The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

On the stands, not only were the students excited, but several Heavenly Seat Elders, who were usually elusive, also made a quiet appearance.

Among them, Elder Zhutian and Elder Baimei are the most eye-catching.

Elder Zhutian wore a gray robe, had a thin face, and eyes as deep as the sea, as if he could see through all illusions.

Elder Bai Mei, on the other hand, had white hair and beard, and a kind and benevolent appearance.

He always had a smile on his face, but no one dared to underestimate this seemingly kind old man.

"This kid's cultivation speed is astonishing."

Elder Bai Mei stroked his long beard, smiling as he looked down at Bing Tianxiao, his eyes full of admiration. "How long has it been? You've already touched the threshold of the late-stage Transformation Realm?"

Elder Zhutian nodded slightly, but his gaze became even sharper:

"It's not just a simple improvement in cultivation level. Look at the aura around him; although it seems scattered, it is condensed and not dissipated, faintly exuding an extremely domineering chill."

Moreover... his physical body and spiritual strength seem to far surpass those of others of the same level.

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Elder Bai Mei's eyes. "Even you say so. It seems this little guy really has a lot of hidden cards up his sleeve."

However, Li Xuantong is no pushover either; this battle is likely to be quite a spectacle.

……

The atmosphere on the Spirit Battle Platform was extremely tense.

Bing Tianxiao and Li Xuantong stood facing each other, neither of them speaking.

But there seemed to be invisible sparks crackling in the air.

"You really shouldn't have come."

Li Xuantong finally spoke, his voice calm, "Luo Li carries too heavy a burden; you are not suitable for her."

Bing Tianxiao picked at his ear, looking impatient.

"Aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

If you're going to fight, then fight. Stop nagging like a mother hen.

Li Xuantong frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes:

"Stubborn and obstinate."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly moved.

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a long sword, its body a deep blue-green and radiating a sharp sword aura, was drawn from its sheath.

This sword is no ordinary item; it is a genuine, top-grade spiritual weapon—the Heavenly Profound Sword!

The sword has intricate patterns flowing across its blade, and one can almost hear the whistling of wind.

"Well done!"

Bing Tianxiao laughed loudly and made a clenching motion in the air with his right hand.

hum!

A resounding dragon roar echoed through the sky.

A halberd, entirely dark blue and radiating a terrifying chill, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

A lifelike ice dragon coiled around the halberd, its scales shimmering with a chilling light, as if it might come to life at any moment.

It is the Heavenly Frost Dragon Soul Halberd!

Although the dragon soul within has not yet awakened, the terrifying pressure emanating from the divine artifact is still palpable.

It still sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

"What...what kind of weapon is that?!"

"Could it be a divine artifact?"

In the stands, countless people gasped in shock.

Although he knew that Bing Tianxiao could not unleash the full power of this artifact, the artifact itself was terrifying!

Even the Heavenly Seat Elders' eyes narrowed.

"This little fellow actually possesses such a treasure..." Elder White Eyebrows exclaimed in amazement.

Li Xuantong also felt that suffocating sense of oppression, but he did not back down; instead, his fighting spirit intensified.

"So what if it's a divine artifact? If one's own strength is insufficient, it's just a waste of its power!"

He let out a low shout and suddenly swung out the Heavenly Profound Sword.

call out!

A massive azure sword aura, hundreds of feet in size, roared out, carrying an unparalleled sharpness, heading straight for Bing Tianxiao.

"Whether it's a waste or not, you'll know once you try it."

Bing Tianxiao snorted coldly and suddenly shook the halberd in his hand.

"Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!"

boom!

With a low shout, the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Countless icy blue spiritual energies converged wildly, transforming into a massive frost whirlwind that met the sword energy like an angry dragon emerging from the sea.

Bang!

Two terrifying forces collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar.

The violent aftershocks of spiritual energy swept outwards, causing the entire spirit arena to tremble slightly.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the two figures retreated simultaneously.

Li Xuantong retreated several steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the hard bluestone ground, his expression slightly changing.

In contrast, Bing Tianxiao only took half a step back to regain his balance, and remained calm and composed.

"What?!"

This scene instantly caused the entire audience to erupt in cheers.

"Bing Tianxiao has actually gained the upper hand?!"

"How is this possible? Li Xuantong is ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking!"

"Could this kid's strength have surpassed Li Xuantong's?"

Li Xuantong steadied himself, his gaze fixed on the young man opposite him, a serious look finally appearing in his eyes:

"Late stage of the Transformation Realm... I never expected you could reach this level in just two months."

He originally thought that with his late-stage Transformation Realm cultivation and years of accumulated experience, he would be able to easily crush this upstart.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's strength was no less than his own, and he even had a slight advantage in the previous exchange!

Bing Tianxiao casually twirled his halberd, a playful smile playing on his lips:

"What? You're surprised already? The real show is just beginning."

The aura emanating from him was indeed that of a genuine late-stage Transformation Realm cultivator!

Moreover, it was not a superficial realm that was forcibly raised through elixirs.

It is a foundation that has been forged through countless trials and tribulations and is extremely solid!

In the stands, Elder Zhutian's eyes gleamed:

"Good lad, not only has your cultivation level improved, but your physical strength is also terrifying."

In that last attack, he didn't use his full strength at all; he simply relied on the explosive power of his physical body and spiritual energy to withstand Li Xuantong's sword energy.

Elder Bai Mei nodded repeatedly:

"It seems the outcome of this battle is uncertain."

Li Xuantong took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and his eyes sharpened again.

He knew that the opponent before him was no longer a newcomer who could be easily manipulated.

But he is a true rival!

"In that case, let's see what we're really made of!"

With a tremor of his Heavenly Profound Sword, an even more powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted into the sky.

"Dawnbreaker Sword Technique - First Light of Dawn!"

With a low shout, countless sword energies converged, transforming into a dazzling sword light as bright as the rising sun.

He slashed at Bing Tianxiao once more.

This sword strike was even more ferocious and swift than the previous one!

Clearly, Li Xuantong has become serious.

Upon seeing this, Bing Tianxiao's smile widened, and the Heavenly Frost Dragon Soul Halberd in his hand emitted an excited hum.

"Well done! Let me see just how much you're really worth as the second-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking!"

boom!

The dazzling sword light and the dark blue halberd shadow collided fiercely in mid-air, bursting out with blinding brilliance.

The violent spiritual energy shockwave swept across the entire spirit arena like a hurricane.

Even the reinforced defensive light shield was trembling violently, emitting creaking sounds as it struggled under the strain.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the two figures remained standing.
