Background / History
Snow Empress is a Heavenly Snow Woman born of heaven and earth, ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. Before becoming Lu Yuan's Martial Soul, she had failed to condense her second Soul Core, leaving her future cultivation uncertain. 54 102 136
Snow Empress was sealed within the Sealing God Platform and sold at auction. Her sealed embryo was presented as the auction's final item, supposedly capable of granting its absorber a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and even a second Martial Soul. Lu Yuan outbid Xiao Hongchen with 180 million Gold Soul Coins, then brought the platform into his Void Realm to decide her fate. Upon release, she immediately denounced the humans around her and resisted with all her strength, only to be restrained by a Sky Dream Ice Silkworm molt. 52 53
Lu Yuan initially offered her survival through fusion as his Second Martial Soul, claiming she could preserve her consciousness, ascend with him, and eventually regain freedom. Snow Empress remained distrustful until Electrolux—whose aura she judged close to a god's—confirmed that his magic could protect her soul. Lu Yuan then coerced her by threatening the Soul Beasts of the Extreme North, particularly Ice Empress and Xiao Bai. To secure her survival and protect her people, Snow Empress accepted after demanding an oath that he would preserve her soul and help her become a god. 54
The unprecedented fusion succeeded, but Electrolux's experimental magic caused Snow Empress to awaken as a tiny, memoryless Snow Maiden capable only of saying “Yaya~.” Her memories returned the following morning, along with the humiliation of realizing that her child form had slept beside Lu Yuan. Though she initially reacted with fury, Lu Yuan's promise that they would become each other's dependable partners gradually softened her resistance. 55 57
After returning to the Extreme North, Snow Empress reunited with Ice Empress, distributed Ten-Thousand-Year-Profound Ice Marrow among the region's defenders, and prepared Xiao Bai and Ah Tai to protect the territory during her absence. She openly stated that she would gamble on becoming a god alongside Lu Yuan. 94 97 98
She later formally assigned the Extreme North's joint administration to the Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King before leaving with Ice Empress for Star Dou Forest. There, she absorbed Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's Soul Ring and helped Lu Yuan successfully condense his first Ice-Attribute Black-Hole Soul Core. 101 102
After Ice Empress completed her extended cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and mastered Ice Explosion, Snow Empress accepted her voluntary sacrifice. The ritual added two Soul Rings to Snow Empress and preserved Ice Empress as a miniature, apparently memoryless Ice Jade Scorpion. Snow Empress took responsibility for caring for her and subsequently began further cultivation with God-Bestowed Soul Rings. 154 155 156 158
Appearance
In her restored adult form, Snow Empress is an otherworldly woman with frost-silver hair, clear sky-blue eyes, and an ice-white gown. Her presence carries a dignified, oppressive cold befitting the former ruler of the Extreme North. 53 57
- Her adult form has long hair that reaches her feet and an unadorned white gown. 53
- Her childlike Martial Soul form resembles a porcelain doll or tiny Snow Maiden in an ice-blue or white dress. 55 87
- She can return to her small “Little Snow Girl” form at will, despite having regained her memories. 57
- Her aura remains recognizable to Di Tian even after her transformation into a diminutive Martial Soul. 87
- She also manifests a youthful maiden or teenage form, smaller than her adult appearance and possessing a more playful, sweet quality. She uses this form during Ice Empress's sacrifice ritual. 136 154
- After Ice Empress's sacrifice, she carries the palm-sized Little Ice Jade Scorpion in her hands, on her shoulder, or on her lap. 155 156 158
Personality
Snow Empress is proud, dignified, and deeply hostile toward humans at first. Being sealed, restrained, and pressured into fusion is a severe blow to her identity as the ruler of the Extreme North, and she remains sensitive about being reduced to an adorable childlike form. 53 54 57 87
Her defining priority is the safety of the Extreme North. She accepts Lu Yuan's contract largely because of his threat against her people, later organizes the region's succession, distributes rare resources to its strongest defenders, and entrusts Xiao Bai with protecting the land in her absence. 54 97 98 101
Despite her pride, she develops a warmer and more playful side around those she trusts. She comforts Ice Empress, worries over Lu Yuan's reckless cultivation, scolds him like an irresponsible child, and is easily flustered when others witness her affectionate child form. 95 102 87
Her increasing emotional expressiveness surprises her. After chasing Lu Yuan and Ice Empress with an ice sword, she lowers the weapon without striking them and privately wonders whether Lu Yuan has changed her formerly composed temperament. She finds it ironic that he seems to have influenced his Martial Soul's personality rather than the reverse. 136 137
