Qin Tian faces off against Unol, a powerful member of the Beastman Empire's Eternal Ice Silk Clan. Despite Unol's enhanced ice silk attacks and released power, Qin Tian expertly defends with a lightning shield and his Black Frost Blade. He then unleashes his own Demon King's Wings, matching Unol's speed and launching a surprise attack that narrowly misses, forcing Unol to take refuge in an ice cocoon.

High above, the violent winds howled as Qin Tian and Unol faced each other, the intense energy fluctuations around them causing the clouds to writhe in chaos.

Unol’s gaze remained fixed upon Qin Tian’s perpetually composed and unreadable face, his own heart burning with an even fiercer rage. After all, as a direct descendant of the Eternal Ice Silk clan and the pride of the Beastman Empire, when had he ever endured such profound humiliation? He absolutely refused to be pushed into such a desperate state by a mere human “commoner”! A frigid light intensified within Unol’s eyes, and the icy blue energy enveloping him suddenly turned tempestuous as he unleashed his ultimate innate talent – the Celestial Silk Transformation! Visible modifications began to proliferate rapidly across his body. His once well-proportioned physique expanded at an alarming rate, becoming bloated and immense. The human-like face rapidly swelled and deformed, its features contorting into a single mass. Two slender, silver antennae abruptly emerged from the crown of his head, quivering slightly. The crystalline butterfly wings adorning his back swelled to several times their original size, and the chilling air flowing through their veins seemed to freeze the very void. At this moment, he bore a striking resemblance to a colossal, plump silkworm adorned with wings! "Perish!" Unol bellowed, his body’s pores suddenly gaping open. Thousands of ice silk threads descended like a celestial river, carrying the might to rend the heavens as they swept towards Qin Tian. The threads were so dense they formed a gigantic net that obscured the sun. Where they passed, even space seemed to freeze, emitting a crisp sound under immense pressure. Confronting this world-shattering offensive, Qin Tian’s gaze sharpened, and he advanced rather than retreated. "Chaotic Thunder Domain, activate!" A deep shout echoed as purple-gold lightning violently erupted around him, coalescing into a thunderous domain spanning dozens of feet. Lightning, like ferocious dragons, surged and danced wildly, filling the space with terrifying destructive power. Simultaneously, Qin Tian’s grip tightened on the Black Frost Blade. With a mere thought, a shadowy figure of a warrior clad in stern black armor materialized upon the blade. This was the fully awakened blade soul of Black Frost, empowered by the might of the Martial Immortal! With the blade soul’s manifestation, an intensely cold frost aura immediately spread, seamlessly merging with the Chaotic Thunder Domain. The blade soul gestured, and countless strands of solidified frost sword qi materialized from the ether, soaring and weaving within the thunderous domain. They intertwined with the fierce lightning and frigid sword qi, forging an impenetrable barrier of offense and defense. Those all-encompassing ice silk threads, upon breaching the thunder domain, were instantly shredded into fragments by the crisscrossing frost sword qi. The white debris fell like snowflakes, unable to even graze the hem of Qin Tian’s clothing, annihilated by the combined force of the Chaotic Thunder Domain and the Frost Sword Domain, leaving not even a ripple in their wake. Witnessing his ultimate move effortlessly neutralized, a flicker of malevolence crossed Unol’s eyes. He realized that ranged attacks were futile against Qin Tian; victory could only be achieved through close-quarters combat! With a swift mental command, the ice silk surrounding Unol ceased its spray. Instead, it began to furiously entwine around his bloated form in concentric circles. The silk layered upon itself, continuously compressing and hardening. The initially massive physique rapidly elongated, shedding its bloated appearance and transforming into angular, crystalline battle armor. This armor encased his entire body, gleaming with a cold brilliance. His butterfly wings remained spread on his back, and at this moment, he bore no resemblance to a plump silkworm but instead appeared as a valiant warrior encased in icy armor! Qin Tian’s brow twitched slightly at this sight, a hint of surprise surfacing in his eyes. He hadn’t anticipated that the battle transformation of the Eternal Ice Silk clan possessed such versatility. Buzz~ Unol’s ice crystal butterfly wings suddenly vibrated. His form became a streak of lightning slicing through the sky, hurtling towards Qin Tian with the momentum of thunderous might. The battle armor shrieked as it scraped against the air, the frigid aura surrounding him nearly extinguishing the thunder domain. Observing this, a cold glint appeared in Qin Tian’s eyes. Perhaps Unol had vanquished many formidable adversaries relying on this melee form, but in his presence, choosing close combat was an act of utter self-destruction! "Excellent! Let us clash!" Qin Tian declared in a low voice. The Black Frost Blade in his hand crackled with violet lightning, which poured entirely into the blade. As the Demon King’s Wings unfurled, he transformed into a black meteor, charging directly at Unol! Down below, every spectator held their breath. Two figures, one clad in blue and the other in black, like two colliding celestial bodies, rapidly converged upon each other.

The stream of time appeared to cease, as both the soldiers at Ice Extreme Pass and the beastmen accompanying Unol clenched their fists, their hearts pounding, and their gazes locked onto the heavens above.

Bang—!

A profoundly muted roar, akin to a celestial body impacting a planet, erupted as the two figures violently clashed.

There was no cataclysmic energy detonation as anticipated, nor any expansive shockwave. Instead, the two figures simply crossed paths, like shooting stars, propelled dozens of meters forward before halting their momentum in mid-air.

They stood back-to-back, their movements arrested, neither turning their heads, not even a flicker of extraneous motion betrayed them.

The surroundings plunged into an unnerving hush.

A few moments passed.

"Did... did we get a victor?"

Someone's voice quivered as they voiced the question, shattering the silence.

"Who actually triumphed?!"

Murmurs cascaded like an incoming tide. From the beastman ranks, an Icefield Snow Wolf Beastman stiffly inclined his head and growled, "His Highness Unol must have won! Our Prince possesses royal blood; how could a mere human devoid of Holy Blood possibly contend?"

Among the human contingent, Xiong, Terreda, and the others wore expressions of unwavering confidence. Li Qi, observing the anxious soldiers surrounding him, spoke with tranquil assurance, "Have no worries, the boss will not fall.

Despite the lingering tension among the soldiers, witnessing the composed demeanor of Li Qi and his companions, their apprehension began to subside.
