Chapter 256: Ice-Sealed Heavenly Dao

"Forcing me to unleash my true ultimate art…" the Heavenly Disaster finally steadied his stance—he was in a massive pit on the ground! This pit had been blasted out alive by the Royal Old Ancestor and Dongfang Wuji together!

The Heavenly Disaster's face was truly as if frozen solid! Not only his face, but his hands and feet too—his whole body was icing over! He was furious! He was enraged!

All that could be seen was him bending over, pressing both hands against the shattered ground.

The Heavenly Disaster roared, "Ice-Sealed Heavenly Dao!"

Suddenly, a speck of ice blossom spilled from his fingertips, spreading along the ground outward in all directions!

"Stop him quickly!" the Royal Old Ancestor shouted at Dongfang Wuji.

Dongfang Wuji also noticed the Heavenly Disaster's odd state; he picked up the demonic ball and hurled it straight at him.

Demonic balls came one after another, continuously bombarding the Heavenly Disaster.

The Royal Old Ancestor went further, directly lifting a shattered mountain and slamming it into the Heavenly Disaster.

But it was already too late; no one could stop the Heavenly Disaster now!

Ice blossoms formed a barrier, enveloping the Heavenly Disaster within.

All external attacks were blocked by the barrier; within a short time, no one could break through!

For some unknown reason, Wu Rong suddenly cried out, "Run!"

Chen Yi He was still curious—clearly they were hundreds of li away, could the shockwave still reach them? Even if it did, the power that arrived here would be merely a remnant; they could easily face it!

Chen Yi He even found it amusing! The Royal Old Ancestor and Dongfang Wuji were in the sky, while the Heavenly Disaster's move spread across the earth like a blanket—could it possibly affect them?

Soon, Chen Yi He no longer felt amused or curious!

In an instant, the ice blossoms expanded tens of thousands of times! Not just the earth—even the heavens froze over!

Ice blossoms rose from the earth, spreading along the firmament toward the heavens; they surged upward without restraint, sealing the sky in ice!

The two sovereigns of the heavens became the targets of the ice seal!

The temperature between heaven and earth plummeted rapidly! Before the ice blossoms arrived, the chill had already come.

Chen Yi He, Wu Rong, and the Young Palace Master were fleeing at great speed, yet the ice blossoms moved even faster!

"Ah!" Wu Rong, wounded, had his foot entangled by ice blossoms; in the snap of a finger, his whole body was frozen solid!

Wu Rong became an ice sculpture!

Chen Yi He merely glanced back, thinking to save Wu Rong a bit, but before he could react, he too turned into an ice sculpture.

The Young Palace Master could not escape either.

The three spectators became three ice sculptures.

As far as the eye could see, the vast land was trapped in ice and snow! Across a thousand li of earth, there was no place to set foot! Countless beings perished miserably in the freezing cold, their faces locked in terror even in death.

Looking up at the sky, even the cloud layers were frozen. The south‑flying geese turned straight into ice sculptures hanging in the heavens.

What kind of power is this?

This is the power of the Heavenly Dao.

This is the power of the Heavenly Disaster.

Even the two experts of the Sevenfold Heaven in the sky could not escape! No matter how they resisted or what techniques they used to defend, it was all in vain, becoming part of myriad ice sculptures.

Even heaven and earth can be sealed in ice! Where the ice‑seal ends is unknown; it very well may be another battlefield.

"Heh… no one can defeat the Heavenly Dao, nor can they defeat me!" the Heavenly Disaster shook his arms toward the sky and bellowed, "No one can defeat me!!!" He was also spent; his move "Ice-Sealed Heavenly Dao" had exhausted his "Heavenly Dao power", but at least the outcome was good.

The Heavenly Disaster believed in his own strength, gazing at the sky‑wide ice, he nodded with satisfaction—this all was his masterpiece! This expanse of ice‑sealed heaven and earth was his proud creation.

But has it all ended?

A wisp of black demonic qi seeped out from the ice sculpture, silently, just a tiny strand.

"Crack…" the faintest cracking sound could not escape the Heavenly Disaster's ears.

The Heavenly Disaster looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw that an ice sculpture in the heavens had cracked open.

It was Dongfang Wuji.

Dongfang Wuji actually forced his way to break the ice sculpture's seal!

That was utterly impossible!

The Heavenly Disaster believed his move "Ice-Sealed Heaven and Earth" had never failed before, and he did not think he would fail today.

He had used this move, originally exhausting all his strength; it was a technique forced out by his opponent.

"Ahhh! Uh‑ahhh!" Dongfang Wuji roared! His roar shook heaven and earth!

"Boom!" Dongfang Wuji burst through the ice sculpture!

"Ah! I'm freezing to death, freezing to death, I'm cold! Damn, son of a bitch!" Dongfang Wuji shivered violently, arms crossed, constantly rubbing his arms with his palms just to warm himself a bit.

The Heavenly Disaster anticipated that things had taken a turn for the worse.

Dongfang Wuji punched the ice sculpture that bound the Royal Old Ancestor!

Another "boom"!

The Royal Old Ancestor also broke free.

The Royal Old Ancestor knelt there, his body covered in ice blossoms, his face coated with a thick layer of frost. His nails were like ice daggers, driven deep into the cloud layers.

"Thanks for the trouble." the Royal Old Ancestor said to Dongfang Wuji.

"It's my duty." Dongfang Wuji waved a hand and asked, "We've both reached the point of exhausted oil and wick; how should we deal with that person?"

"Even if I die today, I'll trade my life for his!" the Royal Old Ancestor clenched his fists and declared firmly.

"Oh? Looks like you've got a trick up your sleeve. Hehe…" Dongfang Wuji chuckled.

The Royal Old Ancestor took out a very small wooden box from his sleeve.

The tiny wooden box was exquisitely crafted, apparently made of the most costly wood; he opened it, and three drops of scarlet blood floated up from within.

They slowly floated up before the Royal Old Ancestor's face.

Three drops of essence blood! It is the essence blood that Chen Yi He gave him!

The Imperial Ancestor opened his mouth, and those three drops of essence blood flew into his mouth!

Immediately afterward, the Imperial Ancestor's entire body was bathed by those three drops of essence blood, and, in conjunction with the mental method of the Longevity Scripture, not only was his injury being swiftly healed, but he was also being granted a true qi that grew ever stronger.

That power surged forth from the Imperial Ancestor's body, continuously expanding outward! It was as if the surrounding heaven and earth were a huge vessel, to be filled by his power!

Even heaven and earth could hardly contain his power!

"Taking accumulated yang as spirit, accumulated yin as form, yin and yang two halves, combining into the body..." the Imperial Ancestor chanted softly.

The Imperial Ancestor flew up again, his arms spread wide, his hands open, awaiting the Longevity Scripture and Chen Yi He's essence blood to bestow power upon him.

"Heavenly Calamity, just wait to die!" the Imperial Ancestor shouted, only to see his body suffused with light, an impenetrable color shining through his flesh!

Heavenly Calamity raised its head, gazing at the Imperial Ancestor high above, his feelings complex.
