— Chapter 301 —
Snow Empress floated in the sky with a solemn expression on her beautiful cold face. Her thought was confused because of Yunlong’s Maids display of strengths.
She cannot call these ladies an ordinary Spirit Master under any circumstance. They are monstrous beasts under human skins.
“Even Bai Xue, who possessed the lowest cultivation realm, could achieve Ultimate Fire state.” She commented while feeling a somewhat warm sensation on her skin.
She played around with her snowy dress and added, “I wonder just what kind of obsession they have with strength?”
Xue Nu was born in the extreme north and grew stronger quickly because she was the Heavenly Snow Woman. Her power over the Ultimate Snow element makes her absolute monarch there.
Piu!
A firework sound exploded inside Xue Nu’s domain, making her frown because no one from the enemy’s side should be able to navigate inside that snowstorm.
Xue Nu had destroyed every drone inside her territory and covered the entire area with an extremely tough snowstorm.
With her complete influence over this seashore, they wouldn’t be able to come out.
BOOM!
An explosion suddenly appeared inside her domain, shaking the snowstorm away. It doesn’t end there because several similar explosions followed a second later.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Xue Nu frowned and floated above her domain, noticing a group of people hiding in the energy dome. They are covering themselves from the snow.
Her left hand radiated with white and blue lights, gathering enough energy to kill title douluo instantly.
“Empress’s Palm Wave.” Xue Nu pushed her palm down, causing an icy shockwave to burst with descending momentum.
SWOOSH!
Empress’s palm is one of Xue Nu’s skills and was known to be the mightiest close-combat attack in the extreme north. Its terrifying strength was able to freeze title douluo instantly.
However, Xue Nue’s attack a moment ago was the upgraded version of her empress’s palm.
It was inspired by Kaguya’s vacuum palm when she showcased to Yunlong’s maids how to control Spirit Energy more efficiently.
A high-powered palm attack exploded with a ferocious shockwave and approached the energy dome.
BOOM! Crack!
The dome smashed with an incredibly chill attack, freezing the 7th class dome defense. A crack started to appear and corroded the barrier.
Xue Nu frowned and tilted her head to the left, naturally dodging a cannon shell because someone in that dome was able to find her location above the snowstorm.
She caught the cannon shell with her hand and froze it with Ultimate Snow.
“Well, they are more persistent than I thought.” She commented casually.
“Black Sun’s True Avatar!” A yell echoed inside the snowstorm.
SWOOSH!
A black sun appeared in the air and increased the temperature violently. This sudden reaction caused the opposite element to clash between cold and hot.
Xue Nu’s Absolute Snow element is powerful but likewise the black sun in terms of power.
BOOM!
The snowstorm vanished, and a bright black sun fully manifested in the air, burning the cold air away.
“I see… It’s Spirit Fusion.” Xue Nu looked down and saw four people gathering in formation. Her cold blue eyes shone in amusement.
“Even though it’s artificial, they were still able to reach Ultimate Fire’s level, huh.”
As the snowstorm cleared from the seashore, Sun and Moon agents finally can see Xue Nu’s appearance.
They were shocked because Snow Empress shouldn’t be in this place, but one of them trembled in excitement.
“Snow Empress?” A young woman said while looking at Xue Nu.
She possessed bright purple hair with some blue shade strands like striking lightning. Her height is barely over 5ft, with a somewhat slender yet bountiful body.
Her name is Xiao Bing. She is another Admiral from Sun and Moon’s Fleets. Don’t be tricked by her youthful appearance because her age is over 100 now.
According to the main force’s knowledge, Snow Empress should have been in the extreme north and ruled over that place.
Yet, this cold white-haired beauty appeared right in front of them. One of the top ten fierce beasts in this world, the heavenly snow woman.
Xiao Bing tapped something on her clothes and said, “We shall change our mission right now.”
“Capture the Snow Empress and bring her to the base.” A bolt of lightning flickered in Xiao Bing’s eyes.
Xiao Bing’s squad member nodded and moved in a strange formation, encircling the four members who initiated Spirit Fusion, the black sun.
They cannot let Snow Empress touch these four members as her snowstorm domain would hinder the mission again.
Xiao Bing picked out a metal coin from her spatial storage and aimed it at Xue Nu. A black spirit ring manifested behind her back, shining with lightning rays.
The metal coin heated because of the electromagnetic force generated by Xiao Bing, releasing an intense heat.
“Silver Beam…” She launched a silver ray at Xue Nu.
SWOOSH!
Xue Nu dodged to the right and was surprised because the silver ray bent abruptly in her direction.
‘Oh, interesting.’ She raised her right hand.
BOOM!
Xiao Bing’s expression hardened because Xue Nu somehow wasn’t even scratched by her attack. It’s bizarre because her Silver Beam could even melt the 8th class barrier.
“Hmm, what’s she doing?” She tilted her head in confusion.
