Chapter 640 - 500: North District Unification: The Ultimate Battle, Faceless Snow Demon

"Not yet." Gao Neng shook his head.

He had reached Tier Eight Late Stage a day ago.

But even now, he hadn’t officially broken through to Tier Nine, which left him feeling a bit annoyed.

’What happened to the ’no bottleneck between Tier Eight and Tier Nine’ promise?’

’Useless system, you’re failing me!’

Gao Neng leaned back and lay down in the cold pool, letting its frigid water stimulate his body. The only thing comforting him now was that Fang Tangtang was also stuck at Tier Seven Late Stage, yet to break through.

’Of the twenty-five races in the North District, we’ve already taken control of twenty-three. The only ones left are the Snow Demon Race and their vassal, the Snowflake Race.’

’Whether or not I can break through to Tier Nine will depend on the Snow Demon Race’s source of evolution!’

"Let’s go. We’re heading out to the Snow Demon Race!"

"You got it!" Fang Tangtang showed no signs of fatigue. In fact, she had been so excited these past two days that she’d almost forgotten to sleep.

’Non-stop, high-octane fighting.’

’Slaying gods who got in our way.’

’Although, she hadn’t really participated in any of it...’

’But she got to watch from the sidelines!’

’A front-row seat! How awesome is that?!’

"What identity should we use to go to the Snow Demon Race?" Gao Xiaomeng slowly slipped on a snow-white long dress and shook out her long, silvery-white hair.

"Let’s just go as ourselves. It’s time to close the net anyway. Have Blood Frenzy and the others bring the Faceless Snow Demon back from Ice City," Gao Neng said with a small smile.

"And then, when the Faceless Snow Demon rushes back to Snow Demon City with a few Strongest in tow, he’ll find that everyone he brought back is one of us?" Fang Tangtang smiled as well.

"Exactly. Do you think that’s a bit too cruel?" Gao Neng mused.

"Is it? He was pretty cruel when he attacked us in Ice City," Gao Xiaomeng chimed in.

"Hmm, true. In that case, let’s be even crueler. Tell those Strongest from the West District to come back too. The negotiations have gone on long enough... there’s no point in talking anymore."

"Okay!"

"..."

The three of them set off toward Snow Demon City.

...

「Two hours later.」

Inside Ice City.

The Faceless Snow Demon, who was sitting upright in the City Lord’s Mansion, suddenly stirred.

On his featureless face, two eyes snapped open.

’Gao Neng?! Gao Xiaomeng!!!’ The Faceless Snow Demon never would have imagined that his Snow Demon City would be sneak-attacked by Gao Neng and Gao Xiaomeng.

Moreover, a distress signal had been sent to him.

"Faceless, something big has happened!" Just then, Blood Frenzy’s figure suddenly appeared before him, a look of extreme urgency on his face.

"Hmm?!" The Faceless Snow Demon looked at Blood Frenzy, his eyes flashing.

It was clear he was not pleased by Blood Frenzy’s sudden appearance.

In fact, he was even suspicious.

"It’s the Dragon Maiden! She appeared in my Blood Race’s Royal City and is now heading toward Snow Demon City. I don’t know if she will..." Blood Frenzy said immediately.

"What?!" The Faceless Snow Demon’s eyes widened again.

He had been trying to guess the timing and motive behind Blood Frenzy’s appearance here.

’But if this is related to the Dragon Maiden...’

’Then this isn’t a lie Blood Frenzy could just make up on the spot.’

"My suggestion is that there’s no need for us to remain at a stalemate over Ice City. It’s pointless. Faceless, if you insist on having Ice City, how about you trade one of your other main cities for it?" Blood Frenzy suggested again.

"Ice City is yours. You help me kill the Dragon Maiden!" the Faceless Snow Demon decided instantly.

"Deal!" A smile touched the corner of Blood Frenzy’s mouth. He then glanced behind him. "Since we’re leaving, we naturally can’t let any other Strongest remain in Ice City."

"If we join forces, they won’t dare to stay."

"Understood! Actually, a better way would be to have them all come with us to Snow Demon City. That way, the Dragon Maiden... will surely die!" Blood Frenzy suggested again.

