Chapter 109 Evaluation
[Evaluation: One of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the supreme emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Born from the very source of the Far North ice, he controls the purest, ultimate ice, its cold capable of freezing souls and freezing time and space. He is domineering and aloof, regarding the Far North as his absolute private property, not allowing any outsiders to trespass. His will is as firm as ten-thousand-year-old icy ice; in pursuit of a higher realm and the continuation of his race, he willingly risks everything to attempt interspecies cultivation, his courage and decisiveness unparalleled in the Far North. He possesses absolute loyalty and trust in his only acknowledged friend, the Snow Emperor, transcending race and self-interest.]
[Reward 1: The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion bloodline undergoes ultimate sublimation, returning to the ancestral 'Primordial Ice Soul Divine Scorpion' bloodline. Bloodline purity increases to ninety percent, life level leaps, potential ceiling breaks through the million-year barrier.] The physical body undergoes a comprehensive qualitative leap in strength, power, speed, defense, and affinity for ice. Each carapace contains patterns of the 'Absolute Zero' law, spontaneously resisting most energy attacks below the god level. The scorpion's tail, 'Ice Emperor's Sting,' evolves into 'Eternal Silence', containing the characteristic of 'time-space freezing,' causing the victim's body, soul, and mind to fall into a near-eternal state of stillness.
[Reward Two: Obtain the 'Absolute Zero Domain.' Normally, its radius is fifty miles; at full power, it can expand to three hundred miles! Within the domain, the temperature remains constant at the edge of absolute zero (theoretical minimum temperature). Except for the ice attribute law, all other attribute laws are suppressed to their limits, the spatial structure tends to solidify, and the flow of time slows down by fifty to ninety percent. Within the domain, one can freely create large-scale destructive celestial phenomena such as 'Ice Strike Storm,' 'Eternal Ice Coffin,' and 'Frosty Star Ring'; one can summon the 'Ice Soul Scorpion Avatar,' briefly possessing some of the authority and power of a first-level deity (Ice God), freezing time and space, and sealing the kingdom.]
[Reward Three: Obtain the 'Ice Soul Divine Core' (already fused). This is a condensation of the broken divine essence of the ancient Ice God and the essence of billions of years of cold air from the far north ice plains. After fusion, spiritual power undergoes a qualitative change, condensing into the 'Ice Soul Divine Soul,' with divine sense strength comparable to a demigod. It can freeze a thousand miles with a single thought and perceive all things in frost-covered lands. At the same time, the core will continuously absorb the primordial cold air of the far north, transforming it into the purest 'Primordial Ice Soul Divine Power,' laying an unparalleled divine foundation for breaking through to the million-year divine beast realm. Gain the talent 'Ice Soul Divine Eye,' which can see through illusions and directly perceive the origin, possessing extremely strong insight into all concealment, illusions, and spatial folding, increasing the speed of cultivating ice-type laws by a hundredfold.]
Silence.
This time, the entire Douluo Continent plane fell into a deathly silence.
Not shock, not horror, but a kind of instinctive fear and suffocation arising from the face of a higher level of existence!
"470,000 years?! A ferocious beast?!"
"Comparable to a level 98 peak Douluo in humans?!"
"The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion! One of the rulers of the Far North!"
Countless human soul masters, nobles, and emperors were stunned into silence.
If the previous appearances of Zi Ji, Hu Liena, and Meng Hongchen on the list were shocking, they were still powerful beings within the categories of "soul beasts" and "soul masters," beings that human cognition could barely comprehend or even record.
But what appeared on the list now was a truly ancient ferocious beast standing at the pinnacle of soul beasts, ruling the entire Far North, and having survived for nearly 500,000 years!
What is the concept of a level 98 peak Douluo?
That is the theoretical pinnacle that human soul masters can reach, second only to the legendary "gods"! On the entire continent, the known beings of this level are extremely rare!
And such a being is actually a soul beast! Moreover, the rewards they received...
"Primordial Ice Soul Scorpion Bloodline? Breaking through a million-year shackle?!"
"Absolute Zero Domain? Radius of three hundred miles?! Freezing spacetime? Suppressing all other laws?!"
"Ice Soul Divine Soul Core? Formed from the shattered divine spark of the ancient Ice God? Divine consciousness comparable to a demigod?!"
"This, this is no longer a reward... this is simply... creating a god!"
Countless ancient texts were frantically searched, countless reclusive powerhouses were awakened, and the highest levels of countless forces held emergency meetings in trembling.
Soul beasts have ascended to the Goddess Ranking! And upon entering the ranking, they are such terrifying beings!
The signal this sends is stronger and more deadly than ever before!
This means that the selection scope of this mysterious ranking has long exceeded the human realm! Soul beasts are also on the list! Moreover, judging from the ranking and rewards, it seems that it treats soul beasts and humans... without favoritism!
Even more terrifying is that the ranking directly points out the Ice Emperor's "territory"—the core circle of the far north, the absolute zero forbidden zone.
What does this mean? It means that one of the largest sources of spirit rings for human spirit masters, one of the most dangerous and mysterious forbidden zones, and one of its highest rulers has received such a terrifying upgrade!
From now on, who would dare to easily set foot in the Far North? Who would dare to covet the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan?
The already fragile and bloody barrier between humans and spirit beasts has been brutally pierced by this ranking!
The Far North, the core of the Absolute Zero Forbidden Zone.
Here there is no sky, no earth, only an eternal, almost frozen green expanse.
The temperature is unbelievably low; even space is frozen with fine black cracks, which slowly heal in the extreme cold. This is a death trap for life, but the ultimate holy land for ice-attribute creatures.
In the heart of this verdant landscape, a majestic palace, entirely composed of "eternal ice crystals," stands silently.
Upon the palace throne, a woman slowly opens her eyes.
She appears to be a human girl, about 1.65 meters tall, petite and delicate. Her face is exquisitely beautiful, almost ethereal, her skin so white it's almost translucent, faintly glowing with a warm, jade-like luster.
Her long, emerald-green hair, like the finest ice silk, flows smoothly down her back, the ends moving without wind, scattering glittering specks of ice dust.
She wears a simple emerald-green dress, its style ancient and unadorned, yet seemingly blending seamlessly into the entire far north.
Most strikingly... What struck her were her eyes—a pair of emerald green eyes, like an ancient, icy pool, clear, cold, and deep. Within her pupils seemed to be countless ice crystals flickering and dying, reflecting the very laws governing the icy world.
She was the Ice Emperor, the human form of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
At this moment, she was awakening from a ten-year-long deep slumber. This slumber was part of her preparation to adjust her condition and attempt the perilous path of rebuilding.
However, before she could fully process her thoughts, a terrifying ice-attribute energy, vast beyond description and pure beyond imagination, ignored the layers of spatial sealing and legal barriers of the absolute zero forbidden zone, directly pouring into her body!
"Hmm?"
For the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared in the Ice Emperor's emerald green eyes.
