A deathly, snow-white silence blanketed heaven and earth.
Centered on Tianyuan Base, everything within several hundred li had become a world eternally sealed by ice crystals. Thick, deep-blue ice covered everything—mountains, river valleys, mining pits, even abandoned mechanical wreckage.
All life and sound had perished in this extreme cold.
Tianyuan Base had become the most glaring part of this frozen tableau.
The thirty-zhang-tall alloy city walls, along with the laser towers and energy cannons standing atop them, were all encased in translucent ice.
On the walls, the soldiers had turned into hundreds of ice sculptures, frozen in the midst of shooting, shouting, and running. They looked lifelike, yet not a trace of life remained. Even the bullets they had fired had been frozen in place.
Fang Mo and the four True Lords stood in the sky, staring at the scene in silence for a long time. The air was deathly still.
True Monarch Qingshui swept his gaze below, his expression grave. "To turn a thousand-li region into a domain of absolute zero in such a short time, completely freezing life and energy—it must at least be a Heaven Penetrating Level beast that has mastered the complete ice laws."

Bzz!
