Chapter 1160: This Place Has Ice

Xu Qing, standing on the seaweed, spoke these two words calmly.

As if it were natural and proper, as if this were simply right.

No need for extra intimidation; even if, aside from Xing Huanzi, everyone around were Huntu people.

And the calmer he became, the greater the invisible pressure he brought upon the Huntu people here.

Because this is the Fifth Star Ring.

Humanity supreme!

Outside the palace, the many clansmen of the Huntu Imperial Clan had solemn expressions.

While facing a great enemy, their hearts also sank.

To them, the previous Star Ring Child was already extremely strong, and now this second appearance was even more shocking to their hearts and minds.

Especially that seaweed!

They naturally also knew this was the true form of the Jia Character Twenty-Ninth Prison.

And to be able to command this seaweed and bring it here to wage war!

This scene carries profound meaning.

The resulting turmoil in heart and mind is naturally even greater.

Especially these Huntu people—they are no longer in their former glory, and within them, no clansman has truly seen the past history with their own eyes.

The moment this generation of them was born was when humanity reigned as heaven.

Even if the Aurora Heaven Beyond Heaven lost its master, in their bones, they still hold reverence for humanity.

Only because of the dignity of the Huntu Emperor, they temporarily suppressed their reverence for humanity!

But this suppression, when facing a strong human, ultimately cannot be contained.

At this moment, Xu Qing's calm, his powerful arrival, and the echoing sound in all directions cause these Huntu people to one by one recall their reverence for humanity.

Some have already instinctively lowered their heads.

This is the servility engraved in their blood.

It is also an important means for the human race of the Fifth Star Ring to dominate other races.

At this moment, the colossal face formed by the Huntu Emperor is seen clearly.

Thus he fell silent.

Gazing at Xu Qing.

Then…… a flash of light from his brow, and a token flew out.

This token emitted a soft white light, its front engraved with the character for "exempt," its back bearing the sound of spiritual light.

"My clan, long ago favored by the Spiritual Light Heaven Beyond Heaven, has already acknowledged a great figure of the Spiritual Light Heaven Beyond Heaven as lord, and was bestowed this token, which exempts from all levies."

The Huntu Emperor spoke slowly.

As his words echoed, the white light radiating from this exemption token suddenly spread, enveloping the palace and isolating it from the outside world.

And this palace floating in the starry sky of the Huntu people is actually, in fact, the entrance of the Huntu tribe!

Xu Qing had previously heard Xing Huanzi mention this exemption token; though he did not know the specifics, he reasoned that since it could be bestowed and taken out by the Huntu Emperor in this manner, this token must carry significance.

And on the way here, he also sent a sound transmission to Zhou Zhengli, inquiring.

Zhou Zhengli, in gathering information, was quite thorough and told Xu Qing everything he knew.

In the Fifth Star Ring, there are some ethnic groups that, for various reasons, receive exemption tokens bestowed by different Heavens Beyond Heaven; generally speaking, when the Metal Makers encounter such groups, they can only choose to retreat.

But……

A flash of dark light appeared in Xu Qing's eyes; facing the exemption token, he raised his right hand and took out the special mission jade slip given by the Poison Lord!

"By the order of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord, seek the mysterious nine-colored ice capable of extinguishing the Divine Lord's fire!"

Saying this, Xu Qing coldly gazed at the Huntu Emperor and spoke lightly!

"This matter is of great importance; I suspect your clan possesses this object, and now I wish to investigate."

As Xu Qing's words fell, the special mission jade slip in his hand immediately began to flash, emitting waves of radiant light, sweeping outward; when this light touched the white light of the exemption token, it instantly twisted.

In the next instant, the white radiance of the exemption token directly vanished, no longer enveloping the palace.

The surrounding Huntu people, perhaps not yet fully reacted, but the Huntu Emperor's expression changed.

This scene exceeded his judgment.

Normally, the exemption token possessed by their clan would be enough to make the Metal Makers retreat, but no matter how, he also did not expect that this human before him would actually have such a mission.

This made him feel somewhat absurd!

The Nine Shores Immortal Lord—what kind of existence is that, to have a quasi-Immortal Warrior strength go collect the mysterious ice capable of extinguishing the Divine Lord's fire? He does not believe it!

But the mission jade slip, containing a special mark, is genuine and undeniable; most importantly, the behavior of the exemption token also fully confirms the truth!

This caused the Huntu Emperor's heart and mind to be stirred by great waves.

Because, even if their clan possesses the exemption token, when facing the Nine Shores Immortal Lord's mission, its authority is clearly superior!

