The Ice God's Remnant Soul Stealing the Show, Guardian of the Extreme Ice Temple, Snow Empress!

Late at night, Luo Zixi was awakened by a deep, resonant voice.

When he woke up, he found himself in a very peculiar ice-blue space.

"Kid, I am the Ice God. I wish to bestow my inheritance upon you. Are you willing?"

At that moment, a burly, stern-faced middle-aged man clad in ice-blue armor slowly revealed himself before Luo Zixi.

"Holy shit."

The moment Luo Zixi saw his true appearance, he could not help but curse.

No, you call yourself a god, yet you look like this?

Seeing the disbelief written all over Luo Zixi's face, the Ice God assumed that he had agreed and nodded complacently.

"Since you have agreed, I will have your future guardian take you to the inheritance site. That is all. We will discuss the rest after you arrive there!"

As the mysterious space collapsed, Luo Zixi's consciousness returned to his body.

No, are you an idiot?! You just up and left like that?

Fuck! (＃｀)凸

Whatever, whatever. The Goddess of Life's inheritance mark was already within his body anyway. Even if that fool of an Ice God took him to his inheritance site, it would probably be pointless.

Luo Zixi opened his eyes and, through the feedback from the ice and snow, discovered that it was still late at night.

He tried to turn over, only to find half his body pinned beneath something soft. This was accompanied by the sound of steady breathing.

Ever since Hu Liena had seen his true face yesterday, Luo Zixi had realized that, just like in the original work, she was a looks addict.

God knew how blinding the gleam in her eyes had been when she saw his face last night.

Luo Zixi casually pulled Hu Liena's limbs aside, then tossed the beast-hide blanket scattered beside him over her.

This woman's sleeping posture was truly terrible. Had he known, he would have made this place bigger.

Still, it did not matter. Since he was awake, he might as well absorb this soul bone that possessed the Divine Skill, Ice Burst Technique.

As he took the soul bone from the System Warehouse, an icy-cool sensation appeared in his palm.

But before he could begin absorbing it, a system notification sounded directly in his mind.

Detected the 40,000 Year Ice Jade Scorpion Right Arm Bone, which contains the special skill Ice Burst Technique.

Congratulations, Host. You have touched the 40,000 Year Ice Jade Scorpion Right Arm Bone containing the soul bone skill Ice Burst Technique. The golden trait "Heaven-Defying Comprehension" remains continuously active for you.

Congratulations, Host. You have successfully learned Ice Burst Technique (Perfect Level).

Huh????

Well damn, this trait could be used like that too?

Luo Zixi immediately got excited. He still had two soul bones left in his inventory!

After taking out the soul bones and placing them in his hands, however, his system did not react at all.

It was only after he read the skill descriptions of the two soul bones that he suddenly understood.

Both of these soul bones only possessed straightforward enhancement-type skills. Only by absorbing them could he use them to improve his attributes.

Without absorbing them, there would be no medium. Without a medium, the system naturally could not replicate the skills.

Soon, every possible application of Ice Burst Technique flooded into his memories, as though he had personally practiced it tens of millions of times.

With the system's help, he had now completely mastered every application of Ice Burst Technique.

Luo Zixi soon turned his gaze to the other two soul bones. Forget it, they could sit in the System Warehouse. He really did not care about such minor boosts.

He hastily returned all three soul bones to the System Warehouse, then went back to sleep happily.

What he did not know was that after some unknown being sensed the energy fluctuations from him taking out the two Ice Jade Scorpion soul bones, Emerald Green eyes filled with fury turned toward his location.

"Detestable human! Not only did you slaughter my people, you even stole their soul bones! Unforgivable!"

An emerald-green figure flashed past. Beside where she had just been standing lay a fragment of countless Emerald Green crystal shards.

Elsewhere, in the core region of the Far North, Unfrozen Lake.

An ice-blue figure awakened the snow-white silhouette resting in a Snow House by the lake.

"My inheritor has appeared. Hurry and take him to the inheritance site."

The snow-white silhouette calmly watched the ice-blue figure before her. In the end, she merely placed one hand before herself and bowed slightly.

"Snow Empress, guardian of the Extreme Ice Temple, obeys."

That was right. This snow-white silhouette, like an ice-and-snow elf, was Snow Empress—the foremost of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a 790,000-year Soul Beast, and a spirit of ice and snow born from heaven and earth.

Seeing her response, the ice-blue figure naturally understood what she was thinking and said softly.

"Your final limit is approaching. Without the protection of a heavenly treasure, you will certainly not survive your next calamity. My inheritor may perhaps allow you to attain immortality in another way."

The ice-blue phantom looked at her with the kindly affection of a father regarding his daughter. Yet upon hearing this, Snow Empress merely nodded slightly. A faint ripple appeared in her silver-white eyes, though what filled them more was indifference.

"Detestable human! Where did he run off to now? Why has my clansmen's aura suddenly vanished again?!"

An Ice Jade Scorpion, emerald-green all over and bearing a golden mark on its head, its body resembling jade, wandered around the mountain where Luo Zixi rested for a long while.

Bang!

Bang!

Every step it took tested the mountain's solidity. Luo Zixi, who had only just closed his eyes, was jolted awake by the terrifying aura, while Hu Liena was also roused by the mountain's tremors.

Before she could say anything, Luo Zixi moved behind her and clamped a hand tightly over her mouth.

Yet the Emerald Green giant scorpion lingering outside the mountain still did not leave. She could sense that the aura of her kin was indeed here.

She thought left and right, racked her brains, went over it again and again—but she simply could not figure it out! She truly could not understand!

Her fiery temper absolutely could not stand this!

If her brain was not enough, she would make up for it with Soul Power!

BOOM!!!!

The Emerald Green giant scorpion unleashed all of her Soul Power, intending to level the entire place to the ground!

"Damned humans! I'll make you pay for the lives of my kin!!!"

An enraged female voice roared from the Emerald Green giant scorpion's mouth. Luo Zixi and Hu Liena exchanged a glance, each seeing the gravity in the other's eyes.

Luo Zixi knew this ice cave was absolutely not a place where they could linger. If the mountain collapsed, they would be crushed flat!

However, just as he activated his Ice Spirit Body, intending to use the trembling Ice Mountain as cover for his movements, Luo Zixi suddenly felt as though some terrifying existence had locked onto him.

At that moment, an icy female voice passed directly through the ice and reached both his and Hu Liena's ears.

"Filthy humans, this Empress has found you!"
