Chapter 1185  : Ice! Xuan Ice! Essence of Ice!

“What should we do?” The group looked at each other, their faces all filled with the same question.

These were all experts, and even the weakest ones among them were Saint level experts. There were even Saint Venerable level experts, but even they were trapped and unable to move at all! If such a situation was known to the outside world, it would definitely spread and turn into a colossal joke.

But this joke was actually reality!

In just that short moment of hesitation, the ice transformed further, turning crystalline color like jade with a speed visible to the naked eye.

The moment this color appeared, it meant this was not just extremely frigid ice. It was now Xuan Ice! The water that’d frozen just a moment ago, had in this short time, turned to regular ice, and then to Xuan Ice that normally would only be formed after extremely frigid ice condensed for over 10,000 years!

This had been achieved at an extremely accelerated rate!

But the transformation actually still hadn’t ended. It wasn’t just the water transforming; the walls of the pit were also becoming harder and harder, compressing and increasing the pressure on the huge piece of Xuan Ice!

And under that pressure, the ice was turning harder still!

The most shocking and amazing transformation was still appearing in everyone’s eyes!

The Xuan Ice quickly took form and its color became more and more dazzling, and clearer and clearer. At the same time, it began to shrink and become more compact. Towards the end, a giant piece of Xuan Ice seemed to have disappeared, and looking down from above, the 40 something people seemed to be suspended in midair!

Water, ice, Xuan Ice; all of these had completely vanished!

But everyone could clearly sense that the ice had not disappeared, only transformed into something else. This was something that everyone had only heard of before, but never seen—Essence of Ice!

Essence of Ice was literally the essence of frost and ice. Even the ice on the peaks of ancient mountains would not necessarily be able to birth a piece of Essence of Ice the size of a human head. But right now, with just a wave of Jun Mo Xie’s hand, a piece of giant Essence of Ice several hundred zhang was created!

Such a magical ability was truly able to be called the power of creation!

That was the Essence of Ice, a priceless treasure, ah!

If a fist-sized Essence of Ice was melded with metal and refined by an expert smith, the weapon created would definitely be an unbreakable divine weapon that could cut through metal like mud. Even if a normal person without a shred of Xuan cultivation picked it up, he would still be able to cut through a piece of iron refined a hundred times.

A blade made completely with Essence of Ice would be even more amazing!

The moment the sword left its sheath, the sky and earth would freeze into an icy land!

But right now, this Essence of Ice that most people regarded as a legendary natural treasure, had actually been created in such a giant piece before everyone’s eyes! Was this a beautiful dream or a nightmare?

As the Essence of Ice appeared, all the transformation finally came to an end!

No matter what that meant, this Essence of Ice that people dreamed for was undoubtedly a nightmare!

The people stuck inside could not move at all!

That was the legendary Essence of Ice, something that was stronger and sharper than any divine weapons! If any of the 40 people made any rash movements, the other 39 would suffer incomparable pain as though countless swords were piercing their body.

Even with their powerful bodies, they could not withstand that kind of pain!

If it were in another place, these 40 people could still attempt to release their energy at the same time to break out of the ice and escape. This might require precise timing and calculations, but it wasn’t anything difficult for these peak experts. It might not be possible to avoid any damage, but the large majority of them would still be able to escape safely.

But the problem right now was that this huge piece of Essence of Ice was situated deep inside a giant pit, compacted from all sides. The walls around the ice were even harder than the ice itself! If the 40 of them wanted to burst out together, the only possibility was for them to destroy the ice and the walls together, blasting the ground itself away, before they truly had the chance to escape!

Although everyone was an expert, they did not have that kind of confidence.

If that failed, each person must withstand the combined attack rebounding of the other 39 people!

The result would be extremely simple. The 40 of them would turn into a pile of pounded flesh in the same instant!

No one would be the exception!

And such extreme freezing power made sure that even a Saint Venerable’s Holy Infant might not be able to escape!

Right now, the only thing they could do was to observe and wait for rescue!

Because there weren’t any other methods!

Their only option was to wait for Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen to obtain victory first, before coming up with a way to bring them out.

After all, they still weren’t in mortal danger for the time being.

Although they couldn’t go out for the time being, as long as they did not make any rash actions while being stuck in there, it wasn’t a problem for them to remain there for up to half a month.

With Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen’s Saint Monarch strength, they would definitely be able to deal with Jun Mo Xie and Tian Fa’s Xuan Beasts without much trouble. At that time, whether they slowly broke apart the ice or forced Jun Mo Xie to dispel the Essence of Ice to free them, it would be a simple affair.

