Ice Phoenix Awakens, Twin Martial Souls!

Ice Emperor crossed her arms over her chest, making no effort to hide the adoration and admiration in her eyes.

Walking beside her was the current noble and elegant ruler of the Far North, Snow Emperor.

Snow Emperor wore a pristine white gown with a high slit that swayed gently in the wind.

Her long, straight, and flawless legs appeared and disappeared within the folds of the skirt, accentuating her voluptuous and upright figure with an air of immense allure.

At this moment, Snow Emperor's gaze was also locked firmly onto Xue Tianyu atop the mountain peak.

She parted her red lips, her voice as soft as falling snow.

"Indeed, six years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Today happens to be his sixth birthday, the age at which he can awaken his Martial Soul."

Hearing this, Ice Emperor's small face was instantly filled with anticipation.

"This Seat has waited a long time for this day!"

"With his unfathomable foundation, the Martial Soul he awakens this time will surely turn the entire Far North upside down!"

Ice Emperor waved her small fist in excitement, itching to rush over and see for herself.

Snow Emperor nodded in agreement, a glimmer of hope shining in her beautiful eyes.

Over these past six years, the two of them had poured their hearts and souls into Xue Tianyu, and now, the time had finally come to test the results.

Just as the two women were exchanging their expectations.

Xue Tianyu, standing at the summit of the ice peak, saw his expression change abruptly.

He slammed his eyes shut, his sword-like brows knitting tightly together.

Deep within his body, a power that had lain dormant for six full years began to riot without warning.

It was the pure and flawless Ice Phoenix bloodline.

At this moment, it was like an ancient beast just waking from its slumber, rampaging wildly through his limbs and bones.

Violent, scorching heat and extreme, frigid cold energy clashed fiercely within his meridians.

Accompanying this turbulent bloodline, the soul power in his dantian surged wildly like a burst dam.

BOOM!

An aura so powerful it was suffocating erupted from Xue Tianyu, sweeping outward in all directions.

Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, who had been watching from mid-air, were caught off guard and forced back dozens of meters by the sheer pressure.

"What is happening?"

Ice Emperor exclaimed, her emerald eyes wide with shock.

The two women hurriedly steadied themselves and focused their gaze.

They saw the air around Xue Tianyu distorting, as tangible ice-blue soul power transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the heavens.

The wind and snow of the Far North for a hundred miles around came to a complete standstill in that instant.

Immediately after, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to respond to a fatal summons, pouring madly into that pillar of light.

And within that violent torrent of soul power, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor felt a terrifying aura that made their very souls tremble.

It was the absolute suppression of a supreme bloodline.

No matter how high their cultivation was, in the face of this aura, they felt an urge to go weak at the knees and bow in worship.

"Such terrifying pressure..."

"Is this the true majesty of the Ice Phoenix bloodline?"

Snow Emperor's breathing became rapid, her high chest heaving violently.

Ice Emperor bit her red lip, struggling desperately against the soul-deep pressure, her voice trembling.

"It's too strong—he hasn't even fully manifested his Martial Soul, and I can already barely breathe!"

Just as the two women were filled with shock and awe.

At the center of the light pillar, the turbulent Ice Phoenix bloodline within Xue Tianyu finally reached its awakening.

Simultaneously, the peerless treasure hidden deep within his bloodline—the Ice Heaven Snow Lotus—also stirred.

The two resonated, instantly merging into one.

SCREE!

A crisp, piercing phoenix cry tore through the sky of the Far North.

Xue Tianyu snapped his eyes open, two beams of tangible blue divine light shooting forth.

Behind him, a phantom of an Ice Phoenix with a wingspan of over a hundred feet, forged entirely from frigid ice crystals, emerged with a roar.

The Ice Phoenix held its head high, its world-dominating arrogance forcing all things to submit.

And beneath Xue Tianyu's feet, a massive, crystalline Ice Heaven Snow Lotus slowly began to bloom.

One above, one below, reflecting each other's brilliance.

"Twin Martial Souls!"

"Heavens, it's actually the Twin Martial Souls of the Ice Phoenix and the Ice Heaven Snow Lotus!"

Seeing this scene, Snow Emperor felt her beautiful face flush with excitement.

Ice Emperor covered her mouth with both hands, staring in utter disbelief.

Innate Full Soul Power, level ten!

Without any meditation or cultivation, he had reached the limit of level ten the moment he awakened.

But this was far from over.

Xue Tianyu simply stood quietly in place.

There was no need to hunt any soul beasts in the Far North.

The terrifying foundation within his body operated automatically, and a ring of ink-black light slowly rose from beneath his feet.

First soul ring, self-condensed!

This pitch-black soul ring radiated the intense aura of a ten-thousand-year soul beast, making him appear even more mysterious and unfathomable.

"A ten-thousand-year soul ring?"

"His first soul ring is actually at the ten-thousand-year level?"

Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor exchanged glances, both seeing extreme shock in each other's eyes.

Such talent and foundation completely subverted their understanding.

Xue Tianyu closed his eyes, carefully sensing the gift brought by the soul ring.

The first soul skill, Frost Sword Qi!

By simply raising his hand or flicking his finger, he could release long-range Frost Sword Qi attacks with immense destructive power.

At the same time, a portion of Xue Tianyu's Ice Phoenix talent awakened.

The first talent, Nirvana Ice.

This was a defensive ability pure to the extreme.

As long as he had enough soul power, he could condense ice without limit to form an absolute protective barrier, blocking all external attacks.

And that Ice Heaven Snow Lotus granted him his second talent.

Eternal Life!

This talent was like an inexhaustible spring, allowing him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all times and automatically convert it into pure soul power.

As long as he did not leave this world, his soul power was theoretically infinite.

Feeling the changes within his body, Xue Tianyu felt a surge of secret joy.

An ultimate defense that made him invincible as long as he had soul power, combined with a super charger that provided infinite mana.

This was a god-tier configuration that maxed out his survival capabilities.

As long as he didn't want to die, he could stand there and let others attack him, and he would still be able to exhaust them to death.

Withdrawing his released aura, the Ice Phoenix phantom behind him and the Ice Heaven Snow Lotus beneath his feet gradually faded into his body.

Xue Tianyu exhaled a puff of white mist and turned to look at the two women in the distance.

Unable to suppress her inner restlessness any longer, Ice Emperor flashed forward and landed impatiently in front of Xue Tianyu.

She circled him twice, her large eyes darting around.

"Little guy, you're just too monstrous."

"Your first soul ring is ten-thousand-year level; my hands are itching!"

"Come, let's trade a few blows. Let this Emperor test exactly what level your abilities have reached."

Ice Emperor was a battle maniac through and through; facing such a peerless genius, she simply couldn't suppress the urge to spar.
