Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 739 Cao Xing's Strongest Strength: The Ice Overlord!

A series of scarlet damage numbers popped up, and Cao Xing instantly took away tens of millions of the opponent's health!
Of course, as a legendary assassin, it was impossible for Cao Xing to freeze him in one place forever.

The frozen state lasted only 2 seconds before he instantly broke free of control.

He rolled on the spot, creating distance between them.

The assassin steadied himself, slowly raised his head, and a hint of human emotion appeared in his eyes.

It looks like he's angry.

At that moment, she raised her hand and suddenly made a throat-slitting gesture towards him.

Seeing this, Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, then returned a smile: "Continue?"

The assassin nodded slightly.

He brandished his two daggers, and a large amount of dark aura surged from his body.

Four dark figures, each wielding two daggers, suddenly appeared.

Clearly, this is the assassin's commander-level skill, capable of summoning four shadow minions that inherit 30% of his own attributes.

The next moment, the five figures launched their attacks simultaneously, charging towards Cao Xing from different angles!
For an ordinary mage, facing such a situation would be a certain death.

Just then, Cao Xing casually shot out two ice spears.

A system prompt appears.

[Ding! You have successfully cast 10 spells, triggering your passive skill: Frostbite. The effect of your next skill will be doubled.]

A smile reappeared on Cao Xing's face.

Then, he raised his staff and unleashed another golden skill, [Extreme Ice Bloom]!
"Wow—"

A massive ice elemental magic circle, over one kilometer in diameter, appeared, completely enveloping the entire arena.

These five figures seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, their movement speed drastically reduced!

Especially that legendary assassin.

His movement speed was reduced by 40% by Cao Xing, and then reduced by another 50% by [Extreme Ice Bloom], for a total of 90%!

At this moment, the assassin was almost frozen in place and unable to move.

Seeing this, a smile reappeared on Cao Xing's face.

Then I continued to unleash my furious output.

Arctic ice blooms!

Ice-Breaking Flying Blade!

Enhanced Ice Spike!

"Crash..."

That area was filled with all sorts of terrifying ice elemental magic.

Every spell carried a destructive force!

65 seconds later.

Cao Xing has already killed all four shadow servants summoned by the legendary assassin.

The opponent also only had 30 million health points left.

In addition, the assassin was also afflicted with a host of abnormal statuses.

This includes the 10 layers of Soul Freeze granted by the [High Lich's Frost Soul Robe].

Soul Freeze: Each stack reduces the enemy's spellcasting/attack speed by 5%.

Furthermore, targets inflicted with 'Soul Freeze' will suffer a Soul Backlash effect each time they cast a spell or launch an attack, taking damage equal to 10% of the caster's attack power.

Up to 10 layers can be stacked.

……

Seeing this, Cao Xing did some mental calculations.

Then he nodded secretly and said, "That's about enough. With 10 layers of soul freeze, even if I don't have to do anything, this assassin will die from the 'soul backlash' effect."

"This will save some skills for the trials to come."

At the same time, the assassin broke free from the frozen state and rushed towards Cao Xing!
And just as he was about to launch his attack—

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, the assassin suddenly felt a soul-tearing pain!
【-1523552 (Soul Backlash)】

[-61932 (Thorns)]

"Roar!!"

The legendary assassin let out a deep roar, and two damage numbers appeared above his head.

Not only that, Andrew's [Thorns] skill was also triggered at this time. Although the damage was not high, it made the enemy feel very disgusted.

It was as if every attack on Cao Xing was like hitting a barbed steel plate.

Then, a dramatic scene unfolded.

Cao Xing sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for his skills to cool down while recovering his mental energy.

Meanwhile, he leisurely watched the assassin launch a frenzied attack.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The assassin's dagger flashed with a sharp, cold light as it cut through the air, but each attack was accompanied by a muffled groan from him.

After several attempts, Cao Xing's health points only decreased by less than ten million.

However, the assassin himself suffered from the double torment of [Soul Backlash] and [Thorns], which caused him to lose 20 million of his own health points!
Watching the assassin's health bar plummet, even Cao Xing couldn't help but shake his head: "This fighting style... is indeed a bit disgusting..."

