Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Nether Cold Bridge! Endless Dead Souls! Infinite Stacking of Extreme Ice Power!
As soon as Lin Tianming entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, he felt a deep chill sweep over his whole body, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Hiss... Is it so cold in here? Qingxue, do you have any skills that can keep us warm?"
Walking in this seemingly endless icy and snowy land, Lin Tianming asked Ye Qingxue who was by his side.
"Why aren’t you speaking, Qingxue?"
Getting no response, Lin Tianming looked puzzled at his side.
He hadn’t noticed it before, but now he saw that Ye Qingxue, who had entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm with him, was gone.
His heart skipped a beat, Lin Tianming took a deep breath and was again frozen by the chill in the air.
Not daring to breathe deeply again, Lin Tianming quickly looked around trying to find Ye Qingxue, but he could see nothing around him.
Moreover, the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm that he and Ye Qingxue had entered had also disappeared, and everything around was a boundless world of ice and snow.
Previously, when he entered the Lost Land and the Mechanical Secret Realm, Lin Tianming had never encountered such a situation where no exit could be found.
"Is this the Ice and Snow Secret Realm? It seems I can only rely on myself for now. Qingxue has an Ice Attribute Superpower, and probably feels like a fish in water here, not likely facing any danger."
Muttering to himself, Lin Tianming also summoned the violent Thunder Power all around his body.
Furious Thunder Armor!
With the Thunder Armor on, Lin Tianming attempted to use its defensive power to resist the cold air here.
The bone-chilling cold of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm ignored his Furious Thunder Armor, penetrating his body and still making him feel extremely cold.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he would turn into an ice sculpture, becoming a part of the landscape in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
Lin Tianming didn’t want to become an ice sculpture for future visitors to see; he once again used the new Fire Attribute Skill he had learned from Wang Yanran.
Phoenix Flame Divine Shield!
The intense Phoenix Flame transformed into a divine shield that enveloped his entire body, instantly shielding Lin Tianming from the harsh cold wind and ice.
Moreover, the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield also provided Lin Tianming with a warm current, warming his body.
"It seems that in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm, Senior Sister Yanran’s Fire Attribute Skills are more useful!"
Feeling much warmer, Lin Tianming also praised the usefulness of Wang Yanran’s Phoenix Flame Divine Shield.
No longer worried about the harsh frosty weather corroding him, Lin Tianming continued forward.
It didn’t take long for Lin Tianming to come before an ice bridge.
All around was a bottomless abyss of ice and snow, with only one ice bridge available for Lin Tianming to continue forward.
In front of the ice bridge, there was also a stele frozen in solid ice, inscribed with a long-lost type of script.
Relying on the theoretical knowledge he’d learned at the Awakener Preparatory Academy, Lin Tianming could still recognize the characters on it.
Lin Tianming murmured the name of the bridge: "Nether Cold Bridge..."
What he was most concerned about was that character "Nether."
Could it refer to the Netherworld?
While pondering, Lin Tianming also looked at the Nether Cold Bridge that spanned the abyss.
There were three living people on the Nether Cold Bridge.
However, the situation of these three did not look optimistic, as their feet were frozen in place.
Lin Tianming remembered Ye Qingxue mentioning that on the first day the Ice and Snow Secret Realm opened, quite a few people would enter seeking fortunes.
It seems these three were the other explorers aside from him and Ye Qingxue.
"Darn it! Although I possess an Ice Attribute Superpower, walking on this Nether Cold Bridge is still very difficult. I hadn’t walked half the length of the bridge when my feet got frozen!"
"It’s over! That terrifying Extreme Ice Power is still creeping upwards, if this continues, my whole body will be frozen here!"
"Quickly, think of something! We came here to find fortune; I certainly don’t want to die here!"
Under Lin Tianming’s watch, the ice that froze those three was visibly creeping upward.
In just a few seconds, the ice that crept up from below had reached their waists, and in a few seconds, they would be completely frozen.
Lin Tianming hesitated, then stepped onto the Nether Cold Bridge.
As soon as he stepped onto the Nether Cold Bridge, Lin Tianming felt an extremely intense Cold Ice Power furiously assaulting his Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, attempting to freeze him in place just like the three ahead.
