Ten thousand I am across the heavens

The attacks unleashed by the Yeti Legion were so powerful that even two eighth-level immortals were amazed by them.

"Are these guys really mortals? Such a wide-range attack... Even among beings of our level, very few could unleash it so easily." Old Ancestor Xuehu looked at the Five Elements Mage beside him. The other party was proficient in the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and should have a deeper understanding of the attack just now.

"Theoretically, I could achieve this level by using waterways to unleash a celestial killing move. However, it's impossible to unleash an attack of this level casually, since celestial killing moves consume celestial energy. Even for me, the consumption of such an attack would be considerable."

The Five Elements Mage is relatively easier to adapt to in cold environments. He is proficient in a total of five different styles. And the extremely low temperature environment can be adapted to by using two of these styles. But even so, he cannot be as at ease in extremely low temperatures as the Yeti, much less possess the ability to almost ignore extremely low temperatures like the Yeti Legion.

The attack just unleashed was only the beginning for the Yeti Legion. A large number of transport vehicles drove in from outside the barrier. These vehicles, with their thick tracks, were encased in a foam-like insulating structure, and their interiors, like the liner of a kettle, were nearly vacuum-like, ensuring that heat wouldn't be lost in a short time. Heating wires inside the vehicles also provided a continuous supply of heat, ensuring the smooth operation of the engines.

As they arrived on the battlefield, these vehicles deployed like mobile bases. Large amounts of foam erupted from them, covering the deployed base. This foam itself acted as insulation; even if some heat was lost, the rate of loss was significantly slowed by the thick layer of foam.

If the eldest son hadn't been tricked, his enormous size would have been enough to withstand most of the damage from the low temperatures. Unfortunately, before the ultra-low temperatures arrived, his internal heat dissipation structures had already formed, allowing the ultra-low temperatures to directly penetrate his body along these heat dissipation pathways.

Now that all the weakening measures have reached their limit, it's time for a life-or-death showdown with the eldest son. The base vehicle, after unfolding, begins to ignite its onboard energy core.

These are miniaturized Dao Yuan reactors, still weighing several thousand tons, but enough to allow some ground-based transport to be brought in. The 11th Legion has now retreated from the front lines and arrived around these bases, cooperating with the 17th Legion to unleash the spread effect of war damage, enveloping the Yeti Legion within its reach, while the 11th Legion takes control of all the base vehicles.

Thousands of base vehicles simultaneously deployed their Dao Yuan reactors. A vast amount of energy converged on the Eleventh Legion, and through their shared capabilities, it continuously replenished the Snowman Legion's resources. Qin Baisheng, who had previously acted as the Snowman Legion's battery, even felt his body overflowing with inexhaustible energy. His true essence was boundless, even more abundant than when it had consumed immortal essence.

"You guys actually had this kind of trump card! Could it be that hiring me before was just a smokescreen? And you didn't even need the energy I provided in the previous battles?" Qin Baisheng couldn't help but become wary. He had no idea that his opponents had so many trump cards. It was possible that these guys were planning to include him in their scheme.

"That's not the case. These bases also need protection. If they suffer large-scale damage, we won't be able to obtain such abundant energy. Previously, when the eldest son's combat power was intact, these base vehicles could not possibly protect themselves. We don't yet have the ability to miniaturize energy to a portable level, so your existence was indispensable to us at that time. But now the eldest son is sealed by his own body. The frozen body of the eldest son is the best material to isolate the eldest son's attacks. Although it becomes fragile after being frozen, it is still relatively weak compared to its intact state. Its strength still surpasses ordinary steel. With this outer shell, even if the eldest son launches a long-range supernatural attack with his still mobile body, we are confident that we can stop him and protect these base vehicles after he breaks through this barrier."

He Cheng didn't hide anything from his temporary comrade; a relatively high level of trust had already been established between them. Most importantly, they shared a common interest: the Longevity Gu underground base still had a considerable stockpile. For immortals, this stuff was absolutely priceless and unavailable; maintaining this trading channel was far more profitable than a temporary defection.

