This time, Huo Yuhao wasted no time.
He swiftly switched martial souls, entering the state of his second martial soul.
His hands transformed into Ice Emperor's Claws, and with a single beat of his bone wings, he shot forward, skimming the ground as he closed in on Yan Feng.
Yan Feng knew he had no chance to surrender. His only option was to resist with everything he had.
At the same time, he steeled himself for death, determined to take Huo Yuhao down with him.
"Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul True Body!"
A massive Icebone Dragon materialized on the arena.
The extreme cold radiating from Ultimate Ice did affect the Icebone Dragon to some extent. However, calling the Icebone Dragon an "ice attribute" beast was no longer entirely accurate—it had already begun shifting towards a more sinister, cold, and malevolent nature. The influence of Ultimate Ice on it was therefore limited.
A powerful dragon's might surged from the Icebone Dragon, pushing back against the overwhelming aura of Huo Yuhao's 100,000-year soul rings and soul beast powers.
However, the gap in strength was simply too vast.
The ice crystals coating Huo Yuhao's claws radiated an overwhelming wave of frigid energy.
Emperor's Palm—Great Cold Without Snow!
One of the Three Ultimate Techniques of the Snow Empress, enhanced by the Ice Emperor's soul skill Ice Emperor's Claw, and further augmented by the Ice Explosion Technique from his Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.
This was a sure-kill strike.
Even without activating Martial Soul True Body, the collision between Huo Yuhao's seemingly small figure and the enormous Icebone Dragon resulted in a completely one-sided battle.
The massive Icebone Dragon visibly collapsed under the force of the blow.
A huge crater formed at the point of impact, and the Icebone Dragon let out a wretched howl.
In its blood-red vertical pupils, a fierce glint flickered.
A torrent of resentful wraiths poured from its body.
Then, with a single dragon's roar, the Icebone Dragon refined and absorbed the spectral energy.
Its once skeletal form instantly filled out, flesh materializing from the energy of the tormented souls.
Not only had its bare bones gained form, but its entire aura surged to new heights—its soul power fluctuations and intensity far exceeded its previous state.
Even the damage inflicted by Huo Yuhao's attack was rapidly regenerating.
Boom!
At that moment, Huo Yuhao finally activated the Ice Explosion Technique.
From deep within the Icebone Dragon's massive body, a sudden explosion rang out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spectral energy of the wraiths disrupted the flow of ice-attribute soul power, limiting the blast to only a portion of the dragon's body.
However, despite that, nearly a third of the Icebone Dragon was still caught in the explosion.
Yet, having activated his forbidden technique, Yan Feng no longer felt any pain.
Even the injuries he sustained were continuously regenerating, fueled by the energy of the devoured spirits.
Behind Huo Yuhao, a phantom of the Ice Jade Scorpion, radiating an imperial presence, materialized.
Though he lacked the Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body, his Intermediate Battle Armor incorporated soul ring synchronization technology.
With the armor's enhancements, Huo Yuhao fully synchronized his soul rings, causing his soul power fluctuations to rise even further.
Only now could it be said that his Intermediate Battle Armor had fully activated, pushing his combat strength to its absolute peak.
A Basic Battle Armor could elevate a Soul King to Soul Emperor peak level, leaving them just shy of a Soul Saint due to the absence of a Martial Soul True Body.
Previously, Intermediate Battle Armor seemed to provide only a slight boost to Huo Yuhao's power, but that was simply because he had yet to fully unleash its true potential.
Now, as his presence grew even more terrifying, even Unbreakable Douluo subconsciously took a half-step back. His gaze toward Huo Yuhao now carried a clear trace of apprehension.
Yan Feng, at best, possessed ordinary Soul Douluo-level combat strength.
Even with his forbidden technique, forcibly absorbing and devouring resentful spirits through sinister means, he was still several tiers beneath Huo Yuhao.
Blizzard!
Huo Yuhao's fourth soul ring flared to life.
Among the soul skills granted to him by Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, one was Ice Bear Blizzard.
