Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 185: Snow Empress Summons
"Tianmeng, don't say any more!" Ice Empress said coldly.
She was not interested in Tianmeng Iceworm's declaration of love.
Then she flew directly to Snow Empress's side and said, "Snow Empress, let's start now. It's been a long time since I last saw my clansmen.
Later, I will choose a new clan leader from among them, hoping it can inherit my position and lead the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to continued glory."
Snow Empress hummed in acknowledgment.
Then her body gradually returned to its original state, and Huo Yuhao could feel the soul power within him rapidly draining.
Although Snow Empress had sealed her origin power within Huo Yuhao, as Huo Yuhao's strength increased, he would be able to unlock more and more of that origin power.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's physical constitution would gradually strengthen, and his total soul power would also increase.
Of course, allowing Snow Empress to return to her original state did not consume much of Huo Yuhao's energy; only if Snow Empress prepared to go all out in a fight would pressure on Huo Yuhao suddenly increase.
Huo Yuhao looked at Snow Empress, dressed in white, and said, "Snow Empress, I have an idea to cooperate with the Soul Beasts of the Extreme North—allowing some Soul Beasts whose lives are nearing their end to become human Spirit Souls, and to establish a Spirit Pagoda outpost here.
I admit that becoming a Spirit Soul has certain drawbacks, but Spirit Souls are somewhat similar to Soul Bones in that they can be inherited. This means that Soul Beasts who choose to become Spirit Souls, as long as they wish to continue living in this form, will not die under normal circumstances."
A very important characteristic of the Soul Beasts in the Extreme North is that they are basically all ice-attributed, so the Extreme North is indeed a holy land for ice-attributed Soul Masters to obtain soul rings.
In Huo Yuhao's view, soul rings cannot compare to Spirit Souls, so if some ice-attributed Soul Masters could possess Spirit Souls originating from the Extreme North, those Soul Masters would undoubtedly improve their strength significantly.
Of course, Huo Yuhao admitted that he was not a selfless person; once he could persuade Snow Empress, these Spirit Souls would undoubtedly be prioritized for his subordinate forces.
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress paused. She hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to say such a thing. After a moment of thought, she felt that this would also be a good thing for those Soul Beasts whose time was short.
So she nodded: "Alright. However, I'll need to explain this to the other Soul Beasts of the Extreme North later."
After saying these words, Snow Empress exuded a formidable aura, and a peculiar sound also emanated from her mouth, gradually spreading throughout the entire Extreme North Core Area.
At the same time, she flew into the air and began to dance gracefully.
The Extreme North Core Area is very dangerous, one reason being the extremely low temperatures here; even an ordinary Titled Douluo coming to the Extreme North would need to consume a large amount of soul power to withstand the cold.
Therefore, the strength of ordinary Titled Douluo in the Extreme North would be greatly weakened.
But Snow Empress was different; even the extremely powerful gales in the air now became an aid to Snow Empress's dance. Her sleeves fluttered in the wind—like swirling clouds, beautiful beyond compare.
Tianmeng, who was beside her, looked at this scene with some emotion: "The Dance of the Snow Empress, a rare sight in many years. Since I can remember, I've only seen the Snow Empress dance once; this should be the second time now."
The Ice Empress was also watching the Snow Empress's dance at this moment. On her ice-cold face, a smile— for the first time— appeared. At this moment, the Ice Empress seemed captivated by Snow Empress's dance; after all, Snow Empress dancing was a rare occurrence.
For Snow Empress, everything she was currently doing was merely to summon the Soul Beasts in the Extreme North.
As the undisputed king of the Extreme North, Snow Empress held high prestige and absolute dominance over the Soul Beasts here.
Even the renowned Beast God Di Tian, unless he came with the command of the soul beast co-ruler, could not control this place. Of course, in terms of strength, Snow Empress was naturally inferior to Di Tian, but Di Tian was a guardian of his master and a fellow who cared for the overall situation of the Soul Beast Clan. So it was naturally impossible for him to target Snow Empress without reason.
After some time, the Snow Empress's dance concluded.
Huo Yuhao watched the entire process of Snow Empress's dance, and his first reaction was that Snow Empress indeed danced very well. Perhaps because she was a Heavenly Snow Woman, this could be considered an innate racial talent.
Just then, the entire Extreme North Core Area was shaken by a series of earth-shattering sounds, and the snow-white ground suddenly became colorful.
Those vibrant colors came from the Soul Beasts.
Huo Yuhao, with the help of the Spiritual Detection and Sharing, could easily observe the arrival of those Soul Beasts.
Most of the Soul Beasts were pure white, but others displayed various colors.
These Soul Beasts, rushing madly, were diverse; some flapped their wings, soaring through the cold wind, and emitting sharp cries.
Others trampled the hard, icy ground, charging rapidly toward Snow Empress's direction.
Of course, these Soul Beasts all had one thing in common: they were extremely excited as if they had encountered a great stroke of luck.
After some time, most of the Soul Beasts gathered, their bodies prostrate on the ground, emitting a series of hissing sounds—seemingly welcoming the Snow Empress's arrival.
Of course, Soul Beasts respect strength, so many less powerful Soul Beasts lay at the periphery, while some powerful Soul Beasts continued to rush toward Snow Empress's location.
Bang, bang, bang!
Giant, earthquake-like sounds reverberated in the air.
Huo Yuhao saw a huge white bear and a massive Ice Demon Titan advancing non-stop.
The icy ground they stepped on collapsed, leaving deep footprints.
Compared to the steady Ice Demon Titan, the giant white bear's steps were more erratic; as it ran, it even began to leap.
"Ice Bear King and Ice Demon Titan King," Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, and impressions of these two great Soul Beasts appeared in his mind.
The former had a rather simple and honest personality, so sometimes it could even do amusing things. As for the latter, although its horizons were limited due to being in the Extreme North for many years, its mental fortitude was far superior to the Ice Bear King's.
The Ice Bear King often seemed like an ungrown child.
"Snow Empress!" Ice Demon Titan King called out, then respectfully sat down, looking at Snow Empress.
"Ah Tai," Snow Empress nodded slightly.
Ice Bear King was much more direct; it had no such rules. It immediately ran to Snow Empress's side, rolling around and frolicking—not like a fierce beast with nearly two hundred thousand years of cultivation, but rather like a small dog.
Snow Empress smiled, extended her hand, and directly stroked Ice Bear King's head, saying, "Xiao Bai, why do I feel like you've gotten a bit fatter? I remember you weren't this fat before."
Ice Bear King paused, then began to ponder whether he had indeed gotten fatter. What if he gained weight and Snow Empress distanced herself from him? What should he do? He had been raised by Snow Empress since he was young, so he was very attached to her.
After a moment of thought, he said somewhat guiltily, "Snow Empress, I have indeed been eating more lately. If you think I'm fat, then I can eat less from now on."
