Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1884 - 1866: Emperor Hong Bing
If it weren’t for the fact that this extremely cold environment was unbearably dull, Fang Yan would have considered staying in this fourth layer forever. This Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art is akin to a heaven-defying existence. As long as he can find a suitable place, his power can continually grow without doing anything, and the speed is incredibly fast. The only issue is the breakthrough problem, for which there’s no one to help.
After cultivating to the seventh layer, Fang Yan already felt that the Cold Qi from the fourth layer was almost useless to him. So, he lazily decided not to waste any more time here. Suddenly opening his eyes, two beam-like gazes shot into the distance, instantly forming a deep blue shockwave that swept across the surrounding miles in an instant, stirring up a storm that created a vacuum around Fang Yan...
Standing up, Fang Yan was very satisfied with the current state of the Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art. Compared to the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art, this Secret Art was more suitable for a place like the Ice Abyss. After circulating the Secret Art, he no longer had to worry about the Cold Qi, which greatly helped his exploration of the castle ahead.
With a smile on his lips, Fang Yan stepped towards the distance, eager to see what this castle truly was and to confront the Demon Beast that had severely wounded the Qianhun Ancestor...
Five hundred miles away, a distance that previously would have taken several hours, Fang Yan now traversed at an extraordinarily fast speed thanks to mastering the Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art, reaching the outside of the Ice Castle in less than four hours.
Looking at the castle in front of him, entirely constructed of ice, Fang Yan was immensely shocked. The Ice Castle covered an area of several dozen miles, with all its buildings made of deep blue ice. All buildings shared one characteristic, that of towering size. The shortest stood over thirty zhang high, and the tallest reached one hundred zhang. If not seen with one’s own eyes, who would believe such constructions existed underground?
The outer wall of the entire Ice Castle was neatly constructed from deep blue ice bricks, not very tall but still over thirty zhang high. Facing the front, there was a giant gate tower over fifty zhang tall, with three large characters in the middle, glowing faint blue — Myriad Ice City!
Gazing at the distant Myriad Ice City, Fang Yan frowned slightly. To construct such a massive ice castle, its owner must be extraordinary! Moreover, critically, the Demon Beast that had severely injured the Qianhun Ancestor had yet to appear, making exploring Myriad Ice City impossible for now!
Thinking slightly, Fang Yan looked at Myriad Ice City and suddenly shouted, "Stop hiding, come out! I know you’re in there. You used to kill upon seeing humans; why haven’t you appeared now after seeing me?"
Fang Yan had his own thoughts; to safely enter Myriad Ice City, he must first deal with the Demon Beast, at the very least find out what kind of Demon Beast it was and why it guarded here. Rash action could lead to disaster if he fell into the Beast’s trap!
Just as Fang Yan finished speaking, a loud voice came from within Myriad Ice City.
"It’s been a long time since any humans came here. Kid, you’re really brave to come here with such minor strength?"
The voice was extremely loud, like an Ancient Bell, with even a ripple appearing in the air. Immediately, a white light flashed, and a Demon Beast appeared at the Myriad Ice City gate, its body about twenty zhang long, entirely pitch black, surrounded by a mist-like Demon Energy, exuding a destructive aura. It had a body like a cheetah but a head like a giant lizard, with a black horn and three deep blue eyes on its head, watching Fang Yan with interest.
"Little guy, it’s very surprising that you can walk here. Without even reaching the Human Immortal Realm, you possess such strength, you’re very peculiar!" The Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast looked at Fang Yan, speaking calmly. It clearly saw through everything about Fang Yan, a human in his twenties reaching this place. If not seen with its own eyes, it couldn’t believe it.
But just after speaking, it suddenly found that Fang Yan was circulating the Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art, which left it momentarily stunned. The Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art was its master’s Secret Art, the most suitable for this extremely cold environment. How did this brat learn it? Even more unbelievably, the brat had cultivated it to the seventh layer. How did he manage this!
It knew its master left several places here for passing down this Secret Art, but those entering should at least have Earth Immortal Realm strength. Cultivating the Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art to the seventh layer would take decades, yet this brat seemed only in his twenties. How was this possible!
