After the dominant display of unrivalled strength by Anna not only were the opposing Allied Army completely crushed but even the various factions in Twilight Zone understood the gap between them and the Enforcer faction.

Let alone Anna, even the group of Rank3s in the Enforcer faction is more than enough to completely eradicated them and as for Leylin, it's better off not thinking about him, he was simply an existence at the level of God for them.

All the academies and factions started to brainstorm ideas to latch onto the thighs of this dominant group and dodge a crippling fate, This group not only houses numerous Rank 3s but also two Rank 4 like Anna and Ivy. From the way Ivy addresses Anna it's easy to speculate her status too.

And this is just their surface strength as for their true powers no one dares to think hence, All the academies immediately dissolved willfully and sworn their allegiance to the commands of Nature's Alliance.

The allied armies of the other races were completely exterminated.

The Enforcer armies already broken through the dwarves' palace and mechanical capital of the gnomes. All of them enslaved. Now except for humans and elvens all other races were merely servants.

The terror of a Morning Star was immense. After Anna was done showing off her power, the other races had learnt the meaning of overwhelming despair.

Though conspiring together had raised their strength to a certain extent, nothing could be done about a disparity as wide as the distance between the heavens and the earth.

Hence, the humans had quickly unified the area, and it was all under Leylin who has yet to make any move!

The foreign races, who had lost many powerful commanders, could not resist the humans' attacks at all.

The elvens due to their Great matriarch good decision are now a respected race even a nobility in the Twilight Zone.

This roller coaster ride of up and down full of bloody battles and display of awe inspiring terrorizing strength was most closely observed by Emilia too who witness the rise and fall of multiple races and the fate of losers and glory of kings.

The pressure she beared psychologically cannot be expressed in words but through this endeavor she matured a lot. She was still cheerful and playful continuing to spend her time with Anger after the situation stabilized, but the occasional misty gaze of confusion followed by radiance of comprehension from her Teachers guidance couldn't be more obvious for Anna and others to see. She achieved great understanding of herself as even her somewhat unruly spiritual force refined and if she were to practice an advanced meditation technique Emilia may breakthrough to Offical Magus in a few weeks!

Leylin has also helped her by utilizing the special body constitution of his former partner in crime Joanna to slightly modify Emilia powers and increase her unique radiation multifold as she even gained some traits of the Ancient tribe. Leylin conducted some thorough studies and experiment on this body constitution which was considered one of the twelve top-grade bodies written down in ancient records.

Through this Emilia can experience vigorous increase in ability to attract energy particles with modifications made on her body and soul. Obviously such a procedure was extremely difficult but for Leylin it was child's play he actually did something similar to this when he previously helped his saint knights to evolve into bloodline knight right here in Twilight Zone.

He was only a peak Crystal Phase Rank 3 Magus then and now he is a lofty Rank 6 Breaking Dawn, an existence which excels at the knowledge and understanding of soul.

After full utilization Emilia body would turn into a gigantic magnet, attracting the free energy particles in the air. It would form a mysterious circuit in her body, allowing her spiritual and magic power to replenish itself continuously. It would even rise and breaking through a bottleneck would be even easier.

.....

In the snow-white passageway, Leylin had his hands behind his back, surveying the surroundings with interest as he glanced at his stats.

[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 6 Warlock, Bloodline: Adhishesh(rank 6). Strength:201.8 Agility: 199.7, Vitality: 304.2, Spiritual force: 4798.5, Magic power: 4798 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force) Soul force: 479, State of soul - Initial Breaking Dawn.]

"The special mediation state has been quite rewarding!" Leylin thought, his eyes still sizing up the ice on the walls, as if all of Twilight Zone was not as important as this piece of ice.

Through the slightest of comprehension of understanding and meaning of law, Leylin has received bountiful rewards since his stats has gained a boost even without any use of special treasure or resources.

