Just as Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling about the process of his martial soul's transformation, storms were already raging in the two women's hearts.

A martial soul could actually evolve?

What shocked them even more was that after Dugu Bo's martial soul evolved, his strength skyrocketed, and coupled with the triple amplification of the Void Mysterious Ice, he was still beaten to the point of almost losing his life in a single move by Beiming Lieyang.

In the gazes they directed at Beiming Lieyang, a sort of near-fear addition appeared.

Just how strong was this person?

Just as Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were still stunned, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor had already approached Beiming Lieyang with smiles.

He directly dismissed the possession of the Solar Star God Martial Soul, revealing his original appearance.

"Little Yang is truly amazing." Ice Emperor praised without holding back.

"You didn't use your full strength for any of those moves, did you?" Snow Emperor raised her hand and straightened a few strands of slightly messy hair for him.

Beiming Lieyang nodded. "Just testing my moves, and I wasn't really killing him; otherwise, Old Poison would have long since been chopped into minced meat."

Dugu Bo, who was loosening his muscles nearby, stiffened his expression upon hearing this, lingering fear filling his heart.

It was fortunate that all of the master's moves had been directed at the puppets.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, meanwhile, twitched at the corners of their mouths and looked at each other in dismay.

They had originally thought that the battle just now was already the limit, yet this person hadn't even unleashed his true strength.

Moreover, most of his attacks hadn't even been aimed at Dugu Bo at all.

If those blows had actually landed, Dugu Bo probably really would have been chopped into minced meat.

"Old Poison, have you rested enough? If you're rested enough, continue."

"Yes!"

Dugu Bo's spirits lifted, and he cautiously put away the house-sized piece of Void Mysterious Ice back into his storage soul tool, handling it as if he were cradling some rare and precious treasure.

This thing was an supreme treasure that could allow him to vie for the number one beast martial soul under heaven!

Next time, he would definitely make that foolish thunder dragon witness this!

Yet just as he prepared to welcome the next round of the Solar Star God's offensive, he saw Beiming Lieyang reach out and condense a piece of Void Mysterious Ice.

Immediately following that, a layer of ice-blue armor emerged from his body, firmly wrapping around his entire being.

That armor was not the crimson armor from before, but was instead condensed from mysterious ice.

Beiming Lieyang raised his hand, and two pieces of Void Mysterious Ice suddenly condensed at his sides. The ice crystals rapidly expanded, stretched, and transformed into two ice dragons.

Scales covered them layer upon layer, their dragon claws unfurled, and their dragon heads lifted, an icy dragon might mixed with extreme coldness pressing down upon Dugu Bo to cover the heavens and earth.

Looking at the other's extremely vigilant posture, the corners of Beiming Lieyang's mouth curved upward as he slowly spoke. "Mysterious Ice Dragon Flight!"

The instant the words fell, the two ice dragons simultaneously let out a silent roar, carrying a sky full of frost as they lunged to strangle Dugu Bo.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stared in astonishment at this scene. "He... he has a second martial soul?!"

"Are you still standing there in a daze, waiting to be blasted into minced meat?"

Ice Emperor glanced at them, then turned and retreated to the edge of the battlefield alongside Snow Emperor.

Only then did the two women snap out of it and hurriedly retreat.

Dugu Bo didn't hesitate anymore either, once again activating his martial soul true body. His flood dragon body soared into the air, and all his attributes skyrocketed.

He didn't dare to be the least bit careless.

Facing this master, any hesitation could cause him to lie down for another round.

Yet just as he finished gathering his momentum, he saw the two hundred-zhang ice dragons already pouncing toward him, their cold breath carrying a sky full of frost as it surged right before his face.

Before he had time to think it through, the vertical eye at the center of his forehead suddenly flew open.

"Eighth spirit skill -- Time Freezing!"

Gray-white light erupted from within his body, rapidly spreading in all directions, and everything in its path stood still.

The entire Mysterious Ice Illusion instantly plunged into silence, and even the two pouncing ice dragons were frozen mid-air.

Dugu Bo slowly exhaled a breath.

Under the enhancement of the evolved Jade Phosphorus Poison Python, the power of Time Freezing far exceeded what it had been before.

Coupled with the triple amplification of the Void Mysterious Ice, even a level ninety-five Title Douluo would be completely suppressed within these three breaths.

He was just about to seize the momentum to counterattack, but suddenly discovered something.

The corners of Beiming Lieyang's mouth were curving upward.

Dugu Bo's pupils violently contracted.

"Left arm spirit bone skill -- Absolute Zero Void Freezing."

Ice-blue light diffused out from within Beiming Lieyang's body, and wherever it passed, all matter and all energy were dragged toward a point-of-no-return abyss.

