Chapter 738 Black and White

Chapter 738 Black and White
"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless ice shards shot out from the void!

The spirit cat shrieked and revealed its true demon form, trying to escape, but it was still struck by the power of the Dao Domain and had one of its tails severed!
It is said that the "demon cat" lineage can cultivate nine tails.

Each tail represents a life.

This is of course a rumor—

Because there can't possibly be a cultivator with "nine lives" in this world, even if you possess a large amount of the Undying Spring... However, the demon tail cultivated by the spirit cat does have an effect somewhat similar to "the vapor of the Undying Spring".

When severely injured, the Spirit Cat can repair its wounds by consuming the life force accumulated in Fairy Tail.

"It's a tough life."

Upon seeing this, the Snow Master let out a cold laugh.

One hit isn't enough to kill?

It's ok.

The Snow Lord waved his sleeve again, and the Frost and Snow Domain spread out in the night. A white torrent nearly a hundred feet long spewed out from the void. In an instant, the mountain pass was covered by a blizzard. Those demonic beasts that wanted to charge for their lives had no time to react. They were blown into ice sculptures by the wind and snow in an instant, and then exploded!
Click, click, click!
The white parrot stared blankly at the shocking scene of the snow sculpture shattering.

So the difference between the fifteenth and nineteenth realms is really that great?
Is this the destructive power that a peak Yin God expert can unleash on the battlefield?
With his own strength, he was already at his limit to fight Snow Tiger head-on.

However, even when Snow Tiger and Spirit Cat joined forces, they couldn't even get past Snow Lord's "Dao Domain"... No wonder Chen Jingxuan trusted this little shopkeeper to provide close protection for Emperor Da Chu. This one person was worth "a thousand troops and horses," and even if they left the Northern Great Wall, they would not be afraid of being attacked by the demon kingdom.

If I had harbored any disloyal intentions while I was in the city lord's mansion, I would probably have been subdued instantly.

The outcome...

I'm afraid it will end up like the civet cat.

"kill!"

Snow Tiger roared and drew his sword, gripping the "short blade" with both hands upside down. He strode forward through the heavy snow, the blade's energy whistling and incredibly sharp. But just as he cut through one wave of snow, another wave of snow rushed towards him!

This power of the Dao Domain completely suppressed it.

Even with immense brute force, he couldn't exert even a fraction of it...

the other side.

The civet cat also found itself in a muddy place where it was struggling to survive.

She used her sorcery to unleash her Dao Domain and summon gusts of wind, but unfortunately, the difference in their "Dao Realm" comprehension was too great, and the secret techniques of Howling Wind Valley were no match for the divine power unleashed by the Snow Master!
"it's over……"

See this.

White Parrot Heart Lake felt a sense of peace.

The Snow Lord, standing at the pinnacle of Yin Gods... is simply too powerful. She is almost invincible in battles within the Yin God realm. How could the Snow Tiger and the Spirit Cat be her match? Even if the Demon Kingdom were to add another Venerable, it would probably be of no use.

In her opinion.

Only the Yang God can break through this Dao Domain.

Or perhaps it's the legendary "Great Perfection of Yin God" making a move, but given Xue Zhu's strength, even if it were the "Great Perfection of Yin God," she should be able to put up a fight.

The white parrot, who had been stationed at Zhenhaitai for many years and participated in many battles against the demon tides, actually made quite accurate estimates.

Da Chu has two "junior workshop owners".

Lord of Fire, Lord of Snow.

The former has already reached the state of "Great Perfection".

Although the latter is somewhat lacking, it is only a hair's breadth away from the "Great Perfection" realm.

If the one who comes to attack Zhenhaitai tonight is not the Snow Tiger Spirit Cat, but the Venerable Ling, who has reached the "Great Perfection Realm"...

Even if the Snow Lord is no match for her, she can still fight for a while and ensure her safe retreat.

……

The vast snowstorm swallowed up the mountains.

The world was shrouded in darkness. Despite the immense disparity in strength, the demonic beast spirits continued their charge. These low-level beast spirits relentlessly plunged into the Frost and Snow Domain, only to be frozen into ice sculptures, collide with each other, and shatter. In truth, the thoughts of these low-level beings were quite simple. They had gained intelligence through the "Demon Lord's" enlightenment, but even with this brief period of wisdom, they still could not comprehend the complex laws of survival.

At this moment, the minds of these savage beast spirits who followed the Demon Lord in their charge were still almost a complete blank.

They charge forward, driven by a desire for greater rewards.

It was also out of fear of the Demon Lord's punishment.

"That's not quite right..."

As the white parrot watched the ever-growing tide of demons, a strange feeling suddenly arose in its heart.

The Snow Lord has already suppressed the two Demon Lords.

The beast tide showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, it grew even stronger.

obviously.

At this moment, what drives these beast spirits is not "greed," but "fear"!
They fear neither snow tigers nor civets.

Do not!
A more terrifying thought suddenly occurred to the white parrot.

