The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 867 - 402: Deity of the Moon, Innate Frozen Extinction Dao!

The space there twisted and fractured, then was instantly frozen, forming a terrifying vortex that continuously annihilated and was constantly sealed in ice.

The Deity of the Moon's projection's icy flame eyes flickered slightly, seeming slightly surprised that Xu Qing could directly confront her divine light.

She spread her arms, as if embracing the entire ice and snow world.

In that instant, the blizzard of the entire Ice Hell seemed to come alive. Billions of ice crystals, the howling cold wind, and even those wolf teeth, copper pillars, and dagger-like ice mountains in the distance burst forth with a sinister bluish-green light—this was the resonance of countless frozen souls' grievances and the Ice Law!

"Ancient Cold Prison, annihilate all living beings!"

A grander, more terrifying Frozen Extinction Divine Light erupted from her body.

This time, it was no longer a single beam, but like a breached ice river, or a heaven-covering extreme cold tide, carrying a terrifying will to freeze all heavens and silence all spirits, sweeping towards Xu Qing.

Where the divine light reached, space was no longer frozen but turned into a dead silent "Frozen Extinction Vacuum" where even time seemed to stop flowing.

The ice mountains caught in it silently transformed into the most primitive ice particles, not even counting as powder.

This power was infinitely close to the true origin of the Great Dao, containing a hint of the true intent of the "Frozen Extinction" Dao!

Xu Qing instantly felt doubled pressure, with the space within three meters around him violently shaking, even at the edges beginning to form dim blue ice crystals.

He felt his thoughts turning slow, as if they were trapped in the thickest ice slurry, and every thought was unimaginably difficult.

This was the most terrifying aspect of the Frozen Extinction Dao—freezing the tangible was only superficial; freezing the primordial spirit, freezing thoughts, and freezing the operation of divine skills, leading the opponent towards an absolute "stillness" and "death," was its core.

"Freezing thoughts? Freezing space-time? What an Innate Frozen Extinction!"

Xu Qing took a deep breath, as if infinite worlds were being born and destroyed inside him. He no longer tried to resist the overwhelming divine light tide with Chaos Power, his form suddenly becoming illusory.

"Yin Yang Five Elements, Innate Eight Diagrams, Circulation of Six Void, All Techniques Immune!" His silhouette flickered on the edge of the Frozen Extinction Vacuum, each flicker perilously avoiding the core erosion of the divine light, like walking in the gaps of frozen space-time.

Instead of externally resisting, his mana transformed into the purest Tao Patterns, imprinting on the void around him, engaging silently yet fiercely on the Tao Principle level with the omnipresent Frozen Extinction Law in confrontation, analysis, and assimilation!

The Deity of the Moon's projection attack grew even more fierce.

She transformed into a stream of light, like the ruler of the ice and snow world; every wave of her hand guided the vast Ice Law.

Either condensing into enormous ice spears that freeze the heavens, the pinpoint of the spear glowing dim blue enough to pierce stars; or casting countless ice crystals, each containing terrifying cold intent to freeze the primordial spirit; and at times unleashing Frozen Extinction Divine Light from the body, like an invisible heavenly blade, cutting off Xu Qing's possible routes of evasion.

Xu Qing's silhouette shuttled through the blizzard, sometimes as ethereal as smoke, sometimes as swift as thunder.

Chaos Sword Qi was unleashed wildly, either evolving into a Heaven-opening Axe to split open frozen space, or transforming into a Melting World Furnace to burn the invading cold, or condensing into an Immortal Shield to resist the erosion of divine light.

Each collision erupted into a resplendent rain of light from the collapse of Great Dao Laws, rendering the white icy hell in a bizarrely colorful light.

The battle reached a fever pitch.

Though Xu Qing could withstand, being in the opponent's domain, endlessly consumed by the infinite Ice Law and Frozen Extinction Divine Light, was not sustainable in the long run.

His eyes narrowed slightly, glancing over those bizarre ice mountains standing in the blizzard, freezing countless souls.

"So that's how it is... Borrowing the resentment of souls to increase the power of the Cold Prison, yet it also leaves a flaw!" Xu Qing realized.

The strength of this projection partly originated from the Ice Hell itself, and the power of hell in part drew from the resentment of those frozen souls.

This was both a point of power enhancement and an "anchor point" tightly linked with this world, difficult to completely transcend!

