Chapter 343: Qian Daoliu's Full Power
As Ning Bei's voice fell, the Eternal Ice Field, which had covered several kilometers, suddenly shrank to a hundred-meter range. The space around the two of them instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Qian Daoliu, who had been moving at high speed, slowly came to a stop just a few dozen meters in front of Ning Bei. The old man now had a look of terror on his face, as if he was trying to understand what was happening.
Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment. His soul power fluctuations completely vanished, and even the golden feathers that had been fluttering in the sky earlier now turned into a sky full of ice flowers, frozen in mid-air.
"Can you really use ice to this extent?"
Qian Daoliu opened his mouth to praise Ning Bei's strength, but when he tried to speak, no sound came out. This sent a chill down his spine. Ning Bei had essentially created a space completely controlled by him. In his mind, this was something only gods could achieve, and yet now, his grandson-in-law had done it as a mere mortal.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Why suddenly stop moving?"
The little angel had never seen her man use this move and was puzzled as to why her grandfather, who had just gained a slight advantage, had suddenly ceased his attack.
Bibi Dong, watching Ning Bei, couldn't help but be impressed, thinking to herself that this little guy was terrifying. She then spoke up, explaining to those around.
"It's not that he doesn't want to fight, it's that he can't. Now, that kid is the only master of this space. Any being within this domain will be under his control."
"What? Then..."
The little angel's beautiful eyes went wide in shock. She was about to say something but caught Bibi Dong's gaze. She quickly turned her head, not daring to speak further.
The other elders were equally stunned, realizing that if Ning Bei had used this technique during his fight with them, perhaps even Qian Renxue wouldn't have needed to intervene for an easy victory.
"Young people are truly formidable."
"Indeed, Second Brother. This kid is just too terrifying."
They had long since lost count of how many times they had been in awe of Ning Bei's strength and terrifying abilities. Every time, he shattered their preconceived limits, showing them that his potential was far from tapped out.
The onlookers were all shocked, but no one more so than Qian Daoliu, who looked at Ning Bei slowly floating toward him, unaffected by the domain. Qian Daoliu began his final resistance.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Angel's Descent."
The only red soul ring on Qian Daoliu's body lit up, and the snow-white space around them trembled. Ning Bei's vigilance rose as he sensed the change. Poseidon's ninth soul ring had been able to forcibly break through his Mo Ke Bo Te Mo, although relying on the Sea God's power was a bit of a shortcut. But success was success, and Ning Bei didn't need any excuses for his previous defeat. He was curious to see if the mighty Qian Daoliu had any means to break free from this attack.
With the activation of Qian Daoliu's ninth soul skill, a massive angelic entity appeared in the space, nearly surpassing the range of Ning Bei's domain.
Feeling the pressure from the angel's aura, which had tripled in strength, Ning Bei couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain. If this was all Qian Daoliu had, it seemed there was a huge difference between him and Poseidon. Or perhaps it was that Poseidon was one of the three peerless Douluo, truly in a class of his own?
Luckily, Qian Daoliu's ninth soul skill wasn't just a simple boost to his attributes. The golden feathers that had been frozen in the sky shattered and turned into a myriad of small angels that began to struggle against Ning Bei's domain.
"Ninth Soul Skill: All Beings' Prayers."
Much like Poseidon, Qian Daoliu's ninth soul ring also had two soul skills. The massive angel entity was one, allowing him to briefly regain control of his body. The small angels in the sky were the second, and with the activation of the second skill, their aura surged, breaking the limits of Mo Ke Bo Te Mo and causing Ning Bei to be slightly surprised.
Feeling the soul power within these angels expanding, Ning Bei had a pretty good guess as to what Qian Daoliu was planning next.
"Self-destruct? Seems like a wide-range, high-damage soul skill, but there's no way he can turn the tide with this."
"Third Soul Skill, Modified: Imperial Sword, Ice Extreme Unmatched!"
With the third orange soul ring of the Ice Empress glowing, a thousand-meter-long ice sword appeared above them. With a forceful press of Ning Bei's hands, the massive ice sword shattered, transforming into countless smaller ice swords that began to dance throughout the space.
The small angels, which had surrounded Ning Bei, were shattered in mid-air, each explosion causing a violent burst of energy. This confirmed that Ning Bei's guess was correct.
The entire space was filled with endless ice mist and ice shards. Because of Ning Bei's domain, there was not a single sound of explosion, and the onlookers, including the elders and Qian Renxue, only saw a beautiful fireworks show unfolding before them.
Sensing that his control over his body was slowly returning, Qian Daoliu smiled slightly. He hadn't intended to rely on this soul skill to defeat Ning Bei. His real goal was to break through Mo Ke Bo Te Mo from the inside out.
Of course, Ning Bei had already anticipated this, and besides eliminating the small angels in the air, the Imperial Sword had spread countless ice crystals throughout the valley, setting up the foundation for Ning Bei's next move.
"Grandpa Qian, good technique. But how will you respond to this next move?"
"Light Aurora: Diamond Starlight!"
Qian Daoliu, who had initially intended to rely on his speed to continue evading Ning Bei after breaking the domain, immediately became alert after hearing Ning Bei's words. He saw the glowing line emitted from Ning Bei's right leg, which wasn't aimed directly at him.
Following the beam of light, Qian Daoliu noticed that the beam had refracted mid-air, changing direction at a faster speed. This happened tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of times in just one second, and the number of beams multiplied so much that it became impossible to count, and their power was more than a thousand times greater than when they were first launched.
Finally, the entire space was covered by a golden net, trapping both of them inside. Qian Daoliu was struck over a thousand times by the beams in the brief moment of hesitation.
Panicked, he quickly entered his Shedding Wings state, but it didn't last long, and Ning Bei's attack showed no signs of stopping.
"Third Soul Skill: Angel's Protection."
The reappearing Qian Daoliu swung his hand in front of him, forming a golden shield. The beams hit the shield like a torrential downpour, splashing waves in every direction.
Qian Daoliu's face gradually turned red, clearly overwhelmed by the output of his soul power. Ning Bei's technique, which constantly refracted light in small ranges to maximize the attack power and number of beams, was truly impossible to defend against.
