Kars Dawn and several other divine descendants had already rushed to the gates of ice, while the three arbiters had taken their places by the narrow crack where the doors stood slightly ajar. Lin Li and Yun Tianyi, along with their followers, dressed in Dawn Temple divine robes, had likewise mingled with the crowd and surged outside the gates.
The freezing air spewing from within the gates pierced to the bone, the white chill almost condensed into crystal-like substance. Behind Kars Dawn and the others, several temple knights whose strength was no more than Heaven-rank were lightly brushed by the white mist. With a single scream, they froze into blocks of ice, then their bodies rapidly collapsed and shattered, turning into ice slag scattered all over the ground.
"Before my god, all evil power shall vanish into smoke and dust!" Several divine descendants roared at once. Projections of divine incarnations appeared behind them, and white divine light swept forward like a flood, clearing away all the freezing air pouring from within the gates.
The three arbiters refused to be outdone. Though they could not summon projections of divine incarnations as easily as the divine descendants, they spared no cost, burning their own blood essence to summon a divine incarnation to shield them as well. Golden divine light surged forward in a vast torrent, washing away even the last trace of cold air.
Of the knights from the two great temples, only a little over a thousand could still barely stand firm. The warriors formed from cold air were extremely difficult to deal with. Once they were stabbed or slashed by them, bone-chilling cold would invade their bodies. Even with divine power protecting them, before long the chill would still spread through their bodies and freeze them into ice sculptures.
