Space-Rending Freezing Strike

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

In the snowy world, sword lights occasionally flashed, sweeping away the surrounding raging snow, and palm prints were sometimes struck out, instantly clearing a large area.

Only in that brief moment of clarity could the Hongya Cave Master catch a glimpse of the white-clothed figure already integrated into the snowdrift.

The originally clear Snowy Plains had completely fallen into a violent snowstorm due to the battle between the two, with the raging blizzard shrouding this cold ice field.

"Snowdrift Swordplay, Myriad Miles of Snow Drifting!"

The chilling swordlight completely merged with the surrounding wind and snow, bombarding the space around the Hongya Cave Master from all directions.

The Hongya Cave Master's expression changed slightly upon seeing this. In the next moment, violent Origin Power continuously surged from his hands, bombarding the surroundings.

"Boom!"

The violent wind and snow collided with the unrestrained Origin Power, instantly exploding and making the already blurred vision even more chaotic.

Lin Xuan tightly closed his eyes, but his 'Mind's Eye' was constantly paying attention to the Hongya Cave Master's position. The sword in his hand had been completely covered in a Chaos color at some point.

"Whoosh!"

In the next instant, as Lin Xuan's wrist turned, the long sword split through the wind and snow, carrying a Chaos aura, and went straight to the Hongya Cave Master, slashing directly at his face.

The biting cold made the Hongya Cave Master's hair stand on end. His hands quickly mobilized all the Origin Power in his body, striking forward.

"Boom!"

The violent Origin Power suddenly exploded, and the powerful force seemed to want to hinder the long sword from advancing. However, under that special Chaos aura, all the power began to become chaotic when approaching the long sword, collapsing without being attacked.

Although the Chaos aura was also consumed a lot by that powerful Origin Power, the remaining Chaos power still surged into the Hongya Cave Master's body through the wound on the Hongya Cave Master's palm as the long sword passed.

As soon as the Chaos aura entered his body, the Hongya Cave Master felt that his Origin Power began to show signs of losing control. He quickly separated part of his mind to suppress the out-of-control Origin Power in his body. At the same time, he instantly retreated.

But when the Hongya Cave Master saw that the situation was not good and knew to retreat, Lin Xuan naturally would not give the Hongya Cave Master a chance to adjust his state. On the long sword in his hand, ice-blue wind and snow power continuously gathered on the blade, and the aura of Death and destruction even made the surrounding space faintly show signs of being torn apart.

"Space-Rending Freezing Strike!"

The power of space was torn apart, and Lin Xuan's figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already above the Hongya Cave Master's head.

Grasping the sharp sword in his hands tightly, Lin Xuan's eyes were completely filled with ice-blue wind and snow power. The long sword carried an indomitable, endless destructive wind, snow, and ice power, slashing down towards the Hongya Cave Master's head.

The Hongya Cave Master, who was retreating, suddenly looked up, looked at Lin Xuan who had dispelled all the surrounding wind and snow, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes as he felt the sharp Sword Qi on the long sword.

In the next instant, a touch of fierce madness appeared in the Hongya Cave Master's eyes, and then quickly occupied the entire eye.

"Roar!"

A hoarse beast roar came from the Hongya Cave Master's mouth. Immediately afterwards, the black robe on the Hongya Cave Master's body instantly exploded. On his bare arms, the originally fair skin with a hint of ruddy color was covered with pitch-black color in the blink of an eye.

Not only his hands, but also his upper body was also dyed with pitch-black and evil colors, and there were many strange lines. His arms were densely covered with a row of ferocious barbs.

In the blink of an eye, the original Hongya Cave Master had turned into a ferocious and evil monster, looking fierce and evil, making people feel disgusted unconsciously.

The greatly changed Hongya Cave Master crossed his arms above his head. In the next moment, the ice-blue long sword, carrying a terrifying swordmomentum, slashed down mightily.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

First, an extremely terrifying energy erupted from under the sword. The power of freezing, exuding an aura of destruction, caused the ice and snow in the entire space to explode the moment it erupted.

But immediately afterward, the powerful force on the long sword immediately suppressed the Hongya Cave Master, directly smashing the Hongya Cave Master into the earth, creating a huge pit on the ground.

Lin Xuan gripped the Divine Sword in his hand tightly, his arms already beginning to tremble. Although his eyes were tightly closed, his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Although he had smashed the Hongya Cave Master onto the Snowy Plains with one sword, Lin Xuan knew that the Hongya Cave Master was not injured. In fact, he was about to lose control of his opponent.