"..." The Faceless Snow Demon was silent for a moment before finally nodding.

SWISH!

SWISH!

Several figures shot out from Ice City.

The dilapidated Ice City had finally become a solitary city once more.

「Two nights ago.」

Gao Neng had once said that he would use Ice City as bait to fish for the entire North District.

And now, he had done it.

While the Faceless Snow Demon and the other Strongest were competing for ownership of Ice City, he was in their rear, capturing their territories one by one.

Finally, the last moment was about to arrive.

The battle for Snow Demon City.

Win!

And the entire North District would belong to him.

Lose!

But losing was impossible!

There were a total of seventeen Strongest in the North District.

With the Blood Marshal fallen and returned to the Blood Pool, only sixteen remained.

The Snow Demon Race, including the Faceless Snow Demon, had two Strongest.

Besides them, there were fourteen other Strongest in the North District, all of whom now took orders from Gao Neng.

And then there was Xu Zilan.

’If they could still lose with this lineup...’

’...then there was truly no justice in the world.’

"Mom, you probably don’t need to get involved in this battle," Gao Neng said, pointing down at Snow Demon City before looking at Xu Zilan, who was beside him in plain clothes.

"I won’t act against the one in Snow Demon City. But the Faceless Snow Demon... Forget it. If you say I shouldn’t get involved, then I won’t," Xu Zilan hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

BOOM!

Below, the battle between Bloodthirst and the Snow Demon Race’s Strongest had reached a fever pitch.

The Snow Demon Race was born with powerful Spiritual Power.

And among them, the Faceless Snow Demon was the strongest.

With a body that was 100% elementalized and completely immune to physical attacks, plus his three souls, the Faceless Snow Demon’s power was an absolute extreme.

At least, in Gao Neng’s eyes, the Faceless Snow Demon was a being that completely countered him.

’There was just no way to fight him.’

This was the reason he didn’t want Xu Zilan to get involved in this battle.

However, he could tell from Xu Zilan’s words that she didn’t seem to fear the Faceless Snow Demon very much.

’Could it be? Is Mom also skilled in Spiritual Power attacks?’ Gao Neng wondered, but quickly shook his head.

He had watched Xu Zilan fight during this period.

She was vicious.

From the power she displayed, she was at least on the same level as Bloodthirst, Northwest Wolf, and the Faceless Snow Demon—perhaps even a little higher.

This was actually terrifying.

Because whether it was Bloodthirst, Northwest Wolf, or the Faceless Snow Demon, they were all at the pinnacle of the North District’s Strongest.

Yet Xu Zilan was stronger than two of them?

The implications of this were actually quite thought-provoking.

But that wasn’t the main point. The point was that Gao Neng had seen Xu Zilan’s fighting style, and it was basically pure physical attacks.

In other words, Xu Zilan and the Faceless Snow Demon were likely masters of two different fields.

One focused on pure Spiritual Power.

The other on pure physical attacks.

’If two such extremes were to clash, who would win and who would lose?’

Gao Neng couldn’t be sure.

’The Strongest truly do have special abilities.’ Gao Neng had watched quite a few battles between the Strongest during this time.

So, he had a clearer classification of the Strongest’s power in his mind.

Moreover, according to some rumors, the absolute peak Strongest of the foreign races were not actually in the North District.

The Eastern and South Districts were the biggest battlegrounds.

And of the two, the Eastern District was the most intense.

’That sword from the Beast Race, and the Celestial Race’s Six-winged Great Angels... those are the names I’ve heard most in the past two days. How strong could they be?’ Gao Neng tilted his head up.

And then, a few figures appeared in his line of sight.

These figures were approaching from the distance, all of them moving extremely fast.

The one in the lead was like a cloud of mist, drifting back and forth through the air. It looked slow, but was actually incredibly fast.

"Finally here, are you? Faceless Snow Demon!" Gao Neng raised a hand and waved at the Faceless Snow Demon, who was flying rapidly toward him from the distance.

「Three days ago.」

He had been beaten so badly by the Faceless Snow Demon that his teeth were scattered all over the ground.

Today, upon seeing the Faceless Snow Demon again, he found himself wondering... ’Where the hell are his teeth?’
