Ice Empress vs. Qing Mu

"I was completely blinded by Rage. How could humans and Soul Beast possibly coexist? They are not even the same kind of creature."

Ice Empress felt a pang of regret. Her actions just now had probably lowered Snow Maiden- onna's opinion of her even more. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for Soul Beast and a human to be together!

Even though Ice Empress had lived for over 300,000 years, she could never have imagined that what she thought was impossible had already been precedented and would frequently occur in later generations.

Even the strongest member of their Soul Beast Clan, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, the Lord of Soul Beasts, is one of them.

Unbeknownst to Ice Empress, while she was pondering these matters, the ice beneath her feet had quietly melted, transforming into a vibrant, Grassy Terrain.

"Take my strongest move, and everything that just happened will be wiped clean!"

Although Qing Mu was angry, he was actually quite calm inside.

He knew that with his current strength, even if he used a combination technique, he probably wouldn't be a match for Ice Empress, and he also couldn't possibly kill Ice Empress.

But Qing Mu still chose to do it, because otherwise, Qing Mu's thoughts would not be clear!

Combo Attack: Wood World Descends!

Qing Mu's Soul Power surged, his spirit merged with Venusaur, and he unleashed his strongest move to date: Wood World Descends!

"Da na!!!"

As Venusaur raised its front leg and stomped down, countless dark green vines, resembling towering trees, immediately sprang up from the ground within a radius of several hundred meters.

"That is..."

At this moment, Snow Empress's expression changed slightly; this human's strength was far greater than she had anticipated.

In Snow Empress's eyes, these dark green vines with a metallic sheen were formed from wood-elemental energy compressed to the extreme. The power contained in each vine was enough to injure an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

There are now tens of thousands of such vines within the Ice Valley. With so many enormous vines attacking together, even she has to temporarily avoid their onslaught.

If Ice Empress doesn't take this seriously, they will definitely suffer a great loss from this move!

"This ultimate move!"

Ice Empress Splash quickly to dodge the attacks of the dark green vines, his mind reeling.

Ice Empress hadn't paid much attention at first; in her opinion, even the aura emanating from the Venusaur under Qing Mu's feet was at most equivalent to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

However, she had survived three great tribulations and her cultivation had reached 390,000 years, or even nearly 400,000 years, that of Ferocious Beast.

The difference between an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and Ferocious Beast approaching 400,000 years old is like heaven and earth. Even if this human unleashed a full-force attack, what threat could he possibly pose to her?

But the moment the dark green vines rose, Ice Empress realized she was wrong, terribly wrong!

This human's killing move far exceeded her expectations; if she hadn't dealt with it carefully, she might have perished!

After discovering this, Ice Empress no longer dared to look down on Qing Mu. To be able to use such a powerful move, no matter how Qing Mu did it, he was a true powerhouse.

As for the strong, we should maintain due respect, even if Qing Mu is just a human she used to look down on.

"The Perpetual Ice Domain, Ice Empress's Armor!"

Ice Empress shouted in her heart, and instantly a large amount of cold air emanated from her body, and a layer of ice crystals covered her body.

The chilling air, carrying extreme cold, instantly covered the surface of the dark green vines with a layer of frost, significantly reducing the vines' attack speed.

The Ice Empress is a rare possessor of Ultimate Ice. Although Qing Mu has gained immunity to Ice Attribute after using the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, she will still be affected to some extent when facing attacks at the level of Ultimate Ice.

Ice Empress was taken aback when he saw that the dark green vines around him hadn't frozen into ice blocks.

This... this isn't right!

Wood Attribute attacks should be countered by her, so why are they having less impact than normal attacks?

However, the progress of the competition left her no time to think about these things, because those dark green vines, as tall as trees, were almost upon her.

In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of several hundred meters of Qing Mu had been transformed into a steel forest, with countless dark green vines covering the sky, turning it into a pitch-black expanse.

"Ice Empress's Wrath!"

Seeing the dark green vines that had formed various shapes and were attacking her from all directions, almost sealing off all blind spots, Ice Empress did not hesitate and unleashed the strongest attack she could muster!

A massive beam of emerald light shot out from Ice Empress's mouth, like a breath, sweeping towards the dark green vines!

This emerald green pillar of light was Ice Empress compressing the energy within her body once more, and the cold it contained was far more intense than usual.

Click~

Wherever the emerald beam of light passed, the dark green vines were instantly frozen. Then, using the Ice Empress Ice Empress's Pincer, the two enormous pincers, each adorned with diamond particles, gently tapped, and the dark green vines shattered like blocks of ice.

The combined effect of the domain and the extreme cold of the Ice Empress's Wrath froze even the dark green vines formed from wood-elemental energy, reducing the speed of energy particles to almost zero. Under these circumstances, any special move would lose its power.

Such an attack even surprised Qing Mu. This Ultimate Ice was truly ultimate; it even froze his wood-attribute energy particles.

"Is this Soul Beast that's nearly 400,000 years old? It's indeed much stronger than that Scarlet King!"

Qing Mu sighed slightly. Since he successfully created the Wood World Descends, he had become somewhat arrogant. There were still quite a few stronger individuals in this world than him.

Moreover, this is Douluo Continent, and the game-like mechanics mean you never know where an outrageous skill might come from.

Even now, dealing with Invincible Golden Body, Void, Space Solidification, Teleportation, and Immortal Body would be extremely troublesome for him.

However, even though he had witnessed Ice Empress's strength, Qing Mu would not give up so easily. He had even used the Wood World Descends, and opponents like Ice Empress were rare. He had to take this opportunity to test the limits of his combination technique.

"You can freeze some parts, but can you freeze all of them?"

Qing Mu's gaze sharpened, Venusaur was also affected, beginning to Wood World Descends without reservation!

Almost instantly, Ice Empress Frisk a fact that terrified her.

No matter how she attacks, she can never truly break free from this cage built of dark green vines.

Because those vines seemed endless; no matter how many she froze or broke, new vines would instantly arrive to fill the gaps.

Furthermore, the dark green vines that she had frozen and broken returned to their original state after a brief period of growth and repair, rendering all her attacks ineffective.

However, she couldn't afford not to attack, because these dark green vines were quite powerful. If she allowed them to attack, even with the Ice Empress's Armor, she wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
