169: Chapter 169 The Power of Freezing Ten Thousand Miles

The scenery shifted rapidly before his eyes, and in an instant, Tang Mo arrived at the ninety-second floor of the Coiling Dragon Pagoda.

He saw the temperature in the air rising rapidly; even the air itself seemed to be on fire, making it so stifling that it was hard to breathe.

Before Tang Mo was a pool of scorching lava.

Fiery red lava churned continuously beneath Tang Mo's feet, with lava bubbles surfacing from time to time.

A scorching breath rushed toward him, making Tang Mo feel as if his eyes and nose were on fire.

Tang Mo stood at the edge of the ninety-second floor, which was also the only place without lava.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~

The lava churned more and more violently, as if something was about to crawl out from beneath it.

Suddenly, a massive pincer lunged directly out of the lava, rapidly striking toward where Tang Mo stood.

The fiery red pincer seemed to weigh ten thousand catties; even before it hit him, Tang Mo could already feel the skin on his face stinging from the heat.

He quickly dodged the incoming pincer and turned to fly into mid-air.

From the air, Tang Mo could clearly see the creature that had ambushed him from the lava—it was a Level 1100 Flame Rock Giant Crab.

Its overall color was very similar to the lava; if not for that large pincer, Tang Mo wouldn't have noticed it at all, as it had practically merged with the lava.

Looking across the lava of the entire ninety-second floor, Tang Mo realized with a start that his keen senses had been affected by the scorching environment, to the point where he hadn't even noticed these ferocious beasts right under his nose.

Pfft~!

Just then, a pillar of lava suddenly shot out, passing straight through Tang Mo's body.

Tang Mo was startled, then saw the Flame Rock Giant Crabs in the lava raising their mouthparts toward him in the air, spitting out pressurized lava.

"I was careless. I thought I'd be safe in the air, but it seems I underestimated you."

"Fortunately, it's just ordinary lava; otherwise, I really would have been injured."

As he spoke, Tang Mo flipped his palm, and a mini, cute-looking doll appeared in his hand.

Then, Tang Mo threw the poison spirit doll downward, and the doll's figure vanished instantly.

Boom~!

The poison spirit doll exploded in the lava, instantly splashing lava everywhere.

However, it wasn't over yet.

After the poison spirit doll reached its max level, not only did its damage increase significantly, but every explosion would also form ten more poison spirit dolls, which would then automatically seek out and attack enemies again.

In this way, one became ten, ten became a hundred... as long as the target remained alive, poison spirit dolls would be generated continuously for an ongoing assault.

The explosions caused the lava to churn even more violently. Combined with the blown-off pincers of the Flame Rock Giant Crabs, the entire ninety-second floor looked like a giant seafood hotpot.

With a few muffled buzzing sounds, the entire pool of lava began to tremble, and a Flame Rock Giant Crab over ten times the size of the others rose from the lava.

It roared angrily, "Who is it! Who disturbed my slumber! Who killed my descendants?!"

The Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab looked around and quickly spotted Tang Mo in the air.

A hint of doubt flashed in the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab's eyes. It scanned the surroundings again, and after confirming there were no other creatures, it asked Tang Mo,

"Was the explosion just now your doing?"

Tang Mo nodded.

The Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab said in shock, "You're so tiny, how could you cause such a huge commotion?"

"No matter. Since you've woken me up, as punishment, you shall be my first meal upon waking!"

With that, the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab brandished its massive pincers and charged at Tang Mo.

However, before the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab could take two steps, a massive black bell slammed toward it.

It was precisely one of Tang Mo's God-level Skills, the Poison Emperor Bell.

The Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab swung its massive pincers to meet it head-on.

Clang~!

The deafening sound of the bell instantly echoed throughout the entire ninety-second floor.

The Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab's pupils dilated in shock, clearly stunned by the sound of the Poison Emperor Bell.

Then, the Poison Emperor Bell turned its body, pointing its massive mouth toward the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~

As the bell rang out, accelerating from slow to fast, the body of the Poison Emperor Bell also began to spin rapidly.

A massive suction force emanated from the Poison Emperor Bell.

Even with its massive size, the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab couldn't help but be pulled forward a few steps.

The lava below and some Flame Rock Giant Crabs were swept up directly into the Poison Emperor Bell.

The Poison Emperor Bell was like a bottomless pit, swallowing everything inside.

"Rock Fire Pillar!"

The Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab spat a thick pillar of fire from its mouth, slamming it hard against the Poison Emperor Bell.

The violent impact caused the Poison Emperor Bell to grow dim, and its power subsequently diminished significantly.

Only then did the Flame Rock Giant Crabs in the lava escape their doom.

Then, with another Rock Fire Impact from the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab, the Poison Emperor Bell dissipated completely.

"Those who can reach this place are indeed not to be underestimated, but this is as far as you go!"

"Next, I'll use lava to roast your head to a pulp!"

The Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab raised its pair of massive pincers and shouted softly,

"Great Flame Lord!"

Instantly, crimson lava surged from the ground and wrapped around the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab's body, as if it were wearing a suit of armor.

But in Tang Mo's eyes, the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab's attributes had all increased drastically, rising by a full dozen times.

Originally, with the support of three divine artifacts, Tang Mo's attributes could barely hold their own against the Level 1180 Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab.

But after its buff, it was absolutely an existence that could crush him.

Tang Mo's nerves tightened instantly; he had to treat this with caution.

Thus, Tang Mo immediately gave himself a dose of Super Growth Hormone and Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst.

Afterward, Tang Mo's level jumped straight to 920, and his damage increased by another 16,000%.

Due to the attribute boost from the level increase, Tang Mo's attributes caught up with and even surpassed those of the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab.

Looking up again, the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab was already charging toward him.

"Flame Dragon Impact!"

Dozens of massive, fiery red lava dragons roared as they charged toward Tang Mo.

Tang Mo quickly chanted an incantation, and the surrounding air rapidly dropped to the freezing point.

"Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!"

Ice rapidly spread outward from Tang Mo as the center.

Those ferocious, baring-fanged lava dragons were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, their fires completely extinguished.

Even the churning lava below quieted down completely, turning into cooled black rock.

The Flame Rock Giant Crabs that had been hiding beneath the lava were in trouble, trapped underground by the lava that had turned into rock.

Accustomed to living in ultra-high temperatures, the Flame Rock Giant Crabs simply couldn't adapt to such a sudden and drastic change in the environment; they took massive damage, with only half their health remaining.

Now, if they were hit by another ice-attribute attack like this, they would likely all perish.

Even the Super Giant Flame Rock Giant Crab was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles was a skill Tang Mo had plundered from another creature. Although it was only of Epic quality, it couldn't withstand the fact that Tang Mo's current Spirit attribute was as high as 1,300 trillion.

Therefore, the skill's effect was naturally amplified infinitely.
