As soon as Hazuki and Long Lan exited the portal, a woman with long, lustrous hair and icy aura was on the opposite side of them. She was shrouded with an icy mist that somewhat conceals her true appearance.
The woman was coldly looking at them and said. "Who are you?!" Then she released a powerful gust of Ice energy towards Hazuki and Long Lan.
Long Lan also looked at her coldly. She also released her own gust of powerful water energy.
*Boom!* The two energies clashed and Long Lan's oppressive energy immediately outclassed Mu Xuanyin's. The latter was very shocked as she immediately tried to repel the incoming energy.
"Hah!" Mu Xuanyin's surroundings turned into ice as she released her profound attack.
The profound energy released by Mu Xuanyin was extremely cold, capable of freezing even the air surrounding it.
*Bang!* Mu Xuanyin's profound energy was once again defeated and she was struck by Long Lan's profound energy.
Mu Xuanyin held her chest as fresh blood was released from her mouth. She knelt on the ground and she couldn't believe she lost in a battle of strength.
'She's a level 6 or above Divine Master?!' Mu Xuanyin thought. Since she couldn't sense her opponent's profound strength and the fact that Long Lan was stronger than her proved her thoughts.
Hazuki and Long Lan approached Mu Xuanyin slowly. The latter immediately backed away but before she could move, she felt the space surrounding her constrict and restricted her in place.
Long Lan and Hazuki arrived in front of her. Hazuki squatted and observed Mu Xuanyin's facial features, she was very beautiful. Her beautiful face, slightly slanted crescent brows, misty eyes, and gentle light pink colored lips could bewitch the soul and contained an indescribable charm.
Even he couldn't help but admit that she was very beautiful, even more beautiful than Long Lan beside him.
Mu Xuanyin stared at Hazuki coldly and snorted. Her right hand was brimming with ice energy as she aimed it at Hazuki's figure close-range.
*Boom!* Hazuki was struck by Mu Xuanyin's ice energy.
The direction at which Mu Xuanyin released her attack was frozen. If they could see the state of their realm, then they would see that almost a tenth of the realm was frozen by her attack.
Even though Hazuki was frozen, Long Lan didn't even look fazed. Not even a part of her clothes was affected by Mu Xuanyin's attack.
Of course, Long Lan knew that her master could definitely dodge or repel that attack if he wanted to. She doesn't know what objectives her master had but she will not interfere with it as long as it doesn't threaten her master's life.
She looked at Mu Xuanyin coldly then said. "Just obediently heed our requests, we won't do anything to you and this realm."
Mu Xuanyin coldly looked back at Long Lan and said. "Our? You are the only one left. Your lowly aide has already gone to the netherworld."
Even though Long Lan was stronger than her, that definitely wasn't enough to make her yield. Even if she dies, she wouldn't let anyone defile her dignity.
"Died? Haha. You're overestimating yourself, girl." Long Lan sneered at Mu Xuanyin's prideful attitude. That kind of attack definitely isn't enough to kill her master. Even she doesn't know if she could win against him.
Even though her master doesn't possess that many bizarre techniques such as profound techniques and bloodline arts. Although he mostly relies on his eyes and physical prowess, he's definitely powerful as a combatant. She could also feel a powerful type of energy from Hazuki that even she couldn't recognize. It was an energy slightly more tyrannical than Primordial energy.
Well, good thing Long Lan only witnessed Hazuki brandishing God Ki and not his Godly Chakra.(Combination of Chakra, God Ki, and Soul Force.)
Suddenly, the ice encasing Hazuki defrosted revealing Hazuki, who didn't even look a little bit hurt after Mu Xuanyin's attack.
This immunity all came from the yin-yang release. His yin-yang release could negate any type of energy as long as it wasn't nature energy.
Each of his techniques mainly uses Chakra, even rinnegan was no exception and Hazuki thought that: since Chakra is used to fuel his Chakra techniques, why can't any other type of energy be used as a substitute? Thus, he made thousands of clones to experiment on that theory alongside the thousands of his clones training God Ki control.
