Chapter 234: Disaster from Above

Inside Extreme North City.

The endless blizzard, carrying extreme temperatures nearing absolute zero, swept across this group of Fallen Ones with minds full of lewd filth.

But after all, there was no lack of high-level Soul Emperor powerhouses among them, even if the power of 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】 far exceeded ordinary soul skills, and even if Ning Feiliu was quite powerful due to the successive enhancements of multiple Soul Rings.

Yet they certainly would not be defeated all at once.

However...

The most powerful aspect of 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】 lies not in its destructive power, but in that continuous freezing control.

One second... two seconds... three seconds...

The continuous 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】, while consuming a large amount of Ning Feiliu's soul power in percentage terms, also gradually froze those soul masters who were still struggling.

Even though some of them reacted from the start, releasing their martial souls and soul skills, however...

After five seconds, they were all frozen into ice sculptures.

As for Ning Feiliu...

"Connecting Arm! Fourth soul skill!"

The Fourth Soul Ring at Ning Feiliu's feet lit up, and he shouted, "Azure Flow Wave-Breaking Strike!"

He raised the Connecting Arm in his hand, and then instantly erupted with a terrifying emerald-green storm, submerging the ice sculptures before him.

"Whoosh—!!"

Gusts of wind like blades tore apart the ice sculptures covered in ice and snow one by one.

"Whoosh—! Whoosh—!"

The ice sculptures were shattered into snowflakes by the Azure Flow Wave-Breaking Strike and dissipated into the air.

In an instant, all the Fallen Ones who had harbored evil intentions were completely wiped out by Ning Feiliu!

Shui Bing'er and the others were filled with disbelief at this moment, watching Ning Feiliu kill dozens of seemingly quite powerful soul masters so easily.

You must know... that Huang Laosan and Aodu from before had claimed they were Soul Emperor-level powerhouses.

Among these twenty-plus Fallen Ones, there were indeed many powerful soul masters like Huang Laosan and Aodu.

Not to say all twenty-plus were Soul Emperors, but there were at least eight Soul Emperors, and three were even high-level Soul Emperors with soul power above level 67.

Yet they were all dealt with by Ning Feiliu in an instant.

Ning Feiliu, however, felt it was quite normal; first of all... he had used sixty percent of his soul power all at once to release 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】.

The exploding of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, coupled with the fact that his current strength was no longer what it used to be, meant that during the release of the 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】 just now...

Those twenty-plus Fallen Ones, apart from the eight Soul Emperors, had actually all been frozen to death.

Therefore, after killing so many Fallen Ones, the effect of the Rune Presence of Mind activated, immediately filling the sixty percent soul power deficit Ning Feiliu had consumed.

The subsequently released 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】, as well as the fourth soul skill of Connecting Arm, Azure Flow Wave-Breaking Strike, were thus able to complete the continued control of the remaining eight Soul Emperors and the final lethality.

In fact, it was mainly because the strength of these Fallen Ones did not seem very high.

After all, they were all Fallen Ones, basically none of whom came from great families or major forces, so the quality of their martial souls was not very good, and their Soul Ring combinations were not optimal either.

Added to that, all of them were slightly careless when facing the very young Ning Feiliu and Shui Bing'er.

That was why they were seemingly easily wiped out by Ning Feiliu in a short time.

But even so...

"Feiliu... so strong," Xue Wu said, somewhat dazed.

They had trusted Ning Feiliu from the beginning; after all, during their previous travels, they had seen Ning Feiliu directly defeat some Soul Emperor powerhouses.

However, at that time, Ning Feiliu had defeated those Soul Emperor powerhouses with experience and superb technique.

It was completely different from now, where he directly released two terrifyingly powerful soul skills and wiped out these twenty-plus soul masters before them! This was also the first time they had seen this Blessing Skill of Ning Feiliu's—【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】.

It was truly... too powerful.

That extreme low temperature that seemed capable of freezing everything.

It really gave them the feeling of facing a god.

"Alright, let's find a place to stay first; we've finally cleaned up these disgusting guys," Ning Feiliu said to the girls with a faint smile.

He seemed not to care much about his terrifying battle record just now.

Shui Bing'er looked at his familiar, handsome face that showed no fluctuations at all, but... her heartbeat quickened once more.

Feiliu... was far more powerful and mysterious than they had imagined.

How many more things were there about this handsome youth, who was always gentle and indifferent, that they did not know?

And... where did he come from?

Although she knew Ning Feiliu came from Heaven Dou City, Shui Bing'er had never heard him speak of his background.

It must be some great family or powerful force...

Then, for such a powerful, excellent, and well-born Ning Feiliu, she really... was completely unworthy.

Thinking of how Ning Feiliu once said he had a sweetheart, Shui Bing'er felt empty inside.

With such an excellent Ning Feiliu, it was no wonder that only that girl, who was also a peerless genius, could be his sweetheart...

Thinking this, Shui Bing'er followed Ning Feiliu, intending to leave.

But just as they were about to move...

