"Boom!" With a loud bang, the massive Netherworld White Tiger was struck hard and sent flying, crashing through a large section of trees.
As the spirit fusion state was broken, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's disheveled figures were revealed.
Around them, their teammates from the second squad—Xie Huan Yue, Cui Yajie, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan—had already been frozen into ice sculptures.
"Huo Yuhao!" Dai Huabin struggled to his feet, a flame of rage burning in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and glared at Huo Yuhao, who was slowly approaching him.
"Dai Huabin, you've finally met your match. It's a shame this is just a simulated universe, or I'd really let you have a taste of what my teammates are capable of."
Huo Yuhao's face was twisted in a sneer. He planted a heavy foot on Dai Huabin's head, grinding it into the ground.
"Huabin!" Seeing Dai Huabin being humiliated, Zhu Lu's face was filled with fury. She struggled to get up and rescue him.
However, in the next moment, a black and red Blue Silver Vine swiftly coiled around her, hoisting her into the air.
Whether intentional or not, the vines wrapped around Zhu Lu's body, raising her arms high and accentuating her already curvaceous figure, making her look even more alluring.
"I never noticed this before, Zhu Lu, but you're quite a looker. It's a pity you chose the wrong person to follow."
Huo Yuhao reached out and hooked Zhu Lu's chin, his tone mocking, deliberately provoking Dai Huabin.
"Let her go!" Under Huo Yuhao's foot, Dai Huabin's body trembled as he roared in anger.
"Are you talking to me?" Huo Yuhao pressed down with his foot, pushing Dai Huabin's head even deeper into the ground.
"Let them go!"
Just then, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong'er, and the others arrived. Seeing this scene, even though they had no fondness for Dai Huabin, they immediately took action.
"Perfect timing. You all escaped last time, but it won't be so easy this time." Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened. A dark red gem appeared on his forehead. It looked like he was getting serious.
Although he hadn't fully mastered the power of the gem, he could already use the authority of consciousness.
The power of the Herrscher of Sentience lay in manipulating brain signals, creating illusions. The force of an attack, the effect of an injury... every detail could be made to feel real to the enemy's brain.
If the enemy's mind believed they were dead, their body would simply be a breathing husk.
As Huo Yuhao used the power of the Herrscher of Sentience, a massive Ice Jade Empress Scorpion materialized from thin air. A frigid storm surged out, instantly turning the surrounding area into an icy hell.
The pressure of a 100,000-year spirit beast was overwhelming. Wang Dong'er and the others stiffened. It wasn't just the pressure that shocked them, but also the bone-chilling cold.
Of course, Huo Yuhao couldn't truly manifest a 100,000-year spirit beast. This Ice Jade Empress Scorpion was an illusion created by the power of the Herrscher of Sentience, but it was incredibly lifelike.
As long as Wang Dong'er and the others believed this 100,000-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion was real, it could display the power of a 100,000-year spirit beast.
This was the power of the Herrscher of Sentience, the authority of consciousness.
Faced with this seemingly real 100,000-year spirit beast, Xiao Xiao and the others were filled with disbelief.
Because everything was so realistic and Huo Yuhao had changed so drastically, they didn't know his current capabilities or the abilities of the Herrscher of Sentience. They fell for it instantly.
Everyone struggled in the frigid storm, feeling suffocated by the fierce pressure of the 100,000-year spirit beast.
Just then, a golden trident mark appeared on Wang Dong'er's forehead, and a divine consciousness pressure burst forth.
The moment the golden trident mark appeared, Huo Yuhao's expression changed. The illusion of the 100,000-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion shattered on the spot. His mind was impacted, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the original Huo Yuhao, who had been sealed, took the opportunity to break the seal, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Holy Son, what's wrong?" The power of consciousness Huo Yuhao used was indiscriminate, and everyone, including his teammates from Spirit Hall, was trapped in the illusion he created.
Because of this display, they became even more accepting and respectful of Huo Yuhao. Upon seeing him injured, Yan Feng quickly asked with concern.
"I'm fine, let's go!" Huo Yuhao looked at the golden trident mark on Wang Dong'er's forehead with dread, his expression ugly.
He immediately took the Spirit Hall group and retreated before Wang Dong'er and the others could break free from the illusion.
He had suffered a great loss this time and desperately needed to find a quiet place to reinforce the seal, so he wouldn't give the original personality a chance to fight back.
So, instead of taking the opportunity to eliminate Wang Dong'er and the others, he chose to retreat.
Although the Spirit Hall group didn't understand, they had already decided to follow Huo Yuhao's lead, so they naturally had no objections.
However, their luck seemed to be bad. As they headed toward the center of the island, they ran directly into the Spirit Hall team.
The moment she saw the Spirit Hall group, Qian Renxue sensed the evil aura on Yan Feng and the others. Her face showed a look of disgust.
As a future Angel God, Qian Renxue's perception of evil spirit masters was far more acute than Ye Guyi's. If even Ye Guyi could sense a hidden evil spirit master, it was nothing for Qian Renxue.
"You bunch of filthy, disgusting people. Accept your judgment!" If it were just an evil aura, Qian Renxue wouldn't generalize. After all, she had seen evil spirits before. The Ghost Douluo's spirit could be considered a type of evil spirit. As long as they hadn't committed evil deeds, the Spirit Hall wouldn't define them as evil.
