108: Chapter 108 Ferocious Beast Thirteen, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!

A long time later, Chi Wang's madness gradually subsided. Covered in wounds, its True Hellfire dim and lusterless, it became reticent, devoid of its former ferocity and rage.

It still lay every day in the Spiritual Plant blessed land by the Lake of Life, guarding the spot where the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had once rested, lying there for months at a time.

Its eyes were hollow, devoid of any spirit, like a shell that had lost its Soul.

In the years that followed, Chi Wang no longer participated in the disputes of the Vicious Beasts, nor did it vie for combat rankings; it simply kept watch over the old grounds of the Auspicious Beast, spending the rest of its life in solitude.

During the Star Dou Great Forest beast tide, it charged at the forefront, fighting as if it did not care for its life, wanting only to numb itself in the flames of war and forget the pain of losing the Auspicious Beast.

Its entire life had been dedicated to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion; from a high-spirited three-hundred-thousand-year Vicious Beast to a lonely and desolate guardian, it remained loyal and courageous throughout its life, never wavering, yet it ultimately arrived at a tragic end: its mission rendered void, left only to guard the emptiness for the rest of its days.

[The light screen slowly dimmed, the image freezing by the Lake of Life. Chi Wang lay alone beside the old nest of the Auspicious Beast. The setting sun stretched its shadow long; its red-gold mane was dull and lusterless, and its blood-tears had long since dried. Only that loyalty remained, forever engraved upon the land of the Star Dou Great Forest. Ten thousand beasts fell silent in mourning, and the heavens and earth shared in the sorrow!]

...

[Vicious Beast Ranking, thirteenth place: Ice Jade Empress Scorpion (Ice Empress)!]

[Cultivation: 389,900 years!]

[Reward: Cultivation increased by 80,000 years, obtain one tribulation transcending pill (after consuming it, one can be immune to one Heavenly Tribulation).]

Before the people on the Douluo Continent could react, amidst the churning golden sea of clouds, another Vicious Beast appeared on the list.

[Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, this is a top-tier ice-attribute Beast Spirit! And isn't this individual's Cultivation a bit too precise?]

[Indeed. If not for the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, in about 11,000 years, Ice Empress would have had to undergo her fourth Heavenly Tribulation. It is just unknown whether she can survive it.]

The lingering heat from the Star Dou Great Forest Vicious Beast ranking had not yet dissipated when the icy pressure from the Far North swept across the entire realm.

As the coldest forbidden zone of life on the Douluo Continent, the Far North nurtured the purest ice-attribute Origin and hid the most awe-inspiring top-tier powerhouses.

On this frozen plain, Ice Empress was the undisputed powerhouse, the supreme ruler of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion clan, the pillar of the three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and the key player driving the transformation of the entire Douluo Spirit Beast landscape.

Her life began in the cruel slaughter of the ice plains, was forged in the unification of ten thousand races, flourished in the gamble of the god-creation plan, and culminated in Perfection as she stood side-by-side with Snow Empress to become a god.

From a weak Ice Jade Scorpion hunted by natural enemies to the Ice Plain Queen ruling the Far North; from silently guarding Snow Empress to resolutely attacking Snow Empress after discovering the death of Tianmeng Iceworm, every step she took was wrapped in the bitterness of the ice plains and ultimate obsession, making her one of the most clear-headed, decisive, and deep-feeling Vicious Beasts in Douluo history.

The cold narration resounded throughout the entire realm, carrying the desolation and gravity unique to the ice plains.

[Using iron-fisted methods to rule the ten thousand races of the Far North, establishing a century of stability on the ice plains. Joining forces with Tianmeng Iceworm to push the god-creation plan, gambling her own future, all to seek a chance at survival. After Tianmeng Iceworm's faked death, in order to protect her lover, she resolutely struck, sparing no cost to oppose Snow Empress. She is the co-ruler of the Far North, the guardian of Snow Empress, and the most visionary and deep-feeling Vicious Beast in the Douluo Spirit Beast world!]

The ice plains of the Far North were never a place of comfort.

It was frozen year-round, the cold wind like a blade, and the air was filled with an ultimate cold capable of freezing and cracking Spirit Bones; every inch of land hid a lethal crisis.

