Upon witnessing this scene.

The descendants of the Fang Family were utterly dumbfounded.

This... is the true might of the Ice God.

When she wielded the Water Cold Sword, it was as if she held the entire world in her grasp.

Such a formidable Supreme Heavenly Rank powerhouse, with a single move, she vanquished forty-nine Cultivators of Circulation Heaven Position, and her name shook the Western Regions. Yet, she was defeated by the barehanded Dragon Emperor.

So, just how powerful is the Dragon Emperor?

There will always be mountains beyond mountains, and among the strong, there are always stronger!

They had no time to ponder the unfathomably profound strength of the Dragon Emperor, as all of their gazes were locked on him without wavering.

Dozens of feet above the ground.

Overlooking the entire courtyard of the Fang Family.

The neon lights of the city, the ceaseless flow of streets.

The comings and goings of modern people...

It's a pity that this is a standalone villa; within hundreds of meters in radius, everything is strictly controlled by relevant personnel. Not to mention bystanders gathering, even flies can't fly in.

Only occasionally can one hear faint sounds of fighting.

However...

Xie Daoyun's move was too dazzling.

So much so that pedestrians hundreds of meters away could see the bright radiance of the Sword Light.

"What is that?"

"It looks like a person!"

"It's too far, can't see clearly, looks like a fairy!"

"White clothes, white hair, white boots... Wow, is that a movie being filmed over there?"

...

This situation lasted only for a few seconds.

Then, Xie Daoyun thrust her sword downwards.

A sword from the east arrives, and snow covers the world!

The surrounding air was as if brushed by a cold wind, and due to the alternation of cold and heat, snowflakes appeared in the air...

Strictly speaking, those weren't real snowflakes, but rather the effect of the condensation of Xie Daoyun's Cold Attribute Inner Essence.

"One Sword Water Cold!"

"Ninth Layer Skill!"

A decisive move upon initiation.

In line with her style of doing things, she detests dilly-dallying.

This Ninth Layer Skill completely stunned the opposing Lou Shan and Ji Wenxuan.

"My heavens... The Empress once said, even those of the same Supreme Heavenly Rank differ vastly in strength. Who would have thought that the Ice God of yesteryears was so powerful!"

"What are you waiting for? Engage the enemy!"

The two released a robust Palm Power.

Their Inner Essence gushed out like a flood.

The snowflakes around them were all melted by the extremely high temperatures.

At the same time.

Xie Daoyun's nine Sword Lights descended from the sky!

Sizzle.

Sizzle—

The ground was covered with white frost.

The Cold Qi was oppressive!

"Ice Seal!"

Ji Wenxuan's expression grew intense; his breathing became rushed, as he felt his Inner Essence freezing, becoming extremely slow to mobilize.

Lou Shan was just as pale.

The Inner Essence that they both released was not enough to withstand the freezing power of the Water Cold Sword.

This was the inherent attribute of the Water Cold Sword, Ice Seal!

"Damn! Inner Essence is frozen!" Ji Wenxuan felt an ever-increasing difficulty to breathe, and he kept retreating.

Within a range of dozens of meters around him, all was Cold Qi.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yong and others continuously fell back until they were outside the range of that sword.

The eyes of the other nine Cultivators of Circulation Heaven Position filled with fear.

This is the Supreme Heavenly Rank!

The highest existence among the nine classes of Heavenly Rank.

Even though they were only one step away from the Supreme Heavenly Rank, it was still a realm beyond what they could ever hope to reach in their lifetime!

Crack!

Everything froze.

However—

Lou Shan suddenly let out a furious shout, saying, "You forced my hand!"

A surge of black Qi violently erupted from his body.

With a thunderous boom.

He broke free from the Frozen domain.

Ji Wenxuan, upon witnessing this, was full of confusion; he was well aware of Lou Shan's strength, comparable to his own. Both being of Supreme Heavenly Rank, there was no reason he couldn't break out of Xie Daoyun's Ice Seal, yet Lou Shan managed to do it.

What trick was he playing?

Ji Wenxuan concentrated his Inner Essence internally, protecting his Dantian, Inner Core, and senses...

He couldn't help but look up.

In midair.

A red flame appeared in Lou Shan's right hand!

As he ascended, the flame grew more fierce! With a whoosh, the fire enveloped Lou Shan's entire body.

Boom!

Creak!

"Fire Dragon Order!"

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a great fire erupted.

The entire sky above the Fang Family was engulfed in flames that blazed like auroras.

