The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 866 - 402: Deity of the Moon, Innate Frozen Extinction Dao!
Xu Qing's voice had just fallen.
The ground of the Emperor Palace suddenly cracked with web-like patterns, and a bone-chilling cold burst forth from within.
Before Xu Qing and the slender black Divine Dog could react, they were swept into a dark vortex by an invisible force. When the light once again enveloped their vision, the howling cold wind scraped like thousands of icy blades across their cheeks, and the sky filled with snow poured down like a shattered galaxy, turning the entire space into a chaotic white purgatory.
Large snowflakes as dense as a heavy rain, each imbued with bone-chilling Netherworld coldness.
Xu Qing circulated his mana around his body, and ice crystals instantly formed on the surface of his Daoist Robe, yet he could still feel coldness seeping into his bones through his pores. The three heads of the slender black Divine Dog whimpered simultaneously, ice spikes quickly forming under its paws, and a layer of white frost covered its black fur.
More terrifyingly, the moment their Divine Sense was extended, it seemed to crash into an invisible ice wall and was torn into pieces by the blizzard, leaving only vague outlines within a few dozen miles in sight.
In this vast white chaos, bizarre icebergs loomed, resembling the bone remnants of ancient beasts in slumber.
Some were akin to wolf fangs piercing the sky, with sharp icy tips hanging ghostly shadows of incomplete freezing; others resembled mighty bronze pillars, covered in distorted runes and emitting a faint green glow; even more, were knife-edged ice peaks, producing a teeth-grinding hum in the fierce wind.
On these icebergs, countless ghostly spirits were frozen, their faces twisted and deformed in the cold ice, emitting an eerie green light.
Whenever the cold wind swept by, or snowflakes landed on them, the spirits shattered like fragile glass, instantly turning into dust, floating into bits of ice crystals, merging into this endless Cold Prison. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Every snowflake and every gust of cold wind here contained the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws of ice and snow.
They seemed to be alive, frantically tearing at the Divine Soul of the intruders. A Heavenly Immortal who inadvertently entered would gradually lose vitality under the endless erosion of snowflakes, eventually freezing into an ice sculpture, shattered into ice shards in the raging wind.
Even those seemingly motionless icebergs hid lethal intentions; even the incarnations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would instantly freeze upon touching the iceberg surface, annihilated in this cold Law.
Yet Xu Qing remained calm.
He circulated the Yin Yang Qi, a shadow of Tai Chi Diagram appearing around him, dissolving the approaching cold entirely.
But he understood that this Ice Hell was merely an appetizer, the real crisis lay deep within the blizzard — the master of this Netherworld Frozen Extinction, the true challenge he must overcome in this journey.
Xu Qing stood amidst the snowstorm, his blue robe fluttering wildly, yet his seemingly frail figure remained as stable as a rock under the onslaught of the fierce ice Law.
His gaze sharp as a blade, piercing through the swirling ice crystals, fixing on the peak of the most majestic iceberg, shaped like a colossal ice lotus.
There, a silhouette silently gathered.
She was not a physical entity, but a projection of Great Dao, composed of the purest Ice Law and a hint of Taiyin origin from Chaos.
Her graceful figure exuded an ancient loneliness and extreme cold, her face obscured as if covered by an eternal profound ice, only a pair of eyes, two flickering icy blue flames capable of freezing souls — this was a projection of the Deity of the Moon, ruler of this layer of Ice Hell.
"Those who trespass the Netherworld Forbidden Land shall face the penalty of eternal silence." A voice cold and devoid of emotion, like countless years of ice grinding against each other, directly pierced through the wind and snow, imprinting on Xu Qing's Primordial Spirit.
With those words, she gently raised her slender finger.
Buzz!
A glow, invisible and formless, yet causing the entire Ice Hell to fall into instant silence, burst from her fingertip.
This glow was not dazzling; instead, it seemed to draw away all surrounding light and heat, leaving an absolute, suffocating azure vacuum.
Where it passed, the roaring wind froze in the air, the large snowflakes became a frozen curtain of ice crystals, even the space itself emitted a strained "crack" sound, revealing web-like cracks of ice.
Innate Absolute Freeze Divine Light!
Before the Divine Light even arrived, the will to freeze all things had already descended.
The Protective Immortal Light that automatically emerged on Xu Qing's body instantly became sluggish, as if covered by a thick layer of ice, operating with difficulty.
The ice beneath his feet silently collapsed, crystallized, turning into the finest ice dust, as if even the ground supporting him lost its meaning of existence under the will of this Divine Light.
"Come on!" Xu Qing's eyes burst with spirit, instead of retreating, he stepped forward.
The overwhelming Yin Yang Five Elements Magical Power within roared into action, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, a blazing yet all-encompassing aura soaring, forcefully carving out a domain of his own within the realm of Frozen Extinction!
"Eight Diagram as the furnace, all laws amalgamated! Break!" He pointed with fingers like a sword, Yin Yang Qi swirling at the tips, evolving into the Original Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth Opening, resolutely striking towards the seemingly slow yet time-freezing Frozen Extinction Divine Light.
Tshh!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a teeth-grinding, peculiar sound like countless ice crystals thrown into a furnace and instantly vaporizing.
Where the Sword Qi of the Two Principles Extinction Sword collided with the Frozen Extinction Divine Light, a brief and bizarre point of balance formed.
The Yin Yang Qi continually eroded and decomposed the mighty force freezing time and space, while the Frozen Extinction Divine Light stubbornly corroded, encapsulating the vitality of the Yin Yang Qi.
