Chapter 66: The Water Emperor Finally Appears
[Ice Binding Contract]
Whoosh—
A wave of chilling air radiated from the purple elemental figure. Behind the Ice Soul Cold Star, a massive, spinning ice crystal, shaped like a snowflake, slowly materialized in the void, shimmering and sighing.
The snowflake pattern was tinged with purple. This battle technique, so incongruous with the Water Element, seemed perfectly suited for the Ice Soul Cold Star.
The mere presence of the purple elemental figure seemed to freeze time and space.
Not from the cold, but from its very existence.
When people are killed, they die.
Every move, every glance of the Ice Soul Cold Star seemed to invite natural disasters, a bone-chilling cold.
Sensing the terrifying aura below, the Frost Snow Woman charged recklessly through the clouds, then suddenly slammed into an invisible barrier.
So painful, so hard!!!
Clutching her forehead, she drifted back, tears welling up in her eyes, staring at the barrier in shock.
The transparent barrier, rippling from the impact, gradually turned a dreamlike shade of purple, its surface unknown, eternally sealing everything within.
Only from the outside could its true form be seen. It was a massive planet formed from swirling purple clouds!!!!
Deep purple vortexes covered its surface, swirling and flowing like a living entity.
[Battle Technique – Death Tribulation]
The ten-kilometer-wide purple star continuously drew in everything it touched, trapping them in an icy, eternal slumber.
Their existence wasn’t frozen, but once inside Death Tribulation, there was no escape. It was as good as death.
No way out…
The Frost Snow Woman frowned, looking down at the purple elemental figure below, her cold gaze piercing through the thousand-meter-thick clouds, focusing on the eyeballs on its arms.
The two icy eyes rolled upwards in a mocking, comical expression.
[@#￥￥%#(*]…!!**(&%…&…………)]
A flicker of anger appeared in the Snow Woman’s icy eyes.
Her inherited memories contained information about the Ice Soul Cold Star’s four possible talents.
Star Aperture, Cold Vein, Moonfall, and Sea Soul. Which one did this Ice Soul Cold Star possess…?
Whoosh! The Snow Woman’s pale, slender fingers tightened, ten white, furry threads shooting out, intertwining like a spiderweb.
Her nimble fingers danced, weaving the ten threads together into a single, thick strand.
The bundled threads contracted and tightened, like a spring, coiling around the Snow Woman’s fingertip.
The concentrated spirit energy almost shattered the air around her, and icy blue blood seeped from her finger.
Aiming at the purple elemental figure on the ground, she unleashed her attack.
[Soul Embroidery: Sea and Sky as One]
Boom!!!!
The next second, a burst of air pressure ripped through the area for several kilometers, a blinding white arc flashing.
Even within the slow, viscous air of Death Tribulation, the attack was too fast for the naked eye to follow, several times the speed of sound.
The white thread, unleashing a deafening roar like a beam cannon, struck the small, delicate body of the Ice Soul Cold Star.
Dust and debris filled the air, everything within a radius of several hundred meters pulverized, including the unfortunate Wrathful Saintess, who was reduced to ashes.
The shockwave rippled through the purple star, Death Tribulation, filled with shimmering fragments.
“Whew~~~~”
A few seconds later, a chilling frost cleared the dust, revealing the scene.
The Frost Snow Woman’s cold eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the unharmed purple crystal.
Seven or eight life-sized, purple stars had materialized before the Ice Soul Cold Star, swirling around it, effortlessly blocking the Snow Woman’s full-powered attack.
Death Tribulation—
The massive purple planet could create smaller stars within itself. It was a nesting doll!!!
With the air dense with ice spirit energy within the Death Tribulation domain, the Frost Snow Woman couldn’t possibly defeat the Ice Soul Cold Star…
Within Death Tribulation, the Ice Soul Cold Star was practically invincible, its own personal BGM playing, unstoppable.
Meanwhile, the small, purple elemental figure sat cross-legged in the air, casually playing with a miniature star between its fingers.
[Help me.]
A sense of helplessness washed over her, and the Frost Snow Woman sent a desperate plea to the dormant, ocean-blue life core.
Her consciousness, like a sound wave, flowed into the beautiful core.
It had sent her a distress signal. Why was it playing dead now? The Snow Woman was confused.
The next second, as if answering her call—
The ocean-colored core pulsed, a wave of water erupting from within, like a reverse waterfall, soaring into the sky.
Boom!!!!
The erupting water instantly transformed everything within the star into a vast, clear blue ocean.
Under the watchful gaze of the Ice Soul Cold Star, a slender Water Element materialized near the core.
This pure, watery figure was even smaller than before, its delicate features formed from flowing water, its long hair swirling.
It wore a dark, shadowy crown, its aura, unlike other Saint-rank spirit beasts, not domineering, but gentle and soft.
[Not… one of us…]
Sensing the Water Element’s appearance and aura, the Frost Snow Woman froze.
If it wasn’t one of her kind, why had it resonated with her? Had she been deceived?!
Had this Water Element and the Ice Soul Cold Star lured her here to capture her and force a contract with a human?
The Frost Snow Woman’s expression shifted between shame, anger, worry, and sadness, the icy aura around her flickering, on the verge of frenzy.
Just then, the female Water Element suddenly rushed into the Snow Woman’s arms, like a frightened rabbit, its small, watery body trembling.
“…”
“…”
After a long pause, the Frost Snow Woman’s conflicting emotions vanished.
Only a single, giant heart remained in her eyes.
Although not one of her kind, she was deeply captivated.
Burying its face in the Snow Woman’s embrace, the Water Element smiled, a chilling, unseen smile… In that instant, its soul core had inexplicably turned a deep, inky black, darker than ink.
