Majestic Tragedy, Continuing Iron Will!

As the seventh elder of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Lie's son was harmed by the Spirit Hall because of Tang Hao. He had always kept this debt in his heart, and now when he saw Yu Tianshuang, a member of the Spirit Hall, his eyes immediately turned red.

"You know I'm from the Spirit Hall, and you still dare to attack? What, has the Clear Sky Sect, after hiding from the world for so many years, finally found the courage?"

Back when the Spirit Hall came to the Clear Sky Sect, they didn't dare utter a sound. The previous sect leader immediately expelled Tang Hao and announced the closure of the sect. Today, he and Zhu Zhuqing came here and actually dared to attack them, which surprised Yu Tianshuang.

"You, a mere Soul Emperor, cannot represent the Spirit Hall. My Clear Sky Sect fears the power of your Spirit Hall, but you, a mere Soul Emperor, do not have the strength to command our utmost respect. If you were here today with a group of Titled Douluo behind you, then my Clear Sky Sect would naturally not dare to provoke you. But now, if you wish to see our Sect Master, let your strength speak for itself!"

"I see, so you're just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Fine, then I'll experience your Clear Sky Hammer firsthand."

After listening to Tang Lie 'Yu Tianshuang glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then drew out the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi and pointed it at Tang Lie.

"No Soul Ring? Twin Martial Souls?"

When Tang Lie saw Yu Tianshuang summon the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, he looked at the exquisitely crafted ice-blue longsword with some confusion, noticing that it had no Soul Ring. But the next moment, he realized that this young man was actually a user of Twin Martial Souls.

"Divine Slaughter's Domain, Eternal Frozen Domain opens! Ice Heaven Frost Sword: Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit, Triple Strike!"

Facing Tang Lie, Titled Douluo wielding the fire-attribute Clear Sky Hammer, Yu Tianshuang dared not be careless. The Absolute Zero Ice Emperor Tailbone appeared behind her, and she immediately unleashed both domains simultaneously, followed by the release of three bone-chilling sword energies.

"Good timing! Kid, it seems I underestimated you. However, your understanding of power is still too shallow. It's good for a young person to have courage, but being too arrogant is not right."

This young man is indeed outstanding, possessing two domains, and the sword energy he casually flicks out is definitely not simple, as can be seen from the bone-chilling coldness. However, this kid is unlucky; he wields the fire-attribute Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang Lie picked up the Clear Sky Hammer at his feet, casually swung it, and the flaming Clear Sky Hammer instantly shattered Yu Tianshuang's attack. Then he leaped up and smashed it down on Yu Tianshuang's head.

Bang bang bang.

The Clear Sky Hammer truly lived up to its reputation as the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world. Each of the attacks from this Blazing Sun Douluo weighed tens of thousands of pounds, and the flames attached to the hammer were also very effective against Yu Tianshuang's ice. The two exchanged blows several times in a short time after getting close, and the enormous force generated by the collision of the hammer and sword caused the surrounding ground to collapse instantly.

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword: Ice Lotus Frost Slash!"

Even with the weakening of the dual domains, Tang Lie still managed to suppress Yu Tianshuang with his fire-attribute Clear Sky Hammer. Yu Tianshuang seized the opportunity to counterattack, instantly stroking her sword with her finger and summoning several ice lotuses around her.

"This kid actually claims to use Soul Skill, and I sensed the Seven Kill Sword Intent in his attacks. He even knows the sword intent of the Slaughter Sect..."

Even in their brief exchange, Tang Lie immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of this young man. Now, with the unleashing of his Self-Created Soul Skill, the ice lotuses began to exude a bone-chilling cold, further reducing his speed.

"Martial Soul Clone!"

"I can't play with him anymore," Tang Lie said, waving his hand. Instantly, the Flaming Clear Sky Hammer transformed into two, one in each hand, and terrifyingly hot Lie Yan erupted from his body as he charged towards Yu Tianshuang.

"Absolute Zero Ice Emperor Tailbone Additional Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Wrath, Ice Heaven Frost Sword: Ice Chill Storm Slash!"

Facing Tang Lie, who wielded two flaming Clear Sky Hammer, Yu Tianshuang's External Soul Bone instantly lit up, illuminating Tang Lie in a fan-shaped ice curtain. Without stopping, she channeled her Soul Power into the icy blade of the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi Sword and thrust it at Tang Lie with all her might. A storm of icy blue sword energy, carrying terrifying chill and sword energy, surged from the tip of the sword and rapidly pushed Tang Lie forward, growing larger and larger as time passed.

At this moment, Tang Lie could only combine the two Clear Sky Hammer in his hands to resist Yu Tianshuang's attack. Even though he possessed Soul Power Level far exceeding that of Yu Tianshuang, he was suppressed by the frost that had reached the Ultimate Ice. He could only rouse all his Soul Power to make the blazing sun around him boil.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Tool Soul True Body! Kid, you're quite impressive. You actually managed to make me unleash the Clear Sky True Body despite my status as a Soul Emperor. You have every reason to be proud!"

