117: Mu Zun vs. Chu Yunbing and his companion

As time passed, many Cultivators began to slowly venture deeper into the Land of Reincarnation.

The entire Land of Reincarnation occupied a territory no smaller than a vast planet.

The closer one got to the depths, the more the danger increased.

Whether it was demons from the ancient era or Vicious Beasts eroded by Reincarnation, they all proved to be incredibly troublesome for the Cultivators.

Mu Zun allowed Fang Chensheng and his companion to gain experience on their own, while he himself headed deep into the area.

He intended to reach the deepest part of the Land of Reincarnation, making it unsuitable for Fang Chensheng and the other to accompany him.

Fang Chensheng also knew his strength was insufficient and feared becoming a burden to Mu Zun, so he quickly agreed.

Mu Zun seemed to transform into a devouring black hole within the Land of Reincarnation; no matter how powerful the evil spirits or Vicious Beasts were, they met their nemesis upon encountering him, being suppressed into the myriad things mother qi cauldron without the slightest power to resist.

As more evil spirits and Vicious Beasts were refined, the quality of the myriad things mother qi cauldron began to sublimate once more, and Mu Zun's comprehension of the intent of Reincarnation reached a brand-new Realm.

Just as Mu Zun prepared to further suppress and hunt the demons...

A vast white mist of cold suddenly began to appear in the air, and the surrounding temperature plummeted in an instant.

The bodies of some fleeing demons stiffened, and in the next second, they were frozen into ice sculptures, shattering into icy shards.

“Hmm?”

Mu Zun turned his head to look at the newcomer.

Holding a folding fan and dressed in a brocade white robe, the newcomer had a handsome and elegant face, with cones of spiritual ice revolving around his body.

The newcomer was none other than Cloud Ice.

He also saw Mu Zun and, without a hint of surprise on his face, spoke with a smile: “Young man, what a coincidence to run into you here.”

His elegant temperament made one feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze.

“And you are?”

Mu Zun’s expression was calm; he had no impression of this person and did not recall ever meeting him.

“Uh... that really breaks my heart.”

Cloud Ice clutched his chest, putting on a deeply hurt expression.

Facing Cloud Ice's affected manner, Mu Zun responded with indifference.

“Why waste words with him? Just strike and eliminate an obstacle on the Ancient Path for the Young Lord!”

A muffled, thunder-like snort came from the Void Realm as a figure slowly emerged.

Chu Heng stared at Mu Zun, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Eliminating someone who could surpass the Young Lord on the dao seeking stele within the Land of Reincarnation was the best possible outcome.

This wasn't the first time they had done such a thing.

Cloud Ice's expression also gradually became serious.

Although he didn't particularly want to attack Mu Zun, the words Chu Heng just said weren't without merit.

This youth would clash with the Young Lord sooner or later; it was better to kill him now before his wings were fully grown.

“Come at me together.”

Looking at the aggressive duo, Mu Zun's lips curled into a slight arc as he stood with his hands behind his back.

The myriad things mother qi cauldron circled around him, emitting an extremely dangerous Aura.

This display thoroughly enraged Chu Heng.

“I remember the name you left on the dao seeking stele. You are called Mu Zun, right?”

“You are too arrogant!”

Blood-red frost emerged on Chu Heng's body, and endless blood Souls wailed incessantly as blood-colored ice pillars solidified in the Void Realm.

Mu Zun casually sacrificed the myriad things mother qi cauldron before him.

Heaven-shaking runes burst forth, and visions of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and all living things appeared.

The cauldron's body instantly expanded, transforming in a flash to be as tall as a Primordial Divine Mountain, crushing down toward Chu Heng.

Chu Heng's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted.

Millions of blood-ice crystals formed a giant hand ten thousand feet high. The blood Souls within the ice rushed toward the myriad things mother qi cauldron, attempting to erode it.

Boom!

A collision sound that seemed to rend heaven and earth erupted and spread.

The airwaves swept across tens of thousands of kilometers of the Land of Reincarnation.

“Who is it?! Powerful experts are fighting nearby!”

“What a terrifying Aura! Who could it be?”