Xue Nu played around with her hand and formed several hand signs. “Snow Style: Snowstorm Dragon’s Breath.” She inhaled cold air into her lung.
Xiao Bing’s eyes widened because the spirit energy around them became stagnant.
An enormous snowstorm brewed in the sky, turning into a beautiful white dragon.
ROAR!
The white dragon quickly released a breath full of Ultimate Snow element and painted the whole seashore with snowy color.
If no one witnessed this terrifying scene, any future visitors would believe this place was snow land from the beginning.
“How? This attack is not in her record.” Xiao Bing hurriedly injected something into her body and summoned her martial soul’s avatar.
A silhouette of an enormous purple-scaled python materialized around Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing’s martial soul was called Demonic Lightning Python and possessed the unique ability to integrate lightning energy inside its body, creating pure lightning similar to Yunlong’s heavenly punishing lightning, alas awfully weaker.
“Python Scales.” She activated her second spirit skill.
A series of translucent purple snake scales instantly appeared on Xiao Bing’s skin. This act as inner armor because she owned battle armor like every Admiral in the fleets.
It’s a little different because she asked the lab to add some modifications in post-production. Battle Armor actually was created to become suited for the user, but Xiao Bing wanted more than just perfect.
A purple flash appeared from Xiao Bing’s chest, initiating her battle armor from the chest plate.
“Like I would let you do that.” Xue Nu obviously won’t stay still and launched another breath at them.
Xiao Bing’s 8th spirit ring exploded in purple brilliance and illuminated the 1km squares area with ferocious lightning.
Xue Nu arrived in front of Xiao Bing and sent a palm attack to her face. “Empress’s Palm.” She pressed her left palm forward.
“Lightning Flash.” She dodged Xue Nu’s palm attack.
BOOM!
The member of her squad was swept over by chill energy, freezing them solidly into ice.
Crack!
The black sun crumbled because two members instantly were killed by Xue Nu’s attack. They aren’t even Soul Douluo, so handling her attack would be impossible.
Meanwhile, the other members survived because Xue Nu’s Empress palm is a close-combat technique.
Xiao Bing flashed and sent a kick at Xue Nu’s stomach.
BAM!
Xue Nu felt a sting in her body and countered Xiao Bing with Empress’s Palm again.
BOOM!
They clashed with each other, sending snow and lighting flying in all directions.
“Thunder Crash.” Xiao Bing’s entire right arm becomes straight like a spear, lunging upward to Xue Nu’s head.
The heavenly snow woman read Xiao Bing’s movement, dodging her attack by a thin hair distance. Her cold blue eyes were surprised by the speed of this title douluo’s strike.
Even though Xiao Bing’s attack isn’t enough to kill her, it would still injure her.
‘She’s at level 95 now.’ Xue Nu thought while dodging spear-arm attacks. ‘Her spirit rank keeps increasing.’
Fwip! BAM!
A lightning whip smacked onto Xue Nu’s thigh, ripping apart a chunk of her snowy dress. It’s a miserable sight because her creamy white skin had to be tainted with burn marks.
“Hoho, little scars should be fine, right?” Xiao Bing laughed with a hint of mockery.
Her previous attack moved through time and space, disabling Xue Nu from dodging it.
Snow Empress is a strong creature, but her mastery over time and space sensory is weak. Unlike Di Tian, who possessed a space element, her Ultimate Snow limited herself.
That’s proven true because Xiao Bing’s 9th attack manipulated lightning through time and space, creating an invisible attack that naked eyes couldn’t see.
Well, Xiao Bing’s data is misleading. What she knew was about future Xue Nu, not the current her.
They are only 5 meters apart, but Xiao Bing could feel coldness radiating from Xue Nu’s eyes.
“To think I’d get injured,” Xue Nu commented while shaking her head. “I’m losing my bet against Gu Yuena.”
“I underestimated humans too much.”
A vial filled with Yunlong’s Essence Blood appeared on Xue Nu’s hand. “With this, I’ll accept my allegiance for him.” She said while drinking the blood.
Gulp!
Xue Nu never understood why Yunlong was kind to her. They are just allies with a master-servant contract till the enemy from the outer world comes to this planet.
It’s simply a contract with no attachment whatsoever, but Xue Nu had to admit Yunlong’s kindness did touch her heart.
She didn’t show her affection or desire for him blatantly like Kaguya. As Snow Empress, she couldn’t see Yunlong as more than a business partner with benefits.
After this contract ended, everyone would return to normal.
Yet, As Xue Nu, she can’t help but want to be on Yunlong’s side more.
.
.
‘Yes, everything will be the same in the end…’ Xue Nu closed her eyes.
“This is futile advice, but when you agreed to become Yunlong’s maid, your fate firmly was tied to him.” Gu Yuena’s voice echoed in Xue Nu’s mind.
“It’s weird, I know.”
“Yunlong possessed an unavoidable attraction that I, Silver Dragon King, couldn’t reject.”