The result after a few months was: Hazuki gained the ability to fuel any of his energies to his Chakra techniques. For example, he used yin-yang release fueled by profound energy to negate Mu Xuanyin's attack.
Even Indra was able to create different techniques(Ninjutsu) through Ninshū so how could he, someone with a system, not have the ability to do so?
Even Hazuki was amazed after he realized the potential of this Yin-Yang release. 'Wouldn't that make me the same as the Creation God of Elements?!'
His Yin-Yang release became something like a law. Law of Yin-Yang that could nullify any type of energy as long as he has the same type of it.
After he defrosted the ice, Hazuki stood up and asked Long Lan to dry his clothes.
Mu Xuanyin looked at Hazuki with shock. They're both monsters! That attack spent almost 40% of her profound strength and he wasn't even the slightest bit injured?!
"Both of you should be High-level Divine Masters, what are you doing here in a Middle-rank star realm?!" Mu Xuanyin coldly said. Divine masters were very exalted existences in this era without gods. Most of them should be on high-rank star realms and high-level Divine Masters shouldn't have any thoughts on a middle-rank star realm.
Mu Xuanyin only has half of her profound energy reserves so right now, she was on the verge of exhausting her profound energy. If a battle broke out then she would surely lose.
Hazuki laughed at her words and squatted once again. He reached out and took hold of Mu Xuanyin's hair as he touched it gently, he looked at her eyes and said. "Who knows? Maybe we're here for your body?"
Mu Xuanyin's trembled. She hated being touched by anyone and as she heard Hazuki's words, she was quite intimidated. If they're really after my body, what should I do? Commit suicide to avoid getting her dignity sullied or fight till the end?
As Hazuki noticed Mu Xuanyin's blank look, he chuckled and patted her cheeks. "Haha, don't be so nervous, 'Lady'. Our only purpose here was the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake. As long as we can enter that lake, we wouldn't bother you anymore."
Mu Xuanyin looked at Hazuki and Long Lan in shock. 'Don't tell me.. they found out about Lord Ice phoenix's body?! Impossible!'
The Ice Phoenix's divine body was sealed beneath the Heavenly Netherfrost lake and that was her greatest secret. Only she should've known about it since she was its inheritor.
"Why do you want to enter the 'my' Heavenly Netherfrost lake?! It should be useless to both of you since you're already strong enough! Moreover, both of you don't cultivate Ice arts so why would you covet my Heavenly Netherfrost Lake?!" Mu Xuanyin probed. She would definitely not let these evildoers take away the Ice Phoenix's body! She would definitely stop them even if it means dying!
"As I said, don't be sooo nervous. We don't have a use for your Heavenly Netherfrost Lake. I only need to converse with someone buried under that Lake. You should know who I am talking about since you are her inheritor." Hazuki stated their purpose. It's better to be straightforward since Mu Xuanyin hates formality.
As soon as Hazuki finished his sentence, Mu Xuanyin stood up slowly and said through gritted teeth. "I will not let you profane her even if it cost me my life..!"
The Ice aura surrounding her rose to the peak. Its momentum was so powerful that everyone from the realm was alerted by it.
A blizzard of Ice surrounded Mu Xuanyin. The aura around her became increasingly intense that even her surroundings started cracking due to the extreme cold.
Hazuki saw this and immediately knew she was trying to use Broken Moon Oblivion. If she used that technique, then she would lose a lot of Ice Phoenix essence blood and her natural aptitude would decrease. If that happened, then her cultivation might stagnate and remain in that realm forever.
He immediately switched places with one of the Ice Shards close to her. His body was coated with Yin-Yang energy to nullify the ice aura surrounding her and chopped towards her neck.
*Chop* Mu Xuanyin immediately lost consciousness and the Ice aura surrounding her also disappeared. Silence reigned over the area as Hazuki landed with Mu Xuanyin in his arms.
Right after Hazuki landed, multiple figures arrived above the place. A woman and a Man descended with stern looks on their faces.
They can clearly see their Sect Master within Hazuki's arms, unconscious. That just meant that they were powerful enough to overpower their Sect Master, even if they tried to resist they wouldn't make much difference.
