Chapter 135: The Swan Song of Ice Frost, LV5-Level Ability!

Thinking of this, Baichuan directly pushed off with three claws and leaped up, his massive wings spreading out above the palace, beating ceaselessly, stirring gust after gust of wind that roared like thunder.

Then he slowly gathered the ice frost power from his entire body.

As the ice frost power began to rise from within him and converge, a resplendent pale-white radiance began to burst forth.

It burst forth from the groove-like marks that remained on his body's surface like patterns even after his own recovery.

In an instant, the crimson patterns on Baichuan's slender flood serpent body were gone forever, transforming instead into mysterious pale-white light veins.

At this moment, he seemed to have become a glittering ice frost dragon species.

Boundless cold began to radiate from the flood serpent's entire body; with each beat of his wings, wisps of bone-chilling white mist slowly appeared, drifting off in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding temperature plummeted several degrees — this was the final swan song of the ice frost power within Baichuan, a swan song paid for with life!

At this moment, even his innate scorching body temperature had to yield the way.

Ice, in an instant, overwhelmed fire!

Shortly after, all the radiance began to slowly move, converging toward the flood serpent's throat; after a few breaths it condensed into a sphere of light like a small pale-white sun.

Threads of light escaped from the flood serpent's mouth.

In an instant, Baichuan violently spat it toward the ground, mixed with a massive amount of ice-attribute venom.

A sphere of light, mixed with terrifying ice-attribute energy, was thus spat out; bearing an immensely heavy momentum, it plummeted toward the palace ground.

"Crack!!!"

A second later, the air suddenly grew heavy, and then the sphere of light exploded; a vast, seemingly endless cold current surged outward in all directions.

Wherever it passed, layer upon layer of pure, resplendent ice crystals began to bloom, blooming wantonly across this stretch of land.

Just a few short breaths later, every structure of the Da Zhou Huang Gong before his eyes was completely frozen; this stretch of land had become a kingdom of ice and snow, the ground bristling with resplendent ice spikes — and within those ice spikes, lethal golden liquid still rippled.

Anyone who came and carelessly touched these fragile yet lethal ice crystals would perish on the spot.

Baichuan sensed it: barring outside interference, the traces of this freezing could endure at least four full years even under the blazing sun.

Because this was not merely the power of the Frost Light Point, but also the cooperation of ice-attribute energy.

Even now, though this entire region had been frozen into a kingdom of ice and snow, within the frozen ice there still remained vast amounts of unactivated ice-attribute energy, sustained by the Frost Light Point.

That was how it could last four years — simply because the flood serpent, a full twenty-five meters long, had stored far too much; within his control range, a large reserve of follow-up ice-attribute energy continued to support the frozen ice and prevent it from melting.

Looking at the masterpiece he had wrought, even Baichuan could not help but nod in satisfaction — this was the Burst of his full power.

Its effect was absolutely in no way inferior to the Burst of flame.

Unfortunately, this power was now nearly exhausted; only one or two Frost Light Points that had yet to leave remained, barely clinging on.

As for why they remained, that was simply a matter of his control not being perfect enough.

Without much hesitation, Baichuan took one last look and then left.

He was certain that no one, after he left, could take anything from within without his permission and still live well.

This was not him getting arrogant — it was fact.

Even if someone could take something from within and leave intact without touching the lethal venom, they would inevitably be marked by him.

No matter the distance — a thousand miles, ten thousand miles — they could not escape his pursuit.

After the flood serpent departed, silence fell here once more; the palace, once the most bustling and resplendent of places, had completely become a ruin of ice and snow.

And in the deepest part of this ruined kingdom of ice and snow, within a massive block of ice, an eagle-like monstrous claw taller than a man lay quietly in the darkness.

That was the claw Baichuan had torn off and discarded there after obtaining the bloodworm ability template — looking at the claw already thoroughly necrotized by the轮流侵蚀 of ice frost, flame, and electricity.

Perhaps he had simply forgotten to destroy it, or perhaps he had left it there on purpose.

……

Having left Tiandu, Baichuan flew toward the nearest sea entrance.

For the him of now, compared to evolving on land, the ocean was a little safer; moreover, he need not worry too much about food.

Time slipped by once more, and in the blink of an eye half a month had passed.

And at this moment, he had finally prepared everything, lying quietly in a safe spot on the seabed seventy meters deep in the Qian Hai area.

Facing this moment — perhaps, in a certain sense, the moment of transforming from a mortal thing into a deity — even Baichuan felt a flutter of anxiety and tension.

It seemed he had not experienced this emotion for an age.

Slowly exhaling a breath, Baichuan steadied his mood; a black line flashed in his eyes, the familiar panel's faint glow lit up, and a panel message instantly appeared before him.

'Name: Baichuan.'

'Species: Flood Serpent.'

'Length: 25 meters.'

'Lifespan: 91 years, 7 months.'

'Points: 322 (36%)'

'Abilities: LV3 Ability (Expand), LV2 Ability (Expand), LV1 Ability (Expand).'

'Ability Structure Library: (Expand)'

'Kedianji…'

Ignoring the personal information, Baichuan went straight to the Ability Structure Library and directly pulled up the latest blood-red worm's ability model; as a flash of light appeared, the abilities on the panel changed:

'Species: Bloodworm (Unknown)'

'Abilities: Mycelium Sovereign LV5 (External), Characteristic Storage Library LV4 (Extraordinary), Chenmian LV4 (Limit).'

Mycelium Sovereign: Can infinitely proliferate mysterious fungi; the fungi can carry the ability characteristics of the Characteristic Storage Library; the fungi possess extremely high mutability and can change along with the host's alterations; the fungi can be completely controlled.

Characteristic Storage Library: Can, through the fungi and with a certain probability, draw out the characteristics of all things, thereby storing them.

Chenmian: The ability host can actively enter a state of deep sleep; during deep sleep, life activity drops to its lowest, and lifespan will no longer be lost.

The above was the Ability Panel of that creature Baichuan had named Bloodworm. At first, when Baichuan saw this panel, he was stunned — because he always felt these abilities had a strangely familiar air.

Until he saw his own glittering panel, and in an instant he understood.

Isn't this just the youth version of his panel function?

The Characteristic Repository corresponded to his ability structure library; the effects of those fungi were similar to the editing function of his panel, except this editing function was random and could only act on other living beings besides itself.

Unlike Baichuan's panel, which could edit himself.

This couldn't help but make him suspect that perhaps his panel was actually one of his abilities.

This wasn't him thinking wildly; rather, the explanation of every ability on the panel seemed to change and expand in accordance with his amount of knowledge and depth of understanding.