Luckily, the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, a growth skill from the Divine Dao Domain, granted Lin Tianming tremendous defensive power at Level 16, temporarily resisting the more intense Extreme Ice Power from the Nether Cold Bridge.
At the same time, the three people ahead of Lin Tianming had already been frozen into three human-shaped ice sculptures.
Their life force was also gradually diminishing after being turned into ice sculptures.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming continued forward and soon reached where the three were.
Suddenly, the entire Nether Cold Bridge violently trembled, and the unseen ice abyss below issued eerie, spine-chilling wails.
Following this, the cold air surrounding them was no longer just the Extreme Ice Power, but also exuded waves of sinister aura, as if grievances were circling around.
One after another, shadows of Dead Souls emitting Netherworld Cold Air gradually appeared before Lin Tianming, attacking him.
His pupils slightly constricted, and Lin Tianming immediately stomped down on the Nether Cold Bridge.
Thunderous Trample!
Under Lin Tianming’s Thunderous Trample, the entire Nether Cold Bridge shook even more violently.
But the surrounding Netherworld Souls attacking him were also struck, their souls scattering.
Just as he thought it was over, even more Dead Souls emitting the cold air of the Netherworld appeared, launching a new wave of attacks against Lin Tianming.
At this moment, Lin Tianming also understood the meaning of the Nether Cold Bridge; apart from the Extreme Ice Power that freezes everything, there were also Netherworld Souls carrying a sinister air roaming to claim lives.
Lin Tianming’s intuition told him that these densely cold Dead Souls were likely endless, and staying on this bridge would eventually lead to his demise.
For his own safety, Lin Tianming decided to quickly cross the bridge.
Thunderstorm Frenzy!
With the speed boost from Thunderstorm Frenzy, Lin Tianming advanced forward with even greater ferocity.
Without confronting those newly born Dead Souls directly, Lin Tianming temporarily dodged a bullet.
However, those three frozen in place were doomed.
The Dead Souls, emitting cold deathly air, pounced on their ice sculptures and gnawed at them brutally.
In just a short moment, the three were completely devoured by the Dead Souls, along with their ice sculptures.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming continued to move forward.
However, as Lin Tianming advanced, the Extreme Ice Power that seemed to freeze everything became even stronger.
Even though Lin Tianming’s Phoenix Flame Divine Shield was truly strong, it started to develop cracks.
What’s worse, in front of Lin Tianming appeared newer Dead Souls, blocking his path.
From the left, right, above, below, and even from behind where he came from, these Dead Souls surrounded him completely, from all angles.
They each emitted a chilly cold air, showing a greedy drooling look at Lin Tianming, a living person.
Accompanied by the creepy howls of the Dead Souls, all of them pounced towards Lin Tianming.
Thunderous Trample!
Spiritual Power Storm!
Lin Tianming consecutively used his two attack skills, and under the enhancement from Thunderstorm Frenzy previously, the terrifying Thunder Power spread from the center of Lin Tianming to all around.
A tornado raged with the power of Spiritual Power Ascension, protecting Lin Tianming at the eye of the storm, attacking all the incoming Dead Souls around him.
Under the power of these two high attack skills of Lin Tianming, all the Dead Souls from all directions were shattered to pieces.
Just as Lin Tianming thought to seize this opportunity to move forward, even more Dead Souls appeared around him at a faster pace.
"As long as I’m on this bridge, these Dead Souls seem to be endless!"
The Extreme Ice Power, capable of freezing everything, also grew stronger and stronger.
Accompanied by the sound of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield shattering, Lin Tianming also lost his most potent defensive skill protection.
In an instant, the Extreme Ice Power, which had been accumulating power, also froze Lin Tianming into an ice sculpture.
The thing Lin Tianming least wanted to see still happened; those newly born Dead Souls also pounced one after another towards him.
Soon, Lin Tianming, turned into an ice sculpture, was surrounded by numerous life-claiming Dead Souls.
They viciously gnawed at the ice sculpture, attempting to eat Lin Tianming along with the ice.
