Chapter 1238: Frigid Depths, the Forbidden Area (1/2)

In a forbidden area at the heart of the Domain of Frigid Depths.

The frosty mist that filled the entire domain seemed to originate from this place.

It was a lake that emanated an intense frigid aura. The surface was as smooth as a mirror, with a thick, white mist spreading from its center towards every remote corner of the Domain of Frigid Depths.

This lake was called the Frigid Depths.

The Domain of Frigid Depths had been named after it.

On the glistening surface of the lake stood a throne that had been carved from a glacier, on which sat a Bonebrute: Grand Monarch Ice Bones.

Completely motionless, Grand Monarch Ice Bones, who was hundreds of meters tall, looked down at the Frigid Depths with profound cold auras exuding from his eyes, which looked like a pair of icy crystals.

Ripples would rise on the tranquil lake from time to time.

FZZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!

Sparks of starlight could be seen flashing in the depths of the lake.

At first glance, it looked as if there were a starry river in the lake, with numerous sparkling stars in the dark. At the same time, a huge shadow could be seen in the depths of the lake, as if something was imprisoned under there.

That figure channeled power from the starry river and cast profound incantations, yet all of its attempts to break free from the Frigid Depths failed.

Grand Monarch Ice Bones lifted his large hand.

Drops of Blood Essence that were white and spotless flew out of his sparkling icy fingertips. Exuding a bleak aura of death, they spread on the lake’s surface before dispersing downwards.

BOOM!

Tens of thousands of interweaving silver lights suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake. As the essence of Grand Monarch Ice Bones’ blood, they were vested with the profound mysteries of the ultimate bleak and cold death power.

As that happened, tranquility was restored to the slightly rippled lake surface.

The enormous starlight-emanating shadow that was struggling in the depths of the lake was held down once again.

BOOOOM!

A large piece of ice that stood in a corner of the lake suddenly started to shake violently.

As it shattered, Lu Qingchen emerged.

At the same time, billions of rays of icy light interwove and set up the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom once again, forming around the space where he emerged.

It was just that the reformed Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom was significantly smaller than its original form.

WHOOSH!

The Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword that had been forged after spending ten thousand years in the Frigid Depths was cast out by Lu Qingchen. It descended into the Frigid Depths, as if to absorb its cold power, which would help it repair itself.

“Sectmaster Lu,” Grand Monarch Ice Bones said in broken human language. “You’ve taken care of those Saint domain cultivators from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace? Saint domain cultivators’ inner domains are rather valuable. If you could separate them, I bet you’d be able to sell them for a good price. Although I reckon that’s not a hard thing to do with the help of your Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom and Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword.”

“There... was a little problem, Grand Monarch,” Lu Qingchen said, sagging his head.

“Problem?” Grand Monarch Ice Bones’ eyes widened slightly, and a bleak, bone-chilling aura seemed to pierce into Lu Qingchen’s mind.

Even though Lu Qingchen also practiced cold power, he shuddered involuntarily before hastily explaining, “Strong reinforcements from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace arrived!”

Grand Monarch Ice Bones snorted disdainfully. “Strong reinforcements? Who from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace other than Luo Wanxiang could pose a threat to you?”

“The seventh Son of the Stars, Nie Tian,” Lu Qingchen answered.

Grand Monarch Ice Bones’ eyes grew wide. “Are you kidding? What can a Son of the Stars do? Even Dou Tianchen isn’t to be feared, much less Nie Tian.”

CRACK! CRACK!

With these words, his flesh aura sea suddenly spread out, freezing everything within a million kilometer radius around him, including space itself.

His command of cold power, freezing ability, and range of influence was who-knew-how many times superior than Lu Qiangchen’s.

“Of course it wasn’t Nie Tian himself,” Lu Qingchen said with his eyes cast down. Fear could be heard in his voice. “There were also Mo Qianfan from the Heavenly Thunder Sect, who has recently entered the God domain, and Yin Xingtian from the Streamcloud Sword Sect. That Yin Xingtian even nearly pierced through me with his divine tool Heavenbreaker.”

Grand Monarch Ice Bones was clearly taken aback upon hearing these names. “Mo Qianfan and Yin Xingtian?!”

Even though he was a Bonebrute grand monarch, he seemed to be familiar with Mo Qianfan and Yin Xingtian. “Mo Qianfan wasn’t worth mentioning before he entered the God domain. However, I’ve heard stories about that Yin Xingtian since long ago. Not only is he a very seasoned cultivator who’s accumulated power at the late Saint domain for many years, but he holds a mighty divine tool as well...”
