A dazzling five-colored flame swept across the sky, with terrifying temperatures causing the very fabric of space to warp and twist. The sight was blurred as if veiled by a shimmering veil. Facing the fearsome five-colored flame, countless people in Ye City paled, even though they were shielded by the fire curtain; they could still feel the terrifying and violent force that sent shivers down their spines. They couldn’t imagine what it would be like if they were in the position of the Sky Serpent and the others.
No one had experienced this firsthand, so no one really knew, but even the most foolish person could tell that it would not be a pleasant experience at all. As everyone expected, within the massive light array, the faces of the Sky Serpent and his companions turned extremely grim. The destructive power hidden within those dazzling flames was like a venomous needle concealed in the dark, making them shiver in fear.
“Old Snake, what should we do?” Bing Xuan swallowed hard, his face showing a hint of panic. The five-colored flame sea was too terrifying. If they were to fall into it, apart from the Sky Serpent, he and Bing Hua would not fare well. Their innate cold energy was being completely suppressed by the five-colored flames. If they didn’t take action, once the flames reached them, it would be their demise.
“Panicking for what?” The Sky Serpent’s face darkened, and he reprimanded sharply, “Just because he has an array, does that mean our Ice River Valley is without any? Form the Ice River Array! This brat’s burst of power is indeed strong, but it cannot last long. Once the Heavenly Fire Triad Change’s time limit is up, this array will naturally collapse. When that happens, capturing and killing him will be a piece of cake.”
The Sky Serpent, who was a well-known powerhouse in the Pill Territory, remained calm even in such a situation, quickly identifying the fatal weakness behind Xiao Yan’s fierce display of power. Hearing the Sky Serpent’s words, Bing Xuan and Bing Hua’s faces flushed red before they nodded. They moved into formation, and the chilling coldness emanated continuously from their bodies.
The Sky Serpent watched Xiao Yan with a sullen expression, slamming his snake staff onto the void. A vast, bone-chilling frost surged from his body, merging with the other two’s coldness, and solidified into a white, icy surface, protecting them within it.
This snowy-white ice surface, formed entirely by the three’s immense energy, possessed an incredibly powerful defense. Even a Peak Battle Sect expert would find it difficult to break through it with full strength. Just as the ice mirror formed, the five-colored flame, akin to a raging sea, suddenly rushed in, enveloping the mirror in a torrent of blazing flames!
As soon as the five-colored flame touched the white ice surface, a loud hissing sound erupted. Countless white icy mists spread out, fiercely resisting the burning and roasting of the five-colored flame…
Hissing… Ice-cold water droplets continuously appeared on the ice mirror, sliding down and evaporating instantly when they met the surrounding waves of five-colored flame. In the colossal light array, the magnificent fire raged, and in the heart of the fiery storm, the snow-white ice mirror floated, revealing the blurry figures within.
Xiao Yan’s eyes, cold and indifferent, fixed on the melting mirror, a sneer forming on his lips. The fusion of the five flames, its overwhelming power, astonished even Xiao Yan himself. Though the gap between him and the Sky Serpent was substantial, with the Heavenly Fire Triad Change and the current Five Flame Wheel, that gap had narrowed significantly. But trying to resist the five-colored flame now would only lead to self-inflicted suffering…
The five-colored flame raged, and the terrifying heat made the space within the light array extremely warped, with even faint black cracks appearing in the air. The thick crystalline layer of the ice mirror, floating within the sea of fire, gradually melted. The rate of melting even made the expressions of the three inside change, as the five-colored flame’s destructive power was fully unleashed due to the elemental restraint.
“Old Snake, this is consuming too much of our energy. Before the brat’s secret technique’s time limit arrives, we might not be able to hold out…” Bing Xuan supported the ice layer above his head, channeling cold energy into it, but he could still feel the intense, relentless heat seeping through.
The Sky Serpent’s expression fluctuated, having underestimated the destructiveness of the five-colored flame… “When the ice mirror breaks, transfer all your Frost Lord Energy into my body. I will deliver the attack and kill the brat with one blow!”
