Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 73 Big cold without snow
"What... what is this thing?!"

Amidst the wind and snow, the Soul Emperor swung his sword with all his might. Each sharp slash of his longsword martial spirit carved a hole in the snowy landscape before him.

Unfortunately, this approach was completely ineffective.

Snowflakes fluttered and danced in the air; the snow that had just been cleared would be replenished in the next second, and might even pile up more densely.

At the same time, these snowflakes release a dazzling white light as they fall. If you were to touch them directly with your body, you would only have your flesh shaved off and your bones frozen through by the sharp-looking ice and snow.

"These ice and snow are not simply condensed soul power!"

The Soul Emperor's expression changed several times as he noticed the abnormality.

Within the realm of spiritual perception, the ice and snow before them were actually imbued with a powerful spiritual force.

Every single one!
That kid's senses have taken control of everything within the domain along with the wind and snow... He will know all of my attacks and actions here, and will respond accordingly.

"What level of domain is this? How can it be so difficult to deal with?"

Because he spends most of his time on missions, he has a great deal of knowledge about the various methods used by Soul Masters.

But common sense told him that this kind of power was not something a lowly kid could master!

"Gurgle... Ah!"

Just then, another suppressed scream came from outside the thick snowstorm.

Another person has lost their life.

Only one member of the assassination squad he brought was still alive.

"You little bastard! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!"

Instantly, the Soul Emperor could no longer suppress his rage.

These people were his brothers and partners who had shared life and death with him for nearly ten years, but now they were all being killed one after another in this strange realm.

"Go to hell!"

With a roar, the sixth soul ring floating beside him shone brightly, and the longsword in the Soul Emperor's hand instantly ignited with raging black flames as he unleashed a furious strike that consumed most of his soul power.

Black flames surged, and the wind and snow swept away.

Even Di Hantian, facing a full-force attack from someone whose cultivation was three levels higher, found it difficult to continue. The rolling waves of snow and frost were split in two the instant the heavy blade light fell, revealing Huo Yuhao, who was grabbing someone by the neck.

"I'm sorry, you weren't decisive enough."

Huo Yuhao exhaled a chilling breath, his icy blue afterimage flashing as he sneered, "The last one."

Snapped!
With a slight exertion of his fingers, the Soul King, who had long since lost his life, gradually shattered right before the leader's eyes.

Too late.

If Huo Yuhao had broken through the domain with all his might the moment he released Di Hantian, these Soul Kings might have been able to die alongside him.

As for now?

"Emperor's Palm..."

Huo Yuhao stretched out his palm towards the Soul Emperor, who was rushing towards him with a furious expression, and the remaining 30% of his soul power was drained away in an instant.

"Pfft~"

The extreme cold essence condensed in the palm suddenly erupted, freezing the sharp blade light that the Soul Emperor slashed out at the moment of contact.

There was no frost, no snow.

Only a pure, extreme cold light gradually spread, rapidly expanding.

Blade light, soul power, martial spirit, spirit...

Wherever the chill passes, everything and all energy freeze instantly, stagnating indefinitely.

Whether it's an attack or the soul power flowing on the body's surface, it seems as if nothing is there, shattering at the slightest touch.

"No snow during the Great Cold".

Click~
In the instant that chill washed over his body, and everything within him began to freeze, the bewilderment hidden deep in the Soul Emperor's eyes vanished, replaced by incredulous horror. So that's why…

turn out to be--

"Snow...Emperor?!"

Before being completely frozen, the Soul Emperor gritted his teeth and spat out two words at Huo Yuhao.

Then, the body, now an ice sculpture, leaned backward in mid-air with its remaining kinetic energy, shattering into a cloud of ice and snow before hitting the ground and disappearing with the wind.

Being able to die under the Snow Emperor's three ultimate techniques is not such a shameful thing.

"Whoo~"

Seeing that the enemy in front of him was completely dead, Huo Yuhao, who was about to release his Spirit Eye Martial Soul to make a move, finally relaxed and almost fell headfirst into the grass.

The soul power is still too low.

After all, all of these skills are energy-intensive!
Even with the Ice Emperor's arrival significantly reducing energy consumption, those powerful skills that take hundreds of thousands of years to develop are not something he can use at will right now.

Especially that last palm strike.

It seemed effortless and powerful, but in reality, he could only unleash half a move even with all his might. It was only at the crucial moment that he had a flash of inspiration and incorporated the power of the palm strike into the Di Hantian who had been split in two, which barely allowed him to activate the Great Cold Without Snow.

If this happens a few more times, Huo Yuhao's current small body simply can't withstand such abuse.

"As expected... I still need to continue my cultivation!"

Huo Yuhao was breathing heavily, a bitter smile in his eyes.

If you're not strong enough, you might even get drained dry by your own skills...

"You've done a very good job."

Elder Yi's voice rang out in the sea of ​​consciousness, his calm tone barely concealing his admiration: "However, the concealment technique activated by borrowing the power of fate has a limited duration. It's best to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid being discovered."

"understand!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression immediately turned serious.

They had discussed the matter of their second martial soul before, and finally decided to keep it hidden as much as possible.

The fact that such powerful attributes, almost godlike, appeared on something resembling a martial soul would drive the entire Douluo Continent crazy if it got out, adding many variables to Huo Yuhao's future cultivation path.

Moreover, the mystery surrounding the appearance of his second martial soul is directly linked to the many secrets hidden in his mind, and it is neither reasonable nor ethical to reveal it to others casually.

"The power of fate..."

After reminding Huo Yuhao, Elder Yi, suspended in his sea of ​​consciousness, looked at the strange energy flowing around the sky and his brows gradually furrowed.

This force of destiny is of such a high rank, and possesses the powerful ability to transform the mind and body. I wonder if it's a good thing that it's always here, relentlessly eroding everything.

……

"Mr. Mu?"

The streak of light that rushed out of Shrek City landed hastily, and Yan Shaozhe and the others looked at Mu En, who had arrived here before them, with surprise in their eyes.

Based on their usual impressions, Moon should stay under the golden tree or in front of the dormitory every day and wouldn't easily wander around.

"ice."

The usually amiable Moon was now serious, hunching over as he paced back and forth in the still-chilly air: "Judging from this feeling, it's probably not ordinary extreme ice!"

"what?"

Yan Shaozhe's expression trembled slightly.

As the dean of the Spirit Academy, and possessing the Radiant Phoenix Spirit, he naturally has a deep understanding of ultimate spirits…

But what does it mean to be 'not ordinary, extreme ice'?
"What are you saying, Elder Mu? Does that mean there are different tiers within the ultimate attributes?"

Qian Duoduo's eyes were also quite peculiar.
