Background / History
Sovereign of the Extreme North
Ice Empress has lived for nearly 400,000 years and witnessed the rise and fall of the soul beast clan. Despite her authority, she carries a persistent fear of her next Heavenly Tribulation. The God Realm remains an unreachable legend to her until Li Changsheng offers a path toward it 72 80.
She rules the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan from an emerald-colored Ice Palace within a towering ice mountain. Although she commands considerable authority, decisions affecting the entire Extreme North ultimately belong to Snow Empress 70 73 77.
Negotiations with Li Changsheng
The Titan Snow Demon King brings Li Changsheng and Feng Ling to the Ice Palace after fighting Feng Ling. Ice Empress silences its complaints, examines the visitors with her spiritual power, and initially rejects cooperation because humans and soul beasts are natural enemies. Her hostility gives way to urgency when Li Changsheng mentions her approaching tribulation 70 71.
A demonstration of higher-level life power persuades her to admit the visitors for negotiations. Li Changsheng then offers access to the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave. Recognizing that the treasure could affect the whole region, Ice Empress fetches Snow Empress rather than deciding alone 72 73 74.
The two empresses challenge his claims and release their power against the visitors. Li Changsheng answers by revealing his divine background and displaying the Destruction Scepter. He proposes ten to twenty years of cooperation in exchange for tribulation assistance and eventual entry into the God Realm without sacrifice. Ice Empress favors the offer, while Snow Empress grants conditional acceptance 75 76 77.
Ice Marrow and Heavenly Tribulation
Li Changsheng leads the group to Dragon City, where the cave lies beneath a cold pool inside the Earth Dragon Sect. Ice Empress and Snow Empress verify its immense ice-origin energy and descend together. Although the discovery proves his knowledge, Ice Empress still struggles to believe that a god’s descendant has actually appeared before them 78 79.
After absorbing the ice marrow, the empresses immediately attract Heavenly Tribulation. Ice Empress insists they cannot undergo it above Dragon City, and both return to the Extreme North. Initially frightened by Li Changsheng’s absence, she steadies herself after Snow Empress urges her to rely on her own strength 80 81 82.
Their resistance eventually fails against the final World-Destroying Lightning. Li Changsheng intervenes with the Destruction Scepter and Life Ancient Tree, with the tree shielding Ice Empress directly. After surviving, she acknowledges his rescue and asks when he will take them to the God Realm; he leaves the timing unresolved. The empresses then return to their palaces to recover and reorganize the Extreme North’s forces 83.
Appearance
Ice Empress appears as a tall, slender woman with graceful curves, flawless features, and an aloof, noble bearing 71.
- Hair: Emerald-green, reaching her waist, with fine ice crystals glimmering among the strands 71.
- Eyes: Emerald-green, resembling pure jade and carrying a chilling light 71.
- Clothing: A long emerald-green dress 71.
- Manifested aura: Jade-green radiance and an enormous Ice Jade Empress Scorpion phantom 75 80.
Personality
Ice Empress is proud, territorial, and distrustful of humans. She threatens intruders but also evaluates their motives rather than accepting the Titan Snow Demon King’s accusations unquestioningly. Even when offered salvation from tribulation, she demands evidence and warns against deception 71 72.
Her composure can break into anger when Li Changsheng teases her, excitement at the prospect of rare ice treasures, or panic under overwhelming tribulation pressure. Nevertheless, she restrains herself to continue negotiations and follows Snow Empress’s guidance when fear threatens her resolve 73 77 82.
She yearns for eternal life but remains cautious about promises she cannot yet verify. After her rescue, she openly questions whether their changed fate is truly beneficial 79 80 83.

- Uses its enormous pincers to shatter descending tribulation lightning 83.
- The phantom becomes clearer and nearly solid as her origin strengthens 80 83.
- Prolonged resistance rapidly drains her Soul Power and weakens her life force; she cannot withstand the final tribulation strike unaided 83.

Relationships
- Snow Empress — Fellow sovereign and trusted senior, addressed as “Big Sister” or “Sister.” Ice Empress defers to her regional authority and draws courage from her guidance during tribulation 73 77 80 82.
- Li Changsheng — Initially a distrusted human negotiator; later her rescuer and ally. She accepts cooperation with him but remains frustrated by his habit of withholding answers 71 77 83.
- Titan Snow Demon King — Fellow Heavenly King whom she can silence with a command. It brings the human visitors to her palace 70 71 72.
- Feng Ling — Li Changsheng’s escort and a potential combat opponent during negotiations. Later helps guard the entrance while the empresses absorb ice marrow 72 78.
- Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Seek to obtain Ice Empress’s power. They approach the Extreme North unaware that she and Snow Empress have survived and allied with Li Changsheng 83.
Story Role
- Alliance objective: Li Changsheng identifies Ice Empress’s approaching tribulation as leverage for recruiting the Extreme North into his continental unification plans 40.
- Divergence from the original trajectory: Li Changsheng’s reflections describe her original sacrifice of her soul ring, soul bone, and other foundations to empower Huo Yuhao. In the depicted events, she instead survives through his intervention and retains her independent existence 40 49 83.
- Unfulfilled divine promise: Entry into the God Realm remains a future possibility, not an accomplished ascension 83.
