**
The Black Gold Thunder Orb and the icy blue light streaked across the sky like meteorites. In the gaze of countless onlookers, they collided with an earth-shattering impact, carrying a momentum of sheer destruction.
"Boom!"
The terrifying Black Gold Thunder Orb erupted upon contact, unleashing a thunderous power capable of obliterating the heavens and earth.
"Clang!"
A piercing, sharp sound reverberated through the sky, seeming to penetrate the very souls of those who heard it. Faces twisted in agony as many clutched their ears in pain, their expressions contorted in despair.
"Crash!"
A tide of icy-blue frost erupted, spreading across the heavens. Under this terrifying cold, even the void seemed to shimmer with a fine layer of frost. Outside the vast boundary of frost, the thunderous power clashed fiercely, intertwining with the icy energy in a life-or-death struggle for dominance.
In the sky, the Black Gold Thunder Orb and the icy-blue frost split the heavens into two, each pouring out their overwhelming energy. The collision was a sight that shook the world to its core.
Tian She hovered in the air, his body trembling uncontrollably. The immense pressure emanating from the frost made his arms feel like they were about to snap. He knew all too well that if he faltered for even a moment, the Black Gold Thunder Orb, imbued with the power of destruction, would shatter the icy barrier of the Frost God Arrow and crush him into a bloody pulp.
Thus, even if it cost him his last ounce of strength, he could not retreat. "Bing Xuan, Bing Hua, Bing Ling, send me your dou qi immediately!"
Tian She's face twisted in ferocity as his venomous gaze locked onto the indistinct figure within the icy fog, roaring angrily.
Hearing his roar, the three behind him—Bing Xuan, Bing Hua, and Bing Ling—hesitated for a moment before gritting their teeth. They pressed their palms to his back, channeling their dou qi into his body without reserve.
With the influx of dou qi, the pressure on Tian She's arms lessened. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he bellowed, "Extreme Freezing!"
As his shout rang out, the torrent of dou qi mixed with his own surged into the pale blue frost. The temperature of the frost grew even more terrifying, to the point where even a high-tier Dou Zong entering it would be frozen into an ice sculpture within ten breaths—unable to even preserve their soul.
Yet, just as they condensed their powerful Ice Zun Force, the Black Gold Thunder Orb became utterly berserk. Its devastating power shattered the Ice God Arrow in an instant.
"Crack! Crack!"
The ferocious onslaught caught even Tian She off guard. The terrifying thunder orb was powerful enough to inflict grievous harm on a Dou Zong, if not outright kill one.
In this desperate moment, Tian She had no time to strategize. He raised his snake staff, positioning it in front of his chest in a final act of defense.
"Boom!"
The heavens showed no mercy. The Black Gold Thunder Orb struck the snake staff with unparalleled force.
"Bang!"
A massive thunderstorm erupted, shaking the heavens and engulfing everything. The surrounding icy fog could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered apart with a resounding explosion. The Ice God Bow gradually dissolved into nothingness.
The thunderstorm surged onward, and the trio of Bing Xuan, Bing Hua, and Bing Ling, who were just behind Tian She, were caught in its devastating wake before they could escape.
They spat blood as their bodies were flung through the air like broken kites. They plummeted from the sky, crashing into Tian Huang City below. Along the way, countless buildings were reduced to rubble.
Countless eyes watched in stunned silence as the three fell, then turned to the thunderstorm above. An icy chill crept into the hearts of all who witnessed the terrifying scene.
High in the sky, the people of Ice River Valley and Sound Valley were horrified as they gazed at the storm of thunder and lightning. The power unleashed by Mo Yu left them utterly shaken.
The people of Ice River Valley finally felt true fear. No one had expected that the seemingly insignificant young man could wield such terrifying power.
"Boom!"
As the spectators were lost in their terror, a figure was flung violently out of the thunderstorm, spitting fresh blood as they fell.
"Elder Tian She?"
Some sharp-eyed members of Ice River Valley recognized the pale-faced, blood-covered figure clutching a shattered snake staff. It was none other than Tian She himself!
