Ultimate Ice, Easy Kill

In the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's enormous azure eyes was reflected the strange sight in the sky: the intertwined silhouettes of an icy blue and crimson phoenix.

"Th-This... what kind of monster is this?"

It had lived for a hundred thousand years, seen countless sea soul beasts, and heard of many land soul beasts, yet it had never witnessed such a bizarre sight.

Ice and fire—two utterly opposing attributes—had actually fused together so harmoniously within a single phoenix!

This was simply unbelievable!

Under the suppression of the Ice-Fire Phoenix Domain, the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's Ink Sea Abyss Domain was collapsing at a visible rate.

The seawater churned violently, letting out hissing sounds.

Darkness rapidly melted and scattered beneath the intertwining radiance of ice and fire.

"My domain... is being suppressed?!"

The Demon Octopus Emperor let out a furious roar.

Its proud Ink Sea Abyss was now being effortlessly torn apart like a sheet of thin paper.

Not only had the Ice-Fire Phoenix Domain completely neutralized its suppressive effect, it had begun eroding its domain in reverse!

Xu Feng hovered in the air, icy blue flames dancing in his eyes.

He could clearly sense the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's panic.

The mental fluctuations of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rose and fell violently, its nine brains simultaneously sending out chaotic signals.

"You only realized it now?"

Xu Feng's voice was as calm as still water, yet it carried unquestionable authority.

"Unfortunately, it's too late."

The moment his words fell, the Ice-Fire Phoenix Domain abruptly expanded!

The frozen layer over the sea rapidly thickened, ice crystals spreading upward like sharp blades.

Wherever the crimson flames passed, seawater boiled and vaporized, filling the air with white mist.

Though the two forces possessed opposing attributes, they formed a perfect combination under Xu Feng's precise control.

Ice Seal restricted movement, while blazing flames scorched the body!

The Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor felt an unprecedented threat.

Its three hearts pounded madly, and its nine brains spun at high speed.

This human girl was extraordinary—she was not an existence it could contend against!

It had to escape back into the deep sea!

A trace of cunning flashed through the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's azure eyes, and it suddenly swung a thick tentacle!

The dark purple tentacle, covered in bony spiked suckers, burst through the sea surface. Rather than attacking Xu Feng, it shot straight toward Leng Jun in midair!

A feint?

Xu Feng sneered.

The attack looked fierce, but it was merely a bluff.

The Demon Octopus Emperor's true intention was to use the tentacle attack to draw their attention while its main body quietly submerged and fled into the deep sea.

No matter how powerful its opponents were, it would be difficult for them to use their full strength in the depths of the sea.

Though Leng Jun was shocked by the terrifying strength Xu Feng had displayed, he did not lower his guard.

As the tentacle struck, a cold glint flashed through his eyes!

The seventh soul ring on his body had already lit up with dazzling brilliance. A three-meter-long giant blade of ice crystal condensed in his hand, and he fiercely slashed it down at the incoming tentacle!

Screech—!

The sharp edge formed from Ultimate Ice directly severed the bucket-thick tentacle into two!

No blood spurted from the severed end.

The frigid force had instantly frozen all its blood vessels and muscle tissue.

Half of the tentacle fell onto the sea, striking the ice layer with a dull thud.

"Damn it!"

The Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor roared in pain and fury.

It had not expected this eight-ringed Soul Douluo to possess such sharp attack power.

But it had no time to care about the pain. Its main body had already quietly retreated, intending to dive into the deep sea.

"Trying to run?!"

Xu Feng had long since seen through its intentions.

The instant Leng Jun severed the tentacle, he reacted. The Ice-Fire Phoenix instantly shifted into its Ice Phoenix state.

Ultimate Ice—break through the surface with a single point, and strike with precision!

Centered on the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor, the seawater within a hundred-meter radius instantly solidified.

It was not merely the surface freezing over. The entire area, from the sea surface down to a hundred meters below, transformed into transparent profound ice!

