Uncle Yu and Wu Di fought against monstrous apparitions, destroying a kappa and a Rain-Bringing Monk with powerful attacks. However, a Flying Head and a one-eyed monk appeared, with more ghostly apparitions converging on Undying Mountain.

Suddenly, an icy voice rang in his ears, yet it carried a hint of forced tenderness.

Fatty Xu instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then scanned his surroundings, searching for the source of the voice.

Through the rainy night, he saw a woman in a white kimono drifting slowly toward him.

Her long white hair trailed behind her, and wherever she passed, frost crystallized in the surrounding space, dropping the air temperature sharply.

A ghostly apparition from Neon: a Snow Woman.

"Big brother, big brother~"

The Snow Woman forced a cold smile onto her face, then extended a pale, slender hand toward Fatty Xu.

"Could you give me your head?"

Fatty Xu had been momentarily lost in the Snow Woman's beauty, but upon hearing those words, he immediately jumped back in alarm.

"Absolutely not! No matter how beautiful you are, don't think you can take my life!"

He took a deep breath and began focusing his concentration.

"The boss said that superhuman powers users of the ice and snow element are exceptionally gifted in this apocalyptic frozen world! As long as I concentrate and develop my abilities, I'll become incredibly strong!"

He extended both hands, and the power of frost began coalescing in his palms.

"Frost can form walls as solid as castle defenses!"

"Frost can strike like razor-sharp blades!"

"Frost can turn into a blizzard that freezes everything!"

"In this world, frost is capable of anything!"

He condensed his supernatural power, and a deep blue light gathered in his palms, forming a prismatic spike.

"Colder! Sharper! Stronger!"

"Glacial Wheel Burst!"

In an instant, an ice spike erupted from his palm, exploding into countless ice shards that shot out in all directions!

In a single moment, the entire surrounding space was completely engulfed, the ice spikes denser than a torrential downpour, spreading like a vast net closing in on all the ghostly apparitions ahead!

The Snow Woman frowned at the sight, opened her mouth, and let out a savage roar completely at odds with her beautiful appearance!

"Ah!!!"

A blizzard erupted from her body, and a tide of freezing cold surged toward Fatty Xu!

But within the snowstorm, his spikes still broke through her defenses, piercing through her blizzard and raining down like arrows from the sky!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

The Snow Woman's body was riddled with bloody holes.

At last, Fatty Xu had unleashed the combat power befitting a Deputy Captain-level Transcendent, successfully killing a ghostly apparition in a single strike.

However, this was only the beginning.

Fatty Xu had no time to celebrate; his panting body urgently needed to recover and adjust.

Because in the distance, a massive black shadow like a small mountain was approaching, each step thundering "boom... boom..." as it drew nearer.

...

High above in the sky, Zhang Yi and Huahua faced four Epsilon-class opponents and actually held their ground without falling behind.

For the Absolute Defense, an increase in enemy numbers didn't exponentially amplify the pressure.

On the contrary, attacks from lower-ranked Transcendents were reflected back at them using Full Counterattack.

The only thing that could affect him was the Nukekubi's immobilization skill.

In its solid form, the Nukekubi could lock down both Zhang Yi and Huahua for a full eight seconds!

Without a doubt, this was an incredibly overpowered ability.

In a one-on-one battle, it might even allow him to kill a stronger opponent!

Unfortunately for him, this time his opponent was Zhang Yi.

Even if Zhang Yi stood completely still, the Nukekubi couldn't get close enough to touch him.

Kami-musubi-no-Kami grew more shocked the longer they fought, and the impatience on his face slowly hardened into seriousness.

"Rumble!"

Thunder roared louder and louder from the heavens. In this endless rainy night, lightning slithered through the dark clouds like silver serpents, seemingly warning the Dissidents of the world!

"Yata-no-Kagami!"

Kami-musubi-no-Kami swung his scepter, and one black magatama after another spiraled down, transforming into massive flying stars that crushed toward Zhang Yi in a trajectory he couldn't possibly dodge!

But Zhang Yi chose to counterattack head-on!

He pointed his fingers like a sword, compressing the Void Force into the size of a marble, then unleashed the unstable void energy from his fingertips in an instant—his current strongest long-range attack!

"Star-Piercing Cannon!"

Huahua also opened her mouth, launching a combined strike with Zhang Yi. A crimson high-energy particle cannon condensed in her maw, then shot toward the sky!

The black sword and crimson beam merged into one, streaking toward the heavens and slamming violently into the flying stars. It looked like a slender piece of wood trying to hold up the entire sky!

Energy silently annihilated. The entire city of Edo was now almost completely destroyed by the battle between them.

Below, no trace of human habitation remained visible, only vast stretches of barren, desolate land.

The Star-Piercing Cannon's power wasn't enough to completely negate the Yata-no-Kagami's force, but the small amount of residual energy that scattered could be perfectly absorbed by Manifold Phenomena.

Then, Zhang Yi evenly redistributed that absorbed power, aiming it straight at the Three Great Ghost Kings!

Even though it was only residual energy, a full-power strike from two Black Chariot-tier fighters left enough force to make even the Three Great Ghost Kings pale in fear.

The Great Tengu spread his massive wings to shield himself, but was still sent flying backward!

The Canine God's claws opened, its sharp claws scratching desperately at the air in an unwilling attempt to anchor itself, but it was knocked backward along with the Nukekubi riding on its back, tumbling hundreds of rotations through the sky before finally stopping.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and murmured softly, "He really is tough to deal with!"

Little did he know, Kami-musubi-no-Kami was even more frustrated.

"Am I now unable to defeat even a mere sixth-generation human?"

He stared at his own hands, his expression twisting into something ferocious.

A terrifying power began surging from within him, as if something even more dreadful was about to emerge.

"Boom!!"

A thunderbolt split the sky above, like a silver sword cleaving the heavens in two!

Kami-musubi-no-Kami's pupils contracted sharply, and he raised his head to stare at the sky.

"Is this... a warning to me?"

"But clearly, it's almost time!"

His bizarre expression and neurotic muttering reached Zhang Yi's ears and eyes, causing Zhang Yi to frown in confusion.

"What is that guy doing? Who is he talking to?"

"Almost time?"

Zhang Yi rubbed his chin. "Could it really be what I was thinking? That he can't remain in this world for too long?"

"That's right, that must be it! Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one to appear."

Kami-musubi-no-Kami lowered his head and fixed his gaze on Zhang Yi. There was even a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

That made Zhang Yi feel completely baffled.

Kami-musubi-no-Kami clenched his fists.

"But today, I must kill you!"

He took a deep breath, then suddenly turned around to face the Nukekubi, the Great Tengu, and the Canine God.

In his eyes was a gentle nostalgia.

"Old friends, farewell!"