At this moment, Tian She was more wretched than a beggar. His aura was so weak that death seemed imminent.
"Crash!"
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Tian She's bloodied body crashed into Tian Huang City, creating a massive crater. His figure lay motionless within, his fate unknown.
"Ice River Valley has lost…"
The city fell into a deathly silence. All eyes were fixed on the massive crater, their minds overwhelmed by the day's events. The battles they had witnessed could only be described as earth-shattering.
How many times in a lifetime could one witness such a spectacular battle?
In the sky, the elders and disciples of Ice River Valley stared blankly at the lifeless Tian She. Fear began to seep into their hearts, spreading uncontrollably.
"Damn it!"
A cold snort suddenly echoed through the heavens. Mo Yu turned his gaze toward the sound and saw Elder Jue Yin standing opposite Tian Shuang Zi, his expression grim.
"Even I misjudged this time," Tian Shuang Zi muttered darkly, his gaze fixed on Mo Yu.
Mo Yu met Tian Shuang Zi's gaze indifferently. With the power of the Black Gold Thunder Orb, defeating Tian She and the others together was not surprising. If his strength were greater, even Tian Shuang Zi would not fare well against him.
"You defeated four people, including Tian She, as a three-star Dou Zong. That is indeed unexpected," Tian Shuang Zi said coldly. "But unfortunately, Ice River Valley will not tolerate any more failures this time."
"You won't be able to act today," Elder Jue Yin interjected, raising her eyes toward Mo Yu. "Don't worry. Leave him to me and this esteemed one."
As she spoke, Elder Jue Yin glanced at Qing Zhi beside her, a hint of surprise flickering in her aged eyes.
Qing Zhi's mastery of the Ice Zun Force—an unshared secret of Ice River Valley—was akin to Sound Valley's exclusive Heavenly Demon Sound Pagoda technique. It had never been shared with outsiders.
Not only had Qing Zhi mastered the Ice Zun Force, but she had also cultivated it to its second tier, an undeniable slap in Ice River Valley's face.
On the other side, Tian Shuang Zi glared at Qing Zhi, whose body radiated black ice. His expression was grim.
Not only had the Ice Zun Force been leaked, but its practitioner was also a Dou Zun. This was no less significant than the matter of capturing the Woeful Poison Maiden.
Mo Yu observed the unfolding scene and thought to himself, "At this stage, the valley master of Ice River Valley, Bing He, should make his appearance…"
As if responding to his thoughts, a cold and indifferent voice rang out like thunder, shaking the heavens and startling everyone.
From the distorted space, a throne of ice began to materialize. Atop it, a white-robed figure slowly rose.
In that moment, the world's temperature plunged into an icy abyss!
The cold energy in the heavens and earth surged to its peak as the white-robed figure within the distorted space slowly rose to his feet. A chilling sound of cracking echoed from within the warped space, and a faintly black ice staircase extended outward. The white-robed figure stepped forward slowly along this staircase, his every step exuding an overwhelming pressure.
When the white-robed figure revealed himself, countless gazes immediately turned toward him.
This unexpected arrival donned a flowing white robe, his tall and slender figure appearing remarkably young, with an indifferent air between his brows.
Standing on the black ice staircase, his hands clasped behind his back, snowflakes whirled around him in a fierce storm. These seemingly fragile flakes carried an unimaginably destructive force, making the atmosphere tense and oppressive.
"Is that... the Ice River Valley Master, Bing He?"
"My heavens! That old monster actually came in person! To go to such lengths over the Woeful Poison Body—this is terrifying!"
The exclamations of shock echoed throughout Tian Huang City. Among those in the Liu Clan, all the members were stunned, their faces pale with dread. Even Liu Fei's complexion turned ghostly white, her body trembling uncontrollably.
The Ice River Valley Master—this name was synonymous with terror across the Central Region. A powerhouse of his level, rarely seen in the world, had now descended personally for Mo Yu and his group. This legendary figure's appearance was nothing short of astonishing.
Xiao Yixian's expression tensed as her beautiful eyes glanced worriedly at Mo Yu. The arrival of the Ice River Valley Master left her uncertain whether this was a blessing or a calamity.