“Every time I tried to become closer with him, I experienced this weird feeling in my heart.”
Xue Nu still remembered when Gu Yuena solemnly proposed a bet between them.
“Let’s make a bet, Xue Nu.”
“The first person who ever accepted this feeling would swallow his essence blood earlier than the other?”
Spirit Beasts have a different ideology than humans.
Yet, they still believed that strength is everything in this cruel world, no matter who you are or what kind of race you are.
Snow Empress has pride for not using Yunlong’s Essence Blood all this time. She knew he had given her the privilege to absorb it, but something was holding her back.
Love is something Snow Empress frowned upon, but her experience as Xue Nu opened her eyes. It’s a comforting sensation, making her achieve more than ever.
.
.
Xiao Bing narrowed her gaze and sent several lightning whips at Xue Nu.
CLANK! BAM!
A thick energy-based barrier protected Xue Nu from incoming attacks. Her white hair attained a shade of gold and silver rays, intertwining into a platinum color.
Xue Nu’s body released an intense wild aura, the polar opposite of her gentle snow-like presence.
“Huh?” Xiao Bing stared at Xue Nu and saw a pair of cold blue dragon eyes.
A dragon claw suddenly reached over her neck, strangling her tightly with a powerful grip.
Snow Empress stood with an apathetic look on her face. Her entire body changed at such a fast speed and merged with Yunlong’s Essence Blood.
There are no drastic changes in Xue Nu’s appearance, but her dress now had a dragon head’s mark, spawning from the bottom to the top.
“How amusing,” Xue Nu commented while feeling her 750.000 years of cultivation age. “I’ve passed my past limit.”
“As expected, his blood is truly amazing.”
Xiao Bing felt threatened and activated her armor’s defensive abilities.
BOOM!
A force field blew Xue Nu’s hand away, which opened a way for Xiao Bing to make a distance from her.
Xue Nu shook her head and froze the barrier, making it crumble under her fingertips.
Unlike other maids who have to absorb Yunlong’s Essence Blood slowly, Xue Nu’s linage as Heavenly Snow Woman is somehow very compatible with it, causing her to merge it into her body perfectly.
She felt more powerful, but knowing this wasn’t her limit was exhilarating.
BAM!
A lightning whip appeared out of thin air, and Xue Nu caught it casually, leaving Xiao Bing speechless.
Xue Nu raised her lips into a playful grin and returned a favor by punching Xiao Bing’s armor in the stomach.
BAM! Crack!
“H-How.” Xiao Bing felt a chill in her stomach.
“My strength is increasing like a snowball running down from a mountain, and it becomes more and more solid yet powerful.”
(An: Snowball Effect xd)
Xiao Bing gritted her teeth in frustration and unleashed her ultimate move. Intense lightning generated from her body, causing the battle armor to become slender.
“Thunder God’s Whip.” Her hand condensed with spirit energy and launched a lightning whip through space.
Xue Nu’s dragon eyes moved and blinked a little, clearing any obstruction from the incoming attack. It’s clear and detailed now.
The sky turned dark because of Xiao Bing, and a lightning strike in the form of a whip descended. A mighty pressure fell onto the seashore, destroying the area to oblivion.
Xue Nu raised her hand and summoned an enormous deep blue sword made of ice crystals.
“Empress’s Sword.”
A terrifying force swept over when Empress’s Sword moved in the air, creating a fan-like projection.
“I DON’T CARE ANYMORE!” Xiao Bing roared while pumping her spirit energy.
“DIE, SNOW EMPRESS!”
Xue Nu activated her soul core and felt a massive surge of energy explode inside, boosting Empress’s Sword strength by several folds.
As she followed Yunlong’s way, her soul core absolutely was different from the current standard. Not only in strength but usefulness.
The blue sword moved like gentle snow and slashed every lightning on its path, freezing them afterward.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of thunderclaps echoed on the seashore.
Xiao Bing watched her ultimate move getting destroyed slowly but surely.
The time and space around her suddenly become rigid like frozen solid. “What’s this?” She blinked in disbelief and felt a sharp item entering her heart.
Cough!
“Y-You shouldn’t be this strong.” Xiao Bing coughed blood and felt her entire body’s temperature drop.
“My name is not you,” Xue Nu replied indifferently. “I have a name, Xue Nu.”
Xiao Bing couldn’t respond to Xue Nu because she had become a frozen statue with a lifeless appearance.
“That was something…” Xue Nu sighed while feeling something in her chest, a ring given by Yunlong, resting between her bosom.
“Well, it’s not bad.” She smiled a little and wore the ring on her finger.
“Good job, Xue Nu.” Yunlong’s voice appeared in her head.
Xue Nu yelped in surprise and responded, “D-Don’t startle me like that!”
Yunlong laughed and added, “I don’t know you have such a cute side, Xue Nu.”
Xue Nu lowered her head and brushed the shade of red on her cheeks. “Am I cute..?” She whispered to herself.
