Advancement, Nine Stars; Primordial Frost, Primordial Ice Capital!
On the surface of the blue-gold core, the knife-like cracks gradually shrank and faded as the power of the Spirit Shaping Liquid seeped in.
This process has been going on for a very long time.
Every time Ronan meditated for a period of time, he would stop to observe the changes in the core, as well as the supply of external Spirit Shaping Liquid and Spirit Shaping Array.
After completing another Master Level Star Chart Deduction [[Primordial Meditation Technique]], Ronan focused his attention on the core of his spiritual power and was astonished to find that the cracks on the surface of the core had completely disappeared, becoming as smooth and natural as a perfectly formed sphere.
Moreover, the blue-gold color on the core surface is gradually fading, and the intricate whale pattern on it gives people a sense of returning to simplicity.
"Finally finished!"
Even Ronan couldn't help but feel a touch of joy at this moment.
So far, he has been performing the "spirit shaping" or "spirit sealing" process.
After this step is completed, the next step is to wait for the primordial spirit to "emerge" from the core.
The waiting time is unpredictable; it could be short, or it could be unexpectedly long.
"It's been more than half a year since I stepped into the Spirit Shaping Pool."
Ronan felt a slight ripple of emotion as he thought about this.
Judging by the time, the "Holy Grail Proof" trial is about to begin, and at the current pace, he is not sure if he can make it in time to help Serena.
"If we can't make it in time, we'll make it up to her in other ways later."
Serena contributed greatly to Ronan's advancement. Almost all the resources Ronan used in the final stage of becoming Level Four Wizard were obtained through Serena, and Ronan did not want to take advantage of her for nothing.
Thinking it over, Ronan focused his mind and continued meditating.
Nothing is more important right now than his promotion to level five.
In the Yan Xia, the dense forest echoes with the noisy and persistent chirping of insects.
Serena stood beside the enormous Spirit Shaping Array. The Spirit Shaping Pool at the center was obscured by the inexplicably overgrown vegetation, making it difficult to see the figure sitting inside. She could only sense a strange, extremely restrained, suppressed, and heavy spiritual energy fluctuation that emanated from it like a tide every now and then.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, a flash of crimson light streaked across the sky above the jungle, as if a scorching sun had suddenly appeared in the sky, and an invisible heat wave swept in from afar, instantly erasing the remaining coolness in the forest.
The wizards in the forest were startled by this strange phenomenon and all looked in a certain direction. They could clearly feel powerful auras rising in the distance, like some kind of chain signal.
"Your Highness."
The silver-haired witch rushed over. Serena remained calm and said nothing, only taking one last look at the figure in the center of the Spirit Shaping Array before leaping up and flying directly out of the dense forest.
At this moment, the vast Valley of Gilded Doors was filled with endless gales.
The gale whipped the forest into violent undulations, the liquid gold-like river rippled, and the clouds surged in the sky, causing the entire Valley of Gilded Doors to be in a constant state of alternating light and shadow.
The two groups were already waiting in the sky above the dense forest.
One group consisted of the Life Royal Court, chosen by Serena herself; the other group was chosen by Serena herself.
"A Ni the Wizard".
Serena greeted the leader, a Level Five Wizard who was even more beautiful than a woman, and solemnly said, "This time, I'm entrusting it to you all."
"Your Princess, there's no need for you to be so polite."
The latter returned the greeting to Serena with a gentle expression.
"Our Lordship specifically instructed us before going into seclusion that if he did not emerge in time, we should follow Her Highness the Princess's arrangements completely..."
Serena's expression was complicated, and she nodded slightly.
At that moment, countless golden rays of light suddenly descended rapidly from the sky above.
Everyone present quickly turned their heads to look, and saw countless golden lights falling from the clouds. These lights intertwined with the beams of light projected from both sides of the Valley of Gilded Doors below, gradually outlining the contours of a huge portal.
