Two in the morning, the darkest hour in the world.
The Snow Empress, who had been sitting quietly in the Core Area, suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the direction of the northern Ice River. In her perception, several Mental Power were constantly probing in the Core Area of Far North.
"They're here." A cold voice came from Snow Empress's mouth.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan opened her eyes, looked in the direction of the Ice River, slowly stood up, and said, "Now that they've arrived, it's time for us to make our move."
Snow Empress nodded slightly and headed directly towards the Ice River, with Jun Xuehan following closely behind.
The other Soul Beast did the same, but they headed towards the Ice River from different directions, while the Titan Snow Demon King sat in place, waiting for the right moment to make his move.
Before an icy plain, four Evil Soul Masters clad in black cloaks stood quietly, their gazes fixed on the Core Area, awaiting the arrival of the Snow Empress.
When the Snow Empress appeared before them, they did not hesitate at all. They immediately released their Martial Soul and rushed forward to engage Snow Empress in battle.
The wind and snow swept across the sky like steel blades, and intense energy fluctuations emanated from the center of their battle, creating ripples that spread outwards.
When Jun Xuehan arrived, she was somewhat astonished to see the Snow Empress fighting in mid-air. The Snow Empress's strength was truly remarkable; fighting four opponents at once, she not only held her own but even seemed to be gaining the upper hand.
The Silver Dragon Spear appeared in Jun Xuehan's hand, and seven Soul Ring— two purple, three black, Two Red —flashed beneath his feet, quietly waiting for the right moment to strike.
After Snow Empress knocked away a Titled Douluo, Jun Xuehan's figure emerged from the shadows like Gui Mei, her Silver Dragon Spear thrusting straight out to block the Titled Douluo from returning to provide support.
"Seven-Ring Soul Sage?" The Evil Soul Masters looked at the person who had blocked his way, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
"A mere Soul Saint, actually coming to help a Soul Beast? You probably don't know what death means." The Martial Soul behind the Evil Soul Masters shone brightly red, and a bloody aura emanated from his body.
Jun Xuehan didn't bother listening to his nonsense. As she swung her Silver Dragon Spear, countless spear flowers bloomed, and several spear shadows pressed down on the Evil Soul Masters in front of her.
The Evil Soul Masters, seeing the incoming spear, sneered and stretched out one hand, preparing to catch the incoming Silver Dragon Spear with one hand. But before the sneer on his face could disappear, he was directly whipped away by the Silver Dragon Spear.
"Catching the Silver Dragon Spear with one hand? Even a level 96 Sword Dao Chen Xin isn't as arrogant as you." Jun Xuehan sneered inwardly, thrusting out the Silver Dragon Spear repeatedly towards the Evil Soul Masters.
In the shadows, the Holy Emperor observed the situation before him and nodded slightly, saying, "Two Venerable Ones, what do you think of that young boy? How does he compare to the Holy Son of our Holy Cult Sect?"
Upon hearing this, the two gray-robed elders said softly, "Seven-Ring Soul Sage starts with Thousand-Year Soul Ring and even has two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. With such talent, if they are willing to join our Holy Cult, they will surely become the backbone of our Holy Cult in the future."
"Moreover, this boy's strength should not be underestimated. When he fought against our elders, he had the upper hand. Such strength is unmatched by any of the Holy Son in our Holy Cult."
The two elderly men spoke calmly, seemingly unperturbed by the situation and showing no sign of worry.
"Let those in the shadows make their move as well. Our priority now is to establish a firm foothold here. As for this young man, we can deal with him after this matter is resolved." The Holy Emperor nodded slightly, a hint of sinister light flashing in his pale red eyes.
"Yes, Holy Emperor." The two attendants replied and went to give the orders.
Meanwhile, the Soul Douluo, Soul Saint, and others who were hidden in the shadows immediately rushed out after hearing the instructions of the two elders.
But as soon as they rushed out, they were blocked by the Soul Beast that followed, preventing them from going to provide support. The massive body of the Titan Snow Demon King was also rushing over from the Core Area.
"Tsk tsk, we underestimated them. If we hadn't come, our Holy Cult's Fourth Elder would have been in real danger." The Holy Emperor chuckled as he looked at the situation before him.
"Holy Emperor, shall we make our move now?" a retainer asked softly, standing beside the Holy Emperor.
"No rush, let's wait and see if they have any other Backup Plan up their sleeves before we make our move." The Holy Emperor waved his hand dismissively, his voice calm.
After Titan Snow Demon King joined the battle, he helped Snow Empress hold off an Evil Soul Masters, and the scales of victory tilted in Snow Empress's favor at this moment.
Facing two Evil Soul Masters, Snow Empress had the upper hand. Jun Xuehan was also pressing the Evil Soul Masters, giving them no chance to breathe.
Just when she had the upper hand, two old men suddenly appeared from the shadows and went straight to meet the Snow Empress. Caught off guard, the Snow Empress suffered a setback, and her figure kept gliding in mid-air.
Jun Xuehan looked at the two old men who had suddenly appeared and couldn't help but feel surprised. From the bloody and evil aura emanating from the old men, Jun Xuehan could immediately tell that they were two Evil Soul Masters.
Moreover, the aura it emitted had surpassed the level of Titled Douluo, reaching the Super Douluo, which meant that the information provided by Snow Empress was not accurate.
This is far more than four Nine-Ring Titled Douluo, but six nine-ring Titled Douluo, or even more.
The second, third, sixth, and seventh Soul Ring beneath Jun Xuehan's feet began to flash in succession, and Elemental Meteor Shower rained down on the surrounding area.
Sixth Soul Skill: Sacred Evil-Breaking Spear!
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"
The attributes of light and fire converge on the body of the Silver Dragon Spear, while Sacred Power gathers at the tip, unleashing an aura as powerful as a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.
The Martial Soul Avatar can triple Jun Xuehan's elemental attributes, and double his strength, speed, and defense. Furthermore, his sixth Soul Skill has a very powerful effect: when facing Evil Martial Souls, all his Buff Attributes are doubled.
In other words, Jun Xuehan's elemental attributes have now reached a terrifying six times, with strength, speed, and defense all quadrupled. Initially, it seemed like a pretty good skill, but now it appears that against Evil Soul Masters, it's practically god-level.
Of course, this effect of the sixth Soul Skill is only useful for those who possess Evil Martial Souls; it cannot be triggered for other Martial Soul at all.
The sudden, powerful amplification instantly sent the Evil Soul Masters flying.
