247: Xue Ning's Trial
He walked to the ice coffin, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the still-sleeping body of the Queen.
A vast Divine Soul Power, like a sea of stars, slowly infused into her.
This was his agreement with the Queen.
He would help her purge her sect, and she, in her strongest form, would become his ally, facing the coming apocalypse with him.
Under the nourishment of Su Lei's Divine Soul Power, the body, which had been on its last legs, began to regain its vibrant vitality at a visible speed.
Her silver hair gradually regained its luster.
Her pale skin also became delicate and rosy again.
An increasingly powerful life force awakened within her.
Finally, the eyelashes that had been closed for ten thousand years trembled slightly.
Then, her eyes opened.
The scent of blood in the temple had not yet dissipated, but Su Lei had already turned and was walking out of the hall.
He had no interest in the massacre that had just ended.
His goal, from beginning to end, was only one.
The Central White Tower.
"Where are you going?"
Li Xue凝's voice sounded behind him.
"To retrieve what belongs to me."
Su Lei's steps did not falter, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the temple's deep corridor.
Li Xue凝, Oriental Shuo, and Yelena, who had just achieved her revenge, immediately followed.
Passing through the corpse-strewn temple, they returned to the outside of the White Tower.
The entire City of Frozen Ice, after losing the control of the Gravekeepers, fell into an eerie silence.
The Ice Puppets that had originally been patrolling were now standing still, like machines that had lost their energy.
Su Lei walked directly towards the towering Central White Tower.
Just as he was about to step onto the first step leading to the White Tower, the ground of the entire square suddenly trembled.
Immediately after, in the four corners of the square, four colossal female warrior statues, which had originally served as decorations, had their eyes, which had been closed for ten thousand years, suddenly light up with dazzling crimson light at the same moment.
Crack! Crack, crack!
The ten-thousand-year-old ice covering them shattered and peeled off inch by inch.
Four terrifying war Puppets, constructed entirely from the hardest profound ice rock, with joints flowing with molten-lava-like scorching energy, awakened from their ten-thousand-year slumber.
In their hands were no longer Ice Crystal Spears or battle-axes, but four gigantic, ferocious hammers large enough to split mountains and crack rocks.
A terrifying pressure, a hundred times more formidable than all the previous Puppets combined, erupted from these four Ice Titans, enveloping the entire square.
They were the last and strongest guardians of this White Tower.
"Invaders, die!"
Yelena's expression instantly became incredibly solemn.
"They are the Watcher Titans! Your Majesty the Queen's strongest personal guard Puppets! Legend has it that each of them possesses terrifying power capable of rivaling an Empire Elder!"
However, Su Lei still walked unhurriedly towards the steps of the White Tower, step by step.
"They are yours."
A calm sentence floated from his mouth into Li Xue凝's ears behind him.
"Break them."
"Or, be broken by them."
This understated remark, however, made Li Xue凝's body tremble violently.
She understood Su Lei's meaning.
Although she had absorbed the core of the Netherwind Peng in the previous battle, causing her Mental Energy to skyrocket, her Realm still remained at the Veteran Great Grandmaster, always lacking that final bit of insight to reach the true Peak.
And these four war Puppets, comparable to Great Grandmaster Peak, were her best and most dangerous whetstones.
"Understood."
Li Xue凝 did not hesitate at all.
Around her, the phantom of the Ice Crystal Phoenix let out a high-pitched Phoenix cry, surging dramatically and lowering the temperature of the entire square by dozens of degrees again.
"Xue Ning!"
Oriental Shuo wanted to step forward to help, but Yelena stopped him with a hand.
"This is his command, and it is her trial."
Yelena knew better than anyone what price one had to pay and what resolve one had to possess to follow that man.
The battle erupted in an instant.
A Titan's giant hammer slammed down with the force of thunder, and Li Xue凝 snorted coldly, narrowly dodging, but the giant hammer smashed a hundred-meter-deep pit in the square!
Just one strike was terrifyingly powerful!
In an instant, she was caught in a deadly encirclement by three Titans, with no escape!
Under the shadow of death, a trace of determination flashed in Li Xue凝's eyes.
"Absolute Zero!"
The embryonic Domain unfolded with a roar, and the extreme cold caused a one-ten-thousandth of a second delay in the speed of the three giant hammers!
It was this sliver of hope that allowed her to weave through like a butterfly, narrowly escaping death!
However, she was completely in a desperate situation of one against four, like a small boat in a raging storm.
She was being pushed towards death little by little.
Su Lei, who had already stepped onto the White Tower, paused imperceptibly when he reached the ninety-ninth step, then continued upward.
On the battlefield, Li Xue凝's left shoulder was grazed by a giant hammer, her battle armor shattered, and her flesh was mangled.
The intense pain caused her to lose focus for a moment.
In a fight between experts, losing focus meant death!
Three giant hammers once again converged in a 'pin' formation, and this time, there was no retreat!
It was at this life-or-death moment that the combat instincts of countless Valkyrie warriors exploded in her mind!
That was the perfect Fusion of her own Ice Phoenix Domain and her understanding of the Dao of the Sword under the pressure of death!
"Break!"
With a clear shout, she did not retreat but advanced, transforming into a spiral ice cone, actively meeting the most violent center of death!
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
A dense clashing sound, like a sudden downpour, and she actually managed to block three giant hammers!
The next second, Li Xue凝's figure flew backward, leaving a trail of tragic and beautiful blood, while the three Titans were also shaken back, their hammerheads covered with fine sword marks!
At the cost of severe injury, she directly confronted three Titans and wounded them!
"Cough, again!"
Li Xue凝 spat out a mouthful of blood-stained ice shards, but her eyes were astonishingly bright; she had seized that sliver of opportunity for a Breakthrough!
She no longer dodged, every sword strike was cunning and vicious, trading injuries for injuries!
The battle entered its most brutal stage; the wounds on her body grew more numerous, and her consciousness began to blur, but her sword became faster and faster!
Crack!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the left leg of one Titan was forcibly severed by her!
First kill!
This completely ignited her almost extinguished will! She squeezed out the last bit of power in her body and completely merged with the Ice Phoenix phantom!
"Ice Phoenix Nirvana Slash!"
An Ice Phoenix with a wingspan of a hundred meters, with the determination to perish together, swooped down towards the remaining three Titans!
Boom!
An energy storm comparable to a nuclear explosion swept in all directions, leveling a layer of the entire square!
