211: The Ice Phoenix roars!
Before Su Lei's words had even faded, a monstrous wave had already surged within Li Xue Condensation's Sea of Consciousness!
The man before her had the same familiar silhouette, yet he caused a tremor deep within her Soul.
Hum!!!
With a mysterious sound not heard by the ears, her consciousness was instantly dragged by an irresistible force into an endless expanse of pure white!
In this pure white space, scenes from her past transformed into the sharp claws of a Heart Demon, viciously tearing at her Soul.
The awkwardness of first holding a sword, the glory of the blood-stained border, the despair of facing the beast tide in the East alone, and the heart-wrenching pain caused by that solitary figure as she watched him fight Lei Mietian alone!
And, in the Trial Tower, watching him teeter on the edge of life and death while she stood there so pale and powerless!
Unwillingness! Anger! Remorse!
All these emotions transformed into raging flames, burning madly within her chest!
"I don't want to just watch anymore!"
"I don't want to just chase after your back anymore!"
"I want to stand by your side, facing ten thousand enemies!"
This unyielding will transformed into a roar of the Soul, causing ripples to spread across the pure white space.
The flames in her heart burned brighter and brighter, almost reducing this world to ashes!
But, her Dao was Ice.
How could such extreme cold contain flames that could burn the heavens?
At the very moment when Ice and Fire clashed and her martial Foundation was on the verge of shattering, Su Lei's ancient Divine Soul Aura became like the only lighthouse in the darkness, and even more like an oracle breaking the rules, pointing her toward the right path.
Who said Ice and Fire are incompatible? The ice of deathly silence can also give birth to the fire of new life!
Using endless cold ice as the bone, and heaven-burning Battle Intent as the Soul!
Boom!!!
The pure white space shattered inch by inch!
Li Xue Condensation's consciousness returned, her eyes tightly shut.
A brand new Aura surged from within her, shooting straight into the sky!
That was no longer pure extreme cold, but a scorching will capable of igniting the Soul, gestated beneath ten thousand years of permafrost!
With her as the center, a layer of stark white frost spread rapidly across the hard stone ground.
The frost was not chaotic; instead, it condensed into lifelike feather shapes, crystal clear, with edges shimmering with a blade-like cold light.
In an instant, the area within a hundred meters was transformed into a magnificent frost plain paved with ice feathers!
Su Lei stood to the side with his hands behind his back, watching quietly.
His Divine Soul Aura was merely the key; what truly opened this door for her was her own martial heart, forever unwilling to yield, forever moving forward.
A high-pitched, clear Phoenix cry erupted, not through the air, but directly at the level of the Soul! The Soul core star in Su Lei's Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly in response.
He looked behind Li Xue Condensation and saw endless frost Protective Aura gathering madly, condensing into an incomparably magnificent phantom of an Ice Crystal Phoenix!
The Phoenix's form was elegant, but in its eyes burned a deep blue flame, as if judging all living beings!
This was the manifestation of her martial will, the Ice Crystal Phoenix!
The Ice Phoenix phantom roared at the sky, and an invisible force field swept out from Li Xue Condensation as the center!
Within the force field, the wind was frozen, light was twisted, and Su Lei even felt that his control over the surrounding natural Laws was slightly suppressed within this Domain.
The prototype of a Domain, the Ice Phoenix Domain!
A genuine smile finally touched the corners of Su Lei's mouth.
From this moment on, Li Xue Condensation had truly embarked on the path of a powerhouse who could look down upon all living beings.
She was already his bulwark.
The Ice Phoenix cried out, flapped its wings, and turned into countless ice-blue dots of light, surging into Li Xue Condensation's body like a torrent.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she suddenly opened her eyes!
In an instant, an astonishing Aura was retracted into invisibility, with only a small Ice Crystal Phoenix circling and dancing in her palm before quietly dissipating.
The Great Grandmaster Realm was completely stabilized!
The Protective Aura within her surged like a river, several times more powerful than before!
More importantly, she now possessed her own Domain!
If she were to face that Demonized Venerable now, even if she couldn't defeat them, she would certainly not be without the power to fight back!
She raised her head and looked at Su Lei.
A thousand words, all left unsaid.
Su Lei stepped forward and gently pulled her into his embrace.
"Let's go out."
Su Lei said softly.
"Okay."
The two of them walked together, their thoughts moved slightly, and their figures returned to Kunlun Base.
As soon as they appeared, Su Lei's personal terminal vibrated frantically; on the screen were dozens of encrypted messages from Xiao Yuwei.
He opened the messages, his gaze scanning them rapidly.
When he saw that Iron Prison had led five Mecha Grandmasters to descend upon the Western Military Region to force Chen Xuan's hand, only to reach a temporary standoff because Xiao Yuwei revealed her Domain prototype, a bone-chilling cold rose from the bottom of Su Lei's heart.
He finished reading with an expressionless face, said nothing, and simply handed the terminal to Li Xue Condensation.
Li Xue Condensation took it and read through it at a glance.
The joy just born from her Breakthrough was instantly replaced by a bone-chilling killing intent.
"Qin Wuyan, he is courting death!"
"No..."
Su Lei's voice was terrifyingly calm, "He is not courting death. He is setting a trap, using the lives of millions of civilians in the North to force us to bear the crime of splitting humanity."
"Then, he can stand on the moral high ground and justly crusade against us."
What a poisonous scheme!
Tearing apart the Western Military Region's leadership and then using the authority of the Federation to coerce them—if he hadn't been alive, the Western Military Region would likely have already fallen apart!
"Where are we going now?"
Li Xue Condensation asked.
"Beiliang City."
Su Lei put away the terminal: "He has set up the stage; we can't let him perform a one-man show."
"I want everyone in the Federation to see who is the hero."
"And who is the thief of the state!"
Before his voice had even faded, the space around him rippled slightly, and the two of them vanished from the spot, leaving no trace.
...
Western Military Region, Supreme Command Center.
The argument had reached a fever pitch.
"We can't wait any longer!"
Zhao Wufeng slammed his palm heavily onto the alloy conference table: "Anping Town is right next door! Those who died are all our compatriots! Iron Prison is asking for help, yet we are cowering here; what kind of soldiers are we!"
"That is Qin Wuyan's trap!"
Lin Qianqian stood up abruptly: "He is just trying to force our hand using the lives of innocent people! Once our troops step out of the Western Military Region, his mecha army will stab us in the back! At that time, we will be attacked from both sides and have no place to die!"
"So we just watch?"
Zhao Wufeng's neck veins bulged, his eyes bloodshot: "Are we going to abandon our bottom line as humans for a potential trap? Would Su Lei agree to us doing this?"
Xiao Yuwei's body swayed slightly, but she insisted: "It is precisely because he is still alive that we must not be impulsive! We must hold onto this last Foundation of the Western Military Region for him!"
"Foundation? If everyone is dead, what use is a Foundation!"
"Enough!"
Chen Xuan let out a low roar.
He looked at the people before him, torn into two factions, and his heart sank into an bottomless abyss.
If things continued like this, they would fall apart before Qin Wuyan even made a move.
Just at this moment of tension, when the decision was about to collapse...
Hum...
A light hum rang out thunderously!
It was silent and traceless, yet vast like the divine punishment of heaven!