This enormous portal stands between the valley and the sky, allowing more golden light to shine through. Countless pale golden lines grow on the portal, which gradually transforms from ethereal to tangible, radiating wave after wave of intense energy fluctuations.
Serena and the others stared intently at the scene unfolding before them. As countless golden lights continuously filled the illusory portal, making it appear real and magnificent, suddenly, the ancient portal opened inward with a "boom"!
It was as if a door to a new world had been opened, revealing a dark blue-green plain, upon which flowed a shimmering Gilded Door River.
The two golden rivers inside and outside the door silently joined together, and in an instant, a magnificent and transparent ripple spread out, seemingly blurring the boundary between the two spaces.
"Call--"
A group of figures flew out from the Valley of Gilded Doors, and led by a figure surrounded by countless crimson flames, they quickly darted into the portal.
The second and third parties followed closely behind.
Serena looked at the huge, wide-open portal before her, took a deep breath, and then led the group behind her toward the portal.
The enormous and illusory magnificent portal appeared to be located in the middle of the Valley of Gilded Doors, but in reality, it was much farther away than anyone could imagine.
Following the Gilded Door River beneath their feet, and traversing the long crossing between two spaces, Serena and her party finally stood on the vast, dark blue plain.
The first thing that catches the eye is an ancient white stone forest in the distance. This stone forest is composed of towering white stone pillars that reach into the clouds. It is said that during the most prosperous period of the royal court, an elder of the council would stand on each of these stone pillars.
However, less than one-tenth of the seats are currently occupied.
Serena turned her head to look in the direction she had come from and could clearly see the view of the Valley of Gilded Doors.
The gates will not be closed until this trial is over, and anyone can witness the fairness and impartiality of the Holy Grail.
All six wizards were present, standing in unison around the white stone forest. The Gilded Door River flowed around the stone forest, and their aged yet dignified voices descended from the stone pillars.
"The one who ascended to kingship by shattering the cup did not do so because of his strength."
For you see the light even when all others are weak.
You ascended to kingship by shattering the cup; it was not because of you.
Because everyone is seizing the moment, you...
Serena's restless heart gradually calmed down with the chanting, and the two sets of Life Armor intertwined within her body and bloodline also resonated slightly.
When the lengthy oath ended, all the figures dressed in white robes on the white stone pillars stood up and raised their right hands in unison.
A white torch-like radiance ignited in the palm of each person's hand.
At that moment, everyone in the arena looked up.
Amidst a series of beams of light, a colossal Holy Grail slowly emerged from above the stone forest, radiating an ancient and solemn aura.
The Holy Grail seemed to be covered with dense incantations and patterns, but before Serena could examine it closely, it shattered silently.
The ancient Holy Grail emitted countless milky-white soft lights, which turned into crystal fragments of various sizes. A small portion of these fragments fell downwards, and then were propelled by a force, bursting apart in all directions.
A palm-sized white Holy Grail Fragment flew straight toward Serena instinctively reached out and grabbed it.
The instant her fingertips touched the Holy Grail Fragment, a powerful yet gentle force rapidly flowed into her body, merging with her bloodline. Her two sets of Life Armor were instantly awakened, transforming into countless rays of light that enveloped Serena in the form of magnificent armor.
Serena gripped the Holy Grail Fragment in her hand, feeling a significant increase in the resonance between herself and her Life Armor, and a surge of excitement and emotion welled up inside her.
The Chalice of Life is an important tool to help the Alba Family wizards master the Life Armor. For Serena, this trial is not just about proving her potential to the Council of Elders and winning the support of her former brother Garcia's followers.
This is also an important way for Serena to quickly improve her own strength, because she has two sets of weapons, and the benefits she can gain in this trial far exceed those of other heirs.
Just then, another fragment streaked across Serena's eyes like a shooting star, very close to her.
Serena's beautiful eyes flashed, and she instinctively rushed towards the direction of the fragment.
