Ice Seal Domain!
The moment the Snow Mountain King unleashed his Ice Seal Domain, the spacetime around Gu Chou began to freeze and solidify bit by bit!
Even though they were separated from Ye Xuan and the others by countless spacetimes, Ye Xuan and the rest still felt a bone-chilling cold!
In the scene, Ye Xuan and the others’ expressions grew incredibly grave.
The Snow Mountain King had opened with a domain!
All eyes turned to Gu Chou, this peerless genius from the Evil Clan. Could he withstand the invincible Snow Mountain King?
Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Chou slowly raised his right hand, then gently lowered it.
Boom!
In an instant, the spacetime around him erupted into a boiling frenzy!
If the spacetime had been a vast snowy mountain moments ago, it now transformed into a raging volcano, one actively erupting!
Gradually, the Snow Mountain King’s Ice Seal Domain began to shatter piece by piece!
Seeing this, Fan Jian and the others’ brows furrowed.
Their lives and deaths now hinged on the Snow Mountain King. If he lost, Gu Chou would slaughter them without hesitation, and even if all ten of them teamed up against this terrifying Gu Chou, it’d be futile!
Because Gu Chou’s Time Domain alone was something they couldn’t break!
Just then, in the distance, the Snow Mountain King suddenly threw a punch.
A simple punch!
Boom!
Yet that single punch shattered the boiling spacetime, silencing it in an instant!
One move to break it!
The invincible Snow Mountain King looked at Gu Chou, his eyes still calm, not a ripple of emotion!
Gu Chou’s face retained its faint smile. Clearly, neither had gotten serious yet!
Outside, Xue Linglong beside Ye Xuan suddenly said gravely, “Who do you think will win?”
Ye Xuan replied bluntly, “I don’t know!”
Xue Linglong frowned, “How could you not know?”
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, “Do you think I’m that impressive?”
Xue Linglong glanced at him and said no more.
In that distant spacetime, Gu Chou smiled faintly. He took a step forward, and with that step, his body turned illusory. The next moment, the spacetime around him and the Snow Mountain King began to shuttle rapidly!
Seeing this, Fan Jian’s pupils shrank, “Is this… a Spacetime Domain?”
Wu Lingmu stared intently at the shuttling spacetime, “He’s trying to shred the Snow Mountain King with spacetime!”
Within that shifting spacetime, the Snow Mountain King’s body began to tremble violently. A closer look revealed an immensely terrifying force tearing at him!
Spacetime Domain!
Just then, the Snow Mountain King stepped forward. With that step, the shuttling spacetime around him froze, and in the next instant, he threw a punch!
Boom!
Countless shuttling spacetimes dissolved into nothingness in that moment!
Broken by sheer force!
The Snow Mountain King looked at Gu Chou not far away, “Is that it?”
Is that it?
His voice was calm, yet it carried an unmistakable trace of disdain!
Outside, Wu Lingmu and Fan Jian exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of shock!
They hadn’t expected the Snow Mountain King to dismantle Gu Chou’s Spacetime Domain so effortlessly!
More crucially, they couldn’t discern anything extraordinary about that punch. To them, it seemed like a plain strike, devoid of any power!
But clearly, it wasn’t!
Across from the Snow Mountain King, Gu Chou fell silent for a moment, then smiled, “The Truth of Power!”
The Snow Mountain King began walking slowly toward Gu Chou, “Anything else to surprise me with? If not…”
He paused, then suddenly looked at Ye Xuan in the distance, “Have him lend you that sword. With it in your hands, I think things might get interesting!”
At those words, everyone in the scene froze!
Lend the sword?
Fan Jian and Wu Lingmu’s brows knitted tightly. What was their greatest fear? Ye Xuan lending his sword to Gu Chou. If that blade ended up in Gu Chou’s hands, how terrifying would that be?
And they hadn’t expected the Snow Mountain King to outright suggest Gu Chou borrow it!
Unmatched confidence?
Or unmatched arrogance?
Ye Xuan glanced at the Snow Mountain King but said nothing.
Just then, Gu Chou burst into laughter, “Borrow a sword? Snow Mountain King, do you think I need it? Haha…”
As his voice rang out, he stepped forward. The next moment, he appeared right before the Snow Mountain King and threw a punch straight at his face!
The Snow Mountain King met it with a punch of his own!
Both strikes were calm, simple, devoid of any power fluctuations!
Boom!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, both recoiled simultaneously, each tumbling into a spacetime abyss.
Seeing this, Fan Jian and Wu Lingmu’s faces darkened.
The Truth of Power!
Gu Chou had grasped it too!
In the spacetime abyss, the Snow Mountain King stepped forward, emerging with that single stride!
He looked at Gu Chou, who’d stepped out as well, and nodded slightly, “Now it’s getting interesting!”
With that, he vanished from his spot. Almost simultaneously, Gu Chou disappeared too.
Boom!
That patch of spacetime exploded like a supernova, countless dimensions boiling before annihilating bit by bit!
At this point, no one could see Gu Chou or the Snow Mountain King anymore!
Their speed was simply too fast!
