Kong Deming's Ferocity, His Overbearing Spatial Abilities!

Kong Deming, accompanied by Xu Tianyao, had long since appeared silently behind the two.

The Silver Moon Martial Soul is the king among space-type Martial Souls.

In an expansive region like the Far North, once Kong Deming locked onto a target's aura, it was nearly impossible to shake off his pursuit unless one possessed strength at the Limit Douluo level.

Therefore, from the moment the two Evil Soul Masters snatched the Snow Empress embryo, their every move had actually been under the watchful eyes of Kong Deming and Xu Tianyao.

Xu Tianyao's gaze fell upon the God Sealing Platform.

Inside the God Sealing Platform, a mass of ice-blue light floated quietly.

Even through layers of seals, a source aura of ice attributes, pure to the extreme, continued to drift outward.

Kong Deming also stared at that glow.

With his experience, he could naturally judge that this was by no means a source aura that an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could possess.

"At the very least, it is at the Beast level..."

A strange glint flashed in the depths of Kong Deming's eyes. For a being of that level to abandon hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation and choose to undergo human transformation, it was clear they had reached the end of their rope.

However, compared to the Snow Empress, he was more concerned about something else.

That was the God Sealing Platform.

The construction of that Level 9 Soul Tool was incredibly ingenious.

With Kong Deming's discerning eye, a single glance was enough to confirm it.

This object definitely did not originate from Mingde Hall.

There wasn't even any relevant record of it within the Sun Moon Empire's official archives.

What did this mean?

It meant that within the Holy Spirit Cult, they also possessed high-level Soul Tool technology.

Or even... that the Empire itself had likely been infiltrated, with a vast amount of technology stolen by them.

Thinking of this, Kong Deming's gaze gradually turned cold.

The Holy Spirit Cult seemed to have been acting more and more brazenly these past few years.

Just then, the two Evil Soul Masters ahead were still searching for treasures in the ruins of the ice palace.

They had no inkling that death and danger had already quietly descended.

Kong Deming slowly took a step forward, his aura released without a sound.

In the depths of the dim ice palace, a bright, silvery moon slowly rose.

The soft moonlight spilled down, illuminating the gloomy ice palace.

The two Evil Soul Masters, busy looting treasures, naturally sensed the anomaly, and their bodies stiffened abruptly.

A hair-raising sense of crisis surged into their minds.

"Something's wrong!"

"Someone's here!"

The two roared almost simultaneously; their Titled Douluo-level combat instincts allowed them to sense the danger immediately.

The brown-haired man reacted even faster, stowing the God Sealing Platform into his storage Soul Tool the moment he turned around.

However, it was a step too late.

Kong Deming's aged voice sounded slowly.

"Only noticing now?"

"Too late."

As the words fell, the silver moonlight enveloped the entire ice palace.

Space seemed to have been frozen solid.

The expressions of the two Evil Soul Masters changed drastically, for they discovered in terror that they had lost control of their bodies.

It wasn't just their bodies; even the circulation of their Soul Power had become incredibly sluggish.

It was as if the space in every direction had transformed into an invisible cage, trapping them firmly in place.

Space Lockdown!

One of Kong Deming's signature techniques.

Facing space power of this level, even a Titled Douluo could not break free.

"Break for me!"

The brown-haired man roared madly, the terrifying Soul Power within his body surging wildly.

Nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—rose one after another.

The other man also desperately channeled his Soul Power, and terrifying fluctuations swept through the surroundings.

The ice palace trembled incessantly.

The spatial cage even exhibited a faint ripple.

And at that very moment, the silver moon in the sky had completely taken form.

That was no illusory phantom, but a massive silver moon with a diameter of several dozen meters.

Vast moonlight poured down like a galaxy, and a terrifying pressure descended instantly.

The pupils of the two Evil Soul Masters constricted violently; they sensed the aura of death emanating from that silver moon.

"Invincible Barrier!"

With almost no hesitation, the two simultaneously activated the life-saving Soul Tools on their bodies.

Golden light shields rose abruptly.

The next second, the silver moon crashed down with a roar.

BOOM!

A deafening roar resounded throughout the entire Underground Ice Palace.

The earth cracked, the ice walls collapsed, and countless shards of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice turned into a sky full of debris, surging into the air.

A violent shockwave swept in all directions, as if the entire ice palace had suffered a catastrophic disaster.

Xu Tianyao even felt the ground beneath his feet shaking violently.

When the ice dust settled, the once magnificent ice palace had been completely reduced to ruins.

Two disheveled figures were buried amidst the broken walls and rubble.

They were bathed in blood, their limbs mostly broken, and their auras were incredibly withered.

Had the Invincible Barrier not blocked the most lethal blow for them, that silver moon just now would have been enough to crush them to death on the spot.

However, before the two could even catch their breath, Kong Deming had already raised his right hand again, and a new round of attacks struck once more.

Spatial rifts suddenly tore open in front of the two.

Within these fissures, it was as if countless invisible blades were slicing through the void.

Kong Deming's control and utilization of space were truly peerless across the continent.

Yet these two Evil Soul Masters were clearly no ordinary figures, and they certainly would not sit still and wait for death.

Facing Kong Deming's overwhelming silver moonlight, a flash of ferocity appeared in both their eyes simultaneously.

In this brief moment, they had already completed their Martial Soul Possession.

A phantom of a giant bear wreathed in blood-red baleful energy suddenly appeared behind one of them, its scarlet eyes filled with brutality and madness.

Behind the other rose a skeletal giant piled together from countless stark-white bones, and a cold, sinister baleful aura soared into the sky.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

Nine soul rings ascended simultaneously.

Two auras belonging to the Douluo level erupted without reservation.

At the same time, the Level 9 Soul Tools on their bodies were all activated.

Shoulder cannons, soul ray emitters, fixed-load soul missiles, energy-gathering soul cannons...

Dozens of muzzle ports flipped out at once.

In an instant, countless soul beams wove into a massive net of firepower, covering Kong Deming.

Deafening explosions rang out incessantly.

The ice field for several thousand meters around was blasted into fragments, and snow filled the sky.

However, as the flames gradually dissipated, Kong Deming stood there quietly, his silver robes fluttering, his position barely changed—this was the exquisite utilization of space.

"Mere parlor tricks."

Kong Deming spoke with a hint of boredom; he had already probed the strength of these two.

Thus, his gaze had lost any interest in further testing.

After all, this was the Far North.

The longer the battle dragged on, the easier it would be to disturb those terrifying soul beasts slumbering in the depths of the ice field.

It was better to end this quickly.

Thinking of this, Kong Deming mobilized the power within him once more, leading with his ultimate move.

His ninth soul ring suddenly lit up.

The moment that blood-red, dripping ten-thousand-year soul ring appeared, the entire world seemed to dim.

Xu Tianyao could even clearly feel the surrounding space groaning under an unbearable burden.

"Ninth Soul Skill—Silver Moon Devouring Heaven!"