She remains protective of Ice Empress's freedom, repeatedly checking whether her decision to sacrifice herself is genuine. Nevertheless, she displays a mischievous streak by privately asking Electrolux to reproduce the magical mishap that once turned her into a child. When Ice Empress emerges as a tiny, trusting scorpion, Snow Empress becomes openly tender and maternal, finding the quieter form endearing rather than irritating. 154 155 156
Her faith in Lu Yuan's prospects steadily strengthens. By the time they begin using God-Bestowed Soul Rings, she trusts his ambitious cultivation plans and is confident that she will eventually become a god. 102 156
Abilities & Skills
Autonomous Martial Soul Manifestation
Snow Empress exists as Lu Yuan's Second Martial Soul without losing her intelligence or individuality. Electrolux's fusion magic grants her exceptional independence compared with an ordinary Martial Soul. 55 56
- Can physically manifest, move freely, interact with others, and experience the outside world. 55
- Can fight separately from Lu Yuan and be treated as his partner rather than a mere summoned ability. 56 64
- Can shift between her mature maiden form and small Snow Girl form. 56 57 98
- Cannot remain far from Lu Yuan for extended periods because she is bound to him as a Martial Soul. 103
- Can communicate with Lu Yuan within his Mental Sea and observe conversations while remaining inside him. 101 136 152
- States that, as an intelligent Martial Soul, she can refuse an incoming Soul Ring and expel it rather than accept whichever ring Lu Yuan chooses. 136
- Her decision to manifest remains her own: she refuses to emerge during one visit to Ice Empress because she does not want to endure repeated hugs. 152
Ice Authority and Soul Rings
Snow Empress initially possesses four orange-gold Soul Rings formed from her seven-hundred-thousand-year origin power. Her released frost can blanket an arena, suppress fire-based opponents, and reveal her presence across the Extreme North. She later adds Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's Hundred-Thousand-Year ring and two orange-gold rings from Ice Empress's sacrifice. 55 64 93 101 155
- Creates freezing blizzards during the fusion of her origin power. 54
- Her aura can be used to signal or locate Ice Empress across the Extreme North. 93
- Her frost rapidly covers the tournament arena and weakens Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flames. 64
- Can condense an ice-cold longsword and launch sword energy capable of shattering attacks from two Soul Emperors. 64
- Possesses Ultimate Ice and is acknowledged by the Extreme North's ice-attributed Soul Beasts as the pinnacle of their attribute, with offensive power surpassing Ice Empress's before the latter learns Ice Explosion. 154
- Her Emperor's Sword is specifically named by Ice Empress as the technique she wishes to challenge with her newly mastered Ice Explosion. 154
Great Cold Without Snow
“Great Cold Without Snow.” 73
Her signature ice technique releases catastrophic cold through a seemingly casual strike.
- Activates her first orange-gold Soul Ring to unleash the technique against Shrek's killing assault in the team battle, overwhelming the surrounding flames with biting cold. 66
- Completely freezes and shatters Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Golden Road, causing both severe backlash. 73
- Freezes part of Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul Avatar, forcing the Super Douluo to divide his attention. 79
Ice Explosion
Snow Empress gains Ice Explosion as a Soul Ring skill through Ice Empress's sacrifice, preserving the technique Ice Empress had reconstructed from an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. 151 154 155
- The technique freezes a target with Ultimate Ice, then detonates the ice crystals within it to destroy it from the inside. 153
- A target's own Soul Power contributes to the explosive charge, making the resulting explosion stronger against opponents with more abundant Soul Power. 153
- Ice particles can also be planted in the air or ground and detonated together to produce widespread shock waves and cutting ice fragments. 153
- Its acquisition is part of Lu Yuan's effort to increase the Snow Empress Martial Soul's offensive power. 155
Martial Soul Avatar
The second of the two orange-gold Soul Rings formed from Ice Empress's sacrifice grants Martial Soul Avatar. Its specific manifested form and combat effects are not yet demonstrated in the available account. 155
Combat Experience and Mobility
Although she lost much of her former cultivation through fusion, Snow Empress retained the combat instincts accumulated across hundreds of thousands of years. 65
- Moves through seven opponents' attacks with unpredictable, high-speed footwork. 65
- Exploits openings to wound Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, and other Shrek members while remaining unharmed. 65
- Continues evading Shrek even after Huo Yuhao provides the team with Spiritual Detection Sharing and predicted movement routes. 65
- Uses her tiny size and speed to harass opponents too large to strike her effectively, including Xuan Zi's Martial Soul Avatar. 79
Cultivation Guidance and Soul Power Support
Snow Empress is Lu Yuan's primary guide for ice-attributed cultivation. Her understanding of ice is considered unmatched by Di Tian, and her support is crucial to Lu Yuan's early Soul Core formation. 102
