Destructive Aura! The Snow Emperor's Worry!
When Ye Hua arrived, a biting cold wind carried the smell of burning food.
The watchtower's alarm bells rang deafeningly, and the frost crumbled away, revealing the verdigris beneath.
The garrison troops were pushing bundles of torches and stacks of firewood soaked in pine resin to the middle of the road, attempting to build a defensive line with fire.
But the Soul Beast that emerged from the shadows of the forest paid no heed to the flames!
His greyish-white fur wasn't even charred, and all that remained in his eyes was pure killing intent!
"Damn it!" The garrison commander's face turned ashen. "How could it be Soul Beast that's over a hundred years old!"
"Wait... it's still the Snow Monster!"
Its massive body crashed through the wall of fire, scattering burning firewood in all directions, sparks flying as it hissed and died down.
Pfft!
The front-line garrison was tackled, and the Snow Monster opened its massive fangs and bit directly at his neck.
Fortunately, his comrade reacted quickly, and Martial Soul heavy axe struck the Snow Monster's shoulder blade, the blade embedding itself into the flesh, and foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere!
"Ah!!!" the garrison soldier roared as he was pinned down, plunging his dagger into the Snow Monster's lower abdomen.
The two sides rolled around in a fierce battle in the snow.
The defenses in other directions are also in grave danger.
The Soul Beast had broken through the wall of fire and were engaged in close combat with the garrison, with shouts and roars rising and falling.
"Oh shit!"
Without asking any further questions, Hote summoned his Martial Soul to join the battle.
With Soul Douluo in charge, the pressure on the defensive line has been greatly reduced!
Other Soul Master forces, Spirit Hall Branch and the Soul Hunting Group, also came to provide support!
However, there were too many Soul Beast, seemingly endless, forcing the defensive line to retreat step by step!
When Oscar and Veya rushed to the town entrance, they saw the defense line in dire straits.
Oscar's face turned deathly pale.
He recognized him.
Those greyish-white furs and murky eyes—aren't they the Snow Monster he provoked?
He remembered the group of Snow Monster, which numbered only a hundred or so, but the beast tide before him was far greater.
Veya froze on the spot, her gaze darting away, unable to meet anyone's eyes.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Veya's mother's pupils contracted. "Veya, tell me honestly, these Soul Beast aren't you and Xiao Ao... ugh!"
Veya's father forcefully covered her mouth.
"Don't say it! Do you want them to get the cold shoulder?"
Veya's mother snapped out of her daze and quickly swallowed her words.
Oscar's teeth chattered.
It was really his fault.
If he hadn't provoked it, how could there have been a beast tide?
But Ye Hua noticed something amiss.
The Snow Monster's fur was covered in blackish-purple smoke.
The smoke was so faint that it was barely visible in the firelight.
However, under Ye Hua's [Godslaying Domain] perception, it was incredibly clear!
Chaos! Tyranny! Madness!
With Desire to assimilate everything!
That's not the aura of an ordinary Soul Beast!
"Something's not right." Ye Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, pulling him back from his self-reproach. "Look carefully."
Oscar looked up blankly, following Ye Hua's gaze.
There was indeed a strange wisp of smoke on those Snow Monster, as if it were emerging from their flesh and blood.
"What... what is that?!" Oscar was trembling with shock.
Shui Bing'er frowned, "Perhaps it's being controlled by Evil Soul Master?"
"No," Ye Hua shook his head, "The methods of Evil Soul Master can at most enslave Soul Beast and make them obey."
"But look at these Snow Monster, bloodthirsty and crazed, they've been completely assimilated!"
"Unless the Evil Soul Master controls them reaches the Ultimate Douluo and comes into contact with the rules of the world, there is absolutely no way they could have this ability!"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Evil Soul Master at the Ultimate Douluo level?
The Spirit Hall will not allow him to appear!
But why is that?
"Let's go too!" Ye Hua didn't hesitate, because the defense line was about to collapse.
Several garrison soldiers were knocked away by the Snow Monster and crashed heavily into the snowdrift; their fate is unknown.
Even though Hote was tough and resilient, he was still wounded on the shoulder and panting heavily.
The scale of this beast tide is so great that even Titled Douluo would have to think twice before arriving, unless it's Dugu Bo with his massive area-of-effect attacks!
It seems that only that trick will work!
Ye Hua took a deep breath and strode forward.
The thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the air.
[Godslaying Domain]!
A dark red killing intent surged like a giant wave, and a towering red light overshadowed the flames!
But to his surprise, these assimilated Snow Monster were completely unfazed by the murderous aura!
