The Cold Light Twin Swords are forged by gathering the infinite cold qi from underground, condensed day and night with the primordial spirit into cold light, and finally tempered with dragon blood to form the twin swords.

Ao Ying loved using swords, spending six thousand years refining the Cold Light Twin Swords. She also specifically visited several sword cultivation sects to learn swordsmanship and once traveled across the Cyan Celestial Realm to hone her sword techniques.

Speaking solely of swordsmanship, Ao Ying could be called the first in the Cyan Celestial Realm Dragon Race. Of course, this is partly because few strong members of the Dragon Race use swords.

The Dragon Race is naturally born with powerful bodies and can wield powers of water, fire, wind, and thunder. However, not many prefer using swords.

Ao Ying relied on these Cold Light Twin Swords to kill countless great demon sea monsters, becoming a feared inspector in the North Sea.

The Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword in her possession was almost never used. Thus, Ao Ying secretly lent it to Ao Qiong.

As a result, Ao Qiong had an accident, and the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword was seized. When informed of the news, Ao Ying was immediately enraged.

It's not a concern if the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword was lost; it can always be recovered. However, Ao Qiong's death is irreversible.

Ao Ying could only report the matter to the North Sea Dragon King, Ao Beiyuan, who naturally was furious.

A mere Celestial Master dared to kill his son. Even though Ao Qiong was quite incompetent, he still represented the North Sea Dragon Race.

No matter how valid the reasons, the dignity of the Dragon Race cannot be violated.

Ao Beiyuan didn't want to investigate the reasons; he only wanted the enemy to immediately pay the price.

With Ao Beiyuan's approval, Ao Ying then triggered the waters of Qiong River and Bai Cang River to flood Wuyuan Country and Daqiong Country.

No matter if Gao Xuan is present or not, Ao Ying was determined to do this. Just for the death of Ao Qiong, the two countries must pay the price.

The floods caused by the two rivers directly resulted in over a million deaths and affected tens of millions.

For Wuyuan Country and Qiong Country, it was practically a nation-destroying disaster.

Ao Ying felt this was good, as without giving the Human Race a profound lesson, they wouldn't know their weight and measure.

Unfortunately, Gao Xuan wasn't there, and she couldn't resolve things with him.

Though Qiong River is vast, compared to the North Sea, it is too small. Ao Ying, impatient with waiting, returned to the North Sea first.

But then she received news from Qiong River, saying Gao Xuan had returned and arranged a time to battle her.

Ao Ying found it laughable that a mere Celestial Master dared to challenge her.

Hurriedly coming over, Ao Ying used the innate divine techniques of the Dragon Race to command a blizzard to attack.

Yet, the blizzard was forcibly dispersed by Gao Xuan.

Ao Ying was greatly shocked, as the Dragon Race is born capable of controlling celestial phenomena, forming clouds and rainfall. The ice power in the blood of the North Sea Dragon Race even allows control over ice and snow.

In terms of mastering ice and snow, the North Sea Dragon Race is deemed the strongest in the Cyan Celestial Realm. Who is Gao Xuan to have the ability to forcibly disperse the storm she commanded?

Shocked and furious, Ao Ying unhesitatingly activated the Cold Light Twin Swords.

The ice divine techniques of the North Sea Dragon Race and the Cold Light Twin Swords are extraordinarily compatible, urging forth dense and chilling sword light to form a silver transparent mirror, sealing off the sky completely.

Gao Xuan, Celestial Fool, and Ripples were all frozen by the silver sword light, like three solidified statues.

Celestial Fool and Ripples' eyes took on a chilling gleam, for the Cold Light Sword Intent had penetrated their bodies, reaching their divine souls.

Only Gao Xuan was anomalous; though his body was frozen by the sword light, deep in his eyes sparkles of golden light glittered, both lively and profound, clearly unaffected by the Cold Light Sword Intent.

Ao Ying was even more alarmed, for the strongest aspect of the Cold Light Twin Swords is the Ice Sword Intent, able to pierce through the divine soul of living beings.

It was her first time encountering a cultivator like Gao Xuan, whose divine soul couldn't be penetrated by the pervasive Ice Sword Intent.

