As dawn broke, the morning mist still lingered.

Li Qingshan had already traveled tens of millions of miles since stepping out of the shattered ruins of " Blizzard Prison," his black robes fluttering, yet not a speck of dust remained.

Breaking through nine levels of Hell in one night had minimal impact on him. His Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo resonated with heaven and earth, his divine power as deep as an abyss, circulating endlessly.

He stepped slowly through the air, as if strolling in a leisurely garden, his divine thoughts spreading out, covering thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

Although the killings of this night were to eradicate a cancer, the chilling atmosphere still lingers in my heart. At this moment, strolling through the sea of clouds and gazing at the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Big Dipper is also a way to cleanse and settle my mind.

Beneath the clouds, the Northern Plains stretch out vast and desolate, covered in endless ice and snow. This place is bitterly cold and sparsely populated, yet it possesses a majestic grandeur.

Li Qingshan's gaze swept over the area, then he suddenly paused slightly.

Below, deep within an ice-cracked canyon, divine energy surged violently, and a murderous intent was lurking.

"Call out!"

A blazing divine light carrying a golden chariot crashed into several ice peaks, shattering them in a chaotic display of rubble and snow.

On the chariot, Wang Teng was disheveled, his golden armor was torn in many places, and a deep wound on his chest, revealing bone, was gushing out blood with a golden glow. It was being corroded by a sinister curse that was hindering the regeneration of flesh and blood.

His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes remained as defiant as an eagle's, fixed on the Void ahead.

"The Northern Emperor Teng truly lives up to his reputation."

The chilling voices came from all directions, seemingly blending into the biting cold wind.

"At the initial stage of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, you managed to withstand three hundred breaths from us brothers, forcing us to use the ' Netherworld Soul-Locking Nail.' You have every reason to be proud."

Ripples spread across the Void, and two figures, seemingly woven from shadows, slowly emerged.

They were dressed in pale white assassin outfits that blended almost seamlessly with the icy environment, their faces covered by cold masks, revealing only two pairs of emotionless, venomous eyes.

Their auras were obscure yet powerful, clearly indicating they were all Half-Step Great Power at the peak of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform!

What's even more troublesome is that these two are connected by their auras, their steps following a strange rhythm, clearly indicating that they have cultivated a combined attack formation, subtly sealing off the space of this canyon, with killing intent layered upon layer.

Wang Teng coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with ice shards. The golden holy sword in his hand, which he had obtained from the inheritance site of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor, trembled slightly. Wherever the sword's edge pointed, fine black cracks appeared in the Void.

One substitute death charm was also used.

He felt a chill run down his spine, knowing full well that something was wrong.

For months, the Northern Plains Wang Family has been actively responding to the alliance's call to eradicate Hell and the Human World. He also personally led a team to sweep through three suspected strongholds of the Assassin Divine Dynasty in Northern Plains, killing many peripheral assassins and seizing a considerable amount of spoils.

They thought the other party was too busy dealing with the pressure from the alliance to retaliate, but unexpectedly, while they were surveying an ancient ruin in this remote icy wilderness far from the Wang Family family's power, they encountered such a precise and ruthless ambush!

These two assassins were clearly elite among Human World, not only surpassing him in cultivation but also working together seamlessly, their various assassination techniques making them impossible to defend against.

He relied on the secret techniques in the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture to disrupt the assassins' rhythm, and with the powerful primordial spirit he obtained through the secret cultivation of the "Former" character during his travels in the Eastern Wasteland, and the supernatural ability to constantly foresee deadly crises, he narrowly escaped several fatal attacks.

However, the absolute difference in cultivation level and the opponent's advantage of being two against one eventually led him to gradually exhaustion.

"My Wang Family will fight you to the death!"

Wang Teng roared, forcibly summoning his nearly depleted divine power. The golden holy sword erupted with its last brilliance, and a blurry imperial figure vaguely appeared behind him, exuding a desolate aura and carrying a tragic spirit of defeating all enemies and being reborn from the ashes after a hundred Nirvana.

"The profound meaning of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture? It's a pity you haven't grasped its true essence, nor have you grown to its full potential."

