Chapter 606: Duel with the Heavenly Extreme Realm!
Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Duel with the Heavenly Extreme Realm!
However, the experts at the entrance of Chao Tian Hall knew that her allure was not just skin-deep; her power was also extraordinarily formidable. A Heavenly Extreme realm expert, her unique constitution made her even stronger than others at the same level.
As Nu Qinghui stepped out, she fixed her gaze on Zhong Shan in the distance.
This young man had grown too quickly! A hundred years ago, when she investigated him due to Nian Youyou, he was only at the Golden Core stage. Now, in such a short time, he had reached the Tenth Level of the Imperial Extreme realm? He could even easily slay Imperial Extreme realm experts?
His growth was too fast; his luck was too great! Not only his own strength, but the empire he founded was also incredibly powerful. Now, his newly appointed legion commander was a Heavenly Extreme realm expert, allied with the Dali Heavenly Dynasty, supported by the Wolf Clan, and had unclear relations with both Nian Youyou and Zi Xun. It was as if he was favored by the heavens, carrying the fortune of the world.
But no matter how strong he was, he couldn\'t contend with the Longevity Realm. The foundation of the Longevity Realm was beyond his reach, an unshakeable force in this small world. The Longevity Realm was the most invincible existence!
Nu Qinghui\'s eyes turned cold as she stared at Zhong Shan. With Gui Shou being blocked by Wang Ku, she had to deal with Zhong Shan herself.
Kill! The killing intent in Nu Qinghui\'s eyes intensified. After killing Zhong Shan, she didn\'t care about Zi Xun\'s reaction. As for Nian Youyou\'s feelings, they were irrelevant; she had already been sent to the underworld. As long as Zhong Shan was destroyed, his soul dispersed, he wouldn\'t enter the underworld.
At that moment, the Longevity Realm elder who had tried to retrieve the Water Extermination Sword returned to the Chao Tian Hall.
"Where\'s the Water Extermination Sword?" another elder asked, frowning.
"He\'s the one who set another restriction!" the elder pointed angrily at Wang Ku, who was blocking Gui Shou.
Everyone was momentarily stunned, then looked at Wang Ku with frustration. Only Bei Qingsi showed a hint of joy.
"Daojun, as per Shen Ya Daojun\'s orders, let us handle this. If we cannot, we will seek your assistance!" the recently returned elder said, visibly angry.
Nu Qinghui gave him a strange look, nodded, and didn\'t step forward.
Another elder also nodded to him. The elder then flew into the air.
"Ice Mountain Fall, Snow God Extinguishes the World!" the elder shouted.
Immediately, nearly five thousand people dressed in white flew out from the remaining palaces, each holding a white sword, surrounding the elder in the center.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
As the elder landed, a gigantic ice mountain, three thousand zhang tall, crashed to the ground. The bone-chilling cold instantly froze countless soldiers and caused snow to fall from the sky. The sudden drop in temperature made the onlookers shiver, retreating quickly.
In just three breaths, the ground was covered in ice, with heavy snow continuously falling. The land was frozen for three thousand miles, snow imprints covering the sky.
The depth of the Longevity Realm\'s foundation was evident. The Water Branch, even without the Water Extermination Sword, still possessed this unparalleled treasure. The falling ice mountain sealed three thousand miles of land.
This ice mountain was only the base of a grand formation. All around, snow covered the area, and six thousand experts from the Longevity Realm entered, aiming to trap and kill Zhong Shan.
The terrifying snowfall gradually enveloped Zhong Shan, descending like an avalanche—fast and terrifying.
"The Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation? The legendary formation that rivals the Ten Suns Array?" someone knowledgeable exclaimed in horror.
"Is the Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation really that powerful?" another person asked.
"Of course, it\'s said that the central ice mountain is an immortal artifact. Do you think it\'s strong?"
"An immortal artifact? Impossible, are there really such things in the world?"
"You don\'t know much, do you?"
... Countless onlookers debated the scene. Whether the ice mountain was truly an immortal artifact or not, one thing was certain: it was incredibly powerful. Even Zhong Shan felt a sudden pang of unease.
Wang Ku and Gui Shou both turned to look at the immense ice mountain, now obscured by endless snow. All that was visible was the vast snowy expanse and the unending snowfall.
If the Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation was as renowned as the Ten Suns Array, it was undoubtedly formidable. The Water Branch of the Longevity Realm was exceptionally strong, with treasures like Bei Qingsi\'s white jade statue, the Water Extermination Sword, and the Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation. If one branch had this much, how much more did the other five branches possess?
Zhong Shan glanced briefly at the snow-covered ice mountain, then turned his attention back to Nu Qinghui at the entrance of the Chao Tian Hall.