Third Soul Skill: Vast Sun Blazing Sun!

After Tang Lie blocked the Ice Chill Storm Slash, he found that even though he had already activated all his Soul Power to form Lie Yan around his body, the sword energy storm still cut his clothes into pieces. Seeing the looks in the eyes of the young disciples of the Clear Sky Sect around him, he became furious. After unleashing his Martial Soul Avatar, firestones like meteorites appeared from the sky and then hurled at Yu Tianshuang.

"Ice Shadow Seven Star Steps!"

Although the firestones Tang Lie summoned in the sky were enormous and fell in a dense, continuous barrage, Yu Tianshuang, with ice mist swirling beneath her feet, dodged them one by one with a mysterious gait. In the gaps between her leaps and shifts, she kept her two fingers pressed against the icy blade of the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi Sword, pouring all her Soul Power into it.

"Transformation... Nirvana!"

As the most powerful sword technique among Yu Tianshuang's current skills, the power of Turning Nirvana is undeniable. At this moment, Tang Lie felt an immense sense of crisis rising above him, and was somewhat dumbfounded. This kid actually had Self-Created Soul Skill, and its power...

"Without solace in my heart, a tragic end awaits. Sixth Soul Skill: Majestic Tragedy, Eighth Soul Skill: Continuing Iron Will, Fifth Soul Skill: Blazing Gap Thunderbolt!"

Tang Lie's sixth and Eighth Soul Skill are amplification Soul Skill with extremely strong side effects. When both are activated together, Tang Lie's strength will increase exponentially in a short period of time. However, correspondingly, once activated, if he does not defeat his opponent within this extremely short time, he will completely lose his combat power.

"Bang!"

Tang Lie, wielding two enormous flaming Clear Sky Hammer, connected the two Clear Sky Hammer together and then threw them at the huge ice-blue longsword falling from the mysterious magic array in the sky. The terrifying explosion, accompanied by a deafening sound, made the people around him cover their ears.

Ninth Soul Skill: Hills and Peaks Leap and Shatter!

After the two Clear Sky Hammer Yu Tianshuang's massive longsword, they spun around and roared back into Tang Lie's hands. Then, Tang Lie unleashed his full Soul Power, and flames emanated from his body. At this moment, Tang Lie was like a Flame Lord, his eyes filled with unwavering determination as he looked at Yu Tianshuang.

"Boy, this is my full-force attack. If you can withstand it, then I'll acknowledge your strength and take you to see the sect leader. If you can't, then you'll leave your life here!"

After saying that, he threw the two Clear Sky Hammer in his hands into the sky. As the two Clear Sky Hammer flew, they grew larger with the wind and automatically connected together in the air. By the time Tang Lie waved his hand to press them down, they had become so huge that the hammerheads could completely cover the place where Yu Tianshuang was below.

"Snow Silence Without Dust!"

No matter what kind of attack it is, once Yu Tianshuang enters the state of Snow Silence Without Dust, it will be shattered by his sword. Especially this kind of energy manifestation attack, the only thing that can restrain him in this state, apart from the same spatial ability, is Yu Yuanzhen's domineering close-range attack.

"Impossible, impossible! What kind of ability is this? How could this be?"

Tang Lie arrogantly swung his hand down on the massive flaming Clear Sky Hammer in the sky, but what happened next was unbelievable. The moment the Clear Sky Hammer Clear Sky Hammer struck, this young man, who was as insignificant as an ant in front of it, simply swung his sword lightly. His Ninth Soul Skill, which he used in the Majestic Tragedy state of Continuing Iron Will and in Clear Sky True Body, was shattered by him as easily as a broken mirror.

"Senior, as per our agreement, I have accepted your Ninth Soul Skill. Can you now take me to see your sect master?"

Looking at the dejected Tang Lie before him, Yu Tianshuang secretly felt fortunate. In fact, if he hadn't used his Ninth Soul Skill and instead chosen to fight him in close combat with the Clear Sky Hammer, which weighs tens of thousands of pounds, Tang Lie might have already been hammered down by now. However, he didn't understand his own abilities and chose this method of attack, which doomed him to failure.

In the Far North, within the Ice and Snow Divine Hall.

"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! That's wonderful, sister! You've got Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring just like that idiot! I wonder if I can handle Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring later on!"

When Shui Bing'er completed the Fourth Trial of the Ice God, her Soul Power broke through to level 70, and she obtained a second God-Given Soul Ring. After absorbing it, through her efforts, she actually made the power of this God-Given Soul Ring reach the level of 100,000 years.

