Chapter 1587: Sealing Device

~8 min read 1,458 words

Bingshan, 2,480 meters.

*Crack! *

A hand full of ice crystals pierced into the ice layer. A few minutes ago, the howling cold wind stopped, and only sporadic flying snow drifted in the air.

Su Xiao exhaled a cold breath, and fine ice crystals condensed in the white air, falling toward the bottom of the iceberg.

Climbing to this height, Su Xiao turned sideways to look down at the back. Below was a boundless snowfield, and the hazy sunlight hung on the horizon, making the snow scene beautiful. This was perhaps one of the sceneries on the road to becoming stronger.

Su Xiao looked toward the top of the iceberg, which was still boundless. Strangely, the temperature here actually rose a bit, conservatively estimated to be within minus 200 degrees.

The temperature was still cold, but it was no longer to the extent that it would freeze Su Xiao to death at any time. His speed of climbing upward accelerated.

2,600 meters, 2,700 meters, 2,800 meters, 2,900 meters.

With a *snap*, the hard ice in Su Xiao's hand shattered. His other hand immediately pierced into the ice layer, and his falling figure stopped.

Wisps of white air rose inside Su Xiao's clothing. Climbing to about 3,000 meters, the temperature rose to about minus 150 degrees, which made Su Xiao think that perhaps the cold of the Eternal Frozen Sea wasn't formed innately, but by some things or landforms under the sea.

When Su Xiao climbed to 4,000 meters, he took a deep breath. Thin oxygen had already appeared here, indicating that the temperature had risen to above minus 110 degrees, which was undoubtedly good news.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to continue climbing upward, he discovered a thin mist appearing above the iceberg. After climbing over a hundred meters, he arrived under that thin mist and tried to probe his hand into it.

【Warning! The Hunter is being eroded by the Mist of Cold Legacy.】

【Eroding... The Hunter will lose 420 HP per minute. Your Curse Resistance is 78.9%; actual HP loss is 88 points per minute.】

【Magic-Immune Physique ability activated, immune to 40% magic damage; final HP loss is 53 points per minute.】

A stinging pain came from Su Xiao's body surface. Glancing at his gradually slipping HP, he continued to climb. The loss of 53 HP per minute didn't seem low, but looking at his total HP, two or three hours wouldn't be a problem. Adding the use of recovery items during this period, supporting for five or six hours wouldn't be a problem.

As Su Xiao climbed, Amu also entered the range of the Mist of Cold Legacy. To Su Xiao's surprise, Amu not only didn't lose HP but instead increased the recovery speed of its 'Ice Armor' ability.

Ice Armor (Ultimate Ability Lv. 13 · Passive): Due to the pseudo-biological circulatory system formed by the ice energy within the Frost Tauren, when suffering any damage, 40% of the lost HP will be replaced by ice energy (e. g., if Amu suffers 10 damage, 6 HP + 4 ice energy will be deducted).

After confirming there was no problem, Su Xiao continued to climb the mountain. After climbing a few hundred meters, the iceberg reached its end, at least it wasn't that unreachable.

A few minutes later.

A hand grabbed the edge of the iceberg. As Su Xiao exerted force with his body, he climbed onto a protruding ice icicle, once again having the feeling of standing on solid ground. The summit was successfully reached.

Looking around at the scene in front of him, Su Xiao's fist clenched. He saw an ice monument with a circular mark carved on it. This mark was... the symbol of the Law-Breaker.

Below the mark was a string of small characters, which was the language of this world.

"Outsider, you will regret today's decision. The Moi family will be your enemy for eternity."

Seeing this string of small characters, Su Xiao smiled. Carving characters on the Law-Breaker's monument—only a family like the Moi family, who didn't understand the Shadow of the Law, would dare to do so. Even the spellcasters, the overlords in the Void, wouldn't leave characters on the Law-Breaker's mark monument. It wasn't out of fear, but because it was easy to take the blame. In this regard, the spellcasters had extremely painful lessons, and the origin involved the alliance between the Law-Breaker and the Demon race.

Climbing this iceberg meant becoming an eternal mortal enemy of the Moi family. However, Su Xiao didn't care. If it weren't for the lack of time, E'yun, the only remaining member of the Moi family, would have died at his hands.

Su Xiao walked past the mark monument. The terrain on top of the iceberg was relatively flat. The outside was a flat ice surface, and continuing forward was a large mass of frozen hard ice. This mass of hard ice occupied over 70% of the summit area.

There was a circular metal door on the hard ice. Su Xiao and Amu arrived in front of the metal door and found that this door had no mechanism and couldn't be opened. Rather than saying this thing was a door, it was more like a metal valve. Judging from the craftsmanship, this was definitely built by witches, because Law-Breakers wouldn't leave elemental arrays on it.

*Click, click. *

A strained movement sound came from the metal door, and a huge face appeared on the metal door.

"Outsider, forbidden..."

The face on the metal door spoke. Before it finished speaking, Su Xiao had already drawn the long blade from his waist.

Trails of silver slashes appeared. After Su Xiao slashed a few times, he kicked the metal door. The metal door shattered with a *bang*. This thing originally needed the Moi family heirloom to open.

Entering from the empty doorway, Su Xiao arrived at a natural ice cave. The area here wasn't small, about 300 square meters, very much like a karst cave.

The ice cave wasn't dark. The ceiling was full of sharp ice icicles, as if they could pierce down at any time.

Looking around the situation in the ice cave, Su Xiao discovered that the ground was full of elemental arrays. In the center of the array was a large piece of equipment forged from unknown materials. The diameter of this thing was about five meters wide and three meters high, very much like metal rods closed together.

Seeing this thing, Su Xiao could determine that this was the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device, and the messy arrays, crystals, etc., around it were clearly built by the Moi family.

After a preliminary observation, Su Xiao discovered that the 'Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device' hadn't been opened for a long time, and there were pry marks on it. Clearly, the ancestors of the Moi family had tried to open the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device, but unfortunately, they didn't succeed.

Of course they couldn't open it. The Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device needed to be activated with Blade of the Dark Moon energy; otherwise, this was just a consciousness transfer device that could extract one's own consciousness.

Su Xiao didn't know what the arrays around the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device were for. The Moi family seemed to have found a 'special way to open' the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device, using this thing to enhance their own power.

Su Xiao destroyed the crystals, arrays, etc., around the 'Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device'. Not far from the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device, there was also a huge purple crystal floating in mid-air. The Mist of Cold Legacy was emitted from this huge crystal.

Su Xiao ignored the huge crystal. The energy contained in this thing was terrifying. If he tried to detonate this thing, it was possible to blow up half of the iceberg.

After confirming there was no abnormality around, Su Xiao pressed one hand on the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device.

*Ding, ding, ding... *

The Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device was activated instantly, and metal pillars popped open like an iron flower in bloom.

With a *hiss*, electric arcs surged between the metal pillars, linking the metal pillars together.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao stepped toward the inside of the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device. The electric arcs swept over, and the Blade of the Dark Moon energy in his body clung to his body surface, isolating the electric arcs outside.

The electric arcs jumped, and pitch-black holes appeared in the space. Clearly, the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device wasn't something anyone could use. If the Moi family really activated this thing, it would definitely be a case of how many people entered, how many died. ===== CHAPTER 1588 =====