"Zhong Shan, prepare to die!" came the enraged voice of the elder from within the Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation.
Since the moment Jing Xueshen died, the elder had sensed things were going wrong. With the Water Extermination Sword sealed, the elder no longer held back, quickly deploying his trump card, the immortal artifact that had been dormant for over ten thousand years, to set up the Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation!
Like the Ten Suns Array, it could trap even a Heavenly Extreme realm expert, though the key figures differed. The Ten Suns Array required ten Imperial Extreme realm experts and ten three-legged Golden Crows, while the Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation needed one Imperial Extreme realm expert and six thousand combined-stage experts.
The formation brought an avalanche. Its immense power rivaled that of a Heavenly Extreme realm expert\'s assault. Yet Zhong Shan merely smirked coldly, which infuriated the elder even more.
"Whoosh"
A strange sound echoed, and everyone looked up to see a massive tower descending from the sky. The tower stood four thousand zhang tall, radiating millions of golden rays, and landed within the snowy expanse.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The ground trembled, and a surge of golden power scattered the snow in a wide area.
"The Qi Ling Tower?" Nu Qinghui\'s eyes widened in surprise.
"The Qi Ling Tower? What\'s that?" Bing Xuan immediately asked.
"The treasure of the Great Ming Temple, the Qi Ling Tower!" Nu Qinghui frowned.
"The Great Ming Temple?" Bing Xuan had clearly never heard of it.
"You\'ll find out in time!" Nu Qinghui clearly did not want to elaborate.
The sudden appearance of the Qi Ling Tower created an imposing presence, matching the snow-covered ice mountain. Its powerful aura challenged the distant ice mountain.
"Want my father to die? You\'ll have to get past me first!"
A booming voice echoed from within the Qi Ling Tower. It was Zhong Shan\'s adopted son, Zhong Tian, his voice resonating like a great bell, echoing through the snowy expanse.
"Hum~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
A powerful Buddhist chant emanated from within the Qi Ling Tower. The sound was so strong that it caused the hearts and blood of the Longevity Realm disciples to churn. Waves of golden ripples spread across the snowy expanse, shaking the entire formation.
"There are many monks inside the tower!" a spectator exclaimed from afar.
"Indeed, there are monks on every level."
"Is this Zhong Shan\'s reinforcement?"
"How many reinforcements does Zhong Shan have?"
... The crowd buzzed with discussions.
"Who are you?" the elder within the Snow God Extinguishes the World Formation shouted.
"The one blocking you!" came Zhong Tian\'s voice from within the tower.
The Qi Ling Tower had the power to back this up. Its golden waves disrupted the formation, preventing it from trapping Zhong Shan any longer.
Zhong Shan looked up at the high platform.
"Nu Qinghui Daojun!" Zhong Shan shouted.
"It seems Shen Ya Daojun\'s calculations were correct. The Water Branch alone cannot stop you!" Nu Qinghui said calmly.
Hearing this, Bing Xuan and another Water Branch elder\'s faces darkened. But it was true—the Water Branch alone could not harm Zhong Shan.
"I don\'t want to be your enemy, and I hope you won\'t stop me!" Zhong Shan said seriously.
Zhong Shan\'s reluctance to fight Nu Qinghui stemmed from his ties with Zi Xun and Nian Youyou, not from a lack of confidence.
"The Realm Lord\'s order is final. Unless I am defeated, I will not stop. Opposing the Longevity Realm only leads to death!" Nu Qinghui replied coldly.
"I have never sought conflict with the Longevity Realm. It is you who refuse to let go! Enough talk. If you believe you can stop me, then try!" Zhong Shan said, flying upward. He sensed Shen Ya Daojun\'s determination. With Gui Shou and Nu Qinghui coming out of the Chao Tian Hall, yet his divine sense unable to penetrate it, there had to be more threats inside. He needed to rescue Bei Qingsi quickly.
Nu Qinghui laughed, her smile mocking.
"With just you?" she scoffed.
Zhong Shan ignored her, flying high into the sky.
"Hmph!" Nu Qinghui snorted.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
A thunderous sound echoed as Nu Qinghui struck out with her palm. A Heavenly Extreme realm expert\'s power far exceeded Zhong Shan\'s expectations. The strike sent Zhong Shan flying.
In mid-air, Zhong Shan\'s eyes widened. This was the power of a Heavenly Extreme realm expert? To swat him away like a fly?
A Heavenly Extreme realm expert possessed their own "Heaven." A single palm strike contained the essence of laws, carrying the might of the heavens and earth. Despite pushing his power to the limit, Zhong Shan found himself utterly outmatched.
If Zhong Shan\'s strength was only at this level, it wasn\'t just that he was outmatched; he had no chance of resistance.
The Heavenly Extreme realm was incredibly powerful!
