Chapter 1155: The Frostfeather Saint

The battlefield and those who stood on it were quiet. What was going on here?

The ultimate weapon of the Beast Taming School—a class nine soulbeast puppet—was grabbing onto the neck of a beast tamer? How in the world?

Meanwhile, the Soul Kings nearby the Frostfeather Saint were beginning to pale—the words spoken by the Frostfeather Saint was starting to clue them in on something.

‘A mere Soul Emperor thinks…he can control me?!’

Those words! Those weren’t the words of ‘senior Xue’, but… 

“The Frostfeather Saint!”

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.

“N—no! It can’t be! How…how did you manage to reawake!?”

The ‘Frostfeather Saint’ 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 Emperor’s throat started to tremble as if trying to let go of him.

 Something was fighting for control over the Frostfeather Saint. 

“Did you truly believe that I could be sealed away forever? Such arrogance…”

The Frostfeather Saint muttered silently, almost as if speaking to himself… 

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 Saint’s body. One was the Frostfeather Saint himself, and the other was the ‘invader’ Xue Ziye!

“Impossible! Your soul didn’t exist when I checked for it! How did you…”

Xue Ziye spoke again, his words quivering in the tone of Frostfeather Saint’s voice. Xue Ziye seemingly couldn’t believe what was going on.

“Checked?” The Frostfeather Saint laughed. “A few Soul Emperors believe they could see everything? Ridiculous…

“But…it is your arrogance that I must thank. I doubt my resurgence would have gone as smoothly if not for your seal unraveling at the end…”

Despair and regret flickered across the Frostfeather Saint’s 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 ‘enter’ the Frostfeather Saint’s body, it failed to seize complete and total control over it!

Reluctance and resistance continued to shine in the Frostfeather Saint’s eyes. Xue Ziye was still desperately fighting to gain control of the Frostfeather Saint’s body, but to no avail. The Frostfeather Saint wasn’t allowing the tamer any leeway in his body. Still grasping on the neck of the Soul Emperor, the Frostfeather Saint began to address him.

“Your bloodline is a repulsive one…it is true then that your ancestor was one of those that ambushed me…death take you then.”

Without Xue Ziye’s resistance, the Frostfeather Saint allowed for the blue light in his right hand glow brighter and brighter until… 

“Bang!!”

Stunned, everyone watched as the blue light traveled from the Frostfeather Saint’s 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 bloody… 

The changes were happening so fast that not even a single Soul King or Soul Emperor knew what to do or think.

“Ahhh!!!”

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 didn’t look at all exhausted or different. Killing a Mid-stage Soul Emperor might’ve 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, “Begone!”

“Bzz…”

A wave of supreme energy was expelled from the Frostfeather Saint as his hand grabbed hold of something invisible and yanked it outward!

Then…a ‘shadow’ was pulled out from his body!

It was Xue Ziye’s soul!

“Ahh!! Ahh!!! Ahhh!!!”

The shadow struggled incessantly in the Frostfeather Saint’s 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 Ziye’s 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 Ziye’s existence and sent some soulforce into his hand.

“Boom!!!”

One loud explosion later, Xue Ziye’s soul was destroyed beyond repair!

“Whoosh…”

Black wisps escaped from the fragments of Xue Ziye’s 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 Ziye’s soul, but he was also now taking the energy back into his own body… 

He paused for a single moment to digest the information held within the soul. “I see now…” He exhaled slowly. The ice-cold light in his eyes was now being transformed into fiery-hot anger… 

He looked up to where Bai Yunfei was for just a moment. Turning around, he faced the Beast Taming School’s 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.

“The Beast Taming School…will end today henceforth…”

He declared. The world trembled under the weight of his words and began to hum with the absolute power of his soulforce!

“Hoo….”

In a matter of seconds, the world was quickly transformed into a world of ice….