The Hongya Cave Master, kneeling on the Snowy Plains, had an ice-blue long sword embedded in his arms. Yes, embedded in them, the blade penetrating half a finger deep into the bone.

Protected by his arms, the originally lowered head slowly lifted. A sinister smile appeared on the Hongya Cave Master's black face, covered in strange patterns, and his rows of snow-white teeth were somewhat eerie.

"The Sword Saint's strength is indeed formidable. With only the strength of the Lesser Death Profound Realm, he actually possesses the combat power of a Revolving Wheel Realm expert. Truly terrifying!"

Lin Xuan, with both hands pressing down on the long sword, opened his eyes and stared at the Hongya Cave Master's face. In the next moment, his pupils contracted slightly, and an extremely terrifying force was constantly coming from the long sword.

Lin Xuan did not answer the Hongya Cave Master with words. He had always disliked words. His response to the Hongya Cave Master was a kick to his chest the moment he released his hands.

Using the force of that kick, Lin Xuan instantly retreated backward. At the same time, the sword was also thrown towards Lin Xuan by the Hongya Cave Master's power, and Lin Xuan caught it in mid-air.

His figure flipped several times in the air, dissipating all the force. Lin Xuan landed lightly on the ground, then, with a twist of his wrist, gently waved the long sword, pointing it diagonally at the ground.

On the other side, the Hongya Cave Master, who had been kicked away, got up from the ground, nonchalantly patted his exposed chest, then lowered his head to look at the wounds on his arms, where even the Otherworldly Demonic Qi was temporarily difficult to eliminate.

He raised his head, grinned at Lin Xuan, and his pair of eyes, which had turned scarlet at some unknown time, stared intently at the long sword in Lin Xuan's hand. The Hongya Cave Master was not in a hurry to attack, but instead said with a smile.

"Sword Saint, aren't you curious as to why the Ice Ancestor Symbol would suddenly reveal its trace at this time?"

Lin Xuan remained silent upon hearing this. This matter required almost no thought. It was the Demon Prison's scheme, but they could not let the Ancestor Symbol go.

Moreover, now that both sides' top experts were not present, there were only Revolving Wheel Realm experts, at most ordinary Reincarnation Realm combat power. For the current Tianxuan Continent side, there was still an advantage, because the Demon Prison could not tamper with the Ancestor Symbol, let alone take it away.

If they waited until both sides' experts had recovered, with the strength of those top experts in the Demon Prison, and the tenacious vitality of the Otherworldly Demons, they would inevitably forcibly plunder the Ice Ancestor Symbol.

The Seven Kings Hall chose to use the Ice Ancestor Symbol as bait because it currently had no way to deal with the Ice Ancestor Symbol, and the Ice Ancestor Symbol was in the Northern Xuan Region, and there was also the Heaven Gate suppressing it. The Tianxuan Continent would discover it sooner or later, so they had no choice but to use it as bait to maximize their benefits.

Seeing that Lin Xuan did not speak, the Hongya Cave Master's pair of scarlet eyes revealed even more smug and arrogant expressions, completely lacking the composure and calmness he had at the beginning. From the moment the Otherworldly Demonic Qi completely erupted within his body, the Hongya Cave Master's wisdom had already been mostly destroyed.

The Otherworldly Demon race had an extremely special characteristic. All Otherworldly Demons with low bloodlines would obey the orders of Otherworldly Demons with high bloodlines. Therefore, once they were transformed into Otherworldly Demons, most of their wisdom would be destroyed.

The Yuan Gate had been able to stand firm until now because none of the Yuan Gate's Demonic Contamination high-level members had completely detonated the Otherworldly Demonic Qi in their bodies, but even so, their intelligence had been affected to varying degrees.

"Haha, Sword Saint, perhaps you don't know yet, this is a scheme personally set up for you by the Seven Kings Hall's Your Highness. Even if you escape from this Cave Master's hands, outside, there are still those three old, undying things from the Yuan Gate guarding you."

The Hongya Cave Master's hoarse voice revealed a hint of smugness, the scarlet light in his eyes constantly flickering, and he lightly licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue, his expression gradually becoming crazy.

"Sword Saint, why don't you surrender and let this Cave Master devour you? From then on, you and this Cave Master will become one. At that time, the Yuan Gate will also have to listen to our orders. Then, we can dominate the entire Eastern Xuan Region, Jie jie jie!! Isn't this Cave Master's proposal wonderful?"

"Boring!"

Lin Xuan said softly. He had never been obsessed with these worldly powers. The only thing that could make him constantly pursue was the demon and dao of the Sword!

