169: Faceless Corpse, Polar Finale

Lu Chen looked at this strange female corpse and murmured: "Is this the Frost Queen? You had better not make an enemy of me! The Heavenly Dao probably hasn't had time to teach you true despair yet."

The words had barely left his lips when a sudden change occurred.

The dome of the Polar Night Abyss suddenly cracked with thousands of fissures, and the aurora, interwoven with deep blue and emerald green, poured down like a waterfall from the heavens.

Shelley's ice crystal boots stepped onto the floating ice shards, and the ice lotus condensed at the tip of her scepter was dyed an eerie purple-red by the aurora!

Shelley said urgently, "This is the Frost Queen's Eternal Night Barrier... They are absorbing all the energy here in the polar region!"

Lu Chen's skeletal palm brushed over the inverted ice coffin. His Soul Fire reflected the silver hair of the woman inside, which was exactly like Shelley's, but unfortunately, this was a woman without a face.

Had she even lost her true form?

"One hundred thousand years ago, the ancestors of the polar region sacrificed their Souls to the Polar Night to gain peace for the Arctic Realm! Yet, there was actually a civilization that just perished like this? How pitiful!"

As Lu Chen spoke, he suddenly waved his sleeve, shattering seven ice coffins. The bone fragments reorganized into a star map within the aurora. "Pitiful, then let's have you reincarnated early. I shall ferry you to the afterlife!"

The Ice Soul Labyrinth began to tremble violently. Hundreds of eyeballs on the flesh-walled palace burst simultaneously, and the dark green mucus transformed into three Ouroboros-like giant snakes.

A hexagram ice formation bloomed beneath Shelley's feet. The chant of an Eighth-Order Mage stirred up an underwater blizzard. "--Wrath of the Winter!"

The ice storm, carrying glowing microorganisms, formed a galactic vortex, but the moment it touched the giant snakes, it was reflected by their scales—those scales were prisms carved from ten-thousand-year ice marrow, refracting the magic energy into seven hundred and twenty death rays.

"Watch out, Shelley!" Lu Chen stepped on the remains of a Bone Dragon and leaped into the aurora. "Insignificant tricks!"

Lu Chen's black robe turned to ash in the torrent of energy, revealing his complete skeleton true form, which was as crystalline as a black diamond.

Dark red Talismanic Incantations emerged between the ribs of the Undead Monarch, and his chanting shook the seabed fault until it cracked!

"The Nine Nether Yellow Springs open the Ghost Gate, the Ten Kings of Hell kneel and pay homage."

"I dare to borrow nether fire from the heavens, to burn away the undying Souls of the Three Realms!"

Lu Chen's recitation was like a spell, erupting with powerful strength!

The moment the Talismanic Incantation was completed, the aurora was dyed blood-red.

Thousands of skeleton warriors clad in ice armor crawled out from the split trench. Their eye sockets burned with aurora fragments, and their ice blades were engraved with the curse Talismanic Incantations of the Inuit ancestors.

The Frost Giant Snakes let out deafening wails under the siege of the undead legion, but Lu Chen's finger bones had already pierced through Shelley's frost shield, grabbing her and landing in a safe place, standing high within the Void Realm.

When the last Frost Giant Snake turned into ice dust, a throne cast from whale skulls was revealed at the core of the flesh-walled palace.

The phantom of the Frost Queen emerged above the throne. Her long hair was a flowing group of glowing jellyfish, her long dress was woven from the tentacles of alarm jellyfish, and with every step she took, the deep blue fluorescence of siphonophores dripped down.

Although her face could not be seen, this phantom seemed to no longer be faceless.

"Dear descendant, you have brought a generous gift." The Queen's gaze swept over the ice Soul necklace on Shelley's chest. "Using the Soul Fire of an immortal to ignite the Eternal Silence Throne will grant the Arctic Realm an eternal polar day. The Heavenly Dao used my corpse as the source of pollution, but the polar region blessed my Soul to be immortal and unpolluted. Thank you both for saving this place today and releasing my remains."

Accompanying her voice, twelve ice pillars suddenly rose from the seabed. Each pillar froze an ice sculpture of a past Ice Emperor, holding the whale tooth ritual vessels offered by the Inuit people.

