Chapter 1866: I Will Make Her Kneel and Beg Me! Pristine Ice Plains!

"Lord Dust Rock.

Lord Frost Crown and her disciple—something seems off about their relationship?"

Xu Jingming and Frost Crown turned into streams of light and vanished into the horizon.

Only the Black-Robed Immortal Sovereign dared to fly forward.

He lowered his voice and spoke cautiously.

He had followed Lord Dust Rock for many years.

Lei Shen Zhi knew this lord's obsession with Frost Crown, and even now his words carried hesitation.

"You noticed it too?"

Lord Dust Rock's face darkened like water, his moon-white robe snapping in the icy wind of the frozen plain.

He had sensed something wrong earlier, desperately trying to convince himself otherwise.

He told himself it was just deep master-disciple affection, a harmonious relationship.

But now even his own subordinate saw through it—how could he keep deceiving himself?

"Subordinate dares not speculate, but..."

The Black-Robed Sovereign weighed his words: "Given Lord Frost Crown's nature,

unless she trusted someone completely, she would never relax so openly before others."

He paused, then added:

"I have followed you for years and have seen Lord Frost Crown many times.

When has she ever shown such an expression to anyone?

And certainly not dressed like that."

"Hmph."

Lord Dust Rock slowly turned around.

His usually gentle, handsome face was now overcast with storm clouds, his pale gold eyes seeming to brew a tempest within.

He curled the corner of his mouth into a cold arc, his voice soft yet chilling:

"Frost Crown, this wretched woman!

Before me, she always acts aloof, pure as ice and jade.

I gave her the Ice Soul Lustrous Flower—she didn't even glance at it.

I spoke kindly, she rebuffed me with cold words.

For hundreds of thousands of years, she hasn't even given me a smile.

But look at her disciple?

Dressed so basely, laughing so wantonly, sitting together eating meat.

Master and disciple? I'd say they're more like lovers!"

The last few words were almost squeezed out between his teeth.

The Black-Robed Sovereign's heart shuddered; he lowered his head, daring not to respond.

"Please calm yourself, my lord."

He quickly said, "Then what should we do now?"

"Not yet."

Lord Dust Rock drew a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging emotions.

He gazed toward the direction Xu Jingming and Frost Crown had departed, his eyes deep:

"The Pristine Ice Plains—I've long known of that place.

The ultimate 'Pristine' environment suppresses perception of all fundamental laws.

Elemental masters who enter retain at most one-tenth of their strength."

He slowly drew a cold smile at the corner of his mouth:

"Frost Crown follows the ice fundamental law path—once she enters the Pristine Ice Plains,

even with her supreme sovereign cultivation, retaining thirty percent would be not bad.

By then..."

He paused, his voice revealing undisguised malice:

"I want to see, without the support of fundamental laws, how she'll still pretend to be aloof before me."

The Black-Robed Sovereign felt a chill down his spine and hastily bowed:

"Yes! Subordinate understands!"

"Let's go."

Lord Dust Rock swept his sleeve:

"Follow them, slowly toy with them.

By then, I will make her kneel and beg me!"

If he had once still harbored some genuine affection for Frost Crown.

After seeing that scene just now, his mindset has become twisted.

The affection remains, but it has turned more into possessiveness.

And a kind of madness: if I can't have her, no one else can either.

To achieve his goal, he will stop at nothing!

"Yes, my lord!"

The Black-Robed Sovereign felt the icy killing intent emanating from Lord Dust Rock.

His expression tightened, and he hastily bowed and replied.

At the same time, on the other side.

Xu Jingming and the Frost Crown Sovereign were speeding across the icy-blue sky.

"Tsk, that Dust Rock really kills the mood—I was just about to catch a fish."

Xu Jingming curled his lips, his tone full of displeasure:

"Finally got a moment to relax, and he had to mess it up."

"That's just how Dust Rock is—lingering like a vengeful spirit.

