Personality

The Ice Empress is proud, imperious, and quick to anger when her authority is challenged. Initially, she dismisses Huo Yuhao because of his low cultivation and repeatedly calls Tian Meng a coward. Her competitive pride also extends to ordinary tasks: she refuses to accept that a human could surpass her control of ice, even while struggling to regulate a charcoal fire 87 88 116.

Her clan’s safety is a firm boundary. She reacts furiously when Huo Yuhao suggests obtaining soul rings from her kin and when an Ice Jade Scorpion’s soul bone appears at auction. Her attachment to the Snow Empress likewise breaks through her usual composure, producing desperation during the rescue effort and open joy upon their reunion 92 138 184 263.

Although she initially tries to control Huo Yuhao’s future, she gradually learns to trust him. She abandons a plan to seize his body, supports his decision to remain in the Sun Moon Empire, and later describes her years as his Wisdom Soul Ring as more fulfilling than her long centuries in the Far North. She nevertheless dislikes human banquets and the attention her appearance attracts 121 270 486 502.

Background / History

Ruler of the Far North

The Ice Empress spent hundreds of thousands of years cultivating and ruling in the Far North. She witnessed numerous battles and the deaths of kin who failed their heavenly tribulations, but later recalled much of that immense lifespan as repetitive. The Snow Empress was her enduring companion, sharing experiences that few other beings could understand 502.

She commanded the small but powerful Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, which numbered fewer than one hundred members when Huo Yuhao encountered it. Two of its members had already reached the hundred-thousand-year level. She also maintained close ties with the Snow Maiden Clan across generations 91 184.

Capture and Fusion

Tian Meng and Huo Yuhao sought the Ice Empress to evolve Huo Yuhao’s ice martial soul into Ultimate Ice. Tian Meng distracted her and trapped her in a binding net made from his discarded shell, leaving her unable to use her pincers or stinger 86 87.

Negotiations became coercive. After Tian Meng’s attack terrified her, Huo Yuhao threatened both her life and the future of her clan. She surrendered her spiritual origin and agreed to provide a soul ring and torso soul bone in exchange for his promise to lead her to godhood 89.

Huo Yuhao unexpectedly absorbed her soul ring and torso bone simultaneously, forcing her to intervene to keep the power under control. He also absorbed her original scorpion tail as an external soul bone. The completed fusion gave his ice martial soul Ultimate Ice and left the Ice Empress alive in a tangible spiritual form 90 91 92.

She then attempted to keep him in the Far North under her clan’s protection. Huo Yuhao refused, and Electrolux’s intervention persuaded her to accompany him into the wider world. She arranged matters with her clan before departing 91.

Agreement with Huo Yuhao

Despite their fusion, the Ice Empress later asked Tian Meng to help her take over Huo Yuhao’s body. Tian Meng refused to betray him. Having overheard them, Huo Yuhao offered her his body if he failed to bring both soul beasts to godhood within thirty years. She declined and told him that she believed in him 121.

Rescue of the Snow Empress

The Ice Empress sensed a familiar aura within an auctioned Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo and suspected that it contained the Snow Empress. A later investigation of the Snow Maiden Clan convinced her: none of its hundred-thousand-year members were missing, leaving the Snow Empress as the likely captive 141 184.

She swore in the Ice God’s name that the Far North would support Huo Yuhao if he rescued her companion. During an attack on the Illustrious Virtue Hall, she reached the God-Sealing Platform and began disabling its protective soul tools, but Earth-Cracking Douluo’s intrusion and approaching reinforcements forced her to withdraw 184 247.

When the platform finally shattered, she briefly reunited with the Snow Empress before Long Xiaoyao and Du Busi attempted to capture them. The Snow Empress detonated herself to enable her escape. The Ice Empress gathered the remaining origin power and, with Tian Meng and Electrolux’s assistance, preserved it inside Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness 262.

The Snow Empress awakened there, embraced the Ice Empress, and subsequently became another of Huo Yuhao’s Wisdom Soul Rings 263 264.

Return to the Far North and Conflict with Star Dou

After six or seven years away, the Ice Empress returned to the Far North and reunited warmly with Xiao Lu. Reflecting on her travels, she recognized how profoundly her life with Huo Yuhao had changed her. She and the Snow Empress entrusted their futures—and that of their homeland—to his promise to become its Ice God 502.

Their authority helped rally the Far North’s soul beasts. During the ensuing confrontation with Star Dou’s ferocious beasts, the Ice Empress fused with Tian Meng as he transformed into an ice butterfly. Taking command of their combined power, she blocked Xiong Jun’s Sky-Rending Claw and challenged Di Tian 502 517 518.