These were symbols of the Legacy.

Lu Chen's Soul Fire suddenly split into nine clusters, forming a blood-red cage around Shelley to protect her, just in case this phantom had ill intentions. Lu Chen did not believe a word anyone said.

The Frost Queen disappeared. But in the abyss, that faceless female corpse "Frost Queen" still stood up.

The faceless female corpse condensed into an even more powerful entity on the Eternal Silence Throne. The glowing jellyfish tentacles flowing from her fingertips suddenly surged, dyeing the entire whale skull throne deep blue.

Shelley's ice Soul necklace burst with blinding silver light. The Eighth-Order Mage's frost shield actually cracked inch by inch under the Queen's pressure, and the ice crystal shards refracted the weary faces of the past Ice Emperors on the twelve ice pillars.

The ice sculptures in this frigid land were actually melting!

Lu Chen drew his sword and rushed forward, forcing the faceless female corpse back! His skeletal palm pressed onto the Eternal Silence Throne, and the distant chanting of the Dong people's grand songs suddenly resounded throughout the entire sea area.

The Undead Monarch's Soul Fire split into nine black lotuses, and a golden compass appeared on each petal!

"Watch how I rewrite destiny!" Lu Chen shouted angrily. He raised his true essence Soul Power once more!

Nine Nether karmic fire burns the eight wildernesses, eternal ice Soul illuminates the nether hall. If one asks who controls Reincarnation? Beneath the skeleton's throne, all is mystery and yellow!

As the Talismanic Incantation resounded through the abyss, the seabed suddenly split into a thousand-meter chasm, and countless skeleton warriors clad in ice armor crawled out from the ground fissures.

The aurora fragments burning in their eye sockets were the very scenery of the Arctic—energy currents interwoven with deep green and scarlet surged in the deep sea, burning the faceless female corpse's group of glowing jellyfish into ash.

Shelley seized the opportunity to insert the whale tooth ritual vessel into her chest, and her golden blood drew the star map of the Inuit ancestors on the seabed.

When the thirteenth constellation lit up, the Ice Emperor ice sculptures within the twelve ice pillars wept simultaneously. Those teardrops, frozen for millions of years, turned into the fluorescence of siphonophores. In this symmetrical and asymmetrical aesthetic, an ice crystal dome covering the entire sea area was reconstructed.

The faceless female corpse was finally revealed in her true form under the double attack!—She was actually an aggregate of glowing fungi breeding in the deep Arctic sea trench.

The faceless female corpse let out a roar from her face that did not belong to a human at all. She had become a monster completely controlled by the Heavenly Dao.

The roar shook down the ice marrow prisms, forming countless miniature aurora vortices on the seabed, each reflecting the magnificent scenery of the Arctic.

Lu Chen's nine Bone Dragons performed Body Integration into a Nether Ghost Dragon! The dragon head wore a Sanxingdui bronze mask.

When the Ghost Dragon smashed through the Queen's core fungal colony, Shelley immediately detonated all of her Eighth-Order Mage magic power, transforming the ice sculptures of the past Ice Emperors into ice Phoenixes like shattered Kunlun jade. Feathers filled the sky, carrying magic Talismanic Incantations as they pierced into the fungal core.

When the seabed returned to silence, the Eternal Silence Throne had turned into a coral reef inhabited by glowing squid.

Lu Chen's white bone palm lifted Shelley's hand, taking her hand, and said softly, "It's over, Your Highness Princess of the Arctic. Was this show exciting enough?"

"You are watching a show, but in my eyes, there is only you, Little Skeleton."

A simple remark. It made Lu Chen pause slightly. The grace of a beautiful woman is the hardest to accept.

"Shall we go back?"

"Wait, I want to take these ice sculptures back. They are all past Ice Emperors."

"Alright." Lu Chen looked at the ice sculptures and nodded. "I thought all Ice Emperors were female."

"There are both men and women, all of the clan's Bloodline."

"However, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful. Tsk tsk, the polar region even has the effect of being 'beautifully freezing'!"

"Pfft~!"
