Extreme Power
Howl—
Accompanied by a clear, icy roar, snowflakes suddenly began drifting across the sky. They swirled violently, gathering from every direction, condensing layer upon layer until they formed a pure white figure.
It was the Snow Emperor.
When Ji Xiao saw her appear, his pupils contracted slightly.
He had already heard from Yan Shaozhe that Yuhao possessed the ability to summon the Snow Emperor. But witnessing her manifestation with his own eyes still shocked him.
More importantly, from the aura emanating from her body, he could not determine whether this was merely a projection—or a true soul entity with real combat power.
"Snow Empress, don't hold back later. The opponent this time is a Titled Douluo."
Yuhao spoke calmly to the Snow Emperor he had summoned.
Hearing his words, the Snow Emperor shot him an icy glare and said coldly,
"If I were in my prime, forget this mere Titled Douluo—even that black dragon over there would not dare stand before me."
The "black dragon" she referred to was Long Xiaoyao, who was currently battling Du Bushi in the distance.
Due to the suppressive aura of Yuhao's Golden Dragon bloodline, even the level ninety-nine Long Xiaoyao could not fully unleash his strength, forcing him into an evenly matched struggle.
"You said it yourself—that was in your prime. Enough talk. Help me."
Yuhao waved his hand impatiently. He had no time to argue. The moment his words fell, he rushed forward.
Although Snow Emperor was displeased with Yuhao's tone, her hands moved without hesitation.
With a slight flick of her fingers, countless strands of ice and snow condensed into a massive tornado, roaring toward Ji Xiao in midair.
The ice-and-snow tornado howled as it spun, each snowflake within it as sharp as a blade. The air filled with the piercing sound of slicing wind.
Clearly, Snow Emperor did not hold back in this strike.
Though she appeared unconvinced on the surface after losing her previous clash with Yuhao, deep down she had already acknowledged his strength.
Her pride simply refused to let her admit it openly.
Yuhao did not care about her attitude—as long as she obeyed.
Facing the incoming blizzard, Ji Xiao raised an eyebrow. He opened his mouth and unleashed a dense brown light wave, shattering the ice-and-snow tornado instantly.
After all, Snow Emperor could currently display only the strength of a seven-ring Soul Sage. Against a true Titled Douluo like Ji Xiao, there remained a significant gap.
But her attack had never been meant to defeat him.
It was a feint.
The real strike came from Yuhao.
While Ji Xiao's attention was drawn to the tornado, Yuhao had already appeared behind him.
Without using any soul skill, he threw a single punch.
Yet the instant the punch pierced the air, Ji Xiao's expression changed dramatically.
Through the vibration of the surrounding air alone, he could sense the terrifying force behind it.
Bang!
A deep explosion resounded.
Even though Ji Xiao transformed his back into his martial spirit's true defensive state at the last moment, the violent power erupted fully, blasting him from the sky and slamming him into the ground in a cloud of dust.
"How can his strength be this overwhelming?!"
Feeling the intense pain radiating from his spine, Ji Xiao could not help but exclaim.
If he had reacted even a fraction of a second slower and failed to activate his sixth soul skill defensively, his spine might have shattered from that single blow.
He had fought Yuhao head-on before. While Yuhao's physical strength had already been formidable then, it was nowhere near this level.
This punch was on an entirely different plane.
Ji Xiao quickly realized the reason.
Yuhao's dual martial spirit state had pushed his physical strength to a completely new height.
But what Ji Xiao did not know was that Yuhao had not yet used his full power.
Yuhao's Ice Emperor Dragon Scorpion martial spirit originated from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion after merging with the Golden Dragon King's power and undergoing evolution.
It possessed dual ultimate attributes—Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Strength.
And because Yuhao carried two martial spirits, his amplification stacked upon itself.
Add to that the Golden Dragon Body, dragon scales, and his surging bloodline power—
It was no surprise that a seemingly ordinary punch had blasted a Titled Douluo away.
Just as Ji Xiao steadied himself and prepared to release another soul skill, a layer of ice suddenly formed beneath his feet, instantly freezing him in place.
At the same time, snow once again began to fall.
One of Snow Emperor's Three Ultimate Skills—
Emperor's Chill Sky · Snowless Radiance.
A terrifying domain-type soul skill descended.
Even Ji Xiao, a Titled Douluo, felt his movements suppressed within the domain.
By this point, Yuhao had completely adapted to his explosive new strength.
Excitement surged through him.
At the same time, he activated the soul skill granted by the first soul ring of his evolved Ice Emperor Dragon Scorpion—
Ice Emperor Dragon's Pride.
This was a powerful arm-strength amplification skill.
Under multiple layers of enhancement, Yuhao's strength climbed to a frightening level.
He even felt as if crushing a ten-thousand-year soul beast barehanded would not be difficult.
But such explosive power placed enormous strain on his body.
Originally capable of lasting five minutes, he now had barely one minute remaining.
Without wasting another second, Yuhao spread the golden dragon wings behind his back. Radiant golden light enveloped his entire body.
Golden Dragon Flash!
In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light and arrived before Ji Xiao almost simultaneously with the blink of an eye.
He threw another punch.
Ji Xiao was already suppressed by the Snow Emperor's domain, and Yuhao's speed was nearly instantaneous.
There was no time to react.
With a thunderous boom, Ji Xiao was blasted away once more.
Pfft!
Midair, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
Several ribs in his chest shattered, the impact comparable to being struck by a ten-thousand-year soul beast head-on.
One punch.
And a Titled Douluo suffered grievous injury.
This demonstrated how terrifying Yuhao's power had become.
Yet before Ji Xiao even hit the ground, a graceful white figure appeared behind him.
A chill swept across the battlefield.
A jade-like palm silently pressed against Ji Xiao's back.
Emperor's Palm · Great Cold Without Snow.
Because Snow Emperor had become Yuhao's Spirit, he could wield her three ultimate techniques as well.
During the Soul Master Elite Tournament, Yuhao had once used this move to severely injure Dai Yueheng.
But when executed by Snow Emperor herself, its power was even greater.
Not only could she exert Soul Sage–level strength, but this was her own ultimate art—an ability she had cultivated and perfected over countless years.
The palm struck.
Even Ji Xiao felt his body rapidly freezing, his life force eroding under the chilling invasion.
Though his immense soul power allowed him to resist, the damage was undeniable.
At that exact moment—
A golden streak flashed once more, appearing directly before Ji Xiao's face.
It was Yuhao.
His expression was utterly calm.
Soul power, spiritual power, and surging blood energy merged into one. His entire being fused with the surrounding world.
Clearly—
He had entered the state of unity between man and nature.
