After they entered the Far North Core Region, the Snow Empress soon captured the Ice Crystal Phoenix and brought it out of the Far North Abyss.
It was a magnificent bird with a wingspan of nearly ten meters.
Each of its feathers seemed carved from crystal, refracting aurora-like halos beneath the Far North's polar daylight.
Behind it, slender tail feathers a full three meters long traced crystalline trails of ice and snow through the air as it moved.
Yet its eyes, once as clear as gemstones, were now filled with chaotic emotions.
"Its cultivation is around twenty-seven thousand years. With its bloodline and the boost from the Far North, its combat strength is fairly decent."
"I won't knock it unconscious. Su Tong, fight it, with Huo Yuhao keeping it in check from the side."
Faced with Su Tong, who shared the same origin as her, the Snow Empress intended for her to become a bridge between the Far North and humanity in the future.
Thus, the Snow Empress wanted to see just how capable Su Tong was in battle.
"You two also receive a boost to your combat strength in the Far North, and your attributes completely suppress its own. Dealing with it won't be difficult."
Du Busi stood to one side with his arms folded, talking continuously with the Ice Bear King.
He had no objections to the Snow Empress's arrangements.
With him, the Snow Empress, and these Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts here, there was no chance of anything happening to Huo Yuhao or Su Tong.
However, as Du Busi looked at the nearly ten Soul Beasts before him, he was deeply puzzled. Why haven't I seen the Ice Empress?
The Snow Empress waved a hand, spreading a snow-white domain that cut off the Ice Crystal Phoenix's escape routes.
"Begin."
