An Embarrassing Moment Before the Snow Empress

"Senior Snow Empress, it's been a long time."

Yu Tianshuang looked at the giant ape, its hands resting on its shoulders, its long, snow-white hair flowing smoothly down its back, its ethereal, pure sky-blue eyes like sapphires, silently gazing at Yu Tianshuang as it flew towards it. A fleeting, inexplicable look of disappointment flashed across its eyes as it glanced almost imperceptibly at its hands, and it smiled slightly before saying:

"Humans truly deserve to be called the favored creatures of heaven and earth. In just a few years, your strength has increased to such a level. Back then, you could only fly by relying on the power of others, but now you can walk on the ground as if it were flat ground. Although I am Heavenly Snow Woman formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of heaven and earth, compared with you humans, I am really nothing. Nearly 700,000 years of cultivation is not as good as your mere hundred years of cultivation."

For Ferocious Beast, especially for one of the top ten Ferocious Beast like Snow Empress who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, five years is truly a blink of an eye. Looking at Yu Tianshuang floating beside her, she couldn't help but sigh. It really seems like only a blink of an eye has passed, and he has grown to this level.

"Senior Snow Empress, you too will become human, just like Senior Ice Empress. I've returned this time to fulfill our promise from back then and help you transform into a human."

Whether now or in the past, Yu Tianshuang was always amazed by Snow Empress's appearance, temperament and demeanor. If we only talk about appearance, Qian Renxue is indeed more perfect than Snow Empress and Senior Sister Bing'er. However, whether it is Snow Empress or Bing'er Sister Bing'er, their temperament and demeanor make them no less than Qian Renxue.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you..."

Snow Empress nodded, then waited for Yu Tianshuang to transform her into a human. She glanced at Ice Empress, who was standing on the back of a giant Ice Phoenix not far away, looking at her anxiously. Suddenly, she felt a little nervous and expectant. She... could also become a human like her, and truly see the world as a human.

Yu Tianshuang closed her eyes, recalling the scene in her mind when she transformed the Ice Empress into a human. First, she slowly reached out and placed her hand on the Snow Empress's shoulder. After waiting for a while, she found that it had no effect. Then, she used her Soul Power to communicate with the Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal she had poured into her body. She found that it only made it spin faster. She couldn't help but feel a headache. Suddenly, she thought of Sisi and tried to pour the True Essence Power into it. Unfortunately, these actions only made the Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal spin faster and did not bring about the earth-shattering scene of that year.

"Um... Senior Snow Empress, could you, um, release some hostility or killing intent towards me, or try attacking me yourself..."

Although Yu Tianshuang had anticipated this scene when he arrived, he solemnly declared, "I've come to fulfill my promise." However, when the unexpected situation actually occurred, he was still embarrassed and sweating profusely, especially when he met Snow Empress's ethereal yet slightly questioning eyes. He wished he could find a snowdrift and disappear right then and there.

"Pfft... Alright, then I'll unleash some hostility and killing intent first..."

Snow Empress didn't know why, but this little human suddenly gave her a cute feeling. Even though nothing had happened and she was a little disappointed, seeing him like this made her feel better. She covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh, then nodded with a smile.

"Forehead..."

Yu Tianshuang stared at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, especially when she smiled. The scene was breathtaking, like a painting, and he was momentarily stunned. But the next moment, a terrifying killing intent far surpassing that of Yu Yuanzhen swept over him, causing him to subconsciously summon Frost Dragon to possess him, instantly transforming into Dragon Transformation.

The killing intent released by the 690,000-year-old Ferocious Beast was terrifying. Even from a distance, Shui Bing'er and the others were shocked by this sudden killing intent. Except for Ice Empress and Shui Bing'er, who were sweating profusely, the others couldn't help but kneel down. Fortunately, the killing intent was not directed at them, but was just an aftershock. With Ice Empress and Shui Bing'er standing in front of them, they felt a little better.

"This... is this the true strength of Senior Snow Empress? It's terrifying..."

Shui Yue'er felt as if she could die at any moment. She couldn't help but look at the stunningly beautiful woman. Thinking that she had actually spent five years with such a terrifying being, and that she had often gone to chat with her, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Senior, please make your move. I'm afraid killing intent alone won't be enough to activate the Purple Seal within me. Please, make your move with the determination to kill me!"

