Chapter 1165: Section 1166 Elemental State and Porcelain White Skeleton
After the fierce collision, the golden light source differentiated into myriad beams of light, resembling writhing tentacles that interwove into a shimmering curtain of light.
Monty tread upon the light, quickly leveraging the curtain to move.
Meanwhile, Aoluxiya conjured a multitude of Flaming Arrows behind her, discharging them all at once and tearing the curtain of light into specks of brilliance.
The Void trembled, and space collapsed.
Amid the tangled barrages of energy, the figures of Monty and Aoluxiya completely eluded everyoneâs sight, leaving only two arcs of light swiftly shifting aboutâa mysterious pale blue glow on one side and a dazzling golden light on the other. Each time the lights crossed paths, they spawned terrifying energy vortexes.
Under these circumstances, no one dared approach, for fear that their assistance might backfire, resulting in collateral damage.
After another thunderous blast, the two forces of light, as if by some tacit agreement, both flipped back, each holding their ground.
As their gazes met, flames seemed to ignite.
Whether it was Monty or Aoluxiya, both saw in each otherâs eyes a resolve to never give up until their objectives were met. Their obsessions were different, but the path they trod in pursuit of their obsessions was one of no regrets, even in the face of a thousand deaths!

âHahahaââ Monty suddenly burst into laughter. However, the mirth did not reach his eyes, which only held madness and obsession, âIt seems we wonât achieve our goals without getting serious.â
As Monty spoke, he slowly removed his mask.
The mask was connected to the ornate Frostmoon Silver Crown.
As the Frostmoon Silver Crown was removed, his bound white hair cascaded down, and then, in the next second, the silky white hair sprung edges and morphed into strands of ice crystals.
Not just on Montyâs hair, ice crystals formed all over his body.
Aoluxiya hadnât even gotten a clear look at Montyâs face when a layer of frost covered it. His entire body completely transformed into an icy giant.
The Frostmoon Silver Crown, linked to the mask, quivered slightly and transformed into a great Cold Winter sword. With a slight swing from Monty, it seemed as though moonlight poured from the enormous blade.
This was the Elemental State!
Monty had transformed himself entirely into an Elemental State ice giant!
The chilling aura emanating from the ice giant, even at a great distance from the center of the battle where the floating ice was, pervaded the surroundings.
The battle between the ice giant form of Monty and Aoluxiya once again intensified. However, this time, Aoluxiya found herself in a defensive position.
Even though Aoluxiya wielded the Primeval Flame, that did not mean it possessed frost attributes; its essence was still the embodiment of flame, forever pursuing the path of fire.
Ice and fire were naturally antagonistic elements. Previously, when they fought, the elemental energies were almost equal, so they were closely matched. But now that Monty had completely become an ice elemental, his inherent elemental property instantaneously overwhelmed that of Aoluxiya, forcing Aoluxiya into retreat in the face of this elemental imbalance.
With each collision, Aoluxiya remained in a suppressed state.
Moreover, Aoluxiya could feel that Monty was covered in an extremely faint Rudimentary Domain of Law; the Domain of Law was a mark of Legend status, and the fact that Monty could now use a Rudimentary Domain of Law clearly indicated he had achieved Half-step Legend.
Even though Aoluxiya did not know the specific nature of Montyâs Domain of Law, it could tell that it should also be of frost attribute, or something that aided the frost attribute. The Elemental State combined with the Rudimentary Domain of Law completely oppressed Aoluxiya.
After a mutual strike, Aoluxiya was sent flying.
This was the first time it allowed its body to lose control.
Naturally, Monty would not let such an opportunity slip by. His massive form flashed, instantly appearing beside Aoluxiya. Monty clenched his fists together and lifted them mightily above his head, his fists transforming into a colossal pillar, crashing down ferociously towards Aoluxiyaâs headâ
âDrip drop, drip drop.â
Just as Montyâs fists were about to strike Aoluxiya, an umbrella floating in the distance suddenly called out.
Every time the umbrella made a sound, it created a slight dizziness and weakened the physical strength from all directions.
Now that Monty had turned into an Elemental State, naturally his physical strength wasnât vulnerable to being sapped. But this dizziness, perhaps due to his lack of a physical body as a base, felt even more intense than before.
Although overall, the effect was still negligible, at this critical moment, this slight spell of dizziness caused his fist to hesitate for a millisecond.
Aoluxiya seized this fleeting opportunity, spinning around and dissipating like light smoke.
And at that moment, Montyâs fist missed its mark.
Having lost this prime opportunity, Monty glared angrily at the distant Nitotipu. Nitotipu, displaying no fear whatsoever, instead presented Monty with a provocative expression.
Monty just glared at Nitotipu venomously before turning his head away, no longer paying attention. He was well aware that Nitotipu would love for him to confront it. Yet, attempting to kill Nitotipu within the raincloud was very difficult.
Within the raincloud, its only opponent was Aoluxiya!