"Release our Sect Master!" Mu Huanzi shouted. Even if they're weaker, they must still act with dignity since appearing weak might encourage the other party.
Hazuki stared at Mu Huanzi and Mu Yuanzi said. "Just in time. Lead me towards Heavenly Netherfrost Lake and I will release Mu Xuanyin."
Both Mu Huanzi and Mu Yuanzi exchanged looks before they nodded. Their Great Realm King's life is more important than anything. Without their Great Realm King, the whole Snow Song Realm might collapse due to panic and Chaos.
Mu Huanzi looked back to Hazuki then he demanded. "Release our Sect Master first."
Hazuki laughed at Mu Huanzi's facade and said. "No need to act tough, Great Elder. You are not the one in charge. If I decided to kill Mu Xuanyin right here, can you stop me?"
"No, right? That's why stop dawdling because my patience is running out." he added.
Mu Huanzi was intimidated as he nodded repeatedly. He looked at his Sect master with worry and said. "Please follow me."
Then Mu Huanzi flew away very quickly. He wanted to retrieve their Sect Master as soon as possible from their hands.
A minute later, Hazuki and Long Lan saw a large lake with extreme ice aura emanating from it.
The surrounding flowers and trees possessed an extremely high level of cold energy. All of these are also rare flowers and trees that can only grow when nurtured by extreme cold energy.
Mu Huanzi and Mu Yuanzi arrived beside the lake and said. "This is the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake. Can you release our Sect Master now?"
Hazuki didn't listen to him and looked at Long Lan. "Long Lan, can you keep you descend on that lake without freezing?"
"Of course! Don't underestimate my ability, Master!" Long Lan grumbled. This is just a lake with the Ice phoenix's aura and a cold vein! This wasn't even enough to make her cold much less freeze her!
"Then let's descend now." Hazuki replied. Then he laid down Mu Xuanyi and spanked her butt very loudly.
*Slap!* The resounding slap stunned both Mu Huanzi and Mu Yuanzi. They trembled in anger in fear as they stared at Hazuki.
"How dare you profane our Great realm King?!" Mu Huanzi shouted. The ice energy surrounding him also intensified to a certain degree. Even though it was strong, it was massively weaker compared to Mu Xuanyin's ice profound energy,
Mu Xuanyin immediately woke up after she felt her bottom getting slapped. Her face flushed red with humiliation and anger as she stared at Hazuki hatefully.
Hazuki ignored her icy looks and said. "Stay still and be a good girl. I shall gift you something that will surely please you."
"Get away from me!" Mu Xuanyin shrieked. Even though she wanted to get away from Hazuki, she can't. She was within Hazuki's arms and the force surrounding her was very intense.
Hazuki ignored Mu Xuanyin's anger and sent Soul Force with Yin Release to nourish the Ice Phoenix's divine soul. Soul Force was used to nourish her divine soul while the Yin Release was slowly awakening it.
The concept of Yin Release is 'Creating form out of nothingness.' Hazuki was slowly forming her Divine Ice phoenix soul with the same Yin Release.
Hagoromo was able to create the form and consciousness of the Tailed Beasts with the Yin Release out of nothing. Hazuki's job was only to 'awaken' the Divine Soul. It's easier than creating form out of nothingness.
Mu Xuanyin struggled at first but when she felt her Divine Ice Phoenix soul awakening, she immediately immersed herself in cultivation.
She was assimilating the benefits she received by awakening her Divine Soul into her body. Currently, her Divine Soul was already awakened. That meant her bloodline was also at its peak.
Her abilities were enhanced to the extreme and her cultivation skyrocketed. In just a few minutes, Mu Xuanyin's cultivation rose up to Level 5 Divine Master and it was still increasing quickly.
During this time, Hazuki and Long Lan already descended into the lake. Both of them rushed down very quickly even though the intensity of the coldness was increasing with each meter down.
A minute later, Hazuki and Long Lan arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake. As they stared at the ground beneath them, they could see a faint figure of a woman enclosed within the ice. She has a white-colored hair and her body was curled up to conceal her private parts.