"Hmm? You dare to refute this Cave Master's wonderful plan? You're courting death!"

The Hongya Cave Master, who had completely fallen into madness, instantly turned stern. In the next moment, he transformed into a dark demonic shadow and rushed towards Lin Xuan.

His five fingers spread open, and his dark and hideous fingers, like five sharp blades, grabbed towards Lin Xuan's head. But when they were half a foot away from Lin Xuan's forehead, they were blocked by a section of sword blade.

"Ding!"

The long sword struck the palm, not only emitting the sound of metal clashing, but also sparking a series of dazzling sparks.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. In the next moment, his body lowered, his wrist relaxed, and the long sword slid down, allowing the Hongya Cave Master's palm to swing forward. At the same time, his wrist turned, and the originally upright long sword went horizontal, directly slashing at the Hongya Cave Master's chest.

"Chichichi!!!"

The long sword scraped across the dark chest, bringing up a series of sparks. Even the extremely sharp Divine Sword in Lin Xuan's hand only left a long white mark on the Hongya Cave Master's chest.

The two figures passed each other, and then Lin Xuan and the Hongya Cave Master turned around at the same time, attacking their opponent once again.

On the altar, Ling Qingzhu sat cross-legged in the middle of the altar. On her forehead, the ice-blue phoenixpattern flickered slightly. Obviously, Ling Qingzhu was undergoing the Ancestor Symbol's test.

Normally, only after passing the Ancestor Symbol's test and becoming the controller of the Ancestor Symbol could one incorporate the Ancestor Symbol into their body.

But Ling Qingzhu was an exception. Because she was mistaken for the Ice Master by the Ice Ancestor Symbol, she was able to incorporate the Ancestor Symbol into her body before passing the Ancestor Symbol's test, or rather, the Ice Ancestor Symbol actively entered Ling Qingzhu's body.

Given the Ice Ancestor Symbol's initiative, the test Ling Qingzhu faced was not particularly difficult, well, in another sense, it was extremely difficult.

Because the Ice Ancestor Symbol defaulted that Ling Qingzhu was the Ice Master, and the Ice Master herself had undergone a test once. Naturally, the Ice Ancestor Symbol directly 'simplified' this test.

The original test required constant time to slowly endure, and while enduring, it was also a process of comprehending the power of the Ancestor Symbol.

For example, the lightning strikes of the Thunder Ancestor Symbol were to directly feel the power of the Thunder Ancestor Symbol through repeated lightning strikes. Although it was not comprehensive, after all, thunder also contains new life in addition to the power of destruction, the new life after destruction.

But undeniably, this method was able to comprehend a part of the Ancestor Symbol's power the fastest. If one wanted to fully comprehend the Ancestor Symbol's power, the difficulty would not be ordinary.

For Ling Qingzhu, who was participating in the test for the first time, this should have been an extremely difficult test. However, fate allowed Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan to 'dual cultivate' once, and she obtained a part of the Ice Master's insights from it.

Originally, these profound insights were extremely difficult for Ling Qingzhu to comprehend, because she did not have the Ice Ancestor Symbol and it was difficult to comprehend the power of ice.

But in the 'simplified' test of the Ice Ancestor Symbol, Ling Qingzhu, with the help of the Supreme Force, had her comprehension of the Ice Ancestor Symbol soar.

On the altar, Ying Huanhuan felt the icy aura emanating from Ling Qingzhu's body, and looked at her three thousand green strands of hair, which had transformed into ice-blue long hair, and couldn't help but smile softly.

It seemed that this time it went smoothly beyond expectations. Refining the Ice Ancestor Symbol as soon as possible could also prevent the Yuan Gate from setting up a large array at the exit and directly trapping them.

Now was not the time to officially start a war with the Yuan Gate. This battle, either don't fight, or if you fight, you must directly suppress the Yuan Gate and not allow it to sweep the Eastern Xuan Region.

Thinking of this, Ying Huanhuan subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the palm of her left hand. There, there was a special rune, like a 'Qian' character symbol, which was completely opposite to the symbol on the palm of Ling Qingzhu's right hand.

Heaven Gate! The other part of the Heaven and Earth Gate!

It was also, as far as Ying Huanhuan knew, the only divine object in the top ten of the Divine Object Ranking that was still in its peak state.

After a while, the Dark Scythe, the Great Desolate Tablet will recover its state...

"Boom boom boom!!"

Just then, the earth suddenly shook. Ying Huanhuan suddenly raised her head and looked into the distance, and then her pupils suddenly shrank.

Blizzard!