Suspended behind Gao Xuan's head was a golden light wheel, likely harnessing the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light. Though this wonderful divine light was also inevitably frozen by the Ice Sword Intent.

On what basis was Gao Xuan able to withstand her Ice Sword Intent?

Ao Ying was puzzled, for Gao Xuan didn't possess other body-protecting spiritual artifacts, nor did he activate any special powers.

The gazes of the frozen Gao Xuan shifted, meeting Ao Ying's hundreds of yards away.

Ao Ying suddenly froze, instinctively sensing something amiss. Yet she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

No matter what, it's never a mistake to try her utmost to kill Gao Xuan!

She initially thought of capturing Gao Xuan alive, to present him to her father in the North Sea Dragon Palace.

But now, it seemed that wouldn't be possible.

Ao Ying's intent to kill arose, and she struck mercilessly. The Cold Light Twin Swords crossed to pierce Gao Xuan.

Two beams of extremely cold light flashed towards Gao Xuan, who was frozen, but suddenly moved.

On his body, a layer of mist, water, and light-like moon-white gauze robe appeared at some unknown point, and as he waved his long sleeve, like a giant silver mirror, the sword light domain silently erupted into countless interwoven fine cracks.

After a pause, the sword light domain exploded, the Ice Sword Intent shattered into billions of crystalline ice fragments, scattering across the sky.

In the blazing midday sun, innumerable flying ice fragments reflected a rainbow of splendid colors, making this scene exceptionally beautiful and magical.

The glittering Cold Light Twin Swords, however, had already pierced Gao Xuan's brow and chest.

Gao Xuan's long sleeve rolled again, its light and fluid grace resembling celestial clouds swirling in the sky, naturally agile.

Though the Cold Light Twin Swords moved as fast as lightning, they were caught and wrapped by Gao Xuan's long sleeve, disappearing without a trace.

Ao Ying sensed trouble; she could feel the presence of the Cold Light Twin Swords, yet they seemed as if weighed down by a mountain, burdened billions of times more, unable to be moved by her divine soul no matter how she urged it.

Gao Xuan's single sleeve seemed capable of sweeping through heaven and earth.

Ao Ying became anxious, and she bit her tongue to spray a mouthful of golden Dragon Blood.

The golden Dragon Blood, like mist, transformed into countless intricate runes in the air, forcibly mobilizing and gathering infinite Primordial Qi from heaven and earth.

"Slash!"

With a fierce shout, Ao Ying activated the Cold Light Twin Swords, unleashing the strongest Xuanbing Slash!

After emitting a sharp Sword Cry, the Cold Light Twin Swords instantly went silent. This time, the connection between Ao Ying and the swords' Divine Soul was forcibly severed.

These were Ao Ying's life-bound Dual Swords, equivalent to a part of her Divine Soul. Being forcibly cut off meant that a part of her Divine Soul was being severed.

Ao Ying let out a horrified scream, blood flowed from all seven orifices. Her legs went weak, nearly causing her to fall from the sky.

"Is this all you have?"

Gao Xuan lightly shook his head: "You let me down. Are you from the North Sea Dragon Race, or a North Sea mud eel?"

Ao Ying couldn't stand the insult; her Divine Soul was badly wounded, she should have instantly escaped. Clearly, she was no match for Gao Xuan. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Provoked by Gao Xuan, Ao Ying couldn't retreat; she was determined to kill Gao Xuan at all costs to uphold the dignity of the Dragon Race.

"You're courting death!"

Ao Ying yelled fiercely, her eyes showing an icy-blue cross pupil that rotated.

The Yinglong Eye, a pinnacle skill in the Yinglong Transformation. Yinglong was said to open its eyes as the sun and close them as night. Its eyes could pierce darkness and illuminate the Nine Heavens, possessing supreme Divine Techniques.

Ao Ying naturally didn't have such prowess, her Yinglong Eye could only penetrate the Divine Soul of living beings, directly disassembling the opponent's Divine Soul through her gaze.

The stronger the enemy, the greater the power consumption when using Yinglong Eye.

Wanting to kill the powerful Gao Xuan, Ao Ying could only burn her own Divine Soul.

