Heavenly Snow Woman's Redemption

At the border of the Star Luo Empire, troops collecting corpses carried their fallen comrades, who had perished in the sacred flames, onto carts. Most of the bodies were burned beyond recognition. In just Half Moon, an army of 500,000 had lost nearly 100,000—a terrifying number. Even with friction between the two empires, the Spirit Hall mediated between them, ensuring that casualties were at most a thousand. He watched as his comrades' blood seeped into the earth and flowed into the river, staining the river that separated the borders crimson, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Quickly collect the bodies! The enemy's attack will be here soon. Behind us are your country and your families. For their safety, we must stop the invaders here!"

At this moment, the commander of the Star Luo Empire's army, a Soul Emperor with Soul Power level of 64, watched as his subordinates pushed the corpses of his troops into the mound of corpses that had been prepared for the enemy. The Soul Master team he led consisted of only a few thousand people, and most of them had Soul Power Level of around 30. This was not enough to pose even the Sisi threat to the Angel Legion, which had air superiority.

"Bibi Dong's ambitions are blatantly obvious. According to the Imperial Advisor, the Spirit Hall will soon use the pretext of suppressing and eliminating Evil Soul Master to attack our Star Luo Empire, intending to annex our country, seize our land, and enslave our people. Now I order you to lead an army of 500,000 to the border to annihilate all the invading Spirit Hall traitors and thwart their conspiracy!"

He was the only high-ranking general besides the royal relatives with the surname Dai. Suddenly entrusted with such an important task by His Majesty the Emperor, coupled with the soldiers' patriotic spirit, he was extremely excited. This was the first time he had commanded so many soldiers. However, when he led his troops to the border, built defensive fortifications, and even specially constructed a mound of corpses, he originally thought that he could become famous throughout the world because of this battle. But the cruel reality gave him a harsh slap in the face. On the first day of the battle, the Angel Legion, which lit up the dark night sky with dazzling golden light, mercilessly dealt him a blow. Neither his Soul Master troops nor various crossbows and arrows could hit the golden sun in the sky. In just half a month, 100,000 people died in battle, and the corpses piled up in the mound of corpses were as high as small mountains.

"No... If we just passively let them continue their mindless slaughter, our 500,000-strong army will soon be wiped out. At that point, even the troops guarding the capital won't be able to stop them. I have to find a way. Even killing just one of them will reduce the pressure on our rear."

"Guards, relay my order: at dawn today, the entire army will launch an attack and slaughter the villains of the Spirit Hall, freeing our families from their enslavement and slaughter!"

With morale low, he, as the commander-in-chief, naturally gave a series of morale-boosting speeches. Looking at the soldiers whose morale and fighting spirit had been rekindled by him, he took a deep look at the small Spirit Hall camp across the long river.

"Knock knock knock..."

As dawn broke, three massive wooden planks, which had been prepared beforehand, were erected by the Star Luo Empire soldiers on the long river that separated the country's borders. The sound of the massive planks hitting the ground was deafening, and after kicking up a cloud of dust, the roar of 400,000 troops charging forward was heard. Accompanied by the sound of drums, they charged relentlessly toward the Spirit Hall's camp.

"Are the people of the Star Luo Empire insane? How dare they... No, although we are all high-level Soul Master, we only number around ten thousand, and most of us don't have the ability to fly. If this army of four hundred thousand charges at us, we could be drowned by the spittle of each of us. We can't let them get close!"

Hu Liena was awakened by the deafening sounds of battle outside; the ground was shaking. She instantly understood what was happening, and quickly went outside. Seeing the panicked people before her, she hurriedly spoke to Huyan Zhen:

"Quickly, have the Elephant Armor Sect's troops deploy for defense! We must stop them!"

Upon receiving the order, Huyan Zhen led nearly a thousand disciples of his sect and swiftly moved towards the charging Star Luo Empire soldiers. With a series of "thump thump thump," a series of metal shields, entirely constructed of Soul Power, enveloped the Spirit Hall's tents as if they were solid objects.

"Angel Legion, ascend! Follow me into battle!"

Qian Renxue was also seeing an army of 400,000 charging for the first time, but fortunately she was fearless and quickly calmed down. She drew her Angel Sword, and three pairs of golden wings appeared behind her. She took the lead in flying into the air and then pointed at the Star Luo Empire soldiers who were like a black tide and spoke.

Even though the combined charge of 400,000 troops was indeed impressive, the Elephant Armor Sect, with only 1,000 members, managed to block all their attacks. Meanwhile, the Angel Legion and the Sparrow Bee Sect in the air kept unleashing Soul Skill downwards. At this point, they didn't need to aim at all; they only needed to worry about consuming their Soul Power.

