A flash of icy white light shot out from the silk bag and landed on the duel platform.
The icy white light rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive white creature-a powerful aura of demonic energy spread across the platform.
It was a scorpion with hard, icy white scales, exuding a chilling coldness as if carved from ice.
The giant scorpion’s hooked tail stood erect, its stinger glowing faintly blue, clearly indicating it was highly poisonous.
“This is the venomous creature raised by Scorpio, called the Frost Toxic Scorpion!”
“Judging by its aura alone, this Frost Toxic Scorpion’s cultivation level might have reached the Demon King realm!”
Among the spectators, some cultivators quickly recognized the enormous icy white scorpion.
It was said that the Frost Toxic Scorpion only appeared in the Frozen Wastes, and its tail stinger contained poison so potent that even a peak-level Spirit Saint would lose half their life if stung.
As soon as the Frost Toxic Scorpion appeared, its enormous icy white hooked tail grew larger with the wind, like a high-speed moving spike, stabbing towards the flame shield.
Ignatius’s expression changed. He grabbed his flaming staff, tapped his toes on the ground, and leaped into the air.
The giant icy white hooked tail pierced through the flame shield and then stabbed fiercely into the ground where Ignatius had just stood.
In mid-air, Ignatius’s entire body ignited with flames, resembling a fire god. His spiritual power surged into the sky, forming a giant flame hand in front of him.
The giant flame hand appeared and directly slapped towards Scorpio.
A cold gleam flashed in Scorpio’s eyes. He quickly formed hand seals, and a giant spiked tail formed above his head, meeting the descending giant flame hand.
Boom!
The spiked tail penetrated the giant flame hand, shattering it into countless fiery fragments that scattered like rain.
Amidst the fiery rain, Scorpio flicked his right hand, sending hundreds of icy needles shooting towards Ignatius like a storm.
Ignatius’s expression changed. He rapidly spun his staff to deflect the poisonous needles.
While Ignatius was busy deflecting the needles, a cold smile appeared on Scorpio’s lips.
From behind Ignatius, a giant icy white scorpion tail emerged from the ground at incredible speed, striking his back.
Ignatius spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung forward several dozen meters in mid-air.
When he finally stabilized himself, his entire body stiffened.
A chilling icy white finger beam rested on his throat; just a bit more force would end his life.
Ignatius raised his head and met Scorpio’s cold gaze.
Feeling the cold finger beam on his throat, Ignatius’s expression changed repeatedly. He gritted his teeth and said three words: “You win.”
Upon hearing this, the icy white finger beam at Ignatius’s throat disappeared.
After conceding defeat, Ignatius flashed back to the Godsbane Dynasty’s team with a grim expression.
“The gentleman wins,” announced the soul fragment of Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign above the cauldron.
Scorpio cupped his fists towards Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s soul fragment and returned to the duel platform without any intention of leaving.
“Monk Benjamin, we from Venom Spirit Valley would like to challenge your Buddhist Sect’s divine techniques again,” Scorpio said, his gaze falling on Monk Benjamin.
Hearing this, everyone present turned their eyes towards Monk Benjamin.
Monk Benjamin had previously defeated Toad from Giant Wolf Dynasty’s Venom Spirit Valley. Now Scorpio was challenging him to regain face.
“Amitabha, I shall accompany you,” Monk Benjamin said calmly, pressing his palms together before standing up and appearing on the duel platform in a flash.
Scorpio snorted. “Monk, let me test your strength!”
As soon as Scorpio finished speaking, the Frost Toxic Scorpion’s icy white eyes filled with coldness as it stared at Monk Benjamin. Its eight legs moved rapidly forward.
As it approached, the Frost Toxic Scorpion’s enormous icy white hooked tail grew larger with the wind and stabbed towards Monk Benjamin first.
Monk Benjamin easily dodged the hooked tail with a flash of his figure.
However, after missing its target, several smaller hooked tails suddenly shot out from the ground where the main tail had struck, continuously attacking Monk Benjamin.
Monk Benjamin’s body glowed with a jade-like light as he soared into the air. Using a unique Buddhist Sect technique, he dodged all incoming attacks from the hooked tails.
Seeing this, Scorpio’s eyes flashed coldly. Ice crystals formed on his palms as he tapped his toes on the ground and charged towards Monk Benjamin like a streak of light.
“Ice Scorpion Poison Palm!” Scorpio shouted as he unleashed countless poisonous icy white palm prints towards Monk Benjamin.
“Amitabha,” Benjamin muttered as he focused. While dodging the continuous attacks from the Frost Toxic Scorpion’s tails, he formed a Buddhist Sect hand seal with both hands.
A mysterious smile appeared on Monk Benjamin’s jade-like face as he made a flower-picking gesture in mid-air.
White jade lotus petals formed at Monk Benjamin’s fingertips.
With a flick of his hands, Monk Benjamin sent the white jade lotus petals flying towards Scorpio’s palm prints.
The lotus petals collided with the icy white palm prints, shattering them into countless ice crystals that scattered beautifully in all directions.
After shattering the palm prints, the dimmed lotus petals continued to shoot towards Scorpio like streaks of light.
“Monk Benjamin’s Flower Picking Divine Finger has become even more formidable,” Noah Shadow, an old rival of Monk Benjamin, remarked with admiration from below the duel platform.
Seeing the incoming lotus petals, Scorpio’s eyes darkened. A shield of icy white light rose around him, blocking the lotus petals outside.
Monk Benjamin formed more lotus petals at his fingertips and continued to dodge the hooked tails while sending out more petals.
The lotus petals struck the Frost Toxic Scorpion’s hooked tail, shattering its hard icy white scales and drawing blood.
The Frost Toxic Scorpion let out a pained screech and withdrew its tail from the ground.
Scorpio’s expression darkened. Under his control, the Frost Toxic Scorpion leaped onto the duel platform and landed at Scorpio’s feet.
Scorpio looked at Monk Benjamin with icy eyes. “Monk, I didn’t want to use this move, but you forced me.”
Scorpio quickly formed hand seals as his spiritual power surged out like a river. The Frost Toxic Scorpion beneath him also emitted a bright icy white light mixed with blue demonic energy.
Scorpio’s spiritual power and the Frost Toxic Scorpion’s demonic energy rapidly merged in mid-air, forming a massive ice spike in no time.
The enormous ice spike glowed faintly blue, looking incredibly intimidating.
Below the duel platform, many geniuses felt a sense of danger emanating from the ice spike hanging in mid-air.
Scorpio pointed at Monk Benjamin. The massive ice spike pierced through space and shot towards Monk Benjamin.
