582: Chapter 581 Open the door, security guard!

Following Li Heng's command, Kunlun Academy's "recruitment" team set off in a grand manner for the next Forbidden Ground in the Qingyun Realm—the Northern Glacier.

With Xiao Zi as their "guide," everything became simple.

She seemed to naturally know every corner of this prison like the back of her hand.

Under her guidance, everyone easily bypassed all natural hazards and remaining ancient Restrictions, reaching the core area of the glacier.

This was a dead world frozen in ice, where the bone-chilling wind was enough to freeze the spiritual power of Golden Core Cultivators.

At the deepest part of the glacier, a massive iceberg composed of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice stood abruptly between heaven and earth.

"It's here."

Xiao Zi stopped, still clutching that bag of spicy stripss in her arms as if it were her most precious treasure.

She pointed at the massive iceberg ahead and explained softly.

"The King of Eternal Night, the one among the nine Prisoners whose awakened will is the most complete."

"His power is mainly based on 'Extinction' and 'Freezing,' which highly counters the Divine Soul."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn.

They clearly felt a terrifying aura lurking deep within that iceberg, making their hearts palpitate.

That aura was more violent and pure than Xiao Zi's back in the rift, filled with malice to destroy everything.

This was a true "Prisoner."

"Dean, have you... been here before?"

Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, remembering the experience of being shaken back by a domineering force when he and Liu Lian were investigating.

"Mm, I've been here."

Li Heng's answer was nonchalant.

"I originally wanted to reinforce the Seal while I was at it, but I found this guy too noisy, so I gave him a kick along the way."

Gave him a kick...

Everyone's lips twitched slightly.

To be personally kicked by this senior, his strength could well be imagined.

"Alright, enough nonsense."

Li Heng seemed a bit impatient and urged.

"Xiao Zi, open the door."

"Oh."

Xiao Zi responded and walked obediently to the front of the iceberg.

She reached out her fair little hand and pressed it gently against the indestructible Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice.

Her purple eyes lit up with a strange glow.

Buzz—

An invisible ripple rapidly spread out with her palm as the center.

The entire massive iceberg began to vibrate violently.

The ancient and complex golden rune Seals on the surface of the iceberg, as if meeting their nemesis, quickly dimmed and dissipated one by one.

Crack... Crack-crack...

A huge crack spread from the foot of the iceberg all the way to the summit.

Then, under everyone's shocked gaze, the entire iceberg slowly split down the middle as if by a pair of invisible giant hands.

A dark aura, a hundred times more intense than before and filled with silence and despair, gushed out from the crack!

"Roar—"

A roar filled with endless rage and resentment came from deep within the iceberg.

That sound seemed to act directly on the Soul, causing the faces of Fang Yuan and other weaker Disciples to instantly turn pale, and their Divine Souls felt bursts of stinging pain.

"This King! Is finally out!"

"Hahaha! Damned jailer! Damned Seal! All of you, die for this King!"

A massive shadow, thousands of feet tall, slowly rose from the split iceberg.

It had no fixed form, appearing as if composed of the purest darkness and ice; one could only vaguely see a pair of massive eyes burning with ghost-blue flames.

It was the King of Eternal Night!

"Hmm? It's you, little jailer..."

The King of Eternal Night noticed Xiao Zi in front of the iceberg, a hint of cruelty flashing in his ghost-blue eyes.

"Just right, this King will swallow you first to satisfy a craving!"

As he spoke, a giant hand composed of pure dark energy reached down toward Xiao Zi.

However, at that moment, his massive body suddenly stiffened.

His burning eyes stared fixedly at the man standing behind Xiao Zi, who looked leisurely as if strolling through a park.

That aura...

That unforgettable aura that had caused him countless nightmares even during his endless slumber!

It was the owner of this aura who, not long ago, had used an unreasonable force through the Seal to nearly strike his newly awakened Origin will back into a state of slumber!

The King of Eternal Night's towering arrogance was instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured from his head to his toes.

"It's... it's you!"

His roar, enough to intimidate the Divine Soul, now carried a hint of undisguisable trembling and... terror.

"Yo, you still remember me?"

Li Heng lazily looked up and waved at the massive shadow, greeting him.

"Hello, new security guard."

"Sec... security guard?"

The King of Eternal Night's chaotic consciousness clearly couldn't understand the meaning of this word.

But that didn't stop him from feeling the extreme... contempt in this man's tone.

"You... who exactly are you? You're not from the Heavenly Court!"

"I?"

Li Heng pointed to himself.

“Kunlun Academy, Dean, Li Heng.”

"Now, on behalf of Kunlun Academy, I formally issue you a job invitation."

"Position: Head of Security Department, Qingyun Realm Campus."

"Job description: Guarding the door, patrolling, and maintaining campus security."

"Benefits: Room and board included, five insurances and one fund... er, we don't have that. But your personal safety can be guaranteed."

Li Heng introduced solemnly.

"I'll give you three seconds to think about it."

"Either sign this labor contract and become a member of my Kunlun from now on."

"Or, I'll scatter you right now, scatter your ashes, and let you experience what true eternal night is."

"Three."

Li Heng began the countdown.

The King of Eternal Night's massive body, composed of darkness, fluctuated violently, showing the extreme turmoil in his heart.

He was an Ancient Malignant God! An existence that once gave even immortals and gods headaches!

To make him guard a door? Be a security guard?

What an utter humiliation!

"Two."

Li Heng's voice carried no emotion.

That terrifying pressure, enough to scatter his Origin, descended once again.

The King of Eternal Night had no doubt that as soon as the word "one" was spoken, he would truly be destroyed in both form and spirit.

Dignity?

In the face of absolute death, what does dignity matter!

"I... I'll sign!"

Before Li Heng could count to "one," the King of Eternal Night's aggrieved and terrified voice echoed across the entire ice field.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of all the Kunlun Disciples, his thousand-foot-tall shadow rapidly shrank, finally transforming into a pale young man wearing a black robe, who respectfully floated down in front of Li Heng.

"Bo... Boss, may I ask... where is the contract?"
