Chapter 39: Counterattack

Mu Qingcheng looked at the largest flower and smiled.

It was an ice-blue flower, with what seemed like a tiny person dancing within its petals, emitting a fragrant scent that was intoxicating.

"Is this the Ice Waltz Flower?"

Seeing the spiritual flower that Mu Qingcheng obtained, Chu Xiaotian exclaimed in shock.

This flower seemed too sentient, almost as if it were dancing, worthy of being called a spiritual flower.

"Yes, it can compensate for the deficiencies in my ice will. After consuming it, I can achieve a balance between Yin and Yang, and my strength will increase manifold," Mu Qingcheng nodded and spoke to Chu Xiaotian without any reservations.

"Alright, consume it, and I'll protect you," Chu Xiaotian nodded.

"Okay."

Mu Qingcheng smiled happily, then consumed the Ice Waltz Flower. Instantly, the wills of ice and fire spread out from her body and began to merge with each other.

It was as if Yin and Yang were converging, and the powers of Yin and Yang continuously evolved within her.

Mu Qingcheng's aura became incredibly cold after consuming the Ice Waltz Flower, and the temperature around her continuously dropped.

Around her body, flames and ice howled out, intertwining like dragons. The fire dragon and the ice dragon coiled around each other, merging and exploding with astonishing force, sending shivers down one's spine.

"So powerful!" Chu Xiaotian's expression became grave as he slowly spoke.

He could feel that if these two distinct powers could fully merge, they would unleash an earth-shattering might.

If Mu Qingcheng could successfully achieve the Yin-Yang, she would undoubtedly step onto the path of a true powerhouse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The void seemed to burst under this tumultuous force, the air exploding with the sound of sonic booms.

All the ice in the cave melted, transforming into pure energy that Mu Qingcheng absorbed into her body, turning into streams of ice will, thoroughly consumed by her.

Her will grew stronger, 16%, 17%...30%.

Only when the ice will reached thirty percent did the channel's ice stop melting, and the comprehended will gradually fade.

"Is she about to form a domain?"

Seeing Mu Qingcheng stop, Chu Xiaotian looked at her in confusion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But Mu Qingcheng didn't intend to form a domain of ice. She quickly took out several fiery red meteorites.

These meteorites emitted a terrifying fire force, as if they could easily ignite the entire void, burning the land to ashes.

Inside the flame meteorites, one could clearly feel the willpower.

These were clearly mystical meteorites with willpower, capable of enhancing and helping the user increase their willpower.

"Inhale!"

Mu Qingcheng's will of fire had already reached 20%, very close to forming a domain at 30%.

She rapidly absorbed the will of fire from the meteorites, and her will continued to increase, 21%, 22%, and finally stopped after reaching 30%.

Both their wills had reached 30%, indicating that both ice and fire will could easily condense into a domain.

"Merge for me!"

Mu Qingcheng didn't plan to form separate domains but merged the two completely opposing forces upon her command.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

A series of explosive sounds rang out, the void trembled, and the air constantly exploded.

Around Mu Qingcheng, terrifying fire and ice dragons appeared. The two dragons collided and merged, but they continually erupted in a fierce battle, as incompatible as water and fire.

Mu Qingcheng's face grew paler, and her expression worsened, clearly not expecting the difficulty of merging two completely opposing forces.

"Sputter!"

Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and her face turned extremely pale, clearly suffering backlash.

"System, can I help her?" Chu Xiaotian saw this and asked the system.

"Of course, the host has the supreme divine body, capable of easily sensing all wills. Moreover, the supreme divine body can suppress some of the violent wills. The host only needs to suppress your sword domain over the other's will to take effect."

"Of course, if the host forcibly suppresses the will, you will suffer some backlash," the system's voice rang out, telling Chu Xiaotian how to resolve the issue.

"Good."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian looked at Mu Qingcheng's increasingly difficult expression and finally made a decision with gritted teeth.

"Suppress for me."

Following the system's instructions, Chu Xiaotian immediately deployed his sword domain.

Maintaining the sword domain without using it to attack, given Chu Xiaotian's strength, could last for a while and wouldn't disappear in an instant.

Roar! Roar!

The sharp sword intent emanating from above the sword domain suppressed the fire and ice wills, instantly enraging the two dragons, unwilling to be suppressed.

"Hmph."

Facing the roaring dragons, Chu Xiaotian snorted coldly, refusing to let the dragons overpower him.

"Break! Break! Break!"

Chu Xiaotian's expression grew more difficult, and his sword domain took shape, slashing down on the two dragons one strike after another.

He intended to completely disperse the two wills and then recombine them.

After all, to merge the wills of ice and fire into the Yin-Yang domain, this step was necessary.

And Mu Qingcheng was injured because she couldn't do it, consuming too much.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Against the attack of the sword domain, the two dragons naturally wouldn't be captured without a fight, constantly roaring, their claws resisting Chu Xiaotian's attacks.

The two dragons wanted to destroy the sword domain, to destroy Chu Xiaotian; naturally, they didn't want to merge completely.

"Senseless things, suppress for me!"

Seeing the dragons becoming increasingly resistant, Chu Xiaotian's expression turned utterly cold, and he shouted angrily.

Although these dragons had their forms, they ultimately lacked spirit and couldn't unleash the true might of dragons. Moreover, the two wills hadn't yet formed a domain, so it was impossible for them to shatter Chu Xiaotian's sword domain.

"Shatter!"

With one slash, the sword light surpassed lightning, and the sword might, like ten thousand mountains, heavily fell.

Crash!

With a crisp sound, the two dragons finally shattered under Chu Xiaotian's assault, turning into a sky full of light spots. The two dragons disappeared.

Mu Qingcheng naturally felt this and immediately merged the wills of fire and ice, aiming to achieve Yin-Yang.

"Condense for me!"