As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the eldest son, which had been cleaved in two like a mountain peak in the distance, split open in the middle, unleashing terrifying high energy. It was a terrifying attack capable of instantly destroying an asteroid; the eldest son's intelligence had already recognized the crucial role of these base vehicles. Without the energy support of these base vehicles, the Yeti army would be unable to unleash its full power.

But at this moment, the eldest son's detached body became a shield to block his attacks. Although the frozen flesh and blood of the eldest son could not strictly be considered ice and snow, the Yeti Legion still possessed a considerable degree of ability to manipulate these remains.

The frozen air formed the first layer of shield, which only blocked the terrifying attack and was destroyed in an instant. However, the time gained was enough for the shattered body of the eldest son to form an even thicker shield. The seemingly hastily made materials showed an extremely strong resistance to high-energy attacks. After several kilometers, the shield finally managed to barely stop the terrifying long-range bombardment.

However, judging from the active structure exposed by the eldest son in the distance, an even more deadly attack was brewing. Although the eldest son's size had shrunk, the essence of his body had become more concentrated, and most of his brain cores had not been damaged in the recent battle. In other words, the eldest son's output power had not actually decreased significantly. What had decreased was his endurance and defense. If it weren't for favorable timing, location, and circumstances, the people in the underground base would not have been qualified to fight the eldest son at all.

Countless destructive runes continued to emerge. The remaining body of the eldest son was already suspended in mid-air, transformed into a perfectly round sphere. However, this sphere alone had a radius of three hundred kilometers, essentially a planet suspended in mid-air. At this moment, this planet unfurled twelve wings of light. These wings acted like antennas gathering true essence, with the energies of heaven, earth, and humanity frantically converging towards them, causing the originally transparent wings to emit a dazzling light.

"A Heavenly Dao Killing Move? How is this possible?" The Five Elements Mage exclaimed in shock upon seeing this. While countless schools of thought have flourished, no one has ever truly mastered a Heavenly Dao Killing Move. Yet, every cultivator is intimately familiar with it, for the natural disasters and calamities they encounter during their cultivation can, in a sense, be considered Heavenly Dao Killing Moves. The most classic manifestation is the gathering of the two energies of heaven and earth, causing an imbalance and resulting in a catastrophic attack.

While the Qi Dao could achieve a similar effect, it ultimately lacked the aura of true Heavenly Punishment compared to a genuine Heavenly Dao killing move. However, the aura emanating from the eldest son was exactly like the calamities they had experienced, and in terms of power, it surpassed them. Old Ancestor Xue Hu was already considering a retreat. Previously, when the eldest son fought them, he had likely been concealing his strength, focusing most of his attention on developing his power. Now, forced into a desperate situation, he had finally unleashed his trump card.

If he were truly unleashed a killing move of that level, he would have turned and run without hesitation, abandoning the Great Snow Mountain altogether. Even after undergoing countless tribulations at the eighth level, his power was only this destructive. And he only needed to experience those tribulations three times; so far, he had only survived one, and he was already filled with lingering fear. The second time was not far off, but he no longer had absolute confidence in surviving. Only someone with a head wrapped in iron would fight this kind of guy.

Meanwhile, in the eldest son's consciousness world, Lan Nuo shook his head helplessly and sighed, "We really messed up this time. We thought that Beiyuan was the most united force after Zhongzhou. Faced with natural disasters, they should take the initiative to intercept the eldest son. But it seems that we overestimated the bottom line of these immortals, and most importantly, we underestimated the responsibility of the emerging forces."

"We over-empowered the eldest son, and now even with proactive measures to curb him, combined with his pure self-awareness to weaken his strength, it's becoming increasingly difficult to control him. However… these guys have already achieved this much. It seems we don't need to add anything unnecessary. After this battle, the native progressive forces of Beiyuan will inevitably experience a resurgence; their future path is theirs to forge."

