Chapter 470: Three Ultimate Techniques of the Snow Empress

...

A myriad of emotions flickered across Zeng Yi's face - madness, calmness, indifference, and intense contradictions were all vividly displayed.

The seventh spirit ring shining brightly around his body, emanating powerful fluctuations of spirit power that caused the ground beneath his feet to crack under the terrifying force.

Boom!

An immense wave of energy surged outward from Zeng Yi, like a tsunami, causing the thick ice layers to be decimated by its destructive force. He screamed in exertion as he broke free from the abyssal oppression that loomed above him in the sky.

[Spirit Skill: Sword of Selflessness!]

[Spirit Bone Skill: Spirit Accumulation!]

Without hesitation, Zeng Yi activated his spirit bone skill, channeling the power of another complete spirit force reservoir into his body, accelerating its circulation and igniting a blazing flame within him.

In an instant, his eight spirit rings burst open, transforming into boundless spirit power that surged into his body.

Zeng Yi shouted in anger and excitement as his body swelled with boundless power.

[Domain: Emptiness!]

Instantly, the ice and snow within Zeng Yi's domain began to melt, spreading outwards endlessly.

[Martial Spirit True Body]

His right arm, now bulging with prominent veins, tightly grasped the hilt of [Ronin Sword], pulling it out with great force.

Clang!

Sword trembled, and a terrifying sharpness pervaded the air, as if an unparalleled divine sword had been unsheathed.

Clang!

At that moment, the sword revealed a glimmer, only exposing a portion of its sharpness, but it caused the sky to change colors.

The winds roared, thunder cracked in the sky, and the collision between the two immense powers created an upheaval in the natural order.

The Ice Jade Scorpion Empress and the Ice Devil Titan King were not surprised by the Snow Empress's strength. As the ruler of the Extreme North, her power was expected, and they had witnessed it firsthand.

What astonished them was the strength of this human!

He had unleashed a power that could almost rival the Snow Empress's presence and strength.

The terrifying clash of these two powers made the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress and the Ice Devil Titan King feel danger and the approaching scent of death.

It was terrifying!

If they were to be swept up in the aftermath of this battle, they would be gravely injured if not killed.

At this moment, the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress finally realized the horror of this human.

No wonder even proud individuals like the Ice Devil Titan King were suppressed and in danger. If they hadn't arrived in time, they would have died under the human's sword.

Now, thinking back to her previous intention of teaching this ignorant human a lesson, the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress realized that it was she who underestimated the human's power.

"Damn it!"

The Ice Jade Scorpion Empress felt frustrated as she looked at the two figures, then glanced at the Ice Devil Titan King beside her.

"Let's move away."

The Ice Devil Titan King also understood the severity of the situation. Such a collision, if it happened nearby, would drag them into it.

Already injured, he couldn't endure this level of turbulence. So, he agreed with the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress's suggestion and quickly retreated.

"That's more interesting."

The Snow Empress stood in the sky, looking down at Zeng Yi, feeling the power that even alarmed her. A smirk appeared on her face, and her crystalline lips parted, unable to hold back her admiration.

"However, this level is far from enough!"

The Snow Empress sneered. Although she was genuinely impressed by the human's power, she didn't feel threatened herself.

Moreover, as the ruler of the Extreme North, she would not show any mercy!

She had a premonition that this human was extraordinary. Moreover, there hadn't been any humans in this place for many years. The sudden appearance of a human of this caliber might mark the beginning of disaster.

If she let him leave alive, it wouldn't take long before larger groups of humans came to disrupt the sanctuary she protected.

Therefore, she couldn't hold back!

She coldly observed the human below, admiring his spirit of not giving up despite the absolute power difference.

In her icy eyes, a trace of regret flowed.

Such a pity.

The Snow Empress stood in the sky, her sky-blue eyes ethereal and transparent, seemingly able to see through everything in the world. Her slender and flawlessly perfect figure, adorned in a simple white gown without any decoration, emanated a sense of purity and absolute beauty. Immaculate and exceptional, she was like a noble solitary plum in the snow, unique and unfazed. Her every move was like artwork, captivating and majestic.

She extended her slender right hand, palm facing up, and a central light sphere converged in her fair and delicate hand, emitting an icy blue radiance.

Then, the light sphere rose and hung in the sky like a dazzling sun.

However, the radiance it emitted was not scorching but extremely cold!

[Domain: Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice!]

In an instant, the extreme cold invaded the heavens and earth.

Feathers of snowflakes began to drift in the sky.

Then, at that moment, the snowflakes suspended in the air froze in place.

It was as if time had frozen.

