Volume 42, Chapter 579.2: Third Fight, Holy Phoenix Lady

Moreover, Huo Yuhao blamed himself a lot for landing Ma Xiaotao in this state. He believed that she only ended up like this because he didn’t leave with her immediately before. This was why he was willing to risk anything to save her.

A layer of diamond ice crystals surfaced on the Icy War God’s Armor. It was the Ice Empress’ Armor.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao clasped his hands together in front of his chest. He unleashed his Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice.

His eighth soul ring shone!

He unleashed his Ice Bear Blizzard!

The Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice and Ice Bear Blizzard were unleashed at the same time, with Huo Yuhao at the center of both attacks.

Right now, he was like the eye of a blizzard. A whirlpool of ice and snow that resembled a tornado swept towards Ma Xiaotao.

By doing this, he was even stronger than when he unleashed his True Body. It was also much easier for him to maintain control. He wouldn’t end the fight immediately, but approach the situation slowly. It was only by doing this that he could control his own attacking strength based on the changes to Ma Xiaotao’s soul power.

The only shortcoming of doing this was that his soul power would be drained much more than if he used his True Body.

Normally, soul masters would enter a weakened state after using their True Body. Huo Yuhao didn’t have such a concern. However, domain-type abilities could only be maintained by draining a lot of soul power, no matter what stage of cultivation a soul master was at.

After Ma Xiaotao’s Phoenix True Body was entangled in the Ice Bear Blizzard, it was as she had been chained up. The terrifying blizzard was challenging her Ultimate Fire, and a great amount of fog rose into the air. No one could see what was happening.

Zhong Liwu’s expression was very gloomy. However, there seemed to be a shifty look in his eyes.

What Huo Yuhao didn’t know was that Zhong Liwu was only prepared for five out of the ten fights. Among the five fights, Ma Xiaotao was actually involved in one of them.

What was more effective against Ultimate Ice than Ultimate Fire? It was just that Ma Xiaotao was supposed to be fourth on Zhong Liwu’s list. She was shifted forward by one now, but it didn’t affect his plan too much.

Of course Zhong Liwu was aware of Ma Xiaotao’s background. She had been a top-performing student in Shrek Academy, and the immediate disciple of Yan Shaozhe. Huo Yuhao was also from Shrek Academy. It was only natural that she shared a close relationship with him.

This was why he wasn’t worried about her safety when she was sent out to fight. Once Ma Xiaotao drained Huo Yuhao up to a certain point, it would be time for him to doom Huo Yuhao.

In Zhong Liwu’s mind, he wasn’t the most concerned about the Ice Bear King, but Huo Yuhao himself.

Ultimate Ice martial soul! If he could get a Holy Son with an Ultimate Ice martial soul and who was a Titled Douluo, the Holy Ghost Church’s strength would only stand to increase even if he lost the Bluesilver Holy Lady. In the future, he could have two Ultimate Douluo by his side. They were even Ultimate Douluo with Ultimate martial souls. Who else in this world could fight him then? Even those soul engineers would be helpless against him.

An Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice Douluo was an extremely strong combination!

If he could get this Holy Son, he wouldn’t mind sacrificing more. This was because his appearance would only serve to offer the Holy Ghost Church unlimited potential.

Zhong Liwu’s goal wasn’t just to become an Imperial Advisor of an empire. He wanted to become a ruler, the ruler of the entire continent. Whether it was the Douluo Continent or Sun Moon Continent, his goal was to rule.

The Fire Phoenix was struggling in the sky. However, the Ice Bear Blizzard and Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice were only getting stronger and stronger.

The heat in the air had already disappeared. What replaced it was a refreshing chill. The air temperature changed drastically from high to low. This dramatic change left everyone in awe.

Phoenix flames were released continuously. However, their temperature was quickly brought down when a snowflake landed on them.

Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix stopped in the air. She opened her wings to their limit, and her body started revolving in the air. A dazzling halo was formed by her wings, and sonorous phoenix calls continued to echo. Dark red streaks of light started to expand, isolating the blizzard.

The Fire Phoenix also picked up speed. In just an instant, she came in front of Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao only had time to lift his hand. He lifted his right hand in an attempt to stop the Fire Phoenix.

It was Ma Xiaotao’s eighth soul skill, Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance!

Scorching phoenix flames were already in front of Huo Yuhao. Two balls of blinding light shone behind Huo Yuhao’s back.

A sun and a moon appeared. The sun was gold, while the moon was blue. The sun and the moon intersected weirdly, causing Huo Yuhao to enter a special state.