Suddenly, Ning Feiliu widened his eyes and looked toward... the city wall of Extreme North City on one side! "What's wrong? Brother Feiliu?" Shui Yue'er asked, somewhat curious.

However, not long after, she also discovered the reason why...

Because she felt that from the direction of the Extreme North City wall that Ning Feiliu was looking at, a truly terrifyingly powerful aura was rapidly approaching! All the girls felt it.

This aura, although very similar to the ice and snow power carrying the ultimate cold and ice that Ning Feiliu had just released with 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】...

But although Ning Feiliu's 【Summoning of the Ice and Snow God】 just now felt like a god descending, its actual power was not this strong, nor could it truly give one a suffocating feeling where even breathing was about to be frozen.

This aura... was one that truly made you feel that if you did nothing, all your vitality would be frozen away.

Although... it felt like it didn't have the powerful sense of oppression that came from the sky when Ning Feiliu released the 【Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow】 just now.

But the aura and the feeling in reality were genuinely powerful! It was as if one was a statue of a deity that was heavy as a thousand jun but sat steadily there, while the other was a muscular man with a body full of muscles.

Although the statue had the oppressive feeling of a thousand jun, it would not fall down and crush a group of people to death.

But the muscular man could truly kill people directly! And the suffocating feeling this aura brought to people...

It was at least equivalent to a powerhouse like a Title Douluo, who could carry such a powerful sense of oppression!

In the cognition of Shui Bing'er and the others, they could only think of a combat level like a Title Douluo, who could have such great oppression from several miles away! "What are you dazing for! Hurry and leave here!" Just at this moment, an angry shout woke up Shui Bing'er and the other girls.

It was Ning Feiliu, and at this moment, he no longer had his previous composure.

Because he... at this moment, thought of some very terrifying things.

Such a powerful aura carrying Extreme Ice Power, and this was also a town on the edge of the Extreme North...

Apart from the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, he could not think of any other existence that could be so powerful.

But who among the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North could this be? It was unlikely for Xue Di to leave the core area of the Extreme North; as for the remaining Bing Di and A Tai, who exactly was it? And why did they suddenly descend here? It is well known that the relationship between humans and Soul Beasts has always been not very good.

Although this was still the era ruled by the Spirit Hall, during this period before Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King appeared, Soul Beasts could only be as simple as a source of Soul Rings for humans.

But this did not mean that the relationship between Soul Beasts and humans could be any better.

Soul Beasts were only temporarily dormant at this time because they yielded to the powerful strength of the Spirit Hall, plus there was no supreme powerhouse like Di Tian standing out.

The Extreme North was also a gathering area for Soul Beasts that was currently difficult for humans to set foot in.

Then, were Bing Di and A Tai rushing out to take revenge and vent because they hated humans? Ning Feiliu's brain turned rapidly, and he could only think of this result.

And the most critical thing now was how to preserve himself.

He did not have the idea of going out to be a savior.

If he had to sacrifice himself to be a savior, he was not that fearless.

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others suddenly woke up as if from a dream, quickly wanting to retreat backwards...

But...

That powerful aura had not yet descended, but a biting blizzard had already started blowing all around. It was even... no less inferior to Ning Feiliu's 【Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow】 just now.

Ning Feiliu felt okay, after all, he had taken the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, plus he had a blessing, and his own strength was powerful.

But he could not completely be immune to the influence brought by this blizzard, and his movements slowed down slightly.

Then there was no need to mention Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others.

Even if they were Spirit Masters of the ice attribute and water attribute, they had a higher tolerance for low temperatures.

But now, one by one, their teeth were chattering, and their speed had slowed down like a turtle.

"Not right!" Ning Feiliu felt the aura behind him approaching them rapidly at this time, and immediately discovered something was wrong.

The other party... was coming for them!

Why? Why come for them? If it were Bing Di and A Tai, why must they come for them?

Ning Feiliu could not figure it out at all, but he knew... if they were coming for them, this would be a devastating disaster! "Bing'er! You take them and leave quickly!" He made a prompt decision and shouted.

Shui Bing'er immediately stopped hesitating, and while chattering, she looked at Xue Wu beside her!

"Xiao Wu! We... let's activate... the Spirit Fusion Skill!" She said with difficulty.

"Okay...!" Xue Wu also responded with difficulty.

At this moment, Xue Wu danced on the spot with difficulty.

Her black hair fluttered, she danced gracefully, the four Soul Rings on her body shone alternately, and circles of blue light halos spread out along with her dance.

Shui Bing'er moved, hugging Xue Wu who was beside her in the blizzard.

The blue hair and black hair instantly merged into one, turning into a dazzling blue-white beam of light that rushed into the dark clouds in the sky.

The bodies of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu disappeared at the same time, and their Spirit Fusion Skill finally erupted.

"Ice and Snow Fluttering!!"

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu turned into snowflakes fluttering in the air, but every single snowflake was as sharp as a blade, floating down while rotating, turning into a vortex of ice and snow.

However, they were not attacking, but rotating around Shen Liuyun, Shui Yue'er, and the others who were already unable to move, isolating the terrifying blizzard.