Hearing the Sky Serpent’s cold voice, Bing Xuan and Bing Hua hesitated slightly before reluctantly nodding. Trapped within this terrifying fire, if they didn’t have the Frost Lord Energy protecting them, they would surely suffer severe burns.
Ignoring their bitter expressions, the Sky Serpent’s eyes locked onto a figure outside the ice mirror. “Squeak…”
The five-colored flame raged, and under the terrifying heat, more and more water droplets formed on the sturdy ice mirror, making it gradually thinner. Watching the standoff within the light array, many in Ye City felt their scalps tingle. The young figure instilled unimaginable shock, first defeating a Soul Temple Guardian, and now trapping the three Ice River Valley Elders in a sea of fire, unable to move. Such a feat ignited the blood of all who witnessed it.
“Crack…” Amid countless gazes, a faint sound emanated from within the light array, and the robust ice mirror began to fissure with fine cracks. “What a terrifying fire, for it to even hold off the combined powers of the three Ice River Valley Elders…”
Voices of surprise echoed throughout Ye City. “Boom!” The cracks spread rapidly, and finally, the mirror shattered, sending countless ice shards flying. A shockingly cold aura dispersed, pushing back the five-colored fire. The cold aura enveloped the area, and Bing Xuan and Bing Hua roared in anger, each placing a palm on the Sky Serpent’s back. An immense, iceberg-filled energy surged into the Sky Serpent’s body.
As Bing Xuan and Bing Hua transferred their Frost Lord Energy into the Sky Serpent, a cracking sound echoed, and layers of pale blue ice emerged from the Sky Serpent’s skin, forming a thin, pale blue ice armor. At the same time, an extremely terrifying, pale blue cold aura surged from his body, repelling the five-colored flame to a ten-foot distance, each advance of the flame countered by a dense white mist.
As the pale blue ice appeared, the Sky Serpent felt the horrifying heat of the five-colored flame diminish significantly. His eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he raised his head, staring darkly at Xiao Yan, his voice filled with endless cold, echoing within the light array. “Brat, this ends here!”
With these chilling words, the Sky Serpent clutched his palm, and a stream of pale blue, fluid-like energy poured out, containing countless tiny shards of ice. The Sky Serpent gripped the pale blue liquid energy and pulled, forming a massive, two-yard-long blue ice bow.
The appearance of this ice bow caused the cold aura to surge, even pushing back the previously raging five-colored flame. “Ice God Bow.” The Sky Serpent’s face was grim as he drew the bowstring, and with a creak, he pulled it taut. The surrounding coldness gathered, and a huge, blue ice arrow slowly appeared on the bowstring.
Seeing the ice arrow, Xiao Yan’s expression darkened. He could feel that the five-colored flame sea was quietly splitting apart where the arrow pointed. “This Sky Serpent is indeed a peak Battle Sect, truly difficult to deal with,” Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with resolve, and his hand seals changed abruptly.
As his hand seals shifted, the five-colored flames within the light array surged, rushing towards Xiao Yan, and converging on his right arm. Hiss! As more and more five-colored flames gathered on Xiao Yan’s arm, a gigantic, five-colored flame arm, ten yards long, slowly emerged, wrapping around his arm. From afar, it looked like the arm of a fire god, exuding a world-shattering power!
“With this arrow, your life is mine!” Seeing Xiao Yan’s gigantic flame arm, the Sky Serpent’s gaze flickered, and his face twisted with a menacing smile. With a cold snarl, he released the arrow. “Ice God Arrow, Seal the World!”
With the release, the massive blue ice arrow shot out, causing the surrounding coldness to surge and the fire curtain to dim. Xiao Yan’s expression was fierce, watching the blue trail in his eyes expanding rapidly. His gaze fierce, he paused, then, in a stunning moment, stamped his foot on the void, and with a sweeping motion, thrust his massive, fire god-like arm, delivering a devastating punch towards the incoming blue arrow.
“Fire God Arm, Destroy the World!”
