Mu Bing's eyes narrowed as she brought her delicate hands together. The icy-blue aurora swaying in the space in front of her began to gather in order to stop the incoming attack!

*Shhss!~*

The tiny flaming spherical wisp quickly entered the aurora and shot forwards. Its speed was unimpeded at least until halfway before it started to slow down. The burning flames of its spherical surface actually began to freeze!

Ice began to appear all over the flames before it encased the tiny wisp. Its radiance then lessened before its prowess began to show signs of dropping. Its momentum kept it moving, and when it left the aurora, it already appeared as if it was entirely frozen deep.

It floated towards Mu Bing but looking at its current prowess, they couldn't feel any, making them inwardly snicker, but of course, its prowess was even lower than that of Sophie's imposing and blazing broadsword when it was condensed, so what needs to be said about this tiny wisp that looked like it could crack anytime?

It was no wonder that it got frozen before it even left the aurora.

However, looking at it still not cracking into icy bits like the broadsword after two seconds, they couldn't help but become confused. When they were about to voice their doubts, the frozen spherical wisp had already neared Mu Bing, but she took a step back and abruptly retreated!

More ice energy tried to reach the frozen spherical wisp.

However, it was too late!

"...Lights The Skies!~"

That same solemn voice from Niera fell as she gracefully moved her hand to the front and snapped her fingers.

"Bing'er!!!"

The frozen spherical wisp abruptly lightened up, engulfing the whole Grand Wedding Hall in its resplendent light before it exploded!

*Boom!!!~~~*

A bright mini-sun appeared in the Grand Wedding Hall as it slowly spun around with incredible might. It had reached a hundred meters wide in radius, engulfing Mu Bing and her aurora along with its expansion.

However, it suddenly froze as if time stopped, but ice became prevalent all over its flaming surface the next moment.

*Crack!~*

The mini-sun lost its radiance but shone in a lustrous light from the refraction of ice. It then abruptly cracked, shattering into a million pieces of icy shards before two people became visible, with one of them standing tall while the other sat in mid-air, appearing to be shook.

Once she saw this scene, Niera dropped her hand while her bosoms heaved heavily.

'I won...'

She inwardly sighed, looking at Mystic Ice Sect's Sect Master standing in front of the awkwardly seated Mu Bing, who looked like she was going to brace for an impact.

On the other hand, everyone almost had their jaws drop.

The Mystic Ice Sect's Sect Master had actually stepped in to save her Top Disciple. This automatically disqualified Mu Bing from this match! However, the fact that someone like a Ninth Stage Powerhouse had to step in told them that Mu Bing clearly lost in this exchange!

But how!?

Only the Ninth Stage Powerhouses and a few eighth stage experts looked like they knew what was going on.

Not to the fact that Sect Master Bing Luli stepped in to save Mu Bing! But the fact that this attack reached the prowess of the peak of low-level eighth stage at that very instant it exploded!

From Low-Level Law Dominion Stage to the peak of Low-Level Eighth Stage... what kind of concept was this!? Not only was this the difference between an entire stage, but the ability to cross levels at the latter stages was extremely difficult.

To have such prowess, one must have a Perfect Domain on top of having a Perfect Foundation. It was ridiculous to reach such prowess without both! However, this tiny attack that turned into a mini-flaming sun from this young lady had reached such a level!

Indeed, possessing both Perfect Domain and Perfect Foundation would allow them to battle an entire stage above normally without having to use any techniques but still, reaching that same level with unique techniques was extremely praiseworthy as well.

Sophie, Mu Bing, and Niera had all achieved it. However, Niera brought that to the edge, surpassing them both in terms of offensive prowess. They couldn't help but nod, agreeing that her arrogance was well deserved.

"Sect Master." Mu Bing trembled amidst the icy air in the battle platform before she looked up, "I could've defended myself, and even if I couldn't, the life-saving ar-"

"Don't waste such a precious life-saving artifact for this kind of battle where the opponent has no killing intent." Sect Master Bing Luli shook her head, "You lost, but losing is a good battle experience. The frustration from it will not only motivate you to learn more but also made you aware that such an attack can essentially bypass your Ice Smiting Aurora you were proud of."

Mu Bing's expression became complicated.

Indeed, she thought it was a condensed flame that posed a big threat. After all, it was so fast, and something condensed wouldn't be able to move faster. Once she froze it, she felt that it wouldn't be a threat. However, the threat was within the spherical wisp where the flames were still alive, waiting to explode on Niera's command.

Her aurora had failed to freeze her entire attack.

'Such control... Indeed, it's something that could only be used within the domain, just like my Ice Smiting Aurora and Sophie's Solitary Flame Armament Strike...'

Their attacks were capable of massacring cultivators at Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage using less energy. That was the advantage of possessing a Perfect Domain. Moreover, attacks like these were unique to their domains, and that's why others couldn't comprehend them. Although, they could try to make a similar and maybe lesser version of their unique technique into a battle technique for others to use.

Niera felt exhausted for a few moments before she recovered.

She had spent forty percent of her essence energy in one go to launch her Burning Sun Lights The Skies, and such a drastic pull of energy from the body was almost impossible to perform, making her feel a bit tired.

Even Sophie's giant broadsword only used up around thirty percent of her essence energy, so it was justified that her attack was powerful but judging by the amount of energy used, it should've been way more powerful.

Niera was aware of this technique's overuse of essence energy which wasn't good, but that was what made it strong with her current comprehension. She also felt like she could improve on it more.

Mu Bing stood up at this moment, her shoulders shuddering before she forcefully clasped her hands.

"I admit defeat!"

"Good~"

Sect Master Bing Luli spoke before she too clasped her hands towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

"I apologize for interfering in this battle."

"No need to apologize." Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled, "If something like that happened to Niera, I would've interfered with it myself. However, I believe everyone can see now that Niera Alstreim isn't a disguised person or an illusion."

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

"Top Disciple Mu Bing..."

Niera's voice abruptly echoed, gathering everyone's attention, including Mu Bing's.

"Your Ice Laws are still lacking from the peak since I know a person who is better than you in Ice Laws..."

Mu Bing's eyes widened in shock.

While everyone wondered who it could be, Natalya shyly lowered her head.

Yes, it was none other than her whom Niera mentioned.

They had fought before in the safe confines of the Purple Guest Palace as Niera was curious about Ice Laws. Of course, the battle ended up in a draw as neither managed to up one against each other, mostly because Natalya wasn't willing to give her all to break Niera's confidence using her twin domains while Niera used most of her power trying to break her defense.

That was why Niera said to Mu Bing that she would accept that her Ice Laws were the best she had ever seen if she failed to defeat her.

However, Mu Bing had totally misunderstood. The only person she knew who was better in Ice Laws was her master, Myria. She totally misunderstood that Niera knew about Myria and couldn't help but wonder what kind of connection they had.

Nevertheless, she believed that if her master was here, she would've surely stood strong against this attack that defeated her. It was too bad that person decided to enter seclusion to achieve grander and greater heights while she was here, only able to keep up the pace along with her two newfound rivals.
