Although she had avoided death, the terrifying destructive energy contained within the God's Penalty arrow had still instantly severely damaged the Ice Empress's heart meridians and the majority of her life force.
"Ughhh—!"
The intense pain and the sensation of her life force rapidly ebbing away caused the Ice Empress to let out a piercing, incomparable scream.
The effect of the Two Extremes Stasis Domain also reached its limit at this moment, shattering with a boom.
The backlash from the shattering of the Domain caused Yue Guan and Gui Mei to simultaneously spit out large mouthfuls of blood, completely losing their combat ability and collapsing to the ground.
As for the Ice Empress, the moment the Domain disappeared, relying on the tenacious life force of a Vicious Beast and her extreme rage, she forcibly suppressed her injuries.
"ROAR—!!!"
A roar that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness shook the heavens.
Emerald green light soared into the sky.
The Ice Empress's figure expanded and transformed rapidly within the light, instantly revealing her true form—an Ice Jade Empress Scorpion over ten meters long, with a body as brilliant as imperial green jade, radiating endless majesty and terror.
The golden arrow piercing her heart looked exceptionally glaring on her massive true form, but at this moment, the Ice Empress had been thoroughly incited with the ferocity of an overlord of the Extreme North.
"You all deserve to die!!!"
Violent mental force fluctuations swept in all directions, and her pair of gigantic emerald green scorpion eyes were filled with madness and destruction.
"Eternal Black Ice Prison."
This was her strongest strike, burning her Origin.
With her massive scorpion body as the center, the energy of Ultimate Ice erupted without reservation.
The earth tore apart amidst the roaring, and countless massive ice spikes, several meters thick and sharp as divine weapons, broke through the ground like a forest, stabbing straight into the firmament.
The snowflakes in the sky instantly solidified, then shot toward the ground indiscriminately like billions of ice arrows.
Within a radius of several kilometers, it instantly transformed into a deathly Ice Prison of absolute zero.
Light Feather Douluo, who had just arrived nearby, saw his expression change drastically as he erected a Soul Power shield and retreated rapidly.
And the already weak Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were simply unable to withstand this devastating eruption.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Dense sounds of explosions and shattering ice crystals rang out, interspersed with the short, piercing screams of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
When they were forcibly dragged out of the thicket of ice spikes by Light Feather Douluo, they were already at their last gasp, their bodies broken and ruined, barely recognizable as human.
When this terrifying attack gradually subsided, all that remained in place was a bottomless giant pit filled with hideous ice spikes, along with an unceasing, lingering, and intense cold.
The massive figure of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion had long since vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a scene of devastation and an aura of the Ice Empress so dense it could not be dissipated, interfering with all tracking methods.
Light Feather Douluo, holding the half-dead Yue Guan and Gui Mei, hovered in mid-air. Looking at the desolate land before him, for the first time, a look of helplessness and annoyance appeared on his handsome face.
He rubbed his brow and muttered to himself:
"Oh no, this is bad... The Ice Empress got away. Big Brother won't blame me, will he..."
He tried to sense the Ice Empress's trail, but the scene was filled with the Ice Empress's violent residual energy and blood aura; it was impossible to distinguish which direction she had fled in.
"Forget it..."
Light Feather Douluo sighed, glanced at the two "wrecks" he was carrying, and then rubbed his smooth chin.
"She was hit by my arrow 'God's Penalty: Annihilation', her heart was pierced, and her Origin was eroded by my power... Unless there's an accident, she shouldn't live much longer, right?"
As if trying to convince himself, he whispered:
"Yeah, the Ice Empress is dead for sure. This should count as... completing the mission, right?"
