Chapter 512

Long Yeyue's expression turned cold.

"As I thought, you really do have some skill, but I still have to say, you're too arrogant!"

For truly powerful soul masters, the assistance of a soul spirit can only be described as icing on the cake; their combat power often amounts to less than one-tenth of the soul master's own.

Therefore, although she can acknowledge Huo Yutong's personal strength, her pride makes it impossible for her to admit that Huo Yutong could defeat her merely by relying on a soul spirit.

After saying that, the silhouettes of a black and a white dragon appeared behind her, and she swiftly charged at Huo Yutong, throwing out a palm strike at breakneck speed.

Seeing those two figures behind her, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong both couldn't help but stare for a moment.

They are all too familiar with these two martial souls—aren't they Mu En's Holy Light Dragon and Long Xiaoyao's Dark Holy Dragon?

Could it be that Long Yeyue actually possesses both of these top-tier martial souls? No wonder she's so arrogant.

But with just her, wanting to win is still impossible.

A snowy-white figure drifted forward, blocking her path, and also threw out a palm, meeting hers head-on.

In an instant, Long Yeyue's body halted, and then, before the astonished eyes of the remaining three Limit Douluo, this formidable Limit Douluo actually turned into an ice sculpture.

The Snow Emperor's Imperial Palm, which unleashes utter cold and zero vitality, having fully restored its power, is something even Di Tian dare not meet head-on—how could Long Yeyue possibly block it?

Originally, the biggest problem with the Imperial Palm was its hit rate; this palm, due to its attack range and distance, makes it hard to strike an opponent in same-level battles, so in the Snow Emperor's past battles, figuring out how to successfully land the Imperial Palm on an enemy has always been her primary concern.

Who would have thought Long Yeyue would be so confident, facing the Snow Emperor's signature ultimate technique, not dodging at all but directly taking it head-on?

Perhaps it's because ten thousand years have passed and people have long forgotten the terror of the Ice Sky Snow Girl, ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, or perhaps it's because Long Yeyue, as a veteran Limit Douluo, is simply too arrogant; in any case, she was simply slapped out of the match by that palm.

Huo Yutong gave the remaining three Limit Douluo a charming smile.

"You might as well all come at me together; otherwise, you'll have absolutely no chance of winning."

Saying such things to three Limit Douluo is indeed extremely arrogant, yet at this moment the three individuals felt no sense of incongruity.

Long Yeyue is certainly not the strongest among them, but neither is she the weakest; as one of the older generation of Limit Douluo, her strength is only inferior to Guan Yue of the Overheaven Douluo, and she surpasses both Zang Xin and Qian Gu Dongfeng.

And since she could be turned into an ice sculpture by a single palm of the Snow Emperor, it means the Snow Emperor could do the same to those two Limit Douluo.

And this is merely one of Huo Yutong's soul spirits.

Thus Qian Gu Dong Feng nodded without hesitation.

"Understood."

He stepped forward, and a long staff appeared in his hand.

Coiling Dragon Staff? Huo Yutong looked curiously at the weapon in his hand; she had seen this Coiling Dragon Staff in Wang Yan's hand as well. Although Qian Gu Dong Feng's staff differs greatly from Wang Yan's, its foundation still reveals they share the same origin.

But unlike Wang Yan's feeble feel, the aura emanating from Qian Gu Dong Feng's Coiling Dragon Staff is astonishingly powerful, clearly a very strong martial soul.

The weapon in Guan Yue's hand is also a long-handled weapon, but unlike Qian Gu Dong Feng's, his weapon is a long spear.

Sky-Piercing Divine Spear — this is his martial soul.

Looking at the remaining three Limit Douluo, Tang Wulin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Amorous Sword, Coiling Dragon Staff, Sky-Piercing Divine Spear — is the proportion of tool martial souls in this battle a bit too high?

In his memory, ten thousand years ago there were very few top experts with tool martial souls, because tool martial souls indeed have a significant gap compared to beast martial souls that can directly enhance oneself.

Could it be that the situation is different after ten thousand years? Or perhaps it's just a coincidence that the Limit Douluo who came are all tool martial soul users, while in reality there are more beast martial soul Limit Douluo? The three Limit Douluo don't know what Tang Wulin is thinking; they now have only one thought: to defeat Huo Yutong's soul spirits.

Limit Douluo all harbor some pride; although not necessarily as intense as Long Ye Yue's, hearing Huo Yutong say they are even inferior to soul spirits, they inevitably feel a bit unconvinced.

It's only natural that they can't defeat the Spirit Ice Douluo; the problem is, surely they can't even lose to the Spirit Ice Douluo's soul spirit, right?

