyalties, and Tian Meng states that Jiang Yue and their God-Making Plan take precedence over his love for her; he would kill her if she endangered them 95.

Jiang Yue identifies a fundamental conflict between their goals: Ice Empress wants to return Snow Empress to the Extreme North, whereas he wants Snow Empress’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone. He believes Snow Empress’s interrupted transformation cannot be restored without god-level power and expects Ice Empress to become hostile when this conflict emerges. Tian Meng says he can kill her, but warns that doing so safely and discreetly in Mingdu is not feasible because of the city’s powerful soul weapons 96.

They therefore prepare for both negotiation and violence rather than relying on the anticipated Body Sect attack. Jiang Yue also considers having Ice Empress take the blame for provoking the Evil Eyes to facilitate obtaining a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, but the supplied context does not show this proposal being carried out 96.

Jiang Yue continues to regard dealing with Ice Empress as necessary before securing Snow Empress’s cooperation. He worries that she could leave with Snow Empress or contribute to a confrontation in which Snow Empress resorts to self-destruction. He still considers a voluntary Wisdom Soul Ring agreement desirable, while retaining forced absorption as a contingency 123 131.

Concealed Acquisition of the Snow Empress Embryo

Jing Hongchen eventually entrusts the Snow Empress Embryo to Jiang Yue. Ice Empress remains concealed nearby, but the active God-Sealing Platform prevents her from detecting that Snow Empress is already in Jiang Yue’s possession 167.

Jiang Yue intends Snow Empress to become the Unfeeling Sword’s seventh Soul Ring and Martial Soul Avatar. Tian Meng proposes acquiring Ice Empress’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone as well, by force if necessary. Jiang Yue promises to seek a gentler solution out of consideration for Tian Meng’s feelings, while Tian Meng privately resolves to kill her himself if required to protect Jiang Yue and their pursuit of immortality. No conversion of Ice Empress into a Soul Ring or Soul Spirit is confirmed in the supplied context 167.

Items

• Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass — Taken from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, temporarily stored in a jade box, and consumed to raise her cultivation to the tribulation threshold 82 84.
• Scorch Gel and Mysterious Ice Crystal — Seized from the two opposing Immortal Herbs and handed to Jiang Yue for Ice-Fire Body Tempering 79.
• Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass Leg Soul Bone — Dropped when the herb dies and given to Jiang Yue because Ice Empress has no use for it. Its exact side is not specified. Later identified as a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone with powerful attribute-enhancement effects; Jiang Yue gives it to Meng Hongchen to produce Ultimate Ice and resolve the backlash from her Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone 88 96 168 169.

Relationships

• Snow Empress — Fellow ruler of the Extreme North and a central concern of her alliance with Jiang Yue. Ice Empress searches for her after her disappearance and promises Jiang Yue the Extreme North’s favor if he helps rescue her 74 75 82. Her goal of taking Snow Empress home conflicts with Jiang Yue’s plan to obtain Snow Empress’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone. She is unaware when he obtains the embryo because the God-Sealing Platform conceals its aura 96 167.
• Jiang Yue — Bargaining partner and protected companion. He helps her obtain the resources needed for her tribulation; she supplies transport, protection, and assistance with his cultivation plans while insisting on her independence 75 79 82 88. After her attack on Meng, she accepts his leadership in the human world. He nevertheless regards their alliance as fragile and prepares to negotiate with or kill her if her loyalty to Snow Empress threatens his plans; he later promises Tian Meng to seek a gentler solution 93 96 167.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm / Tian Meng — Long-standing pursuer whom she regards as prey rather than a reciprocated romantic partner. He hopes to ascend to the God Realm with her, while she wants to consume his energy 8 74 75. His affection remains subordinate to Jiang Yue’s safety and their pursuit of godhood. He explicitly accepts killing her if necessary and later privately resolves to carry it out himself should she obstruct their plans 95 96 167.
• Di Qiu’er — Emperor Auspicious Beast whose Power of Destiny earns her immediate respect. Their relationship becomes more familiar during their travels, and Ice Empress later agrees to guard her 74 76 86.
• Di Tian — Host and overwhelming superior in Star Dou Forest. He permits her tribulation and inadvertently ends its final stage; his power leaves her deeply wary of him 83 85 86.
• Bi Ji — Heals her completely after the tribulation and entrusts her with Di Qiu’er’s protection 86.
• Ten Thousand Demon King — Initially blocks her access to the Lake of Life and enforces Di Tian’s restrictions. Their exchanges are tense 83 84.
• Scarlet King — Fellow guardian on the journey to Mingdu, though unable to match her flying speed 88 89.
• Meng Hongchen — Target of her anger after absorbing an Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone bought at auction. Ice Empress knows Meng could not have killed the scorpion herself, but threatens and interrogates her until Jiang Yue intervenes. The encounter leaves Meng suffering from hypothermia 93. The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass Soul Bone that Ice Empress previously gave Jiang Yue later becomes the means of restoring Meng’s compatibility with the scorpion bone 88 168 169.
• Jing Hongchen — Snow Empress’s custodian and Meng’s protective grandfather. Jiang Yue invokes the danger of Jing’s retaliation to persuade Ice Empress to release Meng. Jing later transfers the sealed Snow Empress Embryo to Jiang Yue without Ice Empress detecting it 93 167.