Is it possible that even the Snow Tiger Spirit Cat, charging so desperately against the Frost and Snow Domain, was because of "fear"?
"Back off."

The Snow Lord suddenly spoke.

Despite having already suppressed the two demon lords with her Dao Domain, the smile on Xue Zhu's face gradually disappeared.

Deep in the snowstorm.

At the edge of the silvery-white earth, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

It was a figure in a white robe, the color of which was similar to the snow.

Although the face was not clearly visible, it was clear that the person was carrying a long stick and walking very slowly, appearing unusually lonely and desolate in the heavy snow.

"..."

I only caught a glimpse of that figure.

The pressure on Xuezhuan suddenly increased by three points.

The man carried not only a long staff but also a wine gourd. Countless demonic beasts charged before him, while he walked alone, silently drinking, like a reclusive leader. The Snow Lord was certain that the man had seen him long ago, and had also seen his "Frost and Snow Domain."

"This is... the true master of the demon tide?"

After a while.

Even with the limit of its divine sense, the white parrot managed to detect the figure's presence.

She spoke nervously, her voice tinged with a hint of relief: "It's a Yin spirit!"

Once you reach the fifteenth level of cultivation, distinguishing between Yin and Yang spirits becomes much easier.

After condensing the Dao.

As the Dao domain expands, it will cover heaven and earth, temporarily replacing the "Heavenly Dao" within a certain radius.

The pressure from the Yang God realm is something that the Yin God realm simply cannot match.

Even prodigies like Xie Xuanyi and Cui Zhen could not eliminate or erase the gap in their "Great Dao" level.

This is why the white parrot felt fortunate.

The strange figure drinking alone released only a three-foot-wide Dao Domain to envelop himself, blocking out the wind and snow.

The demonic aura emanating from that Dao Domain has not yet transcended the realm of Yin God!
This is not the Great Dao... this is the Dao Realm!
"..."

However, Yukihime's expression did not relax at all; on the contrary, she became even more tense, and even her voice trembled as she spoke.

She took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "White Parrot... take His Majesty and leave this place!"

"Lord Snow Master?"

The white parrot paused for a moment.

next moment.

A loud hum exploded in the air beside my ears.

That solitary figure, several miles away, drank wine and casually poked someone with a stick across the vast distance!
boom!
The golden staff extended, piercing through the void, and directly struck the Frost and Snow Dao Domain. This strike shattered countless ice sculptures in the Snow Valley and crashed heavily onto the most solid and thickest point of the Snow Lord Dao Domain... This was an incredibly precise strike. The one who struck the staff seemed to be "effortlessly" doing it, but everything was under control.

He could tell where this Dao Domain was strong and where it was weak.

If Snow Tiger and Spirit Cat possessed this ability, they would surely seize the opportunity to break through the weak points of the Dao Domain in one fell swoop!

But he was different from those who "took shortcuts"...

This strike landed squarely on the most solid part of the Dao Domain!
With a "crack," the core of the formation, which was covered with hundreds of layers of frost and snow, was pierced by the golden staff and shattered!
In just a few breaths, the cracks spread rapidly—

"What?! What's going on?!"

The white parrot stared in horror, unable to believe what it was seeing.

one strike.

Just one blow.

The Snow Lord's Dao Domain was shattered. Is this something a Yin God Realm expert could do? Was the one who just made a move a "Great Perfection" expert from the Demon Kingdom?

"retreat!!!"

Crimson blood vessels welled up in the Snow Lord's eyes.

She stared at the drinking figure several miles away, and the premonition of danger in her heart suddenly increased several times, even dozens of times—all of this happened too fast.

The white parrot suddenly realized what was happening and tried to turn around, but the next blow came crashing down again!

boom!
This strike... is still the strongest point for attacking the Dao Domain!

Golden light, like a rainbow, pierced through the wind and snow.

The Snow Lord's "Frost and Snow Domain" barely withstood two blows before being completely shattered into countless fragments.

The golden staff did not press its advantage and instead thrust out a third time.

The beam of light, which stretched for miles, vanished.

"Susususu..."

After the heavy snowfall and the shattering of the Dao Domain, the world returned to peace.

It turns out that the snowfall in the border region tonight was not as heavy as expected.

Snow Tiger and the Spirit Cat have regained their freedom.

The two demon lords exhaled deeply, shook off the snow dust from their shoulders, and exchanged a complicated look, with lingering fear in their eyes.

They knew that their strength was inferior to that of the Snow Lord.

But they still charged forward, fighting desperately...

the reason is simple.

Under the suppression of absolute power, they were not much different from the demonic beast spirits.

The real mastermind behind tonight's attack.

It's neither a civet nor a snow tiger.

It was the monkey carrying a stick and drinking wine.

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you."

After the golden light disappeared, the white-robed ape, who had been drinking at the edge of the snowstorm just moments before, took a step and his physical body crossed the void, appearing directly at the foot of the mountain.

