Chapter 822: Frost

The Divine Abomination Tricephalous Bird.

Such beings are often born from deities who have dominion over flight, fire, or avian-related divine portfolios. They are born with innate affinities for various elements, often of the highest order, and can command several high-level spell-like abilities from birth—enough to make any mortal spellcaster feel ashamed.

However, due to their status as divine abominations, their minds are often extremely unstable, making them prone to bring disasters to the mortal realm, which in turn implicates their divine progenitors.

Therefore, nearly all tricephalous birds are either killed outright or sent to the inner world for sealing, leaving Wu Ming to learn about these divine abominations only from forbidden magical tomes.

Now that he was seeing a living specimen, he naturally felt some excitement.

“The fundamental principle of chaos…”

Upon comparison and analysis, he quickly made a discovery.

Wu Ming gazed at the mass of vengeful energy extracted from the tricephalous bird, his expression gradually turning solemn. “Chaos! This is also one of the supreme laws of existence. Is this the essence of divine abominations? It unexpectedly aligns with the inner world…”

Even Wu Ming had to admit that chaos was naturally one of the supreme laws of the multiverse, standing in opposition to order.

“Good and evil, death and life, time and space, fate… all are immensely powerful cosmic principles. After merging with such a Dao, one can aspire to reach the eighth tier, and even attaining the ninth tier is not entirely impossible…”

“With this current catastrophe erupting in the inner world, many of its divine abominations have emerged in response to the times, becoming central figures in the world. Even the embodiment of chaos itself is not beyond possibility…”

Wu Ming immediately recalled the white mask he had fought against previously.

He had a premonition that, as the leader of divine abominations and evil deities, the opponent might be the embodiment of the chaos principle. If he successfully plunges the prime world into chaos, he might grasp the essence of chaos and begin to aspire toward the ninth tier.

“Even so, the current situation isn’t looking too good either!”

As the supreme god of humanity, Wu Ming naturally learned much from both Eastern and Western divine pantheons.

The gods needed to consolidate their strength, dealing only with divine abominations that wantonly slaughtered mortals, while the vast numbers of monsters and vengeful spirits had to be handled by mortals themselves.

At this moment, on both the Eastern and Western continents, villages, towns, and even entire cities were being overrun and mercilessly ravaged every moment.

For example, the port of Ivansport had already been devastated by a cyclops divine abomination. When the royal mage corps arrived, they could only see ruins and rampaging monsters.

In contrast, in the Eastern port of New Boundary, it was said that several ancient experts from the Union intervened, successfully resisting the onslaught of vengeful spirits and preventing a tragedy. However, due to the anomalies in the ambient spiritual energy and the failure of magical arrays and rituals, they had no choice but to evacuate and relocate inland.

With the formation of the Sea of Vengeful Spirits and the rampant attacks of marine monsters and divine abominations, the oceans had now become forbidden zones, with no fleet daring to sail them. The entire civilization of the prime world had been fragmented into isolated islands across various continents.

Moreover, as the inner world continued to retaliate, the living space for intelligent beings on the continents was destined to shrink further.

“There’s definitely something more sinister behind this catastrophe…”

From these changes, Wu Ming immediately sensed the scent of a conspiracy.

Or rather, not a conspiracy, but an overt scheme—using the outbreak of the inner world to suppress the intelligent factions of the prime world into a disadvantaged position.

“Whoever you are that can command divine abominations from the inner world, O Masked Phantom of the Void… what is your ultimate goal?”

Wu Ming’s eyes seemed to pierce through the void, filled with a trace of anticipation.

As a frequent traveler across multiple worlds, he feared no upheaval the least.

For an ambitious person, only amidst earth-shattering changes could immense opportunities be found!

…

The Prime World, Northernmost Continent.

This continent was nearly as large as the combined Eastern and Western human-occupied continents, yet its population was less than a tenth of theirs. It was ruled entirely by the race of frost giants.

Frost giants were one of the hundred races of the prime world, and a relatively powerful one at that.

Even the most ordinary frost giant was born with astonishing physical constitution, strength, and resistance to cold. As they grew, they began to awaken innate magical talents related to snow and ice.

In general, even the weakest frost giant could rival a human of the third-tier reincarnator!

Coupled with their intelligence and the establishment of organized nations, the frost giants were undisputed overlords of the northernmost continent.

They had lived for generations amidst blizzards and ice plains, accompanied by snow wolves, winter serpents, and even frost dragons, tenaciously and steadfastly guarding the entire continent.

Yet now, around the capital city of the Frost Giant Empire, the frozen city of Esryl, countless vengeful spirits and monsters surged forth, frantically assaulting the towering city walls, which were covered in thick layers of ice.

