Su Yu was forced back over a hundred meters in the air, barely stabilizing his figure.

In front of him, an ice-blue moon and a silvery sun blocked out the sky.

The rotation of the sun and moon, the complementarity of yin and yang.

Su Yu exhaled lightly, his gaze grave.

This was the legendary double soul core of yin-yang complementarity.

Only by facing it directly could one truly understand how terrifying it was.

Its boost to strength was far more than just a little.

If the original Mu Wu was only somewhat stronger than ordinary Ultimate Douluo, then Mu Wu now was truly wielding his real power.

Such a Mu Wu, even someone like Long Xiaoyao—a demi-god who had forged his path among Ultimate Douluo—might not be able to defeat him.

Yin-yang complementation was just that powerful.

Ironically, this overwhelming Mu Wu was also inseparable from Su Yu himself.

If Su Yu hadn’t supported him with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and then given him Di Tian’s insights on the double soul core, Mu Wu might not have crossed this threshold that no human soul master had ever stepped over.

Now, it was Su Yu’s turn to taste the might of yin-yang complementation.

Shaking his head inwardly, Su Yu’s vigilance rose to its peak.

Since Mu Wu had unveiled yin-yang complementation, his next attacks would surely be formidable.

As Su Yu expected, once yin-yang complementation emerged, Mu Wu seemed to have shed all shackles.

The Baxia let out a long roar and endless ice elements instantly condensed into a towering mountain, pressing down on Su Yu.

A mountain hundreds of meters wide came crashing down, enveloping Su Yu in shadow.

Invisible gravity weighed on Su Yu as the ice mountain fell as if to crush him flat.

Su Yu gripped his sword with both hands and slashed—the first form of the Ice God Sword Art: Dawn of Ice.

Like the first light of the sun, a beam of ultimate icy sword energy pierced the darkness, cleaving a third of the mountain.

But the remaining mountain still crashed down.

Witnessing this, Shui Lingguang and others held their breath.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the ice mountain shattered.

A figure was flung back like an arrow loosed from a bow.

Su Yu’s face paled slightly; a crescent moon appeared behind him, his body radiating dazzling golden light.

Seventh form of the Ice God Sword Art: Frost Moon’s Purity.

A purely offensive move, its power unmatched.

Compared to the first form, this was far stronger.

With the Diamond Body enhancement and Frost Moon’s Purity, Su Yu barely blocked the strike.

But the force from the ice mountain still sent him flying.

Staring at the split mountain, Mu Wu’s expression didn’t change. He grabbed at the air, gathering massive ice elements into a huge ice sword.

The sword pointed skyward, its tip to the earth—a sight to shake the heavens.

Mu Wu pointed, and the ice sword slashed down.

Where it passed, space itself was cut, revealing pitch-black fissures.

As the ice sword descended, the clouds parted, its sharp aura sending chills through Su Yu before it even touched him.

Su Yu forcibly twisted his body, wasting no time. A black-and-white domain spread out.

In his dantian, the blood-golden core pulsed, releasing surging power.

Within the Sovereign Dominance Domain, blood energy, soul power, and spiritual power fused perfectly.

Going all out, Su Yu activated his second and fifth soul rings together.

Boost skills unleashed, he gripped the Ice Sky Divine Sword, slashing down.

Countless ice elements condensed into layers of hard ice, blooming like a snow lotus in front of him.

A gigantic lotus shield of frozen ice formed before Su Yu.

Ice God Sword Art: Shield of Torrential Falls.

A purely defensive move.

Mu Wu’s blow was unstoppable, but Su Yu strategically chose to defend.

The ice sword crashed down on the shield.

Instantly, ice fragments scattered, waves of force erupting.

The Torrential Falls Shield, the sturdiest defense in the Ice God Sword Art, managed to block Mu Wu’s fierce attack.

But before Su Yu could breathe, the ice sword suddenly pressed harder.

The lotus shield was forced back; Su Yu, gripping his sword, was pushed back step by step.

At this moment, Mu Wu raised his right hand—one soul ring glowed, and he slashed down.

The ice sword shimmered, icy white chill surging out. Suddenly, Su Yu found the sword become so heavy.

Cracks spread across the shield.

Despite its power, the difference in raw strength was too great.

Bang...!

The shield exploded, the lotus shattered, and Su Yu lost all defenses, facing the immense ice sword directly.

At the critical moment, Su Yu barely managed to block with his sword.

The Ice Sky Divine Sword, a true super artifact, shielded Su Yu once more, but he was still smashed from the sky like a meteor hurtling to earth.

“Su Yu!”

Xue Di’s face changed dramatically. She soared after him.

Turning into a stream of light, Xue Di caught up with Su Yu, but as soon as she did, her expression changed.

A forceful shockwave dragged both her and Su Yu downward.

As they fell, Xue Di quickly activated her martial soul, and a blue glow flickered on her arm, unleashing a force field.

A surge of power slowed their fall, giving Su Yu a chance to recover.

Invisible wind elements surrounded them. With soul armor equipped and metal wings flapping, the two finally stabilized in the air.

Su Yu grabbed Xue Di’s arm, surprised. “Xue’er, why are you here?”

Xue Di sighed in relief, “Seeing you fall behind like that, how could I just sit still?”

Su Yu sighed, “The yin-yang double soul core is even stronger than I imagined.”

He asked himself: with the Ice Sky Divine Sword, he was not inferior to any Ultimate Douluo.

He was confident.

