At the far north, there is not solid permafrost, but a vast, ancient, frozen ocean.
The sea here is not azure, but a deep, inky blue with a dark, almost black sheen.
The massive icebergs float like silent giant ships, and the rugged ice cliffs and coastline meander and stretch to the horizon where they meet the gray-white sky.
The air was filled with a biting chill, a damp, salty, and oppressive atmosphere that was even more intense than the dry, cold air of the far north's core.
The sound of the waves seemed frozen, dull and oppressive.
This is the forbidden zone of life, the paradise of soul beasts—the far north ice sea.
Two figures broke through the biting wind and landed on the shore of this icy sea.
It was Jiang Zhen and Bing Di .
"This is it."
Bing Di 's emerald eyes swept across the still yet turbulent dark blue sea, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of disgust.
"It's cold and damp, what an unpleasant environment. The Sea Princess clan lives deep in this sea."
Jiang Zhen gazed into the distance, his spiritual power like invisible tentacles, attempting to spread into the depths of the icy sea.
However, this ocean seems to have a unique barrier. The seawater contains a strange energy that greatly hinders the depth of spiritual exploration. One can only vaguely sense countless life forms, some strong and some weak, swimming in the deep sea.
"Let's go, let's finish this quickly and get out of this awful place."
Bing Di said somewhat impatiently, as she instinctively disliked this kind of aquatic environment.
The two moved swiftly, not diving directly into the water, but flying low close to the cold sea surface, releasing their powerful auras without any concealment, like two giant stones thrown into a calm lake.
Sure enough, not long after they started flying, the seawater below suddenly began to surge violently!
"Splash!"
Several enormous, pitch-black tentacles covered with suckers and bone spurs suddenly tore through the sea surface, coiling around the two people in the air like giant pythons, carrying a nauseating fishy smell and a chilling killing intent.
At the same time, dozens of silvery-white shadows shot out from the seawater to the side with lightning speed. They were strange fish with mouths like sharp ice blades. They tore through the air and made a "whoosh" sound as they shot towards us!
They are guardian spirit beasts on the outer perimeter of the icy sea!
They sensed the intruders' power and hostility and launched an attack!
"You're courting death!" Bing Di snorted coldly, without even needing Jiang Zhen to make a move.
She simply stood in mid-air, the emerald green scorpion tail phantom behind her swaying casually!
A beam of emerald light, condensed to its fullest extent, swept out!
Snap! Snap!
The tentacles, harder than refined iron, were frozen and brittle by the absolute zero cold the moment they came into contact with the azure light. They then broke apart like icicles, crashing back to the sea and shattering into countless ice shards!
The ice-blade fish that shot towards them were instantly frozen in mid-air by the spreading extreme cold, remaining in their forward-rushing posture, and then fell into the sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot, with no life left!
Clear the area instantly!
Bing Di didn't even bother to look at the results, as if they had just swatted a few flies.
"These small fry are endless."
Jiang Zhen's gaze narrowed slightly. He could sense that the power contained in the Bing Di 's casual strike had increased again, and the benefits of devouring the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm were clearly still being digested.
The two continued deeper into the sea, encountering several more waves of different sea spirit beasts along the way, including giant conch shells that could shoot high-pressure ice spikes, and deep-sea ice spiders that could weave icy spiderweb-like spirit skills...
However, these sea spirit beasts, some tens of thousands of years old or even less than one hundred thousand years old, were utterly powerless against the two evil stars.
Bing Di often creates a path with a casual strike, either freezing or tearing something apart.
Their forceful intrusion was like throwing a red-hot iron into calm deep water, completely alarming the true master of this icy sea.
The deeper you go, the dimmer the light becomes, the deeper the color of the seawater, and the greater the pressure suddenly becomes.
Giant and dazzling ice coral reefs began to appear around us, interspersed with some luminous deep-sea plants, creating a beautiful yet deadly scene.
Finally, the outline of an enormous palace complex, constructed from natural millennia-old ice and giant luminous corals, faintly appeared in the distant deep sea.
An incomparably powerful aura, carrying both majestic majesty and icy rage, erupted from the depths of the palace like a tsunami, instantly locking onto the two of them!
"Outsiders! Halt!"
A clear, aloof, yet undeniably powerful female voice pierced through the seawater and resounded directly in the minds of Jiang Zhen and Bing Di !
The next moment, from the core of the palace complex ahead, a dazzling ice-blue light shot into the sky, pushing aside tens of thousands of tons of seawater and approaching at an astonishing speed!
The light faded, revealing the figure of the one who had appeared.
She was a woman whose beauty defies description.
She possessed the perfect upper body of a human woman, with skin as white as the purest ice and snow, and long hair that seemed to blend the deepest sea blue with the brightest ice crystals, shimmering with starlight as the ocean currents surged.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet it carried an icy coldness and aloofness. In her pure ice-blue eyes, deep within her pupils, it seemed as if waves and ice crystals were slowly rotating, currently containing vigilance and scrutiny.
Her lower body was not legs, but a huge, magnificent fish tail covered with silver scales! The scales reflected a cold and hard metallic luster in the dim light of the deep sea, and with a gentle sway, they could stir up dark currents containing countless ice crystals.
At the end of the fish's tail is a sea-blue tail fin that is as light as gauze yet exudes a powerful energy fluctuation.
She wore a light blue, transparent armor made of coral unique to the icy sea and millennia-old ice, covering the key areas of her shoulders, neck, and arms. It was both magnificent and exuded a powerful defensive energy.
She floated in the seawater, her body naturally radiating the vast power of the ocean and extreme cold, as if she were the master and embodiment of this icy sea.
It is the master of this far northern icy sea, a 600,000-year-old soul beast—the Sea Princess!
Her icy gaze swept over the Bing Di , lingering for a moment on the ferocious aura belonging to the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. A hint of surprise and confusion flashed across her face, as if she were wondering why the overlord of the Far North would intrude into her domain.
Immediately, her gaze was fixed on Jiang Zhen. Especially after sensing Jiang Zhen's unfathomable soul power and a strange aura, the vigilance in her icy blue eyes instantly rose to the extreme!
Why does a human being possess such complex and terrifying power?
He even traveled with the Northern Heavenly King and forcibly broke into her Ice Sea King's Palace?
"Humans, and Bing Di ?"
The Sea Princess's voice was like colliding ice crystals, clear yet chilling: "Why have you trespassed into my territory and slaughtered my people? If you do not give me a satisfactory explanation, you will all remain at the bottom of this icy sea today!"
A powerful aura of her domain spread out with her words, the temperature of the surrounding seawater plummeted as if it were about to freeze completely, and countless ice shards condensed around her, poised to strike.
