Chapter 761: Chapter Seven Hundred Fifty‑Seven: Ten Heavens of Profound Dark

Yin cold pierces the bone, straight through the viscera and divine fetus.

Strands of gray-white Dao patterns, like great dragons, continuously surge from the divine fetus, carrying immense divine soul power, continually merging with the dharma body.

As the Profound Dark Grand Dao and part of the divine soul power continually merge with the dharma body, the external chill felt by Wu Tie fades away bit by bit.

The chill remains, but Wu Tie's tolerance for cold qi and capacity to endure it are continually increasing.

Xuanming Bu Lao growled lowly: "Freeze him to death, kill him, turn his body and divine fetus into profound ice, making him eternally suffer the torment of frozen ice…… Hmm, remember, remember, do not scatter his soul and spirit; be sure to preserve his soul, properly refine him for ten thousand years."

Wu Tie stood there silently.

A point of five-colored divine light suddenly flared in his divine fetus; he let out a deep, long howl, and five-colored divine light surged across his body surface, while a mighty essence-blood aura, like volcanic magma, burst forth violently.

A strand of five-colored divine light-wrapped divine soul also shot out from his brow, transforming into a half-transparent silhouette entwined with light, hovering before him.

Wu Tie snorted coldly: "You want to freeze this king to death? Just you bunch of immortal softies."

A lush, dripping mulberry branch flew from Wu Tie's hand, surrounded by nine thumb-sized golden three-legged crow phantoms that circled and danced around the branch, constantly emitting harsh 'ga-ga' cries.

A vast, robust solar aura shot straight upward, terrifying heat enveloping Wu Tie's body, also enveloping a strand of his separated divine thought, dispersing a patch of the cold qi above his head.

The essence-blood aura Wu Tie released is roughly twenty times that of an ordinary first-heaven Divine Manifestation Realm expert; while the divine soul aura hovering before his brow is about ten times that of an ordinary first-heaven Divine Manifestation Realm.

As a cultivator of the first heaven of the Divine Manifestation Realm, Wu Tie's physical and divine soul auras are nothing short of astonishing.

Adding the tremendous power of this inherited divine artifact from Chiyang Shen Shan, received from Qianxiao, Wu Tie's performance now resembles that of a profoundly gifted Divine Manifestation Realm genius with extraordinary foundation and surpassing strength, exerting all his power in a desperate last stand.

Xuanming Bu Lao laughed triumphantly: "What good is a desperate last stand? Martial King's youngster, from the moment you stepped into my Nine Heavens Supervising Talisman Profound Dark Grand Formation, you were already destined to be a dead man."

"Unless you also possess the Profound Dark bloodline, unless your Profound Dark bloodline exceeds ours, unless your comprehension of the Profound Dark Grand Dao and other related yin-cold principles surpasses ours, otherwise, you will surely die."

Wu Tie gritted his teeth and sneered: "Then come try? Wanting me to admit defeat, submit, and accept being killed by you—impossible!"

Wu Tie sneered, and Xuanming Bu Lao also sneered.

Heaven and earth were in chaos, only the gray-white Profound Dark cold qi sweeping across heaven and earth, enveloping all directions.

Clumps of Profound Dark cold qi grew extremely dense, gradually compressing into viscous, yin‑soft, terrifying masses the size of water tanks, incessantly striking and scouring Wu Tie's body, continually sending in cold qi capable of shattering even innate spirit weapons.

These cold qi were transformed by Xuanming Bu Lao and others through immense magical power drawn from heaven and earth, pure beyond compare, extraordinarily heavy; each strand contains immeasurable Profound Dark power and holds the Profound Dark principles to the utmost degree.

Wu Tie silently cultivated the unique divine mysterious technique from the Primordial Scripture; his bloodline shifted, instantly transforming from the chaotic Pangu bloodline into the purest, most primal Profound Dark body—countless times more pure and primal than that of Xuanming Bu Lao and company.

