Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 356: Time Trace: Backtracking

Xu Shen sat cross-legged in the snow.

The universe is vast, and he is the only dot.

The faint colorful halo spread out like ripples and disappeared into thin air.

The frost lotus, which was originally in full bloom on the extremely cold snow-capped peaks, bloomed even more beautifully and crystal clear in this dim world of ice and snow.

At the critical moment, none of his companions failed to perform well.

Even Zu Jiming, who was usually not highly regarded, completed his task very well.

Most poison and curse magics are not like other magics that have the immediate effect of destroying the world. The scary thing about them is that they can penetrate everywhere, like a ulcer attached to the bone. By the time you discover them, they are like a frog that has been in warm water for a long time, unable to jump out of this gentle trap.

The violent cold wind will carry this corrosive poison and gradually invade the snow python's skin, bones, blood and even soul until it is in unbearable pain and wakes up from its deep hibernation...

"Roar!"

The roar resounded throughout the heaven and earth; even the whistling cold wind could not conceal its majesty.

The towering peaks thousands of meters high are shaking.

In the blink of an eye, a giant snow-colored python was already standing in the clouds.

Its size is naturally not as big as the totem black snake, but it is more stressful in this dusk.

The pair of dark purple snake pupils drooped, and the scorching light with a corrosive dark aura pierced Xu Shen's whole body like needles.

Just a small test made Xu Shen's scalp tingle.

The power of the monarch is so terrifying!
Xu Shen subconsciously held his breath, and light elements condensed in his palm.

Nearly a hundred incandescent stars were flying, and a huge star map condensed under his feet. A white robe appeared on Xu Shen, dispelling the dark force.

"Immortal Vine: Heavenly Dragnet!"

Xu Shen didn't waste any words. A huge green lotus shadow condensed into a constellation and forcefully pushed aside the dark cloud curtain.

Countless green vines that seemed incompatible with this dead world grew out of thin air, crisscrossing and binding the giant python in circles.

The purple snake eyes flashed with a hint of human mockery.

It effortlessly lifted its snake tail that was coiled around the corner of the mountain.

Along with the broken vines, the sky was also swept with wind and snow.

From a distance, Zu Jiming was dumbfounded. He whispered absentmindedly: "Is this... is this a monarch?"

A few kilometers away, Bai Tingting stood beside Ai Jiangtu, her fists clenched tightly, her pretty face pale, and the fine cold sweat dried by the wind. Her body was frozen and painful, but she was unaware of this horrifying scene.

Ordinary high-level blessings can at least increase the power of a spell by 30%.

The secret techniques that Tingting learned in the temple are enough to improve her skills by another 20%.

But in front of this majestic giant snake, she still hated herself for not practicing hard enough.

Fortunately, fortunately Xu Shen still had a backup plan.

A pair of graceful flying snake wings spread out.

He was like soft willow catkins, swaying in the air.

If it were an ordinary high-level wizard, with just a slight flick of the tail, even if he had the power of winged magic, his body would be torn into pieces by the wind and snow.

But Xu Shen was different.

His physique has long been far beyond that of ordinary people.

Feng Zhoulong had given him a physical examination. Ever since Sui Houzhu brought him back to life, the power emanating from that body had reached the threshold of a sub-monarch.

A sub-monarch is still a monarch!
On the vast ice field, snow pythons cover the sky and the sun.

Xu Shen paced in the air, as small as a speck of dust.

The gap between the two is so huge.

But soon, an incandescent star palace appeared in the dark sky above the horizon.

Six towering giants of light appeared.

The vine that had just been broken not only recovered, but also grew densely packed spikes that flashed with cold light.

The spikes were as hard as diamond and ruthlessly bit into the white python's body.

The pain caused its bent body to straighten instantly.

The ice lotus growing all over the ice field sways, emitting bursts of fragrance.

However, the snow python had no time to appreciate such beautiful scenery.

It roared in pain, its snake lips slightly parted, and a dark purple light condensed.

Just at this moment, a giant came out throwing a spear.