- Corrects Lu Yuan's dangerous attempt to form a Soul Power Vortex inside his Mental Sea. 102
- Guides the creation and compression of Lu Yuan's Ice-Attribute Black-Hole Soul Core. 102
- Transfers Soul Power to stabilize Lu Yuan when the new Soul Core freezes his body. 102
- Absorbs Profound Ice Marrow to strengthen her origin and act as a continuing Soul Power reserve for Lu Yuan. 98
- Uses spiritual power to locate the concealed entrance to the Profound Ice Marrow cave beneath Earth Dragon Gate. 96
- Warns Lu Yuan about the danger of condensing a second, fire-attributed Soul Core and remains nearby as he establishes his yin-yang complementary dual-core cycle. 156
- Begins absorbing God-Bestowed Soul Rings with Lu Yuan's encouragement to seek sword-type skills, though the resulting abilities are not yet specified. 156 158
Story Role
Continental Tournament
Snow Empress becomes Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's concealed advantage in the final against Shrek Academy. Her existence as a humanoid, independent Martial Soul initially causes the arena to question whether Lu Yuan is violating tournament rules; the Heavenly Fiend Douluo permits her participation after Lu Yuan identifies her as his Martial Soul. 64
In the team battle, she defeats Shrek's opening assault with two sword strikes, then dismantles its seven-person formation through superior speed, precision, and experience. Even Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing cannot give Shrek the ability to catch her. 64 65
She later destroys the Golden Road in the two-versus-two round and aids Lu Yuan against Xuan Zi by freezing the Super Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar at a decisive moment. 73 79
Return to the Extreme North
Lu Yuan brings Snow Empress and Bi Ji to the Extreme North to find Ice Empress. Snow Empress's aura confirms Ice Empress's location and enables their reunion, after which she defends her bond with Lu Yuan as her own choice rather than helpless submission. 93 94
She helps uncover more than forty pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year-Profound Ice Marrow beneath Earth Dragon Gate, then personally distributes the resources to Ice Empress, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, Ah Tai, and Xiao Bai according to the Extreme North's needs. 96 97
When Lu Yuan asks Ice Empress to become a Soul Ring for her, Snow Empress urges Bing'er not to force herself and emphasizes that the Extreme North still needs a guardian. Ice Empress nevertheless agrees in principle, provided her consciousness and freedom to manifest are preserved and she can remain beside Snow Empress. 95
Snow Empress absorbs four pieces of Profound Ice Marrow herself and thanks Lu Yuan for helping her return home and secure the resources. She watches Ice Empress's four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation with intense concern, relaxing only after Bing'er survives, and then checks on her while Bi Ji heals her injuries. 99 100
Before departing, Snow Empress summons the region's Soul Beasts and announces that Ah Tai and Xiao Bai will jointly handle its affairs. She asks the beasts to cooperate in preserving the Extreme North's peace while she and Ice Empress are away. 101
Soul Core Formation and Ice Empress's Seclusion
At Star Dou Forest, Snow Empress absorbs Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's Soul Ring and agrees to guide Lu Yuan's unusually early attempt at Soul Core condensation. She corrects his initial approach, supervises the formation of the attributed vortex, and supplies power during its final integration into his body. 101 102
Ice Empress subsequently leaves to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Snow Empress cannot accompany her for an extended stay because of her bond to Lu Yuan, although Di Tian promises that she will keep Ice Empress company after three years regardless of whether Bing'er reaches five hundred thousand years. 103
During a later visit, Snow Empress interrupts Lu Yuan and Ice Empress's possessive argument over her and insists that Bing'er reach five hundred thousand years before becoming her Soul Ring. When Ice Empress claims that the decision belongs to Lu Yuan, Snow Empress asserts her own ability to reject a ring. Their teasing escalates until she transforms into her teenage form and chases both of them with an ice sword, though she ultimately refrains from striking them. 136 137
On another visit, she refuses to manifest because Ice Empress's constant hugging has become tiresome. She remains inside Lu Yuan and listens while he and Bi Ji discuss Bing'er's devotion to her. 152
Ice Empress's Sacrifice
After mastering Ice Explosion, Ice Empress agrees to fulfill her promise to sacrifice herself. Snow Empress again asks whether she is certain, warning that the change will cost her former freedom. Bing'er explains that she no longer wants to be alone and wishes to stay beside her at all times; Snow Empress gently pats her head and accepts her decision. 154
