Chapter 177 - Chapter 177

Ice Bear King Xiao Bai retreated at the command, his massive frame kicking up a gust of biting cold wind at the entrance of the Ice and Snow Great Hall. Before long, a silver-white figure stepped into the hall.It was none other than the Ice Extreme Fox King, who possessed a Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast cultivation.The Ice Extreme Fox King slowly walked into the hall, five large fox tails swaying gently behind it. Each tail displayed a different layer of silver-white, looking like moonlight condensed into substance."Lady Ice Empress, Lady Snow Empress." The Ice Extreme Fox King lowered its head slightly, bowing to the two rulers of the Extreme North. Its gaze inadvertently swept over Ao Yao standing to the side, a flash of surprise crossing its eyes, though it was quickly suppressed.Although it had just been injured by a human not long ago, since this human could appear in the Ice and Snow Great Hall, he clearly had a deep relationship with the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, so it naturally wouldn't have any excessive reaction.Noticing the five fox tails swaying behind the Ice Extreme Fox King, the Snow Empress's eyes froze slightly. "Xiao Yin, your tails..."Hearing this, the Ice Extreme Fox King fell silent for a moment, its five fox tails drawing in slightly as if it were organizing its words. Then, it spoke in a low voice, "This is exactly what I wish to report."The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress glanced at each other and both nodded, signaling the Ice Extreme Fox King to continue.A look of reminiscence flashed in the Ice Extreme Fox King's eyes. "About five years ago, I accidentally discovered an Extreme Pool in the deepest part of the Extreme North Land. That Extreme Pool was hidden beneath a fissure in a ten-thousand-year glacier. If I hadn't been chasing a wounded snow rabbit at the time, I never would have stumbled into it.""Extreme Pool?" The Ice Empress's brow furrowed slightly. "There's such a place in the Extreme North Land?""Yes, Lady Ice Empress." The Ice Extreme Fox King's voice became respectful. "That Extreme Pool isn't large, only about ten zhang in radius, but the pool water is extremely cold. Even I was nearly frozen stiff when I first entered. However, the water is incredibly mysterious; I was soon immersed in it.""The pool water itself is very mysterious, as if it contains the purest essence of heaven and earth. There was even a large amount of ten thousand year profound ice marrow within the water. It was in this pool that I condensed and evolved five fox tails."The Ice Empress couldn't help but ponder, "For such a place to exist in the Extreme North Land... Xue'er and I have lived on this land for hundreds of thousands of years, yet we've never heard of any Extreme Pool.""You certainly have good luck.""This pool water... doesn't seem naturally formed; instead, it feels more like it was influenced by some kind of power. I feel that the Extreme Pool might be related to the eternal frost scepter that Lady Ice Empress is searching for."The Snow Empress took a deep breath, a hint of solemnity appearing on her exquisite face. "Where is the Extreme Pool?""Replying to Lady Snow Empress, it is beneath that ten-thousand-year ice ridge on the north side of the Extreme North Core Area, only half a day's journey from here," the Ice Extreme Fox King answered truthfully.The Ice Empress's expression immediately became excited.Since it concerned her Ice God's First Trial, it was difficult for her to remain calm.However, the Snow Empress was not impatient. She stared intently at the Ice Extreme Fox King, an inquisitive glint flashing in her eyes. "You... have other things you haven't said, right?"The Ice Extreme Fox King took a deep breath, appearing somewhat hesitant to speak.For a dignified Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast to be injured by a mere human—if word got out, it would probably be laughed at until its teeth fell out!But... the Ice Extreme Fox King had to admit that the damned human was indeed a bit strange. Relying on itself alone, it probably really couldn't get revenge. Only by borrowing the power of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress could it avenge its grievance and make that damned human pay the price!"The second matter is about a human." The Ice Extreme Fox King's voice carried undisguised hatred, even sounding like it was speaking through gritted teeth. "Just recently, a weak human suddenly intruded into the area where the Extreme Pool is located, disturbing my cultivation.""Just as I planned to drive him away, he suddenly erupted with a terrifying mental force, the fluctuations of which were even above mine. Under the backlash of the mental force, I had no choice but to retreat and flee.""Lady Snow Empress, Lady Ice Empress, if you wish to go to the Extreme Pool, you should probably hurry. Otherwise... that Extreme Pool might have already been explored by that human."As the words fell, the expressions of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress changed abruptly. Even Ao Yao, who had been leaning against an ice pillar nearby with little interest, couldn't help but sit up straight."A... human?""Moreover, this human could surpass a Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast in the Domain of mental force?""It's Huo Yuhao and that damned Big Worm."The Ice Empress couldn't help but grit her teeth.If she had known, she should have just killed this Huo Yuhao back then!If she had killed Huo Yuhao then, there wouldn't be this mess now!"No need to worry."Ao Yao clicked his tongue and offered a soft word of comfort, a strange light flashing in his eyes.Previously, he hadn't wanted to have too much contact with Huo Yuhao, fearing that provoking him would draw Tang San's attention and suspicion. But now... he was certain that the rewards bestowed by the diary had completely shielded him from Tang San's perception.So... was there a possibility of killing Huo Yuhao right here?This thought suddenly popped into Ao Yao's mind.When he first heard from the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress that Huo Yuhao's second spirit had become the trashiest Spirit Beast in the Extreme North Land, the Frost Velvet Ice Mite, he had almost truly believed that Huo Yuhao was finished.As it turned out, Huo Yuhao had inexplicably ended up at this Extreme Pool.And this Extreme Pool could even cause a Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast to evolve and transform.This meant that Huo Yuhao could likewise undergo a transformation in this Extreme Pool, and the Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit might even evolve along with it.Moreover, this Extreme Pool was suspected to be related to the Ice God's Divine Artifact, the eternal frost scepter, or even directly to the Ice God.Tsk... as expected of the child of destiny of the Douluo Continent.This luck is truly through the roof!Ao Yao came back to his senses and looked at the Ice Empress's slightly anxious little face, comforting her, "Don't worry. Even if the eternal frost scepter is truly in the Extreme Pool, it is absolutely impossible for Huo Yuhao to get it.""Hmm... even if he does get the eternal frost scepter, we can just snatch it back from his hands.""As for whether getting the eternal frost scepter will attract the Ice God's attention or lead to him obtaining the Ice God's Legacy or something... if I weren't here, he might actually have a bit of hope.""But... the diary book's rewards have already given the Ice God's God Position to me, and I have passed that God Position Legacy on to you. So... he is destined to never obtain the Ice God's Legacy."Hearing this, the Ice Empress immediately breathed a sigh of relief.But her eyes were still filled with killing intent directed at Huo Yuhao and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.Once she attained the Ice God's God Position, the first thing she would do is kill these two fellows!Even if Huo Yuhao had the Sea God Tang San behind him... she wouldn't fear him in the slightest!