On the ground, the same was true. The Soul Master of the Spirit Hall and the New Seven Great Sects unleashed their fury behind the Diamond Mammoth's sturdy defenses. Even those with the lowest Soul Power present were Soul Ancestor, and the endless slaughter began.

"Freezing Ray!"

Shui Bing'er was also in the air, riding Ice Phoenix, constantly spewing icy blue rays at the crowd on the ground. Any ordinary soldier who came into contact with even a tiny bit of these rays would be frozen and turned into ice shards.

"Scorching Flame Clone, Great Blaze Heaven Piercer!"

Huo Wu watched Shui Bing'er relentlessly roaming the battlefield, reaping lives. Unwilling to admit defeat, she endured the pungent smell of blood and discomfort. Her fiery power surged, and towering pillars of fire erupted from the ground in front of her, turning the soldiers directly into charred remains, which were then reduced to ashes by the wind.

Aside from the Angel Legion, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu —these three battlefield weapons—the rest of the army reaped lives much more slowly. Even so, the 400,000-strong army surged forward like a tide, showing no signs of diminishing. They charged relentlessly, fearless of death, and launched a frenzied attack on the diamond defensive shield constructed by the Elephant Armor.

"No, Holy Maiden, our Soul Power is being depleted too much! We can't hold out much longer!"

At this moment, the Sparrow Bee Sect in the sky had landed. Exhausted of their Soul Power, they were panting heavily on the ground. The Elephant Armor Sect, who were responsible for the defense, were also feeling the strain. How could these thousand Soul Master possibly withstand the relentless attacks of an army of 400,000?

"Sister Na, I... I've exhausted all my Soul Power. There are just too many people; we can't kill them all..."

The fiery clones beside Huo Wu had dissipated. As the one with the largest range attack Soul Skill on the battlefield at this moment, she had reaped at least 10,000 lives before her Soul Power was completely exhausted. However, even so, it was only a drop in the ocean for an army of 400,000. You must know that Qian Renxue's Angel Legion had been killing non-stop for half a month and had only slaughtered 100,000 people. She had killed 10,000 people in just a short time, which was already a terrifying thing.

"I underestimated the strength of the two great empires. I originally thought that ordinary people played a negligible role in the war, but now it seems that the number of people is still the main factor in war. Even if our ten thousand Soul Master can kill several times the number of enemies before our Soul Power is exhausted, once our Soul Power is depleted, we will be instantly overwhelmed by this vast sea of people..."

Now we can only rely on Qian Renxue's Angel Legion and Shui Bing'er to cover our retreat; the Elephant Armor Sect won't be able to hold out for much longer...

Just as Hu Liena was about to communicate with Qian Renxue, who was already in a frenzy of fighting in the sky, several ice walls, each ten meters high and three meters thick, suddenly appeared around the Spirit Hall's camp and in front of the Elephant Armor Sect's diamond shields, completely blocking their view.

First Soul Skill: Diamond Wall Ice Array!

Having reached the Soul Douluo level and with his Dragon Transformation body now bearing wings, Yu Tianshuang appeared, unleashing an ice wall before hovering in the air. He frowned as he looked at the Star Luo Empire's army, which stretched for miles in a dark mass.

"Yu Tianshuang!!! Tianshuang!!!"

Qian Renxue and Shui Bing'er, who were in the air, looked at the familiar ice wall and their faces lit up with joy. Even they had almost no Soul Power left after fighting for so long. His appearance seemed to bring everyone an incomparably strong sense of security. Even the people from the Spirit Hall and the Seven Great Sects breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the solid ice wall rising in front of them. They couldn't help but look up at the youngest elder in the history of the Spirit Hall in the sky.

A gentle breeze stirred the robes of the man in blue, his handsome face and deep, star-like eyes captivating Qian Renxue for a moment. A fiery restlessness rose within her, and her beautiful eyes gradually became misty.

Without speaking to Qian Renxue, Yu Tianshuang flapped her wings and came to Shui Bing'er's side, her expression somewhat grave. "What's going on? Why has the Star Luo Empire launched a full-scale attack? Where are the reinforcements Bibi Dong sent? Hmm? Could it be Qian Renxue?"

At this moment, apart from Qian Renxue and the Angel Legion who had joined him before he left, there were no other people in the Spirit Hall. He couldn't help but look towards the stunningly beautiful golden woman in the sky.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had stopped attacking, her mind wandering, her face flushed, and her eyes were alluring, making Yu Tianshuang look at her with a seductive gaze.

When Yu Tianshuang looked at her with a puzzled expression, she hurriedly turned around and said somewhat arrogantly, "It's... it's me. What, what's wrong? You arrogant brat, do you think I'm not good enough?"