The assassin on the left spoke in a hoarse voice, and a slender rapier, formed entirely of shadow, suddenly appeared in his hand. He silently stabbed towards the back of Wang Teng's head, the timing extremely tricky, precisely at the delicate moment when Wang Teng's momentum was about to be unleashed, his old strength exhausted and his new strength yet to be generated.

A flicker of fervent greed flashed in his eyes, his icy voice continuing to carry on in the cold wind:

"Your father, Wang Chengkun, is spreading rumors everywhere that 'my son, Wang Teng, possesses the potential to become Great Emperor,' having obtained the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor and the Nine Secrets ' Nine Secrets: Qian. Hmph, that saves us a lot of trouble in our investigation. Ancient texts record that this secret is most adept at foreseeing fortune and misfortune, and tempering the primordial spirit! It perfectly aligns with the assassin path of our Divine Dynasty, second only to the 'Xing' character secret that allowed the Heavenly Court Assassin Divine Dynasty to run rampant hundreds of thousands of years ago!"

The assassin on the right formed a hand seal, and strange, eerie blue runes suddenly appeared on the ice beneath his feet. A chilling cold that pierced the soul erupted, transforming into countless icy blue chains that coiled around Wang Teng's feet and the golden chariot.

This is the " Black Ice God-Binding Chains," specifically designed to seal a cultivator's divine power and movement.

He continued, his tone equally cold:

" Present Self lay hidden in the shadows, waiting for my Human World. But the alliance of holy lands has become increasingly brutal in its encirclement and suppression, forcing us to take action. Capturing you and obtaining the 'Former' Secret and the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture will not only greatly enhance the survival and assassination abilities of my Divine Dynasty's assassins, but also provide a foundation to deal with the even more frenzied counterattacks to come! Wang Teng, blame your Wang Family for being too high-profile, and blame yourself for possessing such a treasure yet not yet having the strength to protect it!"

The two men's killing intent intensified with their words, their auras intertwining like a net, completely sealing off all of Wang Teng's escape routes.

For them, this was not just a retaliatory assassination, but a battle to seize Fortune that they were determined to win!

Wang Teng's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with both anger and shock.

It turns out that the other party was not only seeking revenge, but had also been eyeing the Nine Secrets passed down through generations! His father's high-profile publicity had now become a death warrant!

Wang Teng's pupils constricted sharply, and the "front" secret code frantically issued a warning, but his body's reaction could not keep up with the speed of the crisis.

"Buzz!!!"

The instant the shadowy dagger pierced his left shoulder, Wang Teng felt a chilling and vicious divine power burrow into his body like a venomous snake, frantically eroding his vitality and divine power.

He grunted, forcefully channeling the "Forward" secret technique, his primordial spirit blazing with golden light, forcefully suppressing the rampant alien force. At the same time, his right hand swung the golden holy sword back, slashing towards the throat of the assassin on his left.

This sword strike contained the " Defeat and Ruin Sword Intent " from the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture. Where the sword light passed, the Void revealed a tragic scene of star fields withering and ancient emperors shedding blood!

This is the potential he unleashed in dire circumstances, far exceeding his usual level.

A flicker of surprise crossed the eyes behind the assassin's mask on the left, but there was no panic.

His figure flickered like a ghost, vanishing into thin air at the height of Wang Teng's sword strike. The next instant, he re-emerged three zhang away, as if he had never moved. However, the shadowy dagger that had pierced Wang Teng's left shoulder remained in place, turning into a viscous black mist that continued to erode the wound.

"Shadow Escape Technique? No, it's Void Technique!"

Wang Teng's heart sank even further.

These two assassins were not only highly skilled, but also had an extremely profound understanding of the Dao of Space, far surpassing that of ordinary Half-Step Great Power.

The assassin on the right had already coiled his feet and the wheels of the chariot like a venomous python.

The biting cold instantly pierced through the golden armor, penetrating to the bone marrow. Wang Teng felt the flow of divine power in his lower body suddenly slow down, and even the runes on the golden chariot dimmed a bit.

" Ice Seals the Three Realms!"

The assassin on the right gave a low shout, his hand seals changing once more.