"No need for words. Can you tell me what Myriad Ice City is and how I can explore it?" Fang Yan waved at the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast, speaking bluntly. What concerned him most were these questions. As for how he came here, he had no interest in explaining.
"This Myriad Ice City is the residence of my master, Emperor Hong Bing. I stay here to guard it. The master once instructed that anyone who can defeat me may explore this place; no one else is allowed entry."
Looking at Fang Yan, the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast, heart no longer trembling, spoke calmly. It found this little guy intriguing, facing such a Demon Venerable Realm beast without fear, still aiming to explore Myriad Ice City. Was this little guy truly fearless or did he have some backing? If not for mastering the master’s Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art, this little guy couldn’t have reached here, let alone dreamed of exploring Myriad Ice City!
Emperor Hong Bing?
Hearing this name from the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast, Fang Yan furrowed his brow slightly. Yet another super powerhouse he’d never heard of. Thinking the Ice Abyss was unbelievably exaggerated, why did so many powerful beings like to come here? Last time he obtained the Extreme Cold Ice Fire, this time it was the same again...
However, having finally reached here, giving up was out of the question. Thinking along these lines, he glanced at the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast and directly said, "Then let’s do it, let me experience it."
After speaking, blue Cold Qi suddenly rose from Fang Yan, pushing the Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art to its limit. To explore Myriad Ice City, he must defeat the Demon Beast, leaving no room for negotiation, so with no further words, they began the fight.
"Little guy, seeing how you’ve cultivated the Extreme Cold Domination Secret Art to the seventh layer, I’ll give you a piece of advice: leave now, and I won’t kill you. If we fight, ours will be a battle to the death, as my master instructed only those who can kill me may enter!" The Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast spoke earnestly upon hearing Fang Yan’s intent to fight. This was strictly as instructed by its master, not its own desire. But if this brat insisted, he must bear the consequences.
"No worries, let’s fight!" Fang Yan looked at the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast calmly. Though just at the peak of the Heaven Flipping Realm, yet to break through to the Human Immortal Realm, his trumps were many. Even if none worked out, he had a way to escape, so the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast’s threats meant nothing to him.
"Alright, then I won’t hold back!"
Seeing Fang Yan’s persistence, the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast stopped holding back itself. Its body moved suddenly towards Fang Yan, wings flapping fiercely. In a moment, it was like a black flash rushing at Fang Yan. The situation was too sudden and too fast—for when Fang Yan realized, the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast was already upon him!
Its claws, like two sharp swords, aimed at Fang Yan’s chest, flashing with a cold light like real metal, seemingly ready to tear Fang Yan to pieces. Unexaggeratedly, with the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast’s current strength, it could easily shred even a steel mountain!
Damn it!
Facing such a speed-type Demon Beast, Fang Yan hadn’t expected its speed to be this fast. In a blink, it was before him. Even dodging seemed impossible; a direct clash offered a slight chance of survival, fleeing meant certain death. Helpless, he instantly unleashed the Gang Qi within, his fist suddenly covered with a peculiar azure light, exuding an aggressive Cold Qi, bizarrely mixed with sun-like heat!
Indeed, for this punch, Fang Yan not only channeled the Gang Qi but also the Extreme Cold Ice Fire. Facing the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast, holding back was simply courting death! His fist, like Lightning, met the Beast’s claws at the last moment with extreme speed, remarkably striking first despite being later...
"Boom!"
With an earth-shattering boom, a storm erupted at the point of impact, shattering everything within miles alive and instantly. The terrifying storm instantly expanded, like a tornado from the battle’s center, outward, its surface showing black-blue lights—representing both the Beast’s Demon Energy and Fang Yan’s Gang Qi.
"Rumble..."
Amidst the rumbling, the terrifying storm only subsided after sweeping over a radius of more than ten miles. Below where they clashed, there appeared a gigantic crater several miles in diameter, as if the ground had been gouged out into a massive hole, showcasing just how fearsome their first confrontation had been!
Looking again upon the scene, the Annihilation Three-Eyed Beast remained at the clash point unmoved, while Fang Yan, after their clash, was sent flying several miles, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth—unmistakably, he was injured!