"Clang--"
A gigantic, semi-illusory pendulum swept past Serena's eyes, accompanied by a deafening sound like a morning bell and evening drum. Serena's steps came to an abrupt halt as several spells collided before her, unleashing a thunderous roar that completely disrupted the void.
Looking to the left and right, no fewer than four Level Five Wizards, their robes fluttering, flew rapidly toward them with expressionless faces, their target clearly the Holy Grail Fragment that Serena had just locked onto.
"Thanks."
Serena quickly retreated and whispered her thanks to the Pendulum of Fate Wizard A Ni, for his timely warning.
The latter shook his head and said, "Your Princess, please be careful. This is just the beginning."
"You're right."
Serena took a deep breath, and her burning gaze calmed down again.
"Everything is just beginning."
Within the Consciousness Space, a dazzling starry sky is reflected, its starlight flowing and releasing ripples.
Ronan is like the master of this starry sky. Occasionally, a change of thought can move the stars and create a beautiful and unique interplay of light and shadow.
Just as Ronan was about to complete this deduction, a sudden, inexplicable tremor arose from the depths of his heart.
Soon, he naturally withdrew from the meditative state. The starry sky he had been contemplating faded away quickly, but not completely, and was replaced by pure darkness.
Has it started?
Ronan unknowingly entered an indescribable and wondrous state, his mind incredibly agile and pure, like a newborn baby nestled in the warm embrace of motherhood.
He could hear his own heartbeat.
Immediately following, a pulse sound with a strange rhythm could be heard from the surrounding darkness.
Ronan subconsciously began to long for the arrival of that first ray of light piercing the darkness.
With a slight shift in his thoughts, within his Consciousness Space, the spiritual core, which had completely transformed into pure white, slowly rotated like an eyeball wrapped in eyelids.
"Snap—"
This action seemed to have triggered something, and a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the pure white spiritual core.
Ronan couldn't stop it in time; more cracks had already formed in the core, which seemed like an inevitable outcome.
As the core rotated, more and more cracks appeared, each emitting light that dispelled the surrounding darkness.
At that moment, a surge of joy, like that of a newborn, welled up in Ronan's heart, uncontrollable and flowing like a river.
"Click-clack-click-clack."
The pure white core spun rapidly, then shattered completely, turning into countless fragments that merged into the surrounding darkness.
A great deal of light appeared, Ronan was finally able to see the "truth" beneath the darkness!
—Those are veins of different shapes, colors, and thicknesses.
They are densely intertwined, like a complex and thick net, chaotic yet possessing a harmonious and balanced beauty.
"Rule."
Ronan blinked, a sudden realization dawning on him.
This was not the first time he had seen the so-called "natural rules". When he comprehended the first True Meaning Spell, he had glimpsed the outline of this "Rule Network". After awakening [[Instinctive Grip]], it became even easier to see.
But never before has the entirety of this "Rule Network" been observed so clearly as it is now.
The world at this moment is like a shy maiden, slowly removing her veil before Ronan, revealing her truest inner self to Ronan without reservation.
Ronan observed all of this unfolding, the "network" of rules never ceasing its expansion.
They grew denser and more complex, and Ronan was like a child lying on his back under a tree, trying to peek through the thick shade at the vast sky behind it.
Then, at some point, suddenly, an incredibly robust "backbone" appeared in the dense network.
Almost all the Rule Veins grow from this "main trunk." It transcends the rules, sits above them, governs countless rules, maintains the balance of order, and ensures the operation of the entire "network."
"Laws?"
Ronan suddenly realized that perhaps his perspective in observing all of this was not looking up from below, but looking down from above.
The "backbone" in the "network" is not just one, but increasingly more.
If the power of rules is the branches and roots of a tree, then the laws are the trunk and main roots that support the tree. Together, they support the natural operation of the entire universe, the growth, decay, and reincarnation of all things.
Of course, the situation is far more complex than Ronan could see, understand, or express.