This space had turned into a shade of ice blue, and even tiny frozen patterns could be seen in the vacuum.

It wasn't time that had stopped; it was the heavens and earth, this world, frozen and halted by this extreme cold, burying all signs of life.

[Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice]

This was Absolute Zero Temperature! A domain-type skill that drastically drops the temperature in the area; even a Titled Douluo needs to circulate soul power to resist such cold.

Crack, crack, crack.

In that moment, even Zeng Yi's movements were frozen.

Only his body, in the midst of drawing his sword, became petrified, covered in a layer of ice, resembling a vivid sculpture.

"It's over."

The Snow Empress gazed at the frozen figure below, unable to help but sigh. Then, cracks appeared on the gigantic ice sword suspended in the sky, and shattered ice fell from it.

As the shards of ice fell, the sword rapidly shrank until it transformed into a one-meter-long sword made of pure ice.

At the moment the shards of ice fell from the gigantic sword in the sky, Zeng Yi, frozen below, began to crack, revealing a dark demonic aura.

Boom!

"Ahahaha!"

At that moment, the ice surrounding Zeng Yi shattered and splintered, showering the area.

A maniacal laughter echoed in the air!

Zeng Yi looked to the sky, his face displaying half demonic and half divine expressions. With one eye blood-red and bloodthirsty and the other eye silver and ruthless, his ferocious countenance combined both angelic and demonic aspects. This contradictory expression exuded mad laughter.

He drew [Ronin Sword] from his waist.

Clang!

In that instant, the sound of a sword resounding through the heavens and earth was unleashed, as if an unrivaled divine sword had been unsheathed.

Crack, crack, crack.

The sound of breaking spread rapidly. From Zeng Yi's position, an obvious crack extended towards the sky.

This scene resembled the splitting of space, shaking the hearts of all who saw it!

"You didn't disappoint me.."

The Snow Empress witnessed this scene, and her dormant eyes flickered with excitement.

She extended her hand, gripping tightly onto the delicate ice sword, raising it high, ready to strike!

Two extreme sword intents clashed, collided!

At that moment, looking up at the high skies, the clouds parted by the terrifying sword intent, as if the sky had been divided into two halves!

Zeng Yi broke through the Domain of Absolute Zero, drew his sword, and unleashed a powerful surge of sword intent that reached the heavens.

He laughed manically, his eyes shining with excitement, fixated on the sword above the sky!

If she represented the heavens, he would be the one who defied them!

Whoosh!

In an instant, Zeng Yi's body transformed into a lightning bolt, rushing towards the sky, his entire being resembling a giant sword. That silver arc mixed with black and blood-red, accompanied by a hurricane, turned into a colossal tornado, tearing through layers of ice, tearing open space, and cleaving through the heavens.

[Wind Sword Art: Extinguish the Heavens!]

The Snow Empress remained silent, watching the rushing winds and lightning, feeling the near-ultimate sword intent. Her icy blue hair fluttered in the wind.

She held up the icy sword, ready to strike.

[Empress' Sword]

A bluish arc flashed, and the immensely cold and sharp sword light cut through the space. The area it covered froze, burying all vitality.

At that moment, the clash between two extreme sword intents made space crack and the world fall into silence.

The extreme cold was torn apart by the storm, and the storm lost its power and dissipated.

Amidst the shattered ice falling from the sky, Zeng Yi's figure also descended with the ice shards.

Then, in the next moment, a stunning figure appeared before Zeng Yi.

Her eyes, as beautiful as ice crystals, gazed at him, and her palm silently covered his chest.

[Empress' Palm]

Zeng Yi looked at the breathtakingly beautiful face before him, and his eyes swiftly contracted. But at this moment, he couldn't react anymore.

He only felt the woman's hand gently caressing his chest, followed by a rush of terrifying icy power!

Pft!

In an instant, a delicate and beautiful ice flower blossomed on Zeng Yi's chest. Then, a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the ice flower, adding a hint of enchanting color.

Crack!

Under [Empress' Palm], the terrifying power formed a visible arc of air pressure that expanded in the space. Zeng Yi's body was shot out like a cannonball.

Boom!

His body violently smashed into the icy ground, causing the ice surface to sink and shatter, burying him beneath countless layers of ice!

However, deep within the layers of ice, the terrifying power unleashed by the Snow Empress's palm affected even the unknown spirit beasts that lived in the depths of the ice.

At that moment, space warped, followed by a dark rift splitting open. Zeng Yi's body was swallowed by it, disappearing without a trace.

In an instant, after the distorted space and the rift closed back, everything returned to its original state.

The glimpse of astonishment in the Snow Empress's eyes vanished, replaced by an icy coldness.
