Final Lord

Chapter 77 Ice Giant
"It's arrows!" Wei Yi exclaimed, "Brother, I saw many translucent blue arrows shot out from the top of the mountain! It was those blue arrows that killed the Frozen Soul Bird!"

Wang Bufu's pupils suddenly constricted. Amidst the howling of the blizzard, which suddenly intensified, the entire sky was dyed an eerie blue-purple. Tens of thousands of Frozen Soul Birds, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, swarmed madly towards the summit of the snowy mountain. Their icy wings collided in the fierce wind, and the shattered ice formed a white storm that obscured the sky.

"What kind of arrow is that? No, I need to see it clearly. Blind cat, give me the eyeball pendant!"

"Here I come! Lord."

The blind cat took two steps at a time, took off the eyeball pendant and stuffed it into Wang Bufu's hand.

Wang Bufu tore open his cloak that was torn by the icicles and hung the eyeball pendant around his neck. With the help of the eyeball pendant, Wang Bufu's vision instantly became much clearer.

Each blue arrow was composed of flowing ice crystals, its shafts densely engraved with ancient runes. These arrows were not shot from the mountaintop, but condensed from the void, as if countless invisible archers were pulling the strings in sync.

"Brother! The arrows are resonating!" Wei Yi suddenly pointed toward the nearest mountainside. An arrow lodged in the ice wall suddenly vibrated, forming an energy link with another arrow three kilometers away.

There were many similar arrows, countless of which were connected to each other, forming a translucent hexagonal grid above the entire snow mountain. It was this barrier that prevented the ice fog produced by the Frozen Soul Bird's self-explosion from spreading.

"boom!"

The first batch of Frozen Soul Birds that collided with the barrier exploded collectively, and the 5 points of ice explosion damage were absorbed and converted by the barrier, but instead condensed into new arrows on the grid. When the second batch of Frozen Soul Birds dived, these new arrows automatically shot out, accurately penetrating their ice cores.

Wang's tactical instincts were screaming. Those icy arrows stuck in the mountainside must have come from the special skills of a powerful army.

The entire snowy mountain breathed, each tremor of the barrier accompanied by a tidal surge of energy. The icy dust dropped by the slain Frozen Soul Bird was being devoured by the barrier, transported along the mountain's magical formation to a core at the summit.

The moment the barrier appeared, Wang Bufu's eyes widened. He said in horror, "This isn't an arrow array... This is a magic array! I know what it is. It's the Eagle Principality's now-decimated ace unit, the extraordinary army [Ice Barrier Group]!"

"Ice Barrier Group?" Wei Yi asked doubtfully.

"Yes! Their core units are the Transcendent Level 3 Ice Barrier Archers and the Transcendent Level 5 Ice Barrier Formation Masters. They were a Transcendent Army troop that practiced both magic and martial arts, leaving a significant mark in the history of the Eagle Principality. Because this troop was so powerful, I was deeply impressed.

But I remember the Ice Barrier Group was destroyed over forty years ago, so why is it here? Where on earth did this gate to another world come from?

"Brother! The barrier is shrinking!" Wei Yi's exclamation interrupted his thoughts. The hexagonal grid that originally covered half of the snowy mountain was shrinking towards the top at a speed of 100 meters per second. The Frozen Soul Bird, unable to escape in time, was crushed into icy powder by the barrier.

The barrier was gone, but there were still at least 20,000 Frozen Soul Birds remaining in the sky.

At that moment, amidst the shrill whistling of the shrinking barrier, the entire snowy mountain suddenly trembled. The ice beneath Wang Bufu's feet cracked into spiderweb-like patterns, each crack emitting a pale blue fluorescence. As if sensing something, the remaining twenty thousand Frozen Soul Birds in the sky suddenly turned around and charged towards the thick clouds.

"The sky... cracked open!" Wei Yi's eyes widened and her mouth was wide open in surprise.

In the void where the Frozen Soul Birds swooped, space twisted like torn silk. A giant hand, formed from pale blue, transparent glacier, slowly emerged. The lines on its palm were actually flowing ice crystal runes. When the giant's full form appeared, even the howling blizzard froze.

Wang Bufu peered intently. It was a pale blue, translucent giant, over three hundred meters tall. Its torso was partially fused with the snowy mountain, its lower body formed by the peak, while its upper body was entirely suspended in mid-air. Liquid aurora flowed from every joint of its arms, making it resemble a divine being.

This giant had no facial features, only a vortex of snowflakes that kept collapsing and reforming. In the center of his chest floated a hundred-meter-wide ice crystal cube, which contained the afterimages of tens of thousands of Frozen Soul Birds.

He slowly spread his arms, and the clouds in the sky were torn in half, revealing a swirling vortex of ice behind them.

"Ice Dome—Return to Silence!"

The giant's low groan resonated with the heavens and the earth, and the wind and snow within a hundred miles suddenly stopped. He raised his right arm and lightly tapped the air with his fingertips!
"boom!"

The water vapor in the clouds instantly condensed into millions of hexagram magic arrays, and sharp ice cones appeared on the surface of each magic array.

The ice cones continued to fall, and the flock of frozen soul birds hit the ice cones frantically, but they were swallowed by the magic circle the moment they touched, turning into a wisp of blue smoke and merging into the ice crystal block on the giant's chest.

The giants' first wave of attack wiped out thousands of Frozen Soul Birds. However, this was only the beginning.

After the ice cubes absorbed enough Frozen Soul Birds, twelve ice tornadoes suddenly rose from the snowy plains beneath the giant's feet. The icy debris engulfed in the tornadoes formed a hexagram with a diameter of ten kilometers. Ice crystal chains shot out from each corner. These chains precisely struck the Frozen Soul Birds, forcibly dragging the remaining birds into the center of the magic circle.

"Aurora...Judgment"

The giant groaned again, and the square on his chest burst into a dazzling blue light, and the pattern of the hexagram magic circle was filled with aurora.

All the trapped Frozen Soul Birds trembled violently, their health instantly dropping to zero. The icy mist from the self-explosion was compressed by the magic circle into a kilometer-wide ice-blue energy beam that shot straight into the sky!
The giant clasped his hands together, and unexpectedly, he grasped the energy beam with both hands! There was no explosion, no shock wave, only absolute silence.

The space swept by the light beams instantly crystallized, and the corpses of the Frozen Soul Birds were like images with the pause button pressed, frozen in mid-air with their wings flapping.

The next second, they turned into ice crystal dust and fell down, reflecting a spectacular sight like a rainbow waterfall under the setting sun.

The giant stretched out his hand and scooped up countless ice crystals and dust like scooping water from a waterfall, and put them into his mouth.

As he ate, his figure gradually began to fade, and it seemed that he would disappear at any time.

"This, this is a god!" Wei Yi's hands trembled uncontrollably. "It feels like that giant can smash us all to pieces with just one slap."

"It looks more powerful than the Cat God." Jin Shanshan, who had come over at some point, also opened his cat mouth wide and drooled unconsciously.

Behind the crowd, the cat-sand beasts and the harpies were greatly shocked. Only the cave people who could not perceive the distance were asking questions in confusion and were extremely anxious.