"But, I like it!"

"Once Andrew breaks through to Legendary, the damage reflection value of 'Thorns' will be greatly increased again."

"Then I'll find some skills that reflect damage; that would be really interesting!"

Cao Xing thought to himself with amusement, while ignoring the opponent's attacks.

Finally, with a roar filled with resentment, this legendary assassin...

He literally stabbed himself to death.

You have successfully passed the Trial of the Strong: Round Two.

[Completion Reward: 3 Unopened Gold Jars]

……

"They even gave us a jar? That's a great reward!"

Cao Xing remained seated on the ground, a satisfied expression on his face.

At the same time, the surrounding scenery faded away again, and he returned to that dark space once more.

[Attention Challenger! You have successfully passed the second round of trials. Do you wish to continue to the third round?]

"Yes."

Cao Xing clicked "OK" without hesitation.

[You have made your choice. The third round of the Trial of the Strong is about to begin. Countdown: 10 seconds]

【9...】

【8...】

……

Meanwhile, as Cao Xing passed the second round of trials, the other territory members also finished their battles one after another.

Among them, the fastest to clear the level was Commander Bojie.

As an eighth-tier overlord-level creature, its attack power is astonishingly strong.

In addition, he also has Cao Xing's blessing and the 50% attack power bonus from Demon Blood.

His opponent was merely a level 80 Dominator-level Thunder Mage.

The opponent seems to want to take down Bojie in one fell swoop by using Leifa's explosive power and control abilities.

Unexpectedly, the commander, relying on three layers of holy shields, charged directly at his opponent and then killed him with a few axe blows.

Next came Assam and Qinon, among others.

The Frostwolf of Assam pounced and bit its opponent's throat, killing the enemy in no time.

Qinong's spear pierced directly through the chests of three trial creatures.

These Hero-level creatures actually clear the game much faster than the Legendary-level ones.

...

...

the other side.

The challenges for Talia, Bai Zhi, and the Lord of Oran are somewhat difficult.

All three were using swords and were engaged in fierce combat.

Talia is fighting a level 10 shield guard. Her greatsword 'Rose Fury' keeps slashing at the opponent's tower shield, sparks flying, but it is difficult to break through the defense.

Bai Zhi's icy longsword clashed with an agile swordsman. She tried several times to use her innate ability to freeze her opponent, but he dodged her attacks each time.

The Lord of Oran was locked in a fierce battle with a heavily armored knight, the clanging of their swords echoing throughout the arena.

Without Cao Xing's blessing, their attack power was significantly weaker, and they also lacked the ability to permanently recover.

They could only rely on their own combat experience to continuously inflict damage on the enemy.

However, their opponents were not as monstrous as Cao Xing and the others, who came out with the potential of a Dominator.

The opponents in the second round were merely boss-level creatures of the same rank.

...

...

[Countdown: 1 second...]

[Countdown: 0...]

[The trial begins. Challengers, please prepare yourselves.]

As the cold notification flashed across Cao Xing's face, the darkness before him receded once more like the tide...

This time, three figures suddenly appeared in front of Cao Xing.

On the left is an assassin wielding two orchid-colored daggers, his face completely obscured by a black robe.

On the right is an archer holding a large bow, the arrows crackling with lightning.

In the center is a shield guard dressed in full armor and holding a giant shield.

This lineup can be described as extremely versatile, even unbeatable!

What's even more terrifying is that they are all legendary-level combatants!
Cao Xing's lips twitched: "Damn, is it that exaggerated?"

"They immediately threw me into a battle of three heroes against Lü Bu. Are they treating me like a boss to grind?"

Before he could finish his rant, his opponent had already launched an attack!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The archers launched the first attack, firing three thunder arrows in a triangular formation, their passage creating ripples in the air.

On the other side, the legendary assassin's figure spread out like ink in a painting, completely merging into the shadows.

The legendary shieldbearer was even more outrageous.

He stomped his right foot, and the ground cracked like a spider web.

The next moment, it charged towards Cao Xing like a raging bull!