For a Breaking Dawn and even for other lower ranked Magus, as the stats increases the body reaches the bottleneck of how much it can grow. Similarly the growth inducted from soul force also has a limit like how a Rank 3 Magus would fall short against a Morning Star due to lack of both soul force and a body which has received baptism from soul force, the Breaking Dawn Magus would also hit a bottleneck which cannot be broken through by soul force as a more potent source of power is needed.

This source of strength or energy is the astral laws which changes the body into a law body upon complete comprehension pushing the Magus physical and spiritual stats to an unbelievable heights. Leylin himself is very lucky because he can gain slight understanding of laws even in his immature body which thrusts the growth of his bloodline, physical body traits, spiritual force, soul force etc to another level.

Walking through the icy tunnels, Leylin came before a rift where large amounts of chilling winds surged out, even having attacks from icy blades and the like.

Leylin sized up the cave, looking expressionless. This was the entrance to the Icy Cave, but its appearance had changed drastically. Terrifyingly chilly storms surged within, so cold that even rank 2 Magi could not hold on for long. Things like having acolytes practising inside was naturally not possible anymore.

Around eight decades ago, the storms inside the Icy Cave grew increasingly violent. First, the acolytes could not take it anymore, and after that, even the guard Magi had no choice to leave and abandon this area. Based on the scanning, the icy caves' icy radiation has already reached dragon-grade! Even rank 3s cannot enter the place anymore.

This is the world stemming from the radiation caused by the blood of the female bronze giant from the Icy World. This miniature version of the Icy World was vast and full of dangers, a place not to be entered at rank 3 even.

And by the looks of it, this world of ice was growing larger. The blood of a being that has grasped laws is this powerful even after death!

Leylin eyes emitted blue rays as he peered through the darkness of the caves and into its depths.

With the howling of the winds from both sides, Leylin jumped inside.

At this moment, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded out. [Beep! Ambient temperatures dropping rapidly. Activating real time detection.] [Current temperature: 173 Kelvin… 123 Kelvin…] The number in the field indicating temperature dropped continuously, eventually even dropping below absolute zero!

Terrifying cold covered the area, and even spacetime seemed to freeze over. The place was bathed in blue light.

Leylin's didn't deploy any means of protection because his physical body was more than capable of withstanding the coldness with ease.

The ground he was walking on was blue, the rigid ice as glossy as a mirror and yet surpassing even many magic alloys in terms of hardness.

The A.I. Chip's prompt sounded again. [Beep! Detected icy radiation. 69% similar to radiation in database from the Icy Jade Scorpion.]

"I haven't seen an alive Icy Jade Scorpion before, only Lancy and others captured then previously." Leylin walked forward, in the past he has only conducted experiment on Icy Jade Scorpion but never entered the caves himself.

But he had all the data recorded by Lancy and others including the map, Leylin looked at the topographic map that had been stored inside the A.I. Chip's database. It was evident that the terrain of the Icy Cave was similar to before, but the surface now had a much firmer layer of blue ice on top, and many creatures had been affected.

*Chik chik…* Not far away, a being called out, and the A.I. Chip immediately sent a reading. Leylin's expression remained stoic as he walked over.

In front of him now was a creature he was familiar with from all the experiment— an Icy Jade Scorpion!

Compared with the elite Icy Jade Scorpion in the database, what appeared in front of Leylin was several times larger, and the strength of its energy had reached rank 2!

Even the female face on its back seemed more vivid.

*Chik chik!* The foraging Icy Jade Scorpion saw Leylin, and immediately lifted its two giant claws. The stinger of the large beast swayed as it positioned itself, ready to attack.

"Want to be my chariot." Leylin laughed at the sight, and a fiery shadow appeared on the back of the Icy Jade Scorpion.

*Chik chik!* The scorpion tried to struggle, but a palm with a terrifying energy and intent covered its head.

The intent in the palm immediately smashed apart all resistance, and the large Icy Jade Scorpion crouched down. From this person's body, it seemed to feel a familiar and amiable energy that belonged to an emperor.

