Chapter 650 - 346: Please Honor Us with Your Presence, Ice State Heavenly Grotto_2
The person who came from within the rainbow light had an extraordinarily powerful aura, one that surpassed that of any martial artist who had merely condensed the power of principles.
The opponent had already condensed the Heaven and Earth Laws into their body, possessing the Great Power of Domain, and with every move, the might of heaven and earth was at their fingertips.
Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable!
"Not in the early stage of condensing law, but rather in the later stages like this!"
As the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable approached, Li Xuan also deduced the other person's strength and realm.
The Heaven and Earth Laws were profound, blending with the Divine Soul, the Great Power of Domain fully within the body, the thick Heaven and Earth Laws were not as simple as just entering the realm of Condensation Law.
It must be in the late stage of the Condensation Law Realm!
The opponent held a long spear in their hand, which was a Divine Artifact, much more powerful than those of the Spiritual Realm, if the Spiritual Realm Divine Artifacts were considered inferior, what the opponent held was superior.
"Their strength is comparable to that of the Divine Skill Realm."
Theoretically, the realm of the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable is higher than that of the Divine Skill Realm, but their strength matches it.
"Even if Xu Yan reaches the perfection of the Divine Origin Realm, he is no match for a Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable, but he wouldn't fear the Divine Skill Realm anymore."
Li Xuan sighed in relief.
He had been able to overpower a Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable back when he was in the Divine Skill Realm, and now that he was in the Physiognomy Realm, he was even less afraid.
"With my current strength, I exceed the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable."
Great Wilderness Martial Arts, when in the Divine Origin Realm, already far exceeded the Taicang Martial Arts. Upon entering the Divine Skill Realm, theoretically, it was comparable to the Divine Refinement Celestials, but actually, its strength was the realm of a Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable.
And even stronger than a Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable at that.
The profundity of Divine Skills is extraordinary, naturally a notch stronger.
The people from the Thousand Martial Hall were ecstatic, hastily prostrating themselves to welcome with great respect, "Thousand Martial Hall respectfully welcomes the arrival of the Heavenly Venerable!"
"Who has violated the rules of the Spiritual Realm, to warrant summoning the Venerable here?"
The figure atop the rainbow light had arrived above Hongzhou, and his voice thundered across the sky.
The remaining powerhouses in Hongzhou were all stunned.
Tan Wenlin and other Wanshi Alliance martial artists all had drastic changes in expression, looking towards the person coming from within the rainbow light, their hearts trembling.
Is this the foundation of the Transcendent Spirit Sect?
Is this the reliance on which the Transcendent Spirit Sect commands the Spiritual Realm, also the origin of the rules of the Spiritual Realm?
"So powerful!"
Xu Yan spoke with a grave expression.
He was no match!
"I really am still too weak!"
Xu Yan sighed.
What does it count for to be at the peak of the Spiritual Realm?
Master was right, I cannot be complacent and proud just because I have some strength, Martial Arts are limitless, just when I think I am the strongest, there may be someone even stronger!
The person who arrived from within the rainbow light was clad in a black armor, holding a long spear, resembling a war general, with a murderous aura enveloping him.
As if he had fought through countless battles, as if he was a powerhouse who had emerged from the battlefield.
Boom!
He stepped out from the rainbow light, fully entering the borders of Hongzhou. The Heavenly Venerable's might surged in all directions, the Domain's Heaven and Earth Laws seemed to be under his control.
The long spear in his hand had a chilling murderous aura, a sight that would make one's heart go cold.
"We salute the Heavenly Venerable!"
The lord of the Thousand Martial Hall and others spoke with reverence and zeal.
The Heavenly Venerable's gaze swept over, and upon seeing Hu Bubai and the five other core prodigies, he smiled and said, "Good, very good. For acting on behalf of the Thousand Martial Lord and taking in five Spiritual Body disciples, you have established a merit."
The people from the Thousand Martial Hall were overjoyed again.
"Speak, who has defied the rules of the Spiritual Realm, who has offended the Thousand Martial Hall!" The Heavenly Venerable said with a fierce look.
"Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable, it is..." The Thousand Martial Lord was just about to speak when at that moment, a figure rushed frantically from the sky.
Even being at the peak of Divine Refinement Celestial, he was now pale as a ghost, gasping for air, exhausted.
His voice was colored with panic, shouting loudly: "My lord from the Upper Sect, there's been a terrible development, an unknown Black Cave has appeared at the location of Ice State's Quiet Snow Palace.
"The snowmelt in Ice State is all related to this!"
This person was the Divine Refinement Celestial at the peak who had rushed desperately from Ice State.
Having to avoid unknown dangers, he took a great detour and had only now hastily arrived.
The Thousand Martial Lord was furious, for being interrupted while reporting urgent matters to the Heavenly Venerable, this person deserved to die!
He glared angrily, about to rebuke the other.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the news, the expression of the newly arrived Heavenly Venerable suddenly changed drastically.
Raising his hand, he instantly captured the incoming martial artist, his eyes widened in shock and asked, "What did you just say?"
The martial artist was so terrified that he turned pale, his whole body shaking, his lips quivering. This powerhouse was too frightening.
"Do not panic, I have no ill-intent, speak quickly!"
