Warning bells rang in Huo Yuhao's mind. If he were to be entangled by these chains, which contained terrifying power and the ability to annihilate, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He reacted extremely quickly, his mind racing.
" Xiao Bai!"
Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.
The next second, a deafening roar of a bear rang out.
A colossal phantom of a giant bear, as large as a mountain, covered in snow-white fur and exuding an ancient icy aura, instantly solidified in front of Huo Yuhao — the Soul Spirit of the Ice Bear King Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai's enormous bear paw slammed down on the Entanglement chains, while its massive body crashed to the ground like an iceberg collapsing.
"Boom!"
The earth trembled, and the shockwave and icy power generated by the Ice Bear King's landing spread instantly.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's Eighth Soul Ring erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.
Eighth Soul Skill: Ice Bear Blizzard
"Waaah--"
It was as if a frigid wind from the deepest part of the Far North Ice Plains had suddenly risen up.
An endless blizzard, imbued with the essence of Ultimate Ice, swept out like an out-of-control white tidal wave the moment Ice Bear King Xiaobai landed.
My sight was instantly and completely taken away.
The raging blizzard, carrying a chilling cold that freezes the soul, frantically slices and freezes everything within its range.
The cunning, Chain of a Thousand Miles were deflected by the Ice Bear King's massive paws, and then caught up by the raging Ice Bear Blizzard.
The extreme low temperature instantly condensed into a thick layer of ice on the surface of the interlocking series, and the terrifying cutting and impact forces violently repelled it.
Toji was far away, frowned almost imperceptibly. With a flick of his wrist, the Chain of a Thousand Miles coiled back like a serpent and was stored in his Storage Soul Tool.
He casually put away the Soul Liberation Blade as well.
In the heart of the raging blizzard, Huo Yuhao's figure appeared and disappeared under the protection of the Ice Bear King's massive Soul Spirit.
His eyes were icy cold as he slowly raised his hands, unleashing his ice-attribute Soul Power, amplified to its extreme by the Octagonal Ice Essence Condensation, without reservation.
"Seal up!"
Huo Yuhao uttered a cold word. His Pupils of Asura locked onto the location of Toji, who had just retracted her chains, outside the blizzard.
A terrifying chill descended, bringing an atmosphere of utter stillness and death.
Centered on Toji, the space within a radius of tens of meters was instantly covered by an extremely deep, dark blue.
That was no ordinary frost, but ice of the laws of nature, infinitely close to absolute zero, freezing and solidifying even space itself.
Air, dust, light...
Everything, in an instant, lost the concept of movement and was eternally frozen within those deep blue ice crystals.
Time seems to stand still here.
This is the closest Huo Yuhao can currently unleash to the ultimate Ice Seal power of the field; it is one of his most treasured techniques.
Frozen in the center of the deep blue ice crystal, Toji remained in the position of sheathing her sword, like a perfect ice sculpture.
The blizzard continued to howl around, but it couldn't penetrate this desolate realm ruled by absolute zero in the slightest.
Huo Yuhao was breathing heavily, having unleashed a series of top-tier Soul Skill, especially the Absolute Zero Domain, which consumed a great deal of energy.
But a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
It worked!
I'm temporarily stuck!
However, just as Huo Yuhao was about to mobilize his Soul Power to launch a follow-up fatal attack, his Pupils of Asura, Detection Enhancement and able to clearly see the flow of Qi and Blood, suddenly captured the core of the ice crystal. Inside the frozen ice sculpture, a Bloodline Power, like a dormant volcano, more violent and ferocious than ever before, was not only not weakened by the freeze, but was actually boiling?
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao witnessed a scene that sent chills down his spine.
Frozen within the azure ice crystals, Toji's lips slowly curved into an extremely clear, extremely mocking, and extremely cold smile.
He's laughing!
Within the ice, a force infinitely close to absolute zero, capable of freezing even space itself... he was actually laughing?
The next second, Toji's hand moved. He had somehow already grasped a grotesque, dark silver fang-shaped short blade covered in reverse patterns— the Inverted Spear of Heaven.
Toji flicked his wrist slightly with a seemingly casual yet terrifyingly explosive motion.
Several fine yet exquisitely refined dark silver blade lights, like Destruction lightning slicing through the eternal night, leaped out from the tip of Inverted Spear of Heaven's blade.
The blade of light did not slash at the ice layer, but rather, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, it precisely pierced and sliced through the core law nodes that constitute this Absolute Zero Domain.
Under Huo Yuhao's Pupils of Asura, filled with horror, disbelief, and even a hint of despair, the seemingly indestructible, space-freezing azure ice crystal domain appeared like thin ice thrown into hot water, or like a painting erased by an invisible eraser...
Starting from where the blade flashed, it swiftly and silently disintegrated, annihilated, and vanished into nothingness.
It's not melting, it's not shattering, it's complete annihilation at the level of existence.
The Ultimate Ice infinitely close to absolute zero, and the power of law that was enough to freeze Titled Douluo, were forcibly and domineeringly dispelled by the casual waving of that fanged short blade, as if it had encountered its nemesis. It couldn't even struggle and was forcibly and domineeringly dispelled.
In just a few breaths, the Absolute Zero Domain, which symbolized Huo Yuhao's peak mastery of ice magic, along with the terrifying ice laws contained within it, completely vanished.
It's as if they never existed.
Only Toji Er remained unharmed. He casually flicked the Inverted Spear of Heaven in his hand, its dark silver blade gleaming with a chilling light in the blizzard.
He raised his beast-like pupils, piercing through the still raging wind and snow, and precisely locked onto Huo Yuhao in the distance, whose face was deathly pale and who seemed to have all his strength drained away. The mocking curve at the corner of his mouth was cold and cruel.
"A petty trick." Toji's deep, hoarse voice pierced through the wind and snow, reaching Huo Yuhao's ears clearly, carrying an indifferent disdain. "A simple little domain? You think you can deal with me with that?"
Amidst the blizzard, Huo Yuhao was struck as if by lightning, his body swaying involuntarily. For the first time, a light called "fear" was clearly reflected in his dark golden Pupils of Asura.
The Ultimate Ice... was forcibly destroyed?
One of his strongest control and defensive techniques proved utterly ineffective against the opponent's strange short blade.
The sight of the Absolute Zero Domain being easily annihilated by Inverted Spear of Heaven was like a heavy hammer blow to Huo Yuhao's heart, instantly freezing his blood with chill.
He watched as the dark silver fang-shaped dagger spun casually in Toji's hand, as if it were not a weapon to kill a god, but a toy.
Just as Huo Yuhao's mind trembled violently and his Soul Power circulation slowed down slightly...
That chilling, deadly sound tore through the air once more.
The Chain of a Thousand Miles, like a venomous python that had been lying in wait, shot straight at Huo Yuhao's waist and abdomen with a tricky angle and terrifying speed.
Runes flickered at the tips of the chains, and the aura of annihilation was suffocating.
"Again?" Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted as he suppressed his shock. His Pupils of Asura instantly locked onto the chains' trajectory, and his Soul Power surged within him as he prepared to summon the Ice Bear King Xiaobai once more to block them.
