Chapter 1524 Yin Yang Strike

Requesting recommendation votes and monthly tickets

Today is the last day of the month, so I'm posting this now.

……

The true phoenix is ​​the most powerful divine beast in the world, and its martial soul is at least a super soul beast.

The ice phoenix before us is merely a form forcibly elevated through the power of martial soul fusion. It is still a far cry from the might of a super soul beast, but it is enough to be among the ranks of king-level martial souls.

However, the mere appearance of this king-level Ice Phoenix, the ultra-low temperature cold current it released, its extreme chill, and its will to freeze all things had suddenly risen to a heart-palpitating level, comparable to Zhan Ruoxi's Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul, or even surpassing it.

This means that the ice phoenix possesses second-tier ice attributes and is a martial soul fusion skill composed of level 54 Water Ice Wave and level 52 Snow Dance, whose power reaches the peak of mid-tier Soul Saint (level 76).

The ice phoenix hovered above the fusion light array, its cold phoenix eyes locked onto the divine pearl above Chen Xiaojun's head.

With a slight flap of its wings, countless ice crystal fragments swept towards Chang'an like a polar blizzard.

The first to bear the brunt was Ma Liang, who had just managed to stabilize the situation.

His Nine Heavens Phoenix Martial Soul phantom let out a mournful cry under the suppression of the Ice Phoenix's pure chill, and the flames instantly dimmed and withered.

Ma Liang's face turned pale, and he let out a muffled groan. His Martial Soul Possession state was directly shattered, and his soul power backfired, causing him to stagger backward.

The Ice Phoenix's goal was crystal clear.

It transformed into a streak of icy blue light that pierced the sky, ignoring the distance in space. Its sharp beak, carrying an extreme chill capable of freezing the sun itself, fiercely pounced on the core—the Sun God Pearl—that hung above Chen Xiaojun and radiated warm light and heat.

Its posture clearly indicated that it intended to seize, freeze, and crush the only source that could resist its chill.

Although the Sun God Pearl's light is wondrous and contains supreme Yang power, it is, after all, a rudimentary form condensed only at the fifth level of Chen Xiaojun's Nine Yang Divine Skill. While the energy it contains is pure in nature, its magnitude is far inferior to that of the Ice Phoenix, a martial soul fusion skill.

Under the terrifying pressure of the approaching ice phoenix, the golden light on the bead flickered violently, and a layer of visible frost crystals even began to condense on its surface...

……

Meanwhile, the ceremony was held on a high platform with the best view to the south.

Prince Xue Jiqing, who is hosting the competition today, sits in the main seat.

His gaze also fell on the majestic ice phoenix phantom on the arena, and he nodded slightly, praising, "Nephew Shui Rong, your little daughter has truly inherited your talents; she is exceptionally gifted."

Shui Rong, sitting to his side, had a calm expression, but a hint of fatherly satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He bowed slightly in response, "Uncle, you flatter me. Binglan still needs to be tempered."

Zuo Tinggang chimed in, his tone somewhat enigmatic: "You've protected her way too well."

"With such talent and strength, as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenbei, if she were willing to show it more often, how could she not have a place on the list of prodigies?"

"In my opinion, she is worthy of being on the list and is by no means inferior to the so-called 'Twelve Beauties'."

Upon hearing this, Shui Rong merely raised a very faint smile, a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

He didn't reply, but his expression clearly showed that even if he didn't deliberately protect her, how many people in Tianshui Province would dare to easily lay a hand on Shui Rong's daughter?

This Duke of Zhenbei, Shui Rong, was indeed an outstanding figure of his generation.

He was about the same age as the current Heaven Dou Emperor Xue Yingtao, only around sixty years old, but he had already entered the Title Douluo realm many years ago and was a powerful figure in the region.

Shui Binglan was his daughter, born when he was over forty years old, and she was the fifth child in his family.

Because Shui Rong's reputation was too great, and because Shui Binglan had been showered with family resources since childhood, she rarely had the opportunity to go all out and show her full strength. Therefore, she did not make it onto the "Top Prodigies List," which required fierce battles and trials to accumulate prestige and thus be listed.

However, her name appeared on the "secondary list," which focuses more on immediate combat effectiveness, and she ranked third on the secondary list!

This position carries far more weight than many renowned young talents on the main list.

Therefore, Zuo Tinggang's statement that she was no less than the Twelve Beauties was indeed a fair assessment, and even slightly conservative.

On the high platform, the eyes of several important figures once again focused on the arena.

There, the Ice Phoenix, with its majestic power that seemed to freeze everything, reached out its claws to grab at the teetering sun; the outcome appeared to be decided in the blink of an eye.

……

Chen Xiaojun will certainly not sit idly by and wait for his death.

A resolute golden-red light, like flowing lava, began to spread and outline rapidly on his cheek, forming an ancient and mysterious pattern—the [Sun Mark].

The appearance of these patterns caused his already peak soul power to surge forward, reaching level 63.

The immense power of pure Yang surged forth like a burst dam, pouring into the Sun God Pearl above his head.

The divine pearl, which was already dazzling under the golden-red light, suddenly shone brightly, as if a miniature sun had been ignited in an instant.

Golden flames burst forth in a tangible form, violently repelling the approaching icy chill several meters away. Although the Ice Phoenix's power was vast and unparalleled, the Sun God Pearl's light was still suppressed by the freezing cold of the space, confining it to a small area and making its radiance somewhat limited. However, it was no longer in a precarious state, teetering on the verge of extinction, and was able to contend with it, resulting in a stalemate.