Hazuki touched the Ice block gently. After that, Hazuki saw the woman in front of him release a faint light.
"Young Man, I saw your actions above the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake. Thank you for helping my successor awaken her Divine Soul." A distinct voice with a tinge of iciness sounded.
"That's only natural since I'm also here to ask you a favor." Hazuki immediately replied.
The Ice Phoenix asked. "What kind of favor is it? I don't think my remaining power is enough to grant a favor requested by a powerful being such as yourself." her latter words were said with a slight dejection.
"Your intact soul should be here, right? I only want your soul to enter this stone and grant a part of your inheritance to a friend of mine, who needs assistance." Hazuki said straightforwardly.
The Ice Phoenix immediately replied. "Entering that stone is not possible since I still have an unfulfilled task. I still have an important mission to fulfill by staying here."
"Ice Phoenix, you don't have to worry about the devil gods wreaking havoc in Primal Chaos anymore since I already have a solution for that. I am sure that Primal Chaos will survive that disaster." Hazuki said,
"How did you know about 'that' Calamity?! And you're saying.. You already have the solution for that?! But I cannot sense the aura of the Heretic God from you! The only being that can save primal Chaos is the Heretic God's successor!" The Ice Phoenix exclaimed. She clung onto her pitiful existence just to finish this task, how could she just suddenly leave because of a favor?
Hazuki then said. "You're worried about the Devil God's return to Primal Chaos, right? Even if they do find a way to tear open the space surrounding Primal Chaos, do you think all of them would be able to enter simultaneously? They spent millions of years trying to break open the space surrounding Primal Chaos, do you think they will be able to create a tear large enough for all of them to enter?"
"Think about this analogy, A mortal was trying to create a hole through tough steel with an ax. What should he do to achieve his goal with the least time possible?" Hazuki asked.
The Ice Phoenix remained silent until she hesitantly replied. "Concentrate his attacks in a single point.."
"That's the answer. The devils should be doing that too since even with the world piercer, they are having trouble creating a tear on the Primal Chaos' wall. The Primal Chaos' wall is also repairing itself while the Devil gods are trying to break it open. Even if they do make a tear on it, it should be small and unstable. With that kind of small tear, Primal Chaos' wall should be able to repair it easily and only a few Devil Gods would be able to enter. Who do you think will enter first?" Hazuki asked.
The Ice Phoenix replied absentmindedly. "Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor..."
"That's right. They don't know the current state of the Primal Chaos and they must be thinking that the Creation Gods are still alive. Knowing that they would be wasting their efforts for millions of years If they sent in a Devil God. That's the point where my plan would enter!" Hazuki said.
The Ice Phoenix was silent. Even though what Hazuki said was theoretical, even she couldn't deny those possibilities. She then said, "What is your plan?"
"First, I must ask you a question. Do you think the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor became soft after marrying the Heretic God and having a child?" Hazuki asked.
"Maybe.. How should I know the thoughts of a Devil God-Emperor?" The Ice Phoenix said hesitantly.
"I'll bet she has become soft. Do you think the Devil Emperor would want to touch her child with her bloodstained hands? That's the reason why the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor stopped wreaking Havoc. She doesn't want to touch her child with bloodstained hands. Even Devils change after having something important to them."
"After the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor enter Primal Chaos, I would bring her towards the Heretic God's successor and her child. Her only child was already living peacefully together with the Heretic God's successor. Would she destroy the Primal Chaos, which her child was living in peacefully, due to the past? Or let go of her grudges to let her child live peacefully?" Hazuki said.
The Ice Phoenix was once again silent as she ruminated over Hazuki's words. '... That's quite true.. After the Heretic God was married to her, I never heard the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor wreaking havoc even once.. the only thing I heard was her involvement with the Heaven Punishing Divine Emperor's scheme... Moreover, she became the victim... Maybe she has really become soft? No.. I shouldn't entrust Primal Chaos' safety to a possibility..'
"I'm sorry, I must still refuse. I couldn't entrust the Primal Chaos' safety to a mere possibility. It's better to have a plan B rather than placing all of your trust in a single possibility." The Ice Phoenix refused.
