"Very likely!"
Cai Meier nodded, agreeing with Xian Lin'er's guess. If the Snow Empress had returned to the Extreme North, this white bear soul beast wouldn't have needed to reveal itself at all. The Snow Empress alone would have been enough to take on everyone present.
Of course, Ma Xiaotao was an exception. She carried the ancestral inheritance of the Phoenix God Horse, Ma Hongjun, and was the successor to a god-position!
Brilliant lights of various colors lit up on Xian Lin'er's body as she took out a collection of eighth-rank soul tools, equipping and readying them. She looked like a mechanized Valkyrie, which was perfectly in line with her title.
"Since the Snow Empress isn't here, these two soul beasts have hit a wall! Dean Cai, you take one, I'll take the other—let's deal with them!"
Hearing Xian Lin'er's words, Cai Meier's martial soul appeared behind her. Two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings rose beneath her feet. Just like Xian Lin'er, their soul ring configurations were standard; neither of them possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Of course, they didn't actually believe they could crush the Titan Snow Demon King and Little White. They simply knew that Ma Xiaotao stood behind them.
A phoenix that had inherited a god-position and been reborn in Nirvana—despite only being a Soul Douluo—possessed Phoenix True Flame so powerful that even a Super Douluo would pale in comparison!
That was their true source of confidence.
The two engaged the Titan Snow Demon King and Little White in battle. Snow and wind swept through the sky, burying everything in the camp. Ma Xiaotao moved rapidly from the rear, constantly hurling Phoenix True Flames at the two beast kings.
Ma Xiaotao glanced back at Ling Luochen. She had intended to ask her for help, but upon seeing Ling Luochen's trembling body, she frowned and said, "Useless. Why aren't you taking them and getting out of here?"
Ever since becoming an evil soul master and being resurrected, Ma Xiaotao's personality had changed.
Hearing this, Ling Luochen did not respond; she simply pretended to panic and backed away.
"Damn it… this flame is strange! Our Ultimate Ice can't extinguish it at all. This isn't ordinary Ultimate Fire!"
The Titan Snow Demon King sensed the Phoenix True Flame and immediately spoke to Little White.
Little White intensified the blizzard, determined to bury everything here under a storm of ice and snow.
"It's just a human who plays with fire. Watch me bury her in snow!" Little White roared, unleashing its soul power without reservation.
Watching from outside the battlefield, the Snow Empress sighed helplessly.
"Little White's cultivation isn't inferior to Ah Tai's, but it's too impulsive at times. It's my fault—I protected it too well, so it rarely encountered real danger."
If the Snow Empress hadn't taken Little White in back then, an orphaned icefield bear in this frozen land would have had almost no chance of surviving—much less growing into the chieftain of the Icefield Bear Clan with two hundred thousand years of cultivation.
"I actually think Little White's personality isn't bad," Jiang Shengyu laughed, watching the roaring giant bear amid the blizzard.
Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er's pressure suddenly intensified. They immediately shouted toward Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao activated her trump card. A phoenix-shaped mark appeared between her brows. Behind her, the fire phoenix martial soul grew more condensed, more immense, spreading its wings to cover the entire sky!
In the instant the power of the fire phoenix erupted, Little White's blizzard was rapidly suppressed—this was a suppression of attribute and energy hierarchy!
In the air, the fire phoenix flapped its wings, unleashing a rain of phoenix meteors. Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er seized the opportunity and charged toward the Titan Snow Demon King and Little White. With Ultimate Ice completely suppressed, the two beast kings could hardly withstand their attacks!
At that moment, a brilliant moonlight fell from the sky. A torrential aura of Ultimate Ice erupted, colliding with the phoenix meteor shower and filling the air with white steam.
The Snow Empress appeared behind the Titan Snow Demon King and Little White, lifting one in each hand and pulling them back! The radiance of the Imperial Cold Sky lit up, and a far more terrifying Ultimate Ice domain descended!
"Fifth soul skill—Execution Immortal Sword Array!"
"Fourth soul skill—Hand of the Heavens!"
"Vacuous-Devouring Flame—Pure Lotus Demon Fire!"
"Behold my Primordial Desolation Heaven-Sealing Finger!"
In that instant, Jiang Shengyu unleashed everything he had besides his martial soul fusion technique.
Four enormous swords descended onto the four cardinal directions, forming a domain of slaughter. Sword-light crisscrossed everywhere. Blood sprayed from Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er's shoulders as they hurriedly summoned soul power to block the invisible sword-qi slicing through the domain.
In the sky, a gigantic hand extended from a golden halo, pressing downward. Jiang Shengyu supported a black-and-white fire lotus in his left hand, while his right hand released the Primordial Desolation Heaven-Sealing Finger.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before the three women could react, Jiang Shengyu's attacks landed. Under the barrage of overwhelming strikes, Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er were blasted into the ground, creating a hundred-meter-deep crater.
The fire lotus filled with destructive energy dropped into the pit. Another terrifying mushroom cloud erupted from within, shaking the earth. Even distant snow-mountains triggered avalanches—white snow cascaded down as if the entire snowy plains were enraged.
In an instant, only Ma Xiaotao remained in the sky. Jiang Shengyu looked at her and clicked his tongue.
"Never thought a corrupted soul master like you would still be chosen by a god. Having a divine ancestor really is convenient."
Ma Xiaotao stared at him coldly. "You and Jiang Qingtong both deserve to die."
"I know. This is a fight to the death."
Jiang Shengyu shook his head. He grasped the Tan Hua Sword; its ice-forged blade gleamed coldly. The Snow Empress stood beside him. Now taller than her, he and the Snow Empress seemed like the center of heaven and earth, radiating dazzling brilliance.
The soul core within Jiang Shengyu spun wildly, elevating his soul power to Ultimate Douluo level in an instant!
If Jiang Qingtong could do it, naturally he could as well!
Sensing the aura Jiang Shengyu released, Ma Xiaotao frowned. As the smoke in the crater cleared, Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er's conditions were finally revealed.
The two lay battered and miserable, covered in sword wounds and burns. All of Xian Lin'er's soul tools had been destroyed—reduced to scrap metal.
"Xiaotao… quickly—invoke the protection of the Phoenix God!" Cai Meier called weakly from within the pit.
Ma Xiaotao's expression shifted. She clenched her fists as the phoenix mark between her brows shone brilliantly. Before her, Jiang Shengyu and the Snow Empress made their own preparations. After recovering, the Titan Snow Demon King and Little White also joined the confrontation, standing opposite Ma Xiaotao.
