Chapter 446 Snow Empress: Zero Yuan Purchase~
The night was cool and still, the moon hidden and the stars few.

Inside a heavily guarded, massive underground warehouse, Xue Di stood silently like a ghost.

Her gaze swept indifferently over the surroundings. The space here was so vast that it seemed to stretch to the horizon, probably nearly ten thousand square meters in size.

Heavy metal crates were stacked in different areas according to a certain pattern, and the air was filled with a rich and pure metallic smell.

Even with just a cursory investigation, one can sense that the rare metals stored here amount to at least tens of thousands of tons.

With a slight movement of her divine sense, Xue Di was able to identify as many as thirty-two kinds of rare metals stored here. Although not every one of these metals was a rare and top-tier treasure, their terrifying reserves were enough to be described as "rich enough to rival a country".

The warehouse was filled with all sorts of traps and mechanisms, from automatically triggered soul-guided rays to poisoned arrows; almost every one of them posed a deadly threat.

However, all of this was nothing more than child's play to the Snow Empress, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, and she didn't even glance at it.

She moved gracefully and lightly into the depths of the warehouse. The traps and mechanisms that would make any intruder's scalp tingle were useless to her. Even the vast amount of rare metals could not keep her there for more than a moment.

After walking about a hundred meters from the entrance, Xue Di turned and headed to the left passage. After several twists and turns, she finally found the second door behind a mountain of metal boxes.

This door appears particularly heavy, and its keyhole has a peculiar five-pronged structure. To open this door, one must possess five specially made keys simultaneously.

Xue Di's cold gaze lingered on the keyhole for a moment, her powerful soul force probing into it like an invisible tentacle.

The next moment, she stretched out her slender hand, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed, transforming into five crystal keys, sparkling with a faint, cold light, in her palm.
The shape of the five keys perfectly matches the five-pronged keyhole, without the slightest discrepancy.

It's not off but it's on?
"Click."

With a slight whirring of mechanisms, the alloy gate, over a meter thick and forged from seven or eight kinds of hard metals, slowly opened inward. Above the gate were multiple layers of complex soul-guided protective barriers, shimmering with dangerous energy fluctuations.

If it were an ordinary Soul Master, even an eight-ring Soul Douluo level expert, trying to forcefully break through this defense would likely require an immense amount of effort. Moreover, if a forceful attack were to be launched against the gate, the resulting violent tremors would immediately trigger the chain of Soul Guidance Alarm devices within the warehouse.

The Snow Empress was naturally unwilling to do so. Her plan had only just begun, and it would be unwise to alert powerful figures from the outside world.

Just as the gate opened, inside the second-floor warehouse, a middle-aged man dressed as a guard, whose cultivation had reached the Soul Saint realm, happened to be patrolling.

He was taken aback at first, then saw that the alloy door, which should have been tightly closed, had opened by itself, and standing behind the door was a stunningly beautiful woman who was otherworldly in beauty, yet exuded an extremely cold aura.

"Who are you...?"

The Soul Saint guard's expression changed drastically. He was about to question her and activate the alarm on his soul-guided device when he found his voice frozen in his throat. An extreme chill instantly invaded his entire body. Before he could even see the Snow Emperor's movements, his entire body, along with the horrified expression on his face, suddenly transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture, standing silently in place.

Having overcome this minor obstacle, Xue Di stepped into the second-floor warehouse. The soul tool defense system here was even more stringent than the outer layer, with infrared scanning, gravity sensing, and soul power fluctuation detection providing almost complete coverage. Furthermore, the rare metals stored here numbered over thirty different kinds, each far more valuable than those found on the first floor, and all being core materials for manufacturing advanced soul tools.

Whether it's forged silver, meteorite iron, or wild gold, they are all top-tier materials for crafting level nine soul tools.

Upon reaching this point, the Snow Empress paused slightly. With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, a soul tool radiating spatial fluctuations appeared in her palm. She began to slowly and methodically collect the precious rare metals into it, her movements elegant, like a fairy gathering morning dew.

Whenever a hidden alarm soul tool is about to be triggered, its internal soul power circuit will be instantly frozen by the extreme cold released by the Snow Empress, rendering it completely ineffective.

Having followed Lin You for a long time, Xue Di had gradually come to know the principles and structure of soul tools through observation and exposure.

After looting all the rare metals in the second-floor warehouse, Xue Di did not linger. Following the path she had already explored with her divine sense, she easily entered the passage leading to the third floor.

The light inside the third floor was much dimmer than that of the first two floors. Only a few softly glowing soul-guiding lamps embedded in the walls could barely dispel the darkness.

A stronger, heavier metallic aura wafted over, mixed with a chilling sense of menace.

This place is a massive, standard-issue military depot, more than ten times larger than the first-floor warehouse.

At the very front of the line of sight stood rows of rather large Level 4 Soul Guidance Cannons. These cannons were renowned for their high rate of fire, accuracy, and effective range exceeding 500 meters, making them the backbone of firepower on the battlefield. Due to their size and weight limitations, each cannon was equipped with wheels for easy towing and movement.

According to Xue Di's judgment, a well-trained level four soul master can fire more than thirty shots continuously without the replenishment of soul power from a "milk bottle".

Within this underground warehouse, there are at least a thousand of these Level 4 Soul Guidance Cannons. This is only the outermost, seemingly "weakest" type, a cluster resembling some kind of self-propelled artillery.

Xue Di's cold gaze swept calmly across this "jungle" made of steel. Crates of perfectly sealed soul-guided ray guns and rows of neatly stacked fixed-mount soul-guided shells—weapons that would make any army drool—did not stir the slightest emotion in her eyes.

She walked straight to the deepest part of the warehouse, where a secluded room was hidden from outsiders.

Pushing open the heavy metal door, which was also covered with soul-guiding arrays, the scene inside the room came into view. Unlike the mountains of conventional weapons piled up outside, this room contained only one thing.

A huge shell lying quietly on a specially made metal support.

This cannonball was a deep, dark gold color, its surface engraved with intricate and mysterious soul-guiding array patterns, radiating a terrifying energy fluctuation that sent chills down one's spine. Its size far exceeded any cannonball the Snow Empress had ever seen before.