Before the ritual, Snow Empress privately asks Electrolux to reproduce the earlier magical mishap that made her a little girl. Electrolux preserves Ice Empress's soul with Soul Chains while Lu Yuan directs her essence into cultivation and Soul Ring formation. Snow Empress absorbs two orange-gold rings, obtaining Ice Explosion and Martial Soul Avatar, while Lu Yuan reaches level ninety. 154 155
Ice Empress then manifests as a palm-sized Ice Jade Scorpion that can only chirp and apparently does not remember her former identity. Snow Empress catches her when she jumps toward her, recognizes Electrolux's knowing response, and affectionately asks Bing'er to call her “Mommy.” 155
Dual Soul Cores and God-Bestowed Soul Rings
Snow Empress cares for Little Ice Empress while Lu Yuan undertakes his second Soul Core condensation. Though she warns him about the danger, she accepts his determination and watches with Bi Ji and Electrolux as he establishes an ice-and-fire yin-yang complementary dual-core cycle. 156
Lu Yuan then gives her two God-Bestowed Soul Rings and proposes that she seek sword-type abilities. Confident in their shared prospects, she entrusts Little Ice Empress to Bi Ji while beginning cultivation. Later, when Lu Yuan recommends absorbing a ring in the Void Realm, she chooses to take Bing'er inside with her rather than leave her in his Mental Sea. 156 158
Relationships
- Lu Yuan — Her host and “exclusive partner.” He bought her Sealing God Platform, coerced her acceptance of fusion through threats to the Extreme North, and later treats her as a living companion rather than a tool. Their souls and fates are permanently connected. She increasingly trusts his cultivation plans and privately suspects that his influence has made her more emotionally expressive and mischievous. 53 54 56 57 137 156
- Ice Empress — Her closest companion, called “Bing'er.” Ice Empress is intensely attached to Snow Empress and views Lu Yuan as having taken the life she wished to share with her. Snow Empress consistently comforts, protects, and defends her. Although she sometimes avoids Bing'er's excessive hugging, she carefully confirms that her sacrifice is voluntary. After Ice Empress becomes her Soul Rings and regresses into a tiny scorpion, Snow Empress adopts a tender, maternal attitude, carries her close, and asks her to call her “Mommy.” 94 95 99 152 154 155 156 158
- Xiao Bai — Her adopted son, the Ice Bear King. She raised him personally, disciplines him strictly, and entrusts him with helping Ah Tai guard the Extreme North. 97 98
- Ah Tai / Titan Snow Demon King — A major defender of the Extreme North. She gives him six pieces of Profound Ice Marrow and later appoints him to jointly manage the region with Xiao Bai during her and Ice Empress's absence. 97 101
- Electrolux — The Holy Necromancer who performs the soul-preserving fusion ritual. His experimental additions cause her temporary memory loss and child form, but also allow her unusual freedom as a Martial Soul. She later secretly asks him to recreate that transformation during Ice Empress's sacrifice, and he preserves Bing'er's soul with Soul Chains. 54 55 154 155
- Di Tian — A powerful Soul Beast who once attempted to recruit her to the Silver Dragon King's cause and fought her in the Extreme North. He later recognizes her altered aura and openly laughs at her childlike form. He respects her mastery of ice and supports Lu Yuan's Soul Core attempt on the strength of her guidance. 54 87 102
- Gu Yuena — The Silver Dragon King and Lu Yuan's protector. Snow Empress's alliance with Lu Yuan ultimately brings her into Gu Yuena's faction, where Gu Yuena accepts Ice Empress as an ally as well. 101
- Bi Ji — A Star Dou Forest ally who accompanies Snow Empress's return to the Extreme North, heals Ice Empress after her Heavenly Tribulation, and witnesses the bond between the two Empresses. Snow Empress later entrusts Little Ice Empress to her care while beginning God-Bestowed Soul Ring cultivation. 94 100 156
- Xiao Xiao and Gu Qiu'er — Lu Yuan's companions, who quickly accept her unusual existence as a living Martial Soul. They respond affectionately to her child form and defend her when Xiao Hongchen provokes her. Xiao Xiao later addresses her as “Sister Snow Empress.” 55 56 103
- Xiao Hongchen — An unsuccessful bidder for her sealed embryo. After the fusion, he mocks her child form and receives a snowball to the face in retaliation. 53 56
Trivia
- In her memoryless child form, Snow Empress initially communicates almost exclusively with “Yaya~.” 55
- She can eat ordinary food despite being a Martial Soul, startling Xiao Xiao and Gu Qiu'er. 55 56
- She is mortified when Di Tian sees her acting cute toward Lu Yuan and immediately retreats into Lu Yuan's Martial Soul Space. 87
- She repeatedly threatens to make Lu Yuan call her “Mom” after deciding he requires the supervision of an irresponsible child. 98 102
- After Xiao Bai calls Lu Yuan “Dad” in exchange for Profound Ice Marrow, she instead declares that Xiao Bai and Lu Yuan are brothers. 98
- She secretly arranges for Ice Empress to experience a transformation resembling her own earlier magical mishap, then enjoys caring for Bing'er as a miniature scorpion. 154 155
- She likes swords and agrees to Lu Yuan's suggestion that she consider sword-type abilities when absorbing God-Bestowed Soul Rings. 156
- When taking Little Ice Empress into the Void Realm for cultivation, she tells her that they are going inside to play. 158
