Starting With 100 Million Lives
Chapter 899: The Mighty Ice Race
Originally, he didn't feel anything, but after his divine thought spread for a hundred million miles, he finally saw that the ground was sloping.
Although many places were still uneven, overall it was slightly tilted in one direction.
That is to say, the entire True Ice Realm is actually a giant ice mountain.
"Damn, how big must this mountain be?"
No surprise, the True Ice Realm wouldn't be smaller than the Immortal Realm.
Imagine if the entire Immortal Realm were just one mountain, how spectacular that would be.
Just as he planned to choose a direction to fly towards, a person charged towards him with murderous intent.
Saying it was a person is somewhat inaccurate.
Because it was an entire ice sculpture design, not the transparent kind, but rather showing a translucent pale blue.
"Ice Spirit Race?"
Brother Cheng, although he hadn't dealt with them, had heard there was such a race cultivating Ice Power in the Spirit Realm.
Over there on the Spirit Realm side, their status was similar to the Snow Spirit Race's, both considered at the bottom, with not even a Quasi-Emperor in the clan.
However, this Ice Race person before him was clearly an exception.
Not only was he strong, but strangely strong.
"Human Race?"
"Were you just provoking me?"
"Truly unaware of death!"
Although his mouth didn't move, his voice buzzed over.
And because the voice was infused with Divine Soul and Power of Rules, it even made the surrounding void slowly tremble.
That ice sculpture-like exquisite face slowly shifted, revealing killing intent.
"Yes, it's me, the great one."
Brother Cheng smiled and said, "I just arrived here, did you specially rush here to welcome me?"
"You Ice Race are really warm and hospitable, making me a little embarrassed."
This brother completely lacked awareness of having offended people.
The unfamiliar Ice Race expert on the opposite side really hadn't seen such an absurd style.
Thinking about it, he really didn't know how to respond.
Thus, he extended his right hand, an Ice Sword quickly materializing from the hilt to the tip.
Jiang Cheng's gaze inadvertently fixed.
This sword appeared temporarily formed from ice at first glance, but the faint aura emitted actually surpassed a Tier Nine Immortal Sword.
That is to say, it could very well be a Tier Ten Immortal Sword non-existent in the Immortal Realm!
He didn't know it was already considered a Tier Eleven Immortal Sword.
"Die!"
The Ice Race expert on the opposite side directly launched an attack.
The surging Ice Power was like a storm, striking straight at Jiang Cheng.
Brother Cheng certainly wouldn't resist.
He hurriedly summoned his Tier Nine Immortal Sword, simultaneously activating his Profound Pattern and Brand, charging forward.
Upon activating, he discovered that all Brands currently usable were only Ice Brand.
Because there was only Ice Origin here, it didn't support the deployment of other rule brands.
However, the Profound Pattern could still be used 50 times.
Boom!
The first strike from both sides officially collided.
The 50 Profound Patterns were immediately dissolved by at least 30 by the Ice Power.
Subsequently, other Profound Patterns rapidly disintegrated.
In just a blink, only Speed, Water Element, and Power's Profound Pattern remained.
The Ice Race person on the opposite side was obviously surprised.
He was the first to kill here because he was the strongest existence within a range of a hundred million miles.
Upon seeing Jiang Cheng's not so high apparent realm, he didn't think much of it.
Who would have thought the opponent could withstand his first strike.
Hoo!
The Ice Sword in his hand spun, and the previously exhausted Ice Power once again spread and grew, as if possessing life.
In the void, an ice sculpture forest appeared out of thin air.
Even, trees and flowers could be seen continuously growing…
Under the expansion of that forest, Jiang Sect Leader's Speed's Profound Pattern and Water's Profound Pattern rapidly collapsed.
Finally left was only the Ninth Layer of Power's Profound Pattern.
"Open!"
He wielded the Immortal Sword, the Tier Ten Immortal Thousand Splendor Sword Scripture executed.
The ice forest collapsed with a thunderous sound, large powder particles spread through the sky, covering most of the light.
And those other approaching experts of the True Ice Realm hadn't arrived yet but hastily stopped.
Among them were Ice Race and Human Race people.
Feeling the terrifying tremor, staring at the pervasive ice mist, each displayed an expression of fear.
"Unexpectedly, the Lord himself made a move!"
"Hahaha, wonder whose eyes are not sharp enough, to dare to recklessly spy."
"Spying on others could be excused, but even including the Lord, that's wanting to die."
"We don't need to go up."
"That guy with dull eyes is certainly doomed!"
While they were discussing, the Ice Race Lord over here was incredibly shocked.
"How could you possibly withstand this strike?"
The person opposite was clearly just at Emperor Realm First Layer, while he was already at Emperor Realm Fourth Layer!
Every difference in a layer within Emperor Realm counts as a Great Realm.
In this True Ice Realm, breaking through to Immortal Emperor is not the ceiling.
They could continue to improve rule realm and Immortal Power cultivation by comprehending origins.
Additionally, Immortal Soul and Immortal Body could continue full-scale enhancements.
Therefore, the disparity in power is vast.
Most of the Emperor Realm in the Immortal Realm side actually only count as Emperor Realm First Layer here,
While Ancient Demon Emperors like Cyan Dragon and Ice Phoenix, in terms of combat power can be considered Emperor Realm Second Layer.
This is actually already very remarkable.
After all, figures like Cyan Dragon, Ice Phoenix, and Azure Dragon, though having a higher rule heart integration, are still subject to plane constraints.
Their total Immortal Power, Demon Soul realm, Demon Body strength, and other aspects are still limited by the plane.
In such conditions, to have breakthrough Immortal Realm ceiling Emperor Realm Second Layer combat power is actually very extraordinary.
On the Immortal Realm side, only one person has reached Emperor Realm Third Layer.
That person is Mang Ye.
Now, the person Jiang Cheng encountered is Emperor Realm Fourth Layer, with weapons also superior by two tiers.
And being in this True Ice Realm, he couldn't borrow the power of other rule hearts, being correspondingly weakened quite a bit.
This was completely sky-high difficulty.
If it weren't for Power's Profound Pattern reaching Ninth Layer, rule level even surpassing that of the Ice Race person's realm, he would've already been dead.
But in such situations, the battle inevitably remains exceedingly difficult.
Both sides quickly used all their combat power.
When Brother Cheng summoned the Immortal Soul, he startlingly found the opponent's Immortal Soul also evolving towards Jade Soul, with progress at least at 20%.
This was stronger than his own 7%.
If not for his Immortal Soul's quality transcending Ten Thousand Ancient, being fundamentally stronger than that Ice Race person, merely this aspect alone he would've lost.
Even so, under the one wave after another of Ice Power bombardment, he gradually became powerless to continue.
The Power's Profound Pattern level being high, though, how much strength it can exert still depends on one's own Profound Essence accumulation realm.
Brother Cheng's Profound Essence realm is Emperor Profound Ninth Layer, which in True Ice Realm stands as the level of Emperor Realm First Layer.
So the opponent considered him not as late-stage Quasi-Emperor but as Emperor Realm First Layer.
In such circumstances, even if he could forcefully wield 50 Profound Patterns, he still is limited by his inherently low realm, appearing as insufficient power.
In the end, after experiencing a life-and-death battle, he finally met his desired end and perished.
