Chapter 1870: Extreme Cold Ice Dragon! Final Trial!

"Even an immortal peak-tier ice beast is no match for you.

Your physique is simply extraordinary."

The Frost Crown Sovereign couldn't help but let out a soft gasp of astonishment, then furrowed her brows slightly and said:

"This is already the third wave—ice beasts couldn't possibly attack us this frequently.

Someone must be pulling strings behind the scenes."

After a pause, her expression turned solemn as she said:

"I suspect it might be the Dust Rock Sovereign making a move."

Just like Xu Jingming's line of thought.

All along this journey, we've only encountered the Dust Rock Sovereign.

If someone is truly intervening, it must be him.

"That is indeed a possibility."

Xu Jingming gave a faint smile:

"But I actually hope he sends more ice beasts our way—it would serve as a kind of tempering for me."

"Everyone says you have great talent.

I, however, believe that compared to talent, your effort is just as important."

Seeing this, the Frost Crown Sovereign's fair, delicate face unconsciously showed a hint of appreciation.

If it were another heavenly pride, having Xu Jingming's strength would likely have made them swell with pride to the heavens.

But Xu Jingming is different—humble and diligent.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's good cultivation."

Xu Jingming chuckled, then said: "Let's go—we should be not far from the deepest part of the ice plains."

"Good."

The Frost Crown Sovereign gave a slight nod, then set off once more alongside Xu Jingming.

At the same time, tens of thousands of li away, beyond the ice peaks.

"No, impossible......"

The Dust Rock Sovereign stood frozen in place, his handsome face filled with shock.

"Even an immortal sovereign peak-tier ice beast couldn't stop him?"

He had thought that with the four beasts attacking together, it would be enough to corner Xu Jingming in peril, forcing the Frost Crown to seek aid.

But reality dealt him a harsh slap!

Xu Jingming not only remained unharmed, but with overwhelming force, he slaughtered all four beasts!

That layer of golden Lei Gang, that tyrannical and unparalleled physical strength......

Is this truly the power a Tribulation Sovereign should possess?!

"My lord."

The Black Earth Sovereign beside him also wore an expression of utmost solemnity:

"Xu Jingming's physique is so strong, it likely surpasses that of an ordinary Immortal Sovereign, even... approaching the level of a Supreme Sovereign!"

He has followed the Dust Rock Sovereign for many years.

Having witnessed countless experts, he has never seen such a monstrous Tribulation Sovereign!

"Approaching Supreme Sovereign?"

The Dust Rock Sovereign's eyes turned slightly cold: "But he's still far behind me!

Since ice beasts won't work, then don't blame me for not holding back!"

He had already decided to act himself.

"My lord, the timing is no longer suitable now!"

The Black Earth Sovereign urgently urged him to stop, lowering his voice: "This place is very close to the deepest part of the Pure Ice Plains.

There are already Sovereign-level beings nearby.

Once we act, if discovered by others, the situation will become very difficult to handle."

"Huh?"

The Dust Rock Sovereign swept his divine sense.

Indeed, he found that within hundreds of thousands of kilometers nearby, there were already several Sovereign-level auras.

Even if he had a World-Honored-level teacher.

He wouldn't dare be so arrogant as to attack other Sovereigns in front of other Sovereigns.

"If that's the case......"

The Dust Rock Sovereign pondered briefly, then spoke:

"Then let's give the Frost Crown another chance!

Help her seize the Water Realm Domain—if she can't even do that, we'll reconsider!"

This is his final attempt.

"Yes, my lord!"

The Black Earth Sovereign nodded eagerly.

Then he followed behind the Dust Rock Sovereign, flying toward the deepest part of the Pure Ice Plains.

Xu Jingming and the Frost Crown Sovereign flew on together.

After another half hour, they finally reached the deepest part of the Pure Ice Plains.

The only thing that made Xu Jingming feel a bit regretful was.

The final stretch of the journey saw no more ice beast attacks.

