The battlefield and those who stood on it were quiet. What was going on here?
The ultimate weapon of the Beast Taming Schoolâa class nine soulbeast puppetâwas grabbing onto the neck of a beast tamer? How in the world?
Meanwhile, the Soul Kings nearby the Frostfeather Saint were beginning to paleâthe words spoken by the Frostfeather Saint was starting to clue them in on something.
âA mere Soul Emperor thinksâŚhe can control me?!â
Those words! Those werenât the words of âsenior Xueâ, butâŚÂ
âThe Frostfeather Saint!â
A Late-stage Soul King shrieked as if he saw a ghost.
It was a failure! A failure!! Xue Ziye had failed to turn the Frostfeather Saint into his own medium! The Frostfeather Saint had managed to reawaken!!
That was the conclusion everyone else began to arrive at!
And the Soul Emperor being held by the Frostfeather Saint was one of those realized people. Eyes practically bulging out from his head, the Soul Emperor began to fall into despair.
âNâno! It canât be! HowâŚhow did you manage to reawake!?â
The âFrostfeather Saintâ spoke. The cold and detached expression on its face began to contort and twist in on itself. The hand that was latched onto the Soul Emperorâs throat started to tremble as if trying to let go of him.
 Something was fighting for control over the Frostfeather Saint.Â
âDid you truly believe that I could be sealed away forever? Such arroganceâŚâ
The Frostfeather Saint muttered silently, almost as if speaking to himselfâŚÂ
It was a peculiar sight, to see a person seemingly change personalities and converse with himself like so.
The reality of the situation was thus so: there were two souls within the Frostfeather Saintâs body. One was the Frostfeather Saint himself, and the other was the âinvaderâ Xue Ziye!
âImpossible! Your soul didnât exist when I checked for it! How did youâŚâ
Xue Ziye spoke again, his words quivering in the tone of Frostfeather Saintâs voice. Xue Ziye seemingly couldnât believe what was going on.
âChecked?â The Frostfeather Saint laughed. âA few Soul Emperors believe they could see everything? RidiculousâŚ
âButâŚit is your arrogance that I must thank. I doubt my resurgence would have gone as smoothly if not for your seal unraveling at the endâŚâ
Despair and regret flickered across the Frostfeather Saintâs eyes. That had to be Xue Ziye. When he was trying to triumph over the Frostfeather Saint, Xue Ziye had to unravel the seal so his own soul could be let in. It was a risk he had to take, considering that time was not on his side. It was a gamble he took and subsequently lost!
While his soul managed to âenterâ the Frostfeather Saintâs body, it failed to seize complete and total control over it!
Reluctance and resistance continued to shine in the Frostfeather Saintâs eyes. Xue Ziye was still desperately fighting to gain control of the Frostfeather Saintâs body, but to no avail. The Frostfeather Saint wasnât allowing the tamer any leeway in his body. Still grasping on the neck of the Soul Emperor, the Frostfeather Saint began to address him.
âYour bloodline is a repulsive oneâŚit is true then that your ancestor was one of those that ambushed meâŚdeath take you then.â
Without Xue Ziyeâs resistance, the Frostfeather Saint allowed for the blue light in his right hand glow brighter and brighter untilâŚÂ
âBang!!â
Stunned, everyone watched as the blue light traveled from the Frostfeather Saintâs arm to the head of Soul Emperor before exploding!
A Mid-stage Soul Emperor had died without resistance!
Still in silence, everyone watched as the remnants of the beast tamer showered the ground below. Ultimately, the pieces littered the ground and left multiple places bloodyâŚÂ
The changes were happening so fast that not even a single Soul King or Soul Emperor knew what to do or think.
âAhhh!!!â
One last scream interrupted the silence as the Soul Kings behind the Frostfeather Saint began to retreat at full speed!
No one was standing within a half-kilometer radius of the Frostfeather Saint now.
While the beast tamers were despairing, Bai Yunfei and his allies were beginning to smile with glee!
Even the Blue-eyes White Dragon King, who had resigned himself to a sacrificial death, was starting to sigh in relief.
The White-browed Hawk King and the Two Winged Kings both looked relieved as well. The Frostfeather Saint was back!
The Frostfeather Saint didnât look at all exhausted or different. Killing a Mid-stage Soul Emperor mightâve been a big deal for anyone else here, but not for him. Ignoring the Beast Taming School, the divinebeast slapped his hand to his forehead, âBegone!â
âBzzâŚâ
A wave of supreme energy was expelled from the Frostfeather Saint as his hand grabbed hold of something invisible and yanked it outward!
ThenâŚa âshadowâ was pulled out from his body!
It was Xue Ziyeâs soul!
âAhh!! Ahh!!! Ahhh!!!â
The shadow struggled incessantly in the Frostfeather Saintâs hand, crying non-stop as it tried to release itself. As powerful as the shadow was, it was still nothing in front of the Frostfeather Saint.
The Frostfeather Saint glared at Xue Ziyeâs shadow as if he was staring at an ant. For several seconds, he seemed disinterested in doing anything more, but then he finally decided to end Xue Ziyeâs existence and sent some soulforce into his hand.
âBoom!!!â
One loud explosion later, Xue Ziyeâs soul was destroyed beyond repair!
âWhooshâŚâ
Black wisps escaped from the fragments of Xue Ziyeâs soul upon its death. Following the wave of his hand, the Frostfeather Saint began to absorb those black wisps into his body!
Not only had he destroyed Xue Ziyeâs soul, but he was also now taking the energy back into his own bodyâŚÂ
He paused for a single moment to digest the information held within the soul. âI see nowâŚâ He exhaled slowly. The ice-cold light in his eyes was now being transformed into fiery-hot angerâŚÂ
He looked up to where Bai Yunfei was for just a moment. Turning around, he faced the Beast Taming Schoolâs gates where the frightened beast tamers were still standing in front of.
The entire terrain was a mess. Craters littered the ground in ways that made the earth look more like swiss cheese than not. Several beast tamers could even be seen clambering over the craters to flee.
âThe Beast Taming SchoolâŚwill end today henceforthâŚâ
He declared. The world trembled under the weight of his words and began to hum with the absolute power of his soulforce!
âHooâŚ.â
In a matter of seconds, the world was quickly transformed into a world of iceâŚ.Â