He didn't know if every Level Four Wizard went through the same process as him when advancing to the fifth level, but he was getting a glimpse of the "true face" of this world.
An indescribable, profound emotion arose from the depths of Ronan's soul, like an ant seeing the whole picture of a great tree, or a speck of dust being blown by the wind to the clouds of a vast sky.
His mind was completely enveloped by an inexplicable shock, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Until a beam of light fell on Ronan's "body".
He quietly looked up and saw that in the "network" nearby, dense Rule Veins extended out, with an ice-blue "fruit" growing at the end.
When Ronan tried to touch the "fruit," the numerous Rule Veins connected to it immediately emitted a faint glow and were pulled and mobilized.
"This is my Elemental Spirit Crystal."
Ronan examined the "fruit" in front of him carefully and could clearly see the beautiful patterns interwoven on it.
After the first "fruit" was born, a second and a third quickly followed.
More and more fruits are appearing around Ronan, not only connected to the entire Rule Network, but also intertwined with each other.
Only now did Ronan truly understand why different grades of elemental spirits could create such a large gap in strength.
Because different quantities of Elemental Spirit Crystal result in vastly different ranges and magnitudes of rule power that can be invoked within this Rule Network.
Moreover, as the rank of the Yuanling increases, the gap becomes more and more exaggerated.
This is also the concept of "permissions" that Alazan repeatedly mentions.
The more Elemental Spirit Crystal possesses, the higher the elemental grade one has, the greater one's authority on the Rule Network, and the more abundant the energy one can mobilize with the power of the rules in a single spellcasting.
In the blink of an eye, eight beautiful "fruits" of different colors and shapes appeared in front of Ronan, each one feeling as if it were connected to Ronan by blood.
Moreover, this sense of connection can even extend to the "Rule Network".
Ronan looked at the eight "fruits" in front of him, still expecting something, but his mood was surprisingly calm.
He was "gazing" at a ball of light, which was his ninth Elemental Spirit Crystal that was taking shape.
The ripening of this "fruit" was exceptionally long. Both its size and the intricate and beautiful texture of its surface were significantly superior to the other eight.
When it finally comes into being, it naturally becomes the king of the nine "fruits," sitting in the center like a monarch, with the other eight "fruits" closely surrounding and protecting it, forming a wonderful pattern like a crown.
Ronan looked back along the branch from which the ninth "fruit" had been conceived, and his eyes suddenly trembled slightly.
It was astonishing to discover that behind the ninth "fruit" was a "backbone" of a network.
Ronan reached out and gently touched the ninth Elemental Spirit Crystal.
The moment he sensed the power contained within, his mind was instantly and uncontrollably stirred by intense waves of emotion.
"This is."
"Boom!"
In the dense jungle, countless forbidden lightning bolts poured down like a torrential downpour in an instant, yet remained silent.
It was as if a dazzling array of colored light suddenly descended from the sky, like splashes of oil paint, and then quickly disappeared.
A small patch of primeval forest, several kilometers in size, was completely wiped out of the earth by this force, as if it had evaporated suddenly.
Several Level Four Wizard dressed in the robes of the Life Royal Court collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen, completely bewildered as to what had just happened.
Until one person slowly recovered from the shock, glanced to the side, and immediately his pupils contracted, and he blurted out subconsciously.
"A magic array?!"
The others turned around at the sound and discovered—
The Spirit Shaping Array that they had been observing and protecting for so long had completely disappeared, leaving only a patch of scorched earth in a crystallized state.
The figure of a Daoist priest located at the center of the magic circle had also disappeared without a trace.
On the dark blue plain, beneath a dense array of white stone pillars, a massive battle was raging.
The most striking sight was the clash between fire and wind magical energies at the heart of the battle. It was as if a giant spring had sprung up out of thin air, continuously gushing forth scorching magma and flames. The heatwave rolled and burned through half of the plain's sky, but it was forcefully blocked to one side of the battle by an invisible gale, unable to cross the line.
