As "Shui Bing'er" released a wave of spiritual energy, it surged to a terrifying level, forming a brilliant nine-colored spiritual flower at the center of her forehead.
*Boom!*
Under the protection of this spiritual flower, the nine-colored light formed a natural barrier that clashed with the blizzard raging outside.
This scene shocked not only the eight Soul Douluo experts from the Four Elements Academy but also the Snow Emperor floating in the sky. She stared down, eyes wide with disbelief.
"One million-year spiritual power?!"
The Snow Emperor sensed the pure spiritual energy within "Shui Bing'er," and a strong feeling of apprehension arose in the depths of her pupils.
"Two Deans, form the Three-in-One Martial Spirit Fusion Formation!"
While everyone else was still in shock, Shui Wuyá, controlling "Shui Bing'er," shouted the command.
The two deans from the Tianshui Academy immediately took positions on either side of Shui Bing'er, forming a triangle.
"Wind and snow combine, the ice moon shines!"
Suddenly, "Shui Bing'er" shouted again, and all three unleashed their soul power. Waves of blue energy radiated outwards, rippling through the sky. As the trio's martial spirits fused, a crescent of ice rapidly rose from the ground towards the heavens.
When this icy crescent reached the sky, the world of snow and ice grew dim. The light from the icy crescent fell like beams of judgment upon the Snow Emperor.
*Swish!*
As the ice moon's beams shot down, the atmosphere filled with the intense sound of gales breaking through the air. The Snow Emperor, her expression serious, quickly spread her arms wide. A circular totem appeared before her, and a beam of snow-white light burst forth, carrying the power of annihilation.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The two forces collided, creating a series of deafening explosions that echoed across the land. In a matter of moments, the snow-white annihilation beam began to overpower the ice crescent, gaining the upper hand.
*Bang!*
A short while later, with a resounding bang, the Snow Emperor shattered the icy crescent with overwhelming force. She then quickly formed a new hand seal, creating a massive ring of ice that descended, trapping Shui Bing'er and her companions. The intense pressure within the icy ring severely restricted the nine's movements.
Seeing this, Shui Wuyá's expression darkened. The Three-in-One Martial Spirit Fusion Technique was meant to be Shui Bing'er's trump card, but its power was inadequate against the Snow Emperor.
"Eight deans, use your ultimate moves!"
"Shui Bing'er" shouted again, her voice filled with urgency.
The eight deans surrounding her looked hesitant, worry etched on their faces.
"Bing'er, are you sure about this?"
The Tianshui Academy's head dean couldn't help but ask, his tone revealing his concern about the proposed ultimate move.
"I'll use my immense spiritual energy to control all eight of you. It has to work!"
"Shui Bing'er" responded immediately, and as her words fell, she released eight streams of spiritual energy that swiftly flowed toward the eight deans, capturing control of their bodies.
"Agreed!"
The head dean of Tianshui Academy was the first to nod, allowing Shui Bing'er's spiritual energy to take control of his body. The other seven deans quickly followed suit, granting Shui Bing'er full command over their movements.
"Nine-in-One Soul Power Fusion Technique!"
Shui Wuyá, now in control of nine bodies, activated one of their most powerful hidden moves.
The Nine-in-One Soul Power Fusion Technique fuses the soul power of nine individuals into a single, unified force. This method is incredibly domineering and notoriously difficult to control. In the past, Shui Bing'er and the eight deans had tried several times, only to fail each time. Now, letting Shui Bing'er control them was a significant risk.
In the next moment, Shui Wuyá, using Shui Bing'er's body, positioned the eight deans in a water-blue octagonal formation around her.
"Holy Snow, Ice Phoenix Descends!"
With a profound and ancient intonation, Shui Bing'er channeled her immense spiritual power, forcibly pulling the soul power from the eight Soul Douluo into the Nine-in-One fusion array.
A resonant roar echoed as an unparalleled surge of icy energy erupted from the formation. The combined soul power, under Shui Bing'er's control, transformed into a massive ice-crystal phoenix, exuding an awe-inspiring and terrifying aura.
Another thunderous roar emanated from the ice-crystal phoenix's beak, and with a single thought from Shui Wuyá, it launched itself toward the Snow Emperor in a furious charge.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
As the ice-crystal phoenix shot toward the Snow Emperor, the giant circular ice wall that had trapped Shui Bing'er and her companions shattered into fragments, breaking apart instantly.
Seizing the opportunity, Shui Wuyá directed the nine bodies at top speed, escaping deeper into the Extreme North.
*Rumble!*
Meanwhile, the ice-crystal phoenix clashed with the Snow Emperor. Her expression grew alarmed as she sensed the immense danger emanating from the phoenix, forcing her to shift her focus entirely on the icy beast instead of pursuing the escaping group.
The epic battle between the Snow Emperor and the ice-crystal phoenix turned the snowy plains into a dazzling spectacle of five-colored lights, with resonant roars and sonic booms resounding across the sky. A superstorm brewed from their intense combat.
As the storm settled after several moments, the Snow Emperor finally defeated the ice-crystal phoenix with all her strength. However, by then, the nine had escaped deep into the Extreme North, out of her reach.
"One million-year spiritual power..."
The Snow Emperor murmured, her eyes reflecting a mix of uncertainty and disbelief. She sensed familiar traces of energy in the remnants of the spiritual aura.
She hesitated, uncertain about pursuing the nine any further. Ultimately, she chose to abandon the chase.
On the other side, about fifteen minutes later, Shui Wuyá and the nine had safely left the Snow Emperor's domain, out of immediate danger.
"Safe at last."
After confirming that the Snow Emperor wasn't following them, Shui Wuyá finally exhaled a sigh of relief. He'd never intended to fight the Snow Emperor head-on.
After all, she was a soul beast with over 700,000 years of cultivation. Unless he could fully control the Nine-in-One Martial Spirit Fusion Technique, the ordinary soul power fusion wouldn't be enough to take her on.
"Ancestor, please be cautious as we continue forward..."
Exhausted from the spiritual exertion, Shui Wuyá left a final warning before withdrawing from his soul-possession state.
"Understood, Wuyá. You take care as well."
Regaining control of her body, Shui Bing'er replied with a voice full of concern. The tension and weariness in her tone were clear.
