285: Chapter 285 Destructive Cold Qi, Signs of World Annihilation

"You are not worthy!"

Hun Tiandi was completely encased in ice, but the Yellow Spirit Fire on his body burned even more intensely, constantly incinerating the chill on the outside.

In his pitch-black eyes, the sharpness of his sword path became even more piercing, and his heart remained as firm as iron.

He roared frantically in his heart; though there was no sound, it was like the Profound Thunder of the Nine Heavens, shaking heaven and earth.

The stone tablet before the tomb continuously released a chilling aura, but in the moment his life was at stake, there was no fear or cowardice.

Instead, he became increasingly calm, his Killing Sword Intent surging as if he were a peerless ominous sword that had endured through the long ages.

Even if heaven and earth were to overturn, he would fight for his life against them and never submit.

Buzz!

The damaged stone tablet seemed to hear Hun Tiandi's unwillingness; the patterns diffused with flowing light, releasing a purple glow that connected across space.

In the blink of an eye, thick strands of chilling aura condensed into dragons, swimming from all directions to encircle the ice sculpture.

The extreme cold sealed the space; everything was hard-pressed to withstand it.

Roar!

The frigid swimming dragons were like the Chill of the Nine Sereneries; the blood and qi of his physical body were frozen, and even his Fighting Qi was gradually being encased in ice as it spread.

It even began to erode toward his sea of consciousness and soul.

It seemed that under this destroying chill, all methods became meaningless and vulnerable.

Hun Tiandi's mind sank into the sword path; between life and death, there is great terror, yet his heart was as calm as water under this state of extreme composure.

His comprehension of the sword reached an unprecedented depth.

From the four levels of Sword Qi Rainbow, Dao Heart Sword Intent, Sword Master of Heaven and Earth, and Sword Spirit of the Universe, he had comprehended the sword path all the way.

Back when he bathed the Yellow Spring Pavilion in blood, he had gained insight into the Sword Spirit of the Universe realm during a life-and-death battle, breaking through the Sword Master of Heaven and Earth level to advance to the Sword Spirit of the Universe.

Now in the Black Cloud Ravine, before the Heaven-Reaching Tomb, the stone tablet released infinite chill, turning Hun Tiandi into an ice sculpture.

In this calm state, his level of Sword Spirit of the Universe advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching perfection.

Buzz!

The entire ice sculpture shook violently as an astonishing potential suddenly erupted from deep within his body.

Hun Tiandi, who had been completely frozen, suddenly snapped his eyes open; his sword intent was brilliant and sharp, and his expression was as cold as ice.

Staring at the stone tablet, he said with extreme coldness, "I told you, you... are not worthy."

As his voice fell.

The Source of the Blood God, which had been completely frozen, actually crushed the chill and began to rotate slowly, erupting with a boundless Fighting Qi like an ocean wave.

Layer after layer, it surged into the vortex, roaring through his meridians.

At the same time, his Killing Sword Intent erupted, cracks spread across the ice sculpture, and infinite sword qi burst out from his pores.

The sword qi continuously washed over him, breaking the seal.

Boom!

Deep within his soul, the silent heart of samsara manifested supreme power at this moment, driving the derivation of the sword path and causing the sharpness of the Killing Sword Intent to be completely ignited.

The chill that was about to erode his sea of consciousness and soul was swept away by the heart of samsara, instantly dispersed.

Mysterious forces washed through his limbs and bones; wherever they passed, the chill vanished.

Crack...

After the chill inside his body was destroyed, the chill on the surface also changed; a crisp sound of shattering broke the dead silence.

Then, cracks began to spread incessantly, dense and numerous, appearing on every inch of the ice sculpture.

Bang...

Inside the ice sculpture, Hun Tiandi's gaze was like a sword, bursting with infinite sword intent; his pores opened, Fighting Qi whistled, and he ignited the burning blood and qi of his physical body.

His power revived, and infinite confidence welled up in his heart; the freezing chill was no longer a shackle.

The sharpness of the sword path slaughters the heavens.

Sharpness filled with killing intent burst through his body and slammed into the ice sculpture; the already crack-riddled ice completely shattered, turning into tiny shards.

Hun Tiandi's figure was revealed.

The power of the heart of samsara retracted and returned to silence as he took a deep look at the stone tablet.

Crack!

