The Might of Taiyin

Even against an opponent whose cultivation was higher than his own, he had taken the initiative to attack. Excellent!

Zhuo Shi watched Tang Wulin's actions and gave a slight nod. He glanced at Wu Changkong and thought, At least he hasn't embarrassed us.

The Second Soul Ring behind Yun Qianyue shimmered. The pure white marble floor beneath both sides swiftly changed, frost flashing across it as a mirrorlike realm of icy frost appeared beneath Tang Wulin and the others.

Second Soul Skill, Moon Cold Pool!

"So cold!" Xu Xiaoyan shivered. Her Martial Soul also had an ice attribute, yet within the area enveloped by this frigid pool, she could feel a bone-piercing chill!

She stared at Yun Qianyue, her eyes full of shock. What a terrifying ice attribute! It had to be at least on the level of Ultimate Ice!

A chilling aura instantly seeped into Tang Wulin and the others, and his charge slowed at once!

At that very moment, Yun Qianzhao also strode forward, raising the Sun God Spear and thrusting it at Tang Wulin! He didn't use a Soul Skill, but the power of the Sun God Spear alone made this simple thrust exert enormous pressure on Tang Wulin.

He had no choice but to forcibly halt his charge and raise his hand to block Yun Qianzhao's attack!

"Clang—"

The Sun God Spear collided with Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw, sending out the ringing clash of metal.

The tremendous force sent Tang Wulin stumbling back several steps. Yun Qianzhao was also knocked back by the impact, but he quickly steadied himself and pressed forward once more.

The Twins had worked hard for years to fight Tang Wulin! They had made themselves their own enemy, honing their skills day and night and refining their combat techniques! Their fighting skills were in no way inferior to Tang Wulin's, despite his experience in numerous matches and fierce battles!

In fact, The Twins were even quicker than Tang Wulin to react!

"Oh my god... The captain's actually being suppressed?"

Xie Xie stared at the battle between Yun Qianzhao and Tang Wulin in disbelief. Yun Qianzhao hadn't even used a Soul Skill yet!

Gu Yue shouted, "What are you standing around for? Get in there!"

"Oh! Right!"

Xie Xie snapped back to his senses and hurriedly gripped the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger. His figure quickly faded from sight as he sprinted toward the battlefield.

As an Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master, Xie Xie didn't rush headlong into the fray. Instead, he harassed the opponents from the outside.

Gu Yue swung the staff in her hand, and a mass of azure light burst forth. Boundless wind swept across the battlefield, aiding Tang Wulin and Xie Xie and making their movements lighter, allowing them to break free of Moon Cold Pool's slowing effect.

"Star Wheel Chain!"

Xu Xiaoyan lifted the Star Wheel Ice Staff high. Frost-shrouded stars appeared behind her.

Chains wreathed in cold air shot out from the stars!

But just then, Yun Qianyue dashed past Yun Qianzhao and Tang Wulin. She hurled the Moon God Spear onto Moon Cold Pool, and everyone except The Twins began to move sluggishly!

"Time Stasis!" Wu Changkong cried in shock.

How could she wield the power of time?!

Yun Qianyue had already reached Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan. Xu Xiaoyan watched her approach but couldn't react. All she could do was stare helplessly as Yun Qianyue closed in!

At that moment, flames flared between Yun Qianyue and Xu Xiaoyan!

The scorching blaze nearly hit her head-on. Yun Qianyue immediately dodged to the side and looked at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue's chest rose and fell. She looked as if it had taken all her strength to break through the time-stilling effect of Yun Qianyue's Martial Soul.

But Yun Qianyue could see clearly that Gu Yue's movements only seemed affected by Time Stasis. She was merely pretending! Time Stasis had barely affected her—and even Moon Cold Pool, which covered the entire battlefield, had only a negligible effect!

Seeing this, Yun Qianyue gave a cold laugh.

An Ice Crystal Laurel sprouted from her shoulder. Its branches trembled, scattering countless leaves! Every leaf contained the power of Taiyin, a chill even more terrifying than Ultimate Ice!

And icy cold was merely the most superficial manifestation of Taiyin's power.

When Frost Fills the Sky spread, the temperature throughout the great hall rapidly plummeted. Even Wu Changkong, whose attribute was itself exceedingly cold, blanched at the terrifying temperature! The pressure changes caused by the low temperature stirred up howling gales!

In the raging wind, even the scorching flames froze!

"Qianyue's Ultimate Ice has grown even stronger! It's frozen even the flames!" Ya Li, Cai Yue'er, and the others exclaimed as they watched.

Xu Xiaoyan's face was even paler. When Yun Qianyue released her power of Taiyin without restraint, Xu Xiaoyan realized that her Martial Soul was utterly suppressed, both in its attribute and in its stellar power!

On this plane, Xu Xiaoyan's incomplete stellar power could hardly contend with Taiyin!

Xu Xiaoyan's hand trembled slightly around the Star Wheel Ice Staff. Gritting her teeth, she unleashed her Second Soul Skill, Starlight Feedback, at Yun Qianyue.

As Xu Xiaoyan released her Soul Skill, Gu Yue also sent wind, fire, thunder, and lightning crashing toward Yun Qianyue!

Amid the dazzling, ever-shifting array of light, Yun Qianyue retrieved the Moon God Spear and swept it toward Xu Xiaoyan, forcing her to raise the Star Wheel Ice Staff to block! Then an Ice Crystal Laurel leaf stuck to Gu Yue.

Countless crystals of frost instantly spread from the leaf, freezing Gu Yue in place.

A cold glint flashed in Yun Qianyue's silver eyes. Gu Yue immediately sensed the power within the ice crystals on her body beginning to run wild!

Third Soul Skill, Ice Soul Jade!

It could detonate the power of Taiyin within others.

Feeling the ice crystals stir, Gu Yue immediately retreated, gathering all her Soul Power to break free of them before they could explode! Of course, she could have relied on her own body to withstand Yun Qianyue's attacks. After all, she was the Lord of Soul Beasts.

But to endure those attacks, she would have to break her seal—and the people watching nearby weren't blind!

After forcing Gu Yue back, Yun Qianyue turned and pressed downward. With the Moon God Spear and her vast power of Taiyin, she forced Xu Xiaoyan to her knees!

"Xiaoyan!"

Seeing this, Xie Xie immediately abandoned his attack on Yun Qianzhao and turned back to help.

The ice crystals Gu Yue had shed exploded in midair. The tremendous shock wave instantly filled the whole battlefield with white mist, hindering Xie Xie's charge. At that moment, a figure flew out of the mist.

It was Xu Xiaoyan.

With her Martial Soul and Soul Power suppressed in every way by Yun Qianyue, she couldn't fight her alone!

And with neither Gu Yue nor Xie Xie able to help her, she could only be defeated by Yun Qianyue!

The white mist blocked the view of the three remaining fighters, but Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue were unaffected! Halfway through his dash back, Xie Xie suddenly sensed a terrifying aura rushing toward him. The Moon God Spear pierced through the white mist and shot straight at him.

Xie Xie was horrified. In his panic, all he could do was raise the Twin Dragon Daggers to block the Moon God Spear.

The power contained in a Heavenly Forging-grade weapon wasn't something Xie Xie could withstand at that moment. His body trembled beneath the terrifying force!

Soon, a gale swept the white mist away!
