Chapter 163: Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms VS Snow Empress Three Absolutes
On the other side, the Snow Empress also began to release her own power—an aura of extreme ice spread from her body.
Wherever the ice-blue soul power spread, the temperature suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees. The ground was already frozen solid, and even ice walls appeared in the void.
Not only that, a blizzard began to fall from the sky. A blizzard spanning ten thousand meters instantly enveloped the battlefield, suppressing the soul power within Lin Chen and the golden dragon above.
At this moment, the Snow Empress's terrifying eight-hundred-thousand-year cultivation was fully revealed.
In the distance, after seeing the Snow Empress make her move, the Ice Empress showed excitement in her eyes and said to the other women beside her:
"This is one of Snow Empress Three Absolutes; its domain skill: Empress's Chill, Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice."
"This ice-and-snow domain can suppress the opponent's soul power circulation, forcibly reduce speed by 30%, add continuous extreme frost damage, and lock down evasion space—leaving the opponent nowhere to escape."
As soon as the Ice Empress finished speaking, Lin Chen and the golden dragon on the battlefield both felt the suppression from the ice and snow.
However, this domain skill could be broken by both Lin Chen and the golden dragon.
Lin Chen circulated the Nine Yang Divine Skill within his body. Eight blazing suns appeared internally, and the snowflakes outside that carried extreme icy power did not affect him whatsoever.
As for the golden dragon in the sky, its method was simple and direct. It activated the power of its bloodline, causing dragon blood to boil, and its hundred-meter-long body radiated dazzling golden brilliance.
When Lin Chen and the golden dragon revealed this move and broke her Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice, the Snow Empress felt a slight sense of astonishment.
At this moment, she already regarded Lin Chen as a qualified opponent, because he might still have other means that could trouble even her.
The next moment.
The Snow Empress mobilized the extreme cold soul power around her, and a massive ice-and-snow giant palm appeared above Lin Chen.
This battle between her and Lin Chen was only a spar, so there was no need to use her trump card right from the start.
Therefore, the giant icy palm above was merely a normal strike from the Snow Empress, but even this strike was already formidable. Even a rank ninety-eight peak Super Douluo would be heavily injured even if they went all out.
With her eight-hundred-thousand-year cultivation, the Snow Empress had already reached the level of a quasi-god. Even a casual strike was not something a soul master below Ultimate Douluo could withstand head-on.
Facing the giant palm swung by the Snow Empress, the seventh soul ring on Lin Chen lit up. The soul power around the golden dragon violently surged, and its golden dragon claws shone with even more brilliant golden light.
At the same time, Lin Chen also completed his dragon transformation. Two dragon horns grew from his head, a dragon tail appeared behind him, and his body was covered in golden dragon scales. His right arm had already transformed into the Light Dragon King Claw.
But for his left arm, Lin Chen did not choose to transform it into a dragon claw. He had his own plan and only covered it with golden dragon scales.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body!"
"Sixth Soul Skill: Dragon King Claw!"
Lin Chen shouted twice. With a wave of his right hand toward the void, a massive golden dragon claw appeared above him.
Lin Chen and the golden dragon both unleashed the Dragon King Claw at the same time. Two dragon king claws struck together, colliding with the Snow Empress's icy giant palm above.
The ultimate clash of light and ice erupted at this moment. Facing the combined Dragon King Claw attacks of Lin Chen and the golden dragon, the Snow Empress's ordinary palm was quickly shattered.
This was the strength of an external martial soul. While increasing power, it could also grant double combat strength. It was simply too satisfying.
The women beside the battlefield couldn't help but feel amazed. Lin Chen's martial soul was truly unique. As long as he became stronger, he could gain double combat power.
On the battlefield, after seeing Lin Chen easily break her palm strike, the Snow Empress decided to show her greatest sincerity in facing him.
The next moment, the ten-thousand-meter blizzard grew even more violent, and the icy soul power around the Snow Empress surged even more intensely.
Then, her figure flashed, appearing directly in front of Lin Chen. A small hand that seemed capable of freezing everything struck out.
"Empress' Palm: Snowless Glacier!"
This strike was the second of her self-created Snow Empress Three Absolutes. Once it hit, the power of extreme ice would instantly freeze the enemy's meridians, soul power, and blood, dealing devastating damage.
Seeing that the Snow Empress had finally used the Snow Empress Three Absolutes, Lin Chen's eyes were filled with excitement, and he said eagerly:
"Good, it's coming at the right time!"
"I've never used this palm before. Today, I'll test it on you, Snow Empress."
As his words fell, in just an instant, the Nine Yang soul power within Lin Chen surged wildly. He raised his left palm, which had not undergone dragon transformation and was only covered in golden dragon scales.
"Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Regret of the Dragon!"
As Lin Chen's voice fell, dragon roars echoed through the void, and a golden dragon phantom faintly coiled around his left palm.
Then, Lin Chen struck out with his left palm, colliding with the Snow Empress's Snowless Glacier in midair.
However, to the Snow Empress's surprise, her extreme cold power could not enter Lin Chen's body at all, let alone freeze his meridians, soul power, and blood.
Before long, a golden dragon phantom leaped out and charged straight at the Snow Empress, directly forcing her back and sending her retreating dozens of meters.
"What a palm technique, Lin Chen. My Snowless Glacier actually has no effect on you at all."
After being pushed back, the Snow Empress looked at Lin Chen with shock in her beautiful eyes, unable to believe the result. As the ruler of the Extreme North, she could not do anything to an eighty-three-rank Soul Douluo.
The domineering force of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms combined with the Nine Yang Divine Skill's resistance to cold rendered the Snow Empress's techniques ineffective against Lin Chen.
If the Snow Empress were not an ice-attribute soul beast, Lin Chen would not have such a strong advantage over her. It could be said that his ability to fight evenly with the eight-hundred-thousand-year Snow Empress up to this point was largely due to attribute suppression.
"Snow Empress, just luck, just luck."
Facing her praise, Lin Chen smiled and humbly replied.
The attribute suppression meant that even this ruler of the Extreme North might not be his match.
Hearing this, the Snow Empress shook her head. The icy soul power within her surged again as she looked at Lin Chen and spoke slowly:
"There is no such thing as luck. The next strike is my strongest attack. If you can still break it, then today I will truly admit defeat to you."
"Empress' Sword, Unparalleled Chill!"
This was the strongest single-target burst technique among her Snow Empress Three Absolutes, known as "the ultimate sharpness, unmatched in a single strike."
Condensing all of her extreme ice into an indestructible sword, it possessed incredible speed and piercing power. It could tear through space, sever soul skills, and defenses. This was her final trump card.
Seeing the Snow Empress unleash her strongest single-target technique, Lin Chen also responded with his utmost respect.
The next moment, the eighth soul ring on Lin Chen lit up, and the Nine Yang Divine Skill within him circulated.
The massive golden dragon claw on his right once again emitted dazzling light, while a golden dragon phantom coiled around his left arm.
"Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Regret of the Dragon!"
"Eighth Soul Skill: Dragon King Roaring Heaven Strike!"
Lin Chen shouted twice, unleashing his strongest single-target combination attack so far.
Left palm with the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms and right hand with the Dragon King Roaring Heaven Strike. The two attacks launched together, producing an effect greater than one plus one.
