Faced with the extreme cold of the oncoming Ultimate Ice, Qian Chen had nowhere to hide. He could only use the second Soul Skill of the Divine Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul once again.
Qian Chen uttered softly, " Second Soul Skill, Absolute Purification." The next moment, the power of purification merged with the Ultimate Ice cold of the Ice Empress's ice. Although Absolute Purification has no offensive power, it can annihilate all power or effects in the world.
The next moment, the Ultimate Ice vanished without a trace. Ice Empress was shocked; this was her ultimate killing move, intended to finish off Qian Chen in one strike, but it was destroyed by Qian Chen's non-aggressive skill.
Just as Ice Empress was wondering what was going on, she suddenly discovered purple spider webs on her body, which were also highly poisonous.
"Ah! You wretched human, when did you use such a Soul Skill to ambush me!" Ice Empress roared in fury.
Then, an Angel Holy Sword appeared in the sky, imbued with terrifying fiery power. The next moment, the Angel Holy Sword pierced down, and Ice Empress hurriedly swung her giant pincers to block it. With a loud "clang," the Angel Holy Sword was deflected, but it left a wound on Ice Empress's giant pincers.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! You wretched souls, you can't even rest in peace in death, still helping humans attack me!" In the next moment, Ice Empress finally switched from offense to defense. " Ice Emperor's Protection!" Suddenly, a thick suit of ice armor condensed from the Ultimate Ice on Ice Empress's body.
At this moment, seeing that everyone had launched an attack, Qian Chen hurriedly activated his Fifth Soul Skill, Killing Sword Qi. A black sword qi was about to be injected into Ice Empress's body through the wound that Qian Renxue had just inflicted with the Angel Holy Sword.
However, when the sword energy arrived, it struck the ice armor that the Ice Empress had condensed with a "clang," and was unable to enter the Ice Empress's body.
Just then, Electrolux finally finished his spell, whispering, " Soul Rend."
The Ice Empress, clad in ice armor formed from the Ultimate Ice, was about to attack Qian Chen's true form when suddenly a sharp pain shot through his head, and he collapsed to the ground with a "thud." "Ah, my head! It hurts so much! How dare you attack my soul!"
" Eternal Wound!" Just as Ice Empress was having a headache, Bibi Dong suddenly unleashed her strongest single-target attack Soul Skill. As if venting some dissatisfaction, this skill, like Qian Chen's Killing Sword Qi, had an attack effect, Ignore Defense and burning the opponent's Soul Power.
"Pfft!" Ice Empress's true form was struck and instantly spat out a mouthful of bright green blood.
"Ah! Die, all of you! Die! I won't let you go!" Ice Empress frantically released the Ultimate Ice essence, but unfortunately, such cold was ineffective against souls. Qian Chen unfolded his six Holy Angel wings and quickly created distance.
"Ah!" Ice Empress weakly lowered the giant scorpion pincers, and with a "boom," snowflakes filled the air.
" Eighth Soul Skill, Angel Divine Punishment," Qian Renxue uttered again. The holy light, carrying scorching flames, struck the Ice Empress's back directly, leaving her crystal-clear scales covered in wounds.
Electrolux shook his head and said, "Oh, this is terrible." With that, his Death Touch was ready, and he launched a magical attack without hesitation.
Ice Empress's life essence also suffered a fatal blow. Bibi Dong stood in mid-air, expressionless, as if she wanted to kill Ice Empress directly.
Electrolux chuckled and said, "This big scorpion is pretty good. It's quite resilient. After taking so much damage from us, it should be behaving itself by now."
Qian Renxue nodded, "There shouldn't be any threat anymore." Then, Qian Renxue turned to Qian Chen and said, " Qian Chen, use your Ignore Defense to cut off this scorpion's two large pincers and tail. She'll be yours."
Qian Chen nodded, and the next moment he arrived in front of Ice Empress. His Eighth Soul Ring shone, and the Seven Kill Sword gleamed with white light. With three slashes, Ice Empress's two large pincers and scorpion tail were severed, leaving him with no power to fight back.
Seeing that Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Electrolux had already faded considerably after only a short time of fighting, Qian Chen said, "Thank you all for helping me subdue this Ferocious Beast today. Please continue to rest in my Sea of Consciousness."
Electrolux and the other two nodded and entered Qian Chen's Sea of Consciousness once again. The Golden-Feathered Scarlet Eagle hurriedly followed. Qian Chen didn't blame the Golden-Feathered Scarlet Eagle for not helping today, after all, it was about besieging and killing Soul Beast, and it must have felt bad about it.
Qian Chen spread his six wings and arrived at the snow pit where Huo Yuhao had fallen. It turned out that Huo Yuhao had already woken up and had indeed witnessed Qian Chen fighting with Ice Empress, and finally cutting off Ice Empress's large pincers and tail.
Huo Yuhao quickly flattered, "Teacher, you really are invincible! I was right about you."
Qian Chen wanted to blame him, but couldn't bring herself to say it. After all, Huo Yuhao was only trying to get the million-year-old External Soul Bone remnant of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Qian Chen remained silent, then, carrying Huo Yuhao, approached the ravaged Ice Empress and said, " Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, begin your performance. Persuade the Ice Empress to sacrifice herself for Huo Yuhao."
After speaking, Qian Chen sat down to rest and recover. At this time, the entire area was still sealed off by the freezing effect of the Ice Empress's Eternal Frozen Domain, and there was no disturbance from the cold wind or Soul Beast.
This time Sky Dream Ice Silkworm once again controlled Huo Yuhao, bringing him to Ice Empress's side. Touching Ice Empress's head, it said with apparent heartache, "My Bingbing, you're so pitiful! You've been beaten like this. Come, come, let me tell you about our plan to become gods."
Then Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began to talk at length about his God-Making Plan, but the Ice Empress became more and more disdainful as she listened. Now that she no longer had her large pincers or poisonous stingers, she had no way to attack, and she had to rely on the remaining Soul Power in her body to resist the continuous damage from the Eternal Wound and the Death Touch.
As Ice Empress listened, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of dark purple blood. Seeing Ice Empress's life force rapidly draining away, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm panicked and said, " Bingbing, quick, your body is about to collapse! Quickly sacrifice yourself to Huo Yuhao! I will guide you and ensure your soul is preserved. Once Yuhao becomes a god..."
Before Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could finish speaking, Ice Empress roared, " Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, get out of here! I'd rather die than live in the same body as you!"
Ice Empress's eyes darted around, then she looked at Qian Chen, who was recovering nearby, and called out, "That human Titled Douluo, I just heard your name is Qian Chen, is that right?"
Upon hearing Ice Empress's call, Qian Chen finally opened his eyes, nodded, and said, "Yes. Ice Empress, what is it you want to say?"
"Mmm, come here, I want to tell you something." Ice Empress's voice was no longer the charming and seductive one she had before; instead, it carried a hint of seriousness.
Seeing that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to have encountered a problem in persuading Ice Empress, Qian Chen approached Ice Empress and said, " Ice Empress, please speak your mind. I can assure you that you will not lose out by sacrificing yourself to Huo Yuhao, and your consciousness and soul will be preserved. I swear on my Angel Martial Soul."
Ice Empress shook her head and said, "I don't want to sacrifice myself for Huo Yuhao. He'll become a god? I see no hope for him. On the contrary, I think you have a better chance of becoming a god. Anyway, I'm going to die soon, so I want to sacrifice myself for you."