This scene is not only reflected in the changing expressions of the Huntu Imperial Clan's clansmen, but even Xing Huanzi's eyes narrowed as he looked at Xu Qing's mission jade slip.

Evidently, even he was utterly surprised.

And Xu Qing, at this moment, stepped down from the seaweed and walked toward the front-facing Huntu Palace.

Each step he took caused ripples in the starry sky.

Each time he drew closer, the Huntu Emperor on the palace experienced a change in expression.

Until Xu Qing had walked seven or eight steps, the colossal face formed by the Huntu Emperor vanished; his true form did not walk out of the palace, but stood in the starry sky.

A hundred zhang tall, crimson body, strange double-faced, appearing the moment a shocking cultivation fluctuation burst forth, transforming into an obstruction, an invisible pressure landing before Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's footsteps paused, and he calmly looked at this Huntu Emperor.

"You wish to block my investigation?"

The Emperor of the Primordial Heaven stared at Xu Qing, speaking in a low voice.

"My clan has no Nine-Colored Ice!"

"Whether there is or not, we'll know after checking!" Looking at the Book-Seeking Study Pavilion

The one who spoke these words was not Xu Qing, but the Star Ring Child beside him.

The Emperor of the Primordial Heaven fell silent, then sighed, admitting he had miscalculated this time. He raised his hand and grabbed—immediately, the relic of the Fourth True Lord flew out from the imperial palace behind him and landed in his palm.

He intended to settle the matter peacefully; since the other party wanted this object, then... sending it away would do.

Although this object is extremely precious, compared to what the clan is currently doing, he could only choose to send it away.

Thus, he was about to speak.

But just then, his expression suddenly shifted.

And Xu Qing's eyes also narrowed instantly as he gazed toward the imperial palace.

At the seaweed's location, almost simultaneously with Xu Qing sensing something, its leaves trembled violently, and its aura grew sharp.

Inside the imperial palace, a transmission fluctuation was spreading outward.

Someone was transmitting in.

The Emperor of the Primordial Heaven narrowed his eyes, clenched his right hand, and reclaimed the clump of Heavenly Principle Earth he had intended to send away. The words he had been about to speak were thus changed accordingly.

"An emissary of my master has descended upon our clan."

"Regarding matters here, my Hun Tian clan will obey the arrangements of the Upper Lord."

Saying this, the Emperor of the Primordial Heaven turned and bowed toward the imperial palace.

All the clanspeople around lowered their heads and bowed in worship.

Immediately afterward, the transmission fluctuation intensified, rumbling as a massive pillar of light descended from the starry void above the imperial palace, stirring up layer upon layer of waves.

This scene was not unfamiliar to Xu Qing—it was identical to the transmission when he returned to his own universe.

In the next instant, as the light pillar descended, an aura approaching that of a lower immortal surged up from within the imperial palace, shaking the heavens.

This aura was terrifying to the extreme, causing wrinkles in the starry sky, as everything around became saturated with thick immortal energy.

All things related to deities were repelled before this immortal aura—it was the aura emanating from an immortal embryo.

The visitor was only a hair's breadth away from having their immortal embryo transform into a true immortal. The Star Ring Child's expression grew heavy, and Xu Qing furrowed his brow.

Subsequently, as everyone gazed upon the great gate atop the imperial palace, it suddenly burst open at that moment.

A force like mountains collapsing and seas overturning erupted from within.

Like volcanic magma surging forth.

Amid the rumbling, a middle-aged cultivator wearing a crimson robe stepped out from within, his face grim and cold.

Each step he took caused the starry sky to tremble.

By the time he had fully stepped out, the Emperor of the Primordial Heaven became solemn and immediately bowed, his clanspeople doing the same with utmost reverence.

"We greet the Upper Envoy!"

The visitor's aura was terrifying, and with the entire Hun Tian clan bowing, their presence instantly coalesced into a staggering momentum.

At the same time, the seaweed swayed instinctively, its divine sense rapidly transmitting into Xu Qing's mind.

"He bears the aura of the Warden Envoy who left a seal on the True God's wound."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes.

Meanwhile, the crimson-robed middle-aged cultivator who had just emerged from the imperial palace now cast a gaze of inexplicable dignity over the surroundings, his eyes landing on the seaweed, flashing with strange light!

Then he turned his gaze toward Xu Qing, standing before the seaweed!

"It's you—colluding with this vile plant to steal my master's divine grain?"

Upon hearing this, the bowed Emperor of the Primordial Heaven blinked, as if lost in thought.

The Star Ring Child's expression darkened, he fixed his stare on the middle-aged cultivator, and the Order Constitution on his body began to operate.
