Huang Fu roared, his voice laced with disbelief and fury, "Damn it! The Extreme Cold Three Thousand Flames are in your hands?!"
The Imperial Court powerhouses stared, aghast, at the Exotic Flame in Ji Fuyao's hand. They had spent half a month frantically searching for the Extreme Cold Three Thousand Flames, only for Ji Fuyao to have snatched it! No wonder the Fire Alliance hadn't dared to claim it. They had even performed Soul Searches on three King Generals of the Fire Alliance, whom they'd killed recently, and found no trace of the flame. The entire Imperial Court had been baffled. Who had been bold enough to take it?
"Excellent! Truly excellent!" Huang Fu burst into laughter, his voice echoing with twisted glee. "Today, not only will I kill you, but I'll also seize the Extreme Cold Three Thousand Flames and that other Exotic Flame! Thank you for delivering such a massive merit to me!"
The moment his words fell, a thunderous roar erupted! Over a dozen Quasi-Dao Supremes surged forward, encircling Ji Fuyao. But almost instantly, screams of agony pierced the air. Huang Fu spun around, his eyes widening in disbelief. Ji Fuyao, wielding two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires, radiated an aura of terrifying power. The sheer Sea of Spirit Fire swirling around her was enough to force back even Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes. They couldn't even engage her in combat; the overwhelming presence of her combined spirit fires rendered them utterly incapable of fighting. In the end, only Huang Fu and the remaining four Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes stood their ground.
Huang Fu's face turned frigid. With a flick of his sleeve, he commanded, "Go! Annihilate Ji Fuyao's subordinates!" The remaining Quasi-Dao Supremes immediately turned, charging towards the Imperial Dragon Guard. But in that very instant, Ji Fuyao made her move.
Her crystalline jade palm pulsed with Spirit Fire power, simultaneously unleashing the might of the Grand Dao Scripture and the Heaven-Burning Art, further amplified by her two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires. Her combined attack power now stood infinitely close to that of a true Supreme! Boom! Her form flickered like a ghost, striking directly at one of the Grey-robed Old Men. The Grey-robed Old Man hastily conjured an ancient Umbrella Sword, its surface rippling with sword qi, attempting to block Ji Fuyao's strike. But it was useless! Ji Fuyao's power had long transcended theirs, imbued with potent Rule Power that instantly annihilated the sword qi. The ancient Umbrella Sword unfurled above the Grey-robed Old Man's head, but Ji Fuyao's jade palm simply reached out, grasping the Umbrella Sword. The combined might of her two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires began to melt it instantly. "How is this possible?!" the Grey-robed Old Man shrieked in disbelief. The next moment, the entire Umbrella Sword was encased in ice, its internal Ancestor Dao Patterns furiously scorched and refined by the Eight Desolations Annihilation Flame! Whoosh! The Grey-robed Old Man tried to retreat, but the Spirit Fire power had already spread. His flesh began to freeze, starting with his arm, then his chest, until his entire body was a solid block of ice. The two spirit fires simultaneously refined his physical body and Divine Soul! Ji Fuyao's jade hand gently swayed, a profound force piercing through the ice sculpture. "Die!" Crack! Crack! The Grey-robed Old Man's body shattered into countless ice shards, raining down from the sky! An instant kill!
Witnessing this, Huang Fu and his remaining commanders were utterly stunned. "How is this possible?!" they thought. Even without that terrifying spear, Ji Fuyao, wielding two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires, was still this formidable! And she was fighting above her realm, instant killing a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! Huang Fu's face twisted into an ugly sneer. "Why do you possess the Grand Dao Scripture? You're not from the Northern Plains! You're from the Grand Dao Sect!" Everyone present was aghast. Someone from the Southern Wilds? The Domain Gates hadn't opened; how had Ji Fuyao even reached the Northern Plains? The more they thought about it, the more terrifying the implications became. If Ji Fuyao was already this powerful, then the person backing her must be defying the heavens! The tide of battle had completely turned.
