Light Energy Convergence!!

Accompanied by Beiming Lieyang's low shout, the Solar Star God Armor chimed with a clanging chorus of metal as it suddenly contracted, transforming into a crimson ball of light suspended amidst the Far North's wind and snow.

Light Energy Convergence.

Centered on the light ball, the blizzard within a radius of a thousand meters was forcibly pulled and gathered, turning into a silver-white long dragon that poured into that mass of scarlet-gold radiance.

The piercing cold winds and ice elements of the Far North were melted and transformed by the Sun True Fire, turning into pure energy to replenish his body.

Burdened with the Void Mysterious Ice, Beiming Lieyang would not find his recovery speed using the Solar Star God's Light Energy Convergence slowed down even in the freezing, bitter Far North.

Ice and fire dual-born, things reach an extreme and reverse!

He would not end up like the original Solar Star God Apollo, who was trapped inside the Mysterious Ice Illusion where sunlight was blocked, cutting him off from a massive supply of light energy.

That had resulted in his failure to obtain effective replenishment when clashing with the Apollo Puppet in an ultimate-move contest of the Coronal Light, which, coupled with the Apollo Puppet using the Void Mysterious Ice to amplify its combat power threefold, caused his interstellar energy to be insufficient, leading to his defeat.

Instead, he found himself entirely in his element!

The Ice Emperor stood not far away, her golden eyes wide-rounded:

Restoring power... is it really this absurd?

An ordinary Soul Master with exhausted soul power could only sit cross-legged and slowly recover, and even she and the Snow Emperor, positioned on their home turf of the Far North, required the better part of a day to go from exhaustion back to full.

Yet look at this little scoundrel right in front of her.

He simply robbed it outright, completing a round of absorption in a mere few breaths.

The light receded, and Beiming Lieyang returned to his human form, his aura solidified by a huge margin.

Before anyone could react, he let out another low shout.

Light Energy Convergence!!

Atai and Xiaobai exchanged bewildered glances:

Hadn't he just finished recovering a moment ago?

Why was he doing it again?

The Snow Emperor spoke softly: "Xiaoyang's previous attempt recovered a full half of his soul power."

"Half?!" the Ice Emperor's voice pitched higher.

Atai and Xiaobai's pupils also violently constricted.

In just the span of a few breaths, he had recovered half his soul power?

Beiming Lieyang's current soul power reserves were already one hundred and fifty times greater than those of an ordinary ultimate-attribute Soul Master.

If these soul power quantities were pumped into a Soul Douluo, a single Light Energy Convergence would probably blow them straight apart.

As the second round ended, Beiming Lieyang stood once more amidst the wind and snow, his aura full and brimming.

The Ice Emperor darted forward, raising her hand to rap twice against his chest armor with a sour tone:

"You little scoundrel, fifty percent recovery each time, and two times and you're completely full! Xue'er and I have stayed in the Far North for hundreds of thousands of years, and we don't have a recovery speed as ridiculous as yours!"

The Snow Emperor also walked over, carrying a trace of emotion in her eyes: "Light Energy Convergence... truly a percentage-level ability. Even situated on our home turf, once we are completely exhausted, it still takes us the better part of a day to fully recover."

"Planet form, you see. Rapidly restoring power is simply its most basic function."

Beiming Lieyang's voice came from beneath the armor, "Every time Light Energy Convergence restores fifty percent of soul power, although it can also maintain the form for a continuous slow recovery, since I can restore it in the shortest time, why bother waiting around sluggishly? Just doing it twice gets the job done."

Atai and Xiaobai exchanged a glance, already rendered speechless.

The Ice Emperor threw herself into the Snow Emperor's arms, muttering and grumbling:

"I want a percentage-based recovery skill too... Xiaoyang's body is full of percentage-based amplification and percentage-based recovery. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, far too ridiculous!"

The Snow Emperor looked down at her, curved the corners of her lips, and raised a hand to stroke her head.

Beiming Lieyang also smiled, extending a palm covered in red armor to gently land atop the Ice Emperor's head.

At this moment, wearing his armor, his figure stood fully two meters eight tall, and merely standing there carried an intensely oppressive aura of might.

"Little Aunt, did you forget that I still have the Void Mysterious Ice? With those, isn't it possible for you all to rapidly recover your soul power at any time?"

The Ice Emperor abruptly raised her head, her golden eyes brightening: "That's right! The Void Mysterious Ice can naturally restore soul power and heal injuries!"

Beiming Lieyang surveyed the crowd: "Since that's the case, I'll start condensing Void Mysterious Ice for you all right now.

If we store up a bit more and distribute it to the clansmen of various tribes, there won't be any problem rapidly cultivating a batch of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in a short time.

Those who have suppressed their cultivation and didn't dare undergo the Heavenly Tribulation can also borrow the amplification of the Void Mysterious Ice to assault the Heavenly Tribulation ahead of time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of every soul beast present lit up.

