Chapter 121 - 122: The Ice Empress
The area and scope of the Extreme North far surpassed those of the Star Dou Great Forest. However, due to its harsh environment, the number of soul beasts within was far fewer, and they were much more scattered.
But in terms of overall strength, even if the creatures of the Star Dou Great Forest banded together, they might still not be able to overpower the soul beasts of the Extreme North.
Under these frigid conditions, the soul beasts here had special environmental advantages that made them virtually invincible.
Most importantly, the Extreme North was home to three absolute overlord-level beings, each with strength surpassing the hundred-thousand-year level, reaching the realm of true Savage Beasts.
These three were known as the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North: the Snow Empress, ranked third among the Ten Great Savage Beasts; the Ice Empress, ranked seventh; and the Titan Snow Demon King, who was not listed but possessed equally fearsome power.
Among them, the Snow Empress was a naturally born Snow Maiden, the absolute ruler of the Extreme North.
The Ice Empress was the most powerful of the Ice Jade Scorpion race—an Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. The Titan Snow Demon King, on the other hand, was the sovereign of the Titan Snow Demon clan.
Zhou Sicheng's target this time was the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion—the Ice Empress.
However, unlike Huo Yuhao from the original story, Zhou Sicheng did not intend to use the Ice Empress as his third martial soul. Instead, he aimed to obtain her soul ring to attach to his second martial soul, and her soul bone to enhance his physique and potential.
He had already discussed this with Elder Yi. If Zhou could obtain both the Ice Empress's soul ring and soul bone, his body would likely be able to withstand the third martial soul derived from Elder Yi's transformation.
Thus, this journey was a mission of great importance to Zhou Sicheng.