Yet even so, facing Mu Wu with the double soul core, he was barely holding on.

Mu Wu before and after—like a different person, overwhelmingly powerful.

And this was just Mu Wu. If it were Di Tian with the same double soul core, wouldn’t that be heaven-defying?

Su Yu had to admit, though he’d prepared mentally, after actually fighting, he realized he’d underestimated Mu Wu.

“If yin-yang complementation were ordinary, I wouldn’t have failed back then,” Xue Di said quietly.

She’d tried to achieve the double soul core too, but had failed.

So, she understood its might.

Su Yu said nothing, just gripped her hand tightly.

Looking at Xue Di, he didn’t speak, but she understood his thoughts.

Smiling softly, Xue Di said, “I understand, but what matters now is how to handle Mu Wu.”

“Su Yu, let’s attack together.”

Su Yu shook his head. “It’s not time yet. Your first seven soul rings are still sealed; only the eighth and ninth are usable.”

“Don’t join in for now—wait for an opportunity.”

“Remember, this isn’t Mu Wu’s final form.”

Su Yu hadn’t forgotten—besides the double soul core, Mu Wu still had a trump card.

“But—”

“Don’t worry. I’m not as weak as you think. Yin-yang complementation is incredible, but my Supreme Divine Art isn’t for show.”

As Xue Di looked on in confusion, a strange white glow radiated from Su Yu.

That light was hazy, seemingly ordinary, but carried a profound, all-encompassing feel.

“Mu Wu, again!”

Su Yu rose into the sky, unleashing layers of domains.

Ice Emperor’s Domain!

Snow Dance Domain!

Ice Domain!

Perpetual Domain!

Sovereign Dominance Domain!

Blood-Golden Core!

Martial Soul True Form of the Ice Emperor!

...

All kinds of powers emerged, then merged into the white glow around Su Yu.

Different forces mysteriously fused, forming a new, vast energy.

Su Yu’s aura soared, like a giant standing between heaven and earth.

He clawed downward, five hundred-meter-long blades slashing at Mu Wu.

Even before they landed, Mu Wu felt a chill.

Mu Wu countered with a massive icy palm.

Boom!

As the attacks collided, golden lightning burst from the blades.

Bolts of lightning tore through the palm print, crashing toward Mu Wu.

Mu Wu, in Baxia form, blocked—lightning and ice clashing.

Suddenly, Mu Wu’s face changed; a white and red energy invaded the ice.

He withdrew, fists clenched, dispelling the force with sun and moon light.

At that moment, Mu Wu was shaken.

Su Yu’s seemingly ordinary attack contained many powers:

—The unmatched sharpness of the Darkgold Terrorclaw

—The explosive might of ultimate thunder

—The final white and red energies: the famous ultimates of ice and fire

How had Su Yu fused such potent, complex powers?

Mu Wu was deeply shocked.

Such a force was truly troublesome.

“What is that?” Mu Wu asked, stopping for the first time.

Su Yu smiled, “Guess?”

Mu Wu’s smile froze—he knew his young master was being cheeky.

Su Yu snickered secretly.

Such an unbelievable feat wasn’t his ability.

Even an Ultimate Douluo couldn’t combine so many ultimate forces so perfectly.

He owed it all to the Supreme Divine Art.

If the seventh level—Diamond Body—let Su Yu face an Ultimate Douluo head-on,

Then the eighth level’s special ability truly sent his combat power skyrocketing.

The eighth level: Ocean’s Embrace.

Like the ocean, accepting all rivers, merging everything into itself.

Nothing excluded, nothing rejected.

With Ocean’s Embrace, all of Su Yu’s powers could be reorganized and elevated into a stronger force.

Su Yu was awed by yin-yang complementation, but his Ocean’s Embrace was just as world-shaking.

In this state, Su Yu was stronger than ever.

No more words—Su Yu attacked.

His left claw pierced the clouds, gripping at Mu Wu.

Suddenly, Mu Wu felt a strange force binding him, dulling his thoughts.

Startled, he spun the yin-yang sun and moon, forcibly dispelling the negative effect.

But the green claw had already struck.

Lightning exploded, filled with destructive power.

Within it was awe-inspiring divine might, green shot with gold.

Mu Wu met it with a palm.

Azure Annihilation Thunder!

Su Yu unleashed the Azure Dragon’s signature move.

With Ocean’s Embrace, its power had far surpassed its original limits.

Mu Wu dared not be careless.

Claw and palm collided.

Countless green bolts scattered, but Mu Wu didn’t look pleased.

As the green lightning dissipated, golden light burst forth—the lightning turning instantly gold.

Now, alongside ultimate destruction was a force of indestructibility—the Diamond Body power fused into the lightning.

The golden thunder was vast and mighty.

Mu Wu’s palm was torn apart; sun and moon, moon and day, rippled and finally soothed the attack.

Only by relying on yin-yang complementation did Mu Wu block it.

A trace of surprise and satisfaction flashed in Mu Wu’s eyes—his young master was now this strong?

Such mysterious power, plus the Ice Sky Divine Sword, even he now felt threatened.

“Mu Wu, fight on!”

The white glow around Su Yu blazed up like a holy fire.

He gripped the Ice Sky Divine Sword, white light enveloping the hilt, a sacred aura radiating out.

He slashed—Dawn of Ice.

It was still the same move, but Mu Wu now faced it as a deadly threat.

The white sword beam tore through space.

Mu Wu formed seals, the Baxia’s image looming. With a pull, the image turned into a massive cold white sword.