Amidst the explosive clash of spells and the roar of a dragon, Serena was completely oblivious to the battle; her condition was dire, practically hanging by a thread.
Several Level Five Wizard dressed in the robes of the Twilight Council stood around her, while her shameless brother, Edward Alba. His gaze wandered back and forth between the Holy Grail Fragment Twilight Council her and the Life Armor she wore, sometimes even deliberately lingering on parts of her body that she found shameful, which made Serena feel even colder.
Serena had unleashed her full power; golden runes floated on her magnificent Platinum Armor, coalescing into a dense array of magical arms on her right arm.
With incredible speed, he repeatedly drew the bowstring, and the golden bow in his hand shot out countless terrifying arrows, but after shooting a certain distance, they were firmly blocked by a layer of turbid magical barrier with broken sun ring patterns, and he could not break through it.
Several Level Five Wizard from the Twilight Council were still working together to continuously enhance the power of this magical barrier. Under the cover of this barrier, Serena could clearly feel that the connection between her and the two sets of Life Armor within her body was being weakened.
In this situation, Serena was confident that she could get out of the predicament if someone could just give her a little help.
But at this moment, all the wizards of the Life Royal Court under her command were entangled by Edward's men, and some had even been eliminated. As for the wizards of the Pendulum of Fate, such as A Ni, they were being "played" by a lazy young man wearing a black mask with gold patterns. The other party was from the side of Wolin, from the Ghost Flower Society, which had the most mysterious origins.
A halo of dim, yellow light, like the afterglow of the setting sun, fell upon Serena one after another. Her aura continued to weaken, and she even felt that her hands were so heavy that she could hardly lift the great bow in her hands.
Serena gritted her teeth, her gaze falling on the Holy Grail Fragment surrounding her. The latter, too, was dim in light, giving the impression that it was beyond redemption.
At this moment, Serena was no longer thinking about how to obtain more Holy Grail Fragment in this trial, but how to keep the fragments she already had so as not to become the first person to be eliminated.
"It's over, my dear sister."
Edward's voice came from outside the magical barrier. The latter was wearing white and gold armor similar to Serena's, but the style was simpler and far less magnificent.
Edward smiled, spread his hands outwards, and slowly pulled out a crystal-clear white spear, which exuded an aura of the same origin as Serena's.
Serena took a deep breath, and the ends of the golden bow in her hands began to extend to both sides, emitting strange energy fluctuations that briefly forced away the dense, dim yellow light around her.
"It is the greatest insult to Garcia that his '[Salvation]' has fallen into your hands."
Upon seeing this, Edward's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he coldly raised his spear.
He gave a casual glance to both sides, and the Twilight Council wizards beside him immediately began casting spells, and it seemed that the "decisive attack" against Serena was about to take shape.
Just then, an incredibly terrifying, scorching aura suddenly swept in from the sky behind the group.
The void twisted in an instant, scorched into a melting state, and the robes of Edward and several Level Five Wizards of the Twilight Council burst into smoke. Their force fields evaporated rapidly under the terrifying heat, and their expressions changed drastically as they dodged to the side.
Serena's arrow, which she had been building up to its full potential, was released at that very moment. The unprecedented golden arrow light, like the Eye of the Sky, fell from the void above her head, but it shattered and melted upon touching a figure whose entire body was enveloped in rolling crimson-gold magma.
"Roar--"
The surging magma materialized into a terrifying form resembling the wings of a giant dragon, suddenly spreading out to both sides and unleashing endless flames.
A short-haired youth with rare dark gold eyes slowly emerged from the magma dragon's wings. A wave of heat emanated from his body, and the remaining golden arrow light in the void completely disappeared.
"Do it yourself..."
The short-haired youth looked down at Serena with a cold gaze, lingering briefly on the Holy Grail Fragment in front of her before settling on her face.
"Should I do it myself?"
