The loud booms echoed above the ruins of the Ise Grand Shrine, and heaven and earth trembled under this massive force!

Zhou Huai gripped the abyssal blood dragon spear with both hands, looking down from above as he repeatedly smashed down at the blue figure in the deep pit!

"Scream! Weren't you screaming quite happily just now?!"

"Bang!"

Another heavy cleave! The spear's blade whipped up Abyssal Demonic Flames, smashing against the Empress's last remaining Extreme Ice Shield, causing the entire iceberg to crumble and disintegrate.

"A Dominator of the old era? Standing above the rules of the present world?"

"Bang—!!!"

"You can't even break this iron shell of mine, so what kind of Empress are you? I think calling you the Extreme Ice Old Turtle would be more fitting!"

Zhou Huai fought with increasing madness; accompanied by the grand power of All-Aspects Unity, shadows of the spear poured out completely!

"Aaaaaah—! Ant of the present world, I will pull out your tendons and strip your bones!!!"

From the bottom of the deep pit, the Extreme Ice Empress let out a shrill scream!

Since awakening from the ancient era, she had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace! To be pinned to the ground and repeatedly struck by a human she considered a mongrel, right in front of a Tree Demon!

This was a desecration of her Divine Soul!

The loud booms continued—

As Zhou Huai prepared to pierce her skull with his spear once more, a cold current erupted from the bottom of the pit! The current was no longer a ghostly blue but was mixed with black blood, emitting a nauseating, rotten stench!

"Bang!"

A powerful recoil forced Zhou Huai back dozens of meters. He stabilized himself in mid-air, the demonic flames on his abyssal blood war armor flickering violently as he stared into the abyss below through the gaps in his dragon-horn visor.

"Still not giving up?" Zhou Huai sneered. "Whatever trump cards you have left, show them all to me!"

"You forced me into this... You forced me into this!!!"

In the deep pit, the Empress's voice became coarse, even mixed with the low growls of an ancient Vicious Beast.

"Extreme Cold Sacrifice—Body and Dao Fusion!!!"

Accompanied by a roar that shattered the firmament, a massive mass of flesh and ice crystals slowly rose from the pit!

Even someone as arrogant as Zhou Huai couldn't help but tighten his grip on his long spear.

The Extreme Ice Empress had completely lost her human silhouette!

In pursuit of ultimate power to obliterate Zhou Huai, she had completely abandoned her nobility and dignity as a humanoid Dominator, performing the most thorough and deep fusion of her own Origin of Extreme Cold with the Divine Soul and flesh of that pseudo-divine rank Abyssal Profound Ice Alligator Turtle!

Her body shot up wildly, swelling to a massive fifteen meters in height!

Her once snow-white, delicate skin was covered in dark blue, thick turtle scales that emitted a pungent, fishy odor! Her spine was forcibly split open, and a massive Profound Ice Turtle Shell covered in hideous ice spikes squeezed out from her back amidst dripping blood!

Even more hair-raising was her face!

That once beautiful and aloof face was completely split open from the bridge of the nose down, turning into the blood-red maw of an Alligator Snapping Turtle filled with fangs! Two crimson vertical pupils locked onto Zhou Huai, with no trace of reason left in her eyes, only the most primitive desire to kill!

Second Form! A truly aberrant monster!

"Roar—!"

The Empress, turned monster, opened her bloody maw and spat out a cloud of toxic gas mixed with ice shards. "Die! Die! Die! I will strip this skin off you and chew your flesh piece by piece!"

"Fuck! You mutate because you can't win? You're so damn ugly it's nauseating!"

Zhou Huai spat, gripping his long spear as he charged forward. "So what if you got bigger? I'll still smash you into mincemeat!"

"Boastful talk! Die for this Empress!!!"

A sonic boom cloud erupted from the ice spikes on the Aberrant Empress's back, and her massive body actually displayed a terrifying speed ten times faster than before!

In just the blink of an eye!

