Without any obstructions, Mo Lin could clearly see objects twenty thousand meters away in his current state. This domain was only five thousand meters in diameter; even through the slightest gap in the flying snow, Mo Lin could clearly make out the situation at its farthest edge.
But just as Mo Lin prepared to search for Snow Empress's whereabouts again, an enormous ice pillar shot up from the ground. Its tip was conical, stabbing straight at Mo Lin's face.
Mo Lin instantly lowered his body and beat his wings, carrying himself away from where the ice pillar had emerged. In most cases, an attack like this would never come only once.
Sure enough, as Mo Lin retreated, ice pillars continuously erupted along his path of retreat, giving him no time whatsoever to stop and rest.
Mo Lin had only used the power of his wings to leap farther backward. He could not keep flying backward through the air; among vertebrates, only hummingbirds could fly backward.
Before landing, Mo Lin swiftly "drew" out his second martial soul, Non-Aggression, in midair and transformed it into shield form.
"First Soul Skill, Bloodsoaked Bulwark!"

The moment he landed, Mo Lin smashed the shield into the ground. The shield instantly transformed into an energy construct, becoming a blood-red "bunker" that covered Mo Lin within.
It was, after all, a soul skill exceeding the hundred-thousand-year level. When the ice pillars struck the bulwark, their tips were ground flat on the spot. The ground was also within Bloodsoaked Bulwark's defensive range, so no ice pillars emerged beneath him.
Snow Empress's wave of ranged "point-blank" retaliation made Mo Lin calm down.