Seeing the opponents release their martial souls, Huo Yutong smiled at her soul spirits and said:

"Please, let them witness your prowess."

"Good."

"No problem."

"Leave it to us."

Voices of agreement rang out, and Huo Yutong's soul spirits also stepped forward.

Ice Sky Snow Girl Snow Empress, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Ice Emperor, Ice Snow Bear King Xiaobai, Mermaid Princess Li Ya, Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass, Spirit Burial Dark Soul Plum, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm — these seven soul spirits are all over 100,000 years old, and the Ice and Snow Two Emperors even possess the strength of Limit Douluo. Standing together, their terrifying pressure began to press upon the three Limit Douluo like a tsunami.

But the truly most terrifying is the last soul spirit Huo Yutong summoned — that white-haired man in white robes.

As he stepped forward, a terrifying extreme cold erupted instantly, as if to freeze the opponents completely.

He is Huo Yutong's eighth soul spirit, and also her last — Shuangling Bian.

When Huo Yutong condensed her second soul core, he awakened from his slumber; previously there had been no enemies requiring his intervention, so he had always been conducting research together with Ilex in the Sea of Spirit.

Now that a suitable opponent has appeared, as Huo Yutong's strongest soul spirit, he will naturally take the lead in helping her fight.

Unlike the Ice and Snow Two Emperors, after becoming Huo Yutong's soul spirit, his power is greatly restricted; even now, Shuangling Bian cannot unleash his full former strength.

But even if he cannot reach his peak, as the Ice God his combat power still far surpasses that of the Snow Empress.

Facing the multitude of soul spirits, the first to act was the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin.

He is allied with Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, but that doesn't prevent him from being very curious about just how strong these two are now.

At this moment, having the chance to seek advice from the two, he naturally won't miss it.

The Battle Armor Domain "Amorous, Since Ancient Times, Leftover Regret" was released, entwining around the soul spirits and instantly slowing their movements.

Zang Xin, after all, is a spiritual control system soul master; compared to direct combat, his forte is actually controlling the battlefield and assisting in attacks. Guan Yue and Qian Gu Dong Feng, however, are different.

These two Limit Douluo are both assault-system Limit Douluo, and their fighting style is also filled with extreme aggressiveness.

What Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong don't know is that the Coiling Dragon Staff, the hereditary martial soul of the Qian Gu family, after being developed over these ten thousand years, has long possessed its own unique combat style.

That is their self-created soul skill, Battle Heaven Fight Earth, or alternatively called the Unyielding Staff Technique.

The explosive power of this staff technique can be said to be the best in the present age; thus the true strongest of the Spirit Pagoda also relies on this staff technique, earning the reputation of having the strongest burst power among Limit Douluo.

Now facing a strong enemy, Qian Gu Dong Feng will hold nothing back; he strikes out with full force, smashing his staff toward the Snow Empress, as if the whole world became his power, pressing down upon the Snow Empress.

Whereas Guan Yue, on the other hand, is facing Shuangling Bian.

All the soul spirits have not concealed their auras, so the three Limit Douluo can instantly tell who the truly most troublesome opponent is.

The strongest is definitely Shuangling Bian, followed by the Snow Empress, then the Ice Emperor, and only after that come the other soul spirits.

The three Limit Douluo present were all experts at the demi-god level or above; to them, threats from beings below Limit Douluo were not significant, so they decided to focus mainly on these three Limit Douluo‑level soul spirits.

Facing Qian Gu Dongfeng's coiling dragon staff, the Snow Empress' pretty face turned icy cold; an ice‑blue longsword appeared in her hand, and she swung it down from mid‑air, clashing with Qian Gu Dongfeng's coiling dragon staff.

「Whoa！」

In this clash, it was actually Qian Gu Dongfeng who ended up downwind; a burst of extreme cold surged wildly into his body from the point where their weapons collided, nearly freezing all of his soul power.

His face changed instantly; he hastily paused a step to deal with the surging cold inside him.

Unlike Long Yeyue, Qian Gu Dongfeng, as the master of the Spirit Pagoda, was very knowledgeable about soul beasts.

Therefore, from the start he did not underestimate this existence ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, yet he still ended up underestimating the Snow Empress' strength.

But he had stopped his attack, and the Snow Empress would not wait for him to recover.

Violent snow drifted down; Snow Dance Blazing Sun instantly ravaged the battlefield, the Snow Empress' figure hidden within it as she launched a deadly assault on Qian Gu Dongfeng.

