The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

Dean Tiansheng frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment.

He finally nodded: "The rules do not prohibit contracting spirit beasts. Blood Sky River, you can continue."

Dean Taicang's face turned ashen, yet he was unable to refute it.

That's the rule, and he had nothing to say about it.

Xue Tianhe laughed heartily, and the Blood Demon Beast roared to the sky. The sound was deafening, making people's souls tremble.

"Bing Tianxiao, today is your death day!"

The Blood Demon Beast lunged at Bing Tianxiao, its enormous blood claws slamming down with earth-shattering power.

Bing Tianxiao looked at the blood-red claws that blotted out the sky, a disdainful smile curving his lips.

"What a beast! How dare you be so insolent?"

He took a deep breath, and the power of the Overlord Dragon Body within his body surged wildly.

Golden light burst forth from his body, shooting straight into the sky.

Within that light, a gigantic blue dragon shadow slowly emerged.

It perched atop Bing Tianxiao's head, its dragon roar shaking the heavens and earth, causing the entire golden battle platform to tremble violently.

"That's... a dragon?!"

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Dragons are legendary beings, the supreme beings on the Heavenly Ranking of the Myriad Beasts.

It is many times stronger than the Blood Demon Beast.

How could Bing Tianxiao summon a dragon shadow?

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Blood Sky River's eyes were filled with disbelief as he roared madly, "How could you possibly summon a dragon?! That's a divine beast!"

Bing Tianxiao did not answer, but simply looked at the Blood Demon Beast indifferently.

The golden dragon shadow opened its mouth wide, and a golden dragon breath surged out, heading straight for the Blood Demon Beast.

Wherever the dragon's breath passed, space was violently distorted, as if it were about to be burned through.

The Blood Demon Beast sensed that terrifying power, its eyes filled with fear, and it instinctively wanted to run away.

But it was too slow, and the golden dragon breath instantly engulfed it.

"Awooo—!"

The Blood Demon Beast let out a shrill scream, and its huge body rapidly dissolved in the dragon's breath, turning into a pool of blood, leaving not even a trace.

Xue Tianhe stood there dumbfounded, staring at the pool of blood, his mind completely blank.

The Blood Demon Beast... that was the Blood Demon Beast ranked thirteenth on the Ten Thousand Beasts Record, yet it was killed by Bing Tianxiao's dragon breath?

"You...you..."

He pointed at Bing Tianxiao, his voice trembling.

Bing Tianxiao looked at him and said calmly, "I told you, you would die."

He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Xue Tianhe, his battle halberd piercing straight into Xue Tianhe's chest.

Xue Tianhe frantically channeled his spiritual power, conjuring a blood-red shield in front of him.

But the shield was as fragile as paper in front of the halberd, collapsing at the slightest touch.

puff!

The halberd pierced through Xue Tianhe's chest, lifting him into the air.

Blood dripped down the halberd shaft. Xue Tianhe stared wide-eyed, unable to believe until his death that he would die here.

Bing Tianxiao casually tossed Xue Tianhe's corpse aside.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the white-haired boy, their minds completely blank.

Bing Tianxiao actually killed Xue Tianhe?

He even killed the Blood Demon Beast, ranked thirteenth on the Ten Thousand Beasts Record, with a single breath of dragon's breath.

What kind of monster is this guy?

On the high platform, the five deans also had different expressions.

Dean Taicang laughed heartily, his laughter filled with smug satisfaction: "Good! Well done! The Blood God Clan members, killing them is fine!"

Dean Tiansheng's face was gloomy, but he had nothing to say.

Since the rules allow for contracting spirit beasts, Xue Tianhe's summoning of the Blood Demon Beast is not against the rules, so Bing Tianxiao's summoning of the Dragon Shadow is naturally not against the rules either.

Dean Tang, Dean Wu Tianwang, and Dean Tiansong exchanged glances but remained silent.

They had only one thought in their minds—this Bing Tianxiao was not to be trifled with.

Luo Li walked to Bing Tianxiao's side, looking at his excessively young face, a complex expression flashing in her glassy eyes.

"You saved me again."

Bing Tianxiao shook his head: "I told you, I would protect you."

Luo Li fell silent.

She looked at Bing Tianxiao's profile, his image reflected in her crystal-clear eyes.

This man keeps his word.

Meanwhile, the battles on the other three battlefields were also nearing their end.

Wen Qingxuan defeated the martial spirit that released the War God Ape, ranked fifteenth on the Spirit Beast Ranking, with absolute strength, and advanced to the next round.

As for Wen Busheng, although he possesses the Supreme Arm, Ji Xuan is clearly superior.

They have successfully advanced to the next round.

Mu Chen was even more relaxed, suppressing Liu Qingyun with the spirit array and the Desolate God Technique, and advancing to the next round.

The quarterfinals have all concluded.

The four teams that advanced are: Bei Cang Ling Academy (Bing Tian Xiao Team), Bei Cang Ling Academy (Mu Chen Team), Wan Huang Ling Academy, and Sheng Ling Academy.

Of the four teams, the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy holds two spots.

At this moment, the entire Great Thousand World, and countless spiritual academies, remembered the name of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

The name Bing Tianxiao has become a nightmare for everyone.

Who would dare to be an enemy of such a being?

As the dust settled on the final battle, the entire golden arena fell into a brief silence.

The quarterfinals consisted of four matches, each one exciting.

Especially the battle with Bing Tianxiao made everyone remember the name of that white-haired boy.

On the high platform, the five deans slowly rose to their feet.

Dean Tiansheng was in the center, Dean Taicang was on the left, and Dean Tang, Dean Wutianwang, and Dean Tiansong were on either side.

The five people's gazes swept across the golden battle stage below, finally settling on the four teams that had advanced.

"The quarterfinals have now concluded."

Dean Tiansheng's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed in everyone's ears.

"The four teams that have advanced are: Bei Cang Ling Academy Bing Tianxiao Team, Bei Cang Ling Academy Mu Chen Team, Wan Huang Ling Academy Wen Qingxuan Team, and Sheng Ling Academy Ji Xuan Team."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in deafening cheers.

Of the four teams, the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy secured two spots. What a glorious achievement!

Countless students from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy were moved to tears, frantically shouting the names of Bing Tianxiao and Mu Chen.

"Next up will be the battle for the semi-finals."

Dean Tian Sheng continued, his gaze sweeping over the four teams.

"But unlike in the past, this year's semi-finals will use entirely new rules."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

All eyes were on Dean Tian Sheng, waiting for him to continue.

With a wave of his sleeve, Dean Tiansheng unleashed five vast pillars of spiritual energy that shot into the sky from the five deans, intertwining and converging in mid-air to form a giant golden mirror.

The mirror slowly rotated, and within its surface, a vast expanse of heaven and earth could be vaguely seen, containing mountains, rivers, forests, and deserts—everything imaginable.

"This is the realm of judgment."

Dean Tiansheng explained, "The battle of the four strongest will take place in the Realm of Judgment."

"Your task is simple—enter the realm of judgment and walk from the entrance to the exit."

Successful people advance, unsuccessful people are eliminated. Only the strongest can reach the end.

"The competition has no time limit and no rules."

You may use any means necessary to escape the realm of judgment.

"Now, four teams, please get ready."

On the golden battle stage, the members of the four teams all had solemn expressions.

The Realm of Judgment—this is a truly top-tier artifact.

This is after the level drop...
