"Bluffing!"
Siming's Dao heart was steadfast. He would not be shaken by his opponent's verbal provocation. Countless snow mountain giants rose from the ground, knelt before Siming, and submitted to him. Then countless flexible stone pillars grew from the earth, as nimble as an octopus's tentacles.
The Ninth-Level Immortal knocked down a snow mountain giant with one punch, but in the next instant, an immortal-metal lifeform hidden inside the giant's head launched a sneak attack at him.
The snow mountain giants were merely a smokescreen. The true method was the immortal-metal lifeforms hidden inside them!
These immortal metals had not been refined, so they lacked the might of immortal artifacts. But immortal metal was renowned for its toughness to begin with. Even Yingtian Immortal had used immortal metal to refine his body. One could imagine just how terrifying its hardness was.
The Ninth-Level Immortal's fist smashed into the immortal-metal lifeform's face, leaving a fist print all the same, but causing no substantial injury!
The Ninth-Level Immortal had intended to leap into the air, but a branch-like tentacle suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped around his ankle. Countless years ago, a towering tree had been frozen in the permafrost. Now, Siming had enlightened it.
Beneath the Extreme North lay an unknown number of buried corpses, all within the scope of Siming's enlightenment.
Although the Ninth-Level Immortal immediately tore himself free of the branch-like tentacle, it gave the immortal-metal lifeforms an opportunity.
Three or five immortal-metal lifeforms swarmed him and pinned down his limbs. Another sat on his body and punched him squarely in the face, every blow powerful enough to hammer a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator to death.
The Ninth-Level Immortal instantly transformed into a flame lifeform, tangible in appearance but formless in substance, and passed through the immortal-metal lifeforms.
"Refine!"