"Let's go!" Leylin commanded, and the Icy Jade Scorpion immediately stood up, carrying Leylin on its back and running ahead. Leylin would definitely be much faster if he walked by himself or flied but he was quite interesting in riding these Icy Jade Scorpion whose body were designed to run fast in the snow.

In the frosty world of ice, a green figure carried a black dot on its back as it moved forward at an extreme speed.

It had to be said that in this underground version of the Icy World, Icy Jade Scorpions were very useful tools for transportation. Not only did they have a high tolerance for icy radiation, their limbs were like hooks, every step digging holes in the steel-like icy ground. It did not slip at all.

The large Icy Jade Scorpion was intimidating and could avoid a lot of little inconveniences. At the very least, regular beings of the world of ice would not dare provoke it.

*Thud!* A large green figure jumped up and fell on the ground, its pincers sweeping across and opening a hole in the wall, revealing deep pathways inside that had obviously been altered with time.

"Let's go!"

*Chik chik…* The large Icy Jade Scorpion whined as it brought Leylin into the depths of the world of ice.

This place was out of the bounds of the map he possessed and had many dead ends filled with unknown mysteries. Of course, there was also danger!

*Whoosh…* The chilly gale howled as it accompanied the Icy Jade Scorpion deeper in, the surrounding temperatures lowering continuously. The ferocious icy radiation became even more violent.

A green luster began to form on the shell of the Icy Jade Scorpion; even it was starting to find it difficult to withstand the temperature.

The tremendous darkness completely shrouded the region, and only the green light from the Icy Jade Scorpion's body could light up the path ahead.

Pairs of large eyes were filled with bloodthirst and greed as they appeared around Leylin like flames hidden in the night.

*Chik chik…* The large Icy Jade Scorpion did not really want to move forward anymore. It was merely a rank 2 creature, and while it was considered powerful in Twilight Zone, it was nothing in the world of ice that was deep within.

Any of the creatures shrouded in the darkness could capture and kill it easily. Normally, the Icy Jade Scorpion would scurry away in retreat, but right now it was quite confident. It was not alone now, and its owner possessed a terrifying power!

"Rank 2 and 3 creatures?" Leylin, who was sitting on the Icy Jade Scorpion's back, suddenly snickered in amusement.

Though these creatures didn't seem like much to him, they would definitely be a disaster for the Twilight Zone if they ever left the Icy Cave.

Rank 2 Magi were already considered powerful in Twilight Zone, while rank 3s were rulers. If they were to see the world of ice, this miniature version of the Icy World, their eyes would probably fall out of their sockets.

Leylin shook his head, the void behind him distorting and exerting a terrifying pressure. The air became unusually thick as if someone placed the air with lead and an imaginary phantom of a terrifying snake that was tens of thousands of metres long came into view, releasing a leisure regal presence watching the world in disdain.

Winds surged, bringing with them the might of an ancient being suppressing the world as they spread in all directions. The spying eyes were immediately filled with fear, and the sounds of footsteps and bumping sounded. Large numbers of eyes quickly retreated, bloody battles occurring in the darkness just for the escape route. Explosions and shrieks of horror sounded everywhere.

No matter how intense these battles were, none of the icy creatures dared take another glimpse in Leylin's direction.

"Hmm" Leylin gazed downwards at the Icy Jade Scorpion under him. It had lain on the ground the moment the serpent figure appeared, and would not get up no matter what.

"Well the journey was short but you were a good ride, now get lost."

*Chik chik! Chik chik!* The Icy Jade Scorpion that had been lying on the ground suddenly got up, and began to run like lightning.

Strong winds constantly blew at Leylin's ears, as he looked in amusement at the running scorpion.

Explosions boomed as a large amount of icy rocks flew into the sky. A layer of ice broke from the top, and a black figure jumped through the hole and landed firmly on the ground.

"It seems like I have came to a hill station for vacation or something.!" Leylin looked over the surroundings and thought with a slight smirk, with his current strength it would not be wrong to assume so.
