Under Jeremiah's solemn gaze, Chen Xing tightened her grip on the Demon Blade.
Instantly, fierce crimson flames spread from the blade of the Demon Blade to cover her entire body, condensing into a burning, splendid 'Flame Feather Robe' around her.
Every 'feather' on this Flame Feather Robe exuded an aura of total destruction, causing the temperature inside the ice prison to instantly spike.
Then, Chen Xing silently raised the Demon Blade and slashed towards the ice prison before her.
There were no complex techniques in this strike; she had simply concentrated the Blood Flame within her body to the extreme.
The moment the crimson blade light struck the ice prison, the solid ice wall shattered like glass, scattering countless ice fragments which instantly evaporated in the flames.
But a surprising sight appeared.
The shattered ice crystals were seen re-condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cracks on the ice prison walls quickly healed.
In the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state, as if the previous attack had never happened.
In response, Chen Xing showed a look of surprise, and then swung her blade again.
One slash, two slashes, three slashes...
The crimson blade light rained down on the ice prison wall, shattering the ice wall each time, yet each time the ice wall rapidly repaired itself, as if possessing infinite regeneration.
The balance pattern inside the ice prison flashed brighter and brighter, accelerating the rate at which it drew in star energy. Although the star energy within Chen Xing was still plentiful, she could feel a trace of constraint and stagnation.
Seeing this scene, the dimensional viewers on Site 13 also grew curious.
They didn't understand what Jeremiah had done, as not long ago, he had been completely suppressed by Chen Xing.
Now, he seemed to have genuinely trapped Chen Xing.
[Name: Giant Ice Prison]
[Effect: The prisoner must await the opening of 'Judgment.' If the final judgment rules innocent, the caster will suffer backlash.]
[Commentary: 'The execution of justice requires procedure, and waiting... is part of that procedure.' —Jeremiah]
'What did Jeremiah do? Why is Xing suddenly trapped?'
'I don't know, but I feel it must be related to his Star Source.'
'I guess the power that condensed this ice prison isn't purely ice-attributed.'
'I feel like Jeremiah has gone all out this time; he's ignoring his wounds just to buy time...'
'If the battle between NO.2 and NO.7 is this exaggerated, I can't imagine what it would be like if Tendo, the NO.1, went all out.'
Just as Chen Xing was confined in the 'Giant Ice Prison,' the scene switched to Chen Kong and the others.
After leaving the corridor, Chen Kong and his group found themselves in a huge circular prison area.
In the center of this area stood a peculiar profound ice cage. Isabel was curled up inside, her golden hair clinging messily to her pale cheeks, and her eyes seemed distant, clearly having been imprisoned for quite some time.
Looking at the haggard Isabel not far away, Chen Kong was about to rush forward to rescue her.
However, after only a few steps, he stopped.
Because flanking Isabel, the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers slowly emerged.
Seeing these tall and short twin brothers, the dimensional viewers on Site 13 instantly found it amusing.
'Yo, aren't these the Clown Brothers?'
'The two guys who were kicked aside by Tendo like they were roadside trash—were they hiding here?'
'To be fair, these two brothers are quite fierce; they just chose the wrong opponent back then.'
Although the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers' performance against Tendo was comical, failing to cause Tendo any substantial trouble, things were different when facing Chen Kong and his team.
After all, they were genuinely Rank 3 Star Messengers.
Furthermore, they were among the few who could employ a Fusion Domain.
No matter how you looked at it, they were not opponents Chen Kong and the others could easily challenge.
Chen Kong and his team were equally aware of this fact.
Just the act of the two figures standing there caused them intense pressure.
"Kong, be careful."
Liu Ma shed his usual chatter and became extremely serious.
Chen Kong nodded.
With Chen Xing now 'stalled' by Jeremiah, they only had themselves to rely on.
And with things having progressed this far, there was no way they would stop now.
After all, Isabel was now only a single step away from them.
"Go!"
Driven by the strong will to save their companion, Chen Kong and the others rushed towards the Shuang Hang and Shuang Yuan brothers without hesitation.
In response, the Shuang Hang and Shuang Yuan brothers merely raised their hands calmly.
A bone-chilling cold instantly spread, and the floor of the prison area began to freeze rapidly. A tough battle was already beginning.
[Seaside Concert Hall, Aurora Aria]
Unlike the tense atmosphere in the underground base, the seaside concert hall was bustling with excitement as the concert officially opened.
A massive influx of fans poured into the concert hall, holding light boards imprinted with 'Liuli Little Fairy,' creating a sea of pink light.
Amidst the chorus of cheers from the fans, the stage lights suddenly came on, and the spotlight fell on the center.
The next second, Jing Liuli, wearing a pale purple performance outfit, appeared in the exact center of the stage.
She waved to the audience, and her sweet voice traveled throughout the entire concert hall through the microphone.
"Hello everyone! I'm Jing Liuli! I hope to bring joy to everyone at tonight's concert!"
Cheers erupted again as fans waved their light boards and shouted Jing Liuli's name.
Liuli took a deep breath, then picked up the microphone in front of her.
As the familiar melody slowly began, she closed her eyes and poured her heart into the performance.
Her sweet singing flowed like water, pushing the atmosphere to a climax!
Hearing the singing from overhead, Tendo, who was directly below the stage, finally broke out of his 'old man style' leisure, sitting up straight from his wicker lounge chair and stretching.
Then, he looked up and towards the distance, a playful smile playing on his lips.
A mysterious figure had appeared in the shadows not far away.
The person was wearing a black robe, an ice mask covering their face, and faintly emitted a chilling aura.
This person was none other than the Elder of the Star Frost Faction, Shuang Mo Bing.
Tendo watched the figure, twirling a silver coin between his fingers, and said with a smile, "For this concert, your Star Frost Faction really spared no expense."
"Is it worth having a Cataclysm-level powerhouse suppress their strength to secretly infiltrate this place?"
Shuang Mo Bing's face showed no change, and his voice was calm as he replied, "It is our duty to spread the gospel of the Frost God throughout the world."
Upon hearing this, Tendo stood up, stopped spinning the coin in his hand, and revealed a look of ridicule.
"A God? A guy with only power but no self-concept can hardly be called a 'God'."
