Shaja's body erupted with golden light, like the sun breaking through the clouds. As her Sixteen-Winged Holy Light unfurled their holy light, they dyed the entire dark glacier sky with a holy golden glow. The air currents from her flapping wings stirred up a gale, carrying a world-destroying holy power. Her figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt, the sound of it tearing through the air deafening. The Holy Sword in her hand revealed its sharp edge, its cold light so piercing that it was impossible to open one's eyes. Before she even got close, the ice mist within several feet around her was forcibly torn apart and evaporated by the pressure of the Holy Sword.
Faced with this Thunderous Might and unstoppable charge, the Emperor of the Extreme South Puppet, standing like a mountain, remained indifferent, its cold beastly eyes showing no ripples. It didn't even change its posture, but simply slowly raised its thick, icy arm and casually waved it.
With just a casual wave, an extremely terrifying chill suddenly surged out from its body, sweeping across the entire Ice Mountain region like a tsunami. Wherever it passed, the void crackled and sizzled, the air instantly solidified into translucent ice crystals, and scattered Ice Shards and floating ice mist were all frozen into indestructible ice blocks. Even the thick ice field beneath its feet was cracked with spiderweb-like fissures by this chilling aura.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of ice, tens of feet high and several miles wide, suddenly surged up. Sharp Ice Blade condensed on the Ice Sky Curtain stretching across the sky and earth. With the power to crush everything, it fiercely covered Shaja. Wherever it passed, Ice Mountain collapsed and ice fields shattered, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.
Shaja's eyes were as sharp as blades, showing no sign of retreat. The Sixteen-Winged Holy Light surged to its peak, and she suddenly raised the Golden Holy Sword above her head, divine power pouring into it like rivers flowing into the sea. The golden light on the sword was so dazzling that it actually overwhelmed the icy blue of the ice waves...
"Cut!"
A clear shout resounded through heaven and earth, shaking the glaciers and changing the color of the wind and clouds. With a burst of strength in her arm, the Holy Sword, carrying the momentum of splitting mountains and seas and severing ice and snow, fiercely cleaved towards the towering ice wave!
"Clang!!!"
The deafening clang of metal striking metal was deafening. In that instant, the heavens and earth seemed to shatter under the impact of this strike. The moment the Holy Sword collided with the icy wave, the holy golden light tore through the icy blue ice curtain like a sharp blade. The surging ice wave, like a tsunami, was actually cleaved open with a straight, massive slit by this single sword strike. The golden light pierced through the ice curtain, shooting straight into the sky and tearing a gap in the dim heavens.
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
The deafening roar continued to echo, causing all the Forbidden Curse Mage present to experience a surge of qi and blood, making them unsteady on their feet. The Ice Sky Curtain, tens of feet high, was completely torn apart and collapsed in the middle under the sharpness of the Holy Sword. The shattered ice fragments fell like a torrential rain, each fragment weighing a thousand pounds. They struck the ice surface with a piercing, crisp sound, stirring up a sky full of ice mist and Ice Shards. The ice field was riddled with holes, and even the distant Ice Mountain were shaken and teetered on the verge of collapse.
Without stopping, Shaja used the gap in the shattered ice curtain to burst out from the giant crevice like an arrow. The golden light around her intensified, and her holy Holy Sword was aimed Emperor of the Extreme South Puppet. Her charge became increasingly fierce, and the holy power around her distorted the air, giving her opponent no chance to breathe. It seemed that she intended to break through the opponent's defenses and severely injure Puppet Shadow with one blow.
Even though his casual strike was completely shattered, the Puppet Shadow of the Emperor of the South Pole remained unmoved. His cold, beastly eyes shifted slightly, landing on Shaja. There was no anger, only a faint scrutiny. It was as if he were looking at an ant that overestimated its own strength, yet found it somewhat amusing.
For it, that wave of ice was nothing more than a casual gesture, requiring less than a tenth of its power; it was no wonder it was shattered.
But deep down it already knew that the humans who had broken into its Ice Kingdom this time were vastly different from those overconfident intruders from a few years ago.
However, this "vast difference" is nothing more than a slightly larger ant to it; it still cannot cause any trouble and cannot escape the fate of being frozen and crushed.
"Whoosh!!!"
Shaja seized the opportunity to pursue and close in. She raised her Golden Greatsword high into the sky once more, her divine power condensed to its limit. The golden light on the sword almost pierced the dark sky. A holy sword aura several meters wide materialized out of thin air, carrying the power to burn away all Evil Spirits. With the power to split mountains and shatter seas and destroy the world, it swiftly slashed down towards the Emperor of the Extreme South Puppet. Wherever the sword aura passed, the ice field melted, the void trembled, and even the extreme cold was burned away.
"Bang!!!"
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, causing the glaciers to tremble violently. The entire Antarctic seemed poised to collapse under this single blow. The Holy Sword, imbued with sword energy, slammed down upon the ice wall in front of the Emperor of the Extreme South Puppet. This ice wall was incredibly thick, a full ten zhang in diameter, formed by the Emperor of the South Pole using his own primordial ice power. Its hardness far surpassed any refined iron in the world. Yet, even so, under this earth-shattering attack, it was forcibly cleaved into fine cracks, Ice Shards shards falling in a flurry. The ice wall trembled violently, threatening to shatter at any moment.
However, this attack ultimately failed to break through the ice wall's defenses, and it didn't even scratch the Emperor of the Extreme South Puppet. It only left a few cracks, like a mere tickle.
The Emperor of the Extreme South Puppet's eyes turned cold, and the extreme cold aura around him suddenly surged. He swung his arm again, and countless Ice Element Origin Power gathered frantically, instantly condensing into hundreds of incredibly thick ice spikes.
Each ice spike was several feet thick and several feet long, its entire body a deep blue, gleaming with a chilling sharpness. A bone-chilling cold aura swirled around the ice spikes, and they hurtled towards Shaja like a torrential rain, densely packed, blocking all her angles of evasion. The sound of the ice spikes tearing through the air was deafening, and wherever they passed, the void was frozen with marks.
"Shuashuashua!!!"
Shaja's expression hardened, not daring to be careless in the slightest. She wielded the Holy Light Sword swiftly, golden sword light weaving into an impenetrable defensive barrier. With each flash of the sword light, crisp "crack" sounds rang out as the Golden Light Holy Sword precisely struck the ice spikes. The shattered ice spikes instantly turned into countless Ice Shards, scattering across the ground. Even so, the ice spikes' attack remained fierce, the aftershocks causing Shaja's figure to falter slightly, a faint golden light spilling from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she too had been somewhat impacted.
"Splash!!!"
Just as Shaja was fully engaged in defending against the attack of the Emperor of the South Pole Ice's Puppet Shadow, and her figure faltered slightly, a black streak of light rushed in from afar. Its speed was extreme, carrying with it an incomparably violent Black Annihilation lightning power. As the lightning flashed, it cleaved the void with tiny cracks. The violent power even forcibly dispelled the surrounding extreme cold aura, and crashed into the ice wall that Shaja had cleaved!
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
A deafening roar erupted once more, more violent than any previous collision. The ferocious power of the Black Annihilation Thunder instantly swept across the entire ice wall. Purple and black lightning intertwined and raged wildly. The thick ice wall, which had only been scratched by Shaja, shattered in large areas under the impact of this lightning. Cracks spread wildly like a spider web, and the ice wall trembled violently, groaning under the unbearable weight.
"Splash!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the ten-zhang-thick ice wall shattered completely under the impact of the Thunder Power. Huge chunks of ice flew everywhere, each creating a huge crater upon impact. The once impregnable defensive barrier vanished instantly...
