Ice Master's Full Awakening
"The fact that you're here means our plan has failed, doesn't it?"
The Fifth King Palace frowned and spat out a large pool of blood, within which arcs of lightning danced. He had finally forced out the power that the Master of Thunder had invaded his body.
"Of course, when you came to my secluded place, I had just woken up and casually killed those seven demon bastards who were at the first level of True King. I was planning to come here to find an interesting little guy, but I didn't expect to run into you and that fool from the Seventh King Palace."
Master of Thunder's pair of dazzling silver eyes subtly surveyed the Fifth King Palace, and an extremely powerful sense of oppression slowly rippled across the scene.
The injured Fifth King Palace subconsciously took a step back.
Although he has survived Three-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation, he is no match for the Master of Thunder who wields the power of thunder. If he wants to stop the Master of Thunder, the top three of the Ten King Palace must take action.
However, if he is determined to escape, even the Master of Thunder cannot stop him.
"Master of Thunder, how about the two of us join forces and take down this Fifth King Palace?"
Lin Dong swept over, his gaze sweeping intently over the Fifth King Palace. What a great opportunity! It's rare to encounter a lone King.
"Haha, just what I wanted!"
Upon hearing this, the Master of Thunder laughed loudly. With a clench of his palm, a silver lightning seal, its entire body covered with countless arcs of lightning, rapidly solidified and leaped out, radiating extremely terrifying fluctuations.
"Master of Thunder! Lin Dong! We, the Demon Prison, will never forget the grudge against the Seventh King Palace!!"
Terrified, the Fifth King Palace didn't hesitate and transformed into an enormous Demonic Lotus, tearing through the void at an astonishing speed.
"Tch, the Fifth King Palace of the Demon Prison is really too stupid."
Lin Dong chuckled and shook his head, casually dispelling the Spear of Judgment that had reappeared in his hand; it was nothing but a showpiece.
He had just fought a full-scale war against the Seventh King Palace, and although he successfully annihilated them, his internal power was almost exhausted. He had no strength left to join forces with the Master of Thunder to keep the Fifth King Palace alive.
"The Fifth King Palace was only startled by my sudden appearance and didn't notice such details in their panic. However, you'd better not fight him alone in the future. Even for me, defeating him is easy, but taking him down alone is very difficult."
The Master of Thunder then dispersed the Ancient Thunder Seal that had formed in his palm.
"Understood." Lin Dong nodded slightly.
Judging from Lin Dong's current combat strength, he should have no problem facing the last five of the Ten King Palace, but if he were to face the top five King Palaces, he would have no choice but to turn around and run away.
"Come back to the Eastern Xuan Region with me, Huanhuan, oh, that is, the Ice Master wants to see you."
Lin Dong spoke up.
"Huanhuan? Is that the Ice Master's name in this life?"
Master of Thunder nodded thoughtfully.
"Buzz!"
The space suddenly distorted, and four powerful figures appeared one after another.
All four Reincarnation Stage warriors from the Darkness Palace were mobilized, with Qing Tan, wielding the Darkness Sacred Scythe, leading the charge. She was currently the strongest warrior in the Darkness Palace.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A whistling sound of wind breaking filled the air as an endless black torrent, brimming with soaring battle intent, swept in from all directions. It was the force of several elite legions stationed in the Darkness City.
This is also one of the reasons why the Seventh King Palace lured Lin Dong away from the Darkness City.
As a behemoth that dominates the Northern Xuan Region, the Darkness Palace, with its nearly ten thousand-year history, possesses profound resources. With the cooperation of three or four Cycle Stage Experts and a million-strong elite army, even the Demonic Prison King Hall would find it quite troublesome.
"Brother Lin Dong, are you alright?"
A beautiful woman in a black dress rushed towards him with a tense expression.
Upon receiving Lin Dong's message, Qing Tan immediately notified Bo Xuan, and then led Bo Xuan, Two Grand Elders, and several elite legions stationed near Darkness City to provide support without stopping for a moment.
"It's nothing. The two kings of the Demon Prison attacked, but I killed the Seventh King Palace, and the Fifth King Palace was repelled by the Master of Thunder who arrived later."
Lin Dong came in and spoke succinctly.
"The two kings of the Demon Prison?!"
The Two Grand Elders, who knew of the existence of the Demon Prison, subconsciously gasped. Just who was this ruthless person who could single-handedly kill the Seventh King Palace of the Demon Prison?
However, a sense of relief immediately followed.
Since the Seventh King Palace had been killed by this master, their defeat seemed justified, and they were free from any psychological burden.
"Master of Thunder Lord!"
Upon hearing the name of the Master of Thunder, Bo Xuan was startled and hurriedly bowed to the imposing silver-haired middle-aged man.
"Hmm, the martial arts you practice are seven or eight parts similar to those created by my junior sister. Your lineage must have been left behind by the Dark Junior Sister, right?"
Master of Thunder glanced at Bo Xuan and immediately understood.
"Yes, Master of Thunder."
Bo Xuan answered honestly.
"The attacking Demon King has been repelled by us. Let's go back and strengthen our defenses to guard against a counterattack from the powerful demons of the Demon Prison."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group gathered their forces and returned to the Darkness City.
The next day.
Qing Tan did not wait for the Sacrificial Ceremony a few days later. On the same day, she set off with Lin Dong and Master of Thunder to the Eastern Xuan Region to return to the Great Yan Dynasty and briefly reunite with Lin Xiao and his wife.
Deep within the Dao Sect.
On the endless Ice Lake, a slender figure sat cross-legged in the center of Ice Lotus.
The girl was slender, with long, ice-blue hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her eyes were closed, and her delicate body was covered with a thin layer of Frost, making her look like an Ice Goddess who had been sleeping for thousands of years.
"Da da da!"
At this moment, the sound of rhythmic footsteps rang out, and a tall, slender figure slowly walked from outside the Ice Lake toward the center of the lake. Then, he stopped and squatted down in front of the Ice Lotus, gazing gently at the delicate figure sitting cross-legged in the heart of the lotus.
The slender figure seemed to sense something; her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her long-closed beautiful eyes suddenly opened, as cold as an ancient glacier, chilling to the bone.
But when the Ice Goddess noticed the figure crouching in front of her, her usually icy face instantly softened, the Frost dissipated, and a gentle smile appeared, "You've brought Qing Tan back?"
"Hmm, your strength has been fully restored?"
Lin Dong stretched out his long, slender hand and gently stroked the girl's fair face.
"I guess so. Since you weren't here, I went into seclusion for a short time, and I didn't expect my power to return in full force."
Ying Huanhuan smiled and pulled her lover to her feet, then lightly touched the Ice Lotus beneath her feet.
"Click-clack! Click-clack!"
Cracks, like a spider web, spread rapidly from the center of the Ice Lotus outwards, covering the entire vast Ice Lake in an instant. Finally, the solid ice layer shattered, revealing the shimmering blue water beneath.
The fish swimming beneath the surface were still in the same motion they had been in before being frozen. Now that the ice had melted, the fish seemed to have done nothing and continued to swim leisurely into the distance.
The Ten-Thousand-Zhang Giant Lake instantly came to life!