These three guys clearly weren't working together for the first time; they launched a surprise attack right from the start.

"Damn it, this is unsportsmanlike conduct!"

Cao Xing reacted quickly. "Whoosh!"

He released ten ice walls in succession.

Although these ice walls were easily shattered like tofu under the attack of that archer and legendary shieldbearer.

However, Cao Xing did not expect these ice walls to stop the opponent's offensive.

He only used it to trigger his passive skill.

[Ding! You have used 10 skills. 'Frost Crystal Fury' has taken effect. The effect of the next skill will be doubled!]

……

The prompt ends.

The legendary shieldbearer had already charged over a hundred meters and was about to reach him!
Deadly auras also emanated from the left front.

Several lightning arrows were about to strike, including right in the face!

Just then, Cao Xing crouched down, pressed his hands firmly to the ground, and uttered softly, "Frozen... for a thousand miles!"

"Wow..."

A crystalline path of frost began to spread rapidly from beneath his feet and continued until it reached the horizon.

It covered the entire Colosseum in the blink of an eye!

With the 100% boost from [Frost Crystal Fury], the power of this epic skill has increased dramatically!

The charging shield warrior's speed suddenly dropped drastically, and his iron boots almost froze to the ground.

The assassin was forced to emerge from the shadows, thick ice crystals forming on the soles of his boots.

Even the legendary archer's movements became incredibly stiff.

However, the arrows he had shot earlier still reached Cao Xing and shattered the three layers of holy shields on his body.

At this moment, Cao Xing stood in the middle of the frozen arena, feeling waves of bone-chilling cold transforming into surging magic power that was seeping into his body.

The surrounding air was filled with visible pale blue ice elements, which surrounded him like loyal soldiers, ready to be deployed at any time.

In this extremely cold environment, Cao Xing seemed to transform into the master of ice.

He gently raised his hand, and perfect hexagonal ice crystals automatically condensed at his fingertips.

[Because you are in an extreme environment of -80℃, the passive skill of the Eternal Frost Monarch, 'Extreme Cold Domination', has taken effect.]

Casting speed +30%

[Skill cooldown time -30%]

All ice-based skills have a 35% to 50% chance to freeze the enemy.

[The duration of all ice-based crowd control effects is increased by 50%]

……

As a series of system notifications flashed by, a burst of icy energy suddenly erupted from Cao Xing's body!
The great lich's robes fluttered in the biting cold air as he slowly floated into the air, an ice crystal throne forming beneath his feet.

At this moment, he was crowned the eternally frozen king!

"Is this the effect of a legendary passive skill?"

Feeling the surging power within him, Cao Xing's lips curled into a cold, stern smile: "In this state, I feel terrifyingly powerful!"

He looked down at the battlefield from his high vantage point, his gaze instantly locking onto his three opponents below.

"Now, we need to take out that assassin quickly, then deal with the archers..."

His gaze swept over the heavily armored warrior who was raising his shield to block: "We'll deal with that tin can last."

After making the decision.

Cao Xing's attack was like a storm, crashing down on the legendary assassin who had been forced to reveal himself.

"Wow——!"

Ten [Enhanced Ice Cone] spells instantly formed!
Under the [Extreme Cold Domination] state, these ice spikes expand again, transforming into the size of a battering ram.

The surface is wreathed in spiraling, extremely cold winds!

"go with!"

In an instant, ten ice spikes struck the legendary assassin.

【-4285342! 】

【-4429342! 】

【-5238531! 】

【-5323528! 】

……

Ten terrifying damage numbers exceeding four million appeared, directly reducing the target's health by nearly fifty million.

Moreover, this attack triggered the 'freeze' effect again, freezing the legendary assassin in place.

Furthermore, because Cao Xing unleashed 10 skills, he also triggered the skill doubling effect of [Ice Crystal Fury (Passive)]!
Immediately afterwards, he raised his staff!
A massive magic circle, over two hundred meters in diameter, appeared, enveloping both the legendary assassin and the legendary shield guard!
“Yin——!”

A deafening dragon roar resounded.

Four enormous ice dragon heads emerged from the magic circle, followed by ice dragon bodies, and the four ice and snow dragons began to spin wildly!
"Crash..."