Vast expanses of Profound Dark Dao principles turned into visible gray‑white Dao patterns, swiftly merging into Wu Tie's body.

Wu Tie's divine fetus, towering sixteen thousand zhang, gradually shrank thread by thread, while immense divine soul power continually fused into his body; he slowly sensed his affinity with this ice hell and Profound Dark world rapidly increasing.

His body no longer felt cold, but gradually felt comfortable and cool, rather like a fish returning to water.

First heaven of the Divine Manifestation Realm, second heaven, third heaven……

Wu Tie's cultivation in the Divine Manifestation Realm, specifically his attainment in the Profound Dark Grand Dao, was rapidly increasing.

Xuanming Bu Lao and company frantically released Profound Dark cold qi, attempting to freeze Wu Tie to death; this was merely an attack using the Profound Dark Dao principles they comprehended and controlled. No matter how they attacked, it was like a wild goose tracing water—always leaving a shadow and a ripple on the surface.

Wu Tie was smiling.

The vast essence‑blood aura emanating outward shrank bit by bit, and the divine soul strand he revealed also underwent illusory contraction.

Occasionally, he would curse a few words at Xuanming Bu Lao and the others.

Occasionally, a strand of ice crystal would drift from the surface of his divine soul, causing that strand of his divine soul to instantly shrink a bit, while emitting a painful wail.

In the eyes of Xuanming Bu Lao and company, all this showed that Wu Tie's origin had suffered grave injury, his divine body and divine fetus continually being weakened.

Xuanming Bu Lao couldn't help reminding his brothers: "Be careful, be careful, absolutely do not directly freeze this kid until his soul and spirit scatter… Preserve his soul, big brother I want to properly refine him, making sure he cannot live nor die."

Another Xuanming old ancestor laughed triumphantly: "Big brother, perhaps we can also use his divine soul to coerce the people of Wuguo into laying down their arms and surrendering resistance… Then the whole of Wuguo will be in our pocket."

Xuanming Bu Lao seriously considered his brother's proposal.

After a while, he slowly said: "It's likely difficult… Their morale will certainly be shaken, but to say they will abandon resistance? Hard… After all, our children previously slaughtered excessively; in the Wuguo territory we conquered, all able‑bodied men were killed."

Xuanming Bu Lao sighed lightly: "The gods also do not allow us to do this… Continue the slaughter and war, continue the killing… Only slaughter can satisfy the gods, and only then can we truly be accepted by them."

All the Xuanming old ancestors let out a long howl together.

Xuanming Bu Lao shouted sternly: "All major tribes, attack! No splitting forces; unite all tribes and storm the military city before us."

"The essence of Wuguo lies within this military city; once we take this city… we will have achieved great success."

Sharp bugle calls rang from all directions; the boundless snow‑plain warriors emitted harsh, piercing howls, and under the urging of each tribe's elders, they surged forward like dense swarms of ants toward the military city.

On the military city, countless wood‑spirit experts formed ranks in dense formation, after which countless arrows fell like a downpour, wave after wave sweeping across the entire battlefield.

Suddenly, the military city walls cracked open countless design holes; tens of millions of dwarves hid within the thick walls, and countless runic firearms boomed 'peng-peng', showering the sky with metal pellets that swept across the battlefield once again.

The great battle erupted.

This time, the power of the ten‑thousand‑zhang ice sculpture was entirely used on the Nine Heavens Supervising Talisman Profound Dark Grand Formation.

The snow‑plain tribe warriors relied entirely on their own flesh and blood, opposing the military city's countless defensive facilities and large‑scale armaments.

Time passed bit by bit.

Half a month later.

Wu Tie's Profound Dark Grand Dao smoothly broke through to the tenth heaven perfection of the Divine Manifestation Realm.

Along with the corresponding Profound Dark Grand Dao principles—such as profound ice, freezing, bitter cold, and so on—also reached the tenth heaven perfection of the Divine Manifestation Realm.