"Is this the deepest part of the Immaculate Ice Field?"

Xu Jingming's gaze swept across the surroundings.

The scenery here was completely different from the outer regions.

This was no longer a flat, mirror-like ice surface, but a majestic, spectacular ice-sealed world.

Countless ice peaks towering ten thousand meters rose from the ground, forming a ring guarding the central area.

The ice peaks were crystalline and transparent throughout, with faint blue streamers of light seemingly flowing within.

Under the silver-white halo's illumination, they refracted a dreamlike luster.

The air was permeated with ultimate cold; even breathing brought out fine ice crystal fragments.

Even more shocking was the sky.

A colossal entity was slowly circling above the dome embraced by the ring of ice peaks!

It was a giant dragon composed entirely of ice!

Its body exceeded a kilometer in length, every scale like a meticulously carved work of art.

The dragon's body wound sinuously, ice-blue law patterns flowing across it under the halo.

Its head held high, its eyes were two clusters of burning ice flames.

Overlooking the beings below, it exuded a heart-palpitating Supreme Ruler-level pressure!

With every beat of its wings, it stirred up a sky-full of ice crystal storms, its howling like the low chant of an ancient behemoth.

"That is the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon."

Frost Crown Ruler's ice-blue eyes gazed at the sky, her cold voice carrying a hint of Solemn:

"A law creature of the Water Domain.

Stronger than the law creatures of the Lightning Domain, reaching the Supreme Ruler level."

Xu Jingming looked up, golden light flashing faintly in his eyes.

He could sense it.

The ice origin contained within this ice dragon was vast as an ocean, even faintly touching upon a certain boundary.

Were it not for being in the Immaculate Ice Field, with origin laws suppressed, its might would likely be even more terrifying.

"Frost Crown has arrived."

"Heavenly Punishment, you've come too!"

"Heavenly Punishment Ruler! Frost Crown Ruler!"

"..."

Over twenty Ruler-level figures had already gathered at the deepest part of the ice field.

They either stood in the air or sat cross-legged atop ice peaks, their auras all deep as abysses.

Seeing Xu Jingming and Frost Crown arrive.

The vast majority cast friendly gazes, even actively calling out greetings.

No other reason — Xu Jingming's talent and battle achievements were too dazzling!

Ascending to Ruler in under a hundred years, reversing the kill on an Undying with two spear strikes.

Moreover, they had already learned through the virtual universe that Xu Jingming controlled the Lightning Domain.

Facing such a freak suspected of possessing Supreme Ruler-level strength.

As long as they weren't fools, who would want to easily offend him?

Facing these friendly greetings, Xu Jingming nodded in acknowledgment to each.

Frost Crown Ruler also nodded slightly in return, her cold features appearing even more stunningly beautiful under the ice field's halo.

"This Extreme Cold Ice Dragon is extremely strong.

However, according to Ling Ge's intelligence, controlling the Water Domain.

Does not require killing it; one only needs to pass its trial."

As the two descended onto the ice field, Frost Crown Ruler spoke.

Xu Jingming, who also possessed the Ling Ge data, naturally knew this as well, turning his gaze forward.

Only to see a kilometer ahead.

In the center of the ring of ice peaks, an ice wall several kilometers high stood towering.

At the base of the ice wall was a hole about ten meters in diameter, its interior deep, faint blue halos faintly visible flowing within.

And in front of the hole was a special area a kilometer square.

At this moment, seven or eight Ruler-level experts were struggling to advance within it!

With every step they took, the ice beneath their feet exploded into spiderweb-like cracks.

Divine power surged wildly around their bodies, blue veins bulging on their foreheads, as if bearing unimaginable heavy pressure.

"Thud!"

An Initial Tribulation Ruler suddenly dropped to one knee, the ice layer shattering!

He gritted his teeth trying to stand, yet his whole body trembled.

Finally, helpless, he withdrew from the area, panting heavily with a pale face.