As Hun Tiandi stepped past the stone tablet, a new crack appeared on the damaged tablet; the chill receded, and the ground was restored.

The spatial storm swept out once more.

With a flash of his body, he turned into a bolt of lightning and shot toward the stone gate, disappearing from before the stone tablet.

"This is... a vision of the end of the world?"

At the Heaven-Reaching Tomb, a heavy stone gate was tightly closed, and the scenes inscribed upon it were truly terrifying.

Dou Saints weeping blood, Dou Emperors wailing, Supremes perishing, heaven and earth grieving together, and spatial dimensions collapsing.

The sun, moon, and stars fell; blood rain dripped from the firmament, whistling down.

Upon this stone gate, a vision of the apocalypse was actually manifested.

The Lady in White who had previously stepped upon the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python had unexpectedly not noticed it. Hun Tiandi furrowed his brows; the series of images made one shudder with boundless fear.

Could it be a secret that once occurred on the Fighting Qi Continent, lost in the river of time?

Buzz... Kill...

The stone gate suddenly vibrated as if boundless killing intent had manifested and descended upon the continent; Hun Tiandi felt as if he had entered the ancient vision of the end of the world.

Dou Saints weeping blood, Dou Emperors wailing, Supremes perishing, heaven and earth grieving together, and spatial dimensions collapsing.

The sun, moon, and stars fell; blood rain dripped from the firmament, whistling down.

Infinite living beings struggled and wailed in the apocalypse, their cries of slaughter shaking the heavens.

Boundless killing intent and resentment flooded in, frantically impacting his mind; at this moment, Hun Tiandi manifested within it, fighting and slaughtering in the end of the world.

Before him was a thousand-foot-tall demonic shadow, swinging a demonic blade down from the sky.

Boundless power locked down the void. Hun Tiandi was unwilling to be captured without a fight; with a flip of his hand, the Yuan Tu Killing Sword was in his grasp, its crimson blade trembling urgently.

Clang!

A sky-reaching sword chime rang out, and Hun Tiandi shouted loudly: "My will is neither born nor destroyed, my soul is immortal and eternal, and my sharpness shall endure forever!"

Every word and sentence was like the sharpness of a sword, cutting through everything; the killing sword was like a dragon, echoing through the apocalypse.

Even if his body perished and his path vanished amidst the celestial slaughter, no one could stop him.

In this boundless world, who rules over its ups and downs?

Hun Tiandi's expression was indifferent, his green robe stained with blood as he walked upon it; the Purple Dragon King Qi on his body roared, pouring into the Yuan Tu Killing Sword.

He boldly charged toward the demonic shadow; Dou Saints, Dou Emperors, and Supreme Sovereigns—countless experts were perishing all around him.

Weeping blood and wailing, slaughtering heaven and earth.

One terrifying peerless Dou Technique after another, along with world-destroying divine abilities, came crashing down.

After an unknown amount of time, through billions of slaughters, he still did not submit.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, the boundless killing intent receded; the vision of the end of the world vanished like a bubble, and Hun Tiandi remained indifferent, standing before the stone gate.

Looking at the stone gate again, it appeared like a normal mountain peak.

Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly; fortunately, his will was resilient and he had gone through the Heart Refining Melody, so he was not deceived by the illusion.

Previously, if his mind had flickered even slightly, that terrifying vision of the end of the world would have taken his life.

However, going through this ordeal was not without its benefits.

His Killing Sword Intent had transformed, reaching throughout the universe; this represented the perfection of the Sword Spirit of the Universe level, a step higher on the path of the sword.

Swoosh...

With a flash of his body, he turned into a streak of blood-light and slipped directly through the crack in the stone gate.

His figure manifested in a greyish area; Hun Tiandi's gaze was like lightning as he looked into the distance, yet he could not see through it, as if it were an abyss of darkness, pitch black.

Even light could not escape.

Boom!

Before Hun Tiandi could react, a purple light erupted from within the stone gate, released from the Heaven-Reaching Tomb; in an instant, it enveloped his figure and swept him into the tomb.

With a boom, the stone gate returned to normal.

With the stone tablet as the boundary, the outside was a howling gale, while the inside was a deathly, deep silence.

The tomb was still the same tomb, and the stone tablet still stood tall; not a trace of the previous terrifying visions could be seen.