Just then, a cool and soft hand gently but firmly touched Chen Xiaojun's back.

It's Xiaoyi.

She didn't speak, but a powerful, pure, and infinitely vital energy from the Big Dipper rushed into Chen Xiaojun's body like a galaxy pouring down from the heavens.

Not only did Xiao Yi awaken her life force, but she was also surrounded by a soft silver glow. On her cheeks, a cool and mysterious silver-white [Moon Mark] appeared, completely different from the golden-red sun mark on Chen Xiaojun's face.

Her soul power aura was also released without reservation—level 64.

A boundless life energy flowed around her, like an elf queen awakening in the forest.

At the same time, a radiant light, centered on nine brilliant points of light and extending into the Big Dipper constellation, rose slowly from above her head, swirling and ascending. That was the symbol of the fifth level of her Big Dipper Great Technique—[Big Dipper Star Swirl].

The star swirled high in the sky, not stopping, but transforming into a stream of light that shot straight toward the Sun God Pearl above Chen Xiaojun's head!

Om-!
The Sun God Pearl and the nine stars of the Big Dipper collided unexpectedly in the void above Chen Xiaojun's head.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a silent hum like the birth of the universe.

The golden-red light of the Sun God Pearl and the silver-white light of the Big Dipper began to merge and resonate with each other the moment they came into contact, according to a mysterious and ineffable law.

The next moment, a scene that left everyone speechless unfolded in the air above the arena.

A huge, complex, and flowing phantom image of the Big Dipper instantly unfolded, covering most of the arena space.

The seven main stars shone brightly, while the auxiliary stars swayed and shone, outlining the trajectory of the stars in the sky.

This scroll is dazzling and brilliant, as if it were projecting a vast starry sky onto the world. Its brilliance even briefly overshadowed the real sun in the sky.

Yin and Yang flow in harmony, and the universe resonates with them!
The power of the sun, moon, and stars, guided by the Big Dipper constellation and the Sun God Pearl, achieved an unprecedented harmony and unity.

The Sun God Pearl, which was suspended in the center of the Big Dipper diagram, suddenly changed shape.

The pure golden-red color was permeated and diffused by a deep and sacred purple radiance, eventually transforming into an incomparably noble color containing the primordial power of the beginning of creation—purple-gold.

This purple-gold divine pearl was not excessively large in size, but the light it emitted seemed to have a tangible "weight" and "presence".

As their strength increased, the Heavenly Dipper Yin-Yang Strike became increasingly profound.

It no longer simply resisted the cold wave, but transformed into a torrent of purple-gold energy, actively and righteously surging back towards the swooping ice phoenix.

The golden radiance and the icy blue chill collided once again.

This time, the Ice Phoenix's ultra-low temperature, capable of freezing space, clashed fiercely with the purple-gold torrent that had merged the power of heaven, earth, yin, yang, and stars.

The annihilation of energy is silent and imperceptible, only causing endless fragments of light and ice crystal dust to erupt at the contact surface.

The sunlight, which had previously been suppressed to the point of only being able to protect itself, now faintly burst forth with a powerful thrust.

The Ice Phoenix's diving momentum came to an awkward halt. Its massive and elegant body even trembled for the first time due to the reaction force of the collision. Under the wash of purple-gold light, the tips of its magnificent tail feathers began to show fine, glass-like cracks.

The icy chill could no longer rage, and the purple-gold light began to illuminate this frozen world, faintly showing an overwhelming power over the Ice Phoenix!
……

On the high platform, Shui Rong's usually calm expression finally showed an extremely subtle change at this moment.

He looked at the deep and magnificent starry sky scroll that had replaced the frozen world on the arena, and the purple-gold divine light that blended the sun, moon and stars, and a trace of solemnity flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Prince Xue Jiqing leaned forward slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair, his dignified gaze filled with inexplicable emotions.

……

Seeing the Ice Phoenix being constantly suppressed under the torrent of purple-gold star map, and even the fine cracks appearing on its magnificent tail feathers, a faint trace of urgency flashed deep in Shui Binglan's eyes.

She quickly glanced at the back of the group, and Yuzuru Hanyu immediately understood.

The fifth spirit ring beneath Yuzuru Hanyu's feet shone brightly, like the aurora rising from the depths of an icy abyss—[Ice Soul Condensation Mirror].

A huge rhomboid ice mirror with ancient ice patterns wrapped around its edges quickly solidified in front of him, its surface shimmering with light and its cold soul power surging.

The mirror was precisely aimed at the ice phoenix in the sky, which was struggling against the star map.

As descendants of the Yu family, a family with a rich heritage in Tianshui Province, their understanding of the rare and unique soul beasts of the Northern Territory, the "Mirror Beasts," far surpasses that of ordinary people.

The Yuzuru family's "Ice Mirror" martial soul and the Mirror Shadow Beast's innate copying and mapping soul skills have an almost innate compatibility in terms of attributes and ability tendencies.

On the surface of the Ice Soul Condensation Mirror, the figure of the Ice Phoenix was clearly reflected, revealing every detail.

However, the soul power contained in the Ice Phoenix was too vast and its attributes too extreme. Relying solely on the skill of the fifth soul ring, the mirror surface trembled violently, and the ice patterns on the edges seemed unable to withstand the pressure, emitting a faint groan. The projection appeared unstable and unsteady, clearly unable to perfectly replicate it.