Li Hengyi and many warriors from the Shanhe Republic secretly infiltrated the eldest son's body. Their intention was to strengthen the eldest son to a certain extent, relying on his remaining self-awareness to interfere with his actions and weaken the immortals of Beiyuan. According to their calculations, even after their enhancement, the eldest son would have no chance of winning against the numerous trump cards left behind by the Beiyuan immortals. After all, Beiyuan's ultimate trump card was the Giant Sun Immortal Zombie. The original Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had never truly died, but had lived on in the form of a Nine-Turn Immortal Zombie. Although the number of times it could unleash its power was extremely limited, it was truly a Nine-Turn Immortal. The difference between it and an Eight-Turn Immortal was greater than the difference between immortals and mortals; even a single attack would be enough to easily crush the eldest son.

The eldest son is ultimately just the head of all beings; the Goddess of Life can easily scatter thousands upon thousands of them, and even if he fully grows up, he will still be inferior to the most supreme beings in this world.

But plans can't keep up with changes. The immortals of Kitahara were utterly irresponsible. In the end, only two Rank 8 informants stepped forward to clean up the mess. The rest were all as if they were dead. Not a single one showed up.

On the contrary, the people in the underground base were much more resilient than they had imagined. Not only were they not defeated by the natural disaster, but they also rapidly absorbed the alien technology brought by the eldest son. In some areas of biotechnology, they had already approached the cutting-edge level of the Mountain and River Republic. They managed to hold on by relying on their surge in civilizational strength, which in turn forced them to confront the enhanced eldest son.

This is how the Heavenly Dao's deadly moves came about. Those within the Heavenly Will's plan can never master these moves; only those possessing both a body and a soul not belonging to this world can truly break free from the shackles of Heavenly Will and escape the influence of destiny.

The eldest son undoubtedly perfectly fits this condition within the Shanhe Republic. While most people have escaped the trajectory of fate, they lack the aptitude to master the Heavenly Dao's killing techniques. However, they are perfectly capable of conducting theoretical research. Now, some of this theoretical knowledge has been passed on to the eldest son, allowing him to apply it effectively. Relying on his mastery of the boundless Qi of Heaven and Earth, every move he makes displays cataclysmic power.

The light cannons, once again converging at the center of the massive star, bombarded the location of the base vehicle. A hit would annihilate everything within a hundred miles into elementary particles; even the Five Elements Mages would have to retreat at this level of damage.

At this very moment, the snowman army, possessing the advantages of timing, location, and popular support, led by Duan Yun, took the initiative to meet the attack. Cold is a subjective feeling. When it becomes an attack, it is difficult to describe vividly or clearly in an objective way. The light and shadow effects using extreme cold as an attack method are striking.

It seemed the Yeti Legion hadn't released anything at all. There were no visible special effects. But the beam of light released by the eldest son seemed to encounter some invisible resistance, like a flame from a flamethrower hitting water. Although no water vapor could be seen rising, the beam of light became distorted and seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, making it difficult to move forward.

This time, it wasn't a hasty attempt to block with the eldest son's remaining body, but a prepared offensive counterattack by the Yeti Legion in coordination with other legions. However, the attack methods they employed were imperceptible to the naked eye. Approaching absolute zero, the ultra-low temperature was no longer manifested as the movement of simple gas molecules. At this temperature, gas molecules ceased to exist; at this extreme low temperature, a phenomenon similar to time freezing, yet entirely different, appeared in this area. All matter and energy entering this region tended to stand still, whether it was macroscopically moving objects or microscopic molecular thermal motion. Everything would come to a standstill in an extremely short time. Even the most brilliant energy release would be instantly absorbed, as if this space held an energy debt. Any energy released would be instantly used to repay that debt.

Even with perfect timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships, the eldest son, who had grasped the basics of the Heavenly Dao's killing move, was unable to break through this invisible layer of protection despite his extraordinary output power.
