……

And these three people.

The ice ring beneath Ling Xinyao's feet suddenly exploded into pale white ice shards, piercing through the vines that had wrapped around her ankle.

Bai Tianrui took a half-step forward, replacing the outermost collapsing defense line. He held his hands together in a gesture of respect, and the vast stardust suddenly surged. "Fifth Soul Skill: Star River Ring Stop!"

A miniature vortex, entirely composed of shattered stardust, suddenly expanded from his palm.

The starlight surged, instantly transforming into a dazzling ring-shaped galaxy with a diameter exceeding twenty meters, its tail like a dragon, enveloping everyone.

The raging vines crashed into the flowing star ring, and with a series of loud "bangs," they were partially decomposed and assimilated.

The shimmering starry sky faintly contained the absorbed emerald green and the dark red of meteorites.

Bai Tianrui's face turned deathly pale under the starlight—this move, using the opponent's own methods against them, was originally a clever reverse application of the transformation of stars, but now it was like drinking poison to quench thirst.

This move requires a lot of soul power, especially the more attacks the opponent makes, the more soul power he needs. He hadn't dared to use it rashly in this vine formation before.

Now, with each attack of the vine formation, the Star River Devouring technique draws a scoop of blood from his soul sea!
On the other side, Zhi Xuan's face was contorted in a ferocious grimace: "Secret Technique - Azure Diamond Drill!"

All the azure vines he could control twisted and coiled around him, transforming into massive, wildly spinning drills that, carrying his almost self-destructive will, crashed headlong into the surging vine wall on the outside!

Sizzle—!
Vines flew like a torrential rain as the huge drill brutally tore open a path, severing vines wherever it went.

But after only breaking through twenty meters, the drill bits were all torn to pieces by the tenacious wisteria and sword willow.

Zhi Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his body went limp and he knelt down, his vision going black.

He managed to squeeze out a hoarse sentence: "Little...Little Ruizi...Brother...Brother can't go on...You...Don't be a coward..."

Amidst the swirling starlight, Bai Tianrui's face twitched violently, sweat pouring down his face, yet he managed to squeeze out a twisted smile through gritted teeth: "Fine, a man can't... say no, even if he dies!"

Zhi Xuan felt a sweet taste in his throat, and blood welled up again. He collapsed to the ground completely, utterly exasperated: "You... damn it... I won't be satisfied until you've made me... cough cough..."

……

The pinkish-white light pierced through the vine shadows at just the right moment and precisely entered the bodies of the kneeling Zhixuan and the gritting-teeth Bai Tianrui who was unleashing the Star River.

Where the petals touched his skin, Zhixuan's curled-up body stopped trembling, and Bai Tianrui's face, which had turned purple from holding his breath, also relaxed a little.

Almost simultaneously, Ling Xinyao's hair on the outside gradually lost its black color, spreading out like the first snow, with frost spreading across her eyebrows and eyelashes.

A dark soul ring silently opened beneath her feet, and an ice pattern appeared on her forehead like an ancient brand.

Fifth Soul Skill: Ring of Ice Radiance

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold air in front of him condensed into a giant ice crystal flower with a diameter of over ten feet. The giant flower bloomed and then shattered, and the fragments reassembled into a dark blue ice ring that hung in mid-air!
Om-!
The dark blue ice ring trembled slightly, followed by four smaller ice rings that condensed one after another, contracting inwards.

With each contraction, the biting cold intensified, as if the air had solidified into a bluish-gray lead block.

This soul skill temporarily increases the power of ice skills, similar to the Zhu family's "Stone Armor Frenzy".

"Secret Technique: Freezing Three Thousand Miles"

Ling Xinyao pushed forward with both arms!
A burst of icy white extreme cold erupted from his palm, suddenly transforming into a fuse through five layers of ice rings!

The rocks along the way cracked and burst, and ice spikes broke through the ground like raging pythons, covering the distance of fifty meters in an instant, and crashed hard into the main trunk of the relentlessly slashing Azure-Gold Sword Willow.

Bah——!
The icy white frost, as if alive, spread and climbed along the vines like a spiderweb, covering the main trunk, hanging vines, and swirling blade-like leaves and whips in an instant with a thick layer of cold armor. The frozen, sword-like branches hung stiffly in mid-air, and even the sharp whistling of the wind through the gaps in the leaves froze into a deathly silence.

