Support from the Far North

Seeing the heavy snow and the frozen sea, the Demon Empress immediately lost his composure and his expression became uneasy.

Just now, countless Sea Soul Beast turned into frozen fish pieces as the sea surface froze, and many more Sea Soul Beast are trapped under the ice and cannot break through it for a short time.

"This is the power of Ultimate Ice and Snow?" the Demon Empress exclaimed in surprise. "Does the Heavenly Soul Empire still have ice-attribute Soul Master with such Ultimate Attribute? No, wait, this is--!"

In the distance, an army was slowly marching towards Skysea City.

This army includes human soldiers equipped with the most advanced Soul Guidance Technology, as well as countless ice-attribute Soul Beast.

These Soul Beast include the Titan Snow Demon race and the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, two of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Ice Crystal Phoenix flock with Phoenix Bloodline, the Snow Leopard Clan, the Frost Giant Wolf Clan, and so on.

Among these Soul Beast, the most powerful was a giant Ice Bear, the rarest of the Ice Bear Clan in the Far North. This Ice Bear's strength had already broken through to the level of Ferocious Beast, and behind him followed countless Ice Bear as they advanced.

However, neither the Titan Snow Demon Clan, nor the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, nor even the Ferocious Beast Ice Bear were the leaders of this army.

Standing at the very front of the army were two young girls.

One of them wore a silver-white battle robe, her long hair was as white as snow, and her eyes were as deep as a cold pool, as if they could see through everything. Her aura was cold and ruthless, like a sealed winter. She was the ruler of the Far North, the Snow Empress, also Xu Yanxue.

Another girl, dressed in a sea-blue battle suit, with long, wavy, light blue hair dancing in the cold wind, had eyes as vast as the ocean and a Golden Trident rune between her brows. She also held a Golden Trident in her hand, and blue-gold light began to shine upon the earth as she appeared. The girl was Wang Dong'er.

"You are the Snow Empress! Why would your Far North help humans?"

The Demon Empress was filled with confusion. As far as the Soul Beast were concerned, no matter what kind of war humans waged, they would not get involved as long as it was none of their business.

After all, the more Soul Beast die, the more beneficial it is for them. As long as the Soul Ring Method of Soul Master exist, there will never be a possibility of peace between humans and Soul Beast.

Her choice to help the Holy Spirit Cult Holy Spirit Cult was merely to use its power to massacre humans and prepare for revenge for her husband.

But what reason would the Snow Empress have to help humans? It seems she used some means to break through the limitations of the Ferocious Beast and regain her human form.

Even so, she shouldn't be able to command the Soul Beast of the Far North to aid humanity in its wars.

If this were the Far North, no Soul Beast would object to her doing this, given her past reputation. But this place is quite a distance from the Far North!

It can only be said that by staying in the sea to cultivate, the Demon Empress has not received the latest news from the mainland in recent years, such as the Soul Spirit Method spread by the Spirit Contract Pagoda, which have greatly alleviated the conflict between humans and Soul Beast.

Nowadays, more and more Soul Master no longer hunt Soul Beast, but instead choose to save up enough money to buy Soul Spirit, or work for the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Compared to the Soul Spirit Method in the original work, Xu Xingyu's Soul Spirit Art is more complete, and there's no need to worry about the issue of Soul Beast being domesticated ten thousand years later, as described in the original work.

Furthermore, Xu Yanxue is in charge of the Spirit Contract Pagoda in the Far North, so the Far North, like the Star Dou Great Forest, maintains a close relationship with the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

It's just calling on a small group of people to help fight a war. Even if they die, as long as they aren't turned into Soul Spirit in time and can't find a master, they'll revert to being Soul Beast.

Under such circumstances, Soul Beast from all over the world are willing to lend a hand to the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Of course, this only applies to the Spirit Contract Pagoda. As for other matters, the Soul Beast forces in the gathering places of Soul Beast on the continent still have little interest in getting involved.

The Soul Beast of the Far North are only going out of their way because of Xu Yanxue and the help the Spirit Contract Pagoda has given them over the years.

However, the Demon Empress quickly put the matter out of her mind, because after a brief moment of calm, she sensed the aura that she deeply loathed—the aura of the Sea God.

"That's the Golden Trident of the First Generation Sea God! And that aura! You are the successor of the Sea God! No, the Sea God's aura on you comes not only from the God Examination, but also from the aura within your bloodline. What is your relationship with Tang San?"

Faced with the Demon Empress's barrage of questions, Wang Dong'er sighed and said, "I am Wang Dong'er, formerly known as Tang Wutong and Tang Xiao Qi. I am Tang San's daughter, sent down from the Divine Realm."

These words, once spoken, were met with Xu Yanxue, who already knew the truth, as well as the Soul Beast.

"Tang San's daughter!?" The Demon Empress laughed angrily, "I never expected this! My trip was only to force out the successor chosen by Tang San, but I never imagined that the Sea God Inheritance would be his daughter! That's just like that hypocritical villain's nature—he'd never give anything good to an outsider!"

"Back then, your father only wanted to complete the assessment and incidentally obtain my husband's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, yet he insisted on slandering my husband as Evil in the sea, in order to demonstrate how great and righteous he himself was..."

"And today I will use his daughter's blood as the first step in my revenge! Prepare to die!!!"

After saying that, the Demon Empress flung the Du Busi aside, unleashed all his Soul Power towards Wang Dong'er, and then launched an attack with a fist formed from his Soul Power.

Seeing this, Wang Dong'er immediately picked up the Sea God Trident and blocked the Demon Empress's punch. Then, while the two were locked in a stalemate, she spoke up, "You're right. The mistake back then was my father's. He only hunted down the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to satisfy his own greed."

"Therefore, it is your right to feel anger towards me, Tang San's daughter, and to want to use my life to avenge my father. I have no right to tell you that you should let go of your hatred, or that you have gone too far."

"After all, it's best not to advise others to be kind without first knowing their situation. But just as you have your reasons for revenge, I also have my reasons for living."

"If you want my life, then let's see if you can take it! Winter Star Butterfly Whisper!"

The Four-Word Battle Armor belonging to Wang Dong'er was instantly donned on her body. With the appearance of the Battle Armor, Wang Dong'er's strength went from an ordinary Titled Douluo to a level that was infinitely close to the Limit Douluo.

With the boost from her Battle Armor, Wang Dong'er repelled the Demon Empress Demon Empress and prepared to face his next attack.

The Demon Empress laughed angrily, "You have a reason to live? My husband had a reason to live too! You want to live? Your Tang family isn't worthy!!!"

A great war sparked by hatred spanning millennia is finally about to begin.