For countless years in the Far North, how many soul beasts had been stuck at the ninety-thousand-year mark, not daring to take that step?

The Heavenly Tribulation was a narrow escape with nine deaths and one life, and slightly weak bloodlines were almost equivalent to throwing oneself into the jaws of death.

Many soul beasts chose to suppress their cultivation, even not daring to break through for their entire lives, leading to a situation where the top-tier combat strength of the Far North was difficult to expand.

Yet the Void Mysterious Ice provided a threefold all-attribute amplification and could also rapidly recover injuries and soul power.

Beneath the Heavenly Tribulation, it was a solid, life-saving straw to grasp.

The Ice Emperor was the first to grow excited: "That's right! With this, not to mention the high-tier combat strength of the Far North, our mid-tier combat strength can definitely pull far ahead of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Atai followed closely behind, nodding: "Among my Titan Snow Demon Clan, there are several clansmen over eighty thousand years who have been suppressed for many years. If they have the Void Mysterious Ice bestowed by the Young Master, there's a hundred-percent chance they'll become hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."

Xiaobai also hurriedly spoke: "The Ice Bear Clan has a few as well, and they've long since reached the critical point!"

Beiming Lieyang nodded, immediately raising a hand to condense the Void Mysterious Ice.

Yet, just as he condensed a small portion, his actions paused.

The Ice Emperor immediately sidled up: "What is it?"

"This is too slow."

The soul beasts present involuntarily twitched the corners of their mouths in unison.

Slow?

Your Light Energy Convergence can fill you back up in two goes, and you can condense ultra-high-quality Void Mysterious Ice compressed from your entire body's soul power in just one hour.

A single piece equates to several roots of Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow, and you still call this slow?

Beiming Lieyang offered no explanation, his thoughts shifting slightly as ripples stirred in the space at his side.

Three pitch-black figures stepped out slowly from the void.

Their armor was covered in dark gold patterns, their foreheads and chests both adorned with crystal-blue cores, a blue-gold corona sword slung across their backs, and their eyes crimson like blood, emitting a suffocating aura of darkness.

The three Apollo Puppets knelt on one knee:

"Greetings, Master." ×3

Atai and Xiaobai were filled with blank astonishment.

These three pitch-black armored monsters—why did they look exactly the same as the Young Master?

The Ice Emperor froze for a split second, and then her gaze abruptly brightened:

"Wow! Xiaoyang, you're really maximizing resource utilization! Making the puppets help you condense Void Mysterious Ice together!"

Beiming Lieyang lowered his head to glance at her, a chuckle emerging from beneath his armor:

"Little Aunt is so smart."

"Detestable!"

The Ice Emperor raised a hand to rap his chest armor once more, only for the impact to leave her palm red, causing her to bare her teeth and shake her hand, hissing, "Your armor is way too hard!"

The Snow Emperor chuckled softly, stepping forward to pull the Ice Emperor's wrist and rub it for her, scolding reproachfully:

"Binger, stop always disturbing Xiaoyang from doing proper work."

The Ice Emperor hummed twice, though she didn't continue making a fuss, smoothly leaning against the Snow Emperor's bosom, wrapping her arms around her waist and falling silent.

Beiming Lieyang thereupon condensed several blocks of Void Mysterious Ice, the ice-blue radiance spreading to draw all the soul beasts entirely into the Mysterious Ice Illusion.

It was Atai and Xiaobai's first time entering it. The ice beneath their feet was crystalline, ice-blue crystals floated all around, and the air was permeated with a bone-chilling, refreshing fragrance rich to the absolute limit. Just taking a whiff caused their soul power to stir faintly, and the two of them swallowed simultaneously.

This place smelled way too good!

The next second, however, the three puppets slowly dissolved into the void, vanishing without a trace.

The Ice Emperor poked her head out from the Snow Emperor's embrace: "Eh? Aren't you going to have them help condense ice?"

"Those three puppets replicated my previous strength tier."

"Now that I've improved again, they can no longer keep up with my state. Remanufacturing three puppets of the current tier is the only way to unleash maximum efficiency."

Atai and Xiaobai simultaneously sucked in a cold breath of air.

The puppets' strength would synchronously reset with the Young Master and younger brother?

Doesn't that mean every single time he improved, the puppets would follow along to update to a new peak?

And most importantly, they possessed the Young Master and younger brother's complete strength and abilities.

Doesn't that mean he could casually pull out a whole mess of terrifying puppet armies possessing the exact same combat power as himself?!

Hiss!

The corners of the Ice Emperor's mouth slowly split open, revealing a brilliant smile:

"Tsk, Xiaoyang, this ability of yours... is simply a seamless upgrade."

The Snow Emperor stood off to the side, her gaze falling softly onto the figure enveloped in crimson armor, the corners of her lips curving upward slightly.

She knew that the infant she had scooped out of an ice pit back then was growing, at a speed never before seen in the Far North, into that light they had all anticipated.

Yet the next moment, five Apollo Puppets directly appeared within the void.

"This... there are two more?"