But she could clearly sense the wails of vengeful spirits and a thick, bloody stench on Yan Feng and the others. She immediately concluded that these people not only had evil spirits but had also committed numerous evil deeds.
Therefore, Qian Renxue didn't hesitate. A beautiful angel illusion appeared behind her. She raised the Angel's Holy Sword in her hand, and a huge sword of light slashed down.
Qian Renxue's attack was so decisive that Hu Liena and the others were stunned, let alone Yan Feng and the others.
Under the cover of a sacred battle song and divine light, Yan Feng and Tang Dai and the others felt their spirit energy and spirits were completely suppressed. Their true strength was less than half of what it should have been.
"Damn it, how can it be the Six-Winged Angel spirit? Isn't this clan extinct?" As an evil spirit master, Yan Feng naturally knew their absolute nemesis.
But wasn't the Angel Clan almost all wiped out? Where did this Six-Winged Angel come from?
Not only were Yan Feng and the others shocked, but even the high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall, including their leader Zhong Liwu, showed a shocked and ugly expression.
Although the Spirit Hall had researched ways to resist the counters of the light and lightning attributes, they still had no counter for the divine attribute of the Angel spirit.
Fortunately, there weren't many people left in the Angel Clan on the continent, and the Six-Winged Angel, which was an extreme counter to them, was almost nonexistent. So they weren't too worried.
But at this moment, they actually encountered a Six-Winged Angel spirit master. Zhong Liwu couldn't stay seated.
He knew how powerful the Six-Winged Angel spirit was, especially when fighting against them, the evil spirit masters. The suppression was astonishing.
Just look at Yan Feng and the others. They were by no means weak, yet they were suppressed by Qian Renxue alone.
And there was also Huo Yuhao, who was unaffected by the counter. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Hall would probably be defeated by Qian Renxue alone.
The Spirit Hall team, which should have had the strength to win the championship, was so powerless in front of Qian Renxue. This was what they called the "Ultimate God-Slayer."
In front of Qian Renxue, even a Titled Douluo-level evil spirit master would have to consider whether they could withstand a strike from the Angel's Holy Sword.
"（艹皿艹）!"
Huo Yuhao's expression was priceless.
Although Tang Ya and Yan Feng were at the same level as Qian Renxue, their attacks couldn't even get close to her.
Under the cover of the holy light, holy flames ignited on Yan Feng and Tang Ya's bodies. They could only continuously consume their spirit energy to resist.
However, when this holy light fell on Huo Yuhao's body, he didn't feel any discomfort, nor was he ignited. He didn't need to consume much spirit energy to resist.
Using his spirit, which had transformed into a Blood Eyed Crow, Huo Yuhao observed that what was ignited by the holy light was the evil aura on Yan Feng and Tang Ya's bodies. It was the evil aura they had produced by using evil methods to cultivate after devouring and killing life.
He hadn't used the evil methods of the Spirit Hall, so he naturally didn't have this aura. But Yan Feng and Tang Ya did.
Therefore, they were completely countered. Their spirit power cultivation was already not as high as Qian Renxue's, and with the counter from the Six-Winged Angel spirit, they were in a sorry state.
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth. At this point, he had to be the one to act, otherwise, their entire team would be defeated by a single woman.
"Emperor's Rage!" Huo Yuhao immediately used his trump card. A green beam of light carrying a terrifying chill shot out. Everything in its path froze as it headed straight for Qian Renxue.
Seeing this, Black Castorice swung the scythe in her hand. The void was torn, and the death dragon Bolyce extended its head and spat out a breath toward Huo Yuhao.
The purple death breath collided with the green Emperor's Rage, instantly causing a violent explosion. The power of ice and death ran rampant, leaving the surrounding hundred meters in a mess.
"Roar!" Yan Feng roared, transforming into a humanoid bone dragon and fusing with the bone dragon illusion behind him. He roared and charged toward Qian Renxue. At this moment, he had the aura of a Spirit Avatar.
"Die!" Qian Renxue's face was calm. The spirit rings on her body shone brightly, and the Holy Sword, carrying the light of the sun, slashed down fiercely.
As the golden sword light flashed, Yan Feng's expression instantly froze. A golden line slowly spread from his forehead, and his body was split in half by the sword.
Seeing Yan Feng beheaded by a single strike, Tang Dai and the others showed looks of fear. They were already suppressed by the holy light and could only use less than half of their strength. If even Yan Feng couldn't withstand one sword strike, they were completely done for this time.
"Damn it, retreat!"
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth. The illusion of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion spirit appeared behind him. The massive ice-green scorpion spat out a breath of cold air, instantly freezing the moisture in the air.
In an instant, the surrounding trees were all frozen. Qian Renxue and the others also had to divert their attention to resist the cold.
Although Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice could not threaten Qian Renxue and Black Castorice, Hu Liena and the others could not block the ultimate ice.
Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel had three attributes: divinity, light, and fire. And because it was a God-Bestowed Spirit, it was even more powerful than a normal ultimate spirit.
Although Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Empress Scorpion was powerful, it couldn't threaten her. The moment the cold air got close, it was negated by the divine fire on her body.
But on Hu Liena and the others, a layer of ice gradually covered them, threatening to freeze them completely.