This army of monsters and spirits was clearly sharper than the usual cannon fodder. Winged great beasts were common sights, and high-ranking undead were not rare at all.

Masses of frost giant warriors stood upon the walls, continuously pounding their chests and roaring as shamans and sorcerers chanted incantations, hurling ice blades, ice spears, and blizzards upon the enemies below.

Amidst this catastrophe, a monstrous army of millions of spirits and monsters had completely encircled Esryl, and the brutal siege had already lasted three days and nights.

These spirits and monsters were clearly under command. On the battlefield, even dozens of frenzied divine abominations wandered about—this was the key reason why the inner world’s forces could suppress Esryl.

Otherwise, as a renowned race of the prime world, the frost giants certainly had divine and supreme protectors, and would never have fallen into such a dire situation.

At this moment, within the highest cathedral of the imperial capital, several true gods of the frost giants had fully descended. Before them, a glowing screen displayed the scenes from the city walls.

“O great beings,” cried out a frost giant king clad in a cape and wearing a crown, “this war cannot continue like this! Our warriors are dying one by one, while the enemy keeps coming endlessly…”

“It is precisely for this reason that we have decided to eliminate them all at once, leaving no hidden dangers!” declared a golden frost giant.

“Then it is good!” the frost giant king exhaled in relief. “I can assure you all that the formation is completely reliable.”

How could proud frost giants accept a situation where they could only defend and not retaliate? During this time, every proud frost giant had been planning how to strike back.

Indeed, even one of their guardian supreme deities, a manifestation of cosmic law, had been stirred into action—sufficient proof of how great a threat these spirits and monsters posed to the world!

Once a supreme deity intervened, wouldn’t those lowly minions be as easy to eliminate as vegetables?

The frost giant king finally regained a bit of confidence and hurriedly departed to make preparations.

Soon, a brilliant sapphire glow spread across the entire city of Esryl.

Boom!

A column of light surged upward, rapidly expanding outward.

The frost giants were completely unaware, but any monster, vengeful spirit, or high-level evil entity touched by the blue light instantly transformed into a sapphire ice sculpture, then crumbled into sparkling dust.

“The Glacial Formation…”

A high-ranking frost giant priest stared at the scene, his face showing no joy. “The last piece of our empire’s treasured Glacial Essence has already been used… This formation that once protected our race will now fade into history…”

“Woaaah!”

“Woaaaah!”

Unlike the priest’s melancholy, the frost giant warriors witnessing the scene erupted into cheers.

However, this was not the end.

Under the coverage of the Glacial Formation, the majority of the undead and monsters perished silently, but true legendary sages, and even higher-tier sixth and seventh-tier divine abominations, remained unscathed.

“Attack!”

Soon, the city gates opened, and large numbers of frost giant priests, warriors, and high-ranking shamans charged out, surrounding the remaining high-level monsters.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, accompanied by the falling frost, divine beings descended from the frost giants, engaging the divine abominations in battle.

The effects of the Glacial Formation continued. High-ranking undead and monsters were the first to falter, their movements slowing as they were struck down one by one.

Then, even among the divine abominations, some began to fall.

“Hehehe!”

Suddenly, an eerie laughter echoed in the minds of the frost giants, causing lower-tier warriors to melt into pools of black blood. Merely hearing the sound was enough to kill them!

A massive black eye instantly appeared above Esryl, casting a colossal shadow.

Everything within that shadow silently dissolved.

“That… is the ancient evil god, the Eye of Death!”

As ancient beings, the frost deities emitted waves of shock and fury.

But at that moment, sinister beams of light shot from the black eye’s pupil, striking the frost deities directly.

One deity who had only recently ascended to this level screamed in agony as his body began to slowly melt away. Worse still, an evil force traced back to his divine realm, attempting to corrupt his true form.

The ancient evil god, the Eye of Death!

Even among divine circles, this name was a taboo.

For once it appeared, death followed—no mortal being could escape the shadow cast by the Eye of Death.

In ancient times, the slaughter it caused numbered at least in the hundreds of thousands!

Precisely for this reason, the gods had joined forces to banish it to the inner world.

Indeed, the gods who once sealed it had suffered heavy casualties—three seventh-tier deities perished outright, while dozens more were severely wounded, their slow decline ending in eventual demise.

The Eye of Death appearing now was clearly even more powerful than the legends described!

“Eye of Death…”

At the very moment the frost deities were locked in bitter combat, a sapphire glow emerged from the void, condensing into a massive human face radiating the brilliance of a Great Immortal. “O transgressor of cosmic law, you shall be punished!”