He held a wine gourd in his hand, and although he spoke politely, his eyes were full of indifference.

Although the Dao Domain is broken.

But still, a lot of frost and snow fell on his shoulders.

The monkey withdrew his Dao Domain, letting the snowflakes hit his cheeks. He tilted his head back and took another swig of wine, then closed his eyes, looking extremely relaxed, as if he didn't care at all about the surprise attack launched by the "human cultivator" opposite him.

Given the Snow Lord's level of strength, launching an attack at such a short distance...

Even a "perfect" level would find it difficult to perfectly block.

But the Snow Lord did not move.

The white parrot, which was preparing to turn back and flee to the mountain, did not move.

The former knew that even if they attacked, it would be pointless.

The latter was suppressed in place by the powerful demonic energy and was unable to break free.

"The Holy Prince".

The Snow Queen looked at the snow-white ape not far away, her expression complicated: "I never expected... that you would appear here tonight..."

Zhenhaitai is located at the easternmost point of the Great Wall in the northern border region.

Those who usually appear here are demon cultivators from the Eclipse Swamp.

The appearance of Howling Valley is already against common sense.

As for the Holy Prince of "Great Ape Mountain," there's no need to elaborate further.

A person of this caliber shouldn't have shown up in person!
In a sense... the Holy Prince's status is almost the same as "Chu Guo's". He is the future sole leader of Great Ape Mountain and the most promising and powerful supreme being in the Demon Kingdom!
"Da Chu has the ambition to send out the 'emperor' as bait."

The Holy Prince slowly finished his drink, stretched out his arm, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand, and chuckled softly, "The Demon Kingdom... naturally cannot show weakness either..."

Say it.

He looked up at the mountaintop and met the gaze of the young emperor.

The snow and wind became thinner.

Chu Guo, leaning on his paper umbrella, could see very clearly from the mountain. He saw that Xue Zhu's steady advantage was shattered by a single blow.

The ferocious-looking monkey was now looking up at him with a grin.

"..."

The young emperor took deep breaths, recalling his teacher's teachings and instructions, without showing the slightest bit of fear.

He looked back at her with utmost calmness.

The knuckles gripping the umbrella handle stopped trembling at that moment.

"interesting."

The Holy Prince saw this gaze and felt the power contained within it.

"This guy... isn't afraid of me..."

The Holy Prince shifted his gaze back and said meaningfully, "It seems that Chen Jingxuan anticipated tonight's situation... I'm a little curious, besides your trump card, what other methods has he prepared?"

Say it.

The Holy Prince's gaze swept over every inch of the area.

He looked at the white parrot behind the Snow Lord and shook his head.

It's obvious that there are only two cards here.

It's neither the Snow Lord nor the White Parrot.

The Holy Prince fell into a brief state of thought.

The entire mountain was deathly silent.

Xuehu spoke at this moment, his voice sincere: "Your Highness, time is running out... 'that person' instructed that we must finish this quickly, or things will change."

"……Um?"

These words interrupted the Holy Prince's thoughts.

He slowly turned around and looked at Xuehu expressionlessly.

The imposing and awe-inspiring Venerable of Howling Wind Valley immediately lowered his head, as if he were a child who had done something wrong.

"I know exactly what to do."

The Holy Prince spoke softly, "Why bother killing these two? A single blow... and they're done for."

The voice just fell.

The Holy Prince gently kicked the golden staff that was planted in front of him and stuck into the snow.

He exerted a light touch, sweeping the stick across effortlessly—

Rumble, rumble!

A flash of golden light appeared, and this seemingly light blow unleashed a destructive force that could almost destroy mountains and overturn seas!

"!!!"

Xuehu's eyes widened as countless gusts of wind swept past him. The terrifying force, even just the aftershocks, was enough to make him kneel down involuntarily!
As for the Snow Lord who was bearing the direct pressure, he was even paler than before.

She channeled all her energy to re-condense the "Dao Domain"!
Suddenly, the void shattered, and tens of millions of frost and snow burst forth, condensing into a solid barrier beside him!
But this time...

The Frost Snow Dao Domain couldn't even withstand a single blow!

In an instant, the golden cudgel, carrying the force of millions of tons, smashed into the Dao Domain, shattering it into pieces!
The saying goes, "One force can overcome ten techniques..."

The reason why the snow tiger couldn't break through the Dao Domain before was simply because its strength was too weak.

If it were the Holy Prince, the outcome would be completely different!
The white parrot closed its eyes in agony, preparing to face death.

however.

This devastating blow, after shattering the Frost and Snow Domain, did not continue... of course, not because the "Holy Prince" was merciful.

In the depths of the night after the wind and snow have subsided.

The magnificent golden light slammed down at the end of the long staff.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared—

That figure stood in stark contrast to the Holy Prince.

One black, one white.

One is immersed in the darkness.

A person stands in the heavy snow.

The dark figure stretched out its palm and pressed down on the thick, pillar-like golden staff.