"Don't worry about me." Just as Ice and Snow Fluttering was about to cover Ning Feiliu, Ning Feiliu waved his hand and said.

He looked at the even more terrifying blizzard in front, and under the intensity of the current blizzard, it was faintly about to collapse.

If it went on like this... Shui Bing'er and the others would not be able to leave.

So he had to stall for some time here.

He was not going to sacrifice himself here either; after all, he had a very strong resistance to extreme low temperatures, and he could still get away even if he moved a bit slower.

But if Shui Bing'er and the others didn't have him to stall for time, they would only die here.

So he had to do this for his friends.

"I'll stall for some time, and I'll catch up with you later." At this moment, the second Soul Ring under Ning Feiliu's feet... also tore through its disguise and was currently restless, emitting light.

"Let's go!" Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth at this time and said immediately.

Because their strength was truly not enough to help Ning Feiliu.

The girls also realized that if they stayed, they might become a burden to Ning Feiliu, so they could only leave here quickly.

However, the blizzard became even larger, and a crack faintly appeared in the vortex of Ice and Snow Fluttering at this time.

"Summoning of the God of... Smelting!!!"

Ning Feiliu made a prompt decision and directly shattered his second Soul Ring!

Severing Soul fired forward, and it seemed that in the void, an ancient horn cut through the sky and came!

This horn sound was like the heavenly court falling, and also like a volcano erupting; it seemed as if a majestic deity who mastered iron and fire was in front, letting out an angry roar that shook the world.

A giant goat that looked as if it were cast entirely from lava and fire suddenly appeared!

Its majestic body was a full ten meters high, and its body length was as long as 30 meters; the huge goat horns on its head flashed with the light of burning iron blocks, roaring at the world with the power to shake the heavens and earth! The moment it appeared in the world, the terrifying high temperature made even the extreme low temperature of the blizzard seem to be opened up, becoming slightly warmer.

It's just that this warmth might only be an increase from minus one hundred degrees to minus ninety-nine degrees.

After all, the gap in power was simply too vast.

But this was enough.

The Ice and Snow Fluttering protecting the girls' vortex began to spin at high speed once more, rapidly retreating toward the rear.

"Hah—!!"

He waved his large hand, and the lava elements instantly roared as they rushed toward the core of the blizzard ahead.

Two consecutive instances of Exploding Ring, however, left Ning Feiliu feeling somewhat dizzy and lightheaded.

He gritted his teeth and held on firmly; that indomitable will was maintaining his state.

In truth, using Exploding Ring once, aside from a massive consumption of mental energy, would have caused him no other problems.

But... two consecutive Exploding Rings in a short period of time, that was different.

The consumption of soul power didn't count for much, because he had Presence of Mind; the main issue was the mental and physical impact.

If not for Ning Feiliu possessing the indomitable will of Atreus, he would already be bleeding from his nostrils and suffering from mental trauma.

"Time to go..." Yet, after launching the subsequent attack of the molten elements, he began to harbor thoughts of retreating.

He was only stalling for time, not planning to sacrifice himself here.

So he should leave too!

However, the next moment, "Boom—"

The lava elements hadn't even run a few dozen meters before they were torn apart by that terrifying blizzard, frozen into snowflakes, and dissipated.

And Ning Feiliu could feel that the terrifying blizzard was drawing closer...

He could feel the extreme low temperature, approaching minus 150 degrees Celsius, engulfing him, making his footsteps sluggish.

This was the first time since Ning Feiliu had swallowed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass... that he felt cold.

Just as mentioned before, the immunity to water and fire from the Blazing Apricot Delicate and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass did not mean he was truly completely unafraid of water and fire.

Otherwise, wouldn't Ning Feiliu be able to just eat the Blazing Apricot Delicate and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and be invincible against Spirit Masters of ice and fire attributes, no matter how great the difference in soul power rank?

Would he not even fear a Title Douluo?

In fact, it only gave him a higher tolerance for low and high temperatures.

It roughly means he is a "heat-resistant king" and "cold-resistant king," capable of withstanding a minimum low temperature of minus one hundred and thirty degrees and a maximum high temperature of at least ten thousand degrees.

As his cultivation improves, this tolerance level will continue to increase.

Yet now, the low temperature brought by this blizzard clearly exceeded the extreme low-temperature tolerance Ning Feiliu had after consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

At this moment, Ning Feiliu sincerely felt...

Cold.

Cold to the point of being unbearable; this reminded Ning Feiliu of a night in his past life during his childhood when a cold wave struck, that feeling of the cold wind scraping his bones like blades.

At this moment, his teeth also began to chatter, and he struggled to resist the cold with his soul power.

But after only a short while, Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment.

And at this time... he suddenly felt not cold anymore.

Instead... it was hot.

Very, very hot.

He had the feeling that he wanted to take off his clothes right now.

However, just at this moment...

"Feiliu!!!" A familiar voice came from behind him.

It was... Shui Bing'er!

Her face was already covered in frost in this blizzard, yet she was charging toward him with determination! (End of chapter)
