Master of Nine Stars

Rong Taotao had expected the restless Moon Leopards and Snow Lion Tigers to charge forward recklessly, but he was wrong—dead wrong!

Regardless of the intelligence of those beast-form Soul Beasts, or their ability to suppress their bloodthirsty impulses, the reality was...

At the Ice Soul Guide’s thundering commands, the Wild Beast Corps unexpectedly split into two torrents, charging out to the sides in a pincer movement to surround the Tree Castle!

Rong Taotao’s brow furrowed as he watched the unfolding situation intently through the Snowball Cat’s eyes.

He had been through countless battles—invasions, skirmishes, and breakouts.

But compared to this, everything he had experienced before was little more than child’s play!

What he was currently experiencing was a war in the truest sense of the word!

The Soul Beast Army’s vanguard split into left and right flanks, naturally exposing the main army behind them.

To everyone’s astonishment, hidden behind the massive Moon Leopards and Snow Lion Tigers was a troop of Snow Moon Snake Demons!

Snow Moon Snake Demons!

The renowned Soul Skill, Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon, came from this very species!

In an instant, countless monsters with human torsos and serpentine tails were revealed to all.

They all had human faces, and one could even distinguish between male and female, but their features were almost all ferocious and grotesque.

What was even more terrifying was their hair... It was actually a writhing mass of small, venomous snakes!

The sight was utterly horrifying!

Their hair, a coiled mass of countless tiny snakes, seemed to writhe with a life of its own. Each serpent fixed a malicious gaze upon the Snow Burning troops, flicking its forked tongue and letting out a chorus of bone-chilling HISSES.

”Close your eyes!” Fu Tiance roared.

’I thought this elite army’s strength was already pushing the absolute limit,’ Fu Tiance thought in disbelief. ’But I never imagined they could even enlist the Snow Moon Snake Demons!’

’This army’s strength... it can’t just be described as sky-high anymore. It’s pierced straight through the heavens!’

No one should ever make eye contact with a Snow Moon Snake Demon. Caught in their ”A Glimpse of Eternity,” a human Soul Martial Artist would be cruelly tortured by the demon until their mind shattered.

In fact, besides the incredibly intimidating Snow Moon Snake Demons, the Soul Beast Army included many other Spiritual-type Soul Beasts!

Take the Snow Prison Warriors, for example. As long as they got close enough to a target and activated their Snow Prison Arena, their opponent would have no way to avoid the battle and would be forcefully dragged inside.

The intimidating power of these formations was immense; a single one of them could likely destroy an entire Human Corps on its own. However, what worried Fu Tiance most wasn’t any of these squads, but a single figure.

Yes, a single person!

The Frost Beauty!

Among the leadership of the Soul Beast Army, she was the only one not standing atop a Trampling Snow Rhinoceros. Instead, the devastating Beauty sat sideways upon her mount...

Her ability to seize the mind and control the souls of all things was the greatest threat in the northern Snow Realm!

In fact, ever since the Soul Beast Army appeared, one question after another had surfaced in people’s minds.

Why was the Wild Beast Corps so disciplined, able to completely suppress its natural instincts?

Why had those normally solitary kings become pack animals?

Why were Snow Prison Warriors among the enemy ranks? How had they managed to enlist the Snow Moon Snake Demons?

Why... was the Frost Beauty—a being who should have been despised by all Snow Realm Soul Beasts, a being who struck fear into every heart—sitting peacefully among the army as one of its own?

What did this terrifying, unprecedented army truly want?

Were they going to tear down all three walls?

”I am here. We are here.” A chorus of soft voices suddenly emanated from the Tree Castle behind them.

On the gray-black cypress walls, one after another, the outlines of female faces emerged. The voices of the Bailing Tree Maidens, perfectly synchronized, soothed the Snow Burning troops.

At the same time, countless thousands of ethereal, whip-like shadows wove together before them, forming a nearly transparent wall of trees!

No Spiritual Soul Skill from any Soul Beast could possibly breach the defenses of this ethereal wall!

No matter how terrifying the Snow Moon Snake Demons’ Illusion Techniques or how deafening the Snow Prison Warriors’ roars, the Soul Power Threads, invisible to the naked eye, could not penetrate the ethereal wall.

In the face of a thousand Bailing Tree Maidens, all Spiritual Soul Techniques were instantly rendered worthless...

Although the individual voices of the Bailing Tree Maidens were gentle, when they converged and overlapped, they produced a sound so immense it made Rong Taotao’s heart pound and his blood race with excitement!

The next moment, a colossal meteor made of snow plummeted from the sky on a scale humanity had never before witnessed!

It came from the enemy Commander: the Monk Beauty!

It stood proudly atop a Trampling Snow Rhinoceros, arms spread wide as if to embrace the night sky. A strange, eerie smile touched its fine-featured face.

Fu Tiance instantly dropped to one knee, slamming a hand into the snow!

Snow Realm Soul Skill: Ice Power Like a Mountain!

In an instant, eight colossal pillars of ice erupted from the ground before their ranks, surging toward the night sky.

RUMBLE...

To everyone’s surprise, the colossal snow meteor didn’t shatter the instant it collided with the ice pillars!

Unlike every Celestial Burial Snow Meteor they had ever encountered, this one... wasn’t exploding!

It relentlessly crushed the massive ice pillars, sending shards of ice exploding in all directions, but nothing could halt the meteor’s inexorable descent!
