The core forbidden zone had become a law grinding field. Xiao Qi clashed with the Demon Lord's Eternal Silence Singularity using the World Purifying Green Lotus Seal. The collision of two extreme laws annihilated into large chaotic areas. Law fragments scattered, further tearing the already ruined space. Xiao Qi's form was tottering. The Green Lotus Seal light was sharply dimming, clearly reaching the end of its strength. Though the Demon Lord's True Body was also injured, its origin was profound. The Eternal Silence Singularity still emitted a despair-inducing devouring force, pressing closely.
Mu Xue watched anxiously by the side. She had tried to attack the Demon Lord directly with ice techniques, but that singularity containing extinction laws seemed capable of devouring all energy. Her attacks were like a mud ox entering the sea, almost injured by the backlash. She understood she could not directly intervene in this top-level law confrontation.
But she could not watch Xiao Qi being worn to death!
Her gaze rapidly swept across this space on the brink of destruction. Finally, it focused on the Primordial Dark Pool still churning violently below!
The reason the Demon Lord could urge the Eternal Silence Singularity so unbridledly was closely related to this pool that seemed to gather the universe's negative history beneath its feet! As long as she could cut off or interfere with its energy supply, it would greatly weaken its strength, creating a chance for Xiao Qi to win!
With her mind made up, a trace of resolution flickered in Mu Xue's eyes. She knew with her cultivation, wanting to completely destroy this immeasurably deep pool was nothing but daydreaming. But if just temporarily ice sealing it, blocking its energy output, perhaps she could achieve it!
This required using the Xuan Ji Holy Land's trump card secret technique. The cost would be huge, possibly even injuring her origin. But now, she could not care about so much!
"Xiao Qi, hold on!"
Mu Xue shouted crisply, without the slightest hesitation. She formed an extremely complex, ancient seal with both hands before her chest, as if containing the Great Dao of Ice—the Mystic Ice Suppressing Hell Seal! This was the supreme secret technique that only core true inheritors could access. It must not be used except at critical life-and-death moments, because using it required one's soul to communicate with the Nine Abyss mystic ice qi. If one was careless, one might be backlash by that extreme cold power, frozen to death!
As the seal formed, Mu Xue's aura around her body became extremely deep and ice cold! Her hair strands and brow tips instantly condensed into a layer of crystalline frost. Even her exhaled breath transformed into ice crystal powder. A chill far purer and more extreme than any previous technique spread from her as the center. Even the chaotic violent energy flows around caused by the law collision seemed all frozen and slowed by this chill!
She poured all her soul power and all her spiritual power without reservation into this Mystic Ice Suppressing Hell Seal. Her ice blue eyes' light soared, as if transformed into two mountains of glaciers that would never melt!
"Mystic Ice... Suppressing Hell! Seal!"
She violently pressed the formed seal toward the churning Primordial Dark Pool below!
No sound, no light explosion.
Only an intangible yet as if capable of freezing time and sealing souls, extreme cold, like an invisible tide, instantly covered the entire pool!
CRACK... CRACK CRACK...
Teeth-grinding freezing sounds rang out densely!
The Primordial Dark Pool that was originally like boiling asphalt, under this chill from the Great Dao's mystic ice power, its surface at visible speed rapidly condensed and solidified! The rolling waves were frozen at the moment of being lifted. The splashed dark droplets became solidified black ice beads. Even the twisted wailing resentful faces on the pool surface were frozen into sculptures of eternal painful expressions!
In the blink of an eye, the entire immensely huge Primordial Dark Pool was forcibly ice sealed into a massive piece of black mystic ice emanating faint chill!
On the pool surface, those dark energy threads connected to the Demon Lord's True Body, at the moment the pool was frozen, as if gripped by the throat, abruptly stiffened! The pure dark energy that was originally steadily transmitted instantly interrupted, became intermittent and dim!
The Demon Lord's True Body urgently urging the Eternal Silence Singularity trembled violently! Those black hole eyes showed for the first time clear shock and anger, and... a trace of panic!
It felt that the source power originally like rivers endlessly injected into its body, suddenly became trickling streams, even possibly running dry at any time! The Eternal Silence Singularity's power, due to this sudden energy supply interruption, showed obvious diminishment!
When one weakens, the other strengthens!
The World Purifying Green Lotus Seal that was already tottering on the brink of collapse suddenly had pressure greatly reduced! Xiao Qi only felt his whole body lighten. The extinction force that seemed about to devour his very soul was clearly weakened!
He immediately seized this rare opportunity, deeply inhaling. The almost exhausted Green Lotus Origin squeezed out its last strength once more. The dim Green Lotus Seal light reignited. Although it still could not push back, it steadily withstood the greatly reduced Eternal Silence Singularity, forming a brief stalemate!
"Mu Xue!" Xiao Qi looked at the figure below who had ice sealed the pool, her face deathly pale, breath weak, even blue ice crystal blood spilling from her mouth corner. In his heart, sharp pain and gratitude intertwined. He knew how huge a cost Mu Xue had paid to create this sliver of opportunity!
The Demon Lord's True Body roared in fury to the extreme. It violently lowered its head, looking at the ice sealed pool and the ant below who dared block its power source! It allocated part of its power, a condensed dark shockwave, like a death spear, instantly shot toward the exhausted Mu Xue!
"Your opponent is me!"
Xiao Qi roared. He forcibly urged the Green Lotus Seal, allocating a strand of purifying light beam, precisely intercepting that dark shockwave, detonating it in mid-air!
Energy chaos flows engulfed. Mu Xue was sent flying, heavily collided with the ruined flesh wall, another mouthful of blood spurted out. But looking at the temporarily ice sealed pool and Xiao Qi who had stabilized his position, relief flickered in her ice blue eyes.
Her risky move had succeeded!
Although just a temporary ice seal, although the Demon Lord might break through at any time, this precious breathing room and the weakening of its power source had already injected a variable into this desperate ultimate confrontation!
The Demon Lord, enraged to the extreme, attacks grew more frantic. But having lost the stable energy support from the pool, its power no longer seemed inexhaustible as before.
The scales of victory and defeat, because of Mu Xue's life-risking strike, began to subtly tilt!