The Red Calamity, Eremod!
Just being stared at by those dark golden eyes made Serena feel a burning sensation on her face, as if her skin was about to melt.
At this moment, even Life Armor could not give her any sense of security.
She turned her head to look in one direction and saw countless gusts of wind condensing into densely overlapping crosses in the sky, with figures below them frantically casting spells while retreating.
That was the direction of Katie's influence, as she was also an heir.
Clearly, the two forces at the forefront of the six successors had suddenly reached some kind of tacit understanding, to the point that Eremod and his opponent paused their battle and began to clear out and expel everyone in the arena one by one.
Unfortunately, Serena was one of them.
"I"
Serena tried to grip the golden greatbow tightly, but Eremod's aura was constantly pressing down on her. The lava and lake of fire around him hung low, and his cold, dark gold eyes made it seem as if a real Ancient Red Dragon was coldly watching her.
Serena looked around and couldn't see anyone who could offer her crucial help at this moment.
Suddenly, Serena's heart was shrouded in gray, and she became depressed and lost, her last remaining fighting spirit rapidly crumbling.
Perhaps she was never meant to be in this competitive arena.
Serena, disheartened, gently grasped the dim Holy Grail Fragment in front of her and flung it at Eremod.
The few Holy Grail Fragment that she had painstakingly collected and pieced together, once they escaped her control, quickly flew towards a direction behind Eremod, as if she had been eagerly anticipating this moment.
Serena looked up toward the white stone forest in the distance. At the top of the stone pillar, where a few gazes that would occasionally cast their attention toward her had now all turned away indifferently.
She bit her lower lip, and thinking about all that she had given and endured along the way, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Bite--"
Just as Serena was in the most bewilderment of her life, a sharp, metallic sound pierced the air and suddenly assaulted her eardrums.
It seemed to pierce through the thick, almost impenetrable fog before Serena's eyes as well.
The sound was so clear and resonant that it completely drowned out all other noises in the room the moment it appeared.
Serena turned her head abruptly as if waking from a dream.
Everyone who heard the sound looked in the same direction.
That was in the direction where the Gilded Door Portal were wide open, at the end of the dark blue plain.
Above the quietly flowing Gilded Door River, the metallic resonance grew louder and louder until it completely drew everyone's attention.
A magnificent, long bridge, cast in gold, stretches endlessly into the distance.
The group of Pendulum of Fate wizards, led by A Ni, stopped casting their spells and faced the direction from which the golden bridge extended, bowing silently as if they were welcoming something.
At the moment they bowed, on the other side of the golden bridge, an incomparably blazing and dazzling golden sun rose slowly, instantly crossing layers of void and appearing before everyone.
The Holy Grail Fragment that Serena threw drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and then, as if summoned by another force, it trembled and flew back, rushing towards the dazzling golden sun like a moth to a flame.
Until a slender, fair hand gently pressed down on her.
The golden sunlight quickly receded, and a tall, upright figure adorned with platinum and gold slowly emerged from it.
"It seems so."
The newcomer casually examined the so-called Holy Grail Fragment in his hand, then looked at Serena, who was staring blankly, her expression a mixture of shock and joy, and said indifferently, "I'm not too late, am I?"
Serena stared blankly at the person in front of her, opened her mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.
The youth's dramatic entrance, like a golden sun, brought a brief silence to the arena, until it was broken by Eremod's cold snort.
"You're the Golden Dawn that the Pendulum of Fate has been touting?"
Eremod looked at the person who had just appeared and shook his head. "You don't look that great. Your fire magic... is really just so-so."
As Eremod spoke, his dark gold eyes flashed, and dense patterns resembling Dragon Scale appeared on his body. He then formed hand seals, releasing terrifying mental power that seemed to instantly draw all the Flame Energy from the entire space.
Endless magma and flames rose around Eremod, extending dense, crimson veins from the top of his head, which then rapidly outlined a terrifying, outstretched dragon phantom.
