He had practiced the Elementary Fire Godly Way, which was able to suppress the chilly air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fire prison he built was unable to resist the attack in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Howl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang, bang, bang...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Ice Sculpture gave out a terrifying roar and chased after the group on the snowfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was already in panic as they just fled in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Nicholas' voice was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, calm down. This thing is not smart enough. Let's go left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They realized that this was also the trick of the Great Dominance Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, they would be very disgusted with it. After all, the Great Dominance Technique could bewitch people and no one wanted to be a spiritual slave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But using the technique at the moment gave warmth in their hearts. It provided them the strength to pluck up courage. Their hearts already felt at ease from panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow falling from the sky was swaying. The snowflakes were so big that they almost blocked the sight in front of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were instructed to go left and looking ahead, they could faintly see two big snow mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were gradually calmed, they immediately turned around and flew towards the left direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they fled, another terrible scream was heard from behind. Everyone caught a sight of what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is the Demi-holy Being of the Qin Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave him alone. Let's go! If we slow down a bit, everyone will die here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was in a different environment, Nicholas would usually act and think about a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the alliance of the powerful clans, he had to take the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the power of the Demon Ice Sculpture was so strange that it was completely beyond his cognition and surpassed their own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also tried to attack the Demon Ice Sculpture, but he couldn't do anything to it just like other Holy Beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he couldn't understand was that no matter what methods they used to attack the opponent, the energy contained within seemed to rapidly weaken and even disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not figure out why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Ice Sculpture didn't seem to have absorbed the energy, so he thought that it was largely attributed to the chilly air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was the best choice for them to leave now. He decided and guided everyone to run away immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know if he could get rid of the Demon Ice Sculpture, but if they escaped to the snow mountains, he would be able to hinder it for the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone flew as fast as they could. It was not long before they had apparently reached the side of a snow mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they arrived, a consummate True God with sharp eyes shouted, “Look! Dead bodies! There are so many dead bodies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Corpses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicholas' eyes froze as he heard the statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and looked closely to where the consummate True God had pointed, and sure it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead bodies were scattered everywhere on the cold ground on the side of the snow mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They noticed that the corpses wore the same clothes and they died in different gestures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the corpses were covered with a layer of transparent ice, and they were densely packed under the ice, forming a road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden appearance of so many strange corpses caused everyone to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thump, thump, thump...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They heard the footsteps of the Demon Ice Sculpture, which reminded them that it was still chasing after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That huge ice sculpture is coming up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run! Leave these corpses alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, it seems that the ice sculpture is unable to enter the snow mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a closer look, someone found out that the Demon Ice Sculpture seemed to slow down when it was close to the snow mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it reached the snow mountain, it began to pace to and fro. After it made a few turns, its figure retreated and went back to the snowfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, including Nicholas, breathed a sigh of relief at this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't know why the Demon Ice Sculpture left and stopped following them but it was undoubtedly the right choice to rush into the snow mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short rest, the crowd turned their eyes once again to the corpses under the ice. The sudden appearance of so many corpses gave them another strange kind of feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicholas descended from the sky and landed on the top of the ice. He scanned the faces of the corpses through the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he looked over a number of corpses, a hint of astonishment and hesitation flashed across his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These corpses... They look exactly the same!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the change on Nicholas' expression, Clark, Murphy and the rest flew down and gathered around. They took a look and also found the same strange thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearances and clothes of the dead bodies were exactly the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole ice area along the way was full of this person's corpses. There were probably tens of thousands of corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This man looks familiar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy stared at the corpses for a long time. Suddenly his eyebrows raised as he said, “Oh, yes. I remember he was from the Luo Clan. He was the junior who cultivated the Emotion Closing Godly Way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Chen didn't stay on the Floating Island for a long time, but he had imprinted a good impression to everyone. He was after all the only one who practiced the Emotion Closing Godly Way. Murphy recognized him since he once had met him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This man cultivated the Emotion Closing Godly Way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicholas asked upon hearing Murphy's words. He suddenly thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was reminded that in the ice palace, someone had saved the woman. That person was a Demi-holy Being who cultivated the Emotion Closing Godly Way. He recalled that his strength was quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person, who came out of nowhere, might be strong but in the end was killed by the Holy Beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't see anything in the darkness at that time, but with the help of their spiritual senses, they were able to remember all the features of the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicholas closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense to the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense swept across the faces of these corpses and confirmed his thoughts. He opened his eyes and said, “He is the Demi-holy Being you killed in the ice palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why are there so many corpses?” Clark looked completely puzzled, with an incredible expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murphy narrowed his eyes and spoke, “There is only one explanation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicholas looked at him and nodded. “Right. He was cloned. That woman's ability...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then raised his head and looked forward. The corpses spread out all the way, and laid out a path which extended to the top of the snow mountain. It looked weird but appeared magnificent at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is her purpose in cloning him for so many times?” Zeke who was standing not far away questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicholas shook his head. He thought for a while and said, “Maybe she has the same purpose as us. She wants to get the True Demon Body with the help of these clones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever. Let's go up the mountain first. We can always find the answer,” Clark finally uttered and urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group once again moved and ran towards the snow mountain top along the path formed by the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thump, thump, thump...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Ice Sculpture, which had been chasing the Holy Beings, returned. Its steps were slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It moved step by step across the snowfield, leaving huge footprints on the thick snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After it went quite a far distance, the center of one of the huge footprints suddenly collapsed, and a black hole appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figures flew out of the hole one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman floated in the air, looked to the southwest and said, “That group of Holy Beings should start climbing the mountain now. We should speed up!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1378,"2026-06-06T08:27:33.687Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e8f3de8a6488adfc7c2963d1111dd2de660216e213d086fd2f4a4e2f654e2f2","apotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-chapter-2397","apotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-chapter-2395",3927,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-cover.jpg"]
