Chapter 1666: Chapter 1666: Contest

"Once again, it’s you. Though your strength isn’t impressive, your audacity is. In such a short time, you’ve managed to take away two of my subordinates. While they may be insignificant, and inconsequential to the massive Scourge Legion, even a hound of mine isn’t something you can meddle with." The Lich King spoke with cold disdain, yet there was a hint of admiration.

Li Yao remained silent, but the Blue Dragon Queen first snorted coldly: "If I hadn’t been severely injured by the Soul of the Giant Dragon, you wouldn’t have been able to control my soul. Had my true form been here, you might not have been my opponent. So what if you control many people, you’re still trapped in this prison, the Frozen Throne, hah, just a pathetic worm. You think of destroying the world? Ridiculous."

The Lich King didn’t look at the Blue Dragon Queen. In his eyes, she was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, as long as he could take down this crafty mortal, he could still regain control over her. By then, he had a thousand ways to teach her how to kneel before him obediently.

"Mortal, although your strength is weak, you have some luck and ability, far superior to that waste Dalkhan. The good situation in the Ghost Land was completely lost in such a short time. Of course, this only further proves that your abilities are extraordinary. Kneel, and I will forgive your sins. I can grant you great power, the Blue Dragon Queen, even the undead army you desire, will be at your command. I offer you power, even reaching the level of a Grand Lich, and you will gain infinite strength and eternal life."

Li Yao said disdainfully, "Lich King, you truly have a poor memory. How did I describe you last time? Pathetic, pitiful, ill-informed. If I desire power, I can acquire it myself. If I seek immortality, I can achieve it through divine enthronement. If I want subordinates, I can conquer them myself. Why should I bow and scrape before you to obtain things I can achieve on my own?"

"Ignorant mortal, you’re still as arrogant as ever. Your simple wit blinds you, my patience is limited. I offer you one last chance, otherwise, I will make you endure endless pain." The Lich King’s blue soul flames flickered, locked onto Li Yao, clearly unwilling to give him another opportunity.

"Hahaha." Li Yao laughed: "Let me repeat, you’re nothing but a contemptible wretch, living foolishly in your world. My words stand; when my true form descends here again, it will be your doom."

"Feeble mortal, in that case, prepare to die."

As the Lich King spoke, the flexible soul flames from his eyes suddenly floated out, one drifting towards Li Yao, the other towards the Blue Dragon Queen’s soul.

The Blue Dragon Queen snorted coldly: "To control me again won’t be that easy. Even if I die this time, I won’t become your slave."

The Blue Dragon Queen’s purple light shimmered, an arcane magic shield of purple encased her.

The Lich King’s soul flame transformed into a terrifying twisted soul, abruptly crashing against the purple shield continually.

The Blue Dragon Queen glanced at Li Yao, but he made no movement, seemingly paralyzed by fear, or perhaps entirely ignorant of how to handle this situation.

"Damn it, weren’t you supposed to be strong, why are you frozen with fear? If not, come into my shield, and we can figure out a plan."

But it was too late, another soul flame transformed into a sharp twisted soul. If the one confronting the Blue Dragon Queen looked like an old Orc, then the one facing Li Yao appeared as a young grey Prince with a crown.

Clearly, two merged souls had split into mental attacks.

"You only need to handle that old Orc for now, as for the Young Prince, I’m not concerned." Li Yao remained unimpressed.

Bang!

The two souls collided, then began to devour each other madly. This was the most direct form of soul attack, devouring a genuine spiritual explosion.

And certainly, the Lich King was utterly enraged by Li Yao and unwilling to give Li Yao a chance to flee, he directly launched the devouring to capture them both in one go.

"Since you’re obstinate, let me absorb you and take everything you have."

The Lich King roared while frantically devouring Li Yao’s soul, yet Li Yao remained motionless, as though the power wasn’t being drained from himself.

"Haven’t you had enough?"

"What." The Lich King was perplexed; he had been devouring for quite a while, yet Li Yao’s soul seemed endless, beyond what a race-level soul’s strength should possess.

"You’re useless, I can’t hold back my power, let’s end this."

Li Yao’s soul suddenly swelled, emitting an incredibly powerful soul aura.

The Lich King’s soul emitted a piercing wail, and his ethereal body was abruptly thrown back, then in the sky, it transformed into soul flames, which exploded into countless blue sparks.

Li Yao’s soul became as gigantic as a Titan Giant in an instant, occupying half of the top layer of the Frozen Throne, his soul aura vast and overwhelming.

The Blue Dragon Queen’s soul drifted freely, her magic shield shattered instantly, fortunately, Li Yao hadn’t forgotten her, catching the Blue Dragon Queen with his enormous hand.

The Orc attacking the Blue Dragon Queen’s shield also shattered into soul fire, turning into starry splinters.

The Blue Dragon Queen stared blankly at the soul towering above the skies, losing her previous aloofness as though witnessing an inconceivable marvel.

"A soul of the Primary God level, this is impossible."

The Lich King’s startled and furious voice echoed at the top of the Frozen Throne.

Li Yao just smiled slightly: "Reciprocation is expected. Try my devouring."

In his giant form, Li Yao extended a single finger, causing countless smoky tendrils to surge forth, wildly dancing, capturing the gathering blue sparks.

In just a moment, the Lich King’s soul condensed again into two masses of soul fire, yet diminished by a fifth compared to before, battered by Li Yao’s attack and absorbed by the dark tendrils. In just a few seconds, the Lich King’s soul suffered two massive blows, first scattered, then engulfed in power.

In an instant, it was unbelievably fragile, bereft of its previous bold words.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Endless ice covered the Frozen Throne in layers, quickly forming a massive ice peak, protecting the Lich King firmly at the center.

"Backing down already? Well, wise move for the cunning old fox." Li Yao withdrew his finger, the dark touch absorbing nearly a fifth of the Lich King’s soul power and a large amount of cold energy. Li Yao knew this heralded a change in the dark touch.

"What exactly are you? Are you a deity?" The Lich King’s feeble voice echoed from the ice.

"Take a guess." Li Yao couldn’t be bothered to speak further, having gained nothing more, he had no desire to linger.

"Who are you, which Primary God are you the incarnation of?" The Lich King remained unwilling to concede.

Li Yao shook his head: "Remember my words, the next time my true form descends, will be your death."

Saying this, Li Yao’s soul transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the Frozen Throne with the Blue Dragon Queen’s soul, leaving the Lich King alone in solitude amidst the ice.

For a long time thereafter, the Lich King fell into slumber, sealing himself within the ice peak...