The Demon Octopus Emperor's descent came to an abrupt halt.

Its remaining seven tentacles, its enormous body, and the churning waves around it were all frozen within the massive layer of ice.

Within the ice, its terrified expression and struggling movements could still be seen, but everything had been locked in place.

Leng Jun sucked in a sharp breath.

He considered himself deeply versed in the ice element, yet he had never imagined Xu Feng's ultimate ice could reach such a level.

"Move!"

Xu Feng's voice jolted Leng Jun out of his shock.

"This Soul Beast has three hearts. One is in the center of its body, while the other two are at the bases of its left and right gills. They must be destroyed at the same time to kill it completely!"

Leng Jun nodded heavily as his eighth soul ring lit up.

With the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor completely sealed in ice, this was the best possible moment to deliver a fatal blow.

Just as Leng Jun prepared to attack, a sudden disturbance came from within the ice!

Madness flashed through the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's dark blue pupils.

It realized that it had no way out, that its hundred thousand years of cultivation were about to be destroyed in an instant.

If that was the case, then they would all die together!

"Humans! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

All the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's Soul Power compressed toward its core!

It was going to self-destruct!

The self-destruction of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was powerful enough to destroy everything within several miles.

And out here on the sea, the tsunami caused by the explosion would sweep across an even wider range.

"Trying to self-destruct?"

A cold glint flashed through Xu Feng's eyes.

He focused all his spiritual power on a single point and pierced through the ice directly into the Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's soul core!

A pure spiritual strike, carrying the pressure of the Ice Phoenix's hundred thousand years of cultivation!

Inside the ice, searing pain erupted in all nine of the Demon Octopus Emperor's brains at once.

Then came a coldness that sank deep into its soul!

Its process of compressing Soul Power was forcibly interrupted.

Xu Feng's spiritual power pierced into the Demon Octopus Emperor's soul like an ice spike, instantly freezing its consciousness!

But that was not enough.

Freezing its soul could only temporarily stop the self-destruction. It had to be completely destroyed!

"Explode!"

Xu Feng barked, controlling the ultimate ice power that had seeped into the Demon Octopus Emperor's body and detonating it simultaneously within its seven tentacles!

Boom boom boom boom—

Seven dull explosions rang out in succession.

The seven frozen tentacles exploded at once, turning into ice-crystal fragments that filled the sky!

The Deep Sea Demon Octopus Emperor's massive main body was completely exposed above the sea.

Without the cover of its tentacles, its ugly body, covered in suction-cup scars, was laid bare before the two of them.

"Move!"

Xu Feng shouted.

Leng Jun had long been ready.

As his eighth soul ring shone, hundreds of ice spikes instantly formed in the air.

Each was half a meter long, its tip gleaming with a dark blue chill. Like ten thousand arrows fired at once, they shot toward the Demon Octopus Emperor's exposed body!

Sshh sshh sshh sshh—!

The sounds of ice spikes piercing flesh fell as densely as rain.

With no tentacles to block them, the reinforced piercing ice spikes easily tore through the Demon Octopus Emperor's tough hide and plunged deep into its body.

Even more terrifyingly, every ice spike carried ultimate ice Soul Power. Once inside, it spread rapidly and froze its blood.

Dozens of ice spikes struck each of the Demon Octopus Emperor's three hearts.

The three hearts nearly froze solid at the same time.

Suddenly—

Boom—

An explosion erupted from inside the Demon Octopus Emperor's body.

The icy Soul Power continued to ravage it after destroying its three hearts, blasting the Demon Octopus Emperor apart from within!

Its enormous body broke into three sections, each corresponding to the location of one heart.

No blood sprayed from the severed ends; every drop of liquid had long since frozen.

The three pieces of the corpse floated on the sea, rising and falling gently with the waves.

Shui Bing'er's voice sounded in Xu Feng's mind:

"Phoenix Brother, is the battle over?"

"Mm, it's over. This hundred-thousand-year soul ring belongs to your grandfather."
