The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

I'm currently reading Chapter 54, "The Nine Nether Bird Appears! The Black Tower Suppresses the Ice Dragon?", completely engrossed in the story.

The surrounding hard rocks instantly turned into dust.

Mu Kui's massive body trembled violently, the terrifying recoil from the giant axe in his hand making his tiger's mouth go numb.

He slid backward uncontrollably for more than ten steps before barely managing to regain his balance.

Mu Chen also retreated several feet, his eyes filled with horror.

"How is that possible?!"

Mu Kui stared wide-eyed at the proud young man holding an ice halberd, his face filled with disbelief.

He and Mu Chen joined forces but not only failed to gain any advantage, they were forced to retreat instead.

What kind of monster is this?!

"Haha, that was great! Let's do it again!"

Bing Tianxiao, however, gave them no chance to catch their breath.

"Destruction Halberd Technique, First Form—Mountain Split!"

Bing Tianxiao's ice halberd trembled suddenly, and a surge of powerful icy blue spiritual energy gathered wildly.

A massive ice halberd, tens of feet in size, materialized out of thin air, carrying an aura of domineering power that seemed capable of splitting mountains, and slashed down fiercely at the two people below!

"not good!"

Mu Kui's expression changed drastically.

He could sense the terrifying power contained within the light and shadow of the ice halberd.

He dared not hold back in the slightest, unleashing his spiritual power without reservation.

The giant axe in his hand burst forth with dazzling light as he unleashed his strongest spiritual technique, attempting to withstand this terrifying attack head-on.

boom!

The outcome was decided the moment the two sides made contact.

Mu Kuina's prized spiritual technique was as fragile as paper under the ice halberd, shattering instantly.

"Pfft!"

Mu Kui coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He was sent flying backwards, unable to even unleash his spirit beast.

It can only be described as a complete and utter defeat.

On the other side...

Faced with this powerful and heavy blow, Mu Chen's eyes became extremely serious.

His hands formed a hand seal with lightning speed, and dark light surged deep within his pupils.

"Great Floating Pagoda Mantra, Floating Pagoda!"

Boom!

The massive ice halberd's light and shadow slammed heavily against the black light tower.

A dull thud echoed through the sky, and a visible shockwave swept outwards, scraping away a layer of the surrounding ground.

The black pagoda trembled violently, but in the end... it held on!

Mu Chen groaned and slid back dozens of meters along the ground.

His feet dug two deep furrows in the ground before he could finally steady himself.

Although he looked somewhat disheveled, his aura had not diminished much.

"Hahaha! Great!"

Upon seeing this, Bing Tianxiao sheathed his halberd and stood still, his eyes filled with admiration.

He didn't even glance at the clueless Mu Kui, his gaze fixed intently on Mu Chen:

"As expected, you're more qualified to be my opponent!"

"Now that we've blocked that attack, let's stop holding back and continue!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen slowly straightened up and wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Since you're so interested, I can't fall behind."

No spirit array was set up.

The attack he just received made him realize that a level-three spirit array couldn't possibly be effective against Bing Tianxiao.

boom!

A dark, deep flame suddenly erupted from his body.

Along with the flames came a clear yet fierce bird cry that echoed across the sky!

Amidst the rolling black flames, the silhouette of a gigantic black bird appeared and disappeared, its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky.

An ancient, malevolent pressure instantly enveloped the entire area.

Upon seeing this, Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow:

"Wow! This aura..."

"Black flames scorch the heavens, a ferocious aura shakes the world..."

Is this the Nine Nether Bird, ranked eleventh on the Beast Records' Land Ranking?!

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mu Chen, it seems you've had quite the stroke of luck, actually managing to obtain the essence of such a ferocious beast!"

He knew this was Mu Chen's opportunity in the original story, but he didn't expect that there would be no problems on the Spiritual Road this time.

The other party still managed to obtain this opportunity...

"By sheer luck."

Mu Chen chuckled softly.

In the sky, Elder Zhutian's expression turned solemn.

He exchanged a glance with the other two elders, and they were all shocked.

This Mu Chen actually refined the spirit essence of the Nine Nether Bird?!

"What kind of spirit beast is that? I've never heard of it before!"

"What a terrifying and malevolent aura! Just a glimpse of light and shadow was enough to cause my spiritual energy to stagnate!"

"Ranked eleventh on the Beast Records?! Mu Chen actually refined such a ferocious beast?!"

The students watching from the sidelines were all shocked.

Although most of them had never heard of the Nine Nether Bird, the tremor they felt from the depths of their souls was undeniable.

Especially after hearing Bing Tianxiao reveal his origins, he gasped in shock.

Eleventh on the Earthly Ranking!

That's a legendary, ferocious beast with the bloodline of the phoenix!

at the same time,

"He's going to lose. Aren't you going to help him?"

Bingqing glanced at Luo Li and said calmly.

Once the power of the Nine Nether Bird appeared, even she was unable to resist it.

Moreover, Bing Tianxiao had not refined the essence of a spirit beast!

Luo Li's expression remained unchanged in the face of this.

There was no wavering in his cool, clear eyes.

"I believe him."

These four simple words seem to carry immense weight.

Bingqing was slightly taken aback. Looking at Luo Li's calm profile, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Bing Tianxiao swung his ice halberd once more!

"Destruction Halberd Technique - Shattered Stars!"

This time, it was no longer the sweeping, powerful slashes of before, but countless fine, rain-like halberd beams, shooting towards Mu Chen like a meteor shower.

Each halberd beam contained extreme penetrating power, seemingly capable of tearing the black flames apart!

Faced with this probing attack, Mu Chen no longer waited.

Black flames flickered in his eyes, his hands suddenly formed a hand seal, and a low shout resounded through the sky:

"The pagoda of pagodas suppresses all things!"

boom!

As his hand seals changed, the originally illusory black light tower instantly solidified, its size swelling to hundreds of feet!

On the tower, black and white energy flowed, seemingly containing the principles of yin and yang in the universe.

A terrifying wave that suppressed everything swept out, shattering all the halberd light that filled the sky!

Immediately afterwards, the massive black tower, hundreds of feet tall, descended upon Bing Tianxiao!

A shadow fell, as if the entire sky had collapsed at that moment.

"Good! Well done!"

Upon seeing this, Bing Tianxiao laughed loudly.

He slammed the ice halberd in his hand into the ground, and his hands instantly formed a strange and complex hand seal.

In an instant, an extreme chill burst forth from his body, and the surrounding air instantly condensed into ice crystals!

"Since you intend to suppress me, then I will break through your tower!"

"Mystic Ice Dragon Soars—Dragons Battle in the Wilds!"

hold head high--!

A loud and stirring dragon roar suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The immense icy spiritual power around Bing Tianxiao gathered wildly, instantly transforming once again into a gigantic ice-blue dragon, a hundred feet long!

The dragon is incredibly lifelike, with crystal-clear scales, each radiating a chilling aura capable of freezing the soul.

boom!

The ice-blue dragon roared and soared into the sky, crashing into the hundred-story pagoda that was pressing down on it!

At this moment, the Ice Dragon faces the Black Tower!

A clash of titans!

Everyone held their breath at that moment, staring intently at the scene!