Hazuki was quite irritated by the Ice Phoenix's stubbornness. 'Just go with me, okay?! Stop being obstinate!'
"Then, I'll ask you another question. How do you plan on saving Primal Chaos?" Hazuki asked.
The Ice Phoenix was silent for a few seconds before she replied with an uncertain tone. "I plan on telling the Heretic God about the incoming Calamity and bestow him my remaining powers."
"What a boring plan, Ice Phoenix. I personally know the Heretic God's successor and I can always tell him about the incoming Calamity! Bestow him your remaining powers? He doesn't need it since he already received the power of the Heretic God! He has also already received the help of the Fire Phoenix and Golden Crow! You can help my friend more than the Heretic God's successor!" Hazuki said.
"...." The Ice Phoenix couldn't speak a single word of rebuttal. What Hazuki said was true, since he personally knew about the Heretic God's successor, he can always tell him about the Calamity! He's also right about the inheritance since her current power was pitifully low. She couldn't even maintain her Ice Phoenix form and was forced to take on the shape of a human.
"Let's make a deal Ice Phoenix. You'll help my friend, then I'll help Primal Chaos in exchange." Hazuki said after perceiving the Ice Phoenix's hesitation.
"What kind of situation is your friend currently experiencing..?" The Ice Phoenix blankly asked.
"They were in grave danger since a demonic being named 'Sage Emperor' is trying to refine their whole realm. Once that happened, every living thing in their realm would become a cultivation resource for that Demonic being!" Hazuki answered.
"'That realm'? You mean, another realm other than Primal Chaos?!" The Ice Phoenix asked. She immediately understood Hazuki's words.
"That's right. If that realm was really refined, then who knows if the Primal Chaos would be the next. Even the Primordial Azure dragon, Vermilion Bird and the fire Phoenix already agreed in helping that realm." Hazuki said as he brought out the Demon Spirit stones containing the Divine beasts.
The Ice Phoenix was shocked after seeing the Crystal balls containing the Divine Beasts with a higher rank than her.
"Moreover, that realm has a unique energy capable of nourishing your soul. You might even regain a percentage of your strength if you stayed there."
"If you really do regain your powers, then you would be able to bestow an even greater power to the Heretic God's successor." Once again, Hazuki included the 'Heretic God's Successor'. She has placed all of her hope in him after all.
The Ice Phoenix was silent for a few tens of seconds before she agreed. "Okay, I agree. But you must promise to help Primal Chaos if ever it was placed on danger."
"Of course, that's no problem at all. I promise to help Primal Chaos if ever it was placed in danger, if I break my oath then my profound strength will never improve." Well, profound strength was quite useless to him that's why he can easily swear an oath with it on the line.
As soon as Hazuki's words ended, The woman in front of him glowed with shining light. A few seconds later, a soul form was in front of Hazuki and it entered the Demon Spirit stone without resistance.
'Finally. Damn, women really are the toughest to convince! Good thing the Vermilion Bird and Fire Phoenix don't know about that Calamity, or else...' Hazuki thought. If they really knew about the incoming Calamity, then they must be harder to convince too! That'd be too much hassle for two days here in Primal Chaos.
Then Hazuki ascended the Lake.
A minute later, Hazuki's figure emerged from the lake's surface. His clothes were drenched and his hair was also stuck onto his face.
Mu Xuanyin was beside the lake, observing him quietly as he emerged from the lake. She has already stabilized her Level 5 Divine Master Cultivation. The remaining benefits can wait since it wouldn't really disappear.
She stared at Hazuki, who's levitating towards her direction, with complex emotions. Grateful, irritation, and something she doesn't know of entirely. 'Based on his biological aura, he's still 18 years old... How could an 18-year-old achieve such power..? And even though he did 'that' to me earlier... I don't really dislike him since he bestowed me a great gift... Who are you really?'
Hazuki and Long Lan appeared in front of Mu Xuanyin. The former noticed that Mu Xuanyin was blankly staring at him.
