The wind howled bitterly, and glaciers stood in rigid formations. Beneath Nine-Petal Frostflow, a new space seemed to have formed, every inch beneath its mark shrouded in cold.
Pale blue lightning darted like roaming dragons, rampaging through the cramped space and leveling every nearby house in the blink of an eye, leaving not a trace.
The Chessboard Zhiqi had tossed out fled in every direction in a panic.
Even the slightest touch of that blue radiance left a black mark on its body.
It was as though it had been struck by lightning-ugly and painful.
Moreover, the innate origin qi unique to Su Jiu seeped into its body along with those marks. It would take at least a year or so for them to fade naturally. Even though it had already reached the rank of an Innate Supreme Treasure, it still could not bridge the gulf between itself and a true deity who possessed a divine core.
Besides, when even the other deities had to steer clear of her wrath, a mere little Chessboard stood even less of a chance...
The Chessboard cursed Zhiqi over and over in its heart, all while ceaselessly begging Su Jiu for mercy.
It must have suffered eight lifetimes of rotten luck to end up with a master who loved stirring up trouble so much. It did not doubt for a moment that, had Zhiqi not been born a deity, someone like him would never have managed to ascend to immortality in his entire life.
With that personality, his enemies would surely have killed him more than ten thousand times over long ago.

Only when nearly all the buildings here had been destroyed did Shuang Jiu slowly appear and draw the Nine-Petal Frostflow mark
