Chapter 374 - 37: Frost, I Have Returned!

’Boom boom boom boom—!’

The magic of the Ice Dragon and the others was instantly shattered.

Yet, the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable had already approached Priestess Xue.

A fist slammed fiercely onto Priestess Xue, with a bang, as if she had taken a severe blow.

A visible shockwave expanded around Priestess Xue’s body.

With a ’boom’, Priestess Xue crashed into the snow, throwing up countless ice shards and waves of snow.

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable looked down at Priestess Xue and coldly said, "Is this what you rely on?"

Priestess Xue climbed out of the large pit, her beautiful face only carrying a cold smile, her aura completely unweakened.

Merely with a tremor of her body, countless ice fragments fell from her body.

"To resist the ’freeze’ law, as expected of a demigod, already harboring a law seed within."

The next moment.

An icy light flashed, rushing straight towards the face of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, who reacted swiftly, transforming the Great Bell Dao Body into a Golden Light Bell to enshroud himself.

The bell was instantly covered with countless frost, then shattered, and the world before the Demon Venerable’s eyes blurred.

A palm aimed at his face came forth, as the Demon Venerable countered with a grab, frost spread once again from the point of contact with Priestess Xue.

"Troublesome."

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable fiercely flung Priestess Xue away, his vital energy constantly clearing away the frost.

Meanwhile, the Ice Dragon and the others continued bombarding Priestess Xue with skills, buying time for the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.

"You dare betray the God of the Cold Abyss; once the god truly resurrects, you’ll be the first to die."

Priestess Xue coldly addressed the Ice Dragon and others, while continuing her defensive actions.

Although assisted by the ’freeze’ law, the Ice Dragon and others were still at Tier Nine, and she had to deal with them seriously when they joined forces.

Having just managed to handle the spells of the three, in the next moment, she sensed a terrifying pressure from behind her.

In an instant.

A fist like a raging storm slammed directly into her back.

Causing Priestess Xue’s body to arch backwards violently like a cooked shrimp.

Bending from the back, sonic booms erupted, producing a thunderous roar.

Trailing shadows through the air, she was slammed into the ground again.

With a ’boom—’.

The terrifying reverberation caused power to spill over, exploding another giant pit into the ground.

Priestess Xue climbed out of the pit seemingly unharmed, laughing maniacally, "You cannot stop the return of the god now."

At the same time.

The surrounding cold had caused void to constantly drop ice crystals, then crash down.

Countless cold streams turned into cascading cold rivers heading towards the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.

’Black Tortoise Armor’

Vital energy surged from within the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, transforming into a giant Black Tortoise enveloping him.

Colliding unceasing with the cold rivers.

’Swish swish swish swish—!’

The cold rivers grew more vast, even engulfing the Ice Dragon and others within.

At the same time.

Priestess Xue’s aura swelled near the limit of Tier Nine.

"Heaven-Slaying Fist!"

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, seeing this, punched towards the cold rivers through their crashing torrents.

His overwhelmingly dominant power clashed with the cold rivers, driving countless explosive sounds.

The Demon Venerable’s punches didn’t pause, a storm of relentless fists.

Integrating the True Dragon Battle Body, Venerable Bone, Innate Dao Embryo, and Chi You Reincarnation’s powers.

Even the ’freeze’ law was continuously diminished.

The cold rivers were dispersed entirely, the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable deeply inhaled, the depletion was enormous.

This was the first time he’d exhausted so much, the strength within these cold rivers, even his current bloodline felt the bone-chilling cold.

Constantly sapping his strength, becoming colder and colder.

"Master, there’s something unusual about her..."

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable was already sensing something amiss, Priestess Xue’s aura was growing far too fast.

The ’freeze’ law’s effect was increasingly insurmountable for him.

"She might be connected to the resurrection of the God of the Cold Abyss, better kill her quickly."

Shen Fei furrowed his brows, even the Demon Venerable mentioned this, coupled with Priestess Xue’s peculiar behavior, it wasn’t impossible.

Shen Fei immediately decided, summoning back Jasper Pool and Stabbing Immortal.

"Lord, forty-eight small array points have been broken through."

Jasper Pool promptly reported success, Shen Fei nodded, "Now, kill Priestess Xue first!"

The Empress had just entered the Jiuli Array.

The [Colorless Realm Divine Power] surged forth, freezing time within the Jiuli Array.

The frenzied smile on Priestess Xue’s face froze, yet her aura continued to swell.

Even Shen Fei felt the oppressive aura spreading from Priestess Xue.

For some reason.

Shen Fei’s heart felt like he had encountered some incomparably terrifying creature, a sliver of fear instinctively emerged.

On Priestess Xue’s once smooth face, suddenly a shade of dark gray appeared.

Simultaneously, the colors that had just vanished due to the [Colorless Realm Divine Power] began to reappear.

"The Colorless Realm Divine Power has been broken." The Empress looked solemn.

The next moment.

Jasper Pool’s music resounded continuously, and Medicine Ancestor’s poison magic surged towards Priestess Xue.

The True Martial Sword also shot from True Martial’s mouth, slashing directly at Priestess Xue’s weak point.

Under the power of [Time’s Moment].

The actions of Priestess Xue, just freed from the Colorless Realm Divine Power, became jerky once more.

But swiftly.

A sudden surge of icy blue divine light enveloped Priestess Xue.

The music about to fall upon her froze, turning into rippling ice crystals, while the poison magic also crystallized into blocks of ice.

Even True Martial’s True Martial Sword was instantly covered with frost, falling from mid-air.

Shen Fei’s brow furrowed.

Earlier, when Priestess Xue had just used the ’freeze’ law, it wasn’t this potent.

At most, it was a special enhancement like the ’Burning’ effect that the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable obtained.

But being able to directly utilize this power to freeze skills?

Shen Fei had only seen this once before, like when that Drought Fiend stone statue possessed a portion of the Drought Fiend’s power.

That Drought Fiend statue could directly burn Empress and the others’ skills too.

This is the fundamental use of Tier Ten laws.

"Could the God of the Cold Abyss be using Priestess Xue as a vessel for resurrection?"

This thought flashed through Shen Fei’s mind, quickly directing Little Pu to inform Stabbing Immortal.

To check on the sealed God of the Cold Abyss beneath the large array.

And just then.

Little Pu’s voice gravely stated, "Master, white beams of light are shooting skyward from the previous array point locations.

Now converging in the sky, they’re descending here!"

Just as he finished speaking.

A colossal white beam of light, like a heavenly machine weapon, pierced through Jiuli Array’s space, striking directly onto Priestess Xue.

Accompanied by an ethereal sigh, "I, Ice, have returned!"

Shen Fei’s expression changed, not even taking time to articulate his feelings, he shouted, "Little Pu, go!"