"Roar!"
The roar from the ancient dragon shattered layers of void, and countless crimson lightning bolts fell, within which were streams of crimson fire condensed to the point of being almost liquid!
"Red Dragon Breath!"
As the crimson fire flowed down, the void collapsed wherever it passed, revealing a completely charred and burned trail.
The terrifying torrent of fire swept straight toward the young man. Before it had fully descended, the golden bridge beneath him began to melt, and the dark blue plain below was engulfed in flames.
Red, red, everywhere is a distorted red!
The title "Red Calamity" for Eremod is perfectly embodied at this moment.
The Ancient Red Dragon's oppressive aura enveloped all directions, and the vast Cyan Black Plain seemed to tremble under the terrifying power of this magic.
However, the young man, whose light had been completely concealed, seemed to ignore the terrifying torrent of fire that was sweeping towards him. He simply extended a finger and lightly touched the direction from which the fire was coming.
A tiny ice crystal flew from his fingertip.
Not even a snowflake, it wobbled and soared into the air, passing through waves of heat, and finally gently touched the very tip of the falling stream of fire.
"Buzz—"
The moment the ice crystals collided with the fire stream, the ice crystals melted silently, transforming into a snow-white stream of ice that rapidly flowed upstream along the fire stream.
Wherever the ice flow passed, terrifying streams of fire condensed. In an instant, this strange freezing power spread directly to Eremod's body, forming a thin layer of frost on his skin.
The Ancient Red Dragon's terrifying breath remained suspended in mid-air. Eremod stared in disbelief at the parts of his body covered in frost, shaking off chunks of ice.
When he turned his gaze back to the figure in front of him, his eyes were filled with deep apprehension, and his contempt was completely gone.
"What kind of Ice Magic is this? It can even freeze my Ancient Red Dragon fire."
"Standard Ice Magic"
On the broken golden bridge, a young man with frosty hair walked step by step upward through the void. A faint, chilling aura emanated from him, as clear as ice crystals, completely different from the previous golden brilliance.
"But it's an ancient-level frost."
As he spoke casually, Eremod frowned, still pondering the meaning of the words "Primordial," when suddenly, a sense of unease and trembling, emanating from his soul and originating from the depths of his blood, gradually arose spontaneously.
Eremod looked up and was shocked to find that the figure had somehow become standing in a very high position, almost level with the council elders who were on the white stone pillars.
The young man stood in a position that allowed him to look down on everyone, yet he still tilted his head slightly upward.
With arms outstretched, the sound that originally seemed like countless metals resonating gradually transformed into the crisp sound of countless ice crystals falling to the ground.
Around him, there was a terrifying mental pressure that far exceeded level five and was comparable to level six, which was released little by little like an exploding star or an expanding nebula.
"You."
"Let's all come at once."
"Otherwise, this trial will be of no enjoyment to me whatsoever."
After saying that.
"Boom!"
An indescribable, terrifying force field emanated from the youth's body, instantly forming an enormous, transparent fold that swept across the void and engulfed the entire area.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, including Eremod, the blue-gold color in the young man's eyes, visible only beneath his mask, faded away, transforming into two blazing, Snowy Sun.
Then he completely transformed into a brilliant, dazzling, snow-white sun.
Endless frost and cold waves were released from the snowy sun, and in an instant, the vast blue-black plain was completely buried by ice and snow.
In a daze, many people seemed to see the shadow of a colossal whale, with countless snow-white tentacles and an indescribably enormous size, slowly emerging from the blazing, snow-white sun and rising upwards.
At the same time, a clear, cold voice drifted into everyone's ears amidst the swirling snow.
Welcome everyone.
"My."
"The [Primordial Ice Capital]!"
"Boom!"
At that moment, the magma froze, and the red dragon howled in agony.
Everything seemed to be completely buried by ice and snow.
This is a supplement of over nine thousand words.