It's been like this for hundreds of thousands of years; otherwise, I wouldn't be so annoyed by him."

The Frost Crown Sovereign flew beside him, a flicker of annoyance also crossing her icy-blue eyes.

She paused, her icy-blue eyes glancing at Xu Jingming, her tone softening slightly:

"If you really want to fish, wait until this matter in the Water Realm is settled, then return to Blue Star—I'll accompany you."

"Oh?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile:

"Thank you, Teacher! Then it's settled!"

"Hmm."

The Frost Crown Sovereign gave a slight nod, her icy-blue eyes glancing at him:

"In that case, I'll keep that outfit for now."

Her words faded.

Icy-blue divine power flowed around her like water waves, light flashing and vanishing in an instant.

Looking again, the alluring light-blue bikini had disappeared completely.

In its place was her usual icy-blue form-fitting battle attire.

It tightly wrapped her striking figure, restoring her former cold and dignified appearance.

Although Xu Jingming felt a bit regretful, he didn't mind too much.

After all, the teacher had promised to go fishing with him again on Blue Star......

The two said no more, accelerating as they flew deeper into the realm.

As they drew closer to the Pristine Ice Plains, the surrounding environment changed more and more noticeably.

The vast icy-blue ocean gradually faded away.

Replaced by vast expanses of floating giant ice floes.

The temperature plummeted sharply, even the water vapor in the air condensing into fine ice crystals that sparkled like diamonds under the halo's glow.

"My perception of the ice-origin law is growing weaker and weaker."

The Frost Crown Sovereign suddenly spoke, her willow brows slightly furrowed.

She tried to mobilize the ice-origin within her body.

But found that the ultimate law, which had once been as responsive as an arm to a finger,

now felt as if shrouded in a thick mist—perception blurred and sluggish.

"My perception of the thunder-origin law is similarly fading."

Xu Jingming nodded, pondering:

"It seems the closer we get to the Pristine Ice Plains, the stricter the law suppression becomes."

According to the information provided by the Rime Song Sovereign.

The Pristine Ice Plains of the Water Realm can isolate all origin laws.

He had thought it was an exaggeration, but now it appears to be true.

The two flew on for nearly another three hours.

Finally, the scene ahead opened up suddenly.

An endless expanse of ice plain stretched before their eyes!

The ice plain was astonishingly flat, like a mirror so vast it defied description.

Reflecting the faint silver-white halo on the horizon.

The ice layers were crystal clear and translucent, bottomless in depth.

The surface was as smooth as a mirror, not a single grain visible.

The air was filled with a peculiar sense of purity.

Not freshness, but a near-vacuum purity, stripped of all impurities.

Here there was no wind, no sound.

Even the temperature seemed frozen at a certain fixed, extremely low value.

"This is the Pristine Ice Plains."

The Frost Crown Sovereign stood suspended in midair, her icy-blue eyes sweeping over this dead silent world, "Indeed, the name is not in vain."

She tried again to mobilize the ice-origin, her face slightly changing:

"My perception of the origin laws has completely vanished!"

Not weakened, but utterly gone!

It seemed as if this ice plain possessed an invisible force, forcibly severing her connection to the cosmic origin!

"My perception of the thunder-origin law has likewise vanished."

Xu Jingming felt the dormant Taiyi Divine Thunder within him, his voice deep:

"It seems here, we can only rely on physical strength to act."

I am following the path of an Elemental Master.

The Frost Crown Sovereign let out a soft sigh, a hint of helplessness appearing on her peerless face:

"Unable to perceive the fundamental laws, my strength has been largely crippled.

I fear I can now only contend with the Initial Tribulation Sovereign."

The Pristine Ice Plains can suppress the perception of fundamental laws.

This is information they had long learned from the intelligence given by Ling Ge.

Yet they never expected the suppression to be so thorough, so domineering!

Even she, a Supreme Sovereign who has cultivated ice-system extremity to the peak,

here is like a tiger with its fangs pulled, her strength declining terrifyingly.