The Heavenly Venerable took a deep breath and asked again with a calmer tone.
"At the location of Ice State's Quiet Snow Palace, it has turned into a Black Cave, extremely strange. The snowmelt in Ice State seems to be largely related to this, after I made the discovery, I rushed to report it!" The martial artist said, his lips trembling.
The Heavenly Venerable's expression changed drastically in an instant, disbelief written all over his face, "A Heavenly Cave has appeared in the Spiritual Realm? How is this possible!"
"Where is Ice State located?"
The Heavenly Venerable asked solemnly.
"We will be able to reach Ice State soon!"
The Martial Artist pointed with a gesture.
"By the order of the Heavenly Venerable, all Spiritual Sect Warriors of the Spiritual Realm are to gather in Ice State!"
The Heavenly Venerable turned to the Thousand Martial Lord and spoke in a deep voice.
No sooner had his voice faded than he soared into the sky, declaring, "I myself will go to Ice State to confront the enemies!"
Without regarding the astonished looks of the Thousand Martial Lord and the others, he was gone in the blink of an eye, heading straight for Ice State.
"Lord, what should we do?"
The elders of the Thousand Martial Hall were stunned.
Originally, the summoning of the Heavenly Venerable was meant to quell the Wanshi Alliance and defeat Xu Yan and the others. Yet upon hearing of the trouble in Ice State, the Heavenly Venerable had set off for Ice State directly.
To confront the enemy?
"The orders of the Heavenly Venerable must not be disobeyed!"
Despite his reluctance, the Thousand Martial Lord had no choice but to comply with the Heavenly Venerable's decree.
He turned to the pale-faced Martial Artist and began to inquire about the specifics of the situation.
After having heard the full account, the Thousand Martial Lord's expression changed radically; the incident in Ice State seemed to be even more dreadful than he had imagined!
"A Heavenly Grotto? In the Spiritual Realm, there is only one set of Heavenly Grotto Ruins, so why would there be a Heavenly Grotto at the Quiet Snow Palace in Ice State?"
The Thousand Martial Lord's heart turned cold.
Although he was yet to comprehend what the Heavenly Grotto signified, the fact that it had provoked such intense caution and concern from the Heavenly Venerable meant it was certainly a massive crisis.
"Fu Tianhai, relay the order to the Spiritual Sect Warriors to convene in Ice State; it is the command of the Heavenly Venerable!"
The Thousand Martial Lord called out loudly.
He then led the Martial Artists of the Thousand Martial Hall, as well as the forces of the affiliated Spirit Sects, straight toward Ice State.
"Wanshi Alliance, your luck is good. Tan Wenlin, go to Ice State!"
Fu Tianhai said with a smile.
Ice State was in major trouble.
All Martial Artists, one by one, set off for Ice State.
"Master, shall we also go to Ice State to see what's happened?"
Su Lingxiu asked with a curious face. What exactly had happened in Ice State that the Heavenly Venerable himself would go directly there?
Li Xuan nodded.
Meng Shushu originally wanted to advise against it, but on second thought, considering that their senior was an unparalleled master, no disaster in Ice State could pose a threat to Evergreen Pavilion.
Red Cat, Yu Xiaolong, and Little Ha also arrived at the Evergreen Pavilion and set out together for Ice State.
Boom!
The Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Boat soared into the air, transforming into a beam of light, racing straight toward Ice State.
...
In Yun State, the scene was desolate with slaughter ongoing.
The Martial Artists who had just returned to Yun State had already suffered some casualties.
"The monsters from Quiet Snow Palace deserve death!"
Roars of anger and rage were never-ending.
"Something is wrong. The people from Quiet Snow Palace are not the originals anymore; only their bodies remain!"
Xin Mengrou spoke with a grave gaze.
Boom!
Wu Tianan made a move, annihilating a female disciple from Quiet Snow Palace.
Rumble!
The body of the Quiet Snow Palace woman was destroyed by his blow, but the sinister Divine Soul that dwelt within seemed to be retracted as if collected back.
"The source is in Ice State, in the Quiet Snow Palace, let's go directly there," Lord Leiyun said somberly.
This disaster in the Spiritual Realm was even more terrifying than the calamity of the Blood Demon from before.
The group headed straight for the location of the Quiet Snow Palace.
"The snow in Ice State has all melted."
Upon entering Ice State, no pure white snow was to be seen; the bone-chilling cold was gone, replaced by the warmth of spring.
There was no fiery heat, just a comfortable warmth.
"Something isn't right!"
On the Flying Boat, Fang Hao's expression was heavy with concern.
The Domain Qimen's force seemed peculiar after entering Ice State; he had noticed something unusual.
Within the gentle aura, there appeared to be an unknown force that insulated the Domain Lingji, causing it to lose its vitality.
On the surface, the Domain Lingji seemed normal, but it had lost the responsiveness inherent to it.
This meant that the Domain Lingji could not detect some of the abnormalities occurring between heaven and earth.
This discovery weighed heavily on his mind, prompting him to slow the Flying Boat.
"Let's wait for the seniors to arrive; there's no need to take risks!"
Moon Changming said gravely.
Fang Hao nodded and sent a message to the Wanshi Alliance's strong figures not to advance rashly and to always be prepared to escape if necessary.