The Prodigies affected by the air currents cried out in alarm, offering their own guesses.

At the center of the collision, the suppression of the myriad things mother qi cauldron did not slow down at all despite the obstruction of the blood-ice giant hand.

Instead, the giant hand formed of blood-ice was directly shattered in the collision. The blood Souls that attempted to erode the myriad things mother qi cauldron were instead refined by it, like sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

“If this is all you can do, you might as well offer up your head directly to avoid the suffering of your Soul.”

Mu Zun's face remained indifferent.

“How can this be?!”

Chu Heng could not believe it. He was using the Blood Ghost Resentment Ice, which ranked in the top hundred of the profound ice he had refined!

Even a Dao Artifact could be eroded by it; how could it be ineffective against this giant cauldron?!

“Young man, don't be too aggressive!”

Seeing this, Cloud Ice knew Chu Heng was likely no match for him, so he immediately took action.

The temperature within a thousand-mile radius plummeted sharply at this moment, transforming into an extremely cold winter in the blink of an eye.

Qiang!

An ice phoenix composed of profound ice appeared in the Void Realm, breathing endless cold Qi toward Mu Zun as blade-like ice cones fell from the Void Realm.

Facing such an offensive, Mu Zun raised his hand and struck out with a single punch.

True Dragon Supreme Art—magic power manifesting the True Dragon Profound Truth. Dragon Punch, namely the True Dragon Punch!

Boom boom boom!!!

A Primordial True Dragon manifested. As the divine dragon tossed its head and swung its tail, the wind and snow scattered, the sky and sun changed, and the power was boundless and terrifying!

Amidst the roar, the entire Land of Reincarnation trembled!!

“Primordial True Dragon?!”

“True Dragon Supreme Art?!”

Chu Heng's eyes nearly split from shock, and Cloud Ice cried out in a lost voice.

The ice phoenix shattered instantly upon colliding with the True Dragon. Carrying a devouring, ferocious might, the True Dragon charged toward Cloud Ice and Chu Heng.

“We must use that move!”

The True Dragon Punch, which was almost indistinguishable from a real True Dragon, struck fear into the hearts of Chu Heng and his companion.

The True Dragon Supreme Art was the strongest killing technique of the Ten Ominous; its power was truly appalling.

They simply could not block this move; even if they did, they would be left on the verge of death and unconscious.

But how was that any different from being dead?

Their eyes met, and seeing the determination in each other's gaze, they made up their minds.

As they spoke, they muttered something under their breath, and then cold mist began to gush from their entire bodies.

“Spiritual Ice Great Divine Ability...”

Everywhere the cold mist reached, everything seemed to come to a halt.

Even the giant dragon that was about to tear the two apart was frozen in the Void Realm.

“Time Freeze...”

A terrifying Divine Ability recorded in the Imperial Sutra of the Spiritual Ice Great Emperor, it was also the life-saving Divine Ability that Cold Frost had passed down to them.

The cold mist soon covered the entire region, and the gushing from Cloud Ice and Chu Heng’s bodies stopped.

The two collapsed to the ground, an unspeakable pain coursing through their bodies, causing them to twitch uncontrollably.

A Divine Ability of this level was far beyond what they could normally use; only Cold Frost, who possessed the Great Emperor Bloodline, could use it without side effects.

“...Kill him...”

Half a minute passed. The two forced themselves up, enduring the intense pain as they moved toward Mu Zun.

When they arrived before him, Mu Zun was floating in the Void Realm, his expression calm, still standing with his hands behind his back.

In their eyes, Mu Zun was clearly frozen.

After all, in this stagnant time, only the two of them could move.

“Die!!”

Chu Heng’s expression was hideous as he pulled out a blood-ice sword and prepared to strike off Mu Zun's head.

But at that moment...

Mu Zun blinked.

Seeing this, Chu Heng's Soul was nearly scared out of his body.

The arm swinging the sword jerked sideways, heading toward Cloud Ice beside him.

“Pfft!!”

The already weakened Cloud Ice was directly sent flying by this unexpected strike. His chest was torn open by the sharp blood-ice sword, and his body was thrown backward as blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.