The phoenix flames struck his body, but they started to revolve tremendously. After this, they were flung away. The Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice also experienced weird changes.

Snowflakes started to conjoin in the air, forming lines of snow. After this, they tangled up and formed chains that started to entangle the Fire Phoenix from all directions.

This was the improved version of the Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice, Ice Snow Chain.

Every chain was a consolidation and fusion of Ultimate Ice. When they landed on the Fire Phoenix, they caused her to shake tremendously. The temperature of the phoenix flames fell drastically. No matter how much Ma Xiaotao tried to muster her soul power, her flames couldn’t get past Huo Yuhao’s palm.

There was an unprecedently strong force in his palm. All the energy that rushed to his palm would instantly be flung away. They couldn’t breach it.

The shining sun and moon behind Huo Yuhao’s back became stronger and stronger. Even the Sun in the sky seemed to lose some of its glow in the face of Huo Yuhao’s sun and moon.

What kind of power is this? Everyone was astonished, but none of them knew anything about it.

Even Zhong Liwu was astounded. However, he knew more than the rest. This was because he could still recall that he had seen a similar sun-moon projection behind Di Tian before. It was just that Di Tian’s was much stronger. However, their auras were very similar.

What kind of strength has he understood to make him so strong now?

Just as Zhong Liwu was astounded, the look of delight in his eyes intensified. The stronger Huo Yuhao was, the stronger the future Holy Son of the Holy Ghost Church would be if his plan succeeded.

Yes, what a brilliant Holy Son!

As the chains entangled her further and further, the Fire Phoenix struggled less and less.

Ma Xiaotao’s soul power fell significantly as she was restrained by the chains.

Huo Yuhao heaved a faint sigh of relief. He had used the power of his twin soul cores, which enabled him to trap Ma Xiaotao without hurting her. It was important to know that this wasn’t easy. It was actually very difficult.

However, he had succeeded. Even though he was drained, it was worth it.

Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, the Fire Phoenix suddenly lifted her head. There was a manic streak of light that seemed to come from her eyes.

What? This isn’t good.

Huo Yuhao was shocked. Just as he was about to react, it seemed like it was already too late.

A terrifying ball of golden-red light was suddenly unleashed from Ma Xiaotao’s True Body. The chains were instantly crushed. Heat dominated again, and the frightening explosive flames instantly devoured Huo Yuhao.

Yes, this was Ma Xiaotao’s ninth soul skill!

Phoenix Nirvana.

A phoenix and the fire of baptism led to nirvana and rebirth!

In a state of nirvana, a phoenix was at its strongest and its weakest state. At the beginning of nirvana, a phoenix was at its strongest. At the end of nirvana, it was at its weakest. However, they both brought new life to the phoenix.

This Phoenix Nirvana was Ma Xiaotao’s strongest and ninth soul skill.

If the enemy didn’t die, she would most certainly die after unleashing her Phoenix Nirvana, since she would be in a weakened state for a month. However, this attack was at the standard of an Ultimate Douluo. If she could become a Transcendent Douluo in the future, even an Ultimate Douluo would need to fear such an attack from her.

This was one of Zhong Liwu’s trump cards. He wasn’t afraid that Huo Yuhao would kill Ma Xiaotao. He was even less worried that Ma Xiaotao wouldn’t be able to unleash her Phoenix Nirvana.

She didn’t even need to accumulate for this soul skill. She could just unleash it with a thought. The price to pay was to become weak for a month. This was a testament to how much power she could unleash with this attack.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know that. This was why he was engulfed by her Phoenix Nirvana. The entire sky turned golden-red. It was as if countless golden-red flowing clouds were shaking the sky.

Within a fifty kilometer radius from Shrek City to the Sun Moon Empire’s base, a heatwave seemed to sweep over everything. The heat caused everyone to feel extremely fearful and frustrated.

Tang Wutong stood where she was and watched everything in a daze. She didn’t move. There was only a very unsettled look in her eyes.

Zhong Liwu smiled. He was delighted.

Was Huo Yuhao dead? Of course he wouldn’t die. Zhong Liwu was very confident in Huo Yuhao. He was a Transcendent Douluo who possessed Ultimate Ice. He even had many powerful soul tools on his body as well as that divine blade. How could he possibly die so easily?

However, he would surely be skinned even if he didn’t die.

This was enough.

The scorching golden-red flames lasted for a good minute before they slowly disappeared.

The first figure that appeared was drifting in mid-air.

Strange golden-red runes spun around her body. She was calmly lying in the air. Her hair was flowing, and her eyes were shut. It was as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.
