--- Chapter 434 ---
Ye Ziyun's cultivation rapidly rose to the Limit Douluo realm as if her very limit got shattered. Her aura also grew colder and more intense with each breath, freezing the air around her.
"This woman, she is getting stronger at an alarming rate," said the Demon Mountain Emperor. "And the Demon Sword Emperor just died like that, how terrible."
"What are you mumbling about, Mountain Emperor!" The newly appearing Demon Emperor shouted at him. "Attack that human female before she can master her newfound power."
"That's only our chance of victory!"
"Hmph, if you want to die, then please attack first." The Demon Mountain Emperor glanced coldly at the Demon Flower Emperor, a mid-rank Demon Emperor in the Small Demon Grotto Plane, who had risen from a low rank rapidly in just a mere ten years.
The Demon Flower Emperor's form is that of a beautiful woman, wearing a bright pink-red dress, but all that was a facade. This appearance is merely a layer of skin, hiding a grotesque, flower-shaped parasite inside.
The Demon Flower Emperor frowned at the Demon Mountain Emperor and snorted, "Just tell me if you're a coward."
"Fine, I will attack her first." As the Demon Flower Emperor said that, she spread her fair hand and sent out countless small spore-like flower seeds airborne over the Glory City.
"Flower Demons, Thousand Rain of Bees!"
The seeds grew at a visible rate, covering the Glory City in their strange roots and tendrils.
Then, the Demon Flower Emperor clenched her hand tight and generated spikes from the roots and tendrils, injuring the Divine Warriors and the remaining Evil Spirit Masters in the city.
What's strange is that the 'injuries' inflicted by these spikes couldn't get mended, and those injured continue to bleed, painting some areas of the city dark red.
It was horrible for the Divine Warrior, but not for the Evil Spirit Masters, as they didn't care about bleeding.
Evil Spirit Masters have tasted blood, experienced drowning in one, and exchanged life and death in their lives.
Even with losing limbs, Evil Spirit Masters can still be a dangerous foe to fight.
Not to mention, with their current undead-like physique, killing them is just as difficult as killing cockroaches.
A bomb-like cockroach, that is.
Each Evil Spirit Master sent to the Glory City tonight is actually, well, if you put it bluntly, a kamikaze attack that the Slaughter God prepared using a bit of his Divine Force infused into them and some extra assurance.
And for Slaughter God, that was already a fitting role for these disgusting mortals. They should be happy to accept his divine grace in this mission of getting the Ice God's Heart.
Sure enough, as the Evil Spirit Masters sustained more and more damage from the Demon Flower Emperor, they started releasing this crimson yet bloody aura.
"AAAAAAAAAARRGGGHHH!!" An Evil Spirit Master roared painfully at the sky as he turned into a blinding crimson light, swallowing everything near him.
Of course, Ye Ziyun couldn't possibly allow it to happen. She summoned her martial soul and activated the True Martial Soul Avatar.
At this very moment, Ye Ziyun was the most brilliant star. Surrounded by nine snowy-white halos that glimmer with gold radiance. She held an icy longsword in her right hand, and a pale ice mirror in the other.
"Ice Age, Endless Snowstorm." Before many explosions triggered by the Evil Spirit Masters could happen, Ye Ziyun had already expanded her own domain once again.
An extremely low temperature not only encased the Glory City in snow and frost, but also sealed the residents from dangers.
Even though Ye Ziyun couldn't heal with her powers, a faint layer of ice appeared on each injured Divine Warrior, preventing them from bleeding out even more.
Demon Flower Emperor smiled when facing Ye Ziyun, "The ice element, huh? I hate it in my place or here."
"Then, die, encased in ice. I will prepare a good coffin for you." Ye Ziyun replied coldly.
"Hehe, is that a threat?" The Demon Flower Emperor giggled.
"Well, then, we can't have that here..."
As soon as the Demon Flower Emperor finished those words, Ye Ziyun flashed to her side with a swung sword.
The Demon Flower Emperor snapped her fingers, "Bloom, thorny rose."
A small crimson rose appeared between Ye Ziyun and hers, causing the air to shift. Ye Ziyun appeared in the Demon Flower Emperor's position, and the latter appeared in Ye Ziyun's.
They have exchanged positions!
However, what greeted Ye Ziyun was a series of thorny clumps. She then suffered some cuts on her body, which weren't enough to stop her.
"Freeze..." Before the thorns could do any more damage, the extreme chill coming from Ye Ziyun's body froze them all, and she shattered them into ice particles.
Ye Ziyun glanced at the Demon Flower Emperor indifferently, lowering the temperature even more so that even spatial displacement like earlier would be difficult to do.
The Demon Flower Emperor noticed this and clicked her tongue, "She is annoying."
"Well, you left me with no choice."
"This..." The Demon Mountain Emperor noticed something was wrong with the Demon Flower Emperor's aura.
"Her aura changed..." Ye Ziyun also caught the abrupt shift in the Demon Flower Emperor and gave her a wary stare.
The air around the Demon Flower Emperor twisted, and the freezing space rapidly thawed, revealing an eerie jet-black aura of death that Han Yuan could recognize from a mile away.
...
"That is..." White-Eyed Phoenix Lord narrowed her eyes. "A domain?"
"Why does this domain feel off?" added the Jade Phoenix Lord.
"Although I know that domain is rare, this one feels given by others, and truly part of that demon fellow?"
"Because it wasn't hers to begin with." Han Yuan commented lightly, fully expecting this to happen. After all, he was quite accustomed to Asura God's scheme, so even a slight hint was enough to tip him off.
"That is Slaughter God's Domain."
"It also has another name, Deathgod's Domain."
"This domain can only be obtained by winning through 100 consecutive matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena of Slaughter City."
"Additionally, one must traverse the Hell Road where their sanity is tested to see if their will is strong enough to withstand the will-corroding killing intent they had grown from surviving the city."
"However, it was clear that this 'Demon Emperor' didn't go through those trials."
"She most likely got this domain from the Slaughter God directly, which helps her ground the playing field after the past Ye Ziyun sacrificed her path to godhood to obtain more power."
"Both are Quasi-God Entities who wielded the power of gods."
"But Ye Ziyun doesn't have enough numbers to play this game."
"I was going to fail again, huh? As expected." The current Ye Ziyun put on a calm look. "Given the situation, my only choice is to share the Ice God's Heart with others."
"The shared 'burden' that cursed others."
"City Lord, I mean, Ziyun..." The other Heavenly Snow Maiden couldn't help but react emotionally. "We don't regret our decision to carry your burden."
"We know we can't reach your level. But even if one of us, or all of us, can lighten your 'shoulder' slightly, we are more than willing to sacrifice ourselves."
"Because you're our... Leader."
"And more importantly, our friend."
Ye Ziyun was stunned upon hearing their responses. She looked at their face one by one and then sighed, "Leader..."
"Friend..."
"I am not worthy of such a title."
"I am merely a failure."
"Raise your head, City Lord Ye." Unexpectedly, a calm voice shattered Ye Ziyun's melancholic atmosphere.
Ye Ziyun looked up and saw Han Yuan standing facing her, stretching his firm hand at her. Although they just met today, she could feel the radiance of confidence coming from this young man.
"This is not over yet." Han Yuan smiled faintly.
"Every painful story deserves a good ending."
"So, let's change your 'future' for once and all!"