"Greetings, Valley Master!"
In the sky, the Ice River Valley disciples, including Tian Shuang Zi, were overjoyed at the sight of the white-robed man. They quickly bowed and greeted him with utmost respect.
"Where is Tian She?"
The white-robed man's calm gaze swept across the area before he asked.
At his question, Tian Shuang Zi's expression grew awkward. He hesitated before pointing toward a massive crater within Tian Huang City, where the severely injured Tian She lay on the verge of death.
Following Tian Shuang Zi's gesture, Bing He glanced toward the pit. After a brief moment, he nodded slightly. The snowflakes around him began spinning faster, exuding an even greater oppressive force.
"I never thought even the Valley Master of Ice River Valley would make a personal appearance," Elder Jue Yin murmured to herself. After pondering for a moment, she cupped her fists toward Bing He in a show of respect.
Although she was also a Dou Zun, and the Sound Valley was on equal footing with the Ice River Valley, she understood the vast gap in strength between herself and Bing He. Among Dou Zun experts, the difference between star levels was staggering, creating an almost insurmountable hierarchy.
Without certain unique techniques, surpassing one's rank within the Dou Zun realm was exceedingly difficult. Moreover, the Ice River Valley Master's fame, though slightly later than hers, rivaled even Su Yao's, perhaps slightly exceeding it.
Thus, despite her allegiance to Mo Yu, Elder Jue Yin refrained from irreparably offending Bing He.
At this thought, her aged eyes involuntarily turned toward Mo Yu. She was curious to see what methods this youth, barely in his twenties, could employ to confront a four-star peak Dou Zun like Bing He.
Bing He acknowledged Elder Jue Yin's gesture with only a slight nod before speaking.
"The Sound Valley and Ice River Valley have always avoided interfering with one another. May I ask why your valley has chosen to meddle in our affairs? Or does your valley hold some grievance against mine?"
Facing Bing He's questioning, Elder Jue Yin's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. She glanced at Mo Yu briefly before cautiously replying, "This matter is not an intentional provocation against Ice River Valley. Rather, the Sound Valley owes Mo Yu a great debt, which is why we intervened. If we have offended you, I hope the Valley Master can forgive us."
Hearing this, a flicker of interest appeared in Bing He's icy gaze as he studied Mo Yu.
For someone to compel Sound Valley to act against Ice River Valley—what kind of monumental favor was this?
His eyes gleamed as he examined the unique energy on Mo Yu's Thunder Wings and Thunder Armor. After a moment, Bing He dismissed any thoughts of underestimating the young man.
Given Mo Yu's mysterious background, Bing He couldn't ignore the possibility of him being connected to one of the hidden forces beyond the well-known "One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions."
"I only want the Woeful Poison Body," Bing He declared, his gaze shifting toward Xiao Yixian. As his eyes locked on her, a rare fiery intensity emerged.
To Bing He, Xiao Yixian's latent Woeful Poison Body was akin to a delicious feast, irresistibly drawing his appetite.
"A four-star peak Dou Zun… apart from Mang Ting, this is likely the strongest Dou Zun I've encountered. I suppose I'll have to use that. It's a pity to waste it on him, but there's no other choice."
Mo Yu's eyes flickered with determination as he let out a sigh. For Xiao Yixian's sake, he couldn't afford to hold back.
Without hesitation, he extended his hand, and a black, ancient-looking talisman appeared in his palm, its aura rippling with unfathomable energy.
When Bing He saw the talisman, his composed expression faltered slightly. For the first time, an overwhelming sense of danger surged through him.
His face shifted drastically.
"Bing He, take this!"
Before Bing He could react, Mo Yu's cold smile deepened, and a bolt of black lightning erupted from the talisman. The attack pierced the heavens like a laser, distorting the very space it passed through.
The terrifying force twisted the surrounding space like a vortex, freezing even time itself.
Amidst Bing He's shocked and disbelieving gaze, the lightning tore through his body without mercy.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion reverberated across the land, shaking the world to its core.