Elsewhere, atop the floating ice, Maher turned to Luci and asked, âWhatâs the principle behind the weakening effect of that mysterious umbrella, and have you found a way to counter it?â
Now, the demons within the raincloud had significantly diminished, to the extent that even Samantha could spare a portion of Illusory Spirits to besiege Nitotipu. It could be said that, from a tactical perspective, the humans were at an advantage.
But the longer time dragged on, the greater the weakening effect of the umbrella on everyone became. A momentâs negligence might allow Nitotipu to escape the encirclement. Once Nitotipu joined the battle on Montyâs side, complications would arise.
Therefore, under these circumstances, deciphering the principle behind the umbrellaâs weakening effect and finding countermeasures had become the main task of the wizards upon the floating ice.
After a moment of silence, Luci said, âI donât feel any curse, and there are no abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding energy, indicating that weâre not influenced by negative energy⊠By this logic, the umbrellaâs weakening principle must originate from itselfâa groundless, unwarranted, and mysterious power.â
Maher frowned and asked, âIs there really no way to deal with it?â
Luci shook his head. âOther than killing Nitotipu and taking that umbrella, there is no other way.â
Killing Nitotipu within the raincloud, even with the combined efforts of everyone, was difficult to achieve.
Everyone fell into silence. At that moment, Vifette, who had been quiet for a long time, stepped forward. He stroked the fat and uneasy sand rat lying weakly in the palm of his hand and said, âThe only consolation is that this weakening is all-encompassing. Itâs not just against humans, but against every living thing within the raincloud.â
That included Vifetteâs sand rat, the demons, and even Aoluxiya within the range of weakening.
âThe only one not weakened is Nitotipu!â Rivetta exclaimed, gazing at the somewhat sleazy umbrella in the distance with a thick wariness in her eyes, but also with a hint of greed and longing, âThe effects of this umbrella are astonishing, both offensive and defensive! As long as one is in the raincloud, they are nearly invincible and continuously weaken the enemy. Isnât this comparable to a strategic-level mysterious object? If I could obtain this umbrella, the Forest of Night WhisperâŠâ
If they could get the umbrella⊠Not just Rivetta, everyone began to fantasize.
âFantasies are just pipe dreams. Instead of indulging in impractical thoughts, we should consider how to assist Lord Monty right now,â Maher snorted coldly.
âItâs too difficult for us to get involved in the battle between Lord Monty and Aoluxiya. However, I remember that Kanterâs Bloodline of Night seems to allow him to assist Monty without being influenced by energy,â Vifette said.
After Vifette finished speaking, everyone began to look around, hoping to find Kanter, but after a whileâ
âHey, where did Kanter go?â
âŠ
Confronting the Frostmoon giant that Monty had turned into, Aoluxiya, after a moment of silence, finally decided to use its true form.
As a descendant of the Demon God, Aoluxiya was granted, inherited, and sealed with three powers by the Lord of the Flameless: the True Form, True Spirit, and True Name.
Unsealing one power provided a significant boost to Aoluxiyaâs strength. However, unsealing power prematurely, before the strength was fully developed, also damaged Aoluxiyaâs potential for the future.
Moreover, since these powers were inherited from the Lord of the Flameless, the more they were used, the more Aoluxiyaâs path would resemble that of the Lord of the Flameless. Aoluxiyaâs diligent quest for the Primeval Flame stemmed from its desire not to walk the same path as the Lord of the Flameless.
Therefore, Aoluxiya had not unsealed its own powers for a long time.
But now, facing Monty, Aoluxiya was constantly restricted. Just before this, if not for Nitotipuâs umbrella speaking up in time, it almost met its end here.
In such a situation, Aoluxiya could only unseal its true form.
With a mere thought from Aoluxiya, the porcelain-white shell covering its body emitted a glowing radiance and turned into a liquid substance. This porcelain-white shell, including the mask on its face, might seem like some kind of tool to others, but only Aoluxiya knew that this was in fact a seal, and a shackle.
The porcelain-white liquid flowed over Aoluxiyaâs body.
As the liquid cascaded down from the crown of its head, touching the armor, it seemed to spontaneously create a protective cover of porcelain-white.
When the liquid reached the back, the brilliance flashed, turning into six pairs of wings that diminished in size from top to bottom, although these wings had no feathers but were made of shiny porcelain surfaces.
As the liquid reached the rear, it formed into a large, smooth, white tail.
In just an instant, Aoluxiya had transformed into a massive, streamlined creature, pure white and porcelain-like, radiant and glossy, where every detail was as exquisite as the finest porcelain.
By human standards of beauty, this was unquestionably the most beautiful non-human entity anyone had seen.
When Aoluxiya assumed its true form, it seemed to acquire an unknown and majestic aura all over. This aura carried with it a sense of solemnity and reverence, almost as if one was in the presence of a deity.
It was only then that everyone truly felt it.
What it means to be an offspring of the gods!
