Chapter 169 The Madness of the Northern Beasts
After Huo Yuhao and the Beast Kings returned to the far north, the Snow Empress had already gathered all the far northern soul beasts in the core area.
Long howls echoed and overlapped here, eventually converging into a deafening and terrifying sound wave that shook the heavens.
The Snow Emperor stood high in the sky, her snow-white hair dancing wildly in the wind, her dress fluttering in the breeze.
Her eyes were filled with suppressed rage: "All soul beasts in the far north that are over ten thousand years old, cease fighting amongst yourselves immediately."
"From this day forward, the far north is on full alert!"
"All soul beasts, organized by their respective clans, gather around the perimeter of the core area!"
The Snow Empress's voice pierced through the wind and snow, clearly reaching the ears of every soul beast.
"All soul beasts under ten thousand years old have retreated to the far north core, to be guarded by the Ice Bear King!"
"All soul beasts aged ten thousand years or more shall, from this moment forward, obey the commands of the Titan Snow Demon King!"
"The Sun and Moon Empire dares to invade my far north; one day they will pay with their blood! It will be a fight to the death!"
All the beasts roared in unison, unleashing an overwhelming ferocity.
The Snow Demon shattered the icy plains, the Ice Bear pounded its chest to the sky, and the Ice Jade's tail hooks coalesced into a magnificent river of aurora.
Hyotei manifested from the Niwan Palace.
As she looked down at the roaring beasts of the far north, tears welled up in her eyes for the first time in many years.
These tears are not tears of weakness, but the boiling blood of Hyotei.
This is the far north, the frozen territory that the Ice Emperor has patrolled for countless years.
Hyotei was born here, grew up here, and even "died" here.
Her icy blue imperial scorpion shell was formed from the ice here, and her stinger absorbed the essence of this place.
Two emerald-green crystals landed on the ground, and the figure of the Ice Emperor slowly descended in front of the beasts of the far north.
She faced the far north core, slowly and deeply bending down, her forehead gently touching the permafrost that had remained frozen for millennia.
This is the oldest and most solemn etiquette unique to the far north.
All the beasts ceased their howls and, following the Ice Emperor's movements, slowly bowed towards the far north core.
"My soul is given to the far north!"
Hyotei, tears streaming down his face, declared: "A blood debt must be repaid in blood!"
Huo Yuhao and Electrolux looked at each other in silence.
Then, they all raised their hands in a gesture, and their spiritual energy surged forth like a tide.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual eye talisman emitted points of clear and subtle light, and the eye of his mind on his forehead suddenly opened wide.
Electrox held a scepter, with the gold of life swirling around him, providing a constant source of magical support.
They made a series of extremely complex hand gestures, finally pointing their fingers together like a sword at the kneeling Hyotei.
A shower of greyish-gold light fell from the sky, and swathes of dazzling runes emerged from their fingers, swirling around the Ice Emperor.
Hyotei's figure slowly rose into the air, her arms outstretched, allowing her body to gradually become ethereal.
The wind and snow in the far north stopped, and all the soul beasts held their breath, witnessing the most ferocious king of the far north facing death and living on.
"The origin is restored, the spirit is reshaped!"
Huo Yuhao shouted, and a dazzling beam of emerald green light suddenly emerged from his left arm!
Even though the Ice Emperor had said she would leave the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's essence to him, Huo Yuhao still chose to return the essence to the Ice Emperor.
A beam of emerald light condensed at Huo Yuhao's fingertip into the shape of Ice Jade. However, just as this rune, symbolizing the origin of the Ice Emperor, was about to burst forth, the Ice King suddenly stopped Huo Yuhao.
"The past has been stripped away."
The Ice King looked at Huo Yuhao's Eye of the Mind: "Then let it accompany you to witness the rebirth of the Ice Emperor."
Huo Yuhao thoughtfully withdrew the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's essence. He slowly closed his spiritual eyes and looked down at the beasts of the far north with his mind's eye.