In the scene, the Evil Clan members stared intently at the vanishing spacetime. If Gu Chou won, the Evil Clan would wash away millennia of shame and reclaim the pinnacle of this universe.
But if he lost, the Evil Clan, reborn today, would vanish forever!
Born and buried in a single day!
The survival of every Evil Clan member rested on Gu Chou alone!
Ye Xuan’s heart wasn’t calm either. Whether it was Gu Chou or the Snow Mountain King, both were insanely strong!
Then, Xue Linglong beside him spoke again, “Is your sister stronger than them?”
Ye Xuan turned to her and smiled, “Why the sudden question, Lady Linglong?”
Xue Linglong gazed at the countless collapsing spacetimes in the distance and murmured, “I just want to know… because I feel Gu Chou and my ancestor are so overwhelmingly strong! I can’t imagine anyone in this world surpassing them…”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Indeed, as Xue Linglong said, if he hadn’t seen Qing’er, his father, and his大哥, he wouldn’t believe anyone could outmatch the Snow Mountain King and Gu Chou!
As it stood, these two were the ceiling of the Life-Knowing Realm!
But Qing’er existed beyond that!
Xue Linglong added, “Whether it’s Gu Chou or my ancestor, they’re both in the Life-Knowing Realm, and so am I…”
She paused, then shook her head with a bitter smile, “Seeing them, I realise how weak I am. People like me don’t deserve to be called Life-Knowing!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Feeling discouraged?”
Xue Linglong looked at him, “Don’t you have any thoughts?”
Ye Xuan blinked, puzzled, “What thoughts?”
Xue Linglong snapped, a bit annoyed, “Seeing how amazing they are, don’t you feel even a shred of inferiority or shame?”
Ye Xuan found it baffling, “Their greatness is their business. Why should I feel inferior or ashamed? Are you out of your mind?”
Xue Linglong’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan continued, “People shouldn’t compare themselves to others, it’ll just drive you mad!”
Xue Linglong said coolly, “Don’t you have any ambitions?”
Ye Xuan was speechless, “What ambitions do you want me to have? Invincibility? I’d love to be invincible! But my strength doesn’t allow it!”
Xue Linglong: “…”
Ye Xuan looked at the still-annihilating spacetime in the distance, “Seeing them, I don’t feel inferior or ashamed, because I think I’m pretty impressive too!”
Xue Linglong glanced at him, “Where are you impressive? Your thick skin?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Lady Linglong, how long have you lived?”
Xue Linglong pointed at the distant spacetime, “I know what you’re getting at. You want to say you’re young. But isn’t Gu Chou young too? He’s about your age, isn’t he? And you’re a full-on second-generation type, yet you don’t seem stronger than others! Of course, I know you’ll say Gu Chou had all the Evil Clan’s resources and their ancestors’ grooming. But you’re a second-generation too! So why are you so weak?”
Ye Xuan shrugged, “Can’t help it, my dad went for free-range parenting! If he’d kept me by his side and trained me… I reckon I could strut around with real strength, not all this flashy nonsense! If I had the power, who’d want to mess around with theatrics all day? Don’t you think I’d love to be like my大哥, casually telling people, ‘Kneel and beg for death?’ Or like Qing’er, saying, ‘Where’s your family? Point the way, I’ll arrange a grand burial for them all?’”
He sighed and shook his head, “My strength just doesn’t allow it!”
Xue Linglong: “…”
Ye Xuan sighed again, “It’s like ordinary folk. If a man’s got no power, no money, and a thin skin, what woman’s going to look at him? Every single guy out there’s either broke or too shy!”
Xue Linglong stared at Ye Xuan, at a loss for words.
Ye Xuan went on, “You all say I’m shameless, that I rely on my dad and sister… Lady Linglong, let me ask you, if you weren’t the Snow Mountain King’s descendant, with no Great Snow Mountain resources, could you have reached where you are today? Could you?”
Xue Linglong fell silent.
Without the Great Snow Mountain’s support, she’d never have gotten this far!
Ye Xuan shrugged, “See? You’re a second-generation type too!”
Xue Linglong said coldly, “I relied on Snow Mountain’s resources, sure, but I didn’t have my ancestor step in to kill my enemies for me. You, though, with that Mu Mo just now…”
Ye Xuan cut her off, “Did I ask Qing’er to kill him? From start to finish, I never actively contacted her, did I? And wasn’t it him who went looking for her? I even warned him not to, but did he listen?”
He looked utterly innocent, “Pretty much everyone Qing’er’s killed went after her themselves. Some people, I can’t even stop them! Like that Mu Mo just now… if you try to hold them back, they think you’re looking down on them… What can I do? I’ll tell you, my current enemies are tame compared to the old ones. Back then, they didn’t just come for me, they went after my dad and Qing’er… I miss those days, honestly. I loved the ones who didn’t just want me dead but aimed to wipe out my whole family! Thrilling, exciting! Really, whenever I hear someone wants to exterminate my nine generations, I feel refreshed, full of energy!”
Xue Linglong glared at Ye Xuan, “Have you ever considered what you’d do if someone stronger than your dad became your enemy?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Isn’t that something for my dad to worry about? What’s it got to do with me?”
Qingshan Man: “…”