"Strange." Ye Hua simply let his domain Overwhelm the opponent.
The Snow Monster charging at the forefront was instantly crushed by the murderous aura!
Flesh was torn apart, blood mist exploded, and then it was swallowed up by the murderous aura!
Puff puff puff puff!!!
Soul Beast fell in droves.
Ye Hua raised his hand and shared his Soul Power with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Snow Empress.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't mince words, directly unleashing its [Skydream Domain]!
The spirits trembled, and Soul Beast within a hundred feet radius simultaneously froze!
The once-fierce eyes instantly lost focus and fell straight down!
Not to be outdone, the Snow Empress's hair flew wildly, and a chilling aura spread, freezing the ground in its wake and even causing ice crystals to form in the air.
[Extreme Cold Domain]!
Click!
Layers of frost formed on the Soul Beast!
Smack!
Snow Empress snapped her fingers.
The frozen Soul Beast shattered into dust.
The three forces overlapped, and the beast tide was like being caught in a giant net, its frenzied charge being forcefully suppressed.
The Nine-Dragon Spirit Yang Staff appeared in Ye Hua's hand, and his Sixth Soul Ring lit up.
[Rushing Dragon]!
The phantom of the Golden Sacred Dragon roared as it charged into the horde of beasts, instantly clearing a large area of empty space!
After the dragon's departure, the land was scorched black, and blood and flesh were scattered on the snow, hissing and smoking.
The Arctic Town garrison and the members of the Soul Hunting Group all remained where they were.
They watched helplessly as that figure stood amidst the horde of beasts!
His robes fluttered in the wind, his aura as deep as an abyss!
Their auras intertwined, an absolute Overwhelm!
The battlefield has been transformed into a slaughterhouse!
"The Ice Saint King has manifested?!"
A young hunter from one of the Soul Hunting Group knelt down first, trembling like a leaf, "It must be the Ice Saint King who has come to save us!"
"My God! It really is Ice Saint King!"
"May the Ice Saint King protect me!"
Thump thump thump!
People tend to follow trends, especially during times of crisis.
But some people still rolled their eyes, "Bullshit, a benefactor is a benefactor, what Ice Saint King?"
"Commander Hote led a team there; they were almost wiped out. That thing and his treasure are complete nonsense!"
"Exactly! These three are truly amazing. I've really seen something new today!"
The garrison soldiers and hunters, realizing what was happening, were stunned for a moment before kneeling down.
Some even kowtowed, their foreheads slamming loudly into the snow!
Regardless, they saved their lives!
Ye Hua's lips twitched when he saw them kneeling.
But he had no time to pay attention, his gaze fixed on the beast tide.
The [Godslaying Domain] Overwhelm, and the remaining Soul Beast should have scattered, but they did not.
They still charged forward, even though their bodies were frozen stiff and their bones were cracked by the murderous aura!
Still dragging its crippled body, it crawled towards Arctic Town!
"This is insane..." Ye Hua's brows furrowed even more deeply.
When the last Snow Monster was blasted to pieces by the [Rushing Dragon], Ye Hua looked around and saw that the town entrance had become Asura.
The corpses were piled up layer upon layer; a cursory glance revealed no fewer than ten thousand bodies, with blood flowing like rivers!
It's fair to say that the Snow Monster were almost wiped out!
In the Far North Forest, it will be rare to see such humanoid Evil Soul Beast again.
Blood soaked through the ice and snow, and the rising steam emitted a nauseating smell of rust.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm withdrew its domain. "Tsk, it really isn't afraid of death!"
"Hey, you've finished fighting, why are you still frowning, Snow Empress?"
Snow Empress remained silent, her gaze lowered as she looked at the corpses scattered across the ground, her expression gradually growing solemn.
"Qilin, I'd like to ask you to come with me to see Ice Empress!"
Ye Hua took a deep breath. "You also think something's not right?"
"Yes," the Snow Empress said in a low voice, "This Destructive Aura is terrifying; it can even assimilate Soul Beast!"
"Ice Empress is in seclusion to undergo her tribulation, which is a vulnerable period for her. I'm worried she might also be affected!"
"No problem." Ye Hua nodded.
He was, after all, Auspicious Beast, capable of sensing fortune and distinguishing different energies.
For example, Soul Power, life force, mental power, killing intent, different elements, and relatively uncommon Destruction power.
But the aura emanating from the Snow Monster was something he had never seen before, as if it shouldn't exist on the continent!
Just as he was pondering, space distorted and his mental energy surged.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly looked up and gasped!