The halberd flashed in an instant, and with the blessing of time magic, it accurately pierced the throat along the mouth, breaking the unformed magic. Before much blood flowed out, it froze into ice in the cold wind and stuck to the wound.

Xu Shen frowned slightly.

The wound didn't bleed, which was not a good sign.

All the demons that can gain a foothold in the Antarctic ice world are the kings among the kings, and their combat experience has long become an instinct engraved in their genes.

Before Xu Shen could think about it, the snow python's attack came.

The purple light in the snake's pupils has a soul-stirring spiritual attack.

As the purple light approached, densely packed inky black ice arrows shot out from its mouth.

These ice arrows are everywhere in the sky and there is no escape.

Xu Shen was amazed at the snow python's casting speed. He did not dare to be careless and asked Xiao Chenxi to block the enchanting purple light.

The Giant of Light lowered his arm and held up a huge shield to block in front of him.

The ice arrows corroded as soon as they came into contact with the light, and the shield of light broke like paper.

Xu Shen's face changed, his mind moved, and the invisible fluctuations of time dissipated, and the arrows in the sky slowed down a bit.

Six giants with three heads and six arms stood in front of him one by one, and then disappeared one by one.

Even so, it was not able to completely block the endless rain of ice arrows.

If his attainments in light magic had not already surpassed those of ordinary high-level wizards, and if he had not relied on a thought to transform star maps into layers of holy robes, it would be hard to say whether he could have remained safe and sound under this hail of arrows.

Xu Shen looked a little embarrassed.

This sorcery is obviously related to dark energy.

Light can restrain darkness, but in a sense, it can also be restrained by darkness.

The crushing numerical advantage made him feel a rare sense of powerlessness in front of this behemoth.

But when he looked at the frost lotus that had already covered the ice field and was becoming more and more beautiful, he gritted his teeth and tightened the small sword in his hand.

The wings of the Teng Snake moved slightly, and Xu Shen rushed towards the white python against the wind.

Those who can block its rain of ice arrows and remain unscathed are rare even in the southernmost land. At this time, the white python no longer dares to underestimate this ant-sized human.

It exhaled cold air, which condensed into an ice shield as huge as a mountain.

Xu Shen was slightly startled.

His physique was only that of a sub-monarch, so there was no way he could go head-on with a demon that was at least at the level of a minor monarch. He didn't expect that just a feint would receive such respectful treatment from the white python.

It seems that his methods are not completely ineffective.

At the very least, it also sees itself as a threatening opponent.

Xu Shen became even more confident, with a slight smile on his face, and took advantage of the storm to float near Bai Tingting.

Tingting's blessing magic was already ready.

Even though the cold wind was blowing back and stinging her teeth and tongue, the chanting was still clearly audible.

"Holy Nun: Strengthen!"

The sacred spell floated towards Xu Shen, forming an extremely solemn mark.

Ai Jiangtu did not dare to be careless. With a flash of silver light on his palm, he took Bai Tingting and retreated several kilometers.

The Giant of Light reappears.

The snow python used the same trick again, its pupils flashed purple, and a light black light condensed at its lips.

Xu Shen was prepared.

Mysterious and complex transparent stars are flying in the palm of your hand.

Time magic was more difficult to control than he had imagined.

Even though his mental power level has reached the astonishing eighth level with the blessing of the Linglong Ball.

However, in order to complete this high-level time magic, he still needs to concentrate on it.

If it weren't for the cheating effect of time magic, he would never dare to use this technique in front of the oppressive snow python.

The strong fluctuations of time seemed to have calmed the raging snow and wind in this world.

It felt like a moment, but also like an eternity. An invisible Taoist clock obscured the sky.

Only Xu Shen could barely see a shadow of this bell. It seemed ancient and modern. The scene engraved on the bell showed a waterfall flowing backwards, peaches and apricots turning into spring flowers, and the sun setting in the east and rising in the west...

"The trace of time: backtracking!"

Xu Shen's voice was like a whisper, and the invisible fluctuations of time spread out like ripples on water from the place where the bell rang.