Both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress possessed mastery over blizzards, and Huo Yuhao had refined and combined their abilities to create an enhanced fusion of the technique.
Although he had gained insight into soul skill development thanks to Su Yu's experiences, Huo Yuhao was clearly taking advantage of every possible shortcut.
However, since he had the ability to do so, there was nothing inherently wrong with it.
After all, cultivation itself was a process of continuously learning from the outside world and making those lessons one's own. Huo Yuhao's integration of the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Xiao Bai's blizzard techniques was simply another step in that process.
Emperor's Chill—Snowy Dance of the Sun!
This was one of the Three Ultimate Techniques of the Snow Empress, which Huo Yuhao had dissected and incorporated into his blizzard technique.
The profound resemblance in aura and technique triggered a strong sense of déjà vu among the Titled Douluos present.
"Just from witnessing the Snow Empress use Emperor's Chill once, he was able to comprehend such profound concepts?"
Yan Shaozhe was unaware that Huo Yuhao had learned it directly from the Snow Empress. Instead, he assumed Huo Yuhao had somehow gained enlightenment from merely observing the battle two days prior.
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe's heart bled with regret.
Had he not been blind to Huo Yuhao's potential back then, the young man before him would have undoubtedly become one of Shrek Academy's greatest pillars of strength.
The terrifying blizzard engulfed half the arena, and even the massive Icebone Dragon seemed insignificant before its sheer might.
Yan Feng let out a powerful dragon's roar, and a phantasmal soul projection enveloped his body.
It was a Dragon Soul.
Su Yu's eyes snapped open, gazing toward the arena.
In a distant corner, Long Xiaoyao also opened his eyes abruptly, his sharp gaze locking onto the Dragon Soul.
"A True Dragon's Remnant Soul!"
Yan Feng had somehow acquired the remnant soul of a true dragon soul beast.
Now, on the arena, Yan Feng intended to devour it, betting everything on a desperate, life-for-life exchange with Huo Yuhao.
Upon seeing the Dragon Soul, Huo Yuhao reacted immediately, launching an even faster assault.
He couldn't yet determine the exact level of this remnant soul, but preventing Yan Feng from fusing with it was undoubtedly the best course of action.
"Spiritual Shock!"
Huo Yuhao switched back to his Spirit Eyes martial soul, instantly unleashing his first soul skill—Spiritual Shock.
At the same time, the rune-covered warhammer in his spiritual sea slammed down.
"Third Soul Skill—Spiritual Chaos!"
Just as Yan Feng was about to consume the Dragon Soul, the hammer strike caused him to stiffen, a deep and indescribable dizziness assaulting his very soul.
The moment he snapped out of it, Spiritual Chaos exploded, sending him right back into a daze. His spiritual sea trembled violently, and faint cracks began to form.
Scorpion Tail Strike!
Huo Yuhao switched back to his second martial soul, and his second orange soul ring gleamed.
Behind him, a barbed, scorpion-like tail—composed entirely of hard, ice-crystal-like material—extended outward, radiating an ominous chill.
The tip of the tail gleamed with deadly, razor-sharp energy.
With a sudden thrust, the scorpion tail shot toward Yan Feng's Icebone Dragon—
—and pierced straight through it.
An immense surge of Ultimate Ice soul power flooded into the Icebone Dragon's body through the scorpion tail.
Ice Explosion Technique!
In his stunned state, Ultimate Ice instantly froze Yan Feng's internal energy, rapidly coating most of his body in an unbreakable layer of frost.
BOOM!
Yan Feng—Dead!
Huo Yuhao turned to Unbreakable Douluo, waiting for the final verdict.
"Huo Yuhao, Victory!"
A one-versus-seven sweep.
Not only had Huo Yuhao, a mere Soul Emperor, single-handedly annihilated the entire Holy Spirit Sect team, but every single opponent was an Evil Soul Master.
On the Main Platform...
Xu Tiannan could clearly sense the extreme turbulence in the emotions of the Grand Advisor seated beside him.
