Chapter 195: Ice Sky Snow Maiden Embryo
Far North
The Ice Empress stared at the heavenly curtain where the Snow Empress's phantom and the word "Seventh" hovered; the schadenfreude on her face froze.
Jade-green eyes brimmed with disbelief.
"Seventh?"
Her voice cracked with shock.
"Snow Empress… your Ice Sky Snow Maiden Bloodline only ranks seventh? How is that possible!"
She whipped her head toward the Snow Empress.
Yet the Snow Empress's exquisite face showed none of the disappointment or rage she had expected.
Instead, an uncanny calm lingered—almost a trace of joy.
The Snow Empress's ice-blue eyes fixed on the heavenly curtain.
Her gaze lingered on the reward of a kinsman's embryo, unmoving.
The heart she had frozen in solitude for hundreds of thousands of years now rippled with an unfamiliar tide.
"Bing'er."
The Snow Empress spoke softly, her voice still cold yet warmer than before.
"Seventh place—this result is fair."
"Fair?"
The Ice Empress nearly jumped.
"Snow Empress, you're a spirit of ice and snow born from heaven and earth, bearer of the complete Ice and Snow Law; in the Far North you are invincible!"
"How can it be…"
"Precisely because I am only near-invincible within the Far North, I am seventh."
The Snow Empress cut her off calmly.
"The heavenly curtain is right. My Bloodline relies too heavily on the environment; it cannot roam the continent like a true Divinity Bloodline, and it cannot reproduce—it is unique.
"On the bloodline inheritance ranking, those are fatal flaws."
She paused, understanding flickering in her ice-blue eyes: "In some respects, my Bloodline is indeed inferior to true Divine Rank Bloodlines, even to certain top Soul Beast Bloodlines with evolutionary potential."
The Ice Empress was stunned; she had never heard the Snow Empress analyze herself so rationally.
But on reflection, the heavenly curtain's reasoning was irrefutable.
"Still…"
The Ice Empress remained unwilling.
"Even the Acquired-evolved Deep Sea Demon Whale King ranks eighth; you, a congenital creation of heaven and earth, are only one place higher!"
Just then, two gentle yet mighty energies descended into the Snow Empress.
One coalesced into a crystal scepter tipped with a sapphire, radiating extreme cold—the extreme cold divine scepter—hovering before her.
The other became a fist-sized, snow-whirling, ice-blue crystal that fell into her palm: the Ice Sky Snow Maiden embryo.
The Snow Empress grasped the extreme cold divine scepter, and a sensation of shared blood surged—as though the Divine Artifact were part of her body.
With a casual wave, the temperature plummeted; even space seemed to freeze.
She then turned to the embryo in her palm; for the first time in hundreds of millennia, her icy eyes held something close to tenderness.
"A kinsman…"
she murmured.
Pressing the embryo gently to her chest, she nurtured it with her purest ice-and-snow energy.
"From this day on, I am no longer alone."
Watching this, the Ice Empress's resentment faded.
She stepped forward and clasped the Snow Empress's hand. "Snow Empress, congratulations."
The Snow Empress looked back, warmth flickering in her ice-blue eyes. "Thank you, Bing'er."
"The rewards are indeed generous."
Sensing the changes within, she continued:
"With these, even outside the Far North my battle strength will not fall too far, and…"
She gazed at the embryo. "With a kinsman, the Ice Sky Snow Maiden Bloodline may cease to be unique and instead become a Legacy."
…Big Dipper Academy.
Lu Xiao stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the Snow Empress's phantom, brows slightly knit.
"The Ice Sky Snow Maiden Bloodline only ranks seventh?"
he murmured, surprise and contemplation in his tone.
"In my original estimation, a congenital elemental spirit born of heaven and earth, bearing a complete single Law, should rival ordinary Divine Rank Bloodlines—at least top five."
"The heavenly curtain's criteria are stricter than I thought."
"Though strong, the Ice Sky Snow Maiden Bloodline is limited by environment and uniqueness."
His mind raced through known mighty Bloodlines: Silver Dragon King, Angel God, Sea God, Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Evil Eye Tyrant, Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear… "Four have been revealed."
He tallied swiftly: "Among the remaining six, Angel God and Sea God will take two seats.
Di Tian's Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King should enter; Silver Dragon King will rank high…"
He paused, puzzled.
"Yet that still leaves only four; what could the other two be?"
His anticipation for the heavenly curtain's ranking peaked.
Rumble!
Above the heavenly curtain, the light's rotation suddenly accelerated.
The gentle, holy ice-blue glow had not yet faded when a completely different, savage, evil, and annihilatory energy surged skyward, converging on the sixth seat.
The light writhed, twisted, condensed—
finally shaping a lithe, ink-black feline form with jagged bone wings and a scorpion-hook tail.
Though smaller than previous phantoms, the tiger's aura felt more dangerous, more sinister.
Dark-purple Evil Qi and blood-red Evil Qi swirled around it; its scarlet eyes brimmed with endless cruelty and ruin.
A mere glance from its phantom made Souls tremble.
Worst of all, behind it loomed a far larger, hazy, ominous demonic god.
The majestic voice of the heavenly curtain resounded:
[Douluo Continent bloodline inheritance ranking, sixth place: Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger Bloodline (Evil God Legacy)].
[Bloodline Origin]: A native Soul Beast Bloodline of Douluo Continent; a wisp of the Evil God's Origin Evil Qi fell and fused with the ancient top-tier tiger "Dark Demon Tiger," mutating into a forbidden Evil God Bloodline. It carries fragments of multiple Laws—evil, time, space—and is the continent's most growth-oriented, dangerous, and uncontrollable forbidden Bloodline.
[Current Notable Inheritor: Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger (Big Dipper Academy's guardian Soul Beast, 180,000 years cultivation, subdued and purified by Headmaster Lu Xiao; the Evil God will has been suppressed and its potential fully developed, actual battle strength comparable to a 300,000-year Ferocious beast).
[Ranking Reason: Bloodline Origin involves an Evil God; growth and evolutionary potential are unmatched, danger extreme. However, Big Dipper Academy has subdued and purified it via special means; the Evil God will is suppressed and its potential correctly guided, drastically reducing danger and instability. Comprehensively judged, it ranks sixth.