【-3582345! 】

【-2562314! 】

【-3926823! 】

【-2765349! 】

【-4252344! 】

【-5329526! 】

……

Three seconds later, a total of 48 damage numbers, each worth three to four million, appeared on the screen.

The legendary assassin and legendary shieldbearer's health has dropped by another 100 million!
Only four seconds have passed since Cao Xing entered the 'Extreme Cold Domination' form.

That legendary assassin's health has plummeted by more than half!
The legendary Shieldbearer's health has also decreased by a third.

This is the terrifying explosive power Cao Xing unleashed after breaking through to the legendary realm!

Even without using legendary skills and forbidden spells, you can kill a legendary character in 10 seconds!
On the other side, the legendary archer also knew that his teammates were being unilaterally suppressed by Cao Xing and were facing a life-or-death crisis.

He forced his frozen fingers to pull the bowstring taut!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four or five arrows crackling with lightning streaked through the air, leaving five purple trails in this frigid region.

Wherever the arrow passed, even the frozen air was torn apart with fine cracks!

"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-2195439! 】

...

The arrow pierced Cao Xing's frost shield, blooming into a bloody flower on his shoulder.

However, he didn't even glance back at his wound.

Cao Xing's gaze fell on the archer, as cold as winter.

The moment they met Cao Xing's gaze, the other person's pupils actually contracted slightly.

Fear was evident in the archer's eyes.

It was a fear that stemmed from the instinct of life, as if one were facing an ancient frost dragon that had awakened!

"I told you, I'll deal with you after I've dealt with that assassin."

Cao Xing's voice was eerily calm, "Until then, you'd better behave yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his staff, and two elemental creatures, each five meters tall and composed entirely of millennia-old ice, appeared below.

It was his basic skill—summoning frost sprites.

But after he became the legendary 'Eternal Frozen Monarch', the two frost elves who inherited 80% of his attributes have also undergone an amazing transformation!
"Roar!"

They roared deafeningly and pounced on the archers at a terrifying speed that exceeded the speed of sound!
Wherever it passed, even the air was frozen into ice crystal powder!

The archer retreated in panic, but he was quickly entangled by two frost elves and had to fight them off with all his might.

After temporarily eliminating the archer threat, Cao Xing turned his head again, his cold gaze fixed on the battlefield below.

However... he discovered something else.

Aside from the legendary shieldbearer still rushing towards him, the other legendary assassin had vanished without a trace, leaving only a few drops of frozen blood on the ground.

Clearly, the other party has entered stealth mode.

Seeing this, Cao Xing's lips curled into a smile.

"Given the limited terrain, do you think your stealth abilities will still be useful?"

The next moment, he suddenly reversed his staff, shouting, "Ice Arrow, Sky Burial!"

In an instant! Tens of thousands of ice arrows rained down like a storm, turning the entire arena into a death zone.

"Ding! Ding ding!"

The crisp sounds of ice arrows striking the ground echoed one after another.

【-2582349! 】

【-3185193! 】

【-1852053! 】

【-2198542! 】

【-1853295! 】

...

Critical damage numbers appeared above the heads of the legendary shieldbearer and archer.

A few more damage numbers came from a deserted corner below.

The next moment, the figure of the stealthy assassin was revealed.

Even more fatally, the barrage of ice arrows triggered a 50% chance of 'freezing,' freezing him once again into a struggling ice sculpture.

The ensuing battle was, of course, a foregone conclusion.

As planned, Cao Xing concentrated his firepower and killed the legendary assassin in three seconds.

Then, with the help of two Frost Spirits, they killed the legendary archer in 6 seconds.

Finally, there was the legendary shieldbearer.

This guy has a lot of defensive skills, which made it quite a hassle for him.

But it only took 20 seconds to wipe out its last bit of health.

"Boom..."

The shield guard's burly body collapsed with a crash, and a system notification appeared.

[Successfully passed the Trial of the Strongest: Round 3]

[Trial Rewards: Ancient Golden Treasure Chest *1, Ancient Golden Coins *100]
