A sword's cry through the nine heavens! The Ice Empress appeared and attacked Lin Sheng

Late at night, at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Lin Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely sitting on the eaves of the highest spire in the academy. The view from here was excellent, offering a panoramic view of most of the bustling lights of Heaven Dou City.

"..."

And beside him.

Snow Empress's delicate body, as if forged from ice and snow, emitted a faint glow, and her silver hair appeared even more ethereal under the moonlight.

Lin Sheng turned his head to look at Snow Empress's aloof and stunningly beautiful profile, and asked softly.

"How is this human world? Compared to your Extreme North Land, where nothing but snow and monotonous whiteness reigns supreme, doesn't this place have a warmer, more human touch?"

Snow Empress gently closed her eyes, the cool night breeze ruffling her hair.

She stretched out her slender, jade-like fingers, as if wanting to touch the distant lights of countless homes. After a moment, a very faint yet extremely beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

"It definitely has more warmth. Although the Extreme North Land is sacred, it is also desolate. Life here is chaotic yet wonderful. I love the colors here."

"But... I don't like humans with eyes full of greed. But, Lin Sheng, you're an exception."

Lin Sheng smiled faintly.

He could hear the sincerity in Snow Empress's words.

As the Lord of the Far North, she probably longs for a place more than anyone else...

It allows Soul Beast to enjoy a peaceful place.

The two remained silent for a moment, with only the sound of the wind in the air.

Snow Empress turned her head, a lively glint in her sky-blue eyes, burning with intense fighting spirit.

"I remember you mentioned in your diary that you wanted to spar with me on Sword intent?"

Lin Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

A burning fighting spirit, as intense as magma, surged in his eyes!

"Haha, that's right! I wonder if my Zhu Xian Sword Intent can shake your Emperor Sword?"

"Come with me."

With a flicker, the Snow Empress transformed into a streak of blue light and shot straight towards the wasteland outside the city.

Lin Sheng followed without hesitation.

Heaven Dou City.

This is a desolate valley, full of jagged rocks and barren of vegetation.

"Boom--!"

Snow Empress stood in mid-air, and the air around her rapidly crystallized in that instant.

It contains an endless sense of chilling cold.

"Lin Sheng, please make your move."

The Snow Empress's voice was cold and stern, and a long sword, crystal clear and seemingly forged from ten thousand years of profound ice, slowly condensed in her palm!

"Laugh--!"

A flurry of sword light swept across the land.

Lin Sheng stood in the center of the valley, facing the chilling aura that could almost seal one's soul, and arrogantly spread his arms wide.

"I couldn't ask for more!"

"Boom--!"

With a low roar from Lin Sheng, five blood-red halos rose up from beneath his feet like a tsunami!

Those are five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Each red ring was engraved with twisted Daoist runes, exuding a suffocating aura of slaughter.

"What a terrifying Soul Ring ratio..."

Snow Empress exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the Zhuxian Sword, as black as ink yet radiating a dark red killing intent, appeared in Lin Sheng!

"..."

Lin Sheng was surrounded by the Dao Power from the Book of Heaven, and the faint sounds of gods and demons wailing could be heard from the void behind him.

Snow Empress's sky-blue eyes suddenly narrowed, and a storm raged in her heart.

"Is this the Zhuxian Sword?"

The Snow Empress had never seen such deadly sword energy.

If her Emperor Sword represents the ultimate coldness and purity, then the Zhuxian Sword in Lin Sheng represents pure destruction!

"Snow Empress, get ready!"

As Lin Sheng took a step, the valley floor cracked!

The Zhuxian Sword unleashed a hundred-foot-long jet-black sword aura, cleaving through the swirling snow and wind, heading straight for the Snow Empress!

The Snow Empress 'Emperor Sword blocked the attack, and the Sword intent around him also condensed.

However, just as these two world-destroying forces were about to collide...

A dazzling emerald green light streaked across the sky like a meteor, sweeping in with overwhelming violence and killing intent!

"Damn humans! How dare they attack Xue'er?!"

"Get out of here!"

A sharp shout rang out like thunder, followed by the appearance of a giant, phantom crab claw formed from extremely green ice crystals.

It brought with it a chilling wave that tore through the void, and slammed down hard on Lin Sheng's head!

"Boom--!"

That's the power of Ultimate Ice!

It even froze space!

Lin Sheng was startled. He pulled back the Zhuxian Sword abruptly, creating a thick, dazzling sword curtain in front of him.

"Bing'er?!"

The Snow Empress exclaimed in surprise and quickly gathered a vast amount of ice and snow power to block the attack, thus preventing Lin Sheng from being injured.

As the smoke cleared, a woman of equal beauty, dressed in a bright green short skirt and with a touch of heroic spirit between her brows, stood in front of the Snow Empress.

Her emerald green eyes were fixed on Lin Sheng.

It was filled with murderous intent!

"Bing'er..."

Snow Empress grabbed the woman's shoulder.

"What are you doing here? Stop it!"

"Xue'er! I knew humans weren't any good!"

Ice Empress anxiously examined Snow Empress from head to toe, and shouted somewhat exasperatedly.

"If this human is going to harm you, why are you protecting him?"

"Let me kill this guy!"

After saying that, Ice Empress was about to rush forward again to fight Lin Sheng to the death.

Lin Sheng was also a bit confused at this point.

He looked at the slightly shorter woman, and his eye twitched slightly.

Ice Empress?

"This sparring is really dangerous..."

"Bing'er, calm down!"

Snow Empress rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and forcibly pulled Ice Empress behind her.

"I was just sparring with Lin Sheng on Sword intent. He... is not an enemy, he is my friend."

"A friendly exchange?"

Ice Empress looked at Snow Empress suspiciously, his gaze lingering for a moment on the five dazzling red Soul Ring at Snow Emperor's feet.

"Xue'er, don't be fooled by him."

"Look at his Soul Ring, how many of our clansmen did he have to kill to accumulate that? And that sword..."

Snow Empress smiled helplessly, gave Lin Sheng an apologetic look, and then softly explained to Ice Empress.

"Lin Sheng, are you alright?"

Lin Sheng smiled and shook his head.

The Snow Empress turned to the Ice Empress and asked, "But Bing'er Empress, how did you get here?"

Ice Empress lowered their heads somewhat embarrassed.

She whispered...

"I was just worried about you... I was really worried about you coming to the human world. Now that you're alright, then I'll..."

As she spoke, she continued to scrutinize Lin Sheng from head to toe with her large, bright green eyes.

Is this the human that Xue'er made a special trip to see?

It's just so-so!

"Xue'er, did you come to the human world just to find this guy? He doesn't seem to have anything special about him."

Lin Sheng was speechless.

Snow Empress smiled helplessly and patted Ice Empress's hand, "Alright, Bing'er, Lin Sheng and I are really just preparing for a friendly spar."

"How about... you wait over there for a bit?"

Ice Empress nodded and stepped aside. Lin Sheng was both amused and exasperated. "I almost got killed in this sparring match!"

"I'm sorry, Bing'er is a bit too hasty."

Snow Empress smiled apologetically, indicating that Lin Sheng could prepare to make his move again!