The Ice King arrived before the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, raised his scorpion pincers, and proclaimed in a booming voice, "The Ice Jade Clan, assist the Ice Emperor in transforming into a demon!"
With a chorus of hisses, in an instant, the stingers of hundreds of Ice Jade Scorpions glowed with bloody light!
Streams of blood, each carrying a chilling aura, converged into a turquoise river of light, surging toward the figure of the Ice Emperor!
In a flash of inspiration, every soul beast present, even those with ten years of cultivation, forced out a drop of essence blood from their own bodies!
The essence of all beasts converged, guided by their respective clans, surging towards the Ice Emperor like countless rivers flowing into the sea!
Xue Di's originally sky-blue eyes suddenly revealed a dazzling aurora color.
She reached out and swept her hand around, and a petal as cold as ice crystals and a crystal-clear lotus seed fell from the 100,000-year-old snow lotus.
They intertwined, transforming into a stream of light brimming with life, which merged into Hyotei's body.
The aura of the far north surged and emanated from the Snow Emperor, enveloping the Ice Emperor's figure.
The lotus seed is the heart, the animal blood transforms into flesh, the petals form the network, and the vital energy condenses into the bones.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, at this moment, the mental threads of all the beasts in the far north were converging on the Ice Emperor.
Blood Sacrifice of Ten Thousand Beasts, Demon Emperor of the Far North!
If the Snow Empress represents the destiny of the far north, and Tianmeng represents the power of the far north, then the Ice Empress at this moment represents the soul of the far north!
Electrolux slammed his scepter down heavily: "Souls and spirits, demons have appeared!"
The gray-gold runes, like chains, slowly wrapped around the blood-red light filling the sky, weaving into a giant, chaotic cocoon in the far north.
The shadows of countless beasts emerged from the cocoon: a snow demon throwing a punch, an ice bear stomping the ground, and a jade scorpion pouncing.
The essence of all beasts, like a boiling furnace, emitted a deafening roar within the cocoon.
Finally, the giant, chaotic cocoon slowly landed, gently pulsating with life beside the snow lotus.
Huo Yuhao closed his Mind's Eye: "Senior Ice Emperor's transformation into a demon this time will take at least a few months and at most a year to take shape."
"Once we enter the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm, I will sever the connection between Senior Ice Emperor and me. From now on, she will belong only to the far north."
Snow Empress conjured an ice and snow token in her palm and then handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao," the Snow Emperor said, "this is the Extreme North Ice and Snow Token. After you return, give it to the Heavenly Soul Emperor and let him use the Heavenly Soul's unique methods to leave a mark on the token."
"From now on, if ice-attribute soul masters of the Heavenly Soul Empire want to hunt souls, they need to hold an Ice and Snow Token, form a group of at least ten people, be guided by the extreme northern soul beasts to the Ice Sea, and hunt down Tang San's lackeys there."
"From this moment forward, on behalf of the Far North, I formally extend an invitation to the Heavenly Soul Empire to form an alliance."
Huo Yuhao accepted the token and solemnly replied, "Senior Snow Empress, rest assured, I will definitely convey this message."
Xue Di nodded: "Of course I trust you."
"Alright, now that the matter of the Ice Emperor has been resolved, you and Elder Yi can rest for a while and then begin preparing to refine the puppet body. With Elder Yi by your side, although I will still visit Heaven Dou City, I will definitely not go as frequently."
"The trip to Sunset Forest that follows will be the last time I spend with you for some time to come."
"As for Di Tian, you should discuss it with Tian Meng before deciding whether to reveal the truth to Di Tian."
"I don't know what misunderstanding Di Tian has about you, but his attitude towards you is very unusual."
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment: "I understand. I will handle things carefully with Di Tian."
The problem facing Di Tian now involves not only the Star Dou Great Forest, but also the Demon Emperor who resides in the Lake of Life.
The Snow Emperor said, "You don't need to worry too much, just keep moving forward."
"Both my ice blades and those of Hyotei will pave the way for you."
Huo Yuhao bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, senior."