Hazuki smirked and appeared in front of Mu Xuanyin and held her chin and raised it slightly causing her eyes to lock onto his. He smiled at her as he said. "Oya, what is this? Did you actually fall in love with me after I awakened your Divine Soul?" then he intentionally let her notice him looking downwards, at her 'certain' something.
Mu Xuanyin's face turned red. Maybe from embarrassment, humiliation or anger, no one really knows. She gritted her teeth as she said harshly. "Don't get full of yourself, Brat!"
Then she flew away and returned from to her Personal Residence.
Hazuki chuckled at Mu Xuanyin's behavior. 'What the heck? Chi Wuyao didn't even take control of her even for a moment?'
Hazuki guessed that maybe Chi Wuyao was quite alert against him since both he and Long Lan was powerful and perceived that she wouldn't be able to control both of them.
Hazuki turned towards Long Lan and said. "Lan, you should enter the sword first. I will let you out once we arrive at my destination."
Long Lan slightly grumbled, displeased. it's only been a day since she was released from this sword. She's already been there for millions of years, why does she still need to enter it?
But she couldn't really do anything than obey and she entered the sword with a displeased face.
After that, Hazuki teleported towards Mu Xuanyin's location to bid her farewell. Even though he has only met her for a day, why would he miss the chance to get closer to a beautiful lady?
Mu Xuanyin was seated in her throne as the realm king when Hazuki arrived. She had her right hand balled into a fist and her right cheek was laying there as she had a blank look and a furrowed brows.
As soon as she noticed Hazuki's presence, Mu Xuanyin frowned even more deeply since she doesn't know how to deal with him. "What are you doing here?"
Hazuki smiled at her and asked. "Did you like my gift?"
"It's not that bad, I guess." Mu Xuanyin replied halfheartedly.
"I already gave you a wonderful gift and you're still angry at me for spanking you? How petty." Hazuki acted like he's offended. He even pouted his lips at her and expressed that he's displeased by her attitude.
Mu Xuanyin's face once again turned red. She was forcing herself to forget about that happening and here he was, mentioning it again in front of her. No one has been able to touch her body other than her sister. And having a man touch her body displeased her greatly, but she couldn't do much about it other than forgive him.
"How impudent! I have already put that behind me since you granted me a favor, but here you're still mentioning it?!" Mu Xuanyin said coldly. Her face was red from either irritation or embarrassment, maybe both.
Even though she was acting coldly towards him, Hazuki couldn't feel anger coming from her at all.
Hazuki said. "Well then, this is goodbye. I hope you can maximize the benefits from what I gave you." then he immediately closed his eyes and called for the Goddess' presence in his mind.
'Goddess, please grant me your presence.' Hazuki immediately disappeared from Mu Xuanyin's sight.
'What? What kind of spatial technique is that..?' Mu Xuanyin thought. Spatial techniques were very rare and they are very hard to cultivate. He disappeared so suddenly even Mu Xuanyin could detect his aura anymore.
Mu Xuanyin stared blankly at the spot where Hazuki was previously.
'Hmm. What is this..? I actually wasn't angry at him even though he touched my body and bottom..?' she thought as she stared at her body. Then suddenly, she remembered Hazuki looking at her phoenix patterned imprint on her chest and blushed. 'Scum!'
......
Hazuki appeared within the Goddess' space and he said. "Lady Goddess, is it possible to bring her alongside me?" Hazuki was talking about Long Lan.
"Since she was already bound to you, why are you still asking me? Where do you want to go now?" The Goddess replied. She allowed it since Long Lan was Hazuki's sword spirit. Long Lan is basically his belonging now.
"Please return me at the Dragon Ball world, Beerus' planet, Lady Goddess." Hazuki said,
"Oh, you're not calling him, 'Beerus-sama' anymore?" The Goddess asked.
Hazuki was frozen as he stiffly laughed and he replied. "In comparison to Lady Goddess, Beerus is nothing but an ant. I'm sorry for calling others 'sama', Lady goddess. I need to do that to avoid them from killing me."
The Goddess chuckled slightly and said. "Don't worry about it, I'm just joking. You can go now."