Although Qian Gu Dongfeng struggled to hold on, he kept retreating step by step, unable to withstand the assault.

Meanwhile, Guan Yue's situation was even more difficult than Qian Gu Dongfeng's.

Unlike Qian Gu Dongfeng, Guan Yue's strength had already reached the quasi‑god level, actually not far below the Snow Empress.

But his opponent was simply too heavyweight.

Shuangling Bian's body is entirely formed from Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow; even when transformed into a human it remains the same, and in fact becoming human reduced its volume and improved its constitution.

Don't forget, even at her peak the Snow Empress' maximum cold could not compare to the Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow found in the Eternal Mystic Ice Cave; merely Shuangling Bian's body already surpasses her full‑power output.

The result was Guan Yue's bewildered discovery that his attacks could not pierce the opponent's defense at all……

Not to mention breaking defense—whenever he struck Shuangling Bian with his Overheaven God Spear, an incredibly terrifying cold would flow along the spear into his body, rapidly sapping his combat strength.

From the start of the battle to now, Shuangling Bian has never launched a genuine attack of its own; merely standing before him has left him flustered and overwhelmed.

Don't be fooled by the appearance that he is always the one attacking; in fact, Shuangling Bian's built‑in recoil mechanism alone is already making it hard for him to hold on.

In contrast to Guan Yue and Qian Gu Dongfeng, Zang Xin's one‑versus‑many battlefield looks considerably better.

The Multifarious Love Ancient Leftover Regret battle armor domain hardly affects experts of the Snow Empress and Shuangling Bian's level, which is also a major reason why Qian Gu Dongfeng and Guan Yue have struggled so hard.

But the opponents Zang Xin faces are nowhere near as abnormal as the Snow Empress and Shuangling Bian; not to mention Li Ya's Eight‑Cornered Profound Ice Grass and others that have just entered the hundred‑thousand‑year soul spirit level, even the strongest of the remaining soul spirits, the Ice Emperor, has only just reached the Limit Douluo tier, and its combat power is clearly far inferior to Zang Xin's.

Therefore his domain effect works fully on these soul spirits, making them suffer immensely.

Furthermore, Zang Xin himself is extremely skilled at nauseating people as a mental‑control soul master, and as a result he became the sole human Limit Douluo to gain an advantage in all three battlefields.

Yet he fought with secret alarm, for none of these soul spirits had combat power below the Super Douluo level, and there was even the Ice Emperor, a Limit Douluo‑tier powerhouse; even he had to fight with utmost caution, or a slight mistake could lead to a counter‑kill.

Moreover, looking at the other battlefield, he realized clearly that this battle was a loss for the four of them.

Given how Guan Yue and Qian Gu Dongfeng were being thoroughly beaten, let alone Long Yeyue being instantly slain by the Snow Empress at the start and knocked out; even if she were still present, the four of them together would likely be pierced four times over by Shuangling Bian.

The reason they have not yet decided a winner is simply that Shuangling Bian hasn't gone all out at all; if this guy unleashed his full power from the outset, the field would instantly gain four more ice statues.

How can this be? Logically, a soul beast's combat power should drop considerably after becoming a soul spirit; just how strong was this white‑haired soul spirit in life, that even after becoming a soul spirit it still possesses the power to crush a quasi‑god?

Zang Xin was filled with immense doubt.

Soon, just as he had anticipated, the first battlefield already had a winner.

As the snowstorm subsided, Qian Gu Dongfeng, now turned into an ice statue, stood where he was, while the Snow Empress stood proudly not far before him.

Seeing that the Snow Empress had already defeated her opponent, Shuangling Bian no longer hid his strength; he suddenly seized the Overheaven God Spear thrust at his throat, smiled at Guan Yue, and said, "Isn't it time to admit defeat?"

"Ah, indeed, I have lost."

Guan Yue had nothing more to say, and he put away his Overheaven God Spear.

If he still couldn't tell the gap between them after fighting to this extent, he wouldn't have reached his present level.

Seeing that all his teammates had been defeated, Zang Xin likewise without hesitation halted his domain and raised both hands.

"Stop, stop, stop, I surrender."

If he didn't surrender now, it would be his turn to fight the Snow Empress and Shuangling Bian, and he certainly didn't want to follow in Qian Gu Dongfeng's footsteps.

Seeing the match end, Huo Yutong gave Shuangling Bian a glance; he nodded, extended his hand, and ice‑blue light emanated from Qian Gu Dongfeng and Long Yeyue, flying into his palm.

At the same time, these two Limit Douluo frozen into ice statues quickly thawed, regaining their ability to move.