Deep in the icy-blue consciousness sea, Ao Ying's massive True Dragon Divine Soul burned fiercely. Her Divine Soul Power instantly exploded to the extreme, and the crossed ice-blue pupils also reflected Gao Xuan's intertwined figure.

All the powers of the Yinglong Eye Divine Techniques were unleashed, and Gao Xuan's reflection in Ao Ying's cross ice-blue pupils suddenly twisted.

Yet, Gao Xuan's figure instantly returned to normal.

Exerting the Yinglong Eye, Ao Ying failed to kill Gao Xuan; instead, the power of her Yinglong Eye backfired, causing her beautiful and strange cross ice-blue pupils to suddenly explode.

Ao Ying let out a scream that shook the heaven and earth. In such a state, she could no longer maintain her human form, reverting to her original True Dragon form.

A several hundred zhang long silver-white giant dragon twisted, struggled, and screamed in the air, with both dragon eyes turned into bloody holes.

Her Divine Soul had suffered repeated heavy blows; Ao Ying had lost the ability to think, merely instinctively rolling and screaming in the sky.

Celestial Fool Master had, of course, seen True Dragons before, but witnessing Ao Ying in such a miserable state, even he was taken aback.

Ao Qiong could be considered a foppish member of the Dragon Race, with no ambitions, merely oppressing the weak daily. Celestial Fool never looked at him properly.

However, this Ao Ying was different, renowned throughout the North Sea.

One must know that the North Sea was vast and boundless, several hundred times larger than the Northern Province. Such a vast sea area was filled with countless Great Demons and Giant Monsters.

These sea monsters had long lifespans and were powerful. Even if their intelligence was not high, they were formidable.

Moreover, the North Sea had numerous Cultivation Sects, strong individuals scattered like trees in a forest.

Ao Ying was able to intimidate the North Sea, demonstrating her capabilities. The ice that sealed the Nine Heavens with her sword earlier even affected Celestial Fool. He knew how formidable she was.

However, when it came to actual combat with Gao Xuan. Ao Ying was already defeated before Gao Xuan even made his move.

Celestial Fool Master was both surprised and somewhat pleased. The arrogance of the Dragon Race deserved a deep lesson.

Yet, if Ao Ying were truly killed, all possibilities of reconciliation with the Dragon Race would be lost.

Celestial Fool was somewhat worried, but he wouldn't say much. Whether to kill or release, Gao Xuan would decide for himself; it wasn't his place to intervene.

Gao Xuan looked at Ao Ying's pain-filled, writhing, screaming True Form and muttered to himself: "Sounds awful."

If one ignored the wailing sound, Ao Ying's True Dragon Body was still very beautiful.

A several hundred zhang long giant body, with smooth lines and neatly layered silver scales, was aesthetically pleasing. The twisting, writhing body was full of power.

Dragons flying and phoenix dancing, indeed, was a very graceful posture.

Gao Xuan sighed with admiration, then said to Ao Ying: "The lives of millions of our two countries must be repaid with your entire family's lives. This time I'll spare you, go back and tell Ao Beiyuan to wash his neck and wait for death."

Without waiting for Ao Ying's reply, Gao Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a long wind rolled Ao Ying away with a howl; in the blink of an eye, she was out of sight.

"Celestial Master, Ao Beiyuan in North Sea isn't considered formidable, the truly powerful one is Ao Dongcheng in the East Sea, this True Dragon is acclaimed as the number one Dragon Race warrior, said to have lived over eighty thousand years, exceedingly formidable..."

Celestial Fool couldn't dissuade Gao Xuan, he could only remind him not to be complacent.

Ao Dongcheng lived over eighty thousand years. Besides that, no cultivator in the Cyan Celestial Realm could match his Cultivation and Dao Practice.

Not to mention the numerous secret treasures the Dragon Race possessed, such a formidable entity was not to be trifled with.

Gao Xuan nodded: "I don't want to cause trouble either, it's just that the Dragon Race is too arrogant, they must be taught a lesson. If Ao Dongcheng is unreasonable, that would be wonderful…"

He grinned at Celestial Fool with a faint smile: "I love unreasonable folks the most."

Celestial Fool Master felt a chill throughout his body from Gao Xuan's smile; he suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards the Dragon Race...
