Chapter 1666: Ice Frost Law

They are constantly achieving their unique growth.

It's important to understand that for an ordinary powerful cultivator, forging a complete and fully-formed divine artifact takes tens of thousands of years. Main divine artifacts, such as the Sky Map or the Ice Emperor Pagoda, take even longer to form than mere years.

As for supreme divine artifacts like the Reincarnation Mirror, they can only be conceived and formed after witnessing the endless vicissitudes and the rise and fall of a main continent's civilization.

And now, regarding this set of divine swords personally forged by Xu Yang: although Xu Yang doesn't say it aloud, the Emperor Cauldron's artifact spirit, which is fused with his nature, can clearly feel that deep down, Xu Yang truly yearns to use his own power to forge a set of divine artifacts that are truly perfect.

And his ultimate goal, naturally, is to achieve the standard of a main divine artifact.

However, looking back at the history of the entire main continent over the past million years, it seems no divine artifact has ever directly achieved the strength of a main divine artifact immediately after being forged.

This time, with the help of the Emperor Cauldron, embodying the will of the God of Weapons, Xu Yang aims to break this unprecedented record on the main continent.

He wants to possess a set of invincible, ultimate divine weapons to help him enhance his supreme mastery of swordsmanship, and on the foundation of the Eternal Sword Dao, forge an unprecedented monument of ultimate swordsmanship.

Of course, for now, these are merely Xu Yang's personal goals. He still lacks a more complete refinement plan, and whether he can gather the necessary divine materials from heaven and earth remains an unknown.

After all, no matter how powerful the artifact spirit itself is, if it cannot be combined with physical materials, everything will ultimately be in vain.

"Oh my god, Boss!" exclaimed Long Kun. "You've once again performed the miracle of the Mid-Heaven Bright Moon! Remember, it was you, Boss, who personally ended the No-Moon Sky back then. Hundreds of thousands of years later, at the top of this mountain, you are recreating that epic!"

Long Kun's perfectly timed flattery subtly and thoroughly highlighted Xu Yang's power, so much so that the women around him—Jiu'er, Xiaoxiang, and the White Lotus Demon Saint—all approached Long Kun with expressions of admiration, asking him about Boss Xu Yang's glorious history.

Consequently, for the rest of their journey, Long Kun had even more topics to discuss with everyone, as they all reminisced about the divine feat of Xu Yang personally ending the No-Moon Sky era hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Of course, Xu Yang, walking alone at the forefront of his team, paid no attention to any of this. Instead, he continued to assess the situation, observing what dangers lay hidden in the approaching fourth area of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.

The closer they moved to the upper regions, the more Xu Yang could feel the temperature in the surrounding space continuously dropping.

"Boss, there must be another extremely low-temperature area ahead," Ling Yao suddenly blurted out, approaching Xu Yang. "My judgment can't be wrong."

Ling Yao suddenly rushed out of the crowd to Xu Yang's side; after all, she had received the inheritance of the Ice Witch and was exceptionally sensitive to frost-attributed power.

Little did she know, Xu Yang had already made that judgment even before her.

As expected, not long after, the area around the peak of this fourth mountain was a vast expanse of icy lakes and rivers.

Under the extremely cold conditions, the warriors found even breathing incredibly difficult, as the breath they exhaled would be completely frozen in a very short time.

As a result, the circulation of blood within their bodies constantly weakened, and the core power and combat ability they could unleash were greatly reduced. This is a unique characteristic of frost-attributed power, which can weaken an opponent's combat ability to the greatest extent.

"Haha, there's no need to be afraid!" Long Kun chuckled. "Isn't it just frost-attributed power? When I demonstrate my true fiery power, these ten thousand miles of solid ice on Kunlun probably haven't even fully formed yet!"

After saying this, Long Kun suddenly let out a roar, and two brilliant Phoenix Flames quickly ignited in his palms.

After all, he hadn't used the inherited power of the Phoenix lineage for some time. This was Long Kun's signature ability, passed down from the Phoenix imperial bloodline when he first entered the cultivation world, following Xu Yang.

However, even though this flame originated from the undying fire of the Phoenix lineage, it naturally extinguished not long after in this mountain-top space, replaced by a static flame outlined by frost power.

Seeing the Phoenix Flame in Long Kun's palm appear in this state, everyone around was completely dumbfounded.

"Oh my god, how is this possible?" they exclaimed.

The two forces of ice and fire never appear simultaneously, as they are fundamentally two entirely opposing attributes.

Either the light of the flame vanishes into oblivion, or the power of frost melts away.

Yet at this moment, the flame in Long Kun's palm was inexplicably separated by a layer of ice flowers.

Such extreme mastery of frost-attributed power had already surpassed the limits of what hundreds of thousands of demon beast warriors could imagine, and even Xu Yang couldn't help but marvel at this level of control over frost power.

It seemed that even if he personally stepped forward, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent in terms of control over ice-attributed power.

"If my judgment is correct," Xu Yang stated, "this area should be controlled by the Frost Law, which exists independently between heaven and earth. If that's the case, then I truly want to see which power is superior: my Sea God's Domain or this Frost Law."

After saying this, Xu Yang stomped on the ground and floated in mid-air, feeling the oppressive, upright frost from the surrounding air constantly encroaching upon his body.

Xu Yang's immensely powerful Nine-Parting Flames merged, ignited, and enveloped him in a cloak of fire.

As expected, just as he had anticipated, the power of the flames was quickly and firmly confined by the surrounding frost power, as if embraced.

However, this time Xu Yang showed no trace of panic, merely offering a slight smile, as if he had already foreseen this situation and had prepared for it in advance.

He gently squeezed his hands together, and a shattering force instantly erupted from the flames surrounding his body.

It turned out that Xu Yang was using his near-perfect Sea God's Domain to conceal water-attributed power within the flames he had released. This lured the opponent's frost power to envelop his conjured flames, but in reality, the water-attributed energy hidden within the flames was thus prevented from being completely frozen by the surrounding frost power.

As expected, seizing the moment the opponent's method became ineffective, Xu Yang shattered this energy, completely releasing all the water-attributed energy sealed deep within the flames at that instant. A colossal water dragon, soaring into the sky under the control of Xu Yang's powerful Sea God's Domain, appeared lifelike and circled his body.

"If you can freeze this colossal water dragon totem I have conjured, then this round, I lose," Xu Yang declared. "Otherwise, you know what fate awaits you!"
