"Let the Ice Dust Flower Sea dance..."
Xuanming's voice echoed in this space.
The ice sword he crushed turned into countless ice dust particles, swirling and dancing around him.
Lin Heng frowned as he scrutinized Xuanming's clone, trying to guess its next move.
Under Lin Heng's gaze.
Xuanming's clone waved his right hand.
The ice dust that had been surrounding him transformed into an ice storm, rapidly sweeping towards Lin Heng.
As the ice storm formed, the surrounding temperature dropped again.
The storm was still several kilometers away.
A strong wind is already blowing in our faces.
The whistling sound of wind breaking through the air echoed in Lin Heng's ears every moment.
Lin Heng activated the Origin of Fire, preparing to resist the onslaught of the storm at any time.
Um?
But in the blink of an eye, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The ice storm was originally several kilometers away.
Suddenly, Lin Heng was enveloped in a storm.
"Spatial power?"
"No, I definitely didn't sense any spatial fluctuations just now."
Lin Heng kept a close watch on the storm's movements while rapidly considering his options.
But he still couldn't understand how the Xuanming clone had managed to get him into the ice storm without him even noticing.
Before Lin Heng could think further, the ice storm quickly began to stir.
Within the swirling storm, countless ice blades, resembling flowers, began to hurtle towards Lin Heng.
The ice flowers were very small, less than one-tenth the size of a fingernail.
As tens of thousands of ice flowers surged in from all directions.
Lin Heng was completely enveloped by a sea of flowers, with no room to hide.
As the ice flower attack was about to land on him, Lin Heng's Origin of Fire rapidly spread across his body.
In an instant, Lin Heng was enveloped by the Origin of Fire, and his entire body was immersed in a world of flames.
'Bang bang bang bang!'
Ice flowers crashed against the walls of flames, creating a deafening roar that never ceased.
However, due to the elemental advantage/disadvantage.
Initially, the ice flower attack did not have a substantial impact on the fire barrier.
However, the ice flowers seemed to be endless.
In just a few dozen breaths.
The fire barrier had already been attacked by more than a million ice flowers.
At this time--
The fire barrier began to tremble violently.
Lin Heng took a closer look.
It turned out that the outer layer of its own flames had been worn away by the ice flowers.
Even if it's an attribute advantage/disadvantage relationship.
However, under the threat of overwhelming numbers, a certain qualitative change can also occur.
But upon closer inspection of the surrounding ice storm, there was absolutely no sign of it shrinking.
This made Lin Heng realize a problem.
Although the ice flowers split off from the ice storm.
But the storm never seemed to subside.
That means the Ice Storm is constantly replenishing its energy.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Heng began to understand.
Why did the ice storm suddenly trap me just now?
In fact, from the moment the water column rising from the lake turned into an ice pillar, and then to the moment the ice pillar shattered, the Xuanming clone's plan was already complete.
This space was already filled with countless ice blades.
What Lin Heng saw were only the larger ice blades.
There are also many more ice blades invisible to the naked eye, which became the reserve energy for Xuanming's clone.
The other party did this in an attempt to deceive Lin Heng with an illusion that could be seen with the naked eye.
According to normal thinking.
Since it can be seen with the eyes, there is no need to use the power of the soul to explore further.
Xuanming's clone took advantage of this human characteristic to create a false impression for Lin Heng.
As for the ice storm that suddenly enveloped Lin Heng earlier...
Based on Lin Heng's guess.
It wasn't an ice storm that suddenly appeared.
Instead, the Xuanming clone rapidly combined the tiny ice dust surrounding it, forming another ice storm.
It was merely the fusion of energy, not the instantaneous movement of a storm.
Lin Heng naturally couldn't sense the spatial fluctuations.
"Excellent tactic!"
Lin Heng figured out all the strange things and couldn't help but give a word of praise.
They truly deserve to be called Mu Chen's twelve guardians.
The battles against them were on a completely different level from those against the Saint Emperor.
However, the most crucial task at present is to resolve the pressure brought by the Xuanming clone.
As Bingchen continued his attacks, Lin Heng's flame barrier began to falter.
If this continues, Lin Heng's flame barrier probably won't last even a hundred breaths.
"A purely defensive approach, no matter how strong, will eventually be worn down by the ice flowers that multiply."
Lin Heng quickly began to analyze the situation.
The method used by Xuanming's clone is actually quite simple in principle.
It's the principle of water dripping on stone until it wears away.
Millions, even tens of millions, of ice flowers will attack your fire barrier.
Such a terrifying number could reverse even the seemingly incompatible relationship between water and fire.
Of course, the current situation is because Lin Heng is in a passive defensive posture.
If you only defend and never attack, you'll inevitably be worn down.
Therefore, Lin Heng also decided to change his strategy.
Lin Heng, who was inside the flame barrier, clasped his hands together, and a ball of fire rose from his palms.
It was only a small ball of fire, about the size of a thumb knuckle.
The terrifying energy contained within it had already affected the ice flowers that were rushing in from all directions even before it launched an attack.
The moment the Origin of Fire was successfully condensed.
Lin Heng suddenly looked up and stared ahead.
" Void Fire Realm!"
As Lin Heng's voice rang out, the ball of fire in his hand instantly scattered in all directions.
Wherever the firelight passed, the ice flowers that rushed towards them were instantly evaporated upon contact.
After destroying tens of thousands of ice flowers.
The firelight also touched the ice storm.
However, they only managed to resist for less than two or three breaths.
The ice storm began to melt, its size constantly shrinking.
Seeing that the situation was turning against him.
Xuanming's clone quickly waved his hand to retrieve all the ice dust, gathering it back around him.
At the moment when Xuanming's clone withdrew its attack.
Lin Heng was not idle.
Under Lin Heng's control, the flames continued to spread.
For a moment, one could look up at the sky from below.
Flames filled the sky, engulfing an area of ten miles around Lin Heng.
The intense fire-attribute energy caused the ice dust around Xuanming's clone to shrink continuously.
The constantly pulsating ice dust seemed to be expressing to Xuanming's clone his fear of the firelight.
Xuanming, hidden in the void, smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this scene.
Lin Heng's growth rate is indeed terrifying.
This battle, from its start to now, has taken less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
Lin Heng had already understood his intentions.
But that's not enough.
Lin Heng certainly possessed the strength to pass this test.
Xuanming, however, was well aware of the difficulty of the next two trials.
If Lin Heng is allowed to pass through like this, he may not be able to pass the fourth test.
"Looks like I'll have to push him a little harder!"
