Chapter 368 – The Ice Phoenix’s Nes (1/2)
t
When the sky of frost and snow finally cleared up, Fatty had disappeared. The two demons who had been guarding him were discovered shivering covered in a thin layer of ice.
“Where’s the human?” Emperor Occult Flame angrily questioned.
Two demons exchanged glances, unable to provide an answer.
“Useless trash!” Emperor Occult Flame wished he could just slap these two to death, but when recalling that he didn’t have many underlings left and was still at war in this place, he held back the idea.
A sudden long screeching sound alerted everyone of the arrival of a phoenix that wasn’t any smaller than the Ghost Phoenix. A great exasperation could be heard in its voice, “Ghost Phoenix, how dare you come to my Doomsday Ice Plain and kill my people!”
“Why the bullshit when the killing’s already done?” The Ghost Phoenix coldly replied. “Ice Phoenix, since you are here, might as well leave your life.”
“Hahahaha!” The Ice Phoenix burst into laughter as if it had just heard something funny. A wave of visible cold air spread out and froze the surging flames around in the blink of an eye.
The flames weren't snuffed out but were directly frozen like dancing ice. This just showed how strong the Ice Phoenix’s ability in ice magic was.
“Rarrww!” A booming roar echoed. A giant that could reach 100 meters tall, covered in long white fur, and had hair that was also snow-white came running over in long strides with a huge axe in his hand. His momentum was thunderous, each step several hundreds of meters away from the previous. In a few jumps, the giant came before the crowd.
“Why, you underground fire world, wants an all-out war with our Doomsday Ice Plain?” The giant shouted.
“The Ice Plain Giants and the Frost War God were all killed by them. What is this if it’s not war already?” The Ice Phoenix commented in rage.
“Then let’s fight.” The giant swung his axe that was as big as a hill and volleyed it toward the Ghost Phoenix.
“Screeeech!” Along with a long and sharp whistle, a dense distribution of fist-sized ice spheres appeared in the sky, each containing a large amount of ice elements and like a bomb, they’d explode once they touched the Ghost Phoenix and its group. As tens of millions of ice spheres burst and strong cold air blew out, everyone except the five Divine experts were turned into ice sculptures.
“Achoo!” Running very far away from the battlefield, Fatty let out a big sneeze. Had it not been for his quick reaction, he would have been frozen into a lump of ice too.
This battle was even more intense than the previous one. And when two more experts of the ice plain came to join the fray, it pushed the fight to new heights. Nine Divine experts, every move of which was packed with enormous power, flattened all the ice within a radius of several hundred kilometers. Some places turned from snowy cold to scorching in less than a second, ice and fire filling the heavens and earth.
“So intense.” Fatty sighed. God-tier experts were rarely seen, but now there were suddenly nine in one place and fighting hard to boot, providing Fatty with an extremely enjoyable show.
However, this kind of battle was also a common cause of collateral damage, and there was no benefit to standing here watching. And Fatty didn’t do anything non-profitable.
“Ice Phoenix came from this direction.” Taking a last look at the intertwined Ghost Phoenix and Ice Phoenix in the sky, Fatty disappeared.
Over a thousand miles away from the battlefield, there was an ice mountain. It was as high as ten kilometers and made up entirely of ice. The slope was steep and almost impossible to climb. At the first sight of this mountain, Fatty believed firmly this was the nest of the Ice Phoenix.
Fatty spread his wings and slowly flew up. The place was already cold, and the temperature still dropped after he took off. When Fatty was a kilometer up from the ground, the cold nearly froze him.
Chilling cold winds shrieked and hurt like a knife when they blew on his face. Fatty had no doubt that if he stopped moving now, the cold would only take a while to freeze him to death.
When flying to a height of three kilometers, Fatty could no longer stand the temperature. There wasn’t only cold wind here, but also ice rain. Each drop landing on his body could compare to a piercing arrow, dealing unspeakable pain, and his health would decline.
“Forget it, I’ll just use a few more.” Fatty generally tried not to use the Elemental Movement Arts as much as he could due to the limited number of usages per day, considering it a life-saving last resort. Now it looked like he had no choice but to use it.
Clinging to the ice slope, Fatty appeared kilometers above in a blink, and then made two more Waterwalks, and successfully appeared on the top of the mountain.
Whew! Fatty had just emerged when a cold gale blew past. He shuddered and his health dropped by a large chunk, nearly frozen to death. Up here, the violent cold winds mixed with dense ice rain with ice drops as big as a fist instantly shaved off Fatty's health until it was in the red zone.
“Mama! Freezing me to death.” Fatty sneezed loudly again, his face purple from the cold.
The top of the mountain had a radius of several thousand meters and was concave, forming a pit. The pit was barren inside, barring some scattered feathers.
“The Ice Phoenix feathers?” Fatty threw Appraisal on a feather and the specific information was displayed.