Suddenly, countless fine ice crystal runes bloomed on those icy blue chains, and an even more terrifying freezing power erupted, threatening to freeze Wang Teng and his chariot into an Eternal sculpture!

Wang Teng's pupils contracted, and his primordial spirit frantically issued a warning.

He knew that once he was completely frozen, there would be no chance of turning things around.

" Disorder Heaven and Shake Earth!"

He roared furiously, ignoring the injury to his left shoulder and the ice covering his lower body, and frantically poured his remaining divine power into the golden holy sword in his hand.

At the same time, the blurry imperial figure behind him suddenly became clear for a moment, as if a phantom of an unparalleled ancient emperor who had experienced countless defeats and finally Nirvana had cast a glance at him.

"Boom!"

Centered on Wang Teng, the surrounding Void suddenly twisted and collapsed, like a crumpled painting. Countless dark Void cracks appeared out of nowhere, spreading like a spider web, frantically devouring everything around them: ice and snow, rocks, light, and even spiritual energy!

This is precisely the prototype of the supreme secret technique recorded in the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture, the Heaven-Disordering Secret Technique!

Although it is far from reaching the supreme state of " Eternal Exile," it is enough to disrupt the rules of a region.

The icy blue chains trembled violently in this distorted Void, their freezing power constantly weakened and torn apart by the chaotic spatial forces.

The assassin on the right let out a muffled groan, clearly affected by the backlash from the secret technique.

Wang Teng seized this fleeting opportunity, and the golden holy sword erupted with its final blazing light, unleashing a " Severing the Dao " strike!

This sword strike was not aimed at the two assassins, but at the icy blue chains binding him and the shadowy black aura that was corroding his left shoulder!

The sword light was like the first ray of light Heaven-Opening, containing the resolute will to sever the laws and destroy all paths!

"Sizzle!"

Several icy blue chains snapped instantly, and most of the shadowy black mist was also cleaved away.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Teng propelled the almost frozen Golden War Chariot backward, forcing it to retreat dozens of feet and temporarily escape the most dangerous frozen core.

But the price he paid was extremely high.

Forcibly activating the nascent " Heaven-Disordering Secret Technique " and unleashing the " Severing the Dao " sword intent, his already nearly depleted divine power was almost exhausted, and his primordial spirit also experienced sharp, needle-like pain due to excessive activation of the "Previous" secret technique.

The wound on his left shoulder was no longer suppressed, and the black aura spread again, causing half of his body to become numb.

"Puff!"

He coughed up another mouthful of blood, his breath extremely weak. He could only barely support himself with his sword as he stood on the chariot. His golden armor was shattered, his long hair was stained with blood, and he looked extremely miserable.

After the chaos in the Void subsided, the two assassins regained their footing.

Their breathing was also somewhat disordered, clearly indicating that Wang Teng's desperate counterattack was not entirely ineffective.

The assassin on the left had a tear in his robe on his shoulder, revealing pale skin underneath;

A trace of icy blue blood spilled from the corner of the assassin's mouth on the right—the backlash from the broken secret technique.

But the murderous intent and greed in their eyes burned even brighter.

"What a remarkable successor to the Chaotic Ancient Era!"

The assassin on the left spoke with a hint of seriousness, but mostly with excitement.

"With such cultivation, you possess such combat prowess. The Eastern Exalt's realm might not even surpass this. The Emperor's Scripture is indeed profound! That 'Former' secret is even more miraculous, allowing you to narrowly escape death several times. Unfortunately, today it is destined to benefit my Divine Dynasty!"

The assassin on the right wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly:

"A dying struggle only adds to your suffering. Hand over the Imperial Scripture and the Nine Secrets, and perhaps we can preserve your body intact, allowing your Wang Family a chance to properly bury you."

Wang Teng gave a bitter laugh, but his eyes grew even more defiant:

"Even if I, Wang Teng, die in battle, I will never bow down to you cowards! Want the inheritance? Come and take it yourself!"

Although he was exhausted, his inherent pride did not allow him to yield in the slightest.

"Stubborn and incorrigible."

The two assassins exchanged a glance, their murderous intent surging.

They held back, deciding to crush the enemy with overwhelming force and end the battle as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

" Netherworld Dual Killing Formation, activate!"