The temperature plummeted rapidly, reaching absolute zero.

Molecular motion ceased, particles lost their activity, and time itself lost the meaning of continuing to flow.

Dugu Bo's entire body was frozen rigid in mid-air.

Those two huge ice dragons broke free from the seal and lunged to strangle his flood dragon body.

The power of the frost, carrying the ultimate chill of the Void Mysterious Ice, wrapped around him layer by layer, tightening inch by inch.

Before he could react, he was dragged toward the ground by that terrifying strangling force. His martial soul true body was shattered on the spot, and his whole body slammed heavily onto the ground, reverting to human form.

Beiming Lieyang also withdrew the power of absolute zero, and the frozen spacetime began to flow once more.

Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor's gazes narrowed slightly.

At that instant just now, they had sensed a certain anomaly.

It was as if spacetime had been frozen.

As for Dugu Bo's eighth spirit skill attempting to freeze their time—

For their tier, that was an almost impossible thing to happen.

Yet the source of this power was none other than Beiming Lieyang.

Dugu Bo lay sprawled on the ground, violently coughing up a mouthful of blood before struggling back from that brief daze.

The energy of the Void Mysterious Ice was surging into his body, repairing his fractured bones and torn meridians.

He laboriously raised his head to look at Beiming Lieyang, countless thoughts churning in his mind.

He had clearly frozen the master, so why was it he himself who had been heavily injured?

"The ability to freeze time is not something only you possess."

Dugu Bo fell silent for quite a while before letting out a somewhat self-deprecating, bitter laugh.

That whole routine he had just pulled probably looked like a clown in the master's eyes.

"Again. I'll pull back my power a bit more, otherwise you'll have to rely on the Void Mysterious Ice to recover every single time."

Dugu Bo twitched at the corners of his mouth.

Wasn't that because you are simply too strong, Master?

He silently sighed, once more driving the Flood Dragon True Body to soar into the air, meeting those two icy giant dragons suspended above the Mysterious Ice Illusion.

His poison attribute was still suppressed to death, but he no longer had any spare thoughts to fuss over these things.

Then he despairingly discovered that Beiming Lieyang had changed his fighting style once again.

Dozens of unimaginably massive blocks of Void Mysterious Ice suddenly condensed in the sky, crashing down toward him like shooting stars.

He swung his flood dragon claws with all his might to meet them—

And was directly sent flying backward.

Those peerlessly sharp flood dragon claws only left shallow white marks on those pieces of Void Mysterious Ice.

Only then did he realize that the hardness of these pieces of Void Mysterious Ice had long since exceeded his comprehension.

Through the stacking of numerous spirit rings, Beiming Lieyang's Void Mysterious Ice had pushed its hardness to eleven times that of ice condensed from extreme ice.

He dodged and maneuvered in a wretched state, getting knocked flying only to crawl back up, yet he was forever unable to break through that cluster of ice pouring down like meteors.

Having finally shaken off a crashing block of mysterious ice, he had barely caught his breath when Beiming Lieyang's calm three words reached his ears:

"Ice Explosion Technique."

The hairs all over his body stood on end, and he immediately deployed all his defensive spirit skills to protect his entire perimeter.

Then.

Dozens of blocks of mysterious ice detonated one after another in the very same instant, and the entire Mysterious Ice Illusion was shaken violently by the blasts.

Ice splinters and shockwaves surged in all directions like a tidal wave, fragmented ice sweeping forward with terrifying propulsion.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling widened their eyes, having no time to even react before that biting frost shockwave had already arrived right in front of them.

The very moment the shattered ice was about to strike them, an ice barrier rose out of thin air, steadily enclosing them within it and blocking all the impact and shattered ice entirely on the outside.

Standing behind the barrier, they stiffly watched the two figures at the center of the battlefield.

Was this really feeding moves??

How come it felt to them like Grandpa / Your Grace Dugu was simply taking a unilateral beating.

They watched as Dugu Bo, having once again recovered his injuries, met the onslaught anew.

As for Beiming Lieyang, he continuously unleashed a whole slew of frost moves.

"Ice Blade Storm."

"Mysterious Ice Dazzling Kill."

"Drifting Ice and Snow."

"Frost Tornado."

"Mysterious Ice Dragon Flight!"

In a flash, dozens of mysterious ice giant dragons lunged to battle Dugu Bo.

They even saw that Beiming Lieyang had used ice to condense that exact same suit of armor from earlier.

And once more he unleashed his moves.

"Light Energy Convergence!"

"Frost Storm Sword!"

In an instant—

A sky-filling web of swords enmeshed the entire space.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were utterly numb, exchanging a glance with one another.

What kind of monster is this???
