Di Tian and Snow Emperor Battle!

However, the Snow Emperor remained completely unmoved. She stood proudly before the Ice Crystal Palace, her voice firm and echoing across the ice plains with the inviolable majesty of the Lord of the Far North:

"Di Tian! I respect you as the Beast God, ruler of ten thousand beasts, a figure of great virtue and prestige."

"But this place is the Far North!"

"It is not your place to act so wantonly here!"

"Do you think you can take someone from my side based on a single word?"

"--Dream on!"

The final two words were spoken with ironclad resolve.

The wind and snow across the sky turned violent at her words, as if the very will of the Far North had gathered here to stand with the Snow Emperor against the supreme dragon might emanating from the Star Dou Forest!

Hearing this, Di Tian did not grow angry but instead laughed, though the chill and overwhelming dragon might within his laughter shook the surrounding wilderness:

"Good! Good! Good!!!"

"Since that is the case, then this Seat shall see exactly how you intend to stop me!"

Before his voice had even faded, Di Tian's figure flickered. Instead of attacking the Snow Emperor, he appeared directly inside the Ice Crystal Palace.

His powerful divine sense swept across the entire hall in an instant, and a flash of realization crossed his golden pupils.

The child was not here!

He did not sense the unique aura of the scale belonging to The Master, the Silver Dragon King!

"Hmph!"

Di Tian let out a cold snort, understanding instantly.

Xue Chen was not in the Ice Crystal Palace at this moment. Given the relationship between the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, the only place the child could possibly be hidden was the Ice Emperor's Cave!

Without a moment's hesitation, his figure blurred again, and he prepared to charge out of the Ice Crystal Palace toward the direction of the Ice Emperor's Cave.

The Snow Emperor had perceived his intentions the moment he rushed into the palace. Seeing him turn toward the Ice Emperor's Cave, she thought to herself that things were going poorly!

She absolutely could not let Di Tian reach the Ice Emperor and Chen'er!

"Extreme Cold Domain!"

The Snow Emperor let out a sharp cry, no longer holding anything back!

Centered on her delicate body, a terrifying chill—invisible yet seemingly capable of freezing souls and extinguishing all life—instantly expanded outward!

This domain was the Snow Emperor's ultimate realization of the laws of ice!

Wherever the domain passed, space seemed to solidify.

Even light traveling through the domain became slow and distorted, taking on an eerie sense of sluggishness.

Just as Di Tian rushed out of the Ice Crystal Palace and prepared to spread his wings, the invisible Extreme Cold Domain instantly enveloped his massive body!

"Hmm?!"

Di Tian's movements came to a sudden halt!

He clearly felt the surrounding space become sluggish.

Waves of extreme freezing and binding force surged in from all directions.

They crazily permeated his protective dragon aura, attempting to invade his limbs, his bones, and even the depths of his dragon soul!

His movements, whether flying or unleashing soul skills, were severely hindered and became abnormally slow.

Every simple action required several times more power than usual, and his speed was forcibly reduced by a significant margin!

This domain was restricting his mobility to a great extent!

"Ice Seal... Ten Thousand Years!"

The Snow Emperor did not pause for an instant. Her jade hands formed seals, drawing upon the core power of her domain!

Within the range of the Extreme Cold Domain that shrouded Di Tian, the temperature plummeted, reaching what was theoretically absolute zero!

"Crack... Cracking--!"

The sound of freezing rang out densely!

The powerful dark-black dragon aura on Di Tian's body was actually covered, at a speed visible to the naked eye, by a layer of mysterious ice shimmering with countless arcane runes!

This solid ice did not remain on the surface but spread rapidly toward the depths of his flesh and bones!

In the blink of an eye, most of Di Tian's body was already covered in Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice.

The moment the Snow Emperor struck, she combined her signature technique with her domain, attempting to use the strongest control method to forcibly detain the Beast God, Di Tian!

Golden light surged violently within Di Tian's massive dragon pupils. His dragon body, covered in mysterious ice, shook fiercely, and a dense dark mist suddenly erupted from his entire being.

The mist seemed to possess immense destructive power, coiling around the deep blue mysterious ice on his dragon body with a piercing screech.

The indestructible Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice actually began to develop countless cracks under the erosion of the dark mist, then shattered with a boom, scattering into the sky as crystalline shards!

Seeing that Di Tian was about to break free from the shackles of the domain, and that the aura emanating from his body was climbing steadily—as if he were about to unlock a deeper level of power—the Snow Emperor's eyes narrowed, and she hesitated no longer.

She rapidly shifted her hands into a seal before her chest, the vast, frigid soul power surrounding her body converging frantically with the icy power of the Far North.

Behind her, a massive, azure magic circle formed, constructed from countless ice crystal runes.

The magic circle rotated slowly, radiating a terrifying, frigid pressure!

"Emperor Palm—Great Cold Without Snow!"

Snow Emperor's cold, clear voice rang out like ice cracking across the heavens. Her slender, delicate hand moved with a deceptive slowness, yet it contained supreme profundity as she pushed her palm flat toward Di Tian!

As her palm thrust forward, the massive azure magic circle behind her erupted with blinding radiance.

A nearly transparent, ice-blue palm print struck out ferociously from the center of the circle!

Wherever the palm print passed, it created a bizarre vacuum.

It moved silently, yet it bore down directly upon Di Tian's head!

Di Tian had only just shattered the black ice surrounding his body when he felt the Nirvana Cold Intent lock onto him.

For the first time, a trace of gravity flashed through his massive golden dragon pupils; facing this signature technique of Snow Emperor, he dared not be negligent.

His colossal dragon head reared up abruptly, his blood-red maw opened wide, and a mass of profound dark energy gathered deep within his throat!

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking dragon roar, a thick beam of dark dragon breath erupted from his mouth, crashing straight into the palm print that sought to extinguish all existence!

On one side was the ultimate cold that froze all things and returned them to nothingness!

On the other was the Supreme Dark Dragon Breath that swallowed light and annihilated everything!

These two terrifying energies, both having reached the pinnacle of their attributes and containing diametrically opposed laws, collided head-on in mid-air without any flair!

"BOOM!!!!!!!"

A roar as loud as the creation of the world erupted!

At the center of the collision, space shattered inch by inch, revealing the twisted, chaotic void behind it!

Red-black and blue-white energies intertwined frantically.

Eroding and annihilating, they formed a destructive energy storm mixed with ice shards, darkness, and spatial fragments, which suddenly expanded in a ring!

The terrifying shockwave swept across the entire ice plain in an instant!

The permafrost below, frozen for ten thousand years, was ripped up in vast swathes.

Several distant snow peaks collapsed with a roar under the aftermath of this power, kicking up a sky full of snow dust!

Even the clouds hanging high in the sky were forcibly torn open, leaving a massive, circular gap!

Protected by Snow Emperor's power, the Ice Crystal Palace trembled violently, its light flickering, yet it ultimately remained stable.

At the core of the collision, energy continued to rage wildly, light flickering on and off, illuminating Snow Emperor's cold, beautiful face and Di Tian's ferocious, majestic dragon head in shifting shadows.

This head-on clash had actually resulted in a stalemate!

Elsewhere on the Far North Ice Plains, a massive, emerald-green figure was sprinting across the ground at an astonishing speed!

It was Ice Emperor, having revealed her true form as the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!

And upon her back, covered in crystalline armor, Xue Chen was clinging tightly.

Just moments ago, that earth-shattering roar from the direction of the Ice Crystal Palace had caused Xue Chen's heart to leap into his throat!