Ji Wenxuan's face was full of shock as he exclaimed, "Fire Dragon Order?! It's actually the Fire Dragon Order! How did it end up in Tuoba Yong's hands?"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Tuoba Yong himself was amazed, "I never expected the Dark Temple's Divine Hall Master of the Five Great Divine Palaces to possess a Magic Artifact!"

Treasures are classified into four classes: Mortal Artifact, Treasure Artifact, Magic Artifact, Spiritual Artifact!

Each of these classes is further subdivided into Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang (Mysterious Yellow).

When a weapon reaches the Treasure Artifact of Heaven Rank, it can possess spirituality.

A Magic Artifact can display unexpected combat skills and techniques!

Strictly speaking, the Water Cold Sword is a half-finished Magic Artifact.

The Dragon Emperor's personal sword is also a semi-finished Magic Artifact... later, to increase the level of the Magic Artifact, it was sealed in the Cold Pond Forbidden Land. In this life, Fang Yu retrieved the Water Cold Sword, and to have it successfully evolve into a Magic Artifact, and then a Spiritual Artifact... hence, he found Shangguan Linghui to be the Sword Slave to this sword... But who can know Fang Yu's true purpose?

A half-finished Magic Artifact is never a true Magic Artifact.

But...

The Fire Dragon Order is indeed a genuine Magic Artifact!

A top-tier Magic Artifact of Heaven Rank!

Over a thousand years ago—

During the great battle of cultivators at Fire Dragon Mountain, countless lives were lost among the various forces vying for this treasure.

Later, the Five Great Divine Palaces joined the fray, and after paying a heavy price, the Fire Dragon Order vanished without a trace! To this day, it's unknown who it ended up with!

No one expected it to appear in Tuoba Yong's hands!

...

"Magic Artifact Fire Dragon Order?!"

Xie Daoyun's brows furrowed slightly.

She had participated in the great battle of cultivators at Fire Dragon Mountain back then and was well aware of the preciousness of this Magic Artifact!

A trace of intensity finally appeared on Xie Daoyun's usually cold and detached face.

Below, the area covered by the Ice Seal of the Water Cold Sword indeed began to disintegrate... The Fire Dragon Order is truly the nemesis of the Cold Attribute Inner Essence!

With the Fire Dragon Order in hand, Tuoba Yong arrogantly declared:

"Ice God, all of this was forced by you..."

Looking at Tuoba Yong.

Xie Daoyun said indifferently, "I never imagined that the Fire Dragon Order, sought after by everyone, would end up in your hands..."

"Words are meaningless... You have always followed the Dragon Emperor, and now it is the era of Empress Ziwei. With each new ruler comes new subjects; our stances differ. My respect for you does not mean I will not take action!"

Xie Daoyun replied, "You obtained the Fire Dragon Order but have been afraid to use it, which means you have a guilty conscience... Tell me, how did you come into possession of the Fire Dragon Order?"

"If I said it was given by Empress Ziwei, would you believe me?"

Xie Daoyun's mind went blank for a moment—

"Empress?"

Visions of past events flashed before her eyes... fierce fighting, galloping horses, roaming the world with a sword...

But as she was lost in thought,

Tuoba Yong suddenly roared out:

"Fire Dragon Order!"

A mighty wall of fire surged towards Xie Daoyun.

Tuoba Yong's killing intent was clear; after all, the Ice God was a subordinate of the Dragon Emperor... Killing her would surely earn him great merit!

How could he give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Boom!

The cold air was dispelled by the heatwave!

"Such a powerful Heaven Rank Magic Artifact!"

"Sister Daoyun, be careful!"

A sky full of flames rushed towards Xie Daoyun.

Xie Daoyun raised her sword—

"Eh? Where is the Inner Essence?"

Seeing this, Tuoba Yong laughed and said, "You have always underestimated the power of a Magic Artifact! Farewell, Ice God. Remember to convey my regards to the Dragon Emperor..."

Waves of the engulfing fire spread.

Xie Daoyun, restrained by her Fire Attribute, was desperate.

At Supreme Heavenly Rank, she showed a hint of panic.

"Could it be... I will fall at the hands of this Magic Artifact?"

Boom!

Xie Daoyun was flung backward by the formidable force.

Puff.

She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Senior!"

"Ice God!"

"Sister Daoyun!"

The Fang Family members turned pale with extreme concern. She couldn't fall; if she did, they would all die!

At this critical moment,

suddenly, a gust of wind blew in!

"Sorry, I've returned late..."
