A Narrow Victory

"Since King's Hall Wang has resigned himself to his fate, then I will take your life." Xiao Han didn't say anything else, but narrowed his eyes slightly and pronounced the death sentence on the King's Hall.

"Then I'll see if you have the ability," King's Hall sneered, and then launched an attack.

The only good news for him at this moment was probably that he had found Xiao Han's whereabouts, so that he wouldn't be running around like a headless fly.

"Frozen World!" Xiao Han's lips curled slightly, and the originally calm Snow Domain was suddenly engulfed in a violent blizzard, with a huge whirlpool of ice and snow gradually forming around the King's Hall.

The storm tearing through this space could easily shred the body of a High-level Dou Sheng, and now it intended to bury the King's Hall forever in this endless Snow Domain.

"The Evil King True Body, manifest." Before the words were finished, a tall, giant figure appeared before their eyes, exuding an aura of world-destroying power with every move.

At this moment, about an hour had passed in the outside world, but in Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's mind, even ten thousand years could not compare to this seemingly fleeting time.

He kept spinning in place, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the white sphere high in the sky, where a great battle was taking place that would shock the world.

Although this feeling was unpleasant, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice could only passively wait for the outcome of this battle.

As for the King's Hall, all will be lost, and he and Xiao Han will be buried in this sinful world.

Xiao Han standing until the end signifies the world's rebirth. He will be qualified to cleanse this world of original sin, and he will also be able to embark on a new journey.

Finally...

Amidst the unease and anticipation of Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, a frail figure in white robes and blue hair stepped out. Before Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice could even begin to feel excited, the figure collapsed and fell directly to the ground.

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice rushed forward, a gentle force enveloping Xiao Han, at which point his long, crystal-blue hair returned to black.

Sensing the fragile vitality and listless aura within Xiao Han's body, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Breath?

Oh no... Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice suddenly realized and carefully checked Xiao Han's current cultivation level— Seven Star Dou Zong!

For a moment Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice was filled with mixed feelings. He could roughly guess that Xiao Han's sudden decrease in cultivation level must be the price he paid for breaking through from the Seven-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage to the Nine Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage.

Although Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice has been trapped in the Ruins, his knowledge may have far surpassed that of everyone else on this continent.

Even among the top Dou God Clan he knew, he had never seen such Secret Method that could allow someone to jump two levels directly to reach the Nine Star strength without paying a great price.

Even Xiao Han's Secret Method technique had a relatively minor cost. With a normal Secret Method, even a one-star improvement might mean the end of the battle and the end of one's life.

He at least survived, and he still has some cultivation left, so he doesn't have to start from scratch.

With a sigh, a chilling aura emanated, gently repelling the invading Evil Qi. Then, she placed her fingers on Xiao Han's brow, and a surge of emerald green energy emerged, continuously repairing Xiao Han's ravaged body.

Although this Sealed World is not a good place for Xiao Han recover, if his body is disturbed even slightly, he might lose his last breath.

If Xiao Han were still awake at this moment, he might have doubts about the identity or ability of the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice. Why would the power of life, which is controlled by the Life and Death Heavenly Crystal, appear in the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, which is rumored to be ranked last?

The Life and Death Heavenly Crystal, the fourth of the Heavenly Ice, wields the power of life and death. It can save lives with the power of life and seize souls with the power of death. The two poles flow in an endless cycle.

Xiao Han was completely unaware of Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's actions; he was currently in a strange state.

In his mind, Xiao Han stared intently at the Demon Commander Ge Xiusi in front of him, his heart filled with doubt and horror.

"How did you survive?" Although he didn't have much hope of getting an answer, Xiao Han still asked this question.

If Xiao Han's perception was correct, the power, vitality, and souls of Ge Xiusi and the other Demon Commander would have been completely devoured. It was simply unbelievable that this person could still preserve such a complete soul!

"Now that I've guessed King's Hall Wang's methods, how can I not make some preparations?" Ge Xiusi chuckled, speaking noncommittally.

From the very beginning, Ge Xiusi had already sensed the abnormality of the King's Hall. In order to prepare for the future, he tampered with his own soul.

Originally, it was just a means to prevent the King's Hall from directly devouring him, but unexpectedly, he actually used the Evil Emperor Life Devouring Array. The King's Hall's delirium gave him a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Just as King's Hall was killed by Xiao Han, Ge Xiusi seized the opportunity to take over King's Hall's body and even had the leisure to leave an image of Xiao Han.

"So, what is your purpose in appearing before me?" Although his cultivation had regressed at this moment, his soul realm was still intact, so he was naturally able to perceive that Ge Xiusi was just an image.

But shouldn't he be hiding himself and waiting for an opportunity? Now he dares to reveal his existence to me, isn't he afraid that I'll take the time to kill him?

Even though Ge Xiusi possessed the Demon King's body, aside from the issue of compatibility, the King's Hall's body had been almost completely destroyed by Xiao Han in the previous battle.

It's unknown how long it will take to recover. Could there really be such people in this world who are so fearless in the face of death?

"Let's talk about it when you find me?" Ge Xiusi didn't answer, then gave a mysterious smile, "Perhaps the next time we meet, we'll be on the Fierce Qi Continent?"

Um?!

Xiao Han's expression was solemn. He did not believe that Ge Xiusi was such a person who spoke nonsense, which meant that he had a way to get through that seal.

Even if it was just an isolated case, Xiao Han was still unwilling to let his guard down. If this Ge Xiusi were to grow too powerful, things would get much more troublesome.

However, after saying these words, Ge Xiusi's illusory soul disappeared, leaving his many doubts unresolved.

Although Xiao Han was unconscious, his mind could still move freely; he simply couldn't perceive his surroundings. Recalling the battle, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

If Xiao Han hadn't successfully disrupted the King's Hall's thoughts with his domain, the outcome would have been uncertain!

In fact, Xiao Han's domain was not as magical as King's Hall had imagined. He had simply used special methods to transfer King's Hall's Evil Qi outside the domain, while simultaneously increasing the amount of Dou Qi injected into it.

This merely creates the illusion that the domain can absorb Evil Qi for its own use. Although it caused a huge drain on its own resources, the result was ultimately good; that old bastard King's Hall was in a hurry to die!

After this battle, Xiao Han gained a clearer understanding of the terrifying nature of those old monsters in the Cultivation World.

They were both leading figures of their respective eras, with little difference in talent. The former even had more methods. Even in a battle between equals, Xiao Han's chances of winning were only fifty-fifty.

"Yeah, I still need to be more careful in the future!" Xiao Han couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about his potentially terrible physical condition.

This is the first time I've raised my cultivation level to such a terrifying level. The results are plentiful, but the price is also terrible!