Those arms, which had turned into giant ice-crystal beast claws, clawed fiercely toward Zhou Huai's chest with a terrifying, space-piercing whistle!

"Good timing!"

Zhou Huai didn't dodge; he pushed Overlord Xiang Yu's Indestructible Demon God and Yasuo's Thunder Gods Armor within him to their limits!

"Sky-Breaking dragon spear—Get the hell away from me!!!"

The black abyssal blood dragon spear let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar, and with Zhou Huai's Heaven-Defying strength that doubled all his attributes, it swept fiercely against the Empress's ice claws!

"Clang—!!!"

The two massive forces collided head-on in mid-air without any buffer!

A visible wave of destructive shockwaves, centered on the two of them, swept wildly in all directions!

Everywhere it passed, the ruins of the Ise Grand Shrine were turned into fine powder! Large areas of the hard, ten-thousand-year-old ice layer collapsed!

"Arghhh!"

The Aberrant Empress's claws tightly gripped the shaft of the dragon spear, and a ghostly light of destruction erupted from her crimson vertical pupils. "Extreme Cold Storm: Extinction of All Things!"

Absolute low temperatures of hundreds of degrees below zero spread wildly along the spear shaft, attempting to freeze Zhou Huai along with his armor into an ice sculpture!

"You want to clash head-on with me? You old turtle aren't worthy!"

Zhou Huai laughed wildly, the Mana Source of Gandalf within his chest operating at full power!

"Soul-Devouring Nether Flame—Burn!!!"

Flames surged!

Dark green Exotic Fire gushed out from the gaps in the abyssal blood war armor, burning back along the dragon spear directly toward the Empress's arms! The Nether Flame specifically burned the Soul; it didn't matter how thick the profound ice armor she wore on the outside was!

"Hiss—!" The Empress let out a non-human scream of pain, but she fought on without retreating, instead opening her bloody maw and biting down fiercely toward Zhou Huai's head!

"Get lost!"

Zhou Huai kicked the Empress's plastron, using the force to retreat while pointing his left hand like a sword toward the firmament!

"Ten Thousand Thunder Attraction! Meteor Fire Rain! Thunder-Fire Composite Forbidden Spell, smash her!!!"

A world-shaking boom—!

Above the firmament, on one side, purple-gold Nine Heavens Divine Lightning fell, while on the other, giant meteors entwined with dark green Exotic Fire whistled down!

Two completely different Laws of destruction detonated simultaneously on the Empress's massive body!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In this frantic clash that surpassed the limits of the current dimension, the entire ruin world finally reached its absolute breaking point!

"Crack... Crack, crack!"

The crisp sound of cracking suddenly drowned out the loud booms of the explosions!

Above the firmament, the sky that was originally covered in gray mist and ice and snow split open with dark gaps tens of thousands of meters long!

Those were lethal Spatial Turbulences!

The tectonic plates began to flip and fracture erratically, magma and extreme cold undercurrents from deep underground erupted wildly, and the entire ruin space of the Ise Grand Shrine was heading toward complete collapse at a visible speed!

"Madmen! These two are fucking complete madmen!!!"

In the distance, Tsubaki, who had been watching the show from a safe distance, was forced to jump down from a tree branch in a disheveled state by a sudden spatial crack.

A hole was torn in her green dress by the Spatial Astral Winds, making her curse furiously: "If you two want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Looking at the growing black void overhead that threatened to swallow everything, Tsubaki grew anxious.

If this spatial barrier were to completely shatter, the Dimensional Turbulence sucked in would grind everything here—including her precious Clone—into the most basic elementary particles!

"Hey! Zhou Huai! Stop this right fucking now!!!"

Tsubaki roared at the top of her lungs toward the dazzling energy storm in mid-air.

"Stop my ass!"

From the center of the storm came Zhou Huai's panting yet still arrogant shout: "If I stop now, this deformed old hag will twist my head off and ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ kick it like a ball the next second!"
