Boom—!
Terrifying Ultimate Ice swept outward with the Ice Empress as the center, and all the pouncing Ghostly Clones were completely frozen and annihilated the moment they touched the emerald light.
Even Gui Mei's original body in the distance felt as if it had been struck heavily; a thin layer of frost actually condensed on his elementalized body, and his movements became sluggish.
"A good chance!"
Killing intent flashed in the Ice Empress's eyes as she locked onto the sluggish Gui Mei.
The sword of frost emerged once more.
This strike was as fast as lightning, stabbing straight at Gui Mei's vital points.
Gui Mei felt a fatal threat, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he pushed his Soul Power to the limit, wanting to escape into the Void Realm.
However, at this critical juncture—
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Infinite Arrival!"
In the distance, Light Feather Douluo's calm voice seemed to ring in his ears.
A stream of light seemed to ignore the distance of space, appearing instantly before the Ice Empress's ice sword.
Clang—!
The emperor sword collided with the Light Arrow, producing a deafening roar.
The Light Arrow shattered, but the Ice Empress's killing blow was also successfully obstructed; the sword's momentum shifted, only grazing Gui Mei's elemental body and taking away a large patch of Nether Qi, causing Gui Mei to let out a shrill howl as his aura instantly withered by more than half, though he narrowly kept his life.
"Bastard!"
The Ice Empress was furious; she was on the verge of crippling one person, only to be repeatedly sabotaged by that fellow in the distance.
After this intense exchange, both Yue Guan and Gui Mei had disordered auras and were wounded.
They discovered with horror that in this Extreme North Land, the Ice Empress's strength was even more terrifying than they had estimated.
With the two of them joining forces, they were actually completely suppressed by her, and one of them was almost killed in a counterattack.
The two looked at each other, seeing the fear and determination in each other's eyes.
They couldn't go on like this.
"Old Ghost!"
"Chrysanthemum Guan!"
No words were needed; years of tacit understanding let them instantly understand each other's thoughts.
If they continued a regular battle, they would likely both end up dead here; they had to use their trump card.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei retreated rapidly at the same time, instantly pulling away from the Ice Empress.
The Soul Power on their bodies began to resonate and blend at a strange frequency.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—"
The Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum in Yue Guan's hand and Gui Mei's illusory figure began to emit brilliant golden and deep black light; the two colors of light swirled and intertwined frantically, and a terrifying aura that seemed capable of fixing the universe and freezing time and space began to spread.
The Ice Empress's figure, which was originally in angry pursuit, suddenly stiffened, and a huge sense of crisis originating from the depths of her Soul made her hair stand on end.
She wanted to stop it, but the Fusion process was faster than she could imagine.
"—Two Extremes Stasis Domain!"
Accompanied by the two men's simultaneous roar, gold and silver light suddenly erupted, forming a huge, slowly rotating Domain of light and darkness, instantly enveloping the hundred-meter space centered on the Ice Empress.
"What?!"
The anger on the Ice Empress's face was instantly replaced by incomparable shock.
She found that she could not move; she wasn't frozen or bound, but it was as if the space she was in, along with time itself, had been forcibly pressed with a pause button.
Her thoughts were still running, she could see and perceive, but her body was completely unable to make any response; even her fingertips couldn't tremble once.
The Soul Power in her body was also like solidified ice, unable to be mobilized in the slightest.
This... what power is this?! To actually be able to freeze time and space?!
She watched helplessly as Yue Guan and Gui Mei, after releasing this terrifying Domain, became as pale as paper and their auras plummeted; they had clearly consumed a massive amount of energy, even becoming unable to maintain their Martial Soul Avatar, reverting to human form and half-kneeling on the ground gasping for breath from exhaustion.
But their goal had been achieved.
They had created a unique, 100% hit target for Light Feather Douluo in the distance.
In the distance, Light Feather Douluo's figure appeared in the wind and snow; the Light Feather Divine Bow in his hand was already drawn to a full moon, and all the Soul Power in his body, along with his understanding of the Law of Light, converged frantically toward the arrow gradually taking shape on the bowstring.
That arrow was no longer pure light, but seemed to condense the purest will of "judgment" and "purification" in heaven and earth, emitting a pressure that made the Soul tremble.
"Ninth Spirit Ability—"
Light Feather Douluo's eyes were cold and focused, firmly locked onto the static emerald figure in the Domain.
"God's Punishment: Nirvana!"
He wanted to kill her in one blow, completely ending this Heavenly King of the Extreme North and seizing the Snow Empress's Origin... Meanwhile, deep in the Evil Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire, at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.
Castorice, who was leafing through an ancient tome, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.
A vague vision of the Extreme North Land and the desperate situation faced by the Ice Empress flashed through her mind.
She gently closed the tome and whispered in a voice only she could hear:
"Ronova, help me."
The next moment, an illusory, noble figure emitting an endless aura of deathly silence—Regent of Death Ruonawa—quietly emerged behind her.
Without words, Ronova's phantom moved forward slowly, and like a drop of water merging into the ocean, she completely fused into Castorice's body.
Castorice slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, those originally agile purple eyes had already turned into Ronova's unique Golden Petal Pupils that seemed to see through the cycle of Reincarnation.
An indescribable aura that transcended ordinary death rules began to spread from her body.
With the help of Ronova's power, she could finally more clearly perceive and influence those powerful Nirvana Corpses resurrected by the "myriad karma true blood."
Her gaze seemed to penetrate endless space, falling on the Extreme North Land, falling on Light Feather Douluo who was preparing to shoot his killing arrow.
With a slight thought, through that invisible connection originating from the "myriad karma true blood" of the Origin, an extremely subtle command that could not even be detected by the party involved overrode Light Feather Douluo's original cognition... the Extreme North battlefield.
The arrow of "God's Punishment: Nirvana" on the bowstring was already poised and ready, and Light Feather Douluo's fingertips were about to release.
However, at this very instant, an extremely tiny trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, which even he himself did not notice.
The thought of "killing the Ice Empress" in his mind, under the subtle influence of the myriad karma true blood, quietly turned into "capturing the Ice Empress alive."
This shift in consciousness was minute to the extreme, yet it was directly reflected in this arrow into which he had poured his entire heart and Soul.
"Swish—!!!!"
The arrow of judgment left the string.
It turned into a golden torrent that pierced through heaven and earth; wherever it passed, space was purified into a straight vacuum channel, carrying the power to destroy everything as it shot toward the immobile Ice Empress in the Two Extremes Stasis Domain.
Puchi—!
The sound of a Sharp Weapon piercing through flesh rang out.
The golden arrow did not follow Light Feather Douluo's initial thought of piercing the Ice Empress's skull, but instead fiercely pierced through her heart in the left chest.