After resisting for a while, Yu Tianshuang found that the Purple Seal in her body was still not moving. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak. After all, Senior Ice Empress really wanted to kill her, which was why she activated the Purple Seal to leave her body and then transformed her into a human.

"Okay, I understand."

In the past five years, besides undergoing the God Trial of the Ice and Snow Divine Hall, the Ice Empress would also come to chat with him from time to time to relieve his boredom. They had talked a lot about the transformation of humans, so when he learned that Yu Tianshuang wanted to recreate the scene of the Ice Empress, he nodded, then mysteriously turned a snow-white hand in front of him, and then swung out a palm.

"Emperor's Palm: Great Cold Without Snow!"

This move was incredibly powerful, but it had to actually hit the opponent. The two were already very close, and Snow Empress's palm strike landed directly on Yu Tianshuang's chest. However, she was still a little scared. Although he had grown a lot, he probably still wasn't strong enough to withstand her full power. So she held back half of her strength when she made the move.

"Puff..."

Even so, the attack from the 690,000-year-old Ferocious Beast still caused Yu Tianshuang to cough up blood and fly away instantly. The Snow Empress herself was the master of Ultimate Ice, and the attack of the Emperor Palm: Great Cold Without Snow amplified this Ultimate Power to an incredibly terrifying level. Even though Yu Tianshuang was also an ice-attribute Soul Master, he could not make all his attacks the Ultimate Power. At this moment, while flying in the air, he was frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture. Fortunately, the Ice Empress on the Ice Phoenix had been watching everything and caught him as he was rapidly retreating.

"Sigh... it seems there are still some conditions that haven't been triggered. This Purple Seal just won't budge. Ugh..."

Although the Snow Empress immediately thawed the frozen state, to be honest, he used to be the one turning others into ice sculptures, and now that he himself had been turned into an ice sculpture by the Snow Empress, he was really not used to it and couldn't help but sneeze.

"It's alright, there's still a long time before my great calamity of 700,000 years. I believe you'll find a way..."

Snow Empress felt empty inside; it would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed. But since this little human had risked his life to help her, she could only suppress her feelings and speak.

"Senior Snow Empress, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill our promise..."

A month has passed, and as usual, Flender came to the altar to check on things, but as before, the chubby Ma Hongjun still hadn't come out. Although he knew that Ma Hongjun, as the heir of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan, wouldn't be in any danger, he was still the child he had raised himself, and in his heart, he already regarded him as his own son.

"Sigh... I knew I shouldn't have brought this brat here. What if something really happened? Sigh..."

Flender sighed softly, took one last deep look at the fiery gate at the altar entrance, suppressed the urge to rush in and investigate, sighed again, and turned to leave.

"Boom!!!"

Just then, the ground began to shake violently, and an extremely hot flame emanated from the altar. Then, a loud "Li!" phoenix cry rang out, and a phoenix made entirely of flames shot out of the altar, spread its wings in the air, and slowly dissipated after a while. A strong figure slowly walked out of the altar's entrance. Judging from his appearance, he looked very much like Ma Hongjun, except that he had become very thin.

"Teacher!!! I'm out! This wretched place, I'm finally out! Waaah, teacher, you have no idea what I've been through... down there..."

As soon as Ma Hongjun came out, he saw Flender guarding the door. Seeing Flander's wide-open mouth and surprised expression, he suddenly ran over, shouting and opening his arms.

"Songsong, loosen your grip. You're such a grown-up, why are you so clumsy? But why have you gotten so thin? Is there no food down there? Wait, didn't you bring plenty of food with you...?"

Flender looked at Ma Hongjun rushing over to hug him and instinctively tried to dodge in disgust. But to his surprise, he didn't dodge and was firmly hugged by Ma Hongjun. He couldn't help but be surprised. You see, he was Soul Douluo of the Agility type. Although he hadn't released his Martial Soul, he was still hugged by Ma Hongjun. This surprised him. It seemed that this brat had really benefited a lot down there.

"Senior sister... is this the Ice and Snow Divine Hall? Are there really gods enshrined inside?"

The Ice and Snow Divine Hall is located in the heart of the Far North, only a short distance from where the Snow Empress lived. At this moment, Yu Tianshuang looked at the majestic palace covered in ice and snow, which seemed to have existed for countless years. This sense of vicissitude and profound history made him feel shocked.