The two shouted in unison, and their figures suddenly transformed, one to the left and one to the right, into two intertwined and swirling vortexes of nether energy.

Within the vortex, countless shadowy blades and ice crystal spikes materialized out of thin air, accompanied by mournful wails and howls, forming a deathly domain that enveloped the entire canyon!

Within the area, the temperature plummeted to extreme cold, as if even space itself had been frozen.

Even more terrifying, a chilling killing intent aimed directly at the primordial spirit spread out, interfering with divine consciousness and slowing down thought.

This is precisely the combined killing formation used in the Human World to deal with powerful enemies, perfectly integrating the assassination techniques of the two to form a domain of absolute killing.

When Wang Teng was inside, he felt as if he had fallen into the deepest hell, his soul was pierced by pain, and his thoughts became sluggish.

The warnings from the "Previous" secret have become blurred, and one can only sense the omnipresent and all-pervasive deadly crisis.

"It's over, Northern Emperor."

The two assassins' intentions merged, echoing within the domain.

In the next instant, endless shadow blades and ice crystal spikes swept towards Wang Teng from all directions, from every angle, like a blizzard!

Each attack contained the full power of Half-Step Great Power, enough to easily pierce mountains and freeze rivers.

What's even more terrifying is that these attacks are not chaotic, but rather form a mysterious formation that seals off all escape routes, with their power layered upon layer!

This is a decisive situation!

Wang Teng's eyes were bloodshot; he knew he was powerless to fight back any longer.

But he was unwilling to perish like that!

"Roar,!"

He let out a beastly roar, pouring his last bit of divine power, indomitable fighting spirit, and even a portion of his burning life essence into the golden holy sword in his hand and the blurry imperial shadow behind him.

" The Emperor's Descent!"

The blurry Chaotic Ancient Era emperor's figure behind him seemed to be moved by his resolute decision, and it solidified slightly, casting a gaze that was indifferent yet contained endless majesty.

The golden holy sword in Wang Teng's hand then burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, and on the sword's blade, phantom images of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, plants, and the birth and death of all things appeared!

He no longer defended himself, nor did he try to dodge the endless attacks.

Instead, he merged with his sword, transforming into a golden comet that seemed to Heaven-Opening, carrying a fierce and resolute spirit that said, "Even if there are millions of people, I will go; even if I die, I will have no regrets," and charged straight towards the core of the two assassin vortexes!

This was his final strike, a culmination of all his energy, spirit, life, and will!

This was the final answer given by Emperor Teng of the North when faced with a desperate situation!

war!!!

"Total destruction?" The assassin's chilling thoughts echoed, "You're not qualified!"

The Netherworld Dual Killing Formation was unleashed at full power, and the torrent of shadows and ice collided violently with the golden comet that Wang Teng had transformed into!

"Boom,!!!!!"

An indescribable roar exploded in the icy valley, ten or even a hundred times more violent than any previous collision! At the center of the impact, space shattered like glass, revealing the dark void behind it.

The terrifying shockwave spread wildly in a ring, and wherever it passed, the ice peaks that had remained frozen for thousands of years collapsed and shattered like sandcastles, completely changing the landscape of the canyon and forming a huge ring-shaped crater!

Golden light and dark blue light intertwined and annihilated wildly.

When Wang Teng, in his golden comet form, had traveled less than a third of the way into the core of the killing formation, his speed suddenly decreased as if he had hit an impenetrable wall.

The illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars on the sword shattered one after another, the imperial shadow behind it swayed violently, and finally let out a silent sigh before vanishing with a bang.

He could clearly feel his divine power rapidly being depleted, his life essence burning away, and the holy sword in his hand groaning under the strain.

The shadowy blade sliced through his golden armor, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds;

The icy spikes pierced his protective divine light, injecting a chilling aura of death into his internal organs.

My vision began to blur, and my consciousness gradually faded.

"Am I going to die?!" A thought flashed through his mind, filled with endless resentment and regret.

His father's proud face, his younger brother's dependent eyes, the expectations of the Wang Family family, and his own ambition to reach the pinnacle and follow in the footsteps of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor.

Everything, everything, will be buried along with the dust of this icy valley.