The chilling aura surging around her suddenly receded, and her long, snow-white hair faded, returning to its original ink-like color.

The icy patterns between his brows disappeared, and his usually aloof and cold eyes now appeared slightly unfocused, and his body swayed almost imperceptibly.

The back remained straight, yet it resembled a solitary plum branch after a snowstorm, its resilience still intact, its aloofness faded, revealing a hint of weakness and softness.

Her and Zhixuan's attack finally relieved Bai Tianrui, who was inside the Star River Barrier, of the immense pressure.

…………

At the heart of the Heavenly Battle Formation, Xue Shiming's deep voice was exceptionally clear amidst the surging soul power: "Swan Sacred Punishment - Thunderous Heavenly Conquest".

The void suddenly collapsed!

It is not a phantom of a soul skill.

The true form of the swan tore through space, and with the blessing of Xue Shiming's imperial aura, an imperial aura permeated the air.

Its wings spread out like clouds hanging from the sky, each golden feather burning with pure white holy flame.

The intense heat that burned away all the shadows turned the entire sky into a blazing white inferno!
With the combined support of Tang Chen's thunderous Haotian Force and Ning Zhongtian's divine soul power, two temporary Soul Emperors, Xue Shiming leaped to the high-level Soul Saint.

On the throne, a dark yellow spirit ring silently rippled around Xiao Yi's body, her first spirit skill: [Floating Catkins in the Wind]!
However, this time the soul light did not envelop itself, but was precisely projected onto the Azure Gold Sword Willow that was sealed by solid ice.

She can apply various auxiliary, amplifying, and even offensive soul skills to other branch vines. As one of the branch martial souls, the Sword Willow Vine can naturally bear this power, and with the advantage of the same origin of martial souls, it can further stimulate its potential.

Click...

A series of crisp cracking sounds rang out as the thick frost covering the vines peeled off in a flurry.

What's even more alarming is that after the Azure Gold Vine was infused with the soul light, it emitted an even more dazzling sharpness than before.

Dozens of taut willow branches whistled through the air and rushed into the area of ​​the Holy Flame of the Great Swan. Their speed, their erratic trajectory, and their explosive sharpness made the sound of them tearing through the air extremely shrill.

Many low-level Soul Masters in the spectator stands could only catch a blurry cyan-gold afterimage, but the power it unleashed even surpassed the Azure Diamond that Zhi Xuan had fought so hard to unleash earlier.

This is not just the pull of the "Drifting in the Wind" soul skill, but more like the soul skill detonating the innate skill dormant deep within the Sword Willow Vine.

With the amplification effect of the ancient vine barrier, it became even more ferocious.

Ling Xinyao's eyes were filled with frost, but she could not hide her shock and frustration.

The combined chilling currents of the ten-thousand-year-old soul skill Ice Ring and the secret technique "Frozen Three Thousand Miles" were almost at the strongest ultimate technique "Absolute Zero," and their power was comparable to the ultimate freezing air of the Ice Phoenix of Tianshui Academy... yet they were easily neutralized by a mere hundred-year-old soul skill from the opponent.
Her gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the figure of her 'rival' on the giant vine throne, her mind churning with heavy questions.

This scene, which defied the norms of Soul Masters, also stirred up a silent storm throughout the stands.

Uncontrollable gasps rose from the lower stands, and even in the upper boxes, some Soul Masters frowned – it was common knowledge in the Soul Master world that plant-type martial souls feared ice and fire!

What kind of extraordinary thing is this Azure Gold Sword Willow Vine that is resistant to both ice and fire and can even withstand the holy flames?
Unbeknownst to anyone, this was the legacy of Xiaoyi's fusion of the two heavenly treasures, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

Of all the branching vines, the one that has received the most tempering and nourishment from the divine herb's essence is precisely this original branch, the sword willow vine.

Even Tang San's Blue Silver Grass in later generations was vulnerable to the Ice Phoenix, which possessed pseudo-ultimate ice, demonstrating the profound natural constraints of the plant system and highlighting the remarkable resistance of the Sword Willow Vine at this moment.

The same principle applies to martial spirits: water and fire refine the physical body.

Therefore, if this sword willow vine had a full name, it should be called Small Water and Fire Invulnerable, Indestructible Sword Willow Vine.

Those dozens of fierce willow branches, like suddenly rising poisonous dragons, viciously pierced the wings of the swooping swan, its flames billowing!