"It's been five years. We've been away from the Skywater Academy for five years now. I wonder how Aunt and Tianshuang are doing? After he joined the Spirit Hall, did he manage to find out about his parents? What level has his cultivation reached now? With the blessing of the Ice God Trial, our Soul Power breakthroughs have been incredibly rapid. And with his talent, I wonder what his situation is now, and if he has a few more women around him..."

Looking at the deep red Soul Ring floating above her body, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but think of Yu Tianshuang, who also possessed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Five years had passed, and she really missed him. She wondered how he was doing now.

"Quick, sister, look at our Fifth Trial!"

"Help the Heavenly Snow Woman and Snow Empress overcome the 700,000-year- Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation!"

Everyone hurriedly checked their Ice God Trial and discovered that their examination content was completely identical, causing them to exchange glances.

"It's actually to help Xue'er overcome the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation... Xue'er wasn't confident she could overcome the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation in the first place, which is why she chose to transform into human form. What was the Ice God thinking, arranging this kind of test for us..."

As the number one fan of Snow Empress, Ice Empress looked at the contents of the God Trial and began to complain helplessly.

"Senior Ice Empress, have you forgotten Yu Tianshuang? This God Trial was basically a freebie for us. I just wonder if Senior Snow Empress would have survived the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation if she had taken human form."

Shui Bing'er's words immediately snapped the frowning Ice Empress out of her daze. Thinking about her own situation, she realized she should have just had Yu Tianshuang transform the Snow Empress into a human as well. How could she have been so foolish...?

"Right, how could I not have thought of that? I completely forgot about that brat Yu Tianshuang, haha. But after I was transformed into a human, my cultivation level did indeed break through from 390,000 to 400,000, but I don't know if that counts as passing the God Trial, because I didn't go through the process of the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation..."

Within the Clear Sky Sect of the Star Luo Empire.

"Sect Master, the Seventh Elder has arrived with an envoy from the Spirit Hall..."

The Clear Sky Sect disciple who came to report looked somewhat uneasy as he looked at Tang Xiao, who was standing at the mountain gate.

"Go down. I've seen it all clearly. This young man from the Spirit Hall is indeed formidable. He actually managed to defeat the Seventh Elder with the cultivation of Soul Emperor. What a pity, alas..."

Seeing how young and outstanding Yu Tianshuang, and thinking of the younger generation in his own sect, Tang Xiao sighed helplessly.

"Sect Master Tang, I am Yu Tianshuang. I have come on behalf of the Spirit Hall to convey a matter to your sect."

Tang Xiao knew that the person Yu Yuanzhen was talking about was Yu Tianshuang, so he specially came out of the hall and waited for Yu Tianshuang at the mountain gate. He was afraid that if the two met, it would affect his Clear Sky Sect. At this time, he was still hesitant about Yu Yuanzhen's proposal. The Clear Sky Sect had been in seclusion for many years and the power of the Spirit Hall was probably even stronger now. He still needed to carefully consider how to choose.

"Young man, you speak."

Just in case, Yu Tianshuang left Zhu Zhuqing at the foot of the mountain. If anything unexpected happened, with Yu Tianshuang's strength, she could use Snow Silence Without Dust to escape on her sword, and Zhu Zhuqing, as an agility-type Soul Master, would not be caught if she escaped from the foot of the mountain.

"His Holiness the Pope intends to bring the Clear Sky Sect under his control, while retaining its position among the Upper Three Sects Clear Sky Sect. I wonder what Sect Master Tang?"

In fact, Yu Tianshuang's purpose was simply to prevent the Clear Sky Sect from leaving the mountain. However, she couldn't reveal her hand in the negotiation. If she said right away that the Spirit Hall didn't want the Clear Sky Sect to leave the mountain, Tang Xiao would definitely think that the Spirit Hall was afraid of the Clear Sky Sect leaving the mountain, so they sent people to prevent them from leaving. Doing so would backfire.

"Our Clear Sky Sect will not be affiliated with the Spirit Hall. As for the position of Upper Three Sects, the Spirit Hall can give it to whomever it wants. Our Clear Sky Sect doesn't care. If that's the purpose of the Spirit Hall sending you here, then you can go back..."

Tang Xiao frowned, looking at Yu Tianshuang with some annoyance. This Spirit Hall was indeed as Yu Yuanzhen said, with great ambitions. They actually wanted to bring his Clear Sky Sect under their control. They didn't even need to discuss this with the elders; they could make the decision themselves. The Clear Sky Sect would not submit to the Spirit Hall.

"Since your sect has no intention of becoming part of my Spirit Hall, I hope your sect can continue to live in seclusion. Since we cannot be friends, then we also do not wish to be enemies."

Having anticipated that Tang Xiao would not agree, Yu Tianshuang shrugged indifferently and continued, "As long as Clear Sky Sect agrees to continue to live in seclusion, then my goal will be achieved."
