Background / History
Snow Empress is the Ice-Snow Maiden, a unique humanoid soul beast born from the Far North's ice essence. As its ruler and the foremost of its Three Heavenly Kings, she reached nearly seven hundred thousand years of cultivation. She had known Ice Empress for tens of thousands of years and raised Little White, the Ice Bear King, from shortly after she became an emperor. 35 42 43
During her seventh great tribulation, Snow Empress endured six heavenly lightning strikes but was left near death. Unable to withstand the final bolt, she attempted to rebuild herself as a human using a hundred-thousand-year snow lotus. A human soul engineer squad ambushed her during the transformation, intending to seal her in a Sealing God Platform; rather than be captured for her soul ring and soul bone, she prepared to self-destruct. 36
Ice Empress distracted the attackers while Yao Shi reached Snow Empress, healed her damaged body and soul, and brought her into the Glazed Abundance Pure Land. After recovering, Snow Empress thanked Yao Shi and reconsidered her belief that all humans were cruel. 37 40
Snow Empress chose to challenge the tribulation again under the Pure Land's protection. Yao Shi evaded the first four strikes, while Snow Empress shielded him from the fifth. Yao Shi later created the Thunder Spirit from tribulation lightning; the spirit absorbed the remaining lightning and enabled Snow Empress to reach the seven-hundred-thousand-year level. 41 42
Following her breakthrough, Snow Empress arranged the Far North before choosing to accompany Yao Shi and Ice Empress into the human world. She brought Little White with her, believing he would struggle to pass his own bottleneck without her protection. 43
After Yao Shi was attacked by a God King, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Little White, Han Xiao, and Little Spirit remained within the Glazed Abundance Pure Land for a year, initially unaware of the changes taking place outside. The Pure Land's endless energy and isolation from the Douluo Plane's laws enabled Snow Empress and Ice Empress to reach the God Level, while Little White advanced to four hundred thousand years of cultivation. 91 92
Snow Empress initially wished to avenge Yao Shi after his return as an avatar, but learned that she and Ice Empress could not defeat the God King responsible. As a God-Level soul beast, she also cannot freely emerge from the Pure Land: the Douluo Plane rejects her existence and would subject her to heavenly lightning. 92
Personality
Snow Empress is proud, resolute, and fiercely unwilling to submit. Even while her body was collapsing and a superior human force surrounded her, she chose self-destruction over allowing herself to be captured and exploited. 36
Her distrust of humans is rooted in prejudice and experience, but Yao Shi's willingness to risk his life for her causes her to reassess that view. She is sincere in gratitude, affectionate toward Ice Empress, and protective of Little White, whom she treats as a son. 40 43
Despite her aloof bearing, she can be playful. After Yao Shi's breakthrough left his clothes destroyed, she teased him for being so beautiful that she had mistaken him for a girl. 41
She is deeply loyal to Yao Shi and Ice Empress. Upon learning that a God King had killed Yao Shi, she wished to seek revenge alongside Ice Empress, though she accepted Yao Shi's warning that their newly attained God-Level strength was still insufficient. 92
Abilities & Skills
Ice-Snow Maiden Physiology
Snow Empress possesses immense ice-and-snow power as a seven-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast who later reached the God Level. 42 92
- Her aura after the successful breakthrough radiates cold intense enough to seem capable of freezing time. 42
- Her body can endure multiple heavenly tribulation strikes, though the sixth strike of her first attempt left her critically wounded. 36
- She can form layered soul-power shields to reduce incoming damage, as when she protected Yao Shi from the fifth tribulation strike. 41
Snow Empress's Three Absolutes
Snow Empress possesses exclusive ice techniques which Yao Shi can temporarily borrow while she is inside the Glazed Abundance Pure Land.
- Emperor Sword: Peerless Ice Edge — A devastating ice attack capable of cutting through a high-level energy barrier and leaving behind a spatial rift. 37 38 39
- Emperor's Palm: Great Cold, No Snow — An ultimate-ice palm technique which Yao Shi used through her borrowed power to freeze a five-ring Soul King in a single strike. 67
- Snow Dance Shining Sun — A domain-type ice skill that freezes the surrounding area and suppresses multiple opponents simultaneously. 68
- Yao Shi's use of her powers briefly gave him combat strength above that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, though the sudden power surge nearly caused his body to burst apart. 38 39
- Even after Yao Shi became an Ambrosial Arbor avatar without his own soul rings, he could still use Snow Empress's abilities and manifest nine simulated soul rings derived from her power. 93 102
Tribulation Reformation
When she could no longer withstand her seventh tribulation, Snow Empress attempted to abandon her soul beast body and rebuild herself as a human.
- She used a hundred-thousand-year snow lotus to draw upon heaven-and-earth power. 36
- The process sealed her origin power and left her unable to resist the human ambush. 36
- She halted the transformation and ignited her origin of ultimate snow when she decided to self-destruct instead. 36
God-Level Cultivation and Plane Restriction
Snow Empress reached Level 100 by cultivating within the Glazed Abundance Pure Land, where the Douluo Plane's restrictions on soul beasts could not reach her. 92
- She and Ice Empress are considered divine beasts after attaining the God Level. 92
- The Douluo Plane does not tolerate a God-Level soul beast's presence outside the Pure Land, causing heavenly lightning to strike such a being even if they attempt to suppress their cultivation. 92
- Ice Empress's attempt to follow Yao Shi outside resulted in an immediate lightning strike, confirming the restriction that also binds Snow Empress. 92
Equipment / Items
- Hundred-thousand-year snow lotus — Used during her attempted human reformation amid the first tribulation. 36
Relationships
- Ice Empress — Longtime friend and fellow Far North Heavenly King. Ice Empress risks her life to defend Snow Empress during the ambush, and Snow Empress later joins her journey with Yao Shi. Both later attain the God Level within the Pure Land and support each other through their inability to leave it freely. 37 40 42 43 92
- Yao Shi — Rescuer and traveling companion. He healed her, sheltered her in the Glazed Abundance Pure Land, and enabled her to pass the seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation; Snow Empress becomes deeply grateful and more open-minded toward humans because of him. After his apparent death and return as an avatar, she wishes to protect and avenge him. 37 40 42 43 92
- Little White — The Ice Bear King whom Snow Empress raised from childhood; he has been by her side for over two hundred thousand years and regards her as his mother. He later reaches four hundred thousand years of cultivation while residing in the Pure Land. 43 92
- Thunder Spirit — A living spirit created by Yao Shi from tribulation lightning. It resembles Snow Empress by roughly eighty percent and absorbed the lightning that allowed her breakthrough. 42