"What? Shocked? We were just as shocked when we first saw the Ice and Snow Divine Hall. The manifestation of such divine power is truly awe-inspiring. But what are you thinking? How could a god be kept in a temple in the human realm? There's only a trace of the Ice God's consciousness inside. But you can consider it a god, though."

Shui Bing'er looked at Yu Tianshuang's wide-eyed, shocked expression as he gazed at the Ice and Snow Divine Hall before him, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. As the heir to the Ice God's Godhood, his current performance pleased her greatly.

"You need to communicate with the stone tablet at the entrance first and complete the test to be qualified to enter the Ice and Snow Divine Hall. We'll go in first. Although we haven't completed the God Trial, cultivating in the temple will be very beneficial for us Soul Master of the same attribute."

"Hey, hurry up! Don't keep us waiting too long. It's actually not fun inside at all. Hey, sister, what are you doing..."

Shui Yue'er looked at Yu Tianshuang with some reluctance, after all, they had only been reunited for a short time, and she thought about how much effort they had put into passing the test to enter the temple. Although she was reluctant to part with Yu Tianshuang, she was very stubborn. However, Shui Bing'er didn't care about her and grabbed her ear to enter the temple.

"Forehead..."

When he placed his palm on the stone tablet at the entrance of the temple, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and the scene before his eyes distorted. However, it quickly subsided, and he seemed to have been teleported to a certain place in the temple. The space here was enormous, nearly a thousand meters in diameter, and in the center hung an ice-blue key, as if it were sculpted entirely from solid ice.

"Human, you meet the test to enter the temple. If you wish to accept the test, go and touch the Key of Ice and Snow at the center..."

A voice, ethereal yet imposing, echoed from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its location. Yu Tianshuang had already heard Shui Bing'er and the others mention it; this must be the consciousness left behind by the Ice God in the temple.

"Soul Power Level: 70. Your challenge is to defeat this Soul Beast in the illusion."

When Yu Tianshuang touched the suspended Key of Ice and Snow at the center, a feeling as if he were being scanned from top to bottom came from his palm. However, the Purple Seal in his body blocked this scanning power to some extent. It seems that the Purple Seal did not want the consciousness left behind by the Ice God to be discovered.

Tiny ice particles, like fine sand, appeared out of thin air from all around, then quickly gathered together, coalescing into a Titan Snow Demon Ape at the center like sand forming a tower. Although this Titan Snow Demon Ape, formed from an illusion, was nearly 30 meters tall, it was as small as a child compared to the Titan Snow Demon Ape King beside the Snow Empress. Having grown accustomed to the enormous size of the Titan Snow Demon Ape King, even though I felt as small as an ant compared to it, I didn't know why, but its size just seemed so small.

Adult Titan Snow Demon Ape are over 50 meters tall, while this Titan Snow Demon Ape is only about 30 meters tall. It is just an immature Titan Snow Demon Ape. It seems that the Ice God's consciousness did not test them based on their actual strength and talent, but entirely on their Soul Power Level.

The true strength of this Titan Snow Demon Ape should be around that of Soul Saint. Using it to test himself was a gross underestimation of it. This also made Yu Tianshuang discover a loophole. If the one who came to be tested was not himself, but another level 70 Soul Emperor without Seventh Soul Ring, then this Titan Snow Demon Ape would be completely invincible to him. After all, having or not having Martial Soul Avatar makes a world of difference for a Soul Saint. The Ice God's consciousness in this temple can only recognize Soul Power. Since his Soul Power was level 70, it judged him according to the Soul Saint's assessment standards. It seems that his senior sister was right. The Ice God's consciousness left in this temple is indeed not controlled by the Ice God. It is likely that the Ice God will only descend into this consciousness when needed.

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword: Ice Chill Storm Slash!"

Even against Titan Snow Demon Ape equivalent to Soul Saint, Yu Tianshuang couldn't take it seriously. She simply raised her hand and summoned the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, pouring her Soul Power into the sword and thrusting it forward. A storm of icy blue, carrying terrifying chill and sword energy, surged from the tip of the sword and then rapidly swept forward. As the distance it traveled increased, the frost storm grew larger and larger, finally striking the massive Titan Snow Demon Ape and shattering it into chunks of ice.
