Ling Yun pushed his speed to the limit and raced toward the Extreme North like the wind. The closer he got, the more obvious the abnormality in the air became. What had once been merely biting cold was now mixed with a thick, suffocating evil aura, as well as an icy radiation that seemed to come from the stars themselves. The skies of the Extreme North were shrouded in a strange dark-green aurora. The light warped, as though space itself were groaning.
When he reached the outskirts of the Permafrost Abyss, the sight before him made even the battle-hardened Ling Yun feel a chill in his heart.
The once snow-white ice plains had turned an eerie purplish-black over vast stretches. The surface of the ice was covered in a viscous substance that writhed like a living thing, giving off dense evil aura and Star Evil radiation. Tiny black snowflakes glittering with starlight drifted through the air. When they landed on the body, they could actually corrode Soul Power barriers!
At the entrance to the abyss, the defensive line built by the alliance was already on the verge of collapse. Damaged soul tool fortresses belched black smoke, while the ground was littered with the corpses of Star Evil Beasts and mutated ice-element soul beasts, along with the remains of many human soul masters. The battle still raged, but the alliance was clearly at a disadvantage.
At the center of the battlefield, Tang Chen wielded the Clear Sky Hammer as he fiercely battled three grotesquely shaped monsters! They were roughly humanoid, but half of each body was made of shattered stellar crystals that glimmered with sinister starlight, while the other half consisted of black evil ice condensed from the Permafrost Abyss, exuding overwhelming deathly stillness! Their methods of attack were equally bizarre.