Huang Fu's face was pale. "A miscalculation," he muttered, "I should have unleashed the Ancestral Artifact against her from the start!" Without the Ancestral Artifact in hand, he was no match for Ji Fuyao. He immediately began to summon it, turning to the two remaining Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes beside him. Gritting his teeth, he ordered, "Protect me! I'll summon the Ancestral Artifact!" "Understood," the two instantly positioned themselves in front of Huang Fu.
But in the very next moment, screams erupted from the distant Ice Flame Army battlefield. "General Huang Fu, it's bad!" "The Ancestral Artifact is shattering!" The words struck like thunder, leaving everyone stunned. Huang Fu's divine sense shot towards the Ancient Barren Broken Sword. Ji Fuyao's terrifying spear was locked in a fierce confrontation with it, but the Ancient Barren Broken Sword was being utterly crushed. The spear, radiating a dominant Dao and Stance that lorded over all creation, completely overwhelmed the Ancestral Artifact. The Ancestor Dao Patterns inscribed upon it flickered and began to extinguish. It was being utterly suppressed! Countless cracks spiderwebbed across the broken sword! Crack! Crack! It began to shatter! Huang Fu was utterly dumbfounded. "How is this possible?!" The Ancestral Artifact was a paramount treasure of the Imperial Court, the strongest spirit weapon in the Northern Plains! How could it be shattered by another artifact? At this moment, the broken sword was completely suppressed, making it impossible for him to recall. Furthermore, Ji Fuyao's spear had seized the very Stance of that entire region, suppressing the Ice Flame Army, the Black Flame Army, and all their military divisions. Even the few Quasi-Dao Supremes who had gone to assist were being suppressed! A single spirit weapon was like a towering mountain, crushing the entire battlefield! At this moment, the Imperial Dragon Guard was unleashing pure carnage! Their enemies were suppressed, allowing them to fight above their realm! Wang Man, wielding his Blood Axe, pulled with all his might, dragging a High-star Great Emperor towards him. With a powerful swing, he spun his Blood Axe, instantly cleaving the High-star Great Emperor in half! Blood splattered everywhere! He ripped off his shirt, fighting bare-chested, covered in gore, and roared, "Completely insane!" The entire Imperial Dragon Guard legion was engaged in a full-blown slaughter!
Witnessing this, Huang Fu's body trembled uncontrollably. Ji Fuyao was undeniably the most terrifying enemy the Northern Plains Imperial Court had ever encountered in its history! Even more terrifying than the legendary Huang Chao Supreme, who had never managed to defeat an Ancestral Artifact! Just then, Ji Fuyao arrived, a blur of motion! Whoosh! Whoosh! Two Spirit Fire Divine Radiances, carrying a heaven-reaching momentum and flowing with Dao and Rhyme, instantly enveloped the two powerhouses shielding Huang Fu. Even as they desperately unleashed their spirit weapons, they couldn't block it! Ji Fuyao's power had far surpassed their limits! In an instant, both men were transformed into ice sculptures! Seeing this, Huang Fu's face contorted into a desperate, ferocious snarl. "Don't kill me! I am one of the Imperial Capital's Five Tiger Generals! If I die, Her Majesty the Empress will personally hunt you down!" Ji Fuyao remained expressionless. Her two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires shot directly towards Huang Fu. Huang Fu turned to flee, the divine radiance already tearing through the fabric of space behind him. But it was useless! Whoosh! The two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires completely engulfed him, igniting his body. "Aaaargh! Aaaaargh! Aaaaargh!" Huang Fu shrieked, his cries utterly wretched, echoing across the battlefield.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Ice Flame Army and Black Flame Army watched this scene in utter shock. Even a powerhouse like Huang Fu couldn't escape death! Terror gripped every single face. Thud! Thud! The remaining soldiers of the Ice Flame Army and Black Flame Army all dropped to their knees. "We are willing to surrender to Fuyao Empress!"