In this cruel world, the survival of the fittest was the only Law; only the most powerful Spirit Beasts could stand at the top of the food chain and rule over a clan.

Ice Empress was born with the top-tier talent of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion clan.

As the empress of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, she was born with control over Ultimate Ice, the most top-tier elemental power on the Douluo Continent, one hundred times purer and a thousand times more terrifying than the power of ordinary ice-attribute Spirit Beasts.

During her youth, she also experienced the cruel slaughter of the ice plains. To survive, she battled ice-attribute Spirit Beasts and fought against natural enemies, relying on her talent for Ultimate Ice to step by step grow from a weak Ice Jade Scorpion into the elite of her clan.

As her Cultivation advanced day by day, Ice Empress's power became increasingly terrifying.

Her Cultivation of 389,900 years placed her at the Peak of the Far North Spirit Beasts, and her control over Ultimate Ice had reached the Transcendent realm.

She could easily freeze ten thousand miles of ice plains, causing space itself to condense into ice; she could use ice as a blade to shatter mountains; she could use ice as a shield to withstand the full-force strike of a Titled Douluo.

Her body was covered in armor like emerald ice crystals, every scale shimmering with the luster of diamonds. Her six slender legs stepped steadily upon the ice plains, and her five-segmented tail hook flashed with a cold, frigid light; with every swing, it could cause the surrounding ice layers to shatter instantly.

At that time, the Far North, though home to many powerful ice-attribute Spirit Beast clans, remained in a state of division.

The various clans fought year-round for territory, food, and ice marrow resources; the flames of war flew across the ice plains, countless weak Spirit Beasts perished in the chaos, and clans were on the verge of extinction.

Just at this moment, Ice Empress stepped forward!

She did not choose to seclude herself to Cultivate, but instead proactively stepped out of her territory and began the journey to rule the Far North.

Her methods were iron-fisted yet just; she crushed defiant clans with absolute power and coordinated the interests of all clans with fair rules: to provocateurs, she showed no mercy.

Once, a 200,000-year ice-attribute Vicious Beast coveted the ice marrow resources of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan and led its clan to invade the Ice Jade Scorpion territory.

Ice Empress went alone, her Ultimate Ice erupting instantly. With ice blades, she shattered the opponent's Spirit Avatar and trapped its entire clan in an ice prison, ultimately forcing the opponent to bow down and pledge never to invade again.

To weak clans, she granted protection.

She designated exclusive territories, provided a safe living environment for weak ice-attribute Spirit Beasts, and prohibited clans from waging war at will or seizing the resources of weaker clans.

Under her command, the chaos in the Far North gradually subsided, and the various clans began to coexist peacefully.

Integrating resources, gathering strength.

She unified the distribution of ice marrow and Cultivation resources in the Far North, allowing all clans to obtain enough resources to Cultivate, thereby raising the overall strength of the entire Far North Spirit Beast population.

Under Ice Empress's iron-fisted rule, the Far North ushered in a century of stability.

The clans no longer fought each other for survival, but instead jointly guarded this ice plain; the number of ice-attribute Spirit Beasts on the ice plains increased day by day, and the clans became increasingly prosperous.

And Ice Empress, relying on her powerful strength and fair rules, became the recognized co-ruler of the ten thousand races of the Far North, revered as the "Ice Plain Queen."

To better rule the Far North, three of the most powerful Vicious Beasts were selected from the various clans and titled the three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North to rule over the ten thousand races of the Far North. They were:

Snow Empress: Ice Heaven Snow Woman, 700,000 years of Cultivation, head of the three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, condensed from the ultimate cold Qi of heaven and earth, controlling the power of heaven and earth's ice and snow. She is the true Dominator of the Far North and Ice Empress's most trusted sister.

Ice Empress: Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, 400,000 years of Cultivation, second of the three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, holding authority over Ultimate Ice, ruling the Ice Jade Scorpion clan; she is the co-ruler of the Far North.

Titan Snow Demon King: 205,000+ years of Cultivation, third of the three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, over fifty meters in size, with terrifying Physical Body strength. He is the most terrifying physical hegemon of the Far North, responsible for guarding the outer perimeter of the Far North.