Determination flashed through his eyes.

Facing the Deity of the Moon's projection once again forming a colossal Frozen Extinction Divine Light pillar that nearly filled his vision, Xu Qing this time chose neither to dodge nor resist head-on.

He actually rushed forward to meet it!

At the instant the divine light touched his body, his hands rapidly formed seals, and the Yin Yang Five Elements Magical Power inside him operated in an unprecedented mysterious trajectory, erupting with a glow even more intense than before, not hot, but carrying an "unformed chaos, original order" primitive aura.

"Chaos Returning to Origin, All Laws Return to Ruins! Swallow for me!"

A miniature vortex, as if capable of devouring everything, formed instantly in front of him.

The heaven-destroying Frozen Extinction Divine Light pillar was forcibly dragged into that deep chaotic vortex like a whale sipping water!

The icy flame eyes of the Deity of the Moon's projection flickered intensely for the first time, revealing a sliver of "astonishment."

She could feel that her unleashed Frozen Extinction Divine Power wasn't destroyed but was forcibly absorbed into a chaotic unordered domain, capable of assimilating everything, even suppressing and decomposing that sliver of the power of the Great Dao!

At the moment when her power was being devoured, experiencing a slight lag, Xu Qing's figure vanished from the original spot like a ghostly apparition. The next instant, he appeared before a menacing wolf teeth-shaped ice mountain, where the emerald light shone the brightest!

"Break!"

Concentrating the peak strength he could muster at the moment, a simple punch landed at the base of the ice mountain! The punch, surrounded by chaotic air, wasn't for destruction but carried a strange Dao Rhyme of simultaneous "transformation" and "disintegration."

Rumble!

The massive wolf teeth ice mountain shook violently, its surface instantly covered with web-like cracks.

Countless souls frozen within the ice mountain, as if receiving the signal for liberation, emitted a silent shrill, the dense sinister emerald grievance found an outlet, crazily spewing out!

This ice mountain was precisely one of the crucial "nodes" connecting the Deity of the Moon's projection strength and the Ice Hell!

The ice mountain exploded! Countless frozen souls turned into green ice crystal dust, and the vast grievance contained within lost the constraints of the Ice Law, like an unleashed horse, instantly disrupting the surrounding pure Ice Law field.

The entire operation of the Ice Hell halted for a moment, and even the howling blizzard experienced a brief chaos.

The projection of the Deity of the Moon's figure violently fluctuated, growing blurrier.

Her connection with this world was forcibly shaken and weakened!

"Now is the time!" Xu Qing's eyes shone with divine light, locking onto the fluctuating projection core.

His fingers formed a sword, the fingertips no longer sheathed in chaotic air but condensed with the extreme sharpness to pierce through frozen extinction and penetrate illusions, a pure sword intent shot forth that seemed to sever causality and shatter laws!

"One sword—Heaven-opening!"

The Heaven-opening Axe Dao Intent evolved by the True Monarch Xiansheng was, at this moment, perfectly demonstrated by Xu Qing.

The sword light was silent but purer than that Frozen Extinction Divine Light, more overbearing!

It ignored the freezing of space, disregarded the obstruction of laws, like destiny, precisely stabbing at the core of the Deity of the Moon's projection—between those two ghostly blue flames!

"Crack... Snap..."

A barely audible yet soul-penetrating shatter sound was heard.

The movement of the Deity of the Moon's projection completely froze. Those two leaping ghostly blue flames appeared like fractured glass, showing clear cracks.

Immediately, the cracks spread rapidly across her entire body.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a silent annihilation.

The purest Ice Law constituting her body and that sliver of Taiyin origin melted rapidly like snow tossed into boiling water, re-converting back to the most primordial essence qi of the world, returning to this blizzard-ridden realm.

The terrifying intent of frozen extinction enveloping heaven and earth receded like the tide. Though the blizzard still raged, and the ice mountains remained, the dominating will that froze space-time and silenced all things had dissipated.

Xu Qing slowly retracted his fingers, standing in the blizzard, his blue robe flecked with some ice crystals, his breath fluctuating slightly, yet his gaze was deeper and brighter.

He glanced at those ice mountains that still stood, though some of the emerald luster had been lost, and the deeper shadows of the Emperor Palace in the distance.

"Innate Frozen Extinction, truly lives up to its name, worthy of being one of the four End Paths! And this was only a trace of the Dao's projection..."