Yu Tianshuang nodded and said honestly, "It's not that you're not qualified, but Bibi Dong should know that in the current battlefield, facing an army of 500,000, what we lack is not high-level Soul Master, but support to bridge the huge numerical gap. You and your Angel Legion are indeed powerful, but you can't kill all these soldiers below, who seem to have no end in sight, right? War is not an ordinary duel where victory or defeat can be decided in a short time..."

"Actually, Bibi Dong didn't expect that the people from the Star Luo Empire would actually go all out and start a desperate battle in just half a month. Sending her was the right decision. With air superiority, the Angel Legion could slowly and steadily erode this army of 500,000. Unfortunately, we didn't expect the Star Luo Empire's generals to be so courageous and spirited. Originally, we hadn't even planned to attack, and we didn't expect that even after nearly 100,000 of them had been killed and their morale was so low, they would still dare to launch a general attack."

After Shui Bing'er brought her here, she told Yu Tianshuang what she knew, including the possible conspiracy behind it that she had analyzed with Hu Liena.

Having witnessed the true Holy Spirit Cult, including Zhong Meng whom he had personally fought, and seeing the eerie death aura emanating from him and the body scorched by Ye Lingling's pure life Soul Power, he suddenly felt something flash through his mind, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

"Senior sisters, you should go and rest first. These ordinary soldiers can't break through my ice wall anytime soon. Let me try to see if I can make them retreat."

In fact, given Yu Tianshuang's attack and Soul Power recovery speed, he could have easily wiped out the entire army of 400,000. However, he couldn't do so. Firstly, Hu Liena and the others below still needed his defense. Secondly, he couldn't act rashly before figuring out what the Holy Spirit Cult was planning.

"Alright, it's up to you now. My Soul Power is almost depleted..."

Shui Bing'er nodded, rode her Ice Phoenix down, and Qian Renxue didn't say anything either, leading the panting Angel Legion down.

First, he raised his hand to reinforce the ice wall that was attacking most fiercely. Yu Tianshuang looked down at the dark mass of troops, especially the soldiers at the forefront who were fearlessly hammering at his ice wall. He sighed helplessly. With the enhanced vision of his Extreme Ice Eternal Frost Eye, he could clearly see the passionate expressions on the faces of these Star Luo Empire soldiers. This was definitely not right. They were not bewitched by the Holy Spirit Cult, but had truly stepped onto the battlefield based on their belief in protecting their homeland.

"Tide of Condensed Snow..."

Faced with this, Yu Tianshuang had no choice but to suppress the ripples in his heart and take the initiative to activate the skill of his Soul Bone. The ice wall that had just covered the entire Spirit Hall camp was actually formed by him activating the Ring Fusion and consuming all his Soul Power. Now that he had reached the Soul Douluo level, his Soul Power recovery speed was only ten minutes from zero to full!

Eighth Soul Skill: The Heavenly Snow Woman's Redemption!

As his words fell, the last deep red Soul Ring on his body lit up, and a huge white phantom appeared in the air. It was an enlarged version of the Snow Empress. After the phantom of this beautiful woman appeared, the temperature of this world dropped sharply in an instant, and a layer of frost began to appear on the bodies of the soldiers at the forefront.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing, especially the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire. They stared blankly at the frost that had risen on their bodies, then looked up at the breathtakingly beautiful figure in the sky, a figure they had never seen before. For a moment, their minds went blank, and their fighting spirit and determination to defend their country were instantly overwhelmed by the illusory figure that filled their eyes.

Yu Tianshuang raised her hand and gently clenched it in the air. The illusory image of the beautiful woman in the air immediately lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and prayed like a devout believer. Suddenly, everyone present heard an ethereal female voice, as if she was saying something, but they could not make out the specific words.

The countless Star Luo Empire soldiers outside the ice wall, like black ants, began to spread as if infected, starting from the first soldier outside the ice wall who was transformed into a human-shaped ice sculpture, as the phantom of the Heavenly Snow Woman Maiden in the sky prayed devoutly. The infection gradually spread until it reached the long river at the border.

On the opposite bank of the long river, a soldier from the Star Luo Empire, standing on a huge wooden plank, looked at his comrade who had turned into an ice sculpture. Enduring the biting cold, he gently touched the ice sculpture in front of him. Then, as if struck by a tremendous force, the ice sculpture began to crack, turning into fine ice powder that scattered on the wooden plank.

The dividing line between white and black separates the two sides of the Star Luo Empire's border along this long river; on one side are white ice sculptures, and on the other side is the remaining half, a black army of two hundred thousand.

"Tian... Tianshuang... killed everyone outside the ice wall..."

As someone most sensitive to the signs of life, Ye Lingling averted her gaze from the illusory figure of the Snow Empress in the sky. In an instant, the overwhelming aura of bloodlust outside the ice wall vanished completely, and she could no longer sense any life outside. She murmured in shock.