As they thought til here, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But what they didn’t know was that this was actually only the starter course that Jun Mo Xie had prepared for them. Jun Mo Xie’s true killing attack was still falling from the sky, only beginning to reach them now.

The Flame of Primal Chaos was the true killing blow. Although the Xuan Ice and Essence of Ice was formidable, they only had one use, which was to trap and control the movements of these experts!

The Flame of Primal Chaos that was falling from the sky did not cover a huge area, and it was falling very slowly, like drifting snow.

With this kind of small area of effect and attack speed, any formidable expert above the Venerable realm would be able to dodge it with ease. The threat was limited, since it would be useless if it couldn’t hit the enemy!

But if the targets could not move, it would be a completely different matter. As for the range, it just needed to be the same area as the Xuan Ice!

It was enough to guarantee death!

The Flame of Primal Chaos fell down, covering everything entirely completely without any blind spots!

Truthfully, this hundred zhang wide Flame of Primal Chaos rain that Jun Mo Xie had made was already the limit of his abilities. No, this was the entirety of the power of the Hongjun Pagoda that he could utilize at this point!

Xia Chang Tian and Jun Mo Xie, these two Saint Monarchs could be said to be angered so badly by Jun Mo Xie that they were spouting fumes from their seven orifices. Just when they were about to attack, they were met with a sudden inferno, followed by torrents of water that fell from the sky. Following that, everything fell out of their control!

First, a wide pit with unfathomable depths appeared under the feet, and nearly all their brothers fell into it.

The two’s cultivation was the highest, and they still managed to hold their footing in the air when the ground under their feet suddenly disappeared. Three of the Saint Venerables and two Saint Emperors managed to react quickly enough despite not having the same abilities as them, moving out of the range of the pit. If they hadn’t reacted quickly enough, even if they didn’t fall into the pit, they would still be washed down by the water!

Because of this sudden moment, 40 on their side had already disappeared!

“Jun Mo Xie! What kind of tricks are you playing?” Xia Chang Tian cursed as he found his footing in the sky. “To actually use this kind of underhanded methods to scheme against us; such a despicable person like you is actually fit to proclaim yourself as an overlord of your generation?”

“Overlord? I’ve never said anything about wanting to be an overlord!” Jun Mo Xie’s voice drifted over. “Xia Chang Tian, the only thing I want now is to seek justice, so that my brothers can shut their eyes in peace in the underworld! That is all.”

The reason that Xia Chang Tian had cursed so loudly right then was because he hoped to draw Jun Mo Xie into speaking, before catching him. This fellow was too sly, to actually use some kind of stealth technique the moment the fight started... If they couldn’t even see him, how could they fight?

Although Xia Chang Tian’s cultivation was high, he was not Qiao Ying and did not have the All Seeing Eye. In truth, Young Master Jun’s recent improvements were so great that even if Qiao Ying were here, she might not be able to see through his Yin Yang Escape art!

And as he wished, Jun Mo Xie had spoken. However, his voice was ethereal, seeming to come from every direction. Even Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen with their Saint Monarch cultivation could not pinpoint his direction...

That was truly strange!

In the sky, a dense column of black flames fell down gracefully. Xia Chang Tian also did not place much thought to these weak looking things. Instead, he was looking around carefully, trying to discover Jun Mo Xie’s trace!

Young Master Jun was not only in the Yin Yang Escape void state—he had also hidden his body in the Hongjun Pagoda, only poking out a head to speak. It was natural that Xia Chang Tian couldn’t find him.

However, Young Master Jun’s condition was not exactly great as well! This was the first time he’d used the Power of the Five Elements to such a heavy extent, unleashing them fully without holding anything back. That alone had caused his Xuan Qi to be greatly drained until he couldn’t endure and had to merge his spiritual sense with the Hongjun Pagoda, using the power of the Hongjun Pagoda to finish freezing the water, turning it into Xuan Ice and into Essence of Ice!

Immediately following that, he’d drawn out the Flame of Primal Chaos, throwing it out without a care!

And even with his spiritual sense merged with the Hongjun Pagoda, this was all the Flame of Primal Chaos he could conjure! Anymore, and Jun Mo Xie would not be able to bear it. Even if Jun Mo Xie wanted to continue, the Hongjun Pagoda would stop him. Because Jun Mo Xie’s current strength was only enough to wield this amount of the Hongjun Pagoda’s power. If he forced himself, he would instead suffer a backlash. And the results of that backlash would be a complete destruction of his body and soul!

However, this was sufficient for now!

It was very efficient!

Jun Mo Xie’s face was pale, and blood hung on his lips as he looked coldly at the huge pit in the ground!

Is this very unbearable?!

The truly unbearable stuff is right behind!

Anticipate it patiently!
