Chapter 756: Fierce Battle Against the Ice Profound Demon Emperor
In a vast, otherworldly space, a seemingly infinite stellar river stretched out. From a rift at the river's center, an immense wave of demonic energy erupted, exuding a bone chilling coldness that seemed capable of freezing one's very soul.
Xiao Ze stood amidst a swirling aura of brilliance, his starry spiritual energy radiating boundless power. Though he had achieved mastery over his own energy, the sheer magnitude of the energy granted by the Master of Yaoguang was overwhelming. Even with his exceptional control, he struggled to contain its vastness.
Rather than act rashly, Xiao Ze chose to focus on refining his control over the energy while keeping a wary eye on the rift.
A Calculated Approach
The consciousness of the Master of Yaoguang, temporarily residing in Xiao Ze's body, observed this with satisfaction.
"He remains composed even after receiving such immense power," the Master mused, nodding in approval.
"Not only does he possess overwhelming talent, but he also exhibits restraint and wisdom."
This increased the Master's confidence in his earlier consideration entrusting Xiao Ze with the legacy of the Chaotic Divine Emperor.
Oblivious to these thoughts, Xiao Ze focused intently on the rift, where the Ice Profound Demon Emperor was gathering strength.
A Dangerous Foe
The Master of Yaoguang had explained the origins of the Ice Profound Demon Emperor. Though not one of the 32 great clans of the foreign demons, the Ice Demon Clan was still a powerful force.
The rift began to pulse as waves of energy emanated from within. Xiao Ze raised his hand, channeling the stellar energy into Qing Yanjing behind him.
A gentle push sent her retreating to safety, while his voice rang out in her ears:
"Teacher Qing Yanjing, please protect yourself."
Protected by a barrier of stellar light, Qing Yanjing didn't resist. Retrieving her stone tower, she remained vigilant. The power stored within the tower was enough for one strike, but it could severely weaken the Demon Emperor, whose strength had waned over the ages.
The Demon Emperor Emerges
In the depths of the rift, the Demon Emperor roared one final time, tearing through the stellar seal that bound him.
Upon breaking free, the demonic soul began to condense, forming a massive body of black ice, imbuing it with an aura of unyielding power.
The Demon Emperor raised his gaze, locking onto Xiao Ze outside the rift.
"Ha! So, Master of Yaoguang, you've sunk so low as to inhabit the body of a mere Earthly Supreme?"
The Demon Emperor's mocking voice echoed across the stellar river. The Master of Yaoguang remained silent, but Xiao Ze smiled faintly.
Without a word, he channeled the river's energy, forming a colossal stellar spear that streaked toward the rift with unstoppable momentum.
A Clash of Titans
"Arrogant!"
The Demon Emperor roared as waves of freezing demonic energy engulfed the rift, transforming it into an icy demonic domain.
Layers of black ice formed to intercept the spear. But the spear, imbued with the infinite power of the stars, pierced through each barrier, reaching the Demon Emperor himself.
A sharp screech filled the air as the Demon Emperor caught the spear tip in his hand, halting its advance. Though unscathed, his expression darkened with anger.
"A mere Earthly Supreme dared to breach my defenses?"
His voice turned icy as he glared at Xiao Ze.
"Your compatibility with stellar energy is impressive, but I'll make you regret it. I'll show you the despair of standing against a Demon Emperor!"
A Relentless Assault
Unfazed, Xiao Ze sneered.
"Is boasting the only way foreign demons rise to power? Seems fitting for someone who's lost his original body!"
With a shift of his thoughts, the stellar river surged once more, forming countless spears that rained down upon the rift.
"Frozen Hell Domain!"
The Demon Emperor's icy aura expanded, freezing the incoming spears mid flight. A faint snap echoed as they shattered into fragments.
"Your defiance will cost you dearly," the Demon Emperor growled, his tone laced with malice.
A Deadly Encounter
The Demon Emperor leaped from the rift, his towering icy form emanating an oppressive aura. His chilling presence froze the surrounding void, forming black ice crystals in the air.
Xiao Ze stood his ground, raising a glowing palm.
"Great Stellar Palm!"
The entire stellar river seemed to respond, its energy condensing into a massive stellar palm print that spanned tens of thousands of miles. It descended with devastating force, aiming to crush the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor's icy demeanor faltered slightly as he raised his hands. Between them, he conjured a dark, freezing sphere of energy.
"Extinction Frost Sphere!"
From the sphere burst countless beams of frigid energy, each carrying the power to obliterate. The beams collided with the stellar palm, shattering the surrounding void and dimming the stellar river.
The Strength of a Demon Emperor
Xiao Ze's expression turned grim as he felt the strength of his opponent.
"This is the power of a Demon Emperor equivalent to an Immortal Heavenly Supreme," he thought.
"Even after eons of suppression, his strength is beyond formidable."
Yet he stood resolute, golden flames beginning to flicker around his hands.
"Let's see how well you handle this."
