As the Demonic Empress's furious shout echoed through the skies, the vast stretch of air behind her body suddenly erupted in a dazzling aurora of violet-gold light. That light, containing the immense and corrupt soul power of a million-year-old sea soul beast, burst forth like an exploding geyser and surged violently toward the Snow Empress.
But Snow Empress didn't panic. She didn't even move. Standing tall and graceful in midair, she simply hovered there, facing the onrushing sea of darkness with the calm and majesty of an Ice Queen. Her expression remained cold and fearless as she raised one hand and casually pointed at the oncoming violet tide.
In that moment, the power of Absolute Zero burst silently from her fingertip. First, the water vapor in the air froze instantly. Then, the terrifying temperature, approaching absolute zero, began freezing even the gases and particles in the atmosphere.
The bluish-white mist of frost, created from condensed water and air, expanded rapidly. The Demonic Empress's overwhelming attack, the "Abyssal Roar of the Demon Sea," a wave of violet-golden soul power vast as the ocean, began to dim under this domain of eternal frost. The two forces finally clashed.
Then, something unbelievable happened. The Empress's attack—her full-powered, oceanic-scale soul skill—was frozen solid by Snow Empress's frigid might.
The endless glow of violet and gold quickly faded. The sky, which had just become an ominous sea, now lay frozen and still as though the depths of winter had descended from the heavens.
"This... This is impossible..." the Demonic Empress muttered in disbelief.
She had expected resistance, yes. She had known her opponent was strong. But to have her full-force soul skill neutralized so effortlessly—just by freezing it? That exceeded her understanding of power.
Snow Empress heard the murmur but remained silent. Her frosty gaze remained fixed on the now-immobile, frozen ocean suspended in the sky. Then, her outstretched hand suddenly clenched.
"Boom—!"
The entire frozen ocean erupted in a blinding blaze. From ten thousand meters in the air, a sea of fire burst out in dazzling fury.
This was a classic move that Huo Yuhao had long mastered with the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan—Ice Explosion. After fusing with the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Essence, it had become child's play for Snow Empress to use it.
The result? The Demonic Empress's massive, soul-power-infused ocean was detonated midair, releasing a devastating shockwave.
Far below, every navy soldier aboard the Sun Moon Empire's warships stared up, dumbfounded by the heavenly display. The explosion blanketed the entire sky in a crimson inferno, turning the once-blue heavens into a blazing sea of fire that seemed to stretch into eternity.
No ninth-grade fixed-mounted soul cannon barrage could rival the sheer destructive majesty of this scene.
Of course, such an explosion couldn't truly injure someone on the Empress's level. But even so, the Demonic Empress had to exert considerable effort just to protect her physical form from harm.
When the flames finally faded, what emerged was a clearly disheveled Demonic Empress. The arrogance and fury on her face had vanished, replaced by wariness and unease.
"Well? Still want to keep fighting?" Snow Empress asked calmly.
The Empress took a deep breath. Her condescending attitude was completely gone. "What... what are you? A human extreme Douluo? No... you're not human."
Her violet eyes narrowed. The apprehension in her gaze deepened. "You're definitely not human. That technique... I've heard of it before."
"You're a soul beast. A fellow soul beast with cultivation equal to mine. Why stand with the humans?"
Snow Empress's calm expression showed a flash of surprise, but she said nothing.
The Demonic Empress pressed further, eyes intense. "I admire your strength. If you and I were to stand united as soul beasts, who could oppose us? Together, we could crush the humans and reclaim the continent!"
Snow Empress chuckled coldly.
"And why should I oppose humans at all?"
The Empress froze.
She looked at Snow Empress with confusion. To her, all humans were monsters—slaughterers who had hunted her kin, killed her husband. Her entire life's purpose was revenge. Destroying humanity, purging the continent of their kind—that was her sacred goal.
"You? Ally with me? On what basis?"
Snow Empress's gaze turned colder.
"The times have changed. The future belongs to humanity. If we soul beasts want to survive, our only path is to cooperate. Besides, even as a million-year-old soul beast... you are no god. The true ruler of this sea is not you—but the Sea God Tang San, who killed your husband and ascended to godhood a thousand years ago. We don't get to decide the fate of this continent."
Her words struck like blades to the heart.
The Demonic Empress trembled. Snow Empress's words had pierced her sorest wound—her grief, her hatred, her obsession.
"You!"
Purple-gold flames surged again around the Empress's body.
Sensing this surge of hostility, Snow Empress tensed slightly. She readied herself for the next attack.
But as she watched, a glint of mystery flashed in her eyes. Her lips curved faintly.
"Hmph. If you refuse to see reason, then let me show you. Let you see for yourself—this era's human power is no longer something we soul beasts can defy."
Consumed by rage, the Demonic Empress was beyond reasoning. The mention of Tang San had driven her mad. Fueled by hatred, she charged toward Snow Empress, who stood seemingly defenseless.
But blinded by her rage, the Empress didn't notice what lay below.
Ten thousand meters beneath them, the Sun Moon Navy had already activated its Full-Power Linked Soul Tool Offensive Array. Energy from each warship channeled into a central focal point, building a crimson glow akin to nuclear fusion.
Inside the command ship Rising Sun, Admiral Shi Dongsheng stared at the screen showing the charging Empress.
When the timing was perfect, he gave the order.
"Fire!"
"BOOOOOM———!"
The moment his words fell, a searing pillar of red light, like a wrathful beam from the sun itself, erupted into the sky. The crimson blast roared upward like judgment from the heavens, aimed directly at the charging Demonic Empress.
